Photographer Shanna Jones captured epic shots of the Steampunk coffee shop in Cape Town, South Africa. 'Truth,' the name of the coffee shop was created by Heldane Martin and it is so original and radically designed.
Martin found the design of espresso machines and coffee roasters reminded her of the same futuristic Victorian style as the one Steampunk encompasses. She also wanted to be sure that 'Truth' made the very best coffee to give the whole atmosphere of the cafe an extra edge.
The entire shop takes your eyeballs on a rollercoaster ride. Shelves are lined with antique typewriters, lamps, Singer sewing machines, bottles and clocks. A unique machine skeleton lies exposed under the coffee maker and a classic Steampunk mask hangs off of it. The room is so futuristic yet raw with colors of brass, rust, gold, silver, steel and deep red.
The cafe is so meticulously designed it's like a life-sized page of an I, Spy book.

I was at a thrift store yesterday and bought a free standing divider screen... it has 3 sections & each holds 5 (8x10) pictures. So I can hold 15 photo's all together- either 8x10 or adding mats I could use different sizes as well.
Has anyone ever seperated the sections and used these somehow to frame pictures on a tall wall? Like I wondered what it would be like if I took the hinges off the screen and added some sort of nice chain or holders and attached them side by side on a large wall? Any thoughts on this??? I need some ideas to use this- it was just too cool to leave there :) Thank you!!! |

What a cool find! I'd have snagged that too! Kids art projects, fav poems or quotes, old love letters or cards, cartoons that tickle your funny bone, seed packets with pretty pictures, favorite recipes, news paper clippings that have special meaning for you, gosh I could go on and on, but you now better than I what has true significance to you and all could be fun to put in something like that! You could use a matt for a more formal look, or fabric, construction paper, aluminum foil, or whatever fits your theme. You could use several of each item if they're smaller to make a montage in each frame... I'd be playing with it to see what fits my decor and just let the imagination direct me. |
I actually found one of these curbside and brought it home. I ended up giving it to my sister and we had to take it apart to get it in her van. The hinges were easy to remove. I think it would be cool to hang two of the pieces horizonally on a tall wall. You could use the third piece vertically somewhere else. With ours, we ended up putting it back together and putting old lace curtains in the openings. I think she's done with it now, so maybe I should get that back and repurpose it! |

The painter Alidoro - a foundling who is identified at the end as Floridano, brother of the Phoenician queen Arnea - introduced the Portuguese tenor Fernando Guimarães. The fact that this dashing young man was sought after not only by the Queen Orontea, but also by other ladies of the court was credible. Vocally he convinced with his pleasant timbre. | Udo Pacolt - Der Neue Merker full review
Fernando Guimarães sings Orontea's heartbreaker Alidoro - who also confuses all the other women's hearts - with a naturally virile tenor voice. He plays the erotic sun king (the supposed tramp turns out to be an aristocrat) with charming self-irony. | Dieter David Scholz full review
The portuguese Fernando Guimarães plays the charming painter Alidoro - a good-looking and flighty young man who will eventually be crowned King of Egypt - with a beautiful sense of stage. | Luc Roger - Munich & Co. full review
Fernando Guimarães gives his Alidoro much strength and mellowness during the quite long way to the final party. | Jörn Florian Fuchs - Deutschlandfunk full review
Fernando Guimarães plays and sings through the favours and mistreats of all the women as in a parody of the Sun King, with tenoral freshness and delicious self-irony. | Ursula Strohal - Tiroler Tageszeitung full review

Moradabad celebrates win against Polio with Hockey
Daya Shankar and Anupam Srivastava Moradabad: It was not only time for celebration but also time for re-dedication to the cause of polio eradication as former hockey Olympians Zafar Iqbal and Dhanraj Pillai, among others, signed a pledge for polio eradication. The pledge was signed after an exhibition match on the theme "Hum phir jeetenge" (we will win again), which was held as a build up to the Beijing Olympics. It found an immediate resonance with the polio programme that is striving to sustain its victory in controlling Type 1 polio virus in Moradabad. "We have to win both matches to make India proud," said Moradabad District Magistrate Amit Kumar Ghosh. The mood in Moradabad is upbeat and is energising the efforts in eradicating polio from a district which was said to be at the "epicentre" of the polio virus outbreak in 2006. Moradabad had 52 Type 1 cases in 2006. With an aggressive immunisation strategy that focussed on the Type 1 virus, Moradabad succeeded in reducing virus transmission and reported its last Type 1 polio case in September 2006. In 2007, it remained free of the Type 1 virus. This year the district has one Type 3 case and still not a single Type 1 case. The hockey match was played on the last day of the polio round and the players while making a case for India's victory in the Olympics also wished success to Moradabad to make it completely polio free.
The day was marked by a rally of more than 2,000 school children wearing sun-visors that carried the message of polio eradication. The players – more than 20 Olympians to constitute the two sides that would play against each other – participated in a march to the Sonakpur Stadium. The stadium also sported the polio banners in the most strategic locations and as the match was played in the stadium packed to capacity, the day went to hockey as well as polio. With the match over, the players signed the pledge card amid cheers from the spectators. The pledge card read, "it is the right of each child to be free of polio and to play so that she/he can help the country achieve glory in the realm of sports". Dhanraj Pillai, former Indian hockey team captain was overwhelmed to see the enthusiasm for polio eradication and wondered if it was the polio programme partners who had organised the match! The District Magistrate in a message said that while it was the moment to celebrate and cheer, it was also the time to be cautious. "We do know the virus has not been eliminated completely. At no instance should we abandon caution. Parents, vaccinators, social mobilizers – must all work hard to ensure that no child is missed," he said.

This is a picture of BME in 2013. I've had it since 2008. It is in its 6th year this season and in what I consider to be a significant LEAP year. Some of you may recall this newbie pondering whether or not to divide BME for no other purpose than to have more BME's last July/Aug. I did go ahead and ended up with 4 divisions as they separated themselves so easily. Least year it produced 11 pips and 9 perfectly proportioned flower scapes (see photo). Are you ready??? ... ... ... This year ... "wait for it" ... ... this year the pots contain 14, 8, 6, and 4 pips respectively - for a grand total of 32 pips! I think that is a tremendous leap in one year, don't you? It may still be producing pips as I type!! Hmm, is there something significant about the coincidence of even numbers? Interesting. It is always more pleasing to the eye when they grow in multiples of 3 (per pot) but I am not disturbing these little Mice! :-) --- yet. I think the dividing and potting up (don't mean up-potting) had a significant role in this huge increase. (It grew in the ground previously.) It was obviously happier in a soilless growing medium and snuggled in a small pot! - in only Miracle Grow - no other amendments. Aside: I now use my own mix and will be repotting those hostas destined to continue in pots for the rest of the year. My mix came about as a result of numerous excellent responses to my recent thread seeking advice on potted hostas. Would anyone care to comment on this phenomenal growth? I am obviously very happy. This, and Holy Mouse Ears are the easiest minis to grow! If you don't yet own one, why ever not? It is absolute perfection! I've never "pampered" it and ignored written advice to let it grow in a pot until it gets established. It grew fairly well despite me, lol! But not as well as this. Esther, you just got one and have lots to look forward to with yours. Bkay you also have a huge beauty in a pot. Well, there are a couple of things I touched upon here.

It is difficult to clearly see the very dark purple noses here but here's a pic anyway. The BME's will be keeping each other company within a larger pot but remain hidden inside these. I'll post an updated picture sometime. :-) Jo |

Boy but this board is jumping! I post a thread, add another pic and just like that I end up number 8! That'll teach me to leave it alone if I want it to capture attention, lol. |

Jo: Very nice BME. My first one (2011, I think) went from ground to pot in 2012 and was putting on some size last year. After the winter I think it may be gone. I see/feel tiny little eyes, but it'n not really doing anything. Luckily, I bought a second one last year, just because it looked really nice. It's in the ground and coming up just fine with 8 eyes. Hope it grows like yours has in the next couple of years. |

I have BME,and I did have Frosted Mouse Ears,until this year,when it failed to return. I know you all like them mini hostas,but they are pathetic growers here,and I won't buy another one. Just too little to keep among my'land of the giants'. Phil |

Jo, I had a nice story all typed up and went out to take a photo and the electricity went off. I got photos, though. bk |

Hosta hosta, I'm sure your Blue Mouse Ears will take off, having 8 eyes already in year two. Wow. When I first bought mine it cost $25+ tax for a tiny eye! maybe had 3 leaves, but SO darn cute I just had to have it. I understand, Phil - but I am sorry you lost your Frosted ME just the same. Like the reference to your "land of the giants", really appropriate, lol...space is at a premium here so the last year or more I've added several minis and smalls. Then I "needed" some biggies, and on and on it goes, lol. Thank you, Santa and Mocc! Mocc, I remember your nose gay description because it suited it so :-). Thanks for the pic! Yes, when I was dividing, "try a little tenderness" wasn't in the script! That is one cute but tough little hosta. Bkay, I'm so glad you were able to post your pic because yours is the biggest BME I think I've seen. I remember it was so big it looked like it was climbing out of the pot last year - looks like you've divided it some. I hope Esther sees it! :-). Sorry about your power outage ... so inconvenient ... I/we missed a good story no doubt! Thank you for looking, and reading and sharing, All. Jo |
Jo, either you have me mixed up with someone else, or that was when I was trying to figure out which was the Blue Cadet and which is the BME. When Cleo mauled them, I just put blue pieces together in pots as I could not tell what was what. Blue Cadet is on the left with some BME in the pot. Since BME is a sport of Blue Cadet, they are very similar. bk |

I remember seeing a photo of your BME last year. It was so pretty---I said I want mine to look like Jo's! So you are saying you divided your 11 pip hosta into four and now have pots with 14, 8, 6 and 4 eyes! That is unbelievable. You lucked out. I'm envious! LOL I purchased two Blue Mouse Ears in 2012. One had two eyes and the other three. Last year that didn't really change. This year I am crossing my fingers that there will be more than the three eyes I see at present! |

I remember that post! I posted on it too as I had both BC and BME..Mocc may have posted too saying how Banyais Dancing Girl also resembled BC...or something to that effect...about it almost looking like a twin...I read lots of posts. I could swear it was your potted BME I was referring to - perhaps subliminally I was associating all gorgeously grown container plants with you...which started with So Sweet. Perhaps it was Babka's? Whoever is the owner, it is a superb specimen of BME. I should be more careful assigning credit - I would not want to slight anyone. |

Jo, I remember that picture, which looks so much like yours, but was fuller perhaps, more blooms, but it could have been yours before quartering it. I loved it. Yes, and there was discussion about BME and BCadet, and then Banyai's Dancing Girl.....which I really admire. What's not to like about something that looks good and is cheap to buy and multiplies nicely. The smalls are some of the most versatile hostas around. I know if the picture that we speak of is still up, you will find it, Jo. You are the Search Queen around here. Speaking of slighting anyone, with all the posts flying fast and furious, it is easy to get confused by who put the picture up. Your sensitivity to the feelings of others is a hallmark of your posts on the forum. I appreciate your kindness, Jo. I found one thread which shows the Blue Cadet pictures of MBug in 2012. Not the main thread, but I recall that particular BC because it inspired me to order it! Perhaps it was MBug or she might know who had the BME that was so exceptional in bloom. |

BINGO! It was Babka's! I haven't looked lately but if this picture above isn't in the hosta library, it certainly should be! Her pictures are no longer available but the text is there....where she indicates how huge hers has gotten! There are great pics on this thread (link provided). Mocc, I appreciate your kind words. :-). I looked into your link which was from 2012 (before my time). Such amazing photos! NHL, it took 5 years to accumulate 11 eyes in the ground. You will definitely have a faster growth rate based on multiple eye count to start. |

The Christmas dog bow tie is a nice compromise for canines who aren't overly enthused about dressing up.
With this tie, you get to see your furry friend ready for the holidays and they don't have to be confined by the restraints of a reindeer suit. The crochet bow clips onto your dog's collar using flexible elastic fasteners. It can be adjusted to prevent irritation. It is also made out of green gingham with a checkered red ribbon in the center.
You can find the festive Christmas dog bow tie at the CharlieHeartsDiesel Etsy shop owned by pet lover Ashleigh. Part of the proceeds from purchase go towards the Riverside City Animal Shelter for abandoned pets.

The Mayan civilization flourished throughout much of Guatemala and the surrounding region long before the Spanish arrived, but it was already in decline when the Mayans were defeated by Pedro de Alvarado in 1523-24. During Spanish colonial rule, most of Central America came under the control of the Captaincy General of Guatemala.
The first colonial capital, Ciudad Vieja, was ruined by floods and an earthquake in 1542. Survivors founded Antigua, the second capital, in 1543. In the 17th century, Antigua became one of the richest capitals in the New World. Always vulnerable to volcanic eruptions, floods, and earthquakes, Antigua was destroyed by two earthquakes in 1773, but the remnants of its Spanish colonial architecture have been preserved as a national monument. The third capital, Guatemala City, was founded in 1776, after Antigua was abandoned.
Guatemala gained independence from Spain on September 15, 1821; it briefly became part of the Mexican Empire and then for a period belonged to a federation called the United Provinces of Central America. From the mid-19th century until the mid-1980s, the country passed through a series of dictatorships, insurgencies (particularly beginning in the 1960s), coups, and stretches of military rule with only occasional periods of representative government.
The president and vice president are directly elected through universal suffrage and limited to one term. A vice president can run for president after 4 years out of office. Supreme Court justices are elected by the Congress from a list submitted by the bar association, law school deans, a university rector, and appellate judges. The Supreme Court and local courts handle civil and criminal cases. There also is a Constitutional Court.
Guatemala has 22 administrative subdivisions (departments) administered by governors appointed by the president. Guatemala City and 330 other municipalities are governed by popularly elected mayors or councils.
The Arzu administration also began a series of actions to boost the economy, including a reform of the tax system and privatization of the electricity and telecommunication sectors. President Arzu strongly and publicly condemned human rights abuses. Positive political developments and the demobilization of 200,000 members of the Civilian Defense Patrols were major factors in the positive change. In contrast to past years, there was a marked decline in new cases of human rights abuse, but problems remain in some areas. Common crime, aggravated by a legacy of violence and vigilante justice, presents a serious challenge to the government. Impunity remains a major problem, primarily because democratic institutions, including those responsible for the administration of justice, have developed only a limited capacity to cope with this legacy. Although making some progress, the government has stated it will require 4 more years (to the year 2004) to meet the target of increasing its tax burden (currently at 10% of GDP, lowest in the hemisphere) to 12% of GDP. Fifty proposed constitutional amendments meant to institutionalize the peace process or otherwise make Guatemala a fairer and more open society were rejected in a May 1999 plebiscite, with voting following ethnic lines.
President Alfonso Portillo began his 4-year term of office on January 14, 2000. Portillo, who was elected to Congress as a member of the Christian Democratic Party in 1993, has only been a member of the Guatemalan Republican Front (FRG) since 1995. The FRG has diverse factions, unified primarily by populism. FRG founder Efrain Rios Montt serves as the President of Congress. With the continuing development of democracy and participation in Guatemala, President Portillo has shown more deference to Congress than have previous presidents. Under the Guatemalan Constitution of 1985, passage of many kinds of legislation requires a two-thirds vote. Passage of such legislation is not possible with FRG votes alone.
Guatemala participates in several regional groups, particularly those related to the environment and trade. For example, President Clinton and the Central American presidents signed the CONCAUSA (Conjunto Centroamerica-USA) agreement at the Summit of the Americas in December 1994. CONCAUSA is a cooperative plan of action to promote clean, efficient energy use; conserve the region's biodiversity; strengthen legal and institutional frameworks and compliance mechanisms; and improve and harmonize environmental protection standards.
Guatemala long laid claim to Belize; the territorial dispute caused problems with the United Kingdom and later with Belize following its 1981 independence from the U.K. Relations have had their ups and downs but are strained at present. In 1986, Guatemala and the U.K. re-established commercial and consular relations; in 1987, they re-established full diplomatic relations. In December 1989, Guatemala sponsored Belize for permanent observer status in the Organization of American States (OAS). In September 1991, Guatemala recognized Belize's independence and established diplomatic ties, while acknowledging that the boundaries remained in dispute. Although Belize has recognized Guatemalan diplomatic representation at the ambassadorial level for several years, the Guatemalan Government did not accredit the first ambassador from Belize until December 1996. In early 2000, the Guatemalan Foreign Ministry proposed a border settlement that would transfer more than half of Belize's territory to Guatemala.
While Belize continues to be a difficult domestic political issue in Guatemala, the two governments have quietly maintained constructive relations. The Portillo administration has indicated its intent to resolve the dispute with Belize, making it the number one priority now that the final peace accord has been signed. In anticipation of an effort to bring the border dispute to an end, in early 1996, the Guatemalan Congress ratified two long-pending international agreements governing frontier issues and maritime rights.
Supporting the institutionalization of democracy and implementation of the peace accords;
Encouraging respect for human rights and the rule of law;
Supporting broad-based economic growth and sustainable development and maintaining mutually beneficial trade and commercial relations;
Cooperating to combat narcotics trafficking; and
Supporting Central American integration.
The United States, as a member of "the Friends of Guatemala," along with Colombia, Mexico, Spain, Norway, and Venezuela, played an important role in the UN-moderated Peace Accords, providing public and behind-the-scenes support. The U.S. strongly supports the six substantive and three procedural accords, which, along with the signing of the December 29, 1996 final accord, form the blueprint for profound political, economic, and social change.
In Costa Rica in May 1997 and in Guatemala in 1999, President Clinton met with President Arzu and other Central American presidents, the President of the Dominican Republic, and the Prime Minister of Belize to celebrate the remarkable democratic transformation in the region and reaffirm support for strengthening democracy; good governance; and promoting prosperity through economic integration, free trade, and investment. The leaders also expressed their commitment to the continued development of just and equitable societies and responsible environmental policies as integral elements of sustainable development.
Although almost all of the 180,000 U.S. tourists who visit Guatemala annually do so without incident, in recent years, the number of violent crime reported by U.S. citizens has steadily increased. In 1997, 46 U.S. citizens reported to the U.S. Embassy that they were victims of violent crime. In 1998, the number climbed to 52 and in 1999 to 79. Increases in the number of Americans reported as victims of violent crime may be the result of any combination of factors: increased numbers of Americans traveling to Guatemala; increased accuracy in the embassy's reporting of crime; more Americans traveling to higher risk areas of Guatemala; or more crime.
Guatemala-Central American Program (USAID/G-CAP) plays a key role in implementing priority U.S. foreign policy objectives in Guatemala. USAID's program seeks to aid the financial stability and long-term growth of Guatemala, working primarily with the socially and economically disadvantaged persons living in poverty, with special emphasis on the rural indigenous poor whose lives have been most seriously affected by the internal civil conflict. In addition to low incomes, these populations have limited economic opportunities for economic advancement, lack access to social services, and have limited access to, or influence over, the policymaking processes.
Providing $60-$70 million in annual assistance, USAID/Guatemala is working to address limitations to Guatemalan development pursuing seven objectives. These are:
Support the implementation of the 1996 Peace Accords;
Provide agricultural recovery assistance to victims of Hurricane Mitch and help Guatemala prepare for future disasters;
Aid in the improvement of the legal system and assist citizens in its use;
Increase educational access and quality for all Guatemalans;
Improve the health of Guatemalan women, children, and rural families; and,
Increase the earning capacity of poor rural families; and
Expand natural resources management and conservation of biodiversity.
USAID/Guatemala's largest program is the support of the peace accords. The Guatemalan Peace Accords are more than a formal ending to 36 years of armed conflict. The accords require major investments in health, education, and other basic services to reach the rural indigenous poor and require the full participation of the indigenous people in local and national decisionmaking. In addition, the accords call for a profound restructuring of the state, affecting some of its most fundamental institutions--the military, the national police and the system of justice--in order to end impunity and confirm the rule of law. They also require basic changes in tax collection and expenditure and improved financial management.
In 1998, Hurricane Mitch caused human and property damage on a massive scale. In Guatemala vast economic and social damage diverted resources away from the implementation of the Peace Accords and development priorities. It is estimated that 1999 exports dropped $365 million, which translates into the loss of jobs for 35,000 people. USAID/Guatemala's Special Mitch Objective is helping agricultural productivity recover, improving disease control and community sanitation, and supporting national and community level disaster preparedness.
USAID's regional Central American Program is also based in Guatemala. Providing between $15-$20 million in annual assistance, USAID's regional program in coordination with the U.S. embassies in the region and bilateral USAID Missions in Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Panama supports four key objectives. These are:
Promotion of free trade;
Expansion of Central American natural resources management and conservation;
Advancement of regional HIV/AIDS services and information; and
Post-Mitch assistance for Central America in preparing for future weather-related disasters.
The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala is located at Avenida la Reforma 7-01, Zone 10, Guatemala City (tel. [502] 331-1541); fax [502] 331-8885)

St Johnstone midfielder Kevin Moon is hoping he can agree a new contract to secure his future with the SPL club.
Moon's present deal is due to expire after he was handed a short-term contract by former manager Derek McInnes following an injury-hit time at McDiarmid Park.
The 24-year-old missed most of last season with a knee injury, but has impressed this term and is keen to stay beyond the New Year.
McInnes' successor Steve Lomas revealed last month that he wants to hang on to Moon and the player is optimistic an agreement can be reached.
"I'm hoping to get the contract sorted because it's up in a couple of weeks," Moon told the Perthshire Advertiser.
"The manager has been great and he's really helping me. I believe he can make me a better player. So hopefully we can get it all sorted."

Do you feel like setting a new Personal Record along the edge of a continent? The Myrtle Beach Marathon has a fast, flat ocean course famous for new PR's and qualifying times for races like the Boston Marathon. Not only is this event a great idea for you personally, but the Myrtle Beach Marathon started as a way for runners to give back! In fact, the Myrtle Beach Marathon emerged from five Myrtle Beach residents' participation in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's "Team in Training" (TNT) program. In becoming a Marathon weekend, more events were added as was support for additional charities. Today, each Marathon event supports one or more charities including the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of South Carolina (since its first event in 1998), the Coastal South Carolina Chapter of the American Red Cross, and Horry County Schools.
Charities directly benefit in two ways. The marathon contributes a portion of the event registration fee to each supported charity. In addition, each charity raises funds through direct contributions as well as individuals who obtain financial support for participating in marathon events. The charities may also use other fundraising activities such as silent auctions. The Myrtle Beach Marathon is proud to have helped these organizations raise more than $3 million over the last 17 years.
After being a part of this event, you will understand why thousands of people declare that the Myrtle Beach Marathon is so much more than a marathon. Throughout this site you will get a taste of the wild celebrations that are planned for all of our competitors, both locals and visitors. By making the decision to take part in this unforgettable weekend, you will undoubtedly walk away a changed person. Let's begin with a quick description of this world-renowned destination:
• Sixty miles of wide, sandy beaches known as the Grand Strand
• Over 1700 dining locations with tons of family-friendly choices
• Over 100 of the best golf courses in the South

There are no two men who have identical chances of success to lose weight. Someone has a crazy metabolism and therefore he has no problem with excess fat, others must find the motivation to start moving and exercising in order to lose weight and preserve health. However, the differences become more drastic if we take into account gender.
Is weight loss really different in women than in men? The answer is yes, and here's why:
• Men have muscles. Women have fat.
Men can build muscle tissue easily, thanks to testosterone and general preferences for exercises and physical activities. This accelerates metabolism of men because muscles consume calories and produce more energy, much more effectively than is the case in women. Women, on the other hand, are naturally prone to fat accumulation.
• Men less swell, have less fat and less water retention.
Water retention is a problem for all women. Surprisingly, men do not have this problem. Their bodies store less fat than the bodies of women, and they do not have to worry about bloated stomach and swollen joints and feet.
• Men talk less, but put more effort.
Men seem to be naturally oriented to achieving goals. They talk less than women,but put more effort. Men are more determined than women to go to the gym and exercise. However, the fact that women are constantly talking about weight loss and diet suggests that their motivation is higher and easier to be maintained, because the whole thing about losing weight becomes a part of their everyday life.
Why do men lose weight easier than women?
Men lose weight easier than women, according to a study of the British organization for weight loss 'Slimming World', conducted on 1.2 million people. For 12 weeks men have lost almost twice as much weight than women.
Here are explanations for why men lose weight faster and easier than women:
- Unlike women, men are more focused on weight loss and do not have a problem with emotional overeating.
- Men can easier resist temptations, while women harder resist cakes. Experts say that the reason for better control and easier weight loss in men lies in genetics and fast metabolism.
- Combination of genetics, emotions, education, environment and culture, influences diet, and therefore the weight loss.
- Brain of man is focused on solving the problem, and once he finds a solution for losing weight, he follows it.
According to researches, it is different with women. They require support and their emotions easily move them from the right path. Women also can harder resist the sweet temptations.
Regardless of the male-female characteristics, it is important to adapt the diet to your own body and to persist in it.
Principles of weight loss are the same for men and women
Although men have some advantages over women, weight loss strategies remain the same for both men and women. Be careful what you eat, drink plenty of water, exercise - whether you are male or female.

Mickeys is good fast food at good prices. My go to item is the chicken pita. But, I haven't had a bad meal from here. Soups are excellent. Salads are huge. Even the soft serve ice cream is good!
If your life is led by calories, might not be a good idea. If your life is to enjoy worldly treasures in moderation, this is one of them! Gyro was delicious!!!
This place is worth the drive from the hotel in Alsip! It's worth the drive from my home in Sterling Il! The food is great and no matter what you get off the menu, you will not be disappointed! It's all good! Make sure you at least try the Spanikopita at least one time that you visit! It's the best....
A place like this seems to be aimed at selling you unhealthy fat making food. So much for bringing in a newspaper, relaxing, and having a non fat making light meal.
Long time customer (20+ years). Gyros, burgers, chicken, ribs, you name it. Never had a bad meal. Staff is very courteous. Drive-up window always busy. Quiet indoor seating - 1 TV, never too loud. Half price ribs and chicken on Monday & Tuesday. Try it, you'll like it!
Great food but I got stiff joints after eating there - consistently. My doctor said it was the preservative MSG that has that effect on people - too bad, the food was good:(

Antiques & Garden Fair set for this weekend
Spring has finally sprung for Chicago Botanic Garden. Its seasonal kick-off event, the 14th Annual Antiques & Garden Fair, takes place Friday through Sunday, with a preview evening scheduled for Thursday.
Patrons can expect plenty of new additions to the anticipated weekend at one of the country's most renowned botanical landscapes.
As in the past, Thursday's preview evening serves as a special fundraiser to jump start the fair. This year, a new twist promises to keep both women and men entertained.
"For the preview evening, we're introducing our brand new men's lounge. We don't want people to think this is only a girls' night out kind of event," said Jodi Zombolo, the director of visitor events and programs. "Bring your man. He might like to shop, but if not, while you're still shopping, he can go to this area."
The men's lounge will be anything but a place to stash away the guys. Chicago's Isle of Man America plans to take the reigns. The men's vintage clothing store will incorporate its trademark atmosphere, equipped with a bar and items for sale.
"These guys evoke the American heritage, custom-built kind of thing," Zombolo said. "They're building this 40-by-40 tent with a bar that will surround a vintage motorcycle. Everything you see in the lounge will be available for purchase."
But don't let the name fool you. Zombolo predicts this will be the place to be Thursday night.
"It's going to be a happening place! And even though it's called the men's lounge, I'm sure you're going to find a lot of women in there, too."
The Antiques and Garden Fair has built a reputation for featuring more than a hundred vendors as well as prestigious lectures. While this year is no different, new faces will join this celebration of artistic gardening.
"As far as the actual fair goes, we have a couple of new vendors we're extremely excited about," Zombolo said. "One of them is a well-known photographer, Paul Lange. He used to be a prominent fashion photographer, and now concentrates on gardens and nature. He'll be showcasing what he refers to as his "Big Blooms," which are really great big prints of gorgeous flowers."
Besides the biological aspect of gardening, a great emphasis is placed on the accompanying furniture and decorative items.
"We're also doing our best this year to incorporate some outdoor garden furniture," Zombolo said. "So we have another new vendor, Janus et Cie, who will display beautiful, high-end furniture."
If past years are any indicators, the crowds should be plentiful. Zombolo points to the community support of the beloved Botanic Garden.
"For the preview evening, we average around 900 guests and as high as 10,000 people over the next 3 days. Everyone realizes how much this supports the garden and its programs."
Ticket prices vary based on the day and number of visits. Proceeds from Thursday's preview evening go toward preserving the land and its offerings.
"If you're going to come to the preview evening, that ticket starts at a $250 level," Zombolo said. "With that price, you get a full pass for the weekend. The money raised here benefits the garden's conservation, education and research programs."
Those who wish to skip the opening event will have other options throughout the fair.
"If you're a garden member, you can purchase your ticket in advance for $12 or $15 on the day of the event," Zombolo said. "For non-members, it's $15 in advance and $18 at the door. Each of those prices allow you to come in one day. If you're interested in coming to all three days, it's $20 for both members and non-members."
The Antiques & Garden Fair will run from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Friday, April 11, through Sunday, April 13.
The preview evening will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. Thursday, April 10.

MISSION: The Fresno Junior Hockey Club, (FJHC), is a non-profit organization formed over thirty years ago in the interest of providing youth of the community with the opportunity to play competitive ice hockey. Our players come from all over the Central Valley, the Central Coast and the Bay Area. We compete in the NorCal division of USA Hockey; the official amateur hockey association of the U.S.A., which includes all levels from beginners to the U.S. Olympic team. Gateway Ice Center is the home rink to the FJHC, and all of their home games are played there. The FJHC is governed by an elected board of volunteer directors who have enlisted certified, trained coaches from among the ranks of former Fresno Falcons, college and NHL players. Our goal is to help players progress as far as their level of dedication will allow. New players begin with the Learn-To-Play program to develop fundamental skating, stick handling, passing and shooting skills. Once players have achieved a minimum level of abilities, they can move into our In-House program, which includes weekly practices and games. Dedicated players who seek a higher level of competition can then move into our Travel program, which allows players to compete in regular season games throughout northern California. Teams that finish among the top 2 in each A and B division of NorCal, from the Squirts, age 10 and under, through Midgets, age 16-18, are then eligible to compete in the California Amateur Hockey Associations (CAHA) State Championships. We have also competed at the Midget age group in the South West Youth Hockey League, which competed in tournaments throughout the western United States. |

AA in General Education
As a Christian liberal arts college, Emmanuel provides educational opportunities that go beyond job training in marketable skills for employment. Studying liberal arts is not synonymous with career preparation. The general education program is designed to help the person develop as a holistic individual in society. In that a liberal arts education seeks to help the student make a life rather than merely a living, and that career goals often change, the general education program is highly valuable for career preparation, and for further work toward a baccalaureate degree.

Karnataka Forest Industries Corporation (KSFIC) is contemplating opening a medicinal plant extraction centre in North Karnataka through private partnership.
"We are mulling establishing a medicinal plant extraction centre in Dharwad, Dandeli or Belgaum in North Karnataka and have been talking to some medicinal and aromatic plant importers in this regard", KSFIC Managing Director A K Verma told PTI.
KSFIC, now engaged in the manufacture of wood based products like flush doors, block boards, furniture and export of sandalwood chips, was making efforts to diversify into cultivation of medicinal plants and had submitted a Rs 1 crore proposal to National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB) in this regard, he said.
"We are just awaiting NMPB's nod for the purpose", he said.
Meanwhile, as part of research and development efforts, KSFIC has already grown medicinal plants like "Kal Megh" (Andrographis Paniculata) used in manufacture of anti-obesity and diabetes medicines in Sirsi on two hectares of land as a pilot project.
KSFIC, after discussions with many end users had negotiated and finalised an MoU with Bangalore-based M/S Natural Remedies for technical support and ready market for the product (Kal Megh), Mr. Verma said.
"Once the pilot project is successful, we plan to grow other perennial medicinal plants like Punarnava (Boerhavia Diffura), Madhunashini (Gymnema Sylvestre), Vaividang (embellia ribes), Kevanalli (phyllanthus neruri), Makoy (Solanum Nigrum) and Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera)", he said.
This would be followed by cultivation of Dashamoola (ten rooted) plants including sandalwood, bael, mapia species, ashoka, colius species in Sirsi", he said.
"We have chosen Sirsi for cultivation of medicinal plants to begin with because the region is known for its medicinal plants and herbs and there are number of local ayurvedic practitioners in the region who have tremendous knowledge about such plants which can prove useful to us", Mr. Verma said.
"We wish to replicate medicinal plant project in Shimoga, Mangalore, Bangalore, Mysore, Dandeli and Bidar, he said.
KSFIC has also signed an MoU with Ayur Park Healthcare Ltd, Bangalore, an Ayush industry cluster under the Central government scheme for development of "Ayush Clusters" for conservation and development of medicinal plants, Mr. Verma said.
Ayur Park is a cluster of manufacturers of Indian system of medicine and have been procuring raw materials in the form of medicinal plants from various sources, a very significant portion of which is from forest area.

.- During his opening remarks for the Fall Assembly of the Bishops Conference of Spain, Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco, Archbishop of Madrid and President of the Bishops Conference, said the Church would not cease to make known the social consequences of the Gospel, despite pressure from the dominant secularism in country.
During his extensive speech on the principal moral challenges facing Spanish society, Cardinal Rouco emphasized that, "unceasingly announcing the eternal love of God for each person, the Church offers to humanity the greatest of service."
"Some will say," he went on, "that this is an absolutely useless and stale task. There will even be some Catholics who consider references to God and to eternal life as secondary for existence in this world."
Nevertheless, explained the Cardinal, "not only the experience of believers, but also mere historical experience, proves to us today that the old agnostic and atheistic ideologies are absolutely incapable of fulfilling what they promise; moreover, the history of the 20th century has given us evidence their true consequences. They promised freedom, and they brought oppression; they promised life and they brought death; they promised peace and they brought the bloodiest wars in history."
Cardinal Rouco pointed out that unfortunately, "We continue to hear of proposals and programs which seek to exclude the voice of faith and ethics and which categorize religion and the Church as inadequate and unfriendly to man and his future. People need to open their eyes to the lessons of history."
"The Church will continue to firmly and respectfully propose the message entrusted to her. It is the message of the God who is love, Creator and Savior of mankind," he continued.
"Our pastoral plan is a program of hope. The plan of holiness, of union with God, is the plan of the future."
Cardinal Rouco mentioned the principal challenged faced by Spanish society, including issues related to the defense of human life, marriage and the family, homosexual unions, and religious education.
The Church, he concluded, "desires to contribute to fostering and nourishing sentiments of mutual comprehension, and wherever necessary, reconciliation among Spaniards."

TORONTO — Even in a loss on Sunday, Jon Lester showed why he's the rock of the Red Sox rotation.
Boston's starting pitching has been sketchier than expected in April, especially these last 10 days. The Red Sox have seen Felix Doubront fail to survive the third on two occasions. They've seen Clay Buchholz and John Lackey get knocked around twice each.
They even saw Lester leave in the fifth his last time out, a bevy of unearned runs costing him against the Yankees — the one start in his last 22 where he didn't complete five.
But Lester bounced back Sunday, finishing seven strong despite dropping a 7-1 decision to R.A. Dickey and the Blue Jays — a final score that belies how well the left-hander pitched.
Lester's consistency is exactly what the Red Sox need going forward. In his half-dozen starts in 2014, he's pitched into the seventh five times, and he's averaging just a shade under seven innings per game. His ERA is actually a hundredth of a run lower than it was through April last season, when he was 4-0. That means he and his 2-4 record is a case study in the deception of assigning wins and losses to an individual pitcher.
"I can't control wins, I can't control losses," Lester said. "I can only control what I do those five days and the preparation I have in between pitches. I'm going to keep chucking the ball and see what happens.
Sunday was a matter of a sagging offense and an opportunistic Blue Jays lineup. Toronto only managed five baserunners in seven innings off Lester, but four of them came around to score.
Brett Lawrie tagged Lester's worst pitch of the afternoon — a cutter that backed up over the middle — for a second-inning home run. Melky Cabrera went the other way with a fastball on the outer half for an RBI double in the third. Edwin Encarnacion lined a cutter down into the left-center gap for a double in the seventh, and Lawrie brought him home by somehow keeping a cutter directed toward his ankles fair down the left-field line for two more bases.
"They took probably four of five good swings against him today in 120 pitches thrown," manager John Farrell said. "Once again, he worked deep into the ballgame and gave us an opportunity to win."
Aside from the cutter he left down Yonge Street for Lawrie, Lester's signature pitch had good, late movement. It generated 10 swings-and-misses — his most on that one pitch in almost five years. He got 14 swinging strikes in all.
"He threw the ball well," catcher David Ross said. "He threw the ball really well."
Through April, Lester has taken on the ignominious distinction that haunted John Lackey in 2013: He's the guy the Red Sox don't score for.
Lester has thrown 40 2/3 innings and allowed 14 earned runs. While he's in the game, Boston has scored 11 runs.
"I can't control it," Lester said. "I don't get to hit. If I did, it would probably be worse."
(One surmises the 0-for-31 lifetime hitter is correct in that statement.)
"I know these guys are busting their butt," continued Lester. "Dickey threw the ball really well today, and sometimes you have to tip your hat to the other side."
Even Lester's final line — seven innings, five hits, four earned runs — didn't feel reflective of how he pitched.
"I feel like I threw the ball better than what four runs are up there," Lester said. "But that's baseball sometimes. I can deal with the mistakes. I just hate making good pitches that get rewarded for hits."
Not every Lester start needs to be a referendum on his impending free agency or the extension talks that are, for the time being, shelved. Sometimes he's going to pitch better than the line indicates, sometimes he's going to lose to another very good pitcher — one who himself won the Cy Young in 2012.
But just about all the time, Lester's going to do what he did Sunday and give the Red Sox a good chance to win.
"My innings have been good," he said. "That's something you can always hang your hat on. That's what I pride myself on is throwing innings, and I've been able to do that so far."

7 Stocks Rising on Unusual Volume
Today's Volume: 524,000
Average Volume: 174,511
Volume % Change: 439%
From a technical perspective, GEOY is ripping higher here right above its 50-day moving average of $30.99 with above-average volume. This move has solidly pushed shares of GEOY into breakout territory, since the stock has cleared some near-term overhead resistance that sits just above $34. This move has also pushed GEOY into new 52-week high territory, which is bullish technical price action.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in GEOY as long as it's trending above some past overhead resistance at $37.07 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above its three-month average action of 174,511 shares as bullish. If GEOY can maintain that trend, then this stock will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $39.25 to $42.31. Ligand Pharmaceuticals (LGND - Get Report) This company is focused on drug discovery & early-stage development of pharmaceuticals that address critical unmet medical needs or that are more effective or safer than existing therapies, more convenient to administer & are cost effective. This stock is trading up 5.7% at $20.60 in recent trading. Today's Volume: 234,000 Average Volume: 143,311 Volume % Change: 146% Shares of LGND are ripping higher today after the company said it has received a milestone payment of 620,000 shares of common stock in newly public partner Retrophin (RTRX). From a technical perspective, LGND is bouncing higher here right above some near-term support at $19.03 with above-average volume. This stock has been uptrending strongly for the last two months, with shares moving higher from its low of $14.75 to its recent high of $21.75. During that move, shares of LGND have been mostly making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move is quickly pushing LGND within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if LGND takes out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $21.50 to $21.75 with high volume.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I've only been taking this for a short time but I love the Thorne Research products and have no doubt about the quality of this. I do think having great bacteria and yeast in your gut is one of the most important thing for your immune system and also for your digestion which is the most important thing. If you can't digest your food, you can't assimilate the nutrients and you cannot be in peak health.

Volume 7, Issue 9 April 2014
There is an increased risk of tuberculosis, or reactivation of latent tuberculosis, during treatment with tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors. Tuberculosis in patients receiving TNF-alpha inhibitors can be life-threatening, and deaths from tuberculosis have occurred in these patients. TNF-alpha inhibitors are therefore contraindicated in patients with active tuberculosis or other severe infections. Screen patients for active and latent tuberculosis before starting treatment with a TNF-alpha inhibitor. Monitor them closely for infectious diseases including tuberculosis before, during, and after treatment
TNF-alpha inhibitors are a class of biological medicines that block the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha. The TNF-alpha inhibitors authorised in the UK are adalimumab, certolizumab, etanercept, golimumab, and infliximab. TNF-alpha inhibitors are authorised for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitits, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis.
Increased risk of tuberculosis
TNF-alpha plays an important role in inflammatory processes, and is involved in autoimmune diseases, and immune responses to infection. TNF-alpha inhibition increases susceptibility to infectious diseases, including tuberculosis, and increases the risk of reactivation of latent tuberculosis. An increased risk of tuberculosis in patients treated with TNF-alpha inhibitors has been confirmed in large observational studies. Reports of tuberculosis, including fatalities, in patients treated with TNF-alpha inhibitors continue to be received via the Yellow Card Scheme. In many cases extrapulmonary tuberculosis, presenting as either local or disseminated disease has been reported. In one recent case, a patient receiving a TNF-alpha inhibitor died from tuberculosis that had not been diagnosed.
Patient alert card
Companies are required to produce a patient alert card for TNF-alpha inhibitors which healthcare professionals should give to patients (see example below). The alert card warns patients of the risk of infectious diseases, particularly tuberculosis. The card describes possible signs and symptoms of tuberculosis, and advises patients to inform their doctor if they have signs of an infection.
Advice for healthcare professionals:
Pretreatment screening
Diagnosis of tuberculosis
Active infection
Latent infection
Advice to give to patients
