Omg, my eyes nearly popped out! Well done, Telltale: I know what I am going to dream about this night - hrrr hrrr hrrr ;)))
His body, man his body!
Please don't think I'm a perv, but I'd love to see a Nerissa Pole Dance gif with sexy Bigby, instead. Who can do it? :)
It's obvious how it happened because of the trailer. Hope you're playing or played it. If I'm spoiling I am sorry... Dum shoots Bigby, also listening to Snow even if it means being silent is the best option.
I love how realistically accurate Snow's expression was to Bigby's shirtless hotness. I'll try to post a pic if it hasnt already been done.
What the hell are you talking? You're homophobic? If yes, than that's not good and I'd rather you go somewhere else to spread hate
I think guys should admire some guys body even if their not gay, I mean im I guy and I couldn't help but stare at Bigby the whole time shirtless.
That's nice but it'd be much preffered if you kept those comments to yourself people really might get upset about it....
Well I kinda suspected that when you had "THATS BAD" all caps I just don't know how some people might act you know... nothing against you I was half expecting it to be a joke anyways but I don't know how everyone would react lmao.
it's cool bro. i understood ur reply I meant to direct it to the one above ya.
anyway it was supposed to be a joke and nothing else, but yeah, not everyone takes it as a joke.
Jokes are supposed to be funny. You just called gay/bisexual men "bad". That's offensive and not in a funny way.
I guess I accept your apology, though I was the main party offended by it.
It wasn't very funny. There have been to many situations were trolls did something like that.
Yeah keep making the subject bigger from a joke that wasn't supposed to be made. Oh look I caused a disaster and now even after apologizing, the one I joked with isn't trying to let off. I mean seriously how about you get over it? Wasn't enough for you? Want me to bend over?
Now you can keep replying. I'm done.
Some homophobic jokes are hard to understand over the internet, m8.
I hate homophobes.
As a man, I'm offended and scandalized by the sexual objectification of men in video games. I plan to create an association and sensibilize people with a TV ad paid by public money.
Or not.
Now I know what women probably feel when they see a thread like this about a female character in the game, I ain't even mad, but it's kinda weird.
The thing is, I feel like women roll their eyes when they see a "____ is HAWT" kind of thread.
But us men, when the odd occasion like this comes along, don't know what to do.
Hell, I'm a male and I had a man crush on Bigby right from the beginning! So yeah, I don't find this thread weird at all. I know some people here wouldn't complain if we got a shirtless Snow White....
it would be funny if while u talk to Snow she keeps looking down and Bigby says, uhh Snow my eyes r up here, lol

While more and more people each day become aware of the dangerous world of human trafficking, most people in the U.S. still believe this is something that happens to foreign women, men, and children - not something that happens to their own. In this powerful true story, Theresa Flores shares how her life as an All-American, blue-eyed, blond-haired, 15-year-old teenager, who could have been your neighbor, was enslaved into the dangerous world of sex trafficking while living in an upper-middle class suburb of Detroit.
Her story peels the cover off of this horrific criminal activity and gives dedicated activists as well as casual bystanders a glimpse into the underbelly of trafficking. And it all happened while living at home without her parents ever knowing about it.
Involuntarily involved in a large underground criminal ring, Ms. Flores endured more as a child than most adults will ever face their entire lives. In this book, Ms. Flores discusses how she healed the wounds of sexual servitude and offers advice to parents and professionals on preventing this from occurring again, educating and presenting significant facts on human trafficking in modern day America.

"A good message does not make a good book"
My heart goes out to Theresa, and I think her story could have a very important message. Unfortunately, this message did not come across in the audio book. All I really perceived was a montage of horrific acts of violence against a young girl, ending with a list of people that could be blamed for what happened. I did not feel like there was a genuine explanation of how she survives today, or what the readers can actually DO. I'm all for being uncomfortable when reading about such a serious topic, but I would like for there to be a purpose in mind.
To be fair to Theresa, this was truly some of the worst narrating I have ever heard, and that may have contributed to how responded to the story. EVER SINGLE WORD that aggressors said was grotesquely emphasized , presumably to make sure we understood they were evil (They tricked a girl into white slavery. I think we could have figured that out on our own). In addition, the narrator tried to make her voice deep and gruff for every male character and breathless and delicate for every female. The result was actually pretty funny, but this is not a funny story. Raudman, or whoever instructed her, did this story a great disservice.
To summarize: I wish I never would have listened to this audiobook. I am deeply interested in the subject, but this book is NOT the place to turn if you want to learn about the issue of modern slavery. However, I cannot be sure if this is due to Theresa's storytelling or the narrator's ridiculous choices. Either way, "Slave" by Mende Nazer (hard copy; I haven't listened to the audiobook) would be an infinitely better choice.
"Eye opening"
I really liked this book and I think it opened my eyes the way a kid could be blackmailed into prostitution. I would recommend the book.
"There is somthing missing"
There is something missing in this story I think the writer wasn't honest completely. There are lots of holes in this story. Parents are blind and deaf! They don't even question the girl when the police bring her home thorn and bloody gang raped by two dozen men. In reality she should be dead after that experience or be in hospital, but instead she just takes a bath!!!!
"Just ok.."
Probably wont share this one. A very very sad but puzzling story. Not my favorite.
"Sad Story with Very Bad Narration"
No, due to the horrible experiences described therein.
The fact that Theresa let the abuse continue for so long.
She was overly-dramatic which made a lot of her narration hard to understand and became frustrating and tiring. The over-dramatization also diminished the point of the book. She was not a good choice to narrate this book.
Theresa kept blaming everyone but herself for her abuse, and kept stating that she was only a child at the time. I don't consider 15 and 16 years of age that of a child.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

I have been reviewing the single tier brewing system designs on this site, as well as anything else I can find on the web. I think I have settled on a HERMS setup and had a few questions to make sure I understand this properly. The HLT has a copper coil inside that is used for recirculating liquid from the mash tun through hot water during the mashing phase. The liquid travels out of the mash tun (false bottom), to the HLT's copper coil, then back to the mash tun after being heated and is deposited at the top of the mash tun for the duration of your mashing stage? The wort is then pumped from the mash tun to the brew kettle after the mashing period is finished, and the heated water from the HLT is used as sparge water for fly sparging? The sparge runnings are gradually transferred to the brew kettle at a specified rate. Do I have the process right? A couple benefits of this configuration are the ability to run 2 burners instead of 3, and potentially being able to control the mash temps more precisely? I have 3 sanke kegs that I plan to use, and I want to have a Brutus 10 like stand with the hinges that allow the kegs to be easily tilted for cleaning. I assume to get the maximum benefit from a HERMS configuration, you will need temp probes to control the water temp in the HLT? I am looking to have a reasonable amount of automation in the way of burner flame levels and fluid temp control. I even saw a couple setups that could be controlled using a web browser?! Any advice or input is greatly appreciated. I've seen some really nice setups on here and would like to get one of my own.
You understand the process just fine. I don't know about the "specified rate" comment when talking about transferring sparge to kettle. I just open the valves and let'er run. I don't know anything about the automated control of fire other than the fact that there are electrically controlled solenoid valves that people use to do it. It's essentially the flame quivalent of a solid state relay that electric brewers use. I think "beertroller" is the thing you might be thinking of when you mention the web page based control.
BCS is the web based control... is it kick arse. This the only control box on my rig. Distributes power, 6 PIDs (inside the BCS) and it is wireless (see the antenna) 4 temp. inputs, 6 outputs, 10 SSRs in this control box alone. 12 x 12 x 6 inches
willynilly, Do you have an electric stand or LP?
What do you gain by not continuously recirculating? I mean, you already have to control the HLT temp, so why add a temp. control to the pump? Isnt this just adding switches? I have never seen a HERMS that cycled the pump on and off... I am just missing what you gain.
With HERMS you could actually leave the heat on all the time in the exchanger and then just kick the pump of and on instead of leaving the pump on all the time and kicking the heat off and on.

Hi. My name is Chi-Anna and I was the mom of 4 adorable babies. However, even though I can't count, I did notice 6 babies in with me! It seems that when I wasn't looking the caring people at SaveABunny slipped in two extra babies to help ease the "workload" of my "sister wife" Casey Moon.
Casey Moon (now adopted) and I both originally came from the same household along with a boy bunny. We were all surrendered to the city shelter in San Francisco. We both gave birth before we could be spayed and I had 4 babies, while Casey Moon had 10!
Anyway, I loved ALL "my" babies. I still am protective of them and a bit grouchy if you come to close to see them.
I am now spayed and ready to be adopted---maybe as a companion to your neutered boy boy or along with one of my kids. We are still very close. I am living with Slipper, Sneakers and Sandals.
As can be the case with lop-eared bunnies, I have an ongoing issue with one of my ears and my ears will need to be cleaned weekly. I'll be sure to complain about it too!
No one said I was a pushover...you are going to have to win my love. Are you up for the challenge?

Louisiana police chief investigated in bribery probe found dead of gunshot wound
[Broussard, LA]
(BROUSSARD, La.) -- A police chief being investigated for allegedly accepting bribes died after shooting himself in a local cemetery, authorities said.
Broussard Police Chief Irvin Flugence was found mortally wounded inside a patrol car in the graveyard at about 4 a.m. Saturday and later died at an area hospital.
The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office would only say that Flugence was shot and there was no indication of foul play. Lawmen told PoliceOne.com that they have yet to rule whether the shooting was an accident or suicide.
Published reports stated that Flugence had been under investigation for allegedly mishandling DWI cases and taking bribes to reduce the charges. No charges had been filed against the chief.

Animal prints are still very much in and the 'Osaka Zoo' release by PUMA shows that it's outliving the hype. The 'Osaka Zoo' collection pack features two pairs of kicks and was a joint collection with PUMA and Takumi.

These hi-tops offer the classic PUMA look with some fresh animal print touches that make the kicks pop. These dope kicks will be released as a package for $250 on October 5th of this year.

This meets all my criteria for fantastic summer dinner party fare or as a first course: quick, easy and spectacular flavor. I use whole small shrimp; also I add raw pepitas to give it more crunch.
This was a great recipe, I didn't have any cilantro so I used parsley instead, also added grape tomatoes and craisins. I also roasted the red peppers for like 7 mins before adding it. I didn't use any jalapeno pepper but I added "crushed red pepper" when grilling the shrimp. It came out delicious, my wife saved it to pack for lunch.
This was delicious! Grilled the shrimp with oil, salt and pepper. Didnt' have a jalapeno pepper so I used 1/3 of a habenero. I served with homemade pita chips. I would definitely make this again!

Common brittlestar bed (Credit Paul Naylor)
Mud is particularly important habitat for a variety of marine species, including polychaete worms and brittlestars that in turn support the marine food web.
The mud found here supports a wealth of marine life.
North-West of Jones Bank is located 165km west of Land's End and supports important habitats, such as subtidal mud, which is indicative of these stable offshore areas where fine particles are able to settle.
This area is known to be an important foraging ground for seabirds during winter. Diving birds in particular will migrate to the sea during winter, including internationally important Great northern divers that move offshore from August until the early spring when they move back to their largely Icelandic breeding grounds.
This recommended Marine Conservation Zone is under consideration for the second tranche of MCZs.
Defra have indicated that this site is now under consideration for tranche two and will potentially be included in the formal consultation at the beginning of 2015. Defra will now working to verify the evidence base for this site and will be looking to engage with stakeholders on both a local and national level to refine information about the site.
If designated, this site would protect the largest area of subtidal mud in any marine protected area. The habitats found within this site provide important nursery and spawning habitats for fish and potentially important habitat for seabirds. This site was also identified by Natural England and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee as being at high risk of damage and degradation due to pressures on the vulnerable habitats found within the site.
We need you to help ensure that this site is designated next year. Become a Friend of this site to stay up-to-date with The Wildlife Trusts' campaign to see how you can help.

HELENA — Montanans can expect another high-profile U.S. Senate race next year, but, at this point, the 2014 contest for the seat of retiring U.S. Sen. Max Baucus is still missing something: A high-profile candidate.
The lack of big names in the race, however, is likely to change soon.
Montana's only congressman, Republican U.S. Rep. Steve Daines, is all but certain to run, state Republicans say, and would be considered by most to be the front-runner once he declares his candidacy.
Daines, 51, has been steadily raising campaign funds and will file his next funding report Oct. 15. Political insiders speculate that he'll declare his intentions sometime after the report is filed.
Daines won't be without competition from people who also can claim some statewide name recognition.
Democratic Lt. Gov. John Walsh, a former adjutant general of the Montana National Guard, has been eyeing the race and said last week he'll announce "soon" what he'll do. Most Democratic insiders believe he'll be a candidate.
"I'm seriously considering running for the U.S. Senate," he said in a statement.
John Bohlinger — a former Republican state legislator from Billings who served eight years as lieutenant governor with Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer — said he, too, is preparing to enter the race as Democrat.
"I think clearly that Daines will be the Republican nominee," Bohlinger said in an interview last week. "It's a question of who can beat Daines, and I believe I can beat Daines. …
"I believe it's important not only for Montana but for our country that we maintain a Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate. Because of my statewide name recognition, I think I can win in November (2014)."
The national battle for control of the U.S. Senate next year raises the profile of Montana's 2014 Senate contest, as Republicans see a golden opportunity to pick up a seat held by Democrat Baucus for 35 years.
It's one of a half-dozen Senate races nationwide where the outcome could decide whether Republicans wrest control of the U.S. Senate from Democrats, who currently have a 55-45 majority.
National political observers already are rating Montana as a possible Republican "pick-up," and if the race is a close contest, Montanans once again will see millions of dollars of campaign money pouring into the state.
Last year's Montana U.S. Senate contest between Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and former U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., saw nearly $20 million spent by the candidates themselves and another $20 million to $30 million by outside groups.
Tester won that race, helping Democrats unexpectedly expand their Senate majority, while Daines, a former software company executive from Bozeman, won the U.S. House seat vacated by Rehberg.
Baucus, a U.S. senator since 1979, shocked the Montana political world in April when he announced he would not run for re-election next year — despite already having raised $5 million in campaign funds. Baucus, 71, said he wanted to retire and return to Montana, where he and his wife, Melodee Hanes, are building a home in Bozeman.
When Baucus announced his retirement, two Republicans already had said they were running for his seat: Former state Sen. Corey Stapleton of Billings and state Rep. Champ Edmunds of Missoula.
Earlier this month, Stapleton switched gears and said he's running for the House seat held now by Daines, because he believed Daines would be running for the U.S. Senate.
Edmunds is still officially a candidate for the Baucus Senate seat, but said last week that he, too, fully expects Daines to run for the Senate, and that he'll be following Stapleton's path of switching over to run for the U.S. House seat.
"I'll move aside like I told (Daines) I would, and then he'd be the only Republican in the race," Edmunds said.
Democrats also have a candidate officially in the race, but he's hardly a household name: Wilsall rancher and attorney Dirk Adams, a political unknown who's making his first run for office.
Adams said last week he's been busy putting together a campaign team and speaking at county Democratic Central Committee dinners around Montana, where he sometimes has shared the stage with Bohlinger and Walsh.
Adams said he's been pitching himself as a moderate who wants to make the federal government run well and serve the people.
"Having a federal government that is sloppy and inefficient opens the door to the kinds of actions we've seen on (cutting) food stamps, defunding Obamacare," he said. "There are two solutions: Throw the baby out with the bathwater, which is the Daines' solution, or to fix it and make it work right.
"I'm the fix-it-and-make-it-work candidate."
Daines has steadfastly deflected questions about whether he's running for the U.S. Senate, saying he is considering it, but that he's busy doing his current job. Meanwhile, he had rolled up $561,000 in campaign funds as of June 30, the most recent reporting period.

Best Strength-Training Exercises for Women
How to Get Started With a Strength Workout

Strength-training exercises are a must for any workout program – they increase fitness, decrease body fat and offer important health benefits. Yet the treadmill or stationary bike remain a favorite for women. If you're finally ready for sleeker muscles and better health, here's how to get started...
Many women still think that lifting weights is just for muscle-bound gym rats. In fact, only 17% of women strength trains two or more times a week, according to a 2005-2006 survey by the National Center for Health Statistics.
That's unfortunate: On average, a woman over 25 years old who
do strength-training exercises loses about one-half pound of muscle each year, or roughly 5 pounds in a decade, research has found. That makes you feel weaker and look flabbier, and results in about a 3% decrease in resting metabolic rate (RMR). Over time, this slowing metabolism can lead to an increase in body fat.
But muscles don't have to grow weaker as you age. With appropriate training, they can actually grow and become stronger, helping you lead a more active, healthy lifestyle for many years to come.
Why Do Strength-Training Exercises?
Regular resistance exercise has many benefits, including:
Increased muscle fiber size and strength.
Resistance training causes various degrees of microtrauma, or minor damage, to muscle tissue. As you rest between exercise sessions, the muscles repair themselves, growing back slightly stronger than before. Those changes become more noticeable over time.
What you won't get are bulky "bodybuilder" muscles – many women's workout fear.
Genetic factors and hormones are largely responsible for muscular responses to resistance training. This is especially true for women, who typically are smaller in size, have less muscle tissue and produce lower testosterone levels than men.
Only a tiny percentage of women has the genetic potential to "bulk up" very much from a strength workout, even after months or years of training. You're more likely to develop a more firm, "toned" physique with a greater proportion of lean muscle to fat.
Increased tensile strength in tendons and ligaments.
This is another way in which your body adapts to the greater level of stress you're putting on it. The result is reduced risk of injury and better "functional fitness" (the ability to perform everyday activities).
Increased or preserved bone mineral density,
which may reduce the risk of osteoporosis. When postmenopausal women did moderate-intensity strength-training exercises three times a week for 24 weeks, they retained their current bone mineral density. Those who didn't exercise lost bone mass, according to a 2010 study in the
Journal of Aging Research.
Slight increase in resting metabolic rate,
meaning you burn more calories even after you're finished. Women's metabolic rates averaged 13% higher following a strength workout, and remained 4.2% higher 16 hours later, according to a 2000 study in the
International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism.
Improved body composition.
Among overweight women aged 25-44, most who did strength-training exercises regularly over a two-year period lost body fat, while most who didn't train gained body fat, according to a 2007 study in the
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Lifting weights just twice a week can prevent you from gaining intra-abdominal fat, the kind that constricts blood vessels, according to a 2006 study by the National Institutes of Health.
Get Started
Before you begin lifting weights, talk to your doctor about your strength workout plans – especially if you have a health condition that could make exercising difficult, painful or unsafe.
Then, keep these tips in mind:
If you've never done strength-training exercises before, schedule at least two sessions with a qualified personal trainer. (Some gyms offer them with a membership.) If you choose to attend group fitness classes, be sure to find an experienced instructor.
If you have some experience with exercise, consider following the instructions in a workout DVD, the American Council on Exercise's
workout library
or one of Lifescript's
step-by-step workout plans
As a general rule, don't work the same body part two days in a row. Your muscles need time to rebuild between workouts, and training too frequently reduces the benefits while increasing the risk of a strain or other injury.
If you do full-body workouts, leave at least 48 hours between strength-training sessions. You can exercise with greater frequency if you do a split routine, in which you work different parts or muscle groups in each workout - but you should still allow any particular muscle at least 48 hours of rest.
Warm up for at least 5-10 minutes before your strength workout to raise your body temperature, lubricate the joints and increase blood flow. This can involve light full-body cardio activity, such as walking briskly while swinging your arms.
The adage "no pain, no gain" is a myth. You may feel a little sore a day or two after your workout, due to what's called "delayed-onset muscle soreness." This is a sign that your body is still recovering from the exercise. But severe, sharp or lasting pain indicates that something is wrong. (For more information, read

Get Equipped
Many strength-training exercises use free weights (such as dumbbells) or weight machines. Here are pros and cons of each option:
Weight Machines
They're easier and safer to use.
Weight machines work on a fixed path, making it simpler to learn and execute the movement with correct form, even when fatigue sets in. This can be a big safety plus, especially if you're new to strength training.
They're less intimidating.
Instructions and illustrations are often posted on the equipment, so you know how to do the exercise and what muscles it's designed to work.
They save time.
Weight machines are usually set up in a circuit, so you can move from one exercise to the next quickly and easily. It's also simple to set the amount of weight you'll use.
They work one body part at a time.
Compared with free weights, certain machines can be more efficient at isolating a specific muscle or muscle group. This is especially important when you're undergoing rehab from an injury or want to strengthen a particular body part.
They're limited.
Many machines are designed for a single exercise, so you'll need to use multiple machines to get a
total-body workout.
Size matters.
If you're shorter or taller than average, certain equipment may not be as accommodating to your size needs. And when you use the equipment the first time, you may need to experiment to figure out the appropriate settings for your height.
They provide less range of motion.
The fixed movement makes them less effective at working stabilizer muscles and building functional strength.
Free weights
They're more functional.
Free weights allow you to work in different planes of motion, which more closely mimics movements you perform in your daily life. That can help you do everyday activities more efficiently, and may also improve your athletic performance.
They're versatile.
Free weights let you perform a variety of exercises targeting various muscle groups, so you get a full-body strength workout without much equipment.
They're convenient.
Free weights are inexpensive, portable and don't take up much space, which makes them great for at-home exercise. (Home exercisers can also substitute resistance bands or tubing, which stretch to approximate the resistance you get lifting free weights.)
Lack of support.
They don't provide the structure that machines do. So learning how to perform an exercise properly takes more time and effort, and often requires some personal instruction.
Risk of injury.
It's easier to get hurt if you're not using proper technique. As you get tired, you might be tempted to start swinging the weight and using momentum rather than muscle strength to lift it – and this risks your using other body parts improperly (such as using the back when performing a bicep curl).
They're difficult to isolate.
Free weights require precise technique when performing an exercise, which can make targeting a particular muscle difficult.
The best option is to use a combination of free weights and machine-based exercises, as well as some body-weight exercises (such as push-ups and pull-ups). Together, they can add variety to your program and result in greater training benefits.
Know Your Sets and Reps
A strength workout includes several variables:
(the number of times you lift and lower a weight in one exercise),
(the number of times you do that series of reps) and
(the amount of weight you lift).
You build strength by fatiguing your muscles, which means the last repetition you perform should be difficult to complete (And if you tried to do another, you wouldn't be able to with proper form).
For example, start by choosing a weight that you can lift 8 times.
As you build strength over successive sessions, you'll gradually be able to do more reps with that weight before failure.
When you reach the point where you can do 12 reps, you'll increase the resistance by 5%, then aim for 8 reps of the exercise using the new amount of weight.
These numbers will vary according to the type of strength-training exercises you're doing, as well as your fitness goals.
Here are suggestions for getting started, depending on what it is that you want to accomplish:
For general fitness, muscle toning and improved health:
Begin with lighter resistance and aim for 1-2 sets of 8-15 repetitions of each exercise, with rest periods of 30-90 seconds between sets. That means you'll do 8 dumbbell curls, rest, then do 8 again. Each time you do this, you'll build a little more strength, and eventually you'll be able to complete 15 curls using the same weight. The next time you work out, use the a 5% heavier dumbbell, and start at 8 repetitions again.
For increased muscular endurance:
Using somewhat lighter resistance, aim to complete 2-3 sets of 12-16 repetitions of each exercise, with minimal rest (30 seconds or less) between sets.
For increased strength:
Use heavier resistance and strive to complete 2-6 sets of 4-8 repetitions of each exercise with a longer rest period (2-5 minutes) between sets. Do this only after you have some training experience, and be extra-careful with heavier weights. If your form isn't right, you're at a greater risk of injury.
For larger muscles:
Use somewhat heavier resistance, complete 3-6 sets of 6-12 repetitions of each exercise, with a moderate (30-90 seconds) rest interval between sets.
Avoid Strength-Training Plateaus
If you've been doing strength-training exercises for six months, you may see fewer gains than you did in the beginning. Such "plateaus" are more likely to happen when you aren't updating your program frequently enough.
To keep building strength and muscle tone, remember these tips:
Increase the number of repetitions you complete.
For example, if you're currently completing 10 repetitions with proper form before moving on to the next heavier weight, increase that number to 12 and then 15. Once you can complete 15 reps with ease and proper form, increase the resistance by 5%. This "double progressive training protocol" is effective for strength development and helps reduce the risk of increasing the amount of weight before you're ready.
Change up your workouts.
Making even small changes to your strength workout can go a long way. Try altering the order of your exercises, or incorporate new pieces of equipment for the exercises you're already doing, such as using free weights instead of a machine. You can also replace some or all of the exercises you're doing with moves that work the same muscle groups. For example, instead of the chest press on a weight machine, switch to push-ups.
Get enough rest.
Recovery and proper nutrition are a huge part of building strength. Make sure you leave at least 48 hours between exercises for any particular body part. Your muscles actually grow in that recovery phase. And get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night to help your body produce hormones that promote muscle growth.
Keep your body fueled.
Proper nutrition is also critical to lean muscle development, and fueling before and after a workout helps maximize the benefits of strength-training exercises, research has found. Before your strength workout, a light snack with carbohydrates and protein in a 4:1 ratio has been shown to be most beneficial. Examples include low-fat yogurt and a banana, or low-fat string cheese with whole-grain crackers. Within 45 minutes after a workout, eat some carbs and protein in a 3:1 ratio – such as stir-fried chicken and vegetables over brown rice.

Round-robin DNS with different subnets
Round-robin DNS with different subnets

I recently encountered an interesting problem with Windows 2000 DNS that had me puzzled. I set up a round-robin DNS with three entries for the same host using three different IP addresses. I turned on the "Enable Round Robin" option at the DNS server, but when I attempted to use different machines to access the round-robin host name, each machine went to the same server. The "round robin" part of the DNS did not seem to be working.
After hours of troubleshooting this problem, I determined that if I modifed the host entries at the DNS server to all use IP addresses on the same subnet, the DNS server would suddenly start using round-robin DNS and send each machine to a different server!
What was happening was that because my test was using three workstations on the same network as one of the IP addresses of the host in the round-robin DNS, the DNS server was prioritizing the DNS lookup to use the closest IP address available instead of giving it the next one on the list (which is how round-robin DNS is supposed to work).
Microsoft has an article that explains "Network Prioritization" that can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/reskit/prjj_ipa_vitx.asp, but I found my solution to be much easier than what Microsoft recommends in the article, which includes registry changes to clients, etc.
In your DNS snap-in, right-click on your DNS server and choose "Properties." Go to the Advanced tab where you will find the option that turns round-robin DNS on and off. Look for a setting called "Enable Netmask Ordering" and uncheck that option. This will turn off the network prioritization feature of the DNS server and now round-robin DNS will work.

I covered them with a tarp I guess I needed more...Do i need to dig the tubers out ? Or just cut the frozen dead part off and put them in a warmer place? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Leave them be. Just tent cover with weighed down newspapers and they will be fine. Do the same with any annuals you've already set out. Ianna |

I cut off the frozen shoots,and from what I researched they may come back !!! I Will Never think that by putting a tarp on them will save them again. They are indoors till all threat of frost has passed in the containers Have a great week !!! |
They usually recover from frosts with good enough frost covers (a simple tent or a plastic dome helps). In anycase, it's not the stems that you should be concerned with but it's corms which should be protected with mulch. I have had mine out for over 3 weeks now with no problem. digging them out after they've started to produce roots interrupts their progress. In anycase, I'm sure your dahlias will recover. |
- Posted by kinglemuelswife 5b/6a (My Page) on Thu, May 1, 08 at 16:46
Hi! I planted my dahlias out early, too and (thankfully) covered them with light "tupperware" containers. They usually do a great job in fall even after a few hard frosts in my garden here, so I'm sure yours will recover as long as the corms weren't killed. Hope it works out! |

Morgageddon has been watching carefully. I've commented on several other threads about this as well, so it's not like I'm ignoring the issue. I even posted on the PBE thread asking for feedback
I'm just waiting for them to nerf her ult so that Morgana using hourglass cancels it. Because you know, there's no interaction if she throws herself in the middle of your team, sits in one place while invulnerable for only half the timer, and waits for 3 seconds while hoping people stay in range while tethered in the League of Mobility, so clearly that has to be fixed. This will create gameplay somehow, and hey, if they're taking away the only thing she had going for her during laning, they may as well totally dumpster her while they're at it.
Cordelia Gallo
OH OH OH, Morgageddon, this is the EXACT same problem live xerath has if you don't run HUGE amounts of ap runes/masteries and rush ap, you can't 1 hit caster minions without building tons of damage. Since Morg is really more of a sustained damage I think it'd be a good idea if you guys could bump up the flat damage a tiny bit at 5 to get that last 20-40 minion hp in some way. This is actually one of the smallest changes to PBE Xerath that I like, being able to 1 actually 1hit caster minions shaves what feels like minutes off the time that you're forced to be in lane, and have to be in danger, since by the time your Q/W is at lvl 5 laning phase is slowing down a bit, you can 1 hit the casters, he can 1 W Q them. No need to do the derp thing of having to last his the 3 minions before they get to tower, while dodging Zed Qs.

I hope robbing with an AR doesn't catch on, and this happened in the afternoon, and not in a seedy part of town. I believe this guy walked to the store, probably had the AR slung from his neck and hidden under his heavy coat. His ID is pretty well hidden with his gloves, mask, etc, not a lot of firm characteristics to go on. He's very nervous and obviously doesn't want to be taken from behind.
I'm not asking what you would or wouldn't do, those are always very broad questions. I post this wondering if we are going to eventually see more and more rifles used in robberies. With so much news about the "assault rifle", the AR has a definite edge on psychological intimidation. His weapon has a lot of advantages over my weapon in my pocket, or even my .40 cal Sig, nonetheless I'm outgunned.

I've been growing my Gloxinnia's for years and just this year, i had gotten the best results with about 10 buds ready to burst. Naturally, it was getting top heavy so I started to insert a stick to keep it upright...and without any warning, the main stem just snapped off. Never had this happen before...so I removed the tuber, which is still showing tiny new growth, and inserted the main stem into the pot, hoping that it would last long enough so i can enjoy the remaining 7 buds..3 of them are opened...don't know if it would succeed. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Booth - Your tuber if you pot it again - will give you new stem and new buds. Your snapped stem - you need to remove all buds, big lower leaves - and it will root easily and give you a new tuber in no time, probably a bud, but if not - you will get them next year. Sh-t happens. But you didn't lose the plant, after some rest the old tuber will send you another stem and you will enjoy your blossoms. Usually after the bloom is over, I let them grow for some time to accumulate energy - and then remove a tuber, wash it, store it in a baggie with vermiculite - and as soon as it sends a new grouth - I pot it again. To have 2 gloxinias is better than 1. Irina |

I find the directions for building a gravel path confusing, and I'm not sure it all pertains to NW soils since we seldom have frost heaving. My path is about 8' x 2' and is lightly used. I dug out the grass a few years ago, laid the bricks out flat, and filled it with pea gravel. The brick wasn't holding in the gravel or keeping out the soil from the beds, so I've turned them on their sides, which will give me 4" depth if I dig out the compacted clay. I've removed the pea gravel as I know I need to use crushed gravel to lock it into place. I want to dress it up a little by adding 4 or 5 stepping stones (flags probably) and fill in between the stones with crushed gravel. We bought some 1/4"- 10 washed gravel for the top layer. What is needed as a base layer? Do I need to lay landscape fabric? What depth do I need to dig out the soil? Can I just fill with gravel or sand, lay the stones, and fill in between the stones with more gravel? |

A paver pathway can be as simple as just laying down pavers or flagstones on the sod and cutting out the sod around them and removing it so they are flush. This can work just fine for a secondary, not heavily traveled path. If you want a more long-lasting, durable path that can take any sort of foot traffic, you may want to prep a bit more, including using a proper base and leveling carefully. Typically you want a compacted base material (gravel/crushed rock) of 4-6 inches and then a 1-2" layer of coarse sand. Lay your pavers on the sand, level and fill cracks with more sand - or if openly spaced, more crushed rock or pea gravel. I do recommend weed/landscape cloth as an underlayment for any hardscaping project but that's about its only valid use. I also recommend using rigid edging to define the pathway and adequately contain both the base, pavers and whatever surrounds them. |
- Posted by may_flowers 8 OR (My Page) on Sun, May 11, 14 at 14:28
Thank you, gardengal. I use the path to bring the lawn mower back and to go to the yard debris container. So it doesn't need to be extremely durable. I think I have to remove the sod though because the path floods and it will make a muddy mess of the pavers. The flower beds are sloped toward the path--we made mounded beds. I would love to lay pavers from that path to the front of the deck and avoid walking on the lawn. I know I can lay them down and cut around them and place them right in the lawn. But it's too much work at our age to carry rocks to the backyard. Maybe small broken pavers is the solution. I always pictured large flagstones.That might be a project for fall when we work on the lawn. Poor DH. He turns 70 this summer! I'm trying to get the yard work done quick! |

Pre planning stages, I cannot commit yet, I haven't asked my Boss Lady...
For Sting and any other lurkers, the San Ysidro Trials Area is about 15-20 minutes west on Hwy 550 from the town of Bernalillo, NM. Bernalillo has the usual lodging and "fine dining" one finds along the interstate--Super 8, Denny's (
), and lots of fast food. A little closer to SY is one of the Indian casino complexes, Santa Ana Star, smoke-infested but with cheap food. On the upscale side and nearby is the Hyatt Regency Tamaya.
I get a little nervous parking a trailer full of bikes anywhere in Bernalillo.
West of SY on 550 is the town of Cuba, with fewer savory motels and more worries about parking the trailer.
Up Highway 4 from Bernalillo is the town of Jemez Springs, with a few funky B & B places, but the drive is longer because of low speed limits and zealous law enforcement.
Camping on site at the trials area is dry--no power or water--but the club has recently been paying for porta-potties especially for two-day events. Club members routinely drive their behemoth rigs in and out with little hassle, but in bad weather getting a RV in and out of the site can be challenging because of the caliche mud on the road. Even in good weather it can be a bone-jarring ride but it's not very long.
The club's special use permit restricts us to trials motorcycles only, and you must have a spark arrestor.
I've learned to live with reduced expectations--I'm a Vikings fan.

Either of two species of the genus Lophophora in the cactus family, native to North America, almost exclusively to Mexico. The body of the peyote cactus is spineless, soft, usually blue-green, and only 3 in. (8 cm) wide and 2 in. (5 cm) tall. The more common species, mescal (L. williamsii), has pink to white flowers. L. diffusa, more primitive, has white to yellow flowers and a yellow-green body. Well known for its hallucinogenic effects (primarily due to the alkaloid mescaline), peyote figures prominently in old and recent religious rituals of certain American Indian peoples. The sale, use, or possession of dried mescal buttons (flowering heads) or live plants is prohibited by law in many places.

We bought a cabin in northern VT. We get water from a spring about 250 feet away. Some of the pipe runs above ground and it will begin to freeze in October/November when winter arrives. We want to put in a new pipe and insulate and/or have a heating cable inside the pipe, so we would be able to stop the freezing and go there through Christmas. We can get to all of the connections and we have done projects around the house and want to try to do this on our own. Can anyone suggest the best steps to take or products to use? Any help is appreciated, Thanks! |

Movie Blog: 'Rich Hill' Review
"God has to be busy with everyone else" — Those are the heartbreaking words said by one of the three boys whose lives filmmakers Tracy Droz Tragos and Andrew Droz Palermo follow in Rich Hill, a sobering yet vividly human documentary about poverty in small-town, Middle America. From the get-go, it's apparent that at least one of these boys has been called "white trash," but the film never treats them with scorn. Instead, cinematographer Droz Palermo captures their lives with incredible grace, so much so that it brings to mind the effervescent films of Terrence Malick. But as impressive as the camera work can be, the details in Rich Hill sting.
