Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
06 Oct 2011 12:33 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Israel, Palestine, Turkey
Rachel Shabi is a journalist and author of Not the Enemy: Israel's Jews from Arab Lands.
Once again, Palestinians are being punished for daring to exercise a choice.
It happened before in 2006, when they took part in what was deemed to be the wrong kind of democracy and picked the wrong (Hamas) government. That mistaken execution of free will caused the international community to close its funding tap - cutting Palestinian aid and salaries.
Now, there are penalties for taking another 'wrong' turn, despite repeated threats and warnings: US congress is blocking US $200 million intended for the Palestinian Authority (PA), which persisted with its UN statehood bid in the face of US disapproval. Few things typify international complicity in stalling Palestinian aspirations like this on/off money switch. The current cut in cash will affect health and social projects - but not,
Now, there are penalties for taking another 'wrong' turn, despite repeated threats and warnings: US congress is blocking US $200 million intended for the Palestinian Authority (PA), which persisted with its UN statehood bid in the face of US disapproval. Few things typify international complicity in stalling Palestinian aspirations like this on/off money switch. The current cut in cash will affect health and social projects - but not, it is said, the PA's security commitments (coordinated with Israel). In other words, the pinch is designed to cause Palestinian suffering - but is calibrated so as not to upset Israeli concerns, or totally derail the stagnating status quo. It's a fine calculation and one over which Palestinians are losing patience - on more than one occasion, PA officials have threatened to pull the plug on their limited governance. Between the Israeli occupation and a dependence on foreign aid - the withdrawal of which is routinely used as threat - it would hardly be surprising if PA officials concluded that their compromised remit to indefinitely manage a stunted Palestinian state-in-waiting isn't worth the headache.
Israeli officials know there's a tipping point. That's partly why prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, not known for acts of generosity toward his Palestinian counterpoints, was in US congress last month, explaining that cutting PA funds entirely wouldn't be a good thing. Foreign funding is part of the Oslo accords and premised on the creation, through peace talks, of a Palestinian state. In this context, the EU is a key financial partner to the PA - but, even with the Eurozone in crisis, with one official saying that aid levels are "unsustainable", and worries over who will plug the gap left by cuts in US funds, there's a core commitment to keep the prop-up money flowing.
Palestine: The aid cash cow
The cash goes hand in hand with an insistence on stalemated negotiation - reiterated by the Middle East quartet in recent days - and that's the best it gets from the international community. Time and again, we've seen that there is no political will to drive the alternative: pressure on Israel to end its military occupation and put a stop to the Jewish settlements that are decimating the geography of a Palestinian state. In any case, this contrived impasse is a cash cow at every level. On the ground, scores of international workers are employed in a foreign aid sector that should not exist, since Palestine, free from occupation, has ample brainpower and resources to power its own economy.
"Aid money ... almost all flows back to companies in the donor nation."
A report released last month showed that aid money, because of the conditions on how it is spent, almost all flows back to companies in the donor nation - making places like the Palestinian territories a channel through which countries turn state aid into corporate gain. Meanwhile, on the phantom peace track, there's ample opportunity for people like Tony Blair, accused of using his Middle East 'peace envoy' title to secure money-making schemes, as has recently been revealed. Running through his deals and the conflict of interest they may represent, a recently aired Dispatches report on British Channel 4 TV noted that its easy to see how Blair benefits, but "more difficult to see what the Middle East peace process gets out of Tony Blair". (The peace envoy has since dismissed these allegations as "untrue and absurd".) Israel's occupation, perpetuated in part by the tired Oslo formula of aid-plus-asymmetric-talks, is fuelling profits for scores of companies.
Turkey's regional power play Israel's diplomatic tsunami
Among them are the American arms manufacturers that benefit from American state money, given as aid to Israel and then spent on US weaponry. And the Israeli arms and surveillance firms that test cutting edge equipment on occupied Palestinians, securing a position as market leaders. At so many points in this money trail, state funding is funnelled into corporate coffers, all fundamentally enabled by the international community's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Now, the Palestinians' UN bid for statehood, and reactions to it, have brought this conditional-aid-plus-talks doctrine into sharp focus. We can see all the strings. And, just as clearly, we can see how they're being pulled to strangle Palestinian hopes.

Newark, NJ (PRWEB) February 05, 2013
On Tuesday, February 12, 2013 from 12:00 - 1:00pm EST, Immigration Attorney Harlan York will present his new program, Advanced Immigration Waiver Practice: A Legal Practicum for Surmounting Extreme Hardship & Waiving Inadmissibility, live on Lawline.Com. The seminar will include extensive coverage of the new 601A provisional waiver which will be available in March 2013.
Mr. York's four previous Lawline presentations -- Immigration Detention; Political Asylum and Gang Activity; Prosecutorial Discretion; and U Visas for Victims of Violence -- were all highly praised, with reviews such as:
- Harlan York presents the material clearly and conveys an excellent level of mastery.
- Harlan York provides a wealth of practical tips for both experts and novices alike.
- If I was an undocumented victim of a qualifying crime, I'd want Mr. York to be my attorney.
Mr. York has been described as a "passionate and compassionate" speaker. His Immigration Lectures have been watched by attorneys and students in 17 states and as far away as Dubai. His new free program can be found at http://www.Lawline.com.

Just like to say that is a very good checklist and I think it may be useful for a lot of adrenal fatigue sufferers. Adrenal Fatigue has been described in the past as a problem with saying 'no' to things - it is therefore not a surprise to see so many of my clients who have adrenal issues be used to pushing themselves hard and not taking care of themselves the way they could/should.

Vivaldi's Venice
Music and Celebration in the Baroque Era
A detailed evocation of Venice and the city's musical culture that inspired Vivaldi. At the time Venice was, uniquely, a city where all classes mingled in their love of music; aristocrats, gondoliers and the workers met to listen to all types of music. All that is known about Vivaldi's life is included, and all the recent discoveries that have been made about that life (as well as details from Vivaldi's contemporaries). The book captures the hedonistic atmosphere of Venice at the time, already an international tourist destination, and how that was reflected by the mysterious Vivaldi in his baroque music (which is still available in a range of recordings).

Kobe Bryant suffers 'probable torn Achilles,' will undergo MRI to confirm
Apr 13, 2013, 2:02 AM EDT
The Lakers kept their playoff hopes alive with a come from behind win over the Warriors on Friday, but likely lost their best player in the process.
Kobe Bryant exited the game with 3:08 to play, after suffering the injury and then hitting two free throws to tie the game at 109 before he limped off the floor and into the locker room, unable to return.
Afterward, Lakers PR said that Bryant suffered a "probable torn Achilles," and that an MRI would take place on Saturday to confirm the diagnosis.
Bryant conducted his postgame interviews with tears in his eyes and on crutches, which would lead us to believe that he is in fact done for the season due to the injury.
Bryant has been doing everything in his power to drag the Lakers into the postseason, playing at least 47 of a possible 48 minutes in four of his team's last six games, before logging 45 minutes against the Warriors until the injury forced him to the locker room.
Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni has to shoulder a portion of the blame for Bryant's injury, given the fact that he allowed Kobe to play all of those minutes in his 17th NBA season with zero regard to the toll it would take on him from a pure health perspective.
None of that matters now, however. It's long been accepted that the Lakers wouldn't be able to do much if they ended up securing the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. But without Bryant, they won't do anything at all, and the team will remain in a state of flux and uncertainty until Bryant recovers fully from this injury.

Warming drawers with integrated drawer fronts/custom panels
I'd like to find out if anyone has any experience with warming drawers that can take a custom wood panel matched to the surrounding cabinets. Various appliance dealers have pointed us to the Wolf WWD30 and the Dacor IWO27. One dealer also told us that although the Ge Monogram ZTD910BF could accept a custom panel accessory kit, that it does not mount "flush" and the panel would possibly stick out further than the surround drawer faces.
We don't want to end up buying a warming drawer that on paper says it can take a wood panel but in reality ends up not blending in with the cabinetry. Any thoughts/experience/pointers would be appreicated.
FYI for anyone going down this path, the Dacor warming drawer has a setting to control the moisture (basically a vent), but this is not available on the custom panel. The Wolf doesn't have this option. The GE Monogram has a moisture control but its not obvious whether you loose this with the custom panel (owner's manual doesn't comment either way.)
I'm going with the Miele. Not installed yet, so can't comment on function or anything else, just that we chose the one that takes a custom panel. The drawers are inset and the warming drawer will be flush with the face frame of the cabinet.
Link below is to the drawer on AJ Madison's site.
Here is a link that might be useful: Miele warming drawer
I have a Dacor with a custom panel. It is currently sitting out just a bit (maybe 1/4") because my electrician didn't put the outlet in right and I'm going to have to call in another electrician to fix it. This is the indoor/outdoor because it is the only one that fits in a 21" deep cabinet, and if you followed the directions and put the outlet in properly, it would fit just fine. I'm sure their 24" deep models would do the same. I also liked the timer feature so I wouldn't leave it on overnight or a couple of days.
All of the integrated models take a panel and can be flush with adjacent cabinetry doors and drawers. How you get there is the hard part. This is where there is NO SUBISTITUTE for planning and a good installer. the design must take into account the drawers depth width and height. The panel thickness must be accounted for too. How deep are your cabinets? Is there room for all this??? Many/most require cabinet carcass modification to work. Dacor's requires the least or none.
This is not for the DIY'er or the neophyte designer or joe appliance salesman. If you hear "it'll work no problem" run quickly, unless that person is showing you their last install and you like it.
I have seen two integrated warming drawers with custom panels. One stuck out 1/4" or so and was obviously a warming drawer from across the room. It was a Wolf drawer. I don't think it was the appliance's fault - I truly suspect error on the part of the installer, like previous posters have stated. I saw the Dacor drawer installed perfectly. It blended in seamlessly and a casual observer would probably open it trying to put away a pan only to find - voila - a warming drawer! I am personally going with Dacor because of the timer that will keep me from forgetting it's on and having it run for a few days before I remember!!
At several different appliance stores I asked the proprietors which brand of warming drawer could be integrated the most easily. All said the Dacor did the best on that front. One proprietor also said that Dacor invented the warming drawer and it has been around since the 60's! I have not been able to verify that fact but it sounds good. My only disappointment in the Dacor was that it did not come in a 30 inch with the integrated cabientry panel. The largest is 27 inches. Mine is not yet installed.
Good luck.
I bailed on the integrated front at the last minute. My WD (Wolf) is directly under the matching wall oven and the pair look nice together. I was also a bit uncomfortable putting a wood front on a WD wondering how well it would hold up. When I mentioned my concern to the dealer, she said she would not do it either and encouraged me at that point to get the stainless front.
We have a 27" GE profile in a 30" drawer stack.
We bought it for $200 on eBay and removed the ugly scratched white glass- our cabinetmaker simply made a 30" drawer front to put on the front.
This was not rocket science and it works perfectly. The moist/crisp setting is inoperable now, but if I'm keeping something crisp, I simply crack the drawer a bit.
Caveat- we did have to cut into the drywall for the install. In my NEXT kitchen (don't tell DH I'm thinking...) I will pull out the cabinets a couple of inches all around- would've made all our appliance installs a lot easier.
pecan's experience illustrates exactly what I'm talking about. Cutting sheetrock on an exterior wall is a disaster. Also think how easy it's going to be to align drawer fronts when you find out you need an extra 1/2"- 3 1/2" just to get the appliance box to fit.
BTW - wolf's is the biggest offender on the market IMO because it is the deepest.
What about the Kitchen Aid warming drawer (link below)? It seems to deliver all the goods plus functions as a slow cooker for a lot less than the Wolf.
I don't like the location of the Wolf warming drawer's controls. They seem vulnerable to spills. The Dacor we used in our last house lacked crisp/moist controls and gave the installer fits (which, I accept, probably says more about the installer).
Our designer wants us to put the warming drawer in a stack below a pair of ovens (or an oven and a microwave). I prefer to have the warming drawer higher than that and also want it in a location where it can be accessed at the same time someone is tending to the oven(s).
Whatever we choose, our new warming drawer will almost certainly go in the island (where there will be plenty of depth), either on the far side from the ovens and cooktop or opposite the space between them.
Here is a link that might be useful: Kitchen Aid 30 Inch Custom Panel Warming Drawer
I just saw my integrated warming drawer today--a Dacor. One cannot tell that it is a warming drawer. For future reference though, it is in an island and the GC said that when it was first installed, it stuck out slightly. As a result, the carpenter cut out the back of the island wall so the unit could be recessed slighly further back. I would recommend a 2-4 inch hollow core in an island after seeing how valuable it has been for us-especially with cords for cabinet lights, warming drawer and the pull out mixer.
Regarding crisp or moist, the fully integrated Dacor only provides moist.
I know this is an old post but I can't find anything else on this subject here. I have the GE Monogram 27" integrated warming drawer and am trying to deal with the problem of the drawer face sticking too far out in relation to the rest of the drawers. I can recess the front panel on the cabinet to bring the drawer back enough but then I'd have to cut out the back of the cabinet as well. This will put the back of my warming drawer about 1/4" away from the the drywall. Has anyone else done this or see a problem with doing this? I left the unit on for a few hours to see just how hot the exterior got when on high. It got too hot to touch but didn't seem like it'd be a fire hazard. There's nothing in the installation instructions regarding proximity to drywall. And I have the standard 1/2" thick drywall, not the fire rated 5/8" thick, if that matters.

"All software vendors now or in the near future will need to have "born of the cloud" capabilities in addition to on-premise," observed Shashi "Sash" Purohit, Founder, President & CTO of Ambernet, in this exclusive Q&A with Cloud Expo conference chairs Larry Carvalho and Vanessa Alvarez. V"endors will need to develop multi-tenancy, improved security and other features to support true SaaS deployment. There are a lot of vendors that offer "hosted" deployments as the basis of their SaaS offer."
Cloud Computing Journal: How are cloud standards playing a role in expanding adoption among users? Are standards helping new business models for service providers?
Shashi "Sash" Purohit: The National Institute of Standard & Technology (NIST) was instrumental in setting the stage for the adoption of Cloud Services in both the public and private sectors. We believe standards help create a rallying point for vendors, service providers and end users to work from. They help create confidence and validate choices and decisions that separate market leaders from others. Most buyers like to know that they are working with thought leaders who have invested time, money, and effort to secure the right approach that is standards compliant. Standards help reduce "short-cuts" and create motivation for the industry to work from. As an example, just look at what the FedRamp Standards/Certification process has done for public markets. It has really started the ball rolling to ensure security, compliance, governance, and other important criteria that makes it possible for agencies to buy with confidence. We offer a Cloud Management & Brokerage product that is based on industry standards including NIST and ITIL, yet offers unique differentiating features.
Cloud Computing Journal: How are hybrid clouds evolving to allow the coexistence of private and public clouds? What are the challenges to meeting a true hybrid cloud scenario?
Purohit: Hybrid is the new normal. We expect those organizations with cloud footprints to want multiple choices and different levels of computing capability running a variety of different workloads. We believe the key to deploying a successful hybrid cloud scenario is implementing the right cloud management system - one that allows for complete governance and compliance; handles integration brokerage; orchestration; visibility; products and services catalog; chargeback/showbacks and other important features.
Cloud Computing Journal: Are on-premise software vendors successfully migrating their business model to a SaaS model? What are the challenges faced in this journey?
Purohit: All software vendors now or in the near future will need to have "born of the cloud" capabilities in addition to on-premise. Vendors will need to develop multi-tenancy, improved security and other features to support true SaaS deployment. There are a lot of vendors that offer "hosted" deployments as the basis of their SaaS offer. In the future these same vendors will need to support multi-tenancy and offer software that is infrastructure independent to meet the demands of the market.
Cloud Computing Journal: With several vendors lowering costs for infrastructure, is there a way for new cloud service providers entering this space to make money?
Purohit: We think the market will continue to grow quickly and can support new entrants even with price point pressure. But the challenge will be to create unique value-add abilities on top of bare metal, capacity and storage. As an example, if a new entrant wants to compete with some of the public cloud giants, it can't be on their own terms. The new entrants will need to find creative and unique ways to create a niche. For example, they may need to focus on a specific market segment with unique workload requirements, develop or procure more effective cloud management tools, and/or bundle their services with high value professional services.
Cloud Computing Journal: How do projects like Open Compute and the concept of web scale IT impact the way enterprises think about managing their infrastructure and IT environment?
Purohit: With any big market with high velocity adoption there are going to be great initiatives and programs that create even more momentum and justification to embrace change. Right now the industry is still working to optimize how to secure the economic potential and benefits of cloud services. We believe that when cloud infrastructure becomes even more open, available and commoditized that there will be a greater need for enterprises to adopt an infrastructure-independent and service-aware cloud management solution. More choice and more options will inevitably create a greater variety of cloud services. This is called service-aware cloud management.
Cloud Computing Journal: What are the challenges for end users to adopt a new model for application development using Platform as a Service? Are vendors doing enough to meet their needs?
Purohit: Some of the big anchor vendors are pushing really hard to secure market leadership in this area. We are seeing choices that are creating dependency on the selected vendors once an enterprise selects the app dev environment. Really not sure this is going to be the long-term approach given the fact that developers and architects will want to avoid lock-in and have more flexibility to make the best choices. We believe the long-term goal for all things cloud is as much portability as possible in the easiest possible manner.

The one who is criticized is often admired.
I am a creator of veracity, slayer of boredom, explorer of humanity, and conqueror of convention. So, predictably, I'm becoming a bit tired of trying to build rapport with flaky girls in loud clubs and bars who are too drunk to remember who I am if I do call. I'm NOT desperate, but here I am, trying the online dating thing in the naive hope of a less superficial way to meet a quality girl. In short, I'm here to meet fun, attractive, smart, down to earth girls. Oh, and did I mention, I'm very witty, sarcastic, and rarely serious so a good sense of humor is a must. I'm looking for casual/possibly series dating, I don't like labels, but if im particularly impressed a relationship is not out of the realm of possibility. I'm driven ambitious and I know what I want. I highly regard character, integrity, and open mindedness. However, "traditional convention" bore me, and I don't typically get along with people who live their lives by a bunch off arbitrary rules. I'm a laid back guy, and I love live music. I prefer dive bars to clubs, but I like to mix it up. I can blend in anywhere: suit and tie to flip flops and board shorts to chuck Taylors and a leather jacket. I enjoy having crazy nights out and traveling (especially if I have a partner in crime.) However, I also like to take it easy once in a while with a couple drinks among friends, stimulating conversation, or a movie at home. Uptight or conceded shallow girls im not interested in. Please if you frequently engage in petty drama or emotional hysterics don't waste your time here. So just don't window shop shoot me an email!!

The upcoming adaptation of the 80s action television series The Equalizer, which has Denzel Washington set to star, has been having a bit of trouble holding on to a director. At first it looked as though Drive helmer Nicolas Winding Refn was going to make the film...
Now that he is no longer helming the sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the Hollywood is director Rupert Wyatt's oyster. Not only is he coming off a movie that made $481 million at the global box office, Rise was also a smash hit with critics and was one of the best reviewed movies to come out during the summer of 2011, which combined has made Wyatt one of the most sought after filmmakers working right now.
Refn has walked away from The Equalizer, a modernized adaptation of the cult 1980s television series that currently has Denzel Washington attached to star. The main character in The Equalizer is a retired intelligence agent who now assists the downtrodden as a private investigator.
In July it was confirmed that Denzel Washington had been set to star in The Equalizer, an adaptation of the action/crime television series from the mid-to-late 1980s that starred Edward Woodward as a retired intelligence agent cum private detective who worked to help his clients "equalize" threatening situations. At the time it was said that Richard Wenk...
The past few years, Denzel Washington has settled into a groove of mid-range action thrillers where is husky voice and bursting bravado lend plenty of pop to the otherwise uninspired ventures
Obviously it sounds like this is far from a done deal, but it's an interesting proposition nonetheless. Washington's record since American Gangster hasn't been that great (mostly because he keeps working with Tony Scott), but this could be a really cool role for him. The only problem I see is the jackasses that come out of the wordwork to say that black actors shouldn't play characters originally played by white actors.
As Paul Haggis promotes his latest project, The Next Three Days, were hearing more and more about his ambitious plans for the future, specifically a remake of the Spanish thriller Celda 211, a movie version of the TV show
How many more of these are we going to have to sit through before we come to a collective realization that 90% of these turn out terrible? If it worked as a television series why spend millions of dollars turning it
Russell Crowe may soon go back to making movies people want to see. Or at least hell make movies we havent already seen like, you know, Robin Hood

Current Schedule
Dear friends:
In the coming months, St. Michael's will continue celebrating liturgy on a "feast day" basis, rather than on a regular day. This only affects services at our home parish in Kenosha. If you are in the Chicago (IL) or Chesterton (IN) areas however, you are welcome to attend services at our sister locations, the Parish of St. John the Revelator and St. Bernard of Clairveaux Narthex. Each meets at least monthly for liturgy and welcomes you!
In February liturgy will be celebrated on Sunday 22 February at 7:00pm, for the Feast of Bernard Raymond Fabré-Palaprat, founder of the Primitive Johannite Church.
In March liturgy will be celebrated on Thursday 26 March at 7:00pm for the Feast of the Archangel Gabriel.
During Holy Week, we will celebrate the Liturgy of the Last Supper on Thursday 2 April at 7:00pm. On Saturday 4 April we will meet at 11:00pm for the celebration of Tenebrae, and at midnight we will celebrate the Divine Liturgy for Easter Sunday including the singing of the Praeconium Paschale.
About our liturgical rites:
The Theocletian Rite is a formal liturgy influenced by both the Johannite Congregational Rite and traditional Orthodox Christian practise.
We will also celebrate the Contemplative Rite by request. If you have a particular time that would work well for you and would like to experience this majestic and instrospective rite of the Apostolic Johannite Church, please contact us and we will be happy to schedule something for you at your home, office, or at our locations. The Contemplative Rite is much more informal, provides a much greater opportunity for participation by the congregation, and is meant to facilitate a group meditation in the context of the Eucharist.
If you are interested in joining us for any of our liturgies, please contact the Rector at [email protected] or phone 1-262-SAINTM-0

I challenge your jaw not to drop as you enter this church. Utilitarian on the outside but a marvel on the inside. Definitely worth the effort to visit. The Michelagelo statue is impressive and it is in good company. No daunting lines to get into this church either.
My FAVORITE Church in Italy!!! Go in and not be awed by the ceiling... I dare you! The Piazza della Minerva is also very nice with a statue of an elephant carrying an obelisk. Located around the corner from the Pantheon in the old section of Rome
On the outside it looks quite bland and plain but once you head inside you'll experience a feeling of awe that the exterior conceals. From the plethora of tombs of important individuals, such as popes and that of Saint Catherine of Siena, to the gothic architecture and the blue ceiling there is plenty to see. Moreover, a beautiful marble sculpture...

One of the few Gothic churches in Rome. Supposedly built on the ruins of the Temple Minerva. Contains Michelangelo's "Risen Christ". Has an elephant with an Egyptian Obelisk in front of the church. The elephant was sculptured by Bernini.
This is a really beautiful church, and one I'd highly recommend visiting. Of course you're spoilt for choice when it comes to churches in Rome, but not all are created equal! This was my favourite. The outside is fairly plain, but it can easily be identified as there is an elephant statue with an obelisk on its back outside. The...

Crazy Bulk Review
Will Taking Crazy Bulk Supplements help to boost muscle?
Whether you are crushing heavy weight squats, pushing yourself hard, or simply attempting to burn away some additional fat on the treadmill, you want to see results. You've officially heard nutritional experts saying that "diet is everything" or "75% of your outcomes are in your eating plan" – and that is partially true… While working out can give you results, if you want to take things to the next level then you might want to consider supplementation.
What supplements should you use and how can they help?
If you take a look at any of the insanely huge body builders over the years, at many points in their career they would of admitted to using steroids to enhance their performance. Indeed athletes like Zyzz, with low body fat and bulging muscle yet aren't "ludicrous", like Arnold or Ronnie C., straightforwardly confess to using steroids, lawful or not, to accomplish this look.
Steroids truly are the missing connection between looking like a stick insect or dominating in the gym. While anabolic steroids do have a tonne of benefits for muscle performance, users complain of the following issues:
Dangerous Symptons
The thing about steroids is that they accompany genuine symptoms, for example:
● Small ball disorder (its valid!),
● Acne
● Depression/suicide
● Extreme emotional episodes – PMS for fellows
● Tits/feminisation
● Cancer – steroids are classed as being "Most likely cancer-causing to people", which makes them not so much justified regardless of the danger
● Major difficulties that can wind up being deadly
We are constantly bombarded with thousands of products that guarantee results and do not deliver. If you wanted to look at a great alternative to anabolic steroids, then you may want to consider Crazy Bulks range of legal steroids. If you want to read an official crazy bulk review online, then head over to the companies website or do a Google search where you can find some great information on what they have to offer.
This is the reason legal steroids have ended up so famous – you get mind blowing advantages, without the dangers that accompany and nasty side effects that come with taking illegal steroids.
A percentage of the best legitimate steroids online give close equivalent results to anabolic steroids, without the symptoms, because of the mind blowing advances in innovation and solution these thousand years. Illicit mixtures of steroids are regularly diluted, and made in labs that are most likely not up to solid, safe principles that you would expect from a product that is going into your body!
Why Consider Crazy Bulk?
Crazy Bulk is a USA based organization that offers nine separate sorts of lawful steroids, which are gathered into Cutting, Bulking and Stacks (all the more on stacks later). They offer free dispatching to the US and UK, high-medicinal quality items, and you get each third thing free. You can purchase legitimate steroids online through these fellows – and they offer some extraordinarily influential items. They additionally make it really clear that despite the fact that their items get you executioner results, they come with no of the hazardous steroids.

The Best Fruit Juicers For Health And Taste
There is nothing better than considering the most important factors that dictate functionality, utility value, longevity of juicers, before spending your money. However, before you can purchase any brand or model of your choice, it is elemental that you do some research. You should take time to read reviews on juicers, as well as consult with experts in the industry. In this way, you will be informed and make the correct decision on the type of machine you will buy.
Various Types Of Juicers
It is advisable that you understand your needs before you can start searching for any particular juicer. This is because of the sole reason that variables do dictate what kind of juicer you can go for. There are juicers that can best be used at homes, while others come in handy for commercial purposes. Based on this fact, decide on what you really want to use the machine for.
What To Look For In A Juicer
The utility value of any juicer is always anchored on speed, the faster it is the better it is for you. The advancement in technology has enable a good number of juicers to be pretty fast, and you can get a job done within a short period of time. When looking at speed, ensure that technology used will offer you value for your money. In this way, you will always get nutrients needed without thinking about how long the juicing process will take. As for this fact, the centrifugal types are know to be much faster and they can save you on time and money.
What Will You Be Juicing?
The other things that you need to consider is exactly what you will be juicing with the machine. While there are those that do well with fruits, there are others that can help a great deal when it comes leafy vegetables. There are some that can do well with both fruits and vegetables. If you are thinking working on veggies, you are well advised to go for the masticating juicers. It is with this kind that you will have the highest functionality rates when dealing with leafy vegetables.
The volume of juice extracted and how much nutrient you can get is a top priority when it comes to ensuring the best of juicer choice. If you are looking for large of juice from your vegetable and fruits, it is indisputable that you go for triturating juicers. These can also be used in making butter, pasta, different types of baby food, and also, all manner of fruity sorbet. If you have a god brand or model, then you can enjoy high utility value for a long period of time.
Consider Motor Power And Size Before Buying
The size and motor power of the juicer must be considered before buying any brand or model on the market today. This is vital especially if you want to get the most out of your juicer, especially if you want to use it for commercial purposes. They motor power determines efficiency, and this also means that you should go for those with the highest within your budget range. Importantly, if you have limited space in your kitchen you can opt for the small sized but versatile juicers. No matter what you needs are, you can always get one that will benefit you.
It is beneficial to choose juicers with additional features that enhance utility value of the particular product. For instance, if you get one that you can use it for making coconut milk, do not hesitate to buy it. This is for the sole reason that it will help you save on extra costs, as well as offer opportunity to do other things apart from juicing fruits and vegetables. Pricing is also important and the technical components of the juicers. Remember, not all highly priced juicers are great, and not all the low priced machines are bad.
The Less Moving Parts The Better
Your ideal juicer should have fewer movable parts because this makes the cleaning process pretty simple. You do not need to take so much time cleaning juicers, nor get a juicer that is not user-friendly. It is much better if you get a product that you can easily figure out how to use it. Above all, it should help you save on energy costs and make it possible to live green. Today, there are a good number of juicers that can help you save lots of money on rebates offered by governments and environmental organizations. If you still don't know which juicer to get, take a look at this VS review: masticating vs centrifugal juicerRead More

The Importance Of Healthy Eating And Exercise
The Importance Of Healthy Eating And Exercise
There is a connection between healthy eating and exercises. What you need to know is when to eat and what kinds of food as well. There is no way your body will feel comfortable without exercises, and this means it has to be a routine. When preparing for workouts, it's important to have a healthy breakfast one hour before. It should contain carbohydrates as this is the only way you can feel re energized during the workout process. Some of the best options to start with include yogurt, some low fat milk, bananas or cereal bread. Some coffee in the morning is simply fine.
Eating before exercising is a good way to keep you motivated in the whole process. There are three kinds of meals that should be keenly looked at. The large meals ought to be taken 4 hours earlier while the small meals can be taken 2 hours earlier. In the case of snacks, it's much better to use them an hour before. Overeating before exercises can be a burden especially during the process and you can also have a stomach upset. Snacking well is an option; you should aim at getting what works well for you, in simple words, the choice of snacks you choose should be more energizing as this is the only way that hunger pangs will be reduced. Some of the ideal snacks that need to be used include yorgurt, fruit smoothies, the peanut butter sandwiches and other kinds of energy bars.
Don't Forget The Post Workout Meals
Once you have completed the exercise session, it is also important to eat healthy. In this case, your next meal should contain some proteins and carbohydrates and this should be done 2 hours after the exercise period. Some of the best combinations of such meals include pasta and some meat balls. Its also better to have some yogurt and fruit. Chicken is also a good source of protein with brown rice. According to the experts, its also much better to take at least 3 cups of water some few hours before the exercises.
Water is simply the best remedy when it comes to the replacement of the lost fluids from the body. Sports drinks can also be a good idea since they also have many carbohydrates and can therefore strike a good balance for you. The amount of food you should eat normally varies, well some go for strenuous workouts while others don't and this means the size of food will vary. You only need to pay attention to how you feel especially after the exercises
Changes In Health Takes Time
Your health cannot be enhanced within a blink of an eye. It is a process and it needs commitment and perseverance. There are many other things that matter along the way such as weight, gender, kind of lifestyle, and the surrounding circumstances but all the same all you need to do is have a plan for a healthy living. A healthy diet will help you achieve your goals. If you are over weight for instance, all you need to do is embark on the weight loss kind of diet. Having a realistic mind set is the key when it comes to healthy living? A working strategy will give you the right direction. For instance, you have to start eating small as this is the best way of increasing metabolism. The calories will also burn much faster and this means well for your body.
Self motivation is also a sure way. If you have just stated exercise for instance, focus more on how you will have to do it, a good number of people make the mistake of monitoring their pounds on a daily basis and this can end up humiliating them because it is a process. The mention of chocolates, ice creams, cookies, pastries and cakes is a sweet smell to everyone, however there is much more to regret later when all the calories have been pumped in the body. It means you have to come up with a way of shedding them as soon as possible before they become an issue. Instead, concentrate on healthy foods like cheese, yogurt, beans and fish. Such meals will reduce fats and increase the level of fiber within the body.Read More
Top 6 Health and Fitness Advises
Work to make a stronger body, not the skinnier one – in the world of today, where there are unrealistic photoshopped role models staring at us from the covers of the magazines, it seems really hard to explain other people that slim is not always healthy. There is nothing wrong with being skinny, but some people damage their health in pursue of the wrong goal. Your goal should be a healthier body and a stronger organism, the one that can fight the illness and get you around wherever you need to go for as long as you need it.
Cut the whites
people often struggle to get the right diet, then struggle to keep it going and then at the end – to keep the weight loss and not bounce back to their old self. You must realize what the goal of a diet is and you must accept that there are bad things for you. The "white stuff" is a rule of thumb that is easy to follow and remember, as it has abut a few exceptions. So: cut the white bread, pasta, rice and sugar out of your eating regime and your health and weight will both benefit from it. But, keep the egg whites and fish, they are your friends!
Eat Your Vegetables
Broccoli – just eat the broccoli, that's it. It helps your liver and fights off the cancer. The best way is to steam it instead of cooking, but any will do!
Vitamin D – this guy is a great help when you are trying to lose weight. It helps with the fat cells in your body and regulates their behavior, so you better be good with it. Vitamin D can be found in foods like tuna and salmon but you can also find it in the Sun. Yes, really – sun bathing will get you some vitamin D, too, just be careful not to go overboard with it, as sun has some bad effects if exposed for too long.
Drink One Gallon Of Water A Day
Hydration – this is just imperative. If you are losing wight, you will want to feel less hungry – and water helps. You will also need your metabolism to work faster – and again, water comes to rescue, as it is a natural booster for your body. Don't drink energy drinks, you were made to drink water and every cell of your body wants it. It will make you more energized, rested, your skin will glow and you will generally feel better.
Tea – instead of daily drinking sodas and energy drinks, you should switch to green tea. Green tea is an natural anti oxidant and it helps your hearth and immune system. It will also give you more energy and help you with a diet. it's scented so if you really need to feel the flavor it's a great way to switch when trying to drink more healthy stuff.Read More

Single Payer Fight to Intensify in States if Court Strikes Down Health Care Law
|By: David Dayen Wednesday June 27, 2012 1:20 pm
One school of thought in progressive circles, if the Supreme Court strikes down the Affordable Care Act, is that this will afford an opportunity to return to the public with a full-throated call for "Medicare for All," a single-payer system that would use taxes to fund health coverage for all of the country's citizens, as is done throughout the world. The idea appears to have some traction at the state level, especially in states like Vermont and California that have already considered the idea.
Emergency Evacuation, Drill Requirements Quietly Cut While Nuclear Regulators Consider Doubling Length of License Extensions
|By: Gregg Levine Thursday May 17, 2012 2:40 pm
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a public meeting tonight (Thursday, May 17) on the safety and future of the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC), a nuclear power plant located in Buchanan, NY, less than 40 miles north of New York City. The Tarrytown, NY "open house" (as it is billed) is designed to explain and answer questions about the annual assessment of safety at IPEC delivered by the NRC in March, but will also serve as a forum where the community can express its concerns in advance of the regulator's formal relicensing hearings for Indian Point, expected to start later this year.
And if you are in the area–even as far downwind as New York City–you can attend.

Nuclear "Renaissance" Meets Economic Reality, But Who Gets the Bill?
|By: Gregg Levine Friday February 24, 2012 3:15 pm
The real profits in the nuclear racket come from the ability to collect on services not rendered and a product not delivered, or at least not delivered regularly. Because the system backstops the financing of nuclear facilities while also allowing plant operators to pass both real and anticipated costs onto ratepayers, many American taxpayers are poised to pay twice for nuclear power plants that don't produce power.

Camera questions
I'm planning on buying a new Canon in the near future and would appreciate any advice! My granddaughter is a senior and wants me to shoot her senior pictures for her! I have no idea what Canon to buy that would be something I could do senior pictures, maybe her wedding within a couple of years, and some good landscape photos (I love driving through the country snapping photos of old barns, et). Thanks for any advice I can get for someone who knows more than me (and you don't have to know much to know more than I do! ha!).
Kessy, your photographs must have made quite an impression on your granddaughter for her to want you to take her senior pictures. What camera are you using now?
I assume you'll want a DSLR and some lenses: something like a 70mm lens for portraits and wider angles for wedding and landscape photography. I don't know anything about the many Canon models and lenses, but I'm sure if you ask your question at DPReview's Beginners Questions Forum you'll get lots of useful information. Many Canon people hang out there. DPR also has several forums for Canon users.
Unless you have a lighting setup, I suggest you do the senior pictures in natural light, but not bright sunlight. Early morning or overcast day might work.
Let us know what you get!
2nd the above tips.
Also, if you get a DSLR, you can also rent a lens or two. For example, if you want to add-in a few fun photos, consider trying a fisheye ...
Not a lot of them. But a few might be cool to try. Explore for fisheye on Flickr too and see what others are doing for some ideas.

Street Musicians Won't Stay Silent in Downtown Newport
Each summer Newport becomes a mecca of live music, yet there are no musicians performing on the streets. The Arts and Cultural Alliance of Newport is trying to change that.
Newport Music Festival, Sunset Music Festival, the Folk Fest, and the Jazz Fest, in this city live music is everywhere, except on the streets.
Newport currently bans street performing, or busking, without an event permit.
This makes it hard for musicians without a stage to play on to get their music to the public.
So the Arts and Cultural Alliance of Newport is bringing a week of busking to downtown this summer.
Aaron Abrahamson Cote is a free-lance musician, and a board member on the Arts and Cultural Alliance.
He said that busking provides local musicians with exposure, and tourists with an experience distinct to Newport.
"We have some of the greatest musicians in the region right in Newport. Why can't they take a guitar out on the street and play, and when people walk by, they're looking at it thinking culture and music is everywhere, this is part of what Newport is."
Cote said there's also an economic impact, as it helps local musicians trying to make a living in the city. So far about 16 musicians are scheduled to perform downtown between July 29th and August 1st.
