The crew is very kind and attentive, and the diving point is beautiful. Dozens of dolphins and some whales were seen from the boat. It was a really gorgeous tour!
We would take this trip every day if we could.
A brilliant day on the ocean with Captain Dave! Enjoyed every bump along the way. The snorkelling was excellent, the water incredible and the day perfect.
This was an excellent tour. There were just 12 of us and we gelled really well together. Our tour guides Colin and Jen were very informative and Colin did a terrific job of making the adventure fun for everyone. I highly recommend it whether your young or 60+ you'll have a great time!
Buda is the reason this tour received a 5 star rating. He was extremely helpful in making this a very enjoyable event. This was my second attempt to snorkel; the first one (Atlantic waters) didn't go well. Buda took the time to give me tips and to make sure that I was at ease in the water. Many thanks to him!!!!!
The zodiac trip was wonderful, the snorkeling was breath taking and the crew was great. Highly recommend this trip.
Captain Collin and Caleb were awesome. They told us lots of great facts about the island. They let us snorkel a little longer than normal due to us being the last trip of the day. They showed us lava tubes and lots of fish. We got lucky on our trip going both ways. We got to watch as Spinner Dolphins swam VERY close to our boat and rode our wakes. They followed us for a good mile or so as we got to watch them play and swim. Would Recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great time!
Fantastic trip! Fun zodiac ride, incredible dolphin spectacle, crystal clear water. Overall a great day!
Michelle F
Dave and Budha made this exciting excursion safe and enjoyable!
Capt Ken and especially Buddha were fantastic. My three girls ages 14, 12, and 11 loved it.
Really nice tour, we were really lucky and saw a dolphins, whales an a lot of fish.
we love the tour I wish they were doing more snorkel tour on different parts of the island;
was really fun to get up a little faster!
What a great day! Loved the zodiac raft and being so windswept jetting through the ocean to our snorkel location. The history and information was great but the snorkel was second to none. We were lucky seeing dolphins up close the moment we left the harbor then upon arriving at Captain Cook monument were greeted with more dolphins and an array of gorgeous fish along the beautiful reef. Thanks guys
Learned to snorkle on this trip!! It was AWESOME!
This is for the athletic type of person. Crew bored. Broke loose a bit after we as a group started asking questions and they realized we for the most part had all snorkeled before ....
Fish yellow - blue-black and dolphins

Capt. Ken and 1st Mate Buddha were fabulous! We have been on other snorkling trips, but nothing compares to the Kealakekua Bay experience. We saw dolphins, goats and seabirds along the way, then TONS of beautiful coral and fish in the bay. It was a nice mix of fun and education by the crew and a fantastic day overall. Beat the Crowd sailing was definitely a plus as the big catamarans left -- along with their crowds. Thanks! See you again soon....
Tour was a fun, informative adventure with plenty of time to snorkel and play with the critters. We saw dolphins, turtles and a score of various fish in a protected, beautiful cove. Captain Jack and Maria were wonderful hosts who spent a great deal of time explaining not only the creatures we saw, but the local history and landmarks as well. It was well worth the $.
The tour guides were amazing, I really felt like I got the best possible experience because of them.
this is my second trip with Zodiac, can't wait for the next time.
The captains took great care of us and our kids. We had a blast!
fun trip
Mitch was our guide and made this trip a great pleasure and very fun. We had snorkeled in this same bay the day before, but all the views of the island, the spinner dolphins, the rapid ride, made this wonderful -- go on this trip!!
great great day fun ride wonderful experience for the entire family
it was amazing we saw all 3 types of hawaii's dolphins, Tara and Cory we the best...I would recommend this company to everyone make sure you request Tara and Cory they'll treat you right!!! Cindy Delicate Las Vegas
Janneke H
Tara and Chad, our guides were awesome. Telling us stories and history about the Island and people. Even though I was fearful about jumping in I'm not a strong swimmer they were understanding and helpful and walked me through everything. After ten minutes I was having the time of my life and forgot to be afraid. I would totally use this outfit again.
Captain Tara was great! Lots of local knowledge, entertaining and very competent. The zodiac ride was great and the snorkeling location was the best I've been to in a long time! Lunch hit the spot and there were plenty of sodasjuiceswaters to go around.

Confessions - My thoughts & stories about my journey to health. Having struggled with a food addiction throughout my life, this is my journey to finally reaching that balance point and becoming my best me. This is the real deal: the good, the fat, and the carby!
Have you ever experienced a period of discomfort when you realize something has to change in your life? Maybe it's your health, your finances, your attitude, a relationship, or a career move. That's been me for the past couple months. I'm 75 pounds lighter than I was in high school and college and because I've been able to basically maintain that loss for a period of over 10 years, I find myself getting pretty comfortable-even arrogant-at times. But lately I've had this nagging feeling. Because I still recognize and know some areas that need changing, habits that need broken and created, and attitudes that need adjusting.
I grew up believing that knowledge is power and ignorance is bliss.
I've learned over the past several years though, that having knowledge does not equate to having power. If simply knowing things made us powerful, we would all be unstoppable and none of us would ever struggle with personal weakness. We would identify a weakness, study up on it, acquire the necessary knowledge about that weakness, and it would suddenly & painlessly become a strength.
We do ourselves a disservice when we say that knowledge is power. Knowledge is a commodity-we can access and gain it easily. There is a plethora of information available at our fingertips and it's easy to learn what we need to know.
But knowledge isn't power. Applied knowledge is power. This means we take action with what we know. We DO something with the knowledge we collect. Without application, knowledge is worthless. In fact, I'd rather live in blissful ignorance than to know something that could be helpful to my personal growth and not apply it in my life. {IE-it was MUCH more fun to eat an entire pan of lemon bars before I knew what I know now about balanced healthy eating!}Enter the discomfort I've been feeling the past couple months. I KNOW what I need to do. I KNOW what needs to change. I have so much knowledge about all things regarding health that I even coach others on their journey every day….but that knowledge is really nothing to me personally if I'm not willing to actually take action and apply it in my own life.
So I've been doing. I've been stopping to think about what I really want. I've been challenging myself about why I do certain things or why I resist doing others. I've been choosing activities, habits, and options that will take me toward what I want most instead of what I want now.
And it feels good! And I'm empowered, because I don't simply know things, I'm applying the things I know. THAT is the sweet spot. That is where the real power lies.
What knowledge are YOU going to apply today?
Confession: I thought when I got closer to my goal weight-that illusive & magical number on the scale-somehow everything would be different and I'd suddenly be everything I ever dreamed of.
I know, it sounds ridiculous now that I put it into writing, but I seriously thought some permanent mental shift would occur and suddenly I'd be left with no confidence issues, no feelings of lack, no questioning my worth, no enormous problems in my every day life…everything would just somehow work out.
That's not been my experience, though. I'm still me and my issues are still my issues. Imagine that!
Last week I attended a health coaching convention in Anaheim and had an incredible time. On the plane going there I began reading a book called Cold Tangerines, by Shauna Niequist. She eloquently said exactly what I was feeling about this topic:
"I thought a lot of things would get easier instantly. And some have. But many haven't. I thought, of course, that this was the key that would turn all the locks inside me, that would set in motion all the parts of my life that seemed stuck and stalled. I thought seeing that magic, fabled, dreamt-of number on the scale would turn me into a person who revels in her own skin, who dances in her underwear, who walks into every room fearlessly and shamelessly. I thought that number on the scale would protect me from the vulnerability I had always felt, that it would secure me, once and for all, a place at the cool kids' table at lunch, my very own place in the world of successful, happy, confident people.
What I found, though, is that if you're not chasing one fantasy, you're chasing another. If it's not your body, it's your bank account, and if it's not your bank account, it's your resume or your nose or your boobs or your car or the perfect marriage or the perfect vacation or the perfect child. For two decades, I believed that if I could just get this one thing under control, then the whole of my life would magically bloom like a perfect, lush flower. But to my great dismay, I realized that my life was still my life, and I was still myself, just in smaller pants."
My personal mental shift is in the works. I'm focusing on enjoying the scale & non scale victories as they come; fitting into my size 8 American Eagle jeans that haven't fit in YEARS, doing a double take when I walk by a mirror or see a picture of myself to realize that yes-that's really what I look like, setting a good example for my clients, having more energy to play with my kids on a daily basis, losing 5% body fat in 15 weeks, saying no to the donuts I crave because I really desire the feeling that comes from health more than the feeling that comes from indulgence, and wearing a swimsuit-WITHOUT a cover up!-to swim with my boys in our little 3 foot pool. And slowly, I'm coming to grips with the fact that while being close to goal makes certain things simpler, more enjoyable, and fun, it is not a fix-all. If I don't change the inside-my mental focus and attitude and habits-the outside will just be a shell, and more likely than not, the weight will come back anyway because the changes I've made will be temporary.
So I'm keeping my ego in check, focusing on the things I can change, and working on shifting the necessary gears in my mind and my daily habits so I can stay at a healthy place regardless of what life stuff I'm going through. As always, I'd love to help you! If you're unhappy in body, mind, and/or finances, let's set up a one on one meeting {phone/zoom/in person} and chat. {Picture on the left was taken just over a year ago before birth of our third son, picture on the right was taken this past Monday.}
I'm a huge fan of visualization. Seeing something tangible helps me stay motivated. I have a dream board in my kitchen office & I glance at it several times each day. I keep a pair of goal jeans that I try on regularly to measure my progress. I write daily affirmations, to do lists, goals, just because cards, and keep a meticulous food journal. I like to see my progress on paper as much as in real life. Does that make sense? Can anyone else identify with that?I was recently introduced to a new app by my BFF. It is changing my life! Seriously though, I am loving it. It's called TwoGrand and it's a visual food journal. Log everything you put into your mouth in pictures {preferably before it's in your mouth!} and caption if you'd like. After a while it gives you a real look into your eating habits, as well as keeps you accountable to anyone who follows you. For some reason it was a LOT harder for me to cheat on my plan when I knew I'd be taking a picture that others would see than it is for me to just write it in my food journal.
It takes food journaling to the next level.
In their weekly email, Peter-one of the co-founders-says, "Food journaling is at it's best when we log everything." I cannot agree more! When I realized I would have to take a picture of every bite, lick & taste, it was easier for me to choose to walk away. I only ate what I was willing to document. Those little things add up and it's easy not to take accountability for them, but with this new form of journaling, I adhered to my plan more closely & when I chose to have a cheat item, I didn't go overboard like I would likely have done in the past.
I wholeheartedly encourage you to download the app, follow me {username: healthconfessions, comment that you found me through my blog & I'll follow you back!}, and start being accountable with your food. I know it makes a huge difference!
I had two experiences last week that helped me realize I'm stronger & more capable than I know.
Last week during one of my workouts, box jumps were one of the exercises. I've been too chicken to try anything higher than the 14 inch box because even that feels like a big jump to me {this girl has NEVER been a jumper}, but I decided to try the 18 inch…and I did it! Then I tried the 20…and I did it! Multiple times! It was a huge confidence booster and now I'm not as scared to try the 24 & 30 inch boxes…eventually! (;Then, this Memorial day, the husband and I did something new. We participated in the Murph Challenge WOD.
"[Michael P] Murphy was the leader of a four-man SEAL reconnaissance unit that secretly infiltrated into the Hindu-Kush mountains on June 27, 2005. Ambushed on the 28th by overwhelming Taliban forces, Murphy valiantly climbed into the open onto high ground to make an electronic call for rescue. Wounded, he fought on, allowing one member of his squad to escape, before he himself was killed. Murphy's remains were found during a combat search and rescue operation, July 4, 2005." {taken from HERE}
Murphy loved Crossfit and his favorite WOD {workout of the day} was called Body Armour. After he was killed, the workout was renamed Murph in his honor and every Memorial day, Crossfit gyms around the world host Murph WODS and raise money for his cause.
We had a blast! The WOD is this:
1 mile run
100 Pull ups
200 Push ups
300 Squats
1 mile run
I had butterflies in my stomach on our drive over, but was so excited. We were in the first heat and headed out for our first run when the timer beeped. I was stoked after getting in and seeing my mile 1 time was 9:09 because I haven't run an under ten minute mile since middle school! I know that's not a fast pace for most runners, but for me, it was so exciting! I got right into the workout with husband by my side & it was tough! We separated it into 20 rounds of 5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 squats and went to work. I used different widths of bands for my pull ups {husband did strict pull ups the whole time! He rocks!} and did a mixture of pushups on my knees & hand release push ups. By the time I finished my 20 rounds I was beat, but headed out for the second mile run. I was slower this time-and walked about 1/4 of the mile, but got back & finished for a total time of 54:50. I was stoked and felt awesome! Husband gave me a big hug and we celebrated with others who were finishing.
This type of feat isn't easy and my body often tells my mind I should be done. I knew it was for a good cause and I was loving working out side by side my honey and other like minded health enthusiasts, but there were times my body wanted to say I was done. But, my mind kept reminding my body it can do hard things!
Afterward I had such a sense of accomplishment at doing something I thought might be too hard for me. I encourage you to go out today & try something {healthy} your mind doesn't think your body can do. If you need someone to be accountable to, I'm taking a few new clients through the end of May.

{murph pictures taken by Andrea-a great photographer at the gym}
It's been six weeks since I posted THIS about my spring leaning challenge. I finished my 42 days strong & LOVED the experience. Yesterday was judgement day. Weighing & measuring after six weeks of consistently working out a minimum of 5 days a week, clean eating, lots of water, and trying my best.
The results were:
Six week Progress Weight: 155.0 {minus 8 pounds in 6 weeks}
Six week Progress Bodyfat %: 25.2 {minus 2.9% in 6 weeks}
It's been said it takes a good four weeks for you to notice a difference in your body, 8 weeks for friends & family to notice, and 12 weeks for major noticeable differences, so even though I can't see a ton of difference in the two sets of pics, I have felt totally different & am noticing so many things myself! My clothes are fitting better, I'm feeling stronger, and daily activities are easier. I've lost over 9 inches in six weeks all over and most exciting to me was 1.5 inches above each of my knees! I've always dreamed of having more feminine knees & I'm on my way! Here are some of the things I learned in the process:
-Six weeks flies by! The clock keeps ticking no matter how I choose to act, so my actions might as well lead to health. It's easy to say, "I can have this sugar laden treat now-I have tons of time & I can work it off," but really? We can't out exercise a bad diet and 2 bad days can take a good solid week to undo. Not.worth.it! With that said, I took a few planned out & scheduled "Free" fuelings {I still kept track of them} and a couple completely out of control free fuelings-turned 1-2 days. After feeling completely awful-sick to my stomach-I decided it was much better to stay true to my program and feel good. Imagine that!
-Feeling good about myself branches out into every aspect of my life. I concentrated on making sure I got healthy movement, healthy fuel, and healthy sleep as often as possible over the past six weeks and because of that, my kids, my husband, our family, our marriage, and even our home benefited. I was happier, slower to get irritated, more energized, and more productive.
-Planning, as I've mentioned before, is HUGE! Meal planning, grocery shopping, meal prepping, scheduling…these things cannot be overemphaszed. They were a big part of my success. Meal replacements were also extremely helpful to me. I alternated between a 4&2 and 3&3 type day where 3 or 4 of my meals were meal replacements {healthy & balanced of course} and 2 or 3 were healthy & balanced whole foods meals.
-Having a support system {my husband, health coach, a few clients who did this alongside me, a friend to workout with, etc.} is vital. They kept me going, cheered for me, noticed the small improvements, and encouraged me to keep on keeping on, even when I couldn't see the changes.
So what now? Am I done? Did I celebrate "finishing" with a pizza & ice cream? Nope! I am continuing on with this healthier lifestyle and anxious to see my results in another six weeks. I'll keep you posted and if you need personal help with your goals, don't hesitate to contact me for a phone or one on one conversation to see if one of our programs is right for you. Oh and PS- not a single one of my workouts took more than 30 minutes to finish, I ate my vitamins rather than having to remember a complicated schedule of pill popping, and I ate protein, fat, AND carbohydrates. Ask me how! {firstname.lastname@example.com/541.216.2018}
I'm taking a cue from my favorite photographer and doing a TEN on TUESDAY style post today. It's a "Favorites" edition. Enjoy & share your favorites from this past week in the comments. What's lifting your spirits or making you smile this week? Here are TEN of my recent favorites:
Recipe: Roasted AsparagusClient Success Story: Wendy did awesome on plan! Such an incredible example of being a fully integrated client. She didn't treat the program like a diet and has kept the weight off because of that! She is a busy mama of EIGHT kids + runs her own business and keeps up with her family, church, and community. She still managed to commit to taking care of herself, lost the weight, and gained health! I'd love to help you! Click her pic to view larger. {Contact me for info on becoming a client or a coach: email@example.com, 541.216.2018}Exercise: Burpees
Stretch: Foam Roller Work {these hurt so good!}
Quote: "Small minds discuss people. Average minds discuss events. Great minds discuss ideas." {Eleanor Roosevelt} Husband LOVES this quote so I had it made up in vinyl for him for Easter and it's now on the wall in our bedroom. We both work hard to rise above gossip & meaningless conversation to talk about things that will move us forward in all aspects of our lives. We also realize that knowledge un-applied is practically worthless, so we're working on taking the ideas we've discussed & making them a reality.
Pin: This. Because, let's face it, some days I just want it all!
Things I'm looking forward to: I'm hosting a Mother's day brunch for my Moms, Grandmas, & Sisters this weekend, G {6} is finishing up his first soccer season this week-it's been a blast watching him improve & my BFF is coming to visit in less than two weeks!
Favorite Teacher Appreciation idea & Favorite Mother's day idea:Non Scale Victory: I lost almost 27 inches from October 20th to March 31st {and 30 pounds!}, but from March 31st to May 2nd, I lost an additional NINE inches! That tells me that the exercise & clean eating I'm doing is making a big difference. The scale is essentially staying the same, but the inches are decreasing and clothes are fitting better which means I'm replacing fat with muscle and that totally excites me!
Opportunity: Health Coaching! This is by far the most rewarding "job" I've ever had & has been such a blessing to our family financially, socially, and in countless other areas. If you live in or near Anaheim or just want an excuse to take the kids on a fun Disney vacation, come to a portion of our National Convention. Info HERE. I'd love to meet up and chat about what I get to do for a living!What are you LOVING this week?
Confession: I've struggled with the Jonah complex
What is that? Back in 2001, I found a fabulous article in Muscle Media magazine on this topic & tore it out and have saved it after all these years because it resonated with me so much. {Husband was a subscriber & thank goodness he was-that mag had TONS of useful info!} Larry Dossey, M.D., authored the article which was taken from a book he'd written titled Beyond Illness. Here are a few of my favorite direct quotes from Dr. Dossey:
"American psychologist, Abraham Maslow observed that we all have inner impulses to improve ourselves, the urge to achieve higher aims, the need to realize our inner potential. But frequently we do not. It is as if there is something that is holding us up, blocking us, obstructing what we know is possible–if only we could achieve it. Almost all of us know we could be better and do more. The question is, 'why don't we?' As Maslow said, 'We fear our highest possibilities…we are generally afraid to become that which we can glimpse in our most perfect moments, under the most perfect conditions, under conditions of great courage. We enjoy and even thrill to the Godlike possibilities we see in ourselves in such peak moments. And yet we simultaneously shiver with weakness, awe and fear before these very same possibilities. So often we run away from the responsibilities dictated {or rather suggested} by nature, by fate, even sometimes by accident, just as Jonah tried-in vain-to run away from his fate.'
The Jonah complex is an attempt, sometimes unconscious, to underachieve, to do less than the do-able.
We resent the fact that others have done what we know to do, but have not done–namely, live out our potential. Great achievers remind us of our frailty, our failings. Perhaps we know inside that they are mortals just like ourselves, and once were not great but were fleshly humans as ourselves with the same doubts and misgivings and fears. But unlike ourselves, they set them aside and overcame them. Knowing this seems to accentuate our sense of inferiority and worthlessness. In the presence of the great, there is no place to hide from our inner messages of weakness and failure. It becomes easier to hate the great than to hate ourselves…
If our bodies functioned, for example, like our cars–we would all be enormously healthy. The fact is that all efforts to improve our health go beyond our physical body to affect our emotions, feelings and spirit. Pure body health is an illusion. It does not exist. All attempts to improve the body extend to the mind and consciousness. To put it another way, health is not a matter of doing. It is a way of being. Good health places demands on us. It extends to the level of feeling, emotion, behavior–to the roots of our being. Thus, it can become uncomfortable to be health, as health as we know how to be.
As long as we divorce healthiness from feeling, we insulate ourselves from the necessity for self-scrutiny, self-knowing, for change.
Perhaps the question we should ask ourselves is not, 'Am I healthy?' but 'Am I as healthy as I know how to be?'
Jonah's story did not end tragically. His story tells us that it is possible to find our course once again, that there is nothing inexorable about the Jonah complex. We can emerge, as did Jonah, wiser, healthier, and whole."
Basically, this is a major form of self sabotage and I've struggled with it for 10+ years, mainly because I've always known what overcoming it meant…a permanent lifestyle change. Not going back to my binge eating ways. Turning my disordered eating into ordered eating {is that a thing?} for GOOD.
Like most people who are striving for personal growth in this life, I have a strong desire for a healthier self. I want a healthier mind/body/finances/spirit/relationship with loved ones, etc. BUT, also like most people who want these things, I haven't been willing to do the long term necessary hard {often painful} work that brings those changes.
until now.Something clicked last October when I started program again. I'm in it for the long haul this time. I'm excited and I'm willing. I'm focused on long term health, not just a 30 or 84 day goal. Those mini challenges are helpful & motivating, but I'm finally realizing that finishing them doesn't mean I'm "done." This–health–is a way of life. And I look forward to seeing where I'm at in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, and beyond! I can emerge-like Jonah-stronger, healthier, more confident, not running from the things that scare me, and ultimately BETTER.

Confession: sometimes my "free" meal turns into an all out free day.
I'm talking, "I'm not accountable for anything that I put into my mouth because it's my free day!" Or, "Because this is the only day of the week I'm allowing myself something 'free' {read: includes refined sugar of some sort}, I MUST eat all of the food today!" I turn into this desperate, out of control, sugar driven crazed person. And, I feel really awful. Yesterday was kind of one of those days. I had decided ahead of time I'd indulge in one or two things on Easter Sunday. I was perfect leading up to Easter, after all, and didn't partake of any of the amazing sugary goodness abounding in our home & community and everywhere else we were. I deserved it, right? My first issue was that I didn't make a plan for exactly what I wanted to indulge in. So I went into it just craving everything. If I had set a specific time/meal/item that I would have and that was it, I would have been MUCH better off {as an abstainer I need these definite sort of boundaries or I'm definitely going all the way opposite of what I want}. I just didn't feel good all day and it kept getting worse. I didn't even eat that much, but the quality of the things I did eat wasn't great. And, by the time 8:30 hit, I was sick to my stomach. It just wasn't worth it. I fell asleep with a stomachache & got 9 hours {almost unheard of for a mommy of three} and woke up this morning refreshed, with a {mercifully} empty tummy & ready to hit this week running. Also, I intend to make a definite plan for any off plan treats I decide to partake of in the future. It's not worth the headache, stomachache, and fatigue that come from choosing to overindulge.
The one encouraging thing to me was that I have been living so healthfully the past several months that I was able to quickly notice what really feeling BAD feels like. In my past life, binge eating like that was an every day thing & I didn't get sick because I already WAS sick and just didn't know how great being WELL could feel. Pretty cool realization.
If you're sick & tired of feeling sick & tired, call me! We can do this together! I'm taking a few new clients through the end of this month. 541-216-2018 or email@example.com
Confession: I am being very vulnerable today.
12 years ago when I met my husband {who was my trainer then}, he introduced me to a valuable measuring tool for health. It was about a week after I'd began training with him and I still felt very middle-school-crush type feelings when I was with him. After all, I was easily 70 pounds heavier than him and he was a very fit and very attractive guy. I was totally crushing and didn't think the feelings would ever be mutual. Then he asks me to ride to town with him? Um, yes. What I didn't know was this wasn't a joy ride or a date {I was a big dreamer, okay?!}, it was an appointment at a local gym to have our bodyfat percentages tested. WHAT? I did NOT sign up for this, Mister! Get me out of here. How mortifying!
The experience was humbling, to say the least. Of course Z made me feel completely comfortable and encouraged me that this was a great measurement number to have moving forward so we could see more of my progress. I still have that little piece of paper from the test. I was well over the 35% mark, falling into the very obese category for my age/gender/height. But, I was encouraged to think that it could only get better from there. From that point and over the next several years I worked hard. I did cardio, I lifted weights, I drank lots of water and ate six healthy meals a day. I was conscientious of what I put into my body and at my fittest, I got down to 19% bodyfat. The scale had gone down too over time-about 50+ pounds over time-but the bodyfat was a much better indicator because I had turned so much of my fat into lean muscle.
Fast forward to having three beautiful baby boys, gaining & losing weight, finding this great program and becoming a coach, and recently losing 30 pounds. The scale was at that plateau point it likes to sit at and I was frustrated. I needed a kickstart. Enter April 7th 2014. I started a 6 week spring leaning challenge. It includes 5-6 days exercise each week, healthy eating, lots of water, and utilizing body fat % as a measurement point rather than the scale alone. I weighed in on day one and had my bodyfat tested. I will do both again at the end of the six weeks.
I debated about putting these stats & pics up, but I'm nothing if not forthcoming and authentic, so here they are: {I'm 5'6"}
Starting Weight: 163.0
Starting Bodyfat %: 28.1 I am on day 11 of 42 & feeling pretty dang good. Sore, but good. I'll continue posting things I'm learning along the way + recipes/meals/workouts/tips & tricks here and on my Facebook page & Instagram account, so follow along, join in, and kick butt! Oh, and go get your bodyfat tested. The scale only tells us so much. {pic via google images}
I figured since I wrote about spaghetti squash Tuesday I'd share one of my favorite quick & easy ways to enjoy it.
First, cook your squash {easiest way for me is to poke holes in it all over using corn skewers, set it on a plate & microwave for 5 minutes. Turn it over & microwave it again for 5 minutes. Let cool a bit, cut in half, scoop out & throw away seeds, scrape out squash in spaghetti-like strands with a fork & store in a tupperware container in your fridge}.Quick Tuna Squash Dinner Bowl
Put 1-1.5 cups spaghetti squash in large bowl. Heat it.
Add 1 tsp. fave oil {olive/coconut/avocado} or 2 tsp. fave light butter {healthy fat}
Open 2 cans tuna & drain. Add 1.5 cans to your bowl {feed leftover half can to your cat or kids-they'll love it!}
Sprinkle with lemon pepper & 1/2 T. parmesan cheese.
Heat again for 20-30 seconds.
Easy, healthy, delicious! ENJOY!

His comment was that he could not go into any details about what they do, just that the number of pirate vessels heading out of port is not equal to the number who return. He implied that other nations are following similar rules of engagement.
Another cruiser met a former Royal Marine in Aden who is now employed by a company that hires out to the insurance companies that pay ransoms for commercial vessels that have been seized. Their job is to go to the ship after the ransom has been paid (well-armed) and accompany the ship until it is out of harms way. He said that they were accosted by a vessel four hours out of the Somali port and a fire fight ensued with the attackers being sunk.
If these reports are true (and that is a large 'if'), it is good to remember that just because something is not reported by CNN or the BBC does not mean that it did not occur.
BTW, there are quite a few potential circumnavigators in this region who are not prepared to go around Africa at all, and will not go the Red Sea route until there is better security.
We sure could use more such good stories. Is there a site for this?

JAMESTOWN — A day after learning of their no. 2 seed in the upcoming Division III girls sectional basketball tournament, Greeneview played up to the hype with a convincing 75-38 win, Monday night over Ohio Heritage Conference rival Cedarville.
Greeneview coach Gregg Haines understandably felt pretty good about the way his team played, during their final home game of the 2013-'14 season. His sharpshooter — senior Ashton Lovely — was as sharp as ever, scoring a game-high 30 points to go along with seven assists and six rebounds. All but one of Lovely's supporting cast scored at least a point in the win.
"It was good to get everybody some playing minutes, especially our seniors, as this was their last home game," Haines said. "It's good to see that everybody can contribute."
Sophie Sonneman tossed in a dozen points with eight rebounds for the Rams, Kristen Combs and Alexandra Rice both scored seven points and Sydnie Sonneman added six for Greeneview.
Cedarville coach Ralph E. Grant knew going in, that his team would be facing a scoring buzz saw in Greeneview (17-2), but he was pleased with the way his Indians team played. Cedarville (7-13) is the eighth seed in the Division IV sectional tourney.
"That first half was definitely better. We moved the ball and made them play some defense, and we scored some points," Grant said. "We had some turnovers, and we could've had a few more offensive rebounds that might've kept us even closer, but that's a really good Greeneview team over there.
"We've been playing a lot better this month. We had one stinker recently (a loss to Mechanicsburg), but I think the girls are playing a lot better now. I truly believe that we can get into the postseason and win a game or two, maybe even more."
Hayley Melton led the Indians with a 10-point game while Ellie Sizer finished with eight points and Hannah Grant added six in Monday's loss.
"Coach Grant does a great job. The Melton girl is a very good player, and his kids played really hard. They're a lot better than the first time we played them. They're a good, young team," Haines said of Cedarville.
The Indians led the game 3-0 early on. Sizer hit a foul shot and Helton drained a left-side jumper to put Cedarville out in front, but then Ashton Lovely did what Ashton Lovely has done all her career.
After Alexandra Rice tied the game with a three pointer, then Lovely scored 14 points over the next four minutes — with four 3-pointers and a two-point bucket — to give Greeneview the lead for good.
"Once she starts hitting threes like that, you just can't stop her," Haines said.
As long as the impending weather somehow manages to stay away, Greeneview has another test before the post season starts. They travel to Clarksville on Wednesday to play Clinton-Massie, the state's third-ranked team in Division II.
"We really want to get that game in. Massie's no. 3 in the state, … we want to play 'em. We want to see how we match up with them," Haines said.

New hope in call for West Cumbrian town hall to become police base
Last updated at 19:52, Thursday, 05 April 2012
Cumbria's police chief has indicated that police services may remain in Maryport town centre after closure of the present police station.
Chief Constable Stuart Hyde told councillors on Monday that he would consider the possibility of basing local police at the town hall in Senhouse Street.
This would be an alternative to a previously discussed idea for police to share the town's Mealpot Road fire station site.
Mr Hyde told Maryport Town Council that a plan to move police services out of the immediate town centre area was not set in concrete.
While the fire station had been mooted, he was happy to listen to other opinions.
After the meeting he confirmed that he was willing to talk to council officers about the possibility of looking at alternatives, including the town hall.
Several councillors had pleaded with Mr Hyde to give serious consideration to the town hall in order to keep PCSOs based within the town centre.
Coun Carni McCarron-Holmes said that housing police at the fire station would add to traffic problems in the Mealpot Road area, which was already busy because of the nearby railway station.
Mr Hyde said the present Eaglesfield Street police station had to close as part of police cost savings and it was no longer suitable.
Police had issued a statement late last year that PCSOs based would move into the fire station site within the year.
Mr Hyde said no decision had been made about front desk staff or public access.
Coun Angela Kendall said: "It is no secret that we want the town hall to stay open and I am sure that having the police here would help."
Local publican Moree Weir, of the Sailors Return pub in King Street, said the obvious location for the police was the town hall for ease of public access and to enable officers to keep a close eye on the town centre.
Mr Hyde was accompanied on his visit to Maryport by Chief Inspector Justin Bibby, Inspector Mark Wear and PCSO Lisa Jackson.

FEBRUARY 26, 2015: Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY) has reintroduced the Concrete Masonry Products Research, Education, and Promotion Act into the 114th Congress. The language of bill number HR-985 is largely identical to that of the bill considered in the last Congress, which provides authorization for the industry to conduct a referendum for establishing a commodity check-off program for concrete masonry products.
Kathy Castor (D-FL) again serves as the minority lead co-sponsor on the bill, which again has been referred to the Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade Subcommittee and the Energy and Commerce Committee.
Initiative spokesperson Major Ogilvie said "This approach provides us the best opportunity to fairly and effectively advance the use of concrete masonry as a modern building material. We made great headway in educating members of the last Congress, securing 267 co-sponsors. I believe that hard work will translate into passage this year."
The concrete masonry industry creates jobs directly and within the communities it serves.
Concrete masonry products reduce demand on our diminishing natural resources.
Recent natural disasters highlight the need for safe, strong buildings and homes.
Learn more about the program, its support and efforts within the industry.

You don't necessarily need to check the logs. Visually, you should see shield hit/heal numbers on the lower right of the target fly by. Normally, when a single shield heal (Sci Team, EPtS) is used, you see 4 equal numbers fly by. However, when a double shield is in action, you will see 8 numbers fly by.
In fairness though, it can be triggered accidentally and the user may not even know it. Odds of them intentionally doing it however increase if they keep triggering it every time they re-spawn.

The Haunted Mansion – RCT3
The Haunted Mansion – RCT3
(Please read full for park download instructions!)
If you wish to use my RCT3 Haunted Mansion recreation in videos, or any other format, please give credit to either Jeremy Kohrs or Kohrsfilms.
I WILL NOT allow any uncredited or falsely credited use of my recreation!
This is a video ride-thru of my Haunted Mansion re-creation on Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. I worked on this recreation of the mansion for well over a year! I hope you all like it.
If you have any RCT3 questions please post them over on the RCT3 forums. I'm really getting tired of answering everyone's questions. I haven't played the game in years! It doesn't run on my computer anymore, so I've forgotten many of the technical aspects having to do with the game. Please direct your questions to the link below.
If you would like to download my RCT3 Mansion go to this link…
Once you download the park file, put it in the My DocumentsRCT3Parks folder. Then you can open the park under Sandbox mode.
You will need to have the RCT3 Soaked expansions in order for it to work. In addition you will need the custom scenery packs listed below. You can also download all the necessary custom scenery packs from these sites.
The major custom scenery packs needed to make the mansion work are…
Main Street set 1-3 by Shyguy
Catfish Cove by Shyguy
DRP's Lightz by DarkRidePerson
Iceatcs' Timber frame by Iceatcs
The Haunted Mansion 1-4 by Disfan1
Circus Center Set by Shyguy
Expo 3000 set by Shyguy
ScreamWorx by JCat
Frameworks by Klinn
(Please note, all the above custom scenery packs are not available with the park download. Just extract the custom scenery folders to C:Program FilesAtariRollerCoaster Tycoon® 3StyleThemed.)
If you download the park, open it up in sandbox mode, and if the game automatically shuts off as it's loading. Your computer is probably not fast enough to run the mansion. The RCT3 Haunted Mansion is very detail heavy and may not be able to run on all computers due to it's size and detail.

MARION CENTER — The Lady Chucks and Chucks basketball teams opened their seasons against the Lady Stingers and Stingers of Marion Center in the second-annual Cancer Awareness Tip-Off Tournament Friday in Marion Center.
Unfortunately for both Punxsy squads, the Lady Stingers and Stingers — known for perennially strong teams — were able to thwart them in their season openers.
In the girls' contest, Punxsy — a very young team with just two seniors and no juniors — fell victim to the Lady Stingers' swarming defense in a 38-32 loss.

Students Who Struggle: Focusing on Strengths
Over my dining room table, I have a picture called Sometimes the Spirit Touches Us Through Our Weaknesses. My four year old asks about it occasionally and I tell him that it's an image of a muse, a spirit who whispers ideas into your head, touching a deformed man on his hunchback. The message, I say, is that something you may not be good at, may even be insecure about, or may be made fun of for having, might actually be your strength. At least, that's what I get out of it.
Which is interesting because I found myself thinking about this painting the other day when I was talking to some of my students.
One of them confided that he was on medication for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). Another student said he was taken off the same medication because he couldn't concentrate while on it, and both complained about their lost appetite when on the medication. Other students asked what ADD and ADHD meant, and why they needed medicine for it. The two students, both of whom felt the need to confide in what was an entire classroom of tweens, went on to explain their symptoms, and the other students, who have lived for years avoiding these particular kids in their classes, understood a little more about them in a different way.
After all, one was the kid who never stopped talking. The other was the kid who wouldn't participate or pull his weight. Clearly, it's not that way with every child with ADD or ADHD, but it was with these. Anyway, by communicating a little deeper, the class understood more. Now, I'm not saying kids need to confide or should be outed for their difficulties. That has to come from the kid, and kids rarely feel that comfortable unless you have spent a lot of time building community in your classroom. This is something that I take time to do since I want my students to produce the best that they can. The by-product is, of course, unity. This incident, however, got me thinking of the painting.
What If...?
Studies show that in the next few years, our schools will see a wider spectrum of special needs kids than ever before. And these students will not all be segregated into some program. No. They will be in our classes, integrated with our mainstream students. And we must prepare them for their futures as much as we prepare the students we have now.
What if we could sell these struggling kids on the fact that sometimes their difficulties can become their strengths? What if ADHD became a student's superpower one day? What if the stigma of autism could be harnessed, at least in a child's mind, to be seen as the nymph phase of what will be a real talent one day?
How far off am I? What if adults who struggled with differences in their childhood came forward in a targeted campaign to speak as the voices in our students' own futures? See, child, this is what I became. What if that actor or author or scientist launched a campaign that admitted their earlier struggles in an attempt to help these students through their own chrysalis years? See, child, this is what you can still become.
Education needs the support of those we produced years ago. We need more than just the schools to be the muses to these children. We need teachers, families, and our community to be helping in any way they can to pitch the concept that Sometimes the Spirit Touches Us Through Our Weaknesses.

Heather, I completely agree that our society focuses too much on peoples' weaknesses. I believe the reason society views people who learn, function or perform differently as having a weakness is because life as we know it revolves around the "norm". People are expected to function in a particular way and if that is not cohesive to a particular person's traits, then they are considered to have a weakness. Society as a whole, expects people to conform or be labeled as weak. This is especially evident in our schools. We wouldn't expect someone in a wheelchair to stand up and run a race, yet we get frustrated when a student who has ADHD can't sit in one spot and write for an hour. Why do we have unrealistic expectations for students and then label them as having weaknesses? I think our greatest assets is gaining knowledge about these "weaknesses". If we equip ourselves with information about each student, then we can capitalize on their strengths instead of patronizing their weaknesses. Let's create an environment where students are praised for their strengths, not labeled for their weaknesses.
This is a very interesting topic. It is all in the language and attitude of the teacher. This one really makes you think. I have to evaluate myself to see if I am focusing on the strengths.
I think it is important for students/teachers to try to understand ADD/ADHD. Establishing a community in your classroom is very important. This trust opens students up to sharing personal feelings, problems, and opinions freely letting others gain insight into the way that they are feeling and thinking. I teach 4th grade and all I hear about one of the students that I have is that he was in trouble all the time in 3rd grade. It is really unfortunate that he and his classmates have to be constantly reminded of his past behavior, especially when he tries so hard to be "good".
I teach in a center based program for EI students. Each student there has a "label" as to what disability they have. I love that you said "a child'sweakness can sometimes be their strength." For me, I find this to be a huge problem with the local schools in my area that send their students to us. They are so fed up with the behavior problems, that they are just ready to get rid of the student. They come to our school where we too see the behavior problems, however those students are surrounded by other students who are making the same poor choices. We provide them a consistant, highly structured environment that gives them clear boundaries and consequences for their actions. They can start to feel comfortable because they are learning how to behave in a more appropriate manner, by seeing it modeled and practiced rather than just having it preached to them. Although my students have a certain "label" they don't feel that when they walk in the doors. My hope is that we can as a society can become better with these types of kids and accept who they are, model what you like, and acknowledge that you care about them. It is amazing sometimes how just putting that little extra effort in with a student can make all the difference. These student are not any different than any other human beings. We all have a label for who we are, I am a teacher. That is my "label." I shouldn't be treated any different because of that. Just as a student with an EI or ADD or ADHD or Autism label should be considered anything different than a child/student that deserves a chance. I too love this idea of our students knowing what their label is and sharing it with others. I feel it gives my students a chance when they return to their home schools of helpin others to realize. Sometimes the negativity comes from the fear of the unknown. Well with our students becoming more educated in themselves and their peers, they can continue to pass along: A label does not change who you are as a person. It might help someone to get a better understanding of you, but a person is a person still without their label. Awesome original post Heather!
I have cerebral palsy and am a substitute teacher working on my masters in special education. I feel a connection to my disabled students and hope that I can be that one to show them that a disability doesn't have to hinder. Many of my students I see on a regular basis like that I'm "one of them" and I like it, too. I was once in their shoes, with the PT and OT and orthotics and even with the social struggles of being the "different" kid. I'm proud to say that one student with similiar c.p. to me is now in college to be a special ed. teacher. We connected over c.p. and in role reversal she's been an inspiration to me ... each student to his or her own ability and that limit is up to each one. They just need the motivation to reach their potentials.
Please see comment below...forgive me, I'm new to posting...
This is a subject very worthy of discussion and needs a shift in terminology. We have learned that it is an environment that presents a student with a challenge to learn in the manner requested of them. My teacher education was that we are facilitators of student's learning and that we need to create the environment that allows them to learn. My preference is to use the word challenge to describe what has been referred to as a learning weakness.
This is what I strive for in my special education program. I want my students to know what the label is that we adults gave them, and why. I want them to know the information that can help them build on their strengths. I want them to know that even if they have a "Learning Disability," if they have ADHD, if they have "Emotional Disturbance" and they learn different than their peers, that they too can go to college. They too can be whatever they set out to be.
And I am here to help them get there. I think it is important for students to know, as they enter into middle school, that the choices they make today effect them down the road. So when they get to high school and want to take Advanced Math, they will know that everything they have done so far has helped them get there.
In my years of teaching, I have seen my students in two types of classrooms. Some have a teacher that works hard to build on their strengths rather then work around their weaknesses. Some have a teacher that focus on making their weaknesses as their areas of need. I do see my students in the first class become more socially accepted and engaged in their own learning. I do often see the students in the latter classes to become discourage with school.
I think Heather is right. We need to build on students strengths. And give them models of people who have done the same.
Your post was inspiring and uplifting. I am a new teacher, and already have experienced negativity in the few schools I have worked for regarding how to best support students with special needs. These comments were not made in anger, rather they were made in frustration. The frustration is due to the overwhelming workload, stress, and pressure of meeting the demands of administration to acheive higher test scores. Sadly, the students who are struggling, usually get left farther behind due to pressure to keep moving forward and cover the content. I truly believe these standardized tests are not an accurate measure of what a student knows, or a predictor of how successful they will be in the future. I agree with your thought process that the students who are labeled with these "weaknessess" can acheive great success, and that we can help facilitate this by shifting the viewpoint that weaknessess can actually be strengths. Teachers can play a major role in this shift by building students' self-esteem and confidence.

Elite TV Brand Resurfaces in LED LCD TV LineAugust 4, 2011 By Nancy Klosek
The 3D Elite PRO-60X5FD ($5,999.99) and the 3D 70-inch Elite PRO-70X5FD ($8,499.99), which follows it into market in late August, carry certain proprietary picture-quality-enhancing technologies and are the fruits of a collaboration between Sharp and Pioneer, which had sold Elite-branded TVs until exiting the market several years ago. The brand's departure left specialty retailers and custom integrators scrambling for a replacement higher-margin line that carried the same cachet and build quality as Elite.
Russ Johnston, Pioneer executive vice president, Home Entertainment, pointed out during the line announcement in New York City Aug. 4 that this first-of-its-kind partnership could trace its genesis four years ago to when Sharp became Pioneer's largest shareholder. "For the past two years we've worked toward designing a TV to carry the picture-quality DNA worthy of the Elite nameplate," he said in heralding the introduction.
John Herrington, president of Sharp Electronics Marketing Co. of America, commented that the sets had been designed to satisfy the emotional connection consumers and dealers alike had forged over 25 years with the Elite brand and all it connotes, along with meeting their performance and styling expectations. "At the core of this passion is a heritage of best-in-class picture quality and performance. We've studied these benchmarks carefully, and we resolved to create a new benchmark," he said.
A major differentiating feature of the sets, which will each ship with two pairs of active-shutter 3D glasses, is a next-generation video processing circuit named Intelligent Variable Contrast – the sets' "brain," and an exclusive feature to Elite TVs – which works in tandem with other of the sets' technologies automatically to manage color, brightness and contrast parameters.
The sets take advantage of tenth-generation local-dimming full-array LED LCD panels developed by Sharp's Sakai, Japan factory. They also use Sharp's proprietary UV2A technology, yielding better light transmissivity, higher peak brightness and lower power consumption, said the company.
A tweaked version of Sharp's Quattron RGB+Y technology, which adds a yellow sub-pixel, is also part of the technology basket, as is Precision Color Plus, which employs four instead of three dots per pixel for smoother color transitions and better diagonal-line appearance, said Sharp. FluidMotion, an image smoothing technology, is said by Sharp to combine an advanced frame creation system with Elite's scanning backlight technology for a "greater than 240Hz" effect. The TVs also carry THX and ISF (Imaging Science foundation) certification.
The sets are finished with brushed aluminum and offer a less-than-two-inch cabinet depth. They also provide connectivity to various services including Netflix, Vudu, CinemaNow and YouTube, and are Skype-ready, with a camera kit available separately.
Tom Evans, Sharp's associate vice president for the Elite brand, said the sets would be available at first in "just under 600 dealers representing around 1,200 storefronts." That network includes Magnolia locations and any other Pioneer-authorized Elite dealers. He also said that advertising and promotion for the line would launch this month both online and in all major trade media.
Their market debut will also be supported on the end-user side by the Elite Advantage Live program, whereby buyers can connect to Elite's Service Center for real-time remote assistance in basic calibration, setup and picture adjustment via a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.

Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said on Saturday here that the fresh complaint filed against former Haryana Director General of Police S. P. S. Rathore by the molestation victim's brother would be treated as a First Information Report(FIR).
The victim's brother had filed a complaint seeking action against Mr. Rathore under Section 306 of the IPC (abetment to suicide).
It may be recalled that Mr. Rathore had been convicted and sentenced by a CBI court here on December 21 to undergo six months imprisonment and a fine of Rs.1,000 for molesting a teenager in August 1990. The girl had committed suicide in December 1993.
Mr. Hooda, who was talking to media persons at the general body meeting of the Haryana unit of the Congress, said that the fresh complaint filed by the girl's brother had alleged that the police officer had not only tortured him in police custody, but also "compelled" his sister to commit suicide.
He reiterated that the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which was constituted to investigate two fresh complaints filed last week by the father and brother of the victim in which they had alleged harassment at the hands of Mr. Rathore, had been asked to submit the report as early as possible to ensure justice to the family.

LAWRENCE, Kan.—The No. 56-ranked Cowgirl tennis team finished the weekend with another Big 12 win as the Cowgirls defeated the Jayhawks, 6-1, in Lawrence, Kan., on Sunday.
OSU picked up its eighth win of the season, which matches the Cowgirls' total wins from last year.
The Cowgirls (8-3, 2-1 Big 12) earned the doubles point after a crucial 8-5 win from C.C. Sardinha and Isabela Miro at No. 3.
The win at doubles was just the momentum the Cowgirls needed as they won five of the six singles matches, four of which were straight-set wins. Sardinha, Narattana and Jeremiah each picked up their second singles win of the weekend.
At No. 2, Malika Rose bounced back from a 6-2 loss in the first set and defeated Paulina Los, 2-6, 6-3, 6-1.
The lone loss for the Cowgirls came at the No. 3 spot, where Blevins fell to No. 118 Maria Belen Ludueña after a super tie-breaker.
"I'm really proud of our girls today as this was the best team win of the season," coach Chris Young said. "Kansas played well today, and we were able to take our games to another level. I was most impressed with our energy and toughness."
OSU returns to competition this week at the IMG Spring Classic in Bradenton, Fla.

Tag: sagebrush loss
Sage Grouse, Sagebrush and Science
They appear like ghosts before light: small groups of plump birds standing amongst the sagebrush. They puff up, tail feathers erect, chest extended. Large air sacs are inflated on their breasts, making a distinct plop.
I'm on the spring display grounds of the greater sage grouse, one of the arid West's most iconic birds. Each spring males gather on these grounds, known as leks, to impress females with their display.
You have to get up early in the morning and sit motionless in the high desert. But you'll be rewarded in the soft light of dawn, as sage grouse begin their show. It's not unusual 15 males vying for the attention of female grouse on a lek, a site that grouse use year after year. (I've seen more than 50 on a lek at The Nature Conservancy's Crooked Creek Preserve).
It's one of the world's most memorable wildlife spectacles. But finding it has grown increasingly difficult, as sage grouse continue to decline across their range.
Why are sage grouse on the decline? And is there anything we can do about it?

While you need to deal with leaking Water Pipe and Fittings, you need to know the right way to fix them. The process is not as complicated as it seems to be, on the contrary, you would find that the process could be accomplished in several steps. The joints connect the pipes to form the complete plumbing system and the leaks would influence the proper performance of the whole system.
Clean the pipes before attaching the new parts. Turn on the water valve and insure the sealing performance. Of course, the quality of water pipe and fittings you choose should be inspected as well. Choose the use the pipe glue to tighten the connection. According to the instruction, you need to wait a few hours to let the glue dry before using the pipes.
When you are going to fix Drainage Pipe and Fittings, you should follow the mentioned steps strictly to finish a perfect task. At the same time, you should make regular inspection and maintenance after repair.

Q: (from Bill)
I've got a Windows 8 sneak preview event next Thursday. I'm starting to build up my presentation / demo. Any topic suggestions?
First off, are you aware of Diane Golshan's blog on Windows 8 Partner Readiness Resources?
When I deliver a Windows 8 presentation, I focus on smooth transition from what they know while exposing new opportunities. I believe one of the Windows 8 value propositions is how you can do what you've always done with a keyboard and mouse on the Start Screen and the Desktop while you can use touch with the New UI Apps – all on the same device. Here's the demo that JJ shared with the team and I used at SMB Nation:
Good luck with the event and thanks for supporting Microsoft.

President Bush should ask himself what Jesus Christ would do. I mean this respectfully, because the president has said Jesus is his favorite philosopher.
