How to Lose Weight in a Week
Three Parts:DietExerciseGeneral Tips
Losing weight is tricky. For most people, it takes time. On top of that, some forms of dieting can be unhealthy at best, and counterproductive at worst. However, there is still hope. If you're serious about losing weight and want to see an immediate difference in your body in less than 7 days, follow these helpful hints.
Part 1 of 3: Diet
1Form a diet that minimizes starches, sugars, and animal fats. Starches, sugars, and fats are all tasty, but non exactly the best diet foods. Bad starches and sugars to stay away from include: potato chips, fries, white breads, pastries, soft drinks, candies, and cakes. These will all keep you from realizing your weight loss goal.Ad
2Form a diet that is rich in vegetables, fiber, and lean protein. All these foods are less prone to being converted into fat, and come packed with healthy vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Try incorporating the following foods into your diet:
- Leafy greens such as spinach, kale, mustard greens.
- Egg whites, soy products, and skinless poultry breasts.
- Fruits low in sugars, such as rhubarb, raspberries, and blackberries.
- Fish and shellfish.
- Nonfat dairy foods, such as fat-free yogurt.
3Drink water instead of sugary drinks. Many doctors recommend that males get 13 cups of water per day, which works out to 3 liters (0.8 US gal), while women are recommended to drink 9 cups per day, about 2.2 liters (0.6 US gal).[1] Water will help your immune system stay healthy, keep your skin looking great, and give you more lasting energy to do the things you need to do during the day.
- You probably already know this, but sodas, juices, and other sugary drinks aren't the way to go if you want to shed pounds off of your frame. Sugars, as mentioned above, are simple carbohydrates, an excess of which will lead to more calories. Reach for a glass of water instead! You'll see the difference.
- (Unsweetened) green tea is another good substitute for sugary drinks. Green tea contains a good amount of antioxidants, meaning that it helps your body fight against free radicals, which enhance signs of aging in humans.[2]
4Use dieting tips to form good habits. We all cheat now and then, and that's fine. But we can make it harder on ourselves to cheat in the first place, giving us an incentive to follow our diet more strictly and diligently.
- Get tempting foods out of your home. If you normally shop, ask your husband to do the shopping instead, and instruct him to buy foods only mentioned on a list. If you're younger, ask your parents not to buy problem foods like chips, ice-cream, and candy. It's harder to eat bad food if there's never any around.
- Don't graze from the refrigerator. Grazing from the fridge is bad because it's easy to lose track of how much you're eating. Instead, portion out how much food you're going to eat onto a plate, sit down at your dinner table, and stick to this routine. It will help.
- Don't eat because you have nothing better to do. Humans can be funny creatures. Often, we do things without even thinking why we do them, and eating is one of those things. Keep yourself busy and engaged so that you don't start eating out of boredom.
5Keep a food journal. Write down everything you eat and be meticulous about it. You're less likely to splurge if you have to deal with the guilt of writing it down in your journal afterward. Plus, if you keep track of your diet and one week goes particularly well, you can try replicating your diet to achieve the same results.
- Also note in your journal how you're feeling when you ate the food. Were you feeling depressed, happy, angry, or optimistic? Focusing on your emotions as well as the foods themselves can help cue you into patterns of emotional eating, if there are any.
6Eat at predetermined time, never skipping meals, and never eating late at night. It's important not to skip meals when you're dieting. Skipping meals is a recipe for binge eating when the time comes for a calorie boost. Try to eat smaller portions throughout the day, at the same time each day.
- There's a saying out there that goes: "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper." Well, it's true. A good breakfast will help you jumpstart your metabolism, keep it going throughout the day, and gently wind down as night comes. Eating right before sleeping is a bad idea because your body often doesn't metabolize all the calories, instead converting them into fat.
Part 2 of 3: Exercise
1Stretch before you exercise. It's important to get your muscles loose before you hit the ground running. Be prepared to stretch for 5 to 10 minutes — slowly and effectively — before you exercise. Stretching will keep you from getting injured; everyone knows you can't exercise when you're injured.
- Instead of traditional stretching, warm up your muscles by mimicking the workout you'll start off doing. If you're going to be hitting the treadmill, for example, try jogging in place for a few minutes. If you're gong to be swimming, try pumping your arms and feet before taking a couple slow practice laps in the pool.
2During your warm-up routine, try to break a sweat.[3] Whether your warm-up routine is lifting weights, stretching, or doing some light cardio, it's important to set the tone for the workout in the beginning by breaking a sweat. Think of it this way: breaking a sweat means you're exerting yourself more, which means you're burning more calories. The more calories you burn, the more weight you'll lose. That's a good thing.
3Keep sweating throughout your entire workout. Now that you've set the tone during your warm-up, keep the intensity ramped up. Losing weight is going to require one hour of moderate exercise per day. If that sounds like a lot, try to think of it in chunks. Don't worry about the days ahead; just think about the day you're trying to get through.
4Do one hour of cardio a day, working at a moderate pace at least. Cardiovascular exercise just means doing exercise that gets your heart rate up and keeps it there for the entire exercise. Cardio is essential for weight loss. You can't expect to lose weight if you're not going to do cardio. Some great cardio exercises include:
- The elliptical. The elliptical is that funny looking, stationary machine that you can run or jog on; it has arm supports that move when you walk/jog. A 130 pound individual doing a moderate intensity workout on the elliptical trainer can expect to burn about 670 calories per hour.
- A spinning class. Spinning is where you ride a stationary bike with an instructor for an hour. Spinning classes are butt-kicking but definitely worth it. The advantage here is that you burn a lot of calories: a 140 pound person might expect to burn about 850 calories per hour of very vigorous spinning.[4] On the downside, spinning can be quite monotonous and you'll have to push yourself for maximum results.
- Swimming. Do some laps using the freestyle motion. Learn how to do a flip turn so that you won't have to stop when you get to the end of the lap. Swimming is an excellent full-body exercise. Burn about 500 calories doing a moderate freestyle workout for an hour, and even more with a vigorous workout.[5]
5Complement your cardio with strength training. Strength training can be anything from yoga and Pilates to resistance or weight training. It's up to you. You should, however, be prepared to fit in at least two hours of strength training in per week, if not four.
- In order to tone your body with weights, stick to low weight and high repetitions. When you pick up a weight, choose one that's comfortable, one that you can use to execute a specific exercise ably more than 10 or 12 times. With weight training, try 10 repetitions of an exercise, wait a minute, then do another 10 repetitions. Repeat. Do this routine at least three times.
- Mix up your routine. Try different exercises that build strength in different muscle groups. Try lunges and squats, but also arm exercises as well; mix it up with exercises that strengthen your core. Keeping your strength training diverse will help accelerate your muscle development and calorie burn.
6Do interval training.[3] Interval training is short bursts of high intensity workout followed by longer intervals of mellow exercise, repeating throughout. Interval training allows people to lose more weight because the more you do it, the easier it becomes. Instead of working out near the peak for the full hour, you only spend 15 minutes at the peak and 45 minutes at moderate/low intensity.
7Join a sports team or intramural league. A sports team is a great way to burn calories while having fun. We've all been to the gym and had a monotonous, somewhat boring workout. Sports puts a little competitive fire into the equation; you often forget that you're working out, and feel absolutely drained afterwards. Here are some sports that you might consider trying:
- Playing full-court basketball will burn an astounding 800 calories on the average (160 pound) person.[6]
- Playing competitive soccer will burn a very respectable 740 calories on the average (160 pound) person.[6]
- Rollerskating can burn about 675 calories for the average (160 pound) person, while ice-hockey can burn about 575.[7] So join a roller- or ice-hockey league, pronto!
8Pace yourself. Again, especially when exercising, don't expect to be top dog on the totem pole right from the beginning. It takes expert trainers years to master certain techniques, and it will take time to keep your weight off. The good news is that if you pace yourself while exercising, you're less likely to feel burned-out and more motivated to finish your regimen at your maximum intensity. That's a good omen for calorie-burning.
- If you can do nothing else, walk. Walking is a good exercise for those who can't bring themselves to do other exercise because of time, scheduling, or other commitments. Even if you just walk 30 minutes per day, it's better than having done nothing at all.
Part 3 of 3: General Tips
1Burn more calories than you take in as food. This is actually the most effective way to think about weight loss. To lose one pound of weight in a day, you must burn 3,500 more calories than you take in as food. Now, you burn calories doing everyday things like walking around, picking up stuff, and even blinking, so don't go out there expecting to starve yourself. As you will learn shortly, starving yourself is a recipe for disaster! With a little bit of help, you can start burning 600, 800, or even 1,000 calories more than you bring in each day.
2Starving yourself will make you gain weight, not lose it. This is a common mistake, and it's actually unhealthy as well as counterproductive. People think that calories get stored as fat when the body doesn't use them; this is true. They then reason that calories come from food; this is also true. Their final logic is that if they starve themselves, they'll get fewer calories, and if they get fewer calories, there will be less fat to store. This is false. Why?
- When a person starves him/herself, the body realizes it is getting less food, causing its metabolism to slow down in order to save energy. When this happens, your body starts eating its muscle supply, basically, consuming lean tissue instead of fat reserves. It does this because it wants to prepare itself for a long winter without food.[8]
- The really unfortunate thing is that if you do manage to lose weight by starving yourself, it's really hard for your body to stay lean when you start eating again. Your body is so intelligent that it stores all the food as fat, because muscle takes a while to grow.
3Any quick weight-loss regimen should also be accompanied by exercise. The truth is that if you want to lose quickly, you're not going to do it merely by eating right. You will lose weight, but it will take time. Better to couple your dieting regimen with an exercise regimen designed to help you burn calories. This will help you see quicker results.
4Stress can cause weight-gain. Maybe you've been looking forward to fitting into that dress for months, only to realize that you've gained a few pounds and the fit just isn't there. You start to panic. You get stressed out. Try not to. Stress can cause the problem to get even worse!
- When your body is under stress, it released adrenaline — the fight or flight hormone. But your body also releases cortisol, another hormone. When the adrenaline wears off, which happens quickly, all that's left is the cortisol. The cortisol causes us to want to eat, because we've spent precious energy using our adrenaline to potentially save our life. It's our way of replenishing our system.[9]
- Other times, eating becomes the mechanism that helps fight the stress. Ever grabbed for that ice-cream after you boyfriend broke up with you? We've all been there. It's a way — an unhealthy one — for us to relieve our stress. It feels comforting.
5Results will take time. If your goal is to lose 2 pounds in 7 days, that's probably doable. If your goal is to lose 7 pounds in 7 days, it's not going to happen. On top of that, it's not healthy. Be reasonable about what your goals are so you don't get down on yourself when you fail to meet them.
- Too many people expect immediate results and then get discouraged when they aren't able to see them. Well, life isn't fair, and it's never easy, is it? With a lot of things in life, but especially weight-loss, slow and steady wins the race.
We could really use your help!
Calculating Volume and Area?
- Drink plenty of water.
- Eat more food with high fiber, as this keeps you filled up longer so that you would not be tempted to eat more food later on.
- Start off with a daily 30-minute reasonably brisk walk.
- Drink of green tea at least 3 times a day. You may notice a great change. Tea is like a natural laxative.
- Build up your stamina to exercise at least 1 hour a day, especially if you want to lose weight fast.
- Don't over-do the exercise on the first day/s to the point of exhaustion. It will de-motivate you, and may even damage your muscles.
- Do not get upset if you do not lose weight at the rate you wished for. Just persevere, and you will succeed.
- Eat slowly small bites and eat foods that will take longer to digest so you feel full for longer.
- It is advisable to eat small meals, instead of three large meals.
- Eat plenty of vegetables with each meal.
- Before exercising, don't forget to do warm-up exercises. This helps stretch your muscles so you won't strain them once you start with your exercise.
- Before buying any food, look for carbohydrates, calories and sugar in the ingredients. You'll want to cut down on all three.
- Don't just stop eating; you might lose weight quicker, but it takes a long time to recover your health and stamina, and you will just gain all the weight back eventually.
- Always eat at least three servings of fruits and five servings of vegetables a day.
- If you find that exercise isn't your thing because it's boring, take a fun step class with loud music and a great instructor. Try Zumba twice a week, alternating with a mixture of cardio and strength training. This switches things up a bit so you don't get so bored.
- Eat at least 600 calories per day. Otherwise you could fall ill. And burn at least 100 calories more than you eat.
- If you don't change your eating and exercise habits permanently, you will simply gain it all back.

The Discovery process is the first step in determining whether a RiskMAP project is needed within the Santa Clara River Watershed. The goal of the Discovery process is for FEMA to work more closely with communities and stakeholders to better understand the local flood risk and mitigation efforts and to encourage watershed-wide discussions about increasing resilience to flooding. The information exchanged between FEMA and the community during Discovery will improve our understanding of your flood hazard mapping, flood risk, mitigation planning, and communication needs.
The final Discovery Report is available in the project documents listed below.
FEMA will update one effective Flood Insurance Rate Map Panel (FIRM) and the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) Report for Los Angeles County to incorporate the detailed riverine analysis for 2 miles of unnamed streams within Palos Verdes Estates.

What is an aid station?
The aid stations, consisting of 12-15 people, provide water, snacks and first aid to the runners. The aid stations are spaced about 2 miles apart for each of the courses. In total, there are 16 aid stations for the half marathon and full marathon.
What groups provide aid stations?
Most of those groups providing aid stations in the Mayor's Midnight Sun Marathon have been non-profits organizations. There have been a few sponsored by businesses such as Conoco Phillips and the Alaska Club. Corporate-sponsored aid stations volunteer their employees and their families, giving them the opportunity to be involved with the community, to interact with their colleagues in a different setting and to bring attention to the company on the race course, and possibly in the local media.
If you are is interested in providing an aid station at future Mayor's Marathon events, please contact the aid station coordinator TJ Garlatz at 907-786-6022 or email@example.com. We provide you with detailed instructions and assistance on how to set up and operate the aid station.
What would a marathon be without aid stations?
Aid station personnel also inspire and motivate the runners. Having a well-operated, enthusiastic aid station contributes to the runner's experience and success. While the accomplishment of running a marathon can shape personal lives in tremendous ways, it is also a rewarding experience for the aid station staff.
What is the aid station contest?
For both the marathon and half marathon event, there will one winning aid station that does the best job of supplying the runners with energy drinks and snacks, and who provides a fun, supportive atmosphere for the runners who pass. Each aid station is encouraged to find a theme that might be reflected in the ways aid station volunteers cheer on runners, decorate the aid station, and implement creative ways of getting the runners' attention.
Each winning aid station will be awarded $500, and its picture will appear on the event webpage and in the Coast magazine's special edition for next year's Mayor's Marathon event.
Thanks to all the aid station organizers and their groups which were involved in the 2014 Mayor's Marathon events!

Help Needed- 'pressed red' clay bricks Adelaide
As title suggests, looking for about 30 solid 'pressed red' clay bricks. Need them for the chimney and dome entrance, if you have any full size ones lying around please let me know.
Looking around all the suppliers in Adelaide and they're all sold out, found out they're manufactured by Austral and they haven't been making them for about a year due to plant renovation.
Must be in 'as new' condition because they'll be exposed and visible. Not after the rustic look.
I've seen the littlehampton bricks but not impressed with the finish
If anyone has some, or know of someone, that would be greatly appreciated.

2008 was all about the genome - or rather, how companies could make money out of it. But geneticists are also shining new light on human behaviour, and well as rooting out some fascinating insights into how life may have evolved in the first place.
NewScientist.com is now making free all in-depth articles from the past 12 months. In case you missed them, here are the top 10 best features on genetics.
Me and my genome
For around $1000, you can now have your DNA analysed and get an unprecedented glimpse of your own genetic blueprint. But are the results life-changing or just a passing bit of fun? To find out, New Scientist asked six people who have done it.
DNA dating: Can genes help you pick a mate?
Online dating has really taken off, but why do so many relationships fizzle when the people actually meet? Perhaps it's because they're not biologically compatible, say two companies that offer to test potential partners for genetic suitability and weed out the non-starters. One New Scientist reporter puts her relationship on the line.
Are political leanings in the genes?
If sexual attraction is written in the genome, what about more complex traits like political beliefs? According to an emerging idea, political positions are determined by biology to a large degree and can be stubbornly resistant to reason.
Genes make mice squeal during sex
Genes have been identified that cause mice to produce ultrasonic squeaks of delight just before they have sex. The genes are involved in the production of the brain chemicals that mediate emotions, in mice as well as men, leading psychologists to conclude that mice squeak when they are in a good mood.
Cloning 'resurrects' long-dead mice
Jurassic Park, eat your heart out. Healthy mice have been cloned from the cells of dead mice that had been frozen for 16 years, raising the possibility that endangered species could be cloned from old carcasses. The finding also raises hopes of being able to resurrect extinct animals that have been frozen in permafrost, such as the woolly mammoth.
Genetically modified humans: Here and more coming soon
Children with three parents might sound monstrous, but a research team in the UK is trying to create three-parent embryos in order to prevent children from inheriting a rare group of serious diseases caused by faulty mitochondria.
MicroRNAs: The cell's little emperors
An entirely new type of drug is being developed that targets minuscule snippets of RNA which influence just about every process in our bodies. Blocking these tiny RNAs, or mimicking their effects, could lead to new treatments for everything from infections and cancer to ways to help repair damaged organs. What's more, such drugs will be far simpler to design, test and manufacture than conventional ones.
Solar-powered sea slug harnesses stolen plant genes
A lurid green sea slug has been discovered that runs on solar power, photosynthesising with chloroplasts "stolen" from the algae it eats. Even more amazing, when researchers analysed the sea slug's DNA, they found that one of the algal genes that controls photosynthesis was also present, indicating that the slug had probably stolen that too.
Cancer special: Living with the enemy
Cancer is being transformed into a chronic disease, rather than a death sentence, thanks to an increased understanding of the genetic changes that drive tumour growth. Personalised cancer treatments are on the way that should remove many of the side effects associated with traditional chemotherapy, and pave the way for longer, healthier lives.
Goldmine bug DNA may be key to alien life
A bacterium nicknamed "the bold traveller" has been discovered 2.8 km below the Earth's surface in a goldmine. A community of a single species is almost unheard of, as it means the species must extract everything it needs from an otherwise dead environment. Its unique ability to live in complete isolation of any other living species could be the key to life on other planets.

Kitsunemori on sale!
As I expected, no payment for my book materialized by the end of the deadline I set. I actually didn't have any hope of it happening; these people have been leading me on for a year and a half, so it's time to make good on my threat: as soon as I have some time, Kitsunemori will be on sale through my store section, at a lower price than it sells on online stores.
Now… should I go the extra mean step and actually advertise it on PW ads on RPG-related sites?
[EDIT] Well, it's up now; get it while it's hot!

March 3, 2006
WORCESTER, Mass. - Senior guard Kevin Hamilton, junior guard Keith Simmons and sophomore center Tim Clifford combined to score 53 points and the Crusader defense held Navy to 39 percent shooting on the night as Holy Cross cruised to a 78-50 win over the Mids on Friday in Patriot League quarterfinal action at the Hart Center. The second-seeded Crusaders improve to 19-11 overall and advance to the semifinals where they will face third-seeded Lehigh on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. The Mids finish their season with a 10-18 record.
Hamilton, Simmons and Clifford were all in double figures at halftime as Holy Cross jumped out to a 43-28 lead after holding Navy scoreless for nearly seven minutes midway through the half. During the drought, Holy Cross built a 16 point lead (33-17) on the strength of an 18-2 run, which was capped off by a Simmons jumper at the 4:19 mark. Five different Crusaders scored during the run.
Holy Cross shot 50.0 percent in the first and scored 15 points off of nine Navy turnovers, while converting 6-of-10 free throws. The Mids shot 48.0 percent, but only managed to get to the line three times (1-for-3) in the first stanza.
In the second, Navy cut the lead to 10 (48-38) following two free throws by Kaleo Kina with 15:37 on the clock, but the Crusaders did not let the visitors get any closer and held the Mids to just 12 points the rest of the way, as they extended their lead to 28 points by game's end.
Holy Cross finished the game 29-for-60 (48.3 percent) from the floor and totaled 19 assists on those 29 baskets. The Crusaders were also dominant on the glass throughout the game and won the rebound battle, 42-26.
Hamilton finished the game with 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting and recorded his third double-double of the season, as he also grabbed a game-high 10 boards. In addition, he totaled four assists, three steals and a block. Simmons also had 19 points and pulled down seven rebounds, while Clifford recorded 15 points, two rebounds, two blocks and two assists. Junior guard Torey Thomas had a solid all-around game with six points, six assists, five rebounds and three steals.
In the other bracket, top-seeded Bucknell will face American in the semifinal round at 1:00 on Sunday afternoon in Lewisburg, Pa.

H. Beatty Chadwick
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2010)
H. Beatty Chadwick (b. 1936) is the American record holder for the longest time being held in civil contempt of court.[1] In 1995, a judge ruled that Chadwick hid millions of U.S. dollars in overseas bank accounts so that he would not have to pay the sums to his ex-wife during their divorce.[2] He was incarcerated until such time as he could present $2.5 million to the Delaware County Court. Chadwick maintains that the money was lost in a business transaction and therefore he cannot surrender money he does not possess.
On July 10, 2009, Chadwick was ordered released from prison by Delaware County Judge Joseph Cronin, who determined his continued incarceration had lost its coercive effect and would not result in him surrendering the money.[3]

From rave reviews to overwhelming footfalls, Aamir Khan's "Talaash" has hit the bull's eye, despite the fact it has come out during non-festive season. Trade pundits predict that the film is likely to collect Rs.15 crores on its opening day.
Usually, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan choose to release their films during holiday season in a bid to attract more audiences, however, Aamir defied the norm by releasing "Talaash" during a non-festive weekend.
If trade pundits are to be believed the film is likely to rake in Rs.15 crores net at the Indian box office on the very first day.
The suspense thriller, starring Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor, is expected to beat the opening collections of "Raaz" (Rs. 10.50 crore), "Bol Bachchan" (Rs 11.75 crore), "Cocktail"( Rs 10.75 crore), "Raajneeti" ( Rs 10.50 crore), "Barfi!" (Rs 8.5 crore) - which too released on a non-holiday Friday.

The Borders Between Us: On Building and Bridging the Divide
By Louis Mendoza, associate professor and chair of the Department of Chicano Studies at the University of Minnesota. IHRC Affiliated Faculty.
This week's immigration news was dominated by proclamations either celebrating or condemning President Bush's signing into law a new homeland security bill that includes a 1.2 billion dollar appropriation for building 700 miles of fence along the U.S.-Mexico border to stem unauthorized immigration.
In statements made upon signing the bill, the president continues a rhetorical strategy that walks a tightrope between liberal and conservative views on immigration reform by claiming a middle ground that links border security and terrorism and ignores the underlying social and economic issues that undergird the ongoing national debates on immigration reform: "It's what the people in this country want," Bush said. "They want to know that we are modernizing the border so we can better secure the border." (Bush signs homeland security bill). What he also fails to acknowledge is the international disdain for the U.S. precipitated by this extreme measure that threatens to strain not only U.S.-Mexico relations (U.S. Border Fence Plan Upsets Mexicans), but the U.S.'s reputation throughout Latin America and the rest of the world. Though the total number of deaths of immigrants crossing the border extra-legally was down from 446 to 426 this past year, numerous news reports noted the potential of the law's passage to have deathly consequences for immigrants who, as a result of the new wall, are likely to be forced to try evermore dangerous routes through the desert to cross into the U.S. (Migrant deaths down along border).
Perhaps due to the inability of national leaders to provide leadership by finding a middle ground in the debate and passing legislation representing the broad range of perspectives, new strategies have emerged at the local level to try and address the controversial issue. Like the debates in Congress, local enforcement initiatives in Carpentersville, Illinois and Escondido, California, expose a seemingly irreconcilable social divide that raises more questions than they answer'Äîquestions that are not easily addressed if looked at only through the lens of enforcement. This is especially true, when legislation like those in these initiatives seem to be driven by a desire to return to an era preceding this last great wave of immigration. Both communities passed legislation this past week making it a crime for landlords to rent to undocumented immigrants. The Carpentersville initiative takes enforcement to a new level by including provisions that punish businesses and landlords who employ, do business with or rent to undocumented immigrants. Needless to say, local commercial interests are not supportive of the ordinance, and believe that it will hurt the village'Äôs financial standing in a variety of ways (Concerns Grow Over Village's Immigration Ordinance). In both cities, the ordinances sparked great controversy about the 'Äúinhumanity'Ä? of such restrictions. In Escondido, a city of 142,000 where 42% of the population is Latino, 'Äúresidents, businesses and city officials can file written complaints with the city if they suspect a landlord is renting to illegal immigrants. Complaints based 'Äòsolely or primarily on the basis of national origin, ethnicity, or race shall be deemed invalid,'Äô the ordinance says.'Ä? In contrast, the mayor of nearby National City declared the city an immigrant sanctuary last week. (Escondido council OKs immigration ordinance).
Rapid demographic change has obliged many regions of the country that were once primarily bi-racial or racially homogenous to reflect on the social and cultural changes occurring around them. In some parts of Georgia, where the racial divide has traditionally been black and white, the enormous influx of Latino immigrants, has resulted in tension between these two communities as they compete for jobs and confront media stereotypes and ignorance about each other despite a shared history of racial discrimination from mainstream society (A Racial Rift That Isn't Black and White). Whether it is in Baptist churches in Georgia or in the Church of Latter Day Saints in Utah, in religious leaders across the country are discovering that they have an important role to play in facilitating respectful and cohesive relationships within congregations that are becoming increasingly diverse. For congregations like the LDS, the changing population is to be embraced, not shunned. "Latinos will represent more than 50 percent in the LDS Church by the year 2020" (After a 'culture of continuity). Unlike many places in the country where intense xenophobia has emerged due to rapid change, an otherwise conservative Utah has, until now, mostly welcomed new arrivals with open arms. However, some of the socially progressive policies they have adopted like driving privilege cards and in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants are under attack by the local Minutemen chapter (Immigrants turn Utah into mini-melting pot).
It's fairly clear that we can't create the world we want to live in by legislative decree alone. Though policy is the purview of politicians, we must be mindful that they should be taking the lead from those they represent and not get mired down by myopic media sound bites and the next election on the horizon. Bridges connect, walls divide. The legal and material questions at stake in the immigration debate are worth our most serious consideration; so, too, are the kind of culture and society we create as we redefine ourselves in relation to others through this process.

'American Idol': Sons of Sylvia still have 'Love Left to Lose'
Sons of Sylvia played the "American Idol" results show on Wednesday (April 28)!
Oh, you might remember them when they went by the name The Clark Brothers (Ashley, Austin and Adam Clark, to be exact) and won FOX's one-season reality show "The Next Great American Band" two-and-a-half-years ago.
Or not.
Anyway, that's who Sons of Sylvia are ... and were ... and they were back on FOX in a pre-taped segment alongside Shakira, Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum, performing "Love Left to Lose" from their new album "Revelation."
Appearing on "American Idol" isn't the highlight of their year though. They're also the opening act on Carrie Underwood's "Play On" tour.

London — President Mwai Kibaki has said Kenya is an investment destination of choice and called upon investors in the United Kingdom and across the world to take advantage of the lucrative investment opportunities available in the country.
Speaking on Tuesday when he officially opened the Kenya Investment Conference at Lord Mayor's Mansion House, London, President Mwai Kibaki outlined the measures that have been put in place to create a conducive investment environment in the country.
He singled out the enactment of the new constitution as one of the measures that has gone a long way in creating an environment hospitable to investment.
Said the president: "Two years ago, we enacted a new Constitution, which among other things, guarantees the rights of investors, and establishes strong governance structures."
The president further said Kenya had also witnessed a major transformation in infrastructure development saying that a massive programme of road construction and rehabilitation across the country has been carried out.
"We have also upgraded our airports and increased efficiency at the port of Mombasa and other border points," he added.
President Kibaki also noted that the Government of Kenya has facilitated massive investments in the energy sector in an effort to increase electricity supply for the fast growing economy.
In addition, President Kibaki pointed out that the government has invested heavily in the ICT sector saying that a combination of innovation, effective regulation, and massive investment by the private sector has led to the rapid growth of mobile telephony as well as internet use.
The president said that today "Kenya is a world leader in the area of mobile banking which currently serves close to 20 million people in the country and beyond."
On the specific investment opportunities available, President Kibaki said most of them are flagship projects of Kenya's economic growth blue print, Kenya Vision 2030, which seeks to transform Kenya to a middle income country in the next few years.
"They include ICT projects, development and expansion of airports, construction of highways and railways as well as the establishment of tourist resorts and conference centres," said President Kibaki.
The president further said the energy sector also offers exciting investment opportunities adding that oil has recently been discovered in the northern part of Kenya and the country is awaiting final confirmation of its commercial viability.
"Kenya has huge amounts of untapped geothermal, wind and solar energy. These renewable sources of power have the potential to make Kenya one of the world's largest producers of green power," the president added.
The president assured investors that his government has put in place a conducive legal and fiscal framework to facilitate private sector investment in geothermal and wind resources.
In addition to these areas of investment, President Kibaki said that the greatest opportunities lie in manufacturing, agricultural value addition, as well as rare earth minerals mining and processing.
On bilateral relations, the president hailed the fraternal ties between Kenya and the United Kingdom saying the two countries have enjoyed excellent political and economic relations for many years.
"These ties have provided opportunities for education, training, trade, tourism and investment between us," said the president.
The president further noted that the United Kingdom is one of Kenya's leading trading partners. "Over 70 British companies have invested in our country. And recently, the British government has singled out Kenya as one of the top three countries in Africa with which they wish to deepen trade and economic relations," he said.
President Kibaki added that his government welcomes the strengthening of these economic relations for the mutual benefit of the two countries.
Speaking during the opening, Rt Hon. Alderman David Wootton, The Lord Mayor of London and host of the Investment Conference lauded the Kenya government for marketing investment opportunities in the countries saying the UK is seeking to find and increase opportunities for British business in all markets.
As the Mayor of London, the Rt Hon. Wootton said he promotes British expertise and builds business partnerships in UK and abroad in finance, infrastructure and manufacturing among other areas.
"By building up markets abroad, we create business opportunities, jobs and growth at home as well as in other countries," said Alderman.
The further said that he looked forward to the signing of a memorandum of understanding on how the City of London will support Nairobi's own development as a financial centre.
On his part, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office Henry Bellingham, hailed the Kenya Government for the progress the country was making in national development.
He noted that the prospects for the Kenyan economy, as other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, was promising.
He called for peaceful elections in the forthcoming general elections saying a smooth transition will further build on the favourable investment climate in the country.
Other speakers included the Director General, Commonwealth Business Council, Mr. Peter Longworth, Kenya's Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Ongeri, Finance Minister Njeru Githae, Minister for Planning, national Development and Vision 2030, Wycliffe Oparanya, among others.
Also participating and making presentations in the conference were corporate and public sector officials Kenya Commercial Bank Chief Executive Martin Oduor-Otieno, Stephen Jennings, Chief Executive Officer, Renaissance Capital, Manu Chandaria, Chairman - Chandaria Group of Companies, KenGen Chief Executive Eddy Njoroge, Joe Wanjui, Brand Kenya CEO Rosemary Kimonye, Investment Secretary Esther Koimet and Vision 2030 CEO Kibati Mugo, among others.

South Carolina is No. 7 and Clemson is No. 13 in Baseball America's 2014 preseason Top 25 rankings released Monday. Virginia is No. 1.
While the first pitch hasn't been thrown yet, the rankings reflect the strength of the Atlantic Coast Conference - which has not won the College World Series since Wake Forest took the title in 1955.
N.C. State is No. 5 and Florida State No. 6 in the rankings. Miami is No. 16, North Carolina No. 17 and Louisville No. 20.
The Gamecocks are the highest ranked Southeastern Conference team, but the SEC has eight teams in the top 25. Others include No. 8 Mississippi State, No. 9 LSU, No. 10 Vanderbilt, No. 21 Alabama, No. 23 Florida, No. 24 Texas A&M and No. 25 Arkansas.
South Carolina opens the 2014 season on Feb. 14 at home against Bucknell.
Clemson opens on Feb. 14 at home against Eastern Michigan.

With guards Andrew and Aaron Harrison tweeting news of their decisions to return to Kentucky on Friday, John Calipari's team should be just fine in the backcourt too.
"ONE MORE YEAR #BBN #strivefor9," Andrew Harrison said.
"Glad to say that I will be back at UK for my sophomore year. #BBN," Aaron Harrison said minutes later.
The announcement triggered a torrent of excitement on the part of UK fans, an understandable feeling given the key roles the two 6-foot-6 twin brothers played in leading their team to the national championship game.
Explaining his decision to return just two days before the NBA's deadline to declare for the draft, Aaron Harrison cited that NCAA Tournament run.
"I'm coming back for a second season in large part because last year's title run was special, but we still have unfinished business," Aaron Harrison said.
Aaron Harrison started all 40 of UK's games as a freshman, averaging 13.7 points and 3.0 rebounds. Memorably, he hit game-winning 3-pointers against Louisville, Michigan and Wisconsin to lift UK to within one victory of the ninth national championship the Cats will pursue again in 2014-15.
Andrew Harrison -- who started 39 games at point guard and averaged 10.9 points and a team-high 4.0 assists -- had that on his mind when he decided to bypass this year's draft.
"I'm returning for my sophomore season because I want to win a national title." Andrew Harrison said.
Calipari will of course be looking to coach UK to that national championship, but his first thought was about how he expects them to develop as they come back to Lexington.
"I'm excited about Aaron and Andrew's decision to return for next season," head coach John Calipari said. "Their postseason play was a result of the improvement they made all season and displayed what they're capable of doing on the court. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with them during the summer and watch them lead next year's team."
The team they will lead features a remarkable stockpile of talent. The Harrison twins are among nine McDonald's All-Americans on UK's 2014-15 roster. Willie Cauley-Stein -- who likely would have been a first-round draft pick this season had he declared -- is not included in that group.
Cauley-Stein was the first of six Wildcats to announce he would return to UK and was followed by Marcus Lee, Alex Poythress, Dakari Johnson and finally the Harrison twins.
They will combine with fellow scholarship returnees Derek Willis and Dominique Hawkins to give Coach Cal his most experienced Kentucky team. Players responsible for 64.6 percent of UK's minutes played in 2013-14, 59.3 percent of its scoring, 54.2 percent of its rebounds and 67.3 percent of its assists will again be in the fold.
They will be joined by yet another highly touted recruiting class featuring Karl-Anthony Towns, Trey Lyles, Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis. Not long after the twins' decision, three of those incoming freshmen had already weighed in on social media, among others.
Congrats to @AaronICE2 and @DrewRoc5 for making the decision to come back to UK and chase number 9. #BBNine #BBN #weareUK-- Karl-Anthony Towns (@KATis32) April 25, 2014

'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia': Charlie Day on FXX, Season 9 and The WaitressAdd to Favorites | It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
A new season of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" has arrived, and it's one of the shows being used to launch a brand new network, FXX. At the network's launch party Tuesday (September 3), Zap2it caught up with "Always Sunny" star Charlie Day to talk about what fans should look forward to from the upcoming season.
"I can't wait for them to see 'The Gang Broke Dee', which is a pretty funny episode," Charlie says. "You get to see her do stand up again." Day also talks about an episode where the gang tries to win an award for the bar, a not-so-subtle wink to the show never getting any love come award season, and what he calls a "high-concept" episode that features an animated sequence.
As for Charlie's undying and often creepy love for The Waitress (Day's real-life wife Mary Elizabeth Ellis), he says, "He's not getting anywhere fast, but there's a couple great moments this year." Charlie previously told Zap2it that the animated sequence mentioned for the high-concept episode features what might happen if a relationship from the two happened. However, he admitted, "The reality of the two of them working out, I'm not sure about that."
Charlie also talks about moving to FXX, saying it's good the network actually trusts the show enough to lead the charge. "It's like the wild west. It's a new area for us to launch more shows and we're going to need shows if we're going to start a network. So, I'm excited for the opportunity for shows to be pitched."
"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" Season 9 premieres with "The Gang Broke Dee," Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET on FXX. To find out how to get FXX on your TV, check out GetFXX.com.

The BW came in three sizes 80cc(two stroke), 200(four stroke) and 350(four stroke). The 200 and 350 are adult-sized and use ATV tires.
When the BWs were discontinued, the TW soldiered on with it's thinner tires and 200cc air cooled motor. Yamaha used the last 20 years to aggressively upgrade the bike with a disk front brake and some new stickers.
Finally: I had to use spellcheck to get Argentina to look correct, so I don't know if any BWs were imported there. Does anyone else know?
Mr. BigWheel
Thanks for your answer, but now, after having a little look at your You tube channel, I understand all the different uses of the BW..
And also I realize how stupid my questions were..
I think it would be a good idea to tell you that my NX is a 150cc one, and not a 250cc, like those that are round there in the USA..
I'm fixing it a little, the previous owner claimed that it was indestructible, but, i have to do some swaps on parts of the engine like the timing chain and the secondary axis. (I don´t know the word in english for this part, it is the axis where the little sproket goes attached) I'm getting some money for doing that things, with some help from a relative (I'm just 17, je), but lukily, meanwile, the bike takes me everywere...
Well, I guess I wrote a bit too much, didn't I?
And the last thing..
Have you looked at the all modified TW of "Gizmodrome" or something like that?
You could get some cool ideas from that one..
Thanks for everything, now, I'm going to watch some more "Enduro Alaska" videos!
Please, give the BW a more important role! I just see KTM's there!

Acer Liquid review: Android breed
The Android meter is ticking. Acer want a piece of the pie. We all add two and two together. Yesterday, Acer didn't know the first thing about phones (if you can say that for a household name in notebooks), today they're betting on two horses in the mobile OS race. After their neoTouch running on Windows Mobile 6.5, Acer decided to dip their toe into another kind of water - the free and open source world of Android. This time attention goes to the Liquid - the company's second Snapdragon powered device.
We have to admit we weren't as impressed as we wished by the neoTouch and its almost naked Windows Mobile OS. It was less the price and more the really strong competition that drew our attention away from it.
We're certain it's not how Acer planned it to be and their answer was immediate - the sexy Liquid powered by Android 1.6. Just like the neoTouch, a Snapdragon core is ticking inside the Liquid and does all it can to run the OS flawlessly despite the slightly lower clock rates.
Key features
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support
- 3G with HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA 2Mbps
- Android OS v1.6 with Acer UI 3.0
- 3.5" capacitive touchscreen of WVGA resolution
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8250 768 MHz CPU, 256 MB RAM
- 5 megapixel autofocus camera with video recording
- Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and GPS receiver
- Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate and turn-to-mute
- Digital compass
- Standard miniUSB port for charging and data
- Stereo Bluetooth (A2DP)
- microSD card slot with support for up to 16GB cards (2GB one included)
- Standard 3.5mm audio jack
- Direct access to the official Android Market
Main disadvantages
- Camera lacks flash or lens cover, has outdated features
- No smart dialing, no voice dialing, no video calling
- No web Flash support
- Acer UI 3.0 offers only minor changes to the original interface
- Somewhat limited 3rd party software availability
- No DivX or XviD video support or a third-party application to play that
- Poor MP4 playback performance - any videos over QVGA res are barely watchable
- No proper file manager out of the box
- No TV-out port
- No FM radio
Both lists give us a sense of deja-vu. It was a similar case with the neoTouch, but this time the situation is a bit different. Some of the Liquid's weaknesses are inherent to the Android OS (especially its first iteration, the Donut). It's not that they won't count against, but it's at least fair to note most of those are not Acer's fault.
Anyway, the Liquid will be measured against the likes of HTC Magic, HTC Hero, Samsung Galaxy and Samsung Galaxy Spica and it sure has a few things to offer that they won't. WVGA resolution and sky-high processing speeds are enough of an edge against competitors. The excellent capacitive screen and all-round connectivity are perhaps no news for the Android species.
So, Acer are newcomers but they're keen to bring value. Let's see how their Android fits in that plan.

My husband and I recently stayed at the North Fork Mountain Inn for a 2-night getaway. We stayed in a terrific suite, which was very well kept and very clean. Ed and Carol were very hospitable - e ate dinner on site both nights and enjoyed great food for both the dinners and breakfasts. We also thoroughly enjoyed the hike to the summit of the North Fork mountain and enjoyed massages on site with John. Would definitely recommend!

My long time friend took me here for my 50th birthday - what a treat! The Inn is lovely - cozy and comfortable. Our cabin was beautiful and felt brand new. Ed and Carol were wonderful hosts. We hiked the mountain all day with our packet lunch - thanks Ed - and returned ready for our wine tasting,5-course gourmet meal - it was an incredible experience! Lastly, we enjoyed the most relaxing and fantastic massages. I cannot wait to return with my husband for our anniversary!

My husband and I recently spent a few nights at the inn. What a great place. It was definitely quiet and relaxing. Ed, Alli and TJ all took care of us. The food was fantastic, the suite we had was really clean and comfortable. We enjoyed meeting new people at breakfast and dinner and chatting away the hours in our rocking chairs on the porches. We got to play with Alli's new puppy Berkley. I can't wait to go again to see how much he has grow. What a wonderful time, we could not of ask for more!

We stayed last week at this lovely Bed And Breakfast. What a wonderful experience! The Inn is most charming. Can not say enough good things about the inn keepers and staff. The folks are so accommodating and the food was excellent. The view of Smoke Hole Canyon is amazing. We will definitely return. Thanks to Ed, Carol, and Allie.

My husband and I went to North Fork Inn for our honeymoon. It was our first BnB experience, and we are happy to say, we are now BnBers for life. Upon arriving, we saw a herd of white tail deer. The atmosphere was perfect for a couple just looking to relax. The rooms exceeded our expectations, and were all very comfortable. Carol was a fantastic inn keeper, and accommodated our needs. We found out that Ed typically cooks for the Inn and was away, but we were very impressed with the Carol's cooking. We liked the food so much, we took home several recipes. We enjoyed lounging in the main area, relaxing in the hot tub, sitting next to the fireplace, sitting out on the patio reading, and knowing that we could hike around if we wanted to. We were able to book massages, and were completely impressed by the set up for one of the most healing massages either of us have had. We have since recommended this BnB to all our friends and family.

Ed and Carol do it right. This Inn is gorgeous. Everything is incredibly well thought out. I was surprised at how considerate they were in placing artistic maps on the wall to help people get used to the area. The surroundings are equal to the Inns beauty (and even surpass it, which is impressive). For those who love the outdoors, this place is as good as it gets. State parks abound, nature areas are at every turn, the drive alone is gorgeous. The food at North Fork Mountain is incredible. The service unbeatable. But the best part is this: Ed and Carol are truly beautiful people. If you come here, you will not regret it.

Wonderful Hospitality, Fabulous Food, Beautiful Rooms, very clean, Spectacular Views. This was the best place to stay. Very comfortable, lots to do. Hiking, Hot Tub under the stars, champagne in the rooms ( if ordered ). I would recommend the North Fork Mountain Inn to all my friends. I can't wait to go back.

We have discovered a few nice places, here and in Europe. I lift my hat off for such a remotely located little quality oriented compound. We are a family of four with a couple of teenagers who were taught the bad habits of luxury. The 1.9 miles one way trail to the top end of the ridge was fabulous. The second most important quality for us is service. You get it 100% and my 15 year old daughter calls it "hospitality". Ed, Carol, and team were very hospitable. We are coming back. The no cell signal is very cool nowadays. Keep it up ! Consistency is going to be key for long term success. The gravel road is something...

This secluded inn is perfect in every way. The beautiful setting with a view that goes on for miles is just the beginning. The owners, Ed and Carol are exceptional hosts. The breakfast and dinners are beautifuly presented and very tasty. There is a wonderful hike to the top of the mountain that starts just feet from the front door. End the hike with a soak in the hot tub, then play pool in the map room. don't forget to try one of Carol's cookies. You will find you cannot stop at one. And, did I mention breakfast! WOW. This was a wonderful and relaxing experience, one which we cannot wait to do all over again. We love this place!

North Fork Mountain Inn is an absolute gem. Carol and Ed are truly lovely hosts that totally spoil their guests with everything from comfy robes for the hot tub to the always available cookies and tea to a great wine tasting on Saturday night. There is a nice hike right above the lodge. In fact, with Ed's cooking and Carol's ready willingness to pack us a picnic lunch at the last minute, we managed to not get in the car at all during the weekend. And, even when the time did come, the innkeepers didn't rush us out the door -- instead we spent an extra few hours soaking up the West Virginia hills from the coziness of the inn.
