I you have seen in and you have seen in as well. We both know what the discussion is about. People not only guys start training and dieting and after a while they get obsessed with it.
People who are considered having extreme fitness lifestyle and life revolving around fitness usually have the below characteristics in common.
Obsession with nutrition & fitness lifestyle
- They count every little calorie they consume
- They are eating in a specific macronutrient ratio
- They are scared to death of sugar, fat and alcohol
- They weight their food
- They are very strict when eating in the restaurant
- They never go to a party, because it would mess up they workout or food schedule
Obsession with training
- They work out every day and sometimes twice a day
- They spend hours planning their workouts
- They never skip any of their workout session in the whole year
- They don't socialize a lot
- They tend to focus more on training and lifting more weight than on building an attractive body and spending time socializing
- They think training is the single one most important thing in their lives
- They usually work as personal trainers (But of course not all of the trainers are freaks and gym rats!!!)
- They usually lack passion for activities other than strength training
- They can't take week off gym, because they are afraid of losing muscles
- Wherever they travel they have to go the gym as they would go normally
- They get angry when they can't train
- They may take some drugs or they have been taking something in past
- They may participate in powerlifting or bodybuilding competitions
Do you recognize any of the above symptoms in your own life? Or in other people's lives? Maybe you have some friends who live this kind of lifestyle.
Do you think you need to live like the people I've just described above to build an attractive body? No, not at all.
In fact you shouldn't. Why? Because fitness is not the most important thing in your life, well at least I hope it's not. Your goal is probably to build an attractive body to be more confident in your own skin, to be desirable to women and be able to enjoy life in a better way. Is this your goal?
Great. Then continue reading to find out why to do to build that attractive body without going crazy and bossed by it.
In few articles about two weeks ago I said to train hard, be consistent and don't skip workout. Today I'm talking about the other side of the coin. You need to find a balance between working out and living the life you want. However in order to build an attractive body you need to work out a lot and often. So can we train a lot, often and still enjoy our lives? I have developed a simple plan for that. It's called training in chunks. You dedicate two or three parts of year to hard, intensive and consistent training in which you develop a great physique and in the rest of the year you just focus on maintaining it and enjoying the results.
You train hard and then enjoy your attractive body. Each time you go to another chunk of hard training you progress even further. If this sounds interesting to you go and read the whole article written on this subject here -> Strength training in chunks
Another think is that just because you are putting more effort into something at a beginning it doesn't mean it's going to be always like that. Some people never get this, so learn from their mistake.
You have to focus more on certain areas when you are beginning. For example when you are starting working out, you are probably going put more effort and focus now at the beginning than in ten years. Now it may one of the most important things you want to do, but in two years you will be satisfied enough and treat the workout as something that is part of your life and doesn't need enormous focus.
When you start your business you may work 15 hours a day for the first years. However, in ten years you may be working only two days in a week.
Get it? If you start doing something, working on certain areas of your life and improving them, especially if they are below average (never worked out, no experience with business etc.) it may be difficult and it will require lot of effort and focus, but what is important is that it needn't have to be like that for the rest of your life.
Don't let one area dictate your life and describe your character.
I'm sure you don't want to be the guy that is always in the gym who thinks only about weighting his food, counting his calories, the gym rat, the bodybuilding freak, am I right?
So, what is the key?
It's balance
Balance areas in your life and you will be more fulfilled and successful than ninety percent of the western population.
Pick one area, focus on it until you master it and then move on to another one.
For example get your physical look handled first, then move on to your social life. Once you are satisfied with your body and social network start working on improving your financial situation etc. Got it?
Commit yourself to master your whole life.
Everybody picks only one area that hey focus on in their life, be different. Master all of them. It's the only way to get fulfillment, long term happiness and become successful in life.

In February 2011, ICC completed a SAS 70 Type II audit. SAS 70 stands for Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 and was at the time the most commonly-used standard for auditing service providers.
The SAS 70 audit report was delivered to ICC Partners and their Internal Auditors to provide an understanding of the effectiveness of ICC's internal controls and its ability to deliver quality, managed services. As of 15 June 2011, the SAS 70 standard was superseded and ICC is now audited under a succeeding standard: ISAE 3402. Like SAS 70, ISAE 3402 is globally recognised as the standard for auditing service providers. It focuses on audits of internal controls that may impact or relate to financial reporting.
Independent auditors have performed an ISAE 3402 Type II audit of ICC's internal control framework, covering the period 1 January to 30 June 2013. ICC's internal control framework is based on COBIT 4.12 framework for ICT management and governance.
The ISAE 3402 Type II Auditor's Report conclusion is an unqualitfied opinion, meaning that the auditors did not observe evidence of control weaknesses during the period under review.
The ISAE 3402 Type II Auditor's Report provides ICC Partners with a detailed description of ICC's internal ICT controls and an independent assessment of whether these controls were suitably designed and operated effectively for the audit period.

The Fixer
April 23, 2007
BEFORE THERE WAS Walter Reed—before the revelations in The Washington Post, before the congressional hearings and presidential commissions and resigning generals—there was Joshua Murphy and his bad dream. In November 2005, Murphy returned home to Wichita Falls, Texas, after service that included a year patrolling the treacherous Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr City as a specialist in the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. Prior to the war, he had been outgoing, social, well-liked—"just your basic eighteen-year-old kid," in the words of his mother, Monica.
The Wright Stuff

Choosing Supreme Court Judges
May 02, 1970
The Founding Fathers, who met in the summer of 1787 to draw up a Constitution for the United States, gave relatively little attention to the judiciary. Clearly they had only a hazy notion of the vital role the judiciary was to play in umpiring the federal system or in limiting the powers of government. Article III of the Constitution says nothing whatever about the qualifications of judges, or about the mechanics of choice. Indeed it says practically nothing about the mechanics of the judicial system itself.
The Muscle Shoals Lobby

In its previous session, Congress passed Senator Norris' bill for government operation, but President Coolidge killed it by a pocket veto.

Saying "I Don't To Wedding Traditions - 03/12/13
Tuesday morning, we aired a story about the cost of weddings since the 2008 recession. Apparently, couples are spending more than they have since the downturn.
According to wedding website TheKnot.com, the average cost of a wedding last year was $28,400, down from $29,334 in 2008. My co-anchor jokingly replied, Have boys! I shot him the look. Now, I know for a fact that my co-anchor was really only kidding, but his joke speaks to the tradition that families have followed for eons. I believe its antiquated and unfair for a brides family to shoulder the lions share of wedding costs"and those costs are considerable.
According to TheKnot.com, the brides family traditionally pays for the invitations, the engagement party and wedding reception including food, drinks, decorations, and music. Oh, and dont forget the wedding photos, video and transportation to and from the wedding for the bridal party! The grooms family pays a much smaller portion. Theyre traditionally responsible for the rehearsal dinner and the honeymoon, which can be pricey for sure! But lets be serious really?
Why shouldn't both families split the cost of the wedding down the middle? Thats right! Plus, the bride and groom should most certainly pay for some, if not all of the wedding. Is that shocking? Heres my rationale: todays newlyweds are older and more likely to be financially established than they were when my parents got married. The average age of a bride today is 29 and 31 for a groom. Theyre most likely working and can afford to pay for the ice sculpture that doubles as a shrimp cocktail tray or the dove release at the moment they kiss at the altar. And, many couples do kick in some cash to pay for it all! On my Facebook page most of those who commented on this story said they happily paid for a portion of their weddings and didnt expect their parents to do so!
Im certain there are those out there for whom paying for their daughters wedding is a honor, a source of pride and something theyve saved for. Good for you! But in the absence of the means to lavish your child on their wedding day"get real about it. If you have to take a second mortgage out on your house or take out a huge loan to pay for a wedding, theres a seriously problem. But its tradition! Well, I say, let tradition pay for the wedding singer.

Crimson Wave Athletics
Calumet College of St. Joseph
2400 New York Ave. Whiting, IN 46394
(219) 473-4276
The Crimson Wave women's volleyball team is proud to announce the signing of Catheryne Wright to their 2014-2015 recruiting class. Catheryne will be coming to CCSJ from San Diego, California where she attended San Diego City College and played for two seasons. "I am originally from San Diego California. My family currently lives in San Diego, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio. I have a few special talents that include speaking three languages. I am fluent in American Sign Language, Spanish and English. My hobbies include yoga, writing poetry, hiking and biking. I coach my own club team, and have been coaching for six years. On Sundays, I attend St. Jude Shrine of the West. This is a small Catholic church we sometimes go to and feed the homeless. I enjoy meditation on view side/scenic side areas (lakes, beaches, cliffs, mountains, etc.). Lastly in my sports career, I have played volleyball for thirteen years, basketball for ten years, softball for five years, and soccer for three years," said Catheryne. Catheryne will be a setter for the Crimson Wave.
"I chose Calumet College of St. Joseph because throughout high school, I had the opportunity to attend a public school and a private school. I Iiked the Catholic (private) school much more. It was nice to be surrounded by people with all the same beliefs, values and morals as myself. I have had the public college experience and would truly love a Catholic college experience. When pursuing CCSJ, research showed that CCSJ was a very family oriented place. I did not find that anywhere else," said Catheryne on why she chose CCSJ.
In high school and club, Catheryne received the Outstanding Offensive Player, Most Inspirational Player, and Second Team All-League. She also received the MVP of the South Bay All-Star Game. Catheryne was ranked in county as a right side hitter as well. While attending San Diego City College, Catheryne made the All-Tournament Team and was also the speaking captain on the court.
"I am very excited to have Cat apart of our program here at CCSJ for the next two seasons. She is a seasoned setter coming from San Diego City JC that will help run our offense here. She has a great attitude and wants to do her best. I know her and I will have a great working relationship that will show on the court and help to make both her and this team successful," said Coach Zimny.
While attending CCSJ, Catheryne will major in Psychology. "While attending CCSJ, I would like to obtain at least a 2.7gpa. I would love to have the opportunity to attend tutoring and get the feel of a small school and actually getting to know my professors. Athletically, my goals include helping lead CCSJ to the NAIA National Tournament. I hope to make the All-Conference Team while exceling in coach's program. Lastly, I hope to break all my career high statistics and set new records for myself," said Catheryne.

Vaccine bombshell: Baby monkeys develop autism symptoms after obtaining doses of popular vaccines
Posted By aaron On November 4, 2012 @ 7:45 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
Sola Ogundipe
November 4, 2012
COMMENT: Our friends at NaturalNews.com covered this issue six months ago in Ethan Huff's article "Vaccine bombshell: Baby monkeys given standard doses of popular vaccines develop autism symptoms" and VacTruth.com's coverage goes back to April! But we're glad the issue is getting covered in the blogosphere anyway, as this sad truth needs to be exposed. This article highlights the fact that scientific studies have been conducted, and demonstrate a tendency towards autism among primates given the detailed vaccination schedule. We must stop allowing our children to be exposed to these dangerous vaccines until Big Pharma profiteering can be taken out of the equation, and the safety, effectiveness and necessity of any given vaccine can truly be demonstrated.
Following a recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania which revealed that many infant monkeys given standard doses of childhood vaccines as part of the new research,developed autism symptoms, question marks over the ultimate safety of vaccines have come to the fore.
The groundbreaking research findings presented at the International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) in London, England, have revealed that young macaque monkeys given the typical CDC-recommended vaccination schedule from the 1990s, and in appropriate doses for the monkeys' sizes and ages, tended to develop autism symptoms. Theirunvaccinated counterparts, on the other hand, developed no such symptoms, which points to a strong connection between vaccines and autism spectrum disorders.
This development which deconstructs mainstream myth that vaccines are safe and pose no risk of autism, was brought on by after studies on the type of proper safety research on typical childhood vaccination schedules that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) should have conducted — but never has — for such regimens.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Lee Hyde and Jose Ortegano had worn out their prospect status with the Atlanta Braves. Now they will get chances to impress other organizations.The Gwinnett left-handers were claimed Wednesday after Atlanta elected to drop them from the 40-man roster. Hyde was taken by Washington and Ortegano by the New York Yankees. Neither looked good this spring and both had disappointing seasons last year, especially Ortegano. The native of Venezuela was 3-11 with a 6.20 ERA in 21 games for the G-Braves after going 2-4 with 5.14 ERA in seven games with Class A Myrtle Beach. Hyde, a former Georgia Tech pitcher, split last season between Mississippi and Gwinnett, appearing in 51 games. He was 2-3 with a 2.95 ERA and eight saves in 29 Class AA games, but 2-3 with a 4.29 ERA in 22 games for the G-Braves. The Atlanta organization is loaded with pitching prospects, making Ortegano and Hyde expendable. Gwinnett's bullpen should be loaded with good arms again this season and the rotation is expected to also be solid, with top prospect Julio Teheran a likely addition by midseason. "Pitching should be our strength," G-Braves manager Dave Brundage said. Gwinnett is 2-2 in exhibition play. No game was scheduled for Wednesday, but some G-Braves players took part in a six-inning camp game in the morning that allowed Braves starter Tommy Hanson the work he had missed. Hanson, who skipped his scheduled start Monday against the New York Mets because of stiff back, allowed two homers and five runs while pitching 51⁄3 innings. The right-hander gave up eight hits, struck out six and walked none while throwing 96 pitches. The wind was blowing out to left field and the minor leaguers took advantage. Shortstop prospect Andrelton Simmons homered in the first inning and outfielder Beau Torbert smashed a three-run homer in the sixth. "Tommy threw well. His back was fine," said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez, who watched the first five innings before returning to Champion Stadium for the Grapefruit League game against Florida. Hanson is scheduled to start the second game of the season at Washington on April 2.

It's that time again, when SQL bloggers from all over join forces to blog for a common theme. That's right: T-SQL Tuesday!
Background: T-SQL Tuesday is the brainchild of Adam Machanic (Blog|Twitter) and is described as "the SQL Server blogosphere's first recurring, revolving blog party. The idea is simple: Each month a blog will host the party, and about a week before the second Tuesday of the month a theme will be posted. Any blogger that wishes to participate is invited to write a post on the chosen topic."
This month's theme: "Beach Time", hosted by Jason Brimhall (blog | twitter). Basically, we're being asked to write about "What do you do prior to 'Beach Time' to ensure that the beach time will not involve work."
This is actually a good topic for me, as last month I took the longest consecutive vacation of my working life at two full weeks. It was challenging to get everything in order before leaving, and I did get a phone call once (ironically on the first day off), but all in all my team did great work and kept all my projects in good order while I was gone (with one minor exception, but that was at least partially my fault as you'll see).
So how did I pull this extended absence off?
I documented the status of all my projects, including what was outstanding from others and what needed to be done while I was gone.
We have a wonderful SharePoint site where we keep all our projects listed and have detailed status notes on all of them. This means that if any one of us ever had to suddenly be out for an extended period of time, someone else could just glance over their list and pick up where they left off.
This reminds me strongly of one of my GTD habits: keep things in lists and not in your head. By forcing us (and yes, I do sometimes neglect it a little, hence my first (but only) phone call) to keep this updated, we don't have to rely on our memory to keep track of what's on our plates.
I made sure my runbooks were up to date.
Just before I left, I closed out a major phase of a project to build a massive data warehouse containing PerfMon data for all the SQL servers we support. It's a complex system with multiple inputs and moving pieces. Because of this, I made sure the write up a thorough document detailing the ins and outs of the system, including architecture and troubleshooting steps. No way was I being called when I was away because this thing broke.
Now as it turns out, the system did fail while I was gone, but was unnoticed! And while my teammates sheepishly admitted that they missed the alerts and should have at least dug into them a little further, I also took responsibility for not ensuring they (the alerts) were a) urgent enough to be noticed, b) clear enough to tell the reader where to get more information.
Once I was gone, I made damn sure I was very hard to get in touch with.
While I am the first to admit I have a pretty bad addiction to my Crackberry, when I'm on paid vacation I strictly enforce the "no e-mail rule". I go so far as to actually turn off the mail synchronization on my phone and make it clear in my out of office that I will not be checking my mail at any time during my absence. Only my teammates know my phone number and they are told they can call me if absolutely necessary, but that I may not immediately respond. While I do tend to take my work laptop, that's only because it's also my playground for testing SQL related things, and I do not connect to the office.
Being selfish? Maybe a little, but hey, it's my vacation time and I'm damn well going to enjoy it and not waste it working. That being said, on this last vacation I did end up working for about 3 hours, but that was wholly my fault for not properly documenting something before I left.
I have a great, strong team around me.
While this may not have much directly to do with me, I consider it a crucial factor in vacation success. If your team can't hold down the fort, even given good documentation, then you're pretty much sunk. I've been in those situations before, and let's be honest: it sucks. There's few things in the world more maddening than getting called on vacation because "Mr. So and So is here and he says you told him X, but that doesn't make sense?", especially when your conversations with Mr. So and So are explicitly detailed in writing, and readily accessible to your teammates. That's a real example by the way, from my time as a retail store manager. Let's just say that individual got politely redirected to where I kept a log of all my conversations, along with a gentle reminder that I was not to be disturbed. Thankfully, this is not the case where I am now, and I am eternally grateful for the hard work and dedication of my fellow DBAs.

Lips says I feel like I know you. Besides the tour of our seemingly equally lonely trip around Paris, I felt your mood and beautiful writing and photography. Everything was spare and cleanly edited. I read the whole book as soon as I happened to find it. Great job! Thank you.

Digital Project against Domestic Violence in Bolivia Praised
Jul 05 2012, Bolivia [BO], Gender, Governance, Human Rights
A project that provides online legal advice and digital trainings to Bolivian victims of domestic violence was praised in a recent publication of International Capacity Building Organisation PSO.
The project, which was formerly supported by IICD in collaboration with local partner Casa de la Mujer was presented as an example of an inspiring innovative approach to capacity development that leads to the improvement of people's lives.
The project consists of an online consulting service for women suffering from domestic violence, which provides them legal advice and the opportunity to interact online anonymously with professional counsellors. In addition, these women are trained in the basic use of computers as well as the use of tools such as chat and Skype where they can speak to their peers or learn how to anonymously tell their story.
Given that most women do not have a computer of their own, Casa de La Mujer has created computer centres throughout Santa Cruz, which women can visit and use for free to send messages to lawyers and psychologists who volunteer in the project or to other victims, anonymously, if they prefer.
As a result, the women feel that they are not alone. By interacting with other women facing the same problems and by being introduced to basic ICT skills like blogging or using Skype, they are given a voice to communicate about domestic violence and inspire other women who suffer in other areas of the country. In addition to this, ICT has given them the opportunity to seek help maintaining their anonymity, something that is really important to victims of domestic violence and gender discrimination.
IICD's officer Community Relations, Innovation & Capacity Development, Saskia Harmsen says that "We are pleased with the results seen from the training of 600 women in the use of ICT, and in the use of the on-line legal services and in legal rights issues".
Casa de la Mujer is a Bolivian women's organisation whose objective is to improve the quality of life of women and to promote equal gender relations.
PSO was founded in 1985, to facilitate the posting abroad of professionals in the context of development cooperation. Being a learning attendant, PSO assists its members and other development organisations to learn about the numerous aspects of capacity strengthening in Southern societies.
Let's innovate instead of duplicate! is a publication issued by PSO, where PSO member organisations and their partners share their experience and knowledge of solutions that are applicable locally as well as their successful stories of innovative approaches to capacity development.

Made me smile. Thank you.
I lurk on your site everyday and these are always charming w/c snippets I love to see - but this morning deserves a comment as the bugs of summer are in high bloom - what a wonderful whimsical bug!
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy seeing your daily sketches. I have been wanting to sketch and watercolor the way that you do, but I am not sure where to start. Do you have any suggestions or know of any websites that give beginners instructions. I know the best way to learn is to just do it, but I am looking for a "teacher" to help me get going on the right track.
If you can give me any info that would be wonderful!
Thanks, everyone.
Kalee, I really liked the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." The exercises there began to help me see things differently. Danny Gregory's "Creative License" is also great for advice and inspiration.

Question: 'How do we really live together in harmony?'
Answer: "It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community, a community which practices understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living? This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the earth."

Before she was busy intimidating talk show hosts, guzzling protein shakes, and popping out babies, an 18-year-old Adriana Lima walked her first show for Victoria's Secret. Apparently she even told the president of the company that the occasion marked "her first day as a woman."
Well, we guess that's one interpretation of the rite of passage.
Lima won Ford's "Supermodel of Brazil" model search at the age of 15 and placed second in their "Supermodel of the World" competition the following year. She started working with Victoria's Secret in 1999 and, as the video explains, the powers that be found her performance in their cotton commercial so showstopping that they cast her in the subsequent swimwear catalogue.
The young supermodel is actually pretty adorable in the video, talking about how excited she is to finally be working with the company and (you know the drill) how she never thought she – a little old 5'10 Brazilian goddess – could possibly be a model. The guy doing the voiceover for the segment is, however, kind of creepy. He takes a very pointed pause in the middle of this sentence while the camera pans over a bikini-clad Fernanda Tavares.
"President of [Limited Brands] Ed Razek cast the two Brazilian beauties because of each woman's distinct….look."

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) - Ourstories on federal salaries and bonuses have provoked a storm of controversy on the internet.
Some people have called them snarky, slimy and an invasion of privacy. Others say if you're paid by the taxpayers, the taxpayers have a right to know your salary.
The federal workers we talked to were furious. "Oh my gosh." "That's not cool at all," said Sandra Thomas when we showed her her listing.
TheAsbury Park Pressdatabase allows you to search up most workers by name."What happened to your privacy?" asked Thomas, who works for the Office of Inspector General at Health and Human Services.
"Everyone else that's in the private sector, their salary's not out there," says Chyanne McDuffie, who works for FEMA.
As federal workers, they know they're held to a different standard. "I wish it wasn't there," says , but I understand, being a public employee," says a man who works in security.
But some fear the implications. "If someone has an ulterior motive, to try and destroy someone's reputation," says a federal employee who doesn't want to give his name.
Federal workers are in the second year of a two year pay freeze.
And a lot of them resent the implication that they're overpaid. "How long has it been since you got a raise?" Iasked Thomas."Two years." "You going to get one this year?" "Not from what I've heard."
"My job here is 24/7. I'm on my BlackBerry. I'm answering emails all day, everyday," says McDuffie.
The American Federation of Government Workers points to federal poultry inspectors who are making just 32-thousand dollars a year to protect us from e coli contamination.
But the survey also found a Agriculture Department veterinarian who received one year, 62-thousand dollar bonus.
A Congressional Budget Office report this year suggested federal employees make about 2 percent more in total wages than private sector employees in comparable roles.
Statement of NTEU President Colleen M. Kelley on Salary and Awards Database for Federal Employees
The frontline federal employees that NTEU represents are not getting bonuses of tens of thousands of dollars. If they got any bonus at all last year, it would likely have been only a few hundred dollars. NTEU believes that bonuses can be a good tool for performance management, but awards of more than the annual salary of the majority of our members does not seem right, especially since agencies are under an aggregate cap of 1 percent of payroll since the beginning of fiscal 2012. Ultimately, very large bonuses to a few result in very small or no bonuses for many others.

Our family is very excited to once again be growing through adoption. My husband, Cody, and I have been married for 15 years. We have three beautiful daughters- Emma, Avery and Mercy. Mercy joined our family through adoption in 2011. Her adoption journey was not an easy one and stretched our family and faith like nothing else. I spent 11 months in Uganda completing the process. God redeemed that time by leading me to start a ministry for pregnant women there and also gave me many amazing ministry opportunities strengthening my love for the people. This time we are pursuing the adoption of a beautiful older girl from Uganda.We knew we wanted to adopt again and we have a big heart for older child adoption. We never anticipated adopting a 14 year old, but God continues to show us His plan and confirm this for us. We think she will make a wonderful addition to our family.

Classic burgers and fries joint. Also, they have a variety of other quick offerings. Good shakes and soft serve ice cream rounds out the experience.
Used to be great, but unfortunately new owners appear to have gone to the cost cutting vrs quality route, when your paying 8 bucks for a burger and 6 for a large shake and more for fry's its go to be better than it is now, we had hope to do some car events there but one of our requirements...
Got a double cheeseburger with a buncha stuff on it. Was tasty. Sloppy, but good. Service was good. Lots of choices on sides & milk shakes.
We were told that they make the best Burgers in Oakdale. When we ate there it was far from great. I do not recommend stopping there, pass it by and hit the other fast food restaurants.
pulled up to the drive thru to order at 30 mins to close and both employees ignored us even though they clearly seen us. they just did not want to cook anything or take an order so close to close time. Sad this has happened to us more than once. Stopped going to this one but go to the riverbank...
We stopped here because I love little local burger drive-ins like this. I don't know if the drive-through is actually functional, because we went inside to order. It did take a little longer to get our food than at some places, but that was OK, because we were really enjoying the 50's music on the great outdoor speakers. Really, it's...
It was not that fast. And it was too expensive. Should have stayed with one the more popular chains. Food Also was not that great. I don't mind paying more if the food is good.
Great food, really nice people, if you're in the area you should stop here!
Although it might not be quite as fast as most fast food restaraunts are today, there's a good reason..... Quality food. This is my favorite place to eat out. With high quality ingredients, a nostalgic flavor and great atmosphere, it should top any familys list of favorite places to eat.
This place has the good old original style and flavor of food you'll remember from way back when!
The cheeseburgers, Onion Rings and Fries are out of this world delicious!
Try Sno White Drive In in Oakdale and you'll be glad you did! The food has it's original, flavor, texture, style... everything!
This is what "Fast Food" originally started out...

When the NBA released the scheduled on Wednesday evening for the NBA regular season, some of the first things that people looked at of course were key match-ups, back to backs, long road trips, and nationally televised games. Another major event on the schedule to fans here, that support the Grizzlies as well as the city of Memphis is the Annual Martin Luther King Day Celebration which started here in as a recognized event by the NBA in 2002. Even though the NBA has had a long history of playing games on MLK, making it a league wide event was the brain child of Andy Dolich, former Grizzlies President Of Business Operations. The annual event as we know has consisted of high school games, a parade, the Sports Legacy Symposium and of course the Grizzlies matched up against an opponent as a part of their regular season schedule. The Grizz, over the years unfortunately, have been moved from the prime time game on national TV to a mid-day game on NBA TV. A tradition that started here in Memphis and that is truly a great day-long experience has had the spotlight pulled away from Memphis, a city that was not only pivotal to the civil rights movement, but is also the home of the National Civil Rights Museum. The league has chosen to spotlight big market cities on this day that is an off day for many to connect those media markets to the television. In this edition of Noise From The Sain Asylum I will take a quick look at ways that the NBA should make the MLK Day festivities not only a bigger and more relevant event but bring the spotlight back on the city of Memphis.
All Teams That Play on MLK Day Should Be From Cities That Played A Part In The Civil Rights Movement
In my opinion the MLK Day games would feel more authentic if cities like Memphis, Atlanta, Charlotte, Detroit, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Cleveland, and Chicago were the only teams that played on MLK Day. These cities were vital to the civil rights movement coming to fruition and the spirit of the day shouldn't be cheapened by having teams play just for market value and television ratings. The NBA is actually doing a much better job of this which is evident in these years schedule that includes Grizzlies vs Mavs, Pistons vs. Hawks, Bulls vs Cavs and Lakers vs Suns, but there should also be more historical content shown to focus more on how those cities were effected by the civil rights movement.
League Wide Incentive Program For Fans That Volunteer To Serve On MLK Day
It is a national tradition for people who are off on MLK Day to volunteer their services to organizations or causes that are in need. What better way for the teams across the NBA to be more of a part of this than to give away free tickets to a future game for people that volunteer in league affiliated sites or organizations. Something like this could be a great success as companies like Disney have done this in the past in exchange for a free day at Disney World.
NBA Can Make The Games Much More Marketable For All Teams Involved
Imagine if for every game on MLK day that the home team wore a special edition black jersey while the road team wore there road colors with additional black highlights. Shoe companies make special color way shoes for the All-Star game, Christmas Day and Black History Month, so MLK day could just be another opportunity to make a profit as well. The black home jerseys, which could be made to sell for all teams that play on that day would sell like hotcakes and some of the proceeds could go towards charity or programs that promote equality and education. I've seen home teams, including the Grizz wear black accessories on MLK day but a lot more can be done in my opinion to make this day stand out.
The Sports Legacy Symposium Should Be On Major Network National Television
I attended my first live Sports Legacy Symposium this past seasoned and I was absolutely floored by how amazing it was. I brought a group of students with me from inner city schools and they all were highly impressed by it as well. To hear advocates for change who could relate to their struggles was a great experience for them. The symposium was broadcast nationally on FoxSports last year but I am a firm believer that the oppurtunity to hear legends of sports talk about what it was like as a student, an athlete and as professional both during the civil rights movement as well as today in a still racially effected society should be shown on a bigger station like ESPN or TNT.
The City Of Memphis Should Host TWO MLK Day Games
Not only do I think that Memphis should have it's game on one of the big boy national tv stations, I also feel like two of the cities should have to play a neutral court game as one of their 41 road games in Memphis on MLK Day as well. I personally like Memphis playing the mid-day game at 2 or 3 but it would be even more amazing and beneficial financially to the city and to the Grizz to have another game tip off at 8 PM from two more NBA teams that may be either close or have transplant citizens here in Memphis like Chicago, New Orleans or Atlanta or a team with a national fanbase like Los Angeles. As a fan of both the Grizzlies as well as the NBA that could be huge.
Well that's my two cents on how the NBA can improve on what is definitely one of my own personal highlights of NBA Season. The MLK Day experience is one that involves history, service, awareness and tradition and I feel like the things that I noted above can add to this experience.

Experimental piece. Base hand made felt (wet method). Tyvek, shreaded, knitted and crochet coloured with liquid acrylic, heat zapped, stitched in place. machine embroidered, hand embroidery and beads applied. The tassel I think is a waste of space and spoils the whole piece. Further images and the inspiration page from my sketchbook are on my profile page.
I am fascinated by this piece. Do you plan on its being a stand alone creation, or will you use it in a larger piece? I like taking pieces like this and using them as a focal point in a larger piece.
I love the idea of incorporating knitting and crochet. And could you be more explicit about the liquid acrylic application>>>>was the yarn white to begin with, then you painted it? Or???? I have to go check your profile page!
Gorgeous. I don't think the tassel detracts from the piece at all. Amazing work. I love the random-ness and how all the elements work together.
I really like it. Alot of ideas in there. I never thought of putting knitting into my pieces. Will try it.
Wonderful Work! I loved!!!!

How on earth did i miss this?!! Ir's fantastic!

Where do you find crochet inspiration? Do you find it in the fashion magazines you leaf through at the supermarket, from your latest issue of Interweave Crochet, or from natural or architecture?
Crochet stitches can re-create the shapes and structure of the things that surround us. Recently, in browsing through photographs stored on my computer, I found some pictures from a trip to Vancouver Canada for an Interweave Crochet photo shoot. There were leaves bigger than my head that I would love to re-create in a variegated yarn. The architecture of the Chinese garden (below) makes me itch to crochet Mandarin collars and intricate stitch patterns.
The pictures reminded
me of the motifs in the Interweave Crochet 2011 Calendar,
probably because they seem inspired by nature and architecture. I pulled
out my copy and studied each month's motif. (I can't wait until January
when I can hang it on my kitchen wall.)
Of course each motif is beautiful in its own right. Wouldn't they make fun coasters or trivets, perfect for a quick gift? Some months even offer inspiration of their own, which is another reason to get your hands on the Interweave Crochet 2011 Calendar. October suggests making several leaf motifs and scattering them on the table to celebrate fall while other months prompt you to create a project for yourself, a family member, or a charity.
Now my mind is spinning with ideas and inspiration. I would love hear your project ideas and what inspires you.
Best wishes,
I like what I see and turn it into crochet!!
For example, I will see a shape of garment on someone, hmmm I like that - what yarn, what stitches, off I go.
Like you I see a shape in nature and try to recreate it. I like variegated cotton threads to make flowers as embellishments for projects or as brooches to raise funds for charity projects.
My most recent creative spark came from seeing my friend's print pattern dress. It had a flowerish shape with echoes of Paisley in it. It is becoming the inspiration for a motif that will make a set of glass coasters and place settings as a gift for a soon-to-be-married friend. And I may use the motif to make a multi-coloured scarf for myself using oddments from various cotton/bamboo yarns I've been working with lately.
I love thread as well. I really learned to crochet with thread and it works perfectly for flowers and embellishments. I am always finding another crocheted thread flower in the bottom of my purse or backpack. They keep my hands occupied and allow me to try out new techniques.

Q. I understand that for this season of D&D Encounters, I can create my own 1st-level character or use a pre-generated one included. What are the rules for creating my own character?
A. The rules are pretty simple. To create your own 1st-level character, follow all the instructions listed in the Player's Handbook. You can select rules options from any player resource for your character, including the Player's Handbook series, the Power series, the Player's Guides, the Adventurer's Vault series, and Dragon Magazine content. You can choose any race that's received a full "PC race" write-up in any player book or source. So, for example, shadar-kai is OK, since it received a full write-up in Dragon, but kobold isn't, since it hasn't received that treatment. You start play with 100 gold (as normal). You might want to consider making your character fit in with the world of the Forgotten Realms, but that's not a requirement.

Physicians Formula Super CC Cover Concealer Review & Swatches
Physicians Formula Super CC Cover Concealer ($12.95) is a new correct and conceal formula that addresses and corrects age spots, dark circles, dullness, uneven skin tone, redness, dark shadows fine lines, wrinkles fatigue, and dark shadows.
Earlier last Spring, Physcians Formula Super BB All-in-1 Beauty Balm Concealer launched however, this new formulation is more about correcting versus major concealing.
Take a look!
Physicians Formula Super CC Cover Concealer is available in a single Light/Medium shade which is a soft ivory with very light beige undertones. This a shade that won't work that will work best for medium fair, medium, and lighter skin tones as it is sheerer so you'll find it works good to color correct but won't be pasty in finish courtesy to the sheerness of the product.
It comes in a twist pen with an attached brush for application which makes it friendly for travel and touch ups on the go. I like using it over my concealer and to contour with but you can also use it under concealer as well. It is not meant for use on its own due to the sheerer finish unless you're only looking for lighter concealer coverage. Personally I need a lot more coverage than this provides.
However, a touch over my concealer brightens up my eyes, diminishes darkness that my concealer might not have addressed, and completes my entire look. I also like to use it in the space just about my cheek bones, right under my eyes, to create a bright contouring effect that gives my eyes a more awake appearance.
The formula is creamy with a satin finish that doesn't crease into my finer lines or add dryness to the area. It blends fairly easily as well without tugging or dragging across my skin.
Overall, Physicians Formula Super CC Cover Concealer is a nice touch up tool for addressing redness on cheeks or subtle dark circles or shadowing on your face. It isn't a full coverage concealer but does have nice correcting abilities to address minor facial skin and under eye problems. I like to use it as a brightening pen of sorts to brighten certain areas around my face and eyes up as it does an excellent job addressing problems like fatigue or dark circles that need diffusing.
The Physicians Formula Super CC Collection which includes a brand new CC Cream as well as this concealer will be available at drugstores shortly.

Oooooh…I've been looking for something like this! I need a cheaper alternative to the Estee Lauder brightening/concealing pen. I love the brush applicator for quick work touch ups, especially after I eat and somehow all the makeup has worn off my chin!!! I hate the $35 price. This looks like a great substitute. Muse, you're the best.
1/15/14 12:44 Janelle:
Muse Darling! I feel like I can all you Darling like you are one of my bff's I am going to give this a whirl! I just moved from the Bay Area, CA to Monterey and I am having difficulty finding HE brands! I know this will not be as great as my YSL one, but I am willing to give it a whirl. Its a give and take in life…I get the Ocean, but not makeup lol. At least without a close Sephora and Nieman's, Bloomies, and Nordy's I can afford the ocean lol

Hawks still preaching patience heading into first road trip
by Doug Gorman
When Heritage School football coach D.J. Clay talks about his team, there's still plenty of enthusiasm in his voice.
That's despite all the craziness that's happened to the Heritage football team the last three weeks.
It started when Clay was pro- moted from defensive coordinator to head coach when Kevin Prisant abruptly resigned just days before losing the opener 13-12 to Flint River, losing his starting quarterback Brad Macke to shoulder injury in the second series of the season, and dropping to 0-2 to start the year.
Last week, Heritage struggled to get anything going, turning the ball over seven times in a 56-19 loss to a strong John Milledge Academy program.
As the Hawks take to the road for the first time tonight for a non- region game against Terrell Academy, Clay thinks the Hawks have a chance to be a good before the end of the year, and contend even contend for a region crown.
"The score doesn't show it, but we have been able to do some pretty good things," Clay said. "In that first game, we were able to pile up more than 400 yards of offense. I think we had four turnovers in the red zone, so that's something like 28 points we have left on the field."
The message Clay is trying to get across to the Hawks, is rooted around patience, especially with its GISA Region 1-AAA opener still a week away. Heritage's three non- region opponents this year are currently sitting at 6-0 heading into Friday.
"Our kids know we are moving the football," Clay said. "Defensively, we have missed a couple of assignments and that shortened the field for the other team, but we are getting there."
John Milledge, which improved to 2-0 after coming off consecutive 11-2 and 12- seasons, turned all seven Heritage turnovers into points last week.
Backup quarterback Peyton Henson, who took over for Macke against Flint River, showed flashes of moving the team against John Miledge's stout defense last week, completing 14 of 26 passes, but the Hawks were only able to score a handful of times.
"He has done an awesome job stepping in at quarterback," Clay said. "We are just trying to make sure we are finding plays that are more comfortable for him. He has had to force a few passes, but we told him that is not something we are upset about. We just want him to get better and move this team for- ward. He's taken that challenge on himself."
Henson has found a favorite tar- get in tight end Cole Jones during the first two games. The two have hooked in both games for some big plays, including last week with a 43-yarder.
Tristan Stoffle has also played well on both sides of the ball. Last week, he had an interception against the Trojans, one of the few times the Hawks defense came up with a stop.
The coaching staff is hoping Macke can eventually return to the lineup, but they won't bring him back before he's ready.
"We would love to have him in the lineup, but we don't want to bring him back to soon," Clay said. "The last thing we want to do is have him get hurt and be gone for the rest of the season. "Right now Brad is about 65-70 percent, and we want to make sure he is better than that before we put him back in the game. There is a chance we will play him Friday, but I doubt it."
The Hawks biggest challenge will be to stop a Terrell Academy's spread offense. The Eagles have averaged more than 40 points in their first two games, beating Heritage rival Trinity Christian 41-26 and Southwest Georgia Academy 49-27.
"They are going to try and get to the outside by running a lot of jet sweeps," Clay said. "They will also try and go deep."
Both teams will be using quarterbacks that opened lost starter Dalton Todd to an injury earlier in the year.
"We have seen their backup quarterback on film, and he looks pretty good," Clay said.

Sterling close STERLING SILVER: Also known as "Standard Silver," sterling silver is silver alloyed with other metals to increase the hardness and durability. Generally, sterling is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. Some sterling silver jewelry is plated with 14kt-18kt gold and referred to as "vermeil," or "gold over sterling." Silver
Polished close POLISHED: A buffed-out finish used to produce a mirror-like shine.
Gemstone 1:

Garnet close GARNET: the birthstone of January. One glance at the deep red seeds nestled inside of a pomegranate explains why the word "garnet" comes from the Latin word "granatus," meaning "grain" or "seed."

Gemstone 3:
Peridot close PERIDOT: the birthstone of the month of August, peridot is only found in one color: green.

Gemstone 4:
Jade close JADE: Available in many nuances of green, plus black, red, brown and white, jade has been treasured for its beauty and strength since prehistoric times.

It is such a very-fast inner discussion, while trying to hide your expression, when seeing something beautiful destroyed by a child who is trying to express love and doesn't know the "value" adults put on things.
If I remember correctly, this strip was partly inspired by a scene from "My Neighbor Totoro" where the character May puts flowers (if I remember correctly) one-by-one on her father's desk while he works.
