At the crossroads of Africa, Europe and the Middle East, Morocco is a melting pot of culture and custom.
You can feel it in the bustle of the crowded souqs and you can taste it in every aromatic tajine. It's floating in the air above the High Atlas Mountains and it's caught in the grains of the endless Sahara. It's a vibrancy, an urgency, an assault on the senses. It is the essence of Morocco. Play it again, Sam.
What people say
We really enjoyed this trip. It was well-organised, included what we wanted to see in Morocco, and took out the hassle of operating in a foreign language, in a country with little tourist infrastructure to assist the independent traveller.
What people say
Morocco is a fantastic destination with friendly, happy people. A land of contrasts and a wonderful opportunity to learn and gain some understanding of other cultures.
What people say
Morocco is a wonderful country with beautiful people. Best way to enjoy your holiday. Take part in everything on your itinerary and do extras if you can. Had a great time and would do it all again. Loved it!
What people say
The Highlights of Morocco Tour is ideal for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness wanting to experience what the whole of the country has to offer and get to know about it's history, people and their culture.
Morocco travel highlights
Wander the bazaars of Marrakech
Marrakech is a feast for the senses. Be enticed by the alluring scents and brilliant colours of the spice markets, the sounds of the musicians, the rich folds of carpets, delectable foods, acrobats and perfumed gardens.
Discover the Middle Ages in Fes
Descending into the labyrinthine alleyways of the Fes Medina is like taking a giant step back to the Middle Ages. Preserved by the French for its historical value, it remains a fascinating living museum where getting lost is half the fun.
Chill out at beachside Essaouira
Wander this busy fishing port and follow in the footsteps of Orson Welles, Jimi Hendrix and Ridley Scott, all of whom have been seduced by this artist's haven.

The Alonzo A. Crim Center for Urban Educational Excellence has partnered with Ebrik Coffee Room for the 2nd Annual Coats and Coffee Winter Coat Drive, taking place through Nov. 30.
Help local Atlanta children keep warm this winter by donating new and gently used coats, hats, gloves and scarves at the Crim Center (College of Education and Human Development, suite 350) or at Ebrik Coffee Room (16 Park Place S.E., Atlanta). Donations will be delivered to students in the Atlanta Public Schools system.
For more information about the drive, contact Angelique Spruill Nealy at 404-413-8479.
After-School All-Stars Atlanta will collect presents for families in need this holiday season through its annual Angel Tree project, which begins Nov. 13.
The Angel Tree supports City of Refuge and My Sister's House, both of which provide transitional housing for homeless women and their children. Most of these children are elementary- or middle school-aged and all of them attend the After-School All-Stars Atlanta program.
To participate, take a name off of the tree in the CEHD lobby (which includes family members' names, sizes, ages and genders) and purchase, wrap and place names on the gifts. Then, call After-School All-Stars at 404-413-8355 and the staff will pick up the gifts. You can also drop your gifts off at the ASASA office (1042 One Park Place South, Atlanta). All gifts must be picked up or delivered to the ASASA office by Dec. 7.
The project's goal is for every child and their mother on our list to receive a gift this holiday season. Gifts donated for this project are considered charitable donations, so please retain the receipts if you wish to claim them on your taxes.

Crunch-crunch-crunch will end up as munch-munch-munch when this salad is served. Flavor is obviously crucial in food, and certainly this salad has flavor, but tactile sensation is also a very important factor in our food perception and appreciation. We want pasta al dente, celery crunchy, bread grilled. This salad has a lot of texture to enjoy.

This is simple and delicious. A perfect balance of flavors and textures. Thanks!

My ds is not walking yet so I was just wondering if it is ok to take him trick or treating. Is anyone else going to?
Thanks, Carla
My ds is not walking yet so I was just wondering if it is ok to take him trick or treating. Is anyone else going to?
Thanks, Carla
I will be. I also did last year, haha. Mainly because we were with other people with children that were going. He dressed up as a skeleton last year (at 5 weeks old) and this year he will be a bat :-)
Milledge is walking, but we're not trick or treating. We're going to a Halloween party where Milledge will wear his costume, and I'm making a pumpkin themed dinner. For us, that's sufficient. But I say, if you want to go trick or treating, who cares if he can walk! Even if he were walking, you'd probably carry him the whole time, anyway.
I say take him. This is your chance to steal his candy without him knowing, lol!
- Melanie, mama to Milledge
Donate blood and save the lives of kids like my son:
Probably not. Her bedtime is so early and it may be cold so I will put her to bed and the GP's will watch her while we take the boys.
Mom to Jacob 9, Owen 6 and Sophie 2
Absolutely!! He went last year too. Obviously most of the candy will to to ODS though. However, LO loves smarties, m&ms, and suckers so he won't be totally left out lol.
We will take DS to a few select neighbors (to show him off - I think he's the cutest thing ever). Then he will probably just stay in and help hand out candy and see all the kids in their costumes.
p.s. Ds is not walking yet either, so we will use the stroller.
Heather -� Mom to Jack� 9/07 -�Sensory Seeker with� SPD and dyspraxia�
We will go Trick or Treating, mainly b/c it's a huge thing in our neighborhood and ODD will be going. She will go with her friends, but I will be lurking around checking up on her! Then we are going to a neighborhood party. It will be a ton of fun, especially since Halloween is on a Friday this year!
Lisa married to Mike 7/97
Mariah 8/96
Travis 9/07
Yep. We will carry him most of the way but ODS & ODD will be going and he can walk so we'll let them hold his hands to walk up to porches and it'll be adorable - they already don't keep most of their candy, they just think it's fun.
Our church does trunk or treating, so we will be doing that. The rest of the night we will probably just stick around the house. We haven't decided if we are going to throw a halloween part or not. We do one every year but we just moved to a new state and don't really know anyone to invite. :(
-Kristina (still rocks)
Yes...He will be going with us, big sis, & friends. He walks, but we are still going to bring the stroller because I'm sure he will get tired. Plus we kind of run from house to house lol.
I'm hoping it goes better then last year, boy was he cranky. This year
he will be a horse.

text: The Casa del Monacone allows guests to experience a suggestive and pleasant stay in an ancient convent, near the Basilica of Santa Maria of Sanità, located in the very heart of the popular and historic Rione Sanità. Renovating the spaces originally designated to the monks living areas, some young boys of "La Paranza" together with a famous Neapolitan designer Riccardo Dalisi, have created 6 warm and comfortable rooms (all of them with private bathroom inside), one dining room, a kitchen, and a terrace where, weather permitting, from the spring time to the autumn, breakfast can be served al fresco, overlooking the historical bridge of Rione Sanità. Dalisi has created a soft style, showing that in Rione Sanità ancient decor and modern furnishings can harmoniously combine. The Monacone is in a strategic position for the city's sight, as it is near the lines 1 and 2 of the Neaples' Metropolitan, near Spacca Napoli (intra moenia) with his churches and the Cathedral, at the hill's feet of Vomero (modern town), and also not far from some other area attractions such as the Pinacoteca of Capodimonte and his wood, the Archaeological Museum, and the Royal Orto Botanico. Amenities at this accommodation include a lift, free wireless Internet access, a terrace, TV and microwave in the lobby, luggage storage, and a bar.

I never got the Akira class as a carrier.

Re: I never got the Akira class as a carrier.
According to memory alpha...(not cannon I know) the Galaxy Class was launched in the (late)2350s. The Akira class was Launched in early 2370's. so thats nearly a ten year gap. Starfleet became aware of the Borg in 2365 (memory alpha), so the ONLY reason I can see the 15 torpedo tubes reasoning is that the Akira fires a Torpedo Orgy basically at a borg cube, hoping for a knockout punch. possibly working in concert with defiant class ships. still seems over the top but thats the only reasoning I could find behind such a large amount of tubes on a medium sized ship. considering most other fed ships have 2-3 tubes that can fire in bursts, it sort of renders the whole broadside cannons thing moot. its like replacing a machine gunner with a WWI rifle line.

William Maw Egley (British, 1826–1916)
Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, 1852
Oil on canvas, 49 x 61 x 4 1/2 in.
Signed and dated lower right: W. D. MAW EGLEY. / 1852
Today Egley is best known for his genre scenes depicting modern English life from the late 1850s and early 1860s, like Omnibus Life in London (1859; Tate Britain) and Hullo Largess (1862; location unknown), but he began his career creating historical scenes and literary illustrations. He was a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Academy, the British Institution, and the Society of British Artists for over 50 years, yet he had no formal art education, receiving training from his father, William Egley, a self-taught portrait painter and miniaturist. He also painted backgrounds for William Powell Frith, which influencedhim to abandon literature and history in 1855 for scenes of contemporary England.
In Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn—typical of his early historical images—the noblewomen play cards, an episode invented in the 16th century by Anne Boleyn's first biographer, George Wyatt. Surrounded by her lady's maids and a monk (a reminder of Catherine's Catholicism), Catherine of Aragon has played the Queen of Clubs, while Anne Boleyn, seated alone across the table, reveals her trumping card of the King of Hearts — a subtle reference to Henry VIII, stepping through the doorway to the right, who will break with the Catholic Church in 1534 to divorce Catherine and marry Anne. When exhibited in 1853, The Art-Journal wrote: "Some portions of the picture are executed with much fine feeling, as some of the draperies, and especially the king, but others perhaps are unduly hard and the whole is deficient of depth." Similarly, The Athenaeum reported that, "No point has been neglected and such sedulousness in working out a given intention, if even it trench on prosiness in iteration and amplification, merits praise. The heads, too, have character…But Mr. Egley's figures are too much elongated and emaciated. The hollow cheeks and the bony limbs of an opera-dancer but imperfectly replace the sanctity of one refined by sorrow or the delicacy of a younger beauty in whom 'blood' predominates over more material attractions …The picture does not win the eye—it stares from the wall." Egley spent at least five months working on the image, painstakingly detailing his progress in his diaries, as was his custom (in his notes he identified this work as Katherine of Arragon). Beyond his meticulous records, however, the artist left little account of his life and personality.

The British foreign office minister for the Middle East is to discuss the direction of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process with the new generation of Egyptian political leaders.
In a beautiful irony, an Israeli journalist has made Gaddafi a YouTube hit among young Libyans.
Noy Alooshe turned the dictator's speech last week into a rap video complete with dancing girls.
One of the most noteworthy consequences of the current wave of protests and revolutions across the Arab world is that when you click on the Middle East section of the BBC website something extraordinary happens: you are no longer bombarded, headline by headline, subsection by subsection with a once familar word: "Israel".
Pictures from Raphael Luzon's visit to Libya.
A senior Libyan politician has claimed to have evidence that the 1988 Lockerbie bombing was carried out under the orders of Colonel Gaddafi.
Israel's President has described it as an "irony of history" that Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi is facing an uprising in his own country less than two weeks after calling for revolution across the Arab world.
Speaking during a visit to Madrid, Shimon Peres said: "Gaddafi said he prefers a Middle East without the State of Israel.
"Today we might reach a situation where there is a Libya, but without Gaddafi."
When a bomb exploded on the Boeing 747 that was flying between London and New York, all 259 people – passengers and crew – were killed. The terrorist attack was so-named because 11 others died in the Scottish town of Lockerbie when sections of the plane crashed there.
The Libyan government attempted to force the Tripoli branch of retail chain Marks & Spencer to close using a "repugnant antisemitic" smear campaign and "pseudo-populist rhetoric against 'the force
Pro-Palestinian activists hoping to breach the naval blockade of Gaza have run into trouble off the coast of Libya.
A man whose family fled Libya in 1967 amid anti-Jewish violence has returned to his home city and had dinner with Colonel Gaddafi.
Raphael Luzon was 13 when, in the aftermath of Israel's Six day War, the then 4,000-strong Libyan Jewish population was forced out of the north African country.
Several members of his family, including six cousins, were killed before they could escape.

I've had one for years. First be aware that there is no rangefinder. If you don't want to use the auto focus the option is setting a guess focus distance. I use mine mostly on a tripod for landscape things when I don't want to carry a heavier camera outfit or it's too crowded to use a slower operating camera. You quickly get used to having the zoom lens which makes it hard to go back to a folder/TLR option for lightweight MF. I've only gone as large as 11x14 but the lens is very sharp. Also very good at the close focus point of 1m. I use the built in meter with no problems except in very low light. There you may have to open up to get a reading, figure out the exposure at the fstop you want to shoot at and expose using the B setting. If setting up on a tripod using a cable release you can't use any focus/exposure lock so you will need to use manual focus/exposure if the camera is pointing to the wrong part of the picture when setup on the tripod.
I have the common display problems. A couple digits missing now and then. So far easy enough to ignore.
I'd say check Ebay and KEH for price. These are getting older so you may have to be careful. Check the shot counter for hard use. I don't know about serial numbers vs age. Maybe someone has that data. I highly recommend the camera.

Just curious - how many people have a truly safe direction to orient the muzzle at home when clearing (i.e. a kevlar pad, sand bucket, etc)?
Printable View
Just curious - how many people have a truly safe direction to orient the muzzle at home when clearing (i.e. a kevlar pad, sand bucket, etc)?
The Floor?
No but a sand bucket would be good.
I live in an underground house with only one exposed wall. I guess you could say I have 5 safe directions.
My house is a twin, built with solid masonry on all sides. Unless I'm pointing the gun towards a window or door, if in the unlikely event a discharge should occur, a pistol round will be stopped by the exteriour wall in that direction (twin is split by a rather thick solid concrete dividing wall). Ditto with shotguns. Rifle fire might go through a brick wall, but I've yet to need to load live rounds into a rifle at home for that to really be a concern; in any case, when pulling the trigger intentionally to decock the rifle, I aim it towards the floor (solid concrete foundation/basement).
I live in an apartment, so pretty much every direction would be unsafe unless I do something about it. I've got a sandbag that I use for dry fire practice and taking down my Glock.
I'm sure there is something available commercially like the clearing barrels we used in the military. I remember them being very solid metal, and probably filled with Kevlar or something. Maybe something similar could be built homemade?
I have to go through some recent magazines but I do remember a product that is a Kevlar mat that you can take with you and use to aim your gun at while clearing it. I could swear it is named something like Aim Here or Point here or similar but I can't find it in google
Safe Direction.
My home was built in 1910. It is built like a doggone fortress.
The interior walls are heavy nearly 1" thick plaster over lathe interior - really odd 3.5" X 8" wall studs with "blown in" Rock Wool Insulation and then all of the outside walls are 14 to 16 inch thick hand hewn mortared stone...so I just use any outside wall.
No problem w/ penetration through my walls.
I just aim at the dog.
I guess if I cleared my guns I could just clear it into my bed. Being a bachelor don't have a real need to have any emty guns (other than .22's and my .30-06) the rest are working guns. The 12 gauge and the zombie invasion rifles I keep with an empty chamber in a locked safe.
The floor, on a ground-floor home with crawl space. While it'll make a hole, it won't take out a neighbor. Not exactly what you were getting at, I'm sure, but there it is. No, I don't have a formal, commercially-sold, bullet-absorbing backstop or unit for firing/clearing. But, yes I treat the floor as the safe direction and clear accordingly.
I aim at the floor.

Gubernatorial Coattail Effects in State Legislative Elections
Hogan, Robert E., Political Research Quarterly
This work explores the influence of gubernatorial coattails in state legislative elections. Through a district-level analysis conducted in nine states, I measure how party support for the governor affects the percentage of the vote received by candidates running for the legislature. Findings indicate that gubernatorial coattails do influence candidate vote margins, even when factors such as campaign spending, past party performance, and other district-level conditions are controlled. However, the magnitude of this effect is mitigated by candidacy status and the closeness of the gubernatorial election. Specifically, coattail effects are dampened by the presence of an incumbent, while their influence is enhanced in states with competitive gubernatorial elections.
This analysis examines gubernatorial coattail effects in state legislative elections. The major question is: How much of an influence does support for the governor have on the votes received by candidates running for the state legislature? In other words, if a party's nominee for governor does well in a district, does this translate into a larger vote share for that party's state legislative candidate? Previous studies have explored the effects of presidential coattails on congressional elections and demonstrate their impact to be quite limited compared to other factors. The present analysis considers this phenomenon in state legislative elections where gubernatorial coattails are expected to be quite prominent. Given the lower visibility of legislative contests (compared to congressional elections), partisan cues are likely to play a greater role in a voter's calculus, resulting in stronger coattails than observed in presidentialcongressional elections. In addition, the variety of settings in which these elections occur makes it possible to test the influence of several contextual factors that might condition the strength of gubernatorial coattails.
Through the use of a district-level analysis, I examine coattail effects in non-presidential elections in nine states: Alaska, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, and Tennessee. The goal is to determine whether coattails have an influence while controlling for a range of candidate, district, and state-level features. In addition, I am interested in understanding the conditions that might mitigate this relationship. For example, how might factors such as candidacy status affect the impact of coattails? Do we find coattails to be stronger in open seat races where the overwhelming influence of incumbency is absent? Also, what role do institutional features play? Previous aggregate-level studies indicate that legislative professionalism serves to insulate elections as incumbents use the perquisites of office to ward off serious challenge. Are coattails indeed less influential in states that have more professional legislatures? Finally, how might features of the statewide race for governor influence the potency of coattails on the district level? Do more hard-fought gubernatorial races result in greater coattail effects? A multi-state, comparative approach enables me to test several of these important conditional relationships.
A coattail is most often described as a spillover effect whereby an election for an upper-level office influences an election for a lower-level office. Many voters are brought to the polls by a high-profile campaign (such as for president or governor) but end up casting ballots for lower level elections as well (such as for Congress or the state legislature). Strong support in a district for a particular party's candidate for higher office may therefore enhance the vote margin for that same party's candidates running lower on the ballot.
Empirical studies over the years have examined this phenomenon, primarily as presidential coattail effects in congressional elections. Findings from this body of research indicate that presidential coattails do exert an influence (Born 1984; Campbell,1986a; Campbell and Sumners 1990; Flemming 1995; Jacobson 1976, 1997; Mondak 1993), although the magnitude of their effect has diminished over time (Calvert and Ferejohn 1983; Edwards 1979; Ferejohn and Calvert 1984), and their degree of influence varies depending on candidacy status (Flemming 1995; Mondak 1993) and voter attitudes (Mondak 1990; Mondak and McCurley 1994). …

One way people are using to save money is to participate in a Pantry Challenge. They try to go a month by using items in their pantry and freezer. They do buy some groceries, but try to limit trips to the store by using things they have on hand.
This will cut down on your bills and also help you use up items before they expire. If you use a menu planning system, you can take inventory of items in your cupboards and freezer and use it to make up your menu plan.
By limiting your trips to the store, you may also limit the temptation of impulse purchases.

Search Bar search RESULTS TABLE background color change
Hello all.
We are developing an iphone app with titanium v1.8.2 and ios sdk5.0.
We want to change the background color of the TEMPORARY TABLE that is displayed/generated when you type in text inside the search bar.
For eg: In the image at
http://www.exploremetro.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/screenshot2.png "search bar
In the above image we want to have the search result table background "transparent" instead of white.
We tried setting the tableView backgroundColor to transparent, but on iphone the background color of the table ALWAYS turns white as soon as you type in a character in the search box.
Is there a way to have it always transparent.
Thank you.
3 Answers
I resolved this issue by editing the titanium SDK.
I'm not an Objective-C programmer, so probably this could be done in a more elegant way, but it just does the trick.
Open the sdk project and edit:
/Classes/Modules/UI/Tableview & Groupvuew/TiUITableview.m
scroll until the end of the file and append this code:
- (BOOL) searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller shouldReloadTableForSearchString:(NSString *)searchString { [controller.searchResultsTableView setBackgroundColor:RGBACOLOR(0, 0, 0, 0)]; [controller.searchResultsTableView setSeparatorStyle: UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone]; return YES; }
#pragma mark Search Display Controller Delegates
then do a clean build.
Now the results table will have a transparent background.
Hope this helps,
- Alessandro
I have a work around but is not pretty. Use the focus event of the search bar to change the background color of the table, and then use any other event to change it back to transparent.
// changes the color of the table to blue every you focus the search bar search.addEventListener('focus', function(e) { tableView.backgroundColor = 'blue' ; }); // changes the color of the table to transparent search.addEventListener('blur', function(e) { tableView.backgroundColor = 'transparent' });
hope this works
Thanks Arian.
We tried your code.
It does change the 'tableView' background, BUT not completely - explanation follows.
What happens is, the iphone search bar GENERATES a TEMPORARY table on top of the ORIGINAL table ('tableView'). This temporary table contains the filtered SEARCH results.
AND THIS TEMPORARY SEARCH TABLE IS NEVER ACCESSIBLE through 'search' object and HAS ALWAS A WHITE BACKGROUND (iphone default).
After the search results are populated in this temporary table and NOW when you CLICK or FOCUS on this temporary table 'blur' and 'focus' events are fired and the background is changed.
The table (TEMPORARY table) stays white as long as the cursor stays in the search bar.
And when the searchBar blurs the ORIGINAL table ('tableView') color changes.
Is there any other way you can reference the temporary table object using the 'search' object.

Oscars 2012: 5 Buzziest Moments of the Night
And the best supporting body part goes to: Angelina Jolie's right leg, or Jennifer Lopez's er, uh . . .
Sunday's 84th Annual Academy Awards at the Hollywood and Highland Center was full of eye-raising surprises -- and not just for Meryl Streep's third Oscar win or French hunk Jean Dujardin's triumph over George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
PHOTOS: What all the stars wore at the Oscars
From two superstars' body-baring onstage moments to Sacha Baron Cohen's Method acting prank on Ryan Seacrest, Us looks back on the buzziest moments of the evening.
Sacha Baron Cohen humiliates Ryan Seacrest! In costume and character as The General, the title, despotic character of his upcoming comedy The Dictator, the mischievous, envelope-pushing comic, 40, hit the red carpet with an urn he claimed the ashes of North Korea's Kim Jong-il. By the time the spoofy interview was over, Cohen had dumped Jong-il's supposed ashes all over Seacrest's tux.
PHOTOS: Embarrassing Oscar moments
Jennifer Lopez's near nip-slip. In the most searched moment of the web Sunday night, the 42-year-old graced the stage with co-presenter Cameron Diaz in a very, very daring Zuhair Murad couture gown that seemed destined to cause a wardrobe malfunction. And despite intense web speculation that Lopez unwittingly exposed herself, her stylist insisted there was "no chance."
Angelina flashes her thigh -- and gets mocked! An uncharacteristically flashy Angelina Jolie couldn't help but show off her right leg in a thigh-high slit dress by Atelier Versace. Presenting awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Screenplay, Jolie, 36, put her hand on her hip in a self-conscious pose. Accepting his Oscar, The Descendants' screenplay co-writer Jim Rash mocked Jolie's stance moments later.
PHOTOS: Best and worst dressed stars of the night
Octavia Spencer's emotional win. Winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, the beloved costar of The Help, 41, burst into tears as the A-list audience gave her a standing ovation. "I'm freaking out!"
Emma Stone's towering (and funny!) achievement. Co-presenting with (and standing tall above) Ben Stiller, the starlet, 23, dazzled in a Giambattista Valli dress and pulled off a hilarious, extended routine that might have failed with less game presenters. "This is my first time presenting," she said. "ait, wait, let's stop rushing. We should have some banter. Where you act cocky and I shut you down and you say I look pretty and I say 'no chance funny boy'!"

I have found that many people who are trying to take off weight keep it a secret. Yes, I know this is a secret to success area, but not that kind of secret. When trying to take off weight don't be secretive about it. Let people know. And let them know specific details. If you just tell people you are trying to loose wight, you might here; "You don't need to loose weight.", or, "One little bite won't hurt." Tell them "I am trying to loose weight by cutting out sweets." or something similar.

One thing people don't like is change. But with change comes growth. Don't run from change. You need to start drinking 8 eight oz glasses of water a day. Don't say, I can't; I don't drink that much water now. I can't change to do that. Sure you can. You need to start moving more. Don't think; I can't make that kind of change. Yes you can!

That is it. What?, you ask. The title of this secret, that's what. Whenever you need help from friends and family members, ask for it. Most people don't want to hurt or offend others. So when your best friend insists you try a piece of her freshly made pie, you'll say yes. Don't do it. Don't sell your friend short. She wants to help you if she can. She just needs to know you really need it. Ask your friend for their help. Just say, could I ask for your help? and explain what you need.

Someone a few years ago told me something a friend had told her. I took this to heart and use it when I am having trouble. Whenever you are having trouble with focus, will power, or any other situation just say to yourself,"I can not have that donut just one more day.", "I can drink my water for now.", "I can feel positive about myself today." You can do anything for just one more day. Then the next day. if you need it, you can have it. But, try to do it one more day.

A key to keeping on track and not quitting is to have a support group. You know; friends. There is about 1 to 2% of people that cannot work with a group and have to do things on their own. But most people thrive in groups with others facing the same issues. AA, Weight Watchers, etc. If you are not in the 1 to 2%, find a group to join. Even if it just three or four friends sitting around a table talking about health issues and sharing secrets, that will help, as long as you stick with it.

I have known many people over the years that have said; "I ate some chocolate while dieting and can't go on because I am a failure!" Wait just a minute, a failure because you ate some chocolate. "I just can't get up and moving in the morning. I am going to give up because I am a loser!" Well then, I am a failure and a loser.

Rural Transit Assistance Program (RTAP)
RTAP is a training, technical assistance and outreach program funded by the Federal Transit Administration as part of the Formula Grants for Other Than Urbanized Area Section 5311 program. Since 1987, RTAP has developed and distributed free training materials and provided technical assistance with the goal of improving mobility for the millions of Americans living in communities with populations under 50,000. The RTAP Program operates on both the state and national level to support community transit.
In Minnesota, RTAP funds are used to provide driver training in passenger assistance, defensive driving and maltreatment awareness as well as driver refresher training. Workshops and conferences for transit managers are regularly offered several times a year. The RTAP program also funds scholarships for transit system personnel to attend conferences of national significance to transit. An advisory committee meets quarterly to provide input to MnDOT staff in carrying out the RTAP Program.
