I'm back in my pre-baby skinny jeans - and I only had to do 38 minutes of high-intensity exercise a week
- Antonia Hoyle made it back into her normal clothes in 12 months
- She used HIIT - high-intensity interval training to get fit again
Before I had my two children I ate healthily and made every effort to keep in shape: I went to the gym five times a week; I did Body Pump classes before breakfast and spinning sessions after work.
Saturday mornings were spent on leisurely 10k runs, and my fitness obsession even saw me finish a marathon. I was a size 10, weighed 9st and exercised for the buzz as much as for the health benefits.
That all changed after my daughter Rosie was born in November 2010. I put on 3st during the pregnancy, finding myself too exhausted to keep fit at all.
Back in her jeans: A year after giving birth to her son Felix, Antonia Hoyle is back in her pre-baby clothes thanks to less than 40 minutes of high-intensity interval training a week
Long after she started sleeping through the night, my old clothes were still so tight that the zips broke. No sooner had I started to lose weight and regain pride in my appearance than I was pregnant for a second time – and put it all back on again.
After my son, Felix, was born in December 2012, the familiar cycle of standing on the scales in despair and avoiding full-length mirrors started afresh.
My need for exercise had never been greater. But with two small children and a demanding job, finding the time to do it was more difficult than ever. I was finding that for all the joy motherhood was bringing me, it had shattered my confidence in my body.
As Felix approached his first birthday last December, I was still 10 lb over my pre-pregnancy weight, but looked worse thanks to lack of tone. When I tried on my favourite size 10 jeans, only to discover they barely pulled up over my hips, I burst into tears. I ate more to keep up my energy; toast and butter for breakfast and chocolate after dinner. I finished off the children's tea and drank wine most evenings to switch off.
The 'before' body: Antonia's post-baby shape
At 9st 11 lb, I wasn't obese. I tried to tell myself it didn't matter that I felt unattractive. But at the back of my mind I knew that the weight signified more than a change in body shape.
By the summer I'd begun to think that perhaps being a mother wasn't enough; I wanted to feel like myself again too.
But was it futile and frivolous to even try to do something about it? I was a 35-year-old mother, after all, not an aspiring model.
I was already vaguely aware of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) – probably the biggest emerging fitness trend of the past few years.
The theory is that as little as a few minutes of intense exercise a week burns more fat and is more beneficial to health than the Government-recommended 150 minutes (30 minutes five times a week) of moderate intensity exercise.
Intense bursts of exercise have been proven to rapidly improve strength, endurance, muscle tone and fitness.
Also, the stress on the body triggers hormones believed to help reduce blood sugar levels and offset type 2 diabetes, and increase the metabolic rate – the rate at which the body burns fat – for between 24 and 36 hours after exercise.
Studies have shown similar benefits from cardio-type exercise, including sprinting and cycling, and resistance workouts, using weights.
Classes have mushroomed, with scary names such as Insanity, which claims to combine exercises that burn 1,000 calories in an hour, and there are DVD-based versions including TurboFire, which features kick-boxing moves, and P90X which involves some serious-looking gym equipment.
But HIIT also courts controversy. BBC presenter Andrew Marr, 54, believes the life-threatening stroke he suffered last January was prompted by intense interval training on a rowing machine. And I was sceptical – I couldn't believe such a regime could have the same benefits as my former hour-long sessions. But, as a busy working mother, the chance to get my pre-baby body back without any significant time sacrifice was beguiling, to say the least.
Hours of poring over web pages led me to The Library (thelibrarygym.com), a gym in West London that specialises in HIIT-style training. As mentioned, there are various home versions but I decided that, if I was going to do such a demanding workout, I wanted to consult an expert first.
Trainer Zana Morris, owner of The Library, assured me that all I needed to do to tone up and slim down was 15 minutes of exercise, three times a week. In just six weeks she could help me shed my post-pregnancy weight for good. 'Most people over-train,' she says.
The session would involve no running or spinning – I would either be lifting weights or doing press-ups or pull-ups. Zana said: 'The benefit of doing resistance training as opposed to aerobic work is that not only does it sculpt the body, but the resultant muscle burns more calories.'
Before I started – on October 28 last year – I had a health and fitness test. At 5ft 6in, I was 9st 11 lb. My body fat percentage was 28.7 per cent –slightly outside the ideal range of 19 to 28 per cent. My cholesterol was a healthy 4.75. I could do 20 press-ups and 60 stomach crunches without stopping for a break.
Zana gave me three different workouts – for chest and back, for legs, and for arms and shoulders. The chest and back workout takes 15 minutes, legs ten minutes and arms and shoulders 13 minutes. Three minutes of abdominal work is included in every session. So I was doing only 38 minutes of exercise a week. But every minute was exhausting. Most exercises were divided into three sets of six repetitions, starting at the heaviest weight you can manage and getting progressively (if only slightly) lighter.
I found the leg work – squats, thigh curls, thigh extensions and calf raises – the easiest to master, albeit agonising. The work on arms, shoulders, chest and back targeted muscle groups I hadn't realised existed. But the often-neglected back muscles are especially important as they improve posture, thus lending the impression of a leaner figure.
The abdominal work – eight sets of 20 crunches that target upper and lower stomach muscles as well as the obliques – was similarly challenging. By the end of each session I was breathless.
a week, I felt stomach muscles emerging that I thought I'd lost for
ever. For the first three weeks my upper body ached constantly. But I
derived a certain sense of satisfaction from the fact it meant it was
And although weight- lifting didn't give me the same endorphin rush as running, I still left the gym feeling elated that I'd pushed my body to exhaustion. Crucially, I could fit in the exercise between my working day and nursery run, and still spend time with husband Chris, 35, an analyst, in the evening.
It was the eating plan that proved the biggest challenge. Zana believes in a high-protein diet, and although a lot of research has shown eating mega-doses of protein does the body few favours, I decided to give it a go. 'Protein builds the structure of your body and helps your muscles recover,' she explained.
She also suggested I cut back on my starchy carbohydrate and fat intake. So, an average day's diet was lashings of fat-free yogurt (500g – the equivalent of four regular-size pots) with sour fruit such as blueberries for breakfast; a can of tuna with green salad for lunch; and chicken or steak with vegetables for dinner.
The amount of meat I was encouraged to eat for my evening meal was, again, enormous – 400g, which is equivalent to four chicken breasts.
Our food bill shot up, but Chris was overjoyed with the abundance of steak in our fridge and our new jumbo-size portions.
Still, it wasn't easy. Despite all the protein, I still often felt hungry and I didn't follow the diet rigidly. I gave in to my cravings for wine (apparently filled with sugar, which I was told to avoid), cereal (likewise) and brie (only cottage cheese is allowed) at least twice a week, and ate a hefty slice of cake on Felix's first birthday.
But Zana said that was OK, as long as I stuck loosely to the plan the rest of the time. I managed to avoid bread and potatoes completely, finding the longer I went without, the less I missed them.
The scales kept me motivated. Within a week I'd lost 3 lb, with my upper body fast gaining muscle definition I hadn't enjoyed since my 20s.
When the six weeks were up, on December 12, I was thrilled to discover I'd lost 10 lb and weighed 9st 1 lb. My body fat had decreased to 23.8 per cent. My overall fitness had improved dramatically – I could now do 30 press-ups and 200 stomach crunches without stopping.
I'd lost 3in off my waist – it was now 26½ in – and 1in off my hips and thighs. Worryingly, my cholesterol level had risen from 4.75 to 5.86, but my blood pressure had decreased.
Physiologist Professor Michael Rennie said this was probably due to the high-protein intake, adding: 'Eating excess protein provides more building blocks for fat and cholesterol, which can be dangerous.'
I quickly learned to adapt the exercise routine to my local gym. Even with the demands of my children and career, I feel I can justify taking 38 minutes out of my week to do it. I still love running, and will try to fit it into my exercise regime, but have found HIIT a more efficient and realistic way to exercise.
Zana says I will maintain my physique by remembering to eat when I'm hungry and limiting starchy carbohydrates to three servings a week. A week on and – save for one blissful pizza and four roast potatoes – I've found it surprisingly easy.
Perhaps it's because I'm the same weight as I was in my 20s. My size 10 skinny jeans slip on effortlessly. My husband, for all his insistence that I didn't need to change, says I look wonderful.
But far better than my weight loss or other's perceptions of me has been the improvement to my self-esteem.
My body is no longer defined by motherhood. It belongs to me again.

Hi Kappy,
Thank you very much for this information. As a result of your helpful post, I was able to do move my Itunes library to my external drive and was able to update my system to Lion.
However, I have run into a problem. After ungrading, I cannot get my iTunes library to show up when iTunes is launched. (I verified it was fine before the upgrade). Now when I launch iTunes, all I see is about 25 songs in my library and none of my saved playists, etc on the LH side. I verified that the paths of the songs on my external drive are pointing to it. However, they don't show up in my library. Is it something simple like a plist? What can I do? Thanks.

"DiChario's well-imagined postapocalyptic world containing only the strangest remnants of our society is a bizarre and funny facade that belies the fascinating depths of thought the novel makes readers plumb while enjoying a charming coming-of-age story."
-- Booklist
"A hilarious and surreal quest. . . One of the most original and entertaining novels I've read so far this year. . . DiChario can be compared to Kurt Vonnegut or early Douglas Adams, but he's pretty much sui generis. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and look forward to his next one."
-- Sci-Fi Weekly
"Using Iroquois myth and tradition as a touchstone, DiChario skillfully roasts our materialistic and gluttonous society. Danny's journey from his homeland to the mythic Valley leads him to civil war, love and loss, hermitage and pyramid schemes. Science fiction is often called the genre of ideas, and Valley of Day-Glo is no exception."
-- McNally Robinson
"Nick DiChario's Valley of Day-Glo is an absurdist curiosity that should appeal to anyone whose sense of reality is a bit off center."
-- Analog Science Fiction And Fact Magazine
"If you enjoy humor along with your post-apocalyptic speculation, if you like Monty Python or Douglas Adams, or if you simply like science fiction or fantasy good enough to transcend the boundaries of genre, then do check out Nick DiChario's Valley of Day-Glo, then go find his previous and equally fine novel, A Small and Remarkable Life. You will be glad you did."

Benefactor Eleanor Dickranian dies day before 102nd birthday
February 22, 2014 - 12:37 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Well-known benefactor Eleanor Dickranian, wife of philanthropist Arshag Dickranian, passed away on February 16 at her home just one day shy of her 102nd birthday, Asbarez reports.
Eleanor Dickranian was born on February 17, 1912, in Selma, California. Two years after graduating from Selma Union High School, she met Archie Dickranian, whom she married in November, 1932, according to an obituary in the Los Angeles Times.
The young couple first lived in Los Angeles, and soon after moved their business and their home to Beverly Hills. Mr. and Mrs. Dickranian were active in establishing and developing Los Angeles' Armenian community, especially embracing projects focusing on education, the arts, and the church.
Eleanor Dickranian was always supportive of her husband's leadership role in many local Beverly Hills organizations.
She is survived by her two daughters, five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and her two sisters. Eleanor is pre-deceased by her husband and her sister.

Wow! Garden grocers made our vecation in Orlando so much better. We were able to have bottled water and not purchase it in the park, snacks for the kids and adult beverages! When we got to orlando all we had to do was call down to our resort desk and it was in our room. I will never travel to Disney with out using Garden Grocer again.

Independent Lens 1999 | TV Show Watchlist
Season 5, Episode 4 A Wedding in Ramallah
First Aired: November 4, 2003
"A Wedding in Ramallah" and life happily ever after in Cleveland? That's what Palestinians Bassam and Mariam hoped for when they married in 2000. Filmmaker Sherine Salama chronicles what they got in an intriguing, fly-on-the-wall style that doesn't stint on sardonic humor. First, there are Muslim gender roles (the fact that the marriage is arranged doesn't help either). Then there's the intifada, which Mariam can't escape until she gets her visa. It takes months (and means living with her in-laws). And what does she hear when she does get to Cleveland? "Bring me my slippers."

It's funny how people deride Microsoft for not being successful in advertising technology when 80 percent of digital media dollars are transacted using its media planning software. Despite the fact that we live in a world where computers can evaluate hundreds of individual bid requests on a single impression and render an ad-serving decision in under 50 milliseconds, the overwhelming majority of display inventory is bought using email and fax machines. Those media plans are manually created in Excel.
Terence Kawaja of the famous LUMAscape maps, which depict the 300-plus companies that enable the 20 percent of display buying that happens programmatically, once said that "Inertia is the agency's best friend" when asked why holding companies were not doing more to bring innovation to advertising. I imagine that part of what he meant was that their common business model (billable hours plus a negotiated margin) does not create an incentive for efficiency. On the contrary, complexity in media planning means more billable hours – as well as a built-in need for agencies' existence. After all, if media buying were easy, then marketers would do it themselves.
A result of this inertia is the fact that Microsoft's business products (Outlook, PowerPoint, and Excel) power the majority of digital media buying today. After research is done in platforms like comScore and Nielsen, media planners output a spreadsheet, create a request for proposal (RFP), and begin the long process of gathering other spreadsheets from publishers. After a few weeks and $40,000 in hours spent cutting and pasting, a media plan is born. This grueling process has the average media planner spending more time on manual, repetitive processes than on strategy and high-value, client-facing activities. You would imagine that agencies would work quickly to adopt technologies that make the transactional nature of media planning more streamlined.
It seems like agencies don't care, as long as they are getting paid for their work, but there are real problems with the Excel model. Here are a few to consider:
- Employee happiness. One of the biggest problems facing agencies is the constant turnover in media planning departments. Agencies hire junior planners directly out of college in many cases, and work them long hours where they perform many of the manual processes that go into digital media plan execution. After a while, they take their training and insights and ascend the ladder into the next position, or take their newfound expertise to the next agency, where they can expect more of the same for a slight raise. Wouldn't it be better to deploy technology that takes out the grunt work of campaign planning, and enables planners to focus on more high-value activities, such as strategy? The costs of employee turnover are high, as are the hidden costs of employee dissatisfaction.
- More bandwidth equals more clients. Although agencies get paid for their hours, there is a point at which an agency can only take on so many clients. After all, adding employees (even low-cost ones) means adding more desk space, furniture, computers, and financial overhead in general. Eventually, an agency starts to need increases in productivity at the employee level in order to scale, and add more clients (and revenue) without overly expanding its physical footprint. Leveraging technology that streamlines the manual part of media planning means being able to do more planning with less planners, enabling shops to scale their market share without adding as many junior personnel.
- You don't get paid for pitching. Digital media shops don't always get paid for all of their hours. Pitching new clients means creating sample plans and putting company resources to work on speculative business, which is all the more reason to find efficiencies in media planning technology.
- Spreadsheets don't learn. One of the biggest problems with digital media planning using manual, spreadsheet-driven processes is that it becomes hard to maintain a centralized knowledge base. Planners leave, plans get stored on disparate hard drives, information on pricing and vendors is fragmented, and it is hard to measure performance over time. Despite the fact that they are getting remunerated for their work, agencies must consider whether the method of using man hours to perform repetitive tasks could be more expensive in the long run. As David Kenny once remarked, "If you are using people to do the work of machines, you are already irrelevant."
At the macro level, the cost-plus pricing model's principle disadvantage is that it creates what economists call a perverse incentive or, put more simply, an incentive for inefficiency. When that cost model is applied to digital media planning – already fraught with inefficiency – you have an environment ripe for disruption. The advent of new, platform-driven media planning and buying technologies is spawning a new era of "systematic guaranteed" buying, which promises to streamline and centralize the way banner ads are bought today. Agencies will be able to dedicate more hours to client-facing tasks and strategy, and publishers will be able to manage their transactional RFP business more seamlessly, and be able to focus their sales teams on super premium, high CPM sales.
By eliminating much of the human cost of media planning and buying, technology can help add more value to the media itself – the real "plus" that we have been looking for.

Gideon must be running out of anti Israel material so now he is scraping the bottom of the barrel...to heck with facts...to heck with the truth...somewhere somehow he has completely forgotten the history of why Israel is in the position that they find themselves in. Gideon cannot seem to put down the words that reflect the truth...it has nothing to do with gall but has everything to do with survival. When someone comes at you with the intent to kill and destroy most sane minded people react and want to preserve their status. To berate the idea of self preservation and to raise the flag for hatred and bigotry and destruction of a people as their goal is really sick. The word gall applies to the palestinians and their islamic/jihadist handlers not to Israel. Gideon if you feel so uncomfortable in the lap of luxury and a good life leave Israel and live with the people who wish you a very short and uncomfortable future.

Natalie Portman's W-day look10.08.2012
When I heard the news that Natalie Portman (Black Swan star and my all-time beauty inspiration) had married her partner Benjamin Millepied in California over the weekend I could not wait for pictures. I had to see them. What did she wear? How did she do her hair? I had this glamorous vision of what she'd look like, something full-length and slinky with an A-line shape – understated, but with a touch of glamour. Her hair would be pulled back into a soft up do – sleek and chic. But wow – was I wrong!
Natalie attended her traditional Jewish ceremony lit by the natural moonlight (that's right – a night time wedding. How romantic!) wearing a tea-length lacy white dress with sheer long sleeves and floral detailing, and a pair of white ballet flats. Her hair was down in natural waves finished with a flower garland and a veil. Her ballet-dancer groom wore a navy tux with a white shirt to the occasion – very sharp.
Although her look wasn't what I imagined, I liked it – there was something youthful and innocent about it.
What do you guys think of Natalie's big-day look?

Here's the question you clicked on:
The mind-body connection can be exhibited by which of the following? A. Fight-or-flight response B. Headaches, dry mouth, fatigue, and feelings of anger. C. Distress D. Eustress
The mind-body connection is the idea that what happens with our bodies affects our minds, and what happens with our minds also affects our bodies. Take a look at B. Headaches, dry mouth, fatigue, and anger. Like I explained before, physical signs can cause mental signs. And mental signs can also be caused by physical signs. Does it make sense that long and persistent headaches can make people cranky? And when we are angry, adrenaline is pumped through our bodies. One of the effects of adrenaline is dry mouth. Basically, anger can lead to a dry mouth.

Amazing mod , pure Lord of the Rings experience , custom content never before seen in other mods for this game
I hope it isn't dead and i hope you will port it to the HD
If not or meanwhile i hope you guys give the mod its own widescreen capability like Age of Chivalry Hegemony brings along with the well appreciated 60 fps increase that i think would really be nice additions
Those improvements you mentioned are made by Userpatch, which can be applied to ToME. Get it here: Userpatch.aiscripters.net
Hey Jorritkawehr is this a new patch. I mean a really new patch? :)
It's an unofficial bugfix and feature update. It's been around for a while now, so not that new, but very much worth getting.
Hey thanks a lot
Appreciate it
Gonna play it again soon
Should i apply the patch after or before i install ToME ?
It probably doesn't matter, but the recommended practice is userpatch, then ToME.
This mod looks great! but I would like to know when will be ready the alpha version. please do not leave this work.
So um.... when's the new update comming anyway??
I would like to know if this project is still going on. I mean, the new version of the mod with the Harad/Rhûn new layout of units and buildings, etc. Thank you.
It is.
Is there a release date? :)
I need more information. Lucky that it seems that the mod is not dead :)
Follow development here and make your own conclusions:
It's really impossible to say when it will arrive, but definite progress has been made.

Excellent game. Units are have amazing detail. I don't like the design of the Elven buildings but hey, that's just opinion. I haven't noticed any glaring glitches. **Just a few problems... After opening the game a few times, it stopped playing 'Lord of the Rings main theme' and replaced it with the standard medley. I suppose that if I reinstalled it, it would work just fine but I'm far too lazy. I noticed that Rohan, as an AI, will build the Hornburg rather than the standard castle for that type…

Eco-conscious vehicle options have never been greater, leaving consumers wondering where to find the best value. The question becomes more complicated when the buyer is a corporation looking to revamp its company fleet of vehicles.
Researchers and data analysts at Ford Motor Company have developed a new tool to help buyers build a better fleet. The Ford Fleet Purchase Planner™ offers guidance in choosing from Ford's vehicle lineup, while helping to manage cost and informing buyers how their choices will aid in reducing their company's carbon footprint.
"The one-size-fits-all approach is outdated," said John Ginder, manager of systems analytics and environmental sciences, Ford research and advanced engineering. "Given what can now be done with analytics, customers shouldn't settle for buying one vehicle for an entire fleet based on factors such as projected use or miles per gallon."
Using the planner, customers build a fleet of Ford vehicles. Factoring in environmental concerns, individual driving habits of employees and terrain traveled, the planner then calculates the fleet's environmental impact and cost. Buyers are able to change the lineup until the mix meets their goals.
"This level of individualized customer service is exactly why we continue to invest in analytics and big data," said Ginder.
Already, the patent-pending tool has helped KONE, a leader in elevator and escalator manufacturing, commit to replacing its fleet of 160 Ford Fusion cars with the new Fusion Hybrid by 2018. The move is expected to result in a reduction in KONE's carbon emissions by 850 metric tons a year while saving the company money.
"We are proud to continue to do our part to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help provide our employees with a safe, reliable vehicle to travel to site locations," said Adam Judd, KONE sourcing director, Americas.
In recent years, Ford has expanded its hybrid and EV vehicle offerings to include the C-Max, Focus Electric, Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi. With all of the options available from Ford, the company recognized the potential for confusion, which prompted development of the new tool.
The Ford Fleet Purchase Planner is the result of Ford's commitment to data and analytics. The unique tool was among three finalists for the 2014 Innovative Applications in Analytics Award by INFORMS, the largest association for professionals in analytics. A year prior, Ford won the 2013 INFORMS Prize, which acknowledges a company's overall achievement in analytics.
The Ford Fleet Purchase Planner is available only to companies maintaining fleet vehicles.

Yes I do! Regular season NBA is the absolute worst regular season in all of sports. It's no wonder there is so much "talk" during the on and off season. Sadly the talk ends up being way more interesting than the games themselves. Bring on the NFL where the games themselves actually matter.

Mike Merrill is a publicly traded person. Since his IPO in 2008, most of Merrill's major life decisions have been run by a board of shareholders — from whom he can date to what kind of hair he can grow on his face. Now, Merrill would like to bring his shareholders to a 17-year-old named Jackson Gariety.
This may sound completely crazy, but before you decry the state of our poor dystopian world, consider this: Weren't we all kind of, if we're being generous, idiots at age 17? Maybe what we could've used, aside from an occasional kick in the shins, is semi-binding advice from a large group of people with a stake in our future.
Just look at what's happened to Mike Merrill. The reason he's now trying to push his shareholders' decisions onto a new person is because he's been too busy since his board voted for him to quit his job and start his own company this past March. The job change, which only one shareholder voted against, was a "huge boost of confidence," Merrill told National Journal this fall. It's the kind of confidence that could, theoretically at least, be beneficial for a freshly minted adult.
Jackson Gariety, like Merrill, wouldn't be legally required to do anything Merrill's shareholders voted for. So don't expect a moral dilemma if shareholders ask Gariety to kill. As Merrill put it to NJ this fall, he is only beholden to his shareholders as much as he wants his share price to be high. And, presumably, if he were to refuse to obey an order from his board, prices would collapse. So it's in the best interest of everyone to make decisions that would actually be the most beneficial to Merrill's, or Gariety's, life.
Of course, a lot of what a group of shareholders here would be doing for Gariety is taking the advisory role of a group of friends. Merrill's rule for questions he'd put to shareholders is basically, "Anything I would normally ask my friends for advice for, I'd go to the shareholders and ask questions there."
The difference is, unless he wants his market to tank, he has to take his shareholders' advice. It helps to make tough decisions a little bit simpler. For a 17-year-old, that could be just the right thing.

Foreign Policy takes a look at the future of mining the estimated "100,000 near-Earth objects—including asteroids and comets—in the neighborhood of our planet. Some of these NEOs, as they're called, are small. Others are substantial and potentially packed full of water and various important minerals, such as nickel, cobalt, and iron. One day, advocates believe, those objects will be tapped by variations on the equipment used in the coal mines of Kentucky or in the diamond mines of Africa. And for immense gain: According to industry experts, the contents of a single asteroid could be worth trillions of dollars." But the technology to get us there is only the first step. Experts say "a multinational body might emerge" to manage rights to NEOs, as well as a body of law, including an international court.
Not to be outdone by Jeffrey Goldberg's recent piece in The Atlantic about President Obama's foreign policy, the New York Times Magazine checks in with a longread on the president's economic legacy. In it, Obama is cognizant that the economic reality--73 straight months of growth--isn't matched by public perceptions. Some of that, he says, is due to a constant drumbeat from the right that "that denies any progress." But he also accepts some blame himself. "I mean, the truth of the matter is that if we had been able to more effectively communicate all the steps we had taken to the swing voter," he said, "then we might have maintained a majority in the House or the Senate."
Ronald Reagan's children and political allies took to the media and Twitter this week to chide funnyman Will Ferrell for his plans to play a dementia-addled Reagan in his second term in a new comedy entitled Reagan. In an open letter, Reagan's daughter Patti Davis tells Ferrell, who's also a producer on the movie, "Perhaps for your comedy you would like to visit some dementia facilities. I have—I didn't find anything comedic there, and my hope would be that if you're a decent human being, you wouldn't either." Michael Reagan, the president's son, tweeted, "What an Outrag....Alzheimers is not joke...It kills..You should be ashamed all of you." And former Rep. Joe Walsh called it an example of "Hollywood taking a shot at conservatives again."
In a sign that she's ready to put a longer-than-expected primary battle behind her, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D) is no longer going on the air in upcoming primary states. "Team Clinton hasn't spent a single cent in … California, Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon and West Virginia, while" Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) "campaign has spent a little more than $1 million in those same states." Meanwhile, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Sanders' "lone backer in the Senate, said the candidate should end his presidential campaign if he's losing to Hillary Clinton after the primary season concludes in June, breaking sharply with the candidate who is vowing to take his insurgent bid to the party convention in Philadelphia."
The team behind the bestselling "Clinton Cash"—author Peter Schweizer and Breitbart's Stephen Bannon—is turning the book into a movie that will have its U.S. premiere just before the Democratic National Convention this summer. The film will get its global debut "next month in Cannes, France, during the Cannes Film Festival. (The movie is not a part of the festival, but will be shown at a screening arranged for distributors)." Bloomberg has a trailer up, pointing out that it's "less Ken Burns than Jerry Bruckheimer, featuring blood-drenched money, radical madrassas, and ominous footage of the Clintons."

Everything dealt with efficently and courteously
Professional Liability Insurance (Renewal)
Towergate have consistently provided me with my professional indemnity insurance for over 12 years. The communications and contact has been positive, however I would appreciate their consideration of providing either some form of 'no claims' discounts or some form of rewards for staying with them. As you can appreciate - having been with them for this length of time, and not having any insurance claims made, it would be advantageous for towergate and their customers to look at how they might offer a USP and provide further compelling reasons to stay with them.

I would give Towergate a good rating as they are easily contactable without being put on hold with endless information options, I often speak to the same person and because they are present at the trade shows it means I can put a face to the name as too. This means the whole experience is more personal.

I had to call about my insurance, this was because you put the price up nearly £40 and I couldn't understand why. It was change when I called, I'm sorry to say I am busy and I would like the price I am going to pay on the renewal notice. Thank you
