Vertical Core Training: Get Your Clients Off the Mat
Pete McCall
on Tuesday, April 24, 2012
How many times have you been asked the best way to develop a six-pack? If you're like me I always chuckle a little and inform the inquisitor that he or she already has a six-pack – the problem is that it's usually being stored in a cooler. I go on to inform him or her that core training requires a lot more work than one or two exercises and that I can help them move toward their goals, but it will require some commitment on their part.

Reserve a Luncheon or Private Party!
Tradewinds can accommodate large parties & gatherings.
Call 850-678-8299 now to book your reservation.
Since 1996, TradeWinds Restaurant has been a local staple in Niceville, Florida. Everyday, we buy our fresh fish locally. Our kitchen crew prepares fresh ingredients each day, cooked to order each night. TradeWinds is basically an Italian restaurant serving chicken, veal, seafood, pasta and pizza along with grilled steaks and veal chops (no baked potatoes!) and weekend specials. What started out as a sandwich and beer brewers hang out, has now grown into a favorite, Italian, casual, eclectic, noisy-when-busy, open kitchen restaurant.
On October 5, 2014, Tom D'Eufemia, "the man" of TradeWinds Restaurant left his life here on earth. Tradewinds was Tom's life's passion which was fueled by his Italian Aunt Nettie who fed him and taught him how to cook Italian food. Tom created a place where people came to share his love of food, wine, beer and most importantly, endless friendships. When anyone dined at TradeWinds, you ate at Tom's table and drank out of his wine glasses. He not only treated you like his family, but you became family. His passion was contagious to all who met him even if it was just for a moment's time. Tom started out as "the cook" for his golf buddies on the weekends. Gradually the business snowballed into something Niceville must have wanted and needed.
Although the food and the business have developed beyond Tom's expectations, through the dedication of our head chef and Tom's wife and all the TradeWinds family of employees, TradeWinds will continue. Tom has laid the groundwork for his legacy. A pair of Toms' shoes sits by the front door that absolutely no one will ever be able to fill.
TradeWinds prides itself on their "regulars" and the families, friends and snowbirds who return again and again to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, marriages and other special occasions. Come in and enjoy Tom's heart and soul, a place where success was built on consistent quality food, great employees, lively atmosphere and a personal touch.

text: Since Brazil won the World Cup hosting rights in 2007, the city of Rio de Janeiro alone has forcibly removed twenty-two thousand families from their homes, mostly in the favelas. CCTV Correspondent Gerry Hadden talks with young football players of the Rio area, who've lost their homes. And some say it is due to the game they love.They are the hillside shanty towns, where most residents of Rio live. The city denies the displacements are due to the Cup. It says that the homes were at risk of flooding and landslides.However the public doesn't seem too convinced. The forced evictions are part of what's been fueling months of protests. Many believe Brazil's rich are using the World Cup as an excuse to snatch up their poor slums, slums that enjoy a privileged view of the sea.Even though the passion for football runs deep in Brazil, some Rio residents are so upset about being displaced from their homes, they are hoping their own country gets eliminated from the World Cup tournament. Eomar Freitas is one of them. "I'll be rooting against Brazil. If they're eliminated I'll be happy. All the money they have spent on Maracanã and other stadiums could have gone to other things." Freitas is a displaced resident and says more focus should be towards education and healthcare.If favela displacement continues, evictees fear they'll end up nowhere and be at the mercy of the militias.Follow Gerry Hadden on Twitter @gerryhadden

These colorful religious Christmas card greetings depict the nativity from a very original standpoint. Centered is the holy family, resting in their well-lighted home. Beyond we can see an eastern-style architecture, and the sky is alight with color, especially that coming from the North Star. The leaves of the tree at the front of the picture as well as the lake are beaming with starlight. A lovely image to receive come Christmas time.
Religious Christmas card greetings are a wonderful way to show clients and employees that you care enough to send them your Christmas wishes.

Sukhwinder Singh, who has lent his voice to stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Salman Khan, loves glamour, but he doesn't want it to overshadow his talent.
The singer, who will be seen in Aaj Tak channel's talk show"Sureeli Baat" - dedicated to musicians, thinks that glamour and talent have to go hand-in-hand. And for him, glamour goes beyond accessories and clothes.
"I love glamour but my preference will always be talent first. Glamour can't produce talent, but it can happen vice-versa. Glamour is behaviour of a person or even a smile," Singh told IANS.
As he gives weightage to talent, he doesn't wish to be a part of reality shows.
"Some of the contestants are extremely talented, but I don't like it when they dramatise it. Drama is also bad for contestants as it adds on to stress and overexertion," he said.
Having sung in languages like Tamil, Oriya, Punjabi and many more, he feels blessed. He thinks that since god has given him music, he must follow it.
He is looking forward to his dream project Music Circus and calls it Indian Opera.
"I will be performing with Music Circus in November. It is a band of 60 to 70 people from Morocco, Russia, Mexico and Gypsy community of north India. We won't be selective about cities. Wherever we get opportunity, we will show our talent," said Singh.
The hitmaker of dance numbers like "Chaiyya chaiyya", "Hud hud dabangg", "Marjaani" and "Dard-e-disco", has sung various songs, but his favourite is dance genre.
"There isn't any genre that I haven't tried, but I love to perform on dance numbers," said Singh, who enjoys singing in a recording studio as well as on stage.

Strage it must appear that the account of perhaps the most celebrated and, certainly to the English nation, the most momentous voyage of discovery that has ever taken place - for it practically gave birth to the great Australasian Colonies - has never before been given to the world in the very words of its great leader. It has fallen out in this wise. After the return of the Endeavour it was decided that a full and comprehensive account of the voyage should be compiled. COOK'S JOURNAL dealt with matters from the point of view of the seaman, the explorer, and the head of the expedition, responsible for life, and for its general success.

Jim Henson's Muppets made pigs and frogs endearing, and Walt Disney turned a common rodent into a cultural icon. Now, Drew Oliver thinks...
STAMFORD, Conn. — Jim Henson's Muppets made pigs and frogs endearing, and Walt Disney turned a common rodent into a cultural icon.
Now, Drew Oliver thinks it's time for bacteria, viruses and other maligned microorganisms to share the love.
Instead of standard Christmas gifts, a growing number of people are looking under the tree for giant stuffed cold germs, cuddly E. coli, hug-worthy heartworm and other oddities from Oliver's Stamford-based company, Giant Microbes. Oliver says the toys are true to the microbes they represent except, of course, for their eyes and enhanced colors.
Once popular mostly as "geek chic" among medical workers and niche groups, the stuffed microbe toys have spawned Facebook fan sites and a subculture of collectors who eagerly await each new release.

They pounced on this fall's newcomers — including measles, rubella and the oh-so-popular diarrhea — and posted pictures on their Facebook pages of their new mini-microbe Christmas tree ornaments.
Being a purveyor of pretend pestilence might seem an odd career turn for Oliver, 40, who was a Chicago corporate attorney when he incorporated Giant Microbes in 2001.
As a father of four, he thought stuffed versions of microbes that cause sore throats, the flu and other common ailments could help children understand the illnesses and avoid some of them with good hygiene.
Slow start
Sales launched in 2002, but business took a few years to pick up and, even then, largely in niche markets such as museum shops and college bookstores. But in the last few years, the stuffed germs have spread like the common cold microbe that remains its flagship and biggest seller.
"All four of my kids are really into science, and my two oldest girls thought they were the coolest thing ever," said Joslyn Gray, a Giant Microbes fan who lives near Houston. "There's just so much crap out there for kids these days. To find something that's clever and smart and still fun is really great."
Gray discovered Giant Microbes after writing on her blog, www.starkravingmadmommy.com, about her 4-year-old son's germ anxiety after preschool lessons on hygiene. She was flooded with suggestions from readers to introduce him to the cuddly versions of the germs he feared so much.
"Having them brought something lighthearted to the subject — and this was after weeks of him wiping down everything he encountered with anti-viral tissues to the point where it was really affecting his life," Gray said.
Recently the Giant Microbes line has gone beyond the common microbes to exotic ones such as malaria and sleeping sickness, tiny critters such as dust mites and bed bugs, and water dwellers like copepods and algae.
Some American Red Cross divisions use the stuffed red blood cell in school presentations, and the Education Centre Library serving Ontario's Canadore College and Nipissing University has dozens of Giant Microbes in its lending inventory.
Teaching tool
Some students take them to classrooms during their student-teaching stints. Others use them as biology study tools.
Oliver will not disclose sales figures for the privately held company, but its success allowed him to leave his attorney job, move back to his hometown of Greenwich and run the business full time. It now has headquarters in Stamford, along with a United Kingdom office and distribution partners worldwide.
The microbes, which Oliver describes as whimsy rooted firmly in science, hearken back to his college days as an editor at the offbeat Harvard Lampoon humor magazine.
The toys depict each microbe at a million times its actual size or larger, and each comes with an often breezy but informative information card about their origins and avoiding illnesses they spread.
"From the beginning they were designed to be whimsical, of course, with the eyes and features like that, but also scientifically sound — to the extent that a plush doll of a germ can be," Oliver said.
Another category that sells well: the microbes carrying sexually transmitted diseases, often popular as joke gifts. Needless to say, Oliver adds, those aren't marketed to children.
"The idea is never to make fun of these issues or people who are contending with them," he said. "They can provide an approachable way to talk about what's otherwise, in some circumstances, a dry or very awkward subject."


text: After playing Skyrim Dawnguard and completing the storyline, I found that the main plot of the game is somewhat similar to storyline of Van Helsing. Also some parts of the movie gave a feel of story from Blade Trinity. I think that if anybody wants to know the story of Skyrim Dawnguard just because they had played Skyrim, Ill suggest to them that they should instead watch Van Helsing. The game too is not worth playing. So instead of wasting 20 to 30 hours playing Skyrim Dawnguard, one can just watch Van Helsing. Does anybody else too feel the same about Skyrim Dawnguard like me?

Rainbow Live Wallpaper
Mohammed El Batya

( 22)
-- *Update: 1.4*
Now you can change the color value!!
Now you can change the color value!!
This Living Wallpaper will draw colorful rainbow rays on your desktop. Just watch them getting reflected on your screen.
You can set the "FPS" and "number of rays" to save power. If you touch the screen, all rays are moved to that point and continue from there.
Nice LWP Even tho it's abandoned. (Notice date) .. It's good, tho..
This is so cool! Everyone who sees it loves it... Samsung vibrant
Wish the red looked a little less like crayola crayons.
Honestly, needs work, too slow and lags. When the touch setting is on its very annoying for multiple touches.
Update with color themes or values, such as just blue or red, or a fall theme.
Very nice wallpaper. Best on the market. Works on MyTouch and g1. Obviously works on nexus.

High School Placement Test (HSPT) FAQ
Can I use a study guide from another Catholic School Entrance Exam ?
NO - if you are taking the HSPT, get the HSPT one. Many of the questions are unique to this exam
Who administers the HSPT?
The HSPT is administered by the Scholastic Testing Service or STS in Bensenville, Illinois.
Where do I register for the HSPT?
All registration is through your school. There is no central or national registration.
Can I re-take the HSPT?
Yes you can re-take the HSPT but you LOWEST score will be used.
What are the Math components on the HSPT?
The Math section covers arithmetic, basic algebra, word problems, math concepts (greater than, less than etc.) and basic geometry.
information on TABE test preparation?
We don't have any info on the TABE right now - sry :(
How many questions in all are on the HSPT?
There are 280 questions total that must be answered in 2 1/2 hours - Here is the breakdown:
Reading 62 questions - 25 minutes
Includes: Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension
Mathematics. 64 questions - 45 minutes
Includes: Word Problems, math concepts and geometry problems
Language. 60 questions - 25 minutes.
Includes: Capitalization, grammar, usage, punctuation, spelling and sentence structure.
Verbal skills. 60 questions - 16 minutes
Includes: Analogies, logic, antonyms,synonyms, and verbal classification.
Quantitative skills. 52 questions - 30 minutes
Includes: geometric and non-geometric comparison, Number Manipulation and Number Series.
We do not offer a TABE currently but will be adding in the near future
What is the score you need to pass in math and lanuage art
Scholastic Testing Services does not release a passing score by subject. Here is what they say about scoring, which is pretty general. Your score is based on the number of questions you answer correctly and points are not deducted for wrong answers. So the best strategy is to answer as many questions as you can, even if you have to guess.
The scores are converted to a standard score on a scale from 200 - 800
Okay in order for me to get a diploma my test score should be what in math and in language art reading writing or what other subject
Passing Scores for the HIgh School Placement are a little complicated and there is no one number or one answer - here is a detailed explanation - http://www.testpreppractice.net/HSPT/hspt-scores.aspx
My sons score report is not as detailed as that of another boy in our block. Why is that?
Each school uses the scoring services of their choice. The scoring criteria are the same, but the presentations of the scores may be different based on the reporting style of the scoring services used by the school where the exam is taken.
I seem to have misplaced my daughters score report. How do I get a replacement copy?
Replacement scores can be requested from the school where the exam was taken. If the school no longer has a copy of the scores, then parents can contact STS.
How much does it cost to apply for the HSPT?
Contact the school of choice for information regarding application fees.
how can i retake the HSPT if i didn't do well? When and where do I apply to retake it?
Yes you can re-take the exam but I believe your lowest score will be used.
When is the HSPT examination coming up?
The HSPT is administered by various schools independently. You would need to check with the school of choice for information regarding exam dates and registration procedures.
What can be considered to be a good score for the HSPT? My daughter's score is listed as 80% percentile.
Each school determines its acceptable pass score to be used for admission decisions. Generally, a score above 600 will get you placed above the 80% percentile. This is usually a good score as it means that the candidate score above 80% of other test takers. The school will however have specific information regarding acceptable desired scores.
St. Agnes Catholic School in Arlington is offering the HSPT study course in July. My son will be at camp. I really want him to take this course. It there another place where it is offered? And When?
There are quite a few different options. I would suggest contacting the school where you are seeking admittance and they can recommend local courses and times.
If you take a high school placement test does it apply to only that school you took it at or for another high school that has a test like that?
Out of the 298 questions of HSPT test how do need to at least get right to pass or win a full schoalrship
That depends on who is offering the scholarship and which school is giving the test
How much is taken off if you don't answer a question or answer a question wrong?
No marks are taken off for wrong answers
I just took the HSPT test two days ago. Do you know when I will get my results (by mail)
It varies by school - talk to the organization that gave the test for the timing on results
1 - Notification of when your question has been answered. (Optional)

"GASTRONOMY GUIDE- MAIN COURSE" Top 5 Page for this destination Belgrade Favorite Tip by ruki
Belgrade Favorites: 225 reviews and 248 photos
Favorite thing: BEANS is among the favorite local dishes that come in many forms, from soup to chowder, vegetarian and "army style". Beans are cooked with chopped onions, bay leaf and addition of meats, diced bacon or smoked spareribs, with roux in the end. Beans are usually accompanied with sausage, pork chops or similar kinds of meat. Salad is an indispensable accompaniment to beans. We recommend cabbage or roast peppers in oil with garlic. You will appreciate beer or spritzer with it.
Sauerkraut is traditional on the winter menu.
But, we also eat fresh cabbage, as salad, or cooked in many ways. PODVARAK is one of them. One cabbage is chopped in thin slices and sautéed on chopped onion. The vegetables are placed on fat with addition of diced bacon. It is subsequently baked in the oven and served with turkey or pork roast. It is a must on a Serbian dining table for winter holidays. High quality red wine will pair nicely with it.
WEDDING CABBAGE is cooked in a large clay pot for hours on end. It is made of sauerkraut, pieces of mutton, beef, pork and smoked meet with lots of onions and spices (pepper, salt, bay leaves). The taste of the dish is heavenly, and good red wine will make it even better.

Lemonade Day Recipes to Explore
Lemonade Day will be here soon on July 11. Have you perfected your recipe?
Lemonade Day will be here soon on July 11. Have you perfected your recipe?
Fall is my season, cooler weather, beautiful colors of the changing of the leaves, and the anticipation of the upcoming holidays. So when that first little cool "snap" hit, I was already thinking of delicious comfort foods.
There are some ridiculous national holidays on the books, but this is not one of them. Who doesn't love a warm grilled cheese? Remember the days your mom would make you one with a cup of tomato soup on a cold day? Yum! Let's celebrate this great holiday with some new fantastic recipes.
Why fight the crowds this Easter Sunday? Don't go to a restaurant, cook at home. Nothing can finish off an Easter spent with family better than sitting down for a home cooked meal. Don't know what to make? Well, let us help you.
Tomorrow, every person in America will come together to celebrate our country and the freedom we have. Instead of having your typical fourth of July meal, why not spice it up and be creative and make this a holiday to remember for your guests? We found some fun and yummy little treats to help your Independence day stand out and make it a memorable one.
Let's fire up the grill! It's Memorial Day weekend and that means it's summer. Summer is the time to get your grill on. I came across this recipe a year ago and I thought I would share it with you guys! It is delicious and best of all, it's easy.
Hey, I just found out it's National Chocolate Chip day! Why didn't somebody tell me? Where would we be without the chocolate chip cookie, I ask? It would be a sad, sad world I'll tell ya that much.

A Vancouver-based tech company will build a $1 million headquarters in Clark County, thanks in part to an economic incentive passed by commissioners earlier this year to generate much-needed local jobs.
TennMax America Inc. expects to break ground within the next month on its 6,500-square-foot office and manufacturing building at 7500 N.E. St. Johns Road. It agreed to create 15 new jobs in order to qualify for the county's fee holiday, which waived between $6,000 and $10,000 worth of project development fees, according to county officials. Clark County's three-member board of commissioners approved the incentive in February to attract and retain companies that produce jobs.
Leaders of TennMax, which now employs 10 workers in Vancouver, declined to say when the company plans to hire the additional 15 employees. The company also will get a break by being able to build without meeting stringent rules dealing with stormwater runoff. That's because a plan for the site was approved 10 years ago to develop an office building that was never built for the property's owner, Schlecht Construction, which will sell the one-acre parcel to TennMax America.
"Their building has to be the same footprint" to be grandfathered in and follow the old stormwater rules, said Larry Schlecht, president of Vancouver-based Schlecht Construction, the project's general contractor.
Not having to comply with the state's new stormwater regulations could lower the cost of the project by about $100,000, Schlecht estimated.
TennMax, which manufactures most of its components in factories in Taiwan and China, has also begun manufacturing parts at its Vancouver facility at 14413 N.E. 10th Ave. But the leased site is too small to handle growth , said Jeff Davis, 51, who founded the company with his Taiwanese business partner Manfred Tseng.
TennMax sells its products — parts such as radio frequency
devices that are part of a wide variety of electronics — to companies such as Tektronix and National Instruments. Davis said his company's products fill a niche market for makers of electronic devices.
He said company sales have doubled each of the the last two years due to the explosive market for mobile devices.
"We sell things to the companies that build the equipment that make the backbone of the cellular network," Davis said.
The company generates between $10 million and $20 million annually and employs about 250 workers worldwide.
The county's fee holiday policy applies to "development proposals that can demonstrate creation of a minimum of 15 jobs." A company official said TennMax will achieve that goal.
"We plan to meet the requirements, but just can't tell you when it will be," said Crystal Phillipson, the company's Vancouver operations manager.
TennMax plans to move into the new building in September from its leased Vancouver site. By the time the building is ready, its employment numbers should be at or near the requirements laid out by the fee holiday, said Marty Snell, director of the county's community development department.
"We'll be tracking and making sure they satisfy the terms of the agreement," he said, adding that county officials would engage the help of the state's Employment Security Department to help track company employment numbers.
Regardless of its staff size, economic development boosters say TennMax America is the kind of company it had in mind when it urged the county to create the fee holiday, passed by commissioners on Feb. 7.
"We wanted companies that sell outside of our local economy because they bring in dollars from outside our community — they add to our economy," said Bonnie Moore, director of business services for the Columbia River Economic Development Council.
TennMax sells its components to companies across the U.S. and in Canada, Asia and European countries
"We worked with them to create a custom package," said Moore, adding that TennMax is one of 20 similar-sized companies helped last year by the development council.
The nonprofit business and jobs recruiter is funded by a mix of government grants and member dues.
"They (TennMax) are growing, they're hiring and they're buying a building," Moore said. "Those are our ideal clients."
Editor's note: This story has been modified for clarification. The proposed TennMax site is outside Vancouver city limits.

Common sense lacking in arguments for tax cuts
Stuart Jolly (Point of View, Dec. 26) is shilling for the right-wing Koch brothers. Don't raise taxes on the wealthy, he booms! Tax cuts for everyone! His argument that low-tax states somehow attract wealthy people is nonsense. If wealthy folks want to move somewhere else, it's likely more about location than taxes.
How can anyone propose tax cuts and push for growth when we can't even take care of the people we have? Tax cuts in this last decade have damaged many state agencies, leaving them to put patches on top of patches, their workers criticized for failing to do the jobs of what should be for two or even three people. Our legislators routinely run away from their jobs because of well-financed mouthpieces like Jolly who spin them into submission. It is indecent.
The propaganda of Jolly and the subhead "It's Common Sense" is a slap in the face to the hardworking state employees who serve with dignity the citizens of Oklahoma. The people of Oklahoma deserve more than reheated campaign bilge from discredited political causes. Jolly's point of view doesn't represent the heart and soul of the Republican Party.

Outlast to be released through Steam in September
Outlast has been given a PC release date via Steam.
Here's the synopsis in case you forgot about it:
"In the remote mountains of Colorado, horrors wait inside Mount Massive Asylum. A long-abandoned home for the mentally ill, recently re-opened by the "research and charity" branch of the transnational Murkoff Corporation, has been operating in strict secrecy… until now.
"Acting on a tip from an inside source, independent journalist Miles Upshur breaks into the facility, and what he discovers walks a terrifying line being science and religion, nature and something else entirely. Once inside, his only hope of escape lies with the terrible truth at the heart of Mount Massive."
The survival horror game from Red Barrels will land on PC September 4 for $19.99.
A PS4 version is in development and will release next year sometime.

We all started writing songs on pads, but the inconvenience of it all was a bit too much, so we moved to the first Nokia 5110's till we ended up BlackBerry phones, which makes it easier to jot something when it hits you, no matter where you are.
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
In the rap game, as an artist, it is hard to find a trust-able corporate suit. The labels are sharks, game masters with a big smile, ready to pimp. But at times, one would consider signing a deal so to get a bit of paper from it all.
Since Marvi Marv had been releasing singles and mix tapes locally, he made his own waves and the listeners have been requesting for him to deliver an album at the same time when record labels where making calls that where all declined.
Marvi Marv is mentioning that regardless of what people say or how the trends may set a standard, how you make music and whichever direction you take, you should do what you feel and prove that you are the best at it.
Fear is an emotion induced by a perceived threat which causes entities to quickly pull far away from it and usually hide. Those who let fear consume them will weaken and let it control them, as the government is doing to the society.
I'm hiding my wealth from women/gold diggers.
I'm a South African rapper, regardless though, I have what it takes to stand on the same slate as American rappers.
So to be born again.
I want my wealth in rap without being a part of any dark party.

Whether or not you believe in fashion rules (we, for the record, most emphatically do not), you're sure to notice an influx of white post Memorial Day. Even a woman for whom leopard is a neutral can take a palette cleanser every now and again, so we've assembled our favorite fresh whites that are so DVF.
The Iggy Bag: White can be totally rock 'n' roll (example: Bianca Jagger's wedding suit), which is why our leather-and-chain Iggy works so well in this summer-ready shade.
The Arlette Jacket: This intricate lace jacket sold out almost immediately on DVF.com, but if you absolutely need it to refresh your favorite work shift or jeans, you're in luck: it's still available in select DVF shops and at neimanmarcus.com—for now.
The Genesis Pant: This slim stretch trouser quickly became a favorite for bringing a certain (very flattering) lightness to work and weekend.
The Fiorenza Dress: We are currently obsessed with lace, and this fit and flare dress is a super chic way to wear the trend.
The Bitsy Bag: If you were overzealous in your spring cleaning, and have pared your purse down to the absolute minimum, we can't think of a better micro mini bag than the Bitsy. If you're still stuck on a tote, this is a great wallet substitute as well.
The Lauryn Top: We've elevated the plain white tee with front pleating and a neckline in – you guessed it – a modern, geometric, must-have white lace.

That's what we need to form this bottom. Sideways first. If the bottom is in, mid-6's should be coming next.
i had sold for a small loss at 6.17 and bought back in at 5.73. hopefully you're right i was saying earlier that 5.72 is the line in the sand if you look at the 5 year chart. although 5.72 was technically broken already the break was minimal and has bounced ever since so the long term chart will still show a double bottom if you draw a line from there, assuming it continues bouncing. i never expected to get in this cheap this is a clear multibagger in the years ahead.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Industrial demand needs of silver to increase by 35% by 2015 - Mineweb and MIT. That may not seem to be a substantial increase, but compare it to supply. There are 700 to 800 million ounces of usable new silver each year, and consumers are currently buying close to that amount. Silver demand is increasing by 100 million ounces per year, while mining production is only increasing by 20 to 30 million ounces. The increase in the silver supply is three times less than the increase in silver demand. Sure the FED and the corporate world that uses silver wants to bring the price down using the aide of banks. This is called good old American manipulation, but consider the rules of supply and demand over time, the third ratio for the equation. A long and board subject, but the basics are in the EXK video - two parts under 'investor hub' on their web site.
This will place silver supply and demand in a position where in just a few years the supply of silver will not meet the demand.

Jowl Lift in Orange County
As a major contributor to visible aging, the jowls are often the first significant "problem" that we face. Tightening this area will easily make you look both younger and slimmer. If neck skin is loose or redundant, a necklift can be added, with or without placation (simple tight fold) of the platysma muscle. This achieves a cohesive, crisp contour from the lower face to the chest.
Dr. Sikorski will make small incisions and mobilize the skin and soft tissues of the lower face and jawline (and in most cases, the neck), advancing them upward and laterally to eliminate sagging (jowls) and provide the appearance of improved skin tone. The excess skin is removed.

Secrets of Success
Half Marathon Training - Week 11
Monday, March 25, 2013
This past week I took a break from running to heal my sore leg and foot. It was hard not to run but I knew it was for the best. After doing 4 miles on Monday and then not being able to walk the track in the evening because I was so sore... I knew I had to give my body rest. So the week then changed to stretching, icing, and heating as I worked out the injury. I also went shoe shopping and picked up some new running shoes because I believe that added to my problem.
Instead of running I did weights and got on the bike. It was nice to get back to a little biking which is a nice cross trainer for running. All in all, by the end of week my foot and leg was feeling much better.
I was nervous on Sunday because I wasn't sure how the run was going to go but I knew that I didn't want to miss a long run so I headed out. New running shoes and all!
It felt awesome to be back to running! So awesome that I had to watch my pace.... my feet just were too excited that they didn't want to slow down. I ran with my sister and she played some music for us to keep us going strong. We set out not knowing how many miles we were going to do and exactly what trails we would take. In my head I had an idea but we just played everything by ear. I was hoping to get close to 10 miles since that was my training plan run for the weekend but I was just fine with what ever we ended with.... just so happy to be running!
The route we took had plenty of hills. I don't mind hills though because they make the run interesting. My foot though started to get a little sore around mile 7. We actually took a small break around this time after doing some rolling hills to stretch our calf muscles and my foot.
Since I was getting a little pain we decided to play it safe and start to head back. We ended the run with 8.5 miles for 90 minutes of running. I was a happy girl!
Once I got home I started stretching right away and foam rolling. (I am not the best at stretching after a run.... something I NEED to change.) The stretching felt so good!
And.... it helped because today I am not in pain. I made sure to ice and heat last night as well so I thought that helped. So happy to be back to training. I just have to keep up the stretching, icing, and heating to keep my muscles happy!
Side note... the new running shoes felt awesome but they did give me a blister on my toe. Guess that is what I get for running a long run in brand new shoes. Whoops!

- Shared pool
- Car hire: recommended

One bedroom apartment situated in the beautiful village of Peyia.
This is a modern apartment furnished to a very high standard. You can enjoy the traditional Cypriot lifestyle
yet have all the mod cons in your accommodation.
Park View Gardens is situated on the unspoilt hills of Peyia, with superb views over most beautiful beach in Cyprus, Coral Bay and the surrounding coastline . Peyia, a large village seemingly tumbling down a hillside overlooking the sea, is situated about 12 kms from the main town area of Paphos and is reached by driving along a delightful coastal road fringed with hotels, restaurants and tavernas. The village lies about 4km above Coral Bay which is regarded as having the best beaches in the west of Cyprus. The apartment offers all the necessary facilities banks, supermarkets, a number of local tavernas and restaurants, a bus service and much more. The apartment comprises of: 1 bedroom fully furnished - air conditioning and a shared swimming pool with a large veranda, from where you can enjoy the stunning sea views. While Paphos is the nearest airport (just 20 miles away), you can also fly into Larnaca which is 90 miles away.
Local Area
Peyia once a small community has grown over the past few years. However it still holds onto its typical Cypriot values. The original village houses and meandering streets dominate the village centre, with the elders meeting for coffee each day and a game of back gammon. Surrounding villages such as Tala, Kissonerga, Chlorakas and St George are all similar interesting places to visit. The local shops have long opening hours, the smell of fresh bread from the bakeries, the butchers offering local reared meat, along and the abundance of local fruit and vegetables, all compliments this wonderful way of life. Whilst the village is quite hilly, the views are breathtaking, but we strongly advise a car.
Cyprus is a year round resort offering sunshine and relaxation. Enjoy a winter break in the sun.

We want to reach the inmates that are in jails and prisons. We also want to serve those with addiction and recovery needs. We know that the only hope for anyone far from God is the Good News of Jesus Christ. Hogs In Ministry wants to share the gospel with every person that they may encounter and serve.
Youth Night
Each Thursday at The River Goodrich, we bus in tons of middle school and high school students from all over the communities we serve. Each student comes and hears the Gospel clearly presented, and our hope is to build meaningful relationships with each student that allows us to show and share the love of Christ. Youth Night is filled with video games, cafe, basketball, open gym, tons of games and activities, and new friends!

The desire of River Kids Club is to reach the children, their families, and the communities with the Gospel.
Neighborhood Parties
Throughout the year, host a neighborhood party at your home for your neighbors and friends. This is a unique opportunity to connect with your neighbors in a non-threatening way, building relationships with them that will allow you to share the love of Christ with them as relationships are built. Block Party, holiday, and other themes are available. We do all the planning, preparing, and take all the guess work out of hosting a party for you. You just need to step up, have a desire to share Christ with your neighborhood, and want to be hospitable!
Community Events
We believe the church is meant to be local. We are one church in many locations because of that belief. Along with that belief is the desire to be deeply involved in every community that we have a location, or where we have families living. Throughout the year, these communities have special events, festivals, and needs. Some examples of our community partnerships include: Grand Blanc Chamber of Commerce, Grand Blanc Community Schools, Good Times in Goodrich, Goodrich Area Schools, Grand Blanc Family Fun Fest, Goodrich/Atlas Chamber of Commerce, Lapeer Chamber of Commerce, the Crim, Back to the Bricks, and many more. If you know of an upcoming event in your community, or you want to find out how The River is involved in your community, let us know. We would love to get you plugged in!

Customer Reviewswrite your review
After using quite a few scales for 0.1 gram accuracy in my biz, I am enjoying the use of the CZ6000H greatly. It has a much greater capacity than most scales with this accuracy. I also like that it uses a wide variety of units and the display is well, beautiful. The battery life is excellent as well at an estimated 50 hrs. It does require a large weight, 5kg for calibration, but of course should not require this operation very often. The accuracy seems to be absolutely consistent and not "floaty", but very steady feeling when you load the scale. It will help me treat my customers fairly, and actually help boost profits. This scale is a winner! Thanks OldWillKnotScales!Reviewed by: Duane from Colorado on (2/27/2015)

Applying the General Principle in Particular Circumstances
In the previous Chapter we saw the legal basis of unfair competition law in all its guises. We identified the problems associated with pre-emption and described the rationale behind a general provision against unfair competition. In this Chapter the diverging attitudes towards and views on the justification for decisions in cases of unfair competition will be discussed. The steps that are taken in a judicial process to go from a general norm to the specific implementation of a general rule on a particular set of facts will be covered. Property theories and policy considerations are at the heart of the establishment of a legal rule in unfair competition cases. The questions asked in this Chapter are whether these criteria are sufficiently objective to legitimize a decision, how this decision-making process works, and whether there are sufficient grounds to move beyond the universal norm that leads to tortious liability for the creation of confusion or avoidable confusion in the market-place.
Reasons for the absence of a law of unfair competition in common law systems lie mostly in the fact that judges are of the opinion that general principles are not suited for regulation of the market-place. This is because the criteria for the assessment of what is unfair behaviour in the market-place are thought to be ambiguous. In civil law systems, either the entire law of unfair competition or a large part of it is based on general sweeping statements, be they civil code provisions or general clauses in unfair competition laws. It is therefore important to find objective criteria to create certainty in the law.
Many of the accepted actions in unfair competition put more emphasis on the rights of a market participant and the protection of his goodwill and business than on reprehensible conduct by an infringer of these rights. In this sense the law of unfair competition is often more a positive statement of the plaintiff's rights, often expressed in terms of property, than of oblig-

text: After 3 years, 1000+ shows, and 12,000 albums sold, The Statesboro Revue is running on all cylinders. Their first record was produced by Grammy winner David Z(Prince,Jonny Lang) with the goal of creating groove-oriented, old-school rock n roll music, according to primary songwriter and singer Stewart Mann. "People call us rock, r&b, blues, country, Americana, southern rock. All I know is every song we put out has substance to it, heart and soul, fire and grit. Call it what you want, all we can do is keep making the music we believe in. A huge part of our sound is the caliber of talent I have behind me, and it's a beautiful thing." That talent Mann is referring to is a star-studded lineup from a wide array of backgrounds, and their cohesiveness and staying power is frightening. From the top, guitar player Garrett Mann is a tasty, lick oriented player who sits back but can also step up and take over a show when called upon. Knaak, on the other hand, is the driving force behind the wall of incendiary guitar playing that has come to be a Statesboro Revue staple. On the bass is Ben Bradshaw, whose funk and soul background fits perfectly with Mann's groove-laden tunes. Drummer Mike Peters is a machine behind the kit. Rounding out the lineup is Stewart Mann, whose soulful, powerful, and incommensurable voice truly sets The Statesboro Revue apart from other bands. His ability to dive into the emotion of his songs and vary his attack and timbre is something rarely seen or heard. Combined with his knack for hooky, groove-filled songs, Mann is about as diverse as a singer/songwriter comes. The savvy and prowess of this band is a force to be reckoned with, and if you've seen them you'll realize for yourself why Rolling Stone said they were one of the highlights of SXSW 2009. With the new album, a label deal,& a radio release, don't stand in their way, just get up & groove

I have made this recipe over and over again, my take is , peppers cut in chunks, partially cooked broccoli flowrets and the rest pretty much the same, i usually increase the sauce mixtures depending on how much i make. I do use whole raw cashews tho. always good!
I added chopped onions with the peppers. I also increased the chicken broth by using a whole can and increasing the corn starch to thicken, but still only used 1/4 cup of mustard. Added a touch of lite soy sauce while cooking the chicken and then passed more soy sauce at the table. My youngest son, who loves peppers, suggested to cut the peppers up smaller next time. Everyone enjoyed this.
I would like to make this for just four (4) servings. Can you scale it down for me?
Thank you.

OKC Thunder: Perry Jones III says he's in 'perfect spot', knee is a nonissue
As Perry Jones accepted the home white Thunder jersey with the blue No. 3 stitched just below his last name, he had to check with general manager Sam Presti about something before sitting back down at his introductory news conference on Saturday.
"Is this mine?" Jones asked.
"Yeah, you can keep that," Presti answered.
Meet the newest member of the Thunder, a player so accustomed to working for everything he gets that he wasn't sure his first pro jersey belonged to him.
On his first official day on the job, Perry Jones III, off the court, was everything he was cracked up to be.
He was happy yet humble, ready to start but eager to learn.
"When you get a chance to meet him, I think you'll first be impressed with his humility," Presti said of the 28th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.
Jones will make his basketball debut with the Thunder at the Orlando Summer League on July 9. For now, he's just a 20-year-old stuck on cloud nine as he now wakes up each day living out what a week ago was still just a dream.
"It's still a whirlwind," Jones said. "I've been nervous since they called my name (Thursday night). But I've enjoyed myself out here. But the process was a long grind, so it feels good to actually be somewhere that I can call home."
Jones was forced to wait nearly three hours into Thursday's draft to learn where home would be. When team doctors throughout the league learned that Jones had a brief history of trouble with the meniscus in his right knee, it sparked panic among NBA general managers. They shied away from a talent who just a year ago was projected to be a top 10 draft pick. It's the main reason Jones is with the Thunder today.
"Everybody knows that I wasn't supposed to slide as far as I did," Jones said. "But, to be honest, I'm happy I did. This is a great organization. I mean, this is the perfect spot. I think everything happens for a reason, and these guys treat me like family. So I'm more excited to be here than anything."
Jones confessed that he didn't think "in a million years" that he'd be playing for the Thunder. Just minutes before hearing his name called, he even thought his shocking slide would continue.
"Actually, on draft night when the pick came up for them, I was thinking to myself 'Well, they don't need me, so they're definitely not going to pick me,'" Jones remembered. "So I'm definitely honored that they decided to pick me, and I'm definitely going to work my hardest for you guys."
For now, Presti and Jones both say the knee is a nonissue.
"It was basically just a previous injury that he had prior to getting to Baylor," Presti said. "He's played two years and been incredibly consistent with it. It's just something that we have to watch as we go forward. Like we talked about, if there's anything that comes up from it we'll be proactive. But going into the situation, we're thrilled and we're looking forward to having him compete this summer."
Added Jones: "My knee's fine. It didn't affect me at Baylor. My knee is doing great."
You'd have a hard time questioning anything else about Jones.
Highlight reels show the 6-11 forward doing things young men his size shouldn't be able to do. He dribbles like a guard, runs like a deer and jumps like he's got pogo sticks for legs.
But in his first public appearance in his new host city, Jones didn't try to win over the crowd by making claims about how his world-class athleticism would help the Thunder win games. Instead, he turned heads by talking about how hard he was willing to work to fit in.
"The hardest part is playing to the level of intensity that Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook set," Jones said. "They set a standard for working hard here. Definitely living up to their standard, you've got to be able to bring it every day. So just be in the gym a lot to try to stay up to par with them. Hopefully, I can help the team in any way shape or form."
When peppered with questions about the lack of assertiveness he showed on the court in college, Jones simply turned the page and attempted to move past that chapter of his career by focusing on how he can improve now.
"I think I've got to play smart," Jones said. "Definitely learn from the veterans. This is a time for me to learn, and I know these guys are going to help me be the best player (I can be) and use my assertiveness to the best of my abilities."
Above all, Jones came off as appreciative.
He thanked everyone from his mother, Terri, to the fans in attendance at his news conference, to the Thunder organization for giving him an opportunity.
At times, Jones sounded like he was still in college, about to get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play pickup with his favorite players.
"My favorite part about the Thunder is they have fun but they play hard," Jones said. "I think they're the most exciting team to watch. I'll pick their game over any other game any day."
Asked how he could come in and contribute, Jones responded as if he was in awe of the roster.
"That's hard to say right now," he said, "because the Thunder has everything."
It's as if this goose doesn't get that he's golden.
"He's very humble," explained Jones' agent, Bill Duffy. "He's had some challenging circumstances in his upbringing, so I don't think he takes anything for granted.
"He's just a really good person, and he's one who's going to definitely acclimate well to the organization and the culture here. In my mind, this is the perfect fit."

FTC Strengthens Standards and Open Source
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has come to a decision that could be crucial for standards and Open Source software in proposing a consent agreement in a patenting claim, says Andy Updegrove, the Linux Foundation's (LF) legal expert.
The FTC is responsible for consumer protection and fair trading. In the current case it was approached by companies asked to pay high licensing charges to patenters N-Data for the use of a widespread Ethernet standard. The FTC has now proposed a consent agreement which, in the opinion of Andy Updegrove, constitutes "the most important resolution of a standards-related enforcement action" for many years. He describes the case in great depth at Consortiuminfo and sees the judgment reinforcing both reliability of legal guarantees on standards in general, and on Open Source licenses.
The central issue was whether a licensing promise made by the original patent owner still held if the patent was transferred to another owner. The current FTC ruling confirms that it does, especially if the later owner exploits its industry lock-in to drastically increase licensing costs for the patent in question.
The LF legal expert views the decision as significant for many reasons: for one thing, the question as to whether "patent promises" are binding in the long-term constantly reoccurs, both in the context of standards and in the context of many Open Source licenses. The current case is also significant as it concerns a so-called "patent troll", that is, a company that does not provide creative input of its own, but simply exploits patents filed by others. This is basically the line of business that Negotiated Data Solutions (N-Data), the respondent in this case, is in.
In the current case, the original patent holder was National Semiconductor. In 1994, the enterprise joined an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) working group to update an existing Ethernet standard. To ensure that devices that followed the new standard would be compatible with older devices, the working group decided to adopt National Semiconductor's "Nway" process. National Semiconductor made two valid patents available for a consideration of US$ 1,000. In 1995, the patents were assigned by the US authorities. In 1997, National Semiconductor transferred the patents to a startup founded by former staff, called Vertical Networks. In 2002, Vertical, decided to cash in on its patent portfolio and demand far higher payments from some Fast Ethernet vendors. Some refused to pay, and Vertical took legal steps. In 2003, Vertical transferred the patents to N-Data, a company founded by Vertical's general attorney with the purpose of exploiting patents. Some dealers from whome N-Data had attempted to secure higher fees were aware of National Semiconductor's original patent promise and filed a complaint with the FTC.
Based on the consent agreement accepted by the FTC, N-Data will now be obligated to offer licenses at the original price of US$ 1,000. N-Data is not entitled to increase the price unless the licensee fails to respond after a period of 120 days and does not react to reminders. The FTC's statement refers to this case as potentially "enormously harmful to standards setting", going on to state that this kind of behavior could endanger free trading. After announcing the proposed consent agreement, the FTC is open to comments for the next 30 days.
