The last VIVOBAREFOOT designed-for-trails shoe we wear tested two years ago was the Breatho Trail. At first glance, the new Trail Freak is similar but with a quick closure lacing system. That's where it ends. After running in them for a few weeks, they are way different and the Trail Freak is my preferred VIVOBAREFOOT trail shoe!
The Trail Freak has a lightweight natural fit, duo 3M mesh and laminated structured that gives a comfortable and secure 'second skin' fit. You get total flexibility from the tough, fine breathable mesh and thin puncture-resistant sole.
The Trail Freak also has a Dri-lex lining with Lycra collar - lightweight, performance lining for moisture wicking and superior comfort. The toe box is nice and wide and the shoe is zero-drop giving plenty of room for natural foot movement and natural shock absorption by allowing you arch and toes to load, splay and recoil.
The off-road outsole has the perfect balance of grip and proprioception. Specifically made for the great outdoors the Trail Freak features aggressive 4.5mm lugs give an unprecedented amount of traction in extreme conditions and muddy, stony and grassy terrains.
Review Summary
My pair of EU 44 VIVOBAREFOOT Trail Freak weighs in 9.8 ounces with the removable sockliner intact - zero drop, super-flexible, lightweight. The minute you put on the Trail Freak, it just wrap your feet and being sockless, the soft and comfortable lining and wide toe box just tell you that this is a good fit. There is no sliding tongue and a quick closure system so no loose laces to deal with - just put them on, lock your lacing and tuck, and go run. Simple.
Running in non-technical rolling trails, traction is superb and you can really feel the ground when going over small rocks and pebbles. Nothing from the shoe is forcing me to alter my running form both uphill and downhill. The Trail Freak protects my feet from the rough terrain but also allows me to enjoy the scenery and focus on my run instead. My toes can splay to the max and no hot spots or blisters from a hot morning run - uppers are very breathable. Small pebbles did not get into my shoe from the heel area (common in some trail shoes) and a gaiter is not needed. I expect this well-built high-quality shoe to last a long time even in gnarly trails!
Runners and friends always ask me the same question every time they see me testing new shoes.
"How do you determine if a shoe is a good fit for me?"
Personally, anything that is lightweight and have a comfortable fit on my feet sockless and does not feel like it is hindering my movement works for me. Obviously having a wide toe box and 4mm or less drop is a given. This will rule out 75% of the new models coming into the market. As we are all different, what works for me may not work for you and worst yet, you get injured. So try out different minimal shoes with varying level of cushioning if you are transitioning. If you stick to our 2014 shoe candidates, you are less likely to get injured and find a pair that suit your running style and personal situation.
The VIVOBAREFOOT Trail Freak has earned itself a spot as one of the top 5 candidates for the Wear Tested 2014 Trail Shoe of the Year award. The VIVOBAREFOOT Trail Freak is now available at Zappos and VIVOBAREFOOT.

What Americans Want in 2013
In 2013, downbeat domestic attitudes coupled with reticence about international engagement poses challenges for a world that still may need a strong United States.
Chapter 2. Threats and Concerns
Americans express far more concern about China's economic strength than about its military strength. This is reflected in the solid majorities that say the large amount of American debt that is held by China, the loss of U.S. jobs to China and the U.S. trade deficit with China are very serious problems for the United […]

Spring Game Parking Information
By Gregg Bell - UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - Steve Sarkisian and his Huskies assistants were wearing headsets.
Seattle's Jimi Hendrix and "Purple Haze" were blaring over the speakers. Spectators, most of them participants in Sarkisian's annual spring coaches' clinic, were ringing the field at the Dempsey Indoor Practice Facility.
Keith Price threw a touchdown pass of 30-plus yards to DiAndre Campbell, whose dependability and experience may make him a front-line receiver this fall.
"It's just that easy, dog!" Price yelled to his offensive mates as they jogged off the field after the efficient touchdown drive.
Except it wasn't.
Saturday afternoon's 2½-hour practice ended with what amounted to a dress-rehearsal scrimmage for next weekend's spring game. And it was dominated by defense.
Cornerback Marcus Peters intercepted a deep pass from Cyler Miles to end the drive after Price's touchdown throw. Defensive end Andrew Hudson scooped up a fumble after a screen pass and returned it for a touchdown.
Linebacker Shaq Thompson sprinted past a would-be block and dumped Jaydon Mickens immediately after he caught a wide-receiver screen. Thomas Vincent, a walk-on quarterback until coaches switched him to defensive back last month, dumped a ball carrier for a loss then cut down a receiver in the flat to stop a third-and-short play.
"The defense definitely got the better of us for a minute," Price said, speaking for all the offensive units. "But offensively, we competed. It was fun. I had fun."
That's because the scrimmage was as full-go and extensive as the Huskies will get before fall camp begins in August. The 6-foot-4, 223-pound Miles and fellow backup quarterback Jeff Lindquist, 6-3, 234, took off their usual, gold, "no-contact" jerseys for purple, so the defense could hit them like anyone else.
"You can get in a comfort zone, a false sense of reality to what the game is really like. They are both really athletic guys. They are both big guys. And I wanted them to get the chance to run with the football, to show what they can do," Sarkisian said.
"And It was good for the defense to actually have to tackle the quarterbacks, and they did make those plays. Part of them was cheering - and part of them were like, `Oh, no, now we've got to tackle these big guys.'"
Miles, who redshirted his first year at UW in 2012, produced the only other touchdown of the scrimmage, on a short pass in the flat to Kendyl Taylor. Taylor, a wide receiver who is also getting time at running back, bulled through two defenders inside the 5-yard line to score.
The Dawgs stayed in no-huddle mode and utilized most of their playbook, with varied formations and plays and personnel groupings.
That's something that won't necessarily happen next Saturday at the annual spring game at 4 p.m. at Seattle Center's Memorial Stadium under the Space Needle.
Sarkisian is going to spend through Monday mulling over the format he will use for the nationally televised spring game, which is also open to the public with free admission. Assorted nicks and bruises from the first 12 spring practices - plus key players still out while coming off surgeries such as offensive lineman Jesse Callier and Deontae Cooper - may keep the spring game from being a "game" between purple and white teams.
"It's a tricky one. When you play at this (no-huddle) pace, when you try to sub, it's hard to sub and have teams. I want to make it a very good format for our fans, that's entertaining, because I think we have an exciting football team and a good football team. I want them to have the opportunity to see that.
"I am also cognizant of the fact it's open to the public and that it's on national television, on Pac-12 Networks. So how much we do schematically we have to figure out.
"We'll figure it all out. Again, I hope it's a great atmosphere next Saturday at Memorial, and that we can put on a good show for our fans."
INSIDE THE DAWGS: Sarkisian said again that he has yet to determined exactly the punishment for TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins beyond being suspended indefinitely and away from the team. "To Austin's credit, so far he is continually doing the things we have asked him to do, so that when we deem the appropriate time he can earn himself back on the roster. He's a good kid. He made a bad decision and made a mistake. He's learned from it. He's obviously going to have to pay the price from it. Hopefully the rest of our organization can learn from that mistake ... and we can move forward. I'm always the one to look at the positive in things, and I think Austin will be better for it. I think our team will be better for it off the field. I think our team will be better for it on the field. ... I know what the type of individual Austin is. I know what he means to the community. I know the great work he does in our community. I know what type of student he is. So I don't think this one mistake by Austin is truly indicative of his character or indicative of his behavior. But he made a mistake." ... Asked what he is weighing in the decision on punishment of his record setting tight end for a driving-under-the-influence charge, Sarkisian said: "We'll get to a decision that we think is far to Austin, is fair to our team, and is fair to the University of Washington. And we'll move on." ... Starting TB Bishop Sankey sat out because he was sore, Sarkisian said. The coach knew the scrimmage would be full go and saw no sense in putting his 1,400-yard back out in it four-plus months before the opener. ... The Huskies practice next on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.


text: Apr 2, 2013 20:22 New Orleans police break up alleged prostitution ring New Orleans police break up alleged prostitution ring New Orleans bureau Comments NEW ORLEANS — Police said they broke up a prostitution ring after detectives arranged to meet a woman for sex Tuesday at a Central Business District hotel. Police responded to an online ad offering sexual services and arranged to meet 19-year-old Alexis Keener at a hotel in the 100 block of St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans Police Department spokeswoman Remi Braden said in a news release. Once the detective met Keener in a room in the hotel, Keener called another woman for condoms. When that woman got to the room, four detectives arrested her. Police did not identify her, and she was not booked. Braden said the woman began to give a statement to police about her involvement in a prostitution ring. Police found that the room the women were going to work out of was one of three rented by Katrina Walls, 24. Police detained and questioned Walls when she arrived at the room. Eddie Sowells, 23, picked up Keener and the other 19-year-old woman in Waco, Texas, police said. Braden said that Sowells brought the women to New Orleans specifically for prostitution purposes. The alleged arrangement was that Sowells would keep 50 percent of the money from each customer the women saw, Braden said. In another room, police found Sowells and 19-year-old Taylor Courtney. Both were told they were under investigation for violation of prostitution laws and were asked to turn over any weapons they had. Courtney gave police an unloaded handgun that was found to have been stolen in Texas, Braden said. Sowells was booked with pandering, possession of stolen property and human trafficking. Courtney was booked with possession of stolen property. Keener was booked with prostitution, and Walls was booked with promoting prostitution and letting premises for prostitution. "The perpetrators in human trafficking cases are reprehensible, and the people they prey on to work for them are victims who are usually struggling in life and simply looking for a way to survive," Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas said in a prepared statement.

I hope there is an answer to this.

Preparing to retire, General Bowlds highlights Air Force opportunities, ESC work

66th Air Base Group Public Affairs
8/26/2011 -
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- A love of airplanes is what began an Air Force career spanning more than 36 years.
Electronic Systems Center Commander Lt. Gen. Ted Bowlds, whose retirement ceremony is set for Sept. 1, following a change of command ceremony, never had a set plan for a military career.
"I always loved airplanes and aviation," he said. "After participating in Air Force ROTC programs in high school and college, along with being part of the Civil Air Patrol, the Air Force seemed like a natural fit."
From the beginning, Bowlds said, the Air Force presented him with great opportunities, great challenges and opportunities to work with exciting people and exciting programs.
"I was given the opportunity to do things that were unique, one of a kind," he said. "As a lieutenant, in the late 1970s, I helped install a brand new mainframe computer; the first in the Air Force. That was a huge responsibility right out of college."
As an engineer, Bowlds got to attend test pilot school and do testing on high performance planes. He worked on the F-117 during the infancy of the stealth program, which then led to the B-2 program.
"I was able to be part of these revolutionary programs," the general said. "And now here at ESC, we also are working on programs, such as BACN [Battlefield Airborne Communications Node], that revolutionize the way we fight."
He also mentioned how capabilities on AWACS and Joint STARS allow them to operate in ways that were not originally envisioned and spoke about protecting the Air Force network.
"This is the nature of acquisition and the nature of ESC," Bowlds said. "The work that is performed here has a big impact in how the military presents itself and provides advantages over adversaries."
Although he says the work done at ESC is not as visible as work on delivering aircraft, it really is a force multiplier for what the military does.
"This is the Information Age and we provide decision tools, help to move information and secure the network," the general said. "A lot of time work like that goes unrecognized; it's only when it's not there that someone realizes it."
The example he gave was of a dial tone, or more recently, cellular phone coverage. Until you go to use the phone and the tone or signal isn't there, you don't think about it, he said.
Bowlds strived to create an environment at ESC where individuals could work to their fullest potential, to experience the type of opportunities he was given early in his career.
"I like to think I've been the greatest cheerleader for what the people here at ESC do," Bowlds said. "I want to ensure that the people outside realize this is important all the time, not only when there's no dial tone or no coverage."
For someone just starting out in an Air Force career, his words of wisdom are simple.
"Give 100 percent, keep your enthusiasm and never sacrifice your integrity," he said. "You may not always get something for it, but if you gave 100 percent that will tell you something about yourself and tell the Air Force something about you as well."
Another piece of advice he offers is to take each opportunity as a chance to learn and grow.
Bowlds mentioned how he became commander of the Rome Laboratory two weeks before Griffis AFB, N.Y., was set to close. The laboratory became the only organization left in what had become a business park setting.
"It would be easy to feel sorry for yourself, but you need to make it a new unique opportunity, give that 100 percent, and things will fall into place," he said.
Bowlds said he foresees difficult times for the Air Force and ESC on the horizon because of the budget, but he has confidence ESC can handle whatever changes await.
"You couldn't ask for a better group of people," he said. "It's been great to be a part of this organization and be your champion. I'm sure ESC will weather whatever the future holds and still provide those dial tones."
For the future, Bowlds and his wife plan to spend some time relaxing at their home in Virginia.
"After decompressing for a while, I want to get back to doing what I love, working in the defense and aerospace business," he said. "I want to keep working on things that the average person might see as impossible but which become possible."

Cindy, a four-year-old pit bull, was taken in at the East Valley Animal Care and Control facility in Van Nuys, Calif., on Jan. 2.
Cindy's intake photo reveals her fear and uncertainty...finding one's self at an animal control facility is good cause for anxiety.
Nobody ever came to the facility to free Cindy - if she had an owner, that person failed to show.
In the time that Cindy has been at the facility, she has shown herself to be outgoing, playful and friendly.
According to Cindy's profile on Shelter Me:
She is super friendly and loves toys and treats. She is a medium energy level, meaning she can hang out at home and also is up for long walks, hikes or a day of play. It's up to you, but first you need to meet this sweet girl. She walks well on leash, will sit for a treat and is eager to please. Cindy is available now at the East Valley Animal Shelter.
Based on Cindy's stellar personality, it is likely that she had an owner prior to her arrival at the facility, unfortunately, since that person did not reclaim her, she is in need of help if she is to enjoy a long, happy life.
Please take a moment to network Cindy's information:

May 12, 2000
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Tulane women's golf team shot a second round 318 and slipped to 23rd place Saturday at the NCAA East Regional golf tournament.
The Green Wave struggled for the second straight day, posting a 318 total to fall to 23rd place in the 24-team event. The squad's total of 635 is 39 shots off the pace of tournament-leader Purdue at 596. It is the first team appearance for Tulane at the NCAA East Regional.
Leading the way for Tulane individually is senior Meghan Bolger. The Haddonfield, N.J., native shot a four-over-par total of 76 for the second straight day and is tied for 33rd place at 152. She is the only Wave golfer to post two rounds in the 70s.
Auburn's Celeste Troche shot a three-under-par 69 in the second round and leads the 126-woman field by three strokes at 140 (-4). She is one of just two golfer under par after 36 holes.
Other Tulane finishers included senior Catalina Lara (T92nd/160), junior Pam Buff (T106th/163), sophomore Marcela Gonzalez (T114th/164) and freshman Kathy Schafer (T116th/166).
The NCAA East Regional is being contested at the Ohio State University Scarlet Course, a par 72, 6,126-yard layout. The event runs through Sunday.
The top 11 teams and three individuals from the NCAA East and West Regionals will advance to the 2000 NCAA Women's Golf Championships on May 24-27, which will be contested at the Crosswater Course at the Sun River Resort in Sun River, Ore. Oregon State University will host the championship event.

Black Cats backing Team George
by Sunderland AFC
Club helping to raise funds for youngster.
A campaign which began in the north east bidding to raise funds to help a three-year-old receive life-changing treatment has received a huge boost with the announcement of a special fundraising football match and gala dinner.
Team George has been set up to raise funds for George Bertie Johnson, who has an undiagnosed motility condition, meaning he cannot feed, drink or swallow. Now with the devastating news from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) that attempts to obtain a diagnosis have been exhausted, George's parents are seeking funds to visit a special consultant in America.
Fundraising for the vital trip to America has been boosted with the announcement of a charity game at the Academy of Light, Sunderland AFC's training base, as well as a gala dinner at the club's Stadium of Light.
Naturally the club is delighted to support such a worthwhile cause and we hope to raise as much money as possible for Team George
- Gary Hutchinson
A spokesperson at Team George said: "This is a unique opportunity to play on the pitch where Sunderland's first team train and be part of the action as two teams battle it out, whilst raising vital funds which will go towards further tests and investigations into George's condition."
Participants will get the chance of choosing to play for either George's father's home city of Sunderland or Everton - his mother's favourite team. They will also receive their very own kit before preparing for the match in the players' dressing room.
This unique playing experience will take place on Sunday 9th February and will also include individual prizes for man of the match, best goal, best team member, best craic and worst player.
Packages cost £100 per person with all proceeds from the game going to Team George.
SAFC's commercial director Gary Hutchinson said: "Naturally the club is delighted to support such a worthwhile cause and we hope to raise as much money as possible for Team George who do such a wonderful job in helping children and families."
Tickets are also available for spectators who wish to support the fundraising match, priced at £5 per person. This includes access to the Academy of Light and priority on tickets for the gala dinner on the same evening at Stadium of Light.
The gala dinner in aid of Team George includes a drinks reception, a three course gala meal with coffee and entertainment from Kevin Ball and a comedian. Guests will also have the chance to try their luck with a raffle and pick up that special piece of memorabilia at auction on the night.
Tickets are priced at £50 per person with sponsorship packages at £1,000 per table (10 guests).
To secure your position in the fundraising football match please contact Neil Johnson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
To book tickets for the charity match visit the Stadium of Light Ticket Office or call 0871 911 1973.
For tickets to the gala dinner, call 0871 911 1555 or email email@example.com.

Success Story: Mark – Diet For Heart Disease
Which Diet For Heart Disease? Lo-Carb or Lo-Fat?
For some, a lo-carb/high fat diet is a great diet. It's helped patients restore energy, lower cholesterol, lose weight and reduce the risk of heart disease. For others it is exactly the wrong type diet. This is why we developed the Hauser Diet Typing Program, to help patients determine which diet would be the best for their health.
Here is such a story of one patient
Coming to Caring Medical can often lead to learning something about your health that you were previously clueless about. That's what happened with Mark. Mark needed to lose weight, wanted more energy, and had problems with sinusitis which led to his interest in food allergy testing.
During his initial consultation, Dr. Hauser recommended getting a heart scan to see if there was any calcium buildup in his heart. So Mark decided to have Diet Typing, food allergy testing, and a heart scan done.
Mark had been following the Lo-Carb diet, a high protein, high fat diet. He liked this diet, but he was obese and was almost 150% of his ideal body weight! Either it was not working for him, or he wasn't eating exactly what he said he was eating.
Interestingly enough, Mark's Diet Typing results showed that he was a Monkey – exactly opposite of what he was eating. No wonder he was overweight and fatigued – his body needed complex carbohydrates and vegetables, not protein and fat. Mark was not too eager to switch his diet – he was accustomed to eating this way and was very skeptical about making the changes. However he agreed to give it a try and come back in one month to follow up.
One month later Mark returned to follow up with Dr. Hauser and the nutritionist. Mark's heart scan results were back and they were not good. They showed that 75% of his heart had blockages! Mark had heart disease and needed to do something fast to reverse this disease. His diet was a major change that he needed to stick with. When Mark met with the nutritionist he was very disturbed by his heart scan results. He had been loosely following the Monkey diet and was noticing some changes in his energy. His food allergy results had returned and he was going to have to make more adjustments. His heart disease was a major motivator for him to change.

The Dark Goddess in the Transformation of ConsciousnessDark, earthy, and immensely powerful, the Black Goddess has been a key force in world history, manifesting in images as diverse as the Indian goddess Kali and the Black Madonnas of medieval Europe. She embodies the energy of chaos and creativity, creation and destruction, death and rebirth. Images of Her, however, have been conspicuously missing in the Western world for centuries—until now, when awareness of the Goddess is re-arising in… Read More

Readers Question: What are the importance of economics?
Firstly, here is a rather, frivolous look at 10 reasons to study economics
On a more serious note. The importance of economics includes the following:
- Dealing with a shortage of Raw Materials. Economics provides a mechanism for looking at possible consequences as we run short of raw materials such as gas and oil.
- How to distribute resources in society. To what extent should we redistribute income in society? Is inequality necessary to create economic incentives or does inequality create more economic problems.
- The Principle of Opportunity Cost. Politicians win elections by promising more spending and cutting taxes. This is because lower taxes and more spending is what voters want to hear. However, an economist will be aware that everything has an opportunity cost. Spend more on subsidising free university education, and it means higher taxes and lower spending elsewhere. Giving students £4,000 a year to spend at university may be a noble ideal. But, is it the best use of public money? Are there not better uses of money?
- Social efficiency. The free market leads to countless examples of market failure. I feel one of the best uses of economics is to provide solutions to overcoming market failure. For example, driving into the centre of town creates negative externalities such as pollution and congestion. There is overconsumption. An economist can suggest a tax on driving into towns to internalise the externality. Of course new taxes are not popular, but, it would provide a better solution for society. You may not want to pay £10 a week to drive into a city centre. But, if it saved you 2 hours of sitting in a jam, then maybe you would be quite happy to pay it.
- Knowledge When You are Unemployed and waiting in the queue for unemployment benefits, as an economist you will know WHY you are unemployed, which is of course a great comfort.

Welcome folks, it's another chocked full episode of Mad World Radio. This is the Season 7 premiere and this year we have brought back the 15 min opener idea. Helping me do so were The Brothers Majik. We hope you enjoy these Majik Moments.
We made several announcements throughout the course of the night. First and foremost being, when consuming Mad World Radio's podcasted episode please use the download link underneath the player. Right click and save it to take with you, we've had some reports of the player cutting out on our archived episodes.
Baconfest 2013 is a go! Mad World Radio will be there recording LIVE from the salty meat-a-palooza. For more info see our post here. Also announced last night is the brand new stream that is now more reliable and can handle the listener load. We're also rolling out a brand new lineup for The Phonetic Bells Network. Starting with the addition of Detroit Drive Time.
What is that you ask? Well, for a few years now I have thought that if the local radio stations actually gave a damn about local indie music (like they try to claim to) then during rush hour (when people are a captive audience) you could showcase Detroit and Michigan made talent. You could also offer cheaply priced advertising to local businesses and really show your love for the mitten. You know the people who help pay your bills. Well, I decided if they weren't going to do it. I would and I did. So, from 4pm til 7pm EST you'll be able to hear nothing but independent Michigan Music.
The final big reveal was the new way to listen to either MWR or TPBN in general….. We are smartphone friendly! Yes if you download the Tune In app and search for The Phonetic Bells Network, you'll be instantly able to stream us on the go! Hence the start of our drive time show. Just tie in to your cars speakers via aux jack or blue tooth and stream us in crystal clear quality.
I want to thank Tim, Matthew, Marv and Ace for helping me kick off this season. We have tons of exciting things to implement this year. We can't wait to see you there!
Songs PlayedPendulum – Bloodline Riot Sleep Alone – Yellow Dead Bettys Leave Her Alone – Yellow Dead Bettys Plow My Mule – Memphis Gold Bring It All Home – Pearl Handled Revolver Exude – Dead School Pretty Nipples – Disgruntled Bastards Flow – These Skies Goodbye – Mooch 1 and the Seekers Church Band Livin' Large in L.A. – 2 Bit Radio Pach-a-Palooza – Black Doctor Jr. The American Dream – Klover Jane Turn It Up – Detroit Mutant Radio Everything That You Hate – Rebel Inc.

My metabolism is getting less efficient!
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
I am so excited. 3 years ago I took an RMR test to determine how many calories I need to stay alive while at rest. The number (1280) was much smaller than I would have liked (especially since we are not living in famine conditions). I have been losing weight by sticking between 1200 to 1400 calories a day, eating "whole" foods, drinking water, eliminating all diet softdrinks and all labeled corn syrup and exercising.
My coach (who is a highly trained personal trainer and dietitian) said that the idea of increasing the rest metabolism by building lean muscle mass was proven for men but did not seem as solid for women. In addition, aging and menopause slow the metabolism down.
We decided to re-test my RMR since my weight loss has slowed down and I have been in a plateau. I am so delighted that my metabolic efficiency has decreased! I now need 1426 calories a day to stay alive at rest.
. This is really exciting to me since the numbers go against what would be expected by aging. My coach said I may need to eat more to get weight loss rolling again. Yippee - eating well and exercising often is repairing my health.

just catching up! u go from rarely posting to 3!!! woot!
what gr8 news from the rmr test!!! I'm surprised about the lean muscle/men comment you made b/c i hadn't heard that ~ i've always kind of heard/read that exercise is essential to counteract lean muscle loss that goes along with aging... maybe as people lose it, their rmr goes goes down b/c they don't have as much and lean muscle burns higher rate... guess that is the converse of what we hear from the back door way to it...
anyway, i'm so glad you're able to start moving and making progress ~ just in time for summer! what a gr8 pick me up, eh?
so that's 2 really gr8 things that should help to get that scale moving downward again
sure would be nice if we could eyeball the scale & it would move down on command!!!
lol ~ yeah, that would be nice.
but we can focus on the process, and it sounds like u r really on a good/happy making path right now :)

Getting your basal metabolic rate or resting metabolic rate (RPR) tested is, I think a great idea. We are all different, and our caloric needs are different at rest.
I had mine tested through a Herbalife distributor 6 weeks ago. It has for the first time given me hard numbers and science to help me know where I should be.
The science of it all, as I understand it, is that it takes a 3500 calorie deficit (3500 calories more expended than taken in) to lose 1 pound. So, if your RMR is, for example, 1700, then you would have to decrease your intake by 500 calories per day (down to 1200 calories) to create a 3500 calorie deficit in one week (500 x 7 days=3500). That would theoretically give you a 1 pound weight loss in 1 week. If you expended an additional 500 calories per day in exercise, you could theoretically lose another pound per week from the exercise.
For women, I am told, we should not go below an 1100 calorie diet. That means if your RMR is on the lower end (mine is 1371). Subtracing 500 from that number brings me too low (871), so, I need to make up the difference from 1100 in exercise with at least 229 calories expended in exercise to lose 1 pound per week. I'm actually doing quite a bit more exercise, and pushing for the 2 pounds per week.
Now, while that all sounds great, I suspect that there are still other factors involved, so the science isn't perfect, but it is a starting point for anyone trying to figure out exactly how many calories they should eat. So, get your RMR tested if you can!

Oh gosh dang it.My brother's laptop's charger cord got chewed my dog so I had to use my mom's which had been shutting down often (not for me though! :D ) and then IT stopped working so we finally got my room done and I get to use my computer.
No problem.

-_____-'' I hate my laptop.
I wrote a long vm and almost finished it...then *BZZT*
Stupid short current, I subconsciously plugged off the power current thing and...nvm.
Sorry if I don't answer to your last vm straight away.
It makes me mad that my laptop just "bzzt'ed off". And we were about to have a nice, fluent convo with good topics to talk about... -.-'' (I hate this effin laptop).
Anyways, I'm kinda pretty tired now, since someone logged off I talked to, I have nothing to do here anymore. So yeah, please excuse me, but I am tired, so I have to go now.
Good night, have nice dreams and enjoy your day tomorrow.

A rollover crash west of Rainier killed the 16-year-old driver and injured her passenger, a 16-year-old male. The crash occurred at 12:55 a.m., near milepost 53 on Highway 30 and police are looking at driver fatigue as a possible contributing factor in the crash.
According to authorities, Seeaira D. Hicks, 16, of St. Helens, was driving a 1993 Subuaru eastbound when for some reason, the car traveled off the eastbound shoulder and rolled several times, coming to a rest on its top.
Authorities pronounced Hicks dead at the scene. Her passenger, Scott A. Hamlin, 16, also of St. Helens, received minor injuries and was transported by ambulance to PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center in Longview, Wash. Police say both wore sea tbelts and the airbags in the vehicle deployed.
Troopers from St. Helens and Astoria responded to investigate and found no evidence that drugs or alcohol played a role in this crash.
The Oregon State Police (OSP), Oregon State Sheriffs' Association (OSSA), and Oregon Association Chiefs of Police (OACP) remind everyone that while death and injury are of course the most serious of possible consequences of drunk driving, there are other consequences that can affect lives for many years, including loss of a driver license, vehicle impoundment, jail time, lawyer and court costs, and insurance hikes, just to name a few.
OSP, OSSA, OACP, and ODOT offer the following safety reminders to help keep your holiday travels safe:
- Get rested before you are tested. Fatigued drivers are more frequent during holiday weekends because of increased travel and activity. Be patient and allow plenty of time to reach your destination.
- Pay attention. An inattentive driver is a growing safety concern on our roads and an increasing factor in traffic crashes.
- Know before you go: Stay up to date on road conditions by visiting TripCheck.com or calling 5-1-1. Don't use your cell phone to check on this non-emergency information while driving.
- Even when workers are not present, all work zone speed limits still apply and fines double. Inactive work zones still have equipment, detours, and incomplete changes in the roadway so drivers need to slow down and be alert.
- Share the road. Don't tailgate and be sure to check your mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes. Be on the lookout for bicyclists, pedestrians and other vulnerable users of our roads.
- Always use safety restraints and child safety seats correctly (click here for information on free safety seat clinics and proper buckling tips).
- Don't drink and drive; don't be impaired and drive. These can be deadly combinations.
- MOVE OVER if you are approaching any type of emergency vehicle, tow truck or roadside assistance vehicle which is stopped on the roadside with emergency lights activated.
OSP, OSSA, OACP and ODOT remind every traveling person - bicyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists and motorists alike - that we all have individual responsibility for keeping our roads safe. Immediately report aggressive, dangerous and intoxicated drivers to 9-1-1 or call OSP at 1-800-24DRUNK (800-243-7865).

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. -- At 35, Drew Brees said Friday at the opening of New Orleans Saints training camp that he feels he could play until he's 45.
The first I could think of when he said this was one word: why?
The guy has everything. He's won the Super Bowl. He's won the Super Bowl MVP. He's broken all kinds of NFL single season and career records. He's healthy. He has more money than he knows what to do with and enough money to last several lifetimes.
What drives Brees at this point?
I mentioned to Saints coach Sean Payton how he could elaborate probably for hours on what continues to ignite Brees' desire. Payton said it's actually a simple answer
"It's winning, trying to win another a championship," Payton said. "Absolutely that's what separates someone like him (from others). You look at a guy like Peyton Manning and (Tom) Brady, it's that drive to win another championship."
Even when Brees has everything?
"When you have one (championship), you want another," Payton said. "It's never enough."
It's amazing how elite athletes in any professional sport echo the same sentiment. They always want more. No matter how old they are or what condition they're in physically.
"Honestly, there's a thing that separates good players and great players. And I think so much of it is inherent in that guy," right tackle Zach Strief said. "The same thing that motivated him five years ago before the Super Bowl, I think Drew has a genuine desire and drive to be the best ever.
"I think that more than anything pushes him. And look, that is a mindset that a lot of people talk about and very few people really, truly in their gut believe that. He's a guy that you can tell his focus is so extreme and the only way to maintain that is to have the genuine desire to be the best."
Brees isn't oblivious that he'll eventually end up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He's fully cognizant of his career statistics. He's aware of what he's accomplished. He's also aware of what he hasn't accomplished yet.
The latter statement outweighs everything.
"I love to compete," Brees said. "I love to win. I love the game of football. I like to do things that people haven't done before or that people would say are impossible or extremely difficult to do. At the end of the day, I'd love for people to be able to look at my career, my legacy and say, 'Man, he did it the right way. He's a pro. And he did for a long time and was consistent.'
"When I say consistent, I just don't want to be at the same level each year. I want to consistently get a little bit better. And I still feel like I'm at that point where each and every year I can get a little bit better. I'm not in the decline like most guys maybe in their mid-30s. In my eyes, I'm not in my mid-30s. I'm 25."
Brees referred to his fountain of youth mentality as a "mindset." It's something he doesn't necessary vocalize to his teammates. He doesn't have to. They get it.
"First of all I think it's consistency," Strief said when discussing Brees' mental makeup. "A lot of guys get to the end of the season, take a break and your body drops off and then you work to get it back. I don't think he ever takes a break or ever stops. I think it's constant. That is an inherent drive inside.
"I mean he had the second fastest time in the conditioning test by like a second or two seconds. He's 35 years old. This wasn't like you just get out and run. No. There's sled pushing and all of this calisthenics and different kinds of stuff. I think it's probably driving him nuts that he was second. Really, I think it's driving him insane."
Brees mentioned a couple of times how Jimmy Graham clocked the best time in the conditioning test during his time with the media Friday. I mentioned to him as he was leaving that he finished second. He said he'd love to compare the results side by side essentially asking for a recount.
"That's type of thing when Drew trains and he does this stuff, you can go watch him right now," Strief said. "They're throwing routes without a defense and if Drew is off by a foot, not if he throws an incompletion because that doesn't happen, if he's off by a foot, he's legitimately angry. He's upset with himself. You can't teach it. It's not learned. It's inherent.
"He's got it and that's what the great ones have."
Brees didn't necessarily agree with the theory of trying to match his elders Peyton Manning and Tom Brady step for step as all three quarterbacks are continuously mentioned, along with the younger Aaron Rodgers, as the NFL's elite quarterback bunch.
As competitive as Brees is with every aspect of life, I find that hard to believe. Inside, he probably knows that's true.Can Brees be the best at 40? 45? Probably not. As for the near future, there's no reason to believe Brees is slowing down. There's no reason Brees can't lead the Saints to another Super Bowl.
Would that be enough for Brees? A second Super Bowl? I doubt it. But that's what makes Brees, Brees.

Trending Topics
A La Carte (2/11)
February 11, 2013
For those who track the Kindle deals, here is what I'm aware of at the moment: What Did You Expect? by Paul David Tripp ($3.74); Loving the Way Jesus Loves by Philip Ryken; Because He Loves Me by Elyse Fitzpatrick ($4.99); Think by John Piper ($4.61); The Church and the Surprising Offense of God's Love by Jonathan Leeman ($5.99); The Joy of Calvinism by Greg Forster ($4.61); This Momentary Marriage by John Piper ($5.99); Crazy Love by Francis Chan ($3.74); Becoming the Woman of His Dreams by Sharon Jaynes ($2.51).
The Abundance of Giving - John MacArthur argues that of all the things we look forward to when coming to church, giving should be near the top of the list.
Evangelism as a Mom - This article is really encouraging. A mother of young children shares how she learned to share the gospel. Sometimes it's as simple as just making the opportunities; people may be more eager to hear the gospel than we imagine.
Like Naughty Kids - Tullian shares an interesting quote on how pastors should be like naughty kids. "They ought to be naughty enough to tiptoe up on dozing congregations, steal their bottles of religion pills…and flush them all down the drain."
The Difference a Decade Makes - Al Mohler serves as a guest voice for the Washington Post and marvels at the difference a decade makes when it comes to moral decline.
The Next Web - Here is one projection on the metaphor that may well define the future of the web.
Head Over Heels - This is a fantastic short film with a great message. "After many years of marriage, Walter and Madge have grown apart: he lives on the floor and she lives on the ceiling. They live separate, parallel lives, never talking, barely even looking at each other. When Walter tries to reignite their old romance, it brings their equilibrium crashing down, and the couple that can't agree which way is up must find a way to put their marriage back together."
Tolerance is the virtue of men who don't believe in anything. —G.K. Chesterton

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Kinky sex has been admitted to Harvard.
The nation's oldest university has formally recognized Harvard College Munch, a group promoting discussions and safe practices of kinky and alternative sex.
The Committee on Student Life recognized Munch on Friday, making it one of 400 independent student organizations on campus. It occurred more than a year after members began meeting informally over meals.
Founders say Munch "meets an otherwise unaddressed need on campus."
The Harvard Crimson quotes one founder as saying that recognition "comes with the fact of legitimacy" and shows members are being taken seriously.
Munch has created a safety team to enable victims of abuse or trauma get suitable help.
Organizers say the group started with seven people and now boasts of about 30 members.
Harvard is experiencing a brain drain! Imbeciles are being accepted.
That's nothing new. BHO graduated from there.
No one would expect any of you Neo-Cons to understand the above article. Keep worshipping Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party, they're serving you so well.

A 13th birthday party can be difficult to get right as it marks that start of your teenage years and so you probably want to move away from the more childlike cartoon based parties with traditional games like musical chairs.
Here are a few theme ideas that are not too childish but not too adult either:
Masquerade ball
Invite your guests to come dressed in gowns, suits and masks so that they remain anonymous and everyone can have a dance without feeling embarrassed. You can hire a DJ or have some entertainment like a magician or fortune teller and for food, you can have an all you can eat sweet factory or ice cream buffet.
Ghost theme
You can make your house or venue into a haunted house and have the guests go through as they come in alone or in twos (depending on how brave they are feeling). They can then have their faces painted like a ghost, witch or vampire and everyone can watch a scary movie together (or even watch Casper to relive childhood times).No products found!
Choc & Glam Party
Get a nail technician or beautician to come to your house and do nails, hair and/or makeup for you and your guests (you may even be able to have a chocolate facial!). Tell your guests to wear something glamorous so they all look done up then you can all go shopping. When you get back home, you can have more people over and have a chocolate fountain and everything else chocolate (after getting the parents to go upstairs). Finally, you can watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory while eating chocolate covered popcorn and then either have your sleepover or bid your guests goodbye.[cjwizard]13th,9,3780848+,,,,,,,,1,3,[/cjwizard]
Karaoke Party
Hire a karaoke machine and decorate the room with disco balls and fairy lights (you can also get flashing ones). You can have a stage area by placing a rug under some spotlights with a silver shower curtain on one side so the singers can come on it style. Have a dressing up box behind the curtain so that they can come out with a wig, funky glasses or feather boa on to match their persona. Start off with a group song like YMCA to warm everyone up and create a song book beforehand so that guests can choose what they would like to sing – they can write them on note cards and hand them to you near the beginning so that you can briefly organize a playlist and they do not have to wait too long between songs. Lastly, you can hold an award ceremony and give out prizes for best song, crowds' favorite song, best impersonation, most enthusiastic performance and wackiest song choice.

Bobby Jindal is adding reality TV guest to his resume.The governor spent a day filming with the Robertsons, who made a fortune on duck calls and star in A&E's "Duck Dynasty." The show's next season premieres June 11, the day after the governor's 43rd birthday."The Robertson Family epitomizes what it means to be a homegrown Louisiana business. We are proud of the economic boom Louisiana is seeing, and a large part of this is due to the expansion of individuals who run small businesses, like the Duck Commanders do. My family and I had so much fun hanging out with the Robertsons, and participating in the filming of Duck Dynasty was a highlight," Jindal said in a prepared statement.Earlier this year, Jindal defended "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson after the reality cable television star characterized gays as sinners and black people as happy, crooning cotton-picking laborers before the Civil Rights movement.
