About 8,000 British troops in Helmand province will answer to an American general under a major shake-up announced today that seals Britain's diminished role in southern Afghanistan.
In a long-expected move the Ministry of Defence said that command and control would be split into two areas.
The newly-created Regional Command (South West), which will comprise Helmand and Nimruz provinces, will be rotated between US and UK forces, with Major-General Richard Mills of the US Marine Corps taking charge of the first rotation.
The arrangements, which will come into force by the end of the summer, also involve the redefining of

Planning for Winter Vacation in Israel
Many people think of Israel as being hot and all year round. But this is far from the truth. While it's true that Israel weather is famously steamy in July and August, it is definitely not this way all the time. Israel's weather also differs from that which you will encounter in North America and Western Europe. Here, you will basically experience two different seasons: winter from late October to mid-March, and summer from April to October.
Why I'm Going Back to Vietnam
Many people who visit the country of Vietnam feel powerfully drawn to return again at another time. Why? Well, I haven't quite been able to put my thumb on it. It may be because of the adorable children of the nation, who run through the streets, grinning and flashing peace signs for the tourists' cameras. It may be because of the overall gentle and gracious demeanor of the people of Vietnam. Or, it could very well be due to the vividly colorful landscape, dramatic coastline, or compelling history. Even though I am not sure which reason is most persuasive, I find that I myself have certainly not escaped the grasp of Vietnam's charm.
Where in the World is Pushkar?
Never heard of the city of Pushkar? I'll give you three hints as to where it is located:
(1) The official languages are Hindi and English.
(2) The city is surrounded by hills on three sides, and sand dunes on the fourth.
(3) You'll find many different temples here, the most famous being the Brahma Temple.
Where in the World is Djerba?
Djerba (pronounced jer-buh) is one of those places in the world that somehow has remained a very well kept secret. Sometimes when I talk about it, I receive just a raised eyebrow and a puzzled look. If you are one who doesn't know much about Djerba, then read on, because Djerba is a secret that is definitely worth being in on.
What's the Hype with Maccabia this Summer?
Sports! Art! Drama! Travel! Culture! Perhaps because it's in Israel this year or perhaps because it combines both the games and art competitions, but all people can talk about is going to celebrate Maccabia in Israel this summer. You may have even noticed that the Maccabi ArtsFest was featured in a Super Bowl ad earlier this year!
What You May Not Know About Panama
The year 2010 is quickly coming to a close, which means that the Deluxe Kosher Tours journey to Panama this January is just as rapidly approaching. If you have read my past blogs about Panama (Panama is Much More Than the Canal, Highlights of My Trip to Panama City, and Planning For Winter Break) then you already know that Panama is the place of my birth, and a country that I think is just magnificent.
What Should I Buy in Vietnam?
Shopping in Vietnam is a feast for the eyes, and won't cause a famine in your wallet. This is undoubtedly the reason that shopping is such a popular activity here. As in most Asian countries, Vietnam beholds a wide array of cool items to shop for, and the prices are generally very low. Here you can have fun shopping for gifts for yourself, your family members, and your best friends, too.
What Do I Do In Fiji?
With a year-round topical climate and an abundant wealth of natural beauty, perhaps the more appropriate question here would be, what don't I do in Fiji? The options in this paradise are plentiful.
Venice – The Ghetto Nuova
For the Jewish traveler, Venice, Italy is a treasure trove of history and points of interest. While many travelers picture only romantic canals and captivating scenery, the truth is that the history of Venice has a darker side that must not be ignored.
Using Your Cell Phone When Traveling Abroad
So you're going abroad this spring or summer, and you want to stay in contact with stateside family and friends while you're gone. Just pop your cell phone in your purse or luggage and you're all set, right? Wrong. Dealing with telephone communications when you're on a different side of the ocean is not quite that simple.

The One Mistake a Lot of Pregnant Mamas MakeMonica Bielanko
We're inching closer to being able to learn the gender of our baby. At 15 weeks, depending on the position, we could maybe already find out. Tomorrow we have our monthly midwife appointment at which time she'll hook us up with the hospital she works with so we can make an appointment to get an ultrasound.
I figure we'll know if we've got a boy or a girl by mid-October, depending on how quickly the hospital schedules ultrasound appointments. Which is about right as we'll be around 20 weeks by then.
As just about any expectant mama can tell you, the one thing almost every person who hears you're pregnant asks is Are you hoping for a boy or a girl? I can honestly say that I don't care. Granted, I'm coming from the luxurious position of already having a boy and a girl and I probably wouldn't be feeling as fancy-free if I had a pack of all boys or all girls roaming the place. But whether or not you've got one boy or ten, the chances of having a girl remain the same so all the wishing and hoping in the world won't make it so. And it just might work against you.
I made the mistake of thinking I was having a boy when I was pregnant with my daughter. I wasn't necessarily hoping for a boy, I was just pretty sure my first kid was going to be a boy. This was based on absolutely nothing, of course, nonetheless, I spent the first four months of my pregnancy dreaming of a blonde, little boy. And then I went in for the ultrasound and they promptly declared my boy was a girl.
I cried. God, I hate to say that now because I cannot imagine not having my Violet, my beautiful daughter, the very child I was meant to have, but yeah, I cried. My confused husband, who wisely never predicted or fantasized about a specific gender, sat in the hospital parking lot rubbing my back as I tried to explain my tears. It wasn't because I was upset that I was having a girl but because it felt like I was mourning the loss of the little boy I had fantasized about. I ruined the awesome moment of learning about my daughter's existence with some mental image of a boy that was based on nothing.
Set myself up for disappointment, didn't I?
That's what I want to warn you against doing. Don't let your fantasies carry you too far down the boy or girl road. If you've started thinking hard about a specific gender, focus on the alternative as well. If you find yourself going gaga over frilly pink onesies and ballerina tutus, make sure you immerse yourself in tiny ties and baseball caps too. If you're one of these women who boldly declare mother's intuition with a resolute, I know I'm having a boy, you should think twice. Yeah, there's a 50% chance you have mother's intuition about your child's gender and there's a 50% chance you have absolutely no idea.
Bottom line: the minute that baby is born you wouldn't have it any other way, wouldn't be able to imagine life without that very specific human being, so don't set yourself up for disappointment you'll only regret feeling later.

A Northern Alabama school superintendent will no longer allow pregame prayers before high school football games.
The Arab City School District of Arab, Ala., has opened its high school football games with a tradition of prayer for almost a decade. School officials say they will replace it with a moment of silence.
The reversal comes after the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation claimed a parent was upset about the policy.
Arab City Schools Superintendent John Mullins said school officials don't know who has been offended, and he apologized if they've offended anyone.
The change in the policy has some parents saying they will move to fight any prayer ban.
"As a community we need to stand up for what's right," Marbury parent Vicki Johnson told Montgomery television station WAKA.
The television station also reported that some people they spoke with said they plan to stand and say the Lord's Prayer at the start of each Arab football game.
School districts in Mississippi and Kentucky recently dropped their pregame prayers after threats from the atheist group.

Setting the Scene - quoted from IGN
A demented horror game from Sega and Monolith, designed for next-generation consoles and game systems. You are an FBI agent on the hunt in this gripping and sickening hunt for serial killers. The game is played in first-person perspective, and with the use of the Havok 3.0 physics engine and other advanced techniques, players can utilize anything in the area as a weapon when they've been cornered by their prey.
The Good
The game does look pretty darned good tho I should mention that is is DARK with a capital D. I would have to say its the best looking I've seen so far making great use of shaders in a more sensible way than say Kameo or Quake4. The addition of some fairly high end filters great shadowing and some great cinematically scripted set pieces left me firmly in the opinion that more people need to use this form of storytelling/gameplay.
The sound is similarly amazing with some incredibly good surround sound effects highlighting the spooky/uneasy feeling propagated in every chapter. Having played this primarily at night I can definitely attest to the surround being both surprising and lifelike - I can't count how many times I found myself pressing pause to make sure there really wasn't someone behind me; its a chilling effect to have on a player and it remained even down to the final scenes.
The gameplay consists largely of roaming/investigating specific areas of your game world attempting to find evidence of crimes that all stem from the initial scenes within the game. You are accused of murdering 2 police officers and thus your aim throughout the game is to prove your innocence... seems sensible enough until you actually start exploring.
The world is populated by drug addicts and homeless zombie like people who are all "crazed" in some way and all occupy darkened areas that you have to investigate. The primary weapons are melee in nature with some firearms dotted around. The most common form of attack is a surprise one as you walk around a corner and suddenly a nasty looking face is hitting you with a random piece of pipping or electric cabling. The AI is particularly noticeable in that it seems to learn from your movements/attacks... if you attack with an axe and your attacker has a wooden plank then he is likely to run away and try to find something that contends with your axe - on most occasions they fail (I'm an attack first - hide the body kinda player) but they do try more and more as your progress through the 10 chapters.
The game does contain a normal amount of "you're stuck" "find the switch" type tasks but they are almost seemless and don't detract from the spooky feel to the game. Something the game does contain that isn't normal is an almost CSI like investigatory tool that allows you to (at certain times) examine evidence and have it analysed by a lab tech. The reports that come back almost exhaustively direct the game and so the aim of the game becomes to get this evidence and move on to the next scene.
There is an element of collection OCD in the game too in that you are urged to pick up pieces of metal and dead/dying birds... I have yet to actually find any reason for this but I did find myself on many occasions going back through to find the birds to get the acheivements (I failed miserably so far).
The story is for once pretty good and while I won't spoil anything I can tell you that you won't guess the ending, it has characters, interaction and semi-believable motives without being too Family Channel like. I enjoyed it.
The Bad
The melee combat does get tired, not immediately but by chapter 6 I was pretty well trained up on how to kill the various enemies within the game and how to react to their moves... 4 chapters later and I was ready for the ending. That is not to say it doesn't offer a challenge but it is definitely to say that it was too much of a good thing - more variation may have alleviated this feeling but without having that variation to begin with its hard to say for sure.
The graphics in places look uncharacteristically bad - some cutscenes seem to have been arted by very different artists and thus the look doesn't remain consistent. The character always looks like the same guy but the bad scenes simply have that guy looking BAD, like a bad model was used or some bad texturing slipped through. This occured in maybe 4/5 places in the game including the final scenes in the car at the end (for anyone who has played the game its the one right after the final battle).
Physics - while I should note that in general the physics are good it does seem strange that certain elements of the scenery can move whilst others cannot without any notable reasoning or visual cue. While this isn't a major issue it did bug me on various occasions so I thought I should mention it.
Movement - it seems strange that your character cannot jump normally but only when the gameplay prompts you to do so, again nothing really bad but irritating in situations when being able to jump would have eased the tension somewhat.
The save system could have done with more information regarding WHAT you were saving. On several occasions the game seemed to switch from a checkpoint style save to a more generic save whereever form, I may be mistaken on this but the checkpoint style (esp at the end) irritated me somewhat.
Online Play
The Verdict
I really enjoyed playing Condemned and my facial muscles can attest to just HOW tense I was whilst playing. It is the first game that has really instilled actual fright into me while playing and that is hard to do, the story was good and the gameplay kept me going whilst not always thrilling me. I would play the game again and so it will remain in my collection if only to go back and get those damned birds/metal pieces. I would give it a score of 8.0 definitely worth playing tho probably not for everyone due to its frightening effects on the player; don't buy it for your grandad but DO play it in the dark and let it drag you in.

Though a good effort to try to bring something new to the table. I did not quite like this game. I played it for about an hour or so and did not feel the need to continue playing. It just doesn't have a compeling allure to it. It is an interesting game though, but one that is not worth the price as of yet.
I agree. I must admit the chill factor is cool. In the begining when the 2 cops left to head up fire escape, I was like no don't leave me!!!!!
I'm sure there's frequent (even more intense) moments like this but in the end the fighting was so weak I couldn't bring myself to play any longer.....didn't even get through the demo level.

Well I had the chance to pick this one up for 30 dollars the other day. I am going to give it a run through here soon and will post my full opinion of the game when done.
Thanks for the review. I have re-read it and am ready to start playing it again.

I played the demo for about 15 minutes and it scared the poop out of me. I had my 5.1 cranked up so I could hear ever little whisper and noise. It was almost too intense for me (I'm a chicken-shit, I know) so I probably won't buy the game. Not because I didn't like it, but because my mind couldn't handle the intensity. Hahaha.
Posted 09 June 2007 - 05:35 PM
I had more fun and the "i gotta get home to play Condmeed" feeling than GOW, COD2 /3 and Halo 1/2/3Beta
And especially now, you can grab this used for $20, your a dam fool if you don't get it
P.S The demo doesn't do this game any justice at all, and once you pass level 3, it gets 110% better

BUENA VISTA -- State Police are warning motorists to beware on one South Jersey highway where someone has been placing tire spikes on the pavement.
Police said about 10 vehicles have been damaged on Tuckahoe Road in Buena Vista Township, about 25 miles west of Atlantic City, over the past several months.
The devices consist of footlong metal rods welded together in a square base with other rods protruding upward.
Police said they have flattened tires on several vehicles and ruptured the fuel line of a state police vehicle.
Most of the incidents have happened after midnight, and authorities are particularly worried that a motorcyclist could be hurt or even killed by hitting one of the objects. No one has been injured so far.

GSP weighed around 192lbs tonight against Sheilds... Why is he ducking Silva again?
The secrets behind GSPs weight-cutting (and gaining) success
By Maggie Hendricks
Mystery surrounds elite fighters and their ability to cut weight. How is it possible for Georges St. Pierre to drop 25 pounds by Friday afternoon before his fight with Jake Shields but gain most of it back and be full-strength by fight time on Saturday night?
It's no guessing game. Smart fighters treat nutrition as a science, carefully regulating their diet before fights. GSP's main trainer Firas Zahabi talked about what the UFC welterweight champ does to ensure a healthy weight cut.
Now he's on a protein and vegetable diet. Right now his exercise is significantly cut, but he's going to shed water. It's only temporary weight loss. It's not real weight loss. You're not dropping fat. (The final weight-cut) lasts about six days . . . By Friday he'll have six or seven pounds left and we'll put him in the sauna. I don't recommend this to anybody, even professional athletes. This is somebody who's very seasoned.
After GSP steps on the scale on Friday afternoon and weighs in at 170 lbs., his team will give him a carbohydrate-laden recovery drink. Then, he will eat normally and drink water to rehydrate. He'll weigh around 192 lbs. by the time he steps in the Octagon with Shields on Saturday night for UFC 129.
Some fighters start their eating plan months in advance. Mike Dolce, a nutritionist and former contestant on "The Ultimate Fighter," works with fighters to ensure a complete eating plan that helps fighters cut weight without the sauna. Like Zahabi, Dolce does not recommend sauna use
"The guys who use the sauna to cut ten or twelve pounds, you're forcing your body to expel so much water so quickly that it's not discerning what water is safe to cut from the system and what water isn't. It's just taking it from wherever, and it becomes dangerous. That's where you see guys who don't recover from their weight cut. They look sluggish in their fight, and they defeat the whole purpose of all the training and the conditioning from their fight camp."
A recent study on wrestlers found that severe weight cuts could hurt their mental abilities in a match. Without using proper methods, fighters can find themselves in bad shape for their bouts.

That fight make no sense. Bisbing is no measuring stick for Silva. Either GSP fights Silva or he doesn't fight at 185 at all
I'm wondering where they got 192 from? That isn't quoted anywhere in that article from a source and I have heard numerous times GSP stating his weight his around 185-187 lbs come fight night
As for as GSP ducking Silva, well its a huge weight jump for him. The problem is a two fold one.
1.) Hes moving up an entire weight class 15lbs
2.) Hes taking on the P4P best fighter in the world at that weight.
So not only is he fighting at a class hes never been at hes also fighting a guy who is considered to be P4P better than him. Thats a huge deal. Its not like GSP is some ***** for not jumping right up there. Thats a calculated move with putting on some size.
Strong champion.

i've heard that thiago alvez used to walk around at 220-230 and balloon up to 200 lbs after weighing in for a 170 lb fight
guys that come from a wrestling background have been making weight their entire lives by cutting water weight
i'm convinced we'd see much better chins in mma if guys didn't all follow this trend, and fought closer to their natural weights

Anthony Johnson was 195lbs for his last fight and thats a pretty damn impressive cut. Usually the rule of thumb is most guys can cut around 10% of their body weight. Obviously factors like how much muscle a guy has plays with that number but 10% give or take a few is pretty much the upper limit for the majority of guys. Guys like Johnson stretch that number a bit more.
% of the body weight is more important than an actual number because the bigger you are the easier it is to cut weight compared to a smaller guy. A HW cutting 20lbs to make 265lbs is much easier than a WW cutting 20lbs to make 170lbs.

force them to have a weigh in an hour before the fight. This way fighters will be fighting close to their optimal weight which makes it a bit fairer.

cause honestly Gsp will have a good chance of losing against Anderson Silva. His jabbing fighting style wont really work on Silva. Silva is to elusive, and can capitalize on Gsp's holes in his standup game.
In my mind if Gsp were to go to 185 he would lose to Anderson Silva. We all know that Gsp does'nt want to lose. So this fight wont happen unless theres a lot of money on the line, possible boxing pay. (A mil or two each)

Yeah it would have to be a better pay day. GSP is definitely making over a million a fight now with PPV cut($400,000 + PPV buys).

Whenever you travel you're just not sure what to do with all your jewelry. Make this neat jewelry case you can neatly store all your pretty jewels in. Perfect for traveling.
- Padded fabric placemat, approximately 12 ¾" X 18"
- Coordinating fabric for pockets 2" wider than placement and 10" deep. Sample used 20" X 10
- 3 yards 5/8" –3/4" wide coordinating satin ribbon
- Iron
- Scissors
Fold and iron 1/2" hems to the wrong side of all sides of the coordinating "pocket" fabric. Roll and press another ½" on the 10" sides, completely sealing raw edges. Unfold pressed sides and run a thin line of FABRI-TAC under the last fold, refold and gently press down with your fingers to eliminate oozing.
Fold and press top and bottom edges in 1", completely sealing raw edges, and glue top and bottom hems into place.
Glue ribbon onto pocket fabric by gluing along top hem, wrapping ribbon around to wrong sides on both edges. Glue ribbons along side seams and pocket divider lines as in picture. Adjust pocket size and quantity to suit your needs. Sample has 6 pockets varying in size from 3 ½" to 1 ¾" wide. Wrap ribbons around to the wrong side at both the top and bottom.
Lay pocket onto placement. Fold bottom corners diagonally if using a placemat with rounded edges as in sample. Apply FABRI-TAC to wrong side of hems and pocket divider lines and start gluing on one side and bottom corner. Glue one section and press in place. Continue with glue along first pocket divider line and bottom hem. Repeat gluing for each pocket divider. Glue final corner and side in place.
Fold top 3" of the placemat down, covering the tops of the pockets. Iron to crease.
- Either fold or roll up case. To fold, bring both ends into center and then bring halves together. Wrap 30-32" of matching ribbon around the case and tie in a bow. Mark where the center of the ribbon is on the case and then glue in place with FABRI-TAC.

The National Assembly restarts debate today on the bill to allow doctors to assist in a patient's death.
MNAs are expected to carry out about four more hours of debate before the legislation can be put to a final vote. That would place the vote on Thursday or Friday.
And, once again, many Liberals are expressing their intention to vote "no."
"A lot of it is quite personal. Personal experience. I accompanied my own mother when I was a student," says Kathleen Weil, the MNA for NDG, who says she will oppose the bill. She says she favours palliative care.
When this bill went to a second reading vote last October, half of the Liberals' MNAs opposed the legislation.
Gerry Sklavounos and Jean D'amours have also announced today they will vote against this time around, while Marguerite Blais says she has changed her mind and will now support it.
Just like the last time, the bill will be subject to free vote at its third and final reading, which means MNAs will be allowed to vote their conscious, rather than according to a party line.
Although the exact vote count is not known, this legislation only needs the support of seven Liberals in order to pass into law - a number it is very likely to obtain.

8 maternity fashion myths so easily busted
The Bump expert Liz Lange, founder of Liz Lange for Target Maternity, offers her advice about these style rules for pregnant women that were made to be broken.
Myth No. 1: You can get by with clothes you already own.
Reality: Go ahead, shop from your closet (and your hubby's) for the first two months but, at some point, maternity clothes will just fit better. Of course there are exceptions. For example, leggings and loose cardigans (worn unbuttoned) will work for most of trimester two.
Myth No. 2: Expensive maternity clothes are a waste of money.
Reality: We're all for bargain buys, but because these items are pretty much the only things you'll wear over the next nine months (they'll take a beating), it's a smart idea to invest in a few well-made, quality pieces.
Myth No. 3: You can't wear sleeveless.
Reality: Self-conscious about your arms? Don't be. This is the best time to bare them. Your baby bump creates an optical illusion -- the bigger your midsection gets, the smaller your arms will look.
Myth No. 4: A long dress will look like a muumuu.
Reality: If showing a little leg isn't your thing, you can pull off a strapless or sleeveless maxi dress (yes, even if you're petite). To avoid a bulky look, choose one in a lightweight fabric.
Myth No. 5: Empire waists are always flattering.
Reality: Sure, this waistline works for lots of moms-to-be but, for some, loose tops just add extra heft. Form-fitting styles (we love side-ruching) will hug your new curves and flatter your new shape.
Myth No. 6: Bold patterns and bright colors are a bad idea.
Reality: You can still wear most prints. Add them in small touches, like a striped cardigan over a solid cami, or a graphic top with plain pants. And subtly work little pops of color into an all-black wardrobe.
Myth No. 7: You must make over your look.
Reality: Don't ditch your personal style just because you're pregnant. If you usually wear casual jeans and T-shirts -- or little black dresses -- you should continue to rock those looks while you're expecting.
Myth No. 8: Flats are your only footwear choice.
Reality: Teetering in 4-inch stilettos is never a good idea (plus, high heels can cause serious back pain and other problems), but don't be afraid to sport a small stacked or kitten heel for a little extra height.

A day later, the accomplishment hadn't turned stale but instead of basking in the satisfaction of completing the first cycle of his Major League career, Diamondbacks second baseman Aaron Hill's attention had already shifted to the next game.
"It's fun to have but the good thing about baseball, whether you have a good day or bad day, you wake up the next day and do it all over again," Hill said.
The feat -- a single in the first, triple in the third, double in the fifth and a home run in the seventh for the fifth cycle in franchise history -- was definitely memorable, and Hill was able to snag the home-run ball, which was turned in by a fan.
But the impact of the performance could hold greater significance if it acts as a catalyst for an up-and-down Diamondbacks offense searching for a consistent rhythm.
"You sure hope so," manager Kirk Gibson said. "Whenever you score runs like that, it helps relax the team."
It certainly had a role in Monday's seven-run outburst against the Seattle Mariners, and the offense was just as potent on Tuesday but it wasn't enough as the Diamondbacks fell 12-9 in 10 innings in front of 21,568 at Chase Field.
Hill had another double and home run (his ninth), and the Diamondbacks rallied from an 8-5 hole with a three-run fifth before taking the lead. But the Mariners sealed the comeback in the 10th against closer J.J. Putz and reliever Brad Ziegler with a two-run single by Casper Wells and an RBI double from Ichiro Suzuki.
"Our pitching's been great," Gibson said after the game. "We've been on a pretty good roll. It's unfortunate it's the way it worked out tonight."
Before the series with the Mariners, the Diamondbacks scored five or more runs seven times this month but they've also been limited to fewer than two runs or shutout six times in the same span.
"It's important to have a guy like that have a game like he did," Gibson said about Hill. "Everybody's not going to click at once. It's just not going to happen. Somebody's going to be struggling. But it's who can pick the guy up that doesn't do it. Somebody fails in a situation, guys come up two outs and picks him up. Those are big."
Hill's a likely candidate to spark his teammates' bats. Entering Tuesday's game, Hill was hitting .408 with three home runs and 10 RBIs in his past 13 games. He's batting .378 in his past 22.
Gibson chatted with Hill about a month ago and since then, he's noticed Hill attempt to stay behind the ball.
"We all watch film, and we compare it to different times in their career," Gibson said. "It's dangerous to try and be that same guy because it doesn't feel that way, but there's certain things that you do that maybe you show them that it brings back a feel in their memory and just how they feel at the plate."
These hot spurts are typical for Hill. When he was acquired last season in late August from Toronto, he hit .315 in 33 games - an improvement from the .225 he carried with the Blue Jays that season.
"You do everything you can in the cages and the field, and you just let it happen out in the game," Hill said. "It sounds easy, but you've just got to believe in yourself and what you're doing and the hard work will pay off."

Resolutions for Keeps
By Express News Service
Published: 05th January 2014 12:00 AM
Last Updated: 04th January 2014 11:59 AM
Though, there are no studies to prove it, "weight loss" tops the list of New Year's resolutions. There is nothing to fret if it has featured or topped your list more than once. It happens with most. A medical practitioner has aptly defined resolution as "It's 'solution', meaning you are solving a problem, with the prefix 're', which usually means again. We strive to solve a problem again and again and again."
So, continuing with the tradition we look at some healthy resolutions for 2014:
Keep a food diary: This gives you a more accurate picture of what you are consuming, so you can target areas for improvement. Include all snacks and drinks as these can massively contribute to your daily calorie intake. Identify the times when you are most likely to reach for high fat/sugar foods and keep healthy alternatives to hand.
Get some fresh air: Simply being in nature can have a big effect on an overloaded mind. Find a place in nature that speaks to you, whether it's a spot in your backyard or a bench at a local park. Visit there regularly, even if it's only for a short time.
Sleep more: Sleeping helps burn fat, decreases stress, improves immune system and boosts mood and mental clarity. If a night's sleep doesn't seem to give you a day's energy, investigate your sleep quality. Put your phone to work with apps that tell you how much rest you got versus moving around the bed. Try Sleepbot or Deep Sleep.
Add something: Instead of subtracting soda, sugar or fat from your diet, make a resolution to add something. Add a serving of vegetables to every meal. Add protein to your snacks. Add two glasses of water to your daily routine. You'll find over time that these additions will leave no room for unhealthy habits.
Go fishing: Aim to consume at least two portions of fish each week (one of which should be oily). Oily fish contains omega 3 fatty acids that protect the heart and seafood contains iodine, which is important for brain development and to regulate the body's metabolism. Try using fish in stews and curries as an alternative to meat.
Take time to breathe: When was the last time you inhaled deeply, feeling your ribcage lift and your chest expand? Most people take only shallow breaths throughout the day. This limits the oxygen circulating throughout the body, leading to increased anxiety and higher blood pressure.

Preparation, insurance help minimize impact
Monitor & Adjust
Testing plans key to catastrophe management
While large companies generally have the financial wherewithal and geographic diversity to withstand catastrophes, smaller and midsized businesses are more vulnerable to the potential for catastrophic economic losses when disaster strikes. And even though most companies have some awareness of the potential damage such catastrophes can cause to their operations, income and employee safety, few have effective crisis management plans. In addition, those that do have them rarely review them except when they are needed. Many small and midsized businesses are also often caught off guard because they don't buy adequate business insurance to reimburse them for such losses. ›› More
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, insurance coverage receded along the floodwaters, while prices surged. The insurance market's reaction to one of the most destructive storms in U.S. history taught valuable lessons about risk mitigation when adequate insurance coverage may not be available. ›› More
The extent of flooding and duration of service interruption following Hurricane Irene caught many small and midsize businesses in the Northeast off guard last year. Many of these businesses either didn't have flood insurance or had limits on service interruption, ingress/egress or civil authority coverage in their business owners or commercial property insurance policies. ›› More
Even with insurance coverage, small and midsize businesses need to put emergency response and business continuity plans in place to mitigate financial loss from hurricanes. Such preparations are especially important when catastrophes cover a large geographic area, like Hurricane Irene, since it can take days or even weeks before insurance claims adjusters can reach affected properties. ›› More

Spurs in 6
June 4, 2007 - Neil Rudel
Thoughts on the NBA Finals ...
*I'm picking San Antonio in 6 -- if it goes that long. The Spurs are well rested, and it's doubtful Cleveland has a defensive answer for Tim Duncan. Plus getting to the Eastern final has already made it a great year for Cleveland. (Feel free to drop me your pick and I'll publish; I'm working on my comment count so I don't disappear in the rear-view mirrors of Ray Eckenrode and Kristin Heinbaugh).
*LeBron James' amazing performance in the Cavs' double-overtime win over Detroit late Thursday night and his ability to get Cleveland into the Finals clearly stamps him as the NBA's reigning best player. Kobe Bryant might be second, if you're talking about perimeter players, and while Bryant surely has some good years left, James is now just so on the rise, improving with each playoff game.
*Think the Pistons, who are getting long in the tooth, missed Ben Wallace? It's hard to believe LeBron would have gotten so many key down-the-middle dunks if Wallace were still in Detroit.
*How can anybody coach Rasheed Wallace?
*Daniel Gibson was open because he plays alongside LeBron, but give Gibson credit for making the open outside shot, which is more than Larry Hughes could do all year.
*The Cavaliers aren't a whole lot better than the Lakers; it's just that the NBA West is a whole lot deeper than the East.
*Try not to get hurt on the fence, Billy Donovan. You'd think Mr. Gator, also courted by Kentucky and other NBA jobs, would have thought this through better.

MARTINSBURG - It is something simple. It is a break from the fast-paced life and quickly prepared coffees sent through a drive-thru window. It is a taste of Europe and it can now be found in Martinsburg.
Six months ago, Judy Gubinski opened the Little Shepherd Cuisine, a bakery located off Shepherdstown Road, and she recently added an old-world-style coffee house, or "kaffeehaus," to the mix.
"My mission is to keep alive the old-world culinary traditions, whether they be French, German or English," Gubinski said between giving instructions to her staff during the early hours of the grand opening earlier this month.

Journal photos by Michelle Horst
Judy Gubinski, owner of Little Shepherd Cuisine, pours freshly prepared French press coffee to her guests during the open house for her coffee shop.
Decretive plates display some of the sweets the bakery has to offer.
Gubinski transformed a more than 100-year-old barn that went through many uses over the years, including a rib restaurant, garage and even a dog kennel, into an intricately crafted place for people to sit and enjoy coffee and pastries off fine dishes and cups.
Gubinski's father served in the military, which led her to spend time in different countries as she was growing up. Though her travels, Gubinski experienced many different types of cuisines throughout Europe.
"I have a lot of food-related memories of families and festive gatherings," Gubinski said. "I remember food being beautiful and fascinating."
When she came to the United States, she found that many recipes were prepared differently and often filled with sugar and made quickly.
"Not that there isn't a place for sugary, frosted cupcakes, but a lot of times you go into the grocery store and you'll see something that's neon frosted. I believe that even for children, food can be beautiful and it doesn't have to be gaudy," she said.
Unlike what many may expect, European pastries are not overly sweet or sugar-laden. Rather, the pastries are crafted so the taste of the fruit stands out, she explained.
"I remember being in Germany and looking at the Christmas markets with the gingerbread hanging, and that is something that I wanted to bring to this area," Gubinski said. "In Europe, if you go to a restaurant, you take your time and you wouldn't mind waiting the four minutes for French press coffee, because it's about the relaxation."
She does serve to-go cups of brewed coffee for customers in a rush, though.
Lunch items will represent a variety of countries and will be rotated during the days, Gubinski said.
"One day we might have for lunch in the coffee house, homemade pierogies, and the next we may have anything from empanadas to French chicken tarragon," she said.
Additionally, the summer months lend themselves to adding fresh apples and wild raspberries to the tarts and pastries.
"I hope this brings the people in this area a beautiful and delicious European culinary experience like they might remember from their past, or if they've never had that, to introduce them to those traditional things that we've often forgotten in our fast-paced society," Gubinski said.

Take a peek at the other ideas, next.

"A living room" is how the Tralfamadore's legendary co-founder Edward Lawson describes it now. That's the atmosphere he and his brother Robert Lawson were after when the extraordinary basement club opened at Main and Fillmore in 1975. "We wanted to have our friends over and listen to good music."
Just before the Lawsons, the place was known as Dirty Dick's Bathhouse. What they created in such an unpromising location as a deliberately "biracial" club wound up changing nightlife in Western New York.
The club moved from Main and Fillmore to its current downtown location at 622 Main St. in 1982 where it celebrates its 30th anniversary this weekend. The party includes a concert tonight by Spyro Gyra, who began in the original club as the band on Thursday nights that you could catch "for a buck."
And, gloriously and incredibly, both Ed Lawson and his co-founding brother Bob are scheduled to be there this weekend, despite a decidedly rocky history with the club after the move to its tailor-made downtown digs.
The Lawson brothers' original Tralf was, from the beginning, an idea.
What resulted from its founding was a small community miracle. It wasn't merely one of the greatest jazz clubs this city will ever have – and one of the greatest on the East Coast – it was a local template for almost everything else that has functioned as a kind of small arts center in this city, whether we're talking about the former Calumet or Babeville.
The original Tralfamadore (named by the Lawsons after a planet created by author Kurt Vonnegut) was a place where local comedy acts performed. And where University at Buffalo writers, including Leslie Fiedler, Raymond Federman, Robert Creeley, Ishmael Reed, even Anthony Burgess read from their works.
Folk singers and classical musicians performed there.
It was a place where the musicians and the audience came first and the piano was always in tune. (In 1979, one tuner alone tuned it 59 times. Lawson used others.)
It was where, Lawson says now, there was "a cross-section of people who felt the club was their home."
Jay Beckenstein of Spryo Gyra fondly recalls the influential role the original Tralf had with Buffalo's "magnificent" music scene in the 1970s and early '80s. "There was a terrific R&B scene, terrific jazz. The Tralf was the place where it all came together. I have incredibly good memories of the place as being an incubator for great music," Beckenstein says.
The memories are endless for others as well. Lawson recalls Brazilian guitarist Egberto Gismonti and Brazilian percussionist Nana Vasconcelos sitting with musicians until 6 in the morning. Mal Waldron – Billie Holiday's longtime pianist and a covert influence on John Coltrane – played an extraordinary evening of solo piano for a handful of people. Another time, tables were removed to make room for the two-vibraphone jazz group called Double Image.
Lawson, the consummate diplomat, had to coax Carmen McRae out to perform after she hit the ceiling over having to use his office for her dressing room and blasted him with a memorable aria of inventive profanity. Lawson reminded her how much her audience adored her and she was as memorable that night as any jazz singer ever was at the original Tralf.
Lawson also had to deal with the legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius who was, he now says, even more of a pain than McRae. That's because he was both "unreasonably demanding and drug addled." To Pastorius' sudden, uncontractual demand that, as a recent vegetarian convert, he be served only vegetarian food, Lawson said he later discovered from the musician's manager that only a couple of days before he'd devoured a steak in Toronto.
Eva Hassett – the daughter of jazz impresario W.D. Hassett – was a young Harvard student when she worked at the Tralf a couple of summers. "I got to drive the artists around and be sure they were well taken care of – really fed my inner groupie. Other than the music, I mainly remember the people that worked or hung out there. It was a family," she recalls. "Billy Pilgrim's kitchen made amazing food for being in such a teeny, tiny place. I remember it being happy and crowded and people just loving the music that they heard. We'd get lines out the door wanting to get in most nights. … You knew the music was changing people."
The transition from the Lawsons' tiny original Tralf to the downtown club with a capacity of nearly 400 people was, in the minds of some in that original "family," something on the order of an expulsion from Eden.
Lawson, though, has a different view: "The Tralf on Main and Fillmore would have died and nothing would have taken its place" without the Dewart brothers and attorney James Rolls, he said, who made the Main Street club possible 30 years ago.
Some of the club's original ideas survived. So did Ed Lawson's input into the club's design. It wasn't enough eventually to keep Lawson in the fold among the hierarchy in the club he and his brother invented and imbued with such singular spirit and love. After Lawson's departure a succession of proprietors has run the club effectively keeping its version of the club's original spirit alive. It changed nightlife in Western New York.
Even so, many in the Tralf's original unrelated "family" have maintained a certain frost toward the downtown club, even though it has been a community staple for three decades now.
What Lawson now says about his community-changing history is "the bottom line is the bottom line and I'm not referring to the club in [New York] ... the way I looked at it at the time is that I was trading my reputation to be able to do what I loved to do."
Ed Lawson is now in the food equipment business in Tampa.
It may be Spyro Gyra who'll play for this 30th anniversary of the downtown club, but to many its star – along with his brother Bob – will be Ed Lawson, who changed our lives with an idea.
Throughout many subsequent proprietors and torch-bearers, enough of the Lawsons' original idea for the club survived to bring a spectacular roster of entertainment downtown and just enough of a family DNA and living room feeling to keep it essential to our community's sense of itself.

53% of small and 59% of medium sized business owners believe the responsibility for setting budgets, controlling payments and determining the company's financial strategy lies with senior management, despite 1 in 3 senior managers admitting they are unprepared to take on the role according to Basware's SMB Finance[SJ1] research.
The SMB Finance research surveyed 558 business owners and 1,368 employees with financial responsibility from small to medium enterprises to identify the financial processes and owners of responsibility within SMBs across the UK, US, Sweden, Germany and Belgium & Netherlands.
This research aims to inform SMBs of the challenges they face in growth, as well as educating business owners on the productivity levels of their employees as 'small business processes' reach breaking point. The findings also help businesses to understand the investment needed in people, processes and technologies as they move from 'small' to 'medium' and beyond.
The findings suggest that, with financial responsibility being handed down from owners to senior managers, a much greater understanding of the role is needed if they are to complete it successfully – 45% of senior managers have yet to receive formal financial training. Similarly, those higher up the organisation ladder are unprepared to take on this responsibility – 57% of board members are untrained. The issue does not appear to be restricted to locality, with 28% in Europe and 33% in US wanting greater understanding of how to manage company money.
Conversely, with little structure in place within micro-businesses, business owners are much less likely to hold other members of their organisation responsible for finances. 56% of microbusiness owners state that nobody else within their company is expected to engage with financial processes, with board members (27%) and senior managers (17%) occasionally being trusted with finances.
Basware's SMB Finance research indicates a greater need for simpler and more manageable processes that employees can engage with. In total, 34% of employees' job descriptions in Europe and 31% in the US did not include reference to financial responsibility within the role. With an increasing diffusion of financial responsibility, a more holistic approach that allows all employees to engage with basic financial processes could prove beneficial for ensuring that financial activity is appropriately attended to.
Key findings from the SMB Finance research on controlling financial expenditure:
- Company spend rules and regulations – 44% of organisations said that expenditure was controlled by departments and functions, compared to just 18% in the US
- Strict rules on company spenders – 38% of employees say they are not allowed to spend company money, compared to just 3% of employees in the US
- Desire for spend authority – 21% of employees in medium sized businesses say they would like authority to make purchases in their own field vs. 14% in small and 6% in micro
Andrew Jesse, VP at Basware UK comments: "In a tough economic climate, often competing against larger organisations, SMBs have to make tough decisions about the control of finances within their organisation as they pursue growth. The SMB Finance research suggests that, regardless of their locality and size, all SMBs need to take a hard look at the effectiveness of their finance function, which has a big role in the overall effectiveness of their company, if they are to achieve their aims for expansion. Currently, financial expertise is missing where it really counts, and these existing discrepancies highlight a need for greater sensitivity to financial needs, processes and focus on how employees are expected to take control of a role they are not trained to."
Basware's SMB Finance research also gives an indication of SMB motivations in the current financial climate:
- 61% of organisations in Europe are currently prioritising finding new business customers to support their growth, compared to 51% of US organisations
- This motivation is particularly prevalent among micro-businesses (62% vs. 53% amongst medium sized businesses)
- However, medium businesses are more worried about controlling their financial infrastructure, with 49% stating cost control (32% among micro-business) and 42% managing cash flow (18% among micro organisations) as a key challenge for their company
Research definitions
European medium-sized business: Organisations with between 50-250 employees
European small-sized business: Organisations with between 10-50 employees
European micro-business: Organisations with up to 10 employees
US medium-sized business: Organisations with between 50—500 employees
US small-sized business: Organisations with between 10-50 employees
US micro-business: Organisations with up to 10 employees

Which area, if you don't mind? I'm still on the hunt for a West Texan.
I am new, very new to the Paleo concept. I'm really looking forward to this. I am waiting on Mark's book so I have just been reading information here for now.
I'm a 53 year old female. 5'2 1/2 and 134 pounds. I lost 50 pounds 1 1/2 years ago on weight watchers so yes, I am brainwashed into believing that fat is bad. I am willing to change all of that though. I have been eating gluten/grain free for 1 1/2 years since I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity. I think the really hard part for me will be cutting the carbs ( I eat probably 200-250 per day) and increasing the fat.
I am also a cardio junkie ( use to workout 8-10 hours a week)but as of recently have not worked out for 2 1/2 weeks due to a injury so this is a great time for me to change it all up.
Hoping some of you will share what eating Paleo has done for you and your weight goals, how do you feel.....stuff like that.
I'm ready to get primal...will you all help me?
Which area, if you don't mind? I'm still on the hunt for a West Texan.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"

The big reason for the Hollidaysburg Area School District's growing financial worries is not district property owners' opposition to paying higher taxes.
They've endured millage increases, albeit not since the 2008-09 school year.
Hollidaysburg's money problems are rooted instead in the failure of current and past school board members and administrators to be blunt in identifying the reasons for the district's dilemma, and then use that as a springboard for working to rectify what's wrong.
The Oct. 20 Mirror articles delving into the exodus of administrators over the past year and the differing opinions over whether the district should opt for property tax increases provided abundant examples of the reluctance of those interviewed to be specific regarding blame.
The district can't hope to gain the upper hand over the money problem until the people in charge do that.
The Hollidaysburg Area School District, as well as districts across the state, are in deep financial trouble for a number of reasons dating back to well before the 2001 legislative debacle in which lawmakers gave themselves a 50 percent pension increase and followed that with a 25 percent pension increase for teachers.
"Credit" for the unconscionable pension action, which has become a financial albatross for Keystone State school systems, rests with former Gov. Tom Ridge and former powerful state lawmakers such as Blair County's Robert C. Jubelirer, all of whom should have had the foresight to anticipate the fiscal train wreck that would ensue if the economy soured.
And it has.
Look back to 1970, when the state's public employees bargaining law was passed. It was a time when teachers were underpaid.
The law rectified that situation, but it "accomplished" more than what most people envisioned.
It cemented teachers' expectations for wage increases greatly exceeding inflation, and at the same time teachers rejected paying anything, or more than a little, for their health care coverage.
Many school boards have not been upfront with taxpayers - Hollidaysburg among them - regarding the actual money involved.
Anytime a contract is approved, school boards should do more than report the percentage or dollar amount of wage increases granted. They should report what the raises cost the district in total, factoring in health care costs as well.
School boards, however, seldom disclose the total yearly cost of the taxpayers providing basically free health care to employees - while many of the taxpayers are paying much more for their own coverage.
At the same time, Hollidaysburg is being penalized by Harrisburg's misperception that it is rich.
Likewise, in order to attract new businesses, Hollidaysburg must join others in offering potential new enterprises huge property tax breaks that deprive the schools of revenue.
If the Hollidaysburg board merits criticism, it's not for not raising taxes. It's for not fighting hard enough against the root causes of the money problems.

Halloween is fast approaching and there are lots of things to do and buy before the big day of spooks, candy, and fun. Here are some alternatives to the holiday standards to keep your family green and save you money.
Every year purchasing a new costume, especially for children, can be very expensive. With a standard price of $40 per costume, this can add up quickly for a family, and to make it worse, the costume can only be used once since it will be a whole year before the next holiday. Instead get together with your friends and exchange costumes with them. Or look for items around the house and make a costume. Finally, purchase or make one item that can be used many times over like a good set of wings for girls or a play sword set for boys.
Trick-or-treating is the best part for kids on Halloween. There are green options for making sure kids have something to carry all their treats. One tip is to make a bag out of an old pillow case or teeshirt. You can also use a basket or other container found around the house and decorate it. Finally, a lot of stores have holiday themed green bags that you could purchase and then use year around.
The halloween party can be one of the least green parts of Halloween, but it doesn't have to be. Get creative in your decorations and only purchase things you can use year after year. Purchase reusable tumblers for drinks that you can wash and store away with the rest of your decorations. Create games like bobbing for apples that do not require any extra waste. Finally, stick with finger food that is spread out so guests do not require plates for their snacks; less cleanup and more environmentally friendly.
These are just a few quick tips to allow your Halloween to stay spooky while staying green. For more tips on staying green this Halloween, check out these other great articles:

By Courtney Garcia, theGrio.com (Article originally published on theGrio.com.)
Snoop Dogg has officially been "reincarnated."
From gangsterdom to Rastafarianism, the West Coast rap icon, now going as Snoop Lion, has shifted from the grim realities of hip hop to the positive vibrations of reggae with his new album and documentary film, "Reincarnated."
His passion for the ganja, of course, remains the same.
"The biggest intent with this project is just to have a record that I'll be able to perform everywhere," Snoop Lion tells theGrio at a listening session for his album in Los Angeles. "Right now, I have a record that I can perform at the Essence Awards, at the White House possibly, any stage around the world I can do these songs. I can go to elementary schools and do some of these songs off this record. I've always wanted to have songs that the kids can sing."
As further motivation, Snoop recalls his visits to elementary schools when children would approach him saying things like they enjoyed his movie with Wiz Khalifa.
"I'm like, 'Man, whatchu doing watching that movie?' I didn't have anything for them, but they still with me. Young and wild and free. I gotta give them something that they can really stand on and sing," he explains.
Conceptually, the project has been looming in Snoop Lion's mind for years, but it was violence in the nation and a rejuvenating trip to Jamaica that pushed him forward to this moment. His documentary, "Reincarnated," out March 15, details the story of the 41-year-old's change in idealism and creative direction, and he will follow that with his debut reggae album, due in April.
To be clear though, it's an alter ego, not a conversion.
"I'm 100 percent Snoop Dogg; 100 percent Snoop Lion," he says. "It's like Clark Kent and Super Man."
In his film, the Doggfather journeys to Kingston to study the foundations of his newly-inherited culture, smoke weed with the locals, and record his album at the Marley family's Tuff Gong Studios. He brings along his producing team, Major Lazer, as well as a few friends and songwriters to assist in the development of the work. With the album, Snoop says he strives to "use my voice for the right reasons" by setting aside the violence he has often glamorized, and replacing it with inspirational, motivation-driven content.
"I was always bothered by all the school shootings and unnecessary violence by guns," he explains. "I just always wanted to say something about it, but I never could really figure it out in rap. Like how? How does a gangster tell you not to pack your heat? So, it would never work in rap world, but as far as with this reggae thing, it's just so perfect and so appropriate. More and more was happening while we was doing the project…We might as well address it right now because it's actually happening at an all time high, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop until somebody says something."
Snoop Lion delves into his time as a rap artist throughout the film, specifically his rise from the streets, work with Dr. Dre, and the passing of friends Tupac Shakur and Nate Dogg. The artist's voyage to Jamaica serves to both understand moments of his past, and support the growth of his new alias. Accordingly, he spends time hanging with the Marleys, ventures into Trench Town, speaks to disadvantaged youth, hikes in search of marijuana, and stops by Bunny Wailer's home to be educated on reggae.
Wailer appeared highly supportive of Snoop Lion's new venture in the movie, even recording vocals on "Reincarnated." This January however, he changed his tune, claiming both the album and documentary were a "fraudulent use of the Rastafari Community's personalities and symbolism," and threatening legal action against the star. Bob Marley's son Rohan defended Snoop from Wailer's assertions, yet Snoop refuses to entertain the issue.
"I didn't hear him physically say that, so I can't believe it's so," Snoop remarks. "I just keep on pushing out positive energy, and say I love Bunny Wailer. I don't believe it until I hear it from him personally."
Furthermore, Snoop insists that from the beginning, he hasn't been worried about public acceptance of his new image.
"I wasn't really trippin' off what people were going to say," he comments. "I was so confident with the producers and the writers and the attitude going into the record. So, once it started to come back to me and I started to hear it and hear my vocals, I got more and more confident. Now, as I'm starting to hear the mastered mixes, I mean I know it's a success. I just have to be able to pull it off on stage."
The album blends the traditional sound of roots reggae – Snoop's original intentions – with its more modern deviations like dubstep and dancehall. He says the "grooves kept changing" as the trip progressed, and a lot of the work was created "on the fly," but he enjoyed the process as it was a challenge. It forced him to sing while rap music had become "like riding a bike." Featured artists include Drake, Chris Brown, Rita Ora, and Akon.
Along with his new style, Snoop Lion feels his patience has increased with his adaption of the Rasta spirit. He's adopted a better way of life, hoping to be an expression of love and a more knowledgeable source about the world. Furthermore, he aims to take better care of himself through his words and actions, and by emoting a sense of positive energy.
Die-hard Snoop Dogg fans need not worry however, as the rapper will be back in action soon enough. Even when he's performing as Snoop Lion, he says he will include some reggae rendition of "Gin and Juice" to give the people what they want. Not that he's not worried about his fans appreciating his new look anyway, rather he knows they will never lose interest.
"No matter what it is – what the moniker is – they appreciate what Snoop brings to the table," he comments. "So, I never worry about the few people who may have something to say. I know with this album, I put a picture up on Instagram of a lion; somebody might have said something like you know, 'Where's the old Snoop Dogg?' And I don't pay no attention to that because somebody always answers real quick, you know, 'F*** you.' Soon as somebody say something, there's always somebody there to get my back."
He adds, "It's an awesome journey for people to be able to roll with me and see exactly what I've been through. Not to turn away from Snoop Dogg, but as you see, when you've been doing it for 20 years, and you the s*** for 21 years, I gotta let these other things in."

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
I bought this for a ballroom dance preformance and it was SO pretty and perfect! It fits very well, nice and sheer to the hips but also has pretty gathers and flairs out very nicely for spins! We did everything from waltz, foxtrot, single swing and west coast. It stayed in place and looked good as well! I did buy some black spanks to go underneath because the butt was a little see-through. It is definitely worth the money! For reference I bought a small and I am 5'8" and 138lbs.
Age: 30-39
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
I adore this skirt! It flows beautifully during a Tango! Fits well. Not sure about durability. I have only worn it twice. But it is so gorgeous I would be another even it wears out quickly. Also bought the boatneck black top to go with it. Fabulous outfit! Wear it with red shoes. Awesome!
I bought this skirt for an upcoming ballroom dance competition, and LOVE it. The material is soft and comfortable, but also strong and very durable. The skirt moves extremely well, and fits just as I expected it to!

c++ Binomial
I have a problem in solving these C++ Program.
The binomial expression can be expanded as follows
If n=2 a2+2ab+b2
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
The coefficients will be gotten using the combination ncm and its refered to as the pascal triangle
Such that if n=4 then;
4c0 4!/(4-0)!0!=1
4c1 4!/(4-1)!1!=4
4c2 4!/(4-2)!2!=6
1. write a function to compute the combinations
2. implement it in c++ program to output the pascal triangle for a number n.
