Kathy Corff Rogers, a certified group fitness instructor at the Jewish Community Center, encourages everyone who exercises to keep workouts safe and pay attention to good form.
She also insists that age is no barrier.
"Even if you start when you're 70, it's going to be a benefit," Rogers said. "Getting into Silver Sneakers or any type of yoga or low-impact aerobics is going to help with everything from your mood to your longevity to your fitness."
Rogers teaches Silver Sneakers exercises classes for seniors twice a week at the JCC Holland Family Building on Delaware Avenue, as well as classes entitled Cardio, Sweat and Sculpt, and Tighten Up, Stretch it Out.
Below is her home workout plan, along with other exercise tips.
Multitasking at home
"Warm up your body by vacuuming, sweeping, making beds, carrying laundry up and down stairs for about 5 to 10 minutes," recommended Rogers, who has led fitness classes at the JCC for 28 years. "This way your conscience is clear knowing you've completed something on your list.
"Find a space, turn on the music that energizes you and begin to march or jog lightly in place. Make sure you keep breathing – in through your nose, out through your mouth."
Her routine:
16 counts each of the three following aerobic combos:
• March and lift your knees with arm curls
• Front kicks with arms up to the ceiling
• Stand tall and lift knee to meet opposite elbow
• 20-30 squats: Widen your stance, turn toes and knees out, tuck your pelvis slightly. Sit back so your knees do not go over your toes. Keep the knees bent slightly, even when you push the feet into the floor and squeeze the glutes on the way up.
• Repeat another 32 counts of march or jog and 16 counts of three aerobic combos.
• Work the arms: Grab soup cans or a pair of 3- to 5-pound free weights for bicep curls, tricep kick backs, upright rows, overhead pull downs, side-to-side using core and obliques.
• Core work on the floor: Basic curls and crunches, planks – if you've been trained in proper alignment.
Stress reliever:
Take time for yourself during the holidays. Put in earbuds – a helpful way to tune out household noise – and listen to your favorite music or sounds and breeeaaathe; focus on equal counts of in and out breaths. Relax your neck and shoulders while sitting tall. Get away from the rest of the household and just sit. Even 10 minutes will refresh you.
And work out in sneakers on a wood or tile floor. "Carpeting is the worse thing in the world if you're doing aerobics," Rogers said. "If you're standing still and doing weights and stretching that's fine, but if you have to move from side to side, sneakers catch."
Other exercise tips:
• Warm up your muscles and the blood in your body before stretching. This holds true for runners, as well. Walk, jog, run for 5 to 10 minutes, then do your stretches. Aerobics and Fitness Association of America now recommends stretching after group fitness cardio aerobic routines.
• Most important, throughout workouts, keep those core muscles engaged. Pull the belly toward your spine. Learn how to breathe and keep your shoulders relaxed. Practice.
• Keep your chin off your chest when doing abdominal exercises.
• During any workout, with or without weights, use your muscles "mindfully." Think about the action, think pull and push as the muscles work. Remember, you are in control of your arms and legs. Make them move with purpose while keeping your core tight and strong.
• Throughout your exercise routine, keep your shoulders down and away from your ears. Avoid "scrunching" your neck and shoulders together. Elongate your neck, keep the top of your head toward the sky, and keep your chin parallel to the ground and very, very slightly tucked.
• Keep your shoulders wide by using your collarbones, not the shoulder blades, pulling toward your spine. Try to relax your back muscles and think "wide" across your chest.
• Learn to tilt your pelvis very slightly to eliminate any overarching of your back – just enough to maintain a "neutral" position with your spine.
• As you keep all these tips in mind, also think about unlocking your knees and elbows. Keep them in a "soft" (slightly bent) position when using weights or doing squats. Avoid stress to your joints whenever possible.
• Make sure the back of the hand aligns with your arm when using free weights. Do not tilt the wrist. • If you feel the need to stretch your neck, only roll your neck to the side and the front, never to the back, which will compress the nerves in the spine.
• Flex your foot and lean forward to stretch hamstrings.
• Stand up and reach behind to hold on to your ankle, bring it toward your glutes to stretch quads.
• Roll your shoulders to the back.
• Reach up to ceiling and stretch with nice, deep breaths.
• On the floor, on your back, reach your arms above your head along the floor and stretch your legs with flexed feet.
• Hug your knees to chest and stretch with your arms under the knees.
• Roll ankles each direction, then point, flex feet.
• Widen arms along the floor, knees to chest, roll hips side to side.
• Stretch out the body once again and rest for one minute – quietly!
• Bring your body up to squat position, roll up half way.
• Hold onto your elbows, hang for hamstring stretch.
• Bend knees and roll all the way up.
• Roll your shoulders backward.
• Take deep breaths in through your nose, out through your mouth.
When you walk in to that holiday party, top of the head is to the ceiling, shoulders are down away from your ears, collarbones open the shoulders, core muscles are pulling in tight – and you are able to breathe and hold a conversation. You now own the room.

Nick Clegg has for the first time marked the coalition finishing line. Liberal Democrats will limit their co-operation on future spending plans with the Conservatives to a single year, the bare minimum, it emerged yesterday.
The decision, disclosed by David Laws in a Times interview, gives Mr Clegg a free hand to chart a different economic course from George Osborne into the next parliament and possibly to ease up on austerity.
The news will cheer Liberal Democrats as they gather in Brighton for their annual conference today and is likely to relieve some of the pressure on Mr Clegg from

BLAH!!!! Don't bother.
I started making this with the orange date pot roast from the same section of the April 2007 Bon Appetit but it's so good I often make it on its own. I do leave off the cilantro.
I ignored reviews from other users about how bland this dish is and were they ever proven right! I did not have pecans on hand as had been recommended by others, I just stuck to the recipe as written, and it was incredibly dull. Not bad, just dull.
I thought this was incredibly bland.
This is good food. Not a dish that wowed me especially though. It's more of a basic, solid addition to the range of quinoa dishes you might come back to.
I made the recipe as written for a family gathering of 10 and everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. The small dice of carrots and zucchini, sauted until just cooked were not lost in the dish and had great flavor from the sweet Hungarian paprika, cinnamon and currents. I did make it in advance and then chill it, baked with foil cover and then re-fluffed it. That may have blended the flavors better. I served it with skin-on boneless chicken breasts marinated with the "Only marinade you will ever need" Epicurious recipe and fresh bread. We'll make this again for sure.
quinoa is a staple in Ecuador, my family's origin, hence to those who say it's bitter, you must not only rinse quinoa well, but scrub it in your hands while rinsing. If its bitter, it was not washed well enough.
ok, after reading other reviews and NEVER liking quinoa, I did the following and it was fantastic: cut the quinoa to 1 cup and used 2 1/2 cups water. Sauteed the carrots and zucchini, which were small diced, until golden. Used SMOKED paprika, not sweet, and SAIGON cinnamon. Finished with the toasted pecans that were then chopped (great suggestion from a previous reviewer) and used Italian flat leaf parsley, not cilantro. You must, without question, rinse the quinoa well prior to use, no exceptions. This is excellent cold as well as a light lunch.
took this to first night sedar and everyone loved it. It is not spicy as much as very flavorful and kept in the oven during the first part of the dinner well. I believe this would be fabulous with other combinations of vegetables or more vegetables but is wonderful the way it is.
Did not like this dish. The vegetables got lost next to the quinoa. We also say quinoa is too bitter for our tastes. Will not make it again.

A use for Surface table, Dungeons & Dragons
This is like a DM's craziest dream right? I've come in contact with a Microsoft Surface table once in Seattle during PAX. For those who haven't, it's a table with an interactive surface that can be used via touch. It can show pictures from a device placed on it, display data, and can be used for games. But I didn't even think of this usage which seems the most practical! The Surfacescapes team at the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University came up with a real Dungeons & Dragons demo. This is a tech work in progress but this is pretty cool to see. The video shows character registration, dm scene setup, and the interactive world map. While this mode is probably way more expensive than most DMs can afford, the breakdown and ease in the menu system may be what Dungeons & Dragons needs to bring in newRead more →

Donizetti on Dynamic DVD
Dynamic now offers most of its product in CD and DVD formats, the latter in High Definition, no less.
Edouard Lalo (1823-92) is best known today for his instrumental works: the Symphonie espagnole (which is, despite the title, a five-movement violin concerto), the Symphony in G Minor, and perhaps some movements from his ballet Namouna, a scintillating work that the young Debussy adored.
Two new recordings from highly acclaimed specialists Opera Rara - Gounod La Colombe and Donizetti Le Duc d'Albe.
It is not often that a major work by a forgotten composer gets rediscovered and makes an enormously favorable impression on today's listeners. That has happened, unexpectedly, with Herculanum, a four-act grand opera by Félicien David, which in 2014 was recorded for the first time.
This recording, made in the Adrian Boult Hall at the Birmingham Conservatoire of Music in June 2014, is the fourth disc in SOMM's series of recordings with Paul Spicer and the Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir.
Félicien David's intriguing Le désert, for vocal and orchestral forces plus narrator, was widely performed in its own day, then disappeared from the performing repertory for nearly a century.
This well-packed disc is a delight and a revelation. Until now, even the most assiduous record collector had access to only a few of the nearly 100 songs published by Félicien David (1810-76), in recordings by such notable artists as Huguette Tourangeau, Ursula Mayer-Reinach, Udo Reinemann, and Joan Sutherland (the last-mentioned singing the duet "Les Hirondelles" with herself!).
This new release of John Taverner's virtuosic and florid Missa Corona spinea (produced by Gimell Records) comes two years after The Tallis Scholars' critically esteemed recording of the composer's Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas, which topped the UK Specialist Classical Album Chart for 6 weeks, and with which the ensemble celebrated their 40th anniversary. The recording also includes Taverner's two settings of Dum transisset Sabbatum.
Sounds swirl with an urgent emotionality and meandering virtuosity on Jonas Kaufmann's new Puccini album—the "real one", according to Kaufmann, whose works were also released earlier this year on Decca records, allegedly without his approval.
Marion Cotillard and Marc Soustrot bring the drama to the sweeping score of Arthur Honegger's Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher, an adaptation of the Trial of Joan of Arc
Stephen Paulus provided the musical world, and particularly the choral world, with music both provocative and pleasing through a combination of lyricism and a modern-Romantic tonal palette.
Richard Taruskin entitled his 1988 polemical critique of the notion of 'authenticity' in the context of historically informed performance, 'The Pastness of the Present and the Presence of the Past'.
As the editor of Opera magazine, John Allison, notes in his editorial in the June issue, Donizetti fans are currently spoilt for choice, enjoying a 'Donizetti revival' with productions of several of the composer's lesser known works cropping up in houses around the world.
Philippe Jaroussky lends poetry and poise to the sounds of nineteenth- and twentieth-century France
Carolyn Sampson has long avoided the harsh glare of stardom but become a favourite singer for "those in the know" — and if you are not one of those it is about time you were.
This Winterreise is the final instalment of Matthias Goerne's series of Schubert lieder for Harmonia Mundi and it brings the Matthias Goerne Schubert Edition, begun in 2008, to a dark, harrowing close.
This elegant, smartly-paced film turns Gluck's Orfeo into a Dostoevskian study of a guilt-wracked misanthrope, portrayed by American countertenor Bejun Mehta.
We see the characters first in two boxes at an opera house. The five singers share a box and stare at the stage. But Konstanze's eye is caught by a man in a box opposite: Bassa Selim (actor Tobias Moretti), who stares steadily at her and broods in voiceover at having lost her, his inspiration.
Richard Strauss may be most closely associated with the soprano voice but this recording of a selection of the composer's lieder by baritone Thomas Hampson is a welcome reminder that the rapt lyricism of Strauss's settings can be rendered with equal beauty and character by the low male voice.
Bernarda Fink's recording of Gustav Mahler's Lieder is an important new release that includes outstanding performances of the composer's well-known songs, along with compelling readings of some less-familiar ones.
Das Rheingold launches what is perhaps the single most ambitious project in opera, Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen.
Dynamic now offers most of its product in CD and DVD formats, the latter in High Definition, no less.
The label has always done well by bel canto operas, especially rarities. When the company ventures into the standard repertory, they put themselves up against the work of the world's major opera houses. Sadly, their Lucia di Lammermoor doesn't offer much competition to other versions of the opera on the market. But the Anna Bolena is another matter; though not attractively designed, the staging doesn't interfere with an impassioned performance of the opera, a smash in its today but seldom performed of late.
Both productions were filmed at the Teatro Donizetti di Bologna in October, 2006. Francesca Espositio directed and designed the costumes for both, with Italo Grassi in charge of the sets. Esposiito's costumes are rich and traditional for both operas, though the Lucia males could use more variety - the tartan "shawl" thrown over the shoulders of the leads and chorus makes a monotonous picture. Grassi's sets contrast with the familiar costumes by being stark. Most of Anna Bolena plays out in front of unadorned bleachers, with the odd touch of an oversized suit of armor, which looks like a miniature airplane hangar when lying flat. For Lucia, Grassi's use of huge blow-ups of the plot's letters and wedding contracts carries some dramatic weight, but the mad scene is woefully understaged. Désirée Rancatore , the Lucia, appears at the top of a roll-on white staircase, as from some cheap TV variety show. Instead of blood, she wears over her white nightgown a lengthy crimson robe. Apparently the budget didn't stretch to giving the Edgardo his own setting; he sings the opera's final scenes against that same staircase.
The cast simply doesn't possess either the charisma or vocal authority to make this Lucia special. Rancatore sings decently, with clean attack and some color. The lack of glaring flaws doesn't compensate much for the lack of individual phrasing or characterization. The audience roars for the Edgardo, Roberto DeBiasio, at the final curtain. A relatively slight man (for a tenor), he resembles a better-looking relative of the actor William Dafoe . He cuts a credibly romantic figure as Edgardo, vocally as well as visually. The audience's enthusiasm seems excessive, nevertheless. Luca Grassi, the Enrico, has a thin, haunted look (and and De Biasio slightly resemble each other). The voice is substantial enough, but his acting tends to the unsubtle. Conductor Fogliani gets, perhaps unsurprisingly, an idiomatic performance from the Bergamo Musica Festival Gaetano Donizetti forces.
Fabrizio Maria Carminati conducts the same musicians for the Anna Bolena, which spreads over two discs. In the title role, Dimitra Theodossiou furthers her growing reputation with a fierce, technically secure performance. She is not a natural actress, and she looks a bit dowdy. But that works dramatically, as Anna realizes she is being replaced in the affections of Henry (or, Enrico) by Jane Seymour, a beautifully dressed Sofia Soloviy . The opera's first act plays like exposition for the dramatic second act, when Anna realizes she must die to allow her husband to marry his new love. Riccardo Zanellato as Enrico has no opportunity to demonstrate the royal charisma; he's more the villain of the piece. Tenor Gian Luca Pasolini doesn't cut the dashing figure of the tenor in the Lucia, but his voice is much more appealing - a highly placed, very secure sound.
For lovers of bel canto, this Anna Bolena should be an enjoyable addition to any collection. The Lucia? Not so much.

Co-diversification of Plants and Insects -
Perhaps the most striking evolutionary pattern is the extraordinary diversity of life, and the remarkable predominance of a few groups of organisms. With over 250,000 described species, the angiosperms, although geologically young, comprise approximately 20% of all living organisms. The insects are even more diverse, with at least a million described species. A frequently advanced hypothesis to explain the extraordinary diversity of these two groups is that interactions between plants and insects, such as herbivory and pollination, have promoted adaptive radiations in each group. Our lab uses phylogenetic, ecological, and population genetic tools to test this hypothesis on a variety of scales in diverse plant and insect groups.
Pollination Biology of Joshua Trees -
A major research focus in our lab is on the pollination biology of yuccas, and in particular that of the Joshua tree
(Yucca brevifolia).
Like all yuccas, Joshua trees are pollinated exclusively by yucca moths, that in turn reproduce by laying their eggs in the yucca flower. Across their range, Joshua trees are associated with two distinct, sister species of moth, and populations of trees associated with each moth are both morphologically and genetically distinct. Our lab is examining the role of coevolution between the Joshua tree and its pollinators in producing the differences between the two tree types, and in mediating reproductive isolation between them. We use a variety of tools and approaches to address these questions, from observational studies and ecological experiments, to phylogenetics and population genomics. We are currently developing transcriptome data and SNP libraries for the trees and their pollinators. These tools will eventually allow us to quantify genomic signatures of selection acting on genes associated with co-adaptation between plants and pollinators.
Conservation Genetics -
Population genetic tools offer many opportunities to answer important questions in conservation biology. Our lab is currently engaged in a number of conservation genetics projects, including determining the species status of the Asian Great Bustard, reconstructing the introduction and spread of the invasive eastern grey squirrel in the Pacific Northwest, and the effects of climate change on population growth in Joshua trees.

Montreal Protocol OWEG 34 Addresses HFCs, MLF Replenishment
21 July 2014: Delegates at the 34th meeting of the Open-ended Working Group (OEWG 34) of the parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer considered: a progress report of the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP); organizational issues related to the TEAP; the report of the TEAP on 2015-2017 Multilateral Fund (MLF) replenishment; nominations for essential-use exemptions and critical-use exemptions; alternatives to ozone depleting substances (ODS); the outcomes of the workshop on hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) management; and a proposal for extending an exemption for laboratory and analytical uses.
OEWG 34 also considered two proposals to amend the Montreal Protocol in relation to HFCs: the first by the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and Morocco; and the second by the US, Canada and Mexico.
During the meeting, delegates mostly focused their discussions on: the amendment proposals, where clear divisions among parties resulted in little progress; the 2015-2017 MLF replenishment, where agreement was reached indicating that guidance for additional analysis on the MLF replenishment could be forwarded to the TEAP, with the final report to be considered at the 26th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol (MOP 26) in November; and the outcomes of the HFC management workshop held immediately before the meeting.
OEWG 34 convened in Paris, France, from 14-18 July, with attendance of over 350 delegates representing governments, UN agencies, Montreal Protocol expert panels and committees, NGOs and industry. [IISD RS Coverage of OEWG 34] [OEWG 34 Website]

Got another tip but this is not until late september....
(Original post by turn_the_page_day_by_day)
Whats happening late september out of curiousity?
say what?
yeah i'm not going to invest in PXS either, it would have been different earlier but I want to keep my money in the other shares at the moment.

PXS at 11p now
(Original post by PrincePauper)
well done for listening to me. I think you just made about 30%
nice, pxs seemed like a good buy. If only i read this thread yesterday!
I will do some research into it tonight and i'll see whether it's still worth investing
well done guys on PXS just had a massive rise. May hit 15p tomorrow.
I'm just gona keep my eggs in GKP now, hope for good news and maybe this time next year it'll be worth £5
(Original post by TheLouisVuittonDon)
how much have you made off it?
Not bad for a days work
(Original post by PrincePauper)
well done for listening to me. I think you just made about 30%
(Original post by Milch)
12.75p now yep 30% Thanks! There's still more to come though isn't there?
(Original post by Milch)
12.75p now yep 30% Thanks! There's still more to come though isn't there?
MINIMUM tomorrow is 15p
nothing guaranteed princepauper but i also see this at 15p close tomorrow. i think they're holding some news which is coming tomorrow or early next week.
in terms of GKP today buys have outweighed sells again, same as yesterday yet the SP has remained 78-82p. Now that the MM's have secured more shares the SP should rise next week to 95p-100p. Drilling is further along that they are letting on as they predicted 4-5months to completion from april. RNS is coming any day on this one which could take it to anything over £1.50.
Obviously just my opinion from research.
(Original post by PrincePauper)
Yes, much more. buys at 13p are still going through as we speak now.
MINIMUM tomorrow is 15p
Just waiting for my letter from iii to confirm my share dealing account with them. Didn't realise (perhaps naively) it was going to be a long process of waiting for confirmation letters etc.
Trouble is, I'm going away early next week for a for weeks so some of these day deals aren't exactly ideal. Would it be a good idea to make some blue chip investments for now and look into the more volatile shares that are being talked about here once im back from travels and am able to be more committed to checking these things out?
(Original post by TheLouisVuittonDon)
Hmm what makes you say that? I may get out of ENK whilst i have made a bit if there is a possibility of more money from them.
(Original post by PrincePauper)
We have an AGM on the 10th of september and an RNS can come any time before that date, possibly even tomorrow. Bank holiday on monday so I reckon people will like to get in (today) and tomorrow so they wont miss out on the possible RNS coming out on tuesday. Its got to be a + day tomorrow, not many will be stupid to sell while the news about to come out is soo big
i'm reading about them now, think my money will go in to them.
do you know where i can see the trades for a share? like the buy/sell orders?
you can check buys/sells on iii

UN/ISDR Resilience Campaign Launches in Kuwait
4 October 2010: The UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) has announced the launch of its "Making Cities Resilient: My City is Getting Ready" campaign, in the Arab region, at the General Assembly meeting of the Arab Towns Organization.
The aim of the campaign is to enlist over 1,000 local government leaders to invest more in disaster risk reduction (DRR), including: improving urban planning, infrastructure and building safety; reinforcing drainage systems to reduce flood, storm and health threats; installing early warning systems; conducting public preparedness drills; and taking measures to adapt to the increasing impacts of climate change. In the Arab region, several cities have experienced serious floods and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts that many more Arab cities will be exposed to future disasters due to increasing unsafe urban settlements and climate change impacts.

'Doing Harm' a page-turner
"Doing Harm"
By Kelly Parsons
St. Martin's Press; 368 pages; $26
Kelly Parsons' highly entertaining debut delves deep into the ethics and competitiveness of the medical profession while exploring why doctors choose their careers.
"Doing Harm" starts strong and never loses its momentum throughout the energetic plot infused with an intriguing look at modern medicine without being overwhelmed by the intricacies of the profession.
"Doing Harm" also will scare anyone who has to go to the hospital.
Steve Mitchell, the chief surgical resident at a top Boston teaching hospital, believes that he is on the right track with his career and personal life.
Yes, he's a bit arrogant about his skills but that serves him well in the competitive medical profession and with his egotistic colleagues. He also loves his wife and is excited that they are expecting their third child.
But then Steve is blamed when a patient under his care dies. Trying to figure out what he did wrong, he stumbles on the chilling realization that a murderer is targeting patients hospitalized for routine surgery.
Parsons keeps the action chillingly realistic while also showing the different personalities who choose the medical field.
Parsons, a urologist who works in San Diego, doesn't break new ground in "Doing Harm," and resorts to a couple of twists that don't ring true.
Still, Parsons' skillful plotting and knack for characters makes "Doing Harm" a gripping medical thriller.

Working as a Spanish correspondent for Monocle magazine, Liam is always on the look out for the latest shops, restaurants or bars that pop up in Madrid. Liam Aldous, an Australian-born journalist in his thirties, is also a social and cultural trends hunter. He loves the friendly and welcoming vibe in Madrid and we couldn't think of anyone better to explore the city with.
I moved back to Madrid four years ago, but I used to live here about 8 or 9 years ago. I came to learn Spanish. I was meant to stay for six months and ended up staying for a year and a half. I just had this urge to come back to Madrid. I missed the people and the spirit of the city. So I came back in 2011 with an internship at Monocle magazine.
The friendliness of the people. I am from Australia, a country where people are known to be quite relaxed and friendly, but in Madrid I just found that everyone is itching to start a conversation with each other. To this day, people still say hello and goodbye getting in and out of elevators, which I still think is quite cute actually. In a big city like Madrid, that can be quite frenetic and overwhelming, it helps the city function from one day to the next.
I think it's the fact that no one or almost no one is really from Madrid, so everyone that lives here welcomes in anbody, no matter what they look like or where are they from. Maybe it's because there are only a few 'gatos',what they called the third generation 'madrileño'. I think that helps you to integrate. You can live here for a couple of months and call yourself a 'madrileño', even if you are not Spanish, and people don't really have a problem with that. Besides, although Madrid is the third biggest city in Europe, it's still like a small village.
Q. You wrote in Monocle in 2014: "Madrid is in the grip of a long-form metamorphosis". Has the city changed since you came?
If I look back to 2005 or 2006, when I was first here, the city has changed completely. The crisis made people stop and think and try new things. A lot of people that couldn't find work just decided to open a business and to make things that they loved. I think you can live and breathe that spirit as you walk around the city.
For instance, Kike Keller, the co-owner of the place we are now, had worked for the film industry before he opened this amazing studio to sell the furniture he designs. It's also a gallery and a bar. There are so many of these places around the city. It's been a creative explosion of energy.
I'm living in a district called Conde Duque. It's in the centre of the city but it's quite quiet, with a lot of nice shops, bars, cafes and vibrant plazas. I hang out a lot in my district but also in Malasaña. I also really like Las Letras, which is where I used to live. I go to Lavapiés when I can because it's also constantly changing.
People are surprised when they see that the restaurants and terraces are full. I just say to them that the Spanish really like to enjoy life when they have the opportunity. I mean, it doesn't mean they don't have problems getting a higher salary or finding a job, but it's a hot spot for opportunities.
I usually like to take them to places that really show off the personality of the city. If I'm taking them for something to eat, I'll go to a 'tasca' called Celso y Manolo, which is traditional simple Spanish food done well in a very authentic space. I also love a restaurant called Sala de Despiece, which is a bit flashier but also serves pure Spanish cuisine. If I want them to experience the eccentric character of the 'madrileños' I take them to a theater called the Microteatro. It is an amazing space, built inside an old butcher's.
You have to see the Prado and the Reina Sofia Museums, but there are also good exhibitions at the CentroCentro. The Matadero is also a must see. There's this beautiful little cinema called Cine Doré, which is the Filmoteca of Spain and amazingly preserved. You must also visit the foodmarkets. Everyone who comes here goes to San Miguel, but I like to take them to markets like San Anton or Anton Martin. Places like Platea or San Ildefonso are also really authentic food experiences.
I actually prefer to go to small authentic Spanish eateries where you can get really traditional well-made tapas without too much fuss. I prefer to take people to those places because you can't find them anywhere else.
What I like about Madrid is that every district has a very distinct personality. I also love that castizo traditional Spanish personality that you find in Chamberi or in Barrio de Salamanca.
Definitely. Actually it's one of the cities in Europe with the most shops. The diversity of shops has really expanded in the last few years as well. You've got a lot of little jewellery, leatherwork or shoe brands that have just appeared in the last few years. A lot of shops, like Andrés Gallardo or Helena Rohner, have showrooms in districts from La Latina to Conde Duque to near Tirso de Molina. In Barrio Salamanca there is a beautiful men's tailor-made shoe brand called Glent.
I would say maybe a little bit bipolar, eccentric on one side and conservative on the other, but you have a lot of the inbetween too. Madrid is very carefree, excentric, friendly. It's a lot of things, actually.
I think the city is on the verge of a new movida. There's a lot of creative energy here. Maybe Madrid is the new Berlin. It's creative, cheap, there are a lot of things happening and it's the second sunniest capital in Europe. I think people should come to Madrid if they are looking for a good lifestyle but also to start a new business. They'll find a city that is very welcoming and with a lot of opportunities. That's how I'd describe Madrid.

He leads the conference in scoring at 19.8 points per game, and has scored 20 or more points in six conference games this season.
He has been the catalyst as the Golden Bears have won five of their last six games and three in a row, with victories over the top three teams in the conference during that stretch, averaging 17.3 points on 48.8 percent shooting with 6.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists.
He has delivered impact plays, including high-energy dunks, critical defensive stops, and his second-half eruption to lead the comeback win over USC last Sunday after being pushed by head coach Mike Montgomery.
The case for Dominic Artis as Pac-12 Player of the Year is his absence. The freshman guard has missed the last seven games with a stress fracture, with all three of Oregon's conference losses in that span.
Without Artis, who is not expected to play at Matt Court on Thursday (6 p.m., ESPN2), the Ducks are committing 16.5 turnovers per game, as opposed to 12.8 with him in the lineup.
Cal (16-9, 8-5 Pac-12) was able to exploit those ball-handling issues in the first meeting at Haas Pavilion less than three weeks ago, turning 22 Oregon turnovers into 25 points in a 58-54 win.
"They had a tough turnover weekend in the Bay Area, for sure," Montgomery said. "I think that was getting used to a new guard."
And while Oregon (21-5, 10-3 Pac-12) seems to have stabilized those issues recently, continued defensive pressure will be important for Cal to secure the season sweep.
The bigger issues might be how Cal responds to the fallout from the shove, which became a national news story and drew unprecedented attention to the team's weekly press conference.
"The team is pretty positive right now," Montgomery said. "They don't seem to have much of an issue with it. I think we trust each other and hopefully we can move on."
Crabbe clearly bristled at the provocative line of questioning, while Montgomery expressed regret that the incident was overshadowing such a critical game for Cal's NCAA tournament and possible Pac-12 title hopes.
"It was blown out of proportion," Crabbe said. "It was just an emotional game. I didn't take anything negative out of the situation."
"There are five games left," Montgomery said. "That's what is important right now."

At the conclusion of their time in Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics, Slovakia managed to secure their best finish since the country separated itself from unified Czechoslovakia.
Despite the fact that there weren't many expectations coming into the tournament, the Slovaks put on quite the show as they reached the semifinals before inevitably falling 3-2 to the present reigning, Canadian gold medalists. Ultimately, they fell once more in the bronze-medal game as the Finnish team pulled off a come-from-behind 5-3 victory courtesy of four unanswered goals in the third and final period pushing Slovakia entirely off the winner's podium.
In 2014, first-time Olympic head coach Vladimir Vujtek will attempt to lead the country to another deep run as their tournament action kicks off on Thursday, February 13th when they take on the feisty United States team.
Forwards: Marian Hossa, Michal Handzus, Tomas Tatar, Marcel Hossa, Tomas Jurco, Tomas Kopecky, Richard Panik, Tomas Marcinko, Michel Miklik, Peter Ölvecky, Milan Bartovic, Tomas Surovy, Tomas Zaborsky, Marian Gaborik (Injured).
Marian Hossa, the Chicago Blackhawks' 35-year-old superstar right-winger, will be forced to carry the majority of the offensive workload for the Slovakian team this year. His 24 goals and 26 assists combine for 50 points in 55 games so far this season. Sporting an outstanding plus-26 rating for the Hawks, Hossa's superb two-way defensive play has gained him a reputation around the world as one of the best in the game.
Unfortunately, Hossa doesn't have much of a supporting cast when it comes to putting pucks in the back of the net. With Columbus Blue Jackets' right wing Marian Gaborik suffering a broken collarbone earlier this season, the three-time 40-goal scorer's lethal production will surely be missed in Sochi. As a result, the Slovaks will be looking towards their experienced veterans as well as youthful first-timers to pick up the slack and have breakout performances.
Players such as Stanley Cup champions Tomas Kopecky and Michal Handzus will need to step up and fill the essential holes in Slovakia's front end. Additionally, inexperienced youngsters such as Tomas Tatar, Tomas Jurco, and even Richard Panik will need to make strong debuts in their first ever cracks at the Olympic Games if the team has any hopes of performing as well as they did last time around.
Defense: Zdeno Chara, Andrej Meszaros, Andrej Sekera, Martin Marincin, Ivan Baranka, Dominik Granak, Michal Sersen, Lubomir Visnovsky (Not released from New York Islanders).
It's no secret that the Slovakian defense revolves around Boston Bruins' 6-foot-9, 255-pound behemoth of a man Zdeno Chara. With his 13 goals and 26 points in 54 games played this NHL campaign, Chara will have to contribute in one way or another on the offensive end. When it comes to his defensive game, there's not many better in the world that play the type of shutdown style he's best known for. However, once an opposing team figures out how to get past Chara, there are not many players behind him to keep the Slovak's door closed.
When the team's roster was originally announced, New York Islanders' defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky was selected to play in Sochi. To his and Slovakia's dismay, Garth Snow, general manager for the Islanders, decided that it was in the team's best interest to not release Visnovsky to compete in international play. Disappointingly, that has left Andrej Meszaros, Andrej Sekera, and Martin Marincin to round out the top-4 on Slovakia's blue line.
Goaltending: Jaroslav Halak, Peter Budaj, Jan Laco.
Taking into consideration both the lack of substantial offensive talent as well as defensive depth that the Slovaks are victims of, their goaltending will have to be at its absolute best when it counts the most.
It's safe to say that the clear-cut starter between the pipes will be St. Louis Blues' net-minder Jaroslav Halak. Halak's 24-8-4 record this season has undoubtedly secured himself as the No. 1 goalie for the Blues going forward. He was a vital component to the 2010 Slovakian squad that took Canada to its limit in Vancouver four year ago. With a 2.41 goals-against-average and a .910 save percentage, the Bratislava native played a massive role in his team's eventual success. He'll have to perform at an even higher level this time around if he is to achieve his goal of taking Slovakia to the gold-medal game.

Anyone think we will see any pistol caliber carbines in the M4 configuration after the AWB expires in a few weeks, by any big name manufacturers? How about an AR in 357 Sig or 40 S&W?

Olympic Arms already makes them. 9mm, 10mm, and .45ACP.
I'd expect them to add collapsable stocks to the options list on 14 Sept.
September 1, 2004, 08:58 AM
Colt also makes a 6450, which is a 16" 9mm with collapsable stock, A1 upper, flash hider that used to be LEO, but now with the AWB ending, will be avail. for the rest of us (I am considering one, or maybe a Oly 9mm built on a Bushy lower).
September 1, 2004, 02:39 PM
I just finished handling my friends RRA 9mm upper and it is nice. The barrel is pushed back more into the receiver and thus even though it may have a 16 inch barrel it was shorter by about 1/2 inch to an inch in stature compared to my 16 inch carbine.
It's finish is very good and overall quality is excellent. Underneath the handguards it is a pencil thin govt profile. Also of note is that since it lacks locking lugs is that when the bolt group slams home the receiver noise is less than a 5.56 ar15. I guess you would say it echos less sound than a rotating bolt.
It weighs a fair deal, and I thought it was a tad heavier than a 5.56 ar15.
Overall I am impressed and it just further spikes my interest in aquiring a 9mm rifle of my own. The quiet bolt group and availability of heavy gran 9mm ammo make me excited at the prospect of SBR ing and suppressing a 9mm AR15 down the road.
September 1, 2004, 05:38 PM
I used to have a post ban OLY 9mm that was pretty sweet with a pair of 32 round modified Sten mags (definatly the way to go with the Oly system).
I've got the Ruger PC-9 now that's rugged and reliable, but with the AWB ending, a collapsable stock Oly 10mm with compensator sounds pretty good!
Be aware that the Oly system is very different than the Colt/RRA system when it comes to pistol caliber uppers.
AR15.com has a good explanation of the two systems.

KALAMAZOO, MI — Other teams tried to make it close over the final two days of voting, but the Kalamazoo Gazette Team of the Week poll was never in doubt.
After gaining a substantial lead behind strong voting early in the week, the Richland Gull Lake girls soccer team ran away with the poll.
When the poll closed at 12 p.m. Friday, the Blue Devils had recorded 644 votes, about 57 percent of the total votes cast.
Despite no other team receiving more than 70 votes Wednesday morning, Otsego boys golf and Kalamazoo Central baseball made a push at the end.
Otsego boys golf finished in second with 218 votes and Kalamazoo Central baseball came in third with 146 votes. A total of 1,128 votes were cast.
As winners of the Team of the Week poll, the Gull Lake girls soccer team will receive the spotlight this upcoming week.
Numerous articles detailing the team and the community will be online at www.mlive.com/kzpreps and in the Kalamazoo Gazette.
Gull Lake returns to action following the spring break vacation against Marshall at 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, April 16. The Blue Devils also play Mattawan on Friday, April 18.
Check back throughout the week for more coverage on Gull Lake's girls soccer team!

Graffiti, broken windows boarded with plywood and a vast empty parking lot greet people as they pass the Church Creek Plaza shopping center on Highway 61 and Old Parsonage Road. It stands as an eyesore along the heavily traveled highway and a blight on the adjacent neighborhoods of Church Creek and Pierpont.
The shopping center, once home to a Piggly Wiggly, has been mostly vacant for a decade. Of the dozen retail spaces, only two are occupied.
Much attention has been given to the closing of the Food Lion on St. Andrews Boulevard. I hope that Charleston County officials and the property owner will also give this neglected and under-utilized space their renewed focus.
Another grocery store may not be the solution. But in respect for the current tenants, improvements and other uses for the property need to be considered.
An appropriate business or organization might do well in a renovated space. Mixed-use apartment and retail spaces may also be an answer.
The over-sized parking lot provides ample room for new construction.
Regardless of the end result, a plan that engages the property owner and neighbors is needed in order to revitalize this neglected space and remove an eyesore from the West Ashley community.

Carb intake seems too high and that you're trying to maintain eating them. Remember the general rule is 50-100 for weight loss and 100-150 for maintenance. Which range do you think you're in?
100 grams creeping up to 120 is really maintenance range and you won't lose much doing that.
The thing with the ranges are is that they are guidelines. You have to find out what works for you. Try decreasing to 50 grams for a week and see what happens.

There is little argument that becoming the President of the United States of America is no small achievement. While many have aspired to become the most powerful leader in the free world, few have succeeded. Within the two centuries of this country's existence, only 44 men have accomplished this feat so far; Barack Obama is one of them.
Obama's journey to the highest office in the land, has all the elements of a Hollywood movie plot. From his childhood to his election to the Senate, to defeating a vastly more experienced opponent and becoming president, Obama seemingly beat all odds. Add that to the fact that he is the first African-American to be elected to the office in U.S. history and you have everything to make a great screenplay. However, without all of the dramatic connotations, Obama's meteoric rise to fame takes on another form.
Let us take another look at the circumstances surrounding the election of Barack Obama.
At the time, America was in the throes of one of the worst economic meltdowns in history and George Bush 2.0 was on his second term in office. The country was embroiled in two wars and the current administration was being lambasted because of its decidedly secretive behavior. The Bush administration had already committed the nation to a perpetual state of conflict dubbed "The War on Terror" with no end in sight. Bush said that America would hunt down and take out those deemed by the U.S. as terrorists wherever they were--even if it meant invading another sovereign nation.
With most of the country still reeling from the 9/11 attacks, many supported this doctrine; not even realizing that Bush had effectively unofficially declared war on the entire world. Thus began the era of secret CIA interrogation camps, kidnapping, torture, and imprisonment of thousands of Muslims throughout the world... all in the name of national security. A fast-sinking economy along with record-high fuel prices, also did nothing to endear Bush or the GOP with the masses. The first decade of the new millennium was truly filled with many discontented souls. Then came election time... enter, Barack "Yes We Can" Obama.
Obama entered the fray squeaky-clean. Not since the the likes of "Honest Abe" Lincoln and George "I Cannot Tell a Lie" Washington, had there been a candidate with as much integrity. Even in this modern age of instant background checks, no one could tarnish Obama's shiny suit of armor. There were no stories of illicit business deals, marital infidelity, or any of the other things the muckrakers always seem to dig up on political figures. Then came the citizenship controversy. If nothing could impeach his perceived integrity, then why not impeach the man altogether?
And now let us move on to the election itself. Here we see Obama at first opposing none other than Hillary, the wife of, Bill "I did not inhale" Clinton for the Dem nomination. Since Mrs. Clinton has no doubt at some point influenced presidential policy due to being a president's wife for eight years, it seemed appropriate that she faced the upstart Obama for the shot at the Oval Office. Of course it also didn't hurt that Clinton had demonstrated her own political savvy by getting herself elected to the Senate. Unfortunately for Clinton and fortunately for Obama, there was a large demographic that apparently was not yet ready to see a woman in a bid for this nation's highest office.
Now let us move across the aisle to the opposition. Here we have Sen. John "A Leader You Can Believe In etc." McCain; experienced statesman, war hero, and self-proclaimed champion of freedom, justice, and the American way. OK well maybe that last part was Superman but anyway, in terms of sheer political experience, McCain was a vastly superior opponent. Then in a move that will likely leave pundits scratching their heads for the next century or so, McCain chooses Sarah "I Was Once A Beauty Queen" Palin as his running mate. Not saying that Palin was a bad person but she may have just had a bit too much drama in her life for the American people to choose as a VP and possible successor to the presidency. It also didn't help matters that Palin's teenaged daughter became pregnant out of wedlock, which was a not-so-conservative thing to do.
Although not trying to take anything away from Obama's solid achievements, we also begin to see there were other things at work which lead to his election. A terrible economy, along with war and other issues pushed voters in the seemingly only logical direction and so, Obama became president.
Nearly four years later, the public seems almost as disillusioned with Obama as they were with Bush 2.0, and in many ways rightfully so. Failed socio-economic policies along with broken promises have led to the disenchantment of many voters.
As with virtually every U.S. president there are those who hate Obama. Some may hate him for his failed policies, others because he is a Democrat. Sadly however, there are those who hate him simply because he is African-American; probably making him the most hated president in the nation's history. And let us not forget the other half of this "dynamic duo", Joe "Put ya'll all back in chains" Biden, whose off the cuff remarks have only served to infuriate large sections of the masses.
Now we fast-forward to the present election. Once again we have the unhappy masses and a damaged economy. One would think this would be the time for the GOP to seize the moment and what do they do? Why nominate Mitt "I Like Special Interests and Big Government" Romney of course. Once again they have engaged in the same self-sabotaging tactics that their party has become known for. Romney's selection of Paul "The Body" Ryan is almost as baffling as McCain's selection in the previous election.
Maybe the GOP secretly wants Obama to win again. Maybe it's part of a long-term strategy by the GOP to let this country sink so far into the ground, that we will never elect another Democrat again. Or, maybe they are as out of touch as the liberals say they are. Whatever the case may be, we may as well prepare for another four years of "Change we can believe in". After all, better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

Charismatic pro wrestling manager Captain Lou Albano died this morning at age 76, according to the Associated Press and the World Wrestling Entertainment Web site.
He began his wrestling career in Canada in 1953 and was inducted into the WWE hall of fame.
Non-wrestling fans may remember that Albano played the the father in Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Want to Have Fun video, which helped launch the Rock 'n Wrestling era in the 1980s.
From mtv.com:
For pro wrestling fans of a certain age, Captain Lou Albano was a larger-than-life figure who helped turn what was once a low-rent, cable-access sport into a pop-culture phenomenon. The World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer died on Wednesday morning (October 14) at the age of 76, according to the WWE and Wrestler's Rescue, an organization that helps raise money for retired wrestlers' health care.
Wrestler's Rescue reported that Albano had been in hospice care earlier this week, but no cause of death has been revealed. …
Along the way, the hefty Albano developed a unique persona — a ranting, hoarse-voiced blowhard who favored Hawaiian shirts and wore a goatee held in place by a rubber band, oddly accented by more rubber bands dangling from his cheek. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1996 and during the 1980s managed some of wrestling's most beloved stars, including Hulk Hogan, "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, the Iron Sheik, Andre the Giant and Greg Valentine.
But it was his legendary decision to mix music and wrestling, launching the so-called "Rock n' Wrestling" era, that helped to bring him worldwide fame while dragging wrestling into the mainstream. Teaming up with then-hot girl singer Cyndi Lauper, Albano appeared in a string of her music videos for such hit songs as "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," "She Bop," "Time After Time" and "The Goonies R' Good Enough." …

Joey is the picture of resilience.
The 3-month-old pit bull was tossed from a moving car in Brentwood, N.Y., on Saturday, and sustained a broken neck, bruised lungs and various abrasions on his body.
The flea-infested and extremely malnourished pup had been in a black plastic trash bag when he was thrown from the vehicle. He was a sore sight when he arrived at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island later that day. It's hard to believe that just a few days following his awful ordeal, Joey is happy.
"His spirits are great," says Dr. Lynda Loudon, who named the dog. "He's wagging his tail, giving kisses and he moved his front legs for the first time today."
Loudon says her clinic has received more than 50 calls about the adorable dog. She suspects that Joey was used as bait for dog fighting, judging by the old scars on his head and neck, and several infected bite wounds. The Suffolk County SPCA is offering a $2,000 reward for information about the incident.
Though the friendly pooch is recovering well, it's possible Joey's front legs could be paralyzed permanently. Luckily, some of the prospective adopters understand his potential needs. "Finding a home won't be a problem if that's the case," Loudon says. "I do think he'll recover. Every day I see improvement."
For now, Joey is resting in a cage filled with toys given to him by the throngs of people who have heard his heartbreaking story, which was first reported by NBC New York. His care is being funded by donations – including one in the amount of $15, the entire contents of a local boy's piggy bank.
On Thursday, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announced that it was offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case. It has also provided the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island a grant of $10,000 to help defray the cost of Joey's treatment and care.

If there was some crime, it was in the mis-handling of the fifth. Picking the count up at two was charitable. So were some of the breaks. On scoring? Eh, I had it 6-6 with Ross winning, but it was a close fight. Not a robbery (though one of the cards was epically bad).

And with all respect to other posters here, but there is just no way Hernandez won this fight. Troy Ross was beating him up and Hernandez couldnt adjust AT ALL and got hurt over and over again. Yes, there are maybe 3 or 4 rounds you can give Hernandez, but not more. So Troy Ross won around 8 rounds plus the knockdown. That makes this a clear robbery for me.
Some guys have to stop saying "dont always throw out the word robbery". But when do you want us to use the word robbery? When a guy clearly wins all 12 rounds and knocks his opponent down 10 times? On the highest level you wont see something like that in Boxing. So you have to just score the rounds and when one guy is ahead on your scorecard by 4 or 5 points, then it can be called a robbery.
That being said: The referee saved Hernandez on numerous occasions when he was hurt and turning his back on Ross. Ref gave him time to recover over and over again. This fight has written robbery all over it

Yeah the 5th was an absolute joke.
Proof of the old adage you have to nail them to the canvas to get a draw in Germany.
Hernandez at that point thought he was a caterpillar in its chrysalis waiting for the day it could feel a warm summer breeze on its face as a butterfly. (I'll stop now)
But over the course of the rest of the fight I didn't score it but there were long stretches were Ross couldn't get into punching range.
