- Practical advice to help you regularly save money and invest
- Find companies you can trust and the best financial products
- Impartial pensions and Isa tips without the financial jargon
- Your one-stop shop for all money matters
With the banking crisis changing by the day, confusion about what exactly has happened and how it will impact customers, savers, borrowers and taxpayers is rife.
To help you decipher exactly what it happening – and how it will affect you and your money – Moneywise TV has filmed a special episode addressing your concerns and queries. You can watch the episode here.
And below, read a selection of queries and our answers. If you have any more then don't hesitate to get in touch.
Q: Ronald Pitt - I have a drip feed ISA account with RBS. Is it safe?
A: You don't say whether your ISA is cash or stocks and shares.
Assuming it is cash, then your money is protected under depositor protection rules.
Like other UK banks, Royal Bank of Scotland is authorised by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and, as such, comes under the protection of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Any money held in an RBS account (including ISAs) is therefore guaranteed up to £50,000. Anything over this amount could potentially be lost if the bank was to collapse.
The FSCS will only issue redress up to £50,000 per customer per bank – therefore, if you have more than £50,000 with the same bank or with two or more banks that share the same FSA authorisation, then again the surplus amount could be at risk. The FSCE defines "bank" as the name the institution is regulated/authorised as.
In the case of Royal Bank of Scotland, it is authorised as RBS. Other institutions that share the same authorisation are: The One Account and Virgin Money.
Other banks in the RBS group of companies include NatWest and Ulster Bank – however, both these firms have their own FSA authorisation and are not counted as the same bank by the FSCS.
If you do have more than £50,000 with Royal Bank of Scotland (either in one account or spread across different accounts in Virgin or The One Account) then you should consider moving the excess into a new account that has its own authorisation.
If your ISA is stocks and shares, then different protection rules apply; investment plans are protected under the Investment Compensation scheme. This will pay out if the company goes bust, but not if stockmarket turmoil eats into your returns. The maximum level of compensation you may receive from the scheme is £48,000 (100% of the first £30,000 and 90% of the next £20,000).
Q: Guest - I will need my savings within the next six months. Should I move my money from ING (Kaupthing) bank?
A: If your savings account was/is instant access then you should be able to access your money when you need to. If your account was/is fixed-rate then you could lose your interest if you close it early. ING Direct's fixed-rate account is subject to 90 days loss of interest if it is closed early. However, when I contacted ING Direct about your query it says you will be subject to Kaupthing's early closure rules, not ING's.
I suggest you check your terms and conditions, or contact ING Direct and explain what sort of account you have – they should be able to confirm whether you face an early-closure penalty or not.
For your information, ING Direct is covered by the FSCS and the Dutch deposit protection scheme, which guarantees money up to €100,000 (£77,000).
ING Direct is part of the Dutch bank ING Group, which has assets in excess of £1 trillion, and 85 million customers.
Q: Liz - I used my allowance for this year to open a new ISA with Icesave. I understand I will eventually get a letter explaining how to access my money and I believe that interest will only be from when Landsbanki was closed. But my question is will I be able to re-use my 2008-9 allowance to take another ISA?
A: This is an issue that will be affecting a lot of people. Northern Rock ISA savers who withdrew their money in the run-up to its collapse (the 'run' on the bank) were allowed to keep their ISA status, via ISA transfers rather than compensation.
ISA rules state that if the money is withdrawn then you lose your tax-free status – however, the Treasury has explicitly said ISA savers will not be disadvantaged by the collapse of Icesave.
A statement regarding this issue reads: "Arrangements are being put in place to ensure that all ISA customers of Icesave will continue to benefit from the tax-free status of their accounts."
Q: I have my mortgage, savings and loan account all with the same Building Society (Woolwich), should I consider moving my savings account to another Building Society?
A: The FSCS takes into account any debt you owe to an institution when calculating compensation and deducts this from your redress. At the very least this would seriously eat into your saving compensation, but would most likely wipe any redress out. This won't mean you'll wave goodbye to your cash – it will just be used against any debt.
Just to clarify, Woolwich is no longer a building society – it demutualised in 1997 and is now owned by Barclays Bank.
Like other banking groups, Barclays has opted to register its main brand and Woolwich as Barclays on the FSA register. This means that, in the eyes of the Financial Services Compensation scheme, both these firms count as just one bank.
As deposit compensation is per customer per bank, you are only covered up to £50,000 for any money held in a bank authorised as Barclays – i.e. Woolwich or Barclays.
So, if you do decide to move your savings away from Woolwich (where your mortgage and loan are) then don't move your money into a Barclays' account as this will not offer any more protection.
Q: DC60 - We have accounts with three different banks, one is [Lloyds] T.S.B. also Natwest, And lastly Egg, previously Prudential, As its possible for these different names to be part of the same institution, therefore only qualifying for one £50,000 i set about trying to see if I could find out, I am still not sure. Can anyone help?
A: It isn't actually that easy to find out how banks are authorised – all the information is technically available on the FSA register, but as I expect you'll already know, this is not exactly clear! Plus, there are a few exceptions – for example, Virgin Money has its own FSA authorisation but its saving divisions is authorised as HBOS.
For you, the most important thing to know is that your three accounts are considered as separate in the eyes of the FSCS.
Lloyds TSB is authourised as Lloyds TSB, NatWest as NatWest (although it is part of the RBS group it is authourised as a separate bank) and Egg is authourised as Egg (although it is owned by Citibank).
Lloyds TSB is also the authorised name for Cheltenham & Gloucester and Cheltenham & Gloucester Offshore,
NatWest is also the authorised name for Natwest Offshore.
Q: Ron S - I have two annuities and wonder how secure are these in view of the financial crisis? One is aware of guarantees on banks and building societies but what about pensions that are being paid from private financial institutions?
A: Good question. Annuities are protected by the Pensions in Payment protection scheme. This means 100% of the first £2,000 "cash equivalent" is guaranteed with any outstanding balance (unlimited) "cash equivalent" receives 90% protection.
In this context, "cash equivalent" would be calculated as how much it would cost to re-buy the same annuity taking into account your personal circumstances (i.e. the fact that you will be older than you were when you first bought the annuity means you will now have a shorter life expectancy. This would actually boost your annuity payments).
Invidivual Savings Accounts were introduced on 6 April 1999 to replace personal equity plans (PEPs) and tax-exempt special savings accounts (TESSAs) with one plan that covered both stockmarket and savings products, the returns from which are tax-exempt. The ISA is not in itself an investment product. Rather, it's a tax-free "wrapper" in which you place investments and savings up to a specified annual allowance where the returns (capital growth, dividends, interest) are tax-exempt (you don't have to declare ISAs and their contents on your tax return). However, any dividends are taxed within the investment, and that can't be reclaimed.
The practice of locating your financial affairs (banking, savings, investments) in a country other than the one you're a citizen of, usually a low-tax jurisdiction. The appeal of offshore is it offers the potential for tax efficiency, the convenience of easy international access and a safe haven for your money. However, offshore is governed by complex, ever-changing rules (such as 2005's European Union Savings Directive) and, as such, is the exclusive province of the wealthy and high-net-worth individuals.
In the UK, stocks are fixed-interest securities such as corporate bonds and government gilts. In the US, stock is the most widely used term for shares; a diminutive of the term "common stock".
The Financial Services Authority is an independent non-governmental body, given a wide range of rule-making, investigatory and enforcement powers in order to meet its four statutory objectives: market confidence (maintaining confidence in the UK financial system), financial stability, consumer protection and the reduction of financial crime. The FSA receives no government funding and is funded entirely by the firms it regulates, but is accountable to the Treasury and, ultimately, parliament.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme is the compensation fund of last resort for customers of authorised financial services firms. If a firm becomes insolvent or ceases trading, the FSCS may be able to pay compensation to its customers. Limits apply to how much compensation the FSCS is able to pay, and those limits vary between different types of financial products. However, to qualify for compensation, the firm you were dealing with must be authorised by the Financial Services Authority (FSA).
This is a mutual organisation owned by its members and not by shareholders. These societies offer a range of financial services but have historically concentrated on taking deposits from savers and lending the money to borrowers as mortgages, hence the name. In the mid-1990s many societies "demutualised" and became banks. One academic study (Heffernan, 2003) found demutualised societies' pricing on deposits and mortgages was more favourable to shareholders than to customers, with the remaining mutual building societies offering consistently better rates. In 1900, there were 2,286 building societies in the UK; in 2011, there are just 51.
This is more usually a feature of car insurance but it can also crop up in contents, mobile phone and pet insurance policies. An excess is the amount of money you have to pay before the insurance company starts paying out. The excess makes up the first part of a claim, so if your excess is £100 and your claim is for £500, you would pay the first £100 and the insurer the remaining £400. Many online insures let you set your own excess, but the lower the excess, the more expensive the premium will be.
In exchange for any lump sum – usually your pension fund – an annuity is "bought" from an insurance company and provides an income for life. When you die, the income stops. Annuity rates fluctuate daily and depend on your sex (although from 21 December 2012 insurers will no longer be able to use gender as a factor when calculating annuities), age, health and a number of other factors, so you have to pick the right one and, once bought, its terms cannot be altered, so seek financial advice.
i keep reading that mortgage borrowers shouldt worry and to keep on paying but is it possible that a bank could cancel a mortgage even if it hasnt come to term or the end of the discount - ie i still have 15 years on my mortgage but can nationwide redeem the loan now? I know it probably wouldnt as it would cause the house market to crash but COULD it?
I have a drip feed ISA acciunt with RBS. Is it safe?
I will need my savings within the next six months. Should I move my money from ing (Kathing) bank.
I used my allowance for this year to open a new ISA with ICESAVE.I understand I will eventually get a letter explaining how to access my money and I believe that interest will only be from when Landisbank was closed.But my question is will I be able to re-use my 2008-9 allowance to take another ISA?
I have my mortgage, savings and loan account all with the same Building Society (Woolwich), should I consider moving my savings account to another Building Society?
We have accounts with three diffirent banks, one is T.S.B. also Natwest, And lastly Egg, previously Prudential, As its possible for these different names to be part of the same institution, therefore only qualifying for one £50,000 i set about trying to see if i could find out, 'in a clear to understand way' what banks were part of the same institution, There is something on Martins Money saving site, But even after looking at that, i am still not sure. Can anyone help?
Hi - just a quick response to DC60's question as you raise a really important point.
The best place to find out exactly how your bank/s are authorised is the FSA's register (click here to visit the website)
However, the website is not always that easy to interpret... Moneywise is in the process of compiling a comprehensive list of the UK's banks and how they are authorised which should hopefully be a lot easy to navigate your way through.
In the meantime, Lloyds TSB is authorised as Lloyds TSB, NatWest as NatWest (although it is part of the RBS group it is authorised as a separate bank) and Egg is authorised as part of Citigroup.
Lloyds TSB is also the authorised name for Cheltenham & Gloucester and Cheltenham & Gloucester Offshore.
NatWest is also the authorised name for Natwest Offshore.
Citigroup is also the authorised name for Citibank.
So your saving accounts will NOT count as one account. However, if you have your mortgage or loan with any of the above brands bear in mind that outstanding debt will be deducted from your savings before any compensation is paid.
Hope that helps a bit!
I have two annuities and wonder how secure are these in view of the financial crisis. One is aware of guarantees on banks and building socities but what about pensions that are being paid from private financial institutions?
In 1992 my wife and I took out PEP'S with Sun Life of Canada, invested in their Managed Assets Fund, we then added to this in two subsequent years.
In 2001 Sun life got out of this business and transferred our monies to Credit Suisse.
I was aware that Sun Life during its operation of the PEP fund, had a cash fund that one could transfer ones assets to whilst still maintaining the PEP tax efficient wrapper.
In late 2007, wishing to get out of the equity market, I enquired of Credit Suisse if they had a cash fund that I could transfer these PEP's into and still maintain the tax efficient wrapper as existed in Sun Life and was told NO!
Looking back on it now I should have said sod the tax advantage and just sold out and put it in the building society.
If in 1992,3&4 we had just put the cash in the building society we would have been a lot better off at this point when in our 70's we need it most. No doubt in time it will recover but I dont know how long we have got.
I post this comment as a warning if needed to others.
I also ask Monewise to place before Government a petition requesting a change in the ISA rules to allow equity ISA's to be transferred to cash ISA's. (at the moment its a one way traffic --the wrong way)
After all its the government who keeps pressing us to take responsibility and make provision for our old age. Without this provision we are faced with a penal disincentive, as we do not have proper control over where our hard earned cash is invested.
Only the fund managers seem to benefit from our reluctance to move our money outside the Tax efficient umberella
Apologies - Egg is actually authourised as Egg, not as Citigroup! A classic example of how hard the FSA register is to navigate sometimes.
Hi. I have an ISA investor account with halifax. Will the ISA returns decrease under the part-nationalisation? Should it be a good idea to switch to independent bank like Barclays? - Or being part government means it is more safer to keep investing in halifax now? Many thanks for your advice.
I wondered what will happen to IceSave customers who have their savings in "fixed rate" one year schemes. Do they get them back during november like everyone else?

- Publisher's Summary
- This book present a structure for understanding and exploring the semiotic character of law and law systems. Cultivating a deep understanding for the ways in which lawyers make meaning-the way in which they help make the world and are made, in turn by the world they create -can provide a basis for consciously engaging in the work of the law and in the production of meaning. The book first introduces the reader to the idea of semiotics in general and legal semiotics in particular, as well as to the major actors and shapers of the field, and to the heart of the matter: signs. The second part studies the development of the strains of thinking that together now define semiotics, with attention being paid to the pragmatics, psychology and language of legal semiotics. A third part examines the link between legal theory and semiotics, the practice of law, the critical legal studies movement in the USA, the semiotics of politics and structuralism. The last part of the book ties the different strands of legal semiotics together, and closely looks at semiotics in the lawyer's toolkit-such as: text, name and meaning.

I'm so excited that blueberries are in season! Blueberries are so versatile…bake them in muffins, throw them on salads or eat them plain! Today I'm sharing a blueberry sauce to be topped on a creamy, no bake cheesecake.
You guys, this cheesecake is extreme! Thick graham cracker crust, a big pile of cheesecake and topped with a sweet blueberry sauce. It's a cheesecake-lovers dream!
Let's start with the classic graham cracker crust. Place 12 graham cracker sheets into a food processor and blend until you have 2 cups of crumbs. You could also use homemade graham crackers for an extra special touch.
Add 1/4 cup sugar and 1 stick of melted butter and blend until mixed well.
Press into an 8×8 pan.
Now, it's time for this filling. Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, blend 2 (8oz) packages of cream cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar.
Once well mixed, add 2 cup (1 pint) of HEAVY whipping cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon almond extracts. Mix on high for 3-5 minutes or until thickened.
Pour filling over the crust.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
It will be hard to wait, but to pass the time we'll work on the blueberry sauce.
In a medium saucepan, add 2 c ups of fresh or frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of butter, 2 teaspoons of cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
Cook over medium high heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. The blueberries will breakdown and the sauce will become thick.
Let cool and refrigerate until you're ready to serve the cheesecake. Pour on top of cheesecake.
Cut into squares and serve.
This cheesecake is the perfect creamy-fruity combination. Enjoy!

Jury Forced to Restart Deliberations in Hedge Fund Trial
After one week of deliberations in the largest insider trading case related to hedge funds in history, jurors will restart.
A federal judge dismissed an ailing juror and ordered jurors to start again with the replacement. He also ordered jurors not to be prejudiced because the defendant, Raj Rajaratnam, is not in the courtroom due to emergency foot surgery.
Rajaratnam is accused of of making millions of dollars off of illegally traded tips. He pleaded not guilty.

Thought I would share this.
Thought I would share this.
We've been watching this project for a while now - we can't wait to see it fly!
Here's an early story we did:
Our (full-scale) B-17 crew even stopped in to visit Jack last July - they were pretty excited about it as well.

I've been to Jack's place to see the project and I am still in awe and amazement of his dedication and detail he has put in to this project.
Chad Jensen
What a spectacular project ! What a spectacular personal achievement for an EAA homebuilder, even up to this point alone.
It would sure be a shame if the Sport Aviation article about this one-off homebuilt had to be made smaller and less prominent, because a decision was made to prioritize an article about a turbine PC-12 with de-ice boots.
EZ Flap is the high performance upgrade for Cessna, Piper, Stinson, Maule and Beech manual flaps.
More performance - more control - more visibility ! 100% Money Back Guarantee www.ezflaphandle.com
I've been following this project too. Hats off to these guys for bringing this project to completion, can't wait to see it fly!
BTW: Where did I first hear about this project? The warbird replica HQ at Oshkosh....

Install a door bottom weather strip to wooden doors for an effective and almost invisible airtight seal and to stop drafts.
Scribe a line on the door 3/8 in. above the top of the threshold. Remove the door and carefully cut along the line with a circular saw.
Older wood doors usually rely on a non-adjustable threshold to keep the weather out. If your old door doesn't seal tight against the threshold, you're wasting energy. You could screw a surface-applied weather strip to the face of the door, but a door-bottom weather strip is a less obtrusive way to create a good seal.
The door bottom we're using is available at most home centers and hardware stores. If you can't find a door bottom that's smooth on one side, you can slice off the barbed flanges from bottoms designed for steel or fiberglass doors.
Cut the bottom of the door to allow enough (but not too much) clearance to install the new door bottom. The goal is to create an even 3/8-in. space between the top of the existing threshold and the bottom of the door. Close the door and measure the largest gap between the door and the threshold. If the gap is less than 3/8 in., calculate how much you'll have to cut off the bottom to equal 3/8 in. Mark this distance on the door at the point you measured. Then use a scribing tool to extend a mark across the bottom of the door (Photo 1).
Remove the hinge pins and move the door to a set of sawhorses. Mount a sharp blade in your circular saw and cut along the line. Protect the surface of the door with masking tape. If you have a veneered door, score along the line with a sharp utility knife before sawing it to avoid chipping the veneer.
Cut the door bottom to length with a tin snips or utility knife. Apply two parallel beads of adhesive caulk the length of the door and nail the door bottom to the door.
Cut the door-bottom weather strip about 1/8 in. shorter than the width of the door and tack it to the bottom of the door with a staple gun. Rehang the door to test the fit. If it's too snug, remove the weather strip and trim a bit more from the door. When the fit is perfect, remove the staples and mount the weather strip (Photo 2).
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Australia can learn from incidents of carbon trading-related fraud in Europe, the nation's corporate regulator says.
Australian Securities and Investments Commission chairman
Mr Medcraft said carbon trading-related fraud was "an issue" in Europe. "One of the benefits we have in following is we can see some of the issues that have emerged previously in this area," he said.
Some of the fraud occurred when traders bought carbon emissions permits in one nation and sold them in another and kept the value-added tax that should have been paid.
It's estimated carbon fraud in Europe has amounted to at least €5 billion ($6.74 billion) in lost tax.
Senior ASIC official John Price told the committee most of the fraud occurred in the primary market.
"My understanding is that most of the fraud has been at the registry level where there has been fraud around the creation of units and some under-reporting of emissions," Mr Price said.
"It is around that area rather than the trading area."
Mr Price said the Department of Climate and Energy Efficiency would create a new regulator with the responsibility of supervising the registry function of the carbon market.
He said ASIC's role in the carbon trading market would be supervising the activity of financial products.
"Our expertise is in supervising secondary trading," Mr Price said.
"In this particular regime, it will be the responsibility of this new agency to supervise the creation and registry process."
The government is set to introduce a fixed carbon price of $23 a tonne on the top 500 Australian polluters from July 1, 2012.
In 2015, the carbon price will revert to a floating price under an emissions trading scheme.

On May 17, Kim Kardashian arrived at LAX airport, and while she was walking her nipple peaked through her sheer top, causing her to shared a bit more than she intended to. Keep reading for more details on this slip up!
It looks like Kim Kardashian, 33, is headed out of town for some final wedding preparations before the big day! When the star arrived at the airport, fans and paps were swirling, and unfortunately for Kim, they all caught a glimpse of her nip.
The wedding of the year is nearly here and Kim is leaving town to prepare.
The bride-to-be arrived at the airport wearing a standard all black ensemble. She wore a fitted leather jacket over a deep v-neck black top and black pants to match. Although the shirt was black, the sheer material plus the sunlight and camera flashes equaled one major malfunction.
Kim didn't seem too fazed by the situation, but it may pay off to check the sheer nature of materials before deciding to go bra-less next time!
Kim Kardashian's Wedding Dress Details
We hope Kim doesn't have any wardrobe malfunctions on her big day. We cannot wait to see what her dress looks like.
According to our sources, Kanye is playing a big role in the design of his future wife's wedding dress! How cute is that? The designer has influenced Kim's style evolution and we are certain that this dress will be one for the books.
What do you think Kim's dress will look like, HollywoodLifers? Do you like the fact that Kanye is helping to design it? Let us know in the comments below.

Short Story by: Kobey
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
Six brothers stand together to face the evil empire. Only one would end up living in order for the tale to become legend. That one who survived had a child, a boy, named Rothulin. Soon there would be a need for heroes again, but the time wasn't until Rothulin's father was long dead, a horrible dream that once was.
Rothulin would end up having to grow up without knowing who or what, maybe even why, he was who he was. The only thing that could console him was his imagination. Dreaming up enemies to kill and dames to save.
When Rothulin was at the age of working, about thirteen, he was appointed the jeweler's apprentice. Rothulin wanted to be the mage's apprentice, it sounded a lot cooler. But unfortunately his father made it very clear that Rothulin become a jeweler. He said, "In time you'll come to thank me." But to Rothulin that's what all the elders said.
By the time Rothulin was able to be enlisted in the King's militia, eighteen, he signed himself up. Under orders of his father--a once honored and cherished hero--Rothulin was not to go to war. It made Rothulin angry that his father would take such control of his life. That night he wished his father's death, and that night it happened.
An intruder came inside the walls and poisoned him while he slept. It was too late to stop the poison from spreading as the guards chased the intruder after having caught him over Rothulin's father's body. Rothulin instantly regretted the words he had used to kill his father.
The power of words. It's funny how such little things could cause so much trouble. The mage's apprentice was having a hard time doing anything with his own words however. But there was something about Rothulin that made words glow and crackle with incendiary fire.
The six brothers of old, as they were called, used words to cast evil from the lands. Each one had their own specific set of words they could manipulate to their whim. That is why they were so powerful together, but so very weak apart. As soon as the brothers destroyed the great evil, the great evil destroyed them.
In order to defeat the great evil they had to meld their minds into one, Rothulin's father. It was at that point that they were at their weakest. As Rothulin's father chanted the words of destruction, the great evil merged with the flow and traveled into his mind. His goal was to corrupt or destroy--maybe even both--the minds of the other five brothers before the chant was done.
It was up to Rothulin's father to defend his defenseless brothers all the while continuing the chant. The strain was too much to bear, so he had a decision to make. He could finish the chant and destroy the great evil or he could stop it and save his brothers. He made the choice for the greater good and the great evil was destroyed.
Rothulin's father was able to see his brothers' faces one last time before they were consumed by the corruption and taint of the great evil. Their minds were lost and their bodies lay at the center of the great evil's lair. Rothulin's father escaped as soon as he could to prevent the lair from ever being found again.
Rothulin's father left out much of the tale. The rest was filled in with speculation and assumptions. Eventually the tale grew and spread like a fire to neighboring villages and then castles. The tale that was told portrayed Rothulin's father as heroic and brave. It depicted the epic struggle between him and the great evil and the sorrow that befell his brothers.
Later there was a tale of Rothulin's father abandoning his brothers and letting them die. It was purely assumptions of course but he took it to heart and it hurt him dearly. He never was the same after that night with the great evil. Losing his brothers was like losing a part of himself. He was sullen until that night when he found her.
She was magnificent. Some would say that she was the reason that dumpy little town was visited, and that she was the only thing that gave the title beautiful to the town. She wasn't tall but she wasn't short either. Her brown hair was always down, down to her sensuous waist. No matter the circumstances her hair was always so beautifully neat. Even the few strands that straggled out of place would bring any man to float in the air as if Aunt Margarette had made her famous pie.
Yes, she was something. And when she looked you in the eyes with her blue hazel eyes it just made you feel at ease. Like all your problems melted away in that gaze. No matter what you couldn't find her without a specific pendant around her neck. It was a silver circle with a pure white marble in the center.
The day they met sent a shiver up every man's spine within a mile, which told them that there was a disturbance in their beloved town. Neither of them cared because Rothulin's father was finally at peace and there was nothing he wouldn't do to protect her.
The day that Rothulin was born she died. Rothulin's father grew cold once more for losing the love of his life. From that day he vowed he wouldn't let anything happen to their beautiful son. But it wouldn't be easy.
After a few months, Rothulin's father was starting to notice that Rothulin was beginning to have a strange spark about him. No matter how hard he tried to deny it, it was there. It wasn't long before the spark turned into a crackle and that crackle turned into a boom. That's when the village was destroyed, and that's when Rothulin and his father left.
At the town that Rothulin would call home, his father kept Rothulin's power levels in check with his own. He made sure Rothulin didn't have any powers of his own or even an inkling that he had any. It wore him down and left him with nothing. No compassion, no energy, no desire. Something had to be done. That's when he got Rothulin the apprenticeship with the jeweler. It was to keep him from learning about his spark with the mage's apprenticeship and it would also allow him to take some of that built up energy and apply it to jewel crafting. It helped ease the tension on his father a little bit, but not enough to be able to survive. He knew at this rate that he would die and if he died the mage would find the cause. It was simply a matter of time before he did.
When Rothulin became of age his father knew there was nothing more he could teach him. He sent out hints around the neighboring villages of his presence in town, remembering quite well of the resent and scorn a lot of men had for him. It wasn't long before he began to hear rumors of a group of men gathering money to pay an assassin. Good.
The night was set. Unfortunately it wasn't on the best grounds to leave his son, and he felt terrible about it. He didn't want to leave his son at all, especially not with hate in his heart. But he had no choice on the matter.
With the last moments before bed, Rothulin's father sent a bird off with a message that read:
He's ready

Who are New Zealand rugby's big earners? Gregor Paul details those thought to be the top 10 best paid and how that list might change after the world cup.
1 Richie McCaw
Estimated Retainer: $750,000
There was an air of desperation in early 2008. The country was reeling from theWorld Cup disaster and senior figures were talking of leaving. The New Zealand Rugby Union wanted to make a definitive statement; showing they still had something to offer. McCaw was the man they had to lock in first. The skipper was revered by team-mates. The plan was to persuade McCaw to stay and then hope others would be tempted to follow suit, which is why the NZRU came up with an enormous package. His importance to the national team was impossible to overstate.
2 Dan Carter
Estimated Retainer: $750,000
The best first five in the world and the only genuine test-class No 10 in New Zealand, Carter is almost the sole reason the All Blacks have enjoyed a near 85 per cent win record in the last seven years. The All Blacks just aren't the same team without him - remember the early part of 2009 when he was injured?
If he had left at the end of 2008, as he would have if the sabbatical option hadn't been presented, the All Blacks would have been in real trouble. While the NZRU couldn't pay him as much as the likes of Perpignan or Toulon, they had to make the best offer they could - and drive the pay scale to a new level.
3 Mils Muliaina
Estimated Retainer: $550,000
There is always a misplaced confidence when it comes to outside backs; that a new star will be along in an instant so don't get attached to anyone in particular. Thankfully no one in administrative circles was so blase when it came to retaining Muliaina. At 28, as he was in 2008, the issue was whether he would still have the pace and explosive power to be an attacking threat in 2011.The All Black coaches had no doubts and their judgment proved astute, with Muliaina making the shortlist in 2010 for the IRB Player of the Year.
4 Rodney So'oialo
Estimated Retainer: $500,000
The fact So'oialo is lucky to get a start with Wellington these days is a sign of how quickly and how far he has fallen. In early 2008 he had several big overseas offers and the NZRU were decidedly nervous about losing him. His engine was purring and, with no other No 8 in the country pushing for test selection, the All Black coaches felt So'oialo was a player they had to retain. His experience, versatility and reliability were all worth a premium. The NZRU threw a wad of cash at So'oialo and then watched, slightly alarmed, as the old warrior ran out of gas and started to look like a club player.
5 Ali Williams
Estimated Retainer: $500,000
The All Blacks took three locks to the 2007 World Cup - one of whom was Chris Jack who headed to Saracens after the tournament and Keith Robinson retired. That left Ali Williams as the only senior lock in the country at the start of 2008. Brad Thorn's renaissance was only just beginning when Williams began contract extension talks; Anthony Boric was not starting at the Blues; Jason Eaton was still recovering from a serious knee injury and James Ryan was injured out of rugby. To have lost Williams would have left the All Blacks horribly exposed in a key department, so he was in a position of real strength.
6 Tony Woodcock
Estimated Retainer: $480,000
With Carl Hayman gone and Greg Somerville in talks to leave in 2008, Tony Woodcock was the pillar around which the All Blacks would build their 2011World Cup scrum. Woodcock was a proven test veteran, an aggressive and technically efficient scrummager who offered plenty around the field. At the time of signing his extension, there was no real rival for his jersey. His experience was invaluable and his new pay deal also had to factor the likely improvement that was still to come.
7 Kevin Mealamu
Estimated Retainer: $480,000
A hard-edged, tough ball carrier with great core skills and an unbreakable work ethic, Keven Mealamu's value has never been underestimated by the All Black coaches. His form in 2010 proved exactly why the selectors wanted to put some big money his way.
8 Andrew Hore
Estimated Retainer: $480,000
Much the same as Mealamu, Hore is exactly the kind of player the All Black coaches want in the trenches. There was little doubt he'd retain his form and fitness through to 2011 and, with him and Mealamu, there are two world-class options in a critical position.
9 Brad Thorn
Estimated Retainer: $450,000
Initially Brad Thorn wasn't wanted by Graham Henry in 2004. So when the big lock returned to New Zealand in 2008, few gave him any hope of re-igniting his test career. Yet, with only months until the tournament, Thorn is the only automatic choice at lock. He is the beating heart of the All Black pack and has been since June 2008. The NZRU had to up his pay massively when he extended his contract to stay on until 2011.
10 Joe Rokocoko
Estimated Retainer: $430,000
Negotiated a one-year extension last year when he was playing well and back in the All Black starting XV. Some might wonder why the NZRU paid so much to keep him when there are ample choices on the wing, but Rokocoko's experience comes at a premium. His CV is impressive and that demands top dollar.
There also had to be some compensation for the fact that his contract is only for one year. Other players thought to be on major contracts are: Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Sonny Bill Williams and Chris Jack.
1 Richie McCaw
Potential Value in 2012: $750,000
The skipper has made it clear his preference is to be here in 2012. Much will be made of his age and the battering he has taken in the last decade but his form only gets better; his captaincy, too. He's a better player now than he was in 2008, a better leader and his importance to the All Blacks in 2012 will be just as great as it was in 2008.
2 Dan Carter
Potential Value in 2012: $750,000
Maybe in 12 months one of the emerging first fives will be much improved; better prepared to "own" a test match. Still, best-case scenario, they will barely be a quarter of the player Carter already is.
New Zealanders get twitchy when players approach 30 but that's nonsense. Carter, who will turn 29 in a few weeks, could still have another five, maybe more good years in him.
His best weapon is his tactical appreciation, vision and kicking so, even if his running game should come under pressure from ageing legs, he'd still be able to dominate a test and make himself the central figure. Like McCaw, Carter's value hasn't diminished at all.
3 Kieran Read
Potential Value in 2012: $650,000
Read strikes everyone, including McCaw, as the next All Black captain. He is a world-class No 8 - something the All Blacks haven't had since Zinzan Brooke - and the kind of player that inspires his peers. He will, without question, be the man around whom the 2015 All Blacks are built. Expect him, like McCaw did under Tana Umaga's reign, to captain in a few lesser tests from 2012.
4 Sonny Bill Williams
Potential Value in 2012: $600,000
Demand for Sonny Bill will be high. Toulon want him back, as do plenty of other rugby clubs and the NRL is a serious option and, who knows with Williams, the AFL, the NRL or even the NBL could be where he ends up. But the noises from his team of advisers have so far been promising and the NZRU realise they have to get the chequebook out.
The national body insists Williams is not currently being paid over the odds and those in the know say he's not even in their top 10 earners. But that will have to change. Williams could be a sensational All Black; his off-loading potentially taking their game plan into unprecedented territory.
5 Ma'a Nonu
Potential Value in 2012: $550,000
There is an element of sympathy for Ma'a Nonu. He was the star of the Tri Nations and then pushed to one side once Williams joined the circus. Nonu, however, remains one of the best attacking midfielders in world rugby and a crucial part of the All Black mix. His combination with Conrad Smith is proven and reliable and there simply isn't any coach in the game who wouldn't want Nonu in their mix.
6 Conrad Smith
Potential Value in 2012: $500,000
The clear-thinking, organisational master of the backline relies on his distribution, speed of thought and anticipation, so should still be a force in his early 30s. He brings clarity, focus, direction and good judgment to a backline full of power runners. He'll have a senior role to play in 2012, especially if Carter leaves.
7 Jerome Kaino
Potential Value in 2012: $480,000
It's taken a while but finally Jerome Kaino has shown why this All Black panel has persevered with the Blues blindside. By the end of last year he was deemed by Graham Henry to be a world class operator. His ball carries are huge. His defence is relentless - accurate and hard-hitting and he has that desire to impose himself, to snarl and snap at opponents. His combination with Read and McCaw has the potential to be one of the best and, if Kaino were to head overseas in 2012, it would be painful to see a foreign club enjoy what will undoubtedly be his best years.
8 Owen Franks
Potential Value in 2012: $400,000
Now that the Hayman saga is finally over and everyone has made peace with the fact he's not coming home, Franks needs to feel the love. He looks a better prospect than Hayman anyway. He's just turned 23, is the strongest man ever to play for the All Blacks and has 22 test caps. Technically he's impressed and there is so much more to come. He could be frighteningly good in two years. His general play is also improving and the smart move would be to look after him and keep him here until at least 2015.
9 Sam Whitelock
Potential Value in 2012: $380,000
There is considerable excitement among the All Black coaches at the potential of Sam Whitelock. He is the new Ali Williams and even though he's just 21, he's likely to be the senior lock for much of the next four years. He has the physique and mentality of a lock, yet the skills of a loose forward. He gets stuck in, is fearless and doesn't want to be anywhere else other than in the thick of it.
10 Israel Dagg
Potential Value in 2012: $380,000
It took Dagg 20 minutes to prove he was born to play test football and with Muliaina almost certainly leaving after the World Cup, the No 15 jersey will be up for grabs. It will be Dagg's. He is going to be a massive international superstar which is what the All Blacks need. They require strike power in the back three coupled with pace and a touch of magic which is what Dagg brings.

Describe one aspect of Commanding and its relationship with Coordinating.
1 Answer | Add Yours
The notion of commanding from a leadership perspective has to go hand in hand with coordination. Certainly, I believe the question to be right in that the two comprise what leadership is. There is that motivational and dynamic quality of commanding, but it is only supported and buttressed with the element of coordination. Commanding is dependent on ensuring that people will be able to follow a particular leader. This is not as likely if the leader is not coordinated enough to recognize particular directions towards success or the path that must be taken in order to achieve this. I tend to think that commanding is the larger, macro vision that a leader has to have and coordinating is the smaller, micro steps needed to accomplish this element. Workplace management needs both in order to be successful. Leaders that lack the ability to coordinate lose credibility and effectiveness, causing organizations to doubt those in command. It is through the coordination of daily and sometimes hourly realities in which commanding is at its most effective. In both, successful leaders can be forged.

Floral fantasy ... this georgette afternoon dress was a standout of the Collette Dinnigan show.

As Paris fashion week drew to an end on Sunday, in sub-zero temperatures, there were excellent opportunities to appreciate the contribution of some of the unsung heroes of fashion shows.
These are the stylists who work collaboratively with the designers to put the individual outfits together for maximum impact on the catwalk.
There is a lot more to it than zipping up a frock. A great stylist can propel a collection from "Whatever" to "Wow!" by judiciously belting a jacket here and pushing up a sleeve there.
At Louis Vuitton a very different mood was immediately apparent under the aegis of the cool Britannia stylist Katie Grand, who has taken over the gig from the eminent American Alex White, the fashion director of W magazine in New York.
White's style is all about extreme elegance with a witty twist, whereas Grand leans towards the dark and dangerous.
This was expressed in chalky make-up, dark lips and rather tortured hair involving multiple clips across the head.
Vuitton's designer Marc Jacobs continued the trend back to black that has characterised this fashion season, making it blacker still with opaque tights, which Grand would have chosen.
Shapes were all about the new Balenciaga volumes, gorgeous in a round-cut pea coat and in jackets with wildly oversized collars and wide, bracelet-length sleeves - less flattering in a taffeta sack dress, which too closely resembled its namesake.
Collette Dinnigan worked with another Brit, Karl Plewka, to great effect on her collection.
Plewka is the personal stylist to David Beckham for all Beckham's ad campaigns, as well as being a highly regarded magazine contributor, and brought a really cool edge to Dinnigan's feminine clothes.
A dark brown tweed coat, with an appealing swing in the skirt, was shown to its maximum advantage cinched in tightly with a fake leopard-skin belt, the sleeves pushed up to reveal leather gloves.
In a similar vein, black-red nail varnish on the models' feet, in their crystal-embellished satin sandals, added an almost subliminal touch of spice to such classic Dinnigan pieces as a cafe-au-lait bias-cut satin evening gown, with a flowing train and diamante trim at the waist.
Stand-out pieces in the show included a "Big Bird" marabou evening jacket with beaded burlesque fringing amid the feathers, and a georgette afternoon dress in an exquisite pink floral print.
Whoever did the styling at Lanvin - and they are mostly uncredited - had plenty to work with. For the fourth season running the designer Alber Elbaz showed his masterly grasp of cutting clothes into beautiful shapes that women will long to wear.
Most appealing here were the equestrian coats, which sculpted the waist and then softly flared into the round fullness that is the big news in skirts.
The only thing missing was his glorious sense of colour. Apart from some bright orange dresses, a wonderful purple velvet skirt with a sheer tulle blouse and two trench coats in wild tropical prints, it was pretty much all black, grey and white - just like everywhere else.

We're all guilty of being a bit sporadic when it comes to washing our makeup sponges and brushes. But since we found this lavender-scented cleanser, we're fully committed. Originally designed to be used with the bestselling beautyblender®, it's also great for any other tool that comes into contact with our skin. The earth-friendly formula gets rid of the bacteria, dirt, and oil that can accumulate over time. Plus, the gentle low-suds formula doesn't contain any artificial dyes or irritating ingredients.
I tried cleaning my Beauty Blender with shampoo and other cheaper alternatives that I saw on Pinterest, but this is the only one that completely removed the makeup and left the sponge in its original pink state. I just wish it wasn't so ridiculously expensive!5
Excited to have something that works well. It's almost a gel texture. At the first rinse, a bit of the pink color did come out, but after that it was didn't anymore. It cleaned the sponge and left it with a very light lavender scent. This bottle will last a long time, and I like this product very much.5
I bought my first beauty blender 3 months ago and read reviews saying its worth it to buy the cleanser along with it. I use my blender every day and clean it immediatly after with 1 pump of cleanser. My blender still looks brand new and my bottle isn't even 1/4 empty. Well worth the money to keep an amazing product in great condition.5

'Demolition' with Jake Gyllenhaal to launch 40th Toronto film festival
By Solarina Ho
TORONTO (Reuters) - The Toronto International Film Festival will kick off its 40th year with the world premiere of Canadian director Jean-Marc Vallee's "Demolition", starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Naomi Watts, organizers said on Tuesday.
The festival, a frequent launch pad for Oscar contenders, announced some 50 of the hundreds of films it will showcase between Sept. 10 and 20.
"Demolition" follows the unraveling of a successful investment banker after the death of his wife. It is the latest from Vallee, who won wide acclaim with his "Dallas Buyers Club".
Other movies making their world premieres include Ridley Scott's "The Martian", starring Matt Damon, and Stephen Frears' "The Program", with Ben Foster and Dustin Hoffman, which tracks the rise and fall of Lance Armstrong.
Making his return to screen after more than five years is Oscar-winning documentary director Michael Moore with "Where to Invade Next".
Peter Sollett's "Freeheld", starring Julianne Moore and Ellen Page, is based on the true story of a lesbian couple's struggle for equal rights after one is diagnosed with cancer and wishes to leave her pension to her partner.
Organizers said they have tweaked last year's controversial format of excluding films during Toronto's high-profile opening weekend that have already been screened at the more intimate, industry-focused Telluride festival.
This year the limitation is that films shown at the three red-carpet venues during the first four days must be world or North American premieres. This allows moviegoers to catch buzzy films already shown elsewhere at other venues during the opening days. Continued...

My neck could be just a bit tighter, and my complexion needs help. Will be consultating re: my desired conservative upper and aggressive lower eyelid surgery. I'm just utterly confused concerning "my SKIN." I need expert advise on lasers OR peels. What will NOT leave me with the texture of an orange and possible scars?

Benoit Pouliot ignores 'bust' tag, says there was 'lack of trust' with Jacques Martin
|09.14.11 at 1:15 pm ET
WILMINGTON — When the Bruins signed forward Benoit Pouliot on July 1, any hockey fan with access to YouTube probably couldn't stop laughing at the irony. The guy whom the fans hated and was even referred to as "one of the greatest disappointments of talent in National Hockey League history" by Jack Edwards was going to call TD Garden his home.
Now, you won't find a more pro-Jack Edwards guy on the planet than me (UNH pride), but I'm not just defending Jack when I say he wasn't the first to call Pouliot a bust. Pouliot was the fourth overall pick of the 2005 draft, and though his skill is undeniable, he hasn't shown up enough on the scoring sheet. Last year, he had 13 goals in his fifth professional season, so it's natural for people to wonder whether it's a case of the 24-year-old not reaching his potential yet or a case of him being, as Jack said, a disappointment. He met the media Wednesday and shared his thoughts on that tag.
"I didn't see it, but I heard about it," Pouliot said of Edwards' call. "I don't really think about it. I don't really listen to that kind of stuff. It's their opinion, it's the way people put it out there, but at the same time, in Montreal I had some good, good, good things happen to me. Playing on the third and fourth line helped me with my game a lot, defensively and the way I play in my own zone. It's mostly good stuff."
Pouliot had a rough go of it late in his tenure with the Canadiens. Game 3 — the game in which Edwards made his famous comments ("he's a really high draft pick, but he's never done anything with his talent.") — would be the last of his Montreal career. Coach Jacques Martin cut him the rest of the way, so Pouliot was forced to watch the remainder of the series after playing 79 regular-season games.
"I don't know. I think there was maybe a lack of trust between me and the coach," he said. "At first when I got there, I think he played me 17, 18 minutes a game. Things went well, and then it kind of went downhill after that, but last year I had a good year on the third line, fourth line all year long, and it was more positives than negative stuff when I was Montreal."
More to come on Pouliot.

There are so many things to do in Innsbruck-Stadt, you might have a hard time deciding where to start. For example, a weekend in Innsbruck-Stadt can be filled with popular guided or unguided hikes around the area which are capped by attending a regular nighttime event filled with traditional Austrian dances and songs. What better way to enjoy the Innsbruck-Stadt culture for yourself You could also choose to ski the Tyrol Mountains starting at the Innsbruck Gletscher Ski Resort. Innsbruck-Stadt attractions include a lot more than mountains though. The 1460 Imperial Palace called Hofburg can be toured throughout the year. Another popular Innsbruck-Stadt tourism attraction is the Alpine Zoo. This is the highest altitude zoo in Europe. Other Innsbruck-Stadt sights include the Triumphpforte, the Hofkirche bronze statues of nobility, and the Dom St. Jakob cathedral. Shopping in Innsbruck-Stadt is just as fun when you visit the Maria-Theresien-StraBe with its many boutiques and shops.

Practice areas & skills: Violent Crime, Federal Crime, Sex Crime, Criminal Defense, Identity Theft
A violent crime occurs when a person uses (or threatens to use) violence to harm another person, including rape, assault, and murder. The penalties for violent crimes are stiff; conviction almost always carries substantial jail time. If you are accused of a violent crime, you need an attorney with experience defending others in that particular crime, one who will understand how to best defend you based on your facts and circumstances. Sometimes the government will offer a "plea bargain," meaning they will drop or lower the charges if you agree to a lesser crime. A violent crime lawyer will be able to evaluate the government's case and the terms of the bargain to suggest how to proceed in your best interests.

Family Resources:
America the Beautiful Park is one of the newest additions to the park system in Colorado Springs.
Located at 126 Cimino Drive (just off Colorado Blvd. and I-25), it is a perfect place for families to enjoy an afternoon!. The 20+ acre park is along the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail that runs along Monument Creek. It is a good family bike trip, starting here and biking North along the trail up to Colorado College and back.
The park features a large rotating fountain that frames the mountains, a large green area, beautifully landscaped walkways with benches and a creative playground for children of various ages. A picnic pavillion sits between the green space and the playground and is a perfect place to stop for lunch or dinner.
It is a great setting for family bike rides, picnics, playground time with children, or just a quiet contemplative afternoon.

Fan Fest Set for Sunday, Aug. 18
By USF
Related Links
By TOM ZEBOLD
USF Senior Writer
TAMPA – It's almost time to spend a memorable afternoon with head coach Willie Taggart and the Bulls.
USF Fan Fest is set for a 2 p.m. start on Sunday, Aug. 18 at Raymond James Stadium. The event is free for all attendees with parking available in Lot 4 (enter stadium through Dock B on the ground level).
Fans are encouraged to bring their footballs, hats, jerseys or any other memorabilia for players and coaches to sign. Aside from taking photos with your favorite Bulls, the field at Raymond James Stadium will be filled with interactive experiences and fans also can sit in available seats and lock in their 2013 tickets with the USF sales staff on hand to guide the way.
Plans for Inclement Weather
If it's raining prior to the start of Fan Fest, the autograph session will take place on the East Concourse and fans can utilize Gate B to access that area.
If rains starts to fall while Fan Fest is underway, the autograph session will move to the service level. Players will be lined from the North service level down the West service level with coach Taggart signing autographs in the media room.
Bag Policy Reminder for the Season
The NFL's new bag policy will be in effect for all Raymond James Stadium events this year and that includes USF football games moving forward.
The policy has been established in order to provide fans with a safer environment and expedited entry on game day and it places limits on the size and type of bags which may be brought into Raymond James Stadium.
Fans will be allowed to carry in no more than one approved clear bag (not to exceed 12"x6"x12") and up to one small clutch-style bag (not to exceed 4.5"x 6.5").
Season ticket holders will be provided with one bag for every two season tickets in their account (up to four) the week of the season opener through mail. The Bulls kick off their season at home on Saturday, Aug. 31 against McNeese State at 7 p.m.
Barnes and Noble will carry a limited stock of bags that will be available at the Bulls Team Store located at Gate A of the Sun Dome. There also will be on-site locations to pick up bags on game day.

We love to roll out a French press whenever we have company (so much cooler than ho-hum drip coffee). But BODUM's new design takes our showboatery up a notch. Inspired by Irish designer Eileen Gray, this press combines the brand's brewing know-how with sleek design.
I love French press. The coffee is so much better than drip. This coffee maker is the perfect way to make French press. It's stylish and effective. The coffee gets a beautiful crema on top and it doesn't get that bitter taste that you can get from cheaper brands. Love the look, love the taste!4
My very first coffee press. The size is great for me. I am the only one in my household that drinks coffee so it fits me perfect but you can definitely make more than one cup of coffee. It's design has a beautiful sleek modern look, it looks great on my kitchen counter. I couldn't be any happier. Love love love!!5

Nutritional Guidlines
Good nutrition is a Marathon, not a sprint.
Don't make the mistake of trying to change everything overnight. It took your entire life to adopt your current nutrition habits, expect it to take some time to change them. After two weeks of a consistent change, you have made it a habit. Pick two or three of the tips in LivingFit to start. Each week review how you have done and evaluate the areas that need improvement. You have this! One step at a time is all it takes.
Adopt the motto "after 8 is too late" for snacks after dinner.
That's the average number of calories Americans drink on a daily basis, according to a recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which showed that around 37 percent of our total daily liquid calories come from sugar-sweetened drinks. So where are all of these calories coming from? Here is a sampling of the calories hiding in your cup.
Reduce 'Empty Calorie' Foods
The 'Quick' on Oats
Oatmeal takes very little time to cook; so buying instant oatmeal may not be the best investment of time or money. A serving of oatmeal is 1/2 cup dry. Generally, instant oatmeal packets give you about half of that.
Veg up your meals!
Watching Cals IN and Cals OUT
Sorry folks, there are no magic pills, no magic diets, and no ab blasters will help you and your body lose fat. It's hard to accept sometimes isn't it?
Once you know your Calories IN number…
Know your diet pitfalls
To improve your eating habits, you first have to know what's wrong with them. Write down everything you eat for three days. Then look for any patterns or 'triggers' that may have sparked eating too much or eating foods you want to cut down on. Do you add a lot of butter, creamy sauces or salad dressings? Rather than eliminating these foods, just cut back your portions. Are you getting enough fruits and vegetables? If not, you may be missing out on vital nutrients.
Nutritional Guidelines:
Grocery shopping
Grocery stores are designed to keep you in the store as long as possible. All 'essential' items (milk, bread, produce) are located on the extreme corners of the store, so you have to pass by lots of other tempting merchandise even if you're just running in for a quart of milk. The most expensive products are placed at eye level (except for kid's products, which are placed at their eye level). Products on display at the end of aisles are usually not on sale or a special buy. Once you know these details you can plan your shopping list according to store layout, and save time and money by avoiding impulse buys.
Avoid crash diets.
Lighten the Foods You Already Love
One of the easiest ways to cut back without feeling denied is to switch to lower-calorie versions of the foods you crave. A pizza tastes just as good with reduced-fat cheese, and when you garnish low-fat ice cream with your favorite toppers, who notices those missing calories?
Drink Fewer Calories
Drinking beverages such as soda, fruit juice, sports drinks, alcohol, specialty coffees and teas can add up to many "empty calories". Nutritionally speaking, these calories contribute little more nutrition to our diets except for plain, old calories. This means that it can account for putting on weight. Many times drinking extra calories is not compensated for by consuming fewer calories from other foods.
Why is healthy eating important?
Why are activities important?
Calories OUT are important for multiple reasons. The #1 reason to be active is to keep your heart healthy. When we move, we increase the blood flow in our body and help the heart become more efficient. This will help us live a longer more productive life. This program will help you find the right balance of
Calories IN and Calories OUT based on your specific goal.
