UK PM May strikes deal to get Northern Irish DUP support for minority government
LONDON British Prime Minister Theresa May struck a deal on Monday to prop up her minority government with the support of a small Northern Irish Protestant party.
VENTERSDORP, South Africa South African President Jacob Zuma called for calm on Sunday after the killing of white far-right leader Eugene Terre'blanche in a suspected pay dispute with black workers fanned fears of racial strains.
Police detained two farm workers and said they were investigating the quarrel they had with Terre'blanche, but his Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB) says he was battered and hacked to death in an attack with political overtones.
Zuma, who has made it a priority to court white Afrikaners, called it a "terrible deed" and urged South Africans "not to allow agent provocateurs to take advantage of this situation by inciting or fuelling racial hatred."
Terre'blanche, 69, was the voice of hardline opposition to the end of apartheid in the early 1990s although his party has played a marginal role since then and does not have a big following among the 10 percent of white South Africans.
The AWB urged restraint while the funeral is prepared and before the party decides next steps. In Ventersdorp, in rolling farmland over 100 km (60 miles) west of Johannesburg, party followers in paramilitary khaki laid flowers at the farm gate.
"We will decide upon the action we are going to take to avenge Mr Terre'blanche's death," said spokesman Andre Visagie.
Concerns over increasing racial polarization have been thrown into the open by a row over the singing of an apartheid-era song with the lyrics "Kill the Boer" by the youth leader of the ruling African National Congress.
The ANC has defended the song as no more than a way to remember a history of oppression, but it has worried minority groups and particularly white farmers, some 3,000 of whom have been killed since the end of apartheid.
"The killing of Terre'blanche will symbolically be seen as a strain of these relationships," said analyst Nic Borain of HBC Securities.
"But Terre'blanche is an old criminal and I don't think people would come to his defense or his killing somehow invigorate white people opposition to the new South Africa."
Terre'blanche's party did not hesitate to link the murder to the song. He had always described himself as a Boer.
"That's what this is all about," Visagie said.
Zuma's spokesman Vincent Magwenya said, however, there was no evidence at this stage linking the killing to the song sung by firebrand ANC youth wing leader Julius Malema.
Terre'blanche had lived in relative obscurity since his release from prison in 2004 after serving a sentence for beating a black man nearly to death.
The party -- whose flag resembles a Nazi swastika -- was revived two years ago and he had begun efforts to try to build a united front among white far-right parties to fight for a white homeland, but had gained little traction.
Terre'blanche was a powerful orator in his Afrikaans language and was a distinctive figure, heavily built, with a thick grey beard and dressed in khaki. He often attended rallies on horseback during his fight to stop majority rule.
Police said the suspected killers were aged 16 and 21. Both had worked for Terre'blanche.
"It seems there was a dispute between and these guys were arrested ... The police are investigating and the public will be kept abreast," Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa told a news conference. "Somebody is dead, can we keep it at that."

Marilyn from Pink Martinis and Pearls shares her USC cake pops that compliment our USC graduation announcements beautifully.
When I saw the Tiny Prints USC graduation announcements I knew my USC Cake Pops would be a natural complement to celebrate the graduate's accomplishment with a fun Spirit of Troy theme!
Being a Trojan alumna, and a mom to a soon-to-be college grad, cake pops in the graduate's university's colors, cardinal and gold for USC, with the collegiate font and familiar icons do double duty serving as the centerpiece of the party and dessert.
Of course, they would also make the perfect party favors for guests. Add ribbon in the school's color or flags with the words all Trojans keep close to their hearts – "Fight On!", "Traveler", and "Conquest" or print out the good wishes coming the graduate's way – "We're so proud!", "You did it!", "Woo Hoo!", "Congratulations!"
My on blog, Pink Martinis and Pearls, I've posted a tutorial showing how to bake and decorate your own collegiate cake pops. I have a printer that I use solely for printing edible images but many bakeries will provide this service for you.
Collegiate themed cake pops are fun for tailgate season too.

Liga Deportiva Universitaria (LDU) is a professional soccer team from the city of Quito, the capital of Ecuador.
The team is usually referred to as Liga de Quito to tell it apart from other Ecuadorian teams which also bear the name Liga Deportiva Universitaria, like Liga Deportiva Universitaria from Portoviejo and Liga Deportiva Universitaria from Loja.
Decades ago, the team played in a small, no longer existing stadium called Estadio del Arbolito. The stadium's name came from a small tree (arbolito) that was near the playing field. Later, they moved to the Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa, which they shared with Club Deportivo El Nacional, Sociedad Deportivo Quito and Club Deportivo ESPOLI. In 1997, they inaugurated their own stadium in the parish of Cotocollao farther north in Quito. The stadium is called La casa Blanca (white house) because white is the main color of the team's uniform.
[edit] Achievements
LDU is currently considered the strongest Ecuadorean club team. They have been been in the Copa Libertadores and in the Copa Nissan sudamericana every year since 2004, where they have won against teams such as Santos, Sao Paulo, River Plate, Boca Juniors, etc...
Copas Libertadores: (11 Participations) 1970, 1975, 1976, 1978, 1982, 1991, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2006. Best tournament: 4º in 1976 (semifinal)
Copa Sudamericana: (4 Participations) 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. Best tournament: 3º in 2004 Semifinals
They were qualified by Fox sports Latin America as being one of the best South American teams. Their stadium, "La Casa Blanca" is one of the most modern stadiums in Latin America.

As anyone who's ever been in a band can tell you, principle of the thing or no principle of the thing, it's generally preferable to play a show where the actual amount of paying customers is at least double the amount of bartenders and doormen working the venue.
"I wouldn't say I'm relieved when that happens, but we play for all we've got regardless," says Roger Clyne. "It's nice to put on a different kind of show. We can take requests, and if you get a shot of tequila, you know who it came from."
Not that it happens to him very often. Crowds line up around the block to see him and his band, the Peacemakers, in their hometown of Tucson. And when they go on the road, the Peacemakers seldom play the same empty room twice, as their brand of ballsy, brawling country has a way of making the kind of fans who tell two friends, who tell two friends, and so on.
The kind of fans who recently turned out in the kind of numbers needed to garner Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers a nomination for Best Unsigned Band in a recent contest sponsored by Internet titan Yahoo! They didn't win, but Clyne couldn't be more pleased.
"It came from the fans, that's what's really cool," he says. "I was on the road when it happened so I didn't know that much about it, but it's a real feather in our cap because it's the fans who showed their support." The fans who have bought 30,000 copies of last year's Honky Tonk Union CD—and that's just official industry sales, not everything that goes out of cardboard boxes in the back of the Peacemakers' touring van after the show. To hear Clyne tell it, those person-to-person sales are the ones that really count.
"The best part of being indie is that it keeps relations with fans unadulterated," he says. "It keeps an untainted, pure pipeline from the band to the fans, and it doesn't muddy the waters with a lot of corporate involvement."
Hmm now, you might be wondering to yourself, might there be a Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers fan in me scratching to get out? Yes, undoubtedly. Ever seen the Fox Network comedy "King of the Hill?" Then you've already heard Roger Clyne. The insanely catchy instrumental theme song (does anyone else out there now associate garbage bags with cowbells?) is just one high-profile example of Clyne's handiwork, a little ditty he wrote for his old band the Refreshments while on tour in Chicago. Killer trivia: the song's original title is "Yahoos and Triangles." And boy wonder Mike Judge? Is he one of the fans Clyne speaks of so warmly? Yep.
"We shot some pool and drank some mescal," Clyne says. "He'd already picked that song out to be his theme. He's really demented—in a good way."
The Peacemakers don't play no dang ol' dang ol' "King of the Hill" theme. But they'll sure as hell make one of them dang ol' dang ol' fans out of you.
Roger Clyne and his dang ol' Peacemakers play the Cowboy Bar next Thursday, Sept. 13 at 10 p.m. Cover TBA. Giddyup now.

I was wondering if you had tires here? I thought I saw some in the videos, but I dont remember. Anywho, I am looking to pick one up and was wondering what a good weight would be? My roommate thinks 200LBs would be good, but I think that is too light. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
If it matters, my work set on deads in 340.
A little web commercial we filmed for our gym!
We just added a kick boxing class. It's more of a "Cardio kickboxing" thing, but people go nuts over it. It's in its third week and we're already averaging 18-20 people per class.
A couple cool new videos:
Gotta be the one to say it.
Not that it's not strong, just that I prefer to see the lockout.
Apparently we might get kicked out of our space, so there's suddenly been talk of the gym getting it's own place. We've got a pro bodybuilder, a guy who works with college s&c, a former semi-pro football player, etc. On the other hand, we don't have anyone with a CSCS or heaven forbid, a Crossfit cert. As a general use gym, it probably wouldn't matter, but what if we wanted to have bootcamp or classes? Will people care?
Another impressive feat by on of our members. This woman has been dead lifting for about a month and a half.

- Price: €25.00
Add to basket (GBP) Add to basket (USD) Add to basket (EUR)
This book offers new approaches and insights into the relationships between heritage tourism and notions of modernity, identity building and sustainable development in China. It demonstrates that the role of the state, politics, institutional arrangements and tradition have a considerable impact on perceptions of these notions. The volume contributes to current debates on tradition and modernity; the study of heritage tourism; the negotiated power between stakeholders in tourism planning and policy-making and the study of Chinas society. The approach and findings of the book are of value to those interested in the continuities and changes in Chinese society and to graduate students and researchers in tourism, cultural studies and China studies.
Hongliang Yan has produced a deep, historical and philosophically informed study of the development and governance of heritage tourism in China that reveals complex synergies and tensions between tradition and modernity, continuity and change. The focus and framework that underpins this excellent and important book will be of critical interest to students, policy-makers and practitioners of heritage tourism.- Philip E. Long, Bournemouth University, UK
This is a book that goes further than any before to propose a theoretical framework backed by solid practical knowledge and experience of heritage tourism in China. A source of rich data and well-researched case studies, it is the first single-authored work to tackle this topic in a candid manner and I highly recommend it.- Hilary du Cros, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia
Hongliang Yan is a Senior Lecturer in International Tourism Management, Coventry University, UK. His research interests include sustainable tourism, heritage tourism and tourism mobilities. He has published widely and his work has appeared in leading international peer-reviewed journals and books.

World Chefs: Francois aims to put stamp on landmark NYC restaurant
By Richard Leong
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Raphael Francois has been treading a fine line between updating Le Cirque, the landmark New York City restaurant, and preserving its European fine-dining traditions since he became head chef in January.
The classically trained Francois, 35, is the latest in a string of talented chefs who have worked at the 40-year-old eatery. Some of them including Daniel Boulud, David Bouley, Bill Telepan, Michael Lomonaco and Geoffrey Zakarian have gone on to achieve success on their own.
Prior to Le Cirque, Francois was the executive chef at the Helene Darroze restaurant at the Connaught Hotel in London where he earned two Michelin stars.
Francois, who was born in Tournai, Belgium, spoke to Reuters about his move across the Atlantic and what makes a good burger.
Q: What are you bringing to Le Cirque?
A: My style has a very strong French basis. I also have to adopt my style to Le Cirque. My style matches with the environment. The flavor of my food is always classic.
Q: What reputation does Le Cirque have in Europe?
A: In Europe, it is known as a well-established restaurant and an institution in New York. When you are a European and you want to try a restaurant in New York, Le Cirque is one of those places you want to try. Continued...

Vodafone agreed to acquire Cable & Wireless Worldwide (CWW) for 1.04 billion pounds in cash, valuing CWW at three times EBITDA. The deal propels Vodafone to the second largest telco in the UK with revenues of GBP6.97 billion, behind BT with revenues of GBP15.6 billion. From a financial perspective, the deal has a limited impact, accounting for only 3% of Vodafone's 2011 EBITDA. However, given BT's lack of a mobile division, Vodafone, becomes the leading integrated telco in the UK, offering fixed and mobile operations. The deal is expected to complete in Q3 2012.
The main focus of the deal is on CWW's UK fixed-line network and CWW's business customer base, both of which Vodafone aims to add to its UK mobile network. CWW provides managed voice, data, hosting, and IP-based services and applications. The deal boosts Vodafone's enterprise offering, both in terms of access and transport infrastructure and also in terms of customer base. CWW is a major global infrastructure player: Its international cable network spans 425,000 km in length, covering 150 countries. In the UK, CWW operates a 20,500 km fiber network. Moreover, CWW has about 6,000 business customers. The future of CWW's non-UK assets remains uncertain. In our view they do provide true value for Vodafone, strengthening its global network infrastructure. Vodafone will provide further details regarding these non-UK assets later in the year.

Last week I attended Telefónica's leadership event, which is held annually in Miami, reflecting its very strong basis in the Americas. This year's event attracted around 700 visitors from 130 countries, comprising Telefónica's customers, vendor partners, and analysts. There were several external keynote speakers, like the CIO of the US government, futurologist Michio Kaku, and the chief economist of the Economist Intelligence Unit, that outlined the macro context for society and the economy over the coming 10 to 20 years. Presentations by partners like Huawei, Microsoft, Nokia, amdocs, and Samsung highlighted visions of the future from a vendor angle. Telefónica itself used the opportunity to present its own vision of how technological progress will affect society and business — and how it intends to address the opportunities and challenges ahead.
Telefónica stands out from its peer group of incumbent telcos by having revamped its overall organizational structure. The firm had already announced this new structure last fall; it effectively sets up one division that focuses on global internal administration and procurement (Global Resources), one division that focuses on emerging Internet-based solutions (Digital), and two geographically focused go-to-market-facing business lines (Americas and Europe). Telefónica Multinational Solutions is part of Global Resources and is the division dedicated to delivering services to the MNC segment.

Yoshinobu Nishizaki in his early '80s prime. Note gold rope and watch
you can't afford.
Sunday, I woke up to read the news online that Space Battle Yamato producer and co-creator Yoshinobu Nishizaki—a towering figure in the anime industry if ever there was one—had died.
It wasn't a normal death, either.
Nishizaki, who was 75 years old, had fallen into the sea from his new boat—a research vessel named Yamato—and drowned.
Nishizaki's death had occurred in the middle of a full-blown Space Battleship Yamato revival in Japan. The previous day, I edited the first review anywhere of the new live-action Yamato movie for the Otaku USA website. The author, Tim Eldred, was also in the process of arranging an interview with Nishizaki which we would have soon presented. The timing could not have been stranger.
The bad news came close on the heels of another major blow to the anime world. Summer 2010 ended with the sudden and unexpected death of director Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue, Paprika). But the feeling was different this time. Kon was only 47 years old. Perhaps his greatest works were still ahead of him. Nishizaki had already made his impact.
In Japan, the success of his Space Battleship Yamato had changed the anime industry, the music industry, heck, even the entertainment industry. And when Yamato was shown abroad as Star Blazers, it changed many lives including my own.
But who was the man who had shepherded and watched over Yamato since its origins in the early seventies? The old anime books I had collected over the years revealed two sides. Pictures of Nishizaki (and there were always pictures of Nishizaki…) showed a severe unsmiling man dressed like a businessman—the sort you would probably not want to work for—or a grinning benevolent Walt Disney-like figure shaking hands with legions of young Yamato fans at movie premieres.
The inevitable "would you trust this man to sell you a car" mug shot
from a 1978 Yamato book.
There was mention of the "Nishizaki Incident" wherein the famed producer signed a contract that denied Osamu Tezuka any income from several anime he had created; a cutthroat move that effectively destroyed Tezuka's anime studio Mushi Productions.
There were multiple run-ins with the law. Nishizaki had been sued by manga artist Leiji Matsumoto over the copyrights to Yamato. Most notoriously, he had recently spent years in jail on drug and gun charges.
No matter how one wanted to frame it, Nishizaki's legacy came with lots of baggage.
Back on the net, 2chan users were quick to jump to conspiracy theories. The elderly Nishizaki had been seen in a wheelchair of late, so why would he suddenly take up swimming? Why did it take a full 20 minutes in-between his plunge over the side of his boat and a rescue team to reach him? His assets included the rights to a massive entertainment franchise that had now made the leap to a live-action film. Could it be that he was worth more dead than alive to someone?
Even in death, Nishizaki was creating controversy and making headlines. It was a fitting end for a master showman.
The Yamato fan club membership kits that funded the madness.
Okada likens Nishizaki to a dinosaur, the last of his kind; someone who was out of step with the way that the entertainment world—and anime industry—was headed. God-like producers would be increasingly eclipsed by superstar directors and, in the case of anime, creator-run studios like Gainax and Ghibli.
Although his subsequent anime productions like Blue Noah (1979) and Odin (1986) were destined to fail and become jokes, Nishizaki would insist in playing the role of the big shot tycoon to the hilt. But when his fantasy connected the public's imagination; the result was…well, YAMATO.
And although it was the work of many hands, Nishizaki was to the franchise what Gene Roddenberry was to Star Trek or George Lucas to Star Wars. The phenomenon couldn't have happened without him… or without us demanding more. With his strange and oddly-timed passing, a great age has passed on too.
As the new live-action movie shows, Space Battleship Yamato is fated to live on, but I don't think it—or anime—will ever be the same.

Sounds like a relic from days gone bye. I would imagine this will be a whole mess of trouble to get running right. My best suggestion is to find a good reputable shop that specializes in Subarus and has experience with swaps and conversions. Drop the car off with them and throw money at them until it works right.... that, or sell the car and start over.
are you using the JDM ECU? or the USDM ECU? what year did this motor come from?
like some have already said. You HAVE to do your research BEFORE you do these swaps. A lot of JDM motors are fairly simple swaps, but that being said they are not "plug n play" wires have to be changed and things converted. Im doing a JDM swap soon too, however Ive spent countless hours researching and have someone who has done a few helping me.
Why would you get a JDM 205 anyways? Its the headache without any benefits.
who told you? The place you bought it from? what year is it out of?

Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
Those looking for a workout that will keep your body at peak performance and hold your interest may like the Supreme 90 Day workout. This workout is similar to the P90X workout that involves muscle confusion so that your body is always working and gets you great results at a faster pace. Muscle confusion incorporates new techniques constantly so that your body is challenged. You don't have to worry about your workouts being boring or becoming part of a routine. Supreme 90 Day is a workout that you continue for a full 90 days. The program comes at a very reasonable price and can be done in your home. You can get amazing results in just 90 days without ever having to leave your house.
This program comes with 10 DVDs that continually increase your performance as you progress. Instead of hitting a plateau as you might from doing the same workout for an extended period of time, Supreme 90 Day gives you results throughout by shocking the muscles. This type of program is ideal for those that want to shred fat and have a ripped muscle appearance. With the purchase of the DVDs you will receive a progress chart and a nutrition guide by Tosca Reno. An independent clinical study done on Supreme 90 Day showed that 88 percent of participants were able to shed body fat and sculpt their body.PRO

- Includes all the DVDs you need to complete the program
- DVDs come with nutrition guide
- Great for those that want to get ripped and melt fat

- Not a plan that works for those with large amounts of weight to lose
With Supreme 90 Day, your main focus is on working out. The program does include a nutrition guide from Tosca Reno so that you can watch your calorie intake as well. Reno is known for her expertise on clean eating. That style of eating includes eating five to six small meals each day, avoiding saturated fat, drinking plenty of water and always eating breakfast. Of course your portion sizes are important as well. Some of the dishes you might eat while on the Supreme 90 Day include:
- Scrambled tofu with spinach and tomato

- Braised beans
- Honey almond cookies
Exercising is the key to Supreme 90 Day. Using workouts that specialize in muscle confusion, you will receive constant results throughout your 90 days on the program. Your body can adjust to a workout if you constantly do the same activity and work the same muscle groups. If your body gets comfortable you can hit a plateau and stop seeing the results that you want. With muscle confusion workouts, you are constantly changing things so the muscles are shocked and continue working hard. The program comes with 10 different fitness DVDs that work the entire body. Each DVD focuses on a particular muscle group and is designed to give you fast results. You receive instructions what DVD to use depending on what stage you are in on the program. All of the DVDs include a full body workout that is effective and will get you results. The workouts are broken into three 30 day stages.CONCLUSION
Working out to get results can be a hard thing to do if you don't have the right guidance. Many people want to get into shape and some want to join that elite group of people with chiseled and defined bodies. You can turn your body around in just 90 days with the workout routine Supreme 90 Day. This workout program gives you a great workout over 90 days that incorporates muscle confusion. These will keep your body from getting used to the workout because things will constantly be changing. This will keep your muscles working giving you dramatic results in a short period of time. The trend of muscle confusion is gaining popularity because of the possible results. Supreme 90 Day is not a program that you would use if you have a lot of weight to lose. It can be a great program for those wanting to lower their body fat percentage and tone up their bodies.Common Misspellings

I started this program today. Wow, i am very impressed. Great workout really looking forward torwards tomorrow. Question is it ok to do the dvd more then once a day?
I think this program is AWESOME!! People need to Eat Clean to see GREAT results!
My co worker started the px90 at the same time I started this. I can tell you that I had the results well before her ( stiill do). I must say that the clean eating has played a BIG part in my results! S90 is much easier to do the px90 and the results are the same! Work hard and Eat Clean : Great Results!
Haven't started this DVD program yet but like all the positive feedback...inspiring! I bought my Supreme 90 at Dollar General for $10. I thought 'who knows if this is any good but for 10 bucks it is worth a try'. Thanks for all the encouraging feedback from those of you that really gave it a chance to work.
Great system! I loved the DVDs, on about day 65 now!
Bought the Supreme 90 DVD's at Target and made the mistake of ordering the abs DVD using the phone number for $5.99. It tries to sell you a bunch of stuff starting with a pull up bar and going on to travel discounts and "amethyst earrings." Who would want that from a fitness site? I kept saying "NO" and it said "You have declined (whatever)" but when it got to the vitamins I said "NO" and it said "Thank you." Kept going and no review or confirmation at the end of the call. Called customer service in the morning. "Your order's not in the system, call tomorrow." Called tomorrow same story. And the next day. That night I see my order on the GETORDERSTATUS website. So I call in the morning. "We can't change your order IT'S BEEN SHIPPED." Really. Before the bank paid. The website says it's on 10-15 day backorder. But it's been shipped? Sure enough despite four calls they billed me $65.96 for vitamins I did not order and do not want. DO NOT CALL THE PHONE NUMBER. Google "Telebrands complaints" or "Telebrands ripoff." I wish I had!
I'm on day 33 and so far I've enjoyed all the workout routines. My arms are starting to get tone and I'm starting to see some muscle on them. I'm sad to say that I have not lost a lb. what so ever but I'm also not a big girl. My goal is to drop at least 10 lbs. so I still have 60 days to hopefully reach my goal. I've tried many other workout dvds and so far S90 have been the best. For once I sweat during my workouts and love the feeling of getting a good workout at the end.
To be honest the eating part has been the hardest and I'm working on improving that. I don't really enjoy their meal plan so I'm just trying to eat healthier in general. But for $19.99 I can't complain much.
This program is just what I've been looking for. Tomorrow will be my 31st day and I have not skipped any days. I'm not bored or disappointed, therefore I faithfully workout following the schedule. I've done the Insanity and the Inside Out Method, and this set blows them all away.
I just passed the halfway point of this program. Its great. At the beginning, I had just enough interest in good health to start the program. But the workouts are interesting and challenging enough to help me keep going. Now, I'm researching info about nutrition and healthy eating, and trying different types of activities like swimming and basketball along with the S90D plans.. It has helped me start to revamp my life. And at a great price to boot!
I started this program 22 days ago..and I can see apparent results in my body. I had a gym membership for a year and while I did lose weight..I did not get toned and sort of hit a plateau...with this....it doesn't get boring the way the workouts are laid out...and the fact that you see results so quickly keeps you motivated...I LOVE IT!
I have gone from a size 6 to a size 4 in only 1 month. I only lost 3 lbs but I lost inches. I was already fit, spending time at the gym lifting weights and running on the treadmill but this was a different workout that combines circuit training. It was just what I needed to get ready for summer. I highly recommend.
Great program. i lost 40 pounds. i woudlnt definatelty recommend it. i tell people all the time about it. i would have paid 100 for it. i am so happy with my new body.
My fiance and I just had a baby- After having him I lost 35lbs. I'm on day 3 today...The tabata inferno. It looks great,. the workouts are VERY effective. I've already lost 5lbs and that's with a healthy diet. I'm not using their diet but alot of brown rice, broccoli and chicken. I have 40 more pounds to lose before I will be back to my old self at 110lbs. This was definitely worth $20 and after this, We are moving onto p90x so hopefully their reviews are great. Good luck to everyone. This is a great work out. Also I on my rest days I take a 30-40minute walk down the golf course. Keeping your body moving even on rest days really does help. Even if it's a short walk.
I have been doing p90x for two years and I love it. I lost two of the most important dvds and really didn't want to spend another $100 on just the cardio x and cardio intervals dvds so I bought the Supreme 90 instead. I really don't think that these two should be compared as they are. p90x is a much more complex system, allows more room for modification, has more variety, and the workouts are longer. Since I am in a more advanced stage of my fitness journey I was hoping for something to challenge me for 60 mins or more and I just didn't find that Supreme 90 fit the bill. It will work however, and although it's not p90x it's better than alot of dvd's out there. Not to mention I got all 11 dvds for the price of one which is nice. I will certaintly be incorporating some of the dvds into my p90x routine just for some variation for instance the swiss ball workout is great and totally different from p90x.
i like it
Tom Holland isn't as famous or flashy as Tony Horton or Bob Harper - but he is efficient, a good teacher, and a realistic motivator. I think I've done all of the dvds at least once, and can't praise them enough...some are longer than others, some (the Tabata Inferno, for example) are more intense than others. I never come away feeling cheated, patronized, or too sore to pick it up the next day. Highly recommended.
Im 31 tall and slender, losing weight and slimming down was not my objecive. After just 45 days my arms showed great muscle tone and gained significant size. As for the rest of my body, after 90 days ripped! Great program cheap too. Gotta go starting round 2.
I ordered online, unfortunately! Didn't realize at that time that it was available thru stores!
Online it said "See how you can get free shipping", so I clicked on that, and it turns out you have to order the recovery drink to get free S&H. It said $39.99 3 month supply, so I clicked on it to check out the details, but the order went through without any final confirmation or anything. I called and they said the rec. drink is 39.99 per month, so the way they worded it online was fraudulent. they said they'd have the order tagged to remove it and I'd have to call back to verify. I called back and they said it had already shipped, so now I have to pay S&H to send back the recovery drink. I did not like it..it's basically a chocolate protein powder. All that said, I DO love the workouts and would recommend them..just buy them from a store. I have completed week 1 and they are really great. I am a P90X graduate, and I loved P90X. I do like that Supreme 90 workouts are shorter. Cost wise..S90 can't be beat. Can't wait to see my results. The nutrition plan by Tosca seems like a lot of food for me, I can't usually lose with that much food. I'm going to do the P90X nutrition plan..it is awesome. Also the supreme 90 packaging, etc. is really cheap, but for the price, I wouldn't let that stop you. You can always put the DVD's in a case. GET S90..you won't be sorry!
I just finished day 30 of 90 Day Supreme and I am seeing results this program is a great value for the money and it is challenging !!! I am hooked got it for 20.00 at Bed Bath and Beyond best 20 bucks I've spent in a long time you get 10 DVD"s a workout chart and meal plan great value and hard workouts....
got mine at WM 19 bucks love the workouts its killing me and i considered myself to be in pretty decent shape. love the shorter more intense workouts plan on doing this a couple times over the ummer
Just bought videos and watching first one to see what it is all about and it seems like everyone is working at a different pace and instruction seems too quick for me. Am I missing something or will it be fnie when I actually do the work?

WASHINGTON – Authorities patrolling U.S. highways tend to give motorists a cushion of up to 10 miles per hour above the speed limit before pulling them over, says a survey by a group of state traffic safety officials.
This practice creates an unsafe comfort level at high speeds and is a potential safety hazard, according to the report being released Monday by the Governors Highway Safety Association (search). The group found that 42 states allow drivers to regularly exceed the speed limit before they are stopped.
"This cushion truly exists across this country and in some cases is more than 10 mph above posted limits," said Jim Champagne, the association's chairman.
"Law enforcement needs to be given the political will to enforce speed limits and the public must get the message that speeding will not be tolerated," said Champagne, who also is executive director of the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.
Since 1994, 38 states have increased their speed limit, the report said. Congress in 1995 allowed states to raise limits above 55 mph in urban areas and 65 mph on rural roads.
A study released in 1999 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (search) estimated an increase in deaths on interstates and freeways of about 15 percent in the 24 states that had raised their speed limit in late 1995 and 1996.
The survey's release comes ahead of the association's forum this week on ways to address speeding. The goal is to make recommendations for states to consider.
"As a country, if we are going to reduce the carnage on our roadways, speeding must be given the same level of attention that has been given to occupant protection and impaired driving," Champagne said.
States reported that highway patrol officers and other authorities said enforcing traffic laws has become difficult because of uncertainty in highway safety budgets, the focus on homeland security and a shortage of officers due to retirements.
Nineteen states lack a statewide database to log speed-related citation data, the survey found. That makes it hard for policy-makers to reach conclusions about the effectiveness of their enforcement efforts.
The survey said 10 states have some kind of aggressive driving law: Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Nevada, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Utah and Virginia.

(NSU NEWSROOM--Feb. 28, 2014) -The Norfolk State University Department of English and Foreign Languages will hold the second annual William Carroll Writers Festival March 25-27 at the Student Center.
The festival will feature several published writers, professors and poets who will serve as keynote speakers in five sessions over the course of three days. The keynote speakers include author Tim Seibles, horror writer John B. Rosenman, open-mic poet godchild the omen and Professor Shonda Buchanan.
The event will begin with a reception on Tuesday, March 25, at 6 p.m., Room 138C, featuring Seibles, who is a published author and local professor of English and Creative Writing.
The following day, Wednesday, March 26, a faculty reading will take place in the Student Center at noon. An open-mic session will follow at 7 p.m., and will be hosted by poet Synnika Lofton. The final day of the festival, Thursday, March 27, Rosenman will serve as the afternoon speaker at 12:30 p.m. Poets Buchanan and godchild the omen will be featured presenters during the festival's last event at 7 p.m.
The festival is named in honor of Dr. William "Dr. Bill" Carroll, a longtime Norfolk State University English professor, who authored numerous poems and presented papers on literature. He passed away in March of 2010.
Daniel Pearlman, a professor of English at Norfolk State University, said the festival will bring talented writers to the NSU community and highlight the significance of creative writing.
"When students listen to great writers, they are inspired to feel an array of emotions, from sadness to triumph through the written experiences of poets and novelists," Pearlman said. "We want to highlight the significance of creative writing so that students can express themselves through their own writing, realizing that every person has experiences which will help or teach other people."
All events are free and open to the public. All presentations will be held in Room 149 of the Student Center. For more information, contact professors Daniel Pearlman at 757-823-2901, or Dr. Gary Wilkens at 757-823-2956.

Sara Ayers creates unflinchingly intimate soundscapes using her voice: sampled, layered, looped and pitch-shifted. Combined with occasional guitar washes and a warm bedrock of molten noise, she creates richly textured sonic atmospheres that vary in tone from the haunting whispers of angels to wall-of-sound banshee wails: a soundtrack for forgotten dreams. Rhythm and News characterized as her sound as "shimmering sonic poetry," and The Kettle Black described it as "a must-have for fans of angelic voices."

Part of his unique sound comes from using home-made acoustic and electronic instruments, microtonal tunings, computer-based signal processing, chaotic systems and feedback networks. Rich began building his own analog synthesizers in 1976, when he was 13 years old, and later studied for a year at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA).

Josh Duhamel: Breakfast in Brentwood
Getting his grub on to fuel up for the day, Josh Duhamel stopped at Early World restaurant in Brentwood, California on Wednesday (January 22).
The "Safe Haven" star looked handsome in a gray Lakers T-shirt, ripped jeans, and tan boots as he carried his ballcap outside.
Earlier this week, the 41-year-old actor was in Park City, Utah where the Sundance Film Festival is taking place.
Taking time out to promote pet adoption, Josh teamed with Pedigree for the "See What Good Food Can Do" campaign. Speaking about his own experience, he shared, "I actually bought my first dog, and I got some flack from friends over it. So when it came time to find her a friend, we went to the shelter. It was scary at first because I didn't know what rescuing would involve and whether I was responsible enough to take care of one... But the amount of work you put in is nothing compared to what you get back."

Bank Lobby Website Trolls CFPBBy
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is planning to launch a new website that would post customers' firsthand accounts of their bad experiences with banks and other financial-services companies—and the banks, predictably, aren't happy about it. So what are they doing? Building their own website in response. Earlier this week, the Financial Services Roundtable, an industry lobbying group, launched CFPBrumors.com, a goofy little site purporting to explain why the CFPB can't be like Yelp or Angie's List.
At issue is a CFPB plan to increase the amount of information shared online about complaints lodged with the agency by consumers. Rather than disclosing just general information about complaints, the CFPB plans to post the actual narratives lifted from complaints filed by angry customers, complete with the names of the institutions being targeted. (Customer information will be scrubbed.)
"We think that you would have consumers that are getting the wrong impression," says Francis Creighton, executive vice president of government affairs for the Financial Services Roundtable. Although financial-services companies would have the opportunity to post responses, the group argues that privacy laws would prevent companies that are accused from effectively defending themselves against false allegations. "As an industry, we're not going to win any popularity contests right now," Creighton acknowledges. "But we do have a responsibility to protect our brand, protect our relationship with our customers."
The CFPB says it's just picking up a strategy successfully employed by other agencies, like the Consumer Product Safety Commission. "It is disappointing that some members of the financial services industry perceive their own customers' complaints as rumors," CFPB spokesperson Jen Howard said in an e-mailed statement. "Complaint narratives about consumer products and autos are published by other government agencies and provide real benefits. We would hope that honest businesses would welcome this same sunlight in the financial services market."
Along with its website, the FSR's campaign against the proposed change includes ads in D.C. metro stations and an ad buy on social media. The CFPB's period for public comment on the issue was scheduled to end today, but the agency has extended it for an extra month. In comments at a field hearing last month, CFPB Director Richard Cordray compared the online database of complaints to a mosaic: "While every tile on the mosaic shows only one tiny piece of the picture, you can step back from it and see how the tiles fit together to form the whole picture."

Third-seeded Clarkson (28-5-5) and Boston College (27-6-3) will play in the other quarterfinal game. Cornell is ranked No. 2 in the polls, while Mercyhurst is No. 8. Cornell leads the all-time series, 6-5-1. The game will be shown on The Ivy League® Digital Network (no subscription required for this game).

Its raining here today so mom and I decided to take some new photos of me for everyone to enjoy. She made sure to send copies to my rescuers too! I am sure thankful to those kind people who saved me off the streets and brought me to my forever home here with my family!! I'm so happy and loved, oh and did I mention Spoiled?? Mom guesses thats why I always have a smile on my face :)
ok, so the guys are ranting and raving about this new thing around here called snow.....well I don't like it. I want to stay in the house. I don't like snow, I don't like the cold, and it is messing up my fur. Besides I just had a bath and I'm Purty. Mommy says so. This snow stuff reminds me too much of rain , and I'm afraid of rain. I'll pass on the snow next year thank you. (besides it makes the boys act all goofy. "Men" - sheesh .

Petrol prices signal the need to prepare for change
Governments can't do much about the oil price. Politicians and the public can do much more to modify policies and behaviour to prepare for a new era of energy use.
Australians who go out in their cars this weekend and fill up with petrol will shudder at the cost. They may even mutter that the Government must do something about the price. Perhaps, though, they should pause for a moment and look beyond the figures on the bowser to the insatiable demand for finite oil reserves that is driving up prices. They might then realise that cutting fuel taxes is a counterproductive solution; it encourages Australians' dependence on oil and thus their vulnerability when oil runs out or, probably well before then, becomes prohibitively expensive.
A year ago, Treasurer Peter Costello warned that petrol prices would stay above $1 a litre. Ah, those were the days: the price is testing record heights (for the cities) of $1.40. By last September, Prime Minister John Howard was warning the Government could do nothing about a short-term price spike. Seven months later, Mr Costello is talking about the risk of a third "oil shock", saying: "This has lasted longer than anyone expected." Mr Howard hopes prices will soon "recede a little bit". It is not just the Australian public, then, that seems to be struggling to come to grips with the fact that the future of oil prices that once seemed inconceivably high is upon us. Service Station Association chief executive officer Ron Bowden this week summed it up: "You're living in a fool's paradise if you think you're just weathering a storm and everything will go back to normal. Normal is high energy prices ... $2 a litre is quite possible."
Official forecasts have proved to very wrong, as the convener of the Australian Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, Bruce Robinson, told a Senate inquiry in Perth last week. In 2002, the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) forecast an oil price of $US21 a barrel this year (it was $US18 at the end of 2001), not $US72. Its estimate of $US35 just a year ago was still out by 100 per cent. The problem, as with comparisons to the 1970s oil shocks, is that the parameters of supply and demand have changed profoundly. The Inquiry into Australia's Future Oil Supply and Alternative Transport Fuels has not attracted the attention it should, but anyone who reads the Hansard record of a thought-provoking discussion on April 11 would understand why old assumptions are unreliable. When even a Big Oil champion such as US President George Bush warns that his country must end its oil addiction, Australia should get the message. The old tyranny of distance grows along with fuel prices.
Demand, driven by China and India, is soaring, but production has been flat for 18 months. Producers are pumping at capacity, not cutting supply as they did in the '70s. Oil is being used up at four times the rate that new reserves are being found. The cheapest oil from the biggest, most accessible fields has driven global development - there has never been a cheaper, high-energy fuel - but the new sources are more inaccessible and costly to tap. ABARE still forecasts that in the next 25 years Australia will use 66 per cent more oil. Where will it come from and, more to the point, at what price?
The question of when oil production will peak (some analysts even say it has) is a highly uncertain one, but it can no longer be safely assumed that there is plenty more, at an affordable price. Australia must urgently assess the full extent of its oil vulnerability, across all industries and sectors. It must be more selective in its use of oil (for fuel and a vast range of products) and develop alternative, market-ready fuels. Some seemingly obvious answers, such as converting vast natural gas reserves into liquid fuel, may not be as cheap or last as long as expected once the world starts looking at this alternative. The US (which could use up Australia's gas in three years) and Europe have depleted much of their natural gas, and China is buying up Australian gas.
Then there is the aviation industry to consider. It has no ready alternative to jet fuel - where does that leave a nation girt by sea, its travellers, exports and imports, should oil prices also go sky-high? (Ships and trains at least can use biodiesel.) Biofuels are being widely advocated, but this is a supplementary resource. Our entire wheat crop could produce only enough fuel to match about 10 per cent of our oil use. The Senate inquiry has aired concerns about the diversion of resources should farmers get better returns from fuel production.
The question hovering over the inquiry is why has there not been more strategic planning to reduce the oil dependence that makes us so vulnerable? Politicians have not led the way in informing the public; they even offer subsidies that encourage reliance on petroleum fuels. The Howard Government has failed to deliver the policy certainty and strategies, including targets and tax incentives for innovation and large-scale investment in alternative fuels. State governments, Victoria's included, are backing huge road projects that keep commuters in cars and promote oil use. The car industry is also built around six-cylinder cars, rather than smaller, fuel-efficient models that motorists are realising are a smarter choice.
There is a convergence of many economic and environmental issues here. While some scenarios being put about may be alarmist, there are positives for Australia if it acts on the concerns driving this debate. Many practical solutions will benefit public and environmental health and enhance liveability through better urban planning. Motorists vote with their feet for public transport when petrol prices rise, and perhaps politicians might start to consider the votes of low-income, outer-suburbs residents who lack this option. An electricity-driven mass transport network is one of the most environmentally friendly uses of Victoria's vast coal reserves, particularly if cleaner generating technology is used.
Decisions about the best uses of the world's oil and alternative fuels, matched to local resources and needs, are becoming urgent. It is hard to say exactly how urgent, but can any Australian government claim to have all the bases covered? While there is no single, simple solution, one certainty stands out amid the complexity. Smarter use and conservation of a more balanced range of fuel sources is the best and cheapest way to avert an oil shock. Victorians already know how easy it can be in practice to conserve resources - we have big reductions in water use to prove it. If Australians and their leaders act now, this country can be ready when oil supplies become unaffordable or unreliable. Planning for the transition from an oil-dependent economy is one of the great challenges of this generation.

We went to the groomers today brother Dawson got a shot today so he is not feeling to great . Anyway I think a trip to the groomer means once we get home our mom puts us through all kinds of pictures .
Today she is getting ready for Halloween so we had to have picture in our costumes she made for us. We will be going to the Mutts on Parade sometime in Oct. To strut our stuff see if you think we are winners.
My day started out great we had a lot of fun playing outside had a picnic lunch . I was being my normal self looking to see what I could get into when I spied a big toad , I pawed at the toad and it jumped this looked like it was going to be a great game so I pawed at the toad again and he jumped higher what fun . Until I decided to try and catch the toad I got him in my mouth and then it was aweful he must have urinated in my mouth. I was trying my best to get this aweful taste out of my mouth, I had all this white foam trying to get rid of that taste . Well needless to say I scared my Mom she came running seeing all this foam coming from my mouth and she didn't know it was from the toad at the time she scooped me up and went running to the house with me as we got in the house she took a wet rag and started washing out my mouth . Thank goodness she didnt use soap I had enough foaming as it was she watched me and I was ok didnt get sick or anything then we went back out that is when I went back to get the toad and teach him a lesson . Mom followed me and saw the toad and knew that was what made me have a bad taste in my mouth so I had to go back in the house and she took a shovel and took the toad out of the yard . Now don't I have a great Mom. so that was my day started out wonderful and went to the Dogs .

Break out your jelly shoes, your well-worn flannel, your youthful discontent -- the '90s are back.
It's not just some fashionable truth. The classic music of the '90s is still relevant. And that's cause for celebration. Some of the most influential albums of the era are nearing drinking age, including the Breeders' breakout, surprise smash, Last Splash.
In celebration of the record's 20th anniversary, the band got together at Grand Central to recreate the whole sonic experience as authentically as possible -- down to the same damn wind chimes used in the recording studio -- and played the whole album from beginning to end.

The dream of the '90s isn't only alive in Portland. Miami came out to represent hard, some fans even bringing their original record pressings to be signed by Kim Deal and the gang. The lineup today is the same group of lovely ladies (and one lad) who put the album together in '93, originally touring in support of Nirvana on the In Utero tour.
Photo by Alex Broadwell
They hit the stage rather promptly at 10 p.m., their crunching guitars still in need of a bit of tuning. The drinkers and smokers milling around the porch sprang to attention and pushed through the heavy doors to fill the floor.
They started their set with "an oldie but goodie," a song that wasn't from the Last Splash, "When I Was a Painter" from the POD EP. Then after a couple last minute tunings and some passive-aggressive banter, they got right into it.
Photo by Alex Broadwell
They ripped through the whole record, as promised and it was just as magical as one might expect. Of course, the fans went crazy for the big hits, but they sang along mostly to everything. Between songs, the band would tell stories from back in the day, tease each other, tease the venue crew, apologize for not having the original mini-Moog from '93, though they did dig up the old, aforementioned wind chimes. We're hoping they didn't wear the same underwear.
Photo by Alex Broadwell
Not everything was the same, of course. The alt queens and king have aged, though their love for the music is undiminished. They seemed rather invigorated, even if they weren't all that animated on stage.
But then, you have to figure, '90s bands were kind of listless and absent in the first place. That's part of the charm, man.

Photo by Alex Broadwell
Musically, they sounded as tight as ever (although you might call their style more of a trudge) and Kim Deal's voice lived up to the fantasy. Our indie hearts were hit right in the feels with those pretty melodies from "No Aloha," "Do You Love Me Now," and "Divine Hammer." We got all excited and threw our hands in the air when Josephine snapped a pic of the crowd and Instagram-ed it from the drum set. (BITCH! THEY DIDN'T HAVE INSTAGRAM IN '93.)
Photo by Alex Broadwell
"You guys still doing okay?" Kim asked near the end of the record. "It's so cool to be down in Miami." We kind of got the impression this might have been one of the louder nights on the tour. Miami fucking loves indie-alt classics, bro, you didn't know?
After the last chords of their "Roi" reprise fizzled out over the speakers, they left the stage for a little break, already having promised that they'd play more hits from off the Last Splash tracklist.
Photo by Alex Broadwell
"We have other songs, too," they teased (that '90s 'tude has not been lost), heading into a five-song retrospective, mostly songs from their debut Pod and the title-track from the Safari EP. After one more off-stage break, they returned for a proper encore, playing Head to Toe's "Shocker in Gloomtown," and "Lime House."
That two-song splash was truly the last of the eve. They smiled, they waved, they seemed slightly reluctant to let it all end. But hey, maybe it's not the end. Maybe this is just a new beginning. Let's hope.
