For so long I wanted a lean, fit, defined body
No matter how many miles I ran or meager calories I ate, the soft stubborn fat on my thighs, belly, and arms would not shift… Until I completely changed my way of exercising, optimized my workouts for fat burning and explosive strength and used my simple dietary guidelines.
Now I'm devoted to helping 1000's of people – whether they're 25 or 52, busy at-home mothers or marathon-running executives, from California to Cornwall, get into the shape of their lives.
Join my online gym and we'll get you started today.
At 39 I'm in the best shape of my life and I am sick and tired of the fads and downright lies peddled in the diet and fitness industry.
It is my mission to help you see how regularly and consistently doing my short but intense workouts, combined with some simple changes to your diet can put you on course for getting your body into outstanding condition.
I'm here to tell you that whatever your starting point, it is 100% possible for you to get fitter, stronger and leaner – and probably to get in better shape than you think is possible right now.
You could shed fat and get a lean, defined, fit and agile body in just weeks from today without starving yourself, doing hours of repetitive, joint hammering cardio, or wasting money on rip-off supplements.
But just wanting it isn't enough – you have to take action!
Sculpt tight arms, lean thighs and a flat belly!
My online gym started as a Facebook group and quickly grew via word-of-mouth online to become a totally unique place where people from around the world come together to support one another to change their bodies and their lives.
I'm known for sharing the straight-up truth about what it takes and helping people find the motivation to get it done.
This is my question for you: Are you ready to do what it takes to see and feel those changes you want? Or will you continue dawdling along feeling unhappy with the condition of your body, experiencing all the ways that has a negative impact on your life?
If you're not happy with the current condition your body is in there are no two ways about it, you are not going to get those high energy levels or that flat belly, defined arms, lean thighs, fantastic feelings of fitness or whatever your main goals are without taking action.

Ten days ago, three of us traveled to Japan for a Fujitsu analyst day held in conjunction with the firm's huge customer event – the Fujitsu Forum. The analyst day was a follow-on from the firm's European event last fall. At the two events, the management team, led by Masami Yamamoto, president and representative director, and Rod Vawdrey, the president of Fujitsu's International Business, talked about the organization's vision and key imperatives:

I bought this Asus laptop and it's less than one month now. I just woke up one day, turned it on and found myself facing a black blank screen on the monitor. It could no longer load the operating system. I tried to turn it off, then turned it on again but it still could not boot the operating system.
1. Make sure that laptop is at OFF state
2. Press the ON button
3. Hold it, do not release until it will load the operating system
That's it. If that did not resolve the issue, do this:
1. Remove the battery of your laptop
2. Press the ON button for about one minute
3. Connect to your adapter
4. Press ON button
I hope that would solve your problem.

Industry insiders call it the resale industry. You may call it bargain hunting, goodwill hunting, consignment cruising, or whatever other crafty term you may have come up with. But if you visit thrift shops, you're not alone. Data published by the Association of Resale Professionals indicates that around one out of every six Americans (16 to 18 percent) goes thriftin' within a given year.
On the hunt for a great deal and maybe to help contribute to a good cause, shoppers find clothing, shoes, electronics, and home goods at thrift stores across the country. First Research estimates that there are around 18,000 used merchandise stores in the U.S., together bringing in revenues of $12 billion annually.
Thrift stores, like yard sales, have become a site not only for value hunting but for treasure hunting. Television shows like American Pickers, Baggage Battles, and Storage Wars have publicized the knowledge of locating rare and valuable items in odd places. Thrift stores are yet another place where treasures hide.
A few years back, a student is said to have bought a pull-out couch at a local flea market in Berlin. When she arrived home, she found a small painting by Carlo Saraceni worth nearly $28,000. Then there was the woman who was said to have bought a $10 painting at Goodwill. Upon entering the information on the back of the painting into a Google search, she found that the painting was valued at $20,000.
In addition to paintings, which are one of the more valuable thrift shop treasures, there are a few other items to keep an eye out for while you're out thrifting.

Couple accused of forcing pot on boys
CONNELLSVILLE (AP) — A western Pennsylvania couple have been jailed on charges they forced two boys to smoke marijuana until one passed out and the other vomited.
Kaylee Brinker, 28, of Connellsville, and Kenneth Zyskowski, 43, of Greensburg, face charges including endangering the welfare of children and unlawful restraint of minors.
The boys said the couple forced them to smoke marijuana in the basement of a South Connellsville home on April 11. The boys' ages aren't revealed in court documents, and it's not clear how they know the suspects.
The (Uniontown) Herald-Standard reported Monday that the couple faces a preliminary hearing July 17.
Their public defender didn't return a phone message Monday.

The guy who won $4 million playing online poker? He's a Cornell senior— and yes, he's majoring in economics
The guy who won $4 million playing online poker? He's a Cornell senior— and yes, he's majoring in economics
When Brian Hastings '10 was a high school student dabbling in online poker, he and his parents didn't see eye to eye about his card-playing passion. "They're pretty conservative and Catholic. They don't gamble at all. So they were kind of anti-poker at first," says the twenty-two-year-old native of Hanover Township, Pennsylvania, just west of Wilkes-Barre. "But once I proved to them that it was more of a 'feel game' than a gambling game—and that I was winning money through hard work—they kind of came around."
As Hastings told his parents, at its highest levels poker is a game of chance only in terms of what cards are dealt; beyond that, success comes from preparation, observation, experience, and instinct. "There is short-term luck involved, but in the long term it's skill," says Hastings, who'll graduate in December after taking an extra semester to complete his economics degree. "The fact that I was consistently winning money every month was pretty good evidence of that."
Let's be honest: Hastings has been winning lots of money. Last December, during a five-hour, one-on-one session against a mysterious Swedish player with a high bankroll and a penchant for risk, Hastings raked in $4.18 million. Yes, you read that right; it is believed to be the most lucrative payday in online poker history. So how do Mom and Dad feel now? Says Hastings: "They're very happy that I've been so successful with it."
Gee, ya think? Even before he made poker history, his winnings had allowed him to pay his college tuition and buy a house in Collegetown, where he sits in front of the computer and pursues his profitable passion for roughly ten hours each week. In the world of elite poker, that isn't much time. Hastings—who has a girlfriend and is a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity—actually has a life outside the game. But like a basketball phenom delaying entry to the NBA, he is often asked why he has stayed in school. "The college experience was definitely something I wanted to have," says Hastings. "I'm still not sure that I want to do poker as a long-term thing, so getting a degree will keep my options open. I like a lot of my classes, and I like to learn."
If poker is any indication, he's a quick study. Hastings began playing seriously as a junior in high school, inspired by a math teacher who competed on the website UltimateBet.com. Hastings began by depositing $50 in an online account, usually playing no-limit Texas Hold 'Em for a $10 buy-in and five- and ten-cent blinds (forced preliminary bets, which rotate around the table). For about six months, he basically broke even. "Then I began to take the game seriously, reading strategy forums and trying to improve, says Hastings, who joined CardRunners.com, a poker training website offering pro-player blogs and instructional videos. He quickly made money, but instead of cashing out his winnings, he focused on growing his bankroll and moving up in the stakes. By the end of his senior year in high school, Hastings had compiled a bankroll of roughly $250,000. These days he occasionally plays in games with blinds as high as $1,000 per hand.
In the four years in which he has balanced college and cards, Hastings has become, in the words of a columnist for BluffMagazine.com, "one of the top three online players in the world right now, if not the best." He has a minority ownership stake in CardRunners and competes on FullTiltPoker.com as a sponsored professional; he is paid to play ($35 an hour) and retains 100 percent of his rake, meaning he doesn't lose his portion of the pot that goes to the website. Even before his now-legendary head-to-head session, his career winnings had reached seven figures.
But on December 8, while playing a game called Pot Limit Omaha, he broke the record. Playing six simultaneous hands against the anonymous Swede (who goes by the online handle Isildur1) at a virtually nonstop pace, Hastings found himself down more than $1 million after the first hour. But Hastings had an advantage; like a college basketball team analyzing game films, he and two CardRunners colleagues had intensely studied Isildur's playing style. (This touched off a brief flurry of controversy, as some in the online poker community wondered whether they'd violated FullTiltPoker's rules, although Hastings was never reprimanded.) "I knew that when Isildur would lose a few pots he'd tilt—start playing more aggressively, at detriment to him," says Hastings, who claims to have further honed his skills by taking a course on game theory at Cornell. "I thought I could take advantage of that."
That's exactly what happened. The cards turned Hastings's way, Isildur1 tilted, and when the dust settled (after five hours and nearly 3,000 hands), Hastings was up more than $4 million. A percentage of the money goes to his CardRunners colleagues, with whom he often splits the action in high-stakes sessions to reduce risk—but suffice it to say that Hastings has been buying drinks for his buddies in Collegetown. He also sent his parents on a trip to Italy and has contributed a portion of his winnings to Kiva, a nonprofit that facilitates global microfinancing loans. "I was lucky in the match," he says, "but I also outplayed him pretty solidly."
Naturally, Isildur1 wanted a chance to make his money back. So in March, the Cornell senior and the Swedish mystery man faced off again. This time, Hastings didn't do quite as well. He only won $1.5 million.

Electrical boxes in attic
I have several junction boxes in the attic. The attic has loose cellulose insulation and it is quite dusty and dirty up there. Should the boxes be exposed and all insulation cleared from around the boxes?
I would think as long as they have tops on them they should be alright. Celulose insulation is treated with a fire retardent so it is not supposed to burn. The junction boxes should never get hot enough to start a fire anyway.
The boxes will not be affected by the dust in the attic. They should probably be kept visible as practical so they don't get "lost" under any insulation. They do not generate heat like a recessed light fixture would.
A buddy of mine had the a good idea for marking the junction boxes. Before the insulation went in, he put little flags near all the boxes so they stick out past in insulation. The flags were like the kind used for marking underground gas lines and such.
my least favorite insulation to find in an attic I must work in . .respirator and goggle work.....yuck
newspaper treated with boric acid I believe . .NOT good to breathe . .
and the old stuff cannot be trusted to be thoroughly treated . .so if you have any qualms whatsoever . .go to the big box store get a rol of FOIL TAPE . .like duct tape but thin metal . .and wrap those puppies . . .end of threat by fire . .now as to whatsi n the boxes as an fire hazard remains to be seen
Thanks all for some great ideas. The house was built in 1863 so its anyone's guess as to when the cellulose was put in and if it is treated. I will do the flags and the foil tape.

Devil Woman.
By Captainkodak1
Drakken sat back on the couch in the lair. It was not fair. He had all the plans made and he had everything ready. This time he would take over the world but his plans were spoiled again. But this time is was not Kim Possible that spoiled his plans, well she really did in a way but it was really the blue toned horror from outer space. Then Kim Possible tricked him into helping her stop Warmonga and Warhok. Now he was a hero, a disgusting hero. What would he do now? He would have to come up with a plan and ask Shego what she thought. That was something new. Yeah, he would ask Shego.
Shego, why did she still hang around with him. She wasn't chipped anymore. He shuddered when his thoughts went back to that night and what she did to him before he was able to deactivate the chip that was making her emotions run wild. The words "I like kissy face." still were burned into his mind as well as a number of areas of his body. Shego had been his only real partner and stood beside him when they gave him that award. She really looked nice in that dress and the look she gave him made him feel warm all over. Then that tendril decided to pop out and wrap the two of them together. She gave him a slight smile and the same look. Those green eyes captivated him, those wonderful green eyes.
Valentines was coming up and he had really never done anything for her. He never thought of her like that, but now. Maybe she would like something; he knew she never got anything from anyone. She was his assistant and it would be a nice thought. Not that she was just an assistant but more like a partner or a friend. Maybe they could be friends, but NOT like Kim Possible and what's his name. She wouldn't go THAT far.
The radio on the table started to play on old song that he always liked. Shego's cat strolled across the room at that moment. He thought back to when Shego first joined up with him and that cat showed up. He never believed to much in bad luck but everything had gone crazy when Shego had taken up that black cat of hers.
I've had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she cast
Shego had always helped him no matter what. It was like she actually cared. Like the time he tried to stop Christmas and Shego came off her vacation to find him. He turned his head when he heard the door open to the room. Shego walked in with that same strange smile on her face. She could really be evil when she smiled like that but her eyes told him something else. Normally her eyes promised an ouchie, now they looked at him with a smoldering gaze that sent the temperature in the room way up. Then he noticed what she was wearing. That outfit was NOT her standard jumpsuit.
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
He watched as she slowly walked across the room toward him, every curve of her body in motion. The sleek emerald green material of her outfit shimmered in the light of the room. She lowered the lights of the room to a soft glow with the remote that was in her hand, then flung the remote across the room. Drakken noticed she was also carrying a steaming mug of something. The aroma came to his nose and he recognized the smell. It was his favorite Coco-Moo, his SPECIAL Coco-Moo. Shego sat down in his lap and grinned as she played with his hair.
"Would the good Doctor like some Coco-Moo?"
Drakken found his voice was frozen. Her voice was smooth and sultry. It made every part of him feel warm. The smile that came with the voice made him feel even warmer. She held the mug up to his lips for him to take a couple of sips. She looked down at the mug.
"Not hot enough? Let me see if I can heat things up."
Shego dipped one plasma surrounded finger into his Coco-Moo. After stirring it for a few moments she slipped her finger out and slowly stuck it into her mouth sucking the drink from her finger. When she finished she slowly licked her lips.
"MMMmmmm, that's the best Coco-Moo I have ever made. Would Drewbie like some more?"
Drakken could barely make his head move in a nod as she shifted herself in his lap, her legs pressing into his. She raised the mug back to his lips while she gave him a smoldering look. As he took several sips she licked her lips again.
"Mmmmmm, Drewbie likes his Coco-Moo. Would Drewbie like another surprise?"
She placed the mug on the table next to him, right next to the crystal ball that he used to control several of the functions of the lairs. Shego slowly caressed it.
"Hmmmm, looks like Drewbie is going to like his surprise."
Before he could blink she had jumped up from his lap and flipped him onto the floor. She lay herself down on top of him with her hair forming a tent around their faces. He noticed her eyes, her emerald green eyes were staring down at him.
Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked into those big green eyes
And I wondered what I'd come there for
She smiled again and she slowly caressed his chest with her hands. Then bringing her face down to his she placed a light kiss on his lips. Pulling back, her face filled his field of vision. That same evil look was on her face. She had something on her mind, he had a feeling that it might be evil but he also knew he would enjoy immensely.
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Drakken lay back on the couch with Shego snuggling up to him. He had pulled the comforter that always lay on the back of the couch over the top of the two of them. He had no doubts that he would remember THIS Valentines' Day for a long time. Reaching down he pulled her hair away from her face. She lay there with a contented smile on her face. She had been out on her own when he first found her. She had strayed into his lair looking for work. He remembered that night; it had been a moonlit night, clear and bright when she had walked in. That had been the beginning of their partnership.
If you're out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighborhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Trying to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You'd better get out of there fast
Shego slowly stirred in his arms and stretched out her arms. As she brought her arms down she laid them around his neck. As he looked down into her eyes she had that same look that she had had before. That little evil grin that he knew meant something really special. What was that saying that the buffoon said? He grinned back.
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you...
This is a little story that has been on my mind for a while. The song was popular in the 70's and fits Shego just perfectly. I thought I would try something different and write something about Drakken and Shego as a couple instead of Kim and Ron. I hope that you liked it. Drop me a review. I would appreciate it.
The Captain.

Hey first off I am a new member to post but I have read a lot about coming off of opiates which I am trying to do again now. I have been on various pain medications due to kidney stones over the past year and a half but have fallen in love with >>>>>> and have been on it for over a year. I have Suboxone and I'm currently taking around 4 mgs in the morning and I have been tapering to come off of it but I am experiencing bad Restless Legs which is a given with Opiate withdrawal I know but that is what is has kept me going back to the Opiates. My buddy went to an 8 day detox at a hospital in the city and they gave him Vistaril along with clonidine to help cope with the symptoms. I was wondering if I would be OK to take the Vistaril along with the Suboxone I'm on? I know they prescribe it in the Detox center, but they are surrounded by nurses and I can't take the time off of school/work for long enough to compelety go into detox and it keeps me busy and my mind off of the withdrawals (which are almost non-existent due to the suboxone). But are Suboxone and Vistaril ok for me to take together at home? Thanks for any answers or responses and sorry for the length but i wanted to give a little background before I completed my post.
Thanks a million

A simulation algorithm is proposed in this paper for lightning transient analysis of the wind turbine (WT) towers. In the proposed algorithm, the tower body is first subdivided into a discrete multiconductor system. A set of formulas are given to calculate the electrical parameters of the branches in the multiconductor system. By means of the electrical parameters, each branch unit in the multiconductor system is replaced as a coupled -type circuit and the multiconductor system is converted into a circuit model. Then, the lightning transient responses can be obtained in different parts on the tower body by solving the circuit equations of the equivalent discretization network. The laboratory measurement is also made by a reduced-scale tower for checking the validity of the proposed algorithm.

My practice as a licensed attorney began in federal court, clerking for the Honorable James K. Singleton. During that time I developed a passion for criminal defense, and subsequently had the honor of working for the Alaska Public Defender Agency in both rural and urban settings. Ultimately, I became the supervisor of the trial unit in the Anchorage office of the Alaska Public Defender Agency, overseeing all felony and misdemeanor trial attorneys. I developed a broad base of trail experience during my time with the Agency, and am grateful for the tremendous opportunity it afforded. Now...

Queen turned the tap to open Forties Field
I have always counted myself to be one of those lucky geologists who became involved in a major petroleum province before it was discovered and stayed with it until it reached maturity.
The United Kingdom awarded its first round of offshore licences in the southern North Sea in 1964. BP was quickly off the mark and made the first gas discovery at West Sole the following year.
It was while this was drilling that I arrived on the scene – I had been appointed review geologist based in BP's small East Midlands oilfields office, from where the North Sea operation was being run.
It was not an onerous job, as I had only three traded wells to review. (UK allows licensees six years before their data is released into the public domain and therefore companies acquire it by well trades.)
So secret was BP's drilling operation that I was not allowed access to the well data. Nor was I allowed to see any maps; only the senior geologist had that privilege.
Data security was paramount but lacked a budget. I locked away my three sets of well logs with a hasp and padlock bought from Woolworths, while the senior geologist hid his West Sole material amongst the thousands of Coal Measure maps stored in eight large cabinets.
Retrieval presented problems – and some may still be there today!
Following the West Sole discovery I moved to London to undertake my review work amidst a small geophysical team that was struggling to interpret the analog seismic then being acquired.
Upper Permian salt diapirism masked reflections associated with the underlying Lower Permian reservoir, while the existence of multiples and problems of migration and velocity made depth conversion exceedingly tricky. Had the geophysicists not worked wonders, the West Sole well would have missed its target – as did a number of other exploration wells.
By 1966 exploration in the south was in full swing and others were soon making bigger gas discoveries than the 1.5 tcf West Sole field. Meanwhile BP took delivery of "Sea Quest," the first North Sea semi-submersible rig, which would allow exploration to move into deeper waters to the north.
Early mapping of the 1962 seismic northward had identified an elongated basin running north-south up the center of the North Sea. The lines were widely spaced and the only decent reflector was thought to be the base of the Tertiary. It reached a depth of nearly 10,000 feet in the center of the basin (see map left), and from a structural point of view was completely featureless.
In 1965 the UK embarked on a second round of licensing, including some blocks in northern waters. BP was offered five of these, amongs them blocks 21/9 and 21/10, some 110 miles east of Peterhead. Of all that featureless seismic just one north-south line had shown a very slight turnover. Contouring indicated a nose plunging southeastwardly into the basin running through 21/9 and 21/10.
Throwing caution to the wind we accepted these blocks and the drilling obligation that went with them.
This was in October 1965, and before any gas had been discovered in the southern North Sea.
The water depth was around 400 feet, the sea was extremely hostile and there were no rigs available that could drill in such conditions. This was exploration by the seat of one's pants.
We would never have got it through the board today now that risk assessment has been invented!
As things progressed in the south a tentative drilling program was taking place up north, both in British and Norwegian waters. Things were not encouraging. Over 50 wells had been drilled before Phillips made their major discovery at Ekofisk in Norwegian waters in December 1969. The race for North Sea Oil was on!
Almost simultaneously Amoco discovered oil in Palaeocene sands in 22/18 (Montrose/Arbroath field). Having contracted Sea Quest to drill this well it was very hard for them to keep the news secret from BP, much as they would have preferred.
By then I was regional geologist and was fully aware of what was going on at Arbroath. Fortunately we soon managed a well data exchange so that I no longer had to keep up the pretense of knowing nothing.
By now we had carried out new-fangled digital seismic across blocks 21/9 and 21/10 and the surrounding areas, and the results were encouraging because we had mapped a large low-relief closure. The Amoco well was of particular interest because Montrose was the first closure down the nose from 21/10 and, importantly, it was full to spill point.
Things were suddenly looking up but disaster nearly struck. One of our senior managers popped his head round my door after having had a convivial lunch with his Shell counterpart and said, "I don't suppose there is any reason why we shouldn't farm out 21/9 and 21/10, is there?"
I guess the expression on my face was answer enough and, fortunately, nothing more was heard of the idea.
Sea Quest quickly moved to drill 21/10-1 and, in October 1970 at a depth of just under 7,000 feet, it encountered oil bearing Palaeocene sands (just three feet from prediction; well done, geophysicists). Subsequent work showed we had 35 square miles of closure, an oil column of just over 500 feet and 4.4 billion barrels oil in place.
A field of major proportions had been discovered.
The decision to develop was taken immediately, despite the fact that no one knew quite how it could be done in what was then such deep water.
I remember a discussion about laying a pipeline to shore. Some thought it would collapse under the weight of water while others thought it would float to the surface. Such was the knowledge of offshore technology at that time. How things have changed in 40 years!
The field was given the name "Forties." "Forties" is a fishing/meteorological area so called because it occupies a large part of the North Sea that is almost universally 40 fathoms (240 feet) deep. It was ironic that our Forties Field was discovered in the only part of that area that was around 400 feet deep!
Five years later the first of four production platforms was in place and drilling had commenced. The pipeline to shore had been laid (without collapsing or floating) and an operations HQ had been set up in Aberdeen, Scotland.
All was ready for Her Majesty the Queen to visit Aberdeen on Nov. 3, 1975, for a grand celebration – during which she pressed the button that allowed first oil to come ashore.
Full marks must go to the geophysicists whose painstaking work led to the discovery of the Forties structure.
For my part I felt much gratification at being the guy that stuck the pin in the right place on one of their maps.

Financial Software
Financial Software Questions? Ask IT Support for Answers ASAP
I am running QB Pro 2010 and am current with all releases. I have downloaded transaction histories into Excel and am trying to import from Excel.
The process was being maintained on a property management system called Yardi by some folks that are not legally connected to our business - they were basically providing bookkeeping services as best they could on the Yardi system - I am not at all familiar with that system, but can inquire as to certain extract capabilies, if you think it may be possible. All transactions are still on the Yardi system.
I decided to try the Excel method since I noted the import/export capability in QB.
I've worked with PropertyWare which is also a property management system.I would ask them about the ability to export to QuickBooks. It is possible that you could create a new company file and export your Yardi transactions to that file. I looked at their website but didn't see anything mentioned.I think choosing Excel was a good choice if you plan on buying one of the third party software to try to import those transactions. Most allow you to try them out first. I would do that. But you may find that you can't import them.What do you want to do now?
I just started at this company and have been able to establish that they have solid records and transactions on QB from 2002 through 9/10. Since 9/10, the company transactions have been posted to Yardi.
My preference is to find a mehod to move the transactions from Yardi to QB and will probably utililize your suggestion on the third party software from Bay States.

Hey ladies, what is a good protective hair style for 3b/c... I was thinking about box braids
BY: LexaBella91 ( 3b ) | 3.31.14
3 Answers
I recently did a french braid as a protective style whilst traveling and it worked pretty well for me, but like KinkyWinky said just play around and see what works best for you, lots of options!
BY: klloydmajestic ( 3b ) | 4.25.14
Buns, ponytails. Play around with the part to make it more interesting. Spritz with water/conditioner mix first.
BY: KinkyWinky ( 3a ) | 4.2.14
Whatever you do, keep these in mind:
Make sure you still take care of your scalp health. Oil your scalp, don't pull your natural hair TOO tightly, and cleanse or co-wash your hair as often as you would without the protective style in it. Keep it moisturized! And don't pull your braids into styles that are too tight. This will cause friction & breakage on your ends.

357 Mad Dog Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce Review
Tags: 357 Magnum, bhut jolokia, Ghost Pepper, hot sauce, Mad Dog 357, pepper extract
It's almost Halloween time fellow Chili Heads!
It's time for a spooky rendition of a very old recipe, namely called (in many circles) HOT SAUCE! Insane Chicken.com has another great sauce for you to try…if you're not too scared or intimidated by it. It's a ghostly concoction that is guaranteed to fry the holiday demons (or other scary things) right out of you!
"Say hello to my little friend!"
Mad Dog
Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce
"It's scary hot"
I gotta say, "I love this label!" Anything that has Ghost pepper in the label or the ingredients makes me happy. As I look at the ingredients that happiness changes quickly to one I closely relate to our upcoming festive Holiday–Halloween…that is FEAR!!. Okay, first ingredient, vinegar. Surprise! Okay, quick question, who was really surprised? But the second ingredient…Pepper Extract, then a little cane juice, then comes the Ghost Pepper/Bhut Jolokia! And if that wasn't enough they throw in Habanero peppers and Peri Peri Peppers or also known as the African Birds Eye Pepper. Some varieties of African Birds Eye Peppers measure up to 175,000 on the Scoville Scale. That's hot! There are four hot ingredients in this sauce and this scares the H-E-double-hockey-sticks right out of me. I'll say right now it's going to be "Atomic"
The elixir, uh, I mean hot sauce looks very smooth in texture. There are no seeds that I can see. It has a nice brownish/red color that would definitely appeal to me if poured out on some enchiladas. I say this of course before I have actually tried the sauce. Remember, as of yet, I am not telling you to do so, just that it might appear to me as a delicious addition to a fine Mexican dish.
As I wrestle with the wrapper I can't help but ask myself, "What did I do that was so bad today that I might deserve this?" I open the bottle and take a whiff. There is so much spice to the smell it caused me to give a quick cough. I take a smaller breath and find that there is a sweet smoky smell, but I don't smell the Jolokia pepper. Bummer! I love that fruity smell. So I pour some out on a spoon. It's thick and brown…kind of like mud.
I can taste a brief moment of something sweet and then the heat attacks like I just stuck my tongue in a vat of boiling plastic! The hiccups come and try to recue me from the brute assault that is being handed to my mouth at this point but fail to relieve the pain. My mouth has begun to burn on the inside and out. I have never understood that. It's not like I smeared this all over my lips, but yet here I am to tell you…THEY BURN BABY! So, back to talking about the flavor–this sauce is too hot to taste! It may have a wonderful flavor, but it is hard for me to get past the heat—and the taste of extract. Also, as it turns out, it has a gritty texture, not smooth as originally thought. I suggest when you make chili, just wave the bottle over the pot. (Just joking!) This would work well for chili. I think the sweet, smoky flavor that I imagine is there (from the smell), underneath the heat, would compliment it perfectly.
So, in conclusion, I would give this sauce a 5 out of 5 for having that "atomic" heat and a 3 out of 5 for flavor. As for the label it would definitely be a 5 out of 5. It is creative, humorous and worth reading. So don't be afraid, have a safe holiday and this is "Atomic Eh?" asking you to
Keep it Hot and Keep it Spicy.

Ioka to fight for vacant WBA 108lb belt
By Joe Koizumi
Unbeaten ex-WBA minimumweight champ Kazuto Ioka (10-0, 6 KOs), who lately renounced his belt to move up to the 108-pound category, will be awarded an opportunity to fight Mexican Jose Rodriguez (28-1, 17 KOs), in Osaka, Japan, on the last day of the year. The 23-year-old youngster is tremendously popular in his native Osaka, where people expect him to be the first Japanese boxer that will gain the second world belt only in his eleventh pro bout. The previous WBA full champ Roman Gonzalez has been elevated to the super champ in the light-flyweight division thanks to his five successful defenses. Now that another title bout is announced, we will see no less than five world title goes on December 31. It is possible Only In Japan.

Insert all the feels emojis here, right?
Our friend Judah stopped by the #walkinlovestudio the other night and showed us just how easy it is to pair walk in love. tees with those everyday basics you already have.
Thanks for the outfit inspiration, Judah!

Ten LP Poetry Out Loud Set to be Converved to MP3
According to Tiny Mix Tapes:
As of today, De Stijl Records is making available their new digital reissue of the classic 10-LP set Poetry Out Loud, originally released between 1969 and 1977 as a sort of "magazine of oral poetry." The originators of Poetry Out Loud were two couples: Peter and Patricia B McGarry (Harleman), from Topeka, Kansas, and Klyd and Linda Watkins, from Nashville. Together they achieved a common goal of "taking poetry off the page," seeking a return to the oral tradition of poetry. As Peter McGarry said it then, "The poem on the page has no relationship to the poet. There has to be an integral relationship between poet, performer and audience."
De Stijl is sharing such sentiments by making all 10 phenomenal LPs available for download and turning poets into recording artists!
More, plus links, after the jump.

A short vacation
We are about to start working on the Winter issue, but before that, I had to go on a short holiday in Italy to recharge my batteries. Como was beautiful as always. I highly recommend to order pizza in any of the restaurants, because it is the best I ever had. I prefer Margeritha, nothing fancy, but they make it so good that it tastes better than a seven course meal. This time I also visited the city of Novara on a market day. It was fun walking between the stands, sniffing cheese, nibbling a piece of ham and just listening to the crowed. I am back, full with energy and ready to get back to work. I can promise you now, that the Winter issue will be breathtaking.

Happy Spoonday
We declare today as official Spoon Day, celebrating the first week of the release of The Spoon | Volume 1. Join us, grab a fork… or a spoon and take a bite from the lovely Esterhazy cake. Recipe is adapted from Nigella Lawson.
[col1_4 formatter='1']
- 12 eggs
- 500 g sugar
- 500 g baked hazelnuts
- 5 tablespoons of flour
- 300 g butter
- 2 tablespoons of apricot jam
- 250 g fine white sugar
- lemon juice
- 50 g dark chocolate
[col3_4_last formatter='1']
- Separate egg whites and yolks. Beat stiffly 12 egg whites while gradually adding 250g of sugar. When finished turn the mixer at very low and add 5 tablespoons of flour and 250g of grounded hazelnuts(the secret is to bake the hazelnuts in the oven even if you buy them baked for the smell of the torta comes from them, bake at 180 degrees in the oven for a couple of minutes or until the faint smell of hazelnuts fills the kitchen or when they start turning dark brown)
- Peel away as much as you can blackened part cut out 5 round papers from the baking paper.
- Turn the oven to 160 degrees and then spread one fifth of the egg white shaum on the paper, put the paper in a tin pan-the same size as the round paper (approximately 5-6 tablespoons) and bake for 14 minutes.
- In between baking the layers always put the shaum in the refrigerator. Repeat 4 times. Put them on the even surface without removing the baking paper once they have baked.
- For the filling: Mix 12 egg yolks and 250g of sugar with the mixer 1 minute and then put the pan that you have mixed in in another one larger filled with boiling water (steam cooking) and on medium heat constantly stir for about 15 minutes.
- Let cool and then add 300g of softened butter and 170g grounded hazelnuts. Take 2 tablespoons of this cream and save for later.
- On the plate where the torta will be served removing first the baking paper put the first layer and then spread one forth of the filling,layer…filling…layer.. filling..layer..filling.. layer The last layer should be set with the even side up.
- Bring 2 tablespoons of jam to a boil with one teaspoon of water. Spread the apricot jam across the top of the torta (this prevents the icing from melting into the cake)
- Put the torta in the freezer for 10 minutes and during that time mix by hand 250g of fine white sugar (grounded) tablespoon of lemon juice, tablespoon of oil and a teaspoon of butter while gradually adding drop by drop hot water.
- Stir constantly until you get a smooth shiny white icing. You may add more lemon juice or oil. Remove the torta from the freezer spread the icing on top.
- Melt the chocolate (steam melt) with a teaspoon of oil and pur into a small plastic bag (10x10cm) cut a very small opening and decorate the top of the torta with straight lines 3 cm apart. With a toothpick go across the lines in the other direction making the "brackets"
- The rest of the hazelnuts- 80g ground just a bit leaving the big chunky peaces. The two tablespoons of filling you left behind spread on the side of the cake and with hands glue the hazelnuts. That is it!

"I used a photo I had taken and lightened for the backdrop - it's beautiful! I've tried doing this card on other sites, but either the photo quality was sub-par or I couldn't manipulate it the way I wanted. This goes all the way to the edge of the paper, which is what I wanted. I also love being able to do a little something in the back of the card. One wish: I'd like to be able to justify the writing to the bottom of the print space. I figured it out myself but for everyone who's super persnickety about spacing, it would be nice to have a way to do it automatically. Overall: I love these cards. Beautiful quality. Totally getting them from here again."
"Loved this design, so made it mine by the easy personalization process. I received so many compliments passing these out at a recent conference."
"I wanted a clean, good looking business card without too much to distract from the information and this card turned out great. The quality, paper, and printing are top notch and my clients like the look."
"The text was easy to read. The cardstock is of very high quality. My customers loved the cards. I got a lot of comments on the cards."
"I'm a graphic designer and have used your templates with great success. You have a great selection of type for many different styles and I have never been disappointed in the final product. Customer service is particularly good and the card stock is top grade. I even got a thank you note. You guys are a class act. Thanks."

Nav Software Update (3-1/60) Particulars
I found this on the 'bmwnav' group on Yahoo Groups (originally posted on 9-26-02 by 'cfoote2667'). I thought it might be useful to some people here with Nav. I had mine updated today at Crevier.
There is not much to say here....except that they talk about 9/2001
vehicles being the only ones that can use the v.20 CD. We know that
to be incorrect, as all 2001 vehicles in the BMW lineup had the MK
III unit to begin with. Therefore, I have no idea what BMW is
getting at -- I have the 'split-screen' software on my 2001 without
any problems. But, here's some info for what its worth....
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This Service Information bulletins supersedes S.I. B84 01 02 dated
January 2002.
designates changes to this revision
Navigation Operating Split Screen Software V20.0
From September 2001, all vehicles with "split screen" navigation
system will now be using Navigation Operating Software V20.0. Except
E65/E66 vehicles prior to 9/2002, which will continue to use Nav CD
V19.0. If Nav CD V20.0 is loaded into an E65/E66 prior to 9/2002 the
CIP program will prompt you to "replace the Navigation Computer". Do
not replace any parts. Reload Nav CD V19.0. All other non "Split
screen" navigation vehicles produced prior to September 2001 will
still use the Navigation Operating Software V17.1 and cannot be
updated with V20.0. For information regarding Software V17.1, refer
to SI B84 11 97 dated September 2002.
Note: When programming an E65/E66 from 9/2002 production, Split
Screen Software V20.0 must be used in conjunction with CIP V3.0 or
Changes/Improvements for Mark III system from September 2001
The "Set" screen shows the software/hardware version in the form
of "3-1/60" or "3-2/60". The numbers have the following meanings:
first digit 3 indicates 3rd generation navigation system (MK3);
second digit 1 indicates top navigation Mk3c color screen, or 2
indicates radio navigation Mk3m monochrome display; the last 2
digits 60 indicates the software status of the graphics component in
the navigation computer (MMI) Machine Man Interface.
Split screen display is possible, i.e. it is possible to split the
display of the on-board monitor and support map routing together
with the direction arrow routing.
It is possible to set whether the cursor moves on the map (same as
V17.1 and older software versions) or whether the cursor is
stationary and the map moves.
"Zoom function" for destination entry.
When entering the destination, the directory is constantly shown in
the display, making it possible to change the directory faster.
Further information is contained in the owner's manual for the
navigation system, which is provided with the vehicle.
To load the new software in E46, E39, E52, E53, E85, follow the
procedure below:
Turn ignition to position 1 (Term R). Do not cycle the key or
perform diagnosis while installing the new software. Make sure that
the power supply is stable, i.e. do not switch on any electrical
Activate "GPS-Navigation" and acknowledge the screen disclaimer by
pushing the rotary knob.
Remove the map CD from the navigation computer by pressing
the 'eject' button.
Insert the Navigation Software CD V20.0 into the navigation computer
(the CD-ROM V20.0 has P/N 01 59 0 141 891 index "G").
Follow the onscreen prompts to finish loading the software. The CD
will eject when finished.
Press the rotary knob and restart the navigation system.
Reinstall map CD
To load the new software in an E65, E66 follow the procedure below:

Turn on ignition to Term R or Term 15.
Using the iDrive enter into the Navigation Menu.
Remove the map CD
Insert the Navigation Operating Software CD V20.0 into the
navigation computer.

When the Coding is finished the CD will be ejected and the
message "Installation Successful, Remove Software loading CD and
press OK", at this point select "OK" with iDrive Controller.
The Navigation system will then "reinitialize".
When prompted insert map CD.
To identify that Navigation software CD V20.0 has been installed
follow the procedure as outlined below.
Enter the Service Mode of the Control Display
Select "MOST Devices"
Scroll down and select "Navigation"
Scroll down a few pages until "Software Version" is displayed
Software Version should be 7.1.0
To replace the navigation computer:
When replacing a defective MKIII computer, a configuration signal is
required to allow the new computer to load the correct software for
its respective application. This is generated by using DIS coding
program "Coding ZCS C30.0" or higher and the Navigation System
Operating Software CD V20.0.
Connect DISplus/GT1 tester to vehicle.
From DIS Coding/Programming select "1 ZCS Coding".
Select appropriate engineering series (E39, E53, etc.)
Select "4 Conversion".
Select "3 IKE/Kombi".
Select "2 Language".
At prompt, "Is the CD_ROM present?" select "Yes", but do not
insert CD20.0 in to the navigation computer yet!
First select the main language (preferably English) and then an
additional language (the choices are: French, Italian, Spanish,
Select announcer's voice gender (preferably female).
After activation of automatic coding, the DIS tester tells you to
follow the instructions on the monitor for Navigation Operating
Software CD V20.0 installation.
Place CD V20.0 into the navigation computer CD drive.
Once loading has been completed, remove the CD and then confirm
completion by pressing rotary push-button on the monitor.
Turn ignition off for 10 seconds and then turn ignition on and
perform functional check.
After this step has finished, code the navigation computer in the
regular manner using the path "1 Recoding".
Do not switch ignition OFF during software loading procedure. Do not
use any other Navigation Operating Software CD except CD V20.0.
If the navigation computer is already configured for a navigation
system (Radio Nav, or Top Nav), the procedure described above is not
necessary during the subsequent operating software updates.
The following problems may occur during the software loading
The message "CD defective" appears on the display screen.
The message "Fault during programming" appears on the display
The message "The system is restarting" appears on the display
The installation process has stopped and the display screen is blank
and the power LED on the navigation computer is off. The CD will not
These complaints are usually the result of a faulty Navigation
Operating software CD.
For points 1-3 for error messages that appear on the display screen
try loading a new Navigation CD.
For a CD that will not eject from the Navigation computer follow the
procedure below.
Remove the Navigation computer
Unplug the voltage supply (blue connector).
Reconnect the voltage supply and immediately press the eject button
repeatedly until the CD in the drive is ejected.
Insert a new Navigation CD and restart the installation process.
*Used for vehicles produced after September 2001 only.
*Used for E65/E66 produced after September 2002 only.
Copies of the CD V20.0 were shipped in September to every BMW Center
through the Automatic Tool Shipment Program.
darn. so my May 2001 build e46 M3 with MK3 nav is limited to usethe Navigation Operating Software V17.1.
I guess its better than nothing

Fernando Alonso shaved three points off the lead in the drivers' championship at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday highlighting the weekend as a positive one despite starting the race with a chance to emerge as the leader.
Chief rival Sebastian Vettel started the 55-lap race from the pit lane as his Red Bull was found in breach of regulations after qualifying ended on Saturday, providing the Ferrari driver an opportunity to eat away a significant amount of his 13 point deficit ahead of the weekend.
But the defending champion clawed from the back of the field at the Yas Marina circuit to finish third behind the Spaniard, limiting the damage significantly with two races remaining in the season.
"I'm happy with the way this weekend turned out," insisted Alonso. "It's true that with Sebastian last, there was an opportunity to reduce the gap more significantly but it's equally true that our performance and our grid position could have seen us lose points in this Grand Prix.
"I repeat, they have the quicker car, we have the better team. Everyone fights with the weapons they have at their disposal: we will not manage to turn our car into the quickest of the pack with a wave of a magic wand, but we will counter their performance with the perfection of our team.
"The simulation put us somewhere between fourth and sixth and we finished second, therefore once again this was a more than perfect race, running at the maximum from start to finish," he explained. "Sure, there were a number of unexpected retirements and two neutralisation periods that did not really come at the right time or suit us, but these are things beyond our control. We just had to stay focused on our race and that's what we did.
"Tonight I will go to sleep thinking the glass is half full rather than half empty. We must be proud of what we have done, the work of the mechanics at the track and the engineers who tried to fine tune the car," he added. "I fought from start to finish: I could not relax for a single lap."
Teammate Felipe Massa meanwhile managed to haul in six more points for Ferrari, with the Italian team extending its gap to McLaren for second place in the constructors' championship to 22 points.
The Brazilian however reckoned he could have done better had he not spun when duelling with Mark Webber as he "lost a lot of places at a crucial point in the race".

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs
Virtual Assistants are home-based professionals who perform a wide range of office functions for one or more clients without setting foot in the client's office. In the outside world they are Personal Assistants or Administrative Managers - in the on-line community they are VAs.
Virtual Assistants own their own businesses; they are entrepreneurs who understand the pressures their clients may be under. They are experienced at working 'virtually' and you avoid the additional cost of office space, full time staff, and benefit payments.
Virtual Assistants are focussed, organised, quick to learn and will be a partner for your success.
Virtual Assistants have the ability to work independently away from the normal office environment. They provide services such as secretarial, administration, book keeping, desk top publishing, marketing, business planning, (the list is endless) - to businesses large and small, people who travel frequently and people who are too busy for the day to day running of an office.
Virtual Assistants are not temps, not employees but self-employed professional administrative assistants who can cater to the needs of the individual and tailor their services to provide top-notch administrative support to enable the client to focus on core tasks rather than time consuming administrative chores.
Virtual Assistants are also available to work on individual projects, not simply the long-term client relationships. They are there when you have an overload situation.
Virtual Assistants work on the detail leaving the client free to concentrate on the bigger picture.
A Virtual Assistant can help you run your business more efficiently.
You need a Virtual Assistant if:
- You need an assistant but your space is limited or you don't need a full time employee.
- Your workload exceeds your current staffing levels and deadlines are in danger of being missed.
- You want to present a more professional image but lack the experience in the administrative arena.
- You create more ideas than you have time to implement yourself but like to delegate details and follow-up.
- You travel and need a contact person who can represent your business in a professional manner while you are away.
- You have seasonal or periodic projects that you don't wish to delegate to a variety of 'temps'.
- You don't want to lose that personal touch as your business grows.
- You only have a few hours of work per day, week or month.
You may need a VA if you are a:
- Journalist
- Consultant
- Entrepreneur
- New Start-Up Business
- International Business
- Executive
- Salesperson
- Coach
- Small Business
- Student
To the small business person the Virtual Assistant can mean the difference between failure and success. Unlike the larger corporations the smaller business seldom has the space or resource initially for the extra employee to take the weight out of their ever-increasing work-load.
For the international businessman a Virtual Assistant is the vital link with clients when travelling or when that special report or presentation is required. Your Virtual Assistant can handle your diary, regular administrative tasks and be your link when you are out of the office.
For the consultant, professional or coach a Virtual Assistant will handle your reports and administration and enable you to spend more time marketing or enjoying the extra hours available to you.
Students, let your Virtual Assistant help you to present those term papers and thesis in a truly professional format.
You don't have to do it all, just contact your
Select 'Join Us' from the menu bar above, and follow the instructions.
or click here to join.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Virtual Community
There are so many reasons but here are just a few examples:
- You will gain your independence
- You are able to enjoy building your own company and choosing who you wish to work for - when you work for a variety of clients you do not have to say yes to everyone who offers you work.
- The variety of work you will find yourself doing.
- The challenge of learning new skills and growing in confidence as you see your clients growing their businesses.
- More time to be available for your family and friends or to pursue your own hobbies.
- You will have flexibility of working hours.
- No office rules - or office politics!
- No commuting!! No 9 - 5!! No 'power dressing'!!
You need to fulfil most of the following criteria:
· You like to work on your own and value your independence.
· You need to feel committed to your future and understand that starting a business takes time and effort but is both personally and financially rewarding in the long run.
· You are adaptable and will enjoy working in a variety of fields.
· You like to be challenged by new ideas and new people.
· You have confidence in your own ability and don't need constant reassurance from work mates.
· You are focussed and will be able to give full attention to each individual item of work.
· You can prioritise and will be able to ensure that the important items, both within the family and your business, are taken care of without stress.
· You have an openness and are willing to adapt to new requirements and learn new skills.

we've received information that dr faith harding is the key to unearthing forbes burnham "millions"
Faith Harding was in possession of some of Burnham Millions which she kept for him before he died. she was his stash. when Burnham died, she held on to the money which was in cold hard cash. over the years there were a a bitterness over the withholding of the cash, now, a Grand child of Burnham is using treats against Harding. he wants the cash
stay tuned
Over time the people of this country have been hearing about their corrupt government. For example, there was talk that Forbes Burnham had stolen so much money that he was the fifth richest person in the world. The accusers quoted Forbes Magazine. [forbes and forbes magazine. some people say it was jet. yet others say ebony!]
Those were the days when information contained in foreign magazines was not readily available.
It turned out that there was never such a publication. Today, more than 25 years after Burnham's death there is no evidence that he was ever a wealthy man.
