Cesc Fabregas says he will only play against Manchester United if he has fully recovered from his hamstring injury.
The captain has been troubled by the problem for some time and suffered recurrences against Sunderland and Braga this season. Fabregas would love to lead his side out at Old Trafford on Monday but he doesn't want to risk further damage.
"I'd like to be fit for the Manchester United game but we'll see," Fabregas told the Official Matchday Programme. "I'll only be there if my hamstring is completely fine, because I don't want to go up there and see it recur.
"With regard to my comeback we'll have to wait a little longer before we know anything.
"I've been outside running for a couple of days now and it feels good – the sensations are OK but I haven't gone at 100 per cent yet. For now we keep working."

Don't be afraid of what life has to offer you.
If you believe that life is worth living,
your belief will help create the fact.
The barrier between you and success
is not something that exists in the real world.
It's simply composed of doubts about your ability.
Your only limits to your realization of tomorrow
will be your doubts of today.
If you want to be successful,
start thinking of yourself as being successful.
What you believe yourself to be, you are.
Success is a state of mind.

As news outlets, notably MSNBC, CBS, and CNN, all tout gun control, it's hard not to accuse these news outlets of exploiting tragedy to promote a left-wing political agenda when a new Washington Post/ ABC News poll shows that gun control isn't a top political priority with the American people.
Examining the results of a new Washington Post poll, the Post's Chris Cilizza in his The Fix blog noted today that Americans believe the national debt and the federal government's chronic deficit spending are greater issues than gun regulation. In fact, only 28 percent of Americans, including a paltry 41 percent of Democrats, feel the gun control issue requires urgent attention:
Overall, one in three adults said that "enacting stricter gun control laws" should be of the highest priority for the president and Congress. But that number is somewhat inflated by the 53 percent of self-identified Democrats who felt that way. Less than one in five Republicans (19 percent) and just more than one in four independents (27 percent) said enacting gun control measures should be the highest priority of the federal government.
What was the highest priority? The economy, naturally. Overall, 68 percent of adults said dealing with the economy was a top job for Congress and the White House – a priority that crosses all political party lines.
Even so, editors at the Post decided to pick the data that best pushed the liberal narrative. "Most support gun control," blared the front page headline to the January 15 paper about the Post/ABC News poll. "Poll finds Newtown affected attitudes," insisted a subheadline, again, even though gun control is far from the top priority among poll respondents.
What's more, while the Post poll found that 55 percent of Americans favor the NRA's suggestion of armed guards in America's schools, the paper buried that statistic deep in the article, along with the finding that poll respondents "with children at home are more apt than those without to want armed guards at schools, but [emphasis mine] they are no more or less likely to support a range of other initiatives."
In other words, parents of young children are not significantly more pro-gun control or anti-gun control after Newtown as their fellow Americans without kids. The way the media are spinning things, you'd think the political climate has shifted such that parents of small children are most of all clamoring for more stringent gun regulation.
It's all too clear that the major media outlets in the U.S. are clamoring for gun control, buoyed by President Obama's reelection and ghoulishly capitalizing from day one on the horrendous atrocity wrought by a disturbed young man who killed his own mother to acquire the weapons he used to kill innocent children and their teachers.
The Washington Post is no exception, even when it's reporting on polling data that undercuts the narrative of a wave of popular support for fresh gun control that would not have stopped the Newtown massacre in the first place.

Ashley Hebert Says "Good Morning America"
Posted Tuesday August 2, 2011 9:51 AM GMT
It was an exciting season finale on "The Bachelorette" last night, and this morning (August 2) Ashley Hebert was in the house at "Good Morning America."
The 26-year-old babe was joined by her fiancé J.P. Rosenbaum at the ABC Studios in Times Square, and they both looked blissful as they posed for the paparazzi.
And it's been a busy time for Ashley, as she made an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last night (August 1).
Considering that Kimmel films in Los Angeles, Ms. Hebert must have caught an early flight to get to the Big Apple this morning.
Enjoy the pictures of "The Bachelorette" Ashley Hebert and JP Rosenbaum at "GMA" (August 2) and Ashley at "Jimmy Kimmel Live" the night before.

didn't we JUST have a story about that out of Oakland? guy only had $17 and they killed him anyways.Quote:
The mere fact that he is targeting you for robbery is he expects to get something. Now if you come up empty handed, with no cash or anything of value to offer, it wouldn't be the first time a thug who operates with a double digit IQ doesn't just get angry and kill you just out of plain meanness and frustration.

I watch her from afar....I dare not try and get close to such a beauty..perhaps I shall send her flowers,but I fear my shyness will not allow me to sign my name....Oh but she is so beautifur......sigh!
2 special kitties,Hobo and White Socks,though not actual brothers,the love, bond and caring they displayed for each other,all the way till the end,taught many,what love is....
The first to be found,was Hobo,A tiny gray kitten,running up the leg of his new chosen owner,away from cars,trains(hence his name) away from the cold rainy night,into a warm home,filled with food,treats,and love.....He grew and grew,into the most beautiful long haired kitty I had the pleasure to be the owner of,Many fell in love with his soft,quiet nature,his affection;How many times,friends would beg,"Can I have him"....we just laughed with a soft but polite,..."no,he is ours"...
Awhile later,I had the pleasure to find at my work( we were on site property managers)....White Socks,as we quickly named him,a half starved,tiny reddish patch of fur....aside from the fleas and dirt,he could not walk,dragging his backside,and,a tail that clearly had trouble written on it....after a brief bite of food,and kitten replacement milk(something that was a general staple in our home) a ride to the vet for this tiny guy.....I had told them,I found this little thing inside one of our tenants unit,and had wanted to keep him,but,clearly he needed medical attention...before I knew what was going on,cameras came out,reports were being made,and of course,my curiosity was peeked,...with me asking what was going on!...I was told, My little guy was clearly abused and a clear case,that they have seen many of in the last few months,a rash of abuse that I could not fathom....but,they told me the horrid findings...kids,or,more like punks,putting firecrackers into kittens bottoms,and lighting them,hence why his tail was burned and rotting off,hence,why he could not walk...I had to sit down quick,before I fell down....I asked,what could be done for him,for now,I wanted him more then ever....Surgery was the answer and after that,just time and good food,and perhaps the 3 week old tyke,would have a chance...
Many months later,our little foundling,ran into another major situation,loving to explore,hide,and play...early morning as his daddy got ready for work,how much fun it was hiding and trying to stop,his daddy from tying his shoes,and the best place to hide,became a death trap....a double rocker/recliner,and as daddy got up,the springs got the kitty,that horrible sound forever is etched into my mind,as his daddy tried to pick up this monster of a double unit recliner,I was struggling with the steal spring,trying to release it,that was killing my baby,choking him,till right at the moment of his last breath and fight,I freed the spring from his neck,and he fell into my hands,where my next moments of thinking came from,I do not know,but I barked out orders....thinking,he must be kept still,in case of broken bones;"grab the wooden cutting board",and "get me some cloth",as I was ripping apart cloth,to tie him upon this cutting board,and before I knew more,I was doing CPR,breathing life back into this little one,making deals with him,with God if only he will breath,open his eyes,,and,....my prayers were answered,and before I knew it, he opened his eyes slowly...quietly laying there,a few more breaths,and a few more tie downs,not taking any chances,since he was not moving,I had feared the worse....I had his daddy hold him,as I got dressed,and I called our vet,which was still closed ,I was told to rush him to our animal hospital,which we did,everyone was waiting for us......they took over with his care.......and hour later,I see him being carried out,in the arms of one of the doctors.....looking at me,giving me a meow.....My doctors gave him a fine going over,and aside from a small dislocation of his jaw,which was not enough to even warrant surgery,he was fine,we can take him home....him and his now crooked little face....I was given by staff,much kudos and asked to help with a seminar being held there the following week, showing owners,CPR training to save pets...
5 years moved along,absent one recliner,and brothers were always together,slept,played and found ways to torment us with their crazy antics....and we loved every moment....and then,one day,Hobo fell ill,doctors checked him over,but could not find what was wrong,yet in 2 weeks time he has lost half his weight....a week after that on a Saturday,White Socks,suddenly became ill too,now we were both baffled and confused,2 kitties sick???
We quickly out ruled possible culprits,because they could never get to any of them,so we knew,it was not a poisoning,and since they could not,at that time find anything wrong with Hobo,we had no idea. We had thought,perhaps White Socks just had an upset tummy,but no. Monday morning,they both went into the pet hospital, for 5 days,both remained in intensive care,forced fluids,IVs drugs,testing....and results,Hobo's kidneys stopped working,White Socks had developed a small tumor, so small,it could not be felt, they had thought,with drugs and treatment,White Socks could go home that Friday,they had thought,being home may help him...They were wrong,he would not eat,get up,nothing,I called early Saturday morning,and was told to bring him back in,the small tumor,by Monday morning had ballooned into a massive sized one.....
We knew then,neither of our boys will be coming home again,and we both knew what we had to say and do....I had only one stipulation,they had to go ...together...brothers must stay together.
That Monday afternoon,two brothers laid side by side, in one of the rooms,with staff doing what they had to do,one doctor for Hobo and one doctor for White Socks;Hobo reached over and laid his paw,upon White Socks face......both closed their eyes,and slept.
Not a dry eyes remained in that room,not even the staff or Doctors,they too,had witnessed a love,between 2 brothers.
Their ashes to this day,remain,together.....2 brothers together.

Southport Guardian
Southport has a more than pathetic interest in the loss of the Titanic in that several of the crew and passengers had local connections. On Saturday we had to record the names of Mr. W. Ennis and Mr. J. Walpole, members of the crew, as being amongst the lost, whilst amongst the saved were the Misses Bonnell, of Birkdale, passengers, and Mrs. K. Gold, a stewardess. The name of Mr. William T. Brailey, a member of the ship's orchestra, which has earned universal fame for its heroic action, has now to be added to the list of those who have lost their lives. Mr. Brailey was at one time a member of the Pier Pavilion orchestra, after which he left to go to a musical college to complete his education. Subsequently---and there is a sad coincidence in the fact---he was a member of the orchestra on board the Carpathia---the rescue ship---and only transferred from that vessel prior to the sailing of the Titanic. Mr. Brailey had a large circle of friends in Southport, where he was extremely popular. He was also engaged to be married to a Southport young lady. When in Southport he was interested greatly in the subject of aviation, and was associated at different times with Mr. Paterson, of Freshfield, and Mr. J. Gaunt, of Southport.

Beyond the Cult of Youth
Brian Culhane won the Poetry Foundation's 2007 Emily Dickinson First Book Award, which provides $10,000 plus publication and promotion of a manuscript for an American poet over 50 who's never before published a book. His winning manuscript, The King's Question, was published by Graywolf Press last fall. Culhane, whose poems have been published in the New Republic, the New Criterion, Antaeus, and the Paris Review, teaches film and English at Seattle's Lakeside School.
Tim Appelo: The glory of England is that TLS reviewers are capable of using the phrase "one of our more promising 50-year-olds."
Brian Culhane: Not in America! It tends to be 30. The cult of youth: Delmore Schwartz, Sylvia Plath. I think there's something to the idea that a poet, in particular, burns with emotion, and we associate that kind of emotion with the 20s and 30s. The Yale Prize is very prestigious, and the door clangs shut at 40. You get a lot of antsy mid-30-year-olds looking at the clock. So the Poetry Foundation award really is one of the few that recognizes that some poets get off the ground more slowly.
You earned an MFA at Columbia, and studied the epic and the history of criticism for a University of Washington PhD. Your poetry is grounded in the classics. On your way to writing about that subject, did you go through other distinct literary phases?
A Miltonic one in my 20s. His sonnets led me to write early poems that were gnomic and dense. One falls under the spell of these great presences. I wrote a long poem called "The Bridge" in allusive, crabbed lines on a metropolitan theme and handed it to my roommate. He said, "Didn't Hart Crane write a long poem called The Bridge?" Stanley Kunitz was my thesis advisor. He'd scrawl on a poem, "This is Lowell. The worst of Lowell." I also had the good fortune to have James Wright as my teacher: a puffy face and slit eyes and big thick glasses—a minatory presence, even though he was a gentle man. I'd written an exam on a typical Wright question: "It has been said that poetry is no better than push-pin. Explain." Wright was quoting Jeremy Bentham, who argued that both poetry and push-pin, a child's game kind of like the modern pick-up sticks, are equally valuable if they produce the same degree of pleasure. On my exam, Wright wrote, "Cool-hane, no one will ever take your ideas seriously until you learn how to spell." I'd gone to Manhattan private schools when they didn't teach spelling.
Some of your last lines are intentional echoes or quotations, like "Sailing to Byzantium" in "The King's Question" and Pound's Canto CXX in "The Last Canto." In the latter poem, you move from Pound's "stoneweight" book in your lap to a painter of bison on the rock wall of an Altamira cave.
The endings of poems are mysterious: Frost's idea of a poem as an ice cube on a skillet riding on its own melting. The melting in "The Last Canto" was rather strange. It set me thinking about the artist as a very ancient figure, who was as misunderstood in the age of the mastodon as any modern artist. It's not Pound who's saying the words at the end of my poem, even though I'm quoting his final canto ("Let those I love try to forgive / What I have made"). It's rather the artist who turns to his friends and family, who often rue his calling, to say this apology.
"The King's Question" refers to Croesus, who (Herodotus says) asked the oracle at Delphi what would happen if he invaded Persia. The oracle said he'd destroy a great empire—only he didn't realize it'd be his own, not Persia. But in your poem, Croesus's question is lost; we don't know what it was. Why?
The past throws out to us lifelines, messages. What is left out is interesting. The poem imagines that we didn't ever hear that story, and that would make sense—Sophoclean dramas were all lost, except for a handful. Why did I change what we know from Herodotus's story of Croesus? Most of his history is taken from oral tradition, which can easily change in the retelling. Maybe Herodotus got the story wrong. Was that really the question Croesus had in mind? Is that what we would ask the oracle in our own lives? How many questions do we have in us, great ones?
Today, we're not writing questions and sticking them into the wall at Delphi anymore. In the Manhattan neighborhood I grew up in, the correlative for the priestess talking with the vatic utterances was the psychotherapist.
I love that the shrink is knitting.
That brings up Clotho.
One of the Three Fates of Greek mythology, spinning the threads of life. Spinning your fate. Your fate seems to have been spun by libraries.
I like libraries, and tend to do my best research when I'm not researching. I spent years in a library researching a dissertation on the epic. Once in a while I'd simply wander the library and pluck a volume, and become inspired—it was one of those aleatory combinations of time, place, and book. All first lines are accidents.
Many of your poems read like a scholar's reverie.
You write in "Library":
That fable
Of an infinitely circular Library of Babel
Borges saw as self-referential: nooks
Corridors, dead ends, twisting stairwells:
Bibliographic cargo cults and infidels.
You go on to compare libraries in this poem to the supernatural cargo cults formed by remote Pacific islanders awed by World War II GIs dropping crates full of wonders from afar.
I'm misconstruing, comically from one perspective, tragically from another. What we cast off, what washed ashore because of the wars we fought with machines, these people could make no sense of. I'm also alluding to the coming tide of change, which the islanders can't do anything about.
The poem "Library" is also about dividing up a late father's library in his apartment. Is it autobiographical?
Yes. My father was a Disney animator. He worked on the company's first two feature films, Snow White, and Pinocchio. My dad animated the dwarfs marching home in Snow White. My mother met my father in Hollywood. She was a radio actress working with Cary Grant and Orson Welles. She was terrific at foreign accents.
A great influence for a poet.
She read Walter de la Mare to me at seven: "His horse in the silence champed the grass of the forest's ferny floor." I just loved "champed," a terrific word. The way she recited it was very theatrical. And I was smitten.
Your father must've cast a big shadow.
He was born in 1908, had four wives, and had me very late. He never graduated high school, but he taught himself enough classical Greek to read the first page of Homer. He had a massive library. So he was an important influence, but he was also, um, daunting.
The poems show it wasn't smooth sailing. But I want to talk about your formal aspect. I was trying to work out the rhyme scheme of "Library."
It's haphazard.
The last stanza is ABCAC(off-rhyme)DDC(off-rhyme). Justify if you can, sir, your rhyme scheme.
Well, every rhyme scheme is arbitrary. Frost is right, it's sort of a game, and it's a good game to have as a poet.
Your rhyme scheme has to do with what you want to emphasize, right? "Petrarch's Epistles," "Father whistles," "lackadaisical firstborn," "years I've left to mourn." But it isn't a formal tum-pum.
That's right. Poets who are drawn to form—such as Anthony Hecht or Robert Lowell—and who write longer poems tend to have intricate stanzaic structures, such as Lowell's "Mr. Edwards and the Spider." It's like watching a very good juggler. Like W.C. Fields, who was famous for juggling a cigar box and a bowler and a cane. I don't like to slavishly follow my own choice for a rhyme scheme. The rhyme should come out of the feeling in some way.
You're the spawn of Hollywood, and teach film. Is your art cinematic?
Great question. I guess I'd like it to be. My poem "At Wallace Stevens' Grave" draws on the early history of film.
For the wonderment
Of those watching the flicker of the first projector,
And sucking in their breath and letting out their breath:
Our modern frieze.
In early films, people were fascinated to see time go backwards, to see the diver enter the pool, and fly, in reverse, back onto the board. I was fascinated that narrative was a relatively late development in film.
How did Wallace Stevens enter into it?
I find the disavowal of narrative in the modern long poem interesting. You're in the middle of one of Stevens's long poems, and you think: Where was the beginning again?
How old or new is the work in your book?
"Estrangement in Athens" is my first published poem, which makes it about 30 years old. About a quarter of the poems were written in the last four years. I'm happy that no book came to fruition until now. The book is a lot better for being winnowed. There's a pressure on poets to publish too early.
Now that you've done this, does that change your practice?
No. The muse is an intermittent visitor. If I could speed up the process, I would. Maybe when I'm 75 there'll be another prize—for the second book of a poet who's not published a second book until he's 75.

The Wizard of Oz has become one of the most famous films of all time.
Pieces from the world's largest collection of its kind are now on display at the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland.
"The exhibition which is "The Wonderful World of Oz" from the collection of Willard Carroll of Tom Wilhite is an exhibition that really highlights all of the many diverse aspects the influence of the Wizard of Oz has had on American society," said David Troup, communications director at the museum.
Carroll lives in Camden and he started collecting anything Oz when he was a little boy. His collection contains over 100,000 items.
"From the actual hour glass used in the movie, to the dress worn by Judy Garland during the two weeks of testing for the film, to the last remaining costume from the film itself, which is one of the wonderful munchkin costumes from the Lollipop Guild," said Troup.
"I didn't realize going through the exhibit there was so many books and stories leading up to it," said Spencer Stonemetz, a York resident.
The movie is celebrating 75 years, making it perfect timing to be on display here in Rockland.
"So, we're seeing the Wizard of Oz on tv, in ads throughout. This is the only exhibition featuring selections from the movie that's taking place in country at this time," said Troup.
People here seem to be loving it.
"Our admission numbers increased by over 70% in the month of December over last year. It's the wonderful yellow brick road that's leading right to the small town of Rockland, right here in Maine," said Troup.
The exhibition runs through March.
Willard Carroll will be at the museum Thursday.
They'll be playing an hour-long radio broadcast from 1950 of the Wizard of Oz.

Financial Aid and Scholarships for Undocumented Students
Mark Kantrowitz
October 08, 2012
Undocumented Students
If the student is undocumented, opportunities for financial aid are much more limited. Undocumented students are not eligible for federal student aid, nor are they eligible for state grants.
The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAM Act) might allow some undocumented students to normalize their status and qualify for federal student aid. The DREAM Act would also repeal section 505 of IIRIRA, allowing each state to determine whether undocumented students qualify for in-state tuition. The latest version of the DREAM Act, however, drops the provisions granting the students eligibility for federal student aid and in-state tuition. But this legislation, which was first introduced in 2001, has not yet been enacted.
There is a section of the FinAid site that discusses financial aid and scholarships for undocumented students, including whether the state allows or denies in-state tuition to undocumented students. The College Board publishes a Repository of Resources for Undocumented Students, which compiles a list of state policies.
The Fastweb scholarship matching service matches scholarships according to their citizenship requirements, so undocumented students can search for scholarships that do not require them to be US citizens or permanent residents. See also Scholarships for Hispanic and Latino Students.
The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) offers its own MALDEF scholarships. Other resources include Latino College Dollars and the Salvadoran American Leadership & Educational Fund.
Need Money to Pay for College?
Every semester, Fastweb helps thousands of students pay for school by matching them to scholarships, grants, and internships, for which they actually qualify. You'll find scholarships like the Course Hero's $5,000 Scholarship, and easy to enter scholarships like Niche $2,000 No Essay Scholarship, and internships with companies like Apple, Google, Dreamworks, and even NASA!
Join today to get matched to scholarships or internships for you!

The Aztec Diet
Chia Power: The superfood that gets you skinny and keeps you healthyTop Rated Diets of 2017
"The blood of most people on a classic, carb-loaded Western diet has become a poisonous, angry stew of altered hormones and elevated blood fats, inflammation, cholesterol and sugars." This comes according to The Aztec Diet: Chia Power: The Superfood That Gets You Skinny and Keeps You Healthy.
Author Dr. Bob Arnot believes that foods like pizza, bagels, burgers and soda cause our blood sugar levels to spike, making us feel fatigued and sluggish. These minor symptoms eventually result in more serious illnesses and diseases including stroke, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, Alzheimer's and in some cases, even death.
The Aztec Diet offers a solution: By eating the diets of the Aztecs you can break this cycle of bad eating and kill your cravings, brighten your mood, and melt away pounds.
The book touts that Aztec foods are "the healthiest foods on the planet and fueled one of the most powerful empires in history." These foods include beans, corn, turkey, fish, vegetables, fruit and super grains including amaranth, bulgar, quinoa and chia seeds.
Written by author, physician, fitness enthusiast, endurance athlete and medical journalist, Dr. Bob Arnot, The Aztec Diet is designed to maximize the amount of nutrients you take in every day without requiring hours of your time.
The meal ideas and recipe shared are easy to throw together, including Arnot's chia seed blueberry breakfast smoothie which he claims takes 60 seconds to prepare and boasts an abundance of essential vitamins and nutrients.
The key ingredient in The Aztec Diet is the chia seed. The book notes that chia has eight times more omega-3 fatty acids than Atlantic salmon, the most in any whole food; six times more calcium than milk; three times more iron than spinach; and two times more fiber than brain flakes. Not to mention, it has 15 times more magnesium than broccoli and four times more selenium than flax seed.
The Aztec Diet is not only designed to be simple and safe, but effective. Arnot claims the Aztec way of eating will keep you fuller longer, thanks to chia seeds, which naturally expand to seven times their size in your stomach.
The diet also allows you to eat more and weigh less by eating the right foods and cutting the ones that aren't doing you any favors, like refined pasta, pizza and fried foods.
Arnot also promises The Aztec Diet will help your body absorb nutrients slower, which will help further regulate the rise of sugars and fats in the blood after meals. These collective theories are based on scientific research conducted by Dr. Vladimir Vuksan, which found that high doses of chia decreased appetite 60, 90 and 120 minutes after eating. The study also found that chia proved to decrease the usual rise in blood sugar that follows meals rich in carbohydrates.
The book includes a list of which carbs to spring for and which to avoid, all according to a ranking system of 1-10 (healthy carb load); 11-20 (light carb load); and 21+ (carb bombs).
The diet is broken into three phases: Phase 1: The Chia Challenge; Phase 2: The Accelerate with Lunch; and Phase 3: Real Life Aztec Style. The first phase is designed to kick start weight loss, the second to help you adjust to the diet and incorporate more healthy foods into your everyday eating; and the third to help you maintain your Aztec way of life and overall achieved weight loss.
In addition to a clearly-defined daily eating plan that spans two weeks and includes breakfast, lunch and dinner; the book also boasts nearly 100 Aztec-friendly recipes designed by chef Charlotte Hardwick. These recipes include homemade almond milk, turkey burgers, mashed celery root, and flourless almond muffins.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- Written by a bestselling author, physician and endurance athlete
- Based on scientific research
- Includes detailed meal plan
- Includes nearly 100 Aztec-friendly recipes
- Boasts promising health benefits
- Calls for fairly simple ingredients
- Chia seeds can be expensive
- Can be somewhat option-limiting
The Aztec Diet is founded on the principle that Aztec foods are "the healthiest foods on the planet," including beans, corn, fish, vegetables, fruit and super grains like amaranth, quinoa and chia seeds.
The diet is broken into three phases:
- Phase 1: The Chia Challenge
- Phase 2: The Accelerate with Lunch
- Phase 3: Real Life Aztec Style
The first phase is designed to kick start weight loss, the second to help you adjust to the diet and incorporate more healthy foods into your everyday eating routine; and the third to help you maintain your Aztec way of life and overall achieved weight loss.
In addition to a clearly-defined daily eating plan that spans two weeks, the book also boasts nearly 100 Aztec-friendly recipes designed by chef Charlotte Hardwick.
These recipes include homemade almond milk, turkey burgers, mashed celery root, and flourless almond muffins.
If committed, dieters should have no problem feeling satisfied, energized and healthier sticking to the Aztec diet.EXERCISE
Arnot believes in intense workouts over everyday tasks like climbing the stairs or gardening, claiming they do not provide the same health benefits or burn nearly as many calories as intense bouts of exercise.
His recommended amount of exercise includes daily workouts with the exception of an "easy day" on Saturday. Every other day includes activities such as interval training and bike riding, with the emphasis being on elevated heart rate and calorie burn.CONCLUSION
Overall The Aztec Diet seems safe for anyone trying to lose weight and/or achieve a healthy lifestyle.
The theory backing the diet is founded on scientific research as opposed to theory. We found it very approachable with a detailed meal plan and nearly 100 Aztec-friendly recipes. We also loved that the emphasis is on nutrition as opposed to just losing weight.Common Misspellings

A short story about the bottom line, with help from some LR Hunting Regulars
One thousand, nine hundred and eighty seven yards away a six by six finishes raking a small pine tree and stands broadside, peeing on his back legs for a few seconds.(I put this in for Darryl C.). Five hundred and thirty yards from your blind a huge Alberta whitetail buck leaves the shadows and approaches a scrape (for Dave King...). Four hundred yards away a wary coyote sits on his butt and yaps at you (been there a few times, right Tim Behle). Two hundred and seventy five yards across an arid pasture a gopher stands up and munches on a weed (this probably takes place in sunny Alaska, back of Brent's house...). One hundred yards away your target has four shots in one hole and you chamber shot number five (sound familiar, both Chris's). At forty yards you can hear the pounding hooves as a seven by seven elk gets your scent and charges away through the poplars - in moments he will cross a cut-line and you will get one shot (suspect that this is one of Jerry Teos recurring dreams). At twenty-five yards your target has nine bulls-eyes - you place the tenth .22 long rifle match cartridge into the chamber (Steve Shelp has probably been in this situation a few times). The setting sun hi-lights every whisker on the bloodsoaked face of the huge black-maned lion as he holds down a huge impala with one taloned paw while he pulls the willing lioness into position for a Kalahari-quickie, as Len positions the 600 mm Nikon for the shot of a lifetime...(gotta include something nice about the boss, right!) [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
All of these situations share one simple requirement - a well-aimed shot. All of these situations are doable if the shooter has good equipment and adequate skills. All of these situations can result in a lot of joy, pride and satisfaction. They can also become bad memories in a heartbeat. One miniscule movement, applying a few pounds of weight on the trigger sends your bullet on its way. The result can be a grin or a frown, simple as that.
Trigger control, the process of causing the trigger to release a shot properly, is the final act in the aiming and firing of the rifle (or any firearm). We might describe trigger control as breaking the trigger smoothly and following through. Trigger control is an absolute necessity if we want to shoot well.
How does one master trigger control? One piece of advice is - do not jerk the trigger. Jerking the trigger is one of the most insidious reasons that our shots go astray. Insidious because in the excitement of getting the shot off we frequently jerk the trigger without realizing that we have done the nasty deed. How many times have you heard someone say that he had a good shot but hit "just" over, under, behind or where-ever. He probably jerked the trigger.
I have found that regardless if my target is a steel plate at 1000 yards or a balloon at 100 yards on my electronic moving target system, trigger control makes for hits. ALL types of shots require a smooth trigger let-off and follow-through. There is only one way to achieve trigger control and that is by shooting, the more the better.

Re: A short story about the bottom line, with help from some LR Hunting Regulars
That makes me want to send afew rounds 1500 to 2000 yds downrange at my property tomorrow.
That is of course, if the weather holds and we don't get the rain we are suppose to get.
Will have to wait and see. I'm getting cabin fever.
Have to haul corn to the deer from the sportsman club tomorrow, may as well include some shooting too?
I'll be sure to work on my trigger control.

Re: A short story about the bottom line, with help from some LR Hunting Regulars
Haven't fired a round since deer season which isn't much being it only took one shot [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] .
I use to shoot an indoor 50ft rimfire league from the offhand postion, to pass those long snowy PA winters, but that's the extend of my competitive rimfire experience.
But it's funny you bring up rimfire with my name, because I'm a very firm believer in practicing with a 22 to keep your edge on trigger control finely tuned. I tried to wear out my dad's 22 growing up and shooting almost daily with it. Where we lived I could shoot almost 360 degrees around our house without a problem. And lord knows I've sent a round or 2 down my own 22 since leaving home.
When I got out of the Marines fter 4yrs, I wore a 4th award rifle and 3rd award pistol expert badge on my uniform and fired on our detachement's rifle/pistol team and went to the division matches one year down at Camp Lejuene's Stone Bay ranges. The reason I bring this up, is because of the big emphasis the USMC puts on your rifle qualification status (or it seems it use to) to even stay in the Corps. If you went "unq" (short for unqualified) on the rifle range in any one year, don't expect to be on the promotion list and you probably wouldn't be able to re-enlist. You were basically on your way out. But yet you only went to the rifle range to practice proper marksmanship and qualify once a year. You got 4 days of dry firing and a couple of across the course matches to get tuned back up from being rusty for a whole year and then it was time to qualify on the fifth day. For an military organization to put such a high emphasis on marksmanship, their once a year marksmanship training lacked big time in my opinion.
Yes we fired our weapons several thousand times in field training for night fire and various training exercises, but it wasn't scored or anything. So it wasn't marksmanship training per-say. Just hit that area target(read as a burned out tank hull or something) out there 300m, learn your field lessons for the day, and get back to the rear for a shower and some good hot chow..... maybe [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
I kept telling fellow Marines that had a hard time qualifying to go out to the local public firing range and rent a 22 and practice. I worked with one Marine doing this and he qualified something like 20 pts higher the next time he qualified with his M16 after shooting approx 1 full brick of 22 shells with my coaching a week before he was due to get out to the range. Was the 22 he practiced with anything like the M16? ......not even close. But the basic principles still applied to both rifles. Breathing, trigger control, etc, etc, should be instinctive when you're on top of your game. And that only comes by practicing correctly and A LOT, just like you said above. It's trigger time and there is no substitute. I think the 22 is way under-rated in this department by the general shooting/hunting public and unfortunetly the USMC as a whole (outside of any of their organized competition teams) in my opinion.
My $.02 worth. But it's time to try and get back in the groove though, because match season is fast approaching. I can't complain about the job taking shooting time away in these tough times though..... I still have a job so I've got to appreciate what I have for now.

Re: A short story about the bottom line, with help from some LR Hunting Regulars
I shot a group yesterday, one of the smallest I shot in fact, I pulled on the last shot, only I pulled it into the group this time! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I know that shot would have opened the group by half an inch at least! I pulled low left and the shot hit high right!
That was the only shot I broke, that I noticed, that wasn't clean in 27 rounds. Sometimes you get lucky. I hate my 3.5# trigger, better than it was but still horrible.
I shot a poor bird at 250 yards with my brothers 10/22 a few weeks ago. He told me he was seeing the bullets through the 32x Pentax and to try it and look for myself. It took a few rounds to see them but I walked them into the "feathers", yep at 250 yards with a 22. They couldn't believe it, neither could I!
I had alot of practice that day with a scope that turned into a giant peep sight when the battery went dead on the Aimpoint 2000. That was fun, not too hard, but definatly challenging.
I agree, without perfect trigger control you're simply wasting your time.
Get the best rest you can get, squeeze without torquing the gun, be surprised but follow through.
I get alot of my practice from mainly working up loads in several rifles, trying to make sure the load is the one producing the error and not me. I've just ended up being a better shooter as a result. If I had always just went out to plink, I doubt I would have learned the things necessary to break a shot the right way. The aim to shoot the tightest groups possible at LR has always made me double my efforts too.
My wife used to always ask me why the groups on my targets (just under moa) I came home with weren't good enough, she sayed they looked fine and asked, what more could better groups do for me. Well needless to say, she can explain to anyone what moa means now, and why a 1 moa gun just won't always do at long range, even on moose. She has a pretty thurough understanding of ballistics by now as a result of my brainwashing [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img], you know I have to explain all this stuff to her so she understands why I need all the new expensive toys. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Trigger time is what she needs most. Most her time has been spent in Brents classroom [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img], but she applies it at the range and kind of sees things in perspective more and more every time out.
I like your story Steve, that's pretty interesting. You'd defintely think they'd give you all the time in the world to practice shooting, more than most people get to shoot anyway. I never would have guessed it.
Oh ya, Boyd, you want to stop posting groups like those, my wife sees those while I'm on here and she'll laugh even harder at mine! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
No seriously, she says you're a damn fine shot. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I do have target envy though. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: A short story about the bottom line, with help from some LR Hunting Regulars
I get to see just how badly my trigger and breath control has degraded since Mid-December tomorrow.
We're shooting a 1K prone/F Class match in the morning and I plan on load testing in the afternoon. I can't wait to be behind a trigger again. It's 308 and 6.5x284 all day tomorrow [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
From the little bit of dry firing I've done in the last couple days,, it's gonna be an interesting day. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: A short story about the bottom line, with help from some LR Hunting Regulars
I've been practicing a different type of trigger control the last two days, and it's killing me.
Javalina season opened yesterday. I haven't seen a Javalina in two weeks now. But the danged coyotes the last two days keep walking out in front of me. 4-600 yards most of them. They pose for several minutes, then slowly wonder off.
I almost lost control this morning. I watched a pair of them work their way across the field past me. I held the crosshairs on one's shoulder for several minutes. I even got the safety off and felt the coldness of the trigger under my finger. If I'd had anything else in the chamber but a 162 AMax, she'd be sitting on a fur stretcher right now, but I hate the way those Amax's treat fur, and let her walk away.
If I can kill that coyote from here, Will you walk out to get him?

David Darling
In the '70s, Darling divided his time between working in Nashville, working as a studio musician with country artists including Johnny Cash, and touring the world with the Paul Winter Consort as a soloist, composer, and singer until 1978. 1979 saw his solo debut as well as the beginning of his collaboration with Ralph Towner, with whom Darling founded the chamber jazz group Gallery.
After Gallery ended in the mid-'80s, Darling went on to work with artists as diverse as Glen Moore, John Clark, Spyro Gyra, and Bobby McFerrin. During those years, he also collaborated with ECM producer Manfred Eicher in a series of dark, introspective works. The '90s found Darling continuing to challenge musical boundaries. His score for the 1992 Wim Wenders movie Until the End of the World drew great acclaim, as did his solo recordings of that decade, including 1993's The Tao of Cello and Dark Wood, which feature Darling's renowned improvisational skills. At the turn of the century, Darling did two albums for Relaxation Music's Musical Massage series: Musical Massage: In Tune and Musical Massage: Balance. He also recorded Cello Blue for Hearts of Space in 2001. ~ Heather Phares

freind request on fb
I know I know not another one of these..... But just for kicks lets see what you guys think.
I was at an event today with some friends and they were accompanied by this other cute Asian girl that I have seen around but never met. By that I mean we have had similar classes but i was never so inclined to talk to her.
Anyways, we are in a building and my two dude friends are walking ahead of me and I'm chilling with the two girls (one is a friend, other is Asian I don't know) behind. They(2 dudes) get to the door of the building, open and just walk out. Me I open and hold it for both of the girls (as I always do) So the cute Asian girl looks kinda surprised then she turns to me and says, " Hi, I don't think we have formally met, I'm ______" I take her hand and pause for her to notice the pause and introduce myself. Right after that the room I was heading to came up so i just waved good bye to her.
FF to this afternoon I check my FB and I have a friend request from her. So I accept, and now what? how do i capitalize in this situation? Do I write something on her wall or just wait? piitb?

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Hello, Thanks for choosing Justanswer.com! I look forward to helping you with legal information today.
Do you know who the person was here in the US that hacked your account?
Happy to answer any more questions if you have them. If not, please don't forget to accept my answer before you leave. You will be charged nothing further for doing so. Thank you!
Iam an Indian citizen working in Dubai, UAE for the last 4 months.
I dont have her current address nor can i get them. She used to stay in Virginia and then i think she moved to Arizona and again moved to another state. In such cases how to make a complain on phone when i dont know her current state or county.
All i have is her phone number (and i dont know if its still working) and her Virginia address (from where she moved maybe around 6 months back)
How much will a private investigator cost? I know they work on hourly basis
How much will it cost to file a criminal case.
Pls note the photo which was sent by her to other people is no longer available as it is deleted by all parties concerned.
All i have is the IP address from where she sent the mail.
Also how can i obtain the information regarding how many times my email ids were accessed from US location
I don't know how much one would cost. Like attorneys, all prices vary. You would have to call or email some PIs to find out. I would start in the states where you think she was/is.
It does not cost anything to pursue a criminal case. The federal government or the state pursues the criminals over here. You would just be a witness in the case. You may have to come over here to testify.
Even if photos are erased, they can still be found on hard drives. Plus, cases can still be won by testimony without actual evidence.
The information you want will have to be subpoenaed from the access provider. This can be done AFTER a criminal or civil case is filed.
So tell me how to proceed? Iam still not very clear
Should I 1st file a case in the FBI or hire a private investigator and then file a case on phone and then how do I file criminal cases?
You can go ahead and file a complaint with the FBI. That is the federal government. Since the picture was sent across state lines, the federal government also has jurisdiction here. The FBI has a lot to handle, obviously. So your case may not be extremely important to them. So if you are really serious about pursuing this, you would want to hire a PI.
Hire the PI to start tracking down where this woman is currently living. You would want to hire one where you think she was LAST. Once you find out where she is, contact the local police department and file a criminal complaint. This will start the criminal process.
We also have a civil process here in the US, which means you can also sue her in civil court. This is DIFFERENT than the criminal charges, but you can do both. You would want to hire a civil law attorney for this in the county where the woman resides.
Thank You Lady. Now the clincher and all these are in mail only as the suspect and me used to communicate in email only and we had met only once in India.
She has accepted her crime. I have that in email. In August a mail was again sent to me where she said that she will kill me if i dont meet her. My computer was hacked after that i guess. I had confronted her and she said that she is sorry and tat she will kill herself... but i know she is lying.
Please don't forget to press the accept button before you leave. There will be no further charge for this but it is the ONLY way I can get credit for helping you. Thank you!
Just help me on this...
Is there any other agency in UAE or the US embassy in Dubai, where I can lodge a complaint against a US citizen? Will the US embassy help in such cases.
1 final question although your answers have made it very clear.
If a file a police complaint here, will it help in any way? give definite answer
You're very welcome. Happy to help!

- - What do you answer to.... (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/chat-room/485378-what-do-you-answer.html)
What do you answer to....
the questions of store/ bank employees that ask, "so, how is your day going so far?"
Or, "What are you going to do this weekend?"
I often find myself lying when I say, "Oh, I am doing fine" or "I don't know yet."
One day, the morning my dad died, I got a question like that and I couldn't keep myself from saying," I will tell you what my day is like, honestly. My dad died this morning so I am miserable." End of the conversation.
Can't we just go back to greeting? Would it be rude to say that I am uncomfortable with these kind of questions?
So are employees required to ask these more detailed questions nowadays? Is it regional or also in the rest of the country?
Just curious and hoping to hear from people who work in retail or banks.
Lol I asked a man how his day was once and his reply was " I caught my wife with the neighbor"
I always answer, "Still Breathing."
Oh no!! And how did you respond, Missleslee?
I work at a hotel, my boss wants us to say those kinds of things to be friendly with the guests so they come back. I don't say it all the time and I can usually tell when someone is in a bad mood so I don't ask them. Honestly it just sort of comes out as a whole greeting like "hey, how are you today" because I say it so much. It's not even really that I'm super interested all the time I just try to give good customer service lol. I get asked all the time, too, I usually just say doing fine or tired if I'm not feeling like talking too much.
My boss asks me this every morning. Granted he is a great boss, he always walks around to greet everyone on the team and asks how we are doing. He actually cares, is not saying it just to be polite. Some days I say, "Do you REALLY want to know?" and we laugh. If I'm really not feeling well and it may be relevant to my work (like I don't need 100 interruptions or 100 new things dumped on me that day) I might actually be honest and say I have a migraine and am not feeling well. Most of the time I say, "I'm doing well enough."
I work in customer service, I work for an IT HelpDesk so part of the day I am answering phones or helping people in person. I usually don't ask how they are doing. My phone greeting is "[name of HelpDesk], this is [my name] speaking, may I have your name please?" and go from there. Sometimes a customer asks me how I'm doing and I'll always say "fine" or "well, but busy" if it's someone I already know.
70 Attachment(s)
Lol I used to do desktop support. It was less formal though)))) I like what I'm doing now much better, I can be all grumpy and no one cares. I also get to stay home a lot
For the op. I always say 'beautiful' or 'amazing' in a sarcastic kind of tone. Only because usually people don't care and I don't like empty talk. I also hate people that don't know how to shut up or that always cut others off. Or, my most annoying one, when they raise their voice to talk over someone.
I also hate it when people tell stories with 5000 unnecessary details. I tell them to speed it up lol. And one more. When they insist on finishing the sentence even though it's obvious what they're saying.
I guess this is why I don't have any friends lol.
Oh wow lala I do all of those things lmao!

Foreign maid pay hike to be postponed: MOL
By Joy Lee, The China Post Friday, July 11, 2014, 12:05 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Ministry of Labor (MOL) yesterday promised not to implement the policy to increase the pay for foreign caregivers until coordinated measures have been completed.
Kuomintang lawmaker Yang Yu-hsin (楊玉欣) yesterday invited a mother of four surnamed Su, who has three disabled children requiring constant care, to a press conference and accused the government of ignoring the demands of families that have disabled members.
Su said she was unhappy after reading media reports stating that the ministry is scheduled to increase the pay of foreign domestic helpers in Taiwan and set down administrative guidelines that will ensure that all foreign caregivers have at least eight hours of rest daily and one day off weekly.
"The government cannot carry out policies without considering the effects and consequences they will bring to everyone," said Su. "Our incomes did not increase, but somehow the government plans to raise the salary of the foreign caregivers."
"Who will be there to help me take care of my children when the foreign caregivers enjoy their days off?" asked Su. "I understand that foreign caregivers have to get rest, but for us, we do not have such privilege."
Su wept and said that the cost of hiring foreign caregivers is high, but they still have to pay employment security fees into a specific account for an employment security fund for the workers.
Yang said that there are about 740,000 people in Taiwan who are not able to take care of themselves, but there are only 40,000 Taiwanese caregivers, who usually request higher pay compared to the salary requested by foreign caregivers.
"Based on Su's case, the government's policies regarding foreign caregivers and the long-term care system have never been friendly to people who need the help," said Yang. "Regulations such as foreign caregivers not being able to work here for more than 12 years or foreign caregivers having to leave Taiwan for one day after working here for over three years are what increase the burden for those families with disabled members."
Official Response
Lai Chia-jen of the Ministry of Labor said that the long-term care system cannot be based only on foreign workers, so the labor ministry and the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MHW) will work together to come up with coordinated measures that will ensure the protection of the rights of families with disabled members.
"I understand the struggle and difficulties that families with disabled members have to face," said Lai. "However, foreign caregivers also deserve the rights that we enjoy in Taiwan, so it is crucial for the government to provide care services that will help protect the rights of both the families with disabled members and foreign caregivers."
Lai also said that the ministry will not ignore the rights of those employers who hire foreign caregivers when carrying out policies concerning them, and the officials will not launch those policies unless everyone can reach agreements on them.

Fewer donations than expected were received in June and the first week of July, the Red Cross said.
Platelets a key clotting component of blood often needed by cancer patients - must be transfused within five days of donation, so its important to have a steady supply on hand.
Nationwide, donations through the Red Cross were down approximately 10 percent in June, resulting in about 50,000 fewer donations than expected.
June is one of the most challenging months of the year for blood and platelet donations, as regular donors delay giving while they adjust to summer schedules, the Red Cross said.
Also, high school and college blood drives account for as much as 20 percent of Red Cross donations during the school year, and donations from those who usually give at these drives drop by more than 80 percent when school is out for the summer.
In addition, this year the mid-week Independence Day celebration reduced the number of blood drives then.
