The active ingredient in the prescription diet pill Phentermine.Top Rated Diet Pills of 2017
Adipex Phentermine (Adipex P) diet pill is a prescription diet pill that is used to help people lose weight who are obese (have a Body Mass Index of 30 or higher) or have serious health risks due to their size. It is more commonly known by the brand name Phentermine. It works as an appetite suppressant. It is taken in conjunction with certain food requirements and an exercise program. Adipex P is only used for a few weeks (less than 12 weeks) since its effectiveness decreases with prolonged use.
The drug is taken one time each day either in the morning or 10 hours before bedtime, because of its known effects of interrupting sleep.
You should take Adipex P only and exactly how it was directed to you by your physician.
Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2017?
- Prescription Phentermine has been approved by the FDA
- Clinically shown to aid in weight loss in obese individuals
- Long-term use can cause irritability, skin problems or sleeping difficulties
- Can become addictive
- Various and numerous side effects are associated with Adipex
- Be sure to read the lengthy disclaimer regarding health conditions that do not support taking Adipex P, such as high blood pressure, anxiety or heart disease
- Side effects include raising blood pressure and heart rate
While taking Adipex P, you are to follow a sound diet of balanced meals and snacks. You are also to avoid alcohol while you are taking this drug. The drug is most effective when it is accompanied by a healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise regimen.EXERCISE
It is recommended to follow a regular exercise routine when taking Adipex P. Be sure to discuss with your physician first and get his or her approval. Given the stimulating effects of Adipex P and its effect of raising heart rate and elevating blood pressure, following an exercise plan that has been suggested by your doctor is highly recommended.CONCLUSION
Adipex P is a prescription weight loss drug that may help in weight loss, but it also comes with a host of side effects and risks. Since it can only be used for a small amount of time, the individual is then responsible for learning how to eat sensibly once the prescribed amount of time for taking the drug is complete. Given its side effects, its drug interactions and its risk for addiction, Adipex P must be taken under the guidance and observation of a medical doctor.Common Misspellings

Its been 9 days and 11 lbs off..Im ecstatic...My doctor has me on a 1200 calorie diet if Im lucky I can consume 800..Im never hungry and sometimes forget to eat..its not giving me the energy but just found out my intestines dont absorb b-12..so now I have to give myself b12 shots daily so I think it will help with the energy..I am working out an hour every other day..I want to lose at the least 35 more lbs.
ok so I have been on this pill for a week now. I have not weighed myself since the first time at the dr. I feel so much better though and can do more things, I exercise every other day, and drink lots of water. I use to drink up to like, 3 cokes a day, I have not had one since I have been taking this pill. All I drink is water, or flavored water. I need to weigh myself but have not. I really hope this pill is working, cuz I feel like a fat a** and I dont want to feel like that anymore!!!
I am on the diet pills also. the best thing for everyone thats on this pill is to make sure you drink alot of water and you will see the weight melt off you. good luck everyone. and everyone wants to know how to get this pills best to go to your doctor to get it. I have ordered it off the internet its not as good as what the Dr. writes you for it. best of luck everyone.
I have been on this diet pills for about 9 mo. now. I love it. I tryed everything also. nothing worked for me. I ask my doctor to give it to me and he did, I needed something to get me out of bed in the mornings. I got really depressed after mom passed away. wanted to sleep all the time. but after I got on the diet pills I can get up, do my work. and I am happy most of the time. it works if you let it. drink alot of water with it and you will lost alot faster. and good luck everyone.
only been on it two days, I def have less desire for sweets, I feel a little jittery I think I am going to try cutting the pill in half for now on. only looking to loose 15 pounds so I hope it work!
I took 2, 2 month regimines of Adipex, a year apart after a lot of weight gain due to prescibed steriods after cancer therapy. I had blown up to 255, and am now steady at 170, a very healthy weight for me. It works, if you work with it! I've maintained my weight for 1.5 years now and don't see any reason that I'm going to gain it back. To the people that aren't excercising or taking the incentive to learn how to eat appropriately, YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL! That sucks, but as soon as you stop taking the pill, it's all going to come right back! PLEASE, for the people who say you don't have time to excercise and eat right....you do, you just don't want to make time! Your life and health should be your priority, this pill is a boost in the right direction, not a long term solution to your bad habits! Evaluate what made you gain the weight in the first place, if that doesn't change, a little pill is not the magic solution!
I started taking adipex just 2 months ago. I don't have much time to exercise, I wish I did. I walk more that anything, which is still better than nothing. I have lost 29lbs. since Ive been taking it. I weighed 179 before both kids and 242 after. Huge gain. I was very unhappy. I love this pill. I could only imagine how much I would have lost if I'd been exercsing. I have one more month left to take it. I walk a lot and am a lot more active that I was before. I started exercising last week, so hopefully by the time I have to give it up, I will be under 200. I know you have to be off of it for 3 months, then you can go back on. If I gain any of the weight I lost once I have to stop, I will gladly get back on it. I hope I dont. I will continue to exercise and walk!
I have tried all sorts of diets but had no luck due to being hypoglycemic. Normally when I would start a diet my sugar would start acting up and I would have to eat. I craved sweets and diet cokes and would drink at least a 2 liter diet coke a day sometimes more. In the last 3 days the taste of diet cokes are not the same and I have not even drank 1/2 a 2-liter in 3 days. water,water and more water... I have been on adipex-p for 3 days now and i feel great. No more cravings for sweets it is fruit now. I have not had the first sugar attack yet. So I highly recommend this for anyone that has the same condition.
My doctor gave me a diet plan that he likes his patients to go by, 1200 calories a day, I don't even know if i eat that much or not because i don't feel hungry. He also said for me to walk for 40 minutes per day . Don't know exactly how much i have lost but i can see a difference. i started walking 1.5 miles the first day and have doubled that. I feel like getting out and doing things now. I started out at 207 pounds and my goal is 175. But 150 would be even nicer, and i think it can be done with this pill.
So I went for my 1st weigh in and after 1 month lost 11 lbs!
For Samantha: I like to have a few beers myself,but as I said before to be careful with one-too many...I just try and drink no more than 3-4. We are supposed to AVOID alcohol as it may increase side affects from this pill.
32 Lbs in 1 month.
It does affect my temper negatively though.
My DR. gave me adapix and I lost30lb in 3months.I know to some peolpe that not much but to me it's great.When your over wight it's like a big deal.So yes adapix works its the real thing.
Today is day one for me on Adipex. I was a little worried after reading some of the reviews about being jittery. I FEEL GREAT. No jitters at all. I felt the first symptom about 45 minutes after taking it this a.m. and that was thurst!! It's only been half a day and I have drank about 8 bottles of water!! I have one question though, has anyone had any bad side effects from drinking alcohol on it because I drink alot of beers on the weekends. What's anyones advise for me. But so far so good. I love it already
I Started Taking Adipex On Saturday...Starting at 163Lbs. Now its Monday and im down to 158 i worked out Last Night And Planing on doing it the rest of the week!! So Hope it Works!!
After my 2nd child,I weighed 173.It's been 3 weeks since I starting taking Adipex.I do like it and I know that I have lost some weight.I will know exactly how much when I go for my check-up in 1 more week.I havent exercised or even been able to eat well-balanced meals,but I do what I can and the weight has still been coming off.I have even missed a few doses.I have had some headaches,but not too bad and I will warn you NOT to drink too much alcohol when taking Adipex.I think maybe 1-2 drinks and no more at a time.I drank about 6-7 beers one night and when I woke up about 5am the next morning,I had to literally pull myself up to go and use the bathroom,then as I was walking down the hall,I mustve just fell back and passed out because when I woke,I was just laying in the hall floor not knowing how I got there and I had broke out in a coldsweat.I felt my face and it was soaking wet.I have NEVER passed out in my life before.So when I tried to stand up again,I could only do it for a few seconds before I started feeling faint again and I had to lay down to feel better.I finally went back to sleep and woke up feeling normal again.SO PLEASE AVOID drinking alcohol when taking this pill,,,that was very scary.On the other hand I love how fast and effortless this is working!
I took Adipex the 1st time in May 08 I took it only M-F and lost about 11lbs. I quit getting it because my insurance isn't in network with the Doctor who prescribed it and the office visits required every month just weren't in my full-time college student budget...Well ended up getting a job that allowed me to afford the Dr's visit and I started the pills 3/23/09 so I'm 2 weeks into my pills and I've gone from 207 to 195 already. I have no time to exercise with still taking classes and work, but I feel great! People around me are starting to notice a difference and co-workers have made comments about how energetic and cheerful I have been. I had been thin through my teenage years and have been suffering around 200lbs since after the birth of my son...this pill is definitely giving me hope! Now if I can only find time to exercise it would be interesting to see how much I'd lose. One question though...does anyone else have the side effect that you just can't shut up you just keep talking and/or typing and it's like the words come out of your mouth before you can even think about what your saying? That and the dry mouth are the only complaints I have.
I can not believe how much weight I have lost. I've tried everything and nothing worked. Thank God for Adipex.
A friend of mine had that pill before, and we both tried it for about 15 days each.. the results wasn't that great, but my cousin had tried it and it was amazing for her... is it possible that the pill was not the real thing?
I love this diet pill!! SOMETHING FINALLY WORKS!! I need to find out how to get them again.I had no side effects other than a dry mouth, but who does'nt need to drink more water anyway, right?
i just started taking adipex 2 days ago. day 1 was rough, i got really sick. but now its good. i do get hungry thru the day but i eat a little something and im instantly full. Im also following the Adipex Prescription Plus lifestyle eating program and thats really helping. I have alot more energy than i did before taking it... i could not sleep the first night on it but now it seems to be ok. i have lost 4 lbs since taking it. i think most is water weight im taking off from drinking so much water b/c of dry mouth. works though

Best Uses
This is Specialized cheapest road helmet. I used it for 18 months, never had a problem. Once I put it on I never knew it was there. The padding held up perfectly even though I am a world class sweater. Then, the big one. I was in a long pace line, about number ten, going 24 mph and the 3rd and 4th bikes tangled, big pile up, I landed on my head and left shoulder. I broke three ribs, sprained my back, got some road rash, a big ol'bruise on my chest. The liner of my helmet broke in two places, the outside was scratched but intact, best part, my head was undamaged. Best $60.00 I ever spent.
Best Uses
I came in to the store looking for a helmet simply because my old BMX style was just way too chunky and heavy and offered absolutely zero ventilation. Considering I do a lot of miles per week on my road bike, the ventilation is very welcome. I was in the market for an average entry-level helmet that would offer good ventilation and be lighter than my current one. The Specialized Echelon did just that. Albeit not as light as some of the 200+ dollar helmets, it does it's job of protecting my head just fine, and offers an ample amount of air flow through its numerous vents. That, and it matched the color combination of my bike.

City Endeavour Challenge 2013
Good luck from everyone at Walking With The Wounded to the team of four that will take part in the City Endeavour Challenge 2013 and head to the North Pole in April to support us.
The team consists of Simon Kiley and James Greenly, Director and Portfolio Specialist respectively at Norwich-based independent advice firm RJL, and Matthew Deeprose, Sales Director at Dominion Funds.
They had the idea after seeing Harry'S Arctic Heroes, the two-part documentary on BBC One, taking part in the 2011 Expedition to the North Pole with Walking With The Wounded. Read more about North Pole 2011 here.
Following 12 months training and a period of acclimatisation, the team will move on from Arctic Norway to the Russian Ice Camp at Barneo. The team will then be equipped with cross country skis and their own personal pulk, a specially designed Arctic sledge, which they will use to transport their supplies and kit.
According to the team, one of the hardest challenges will probably be isolation. With heads fully covered, severe gales most days and walking single file, each member will have communication between rest stops limited to basic hand gestures. It has been sad that the challenge is 30% physical and 70% mental.
" Being in the most brutal environment on earth, small issues can become big issues very quickly. The team will constantly be aware of frost bite, snow blindness, blistering, and a host of other physical challenges. With Simon being a type 1 diabetic, understanding his needs and ensuring that all aware of the potential danger signs is key. Whilst being armed, the team will have to be aware of polar bears and when crossing open water, black sharks underneath."
– Matthew Deeprose
After a period of approximately two weeks, the team will be collected by a Russian Military Helicopter from the North Pole and flown back to Barneo.
The City Endeavour Challenge 2013 hopes to raise a £1,000,000 for wounded service personnel.

A New York nightclub hostess accused of having an affair with Tiger Woods cancelled a planned press conference amid reports she had negotiated a million dollar deal to remain silent about her alleged relationship with the champion golfer.
Rachel Uchitel had been due to speak, through lawyer Gloria Allred, to reporters following speculation the discovery of the alleged fling by Woods's wife led to last week's car crash involving the 33-year-old billionaire.
But a day after the golfer apologised for "personal sins" that had let his family down, the briefing in Los Angeles was called off just hours before it was due to start due to circumstances that were not disclosed.
A spokeswoman for Ms Allred's office said yesterday: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, Ms Uchitel has cancelled the press conference which was due to take place later today.
"There will be no further statements on the matter."
The nightclub hostess previously denied having an affair with the world's number one golfer but was widely expected to make a statement admitting she did have a relationship with him.
US reports claimed Ms Uchitel had cancelled the press conference after negotiating a million dollar payoff.
Since the alleged affair was reported in the National Enquirer, Woods has been accused of cheating on his wife with two more women.
Earlier, Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik, who first introduced Woods to his wife Elin Nordegren, said he thought the world number one "was a better guy than he is".
Parnevik said he owed Woods's wife an apology as it was he who introduced the American to her while she was working as his au pair in 2001.
On Wednesday, the golfer himself apologised for letting his family down in a statement that alluded to "personal sins" and the forced exposure of "intimate details" of his life.
It came as US Weekly reported a Los Angeles cocktail waitress claims she had a 31-month affair with Woods.

Paris cracks down on short-term apartment rentals
By Natalie Huet
PARIS (Reuters) - Paris, one of the world's most-visited cities, is cracking down on short-term apartment rentals, dealing a blow to tourists looking for a bargain and entrepreneurial landlords hoping to recoup soaring property costs.
The allure of living in a Paris pied-à-terre for a week or month, and paying much less than for a hotel room, has created strong demand for short-term lodging, but its growing popularity has raised the ire of hotels and residential property owners.
"Residents complain about the noise, about the comings and goings, about the entrance of their building being turned into a hotel lobby," said Christian Nicol, head of the city's housing department.
A rush of buying by foreigners looking to profit from the short-term rental market is one of several factors that have driven up Paris property prices at breakneck speed in recent years to stand as some of the costliest real estate anywhere.
The metropolis is now home to an estimated 20,000 fully furnished apartments rented out to tourists, students and business travelers in breach, according to city hall, of a decades-old and long-overlooked law.
Nicol's office has begun sending out letters warning owners that renting out residential apartments for less than a year at a time -- or nine months if the occupant is a student -- violates the law and could lead to prosecution.
Some 200 rental owners have already been tracked down with the help of neighbors upset at finding their bourgeois buildings housing more tourists than ordinary Parisians, said Nicol. An information campaign is to be launched in the weeks ahead.
The temptation to rent is strong, given the flood of visitors to Paris and the prices they are willing to pay. Continued...

The Kilties' board of directors recently selected Mike Phillips as executive director. Although a Midwest native, Phillips is no stranger to the West Coast. Phillips has most recently has spent time on the West Coast as president and one of the founders of the River City Regiment, but his involvement in the drum corps activity goes back several decades. A former marching member of the Cavaliers, the Renegades and the Kilties, Phillips has also been included in past strategic planning and Web site design meetings in support of the Blue Devils.
Building on a cornerstone of the Kilties' history and worldwide fan base, Phillips wasted no time in setting forth a three-year plan that promises to bring the corps into national contention once again. Phillips' plan sets the goal of the Kilties landing in one of the top five spots at the DCA Championships for the corps' 70th anniversary year in 2006. For the shorter term, Phillips is working on specific plans to bring the corps into the finals of that competition in 2004, rising up several spots in 2005.
Phillips recently took time to answer a few questions about his initial impressions, first orders of business and long-range plans for the future success of the 68-year-old Kilties organization.
Beth Myers Landbo: Tell us why you applied for this position?
Mike Phillips: I was on the West Coast, and my main reason for wanting to come back to the Midwest was to become closer to family, and as the drum corps gods would have it, the Kilties were looking for a corps director at the time that I was making that decision. I marched in Kilties, am from the Midwest and have been involved in the activity since 1967, so I appreciate the history of drum corps in this area. I really like the idea of bringing the Kilties to the next level. I enjoy helping the senior corps activity in general, and this was an opportunity to continue to do that after being on the West Coast with Renegades in their earlier years then getting RCR (River City Regiment) on the right track in Sacramento. I also started Blue Grass Brass in Lexington.
I enjoy running the show and helping groups be successful. I want to be able to play a roll to help keep drum corps alive and to thrive. The Kilties are such an institution in the Racine area, which is traditionally known as the drum corps capital of the world. It was a perfect match.
BML: Did you know immediately this was something you wanted to do, or was this decision something you had to ponder for a while?
MP: I had to ponder it for a bit, because I know that the Kilties have been, in my opinion, transitioning from being more of an alumni corps to a corps that wants to compete. I was not interested in being the executive director of an alumni corps. I love the competitive aspect, and all that brings with it — a team coming together to work hard toward being as good as we can be. After several phone calls, I felt comfortable that the Kilties were ready to make that transition. I felt the timing was right for me in terms of background, career, understanding of the activity and understanding of the Kilties. It felt right.
BML: What kind of preparation did you do before you met the membership of the corps at their 2003 awards banquet and, the following day, at their 2004 open house?
MP: I put on paper what my objectives would be. It took some time to figure out what I wanted the Kilties to stand for. I tried to come to grips with how to address the corps. Originally, when the Kilties came together as a senior corps, it was to park and blow, do some parades — I don't know if their initial focus was to be competitive. So, I tried to figure out, "How do I resolve the challenge of some of the members wanting to follow the original focus and now the more vast majority of corps wanting to take it to the next level?" I didn't want to leave anyone behind. I picture the Kiltie organization as being a big umbrella that should accommodate any level of involvement.
I got my thoughts together on that and just really tried to get my mind together on what type of program would be true to the Kilties' past but also be true to the Kilties' future. I really feel that we don't necessarily need to rehash old classics to be successful. We need to start creating new classic tunes and shows that people talk about 20 years from now — just like we celebrate Kilties glory from the past now.
I tried to think organizationally what might have to happen to help the corps go to the next level. This is an ongoing process. Actually, the 30-hour drive (from California to Racine) was excellent for me, not only in terms of introspection of myself personally as far as taking on this role and relocating, but it gave me a chance to talk to myself about these ideas and formulate them further. There was something about the driving and having that private time that really allowed me to crystallize my focus. Part of that crystallization was to identify what my priorities would be. I honed in on five key points:
* Improved color guard and overall visual design are very important.
* Raising the performance level of the percussion section.
* Improving the technique and overall caliber of the brass. We have a lot of people to work with, but that doesn't do us any good if we are not playing together with style and balance and just good basic horn playing.
* Unity of program. We need to be sure all three sections of the corps are competent and orchestrated into an integrated package. We need smart design that features selective exposures for each section and yet they are seamlessly integrated. The guard should not be a mere backdrop but integrated into the visual package.
* We are the Kilties. We wear kilts. We have a Scottish heritage that needs to be part of the show and we do it in a way that is competitive and entertaining. I don't want to lose the entertainment factor. You won't ever need a libretto to understand our show. The crowds love the Kilties, but the program needs to go up a notch to be taken seriously as far as the competitive aspect.
BML: What was your impression of the corps after meeting the membership?
MP: I was pleasantly surprised, to tell you the truth. I came into this with my eyes wide open. I knew that the Kilties took a big hit when Royal Airs formed. That's not a knock against RA, but I was impressed that the Kilties had survived that. That was something that may have taken other corps out of the picture. I was really worried about the organization after that. I enjoyed seeing pride in everyone that they not only survived but had a huge rookie class in 2002 and another wave of new members last year. There's something going right here in terms of recruitment. I enjoyed seeing all of the fresh faces. When I marched the Kilties, our average age was 48. I knew we needed fresh blood to survive. Now, the average age is 38. That's an incredible difference in a few years. It looks like the average age will again trend down in 2004.
I was impressed by the unified focus that the members had about wanting to be better. There was a genuine excitement and momentum that the Kilties organization was going to grow, not just in terms of creative program and participation but as an organization. It was refreshing to see that. I personally feel fortunate in terms of timing of getting involved with the Kilties now. We are only going to go up from here with the type of attitudes I saw at the open house. It is a great beginning pallet to work with.
BML: What's your first order of business?
MP: I need to fill in the staff. For the most part, the corps was waiting for the new director to come on board to allow director to compete that task. I expect to be announcing final staff selections very soon.
Hand in hand with that priority but perhaps more strategic in nature is getting a grip with the program design. The program design has to take a big step forward. I need to corral the creative design crew to say, "Here's my expectations of how our program should work." And unity of design is in the forefront of priorities. The challenge is how to get people who will be driving the creative design to pool our ideas because, just logistically, we have someone on East Coast and someone from Minnesota and someone here in Wisconsin. My initial contact with the creative staff has left me very impressed with their credentials, experience and capabilities. But, being a senior corps we have limited rehearsal time. That creates extra pressure on the design team to get it right the first time. I have complete confidence in our creative staff to do just that.
The Kilties are known for entertaining the crowd. I want an impact, a sort of "wow factor," every 30 seconds or so in the show. That can be a visual impact, a horn impact, a guard feature or a percussion feature, but something that carries the audience along and keeps them captivated throughout the whole program.
BML: Can you give us some insight as to things in the bigger picture — your visions of the corps in 2004 and beyond?
MP: Frankly, I want to bring the corps back to respectability in national competition. The fact is that the judging community doesn't take the corps seriously at this point. And there's probably a good reason for that. I want to stress that it has nothing to do with the drive and passion of the corps — it is more a design issue and one of proper focus and instruction.
This is a three-year labor of love to turn this around, but it isn't going to take that long. It doesn't mean we are not gaining respect all along the way. I think the first year of 2004 is the beginning of the future for the Kilties. We have to be prepared and have to make a statement that we are for real. We are beginning our journey of excellence to the Kilties' future. That three-year goal is to get the corps into national prominence by getting us into the top five at DCA. The Kilties 70th anniversary is in three years and that is the target. There will be a monumental metamorphosis that this corps is going to go through. But I've been around long enough to know that these things take time. I have the love for the Kilties and for drum corps in general to have the patience necessary to bring the organization to that point.
BML: Can you detail the milestones of your three-year plan?
MP: First year: Kilties are a finalist at DCA in 2004. That means we are in the top 10. We might be 10th or ninth, but the goal is to make it into finals. To go from being last in our class to being eighth or ninth or 10th will be quite a feat. Second year: Bring the corps up two or three notches — from 10th to seventh or from ninth to sixth. Third year: For our 70th anniversary year, we will have the program, design, education and performance level of the organization that allows us to hold our head high and truly be the "Mighty Kilties" again. We use the term "Mighty Kilties" now, but for me, the word "mighty" is yet to come.
BML: What does the corps, as it stands today, have going for it?
MP: Recruiting: Bill Roetzer and whoever has been helping him do the recruiting has been doing a wonderful job.
Showmanship and appeal to the crowd: So many corps just mechanically play and march. The Kilties reach out and touch the crowd. When you are in the stands you know they are playing to you and for you. They go about showmanship with almost a reckless abandon. The challenge is to keep that cocky, almost cavalier, attitude but execute at a level that a mature horn line, percussion section and guard should be executing at. Out East, you've got to execute; you've got to play the show. My challenge is the burden of focus that is required to execute can sometimes impede the showmanship, and I need to make sure that doesn't happen. We need to prepare our music well in advance and get the visual show committed to muscle memory so that the mind is free to entertain and connect with the crowd.
A sense of Kilties: There is a sense of pride and dedication to the history and what the corps stands for, and it's strong. I have some work to do to bring all the clans together, so to speak, to get behind how we communicate that sense that we are the Kilties. One of my ideas is to have the corps brought onto the field with bagpipes for every show. After bringing us onto the field and perhaps taking part in our on-field warm-up, the pipers can then take their place in our American squad and again pipe us off the field and join us as we troop the stands. We're Scottish, and we're the Kilties. That's something we don't want to hide.
BML: You talked earlier about the Kilties being a big umbrella, under which everyone is welcome. Can you expand on that?
MP: I am going to start an arm of the corps called the Kiltie Klassics. I want to give the memberships a choice between performing with the competitive faction of the corps, or performing with the a group that exists to just go play to the crowd in an alumni park-and-blow sort of way, do parades, etc. And there is nothing wrong with either side of this equation. They will both be valid parts of the organization.
You only have to turn to groups like the Caballeros to see how well it works. You have both a great competitive corps and an outstanding alumni corps. Or look at the Renegades, they have this mini corps that goes out to gigs and makes money. I played in the first Renegades mini corps that won the DCA mini corps competition. I watched carefully how they orchestrated that. They reeled in large corporate gigs with McDonald's and made a substantial amount of money for the corps.
I asked myself, "What can we do here in the Kilties to start to grow the organization, to get more people involved at whatever level." I came up with the idea of the Kiltie Klassics. They will be the keepers of history of the corps. Musically, they will always know Syne, Scotland and Chattanooga Choo-Choo. I don't look at it as a step down from the competitive corps by any means. It's a whole different idiom of the Kilties organization. For someone who is maybe up in age, has physical problems or who doesn't have the time to commit to being in a competitive-level corps with, there is another place you can go and still play, get in front of the public and have a good time with drum corps. And membership in the competitive corps doesn't necessarily mean you can't perform with the Kiltie Klassics.
The Kiltie Klassics will be our main public relations arm. That is a very important aspect. The goal and objective is to be more in tune and responsive with the local community. They will be a sort of "hit squad" for spontaneous things like grand openings, playing a fanfare for a ribbon cutting, or for playing Christmas carols. And there will also be a higher-end gigging group of the very best players to play at paying gigs and to make money for the corps.
I've put Kenny Norman in charge of the Kiltie Klassics. I had a nice long meeting with him, and he is thrilled to help organize this aspect of corps. I've given him full creative control of the Kiltie Klassics. We will see a lot of interesting things happening — not just with the gigging group, but also with the alumni group. That is an aspect of the corps that will grow every year. It is a new arena. A new opportunity to play, have fun and do whatever the group wants to do. I told Kenny, "Here's the ball. Now run with it." I did tell him that I wanted this to mobilize quickly — within four months. This will be a year-round organization with the idea of being able to mobilize as needed to serve the community.
BML: Anything else you'd like to add?
MP: Only one thing: It's good to be home.

IP Code
The IP Code (or International Protection Rating, sometimes also interpreted as Ingress Protection Rating*) consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter. As defined in international standard IEC 60529, it classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof.
The digits (characteristic numerals) indicate conformity with the conditions summarized in the tables below. For example, an electrical socket rated IP22 is protected against insertion of fingers and will not be damaged or become unsafe during a specified test in which it is exposed to vertically or nearly vertically dripping water. IP22 or 2X are typical minimum requirements for the design of electrical accessories for indoor use.

I went to see Lana at this salon based on the comments placed on here. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! I told her to give me a cut and style that would allow my hair to grow gracefully and that would make straight haired people turn green with envy. I dont know what the hell she was thinking or what she did but she turned my hair into an AFRO. I was so horrified. Im a nice guy so when she asked me what do i think about it, i just said WELL... ITS DIFFERENT. she charged me $65.00 I will never go back there again.

Well, Mom told me again how much she misses me. She says Lili and Mocha are growing up so fast. Lili is 4 and Mocha will be 4 in November. Mochahated seeing the vet this week and she thought he was going to tear the vet apart. They had to muzzle him and blindfold him. Lili and him had their yearly shots. I wish I could have been there to let Mocha know that the vet isn't a bad person.
Mom suffers from extreme anxiety when she is out in public by herself, her doctor has finally decided that Lili and Mocha are her service dogs. She says she does alright if dad (or other people she knows) is with her, but by herself she panics.
I wish I was there to help her.
Mom is still hoping to get two more chihuahuas (she says there aren't enough chis in the world to fill the hole I left in her life).
Mommy now has two chihuahuas. Lili was born on March 1, 2006. The sweetest thing you'd ever want to meet. Easy going, friendly and no barking (until Mocha). Mocha was born on November 23, 2006. Cute little thing. Big personality. He likes to run and chase birds and butterflies (Mom says we would have gotten along great). Even though Lili and Mocha have the same mom and dad, they are totally different. Lili is very laid back and very contented to sleep and cuddle. Mocha loves to run and play fetch. He has gotten Lili to run and play and make her figure out ways to trick Mocha into giving up toys (and laps). Mom says she still really misses me and knows I am watching out for them. She says she wouldn't mind getting a couple more chihuahuas, but they will never fill the house up like I did.
Here I am at the Rainbow bridge enjoying the weather and all the other dogs to play with. Mom told me the weather at her house is terrible. November came and with it the wind and rain. She really misses me and wish I was there to play with Lili, but she is glad that I'm not suffering anymore. Mom says Lili hates the rains because it makes her so cold (her being a chihuahua). Mom says that I was the best watch dog she ever had and a good friend. I do miss them all very much, as I know that they miss me

Live Commentary
That's it from me, bye for now folks.
So Spain get the points, eventually, that sees them remain top of their group. All they need is a draw against Georgia in their final group game to guarantee top spot. Belarus will finish bottom of the group.
90' + 3'Yellow Card Dmitri Verkhovtsov
90' + 3'Xavi whips in the free kick, Belarus head out but there's not enough time to get the ball back down to the other end! Full time!
90' + 2'Negredo brought down cynically by Verkhovtsov on the right flank. A silly move from the defender, not for the yellow card he earned, but because it allows Spain, and Negredo to milk the clock.
90' + 1'Yellow Card Stanislau Drahun
90'Three minute of added time to go, and Spain find themselves defending here. Can Belarus pull off the impossible?
89'Assist Krivets
89'Goal Sergey Kornilenko
A solid goal out of nowhere from the visitors, as Krivets slips a ball through to Kornilenko, who beats Busquets for pace and hammers a low finish past Valdes!
88'A somewhat rare sight as Spain break on the counter. Iniesta nearly bends a neat ball into Pedro, who sprints through centrally, but Gutor is on it.
86'Ramos continues to motor forward, and this time, picks the ball up centrally to have a go at goal. It's not a bad effort from the Real Madrid man, flashing the wrong side of the post.
84'SubstitutionCesc Fàbregas Koke
84'Kislyak wriggles into some space with his first touch, but, spotting a gap in the far corner, generates far too little on his shot to trouble Valdes.
82'Tigorev with a first Belarus chance in ages, taking aim at Valdes' goal from a long way out. It was always a speculative effort though, and it sails over harmlessly.
80'SubstitutionAleksandr Martynovich Sergei Kislyak
80'Hard to take anything away from Spain. Not their most inventive game by any stretch, but they kept at it, and got their reward, with a two goal cushion to sit on. Belarus, as dogged as they have been defensively, have been absolutely putrid in attack, and deserve little from this one.
78'Assist Sergio Ramos
78'Goal Negredo
La Roja wrap it up in efficient fashion. Iniesta with the feed down the wing, Ramos with the cross, and Negredo meets it with a diving header from inside the six-yard area. Game over.
77'SubstitutionAnton Putsila Sergey Kornilenko
75'Still no sign of any attacking intent from Belarus. You can literally count the amount of times they've had the ball out of their own half after the break on one hand. Meanwhile, Del Bosque ponders another change on the sidelines.
73'Xavi manages to slip in Pedro, but the winger is just a step too slow behind Gutor, who races off his line to smother. It continues to be all Spain.
71'Just under 20 minutes remaining here, and still no sign of a further Spain breakthrough. They've kept a hold of the ball diligently, but Belarus continue to hold firm. Perhaps Xavi's goal will do it?
69'Kalachev needs treatment for a freak injury where he seemed to kick himself in the shin. Spain put it out of play, and the Belarus wide man is soon back on his feet. The visitors sportingly give the ball back to la Roja.
67'Play has slowed down once again, as Del Bosque watches grimly from the sidelines. He won't be happy until Spain have at least another goal here.
66'Yellow Card Timofey Kalachev
65'Spain are full steam ahead for Brazil 2014 as things stand. Should this score hold, then they need only one point from their final group game against Georgia to guarantee top spot.
63'Will that open things up now? Spain have the wind in their sails, the Iberostar has waken up, and Belarus are simply offering nothing on the pitch.
61'Assist Piqué
61'Goal Xavi
Pique takes a high ball on his shoulder in the box, playing it right back into the mixer. Filipenko cannot get enough distance on his header, and the ball drops perfectly for Xavi, who strikes it powerfully and cleanly into the back of the net from 18 yards! Gutor no chance!
60'Fabregas spots Pedro making a darting run right down the middle, and stabs a ball through the heart of the defence to pick him out, but there's a bit too much on it, and Gutor gets there first.
59'All 11 Belarus players camped well inside their own half, closer to the penalty box than to the centre circle. Spain keep probing and picking away at them. You get the feeling that one goal, if it is to come, will definitely do it.
57'SubstitutionMichu Negredo
57'Andres Iniesta skips brilliantly inside a challenge and plays into Michu, who fails to control the ball and is called for offside anyway. And that may be the end of his debut, as Alvaro Negredo is primed on the sidelines.
56'An excellent one-two-three between Pedro, Silva and Fabregas sees the former Arsenal skipper free himself for the cross, but the linesman's flag for offside halts his endeavors.
55'SubstitutionVitali Rodionov Krivets
54'Yellow Card Maksim Bordachov
54'David Silva with a nifty ball into Cesc Fabregas, whose first touch surprisingly lets him down, allowing Belarus to clear.
52'Xavi with a deep, deep corner, and Michu is on it at the far post. He attempts an incredible hooked volley, but unsurprisingly fails to make a perfect connection on the ball, and sends it into orbit.
50'Spain pick up where they left off, pinging the ball around with impunity, but again, Belarus are trying their hardest to shut down any available gaps.
48'Bordachev barges into Pedro, and sends the Barca man flying right into a poor cameraman on the sidelines. It seems like Pedro has come off worse for wear, but there is no reprimand for Bordachev.
47'Monreal has departed at the break, and in his place comes Iniesta. Spain switching to three at the back it seems.
46'SubstitutionMonreal Iniesta
46'Here we go again folks.
Silva and Pedro have probably been the best of a tepid bunch for Spain, but Pique has looked inexplicably suspect against a few rudimentary Belarus attacks. Michu, on his debut, has been rather anonymous. A few morsels for thought for Del Bosque at the break. Join us for the restart in a bit.
The home side have monopolized possession, but have found chances hard to come by. The visitors have barely had a kick, but are defending resolutely, and are looking a decent threat from set-pieces. So, a typical Spain international then.
45'No stoppage time to speak of as the referee signals for half-time.
45'Pique struggling once again to clear a basic cross, and, already sitting at a yellow card, is perhaps lucky not to be penalized for a tug on Kalachev.
45'So will Del Bosque shuffle his pack at the break? He certainly has his pick of talent to choose from, with Isco, Navas, Mata, Koke and Negredo all on the bench and all able to change a game in the attacking third.
43'This half rather trickling out as Spain seem bereft of ideas in attack. To be quite honest, this game has struggled to get off the ground, and Belarus will doubtless be the happier side so far.
41'The set piece is headed away with little fuss by Verkhovtsov at the near post, but Spain quickly have it back, and reset the attack.
40'David Silva goes down rather easily on the edge of the area under a soft challenge from Bordachev. Free kick to come, but thankfully the referee has the sense to keep his cards in his pocket.
38'The ball flashes up at the top of the box, and Pedro takes the invitation to lash a stinging effort towards goal, but it goes wide as Spain miss the target again.
36'Better from Monreal, who overlaps with his typical enthusiasm, but this time, gets an accurate ball in from the flanks, which Michu meets, but heads the wrong side of the post!
34'A hint of trouble for la Roja, who see the resulting set piece whipped into the heart of the area, where a Belarus head flicks it back across the box. Pedro eventually hacks clear at the far post.
33'Yellow Card Piqué
33'Pique and Rodionov square off for the second time. The Belarus man has the step, and Pique makes a clumsy attempt to get rid of the ball, and commits a needless foul. Free kick, and a yellow card.
31'Fabregas with an excellent through ball to pick out Monreal in the penalty area, but the Arsenal man cannot drill his cross past the first man. That deserved better.
29'La Roja continue to dominate the ball, but Belarus are getting better and better at the back. Gaps that were once there are slowly creeping shut.
27'Funny how the yellow 'V' on Spain's jersey looks like a winner's medal around their necks. Coincidence? Or cheeky design?
25'MICHU REPORT: Not much of note from the Swansea man on his Spain debut, who has barely touched the ball so far. In truth, target men have rarely fared well in recent la Roja incarnations.
23'A quality link-up sequence from Belarus on the right sees Tigorev tee up Kalachev in space on the overlap, but his final ball is neither a cross nor a shot, and goes out for a throw at the opposite touchline. That could have been something more than it was.
22'Spain have seen 83 per cent of the ball in the opening 20 minutes. Not the most shocking stat, but most of it has come to naught, as Belarus have defended reasonably well so far.
20'Xavi, with a move seen so many times at Camp Nou tries to pick out Pedro with a diagonal pass, but the ball skips ahead of the forward on the moist turf, and goes out of play.
18'Silva is really running the show here for la Roja. The Manchester City maestro has been spotted all over the opposition half, and has probably managed a passing combination with every Spain player on the pitch at this point.
16'The cross comes in from Arbeloa on the right and its Silva, who released the fullback initially, with the header, but it is well wide in the end. Nearly a carbon copy of his opening goal in the Euro 2012 final against Italy.
15'Silva does well to wriggle into room centrally, and with one slipped pass, released Michu on goal! However, before the striker can take a swing at it, Filipenko sticks a boot out the clear the ball away from danger.
13'Dangerous free kick for Spain right at the edge of the box as Pedro, running at pace again, is sent flying by a Belarus defender. Martynovich gets his name taken, but Xavi cannot beat the wall with the resulting set piece.
11'Yellow Card Aleksandr Martynovich
11'Valdes with a rare touch, quickly recycling a backpass from Ramos. The keeper seems set to depart Camp Nou in the summer, after over a decade of trophy-laden success. Whispers are that Marc Andre ter Stegen will take his place between the posts for the 2014-15 season.
10'It is clear that Del Bosque has set up his side to take full advantage of Michu in the middle. With a legitimate target to aim for in the box, the likes of Pedro and Monreal have already picked out a few balls from the left flank.
8'Pedro letting the good times roll with a superb run down the left, leaving three defenders in his dust. He spots Michu lurking at the far post, but Gutor just palms the ball out of the reach of the Swansea debutant.
6'A rare moment for the visiting fans to cheer as Dragun wins a foot race with Pique on the right. I know, hardly the most difficult task, but the Belarus midfielder cannot sort his feet out as the Barca defender wins the ball back easily.
4'As expected, Spain bossing it so far. Belarus have not had a touch since kickoff, but are keeping it compact at the back, also as expected. A one-sided war of attrition, as it usually is with la Roja these days.
2'Interesting to see how Spain line up in attack tonight. Ostensibly, Michu will lead the line, but Del Bosque loves himself a false nine, and with Fabregas on fire at club level, don't be surprised to see some swapping back and forth between the pair.
1'Bang. Belarus get the ball rolling.
We're just about ready to go, the teams are in position...
Belarus meanwhile are playing for pride at this point, with their best case scenario being to avoid finishing at the foot of the table. Georgi Kondratiev's outfit have won only once, picking up a paltry four points in qualifying. And lest we forget, a Pedro hattrick set Spain on their way to a 4-0 win in the reverse fixture.
Shockingly, Spain have been listed as the out and out favourites for tonight's clash. Should la Roja romp to victory here in Palma, then they need only a point from their final group game against Georgia to assure qualification. But who in their right mind would bet against the reigning World and European champions boarding the plane to Brazil next summer!
Onto the teams, and its a long-awaited international debut for Swansea revelation Michu, who replaced veteran hot-shot David Villa in the Spain squad last week. The former Rayo frontman trumps, Roberto Soldado who has been left home, and Fernando Llorente, who has been doing his best Nicklas Bendtner impression at the Juventus Stadium.
So this game does go ahead after all. A generator explosion at the Iberostar stadium one day ago had left three injured, and put this game in serious doubt. But apparently things have been patched up in time to allow football to be played. Let's hope for a safe one above all else, tonight.
BELARUS: Veremko; Martynovich, Verkhovtsov, Bordachev, Filipenko; Dragun, Zhavnerchik, Putilo, Balanovich; Tigorev, Kalachev.
SPAIN: Valdes; Arbeloa, Pique, Ramos, Monreal; Busquets, Xavi, Silva; Pedro, Michu, Fabregas.
Teams time, baby.
Greetings everyone, and welcome to the World Cup qualifier between Spain and Belarus. My name is Keeghann Sinanan, and I'll be your guide through all the action.

New DVD! Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga with Kino MacGregor, Greg Nardi and Tim Feldmann
Our new DVD produced at Miami Life Center is just that. Called Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga, this DVD has four sections: a general introduction, a yoga philosophy section, a breathing section and a practice section. My husband and Level 2 Authorized Teacher Tim Feldmann guides the breathing section with the help of one of our students. Level 2 Authorized Teacher Greg Nardi outlines the basics of yoga philosophy and details modifications for beginners through the practice. I welcome you to the DVD in the Introduction and guide you through the practice segment.
Like a open invitation to the spiritual path yoga inspires you be more than you ever imagined possible.When you start practicing yoga the body itself becomes more sensitive and then asks you to live a more pure lifestyle. This DVD will hopefully inspire many new students to begin the lifelong spiritual journey of yoga. Students already practicing can use the short practice to follow on a light day.
Practicing asana makes the body more sensitive so that you feel more clearly the impact that unhealthy behavior, negative thoughts and destructive emotions have on you. Yoga is a path of liberation that we hope many will begin with our guidance on this DVD. The practice of yoga itself opens your body and mind to desire wholly a new way of being, living and interacting with yourself and others. It is the heightening of your own awareness that facilitates the transformation. You change not because your teacher tells you to but because yoga opens the door to a new way of being that you choose to walk through with joy, ease and grace. The journey into the lotus heart of yoga is a lifelong spiritual practice that bears flowers in this life and beyond.
This has been the result of over two years of collaborative vision driven between me, Greg and Tim driven by my idea to create a beginner level Ashtanga DVD. We are happy to be going to replication with the final product this week and releasing the DVD hopefully within the next month. Updates will be posted at here as soon as it is ready.
Pre-order the DVD here now!

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer
TNA could be in danger of losing Soundstage 19 in Universal Studios, where they currently tape iMPACT! Wrestling, to WWE if WWE decides to bring a Hall of Fame to CityWalk. CityWalk is located at the soundstage.
Universal Studios is set to make a huge announcement about Soundstage 19 on December 12. There are rumors that the announcement concerns the WWE Hall of Fame. However, it's just a rumor at this point and the announcement could have nothing to do with wrestling.
We'll keep you posted as we hear more.
If wwe does this I want to bash Mcmahon with a bat.
hope they don't lose soundstage 19 to wwe
how could wwe take that away from tna
its not like they're taking it. Universal is in it to make money..people will actually pay to go to the HOF, and im sure they'll be charging WWE much more for rent…
That's if they're even charging TNA for rent, it may be the same agreement Universal & TNA had originally. Do correct me if I'm wrong, but TNA didn't have to pay rent as long as TNA didn't charge for tickets so Universal could add TNA to their list of attractions. Wasn't that their agreement at least for stage 21?
I have no idea what their original deal was, but at the end of the day, many more people will pay to go to the HOF than a TNA show…Universal will make more money off WWE if this were to happen.
mabee more rent but the hall of fame would be in with admission price to universal studios
Very true. But more people would go to universal to go to the hof then go for impact. Meaning more money for universal.Sent from my iPhone
well dnt think any one buys tickets so they can go see tna 99.9% are residents of florida who have year passes
Obviously you don't understand what I'm saying. People would acctually travel to see the wwe hall of fame. They would go to universal just for the hall of fame. They would pay for a day passSent from my iPhone
should have been ma last post lols
i get wat u saying and i agree because 99.9% of tna attendance have year pass other 0.1% are were here may aswell go see it
wwe hof ppl would travel to see
Highly unlikely TNA went there and set up shop w/ developmental if there was no "deal" in place.
JASIR (just another silly internet rumor)…
you do understand how contacts work right? TNA was desperate…I wouldn't be surprised if Universal had a instant out clause that they could invoke….
Wwe are bullies. Pieces of crap who can create connections. Believe you me I have been around wwe high in events.
It's just business. TNA is not your company so don't lose sleep over it
people who call people "pieces of crap" are also bullies…
Then couldn't TNA just set up shop in another location within Universal Studios? Moving out in the first place is proving to have been a very dumb idea…
nope, its not that simple. wwe is a powerhouse. if wwe wants in tna has no choice but to go out. they wont play nice with tna or any promotion
WWE wouldn't allow that..
It would depend on TNA getting a contract signed with Universal, they should have the connections in place to do this already, hopefully..
I hope tna stays at universal so I can see them there.
what are using soundstage 21 for ? could they go there?
The big announcement coming is for a new restaurant in CityWalk and whats replacing the old Latin Quarters restaurant, and has nothing to do with soundstage 19 or Wrestling…Made up story to say the least here
No TNA is not my company and no Ivam not losing sleep over it. Just that the thought makes me sick. The wwesucks Its awful and frankly boringvand cheesy.
Claire Lynch museum? I'll saves ya Olive ag ag ag ag!

Got a ding on my 34
Coming back from Saturday morning coffee with the others in our club and an oncoming car slung a good sized rock at me. I throught for a moment it was going to come through the windshileld but it hit my four piece hood.:mad:
Trying to decide if I should file a claim with Hagerty or just go ahead and fix it. I am not too good at spot painting and the thought of repainting the left top hood panel is not too appealing.
Sorry to hear that Vince, you gotta hate it when that happens. Is that a ti coat on your car or base clear? It's a fairly dark color so doing a blend and clearing the panel would be not to tough a job, even if it is a tri coat, dark color aren't near as intimidating as light colors.
Thanks, it's a base/clear.
Ouch! That really sucks. Hopefully you can get that fixed without too much grief. (Ray could fix it for you, but you'd have to drive about 1500 miles to get it to him... maybe somebody in Texas... Nah - Road Trip!) ;)
The good thing is that there's a lot of visual movement in the panels there, unlike a door panel. A spot repair will hide in the reflections a bit better there.
I'd call Hagerty and let us know what they tell you.
I hate that for you Vince. Good luck and keep us posted.
Well Vince, you have several things going for you, the fact that it's bc/cc and not a tri color, it's dark and where the chip is. As mentioned, because of where it is and not on a flat panel makes the blend that much easier.
If your at all interested (if Hagerty doesn't bump your rates to bad) and need any help or advice, let me know, I'll help wherever I can.
Yes Bob, I probably could fix it...think it's closer to a 2,000 mile drive though and Hagerty might look down on that big a road trip...LOL.
I may attempt it anyway. I have some spot painting to do on my door jambs because I am moving my suicide door pins up to where they engage more of the door jamb. Those areas are easy to repaint as I have a very definite break line in the body where I can mask off.
While your doing the door jamb area, it may be a good time to tackle the Hood. The hood isn't that large...it could be taken off (I would recommend this) repaired and reinstalled. Again, if your game...I'm here.
I was kidding about the road trip - that would be quite a ways to go for a repair! Painting the jamb and door will provide an opportunity to make sure Vince has a good color match.
well that sucks. dont feel bad . i've been know to chip one before i can get it finished. keep the repair as small as possible then jusr reclear the panel .
do you have paint left over? with a little touch up and some skill you maybe able to just hide it . i did a vette my buddy got with like 20 or 30 nicks. i used a paper match end , not the part that lights. Dabbed it on and buffed it out nice and slow. when he picked it up. he found only 3 spots that he could remember .
Well Grundy paid off really well, I am extremely pleased. I will be able to get the damage repaired plus spot painting where I moved my suicide door pins up.

Wynonna Judd is going back on tour after her husband lost his left leg in a motorcycle crash, according to her statement today.
Husband Michael Scott "Cactus" Moser "continues to improve every day as he begins his road to rehabilitation," she said in her statement.
Moser, also her drummer, was injured Aug. 18 in South Dakota. He was airlifted to a hospital, and doctors amputated his leg. Judd said she hopes he will rejoin her on stage with her band soon.
Instead of gifts, the couple is asking people to donate in Moser's name to Homes For Our Troops, a non-profit, non-partisan organization committed to helping military personnel who have returned home with serious disabilities.
Judd's tour resumes Thursday in Michigan. She also rescheduled shows she missed because of the accident.

McCullough Elementary School community mourns loss of Ms. Joschak
One of the biggest surprises of Nick Popovich's 16th birthday last November happened because of his old first-grade teacher at McCullough Elementary School.
Intimately aware of Nick's love of Pitt athletics, Marilyn Joschak and her fiancé, Ray Mlinarich, bombarded the Popoviches' front yard with Panthers balloons and streamers and other basketball decorations.
The episode is one of the many reasons Nick, his younger sister Natasha and his parents remained so close to Joschak years after he was a special-needs student in her class.
It's also why Nick's mother, Lisa, said she wanted to be the one who gave Nick and Natasha the shocking news that their vibrant, popular former teacher abruptly died on Aug. 28, two days after turning 57.
"Our family lost a special link, and I keep telling my kids, 'Boy, are we lucky to have this beautiful angel who is on our side,'" Lisa Popovich said.
Joschak, of Manor, had just started her 20th year at McCullough on Aug. 22. She died from symptoms related to previously undetected heart disease, said Jessica Joschak, 24, the youngest of her three children.
Jessica Joschak said her brother, Ryan, reasoned in an online message to friends and family that their mother's heart had worn out from caring too much for others.
In recent weeks, Joschak had been busy prepping for her July 5 wedding at Greendance Winery in Mt. Pleasant, which was to be followed by a honeymoon in Italy, her daughter said.
The mother who once made wreaths for the front door of their home for every season had been perusing Pinterest, a social-media website, for various ideas for the nuptials, Jessica Joschak said. Her plan was to include a wine bottle and purple flowers among the centerpiece arrangement on each table.
Joschak's death hit some McCullough parents hard last week, especially because it happened just hours after parents and students welcomed the teachers back for the new school year with a cake.
"You couldn't not love her because she was just so personable, and she was a wonderful teacher," said Susie Perrin, whose son had Joschak in class.
Teachers at McCullough also were coping with the sudden loss. Some called her "the queen of first grade" because she referred to her students as "little princes and princesses."
District support staff was scheduled to help out at the school today, Thursday, so some McCullough faculty members could attend the funeral at Sacred Heart Church of Good Shepherd Parish in Braddock Hills.
Third-grade teacher Scott Mickey remembered the joy Joschak had for volunteering to help to teach the outdoor-life lessons each year during the annual fifth-grade trip to Deer Valley YMCA Family Camp in Somerset County.
Joschak also taught both of Mickey's sons.
"She made a difference in every student's life that she taught," Mickey said. "When you were in her presence, her smile and her love for life were contagious."

Syllabus Bleg
Each spring, I have to teach an introductory, interdisciplinary social science course with the banal title, "Reading and Writing in the Social Sciences." In years past, we've spent most of our time reading a selection of journal articles from the various disciplines in my program (i.e., history, poly sci, anth, sociology, psych and econ) and writing critical essays, book reviews, etc. Its a required course for our major, and students are about as enthusiastic about it as you'd expect them to be. This year, in the interest of making things a little more lively, I'm going to try and incorporate some academic blogs into the mix.
I figure for history, I'll have students read Civil War Memory, or Rustbelt Intellectual, or any number of other sites. For econ, maybe Brad DeLong and Marginal Revolution among others (maybe Krugman and Freakonomics, too). For political science, maybe PoliBlog, The Monkey Cage, and of course American Power.
But what about psychology, sociology and anthropology? I suppose I could always have students poke through thae Academic Blog Wiki to find something they like, but I'm wondering if any of you folks have suggestions to get us/me started…

Welcome to another series here on the wildly popular I Was Broke. Now I'm Not. website. We're passionate about helping YOU win with your money. In this series, we are going to be talking about a practical, step-by-step plan that you can use to take your finances to the stratosphere!
How To Win With Money
5. Build savings to three months of expenses
Read step #5 again. Note that this level focuses on saving three months of expenses – not income. Because this follows level #4 (to eliminate all non-house, non-business debt), your monthly expenses should be much lower! In general, this level will take three to nine months to achieve.
It is amazing how much confidence this will give to you! Your ability to live is no longer wholly dependent upon an employer's willingness to keep you. You can encounter financial challenges with substantially reduced stress. Even more, you are able to look beyond the current day and week and focus on "what could be." It is at this step that you will begin to live in the vision and goals you documented at level one – the start of your journey to win with money.
Take a moment to determine how much your monthly expenses will be once you have eliminated all non-house, non-business debt. Now, multiply that number by three. This is your "Level 5 Savings Goal." If you don't have this much money saved right now, take a moment to think about how you might feel upon achieving this level. Let that feeling provide fuel to you as you progress up the nine levels required to truly win with money!

Finding All the "Relatives"
OK – so not really relatives in the sense of the annual family reunion – but instead related messages in Outlook 2007.
You know, when you're looking at a message and thinking, "Now what else was I supposed to know about this?" or "What else did he send me?"
You could begin a search guessing what subject or text phrase to search for or you could let Outlook 2007 do the work for you.
Hmmm… difficult decision…
I vote for Outlook doing the work.
So here's the "trick" to it.
- First, you need to open the message.
- Now, on the Message tab of the Ribbon you need to locate the Related button (right side).
- When you click the button you'll be given two choices, Related Messages and Messages from Sender.
- Choose one.
Instantly Outlook opens the Advanced Find dialog window and is already searching.
Once the search results are returned you'll find the list in the bottom portion of the dialog window. You can double-click on a message in the list to instantly open it without needing to navigate to its actual location.
The coolest part? 1) Outlook searched everywhere – Inbox, all your personal folder, etc… and; 2) it set all the parameters doing all the hard work for you.
