COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The new year arrived violently in some parts of Ohio, with a woman stabbed to death in Toledo, men shot to death in Cleveland, Dayton and Lorain and three people shot and wounded in Columbus on Tuesday.
The fatal shooting of a man on Cleveland's east side just before 3 a.m. came as the city recorded a two-year spike in homicides last year and in 2011.
A second northeast Ohio shooting death occurred about an hour later after someone apparently opened fire at a crowded gas station in Lorain.
WEWS-TV in Cleveland (http://bit.ly/TEH8my ) reported that four people were struck in the Lorain shooting. Cuyahoga County Coroner spokesman Powell Caesar said one of them, a 33-year-old man, was pronounced dead after being taken to a Cleveland hospital.
In Dayton, police were investigating the death of a man found shot in a home, with his friends telling WHIO-TV in Dayton that he had been seen celebrating New Year's as late as 2 a.m.
Columbus police were investigating two separate shootings early Tuesday in the city that wounded three, while Toledo police were investigating the death of a 23-year-old woman stabbed in the neck during a large fight at a bar shortly before 2 a.m.

You can meet this pet at the ANIMAL CARE CENTER of SHOREWOOD 189 Brook Forest Ave (Rt 59) in Shorewood, IL
At the Animal Care Center of Shorewood, cats and dogs can be viewed Monday through Friday 10am to 7 pm, Saturday from 10am - 2pm and Sunday from 10 am to 1 pm. No appointment is needed. For up to the minute availability information on this pet during the hours shown above, call 815-744-1500.

Email inquires can be directed to email@example.com
• Must be 21 years of age or older to adopt a cat, 23 years of age or older to adopt a dog.
• Must provide a copy of your lease agreement or association by laws if you live in an apartment, condo or townhouse
• Must provide documents/receipts that specify your cat or dog's immunizations/required tests are current (rabies, distemper and fecal (+ for dogs- heartworm test and bordetella if adopting a dog) (+ for cats - leukemia test/vaccine if adopting a cat)). We can call your veterinarian to get this information, if you don't have the documents. If you know they are not current, bring the animals with you and can have them updated by the animal hospital that houses HSP.
• All adults in the household must be present and co sign the adoption agreement.
• All your currently owned dogs/cats must be spayed or neutered. This is a non-negotiable requirement.
Heartworm prevention must also be purchased at the time of adoption and prices vary depending on the size of the animal being adopted.
• Puppies under 6 months old are required to sign up for a puppy obedience class. ($89 deposit required, refundable upon completion)
Each Adoption Includes:
• Spay or neuter surgery
Vaccines current to the date of adoption *:
• Rabies vaccine
• Bordatella vaccine for dogs
• Canine Influenza vaccine for dogs
• Booster for canine and feline distemper and several other dangerous diseases
• Fecal test
• 1st deworming
• Heartworm test (dogs +6 months old)
• Leukemia test for cats
• Capstar flea treatment
• Microchip identification implant
* Boosters required for puppies and kittens (depending on age) POST adoption are the responsibility of the pet owner.
Application Process
Once you have decided on an animal, you will be provided with an Adoption Questionnaire which requires name, address, phone numbers and asks some questions about your household, why you want a pet and how you plan to care for it. The Adoption Questionnaire needs to be approved by an authorized humane society volunteer. If an authorized volunteer is on site, that occurs quickly and if you've provided all required information on applicable lease agreements/association by laws and current immunizations/tests for any existing pets, you may be able to take your new friend home immediately. If an authorized volunteer is not on site, you'll receive a phone call when the status is determined.
Adopotion Donations
Adoption donations for adult dogs range from $59 to $399 and puppies from $159 to $599.
Adoption donations for adult cats range from $29 to $99 and kittens from $59 to $399.
We are a private pet rescue and are not affiliated with any government or national organization, and as such our adoption donations are set to cover as much of the cost for the spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, tests and medical care of our animals that is realistic. We lose money on every animal we take in as our adoption donations are less than what caring for the animals actually costs us. We ask more for puppies, kittens and purebred adults to help cover the expenses of the older mixed breed animals for which we receive minimal donations and incur significant debt. However, even at our highest prices, puppies and kittens are still half the price of pet store animals AND our animals are already altered and up to date on vaccinations.
Post Adoption Care
If you choose to give one of our deserving homeless animals a second chance at a good life, a New Pet Health Assurance Program provided by our partner veterinary clinics is available. This will cover the cost of treating shelter related illnesses should one occur, for 60 days after your adoption date up to $500. If you do not purchase this coverage, you would assume total financial responsibility for any needed medical treatment immediately after you adopt.
Help Save Pets
Since 2000, we have placed over 10,000 animals into loving homes. Each one of these animals was given shelter, food, medical aid and vaccinations and time to find the right home. Our doctors mended mutilated limbs and cured many illnesses so that these animals could get a second chance at good lives. We have grown and now operate out of 4 locations, not all of them in Plainfield. In 2008 we changed our name from the Humane Society of Plainfield to Help Save Pets, still HSP.
What exactly does HSP do?
We rescue desirable and healthy adult dogs and cats from pounds and shelters in mostly rural areas.
• Many government funded pounds and shelters, especially in rural areas, have an abundance of homeless animals and scarce cage space to house them. The demand for pets from these shelters is low and the kill rate is high.
We rescue puppies and kittens that most rescues will not.
• Many shelters, including other no kill rescues, will NOT take puppies or kittens under 3 months old because of their susceptibility to illness. Most are sadly put to death.
We rescue dogs and cats with curable health problems.
• Many adult animals with curable health problems (some serious, including Heartworm positive dogs) are restored to health and offered for adoption.
We take pregnant and nursing moms with their babies.
• We find foster homes for them to raise their young in a safe environment. Pounds put these moms and their babies down immediately because of the risk of illness, extra work and additional space involved with caring for them.
We work closely with Will County and Joliet Township Animal Control to help reduce the kill rate of animals locally.
We sponsor an Illinois Dept of Agriculture Humane Investigator, who serves our geographic area and investigates cruelty complaints.
We offer training and behavioral counseling to assist in the transition of adopted animals into new homes.
Thank You!

Led Scandalous Summer (5.7), followed Cheeseburgers & Fries (5.8). Led pitch 1 and 3 of Bull Dozier (5.7), Mike led p2. Finally we swapped leads on Isostacy (5.8) - Mike led pitch one and three.
Brought 60m half ropes for full-length rappels without having to walk off the dome. Beautiful day !
Also climbed Holdless Horror (5.6) three times (have led each pitch twice).

|Mary and I did this route on a day trip to Tuolumne after I worked a bunch of night shifts in the ER. Left Fresno at 8:30AM, drove up to Tuolumne (I slept for an hour in the car), had lunch in the Meadows, and then climbed the route. Easy approach, fun climbing, and a beautiful descent.

Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2006
|Climbed this with Rob as a warm-up/acclimatization outing before Mt. Darwin the next day; he led pitches 1 and 3, while I led 2 and 4. The offwidth was kind of awkward until I figured out I should just climb on the face around it, then it became trivial. (It's easier than the 5.7 rating given it on the route page here, more like easy 5th class if I recall correctly). Really fun climb, although we didn't head up to the actual summit (it looks like a walk up from the top of the route).

|Anniversary Climb up Holdless Horror
Date Climbed: Oct 3, 2004
|Robin and I marked our first anniversary by climbing in Yosemite. We intended to stay in Camp 4 (where we met) and climb in the Valley, but all camping was full, so instead we headed to the high country and climbed in Tuolumne. Holdless Horror was quite enjoyable, and turned out to be a great way to spend the afternoon.
|Posted Jun 4, 2006 7:20 pm
|Route Climbed: Holdless Horror Date Climbed: July 2002
|I led this route the day after hiking from Tuolumne to the Valley for a memorial service, at which I drank a lot of beer. These factors all gave me some concern as to my stability, but it ended up being a lot of fun. Holdless Horror is a cool crack route. Probably one of the best-protected 5.7s in Tuolumne.

|We climbed it on a nice sunny day. A fun route with a bit of offwidth. Another fun time in Tuolumne

|After climbing Cathedral Peak's SE Buttress on Sunday, on Labor Day (Monday) I climbed Holdless Horror with SCMA member Juan Carlos. I found this route to be a good beginner leader route. Plenty of places to place protection (particularly, nuts and aliens). A fun route, overall.
|Posted Sep 7, 2004 7:27 pm
|Route Climbed: Holdless Horror Date Climbed: June 21, 2004
|After a casual approach, we alternated leads so Etsuko can try leading her very first off-width (2nd pitch). As we were on the 3rd pitch, thunderstorm clouds rolled in and covered the area. As we were on the 4th pitch, it started raining heavily. I saw a huge lightning hitting the top of Medlicott Dome right next to us. Once we topped out, we grabbed the rope and literally ran off towards Cathedral Lakes in our climbing shoes to find shelter. This was one of these semi-epics that stay in your memory for years and remind you of a wonderful time spent in the mountains. Fantastic!

I am looking to get into PHP/MySQL coding and I am wondering for someone that has zero experience is it best to start with a framework such as Yii or CakePHP, instead of straight PHP coding. I figured the framework could help build the CRUD request easier for me.
Also is Yii or CakePHP a better framework for beginners? I would like a framework that I can build a customer DB and then turn it into a ticket system for a local service shop.
Thanks in advanceRich
What do you mean by zero experience? I mean, no experience at programming at all or just PHP language itself? If the former is true, you'll have to start with a newbie book/tutorial to actually learn the language first. These frameworks will be way too complicated for you to use if you aint familiar with OOP. If you have programming experience with other languages such as Java or C# though, it may as well be fine for you to start with a framework. Id actually say Yii or Codeigniter are more newbie-friendly frameworks, while Symfony, Zend and CakePHP are designed for professionals.
I have never written a program myself I have made changes to current ones, just as add a row or table and then add a field in a form but never really wrote anything from scratch, so I would call myself a hack or hunt or peak coder, so I would go with zero experience. I am very quicker learn and I understand logical stuff very quickly, not sure if this matter and I am sure it does but I very good with the cisco cli and understand routing very well as it logical.
So with that said and from that your saying I think its best I start with a beginners books such as
http://www.larryullman.com/books/php-6-and-mysql-5-for-dynamic-web-sites-visual-quickpro-guide-3rd-edition/ - not sure if I need to worry about PHP6http://www.larryullman.com/books/php-and-mysql-for-dynamic-web-sites-visual-quickpro-guide-4th-edition/
It is still best to start with the basics. PHP syntax, functions, and methods are different. Since Java, C# and PHP are all based on C, there are some similarities, and that will give you a leg up when jumping between those languages. However, you have to learn to walk before you can run.
Networking and entering commands via a CLI is vastly different than application programming or web development. A different method of logical thought is needed.
So with that said and from that your saying I think its best I start with a beginners books
Yes, but I'd recommend some of the books and courses that sitepoint offers:
as well as:
(Granted, this book is based on PHP 5.3, but it does a good job at introducing you to the language.)
not sure if I need to worry about PHP6
At this point, no. PHP 5.3 and MySQL 5.0.3 are the lowest common denominators these days. I've been seeing PHP 5.4 and MySQL 5.5 slowly roll out to different web hosting providers over the past few months. PHP 5.5 is out, but I haven't seen it in the wild yet. PHP 5.6 and PHP 6 are under development, but have no planned release dates, so it could be months or years before they see the light of day.
Consider trying to work your way through this: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/from_flat_php_to_symfony2.html
If you can get to the end then great. If not then at least you know what you will need to know.
And while not directly related to programming, this: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/http_fundamentals.htmlis a useful introduction to how web apps should work. Once again, consider it a guide to what you eventually need to understand.
Sort of like a grass hopper and a stone.
I have look at basic tutorials and I get bored quick I am more of a person that likes a challenge to keep my brain in it, I don't give up if its challenging to me.
I really think yii is the framework for me not sure why I just get the warm feelings for it, no not like my wife but I keep going back to the site.
Not sure if this was directed to me but the two links I gave you are not tutorials. Instead they attempt to explain frameworks work.
If you can skim through them in 5 minutes and not be challenged than you will be more than qualified to pick a framework. But I suspect you may find some of it challenging.
Though this might not directly address your question, here my two cents. When I first learned php I had a specific project in mind and I knew nothing but html but was motivated. I knew I needed a database so I searched the web for how to do this and made a basic table with a few fields. I knew I needed to connect to this database and access data so I searched how to do that. Once I figured these simple steps out and ran a few tests updating and inserting records it opened a whole new world to me. My point being, you can get bored working through examples in a book, but if you are creating a new project and working on learning things one step at a time, it can be really fun and rewarding. If you go with some ready-made program and just tweak things, but you may not understand or be able to modify things when needed, whereas you would know every line of a code you've created. When you get stuck on how to do something a quick search on the web or question to this forum should get you an answer and you move forward.
This my exact purpose is build an app, I have applications I would like to build sure their is apps out there is could use but its not exactly what I want on either one of them.
I think I am just going to dive in and go to work
Did you go with a framework or stayed with straight php?
I did straight php. As you learn you will pick up many great ideas for example creating a function if your application might need a query more than once. Let's say you want to list "Tickets". By wrapping the query inside a function named list_tickets() you can call on it any time you need it. You "functions" might be listed on a page called includes.php that you include() on every page. But just take things one step at a time.
Think of it this way, just as you link to a common style.css style sheet so you don't need to rewrite css on every page, your php can do the same and much more for you.
I think I am going to start with straight PHP coding and go from there, Drummin you sound like me I know enough html to get in trouble, lol.
I need to find a good tutorial and work with it. I need to have a vision in place for me to stay focused.
This site will serve you well: http://www.phptherightway.com/

Visiting Human Rights Faculty from Partner Universities in Colombia Participate in Intensive Summer Programming at WCL
The Center's Human Rights Teaching and Research Partnership Program just wrapped up an exciting couple of months with students and professors from partner law schools Universidad Javeriana Cali and Universidad Santiago de Cali, both of Cali, Colombia. Teams from both schools participated in the annual Inter-American Human Rights Moot Court Competition, with students from Santiago de Cali competing for the first time since 2003 and the Universidad Javeriana Cali team making it to the semi-finals. Valentina Varela, a student from Javeriana Cali was awarded honors for "Best Orator."
Professors from both universities remained in Washington through June to participate in the Academy on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law's Program of Advanced Studies on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, as well as an intensive legal English course. The Center was excited to host the partners and share some DC summer activities with them, including a Washington Nationals baseball game—all this in addition to other faculty training workshops and activities that took place during the 2012-2013 academic year.

Did you know?
Biodiversity conservation corridors help conserve threatened and endemic species and restore eco-systems.
The Eden to Addo Trail is the longest and toughest hiking trail in South Africa, and among the most biodiverse hikes anywhere in the world.
The trail begins in Kranshoek, in Knysna's indigenous forests, and meanders through 3 mega-reserves: the Garden Route National Park, the Baviaanskloof Mega-Reserve and the Addo Elephant National Park. This passage is known as the Eden to Addo Biodiversity Corridor.
Covering some of the Western and Eastern Cape's most remote and pristine landscapes, the Eden to Addo Trail is a cross-country endurance hike made somewhat easier by being an assisted slackpacking trail. Your luggage is transferred, your tent pitched, and all meals prepared for you.
On this biodiversity hiking trail, carrying only a light daypack and a sense of purpose, you'll pass through transition zones of afromontane forest, mountain fynbos, succulent Karoo, savanna grassland and Albany thicket.
Daily distances covered on the Eden to Addo hike average about 26km. The walking is strenuous, much of the terrain is mountainous and natural hazards en route include river crossings, wild animals and unpredictable weather – all worth it thanks to the immersive nature experience and stupendous views.
At night, fireside debates with your knowledgeable guides on conservation, climate change and the urgent need to proclaim biodiversity corridors such as Eden to Addo will stretch your intellectual muscles. While resting your aching limbs and feet, you'll hear stories of the world's most southerly free-roaming elephants, of which only nine are believed to survive in the depths of Knysna's forests, where your odyssey began.
The corridor and the hiking trail have yet to be proclaimed formally. The long-term plan is to make the trail a self-guided hike, but it is untamed country, straddling over 60 properties, and will take careful planning.

Clients will receive complimentary scheduled maintenance for the first seven years of the vehicle's life. Genuine Maintenance is Ferrari's exclusive program that helps to ensure that its vehicles are maintained to the highest level for maximum performance and safety.Read more
The program is unique- this is the first time a vehicle manufacturer offers such coverage worldwide and is evidence of the attention Ferrari gives to its clients. The Genuine Maintenance program covers the individual vehicle, and extends to any subsequent owner within the seven years. The program covers the scheduled maintenance labor along with the relative original spare parts, engine oil and brake fluid. The advantage to the owner is the assurance that the vehicle will be subject to regular annual inspections by Ferrari trained personnel using Factory-approved dedicated diagnostic equipment. For further information please contact an official Ferrari dealership.
The Ferrari Pre-Owned Warranty – POWER (Pre Owned Warranty for Exclusive Retail) – was created to meet the needs of clients who want a warranty for their car that extends beyond the standard period covered by the manufacturer's warranty.Read more
The Ferrari brand has long been synonymous with power, thanks to the superior performance and cutting edge technologies offered by its cars. However, this power has never compromised in any way the class, styling and elegance of the GTs. The result is a unique image, instantly recognisable the world over. To further enhance this image and as a testament to the reliability of the Ferrari product, we are now introducing the Ferrari Pre-Owned Warranty. POWER (Pre Owned Warranty for Exclusive Retail) was created to meet the needs of clients who want a warranty for their car that extends beyond the standard period covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
ADVANTAGES: Warranty: The new package means that your car can be covered for up to 10 years; Spares and repairs are covered and all work will be carried out by the professional mechanics of Ferrari's Official Assistance Centres. Pre-owned value: Another plus if you choose to sell on your car; The vehicle remains under warranty even if it changes ownership Safety and peace of mind: You can travel all over Europe in complete tranquillity, thanks to the 24h/7d Roadside Assistance Service REQUIREMENTS: The car must undergo an inspection by Ferrari's Official Network to certify its conformity (tallying of car's assistance history, service coupons, ordinary and extraordinary maintenance work carried out by Ferrari's Official Network; conformity of car to type approval requirements as specified by manufacturer) The coverage applies only to cars with a maximum entry mileage of 90,000 km All you need to do to sign up for the service you is go to any Dealership belonging to the Authorised Ferrari Dealership Network. POWER CUBE: the fourth and/or fifth year warranty POWER CUBE is a full warranty that offers the equivalent coverage as the manufacturer's warranty; It lasts one year and can be repeated for further year; it can be purchased only if the additional year of warranty has been subscribed to, or the vehicle has a commercial warranty coverage of thirty-six months from the time of purchase POWER NORMAL: the sixth year warranty POWER NORMAL is the Ferrari Pre-Owned Warranty offered for cars for which the manufacturer's warranty has expired and which are six years old or under; The warranty can be renewed and so the period of cover can be up to four years; It covers the main areas of the car: engine, transmission, trim and electrics. POWER TRAIN: the 10th year warranty This warranty only covers the gearbox and the engine and is available for cars under nine years old, for which the manufacturer's warranty has expired. Power Train is a flexible warranty and so may be purchased at any time.
However, there are two scenarios: Purchase between expiry of manufacturer's warranty and sixth year (Option 1); Purchase between the seventh and ninth year of the car's life (Option 2). The Power Train Warranty can be repeated several times to cover the entire period of possible coverage. However, its purchase excludes the purchase of any other successive warranty product. However, by purchasing the various Ferrari Pre-owned Warranties in succession you will be able to cover your car for a period of up to 10 years. Note: The Ferrari Pre-owned Warranty Programme applies only to Ferrari cars with Warranty commencement dates of nine years or under, excluding special and limited edition series (the F50 and Enzo Ferrari). Please also remember that all new Ferrari sold worldwide are with a three-year manufacturer's warranty.
Roadside Assistance is an allround programme, planned to guarantee peace of mind for Ferrari clients. The advantages of the programme are available for the entire period of the warranty for new cars from Maranello as well as for the cars with extended warranty.Read more

Ferrari has always been committed to reducing the environmental impact at every stage of the life cycle of our vehicles. Through this commitment it has developed a global policy for the protection of and respect for the environment through constant improvements in the production process and the creation of products of increasing Eco-compatibility. Under the European Directive "End-of-life Vehicle Directive" (2000/53/EC), Ferrari and its authorised dealers have taken steps to ensure that vehicles that have reached the end of their life can be disposed of with minimum environmental impact. If you wish to return back your Ferrari end of life vehicle without additional costs (except for those required by local legislations, like the deregistration fee and eventual transport cost until the Ferrari dealer) you may:
Contact the closest Ferrari dealer, that will then transfer the vehicle to an ATF (Approved Treatment Facility), where available, in charge of recycling and disposing of the vehicle in an environmentally friendly way. Obviously your Ferrari end of life vehicle must meet the following conditions: All significant components such as engine, gearbox, chassis, bodywork, catalytic converters, wheels and electronic control units must be present in the vehicle. There must be no additional waste in the vehicle. Ferrari, that is currently working to ensure compliance with the regulation and convenience for its customers, thanks you for supporting this environmental challenge.

This Friday, the London Business School Private Equity and Venture Capital Club hosts its annual Private Equity Conference. I will moderate the closing panel discussion called "Value Creation: Overtaking Leverage?" that will explore how buyout firms can create value not by piling on debt, but by improving the operating performance of their portfolio companies. This is a particularly topical issue right now, as debt has become more expensive, financing terms more onerous, and market conditions more challenging for portfolio firms.
In preparation for the panel, I have reviewed recent research–largely by financial economists–on private equity, operational improvement, and value creation. Recent papers provide some very helpful, and in some cases surprising, insights into how late-stage private equity firms add value. Below is a selective review of papers that bear on a set of questions related to how leveraged buyout firms create economic value through operational improvements. (For comprehensive reviews of private equity trends, see papers by Cumming et al. and Kaplan and Stromberg).

One of the strengths of Source Code Pro is that it does an excellent job of differentiating between similar glyphs. Here are a few easily confused characters in my blog's default font:
And here they are in Source Code Pro:
Here's a good look at some metacharacters:
Since I frequently use Vim as my editor, I decided to try Source Code Pro with the terminal, as well. Here's the before picture (using Menlo):
And here's the terminal with Source Code Pro:

The Library has two main sources of automotive repair information -- an online database and a collection of printed manuals.
The online database is called Auto Repair Reference Center* and is accessible at any library branch or, if you have a Library card, through our web site, thelibrary.org/automotive. The database leads you to information about your vehicle by asking for:
You then have the option of viewing or printing:
The Library's collection of printed repair manuals can be searched through the catalog at http://coolcat.org. The easiest way is to enter the vehicle model, (ex. Corvette) as a keyword search. You can then limit the search to show only the repair manuals by clicking on the "Modify Search" button and selecting Material Type: Repair Manuals.
You can sort by the publication date of the book, which will usually be later than the model years covered. Check the title or call number for the model years covered in the manual.

>General Running>Dog defence
Thinking of making one of these for use against dogs: http://www.etsy.com/listing/94586717/monkey-fist-self-defense-lanyard
Having been nearly attacked by several loose dogs (while the owners did nothing, I might add), I can say it was one of the scariest experiences
in my life. The above lanyard looks light; it should be easy to conceal under a t-shirt. Thoughts?
12 Monkeys
Monkeys are far far more dangerous than dogs, and cannot be trusted to protect you. I would much rather be attacked by a dog than depend on a wiley monkey.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Also, dude, what are you doing on Etsy?!

Etsy is all about handmade items and artists promoting themselves. Completely different from that estrogen trap Pinterest. I bought my beard beanie on Etsy, nothing manlier than an extra beard.

I stand corrected.
Feeling the growl again
I would think a good swift kick would be more effective than that, unless there is a lead ball in the center of it.
Seriously, there have only been a few dogs I have encountered -- a really mean Rott, a couple Pitts, a pair of Dobermans tag-teaming me, and a pair of Mastiffs doing the same -- which made me feel under-equipped to defend myself. An aggressive poster takes care of 90%.....a good kick or a punch another 9%....the last 1%...that will get the adrenaline up.

The Energy Chef: Better Breakfastsby Herb Mesa in Uncategorized, October 8, 2010
Wake up! This week I'm talking about breakfast. As the old saying goes, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." I know you've heard all this before, and I also know many of you skip breakfast. But eating breakfast starts you off in the right way. I wouldn't say that if I didn't believe it myself; in fact, let me show you what makes me "The Energy Chef."
You should try to eat breakfast within half an hour of waking up to get your metabolism running in the morning.My day starts off so early that I get to eat 2 breakfasts! My first one is usually oatmeal with cinnamon, fresh fruit and a teaspoon of ground flaxseed. Many studies have shown that it may help lower cholesterol (the bad one).
Then, I have a small protein shake on the side. I like to use unflavored protein powder because I can change the flavor to whatever I'm in the mood for that morning. Add a little cocoa powder to make it chocolatey, or orange juice to make it into a creamsicle. Sometimes I replace the liquid in my shake with coffee for a little extra kick. It tastes like one of those 5-dollar coffees with the fancy names, yet it's a lot better for you! Sounds delicious, right?
By the time breakfast 2 rolls around, I'm ready to cook. I like to make an egg white omelet or an egg white burrito with fresh veggies, a little bit of cheese, and a whole wheat tortilla. Always a winner. But my personal favorite is my protein pancakes! These are easy to make and are loaded with protein and fiber. Make these great-tasting pancakes ahead of time, and use the leftovers as a snack with a little natural peanut butter. It's like a sticky protein bar, but without the glue-like taste and artificial flavors and ingredients.
Herb's High-Protein Pancakes
Yield: 4 servings
Dry Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons organic cane sugar
pinch sea salt
Wet Ingredients:
9 egg whites
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup nonfat cottage cheese
2 teaspoon ground flax seed
In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix well. In a separate medium bowl, combine wet ingredients; stir to combine. Add wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until batter mixture is formed. Coat a nonstick pan or skillet with cooking spray. Heat pan over medium-high heat, then ladle 1/4-cup portions of batter into the skillet, to make a pancake. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancake, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook an additional minute on other side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

Practice your dice rolling skills and prepare your character because it's time to play Dungeons and Dragons with Disney princesses! Artist Alexandra Mihai set this delightful scene featuring Snow White as the Dungeon Master. The dragon on the table looks like Maleficent and, not surprisingly, Belle has her nose stuck in the player's handbok. Cinderella's probably making her mice do all her work for her, and I bet Mulan is kicking butt and taking names.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall observing this game night. In fact, it needs to be a web series. Please get on top of that, internet!

Sign up for our weekly email * The Venezuelan President, Hugo Chávez, has said he will nationalise the country's gold mines and convert gold into international currency reserves. As the US and European currencies founder, many investors are turning towards gold as a "safe haven". Gold is now valued at $1,795, or £1,084, an ounce. Chávez's moves also have an ideological aspect: the socialist president wishes to invest his country's reserves in some of the so-called 'BRIC' economies - Brazil, Russia and China - that he considers friendly to his regime. He has criticised global dependency on the dollar in the past, and his nationalisation of the gold industry will be seen as a step away from reliance on the US currency. The move will make China, in particular, happy. Next month, Venezuelans will see a ten per cent wage increase, after a raise increase of 15 per cent in May. The average monthly salary in Venezuela is now £220. Although the Venezuelan economy is suffering from extremely high inflation, at 25 per cent a year, the rising price of oil has benefitted South America's largest exporter of oil. Venezuela has recently introduced price controls in an effort to curb inflation and ensure affordable healthcare, passing a Law for Fair Costs and Prices. Private healthcare facilities earlier this week agreed to a three-week price freeze, as the government seeks to shore up its stretched public health system. Chávez, who is seeking re-election next year, announced the plans for the renationalisation of gold on state television, upsetting the Canadian-based, Russian-owned company Rusoro - the only foreign firm involved in the Venezuelan gold industry.

Tea Time Elephant Trek
Delight in the contrasting experience of riding a hulking, rugged elephant to an elegant tea party… in fact the most aptly named tea party in the world… one laid out in the tranquil setting of a genuine tea garden!
Muster after lunch outside the gate of the Heritage Bungalow, gaze down the road framed by towering trees and experience the full impact of seeing your majestic ride trundle towards you.
It is a magical image you will never forget.
Our staff can take photos as guests greet their personal elephant for the afternoon and clamber on top of the magnificent beast, one of the most revered creatures in India. The mahout (elephant minder) then gives the signal to ride out of the estate through local villages, bamboo groves and farmland, across babbling brooks and dried up river beds where, on a clear day the distant Himalayas are visible, and finally into the neighbouring tea garden where a white lacy cloth-covered table set with classic bone china awaits.
After dismounting tea is poured and curry puffs, delicate melt-in-the-mouth cucumber sandwiches and cake is served as guests relax in the dappled shadows of shade trees interspersed among the tea bushes.
Then, as the sun begins to sink, re-mount the elephant, walk, or be driven back to the bungalow in our vintage Land Rover, Range Rover or on the Royal Enfield motorbike… the end to a perfect afternoon.

YORK CRICKET CLUB face a potentially defining week in their season - and it's still only May.
The Clifton Parkers travel to table-topping Harrogate in the Solly Sports Yorkshire ECB County Premier League knowing defeat will leave them with a mountain to climb in a bid to secure an eighth successive league title.
They then go to County Durham the following day to meet Chester-le-Street in the third round of the Royal London Club Championship - the latest name for the ECB National Club Cricket Championship.
York trail Harrogate by five points in the table and, having not lost since the opening day of the campaign to Yorkshire Academy, vice-captain Nick Kay is keen to keep that run going.
"It's quite a big game," he said. "You don't want to fall two or three games behind with the weather the way it is at the moment. We have put a run together and established ourselves right at the top of the league. We know it is a long season with a lot of games to play.
"You can look back at these games and say these could be the ones that help you go on to win the league. We are looking to stamp a bit of authority on the game. They are very quick out of the blocks - they obviously do the right things in pre-season - while we can be quite slow starters.
"Castleford did us a favour by beating them a fortnight ago and, if we can win, we will be top of the league and it will be all to play for having played the same amount of games as Harrogate and the Academy.
"We have put together some very good cricket and, when you play at Harrogate, you have got to perform. You can't carry anyone with the bat, ball or in the field but there is no-one I would want to swap in our team and, if we are at our best, we will take some beating."
York, winners of the National Club Cricket Championship two years ago, visit the 2009 victors in Chester-le-Street for a match Kay believes could be "one of the toughest games that we will play".
He added: "We are playing a team that have won the National competition in the last five years. It's an hour and a half journey up there and they will have home advantage. We are quietly confident. We will have a full side out but it is one of those games we could win or lose.
"We have lost to Chester-le-Street a couple of times. If we could win, and get home advantage in the regional final, it would set us up nicely for a run at it. This could be one of the toughest games that we will play. They are a very fine cricket team."
Jack Leaning has been called into Yorkshire's T20 and County Championship squad so Richard Love comes into the side tomorrow and overseas player Travis Ilka will open the bowling.
Chris Burn retains his place for the weekend, with Glen Richmond coming into the side on Sunday in place of Ilka, who is ineligible to play in the Royal London Club Championship. Otherwise, York are set to be unchanged from the side that beat Sheffield United by nine wickets on Bank Holiday Monday.

Dear Readers, Authors & Publicists
Life is aways changing and my life is no exception…
Book Reviews By Bobbie began as a way to help readers make informed decisions about the books they buy. Book blogging has become so much more than a hobby and over the last few years, it has turned into a full-time project. I have and always will love the written word and I am fortunate to be continuing in the same book-related field as I have been. My company, Nurture Your BOOKS™, has grown tremendously and as pleased as I am about it, it is taking up far more time than I had initially anticipated. I am of course, very excited about the growth of my company, but it also means that I have to give up my hobby for lack of time; it is bittersweet but very necessary.
I have enjoyed so many fantastic books, made some life-long friendships along the way and have enjoyed every moment. I have had the honor to communicate with authors & other book bloggers from all around the world and had the privilege to work with some wonderful publicists who pour heart and soul into their work. I've enjoyed all the comments and I would like to thank all of my followers for their loyalty and support.
Book Reviews By Bobbie will still be online and available for readers but there will not be any new content added from this day forward. Any remaining TBR review titles that are still sitting on my shelves will be donated to local libraries where they can be enjoyed for years to come.
I wish you all the very best & thanks again.
Happy reading & happy writing!

The European Space Agency says its GOCE research satellite will crash to Earth on Sunday night or during the day on Monday. It says it cannot predict where the debris will hit. But it claims the small fragments that survive reentry are unlikely to cause any casualties.
GOCE -- which stands for Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer -- was launched in 2009 to map the Earth's gravitational field. It ran out of fuel last month, ending the mission.
Since then, the satellite has been spiraling steadily downward. Scientists say the 1,100-kilogram (2,425-pound) satellite already has fallen to an altitude of about 105 miles and is coming closer every minute.
Once it reaches an altitude of 50 miles, the satellite will break apart and most of it will burn in the atmosphere.
However, the space agency says about 20 percent of the spacecraft's original mass could survive and reach the ground. That portion, totaling about 200 kilograms (440 pounds) will break up into dozens of small fragments, scattered over a wide area. Scientists have been unable to calculate where or exactly when the debris will hit.
The agency points out that in the history of space flight, no man-made space objects that have re-entered Earth's atmosphere have ever caused injury to humans. It claims people are 250,000 times more likely to win the lottery than to get struck by any debris from the satellite.

Two schools went head to head in a combined sports day in Wimbledon on Friday.
Youngsters from Singlegate Primary School and William Morris Primary School took to the athletics track in Wimbledon Park to run, jump and shot put their way to victory on Friday, June 6.
More than 700 children took part in events such as javelin, long jump, shot put, discus and target throw, as well as making use of the 800m track for running heats throughout the day.
Executive headteacher Nathalie Bull said: "It took a lot of preparation and organisation to get here, but the day itself was amazing.
"The children should be so proud of themselves for their fantastic sportsmanship and commitment to improving their fitness levels."

FORT BEND COUNTY - Eyewitnesses helped deputies arrest two burglary suspects.
Christopher Mayfield, 22, and Floyd Wilson, 24, are facing two counts of burglary of a habitation.
Fort Bend County sheriff's deputies said the arrests cleared two residential burglary cases in the Cinco Ranch area. Detectives said the duo may be connected to as many as eight cases in Harris County.
On Jan. 29, deputies said they responded to a 911 call in the 2700 block of Zachary Bend Lane in the Woodhaven section of Cinco Ranch. When they arrived, a neighbor of the home that had been burglarized said she saw a black SUV with one person in it and saw another person get into the vehicle and leave.
Earlier, a resident in the 3900 block of Diamondale Court saw a suspicious black SUV and took a photo of it with her phone, deputies said.
A deputy arrived a few minutes later in response to an alarm and the neighbor showed the deputy the photo. Deputies on patrol said they found a SUV matching the description of the one they were looking for in the parking lot of a retail store on Westheimer Parkway.
Mayfield and Floyd were arrested at the scene, deputies said.
Witnesses identified the vehicle as the one they saw at the burglary sites and one witness identified one of the suspects in the case, investigators said.
Fort Bend County detectives searched the home of one of the suspects and found stolen property that helped clear eight Harris County Sheriff's Office cases.
Additional charges against the suspects are expected regarding the eight other cases.
Both men were booked into the Fort Bend County Jail under $10,000 bonds for each Fort Bend County burglary. Mayfield posted bail, but Wilson remains in the jail.

Melksham branch of the Royal Air Forces Association visited the National Arboretum in Stafford to attend a dedication of memorial stones and crosses at the Arboretum church and the Association Remembrance Garden.
Nine stones were dedicated, two of which were for past members of the Melksham branch, Gilbert Bourne and Mike Davey.
Gilbert flew Spitfires during the war, along with 17 other types, during and after the war.
The Spitfire was his favourite, according to his daughter Mary who, along with her husband, attended the ceremony and was delighted when the Spitfire of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight gave a flypast at the end of the ceremony.
Mike Davey's widow Pauline – along with her daughter Caroline – also attended the ceremony, and was equally delighted with the Spitfire flypast, as the Spitfire was also her late husband's favourite aircraft.
The service was conducted by the Padre of the nearby RAF Cosford, and the president of the Royal Air Forces Association, Air Vice Marshal Sir Dusty Miller, led the dedication of the stones at the Association's Remembrance Garden.

Mamaroneck teen's 'Over the Rainbow' puts her over the top
Last night's emotional "X Factor" exit of New Jersey teen-ager Beatrice Miller — who sang through the tears in a performance that seemed a bit cruel, even by reality-tv standards — was followed by the unveiling of the vote totals for the remaining eight acts.
When it came down to the top two, the faces were familiar: country artist Tate Stevens and Westchester's own dynamo Carly Rose Sonenclar. In every week the tally has been posted, Stevens has been atop the weekly leader board, a tally of most votes received.
But last night, they flip-flopped at the top, with Carly winning the most votes, for her performance of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," dedicated to her big brother, Russ.
Today is a day off at "The X Factor" and I was told that the Sonenclar clan — Carly, Russ, mom Terri and dad Bob — are making the most of it, celebrating Thanksgiving together far from their Mamaroneck home.
Then it's time to look forward to Wednesday, when Carly faces the voters again.

Leyton Orient have made a slight increase on the cost of season tickets, which went on sale on Wednesday.
The price increase is the first since promotion to League 1 in 2006 and it still compares with the 2008/09 campaign after ticket prices were lowered the following year.
There will also be no change to junior prices in the North Stand.
Adult tickets in the Gallery will cost £630 for adults and £430 for concessions. In the West and East stand, adults will pay £350 or £230 for concessions.
A South stand season-ticket will cost £325 or £220 for concessions. North stand tickets are priced at £220 for adults, £150 for concessions, £75 for Under-18s and £50 for Under-11s.
Concessions apply to Under-18s, Over-65s, students with a valid ID card, and current serving members of the Armed Forces, Disabled spectators are eligible for a free season ticket and must provide receipt of DLA at middle or high rate.
Chairman Barry Hearn told the club website: "It's a great opportunity to get signed up now and get behind the players and Russell Slade for the forthcoming year.
"We continue to do our absolute best to make football as affordable as possible for our supporters though we need to remain competitive and that means a very slight rise in prices. Nonetheless we believe the prices to be very fair and still offer great value.
"The average price increase is still less than £1 per game for supporters which I hope people are more than willing to pay given what a fantastic side we have here at the moment and how much it can cost to watch live football elsewhere in the capital.
"The support for the club has been magnificent recently and I'd encourage everyone to spread the word and get friends and family signed up for a season ticket for next season. It could be another memorable one and you wouldn't want to miss out," the O's chairman added.
The club are also keeping the referral scheme again. Referring a new season-ticket holder will qualify both for a ten per cent discount. Anyone referring ten new fans to sign up will get a free season ticket.
Stand Up For The Orient season-ticket holders who attended a minimum of ten games last season and still remain between 14 and 18, or a full-time student under the age of 21, will be able to claim another free one next season.
For more information on season tickets, visit the club website at www.leytonorient.com.

Love Actually has been named Britain's most romantic movie in a new study into viewers' emotional reactions.
The poll ahead of Valentine's Day found the 2003 tale triumphed ahead of other love stories such as Dirty Dancing and Ghost.
Online movie rental firm LoveFilm examined the neurological responses of couples to what they saw on screen, with the Richard Curtis-directed tale giving the strongest reaction.
The Notebook, starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, was runner-up.
"When a couple watch a romance together each person mistakenly attributes a part of the adrenaline buzz produced by the film to the presence of their partner," said Neuropsychologist Dr David Lewis, of Mindlab International, who analysed the reactions.
"Couples are far more likely to touch, hold, hug and kiss one another than couples watching a less emotional film," Lewis said.
"Our research shows that romantic movies can cause a romantic reaction, which is why snuggling up with a carefully chosen film is the perfect way to spend time together this Valentine's Day," said LoveFilm editor Helen Cowley.
Top 10 Most Romantic Films:
- Love Actually
- The Notebook
- Wall-E
- Notting Hill
- Dirty Dancing
- Ghost
- Pretty Woman
- Titanic
- Jerry Maguire
- Casablanca

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- We all screw up on a regular basis.I called David Einhorn a "hustler" when I probably should have just said he's always hustling. My camerawork on this week's conversation with Pandora ( P) co-founder Tim Westergren left a bit to be desired, but majority feedback tells me it wasn't that bad and the content overshadowed my lack of technical prowess by miles. All of that to say, I think hard before I go after somebody because a.) I want to get it right; b.) I realize I will make mistakes; and c.) nobody's perfect. However, if there was ever a time for a barn-torching, enter the china store like a bull just released from a studio apartment in Spain, this IS it. Thanks to Twitter follower @herringroup for catching Bloomberg's Betty Liu toss any Apple ( AAPL)-related credibility she might have had out the slamming screen door in the span of just 4-5 seconds: Yes. We must watch that again ... Context. Right. To be safe, we should check for context. Here's the entire two minutes plus. Liu's incredible statement comes right about midway through: There was no context. That's part of the problem. There's no defense -- none whatsoever -- for what Liu said there. Is there a product that can "save" Apple? Is she freaking serious? Alix Steel threw together the only bit of sense in what was a largely brainless conversation when she legitimately questioned Tim Cook's ability to innovate beyond evolutionary iterations of Steve Jobs-conceived groundbreaking devices. I hit that angle hard before it became a media obsession. I had no choice but to pull back a bit simply because Apple has zero meaningful competition and the media got way ahead of itself with what really looks a lot like an orchestrated campaign of hate toward Apple. I know there is absolutely not some devious Apple hatred campaign underlying financial media coverage, but when Liu makes such an absurd comment, she certainly doesn't help my case. In fact, after you watch her -- and that entire segment -- you could, as a perfectly sane and logical person, wonder if something is up. Man. There's really no need to bite back at the Is there a product that can save Apple? statement. It doesn't warrant a response; however, the larger issue it raises cannot continue to fly under the radar.

Allah is the sole and absolute power that creates all things. Satan's deceptive system has no effect on those who firmly believe in Allah.
A believer is a being that can think about everything with a clear and open mind in great detail and make solid decisions. However, satan sometimes wants to enmesh believers in negligence by taking advantage of one's forgetfulness, carelessness or lack of knowledge. But for believers the deceptive plans of satan never come to fruition . In the Qur'an, it is revealed as such:
He said, 'By Your might, I will mislead all of them except for Your chosen slaves among them.' (Surah Sâd,82–83)
Satan tries to confuse and enmesh believers in negligence by giving them suggestions. For example, he may prevent a person from doing a good deed, or by pushing a person who is about to say a nice word into saying a mean word. However, a believer knows that all such thoughts are the suggestions of satan. He takes refuge with Allah and does not abide by these impious suggestions by turning to Allah:
As for those who have faith, when they are bothered by visitors from satan, they remember and immediately see clearly. (Surat Al-A'raf, 201)

A CROOKED lawyer from Nelson faces up to five years behind bars for nobbling witnesses in a crown court trial to get his client off £310,000 fraud charges.
Majed Iqbal, 32, abused his position of trust as a lawyer by flying around the world to pay off witnesses for firms who had been ripped off by a Duracell energy drink scam.
But he was caught when he flew back to Manchester Airport days before the trial with a video clip of him negotiating bribes on a memory stick. He had copies of retraction statements on his laptop.
Iqbal had even tried to claim legal aid for his foreign journeys. He attempted to cover up the scam claiming client legal privilege meant the police could not look at his computer.
Four victims were systematically paid £133,000 and signed retraction statements to drop their police complaints. It coincided with Iqbal and his client Yasar Hussain, 31, flying out to see them.
Iqbal of Elizabeth Street, Nelson, was found guilty of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice after a seven-week trial at Hull Crown Court.
Yasar Hussain, 31, of Ashburnham Grove, Bradford, was convicted of 13 counts of money laundering and perverting the course of justice.
He was also found guilty of conspiracy to defraud by setting up the scam, but the judge ruled he could not take that verdict because it had not been proved he conspired with anyone else.
The jury found Hussain's brother Zameer Hussain, 28, of Moorland Close, Dewsbury, not guilty of conspiracy to de-fraud, but guilty to perverting the course of justice by withdrawing £30,000 from a bank and flying out to Dubai to pay off witnesses.
Iqbal, a father-of-two, represented Bradford nightclub entrepreneur Hussain who took a string of rich-middle-eastern businessmen for a ride selling the international rights to market Duracell energy drinks to five firms based in Dubai, Hong Kong, Hungary and Iran. It only existed in the form of 8,000 dummy cans.
The court heard the Duracell project became the talk of Bradford, as the brothers who run Pasha Shisha club, in Bradford and Preston, began showing the cans to friends.
The con came together by launching the drink at the three-day food trade fair in the World Trade Centre in Dubai in Feburary 2009. They had one of the largest stands with free cans.
Yasar Hussain and Zameer Hussain signed in as employees of Duracell. They even wore badges as international sales director and sales assistant. Customers in Dubai, Hong Kong, Hungary and Iran paid a total of £312,000 for exclusive international rights to sell the drink which only existed as dummy cans. Yasar Hussain set up a Nat West Bank account in the Duracell name.
Money began to be transferred. Around £300,000 was quickly withdrawn between May and August in 14 cheques in untraceable cash including one for £75,000.
By August 2009 when the family were £300,000 richer the website and phone lines were closed down. Angry customers were fobbed off with tales of a Duracell staffing crisis. One flew to England only to find an empty office in Leeds. They will be sentenced at a later date.
