Sad. The majority of this book really coddles and protects the integrity of the adulterer. Very little accountabilty for the cheater. This book also has little regard for, and mostly neglects, the feelings of the betrayed, and puts most of the heavy lifting of rebuilding on the betrayed's wounded shoulders. Insinuates it as mostly the betrayed's fault for "pushing" the cheater to into their affair.
While both partners are equally responsible for the problems in their marriage, that does not give anyone the right to bring another person into the marriage. No one is holding a gun to the adulterers head. There are many better options.
Plus... Sue is a materialistic bitch.
No. The distribution of blame and rebuilding is not fair and balanced.

"It was the best year of my life and I was in the middle of my radio tour when I got the call that we had lost my dad in a freak accident. How could that possibly be in the master plan? He was the best guy in the world, my biggest fan and was the first person I ever heard play the guitar and sing. I was in shock and lost. Who did I turn to?"
This week Cole Swindell opened up in an open letter to "Nashville" and it's really beautiful. He touches on one of the things I love most about Country Music. The feeling of family and community…the bond in our values and our hearts…knowing we'll always be there for one another. I'll be there for you, you'll be there for me, just like Nashville was there for Cole after the biggest loss of his life.
"Nashville. This town. My family. Country radio … It was like everyone had my back no matter what media partner, label, publishing company or PRO they worked for and I'll never forget it. I realized that some of my heroes, like Dierks Bentley, had also lost their dads and were there for me. Things like that make me proud to live in THIS town and proud to be a part of this format.
'Country' means a lot more to me than the sound coming out of your speakers. To me it's a big family. It's how you treat others, how you were raised. It's lyrics that can change your life. All that. We are all getting to do what we love and that's because somebody took a chance on us. I remember calling radio stations as a kid, annoying the DJ's to play my favorite songs from George Strait, Reba, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney and every other artist that I still love to this day. Now, to think there are kids doing the same for my music is mind blowing!"
You can read the full letter here. He goes on to talk about breaking his Mom's heart the day he moved to Nashville, how he felt like an outsider and he wants to thank you for your support of this song. A song he wrote for his late father.

In 2005 a small group of people with limited resources at Nokia started to develop a Linux based Maemo Operating System and devices based on it. The team was called OSSO (Open Source Software Operations). This becomes the basis for the Meego team as Nokia signed a partnership with Intel in 2010.
Nokia begun development of the Maemo 6 operating system in 2008 before the merge with Intel. This would turn out to be what is known as codename Harmattan, the OS that was supposed to bridge the gap between nokia's Maemo and Nokia+Intel's Meego. The name Harmattan by the way is the name of an African trade wind, inline with Nokia policy then to name their UI versions based on trade winds.
The Harmattan User Interface Concept
What makes the Harmattan user interface concept interesting is because it was originally based on the principle of Activity Theory. Which is a framework for studying human behaviour and development processes. The theory was originally developed by the Russian psychologist Vygotsky and then continued by his peer Leont'ev.
Leont'ev said that people engage in "actions" that do not in themselves satisfy a need, but contribute towards the eventual satisfaction of a need. Often, these actions only make sense in a social context of a shared work activity. This led him to a distinction between "activities," which satisfy a need, and the "actions" that constitute the activities. Leont'ev also argued that the activity in which a person is involved is reflected in their mental activity, that is (as he puts it) material reality is "presented" to consciousness, but only in its vital meaning or significance. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_theory)
The aim was to utilize information on how people combine tasks and communicate with each other, and thus support these ways of working instead of focusing people to adopt technology based working models. The system would adopt to the way the user interacts with it, to ensure reciprocated interaction. (http://taskumuro.com/artikkelit/the-story-of-nokia-meego)
Here is how it was applied to the original concept of Harmattan UI as stated in the article mentioned above:
The main view was supposed to display the name of the carrier, third party applications, and the state of the device (battery, signal, time) to give the users a sense of control over the system. The main view should also have quick access to key features such as contacts, phone, email, browser and search. Whereas all notifications and previews was supposed to be shown in a designated place.
We all know what happened to Harmattan and Meego as Nokia's CEO Elop decided to burn the ship and sign a partnership with Microsoft to have their devices run solely on Windows Phone. We also know how that turned out for Nokia, but that is a subject for another discussion.
I thought the interesting principles behind Harmattan was dead , however quite surprisingly it turned out that it did not.
After a long hiatus, I'm glad to announce that the basic principles of Harmattan UI is now alive on a rather unsuspecting device,
The Nokia Asha 501
You can check out Nokia Asha 501's full features on this rather excellent in depth review by +Chris Davies from Slashgear.
While here is a video by the skillful Peter Skillman from the Nokia Design team explaining the phone and its user interface.
With that said, I'm not going to talk at length about its hardware. Instead I'd like to focus on the UI design of the Asha 501 and why I think it is an important piece in Nokia's efforts to regain some of their marketshare.
It's been a year and a half since the first launch of the Nokia Asha low cost line of products that currently spans across 17 devices.
Honestly, none of the previous Nokia Asha products managed to catch my attention. For me, they were the personification of everything I don't like about dumb phones and Nokia's old line of Symbian "smart" phones with their low quality screens, messy user experience and sluggish interface.
Which is why I was so surprised when I first checked out the reviews of Nokia Asha 501.
Make no mistake , deep in its heart, the Asha 501 is still based on Nokia's Symbian S40. But if we take a look at it's UI, it is quickly evident that there's very little of the old S40 sluggishness present. Nokia's designers have done a great job in optimizing the UI that scrolling and swiping between screens look fluid, probably the most fluid I have seen on sub $100 phones. But what's more interesting to me is the set up of the UI itself, here's why:
First, the phone only has a single hardware button and quite brilliantly, it is not the home button (because the phone does not really have a conventional homescreen) but rather the back button. Intriguing eh? I assure you, it gets more interesting.
You wake the phone by double tapping the glass screen. Once the phone is awake, you will see a "main view" screen which is home to a large clock, the phone's status and notification cards. Here, you have the option to either swiping the individual cards and get sent directly to their respective apps , allowing you to take actions on said notifications (see the activity theory roots in action here?), or swipe the whole screen and get into the application launcher consisting of a grid of vertically scrolling icons.
This application launcher is one the phone's two "home" screens. If you swipe right from this grid of icons you will go to the second homescreen that Nokia calls the Fastlane.
The Fastlane is where the Activity Theory pedigree of Harmattan really shows.
Peter Skillman of the Nokia design team calls the Fastlane the place where you can see you past, present, and future activities.
Past, because it shows you the activities you've done in the past , such as calls you've made, emails you've sent, tweets and so on.
It shows you your Present activities, by displaying your recently used apps. Coupled with the singular back button, the fastlane can serve as a quick application switcher because if you swipe left from any application, you will return to the fastlane while swiping left again from the fastlane will send you to the application launcher.
The fastlane also shows you your future because if you pull it down, it will show you your next calendar events.
Swiping from the top gives you a quick settings pane which will allow you to switch between the two SIM cards you have on the phone, set up bluetooth, ringer settings, etc.
The fastlane goes hand in hand with Leont'ev's description of activity theory. The objects you see on the fastlane are the activities you do to achieve your objective, while tapping on the individual objects brings you the tools you need to conduct the activity. Also, as have been mentioned before, swiping left from any app you've called up (or pressing the back button) will send you back to the fastlane. Oh have I mentioned that all this happen with smooth animations?
The amount of thought and effort that went into creating this experience, on what essentially is a bottom of the barrel phone, is uncanny. In fact, I don't think I have ever seen similar level of effort being put into a super low end device anywhere else.
Another thing to note is that this phone's browser, apart from offering multi-tabbed browsing, is supported by Nokia's client side compression service which you would be familiar with if you have used Opera Mini. This has the potential of saving up to 90% of your data usage allowing you to do more with a limited data plan.
One of my biggest worry about Mozzila's Firefox phones is the fact that it relies on web apps to do anything, meaning it has to always be connected to do the things the user wants to do with it. If one can only afford a sub $100 phone, would one wants to get the phone that will require one to spend half that amount each month on data plan? Nokia's solution seem to have solved this issue.
With Nokia able to deliver such a smooth and elegant user experience coupled with excellent built quality (it even has edge to edge scratch resistant glass) on a $99 pre-subsidy phone, I'm pretty confident about Nokia's future in capturing the super low end market. Other phone manufacturers better take note.

Title: "Fun With Strawberries"
Author: T'Prillah, (Aug 2009)
Fandom: Star Trek, The Original Series
Pairing: Spock/McCoy
Rating: M
Summary: Spock and McCoy have some fun with strawberries and chocolate and clothing. PWP. Frottage and more.
Disclaimer: Star Trek, Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy all belong to Paramount. I just like to play with them, then hand them back, unharmed. Mostly.
"Hi, Spock."
The first officer looks up as the good doctor cheerfully enters his quarters, without signaling, as usual. "Is this the attire you had in mind?" Spock asks as he sets down his PADD, rises from the desk, walks over. He spins around, slowly and allows the human to inspect his lean form.
Earlier that day, the doctor had been nosing around in Spock's wardrobe, spotting the tucked away folded up ensemble in a drawer and demanding: "Wear this tonight".
"Oh, Lordy..." McCoy gives out a strangled gasp. "That's--that's' a really good look for you." Definitely an understatement. The sight is so erotic, McCoy is now painfully aware of his hardness now trapped in his trousers.
Spock looks absolutely delicious in tight, faded blue jeans that appear to be painted on. Denim clings to his ass, moving with him, showing off a tremendous bulge in the front. Spock's also wearing a soft grey cotton T-shirt that clings to every muscle in the forearms. McCoy's mouth twitches at the sight. He can't tear his eyes away. "Where..." He gulps down a mouthful of air as he realizes the Vulcan is barefoot. His eyes dart back to the bulge. "Where did--you get those jeans?"
"The denim trousers were a gift from my mother."
"They're called 'jeans' Spock. Blue jeans."
"Ah. Duly noted. Jeans."
"Amanda sent these to you, huh?" McCoy keeps up the ogling. "I'll have to--uh--thank her."
Spock rolls his eyes. "I have indulged in your demands. Have you brought along the item I have requested?"
"Right here." McCoy smirks and holds out the box.
Spock takes the box from him, opens it, sniffs and nods satisfactorily. "This shall be adequate."
"Just adequate?" McCoy's lips mash forward in a slight pout. "Guess again. These are the biggest, ripest strawberries I could find. This chocolate I got from France. I melted it in Christine's fondue pot and hand-dipped them myself. No synthed shit for you, darlin'. Lucky for you it was a slow day in sickbay."
"Indeed," Spock replies. "I can ascertain by the succulent odor they are real, hand grown strawberries. I was expecting you to bring to me a bar of French chocolate as I'd requested. I am however, intrigued at this and gratified that you have found a use for the arboretum strawberry plants."
"Good. I'm glad you approve." McCoy bounces his heels. "Well, instead of wasting our precious time yammering about it, how about we--"
"That is the best idea I have heard all day, Doctor."
McCoy smiles and holds out his arms. "Goddammit. Come here. I've missed you, you Vulcan pain in the ass."
Spock goes to him, gets close enough to smell the Saurian Brandy on his breath. He takes two fingers and traces McCoy's soft lips. "First, dinner."
Oh Jeezus...
McCoy's sitting across from the Vulcan and watching that damned hobgoblin fill out very nicely those fucking tight blue jeans. It is an absolute torture, sitting here at the desk, making polite dinner conversation when he is nearly dying from the goddamned anticipation.
McCoy doesn't want to eat a thing. He wants to touch that perfect, huge bulge residing in the front of those jeans. He wants to run his hands along the firm, strong, slender thighs. He wants to feel the thick fabric and hem under his fingers. He wants to grab onto that well formed ass. He wants to throw that Vulcan down onto the deck, undo that button fly and suck him off, swallowing everything Spock can pump into his mouth. He wants the Vulcan to retaliate by sucking him off. He wants to straddle those hips. Hips that have a slight indentation at the waist. Perfect for grabbing and straddling. He wants to slide that massive Vulcan cock inside him. He wants--
He tries to avoid gulping down his food.
Just a few bites more.
"Finished already, Doctor?"
Goddamned right he is. "Oh..." McCoy lets out a puff of air and says in all innocence: "I was hungry."
"Evidently. Shall we have dessert?"
At that invitation—and he doesn't need to be asked twice-- McCoy pulls the hobgoblin over to the bunk, yanks him down to sit, pulls out a chocolate dipped strawberry out of the box and holds it up to his lips. Spock tries to pluck it out of his grasp with his fingers. "Uh uh." McCoy shakes his head insistently. "Open your damned mouth."
Spock's graceful eyebrow heads up to his bangs in a mental question mark, but he obeys, tentatively sticks out his tongue in response, touches the very end of the swollen red fruit, caked in the rich brown chocolate. He closes his eyes in appreciation of the taste. The chocolate melts immediately upon contact with the heat of the alien tongue.
"You like?" McCoy chuckles.
"So, you'll really get drunk just from consuming chocolate, huh?"
"I believe I have told you as much. As drunk as you are from brandy at this very moment, Doctor."
McCoy sighs in irritation: "I am not that drunk. And the name's 'Leonard'."
"I am aware of your first name--"
"Then use it, Spock. How long we been lovers?"
"Two standard weeks, three standard days, twenty seven point two standard minutes--"
"There you go. I'm not feeding you strawberries so you can keep on calling me by my title."
"In that case, Leonard—mmmphh..."
McCoy giggles maniacally, then his eyes widen in lust. He is nearly undone at the sight of Spock's mouth clamped around the large strawberry. He can't help but imagine that same mouth, eventually encased tonight around his own aching cock. He stares dreamily into those doey, brown eyes as those pearly white teeth bite down on the ripe, red, fleshy fruit. The scent released into the air with the bite is intoxicating.
Spock's eyes roll up into his head for a precious second as he swallows. He opens his mouth, much more eagerly this time and nearly bites off McCoy's fingers to catch another morsel of fruit. He licks off the remaining melted chocolate from the doctor's fingers. McCoy feels himself grow even harder inside his underwear, if that is at all possible.
"Mmmmm," Spock murmurs. "More."
McCoy whimpers then recovers. "There's more where that came from, but first," McCoy tugs at Spock's soft, grey, cotton tee-shirt, "take this off. I want to see you."
Spock obliges him, pulls it up and off. McCoy grunts in appreciation, runs his fingers though the thick black hair on the sternum.
"I expect you to do likewise," Spock nods at the doctor's silvery sickbay smock. "Off."
McCoy grabs onto the hem of his smock, feeling its silkiness caress his fingers as he yanks it and the black cotton undershirt off in one smooth move. Now exposed, the hair on McCoy's chest is just as thick, just as sexy as Spock's, but light brown in color. Spock runs his hands along it, allowing it to tickle his palms, eliciting a gasp as a warm fingertip makes contact with a nipple.
"More, strawberries," Spock demands breathlessly. "Quickly."
McCoy giggles, pulls out another, takes a bite of it himself. He pulls the Vulcan to him and claims his mouth. Spock sucks the chocolate and strawberry from McCoy's teeth. He breaks away from the doctor's lips, bends down, puts his mouth around the half eaten strawberry in the doctor's fingers, pulling it out of his grasp.
McCoy clamps his mouth around the other side of it, and together they bite down on the fruit, juice and melted chocolate combine in their mouths. They swallow their respective pieces of fruit, letting their lips meet in a bruising, chocolate kiss.
They repeat this same action with the third and fourth and fifth strawberries. McCoy's mouth feels sore from being sucked on so roughly. But he doesn't care.
"Chocolate," Spock is now explaining, "has an effect on the Vulcan nervous system that is much more than simple inebriation..."
Spock pushes the doctor down onto his back, rolls on top of him and thrusts his own hard cock against the doctor's hardness, both organs still trapped in their respective fabric prisons. "Chocolate heightens the intensity of sex."
"Oh...I see..." McCoy murmurs against the Vulcan's mouth, out of his fucking mind. Much more of this frottage and he'll come in his pants. He clamps his hands onto the denim encased ass. He pulls the Vulcan against him harder. The Vulcan rubs against him for a moment, then pulls away. "Hey," McCoy protests.
"Not yet," Spock admonishes. "You are too close."
"Tell me about it." McCoy reaches for another strawberry. The chocolate is melted in the box by now from the heat of the cabin. As he picks it up, the melted chocolate covers his fingers. Spock lifts up McCoy's hand and sucks the delicious treat from every digit. McCoy groans out: "Oh...Spock..." at the sight.
Spock pulls the strawberry from McCoy's hand and offers it to the doctor. The doctor nibbles the fruit out of his hands hungrily. Spock licks the remaining chocolate from the human's hands.
Sitting the doctor up on the bunk, Spock kneels on the deck, in between the doctor's thighs.
"Oh...what are you doing?" McCoy wonders dreamily. His bedroom voice is so soft, so melodic, with a slight Georgian undertone. Spock closes his eyes at the sound of it. So unlike the usual gruff demeanor in sickbay. So beautiful. He runs his tongue along the doctor's cock, still encased in underwear and black uniform pants.
"This prominent bulge of yours," Spock mutters, under the influence of chocolate, black fabric held in his teeth, "is what I study intently every day."
"Nowhere for it to go," McCoy whispers back. "They can't make these damn things any tighter."
"Hmmm," Spock hums against his cock.
"Oh...ohhh!" McCoy suddenly shouts, brought right to the edge by the hum combined with the heat of Spock's mouth, still hot even through two layers of clothing.
Spock reaches up and touches the doctor's forehead. "Not yet."
McCoy groans in appreciation as Spock pulls him back from the edge with that simple touch. Spock replaces his mouth on the fabric encased cock, grabs onto the doctor's hands, stroking the palms with two fingers. He brings the doctor to the edge again, pulls him back from it. Brings him to the edge, pulls him back, once again.
"You can't keep this up all night," McCoy pants heavily, "you'll kill me. But, what a way to go." In a quick move, McCoy yanks Spock up, pulls him over on top of him, meeting their engorged organs together.
Spock thrusts against him, harder and harder. McCoy, underneath him, can't hold off any longer, doesn't want to. His breath hitches and he comes hard inside his underwear.
Spock, along side of the doctor, waits patiently for the man to recover, idly drawing a pattern into his arm and chest hair.
McCoy breaths heavily, muttering something about: "...shouldn't be engaging in this shit at my age...I'll be fifty years old in a week, for cryin' out loud..." Spock rolls his eyes. Fifty is nothing, even for a human.
Another minute and McCoy is ready. McCoy rolls over, straddles the Vulcan, dips a hand into the pool of melted chocolate from the box. Spock sucks every finger clean obediently. The nimble surgeon's hands quickly undo each button on the fly of the Vulcan's jeans. They draw out the massive Vulcan cock, coat it in chocolate. McCoy enjoys his treat, not stopping as Spock is squirming, not stopping while Spock is grabbing his bare shoulder, leaving crescent shaped indentations which will become bruises, not stopping till he tastes that Vulcan come and hears that dulcet toned moan.
McCoy is hard again. He wants to go on all night, 'cept this time he wants to be taken, wants Spock to fuck him, fuck him while stoned on melted chocolate. McCoy tugs at his own waistband, unfastens his trousers, pulls them down past his knees and takes them off, the same goes for his now soiled underwear and his socks, out of the way and onto the floor.
He leaves those jeans on the pixie. He wants to feel that thick denim fabric hitting against his thighs.
He reaches over, hands Spock the lube, flips over onto his stomach, rising up to all fours. "Hurry."
"Are you certain you are not too old for this shit?" Spock asks very innocently, waits for it.
McCoy cranes his head and melts at the Vulcan's impish, chocolate induced grin. "Damned elf."

Nothing beats well-read dick.
We all know that reading can get you laid and women tend to read naked, but men have often been left out of the rich literary tradition that is the nude reading portrait. If you've been looking for a photography series to bridge the gap and fulfill your male librarian fantasies, I've found your new favorite Tumblr. Eat a bowl of well-read dick (NSFW) may be the best named blog on the internet, and it's home to countless shirtless, bottomless, and full frontal men enjoying the deep wonders of literature. Sapiosexuals everywhere will appreciate just how good a bare naked man looks next to your favorite tome. Who knew that all it took to enliven French satire was to put Voltaire next to a bicep?

"Research shows that when someone is deficient and you supplement, there is an improvement in energy," says Barrient.
But credentialed doctors aren't the only ones administering B12—and warranting patients aren't the only ones lining up for them. Google into a medical spa, juice bar, weight loss clinic, or even a beauty store and you may notice something: Everyone is making claims about B12: Boost your metabolism! Increase your energy! Lose weight!
And many (reportedly including Madonna, Justin Timberlake, and Charlize Theron!) swear that a prick or pill is just the fast fix they need. The thought process: Supplementing (no matter your actual B12 levels) will increase energy. "That's not the case though," says Barrient.
Why? Vitamin B12 is water-soluble: "When taken in excess, your body eliminates what it doesn't need," she says. So if you're not deficient, you're wasting your money. Most accounts from healthy people swearing by B12 boils down to a good ol' placebo effect: If you're told something works wonders, you'll likely to feel that it does, Barrient says.
It's been widely reported that almost 40 percent of Americans could be B12-deficient, according to the Framingham Offspring Study. But if you look more closely at those numbers, you'll see that this study actually found that 39 percent of people had B12 levels in the "low normal" range—well above the accepted level of deficiency. In fact, the National Institutes of Health suggests only one to one and a half percent of people suffer from a shortage. Most of us take in enough from food—milk, eggs, fish, poultry, and fortified cereals (all of which are prominent in the American diet).
That's not to say everyone is safe from lagging levels. Some—vegetarians, vegans, people with Chron's or Celiac disease, and those who abuse alcohol—are susceptible to low levels because of diet choices or absorption issues.
But don't succumb to a marketed solution off of a self-diagnosis—see your doc. Signs of low B12 levels (fatigue, weakness, sore tongue, tingling and numbness in your fingers and toes, difficulty walking, mood change, or memory loss) are also symptoms of other medical conditions, says Barrient.
Fallen for the craze (and worried your levels are in the clear)? B12 doesn't build up toxicity like some other vitamins can when taken in excess, says Barrient. That means that you likely won't see any negative side effects from too much. Like cellulite cream, it won't help, but it probably won't hurt.

IE 5.0 No Right Click
After some time thinking my scripts and graphics were all secured with the almost unbreakable "no right click" script. I discovered that the script can be easily bypassed. Simply hold down the right mouse button and hit enter and the old IE right click menu shows up again.
function noRClick(){
if (event.button == 2 | event.button == 3)
{alert("Copyright © 1999, All rights reserved.");}}
Here is another method although it only works for IE 5.0: click the right mouse button.

I wonder if someone can help ID a problem I'm having. I can't properly mount any USB devices -- e.g., iPod, digital camera, or portable USB drive. They all show up OK in the System Profiler, but they simply don't mount. However, my USB-mounted printer still works properly.
I've tried swapping devices into different USB slots & doing reboots. Also, this started happening around the time I put in a new wireless router (Belkin N+), which has a USB port for network storage, but the problem persists if I take the router out of the loop.
Please pardon if this is an obvious problem. Any ideas how to fix?

Run the Apple Hardware Test on your machine. Sounds like your USB ports are not providing power. The printer will continue to work from the port because it doesn't draw power from it, only print signal(s).

Returns and debuts are always the story come the first preseason game. That will be no different when the New England Patriots travel to play the Washington Redskins on Thursday night.
The large story in the nation's capital this offseason—aside from the ongoing debate about their nickname—was the hiring of Jay Gruden after four seasons under the guidance of Mike Shanahan. Gruden was the offensive coordinator for the last three years for the Cincinnati Bengals, where he orchestrated a top-10 offense behind Pro Bowlers Andy Dalton and AJ Green.
An equally accomplished passer-to-receiver tandem was supposed to present itself in the return of Robert Griffin III (who sat out the last three games of 2013 to limit the damage to his already busted knee) and the debut of DeSean Jackson. However, the latter hurt his ankle in a drill with Patriots newbie Darrelle Revis during Wednesday's third and final joint practice. Jackson, who signed a three-year, $24 million deal in April, could miss the game Thursday. Certain to be out of the game will be the NFL's top receiver of 2013, Pierre Garcon (113 receptions), who is sidelined with hamstring issues. These injuries will make it difficult to assess how Gruden's philosophies on offense will materialize.
As for the visiting team, several all-Pro names are on everybody's eye, but the biggest who will play at FedEx Field will be Revis, arguably the most valuable defender in football. So far, the former divisional foe from the New York Jets has done nothing to dispel how much of an impact he can make, shutting down receivers—like Jackson—and picking off Tom Brady multiple times in practice when tested. Vince Wilfork, at 32, is also back following a ruptured Achilles that sidelined him for the final 12 games a year ago.
Training camp observers say the defense at camp is on par with the offense for the first times in years, and is capable of becoming a top five D in the league. Speaking of the New England offense, Brady—who just turned 37 earlier this week—is slinging the pill like he always has, and has toyed with the Redskins defense during the three-day joint practices. That is even without Rob Gronkowski, who is nursing a torn ACL and MCL, or backup tight end Michael Hoomanawanui.
New England looks to also be without first-round pick Dominique Easley, the undersized defensive tackle out of Florida who has a fine chance of starting Week 1. Another rookie to be on the lookout for is quarterback Jimmy Garappolo, the 62nd pick from Eastern Illinois and possible heir to Brady. Garappolo won't see the field until the second half, which, by then, could have already exposed a defense that ranked 30th in total points last year (29.9/game).
Washington did little to bolster their Jim Haslett-led defense, besides drafting Stanford all-American linebacker Trent Murphy with their first selection (47th overall). They also return inside linebacker Keenan Robinson and strong safety Phillip Thomas after missing all of the 2013 season. One last name to keep an eye on is suspension extraordinaire and "Big Bang Clock," Brandon Meriweather, an old friend to those in New England and starting strong safety in DC.

Batman Reboot
My ideas on of how the rebooted Batman should go. (A slightly edited version)
Filed Under: "
Fan Fic
Since July, Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy has ended. Since then, Warner Bros has announced their intention to reboot the character.
As if right now, it looks like the rebooted Batman will make his appearance in the Justice League film in 2015. I personally like the idea of introducing him in the JL film first instead of them doing another solo-film. I think they should make Batman steal the show like what they did with the Hulk in the Avengers film. When they casted Mark Ruffalo instead of Edward Norton, fan weren't happy at all. After seeing The Avengers, everybody is prasing his performance and they want to see more of him in his own film. That would be a great way to do the rebooted Batman.
*Edit by me*
I made this as a teaser poster. I heard an interesting idea of them using the same costume from Batman: Arkham City which I personally love. Heck, I'd love to see a live-action version of the games in general. They had a very interesting feel to them as if they were taken right of the comic book pages. The chances are that they aren't going to use the costume in the movies. But I'd love to see the black and grey suit.
I'd like to see to see a different design with a similar concept. Keep the Grey and Black and insert different designs. I'd like to see him have some eye wear, it'd be something not done before in a Batman movie.
In Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, we saw Ethan Hunt used Electromagnetic gloves to climb Burj Khalifa. Ever since I saw that scene, I thought that it would be cool to see in a Batman film. I'd love to see him use that gadget.
- The film should start a few years into his career as Batman. Give the into a Hulk-styled intro which included flashbacks of the important stuff. It should include his parents getting shot and him making the suit.
- Batman should be alone which means he doesn't have Robin just yet. However, we'll see a reference to the Flying Graysons. (Include him in the sequel, though.)
- The villain should be someone we haven't seen before on screen. I was thinking of Hush, Calender Man, or even Black Mask. I settled with Killer Croc since it should separate from the realism from the Nolan series and I think he'd look amazing on screen.
- Bruce/Batman is investigating murders across Gotham. Each victim is brutally ripped apart in a way. He starts to believe that the killer may not be human but a crocodile or alligator.
- The Gotham Police Department are investigating the case but Batman is the one who's finding out new information. (he doesn't really have backup).
- The film should hint other villains and characters in the Batman universe. Similar to how the Batman: Arkham video games did it.
- The final battle should take place in the sewers and Croc should look similar to his counterpart in Batman: Arkham Asylum.
When Robin is introduced into the universe, I'd like to see him looking this:
People love to bash Robin because of him being too "campy" for a dark themed Batman universe. If they use the same type of costume from Arkham City, I think Robin could be such a cool character of that universe. If they introduce different Robins give them each a different costume so they can be known as their OWN Robin.
If there's a Batman, there must be a Joker too.
When The Joker is introduced into the timeline, he should look like this:
No one can beat Heath Ledger's performance. However, the only way to to do just as good as Ledger's Joker is to do a completely different type of Joker. I'd like to see a Joker very similar to the comic books. I'd want to to see more laughs and more jokes as from the comic books. In the reboot series, I wanna see his origin to the Joker where he's the Red Hood first.

Neverland depicts a dream I had that began with me floating through the clouds and descending upon a mysterious island. Upon landing, I was met by the island's natives and my dream began to shift back and forth between dream and nightmare. During my visit I was transported through scenes of such intense beauty, scenes of dancing, music, rituals and even a few moments of nightmarish violence.
When I awoke I wrote about the dream in sounds and rhythms, depicting the scenes I had experienced. Neverland is an attempt to recreate my experience in a musical setting, including the manner in which dreams and nightmares flow freely into one another.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Abducted Palestinian Christian Leader Found Dead
- Evangelists Attacked in Karnataka, India, by Hindu Radicals
- Anglican Panel Says Episcopal Bishops Made Concessions on Homosexuals
- Poll: Southern Baptists Say 'Don't Drink'
Abducted Palestinian Christian Leader Found Dead
The Christian Post reports that the body of a prominent Palestinian Christian was found stabbed and shot on a Gaza City street, raising fears among Gaza's Christian community. Neighbors say Rami Khader Ayyad, the 32-year-old director of Gaza's only Christian bookstore, had been abducted by unknown assailants near his home late Saturday afternoon before his body was found the next morning with a visible gunshot wound to the head and numerous stab wounds. Ayyad's store, the Teacher's Bookshop, is associated with the Palestinian Bible Society, and Ayyad regularly received anonymous death threats from people angry about his missionary work, his family reported. In April, the bookstore was firebombed during a wave of attacks by a shadowy Muslim "vice squad."
Evangelists Attacked in Karnataka, India, by Hindu Radicals
According to ASSIST News Service, two evangelists were beaten up by Hindu attackers in a church in Mangalawadi village, Karnataka on Thursday, October 4. According to a report by the Global Council of Indian Christians, the evangelists, Sudhakar and Issac, who work with an organization called India Ministries, were ministering in Mangalawadi when they were attacked. The two men were worshipping with other believers in Jnanamuni Memorial Church when at about 8:30 p.m., a group of 15-20 Hindu radicals barged into the prayer hall and stopped the evangelists from conducting the worship service. They then attacked the two evangelists, beating them with their fists and also kicking them savagely. Evangelist Sudhakar was badly injured and began bleeding profusely. On seeing his deteriorating condition, the attackers left the hall and he was taken to the nearest government hospital, where he is now undergoing medical treatment. Local Christians approached the police authorities the next day to lodge a complaint. However, one of the main police officers sent them away without registering their complaint.
Anglican Panel Says Episcopal Bishops Made Concessions on Homosexuals
OneNewsNow.com reports that "a world Anglican panel acknowledges that Episcopal bishops have made concessions to ease the turmoil they created in 2003 by consecrating their church's first openly homosexual bishop. But the committee says all sides in the conflict over the Bible and homosexuality need to do more to keep the worldwide Anglican fellowship from splitting. The advisory report from the lay-clergy Joint Standing Committee was written for Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the Anglican spiritual leader, as he struggles to prevent a schism. Anglican leaders had set a deadline last Sunday for Episcopal bishops to pledge unequivocally not to consecrate another homosexual bishop. The bishops responded that they would 'exercise restraint.'"
Poll: Southern Baptists Say 'Don't Drink'
Baptist Press reports that a majority of Southern Baptist senior pastors and laity believe Christians should not drink alcohol and that using it could cause other believers to stumble, according to a new poll by LifeWay Research. The survey asked Southern Baptist and non-Southern Baptist pastors and laity a series of seven questions about alcohol, ranging from their views on whether getting drunk is against Scripture to whether drinking alcohol is an example of Christian liberty. Among Southern Baptists, 77 percent of senior pastors and 59 percent of laity believe "Christians should not use alcohol as a beverage." Those percentages fall, though, when Southern Baptists are asked whether "Scripture indicates that people should never drink" alcohol. Forty-one percent of SBC pastors agreed with that statement, while 34 percent of Southern Baptist laity did. Those percentages are higher than they are among non-Southern Baptist Protestants.

March 15, 2011: Ninth Circuit Upholds Tenants' Right to Remain After Owner Opt-Out
In July 2008, the owner of Park Village Apartments, finally gave legally sufficient notice to opt out of the project-based contract. In the federally required notice, the owner certified that he would honor the tenants' right to remain in their homes with enhanced vouchers after termination of the project-based subsidies. However, when attempting to increase the rent to market-rate, the owner refused to honor his prior certification.
Park Village Apartments, a rental housing community for senior citizens, was developed in 1978 with federal project-based Section 8 rental subsidies. In July 2008, the owner finally gave legally sufficient notice to opt out of the project-based contract, to be effective in July 2009. In the federally required notice, the owner certified that, after termination of the project-based subsidies, he would honor the tenants' right to remain in their homes with enhanced vouchers. However, when attempting to increase the rent to market-rate, the owner refused to honor his prior certification.
Represented by Bay Area Legal Aid and the National Housing Law Project, the tenants obtained from the district court a preliminary injunction enforcing their federal statutory right to remain with enhanced vouchers, which prevented rent increases and evictions, and required the owner to take the steps necessary to participate in the enhanced voucher program.
On appeal, the Ninth Circuit decision agreed with the district court and held that the tenants have an enforceable statutory right to remain in their homes at their current rent levels. In reaching this conclusion, the court relied on other federal cases on similar issues, the statutory scheme, and the intent of Congress. This ruling aligns the Ninth Circuit with every other court that has considered this question, as they all found a statutory right to remain.
Although affirming the tenants' right to remain at Section 8 rent levels, the Court vacated the final part of the injunction that required the owner to enter into contracts with the local housing authority, holding that the tenants failed make the necessary showing of irreparable harm required for a mandatory injunction. This part of the ruling prompted a dissent from Judge Fletcher, who would have affirmed the district court's preliminary injunction in full. It's worth noting that, in light of the now well-established right to remain, few owners would decline to execute contracts to receive the enhanced voucher subsidy payments.

Here are some more suggestions about what to say in your letter. Find the section that best reflects the issue you want to complain about:
Every local authority has to have a complaints process. Your local authority should explain on their website how they deal with complaints and how long they will take to reply. You can also phone them and ask for a copy of the social care complaints procedure. A social services department must have a member of staff who deals with complaints. This person is called the complaints manager. The complaints manager may bring in a person who is independent of the social services department to help resolve the complaint.
Your complaint must be made within a year of the event you are complaining about. Your local authority can accept a complaint after this in exceptional circumstances.
You can make a complaint over the phone. But, for most people, it is easier to complain in writing. You can spend time making sure you've said everything you want to say, and clearly. It's also easier to stay calm. You can keep a copy which could be really important if you have to take it further.
The complaint should come from the person who receives the care unless they:
In both cases the person should have the opportunity to express their views if they are able to. The complaint should be based on these as far as possible.
However you complain, there are six golden rules:
For these reasons, we advise you to complain in writing if you can. Once you have written your complaint, you can either post or email it. If you post it, use 'signed for' (recorded) delivery, if possible.
Ask a friend or family member to read it through. If you're getting help from an advice worker or advocate they can help you with this. They can help check that you have included everything and explained things clearly.

Boeing's second P-8I maritime patrol aircraft for the Indian Navy performed its initial flight on July 12th, a step forward in the testing program for the aircraft.
The aircraft, a derivative of the Boeing 737-800, is expected to be delivered in mid-2013.
The Indian government ordered eight P-8I aircraft in 2009 in an order valued at $2.1 billion. The aircraft is specially customized for the Indian Navy, and will greatly boost the anti-submarine and anti-surface capabilities of the Navy.
The P-8I will replace the ageing Tupolev TU-142Ms which the Indian Navy currently operates. Ilyushin IL-38SDs and Dornier aircraft are also used for surveillance operations by the Navy.

(Adds details about workers and public concern in China)
By Chris Buckley
BEIJING, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Rebels in the Sudan border state of South Kordofan are still holding 29 kidnapped Chinese workers, the official Xinhua news agency said on Monday, contradicting a Sudanese report that 14 of them had been freed.
Their plight has attracted hundreds of thousands of online comments in China, where the country's expanding footprint abroad and awareness of its rising status have fanned acute public sensitivity to any threats to nationals overseas.
The rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) said on Sunday it took the 29 workers for their safety after a battle with the Sudanese army. The army has been fighting the SPLM-N in South Kordofan bordering on newly independent South Sudan since June.
Sudan's state SUNA news agency said the military had freed 14 of the workers.
The Chinese embassy in Khartoum said though 17 Chinese workers were taken to safety by the Sudan army after they escaped the rebels, another 29 were still held by rebels, Xinhua reported.
Xinhua also quoted an unnamed Sudanese official as denying that any of the detained workers had been freed.
"The abducted Chinese personnel have had all communications links with the outside world cut," an unidentified Chinese embassy official said, according to an earlier Xinhua report.
"The unstable political situation is the root reason for attack, and the possibility cannot be excluded that the rebels are targeting Chinese as a bargaining chip with the government," Li Xinfeng, a researcher on African affairs at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the China Daily newspaper.
In a reflection of public concern, Chinese news websites set up special sections to follow developments and allow readers to post comments.
By Monday afternoon, the popular Sina news website (news.sina.com.cn) accumulated over half a million readers' comments discussing the workers and circulating reports about them on its accompanying microblog service.
"Wherever Chinese people go, there's always something that goes awry," said one comment. "It's not easy for Chinese people who want to make a bit of money," said another.
The mass evacuation of tens of thousands of Chinese workers trapped in Libya when fighting broke out there last year also become a major news event.
Sudan, where China maintains major interests in oil and infrastructure building, has been a focus of Chinese anxieties.
Sudan and South Sudan, at odds over a range of issues including oil revenues, regularly trade accusations of supporting insurgencies in each other's territory.
South Kordofan is the main oil-producing state in Sudan. The SPLM is the ruling party in newly independent South Sudan, which broke off from its northern neighbour. South Sudan denies supporting SPLM-North rebels across the border.
SPLM-North is one of a number of rebel movements in underdeveloped border areas which say they are fighting to overthrow Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and end what they see as the dominance of the Khartoum political elite.
Chinese reports said the workers were taken by the rebels who attacked the compound of a Chinese construction company in the area between the towns of Abbasiya and Rashad in South Kordofan.
Wang Zhiping, a manager for Sinohydro Corp Ltd that employs the workers, said the company and government agencies were "doing everything possible to rescue the missing workers", Xinhua said.

similac vs enfamil
My sons on similac sensitive but we have a ton of coupons for enfamil and i'm wondering if i can just use the gentle ease kind?sooo....
Is similac sensitive the same as enfamil gentle ease or are they different?If they're different how?
Re: similac vs enfamil
Enfamil Gentlease is only lactose reduced while Similac Sensitive is lactose free. So it really depends on how sensitive they are. You could try and if it doesn't work then just go back. My DS could go back and forth between the two with no problems but DD can't have it at all.
Re: similac vs enfamil
Here is the referrence from their websites:
Infant Gas and Digestive Troubles - Enfamil
Similac Sensitive Infant Formula - Easy to Digest Baby Formula for Less Fussiness & Gas - StrongMoms
I would say it's worth a try, and if he doesn't do well, you can always go back :)
Re: similac vs enfamil
thanks i'll try it

M-type hexaferrites play an important role at the permanent magnet market since several decades because of their excellent performance cost ratio. Even slight improvements in magnetic properties would be of great importance for industrial application, which triggered many attempts to tune the magnetic properties by substituting elements at various lattice sites. While most of them led either to a decrease of magnetization or to a reduction of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy, the La-Co substitution causes an increased magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Recently this increase was explained by the influence of the Co ion. But already in the 1970's an increased anisotropy was found also for the pure La hexaferrite. To clarify the role of the rare earth element for enhancing magnetocrystalline anisotropy, detailed investigation of rare earth substituted hexaferrites. Emphasis was put on the La substituted Sr hexaferrite including the pure La hexaferrite.
The investigations contained the preparation of the material, the characterization with spectroscopic methods (X-ray, Mössbauer, NMR), examinations of microstructure with SEM and optical microscope as well as magnetization and anisotropy measurements. Electron structure calculations based on the density functional theory were performed in order to give a theoretical explanation of the magnetic properties of this compound. A strongly increased anisotropy was observed for the La hexaferrite at low temperatures, while La substituted Sr hexaferrite with concentrations smaller than La/Sr=3/1 exhibited a decrease with decreasing temperature. It was possible to fit all experiments and calculations to a picture, giving a qualitative explanation of the enhanced anisotropy.

Liebster Blog
Earlier this week, Miss Ashley from 'Modern Mommy Magic' selected 'The Diary of a Working Mother' for the Liebster Blog!
I was so excited, I screamed (yes, literally...it doesn't take much to excite this Mama) "I GOT MY FIRST BLOG AWARD!" So thank you my dear for making this Mama's day!!
Now, you may be curious, as was I, about the Liebster Blog. The Liebster (German for friend or love) Award highlights up-and-coming bloggers with less than 200 followers. And, by just typing it into Google, you can see the span of awardees!!
There are a few rules (but they aren't so bad!)
1. Show your gratitude to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
2. Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Post the award on your blog.
4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the Internet - other writers (and in this case, a fellow Mama!)
5. Best of all...have fun!!
The Diary of a Working Mother's Liebster Awards Go To...

Recharge and Reenergize
My career path has been anything but normal. I didn't follow a traditional path to get to where I am today. What do I mean by that? Well, some people go to school because they know EXACTLY what they want to do - they like numbers, major in business and finance and end up as an accountant, or, they want to be a teacher so they pursue a degree in education.
When I started college, all I knew was that I wanted to be an IUP Majorette. That dream (or reality) was short lived, and after that period was over, I wondered from major to major - music education to math education to applied math. One thing was certain, I had no clue what I wanted to be 'when I grew up.'
I knew that having an internship was important however my department didn't have a formal internship program. What did I do? I blazed the trail for other students in my department and helped lay the foundation for establishing internships.
After I started my job with my current employer as an 'Engineer' (not formally trained working for a Defense Contractor), I found out about an organization called 'The Society of Women Engineers.' I thought it would be helpful to associate myself with an organization that had such a powerful message - 'Aspire. Advance. Achieve.' I knew that I could learn a lot from an organization that focused on advancing the role women play in a predominately male driven field and encouraging women to pursue degrees in engineering. Being that I worked in a male-dominated industry, I knew SWE was critical to my success.
I quickly became involved and participated in my first SWE Conference. The conference was held in Kansas City and the theme was 'Women Blazing Technology Trails.' Quite fitting for my journey thus far. I was absolutely amazed at the conference - the sessions on engineering, leadership, struggles and triumphs validated my reason for wanting to join such a wonderful society.
I wasn't getting the opportunity at work to develop my presentation skills, so I naturally looked to SWE to assist. I submitted an abstract for the next National conference and imagine my surprise and delight when I was not only asked to present, but to make the session a 4 hour Career Enhancement Series. Talk about a challenge! For the past 5 years, I've developed, expanded and perfected my public speaking skills and all because SWE provided the opportunity and I decided to take advantage of it.
After taking a year off to experience the joys of motherhood without any added activities, I'm back at the conference speaking on 'Guilty: The Diary of a Working Mother' and sharing my lessons learned for navigating the first year of motherhood and parenthood.
After participating in today's sessions, filled with wonderful information to take back to the work-place (and I do plan to share them with you, too!), I realized why I love participating in the 'sWE' National Conferences - motivated, engaged, and enthusiastic participants who feed off of the energy of the other participants and, knowingly or not, REENERGIZE, RECHARGE and INSPIRE their fellow SWEers to be the best they can be. Yes, SWE Members, YOU are TRUE LEADERS! Read more...

Normally, I wouldn't believe in this kind of thing but after watching this footage I have to consider the possibility. DeAnna Simpson and her husband put everything they had into buying their home in Hanover, PA. However, after they moved in, Simpson quickly learned it was haunted. According to her, they've lived there for seven years withseveral ghosts and a demon.
"We put everything into this house," says Simpson. "And we do want to move, but we would have to list it at such a price where we could recoup what we put in."
Now, I know you're skeptical. However, Fox43 sent inphotojournalist Nick Petrillo. Upon entering, Petrillo felt his hand burning and there was a visible scratch on his wrist.
Simpson has audio recordings of voices, children laughing, and dogs barking. Even during the report on air, a door mysteriously slams shut.
The wife believes there are a number of ghosts in the house. Some of them are women who protect her from the dark forces. In one photo taken in the basement, she captured a shadowy, seven-foot-tall figure whom she believes is ademon. While reporters were there, Simpson recorded orbs on her cell phone camera and even a shadowy hand.
"Because you're telling the story," she says. "Because you're putting it out there, because they don't want that. I'm just telling you, right now that is their way of a warning."
After the segment, reporters were convinced that the home ishaunted. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
Please SHARE this story if you think something explainable or not is going on in that house!

I have just go through a report managing desire for food-suppressing drug treatments, primarily 1 referred to as Apettite supressants 37.5 milligrams (this is the universal name it's printed with labels like Fastin).
I needed to browse the record 3 times ahead of I understood it…filled with long words and specialist-speak! But surely that this drug handles the signs and symptoms with the problem, i.elizabeth overindulging as opposed to the problem itself, i.e why people binge.
Folks overeat for a lot of motives, one of them dullness, depressive disorders, tension and often just practice. Consuming is pleasurable it energizes Inchesfeel-goodIn . chemical substances within the mind. Chocolate is acknowledged for this, amaze, surprise. In the end, what is superior to a family group-sized pub of Fresh fruit and Nut? Making love? Mls behind!!
With a more dangerous take note, this excellent experiencing does not last. And that means you proceed having. And finally it turns into a behavior that you simply cannot quit. And don't want to. The truth is your body ballooning. So you create a huge energy and use a diet regime. Big error! (See our other content for our thoughts of diet plans!). Now you might be unpleasant. All imaginable is foodstuff. By Wednesday lunch break you've got quit. So that you emotionally beat on your own up. And so it proceeds….
In summary, and without any technobabble, there's an area in your mind that tells you when you are hungry. So that you eat. There is certainly another area that tells you for those who have acquired sufficient. Which means you cease eating.
However you can bypass these In .buttonsIn . if you try with enough concentration. Therefore seating disorder for you, equally individuals that you try to eat weak hands (for example anorexia) and the ones in places you try to eat an excessive amount of – resulting in being overweight, experience uncontrollable, and resorting to needy procedures. This is where you switch to famous brands Apettite supressant 37.5 mg from http://womansdepot.com, which works by unsettling the InchswitchesInches, therefore minimizing your hunger. Apettite supressant 37.5 mg also stimulates the hormones which take control of your human body's In .flight or fight" response, which buttons from the Inchcraving for foodInches indicator and reroutes much more bloodstream for the muscle tissue much less bloodstream towards the abdomen and digestive system all set for that demand for "Activity!" Which never will come.
Think it over if something startles you, or you have to all of a sudden run to grab a kid from the street, meals are the very last thing you consider! These appetite-quelling drugs interfere with the biochemistry within your human brain. They're able to basically be obtained on doctor prescribed, and that is only after a thorough healthcare check-up – they will not be decreed if you have certain heart disease as they thin modest veins and can lead to crucial interruption for the air offer for the heart. They may also raise the pressure behind your vision, so they won't be prescribed when you have glaucoma. Or overactive thyroid. Or past elimination stones. In most cases you'll have to use a Body Mass Index over 30 (i.at the overweight) that need considering.
Nevertheless, it looks like Apettite supressants 37.5 milligrams from http://thenewsolarenergy.com is a vast improvement about the previous drugs employed for appetite manage Amphetamines. You got it, I kid you not. But the major problem with these (apart from the unwanted side effects) was that people became hooked! If they didn't keep getting them, they endured revulsion, occasionally getting severely ill.
But Phentermine 37.5 milligrams is equipped with lasting unwanted side effects included in this likelihood of anaphylactic distress (also attractive!), xerostomia, arrhythmia (unusual heart rhythm), shakes or jitteriness, stress and anxiety, sleeping disorders, lack of sexual drive, rise in blood pressure level…Should certainly I carry on? And even though not considered as habit forming, they can be routine-developing, resulting in the signs of revulsion. And also to hat everything?
You simply can't bring them for too long as your system will become resistant and they also cease working!
Eating too much features a lead to. It is primarily the that you need to deal with, as opposed to relying on drugs. Substitute therapies such as a hypnotist and traditional chinese medicine are already known to be beneficial. Keep a balanced view. Apettite supressants 37.5 mg must be a final vacation resort.
Long Lasting Unwanted Side Effects Of Phentermine 37.5 milligram
I have just go through a report managing desire for food-suppressing drug treatments, primarily 1 referred to as Apettite supressants 37.5 milligrams (this is the universal name it's printed with labels like Fastin).

A Musical Note On Gettng Seen, Getting Heard And Getting Picked Up
The music industry seems to be getting bigger than ever. Nowadays, the advent of the online world makes it easier to find new ways to enter the music world. However, that doesn't mean that it takes any less effort. In fact, it can muddle where that effort is supposed to go. So, let's bring it back to basics. Let's ensure that you're doing what you need, both online and offline, to get yourself picked up.
Treat it like a job and a business
There are no two ways about it. You need to devote time to the point that it might not even fun at times. Set yourself a schedule for music improvement. This includes setting aside practice time for your instrument or voice, writing time, and learning more about the production and quality of tracks. Look for gigs at least once a week. More than that, focus on the 'business' of you as an artist. Consider your brand image, get some top-notch artist photography and build yourself a professional artist site. You need to put in the work not only to ensure you're putting out the most top quality material but to give yourself the kind of recognizable dedication that scouts are going to be looking for.
Put yourself out there
So much of music is about public perception. But if you're focusing too much on directly meeting with and solely playing for the public, you might be forgetting others that you should be working to network with. You can connect with all kinds of figures in the industry with online tools nowadays. From managers like Coran Capshaw and record labels to influencers, bloggers, and radio hosts. If you don't put in the ground work to build a bit more of a profile for yourself, you never know who is actually going to be paying attention to your work.
Get involved in the community
While you should be networking with people inside the industry, you can't forget the value of those who are expressing their passion just as much as you are. Besides any potential fans, make sure that you're meeting with other artists. Not only is it a good idea to look for inspiration from wherever you can get it. You should be looking for more opportunities to collaborate with those whose styles can mesh with yours. That can give you the access to another group of listeners thanks to the fans of artists you collaborate with. These joint projects are one of the easiest ways to raise the profile of any artist or band. The more you can make waves with your name, the more likely it is to get noticed by someone with the power to help you make a living from your music.
There is no way to get into the music industry with a half-hearted effort. You have to work on your music, on your career, and in your community, all at once. If you're unable to do that, then you will never get the kind of recognition that you believe you deserve.

This Hot Model/Chef Wants to Make You Dinner
Courtesy of Ford Models
Today is one of the greatest fake holidays of the year—National Men Make Dinner Day—and in celebration of the occasion, dashing English model Isaac Carew, of Ford Models, wants to serve you dinner. But don't you worry—there will be Top Ramen involved. In addition to being an accomplished male model with countless campaigns under his belt, he's also a trained chef—browse his Instagram for a glimpse at his culinary masterpieces—and will soon launch his own foodie website, TheDirtyDishes.co.uk, which will host his recipes and short cooking videos.
To serve you dinner, virtually at least, Carew is sharing his recipe for potato gnocchi with basil pesto. Read on below and enjoy!
Courtesy of Isaac Carew
Ingredients for Pesto
1 large bunch basil, end stalks trimmed
1 large garlic glove
50 g grated parmesan
50 g toasted pine nuts
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Olive oil for sauce consistency
Pinch of salt
Ingredients for Gnocchi
2 potatoes, baked
100 g fine plain flour
Pinch of salt, or to your own preference
To make the gnocchi, bake the potatoes at a high temperature for an hour until soft and fluffy. Remove potato skin by cutting the potato in half and scraping out the insides. You then take the fluffy skinless potato and put it through a ricer or, alternatively, mash them. You'll get a lighter, fluffier gnocchi through a ricer, but mashing it works fine too.
Dust surface with flour and add around 100 g flour to your potato until you get a dough-like consistency. Then cut the dough in half and roll it into a cigar-like shape and cut into thumb-sized pillows
I like to blanche mine for a minute or until they float to the top of the boiling water, drain, then pan-fry them in butter until light golden brown.
When my gnocchis are ready, to make my pesto I add all the ingredients into a blender and blitz until smooth.
I like to place the gnocchi on a dinner plate and drizzle the pesto on and around the lumps of pillowy goodness, grate parmesan all over them to your preference, and scatter a few toasted pine nuts.
Tip: Save potato skins for another dish. You can bake the skins with herbs and spices of your choice and can make mini edible salad bowls or just enjoy as they are with a yummy sour cream dip.

Consumers in Asia-Pacific are the most socially conscious shoppers in the world, according to a new Nielsen report.
The Nielsen Global Survey of Corporate Social Responsibility polled more than 30,000 consumers in 60 countries around the world in February and March this year in order to understand which consumers are the most supportive of socially responsible actions, which social issues are concerning these consumers the most and how sustainable practices influence consumers regarding purchasing decisions.
The survey found that 64 percent of online consumers in Asia-Pacific were willing to pay more for products and services provided by companies committed to positive social and environmental impact. This percentage is higher than that of Latin America (63 percent), the Middle East/Africa (63 percent), North America (42 percent), Europe (40 percent) and the global average of 55 percent.
Within the Asia-Pacific region, the Philippines ranked highest with 79 percent, followed by Vietnam (73 percent), Thailand (71 percent), Indonesia (65 percent), Malaysia (57 percent) and Singapore (48 percent).
"We see the strongest propensity to buy socially and environmentally responsible brands from consumers in emerging markets such as the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand where consumers face extreme levels of poverty and frequent encounters with natural and environmental disasters," said Stuart Jamieson, Managing Director of Nielsen Philippines.
