Day 20 and 21 of Ultimate Reset
Jun 11th
Crazy busy weekend to finish off my 21 day reset – the last two entries are video blogs
Post Reset – Day 1 of ?? Let the experiments begin!
Jun 11th
I have officially made it through day one post reset.
The real difference was that I had my mid morning snack and I snacked a bit after dinner.
Here is what I had:
Breakfast: 1/2 papaya, about a cup of grapes, couple strawberries, 3/4 nectarine
Snack – 1 slice Ezekiel bread and thin layer of almond butter – about 2tsp
Lunch – Large bowl of spinach, 1/2 avocado, 1 small red grabefruit, 2T mixed nuts and a dressing of olive oil and lemon. (Recipe from the Forks Over Knives Cookbook
Snack – Leftover seaweed, edamame and carrot salad (SO yum!)
Dinner – Small bunch of kale braised (favorite way to prepare) leftover serving of brown rice and sauteed veggies (coconut and sesame oil – my new favorite)
Snack – blueberries and slice of watermelon (I could seriously eat blueberries till my head falls off!)
We had planned on doing a big hike but Chris' knee started to bother him and it kept us from that so I didn't have much exercise today.
I don't know if it was the elevation change from our drive up the mountain today or the bread but I hit a wall mid afternoon (about 2 hours after eating the bread) I also noticed that I was slightly gassy and bloated. Other than that it was a pretty "normal" day.
Ultimate Reset – Day 19 of 21 – Are we there yet???
Jun 8th
Have I mentioned I am just ready for this to be done? Don't ge me wrong, I feel really good and I am REALLY glad I am doing this but I really don't think this is the way I want to live for ever and ever.
I'm NOT saying I want a cheeseburger and cookie, I just don't watn to be so strict.
I think I'm most curious to see how my body reacts to the foods that I was used to eating. I wouldn't call it a "craving" so much as I just "want" certain foods – mostly bread. I'm glad I began eating "like a man" for this week as I need more calories with my amount of activity. I'm also looking forward to working out but unfortunately with upcoming travel I wont be sticking to a program.
Before the reset I actually ate pretty healthy, granted when we were traveling it wasn't perfect so this reset has been GREAT to start me, and my kitchen off on a super clean foot
I have been giving a lot of thought as to how I want to come out of this. There is a transition period, of another 3 weeks actually, where you slowly add things back in. I already know I will be transitioning much faster as I will be traveling a week after the reset is done and we have a friend in town mid week. I kind of wish I had two weeks between finishing reset and traveling.
I imagine I'll be "tasting" foods, not eating an entire meal of fish, dairy, grains, cookies etc. But if Chris is eating something I want to appreciate the taste of I'll try it. I'm looking forward to trying some recipes from Forks Over Knives and Eat, Taste, Heal which are both "new to me cookbooks". I love that a lot of the Reset meals are similar to the meals in the cookbooks
Anyway… Thanks for reading my journey. It's not over yet!
Here was my breakfast today. Since I didn't prep the night before I ended up blending my frozen cherries and peaches with a bit of water – it was really good!
Lunch was really good. I enjoyed this salad.
I totally forgot to eat my afternoon snack. That never happens to me. I was really hungry for dinner and totally forgot to take a picture! I enjoyed the tempeh better this time than I did the first part of the reset.
Prep for day 20
Breakfast fruit plate is ready
Lunch – switched it to another spinach salad
Dinner – No need to prep, can make it all fresh.
Ultimate Reset Days 18 -Happy Birthday to Chris!
Jun 7th
It was Chris' birthday and we went out for dinner. I think I did pretty good actually. I even managed to make him carrot cupcakes without licking the bowl or trying any! (I did freeze one to have another day!)
Since we were heading out to dinner I ate my "dinner" for lunch and planned on having a salad at dinner. I was really looking forward to trying the fennel but sad to say I wasn't overly impressed. I have a few more recipes from the Forks Over Knives cookbook to try so I'll definitely try those next week.
There were some options at dinner that would "work", meaning they were vegan and grain free. I opted for two small salads, a grilled kale salad and a roasted beet salad. I say this will "do" as I'm sure the dressings that were used (a papaya "relish" probably had more sugar than any of my dinners the past two 1/2 weeks.) Honestly, I like my beets better
Not drinking is not hard for me, although it would have been nice to have a glass of wine! What I missed the most was trying the fresh bread and tasting the fish Chris ordered.
I didn't end up prepping anything for Day 19 at all as we were out later than normal.
Ultimate Reset Day 16 of 21 The end or the beginning?
Jun 5th
Crazy busy, fast, full day, but OH so good! It's Monday and I LOVE Mondays!! I start my Monday at 6am on my bike listening to an inspiring call that makes me want to help as many people as I can. I come home pumped up and ready to work through the day.
Things are ending, things are beginning. Exactly as the day is beginning here in Hawaii it is finishing somewhere else. Nothing ever really ends, does it? It's just a cycle of life…
I "finish" two things this week. On Thursday I finish a 30 day business bootcamp training, on Saturday I "finish" this. But not really, I still need to officially come out of it. I am already setting up my own training to help others grow their business. I am determining exactly how I will come out of this Reset. As much as I'd like to just go back to "normal" I DO want to be smart about this and really pay attention to my body. And what is normal? Could this be my new normal? Parts of it, yes. All of it, probably not.
Honestly, I don't have much in terms of Rest to report. It was a pretty normal day. Energy level was good, just got pretty hungry today. I was SO busy I didn't really have time to let it affect me.
My lovely breakfast – even Chris said it was "pretty"
Lunch wasn't very photogenic. I flipped the Asian Cabbage Salad for today's lunch. I didn't eat the miso soup option (probably should have, I was hungry!)
My snacks this week, when not Shakeology, has been my new favorite, carrots and avocado! Not sure if I am craving avo, or if I just REALLY like it but I seriously could eat avocado all the time! I didn't even like it 3 years ago… totally missing out!!
Dinner was ok. I'm full, so that is good, but I did opt to "eat like a man" and added not only the optional 1/2 cup of brown rice but added the additional serving that men get to add. I enjoyed the curried cauliflower but it just didn't feel like enough of a "meal". Yesterdays dinner was much better.
Prep going into day 17
My fruit plate is ready for breakfast
I made the carrot salad so it's ready for lunch. It smells AMAZING!! I can't WAIT to eat this and I am sure I'll be eating this again!
Dinner – I'll cook it fresh tomorrow.
Ultimate Reset Day 15 of 21 – SO much better!
Jun 3rd
Wow! BIG difference today! I feel emotionally MUCH better, a bit light headed today though.
**Maybe** part of my good mood has to do with an AWESOME post in my Jiggle Free June Challenge group from Stephen A.
I showed this to Chris who read it and told me that my breath has in fact been a bit "different" during this! Well, thanks! Now you tell me! I have a good man for putting up with me through this! xo
Anyway, I texted Stephen because I was SO excited about his FB post and I get this back from him:
"Thanks Mandy for all your encouragement and help. If you were here I would hug you. I feel so good about myself. There's no stopping me now."
Seriously! Give me a minute as I rub the goosebumps on my arms and wipe the tears from my eyes. That is SO going in the "don't quit" file! There are some days that I feel like "Why do I even bother? Wouldn't it be easier to just go about my life and not worry so much about other people and their success?" It's notes and emails like this where I KNOW that I have made a difference and that is AMAZING. It makes me want to keep going, to share more, to help more and it makes me know I am on the 100% right path. I've said it before and I'll say it again… No one ever told me how fulfilling being a Beachbody Coach really is. Sure it's great to get paid for doing what I love, and we all have to pay the bills, but THIS, this lives on in Stephen's life and it will change his wife's life, his kids lives and the lives of their kids. I want him to play for years and years with his grand-babbies and spend another 40 years with his best friend and wife. And the thing is I have never even met him. He was simply "given" to me from Beachbody.
Then a few minutes later I was able to help another challenger join my team as a Beachbody Coach! She is ready to pay it forward and help others get in great shape! I was so pumped up with all this GREAT news I HAD to burn some energy and pressed play with Les Mills Pump. I did the 55 minute Pump Revolution and loved it! I am thoroughly enjoying these workouts. They go by fast, are fun and I love the music! Oh, I think I have a new girl crush as well!
I got back on my bike today, not quite up for sunrise but it still felt great to start my day that way. A beautiful fruit bowl, 1/2 papaya, 1 kiwi, couple slices of watermelon, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 cup strawberries and a few cherries. YUM.
Had a really random thing happen out and about, such a cool small world story actually! We went to one of our favorite swimming holes, Wailua Falls and we always start chatting with people down there. I met this nice lady named Lisa (she noticed my P90X had and told me she had it but wasn't following the meal plan…tsk, tsk, tsk!) As we were chatting she learned that I used to work at Cirque du Soleil and she told me she had a friend who used to work there. Turns out I know here friend as well. It always amazes me that I can sit under a waterfall in Hawaii, talking to a lady from Tennessee who runs a ballet studio and trained my friend and former co-worker that I knew in Vegas! Be nice to people, they are probably just friends you haven't met yet
After our waterfall chill out time we had lunch on the beach. The salad was really good – such a simple dressing of lime juice, honey and oil. I didn't eat all the jicama, I'm not sure it was 100% fresh. I ended up eating a bit of leftover edamame and corn succotash when I got home since I missed out on the calories from the jicama. I'll totally make that simple dressing again though. Who needs bottles when it's so easy to make your own!
My snack was Vegan Shakeology which kept me full before dinner, good thing too since my baked potato took closer to an hour too cook! Dinner really isn't the time that I get hungry, it's mostly after breakfast and before my afternoon snack. Maybe there is something to that alkalinez supplement that keeps me going, I totally notice an energy boost from it. I know it isn't keeping me "full" and it is only 8 calories, but it sure does help.
Dinner was good, and yes, this is a purple sweet potato. They are local here in Hawaii. It was a giant potato so I figured I should just have half. Garlic veggies were good and I didn't feel I needed the quinoa so left that out. There is an optional grain for dinners this week.
Wow! This has gotten to be such a LONG post!
Prep for tomorrow -
Breakfast – fruit is easy
Lunch – I'm going for the Asian Salad since it was on the menu today. I'll prep that to have it ready to grab and go.
Dinner – Looks like it is cauliflower and kale so no prep needed for that one.
Make it a great day!
Ultimate Reset Day 14 of 21 – Case of the blahs
Jun 3rd
Blah, blah, blah… Totally how I feel today. I didn't want to get out of bed, I don't want to do anything right now, I'm just ready for a new day. I think I am a bit bored as well, I'd just love to eat, or cook a new recipe, or bake cookies, or make pancakes, or try a new restaurant.
Sorry to start off on such a downer note, just not feeling "it" today.
I looked through some of the facebook support groups and it seems normal at about this time people are just ready for it to be over. Happy tomorrow starts week three. All downhill from here
This morning I actually stayed in bed till 7:30 which was really nice since. I probably needed a bit of a sleep. For the last two weeks I have been up between 5:30-6 everyday.
Super happy to have my fruit back for breakfast but opted for a lot of frozen fruit. Frozen blueberries just aren't the same as fresh.
The rest of the day was so up in the air. We were supposed to go to a friends house for dinner and I had no idea how long we were going to be away from the house so I literally packed EVERYTHING in my bag to be prepared. Here is my lunch, snack (Shakeology) and dinner just in case. No excuses, right? We ended up not going out at all so I stayed on plan and went with the kale instead of a zucchini. See below
Lunch was really good, you know, the normal salad and the soup made from leftover pumpkin and coconut milk. (I added some leftover vegetable broth as well) We weren't somewhere I could heat it up so had it chilled. Not bad. You'd think after all these salads that would be what I am bored with but not at all. I LOVE salads and will stick to lots of green salads after this is done.
I actually really liked the dinner tonight. It was a great mix of edamame, corn, peppers, shallot and onion served with a bunch of steamed kale with olive oil and lemon. I ended up mixing it all together and it was really tasty. I'm always so surprised at how filling the dinners are. I rarely crave more food or sweets after eating the dinners. Tonight was a different story!
I did end up going off plan a bit tonight and messed up. After dinner I swung by the grocery store to pick up some fresh fruit for tomorrow's breakfast and couldn't didn't resist the blueberries and a big juicy strawberry.
I gotta say again how much I hate the scale. Seriously. So I get up and weigh my self out of curiosity – down to 128. Middle of the day I'm at 133.5 (of course I had had food and water). No wonder women go crazy. Throw out your scale! It's dumb!! I know I didn't "gain" 5 pounds in a matter of hours – it's the food in my system.
Emotionally it was a tough day but overall it wasn't bad. Mama said there'll be days like this…
Oh, for prep going into day 15… I ended up planning on switching the Asian Salad for Day 20s jicama and avocado salad, I was a bit nervous my jicama would go bad and wanted to try the salad. I am not prepping anything for dinner as it'll all cook up pretty fast and I'll need to be in the kitchen anyway.
Ultimate Reset Day 13 of 21- is it over yet?
Jun 2nd
I think this is the hardest part so far for me. After a not great day yesterday, feeling a bit like a stick in the mud with not being able to go out to eat normally or enjoy a glass of wine. I'm ready for it to be over and just be a bit more "normal". Now don't get me wrong, I'm in no way thinking of quitting! The last two days I haven't done my sunrise bike ride either which has thrown me off a bit. I really need that time in the morning to set the tone for the day.
As I mentioned before, I just couldn't do miso soup for breakfast but instead of subbing with fruit I did two days in a row of the chick peas, avocado and spinach. Can't WAIT for my fruit plate tomorrow! SO excited!!
Lunch was a lovely salad with roasted beets enjoyed on the beach.
And dinner… I was REALLY looking forward to the squash as I LOVE pumpkin and we eat a fair amount of pumpkin soup in New Zealand. I don't tend to cook it myself and was hoping this would be an amazing recipe that I could add to my list of meals. It just didn't turn out as good as the picture in the book was. I really am not a fan of tahini and my pumpkin turned out a bit dry.
The only prep I did so far was shelled my edemame (I bought the frozen edemame in pods from Costco). Oh, I also baked all the pumpkin and will make the soup tonight instead of tomorrow so it is ready to do.
I also weighed myself today. I have been weighing in from time to time. I really don't like scales. At all. I like my pants. If they are falling off I'm losing weight, if they are tight I need to ease up on the cookies. But for this reset I was curious. Because I didn't think I had weight to lose. I don't want to be "skinny". When I started P90X 3 years ago I weighed 142. I went down to 134 when I finished and have gone between 134-139 the last few years. I'm currently at 130. I'm don't really want to see it go lower. It just doesn't feel right. I'm 5'7″. I don't notice a huge difference in the way I LOOK and my clothes don't feel too different, maybe a bit loser… ***Warning!! poo alert!!**** It kind of makes me think that there was some gunk in my system that needed to come out! And speaking of which, things are moving, regularly. I am NOT spending all day in the bathroom. My insides are definitely getting a spring clean
Ultimate Reset Day 12 of 21 – Woops, a few slip ups today!
May 31st
Oooh… definitely not my perfect day today! I didn't prep anything last night and then decided to take a yoga class at 7am which ended up being a 90 minute class followed by some chit chat, a bike ride home, taking my supplements and finally eating breakfast at 10am. I haven't had breakfast that late in who knows how long!
Breakfast was… interesting. It really wasn't worth photographing… Kind of looked like baby food. I had to switch some meals around so had the mashed chickpeas, 1/4 avocado and steamed spinach. I really enjoy ALL of these foods, I actually LOVE chick peas and eat them from the can sometimes… But for breakfast… it just doesn't fit, I want my fruit back!
Chris and I had some errands to run and lunch was supposed to be salad and miso (ugg – so over miso – although last night was much better with the veggies). I only packed the salad to take with me, by the way, the garlic dressing is AWESOME! I ended up only having salad and then going to Costco and buying some more fruit and veg and confession – chowed down on some blueberries I bought. Like 1/2 a container! Fail #1
I was still hungry when I got home and made a cup of green peas, figured since I skipped the soup so needed something. Now my timing is all off for my Alkaline shake and afternoon snack. I ended up actually adding my alkaline to my Shakeology and looking forward to eating what is on the menu for dinner. Fail #2
Then dinner rolls around. I start cooking my beets (LOVE beets btw!) and kale (instead of collard greens) and make Chris some fish and salad. As I sit down to eat I realize I completely forgot to take my pre dinner supplements. What is up with me??? It comes in three's huh? I will take the supplements 2 hours after dinner instead of before. Fail #3
I can't stress about this. I fell off a tiny bit. I didn't eat something that I am totally not supposed to (maybe the fruit a bit) but really? I honestly don't think ONE day like this is going to "mess it all up". I could have the attitude of "Well there goes that whole day" but that's not true – it was 3 slip ups. Gotta get dinner right and make sure tomorrow is right on track! Only 9 more days to go. No biggie! So don't sweat the little stuff – stay as close to on track as possible, you'll do just fine! I guess not prepping my food the day before really threw me for a loop. Lesson learned!

EUR/USD Strong Resistance 1.3112 – For December 04, 2012 (Daily Strategy)
The EUR/USD now faces the second weekly 1.3111 resistance. It is a key level and above this level of 1.3150 there is much resistance and it is very difficult to exceed this level in the short term. The euro will likely oscillate between the levels of 1.3150 to 1.2700, a very strong support. Therefore, given that the euro is near the level that we mentioned, you can make the decision to sell at the current price level and expect the pair to reach 1.3111 key level and if this level retreats below, you can sell with objectives to 1.2964, weekly pivot level.

Composition is perhaps one of the photographers mightiest tools. How you choose to frame any given subject matter will, in the viewers eye, have a drastic impact. This article focuses on leading lines, but as a primer I suggest looking over the Focus on Composition: The S Curve and 25 Great Shots That Use Roads and Paths to Enhance the Composition.
Like the rule of thirds which is most commonly applied to landscape photographs that include the skyline meeting earth, leading lines allow you to pull the viewer further into an image, move their view to the left, right, top or bottom and even make the viewer feel as if they can see through the image. They are an integral part of nearly every photograph, whether you are aware they are there or not. Leading lines create the focal point, however they are not always the point of focus.
Walking up to this beautiful location, the photographer was faced with two points of interest, the gate and the church itself. Rather then segregate one over the other, he utilized leading lines, via the rule of thirds, to utilize both, so they would be equally important. The stone wall that appears in the lower left pushes the eye to the middle right of the frame, where the gate and sun are, but also apparent in the middle left center portion is the church. When you allow your eye to follow from left to right along the wall to the gate, then right to left again to view the church it becomes apparent the depth this photograph has, beyond the stunning colors and tones.
This photograph is titled, Sunrise on the Boardwalk and it's just that, but done so in a way that makes the viewer want to run to the end of the boardwalk and see the sand and ocean. Shooting with a wide lens and allowing the railings to start in the lower left and right sections of the frame, it's impossible to not start viewing there then gradually look deeper out into the sea and notice the sunrise. The photographer has effectively told you how and where to look without any words at all.
The most common forms of leading lines include:
- Vertical lines
- Horizontal lines
- Diagonal lines
- S-Curves
- Converging lines
In virtually ever single photograph you take it's possible to identify at least one of these lines, and usually possible to utilize that as a leading line into your photography. Mastering the concept of using leading lines will add more depth to your photography, helping to not only tell your story but also entertain the viewer more.

NRA's Wayne LaPierre singles out violent Chicago and calls for 1,000 federal agents to patrol its streets

National Rifle Association's Wayne la Pierre |
On Fox News Sunday, National Rifle Association's Wayne LaPierre came out with both barrels blasting, singling out the gun violence in Chicago.
Chicago, a city with one of the nation's strictest gun control laws, is also one of the nation's most violent, leading it in death by gunfire.
LaPierre took on the violence in Chicago and noted that if federal gun laws already on the books were enforced, instead of putting even more restrictions on gun legal ownership, it could help solve the city's violence problems.
"We are all obsessed with the Taliban and we ought to be. What about the gangs?" "They are ruining neighborhoods all over the country? We need a federal task force, if it takes 500 agents; if it takes a thousand agents, go into Chicago."
"Every gang member on the street of Chicago, starting tomorrow morning, let's pick 'em up, we've got a federal law to get them off the street and put them in prison, and that would cut crime and we're not doing it."
There seems to be a lack of will to enforce existing gun laws. New York for example, has a mandatory law requiring prison time for anyone found with an illegal gun in his possession…Yet the law is full of loopholes and less than half of those arrested for illegal gun possession face any prison time.
There are over nine thousand gun laws on the books already. Perhaps it's time for existing gun laws to be enforced, before any new laws are proposed.
Several years ago a city in the San Francisco bay area was suffering from a massive wave of violence. East Palo Alto was becoming a shooting gallery; so violent it was dangerous for the thousands of motorist who used its main artery daily to travel to other parts of the bay. Shootings, rapes, armed robbery, arson, carjacking and open drug dealing were the norm. The local police department was not up to the task to protect its citizens and put a halt to the crime.
To combat this unprecedented crime wave, communities in the San Francisco bay area & the state of California pitched in with extra police forces to swarm the city. They soon had rounded up gang leaders and the violent individuals who were creating much of the crime. They had a task force that instantly responded to crime and aggressively hunted down the criminals. Existing laws were enforced and soon the streets of this city were relatively safe. The criminal element had been broken.
LaPierre's suggestion for federal intervention in Chicago is a good one. Bring in federal police forces to help patrol the violent streets. Make it a national priority to protect the law abiding citizens of Chicago. When the criminals are taken off the streets, the percentage of gun violence will be drastically reduced.
This same formula should be used to target other crime and violence plagued cities. Disarm and jail the criminals who use guns, enforce the existing gun laws.

Rats: Maybe I'm missing something, but I fail to see how disarming the NRA and depriving them of their 2nd Amendment rights would decrease gun violence in Chicago.The average NRA member is a loyal, law-abiding, tax-paying citizen who probably has honorably served in the nation's defense forces. And his supporters in Congress have sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution, including the 2nd Amendmnent.

Its such an Irony or a Political conspiracy not to enforce already made gun laws.Then call for total and stricter laws on those not tested.
Id have a suspicion that present laws werent enforced and kept quiet for undemocratic reasons

I don't believe morals are "old-fashioned" either
Posted by Tamee on May 25, 1998 at 18:56:51:
In response to Fanny isn't "old-fashioned" because..., written by Lea on May 22, 1998 at 21:35:39] While some would consider her moral values, "old-fashioned", I don't. Abiding by moral principals (based on God's Word) is never "old-fashioned" because God's laws apply to every "new" generation. They don't go "out of style".
When I referred to Fanny as not being a modern character, I meant that in comparison with today's heroines, who, for the most part, are aggressively independent and vociferous when they object to someone or something, Fanny is very mild and forbearing and thinks too little of her own desserts. And as to the principles that we might not agree with, I should have used the word proprieties rather than principles, since a principle by its nature should be unchanging. I was thinking about her reaction to the play, which initially seemed to be a bit much, but which was shown to be justified. I am myself "old-fashioned"; I believe firmly that there are eternal principles and hold to values that I know many think are "quaint" and meaningless. I think this is one of the reasons I love JA's works so much. Hers is a world of order where some people may hem and haw around morals, but they don't deny they exist.

My Profile
Above & Beyond
One of the most successful trance acts of the 2000s, Above & Beyond are a British trio known for their production and remix work, as well as their DJ performances and record label. Founded in 2000 in London, England, the trio is comprised of Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamäki. Prior to founding Above & Beyond, Grant and Siljamäki met at the University of Westminster and founded the Anjunabeats label. Shortly afterward, they met McGuinness, teamed up as Above & Beyond, and did a remix for Chakra's "Home." One remix led to another, culminating in 2001 with an attention-getting remix of Madonna's "What It Feels Like for a Girl." Other early Above & Beyond remixes of note include Aurora's "Ordinary World," Fragma's "Everytime You Need Me," and Perpetuous Dreamer's "The Sound of Goodbye." As a DJ act, Above & Beyond made their debut in 2002 and steadily worked their way up into the Top Ten of the much-touted DJ Mag Top 100 poll. From a production standpoint, Above & Beyond made their debut in 2002 with the single "Far from in Love," a vocal trance anthem featuring Kate Cameron. Around this same time, Grant, McGuinness, and Siljamäki formed the group OceanLab with vocalist Justine Suissa. They made their production debut as OceanLab in 2001 with "Clear Blue Water" and continued releasing new material as such throughout the decade, most notably the smash hit "Satellite" in 2004 and the full-length album debut Sirens of the Sea in 2008. Other alternate monikers employed by Above & Beyond over the years include Anjunabeats, Tranquility Base, Dirt Devils, Free State, Rollerball, Tongue of God, and Zed-X. As Above & Beyond, they made their full-length album debut with Tri-State in 2006 and released a steady stream of singles on the Anjunabeats label. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

used to Love Above and Beyond, however not been so impressed with there later works since 2010. They have gone a bit fluffy live to, but this year they have been rocking it again, a long awiated return to awesome. However they can't hold a light to AVB (Armin Van Buuren)
Im 100% metal head but Above and Beyond are a drug in terms of music level. Best DJ's IMO
why does every psy/goa trance station I attempt to make wind up turning itself into an epic/cheese trance station...

After spending a couple of days with my first time home buyers recently they wanted to know what an escrow was. I had been rambling on and on about the offer and acceptance process and explaining what happens once a seller accepts the offer from the buyer, I just assumed they knew all the terms I was throwing at them. Because I am certain many who wonder about the escrow process in home purchasing, I thought I would explain it right here.
What is an Escrow? As it relates to real estate:
An escrow is the arrangement of a third party, in real estate the third party is the Title Company, who receives money and documents, a contract, for two or more parties in a transaction, the home buyer and the home seller.
The buyers and sellers of a particular property establish terms and conditions for the transfer of ownership of the property.
Property usually means land or a home, condo, apartment complex, etc. Once the terms and conditions are established, usually with a singed contract, they are given to a third party known as the escrow holder.
It is then the responsibility of the escrow holder to make sure all the terms and conditions are carried out. Terms are things like the selling price, important dates and deadlines that need to be met.
The escrow is an independent account and is the way in which the instructions of all parties, the buyers and the sellers in the transaction, are handled and completed.
How does the escrow process work?
Your Nevada real estate agent will start the escrow process as soon as the purchase agreement is signed by both buyers and sellers. Your agent will place your earnest money deposit into an escrow account with the closing title company. This will start the process and an escrow account will be opened.
The escrow account is a "trust account" that handles all the money involved with the transfer of property process. The escrow officer makes sure all property taxes are paid, all insurance premiums are paid, and that all sewer and trash bills are paid prior to closing.
During the escrow process, the escrow officer receives the home buyers earnest money deposit, checks to be sure there are no judgments or liens against the home seller and the property, forwards the deed to the title recording company and determines where the balance of funds it to be delivered.
The escrow holder acts for both the home buyer and home seller and protects the interests of each party,as per escrow instructions that are set forth in the written real estate contract. The home buyers lender instructions are taken into consideration during this time period. If there is a third party involved with selling the property, their requirements are handled with the escrow officer as well.
Once all terms and conditions are met and completed the escrow company provides a closing statement to all parties involved and the transaction is completed.
Who Chooses the Escrow Company?
Whether you are a buyer, seller, lender or borrower, you want the assurance that no funds will change hands or be mishandled until all of the instructions in the transaction have been followed.
You want to be make sure all requirements are met and that there are no outstanding balances of any kind left unpaid that could holp up the closing process.
You should be secure and conifendent that the escrow officer will complete all tasks prior to your closing date.
Choosing an experienced escrow officer is crucial in completing the home buying and home selling process. Your real estate agent can recommend an escrow holder for you if you do not know of one. Many real estate agents have escrow officers they trust and use more than others, but it is entirely up to the home seller or home buyer which one to trust and use for their home buying transaction.
I hope this blog helps to answer the questions about escrow and how it works. If there are any other questions about the Reno Real Estate Market, the home buying process, Reno Nevada neighborhood information, please don't hesitate to contact me. If you need a recommendation for a local escrow officer, loan officer or real estate agent, I would be happy to provide with you names and numbers.

I learned a lot from my time spent there, just emphasising what I have learnt, that Car Clubs play an important part of the local community and how beneficial they are to so many, in some cases being the life line between having access to places and services that would otherwise be outwith their reach or grasp.

More Money than God
This is a guest post from an anonymous friend. Actually is was a letter to me that I thought was hilarious and got permission to post.
Dear Cathy,
Earlier I mentioned that I was reading "More Money than God", which might have been construed as an endorsement, so, in case you haven't read it already, I thought I would save you some time by summarizing it:
Chapter {2,\ldots,(N-2)}: All the hedge fund dudes you have heard of are* sages both of human nature and of economics. When they destroy foreign currencies, it's to correct bad governments. When they attempt to short foreign currencies but fail, it's because they (Soros) care deeply about these developing countries and are using their money to help support them. They are huge philanthropists. They increase economic stability by being contrarian. The only time they are outsmarted is when they are outsmarted by other hedge fund titans.
Chapter N: Don't regulate hedge funds. Regulating hedge funds would be bad for the economy and for philanthropy. There's no need for hedge funds to be regulated. Regulate the banks or something else but for God's sake not hedge funds. Also: no regulation!
Acknowledgments: thanks to Rubin and all my other buddies at CFR, and at Blackstone, and to Paul Tudor Jones, and all the other hedge fundies who supported me while I wrote this book for 3 years.
* They are now, but in the 60s when hedge funds started the whole "hedging" and "long-short" thing was just a distraction from organized insider trading over corned-beef sandwiches. But no one ever insider trades anymore. Except for Raj, who's clearly not a real hedge fund guy. Who eats SIM cards? We're not those kind of thugs.

Written by a mathematician, I guess (mostly because s/he uses TeX in a way that math person would use it).
That would be funny because mathematicians also think they are the smartest people on the planet…
I'm not saying either group is wrong; I'm a former mathematician who works in a HF…

Special Topic :Theatre Royal Bath
Written by JulieW
(5/9/2004 3:04 a.m.)
Jane Austen lived in Bath from 1801-1806,after the death of her father necessitated them leaving for Southampton. We know very little of her time in Bath-a she and Cassandra were together most of that period and so letters did not pass between them ;-) However she does mention the Theatre Royal, Bath in Northanger Abbey and in persuasion, and was such a fan of the theatre I find it hard to believe she did not take the opportunity to visit the theatre as much as she could. The theatre in Bath was probably the most important theatre in England outside London. As Bath was a very fashionable centre for the marriage market and for people taking the 2cure" there was a ready audience waiting to watch the biggest star perform the latest plays. The Theatre Royal in Orchard Street was run in tandem with the theatre in Bristol. It did not follow the London seasons. It played all year round. It was used as a starting ground for many of the great actors of the period, letting them "cut their teeth " on a sophisticated audience before taking to the London stage. In Retrospectives of the Stage John Bernard a member of the company of actors at Bath wrote that the Bath theatre; "...boasted the best company out of London-Henderson, Dibdin, Dimond, Diddear, Blisset etc .The Bath Audience had long maintained the character of being the most elegant and judicious in the kingdom; and the "school" which gradually formed under their influence and the exertions of Mr Palmer obtained the pre- eminence in the eyes of the Dramatic Tyro and the London critic. It is well know that, for many years, the very name of Bath was a guarantee for a mans good taste in his profession; whilst on the score of genius, it is acknowledged to have contributed more largely to the metropolitan boards than Dublin and York put together, So there. The construction of the theatre in Orchard Street was begun in 1747, and opened for business in October 1750. Eventually stable management for the theatre was established under the control of John Arthur a low comedian and pantomime clown. He began the process of building up the company and securing a good reputation. A Royal Patent was granted in 1768- as, since 1737, it was technically operating outside the rule of law. This was the first theatre to gain a patent outside London, which indicates its importance. The arrangement with the Bristol theatre in Kings Street was to the advantage of both. They were only 13 miles apart and so it was easy to work out a modus operandi, which benefited both theatres and actors. A working pattern soon became established and from 1799 till 1817 during September and October of any year the company played three nights in Bristol and Saturdays in Bath, with the exception of Race Week in Bath and Christmas and Easter when a full week was played there.
The company was transported between the two towns by coaches or "caterpillars " as they were termed. John Palmer the theatre manager of both theatres had constructed three special long coaches, which carried 12 actors and their luggage between the theatres. A pleasant journey in summer but probably due to the size of the coach and the state of the roads, a dangerous one in winter. Because of the stability that being in this company gave, places in the Bath company were very desirable and considered a considerable professional achievement. Here is a list of some of the migrations that took place from Bath to London; Dodd, Henderson, Mrs Siddons, Miss Kemble, Mrs Goodall to the Dury lane Company
A lot of actors choose to stay with the Bath company...and frankly who could blame them. It was a less precarious life than the season in London. The theatre at Bath was quite small compared to the massive London theatres. The picture above shows the theatre as it was in 1775,and despite small alterations this is how lit looked till 1805 when it was rebuilt. And this is how it would have looked in the main when Henry Tilney was ignoring Catherine Morland; To the theatre accordingly they all went; no Tilneys appeared to plague or please her; she feared that, amongst the many perfections of the family, a fondness for plays was not to be ranked; but perhaps it was because they were habituated to the finer performances of the London stage, which she knew, on Isabella's authority, rendered everything else of the kind "quite horrid." She was not deceived in her own expectation of pleasure; the comedy so well suspended her care that no one, observing her during the first four acts, would have supposed she had any wretchedness about her. On the beginning of the fifth, however, the sudden view of Mr. Henry Tilney and his father, joining a party in the opposite box, recalled her to anxiety and distress. The stage could no longer excite genuine merriment — no longer keep her whole attention. Every other look upon an average was directed towards the opposite box; and, for the space of two entire scenes, did she thus watch Henry Tilney, without being once able to catch his eye. No longer could he be suspected of indifference for a play; his notice was never withdrawn from the stage during two whole scenes. At length, however, he did look towards her, and he bowed — but such a bow! No smile, no continued observance attended it; his eyes were immediately returned to their former direction. Catherine was restlessly miserable; she could almost have run round to the box in which he sat and forced him to hear her explanation. Feelings rather natural than heroic possessed her; instead of considering her own dignity injured by this ready condemnation — instead of proudly resolving, in conscious innocence, to show her resentment towards him who could harbour a doubt of it, to leave to him all the trouble of seeking an explanation, and to enlighten him on the past only by avoiding his sight, or flirting with somebody else — she took to herself all the shame of misconduct, or at least of its appearance, and was only eager for an opportunity of explaining its cause.
It has been calculated they were a mere 33 feet apart! LOL This was also the theatre mentioned in Persuasion; "Well, mother, I have done something for you that you will like. I have been to the theatre, and secured a box for to-morrow night. A'n't I a good boy? I know you love a play; and there is room for us all. It holds nine. I have engaged Captain Wentworth. Anne will not be sorry to join us, I am sure. We all like a play. Have not I done well, mother?" Charles Musgrove in Persuasion, Chapter 22. A final point. It may interest you to note that from 1801-1806 Lover's Vows by Kozebue but adapted by Mrs Inchbald (of whom more later) was performed 17 times in Bath…which coincided with JA's residence in that city.

From wireless pioneer, memories of a milestone cell phone call
Standing on the corner of New York's 56th and Lexington 35 years ago Thursday, Marty Cooper was nearly run over. And no wonder. Drivers were hardly used to seeing people gabbing on the telephone while walking down the street. Not to mention that the phone was impossible to miss.
"It was huge. It weighed 2-1/2 pounds. It was about 10 inches high by an inch and a half wide by perhaps 3 inches deep," Cooper recalled. "The battery lasted only 20 minutes, but that was no problem because you couldn't hold it up for … Read more

The New Canaan YMCA Aquianas Synchronized Swimming Junior team members travelled to Pennsberg, PA to compete at the 2013 East Zone Junior Championship on the weekend of Feb. 8–10.
A total of 140 athletes, representing 19 teams throughout northeastern U.S., competed at this prestigious event. New Canaan, represented by only eight individuals comprising only five small routines, earned second in the high point standings, and three were named to the East Zone Junior All Star Team.
"It was amazing to place second with only eight swimmers competing," assistant coach Thea Bardin said. "With so few swimmers, we needed each one to make a huge contribution, and each and every girl came through and scored a significant number of points for the team. I'm incredibly proud of these girls!"
The trio routine from Lauren Laporta, Jessica Moss and Darien's Katie Greco earned fifth with a score of 124.2127. In the duet event, Darien's Ophelie Tousignant and Diya Banerjee won silver with a score of 130.3960.
In solo, Eliza Sturgeon won silver with a score of 133.2910, Alex Poteet earned bronze with a score of 130.9870 and Katie Farrell earned fourth with a score of 130.9270.
In the figures event, Sturgeon, Poteet and Farrell placed third, seventh and eighth respectively and all were named to the 2013 Junior East Zone All Star Team.
The New Canaan YMCA Aquianas are currently training for the East Zone Senior Championship to be held March 8-10 in Binghamton, NY. For more information about synchronized swimming at the New Canaan YMCA, contact head coach Jen Muzyk at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Stockbroker Steve Schillinger had worked at San Francisco's Pacific Exchange for more than two decades when officials there discovered that he was taking illegal sports bets from other brokers and fired him. The year was 1996.
Needing a new job and intrigued by the explosive growth of the Internet, Schillinger moved to Antigua to help set up and run the world's first online sports-betting service, called World Sports Exchange. Because the service was accepting online wagers from U.S. residents, the Justice Department deemed it illegal.
In 1998, the FBI charged Schillinger with unlawful Internet gambling and issued a felony warrant for his arrest. Until last month, he had been wanted by the FBI for 15 years.
But Schillinger's recent death appears to have ended the saga, although several circumstances leave open the possibility of foul play.
The 60-year-old was found with a single gunshot wound to the head in a condominium he owned in the Antiguan capital of St. John's on April 20, according to Antigua police. Neighbors who had come by Schillinger's home told police they saw a door open, went inside, discovered the body and contacted authorities.
Back in 1998, Schillinger declined to return to the U.S. to turn himself in, electing instead to remain a fugitive in Antigua and continue helping run the online betting service.
About a month ago, however, World Sports Exchange suddenly and unexpectedly went out of business, stiffing hundreds of customers worldwide out of thousands of dollars that they had in their online wagering accounts. Company employees also were not given their final paychecks.
Two weeks later, Schillinger was found dead under violent circumstances.
Antiguan media outlets have reported that a .38-caliber handgun was found near the body and that the death was likely a suicide, but Antigua police said the incident is still under investigation and that foul play has not been ruled out.
"The investigation is continuing," Antigua Police Senior Sgt. William Holder told The San Francisco Examiner. "No determination has been made yet about what happened, other than the cause of death was a single gunshot to the head.
"It has not been determined whether it was a suicide or a murder or something else. We are still interviewing people who knew him and looking into all aspects of his life."
Holder confirmed that a handgun and a suicide note were found at Schillinger's condo, but stressed that the killing still has to be investigated because of the possibility that it was a murder staged to appear as suicide.
"It's a homicide and all homicides are investigated," Holder said.
"Nothing has been ruled out."
One of the things police are looking into is whether Schillinger owned the gun, and if so, how he came to acquire it, Holder said. Antigua residents are permitted to own handguns, but only if they pass a criminal background check and obtain a proper license, Holder said.
Because of the FBI charges pending against Schillinger, he would not have been able to legally acquire a license to own a gun in Antigua, Holder said.
"We are in the process of tracing the gun's serial number to determine where it came from, how he may have obtained it and from who," Holder said.
The entire homicide investigation should be completed in about a week, Holder said, adding that U.S. officials, through regular diplomatic channels, have been notified about the case.
Meanwhile, an expert on Internet gambling who has covered Schillinger's career for an online gambling news site told The San Francisco Examiner that Schillinger likely became suicidal after World Sports Exchange shut down.
"A lot of people are out a lot of money because of World Sports Exchange going belly up," said Chris Costigan, owner, publisher and editor of Gambling911.com, a U.S.-based website. "So a lot of people would have motive to kill Schillinger, though I don't believe that's what happened. But that's why the cops have to examine every angle."
"I think he was distraught about his company going bust and that's why he took his own life," Costigan added. "With the company gone, he felt he had nothing left to live for."

Date of Defense 2007-06-04 Availability unrestricted Abstract This dissertation presents research done on utilizing the ferromagnetic semiconductor europium sulfide (EuS) to inject spin polarized electrons into the non-magnetic semiconductor indium arsenide (InAs). There is great interest in expanding the functionality of modern day electronic circuits by creating devices that depend not only on the flow of charge in the device, but also on the transport of spin through the device. Within this mindset, there is a concerted effort to establish an efficient means of injecting and detecting spin polarized electrons in a two dimensional electron system (2DES) as the first step in developing a spin based field effect transistor. Thus, the research presented in this thesis has focused on the feasibility of using EuS, in direct electrical contact with InAs, as a spin injecting electrode into an InAs 2DES.Doped EuS is a concentrated ferromagnetic semiconductor, whose conduction band undergoes a giant Zeeman splitting when the material becomes ferromagnetic. The concomitant difference in energy between the spin-up and spin-down energy bands makes the itinerant electrons in EuS highly spin polarized. Thus, in principle, EuS is a good candidate to be used as an injector of spin polarized electrons into non-magnetic materials. In addition, the ability to adjust the conductivity of EuS by varying the doping level in the material makes EuS particularly suited for injecting spins into non-magnetic semiconductors and 2DES.
For this research, thin films of EuS have been grown via e-beam evaporation of EuS powder. This growth technique produces EuS films that are sulfur deficient; these sulfur vacancies act as intrinsic electron donors and the resulting EuS films behave like heavily doped ferromagnetic semiconductors. The growth parameters and deposition procedures were varied and optimized in order to fabricate films that have minimal crystalline defects. Various properties and characteristics of these EuS films were measured and compared to those characteristics found in previous reported work on doped EuS crystals. In particular, the magnetic switching behavior of individual micro-fabricated EuS structures was investigated to determine what types of spintronic devices EuS is best suited for. These studies found that the crystalline anisotropy of EuS dominates the switching behavior in EuS thin film structures with minimum feature sizes greater than ~ 5 ěm. This, in conjunction with the relatively high resistance of junctions between EuS and semiconductors, restricts the use of two tandem EuS electrodes in all semiconductor spintronic devices that require independently switching ferromagnetic electrodes.
Spin transport studies in InAs 2DES are particularly interesting because of the heterostructure's high electron mobility and tunable spin-orbit interactions.Detailed measurements of the electrical transport characteristics across the heterojunction formed between EuS and InAs were taken in order to investigate the spin transport characteristics across the junction. These measurements show that the electrical transport across the heterojunction, below the ferromagnetic transition temperature, is directly related to the magnetization of the EuS layer and thus the transport is dominated by the spin-dependent Schottky barrier formed in EuS. Using a simple theory developed for these junctions, the magnitude of the change in barrier height – half the Zeeman splitting of the conduction band in EuS – was found to be ~0.22 eV.
The electrical transport measurements of the heterojunction between EuS and InAs at temperatures well above the ferromagnetic transition temperature of EuS shows that there are at least two separate scattering mechanisms in these junctions. As expected, critical scattering is the dominate scattering mechanism in the strongly paramagnetic regime; however, unexpectedly, the data show that critical scattering is not the dominate mechanism at temperatures greater than ~ 100 K. The high temperature electrical transport measurements of the EuS / InAs heterojunction, in conjunction with low temperature zero-bias conductance measurements on junctions between EuS and gold (Au), suggest that there exists an interfacial layer in series with the magnetic Schottky barrier in these EuS junctions. This interfacial layer is modeled and
explained as resulting from a rather high concentration of defects at the interface between EuS and the counter electrode.

For gas day July 21, 2001, Pacific Gas & Electric Company's California Gas Transmission called a System-Wide OFO even though the requirements for a Customer-Specific OFO were met.
Recent operating experience and the current market conditions led CGT to call the System-Wide OFO. The recent high inventory Customer-Specific OFOs have not resulted in improved pipeline system conditions. Rather, we have seen non-targeted customers create significant imbalances.

My blog has been focusing primarily on women serving in the armed forces, a woman's place in the army, and the prevalence of rape in the U.S. military. I have been using current information and statistics, and I have been concentrating on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. In future posts I hope to incorporate and work with information that I gather about women fighting for other countries and nations. I have been exploring the topic of whether a woman who plays the role of warrior contradicts the role she plays as mother and wife, and how fighting influences the family sphere.
My blog has become, much due to reader interest and to my own, primarily about rape in the U.S. military. This seems to be a topic of which many people are quickly becoming aware, and one that needs to be publicized even more than it has in recent months. If the U.S. military wants to remain the best in the world, it must do everything it can to protect its personnel and to promote camaraderie among the troops. Like any other kind of rape, military rapes must be reported and discussed, and the victims and perpetrators must receive the proper treatment. I hope that my blog helps to further awareness and promotes activism about rape in the U.S. military.

In the Still of the Night (1956 song)
"In the Still of the Night" | |
Song by The Five Satins | |
Released | 1956 |
Recorded | Saint Bernadette Catholic School |
Genre | Soul, doo-wop |
Language | English |
Length | 3:02 |
Label | Standard Records |
Writer | Fred Parris |
Producer | Marty Kugell |
"In the Still of the Night" is a song written by Fred Parris and recorded by his Five Satins.
The song was recorded in the Saint Bernadette Catholic School basement in New Haven, Connecticut, in February, 1956. Marty Kugell produced the song. The saxophone solo was played by Vinny Mazzetta, of New Haven.The rhythm section was Doug Murray, bass, Bobby Mapp, drums and Curlee Glover, piano. It was originally released as a B-side (to "The Jones Girl", a play on the Mills Brothers' 1954 hit, "The Jones Boy") on Kugell's Standard Records label. Although the single was only a moderate hit (after it was reissued on the Ember label), peaking at #24 on the national pop charts and #3 on the R&B "race" charts (Billboard's chart designation for R&B during that time), its reputation came to surpass its original chart placement. For three decades, the single almost always topped the influential Top 500 Songs countdown on oldies radio station WCBS-FM. The track sold over 10 million copies in 1987 and 1988 as part of the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. It is ranked #90 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". (The song was included on the highly influential 1959 LP Oldies But Goodies on Original Sound.)
"In the Still of the Night" is the only song to have charted on the Billboard Hot 100 three separate times, by the same artist with the same version each time. After initially reaching #24 in 1956, it was released again in 1960 and reached #81. Then more than a year later in 1961 it reached #99.
"In the Still of the Night" is one of two songs that may lay claim to being the origin of the term doo-wop. The plaintive doo wop, doo wah refrain in the bridge has often been suggested as the origin of the term to describe that musical genre. (The other contender for the honor is "When You Dance" by The Turbans, in which the chant "doo-wop" can be heard.)
Cover versions[edit]
The original recording briefly hit the charts again in 1960 and 1961; an instrumental version by Santo & Johnny charted in 1964, and a version from the album Exitos De Paul Anka by Paul Anka did likewise in 1969. None of these releases reached the top half of the Billboard Hot 100, however.
The Crests recorded a cover version, titled "I Remember", for their 1960 album "The Crests Sing All Biggies" on Coed Records.
The Fleetwoods released a version of the song.
The Tokens released a version in 1961.
Deborah Gibson performed a cover version, transposed to C major, during her Atlantic-years concert tours and recorded the same for the Atlantic soundtrack album The Wonder Years - Music from the Emmy Award-Winning Show and its Era (LP 82032).
The song was spelled as "In the Still of the Nite" to avoid confusion with Cole Porter's "In the Still of the Night". The Five Satins rock and roll standard is at times also spelled in that manner. The song was also used in the Disney attraction The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management).
The song was covered by Jan & Dean as a single in 1968 and was planned to be released on their album Carnival of Sound that same year. Carnival of Sound was not released until 2010.
In 1972, Sha Na Na recorded a version faithful to the original on their album The Night Is Still Young, with Johnny Maestro lead singing.
"In the Still of the Night" was also covered by The Beach Boys on their 1976 album 15 Big Ones. Lead vocals were by drummer Dennis Wilson.

Aberdeen Angus Fillet Steak with Whisky Sauce
Although not an old or traditional dish, this combination of beef cooked with whisky reflects how Scottish cooks are developing new dishes making use of their finest and most proud products.
Serves: 2
50 Gram Butter (2 oz)
1/2 Onion, finely chopped
2 x 175 Gram Aberdeen Angus fillet steaks (6 oz)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 Shot Whisky
150 ml Stock (1/4 pint)
4 Tbsp Cream
Melt the butter in a frying pan and gently sauté the onion. When soft, increase the heat and add the steaks. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the steaks and how preferred. Remove to a hot dish and keep warm.
Skim off the excess fat from the frying pan and add the whisky. Stir the juices and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the stock and reduce to a thick syrup. Add the cream and heat through gently. Adjust the seasoning and pour over the steaks. Serve immediately.
