Two adrenaline-pumping activities collide in this outrageously fun Tank Paintballing experience. You'll form part of a crew to tackle a challenging course set on a former WWII bombing range for a paintball battle like never before.
Begin by practising using the controls of a 17tonne armoured personnel carrier and familiarising yourself with the weapons. You'll take it in turns to drive and fire specially-modified cannons loaded with 40mm paint rounds. Then it's time to choose your position, whether it's driver, gunner or commander, as you engage in a timed tank battle against your opponent. This is your chance to get a taste of life on the battlefield – not with live ammunition of course, but with paint and plenty of fun.
On arrival at the centre, you'll be greeted by staff and given a full briefing including safety procedures and driving techniques. Then it's time to take it in turns to practice the controls as you learn how to drive a 17 tonne FV432 armoured personnel carrier.
You'll experience what it is like to handle the tank's specially modified cannons, capable of firing 40mm paint rounds before choosing your position and commencing battle against your opponent. With the hatches closed, you'll work as a team to spot the enemy through your periscope and fire at will. This truly is the paintballing adventure of a lifetime, perfect for thrill-seekers everywhere.

Hook Ups Articles
Articles and photos related to celebrity hook-ups and new couples.
Rihanna & Drake: My Happiness
If you've been reading my blog long enough, you know this has been near the top of my Gossip Genie wish list. Maybe even at the very, very top. For a while there it was looking unlikely. But lately… Oh lately… They tease. I hope they're not teasing. Because this is my happiness. Full Story
Rihanna & Drake in Paris
Marc Piasecki/ Getty
Drake's been on tour in Paris. And…Rihanna also happens to be in Paris. Ohhhhh realllllly? There was a dinner the other night. Last night they were both at Club 79 – where Robin Thicke was groping strange women not too long ago – and some are saying they were on it. I just got an email telling me that they were hooking up all night. Full Story
Miley Cyrus & Jared Leto
Larry Busacca/ Kevin Mazur/ Getty
US Weekly reports exclusively this morning that Miley Cyrus and Jared Leto are "hooking up". Apparently she slept over in early February after they spent some time together on Grammy weekend. Here are some photos of them at a pre-Grammy party with her sister and her mother. Full Story
Michelle & Cara's Valentine's Day
AKM-GSI/ Rann/ Splash
Cara Delevingne was in London last night. Michelle Rodriguez was in LA. Apart for Valentine's Day? Still together? Oh I hope so. But this thing caught on fire so fast, so intensely, so spectacularly, and some would say so stunt-ily, that I also wouldn't be surprised if it flamed out already. Full Story
Be Jakey's Valentine
Alyssa Miller posted this on Instagram late last night: Gossip handwriting experts have identified that this is Jake Gyllenhaal's writing using this sample for comparison: Full Story
Jude & Ruth v2.0
FameFlynet, Keystone
Almost exactly two years ago, it was reported that Jude Law and Ruth Wilson were dating. Click here for a refresher. It didn't really go anywhere and I'm not sure if it's because Ruth isn't as much of a headliner as, say, Sienna Miller or if it's because they didn't actually Go Anywhere. Full Story
Minka Kelly & Jake Gyllenhaal: F-ck Buddies?
You remember that episode of Sex & The City – The F-ck Buddy? Dean Winters played Carrie's f-ck buddy. Great sex in between relationships, always down for a hookup, but then she wondered if there was more…and there wasn't, which ruined their f-ck buddy situation forever and that, really, was the great loss. Full Story
Katie's front row friends
Larry Busacca/ Getty
Katie Holmes calls herself a fashion designer too, even though she hasn't presented at NYFW for a few seasons. That might be the excuse though if asked why she doesn't support her friend Victoria Beckham at her shows. But she did sit front row at Donna Karan's 30th anniversary last night soooooo… Posh and Katie totally broke up. Full Story
Nina & Liam?
Michael Buckner/ Getty
The Vampire Diaries shoots in Atlanta. So does The Hunger Games. And somehow Nina Dobrev and Liam Hemsworth found themselves together at a bar on Friday where someone creeped a photo of them – see below: According to onlookers at the pub, they kissed three times when they were leaving. Full Story
Can't stay away?
SPW/ Splash
Oh look. It's RiRi. It's Drizzy. And they hit up a club together this weekend in LA, exited separately, but got into the same car. What happened after? Well, if I were writing it, I'd have them figure it out – finally. But this is a book that just won't end. And we don't even know what happened to Zoe Kravitz. Full Story
Taylor Swift & Jared Leto?
Taylor Swift talked to Jared Leto at a Golden Globes after-party. He posted a photo on Instagram. And a partygoer also creeped a shot of Jared's mouth whispering into Taylor's ear and posted it on Twitter. So now…speculation. Just a week after I reported that she was checking Snapchat's Evan Spiegel during the holidays. Full Story
The couple of the year
Page Six reports exclusively that Courtney Love and Aaron Sorkin are checking each other, even though his publicist denies that they're "dating". According to the paper though, Courtney's been living at the Chateau Marmont, always a residence that promotes good, healthy relationships, and she and Aaron have been together for a few months. Full Story
Taylor Swift's new boyfriend?
Exclusive Here's Taylor Swift on Monday at the gym. And here's an update on her love life: Multiple sources have confirmed to me that she's been spending time with Evan Spiegel. He's 23. And he co-founded Snapchat. He's currently the CEO and on the cover of FORBES. Full Story
A movie but not dinner
VLNY / VLUV/ Splash, Keystone
Charlize Theron and Sean Penn. They've seen each other every day this year. Last night they went to the movies. Not sure what they saw. But God I'd love to sit behind those two, both Oscar winners (and I think in the same year too) looking up at Leonardo DiCaprio on the screen. Wouldn't you want to hear their thoughts? Anyway, a trip to Hawaii, NYE, sleepovers at home, then a movie date -- has this changed your assessment as to whether or not it's a casual hookup or a relationship? Wait. Full Story

A grievance is any unjust action, practice or condition committed by management. It is a statement that an employer, or someone acting on behalf of an employer, has violated a worker's rights that have been agreed to under the contract, or through legislation, or through the employer's past practice, or through the employer failing to meet management rules or responsibilities, or through lack off fair treatment. For example:
The National Labor Relations Act (also known as the Wagner Act of 1935) defines five unfair labor practices of employers.

Garde Arts Center
325 State Street,
New London,
13 people favorited this theater
The Garde Arts Center is one of the few remaining movie palaces in Connecticut.
Opened on September 22, 1926 as the 1,603-seat Garde Theatre, when the building was nearing completion, architect Benjamin Schlanger was consulted on the 'stencil on plaster' decorations in the auditorium. This former movie and vaudeville palace has been carefully and completely restored.
Now a performing arts center that still occasionally shows classic films, the Garde Arts Center is one of the most lavishly decorated theaters in the country.
Recent comments (view all 17 comments)
I understand that this theater is home to the largest remaining movie theater screen in Connecticut. Prior to the renovation, I saw restored prints of Ben Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, and Bridge on the River Kwai there. These widescreen epics deserve to be seen on the big screen… a REALLY big screen. Unfortunately, the Garde doesn't run a classic film schedule. Bummer!
The marquee reminds me of the one that was on the late, great Coliseum Theatre in Seattle.
I've been past this place a few times, next time, I'm going in to see a show.
Listed in the New Haven Advocate's Annual Manual. "A bonafide 1930s movie palace restored in the 1990s to its former magnificence and now serving as a multi-media performing arts center, with a Broadway subscription series…not to mention skads of children's shows and a summertime film series. A major venue in an out-of-the-way seaside city, you never know if a show will be sold out or desolate; just go with the flow.
Here is the Garde Arts Center at night.
I second that, SNWEB.ORG.
This was the Garde Theater in 1986.
This New York Times article mentions the Garde (toward the bottom) – it has been struggling as a performing arts center in the face of competition from newer venues though the news has improved recently: View link
Nice looking theatre I like the two verticals very old scholl looking.
Wurlitzer installed their pipe organ opus 1302 here in 1926, a very modest Style E, 2 manuals 7 ranks in one chamber. The organ was later moved to the Crystal Palace in West Goshen CT.

Revamped the synchronization logic. Synchronization now happens in a specific direction. For example, if we are doing a diff, we just need to push changes from the tree to the MCVS directory, not the other way around. Or: before an update or commit, we push from the tree to MCVS, then after the update, in the other direction. * code/update.lisp (mcvs-update): The before update is done in the :left direction only, and the after update in the :right. * code/move.lisp (mcvs-move): The just-in-case sync is done in the :left direction only. * code/link.lisp (mcvs-link): Likewise. * code/remove.lisp (mcvs-remove): Likewise. * code/add.lisp (mcvs-add): Get rid of mapping-synchronize call; it's completely unnecessary, since the new files are not even in the MAP-LOCAL, and the add logic explicitly links them into the MCVS directory. * code/generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): New keyword parameter, need-sync-before. Before-synchronization done in :left direction, after-synchronization in :right direction. Before-synchronization is now not done by default; need-sync-before must be specified. (mcvs-commit-wrapper): Specify before and after sync. (mcvs-diff-wrapper, mcvs-status-wrapper, mcvs-edit-wrapper): Explicitly specify before sync. (mcvs-tag-wrapper, mcvs-annotate-wrapper): Implicitly specify no sync. (mcvs-unedit-wrapper): Add before sync. * code/sync.lisp (synchronize-files): New key parameter :direction, values can be :left, :right or :either. Default is :either. If the value is :left or :right, then a sync is done only in that direction, otherwise the value :no-sync is returned. Behavior change: if the left file is missing (F- file in MCVS directory) it is not re-created, but rather :no-sync is returned. Also, if both files exist, have the same timestamp, and are distinct objects, if the direction is :left or :right, then the appropriate restart is automatically chosen. So this will do the right thing on filesystems where link() is performed by copying, without bothering the user with the error. * code/mapping.lisp (mapping-synchronize): New :direction key parameter, passed down to synchronize-filed. The new :no-sync return value from synchronize-files is handled. (mapping-update): Select the :right direction for synchronizing moves, adds or rollbacks.
* code/sync.lisp (synchronize-files): Call exec-check using file info object, rather than file name. This cuts in half the number of calls to stat().
More support for -n option. * code/mcvs-main.lisp (*usage*): Document -n option. * code/move.lisp (mcvs-move-wrapper): Remove bogus error check for presence of global options. * code/options.lisp (honor-dry-run): New macro for conditionally not executing some forms if it's a dry run, and logging some debugging information. * code/sync.lisp (synchronize-files): Honor dry run. * code/mapping.lisp (mapping-synchronize, mapping-update): Likewise.
Low level support for versioning executable bit. * code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp (unix-funcs:chmod): New callout function. * code/clisp-unix.lisp (executable-p, make-executable, make-non-executable): New generic functions. (executable-p (file-info), make-executable (file-info), make-executable (string), make-non-executable (file-info), make-non-executable (string)): New methods. * code/add.lisp (mcvs-add): Record whether new file is executable or not, by setting executable slot in mapping-entry. * code/create.lisp (mcvs-create): Likewise. * code/sync.lisp (synchronize-files): New parameter, should-be-executable, tells function which way to set permissions after synchronizing files. * code/mapping.lisp (mapping-entry): New slot, executable. (mapping-entry-parse-attributes): New function, parses new optional property list from :FILE entries in a mapping. (mapping-convert-in): Parse property list that may be present in fourth list element of a :FILE entry. (mapping-convert-out): Write out executable flag as :EXEC property, if true. (mapping-synchronize): Pass executable flag down to synchronize-files.
* sync.lisp (synchronize-files): Signal an error when the two files to be synchronized have the same time stamp. Provide two restarts for doing the synchronization either way.
* sync.lisp (synchronize-files): Return :dir symbol when either argument is a directory. * mapping.lisp (mapping-synchronize): Chatter output messages are shorter. Handles :dir return value from synchronize-files. (mapping-update): New sanity checks for moved and added files, to avoid clobbering local files. Removed redundant call to ensure-directories-exit in move logic, because synchronize-files will do it anyway. Chatter messages reordered to occur before their corresponding action is done. * mcvs-main.lisp (*mcvs-error-treatment*): Special variable can have new domain value, namely :decline. (mcvs-top-error-handler): Print error message when terminating non-restartable error. Handle new :decline treatment by simply returning. (mcvs-debug-shell): Set *mcvs-error-treatment* to :decline so that errors are caught by debugger.
MCVS is being renamed to Meta-CVS.

Management Planning for Río Grande del Norte National MonumentThe BLM is preparing a management plan for the Río Grande del Norte National Monument which will amend the current land use plan through the preparation of an environmental assessment.
October 2014 Oil and Gas Lease Sale The BLM has decided to defer 16 parcels nominated for oil and gas leasing near Cebolla, New Mexico until further information regarding potential impacts can be gathered. The parcels will not be considered for lease during the October 2014 lease sale as previously anticipated. Click here for more information.
Herbicide Treatment for Orilla Verde Recreation AreaThe Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Taos Field Office plans on continuing implementation of a native habitat restoration project in the Orilla Verde Recreation Area during the period of January 23, 2014, through April 15, 2014. The objective is to remove saltcedar and other nonnative, invasive vegetation species, and establish willows, cottonwoods, or other appropriate native riparian vegetation for wildlife and recreation values.
Commnet Embudo Wireless Communications Tower ProjectThe Taos Field Office approved the Commnet Embudo Wireless Communications Tower Project (see below) and issued Commnet Wireless Four Corners, LLC a right-of-way grant to carry out this project. The right-of-way grant provides for a communications tower to be constructed on public lands near the communities of Dixon and Embudo in Rio Arriba County. For more information, contact Mike Rodriguez at 575-751-4708.
Chimayó Water Tank ProjectThe BLM is currently finalizing the environmental assessment (EA) (see below) for the proposed Chimayó Water Tank Project in response to public comments. The EA evaluates the potential environmental impacts from a proposal by the Greater Chimayó Mutual Domestic Water Consumer Association to construct a 100,000-gallon water tank on public lands adjacent to the village of Chimayó. The BLM anticipates finalizing the EA and making a decision on the proposal by the end of this year. For more information, contact Brad Higdon at 575-751-4725.
Travel Management Planning to Begin Soon for El Palacio and Sombrillo AreasThe Taos Field Office is preparing to initiate a travel management planning process for El Palacio and Sombrillo transportation areas of Rio Arriba and Santa Fe Counties. This area-specific planning process is preceded by the approval of the Taos Resource Management Plan (RMP) in May 2012, which allocated these areas as "limited to designated routes" and established criteria for designating routes. The planning process will be initiated this fall and will include the following basic steps in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act:
To kick off the planning process, the public will soon be provided an opportunity to review data on existing routes and help validate the accuracy of the inventory. The BLM is also hoping the public will provide information on the uses of the routes during this initial step. Stay tuned for more information.
Proposed Sabinoso Wilderness Management Plan and Environmental AssessmentThe BLM is currently finalizing the Proposed Sabinoso Wilderness Management Plan and Environmental Assessment (EA) (see below) in response to public comments. This EA analyzes management guidance for resource values and resource uses within the Sabinoso Wilderness, located in San Miguel County.

Special to The Times
January 14, 2007
Jerome, Ariz. IT isn't often that a weekend getaway with a toddler revolves around a fire station and a high-altitude saloon whose patrons roar up on Harleys. But a visit to this tiny, cliff-hugging town is bound to be full of some pretty weird moments.
Jerome 90 miles north of Phoenix and snagged in a web of steep, narrow streets off scenic Arizona 89A at first glance is deceiving. It appears to be little more than a few hundred homes in various stages of gentrification or condemnation, a hippie hamlet where crumbling old houses with warped decks are perched next to recently restored Victorians.
Some visitors are curious about Jerome's reputation as a haunting ground for mining-era ghosts; others are lured by the dark humor and gourmet fare at restaurants with names like the Asylum. There's a reason for Jerome's love of the dark side: The town, between Sedona and Prescott, may look like another chic up-and-coming artist's colony, but it has a lot of historical skeletons in its closet.
At the turn of the last century, Jerome was a boomtown and home to 15,000 copper miners and assorted others, plus dozens of brothels, saloons and opium dens. In 1903, the New York Sun called it "the wickedest town in the West."
It was resurrected time and again after devastating fires and landslides (often caused by dynamite blasting in the mining tunnels below ground), and then thought to be lost for good when the Phelps Dodge mine closed in 1953.
Once the state's fourth-largest city, Jerome saw its population plummet below 100, becoming a ghost town almost overnight. Its saviors came in the form of squatter hippies and artists who took over the abandoned town in the '60s, in some cases buying up its rotting homes for a few dollars each. By the 1970s, Jerome had also become a mecca for rowdy motorcycle gangs, lured by the winding roads and clear vistas.
These days, most of Jerome's ramshackle hotels and brothels have been converted into upscale art galleries. Californians have been snapping up homes, but the longtime "Jeromies" about 450 in all still reign supreme.
The motorcyclists are now older and tamer, but they still prompt locals to wonder out loud whether Jerome is a biker town with an artist problem, or an artist town with a biker problem. Either way, Jerome finally seems to be coming into its own.
At first, we were convinced that our family foray two grandparents, two stepsisters, a toddler and some looming clouds overhead was doomed. Art galleries filled with fragile, expensive ceramics; loud saloons they don't usually mix with a 2-year-old. But dozens of families were milling about. "Just don't forget your stroller, like we did," tourist Mekell Burch said as she trudged up and down Jerome's outrageously steep stairways.
We started with a walking tour (1 1/2 hours at $10 per person) given by local historian Nancy Smith. She came here 34 years ago, "when Jerome was practically deserted; you'd see more dogs on the streets than people."
Within minutes, it started to rain, so we ducked into Jerome's fire station. We met Rusty Blair, the assistant fire chief, who was on what locals call "mountain stranded time" and had a free moment to let our toddler climb into the firetruck. Meanwhile, Smith filled us in on Jerome's claim to fame (aside from the views and its mining history): its ghosts.
Belgian Jenny is just one of Jerome's mining-era madams whose spirit is said to be lurking about. Another ghost making frequent cameos, Smith said, is Sammie, a prostitute who was murdered in the early 1930s.
When the rain stopped, we resumed our tour, then lunched at the English Kitchen, Arizona's oldest continually operating restaurant, first opened in 1899 by one of the town's many Chinese immigrants and now the place to go for good pies.
But if you want a view while you dine, try the patio of the Haunted Hamburger you'll work off the calories just climbing the stairs to reach it. After lunch, we sat on bleachers across from the Spirit Room saloon, where rowdy blues and rock spill from a dark doorway into the midday sun and where bouncer Griz, with his gray beard and ripped shirts, keeps tabs on just about everyone. The bleachers, built into the hillside just below a children's park, are a good spot for motorcycle and people watching. The bikers look tough but are nice, allowing us to take snaps of them.
"The OMG [outlaw motorcycle gang] is a thing of the past," said Jerome Police Chief Allen Muma, who along with his wife, Jackie, owns the Ghost City Inn. "These days, you're more likely to see RUBs rich urban bikers," said the chief, who has two Harleys.
If a walking tour isn't up your alley, then catch a carriage ride with Bob Peterson who goes by Wyoming Pete when writing poetry and his horses Babe and Barney. Peterson is a weathered cowboy and artist who "parallel parks" his horses (a good skill in a town with limited parking) with a synchronized crossover four-step.
The best part of Jerome aside from its colorful locals is gallery hopping. The Jerome Artists Cooperative shows the work of 35 local artists, and the Raku Gallery combines gorgeous ceramics and jewelry with jaw-dropping views of the Verde Valley below and the red rocks of Sedona in the distance. A great store for gifts is Nellie Bly, with its vast collection of kaleidoscopes ranging from $5 to $5,000. Two other favorites are Aurum's handmade jewelry and knives and the work of local artist Mark Hemleben, which can be found at the old high school, now a warren of artist studios where stairwells are hung with oil paintings and classrooms have been converted into individual galleries.
For dinner, we got a table with a view at the Asylum, whose wine list scores top marks from the Wine Spectator. We drank wine from the nearby Page Springs Cellars and nibbled on beef tenderloin and Castroville artichokes before walking down the hill by moonlight for some dancing at the Spirit Room.
When you're ready to catch some sleep, there are several historical inns to choose from most said to be haunted including the Surgeon's House, the Ghost City Inn, the Connor Hotel (check first to see if bands will be playing late at the Spirit Room below) and our choice the Jerome Grand Hotel, a converted hospital with an antique, original elevator. One of our rooms No. 32 is said to "have a lot of ghostly activity," according to tour guide Smith, as well as a gorgeous balcony view. No ghosts came to visit, however. Feeling a bit bleary-eyed after the late-night dancing, we had breakfast at the sunny Flatiron Cafe, where you can sip the best macchiato in town before more gallery hopping or well-intentioned loitering. Yes, by midday Sunday, we had seen most every nook of the tiny town, but were in no rush to leave.
Perhaps it was mountain stranded time setting in, or the side effects of Jeromatherapy.

Was that a real rattler? How did it get in to the joint?
Hey Frank, which one is you?Thats me with my drinking buddy.
Regardless of how he got in, something tells me that rattler would not be a good drinking buddy...
All kidding aside, cool pics, Frank!
Your friend,
I'm willing to bet he got in with a fake I.D. There's no way that rattler's a day over 17...Was that a real rattler? How did it get in to the joint?

No, Frank, I wouldn't drink with a rattler. I don't trust the look of those snake eyes and, besides, rattlers are renowned for their biting sarcasm...Originally Posted by kikibalt

As for the following, I don't know...
Snakes always kind of creeped me out. However, I can relate to it from the sense that I've had a similar fascination with sharks.I think snakes are very cool and beautiful creatures, but I think I would soil myself if one crashed my party.
Can you guys see the eyes on the rattler?

We're giving finals this week for the first semester and, after lunch, we're kind of on our own.
I came in very early today and was kinda woozy and punchy by the afternoon.
Funny, I pasted my face on a snake and almost posted it up, but it looked really, really stupid. Still, I might do that later...

text: Hog Prices Expected to Improve in December Expect $45-$47 range for the live weight equivalent for 51% to 52% lean carcasses. Published on: Dec 1, 2005 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Despite a the hog market low during the week of Thanksgiving, Purdue University marketing specialist Chris Hurt expects hog prices to improve in December. Hurt forecasts prices to hang around the $45 to $47 range for the live weight equivalent for 51% to 52% lean carcasses. He says further strength is expected in the winter, with prices averaging near $47 in the first quarter, $48 in the second quarter, and $49 in the third quarter. Lean hog futures traders are also confident of cash hog price recovery, he notes. Futures prices through next August provide hedging opportunities that are currently higher than projected cash prices. In addition, with corn and soybean meal prices now looking weak, costs of production through next summer are expected to be about $38 to $39 per live hundredweight. This means a hedging profit potential of $10 to $12 per live hundredweight."These hedging profits should be strongly considered given the possible opening of beef trade to Asia," says Hurt. "In addition, the Dec. 28 release of the Hogs and Pigs report by USDA is expected to show winter farrowings up 2% and the beginning of a U.S. breeding herd expansion of perhaps 1 to 2%."Any greater buildup in these numbers may make current hedging returns glow with missed profit opportunities," he says.

FORTUNE -- The skies are not looking too friendly these days, at least for an airline. Already crunched by high fuel prices and struggling customers, airlines will face tougher rules on carbon emissions for flights landing and taking off in Europe as of January 1, if the European Union has its way.
The U.S. government is fighting to keep American companies from having to comply, but airlines must prepare for the worst-case scenario.
The situation is already bleak. Oil prices have been increasingly volatile in recent years, and airlines are particularly exposed to these fluctuations. Add to that, consumers have started flying less often since the global recession started in late 2008.
To stay above ground, almost every company has piled on extra fees where they can -- surplus legroom, baggage check, in-flight food -- irking passengers who had already cut back on flying. Some companies, such as United Airlines (UAL) and Continental, have combined in an attempt to seek safety with sheer size. On the other end, American Airlines (AMR) declared bankruptcy in November.
And now, the European Union is cracking down on carbon. Next year, airlines will have to pay the EU for the carbon they emit -- past a certain threshold -- during every flight that graces a European runway. No airline is pleased. More

Special Offer
When we heard about the cute couple who met on Facebook because they have the same name (check out their amazing story on the next page), we went on a hunt for more rom-com-worthy love stories. We wouldn't be surprised if one of these winds up being the plot of a flick starring Matthew McConaughey and Katherine Heigl.
Train Spotting
"I was waiting for the subway late at night after work. Even though I was tired, I couldn't help but notice a cute guy on the platform. We exchanged glances, and once the train arrived, he sat next to me in the empty car. I should have been freaked out, but there was such an insane attraction between us. I struck up a conversation, and we talked until his stop. He asked if he could call me, but when I reached for my business cards, I had none left and there wasn't time to exchange numbers.
"Just as the doors were about to close, he yelled, 'Where do you work?' I shouted it to him, but I didn't think he heard me and didn't expect to hear from him again. The next day, he tracked down my company, called, and just asked for Christa since he didn't know my last name. We went out five days after that and are still going out five years later." Christa, 31
Tag, You're Hot
"My boyfriend and I went to college in different states, and the distance put a strain on our relationship. He said he was tired from classes, but I knew something was up. I finally got my answer when a guy at his school tagged pictures of him kissing other girls on Facebook. I messaged the dude who posted the photos and asked him what my soon-to-be-ex was up to. He didn't realize my guy had a girlfriend and clued me in on his behavior.
"We continued to talk after my breakup, and I discovered we had a ton in common. Soon we were visiting each other, and several months later, I transferred to his school. My ex looks upset when he sees us, but I'm the happiest I've ever been." Katrina, 20
She Bagged Him
"I went to a movie and dinner with friends, but when I got to the restaurant, I realized I had left my clutch underneath my seat at the theater. I freaked out and had to cancel my credit cards, but a week later, I received a package. Inside was my clutch, with a message from a guy who said he'd found it at the movies. I sent him a thank-you note and asked if I could drop off a reward. When I met him, I couldn't believe my luck: I got my stuff back and a date with the sexy man who found it who is now my boyfriend." Caitie, 27
She's a Catch
"I enrolled in a theater class, and it was my job to help build sets for a production of Romeo and Juliet. One of the actors was running through his lines on stage while I was on top of a ladder painting some scenery. Thanks to my clumsy ass, I lost my balance and fell...and he caught me in his arms. We started dating a week later, and we've been inseparable ever since." Kendall, 21

We rent rooms in a house surrounded by nature Assisi for those who want to spend a holiday of rest and relax.
A few minutes from the historic center on foot or by car, has 5 bedrooms some with en suite bathroom shared with others. Shared kitchen and lounge. Large garden with barbecue and fireplace. It has TV (sitting room), washer and dryer and line wirelles. Private parking
I had an excellent stay of 4 weeks in Casa Peppe and Maria enjoying everything at 100 %: the house, my room, the surroundings which are ideal for walks in the peaceful and beautiful Umbrian nature, the city of Assisi and the small Rivotorto village etc = everything. Darias's mother Antonellla, who lives next door in the same house, is the most helpful person showing an extraordinary hospitality towards the guests. Thank you so much. I can highly recommend this Airbnb-place to everybody.
Nice place
Very considerate host. Big house with lots of space and the ability to cook, which was nice. Daria met us at the house despite our last minute reservation. This is more like a B&B/hostel. It was a very clean space and the onsite "mom" Anonella was absolutely charming and accommodating. We would stay there again.
Place is great. Its quiet and beautiful. Plenty of snacks etc and fruit. Assisi is a beautiful town and a special place. Loved hike to castle. Churches were very moving. Our only problem was an hour spent trying to find the place. Navi couldn't find the place for some reason.I hope they put up a good sign as it is really needed.Liked the place and would stay there happily again.
I enjoyed my stay but parking was a little tough. They have a long driveway and you can park along the side of it. This is fine if everyone parks off to the side.
Daria has been so kind to fetch me from the train station. The location is wonderful, it has a very good view of the surroundings and in walking distance to the Assisi. The room is big and very clean with toilet on its own (comparable to 4 stars hotel)! I was welcomed with fresh fruits! It's the best place I stayed so far in this airbnb ;).
Daria's mom also has been very kind to invite me for dinner, to check in the morning if i want to be dropped at assisi and she also dropped me off to the train station in the morning when i left. It is a pleasant place to stay!
A fantastic place where to stay and enjoy this magic valley.
This is a really special house. It feels like it's miles from anywhere, way out in the Tuscan hills, a little house among the olive, fig and pomegranate trees, and yes, you can sometimes hear a donkey. Actually though, you can walk 15 minutes along a gorgeous country lane called Mother Earth Way to an escalator which takes you right up to the Porta Nuova!
Our room was spacious and clean with a lovely bathroom (with a bath!), a great way to relax after a hard day's sightseeing. Downstairs there is a large dining area with a kitchen, so you don't need to go to restaurants 3 times a day. The wifi works very well.
But the best thing about it are the people who live there, especially Daria's mum Antonella who is so kind and welcoming! We had nice chats, she offered us wine and steaks from her barbecue and was an exceptionally gracious lady:and she took us in her car to the bus when we left Assisi. My only complaint is that the garden and house are so peaceful and lovely that you might rather stay there all day than go see the Giottos!
A great place to stay! Daria's mother was so kind to pick me up from train station early in the morning and gave me a large, comfortable ensuite double room to rest after the night travel. Not to mention the house is fully equipped. The walk to city centre only takes about 20 min uphill (and once you enter the city you will love it too) and offers a nice glimpse of the Umbrian plains. On the next day Daria's mother again gave me a ride to the city centre to attend a mass in the morning and drove me to the train station in the afternoon - on the way she stopped several times for me to take a final pic of Assisi!!! I am really thankful to her hospitality and the kindness of other guests in the house.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the country house near Assisi to which we had a warm welcome from our hostess.
Everything was to our liking: a large bedroom with a fine ensuite bathroom, a kitchen where we prepared our meals and a lovely sunny garden. We were able to walk along country lanes to the nearby San Damiano where Saint Francis stayed with his followers all those years ago.. The surrounding olive groves were a delight at this Spring time, and the peaceful setting of the house a welcome change from the busy streets of Assisi. We would love to return in the future and strongly recommend this place to other travellers.
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

United Airlines keeping hunters from taking guns
A friend of mine went to fly out of Eugene, OR in June to go Elephant hunting he arrived at airport 2 hours early, the agent at counter Debra would not allow him to check his rifle finally he walked out to the sidewalk haled a taxi gave the cab driver some money and told him to take the guns to his Dad's house. With 15 min to go he boarded the plane as they were ready to shut the door. This is not the first time United caused problems for hunter
below is a article from The Hunting Report
Refusals to Check Through Firearms, and All Out Bans to Some International Destinations
Hunting travel is getting more and more difficult as various US airlines make seemingly random policy changes regarding the transport of firearms. Here at The Hunting Report we have learned of several problems hunters have recently experienced traveling to their international hunts. We distributed Email Extra Bulletins warning about these developments as we learned of them. Here is a listing of the problems we know of and which airlines are behind them:
US Airways will not transport firearms to or from Spain. We learned of this development from Bruno Rosich of Trophy Hunting Spain who obtained a copy of the airlines internal Policy on International Firearm Acceptance dated January 18, 2012. The policy attributes the ban to government requirements by both the United States and Spain, but it does not say exactly what those requirements are. No other airline seems to have this problem, however, including the Spanish carrier Iberia Air. Airline representatives at company headquarters have refused to clarify this policy.
United Airlines has refused to check firearms through to hunters' final international destinations. The airline will only check guns as far as the international gateway in the US, where the passenger must claim the bag and go through check-in and security all over again. We know of at least two hunters who experienced this recently. One was connecting to South African Airways in Dulles and was refused passage at all. The other was checked only as far as Chicago. The first hunter was told this was due to a policy change in April. Representatives with South African Airways say they have cleared up the problem as far as connections with them are concerned. The second hunter was told his treatment was due to a new TSA requirement that went into effect March 1st.
Furthermore, United will not transport firearms to or from Denmark or Turkey. The airline also reminds passengers to obtain a transit permit if flying through The Netherlands.
American Airlines recently refused to check through a firearm for a passenger connecting with Emirate Airlines in Dallas on a trip to South Africa. Additionally, the airline still does not accept firearms to the United Kingdom. This particular policy has been in place since September of 2007, but every year we hear of hunters caught unawares and having their firearms left behind or confiscated in London. (We are indebted to Steve Turner of Travel with Guns for giving us the heads up on United and American airlines.)
The Hunting Report placed an inquiry with TSA (the Transportation Security Administration) in mid-June, but had not yet received a response at press time. We also shared all this with Nelson Freeman, of SCI's Government Affairs & Hunter Advocacy, who was arranging to meet with the airline trade association to learn what's behind these policy changes and, possibly, work out some kind of solution. We'll keep you posted on any developments.
Anyone experiencing problems with their hunting travel this season is urged to send us a report immediately. In the meantime, be aware that the above airlines could cause you serious delays in your international travel this hunting season. Either plan enough time between connecting flights to claim and recheck your hunting firearms or consider booking with a different airline if you can.
This is the letter that my friend wrote to United/Skywest
To Whom It May Concern:
My recent experience with United Airlines, flight 6375 departing Eugene, Oregon, at 5:15 p.m. on June 26, was met with intentional deception by counter check-in personnel employed by United/SkyWest at Eugene. We arrived at the Eugene airport 2 hours before boarding to check in luggage and a firearm. We immediately ran into issues with the counter personnel and after 2 hours and as the plane was being boarded, we were told that South African Airways does not allow firearms on their flights (also told that we would not be able to enter Zimbabwe without yellow fever certificate) and that United would not transport my firearm out of Eugene, Oregon. I was fortunate to find a taxi available and was able to have my firearm sent to my fatherç´ house. We were barely able to board the plane and I was only issued a boarding pass from Eugene to San Francisco.
Upon arrival at SF, we immediately went to the Lufthansa counter and met with a very knowledgeable and helpful employee of Lufthansa that asked what had happened in Eugene. æ·»our ticket is all screwed up. I explained to her that we met resistance in Eugene over the firearm. The Lufthansa employee was able to get the seating straightened out for our flight to Munich. At Munich, we immediately went to the South African Airway counter and met another knowledgeable and helpful employee that asked what happened with my ticket. In response, I explained the problems we had in Eugene and that we were told that South African Airways does not allow firearms. His response was éhatç´ ridiculous; South Africa Airways transports more firearms than any other airline in the world? South African Airways straightened out my remaining boarding passes.
All airline firearm policies are readily available on their respective web site. I feel especially aggrieved, as I know that it was an intentional attempt to sabotage a vacation that I had saved up for and cannot easily duplicate.
On July 19, we went back to the Eugene airport to get a name to go with this report. The women covered her nametag yet we were able get the name, Debra L., from another employee. There was also a man involved in the June 26 incident that acted as if he may have been her supervisor who was not seen on the 19 and his name is unknown at this time. I hold both of these people in contempt and feel that United Airlines/SkyWest is responsible for their actions. The only explanations that I can come up with for such behavior is that they are: a) poorly trained b) ignorant c) anti-hunters d) anti-gun, and I suspect a combination of all four. Though she may be very calculating and pulled off exactly what she planed as she 1) stopped me from taking my gun to Africa 2) nearly made me miss the flight out of Eugene 3) make other flights difficult by scrambling my boarding passes, she was pretty successful and accomplished 1 and 3 much to the displeasure of Lufthansa and South African Airlines. Hopefully this has not become a United Airlines policy and these individuals are rogues and acted on their own.
I am compelled to bring this behavior out in public. Hunters should be aware of these problems when flying out of Eugene or possible anywhere with United. I will be sending this report to the National Rifle Association, Safari Club International including the local chapter and Oregon Hunters Association - all organizations which my wife and I are members, along with other hunting web sites and anyone that I can get to listen. I encourage the above-mentioned organizations to make this report available to all their members.
I have written this as an informative letter that outlines the injustices and my grievances against United/SkyWest employees. They should take this opportunity to recognize they have a problem, take action against their employees and reconcile with us, making assurances that this will not happen again.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I await your response.

I'm sure it's a isolated incident. I know checking a gun in Chicago can be real fun too. But most personnel whether they hate hunters or not will follow protocol.

Things went real smooth for me flying Delta. Mayb I was just lucky or Kansas City is a better place to leave from. Would'nt the person who caused a hunter to miss a flight because they do not know the regulation be liable for a law suit. It they got sued a few times this nonsense would stop.

My three previous trips, 2-Delta, 1-United, no problems of any kind.
2008 when checking luggage in at Joburg to return home, clerk asked where our ammo was, checked bag of course. They made us take it out of checked bags and put in our rifle cases. Example of left hand not knowing what right hand is doing.

This is copied from SCIs latest newsletter. Just one more reason to support SCI.
SCI Meets With Airline Trade Association To Protect Traveling Hunters: SCIç´ lobbyists recently met with Airlines-4-America, the airline industry trade association in Washington, DC. As nearly all hunters know the difficulty and heartache that traveling with your hunting rifle can cause. That is why SCIç´ Washington, DC office is working to make sure consistent (hunter friendly) baggage policies are implemented across the airline industry. SCI provided past and current examples where traveling sportsmen and women are being specifically restricted in flying with their sporting firearm. All hunters know that the effort to improve airline policies will be difficult and changes will not be seen overnight. However, through the work of SCIç´ Washington, DC office, the fight to make positive changes for all hunters will not stop.The journey is the reward.

Final Score: NY Yankees 3, Chicago Cubs 0 (Game One)
Final Score: NY Yankees 2, Chicago Cubs 0 (Game Two)
Bronx, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - This time, there was no controversy over Michael Pineda's latest impressive start. The New York Yankees hurler fired six scoreless innings to help the Bronx Bombers complete a doubleheader sweep of the visiting Chicago Cubs with a 2-0 victory in Wednesday's nightcap. Five days after drawing plenty of attention -- for both his performance and for an apparent foreign substance on his right hand that was caught by television cameras -- when tossing six innings of one-run ball to defeat the Boston Red Sox, Pineda (2-1) held a punchless Chicago offense to four hits and a walk. It was his third straight strong outing since returning to the majors following a two-year absence caused by shoulder problems. The shutout was the second of the day for the Yankees' staff, with Masahiro Tanaka yielding just two singles and fanning 10 over eight frames in New York's 3-0 triumph in the opener. The Yankees last blanked an opponent in both games of a doubleheader on Apr. 9, 1987, doing so against Kansas City.
Final Score: Cincinnati 4, Pittsburgh 0
Cincinnati, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Johnny Cueto continued his great start with a three-hit shutout and finally received some run support to pick up his first win of the season, as the Cincinnati Reds earned a 4-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday afternoon at Great American Ball Park. Cueto had surrendered just five runs and 13 hits over 21 innings in his first three outings this season, but the Reds had scored just one run while he was on the mound. They quickly got one in the first without a hit and Joey Votto clubbed a two-run homer in the seventh to provide some cushion, as the Reds took two of three from their NL Central rivals in a period of less than 24 hours. Monday's series opener was suspended by rain in the seventh inning and the Pirates completed an 8-7 win late Tuesday afternoon before Cincinnati earned a 7-5 triumph in Tuesday's regularly scheduled game. The Reds won a series for the first time this season. Cueto (1-2) was brilliant on Wednesday, limiting the Pirates to a pair of infield singles and a double. He did not issue a walk while setting a career best with 12 strikeouts, throwing 71 of his 107 pitches for strikes. Francisco Liriano (0-3) was the hard-luck loser and remained winless in four starts this season. He yielded three runs on six hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in seven innings.
Final Score: Milwaukee 5, St. Louis 1
Milwaukee, WI (SportsNetwork.com) - Jonathan Lucroy drove in two runs to push the Milwaukee Brewers past the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-1, to avoid being swept in the three-game set. Aramis Ramirez had three hits and drove in a run, while Carlos Gomez and Lyle Overbay each had an RBI for the Brewers, who snapped a two-game skid. Wily Peralta (2-0) surrendered only one run on six hits with three strikeouts across 6 1/3 innings. Allen Craig's solo home run accounted for the St. Louis' lone run. Yadier Molina and Jon Jay had two hits apiece for the Cardinals, who entered the game with four straight wins. Cardinals starter Joe Kelly (1-1) exited the game in the fifth inning with a leg injury. He laid down a bunt and grabbed his hamstring after getting thrown out at first base to end the frame. He immediately called the team's trainer and limped off the field. The right-hander allowed one run on three hits with two strikeouts in four innings before exiting the game. Seth Maness took the mound in relief of the injured starter.
Final Score: New York 5, Arizona 2
Phoenix, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Dillon Gee tossed seven scoreless innings to earn his first win of the season and Anthony Recker homered, as the New York Mets downed Arizona, 5-2, to sweep the three-game set. Daniel Murphy, David Wright and Kirk Nieuwenhuis each drove in a run for the Mets, winners in five of their last seven and owners of their first road sweep of Arizona since a four-game triumph from June 8-11, 2006. Gee (1-0) was yanked after only 72 pitches, having allowed only three hits while striking out three. He also added an RBI groundout. Paul Goldschmidt doubled and homered, while Aaron Hill added a solo shot for the Diamondbacks, who finished their homestand 0-6. Brandon McCarthy (0-3) was tagged for seven hits and three runs over his 5 2/3-inning outing.
Final Score: Atlanta 1, Philadelphia 0
Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Julio Teheran pitched his first career shutout to lead the Atlanta Braves to a 1-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Teheran (2-1) allowed just three hits with four strikeouts to lead the Braves to their fifth straight victory. Evan Gattis continued his hot play of late by going a career-high 4-for-4 with a solo home run. Gattis stroked two home runs in Monday's 9-6 win to open the series. Ryan Howard, Carlos Ruiz, and Jimmy Rollins accounted for Philadelphia's three hits while Cliff Lee (2-2) threw a career-high 128 pitches across nine frames. He surrendered one run on 11 hits with 13 strikeouts for the Phillies, who have dropped two straight.
Final Score: Washington 6, Miami 3
Miami, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Zach Walters hit a solo homer during a three- run eighth inning as the Washington Nationals rallied past the Miami Marlins, 6-3, in the rubber match of a three-game series. Ian Desmond added a two-run single in the eighth for the Nationals, who improved to 5-1 against Miami this season. Jayson Werth hit a three-run homer. Washington starter Tanner Roark allowed three runs on seven hits while striking out five over 6 1/3 innings. Drew Storen (1-0) recorded the final two outs in the seventh to pick up the win. Derek Dietrich smacked a three-run homer for the Marlins, who failed to build off Tuesday's 11-2 victory. Jose Fernandez gave up three unearned runs on four hits with 10 strikeouts over seven innings. He entered Wednesday's game with an 11-0 career record in Miami. Mike Dunn (0-2) took the loss after giving up the homer to Walters.
Final Score: San Diego 4, Colorado 2
San Diego, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Andrew Cashner followed up a one-hit performance with another solid start to help the San Diego Padres to a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. Cashner, who fanned 11 Detroit Tigers on Friday in a 6-0 win, struck out five and allowed two runs -- one earned -- on nine hits over 7 1/3 innings Wednesday. Tommy Medica hit a solo homer, Chris Denorfia had two RBI and Alexi Amarista scored twice in the Padres' third win in their last four. The two teams wrap up the four-game set on Thursday. Justin Morneau went 3-for-3 and knocked in both Colorado runs, while starter Jorge De La Rosa went six innings and surrendered three runs -- two earned -- with four strikeouts and a walk.
Final Score: San Francisco 2, Los Angeles 1
San Francisco, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Pablo Sandoval's RBI single in the seventh inning lifted the San Francisco Giants to a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night. The news for the Dodgers could have been worse. Shortstop Hanley Ramirez left the game after he was hit on the outside of his left hand by a Ryan Vogelsong pitch leading off the seventh inning, but X-rays taken during the game came back negative. Buster Posey also had an RBI single for the Giants, who won the opener of the three-game series 3-2 on Tuesday on Hector Sanchez's RBI single in the 12th inning. The Giants are 4-1 in the season series. Dee Gordon drove in the Dodgers run with a triple off Vogelsong in the sixth inning that scored Los Angeles starter Paul Maholm. The Dodgers have dropped the first two games of the series after sweeping Arizona to start a six-game road trip.

After re-reading my post, I neglected to mention that the room below does not have walls framed out (it has plaster applied directly to the brick), which is why I'm not running the pipes straight down or joining them at a 45.
I'm reconfiguring an upper floor bathroom and trying to figure out the plumbing. In particular, I want to move the toilet to the far left hand side of the bathroom; put a double vanity in the middle; and a shower stall on the right. The main stack is in the middle of the bathroom, so the toilet presents a problem, as I can't drill a large enough hole through the joists (I have true 2x9 joists, so maximum hole size is 3"). My idea is to drop the line just below the joists and run it in a soffit until I can join the main stack, which is embedded in a large brick channel in the exterior wall.
I'm in NYC so I believe I'm under UPC. One question I have is whether I need to add a cleanout on the right hand side (I'm assuming the toilet counts as a cleanout on the left). Another one is whether than double 1/4 bend is allowable; I would assume so since it's directional, but I've never really seen anyone use one before.
Any feedback appreciated.
After re-reading my post, I neglected to mention that the room below does not have walls framed out (it has plaster applied directly to the brick), which is why I'm not running the pipes straight down or joining them at a 45.
Say, those some nice drawings - better than we usually see around here. What tools were used to make them?
UPC requires no cleanouts above 1st floor or on horiz pipes less than 5 ft long, although they may come in handy someday,
especially on the wc drain.
I'd use a double sweep (long turn 1/4 bend) tee where those horiz drains meet.
I used Sketchup. Charlotte Pipe used to publish real models for all their fittings, though they no longer seem to be available now. But if you look at some old plumbing models in Sketchup's 3D Warehouse you can cut and paste them in. I wanted to actually model it, rather than do an iso drawing, so I could see exactly how much space I was going to lose.
So joining both branches at a double bend is okay in general? I could potentially stagger them if I drill through the joists on the right (keeping 2" the whole way) and wet vent the shower through the right hand sink (saves me a vent, too). I'm hesitant to do that since I'd have to move it a few inches out from the wall (can't drill within 2" of the edge of a joist) instead of being almost flush against the wall. Again, I'm trying to really minimize the space I'm going to lose up there.
Avoid any hassles. Use a double combo with a bushing on top. Install a riser with a double fixture fitting and two arms for the sinks. The shower and toilet would stay the same as the drawing shows them.

Hey everyone. I am in week 5 and having a hard time staying motivated. Week 4 was brutal. I missed 2 workouts and my diet was crap. I have started week 5 now and I am trying to keep with it. In 5 weeks the scale has hardly moved, but I did lose about 1-2 inches everywhere on my body.
Needing some encouragement. I really want to drop the 20-25 pounds that I set as my goal. I really don't want to be here a year from now wishing I never gave up.
hi there,
i have just finished a challenge and started a new one and i must be honest, where you are right now was soooo hard for me. felt like the end was further away than when i started, and my eating was stagnating(it was over christmas and that didn't help either).
i ended up losing 30 pounds over the whole challenge. Lots more to go so small victories.
this is how i looked at the last 6 weeks, made me realise that every workout was ESSENTIAL, and that every meal counted.
So with 6 weeks left you have...
9 Upper body workouts left ONLY 9.
9 Lower body workouts, again ONLY 9.
Only 18 Cardio sessions, thats all, 18 20 min sessions to reach your goal.
For me seeing only 9 upper body workout meant i could do that easy, hell man how can you stop when there are only 9 left????
And besides, if the eating is crap the scale will show it, if the workouts are good the scale isn't so quick to show it, but losing inches is what makes it all worthwhile.
hang in there, your self esteem and pride at finishing are worth it, never mind the results that you WILL get if you workout hard and eat right.
hope this helps.
Thanks man. I appreciate it.
You can do this! You need to dig deep inside and tap into your inner strength and practice self-disipline. You are courageous, worthy and deserve to live a healthy life. Make yourself proud of your accomplishments, put yourself first and do not let food define you. Instead foster the athlete within, push hard everyday in the gym and fuel your body for the next grueling workout session.
You are a winner, now make it happen.
I am in week 7 and can relate! Just came across this link in another thread - its a must read! Apparently weeks 8-9 things really start to fall in place!
You seem to be extremely knowledgeable and have a real grasp of the BFL program. There are so many different suggestions, recommendations etc. I seem to be getting confused and wanted your advice. You had amazing results and would like some ideas and suggestions. I have been extremely solid with workouts, diet and exercise except for over doing it a bit on my free day. Here was yesterdays menu. Could you tell me what you think?
-Myoplex lite drink
-2 turkey sausage links
-Serving of egg whites
-Myoplex Lite Bar
Meal 3
-Body for Life Hawaiin Pita Pizza
-Myoplex Lite Drink
Meal 5
-Body for Life Stuffed Peper
-Serving of brown Rice
Meal 6
-3 Celery Sticks
-Serving of fat Free Cottage Cheese
Calories about 1579 Fat 40.02 Carbs 146 Protein 159
I seem to be second guessing some of my choices because of all the different suggestions etc. Getting confused. I am in week 7. i normally do not eat 2 bars in a day but seem a little hungrier in week 7 so i added this to help me. Any Suggestions would be great.
Hi Scott,
Thank you for your request. I appreciate your kind words. It sounds like you are in information overload. ha ha.. I would be happy to help in any way. Please send me a personal email (my email address is shown in my profile) and we can go over your meal plan, workouts etc.. I will do my best to assist you.
Warm Regards,
Thanks Lori. I do think I am second guessing myself. I feel overwhelmed. I will gather my informations and thoughts together. I will email you this weekend. Thanks again, Scott
I look forward to hearing from you! I am free on Saturday.
We can make this happen!!
Also, we have to remember, for many of us, this didnt just happen overnight. Our bodies were used to a certain behavior. IMO our bodies resist change, which is why sometimes it's so hard to change. You know, the old habits are hard to break thing. Your mind will try to trick you, your body will be trying to trick you, so even though all of you wants to wonder what you are doing, there is that inner strength that can overcome!! And you body is going thru changes. Once it sees you arent trying to starve it, it will start co-operating with you. When everything is on the same playbook, THEN I think you'll start to see your changes you want. So eat right, hit your 10's and let's do this!! I'm about the same place you are, and I know what you are going thru! It tends to be new and fresh and your body is give you a 'high' to start, then you sometimes hit the wall it feels like. We just have to push thru it. I know we want it, and I know we can do it!
