How many fat calories do you burn walking a mile,how to lose bum and thigh fat quickly,not eating burn fat or muscle,chubby belly girl 22 - And MoreCategory: Work Out Plan | 28.08.2014
National physical activity experts report that workers today are burning an average of 120 to 140 fewer calories a day than workers in the 1960s. Your body can absorb the nutrients in the food more readily, since it is broken down better. A British study shows taking a short, brisk walk can reduce the amount of snacking you do at work. February is Heart Health Month, which makes it a great time for individuals to evaluate their lifestyle and how it may be contributing to or harming their heart's wellbeing. We Minnesotans are used to the snow and cold of winter, but this season has seemed especially brutal, hasn't it? The below-zero windchills and heavy snow make it feel easier to stay indoors and eat at our desk than to go out or go home for lunch.
Dieting can be frustrating when the scale is not showing a decrease in pounds or the weight is not staying off. Here's another great OPTIFAST success story!In her late twenties, Elizabeth began taking a new medication which caused her to rapidly gain weight.
Researchers have found that people who are overweight have an increased risk of loss in brain volume, which could translate to decreased mental function later in life.
If you need a little extra help keeping track of your daily food intake and planning meals, we have some technology suggestions that can help!
The habit of snacking appears to be more common now than several decades ago, and it could be affecting people's waistlines. A study found that if you are over the age of 35, drinking two cups of water before every meal is an effective weight management tool. You may have heard in the news recently that the American Medical Association designated obesity as a disease.
Patients and friends have been telling me about using these "milks" for their morning shakes. The holiday season is no exception and is actually a great opportunity to show them how much you care.
It is easy to make poor food choices when faced with all those sugar-covered treats — especially at Halloween parties. Also, the food is exposed for a longer period of time to enzymes in your mouth that help break down fat, improving digestion. The Framingham Cohort Study looked at the health of 5,036 people living in the United States. If you are planning a vacation, do you map out the route or program it into your GPS before you get in the car? Croix Orthopaedics, every 15 pounds of excess weight puts 100 pounds more pressure on the body's joints. Be mindful, though, that eating your lunch at your desk can have negative consequences for your diet.When we eat at our desks, we are often distracted by email, phone calls and other interruptions.
They claim this forces the body to use its fat reserves for fuel instead of the carbohydrates quickly available from a pre-workout meal or snack. Focus instead on getting a much more manageable 30 minutes of exercise, five times per week.
The problem is that we consume most of our protein at dinner time when we should be eating the most protein during breakfast to start off our day. The study included a control group, a group of subjects who ate three high-protein meals each day, and a third group who ate high-protein meals six times a day. But it's still completely possible to enjoy yourself at the party, without going overboard on empty calories. Often we consume our meals quickly without thinking about them, enjoying them or even really tasting them. After years of being confined to a wheelchair due to her weight, she was able to reclaim her life. The review found that consuming dairy products was related to increased insulin production, a healthier body weight and decreased body fat. The carbohydrate is partly from lactose (milk sugar), which is digested differently than sucrose.
Here are some of the best (and worst) gift ideas for your loved ones working towards a healthier lifestyle. These include irregular sleep patterns and unhealthful diets in addition to extended periods of inactivity.
A study in an obesity clinic examined the relationship between knowledge of appropriate foods and beverages needed for weight loss and the actual diet of patients seeking obesity treatment. The study found that although the patients recognized what an appropriate diet plan included, they did not consume an appropriate diet for weight loss.
Treatment approaches should include tools that help patients implement their nutrition knowledge.

Graphene, the eternally stretching two-dimensional form of carbon, is one of the most promising synthetic materials in existence, but is still costly to produce to specification. New research released in the PNAS shows a simple and cheap way to produce the stuff, and could herald a graphene revolution.
The technique involves taking graphite and frozen carbon dioxide, and putting them into a ball miller — a rotating chamber filled with stainless steel balls. After two days of tumbling, the graphite forms flakes with open, carboxylated edges. These flakes are soluble in protic and polar aprotic solvents, and once dispersed, the flakes form graphene nanosheets of five or fewer layers.
Those carboxylated edges are what make this really cool — imagine them like Lego joins: they allow the graphene flakes to lock together. The nanosheets can be compressed into any shape, and then baked at 900°C, which closes the edges and forms a cohesive bond. Pellets of graphene made this way were 688 times better at conducting electricity than pellets made of graphene formed by the acid oxidation of graphite. To make large sheets of graphene, the researchers made a series of 3.5x5cm wafer, which were laid down and baked together, their edges joining.
By using different ingredients and solvents, "you can customize the edges for different applications," researcher Jong-Beom Baek said. "You can customize for electronics, supercapacitors, metal-free catalysts to replace platinum in fuel cells. You can customize the edges to assemble in two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures."

In our last issue, we put the spotlight on 25 young event professionals worth watching. Those under age 31 on our list weren't even born when Special Events made its debut in 1982. Three years after the magazine came on the scene, The Special Event show followed.
Though to the newbies in our profession the magazine and the show have been around forever, it's important to remember that both were once brave, exciting and slightly crazy ideas from Tim and Denise Novoselski, our founders.
Special Events started as a little quarterly supplement just for party rental operators in a much bigger tool rental magazine. But Tim and Denise saw something more in this segment. They saw how the rental companies and caterers and decor experts weren't just a mishmash of vendors. Instead, they saw an emerging profession: special events.
When Special Events celebrated its 20th anniversary, in 2002, Tim shared his trepidation with me about the first Special Event, at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego.
"We had committed to all these rooms, we had all these hors d'oeuvre, and we weren't really sure who would come," he said. "We stepped outside for a drink and I thought for a moment that I'd blown it, but we'd tried and we would have a hell of a party that night. Then, within 10 minutes, people started filing in, wave after wave of people. I thought, 'My God, they came!'"
In the beginning, not everyone in our industry saw the future that Tim saw.
"I heard, 'Tim, this will never work — there are too many different components. This industry is too darn small — you're just wasting your time,'" Tim told me back in 2002.
But they were wrong and Tim was right.
To this day, people in our business come up to me and thank me for Special Events. They tell me that when they started out, their parents and relatives and friends told them they were nuts—no one could make a living in special events. But Special Events magazine and The Special Event gave them validation that they'd make the right career decision in pursuing their passion. "Thank you," they tell me. "You guys got it!"
I say "thank you" back, but I deserve zero credit for the magazine and the show. All that credit goes to Tim and Denise.
Tim died last week at age 62, far too young and far too full of ideas and plans and plans for the future.
The Special Event 2014 will be here soon, and again, people will be thankful for a show and magazine and a website dedicated to this amazing profession.
For all this--thank you, Tim.

In a recent parent-teacher conference, maybe the teacher expressed concern that your child could have a problem with certain speech or language skills. Or perhaps while talking to your child, you noticed an occasional stutter.
Could your child have a problem? And if so, what should you do?
It's wise to intervene quickly. An evaluation by a certified speech-language pathologist can help find out if your child is having problems. Speech-language therapy is the treatment for most kids with speech and/or language disorders.
A speech disorder refers to a problem with the actual production of sounds. A language disorder refers to a problem understanding or putting words together to communicate ideas.
Speech disorders include:
Language disorders can be either receptive or expressive:
Dysphagia/oral feeding disorders are disorders in the way someone eats or drinks, including problems with chewing, swallowing, coughing, gagging, and refusing foods.
Speech-language pathologists (SLPs), often informally known as speech therapists, are professionals educated in the study of human communication, its development, and its disorders. They hold at least a master's degree and state certification/licensure in the field, and a certificate of clinical competency from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
SLPs assess speech, language, cognitive-communication, and oral/feeding/swallowing skills to identify types of communication problems (articulation; fluency; voice; receptive and expressive language disorders, etc.) and the best way to treat them.
In speech-language therapy, an SLP will work with a child one-on-one, in a small group, or directly in a classroom to overcome difficulties involved with a specific disorder.
Therapists use a variety of strategies, including:
Kids might need speech-language therapy for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to:
Therapy should begin as soon as possible. Children enrolled in therapy early (before they're 5 years old) tend to have better outcomes than those who begin therapy later.
This does not mean that older kids can't make progress in therapy; they may progress at a slower rate because they often have learned patterns that need to be changed.
It's important to make sure that the speech-language therapist is certified by ASHA. That certification means the SLP has at least a master's degree in the field and has passed a national examination and successfully completed an ASHA-accredited supervised clinical fellowship.
Sometimes, speech assistants (who usually have a 2-year associate's or 4-year bachelor's degree) may assist with speech-language services under the supervision of ASHA-certified SLPs. Your child's SLP should be licensed in your state and have experience working with kids and your child's specific disorder.
You might find a specialist by asking your child's doctor or teacher for a referral or by checking local directories online or in your telephone book. State associations for speech-language pathology and audiology also maintain listings of licensed and certified therapists.
Speech-language experts agree that parental involvement is crucial to the success of a child's progress in speech or language therapy.
Parents are an extremely important part of their child's therapy program and help determine whether it is a success. Kids who complete the program quickest and with the longest-lasting results are those whose parents have been involved.
Ask the therapist for suggestions on how you can help your child. For instance, it's important to help your child do the at-home stimulation activities that the SLP suggests to ensure continued progress and carry-over of newly learned skills.
The process of overcoming a speech or language disorder can take some time and effort, so it's important that all family members be patient and understanding with the child.

Executive summary: The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) is charged with the management of fisheries for tuna and tuna-like species –including albacore (Thunnus alalunga), bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) and swordfish (Xiphias gladius)– throughout the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Every year ICCAT Contracting Parties meet to discuss the rules governing these fisheries, such as quotas, time and area closures and other technical measures, limits on fishing capacity and effort, or trade sanctions. This report exposes the weakness of current regulations governing tuna fisheries and the widespread occurrence of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities in the ICCAT Convention Area. Building on work conducted by Greenpeace over the past several years, it provides numerous examples of such IUU activities, including those which Greenpeace has observed directly.

The IUCN European Union Representative Office and the IUCN Invasive Species Specialist Group are organizing a conference to discuss the challenges related to invasive alien species in Europe's urban areas. The event is to take place at IUCN Headquarters in Switzerland on 5 September 2013.
Local and regional authorities can play a key role in helping address the risks associated with biological invasions and can contribute to raising awareness among decision-makers and citizens.
The conference will bring together European, national and local governmental representatives as well as experts and NGOs to exchange knowledge and best practices on solutions to reduce the impacts of invasive species in urban areas.
It will serve as a forum for competent authorities in Europe to be better informed about invasive alien species and the current state of the art of scientific knowledge and expertise. Examples of local action in urban areas will be presented to foster exchange and mutual learning in Europe.
The event is organized with the financial support from the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt and the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment.
For registration or further questions, please contact: Chantal van Ham, IUCN EU Representative Office Brussels, tel. +32(0) 2 739 0312 or e-mail: email@example.com.

Her employer, an insurance agency, advised her that they were made aware that she had a concealed weapon or firearm license and she kept a firearm locked in her vehicle for self-protection. This was unacceptable to her employer and she was sent home. She was told that she could only return to work if she would write and sign a pledge that she would never again have a firearm locked in her vehicle at any time she was at the office or away from the office on company business.

Denver gang murder witness shot in fake drug deal
Darryl "OG" Givens was in a desperate situation.
Givens had testified against the leader of a Denver street gang in a murder case. The day he testified, in January 1996, Darryl ran from the Denver courthouse as a Denver Post photographer tried to take his picture.
This wasn't the kind of fame he wanted. You could get murdered for that kind of publicity.
Givens had long been a member of the infamous Tre Tre Crips' Rollin' 30 gang. Members of the gang were later convicted of murdering former Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams following a downtown Denver New Year's Eve party in 2007.
Givens' nickname – "OG" – signified "original gangster." The man he had testified against, Orlando Domena, and thereby helped put away in prison on a life term, had been a gang shot caller, but also a longtime friend.
Tre Tre Crips members had attended Orlando Domena's trial and were in the court watching Givens while he testified. They threatened his life numerous times afterwards.
Nine months after the testimony he was trying to make amends with the gang that brought him riches from the illegal drug trade.
As a token of good faith, he offered to give thousands of dollars in illegal street drugs to two Tre Tre Crips gang members including Orlando Domena's brother, Antonio "Street" Domena, to cement an ongoing drug arrangement.
According to an affidavit by Denver cold case homicide detectives, Antonio Domena and Sheldon "Scrap" Long, 42, agreed to meet with Givens. But it was only a ploy to get him where they wanted him, according to court records.
On the day before Halloween in 1996, Givens was gunned down in an apparent drug deal gone bad. He was shot several times in the head and dumped out of his own car. He had $4,000 in crack cocaine still in his pocket. It wasn't drugs the Tre Tre Crips had been after but revenge, police contend.
What follows is an account of what happened based in part on the recollection of Alice Givens, OG's mother, and Denver district court records following the arrest in October 2014 of Scrap and Street on first degree murder charges.
Police had long believed they knew who killed Givens but it took this long to solidify a case against the murder suspects.
Alice Givens recalled how things used to be between her son, Darryl, and one of his friends, Orlando Domena.

Mask Project Gala sizzles
The fashion show: People will be talking about it for a long time, that's for sure.
I mean, when's the last time a bunch of gala-goers saw a passle of models, wearing sexy lingerie ride a glass elevator from the top story of the Cherry Creek Shopping Center to the promenade level, where they shared the runway with hunky firemen from the Colorado Firefighter Calendar wearing Lone Ranger-style tie-on masks?
Uh, that would be never.
The 2010 Mask Project Gala certainly pushed the envelope, and in the end it added a spark that's missing from a lot of events. There's bound to be a few who didn't care for the parade of lacy underpinnings and bare chests (the firemen, not the models), but such is life. In the end, it has everyone talking and that's a good thing because when it's time to start selling tickets for 2012 (the Mask Project happens every two years) folks are going to want to come back to see what possibly could top it.
Interior designer Mickey Ackerman first encountered The Mask Project in Israel, and quickly decided it would be the perfect fundraiser for The Denver Hospice.

National Research Council Releases Report Praising EPA's IRIS Program Enhancements
Release Date: 05/06/2014
Contact Information: Cathy Milbourn (News Media Only) firstname.lastname@example.com 202-564-7849 202-564-4355
WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) actions to improve its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) program, which provides information on the health effects of environmental contaminants, were applauded in a report by the National Academies' National Research Council (NRC).
"I'm proud of the hard work our scientists have put into improving our IRIS program, and encouraged to see their efforts result in such tremendous progress which translates to greater transparency and improved efficiency to the benefit of the American public," said Lek Kadeli, acting assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Research and Development. "EPA is grateful to the Academies for their review, their recognition of the progress that's been made, and for their recommendations that will help us make IRIS a much more effective and efficient program."
The NRC announced that the program has moved forward steadily in planning for and implementing changes in each element of the IRIS assessment process. The report commends EPA for its substantive new approaches, continued commitment to improving the process, and successes to date. While recognizing the IRIS program is still implementing changes, the NRC notes in its report that, "overall, the committee expects that EPA will complete its planned revisions in a timely way and that the revisions will transform the IRIS program."
EPA's IRIS program provides health assessments of chemicals to which the public may be exposed from releases to air, water, and land and, additionally, through the use and disposal of chemicals. IRIS assessments inform EPA rulemakings, and the release of final IRIS assessments is consistent with EPA's ongoing efforts to improve the health of Americans and protect the environment.
EPA has been strengthening IRIS for several years and in 2013 announced broad changes through a series of enhancements designed to help the Agency produce more high quality assessments in a timely and transparent manner. A key feature of the enhancements is increased stakeholder engagement throughout the assessment development process, which EPA is achieving by holding bimonthly public science meetings to discuss specific assessments.
In the past few years, EPA has made many changes to the IRIS program. Assessments are now written using a streamlined document structure that includes:
A preamble describing how EPA applies guidance, methods, and criteria to develop assessments;
An executive summary highlighting major assessment conclusions;
A detailed literature search strategy and study evaluation process used to develop the assessment; and
Distinct sections on hazard identification and dose-response analysis.
The NRC notes that the IRIS program has made substantial progress in a short time, and the recommendations in their most recent report should be seen as building further on the progress that EPA has already made. EPA plans to convene a workshop later this year to address some of the NRC's recommendations.

Rockies witness Nicasio take next step
Emergence of hurler, who's overcome plenty of adversity, would be big boost in 2014
DENVER -- Amid all the hoopla of the Rockies' home opener against the D-backs at Coors Field on Friday afternoon, Colorado manager Walt Weiss took the cautious approach.
"We have to look at the season in its entirety," Weiss said before the game. "It doesn't mean I won't enjoy what happens, but we put the club together for the long haul, and this is just one of 162 games."
This one, however, wasn't "just one." It has the potential of being a very special one.
And the hope that came out of the Rockies' 12-2 victory against Arizona went way past Charlie Blackmon's six hits, equaling a franchise record that Andres Galarraga set on July 3, 1995.
If what happened is put into the context of what it could mean over the course of 162 games, then it was Juan Nicasio who stepped to center stage. The pitcher not only gave the Rockies that strong starting effort they had not seen in losing three of four at Miami to open the season, but he gave an indication that the wait for his emergence as a solid member of a big league rotation is ending.
"I have been in his corner since Day 1," said pitching coach Jim Wright. "I'm so proud of what he accomplished."
Nicasio worked seven innings for just the fifth time since the 2011 season, the lone blemish a Mark Trumbo home run in the fifth, which cut the Rockies' lead to 6-1. Nicasio walked only one batter, and struck out six.
"I wasn't nervous," he said. "I felt great. I felt comfortable. I could throw my pitches down in the zone, attack the hitter down in the zone."
More than that, he did it with a three-pitch mix, a far cry from the pitcher who a year ago "showed up with a half-pitch, a fastball that he could not command. Now he's showing us three Major League pitches," Wright said.
Nicasio has found the command of that fastball. He has mastered a slider that Wright calls "a plus big league pitch." And he showed "an average" split-fingered changeup, "that he used to get three outs," Wright added.
Finally. A feel-good moment for the Rockies' rotation, which opened the season with two projected starters, Jhoulys Chacin and Tyler Chatwood, on the disabled list, and then saw the four starters who worked in Miami combine to pitch only 20 2/3 innings and give up 16 runs.
To be honest, Weiss had a feeling about Nicasio, which is why he decided to hold him back for the home opener, even if it was the fifth game of the season.
"I thought it was a good fit for Juan," said Weiss. "He has a recent history in this park, and I thought it would be comfortable for him in the opener, as opposed to throwing a new guy out there with all the hoopla."
Nicasio agreed.
"I felt comfortable," he said. "It's my house. It's my home here in Denver. I feel comfortable pitching here."
Besides, what's a little hoopla for Nicasio? This is a guy who took a line drive off his forehead that resulted in a fractured neck in 2011, and he was back on the mound in 2012, until he twisted his knee and had to undergo surgery, and then battled his way through 31 starts a year ago despite not having a complete arsenal of pitches.
That is why Wright is so proud of what he watched Nicasio do against the D-backs, who had gotten to him for 17 runs in only 19 innings in the five previous starts he made against Arizona.
"He went out and pitched a full season last year," said Wright. "He went through the ups and downs of a starting pitcher and dealt with the grind of the season. He struggled to execute, but he put in his time during the winter, and it's paying off know.
"His legs are stronger. He couldn't hold his finish and drop because of that knee last year. He committed himself to taking care of that in the winter. He knew he could be better than that."
And he showed anybody who cared to watch on Friday that he is better than that.

Marysville metal caster invests $230,000 in hazardous waste reduction as part of EPA settlement
Release Date: 08/25/2014
Contact Information: Hanady Kader, EPA Public Affairs, 206-553-0454, email@example.com
Agreement also includes $18,000 civil penalty for improper storage, handling and record-keeping
(Seattle–Aug. 25, 2014) SeaCast, Inc., a metal casting facility in Marysville, Washington, has agreed to pay The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency a penalty of $18,000 to settle alleged hazardous waste violations at the company, which is located within the boundaries of the Tulalip Indian reservation.
As part of the EPA settlement, SeaCast will invest at least $230,000 to install and operate a production process "water blast" system that is expected to reduce in the amount of hazardous waste generated at the facility by 40 percent. SeaCast also agreed to implement procedures to prevent future violations of hazardous waste management requirements.
According to Scott Downey, Manager of EPA's hazardous waste inspection unit in Seattle, strict compliance with federal hazardous waste storage and management requirements protects people and the environment. "SeaCast has found a way to modify its production process and reduce its reliance on caustic cleaning solutions as a part of this settlement," said Downey. "One of the central goals of the EPA's hazardous waste program is to conserve resources and minimize the generation of hazardous wastes, so this project fits nicely."
EPA alleged that SeaCast:
- Failed to maintain records of its hazardous waste determinations.
- Stored hazardous wastes at the facility without obtaining a permit or complying with conditions applicable to hazardous waste generators.
- Stored hazardous waste on site for longer than 90 days, failed to maintain adequate aisle space between containers of hazardous waste, and failed to conduct required weekly inspections of hazardous waste storage areas. The company also failed to properly manage its universal waste lamps.

jcnnghm necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 136 diseños de 58 diseñadores freelance.
Bulletproof Tiger, LLC
Bulletproof Tiger is a company that produces websites that detail the nightlife that exists in select cities. Currently, we have websites for Ocean City MD, Baltimore MD, Annapolis MD, and Southern California (specifically the Newport Beach area).
The websites we currently have are available at the addresses below:
If you take a look at the sites, that should give you a pretty good idea about the type of product we produce, and what kind of company we are. We also have an iPhone application called Barhopolis, that is available from our websites and on the iTunes store. The app is pretty basic right now, and consists entirely of up-to-date happy hour/bar specials in a convenient format.
We are targeting two separate but similar audiences. Bar owners and managers, as well as liquor/beer company management. In general, the majority seem to be Male, between 27 and 55, although there are plenty of females as well in roughly the same demographic, perhaps skewing a touch younger. Almost everyone we are targeting is or was a drinker, and almost all have a good sense of humor.
We didn't pick the name Bulletproof Tiger because we were trying to be serious. We're looking for something edgy and exciting. When we tell people to make checks out to Bulletproof Tiger, they usually laugh and call us idiots, or ask if we're serious. But they always remember.
I'd like to see something tiger related in the logo. We're open to basically any color scheme, although something that can be screen printed and embroidered would be helpful.
I will need layered PSDs and/or AI files when the contest is complete.
Please do be creative with the designs.

There's been a lot of confusion with the motto of Godfather's clock repair, "Have us clean your clock or we'll clean your clock!"
The website is Fixed??
I was able to repair the website so that I can now update comics again. It looks like things are back to normal. Some things are a little buggy on my end but nothing to worry about. I'm still considering the idea of starting a new comic but nothing is for sure yet. I'm definitely going to continue updating The Daily Doodle for a while longer until I decide on what I'm going to do for sure. Right now I don't have any new comics ready, but I'm going to get back into the swing of things by next week, possibly the middle of this week depending on how busy I am.Posted 09:56
Mon 10 November
The Fate of The Daily Doodle
There's a chance, that because I am not that good at Web coding and the internet is evolving at a rapid rate, that The Daily Doodle may be on a long hiatus. My hosting service is doing a mandatory PHP upgrade on November 3rd. Last time they upgraded, the content management system that I'm using wouldn't let me upload new comics. This was fixed by going back to an old version of PHP. You follow so far? Yeah me neither. Anyway, the developer behind this "easy to use" content management system has disappeared from the internet and doesn't even allow new posts in their forum. Long story short, once this upgrade takes effect I probably won't be able to add new comics to the website and I'm going to have to make the switch to something more widely used like Wordpress. I have over 700 comics on here so it might take me a while to switch it all over if I decide to do that. I'm actually toying with the idea of starting a whole new comic that's less doodley and more finished, with color and all of that. Nothing is for sure yet, other than the whole PHP upgrade thing.
Also, I might not be able to add news posts either, so if you don't already, you can get the lowdown on my comics via Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr.

It is very essential to be aware of the different parts of a bicycle for it becomes easier to repair bicycles. Parts that are used the most are the nuts and bolts. In order to repair any part of a bicycle one should first have a repair stand in Ypsilanti. One should carry a bicycle repair kit while going for a ride faraway. The minimum tools that should be carried along are spare tube (inner), mini pump, adjustable wrench, Swiss knife and hex keys. One of the very common things to repair in a bicycle is to stop the noise which is generated while cycling. This is a big challenge and it's hard to find out the reason behind. The reasons might be due to dragging brake pads, tire seating, loose or broken spokes, hub problem, loose crank arm, dry or damaged bottom bracket bearings, loose chain-wheel bolts, dry pivots, sticky freewheel, etc.

UH Board of Regents approves long-range development plan for UH West O'ahuUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Mia Noguchi, (808) 956-9095
External Affairs & University Relations
HONOLULU — At its monthly meeting held today at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, the UH Board of Regents approved the long-range development plan for the University of Hawaiʻi-
West Oʻahu (UHWO).
"We are pleased that the BOR approved our long-range development plan today," said Gene Awakuni, chancellor of UH West Oʻahu. "This keeps the project moving forward while we work toward securing the funding required to make the campus a reality, especially for those in the growing areas of Leeward and Central Oʻahu." UH West Oʻahu plans to complete phase I of its campus in 2009.
The BOR also approved the appointment of Anthony Schinckel and Herring Kalua to the Mauna Kea Management Board (MKMB). The community-based board consists of seven members representing seven district constituencies with a stake in the management of Mauna Kea. Schinckel and Kalua are replacing outgoing board members who represent astronomy and Native Hawaiians.
Schinckel is the director of operations for the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Submillimeter Array and has over 18 years of astronomy-related experience on Mauna Kea. He also served as Technical Director and Telescope Engineer for the Caltech's Mauna Kea Submillimeter Observatory.
Kalua has worked for over 35 years for the state Department of Transportation and is currently supervisor for Construction and Maintenance on the Island of Hawaiʻi. He is involved in many community organizations including the Governor's advisory board on Veterans' services, East Hawaiʻi Kamehameha School's Advisory Committee, Hawaiian Homes Land Commission, and others. Kalua was also on the advisory committee during the development of the 2000 Mauna Kea Master Plan which provides him with insight on some of the MKMB management issues.
In other Board action, the regents approved the establishment of a College of Social Sciences Public Policy Center at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and a graduate certificate in public policy.
The approval paves the way for the Center to develop an exemplary program in public policy to enhance the quality of life in the community. The center will provide education in public policy; conduct policy research on issues of significance to Hawaiʻi, Asia and the Pacific region; and facilitate and support civic engagement through university-community based dialog and other community forums.
The Regents also granted approval for the establishment of a new Associate in Science Early Childhood Education Program at Honolulu Community College which will provide options for those seeking to transfer to a four-year baccalaureate program. The new program will fully articulate to Early Childhood Education Concentration in the Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences at the University of Hawaiʻi-West Oʻahu campus that was approved by the Regents in January of 2006.
In board elections, Kitty Lagareta was re-elected as the BOR Chairperson and Ronald Migita was newly elected as Vice Chairperson for the 2006-2007 year. Migita, a graduate of the University of Hawaiʻi, joined the BOR in 2005. He is chairman of the board for Central Pacific Bank and replaces Alvin Tanaka as Vice Chairperson for the Board.
In personnel action, Stephen Sylvester was appointed Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at UH West Oʻahu. Sylvester is currently dean of the School of Arts and Sciences and Professor of History at Peru State College (PSC). He is a seasoned manager and has broad expertise in key areas of need for UHWO, including distance education, program review, and assessment. Leon Richards was also reappointed as interim chancellor of Kapiʻolani Community College.

Now, as a potential candidate you make an announcement like that on Saturday in order to get coverage in the Sunday papers. Especially the BIG regional papers like the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Nashville's Tennessean, Johnson City Press and the one owned by E.W. Scripps in Knoxville. You know the one where Jack McElroy is Editor.
Well it worked everywhere except the E.W. Scripps one in Knoxville, the one where Jack McElroy is Editor. Where and When did it appear in the Knoxville paper? It happened on Monday in the Georgiana Vines column. Not only is Monday one of the least read papers of the week, but to place it in the least read column of the paper is a slap in the face to our state's Lt. Governor.
Why oh why, Jack McElroy would you do this? Is it because you have a bias for the candidacy of the Knoxville Mayor? Is it because a certain business unit in Knoxville buys more of your papers on Friday then you typically print on any of the other 6 days a week?
Why, Jack McElroy do you have a bias?

SYMPOSIUM 2006: Undergraduate research projects on display this week
Sessions showcase student projects from five campusesUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Manure as fertilizer for corn crops — does it make any difference whether the waste comes from a rhinoceros, a zebra or a chicken? What about a really timely topic: "Suburban swimming — bacteria levels in recreational waters of Kailua."
These are among the subjects of undergraduate research that will be on display at SYMPOSIUM 2006 at UH Manoa this weekend.
This annual year-ending fair has attracted more students than ever before from five campuses in the University of Hawaiʻi system. Projects will be on display at a "poster session" Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, April 28-29, at the East-West Center's Keoni Auditorium.
"What started as a showcase for UH Manoa honors students has grown to include undergraduate work from several campuses," said director Jim Caron. "This year, 75 students from Manoa, UH Hilo, and Maui, Windward and Kapiʻolani community colleges will participate — representing more than two dozen different disciplines."
The event highlights the integrated research and creative endeavors of undergraduates at UH, providing students with a professional format for displaying their work. For many students, the event is a capstone experience. Participants either exhibit a poster or make an oral presentation. Students in the Manoa Undergraduate Honors Program present in both formats. Prizes are awarded for both types of presentation.
A luncheon for symposium participants on Saturday concludes the event and this year will feature a talk by Ricardo Trimillos, Professor and Interim Dean, School of Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific Studies. Symposium 2006 will also feature students in the Manoa Dance Ensemble as post luncheon entertainment.
Sponsors include:
Manoa Undergraduate Honors, Space Grant Program, Marine Option Program, Marine Biology Program, Biology Program, College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, Global Environmental Science Program, and the English Department, along with the support of the Offices of the Manoa Chancellor, the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, and the Vice Chancellor for Research.
Program schedule:
Friday, April 28 — 2:30-4:30 p.m. -
Public viewing and judging of poster displays
Saturday, April 29 — 8:30 a.m. — Noon -
Oral presentations and poster displays

Michael with my great-grandmother, you remember her iron skillet don't you?
Happy New Year!
I'm so glad to be back to a weekly menu plan! As Mary Frances said in her menu plan last week, it's amazing how having a meal plan can help you to feel organized! Even if you don't make everything you have planned, you have all the groceries ready and necessary for all of your meals! It's incredibly convenient and helpful!!
This is the first week of our Sugar Free January. We hope you have a wonderful week! We'll have some special features on the blog later this week along with a recipe for oyster stew and a delicious (sugar free) walnut cheesecake!
The ingredient of the week in the gluten-free menu swap is parsnips, a winter vegetable similar to a carrot! We'll be having this on Friday night in a hearty beef stew! Check out the cute new layout of Natalie's great blog along with other gluten-free menus this week!!!
Mary Frances' Black Bean Enchiladas
Mexican Brown Rice
Fruit Salad
Roasted Chicken (my favorite!!)
Homemade Caesar Salad
Baked Sweet Potatoes
Carrie's Favorite Homemade Oyster Stew
with Crispy Cheddar Crackers
(Michael will be eating a frozen pizza... party pooper!)
Natalie's Thai Chicken Wraps (will be using agave nectar in the peanut sauce instead of sugar!)
Mandarin Orange Salad
Oven Beef Stew with Carrots, Parsnips, and Celery
Served Over Brown Rice Noodles
Breakfasts and Baked Goodies
Leftover GF Blueberry Muffins
GF Cornbread (leaving out the sugar)
Baked Oatmeal (using agave nectar and applesauce instead of brown sugar)
GF (Sugar Free) Walnut Cheesecake (to take to a friend's house on Friday night!)
I'm sharing this excellent quiche recipe with you today because I am absolutely in love with it! It's simple, easy, cheesy, makes it's own crust and is so flavorful. I love Mexican and Hispanic foods, and this was a way to incorporate that flavor in a simple quiche. I based this recipe off the a similar recipe posted by Abby, one of my favorite fellow NC bloggers! I made this on Saturday night and Michael gave it 3 1/2 stars out of 5... I think he wanted actual meat in it! I enjoyed it with crumbed tofu and gave it 4 1/2 starts out of 5!
From the original recipe, I halved the amount of cheese (too much cholesterol) and used crumbled tofu in place of the ricotta cheese called for. I also added pimientos, which I love and they add great color! I agree with Michael that crumbled bacon or sausage would also be fantastic in this quiche. (But I loved it meat-free too!)
I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I did!
Chiles Rellenos Quiche
- 2 (4 oz.) cans diced green chiles, drained
- 2 Tbsp diced pimiento peppers
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cups milk (I used reconstituted dry milk)
- 4 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1 cup extra firm tofu crumbled (about 1/2 - 3/4 a standard cube)
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 2 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. garlic granules
- salt/pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a large casserole dish or 13"x9" baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl mix milk and eggs together. Whisk in GF baking mix and spices. Add chilis, pimientos, cheese and tofu. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Tavern on the Hill.
I went for The Western with Grilled Chicken ($8.99) and got the garlic fries! I did like that the regular included fries come in plain, garlic or cajun. The garlic had me hoping they would be as good as the ones at Red Robin. I was not disappointed! The sandwich was really good sized and filling – the chicken was a bit dry in spots but it's hard for it not to be on the edges when it comes to grilled chicken. The toppings were good but don't really stand out in my mind. (I've given up cheese for 2011 – so this was my last bit of cheese for quite a while!) The garlic fries were great – and they were STRONG! You have to really like garlic to like them.
Why Should You Go? Overall – we had a great time at Tavern on the Hill. It wasn't busy (I'm sure they were prepping for the BUSY night to come since it was New Years Eve.) The service was great and the food was pretty good for "bar food". If in the area – it's a good standard place to go. It's not fancy or pretentious – it's just good burgers and fries – and hey – that's not a bad thing!

Since the Egyptian protests are all over the news lately, I've figured why not post some of Egytpian Lover's oldschool electro hip-hop tracks. The very first time I've heard an Egyptian Lover's track was back in 1984. A track titled Egypt Egypt on a DJ-mixed electro/hip-hop compilation record, released by StreetSounds, called Electro-5 on side-A — which is also available on this site. The second track I've heard by Egyptian Lover was My House On The Nile on StreetSounds Electro-6, side-B, which is also available on this site. And the third track I've heard by Egyptian Lover was Girls on StreetSounds Electro-7, side-A — again, also available on this site. After being exposed to those three tracks between 1984 and 1985, that was when I've decided to hunt and collect as many Egyptian Lover 12″ singles as I could find on the market. I've bought several of his 12″ singles on vinyl back then from Toronto, London and New York.
The Egyptian Lover is Greg Broussard — born on August 31, 1963. He's an American musician, rapper, vocalist, producer and DJ from Los Angeles. Greg Broussard was one of the first men to pioneer the hip-hop/electro sound from LA. One of his main influences was Man Parrish's track track Hip-Hop Be Bop (Don't Stop) — whom I've also blogged about on this site — so click here to read that article.
With just a Roland TR-808 drum machine among other flagship analog synthesizers and digital samplers, Greg Broussard rocked (and still can rock) the house.
Egyptian Lover – "Egypt, Egypt" (12″ Vinyl)..
Artist: The Egyptian Lover
Title: Egypt, Egypt (12″ Vinyl)
Year: 1984
Label: Egyptian Empire Records

Some iPhone 4S reviewers with early access are doing what anyone surely will once they fire up Siri: ask Apple's hotly anticipated personal assistant a lot of weird things.
And rather than replying with a generic error, Siri can come back with a lot of equally weird and clever responses.
We thought we knew everything you could ask Siri. However, queries such as "What is the meaning of life?" and "Who is your daddy?" produce results other than "I don't understand, weirdo." Siri also looks like it'll come with some fun easter eggs, such as a little tip of the hat to another monotone computerized assistant.

I just made a small update to mPartsRegistry, the mobile interface I wrote to make browsing the Registry of Standard Biological Parts a little easier on smartphones.
This update adds a "Random Part" button – it's mostly just so people who want to play with it without actually knowing a part ID can get some instant gratification. This is in addition to the quiet update I made a few months ago to replace jQTouch with JQuery Mobile, since jQTouch development stagnated for a while and never really properly supported most mobile browsers.

NOPA is surrounded by Golden Gate Park, the University of San Francisco, and the University of California Medical Center. Located in almost the geographical center of the city, NOPA residents have their choice of walking, biking, busing, or driving to work and/or recreational activities. The NOPA neighborhood is city living at its best.
Just like the name implies, North Panhandle is a neighborhood with Falletti Foods at one end, Petrini Plaza in the middle, and Whole Foods at the farthest end, next to Haight Ashbury. The infamous commercial shopping district is only two blocks south of the Panhandle. There's a farmers' market held every Sunday at Grove and Divisadero too.
Pacific Primary Preschool opened in 1974 and is located in the heart of NOPA. Having a preschool within walking distance is definitely a plus for the noticeable baby boom. Adult students will find that San Francisco Community College, located at the corner of Masonic and Hayes, offers a variety of credit and noncredit courses with programs in the daytime and evening. The neighborhood also houses several other public and private schools that serve all age groups.
In the past few years the commercial stretch on Divisadero, at the eastern boarder of the neighborhood, has blossomed with new restaurants and shops. Eateries include local favorites like Bar Crudo, Mojo Bicycle Cafe, Nopalito and Little Star Pizza. The critically acclaimed restaurant NOPA was one of the first upscale restaurants to move to this San Francisco neighborhood. With consistent praise, it's become the ultimate foodie destination for dining.
The Victorian style home is alive and well in NOPA. Homes and condominiums here are generally updated or recently remodeled before stepping onto the market. Homeowners tend to move to NOPA because they plan to live in the neighborhood for an extended period of time. The North of Panhandle Neighborhood Association is an active force within the community, and becoming a member is a great way to get involved and meet your new long-term neighbors. Finally, the weather tends to be less foggy in NOPA than the more western neighborhoods. All-in-all this is a great location and worth looking closely at when considering your options for buying a San Francisco home.

"[Joe Frank] is one of the great, original radio performers. He's created a sound and style for himself - a complete aesthetic that's entirely his own. I first heard him when I was 19 and it changed everything for me. His work demonstrated the intensity and emotion that the medium is capable of; ingenious…fantastic."Ira Glass, This American Life
"A strange, different, wondrously offbeat, frequently hilarious, altogether brilliant piece of work..There's never been anything quite like it...Joe Frank is an audio Fellini."The Los Angeles Times
"The world of Joe Frank is a wildly entertaining surrealistic universe...hilarious, unsettling, zany, powerful, moving and perhaps the most unique, inventive and effective use of radio since Orson Welles convinced much of America there was a War of the Worlds."The L.A. Weekly
"[Joe Frank is] the most imaginative, literate monologist in radio today... If a microphone could capture the nether recesses of the modern psyche, it would sound like Frank's absurd comical excursions: Radio Vertigo."The Village Voice
"You don't have to close your eyes to appreciate Joe Frank's dense audio universe cascading out of your radio. It helps, though, because there are so many layers - of sound, philosophy, of reality-coursing through his dramas... Come to think of it, after awhile, you won't want to close your eyes because in Frank's short stories for the radio, the tension and pathos are as enveloping as they are intriguing... "The Washington Post
"Joe Frank's often bizarre scenarios for the mind are decidedly offbeat radio fare...part surreal satire, part bizarre meditation, part fever dream."Los Angeles Daily News
"Radio's Prince of Darkness Rules the Freeways. [Frank is] alternately dark, bizarre and very funny - but always hard to turn off."The Wall Street Journal
"Joe Frank is an original whose work has helped form some of the most eccentric, dark and interesting parts of public radio's personality. "Terry Gross, Fresh Air
"Joe Frank is a singular voice in radio. What he has done is hypnotic, psychotic, neurotic, sad, terrifying, and some of the funniest stuff I have ever heard anywhere. I can't think of another radio performer who has come close to achieving this kind of alchemy."Charlie Kaufman, filmmaker
"The perfect Joe Frank experience is driving down an unfamiliar highway alone at night. You turn on your radio and are greeted by a lush, resonant voice that lulls you into a seemingly simple tale of love: a man at an airport saying goodbye to his wife over the phone, which abruptly turns into a vision of betrayal, alienation and death - often from obscure disease - all brought about by some profound personal failing, which is redeemed at the last moment by a nearly transcendent moment of joy."Salon

I want to give my tresses a fuller look. Any tips?
A trick that celeb stylist Serge Normant of the John Frieda salon in NYC has used on Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson: After you've finished blow-drying, lift up a large section of hair, then slowly let it go bit by bit while misting with a light-hold hair spray. "This creates lots of air pockets, which give your hair tons of body," says Normant. Aerosols are best since they disperse a continuous fine mist. He uses John Frieda Crystal Clear Shape & Shimmer Hairspray, $4.99.

Height 6-2, Weight 200, B/T: R/R, DOB: 5/27/1988
2009 Redlegs Baseball Prospect Ranking: Not Ranked
In the early rounds of the 2009 draft, the Reds focused on rebuilding the pitching depth in the system. They selected Mike Leake and Brad Boxberger, both of whom were polished college pitchers and came with a lower degree of risk. Given the lack of pitching depth in the system, the philosophy of acquiring lower risk pitching prospects made sense.
Boxberger made his professional debut in the Arizona Fall League after a successful collegiate career for the USC Trojans.
With the 43rd overall pick in the 2009 draft, the Cincinnati Reds selected University of Southern California pitcher Brad Boxberger.
Boxberger was a draft eligible junior who is listed at 6-2 and 200 lbs and both bats right and throws right. He joined Mike Leake to give the Reds a one-two punch of polished college pitching prospects in the first two rounds.
Boxberger certainly has the bloodlines for success, as his father Rod went 12-1 with a 2.00 ERA and earned College World Series MVP award for the 1978 national championship USC team. Brad was drafted out of high school by the Royals in the 20th round of the 2006 draft, but he decided to follow in his father's footsteps by attending USC.
Boxberger jumped right into the starting rotation as a freshman and quickly proved that he belonged. He started 14 games and worked in 90.0 innings posting a 3.20 ERA with a 72/34 K/BB ratio in a tough Pac-10 conference. His performance was so strong that he took over the Friday night starter duties for the Trojans.
His sophomore season didn't go quite as well, as he split time between the rotation and the bullpen. Over 18 total games and 9 starts, Boxberger posted a 6.12 ERA in 50.0 innings with a 52/26 K/BB ratio. He missed roughly 3 weeks due to elbow soreness and ultimately ended the season as the team's closer.
During his junior season, Boxberger showed no lingering effects of his elbow injury. He went back to starting fulltime, making 14 starts and tossing 94.0 innings. He posted a 3.16 ERA with a 99/50 K/BB ratio. His performance was strong enough to earn him All-Pac-10 honors and reestablish his MLB prospect status.
Boxberger made his professional debut in the Arizona Fall League for the Peoria Saguaros. It was far from smooth sailing, as he worked in 12.2 innings and posted a 11.37 ERA. On the less disturbing side, he posted a 13/7 K/BB ratio and a 1.18 GB/FB ratio. His longest outing of the AFL season was 3.0 innings, so he was limited to short outings.
Of course, it's not as bad as it might seem, as the sample size is very small, the pitchers are typically fatigued after a long season of throwing, and the AFL is a notorious hitter's league. So, his performance should be taken with a grain of salt. At the very least, he got his feet wet and has a better understanding of what it takes to succeed at the professional level. Hopefully, he'll be better prepared when the 2010 season gets underway.
Boxberger works with three solid pitches that have plus potential. He throws a 91-93 mph four seam fastball with good movement that touches 94 on occasion, a 78-80 mph curveball, an 82-84 mph slider, and a circle changeup that has good late sink to it. He needs to demonstrate more consistency with his pitches, especially his offspeed offerings. His overall command also needs improvement, as it tends to come and go. But, he has a good feel for pitching, which should help his development. Even so, his stuff may play better in the bullpen where he doesn't have to hold anything back, which could improve his velocity a tick or two. In his short stints in the AFL, his fastball velocity has topped 95+, even reaching up to 97 mph.
On the mound, Boxberger uses fairly conventional mechanics. To start his delivery, he moves his left foot forward and rotates his right foot on the rubber. He then brings his left leg up into his leg kick, which includes significant hip rotation. In fact, his leg kick includes so much hip rotation that he almost points his knee at the second base and shows his back to the hitters. It's not quite that extreme, but it's certainly heading in that direction.
Here's a look at him in action:
He keeps his hands up near his chin until after his leg kick and he breaks his hands. He has a good arm swing and keeps his elbow in good relation to his shoulder. Despite his significant hip rotation, his lower body drive off the mound isn't strong and his stride is rather short, both of which result in him bleeding potential energy from his delivery. In addition, his shorter stride leaves him with a very upright delivery and follow through. Ultimately, his lack of a strong push off the mound prevents him from utilizing his body as effectively as he could in his delivery, which is somewhat surprising because of the significant hip rotation that he uses.
Boxberger isn't very tall, so he doesn't have the advantage of pitching on a downward plane. In addition, he doesn't come completely over the top, but rather utilizes a high three-quarter arm slot with a free-and-easy arm action. In fact, his arm action is so loose that at times it looks like he slings the ball to the plate, which could help explain his inconsistency.
Here is another great look at Boxberger in action during the AFL courtesy of David Pratt on Vimeo:
Bradley Boxberger - Arizona Fall League - 2009 from David Pratt on Vimeo.
Overall, his pitching mechanics are fairly clean and there aren't any significant red flags, but he could do a better job of throwing with his body to minimize stress on the arm. In addition, he has a bit of looseness to his overall delivery that could cause problems with consistency. The fact that he suffered from an elbow injury in college isn't a great sign, but it wasn't serious and he doesn't seem to be suffering from any lingering effects.
Boxberger has the ability and repertoire to work as a starting pitcher, but may ultimately profile better as a high leverage reliever. Still, the Reds will give him every chance to work as a starter, which would be better for his development and give him more value to the organization if he can stick in that role.
For now, Boxberger's polish and varied repertoire earn him the #13 slot on the list.
