About this paleo breakfast porridge: it's easy, it's filling, and it's tasty as hell. Oh yeah, and it's waaaaaay better tasting than regular oatmeal or porridge because the flax meal gives it a warm, nutty flavor.
This recipe is also vegan, gluten-free, and paleo. It makes a great make-ahead, portable breakfast, too. Just prep the dry ingredients in a microwave-safe container and then add the wet ingredients before you leave the house in the morning (or the night before).
2 TBLS Flax Meal
1 TBLS Chia Seeds
1 TBLS Almond Meal
2 TBLS Coconut Flour
2 TBLS Coconut Flakes
2 TBLS Full Fat Coconut Milk (not coconut milk beverage)
1/2 TBLS Vanilla Extract
1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk Beverage
Dash of Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and/or Ginger
Some possible add-ins:
Almond or Nut Butters
Fresh or Dried Fruit
Coconut Oil
Cocoa Powder
Protein Powder
Maple Syrup
Combine all dry ingredients in a microwave-safe container and add wet ingredients. Stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to eat, then microwave for 2 minutes or until heated all the way through. Can also be warmed for a few minutes on a stovetop over med low heat instead of microwaving.
For a more cakey, pudding-like treat, add less almond milk and/or drop in an egg white before you heat it.
Makes one serving.

**If this recipe is too high fat for your current nutritional needs, you can modify it by removing the coconut flakes and coconut milk (which removes about 15g of fat total). That said, with 32g of fat this will keep you full for a lot longer than a light yogurt cup or an apple– do you hear me? And if it doesn't contain enough protein for you, consider adding an egg or two, .5 to 1 scoop of your favorite protein power, or some greek yogurt.

"A Prophet is not popular in the home town. A Doctor does not heal family and friends."
Sounds familiar doesn't it? Can't quite place it though right? Neither can I and I should, since I meditate on its meanings everyday. I know this - and take it from a creature of experience - this is a warning and don't think it comes from The Creator. Do you really think The Creator has time to issue warnings like some cosmic Mr. Chips? No. No of course not. This warning comes from a creature of experience too, one who's bled, and there's the problem. Who wants to be told what to do, especially by someone who gets his ass kicked on the front line because you're hiding in the rear. Better to know, not to speak, and watch those who think they know get their asses kicked instead. He should have stopped to think the bell isn't tolling for him. It's just a bell making noise.
Now if you're really knowledgeable you probably have an inkling I haven't a thought of my own, but who does. Flies never worry about being knowledgeable or popular. Like the rest of my kind, you might say I'm an observer of the human race. I'm well qualified for the job since Flies have been buzzing around Earth much longer than you mere Humans. Try not to be too mystified about my ability to communicate with other Life Forms.Don't waste your time hiring Ph.D.'s to figure this out. Besides isn't it written all things are possible?
Joseph Urso has been writing for many years and lives with his wife in upstate New York. He may be reached via e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Yes yes I had a little help from a friend but that's just natural - if it weren't for our friends where would any of us be now? Neither walking or flying around on our own I can tell you. If you remain surprised or incredulous I'll just assign these shortcomings to your arrogance and love of the letter of the law – both will be your undoing you know.
We are a bit, just a bit, different in that regard. How can you be arrogant when you look like a Fly? And as for the letter of the law I'm a Fly - I'm born with wings. Have you any idea how insignificant the letter of the law is to me - or to the other life forms for that matter. We don't have to wait for freedom to be legislated, and we don't need to fight for it.
In my world the sustenance and quality of Life is = to one's degree of dependence on others, x the ability to help those in need, + the amount of routine guiding daily life, divided by one's capacity to stand on one's own appendages. How else can a million Flies who inhabit a relatively small living space get along? Haven't you folks noticed that interdependency and routine rule the world? Imagine the sun and the moon abandoning their routines and fighting for their independence. Where would you be then hey? Fighting and voting for the freedom to consume? I don't get it. Why bother?
Take a look at ants and rats who consume constantly. Do they vote? Silly human race -- your freedoms will be your undoing too.
I was born into a special caste; I'm a Third Class Prophet Fly. Ok ok have a good laugh. Note bene: only Life is The Judge of one's destiny because only Life has the last word. Yes yes destiny why else are we here just to eat and shit? If that were true what would be the point of anything else? Do you really think this planet is just one huge department store, and its inhabitants a bunch of consumers waiting for a bargain? Why can't your destiny be what you imagine it? Since the cosmos is as much poetry as science it stands to reason your life is too.
I will admit to a new sense of freedom I'm feeling for the first time - self-confession. However I've observed human beings prefer to tell on each other. You even have a name for it: to rat on someone. Typical – blame someone else for your failures. I've never observed another species plunge such depths just to destroy itself. Your capacity for self-destruction parallels the intensity of a starving rat searching for food. I wonder if there's a connection? I'll be the first to admit though your comparable ability to re-create yourselves is equally astonishing. But don't you think it's a case of too little too late?
I bet you're thinking "enough is enough a talking Fly and a Prophet. What a load of crap." Arrogance indeed is a monkey on your backs – you folks should try an Arrogance Anonymous meeting. Allow me to remind you we are the ones who can fly; the act was even named after us. Out of the billions of Flies who buzz around The Earth, only Prophet Flies ever go near Human Beings. Why would The Creator allow Flies to be Prophets?
Simple. You can't arrest, imprison, condemn, and crucify a Fly. We make perfect Prophets. However I don't want to misrepresent our mission. We have no idea what we are doing, where we are going, or what outcomes our actions will instigate in this world. We have no spiritual leader to bless us, no moral code to command us, no sins to tempt us. We move by instinct not by intellect. We have no need for any Faith since all Prophets are fully conscious of The Creator. We have no clock to keep, and no one is keeping score on us. We pay no rent. We have nothing to gain. Enough of my opinions every oracle has one. I'm just here to tell you about my father.
Like every other son, my flight with my father was turbulent at times. Now that he has passed on, strange has this may sound, I can see him much more
clearly. Father was one of our most famous Prophets blessed and burdened with abilities others don't know they have. That's really the only difference between a Prophet and everyone else - consciousness. Oh, and a big pair of testes. The conventional opposition to the reigning religious and political authorities is a burden only your Prophets have to bear. If a Fly Prophet has a problem with a president or a pope, we just Fly over their heads, drop off a little gift, and buzz about on our business.
Within our own respective worlds, all Prophets share the same character traits. Read your own holy books and you'll see Prophets come from the same parents so to speak. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why their followers are still fighting over who's #1. Family feuds what can we do? I've had my share of fights with my father; you sons out there know what I'm saying. We can't wait to get out from under their wings, then one day we wish their wings were still wrapped around us. Well it's the burden all Life Forms have to face – to fly, walk, crawl, or swim all on our own.
Since I've already had the chance to buzz about human beings, initially I was surprised to discover the similarities between us. For instance watching swarms of people buzzing about city sidewalks ignoring the scent of the roses and
preferring the smell of a lot of shit. We both eat, work, procreate, sleep and will one day expire too. However I was shocked to discover you folks haven't the capacity to resurrect your dead carcasses like we do.
Think I'm pulling your wing?
You can prove it for yourself. I'll even give you The Recipe for Resurrection:
1.) Being quick about it snatch a Fly with a cupped hand
2.) Submerge the Fly in a glass of water until unbuzzable, then lay Fly on a dry napkin or towel
3.) Blow the Fly off with your breath then shower Fly with salt
4.) Be patient (Patience isn't a virtue but a necessity in the natural world. So is resurrection for that matter; flowers do it every spring.)
5.) If you're patient long enough you will see the Fly stir and buzz away
Do Humans have any such verifiable miracles posted on their resumes?
My Father was the first Prophet Fly in our family. Never settling for a pile of dung out of life, he warned me never to accept just being one of The Swarm spending my days buzzing about the wasteland. As his oldest offspring one day soon I will buzz in the shadow of his wings. I'm only. . .let me calculate. . . . not quite 30 human years old. Maybe when my mission begins I will buzz around your head. What a Prophet my Father was. Right before he expired he told me about his last mission. It's the stuff of legend now.
Oh the countless nights a Prophet waits for that moment to motivate humans and make his mark on the world. I bet you thought Flies live only as long as it takes a human hand to swat one of us down. Most Flies - calculated in Fly time - live longer than the average human being. Don't be too surprised since time is a matter of perspective, and the weak and flexible always outlive the strong and stiff. Clocks clocks clocks what is it with your clocks and cars? Are you trying to control the passage of a day into a night or outrun Time just to arrive at your death sooner than later? Have you ever stopped to consider maybe the day doesn't really ever end? As the old saying goes "Who's to say 24 hours in a day?" You? Ha! Anyway, on Father's last buzzabout he was 152 years old. His wings were still strong and his vision clear. He took his leave during a late summer rainstorm guided only by his inner light.
All Prophet Flies do their work at night. The Third Class Prophet Flies you see during the day are The Voices in The Wilderness. We scout about your slums, proper domiciles, and posh palaces. Do you want to know what it's like for a Fly to buzz through a rainstorm? Each single drop is visually multiplied into thousands of missiles shouting down from the sky. Most are pelted to the ground
with little chance for a resurrection. Well that's the way it goes one in one out. Life is a daily risk, and who knows what it is that determines who's left to buzz about tomorrow morning. Besides why worry about it? I know what you're thinking but suspend it and allow me to disillusion you. After all I do come from a line of Prophets.
Here goes – those rain drops aren't sent by The Creator with our names on them. Come on now do you really believe The Creator keeps that sort of Time? Do try accepting Fate -- untouched, unreliable, unorthodox Fate. Look at it this way without Fate guiding your path you might as well sell your soul to some moral code administered by who knows who, and forget about making your own mistakes. Have you ever considered there's only one thing worse than making mistakes while trying to make your mark on this world? How about trying to make your mark and repeating someone else's mistakes. But what do I know I'm just a Fly. Don't listen to me just spend your days kicking back, consuming, and eating someone else's carcass.
Since I'm on a prophetic roll so to speak allow me to continue. The stress and malaise that can cripple a human body and soul can also paralyze your cities. The
tips of a Prophet Fly's wings act as sensors to detect the emotional energy emitted
from millions of humans stuffed into concrete quarters. The unnaturalness of this type of existence - everyone clothed, cranky, crammed, and competing - is bound to lead a civilization into physical despair and spiritual ignorance. Take it from a Fly folks -- Caveat Humanus.
On that fateful night Father entered such a City as shafts of mechanical lighting shooting up from machines placed on rooftops illuminated the night sky. The City was welcoming Father, preparing his way, leading him through the darkness to his destiny. As he buzzed about he felt at home; the people seemed more like Flies than human beings. Many wore the same dark uniforms, the rhythm of life was orderly, and most of the people greeted each other with outstretched right winged salutes. Then he buzzed down a street called. . .let's see have to translate the name. . .White Flower that's it.
Tall, plain, brick faced buildings, some with windows opened, flanked a park with a pond. Choosing an opened window at random Father buzzed inside. A group of young males and females sat in a circle on a few chairs in a sparsely furnished apartment. Their conversation was hotter than the night air; Father wasn't the only one on a mission that night.
"You are a Fool. We cannot resist The Push of The People."
My Father landed in the Speaker's hair scouting out the territory. This man huffed, puffed, and the currents of air from his useless blows pushed Father safely away.
"How can we afford not to resist?"
"Oh yes star-crossed lovers," Father thought to himself. Here's a man who asks questions instead of dictating answers. Father decided to buzz around his head for awhile while his companion continued..
"They are not our People-"
"But They could be. What you do to The Least-
Father recognized the tune. The language of the spirit never needs a book binding.
"Save The Gospel for Sundays and The Believers. We're living in The Real World. Real people are being arrested, imprisoned, and executed."
Well you have to admit his practical approach is appealing.
"The Real World indeed - the mentally ill, the old and disabled, the political opposition, the sex offenders, and now our neighbors, colleagues, friends, and family. Forcing them to register their personal information with the police,
stigmatizing them, spitting on their humanity, legalizing special punishments, and now murder in the name of The Common Good. Today Them. Tomorrow us. The bells are tolling so loud Tomas I think you must be deaf."
Atta boy. I have to say the first time Father described his response I too could hear bells tolling. One day soon perhaps our carcasses will be thrown in a pit and covered in lime. Not what we look like, not our habits, not our failures nor so-called sins will matter very much, but what we do, what we live for, what we die for will be remembered - even if only by our so-called enemies. We can stand up and fight for Life in the manner open to us, or sit down on our asses in front of our radio sets every night and convince ourselves the price of our compliance and surrender outweighs the sacrifice and the possibilities of our resistance - then start chewing the cud."
He is right you know. If it wasn't for self-sacrifice what would be so special about you folks? Mooing indeed.
"You are asking us to defy The Leader - our democratically elected Leader? Do you know what that means?"
"Yes Tomas I do. You forgot what happened to my parents. Perhaps defy but what are we defying? I am asking you to look into your hearts and answer Tomas' question for yourselves. For me a life worth fighting for is a life well lived. My life means more to me than grazing and shitting in the same field everyday. And your lives?"
So what he was taking it personal. Is he a Man or a Mouse?
You can't get more personal than your parents can you? Not that I have any experience in this matter, but in my opinion anything worth defending and fighting for starts with taking it personal. Based on my observations, it is human passion which defines human character. Oh no not your intellect. Intellect is just a fancy name for calculation, and what makes one calculation any better than another? Is four better than three because it's three more than one? See what I mean. Anyway what a speech. Attracted by the energy of his inner light, Father circumnavigated his head several times. A brightness glowed around his globe perceptible only to a Prophet, its light attractive like the sun but harmless to the eyes. However his Counterpart still played the same dull drum beat.
"Yes our lives. Our lives squashed by those black uniformed fleas that plague our country infecting everyone with their pseudo-religious, nationalistic, fanaticism. Squashed just like I am about to squash this goddamn fly."
Jumping off his chair The Counterpart's arms began chopping at nothing. His cupped hands generated a mini jet stream shooting Father back into the golden aura. A natural reaction. Have you ever observed how fear will do that to you? Fear hoodwinks the humblest and most arrogant of humans into believing their lives are so important that everyone, from a Fly to The Creator, is out to get them. Rubbish of course. It is exactly because our lives are so unimportant at all that all things are possible. Perhaps your species hasn't learnt this lesson yet?
"Tomas please sit down and relax for a few precious minutes."
My Father was able to relax as well - walking up and down our Hero's arms, hovering over his head, trying to discover why his aura was the brightest one spotted in years. What separated him from the uncertainty and fear that smelt like rotting fruit which Father sensed among his companions?
Father's conclusion?
Once you folks stop killing yourselves off playing King of The Hill you might discover human beings - like Flies - are essentially the same. Timing and circumstance account for differences. The Rich Man suffers in comfort, The Poor Man suffers in discomfort. But what do I know? I'm just a Fly.
Oh the memories that rush back. . . reminds me of the poem Mother use to recite at bedtime. Yes poem. You folks think you invented creativity? You try finding food in a pile of shit.
As you buzz your little self to sleep
Pray The Creator your wings to keep.
Fear not The Flesh Monsters They can't disturb your peace,
Sleep will bring its own release.
But when you wake and fly out of the nest
You better expect the next test.
For such is the life of a Fly you see
There are no inalienable guarantees.
Ahhh nostalgia. . . even a Fly's memories are sweet. Isn't the difference between Life and Death one of remembrance? When we pass on what use is memory to us? What God would create an Eternity that's a pantomime of the life his offspring exited? What would be the point? Come now I know you academics have an answer let's hear it.
Father sensed a surge of energy coursing underneath our Hero's skin. Suddenly he stood up in the middle of his companions gathered in a circle around him. His eyes baited the silence suspended over everyone's head. He stood tall, brushed back his hair, stole a glance out the window. Father froze, fine tuned his sensors, rubbed his forelegs, listened.
"My Comrades! My Friends! My Family! It's true Death awaits us on the road before us. Since our wheels move along old ruts this is certainly not news. Death is a lost friend waiting round a corner on any night. But for today, while Life is still ours, we have the chance to begin a struggle for a Life far greater than living for The Leader, dying for the next paycheck, or dreaming for the next piece of ass."
Don't you just love the idealism of Youth?
"So let's pretend there is no one in The Fatherland who can stand up to the ignorance and injustice infecting the very water we drink. No one. No one but we few. Let's pretend the job to resist The Bullies of The World and to fight against The Great Sloth of History is one only we can accomplish. Then we can conclude this is a job that needs to be done. So what to The World if we have the
self-respect to assume the task is ours. If we do this thing, and do it well, will it not be worth it? To hell with doing it for God, King, and Country. Let's just do it because it is a job that needs to be done."
Quite a little speech isn't it. Brought a tear to my eyes I'm proud to say and believe me that's not an easy thing to do. Painful too. I'm sure The Creator was very proud of them as well. After all that's why The Great It put you folks on this plot of prime cosmic property - to discover for yourselves the self-respect that will inspire you to sacrifice every now and then for something other than your own cake hole. Otherwise why would It bother with you folks in the first place?
You don't really think you're here to be free to do what you want do you? "Soon we will have to face Death disguised in black uniforms. Oh you are right Tomas; we will be squashed. So let's take our pleasures in this beautiful life while we can. Since the last taste of the pleasures and beauty of life are just like the first - beyond the prison of Time - we certainly won't miss the repetition of them."
I don't know about you but I'm hanging on every word.
"Finally let's imagine we are like this Fly that keeps resting on my arms because he doesn't know how to fear Death. All he knows is how to fly about until it's time to fly no more. Morality really has nothing to do with Life. It's a matter of timing, circumstance, and those who try to fly even if they can only crawl."
Did you notice the honorable mention of Father? Finally our Hero fell silent as if in a trance. Tomas and his friends took off their old worn clothes, trampled them under their feet, laughed and embraced while music and wine flowed. Father sensed his work was done there. He flew out the window into the night.
Father resumed his buzz-about to the tune of another resurrection of light inching over the dead night. He buzzed past a kiosk plastered with posters, the bright colors of the paper blooming as the darkness of the night wilted. Father decided on a fly-a-bout.
First poster pictured a woman, boy, and girl with their right arms stretched above their heads. The following words were printed in bold red:MOTHERS TEACH YOUR CHILDREN HOW TO DO THEIR SEIG HEILS.
Father buzzed up then down, landed on and off, rubbed his butt over the poster leaving little gifts, then buzzed 180 degrees to the other side.
A second poster blared another red lettered message:
Now this poster Father found a bit more intriguing. Excreting sufficient doses of sticky stuff on his feet then fine tuning his translation frequency, he initiated a thorough investigation. "Ahhhhh yes" Father thought to himself, being also a Fly of The World and a Prophet. Head Honchos everywhere seem to desire the kind of citizens who buzz in their direction. The ones who make no waves. The ones who remain silent and satisfied while buzzing and shitting about The Wasteland. The ones who will cut off their right arms to ensure their children will live the same as they did. Father opened his spiracle as wide as he could, gobbed on the poster, then buzzed away.
Where to next?
As the dawn swept the stars into another twilight, the moon, tired from its journey, slept as the old month passed into a new month. Father found himself on a boulevard called Blubberstrasse. Immediately he sensed this was the place to be and be seen. Trees yellow and red with leaves lined both sides of the street.
Magnificent white stone buildings shone bright even in the twilight. Birds awoke and began to sing their morning songs. Father had to make a quick decision before becoming a piece of breakfast for a bird. Remember we are all Killers. Life lives on Life. He noticed a dull dirty light illuminating a pair of red curtains hanging high over the only opened window in the tallest building on the boulevard. Father was attracted by a voice machine gunning from inside the apartment, a high pitched scream of a voice ripping through the sleep of momentary morning. Following the pitch of the voice he climbed the folds of the red curtain to the opening at the top. Father waited for the voice to fill the room again then buzzed closer to a man who was furiously pacing the floor.
"Should I spin The Wheel Josef? Ignite the ashes of History into a new bonfire? Oh my stomach."
Grimacing this man released a foul smelling gas from his waste hole. Father kept his distance.
"Ugh that damn pasta and tomato sauce. If only I didn't love it so much."
With the grace and subtleness of an unexpected, satisfying, slight, summer breeze Father landed on the man's head. Father slid to the brink of the man's
eyebrow on a strand of greasy hair and gazed at his own reflection multiplied in drops of sweat shining on the man's forehead. An urgency began to fill the apartment as fear infected the air in the room. Both men paced the floor afraid to sit down on furniture flayed by flames, the walls closing in on them, the arms of the grandfather clock running amuck around the dial faster and faster with each over-the-shoulder glance. The two men were as anxious as Flies at an abandoned picnic; Father sensed he had little time left in the apartment.
Buzzing off one greasy strand of hair to another, he searched for The Man's aura. Instead of colors of light all he saw was the man's sweat forming and multiplying on his forehead and his own image reflected back in triplicate. Father had the premonition that even after this particular breed of man expired his kind would always be able to multiply itself too. They'll live in tall white buildings. They'll pace the floors in spacious rooms. They'll hide behind windows decorated with gaudy red curtains. And no matter the color of the specimens' skin or which side of the tracks they were born on, they will always finish as one of the richest kids on the block.
Father reset the frequency on his antennae and vertically lifted off the man's head, his wings moving as fast as a hummingbird's. The buzz of Father's wings was so loud its piercing sound seemed to stick the man in the back of the neck. Spotting Father hover high above his head, he flashed his clear blue eyes. It was a showdown.
"Josef do you hear this Fly? Look at this puny dive bomber trying to attack me? What a pair of balls on him?"
Abruptly a physical fury possessed the man. Oh the misery you folks could prevent if only you could see the results of your actions before they happen. It doesn't work that way though does it. Naturally we don't suffer from passions and beliefs preventing us from living in peace. What a trade off. Hey, I wonder who gets the short end of the stick?
Anyway, he began to blitz Father with swinging fists. Father was too fast; the man swung at the atmosphere surrounding his body. A red tincture rose from the base of his throat, defying gravity, running up his face, and it appeared his internal organs were on fire. He paused, anger freezing his face, and it seemed he was waiting for the fire in his body to smoke his carcass into ashes.
With a calmness known only to Prophets and thieves incognito sneaking past The Watchmen, Father slipped into an air pocket underneath the man's shirt sticking out over his waist. As Father buzzed up his belly the man began beating himself, pounding his own skin. Exhausted he stopped and yelled:
"That's it! We invade in one hour!"
Father's mission was over.
Father escaped from the apartment that night and began his last journey home by the light of day. But before he left he hid himself in the gaudy red curtains and gazed back at the man one last time. The man's face was awash in the streaming tears released after physical and emotional tension subsides. Enough tears to drown The World.

The electropicks and accessories
Quality hand lockpick tools
Different types of picks of very high quality!
Different types of picks of very high quality!
Different kinds of flipper, tension tools, key extractors and accessories. The tools are good quality!
Our Bump Keys allow the fast and non-destructive opening of many different cylinder locks. Necessary: A suited Bump Key for the lock to be opened.
How do Bump Keys work?
The Bump Key is inserted into the keyway just like a normal key. The especially designed key cuts are then positioned just in front of the individual inner pins. By slight blows, i.e. rather a slight knocking, with a suited object the Bump Key is then driven further into the keyway. The fast blows of the sides of the key cuts onto the pins cause the pins to be driven into their channels very rapidly.
If the correct amount of sensible tension is exerted with the Bump Key onto the plug, i.e. by slightly turning the power key into the direction the plug is to be rotated, the cylinder can be unlocked. In this process the correct timing of blows and simultaneous exertion of tension with the key is the most important factor. This timing has to be trained. Usually multiple blows are necessary to unlock the cylinder.
To clarify everything once again: The short blows should rather be a slight "knocking" onto the Bump Keys, while the exerted tension should rather be a very slight and minimal turning in the desired direction.
The technique does not cause any kind of damage at all and is very quiet in practical use.
We offer lever (tryout) pick sets for very different types of locks such as Mortice-, Warded- and Furniture-Locks. All lever pick set "K" and "O" are forged and nickel-coated, the other sets are made of hardened and tempered steel. All Tryout Key Sets have a proven design and are delivered on a key ring. For simple warded locks as used in most interior room doors we recommend our "Classic" Lever Picks.
The technique of impressioning allows the production of a fitting and functioning key for a certain lock without having to dismount or disassemble the cylinder or even having to decode it with special devices and techniques. The only items required are the corresponding key blank for the cylinder, some tools and a certain amount of practice.

To say Conor McGregor is a special MMA fighter would be like saying Michael Jordan is a good basketball player. Conor has taken over MMA and has some unique training methods. He believes in movement and mixing up his training. He can be seen walking a beam like a gymnast one workout or doing a headstand to improve his balance in another training session.
His training involves lots of basic MMA workouts like boxing, kicks and Jiu-Jitsu, but he keeps working movement as a core training philosophy. Check out this video and get some inside training tips straight from McGregor.

In larger quantities it congests the stomach, impairs digestion and passes through the liver and kidneys unchanged, hardening and shrinking them. The most dangerous effects are upon the nervous system. It is useful to convalescents and consumptives. In acute diseases it relieves depression.
Alcohols. Combination of a hydroxyl (–OH) group or groups with a hydrocarbon group or radical. The compounds are organic hydroxides, and correspond in constitution to the inorganic hydroxides. They are acted upon by acids, usually neutralizing the acid and forming a salt. By oxidation they furnish aldehydes, ketones, and acids. Examples: methyl alcohol, CH,0H; ethyl alcohol, C.H.OH; and glycerine, C.H.(OH),.
Alcohol Engine. Designed to use the expansive force of the vapor of alcohol instead of steam in the cylinder; proposed by Edmund Cartwright 1797, and by Thomas Howard 1825–30. Alcohol was vaporized at each stroke by being injected on a surface of highly-heated oil, and after having driven the piston it was condensed on a large surface of metal, to be used again. There is no theoretical advantage in the use of alcohol vapor rather than water, and the combustibility of the material is a serious drawback.
Alcoholism. Morbid results of excessive or prolonged use of alcoholic liquors. The occasional excessive indulgence is termed acute alcoholism or inebriety. The long-continued use causes what is termed chronic alcoholism, results in severe morbid derangements or disorders of the digestive, respiratory and nervous system, and is the common cause of delirium tremens. Some are subject to a species of alcoholism which periodically induces them to great excesses in the use of liquor. A mild form of alcoholism is the habitual use of alcoholic stimulants in moderate quantities.
Alcoholometer. A hydrometer graduated to indicate the percentage of alcohol in liquors. It is made of glass. and contains a thermometer. he lowest graduations in .
dicate the gravity of water. The presence of alcohol causes the hydrometer to sink in the liquid; by consulting the calculated tables the amount of alcohol can be determined. Alcolea, SPAIN.

The things that have transpired in recent times have already
done serious harm to the many Falun Dafa students. At the same time, they have
also tarnished the nation's image severely. With regard to the information the
students have on how the relevant regions or the relevant departments have
directly or covertly interfered with and disrupted Falun Gong students'
practicing, and with regard to the situation in which some people used their
power to stir up a Falun Gong "incident," to put a broad segment of
the people and government in opposition to one another, and to thereby gain
politically, the students can report these cases through the normal channels to
different levels of the government or to the country's leaders.
But we are cultivators. Don't get involved in politics and
don't let the events that occurred a little while ago disrupt you. Calm your
minds, resume your normal practice and Fa-study, be diligent and cultivate
solidly, and continually improve yourselves.

While Valentine's Day flowers are sweet, sweets might be sweeter. And although chocolates are synonymous with V-Day cheer, Scoop gals know it's important to get your sugared-up body movin', especially with resolutions fresh on our minds and spring break looming just ahead.
In the spirit of maintaining balance, we asked some of your favorite local fitness experts what their go-to healthy desserts are just in time for Valentine's Day! And for true confessions, what they eat when the splurge. To counteract your V-Day indulgence, they've also included some of their studios' February happenings.
Core Revolution = free class just for scoop fans!
Core Revolution has a special recipe and Valentine's Day offer to share with Scoop readers:
Their friend and Nutrition Coach, Samantha Eaton, created a delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth with a 3-ingredient healthy chocolate bar made with cacao powder, coconut oil, and honey.
Before you get your chocolate fix, head over to the CORE REVOLUTION studio with your bae or boo to sweat with you and earn a free class! This is a special Scoop offer redeemable at their front desk by showing this post on your phone.
The Bar Method
All month long The Bar Method will have single classes for $14 (regularly $25) so bring your sweetie to class!
Bar Method instructor and Clinical Dietitian, Katrina says for V Day this year, "stay home with your sweetie, turn off all electronics, and reconnect by making something together." To help get your culinary juices flowing, she's even included a naughty and nice dessert option.
1) Healthy Dessert: Healthy Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
4 cups frozen strawberries
3 Tablespoons agave nectar or honey
1/2 cup plain yogurt (non-fat)
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Add all ingredients into a food processor. Process until creamy, about 5 minutes.
Serve the frozen yogurt immediately or transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the freezer for up to 1 month.
2) Over the Top Indulgence: Flame Free S'mores
1 cup chocolate chips
8 large marshmallows
graham crackers for serving
Preheat the oven to 450.

Orangetheory Fitness
Bekah, Regional Trainer/Head Coach at OTF Arboretum, loves blueberry muffin Larabars. They're gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, non-gmo, vegan, kosher, and Whole 30-approved but still taste like a treat. Their minimal ingredient list and the use of dates as the sweetener are great for Bekah's active lifestyle. We can't be on all the time, though, and when she's looking to indulge, Gigi's Wedding Cake cupcakes are her go-to guilty pleasure.
Her Head Coach at OTF South End, Justin, takes a page from Yafo's cookbook to whip up Brussels sprouts with coconut oil and diced dates, and tell us that "sneaky" veggies are a great way to fill yourself up with good stuff while also satisfying your craving for sweets. Try sneaky spinach in your smoothies or vegetable juices added to your batters before baking. Justin's weapon of mass fitness destruction is a crowd pleaser: Reese's Cups. As Justin says, peanut butter is basically a health food and chocolate comes from plants, so those sweet little cups are pretty much a salad, right?
FLY power couple, Zach Hollister (Flywheel instructor) and his girlfriend Heather Kennedy (FlyBarre instructor) dished on their favorite sweets and what's happening at FlyWheel and FlyBarre this month.
A go-to favorite for Zach is a simple banana & egg pancake with cinnamon. 1 egg per banana, mash and combine, dash with cinnamon, pour into pancake sized portions in a hot skillet. Quick, simple, and tasty FLYfuel. Heather's favorite healthy snack is a Peanut Butter & Strawberry Kind Bar with a Mean Greens smoothie from Juice Bar- it gives her the energy she needs to power through her classes!
When they're treating themselves, Zach is a sucker for some (many) chocolate covered strawberries and Heather adores the Coconut Truffles from Godiva with a glass of Malbec. Sounds like a perfect match! The chocolates too.
When you're done trying to beat Zach's chocolate covered strawberry record, he is hosting a
Date night ride on Tuesday, February 14th @ 5:30pm for couples that are looking for a sweat date 🙂
Heather will be riding in his class and will make an appearance on the podium to instruct the arms portion of the class. The couple that FLYs together, stays together! After class, riders can enjoy Valentine's drinks and treats in the lobby.

Apology from the British Prime Minister in Parliament before the 100th anniversary of the British massacre of Sikhs at Jallianwala Bagh on 13 April 1919 – Third report from the Sikh Federation (UK) National Sikh Convention
London – 20 September 2016
In April 2016 a speech was delivered by Dabinderjit Singh, an adviser to the Sikh Federation (UK), at a Vaisakhi event in Parliament on the significance of the Khalsa.
In that speech a reference was made to what Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, had just announced on the occasion of a Vaisakhi event in Parliament Hill in Ottawa. He said that on 18 May 2016 he would make a full apology in the House of Commons for the Komagata Maru incident from 1914 when over 350 passengers – nearly all Sikhs and British subjects – were denied entry, starved of food and water for two months with the ship eventually being forced to return to India.
In 2013 David Cameron visited Jallianwala Bagh, in Amritsar where on the occasion of Vaisakhi on 13 April 1919 soldiers of the British Indian army fired at more than 10,000 unarmed men, women and children who had gathered. During his visit he described the Amritsar massacre as "a deeply shameful event in British history, one that Winston Churchill rightly described at that time as monstrous. We must never forget what happened here and we must ensure that the UK stands up for the right of peaceful protests".
Dabinderjit Singh pointed out on 13 April 2018 it will be 100 years since the massacre by British soldiers in Amritsar. The minimum the worldwide Sikh community deserved was an apology by the British Prime Minister in Parliament.
Greg Clarke, the Secretary of State at the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) at that time listened carefully to the full speech and nodded to acknowledge the demand. DCLG and Foreign Office officials were reminded at a meeting last week on the need to make progress on this issue. The response so far has been generally agreeable to the suggestion.
Bhai Amrik Singh in his speech at the National Sikh Convention mentioned it was made all the more painful as the Amritsar massacre of 1919 came within months of the end of the First World War where Sikhs had made sacrifices in huge numbers for the freedom of Europe. The Sikh Federation (UK) wrote to the Foreign Secretary on this matter a week ago to try and accelerate progress on this subject.
The Sikh Federation (UK) is by far the largest, most prominent and influential campaigning Sikh organisation in the UK that leads on political engagement for the British Sikh community. The organisation is often referred to as the first and only Sikh political party. The Sikh community in the UK and throughout the diaspora look to the organisation for leadership and direction.

The Peloponesse, Greece's southern peninsula, is rich in history, and one of the most beautiful regions in the country. It hides amazing scenery, culture, historic sites and ancient ruins. The surounding sea waters are of the bluest blue. Its villages are pearl white jewels hidden in thick vegetation. Its landscapes are breathtaking. Many sites within easy reach of Athens you can visit on one-day excursions, such as: Ancient Corinth and the Corinth canal, Epidaurus, Nafplion & Mycenae, Ancient Sparta & Byzantine Mystras, Olympia, Kalavryta & the cave of the lakes. Some others, like Monemvasia, "the Diros" Caves, Mt. Taygetus and the Mani area, the Messinian castles, the Ilia region of Olympia are better visited in 2 & 3 day tours
Start with the ancient sites of Corinth, Epidaurus and Mycenae, all easily reached from Nafplion.
Further south, you can explore the medieval Byzantine city of Mystras near Sparta on the slopes of Mt Taygetos, with its winding paths and stairways leading to deserted palaces and fresco-adorned churches and the area of Mani, a region of bleak mountains and barren landscapes broken only by imposing stone towers, mostly abandoned but still standing sentinel over the region.
Other attractions in the Peloponesse include the beautiful medieval castle island of Monemvasia, the Ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games, and the thrilling Diakofto-Kalavryta, rack-and-pinion railway, which roller coasts its way through the deep Vouraikos river Gorge.

Average Nonphysician Provider Salary: $158,670
Napa, Calif. — At the fall edition of The Cosmetic Bootcamp (CBC), attendees learned that numbers alone may understate the complexity of aesthetic nonphysician provider compensation.
A recent survey showed that on average, full-time nonphysician aesthetic providers earn $158,670. But with variables including salary, hourly pay, commissions, bonuses and benefits, said Mary Beth Hagen, virtually every respondent's pay scheme is unique. She is CEO/founder of TITAN Aesthetic Recruiting
The company undertook the first-ever survey of nonphysician aesthetic provider compensation to highlight what it costs a business to hire an injector, and how injectors should approach loyalty and building the practice's brand, she said. Based on 88 respondents, the survey does not indicate what providers should earn or employers should pay, added Ms. Hagen.

PSG manager Laurent Blanc has accused Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavazzi of showing a "total lack of respect" after returning late from their Christmas holidays.
The pair will sit out a second game in a row, having missed the French Cup midweek win over Montpellier, when the capital side play Bastia on Saturday.
Uruguayan Cavani and Argentine Lavezzi returned to the club last weekend but by that stage had missed a mid-season camp in Morocco and both have been fined and dropped and linked with moves away.
PSG return to action after a difficult week for everyone in the French capital after the terrorist attacks and Blanc held a minute's silence at his press conference on Friday.
Despite losing just one of their opening 19 league matches PSG stand only third in the table after drawing eight matches.
PSG are a biggest 9-20 at BetVictor and with Cavani and Lavezzi missing attention turns to Zlatan Ibrahimovic who is 14-5 at BetVictor to score first.
St Etienne, just two points back in fourth place, head to Reims on Saturday, while Lille tackle bottom-of-the-table Caen and Guingamp face Lens.
Rennes boss Philippe Montanier will be looking for his team to end their recent run of poor Ligue 1 form with victory at Evian. Montanier's men have slipped to eighth in the table following a run of three successive defeats but Rennes won 6-2 when the teams played in August.
Ex-Newcastle star Hatem Ben Arfa could make his debut for Nice against Lorient while on Sunday Lyon, who start the weekend in second, play Toulouse who beat them earlier in the season.
Monaco, seeking a fifth straight league win and eighth in all competitions, take on Bordeaux at the Stade Louis II and are a best 4-5 at Betfred.
Nantes play Metz, who lost six out of seven Ligue 1 matches before the Christmas break to tumble towards relegation trouble.

Blake Lively stars in L'Oréal's new beauty campaign
OHMYGOSSIP — Blake Lively stars in L'Oréal's new beauty campaign.
The 29-year-old actress – who was announced as the spokesperson for the beauty and skincare brand in 2013 – features in L'Oréal's new True Match foundation commercial for their 'Your Skin, Your Story' campaign, and the blonde beauty has admitted the advert has strongly "moved" her because it celebrates every woman's "similarities and our differences".
The former 'Gossip Girl' star shared a picture of her portrait in black and white on her Instagram account with a quote from her emblazoned across it, which read "We are different shapes and sizes. We are different colours. We are beautiful inside and out. We are kind. We are brave. We are vulnerable. We are flawed. We are perfect. We are worth it …".
And the blonde beauty – who has daughters James, two, and two-month-old Ines with her husband Ryan Reynolds – captioned the post: "'Because I'm worth it' is an iconic belief that resonates with so many, for good reason. Now more than ever that simple phrase is a powerful reminder to us all, as woman are coming together, rising up, and standing for their value. We are worth it. We are different shapes and sizes. We are different colors. We are beautiful inside and out. We are kind. We are brave. We are vulnerable. We are flawed. We are perfect. We are worth it. And we each have a story to tell. Which is why I was so moved by the 'Your Skin, Your Story' campaign. It's a beautiful illustration that we are in this together. And we are listening to one another and celebrating each other for both our similarities, and our differences. Now THAT'S beautiful." -Me 🙂 #worthsharing #truematch (sic)."
Blake took to social media to share a link of her talking about the product and in the footage the star admitted she likes to give the illusion she is not wearing any make-up when she is, although she has revealed she doesn't like to don a face full of cosmetic products.
Speaking in the clip, she said: "I am from Southern California. I am English, Irish and Cherokee, so my family is from all over. To look back over my heritage and see where my family has come from is neat.
"I like when I'm wearing to make-up to look like I'm not wearing make-up, I like not wearing much, so this is just something that complements and enhances your natural beauty without adding a mask on top of it. My true match is W3 and I'm worth it."
