Men, have you saw that as you age you intend to go out as well as party till the sun shows up less as well as less? Women, have you discovered that the responsibilities of work and family have slipped in as well as you don't get to dance as high as you wish to?
Why is it that in The U.S.A. clubs are for twenty years of age? As well as in Europe, you find on your own hand pumping following to a 50-year old? There's possibly great deals of factors and frankly that cares. The factor is we have a tendency to get monotonous as we age over here in The United States and Canada.
Do not obtain me wrong- I'm totally guilty of it myself yet I decided to alter things up in my life. You brand-new experiences. Before we went to Mykonos this summer a friend told me that we ought to see Tiesto at Cavo Paradiso. I said who's Tiesto? He claimed, "dude come on". I claimed, "I truly have no hint." He claimed, "Google him."
Turns out this Mr Tiesto guy has 10,018,516 Facebook fans! Who is this person? Ends up DJ magazine voted him the worlds best DJ. Fair enough. I'll provide a pay attention. I called my preferred hotel front workdesk woman Eleni and asked her if she would certainly get me some tickets to see him. She called me back and also stated, "All the tables are marketed out." more details Wait a minute. Sold out? He's not coming for 2 months! I don't intend to see the second resulting Elvis. I just intend to see a DJ.
Kim and also I were told to get there at midnight to secure our VIP table. Tiesto would come on at around 3am. Think of 4000 individuals in a club which is constructed into a bluff as well as neglects the Mediterranean.
Around 4 am you see something odd taking place to one of the walls. Till you look again and see that "purple wall" really isn't really a wall surface and also has actually now miraculously been transformed into the Mediterranean ocean.
Before you can claim, "Where's my radiance stick?", Tiesto aims out to the perspective from his pulpit, indicating that something is coming. I attempted and also scrub the alcohol from my eyes in vain to earn out just what's coming. I see two fronts lights sparkling in the distant skies which seem a plane. I believed, perhaps it was Tiesto area ship pertaining to pick him up due to the fact that the job was over (I later on located out he has a Lear Jet for that).
As the twinkling fronts lights begin to look even more like two bright round fireballs hitting their final approach on our dancing floor. Tiesto musically scores the landing to symphonic music makings you really feel as if you and also 4000 other individuals are landing the airplane with simply the group's combined energy.
I could only envision what the Captain that just piloted in this over night flight has to be thinking. 4000 individuals jumping, dance, screaming as well as directing at him as he lands his enormous beast of metal at the airport terminal beside Cavo.
After that evening I formally came to be Tiesto Facebook Follower # 10,018,517. For me, It's more than simply belonging of good songs. It has to do with wanting to welcome that dark side most of us have inside us. We spend so much of our lives being restrained and also included. Maybe it's time to take a walk on the dark side. Also if it's just to party one evening up until the sun thinks of 4000 of your closest friends.
Prior to we went to Mykonos this summer season a good friend informed me that we need to see Tiesto at Cavo Paradiso. I said who's Tiesto? Tiesto would come on at around 3am., Tiesto aims out to the horizon from his pulpit, indicating that something is coming. I believed, maybe it was Tiesto space ship coming to pick him up since the gig was over (I later discovered out he has a Lear Jet for that).

Cabela's, one of the largest outdoor hunting and fishing retailers, has sported the Cahill fly rod combination for several years. It is one of the least expensive combinations on the market selling for $59.95 as a standard price, but at times on sale for $39.99. It comes with rod, reel, line backing, and line - all prespooled. Your first question, is it worth the price? Answer: Yes, but only for the rod alone.
I purchased a 5wt, 9 foot rod three years ago. My purpose was to keep it in the trunk of my car just in case a fly fishing opportunity presented itself. Being fortunate to live in a state were fishing is possible year around (except during hurricanes, lightning strikes, and gator mating season), I've used the rod about a dozen times each year. Under certain conditions (explained later), it has become my rod of choice.
The Good: The rod has some impressive features for the price. It has snake guide eyelets, a hook keeper, and a double ringed reel seat - all pleasant surprises for such an inexpensive rod. Snake guide eyelets are preferred over single foot eyelets because they more rugged. A hook keeper is not essential, but nice to have. Double rings on the reel seat allow the reel to remain snug on the fly rod. Cabela's could have cut corners with all three of these features, but chose to have a more serviceable fly rod. I have placed two different types of reels on this fly rod. Both have fit very well.
The Less Than Good The cork handle is soft and has started to show signs of wear. For the price, it is hard to quibble. Also, the epoxy on the female ends of the ferrules is starting to crack. The ferrule itself is solid and the cracking is not affecting rod performance.
The Bad There really isn't anything upsetting with this fly rod. I lacks a storage tube and rod sock, but at this price you really should not expect to get these items.
Performance: I liken fly rod performance to car performance; it all depends on the preferences of the driver. There are so many different cars on the market because there are so many drivers with different tastes. I mean, who would have thought that the AMC Gremlin would become a collector's item? The same holds true for fly rods. For durability, the Cahill is no slouch. It is also noticeably light. The rod is in four sections and all easily assemble together. They stay together while casting and disassemble easily. The rod is mid-flex or a mid-action rod. It feels stiffer than mid-flex, but not quite a fast action rod either. At the same time, it casts shorter than my Temple Fork Outfitters rod - one that has a slower action/more flexibility. In summary, it is a stiffer rod but lacks the casting distance somewhat. Still, the action is acceptable and catching fish with it is enjoyable. Being stiffer, it easy handles the two to three pound bass you can get with a stiff hook set. If I am targeting bass for the day and still want to use a 5wt rod, this is my rod of choice.
I cannot evaluate the reel because I never used it. It was entirely plastic and it really did not suite my taste. I took the line and backing off and placed it on another reel.
The fly line was weight forward and was too light for the fly rod. It did not load well initially and shot poorly through the eyelets. I usually like to overload a fly rod when it comes to forward tapered, floating line. This rod performed well with a six weight line. The backing was, well backing, and I used it on another fly line later.
Do I recommend the Cabela's Cahill combo? Yes and no. Yes if you are an experienced fly fisher and have another fly line or are willing to purchase a new one. This makes a great extra rod in your collection with minimal expense. I would not recommend the combo to a person starting out fly fishing. Newbies need all the help they can get and a poorly matched line with the rod is certain to frustrate. Perhaps the line could be used on a smaller rod. I do not know how this line performs with the other weight rods that Cabela's offers for their Cahill combos, perhaps they are a better matched. Unfortunately Cabela's only sells the rod as a combo. However, the rod itself is a terrific deal for the combination price. I would guess this to be a popular selling rod from Cabela's and would anticipate this rod to be offered for years to come.

As you move about 10 to 25 degrees north and south of the equator, the unchanging wetness of the rain forest begins to dissipate, giving way to a more seasonal climate. The temperatures are still warm throughout the year, but precipitation in tropical dry forests comes in bursts of only five or six months. The rest of the year is dry and relatively bare; in some areas during the dry season, these forests may resemble savannas or even deserts.
The soils are often relics of the ancient continent Gondwana, especially in directly detached, isolated systems like New Caledonia. The soils are more fertile than that of the rain forests, but erosion is higher, especially in deforested areas.
The dichotomous nature of the climate in the dry forest drives life to cope with the extreme seasonality of precipitation in different ways. The driest areas are dominated by deciduous trees that drop their moisture-exuding leaves once the rains stop, allowing sunlight to pass through the once-thick canopy, to reach the lower levels of the forest. Wetter areas, like Southeastern Indochina, are home to large forests of dipterocarps (pdf) and other evergreens, able to utilize the blessings of the monsoon rain season to keep growing throughout the year. And, unlike the plants of the rain forests, that rely almost entirely on animals to disperse seeds, seeds in the dry forest are swept through open areas by strong winds.
Wildlife is diverse in the dry forests, but necessarily migratory in some areas due to the extreme seasons. During the dry season, many animals will travel to a certain area in the neighboring rain forest to subsist, waiting for the rains to return to their home. This extra level of complexity has given ecologists a new challenge: Tracing the migratory paths of animals reliant on both tropical dry and wet forests. How much do these species rely on each biome for subsistence?
Dry forest systems are not quite as biologically diverse as rain forests, but they are home to many rare species found nowhere else: tigers, leopards and jaguars, sloth bears, a myriad of kingfishers and flycatchers, the Komodo dragon, the maned wolf, the elusive Javan rhino and unique plants like Gouania and Cycas beddomei. The Madagascar dry forests are home to seven species of baobab tree. The whole of Africa can claim only one.
While I'm generally working under the assumption that the reader knows the dangers faced by each biome, the dry forest has been massively altered by human influences. There is a huge difference in human population between tropical wet and dry forests. Murphy and Lugo provided an estimate in 1986: In Central America, only 7 percent of the people lived in wet forest areas, while 79 percent live in dry forest areas. The relatively fertile soil drives deforestation for agricultural purposes, and has whittled dry forests down to just about 2 percent of their former area in places like Central America.
Guanacaste National Park in Costa Rica is usually hailed as the prevailing example of how dry forests can be saved and care of them placed in capable, educated hands of native peoples. Ecologist Dan Janzen began with a simple problem - why does the guanacaste tree produce so much fruit if it just lays around - found a simple answer - it had evolved to rely on herbivores like camel and ground sloths to disperse its seeds; unfortunately, those animals were hunted to extinction 10,000 years ago - and then used this knowledge to set up a system to save the tree - by introducing domesticated herbivores to the park - and encouraging the Costa Rican people to preserve their lands. Janzen called it a "biocultural restoration."
Next in the order of increasing latitude is the savanna, tropical grasslands that actually cross the boundaries with dry forests. More on that later.

Andi Mann from CA Technologies recently pointed out that, at every turn, customers are interacting more and more with businesses through applications. "Think of real estate businesses like Trulia, Zillow and Realtor.com," he wrote in Wired's Innovation Insights. "Or think about restaurants. It used to be that we'd call a restaurant to make a reservation, or even drop in and make a reservation. Now it's all on-line, through OpenTable, or Foursquare." This is the emergence of the Application Economy, where the application becomes the primary point of contact between the business and the customer.
Much of this is being made possible through the use of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to link front-end applications to back-end information systems. This approach is exploding in popularity because it builds on well-understood techniques from the web and leverages some existing infrastructure.
But it is a mistake to think we can secure APIs using the same methods and technology that we used to secure the conventional, browser-centric web. While it is true that APIs share many of the same threats that plague the web, they are fundamentally different and have an entirely unique risk profile that you need to manage.
Good API developers understand the threat profile of what they are designing. Unfortunately, many API developers come directly from a web design background, and may bring with them some bad habits. It's important to recognize that despite their common roots and sharing of infrastructure, web design and API design have separate goals and demand different approaches.
A new SlideShare posted by CA Technologies, How Risky are Your APIs?, explains the potential risks of APIs and highlights the three most common forms of attack.
The SlideShare is based on a recent eBooklet published by Scott Morrison of CA Technologies, Five Simple Strategies for Securing Your APIs, which not only goes into much greater detail on the threats but lays out five simple steps that organizations should be taking today to reduce their risk.

ForexMinute.com – A high voltage pump has one again brought few days of limelight to yet another cryptocurrency. This time it is Vericoin which has grabbed the investors' eyeballs by rising extensively in last few hours – a move which is well criticized by the regular users inside the crypto market.
While waiting for a supposed dump of Vericoin, we took a chance to think of this old-fashioned mechanism of new coins, to rise to fame overnight. We took a look at the Vericoin's well-designed website, which neatly created an optimistic flimflam. Our sources on internet revealed that this new kid on the block is a rip-off of BlackCoin. It is a proof of stake verified with a multipool, proof of work distributed coin, allegedly waiting to be abandoned by its development and pump crew as soon as it hits the peak threshold.
And in fact, the coin is at press time, the ninth wealthiest cryptocurrency by market cap.
A whole group from BlackCoin community is currently discussing Vericoin on Reddit, openly criticizing its sudden surge to be yet another fraudulent gimmick. Some among them have also condemned the Vericoin interest model for being more harmful than the fiat interest rates. Incidentally, this interest model was distributed as one of the key attractions of Vericoin but fell right short of its hidden agendas.
One comment reads:
"The protocol is set to give less interest when few people are staking, which is when security is most needed, so why would you reduce the incentive? And they give more interest when many people are staking, a time when security is less needed, relatively speaking. This may also encourage people not to stake altogether, waiting for a time when interest is at its highest to spend coin age."
The Vericoin Defense
There are also some users who are protecting Vericoin by calling its centralized services a better thing to implement. For example: one among few supporters points out the SMS feature offered by Vericoin developers that would be able to send money across different online wallets by using simple messaging services. Incidentally, this feature is considered untrustworthy by many others.
Some users have also taken BlackCoiners for being too jealous of Vericoin. One of them comments, "I understand the frustration of the community but face is these developers are smart and hungry it's not a pump and dump is anything BC is looking more like a pump and dump as it went up from 10k-95k in three days. So [hating] it makes the BC community look bad!"
The conclusion of this ongoing spat can only be given after watching the markets for few days more. Do read our daily cryptocurrency trading news to where these coins are heading.

Carlsbad Caverns
What's a Trippy?
It's a short visual trip to places of architectural or design importance.
Where are we going?
Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico, USA
What's to see?
It's jaw-dropping what you'll find in this beautiful (and mostly underground) national park. Surrounded by the rugged Guadalupe Mountains and the barren Chihuahuan Desert, you're going to either hike your way into the caverns or descend through an elevator shaft that takes you into gigantic subterranean chambers to view fantastic cave formations.
Artful illumination from thousands of white lights show you the stalactites and stalagmites along with other cave features. Over 30 miles of passages have been explored in this huge cave system, and you can only tour a small fraction of them. The deepest chamber is 1,037 feet below the surface. If you're visiting during the warmer months, you'll get to see the swarms of bats that make their home in the caverns.

About Me:
On a long flight to Scotland for choir tour in college, I had traded my aisle seat to a tall tenor and was sitting in the middle seat. At one point I took a break from my book and was listening to a conversation the tenor was having with other choir members across the aisle. The tenor turned, looked at me, and said "You're so weird." To this day, I still don't know what it was about my listening to him talk about his bag of lucky rocks that prompted the comment. At the time, I was a little hurt. But perhaps the tenor was right. I might be a little weird, but I'm coming to terms with it. I'm a geek. I have pointy elf ears to go with my Galadriel costume, and just got an Autographed Tron Light Disc replica. I kind of want to learn Chinese so I can speak like a Browncoat. My common sense knows there are no such things as elves and unicorns, but a little corner of me still sort of believes in them anyway. My faith is a work in progress, but all of me believes in God. Occasionally I get homesick for the Highlands of Scotland, even though I have lived all my life in Michigan. I sing when I'm happy, or sad, or energized, or bored. There are days when I am very lonely. Sometimes I stand on my furniture at home because sitting down or standing normally is boring. I love bagpipes, bass guitars, Irish whistles, electric guitars, bodhrans, flutes, pianos, and just about any other instrument you can think of, including the human voice. I had a Life is Good spare tire cover on my 11-year-old Jeep Wrangler (which I recently sold, but still miss). I dance when no one is looking. I talk to my animals as if they understand and could answer. I love to crank up good music in the car or at home. There are a million things I dream of trying if I can find the right person to share in the adventure. Weird is good.
About Strider & Luna:
As this blog progresses, I am sure you will hear plenty about Strider and Luna, so I figured I should introduce them too. Strider is my dog. I adopted him from Animal Control in July of 2008. He's a mutt of some kind. I'm not sure what his dominant breed is, though the primary theory is Irish Wolfhound, and I instantly fell in love with his Wolfie-face. He's a hound of many faces, and many nicknames. Among them: Fuzzy-mutt, Horseface, and Big-dog. Luna is my little black kitty. I adopted her from the Humane Society in September of 2012. She is beautiful, sweet, and has the softest fur. She doesn't have many nicknames yet, but I'm sure she'll earn some eventually.

December 6, 2011, The New York Times
Stocks rose on Monday, although they lost some of their gains after a media report said Standard & Poor's was about to warn Germany and other euro zone nations that their credit ratings were being assessed for a possible downgrade.
The markets were generally higher earlier in the day when an agreement between leaders of France and Germany raised optimism that European leaders would reach a credible solution to their debt crisis.
S.& P. confirmed after the closing bell that it might downgrade the credit ratings of 15 euro zone countries. S.& P. placed the ratings of euro zone countries, including top-rated Germany and France, on credit watch negative. The euro last traded at $1.339, down 0.1 percent for the day, near a session low of $1.337.
"We know Europe is facing a dire situation here and this action seems appropriate," said Brian Dolan, chief strategist at Forex.com in Bedminster, N.J. "If they are trying to send a message, now is a good time."
The rating agency's move came as the leaders of France and Germany agreed to a master plan for imposing budget discipline across the region ahead of a meeting on Friday.
The proposal from President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany included automatic penalties for governments that fail to keep their deficits under control.
Wall Street ended off the day's highs, though it was still near 1 percent higher.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 78.41 points, or 0.65 percent, to 12,097.83. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 12.80 points, or 1.03 percent, to 1,257.08. The Nasdaq climbed 28.83 points, or 1.10 percent, to 2,655.76.
European stocks hit a five-week closing high, though analysts were wary the optimism could prove overdone.
"We are far from an easy consensus that it's a done deal," said Marc Pado, United States market strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald in San Francisco. "But we are further along in the negotiations than we've been and we are focused on the right things now."
While the American economy is still expected to avoid another recession, data released Monday was also downbeat.
Growth in the service sector in the United States eased last month, and new orders for factory goods fell in October, tempering recent optimism that the economy might be poised for a more vigorous rebound.
The Institute for Supply Management said Monday that its services index fell unexpectedly to 52.0 last month from 52.9 the month before, dragged lower by a decline in employment. Although that figure was at its weakest since January 2010, business activity and new orders both improved, showing the mixed nature of expansion that also was evident in the upbeat jobs report for November.
A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
"This is the first disappointing indicator we've seen in the last couple of weeks," said Cary Leahey, managing director at Decision Economics in New York. "The economy has improved, it is still not growing very quickly."
Pointing to growth in services, the I.S.M.'s gauge of new orders rose to 53.0 from 52.4.
In a separate report on Monday from the Commerce Department, new orders for factory goods fell in October for the second consecutive month, suggesting a possible softening in manufacturing. That area of the economy has been a crucial support for the recovery. The agency said that orders for manufactured goods decreased 0.4 percent.
Economists had forecast orders would fall 0.3 percent after a previously reported 0.3 percent increase in September.

Lynchburg Fried Rice
soy sauce
white rice
frozen peas
optional: any meat scraps any vegitables mushrooms be creative with fridge left overs.
In a two quart sauce pan place about a half inch of rice on the bottom of the pan. Add water to the first nuckle of your forefinger above the level of the rice {this works for any quanity of rice by the way}. Add about a table spoon of butter, cover and bring to a boil reduce heat to a slow simmer. When the water is absorbed the rice is done. Then set aside. cut bacon in small slices, slice cabbage thinly, and cut the other ingredients creatively. If you are adding meat scraps cut into small pieces. Raw meat should be sliced accross the grain. Fry the bacon first then add the foods in the order that takes the longest to get done. Last step is to stir in the rice. Add soy sauce to taste while cooking.
Any combinations of meats and vegitables can be added, good way to dispose of those pesky left overs.

Haven Trust Supporting People Limited provides 24 hour support with high dependency funding via Housing Benefit and Supporting People funding.
The primary purpose is to support tenancies so that Service Users can move on to independent living. The project provides support to those who are single homeless with drug and alcohol misuse problems. We operate a "dry house" policy, which means that no unprescribed medication or alcohol is allowed. Therefore only people who have been 'detoxed' or who have refrained from taking drugs and/or drink can be allowed to partake of the project. Provision is made for a phased move into independent living via the 'Move-on Strategy' so that the Service User is prepared for all aspects of resettlement. There is an initial intensive mechanism where support is provided on a daily basis in the first week so that issues such as furniture, budgeting and other needs are addressed to give every possibility for a smooth and successful transition. Thereafter, a total of one year's support (or more when necessary) is given in the form of phone calls, letters, visits to, visits from past service users. After the first year, contact is made once a year or as often as a Service User requests further support. Records are kept of all such contacts so that reports, surveys and statistics are kept for Welsh Assembly requirements.
Extracurricular activities include walking in Gower and its beaches, visits to the theatre, cinema, museums , art galleries, leisure centres and swimming as well as visits to "Verdi's" and other coffee houses. The residents have visits arranged to County Hall, The Guildhall and, as schedules permit, the Mansion House, where tours are conducted to help foster awareness of their citizenry and their sense of belonging. An official visit has also been arranged for the residents to meet the first citizen of Swansea, The Lord Mayor. All of these things are designed to foster greater awareness of the residents' own self-worth and confidence. This all adds to the confidence needed to sustain tenancies.
The project provides an opportunity for each individual to have a support development plan and a risk assessment both of which require assessments, planning and monthly review. These are drawn up in consultation with the service user to give the individual attention and opportunity to inter-relate and partake of relaxed dialogue and meaningful support. The backdrop is always a congenial one in which the vulnerable resident is helped to feel accepted that they belong, are regarded, consulted and included. They are encouraged in self-determination and self-empowerment. The social and life-skills they acquire through interaction and various responsibilities within the house further empower them to make decisions for themselves and ultimately sustain tenancies. The object therefore is to see each individual succeed and take control of their lives.
Through high dependency support the Service User gradually acquires the confidence that allows them to progress to independent living with support from Haven Trust Supporting People Limited and or floating support. Then onto full integration into society knowing we are always there for further advice if an issue arises. Past service users are always encouraged to return for a cup of tea and a chat either to keep in touch or share their progress and challenges so that we can either offer further support, advice or provide a point of contact.

Afterall, the original series is adapted by the same team behind the Attack on Titan anime. Seriously, the same animation studio, same director, and music composer. But comparison's aside, Kabaneri does differentiate itself with its feudal steampunk meets zombie apocalypse setting. The series that takes place in a world where humans live in fortified fortresses that protect them from zombie-like creatures called "Kabane." Kabaneri's art style teleports you back to the 80s, which is no surprise seeing as the legendary Haruhiko Mikimoto is behind the character design. Mostly active during the 1980s, Mikimoto was known as one of the top designers of his time bringing us influential characters like Lynn Minmay, the first ever anime idol, way before K-On!, Hatsune Miku, and Love Live!.
This looks so cool!! I can't wait to get totally obsessed with it!!

- Score: Le Moyne 75, Assumption 69
- Records: Le Moyne (13-7, 9-5 NE10), Assumption (7-12, 4-10 NE10)
- Location: Worcester, Mass. (Laska Gym)
- The Lead: Assumption trailed for much of the second half but went on a run in the final six minutes to tie the game, however, Le Moyne was able to hit its shots late and escape with a 75-69 victory on Saturday afternoon in conference action.
- Assumption jumped out to a 9-5 lead at 6:45 off a three from Meghan Reen (Norwood, Mass. / Norwood) and extended it to 10-5 three minutes later. Le Moyne responded with a 10-6 run over the final 3:10 of the period to trail by just one, 16-15, at the end of the quarter.
- Morgan O'Donnell (Easton, Mass. / Ursuline Academy) scored Assumption's first six points of the second and gave the Hounds a 22-19 lead on a three-point play at 7:26. Jordan Hawkins (Glen Burnie, Md. / Glen Burnie) extended the lead to 24-19 with 6:41 left, however, six straight by the Dolphins gave them a 25-24 lead with 4:00 minutes left. The team's traded baskets the rest of the quarter and Assumption trailed 31-29 at the half, as a last-second three was off the mark.
- Le Moyne used a 15-8 run over the first five minutes of the third period to push its lead to 46-37. The Dolphins extended it as high as ten points multiple times, though a pair of free throws from O'Donnell cut it to eight with 1:10 left. The Dolphins added two more points for a 56-46 lead through three.
- In the fourth Assumption trailed 60-48 at 8:41, before scoring ten straight points to trim it to just two on a Kiera O'Donnell (Cheshire, Conn. / Holy Cross) free throw at 4:43. Morgan O'Brien (Reading, Mass. / Reading) tied the game at 62 apiece with 3:12 remaining. Le Moyne answered with a three-point play and an O'Brien layup made it a one-point game, however, the Hounds missed their next three shots and the Dolphins made their free throws to earn the six-point win.
- Assumption shot 46.3 percent from the floor in the game but was just 4 of 19 from beyond the arc and 15-for-20 on free throws. Le Moyne, meanwhile, made 64.0 percent of its shots and was 3-for-11 from downtown. Assumption only committed 13 turnovers and outrebounded the Dolphins 30-24.
- Reen scored a career-high 21 points with four rebounds and two assists while Morgan O'Donnell added five rebounds, three assists and two steals. O'Brien was also in double figures with 12 points and two boards.
- McKayla Roberts had a double-double of 17 points, ten assists and two steals while Nicole Riddick added 16 points, six rebounds and two steals.
- The Hounds return to action on Wednesday when they travel to play Merrimack at 5:30 pm.

Computação ciente de contexto aplicada ao monitoramento de condições críticas em ambientes físicos.
Kudo, Taciana Novo
MetadataMostrar registro completo
Context-aware computing investigates applications that adapt their behavior according to information (or context) captured from a physical and/or computational environment such as the location of a user. The monitoring of critical conditions in physical environments is one of the domains that take advantage of the context-aware computing facilities, where context is captured from sensors spread over environments in order to aid the prevention, the combat and the evaluation of emergency situations such as fire, rebellions in penitentiaries, explosions and leaks of toxic substances. Related works report the need for a middleware that provides services, e.g. for context interpretation and location of people and objects, which can be used by a myriad of devices and any kind of applications for monitoring of critical conditions, regardless platform, operating system and/or programming language. This work presents an approach exploiting context-aware computing in the monitoring of critical conditions in physical environments, which includes the specification of a middleware and its following main services: the Context Interpreter Service, the Event Notification Service and the Location Service. The Context Interpreter Service notifies and interprets context gathered from sensors. As those interpretations follow the security policies of each business, an Interface for Configuration and Monitoring was also developed as a means to allow particular criteria of monitoring for a business. The Event Notification Service uses the publish/subscribe paradigm based on topics. The Location Service handles the location of people and objects in physical environments. Middleware components and applications communicate through XML-encoded messages via publish/subscribe mechanism. A case study for that approach uses the Asas de um Sonho aviation museum of the TAM air company as scenario.

Pagan Blogs 4.18.07
Here are a few of my favorite blog posts from the last week or so:
I recently ran across a new Heathen blog, The Northern Path, that has so far concentrated on news relating to Heathenry in Sweden. This news includes an article regarding the Swedish Government's recognition of a Heathen group as a religious organization.
Speaking of Heathens, one that has been MIA for awhile has resurfaced after some recent health issues. Welcome back, Bernulf!
Kay, from Songs of Unforgetting, recently discovered the concept of Interdependent Origination while reading about Buddhism.
Both Jaspenelle and Jason posted about the shooting at VA Tech, while Chas talks about the shootings from the perspective of a professor. I have not posted these past couple of days as I have been contacting those I know who either go to the school or work there to make sure they (and their families) are okay. Thank the gods, they are.
Jeff at Druid Journal, has been talking about how to determine the meaning of your name. While I've read the article, I haven't worked through my name yet. I plan to print out the article and work on it during my trip.
Paul at Evoking the Goddess mentioned that Blackthorn is currently blooming in his area of the UK and says that he is looking forward to the Hawthorn. I can hardly wait to see it myself when I make the journey to England next week.

I have 2 sites. SiteA and SiteB. SiteA has a list called ListA with 3 columns(FirstName, LastName and email address).SiteB has 5 columns (FirstName, LastName, email address, Project Name and Project Status)
When I want to enter FirstName in ListB, I want this information to be looked-up in ListA and auto-fill/auto-populate LastName and Email Address in ListB by doing a lookup in ListA.
How may I do this calculated cross-site lookup?
It is not possible OOTB so I am happy to purchase a tool.
Thank you

I am getting appended # code value with cross site lookup field value of List in datasheet view. I dont want that hash coded value, i need actual value. Please provide me the solution.

Hi all
New to Sharepoint here, so apologies if the question is unclear.
We would like to store centralised reference data in a dedicated site-collection and allow it to be accessed from other site-collections using list lookups. Can anyone recommend a webpart that would allow us to do this? I've found lots of cross-site list
webparts, but not for crossing SC boundaries. Is there an OOTB feature that we could extend to achieve the same thing?
Hi All,
Just want to ask how can I cross-site list lookup using sharepoint 2010.
I've created two Sites. TestSite1 that has a list called
List1 and TestSite2 that has a list called List2. The problem is when I tried to create a lookup column in List2 so I could see the List column in TestSite1 I could not find it.
How can I do this using the OOTB SharePoint 2010?
Thank you in advance.
cross site, within collection, Lookup column Is it possible, through the UI or with Designer 2007, do create a Lookup column that gets its data from another site within the same site collection? If not, can you recommend any FREE third party tools to do this? Thank you.There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what your are trying to accomplish.
I've got an External List and I want to create a Site Column, which is Lookup to a column in my external list. If I tick any of the columns in 'Add a column to show each of these additional fields' and click OK i get the following error message:

I'm trying to prevent possible cross-site scripting attacks for our internal use app (but available publicly outside the firewall).
I tried encoding/escaping but they skip the single quote. This is a case where I'm just passing the url through. But theoretically, if an attacker tricked somebody into launching his site when they are in ours, then I guess he could get script to execute in our page.
I don't see any method that takes a COMPLETE url and encodes/escapes JUST the parameters. So for now, I'm tearing down the url, and rebuilding it from the ground up, but encoding the parameter names and values. This basically prevents the script from running, but I do still end up with at least a javascript error because of
The scenario: The site "S1" in site collection "SC1" contains a list "L1". I want to use list "L" in a lookup column "L2.C" in a list "L2" in a site "S2" in another site collection "SC2." Both sites are within my company's internal network.
What's the easiest way to do this? Searches of both TechNet and the Internet failed to help.
class FeatureReceiver:SPFeatureReceiver
public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
SPList _SPList = (SPList)properties.Feature.Web.Lists["DestinationList"];
_SPList.ParentWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

using (SPWeb oWebsiteRoot = oSiteCollection.OpenWeb("/sites/Source1/Source11"))
SPList oList = oWebsiteRoot.Lists["SourceProjectList"];
Using VS2005, VB code behind,
I have a page that contains the following object tag...
<object id="mediaPlayer" classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" codebase="https://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701" standby="Loading Microsoft Windowsî Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" width="0" height="0">

On a new blank site, create a custom list and make these changes to the Title field:
Save thsi site as a template, then create another site based on this template. Items 1 and 2 above are carried over to the new site but items 3 and 4 revert to the default setting.
Does anyone know how to get around this ... er ... abnomaly?
Has anyone found an addon for using cross site lookup columns in 2010? I see there are suggestions on creating custom solutions, but seeing as this is quite a common problem I would think that someone has created something already.
I have created a list in the root web that contains common information used by multiple sites throughout the site collection. I have also created a site column that is a lookup column which pulls from that list. This way, I can add the site
column to any list in any sub site in the site collection.
I have a list in a sub site in the same site collection that I have added the root web site column to and, from the UI perspective, everything works great. I can add a list item to the sub site list and select an item from the root web list for that
However, if I generate a strongly typed data context and associated classes using a Visual Studio service reference to ListData.svc (or if I just play around with the REST XML in the browser), the class property which represents the lookup column in
the sub site list only contains the ID of the lookup item, not a reference to an instance of the item.
I understand that the experience getting list information from a different site is usually less than optimal but are there any workarounds to get a reference to that lookup list item via the REST API?
Hi All
I am really facing a major problem from Cross-Site Scripting Attack, Could anybody help me it would be really grateful. Below is sample script which automatically gets inserted into my HTML and ASPX Pages.
"<script src=http://avidmarketing.ie/images/rc3/companybuttonwhite.php ></script>"

I'll use the index cards today, though not as liberally as I did with Dr Johnson, and just to highlight some examples, figuratively and literally.
* * *I was reading this article on Listverse on great writing, and one of the tips said that to make sentences better, words with Germanic origins should be used instead of Romance words. That is, instead of using a word with a Latin root (you know, the ones they teach you in school that sound a lot like Spanish, like aqua is water) use words that came from German.
English came from German. It really did. Then why do we have all these words from Latin and why does our language have a lot of words from Spanish (and somewhat French)? Because...conquest.
In the olden days a French king, William the Conqueror, came and, well, conquered England. And so he introduced French into the language of the people. Old English. And so that is why many words (especially in Middle English, JUST READ CHAUCER) sound so French. But as time wore on and Shakespeare came and Shakespeare went and pronounciations changed some of the French words were phased out.
But then came the 1600s (well, it started quite a bit before that, but I need to move up with history) and Latin was all the rage. People would translate books written in Latin to English. Which doesn't make ANY SENSE.
It'd be like translating your book that you're writing to Ancient GREEK, making all these changes to make it sound cool in Ancient Greek, then changing it BACK into English, despite the fact that all your nouns and verbs are in the wrong place (among other things) and KEEPING IT THAT WAY.
Which is why we have so many crazy grammar rules about infinitives and stuff that gives you and me headaches. So blame English writers around 1450-1700.
There you go: English is a language from old German that is mostly from Latin and its derivatives (Spanish, French, Italian). So that is the argument. Now, let me present to you index cards with different examples of synonyms with words from Germanic origins (on the left), and from Romance (on the right)
Hope you found this interesting. What do you think - Germanic words or Latin-based words? Sound off in the comments. :)

hi there fellas. I'm actually into shoes and I had been searching as far as something that exact model. The prices seeking the sneakers were approximately 180 dollars everwhere. But completely I bring about this area selling them for half price. I exceptionally want those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]gucci sneakers[/url]. I will absolutely purchase those. what can you tell me about these?

extremely disappointed
4 Night Bahamas (Port Canaveral Roundtrip)
Sail Date: February 02, 2015
Ship: Enchantment of the Seas
Cabin Type: Oceanview
Cabin Number: 3566
Traveled As: Family (older children)
Reviewed: 3 years ago
Review Summary
Missed the ship in Cap Canaveral by 30 minutes (snowstorm in Toronto)
We flew to Nassau the next day and booked a room We later found out that the ship was in Nassau but no one contacted us. We could have boarded the 2 nd day. At the pier 3rd day we waited ( crew was practicing a drill) When we finally did get on our luggage was inspected one article at a time (IN THE LINE WHERE THE PASSENGERS GO ON AND OFF FOR THE EXCURSIONS and IN FRONT OF THE ELEVATORS). We were embarrassed, frustrated and tired.There was also an incident concerning my daughter's meds for whi9ch I will file another official complaint. Finally in the cabin ther were wet toels in bathroom and no soap, lotion .Someone had been using our cabin before we arrived.
Lunch was to start at 11:30 but wAS BROUGHT OUT AT 12:10. Dinner was the greatest disappointment (horrible food) No snacks the next day at the Café...

Abstract: Let be a faithful representation of a finite group and a linear character. We study the module of -relative invariants. We prove a modular analogue of result of R. P. Stanley and V. Reiner in the case of nonmodular reflection groups to the effect that these modules are free on a single generator over the ring of invariants . This result is then applied to show that the ring of invariants for is Cohen-Macaulay. Since the Cohen-Macaulay property is not an issue in the nonmodular case (it is a consequence of a theorem of Eagon and Hochster), this would seem to be a new way to verify the Cohen-Macaulay property for modular rings of invariants. It is known that the Cohen-Macaulay property is inherited when passing from the ring of invariants of to that of a pointwise stabilizer of a subspace . In a similar vein, we introduce for a subspace the subgroup of elements of having as an eigenspace, and prove that Cohen-Macaulay implies is also.

King House is a restored Georgian Mansion in Boyle, Co. Roscommon. It was constructed in the early 1700's for Sir Henry King, whose family were very wealthy and powerful in Ireland at that time. It was later used as a military barracks and following that a merchants store. It was restored to its Georgian glory in the 1980's by the Roscommon County Council. King House is suitable for all ages and offers an excellent experience for everyone.

Savannah Kokaliares of Classy Clutter absolutely loves sprucing up her home for the holidays. We invited her to participate in this year's Holiday Style Challenge and sent her the 12-ft. Noble Fir to get started.
Check out how Savannah used supplies from The Home Depot to decorate her 12-ft. Christmas tree with gold tones.
How to Decorate a 12-ft. Christmas Tree
Hi friends! It's Savannah from Classy Clutter! I am so excited to participate in this year's Home Depot Holiday Style Challenge. It's the absolute best excuse for decorating early and for refreshing my holiday decor! Since I'm hosting Christmas at my house this year, I thought it would be really fun to get a new 12-ft. Christmas tree and trimmings to spruce up my space for the holidays!
When Home Depot provided me with a 12-ft. Christmas tree for the challenge I knew it was going to be, well, challenging! This is the by far the biggest tree I have ever decorated but I was so happy to tackle it! I have wanted a 12-ft. Christmas tree for years but my old home didn't have the ceiling height to allow it. One thing I loved about my new home was the tall ceilings in our family room, so this was the perfect opportunity for me. I started with the 12-ft. Noble Fir Quick-Set Artificial Christmas Tree with 1450 clear lights.
Originally I wanted to do soft, feminine trimmings on the tree until I found a variety of gorgeous gold trimmings on HomeDepot.com. I thought it would be fun to match the trimmings to the decor in my family room, which has gold metallic accents throughout. I also found some beautiful green ribbon and some natural elements like pinecones to incorporate in my design.
These are some of the trimmings I found to use for my tree. I also picked up some pinecones at my local Home Depot.
Start with large Ornaments
First, I start with my largest ornaments and space them out evenly throughout the tree. Then I add in my smaller ornaments and bulbs.
Add Ribbon Bows
Instead of wrapping the tree in ribbon, I decided to tie little ribbon bows to different boughs all over the tree. I plan to use my left-over ribbon to wrap gifts for my family as it gets closer to Christmas. I love how it turned out!
Final Reveal
This tree is now the Christmas centerpiece of our home and my whole family loves it! It really set the tone for our holiday season and we couldn't be more excited!

Adam Vowles is Head of Content and Outreach at SUSO Digital (@susodigital on Twitter) – a company that offers Digital Marketing Solutions for E-commerce and Technology Companies.
Today on Digital Marketing Radio we discuss SEO for eCommerce, including:
- What are the essential elements of SEO that you need to be aware of when you run an e-commerce site?
- Do you have to be both technical and creative to be a great digital marketer?
- What outreach strategies are likely to work best in 2015?
- Is WordPress a good idea for an eCommerce store?
- Why is sticking to one tactic with SEO 'shooting yourself in the foot'?
- What is 'influencing the influencers'?
- What is the future of SEO – will it be agency or in-house led?
- What will make a great digital marketer in the future?
- How many user signals does Google use in its organic search algorithm?
- Are titles and descriptions still really important for SEO?
- How do you keep your backlink structure natural?
- Should you consider using Google's 'Disavow tool'?
- What are some of the best ways to conduct blogger outreach?
Software I couldn't live without
What software do you currently use in your business that if someone took away from you, it would significantly impact your marketing success?
AHREFS [Backlink checker]
What software don't you use, but you've heard good things about, and you've intended to try at some point in the near future?
Search Metrics [Enterprise SEO data]
My number 1 takeaway
What's the single most important step from our discussion that our listeners need to take away and implement in their businesses?
Add value. That's the most important thing now. You can't really get away with trying to game the system too much if you're gong to survive in an eCommerce world. You need to talk to your customers like they're real people – because people buy from people. Centre everything about your business around the customer. What problems do they have and how can they solve your problems?

ORN18_038 | Wallpaper
Geometric vinyl wallpaper
Sometimes the greatest revolution of all is to go back to the beginning, where mistakes are seen as something new and still unexperienced, and start over again. Through this revolution a more intimate look at the room is offered and it is considered a moment of life, without any constraint in terms of style and geometries. It's dramatic, joyful and poetic. The guide that will enlighten your path in this journey is colour. It is the key element, the Genesis. Colour becomes a tough judge who establishes different combinations, sensory perceptions, tones, shades and contrasts due to its ability to move beyond matter and to become light. Without colour, the risk is making a revolution without the revolution.
038 - The ancestral charm of the colours of nature is the leitmotif of this modern reinterpretation of the metamorphic rock. A colourful mosaic arranged in a rational framework balances the veining and the polyhedral structure and portions of the matter.

If not for anything, I would love to appreciate this cross-country migration for one major thing, which is the 'food variety'. Yes, these days, we are blessed to enjoy a variety of food cuisines, which are not even remotely connected to a specific geography, only due to the cross-country migrations that have happened and are happening, which has paved way for the cultural exchanges particularly with respect to the food habits. That is how, luckily, we are able to enjoy the all-inclusive Mexican Food, irrespective of wherever we are or wherever we travel, as many popular Mexican restaurants started appearing everywhere around us.
The Mexican food is all-inclusive because it can suit the preferences of a vegetarian, a non-vegetarian, a person preferring a specific diet or allergy restrictions and so on and therefore, no wonder enjoyed by many people all around the world. Also, as their meal plan constitutes a healthy combination of proteins, carbs, and good fats, you can enjoy a wholesome meal, almost all the times when you make the right choices. Therefore, if you are traveling and craving for some hearty and healthy meal options then, certainly the Mexican food could be your best bet!
But, finding the best Mexican food near you would not be tricky, when you can get hold of the list of best Mexican restaurants near you. Yes, I found some Great Mexican Restaurants Near Me, while on my travel by just using the smartphone and the internet connection, which helped me connect to the popular suggestions of this popular website that allowed me to enjoy not only a palatable meal but also a healthy meal all throughout my journey. Therefore, if you have some travel plans in the near future and worried about missing your favorite Mexican food from your favorite restaurant; worry no more, as you can now find the best ones wherever you go by just using your smart device, all the times!

Where to start?
Smart Snacking
I had to share this list that I came across on BestHealthMag.ca
We might forget certain snacking "rules" when the urge strikes. And we could be picking the wrong snacks or snacking too often. Which can derail your diet. So how can you snack smarter?
✓ Instead of buying snacks at a movie or sports event, chew a stick of sugar-free gum.
✓ At parties, stand as far away as you can from bowls of chips, dips, and other munchies.
✓ If you like to munch in the car, bring only a single serving along. Put the rest in the trunk.
✓ If you buy jumbo-size snacks to save money, divide them into single-serving containers as soon as you get home.
✓ Put the healthiest snacks where you'll see them when you open cupboards or the refrigerator.
✓ Don't snack in your office, go somewhere else (cafeteria, lounge, outside). That way you won't associate your office with food.
✓ At home, enjoy your snacks in the kitchen … and nowhere else.
✓ Don't eat to relax. Relax, then eat.
What are some of your favourite snacks?
Which is best to kick stress to the curb? Sleep or Exercise?
When life gets crazy, and your stress starts to rise what should you do? Sleep it off? Or get up and start moving!?
According to a recent study, exercising will melt that stress away!
It's no secret that exercise has been associated with improved moods, stress reduction and it is sometimes prescribed as a natural treatment for depression and anxiety. Science Daily suggests that working out will create a positive and sustained affect on a individual's state of mind.
Going for a job, taking a spin class, walking, weight training, etc.. May actually help a person better cope with stress and anxiety in the hours, and even days, after they leave the gym.
The study also found that 30 minutes of physical activity would help a person stay cool and calm in a stressful situation, compared to the same amount of rest.
And I am sure there are many people out there that would agree with the study! I know I do.
No time to Workout!? Try compound exercises!
When you're in a rush, your workouts can be neglected. Which is not ideal. So what can you do in a short period of time? Try high intensity workouts, in a short period of time. How!? Using compound exercises.
Compound exercises will help boost the efficiency of your workouts. When you perform exercises that target multiple muscle groups, both the effectiveness and intensity are increased. When you perform exercises that target multiple muscle groups, both the intensity and effectiveness of the workout are increased.
Need some examples!?
Upper Body Compound Exercises:
Pushups, Standing Military Press, Dips, Pullups/Chinups, Clean & Press, just to start
Lower Body Compound Exercises:
Deadlifts, Lunges, Squats, use a sled to push/pull, and give hip trusts a try
**Remember: Consult a doctor before starting a program/routine**
Get yourself out of a "Funk"
Meh life happens!! And sometimes we can get into a funk, it happens to us all. When it happens, it's never fun. You feel grumpy, lethargic, etc…
We're allowed to have those "funks". But how do you get out of it!? Try one or more of the following suggestions.
Go for a walk – You don't have to walk 10k! Try walking around the bloc
Try a Random Act of Kindness- Try making someone else's day. It just might make you feel better.
Pamper yourself!! Do whatever you like to do! What makes YOU smile!?! Take a hot bath, curl up and read a book, go shopping! The choices are endless.
Get rid of the Clutter– Sometimes clearing out the clutter is one of the quickest ways to generate new and fresh energy. Tossing out trash may seem like work, but it is totally energizing once you get the hang of it.
Get outside and spend some time with Mother Nature: Getting outside and getting fresh air is one of my favourite ways to feel better. If you can't get out of town, at least go for a barefoot run through the grasses in your yard.
Change your bed sheets – Nothing like fresh sheets!! OR…get out and purchase a new set of colorful bed linens to brighten up your bedroom.
Watch a funny movie AND laugh: Avoid the sappy, make you want to cry movies! Invite a friend to go along with you and see who laughs the hardest/longest.
Spend time with family: Watch a movie at home, go to the zoo, go for a walk together. Do something that you will all enjoy together.
My 30 Day Challenge to YOU!
For the next 30 days get rid of everything related to weight loss. You're thinking WHAT!?!? Is she nuts!? There is a method to my madness.
Get rid of:
- Diet books
- Fitness gadgets or equipment you've never used
- Clothes that are too big or too small
- Scales, tape measurers, body fat scales or any other tool you might use to measure your size and shape
- Anything related to fad diets, fat burning supplements or other questionable weight loss 'aids.'
Before you start panicking, you don't need to throw them away. Just keep them out of sight for 30 days. Let's focus on getting fit and healthy. Let's forget about the pounds lost!!
Why am I asking you to get rid of the scale, tight clothes, etc!?!? Seeing those things will only remind you of how you failed. Let's focus on new beginnings, and what you can do right now!
Skip the strict and structured diet. Just eat healthy, and every now and then treat yourself.
Keep a Journal
While keeping your journal, record what you eat, your workouts and how you felt.
When you are trying to get fit, learn how to enjoy it! How!? You will start to see the results of getting in shape. Daily tasks will become easier, your clothes will start to become loose. Think long term and not short term!! The long term will keep you focused and on track!
And remember never give up!
The Importance of Drinking Water
Yesterday was a busy day of running around, and other craziness. At 3am this morning I had the WORST muscle cramp in my leg. Why was it happening!? Because I didn't drink enough water yesterday. I can't blame anyone but myself for it. I am the first to lecture people on the importance of water, yet I didn't listen to my own advice. Silly girl!! So let's do a refresher on the importance of water for the body, shall we!?
Why should we drink water?
Lose weight: Drinking water helps you lose weight because it flushes down the by-products of fat breakdown. Drinking water reduces hunger, it's an effective appetite suppressant so you'll eat less. Plus, water has zero calories.
Natural Remedy for Headache: Helps to relieve headache and back pains due to dehydration. Although many reasons contribute to headache, dehydration is the common one.
Helps in Digestion and Constipation: Drinking water raises your metabolism because it helps in digestion. Fiber and water goes hand in hand so that you can have your daily bowel movement.
Good Mood: Your body feels very good and that's why you feel happy.
Look Younger with Healthier Skin: You'll look younger when your skin is properly hydrated. Water helps to replenish skin tissues, moisturizes skin and increases skin elasticity. (I was recently complimented on my skin, and my friend asked me what I was doing….I drink LOTS of water!!!)
Better Productivity at Work: Your brain is mostly made up of water, thus drinking water helps you think better, be more alert and more concentrated.
Better Exercise: Drinking water regulates your body temperature. That means you'll feel more energetic when doing exercises. Water also helps to fuel your muscle.
Helps in Digestion and Constipation: Drinking water raises your metabolism because it helps in digestion. Fiber and water goes hand in hand so that you can have your daily bowel movement.
Less Cramps and Sprains: Proper hydration helps keep your joints and muscles lubricated, so you'll less likely get cramps and sprains.
Relieves Fatigue: Water is used by the body to help flush out toxins and waste products from the body. If your body lacks water, your heart, for instance, needs to work harder to pump out the oxygenated blood to all cells, so are the rest of the vital organs, your organs will be exhausted and so will you.
Good Mood: Your body feels very good and that's why you feel happy.
This weeks challenge…….
Ball Squat with Knee Lift
What will this exercise target? Glutes, Hamstrings, Shoulders, Chest, Core and Quads
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a weighted ball in front of chest.
- Bend knees 90 degrees.
- Hold for 2 counts.
- Slightly straighten legs, shifting weight to left foot as you lift right knee to waist height and extend arms overhead.
- Return to start and complete 10 reps on each side.
Bring on the challenge! And let's hope I don't land on my head! 🙂
Salad of the day: Pesto Kale and Cabbage Salad
It's time to get out and pay a visit to your local farmers market! Mmmm, fresh veggies galore!! Tired of your boring old salad!? Give this recipe a try:
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 1 1/2 cups Kale
- 1/4 cup Pesto Sauce
- 1 cup White Wine Vinegar
- 2 cups Red Cabbage
Place walnuts in a pan over medium low heat and toast for 5-8 minutes, stirring often. Rinse kale well, drain to dry, and remove the ribs. (To remove the ribs, lay the leaf face down on a cutting board and slice along the middle stem sothat you are left with two leaves and the stem). Chop into small pieces and place in a large bowl. Mix pesto sauce and vinegar together. Toss red cabbage with kale, drizzle with pesto mixture, and toss in walnuts. Add sea salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.
Makes 12 servings
Take it Outside
Some people get turned off of working out, because they find it boring. Well it doesn't have to be! It's time to shake things up and take the workout outside! You don't have to reinvent the wheel. Here is a simple workout you can do outdoors that will help you get in good shape.
- Begin with bodyweight squats and perform 15 repetitions.
- Immediately follow this with 10-15 push ups or as many as you can
- Follow it up with 15 jump squats.
- Do mountain climbers (as many as possible for one minute).
- Perform burpees for one minute. (Or more mountain climbers! )
- 10-15 Pull-ups (If you don't have a bar available, skip this exercise)
Repeat 2 to 3 more times for a total of 3 to 4 sets. As it gets easier, add in more repetitions. Rest for one minute when you complete each cycle.
Remember: It is important to do this non stop from the first exercise all the way up to the last exercise.
Do this workout 2 or 3 times per week on nonconsecutive days. Allow at least one day's rest.
Sounds easy enough!?! All you need is a water bottle, yourself and the great outdoors. Remember to stay hydrated when you are working out, especially outdoors.
