It must be observed, however, that in this phase usage of Anadur should be combined with stronger androgenic steroids such as Parabolan or Testosterone propionatein order to enhance the hypertrophic effect of the drugs while eliminating the vasoconstrictive effects which can occur with anadrylium and testosterone alone.
Anadur can be taken at any time prior to and during the performance of the drug test, parabolan uk.
Anadur is sometimes administered subcutaneously to treat the pain after the surgery and the injection can be considered a form of anastrozole as it is often taken as a daily supplement, not just for pain but also for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, parabolan uk.
It cannot be used if there is an indication for corticosteroids, but an alternative would be to simply use a steroid that cannot be converted to anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective steroids such as Testosterone propionate or Mestarol.
The injection may be recommended for men between the ages of 45 and 55, but has not been shown to be effective in younger men (below age 45), anabolic steroids only cycle.

A second injection may be recommended after a period of 2 to 3 weeks in conjunction with an aromatase inhibitor such as Fludarabine or Levaquin if a dose can be achieved.
The injection is generally best followed by an aromatase blocker, such as Fludarabine or Levaquin, or an anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective steroids such as Mestarol.

As test 400 is a steroid, although other types of anabolic steroids produce a similar effect since they too are structurally the same in their compounds, yet Test 400 is unmatchedin its performance and consistency, the reason why it is the gold standard in any testosterone or anabolic steroid category. The reason why your testosterone level may be low is because you have an imbalance of enzymes and your liver is not receiving the proper breakdown of the testosterone. This lack of protein breakdown also affects your muscles, as the liver's ability to use certain hormones is restricted by the lack of protein breakdown. Testosterone is essential for proper growth of your bone, hair, glands and adrenal glands. In general, when there is a low testosterone level, an enlarged prostate gland cannot create and secrete enough testosterone. Due to the absence of testosterone secretion, the prostate cannot support the development of the prostate. If you cannot maintain a normal testosterone level and you are concerned about the lack of testosterone, we suggest you visit one of our testosterone testing centers and they can test your testosterone level. The most common cause of testicular atrophy is from testosterone deficiency. Testosterone is made from the testosterone precursor, aldosterone. When in deficiency, testosterone can't be broken down, so it is the only thing it can be found in deficiency is testosterone, aldosterone. When testosterone is deficient, you can no longer build your testosterone-producing glands, since the body can't get rid of the hormone. Because it cannot be created in the body, it is useless, and testosterone can only be built from the other hormones. It is this inability to build testosterone, that the normal hormone is vital for maintaining the testosterone levels of the body. This is usually true when someone has low testosterone levels, and can't get enough testosterone from the hormone alone. Other than that, the other normal hormone to maintain a normal testosterone level is follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which stimulates the production of testosterone into a functional testosterone. A person that does not produce enough testosterone, or does not have enough follicle-stimulating hormone, such an individual will have reduced levels of testicular volume. This is why many men with low testosterone levels, have a very small and shrunken testicles. The male sex hormone is composed of 3 different hormones: estradiol, testosterone and DHT. In females, estradiol is present in high concentration, while the other three hormones, including DHT, do not take much of a role. The DHT, however, may have a much greater effect on the male sex hormone compared to the other 3 hormones. Studies have shown that the levels of Related Article:

PSNI data breach left officers vulnerable
A huge data breach, including the personal information of every officer in the Northern Ireland Police Service (PSNI), has left personnel concerned for their safety. The PSNI data breach revealed important information about those who were affected.
In response to a Freedom of Information (FoI) request, the police department accidentally revealed the names, ranks, and other personal information. The "routine inquiry" had requested a breakdown of the number of officers of each level in the PSNI, which was released online, according to PSNI assistant chief constable Chris Todd during a news conference in Belfast on Tuesday.
Oregon DMV data breach concerns 3.5 million people
Worryingly, the PSNI data breach revealed details that might have serious security consequences. The data revealed the identities of individuals involved in sensitive areas such as the organized crime unit, intelligence officers stationed at key transportation hubs, officers in the surveillance division, and close to 40 PSNI employees working at MI5's headquarters in Holywood, according to the Belfast Telegraph.
Officials apologized after the PSNI data breach
The Northern Ireland Police Service has apologized after information on all of the force's serving officers and staff was leaked due to a data breach.
PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Chris Todd told a news conference in Belfast that the surname, initial, rank or grade, location, and departments of all present officers had been unintentionally released in response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request.
Do you know which data breaches you have fallen victim to?
"In terms of the security for individuals, there's nothing at the moment to suggest there's any immediate security concerns, but we have put actions in place to ensure that if anything does arise we will be aware of that, and then we can mitigate accordingly, This is human error. We've looked into the circumstances, we'll continue with our investigation, but the very early considerations are that this is simple human error and the people who have been involved in the process have acted in good faith," said Chris Todd.

Lane doesn't have any friends yet.
While Flash Point lacks the focus or in-depth story a typical Donnie… More While Flash Point lacks the focus or in-depth story a typical Donnie Yen picture has, there is still enough toward the final half hour to keep this film on the list to watch. Anything Donnie Yen choreographed is definitely worth a watch in the first place, however, the direction doesn't quite match Yen's detail in the fight scenes. Instead of keeping Yen's character a focus of the entire film, we get a slow build to his introduction fully in the movie. Instead, we get introduced to the undercover cop and his relationship with the gang. You did get a good 'boss' fight in the end, but it lacks emotional substance with the uneven story building in the first hour. However, the grapples, elbows and knees are delivered so forcefully you wonder how any of the stunt guys made it out alive. While I've definitely seen better from Yen in past and present films, Flash Point is still enjoyable enough to see him deliver a few good one-liners and fists of fury to make a statement.

An indoor shooting range can be a fun, safe and affordable way to practice your shooting skills. There are many factors to consider when choosing a shooting range. Some ranges are designed for private use, while others are intended for public access. Many indoor shooting ranges require shooters to bring their own firearms, while others require them to rent guns and purchase ammunition. Many ranges also allow shooters to shoot different types of guns, and some will allow you to book a specific shooting experience.
PRIORITIES IN A SHOOTING CLUB
Safety is a top priority at any shooting range, so make sure to wear hearing and eye protection. Indoor shooting ranges produce 140 dB of noise, so it’s important to protect your ears and eyes from these loud sounds. You should also wear eye protection, and eyeglasses that have a prescription can be a good option. Remember to read and understand the rules thoroughly. Incorrect use of safety equipment may lead to a disciplinary action or permanent ban.
The lighting at an indoor shooting range can be very different from that of an outdoor one. In addition to using an automated target placement system, an indoor range may have angled plates that contain collectors to minimize the impact of bullet fragments. Additionally, the range may have rubber curtains to prevent bullet fragments from reaching the target area.

Where Rivers Part
by Kellie Coates Gilbert
Texas Gold Collection
Revell – Contemporary Fiction
Dr. Juliet Ryan has the perfect life, or so it seems. She has dreams of making the world better by providing the best quality assurance for America’s drinking water. She has a great job and is up for a promotion. Her boss believes in her and her abilities. She has a secret boyfriend who got her the job. However, her father, a premier scientist, is determined to expose Corporate America’s greed over food safety. Juliet is sure her father is wrong since she is at the forefront and knows her boss wants food safety before more money. Unfortunately, something sinister is happening in the background. Young children are dying in San Antonio, and no one knows why. As the situation escalates, Juliet is unsure of who to trust and why she even needs to feel that way. Can she trust the people that she works for? Can she trust the man she cares for? Will her father only be proven correct? Can she figure out what is happening before more people suffer and die? Does God even care in the midst of such a storm?
I really enjoyed reading this story since I majored in biology and took a class on food microbiology. When I began reading, I was instantly transported back to my college classes and that was fun for me. The author was very good at explaining things that the general public may not be aware of. I even learned some new things. The author’s real life experience really made the story seem so real. When I started reading, I didn’t know what to expect from the cover. The cover picture is nice but I honestly didn’t realize the story was modern from the cover and title. This story reads more like a mystery than a romance which is not what I was expecting but that’s okay. I still enjoyed the characters and their struggles and triumphs.
I recommend this book to anyone looking for a book with mystery and science with a hint of romance thrown in.
I received this book for free from Revell in exchange for a review.

New York rapper French Montana recently talked about his personal experience dating famous female celebrities. Instead of biting his tongue, French offered up some serious advice.
In a new interview, Montana explained the importance of keeping personal and public things separate.
“Someone who’s always in the spotlight I feel like it takes the focus from what you do. When I have my experiences it always overshadows my music. Make sure that you in it for the right reasons. It’s like you on a boat. The moment you let the water in it’s like the outside world. You just want to be on your boat and enjoy your vibe when you are with someone.” (Page Six)
Last month, Montana made social media sizzle courtesy of a steamy Instagram pic featuring an unknown curvy woman.
Recently, hip-hop model Blac Chyna showed Montana’s new Jungle Rules album some support.

Q&A with Lauren Baratz-Logsted
Baratz is like the Barrett in Elizabeth Barrett Browning if it were plural. Logsted is how it looks except everyone always wants to shove an 'a' in there to make it Logstead.
2. In college you worked as a doughnut salesperson. Do you have a favorite kind of doughnut?
3. Before writing full time you worked many jobs. Which was your least favorite?
Honestly, none. Independent bookseller, PW reviewer, freelance editor, sort-of librarian, window washer - each somehow contributed toward making me the writer I am today (such as that is!).
4. In your newest book, Little Women & Me, Emily want's to 're-write' Little Women. Have you ever wanted to do this with a particular book (other than Little Women)?
There are characters I've been so in love with on the page - Gatsby, or Phineas from A Separate Peace - that I sometimes wished I could jump in the pages and save them. That said, I wouldn't change a thing in either book. Little Women is the only book I've loved that I also wanted to change. Usually, if I want to change a book, it's because the book is really bad. But we won't talk about those!
5. Who is your favorite character in Little Women?
Jo. As much as Emily pokes fun at Jo in Little Women & Me - and I let her! - Jo's one of the prime reasons I fell in love with the book while growing up. And, like many women writers, Jo's probably a prime reason I fell in love with the idea of being a writer.
6. You've written several novels that are a re-telling of sorts of well-known stories, such as Z: A Novel (The Great Gatsby) and Crazy Beautiful (Beauty and the Beast). Why do you think these classic stories still appeal to readers?
I think classics become that because they speak to readers not just of their own time but for all time. I love taking classics and trying to find a new way to tell an old story. For example, The Great Gatsby is my all-time favorite novel by a dead writer. When I created Z: A Novel, I took the main template - mystery party-thrower suffers a fall from grace - only in my version the Gatsby figure is a contemporary window washer (do you see how my odd-jobs history plays into this?) who may or may not be Zorro. Instead of being a tragic novel, my version has moments of tragedy but it's also a comedy and a romance and an adventure - there's even swordplay! Also, in my version? No one dies in a swimming pool.
7. You write books for all ages. Which is the hardest age group to write for and why?
They all have their joys and challenges. The funny thing is, people think writing for teens must be easier than writing for adults and writing for children must be easier still. But the reverse is true. The younger the reader, the shorter the attention span and the more demands these days on that attention through ever-increasing technology with all of its distractions. Shorter attention means that, as a writer, you'd better be on your toes and fascinating every second!
8. What do you do when you're not writing?
You mean it's possible to do something else? Actually, I read, almost obsessively. I'm also a big TV head.
9. What projects do you have planned for the future?
At least a little bit more of everything, I hope! Also, I have a new pet project out that's ebook only, THE DISRESPECTFUL INTERVIEWER: Thirteen Interviews with Authors. It's extremely offbeat and you can see more about if here if you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BZU8DDU
10. What is the best book you've read this year?
THE ANTAGONIST by Lynn Coady, hands down.
Thanks Lauren! It's great having you here! To find out more information on Lauren check out her website. Also check out her latest books,Little Women and Me and The Disrespectful Interviewer: Thirteen Interviews with Authors.( I recently finished this book and it's great.) Both books are available in stores.

It is not often that you find an activity that you love doing and that’s also very good for your body. Skiing benefits the body in many ways and offers not only strength training, but cardiovascular exercise as well. As the ski season approaches, you will need to get in shape to be prepared to handle the extreme situations out on the slopes.
Below is a summary of some of the major health benefits you enjoy when you get out on the slopes regularly all winter long, and some of the types of exercise you need to get to prepare for the season.
- Weight loss – Experts estimate that skiers can lose as much as five pounds after only a week on holiday skiing. Did you know that one day of skiing can result in your shedding as much as 3,000 calories? This is much more significant than a mere workout at the gym. You burn more calories when skiing down steeper slopes due to the fact that the body must exert more energy to stay balanced and in control.
- Endurance – The cardiovascular exercise you acquire when you ski improves your endurance and leads to better overall health. Yet you need to prepare in advance to prevent yourself from having a rough time getting into the swing of things at the beginning of the season. You can engage in cardiovascular exercises such as swimming, running, and biking to prepare. While you could also get this type of exercise if you buy exercise equipment online once the season starts, skiing is a more enjoyable way. When you ski, your heart rate is elevated and your muscles can get more oxygen. While you are burning calories, your body is becoming more fit and accustomed to handling tougher and tougher exertion.
- Strength – Just about every major muscle group in the body is worked when you ski. Skiing is so strenuous on your muscles that you might want to take some time to stretch beforehand, as you are likely to be sore the day after a strenuous ski outing. Additionally, you should stretch your muscles regularly and do some weight training in the weeks preceding the start of the ski season. Don’t assume that skiing only works your legs. It is also very hard on your abdominal muscles and your arms. You should avoid skiing immediately after lunch, as it helps the muscles if you ski when your body has had some time to digest.
Sometimes the winter time weather puts some obstacles up that prevent us from getting the exercise we need or making exercise less enjoyable. The chilling cold can inspire thoughts of Caribbean and desires to book trips to warmer climates. Fortunately, skiing is a possibility when it’s cold outside and there’s snow on the ground.
The next time you hit the slopes, keep your health and fitness in mind. You can ski to your heart’s content and enjoy the activity much more while knowing that you are providing your body with much needed exercise. Enjoy the winter by indulging in your favorite wintertime sport.

When at the beginning of the season I was betting on Maccabi Tel Aviv to win the Euroleague at the odd 71.00 on 888sport, nobody would say it’s a good deal. But seeing their acquisitions campaign during the summer I was sure they prepare something big. The comeback od Omri Casspi was crucial, but as well the addition of many NBA-ers and for the first time in the last 4 seasons, Maccabi was looking impressive, having one of the largest rotation in Europe.
Yesterday, some of the experts gave Baskonia the first chance to win. I said nothing but for me the final result: 83-113 for the Israeli powerhouse is no surprise. The encounter faced exactly in a symbolical way two of the teams with different trajectory this season: Baskonia having no chance to reach the Final4, while Maccabi Tel Aviv, in the best shape, is able to be there in May 2020.
The big margin of the victory, in spite of the long journey made by Maccabi and Casspi’s absence, says a lot about the true value of each squad. Baskonia is playing very weak on both side of the court and only Toko Shengelia (31 points) and Patricio Garino (24 points) cannot take the team to the win. The majority of their players were almost “absent” yesterday, scoring very low numbers.
I hope this chemistry between the Maccabi players will remain like this for the future games and if this will happen they will be one of the strongest title contenders this Euroleague season as I said before the competition even started. They are in much better shape right now than many other big teams like CSKA, Fenerbahce, Olympiacos and so on. The home-court advantage in the Euroleague’s playoff would help Maccabi a lot to fulfil their dream to reach another Final 4.

TO people who track government spending, last week's higher federal-deficit estimates came as no surprise. A $50 billion to $60 billion jump in the deficit projected for fiscal 1997 - to well over $300 billion - is very much in line with current spending trends, according to many economists, including some who advise Clinton.
The entitlements outlays that make up the single largest chunk of the federal budget are climbing relentlessly. The area of greatest increase is public spending for health care.
Medicare, the federal health-insurance program for the elderly and disabled, is expected to double over the next six years, reaching $216 billion. The program for the poor, Medicaid, will follow suit, reaching $156 billion by 1998.
So, while some of Clinton's emphasis on enhanced "public investment" to stimulate the economy may run afoul of deficit reduction, another of his central themes - health-care reform - is critical to any meaningful attack on the deficit.
The question is how to give the government a role within a reformed system of care that doesn't hike the federal medical bill even further. Some states, like Oregon and Hawaii, are experimenting with systems that more realistically set rules concerning what can go on the public tab. The Clinton advisers may have to take a hard second look at such approaches.
Minus far-reaching changes in entitlements programs, the deficit-reduction picture is dim. Defense spending will continue to decline as the armed forces are reconfigured to meet current needs. But the growing urgency of peacekeeping missions makes it clear that cuts of the magnitude necessary to significantly shrink $300 billion deficits won't come from defense alone.
Another option is increased revenues. The slowly recovering economy won't soon produce an income-tax bonanza for Uncle Sam, and the higher taxes on the rich promised by Clinton won't rake in enough to change the deficit outlook. Higher federal excise taxes? The gasoline tax is usually mentioned in this context, but the president-elect is opposed to a big hike in the gas tax, and only a big hike would have much effect on the deficit.
Inevitably, the deficit discussion has to return to entitlements. If Clinton is as worried about the economic drag produced by federal red ink as he claims to be, and if he really means to maintain at least the spirit of his promise to halve the deficit by the end of his first term, he has to enter this politically thorny path.
And health care, which he has vowed to reform in any case, is the place to start.

I think all photographers dream about the big adventure – travelling to some remote place at the end of the world where we will capture the best ever photos, make the ultimate photo essay and just be totally immersed in an experience so deep and profound both photographically and spiritually speaking. I certainly have – and I have also been blessed and lucky in that I have been able to travel to and photograph many electrifying places.
But more and more I have come to realise that the best pictures aren’t necessarily found at the end of the world. They are found in your own backyard. Figuratively – and for me also literarily – speaking. When we travel to those far-off and, yes, exciting places it’s just too easy to be captured by the exotic and different in this world we meet around every corner. Our pictures never become more than superficial and shallow clichés. While on the home ground you know the deeper relationships, the profound human aspects and your own connections to what you photograph.
I can’t let go of thinking about Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist. In this clever fable, a young shepherd sets out on a dangerous mission to seek a treasure, only to discover that it was hidden in his own backyard. This is a universal wisdom portrayed in many books, religious and traditions, but it is one that we often dismiss. Instead of exploring backyards, we become young shepherds, going off on a mission.
The fullness of experience and the richness of treasures are only discovered when we realize they are within. Creativity and vision are available to all who are willing to listen to the wise words of Lao Tzu: «Be still and let the mud settle.»
For me it means to sit down in my backyard. Be still. Listen. Take in the full world that is in everything. At home. Right now. Where I am. It’s just too easy to run around aimlessly and frenetically, searching for images. Particularly when we are on this big adventure of our life time. We can’t risk not getting the picture. And end up missing them all. I truly believe if you can’t take great image in your own places, you won’t get them travelling to the end of the world.
By this I don’t mean to say that there is anything wrong with travelling. I for one certainly will continue to enjoy travelling to new places, learn about new cultures, get to know new friends, meet other aspects of human lives and thus broaden my horizon. I just want to point out that the profound and engaging pictures that touch others might be found closer to home. We certainly don’t have to travel to the end of the world. As I have already mentioned I use my backyard to let go of everything else, take pictures without any pretentious motives, just find myself and sink into a deep almost spiritual experience. Like I did the other day. Nothing ground breaking, but just a lovely free time with myself and my senses wide open.


The US Supreme Court issued a rare decision supporting constitutional gun rights and ruled 6-3 that Americans have the right to carry arms outside of the home and in public. The ruling will affect other states that include California, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
New legislation proposes a national firearm registry that anyone can access. It informs where firearms are stored, requires an $800 license with mandatory “psychological evaluations”, and, if any of the provisions are violated, it could lead to a prison sentence of up to 40 years and a fine of up to $150,000.
It is bizarre that the McCloskeys were charged with tampering with evidence when the office of the prosecuting Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, who was funded by George Soros, ordered the crime lab to reassemble Patricia McCloskey’s handgun to fire as it had been disabled, and the prosecutors tampered with evidence.

The fire department had to evacuate at least 20 people on Monday after a river in West Agder flooded. Many places in the country are reporting weather damage.
Violent winds and an unusual amount of rain have led to widespread flooding and other weather related damage in Telemark, Trøndelag, Rogaland, and elsewhere in the country.
In Lindesnes in West Agder, a motorist’s vehicle was swept away by the flooding River Audna. The Agder police told NTB that the person was driving when the water overtook the car.
In a press release, the police in Agder warned drivers following several serious events related to the weather.
‘The police strongly encourage the public to take the weather into account, and use common sense on the roads.
We especially warn you about driving a car near where there are large bodies of water,’ said Audun Eide, Operations Manager in Agder Police District.
Color Line cancelled the morning ferry from Sandefjord to Strømstad due to the storm, reported Tønsbergs Blad newspaper.
The police in Nordland gave warnings of strong winds, asking for loose objects to be strapped down, and boat moorings checked.
A number of roads are reported closed around the country. According to NRK news, approximately 50 roads are closed in southern Norway due to flooding.

What is a shareholder?
A shareholder is a person (or company) that owns part of a limited company. When a company is incorporated, it issues shares. If you own one or more shares, you’re a shareholder.
Shareholders own a piece of a company and have a vested interest in its success, even if they never set foot in the office. In other words, they have a stake in the company and the value of their shares can go up and down depending on how the business is doing.
If it’s a public limited company, the shares will be listed on the stock exchange and anyone can buy or sell them.
If it’s a private limited company, the shares are usually allocated to the directors or divided between a group of shareholders.
There are several types of shareholders
Say the word ‘shareholders’ and it’s easy to conjure up the image of cigar-smoking billionaires grumbling over opening prices. But the reality is a lot more nuanced. These are the different types of shareholder:
A shareholder with ordinary shares
These include full rights to annual dividend payments (basically, a cut of the profits once a year), and a vote at meetings. They also get a share of any money left over if the company goes bust, though they’re last in the queue for that.
A shareholder with non-voting ordinary shares
Basically, the same rights as ordinary shareholders but (you guessed) without the vote.
A shareholder with preference shares
These shareholders have full rights to dividends but no voice in meetings. The upside is that they’re ahead of ordinary shareholders in the queue for dividends or any money left over if the company goes under. If the company can’t pay a dividend one year, shareholders with ‘cumulative preference’ shares will still get that money when dividends start up again.
A shareholder with redeemable shares
The company can buy these shares back, either on a set date or when the directors choose. Often this happens when an employee leaves the company.
A shareholder with alphabet shares
Alphabet shares are useful if you want to pay dividends at different rates or give different groups of shareholders different rights. Let’s say you’re the company founder and you want to make more people shareholders but make sure the directors still have more rights. Alphabet shares let you do this. But make sure you’re clear about your share structure in your company’s articles of association, so everyone knows what rights come with each type of share.
What shareholders can (and can’t) do
Shareholders usually have a say in company decisions – up to a point. How much say depends on the number and type of shares they own. For instance, they might be able to weigh in on important company decisions and put their hands up in meetings, but they won’t take an active role in running the business unless they’re also a director.
If you’re wondering what’s in it for shareholders, there’s always the matter of money. And there are a few ways for them to make it.
They get annual dividends
In return for owning a share in the company, shareholders might also get a share of the profits in the form of a dividend payment.
They can sell their shares for a profit
If the company is growing and the share price is on the up, shareholders might choose to cash in and sell their shares for a profit.
The benefit of shareholders
There are many things shareholders can offer a limited company. The most obvious is capital – investment in exchange for a stake. In some cases, shareholders can also offer experience and guidance to help move the company forward in the early stages.
Other names for shareholders
You might hear shareholders called members. Cooperatives often use this term to describe shareholders who have a say in the business. It’s also common for people to talk about ‘stakeholders’, although this isn’t the same thing as a shareholder. A stakeholder is a catch-all way of describing anyone who has a ‘stake’ in the company (even down to suppliers) and doesn’t necessarily mean they own shares.
How to issue shares
To form a limited company, you must name at least one shareholder and decide on the number of shares, their value and how you want to allocate them. Just like slicing a birthday cake, you can divide the company into as many shares as you like and pass them around, or leave them with one person.
At this point, the person setting up the company needs to send over information about the shares to Companies House. This is called a statement of capital and includes some basic information:
The company’s share capital
This means the number and type of shares that make up the company. There are no hard and fast rules here – it’s up to the person setting up the company.
Names and addresses of shareholders
The names and addresses of all shareholders, also known as members. There must be at least one name on the list, but there’s no maximum number of shareholders.
They’ll also need to keep Companies House in the loop if there are any changes to this outside of the confirmation statement. This is basically a document to keep Companies House up to date with the company’s directors, shareholders and registered office address at the end of each year.
In a nutshell
A shareholder is a person (or company) that owns shares in a limited company. If you’re about to register a limited company, you’ll need to name at least one shareholder and decide how many shares you want to issue. Remember, if you’re a small business, this can be you – the director and shareholder all rolled into one.

One of the better PHX courses
Pros: In an area that is devoid of trees, this course makes good use of the land to challenge the average player. Elevation changes and a variety of obstacles make this course a good one to play twice in a row to get a good feeling for it.
Cons: The distances are a bit on the short side, and if you like your discs, you might consider a less interesting course.
Other Thoughts: The tee pads are all concrete with some very interesting designs in the cement. Check out the photos to see how sweet some of them are.
With restrooms at the main parking lot and a playground for the kids, this course is one I can bring the family to.

My favorite course in Pheonix
Pros: Plenty of elevation changes, well thought out holes, great use of the land. Doesn't ever seem to be real crowded.
Close to lots of places to eat.
Cons: First 5 holes aren't marked well, are mostly blind shots and are kinda boring.
This course is EXTREMELY rocky! It chews up DX disc with the quickness.
Other Thoughts: If your driving to PHX and only have one course to play, try this one.

Variety in the Desert
Pros: Variety: blind shots, up and down terrain, elevated pole holes, canyon-long shots, nice city views. Nice newer concrete teepads. Not as crowded as other Phoenix courses. Great practice with the varied putts.
Cons: The potential for the course to chew up their discs. The location of each ensuing hole is not usually where you would intuitively expect it. Copious amounts of garbage strewn along the course.
Other Thoughts: Being new to the sport, this is literally the second course I have ever played. That being said, I really enjoyed the variety that comes with this course and I know I will be back soon. If you are new to the game, this is an interesting test to get you dialed in to mastering new shots and situations.

Love the course
Pros: I am biased as I live less than a mile and play this course all the time. Excellent elevation changes, 2 pin placements now on more than half of the holes. Great use of desert landscape. Tee signs and concrete pads are a great addition (recent course improvements).
Cons: Need water (more than you think!). Don't bring DX plastic as it will be eaten up within a round or two. A few blind holes, but the signs should be marked. Bring a map if you are new to the course.
Other Thoughts: Local groups can be found in evenings on on weekends. Not much traffic on the course, so safari can also be fun. There are longer tees on 4, 8, 15, 17, but they are not marked extremely well. Locals try to keep up with raking and trash detail, but please try to help out if you see it is needed. We try to switch the basket locations frequently, but it does not happen always. Hope you have fun - expect it at least 5 degrees warmer than the posted Phoenix temp - it is a desert course.

Pros: Ditto on everything the last 4 reviewers said.
Cons: Hot, but what do you expect in Phoenix?
Rocky- I don't recommend throwing DX plastic here if you can help it.
VERY hard to navigate first half of course- all signs are knee-height and the heavy scrub which makes the holes such a fun challenge can make the next tee hard to find. I had a map and I still couldn't find the tee for #7 after searching for 5 minutes or so.
Other Thoughts: Almost my favorite course ever, and I was playing in summer. A very unique desert experience for a midwestern player, but even taken on its own terms the course design is excellent. I can't recommend this course highly enough, as long as you bring: water, sunscreen, discs of more durable plastic, and a map of the course.

Quintessential desert course
Pros: Great use of a desert landscape
Good use of elevation
Well laid out, considering the lanscape available
Unique challenges due to vegetation and topography
Though the terrain is limited, not a lot of redundancy in layout
Cons: Of course, certain times of the year can have brutal heat (not the courses fault)
Discs take a beating on rocks
Occassionally hard to spot a disc in the brush..**"I know it landed somewhere near here"
Other Thoughts: This course is a blast to play.
The thing I like most about it is the desert terrain--it's so different than 97% of the courses I've played.
It's amazing how varied this course feels with the limited terrain options...whoever designed it did a great job...I love the hole (maybe 14) where you tee off on the side of the one hill and the basket is across a small "valley" and on top on a little hill--a great challenge...I have only birdied that hole once

Desert disc golf
Pros: Unique desert terrain makes this a good Arizona destination course. Lots of short scrub and cactus, dry wash gullies, rocks and elevation. Challenging, especially the back nine with some frustrating basket positions and cross breezes.
Cons: Terrain can really beat up your discs badly in no time at all. Bring plenty of water, and try to avoid the hottest part of the day. Good sturdy shoes and socks recommended. Bring a map if possible, because navigation is a little tricky at times.

Throw over Vegitation
Pros: This course was a blast. Great elevation changes, low vegitation everywhere. Completly changed the way I had to play. I was used to throwing low and flat. Can't do that here, you have to throw over knee to hip level vegitation on most shots. Tee pads were the best I have played from. Kudos to the people who keep up this course for all of the hard work yall put into it. It shows.
Cons: Hard to find the pins. Flags helped.

Desert golf, rocky terrain
Pros: New concrete teepads. Fun challenges. Holes 1-5 on flat terrain with some blind shots and vegetation-protected holes. Holes 6-14 alternate between uphills and downhills, mostly wide open. Holes 14 & 15 have pins protected by bunkers. Holes 12 & 16 pin placement on 6 ft cones, making putting a risky venture.
Cons: Major rocky terrain on many holes will chew up a disc good. No real fairways on many holes, just playing around desert plantlife and into sharp rocks. Get water before hole 1 because there's no water elsewhere on course and it is HOT for most of year. Had challenge finding pin from tee on first 5 holes the first time I played there. Recommend bringing a map.
Other Thoughts: I wouldn't say it is really "wooded", but there is a LOT of desert plant life, none if which exceeds 12 feet in height. Watch for bikers and hikers - sparse but present.

Wayne Tinkle, age 48, just completed his eighth season as head coach at his alma mater, Montana.
The Griz have advanced to NCAA Tourney three of the last four seasons, and have posted two straight 25-win seasons.
He was a Griz assistant for five campaigns before taking over the top job and is one of the winningest coaches in Montana school history. And he's no stranger to post-season play.
As a player, he spent 12 years in the pros, mostly overseas, and Montana currently lists two international players on the roster, from Australia and Germany, although the Beavs are not thought to want to significantly recruit overseas.
Tinkle did have to build the UM program like he will at Oregon State -- the Griz had been to the Big Dance three times in the five years before he took over.
He also has never coached, as an assistant or head man, at the major-college level.
He has a great record, no doubt, but that entirely Big Sky background is not what some BeavFans were expecting in their new coach.
De Carolis has surprised just about everyone by choosing Tinkle over two the media had positioned as the frontrunners: Arizona assistant Damon Stoudamire and former UCLA coach Ben Howland. Howland publicly last week said he was taking himself out of the running, seemingly opening the door for Stoudamire. Instead, it swung open for Tinkle.
Tinkle will face a serious rebuilding job from the start at Oregon State.
The Beavers have lost their five top scorers on a team that underachieved and played uninspired basketball this past season, going 16-16 (8-10 Pac-12) and falling in the first round of the College Basketball Invitational. OSU hasn't gone to the NCAA tournament since 1990, the second longest drought of any Big-5 conference team.

What is senseware? Kenya Hara, the exhibition director, describes it as "a matter that stirs the human creative instinct and awakens the desire to make things." The aim of this exhibition is to deliberately bring a broad sweep of creators and technology people into contact with attractive new artificial fibers, encouraging them to think of applications that make the benefits of the material visible. Through that approach the exhibition attempts to show ideas for the future of manufacturing, exhibiting new environmental membranes derived from artificial fibers in order to share them with the world at large.

Disassembly Of Firearm…
- Make sure firearm is not loaded and is pointed in a safe direction.
- Remove magazine and clear the chamber
- Open the bolt by pulling the charging handle completely to the rear while holding the charging handle in this position, use your other hand to lock the bolt in the rearward position by pushing the lower end of the bolt catch lever.
- The bolt carrier should lock in the rearward position. Let go of the charging handle. Do not ride it back!
- If there was a round in the chamber it should have been ejected...make sure there is not a round in the chamber by LOOKING INTO THE CHAMBER from THE EJECTION PORT AND VISUALLY CONFIRMING THAT THERE IS NOT A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER!
- Now that you are sure the gun is unloaded you may proceed in the disassembly.
- Send the Bolt "Home" by releasing the Bolt Catch.
- Remove the butt stock on the rifle by rotating the takedown lever 160° counter - clockwise. Grasp the rifle and stock in opposite hands and firmly pull stock directly rearward. Do not attempt to fire the rifle with stock removed. To do so is unsafe and could cause bodily injury. Next remove the buffer spring and buffer assembly by unscrewing the recoil tube on both the rifle and pistol. Use caution the buffer spring will be under pressure.
- By using a small diameter drive tool, push both takedown pins from left to right until they stop.
- Separate the receivers by holding the grip with one hand and pulling the upper receiver up and forward. Note: The charging handle must be in the closed position; there will be some resistance due to the close tolerance fit between the upper and lower receivers.
- You may now pull back on the charging handle to remove the bolt carrier assembly.
- Detach the muzzle compensator by pulling the locking ring forward and remove from barrel with a twisting motion.
After firing, clean your rifle as soon as possible to make the job easier, and to avoid the development of any corrosion. When your firearm has not been fired, you should clean it at once or twice a year if you live in a temperate climate, or as often as once a week in a tropical climate. If you get your firearm wet, clean it as soon as possible. Use only high quality kits that include a cleaning rod, swab holder, cotton flannel bore patches, pipe cleaners, a small toothbrush, brass wire bristle bore and chamber brushes, and CLP (Cleaner–Lubricant–Preservative). After disassembling the rifle/pistol, thoroughly clean, inspect and lubricate all parts according to the
techniques described in this manual.
Clean the Bore…
- Always clean from chamber to muzzle in the natural direction of the bullet.
- Attach the three cleaning rod sections together, but leave each one about two turns short of being tight.
- Attach the bore brush, leaving it two turns short of being tight.
- Never run a brush down the barrel first or dip the brush in solvent.
- Swab out the bore with a patch moistened with “CLP”.
- Point muzzle down. Hold the upper receiver in one hand while inserting the end of the rod without the brush into the chamber. Do not let either rub the bore, this will scratch the bore. About the 2 - 3 inches of the rod should protrude out of the muzzle end.
- Attach the handle section of the cleaning rod to the threaded end that is sticking out of the muzzle. Diagram #1
- Pull the brush through the bore and out the muzzle. You should be able to see the rod twisting as you pull it. This is the brush “tracking” in the rifling. Never reverse the brush in the chamber.
- After one pull, take the handle section off , and repeat the process.
- After three or four pulls, the three rod sections and the bore brush may become screwed tightly together. Loosen them up and repeat the process.
- Send a patch through the bore occasionally to help clean out the debris the brush has loosened. Just replace the bore brush with the rod tip (patch holder) and a wet patch. Pull it through. If you leave the rods loose again the patch will “track” in the rifling as before. But remember, always have the bore wet with cleaner before trying to pull a brush through.
Cleaning the Ejector…
- The design of the ejector makes its disassembly for cleaning somewhat impractical (i.e., we don’t recommend it!). Make sure your firearm ejects empty cases efficiently by following these steps on a monthly basis (more frequently if firing blanks).
- Remove the bolt from the carrier as described above. Hold it as shown with the ejector down and the extractor up.
- Dribble a few drops of CLP around the ejector to form a puddle.
- Take a fired or dummy case, and place it under the lip of the extractor. With a rocking motion, press the case down against the ejector. Since the ejector is spring loaded, some resistance will be felt. Press on the case until it stops against the bolt face. Ease off with your thumb slightly, and press down again. Repeat several times. Replace the CLP frequently. Once the spring action of the ejector is smooth and strong, dry off any excess.
Inspection before lubricating…
- Check the bolt: Look for cracks or fractures, especially in the cam pin hole area. Bolts with any pitting extending into the firing pin hole should be relaced.
- Check the firing pin: If it is bent, cracked, too sharp, it should be replaced.
- Check the firing pin retaining pin: If it is bent or badly worn, it should be replaced. NEVER use a “Cotter Pin” as a substitute for a real firing pin retaining pin. Cotter pins are not made of heat treat spring steel, and their round head shape will cause damage.
- Check the cam pin: If it is cracked, or chipped, it should be replaced.
- Check the extractor and extractor spring. If the extractor is chipped, or has broken edges in the area of the lip that engages the cartridge rim, it should be replaced. Check that the rubber insert is inside the extractor spring.
Upper and Lower Receivers:
- The inside of the upper receiver, bore and chamber (using cleaning rod and patch).
- The firing pin with CLP.
- The charging handle and the inner and outer surfaces of the bolt carrier.
- All moving parts inside the lower receiver (trigger, hammer, safety, bolt catch, etc), and all its various pins and detents. Don’t forget the takedown, pivot pins, and their detents.
- The bolt, cam pin area, and bolt gas rings. The carrier key should be dried with a pipe cleaner - and add one drop of CLP. Wipe off fingerprints (they can start the corrosion process) from exterior surfaces with a soft oiled black rag.

Как превратить пробковую плитку в красивый и functional decor item? You will find the answer in our master class. Many people are familiar with the situation when a lot of different little things accumulate on the table, and sometimes it is not easy to find exactly what you need. A functional decorative panel made of cork tiles will help organize order in the workplace. It is easy to make it yourself. To-do lists, favorite photos, children's drawings and other gizmos will be very appropriate on it. You can fix them using decorative push pins. Cork - the material is so light that it does not create unnecessary stress on the walls, and it also looks attractive and makes the room cozy. Pleasant texture, warm shades of balsa wood blend perfectly with any interior.
What do you need?
With a pencil, mark on the tile the places on which the strips will be placed.
Join all the tiles. The lines at the joints must coincide completely.
Take the paint and brush to paint the strips in white. It is a pleasant and fascinating process, in which even children can participate.
Remove the adhesive tape. By the way, this can also be entrusted to children.
To the back of each tile (in each corner)attach the double-sided tape: the cork tile should stick to the wall firmly. Now you can safely place various little things on it. That's all! Our simple and at the same time original decor item is ready! And, mind you, for this you did not have to drill holes in the wall!
On a note!

Ottawa, ON – April 23, 2012 – Canadians are more aware than ever of the importance of Asia to our economic future. However, there is less consensus – and in some provinces, rising concern – about how best to engage with Asia. That is among the key findings in a new poll released today by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF Canada, www.asiapacific.ca).
Mr. Yuen Pau Woo, President and CEO of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, noted ‘a slow shift in Canadian mental maps is starting to position Canada as part of the Asia Pacific region. This comes, in part, as more Canadians accept the reality of a global economic shift towards Asia and the opportunities that it can present for Canada.”
The number of Canadians who identified Canada as part of the Asia Pacific region rose a statistically significant three points, from 26% in 2011 to 29% in 2012. Moreover, fully half of Canadians saw the growing economic power of China as more of an opportunity than a threat, up a substantial seven points in the past 12 months.
But while more Canadians advocate for greater diversification of Canada’s trade (85%) and support an urgent push for a Canadian response to Asia’s rising demand for resources (61%), many remain guarded about pursuing free trade agreements with Asia’s emerging economies or allowing foreign ownership of Canadian companies or natural resources.
Despite 55% agreeing that political and economic relations with Asia should be Canada’s top foreign policy priority, there remain lingering hesitations as to how Canadians should actually engage with countries in the region to capitalize on the opportunities for Canada. Nearly 38% expressed opposition when asked whether Canada should pursue free trade agreements with China, India and South Korea. Fewer than one-in-five Canadians would be in favour of state-controlled companies from China and India buying a controlling stake in a major Canadian company. And on energy matters, some 57% disagree with the notion that the economic benefits of Asia’s investments in Canada’s energy sector outweigh concerns about foreign ownership of natural resources.
“Canadians continue to express doubts about engaging more deeply with Asia. While we need to proceed wisely and cautiously on sensitive matters that affect Canadian interests, there should be no mistaking the incredible pace of change in Asia and hence the need to act with urgency and resolve,” said Mr. Yuen Pau Woo.
There were noticeable differences in the views of Canadians from various regions viewed on deeper engagement with Asia. Respondents from British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec and Northern Territories displayed the strongest feelings of favorability to Asian countries. Nearly two-thirds of Albertans and 60% of Quebecers and British Columbians are in favor of making economic and political relations with Asia Canada’s top foreign policy priority. Both Alberta and Quebec felt more warmly towards China, Southeast Asia and South Korea compared to findings from previous years. In contrast, respondents from Ontario appeared more skeptical of the importance that Asian economies played towards Canada’s economic well-being. They attributed lower importance to Asian countries than in the past two years and were most likely to oppose free trade agreements with China (44%), India (43%), and South Korea (44%).
The survey was conducted online on behalf of APF Canada by Angus Reid Public Opinion between February 21 and 29, 2012.

Journey doing a near-flawless rendition of Faithfully on the Ellen Degeneres show, with their new controversial Filipino lead singer, Arnel Pineda.
"Although Pineda was not the first foreign national to become a member of Journey (former drummer Aynsley Dunbar is British) nor even the first non-white (former bass player Randy Jackson is African-American), the transition was difficult for a number of fans who expressed what Marin Independent Journal writer Paul Liberatore called 'an undercurrent of racism.' Keyboardist Jonathan Cain responded to such sentiments: "We've become a world band. We're international now. We're not about one color."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_%28band%29


Journey by plane has a extended and exciting history setting up from the initial industrial flight in 1933 on the contemporary airliner, Boeing 247. This vital event designed a definitive mark in the time line of aviation but was only a single of several main accomplishments. The following will spotlight a few of the fascinating landmarks of aviation historical past that punctuated the final century.
The Zeppelin Hindenburg
The 1930s exposed the so-called airship era of aviation record. The German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg was 1 these kinds of illustration of the recognition of these. Having said that, the occasion surrounding this airship was a sad a single as tragedy struck through flight. Destined for Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Manchester Township, New Jersey, the Hindenburg disaster happened as the airship caught on fireplace and crashed. Thirty-five fatalities were being counted in this tragic incident and useless to say, self-confidence in airships radically reduced. News coverage broadcast the awful news all in excess of the globe, in essence bringing the airship period to a unfortunate close.
Chuck Yeager Breaks the Audio Barrier
The seem barrier was damaged by Chuck Yeager in 1947, marking yet another large party in the heritage of aviation. Yeager was a exam pilot in the United States Air Drive and flew the experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1. The plane was at an altitude of 45,000 feet when this transpired. The Bell X-1 is on show in the Smithsonian Institution’s nationwide museum for air and house. Yeager received far more than 1 award for this accomplishment, like the MacKay and Collier trophy in 1948 and a trophy for Harmon Intercontinental in 1954. The Myra, West Virginia indigenous went on to bust through other boundaries of seem and even altitude years later on.
Quick-forwarding from Chuck Yeager’s major accomplishment to the 1970s, several individuals figure out the Boeing 747 and it is usually referred to endearingly as the “jumbo jet” of aircraft. Its cargo transportation and business flight job make it a major element of aviation history. This airliner, Boeing 747, made its to start with professional flight from New York to London in the early element of that ten years. Significant airlines that use the product include things like British Airways, Korean Air, Japan Airways, and Cathay Pacific. The Boeing 747, aside from becoming recognizable, is critical in that it could carry this kind of a big load of travellers or cargo. In reality, it held the file for carrying the most travellers for numerous decades.
Aviation Carries on to Produce
The Zeppelin Hindenburg disaster, Chuck Yeager’s breaking of the sound barrier, and the introduction of the Boeing 747 jumbo jet are just three of the quite a few turning factors in aviation. Even though a lot of additional occasions exist on the historic time line of flight, these gatherings clearly show some of the unique items of the puzzle. Functions like these have assisted condition the heritage of aviation and provide chances for mastering and reflection. Flight has occur a prolonged way and will carry on to modify and develop in decades to appear, producing it an exciting element of engineering and history!

Condemn Indian State’s Heinous Raid on Activist and Delhi University Prof. G N Saibaba’s Residence
On September 12, in a joint operation in India, a 50 member squad of police personnel – comprising of members of National Investigation Agency (NIA), Delhi police, Special Cell of the Delhi Police and Maharashtra police – barged into the Delhi University staff quarter of Prof. G. N. Saibaba, a noted civil rights activist and professor of English at Ramlal Anand College, University of Delhi.
The wheel-chair bound professor is a Joint Secretary of the Revolutionary Democratic Front (RDF) and the convener of several forums against ‘Operation Greenhunt’ and the persecution of millions of adivasis and tribal population of Central and Eastern India. He teaches English at Delhi University.
During the raid, his house was ransacked by the police on the false pretext of attempting to recover “stolen property”. Saibaba, his wife and daughter were subjected to violent threats and criminal intimidation by the raiding team. They were detained for nearly four hours and were denied access to their lawyer. Their mobile phones were confiscated and his right to contact the Delhi University Teachers Association (DUTA) was completely disregarded. Prof Saibaba’s laptop, hard disks that contain his PhD work and university teaching material, his and his family member’s mobile phones, many valuable books, copies of RDF publications and a DVD of a Hindi version of the Sanjay Kak film, Red Ant Dream, were taken away.

Independent content providers have a difficult path to earning a living from their work but some new Blockchain based reward networks are changing this.
Content creators to get their due
Anyone who has spent years and countless hours developing independent content across multiple platforms knows how hard it is to actually generate any revenue from the work.
While Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram rely on user-generated content the revenue that streams in from ads goes directly to the platform, only rarely dripping into the pockets of those who put the time and energy into drawing the traffic.
Author and founder of Good Audience, Sherman Lee, believes decentralization and Blockchain ledger technology are a perfect combination to bridge this gap in creation and reimbursement.
As she recently wrote in Forbes ‘Every single piece of unique content could be recorded on the Blockchain along with impressions, likes, and comments. Content creators would have transparency into the impact they are making for brands or social networks and be properly rewarded for it.’
Virtual rewards networks already exist and some of them are funneling revenue back to the original content creators.
Blockchain-based rewards taking off
Steemit allows content creators to be rewarded in STEEM tokens based on votes from users. These tokens can then be exchanged for fiat currency. The platform that started in March of 2016 has paid out $30 million to 50,000 users as of November 2017.
The downside to Steemit is that users are only rewarded for content on that platform. All of the hard work a creator may have put into building their Twitter or Instagram feeds cannot be rewarded through this.
Gifto, a Hong Kong-based rewards protocol, has solved this by allowing users to award virtual gifts across all platforms. These gifts can then be exchanged for GTO tokens which in turn can be exchanged for fiat currency. These gifts can be awarded on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any social network platform.
CEO of Asia Innovation Group creator of both Gifto and Uplive, a live streaming network in Asia, has been looking at gamification for a long time. He believes that virtual gifts are a way to keep users engaged and creators continuing to put out high quality and sometimes groundbreaking content. According to Asia Innovation Group Uplive generated over $100 million in revenue for content generators in 2017. Gifto will replace Uplive for 2018 and is projected to go over 300 Million in virtual gifts.
There are other Blockchain based rewards networks out there such as the Basic Attention Token (BAT) which allow users of the browser to reward websites directly for their content using the BAT token. Irrespective of which one gains the greatest adoption the ultimate winner will be the independent content creators who have been traditionally left out of the revenue loop.

I have a confession.
I have been eating badly.
I mean really badly.
Not just the junk food that I love (I've been eating that too) but I have been eating out as well. I have fallen off the wagon for the last couple of weeks.
Monday night, my in-laws took the kids out to dinner. What did I do? Did I go home and eat a sensible salad?
No I went out and gorged myself on steak, veggies and baked sweet potato from Outback. That’s not so bad I know. Did I mention the whole bloomin onion I ordered for myself? Or the south pacific peach martini? Did I mention that I ate a whole loaf of the dark bread slathered in honey butter?
Did I mentioned the food I got from Checkers(Rally's) the night before?
Did I mention food from our jaunt to IKEA to get new slats for my daughters bed? Those cinnamon buns are sugar crack.
Wednesday: My friends baby shower - lasagna, shrimp fried rice, fried dough balls, coleslaw, some stew type dish that was spicy, I refrained from the banana pudding and the cake. (oh, my lopsided diaper cake was a hit! My friend CW called it a leaning tower of poppers. I am not speaking to her for the rest of the week!)
Wednesday: Date night: Cup of crab soup and a massive amount of french fries smothered in cheese and bacon with sour cream on the side.
Did I mention the Taco Bell last night?
I have fallen off the wagon.
I will get back on.
I had a salad for lunch today.
I will keep on. My belly dancing DVD from Netflix has arrived. I never realized how many exercise DVD's they have in the catalog. I could realistically get a new one once a week and never get bored with them. Better than adding a gym membership right now.
I want to go to the gym. I was 'advised' by one of my super-fit co-workers that paying for the membership would motivate me. I doubt it.
I think I need to have the motivation to go everyday before I put money on it. That way I can be sure I won't be wasting money. If I go once workout once a week that is wasteful. To get my full money's worth I feel that I need to go at least four days or more a week.
Shouldn't I want to work out on the regular, first? Does this theory make since?

Rip and tweak
Spiral scarf from Knitting Nature. Mmmmm, not so much. I like the feel of the Noro Silk Garden and I think it will be soft enough for around my neck. Needs tweaking. Maybe smaller needles and fewer stitches cast on. Or...maybe a completely different scarf.

(CNN) -- It's probably fair to say that funnyman Fred Willard isn't laughing this morning.
CNN has confirmed that the "Anchorman" actor was arrested in Los Angeles Wednesday night for lewd conduct.
The Los Angeles Police Department was doing a routine inspection on Santa Monica Boulevard when officers came across Willard "engaged in lewd conduct" in an adult theater, a police spokesman confirmed to CNN.
He was arrested at about 8:45 pm and transported to the Hollywood division police department, police said. The 72-year-old "For Your Consideration" and "Best in Show" star has since been released.
A rep for Willard had no comment on the matter.

‘We cannot even imagine this kind of police atrocities,” says State BJP chief Dilip Ghosh
A Bharatiya Janata Party supporter has died in police custody at Raiganj in West Bengal’s Uttar Dinajpur district. The State BJP leadership on Thursday alleged that the custodial torture led to the death of Anup Kumar Roy, 24.
“We cannot even imagine this kind of police atrocities. Where is the law and order of West Bengal sliding to,” State BJP president Dilip Ghosh said. Mr. Ghosh, who called the party workers to launch a protest against the death, said the manner in which the BJP worker was summoned to the police station and the way the police hurriedly carried out a post-mortem was all “illegal.”
Superintendent of Police, Uttar Dinajpur, Sumit Kumar, said the deceased was summoned to the police station for questioning in a robbery case on Wednesday. “Suddenly he became unconscious and when he was taken to hospital doctors declared him dead. A post-mortem was done which revealed that the death was due to brain haemorrhage,” Mr. Kumar said.
Meanwhile, the mother of the deceased has written to the police seeking a “re-postmortem.” “I have strong doubt that post-mortem has not been done lawfully and we are not ready to accept the illegally prepared report,” Gita Roy said in a letter addressed to the SP.
The State BJP, from its official Twitter handle, described it as a “cold blooded murder” and raised the question on why was a “post-mortem done hurriedly at night within three hours of death.”
Meanwhile, in another incident, crude bombs were hurled near the residence of Barrackpore BJP MP Arjun Singh. BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya tweeted videos of the violence, accusing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of indulging in “vendetta politics.”
