Every day brings a new destination, and no single day will ever be the same again for Marty Davis, former Portlander and publisher of Just Out. Marty ran the much-loved newspaper highlighting Portland’s GBLT community from 1999 to 2011.
The publishing business took hit after hit, and with heavy heart Marty finally concluded she had no other choice than to shut it down. Finding herself suddenly retired, she hit rock-bottom and knew she needed to find a way to recover.
“I guess the thing people were surprised to find out about me is that I really woke up one day and decided to travel. I actually did it. I am doing it,” she laughs softly.
Selling literally everything she owned, including her home of 35 years, this spirited lady had only one concern as she began to plan her travels: her beloved dog Shasta. Would she make it? Could she withstand a long journey on the road?
A tri-colored Australian Sheppard, Shasta is 13 years old and has some health issues, including arthritis and a large benign tumor on her chest. Marty worried how she would fare on the road. Their vet prescribed arthritis medication and a “let’s try this” approach. Her mobility has greatly improved. “Shasta said, ‘Oh hell yes,’ says Marty, adding that Shasta is loving life and thriving.
Marty grew up in Northern California and attended Shasta High School. When adopting her third dog in 2008 from Oregon Humane, she knew she’d name the dog Shasta, a name she’d always loved. Browsing ‘mugs shots,’ there seemed to be nothing but Pit Bulls, she says. Then suddenly, like divine intervention, there was a beautiful Australian Sheppard named . . . Shasta! It was love at first sight.
“Right now we are here in Portland to visit friends, check in with the vet, and attend a few events,” says Marty. “Luckily I have my one decent outfit and my one pair of shiny black patent shoes. So my ‘shoe’ is the shiny black patent pair as they keep one foot in my old life. I wear jeans and walking shoes in my new life, and believe that life is too short to wear uncomfortable shoes,” she says.
Seeing small-town America is all part of the adventure as Davis has no interest in freeways, cities or tourist traps. Getting to the heart of America is what she finds most intriguing. Little out-of-the-way places, the back roads, are her idea of heaven.
“There is still a lot of what used to be out there,” says Marty. “Some of my favorite places have been the Black Hills of North Dakota, Southern Utah with its canyons, deserts and rock formations … it always seems to draw you back. Devil’s Tower National monument in Wyoming is just incredible,” shares this avid photographer.
Having Netflix, HBO, and Showtime keeps Davis company when she can get service. “I read a lot of books as I love to read. In fact, as a kid I loved to read Erma Bombeck; she was my favorite author, and I wanted to be a comic or humorist writer when I was younger. I have a subscription to Oyster, and for $10 a month I can download all kinds of books. My main companion of course is Shasta,” she adds.
With no plans to ever go down the same road twice, this avid photographer, journalist and explorer is finding her own way on the back roads of small town America …just her and her beloved dog … finding a little bit of wonderful each and every day.

Located on a quiet side street near Kiba Station, Fukagawa Ikoitei is a small and welcoming izakaya, or Japanese pub. This restaurant has 22 seats and an authentic atmosphere.
Mr. Itoda and his wife have managed Fukagawa Ikoitei for 33 years. “I have worked in many restaurants since I was 18,” he explained. “After getting several years of experience, I took over this restaurant from my mother and expanded it.” At this family-run restaurant, the owners will make you feel comfortable and serve you delicious food.
“We serve a wide variety of dishes including deep-fried oysters, available from October to March, and shrimp,” said Mr. Itoda.
The deep fried shrimps look delicious!
There is a lot to choose from!
The restaurant also offers a lunch set menu at a very reasonable price!
Their signature dish is “nakauchi maguro”. This is a kind of tuna sashimi, or raw fish, spooned out of the bones of the tuna.
The thick slices of tuna melt on the tongue. Mr. Itoda goes every day to Toyosu fish market in order to select the best piece of tuna, and to ensure the freshness of the fish.
This is the fresh tuna used to make “nakauchi maguro”.
And what is the perfect beverage to complement this dish? Fukagawa Ikoitei offers a variety of Denen shochu, a type of Japanese traditional hard liquor, made in northern Kagoshima. Established in 1905, Denen pioneered making shochu in matured barrels, a variety called “Denen Gold”. “I recommend drinking it on the rocks,” said Mr. Itoda.
Of course, you also can enjoy a glass of sake, or Japanese rice wine, with your meal. Mr. Itoda said that he takes pride in offering only exceptional sake!
If you would like to discover an authentic izakaya-style restaurant, I encourage you to go to Fukagawa Ikoitei. You’ll enjoy a wide variety of delicious dishes at a very reasonable price, all while seated in a friendly atmosphere. So be adventurous and experiment with this small local restaurant!

The typical customer will get their system from a big manufacturer. This big manufacturer puts together lots of computers with identical specifications. For the typical person, this will be suitable for basic hardware needs. Unfortunately, there are some unpleasant side effects to this arrangement. Bloatware is a type of software that a manufacturer includes in your start up process as part of a lucrative marketing deal. While a few of of the programs are practical, it’s usually more than you need. To make matters worse, booting them all at start up will likely cause major performance problems.
Most unwitting users will start their machine up with bloatware and never get rid of it. Other programs will creep their way into the start up process of the system over time. Ultimately, the system could behave like the victim of a vicious virus attack. Some of these bloatware programs need an active subscription. If you don’t choose to purchase it, the program is still on your pc. It will sporadically prompt you to purchase the subscription and continue to strain your processor.
Because of this, anyone who purchases a pc from a mainstream manufacturer should probably consider spending some time removing this bloatware. It isn’t very prudent to permit your system to start all of these programs at once. This chews up entirely too much of your system resources, which will in turn put extra wear and tear on your processor. A clean boot will allow you to get the most out of your brand new hardware.
To eliminate the bloatware, you will need to uninstall it from your machine completely. If you’re using Windows, you can disable these items in the Startup and Services tabs of your MSConfig feature. This will prohibit these programs from loading during the start up of your operating system.
You may want to hold on to a couple of these programs. The manufacturers try to include some programs that are actually helpful. On the other hand, it might not be a good idea to allow them to load during the boot process. When you get your computer, try out each program to determine which ones you intend to keep.
If you build your own computer, you won’t have to cope with bloatware. You will most likely be installing a fresh version of your favorite operating system without third party software. While this will leave you without certain software that you will most likely need, you will have a much faster system. Most of these programs deal with basic functions. You can often find better-quality software online for free.
It’s regrettable that manufacturers have decided to sell out the performance and stability of their builds to these intrusive programs. It does allow you to get a lot of software at a lower price. This is the sole advantage. The software included probably will have many programs that a broad spectrum of consumers would appreciate, but it is uncommon that a solitary user would want everything that is pre-installed on their computer. This means that you would need to be a really rare person to actually appreciate all of the bloatware programs that your manufacturer chose to install.
When you get a new machine, it’s probably sensible to set aside some time to do away with bloatware after you get situated. It is also sensible to tweak your operating system; operating systems often include superfluous services that slow down your system as well. For some strange reason known only to themselves, software manufacturers love forcing users to open all of their programs at the same time. You get far better performance when you only open the software you plan to use.
If you are not able to get rid of bloatware from your system, consider the help of Geek Choice. Geek Choice is a computer repair company that provides nationwide support. Geek Choice is committed to offering on-site service to aid in getting the best performance out of your computer. If you need help with your machine, contact us at 1-800-GEEK HELP (433-5435).

Aria said that while pull Miko’s hand and went to clan branch second floor. There were multiple room in the second floor, each of them is large and giving feel that the user is someone great. They came to the front one of that room.
Without waiting for answer Aria opened the door and entered the room. Miko who pulled by Aria also entered the room.
There was a woman in the room. Her black hair is growth to her waist. She had slender figure and look smart. High class furnitures indicated her position.
Ayano was dumbfounded by Miko’s answer.
Ayano indifferently said so. Seeing Ayano like that, Aria could only sigh.
After hearing Aria’s explanation, Ayano started to thinking it seriously. Meanwhile Miko became pale since didn’t thought it would become something big.
With that, Aria was approved as Miko’s exclusive receptionist.
Relieved, Miko said her thanks with bow.

Our Sunday morning service takes place at 10:30am (and usually finishes by 12:00pm. In this service, we attempt to cater for all ages, through a thematic programme of studies. During the first part of the service we have all age worship and following this, the children go off to Children’s Church, and those with learning difficulties have the opportunity to go out to a group we call SHAPES. For the very young ones we have a crèche available throughout the time of the service. We aim to use a wide variety of traditional hymns and modern praise songs. From time to time we have drama, poetry, testimony, group and solo voices - all to enrich worship and glorify God. We observe Communion most Sundays at one of our services - all who love the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of whatever Christian tradition are welcome to participate as we meet around His table.
Usually on the fourth Sunday of the month we have an evening Communion service (not July), starting at 6:30pm. Please see the calendar for dates.

The village of Roštár is situated in the South Eastern part of mountain range known as Slovenské rudohorie, near the point where the Roštársky and Hankovský streams converge.
The earliest written reference to the village dates from 1318. Historical documents of the family called Ákošovci reveal that the village was originally known as "Rester" which derives from the German language.
Mining and iron production were the two major industries which grew within the village over the past few centuries. Roštár was owned by several powerful families including the family of Bebek - Csetneky. In 1639, František Balassa de Gyarmath ravaged this village and killed almost all its inhabitants. A few people survived this massacre and they were joined by several other families who together reestablished this village. Unfortunately, another fire in 1689 destroyed the village again and plague over early 18th century took life of over 130 people.
The village has grown since all these tragedies happened and now is considered to be a small village with a good general infrastructure.
The first ever school in this village was opened in late 16th century (1590 - 1592) which gave basic education to children of that era.

When replacing your factory radio with an after-market car stereo, a dash kit is a must for a quick and professional looking installation. It will securely mount your new stereo in the dash and will result in a professional gapless finish between your radio and the dash. When replacing your factory radio with an after-market car stereo, a wire harness is a must for a quick installation.
It eliminates cutting your OE radio plug helping to maintain your cars value. After connecting it, your install is simple as the wires will color-match and easily connect to the after-market stereo.
Without a wiring harness you will have to cut the factory harness and then test each wire to connect to your radio. We have put this kit together with all of the parts needed for your installation. If you are doing the installation yourself the only thing you will need are common tools to take your dash apart and a good pair of crimpers to crimp the wire harnesses together with the included crimp caps. We do recommend that on some cars if you are installing this yourself that you use a set of dash removal tools that are made to remove your dash without scratching or damaging it.
Includes everything needed for installation. Wire harness connects the aftermarket stereo harness to the vehicles factory harness.

B ecause the factory wiring harness does not have a switched 12V power wire (EIA Color: Red) You will need to run a wire from the fuse box inside your car and connect directly to the aftermarket radio.
This wire will be included with a fuse tap to make installation as easy as possible, we also sell a interface that can create this from the factory wiring though. His wire harness will not work if you have a premium factory sound system. Ie Boston Acoustics, Infinity, etc.

Our Cape York Motorcycle Tour is run in tropical north Queensland Cairns and finishes at the most northerly tip of Australia.
If you have ever wanted to ride Cape York with all the creek crossings and tight sandy trails, then this tour is for you.
This tour is for motorcyclist with off road motorcycle experience who just want to have a bit of fun along the way using our experience in this region.
This is not a hard-core motorcycle tour of Cape York but rather good riding at a friendly pace and of course a touristy look around on the way, we will ride all the famous Cape York tracks weather permitting.
7 day motorcycle tour of starting from Cairns and finishing at Cape York. You will fly back to Cairns for your return journey which takes you over the spectacular east coast side of Cape York.
Each day you are given riding instructions on what to expect and what is expected from you.
This tour runs through some amazing tropical rain forest, hot open dusty plains through Savannah country where you would kill for a cool drink of water.
We will have a spare day up our sleeve which gives you a chance to either do a chartered fishing tour or a trip to Thursday Island (both optional extras).
Book with us and I will guarantee you will have a great time.
Cape York is a wondrous place of adventure for Motorcycles, 4WD vehicles and travellers in general.
It has its own unique plants and animals that exist in this region alone.
It is steeped in history with the first maritime Dutch explorers, its Aboriginal past, its white explorers (Edmund Kennedy), gold mining and the settlers that opened up this remote tip of Australia.
It is still remote in places yet touristy enough for those who are willing to navigate the many heavily corrugated dirt roads.
This region has it all – from the savannah grasslands and mountainous Great Divide to the many crystal clear streams and rivers which make for great fishing.
“Rough as Guts Outback Restaurant” will cater for this tour.
The first day of the tour we depart Cairns and ride along the Captain Cook HWY with its magnificent views overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We stop at the beautiful Daintree village for Morning tea. After that we will be ready to ride the Creb Track with all her creek crossing and mountainous trails to arrive at the Lion’s Den pub for a well-deserved beer/swim and dinner later on at the hotel.
We ride to tropical Cook Town and check out the light house on Grassy Hill overlooking the Endeavour River. Then we start heading West on Battle Camp Road(Normanby Range). This has all the twists and turns you would expect from the Great Dividing Range. You will notice the scenery change to the Cape Savannah grasslands. You will get to explore old pioneering homesteads along the track. The afternoon sees us ride through Lake Lands National Park and on our way to Musgrave Station to refuel the motorcycles and ourselves.
From 2020 we will be running a changed route.
The Day will see us ride out of Musgrave Station heading for the east coast to detour a section of the Cape York Peninsula development road. This track will involve less frequented roads and tight sandy tracks with a few creek crossings thrown in for good measure, which will take a good part of the day to get through. We will arrive at Coen for lunch, the rest of day will be spent travelling to Archer river.
Leaving Archer River we will follow the road into Lockhart River to inspect the remains of the Batavia goldfields and her hidden secrets before crossing the Pascoe River. The Frenchman’s Track will bring us back to the development road and onto Moreton Telegraph Station for lunch. The rest of the afternoon is a lazy ride into Bramwell Station for the night with a great station meal.
We leave Bramwell Station where you will get to ride the full Telegraph Track with her many sand stone creek crossing and sandy trails of fun!!
Along the way we will pop into Fruit Bat falls for a relaxing swim followed by lunch. The rest of the day will continue on the northern section of the Telegraph Track with more trails and creek cross to the Jardine River. Our aim is to get to Seisia, hopefully making the Jardine ferry but if don’t we are not going to sweat it!
We will leave our camp at a sensible hour riding through tropical rain forest heading for the very most northerly point of Australia to celebrate the finish of the ride with a can of beer and a picture of Cape York’s most northerly point of Australia sign. We finish the ride of with a beach run down the east coast and check out a WW2 air wreck.
You will catch the 8 am ferry to Thursday Island then catch the water taxi to Horn Island where you will fly from Cape York back to Cairns approximate flight time 2 hours arriving in the late afternoon.
This is not a hard charging tour but a good touristy look around the Cape. We try to finish up at a reasonable time each day so you can relax and unwind to enjoy a cold beer at the end of the days riding. If you cannot handle some of the riding we have alternate routes for less capable riders. We ride all the famous Cape trails and have a blast.
We schedule our tours in the best time of the year weather wise for you to enjoy!
I just came just to ride the sand dunes of the Simpson Desert but I found out that it was much more than an a ride. The scenery was absolutely stunning, I am coming back!

During his talk, he mentioned ADAMS being used for (kinda) big data in plant/soil analysis using spectral data, allowing for large savings (for one of our customers these are between 18 and 33 million USD per year). This attracted their interest and turned into an invitation to give a two-day workshop on ADAMS in Kuching.

The ADCH has long campaigned for better regulation of the animal rescue sector.
The Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) has welcomed the Scottish Government’s 2018-1019 Programme, which commits to regulating the nation’s animal sanctuaries and rescue centres.
The Scottish Government’s planned regulations, announced last week, are based on ADCH’s Minimum Standards. They will make Scotland the first nation in the United Kingdom to regulate the sector.
ADCH has long campaigned for better regulation of the animal rescue sector. The association comprises more than 130 national and local charities, including Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home and the Scottish SPCA.
“Currently, anyone can set up an animal rescue or sanctuary without having to meet any minimum welfare standards,” commented ADCH chairman Claire Horton. “Whilst the vast majority of rescue centres operate with the appropriate love, care and dedication for their animals, we want to crack down on the few organisations in the sector that are motivated by all the wrong reasons.
In 2017, the importance of regulating the industry was brought to the fore, when the remains of emaciated cats and dogs were found in a freezer at the Ayrshire Ark animal centre. Owner Zara Brown was jailed after admitting nine charges including causing unnecessary suffering, exposing dogs to unsatisfactory conditions and failure to provide the necessary nutrition and veterinary treatment.
“We must never allow a situation like Ayrshire Ark to happen again,” Claire continued. “The Government’s proposed regulations will go a long way to ensuring this, by requiring rescue centres and animal sanctuaries to be properly inspected and to comply with regular inspections.

Website hosting is a sort of Internet service that allows individuals and businesses to make their web portals discoverable online. Hosting service providers are companies that offer content storage space on a server held in a data center and guarantee uninterrupted network connectivity.
The World Wide Web has become a crucial part of our everyday routine. It gives you the possibility to make extra profit, but can also be a main source of income. In order to put commercials on your website or to promote a product or a service that you offer, you invariably require a hosting solution, which will make certain that your web page is safe and continually reachable. But how do you discover one that is moderately priced and yet stable enough?
The solution hosting service providers have come up with is called shared web hosting. With the shared web hosting solution, lots of web hosting accounts are accommodated on one and the very same server. There are stringent limitations on the system resources that each account can actually utilize, thus ensuring that they do not intervene with each other. The shared hosting solution offers acceptable performance and is cheaper than, let's say, a dedicated server, which is utilized by just one person. The shared web hosting solution permits website hosting corporations to offer their customers reasonable prices. It usually includes intuitive hosting Control Panel software, as is the case with the server that we at France Raidlayer provide, and enables everybody to administer their websites without bothering about server installation and maintenance procedures, which are handled solely by the hosting firm.
With the VPS web hosting solution, on the other hand, you share a physical server with other Virtual Private Server clients, but you are allocated a dedicated share of the resources. The VPS server hosting solution is the middle ground between the much more affordably priced shared hosting solution and the more high-priced dedicated server hosting solution, and is a perfect solution for anyone who desires to create, for example, a live streaming web site or a community site. The circumstance that you have to take care of the server configuration settings and software updates yourself is somewhat of a weakness, but this could also be a great upside if you really need to make some server configuration modifications - something that would be impossible on a shared web hosting server.
Dedicated web hosting servers are in most circumstances much more high-priced than shared hosting or VPS hosting solutions. You might ask why would anyone want to use a dedicated web hosting server then? The reply is rather simple. If your company has a high resource-absorbing web site, or simply has very exact server setup and security requirements, the most suitable choice would be a dedicated hosting web server that you or your admins can administer directly. For someone who is ready to invest in safety and stability, the higher price is not a concern. You acquire complete root-level access and can use 100 percent of the server's system resources without anyone else availing of these resources and messing with your web pages.

"Humph!" said Tremayne, as he finished reading. "Johnston's telegram must have crossed us on the way, but I shall find one at the club. Well, we have no time to lose, for we ought to start for Plymouth this evening. Your men will take you straight to the Great Western Hotel, and I will hurry my business through as fast as possible, and meet you there in time to catch the 6.30. At this rate we shall meet the Aurania soon after she leaves New York."
Within the next six hours Tremayne transferred the whole of his vast property in a single instrument to his promised wife, thus making her the richest woman in England; handed the precious deeds to her astonished father; obtained his promise to take his wife and daughter to Alanmere at the end of the London season, and to remain there with her until he returned to reclaim her and his estates together; and said good-bye to Lady Muriel herself in an interview which was a good deal longer than that which he had with his bewildered and somewhat scandalised lawyers, who had never before been forced to rush any transaction through at such an indecent speed. Had Lord Alanmere not been the best client in the kingdom, they might have rebelled against such an outrage on the law's time-honoured delays; but he was not a man to be trifled with, and so the work was done and an unbeatable record in legal despatch accomplished, albeit very unwillingly by the men of law.

Readers will recall Royal Mail's warning that delivery of the new tariff stamps to collectors would be delayed but that stamps (but not presentation packs) would be in Post Offices by the issue date.
We later found this was because of De La Rue's production difficulties associated with the move from Dunstable to Gateshead, difficulties which saw production of the 78p, 88p and £1.88 stamps sub-contracted to Walsall Security Print. De La Rue printed the new Signed For stamps.
Now that the Presentation Packs are available, we find that that they contain stamps which are not the same as those printed by Walsall SP, which almost certainly means that they were printed by De La Rue. How can we tell, from single stamps? The Walsall stamps have a year code of M13L - those in the pack have a year code - like the Signed For stamps - of MA13.
We don't of course, know the printing dates for the De La Rue printings yet but will report them as soon as we do.
Meanwhile, can anybody tell us which stamps are on Royal Mail's official FDCs?
Thank you all for the contributions, we now know that Royal Mail's official FDCs have the De La Rue printings of all stamps. The presentation packs were available from Friday 5th April, which ought to make that the official first day of availability of the 78p, 88p and £1.88p despite the 27 March date that will be on those covers.
The stamps on the FDC received here are noticeably different to those in the pack. The text in the iridescent layer is noticeably 'blotchier', reminiscent of the late printings of the 2009/10 stamps. On most values the M of MA13 is almost a rectangle of dark, with very little definition.
The Walsall and Signed For stamps, of course, were available on 27 March, so those should be more collectable. Anybody doing double-dated covers?
It is now clear that some Tallents House subscribers for single stamps are receiving De La Rue (cut) examples whilst others are receiving Walsall examples. This may be because the DLR stock left over from producing FDCs and Presentation Packs is now all exhausted, or it may just be that the stock of singles is mixed and customers will get one or the other or a mixture. It seems that at this stage there are no sheets of De La Rue printing available.
De La Rue sheet printings are now appearing in post office branches. The £1.88 (and £1.28 MA13) were reported in mid-April, the 88p (and £2 MA13) at the end of the month.
according to Royal mails official website the new definitives on cover are printed in gravure by De La Rue Security Print, each of the new definitives has phosphor bars as appropriate and is self adhesive. The standard definitive measures 20mm x 24mm with a perforation gauge of 15 x 14. The standard Royal Mail Signed For™ definitive measures 24mm x 24mm with a perforation gauge of 15 x 14.
The large Royal Mail Signed For™ definitive measures 34mm x 24mm with a perforation gauge of 14 x 14. Each perforation gauge includes an elliptical perforation on each side replacing three perforations.
Thank you. That's the official line; Royal Mail also say that the stamps sold at the counter are printed by DLR but we know that they are not.
I forgot when I posed the question, that the FDCs are not yet being delivered by Tallents House. But the question stands - what is actually on the covers? We will know soon!
Not always the case with Royal Mail, it is "not what you see on the tin, but whats on the tin when you get it.
Royal Mails Official FDC's bear the 'MA13' coding on the 78p, 88p & £1.88 defintives.
Many thanks for providing so much useful information! I have just received my new definitive issue from Tallents House. As well as an FDC and Presentation Pack, I receive a cylinder block, and a single. The cylinders are all showing M13L as expected, but the singles all have MA13, just like the FDC and presentation pack!
If you compare the stamps on the FDC to those in the pack I expect you will find, as I did, that the iridescent text is very 'blocky' as happened on the late 2009/10 printings as the cylinders wore. This is most noticeable with the M of MA13 which is nearly a solid rectangle, easiest to see on the 88p. This suggests that the FDC and presentation pack supplies may have come from separate printings.
Well, unlike previous reply, I just opened my singles from Bureau and they are M13L.
...........that's the 88p etc, the RMSF are MA13.
Just opened my singles delivery. All 5 stamps are MA13. Obviously bureau send out whatever comes to hand! Signs of coherent organisation within RM are hard to find!
It is logical for the specially printed coils to be used on FDCs first, then cut for Packs, with overs used for those who wanted singles. When they are finished then perhaps it is time to use stamps from ordinary sheets?
I really do wonder about the Bureau. Their "First" pamphlet states that the stamps will be DLR with PVA gum - I get Walsall S/A!!!
I hadn't noticed the reference to PVA - there haven't been any PVA for years!
I love all this - makes collecting so much more exciting! And more stamp varities.
My singles are MA13 and colour blocks are M13L.
78p printed 05/02/13; 88p printed 04/02/13 and the £1.88p printed 07/02/13. The England 88p is dated 14/01/13. No stock of the new signed for stamps though, only old stock.
So which ones will be the rarest?
Has anyone actually reported the new MA13 £2.00 stamp as being brought over the counter at a Post Office?
This stamp is now also in new supplies of the High Value Definitive presentation pack.
Sorry my mistake, these are not available, I was misinformed.

One unnoticed fact about Obesity!!
People who have weight issues have very little length between their armpit and waistline. Do you wonder what it has to do with looking big?? Think again.
We have our organs between our ribcage and pelvis. When our back and side muscles get really tight, they pull our pelvis up towards our ribcage. This pushes our viscera forward and we see big, protruding belly. Everything that protrudes is mistaken as fat accumulated in the belly and is blamed for poor posture. If those back and side muscles become long again, there will be enough space for all the organs to go back to their own space and belly will not protrude. Longer muscles help move with ease and flexibility and look graceful.
People with weight issue look like they have more fat around their belly. They don't have a good posture, they cannot move fluidly and flexibly, they experience pain and all of this is blamed on their weight. Only if they reduce their weight everything will be great!!
Growing up, I was a very active child and I was very slim. I never thought in my dream that weight will be an issue for me. Then, I started experiencing chronic pain and couldn't move. I just started sitting for the entire day. And then I put on 50-60 lbs.
Feeling of being old, worn out and chronic pain are caused by habitual dysfunctional movement patterns. During Somatic session, we evaluate and reorganize movement patterns causing the problem by retraining the brain for healthier movements.
Reduce Stress, Improve posture, Increase Flexibility, Eliminate Pain by retraining the brain with Somatic Movement patterns.
When we get stressed out, our muscles become stiff and tight making it harder to move them. Some times we also experience aches and pains along with stiff muscles.
Do you think poor posture and difficulty in moving fluidly is caused by weight gain?
Are you tired of hearing that eat healthy and exercise to reduce weight?
Do you feel that no body understands how hard life is?

Rick Bacon shoots the role of Isaac in The Driver, a new 3-part drama for BBC One created by Danny Brocklehurst and Jim Poyser.
The Driver paints a vivid portrait of a world where the ordinary collides with the extraordinary, as one man swaps his humdrum, grief stricken life for excitement, glamour and money. It’s a three part serial with an epic battle for one man’s soul at its core: in a world of moral uncertainties, can a man remain good whilst doing bad?
Straddling dual worlds, the show has two story engines to keep us engaged throughout the series: Vince’s (David Morrissey) ever-deepening involvement in the world of serious crime and his complicated domestic life, at the heart of which lies the mystery of his absent son, Tim. Vince needs a distraction away from the tensions of family life. The unspoken resentment and anger between Vince & his wife Ros as they blame each other for the disappearance of Tim is unbearable. This world of crime, not only helps him financially but injects excitement into his monotonous life. But as Vince is drawn deeper and deeper into a life of crime and the tension between his two lives grows more acute, he has to work hard to be accepted by the gang and win the trust of its enigmatic boss, The Horse.

Let me be the first to say that I’m the queen of Fine-and-Okay Land. When something’s not fine and okay, the LAST thing I want to do is talk about it.
So I won’t–if I’m not pushed.
Sharing our stories, our struggles, is not always fun or easy.
But I honestly believe that the reason most of us never move past the past, especially Christians, is because we never allow ourselves to be fully known, we never share our struggles.
Of course, I’m not advocating running around sharing the most intimate details of our lives with complete strangers. I’m assuming (this might be a big leap) that we all are aware that healthy boundaries are vital.
Most Christians destroy any opportunity to keep a conversation going.
Me: How are you doing today?
The conversation just died right there.
Yes, Christians are all of the things Hat Lady just said. I firmly and fully believe it.
Though, how are we going to encourage an atmosphere of openness in our churches when the conversation dies in less than 5 seconds?
If the desire of our heart is to have a church overflowing with hurting and broken people, we need to be more honest and become better listeners.
Isn’t this the cry of every church? To be filled with broken hearted people who need Jesus to rock their worlds?
Here’s what I’m not saying: Stay stuck in your past. Always talk about it and never change.
Jesus Christ can and will redeem and restore you no matter how broken you are.
This doesn’t change the fact that broken hearts take time to heal.
What better place to heal than in a loving family of fellow believers who are committed to listening and helping each other move toward the best God has for us?

Marriott Rewards has been emailing select members over the past couple of days over the changes coming to the program this week.
The subject line of the email is “Your Marriott Bonvoy Checklist Is Here”. I am not sure why they haven’t sent it to everyone because it clearly states that the award categories are changing on March 5?
You can access Marriott’s page for the award changes here.
The email very subtly on the top hints that there are changes to the award categories on March 5 but doesn’t explore this beyond category 8.
Marriott on Friday released the list of changes to roughly 5% of hotels that are changing on number of points required for awards on that date (read more here).
It would be wise to send these to everyone and to be clearer about the property moves on that date so that members could make informed decisions how to use their points.

I described it elsewhere tonight, before I knew of "Safety" category here. Again, Potassium Chlorate, sugar, shaved wax, and sulfur, "triturated" together in porcelain mortar & pestle, deflagrated very fast, 2nd degree burns, 13 years old!
Best philosophy is Chlorate, NO Sulfur!
Chlorate formed an essential part of the development of firework comps because it was the first available oxidiser that would make colours. It's still essential but only in small niche markets. For most purposes there is a better oxidiser, for those purposes where chlorate is essential there are many safe ways of working.
I put chlorate , black copper oxide and aluminum power in a mortar and pestle and began mixing ( basically copper thermite with chlorate).... thanks be to God that I was wearing safety goggles because it burst into flame sending molten metal all over my goggles. I would be blind otherwise.
I recently tried what happens when I replace KNO3 with KClO3 in sugar rocket fuel.
That all multiplied by 4.
Then I dissolved componens in water and then started to boil out the water.
When most of the water was evaporized and the temperature was 110 C, that mixture self ignited and burned away in a fraction of a second. Big fireball and a lot of smoke.
Nothing bad happened because I worked outside my garage and used basic protection.

But when Red Riding-Hood saw the wolf she felt frightened. The creature was dressed as her grandmother, but did not look quite the same.
“All the better to smell you with, my dear,” said the wolf.
“All the better to see you with, my dear,” said the wolf, showing his teeth, for he longed to eat the child up.
“All the better to eat you up with,” growled the wolf, and, jumping out of bed, he rushed at Little Red Riding-Hood .
Just at that moment the door flew open and in rushed Grandmother, having just arrived back from market to find Little Red Riding Hood in dire danger. She whacked the wolf soundly on the snout with her new broom. The startled wolf ran about the cottage in panic, being smacked repeatedly by Grandmother’s broom, until by luck he happened upon the door and rushed out. The wolf did not stop running until he reached the safety of his own grandmother’s den at the far side of the forest.

I have spent the last two decades covering motor races in South Africa, the UK and in Europe. As a result of this activity I have built up a vast archive of images from these events which have been used in publications around the world. Our photo agency, Virtual Motorpix (VMP), was formed in 2010 with the aim of organising this archive and better serving the publishing industry by bringing this large resource before an interested readership. To this end, and in an effort to illustrate the breadth and depth of this archive, I am creating a NEW #MiniSeries that looks back at the achievements of various manufacturers in Prototype and GT endurance racing at selected European races over the last decade. While it would be too long to record in detail every race or happening with all cars of a certain type, I have attempted to bring you a snapshot of some of what we do have. In the first of my #MiniSeries, I am uncovering some of the images that tell the story of the Corvette racing cars, charting some of the successes and the disappointments of this car over this period.
As you can see from this pair of images, when you are at Silverstone in May you are never very far away from getting wet, although it must be said, that this day was one of the wettest in years, making it very interesting indeed. This race was for the European GT3 Championship, the opening round of the 2006 FIA GT Championship season at Silverstone on 7 May.
Driving the #21 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06.R GT3 (Callaway), the French pairing of Philippe Charriol/Christopher Campbell finished 27th in Race 1 and 29th in Race 2. The #20 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06.R GT3 (Callaway) of Benjamin Dessange/Marc Sourd did not fair as well, posting a DNF in Race 1, but finishing 28th in Race 2.
2007 was a very busy year for VMP on many different fronts, and in this year we covered both the Silverstone FIA GT round as well as the Le Mans 24-Hour race. This time round, the day was dry and cold but overcast at times, giving the drivers and spectators a good race.
Despite losing its bonnet and part of its front left fender, the #19 Chevrolet Corvette C6.R Z06 of Philipp Peter (A)/Luke Hines (GB) finished in 13th place (2 laps behind the winner), having started from 13th on the grid.
The Le Mans race, the 75th running of this great event, was notable for many things, one of them being the absolute deluge on the Saturday afternoon. But then Le Mans is renowned for throwing every kind of weather at you at any stage, and with little notice. The hot weather and the building storm clouds gave some warning, but the downpour that followed caught many by surprise, to which the Rockenfeller accident in the Audi R10 TDI after just 23 laps would bear testament. The #70 Corvette C6.R of Philipp Peter/David Hallyday/Claude-Yves Gosselin would survive the eventful 24-hour race to finish in 28th overall and twelfth in the GT1 class.
Being at the Spa 24-Hours, you can bet your bottom dollar that at some stage you are going to get showered on, it comes with being in the region of the Ardennes. The Spa 24-Hours is a really great event because you get a real mix of cars and teams, including some serious machinery like the Maserati MC12s who were triumphant with a 1-2 finish that year. Spa is great for another reason, and that is that you get such awesome photo opportunities because of the hills and forest backdrops.
The race started dry, then Saturday evening it rained, while Sunday was dry through to the end of the race. But this wasn’t a good race for the Phoenix Carsport Racing Corvette C6.R Z06 driven by Hezemans/Fässler/Delétraz/Gollin, as they went out with a car fire. Marcel Fässler of course went on to drive for Audi, first in the ALMS in 2008, but as from 2010 he became a permanent fixture in the Audi Team.
Entered by Luc Alphand Aventures (Alphand is a former French World Cup alpine ski racer), the #72 Corvette C6.R Z06 was driven here by the French duo Richard Balandras and Michel Lecourt. Having started from 31st place on the grid, the car moved up the field to finish 22nd overall. Here the Corvette approaches the Luffield Complex.
The brainchild of Stéphane Ratel of SRO, 2010 was the debut season for the FIA GT1 World Championship, replacing the FIA GT Championship which had run from 1997 to 2009. It was the first sports car racing series to be sanctioned by the FIA as a World Championship since the end of the World Sportscar Championship which drew to a close when Group C was terminated at the end of 1992. The new championship was run over ten races in ten countries covering three continents, and was contested by twelve teams. Although each team was effectively privately run, a limited amount of support was allowed by each manufacturer represented. The six teams included Aston Martin, Corvette, Ford, Lamborghini, Maserati, and Nissan, each being represented by two teams but provision for only one tyre manufacturer was made, this being Michelin.
The Silverstone race was the second on the calendar that year in the new series, with the Ford GT having taken the honours at the opening race at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi in mid-April. Although Oliver Gavin in the Mad-Roc Corvette set the early qualifying pace, they were well off the pace by the end of the session. During the early part of the race, however, it was announced over the Tannoy that a Corvette had burst into flames. I was in the pits at the time and there was no chance of me making it across to the location of the incident quickly. So I just had to wait there for the car to be returned to the team. Apparently the #14 Phoenix Racing Corvette began to emit smoke down the Hangar Straight with Mike Hezemans behind the wheel. When the car eventually came to a stop, the rear of car was immediately enveloped in flames, and while Hezemans escaped from the scene unharmed, the race was delayed while the track was cleaned up. I was able to catch a few shots of the damaged car as it was off-loaded from the rescue truck in the paddock, much to the chagrin of the team.
Perhaps the most significant piece of Le Mans history this year was that the 40-year old distance record of 3315 miles set by Helmut Marko/Gijs van Lennep in the Porsche 917 back in 1971, was broken by the winning Audi R15-Plus by a distance of 47 miles. For the 2010 Le Mans race, Luc Alphand entered two Corvettes in the GT1 class, #72 and #73, while the factory entered an additional two GT2 cars. It would be the #72 Corvette C6-R of Policand/Gregoire/Hart that would be the only surviving Corvette to cross the line after 24-hours of racing, the other three dropping out with assorted engine and gearbox woes. What promised to be an entertaining class scrap between the two Corvettes, a lone Saleen and Aston Martin, three Ford GTs and a single Lamborghini, actually faded to a whimper as the Saleen took class honours followed by the #72 Corvette and the Aston Martin in third. These three cars were the only ones to finish the race in the GT1 class, the other five cars in class failing to finish.
Both of our photos selected for this year are from the Le Mans 24-Hour race. This was the first year that the GT class was redefined and split into GTE (E = Endurance) Pro and Am. The Pro class was aimed at fully professional drivers whereas the Am class was logically for amateur drivers who basically drove 1-year old cars, which meant that the Pro class was really the preserve of the manufacturer works teams. It’s an interesting concept which has its pros and cons, but that is a discussion for another time.
The C6.ZR1, new for 2009, was a significant evolution of the C6-R which debuted at the Sebring 12-Hours in March 2005. The 2009 car boasted an aluminium frame, and the car was basically prepared for the hotly contested GT2 class where it would come up against Ferrari and Porsche, as well as Aston Martin. The GT2 design differs from the GT1 car in that it is homologated on the wider ZR1 road car, whilst the original C6.R was based on the Z06.
This was a good year for the Corvettes at Le Mans, as the Pro class was won by Garcia/Milner/Beretta in the #73 C6.ZR1, while the Am class went to the #50 Larbre Competition Corvette of Bornhauser/Canal/Gardel. Audi romped home victorious yet again, but Peugeot were hard on their heels.
This was the second year on the trot for the Audi trio of Fässler/Tréluyer/Lotterer who took the chequered flag at the end of the 24-hour race, a remarkable achievement. 2012 was also significant in that the spectators were treated to the innovative Delta Wing Project 56 racer, an ambitious step by both the ACO and Ben Bowlby with his Delta Wing team.
In GTE qualifying, it was the #74 Corvette that grabbed third spot on the grid in the Pro class, but the Am class an all-Porsche affair. In the race itself though, it was quite a different matter as the #73 and #74 Corvettes both succumbed to non-driver related problems, pushing them well down the order. A glorious battle between #50 Corvette and the #67 Porsche kept the crowds on their feet, but it was the Corvette that claimed the laurels in the GTE Am class (in the accompanying image, the driver can be seen waving to his pit crew on the wall at the finish). The best of the works Corvettes, the #73 car, only managed fifth place in the Pro class, two laps behind its Am colleagues. The #50 Am Corvette finished just seven laps behind the class winning Ferrari in the GTE Pro class, a phenomenal result after 24 hours of racing.
Silverstone was the first WEC race of the 2013 season, and being in April the weather would always try and throw a bit of winter back at those who were hoping for a burst of warm weather. No such luck! There was some unhappiness in the pit lane with the new qualifying sessions which had been reduced to a 20-minute short blast for the two nominated drivers, the grid position being calculated as the average of the best lap times for each driver. The problem was that it only gave each driver a short window of two quick laps in addition to the in and out laps, and the car’s tyres usually required 5 or 6 laps to get to operating temperature. Anyway, it was the same for the whole field, but it didn’t go down very well. In the race it was the #50 Corvette of Julien Canal/Patrick Bornhauser/Fernando Rees, the sole Corvette in the field, that finished second in the GTE Am class at the end of a cold, but dry 6-hour race.
The 2013 Le Mans race was perhaps not Corvette’s best performance. After qualifying, the two Pro Corvettes found themselves in eighth and ninth places while the two Am cars were down in eleventh and twelfth on the grid in their class. Either this could have been as a result of everyone else being faster, or there was some problem with the ‘Vette’s speed. An inside source told me that it was the latter, ‘they were 10mph down on top end and the engineers just cannot fathom what it is,’ I was told. But then the car was at the end of its development life and the new ‘Vette was due the following year. At the end of the race the Pro Corvettes finished fourth and seventh, with the Am cars finishing the race fifth and eleventh in class. This race will of course be remembered for all the wrong reasons, as the Dane Allan Simonsen, driving an Aston Martin in the GTE Am class, lost his life in a high speed accident at Tertre Rouge on only the third lap of the race.
The 2014 Le Mans practice week was jam-packed with action. Several cars tried their best to demolish the barriers at the Porsche Curves, these including the #1 Audi, an LMP2 car and then no less than five GTE cars all had a go. However the barriers withstood this concerted and repeated effort, which leads one to appreciate just how difficult this set of curves is for all classes of cars and drivers.
The Corvettes were present with their new generation C7.R, the much anticipated seventh generation ‘Vette, which had its debut at the 2014 Daytona 24-Hour race. The C7.R featured a new aluminium chassis which employed a patented welding process resulting in a race chassis that is 40 percent stronger than the outgoing C6.R which translated immediately into a better handling car. The new car also featured a direct injection engine for the first time since the end of the GT1 era in 2009, but the engine is limited by GT rules to a maximum displacement of 5.5-litre.
How did this translate into racing results? Well, the Corvette GTE Pro #73 started from second place on the grid and finished the race in second place. Likewise, its #74 sibling started from fourth on the Saturday and finished in fourth place too. You could argue that they were at least consistent, but that isn’t what the drivers and team would want to hear, especially with their new car.
NOTE: The above are images taken at various European races, but we also have access to ALMS, IMSA/Tudor, Grand AM racing pics (you can find a selection on our website, just click the link on the photos above).
