| Get fit, shed pounds and love life at the Highland Boot Camp
Running from October 5-9, participants will spend an intensive week working on breaking bad eating habits, freeing themselves from cravings and working on extensive cardio exercises. Using techniques including neuro linguistic programming (NLP), attendees will focus on how to change their behaviour while learning how to stay on track permanently and shed those unwanted pounds. Upon arrival, a typical day will consist of a morning mind and fitness workshop, a cardio workout, life coaching session and exercise ball workout. After breaking for a nutritional lunch, boot campers have a session of NLP and some motivational games before finishing the activities for the day to return to the calm and quiet of the hotel. Iain Miller, general manager at Hilton Coylumbridge, said: "With a huge range of activities on offer and such incredible natural beauty on our doorstep, the Cairngorms is the perfect setting for our guests to take the time out to recharge their batteries as well as lose those extra pounds." The camp is run by personal trainer Tracy Griffen and life coach Eilidh Macdonald-Harte.
Ready to take action
Thursday morning, about 15 officers were broken up into groups to practice handling four active-shooter situations. Earlier in the week, the officers received instruction on different techniques to apprehend a gunman. Thursday, officers in the third group, made their way to the second floor of Booth Central as gunshots echoed in the stairwell. As they headed toward the sound, a man came running out, his hands up as he was yelling, “Help me! Help me!” The man was guided to safety and then the officers rushed the room with guns ready. A bit of hesitation was shown, however, as they were going through the classroom doorway. “Don’t ever expect the person in front of you to go in one direction. You just go in the opposite direction of them,” Chris Garibay, ISP sergeant, said.

Volunteer and Get Fit With Fido
There are organizations such as Get Fit With Fido in Seattle where you can volunteer to exercise shelter dogs. Walking or running with a dog is a great skill you can offer, and not only will the pooch love the attention and fresh air, but you'll also benefit from the furry companionship. Not to mention, both of you can stay fit together. Another plus is that when you take the dogs out, you can help them find a home faster since more people will get to meet them. Obese dogs that trim down will also find homes quicker since pudgier pooches tend to get overlooked by people wanting to adopt. Exercised dogs are also calmer and train more easily, so their good manners and friendly demeanor are also a bonus for prospective pet owners. So if you don't have your own dog to run with, borrow one that is in need of your love and attention.
Team Spirit: Meet 7 Off-the-Field Stars Who Help Make Ravens Games
Guilt, at first, drove the Schers to the discount store, where they piled carts high with tenderloin, hot dogs, ground beef, shrimp, chicken wings and ribs. They recalled the painful departure of the Baltimore Colts, which came after fan support had ebbed. "The Colts left for a reason," say 52-year-old Marc Scher. "I'm not saying it was our fault, but we told ourselves that if we were ever lucky enough to get another NFL team, we would do our share to support it." Adds Gary, 48: "As fans we felt we had a responsibility. It's not just going to the game and cheering, it's celebrating the whole day. If we can give all that we have, we feel better for not being the best fans before." These days, though, the Schers' tailgating is more modest. Their oldest brother, Michael, died of cancer in 2005.
