Waist, not weight, key to long life
Putting on the pounds
Waist, not weight, key to long life
Putting on the pounds
Yes the size of your omentum.
But what can I do? I have a large quad belly.
I barely eat, and I eat very healthy! But it keeps getting bigger.
Mona, I am in your position. I've been eating so healthy and I've dramatically cut my calorie and fat intake. I'm doing what upper body exercises I can as well. I feel my metabolism has totally stopped. Does anyone know of tricks to increasing it?I feel disgusting and this really worries me. If you find a trick , let me know please!
BTW, I can tell in your profile picture that you have lost weight
LOL I AGREE what can we do about that dam gut . i am very self conscious of it
as i was flat tommy till i got sci
any thing we can do.i eat pretty health i have put on 7 lbs in 7 yr lol wt 132 and i am 57
was 5'4' beforse sci and wt 126
same problem. I cant eat hardly anything. and my belly is huge the rest of me isnt at all.
My face, arms, and legs are skinny.
But my gut is 31" wide. Unbelievable!
I worked out 1 1/2 hrs & ran 6 miles 3-5 days a week before.
I don't eat sugar, white bread, white floor, white rice.
I eat salmon, chicken, raw & steamed fresh or frozen veggies.
I'm serous I eat better than I've every eaten.
But my gut keeps getting bigger.
If I cut back my bowels stop moving.
You not only have to eat fiber but must eat enough to get it to move.
Help! Anyone? Someone? What can we do?
Thanks wtf I guess I need to cut back on carbs.
I lost on Atkins before but it's so unhealthy.
I'll try somewhere in between.
I watch a Dr's show on tv & she mentioned CLA conjugated linoleic acid.
It's suppose to reduce fat in your belly. So I'm going to try it.
If you're interested in taking CLA to help with weight loss, keep in mind that it's not a magic, and you will need to start a program of diet and exercise in order to successfully lose weight and keep it off.
- Increases metabolic rate -- This would obviously be a positive benefit for thyroid patients, as hypothyroidism -- even when treated -- can reduce the metabolic rate in some people.
- Decreases abdominal fat -- Adrenal imbalances and hormonal shifts that are common in thyroid patients frequently cause rapid accumulation of abdominal fat, so this benefit could be quite helpful.
- Enhances muscle growth -- Muscle burns fat, which also contributes to increased metabolism, which is useful in weight loss and management.
- Lowers cholesterol and triglycerides -- Since many thyroid patients have elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, even with treatment, this benefit can have an impact on a thyroid patient's health.
- Lowers insulin resistance -- Insulin resistance is a risk for some hypothyroid patients, and lowering it can also help prevent adult-onset diabetes and make it easier to control weight.
- Reduces food-induced allergic reactions -- Since food allergies can be at play when weight loss becomes difficult, this can be of help to thyroid patients.
- Enhances immune system -- Since most cases of thyroid disease are autoimmune in nature, enhancing the immune system's ability to function properly is a positive benefit.
I'm a T12 with a huge belly. I hate it. I need to committ to some form of exercise. I want to swim three times a week, but find excuses not to do so. Weather it be getting there or having too much to do, or just not feeling like it. I wasn't an exerciser before so becoming one now is challenging. I don't have anyone around me to support me. It's frustrating and I know it's important to my life.
you might want to try the vitaglide cardio machine. see www.vitaglide.com
you will burn calories and helps tighten waist if you have some muscle there.

Last year, the Museum of Modern Art caused a ruckus with a plan to raze its neighbor, the former American Folk Art Museum building, designed by Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. So MoMA trustees hired the architecture firm Diller Scofidio & Renfro to explore alternatives to demolition that would still permit expansion.
But last week, that firm's architects joined with Glenn D. Lowry, MoMA's director, to say that, unfortunately, the building needs to be torn down after all. They saw no way around it.
What's left to be said?
Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio seemed genuinely sorrowful about the outcome. Gifted architects, they brought to the High Line an energy and vision that recognized obstacles as opportunities, the clash of old and new as a virtue, when many people favored tearing down those elevated tracks. Where did that energy and vision go?
A city presents endless constraints out of which creativity emerges, or it doesn't. There were plenty of good reasons to raze the old Pennsylvania Station 50 years ago, but that didn't mean that it was wise. It would be truly radical for MoMA to save the former folk art building, but that's not what the museum has ever really been about. MoMA wants more gallery space, and the expansion that drives the planned demolition is just more MoMA madness.
MoMA and Diller Scofidio hoped to sweeten the pill by promising improvements to the museum's lobby and opening its sculpture garden to the public free during museum hours. They also propose, in place of the razed building, a Gray Box for performances, above an Art Bay, with a retractable glass wall and spaces for yet-to-be-conceived presentations, visible from the street.
That plan for the former folk museum site sounds a lot like the one Diller Scofidio has proposed for the Culture Shed, a glossy event and exhibition center without portfolio, cooked up under the Bloomberg administration to fulfill the "culture" requirements for Hudson Yards, the West Side commercial development. If you build it, they will come, is the concept. Across West 53rd Street from MoMA, the Donnell Library Center, a long-shuttered branch of the New York Public Library, is scheduled to reopen late next year at the same spot but in the bowels of a new luxury hotel, at a third of its former size, with wide bleacher seating and steps as the main feature.
"More like a cultural space, which is about gathering people, giving people the opportunity to encounter each other," is how the library's architect, Enrique Norten, describes the plan.
It's all the same flimflam: flexible spaces to accommodate to-be-named programming, the logic of real estate developers hiding behind the magical thinking of those who claim cultural foresight. It almost never works.
As for the opening of MoMA's Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, it's a nice gesture and possibly transformational, making one of the city's treasures available to everyone. That said, the place has always been a sanctuary, a retreat with a view back onto the city, and who knows how it will work when it's opened to the street and entered, as it rarely is, from the north. I wonder what Philip Johnson, who designed the garden in the early 1950s, might say. (He died in 2005.) The site was never intended as a public park.
"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded" is Yogi Berra's famous phrase. Let's hope that's not the case.
The neighborhood already has Paley Park, and Central Park isn't far. But the fabric of the surrounding streets does need more outliers like the former American Folk Art Museum building to stem the increasing monotony of glass towers. MoMA, far from being one of those outliers, has pretty much become like Extell and other Midtown developers, waiting to gobble up property and expand its own shiny glass palace. I walked around and looked at the four-story buildings in the area. How long can they last? The folk art building is barely a dozen years old. MoMA acquired it in 2011, after the American Folk Art Museum defaulted on its debts and had to move to smaller quarters near Lincoln Center.
It was, from MoMA's perspective, never architecture, just real estate — business, nothing personal — a parcel of land between the existing museum building, most recently designed just a decade ago, by the Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi, and the site of a luxury condominium tower, designed by Jean Nouvel, the base of which has been set aside for MoMA galleries. To move smoothly from the galleries in Mr. Taniguchi's building to the ones in Mr. Nouvel's and back again is best achieved, Ms. Diller insisted last week, by designing a continuous loop so that people can enter the new rooms at one end and exit at the other. This demands passageways slicing through the folk art museum site.
And voilà. "To save the building, we had to lose too much of the building," is how she regretfully put it.
So there was no choice, Mr. Lowry said. Progress rolls on. Manifest Destiny has its costs.
In retrospect, Diller Scofidio had an implicit conflict of interest, taking on the expansion at the same time it swore to leave no stone unturned when it came to finding alternatives to demolishing the former folk art building. Accepting the expansion made establishing a continuous loop the bottom line.
But the expansion into the condo tower seems the real problem. It is a move that, aside from vandalizing MoMA's claim to be a custodian of architecture and design, adds too little. The 40,000 or so square feet that the museum will gain, far from ideal, can't begin to solve the current overcrowding. Traffic engineers know that adding an extra lane to a clogged highway only worsens congestion.
The whole layout and concept of the museum must be reconsidered from scratch, which goes beyond architecture to the institution's mind-set. MoMA is now as jammed and joyless as the Van Wyck Expressway on a Friday in July. That's not because it is a victim of its own success; it's because the museum is a victim of its own philosophy. This is not just nostalgia talking.
MoMA's leaders seem to have failed to seize a crucial opportunity when they negotiated for space in return for the sale of the condo site to Hines, the Houston developer. What were they imagining for MoMA's expansion before the folk art site became available? How were the circulation problems to be solved back then?
Now it seems clear that they aren't inclined toward out-of-the-box alternatives, like off-site places to grow, akin to MoMA PS1, in Long Island City, Queens. I remember the temporary home the museum occupied in Queens during its last renovation. It briefly got MoMA out of its Midtown straitjacket and closer to its pioneering roots.
Wedged onto a narrow plot, the ill-fated folk art building is far from perfect. Inside, it's mostly stairwells and passages, its galleries tricky to install. But the eccentricity helps to account for what endears it to architects. Those bespoke, domestic-size spaces, like the building's sober hammered bronze facade, share something with the handicraft of the folk art museum's collection; the building has a rootedness, a materiality, an outsize claim to significance. It stands proudly on the street, the unfashionable antithesis of generic, open-ended modernism, the opposite of what Diller Scofidio now envisions in its place, with its paradigm of indefinite and perishable culture.
Might the new city administration have any excuse or inclination to weigh in on the demolition and new MoMA plan? Once upon a time, there was talk about at least saving the facade of the folk art building, a token to posterity. Ms. Diller dismissed the idea. "Facadism," she called it. Fair enough. But Mr. Williams and Ms. Tsien affixed a panel inscribed with the names of all the workers who helped build the American Folk Art Museum.
MoMA should save that.

Message on Jen's birthday
Today we wake with heavy, heavy hearts… it is our beautiful Jen's birthday, her much awaited 21st.
Nothing could be more painful … our beautiful girl is not here with us … but her spirt is everywhere. We have been dreading the arrival of today, but the incredible legacy that Jenna has left us to follow and honour must give us the courage to carry on.
In truth Jenna's Getmeto21 campaign was less about her getting to her 21st birthday and more about her intense desire to make a difference in this world. It was Jenna's way of shaking the tree … her way of imploring South Africans to realise that literally thousands of people are awaiting transplants. Jenna did that, she woke us up to the dire need for organ donors in South Africa, and the difficult battle that patients and patient families with rare diseases face.
We, her family, will continue Jenna's work in her honour. From today the Jenna Lowe Trust will run as a non-profit organisation so that we can continue her GetMeTo21 organ donation drive; help raise awareness and funding for a much-needed State lung transplant unit (one of Jenna's deepest wishes); and help other patients and their families in South Africa with Pulmonary Hypertension to get the treatment and care they need.
Relate Bracelet for Jen launched on her birthday
To celebrate Jenna and all she stood for we have designed a red beaded RELATE bracelet that will raise funds for The Jenna Lowe Trust. Wear the change you want to see … and buy your stack of Jenna bracelets here.
Happy Birthday beautiful darling Jen; no words are adequate enough to describe how deeply you are loved and missed. Our hearts are broken, but our will to do right by you is not.
Gabi, Stuart and Kristi

Your annual vacation is an essential opportunity to unwind, relax and refocus your mind, ready to tackle everything with renewed vigor. However, it can be difficult to pick a destination which is both interesting and affordable. The world is packed with superb travel spots; from adventurous locations to the most relaxing resorts, there's something for everyone. The following value options will help you make the right choice without going over budget.
Tunisia has been slow to recover from terrorist attacks in 2014 and this makes it an ideal opportunity to visit this cultural gem. The country is full of history and culture and although Muslim here are plenty of areas which are tolerant of western society. There are an abundance of Roman remains in the North of the country and several of the sets from the Star Wars franchise still remain here.
South Africa
The fluctuations in currency have made South Africa an affordable and desirable destination. You can experience the amazing beauty of Cape Town, the sea and the African plains all from the top of Table Mountain. The city is full of culture and has a vibrant night life as well as a host of children friendly activities. Alongside the safaris you can also whale watch and even see the giant turtle on the beach just up the coast from Cape Town. March, April, May, September and October are the best times to visit for warm climates and the off peak process.
A simple dorm is still less than $10 US per night; your dollars really will go a long way in this mystical city. Shanghai is constantly changing and is vibrant, fun and exciting. Everywhere you go you will benefit from value for your money and you will always feel safe.
This idyllic haven does not feature highly on the tourist destination list. There are beautiful white sandy beaches and simple huts to stray and enjoy all the local delights. The resorts are not yet developed and travelers who go now will get to experience the real Samoa; an experience that will live with you forever.
Bali is one of the most famous destinations for those who are travelling around the world. You can choose to stay in a budget hotel, beach hut or a good quality, air conditioned beach side condo. The atmosphere and beach remain fantastic as does its popularity.
Uruguay is fast becoming one of the best ways to visit and witness South America. The atmosphere is laid back, the beaches remind you of paradise and the cuisine is fantastic! It is even home to the former factory of Fray Bentos; the word famous pie maker!
The Algarve region in Portugal remains one of the most popular destinations in Europe. Various budget airlines are now operating in the area making it an even more attractive destination. The family friendly resorts have fantastic beaches and child friendly facilities as well as a host of other facilities.
Although the hotels can be expensive here, there are an abundance of home stay possibilities and dorms which offer cheap accommodation and an experience of native life that can simply not be beaten. There are a huge number of attractions and temples to visit as Taiwan is a cultural gem.
Everyone should visit Eastern Europe at least once and Romania is an excellent example of what is on offer. Budget airlines abound making it easy to get here, although the average price of a hotel is starting to climb. There are many examples of the history and greatness if the Eastern European countries of yesteryear as well as a vibrant, bustling atmosphere which will sweep anyone off their feet! When visiting, it is essential to visit the medieval villages, the mysterious castles and the Blue Danube Delta.
Whether you're looking for a beach travel destination to spend your summer days with your loved one, or you're hunting for the finest Christmas holidays in Iceland, the world is your oyster. Make a sensible choice; not all destinations are expensive. Perform a thorough search and make plans in advance. This way you'll enjoy the most relaxing holiday!

One of the most common formatting effects in
traditional publishing, long absent from Web publishing, is justified
text — text that appears as a solid block. Justified text is possible
with the Text Align attribute, one of the seven options available in the CSS Block category, as shown in Figure 4. Indented paragraphs are also a possibility.
Dreamweaver includes an option for setting the Display attribute. As the name implies, the Display attribute determines how an element should be presented. Display
accepts a wide range of values — 18 in all — but only a few are
currently supported by even the latest browsers. That said, the
supported values — block, inline and, curiously enough, none — are very important indeed. Setting a Display attribute to None effectively hides the element to which the CSS attribute is applied; setting the same attribute to Block or Inline reveals the element. Many collapsible/expandable lists depend on the Display attribute to achieve their effects.
Table 3 lists the CSS Block options.
The Box attribute defines the placement and settings for elements (primarily images) on a page. Many of the controls (shown in Figure 5) emulate spacing behavior similar to that found in <table>
attributes. If you are already comfortable using HTML tables with cell
padding, border colors, and width/height controls, you'll quickly learn
how to use these Box features, which are described in Table 4.
To have the same padding or margins all around a box
area, check the Same For All option. This option allows you to set one
value — Top — to use for all four sides.
With Cascading Style Sheets, you can specify many
parameters for borders surrounding text, images, and other elements such
as Java applets. In addition to specifying separate colors for any of
the four box sides, you can also choose the width of each side's border,
as shown in the CSS Border category (see Figure 6). You can use eight different types of border lines, including solid, dashed, inset, and ridge. As with the Padding and Margin attributes in the Box category, Dreamweaver includes a Same For All option under the Style, Width, and Color attributes to save you the work of having to enter the same value for all four sides. Table 5 lists the Border options.
CSS Border attributes are especially useful for highlighting paragraphs of text with a surrounding box. Use the Box category's Padding attributes to inset the text from the border.

Masculine Names, Feminine Names, and Unisex Names
First, a little explanation may be in order. Gender, as it is understood in linguistics, is little more than a classifying tool, a way in which to arrange certain words. In Spanish, for example, the word árbol (tree) carries a masculine gender, and all adjectives and certain verbs must be altered to agree with masculinity. Sometimes identifying gender is easy. Hombre (man) is masculine while mujer (woman) is feminine. This makes perfect sense. Sometimes, though, the choice seems arbitrary and weird. Why, for instance, are cabeza (head) and casa (house) feminine while lapiz (pencil) and lago (lake) are masculine?
For English speakers who have not studied other languages, gender is a bizarre concept. English, the modern language, is well known for its lack of gender. Very few words can be considered deliberately masculine, or specifically feminine. We still do have a few distinctions, especially when words deal with people or animals (such actor/actress, bull/cow, boy/girl, rooster/hen, etc.) but certainly not everyday words like tree, house, yellow, tall, or desk.
Names, however, are a different story. Most names do carry an implied gender. William is, without doubt, a masculine name and Teresa is definitely a feminine name. Most names are usually either given to a boy, or to a girl. A few names can be given to either sex.
One of the noticeable trends of naming in the United States is the rise of unisex names, names that are given to both boys and girls indiscriminately. However, this is not a new trend. Indeed, English-speaking parents have been playing around with the concept of masculine names versus feminine names for a very long time.
The Middle Ages
Today, names are not translated out of their native language. John White stays John White, even if he moves to France. He does not change his name to Jean Blanc. He does not become Juan Blanco in Spain. He stays John White. However, this was not always the case. Until modern times a name was treated as a specialized word, as part of a language, and could be freely translated from its original language to another. The man English speakers know as John Cabot was actually Giovanni Cabato, and Christopher Columbus was born as Cristoforo Columbo in Italy, and called Cristobal Colon in Spain.
Most children in medieval Europe were named after saints, popes, and other figures of Christianity. The great bulk of these saints were of Greek or Latin origin and bore Greek or Latin names. So, when the Latin names of saints and martyrs were given to English children, the names were translated out of Latin (a language which has gender specific endings) and into English (where they lost their gender endings).
Say our medieval Englishman, John White, names his son Patrick, after the famous saint. In English, the Latin Patricus became Patric, or Patrick (losing the masculine ius). Patrick White is born.
But suppose John has a daughter instead. Being a devout man he still wishes to name his child after the great St. Patrick. In Latin, Patricus is a male name; it has a masculine us ending. To turn it feminine, the masculine ending us is turned to an ia, becoming Patricia. The Latin Patricia is translated to English, losing its Latinate, feminine ia.
The girl is also called Patrick White.
Thats right, in the medieval England Patrick was a unisex names. Other non-gender-specific names of the medieval England include:
Although these names never became popular for girls, they were not uncommon at all. So what happened? These names are all undoubtedly masculine names now. What changed? The answer: education.
French vs. English, Round One
Again, in the Middle Ages education was reserved for the nobility, and both nobility and education meant French. For in 1066 England was conquered by William the Conqueror (also called William the Bastard), a duke from Normandy, France. He brought his own nobles and retainers with him, rewarding his faithful followers by giving them great English estates. For the next few hundred years, the upper crust spoke Norman French, while their subjects spoke variations of Anglo-Saxon (Old English). This lasted for several hundred years until, gradually, the two languages merged to form Middle English. But even afterwards, until the 19th century, French language represented culture, refinement, and wealth.
The French language is derived from the Latin language, and both carry gender distinctions. In French, femininity is indicated not by an a but by an e ending. Masculinity is indicated by not having an e ending. Thus do we get Daniel (masculine) and Danielle (feminine); Denis (masculine) and Denise (feminine); Gabriel (masculine) and Gabrielle (feminine), etc. Thus it is through French-speaking English nobles that we get one of the earliest distinctions of femininity and masculinity in names.
For example, take the French masculine name Jehan (modern Jean), and an e to get the feminine Jehane. Take to England and they eventually become the John/Jane pair. The more educated a man was, the more likely he was to speak French and give his children French-influenced names.
The Age of Invention,
Or, Too Much Education
But things really picked up in the 18th century. It was during that time that many English scholars became enamored with ancient Greece and Rome. Well-meaning grammarians, convinced that Latin was the perfect language, picked up many of that languages grammatical idiosyncrasies and tried to apply them to English. These are the people to blame for our rules against split infinitives and double negatives. Their affection for ancient languages also affected naming habits.
Daughters of educated parents were no longer given the English translation of Latin names, but the actual Latin names themselves. Cecily gave way to Cecilia, Ann to Anna, Mary to Maria. Most importantly, by about the 17th century, girls were no longer named Patrick, Julian, Philip, or Gabriel, but the Latin Patricia, Juliana or Julia, Philippa, and Gabriella.
James, Alexander, Reynold, and Simon, became almost excessively masculine.
The Scotch, influenced by the French feminine ine ending, created many feminine forms by tacking an ina to popular masculine forms. They coined many unwieldy feminine names. Combinations like Adamina, Alexina, Davidina (Davina), Jamesina, Kenina, Malcolmina, and Williamina have all been noted.
Later (especially in the 19th century), this idea spread to the rest of the English-world and many faux-Latin names were created out by tacking an a or an ina onto popular masculine Germanic names. Thus Roberta, Alberta, and Edwina were created. Much more rarely, we see this phenomenon attached to old, Biblical Hebrew names and the occasional Nathania, Jonatha, or Matthea was born. Even Irish Gaelic like Brian, Fion, and Sean names have spawned Brianna, Fiona, and Shauna.
It was in the late 19th early 20th century that another trend appeared (especially in the American South). This was the practice of giving masculine diminutives to girls. Names like Johnnie, Willie, Frankie, Charlie, Billie, Robin, Jimmie, Jamie, Artie, Georgie, Eddie, Bobbie, Sammie, Robbie all suitable for little boys were now given as first names for girls.
Other times, a masculine diminutive is feminized by switching an I for a Y. Robyn, Bobbi, Jerri, and Terri are rarely mistaken as masculine. Robin, Bobby, Jerry, and Terry can go either way.
The 20th Century
Today we see masculine names like Alexis (introduced by a prime-time soap opera), or Ariel (like Madison, a famous movie mermaid), are often given to girls. However, John, William, George, and Henry are not. Most traditional male names too old, too well-established to make good girls names. Woe be to that unfortunate little boy named Sue.
But modern names like surnames-as-first-names, or made-up names, names which date from the 19th century and beyond, are fair game. It has become quite trendy to give children (especially girls) names that are not traditionally gender-specific. What happened this time? The causes are many.
In the mid-20th century, many well-meaning feminists decided that gender in words was wrong. These are the people to blame for bland, unwieldy creations like chairperson, congressperson, postal worker, etc. This naturally led to the belief that gender in names is also wrong, or at least unnecessary. This belief, coupled (and perhaps overshadowed) by a fanatic pursuit of the unusual is one of the causes of a new revolution, the unisex name revolution.
Thus Addison, Ansley, Ashley, Ashton, Bailey, Beverly, Cameron, Carson, Cassidy, Courtney, Delaney, Hailey, Harley, Hayden, Kelley, Kelsey, Kennedy, Kayley, Lindsey, Madison, Mackenzie, Peyton, Presley, Quinn, Reagan, Riley, Sage, Scarlett, Shelby, Taylor, Tyler, Whitney and yes, even Ryan and Hunter are now often given to little girls.
So it seems weve come full circle, from no gender to high gender and back again. The name Jordan, for example, began as a name for both boys and girls (when returning Crusaders saved tiny vials of water from the River Jordan in which to baptize their offspring). Gradually, it came to be known as purely male, and now is again given to both sexes.
(Although isnt it interesting to note that the ultra-feminine names of the Victorian era are also coming back into fashion; Daisy, Ruby, Lily, and Ella, were looking at you!)

Samsung's blaming a lower average selling price for devices for the fall in profits, reflecting that the continuing success of iPhones, coupled with the glut of good, cheap Android devices, is squeezing Samsung's high-end Galaxy range for all it's worth. The full extent of the damage will be clear later this month, when Samsung releases firm numbers for the quarter. [Reuters]

Bank of America Upgrades Raytheon to OW, PT $120
This morning BAML upgraded shares of RTN to OW and a PT of $120. Analyst Ronald Epstein believes that defense stocks like RTN are more attractive in an environment where emerging markets are in a recession, while developed markets are driving global GDP growth.
He continues to say that since the US government is the largest customer, costs and are denominated in USD thus making defense companies insulated from USD exchange rates and commodity prices. Furthermore, he also believes that lower oil prices may pressure the buying power of Middle Eastern customers.

Seriously awesome! (Like here)
I'm a little obsessed.
I also like chips. A lot.
Making them yourself is pretty easy and delicious.
Also, they should start selling this flavour. (Hear that, chip gods?)
So good.
Rosemary Garlic Potato Chips
- Potatoes (Purple, or not)
- Coconut oil
- Chopped Dried Rosemary
- Garlic Powder
- Sea Salt
1. Pre-heat oven to 350F.
2. Slice potatoes thinly.
*Using a mandolin slicer would make this way easier, but unfortunately my cheap one does not slice thin enough for my liking.
3. (Note: I am usually too lazy for this step, but people seem to think it makes for a better chip) With water, rinse the extra starch off your potato slices then dry them using a clean dish towel.
4. In a bowl mix chips with enough oil to cover them, then line them in a single layer on a parchment paper covered baking sheet.
5. Sprinkle rosemary, garlic powder, and salt to your taste over the sheet of potato slices.
6. Bake for about 20 minutes. I usually check on them at about 10 - 15 minutes and start taking out any crispy chips.

Will it revolutionize the way wrinkles are frozen? "Time will only tell," says Manhattan-based dermatologist, Patricia Wexler, who has used Botox for over 20-years. "As of now, Botox lasts up to three or four months. If Xeomin lasts longer up to six-months and meets all safety standards, then it's a home run." The main factor that currently separates Xeomin from its competitors is that its formulation is devoid of certain proteins which require refrigeration.

I absolutely, 100% support splitting the list into logical groups. It's an excellent idea.
However, why does it have to be done with indenting? The sidebar will always be horribly space constrained and by indenting you can see you've lost 2 characters from the longer items. That's quite a lot when you could only see about 10 or 11 characters in the first place.
I quickly whipped something up in GIMP which I think makes much more sense in this kind of context. The rationale is that the places sidebar is very unlikely to ever require indenting to a second level (since you can't drill down through folders in it), so the logical separation can be indicated simply with the section headings:

(I didn't spend enough time in gimp to put the extra two characters back into the "Better" column, but you can clearly see that there's enough space)
January 14th, 2009 at 4:44 am
Chris, you're lesser indentation is indeed an improvement … but the gray highlights aren't: Rhythmbox tried the very same thing, and it had to be hard-coded, which led to problems with dark themes. The blank space approach, i.e., just an arrow to the right, would be more sensible, it's a nice improvement.

Seattle Seahawks
As their last Super Bowl foe fades, Seahawks roll on to NFC title game redux vs. Packers
Just like that, the Denver Broncos go from last year's Super Bowl to a complete transition full of doubt.
Coach John Fox is out, as of Monday. Legendary quarterback Peyton Manning might not be back for an 18th season at the age of 39 with a new coach.
It can happen that quickly.
The Seattle Seahawks (13-4) know to behold this run they are on. Eleven months after beating Manning's Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII they are one win — Sunday's NFC Championship Game against Green Bay (13-4) at CenturyLink Field — from another one.
"Really look forward to this," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Monday of his second consecutive conference title game in his fifth season since leaving his national title run at USC. "Something that you hope for, that you get into this position, this opportunity. And our guys are really pumped up about it."
Carroll even seized the first omen of championship game week — for his team's fans from Puget Sound to Polynesia.
"I think it's only fitting that they're starting the game at 12 (noon Sunday). Worked really hard to negotiate that and finally got that done," Carroll deadpanned. "Hopefully our 12s will celebrate our 12 o'clock start.
"Anyway, we're really excited about it. Everybody is looking forward to this preparation and getting ready for, obviously, a fantastic football team.
"Here we go."
Here goes Max Unger, Byron Maxwell and Tony Moeaki, in particular.
Carroll said Unger should be fine to start for the second consecutive time on Sunday after he missed six consecutive games with a high-ankle sprain. The two-time Pro Bowl center got the same ankle turned late in the fourth quarter of Seattle's 31-17 victory over Carolina in the divisional round Saturday.
"He looks good. I think he's come out OK," Carroll said. "Very fortunate on that one."
Unger is the Seahawks' glue to the offensive line that for most of two seasons, including this one when Unger has missed 10 games, has struggled in pass protection. His return Saturday resulted in Russell Wilson generally having the time to find Jermaine Kearse, Luke Willson, Doug Baldwin and Paul Richardson for 268 yards and three touchdowns on just 15 completions. His 149.2 passer rating in his sixth playoff game was his career postseason high — and just missed a perfect rating of 158.3.
Wilson got that perfect rating when it counted, on third downs: 8 for 8, 199 yards and all three touchdowns.
What a difference an Unger makes.
"He was real solid. Pass protection was really good. Our consistency, just like we had hoped, was there along with the communication," Carroll said. "So it was a good start back for him. He hadn't played in a long time so you have to kick the rust off a little bit.
"I'm sure he'll feel better the next time out after getting a full game of full speed playing."
Carroll also said Maxwell, his starting cornerback, is better after a cold last week that had him short of breath and not starting against Carolina. Maxwell got just four snaps on special teams while Tharold Simon played for him — and Simon got burned often, including for the Panthers' only two touchdowns.
Moeaki should be fine to play this weekend after missing the game against Carolina because of a calf injury. That return could open up the outside for the wide receivers; the last four of the catches for Moeaki, a midseason signing when starting tight end Zach Miller went on injured reserve, have gone for first downs.
Carroll already seem to start some of the gamesmanship Monday, too.
Rookie wide receiver Paul Richardson tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee Saturday during the third quarter. Usually when roster spots are open to be filled, as Richardson's is, Carroll is coy about how he might fill it.
Not Monday. The Seahawks' coach uncharacteristically went on and on about how the team will fill Richardson's place — by promoting its practice squad quarterback.
"Yes, we're going to move up B.J. Daniels," Carroll said of San Francisco's seventh-round draft choice in 2013 that Seattle acquired a year later. "We're really excited to do that. He has been a guy that has been really impressive to us all year long. It's a classic example of rewarding a guy that has been competing his butt off."
Then he gave the Packers coaching staff something new to think about this week.
"He's going to help us in a number of spots. Of course he's a third-string quarterback but we'll work to see how he fits in on special teams," Carroll said. "He's a backup returner for us. He can play running back and wide receiver as well. He's been doing that all year. So he's a very versatile guy for us to bring to life right now."
Daniels has been practicing on offense the last month. But Carroll talking at length about a practice squad promotee who can run and play multiple positions seemed like a message.
It won't be the last one this week. Not with a place in the Super Bowl at stake.
"It's been a wonderful experience for all of us," Carroll said of his Seahawks and their title defense season so far.
"And I'm happy to be a part of it."

On Tuesday, prosecutors will drop sexual assault charges against Dominique
Strauss-Kahn. The French politician resigned as head of the International
Monetary Fund after he was accused by a hotel maid of
sexually assaulting her when she went into his room to clean it. Prosecutors say that they
have doubts about the maid's credibility and do not want to present
the case before a jury.
The case is largely one of he-said, she-said, and prosecutors don't
believe they can prove the case against Strauss-Kahn beyond a reasonable
doubt with the maid's word against that of Strauss-Kahn. Prosecutors
learned while investigating the woman's history that she lied about
being gang raped in her native West African country of Guinea in her application
for asylum in the U.S.
Strauss-Kahn said that a sexual encounter took place when the maid was
in his room, but that it was consensual. He said that when he refused
to pay the maid after the sexual encounter, she brought a sexual assault
accusation against him. He and his attorneys portrayed his accuser as
someone who is seeking money through making the accusation. Prosecutors
say that she was recorded in a phone conversation with her imprisoned
fiancé saying that Strauss-Kahn was a wealthy man.
She has also filed a civil suit against Strauss-Kahn, which is her right
to do so, but has been pointed out by Strauss-Kahn's defense as
further evidence that she is seeking money. Prosecutors are also not sure
of her motives in the case and so have ultimately decided not to pursue
it. The 32-year-old woman's attorney will appeal the decision.

Hi, I just hope you recorded the show at Kuumbwa last night because it was amazing, beautiful, stunning and superlative. Thanks very much for one of the best music events of my life. (~ Jim)
I just loved the exuberant fluid vibe that you all shared at that live gig in a small together place. It really was remarkable and memorable..everyone around us was feeling it too. We dug it. It was pure gold. It's like we all heard those songs for the first time again and you guys made them your own and, I think, better. We were laughing and crying it was so cool. It was amazing, I am not kidding, you were amazing..everybody. We were just really lucky to be along for a great trip. Thanks again Paul,all the best to everybody, (~C&J, Santa Cruz )
I've seen many, many shows at Kuumbwa since 1976..Joe Pass, The Great Guitars, Oscar Peterson, Toots, Max Roach, Wynton Marsalis, Dan Hicks, David Grisman, Bill Monroe, The Flecktones, New Grass Revival, Milt Jackson, Bobby Hutcherson, The Brecker Brothers, etc. The sheer joy, dexterity and deep feeling of the music you played took us to new places we will always remember. Too much? No. It's all true. We all felt it. It was beautiful. Thanks Hot Club SF (~J.Urban)

Viridor increases AD efficiency with Esterline's metallic thermal solutions
24/04/2015 - When Viridor Waste Management started to experience problems with the containerised gas burning generators at their Walpole AD plant in Somerset, they turned to Esterline for a solution. Poor insulation coverage had resulted in a loss of revenue, increased maintenance costs and reduced safety in the workplace. Esterline's E:Gen technology was able to reverse these issues, providing efficient metallic thermal insulation to the engine's hot surfaces to retain the heat. Derived from aerospace technology, E:Gen can be used for generator turbo covers, side covers and exhaust manifold assemblies; external pipework flange covers (it's both seagull and rodent proof); and non-return valve covers. Promising to make savings for CHP applications, it also delivers reduced ambient temperatures, reduced db levels and reduced personal burn risk, and complements HSE workplace safety initiatives.

History tells us it takes a long time to rouse the British, though once roused they see things through. Maybe the latest terrorist outrage will give second thoughts to all those well-meaning battalions of left and right and leaders of the Muslim community who have yet to see an anti-terrorism measure they approve. No to 90 days to question suspects; no to identity cards; no to selective telephone monitoring; and yes, in the name of free speech, to the radical mullahs brainwashing deluded youth.
A whole culture of complaint has grown up among the media and among leaders of the Muslim community. The protest letter signed by 38 Islamic organizations, with three MPs and three Lords, is typical of the buck-passing. They blame British foreign policy, which is unhistorical. The Islamic radicals were using Afghanistan as a base to plot mass murder, climaxing in 9/11, long before the ill-judged invasion of Iraq. They were planning murder, too, when Tony Blair was active in trying to establish a Palestinian state and negotiations with Israel were at an apex of hope. By attacking Blair instead of Osama, the protesters give the radicals a free pass and feed a sense of alienation among perennially disgruntled youth.
It is understandable that the leaders of the Muslim community are sensitive to a stereotype of Muslims as terrorists. Everyone knows the vast majority are decent, law-abiding citizens who deserve our sympathy and respect. But everyone knows, too, that the crimes are committed by Muslims in the name of Islam, and not by Christians, Jews, Buddhists. The anti-terror laws that draw protest do not discriminate, so why protest them?
As for too much of the media, the attitude is that typified in a 52-page document from the International Federation of Journalists - 52 alarm bells - where FIEJ describes the response of government to terrorism as "a devastating challenge to the global culture of human rights established almost 60 years ago ... we are sleepwalking into a surveillance society."
A devastating challenge to the global culture of human rights?
Speaking personally of challenges to human rights, I'd rather be photographed by a hidden surveillance camera than travel on a train or bus with killers carrying bombs in their backpacks.
Speaking personally, I'd regard being blowing to bits on the street as more of an intrusion on my privacy than having an identity card. I have only one identity; the terrorists hide behind multiple identities that require time to unravel.
Speaking personally, I'd rather have my phone subject to monitoring than know that terror plotting is going undetected.
There can be no security without freedom - but no freedom without security.
Of course, it is true that as well as the accident of the De Menezes tragedy, anti-terrorism measures have resulted in a number of notorious affronts to human rights. There is absolutely no justification for Abu Ghraib, nor for long-term detention without due process; but these shocking events, all properly exposed by a vigilant press, have led to prosecutions of the perpetrators. That is the way a free society works.
An editor at an international conference I attended recently said blame for the murders of journalists in Iraq - most of them Iraqi - is all because President Bush won't accept the Geneva conventions. I am not going to defend Bush's stubborn and stupid unilateralism on a whole range of issues, but it totally misunderstands the nature of terrorism today to think the Geneva convention, courts of law, or the "foreign policy" the Islamic organisations dislike, even remotely enter the thinking of Osama and his motley bombers.
The civil rights lobbies are working from a passé play book. They are blind to the lethal nature of the new Salafist totalitarianism. They won't recognize that we are facing an irrationalist movement immune to compromise and dedicated to achieve its ends of controlling every aspect of daily life, every process of the mind, through indiscriminate mass slaughter. It is a culture obsessed with death, a culture that despises women, a culture devoted to mad hatreds not just of Americans and Jews everywhere, but of Muslims anywhere who embrace a less totalitarian, less radical, more humane view of Islam. These Muslims are to be murdered, and have been in their thousands, along with "the pigs of Jews, the monkeys of Christians" and all the "dirty infidels".
Nor is the repellent language of hate limited to recognized terrorist groups like al-Qaida, Hizbullah and Hamas. It is in the school textbooks in Palestine and in the schools of our "ally", Saudi Arabia. They promised to clean them up but a recent Washington Post investigation showed the books still tell the young they have a religious obligation to wage jihad against not only Christians and Jews but also Muslims who do not follow the xenophobic Wahabi doctrine.
The Salafist movement was under-rated and misunderstood and the reaction to it has been confused. As always, the right is triggerhappy and hostile to free expression; as always, the left never wants to do anything that would hazard its self-righteous sense of moral purity.
These are historic fault lines. The right tolerated fascism in the thirties, the left Soviet Communism in the fifties. Of course these two earlier totalitarian movements were different in nature and our response when it came was not always well judged - the tendency is to think first of the excesses of the right typified by the witch hunts of the odious McCarthy, but we should remember, too, that the Democratic party in the immediate postwar years of Henry Wallace would have abandoned Europe just as the left in the eighties would have left Europe at the mercy of the new Soviet missiles.
The apologists for the Islamo-fascists - an accurate term - leave millions around the world exposed to a less obvious but more insidious barbarism.

San Telmo is the oldest neighborhood of Buenos Aires. It is a well-preserved area and is characterized by its cafes, tango parlors, antique shops on cobblestone streets, which are often filled with artists and dancers.
Mervyn Leong, Syed Azahedi, Mariana Castro and myself met in the San Telmo main square where we ambled for a few hours, photographing the stalls, the vendors, the customers and the flaneurs. To the side of the square, we stumbled on a solo tango performer who called himself Gardelito, presumably after Carlos Gardel who was a singer, songwriter and actor, and is the most prominent figure in the history of tango. For one of his songs, click here.
Gardelito is an old hand working the crowds, sings and plays the guitar quite well and knows how to market himself. He displayed his washed out photographs on a wall behind him, and claimed he was interviewed by all the world's major newspapers.
As a footnote, there's little doubt in my mind that the Buenos Aires Foundry Photojournalism Workshop was the best one organized so far since it was started by Eric Beecroft in 2008. I will post more on this in a few days.

This summer has been so busy. Good, but busy.
Most days we find ourselves going on an outing in the morning, then coming home for lunch and naps, and doing something closer to home in the afternoons.
I usually spend nap time doing dishes, cleaning up the dining room, throwing in a load of laundry, straightening up toys, messing around online, etc. When the kids wake up I'm exhausted. So, today, rather than trying to fit it all in, I decided to take a little break. Once all the lunch stuff was cleaned up I put on the kettle and took out my book. And for 25 glorious minutes I snuggled in on the couch with a cup of my favourite tea, some almonds and cranberries to snack on, and I read. A book written for adults.
I even almost made it through a whole chapter.
I think I'm going to have to do it again. Soon. Maybe even tomorrow. The laundry can wait.

How to Use Energy Efficient Window Coverings
Prevent Energy Loss with Window Coverings
Did you know that windows make up 10% of the insulated shell of a house on the average? Did you also know that more than half of heat and air conditioning is lost through windows? Window coverings are not just for a person's privacy keeping everyone from the outside seeing everything that goes on in your home but can help cut the cost of your heating and cooling energy bills. Window coverings are a great way to cut cost on your energy bills. Heat energy flows through double pain windows ten to fifteen times more then it flows through the walls of your home and your roof combined.
Benefits of Coverings
There are many different benefits to having coverings over your windows. One benefit, which is a huge benefit, is it cuts down on costs to heat and cool your home. When your windows are covered that keeps all the hot air or cold air in so your heating or cooling unit does not have to work as much. Having window coverings also help keep the electrical lighting energy bill down. Coverings on windows also protect your flooring and other household furniture from harmful UV rays, helping to increase the lifespan of your items and lengthen their time of use. Coverings can also reduce the amount of glare from the sun that enters your home. You can find window coverings that blocks up to seventy five percent of harmful sun rays that enter your home. If you add those types of window covering along with windows that are double glazed you can cut up to ninety nine percent of harmful sun rays that are able to enter your home.
An example on how covering can help your house is honeycomb shades from Hunter Douglas Window Fashions can minimize your energy when it comes to heating your home in the wintertime or any cold season.
Seasons can have an impact on your windows you have in your home. In the summer time energy flows through your home in a certain direction that does not change. And in the winter time solar energy can come in through the windows and takes over the heat energy that already exists in the windows so it take more heat to keep your house warm which in return costs more money to heat. The more energy heat or cool that is lost the more your furnace or air conditioning works the more money it costs. Also the difference window coverings can make for the look of your interior is amazing as well. Believe it or not window coverings can brighten up a room. Instead of one giant glare coming in the window covering disperse the light all around the rooms.

The Government was accused of taking risks with Britain's safety after it announced around 1,500 military personnel would lose their jobs in the final round of Armed Forces redundancies.
Philip Hammond, Defence Secretary, told Parliament the losses would include up to 1,425 soldiers, 10 medical officers from the Navy and 70 RAF medical staff.
The cuts will go into effect later this year and mark the fourth wave of redundancies since the Armed Forces were told to slim down after the cost-cutting 2010 defence review.
Troops targeted include around 350 Gurkhas and combat construction workers from the Royal Logistic Corps.
The Army is going through its biggest restructuring in recent years as the number of regulars falls to 82,000, units are lost or amalgamated and thousands of soldiers return from bases in Germany.
Generals are also trying to boost the number of reservists from 19,000 to 30,000, but have admitted they are struggling to hit recruitment targets.
Vernon Coaker, shadow defence secretary, said: "The Government is letting down our armed forces and their families, and taking risks with our nation's safety.
"The IT fiasco at the Ministry of Defence is costing millions of taxpayer pounds and hampering recruitment to the armed forces.
"The promised increase in the number of reserves - to make up for the gap left by these redundancies - hasn't happened."
Mr Hammond said the cuts were needed because the former Labour Government's economic mismanagement had left a funding black hole.
Col Bob Stewart, a former commander of British troops in Bosnia, asked if the Army would still be able to meet all its obligations.
While there was currently little appetite among the British for foreign interventions, he said the situation could change.
He said: "In my experience, the public can be very fickle - particularly when events happens and horrors as well.
"We now have with this tranche the smallest Armed Forces we have had for a very long time.
"Can you say, what everyone in this House feels, that our Armed Forces will now be up to any challenge they are asked to do with their smaller numbers and that our people should rest assured they would do that extremely well when called upon to do it?"
The British regular Army will be at its smallest for nearly 200 years when the reforms are complete.
Mr Hammond said the UK still had the fourth largest defence budget in the world "and on any fair and objective assessment the second most capable expeditionary armed force capability after the United States anywhere in the world."
