In case you missed it or the title of this post wasn't obvious enough, yesterday I shared that I did the Whole30! I wrote down my thoughts at the end of every day because 1. I wanted to remember what it was like in case I decide to do another round of Whole30 sometime in the future and 2. Knowing that I had to write something about that day was major motivation for me not to cheat!
Day 1: Today wasn't so bad! Actually, it wasn't bad at all! But I'm pretty sure this is the easiest day for everyone, so… One down, 29 to go. I can totally do this.. it's only 30 days.
Day 2: Ummm I've done it for a full day already… is the magic supposed to kick in yet? No? Really? Darn it.
Day 3: I ate healthy-ish before (or so I thought), so this really isn't too much of a shock. I would only have dairy or wheat once or twice a week, so I don't really feel like I'm missing out yet. I don't miss sugar… yet… but I know that will come!
Day 4: Based on the meals I've had so far, I'm probably going to be eating a lot of chicken. And salad. And eggs. I need to get better about cooking some more things.
Day 5: To really test this, I stopped taking my daily allergy medication to see if this process will help with my seasonal allergies. It was a sneezy day. Hopefully that changes soon.
Day 6: I feel like my appetite has dropped waaaaaaay down. Like, I wasn't hungry at all today, even at meal times. Is that normal? They talk about this in the book, but I don't remember what they said at the moment. I'll look it up.
Day 7: I had the most INTENSE craving today! I just wanted to eat all the cheese. Queso, pizza, more pizza, anything and everything with cheese!

CANDLE MAKING - SYDNEY 20th February 2020
A class for your eyes, your nose, your hands and your heart with our favourite Frenchie, Elise Pioch Balzac
Everything Elise touches turns to gold. Born in the South of France her childhood was filled with olfactory experiences of the most wondrous kind (think long lunches with foraged foods and lavender-filled baths). After years spent working in Paris for Hermes she moved to Australia and although she loved it she longed for the comforts of home. She found that her scent memory was the strongest and most evocative, and so her range of candles, Maison Balzac was born.
This evening class with the very charming Elise Pioch Balzac is where you become the candle and fragrance maker! In this class we dive nose first into the world of sensory experience and learn Elise's exact science of candle making. We will set up a 'lab' where you will select and pour your own candles. Who knows where this class will take you but you will leave with a collection of incredibly unique, decadent and beautifully fragrant candles, all hand poured.
You will be completely blown away by Elise's library of fragrances. Like La Rose - a posey of soft florals with tops of morning dew and white cotton, delicate buds of tea rose and geranium, powdered violet and a dry down of rosewood and soft musk. The inspiration was her Grandmother's garden filled with old fashioned roses and tiny wild violets. Or La Lumiere, a warm and spicy fragrance with top notes of soft grounded clove and oriental spices, middle notes of french leather and dark amber, followed by base notes of burnt cedar wood and labdanum tree. The idea was to recreate the smell of an old cinema with paper tickets, worn out leather seating and dusty floor boards.
Access to Elise's fragrance lab is a unique opportunity to learn this divine pastime using her incredible nose as your guide.
PLEASE bring in your old teacups, or heirlooms (the perfect way to make sense of a meaningful piece of china or a bequeathed tea cup) and learn the gentle art of candle making (approx 8cm diameter maximum). Otherwise we have jars on hand, 2-3 pieces per person.
6:30pm - 8:30pm
20th February 2020
Location: The School, 2/85 Dunning Ave, Rosebery
Price: $250 - This includes all wax and unique scents to use in making your own candles. Tea, wine and snacks will be served.
Note: Please don't think this is for vintage teacup people only, a few minimalists in our office are bringing their Danish glass and Japanese ceramics to fill.

Often we think we know more about what's healthy than we really do. Let's test your lifestyle knowledge.
- Which is healthier for you, olive oil or canola oil?
- What is the best dietary advice for your heart: eat less fat, eat more fiber, or eat more fish?
- How much more would you weigh in five years if you ate one more 100-calorie cookie every day?
- Which contains more sodium, a portion of cornflakes or a portion of potato chips?
- Who describes his or her life as less enjoyable, an obese child or a child with cancer?
- Who benefits more from exercise, a middle-aged person or an elderly person?
- Is happiness life-saving?
Question 1:
Which is healthier for you, olive oil or canola oil?
Everyone knows that olive oil is good for your heart. Right? Surprisingly, it's actually the omega-3 loaded oils, such as canola, walnut, flaxseed, and fish oils, that have been proven in scientific studies to save lives. Olive oil is better than butter, for sure, but canola oil is even better.
Question 2:
What is the best dietary advice for your heart: eat less fat, eat more fiber, or eat more fish?
In a large British trial, eating less fat, more fiber, and more fish were compared. Eating less fat and more fiber had no effect on mortality, but eating more fish reduced deaths by about 30 percent, mostly because it reduced heart disease. Eating more fish and other omega-3 rich foods is the best dietary advice for your heart.
Question 3:
How much more would you weigh in five years if you ate one more 100-calorie cookie every day?
What's a measly little 100 calories, right? Well, consider this: one additional 100-calorie cookie per day is almost one added pound per month. In five years, you would add 50 pounds just by eating an extra cookie every day.
Ultimately, that is terrific news, because it tells you how easy it is to lose weight, even if slowly. Take just one cookie out of your diet and you will lose 50 pounds in five years. We recognize, of course, that you neither want to get thin nor rich slowly. You want to be rich and thin by next Thursday. The truth is that you have almost as much chance of winning a lottery as permanently losing weight by crash dieting.
Question 4:
Which contains more sodium, a portion of cornflakes or a portion of potato chips?
One ounce of cornflakes contains more than 200 milligrams of sodium, even before you add milk. Potato chips vary by manufacturer, but generally contain between 120 and 180 milligrams of sodium per ounce. Most of the high blood pressure generating sodium in our diet is hidden in processed foods we never think of as salty. Canned food and soups are especially loaded with sodium.
Question 5: Who describes his or her life as less enjoyable, an obese child or a child with cancer?
Obesity in America has exploded in the last 20 to 30 years. Teenagers today are 31 pounds heavier than they were 30 years ago. This is a huge medical problem because obesity is the fastest path to heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and diabetes.
Jolly fat people exist only in fairy tales. In a recent study, obese children ranked their quality of life on par with children undergoing treatment for cancer. Obesity is anything but enjoyable.
Question 6: Who benefits more from exercise, a middle-aged person or an elderly person?
The FDA would approve the drug equivalent of exercise in about two minutes flat. Physical activity not only reduces obesity, it slows aging and picks up our spirits. We live an hour longer for every hour we spend physically active.
Unfortunately, we have become the ultimate sedentary society. We endlessly circle parking lots looking for the closest parking spot. We panic when we lose the remote control and—heaven forbid!—actually have to stand up to change the channel. Our children play video games rather than outdoor games.
Yes, our children need to be more physically active, but the original question was about us old farts out there, who are the ones who benefit the most from exercise. In the Honolulu Heart study, middle-aged men had 17 percent less heart disease if they walked 30 minutes daily, but elderly men had 50 percent less heart disease. The older we get, the more we need to exercise.
Question 7: Is happiness life-saving?
Stress is unhealthy. Sudden deaths triple in the year after a spouse's demise; Mondays and earthquakes both double the incidence of heart attacks. Just as stress, anger, and social isolation accelerate heart disease, joy and mirth can impede its attack. The bottom line here is that the head is connected to the heart in more ways than one. Enjoying life is a great way to keep your ticker strong and healthy.
How did you do on these questions? If you answered all seven correctly, congratulations! If you got some of them wrong, it's perfectly understandable; most of us don't have the facts in hand that can improve and lengthen our lives. The good news is that they are all here in the pages of The Pritikin Edge: 10 Essential Ingredients for a Long and Delicious Life.

being inadequate, fear of not being good enough, fear of being too fat (although she wasn't) and more. Because Mary had a full hourglass figure, but hovered around 5'1", she had a difficult time finding clothing that fit. Her shopping experiences over the past years had been few and far between, and when she did venture out it was with such trepidation that she tried to get through them as quickly as possible. Because she felt anxious, she rushed through the experience, never really taking the time to discover if something was really right for her or to determine how she felt about it. Instead, she grabbed things she thought were ok, and then simply made do with them, knowing they made her look frumpy and older than she was. Do you do the same?
It turns out that Mary is not alone. Shopping is something that women avoid like the plague for many reasons which include:
1/ Feeling intimidated by sales associates – You know the feeling. You walk into a store and the sales person can't be bothered to look up or even greet you. When you want to try something on you feel as if you're bothering them, and you dare not even ask for something in a larger size for fear of being looked down on. My advice? Find somewhere else to shop where you are appreciated for who you are!
2/ Finding clothing that actually fits your body – If you're a hard to fit size, a different size on top and bottom, or an apple shape, finding clothing that fits you can be a challenge. It can be frustrating to try and make something work on your body, and sales people may not always give you the best advice. My advice? Learn about your body type and how to dress for it. Then instead of trusting an ill-informed sales associate, trust yourself or a professional (such as myself).
3/ Feeling bad about your body or your size – Going shopping when you're not at your ideal weight can be a challenge. After all, if you're not happy with where you are, it can be difficult to part with your hard earned cash to clothe your bigger body. Yet you need something to wear and don't want to look like a frump. My advice? Love yourself and your body, at whatever size you are. Find something to be grateful for and then honor yourself by dressing your best. Looking and feeling great can be just the motivation you need to get back to your ideal weight. And if not? You still look great!
4/ Feeling Overwhelmed – You walk into a store and immediately become paralyzed by the massive selection. You have no idea where to start, and just want to turn around and go home. My advice? Do your homework. Find out what your true style is (hint: our StyleFinder Assessment can help!) and determine what's right for your body type, your coloring, your lifestyle, etc. Once you know these elements, they'll help you to know what's right and what's wrong.
5/ Finding clothing that you like – Often I hear from women that they have a hard time finding things that they even like. Many women think things are cut too short, too long, are too sheer, etc. There simply aren't enough choices out there. My advice? Keep looking! Chances are you'll find things you like if you spend enough time looking. Be patient and have a clear goal in mind. Don't just wander aimlessly. If all else fails, contact a good seamstress and have it made!
Once I got a handle on exactly why shopping was a hot button issue for Mary, then I was able to help her. During our session I brought her item after item to try on. There was no judgment, just an assessment of how each garment made her feel. I began to see her confidence coming back and loved seeing her step out of the fitting room to strike a pose! It turned out successful and she was elated. Days later I received a note from her thanking me and letting me know how much our shopping trip had helped her to conquer her longtime fear and move forward with confidence.
I want to see you do the same and shop with confidence! You are worth looking your best – don't settle for anything less.
Hate Shopping, or just need help? Our StyleFinder Stylistas are ready to help you! Simply stop in, or make an appointment (919-454-3068) and get ready for your own personal style experience that will help you to get what you need – and may just teach you to learn to love shopping!

You guys remember the Iowa State game in last year's NCAA Tournament, right? Thanks to poor shooting and uncharacteristic turnovers, the No. 2 Buckeyes squandered a 13-point lead.
Ohio State pulled to within one with 1:15 to play, giving Iowa State had the ball with a chance to extend the lead, but Aaron Craft, hovering heel and all, drew a key charge on Cyclone Melvin Ejim, handing possession back to the Buckeyes. The play wasn't without controversy, especially in Ames, where most saw it as a blatant block that went in Craft's favor.
Injury was quickly added to insult when Craft drilled a three-pointer with :01 on the clock to send the Buckeyes to the Sweet 16.
Good times, right? But this is a new season with new goals for Ohio State and Iow—wait, you didn't recreate that play, complete with Ejim driving on a
white guard with his heel hovering for your 2013-14 schedule poster did you, Iowa State? It appears as if you did.
Well struck, Cyclones, but we'll always have this.

Monaco's Prince Albert II is excited, anxious father-to-be
Prince Albert II of Monaco isn't holding back the superlatives when he talks about the baby that his wife is expecting later this year -- his first royal heir.
He told The Associated Press in an interview that he and Princess Charlene are "overjoyed," ''thrilled," and "very excited," and that the baby is due in December.
But they're also a little nervous. Speaking at the opening of the new Monaco Yacht Club on Friday, he said they are "taking every cautious step to make sure everything goes well."
Albert, now 56, was a longtime bachelor who has acknowledged fathering two children -- daughter Jazmin Grace Grimaldi and son Alexandre Coste -- out of wedlock. He married Charlene, a South African former Olympic swimmer, in 2011 and they announced last month they are expecting a baby. She is 36.

Why Skiing Doesn't Have to Be a Rich Person's Sport
Heli-skiing, luxury chalets, celebrity followings – it's unsurprising skiing has a pricey reputation.
But, is this reputation somewhat unfair? Sometimes, looks can be deceiving.
With plenty of booze, pizza and French fries, skiing isn't all about overpriced coffee and expensive lift passes.
Here's why skiing doesn't have to be a rich person's sport.
Skiing Has a Huge Following
Skiing has a large fan-base, simple as that.
If it's a sport only reserved for the very rich, why are programmes like Ski Sunday so popular?
Plus, you only have to look at the popularity of the Winter Olympics to see how the entire world fangirls for skiing.
These fans aren't only those born with a silver spoon in their mouth. From adrenaline junkies to stag dos, skiing appeals to a wide audience.
You only have to look closely at the mountain to see the variety of skiers. Directly next to a self-appointed professional with all the latest gear is a university student trying to work out which way is down with a hangover. There's something for everyone!
It's Not the New Golf
Skiing appeals to families and ski bums, students and professionals alike.
So, while 'rich person's sports' like golf have become exclusive and unbearable, skiing shouldn't go down this dark path. We'll revolt if it does.
While golf has 'private members' clubs' and a following that includes the likes of Donald Trump, skiing has the fun factor. You'd never hear 'pizza' or 'French fry' used to describe a golf swing.
Thanks to things like après-ski and ski festivals, skiing won't simply become a recreational activity for the rich. Once again, booze has saved the day. Skiing will never be as refined as the likes of golf, thankfully.

There Are Ways to Ski on a Budget
Skiing has a pricey reputation, there's no denying that.
But, surprising as it may be, those without a trust fund can still enjoy all the joys of après-ski and snow. Why should life's pleasures be reserved for the rich?
So, here are a few money-saving hacks to see you living the high life without the price tag. While we assume any money you manage to save will then be spent at the bar, it's worth a shot.
Go at the Right Time
When talking about saving money, when you go travelling is as important as where you go. Think 'off-peak' and you'll get the idea.
Staying away from travelling in the school holidays has many perks.
Most importantly, you'll get to avoid children. But, not only this, prices will fall dramatically during off-peak times. It's a win-win!
If you can't completely avoid the holidays, skiing later on in the year will leave your wallet much fuller! Here's a little secret: Easter is cheaper than half term. Don't tell anyone.
Watch What You Eat
You are what you eat, and you're not made of money.
While some skiers may eat lavish three-course meals in a glitzy slope-side restaurant, this isn't required of everyone. Embrace the packed lunch.
Venture further out to some smaller local restaurants to find cheaper prices. You might miss out on the best views, but you can't have everything.
Beg, Borrow and Smile
Don't buy your ski gear, borrow it all.
Got any rich friends who have been skiing as long as they've been walking? Use them!
You'll look like a pro without having to pay a single penny.
Take some hints from ski bums and try to wrangle as much free stuff as you can. Insider tip: smiling helps.
Mind Where You Sleep
Expensive accommodation isn't all that's on offer!
You'll find plenty of hostels and hotels available. If skiing doesn't turn its nose up at a hostel, neither can you.
Or, just don't book any accommodation at all! There are plenty of floors to sleep on. Or, if you're lucky, someone else's bed.
Don't Be Flash at the Bar
We're all too aware of how tempting it is to keep buying rounds at the bar.
While some would suggest the best way to save money is to avoid après-ski altogether, we'll ignore them. Everything's about moderation.
The après-ski doesn't have to be expensive if you're only buying for one!
Book Early or Late
Get in there early. This one sounds obvious, but with skiing, the early bird really does catch the worm.
But, if you're someone who leaves everything until the last minute, you might actually be doing your wallet a favour also.
Many tour operators and airlines will drop their prices at the last minute. So, always be on the lookout for any deals.
Open to All
With skiing, beginners are welcome. Skiing is addictive – fact!
As annoying as the crowds of pocked-sized skiers can be, they're tolerable at a distance.
While other 'wealthy people's sports' like yachting are out of bounds to most, skiing isn't so pretentious. Everyone is welcome, within reason. Except those who run over your skis in the lift queue.
Encouraging youngsters to get on the slopes is a passion of Team GB's James Woods. The goal is to get everyone pizza and French-frying, not just the wealthy.
The Transfers are Affordable
With skiing, the transfer to and from the airport needn't be expensive. If you're looking for a cheap transfer, we've got you covered. Simply enter your details and we'll show you the best quotes around. Find your low-cost transfer here.

Real Weddings: The Johnson's Marry, Sutherland Style
Most people are busy trying to keep up with The Joneses, but when it comes to weddings, I say "just try to keep up with The Johnson's!" The Sutherland has yet to see a wedding this meticulously planned – every detail perfectly in place – one of those you want to go back in time and copy (it's all in the fabulous moments in time captured by the talented JP Lord Photography!)
It was an excited bunch as the bridal party prepared for the ceremony – the bride-to-be selected an intricate lace gown with billowy skirt and jeweled waist. Her bridesmaids walked the aisle in floor length, soft pink dresses. The groom took striking to a new level in a unique blue suit and bow tie. The perfectly overcast day kept the crowd cool as the bride and groom exchanged vows in a heart felt ceremony – then it was off to celebrate the happy couple!
Hand painted signs were scattered throughout the venue to guide and inform guests. The reception, decorated in golds, creams and whites, soft pink arrangements and strung lights was the ideal place for the non-stop dining and dancing that went well in to the evening. A four-tiered, buttercream cake was enjoyed by all as they made their way to the photo booth, where the silly and serious created lasting memories. When the party wrapped, it was an unforgettable sparkler tunnel that the newlyweds walked through as they said their goodbyes as Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.

A) If Logged Out of Facebook: The pop-up will request for (and offer the opportunity to) log back into your account.
B) If Still Logged Into Facebook: The pop-up will request that you confirm your Facebook account.
Either case will result in a second pop-up appearing, asking permission for the Club OS app to access the club location's Facebook page. Click 'Agree'. Now, the set-up is complete.The Facebook Lead Ads Integration page will update its status and record the date and Amin for which integration was established.
Note: By clicking 'Not Now' instead of 'Agree', the effort to integrate will fail.

Note: Altering the password to the club's Facebook account will undo the club's Facebook/Club OS integration and stop Facebook leads from syncing. If this break occurs, Club OS will issue an email to the club's designated Facebook Admin, advising them to re-establish integration with Club OS.
Step III: Choose Between Auto-Response Options
Once a club's Facebook and Club OS accounts have been integrated, the Club Admin can choose which (if any) Lead Ad Auto-Response email will greet the Prospect at the instant their account is created. There are two options: the 'Web Lead Response System Email' or the 'New Prospect Response Automatic Campaign'. For more info on Lead Ad Auto-Response emails, click here.
Note: Neither will send unless they have been previously set-up within Marketing.
If the Club Admin chooses to leave both types unchecked, a Lead will still remain qualified for other, future automatic campaigns. (Example: Birthday Greeting)
Step IV: Putting It All Together
Once a location's Facebook and Club OS accounts have integrated, all Lead Ad submissions will sync in real time to Club OS. A submitted Lead Ad will create a Club OS Prospect account. Its marketing source will cite the title of the Facebook Lead Ad form.
The Prospect's Club OS account will contain the name and email/phone number attached to their Facebook account. (All other data will sync to the Prospect's account as notes.)
Leads will be assigned to the default employee in charge of member follow-up. That employee will be alerted to the new account's existence via a Web Lead Notification Email. To discover how a club can filter their Facebook Leads via User Search, click here.
Note: Changing the Facebook's password will result in the need to re-integrate their Facebook and Club OS account.

CFP: Feminism and Psychoanalysis in 20th c. Am. Lit. (grad) (1/5/07; (dis)junctions, 4/6/07-4/7/07)
Feminism and Psychoanalysis in 20th Century Literature
This call for papers is for a proposed panel to be held at (dis)junctions:
Malappropriation Nation, the University of California, Riverside's
fourteenth annual graduate humanities conference on April 6-7, 2007.
The framework for (dis)junctions 2007: Malappropriation Nation might be
imagined in relation to what the 20th century American poet Susan Howe calls
idea of "Lawlessness," the acting outside of acceptable boundaries and
ideologies. In developing this year's theme, we are hoping to formulate
in which conventional or popular theories are used and in turn
reworked/rethought/re-imagined in ways that may be more useful/empowering.
can we think of theories outside of their original intent? Correspondingly,
where do we witness artists/writers/theorists restructuring the conventions
tradition? Also, how can theories, ideas and artistic objects be used
their intended purposes; how can a theory be used against the author's
objective? We thus imagine this idea of "malappropriation" as being both
empowering and dis-empowering.
With this theme in mind, the panel on feminism and psychoanalysis will
explore the critique and appropriation of psychoanalysis by feminist
critical theorists and authors. How has psychoanalysis been
(mal)appropriated in 20th century American literature and literary theory?
How have masculinist texts been rethought/reread in terms of a feminist
psychoanalytic sensibility? Is psychoanalysis still a viable critical
method? Has its revision by contemporary feminists proven to be
useful/empowering in terms of literary production/interpretation or has the
appropriation of phallocentric theories proven disempowering? What does it
mean to read a literary work through a critical lens unintended by the
author? What does it mean if the critical lens has, itself, been reworked
into a theory beyond or outside of the original theorist's intention?
Some possible topics may include:
Feminist critique/revision of Freudian or Lacanian psychoanalytic theories
Psychoanalytic interpretations of 20th c. American literature
Masculinist literary figures, feminism, and psychoanalysis (i.e. Hemingway,
Kerouac, etc.)
Redefinition and appropriation of the concept of lack and/or the phallus
Please email abstracts (250 words) to laura.westengard_at_email.ucr.edu Also,
please note any A/V needs you may have - we can obtain VCRs, DVDs, and
projectors for laptops. Less standard equipment is possible (although not
guaranteed) upon request.
For further information, please visit last year's website and also check for
new updates on this year's conference.

2116 Balboa Avenue, Del Mar, 92014
Listing materials for the hillside estate at 2116 Balboa Avenue in Del Mar invite prospective buyers to "enjoy spectacular whitewater ocean, sunset & Del Mar racetrack views from this extraordinary seaside Villa in Olde Del Mar."
Built in 2004, the gated residence is sited on a one-third-acre lot and was constructed "with a meticulous attention to detail and quality craftsmanship throughout." Prestige appointments include "imported marble and mahogany wood flooring, and Venetian plaster walls" along with four fireplaces and "a cook's dream" for a kitchen, "with custom cabinetry in solid Honduran mahogany, Brazilian granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, a butler's pantry, and floor-to-ceiling paneled glass doors that open onto a spacious Cameroon flagstone deck."
The ground-level master retreat "offers an impressive 10000 square foot view loggia, his and hers walk-in closets, and a romantic bath." The residence also features another three bedrooms, three full baths and a powder room, den, office/music room, and a "2400-bottle temperature-controlled wine room," along with "three-level security and monitoring system, computer controlled radiant floor heating throughout, three zones of central forced air conditioning, built-in music system with independent stations, distinctive ceiling designs including custom Venetian plaster ceiling vaults, reclaimed wood beam ceilings, custom-designed solid Honduran mahogany doors, windows and shutters, custom light fixtures, smart wiring, and much more!"
Outside, the ocean-view "entertainer's paradise" includes a "breathtaking yard" that's "surrounded by gracious flagstone patios with mature landscaping, a large grassy area, a fire pit, built-in barbecue, vanishing edge pool and spa, all taking advantage of panoramic views spanning from the Pacific Ocean west to the Del Mark racetrack north."
The Balboa estate last sold in 2000 (before the current 5600-square-foot home was built), when it was purchased for $2.2 million by Patricia and Charles Zuker — its current assessed value of just under $4.4 million carries an annual property-tax bill of about $44,000. Mr. Zuker is a New York–based molecular geneticist and neurobiologist at Columbia University. From 1987 to 2009 he conducted research at UC San Diego, where in collaboration with a partner he identified the cells responsible for the five basic taste perceptions in mammals: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami.
Current Owner: Zuker Family
Beds: 4
Baths: 5
List Price: $9,800,000
Though the Zukers have long since left San Diego, the property has served for years as a rental, fetching a reported $13,500 a month (though attempts were made to list the property on a short-term basis for as much as $40,000 monthly during the summer Del Mar racing season). It's been listed for sale several times since mid-2016, at one point entering escrow while carrying an asking price of $10.7 million. That deal never materialized, and in late October the home was re-listed with an asking price of $9.8 million that remains unchanged to date.

SAM BOMPAS and Harry Parr have built painstakingly correct models of London's St. Paul's Cathedral and Millennium Bridge, and a Madrid airport terminal complete with tiny airplanes.
Unfortunately for anyone curious to see these extravagant works of architecture, they were eaten long ago.
Shimmering, brightly colored gelatin is the chosen medium of Mr. Bompas and Mr. Parr, two young products of Eton and University College, London, who have quickly become England's leading jelly artists, or as they call themselves, jelly mongers.
Mr. Parr, who was trained as an architect, and Mr. Bompas, who was in public relations, thought it would be cool to open a jelly stand in the Borough Market in London, near where they live.
"All the desserts in the market were very stodgy, and we know from history that jellies were once considered to be the pinnacle of sophistication," Mr. Parr said. "They were used as very lavish centerpieces, the way marzipan and sugar were used, but then jelly became corrupted by children's parties."
The market turned them down, so they took it on themselves to restore jelly's tarnished reputation.
They began getting private commissions, and about a year ago they went into business on their own as Bompas & Parr. They have made molds for Heston Blumenthal, the chef and owner of the Fat Duck near London, and Gordon Ramsay. A "wedding cake" consisted of tiers of small molds as did a similar party jelly for hospital patients.
They made a multicolored structure for the architect Sir Richard Rogers's birthday. "That one took us weeks and it was demolished in 15 minutes," Mr. Parr, 26, said. "We love that."
Mr. Bompas, 25, said: "We'll do pretty much anything. We've made an entire jellied Christmas dinner, hundreds of layers, each a different course, for television as the ultimate Christmas jelly."
For Hawksmoor restaurant in London, they created a ziggurat inspired by the steeple of an 18th-century church.
"We were impressed with the quirky, slightly eccentric things they were doing," said Huw Gott, an owner of the restaurant. "We have a touch of English eccentricity of our own, so we thought it would be a good fit."
In February, the two came to New York for their first job in the United States, an interpretation of the Marinettian Bombe from Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's "Futurist Cookbook," the 1932 treatise on food by the Italian Futurist.
The occasion was a dinner at Inside Park at St. Bart's, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication of Marinetti's "Manifesto of Futurism." Bompas & Parr were hired by Performa, the performance arts group that organized the event, to make the dessert.
They arrived a few days in advance, suitcases bulging with equipment. "We were very concerned going through airport security with all the strange plastic and metal things we were carrying," Mr. Bompas said. "But they didn't stop us in London or New York."
About an hour before the 100 guests arrived, Mr. Bompas and Mr. Parr started unmolding the jellies, setting them on plates and sequestering them in the restaurant's walk-in refrigerator. They were focused on their work, tightly wound and impossible to distract.
"This is the first time we've done a double mold," Mr. Bompas said. "The outside is the Campari and the inside, which had to jell after the outside was finished, is orange."
With Campari and sugar for one of the jellies and orange juice for the other, the result was something like the drink Campari and soda, in jelly form.
They make their own molds, designing them on a computer in the workshops of University College that translates them into three-dimensional models and transfers the specifications to a machine that makes plaster casts of the molds, called plugs. Once the plug is made, thin, malleable high-impact polystyrene plastic is applied to it in a vacuum to form the individual molds.
"At first we thought we'd buy old copper molds," Mr. Parr said. "But they were too expensive and some of the best ones were owned by collectors. So we started making our own."
A commission usually starts at about $450 and can take a week or more. Information is available at jellymongers.co.uk.
Although they work in a traditional medium, some of their projects verge on the avant-garde. In collaboration with a chemistry professor at University College, they used food-safe quinine to make jelly that emits a bluish glow under black light. Other experiments are in the works, including growing crystals inside the jelly.
Besides chemistry, they have had to learn engineering and also cooking. At the end of the day, or rather at the end of the meal, a jelly has to be tasty.
Nonetheless, Mr. Bompas said that the pleasure of the jelly is not necessarily in the eating.
"It's watching it wobble," he said.
Mr. Parr agreed: "You've got to have the wobble."

The 41st
Regiment and the War of 1812
The First 41st
At the end of the wars against the French in the first part of the 18th century, the British army was greatly reduced in size as a cost-saving measure. It was also decided to raise garrison companies of veterans to garrison key positions in the United Kingdom, thus freeing up regular regiments for field service. These companies were gathered together for administrative purposes in 1719 and became Colonel Fieldings Regiment of Invalids. In 1751, the Regiment was given the number 41.
Contrary to what the modern reader might expect from the invalid title, the original members of the Regiment were well-trained veterans of Marlboroughs campaigns and were a respectable force. An invalid was simply a pensioner, whether disabled or not. But as the century progressed, the personnel of the 41st apparently degenerated in to men of whom the term invalid increasingly had its current meaning, and the unit became unfit even for garrison duties.
The decision was therefore taken to turn the 41st in to a marching regiment in late 1787. In a very real sense, the Regiment was reborn, the invalids were all pensioned off and new men recruited.
The 41st: Incarnation #2
The men who formed the Regiment after its change to marching status in 1787 inherited the Regimental Number 41, but no history of proud achievements by their predecessors. They were, to all intents and purposes, starting afresh. Because the Invalid regiment had recruited all across the U.K., the new 41st also did: it received no title or county affiliation until the 1820s, when the 41st became the Welch Regiment. At the time of the War of 1812, the 41st had as its designation solely its number and it continued to recruit its men from anywhere in Britain and Ireland.
The first field service of the 41st was in the West Indies. From 1793 to 1796, the Regiment saw action at Martinique, St. Lucia, Guadeloupe, and San Domingo but it was sickness, not enemy action, that decimated its ranks. When the 41st was pulled back to Portsmouth in October of 1796, only the surviving officers and NCOs were taken the few remaining (presumably well-acclimatized) privates were transferred in to the 17th Foot.
The 41st: Incarnation #3
After its hellacious spell of duty in the West Indies, the Regiment recruited itself up to strength again in Britain and Ireland, before being sent off to Canada in August of 1799. Only a few of its personnel had operational experience gained in the West Indies. In effect, it was incarnation #3 of the Regiment that would see duty in the War of 1812. It remained a unit without a single earned Battle Honour on its Colours.
In the years before the outbreak of the War of 1812, the 41st had its ups and downs as it was shifted frequently between Lower and Upper Canada, performing garrison duties. Upper Canada was a particularly hard station for a Regiment to keep itself sharp in, as individual companies and even smaller elements of the Regiment would be detached to garrison a number of posts strung out along the long frontier. Each return to Lower Canada saw efforts made to again increase the combat readiness of the reunited Regiment.
Reinforcements and new equipment were sent out periodically as well. In 1809, a major reinforcement was received, that included Private Shadrach Byfield, perhaps the best-known member of the Regiment during the War of 1812, as he authored the only extended ranker account of the War currently known to exist.
On the eve of the War, the Regiment was in good shape. Its men were all fairly young and healthy, their equipment in acceptable condition. In fact, the Regiment had been about to be withdrawn to Europe, where it probably would have ended up in Wellingtons forces in Spain. However, the impending outbreak of the War of 1812 led to the decision to keep the 41st in Upper Canada. Not only was it up to strength, it was fully acclimatized to Canadian conditions, which must have been an important factor in what was to follow.
Services of the 41st in the War of 1812
1812 Campaigns
At the outbreak of the War, the 41st was the only full British regiment in Upper Canada and as such would bear the principal burden and earn the glory of repelling the initial American attacks.
Simply stated, General Brock, in command in Upper Canada, faced a strategic dilemma: large American forces were gathering to invade on both the Niagara and Detroit Rivers. His solution to this problem was to shift most of his men to the Detroit frontier, capture Detroit, then shift his strength back to the Niagara front. Sounds simple, sounds obvious yet any student of the Detroit campaign must be aghast at the sheer bravado displayed by Brock, and the magnitude of the risks he ran. But desperate times make for desperate measures. Luckily for Canada, Brocks gamble paid off.
41st formed the main element in the Anglo-Canadian forces that captured Detroit
in August of 1812, with the assistance of native allies in a coalition the dominant
personality of which was Tecumseh. The
strength of the 41st was then shifted back to the Niagara front and formed the
main element of the force that crushed the subsequent American invasion at the Battle of
Queenston Heights in October. The Regiment had earned its first two Battle Honours
Detroit and Queenstown.
The strength of the 41st was then shifted back to the Niagara front and formed the main element of the force that crushed the subsequent American invasion at the Battle of Queenston Heights in October. The Regiment had earned its first two Battle Honours Detroit and Queenstown.
However, the picture at the end of 1812 was not all rosy. While some reinforcements had arrived in Upper Canada, the talented Brock had been killed at Queenston Heights, and the Americans were making preparations to redeem their earlier mistakes. The 41st found itself split, its companies attempting to guard both the Niagara and Detroit frontiers, with the Regiments Colonel, Henry Procter, in command of the Right Division on the Detroit frontier.
A major element and consideration in all operations on the Detroit front involved the western native allies, but Procter would prove unable to forge as productive a relationship with Tecumseh as Brock had. It appears that the average soldier of the 41st also had more fear than affection for his native comrade in arms.
1813 Campaigns
The first American counter-attack occurred on the Detroit frontier. A January offensive by General Henry Harrison led to an aggressive counter-punch by Procter at Winchesters isolated and exposed American command at Frenchtown (now Monroe, Michigan) on January 22, 1813. Although Procter achieved strategic and tactical surprise, his resulting battle tactics threw the advantage away, and in the desperate fighting which resulted, the companies of the 41st present suffered over 50% casualties. Luckily, the native allies managed to break and overrun the American right flank and the result of the battle was the destruction of Winchesters force, thus crippling Harrisons overall winter-campaign strategy. Unfortunately, Procter, in his desire to get his mauled forces back to the security of the Detroit River forts (Amherstburg and Detroit) abandoned American wounded to the not-so-tender mercies of the native allies. The resulting River Raisin Massacre would form a rallying cry for Americans for the rest of the War.
Harrison concentrated his remaining forces on the Maumee River near what is now Toledo, Ohio, and commenced construction of Fort Meigs to act as a base for his next offensive. The Americans had set in play a shipbuilding program on both Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, and the isolated position of the Right Division on the Detroit front deteriorated steadily as the year 1813 progressed.
Although the need to reinforce Procters Right Division was recognized by the High Command in Montreal and orders were sent to the Centre Division to forward the remaining companies of the 41st to Procter, events on the Niagara front precluded this possibility.
Thus, companies of the 41st were present when the Americans attacked and captured Fort George in May of 1813, and these companies formed the garrison of Burlington Heights when the rest of the Centre Division made their successful night attack on the American camp at Stoney Creek on June 6. Although the Centre Division in effect disobeyed orders to send the 41st companies on to Procter, they at least were kept as an emergency reserve and thus did not get shot up in either of these major confrontations. Individual officers of the 41st were involved in both actions.
Meanwhile, Procter had decided to use the Right Division for a spoiling attack on Fort Meigs. The first siege, in late April/early May, resulted in the destruction of a large force of American reinforcements in Dudleys Defeat, and some hard fighting as the Americans attacked the siege batteries but it proved impossible for the smaller Right Division to actually capture the American fort given its commanding position and very large garrison. There was another ugly incident involving American prisoners being maltreated by some of the native allies, in which an infantryman of the 41st attempting to protect the Americans was himself chopped. Fortunately Tecumseh arrived in time to stop a major massacre.
Despite the overall disappointing results from this operation, the 41st earned the Battle Honour Miami (the Maumee River was also called the Miami at this time).
As progress on what would become Commodore Perrys U.S. Lake Erie squadron relentlessly continued, and reports of the forces Harrison was gathering came in, Procter became more and more despondent.
In July, at the insistence of the Indian Allies, Procter again led the Right Division out in a spoiling attack against Fort Meigs. The Second Siege (July 21-26 1813) accomplished even less than the first, and Procter decided to attack Fort Stephenson (Fremont, Ohio), basically a fortified supply depot, which he thought would be easy pickings. On August 2, 1813, Procter ordered an attempt to escalade the American fort, but the unexpected presence of an American artillery piece, plus the unwillingness of the American garrison to surrender (natural enough, given the several massacres that had already occurred when Procter proved unable to protect his prisoners), led to a bloody repulse of the attack columns and a precipitate retreat back to the Detroit forts. And, the bottoming-out of the 41sts faith in their commanders battlefield skills.
As the completed American Squadron on Lake Erie took dominance of the Lake, Procter sat in the Detroit River forts, receiving only limited reinforcements from the Centre Division (most of the 1st Battalion eventually reached him). He waited for the completion of the new British flagship for the Lake Erie squadron, H.M.S. Detroit, and watched his food stocks deplete at an alarming rate.
Finally, the Detroit was as complete as resources at Amherstburg could make her, the food was almost gone, and the only honourable choice left was to go out and try and win back command of Lake Erie. Procter placed 150 men of the 41st on Barclays squadron as marines, and on September 10, 1813, the two squadrons hammered it out off Put-In-Bay. The result was the destruction and capture of the British squadron, the loss of all its manpower, and the knowledge that Perrys fleet could now with impunity ferry Harrisons large army to anywhere on the north shore of Lake Erie, thereby cutting Procters communications with the Centre Division.
Procters decision to retreat to a position on the lower Thames was ineptly carried out and in the early afternoon of October 5, 1813, what was left of the 1/41st found itself just west of Moraviantown strung out in an overly-extended formation in light woods, facing overwhelming numbers of Americans. The 41sts battle lasted about 10 minutes, as a column of American mounted infantry charged and overran the left flank of 41st line on a narrow frontage, then turned left and neatly rolled it up.
Indians on the right flank posed a more serious threat to the Americans, until Tecumseh was killed. Indian resistance meant some men on the right of the 41sts line managed to escape the disaster. Only 6 subalterns, 9 sergeants, 6 drummers, and 159 rank and file of the 41st made it to the Center Division at Burlington Heights and not all of these men had been present at the battle.
The Second Battalion
Only the fact the 41sts 2nd battalion had arrived in Canada in the spring of 1813 enabled the Regiment to reorganize as a single battalion, and carry on operations as a viable force.
The Second Battalion, with a strength of 500 men, had sailed from Ireland on 20 March 1813, and arrived at Quebec City May 15, 1813. At that point, 400 men were to be sent on to Upper Canada, 100 boys were retained in the Quebec City garrison. By June 24 1813, 100 men of the 2nd Battalion were being formally transferred in to the 1st Battalion and forwarded to Procter. The balance of the 2nd Battalion spent the summer and early fall of 1813 as part of the Left Division, garrisoning the St. Lawrence River posts; its personnel were involved in a number of small actions with the Americans.
By August 22 1813, Prevost was writing to inform Procter that he had ordered the balance of the 2nd battalion to Amherstburg and on that date, it in fact received orders to move from Prescott to Kingston. By 1 October 1813, 160 men of the 2nd Battalion had reached Burlington Heights. They were still there when the remains of the 1st Battalion marched in.
In 1813, men of the Regiments two battalions had been stationed spread out from Montreal to Fort Malden - and Captain Richard Bullock of the Grenadier Company commanded the garrison at Mackinac from September 13, 1813, to May 18, 1814! The Regiment had seen much hard service on all fronts.
The Unified Battalion Incarnation #3.1 December 1813, 1814 Campaigns
Given the small size of the 2nd battalion and the small number of survivors from the 1st, the decision was taken to combine them in to one unit. This combined 1st/2nd battalion was what conducted the 41sts operations for the balance of the War. It was a somewhat uneven, ad hoc unit in that it was composed partly of tough, experienced, and battle-hardened veterans of the 1st battalion, and partly of the relatively new and inexperienced recruits of the 2nd. It appears that the best men were put in to the flank companies and continued to see heavy action, while the regular line companies were utilised mainly in support roles.
By December 19 1813, the combined battalion supplied flank companies for the assault on Fort Niagara, while the line companies helped capture Lewiston. On December 30 1813, an attack was launched on Black Rock & Buffalo, with 250 men of the 41st participating, suffering casualties of 2 killed, 5 wounded, and 3 missing.
On 9 January 1814, Drummond ordered the 41st ordered to York; on February 8, they were ordered from York to Kingston. The 41st found itself back on the Niagara Peninsula in time to help repel the last major American offensive of the War. At the Battle of Lundys Lane in July 1814, the Light Company of the 41st under Captain Glew managed to distinguish itself.
In Drummonds subsequent operations in pursuit of the retreating Americans, Colonel Tucker (with most of the 41st under his command) managed to bungle an attack on Black Rock. This was a relatively unremarkable occasion except that Shadrach Byfield was wounded, losing an arm, and started on his long journey back to his Wiltshire home.
The Regiment participated in the siege of Fort Erie, with the flank companies taking heavy casualties in the failed night assault of August 15. At that point, the Regiment was pulled back to form part of the garrison of the forts at the mouth of the Niagara River: Fort Niagara, Fort George, and Fort Mississauga. It was found that the 41st was the most useful unit to garrison Fort Niagara, as other units placed there suffered from excessive desertion rates.
Eventually, the Regiment was withdrawn to York, then Kingston. It had earned its 4th Battle Honour in the War of 1812: Niagara, for its participation in the 1814 Niagara Peninsula campaign.
After the War
In the spring of 1815, with its men who had been American prisoners repatriated, the Regiment embarked for Britain, with approximately 1,200 men of the unified battalion on the transport. The Regiment was diverted to Belgium, arriving just too late for Waterloo, but in time to help occupy Paris. The contrast between conditions in the backwoods of Upper Canada and the French capital, must have seemed surreal to the average infantryman of the Regiment.
Distinguishing Features of the 41stUniform
The 41sts facing colour (i.e. the colour of the collar, cuffs, and shoulder straps of its redcoat) was red; its regimental lace, white with a centered black line, set on in bastion looping of the jews harp design.
Because of its red on red uniform, the 41st displayed some out of the norm attributes in terms of its Regimental Colours (standards) and in the uniforms of its musicians. The Regimental Colour resembled a Royal Naval White Ensign, but squared to a 6 foot by 6 foot size. The Kings Colour conformed to normal regulations. During the War, the Regiments Colours of course had no Battle Honours new Colours issued in 1816 proudly bore Detroit, Queenstown, Miami, and Niagara.
Since 41st musicians could not utilise the armys normal reversed colour pattern (i.e. main body of coat the facing colour, faced with red) to set them apart from the regular infantrymen, they instead had white coats, faced red, with an elaborate special lace applied, much more liberally than on a regular infantrymans redcoat (as on all regiments musician coats).
The 1st battalion started the War with pre-1812 pattern stove-pipe shakos and might never have been reequipped until returning to Europe. Officers uniforms had silver buttons and silver lace with a black line centered, applied in the same bastion loop pattern as the enlisted men.
The 2nd battalion almost undoubtedly arrived in Canada with the new 1812 (or Belgic) shako, although the infantrymans red coat would have been the same as that of a member of the 1st battalion. Officers of the 2nd battalion had gold buttons and gold lace applied in square-ended loops; officers of the 1st battalion and then the amalgamated battalion were also ordered to adopt this pattern.
The 41st Regiment of Foot and its successor, The Royal Regiment of Wales (24th/41st Foot), has never been stationed in Canada again. But its links with Canada can never be broken.
During its extended stay (1799 to 1815), and especially during the War, it left its dead scattered across most of the garrisons and fighting fronts in the Canadas.
Equally important, many men of the Regiment, when they received their discharges in the years after the War of 1812, returned to Canada - but this time, as settlers, taking up land grants earned by their services in defence of the colonies.
The men of the 41st played a vital role in the defence of Canada in the War of 1812; their numerous descendants have helped build the country ever since.

Not sure what Mac device you are on, or what OS you are running, ?? Good info to add every time you have a answer | . . . . But you could try and repair your Disk Permissions, by either booting into the Install DVD or into the Recovery Partition, and when there go to the MenuBar and select Utilities then Disk Utility Once it opens, select the Macintosh HD or your HD in the left column, then First Aid tab at the top and finally the Repair Disk Permissions down the Bottom.
Let it do what it has to do, and it might take a while if you haven't given your Mac a clean in a while, but when finished (don't worry about the errors as this is normal) restart booting into the OS and see what happens.
Sometimes, you could get a corrupt file, and if this happens, it could be stopping it 'saving' the App status, and hence every time time you start, you are back to the default.
If this doesn't work come back and then we will try something different.
If your in Lion 10.7 and above boot into recovery partition by holding down ⌘ and R together while powering on, or the ⌥ (Option) key and then select the Recovery Partition. Either way will work.Dont forget to use the Reputation System if someone has helped you out !!!

Yes. Setting the apps is straight forward. My 10.7.5 OS is the only machine that loses this info on restart.

Worm writers motivated by money, not notoriety
Gone are the days of vandalizing a Web server for kicks. Experts say worm writers are after money; that's why malicious code is targeting sensitive user information more than ever before.
A change is afoot within the world of worm writers. Experts say that, more than ever, the creation of malicious code is being driven by profit. Worm writers are becoming intent on using malware to steal sensitive data and sell it, rather than vandalizing a Web server to inflate their egos, for example.
"In the past, teenagers would write something just to say, 'Hey, isn't this cool'," said Mikko Hypponen, manager of antivirus research for Finland-based F-Secure Corp. "Now, there are worms that go through product development. They are QA'd. New versions are released."
Worms have become vehicles for harvesting credit card and Social Security numbers, and for finding back doors into a company's sensitive data repositories.
Earlier this month, Mimail-I, for example, masqueraded as a bogus membership update from PayPal. It sought to steal credit card information from recipients. The worm writer, however, made a mistake, because online sites won't let people make a credit card purchase without the name and address associated with that card. Hence, Mimail-J followed and asked for such information.
Worms can do several things that can help their creators make money or at least complement their businesses -- including spam businesses -- like dropping spam-routing software on infected systems, which the Sobig worm did.
Another technique is stealing e-mail addresses or other sensitive information, such as credit card numbers and login IDs from infected machines. Bugbear-B, for example, contained a list of domains owned by banks. When it infected a machine on one of them, the worm attempted to turn on the system's modem, which could be used to send data Bugbear collected with its keystroke-logging program.
Worms such as Fizzer can also install HTTP servers on machines. These mini-Web servers can be used to serve pornography or other content.
Lastly, worm writers can also use their creations to target their enemies. For example, Mimail-C attempted to launch a denial-of-service attack on spam blacklist sites like mysupersales.com, spamhuas.org and spews.org.
The shift in focus, from trying to get recognition to trying to make money, complicates the process of combating worms. For starters, worm writers don't want their creations to be featured on CNN. They want them to spread quietly so they aren't detected and neutralized. To escape detection, variants of Sobig actually removed themselves from infected systems after delivering the spam-routing software.
The creators also want to keep a low profile. There hasn't been a Sobig variant since August, probably because Sobig-F made headlines because it clogged networks, racking up more than $1 billion in damage.
"Given the $250,000 bounty on his head, there is an incentive for him to drop off the scene forever," said David Perry, Trend Micro Inc.'s global director of education, referring to the reward Microsoft offered for the capture of the writer of Sobig-F. It's likely that the author or authors of the worms will lie low, he said.
"But if it was an ego-driven writer, then he would eventually show up again to brag about it," Perry said.
