Should You Believe All diets?
With so many different ways of fuelling your body and many different options available to the athlete seeking to fuel their training, what actually works? Below we look at a few different methods that we have seen many athletes talking about recently. It is very much down to you to make your opinion of them but remember nutrition is the fourth discipline of triathlon, so you need to get it right!
High fat, Low Carbohydrate diet
Ketagenic is, in simple terms, a diet where you consume a higher proportion of fat and very little carbohydrates in the effort to use fat as your main energy system. The thinking behind this approach is that it is said the human body holds a virtually unlimited source of fat compared to about 2 hours worth of carbohydrate.
Studies on ultra-runners who followed a high fat diet compared to ultra-runners who followed a traditional high carbohydrate diet were able to burn fat at a greater rate than the high carbohydrate group. They were also able to run faster in a "fat burning" state as they were able to still burn fat at a higher percentage of their VO2 max. However, the high carbohydrate group were able to burn carbohydrates at a greater rate than the high fat group. Critically, this "fat burning" state doesn't necessarily mean the quickest state. Equally, due to the limitations of training at intensity, the training stresses are significantly lower, and arguably performance is hampered.
A frequent guest of ours in Portugal decided to give this diet a go after deciding to enter the Marathon de Sables with the mindset that during the race carrying the minimum weight in your pack/vest becomes an advantage and that has an effect on the food you can eat and the amount of calories consumed during the 6 days racing. This meant they had to adapt their training by running to a strictly low heart rate – this meant walking up hills to reduce the increase of their heart rate too much. Over time, after the body had adapted, it meant they were able to go with a higher heart rate using fat as the main energy source. This has proven some positive results in multi day ultra endurance events though is always difficult to back with science as generally the results are subjective, "I felt better", and the facts are inconclusive.
This is a very specific example of a multi day event and that for most athletes, where speed and getting to the finish line first is the main objective, this method is flawed. In order to breakdown fat to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) more oxygen is required than the breakdown of carbohydrates to ATP, therefore less oxygen is being supplied to the working muscles - slowing your speed down. The toss up here could be described in a choice between a diesel or petrol engine. [See what our nutritionalist says
Fasted Training
Many endurance athletes use this concept purposefully or accidentally where they are restricting calorie intake before exercise, generally by training first thing in the morning where you have been fasting for an average of 10 hours over night since your last meal. The concept is to burn more fat during exercise. Fasted training is best done at a moderate to low intensity as you will struggle to train at a high intensity when fasted without going hypoglycaemic (or bonking)!
However, training at a higher intensity, using carbohydrates as the main energy source leads to more fat being burned post exercise. Therefore, if you are fasting before sessions for the purpose of losing weight then you are better off doing high intensity sessions . However, your body is usually very well suited to replacing what it has just burned, so burning more fat will mean creating more fat! [Read this
on weight loss.]
When it comes to a question of performance though, you have to ask yourself what is best suited to the race distance you are doing and the training sessions you are looking at. A more polarised training routine may be more suited to the less intense training sessions, but it certainly shouldn't be a standard training procedure. In recent studies, there has been limited performance improvement for men and almost no performance increases for women.
That being said it is not always possible to ensure you aren't training while fasted. If you are doing a significant amount of training you are probably completing some training sessions in a semi fasted state as you haven't had enough time between sessions to replenish your glycogen stores which is why post work out nutrition is so critical to get right.
It is common knowledge that protein is used to rebuild muscle and frequently used as the significant focus in recovery fuel post workout. However, carbohydrate should also be included to help replenish our glycogen stores and the presence of carbohydrate is also required to synthesise protein and aid muscle rebuilding. Some good examples are yoghurt and honey or chocolate milk. It is especially important if you are training multiple times a day to refuel properly. A study of male swimmers on the same diet who trained for 1.5 hours in the morning then again for 1.5 hours in the afternoon compared to those who just trained for 1.5 hours in the afternoon showed that those just training in the afternoon showed a significant increase in sprint performance compared to those who trained twice a day. This surprise outcome was because the swimmers training just once a day where in a fully fuelled state, they did not have as much glycogen depletion and therefore could train harder, leading to greater performance. Clearly this didn't look into overall performance for a season but shows the impact of multiple training sessions in a day and improper fuelling for recovery.
Never underestimate the importance of a rest day to allow for your muscles to replenish their glycogen stores and repair as it can take 24 hours or more to replenish depleted glycogen stores after a heavy training session. And if in doubt, when it comes to recovery, drink chocolate milk – protein, fluid and carbohydrates!

One Kid, One Roll, Once a Month | March 2015
Once again, I am loving having a personal project that keeps me shooting my own kids. And this time, I jumped in the frame (with a remote to trigger the shutter) at the end - so thrilled that one turned out! I am already looking forward to having an album made at the end of the year with these portraits inside. Something my kids and their families will one day cherish as much as I do.
Please check out the next awesome photographer participating in this project, Jennifer Lawrence Nashville portrait photographer.

Bridgette's Blog - Blue Sky Scarf
The Paint & Petals Blue Sky Scarf is perfect for styling with blue jeans and a winter white blouse or sweater. This scarf style is the most unique of the bunch due to its graphic visual quality and simple two toned color pallet. I created this artwork using my painting titled Wind Swept. I took the floral parts of the painting and transformed them into a white silhouette. The white graphic was then placed on a sky blue background color. I love the color blue for clothing because I think it is the most flattering color for every complexion.

Welcome to Week 4 of Thirty Days of Love 2018. Next week you'll get our final message alongside spiritual resources: an ancestor to ground us, art to inspire, and a podcast recommendation to keep us learning. We hope you find these resources and reflections of use to the work you do from your congregation to your community and beyond.
This week our theme is Composting & Watering: Spiritual Sustenance. Where am I empty and what do I need to fill my communities' collective cup? How do I make sure we have what we most need?
We honor our ancestor Fannie Barrier Williams; share oh gentleness by Katie Blanchard; and recommend you check out the podcast Reflection on Belonging on Healing Justice Podcast with Prentis Hemphill: healer, somatics practitioner, organizer and former Healing Justice Director of Black Lives Matter. We encourage you to read more about the legacy and offering of Healing Justice from them here. And if you haven't yet, check out the Thirty Days of Love 2018 All-Ages Activities by Rev. Marisol Caballero. Next week we'll be back with our final message on Lessons for the Next Season: Praxis. Stay tuned!
Spiritual Sustenance can be about filling ourselves and each other up to be sure we have what we need. In last week's message, we talked about the need to each take a shift - inspired by Rev. Ashley Horan - in our justice work. We create the team and community to be able to "take a shift" not only by building other folks leadership, but by figuring out what sustains us and each other for the long term. Worms point us to this symbiotic relationship of mutuality and collective care - worms find themselves nourished by others' waste, their waste in turn nourishing the soil where things are able to grow. If our justice work is rooted in community and truly connected, where do we receive this nourishment to keep going? Where do we offer nourishment and fortification to others? Are there places where you could incorporate some spiritual practices more or differently into your work? Check out this prayer for when you want to do something spiritual but are really nervous.
An ancestor: Fannie Barrier Williams was an activist, author and speaker who wrote and organized exhaustively about the experiences of and discrimination against Black women. Throughout her time, Fannie Barrier Williams called attention to the racial, gender-based, and economic discrimination - systemic and interpersonal - Black women faced across the U.S. She called upon clergy and people of faith to deepen their own theology to grapple with the role of faith communities in confronting white supremacy: "Less theology and more of human brotherhood, less declamation and more common sense and love for truth, must be the qualifications of the new ministry that shall yet save the race from the evils of false teaching." Her work called upon people organizing for racial justice and gender justice to see their work as connected, and the necessity of centering Black women to make that work possible. Over the course of her life, Barrier Williams would go on to support the founding of a number of national organizations, arts and cultural clubs, and a hospital in addition to becoming a leading social activist and public speaker. Some of her work can be seen in The New Woman of Color: The Collected Writings of Fannie Barrier Williams, 1893-1918. Read more about her life here.
An invitation: Prioritizing building and deepening our own and collective practices is not always easy. The scale of threats are massive - and building in time to take care of ourselves and each other is essential. For some of us, this may mean asking other folks to tap in, moving back or finding a new rhythm. For others, this may require honest and direct conversations with ourselves about our needs and the container that would be appropriate to hold or respond to them. To recognize when stepping back is actually just stepping out. That sometimes we are indeed spiritually more hearty than we are willing to acknowledge. That as we develop and deepen our spiritual sustenance, we also need rigor and support to grow the other skills we need to do our work. And a recognition that we tend to ourselves not to prevent hard times from coming, but because of who we want to be and become.
The offering: We hope this short curated list of resources is of use as you create, affirm and expand the practices that support and return you to the work. Do you have a favorite resource - either about sustenance or that has brought you spiritual nourishment? We would love to know at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I started blogging because I loved writing, advertising and style. At the time every fashion blog had two names (think Cupcakes and Cashmere). And the inspiration for this blog's name was less to do with a play on The Young and the Restless, of which I never saw an episode, than The Fast and the Furious (a guilty pleasure).
Today I'm just chasing that happy place where the words flow easily and the inspiration feels limitless.
My likes include dreaming big, art in all its forms, and the girl bosses who run the world.
My dislikes include being too serious, narrow mindedness and avocado toast. (I know! I'm sorry.)

The first film in this sequence no longer exists, as far as we know, though this film is, confusingly, sometimes listed under the title Cock Fight and even under the title of Cock Fight, No. 1. Still, this one is, best research indicates, Cock Fight, No. 2. The subject matter is kind of disturbing here, though the film is so short and the quality so poor that the film itself doesn't really show anything particularly graphic. Still it is footage of an actual cock fight, not a staged one, and that's, of course, not cool. 0 stars.
tl;dr – early cinema's track record on animal cruelty is not good and that's an extra reason to skip this particular film. 0 stars.

He also can be found in the documentary based on his life/work called PERFORMING GIRL and Sundance Fellow Adelina Anthony's film BRUISING FOR BESOS as Rani. He's also been featured in Buzzfeed & Fusion videos, and in many webseries including EASTSIDERS, DYKE CENTRAL and Issa Rae's Color Creative & Project Greenlight produced MINIMUM WAGE and his own series PRIVATE DICK.

is an independent electronic music producer, motion graphics and live performance artist. As a highly-sensitive introvert, her multimedia projects are strategies for energetically managing an overwhelming world. Her music is a combination of lyrical precision, minimalistic composition, and technically amateurish charm. She creates digitally-based media that takes advantage of accessible, user-friendly technology; allowing her to skip time consuming learning curves and get straight to focusing on inventing personalized yet highly relatable language for deeply subtle and internal experiences. She's not a gear-head, rather, a digital folk artist who vividly and simplistically expresses her inner world using resourcefulness and honesty. Her video work incorporates green screen graphics, digital puppetry, and minimalistic compositing to produce imagery that's cerebral, psychedelic, campy, and hypnotic. She combines song and video to create multimedia live performances that explore intimate emotional themes ranging from the challenges/triumphs of being an empath to overstimulation in the Internet Age.

What I'm Geeking Out About This Week - 07/04/14
Here's what I'm geeking out about this week. (Happy Independence Day!)
I've given love for this show many times in the past and this time is one of much joy, being able to say definitively that Community is coming back for season 6 on Yahoo. I was hoping to see it on Hulu since I want their digital network to have a killer show like House of Cards or Orange is the New Black but I'm still happy that it ended up somewhere. I'm mostly looking forward to some closure since just having this would be good to wrap things up (and then a short movie just to complete the prophecy). I'm sure I'll share my thoughts when the show comes back. If you haven't watched the show yet, all of the series is streaming via Hulu Plus. Long live Community!
- Green Lantern
I am continually exploring more of the world of comic books and my latest foray is into some of the recent Green Lantern comics, namely all the stories surrounding the Blackest Night story arc. I really do feel like Green Lantern (any and all of them) is my favorite DC character, right alongside Spider-Man from Marvel. I've only just started getting into some of the comics I've bought recently (Sinestro Corps War, Rage of the Red Lanterns, Agent Orange) but be sure I will be mining them for some relevant moral nuggets to share with you all.
- Maine
So, as of today, I have been back up in my home state of Maine for a week now. I came here for my new job at a school up here and I've just started to get settled in fully. I've started to meet all the people I'll be working with, decorate my new office (which I'm excited to have, since it is my first one), and explore the surrounding area. I'm eager to get into my routine and start working on some projects since I'm still sort of the newbie after my first week who doesn't know how to do anything. I'll definitely be sharing thoughts about things as the process goes along.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the holiday weekend!

Poway, CA – Rudolph Walter Matz, 98, US Navy (ret. Lt. Commander) World War II fighter pilot, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 3, 2018, at his home. Rudolph "Rudy" was born to John and Frances Matz in Utica, Ohio, the second of seven children to be raised on the family farm. Upon graduating from high school, he enlisted in the Navy in 1939. Four of his siblings would also serve in the military at the same time and serve in World War II.
Rudy served in the Navy for 21 years. During World War II at the Battle of Midway, he was a Fire Control man aboard the destroyer USS Hughes. He was then commissioned as a naval aviator completing his flight school in 1943 and would go on to fly 44 combat missions flying the F6F-3 Hellcat and Corsair with the VF-1 "High Hatters" aboard the U.S.S. Yorktown CV-10. Rudy Matz fought in the following WW II battles: Midway, Marshall Islands, Gilbert Islands, First Battle of the Philippine Sea, Great Marianas Turkey Shoot, Coral Sea, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. He shot down five enemy planes during the war, earning 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 8 Air Medals, and 2 Presidential Citations. After the war, Rudy would go on to work for the Navy as an experimental flight test pilot, testing 33 different high altitude planes and earning the rank of Lieutenant Commander. A plaque recognizing his distinguished military career is placed at the Mt. Soledad War Memorial in La Jolla, CA, and in 2014 Rudy was awarded the Midway American Patriot Award.
Rudy married his first wife, Maxine Wilson (deceased 2/9/01) in Newark, Ohio on September 24, 1944. Their 57-year marriage gave them four children (Carolyn, Lindsey, Rudy Jr., and Eric). Rudy graduated from Ohio State University in 1956 and was subsequently stationed in San Diego, living in Imperial Beach. After purchasing land in Poway in 1955, Rudy would go on to open Poway Lumber and Hardware in 1958. Upon retiring from the United States Navy in 1960, he moved the family to Poway. Rudy established two businesses in Poway: the aforementioned Poway Lumber and, in 1974, Poway's Padre Transit Mix. He was an important figure in the Poway community, co-founding the local Lions Club and Poway Rodeo, which allowed him to serve and give back to the community he loved. Rudy was also a member of the San Diego Al Bahr Shriners service organization. For his community service, commitment, and accomplishments to the Poway community for over 50 years, Rudy was awarded the Poway Mayor's Award in 2014.
On March 21st, 2015 Rudy would marry again, to his long-term companion of 13 years, Tess Hernandez-Matz, and gain two step son's Jason and Brandon Hernandez. In his free time Rudy enjoyed spending time in his orchard, fishing, traveling, coin collecting, and most importantly, spending time with his family and loved ones. During his time in the Navy and in retirement, Rudy traveled the world and enjoyed every opportunity he had to spend time on vacation with his family. He is remembered by family and friends as a kind, humble, dignified, honorable and loving man whose service to our country and community demonstrated his incredibly selfless nature. In death, he is remembered for the life he lived, the country he served, and the community he cared for.
Rudy is preceded in death by his father and mother John and Frances Matz, first wife Maxine Matz, sisters Virginia Appel and Frieda Valenti, and brothers Otto and Robert Matz.
Rudy is survived by his second wife Tess; his sister Betty Logan (Frank), his four children, Carolyn (Tom), Lindsey, Rudy Jr. (Lora), and Eric (Lisa); and stepsons Jason (Cherry) and Brandon (Ribi). He is also survived by his nine grandchildren, Eve, Chris, Brian, Adam, Brittney, Ashley, Kaeley, Carley, and Gage; and four great-grandchildren, Chance, Maddison, Zoey, and Brixton.

President Buhari inaugurates world class EFCC headquarters (Photos)
FG Releases Primary/Secondary School Calendar for the 2019/2020 Academic Session - Click Here for Details
President Muhammadu Buhari says the fight against corruption is a collective responsibility of all Nigerians. He has therefore sued for more cooperation between the three arms of government and the entire citizenry, to succeed in taming monster in all sectors and parts of the country.
He made the remark on Tuesday at the inauguration of the multi billion naira ultra-modern headquarters of the country's anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, located in Jabi district of the nation's capital, Abuja.
The Nigerian leader, who noted with joy that a lot of progress has been made in the fight against corruption since his assumption of office in 2015, pledged to sustain the tempo in his determined effort to rid the country of looters of the nation's treasury.
"Throughout my journey in national service and since 2015, I have made a very conscious decision to pursue a vigorous fight against corruption in public life. Since 2015, we have made significant progress in the fight against corruption. Everyone now knows that corrupt officials will be held to account, no matter how long it takes. We have recovered and are still recovering trillions of naira that were stolen in the past few years by people without conscience,"he said.
President Buhari used the opportunity to further seek for collaboration from the Judiciary and legislature, in order to build on the gains already recorded in the determined fight against corruption.
"We are pursuing recoveries everywhere and are making sure that anyone who has been found culpable is made to answer for his or her crime under the law. It is my hope and expectation that the judiciary, which is a critical stakeholder and partner in the war against corruption, would continue to collaborate with the Executive to bring corrupt people to book.
"Permit me to also seize this opportunity to call on the Legislature which provides the legal framework for the anti-corruption war to add more verve to the determination of government to rid our nation of the brazen corruption witnessed in recent years, through reviewing archaic provisions in our laws and proactive passage of new legislation," he said.
Dogged Fight
The President said though corruption will always fight back, no obstacle can stand on his way as he remains focused on fighting corruption to a standstill and he protection of public trust.
"This is another milestone in our determined and collective fight against corruption. What I see here is not only a structure of concrete and metal, I see in this edifice, the resolve of Nigerians to fight corruption. But structures are not the whole story.
We must change our ways of handling public trust. Corruption not only kills governments but destroys societies. It is the major reason why we are struggling with basic developmental issues that other comparable nations have long overcome.
War of corruption is not an easy one to fight, because it affects so many different branches of our lives, so much that some people do not even consider breaking trust is anymore a crime. It has become the norm. That is why we must fight this attitude and encourage Nigerians to CHANGE their attitudes and perspectives.
The goal of this Administration is to ensure the protection of public trust, and the anti-corruption war is at its centre. We never intended, and we are not engaged in witch-hunts, but we are determined within the laws to call people to account," President Buhari stated.
The Nigerian leader urged citizens to lend the needed support to the country's anti-graft agencies in order to succeed.
He said: "We appeal to Nigerians to support regulatory agencies like Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, because fighting corruption is everyone's concern. I call on the Judiciary and the National Assembly to join hands in this national effort."
He also sought for the support of the international community as Nigeria's works hard on the repatriation of stolen funds stashed abroad.
"I am glad to note that quite a number of nations are signifying interest to help us tighten their laws and enter into agreements with Nigeria to repatriate not only stolen funds but to make the culprits face due process of law. We are committed to working with our foreign friends to stop the inflow of stolen funds from Nigeria into their countries and recovering what is there already. These assets, when repatriated will be put to building our infrastructure," he said.
The new EFCC headquarters building which started in 2010 was fully financed by the Nigerian government. The world class edifice has sufficient office accommodation for over 700 staff of the Commission, a health centre, forensic laboratory as well as modern detention facility for male and female suspects.
Present at the inauguration ceremony were the Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Patricia Scotland, Former South African President, Thabo Mbeki and Speaker of Nigeria's House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.Click Here to Join Newsnow Nigeria WhatsApp Group for Breaking News Alerts More News

In true Food & Drink fashion, my short-lived stint at Time Out New York came to an end with a plate of Dominique Ansel pastries. It was a whirlwind eight months full of eating, drinking and writing that — while stressful at times — truly helped me grow as a reporter and editor.
A look back at some of my favorite pieces:
It took two weeks to fact-check the entire Chinatown issue, but it gave me a chance to put all those years of Chinese classes to good use. I also discovered some phenomenal cheap eats along the way, like the roasted duck at Pho Hoang and soul-warming beef noodle soup at Lao Bei Fang.
One of my favorite desserts — the dreamy black sesame crème brûlée at — made it on the cover of TONY's annual 100 Best feature. And I got to try a Cronut without waiting in line.
My very first assignment was a huge Japan package, which meant eating at some of the city's top sushi temples seven days straight. Later this summer, I did the same for BBQ and burgers and for Thanksgiving, organized a massive pie-tasting at TONY headquarters.
And finally, thanks to a lot of persistence and late nights, my fellow assistant editor Christina and I pulled together a Fall Preview that featured a whopping 123 restaurants, including big names like Toro, Golden Cadillac and one day, the full Ivan Ramen in the Lower East Side.

Counseling center to open April 1 in downtown Tiffin
Licensed professional clinical counselor Lea Frank is to open a new counseling center downtown April 1.
Frank, owner of Higher Ground Counseling Center, 205 S. Washington St., is to offer clinical counseling for people ages 17 and older. She can diagnose and treat emotional and mental disorders, including depression and anxiety, and offers marriage counseling, Christian counseling and other services, according to a news release from Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership.
In August, the release said Frank is to get intensive training in EMDR therapy – eye-movement-desensitization and reprocessing – to help those who have suffered from trauma.
"I just never really felt the push to do my own thing until it fell into place over the last 3 months," Frank said in the release. "I'm excited to start my own business and downtown Tiffin felt like the perfect location."
Frank has been an independently licensed clinical counselor since 1995. She worked at Heidelberg University part time for 23 years, partnered that with working at private practice Corner Stone in Bellevue and then was with New Transitions in Tiffin for about 10 years. Most recently, she has been working at Tiffin University as a counselor since 2015.
Higher Ground Counseling Center was approved for the first Sign Enhancement Grant of 2019, receiving $1,000 toward a new sign for the business. It builds on the momentum of other businesses in the healthcare field coming into downtown Tiffin including MK Counseling and Consulting and Reeser Chiropractic, the release said.
Clients can schedule sessions by calling (567) 220-6055 or emailing email@example.com for more information.

In which we bid a fond farewell to the fam.
On this week's show, Danica and Brandon watched "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos" and they have some thoughts! Mostly about character development through the season, but partly on the show's continuing efforts to confront ideas that are really tearing down society. Like organized religion! Yayyy!

The most daunting part of upgrading to Windows Vista may be trying to figure out where in the layers of menus the networking and file-sharing options are hidden.

It may not be something you do everyday, but having the supplies and know-how to whip up a network cable on the spot can be very handy.
Tips for Securing Your Home Router
Seemingly minor and easily overlooked settings can still have profound security implications. Here are some steps you can take to make sure your wired or wireless home router � and by extension, your network � is as secure as possible.
Microsoft Windows Home Server
If you have a home network, you'll welcome the easy file sharing, remote access and the image-based backup features of Windows Home Server.

When a user on another computer on the network attempts to access
a shared disk or folder, Windows XP Professional checks to see whether
that user has permission to access it.� The client computer sends
the user name and password of the user who is currently logged in,
and the XP Professional computer checks them.� If those 'credentials'
match an account on XP Professional, then it checks the ACL for
the shared disk or folder.� If the ACL permits access by that user,
access is granted; if not, access is denied.
On a client running Windows 95, 98, or Me, that's the whole story.
The user must be logged in with a user name and password that XP
Professional recognizes.
On a client running Windows 2000 or XP, there's more to the story.
If XP Professional doesn't recognize the logged-in user name and
password, it causes the client computer to prompt the user to enter
a different user name and password.�
The following shows how to connect to a shared disk or folder from
a computer running Windows 95, 98, or Me, and also shows some of
the more common error conditions which can occur. In this example,
the client computer is running Windows 98 Second Edition.
Under Windows 95/98/Me, you can set the Primary Network Logon
to Windows Logon, and all of the networking features
described here will function correctly.� The only situation in which
the Primary Network Logon must be set to Client for Microsoft
Networks is to log on to a Windows NT server or a Windows 2000
The most important thing is to understand that everything is keyed
to the user name. When you boot up the client machine, you need
to get logged in with the correct user name.
Many Windows 95/98/Me machines are configured to boot all the way
through to the Windows desktop without the user actually performing
a login. If this is the case, click the Start button, and
look at the Log Off menu option. It will show you what user
name is currently logged on. If it isn't correct, then click Log
Off and log back on under the correct user name. If the XP Professional
account was set up with a password, then you must enter that password
at the Windows logon prompt. If you configured XP to permit 'blank'
password authentication, then you may click OK without entering
a password.
you ought to be able to browse the network by double-clicking Network
Neighborhood (or My Network Places).
If you get an error at this stage, you're most likely not logged
on. See the Troubleshooting section for how to proceed.
You can now browse the contents
of the XP Professional machine by double-clicking it.
If the list of shares appears, then all is well. However, a common
failure at this point is to be asked for the IPC$ password.
This happens because the XP Professional machine is not satisfied
with the credentials of the user attempting to browse it. See the
Troubleshooting section for how to proceed.
may now look in the individual shares.� If all is well, you'll see
the shares that the user has permissions for, yet you ought to get
an Access Denied error (below) if you attempt to access other
shares. In this example, we're logged in as Fraser and can
access the Boys' stuff, but not the Girls' stuff (right).
If Windows XP Professional doesn't
recognize the user name and password presented by a Windows 2000
or XP computer which wants to access a share, you can enter different
credentials.� Here, we're logged on to another Windows XP computer
as a user which doesn't have an account on the computer named RONS-PC.
Entering a valid user name and password grants access

the best things in life are... free?
i like reading the 'free' postings on craig's list. some free things of note today included the left- pictured concrete chunks, electric cat litter box accessories, a bottle of "Log Cabin Country Kitchen" syrup, two cans of soup (one of them Campbell's Cream of Celery), a bottle of Seasoning salt, a package of ginger and a few other items, free macro algae, some "unique logs," a bolt of green fabric, a guinea pig, several pianos, a hot tub, and an "extremely sweet dog." in the bay area, it seems people can't get rid of things quickly enough; most ads are replete with multiple exclamation marks and threats like "one hour only!" or "i might have already taken everything to the dump if you don't hurry!"
interestingly enough, the free listings for france's craig's list numbers only EIGHT for the past month in the entire country. These amount to two beds, an old television set, a free ticket to poland in september (but it's something to the tune of you have to ride with this poor harried father and hold one of his babies in your lap), and a few ads for moving boxes. why write about this? why is it important? i can't exactly say. i'll have to do more research before making too many conclusions. but the only free listing in belgium is for a wish, and when you click the link you get a message that the posting has expired.

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
First Amendment questions can arise when government bodies, including the judicial branch, take action to restrain or repress speech or activities that could be construed as protected speech. There are also situations when questions pertaining to petitioning rights come into play in defamation cases. The freedom of the press contained in the First Amendment is the backdrop for a variety of issues that arise in Communication and Media Law.
Originally, the First Amendment only applied to laws passed by the federal congress. That changed in 1925 when the United States Supreme Court ruled in Gitlow v. New York, 268 U.S. 652 (1925) that it applied to laws and regulations issued by government at any level, including State and local. Thus in modern times we are used to enjoying First Amendment rights with regard to all of government's actions. However, the scope and application of the First Amendment deserves detailed analysis that could be decisive. The tort of defamation and certain privacy rights are affected by First Amendment and certain laws associated with it. In those instances, it may be necessary to seek legal help and the Law Offices of George E. Bourguignon, Jr. could do just that.

More than 700,000 ethnic Rohingya Muslims arrived in Bangladesh last year from neighboring Myanmar, escaping what the United Nations has called ethnic cleansing by Myanmar's army, an allegation Myanmar denies.
Upon arrival in Bangladesh, many of the refugees were destitute, starving after fleeing army attacks on their villages.
As a result, many families depend on the hot meals handed out at this kitchen by the Action Against Hunger aid group in the town of Ukhiya. The group also provides high-protein biscuits to children to take home after their meal to further supplement their diets.

When it comes to Indian food in Vancouver and Canada, one name hogs the spotlight. Need I even speak it?
But Surrey is Indo-Canadian turf and, yes, there are a few gems among the multitude of Indian restaurants in the sprawling city.
The name I didn't mention — Vikram Vij — is there, too, with My Shanti, an exotically modern restaurant serving beautiful food. But Apna Chaat deserves a shout-out for the Mumbai style street food, a local rarity. You'll feel the flush of having scored as you pay the paltry bill at the counter. Most dishes are $7 to $8, and most will fill up your tank.
Apna Chaat ("our snack") looks like a mom and pop restaurant, but the minds behind it weren't schooled by grandmothers and aunties. Bikram and Jogi Singh were chefs in Mumbai, and previously ran a couple other Indian restaurants — Bombay Se in Surrey (well known to locals and attracted visiting Indian celebrities with its Bollywood take) and Cafe Bombay in Vancouver's Kitsilano.
"It's a total street food concept," Bikram said on a phone interview. "It's from all corners of India, but predominantly Bombay (former name for Mumbai), where most Indian food trends are born."
Bikram once cooked at the opulent Taj Mahal Palace hotel (which came under siege by terrorists in 2008 — he was in Vancouver by then), and Jogi worked for what was considered the best restaurant in Mumbai 20 years ago.
Apna Chaat opened seven years ago, its wild success eclipsing their other restaurants.
"It's a constant rush," he says. "Five hundred to 600 people come through every day."
Many head to the golgappa takeout counter on one side of the restaurant, where they can stand and pop golpoppas as if they were in India, or take them home. Local Indo-Canadians are mad for golpoppas, but since the dish is a rarity in these parts, it requires some explaining.
They're crisp hollow fried wheat poppers, kind of like Ping-Pong balls. You crack open the top, spoon in a chickpea and potato mix, and then some tamarind or chili water and then gulp in one fell swoop. They sell 3,000 to 4,000 a day.
"It's very time consuming to make," says Singh. "Some don't puff. You'll find them all over the place in Bombay."
Apna Chaat is super casual. The chefs' father is on duty taking orders and comes around to chat if there's a break in the order line. A first-timer might panic, making sense of the unfamiliar menu. No curries here! Order some golgappa (also called pani puri) which come six or 24 to an order. You wonder how a such a labour intensive snack originated.
The Dahi Batata Puri, translated, means yogurt potato and puffed bread somewhat like golgappa. It's stuffed with potatoes, chicken, onions, crisp vermicelli noodles and yogurt and served with three chutneys. There's seven to a plate, too many to finish. Ha! Or so we thought.
"It's hot in India, so the yogurt cools," says Singh.
I tried a Pav Bhaji. Pav is a Portuguese style bun derived from the word leg. Why? In the old days, when there were no motorized mixers, the Portuguese mixed the dough with their feet, like grape crushers. The bhaji is a soupy mash of potatoes, carrots, peas and a specific mix of spices used only in this dish. It was a meh for me, but the Chicken Tikka Kathi Roll made me happy. Chicken tikka, cooked in a tandoor, and egg are wrapped in paratha and come with a side of fries which were surprisingly good coming from an Indian kitchen.
Frankies are part of the global food fusion that just happens everywhere.
"An Indian gentleman travelled to Turkey and saw shawarma wraps and created it in Bombay. It's everywhere — in canteens, offices — and it's made with a really soft flat bread. Like a burrito, it can be stuffed with a variety of fillings."
Another popular dish is the Indian burger, made with a potato pattie and chutney sandwiched in pav. The intrigue goes on, with dishes like chicken lollipops, sev puri — too many to list
Indians love Chinese food, and I couldn't get away from it in India. Apna Chaat gives customers what they want when they want a break from Indian — chow mein, fried rice, veggie rolls, won tons with Szechuan sauce. Pretty retro. (When Singh cooked at Taj Mahal, he was in charge of the Chinese restaurant.)
Apna Chaat is a long drive from Vancouver, but it won't be a regrettable one. Consider it a time travel to Mumbai for a street food tour.
That's cricket
Eating insects is no big deal in much of the world but I can't count my last encounter with whole grasshoppers in ice cream with skinny legs sticking out as desirable. But I'm all in favour of more insects in our diet.
It's definitely an environmental boon, as raising insects uses significantly less water and feed compared to other meat protein sources. My preference is for insect powder — no legs or eyes to deal with. Meeru Dhalwala used cricket flour in an effort to convert diners at Vij's with cricket paratha a few years ago. I thought they were delicious but, alas, not enough diners agreed.
Now the home cook can easily experiment with President's Choice Cricket Powder which can be added to baked goods, smoothies, muffins, sauces, soups; they add a nutty flavour. The PC Test Kitchen says you can add as much as you like as a source of protein and vitamin B12. It's available locally at Real Canadian Superstore in Vancouver for $13.99 (113g).

"The investigation suggested they were developing an ill-defined plot to carry out an attack, likely to target a place of worship," a judicial source said.
Prince Julio Cesar
French police have raided a neo-Nazi cell accused of plotting attacks on Jewish or Muslim places of worship, judicial sources confirmed on Tuesday.

US: Straight Pride Organizers Linked to White Supremacists
"The investigation suggested they were developing an ill-defined plot to carry out an attack, likely to target a place of worship," the judicial source said, adding that five members of the group, who were "close in ideology to the neo-Nazi movement" were charged between September and May over the alleged plot
Police in the French southeastern city of Grenoble first arrested a man on weapons charges on September 2018. The investigation led them to the four other suspects, two of them minors. The sources gave no details of specific targets or motives
Anti-terrorism investigators took over the case in January and charged the suspects with terror offenses, including making and transporting explosive devices and partaking in a terrorist conspiracy
France has seen the rise of a handful of alleged terror plots involving far-right extremists in recent months. On November, six people were arrested over an alleged plot to attack President Emmanuel Macron
A similar case happened on July 2017, when a 23-year-old was charged with plotting to assassinate the head of state at France's Bastille Day military parade. The man told investigators he wanted to kill Macron along with "Muslims, Jews, Blacks, and homosexuals," three kitchen knives were found in his car
On June 2018, 13 people with links to the radical Action des Forces Operationnelles (Operational Forces of Action) group were arrested by anti-terrorist police over an alleged plot to attack Muslims

Military Stressed Over Coke Can GPS
By Deane Barker on July 2, 2004
Military frets over Coke's phones, GPS: The military is asking soldiers to "examine their Coke cans" before bringing them into meetings. Pepsi is about to take a huge leap in the military market.
There's a new security threat at some of the nation's military bases, and it looks uncannily like a can of Coke.
Specially rigged Coke cans, part of a promotion, contain cell phones and global positioning chips. That has officials at some installations worried that the cans could be used to eavesdrop, and they are instituting protective measures.

To track some personally noteworthy events, observations and thoughts, letting them age and savor/regret them again a long time later.
Friday, May 8, 2015
I just shared this with some friends and decided not to wait for their feedback before blogging
To me Home is way better. I think Dick Lee tried too hard and missed the target with this one. What a pity when this is for SG50. I think he labored under too much pressure. He wasn't the right Dick Lee when he composed this. Sigh!
This song did not pass the test of resonating with our hearts. It was a difficult challenge.

About 5,000 views now with likes beating dislikes 2:1. Guess I am in the minority.

I am really bored by the song - it was not catchy all that ho ho ho ho ho ... doesn't even bring the christmas spirit around though that was not meant to be. I will go for Count on Singapore anytime. It is so dry and dead-pan. Maybe I am wrong but I certainly cannot bring myself to join the "majority"ReplyDelete

|Ten points if you identify this darkened man in your comment!
The moment was so peaceful that I reached out to take my husband's hand. He smiled at me for an instant, and then we both gasped. "Oops, sorry!" I cringed. "Force of habit!" he chuckled. I felt like a teenager caught kissing. Hand holding is okay only between people of the same sex in Saudi Arabia.
Savannah was full of questions. Why did the models in the advertisements have pixelated or darkened faces?
"Oh," I said, "I think it's because in Islam, idolatry is not permitted, so art is supposed to focus on shapes and designs, not on figures."
"Then why is it okay to show women in drawings and cartoons, like over there?"
". . . Um, I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong about the idolatry thing. Maybe they pixelate the faces so you don't see how beautiful the women are."
"Then why do they pixelate the faces of little girls too?"
By this time, I had questions of my own—why is it that the religious police insist on pixelating the faces of women in photos, but in real life, the only body part a woman can show is her face (if she's lucky)? What is the danger, really? The body or the face—shouldn't they make up their minds?
And why not pixelate men's faces too? Aren't they a temptation for gay men?
These are some of the questions I'd really like a good Muslim to answer for me, but I'd never have the courage to ask them myself.

Today's news brings epic eye-rolling over gender pay gap excuses, Trump's wall built from the flesh of military personnel, and Russia and Facebook vying for the world's least-trusted institution.
Instead, ignore the front page and curl up in front of a warm fire while we consider the science of burning wood in Norway, published in the journal Scientific Reports recently. But don't get too comfy there — this toasty-warm, carbon-neutral energy source may not be quite so climate-friendly after all.
The Norwegians have raised the chopping, stacking and burning of wood to an art form — they even make epic 12-hour TV shows about it. Statistics Norway estimates over a million households burned more than a million tonnes of wood in 2016.
Because the wood is sourced mostly from plantation forests, it's considered to be a carbon-neutral energy source: the carbon released as the wood burns are absorbed by the next generation of growing trees. CO2 released from burning biomass aren't even counted in measures of carbon emissions.
Not so fast, say a collaboration of researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and SINTEF Energy. While the cycle of biofuel carbon emission and re-absorption is broadly true, the full impact of burning so much wood on the climate is a bit more complex, and may in fact be warming the planet a lot more than previously thought.
First, there's the issue of logging. Cutting down and chopping up so many trees requires loads of machinery, which emits a lot of carbon. Then again, the warming caused by those emissions is offset by the cooling effect of the large, snow-covered areas uncovered by logging, which reflect sunlight back into space.
The researchers also measured many different kinds of carbon emissions coming out of Norway's many chimneys, including soot, also known as black carbon, which has a double impact on climate. Not only does soot itself increase warming in the atmosphere, it settles on snowy ground and reduces reflectivity, decreasing the snow's cooling effect.
Soot emissions have halved in the last few decades thanks to modern, efficient wood-burning stove technologies. But the size of the soot particles is an important factor in their warming effect, and the tiniest, nano-sized particles are the most challenging to filter out.
So while it's not necessary to brick up the fireplace, lock away the axe, and binge-watch your scandi-noir dramas under a duvet, this research shows just how tricky it is to be Hygge and carbon neutral at the same time.
