Insulating above a drop ceiling
I have a drop ceiling with the above space going to the roof rafters. I want to build 2x4 frame work 6 inches above the tiles and staple r38 faced insulation in the frame work. My concern is that there will be an airspace between the tiles and the insulation which I believe needs some fire proof material touching the facing. Can I use fireproof 4 mil plastic against the facing to be legal??
I cannot use sheetrock because of the added weight and yes sheet rock is cheaper than drop ceiling tiles.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Your local B.D. would have the correct answer. Most minimum safety codes require a ceiling, check to be safe.
I installed accoustical ceilings for about 5 years in mostly commercial and industrial buildings and some residential basements. Whenever insulation was called for it was always unfaced batts that was just laid on top of the ceiling tiles and grid. This was not a fun job, especially on a hot summer day. Had to open tiles up and throw a batt up and start at one wall and roll it out. And work your way across using pipes to help place the itch.

The current version of ENDA (H.R. 3017/S. 1584) would prohibit employment discrimination against employees and job-seekers due to their sexual orientation and gender identity. H.R. 3685 would exempt religiously-affiliated businesses, schools and other organizations from coverage.
In 2007, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a previous version of ENDA that is similar to twenty state laws that protect employees from sexual orientation discrimination only. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2007 (H.R. 3685) passed the House by a vote of 235 - 184 on November 7, 2007. The bill stalled in the Senate.
SHRM supported the 2007 version of ENDA, but has concerns about the ambiguity of establishing a gender identity protected class. The 2009 legislation defines the term gender identity as the "gender-related identity, appearance, or mannerisms or other gender-related characteristics of an individual, with or without regard to the individual's designated sex at birth."

Determining the day of ovulation
I am trying to conceive for more than 2 years. I have never tried to plan intercourse according the ovulation. My sister told that it is the best thing to do in order to increase your chances of getting pregnant. I am interested what is the best way to determine the exact day of ovulation, taking ovulation tests? or is it more accurate to do an ultrasound every day?
Please tell me your experience of how you were determining the exact day of ovulation.
Thanks a lot in advance,

Not surprisingly, Android and BlackBerry users are going to give the evil eye with this one, especially when we constantly see iPhone users getting new features first with Foursquare. This time around, the popular app for iOS allows iPhone users to check-in to specific events – like popular concerts, movies, and sporting events.
Rather than simply checking into a specific venue and shouting you're there because of some special event, the Foursquare app will provide addition information related to the event location. In fact, Foursquare is teaming up with popular names like ESPN, Movietickets, and Songkick to expand their database – and so far, it seems that they have compiled over 50,000 venues in a matter of months.
Naturally, sharing your favorite locations is getting better for iPhone users, but it'll eventually become available to other platforms in the near future as well. In the meantime, Android and BlackBerry users will need to resort to doing the old fashion way.

eSaint (APR) Student FAQs
Q: What time do I register?
A: Registration request processing happens according to class priority. You can find the registration schedule matrix in the online APR documentation or in the Course Schedule.
Q: How do I get off registration hold?
A: The type of hold you are on determines how to get off hold.
Dean Hold means you have no declared major on file or no advisor on record. You must contact the office of Advising in Whitman Hall and complete the paperwork necessary. That office can release the hold.
Financial Hold means you have a financial obligation to the University. You must contact the Office of Student Financial Services. They can release the hold when you are clear.
Registrar Hold means you have not met your obligation to the Health Center in providing documentation or you have not met some other obligation to the Office of the Registrar. You must contact the Office of the Registrar.
Advisor Hold means you have not met with your advisor regarding course selection for next term. Contact your advisor.
Q: How do I get instructor permission for a course?
A: For instructor or department chair permission you must contact the appropriate person and request permission. Then, give them your student ID number so they can post that number in the course permissions list. This must be done BEFORE a registration request for the course can be made. When they add you to the permissions list you will receive an email confirmation and you can then request the course.
Q: What if I miss my registration time period?
A: During registration week each student is able to take advantage of 7 or 8 registration processes with class priority. Following the week of registration, until the last day of classes, the APR system will continue to process registration requests for all students.
Q: Where is the open course list?
A: The number of open and restricted/reserved seats will be noted in APR with each course.
Q: Where do I find the list of distribution requirements?
A: You can find the distribution requirements for graduation in the Course Schedule booklet and the University Catalog.
Q: What does SPTP mean in the course title?
A: SPTP in a course title means Special Topic. These courses are not yet part of the regular curriculum. Descriptions for these courses can be found at the back of the Course Schedule booklet or online by clicking on the course title.
Q: What are reserved seats?
A: Some classes have seats reserved for particular class years or for majors/minors. Clicking on the link in the Reserved column will present a message detailing the number and type of restricted seats . Clicking on the link in the Reserved column will give information on restricted/reserved seats. Remember that reserved seats might be released as the week progresses so be sure to keep checking.
Q: How do I find course descriptions?
A: The course title is a link to the description for the course.
Q: Will the system check if I have met the pre-requisites when I request a course?
A: No. The system will check for time conflicts, permission required, and too many units requested but it will not check that you have met prerequisites or that you have requested a required lab. If a course has pre-requisites there will be a 'y' in the Pre-Req column. Click on the 'y' to view pre-requisites.
Q: I am going to do a project or independent study and it is not listed with the courses offered. How can I register?
A: In cases where an independent study or project is not available for registration through the web system the registration can be handled manually through the office of the Registrar. It will require that you submit a completed registration card to the office of the Registrar with the appropriate signature(s).

Fox News Leaps To Conclusion That Census Shows The Benefits of Low Taxes
Blog ››› ››› NED RESNIKOFF
The Census Bureau has released the first bundle of their 2010 data and findings, including which states will gain congressional seats based on population growth, and which will lose them. State legislatures need this data first so they can begin the grueling process of redistricting legislative districts as soon as they convene next year. But the Census Bureau has a lot more, less-time sensitive information that it will be releasing as time goes on. But the lack of full information doesn't matter to the Republican PR machine that is Fox News.
Fox News has decided what the preliminary data release means: people moved from states to high taxes to states with low taxes.
Here's Fox News' Martha MacCallum beating the drum:
MACCALLUM: But we do know that people vote with their feet, okay? And when you've got people leaving my beloved home state of New Jersey, I mean, the taxes are too high, and, you know, the government is having a tough time.
COLMES: Yeah, well, that's nice to make the assumption that people are leaving because of union issues, or because of right to work issues. How do we know they're not going there because of the weather? We don't know the motivation, we don't know why people are going from state to state. You're presuming-- Let me look at a map--
COLMES: It could be, hey, I like the warm weather of Arizona. I like the warm weather of Texas.
Of course, Fox News contributor Alan Colmes failed to persuade MacCallum that this particular correlation equals causation.
Of course, Fox News' relentless insistence that taxes are the main driving factor ignores other potential causes besides the weather.
To name one other factor: Many of the states that saw the highest rate of population growth also grew in their population of immigrants. It's true! I found out about it from Fox News' own website.
Several states with large immigration populations, both legal and illegal, will gain at least one seat out of the latest census numbers. They include Florida, Texas, Arizona and Nevada. South Carolina, Georgia and Washington state, which all saw unusually high rates of growth in their immigrant populations over the past decade, will also gain a congressional seat each. South Carolina, for instance, registered a 150 percent increase in its immigrant population, according to a CIS analysis.
Camarota said that regardless of whether the changes are coming from influxes of illegal or legal immigrants, more districts are going to be created with swaths of people in them who can't vote.
Additionally, overall growth in the Latino population of many of these states could account for much. Fox News Latino reports that, "many demographic experts have been expecting the 2010 Census to show that some of the largest growth in population would occur in states that are home to Hispanics, who have a higher birthrate than most other groups and include millions of immigrants."
And that doesn't even scratch the surface of all the factors that could be involved. For example, Georgia (which gained a seat), is #3 on the list of states with lowest overall cost of living. Texas, which gained four, is #7. New York (minus two) is #47, and New Jersey (minus one) is #45. Meanwhile, a quick look at the most recent National Vital Statistic Report from the CDC reveals that the birth rate is higher on average in states that gained seats than those that lost. Texas has a birth rate of 16.2, Utah (which gained a seat as well) has a staggering 19.4, and New York and Ohio, which lost two seats each, have 12.7 and 12.5, respectively. The average birth rate in states to gain seats was 14.61. In states to lose seats, it was 12.69
And why were taxes the deciding issue this time, when in 2000, high-tax California gained a seat?
The point isn't that it's inconceivable taxes played a role in demographic shifts. But to draw the conclusion that taxes were the decisive factor simply isn't warranted based on the data that is available.
Rather, it's simply another excuse for Fox to push the GOP's low-tax gospel.

It has been a hectic run up to Christmas and yesterday went to the RIBA staff party which was great fun (see winning 'steam train' dessert on Twitter link). In the past six weeks I have visited Nottingham East Midlands and spoken at the Maggie Centre with Piers Gough.
Hosted student Presidents Medals evening was a real treat with some fantastic projects which will be on show at RIBA until end of Jan.
I spoke at the Bartlett and presented the Donaldson medal to student Charlotte Reynolds, and also spoke to students in Manchester school of architecture.
Went to Bristol's new revamped architecture centre and spoke on diversity at Disabled architects seminar and next day spoke at CIC Constructive women's conference and spoke at the Hertforshire annual dinner.
Introduced Tuesday evening talks of Thomas Heatherwick, and Eric Owen Moss Jencks award evening.

Well I finally got the money together to take the Utah CC class, and came across something interesting.
In the class we were told that Utah had changed the Notify laws, so that it was not required, but highly recommended. They couldn't tell me why or when...Anyone with more info?

100% Grass-Fed Beef
Janzen Family Farms produces 100% grass-fed beef from cattle that have lived their entire life cycle on wide-open pastures. We acquired our first all-grass adapted cattle in 2007 from Grassroots Cattle Co. of Hutchinson, Kansas, owned and operated by Torrey and Jim Ball. These animals are an old line Angus, both black and red, bred from stock that was adapted to the cold winters and dry conditions of the High Plains of eastern Colorado and Montana, and birthing on their own. They are bred to finish in 21 to 26 months on grass-only diets, resulting in healthy, flavorful meat.
Our Janzen Family Farms grass-fed animals are raised to meet or exceed criteria established in late 2007 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the "grass (forage) fed marketing claim standard." This standard states that "grass and/or forage shall be the feed source consumed for the lifetime of the ruminant animals, with the exception of milk consumed prior to weaning. The diet shall be derived solely from forage and animals cannot be fed grain or grain by-products and must have continuous access to pasture during the growing season."

Norma L. McCorvey (b. 1947) is best known as "Jane Roe" in the landmark Roe v. Wade lawsuit in which a 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling recognized abortion as a constitutional right, overturning individual states' laws against abortion.
McCorvey initially claimed she had been raped, but later admitted she had become pregnant due to birth control failure. She now claims she became the "pawn" of two young and ambitious lawyers who were looking for a plaintiff with whom they could use to challenge the Texas state law prohibiting abortion.
In 1995, McCorvey quit her job at a Dallas women's clinic, joined a church pastored by a leader of Operation Rescue, and has since become an advocate of the pro-life movement, fighting to make abortion illegal.

Two Kicker 6x9s, replaces the weak subs the Harman Kardon system comes with. You can run an amp to it as it supports 125 watts each. I ran it with just the stock system and the bass hit a lot cleaner. $100 obo
This item is discontinued so it is very hard to find and are only the few that will fit in the stock harmon kardon enclosure. Last I heard it will only fit the coupe enclosure so be sure to research. thanks!

Disney Debt Rating Put on CreditWatch Negative
On Mar. 20, 2003, Standard & Poor's placed its 'BBB+' long-term corporate credit rating on Walt Disney (DIS ) on CreditWatch with negative implications, based on Standard & Poor's expectations of lower earnings and commensurately slower debt reduction in a now more difficult environment for the entertainment and theme park company.
Standard & Poor's expects downgrade potential will be limited to one notch, to the 'BBB' level. The 'A-2' short-term corporate credit and commercial paper ratings were affirmed and were not placed on CreditWatch.
The company has acknowledged that it will likely miss its earnings target of 25% to 35% growth for the year ending Sept. 30, which will likely translate into less debt reduction than Standard & Poor's had been relying on in maintaining the rating. Credit measures have been subpar for the rating since October, 2002, but Standard & Poor's had been closely watching the company's progress through a gradual business pickup. Although theme park attendance had begun to rebound in the quarter ended December, 2002, it has softened again as international tensions have mounted, and at a time when the company's high-attendance spring break season approaches. The ABC Television Network, the ABC owned and operated TV stations, and the ABC radio group, which had been experiencing rebounding advertising demand, now risk belt-tightening by advertisers, particularly during programs covering the conflict. The TV and radio stations' high margins magnify the effect of any revenue weakness.
Gross debt to EBITDA for the trailing 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2002, was 4.2 times, compared with the 3 times level Standard & Poor's views as appropriate for Disney at a 'BBB+' rating level. Including operating lease adjustments, securitization debt, Disney's obligations related to its 39%-owned Euro Disney parks, and contingent obligations, gross debt to EBITDA is 4.9 times.
Standard & Poor's will be monitoring the business environment and Disney management's response to difficult conditions, as well as its plans for debt reduction. Disney has strong asset flexibility and liquidity, despite nearly 50% of debt maturing in the next three years. The company has taken a number of cost-cutting and capital spending measures in the last two years. If the conflict is resolved shortly, advertising demand could still stabilize prior to the annual upfront advertising selling period for network TV and cable TV.

@cubbymoore we are the generation who are forced to pay for the baby boomers, but had all our money stolen/lost by generation x era bankers.
Yup, as a system that was based on exponential growth correlated with population growth it was always going to plateaux if people are going to live longer and not reproduce as much. It worked for about 30 years as the ratios worked out, but the ratios are gradually getting worse.
In China it's already a huge issue that they're sweeping under the carpet, if the 1 baby per couple still stays in effect that's going to be a third of the population looking after two thirds of the rest. Luckily we're not quite at that ratio, although at the moment we're on half of our benefits budget going on pensions.
@cubbymoore meanwhile those older people are still working part time jobs and keeping the younger generation who are supposed to pay for them out of work.
Bullshit stats
I don't think this'll surprise anyone but it's good to see someone calling them out on it.
I thought IDS had the right idea when he first started talking about this and producing some research, but it's all just turned into a nasty little hatchet job. Just as long as enough people lose out, it can be presented to the Daily Mail as a success story.
Heh. So much for open and transparent government.
The difference here I think is the intent. iDS and co are deliberately lying and manipulating over the long term in order to destroy social care.
How would you even go about counting the economically inactive people?
TheSaint wrote:Well they've still got NI numbers (presumably). So there must be a way to count the number of NI numbers belonging to people of working age that aren't either taking money out or paying in to the system. Sure there would be a margin of error, but it would at least give a rough idea.

It's a true picture though. It's a sad thing but in purely economic terms the old are a real problem for growth. With the diminishing production of child units and the increase in the length of retirees living our economy will eventually grind to a halt. At least under the current methodology anyway. It will all stagnate and then everyone will fuck off to where the money and jobs are.
Logan's Run had the right idea.
You mean sex on demand?
That too.
Just had an email fromt 38 Degrees that made me laugh:
"Sadly our environment minister, Owen Paterson, voted against the ban. But enough other countries voted in favour and the vote was won.
38 Degrees members have been working hard to protect our bees. Here are some of the highlights:
- Over 300,000 of us signed the petition to ban these pesticides [2]
- Over 40,000 of us emailed our MPs
- In the environment minister's constituency, in North Shropshire, over 50 local 38 Degrees members came face to face with him to deliver the petition and demand he changed his mind.
- Hundreds of 38 Degrees members joined up with a host of other campaign organisations to hold a 'March of the Beekeepers' in Parliament square."
Nice example of democracy there where all those members petitioned him and he just ignored them anyway, presumably due to pressure from the chemical industry. Woo democracy!

Was to bee expected, tbh. Doesn't matter how much buzz you generate, you could generate a whole hive of local activity; and they still won't listen honey!
Edited by imamazed at 15:26:14 30-04-2013
A stinging critique there
@Mr_Sleep Doing what pressure groups want is not democracy. Why should the government take action based on a very small vocal minority of the electorate?
Maybe I hate bees and my way of showing this was not to sign a petition or write a letter to my MP?
Just because people can be bothered to get off their arse and get uppity about something is no reason to do what they say. Who is going to protect the rights of the apathetic majority?
In actual fact I don't hate bees and I probably agree with the general aims of the campaign but if the government does change policy based on the actions of pressure groups it's not democratic it's the tyranny of listening to a loud minority.
Another good example of this would be the fact that over 1mil people marched in Paris against gay marriage, so should that have been rejected as well?
Where do we draw the line?
Edited by TheSaint at 16:50:42 30-04-2013
I would say we draw the line at the point where law and order breaks down due to the numbers protesting.
We have a democratic process don't we where we decide who we want to represent us in government decisions? I mean it's shit but I prefer that to mob rule.
Why should we elect governments but also allow a system of rule by loud shouty people if they get enough critical mass? Though of course I guess ultimately that is what a revolution is so there is always that recourse in the face of major issues with our government. I am guessing that's never going to happen over most pressure group type issues though. The revolution of the bees could be pretty cool though.

In reality, we just choose one of two parties to run our country. They choose ministers for this and that and the other, who represent us. But they really only represent around one third of the electorate (I think it's around that number).
The choices and wishes of everyone else are entirely ignored.
Hmm. So Chris Grayling has come out and said (just before local elections, no less) that they will be making prison tougher. Sure, it will win votes and no politician wants to come across as "easy" on crime, but this approach simply doesn't work.
This always gets my back up. We have a reoffending rate of over 50% (the US is over 60% - and they have the fucking death penalty). THAT'S what we need to look at.
If prison worked as a deterrant, there wouldn't be any criminals - and a deterrant only works if all crime is premeditated and not committed in the heat of the moment.
Norway has what has been described as the most liberal prison on the planet (Bastoy island) and has the lowest rate of reoffending in Europe.

Prison isn't a deterrent at the moment for most criminals because the sentences aren't long enough. This is from the mouths of criminals I speak to both inside and outside. They are willing to take the risk knowing that its unlikely they will do more than a few months at most. Sentences of years are rare, and when they know they are facing such, they will beg and plead and do anything they can to avoid going.
The real issue is the lack of rehabilitation provisions available, and this again is often due to length of sentences. Rehabilitation on the outside rarely works as they are constantly surrounded by associates/family who will try to drag them back on a criminal path and provide too much temptation.
Inside, courses are available but require time to sign up for and complete. Someone given 6 months will be placed on a 3 month rehabilitation course, which seems sensible. The problem is though that there will likely be no space on that course for 3/4 months by which time they've probably left after serving half a sentence.
Longer sentences give people time to complete rehabilitation courses without distraction and they have time to get help to prepare them for life outside. Generally (not always) the people I deal with who get longer sentences (serve over a year) re-offend a lot less.
I'm afraid I can't back any of this up with links/stats etc. Its just what I learn from actually talking to the people effected.
Megapocalypse wrote:What about introducing a step-down system similar to that used for mental health patients being reintroduced to society after periods under Section? They'd need to stay in staffed house under supervision and with the same visiting rules as regular prison, but are reintroduced back into society in a controlled manner where they have limited exposure to any outside factors that could cause them to reoffend?
The real issue is the lack of rehabilitation provisions available, and this again is often due to length of sentences. Rehabilitation on the outside rarely works as they are constantly surrounded by associates/family who will try to drag them back on a criminal path and provide too much temptation.
With regards to shorter sentences, a lot of those people arguably shouldn't have been imprisoned in the first place (especially when people literally get away with murder in comparison). The guy who was imprisoned for nicking a bottle of mineral water during the London Riots always struck me as completely disproportionate, for example.

9/26/14: The Colorado Center for Biorefining and Biofuel (C2B2)/National Science Foundation REU Site Program is a 10-week summer program that involves collaborative research in biofuels and biorefining engineering including feedstock engineering, biological and thermochemical conversions, and process and product engineering. The center is a collaboration of the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado State University, Colorado School of Mines and the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. In addition to an independent research project, undergraduate program participants engage in weekly group seminars, unique site visits to each of the four partner institutions and social activities targeted to unite program participants in a cohesive cross-disciplinary research team.
Feedback is gathered from students throughout the REU program through surveys and interviews to keep track of student satisfaction and improve the program as needed. Student feedback from 2014 found a high level of research project engagement with 100% of post-survey participants finding their research project interesting, challenging, and in-line with expectations. One student commented on the exit interview, "I enjoyed being pushed out of my comfort zone. I come from a chemical engineering background and worked in a biochemistry and molecular biology lab so it was very cool to be able to learn a different science that I am less familiar with." REU students also felt like an integrated cohort across the four placement sites. All planned social activities were found valuable by at least 80% of students with the Clear Creek Rafting Trip reported as the most valuable integrative activity again this year.
Students also felt well trained and supported in the development of skill at research methods with 94% of students agreeing they gained significantly in this area. One student commented on the weekly research methods seminars, "The seminars were a great way to understand research from professionals." Another REU participant commented on support from mentors, "My mentor was very helpful. In the beginning he taught me the basic laboratory protocols either by himself or by pairing me with undergrads working in the lab. As I became more confident with the laboratory procedures- he left me to do things on my own which was nice and makes me feel like I can truly take ownership of my work." Overall, the 2014 cohort reported positive experiences with REU project engagement, research training, and social support.

NSF REU Award C2B2 Receives National Science Foundation Grant for Student Research
Colorado Center for Biorefining and Biofuels has been awarded $336,534 over a three-year period from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for undergraduates to conduct research related to the conversion of biomass to fuels and chemicals. The grant will allow students to pursue research investigations in each of the six C2B2 thrust areas. The C2B2 REU program is a 10-week summer program of research, educational seminars, and cultural programming. Students will perform research in laboratories at the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU), Colorado State University (CSU), Colorado School of Mines (Mines) and the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). All features of the the C2B2 REU program were piloted during the 2008 and 2009 summer programs which served a combined 28 undergraduate researchers. One-time funding from the State of Colorado was secured for the trial versions of this program. "The success of our state-funded trial C2B2 REU programs enabled us to demonstrate the need for the National Science Foundation to invest in additional renewable energy research and education in Colorado" says Ryan Gill, managing director of C2B2. The number of undergraduate student applicants has quadrupled in the last three years of the C2B2-REU program showing a growing interest in renewable biofuel and biorefining technologies.

I think your hair looks beautiful in all three photographs! The reason *some* of us try to avoid frizz is we have a weak curl pattern, mine often looks just like I have dry
hair but stuck my finger in a light socket when I comb it through. Very occasionally a little like Diana Ross in the Chain Reaction video (LOVE it when it does that). I can still see the spirals in yours and it has a lovely round shape.

Just to give you guys a little back history, I'm by no means an expert. I recently got back from Iraq and bought my first pistol (first of many, haha) being that I was finally older than 21. I did a ton of research and finally settled on a sub-compact glock, the .40 was just my preference. Everyone seemed to wanna recommend holsters, and I kept hearing raven concealment was pretty much the top name in kydex. I was skeptical because of the weight, so my commander who's a gun guru told me to shoot Eugene an email because his holsters were just as good as ravens. Eugene was extremely helpful and I had my holster start to finish in just under a week. Here's a few pics.

Pros: Extremely light (as kydex should be), very sturdy, afforable, no waiting, great customer service all the way through the purchase, makes an audible "click" whenever holstering to let you know it's seated.
Cons: The only con I can even begin to fault the holster for is the retention is STRONG. You definently don't have to worry about it falling out, as it takes a really firm pull in order to unseat it. I assume over time it will break in, or I can man handle it a little, but too firm is much preferred over too loose.
Mine ran right at $50, but hit I assume prices vary depending on what you have done. Mine was customized from the cant, belt loop size, thickness of the kydex, and sweat shield. It seems they can cater to pretty much any request but don't quote me on that, haha.
EDIT- Sorry - I mispelled Cloak in the title. Here's the website if anyone is interested http://www.calsentllc.com/page04.html

We go through periods of time in our lives when the demands are greater and the stress load is heavier. Regardless of the reasons – illness, relationship difficulties, work struggles, caring for an aging parent or ailing child – there can be a physical impact. We may turn to food for comfort, or we may not nourish ourselves adequately. During times of stress there are actual physiological changes that happen in our bodies, one of which is weight gain. It may not happen overnight, but if we do not pay attention to our body's needs, over time we may notice we are putting on the pounds.
Our adrenal glands govern our stress response, by secreting hormones relative to our stress levels. They actually help control many hormonal cycles and functions in our body. When the adrenal glands are overworked, the body prepares for disaster, by storing fat and calories. We crave foods, we lose precious energy, and we gain weight. So how can we keep the heavier stress load from equaling heavier bodies?
How stress becomes physical
For millions of years, humans were forced to protect themselves from environmental factors. From the earliest days of dinosaurs and cavemen, nature has proven its ability to put fear in human beings. Life and death circumstances have evolved around the ability to understand danger, and seek protection and survival. If you were being chased by a predator, your adrenal glands initiated a "fight or flight" response, releasing adrenaline and cortisol into the body. These hormones provided extra physical energy and strength from stored carbohydrates and fats.
While most of our stressors are not the same a our earliest ancestors, the body's natural course of evolution has maintained this original fight-or-flight stress response. But whether we are being physically threatened or not, with any increased stress our body looks to its stored fuel, and then replenishes it when used. Also, with increased levels of cortisol, our body also does not respond as well to leptin, the hormone that makes us feel full, so we eat more.
Modern-day stress may be more psychological than physiological, but it is also more constant. Many of us face chronic stress as a way of life, which means we have consistently elevated levels of cortisol. Now the body thinks it continually needs extra fuel, and typically stores that as fat around the abdomen, or as it's commonly referred to, the old "spare tire."
Belly fat: a common sign of adrenal fatigue
Adrenal imbalance causes a number of issues, including an expanded waistline. The science behind it is quite interesting. Normally when we feel begin to feel hungry, our blood sugar drops and the brain sends a message to the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Cortisol activates glucose, fats, and amino acids to keep our body fueled with energy until we eat. Cortisol maintains blood sugar levels, and insulin helps our cells absorb glucose. When we have longterm stress, both insulin and cortisol remain elevated in the blood, and the extra glucose is stored as fat–mostly in the abdomen.
Here's where it gets interesting. Scientists have discovered that fat cells actually have special receptors for the stress hormone cortisol, and there are more of these receptors in our abdominal fat cells than anywhere else in our bodies! In addition, scientists have shown that belly fat is actually an active tissue, acting as an endocrine organ that responds to the stress response by actually welcoming more fat to be deposited! This is an ongoing cycle until we take steps to correct this adrenal imbalance. How do we do that?

Shift gate?
I have an 85 Jag XJS with a 350 chev. and a t350 trans. which I am converting to 700r4. Would anyone know how to convert a t350 shift gate to a 700r4? I would like to stay with the Jag type shifter (if I can) I also need an indicator plate. Don't want much do I? Any help would be great.
Call Jag that run, Suncoast or John's Jaguars in Dallas. All can be found web searching.
I tried Johns but they couldn't help (the conversion is actually there's) and Jags that runs site is down but thanks for the help.
I was surfing the web looking for a shift gate and low and behold I got on Johns cars web page and read that the t350 shifter will work except you (me) have to grind out a notch in the shift gate to allow it to go into low and stay. I only got this same book six mo. ago. You would think a fellow would learn that when all else fails (read the da___ed directions again, and again and again). :spank:

This is one of those years when I wonder why I even bother to make cookies around the holidays. Don't get me wrong, I love cookies. And I love to give people treats. The problem is my inability to plan ahead. I devoted my entire weekend to making holiday goodies. And as I stood in my kitchen Sunday evening sipping a glass of wine and gazing at an endless line of cookies and piles of peppermint patties and cowtales, my sense of accomplishment was suddenly eclipsed by one question: What the heck am I going to put all these things in?! Stuffing some cookies in a ziploc bag might cut it at any other time of year, but this is December, and nothing less than fancy will do!
That's why next year, I'm sticking to candy. It has a longer shelf-life, it's cute, and it's pretty impressive! And maybe it's just my sweet tooth talking, but after trying the peppermint patties and cowtales then moving on to the cookies, my initial reaction was, "hmmm, these are good, but I think I'd like them more if they were CANDY."
So, it's Wednesday, and things have finally made their way into pretty boxes, the postal system, friends' tummies, etc. But I've got a ton of leftovers, and I'd like to give some away! Leave a comment telling me what holiday treats you made, received, or just plain love by midnight on Friday. I will announce the three randomly-chosen winners Saturday afternoon on Facebook, followed by a post Sunday morning. And for those of you who'd like to make your own peppermint patties, the recipe is below. You can find the cow tales recipe on Sprinkle Bakes. (Heather has beautiful pictures of both the making-of and the end result!)
A note to the lucky winners: You will probably want to keep these refrigerated if you aren't going to eat them right away. Most peppermint patty recipes you find will call for corn syrup, confectionery sugar, and water. I prefer the creaminess that using condensed milk adds, but that means that there is dairy in these. I'm not sure how quickly they'd spoil at room temp, but better to err on the side of caution. As for the cow tales, I began making them and realized I had no vegetable shortening, and substituted butter instead. Delicious, but also dairy!
Homemade Peppermint Patties
(adapted from Allrecipes)
yield: approximately 28 large (2½-inch) or 40 smaller (1½-inch) patties
- 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tsp peppermint extract
- 4–5 cups of confectionery sugar (I used a little under 5)
- 24 oz. of dark, high-quality chocolate (I used only 21 oz. and it was barely enough)
- a handful of soft peppermint candies, crushed
Combine the condensed milk and peppermint extract in a large mixing bowl. Beat in the confectionery sugar until the mixture is stiff and no longer sticky.
Form into balls and place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Flatten with the bottom of something smooth (like a glass).
Allow the patties to dry out at room temperature for about 2 hours. If they still feel a little soft after 2 hours, pop them in the fridge so they'll stiffen up and be easier to dip in the chocolate.
To temper the chocolate:
Roughly chop chocolate, then place around a little bit less than 2/3 of it in the top pan of a double boiler. Stir occasionally with a silicon spatula until the chocolate has completely melted and reached 115°, then remove from heat.
Stir in the remaining chocolate, making sure all of it dissolves. Continue stirring until the temperature of the chocolate is between 91°–88°.
Dip patties in chocolate and place on wax paper. Immediately sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies on top.
Give the candies about an hour to set, then dig in!

Iredell Co. Animal Shelter makes changes after dogs euthanized
by: Peter Daut Updated:
IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. - The Iredell County Animal Shelter is making major protocol changes after more than 20 dogs were euthanized. Several showed signs of distemper, a contagious and often deadly neurological disease.
"It's very sad. Any time you have euthanize a dog, it's sad," shelter director Chris Royal said.
But Susan Boyle with Lake Norman's Animal Rescue said the shelter should have vaccinated the dogs for distemper as soon as they arrived, instead of waiting for them to get adopted. She said seven people were reimbursed their adoption fees, after their new pets had to be put down.
"I'm more saddened by the heartbreak of people in the community that had to spend money on dogs that there was no way to save," Boyle said.
Eyewitness News took a tour of the facility, which Royal said has been disinfected to eradicate any trace of the disease, which she believes spread through the air.
She's not exactly sure how the virus got into the shelter, but from now on, every dog that arrives will be immediately vaccinated. The change will cost Iredell County about $1,200 a year.

Someday, when we buy a new car, I will be strongly advocating for the purchase of WeatherTech floor mats. I don't know if you've seen them advertised on TV, but they look pretty spectacular. Spill your coffee? No problem. Drop an ice cream cone? Don't think twice.
If you click here you can see pictures of all the things these mats can protect your car from, but I personally think they forgot one.
This is a picture of me and my dad cleaning out the car from a piddle accident sans aforementioned fabulous mats. I've wanted them in the past . . . but not more than I did today. I think WeatherTech is missing out on a huge niche market. Just saying . . .
In other news . . .
Special thanks to Nichelle at Vintage Wanna Bee for letting me guest post my Easy Birthday Banner and the girls at How Did We Meet for featuring the first installment of Mike and I's love story.

I'm always always always refilling my bathroom soap dispenser. We buy the jumbo soft-soap from Costco, but we still run through it pretty quickly. Love this post from The Hosanna Hill Project on DIY Foaming Soap Refills. The soap's still going to run out, but it's roughly a 1/3 cheaper now ;).
Moms of daughters will benefit from this post at Femina by Rachel Jankovic. If you like it, check out her book, which was super influential for my personal take on the whole of parenting.
And not to leave out moms of boys. . . my friend Leah recommended this fabulous blog called MOB Society to me. I subscribed almost immediately and was really inspired by two recent posts Loving the Process and It Matters.
My friend Mindy forwarded me this video on the creative process [as understood by Ira Glass]. Anyone who attempts to live life in the creative lane should watch and be encouraged.
A dear friend of my sister-in-law (who designed keepsake name frames for both our boys) was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. She's also pregnant with her fourth child. Her mom posted A Mother's Prayer for Susie's Birthday on their family's blog for her birthday. Moved to tears . . . and reminded to keep praying for a miracle.
I've told you before how much I love Jon Acuff's blog, but two recent posts have really caught my attention. Does the world need your dream? Yes. And for all you aspiring writers out there How to find your writing voice.
Happy Tuesday!

- //Micah P. Hinson
Micah Hinson has lived a lot of life in a short time. He's poured every feeling of heartbreak, loss, and isolation into the 13 songs on his debut record, providing plenty of that holy trinity of confessional singer/songwriting in spades. The back-story goes like this: Hinson and his family move to Abilene, Texas, where Hinson becomes a regular in the local music scene. In comes a Vogue cover model and widow of a notable local rock star who sweeps Hinson off his feet and into a world of prescription drugs. It's not long before Hinson is caught forging prescriptions for his "muse", who soon becomes his "black widow". Hinson ends up in county jail and loses car, home, family, money, instruments, and recording equipment. At age 19, Hinson finds himself homeless and broke, sleeping on friends' floors and barely getting by, before deciding to declare bankruptcy. To keep his head above water he secures a telemarketing job and moves into a motel. Despite—or perhaps because of—all this, Hinson still managed to write about 30 songs on borrowed instruments and equipment during this period. In 2003, Hinson got together with the Earlies, friends from his Texas days, to put some of those 30 songs written during his lost period to tape. The result is his debut album, And the Gospel of Progress
There's always a caution sign with highly confessional albums. If poorly executed, a certain degree of pity is engendered in the listener. Pity, as with sports, is not an emotion that goes well with music. A well-written song, if I may take a moment to state the obvious (and no one's ever stopped me before), asks the reader to inhabit the songwriter's state of mind, to become him or her for 3 or 4 minutes. If you take my little hypothesis at face value then you probably agree that a well-done break-up album is one of the great listening pleasures. Think about Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, Richard Buckner's Devotion and Doubt, Joni Mitchell's Blue, and how they make you feel. Those records vary from Joni Mitchell's "emotionally transparent" songwriting, to the cloaked in riddle lyrics of Dylan, to the creation of a personal vocabulary unique to Buckner's songs. Each is unique; each voice (lyrically and vocally) is diverse within the context of the album. This is heady stuff, and a high bar to aspire to. Hinson deserves some accolades just for trying to put his intensely personal experiences out there for us to hear. If nothing else, And the Gospel of Progress is a brave record.
Micah P. Hinson
And the Gospel of Progress
US: 12 Apr 2005
UK: 6 Sep 2004
It must sound like I'm setting Hinson up for the big "but". You know, great songs, BUT compared to what's gone before or, a well meaning record, BUT ultimately falling short of the lofty goal to which he aspires or, a good go, BUT not quite there. Well, I suppose I am to a certain degree. And the Gospel of Progress is a fine album. There are tremendously affecting songs here. "Don't You Forget (Parts One and Two)" is as touching and well-written a song as you're likely to hear this year. Hinson has a gruff, weathered voice that's not traditionally beautiful, but makes him sound much older than he is, and he uses that to his full advantage. When he sings a line like, "There are things I've said, that don't mean a thing anyway", Hinson is able to imbue the simple statement with both a world weariness and the youthfully foolish belief that something said could ever be taken back once it's reached the right (or wrong) ears. But there's a certain unwavering tone to this album that becomes oppressive at times. Part of it is the subject matter and part of it is Hinson's voice, which is neither traditionally beautiful nor as thick with character as, say, a Tom Waits. At other times, it's Hinson's lyrics that sink his songs. While "At Last, Our Promises" is musically engaging, it's hard not to squirm in your seat a bit when Hinson repeats ad nauseam "It's all my fault".
Musically, Hinson plays gently strummed ballads. His acoustic guitar is at the heart of every song. But in deciding to record with the Earlies, the songs become fleshed out with ringing keyboards, strings, lap steel, accordion, and some beautiful harmonies. The additional instrumentation is often very successful, as in the building swirl of psychedelic drone in "At Last, Our Promises". Yet some of the best songs remain the most simple. The lovely duet "I Still Remember" is two voices and Hinson's guitar until the final minute, when the song opens up with a percussive cello line and drums. The first half of that song is so affecting simply because Hinson's lyrics are often best served when minimally adorned.
Hinson is essentially celebrating, accusing, and cursing his muse all within the course of And the Gospel of Progress's 13 songs. It's possible that 13 songs are too much for the sort of vision that Hinson is chasing, but it's a fine heartfelt effort that rewards as richly as it disappoints.

There were hints of defeatism in some of my postings last week, especially with regards to the low level of participation on some of my sites (this blog, An Inconvenient Renewal, Bottom-Up Renewal) and others as well.
Whenever I start taking myself a little too seriously (which can be expected when you are really passionate about something), I find relief in humour. As I was browsing through the new Despair's Demotivators over the weekend, I came across this one which I found hilarious and so a propos:
There's also a funny one about government if you are interested. Sometimes you just got to laugh at yourself!
By the way, these calendars make wonderful Christmas gifts! :-)
