With the exception of my husband and I binge-watching Breaking Bad (and thus losing some sleep) these last couple of weeks, my strategies so far have been pretty well executed. Last week I joined some ladies for a one hour hike through a local state park. I am Crossfitting 3-4 times per week and hot yoga-ing 3-4 times per week.
I am also eating crazy amounts of food. Way, way more carbs than I've ever eaten in previous challenges. Favoring starchy carbs over fruit because of their superiority as a muscle-building option. The nights before heavy training days (lots of weights, or maybe a CrossFit WOD and a hot yoga class on the same day), I carb up.
What has that night-before carbing-up looked like? Well, one night recently, I knew we were doing deadlift one rep maxes the next morning. I had just done an 8 p.m. hot yoga class. Whereas I'd normally have eaten little or nothing between then and the next morning, I ate some chicken and TWO entire sweet potatoes. And...I hit a new PR at 280 lb. of my deadlift! My previous 1 rep PR was 255, so it not only was a PR, it was a big one. Suddenly a 300 lb. deadlift does not seem out of the realm of possibility. Another carbing-up night I mixed cooked buckwheat groats (these are allowed at the level I've chosen on the WLC) with egg whites, water, a banana, and 4 chopped dates. CARB CRAZY. But I set a new 3 rep tap'n'go max for my deadlift, at 245 lb. x 3!
|One day's worth of carbs. (Kidding!)
I am targeting 130-150 g of protein every day on average. My carbs start around 100g/day, and on calorie spike/"carb up" days, my carbs can go as high as 200+g, all from whole, gluten free foods that are permitted on my WLC level. My calories range from 1600 to 3000 daily, depending on activity levels.
|Prosciutto chips with half a sweet potato,
mashed. That's how my snacks are rolling
I recently weighed myself. I am officially down 6 lb. from the start of the challenge. At 4 weeks in, 6 lb. down, and setting PRs while holding decent metcon performances, I am thrilled with my progress...and can't truly believe that I'm making that kind of progress while still eating the amount of carbs I'm eating! Not only that, I can really see some differences -- our hot yoga class room has wall-to-wall mirrors, and sometimes while holding a pose I notice a muscle pop out that I have never in my life observed on myself! It doesn't mean I still don't have trouble spots where I'd like to lose more body fat, but I am excited to see new definition in my arms, shoulders, and thighs that has never been there before.
|This is a fellow challenger's supplies brought
to her hotel so that she could stay on track!
What perseverance! MY HERO!
Have you ever experimented with upping your carbs and calories in a bid to rev your metabolism, boost performance, and improve body composition? What was your experience like?


text: Franklin Pierce (1804-1869), the son of a onetime governor of New Hampshire, entered politics at a young age. He served as speaker of the state legislature before winning election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1833. After two terms in the House and one in the Senate, Pierce returned to practicing law, only to emerge in 1852 as the Democratic presidential candidate. During Pierce's administration (1853-1857), settlement was encouraged in the northwest region of the country, even as sectional tensions increased over the issue of slavery and its extension into new territories. The Kansas-Nebraska Act, which Pierce signed in 1854, enraged antislavery northerners and brought about the emergence of the new Republican Party. Pierce's inability to handle the upheaval in Kansas led to repudiation by many Democrats, who denied him the party's nomination in 1856.

Usually, when we think of GIFs we usually don't take it too seriously. Besides… the majority of them out there almost always include blinged-out text paired with unsightly some imagery. However, with the extreme popularity of Tumblr, GIF art has become the new and popular medium. Calgary, Canada's Rick Silva's has put his personal creativity into this art form; making sure to incorporate a balance between real-life landscape imagery and digital web geometry.

Dungeonate and Snuggify
Greetings Grammophiles!
The spring semester starts next week here at Purdue, so I have one more week to fool around until the "real work" begins again. As you may have heard, the Midwest was blasted with a series of blizzards, which led to a moderate case of cabin fever for everyone involved. With lots of down time and feverish complexions, my brother and I took to one of our favorite pastimes, tossing around new words in an effort to decorate our otherwise uneventful lives.
My brother noted that two of his college friends live in a basement. Whenever these two wordsmiths aren't studying or attending class, which apparently is most of the time, they spend their time relaxing down in the depths. In short, they "dungeonate." This sounds like a close relative of "marinate," one of the favorite expressions among my old soccer club mates. What are you up to today? Nothing, just a little dungeonatin' and marinatin'.
Even though it is vacation, my scholarly interests have not completely vanished, so I googled dungeonate to see what I could find. Incidentally, "to google" is one of the more famous "new" additions to the English language, named Word of the Year in 1998 by the New Oxford English Dictionary. Dungeonate, however, seems relatively unused, though one gamer posted that he will "be able to dungeonate" over the weekend (i.e. hang out in dungeons). For now, only college kids from Iowa spend their time dungeonating in basements.
The same, however, cannot be said for my latest creation, "Snuggify." Like any other good American who didn't know what to get his relatives for Christmas, I picked out a leopard-print Snuggie® for my brother (let me know if the Snuggie® craze has taken over other parts of the world yet). But saying "sitting around wearing my Snuggie®" is way too cumbersome; there had to be a better way to describe this most cabin feverish of actions. So, "snuggify" was born (def: to sit around in a Snuggie®), and from my googling, it seems like many other Americans have come up with the same idea, such as blogger Cassandra Lotus in "Snuggify Your Life".
As for what the scholars say, the word "snuggify" even appears in a 1972 article on "Latin-English Hybrids" in The Classical Journal! The author, J. D. Sadler, claims that "Latin can appear in English in every possible form of hybridization." Sadler includes "snuggify" in a list with "happify" and "typsify" as examples of Latinate hybrids that have not gained widespread acceptance. If only Dr. Sadler could have foreseen the cultural impact of the Snuggie®!
So, I'd like to hear what new words have worked their way into your vocabulary over the holidays or any other time for that matter. I especially want to hear from our friends Down Under. Good luck in the New Year and all the best.

Hi Brady
Thank you for this charming post. I will put my mind to 'new words' but I have to say that in Australia, nobody would be seen dead in a Snuggie (R) (especially at the football, cricket or any other places where there might be thug-like elements).
In Oz, the Snuggie is the antithesis of Haute Couture.
Temperatures are sizzling to around 100 degrees this week, which might mean that a Snuggie is not nearly as attractive to us, as to those in the Northern Hemisphere.

Hi there
I have heard the word 'betterness' used instead of 'improvement'- does that count? For example you could ask:
'Is it increasing in betterness?'
Anyway I think the English language is great for its capacity to take on new words and incorporate new meanings. It could be one of the reasons it is such a powerful force in the world today.
Its 'betterness' is improving!

Hi everyone
I'm in Adelaide too (and lived in the UK before that) and have to admit I didn't know what a Snuggie was until I googled it.
For other new words, how about one that's just appeared in the new Macquarie Dictionary and originated in the UK - nomophobia? It refers to the fear of not being in mobile/cell phone contact. Since I've just moved house and had no Internet for a while,I suddenly identified with the nomophobes and have come up with another two words - "webless" and "netophobia". What other suggestions could people make here? Perhaps we could coin a new word!

Hi there,
A message from downunder: Your 'marinate' reminds me of my son's energetic use of the word 'dehabilitation' as the opposite process to rehabilitation. This is a highly masculine adaptation.

As the 89 year old volunteer Editor of Massachusetts Patriot, the quarterly newsletter of the Massachusetts Life Care Residents Association (www.mlcra.com), published at Concord, Massachusetts, I propose a new word for the English Language. However, it is equally appropriate for all languages. May it become a second "Shot heard 'round the world."
Through the marketing ploy of "bundling," Comcast pressures viewers to buy TV programs in higher tiers. For example, sports channels are in the third and highest tier, and one must buy all three tiers in order to view them. This practice prompted a retired corporation lawyer to say, "Bundling is the most reprehensible, dishonest marketing device I have ever encountered. In order to see the channels you do want, it forces you to buy channels you don't want."
I propose that for all future time, the process of truncating our freedom of choice through "bundling" should be called "Comcastration."
- January 5, 2010 at 2:19 PM
- Brady Spangenberg said...
Nomophobia, dehabilitate, and comcastration are all excellent additions to the list. Thanks for all of these!
Dr. Strain, I have personally felt the "Comcastration" and can definitely empathize. They almost took away my beloved Iowa Hawkeyes and the Orange Bowl by holding it hostage in a contract negotiation.

For those of you who love weird and wonderful words, Richard Glover's "The Dag's Dictionary" is a great read (ABC Books). As you can probably guess by the title it is Australian, and contains such gems as 'eskyvate - to dig downwards in an esky in order to uncover the very last can of cold beer' and 'dresstitute - descriptive of a woman when she looks into her crowded wardrobe and realises she has nothing, absolutely nothing, to wear'. My absolute favourite though is 'poultrygeist - any scary man dressed up in a chicken suit'.
And Andrea - yes Snuggies are boganwear (new word! For our recent conditions, do you think anyone could invent 'coolies'?
- January 18, 2010 at 8:25 PM
- Andrea Duff said...
Hi Jeannine
I loved your suggestions. The esky, is an oztraaaaaalian term akin to the New Zealand 'Chilly Bin' which might solve the problems related to our heatwave.
I personally love the term 'Bogan' and use it liberally with my children.
'Don't wipe your ice cream bowl out with your fingers, it's so BOGAN, Julia!' or 'Don't drop your 'h's' - it sounds so BOGAN'.
The use of the term makes me slightly ashamed, because it goes against my egalitarian principles.
Here is a wonderful site which I entreat you to spend a few minutes perusing. It will give you a rare insight into the football and mullet culture of the Aussie Bogan.
Is the term used by our friends in the US? Do you have an equivalent term?
- January 21, 2010 at 2:04 PM
I am an American living "down under." All those Aussies who said that Snuggies are boganwear... do you own a fleece blanket? That's all these things are - blankets with armholes. I actually know a number of people who like theirs. The Snuggies themselves are not bogan. It's how you buy them (TV infomercials). And it's not 100 degrees year-round. Winters with no central heating are actually pretty backward in my opinion.
- February 2, 2010 at 7:34 PM
- Trevor said...
First time on your blog and I cannot tell if the 'mistakes' in Dungeonate and Snuggify are intended: 'cabin fever everyone involved' lacks a word. 'down time' is one word. 'past times' would be pastimes. 'non-eventful' is uneventful. That's why I bring it up. A few mistakes in the first paragraph seem like a planted quiz. Anyway, I like your blog and keep it up. Cheers. :)

explaining why the First fleet is so important to me
4 comments:
This sounds like a really interesting book. I love history and prisoners going to Australia is not something I've studied (I suppose because I'm American) but would like to read about.ReplyDelete
Australia wore the stigma of being settled by convicts until late in the 20th century when we all got proud of our beginnings and went looking for convicts in our family trees,ReplyDelete
What an interesting subject for a book! It must have been a very frightening time and situation, not only for the prisoners but the many others who came with them - soldiers, sailors etc. Fascinating. Good luck with it.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the good wishes. it is languishing with an educational publisher at the moment as I have been too busy to do anything more about it but if nothing has happened by Christmas I am seriously considering epublishing it under my Eureka House Label. I have held off doing this so far as I am unsure about the marketing for children and schools. I am doing a seminar on the subject run by the Australian Society of Authors next week so perhaps I'll feel more confident about going ahead with publishing it then. I feel that although it is a novel of 25000 words it will need some line drawings or other illustrations to give it a boost.ReplyDelete

Scrapie is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) affecting sheep and goats. The presence of classical scrapie in the U.S. sheep and goat population affects industry economically through production losses, lost exports, and increased production and disposal costs. Public health concerns related to the transmission of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) to humans have resulted in efforts to eradicate all TSEs in food-producing animals.
Surveillance for scrapie in the United States is conducted through the National Scrapie Eradication Program (NSEP), a cooperative State-Federal-industry program. The surveillance components of the NSEP include:
The program's goals are to eradicate classical scrapie from the United States and to meet World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) criteria for disease freedom. Since 2002, the prevalence of scrapie has decreased significantly through existing eradication efforts, largely a result of effective slaughter surveillance.
Since slaughter surveillance stared in FY 2003, the percent of cull sheep found positive at slaughter (once adjusted for face color) has decreased 99 percent. However, in order to declare the U.S. "scrapie free", we must be able to prove to the world that we have conducted testing in all sheep and goat populations. This is why your submission of samples from sheep/goats over 18 months of age found dead or euthanized on your farm is extremely important. Without your help, we will not be able to declare the US free of scrapie, costing the sheep and goat industries approximately $10 to $20 million, annually.

The Comment Period for a Proposed Rule to Update Scrapie Program Regulations Has Closed
On September 10, 2015 APHIS published a proposed rule in the Federal Register to amend the regulations for the National Scrapie Eradication Program. The comment period closed December 9, 2015. The Final Rule is being drafted. APHIS believes the update to the program will result in a more effective disease eradication program, with a more flexible approach to disease investigations and affected flock management and more consistent animal identification and recordkeeping requirements.

Tomorrow is the first day of BlackBerry DevCon Americas 2011. A year ago, at BlackBerry DevCon 2010, RIM released our first RIM-sponsored Open Source project, the BlackBerry® WebWorks™ runtime for BlackBerry smartphone OS at GitHub using ASL2. At that time we promised additional releases… and we followed through. Today we have 8 web-related repositories in the web space:
- Two runtimes: BlackBerry WebWorks for BlackBerry smartphone OS and the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet
- Corresponding API Documentation for each runtime
- A growing number of Code Samples, including the code for Aura, the BlackBerry WebWorks based demo shown at BlackBerry Developer Day at this year's Mobile World Congress
- Alice, a micro-library focusing on fancy visual effects using CSS3 2D and 3D facilities – to see it in action, point your modern browser to the demo page
- A community owned repository containing JavaScript Extensions for BlackBerry WebWorks
- Two repositories for our Ripple Emulator: one for the UI, and one for the Framework.
Open Source is changing how we interact with the BlackBerry WebWorks community in many ways, including:
- The samples are now directly usable, with a clear, well-known (ASL2) license, and in a location we can update easily – our plan is to take all existing useful samples, currently in places like Knowledge Base articles, mail threads, forums, or posts, and post them as Open Source.
- When we wanted to add BlackBerry WebWorks support to Nitobi PhoneGap, Ken and the team travelled to Vancouver and leveraged that both projects are open source. This is especially useful to us now that Nitobi is contributing PhoneGap to start incubating Apache CallBack.
- When Laurent and Jim want to add new features to Alice, they can change the repository directly… and the demos are available right then. And all the GitHub features are available from Fork-me to Watchers.
- Tim, Ken and the team can make new experimental features available via the BlackBerry WebWorks Community APIs
- And we can have a continuous release for both the runtimes and the tools. You can even check our Roadmap.
Year two is just beginning and we will continue our commitment to providing more source code to the community, contributing to other OSS projects as well as a focus on performing our daily development in the open.
Do you believe that support for open source projects is important? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Billings Shooting Leaves One Dead, Suspect Arrested
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - Police have arrested a Billings man after an early morning shooting that left another man dead.
The Billings Gazette reports 41-year-old David Isaacson was arrested on suspicion of deliberate homicide in Tuesday's killing of 34-year-old Sabah Mallak.
Police say the men knew each other. It was not immediately clear what led to the shooting.
Authorities responding to reports of gunshots just before 1 a.m. found Mallak's body on the street outside a home in a Billings Heights neighborhood.
Nearby, a car had crashed through a fence and was in the front yard of the home. A pickup truck in an alley a half-block away was cordoned off with crime-scene tape.
The Billings Fire Department's rope and rescue team found a gun 30 feet down an embankment across the road.

SAN JOSE, Calif. --A vehicle on southbound Interstate Highway 280 fatally struck a male pedestrian late Friday night, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Shortly after 11 p.m. the CHP received a call reporting that an automobile had struck a person on southbound I-280, just north of State Highway 87.
Officers responded to the scene of the collision and located the pedestrian and the involved vehicle on the right hand shoulder of the roadway.
Emergency crews pronounced the pedestrian, an unidentified male in his 30s, deceased at the scene.
The two right lanes of southbound I-280 were closed for the investigation and all lanes were reopened shortly before 1:30 a.m. this morning, according to the CHP.

Shutterstock Inc.\'s initial public offering jumped 30% to trade at $22 a share in a warm welcome from Wall Street on Thursday.
Jonathan Oringer, 38, founder and chief executive of the commercial photo market place, said prospective investors had questioned the potential for growth given the role of established players like Getty Images and others.
\"They were concerned about the addressable market,\" he said in a phone interview. \"I explained that we have 500,000 customers and there are 70 million small businesses in the world. They need images to sell their products and services. With the increasing consumption of content in the world, more and more businesses are going to need these images. I was framing the addressable market to potential investors and I think we did a good job.\"
In a sign of strength in the deal, Shutterstock priced its IPO at $17 a share, above the estimated price range of $13-$15 a share. With 4.5 million shares in the IPO, the New York-based firm raised $77 million with underwriter Morgan Stanley . With 32.8 million shares outstanding, the company\'s market cap weighs in at $721 million based on its recent trading price of $22 a share.
Shutterstock works closely with its a growing stable of photographers, videographers, illustrators and designers to maintain a market for royalty-free imagery. The company adds tens of thousands of rights-cleared images per week and has surpassed 250-million image downloads.

Coach Kristin Lusk commented, "We played UT Martin better in every singles match than we did this fall. It definitely shows improvement on our part and the girls competed well," she said.
Possibly the highlight of the night were the three tiebreaker matches in the singles area.
"We had three matches that went into third set tiebreakers and we lost all three - that just happens sometimes in tennis. We had our chances in every match, but UT Martin played really tough. I think the girls can take a lot of good things away from this match as we head to Western Kentucky this Friday."
The Lady Bisons will travel to Western Kentucky this Friday, February 15th.

Japanese dinner party
Back in mid-July we had a small Japanese dinner party at our place, attended by some of our Estonian friends and an American couple residing in Tallinn, nine adults in total.
We had a mix of Japanese dishes - no sushi, however - and everybody seemed to like the food. Somehow I never got around to sharing the photos from that night until now. I do not intend to blog about each and every dish on the table that night - I am no expert in Japanese cooking, and there are many bloggers out there who'd have much more authentic recipes to share - but if there's a particular dish that interests you, let me know in the comments.
We tried to have five different colours on the table - black/purple, white, red/orange, yellow and green; as well as five cooking methods (boiling, grilling, deep-frying, steaming and raw); and five flavours (sweet, salty, spicy, sour, bitter). Below is a "photo reportage" of the dishes we served and enjoyed that night.
A selection of Japanese crackers, sent over from Tokyo by my friend Ryoko.
Spanish mackerel sashimi with dried miso from Nobu Matsuhisa & Mark Edwards' book NOBU WEST:
Nasu dengaku or grilled aubergine/eggplant slices with miso paste and sesame seeds. I used a mix of hacho-miso and shiro-miso, and this dish was one of my favourites! It's impossible to get thin Japanese aubergines/eggplants here in Estonia, so I used a regular purple aubergine. (If I can get hold of seeds for the Japanese aubergines, I might try growing them in my new greenhouse next year :))
I couldn't get frozen edamame pods any more, only shelled ones. So instead of serving steamed edamame pods, I boiled some soy beans, drained them and dressed them with some ume plum vinegar, soy sauce and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds:
Chicken and leek yakitori skewers, a popular and well-known Japanese dish:
Another Japanese classic, tempura. We battered and deep-fried fresh chantarelles, sugarsnap pea pods and calamari rings:
Pieces of salmon marinating in teriyaki sauce. Home-made, of course!
The curiosity dessert :) I wanted to make something with matcha, the green tea powder. Matcha ice cream would have been an obvious choice, but I already had some home-made cherry ice cream sitting in the freezer. Instead I made matcha jelly, served with red azuki bean paste, from Harumi Kurihara's "Harumi's Japanese Cooking". It was definitely, umm, interesting. Not bad, but the taste and texture were really unusual, and best served in very small portions to the Estonian (and American) palate. Massimo, the 11-month old son of our American guests, really enjoyed the bitter-sweet concoction, however.

Packers have interest in Jennings, Jackson
Submitted: 03/13/2013
- Greg Jennings Tweeted one word Wednesday. "Patience." That's something he seems to have. Apparantly the Packers do too.A report on N-F-L.com says the Packers offered Jennings 10-million bucks per year.The report says that offer happened "a while ago." Minnesota Vikings were thought to be in the Jennings hunt. But a Twin Cities report says the team won't chase him if the price is too high. A victim of sorts in this is Packers tight end Jermichael Finley. Green Bay has told Finley he is on the roster and has not been asked to take a pay-cut. That could change if Jennings signs. Add to that the Bears, St. Louis, and Tennessee signed tight ends Tuesday. That eliminates several of Finley's options away from Green Bay.Late Wednesday night, N-F-L.com reports the Packers and Rams RB Steven Jackson are talking about a 3-year deal. The story goes on to say the talks doesn't mean a deal will be done. However there is some interest.

About 2 weeks ago, I met a prospect who felt like he knew "everything†…unfortunately for him, prior to our meeting, he wasn't totally aware of his legal nor ethical ways of enforcing his rights nor obligation as a creditor.
He and I investigated his needs for debt recovery, and so far ("touch woodâ€) this particular product/ service was not needed at this time. But it will surface, one day. Watch this space.
However, with a closer deeper look at his 6 lines of Terms and Conditions it became very evident that this "home made†attempt was ridiculously put together. He felt assured whilst relived that with our ECCC Solicitor Approved Terms & Conditions in place and laid out professionally, his body language suggested a job well done, after both he and I were able to navigate through our multiple choose Terms of Trade Drafting Instructions questionnaire. He also could see "value for money†when I recommended the "investment†required for such an important tool in his debtor journal file.
Information is a powerful things …BUT "knowledgeable information†is even more powerful, and gives not just our client the debtor informed legal knowledge of what our client can, can't, needs and has, but also the legal right how to enforce, and what to do, to achieve a positive outcome from all our ECCC work, expertise and behind the scenes staff input that is vital in the reassurance of our work and implementation/s, when explained in a way the prospect can understand and relate to.
Debt Recovery is all well and good, but having the signed Legal Binding Terms & Conditions documentation in place, allows our client/s and the ECCC collectors the correct ammunition to do their work effectively and efficiently …BY LAW.

Mediterranean Diet Cuts Heart Risks by 30%
Until now, evidence was weak that the Mediterranean diet reduced the risk of heart disease. But a New England Journal of Medicine study reveals startling new findings that will silence skeptics for good. WSJ's Andrea Petersen has the details on Lunch Break. Photo: AP.

You know all of that stressing, negotiating, and pondering you've been doing to pick out just the perfect baby name. Well, relax. If you don't like it, you can always change it down the line. Or at least that's what more and more parents seem to be doing when they get a big case of baby name regret.
We've known for awhile that plenty of parents end up disliking the baby name they once chose. It's not surprising I suppose, as we change our minds about all sorts of things. And when the name you thought was so unique is suddenly everywhere, or you meet a horrible person with the same name and can't shake the association, it can happen. Most people get over it, while other people just change their kid's name. Oh yes, it's happening -- more than you might think.
Some people do it via "common usage," which means calling a child by another name. I've actually known several people who have done that either with nicknames or by using a middle name as the first name when the originally intended name just didn't seem to fit. But others go the full legal route. It's not easy and will usually need to involve an attorney and some fees you'll have to pay, but it can be done if you're determined.
More from The Stir: 11 Crazy Things I Did During Labor
I don't have stats for the United States, but according to an article in the Daily Record, in Scotland the number of people changing their first name is going up. Last year 3,221 first names were changed, including those of 311 children under age 2 and 1,129 under the age of 16. That's a lot of name changes.
While I suppose it's not the worst thing you can do, it does seem like an easy way out. A name is something we bestow on our children with the intention that it will be for life. To change it just seems fickle, and like a trend packed with problems. If you do it once, what's to stop you from changing your mind again? What about when your kid starts piping up and asking for another?
Names are supposed to be permanent. They're what identify us, and people come to know us by. But they're also just names, and there are a lot more important parenting issues to worry about than to spend time trying to perfect your child's name after the fact. Parents should put extra thought into them in the beginning and be prepared to live with them for life.
Would you ever consider changing your child's name? Do you think it's a good idea for parents to do so?

FSU Knocks Off #1 Duke AgainPosted by nvr1983 on January 12th, 2011
For the third time in nine years, FSU has knocked off a top-ranked Duke team that came to Tallahassee as the heavy favorites. Unlike 2002 when an undefeated Duke team led by Jason Williams, Mike Dunleavy Jr., and Carlos Boozer lost to a Seminole team that had lost to American just a few weeks earlier, or 2006 when a 27-1 Duke team led by J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams lost to a mediocre Seminole squad, this FSU team has the potential to be a solid team despite what their loss to Auburn last week might indicate.
While most of the media will point to poor shooting nights by Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith and bemoan the continued absence of Kyrie Irving, when Coach K addresses his team his primary focus should be on the Blue Devils' complete lack of production on the inside. As Luke Winn astutely pointed out a month ago when Irving first went down, the distribution of the ball would change significantly, but even he failed to predict the precipitous decline in production that we are seeing from Mason Plumlee, who has only scored more than four points once in eight games since Irving was injured. The Blue Devils had so little on the inside tonight that they ended up taking 35 out of their 61 shots (57%) from beyond the arc, which would appear to indicate either a lack of a presence or confidence on the inside. To be fair to Plumlee, he was productive on the glass, grabbing 14 rebounds, and FSU is very tough to play against down low (ask Jared Sullinger who "only" had 11 points and 13 rebounds earlier this year). Still, Duke needs him to step up and become a presence on the inside like he was earlier in the season (25 points and 12 rebounds against Marquette) if they expect to compete with Ohio State with Jared Sullinger or Kansas with Marcus and Markieff Morris while they wait/pray for Irving to come back.
Having said that, we need to congratulate Leonard Hamilton and the Seminoles. Derwin Kitchen was a load on the inside today, putting up 22 points and pulling 10 rebounds while Chris Singleton added 18 points to go along with his usual outstanding defense. We also want to tip our hats to their fans for a solid RTC at the end that was performed safely but effectively and in an appropriate setting. While we wait on video of tonight's RTC to appear on the Internet we recommend you check out the last 20.5 seconds of FSU's upset of Duke in 2002.

Sales Tax Revenue, Construction & Employment Reports Show Positive Trends
Lincoln Mayor Don Wesely today said a record-setting year in construction investment along with the latest reports showing increasing sales in the City and rising employment point to a strengthening local economy.
Wesely released the latest monthly sales tax revenue report for the City showing a 31 percent increase in net collections over the same month last year. The increase is $386,000 more than the projections for September and is $993,802 above last year's collection for the same period. Gross sales tax collections were 10.3 percent higher than the same month last year. The figures reflect July sales, which are reported to the state in August and received by the City in September. Sales tax revenues provide 42 percent of the City's tax- supported budget. Wesely said the fewer business refunds contributed to the large increase in net sales tax revenue to the city.
"This is great news for the first month of the City's new fiscal year," said Mayor Wesely. "It is especially encouraging because this is the fourth consecutive month of growth in the gross and net sales tax revenues. The sales tax report along with the record $508 million value of building permits are good signs of a strengthening economy in Lincoln. Lincoln's economy is recovering and growing." he added.
The City's fiscal year end construction activity report shows the value of building permits issued exceeded $500 million for the first time in the city's history. The report covers the value of construction permits in Lincoln from September 1, 2001 to August 31, 2002. The amount is 13.5 percent higher than the previous year. The report compiled by the Building and Safety Department shows that the number of building permits issued for period increased 3.3 percent above the previous year. The City issued 4,420 building permits in the fiscal year that ended on August 31.
The Mayor also pointed to a Nebraska Department of Labor report which states that the number of employed persons in the County increased 1,619 from 143,133 in July 2001 to 144,752 in July 2002. The increased number of people working is a sign that the employment base is growing.
Companies that have announced additional jobs this year include Kawasaki, Garner Industries, Burlington Northern, Cabela's and Transactional Application Group. According to the state labor market information, employment increases were recorded in finance, insurance, real estate, retail and wholesale trade sectors.
"The City, County, State, LES, the Partnership for Economic Development and the private sector have been working well together in Lincoln," Wesely said. "We are working hard to add and retain jobs in Lincoln. We are pleased to see the economic progress being made."

The mission of the Chadron State College Teacher Education program, founded on educating Visionary Leaders, is to prepare candidates to use current pedagogical methods that impact student learning in the candidate's respective content area of study. Candidates will gain applicable knowledge and skills in the area of assessment, curriculum, guidance, diversity education, classroom management, professional issues, special education, psychology, literacy and instructional technology as part of this program.
Education in a democracy is accepted as the most important human activity for the maintenance, perpetuation, and advancement of the society. The Education Unit of Chadron State College is dedicated to the development of visionary leaders. The program recognizes the institutional responsibility of developing leadership that promotes collaborative engagement and advocacy to influence policy development to serve all constituents in our profession. The faculty within the Education Unit act upon a set of common beliefs that reflect the importance placed upon the preparation of qualified professional educators who will assume leadership roles within the local education community and the education profession at large.
Students within the Education Unit are valued as unique individual learners, each wanting to learn and also capable of making good learning decisions. Each student is a client to be served by the staff of CSC and in turn the student (Teacher Candidate) will serve others after graduation in their role as an educator.
We believe the educator's role is to facilitate learning. The facilitation of learning is accomplished by creating opportunities for all learners to actively participate in the learning environment and to process knowledge through methods appropriate to their individual learning styles. Our model is based, to a great extent, on the constructivist theory of learning.
In so doing, various methods of instruction are planned to be consistent with sound theory and current research findings. The individual faculty member is free to use varied approaches and personalized techniques in instruction. In creating a non- threatening learning climate, allowances for the learning styles are encouraged and responded to through appropriate teaching styles and open communication among all participants. Learning is believed to be inherently joyful and efforts toward developing and maintaining this end are supported. The demands of the content of the subject are not diminished in the teaching effort which will produce the greatest positive change.

The Transactional Memory Specification Drafting Group, made up in part by representatives from Intel, IBM, and Sun, has released the first version of the Draft Specification of Transactional Language Constructs for C++.
This specification introduces transactional language constructs for C++, which are intended to make concurrent programming easier by allowing programmers to express compound statements that do not interact with other threads, without specifying the synchronization that is required to achieve this.
This specification builds on the upcoming C++0x specification. As such, the constructs described in this specification have well-defined behavior only for programs with no data races. This specification specifies how the transactional constructs contribute to determining whether a program has a data race.
The __transaction keyword can be used to indicate that a compound statement should execute as an atomic transaction; that is, the compound statement does not observe changes made by other threads during its execution, and other threads do not observe its partial results before it completes. Furthermore, the compound statement takes effect in its entirety if it takes effect at all. Thus, programmers can think of an atomic transaction statement as taking effect "instantaneously", which greatly simplifies reasoning about interactions between concurrent threads. Two additional syntactic features allow the programmer to specify expressions and functions that should execute as atomic transactions.
For details, see the draft here.

Oh it's a rush to be here :) HI hope you are as good as your art. We have this thing in Oz that if you are really good at stuff we don't like you because we aare jelous. So by rights I should not like you - but your work is so good it negates it. In fact it coket's it actually.
But seriously, I hope you have a wonderful and stunning everthing as well. It's just good to breath sometimes eh?
thanks for sharing your work. You are a classic artist in the classic sense of the word.
cheers from the land of the bluebottle.! :)

Bella dearest, your little snow angel makers are just wonderful. Thank you. Thank you for your lovings comments and wishes.
May you too have merriment and love always. What else is there to wish for? Enough is as good as a feast and the richest man on earth still has to put his trousers on one leg at a time. Even if sometimes we do not have enough, with love, it can be stretched to satisfy all and a few extras as well.
Hugs to you all . . . Arija

I've even got some of that Cow cream (to lubricate their udders!)..doesn't smell so good, but my mother-in-law swears by it. : ) Yes, but I digress...this illustration and the sentiment are so wonderful. To Happy Always. I send my heartfelt hugs your way.

Hi Bella! Wow, thank you so much for your comment! Thank you for not forgetting me :))
I wish you all the best in the coming New Year and I hope you had a great Christmas!
Back in September I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. He is our life and joy and treasure... any everything else. At the same time my husband became very ill. He has a rather severe case of myasthenia gravis. It is not a very common disease for a young man. It is more often found in older women.
Anyways, it's been rather hard for me, to tend to a newborn and my husband, who is home, but cannot do anything.
I have been working with our public health services in treating my postpartum depression. I have a family visitor, i go to the weekly meetings of depressed mothers in the "early years" center. My life is pretty much scheduled around breastfeeding on demand, cooking, cleaning and my groups.
I kinda made my blog more about my art, rather then my life, and since i haven't been drawing much recently i haven't been updating my blog.
i did make a present for my in-laws for this christmas, an acrylic painting, and i was actually planning on posting it here. i will do it, i promise!
i hope you and your girls are doing fine! i will read back your blog to see the updates in your life :))
With best regards,

HIIIIIII BELLLAAAAA! I miss you! I just recently stopped by my own blog Positively Lovely (isn't that Positively Horrid?) and saw that you had visited. I haven't been drawing too much,lately, I've been doing a lot of writing. So I thought I'd stop by and visit with you a spell.
I've missed so much of your lovely work, but I'm not disappointed. This is fabulous! It's so cute and so appropriate for this time of year and for all year round.
Love you much, my darling and can't wait for next year's surprises you have in store.

Awwww... if that isn't the most heart-melting drawing EVER!!! I just want to eat them up, but then I wouldn't get to make hot chocolate for them!! I have a soft spot for snow angels, when my husband and I were dating he made them all over the parking lot outside my apartment for me. And both my kids had bear snowsuits. Aw, I'm blathering, stop me before I turn into a pile of slush!!

Do you know that the greater siren, Siren lacertina has a slender body resembling that of an eel? It is nearly one meter (3 1/4 ft) long.
- January 9, 2011 at 3:07 PM
- Ces said...
It has forelimbs but no hind limbs and is equiped with lungs as well as gills. They are exclusively North Americans.
- January 9, 2011 at 3:08 PM
- Ces said...
Why am I telling you this?
- January 9, 2011 at 3:08 PM
- Ces said...
Because I want to tell you about Neoteny.
- January 9, 2011 at 3:08 PM
- Ces said...
Neoteny is the phenomenon where animals including both amphibians and reptiles acieve sexual maturity while still retaining many juvenile or larval characteristics.
- January 9, 2011 at 3:10 PM
- Ces said...
The siren lacertina has 3 pairs of gillslits and four fingers on each hand.
- January 9, 2011 at 3:10 PM
- Ces said...
I have six fingers on my left hand. The sixth finger is not really a finger, it's like a hanging long grape. I always hold it with my left fifth finger. It creeps people out.
- January 9, 2011 at 3:12 PM
- Ces said...
Oh have you heard of the Unken reflex?
- January 9, 2011 at 3:13 PM
- Ces said...
Unken reflex is assuming a poture involving arching the body with the tail perpendicular to the body to show off the gaudy discoloration to warn predators of toxins in their skin.
- January 9, 2011 at 3:14 PM
- Ces said...
Now wouldn't it be wonderful if some young women or even men have unken reflex? We don't have to deal with toxic people then!
- January 9, 2011 at 3:15 PM
- Ces said...
Okay, that's our siren lesson for today.
The siren belongs to the Order Caudata. I always liked that name.
Kingdom animalia, Phyllum chordata, etc etc. I always like ordering things. Too bad my life is in shambles sometimes.

Thank you Bella Sinclair. You are the absolute best phenomena that ever happened to me in the WWW and in COW (Ces's Own World).
You are a poet and only you can topple Joyce Kilmer off his perch as my my favorite poet. Your TREES poem is absolutely divine but also kinky by including my polydactyl grape.

Sugar darling baby girl! Oh my heart is so full. You are better than Jimmy Choo's woman! How blessed am I to have you in my life. Thank you so much for your friendship and love. I appreciate you and you know this, but I have to say it again and again. I miss you. Soon as I get some funds I'm coming to visit. I need to get out of Jersey. To much snow!!! We are due for a whole bunch tonight into the morning! Would love to be there with you sitting on your couch drink hot chocolate and eating pasta and yapping it up he he he! You are the bestest from the eastest to the westest!
Love you

Dear Bella; words can not express what your wonderful card did for me that day, life appeared bleak and I was really in a bad place. Your wonderful words of encouragement, and your donation meant the world to me.
It was just what I needed to get me going again.
Thank you!
I know I have been busy, and I wasn't sure if I told you, or not!
(Memory thing, it happens with MS.)
So… I always look forward to your posts and again.
Thank you!

Size DOES matter. Only those with puny and teenie-weenie doodads say that! They won't say it if they have a HUMUNGOUS doodad! That would be too obvious. SHEEHS! (She Has Extra Enormous Honker Size)

Hullo Bella :)
Have you heard of the "Dyfus affair"?
Dyfus was a Captain (Medic) in the French Army Circa 1903 who was thrown out when it was discovered that, not only was he a duck, but that he was also a Quack.
Yes, you guessed it, my magic word is "dyfus". Which are, of course, those really small flakes of dandruff that fall out of your hair and land, not on your own shoulders, but on the shoulders of the other people who are also waiting for your bus.
Hope your new year is ripping :)
I am being quite because I am unusually actually trying to complete a project.
Normally I jump from a to gamma.
But am taking small leaps. (read 'steps")
Do you do children's books by chance?

Your space looks awesome here. I see you've been taking a break. I'm just getting back to the blog world. It's nice to be back to see what everyone has been up to but the break was wonderful and very much needed. Happiness to you always...

Wishing you the happiest of New Years, sweet, sweet Bella. I do believe you are as sweet at the faces of the wee children you draw. Yes, one evening Ces was bored and walked and walked and walked and there she was in my front yard, painting glory in the sky. You are both my JoY. **kisskiss** Deb
