Who Knew Three Would Be So Hard?!
I have a confession to make to my fellow gentle parents. I find the "three-year-old" age much harder than the "two-year-old" age.
Holy. Night. Dear readers, I have been at my wit's end this past week – what with the smoke damage to our house, the resulting stress from the clean-up, the hotel, the not having a kitchen (a.k.a. the crap food) for over a week now, the Carnival of Natural Parenting, other deadlines and activities that fell right in the middle of the mess, and the fact that our three-year-old son, Kieran, has been just as stressed about everything as I have been. Suffice to say that I have had several parenting moments that I would not want televised.
Want to read more about my awful parenting moments? (wink wink) I have a guest post up today at Mama Eve – I'd love for you to wander over there and read "Three" Is the New "Two." When you're done leaving your thoughts on my piece, stay for awhile and poke around Suchada's site – and tell her Dionna sent you!
Some of my personal favorite posts she's written are:
Birth without fear doesn't mean you can't be scared

And stay tuned, I'll be hosting a guest post from Suchada here on Code Name: Mama this Thursday, April 7. Please stop by and say hello to her!

"Who Knew Three Would Be So Hard?!"
I could not agree with you more on 3 being harder than 2. It was for both of my first two. Maybe by the time the third is 3, I'll have figure out a way to tame the fierceness of being 3. ha!
First of all, LOVE the picture of Kieran! I could have snapped that same photo of my son many, many times over. And oddly, when I see sweet Kieran's face all scrunched up in anger/frustration/hormones it actually gives me a giggle. I can't remember being three, but I can vividly remember being a teenager, and I remember being so angry and frustrated, and that so many people just didn't UNDERSTAND me. Can we identify and empathize better with them if we put ourselves in their shoes a bit more?
I loved your post. My 2.75 yo son is in the same boat. His twos were actually great compared to most. I was patting myself on the back, all smug because he was so communicative, not very rebellious, so accepting of the empathy that poured out of my attachment parenting self. But then he stopped being two and started being three and nothing worked any more. He is exhibiting all those things you listed (not listening, the controlling everyone else's behavior, changing his mind so that everyone loses, etc. And just to add to the fun, he gave up his nap.) Now I'm eating humble pie and wondering if I really want a second child…
Thank you for sharing – it does help to know that others are going through this, too, and that "four may be the new babymoon"…
Three is definitely harder than two. It's because they have a sense of the word "I" which they don't have earlier on. A three and a half year old is one of the most challenging people on the planet. It *is* hard to stay calm and composed, and maintain the boundaries they need. Good luck. :)
hahaha!! BTDT… and I feel the SAME WAY. (:
Three is waaayyyy harder than two. I kept wondering what all the fuss was about with the "terrible twos" comments. But it was 3 that really challenged me.
But, *sigh, then 4 came along. Just wait. It gets, er, … more. -
I LOVE the picture of Kieran! Well, in some respects 3 is easier than 2, but ONLY because things may be calming down with me. I think that 2 was harder for me due to Peter spending a good portion of time in Iraq and then my health issue.
On the other hand, I have had some unpublishable (I like that description) moments with my older daughters. We can have really great moments and then other times I just completely break down. I guess the only good thing is that I am reminded how far an apology can go…Sigh, now I probably sound like a terrible mother, but the past 9 months have just been so stressful…and I wish I could help you out, as you have given so much to me!
I found 2.5 – 3.5 to be the most continually challenging age bracket so far – for both of my children. I thought, when my first hit that age stage, that it was because I also had a new baby in the house. But, now that my son has just made his way through it (he'll be 4 very soon!), without another baby in the house, it wasn't really that. It's the age. 3 is just hard. It's all about the autonomy v. stillwanttobemommysbaby tug of war.
My kids are 3 1/2 years apart. This means that most of my worst parenting moments happened when my daughter was 3 years old and I was heavily pregnant. I spent A LOT of time freaking out about how I was going to handle two. Luckily, though, she mostly came out of the worst of it right around the time her little brother was born. Plus, I didn't have the pregnancy hormones either, which probably helped.

A hoax, my good woman? No, no, no. A 60% off DKNY sale is a hoax. Kelly McGillis' love scenes with Tom Cruise were a hoax. "Compassionate conservatism" is a hoax. Jessica Simpson's singing career is a hoax.
No, what happened to Matthew Shepard was not a hoax. It was a horror, one we'd very much like to prevent from ever happening to anyone else again.
Hate crime legislation sends the message that violent crime against gay, lesbian and transgender people will be taken seriously. If conservatives have a philosophical difference with that, well, all this could have been avoided if such crimes had been taken seriously in the first place.
While Alberta slowly, painfully shuffled its way into the 20th century yesterday, the big story was the defection of five-term Republican Senator Arlen Specter to the Democratic party. Apparently, his man-crush on Barack Obama proved irresistable. I smell a bromance!
There were, of course, other theories. Lots of them. All day. How, how, they cried, could Specter abandon his conservative principles? Well, here's three reasons:
1) Republicans are out-of-touch
A new CBS poll reveals that 42% of Americans approve of same-sex marriage -- an increase of nine points in just one month! Republicans can cry all they want but the majority of the US public likes the gays:
2) Republicans are dumb
How else to explain a study that found conservatives believing that satirist Stephen Colbert is only pretending to pretend to be conservative? Apparently, Colbert's celebrations of FOX News designed to mock FOX News are secretly celebrating FOX News!
3) Republicans are absolutely full-on batshit insane
Their "arguments" against gay marriage...
So if you want to know why Specter jumped ship, there it is -- he knows he will never be elected again so as long as he's teamed up with the kind of people who think two men at a wedding will bring about the coming of the Sumerian shape-shifting god of destruction Gozer the Traveler.
But yes, that is of course insane! No real Republican is going to make such a wild leap between hypothetical disasters and US politics, right?
Oh. Nevermind.

As discussed yesterday, we mourned the death of Bea Arthur because she was one of the great comedians and a classy dame! But what is this "classy?" Like pornography, do we only know it when we see it? Well, here's a handy guide:
CLASSY! Journalist Rex Wockner, who sat down (in a church!) with Miss USA pageant contestant Carrie Prejean to discuss her opposition to gay marriage. Watch Wockner display the patience of, well, a saint as Prejean blames her blissfully unthinking bigotry on judge Perez Hilton's "hidden agenda." Umm...have you seen that guy? There's nothing hidden about him!
NOT CLASSY! Francis Begbie, the violent thug in "Trainspotting," who actor Robert Carlyle now says he played as a repressed homosexual. Great -- a movie that features Ewan McGregor and Jonny Lee Miller and the gay character is Begbie? There really is no justice!
CLASSY! Neil Patrick Harris, the hilarious and hot host (literally!) of last Sunday's TV Land Awards. Let him host the Oscars already!
NOT CLASSY! The vaguely creepy but hilarious website Heavypetting, which features amateur porn photos (made colourfully PG-13) that accidentally include the family pet. Inappropriate!
CLASSY! The students and teachers at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, Maryland, who staged a counter-protest against the odious Fred Phelps clan (or is it 'klan?'). Phelps was protesting the school being named after a homosexual. Wow -- Whitman died in 1892. We knew Phelps' people hated the 21st century but we had no idea they still think it's the 19th!
CLASSY/NOT CLASSY/I'M NOT SURE Larry Kramer, gay visionary and self-described "famous big deal loudmouth activist" uses an award acceptance speech to deliver a long-deserved "fuck you" to Yale University.
NOT CLASSY! Fans of the online 'Star Wars' roleplaying game discovered that the words "homosexual," "lesbian" and "gay" are blocked from any kind of use. Players argued about this in the game's forum until "community manager" Sean Dahlberg bluntly wrote:
"As I have stated before, these are terms that do not exist in Star Wars. Thread closed."
Ouch! But no gays in 'Star Wars?' I've got three letters, one number saying otherwise (figure it out, nerds!) and the lads at 'Robot Chicken' revealed what bounty hunter Boba Fett gets up to when he's alone:
CLASSY! The people of Iceland, who elected Johanna Sigurdardottir as the country's first female prime minister and the world first openly gay leader! Of course, since the country's bankrupt, they may not have been doing her a service but it's still a great thing to see.
But a final NOT CLASSY! for the hideous Tiffany Wellsley, who -- despite her born-to-drag name -- penned the disgusting editorial:
I deliberately left the font big from the 'Republican Faith Chat' website because of its awe-inspiring evil! You see, when natural disasters strike, gay people don't blame conservative Christians. We don't say tornados are God's punishment for the priests who raped all those children. We don't say that people get sick because God disagrees with their pious, cruel and judgmental lifestyle. We don't say any of that. It wouldn't be classy!

The downside to doing a weekday blog is that if something big happens on the weekend, a Monday post on it arrives pretty late to the party. So it is with the news that Bea Arthur died in her sleep on Saturday at the age of 86 but hey, she was a remarkable lady, I'm a fan and maybe you'll see a clip here today that wasn't passed to you on Facebook yesterday.
In their obit, wisecracking gossip site Defamer said, "She will be loudly mourned by the gays." Well of course. As Arthur herself would joke, a 5'10" woman with a deep voice made for a natural gender nonconformist and she was an early and vocal friend of gay rights. She was also the kind of old-school brassy dame, cracking wit and Broadway baby that gay men have always adored. Perhaps too much:
Okay, that image might be a teensy bit over the top but here's a look back at a career that makes a case for it. First, her Broadway career -- this relatively recent clip shows how smooth she could be:
And for drag queens, her "Mame" duet with Angela Lansbury is legendary:
I hope people will check out the recently released DVDs of "Maude." Although "The Golden Girls" is the superior sitcom, Maude was an incredible character and a perfect fit for Arthur's whiplash comic timing. She was introduced on "All in the Family" and immediately made a big impression:
She talked about "Maude" with the charming Bob Costas in 1989. If you can get past the tedious opening credits, the interview is Bea Arthur at her classiest:
Her trip to Canada to become the Shopper's Drug Mart spokesperson was not Bea Arthur at her classiest -- but she could fly! How cool is that?
She could do it all! Did you know she ran the alien cantina in "Star Wars??" (Okay, it's from the banned-but-bootlegged "Star Wars Holiday Special" in 1978 but still...)
And how about this frankly jawdropping duet with Rock Hudson, singing about doing drugs in the '70s (Rock mentions poppers twice -- coincidence?):
For a lady who carried herself with such effortless dignity, Arthur was always ready to humilate herself for a joke, like in this notorious "Sex and the City" parody:
But, like I said, it's "The Golden Girls" that truly made her beloved among just about everyone. Here's a sample:
And when she got be funny and sing? Pure gold:
And for the final clip, I couldn't decide between her musical manifesto on "Maude" or the sweetly silly final moments of the last-ever "Golden Girls" episode -- but why choose? Say goodbye to a great lady twice:

Here at the Roundup, I usually try to leaven the daily "wow-can-you-believe-this-homophobic-crap?" stories with silly videos and snarky wisecracks. In life, as always, you gotta laugh.
But there's been two unpleasant stories this week that have distracted me during other columns and blocked me altogether on Wednesday -- begging your indulgence, here comes a rant:
First, there's this month's wave of gay murders in Iraq, notable for their swiftness and sickening cruelty. An unnamed Sadr City official explained to Reuters:
"They were sexual deviants. Their tribes killed them to restore their family honor."
Six years of US war with Iraq and that democracy thing is really coming along, no? These guys put the "evil" in medieval and the...oh forget it. See? I can't bring the funny on this.
Especially as the story feeds into the second nightmare this month: while it's all-too-easy to decry this stone-age religious fundamentalist tribal barbarism in Iraq, in 21st century North America this month, we've seen the suicides of not one but two 11-year-old boys:
On April 16, ten days after Carl Walker-Hoover killed himself in Springfield, Massachusetts, another 11-year-old boy -- Jaheem Herrera of DeKalb County, Georgia -- also hung himself after months of enduring anti-gay bullying. His mother told CNN how the boy would say:
"Mom, they keep telling me this...this gay word, this gay, gay, gay. I'm tired of hearing it, they're telling me the same thing over and over."
Similar bullying in 2007 drove 13-year-old Shaquille Wisdom of Ajax, Ontario to hang himself and 17-year-old Eric Mohat of Mentor, Ohio to shoot himself. In Mohat's class alone, there were three other students who killed themselves.
But here's the extra part that's bugging me: while the news reports take time to ponder whether or not any of these kids actually were gay (does it matter?) or speak of bullying as some inescapeable force of nature or rite of passage, they ignore the wider issue.
"A mother called me. Her son came out. He was 16. The gym teacher made fun of how he ran...The mother went to the principal but he washed his hands of it. The boy dropped out, four credits short of graduation."
This is the real problem. In each of these stories, the parents kept insisting the school intervene but nothing ever changed. It's not hard to see what that neglect would do to the kids under attack. They didn't kill themselves because of a few thugs; they killed themselves because, to them, everyone else was siding with the bullies. These kids were alone. Like Herrera's mother says:
"...she thinks her son felt like nobody wanted to help him, that nobody stood up and stopped the bullies."
Mohat's parents have now decided to sue the school -- not for money, but to force change:
"The lawsuit -- filed March 27, alleges that the quiet but likable boy, who was involved in theater and music, was called "gay," "fag," "queer" and "homo" and often in front of his teachers. Most of the harassment took place in math class and the teacher -- an athletic coach -- was accused of failing to protect the boy."
See, we look upon the tribal killings of gay men in Iraq with horror and condescension but how is a group urging someone to kill himself much different? High schools are nothing but tribes -- jock, nerd, art fag, rich girl, you know them all -- and these cliques protect their own and banish the Other.
Dan Hughes pulled his bullied son out of Mohat's high school, saying:
"What it boils down to is the football players, cheerleaders and kids with money have a different set of rules than everybody else."
Of course the gym teacher isn't going to defend a sissy boy against jock bullies. Those jocks are his people. They don't run funny. I doubt his thinking is so cruelly overt, of course, but more of an unconscious tribal affiliation that carries on all through adulthood unless challenged. It's up to all of us to challenge our own biases and examine both the tribes and cliques we belong to and the people we shun.
And hey, I can find a silly angle on this! Here's the great big trailer for a new TV show from Ryan Murphy, the gay creator of "Nip/Tuck." It looks like high school tribes were on his mind as well and, in his silly, snappy TV way, he hopes to shake them up a bit. Good luck!

Two major weight loss companies won't touch Kim Kardashian's "big fat ass" with a 10-foot pole ... TMZ has learned they have zero interest in signing the pregnant celeb to a Jessica Simpson type deal.Reps for Jenny Craig and Medifast tell TMZ they won't be be helping Kim K shed her post-baby weight -- and their reason, ironically enough, is the reality TV star isn't real enough.
NOTE: Poll results are not scientific and reflect the opinions of only those users who chose to participate. Poll results are not reflected in real time.
Interestingly, JC's rep added, "We will continue our working relationship with Mariah Carey."
Of course we don't know if Kim's even looking for a new weight loss deal ... she endorsed Quick Trim last year.
But who knew? Mariah's ass: way realer than Kim's.

Project Title: Environmental Health Coaches Program
Project Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Applicant Information: Center for Intergenerational Learning, Temple University
Type of Applicant: State Controlled Institution of Higher Learning
Total Grant: $24,662.00
Brief Summary: The project will mobilize older adults from low-income neighborhoods in Philadelphia to educate elementary school children about environmental hazards that endanger community health. A corps of 15-20 older adults will be recruited from neighborhoods that have been identified as having the highest rates of asthma and diabetes to serve as Environmental Health Coaches. The older adult participants will engage in a 12-week training program designed to increase their knowledge about the effects of environmental hazards on public health, enhance their ability to utilize the arts to effectively educate children, and build their skills as community leaders. They will then work with teachers at 3-5 area elementary schools to engage approximately 140 children in a series of workshops intended to increase their knowledge about environmental triggers for chronic health conditions and help them develop action steps to protect themselves, their families, and their communities.
Environmental Outcomes: The project will recruit and train 15-20 older adults from low-income Philadelphia communities targeted by the STEPS for a Healthier Philadelphia Initiative to become Environmental Health Coaches. The Center for Intergenrational Learning will prepare a 12-week curriculum training program at Temple University which will focus on the relationship between environmental hazards and chronic diseases using interactive and artistic techniques that have been successful in working with young children in skill development in areas of community assessment and public speaking. Approximately 150 elementary school students will be involved in workshops designed to raise awareness of environmental hazards and increase their understanding of steps they can take to protect themselves from these toxicants.

COLUMBUS — If Nebraska's big comeback to beat Wisconsin 30-27 on Saturday night looked familiar to Ohio State fans, they weren't alone.
Nebraska's players were thinking the same thing.
A year ago, Nebraska made the biggest comeback in school history when it came from 21 points down to beat the Buckeyes 34-27. Saturday night, it spotted Wisconsin a 17-point lead twice, then made the second-biggest comeback ever in Nebraska football.
"We knew we had done it before and could do it again," Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez said in his post-game press conference.
"Pretty much everyone was chattering about it."
Ohio State (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) and Nebraska (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten) will both go into their Saturday night game at Ohio Stadium after big wins.
OSU beat Michigan State 17-16 by being strong in two areas that Michigan State thinks are its strengths — playing defense and running the football.
"It was a fun game. It was a good team game. We fought through it and we'll be back at it tomorrow," quarterback Braxton Miller said after running for 136 yards on 23 carries and throwing for 179 yards, including the go-ahead touchdown on a 63-yard pass to Devin Smith.
Ohio State's offensive line also had a good day. It allowed only one sack and was dominant on OSU's final drive when the Buckeyes ran out the clock with nine consecutive running plays.
"Offensive linemen don't show up on the stat sheet. So when you can do something like that, everyone knows it was on the offensive line and we responded and we reacted," center Corey Linsley said.
"It wasn't solely us winning the game. But in the end we really mattered and we had to step up," he said.
Wide receiver Corey Brown called the win at Michigan State "a real confidence booster, definitely."
Maybe the safest bet about the OSU-Nebraska match-up is that Ohio State's players will call Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez a great player, or some variation of that, whenever they're asked about him.
Last week, Wisconsin defensive end David Gilbert said Martinez's unorthodox throwing motion made him "look like he's skipping rocks out there."
Martinez responded by throwing for 181 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 107 yards against Wisconsin.
For the season, Martinez is completing 68 percent of his passes and has thrown for 1,059 yards. He has 11 touchdown passes and only one interception and is the Cornhuskers' No. 2 rusher with 298 yards.
Ameer Abdullah (486 yards) is Nebraska's leading rusher. No. 1 running back Rex Burkhead (273 yards) is back after missing two games with an injury.
FILM CRITIC: Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi was unhappy with the game films Ohio State provided to MSU.
Narduzzi said the films did not include motion and shifts before the football was snapped.
The two schools said the matter was settled between them and no action was taken by the Big Ten. Ohio State provided complete films on Thursday and Michigan State obtained game films from some of OSU's earlier opponents.
GOOD WHILE IT LASTED: Ohio State had its top two running backs, Jordan Hall and Carlos Hyde, available at the same time this season for the first two quarters at Michigan State.
Hall went out late in the second quarter with a knee injury and his status for the Nebraska game is uncertain.
BY THE NUMBERS: OSU coach Urban Meyer is 11-0 in conference openers in his career. His teams are 39-4 in September.
Bradley Roby's blocked punt against Michigan State was the first of his career and the first by an Ohio State player since Ryan Shazier blocked one against Wisconsin last season.
Ohio State has beaten Michigan State eight of the last nine times they've played and has won seven of the last eight games between the two teams in Spartan Stadium.

Bush proposes 9 districts
(CNS): Despite the majority result in Wednesday's referendum in favour of one man, one vote and single member constituencies, the premier has proposed an entirely different voting system and has announced his intention to set up a committee to examine the idea of creating eight districts on Grand Cayman, each returning two members, and retaining the status quo on Cayman Brac. Speaking on Radio Cayman on Thursday evening, McKeeva Bush announced his intention to create a bipartisan committee to examine this or other options. Such a proposal would, however, require the boundaries on Grand Cayman to be entirely redrawn.
In his unpublicised broadcast on the government radio station Bush said this proposal for returning 18 members to the legislative Assembly at the next election would address local perceptions about inequality but would not have what he believed were the "dangerous elements" of single member constituencies.
Although the referendum result delivered a clear and irrefutable message to the government about what the people want, with only ten months before the next general election the premier is proposing to completely change the boundaries established by the constitutionally formed boundaries commission.
Bush described the creation of eight double-member constituencies on Grand Cayman with as equal a number as possible of registered electors, who would have one vote each, where the top two candidates would be returned to the country's parliament.
Echoing comments made by Rolston Anglin shortly before the referendum, Bush said that there needed to be more discussion on improving the electoral system, as he announced the creation of a new group to examine the way Cayman votes.
Despite considering the referendum result a binding 'No' Bush said he was a leader that looked at all the angles of how people feel.
While I don't believe that single member constituencies are good for the country, I want to continue to work for equality and a system that is fair," he said.
"I would propose we continue the discussions as to whether our present system should be examined without being skewed by the prism of so much politicization and whether we should consider moving toward a new system of all multimember constituencies, with eight electoral districts for Grand Cayman of roughly the same number of voters each and each electoral district returning two MLAs."
He said that Cayman Brac and Little Cayman would be left as is but the change on Gradn cayman would be in line with the principles of "equality and fairness as advocated by the One Man One Vote Committee."
Maybe Booby Quay can become a
This is impossible! Our
This is impossible! Our beloved premier very unjustly rigged the system so OMOV couldn't possibly win. OMOV STILL won, and now he's begging the country to please keep him in gowerment by introducing OMOV but we have to do it HIS way???!!!
GERRYMANDERING, which bush is
GERRYMANDERING, which bush is probably going to attempt, is the old ploy of trying to arrange voting boundaries for the benefit of a specific political party. If he intends to set boundaries so that each constituency has about the same number of voters, which ballpark would come out at about 1500/2000 per section, West Bay would have two constituencies returning FOUR MLA's - anything sound familiar. But look at the Eastern districts of GC - how far West would the boundary have to be drawn to provide 2000 registered voters, and consider the geographical infrastructure for which just two MLA's would be responsible.
What seems contradictory if the CNS report is correct, is that what bush appears to be suggesting is that within the 8 equinumerical constituencies each person would have ONE vote and the two candidates receiving the most votes would be elected to the LA - doesn't that sound a bit like OMOV ? Or, does he mean 2 votes per person, one for each of their two favorites.
The best solution for the
The best solution for the people is:
NO districts.
Everybody votes for anybody.
3 or 4 political parties based on policy and opinion not district.
Candidates can not have any link to local business.
No need to be registered as a voter, just 18 or older.
SO a person from westbay could vote for a person from eastend.
THIS will unite the cayman islands.
Consider this........Bush and
Consider this........Bush and all his bushmen launched a campaign against OMOV and said "nothing is wrong with this system....we have used it for 180 years". Then right before the referendum day they agreed a bettter system was needed BUT they could not agree what that better system might be....each one of them has their very differing solutions........clearly they are all confused, and clearly their confusion confused their faithful followers (as always). The good news is thankfully we can all sleep a little easier now knowing that West Bayers are finally catching on as is evidenced by the results of the votes in that district. It would not surprise me now though if someone has told Bush things don't look good for him in 2013 (he would never figure that out for himself) and soon launches a campaign to divide West Bay into 9 districts and everyone can vote for only him up to 9 times. They may have also suggested that he joins Bodden Town, North Side and East End into one district to try to eliminate Ezzard and Arden......don't laugh....XXX. Beware!
Mckeeva's only reason for
Mckeeva's only reason for suggesting such a system is because he now realizes that it will be very difficult for a UDP candidate to win in a Single Member Constituency. But they may have a chance for second place if they run some spoilers. Trust me, he is no fool when it comes to manipulating systems.
We must not settle for another system that can be manipulated by politicians. Electoral systems must operate in the best interest of the voters.
Mr.Bush. It's over. Go home
Mr.Bush. It's over. Go home and lie down. You'll feel a lot better and so will the rest of us who won't have to bear listening to you yelling your head off come the next general election. But if you do decide to run, for pity's sake put down the (superfluous) bullhorn and attempt to address the public with some measure of decorum. Thank you.
Blogger at 14:58...Its not
Blogger at 14:58...Its not the opposition to focus on the Economy, they are not the majority Government. Its the UDP that has to focus on the Economy, Balancing the budget and other matters. For 3 years plus they have been waiting for the PPM and the Independent member for NS to give them ideas on how to manage the finances and how to do things. Right now all money matters are being channel through the Premiers office, rather than through the Treasury and because of that, they cannot account for where the monies are going to and it makes the budget very hard to balance. Sure the UDP will say they have a surplus, but show me the money. Are they paying their bills? Did they balance the books yet for 2005 - 2009? I don't think so, because they don't want you the people to see the true picture. They can't be truthful and they cannot handle the truth. They are a bunch of very angry politician, because they cannot control the UK. They will never admit that they cannot achieve anything like the PPM did in such a short space of time. They just cannot! All they have done for 3 years is to blame the PPM and Alden. They gets up on platforms and tries to slaughter anybody that opposes them or do something that they did not instigate and just row row row. I heard the doing character assasination on Wayne Panton, Mr. Moxam, Ezzard, Alden and others. They are good at that. They are just incompetent leaders.
The UK is not sleeping,
The UK is not sleeping, Cayman and Caymanians had better wake up. Look around at what is happening the HSCB issue and what is going on in USA politics. Do you belive the financial industry will be untouched for much longer? We had better wake up and smell the coffee.

Agreed. An estimated $280 billion in lost income tax revenues stashed in offshore banks represents a huge black hole in the world economy. Ironic that the Premier of Cayman would blame the "downturn of world economy" since Cayman banking is one of the causes.

Mac rigged the election by setting hurdles to high to over come but he still lost because his whole party is exposed to holding us down and back. But we know who they are the "Takers and Fakers" of the UDP and they will pay the price for what they have done to our little nation. They do not deserve power of any kind.

OMTV. Finally, a solution I can live with. I get two votes and my wife and the other womenfolk, don't get a say. The country is saved!
Let's go the whole way and
The Cayman Islands are
The Cayman Islands are over-governed; too many MLAs.
Perhaps we should cut the LA down to 9 MLAs and scrap the geographic boundaries. Elections should be a country wide free for all where the top 9 vote getters are elected to the LA.
This would lower the cost of government dramatically and perhaps get a better caliber of MLA into the LA.
We do not need micro-managing MLAs. Rather, the country needs well educated, competent, and ethical men and women in the LA who will guide the country strategically and let the civil service put the strategy into practice without micro-managed political control.
I guess I am a dreamer.
This ship Cayman Islands is
This ship Cayman Islands is taking in water and sinking fast we had better start working together before it sinks soon. The time is now for us to work together and stop playing politics. Cayman needs sound leadership, we need to balance the budget, get control over unemployment, reduce crime and empower our young people. This political party postering needs to stop and until it does we will only go deeper into chaos. I know our politicians love this country and they should do the right thing in coming together to find solutions to our problems collectively. Thank you all and may God continue to bless and keep us as a nation under God.
Cayman let's face reality.
Cayman let's face reality. Anyone opposing the current Goverment, be it PPM or independents find a way to come together. Put personal grievances aside and find a way to elimilate the UDP May 2013. The ball is in your court. Until this goal is where the focus is we will be beating our gums to no avail. Cayman it's time for the sensible ones of us to admit that this is our goal and reach this at any cost. Do not let McTheva divide and conquer. This is the reason he won in the last election. The independents were against him, PPM were against him but dividing the vote between PPM and the independents allowed UDP to have the majority. Whoever does not see that needs a pair of glasses. Focus on the ultimate goal and we will reach it.
The Premier has advanced
The Premier has advanced too far to recede with saftey: he is deeply interested to execute his purpose, if possible....In common life, to retract an error even in the beginning is no easy task. Perseverance confirms us in it and rivets the difficulty....To this we may add that disappointment and opposition inflame the minds of men and attach them still more to their mistakes
At least 9 is better than 18.
At least 9 is better than 18. Don't know why Ezzard and Alden would oppose it. Nothing it seems cant please them if it is not coming from them. What solutions have they came up with to help UDP boost the economy? None to this day

Bush said, "A committee to examine the idea of creating eight districts on Grand Cayman"

If the Premier Bush establishes a committee to make recommendations on the voting system, I hope Steve McField is appointed to this committee! He needs something to do with all his expertise!
This is pure hypocrisy! The
This is pure hypocrisy! The Premier ... no scratch that , that ship has sailed. The rest f the UDP MLA's should be ashamed of themselves. The UDP has obviously used the referendum results to estimate the results of the next election and has seen the writing on the wall. This move has nothing to do with whats best for the people, any principle of good Government or appropraite electoral structures. It is puely about whats best for the party in the maority Government. We currently have 6 'constituencies'. Mr. Bush now proposes 9. Here are the differences, single-member consituences preserve the natural boundaries between ddistricts. In Mr. Bush's version East End and North Side will likely become one consituency! Likely, this is his intention to cause problems for his 2 biggest opponents the MLA's of those districts and to punish the people in those district for overwhelmingly supporting the concept that they have enjoed representation under for decades. Contrary to the statement in the article it doesnt allow Cayman Brac and Little Cayman to have what it wants, that would be double-member consituencies with 'one man 2 votes'. He is proposing to support the concept of one man 1 vote. So Brackers would still oppose it because they want to be able to have 2 votes each. It does allow them to remain as one distrct, which is what they wanted. The other districts will have their boundaries moved so that the natural district boundaries for GT, BT and WB may all be affected, but likely it would only affect BT and GT. So basically rather than sacrifice one district's natural boundary by splitting it in 2 under SMC's, we are now ging to sacrifice all the others. What this really highlights is that if we agree to Mr. Bush's proposals, we would be increasing the risk of gerrymandering in the country. Under SMC's it is more difficult because the relatively smaller population in each consituency acts as a barrier to gerrymandering. With double member-constituencies, and the removal of the natural district boundaries the risk of gerymandering significantly increases. At some point the political process needs to be about the people not the politicians. I will ignore only for the timebeing the fact that Mr. Bush told us the referendum had to be called early because we wouldnt have enough time if we delayed, and now he is proposing (at least I hope he is proposing) a new referendum on this topic, I assume within the same time-frame. I will ignore for the timebeing the fact that Mr. Bush has not yet agreed a bdget with the UK, and has spent the people's money playing games with them on the referendum topic. I will ignore for the timebeing that those monies spent on a lavish 'no-vote' campaign will likely come from the pockets of civil servants in the form of pay cuts. I will ignore these things for the timebeing. But mark my words UDP, I will not be ignoring them in May 2013. What you have done is shameful and abhorent. And I pray that those who are ignorant to what you are doing and wh blindly follow will have the scales removed from their eyes. You who have come as a wolf in sheeps clothing.
When Dart comes after my
When Dart comes after my property and convinces the Premier to proclaim 'imminent domain' so DartCo can build some unnecessary extravaganza, will you support me in keeping my own heritage?
See, I don't want to sell out. I want something to leave to the children, as they have worked the land also, and respect it. Land can produce food, but that doesn't matter to the big boys, the movers and shakers. Nope. They want big slices of the pie, and dribble the crumbs from their plates for us to fight over.
This is exactly what the Premier is proposing: Yet another division -- in the aftermath of their claims of dividing via OMOV -- of all of us. Divided, we are weaker.
Now is the time for all of us to Cayman UP. Have some grit, and stand strong for your country. These people -- the UDP -- want to sell it all away, or cause you to sell it, and call that "nation-building".
Don't sell out. Hold your ground. The late, great Captain Keith Tibbitts told me once many, many years ago......... " you walk on your ground, and you plant your foot down on your ground, and you defy anyone to move you off of it. That is the basis of your heritage -- to be Caymanian."
Mac just called and asked me
Mac just called and asked me to be Chairman of the 9-Districts Committee. I am to consult as widely as possible, and assure everyone that their input is valuable and will form part of the final report. Early in January I am to report back to him with the following recommendations:
District 1 - West Bay N
District 2 - West Bay S
District 3 - West Bay E
District 4 - West Bay W
District 5 - West Bay M (miggle?)
District 6 - George Town
District 7 - Bodden Town
District 8 - North Side and East End
District 9 - Cayman Brac and Little Cayman
At the end of the month he is going to award me some shiny medals, and in May he will take the title of Honourable and Distinguished Premier for Life.

Was not the goal of the petition for the OMOV movement to force a Peoples Initiated Referendum ? Which would require 50% Plus one to become legally binding. And from what I remember Bush decided to give them what they wanted because of all the hoopla surrounding the petition. Even Miller said Bush caved in to the pressure and decided to give them what they wanted which was a peoples initiated referendum. So why are people complaining ? Am I missing something.
This is what happens when
This is what happens when you follow blind leaders. The people get all their hopes up high and then they get hurt. Like what Pitcarin said on News 27 the other night, "when the elephants play, the grass gets hurt." At least Alden should have showed more support, but he wasn't all into the movement. He was reluctant to show that support, he said yes, but his heart wasn't in it, because he wasnt the author of it. And Ezzard, my Ezzard, he should have known better. He claim he understood the strategy of the current government, but the timing was wrong, and I must admit he had his political interest too. The people follow these leaders and now look at the people. Look at their faces of dissappointment. All I have to say to Alden, Ezzard and those behind the grassroot, thank you guys for breaking the people's morale. Thank you very much. For sure, I will not be voting for any of you again. You have failed me. Next time, have a referendum that you are certain we will win!

The representation under the UDP is so lop-sided it leaves a bad taste in our mouths. When the government is so gregarious, self-centred, bias in their administration, and is willing to let greed (friendship generosity) cause the indigenous Caymanian to be deprived of what has been handed down from our ansestors to be given away to their cronies/developers, What more can we expect in the forseeable future, from such an irresponsible group of people.
Politics was at its best during the tirade of the UDP, over the past few weeks which culminated on the 17th July. Their hostile tone and castigation was an eye opener to those who had supported them and now has a keen sense and understanding of who they are. I hope they have read the results of the land give-away in the TCI and understand the ramifications of it. I patiently await the results in the CAYMAN ISLANDS.

No, please tell me this a joke (even though it is far from being funny). After Bush & his few remaining cronies (XXXXX), publicly shouted it from every media outlet possible that dividing the country up will bring garrison politics, gangs & bloodshed Bush is now going to tell us that he proposes to DIVIDE the country up into 9 districts? Has he gone mad? Does he not have any sense? (Don't answer that one). Does he not have any PRIDE? What a hypocrite. To divide the country up into 9 districts is the same as dividing it up into 18 constituencies, it is only a matter of name, it is still "DIVIDE"! I mean, he has got to go. The poor showing of his supporters voting "no" in the referendum has really affected his head, he obviously is not thinking straight. The massive % of people voting "yes" at the polls must really have him worried, someone please help him, he obviously needs it. Things don't look good for his election prospects in May, if he lasts that long. XXXX
Hmmm...? One man, two votes
Hmmm...? One man, two votes (OMTV)? Well! I am usually the first in line to cast really big stones at the moronic ideas and mindless actions of our beloved Big Mackahuna; however, the idea of making the electoral system at least a bit more fair is perhaps one of the more brilliant ideas I have heard from him of late. It might be the only good idea we will ever hear from him. So don't bash it too hard! Let's pause in our condemnation long enough to consider the benefits.
OMTV puts all electors in all nine districs on equal footing. It makes representation in all nine districts more proportional. Well, almost all, anyway: Cayman Brac and Little Cayman will still have a disproportionally greater ratio of MLA's to population than Grand Cayman but since the Brac usually gets the short end of the stick in most everything else (but dey gots some nice parking lots doh) I can see giving 'em at least this one tiny advantage.
OMTV is a fairly decent compromise between the two warring factions. The idea could perhaps mollify the more moderate OMOV'ers without alienating too many of the Status Quo'ers. It moves toward more equal representation and greater accoutability. And it is a significant nudge closer toward OMOV! I like it!
Of course Most High Lord Wizzard Miller is probably gonna howl against OMTV for obvious reasons (or maybe not, let's wait and see).
Congratulations Mac! You now have one good idea to your credit! Don't let it die of lonliness, OK?
Where did you get OMTVs
Where did you get OMTVs from?
"Bush described the creation of eight double-member constituencies on Grand Cayman with as equal a number as possible of registered electors, who would have ONE VOTE EACH, where the top two candidates would be returned to the country's parliament".
Sorry - you didn't read it
Sorry - you didn't read it all the way through - Mac is proposing one man one vote with the first and second places getting into the LA. This means that, whoever you vote for someone you didn't vote for will get in!
I think "one man, two votes"
I think "one man, two votes" is to sidestep from the idea I was proposing. I recommended that everybody should have two votes: one vote for their district MLA and the other vote (an all-island vote) for who becomes Premier. That way, the electorate will have the right and prevelege to RECALL or REMOVE the Premier from power before his term is up IF THE PEOPLE HAS LOST CONFIDENCE IN HIM.
The fact that he is considering a bipartisan committee to investigate his option, maybe they can throw in the all-island vote option of who becomes Premier. I bet that would stir the pot of controversy a bit. But look, it is about time you give the people more of a participatory role in holding their Premier accountable.
I am presently so full of
I am presently so full of emotions that it is hard to contain the ugliness that wants to show itself, so in an effort to be constructive I have put the pen to paper. With that being said I put the below for your consideration.
So we couldn't wait until November and had to bring the OMOV Referendum forward to July to give enough time to make preparations for the 2013 elections if it were to pass. Because we had to have it in July, we cut off the ability of Caymanians that have the right to vote but are not registered from registering, therefore refusing them the right to have a say in their countries future. We were told "We should not change what isn't broken" as "it has served us well for 180 years", "do not divide Cayman up any more than it is".
Within 48 hours of winning an arguably bias referendum the same super hero can have the audacity to suggest his version of a better system 10 months before the election?
So are we to believe somehow we should be able to have national discussions and implement the new and wonderful idea that has been proposed by him, but we didn't have enough time to have the OMOV referendum when our population wasn't on summer break, when all eligible voters could have been registered if they wanted to…
Anyone that sees this as a nice meld of the OMOV/SMC and MMC is in for a VERY rude awakening. The EBC (Electoral Boundaries Commission) did an extensive research and development process that resulted in constituencies that are as diverse as possible in regards to many factors of our socioeconomic make up. In my opinion the constituencies being divided into 8 or 9 will not allow the degree of diversity per constituency as was achieved by the EBC when it recommended the 18. This seems like a farfetched thought process, but do the math, and then apply that to the geography with consideration to the population. Given that the constituencies will be of fairly even population density. I see a very possible situation where NS, EE and part of BT become one, Then on the other side of the island you will have the northern WB from the cemetery or fire station north (poorer) and the Southern WB from Silver Sands south to Camana Bay (rich) and then some kind of muddled mess in between. I would go into the issues that this type of proportioning will cause, but I am sure you can see where this is going, and it isn't good.
People, I can only say to you that there is a reason the present Government decided to put on hold all the urgent issues to spend the better part of 3 weeks lambasting anyone who didn't see it their way. There is a reason they spend in excess of $100,000 (possibly far more) to cram their opinion down your throat through their "education campaign". Think back just a couple months and relive what has happened and been said, now compare that to what has just been suggested by your government. I wish I felt comfortable enough to unite behind them, but unfortunately I feel nothing less than a strong sense of distrust. I sincerely want my Government to show me some reasons to trust them, I want to feel that they are working towards a better Cayman, but unfortunately I see and feel otherwise. And until I do feel that I have a Government that is truly working for the best interest of Cayman, even if that means they are having to do something that is uncomfortable for me, I will continue to get stronger in my endeavors to serve Cayman in any and all ways that I am able.
Kent McTaggart
Kent my dear, I applaud you
Kent my dear, I applaud you and your team for your hard work on this issue. No matter how the ruling party tries to skew the results, it was a resounding "YES" for OMOV. Well done! Quite honestly I find this latest announcement/proposal by the Premier not only vexing but also alarming. The people of the eastern districts spoke very clearly as to what their desires are and I think he and his government would do well to heed their wishes or leave well enough alone. The Premier and his croonies were shouting from the rooftops that the system was not broken and that it should be left alone, so, pray do tell why would he now, immediately after the Referendum, put forward this new halfcocked propoal? What I do know is that the people of East End and North Side in particular, are unlikely to passively allow such a drastic change to be made, period. The suggestion that some committe put together by the Premier and his UDP government would be the body to examine the merits of such a change is laughable. It might be good for those concerned to remember that North Siders and East Enders are unique people who are not easily intimidated and are unafraid to take a stand! So, if you insist Mac, just bring it on and lets see how it pans out!
Mr McTaggart, I do hope you
Mr McTaggart, I do hope you are considering running in the next election. Its refreshing to read your posts. I was beginning to think common sense was a vanishing commodity - you have given me hope, I wish you well sir.
How about calling the WB Road
How about calling the WB Road from HSBC to WB Cemetery West Bay and the current area from the Cemetery to all the Western landmark as The Republic, with one leader McKeeva.
Then just have 12 members, rather than 15 and 18.
Leave the other districts alone......
Excellent idea!

Longboat Key Fire Rescue conducted a two-day drill for all personnel at the Sarasota County Technical Institute Fire Academy on Dec. 10-11.
This drill was held a month after all personnel attended and completed a class on alarm systems, sprinkler systems, standpipe systems, advancing fire hose in a high-rise structure and dealing with evacuation of occupants.
While at the facility, firefighters were able to put what they learned in the classroom into practical application. Participants were divided into several teams, given a fire scenario and challenged to mitigate the situation.
From this training, Fire Chief Rich Dickerson said the department has enhanced their firefighting capabilities in high-rise buildings.

Not long ago, we examined a pair of Christian Louboutin superplatforms that had a decidedly Scottish tartan bent. The brand also refers to the print on the Christian Louboutin Jenny 150 Slingbacks as "tartan," but something about the colors, or perhaps the scale of the print, makes "plaid" feel like the more appropriate word. Even if this pattern does have an association with a Scottish clan, it just feels so…American.
As American as Daisy Duke, in fact. The knot detail on the toe reminds me of how the fictional vamp used to tie her shirts, and if Jessica Simpson were to shoot her Dukes of Hazzard reboot today, I'd bet that these shoes would figure in at some point. They're just too appropriate not to.
Can you think of anything to pair these slingbacks with other than a pair of well-worn cutoffs? Because I can't. Not that stilettos and jean shorts is my favorite look ever, of course, but because these shoes seem so tailor-made for that specific purpose that it's hard for me to see them any other way. Perhaps I could also see them as a cheeky addition to a pair of crisp white cigarette pants, but come on. These shoes really need a pair of cutoffs. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $945.

Rotary club appeals to attract members
The Crawley branch of one of the largest charitable organisations is losing members, a Rotarian has warned.
Clive Turney, the community services chairman of the Rotary of Crawley (ROC) has been a Rotarian since 1990 and seen the number of members dwindle from 35, to 12.
Clive explained his reason for joining the club was to integrate more with the local community.
He said: "I know this sounds a bit corny but I felt very strongly I wanted to put something back into the community.
"Although I had no idea at the time it turned out to be just what I wanted.
"It gave me opportunities that I just wouldn't have been able to access as an individual - to be involved in projects and in situations that are quite unique. Like taking Santa round the streets of Crawley seeing all the children come out to see him. Also, hosting a family fun day hog roast which raised £2,500.00 to fund Cleft Palate surgery for Children in Sumatra. And taking the children from Manor Green School on a fun day to Chessington World of Adventure every summer."
The club has funded wind turbine water wells in Bolivia and ROC is currently involved in funding sand dams in Africa to provide a reservoir of drinkable water.
Clive added: "Something else I have gained from the club which was unexpected is the whole new circle of friends and acquaintances that come with Rotary.
"Not least the social activities. We've done days at the races, visited the local micro brewery, inter club bowling, golf, darts and much more."
ROC meets at The Regency Hotel, The Old Hollow, Worth, on Monday evenings at 6.35pm.
Anyone who would like to become a Rotarian or help in upcoming events, call Clive on 07860 344442 or email him on email@example.com
Internationally, the Rotary has more than 34,000 clubs and one of its aims, which has almost been achieved, is to eradicate Polio.

ITV News Twitter account hacked by Syrian Electronic Army
British broadcaster ITV on Friday became the latest media outlet to have one of its Twitter feeds hacked by anonymous supporters of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad, just days after Twitter beefed up security to prevent such attacks. Full Article

Iran hangs two men for attack posted on YouTube
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran hanged two men on Sunday for their role in an assault that was filmed and posted on YouTube, the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) reported.
A 37-second video posted on YouTube in December and later shown on Iranian state television showed four masked men approaching the victim on motorcycles, and then two of them assaulting him, taking his bag and jacket. One of the attackers appeared to be wielding a long knife or machete.
The attack prompted public outrage, and officials vowed to punish those responsible.
Alireza Mafiha and Mohammad Ali Sorouri were hanged early on Sunday in the Iranian capital, Tehran, according to ISNA.
They were convicted of "moharebe", or waging war against God, which under Iran's interpretation of Islamic law is punishable by death. Their sentence was issued by a Revolutionary Court in late December, ISNA said.
"The issue of security for our people is more important even than daily bread," said Sadeq Larijani, head of Iran's judiciary, in December.
Two accomplices were sentenced to 10 years in prison and 74 lashes, ISNA reported.
Iran carries out one of the world's highest number of annual executions, according to rights group Amnesty International, which has called on the Islamic Republic to commute death sentences.

The Story
Spirit HD is cast from the same mould as old school arcade classics Asteroids and Space Invaders. Your task is simple, survive wave after wave of attack from hostile forces by strafing out of their way and sucking them into oblivion. There's no epic plotline and scant reward for your achievements bar top placing on your personal scoreboard but why complicate a simple and intuitive treat?
The Experience
If Spirit HD wasn't so easy to grasp, its lack of instructions would be extremely confusing. With no tutorial to peruse after downloading the app, we pitched ourselves straight into Wave 1-1 of Classic mode with our white 'spirit' pitched against several other luminous but less friendly spirits. "Guess we're supposed bump into the pests and gobble them up?" we thought and were soon proved wrong with a swift loss of life.
Eventually, we grasped our ability to form force fields which suck up evil spirits and, from that point onwards, everything was dandy. Force fields are created by drawing circles on the touchscreen with your spirit, it takes a little getting used to but overall, it works extremely well in a responsive and accurate manner. Best of all, strafing in between opponents and luring them into your glowing snares is a hugely rewarding process. Especially when you rack up a huge combo for clearing the field in one swift move.
Spirit HD has three modes of gaming: Classic, Extreme and Pulse. Extreme is to all intents and purposes the same as Classic bar a ratcheted up difficulty level but it adds more of a challenge to what is a fairly samey game. Pulse is the by far best mode, negating the need to draw circles, which can become a bit of a faff in fast-paced levels, instead you bump into force field circles which expand depending on what speed you hit them. Although you're playing the same app, this change in force field creation requires a whole new approach to vanquish your foes and massively extends its longevity as a result.
Since Spirit HD is such a straightforward game any huge changes would run the risk of over-complicating its elementary pleasures. One improvement which would be welcomed however, is the ability to share your high scores online and assert your bragging rights over friends. Some sort of multiplayer challenge mode allowing for simultaneous competition would also go down a storm. Nevertheless, these small gripes do nothing to spoil an effortlessly engaging Android app.
The Bottom Line
A blast from the arcade past. Spirit HD sticks to a simple formula and succeeds magically in doing so.
Additional Info
Version reviewed 1.5.3
Requires Android 2.1 or higher
Download Spirit HD from Android Market
NB: We've been alerted to the fact Spirit HD does contain in-game instructions. They're just extremely tricky to find.

Floss lives with her mum and her mums new husband--the super ambitious Steve--and her half-brother Tiger. When Steve drops the bombshell that he has been asked to go and work in Sydney, and that theyre all moving to Australia for six months, Floss cannot believe it. Shes excited about the prospect of a trip of a lifetime but what about her dad? He may only be the less well-off and unsuccessful owner of a down-at-heel greasy spoon café, but she is all he has got in the world to look forward to. He lives for her weekly visits and the chance to feed her chip butties without her mum finding out.
Floss soon finds herself in an impossible situation. If she chooses to stay behind, everything will be different. She may be able to stay close to her not-all-that-she-seems best friend Rhiannon and get to live with the best dad in the world full-time, but is it the right decision to make in the long run?
As an ambassador demonstrating the robust health of the nations storytelling talent, one needs look no further than Jacqueline Wilson. Her popularity is well earned, and seemingly repeated and confirmed with each new volume in her library. Her novels have a ring of the familiar; characters that seem like they live just next door, speaking dialogue that is so true-to-life it makes you wonder how old the lady behind the words really is. Wilsons bestselling novels, totalling over twenty million and counting, are undoubtedly the modern classics of the future.

First of all, the recommendations for HCG Diet signifies the consumption of liquid; Through-out the day a person has to have a gallon of water that is roughly 4 liter; preferably spring water ideally with coral calcium sachets..
Other liquids are drinking Yerba Mate, Chamomile tea and also taking juice of one lemon. On the whole, tea coffee plain water or mineral water is allowed in any quantity at all times. But check to see that there should be no fluoride in the drinking water.
Significance of liquid diet is especially important during the maintenance period that is the phase 4 of the therapy. Every day in the morning, check the weight on the scale.
If there is an increase of more than two pounds then the person has to fall back completely of liquid HCG Diet – till the end of the day or for the whole day that includes plain water and as much as tea or coffee, all day long. The next day in the morning the increased weight is taken care of. The tea or coffee have the diuretic effect that helps in eliminating the excess water from the body.
The side effects of liquid HCG Diet include improving the bowel movement and the removal of toxics from the body. Since the intake of sodium is just normal, the body does not have the capability of retaining water; if a person consumes one tea spoon of salt through the day the body store one liter of water in the system and increases the weight by two pounds. Hence it would be better to snack on fruits than having salted almonds or chips.
Sufficient intake of water helps the kidney by reducing strain – fewer intakes would make the urine scanty and concentrated. In case of having inadequate water the result would be that water will be drawn from the intestinal tracts resulting in difficulty in gut movement. Excess of water keeps the faces soft therefore the evacuation of the bowel is easier.
The HCG Diet is easy to follow and generally most of the cases are able to hold their weight permanently and very few relapses, as they teach you to always carry your scale to check your weight every day and they are taught exactly how to handle the excess weight with the help of Liquid HCG Diet.

Post with 24 notes
Sebastian hisses as the cool paint touches his skin, fingers jerking and tapping against the equally chill floor of the mansion beneath his back. He regrets stripping to the waist in that moment. The stone has warmed some from his skin, but with the addition of the brush along the line of his collarbone, he can feel every point where the heat has not yet penetrated.
"Do not move," Fenris says, kneeling beside him and staring with furrowed brow at the path of the brow. His touch is light, slow, determined.
Sebastian reminds himself firmly that this was his suggestion, even if the form it is taking was unintended. Fenris needs to practice his letters; what better way than to write out the Chant?
And what better canvas than one of the few tangible things that Fenris focuses on? His blade was too small, wine bottles too round as well. Freedom cannot be painted on, nor can vengeance. His shackles, though Sebastian knows he still carries them in spirit if not in fact, are out of reach of curious fingers.
So instead, Sebastian allows his body to be used as a canvas.
Fenris's lips move and for a moment, Sebastian is uncertain as to what he is breathing. But the breaths turn to whispers and he makes out,
"Those who had sought to claim
Heaven by violence destroyed it. What was
Golden and pure turned black.
Thsoe who had once been mage-lords,
The brightest of their age,
Were no longer men, but monsters."
Threnodies, Sebastian thinks with a barely restrained laugh. It is an appropriate choice for the task, at least; it was only after returning from the Vimmarks that Fenris asked Sebastian for lessons in the Chant as well as in his letters, and he had asked, specifically, to start with the tale of the magisters and their transgressions. And now it had led to this - offering up his skin as paper.
A part of him wishes that Fenris was not inscribing him with words about magisters, but the rest just shivers and relaxes as the brush glides on.
Everytime I see Sebris I'm reminded of elenilote, I don't know why XD;
this is fantastic!
DOodle for this lovely. ; u; I love Sebrisssss
