I was reading John D'Emic's brilliant post Twitter Complex Event Processing (CEP) with Esper and Drools and got truly inspired. After playing around with the combination of Mule and Esper I was amazed how good they suit each other. Letting Mule do the hard work of shuffling data and intelligent routing while Esper analyzing events on a overall level. It gave me kind of a opportunity to be stateful in a stateless environment. For those who aren't familiar with Esper, it is what is called a Complex Event Processing engine that allows you to create queries and assertions on streams of events in real-time.
Tag: CEP
The architecture of Mule is driven by the principles of Industrial Best Practice as outlined in the well-known Enterprise Integration Patterns which have identified the most common building blocks for every integration problem. These building blocks are what make up Mule Flows, the executable units inside Mule Applications. No matter what the problem, wiring them together into an integration solution is extremely easy and by exploiting the power of Mule's native support for the Drools Rules Engine, the Integration Developer has a very powerful set of tools to tackle even the most complex of integration problems with the greatest of ease. With this post I hope to be able to demonstrate this to you!
Complex event processing engines are a natural fit for event driven platforms like Mule. Native CEP support has been available in Mule since version 3.2 by way of the Drools Module. The Esper Module now offers an alternate way to leverage CEP in your integration applications. Esper is a robust, performant, open source, complex event processing engine. Let's take a look at how to use Esper with Mule and then see how it compares to Drools' CEP support.
Mule 3.2 is right around the corner and it is shaping up as the best Mule release ever.
Some highlights include:
- High availability clustering for mission critical environments
- A business event analyzer to gain deep visibility into business events for root cause analysis and compliance
- Drools integration for business rules and complex event processing
In part 1 of this post, I gave an overview of BPM, Rules, and CEP and the way they compliment an integration platform such as Mule. Now let's take a look at what Mule has to offer for integrating with some of these tools.
One of the more common usages of Mule is as the integration piece of a larger SOA architecture. Mule has traditionally never attempted to offer a complete SOA suite/stack of products as some of its larger competitors do, but has rather focused on the thing it does best, which is integration. Other aspects of an SOA architecture (messaging backbone, data storage, governance, etc.) are generally provided by other best-of-breed solutions for those areas, and Mule allows you to integrate with as many different options as possible.

Rusty Harrison quits Workington Comets speedway team
Last updated at 11:38, Monday, 02 July 2012
Rusty Harrison has sensationally quit Workington Comets.
The popular Aussie – second in Comets' all-time appearance list – announced his decision following Workington's home match with Newcastle on Saturday and handed his race jacket back.
Harrison had discovered some of his best form over the last couple of campaign but endured an inconsistent start to this season.
Harrison, who works for M-Sport, said: "I am finding it too hard to do a full time job, take care of my family as well as riding speedway. I want to thank everybody for their support over the years."
In the short term Workington will apply to the British Speedway Promoters Association for the use of rider replacement as Harrison is "deemed to be withholding his services"
Owner Keith Denham said: "We had to go and get Rusty out of the changing rooms before heat 15.
"He has handed his race jacket back in and quit the club so we have got to try and find a new rider."
Comets will be able to sign a rider up to an average of 7.20.
Comets took two points in a 48-44 victory over Newcastle despite being 10 points at one stage, in a contest marred by a crash that saw two Diamonds taken to hospital.

The Chocolate Orpington is a relatively new colour of Orpington and currently to my knowledge only exists in bantam size although I'm sure it won't be long before they are crossed into large fowl.
The choc gene responsible for the chocolate colour was discovered by the late Dr. Clive Carefoot around 1993-1994. It is a rare Sex-Linked Recessive gene that is basically a dilution of black pigment. This means that out of a pair of genes, the female will be chocolate with just one copy of the gene but the male requires two copies of the choc gene to look chocolate. This also means that black males can look black, but can be carrying one copy of the chocolate gene which can be passed to his prodgeny.
Chocolate Orpingtons are slow to feather up. This is thought to be a direct result of the choc gene. Black Orpingtons are slow at feathering up but Chocolate Orps are even slower. They lay a slightly tinted egg.
Chocolate Orpingtons breed true - but there are some breeding combinations that are worth noting:
Black males carrying the chocolate gene are called 'Split' cockerels.

March 9, 2012
The Consumer and Advocacy Advisory Committee (CAAC) for the Blind met in the conference room of the Fisher Building on Friday, March 9. The budget now allows for out-of-town members to attend in person if they wish and get reimbursed. If not, members may join the meeting by conference call.
Call to Order
The CAAC for the Blind meeting was called to order by Chairman Gary Ray at 1:05 p.m.
Present in the Conference Room: Gary Ray, Senator Bill Purcell, Debbie Jackson, Eddie Weaver, Barbria Bacon, Vickie Smith, James Benton, Karen Clark, Bruno Toffolo, William Tubilleja, Carl Keehn, and Carla Parker.
Present on Conference Call: Tim Jones, Steve Harris, and Allen Casey, Lawrence Carter, Ann Avery, and Jennifer Talbot
Gary Ray, Chair, informed the Committee that the reporting entities will be out of order today since some of the members need to leave early. The Chair gave an overview of today's discussions—1) Future of the residential schools. As you know, the NC legislature voted that one of the residential schools would be closed by the Department of Public Instruction--School for the Deaf in Morganton, Eastern School for the Deaf in Wilson or the Governor Morehead School for the Blind in Raleigh. After many discussions and public hearings, it was agreed that GMS would be administratively closed. The Superintendent of Public Instruction, June Atkinson, believed there should be a residential program for the blind in Raleigh so she figured out a way to meet the legislative mandate and keep a residential program on the Governor Morehead School. The administrative functions of GMS will be merged with the Eastern School for the Deaf. Ms. Atkinson believes she has the support of both the House and Senate in this endeavor. The legislature has the cut the budget by $5.5 million dollars for the 3 schools. GMS will be leasing space to Wake County Schools to make up some of this $5.5 million. Wake County Schools will be leasing some of GMS's buildings and bring approximately 200 students to the campus. The other 2 schools are looking at ways to lease space and other cutbacks.
The Governor Morehead School Human Rights Committee met last night and raised concerns about how GMS is going to handle 200 sighted kids and 50 visually impaired kids on this campus. The Human Rights Committee voted to draft a letter to Superintendent Atkinson and Mr. Tata to raise their awareness of these issues and to assist them as much as possible.
The blind community and advocacy groups will support the Superintendent's efforts to keep a residential program on the GMS campus.
Bruno Toffolo's group, GMS Friends, have concerns of the definition of a satellite program. GMS Friends have expressed this concern to legislators and others. GMS Friends are willing to assist in making this residential satellite program succeed on the Governor Morehead School campus.
Senator Purcell suggested making contacts with the House and Senate DHHS Appropriations Committee and raising their awareness of our concerns.
Chair Ray thanked Senator Purcell for his support throughout the years.
Governor Morehead School—Barbria Bacon
Mrs. Bacon reported that this year has been exciting but challenging in working with the Education Oversight Committee and LEA's. We have had many discussions regarding what will be best for the students. The Eastern School for the Deaf will offer courses in the Science technology, engineering, and math. The Morganton School for the Blind will offer vocational programs.
There has been a concerted effort to keep visually impaired students here on the Governor Morehead School campus, in a more urban area than a rural area. The campus will be open for other activities. The YMCA will hold a week-long summer camp and they will utilize the track, gym, and the upper field. This is a good time for us to merge the education of the blind with public school systems and add additional opportunities for students. There are a number of good things that can come from this merge.
Elected Committee of Vendors—Tim Jones
Mr. Jones thanked Senator Purcell for his dedication to the visually impaired and blind of North Carolina.
Senator Corman from Ohio introduced an amendment to the transportation bill. Amendment 1724 would give the State's the authority to commercialize the rest areas on interstate highways throughout the country. If this is passed, it would be devastating to the blind and visually impaired citizens whom support their families with these vending locations. I am encouraging members of the CAAC and anyone else interested to make phone calls to Senator Burr and Senator Hagen's offices and ask them to oppose Amendment 1724 introduced by Senator Corman. Chair Ray will send the information to Carla and she will email pertinent information to members of the CAAC. Question was raised regarding who owns these machines at the rest areas? The State of North Carolina owns these machines.
Senator Hagan's telephone number is 202-224-6342.
Senator Burr's telephone number is 202-224-3154.
The National Federation of the Blind has a couple of legislative issues they will be addressing—1) funding for Newsline and 2) Governor's Executive Order 85, Section 7b. NFB will be talking to legislators trying to get someone to rescind this order. Fiscal research is convinced that this will save a lot of money. We are convinced it will not save money.
NFB's State Convention will be held at Camp Dogwood, September 6-9.
The Federal Convention will be held the week of July 4 in Dallas, TX.
Disability Rights NC (DRNC)—Vickie Smith
Disability Rights NC has been very busy. Currently, there are 5 federal lawsuits pending. None of these directly impact the blind and visually impaired. One lawsuit may have some impact on the blind and it is about personal care services. It challenges the State's move to raise a higher level of need for people receiving personal care support if they live in their own home rather than living in an adult care home. Personal Care activities are typically activities of daily living such as bathing and mobility. DRNC prevailed in the Eastern District. The judge issued a preliminary injunction stating the State should not have a lower standard of living for adults who choose to remain in their homes and live independently than adults who live in an adult care home or other facility. The State appealed this decision to the 4th circuit and asked the 4th circuit to "stay" that decision and they prevailed. This means that unless the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare services allow a service that is supposed to expire on May 1 to continue beyond May 1, then there will no personal care services for anyone.
Two other lawsuits relate to the State's transition to a manage care model of providing services under Medicaid.
There is also an employment discrimination lawsuit.
We continue to monitor conditions in facilities. Last year, DRNC was in over 100 facilities including the 3 residential/campuses. The schools are their priority. DRNC attempts to attend all Human Rights Committee meetings. If we find concerns, they try to resolve them with the Director or Principal. The only concern we have about the transition from DHHS to DPI is we need a formal and final abuse/neglect reporting mechanism.
DRNC cannot use any federal dollars to lobby at the General Assembly so any presence we have downtown is from donations and other fund raising activities.
Ms. Smith reminded the group that DRNC is coming up on its' Fifth Birthday and everything they have done they had to learn how to do it. She is extremely proud of the staff at DRNC.
Merger--Chair Ray and others are looking for someone from the controlling party to introduce the legislation to do away with Executive Order 85. Senator Purcell will work with Mr. Ray with the Newsline bill.

Prevent Blindness North Carolina—Jennifer Talbot
Everything is running pretty smooth at Prevent Blindness. There was extra money given to DPI for equipment for the Exceptional Children's Program. Prevent Blindness now has equipment in all 100 counties and training was provided to two people on each piece of equipment. In the future, training will be provided to other staff in the counties.
Prevent Blindness is completing the third year as a pilot State for maternal and child health bureaus Center of Excellence for Early Childhood vision screenings. We are now in the process of doing our renewal grant for the next three years. We were fortunate to have three doctors from Duke to participate and make national recommendations for early childhood equipment, data collection, and performance measures.
Regional Library for the Blind & Physically Handicapped—Carl Keehn
Upcoming Holidays
Friday April 6 Good Friday
Monday May 28 Memorial Day
In mid-December, the National Library Service announced the phasing out of analog service over the next three years. They have assigned a quota to each library, which mandates that each year a quarter of the cassette collection will be withdrawn so that by the end of 2015 no further cassettes will remain in inventory. Withdrawn materials are disposed of according to NLS policy and are sent to an NLS contractor for recycling.
The Library of Congress announced that a new director has been selected to replace Kurt Cylkie, who retired in February 2011. Presently the position is filled on an interim basis by Ruth Scoville. Karen Keninger will begin as Director on March 26. Previously, since 2008, Karen Keninger has served as Director of the Iowa Department for the Blind. Prior to that, she was the Regional Librarian for the Iowa Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, for 8 years.
North Carolina has a new State Librarian as of February 1, Cal Shepard, who replaced Mary Boone when she retired. Cal has previously worked in the State Library as the director of Library Development and is very familiar with the LBPH program. More recently she was a consultant working with LSTA grant funding, at Lyrasis in Atlanta Georgia.
The Friends of the Library commissioned the Triangle Radio Reading Service to produce and broadcast a 30 minute program on the Library for the Blind. The agreement established that TRRS would produce the program and would broadcast it at least twice per month. In addition they would make the program available for rebroadcast without charge, to other radio reading services in the state. TRRS will also broadcast a series of spots promoting the program and the library service. The program is also available for streaming from the Triangle Reading Service website and can be streamed or downloaded from the Library website.
More recently the program was recognized by the National Library Service as a "Best Practice" in publicizing the NLS service.
Staffing continues to be a critical issue as position vacancies and long term illnesses has plagued us. Currently we have staff vacancies in the Volunteer and Outreach unit, the Public Service Unit and the Circulation unit. Compounding the staff shortage in the Circulation Unit is the absence of the Circulation supervisor, due to a long term illness.
Interviews have been held for the Volunteer Coordinator position and the reader advisor position. The circulation unit vacancy has been prolonged as the result of the illness of the Circulation supervisor as he was the hiring supervisor for that position. Since then, I have been appointed as hiring supervisor so that I can access the online applications and get the hiring process back on track.
Division of Services for the Blind—Eddie Weaver
Mr. Weaver along with Jan Withers and Linda Harrington have met with Maria Spaulding, DHHS Deputy Secretary, about the merger. Mrs. Spaulding hopes to have a plan in place by April.
DHHS has a new Secretary, Mr. Al Delia. Mr. Delia was appointed February 1 and he will serve until a new Secretary is appointed at the end of the year. Mr. Delia is very interested in meeting our staff and he will be visiting the Rehabilitation Center and attend one of our Leadership Meetings.
Budget—DSB's part of the reductions set by DHHS is approximately $315,000. We have submitted our ideas on how to meet this reduction. DHHS has not responded to these ideas. The short session of the legislature will begin in May. This year the House and Senate budget will be completed before the Governor's budget.
There will be some restructuring of the DSB offices on the GMS campus. The vacant space will be leased.
The annual SAVVY program at the Rehabilitation Center will be held July 8-August 3. The program is for visually impaired students. It consists of 3 components: 1) College Prep, 2) World of Work, and 3) Youth Transition.
Chair Ray thanks Mr. Weaver for his efforts in attempting to make the Wi Fi in the conference room just as accessible to blind and visually impaired as it is to sighted individuals. Due to policies from DHHS's privacy and security office, each office is required to set restrictions on State-owned servers. Mr. Weaver is continuing to work with DHHS and DIRM to provide access to the Wi Fi for the devices that the visually-impaired use.
Another DHHS privacy and security requirement is to have a sign-in register at the front door. Chair Ray is concerned about the blind and visually-impaired being aware that it is there. Weaver will convey this to the DHHS privacy and security office and ask for suggestions on how to make this accessible to all people.
NC Council of the Blind—Allen Casey
Mr. Casey recently returned from a legislative seminar in Washington D.C. They were able to meet with 4 members of Congress.
Two presentations were particularly interesting: 1) Commercialization of the interstate rest areas; 2) TSA discussed a new program that people can get pre-approved and exempted from many of the security measures. The blind and visually impaired sometimes have a difficult time understanding exactly what the security officers want them to do, i.e. Guide dogs. There are inconsistencies of procedures from one airport to another airport and this makes it even more difficult.
The State Convention will be held in Greensboro, NC, September 28-30.
North Carolina Association for Education & Rehabilitation of the Blind & Visually Impaired—William Tubilleja
NCAER will have a business meeting during the Super Conference March 16-17. All new officers will be elected. The Super Conference will be a little different this year. Along with the professionals that are normally on campus, we will have a youth group from NFB that will be organizing the vendor session. We will also have two parent groups that will be conducting their own events.
NCAER and BANA (Braille Authority of North America) asked that each State Chapter to appoint a liaison for BANA. This person will be an advocate for braille and convey information from the State Chapter down to the professional level.
The Two-Year National Conference for AER will be held in Belview, Washington. Four NC AER members will be attending.
Due to the economy, "Insight", a journal that AER produces four times a year, will now only be available in a digital format and will be produced three times a year.
North Carolina Association of Workers for the Blind—Ann Avery
The next meeting of the North Carolina Association of Workers for the Blind will be held August 3-5 on the GMS campus.
GMS Alumni—Lawrence Carter
The Alumni's convention will be held August 3-5. The majority will be held at the Garner Road campus. Members will be staying at the Holiday Inn North.
Braille Literacy—Debbie Jackson
Braille Literacy is involved in 3 events: 1) Braille Read-In which was held at the Museum of Science, 2) Braille Challenge—one was held on the GMS campus and had 12 students to participate and other was held in Catawba County with 9 students participating, 3) BELL Program—This is a summer program for kids and will be held on GMS campus from July 16-27, Monday through Friday.

Harley-Davidson motorcycles are what brought Karen Walsh of Port Washington and Ron Roethel of Sheboygan together. So it was only natural that their favorite mode of transportation be part of their wedding last summer at Parkwood Lodge in Fish Creek. On July 17, the bride, groom, minister, best man and matron of honor rode their Harleys down a tree-lined "aisle," then walked on a white runner to a gazebo, where the couple exchanged vows and rings. The bride wore a white, laced-trimmed gown with a split skirt and a train-length veil she held in her lap as she drove her white 2005 Harley Heritage. The groom donned a tuxedo T-shirt, white tails and black pants and drove a red and black 2010 Harley Ultra Classic. Liturgical music played as the wedding party drove up on their bikes. But when it was time for the bride to appear, Steppenwolf's song "Born To Be Wild" from the movie "Easy Rider" began to play. "You could hear people laughing as it changed from organ music to 'Get your motor running' as I rode up," Karen said. "That's just what I wanted. I wanted it be fun." The Rev. Gregory Whelton, who rode his Harley from Sheboygan, performed the ceremony. Instead of a unity candle, the couple combined two colors of sand — black and white because Karen couldn't find orange sand — into a vase to signify the merger of two people, two families, into one. This is the second marriage for both. Karen's first husband Jim Walsh died of a heart attack on Dec. 11, 2007. Ron's first wife died of a brain aneurysm in 2002. Her name was also Karen. After the 4:30 p.m. ceremony, their guests — 53 members of the Suburban Thiensville Harley Owners Group — grilled brats and hamburgers, then gathered their bikes around the couple for a HOG wedding shot. The couple rode off in the sunset on Ron's Harley to have photographs taken along the Lake Michigan shore. "We were waving to everybody as we drove through Fish Creek," Karen said. When they returned to the lodge, friends were playing volleyball in a swimming pool. The newlyweds held hands as they jumped into the pool still wearing their wedding attire. "We took the plunge," Ron couldn't resist saying. "It was a perfect wedding and meant so much to us and our friends," Karen said. "We wanted to have this special memory." The couple had a more traditional ceremony with their families and friends on July 25 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Saukville. Karen's oldest grandson Zachary Beck, 15, walked her down the aisle. Her daughter Kelly Beck was the matron of honor, and her children Jacob, 13, and Karley, 9, were the ring bearer and flower girl.
Her daughter and son-law Kimberly and Allen Dobberfuhl and their children Jonathan, 14, Rebecca, 11, and Benjamin, 6, helped with preparations. Almost 150 guests attended a picnic reception at Karen's home, where the couple live. "We just had a bunch of fun planning both weddings," Karen said. "I think I was more nervous for the second one because it was in a church, and my family and everyone I knew was there." For their honeymoon, the couple jumped on their motorcycles, with "Just Married" signs on their saddlebags, and rode to Sturgis, S.D., for an annual HOG rally. Almost every vacation includes a Harley rally. Karen, who had ridden mopeds, learned to handle a Harley in 2002 when she and her first husband bought bikes for Harley-Davidson's 100th anniversary in 2003. Karen bought a new Harley in 2005. Three months before he died, Jim bought a new Harley that he only rode a few times. His brother-in-law now owns it. Ron has owned Harley-Davidsons for many years. Although both were members of the Thiensville HOG chapter, they didn't meet until after Karen was widowed. "I stayed away from chapter meetings for a while because I couldn't face people," Karen said. When she finally attended a meeting, Ron was one of many who expressed their condolences. "He said, 'I know how you feel because I lost my wife suddenly six years ago,'" Karen said. "The next month, we talked again, and he asked if I wanted to go for a ride. He sort of stepped in to be my riding partner for the summer. "He helped me so much going through my grief and getting back into life because he had been through it himself." That summer, the HOG group met monthly for Sunday breakfast and a 75 to 80-mile ride. Ron and Karen drove their own Harleys. One Sunday, it rained so Karen suggested Ron come to her house for a movie and pizza. "While we were sitting on the couch, he put his arm around me and my feelings went 'Poof.' The feeling was so strong between us," Karen said. Their friendship rides turned into dates. "She was so easy to talk to and be around," Ron said. "It wasn't difficult to get to know her." Friends started telling them how happy they looked together. "I got a card from a friend who wrote, 'Dear Karen, we didn't realize how sad you were until we saw how happy you are. It's so good to see that bright ear-to-ear smile again,'" Karen said. "That note meant so much to us, we still have it. The same thing happened when I would meet someone from Ron's life. "Those comments made us both realize that we had something very special together, and that others could see it, too." Her family also liked Ron. The next summer, Karen and Ron rode their bikes to the annual Thiensville HOG chapter's Door County outing. It was Karen's 65th birthday, so everyone sang "Happy Birthday." Ron, 60, then stood up, gave a little speech and asked, "Will you marry me?" Her answer was "Yes," and their friends cheered. Karen and Ron decided to get married in Door County when they received the announcement for the 2010 HOG outing and a link to the Parkwood Lodge. When Karen saw the lodge's balcony and staircase, she knew that was where she wanted to be married. When she learned about the gazebo, all doubts vanished. The plans just evolved, she said, with members of the group offering to take care of the music, flowers and photographs. One guy loaned Jim a white tuxedo jacket with tails to go with the T-shirt for his "formal" wedding attire. Karen's split-skirt bridal gown was a dress she bought 20 years ago when the style was popular. The dress was a bit tattered after its dunk in the pool, so Karen found another bridal gown at a resale shop for the church ceremony. Her long veil came from a Goodwill store. The white runner they bought for $1 at a rummage sale. The couple's more traditional church wedding also had a touch of whimsy. The guys wore tuxedo T-shirts and Ron borrowed the tails again.

In common with other SEO packages, Web CEO users also have to send their queries to Search Engines slowly in order to avoid being banned by the Search Engines, leading to excrutiatingly long reporting times.
To try to get around this, Web CEO built-in access to a common pool of Proxy Servers.
They work on the same principle as Trusted Proxies' Parallel Proxy Servers, in that you can send multiple queries in parallel. Each goes slowly to avoid bans, but by running several of them at the same time, your reporting times are speeded up.
That's the theory, but in our tests, and from what we hear from customers, it doesn't always work quite like that.
We discovered that the problem appears to be that the built-in Proxy Servers are used by so many Web CEO users simultaneously, that often they get overwhelmed and either run slowly, or fail altogether. Leading to a poor user experience and reports that don't run that much faster.
Web CEO does however allow you to add your own Proxy Servers in addition.
Hence you can subscribe to your own Private Parallel Proxy Server Plan from Trusted Proxies, and get to use your own Proxy Servers that are far more reliable.
They're designed to be fast, secure and reliable so that you can get on with the job of being an SEO and not bogged down with slow reports.
And if you use Web CEO to only check rankings on Google, Trusted Proxies' revolutionary new Big-G Stealth Extractor can slash your report times even further - send Web CEO queries at up to 600 Queries Per Minute! That's up to 200 times faster than normal!

After the Pak One-day high across the border, the attention shifts to Nagpur. The first Test against England, some believe, is heading for a foregone conclusion.
While on-the-field injuries have decapitated the English team, off-the-field problems have also dogged them. So, Marcus Trescothick, Michael Vaughan and Simon Jones have already flown back to 'ol Blighty, and Andrew Flintoff has taken over at the helm.
One would think that India have one foot across the victory line, especially on a turning track. And we all know how well the Englishmen can tackle spin.
But will there be surprises in store? Will Freddie be able to galvanise his depleted squad? Will India be a tad complacent? Well, we'll know pretty soon.
And we want to know what's on your mind. What's your highlight of the day? Start blogging. We're waiting.

By DAVID BORAKS
DAVIDSON – A Washington State developer is moving ahead with plans for a four-story, 120-unit retirement housing complex off I-77 Exit 30. Representatives of Hawthorn Retirement Group of Vancouver, Wash., were at a joint meeting of the Davidson Town and Planning boards Monday night, where they heard a variety of concerns, about everything from parking to possible tree removal to the amount of public open space.
Hawthorn has been discussing changes in the project with Davidson planners for a year, since a public planning workshop in January 2011. Monday's meeting was the first of several additional public sessions required before the project can be built.
The company is seeking approval for a master plan in what's being called the Davidson Retirement Residence Conditional Planning Area – about 4 acres on Peninsula Drive, off Davidson Gateway Drive, in the Exit 30 area. Its closest neighbors would The Boardwalk condos, also on Peninsula Drive.
The project is the latest in a series of ideas for the site, which sits on a peninsula in Lake Cornelius. In April 2007, the Town Board approved The Pinnacle, a six-story tower of 60 luxury condos called The Pinnacle proposed by local developers Chris and Ron Kennerly. But that project never got off the ground as the real estate market slumped and financing dried up for new residential developments.
County property records show the previous owners, SEQ LLC, sold the property in 2009 for $1,999,500 to 427 LLC, of Vancouver, Wash., a Hawthorn-related company.
Hawthorn and its affiliated companies operate hundreds of similar senior housing sites around the country, including Shads Landing on Prosperity Church Road in north Charlotte.
The Davidson Retirement Residence would be aimed at people "who are still ambulatory but in need of some support," the developers say. The project would provide three daily meals and other amenities, and the 120 one- and two-bedroom studio units would not have kitchens, according to Michael Fuller, of architecture firm Lenity Group, of Salem, Oregon, who is representing Hawthorn.
"Our typical residents are 70-80 years old," Mr. Fuller told the boards. About 20 percent are married, the remainder single. The project would provide an on-site bistro, a movie theater, library, and shuttle buses to local shopping and events.
He said the units would rent month-to-month and most tenants would be people from the surrounding area – within a five mile radius – who want to stay here, but need a bit of assistance.
Planning board members wondered if the parking would be adequate, both for this project and for any potential future use, in case this project closes. And one woman who said she lives at the nearby Boardwalk condos also expressed said concern over parking.
"I think it's a problem," the resident said. She said Boardwalk provides only one space per unit, though many tenants have more than one car and also entertain visitors. Residents and their guests currently use areas near the undeveloped site for overflow parking.
Mr. Fuller said most of the residents don't have cars. And she said the complex would have limited staff, coming and going only around meals and housekeeping duties.
Board member Martha Jenkins said she has been to other retirement housing sites and noted that parking is often a problem.
Several board members also asked about drawings that show a wall along the water's edge separating a public walking path from the housing. Some worried there won't be enough public space. Said planning board member Brunson Russum: "The visual cues aren't saying you're welcome."
Mr. Fuller replied that the walls were merely a suggestion and that what finally gets build would depend on further study of the site and the requirements of fire officials, who will want a road encircling the 4-story building to ensure fire trucks can reach all parts of the site. "We can work that out," Mr. Fuller said.
Over the past year, town planners have been working with the developers on a variety of issues, from the size of the building to tree removal to how wide a buffer should be required between any building and the lake. The drawings shown Monday appear to be a compromise between what's allowed on the site under the old zoning rules that apply and more recent ordinances. Although the site is grandfathered under the old buffers, town officials can ask for wider buffers under the conditional rezoning process.
While some members of the two boards appeared to be seeking changes to ensure the peninsula waterfront is inviting to all town residents, some also asked questions about a previous proposal – in the 2007 Pinnacle site plan – for a bridge across an inlet to the property to nearby Parham Park, off Lake Park Drive. Planners and the developer assured board members that any plans for that bridge have been "erased." That would ensure that access is restricted between the peninsula area and the park.
The site has gone through a variety of planning approvals since the 1980s, Town Planning Manager Lauren Blackburn said in a presentation at the start of Monday's meeting. That has ranged from office and institutional zoning adopted in 1988-89 to a master plan in 1998 that called the area the "southeast quadrant." The town board approved the Pinnacle rezoning for the six-story condos in 2007, and that was followed in 2010 by a town-wide reassessment of planning goals called the Davidson Comprehensive Plan.
The site still needs technical and environmental approvals from Mecklenburg County and then the proposed conditional master plan would come back to town officials for design review and Town Board approval.
Also Monday, the Planning Board was scheduled to discuss proposed amendments to Planning Ordinance Sections 1, 5, and 14 and to see a presentation on the Station Area Plan. Download the agenda (PDF).
The planning amendments primarily concern the type and size of structures allowed in the town's rural planning area. Another section would adjust the town's sign rules. Download a staff report on the proposed planning amendments. (PDF)

Observers Without Borders - a human rights group - said on Wednesday that President Mohamed Mursi's decision to disallow Egyptians from voting outside their registered districts will curb participation in next week's constitutional referendum.
The elections committee that is overseeing the referendum had described the amendment as an attempt to lower slanders against the transparency of the vote.
The move will deprive 10 million citizens from voting and thus lower the overall rate of participation, the state's news agency reported Youssef Abdel Khaliq, director of the group, as saying.
Abdel Khaliq explained that many Egyptians who work and live outside their home residences will not vote due the difficulty of travels, etc.

Note that the vulnerability meant that only 2^15 different keys of each
size were being generated. This is an incredibly small number, and I'm
sure many hackers have dictionaries of the entire key set now to break
in to systems with affected authorized_keys files.

Hi Jonathan! I purchased your theme and I am busy building my site – really enjoying it! However, it seems somehow that tags are not displayed for my posts – am I doing something wrong?
Hi – we don't display tags on the posts (see live preview) only categories. If you wish to place them in there simply alter the loop to include tags – it's actually designed this way – if you need help with that please use the contact form on my profile page for support as outlined in your help PDF file – many thanks!
Cool theme!
I'm having trouble replicating the first post "A PHOTOGRAPHERS DELIGHT."
When I add sliders to a post, they show up under the date field. How do I get to the sliders to be at that top of the post, like in A PHOTOGRAPHERS DELIGHT?
Hi and thanks for the purchase!
Did you choose the correct post format? That is, a Gallery Format post (as shown in your help file) with images just attached to the post – what that means is just click add media on the post and then drag / drop your images and then close the box and post) – the most important thing is choosing the post format on the right of the edit screen and selecting gallery (each one does something different, again as per the help doc).
Please note that support is provided through the contact form on my profile page as per the help PDF file, if you need further assistance.
Thanks so much and don't forget to rate the item if you get a spare moment!
Hi Jonathan, I fixed my problem by reading the other comments. Thanks.
Ah just replied
Hi Jonathan, I have a quick question for you. I purchased gutenburg and I am trying to figure out how I can make a full screen featured image background for portfolio. I was playing with style css with no luck.
z-index: -999;
min-height: 100%;
min-width: 1024px;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
Hi – unfortunately customizations are not part of support – however if I follow you correctly you would want to use a full screen background image that stretches but only on the portfolio page? If so you would edit the correct php template and check the name of the page wrapper then to that class you would offer a background image url to your image and then height and width 100% and then use cover for the background so it stretches etc.
Here is a link to a full screen background image tut:http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/
Alternatively there may well be a plugin that can help you do this.
Also, please note support is offered through my profile page contact form rather than the comments here – if you have further questions please submit using the form – thank you!
How do i set the text at the bottom, where the demo says "Interested in working with us?" As of now it is blank. Couldnt find it in the documentation, thanks.
Hi – as per your help PDF file it's a widget area – we also provide this info in the included widgets.pdf file – if you need support please use the contact form on my profile page as per the instructions.
Thank you.
this solved it, thanks for the quick reply
No problem! Don't forget to rate the item from your downloads page if you get a spare moment.
Many thanks
thanks for the kind comments!
Hi Jonathan!
There seems to be a bug for the MacBookPro with Retina display. Please test it. The logo disappears and the footer looks different.
Love the design and I'd like to buy!
Hi and thanks for your interest. I don't have a MacBook retina but I have tested on retina display with no issues. Try removing the buy bar at the top – sounds like its not loading the retina js for you.
I tested it yesterday on 2 retina's, 2 locations. I also removed the buy bar with same effect. I know it worked just fine before the last update.
I tested it with 15-inch ones.
I just purchased your Gutenberg theme and the social media icons do not appear (though if I click in the general area it does link properly). I tried visiting your plug-in site http://cr3ativ.com/plugins/social/ and it comes back with the 404 Not Found error.. is that why the icons do not appear? The [creativsocial] sort code is in place. Please advise – thank you!
Secondly, I would also like the left hand bar to be out by default.. could you please tell me what the CSS would be for that? Thanks again!
Hi – support (as detailed in your help doc) is via the contact form on my profile page – sounds like you are running on godaddy who do not have support for SVG set on your server – which it should be – therefore I can give you the code to drop in your htaccess file once you contact me please.
The 404 error is because I haven't setup the page yet.
The icons are served from your server inside the plugin – calling from my server for every user would be suicide
Many thanks
I'm having problems with the footer. I've copied the widget text provided in the documents (amending the image links ofc) but it leaves me with a large white gap.
I don't get a seamless background of colour as in the demo.
Would you please just go over the footer instructions and mention how it needs to be added.
Hi sound like you just need to adjust #page_wrapper in style.css. It has a margin bottom of 500px. You can use firebug in the Firefox browser to adjust and then make that change in style.css.
If you need further assistance/advice please use the contact form on my profile page with a link to your site.
Hi Jonathan,
your demo does indeed show the Logo and other pictures for a second and then they disappear on the 15" retina display. Maybe you'll have to define @2x images for that. Is it possible to add retina pics to your site or can you fix this somehow? The theme seems like a must-have to me
FYI the images re-appear when you scale down the size of the browser window. Strange!
Hi – we already define 2x images, we even contacted the retina.js author who doesn't know why macbook retinas have that issue. You could just use @2x images and then the retina.js wouldn't need to load. That would be my only suggestion as it's a single device only and at this point no actual bug can be found I'm afraid.
Hey – Looking to buy this theme and wondering if the bright orange colour theme can be changed or removed? (Particularly the small thin line at the top). Thanks!
Yes as per the item description you have a color picker – thanks!
Can it be removed as well?
sure – just edit the css and display: none;
Where can I go to change the color of the orange slider tab on the top left for the sidebar?
I changed the accent color in "Theme Options" – but it didn't change that little square tab with the three lines.
Hi and thanks for the purchase – as it's just an image you can simply change the contact_tab.gif in the img folder of the theme to whatever you would like there – obviously the PSD files have this inside of them in case you want to use that as a starting point or reference.
Many thanks and if you require further support please use the contact form on my profile page as per the support section of the help PDF file.
Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for making this work of art. This golden ratio thing really works, and your simple but beautiful design is really distinctive between many other obviously over-designed WP themes. Cool.
Question: on your demo homepage, the background of the main text is light grey. How can I let that happen too, or have a background in a different color? (right now everything on the home page of my client is light yellow: www.michaelmassage.nl)
Thank you for answering!
Cheers, Ayla
Hi Ayla, we use a forum for our support questions now, please visit here: http://cr3ativ.ticksy.com/. You will need to enter your purchase code, but after that we can assist you better on the forum with screen shots etc etc.
Will there be an update coming out soon, to support retina displays?
With my site – when you visit it on a Retina Display – the logo image disappears.
Hey Chris – this is actually an issue with only the Retina devices and css transitions – if I remove those transitions from the theme then everyone will suffer – that doesn't seem fair
Therefore if you would like to use the support forum I can tell you what you should remove from the css and things should be good on your site – basically for some weird reason the the retina devices (not all and not all the time) have issues when we transition in the logo in a css fade while trying to run the retina.js I believe.
I will not be updating the file as Retina just doesn't account for a large enough percentage of buyers and users at this point – maybe in the future they will fix this, or I will update.
I signed up at that support forum, but I don't see any option to create a ticket about the Gutenberg theme.
Could you please just post what I need to remove… here so that everyone can see it that are having a similar problem?
We only handle support questions via the support forum so we can pass screen shots etc. Once you sign up and log in you are given a screen that prompts you to open a ticket, but you need to verify your purchase first. Here's a link to that http://cr3ativ.ticksy.com/faq/824
How can I change all the fonts to serif instead of sans-serif?
Hi and thanks for the purchase – you would edit the style.css as normal, and change all the font families – it's actually a google font not just a sans-serif font – many tuts on the web can assist you with coding css and how font families and font stacks work if you're not experienced.
Many thanks
Is there no quick way to add something to css to overwrite everything?
You can use the custom css box in the admin panel.
Although swapping out a font family in the style.css should take your computer about 2 seconds – find > replace.
I love the look of this theme, but I am not big on the intro animation, is there a way to turn off that fade-in?
It is really the only thing keeping me for purchasing right now.
Yes, this is done with CSS transitions and they are located in style.css – you could just remove this from the css.
How can we disable the Blog part of the Alternate Homepage template but keep the Projects part?
You would need to edit the alt home page PHP template and remove the section you no longer wish to display – we comment the code well so you should find it quite easily.
Hope that helps!
Hey! I love the theme. Before I buy, though, I have a question. I really like the grey-ish background under posts. Is there a way to set a custom color background for pages?
Hi and thanks for the comment and question. We actually have a page color and then 2 colors for alternating posts – all set in the style.css so very easy to change – the color picker in the theme options provides an easy way to change the red / orange accent color also.
If you decide to buy and need to know what to change in the style sheet (or to place in the custom css panel in the theme options) just shoot a support ticket and I will help you get this done.
Many thanks
Does the page color cover the logo/nav section too? I want that to remain white, but normal page contents to be set on a different color.
That can be colored however you want also – it is it's own div section so however you wish it to look really.
Ah, nice. Thanks. I'll be buying today most likely.
I'm really enjoying the theme thus far and it's nearly complete. One question: can you please point me to where I can delete the "our latest work" and "our latest articles" sections from the alternative homepage? I don't want that information to get gathered and appear at all; I just want the page to end after the three columns of text.
Hi and thanks for the purchase and kind comment
You will need to open the alternative home page PHP template and remove the loops from the template – we comment the code very well so finding the sections to remove should be a simple process.
Hi Jonathan I love the look of your theme. The only thing that is making me hesitant about purchasing is the layout of the Portfolio page. At the moment it's in a blog-like layout, where I would prefer to have thumbnails. I'm just wondering if it's anything that you're considering on an update, or if it would be an easy work around (I'm thinking not!). Great work though – I hope I can make it work for me. THank you Vicky
Thanks for the kind comments but that was our I te toon by design so we have no plans to change the layout of the portfolio page.

Spring is Here
The weather forecast for the weekend has a lot of wet and cold in it, but so do most of March and April. Already looking ahead to those months, the Pierson softball and baseball teams are helping the Little Leaguers get ready for their season, with player clinics at Pierson High School starting this Sunday.
Incoming varsity softball coach Melissa Edwards and her Lady Whalers will start Sunday's session, working with Little League softball players 7-and-up from 1 to 2 p.m. and those 9-and-up from 2 to 3 p.m.
Little League coaching coordinator Jeff Warne will be leading the baseball sessions this week, using much of the indoor gear the Whalers will train with in a few weeks. Baseball players 7-and-up are welcome to work out from 3 to 4 p.m. and the players 9-and-up are expected to go from 4 to 5 p.m.
Little League player registration will be available at the clinics and board members will be on hand to answer questions parents might have. Registration forms are also available online at sagharborlittleleague.org.
Anyone interested in coaching the Little Leaguers this spring is asked to attend the clinics. A coaching clinic has been scheduled for Sunday, February 1 from 2:30 to 5 p.m. Attendance at this special clinic is a prerequisite for all managers and coaches, as is CPR and AED safety certification.
The Little League player clinics will continue throughout the winter with sessions set for January 24, February 1 and 8, and March 8 and 15, all in the Pierson gym. Completed registration forms will also be accepted at the clinics.
13-and-up Baseball at SYS
Whaler varsity baseball coach Sean Crowley will be leading a series of wintertime workouts for baseball players 13-and-up at SYS. The workouts will make use of the facility's batting cages, arena court and pitching lanes.
The first of those workouts is set for this Sunday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. with subsequent sessions January18 and 25, February 1 and 8, and March 1 and 8. There is a $90 fee to participate in all the sessions and a $20-a-day drop-in option.
Coach Crowley has also asked Dr. Steve Petruccelli, a local chiropractor and former collegiate pitcher, to provide specialized training and video analysis for players interested in those additional services.
Early Tops in Track
Ross boys' winter track coach Jim Kinnier has his team running in tomorrow's League Relay races at Suffolk Community College in Brentwood. Last Sunday those boys competed in their last crossover meet on that same track, Stephen Early winning his section of the 300-meter race in 43.1 seconds.
Early was also a top finisher in the 55-meter dash, coming in second at 7.6 seconds in his heat. Teammate Mike Remkus also finished second in his 55-meter heat, posting a time of 8.7 seconds. Peter Skerys ran the 1600-meter race in six minutes 17.7 seconds.
Coach Kinnier, who is Pierson math teacher and coach of the Class D champion Pierson girls' cross-country team, is pleased with his team's performances, pointing out, "They are improving almost every time."

A trio of college buddies is making a go of it with a cologne called Moonshine. mkm3 / Shutterstock.com
A little Moonshine goes a long way, or at least it's starting to look that way for a trio of Southern boys who went to the University of Georgia together and then launched a product called, well, Moonshine.
But don't get your hopes up thinking these three entrepreneurs are bottling a 21st Century version of 19th Century hooch. This Moonshine isn't made to drink. It's made to be worn.
Charlie Holderness of Greensboro, North Carolina, and his fraternity brothers Colin Newberry of Austin and Matt Moore of Nashville launched the cologne line last year with the idea that they could bottle the scent of the South. And it wouldn't smell like something pushed by Justin Bieber.
Turns out, plenty of people like the idea, according to Katie Arcieri of the Triad Business Journal in Greensboro. She writes:
It has garnered headlines on CNN, a write-up in the September 2012 issue of Southern Living magazine and generated about $170,000 in sales during the past year. The friends are now working on a deal with the Charlotte-based Belk Inc. that will place Moonshine on the shelves of 31 stores on Nov. 15 and 272 locations by Jan. 1.
"That was the tipping point," Holderness, a commercial account executive for Sean Dunn Insurance in Greensboro, said of the Belk deal. "That's going from junior varsity to varsity."
Indeed, the Belk deal will launch Moonshine to its next stage of growth. Holderness is now working to find a logistics company to handle distribution for the cologne, which is made in Grasse, France, but bottled, labeled and distributed from Greensboro. Those duties are handled either at Holderness' home office or in a 10,000-square-foot space owned by a family friend.
The three college buddies decided to get into the startup game after growing dissatisfied with the current state of the men's cologne market. "They are all about who is hot right now," Holderness said. "We're not really into that."
So they made a deal with the French perfume company Galimard to come up with a concoction—with notes of tobacco, gin, patchouli, and black pepper—they thought represented the fierce independence of the South. Then they did what any good upstart would do and market tested the Moonshine by getting women in bars to take a whiff.
Next on the radar, a women's fragrance called Speakeasy.

It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child.
At the Elite 25 Travis Outlaw basketball camp held this week at the Starkville Sportsplex, that saying could not be more true as a whole host of volunteers came together to teach area children the game of basketball and life. It's an idea that Outlaw came up with about three years ago while talking with his brother John Outlaw Jr.

PlayStation Vita spin-off Assassin's Creed III: Liberation could be heading to other platforms, a leaked selection of Ubisoft logos suggests.
The image, claiming to be logos from existing and upcoming Ubisoft digital titles, first popped up on Chinese forum A9VG (via NeoGAF). Liberation is shown as Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD.
Liberation was released on the PlayStation Vita alongside the launch of Assassin's Creed III last year. The game's protagonist, Aveline de Grandpre, will also feature in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, via additional content exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.
Ubisoft says Assassin's Creed: Liberation sales have reached almost 600,000.
Also shown was Assassin's Creed: Pirates, suggesting a potential tie-in app for the piracy-themed Assassin's Creed IV.
Rabbids Big Bang, Endwar Online, Rayman: Fiesta Run, Valiant Hearts: The Great War, Poptropica: Forgotten Islands, and Just Dance Auto Dance were also shown, alongside previously announced titles Trials Frontier and Child of Light.
GameSpot has approached Ubisoft for comment.

The game of Canasta and several other games developed from this popular form of Rummy. The distinctive feature of 500 Rum is that each player scores the value of the sets he melds, in addition to the usual points for going out and for cards caught in other players' hands. 500 Rum is one of the finest games in the Rummy family, and it deserves to have an even bigger following than it does.
Two to eight persons may play, but the game is best played with three, four, or five people. Four may play as partners (see Persian Rummy, p. 142).
A standard 52-card pack is used. Five or more players should use a double pack.
Ace (high or low), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, A.
An ace counts as 15 points, except in the sequence 3, 2, A, when it counts as 1. Face cards count as 10 points each. Other cards count their pip value.
The players draw for deal, low dealing first. Ace is the lowest card in the draw. The dealer shuffles, and the player to the right cuts.
The dealer completes the cut and deals seven cards to each player (except in the two-hand game, in which each player receives 13 cards).
To score points by laying down and laying off cards as in regular Rummy, in matched sets of three or four, and in sequences of three or more cards of the same suit.
The undealt portion of the cards, placed face down, forms the stock; the top card is turned face up and is placed beside the stock as the upcard to start the discard pile. The discard pile should be slightly spread, so that players can readily see all the cards in it. Each player in turn, beginning with the player to the left of the dealer, may draw either the top card of the stock or any card from the discard pile. There are two conditions when drawing a card from the discard pile: 1) the player must take all the cards above the selected card and 2) the card so drawn must immediately be used, either by laying it down in a set or by laying it off on a set already on the table. The remaining cards taken with the discard may be melded in the same turn or simply added to the player's hand.
Each player in turn, after drawing but before discarding, may lay down any matched set or may lay off any card that matches a set already on the table. Cards that are laid off are kept on the table in front of the player. Sequences may not "go round the corner"; thus, A, K, Q or A, 2, 3 may be melded, but not K, A, 2.
When any player gets rid of all his cards, the play immediately ends. Each player's score is then figured as follows: The player is credited with the point value of all cards that he has showing on the table. From this figure is subtracted the point value of all cards remaining in his hand. The difference is added or subtracted from his score, as the case may be. For example: If the cards he has shown total 87 points, and the cards left in his hand total 90 points, 3 points are subtracted from his previous net score.
The first player whose score reaches +500 wins the game and collects from each opponent the difference between their final scores. If two or more players reach 500 on the same hand, the one with the highest score is the winner.
When a player lays off a card, he keeps it on the table in front of him for convenience in scoring later, but must state to what showing combination it is being added. Thus, if J, 10, 9 are on the table, along with the set Q, Q, Q, a player putting down the Q must state to which set it belongs: If the player makes the queen part of the diamond sequence, any player may later add K to that sequence.

In case you missed it...
WOW! Somebody get this guy a cape and an alter ego. Maybe Barack and Nancy can do that since the stimulus was apparently a one-man show. This begs the question, what else what else would we have, but for Harry Reid?......
We'd have one less exception to "'i' before 'e' except after 'c'".
We'd be able to say "Mormons are actually really awesome...but for Harry Reid."
The average pitch of the human male would be 30% lower
We'd have one less narcissist in the senate who thinks their reflection should be the tie breaking vote.
We'd have a chance in hell that bifocals could become cool
We'd have a senator that support the troops better than the jock strap he wears as a gender diversion
Lost jobs would be bad unless it was his.
Obama's "negro dialect" would be known as his "voice."
Searchlight wouldn't have to claim such a dimwit.
Sharon Angle would be the most feminine person in the race.

If you belong to the same category as I am -that of the 'very weighty'- you know losing weight is not an easy feat.
It is a lot easier adding weight but where the challenge is, is in shedding it when it becomes obvious you need to do something about it or when the family doctor starts preaching it.
Although for some it is different but the bulk of weighty people today are that way as a result of the kind of foods taken in and the irregularity of the intake. However the 500 calorie diet helped set me on my way around it.
Fast Food Trap
With the abundance of the take-it-on-the-go foods in our environment, the simplest ways to cut down one's weight is to watch what they take in. So many foods today have high calorie content. Sadly these foods are the ones that are most available and easiest to reach to. Most of them require little or no time to prepare or are most available options for lunch. These high calorie containing foods are what is chiefly responsible for excessive fats and ever so often we are admonished to keep away from them as much as possible. For people who still like having a nice dessert after their meal, luckily there is something like low calorie desserts.
Watch Your Calorie Intake
The first step hence for the weighty or obese person in watching his calorie intake is to simply cut the amount taken in per meal. What this simply means is that this individual would consciously reduce the amount of calories in his meals. This of course is not an easy feat but for the weighty person, his desire to protect himself from the risks of obesity and weightiness should encourage him to undertake the program. They usually are starting out on the 500 calorie diet. What this means is that this individual starts out on meals with a calorie restriction of 500 calories. There are of course other diet restrictions but the 500 calorie diet plan is easier and is great for starters.
You should know there are approximately 3500 calories in one pound (of body fat). This means if you burn 2000 calories per day, and take in only 500 daily, then you burn 1500 each day. For five days you would burn 7500 calories more than you consumed, and therefore lose about 2.1 pounds.
It is possible you will lose a couple of pounds more because you will also lose a considerable amount of water and other non-caloric mass from the food you are not eating; Once you return to a normal, healthy eating plan, this weight comes back. Also, eating too few calories promotes muscle loss, which will lower your metabolic rate in the long run. To prevent the loss of muscle, it is absolutely vital to do some strength exercises during this time.
Calorie Restriction
Those undertaking this popular diet might not feel the restrictions in the calories contained in their meals because unlike the 1400 calorie diet or 2000 calorie diet, this is minimal. The diet plan is simple and cuts off excesses and it is always important people wanting to lose some pounds start from this. That means if at all they want to achieve that goal of calorie restriction. This is because the dependence on the wrong kinds of foods must be gradually eliminated if it must be effective. A good way to lower your daily calorie intake is eating Diet soups once or twice a day
500 calorie diet right for you?
There are a dozen reasons why every weighty person must embrace the 500 calorie diet menu; in fact the reasons are endless. Obesity opens the door for a number of ailments and diseases especially to the internal organs and in truth it is not an easy feat completely quitting foods one has spent the past couple of months or even years eating. Most times people make such resolutions only to turn back to them after a short time. This plan is a gradual but effective diet plan to help this weighty or obese person start out a true road to recovery. Try the best low calorie diet to remain strong and well for the long term.

IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

The dapper Spotted Sandpiper makes a great ambassador for the notoriously difficult-to-identify shorebirds. They occur all across North America, they are distinctive in both looks and actions, and they're handsome. They also have intriguing social lives in which females take the lead and males raise the young. With their richly spotted breeding plumage, teetering gait, stuttering wingbeats, and showy courtship dances, this bird is among the most notable and memorable shorebirds in North America.
Though you may think of the beach as the best place to see a sandpiper, look for Spotted Sandpipers alone or in pairs along the shores of lakes, rivers, and streams. Once in flight, watch for their stuttering wingbeats, or look for them teetering along rocky banks or logs.
