How to Complete a Transformation Contest (I Did It!!)
So this is less of a "how-to" and more of a "I-freaking-did-it" post. And this is even less of a "I'm-gonna-win" and more of a "I-made-it-through" post. I think you're getting the picture. But you can still pick up some tips from my journey. Don't worry, I'm not going to write Day 1: I cried for lack of cheese. No, no, but an overall view of the contest and my journey through it. Let me start by saying that I, an already-fit personal trainer, dropped 6.5% body fat and 10 pounds. Anyone can do anything they put their mind to. That's what I love about humans, we can always adapt to become stronger, better than what we are. This may be a long post, but it for me it was a long journey (that I can't believe is over). You can skip to the end for tips or take a few minutes and read the whole thing.
If you aren't sure what contest I'm talking about, read this briefly. I completed a 6-week (plus a 10-day cleanse before that) "Strong to the COR" transformation contest. It was sponsored by Cellucor, a popular supplement company. The grand prizes for one male and female are 10k a piece along with supplements, apparel, and a free cruise. Sounds pretty nice. But I wasn't in to win. I know that sounds bad. I was in it to win it for myself and complete it all the way for myself, but I had an inkling I wasn't going to win as other females came in weighing 200lbs with 30%+ body fat percentage. Much easier for them to complete a transformation than a 135lbs, 20/22% body fat percentage gal like me. And 6-weeks isn't a proper time for a true transformation, most contests include bulking and cutting that consist of maybe 6 months. But here I am, coming in at a fit weight and body fat to prove to myself that I can do anything.
And I made it to the very last day. Despite vacations (ice cream, you are my downfall), dinners out, and moving, I stayed on track for the most part. Sure, I did have ice cream in Iowa on vacation, sure I did have a slice of homemade pizza, but I stuck to my macros. And I killed it with my workouts. For the last 3 weeks of contest, I used Ashley Conrad's 21-Day Clutch Cut. Basically, shredding workouts in addition to the clean-eating I was doing. Her program consisted of HIIT (high-intensity interval training) that was slowly built up (last week was awesome torture) and strength circuits to keep the heart rate up and the body strong. She put in rest days, but I wasn't so good at listening to those. I always had to do something, even if it was a trail run with the dog we were taking care of.
Around Week 3, right around/before I started the 21-Day Cut, I started to feel not as focused, not as dedicated. I was still killing it with the workouts, but my eating habits were slipping. I was still sticking to my perfected clean-eating, but I started to pick at bad foods. That's my bad habit. My friends all know this—I pick at things. Which is one of the reasons I wrote this post. After I slapped myself into shape, I really buckled down with the eating. Sure I'd pick here and there once in awhile, but when I saw Hope Solo diving across my screen, I knew that it wasn't worth it to mess around. Chris always says, "Keep your eye on the prize." And I did, and it helped. I started seeing results, my back became beastly and my abs visible.
The last week and a half was my super clean-eating, low-carb, high-fat week. This was probably the most monotonous with meals, but I was okay with it. I was in it to win it (not ACTUALLY win it…but you know what I mean!), and there was no room to mess around. I went longer on my circuits, harder on my HIIT, and cleaner with my nutrition. Peeling hard-boiled eggs became my bane. My meals normally consisted of tuna, avocado, eggs, nuts, protein shakes and hot sauce. And I made it work. No actual carbs, but I would get them from things like vegetables and such. I really started seeing the results by this time and I turned in to a lean, mean egg-white-eating machine. And I made it all the way to the very last day, even though we were moving the last 2 days that made it tough to squeeze workouts in.
I couldn't have done it without support. Every step of the way, Chris was there to push me on and catch me if I fell. He was a great coach (even though he never thinks so). He provided me with meal plans and workouts before Ashley Conrad, and supported and encouraged me to just finish that last circuit. It helps to live with your coach, and he really made the difference for me. As did my friends, and family (whenever I talked to my dad, he would cheer me on and say he's behind me the whole way)–jeez, I have a great ring of support. I would text my friends in anguish during my workouts and they would tell me to finish that last set, that I would regret if I didn't and they would send me strange picture messages through emotes (COUGH—Kathleen).
What did I do on Monday, the day of contest completion? WENT CRAZY. Just kidding…kinda. My stomach had felt a little weird from eating bread the night before (carb loading to fill out my muscles for pictures), so I didn't feel like having a huge breakfasts. I greased myself up, did some exercises to pump up my muscles, and Chris photographed me in my poses. We went to Spruce Confections, our favorite bakery, and got warm croissants. Mmmm! I can't describe how good it was to have one.
I went through the day not feeling great after eating a brownie, some yogurt, and peanut butter. I shocked my system a little too much. Once I ate some Wahoo's tacos, I felt better—real food helps, I think. For dinner, my cousins, my cousin's boyfriend, Chris, and I went to our favorite Italian place in town to get a wonderful dinner. We were seated outside and just had a great time—I got pesto gnocchi. However, I couldn't fill up too much because Chris had challenged me that I couldn't eat a pint of Glacier cookies and cream ice cream. Who are we kidding, does he know who I am? So after that Italian feast, we headed to Glacier and I finished the pint in 12 minutes. That's right, I always make my Powell family line proud (we are known for our love of ice cream). Not to say I felt great afterwards (rather, I'm still feeling the effects of dairy, which I hadn't had for at least a month, sitting in my stomach 12 hours after), but it was fun to finish and celebrate with family and friends.
So what the heck should you learn from this? How to complete a transformation contest
Find a support network. Whether that means your partner, your friends, your family, even online—find that support group. On bodybuilding.com (where this contest was hosted), there was a forum for all of us doing the contest, and there were loads of supportive people all helping each other to make it to the end. You may think this is all about your body, but you need support to keep going.
Find a meal plan that works for you. I happen to enjoy nuts, eggs, tuna, and avocado—but maybe you don't. It was tough for me being a vegetarian on a bodybuilder's diet (it's much easier with meat), but I made it work. If you aren't sure what to eat, search online for resources, ask a trainer, nutritionist, or someone you know that's into the fitness industry.
Don't only do cardio. This is a transformation. It's not just about weight loss. You want to build muscle. If I had no muscle, I would look pretty horrible. My muscle is what makes me look good, what makes me stand out, and look strong. And I am strong Stronger than I look too. You do cardio, you're just going to run your butt literally off and have no structure to your body. Incorporate strength training and cardio.
Don't starve yourself. I know you want to win. I know you want to see a difference in your body. Starving yourself is not the way to go, see the point above: you won't build muscle, you won't look good. Don't become a stick, it's not very attractive, and people who lead transformation contests do not appreciate it. They appreciate muscle, definition, toning, and HEALTHY effort.
Give yourself some breathing room. It's okay not to be on the ball every single second—especially if it's a 6-week contest! I wish we could all be paid to do these contests, but we're real people with real lives and real work. Things come up, you may not be able to hit every set of that workout you wanted or you may have to scarf something down on the go. Maybe you go to a family reunion and can't resist Grandma's strawberry pie—it's okay. One cheat meal isn't going to kill you. Breathe, and continue on.
Count your macros. Working out is important to build muscle and lose fat—of course! It's a big part of this transformation process. However, without proper nutrition, all that hard work isn't going to go too far. Check this post out to learn more about macronutrients and comment if you have more questions. If you count your calories, carbohydrates, fats, and protein, you will be fine in the eating realm. It comes down to pure science, and there's something beautiful about that. Stick to your macros and you will see a difference.
Keep your eye on the prize. Like Chris said—this is so important. Want to pick at the brownies you just made for everyone? Keep your eye on the prize. Weigh decisions. Is it actually worth it to eat that piece of cake or lick of frosting? Probably not. Reject those animal impulses and use that willpower muscle. It's my favorite muscle.
Measure yourself every week. I might've thought I wasn't making any progress, but then I had my fellow trainers measure me and I was seeing the body fat drop. We are hardest on ourselves so get the real hard facts of the progress you are making through your hard work.
Focus on the positive. This could be one of the most important things. I'm very hard on myself, and sometimes I can get negative with how hard I'm working. This is bad. We don't want to be negative about ourselves because it will lower our motivation level. Look at the positive things that you've done—you actually got to your workout, you resisted that candy, and you are staying on track. Don't look at the negative—it's not going to help anyone.
So here I am, at the end of 6 weeks, transformed and happy. I'm proud of myself for going all the way and happy with my results. It has felt like a long journey, and I learned new things about myself. But now I'm wondering…what's next? Compete in a contest to stay hungry and fit!

I have been dreaming of a dog of my own ever since I was a child. I felt an irresistible attraction for this beautiful breed, and not only for the physical appearance, but also for its magnificent attitude, wonderful character, so powerful and yet so tender. My dream finally came true on my 19th birthday, with the purchase of my first Alaskan Malamute, Carlos. He's all I could ever ask for, from a dog, and much more.
I truly believe the Malamute is not a dog for any person, but only for those who can appreciate a dog that is strong, yet affectionate, independent, yet dependent of his pack, dignified, yet a true clown, a dog that will not overwhelm you, but will always be there for you. Yes, he may get into trouble, yes, he may ruin your garden, yes, he may blow his coat until your vacuum goes nuts, but he will bring so much joy in your life, he will love you, and make you laugh, and make you proud. To be honest, the only problem I see in living with a Malamute is that… usually you want more than one! Well, that's how it happened to me too.

Congregation Collects Marlboro Miles, Decorates ChurchMar 9th, 2009 | Category: Church
WABASH, IN. – Bake sales. Car washes. Bingo. Churches for decades have relied on tried and true methods of fundraising when tithes and offerings left vision-thick congregations in a lurch. But Wabash Christian Center has taken a unique approach to supplying ministerial needs. Eschewing fundraising altogether, the 20-year-old fellowship collects Marlboro Miles to outfit its church.

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with JOHNSON'S® Baby and Latina Bloggers Connect. However, all statements and opinions are my own.
We all want the absolute best for our children. Since becoming a mother seven years ago, I have whispered in my little ones' ears countless promises. I have promised to always love them, care for them, and give them the greatest experiences we can. Hubby and I want our three boys to know we promise them hands-on opportunities by offering them extra curricular activities and sports of their choice. We promise to be there when they have questions and we promise to guide them as needed when they are discovering and learning.
Many times, we need others' help to give and do our very best to our children. Everything from where they attend school to what they eat to what products we use on their little bodies should be the best! JOHNSON'S® Baby has always been there for moms and have recently changed their formulas on their products to help parents make the best choices for their children.
As the new products hit shelves, they are launching a heartfelt campaign called "Your Promise is Our Promise" as a way to express their ongoing commitment to moms. Just as moms make promises to their children, JOHNSON'S® Baby also makes promises so moms don't have to worry about the products they use on their little ones.
To share this commitment, they have created an inspiring story through the "Our Promise" video, which can be viewed on YouTube (and here!), as an open letter to moms showing their scientists and their families coming together to build an origami stork mobile, symbolizing the delivery of their promise to always be there and listen to moms.
Many of you know how much I love Japan. Diego, my first, was born in Tokyo! I loved this video because I know about the Japanese legend: folding 1,000 origami cranes will result in a wish granted and a promise fulfilled, which is thought to be a big labor of love. JOHNSON'S® Baby's decision to change their products was their labor of love for moms and babies.
The JOHNSON'S® Baby Family is excited to introduce you to their seven newly reformulated products:
○ JOHNSON'S® Baby HEAD-TO-TOE® Wash
○ JOHNSON'S® Baby Lotion
○ JOHNSON'S® Baby Shampoo
○ JOHNSON'S® Baby Shampoo & Conditioner for Thick and Curly Hair
○ JOHNSON'S® Baby Shampoo & Conditioner for Thin and Straight Hair
○ JOHNSON'S® Baby Shampoo with Calming Lavender
○ JOHNSON'S® Baby Soothing Vapor Baby Bath
Isn't it wonderful? Fulfilling promises are amazing all around. What do you promise to your babies? Please share!

This is another delicious recipe I've adapted from Marja Vongerichten's The Kimchi Chronicles. I never learned to appreciate coleslaw American-style. I think it tends to be too sweet, creamy bordering on slimy. And then, on top of that, sometimes it comes with another surprise flavor: pineapple. Ugh! More sweetness. I like the ingredients individually, but when mixed this way I just can't take it.
So here is an alternative to the traditional kind: Korean style. Try this recipe. You won't go back to the sweet type. Plus this one's healthier.
Instead of dressing it with buttermilk, mayo or another store bought cream sauce, the bright flavors here get enlightened by the sourness of rice vinegar as well as lime and lemon juices. Okay, I'll admit that there is a touch of sweetness, too, but only a touch. This sort of reminded me of fattoush or Thai som tam salad.
Note: Because this salad does not use any oil, it needs to sit room temperature for about 15 minutes for flavors to meld: a must.
Korean 'slaw
6 cups Napa cabbage, julienned
1 cup white daikon, julienned
1 carrot, julienned
½ medium red onion cut into thin half-moon slices
2 scallions, green and white parts, cut into thin rounds
½ cup chopped cilantro
1 small Asian pear, julienned
½ tsp sugar
1 tsp coarse salt
2 tbsp rice vinegar
Juice of a juicy lime
Juice of a juicy lemon
Place cut vegetables in a non reactive bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients. Toss to coat. Let it rest for 15 minutes. Toss occasionally. Serve as a side dish.

Beats Per Minute: Rihanna, Britney Spears team up for S&M (Remix)
April 13, 2011 at 2:04 p.m.
Updated April 12, 2011 at 11:13 p.m.
By Joe Friar
Two of the biggest pop superstars have come together by demand. Rihanna and Britney Spears collaborate on Rihanna's "S&M" (Remix). Monday morning on 95 KVIC, we had the world premiere the new RiRi/Britney collaboration, just 24 hours after Rihanna teased her followers on Twitter with "a sexy collab comin' your way supa dupa soon.it's Britney!!!"
Spears then responded on her Twitter page with "You're such a tease! I like it, I like it."
You can listen to the remix on my website, www.joefriar.com, or the 95 KVIC Facebook page. The whole Rihanna/Britney team up started when RiRi asked her 4.4 million Twitter followers which artist they'd most like to see her collaborate with. The overwhelming answer was Britney Spears.
The two are happy with the result and Rihanna called Britney "gangsta" while Spears responded, "You ain't so bad yourself, honey."

Have you noticed that many of the small boutiques that sell handmade are low in inventory the last couple of weeks in December? As a maker with crafts to sell, it's to your advantage.
Many indiependent retailers respond to the media's fear-based projections by ordering light this season in anticipation of slow sales due to ever increasing online buying. But the trend of discerning consumers searching for unique, handcrafted, meaningful gifts is catching retailers unprepared with insufficient supply and no time to re-order handmade gifts. Last minute shoppers are too late to order from Etsy sellers in time for Christmas and shop owners are missing out on revenue if they don't have inventory.
This is where YOU come in. Boutiques and galleries that may Continue reading

The East Gadsden Jaguars were in action last Friday night as they traveled to Starke to take on the Bradford Tornadoes.
Bradford took the early 3-0 lead after a big play set up a Tyler Cubbedge field goal but the Jags answered quickly when freshmen Jarrell Reynolds returned the ensuing kickoff a school record 89 yards for a touchdown. It was only the second kickoff return for a score in school history. The East Gadsden defense then held and went on a scoring drive capped by a Wiley Williams 5-yard touchdown run.
The Robert F. Munroe volleyball team rallied from an opening match loss to Altha in the Class A District 2 semifinals on Tuesday before a boisterous and supportive student body. The chanting, clapping and all-around revelery kept the Altha team on edge and prevented them from communicating – a fundamental very important in volleyball.
The Bobcats of Robert F. Munroe and the Warriors of Aucilla Christian met in their annual slugfest last Friday night, with the Bobcats prevailing 27-20 in a runaway that was almost too close for comfort.
Both teams arrived with sub-.500 records and rosters weakened by injuries. The Warriors had soundly defeated the Bobcats in the prior two meetings and looked to maintain their current dominance in the series that has spanned four decades.
In the mood for a good scare? Do you like to slink about in graveyards? Do you enjoy seances and hanging out with ghouls, ghosts and other scary creatures? Do things that go bump in the night make your skin crawl with delight?
If you answered yes to any of the above, head on out to Terror on 12: Castle Dread.
Castle Dread, located on Highway 12 in Havana, is the brainchild of Debbie Tanner, who dreamed up the haunted attraction 18 years ago.
A horse abandoned at the Gadsden County Animal Shelter on Oct. 10 has been named Horse A while authorities try to sort out what happened to the malnourished animal.
"The vet said this is a clear case of neglect and cruelty. This is one of the worse cases he has seen," said County Administrator Johnny Williams. He said the county will investigate how the animal came to be in that condition and turn the findings over to the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office or the state attorney.
Homecoming for the Robert F. Munroe Day School Bobcats saw a stadium full of fans and alumni, the crowning of Adrianne Woodward as the queen and a pep band that kept the spirits high from start to finish. It was a grand atmosphere and a great night for football and reunions, especially the RFM Class of 1989. There was only one problem: the victory went to the visitors from Bronson.
The final veterinary report on "Horse A," the mare abandoned at the Gadsden County Animal Shelter, has been submitted to Johnny Williams, Gadsden County administrator, who said the results are unsettling.
"The final results are that there is no disease that could have caused what happened to the animal. It has been determined that it is a case of neglect and possibly cruelty to animals," Williams said after receiving the report.
The Gadsden County Health Department has received H1N1 in the mist (intranasal) and injection for 2009 and currently has 700 doses.
The health department will offer the vaccine free of charge to those in the first priority group (see below) at walk-in clinic at 278 LaSalle Leffall Drive in Quincy Oct. 24-25 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The live intranasal vaccine is approved for use in healthy (no high risk medical conditions), non-pregnant persons ages 2 through 49 and at this time will only be offered to those in the first priority group.

Blaze Knuckled Under by Barnes
June 26, 2007 - California League (CalL) - Lancaster JetHawks News Release
(LANCASTER, CA) - After blowing teams away with offense repeatedly over the homestand, the JetHawks proved they can win the low-scoring games as well. John Barnes pitched a strong six innings and the bullpen hurled three scoreless frames as the JetHawks defeated the Bakersfield Blaze 5-3 Tuesday night at Clear Channel Stadium. The JetHawks have now won four in a row and 14 of their last 17 games.
Starting pitching has been excellent for the JetHawks throughout the homestand. Barnes effort marks four consecutive quality starts. The bullpen chipped in as well, with Kevin Guyette hurling two scoreless innings for a hold and Chad Rhoades pitching a perfect ninth to earn his ninth save. The three pitchers combined to allow just four hits.
The runs came early for the JetHawks offense. Bubba Bell and Zach Daeges each doubled in the first inning, followed by a two-run homer off the bat of Aaron Bates to give Lancaster a lead they never relinquished. Daeges and Bates each had two hits in the game, as did Scott White and Mickey Hall.
One lone bad break came in the sixth inning when Tony Granadillo was struck by a bad-hop grounder and had to come out of the game. The JetHawks second baseman had homered earlier in the contest.
The JetHawks wrap up their seven game homestand Wednesday night at Clear Channel Stadium against the Bakersfield Blaze. Mike Rozier (2-5, 7.35) pitches for Lancaster against Bakersfield's J.B. Diaz (4-1, 5.11). The game starts at 7:00 PM and will be broadcast on radio at Magic 1340 AM, as well as on internet at www.JetHawks.com. The JetHawks Clubhouse Show will air from 5-6 PM with special guests including JetHawks Manager Chad Epperson, Red Sox Director of Amateur Scouting Jason McLeod, and JetHawks All-Star outfielder Bubba Bell.
It is a Weenie Wednesday at Clear Channel Stadium. Hot Dogs will cost just $1 each throughout the game.
Great tickets for most JetHawks home games are available now. Contact the JetHawks box office by phone at (661) 726-5400 or online at www.JetHawks.com.

It seems the test suite, as presented at http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20061213/, only contains tests where the SVG is (i) a stand-alone SVG Web page or (ii) embedded by reference into a Web page. The Concepts chapter of the SVG 1.1 spec also lists (iii) embedding inline as a way of including SVG content, so it seems reasonable that this approach should be tested as well. Especially if browsers might process it differently. As far as I can tell, Safari (3.2.1) uses a plugin for rendering SVG embedded by reference, but renders inline SVG itself. Firefox (2.0.0) seems to not render text in inline SVG although it renders text in referenced SVG, which also suggests the two ways are handled differently. This latter case was what prompted me to seek the test suite out in the first case, but it could just as well be me that has gotten the code wrong. Either way I'd appreciate an official test covering inline SVG so that I can use it to determine if it is my fault or Firefox's. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.Received on Saturday, 23 May 2009 22:17:27 UTC

After 3-month blip, drivers get back PIP
The auto coverage requirement returns Jan. 1.
By TOM ZUCCO, Times Staff Writer
Published December 28, 2007
The sunset lasted three months. But most people never noticed.
On Oct. 1, after 36 years of no-fault auto insurance, the Florida Legislature allowed auto insurance mandates to expire. Yet, after a week's worth of political and special-interest wrangling, lawmakers returned to Tallahassee, added a few tweaks and re-established laws requiring all drivers to carry no-fault insurance.
So starting Tuesday - Jan. 1 - all of Florida's nearly 18-million drivers will again have to carry a minimum of $10,000 worth of personal injury protection PIP insurance. PIP covers injuries and lost wages no matter who causes an accident.
The Legislature delayed implementing the new PIP requirement to the first of the year because insurers needed time to retool their computers and regulators had to process new rate forms and filings.
Motorists who dropped their PIP coverage have until Jan. 1 to restore it, or face suspension of their license and registration.
The stakes in this battle had been high. Hospitals argued they'd be stuck with unpaid emergency room bills if the $10,000 coverage went away. Some of the bigger auto insurance companies weren't happy either, claiming there's rampant abuse of the system, and that most people's medical bills are covered byprivate health insurance, Medicare or Medicaid.
The new PIP law doesn't include limits on what types of fees attorneys can charge for taking on PIP cases. But it does include limits on prices some medical facilities and doctors can charge insurers for non-emergency care. It also requires that PIP clinics be owned or overseen by licensed doctors.
Another key change is the addition of $2-million to the state budget to hire more antifraud prosecutors.
The Florida Insurance Council, the state's main insurance trade association, believes only a few hundred thousand motorists removed their PIP coverage while they had the chance.
"Regardless of how an insurance company stood on the old PIP, the new PIP has increased fraud measures," said Gary Landry, FIC's vice president. "What is returning will be a better PIP than what we had in years past."
Not necessarily, say other trade groups and State Farm, Florida's largest auto insurer.
"Our biggest gripe is that PIP is a mandatory coverage whether you want it or not," said State Farm spokesman Chris Neal. "It's not health insurance." And Neal said subtle abuse of the system remains a big worry.
"The real problem is over-treatment of minor injuries to hit the $10,000 limit," Neal said.
Neal said State Farm, which saw about 40 percent of its nearly 3-million customers make policy changes during the time PIP was not required, will not alter its rates.
It is unclear, Landry said, whether more lawsuits occurred during PIP's hiatus. Also uncertain is how much hospitals had to pay out to cover costs that would have been paid by PIP.
But consumer advocates believe the new law is improved.
"The alternative to not requiring PIP coverage was grim because of lawsuits and the impact on hospitals and the health care system," said Bill Newton, executive director of the Florida Consumer Action Network.
"I'm most excited with more money going for PIP fraud. It's a complicated economic crime. That's why we need more investigators and special prosecutors," he said.
"The people who want to cheat the system have to watch out now."
Tom Zucco can be reached at email@example.com or (727) 893-8247.
If you have questions, contact your insurance agent or call the Department of Financial Services' toll-free number: 1-877-693-5236.
Basic provisions
- Starting Tuesday, Florida law requires drivers to maintain personal injury protection coverage, which pays covered medical expenses for injuries in a crash by the policyholder, passengers and relatives in the policyholder's household.
- If a policyholder fails to maintain coverage, the state may suspend his license and registration.
- If a policyholder already has coverage, it will be amended Jan. 1 to incorporate legal changes without any additional premium. The policyholder doesn't need to take further action.

Female serving staff wearing revealing outfits. Can be anything from a [[FrenchMaid maid costume]] to a short skirt and low-cut top that reveals [[AbsoluteCleavage just enough cleavage]] to keep the male clientele interested. If the waitresses are wearing hot pants and a tight T-shirt, this, um, [[{{Pun}} outfit]] is probably a parody of Hooter's (a fairly common target of parody and of [[FollowTheLeader imitation]]--if the fact that [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breastaurant "breastaurant"]] is a word is anything to go by).
Less commonly, the serving staff may be ''male'', and dressed to expose or accentuate his physique. He may be [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless]] (perhaps with a [[ChippendalesDancers bowtie]]), or wearing a NakedApron, or some other RuleOfSexy.

''[[TropeCo/FanServiceWithASmile This item]] is available in the TropeCo/TropeCo catalog.''
[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the ''Anime/ExcelSaga'' anime, where Excel and Hyatt spend one mission working at a nightclub, and Hyatt notices that their outfits seem designed to emphasize their busts.
** In the manga, Excel, Hyatt and Elgala get jobs at a beachside bikini bar. Excel (of course) misunderstands and turns up in [[SchoolSwimsuit a somewhat less revealing swimsuit from middle school swimming lessons]]... which turns out to be [[CostumeInertia surprisingly popular]]. Later, "Teriha" gets a job at a MaidCafe to repay Shioji for taking her in.
* Despite being as covering as you can really get short of a burkha, the waitress outfit during the FestivalEpisode in ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' really brings out the ''assets'' of Mikuru and Tsuruya, at least judging by Kyon's and his friend's reaction and the notice "No Photographing" on the front door of the restaurant.
* Kallen, the top-heavy ace pilot from ''Anime/CodeGeass'', begins the second season undercover at a casino wearing a PlayboyBunny costume. Naturally, this got the fanartists' pens flying, and now you can find pictures of almost the entire female cast ([[{{Bishonen}} and several of the men]]) in the same outfit.
* For the few days Ukyou was too sick to tend to her restaurant in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', [[GenderBender Ranma]], [[DudeLooksLikeALady Konatsu]], and [[ShortTank Akane]] volunteered to take over for her so she wouldn't go broke. It didn't take long for Ranma to realize that plenty of male patrons came over to [[MaleGaze ogle]] the [[ViewerGenderConfusion cute "waitress" Konatsu]], and so he quickly turned female, [[ShowSomeLeg donned a microscopic miniskirt and heels]], and proceeded to attract even ''more'' customers. Later on, Akane made up [[{{Bishonen}} Konatsu]] as some sort of prince, attracting female customers [[MrFanservice just as effectively]].
* In ''Manga/LuckyStar'', [[ShipperOnDeck Hiyori]] outfits Minami and Yutaka in [[{{Takarazuka}} cosplay outfits]] for the [[SchoolFestival class cafe]] that pander for [[SchoolgirlLesbians her tastes]].
* ''Manga/HeIsMyMaster'': The whole point of the series is to have a rich teenage pervert require his teenage maids to dress in quasi-fetish outfits.
* In one episode of ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'', Louise and Saito are asked by the resident monarch (who happens to be [[spoiler:a close childhood friend of Louise]]) to go investigate whether or not the aristocrats are oppressing the plebeians. Louise loses all of their expense money trying to get more money through gambling. The CampGay manager of a nearby inn lends them a room on one condition: Louise has to dress up in a revealing {{Meido}} outfit like the rest of the waitresses. While this is most definitely {{Fanservice}}, it's most certainly not with a smile, since the customers either cop a feel on the waitresses, or [[ACupAngst insult Louise for having a flat chest.]]
* Volume 19 of Shounen Shikou features a paedophilia version of this. An otouto dresses up as a meido for his SchoolFestival and [[spoiler:has sex with his oniichan]]. ([[SarcasmMode How did you know already]]?)
* The various bars and restaurants in the Magical World in ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima''. However, these girls are slaves. Some of them, anyway.
* In ''Manga/{{Bakugan}} New Vestroia'', the customers' reaction when Mira decides to pitch in at Runo's restaurant evokes this trope, although it's just Mira in her normal outfit plus an apron.
* Male example: [[Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia England]]'s "Sexy Waiter" outfit, which basically consists of the lower half of a NakedApron, a bowtie, and cuffs.
** In ''Manga/HetaliaHetaween2013'', the artist draws several other characters in this outfit as an apology for not updating for a number of days.
* ''Manga/KamenNoMaidGuy'' took this concept and ran with it. In one episode, the main characters are competing against a rival cake shop that is constantly packed to the gills with male customers. The shop's food is terrible to say the least, but no one is going there for the food. Every waitress that works there is [[BuxomIsBetter required to have a D cup or larger]], wear {{Meido}} outfits that show off as much cleavage as possible, and even adopt mannerisms that draw attention to their breasts. Being [[GagBoobs "gifted",]] Naeka gets a job there to go undercover.
* Deconstructed at ''Manga/MutekiKanbanMusume'': Miki Onimaru is a Kanban Musume (poster girl) for a Ramen Restaurant, she uses a little red MagicSkirt, and Megumi Kannazuki is the poster girl for a bakery, she uses a larger TrueBlueFemininity skirt.
** In the first episode, they both compete to be the best Kanban Musume by attracting the most costumers to their business: Megumi gets a sexy mini dress and Miki gets a RummageSaleReject NonIronicClown costume.
*** While Megumi ShowSomeLeg and attracts some teenagers to her bakery, she gloats to Miki:
--->'''Megumi:''' ''[[YouFool Youre so foolish, Onimaru san]]. [[LampshadeHanging Women should make the most of their sex appeal]]. [[BreakThemByTalking If you dont even know that]], [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech what kind of Kanban Musume are you?]]'' [[NoblewomansLaugh laughs]].
*** However, Miki wins by attracting a lot of children who are in a school trip to the Ramen Restaurant.
--->'''Megumi:''' '' What is this? Sex appeal wont work on children!''
** After some children realize that Megumi looks like the [[ShowWithinAShow StarRangers]] villainess Hell Bunny, she cosplays like that villain to attract more clients to her bakery.
-->'''Megumi:''' ''Everyone! Now you can shake hands with the popular childrens character Hells Bunny''
** Some clients threat to abandon the noodle restaurant if the beautiful Kanban Musume doesnt drink with them, Miki agrees because she was called beautiful.
-->'''Client # 1''' ''Aww. I just wanted to have a drink with the cute Kanban Musume''
-->'''Client # 2''' ''Maybe we should stop coming here from now on.''
-->'''Miki:''' ''This is a problem! Moms fists are scary, but losing customers is bad too! And besides He said I was a cute Kanban Musume! For the sake of the restaurant, I have to drink!''
* ''Anime/SpaceDandy'' likes to hang out at [=BooBies=] between jobs, where the waitresses (both human and [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe alien]]) wear pink bikinis. [[RobotBuddy QT]] thinks of it as "that restaurant with the jiggly waitresses and not-so-hot wings."
* ''[[Anime/VariableGeo Variable Geo]]'' is about a tournament for [[WorldOfActionGirls combat waitresses.]] So you can expect heapin' helpings of {{fanservice}} from [[BoobsOfSteel buxom babes]], as they duke it out in mini skirts and [[ShesGotLegs stewardess legs.]]
* Team Natsu briefly work in a cafe at one point in ''Manga/FairyTail''. Lucy and Erza have ridiculously sexy outfits, and Gray forgets his uniform save the bow tie.
* In ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'', [[ChristmasCake Akari]] gets a job as a waitress at one of these places. She tends to terrify her patrons more than anything else, since her "smile" [[TheUnSmile isn't.]]
* A well-known H-series by Butcha-U focuses on Pooter's, which behaves like any other Hooter's expy until Happy Hour.
* The splash page of one issue of ''Comicbook/{{Scion}}'' has a sexy bartender leaning over the bar, cleavage in full view, smiling directly at the reader and asking, "See anything you like?"
* In ''Comicbook/UncannyXMen'', Comicbook/{{X 23}} first encountered the X-Men while working as a waitress at "Wannabees," a mutant-themed night club where the attractive female staff dresses as mutant superheroes.
%%* Both the staff of [=McDonald's=], and the ''airline service'' in ''Film/TheFifthElement''.
* Tony Stark's private airline flight attendants in the first ''Film/IronMan1''. Goes beyond mere Fanservice to... other implications in a deleted scene where it's revealed that he snuggles up with one... and two more take Rhodey offscreen. Justified, of course; the man is rich and probably pays them for it (at least for the pole-dancing, he might be able to get the rest for free with his charm).
* ''Film/{{Idiocracy}}''. In the future, every establishment will utilize this, ''every'' one of them. Even the news. Of course, most establishments are now brothels, so this is the ''least'' of society's vices.
%%* ''Film/CoyoteUgly''
* ''Film/MissingInAction''. Chuck Norris hooks up with an old army buddy in Thailand, leading to plenty of gratuituous fanservice involving totally naked bar girls. One notable scene has Chuck talking to a bartender; as he walks offscreen a beautiful naked Thai girl is placed on the bar for no apparent reason (security for a bar tab?).
* ''Film/{{Cloud Atlas}}''. In a dystopian future the fast food restaurant called Papa Songs uses fabricants, clones engineered to provide this to their customers.
* In the web-based [[QueerMedia gay]] [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry]] story series ''[[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1660394/ Welcome to Frappuccinos]]'', the main character Venti is a {{Hunk}}y male hyena serving drinks in a coffee house. His uniform on the job consists of nothing but a NakedApron.
[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* Sarah's Wienerlicious uniform in ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' is a dirndl with a teensy little skirt.
* In the TV show ''Series/CharliesAngels'', the Angels seemed to have to get these kinds of jobs to help solve the case. Funny how often that happened.
* Olive Snook's Pie Hole uniforms in ''Series/PushingDaisies'' are always low-cut with short skirts.
* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': The Dabo girls of Quark's Bar are mostly croupiers, but also serve drinks, and all wear {{Stripperiffic}} outfits to better loosen the punters' wallets.
* ''Series/TheMiddleman'''s protagonist briefly works at The Booty Chest, a "pirate-themed sports bar with scantily-clad waitresses".
* Sookie and the other waitresses at Sam's in ''Series/TrueBlood'' have a uniform of very tight T-shirts and shorts.
* On ''Series/TheGlades'' one murder victim was a regular of a beach side bar where most of the male patrons are there to see Maggie the waitress. She wears a skimpy bikini and likes to sunbathe topless on the beach before work. It's an open secret that half the men in the bar are in love with her and she is the one thing keeping the bar profitable.
** Another episode had a 'booze cruise' where the waitresses wore skimpy pirate wench costumes.
* Max of ''Series/TwoBrokeGirls'' has her uniform open a lot lower than the other waitress. She's played by the rather chesty Creator/KatDennings, and is probably doing it deliberately, to get tips.
* Creator/GiadaDeLaurentiis provides plenty of this on her cooking shows on Creator/FoodNetwork and Creator/CookingChannel. We're not complaining.
%%** Creator/NigellaLawson has also earned a healthy reputation for this.
* Ruby's midriff-baring white top and tight red short-shorts when serving at Granny's in ''Series/OnceUponATime'', at least early on. Her wardrobe got a bit more modest [[spoiler:once the evil curse on her and the town started weakening]].
* The costumes of the 'Fluffies' who work in The Fluffy Club in the ''Series/AdamAdamantLives'' episode "Allah Is Not Always With You". Naturally, Georgina goes undercover as one.
* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' Christmas special "The Snowmen", Clara Oswin Oswald is a historical variation on this when she works at [[TheGayNineties a 1890s]] London pub as a barmaid, in a dainty but still rather titilating [[http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/50/f4/e0/50f4e09467363628cda43b7c803c46d5.jpg red dress]]. The daintiness (and Clara's {{adorkable}} demeanor) is a deliberate touch, to make it a more kid-friendly example of this trope. Still, her dress would be seen as ''[[ValuesDissonance rather racy]]'' by the more prudish of her fellow Victorians (since even slightly uncovered shoulders were at the time seen as a sign of "looseness" and shamelesness).
* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'': When Al's favorite nudie bar briefly becomes female oriented, Al and his NO MA'AM buddies work there wearing a tie and no shirt.
* On ''Series/LifeOnMars2006'' Annie Cartwright spends most days in a conservative British police uniform. When she, Sam, and Gene go undercover as pub personnel, however, she wears an outfit with a quite low-cut blouse. She knows exactly why she got the assignment.
* ''Pinball/TheChampionPub'' has three barmaids on the backglass and playfield to fill this role.
* The waitress in ''Pinball/BigBangBar'', as shown on the cabinet and playfield art. Also invoked with the "Catch the Waitress" mode.
* ''Pinball/TruckStop'' is all about a truckers' diner where the all-female serving staff plays this trope straight.
[[folder:Video Games]]
* In one of the cases in the third ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' game, the murder takes place at a restaurant, and the only witness is a DirtyOldMan who, as it turns out, only goes there to ogle the waitresses in their skimpy uniforms.
** And in the middle of the case, Maya gets hired in the same restaurant and has to use the uniforms. Phoenix uses that to get information from the witness, and when it doesn't work [[OlderAlterEgo Maya channels Mia]]...
* The entire premise of the Pia Carrot DatingSim SeriesFranchise.
* The HGame series Hana Bunny-san Kirai? (''Do You Like Horny Bunnys?'') is centered around the fictional Platinum restaurants, where the female servers all wear... What else? PlayboyBunny costumes.
* ''[[VideoGame/AdvancedVariableGeo Advanced V.G.]]'' is the fighting game series the OVA is based on, featuring the same cast of waitresses, who each fight in their respective restaurant's uniform.
* This is the concept behind the restaurant sim Hot Dog King, where you operate a franchise of fast food stands staffed mostly by cute girls. You even get to choose what sort of outfits they wear on the job, from tight-fitting but relatively modest outfits to various revealing swimsuits.
* In ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial 2'', if [[spoiler: Kaori Yae]] has revealed her {{Backstory}} to the protagonist and is in love with him, her special event at the SchoolFestival will show her having fun working as the waitress of the Tea Shop, wearing a maid outfit.
* In one [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9hSliVD4BU scenario]] of ''VideoGame/{{Super Robot Wars Z}}2: Saisei Hen'', [[Anime/CodeGeass Kallen Kozuki]] was serving as a waitress at [[Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS Coconna]]'s shop. It seems that only the bunny suit was available for Kallen. [[RuleOfFunny To make things worse]], Dimension Beasts appeared near their shop and their commander didn't give Kallen permission to change back to her normal outfit. Kallen's embarrassed over the bunny suit thing, so Esther (complete with triangle chiming) tries to hypnotize her so that she will fight better with it on.
-->'''C.C.''': So how do you feel riding Guren, Kallen?\\
'''Kallen''': "How"...?\\
'''Ester''': Get back Kallen. DM extermination is my specialty.\\
'''Kallen''': Ester...are you mad about something?\\
'''Ester''': I'm not frustrated...I'm not frustrated!\\
'''Kallen''': You brought your triangle into the cockpit...\\
'''Ester''': You're piloting the Guren wearing a bunny suit, aren't you?! So I'm bringing my work tool into mine too!\\
''*ding ding ding*''\\
'''C.C.''': It looks like she really is that frustrated that she couldn't become a bunny (girl).\\
'''Kallen''': Sure looks like it...\\
'''Kiderra''': Woman's jealousy sure is scary...\\
'''Ester''': I said I'm not frustrated! Even though I'm not that pretty, or elegant, or friendly, or good as serving...\\

* Shion Sonozaki from ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' works at a restaurant called Angel Mort, and it has a very... [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/05_09.jpg interesting uniform]]. There's an official manga omake with just about the whole cast in the same thing. Yes, even Oishi. It's... not for the faint of heart.
* In ''VisualNovel/AtomGrrrl'', after leaving the restaurant he and Very were eating dinner at, Dave encounters a young girl (named in-game as 'Kitten B') who asks him to play that's a prime example of this trope. It's only later that we find out she's a live-in servant/sex toy for Very.
* ''Webcomic/TwiceBlessed'' has a very [[http://www.twiceblessedcomic.com/?webcomic_post=4 buxom barmaid]] for an accidental innuendo gag early on.
* The idea behind ''Webcomic/OkashinaOkashi'''s Beauty Man Garden, introduced [[http://www.strangecandy.net/d/20010301.html here]], staffed by {{bishonen}} wearing nothing more than a ModestyTowel with the restaurant's logo. Unless they're washing dishes, in which case it's a HadakaApron.
* In one arc of ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'', Ash takes a summer job with another waitress who leaves the collar buttons of her shirt open. She tries to get Ash to follow suit, using the advice seen in the page quote. Ash settles for halfway.
* The restaurant [=DiDi=] and Sandra work at in ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' seems to be a Hooters-style "breastaurant", with the waitresses in tight-fitting clothes (although ''not'' hot pants) and where men give bigger tips for bigger tits.
* ''Webcomic/JuvenileDiversion'' has "[[http://jdcomic.com/comic/busties/ Busties]]", whose waitress uniform includes an open shirt and hot-pink bra.

** Another in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Dont Fear The Roofer" and it is called "Knockers." Subverted when one of the waitresses slaps Homer because a sign saying "Do not stare at our waitresses' large breasts".
** ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' has "Boobers" where the Smith family goes out for dinner over Hayley's objections in "Faking Bad".
* The ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' episode "Stan Time" has Mia and Sandy, two young blonde waitresses that work at diner where Roger and Steve attempt to write a porno movie. They wear revealing outfit and flirt with Roger and Steve and then struggle to fix the diner's air conditioning ending in sexually suggestive situations. [[NotDistractedByTheSexy Roger and Steve are so busy with the movie that completely ignore the girls]].
* The movie ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAndHarleyQuinn'' has a restaurant called "Superbabes" in which the wait staff all wear skimpy versions of famous superheroines and villainesses of the DC Universe (including Catwoman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Powergirl, Starfire, Vixen, Fire, Ice, and even ''Granny Goodness''). Harley works there as a waitress wearing a skimpy version of her own Harlequinn costume that shows her panties. Indeed, one of male customers tries to cop a feel ... bad move.

Beshear urges lawmakers to 'get their egos under control'
FRANKFORT — Gov. Steve Beshear urged leaders of the House and Senate to "get their egos under control" and produce a budget by midnight Thursday, as Kentuckians expect.
He said the two chambers are "fairly close" on budget issues and there is no reason to end the regular law-making session Thursday as the Constitution requires without a spending plan for the state.
Beshear's comments at a news conference early Wednesday afternoon came as prospects for a budget this session looked dim.
Senate President David Williams, R-Burkesville, said earlier in the day that he doubted a deal on the state budget could be reached before midnight Thursday because his chamber could not accept a House "ultimatum" for a one-year budget that included hundreds of millions of dollars in debt for construction projects.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, said he remained hopeful about a budget in the last two days of the 60-day session.
Beshear, a Democrat, said taxpayers and he expect legislators to craft a budget to avoid a costly special session at about $64,000 a day.
"I would not want to be a legislator on the ballot this fall, standing for election or re-election, if I could not get the job done that the people sent me here for and I would be brought back up here in a special session to get paid overtime by the taxpayers of this state to do a job they were supposed to do in the last three months."
Still, Beshear sympathized with lawmakers over the tough task of producing a budget that cuts spending. "These are very difficult times," he said. "This is not a usual budget situation. In years past, it's been to decide how to spend the extra money. Well, there is not any extra money. There is even less money."
Beshear said he presented a budget in January that would generate more revenue for the state through expanded gambling but the legislature did "not have the courage to enact it."
He declined to say which chamber is more responsible for the budget impasse that has gone on for about two weeks. "Folks just need to get their egos under control in both the House and Senate and put the people of this state in front of their own egos and look at the job done," he said.
Beshear said there still is time for a budget and he understands both chambers have "bills in computers" that they can change instantly to enact a budget.
If there is a need for a special session, Beshear indicated it would have to take place before June 1 even thought the new fiscal year begins July 1.
"There are significant problems with timelines should we be pushed over the April 15 deadline," Beshear said. "Both the House and Senate versions of the budget depend upon millions of dollars in revenue from restructuring bond issues and different financing mechanisms."
"We need a budget by June 1 if we are going to create those millions of dollars with those types of restructurings to balance whatever budget we may have," he said. "So, July 1 is not the drop-dead deadline for having a budget for this Commonwealth. June 1 would be more the deadline.
"My deadline is tomorrow night at midnight."
Only the governor can call a special session and set its agenda. Beshear said he has not thought about a special session and whether he would put expanded gambling on a call for one.

Italian oil tanker 'Enrica Lexie,' detained off Kerala coast since February 15 after its Marines shot dead two Indian fishermen, Saturday sailed off from Kochi for Colombo.
After execution of a 30 million-rupee bond and completion of other formalities, the ship was allowed to leave Kochi where it was berthed for 80 days, coastal police sources said.
Pio Shiano, Managing Director of Dolphin Tankers Ltd, the ship owner, executed the bond and agreed to present the vessel and its crew as and when demanded by Indian authorities.
Two marines from the vessel Lattore Massimiliano and Salvatore Girone, who had allegedly shot dead the two Kerala fishermen, are charged with murder and in Trivandrum Central prison.
On a petition by Italy and the ship's owner, the Supreme Court had on May 2 allowed the release of the vessel after directing them to execute the 30 million-rupee bond and undertake to present its crew as and when required by the Indian authorities.
Italy had maintained that Kerala government had no locus standii to register any criminal case as the alleged offence ought to be treated under international law and covenants as India is a signatory to the UN Charter.

Most expensive Australian banknote-world record set
by The Rare Coin Company
[Nov 30]ALBANY,WA,Australia-- The Rare Coin Company paid $1,223,250
dollars for an Australian 1924 George V One Thousand Pound banknote
and had set a new world record for the Most Expensive Australian
banknote sold at public auction.
The company has since sold the banknote to a private
collector who has very generously agreed to allow The Rare Coin
Company to exhibit the banknote under strict security and insurance
Company Director Robert Jackman confirmed that the
company was set to exhibit the banknote in Albany and Perth in early
2008, which will allow the general public a once in a lifetime opportunity
to view a significant piece of Australia's heritage and an outstanding
artistic specimen.
"This is truly an opportunity for all Western
Australian's to view a unique numismatic rarity as once the exhibition
is over the banknote is unlikely to be seen in the public domain
again for a significant period of time," Mr Jackman said. "As one
of Australia's leading numismatic specialists, we are thrilled to
secure such an important numismatic rarity and what makes this experience
even more satisfying for us is to know that the artistic excellence
and historical value of the banknote will now be able to be enjoyed
by all those who attend the exhibit." he said.
The banknote is the only known thousand
pound note in private hands and it was last sold at auction in November
1998 where it realized $86,000. Controversy surrounded the notes
purchase at this time, where it was seized by the Federal Police
after the Reserve Bank of Australian claimed ownership, which the
Bank later relinquished.
The Rare Coin Companys purchase of this highly
important numismatic item represents a significant milestone for
the Australian Numismatic Industry, this being only the second known
time in Australias history that the $1 million dollar price barrier
has ever been reached for a single item.
Company Director Robert Jackman said the record price
paid for the £1,000 note purchase coincided with the Companys 25th
Anniversary Year, demonstrating its continuing commitment to providing
its clients with only the highest quality numismatic rarities.
Further background information about the
£1,000 pound banknote
Unique 1924 George V One Thousand Pound Issued
Specimen Note
The first Australian One Thousand Pound Notes
were printed at the Government Printing Office in Melbourne by the
Commonwealth Stamp Printer in 1914.
These were signed R. Collins, Chairman and
Directors, Note Issue Dept. of the Commonwealth Bank and T. Allen,
Secretary of the Treasury.
This was probably the shortest circulation
note ever issued in Australia.
Following a brief introduction to the public,
the £1,000 note was soon restricted to internal transfers of funds
between banks only.
In 1924 another batch of £1,000 notes were
printed bearing the signatures of James Kell and R. Collins. These
were never issued for circulation and were reserved for banking
purposes only. The illusive £1,000 note,
never meant for public use, is today many times more valuable as
a collectors piece than its intrinsic value of $2,000.
In the 1930s the Commonwealth Bank removed
all £1,000 notes from circulation and to present the note as a specimen
placed four cancellation punch marks and the word CANCELLED perforated
across the centre.
This is the only circulated example known in
private hands bearing the signaturesKell/Collinsand of the utmost
numismatic significance.

Oh, this wedding! So. Much. Love. Sanctuary was overflowing with fabulous DIY projects completed by Molly and crew, gorgeous flowers by Bare Root Flora, and a gathering of some of the nicest people I've ever met. Molly is a kindergarten teacher and I just LOVED the framed quotes of "Marriage Advice From Kindergartners" that were placed at various spots around the wedding — gems like "Get Married and get a kid" from Dane, age 5, as well as "At the wedding the boy should say 'I love your dress.'" My personal favorite – "Put up a sign that says 'Here's the Cake' . . . so they know where the cake will be."
I loved Molly's reaction when she first caught a glimpse of the flowers: Molly and Colin chose to do a blind letter exchange and prayer before the ceremony. Midway through the ceremony was a foot-washing while Molly's sister and maid-of-honor played the piano. Next to their vintage "getaway" car:

|Rediff India Abroad Home | All the sections
Can Britannica & Encarta beat Wikipedia?
Priyanka Joshi in New Delhi | September 13, 2006
If that's obvious, here's another bet: a student trying to find the origins of probability theory and its early applications will probably also hit the Internet.
Don't get us wrong. The venerable old stack of bound volumes called "the encyclopedia" does have a future, even if mostly as a shelf adornment. It's just that all the world's recorded knowledge is fast turning digital.
Sensibly, Britannica and other knowledge brands have put their material online, even as Microsoft markets its Encarta digital encyclopedia. Both have DVD packs for easy-click computer reference.
Encarta Premium 2007 retails at Rs 3,999, though lighter versions sell for Rs 1,999 and Rs 1,299. "Microsoft Encarta has more than 60,000 articles, an interactive atlas, dictionaries, a thesaurus, current and back issues of 100 leading magazines, homework tools, daily math help, and a strong online support from the Microsoft reference library," boasts Mohit Anand, country manager, entertainment and devices division, Microsoft India.
Encyclopedia Britannica sells a single-disc DVD Ultimate Reference Suite that contains a student library, elementary library, general reference library and the Britannica Brainstormer.
"With more than 1,00,000 articles and 800 audio and video clips, users have access to a range of content, updated to the end of last year. There are plenty of learning games and links to some 1,65,000 websites selected by Britannica's editors," claims Britannica's website. Its DVDs are available in a range from Rs 3,220 to Rs 5,750, and its online
subscription is for Rs 5,520.
"Britannica provides considerably more text," admits Microsoft's Anand, but adds that "we have made our application more interactive and visually appealing."
Yet, even as Britannica and Encarta slug it out, the most popular reference library amongst youngsters is Wikipedia (unless you count Google, which is just a search engine).
Wikipedia is free. Is it trustworthy? You decide. Literally. It operates on an "open source" model. Even its information is open to editing � on the assumption that a cyber-population consensus will eventually come to yield the truth. Or, as more and more people log on, at least an acceptable approximation of it.
To Wikipedia fans, its very openness is an advantage. It is a revolution of knowledge democratisation. To its rivals, that's precisely the problem - it is mob knowledge, at best. Anand sees Wikipedia's lack of accountability as a huge vulnerability.
"While Microsoft and Britannica spend millions on reference books, hire expert scholars to write articles and employ skilled editors to check and double-check their work," he says, "Wikipedia's articles can be written by anyone who fancies himself an expert."
Given its 13,70,020 articles and another half-million pages written in dozens of other languages (including Malay, Swahili and Frisian), it's virtually impossible to give it a reliability certificate.
Anyhow, Wikipedia sure is fun to look up. And all "truth" in the human head, some argue, is something of an approximation anyway. This makes Wikipedia a unique brand.

I love the old adage, "the more things change, the more they stay the same" because in life there are many, many things that should never change.
For example and just to name a few: my favorite bagel shop should never under any circumstances stop making their scrumptious cinnamon sugar bagels because even though I don't indulge in one very often, I love just knowing they are there and they smell insane.
I believe champagne should always be popped when there's something fabulous to celebrate and even when there's not.
I think goofy games should always be played at baby showers no matter how much the guests and typically the guest of honor bitch about them.
Sesame Street should never go off the air, even though my son has never been a fan.
I especially hope my husband never ceases to make me laugh and my son always prefers to sit next to me instead of across form me when we are at a restaurant.
Dependability is nice, tradition is comforting, being surrounded by people and things you can trust and count on is very good and support and unconditional love is priceless, but looking back just one year ago, almost everything in my life is different, some WAY better, some WAY worse.
Exactly one year ago today I posted Letter to my Blogging Buddies by Alison of Writing, Wishing as part of my weekly series, Letters For You, I was desperately in love with and getting to know our new puppy, Charlie Pasta, I was trying to find the good in myself and making lists. I wasn't sharing much else.
Only six of the 11 posts I published last August were mine, all the others were guest posts. So far this month, I've written nine posts, including this one so I'm sharing more, which can only be healthy for my psyche.
I think.
Since August, 2012, we have moved and are now living
miserably uncomfortably in a teeny tiny apartment as we search for our dream house and I'm still getting to know our dog, who turns out is A LOT more work than my four year old and I regret getting almost daily.
Charlie Pasta and I are NOT in a good place these days, although as he sleeps peacefully at my feet as I type this, I realize I really do love him.
How has your life changed in the last year?
And what are some things you hope never change? I asked this on Twitter the other day and all I heard was crickets, so won't you please indulge me?
This post was written for Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop Prompt #3. What were you blogging about last year at this time? What has changed?

Agree completely - it's a bit of a luxury to have the time, and hard to get the correct information, but every (complex) system needs a table-driven stats gathering process to minimize the work done, and maximise the return on effort.

Seems to be the day I use Oracle Apps 11i as a whipping boy! (positive in the case below):
Apps 11i maintains a separate table named FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS which stores column names that are good candidates for Histogram collection. Stats is then collected via an Apps specific FND_STATS package that wraps around DBMS_STATS. The data in FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS is seeded, but there should be no reason you cannot add to this if required. The point is that one could borrow this idea to roll-your-own MY_OWN_GEN_STATS package...

I know lots of people are getting all excited about Christmas already, but I am more in a Halloween type of mood now that the kids are starting school and it's getting colder.

- Boo Yah Skeleton T-shirt from £2*
- Glow In The Dark Mummy Top £2.50*
- Monster Halloween Top £3.50*

BERLIN (Oct. 28)
Approximately 10,000 Polish Jews were arrested today in nation-wide raids for deportation to Poland. The action was believed to be motivated by the German Government's fear that Polish Jews residing in Germany, estimated here to total 30,000, would be denationalized and prevented from returning to their country.
(Berlin's fear was based on a Polish Government decree issued on Oct. 6 ordering all nationals abroad to obtain by Oct. 29 special visas enabling them to return to Poland. Non-compliance would invalidate a Polish citizen's passport, preventing his return. The measure was taken under a law authorizing denationalization of polish citizens abroad "working injury to the state" or failing to maintain connections with their fatherland.)
The first transport of deportees from Berlin was expected to reach the Polish frontier between two and three o'clock Saturday morning. Among the arrested are several employees of Berlin Jewish organizations. All the deported were permitted to take with them only ten marks each. In the provinces, where heads of families were taken, their families were subsequently notified to leave Germany within 48 hours.
In Berlin alone 3,000 were arrested. Here a house-to-house search, starting at five a.m., was made in the Jewish quarter. Those seized were taken to the Alexanderplatz barracks in police vans. Hundreds of others were ordered to report to the aliens bureau, where they were given visas and told they must cross the frontier by midnight. Another 2,000 were arrested in Vienna, where raids were staged all night. Information from Cologne said many Jews were arrested and others were told to report to the authorities at one p.m. with food and clothes for a journey to the frontier.

Kaz whips Daniels but Park backdrops him outside, then Park hits Kaz with a chair in the corner and splashes a trash can lid onto him. Park puts him in a Boston crab but Daniels hits Park with a crutch, then Kaz brings Janice inside as Park rolls outside, but Eric Young runs out to encourage him. Park screams that he needs help so Eric tries to bust him open, but Kaz and Daniels stop him and throw him down the ramp. They roll him inside as Park rolls in, then Eric ducks a kendo stick shot and Kaz ends up hitting Park right in the face. They throw Eric outside but Park sees his blood and freaks out, then Kaz and Daniels hit him with the kendo stick and a chair but Park punches them out of their hands. Park hits them with the kendo stick and splashes Kaz in the corner, then he hits Shock Treatment before dropping Daniels with a Black Hole Slam for the win.
Winner – Joseph Park
Lei'D Tapa (w/ Gail Kim) vs ODB
ODB ducks a clothesline and chops Tapa in the corner, then she shoulder blocks Tapa a few times but Tapa grabs her by the throat and kicks her in the head. Tapa throws her across the ring and hits a big boot, then Tapa heads up top but ODB avoids a senton and knocks her back down. Gail throws her title in the ring but the ref gets rid of it, but Gail runs over and hits ODB from behind, allowing Tapa to hit a swinging cutter for the win.
Winner – Lei'D Tapa
Dixie Carter appears on the big screen and says next week they will have a coronation for Magnus, but that's next week, and she finally gets to make her announcement. She says this is a tag match, but it's a handicap tag match because the Bro Mans are joining Spud and Ethan, and the match starts now.

I am only a very little soul: bringing little things to you, O Lord.- from the Book of Common Prayer
The older I get, the more I'm conscious of ways very small things can make a change in the world. Tiny little things, but the world is made up of tiny matters, isn't it? – Sandra Cisneros
"I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world."
Mother Teresa
It's quiet here today … that sermon that I told you about will be preached on Tuesday. I've rewritten it at least 5 times and slowly sinking my teeth into the message I will preach that day. I'm asking God to make it my own. I'll read a prayer by Barbara Taylor Brown and dance in the Blessing of the Animals service at James Chapel that day.
I'm giving thanks for the little things that helped me find a rhythm when I felt crazy this week – like : apple picking with 23 1st graders and eating spicy shrimp sushi after a long day of classes.
I'm super busy but getting the work done – will be back next week.
Here's a little beautiful truth and inspiration for my writing/speaking friends … from Audre Lorde
Next time, ask: What's the worst that will happen? Then push yourself a little further than you dare. Once you start to speak, people will yell at you. They will interrupt you, put you down and suggest it's personal. And the world won't end.
And the speaking will get easier and easier. And you will find you have fallen in love with your own vision, which you may never have realized you had. And you will lose some friends and lovers, and realize you don't miss them. And new ones will find you and cherish you. And you will still flirt and paint your nails, dress up and party, because, as I think Emma Goldman said, "If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution." And at last you'll know with surpassing certainty that only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth. And that is not speaking."
Let your handmaiden find grace in your sight … #GiveMeGrace

The USS Vega was a Federation Rigel-class heavy scout starship in Starfleet service in the 24th century, active in the 2370s. This vessel was named for the star Vega. (Last Unicorn RPG module: The Price of Freedom)
The Vega inherited its name from an earlier Starfleet vessel, a Constitution-class USS Vega in service in the 23rd century. These vessels were eventually succeeded in bearing the name Vega by the later 2370s, when the USS Vega repair ship was in service.
