The wife and I were totally against cloth diapers. They'd leak, stink, and generally be a pain in the ass. However after two months of paying out the ass for diapers, we did our research and took the plunge. A $200 investment netted us 30 diapers and inserts. We do diaper laundry every third day or so and saw a slight increase in water consumption. You can seriously tell a difference between a kid's ass that's been clothed in chemically laced material and the cloth diapers. Don't get me wrong, we use disposables in some situations, but 90% of the time we go cloth. It was well worth the investment...

I'm having a fundamental--and probably simple--problem with the ipw2100 package. I've successfully installed wireless_tools. I'm running hotplug. I evidently have installed the ipw2100 package. Yet, when I try to modprobe ipw2100, I get a fatal module not found error. This is the case even after depmod -a.
I've used the ipw2100 package on this machine with earlier versions of Arch. In fact, my recollection is that earlier installs were a piece of cake. I've been using Slackware on the notebook for the past year, but the hard drive just died. So, I'm putting Arch back onto a new drive.
Can someone point out what I'm missing here?

Hovering at just below 14000, the Dow Industrials are less than 300 points away from setting all-time highs. But unlike prior milestones don't expect any fireworks to commemorate the feat.
The apathy for the great run that began in 2009 finds its roots in skepticism about easy-money policies from the Federal Reserve, disappointment with continued sluggishness in the real economy and psychological damage inflicted on investors who lived through the Great Recession.

Quietly efficient. That's the best way I could describe Rajon Rondo's scoring ability through this season. The fifth-year point guard has been relegated to the fifth offensive scoring option in the starting lineup, which really isn't much of a demotion when you have a top 5 all-time center entering the fold in Shaquille O'Neal causing the switch in what Doc Rivers needs out of his floor general.
With less scoring needed from Rondo on the offensive end, (his average is down from 13.7 to 11.2 points per game) much of the attention has been placed on Rondo's increased assist production which has skyrocketed from 9.8 to 13.7 assists per game. Given the murderer's row of scorers surrounding him, all of them seemingly having career years in green thus far, it's easy to see why the assist numbers have jumped with so many options to pass to.
As Rondo has taken a step back with his scoring, purely based on the lack of a need for it above all else, it's crucial to point out one improved reality about Rondo's game. He has become much more efficient as a scorer and in fact is the most accurate shooter at either guard spot in the league at this juncture, hitting 53 percent of his shots on the season. The best part of that stat? He's not doing all of his damage at the rim.So let's start by taking a look at the guard spot FG percentage leaders to see just how well Rondo has stacked up against the competition, with the shooting numbers highlighted below from Hoopdata.com:
So as you can see, Rondo has a comfortable one point edge over Ronnie Brewer and rookie sensation Landry Fields in the FG% column. Other names you see on that list are not surprising with Steve Nash and Tony Parker carrying their offensive scoring loads for their respective teams. Still it's important to point out that Rondo is just shooting 4 less attempts per game than either of these guys. So while the 25-year-old's overall volume may be down, it's still comparable to other stud point guards in the league.
Now the other argument I can't wait to hear on this is quite simple. "Yeah, well he may be good at shooting around the basket, but he still can't shoot from the outside!" And that argument would be wrong, for this year anyway. The guy can't shoot from some places on the floor such as the free throw line, but that's another story for another day.
Lucky for Rondo we are talking about FG percentages here and his mid-range and outside games have stacked up quite well so far compared to the rest of the league.
Take a close look at those numbers. Only half of Rondo's scoring attempts are coming at the rim this year and he's finishing at a very respectable 60 percent clip, which is actually a step down from his number last year. However, the good news for C's fans is his number from the dreaded mid-range where Rondo is shooting a career high 45 percent through 16 games. The even better news in that department? That's while taking more shots than almost any other year from that distance at 2.6/game from the 16-23 feet area.
Put it all together and you have a point guard that is quietly maturing extremely well into his role as the fifth scoring option in a starting lineup. In past years, Rondo has had to shoulder more of the offensive load to make up for the injuries elsewhere to guys like Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. Even with the injuries this year, there's plenty of scoring to go around and number 9 is picking his spots quite well.

I am very disappointed with the Edgefield County Council. I sincerely thought that, once Council received the proposed zoning ordinance, the citizens of Edgefield would receive a fair chance to discuss alternatives to zoning. I see now how very wrong I was.
What disturbs me even more is how the county administrator has the power to retain a zoning attorney and approve his fee -- all without the consent or consideration from our elected County Council. Two councilmen had no idea an attorney was hired and one thought they decided to hire him at the Council meeting. There was no discussion in regard to a zoning attorney and no motions made, only the slip of a tongue.
What do we have the County Council for if our administrator has so much power that Council is left in the dark? There is also a conflict of opinion among the Council members about whether or not the administrator should have that power.
My suggestion to Council and the county administrator is to review the "Ethical Principals in Planning" as adopted in May, 1992. They apparently have forgotten them. ...

South Plainfield, NJ (PRWEB) June 30, 2014
WholeFoods Magazine, one of the country's most distinguished trade publications for natural products retailers, has announced GreenAcres Market as its 2014 Retailer of the Year. This prestigious industry award, now in its 25th year, recognizes those natural product retailers that have a business philosophy that focuses on innovation and strong customer service. The business practices of GreenAcres Market, says WholeFoods Magazine's president, are in keeping with the overall spirit of this award.
"We are proud to announce GreenAcres Market as our Retailer of the Year," says Howard Wainer, President of WholeFoods Magazine. "The company exemplifies what we look for in an award winner: a spirit of innovation and commitment to excellence. Over its 20 years in the industry, this family-owned business has turned what was initially a grassroots effort with little resources at its disposal into a formidable natural products business that is a cornerstone of the Midwest."
Founded by husband and wife team Barbara and John Hoffmann, GreenAcres Market began with a personal desire of Barbara's to find natural solutions for her chronic back pain. As she learned more about natural foods and other products, Barbara became a passionate believer in the connection between healthy food, healthy products, and a healthy body; and she wanted to educate others about this connection. GreenAcres Market was born as a result.
Far ahead of the current mainstream demand for fresh, organic food and wellness products, GreenAcres Market started with one store and a desire to deliver (previously difficult to find) natural products to interested shoppers. Today, GreenAcres Markets includes eight stores in Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. The store's core mission has remained the same throughout its growth, including a focus on quality education, dedicated customer service, fresh, natural, and organic products, a unique shopping experience, and—most importantly—a commitment to helping people take control of their health. These core practices are much of the reason that GreenAcres Markets was chosen as WholeFoods Magazine's 2014 Retailer of the Year award.
Past winners have included such retail stores as Sprouts Farmers Market in Arizona, Jimbo's…Naturally! in California, Whole Foods Market in TX, Mother's Market in CA, Mustard Seed Market of OH, Natur-Tyme in Syracuse, NY, New Seasons Market in Portland, OR, and Good Earth in Utah.
"GreenAcres Market is a wonderful example of what it means to be a natural foods retailer committed to growing its business through superior customer service, product knowledge, and an eye toward the future," says Wainer. "Companies like this benefit—and ultimately grow—our industry as a whole."
Published for more than 30 years, WholeFoods Magazine is a national, monthly trade publication with a focus on providing natural products retailers with information to help grow their business. WholeFoods Magazine features industry news, introduces new products, and raises awareness about industry topics through input from market educators and insiders.

The bombastic Bastille Day Festival takes over Eastern State Penitentiary and the Fairmount neighborhood on Saturday, July 13, with a daylong blowout block party and performance in honor of the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, the turning point of the French Revolution.
Such a momentous event deserves way more than just a single day of partying, though.
The bars and restaurants of the vibrant Fairmount neighborhood step up with celebratory specials on libations and more starting Thursday, July 11 and continuing through brunch on Sunday, July 14.
Take Bastille Day by storm and head to the Fairmount neighborhood to celebrate Bastille Day weekend with daily events and dining specials.

Once again, the Penitentiary teams-up with the always-entertaining Bearded Ladies for a hilariously campy show culminating in a mock-storming of the Bastille — for which Eastern State Penitentiary makes a perfect stand-in. Revolutionaries take over, Marie Antoinette cries "Let them eat Tastykake!" and 3,000 Tastykakes are flung into the crowds from the prison's towers.
• Bastille Day After-Party: After the rousing performance and block party, Fairmount's businesses and restaurants open their doors for a public celebration that lasts until the wee hours.

Hi everyone,
Looking for information on what it's like to live in Philadelphia. I haven't been there yet, although I'm going down from NYC to do a bit of recon next week.
Hoping that any of you might be able to give some insight on:
- Social life/theatre or music scene
- Cultural activities
- Apartment renting/monthly rents/best areas to live in
- General vibe of the city
Or for any of you that know Princeton, do you think it's a preferable place to live than Phillie?
Thanks for your help!

Tuesday Round-Up: Richard Sherman ranks at No. 12 in PFT's Top 100

Good morning, and here's what's "out there" for today, Tuesday, July 23, about your Seattle Seahawks:
Cornerback Richard Sherman, who was highlighted at No. 50 on NFL Network's Top 100 Players of 2013, jumped 38 spots to No. 12 on ProFootballTalk.com's list, which unveiled their Top 25 players Monday afternoon. Even at No. 12, Sherman is just the second-highest ranked cornerback on PFT's list, as Tampa Bay Buccaneers corner Darrelle Revis comes in two spots ahead of Sherman at No. 10.
Sherman was also unveiled as a contributing writer for SI.com's Peter King's new endeavor - The MMQB - a website launched yesterday devoted completely to the NFL. Sherman's initial feature rehashes his path to the pros and delves into what drives him to be great every day.
PFT also has the Seahawks checking in at No. 4 in their preseason power rankings.
Mike Tanier of SportsOnEarth.com has ranked the League's 32 training camps in order of excitement, and the Seahawks come in at No. 11. Tanier considers several categories and assigns point values to each to determine his rankings, including whether or not a club uses the read-option, has a class of 2012 quarterback, has impact rookies or free agent additions, and more.
Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times examines the question, "Will the pass rush get better?" in the site's "15 questions in 15 days" series leading up to training camp.
Eric Williams of the Tacoma News Tribune has an in-depth feature on what to expect from the team's tight end position.
Danny O'Neil of 710Sports.com offers a preview of the team's offensive line heading into training camp.
ESPN.com NFC West blogger Mike Sando has a look at running back situations around the division.
Tim Gayle of USA Today catches up with backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson on his decision to return to Seattle.
NFL.com Around the League editor Gregg Rosenthal breaks down the Top 25 NFC position battles heading into camp, and for the Seahawks Rosenthal highlights the competition at backup running back between second-year pro Robert Turbin and rookie Christine Michael.
Last night, wide receiver Golden Tate joined the list of Seahawks that have thrown out the ceremonial first pitch for the Seattle Mariners. Perhaps the M's became interested in Tate after his MVP performance at Richard Sherman's Celebrity Softball Game earlier this month.
Here at Seahawks.com, Tate teamed up with former Seahawks defensive lineman Jacob Green for Green's 26th annual charity golf classic benefiting the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
And in case you missed it from us yesterday, 2013 regular season tickets and all training camp practices are sold out. A limited number of tickets remain for preseason games.
Did we miss anything you think is worthy of inclusion? Let me know on Twitter @TonyDrovetto

I have an MSI CX700Ā(complete with 2GB stick of RAM)Āthat I am looking to give up. ĀIt is free to a nice project, however, if you want the PicoPSU-120-WI-25-12-25VĀand 8GB of Lexar 300x compact flashĀfor the socket underneath, that will cost you $50.ĀIf you take the CF card, It comes preloaded with XUBUNTU 12.10.

This is a great little system that is STACKED with IO.

2 PCI Slots (one of them full size, one of them Micro, perfect for highpower 802.11 cards)

4 hardware serial ports

 1 DVI

1 VGA

1 CF socket on the bottom

1 LVDS LCD connector on board

Component/composite/s-video on board

8 channel audio including digital

GPIO viaĀconnector

2 sata ports

2 pata ports (the CF socket is off of one of these, but is not utilized if the CF socket is unpopulated

Hardware video decode

6 Watt power draw

This system has been a good little worker for me, though the bios does require some care in configuring because some settings seem to render it inoperable. ĀOnce you have it configured (or, indeed, if you don't change the settings on it now) it will work flawlessly.

It can run at 800mhz or 1ghz.

It's still in the box it came in...and by that, I mean I turned the box into it's case ;-)

I had three of these boards, one of them was the original Orb Swarm Mothernode

Cinnamon rolls have been on my mind lately. I don't really know why. I think I'm surrounded by people who have been talking about them lately. And dAhub loves them. He can't get enough of them. Whenever we go somewhere that has cinnamon rolls, he is first in line for them. I don't think he's met a cinnamon roll that he doesn't like. While I was working on this recipe and was making batch after batch of test recipes, I came into the kitchen one day to find a whole batch was gone. I looked at dAhub. He looked at me. In a deadpan voice he said, "I hope you don't mind, but I ate the whole batch. You have so many more batches around anyway." He said this so seriously, I believed him. I must have looked completely shocked, because he laughed and showed me the tupperware he had transferred them to. Not that we needed more cinnamon rolls, because the kitchen was covered with them. But still…
I have a confession to make: I've never been a huge cinnamon roll fan. I'm not sure why. I guess it's because all the ones I ever got where the size of a dinner plate, full of a too-sweet filling, and often had raisins (not my favorite thing in most baked things.). So, I never gave them much thought until now.
As I started working on this recipe and testing batch after batch, I realized I LOVE cinnamon rolls. I can't get enough of them. Many rolls from each batch I tested went directly into my mouth (taste-testing, of course). I finally realized what people were raving about. And I finally understood dAhub's love of them. As someone who is late to the cinnamon roll party, all I have to say to them is: wow–where have you been all my life?
As I thought about and researched cinnamon rolls over the past few months, I realized that I could adapt my Dinner Roll recipe to use as the dough of the cinnamon rolls. Once I figured this out, the rest was a matter of tweaking the amount of liquid that would go into the recipe. I then had to figure out a filling and a glaze recipe. I studied many cinnamon roll recipes from the web to get ideas for the filling and frosting recipes. I liked the idea of a simple cinnamon butter filling and a simple cream cheese frosting. I played with amounts and finally came to the recipe below. I am so happy about it! And I think you will be, too!
Cinnamon Rolls, Gluten-Free
-makes 12 rolls
Special Equipment Needed
-9″ x 13″ baking pan
-rolling pin
-a stand mixer is very handy, but a hand mixer will do
-a Silpat mat is very handy, but plastic wrap will do
For the Dough
3 cups/420 g Jeanne's Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mix
2 tsp xanthan gum
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup/50 g granulated sugar
2 tablespoons active dry yeast (I use Red Star)
1 1/4 cups/300 ml warm but not hot milk (about 110 degrees F/43 degrees C)
2 tsp vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar)
4 tablespoons neutral-tasting vegetable oil (I use rice bran oil)
2 extra-large eggs
extra tapioca flour for rolling out dough and for pan
extra butter for pan
For the Filling
1/4 cup (1/2 stick; 55 g) unsalted butter
3/4 cup/160 g dark brown sugar
2 tablespoon Jeanne's Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mix
1 tsp cinnamon
-combine ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over low heat to melt butter. Stir to combine. Take off of heat and set aside.
For the Frosting
1/4 cup (1/2 stick; 55 g) unsalted butter, softened
4 oz (1/2 bar; 115 g) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup/85 g powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-combine ingredients in a small bowl and beat until combined and smooth; set aside
Butter and flour your pan with extra butter and tapioca flour; set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt,and 3 TBL sugar; set aside
-in bowl of mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together eggs, oil and vinegar until just combined
-in a small bowl (or a glass measuring cup), whisk 1 TBL sugar into milk until sugar is dissolved
-add yeast, whisk until dissolved. Set aside to proof (will look foamy on top when it's ready)
-once yeast mixture is foamy on top, add it to the wet ingredients in the bowl of stand mixer
-add dry ingredients
-with paddle attachment, beat dough on medium high for 3 minutes (dough will be very stiff)
Prepare your work surface: If you have it, place Silpat mat on work surface (or use a large piece of plastic wrap–at least 12″ x 18 inches). My Silpat mat is 12″ x 16.5″. Generously sprinkle with tapioca flour (surface should be completely covered). This will ensure that the dough won't stick to the surface.
After it has been beaten for 3 minutes, scrape out the dough onto tapioca-sprinkled work surface. The dough will be stiff and sticky. Liberally sprinkle dough and rolling pin with tapioca flour. Adequate coverage will ensure that the dough doesn't stick to the rolling pin
-roll out dough until it is 12″ x 15″ rectangle (you can also use your fingers to push it out here and there into the correct shape). It will be about 1/4″ thick.
Sprinkle filling mixture over top of dough. Leave a 1/4″ margin on the long sides and on 1 of the short ends, and a 1 inch margin at the other short end. This will help you to roll and seal the rolls. You may have to work a bit to get the dough evenly covered with filling. I use a butter knife to scrape the filling over to parts that don't have filling.
-with a pastry brush, brush the 1″ margin of dough on the one short side with water. This make it a bit sticky and will help your rolls seal at the end.
Starting at the short end that does not have the 1″ margin, carefully roll the dough into a fairly tight cylinder. This should be fairly easy if you adequately floured your work surface before placing the dough on it. If the dough sticks to the work surface, gently pick up the end of the Silpat mat (or the plastic wrap) and use that to help you push and roll the dough. Carefully and steadily roll into a cylinder, and when you reach the end (the side with the water brushed on) press this part of the dough carefully but firmly to the body of the cylinder. You should now have a roughly 12″ long cylinder (don't worry if it's a bit longer or shorter). You can pat the open ends in a bit to make them more even.
Cut your rolls: I usually sprinkle more tapioca flour onto the work surface and carefully pick up the cylinder and place it into the middle of the work surface so I have room to cut the rolls. Starting at one of the open ends, and using a ruler and a sharp knife, mark dough in 1″ increments. You should now have 12 marks.
With your knife, carefully cut the dough along the marks. I wipe off the knife after each cut. Place each roll cut side up into your prepared pan. You will have 12 rolls. The rolls should be slightly touching, but will have a bit of room around them. This is purposeful. I've found that the rolls bake best if they're not tightly squished together. If you don't have a 9″x13″ pan, then try two 8″x8″ baking pans to get the effect below:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Let the rolls rise until almost double in bulk (this usually means about 30 minutes for me in Seattle this winter). I place the pan on top of the preheating stove to take advantage of the heat to help the rolls rise.
Once sufficiently risen, the rolls will now be touching each other on all sides, but still have some space around them.
Brush the top of each roll with melted butter.
Bake at 375 degree for 35-40 minutes (the tops will be tinged with brown here and there but not totally brown).
Remove. Let cool in pan on a wire rack. You may brush the frosting on at any point now, but the warmer the rolls are, the more the frosting will melt down into the rolls (which isn't necessarily a bad thing!). I usually frost some of the rolls and leave the others plain. Both ways are terrific!

Reading body language: One of the most common items people look at but don't think about until it is brought up in conversation is the condition of shoes.
For some nationalities and places in the world the type and condition of the shoes mean just about everything and determine your social status.
Clean shoes may show the signs and signals that you are conscientious about your work. Reading the body language of someone with clean or nice shoes might show that the person being read has an extra bit of confidence.
For some trust comes from the details of knowing that the person that they are working with of for pays attention to the small details.
Reading body language experiment #1
If you were going to get a custom suit made and noticed that the man or woman who was taking the measurements had shoes on that were scuffed would you think that they would be able to do the work necessary to ensure that the suit was done correctly?
Chances are that you would have a tough time believing that they would do a good job.
Now there might be a light amount of scuffing on their shoes where the shine might have been slightly marred but excessively dirty?
In service technicians and personnel it is not uncommon to find that they have not ever cleaned their shoes and think nothing of walking into your clean house, condo or apartment without even thinking about what they are tracking in.
Think of your shoes appearance this way. If you were going to be judged by a man or woman from the ground up he or she is sizing up your nonverbal communication this way:
- · Shoes and what they look like and are they the right shoe for the event
- · The fit of the clothing that you have on
- · Your gig line (where your fly meets up with your belt and button down shirt)
- · If you have any weight hanging over your belt line
- · If your clothes are clean or not stained
- · Your teeth and if they are clean
- · Your hair
- · Your body language that is being computed, calculated and the tallied into some internal mental score.
Your shoes start the chain of events for you to be judged or end the chain of events when looking form the top down and having your nonverbal communication read.
It may not just be a woman that is reading your body language and nonverbal communication it could be a man that is judging you. It may not even matter what your mouth is saying or your nonverbal of what you are wearing the belief in your previous lack of attention to your attire may skew the message while reading your body language.
Reading body language of your attire and shoes
In reading the communication of your shoes it is important to note that there are a few things that you can do to help your mental score from the man or woman viewing you.
1. Make sure that your shoes are appropriate for your industry or event
2. Make sure that your shoes are clean and or polished
3. If your shoes are too damaged then replace them if possible
4. If your laces need to be replaced then do so, it will cost you less than $3.00
5. If your shoes need to be polished then get it done or do it yourself.
As a person in business or dating there are too many other areas where you can have a tough time making an impression so why would you risk not dealing with this one small area that can be made into a huge deal and ultimately determine what the person reading your body language decides about you.
If you are in the service industry it is a good idea to clean off your shoes throughout the day and wear floor savers inside the homes of your clients (these are the medical convers that would be worn inside of hospitals).
If you are in a business setting drop by a local mall and see if there is a place where you can get your shoes shined it should not cost you more than $10.00 in most places. As an added marketing benefit you never know who you might be sitting next to where you can make a connection or with the guys or girls polishing the shoes, they know many people you may not be able to connect with through social media or in their office. Treat them good and tip them well, they will remember you after a few visits.
There is so much to look at and inter[ret to understand what the body is saying. Understanding and reading body language is a skill that really is more relevant in today's business life than ever before. Your advantages get smaller daily why not learn how to read body language here:
As always I would like to thank you in advance for your comments and or questions about reading the body language of shoes.
Now go implement!

Sydney court gives green light for controversial buidling of Islamic schoolDecember 12th, 2008 - 12:16 pm ICT by ANI
Sydney, Dec.12 (ANI): A Land and Environment Court (LEC) in Sydney have given conditional approval on Thursday for a 1,200-student Islamic school to be built, despite it being rejected twice by the Bankstown Council.
The Daily Telegraph quoted NSW Greens MP John Kaye as saying the first problem was that the college would generate a lot of traffic and have a severe impact on residential streets. The second is the land was obtained by deception.
He claimed that the State Government was told it was going to be a residential development.
"When they first signed the contract for sale, it was signed to a company called Garden View Apartments with the understanding that it would be developed as apartments, as the name would imply. Just before the contract was finalised, Garden View Apartments exercised their right to change the name of the purchaser and they changed it to al-Amanah College. At that point the government made a massive mistake, Dr Kaye said.
"The government should have said, "No, wait a minute, we"re not going to sign the final contract … it''s very clear the government was concerned about it, people within the Department of Education became concerned about it. But they panicked and went ahead and signed … which meant basically they were in trouble.""
Dr Kaye urged Education Minister Verity Firth to use her powers to obtain the land, so it could be used for public schools.
"As soon as possible, Minister Firth needs to exercise her powers under section 125 and resume the land, and then after question, well if there''s demand for 1,200 students let''s build a public education facility there that copes with that number of students,"" he said.
The LEC will next consider the development on December 19.
Principal Mohamad El Dana said the group would make minor planning changes requested by the court and expects full approval by December 19, with stage one - a kindergarten to Year 6 school - opening in 2011.
The Bankstown Council will not appeal against the decision but some residents have vowed to continue the fight. (ANI)

Hypnosis may be useful in weight loss with obstructive sleep apnoea. The following research summarizes clinical findings on the effectiveness of hypnosis on this condition.
Research Summary: Randomised, controlled, parallel study of two forms of hypnotherapy (directed at stress reduction or energy intake reduction), vs dietary advice alone in 60 obese patients with obstructive sleep apnoea on nasal continuous positive airway pressure treatment. Measured weight lost at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 months after dietary advice and hypnotherapy, as a percentage of original body weight.
Key Findings: All three groups lost 2-3% of their body weight at three months. At 18 months only the hypnotherapy group (with stress reduction) still showed a significant (P < 0.02), but small (3.8 kg), mean weight loss compared to baseline. Analysed over the whole time period the hypnotherapy group with stress reduction achieved significantly more weight loss than the other two treatment arms (P < 0.003), which were not significantly different from each other.

Easy tricks to outsmart your appetite
By: Kerri-Ann Jennings

Watch: Weight-Loss Tricks That Really Work
You know that one of the keys to losing weight is eating fewer calories. But it can be hard to know how to cut back without feeling deprived or hungry. As a registered dietitian and the associate nutrition editor of
Magazine, I know there are a bunch of tricks that can help you consume fewer calories without feeling deprived.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
It's hard to resist temptation when it's staring you in the face. When office workers were given candies in clear dishes to place on their desks, they helped themselves to candy 71 percent more often than a similar group that was given the same candy in opaque dishes so that the candy wasn't visible, according to research by Brian Wansink, Ph.D., director of the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab in Ithaca, New York. "We're all on the 'see-food' diet," he says, "so don't let yourself see what you don't want to eat." Do yourself a favor and keep tempting foods out of your sight. If you're going to keep snacks at home, stash them inside a cupboard; keep healthier options like apples out on the counter.
Must-Read: "
Bad" Foods You Should Be Eating
Focus on Your Food
If you eat while you're distracted—like when you're watching TV or even thinking about other things—you may end up eating more without even enjoying it. A new study in the journal
found that people who ate lunch while listening to a recording that cued them to pay attention to the look, smell, taste and texture of their food ate fewer cookies as a snack later on. Rather than mindlessly plowing through food, take time to savor it.
10 Secrets of Intuitive Eating
Is Eating at Your Desk Making You Gain Weight?
Eat with Chopsticks
An easy way to slow down your eating (which can help you lose weight) is to put your fork down between bites—or consider using chopsticks. When eating, it takes 20 minutes for your body to register fullness. And according to a University of Rhode Island study, you can save 70 calories by eating slowly over about half an hour versus eating in under 10 minutes. If you ate slower at every meal, that would translate into losing about two pounds a month.
Lose 2 Pounds a Week with These Diet Meal Plans
Fill Up on Fiber
Vegetables are low in calories, but their water and fiber content make them filling. Whole grains (like brown rice, quinoa, 100% whole-grain bread) are also more satisfying than refined grains, so you might find you can feel fuller on a smaller portion. (
Read these easy swaps to boost your fiber intake throughout the day
Size Down Your Dinnerware
A smaller portion will look meager if served on a gigantic plate (I know…I had this experience at a restaurant the other night). Invest in 7-inch plates (about the size of a salad plate) to eat your meals on: they will look more ample. Another trick you can take from new research by Brian Wansink, published in the
Journal of Consumer Research
, is to make sure your plates and bowls contrast color-wise with your food—e.g., oatmeal served in a red bowl rather than a white one. Researchers found that participants ate less when served food in a high-contrast plate or bowl, likely because it made their portion even more noticeable.

The kids had such a great time making this craft at the Jersey City Spring Festival with me last week, I wanted to share this 'how to' so you can make these puppets at home with your children in preparation for Easter on April 16. If you do make them at home, this week, tag @jcfamilies on social media so we can take a look at your great creations!
Materials you will need:
– Popsicle sticks
– Card stock paper in light colors (I purchase mine from Michael's craft stores in the city)
– Scissors
– Markers
– Clear Tape
– Stickers
Step 1 Cut out bunny shapes (and eggs if you'd like) out of card stock paper. Older kids will enjoy doing this part themselves. Younger children will need an adult's help or you can even purchase pre-cut shapes at your local craft store or online.
Step 2 Attach a Popsicle stick to the back of each bunny shape with a piece of clear tape.
Step 3 Decorate the bunnies using markers. This is the best part for children – as they can really showcase their creativity! Have them add clothing to the bunny, funny facial expressions or even glasses!
Step 4 Add some festive stickers as a finishing touch. This part is especially fun for toddlers.
As you can see from these examples, children add their own wonderful spin on this craft. Aside from being used for imaginary play, these puppets can be added to plants for decoration, or as a centerpiece for Easter breakfast.

Eoghan gets tour invite from Boyzone
Eoghan Quigg could star alongside Irish pop giants Boyzone on their UK and Ireland arena tour next year.
Over 15 million viewers tuned in to last week's show when Eoghan was joined on stage by the popular boy band while he belted out their hit, Picture Of You. And he impressed them so much they issued a personal invitation to the 16-year-old to join them on their two-month tour.
Singer Ronan Keating revealed the news on Friday night during a Boyzone Special on RTE's Late Late Show.
And Eoghan, who joined the band on stage, told host Pat Kenny he would love to be included in the tour, which kicks off in Belfast on May 24.
Meanwhile, Eoghan is to appear in the X Factor stars tour starting on February 24 in Aberdeen and including a sell-out night in the Odyssey Arena.

Nasal Breathing
One of the readers asked how I handle breathing really cold air when winter running. I quickly replied by suggesting nasal breathing. This is because the nasal passages will warm and humidify the cold dry air as it comes in, making it easier for your lungs to process. I am a "believer" in nasal breathing all of the time for other reasons as well. I thought it would be a great blog topic.
I started with the usual google search on the topic before writing the blog, and it seems to be a controversial topic. The first hit for my search landed me on this page:
The article ends with this quote: "THE BOTTOM LINE: Just breathe. It doesn't matter whether you're breathing out of your nose or your mouth while you exercise." Hmm, sounds pretty bad for my hypothesis that nasal breathing is the way to go. The article references and quotes a professor from UC Davis. ""Breathe freely!" says Dr. James Shaffrath, a lecturer of exercise biology, neurobiology, physiology and behavior at the University of California, Davis. ". Dr Shaffrath does make two exceptions to his suggestion that it just does not matter.
His first exception is cold and dry weather:
"The only time consciously breathing through your nose may be beneficial, Shaffrath says, is when the air temperature and humidity are extremely low, like in Minnesota in the winter, or on top of Denali. At that point, your nose's ability to humidify and warm the air before it enters the lungs may help you breathe more easily."
The second exception is for asthmatics:
"a 2008 study suggests that you, in particular, may want to make a general effort to breathe nasally, as mouth breathing may exacerbate asthma. In the study, eight resting volunteers with mild asthma breathed solely through their noses for one hour on one day, then solely through their mouths for one hour on another day. Lung function declined when they breathed only orally, and three subjects coughed and wheezed at the end of the mouth-breathing hour."
However, the conclusion of the article is to just breathe how you breathe (unless it is cold or you have asthma). OK, I am now feeling better about my position that nasal breathing is the right way to go. From my experience it is a skill that needs to be practiced and learned. If you should find yourself needing it on a cold dry day when boiling water turns instantly to snow, or even on a moderately cold capital district winter day, and if you have not learned how to do it you will not be able to. Also, perhaps if it helps an asthmatic get more air, it just might help people without asthma as well.
It has I think worked for me. Prior to running besides being flat footed, I was pretty much only a mouth breather. Because chi-running, Born to Run, and Scott Jurek suggest nasal breathing, it became something I worked on. As it is put in the second link in my google search (http://www.nomeatathlete.com/breathing-when-running/), "And if it's good enough for Scott Jurek, well, it's good enough for me."
I did come up with a way to help learn to nasal breath. If you take a mouth full of water and just hold it in your mouth when you are running you will have no choice but to use your nose to breath.
I found another interesting link:
"Here are some pictures of Tarahumara running. You can watch YouTube videos with Tarahumara running style. Then you can discover that nose breathing during running is nearly the norm and provides the key to understanding legendary Tarahumara running."
So, if it is good enough for the Tarahumara it is good enough for me.
How do you breathe? Let me know in the comments here, or on our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/therunnersblogpage (don't forget to like us).
Boston week 6
Training for Boston this April is still on track. This was a recovery week, so the hard stuff starts next week.

You may also try another DNA polymerase. I use Rainbow (www.extremozyme.com).

Dear G.V.,
How is your work going? All this time I have been wanting to write you about the ending to Orthodox's article, i.e., the later addendum concerning Berdayev's article[2] in No. 6 of Mir Bozhy. Our Struvefreundliche Partei[3] rejected this ending by a majority of 2 3/4 votes against 1 1/4 (Alexei "divided himself" into 3/4 and 1/4)—I was left in the minority with my "in favour". They didn't like the note on romantic love either, no? the general character of the addendum. In my opinion, however, it gave a brief, sharp, clear and business-like rebuff to the gentleman in question? the concluding verses are especially good!
We are again told in letters from Russia that there is to be a congress of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party—in one town even an invitation has been received. It is extremely important to make haste with the programme. Write, please, whether you are thinking of undertaking and can undertake this work. Apart from you and P. B. there is really no one: the formulation requires intensive thinking put, but with the bustle existing here, for example, it is quite impossible to concentrate and give proper thought to it. Those old drafts of the programme and the article (that is, one draft and one article) which. Alexei brought you—and which he quite wrongly took back—are hardly likely to be of much use, are they? What do you think? If, however, you need them, we shall immediately send them to you.
I have ordered Shakhovskoi and Tezyakov.[4] Why do you need them for the programme? You are not thinking of drawing up demands for the agricultural workers on the basis of them, are you? And what is your attitude to demands for the peasantry? Do you in general accept the possibility of such demands in the Russian Social-Democratic programme?
The proofs of your article have not yet come. Zarya No. 2 contains: Old Believer on Russkoye Bogatstvo, V. I. on Berdayev, I have written on the Witte memorandum and trounced the Preface[5] (I am thinking of sending it to you for your advice, but I don't know whether there will be enough time), Alexei has an essay on "The Tasks of the Socialist Intelligentsia"—you have seen it, what do you think of it? I shall write, too, against Chernov.[1] . And will you do the review of the miscellany At the Post of Honour?
For Iskra (No. 6 is being set up and will appear in July, No. 7 should appear in August) we are expecting from you articles concerning the letter of a worker and on the "Rebirth of Revolutionism in Russia".
Parvus is still standing by his "organisation"!
Kautsky passed through here. He is going on holiday and does not promise to write anything just now.
Nevzorov has sent Iskra a "disgusting" (the comment of V. I. and Puttman) article against the article "Where To Begin"[6]—a hymn to the committees, a defence (evasive) of Rabocheye Dyelo, etc. We shall return it to the author (we shall make a copy and send it to you, if you like).
Yes, regarding the plan of federation or amalgamation with the Union, I hope you have seen our counter-plan? If not, ask Koltsov to get it from Dvinskaya. I doubt whether anything will come of this.
All the very best.
Oh, yes, about the money from the Belgians for our movement. I think one-third should be given to Rabocheye Dyelo: for the sake of 50–100 francs it is not worth while to give cause even for talk.

What is a Conservative?
What is a Conservative?By Peter Andrew ConservativeAmerican.org People toss around terms like liberal and conservative, but do we all know what these terms mean? What does a conservative American believe? What does it mean to be conservative? Why should we support conservatives? Many people think of "conservative" as a dirty word, almost a fringe element of politics, thanks to a few goofballs in the public and a whole bunch of democrats in the media. Let's set the record straight. Conservatives are not mean. Conservatives don't hate other people based on race, sexual orientation or religion. Conservatives don't want to convert everyone to Christianity or force God on anyone. Conservatives believe things you believe. We share your values. Like you, we think the United States of America is the greatest nation on earth. So what does it mean to be conservative? Below is a list of 14 core values of conservatives. You might be surprised to learn you are a conservative afterall! *What the Conservative American believes in, values we share with you:
– not just eliminating scheduled spending increases, but finding
failing and unnecessary government programs to eliminate completely,
perhaps even eliminating entire federal departments. Fiscal
responsibility. * Less Government Regulation –
Government needs to find ways to help employers, not hinder their
ability to succeed. Unnecessary laws should be eliminated. "Government
is not the answer to our problems, government is the problem." – Ronald
Reagan * The Strongest Military in the World – the best people, technology, strategies and equipment providing peace through strength and wisdom. Providing security for our nation and our people. * Honoring the Military – most pay levels for the military are substantially out of date and too low. This is one area where the...
