If you have come to this page by chance, this is only a part of a series of diary entries so please click here to read the full story
So, if you have read the habit 4 diary you will know that I think I have a plan for my next habit, and it is all to do with portion size.
If you haven't been reading through consecutively or have come across this page by chance, I suggest you start from the beginning and read the whole story here
This is the plan and I've started today:
The usual rules I've made for myself on nutrition apply, that is to make sure all nutrients are covered and catered for in the meal. Fats, carbohydrates, proteins, micronutrients, fibre and water.
Eat any meal as long as the above applies, just watch the portion size. Also have a dessert/ pudding or something else special after the meal - make sure it is immediately after the meal, and no eating pudding while the main meal is cooking any more - it has to be after. The pudding also needs to be portion controlled.
And the whole meal has to be eaten in one sitting - not spread out and no gap between the meal and the dessert. Then nothing for at least 2 hours from when the meal has ended.
Also I am going to deal with portion control without fretting over whether there is too much fat in relation to the quantity of carbohydrates and stuff like that just concerning myself with making sure everything is present in the meal even if there is too much of it. As long as there is not too little of it. Reducing fat can come at a later date for either health reasons, or if I am still not losing weight.
I think the answer lies partly in plate and bowl size and to prove it I have taken pictures of some of my crockery.
Below is a photo of a modern dinner plate next to a vintage dinner plate. You can see how our expectations have changed in regard to the size of our meal over the years
Now see the vintage dinner plate in relation to a modern side plate - they are very much the same size.
...... and wow just see how small a vintage side plate is in relation to a modern one
Now see these 2 soup bowls
....... and these two shallow bowls - the vintage bowl on the left
OK so lets see how I get on then
Actually, some days are going to be easier than others because some evenings I have classes and meetings, so it's straight out after tea and no chance to eat until I get home a couple of hours later
Various unavoidable issues have got a bit in the way over the last couple of weeks, so I haven't been making any diary entries. Also not every day has gone to plan as foar as eating is concerned - but this is how life goes. You can't always eat thoughtfully and sometimes special occasions call for an alteration in eating patterns.
I'm actually a starting to find these occasions easier to deal with and am starting to deal with them much like a skinny person does, by not depriving myself of what I fancy, realising that this is only for the occasion, and although eating more than usual, not going totally over the top.
I have managed to keep to small portion times for my early evening ain meal and the 2 hours until I eat again are entirely doable with minimum heartache if you get my drift.
However my weight is still the same This is probably because my evening snacking is out of hand - but that is for my next and hopefully last habit change in the new year.
Now if you have been following my diaries, you will know that I have only concerned myself with two things regarding my habit changes. That is firstly the quantity I eat and secondly making sure every nutrient needed is included ie fat, fibre, protein, carbohydrate, water and micronutrients.
Now that some of my new habits are very much established now, and now that my weight has stabilised, I think it is time I could start doing some micro changes in relation to quantities of certain nutrients and calories. So beginning today I am also making one tiny change to my mid morning snack break and replacing the biscuit with a seeded whole meal cracker. This will reduce my calories and fat intake for that snack by a small amount, but I will still be getting some fat from the seeds and the full fat yoghurt.
And as before, not to fret if I run short - it's not a disaster to have a biscuit instead on some days
Oh dear - there's so much naughty food lying around at work for everyone to help themselves to. I am eating things between snacks and meals again and have put on a little more weight

So, anyway, introducing next year's badge.....
Please feel free to download it and link to this blog.
(if you are curious as to how I made this gorgeous badge - I used picmonkey. It is an online tool that allows you to play around with your images - cool, hey?)
Now, remember, we are off on our big European adventure in less than 48 hours now (and I have managed to take a tumble in the garden down some steps and hit my head on a metal garden arch - chasing one of the kitty cats, of course - I have a big bump on my head, scrapes, aches, grazes and bruises and a headache the size of the Sydney Harbour Bridge plus I am just getting over a very sore throat - but will any of that stop me from getting on that plane on early Thursday am - no way! I cannot wait to see my daughter after eighteen months!).

World Series 2018 : will continue Saturday night, as the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers play Game 4, their second of three scheduled contests out west. The Red Sox currently lead the best-of-seven series by a 2-1 margin after a marathon Game 3 loss that ended with a Max Muncy walkoff homer.
You might be wondering which team a projection systems favor to win the championship. To answer that question, we've decided to highlight the simulations done by Strat-O-Matic — which, we'll note, has been more accurate than not in past falls.
Entering Game 4 of the World Series, the overriding question has to be which team has more left in the tank after the 7-hour, 20-minute endurance test that was Game 3.
The Dodgers obviously have the momentum and emotional high of a series-saving win, while the Red Sox went all-in for Game 3 and busted, burning their scheduled Game 4 starter, Nathan Eovaldi. Both teams ran through all of their relievers, but Boston seemed worse for wear in the end, particularly Eduardo Nunez, who seemed to suffer a variety of leg injuries as the game wore on.
The most important thing of the day: After being one out from taking a 3-0 stranglehold on the series, the Red Sox suffered a gut-wrenching loss and are left scrambling for a starting pitcher for Game 4. Despite still holding the series lead, Boston will need to dig deep to prevent the feeling that things are slipping away.
et another one-run game. Manny Machado and Cody Bellinger each homer, giving the Dodgers a 4-1 lead. Kenley Jansen bends but doesn't break, and just like that, the simulated series moves on to a Game 5 with the teams tied at two games a piece.
Of course, for the Red Sox to lead 3-1 heading into Game 5, they'll need to prove Strat wrong about what happens in Game 4. Otherwise, we'll head into Sunday night with an even series.
It was not the pitchers' duel that many had hoped for, but Chris Sale and a group of Boston relievers managed to get past Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers bullpen on Tuesday as Boston beat Los Angeles, 8-4, in Game 1 of the World Series 2018
[Game 2: Follow our live coverage of the Dodgers vs. Red Sox from Fenway Park]
The Red Sox had just one extra-base hit through six innings — a double — but they got a pinch-hit three-run homer by Eduardo Nunez in the seventh that all but ended the Dodgers' hopes of a comeback.

— Snack Time Fantasy (@Snack_TimeFS) October 24, 2018
The Boston Red Sox opened the 2018 World Series by doubling up the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday, posting an 8-4 win to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Boston broke open the nip-and-tuck affair when pinch-hitter Eduardo Nunez slugged a three-run shot in the bottom of the seventh to turn a 5-4 game into an 8-4 win for the Red Sox, who are seeking their fourth championship since 2004.
Now the Dodgers, back in the Fall Classic for the second straight season, look to even the series at one game apiece with Wednesday's Game 2.

TV channel: FoxRegionals, super regionals, qualifiers, (rainouts), they all boil down to this: the 2018 College World Series finals.
The Arkansas Razorbacks — or Diamond Hogs, if you prefer — earned their ninth appearance in the College World Series, but are still searching for that elusive championship. The last time they made it to the College World Series finals was 1979, losing to Cal State Fullerton. The Razorbacks are searching for their first finals win in Omaha since 2012.
On the other side of the diamond, the Oregon State Beavers are hoping to break the dam of disappointment and secure their first national title since 2007, despite making the College World Series in 2013 and 2017. They were eliminated in the 2017 semifinals by eventual runner-up LSU.

The Hogs boast one of the nation's top power-hitting lineups: they've mashed 98 home runs this year, tied for third-most in the country. The Beavers feature Nick Madrigal, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft and one of the best hitters in the nation.
The numbers and talent lean in favor of the Razorbacks, but a championship pedigree follows the Beavers.
Three games (if necessary) will determine the best college baseball team in the country, and they started Tuesday.

Red Sox vs Dodgers
Red Sox vs Dodgers: The 2018 World Series resumes on Friday night, with the Los Angeles Dodgers hosting the Boston Red Sox for the first time in the best-of-seven series. The Dodgers need the home-field advantage right now — they enter trailing the Red Sox by a 2-0 margin. As such, there's a chance that Fenway Park has hosted its final game of the season.

That, as you can probably guess, is as inordinately high percentage of runs scored in such situations — 50.8 percent as of the Kinsler ribbie above. This is also a short-run aberration for them. During the regular season, the Boston offense put up a lower OPS with two outs than they did with one or no outs. As well, they scored just 37.6 percent of their total runs with two outs. On another level, though, runs are runs, and the Sox have gotten them when they needed them in the 2018 postseason.
Red Sox: The Red Sox are sitting relatively comfy. Even if they win just one of the three games in Los Angeles, they'll return home with two chances to get the series-clinching victory. That seems doable. If and how the Red Sox manipulate their lineup to get J.D. Martinez's stick in there will be something worth watching — it doesn't seem likely that Mookie Betts will play second base, meaning they could have Betts shift to center with Jackie Bradley Jr. hitting the bench.
Dodgers: It's pretty simple, right? The Dodgers need Buehler to come up big to avoid falling into a near-insurmountable 3-0 deficit. Buehler has at times looked like the best pitcher in L.A.'s rotation, so he's certainly capable of getting the Dodgers back into this series. If he fails, however, the Dodgers will be in an awful position.

Beyond UD
By Meaghan Crowley, '13
In the Spring of 2013, I found myself at what felt like a foggy crossroad where I couldn't really see my destination. I was embarking on a semester of student teaching and had absolutely no idea what it meant to dress professionally. (Still don't?) I also had no idea what I was going to do after graduation. I graduated and lived to tell the tale. Life took a turn and I ended up doing a year of service with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest in Juneau, Alaska. Community, Simplicity, Social and Ecological Justice, and Spirituality became the pillars of a transformative year. But critical to my arrival in Alaska, was the process of discernment.
So if you are a soon-to-be second semester Senior, or Junior beginning to think about a year of service, and want some set-aside time to think, pray, and talk about a year of service and post-grad life, consider registering for the Beyond UD mini course (UD1 421) on Tuesday evenings from 7-8 PM. If nothing else, remember what you choose to do next is simply one step along the way. You will take many steps on your journey. Who knows, maybe those steps will lead you to Alaska.

I just want to write and write just for an excuse to use these pens!

The GARDNERZ (Sweden) "It All Fades" CD EP review by Metal Disciple
The GARDNERZ (Sweden) "It All Fades" CD EP review
by Metal Disciple
By George Washburn
Sweden's The Gardnerz released their first album ("The System of Nature") last year, and now they have released a follow up EP called "It All Fades." These guys play a combination of death and doom metal. What is with the name? Are they trying to make having a green thumb cool? Who knows, but as long as the music is good I do not care.
"It All Fades" may be labeled an EP, but its six tracks clocks in at 36 minutes which is as long or longer than many full albums. I would not go so far as to say I have not heard anything like this before, but I will say I do not hear albums like this one very often. The way they combine the heavy and growling elements of death metal with the slower pace, ponderous riffing and cleaner vocals of doom is very refreshing and I am enjoying it immensely. Listening to just one track does not give you an accurate portrayal of what this band is about. I like that.
Like a box of Cracker Jacks with a prize in the middle, the third song on the EP is an interesting interpretation of Darkthrone's "Transylvanian Hunger." The Darkthrone version is of course a classic example of mid-90s Norwegian black metal. If someone asked me what black metal sounded like I could point them to "Transylvanian Hunger" and be sure they were getting the right idea. The Gardnerz version is about as far from black metal as you can get; it sounds acoustic, and the vocals, rather than gravelly black metal screams are the clean and beautiful guest vocals of Paulina Strikavka. Side by side one might not guess that these were the same song. Kudos to the band on having the guts for such a daring cover song.
Overall, "It All Fades" was a very nice surprise. When I have time I fully intend to look up their first album and give it a listen.

Touring Tiny Digs
Tiny homes are taking over the country. It is hard to turn on the t.v. (especially my favorite HGTV) without some sort of show about building, renovating or buying a tiny home. Portland already had one tiny house hotel, but this past weekend Tiny Digs opened on NE Glisan & 28th and already has an amazing presence. The location couldn't be better, with tons of great restaurants and bars in the area and easy access to anywhere in Portland.
Right now the hotel has 6 different tiny homes, each with a different theme. Each tiny house is fully furnished and comes with light cooking options, shower, flushing toilet, complimentary tea & coffee, and an attached deck. Some are even pet friendly! Their goal is to expand to 13 different rooms, and I can't wait to see what the new themes will be! All of the decor is on point, and they seem like the perfect home base while staying in Portland.
The rooms are scattered around a communal area complete with fire pits, many seating areas and great hang out spots. They are planning on doing different events in the shared space, and they hosted their opening party on Saturday night, complete with food trucks, fire dancers and great energy.
Check out the homes below and let your friends and family who are coming into town know all about it! It would even be the perfect location for a Portland stay-cation :)


text: I think the Civic Center Renovation is good for the city. It would attract more shows and sports to the building, and let in more people to see the show. The equipment would probably new and state of the art. More food venders offering different foods then the regular pizza, hotdogs, fries and so on. The restrooms which get flooded with people during intermissions would have more stalls and urinals. The halls would be wider so people aren't crammed together when trying to get out. There would be maybe more space in thestage area and some more seating. The outside would stand out from the rest of the buildings. It would catch everyones eye when passing by. The owners hope to have more glass on the outside and lights. The lights would advertise games or other events or just change colors. So I think the renovation would be good. It might be costly but with good outcomes. The new Megaberths that can now fit to large cruise ships defiantly took some money. Though that money will be paid off when the ships start coming.

The basis for analysis of all chemical and metallurgical processes is the mass and energy balance. Plant design, capital costs, and technical evaluations are all dependent on such calculations. METSIM is a general-purpose process simulation system designed to assist the engineer in performing mass and energy balances of complex processes. METSIM uses an assortment of computational methods to effect an optimum combination of complexity, user time, and computer resources usage.
METSIM originated as a metallurgical process simulation program, written to perform mass balances around the major unit operations of complex process flowsheets. Application of the program proved so successful that it was expanded to include detailed heat balances, chemistry, process controls, equipment sizing, cost estimation, and process analysis. The unique nature of the programming language, APL, allows modification and expansion of the system with minimum effort and permits the incorporation of continuing technological innovations in process simulation.

School Of The Americas Watch
Take Action: Click here to send a message about the military coup to the State Department
On Wednesday, 1 July 2009, the Honduran Congress announced a suspension of citizens' rights in Honduras for 24 hours.
Citizens may not organize or otherwise congregate for any reason, and homes may be entered by government forces without permit. The curfew that has been in place since Sunday has been extended for 6 more days.
Supporters of the resistance maintain their commitment to publicly protest the coup and demand the return of President Zelaya and democratic rule.
There is a foreseen escalation in aggression from the government and army against the resistance movement.
Other sources from inside Honduras report that that campesinos and indigenous peoples from rural areas continue marching on foot towards the capital to join the protests in Tegucigalpa, in which tens of thousands of people are already participating.

Station project still on track in Shepherdstown
By DAVE McMILLION / Staff Writer, Charles Town
SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. - The effort to convert an old train station in Shepherdstown into a center offering health services and space for community events is coming to fruition.
Organizers of the project are negotiating with a dentist who wants to move into the building, and classes to teach karate, fencing and other subjects already are being held in the building, said Rob Northrup, president of The Station at Shepherdstown.
Shepherd College has been holding some of its nursing classes there, and local caterer Sylvia Ellsworth has agreed to work as a booking agent to arrange chamber music events and similar activities at the station, Northrup said.
"I think it's going to be real exciting," Northrup said recently at the Shepherdstown Men's Club. Northrup spoke to about 80 people last week at a meeting of the club to update them on the progress of the project.

French President Emmanuel Macron's République en Marche Party scored an impressive victory in this week's parliamentary elections, writes David Tresilian in Paris
In a result that is being seen as a vote of confidence in French President Emmanuel Macron's programme for social and economic reform in France, the République en Marche Party (REM — the Republic on the Move) was handed an impressive victory by voters in the second round of the country's parliamentary elections on Sunday, winning 308 of the 577 seats in the Assemblée nationale, the lower house of the French parliament.
According to figures released by the Ministry of Interior in Paris after voting ended at 8pm on Sunday, Macron's political party came out on top in constituencies across the country, pushing France's traditional left and right-wing parties, the formerly ruling Socialist Party and the opposition mainstream right Républicains, into minority groupings in the parliament for the first time since the emergence of the country's familiar bi-polar political system.
However, the result, though giving the REM an absolute majority in the Assemblée nationale bolstered by its allies in the MoDem Party which won a further 42 seats, has raised misgivings across the country, including within Macron's own political grouping. Not only did Macron not win the landslide victory that the pollsters had predicted based on the results of the first round of the elections on 11 June, but the result was based on an historically low turn-out of some 43 per cent.
This means that fewer than one French voter in two voted in the elections and that many of the new MPs will have been elected on the basis of the votes of perhaps a quarter of those registered to vote.
When added to fears that the collapse of France's former ruling parties has left a void in the heart of French politics that Macron's movement, based apparently on little more than the charisma of the president, has appeared to fill, the widespread abstention has led some commentators to warn that the election could underline the disenchantment of the electorate with mainstream politics and the alienation of sections of the population from the political institutions.
According to the popular Paris daily Le Parisien, commenting on the results on Monday morning, "by voting for the extremes in the first round of the presidential elections [when both the mainstream right and the mainstream left candidates were eliminated] and now by their massive abstention in the second round of the parliamentary elections, French voters have expressed first their anger, and now their indifference, towards a political system that interests them less and less."
For the left-wing daily Libération, also commenting on the results in its Monday morning edition, Macron, "the man from nowhere, is now everywhere," having led his personal political party to victory in first the presidential and now the parliamentary elections.
However, the risk was, the paper said, that he would now make use of his absolute majority in the Assemblée nationale and the collapse in the mainstream left vote to abandon the hopes that many left-wing voters had invested in him, leaving significant sections of the population ignored and unrepresented in the political institutions.
For the establishment daily Le Monde, commenting on the first round of the parliamentary elections earlier in June when the prospect of an even larger REM victory was in evidence, the danger was that the party would now encounter "practically no opposition. The mainstream right is half as important as it was, the Socialist Party is dead, the Front National and the [extreme-left] La France insoumise [France in Revolt] have retreated massively from the results they scored in the presidential elections."
While the REM had scored an impressive victory, Le Monde said, the party was "very far from representing large sections of the population… These parliamentary elections risk increasing another huge problem of our political system — its lack of representation."
Many seats had been gained with very few votes as a result of massive abstention, and there was a danger that the new MPs would end up simply talking among themselves given that they came from the same social backgrounds, driving real contestation of government policy onto the streets.
Radical leftist Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the La France insoumise Party and a candidate in the first round of the presidential elections in April, has described the new parliament as being unrepresentative of large parts of the population and as having been "wrongly elected", urging his supporters to take to the streets in "resistance" to government plans to introduce economic reforms in a "social coup d'état".
However, in commenting on the results of the second round of the elections Le Monde appeared to have changed its tune, saying on Monday that "the opposition, even if weakened, is alive and well in the new Assemblée nationale," with the new government being held to account by "parliamentary groups that will fully discharge their role, though without being able to block legislation."
The newspaper adopted an upbeat tone in its reporting of the results, saying that three-quarters of the new MPs had never been in parliament before and that French parliamentary life, notoriously middle-aged, white and masculine in the past, had now become younger and more diverse and included 40 per cent of women MPs.
It nevertheless warned that the historically unprecedented abstention rates in the elections were "not healthy". No democracy "can tolerate for long seeing certain social classes, in this case the popular classes, and certain age groups, in this case young people, lurching from protest votes," as happened in the first round of the presidential elections, to "long periods of abstention", the newspaper said.
Other parties faring badly in Sunday's elections included the extreme-right Front National Party, whose president, Marine Le Pen, fought Macron for the French presidency in the second round of the presidential elections in May. While Le Pen was herself elected to parliament, her party only gained eight seats in a result that is being seen as ending its ambitions of being a credible political party at the national level.
However, the real loser in Sunday's elections was the former ruling Socialist Party, which saw its number of MPs reduced from 280 in the outgoing parliament to 30 in this one. This means that for the time being at least the Socialist Party has become irrelevant in French parliamentary politics, a remarkable result given the role it has played over recent decades and since the election of the first Socialist Party president of the French Fifth Republic, François Mitterrand, in 1981.
The mainstream right Républicains Party did slightly better than expected, winning 113 seats. While this means that it will be able to form an at least mildly effective opposition in the Assemblée nationale, where the signature of 58 MPs is required to present a motion of no confidence in the government and 60 are needed to appeal to the Conseil Constitutionnel which decides on the constitutional basis of legislation, many Républicains MPs are likely to support the new government's programme, particularly on economic issues.
Macron and his government now find themselves in an ideal position to push through the legislation required to continue the programme of social and political reform on which he won the presidential elections, handing him the second part of a double mandate after his victory in the presidential elections in May.
Little has happened on a domestic political level in France since then as the country awaited the results of the parliamentary elections, but now Macron will presumably aim to continue the momentum that brought him to the presidency by pushing through his programme for change.
A déclaration de politique générale, or statement of government priorities, is expected on 4 July, being the French equivalent of the Queen's speech in the UK. After that it is expected that the new parliament will debate a new law on the "moralisation of public life", a flagship piece of legislation intended to defuse public anger about perceptions of widespread corruption in French politics, in the first two weeks of July.
This will be followed in the second week of July by a more controversial law to shift provisions designed to fight terrorism that are currently part of the emergency laws passed following the terrorist attacks that took place in Paris and Nice in January and November 2015 and July 2016 into the regular law, presumably ending the need for the state of emergency under which France is currently ruled to be renewed as it has been periodically since November 2015.
At the end of July it is expected that the parliament will vote on Macron's controversial intention, stated but put on hold until after the parliamentary elections, to force through reforms to France's employment law by decree without having to put the changes to a vote in parliament.
Under the former Socialist Party government of previous prime minister Manuel Valls, changes to the employment law that had met with widespread protests in the streets and filibustering in parliament were forced through without a vote under special powers.
Macron has already said that he intends to force through changes by ordonnance (decree) in order to short-circuit parliamentary debate, though the absolute majority the new government now has in parliament as a result of this week's elections should mean that there is little risk of the government losing an important vote even if the proposals meet with opposition outside parliament from trades unions and others.

The kids and I spent last week in Ohio so it only seems fitting that I post a recipe for Buckeye Bars to commemorate our trip. (The buckeye tree is the state tree of Ohio.)
Buckeye Bars
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup crushed vanilla wafers
2 cup powdered sugar
8 ounces frozen cool whip topping
3 ounces semisweet chocolate
Cream butter and peanut butter until well blended. This is such a cool picture because the mixture was all one color. The shadows made it look like it was half chocolate and half peanut butter though. Super cool photo.
Mix in vanilla wafer crumbs.
Gradually add powdered sugar.
Press mixture into a foil lined 8 inch square baking pan.
Combine frozen cool whip and 3 ounces of semisweet chocolate.
Melt in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir until melted.
Pour over bottom layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Cut into squares. In retrospect, it might have been easier to freeze the bars slightly before cutting.
As for our Ohio vacation. We all had a fabulous time. These pictures say it all.
Now that is what summer is all about!

If your child is anything like my
gargantuan robust toddler, then she will outgrow the straps on her sun hat waaaaaaay before she outgrows the hat itself. And I don't know about you, but I can't convince the Littlest Brewster to keep her hat on voluntarily for love or money.
But they don't make hats with straps in bigger sizes! At least not at Target, which is essentially the only place I ever shop.
So Mama got crafty and extended the life of the Littlest Brewster's sun hat for another summer.
All you need are 3 of those little cloth covered hair ties, a needle, and some thread. Moms of boys – I guarantee you that your mom friends who have girls have a billion of these hair ties lying around; I doubt they would begrudge you a few.
Knot the ties together to make a chain (I have no idea how to explain the best way to do this. I'm pretty sure you all did it with your hair elastics in grade school – think back!). Then, loop the end of the hat tie through one end of the chain and sew it. Repeat on the other side.
And voila! A stretchy, soft hat extender that will keep the hat on your kid's head and the sun out of his or her eyes.
At this point, I will admit that the first time I tried to rig this, it irritated me to no end because I hadn't alternated the colors appropriately. (It went yellow-yellow-pink.) And I cringed every time I looked at it. So I finally broke down and fixed it yesterday so that it doesn't tweak my anal retentive tendencies. However, this tip does indeed still function even if you don't coordinate your hair tie colors.
Whether or not my kid could be seen with your kid and his/her mismatched hat? Well, that's another story…

ASPIRE is a quarterly magazine published by PCI in cooperation with the associations of the National Concrete Bridge Council. The editorial content focuses on the latest technology and key issues in the Concrete Bridge Industry.

SAFETY AND SERVICEABILITY Post-Tensioned Concrete: An Inherently Durable System by Dr. Andrea Schokker, University of Minnesota Duluth I teach courses in prestressed concrete and bridge design, and I am freshly reminded each semester about the inherent durability we have in our post-tensioned (PT) concrete bridge elements. While the phrase "belt-and suspenders approach" may be overused, I think it truly defines a PT system. The steel strand is separated from aggressive agents, such as moisture and chloride, by the concrete, the PT duct, and grout (or other material or coating). Additionally, we have seen active development in each of these areas over the past 15 years, particularly in PT bridge systems. I've outlined the progression of each component below with a focus on a grouted PT system. Concrete and Steel Low-permeability concrete with high quality placement has become far more common, particularly in the quality controlled, tight-tolerance environment of a bridge casting operation. We know far more about concrete materials and admixtures than we did a decade ago and the knowledge base continues to expand each year. Quality concrete, combined with the active prestressing force from the steel PT tendon, provides the foundation for a highly durable structure. With today's low-permeability concrete, cracks are the primary path for corrosive agents to reach the steel. The precompression of PT concrete keeps cracks from forming under service loads and forces any cracks that might form to close after an overload is removed. This combination of high-strength steel strand and concrete brings the best out in both materials for a solution that is customized (through PT tendon layout)to the expected loads. Duct and Anchor Protection The PT duct and anchorage protection system has been revolutionized over the past 15 years. As a PhD student with Dr. Jack Breen at the University of Texas at Austin in the late 1990s, I was part of a team studying a wide array of options for improving durability of PT systems, including duct types, grout types, anchor protection, strand coatings, galvanized strands, and prestress level.1–3 Most of the specimens contained the standard system at the time: a galvanized duct with duct-taped splices and attachments to the end trumpet, no end cap, and a nonshrink grout pour back in the anchor recess.

Funeral services were held on Saturday, Jan. 28 for a man who was struck while crossing Kingston Pike in Knoxville, Tennessee, in early December. The 53-year-old man lived for another six weeks after the car accident, before losing his battle and passing away on Jan. 18. Services for the Rule High School graduate took place at the Jarnigan and Son Mortuary chapel; the burial was at Mount Olive Cemetery.
The Payroll Tax Cut and Social Security Disability Benefits
Social Security Disability beneficiaries should not be worried about continued benefits just because of the continued payroll tax cut. Before 2011, employees and employers each paid 6.2% of taxable payroll. However, the payroll tax cut passed in December 2010 provided that the employees would pay only 4.2% in 2011. The employers' rate remained at 6.2%. The current cut is scheduled to expire on February 29, 2012. This payroll tax cut has put extra dollars into each workers' paychecks thus enabling them to spend more and, hopefully, stimulate the economy along the way.
Workplace safety reform demanded in Tennessee
Several Tennessee-based advocates of workplace safety have rallied together in an effort to reform the standards involved in work-related safety. Within six months in Tennessee, three workers tragically died on bridge projects. Two of those deaths took place in Knoxville and one in Memphis. Now, advocates from East Tennessee are standing up to say that something must be done to prevent workplace accidents.
Changes could be coming for workers' compensation
In 2011, The House Republican Small Business Task Force met on workers' compensation issues and prepared a study that state officials, business groups, labor leaders and legal experts are eager to review. The task force has some issues that they want addressed, but it may not be until 2013 before any legislative changes take place.
Tennessee considers tightening laws for elderly drivers
Driving is a symbol of freedom and independence for many people, young and old. Cars can allow us to live our lives, helping us to accomplish the things we need to do from day to day. Yet as drivers begin to age, the risk they pose to themselves and other drivers is likely to increase. The fear is that elderly drivers may serve as a catalyst for dangerous car accidents, which is why Tennessee lawmakers are thinking about adding regulations for drivers over a certain age.
Social Security Disability and SSI Claimants Deserve Responsible Representation
Social Security Disability and SSI claimants beware who you entrust your valuable disability claim to! Recently, the Wall Street Journal ran an article based on interviews with former "Binder and Binder" employees revealing potentially fraudulent behavior and misrepresentations to the government. Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma has asked for an official inquiry into the action of this "firm." Potentially fraudulent actions are bad enough, but claimants need to worry more about how these large "firms" handle and care about the claimants' particular cases. I put the word firm in parentheses because many of these groups are not even law firms or, even if they are, they utilize "non-attorney" representatives because they can be paid less. Often these groups are used by long-term disability insurance companies to "help" claimants win their Social Security Disability claims because it would lessen the benefits owed under the long-term disability plan. These groups often have names meant to confuse claimants and present an image of expertise in the area of Social Security Disability. A large number of claimants represented does not equal quality or, sadly, even competent legal representation.
Childhood SSI Benefits for ADHD
Many parents often wonder if their child qualifies for Childhood SSI disability benefits due to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Childhood SSI claims are evaluated differently than adult claims for Social Security Disability or SSI. The requirements are actually more stringent. If the child is not working and has "severe" impairments, the Social Security Administration determines whether the claimant has an impairment or combination of impairments that meets or medically equals the criteria of a listing, or that functionally equals the listings. If the claimant has an impairment or combination of impairments that meets, medically equals or functionally equals the listings, and it has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months, he is presumed to be disabled. If not, the claimant is not disabled. There is no further question of vocational steps as with an adult disability claim.
A Tennessee police officer injured while directing traffic
Traffic laws exist to help protect motorists across the state. When people fail to follow the law, accidents can occur. Car accidents are very scary and can be life-threatening. As a victim of a car accident, you may face injuries that could severely affect your life or the life of a loved one.
Changes to Rules of Conduct for Reps of Social Security Disability and SSI Claimants
Social Security Disability and SSI claimants are usually represented by Appointed Representative. The Social Security Administration recently issued final regulations revising the Rules of Conduct and Standards of Responsibility for Representatives that become effective on January 23, 2012. See 76 Fed. Reg. 80241 (Dec. 23, 2011) http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-12-23/pdf/2011-32923.pdf. The final rules revise the "prohibited actions" in the Rules of Conduct, 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1740(c) and 416.940(c), to include the following:
Fire at Young Zinc Mine injures 1, traps 3 underground
Being injured on the job can be a frightening experience. Employees in Knoxville and throughout the state of Tennessee expect that their employers will maintain a reasonably safe work environment. However, sometimes things go wrong.

The trials and tribulations of an amateur game programmer. Please tell him where he is going wrong.

The Spectrum Got There First!
Let's start with the biggy, probably the greatest breakthrough in gaming this century (or maybe the end of the last one). I'm talking about GTA3 of course, what everyone thought was revolutionary.
That is, apart from me. I thought I was having a bout of terminal deja-vu when I saw it, and was nostalghically transported back to the mid 80's, when I was playing the classic Turbo Esprit:-
Next, Wolfenstein is held up as the start of the FPS genre. Frankly, I was hoping it was the end as I was already bored of FPS'ing.
The start for me was 3D Monster Maze, almost 15 years (count'em!) earlier:-
Detractors will say "It didn't have any shooting in it!". I reply "Well, that's pretty revolutionary in itself!".
Just like Wolfenstein, Dune II is held up as the first of the RTS genres. (I've no idea what happened to Dune I).
But RTS's had been around for years already - if you owned a Spectrum (and probably most of the other popular 8-bit machines). However, Stonkers came out on the Spectrum first, and for that reason we can gloat.
And before you ask, yes, it does have resource collecting!
Last but not least is genre that never quite goes away, it's the top-down dungeon crawling game. I could have included a picture of Diablo here, but let's be fair and show Gauntlet, what many people claim to be the first (apart from those who claim it was The Dandy).
Of course, both of those people are wrong. The first game was Maziacs, and it came out on the Spectrum first (as if you needed to ask).
So if you're a games programmer working for a large megacorporation with a massive marketing budget but precious few original ideas, why not plunder a few from the Speccy back-catologue and claim them as your own?
If you can think of any more, please let me know and I'll do a "part 2" or something.

Uninspired and Pretentious. "I was already tired of FPSing" ...well fine, BE a "join date" elitist douche. I don't think it makes your point any more valid. That kind of attitude could be applied to ANYTHING in life... if you're gonna think about it that way why even bother programming, gaming, or programming games anymore? Fuck wheat man... I was eating corn way before that shit came around!
- Spummy said...
Heh, this was quite a funny read, although, the Maziacs part was wrong. If you played enough dungeon crawlers, you'd know that they're commonly called Rogue-likes, after the original Rogue, which was released in 1980 with a version of BSD, 3 years before Maziacs.
- Steve said...
True, but I would suggest that Rogue-likes are sort of turn-based and not arcade like Maziacs and Gauntlet, and don't have shooting (or do they? I'm probably wrong).
Coming next - how Way Of The Exploding Fist was probably the first ever beat-em'up!

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women in the U.S. Doctors don't yet know exactly what causes it. Once breast cancer occurs, cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body, making it life threatening. The good news is that breast cancer is often found early, before it has spread.
Breast cancer occurs when cells in the breast are changed and start to grow out of control. The ducts and the lobules are the two parts of the breast where cancer is most likely to occur.
Early breast cancer usually does not cause pain and may cause no symptoms at all. Additionally, some breast cancers never cause symptoms or other signs of a problem until they have gotten quite large and are more likely to have spread.
There are some changes that women and men should watch for, including:
The lack of early, easily identifiable symptoms makes regular breast exams and screenings essential to detect cancers as early as possible. Crozer-Keystone offers comprehensive breast imaging services, including the following breast imaging modalities.
There are several types of breast cancer, including these more common types:
This is the most common type and it begins in the lining of the ducts. When breast cancer has not spread outside of the ducts, it's called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or intraductal carcinoma. This is the most common type of noninvasive breast cancer. Invasive ductal carcinoma is breast cancer that has spread beyond the walls of the breast ducts. It's the most common type of invasive breast cancer.
This is a rare form of breast cancer that begins in the glands in or under the skin. It grows slowly and often doesn't get diagnosed and treated until it is advanced. It occurs in only one nipple, and causes symptoms that are like a skin infection, such as inflammation, redness, oozing, crusting, itching, and burning.
This is a rare form of invasive breast cancer. Usually there is no lump or tumor. Instead, this cancer makes the skin of the breast look red and feel warm. The breast skin also looks thick and pitted, like an orange peel. In its early stages, inflammatory breast cancer is often mistaken for a breast infection called mastitis.
This is a type of breast cancer that doesn't have estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors, and doesn't have an excess of the HER2 protein on the cancer cell surfaces. This type of breast cancer tends to occur more often in younger women and in African-American women. It tends to grow and spread faster than most other types of breast cancer. The most common kind is invasive ductal carcinoma.

The Department of Computing in IT Tralee has been aware of a decline in the number of students studying programming at third level. The ICT is an employment sector that is currently undersupplied with qualified graduates and companies in many cases are forced to recruit internationally. In January 2012, the Department launched an initiative "Scratch" aimed at encouraging Transition Year students to discover and learn about computing and software development. This will encourage more students to follow the computing and mathematical route to third level programmes and generate more qualified ICT graduates for the future.
The Computing Department staff, have the strong belief that it is imperative to introduce such programming concepts at a younger age - at primary school in order to have the desired future impact on the ICT sector. Hence we are introducing a pilot "ITTch" programme which will see staff from the Department of Computing visit primary schools throughout the region to deliver a course on Introduction to Programming. The course is aimed at primary 6th class students in the school.
The aim of the "ITTch" programme is to introduce students to a programming language which easily creates interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art, and to share the creations on the web. As young people create and share their projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively in a fun and exciting way. The pilot module is extracted from the NCCA approved Scratch course, and the aim is to teach both students and the 6th class teacher to continue the programme afterwards.
The four primary schools taking the "ITTch" programme on a pilot basis are:
Scoil Eoin, Ballonagh, Tralee
Gortatlea, Ballymacelligott, Tralee
Kilcummin, Killarney
Gaelscoil Mhic Easmainn, Tralee
Thanks to Paul Collins Coordinator of "ITTch" programme

Prices of liquid crystal displays for monitors and televisions will fall faster than expected this year on rising inventories, market researcher DisplaySearch said.
Average prices of LCDs for monitors, which account for more than half of total demand, peaked at US$302 in May and will drop to US$282 by December, 5 percent lower than a May 19 forecast, Texas-based DisplaySearch said in its latest monthly price report. The researcher also cut its price forecasts for LCDs used in TVs, the fastest growing market.
The lowered forecast underscores concerns that consumers may be reluctant to pay up to US$5,000 for flat-screen TVs. That's the risk companies such as Samsung Electronics Co, LG.Philips LCD Co and other producers face as they build new plants that can cost more than US$2 billion each.
"Demand for LCD TVs may not rise until prices fall much lower than current levels," said Park Hyung-ryul, who helps manage the equivalent of US$1 billion at KTB Asset Management Co in Seoul. "The impact of lower margins because of price cuts will probably outweigh any impact of higher demand."
One of the world's top five LCD monitor companies last month canceled half of its orders for 15- and 17-inch screens because of rising inventories, while another company shifted some orders to glass-tube displays instead, according to Display-Search, which didn't identify the companies.
"The party finally ended," the June 29 report said.
"There will be little opportunity for price increases and these prices may never be seen again," the report said.
LG.Philips LCD, the world's second-largest producer, this week cut the price for its initial public offering as shares of the world's seven largest panel makers fell an average 10 percent in the past month.
Average prices of LCDs for monitors fell in June for the first time in a year and will drop every month till the end of the year, when they'll be at US$282 each, compared with an earlier US$298 forecast, it said.
LCD TV panel prices rose last month by an average of US$3 to US$557 each, compared with an earlier US$563 forecast, it said. Prices will fall US$10, or 2 per-cent, this month and drop to a lower-than-expected US$523 by December, the report said.

2012 Chardonnay
2012 Chardonnay
$ 35.00
The Vineyard
Our 2012 Chardonnay comes from the Catarina vineyard located in the Carneros Region in Sonoma. This location allowed us to mature the grapes slowly and evenly while maintaining a vibrant acidity. The Robert Young or clone 17 thrives in this area of Sonoma. We partnered with a top grower, Sangiacomo. We work closely with the grower to ensure the highest quality fruit at harvest and we treat the fruit with care to ensure the wine in the bottle is a reflection of the hard work throughout the year. Our goal in the vineyard is to let the natural flavor of the Chardonnay shine, and the acidity in our wines tend toward a northern Chablis style of food friendly high acidity, mouthfeel, and balanced flavors.
The Winemaking
We hand pick and sort our fruit to optimize flavor in the vineyard. The grapes are brought to the winery extremely clean, where they undergo a second sorting. They are whole cluster pressed gently, and we keep the press fractions separate. The wine is partially fermented in tank very cool allowing for the natural esters to remain and to retain as much fruit as possible. We finish the wine in barrel and stainless drum allowing for full lees contact and fractional barrel fermentation. The wine is aged on the lees and stirred bi-monthly. We bottle after 8 months aging to retain the freshness and brightness our vineyard offers.
Winemaker's Comments
Our 2012 Chardonnay has floral aromas accented by citrus, pear, vanilla, and butter elements. The hint of oak gives this wine structure. This wine has a vibrant acidity leading to a freshness of the palate. The fruit comes through brite, and the flavors of pear, apple, vanilla, and honeysuckle really show the complexity of this wine.
As the stars fade and trails of golden light warm the earth, this Chardonnay is kissed by the sun, like freckles. The wine has hints of vanilla and is luminous on the palate.

Poached Mozzarella in Fresh Tomatoes
OUR TOMATO SEASON IS COMING TO A CLOSE. And I am eating as many as I can. This is a lovely, fresh, and flavorful way to use not only fresh tomatoes, but some of your fresh herbs. I will really miss stepping out the kitchen door to snip some fresh basil and parsley, won't you?
My Mother made this dish for me when I visited her last week. I loved it so much, I came home and made it again to share with Pritchard Parker.
It is Capri-like with the fresh tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella cheese, but it it served hot, as an open faced sandwich, with oozy cheese. The herb topping brightened with a squeeze of lemon juice adds another layer of fresh flavor.
Poached Mozzarella in Fresh Tomatoes
4 slices French bread, sliced 1/2" thick, brushed with olive oil
1/4 cup onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups fresh tomatoes (about 4) peeled and diced
1/2 cup vegetable stock
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. sliced fresh basil
3 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
Lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste
4 slices fresh mozzarella (1/2-inch thick)
Saute onion, garlic, and pepper flakes in oil over medium-high heat until onion softens, 5 minutes. Deglaze pan with wine; simmer until reduced by half, 5 minutes or so. Add tomatoes, broth, and vinegar; simmer until tomatoes begin to break down, about 10 minutes.
Toast bread under the broiler and set aside.
Toss herbs with lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper.
Add cheese to tomatoes, and cook gently until it's soft and a little gooey, 2 - 3 minutes.
Place toast in shallow bowls, lift a slice of mozzarella from the tomatoes, and place on the bread. Spoon more tomatoes around and top with some of the herb mixture.

This looks lovely, Rocquie. I too, will miss my tomatoes and fresh basil. I think I'll seed some basil in indoor pots for the winter. Frozen basil just isn't the same thing.ReplyDeleteReplies
Rosie, I have never had luck with growing basil indoors but I hope you do. I will eventually turn my heart to fall vegetables and herbs (Rosemary!). Thank you for your compliment, RocquieDelete
What a great dish! The squirrels got most of our tomatoes, although they've lost interest lately so we do have a few that are about to ripen plus plenty of green ones. This is terrific -- thanks.ReplyDeleteReplies
I remember, from your blog, about how you were trying to outsmart your squirrels. I thought this dish was pretty terrific when my Mom made it, so much so that I had to make it again. Thank you for your comment, John. Cheers, RocquieDelete
I think this looks lovely and the combination of crunchy bread, soft warm cheese and the tomatoes sounds great. I think it is the sweetness of the tomatoes we miss so in winter. We are going to pot up the basil and try to winter it over, we'll see.............ReplyDeleteReplies
Melynda, we really enjoyed this dish. I wish you luck keeping your basil going indoors. I have never had any luck with it, but of course I don't have the green thumb your husband does. Thank you for your comment. --RocquieDelete
I've never seen anything quite like this. It looks absolutely delicious. Your mother must be a fabulous cook.ReplyDeleteReplies
Lynn, yes my Mother is a fabulous cook and I am so proud of her! She is very inspiring. Thank you for taking time to comment. --RocquieDelete
