A question on rice..
Posted 07 September 2004 - 01:41 PM
So, I've been buying wholemeal of both recently, just to 'make sure' a bit.
However, I went shopping today and the store had no wholemeal rice in stock, and instead, only 'American Brown Rice'. I bought it, in preference to white rice, but was basically just wondering if this is essentially the same in terms of how it may be beneficial to acne, like wholemeal is - OR if there's no difference, apart from it being a different colour?
Posted 07 September 2004 - 01:47 PM
Generally though, brown rice is the best rice in terms of post-meal insulin/glucose response.
Posted 07 September 2004 - 02:36 PM
So brown rice is as 'good' as wholemeal rice then (in comparison to white)?
Posted 07 September 2004 - 03:03 PM
Posted 07 September 2004 - 03:11 PM
So is there any difference at all between the two - apart from the name (bearing in mind I'm also yet to taste it..)?

Korean rice is the best in taste, I love the fluffy and light texture...great stuff (note that this stuff isn't really considered "healthy")
But brown rice is pretty good, I like it much better than long grain and white rice....the taste is about the same.
Posted 07 September 2004 - 06:04 PM
So is Whole Grain the same as Wholemeal?
Well, this seperates the two but they are both complex carbs
This also seperatetes the two, but it is VERY informative
|Wholemeal, also called whole wheat flour contains 100% of the wheat grain including the bran and the germ with nothing added or taken away. It is rich in fiber to add roughage to the diet.ÃÂ http://www.baking911.....GRAIN (MEAL):
Therefore my guess is that whole grain refers to the entire product, like when you are buying grain flours more so than when you are buying whole grain breads. Perhaps Wholemeal is used to identify that it is a whole grain bread. Anyone?
Oh and here's something that's very interesting:
|I would like to note that there is a common misconception among healthy-minded people that brown rice is somehow vastly superior to white rice. Brown rice becomes white by polishing that removes a very thin layer of bran from each grain. When cooked, both types of rice contain essentially the same amount of protein: a little less than 3 grams per 100 grams. White rice is a little higher in calories ââ¬â 130 vs. 111 ââ¬â presumably because of its higher carbohydrate content (28 grams vs. 23 grams). The glycemic indices are identical at 81. The only significant difference seems to be in magnesium content, which is lower for white rice: 12 mg vs. 43 mg. However, this level of magnesium is quite low, and neither type of rice is a rich source.
Isn't it fascinating that some people believe that a magnesium defficiency is what has contributed to Type II Diabetes? Oh and that adding magnesium is what helps reduce or correct this problem. Yet for some reason, the grains that we consume the most in the U.S. have poor nutritional value to begine with! Corn, White Rice, and (refined) Wheat.
Yet the grains that are healthier for us, we rarely, if ever, consume such as:
(in decreasing order of nutrition)
Quinoa - Score of 73
(Bulgar Wheat - gluten)
(Barley - gluten)
Wild Rice
Brown Rice - Score of 51
(Triticale Wheat - gluten)
(Wheat Berries - gluten)
(Kamut Wheat - gluten)
(Rolled Oats)
(Spelt - wheat cousin, gluten)
White Rice
Corn Grits - Score of 10
This was a list that the USDA created of the "most nutritious grains" considering their Fiber, B-6, Zinc, Magnesium, Copper, and Iron content! Of course, eating these grains sprouted would also help boost nutrient absorption.

Oh yeah, there's many rice varieties. I've found that I enjoy brown rice when I cook it in natural chicken broth.
Say, when you say Korean rice, are you referring the the glutinous sticky rice, that's kinda split in the center? Also, have you ever tried Basamati (doesn't look brown) or Jasmine Rice?
Also, for those interested in nutrient values of foods, this is something a member here showed me:
Posted 07 September 2004 - 06:37 PM
say, has anyone ever been eating brown rice and they bite into a piece of rice and then the rice bites back... because of that hard shell around the rice that didn't get removed.

I don't care what anyone here says, there is no connection between rice and acne.
Generally though, white rice is avoided due to its effect on blood glucose. This can cause numerous health problems (in the long term) and weight gain in individuals prone to it.

OMG, we agree AGAIN on something. White rice was what I ate for almost 2 years on my Gluten Free Diet. It is one of the least allergenic foods (but I have met someone that it is problem for) and so its generally safe.
DESPITE what the glycemic index says, rice (white or brown) has a higher amylose starch content (& no gluten) and therefore is actually better to consume than Wheat, which has a lower glycemic value than rice. Corn also has a higher amylose content and this is something else that is my staple. Both of these things are generally not high in fiber (unless you get brown rice), but I guess because of the amylose (or lack of gluten) my Insulin Resistant self handles it wonderfully. I'm now eating varieties of brown rice for the nutrients & fiber, but for the longest time that's what I ate.
Snapback, in case you are wondering, amylose is type of dietary starch found in only 20% of the plant foods we eat. It is harder/slower to digest than the other form os starch (amylopectin) and that's probably why it works to keep your sugar levels more balanced. They actually breed corn to have as much as 80% amylose, but I don't know how much they naturally have. Rice tends to have 5% - 10% more amylose than does Wheat and that small difference (and/or the lack of gluten) can affect your insulin levels severely. So if you've ever heard that diabetics should consume high starch foods, they mean amylose. Yet you've probably heard that starch is nothing but sugar, they mean amylopectin (in 80% of plants foods). See, once again it's VERY important to differentiate between good & "bad" carbohydrates AND good & bad starch.
I would assume that the Glycemic Index or Load takes into account how much fiber & amylose foods have, but it still seems a bit wrong in light of the studies.
The glycemic index of almost all [wheat] pasta is low, while the GI of almost all rice is high. It is very difficult to identify a lower-G rice by looking at the label. The higher the amylose content, the lower the glycemic index. Amylose content is not revealed on labels. Also, cooking methods affect the glycemic response of the rice. Rice cooked too long will have an elevated glycemic response. Contrary to popular belief, brown rice does not have a lower GI than white rice.
FOR RELEASE: March 25 1996
ITHACA, N.Y. -- A diet based on wheat foods such as pasta, bread and cereal may be contributing to this nation's soaring rates of diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and coronary heart disease, according to a new Cornell University study.
On the other hand, rice-based diets, and to a lesser extent fish and green vegetables, appear to lower the level of blood values associated with the risk of these diseases. These findings, published in the January 1996 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, come from the Cornell-China-Oxford Project on Nutrition, Health and Environment, a massive survey across the far reaches of China that investigates more diseases and dietary characteristics than any other study to date...........
In the past couple of decades, many studies have pointed to insulin as being a common factor linking such diverse disorders as high blood pressure, diabetes and coronary heart disease. Recent research also has discovered that sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), a relatively unknown blood protein, is a reasonably good indicator of insulin resistance. Low levels of SHBG are consistently linked to high levels of insulin in the body. Sustained high levels of insulin are, in turn, associated with the development of the chronic diseases mentioned above.
The Cornell researchers, therefore, looked at SHBG, triglycerides, cholesterol, insulin, testosterone, glucose and 21 different food groups. Factors commonly associated with insulin resistance, such as meat consumption, smoking, and weight were controlled for in the analysis.
"Though other foods such as fish and green vegetables were associated with changes in blood parameters studied, the strong effects of rice and wheat on SHBG were remarkable and unexpected," Gates said. "Women in the northern, wheat- eating counties consistently had low HDL levels, high triglycerides, and low SHBG, all suggestive of insulin resistance. Evidently, rice and wheat can have significantly different effects on the important biochemical parameters we measured." Interestingly, both the rice and wheat consumed in these Chinese regions are semi-refined. Gates stressed, however, that while rice and wheat appear to make the biggest impact on SHBG and insulin, certain other foods in the Chinese meal also have an important effect on SHBG and insulin changes in the blood, and thus ultimately, on those diseases associated with insulin resistance.......ÃÂ ÃÂ http://www.news.corn....wheat.ssl.html
Now, why would a diet study look for Testosterone Levels if it wasn't relevant? I've repeatedly said and provided supporting studies, but for those that don't "get it", if you have high Testosterone levels you could probably have LOW SHBG (which is responsible for lower Free Testosterone levels), which can be affected by your Insulin Production. If testosterone was NOT affected, then why do all teenagers going through Puberty enter into "a state of temporary insulin resistance" so that they can become Hyperinsulinemic in order to produce more Androgens/Testosterones for growth????? So for the scientifically challenged or stubborn, this a way that Diet & Acne are related!
Good to know we can agree some of the time ;-)

Well if it isn't naturally white then it's devoid of nutrients & fiber, but otherwise it's fine. It shouldn't affect your skin whatsoever, plus it apparently is lower GI than brown rice (if you care). Yet, when you say all the time, what does that mean? How many servings/cups? Also do you only eat white rice or do you have other varieties available?
Posted 11 October 2004 - 02:17 PM
Posted 12 October 2004 - 09:28 AM
Erm i suppose the rice over here is 'naturally white'...I take it by saying not naturally white you mean it's just brown rice with the husks or something removed? But how can any rice be white by itself?
When I say all the time, I mean something like 2-3 servings of rice a day...at almost every meal(excluding breakfast of course). That's why it's a staple...otherwise it's mostly noodles, the yellow starchy kind which probably has a high GI index. We do have western food, and I have western food not infrequently, but there's the saturated fats to think of...

Just an experiment, I would keep the rice, but drop the noodles. I know that some noodles are made with rice (keep those) but others are made with wheat & rice or just wheat. Those cause some of us problems, so those are the ones you should drop. Is that possible?

Morning everyone,
I'm not sure whether you are very interested but I am currently in the process of setting my self up for Nikon full-frame. My first purchase was a Nikon's 16-35 f4 lens which arrived last Thursday
I had seen good reviews on here and when I got it had fired off some shots with it mounted on my D7000 and I was gob-smacked with it, its amazing!! I always meant to invest in good glass and got as far as the Sigma 10-20 but this new lens makes my old Sigma look like a toy, the sharpness blew me away!
Another thing that I noticed (which I am sure others discovered a while ago) was how good the image stabilisation is on it, I went to take a shot and didn't realise how low the light was and the shutter speed was far slower than I expected, but when I looked at the image afterwards (expecting a blurry mess) it was sharp as a tac!
Well after my experience I can now fully appreciate it when people say 'buy the best glass you can' they really are right, 100%!!! It really does make that much difference.
This is probably old news to most of you, but to any people starting out or wondering if it makes that much difference, I can confirm it really does, I will vow that from now on I will think more carefully about what glass I am putting in front of my sensor, lesson well and truly learnt!
If anyone else wants to add their experiences and opinions, I would love to hear them.
This is also apparent on the 50mm f1.8D lens that I have and is much better than my kit lens at the same focal magnification.
Your lens may be even better than you think. You would have lost a lot of the wide focal view with the lens on your D7000 due to the crop factor.
Ah brilliant, that good I bought one of those the other week too for my FX camera to replace my 35mm DX lens I must say what I have shot with the 50mm I have been impressed with too.
I forgot about that, just got to wait until after to xmas to get my full frame, I think I'm gonna have some fun lol.
I agree Matt, it's a super lens, it handles flare so well too. Only slight downside is slight barrel distortion at 16mm, but that's easily corrected in Lightroom, I read such rubbish on other sites I nearly didn't buy it - glad I did now.
Yea the VR (and the same can be said for the 24-120) is amazing. With the 24-120 I've had sharp images at 120mm down to 1/4 sec - I dare say with the 16-35 it will be better at the wider focal lengths. Just remember to turn VR off when on the tripod ( although I've forgotten and not seen any problems).
I agree that it is a great lens.
I bought one rather than the 14-24mm when I moved to FX, mainly because of the lack of a filter thread on the 14-24mm (which, admittedly gets far better reviews than the 16-35mm lens, to the extent that some really serious Canon shooters use it with an adapter.)
I also have a 20mm f/2.8D Nikkor which is possibly a wee bit sharper and has less distortion but, obviously, lacks the flexibility of a zoom.
If you are a Lightroom 4 user, your will find that many of the faults of the 16-35mm lens are easily corrected using the standard lens profile and, to be honest, unless you are shooting architecture, any residual distortion is probably academic. The one thing I have never understood is why Nikon decided to burden the lens with VR. I keep it permanently switched off and can't imagine when it would be of any benefit.
Hi Leftforum (sorry I don't know your name), I am indeed a LR4 user so that's good news I guess I won't notice the distortion too much until I get it on the FX camera possibly?
I had a look at the 20mm f/2.8, would you say it was worth it? I was considering gettin one to complement my setup once I'd got settled with the new body.
The thingy that attracted me to the 16-35 was indeed the filter thread too (plus I could afford the 14-24 lol)
Well thanks for taking the time to stop by, it's good to hear I made a good choice
I had a look at the 20mm f/2.8, would you say it was worth it? I was considering gettin one to complement my setup once I'd got settled with the new body.
The reason that I bought the 20mm lens, Matt, was that when I travel abroad I try to keep weight down by not carting a load of heavy lenses about in airline carry-on baggage. The 16-35mm is quite a bulky and heavy lens whereas the 20mm is small and light. My main travel lens is the 28-300mm Nikkor and the 20mm gives a useful option when I want to go wider.
But I would say that you have made a good decision at this stage.
I see, good idea, that never even crossed my mind. How do you get on with the 28-300? I was looking at one of those for a walkabout lens and for a spot of casual motorsport snaps? I've read alsorts about it from review sites and they can't seem to make their mind up, what's it like in real life?
Thanks for your help
I've just gone full frame with a D800 - I already had the 24-70 2.8 and bought the 16-35 2 months ago. The lens/camera combination is fantastic - sharp with good contrast although I have found that I had to re-visit my camera technique to get the absolute best out of it. I agree don't see the need for VR as I always use on a tripod but someone must need it I suppose!
I'm not sure the difference with the lens is always apparent on screen - its the prints that are the real improvement.
The D800 also works very well with the comparatively cheap 70-300 AFV RV G IF ED. not wide angle, of course, but a good option nonetheless... In fact ti works well with a few cheaper lenses 50 and 85 AFD to name but two....
No time to read the whole stream so if these are metioned above apologies for duplication
Monster camera.....

The only slight downside of the 28-300mm is a bit of zoom creep if you carry it about unlocked with the lens pointing down. Some folk think that is a big issue - frankly I don't find sliding the lock switch to be any sort of problem at all. Image-wise, it is superb on every count. Very little distortion at the extremes of the range and, what there is, is dealt with well by LR4. Certainly can't fault the sharpness. If you closely examine images at 200% you might find a wee bit of chromatic aberration along some high-contrast edges but, again, LR4 deals with that in a trice (and you're not going to print anything at 200% anyway!).
My "standard" suite of lenses for the D800 is the 16-35mm f/4, the 24-70mm f/2.8 and the 70-200mm f/2.8 (all the latest editions) and while each of those, at their respective maximum apertures (and maybe one stop slower) do give a slightly better IQ than the 28-300mm when examined very closely at huge magnification, at any other aperture and for all meaningful purposes in prints up to A3+ from a 50% crop of the full frame, it is totally impossible to discern any deterioration of IQ.
One of the sad, but totally understandable, things about equipment reviews in magazines and on the web is that the reviewers tend to be saddos who imagine that they have got to come up with some critical comment to justify their pathetic existences. My philosophy is that if I can't discern a problem then, for my personal purposes, the problem does not exist.
I prefer full frame but then I was brought up on 35mm film - the camera is fantastic although mine went in for a repair - the 10 pin connector pushed back into the camera - others have reported the same fault but it was repaired under warranty in under 2 weeks.
Don't know what others think but for me its more demanding - I now usually shoot at F11 rather than F16 so critical focus is more important but maybe I should have been doing this already.
I think the 24-70mm is slightly sharper but then I use the 16-35mm most of the time now.
I print most of my images and the prints are fantastic.

text: If you make the mistake of saying to the hotel "I want 100 delegates, room, food and conference facilities" and only 80 show up, then you still have to pay for the rooms.Not necessarily true. When I used to help organize medium-sized gatherings like this (80-125 people), most hotels would include in their cost proposal how much leeway you had (I forget what the technical term was), but I think it was usually around 20% with final numbers due two or three weeks before the event. That is, if we're expecting 100 people, we'd reserve for 100, but if two weeks prior to the event, only 85 had registered, we'd send the list of 85 (and only get billed for 85), and the hotel would "release" the other 15 rooms for general consumption. At that point it was first come, first served -- if we had a late enrollee and the hotel still had a room, then great, its ours; otherwise we had to find room at a nearby hotel for the numbnuts who couldn't decide by the deadline. This is obviously something that should be clearly communicated to potential attendees (e.g., registration deadline, space available, blah blah).

As part of a Falcon 50 major cabin refurbishment, Jet Aviation recently completed the first installation of a new linear shell kit designed to transform a Falcon 50 interior into the near-equivalent of a Falcon 50EX cabin.
Dassault Falcon 20
As part of a Falcon 50 major cabin refurbishment, Jet Aviation recently completed the first installation of a new linear shell kit designed to transform a Falcon 50 interior into the near-equivalent of a Falcon 50EX cabin.
All three people were killed August 4 aboard a German-registered cargo-configured Falcon 20 when it hit a 700-ft mountain about 4.5 mi from Greenland's Narsarsuaq Airport while on approach. Information on the weather at the time of the accident wasn't immediately available. The 1966 business jet was registered to Ortwin Naske of Naske Air Service in Braunschweig, Germany, according to AvData in Wichita.
To improve support for a worldwide fleet of some 1,600 Falcons, last month Dassault Falcon Jet announced at the NBAA show that it has restructured its service network to create Dassault Aircraft Services and provide owners and operators with "the kind of support they expect of an airplane of this quality."
Deliveries by Cessna and Dassault were down sharply in the first quarter compared with the same period last year. Cessna shipped 50 business jets in the first quarter versus 60 for the same period a year ago. Consequently, Cessna's revenue decreased $89 million, profit fell by $20 million and the backlog shrank to $4.4 billion at the end of the quarter.
Thunder Avionics in St. Louis has teamed with Flight Test Associates to develop an RVSM package for Falcon 10s and 20s. For the Falcon 10, the original autopilot will be used in addition to IS&S replacement air-data controllers and altimeters. Estimated downtime for equipment installation and skin testing is eight to 10 weeks. Price will vary from $115,000 to $200,000.
Thunder Aviation of Chesterfield, Mo. has received a group STC for an RVSM retrofit for Falcon 20s equipped with the Collins AP-105 autopilot. Follow-on STC amendments covering similarly equipped Falcon 10s are forthcoming, as well as amendments for Falcon 10s and 20s equipped with the SPZ 500 autopilot.
A year after construction began, the new assembly facility for the long-range Dassault Falcon 7X is finished and has already started operations. Attendees at the inauguration on September 15 in Bordeaux, France, could see some 10 Falcon 2000 and 2000EX twinjets in the last stages of final assembly.
The front section of Dassault's first Falcon 900DX completed assembly at the group's Paris-area Argenteuil factory in the middle of last month and is due to be delivered to the Biarritz fuselage assembly line before the end of this month.
Dassault Aviation posted strong financial numbers for the first six months of this year. First-half consolidated sales for the French aircraft manufacturer jumped to $2.44 billion from $1.92 billion in the same period last year. Revenues from the Falcon division now account for 57 percent of the company's income, on par with last year.

|The fact that all the drugs and therapies fail to heal deep mental emotional conditions is because with this particular type of diseases you don't deal with physical level but with highly energetic, vibrational entities: Mind and emotions. If you still believe that your mind is the brain and your emotions reside in the heart, then please continue to take chemical drugs or herbs. It's your choice.

Thank you for your responses. I ordered Truehope and we are going to try it. Yes he is mostly in the depressed end of the spectrum with occasional "wild" periods but no grandiosity. He definitely doesn't reach full mania. Even when he is feeling up he is suffering- he has pulled out all of his eyelashes, now pulls his hair out and digs/scratches into his arms. He says he can't help it, that pulling hair/ scratching helps alleviate the "icky" feelings (anxiety, irritability, anger, etc). We are going to pursue homeopathics and nurtritional supplements but are going to start him on allopathic meds also. Hopefully the "alternative" remedies can minimize the amount of meds he needs.

About Go Ape
Upcoming Projects:
Stay tuned for 2014…
Swing over to our Flickr for pictures from past environmental projects.
Park and Environmental Initiatives
A portion of every Go Ape ticket goes back to the park department we partner with. In turn, this money is used to support the parks and communities we serve.
We thank our guests (affectionately known as our "tribe") for support of their local parks. Go Ape is proud to be in the trees of some of our nation's most spectacular parks and we are honored to have partnerships with:
- * Allegheny County Parks Department – North Park
- * Delaware Dept of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) – Lums Pond State Park
- * Indy Parks & Recreation – Eagle Creek Park
- * James City County Parks & Recreation – Freedom Park
- * St. Louis County Parks & Recreation – Creve Coeur Park
- * The Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) – Rock Creek Regional Park
Park Stewardship:
Our sites are located in beautiful environments and we take our responsibility to care for these areas very seriously. Go Ape chooses to participate and organize park clean-ups and maintenance activities at each of our sites, including non-native invasive removal and re-plantings.
Course Design:
Our courses are designed to minimize any impact on the trees. We use clever braces that grip trunks and our platforms rest on these. The system allows the brace to expand as the tree grows. Our trees are also inspected annually by independent arborists to ensure their continued health. We take pride in our little area of the forest and demonstrate that through the maintenance of the course area and natural surroundings.
Environmental Education:
If you've been to Go Ape, you may have noticed our educational boards. These boards are created and designed in partnership with the parks, friends groups, and other organizations to help educate and raise awareness about various environmental issues. Our hope is that we not only increase your appreciation for the outdoors, but encourage activism to support the parks and environmental issues.

MARTIN COUNTY -- The National Weather Service needs residents to be their eyes and ears at the local level when a natural disaster strikes.
To help teach residents what they need to know about reporting hazardous weather, the National Weather Service will conduct a free severe weather spotter class on May 4.
Hosted by the Martin County Amateur Radio Emergency Service and Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service groups, the event will take place starting at 9:45 a.m. until 12 p.m. at the Family Worship Center, 15285 S.W. Indianmound Drive in Indiantown.
The class will be taught by an NWS meteorologist. While open to all area residents, residents of Indiantown and western Martin County are encouraged to attend. Maps to the class location can be found at: http://goo.gl/maps/hrAUp or http://mapq.st/XMTSqq
At the conclusion of the training session, participants will be able to recognize local precursors to severe weather and will be provided NWS SKYWARN Spotter ID cards and a special NWS phone number to report certain observed severe weather parameters and/or storm damage to the office in Melbourne.
Participant phone numbers will be placed into the NWS database, and they will occasionally receive phone calls inquiring about severe weather heading to their locations, as detected by weather radar.
Skywarn is a volunteer program that enables NOAA's National Weather Service, part of the U.S. Commerce, to obtain critical weather information. These volunteers help keep their local communities safe by providing timely and accurate reports of severe weather to the National Weather Service.
The main responsibility of a spotter is to identify and describe severe local storms. In the average year, 10,000 severe thunderstorms, 5,000 floods and more than 1,000 tornadoes occur across the United States. Since the program started in the 1970s, the information provided by spotters coupled with Doppler radar technology, improved satellite and other data, has enabled NWS to issue more timely and accurate warnings for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and flash floods.
Learn more about the Martin County Skywarn organization or by visiting the website at: http://www.mcaraweb.com/skywarn.html
In Martin County, the Martin Country Amateur Radio Association and Martin Country Amateur Radio Emergency Services and Radio Civil Emergency Service and non-ham volunteers participate to promote severe weather reporting activities.
Martin County Amateur Radio Association can be contacted at P.O. Box 1901, Stuart, FL, 34995-1901, and email queries can be sent to www.mcaraweb.com. The Martin County Florida ARES/RACES, Inc. can be contacted at P.O. Box 2769, Stuart, FL, 34995, or online at

Wow, I don't know if it's all of that fresh air, being out of Jersey, or what, but this camping trip has been one giant healing session for The Real Housewives of New Jersey. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but then just when it's about to, someone catches it midair and graciously gives it back to its rightful owner. It's weird ... and a little boring.
Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice are so chummy it's bordering on sickening. I'm glad for their families, but we really don't need to see Melissa grabbing Tre's body parts and savoring how squishy her ass is. Meanwhile the Joes were bonding over showing off their "sausages" and while peeing, and it was just one big love fest. Boy was that therapist ever wrong when he warned them that they shouldn't share an RV.
I have no delusions that it's going to be like this forever -- there's simply too much crazy there to keep things copacetic for too long. But it's nice/bizarre to see them get along for now.
Then there were Teresa and Jacqueline Laurita. They'd been cordially skating around one another the entire trip, not really addressing their big blow-up. Then Teresa asked her to come help her with dessert, which was, of course, just a guise to talk about what was happening.
More from The Stir: Caroline Manzo Is the Last 'Real Housewife' Who Should Get a Talk Show
It was a baffling conversation as it always is when these two talk, with Teresa spinning a web of confusion around poor Jacqueline who just can't quite keep up with the madness. Teresa, of course, thinks she's the one who has been wronged, and opened things up saying, "I just want to know where do we go from here. I'm still hurt by what you did. I'm not going to lie."
When Jacqueline said she was hurt too, Teresa shot back, "But I didn't do nothing to you." Of course not; she never does nothing to nobody.
When she finally yelled that they should just go their separate ways, Jacqueline broke down. Teresa then softened and started crying too (or at least said she was crying with nary a tear in sight) and suddenly they were a big mushy pile of friendship again. See, camping is relationship magic for this group.
But Caroline Manzo, for one, isn't buying it, and she made another of her ominous yet totally obvious predictions: "As sure as I know my name is Caroline Manzo, Jacqueline is going to get hurt. I wish I could say something but I won't because she's going to have to realize it for herself. I can't help her."
No one can. Now the race is on to see who Teresa will screw over first -- Melissa or Jacqueline. Hmmm?
Up next week, the call that seems to indicate Joe Giudice is cheating and that he's an even bigger jerk than we thought. Can't wait. "Kumbaya" may come to a screeching halt.
Do you think Caroline's prediction will come true and Teresa will hurt Jacqueline again?
Image via Bravo
Uh, Yeah. Jacquelline is a sweet girl who followa the equiette rules of friendship...where as Teresa is like she will chew you up, spit you out, and then accuse you that it's not her fault, you were the one that fed you "bad food"
However it is good drama, even though I wish she treat as least one person nicely. It would help her image, showing that it isn't her fault that you hate her, it's you, becuase see I have friends. Really, It's all on you. That's Teresa in a nutshell. (emphasis of nut). Ha Ha.
Of course Carolines prediction is right. I cant wait to watch next weeks episode though.
It's inevitable that Teresa is going to bulldoze everyone/thing in her path. Caroline, Jacqueline, Kathy, her borther, her kids and her much deserving husband are all going to feel the wrath of Hurricane Teresa. I don't know why she thinks so highly of herself, she is dillusional about her appeal to others, her ability to be a friend, her obligation to be a mother (those kids are totally out of control!) and her wacked out version of reality. She sucks the life out of everyone in her midst without remorse!
I think the show wouldn't make it without her hysterics, but that whole group would be better off without her in their lives!

Carrabelle, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/31/2012 -- The "Universal Life Church World Headquarters, Inc.," a non-denominational faith based ministry headquartered out of Carrabelle, Florida announced Monday its' support of the restaurant chain, "Chick-fil-A," and the chains recent public stance on traditional marriage and family values. "Chick-fil-A" President and Chief Operating Officer Dan Cathy, recently told "Baptist Press" that "Chick-fil-A": is, "very much supportive of the family -- the biblical definition of the family unit."
Cathy's perceived anti-gay marriage statements renewed the nation's debate on this hot-button topic.
The "Universal Life Church World Headquarters, Inc." Vice President, Rev. Daniel B Chapin, commented on the Church support of the restaurant chains' statement asserting, "The Church supports and promotes traditional marriage between a man and a woman and the overall relationship of love and morality as defined by the Scriptures. We, however, do NOT pass judgement nor support agendas in support of or in defiance against an individuals sexual preference or on the same sex marriage issue. We assert that this is NOT the role of the church. Our primary agenda is to bring all people into the love of Christ and into our fellowship."
Addressing the Churchs' public backing of the restaurant chains' recent statement, Chapin stated, "While we tend to agree with "Chick-fil-A," as a whole supporting traditional faith based family values in this country, what we are supporting specifically is the companys' free speech right to take a stance on an issue and operate its' business as it desires."
The Universal Life Church World Headquarters, Inc., ordains Men and/or Women throughout the world as REAL faith based, Christian Ministers. Clergy members ordained through the Universal Life Church World Headquarters, Inc., serve in all facets of the ministry and they are the only Universal Life Church where ordinations are recognized and accepted in the United States of America and throughout the world and is the only Universal Life Church that adheres To A Traditional Doctrine of Faith, With Canonical Texts, Central Authority & Hierarchy. Additionally the church meets all 14 Of the guidelines of Churches As defined By the Internal Revenue Service Standards.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Pay no attention to the down-rated haters Anne, great KYL as always! Although I didn't know that Onyxia promised them payment and then didn't inform the nobles about her promise, I just thought the nobles were corrupt and didn't wanna pay workers that did work they thought the workers didn't deserve pay for. I was reading up on the Vanessa fight, I feel like re-activating my account and going back for a bit now. Good job!
For the Horde!
Look, let's say the nobles really were deceived by Onyxia. So all that means is that they were willing to go along with the idea that poor people shouldn't be paid for rebuilding their mansions. Does that make them any less evil? Onyxia just told them what they wanted to hear, and even after she has been exposed, they still let those people suffer.

Good Questions: Exterior Paint Color for Stucco?
I would love to get some advice from Apartment Therapy readers about what color to paint my 1907 stucco house. Unfortunately, the trim was capped with black siding by the previous owners and is in too good condition to replace right now. So I am looking for a color to coordinate with black trim and white fascia. On the front facade, we have natural cedar shingles on the second floor and the front storm door is oil rubbed mahogany. The porch is currently grey, but also needs to be painted. The roof is in shades of brown. The other three sides of the house are just big expanses of stucco interrupted only by the black-trimmed windows. The street consists mostly of 1880s Victorians; we are wedged between two of them. Many thanks! Ann
Who has ideas?
25 Comments
Call me crazy...
...I like it the way it is.
Only thing I would change is the porch decking - If that's grey-painted concrete, I'd consiter tiling over w/ slate.
I'm with bepsf, exactly.
I think you have two options:
Either keep the wood shingles in that finish and paint the stucco a softer more brownish or mustardy or custardy color to compliment them...
Or you paint the shingled part of the house and the and the stuccoed parts the same color - which could be anything that will work with the siding...
And can you maybe paint the siding?
I'm confused - what are we talking about painting here?
Dark gray could work. I wouldn't paint the shingles though -- the weathered look is part of their charm.
paint the cedar shingles white, or leave them as they are, and leave the house white. to go with the stucco, tile over the porch with big red mexican tiles.
Your shingles give the home great character! The black trim looks great and light pea green shade would be a beautiful contrast with the shingles on the stucco. The front step could be painted black and sealed to be so pretty with a fun outdoor rug. Good luck, please post when finished.
It's not bad as is but I think it would look more grounded if it were a slightly darker color--maybe an earthy green shade like sage. Personally I think I'd paint the stucco first and see how it looks. I think you may be able to get away with not painting the shakes on the top. It would probably pull it all together if you did paint them though.
Can you paint your window sashes? Painting those something less stark than the white would look nice. If they are vinyl, vinyl-safe paints exist that won't damage the windows.
I like it as it is. It's beautiful.
For the sake of all that's good and holy, don't paint the shingles!!!!!!!!
Ok, now that I have that out of my system, I actually like the colors as is. If you want to change, I could see the porch painted black or very dark green with the current scheme. If you want to chance the stucco, I think a light blue-grey might be nice, but your next-door neighbor might have cornered that market. I also think the sage suggestion is good--but I'd stay away from any sage color that was too brown or yellow, and I definitely wouldn't do the house in tan/brown/mustard--I think you would get an all-over drab look, kind of blah and putrid.
Cute house!
oh, typos--by "shingles" I mean shake, and by "chance" I mean change. :)
Please do not paint the shingles.
The best thing you can do to unify the exterior, is to repaint the stucco with a warmer tone from white. Think canvas or a very light tan, cream, something with a little warmth that will look great with the wood of the shingles and the front door, the brown tones of the roof, and soften the contrast with the black trim.
For the porch, take whatever shade you use for the exterior and darken it to a richer shade of tan/brown. Stay in the same family and keep it fairly light, you want the porch to seem brighter than darker.
For stucco, buy the best paint you can afford, and by best I mean best coverage, Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior is a really great product, so are some of the other low VOC exterior paints.
Hope that helps.
Farrow & Ball's "Light Grey"
I like it the way it is. For the porch, you could consider a stone like slate or flagstone (something gray) instead of just paint.
You... you own this amazing house? I hate you. In a good way.
What climate are you in? I know that here in the upper Midwest, painting stucco is a bad idea - it is a porous masonry material that needs to breathe, plus with the winters the paint just will just chip off and look bad in a few years. Maybe ask a masonry guy before doing this?
I agree with some previous posters, the color is really very nice as is. Some bright (red? orange?) porch furniture would be a nice accent, though.
I will have to strongly agree with hyzen and the other posters who beg you don't paint the shingles.
I would strongly suggest doing a bit of research to find out the accurate period colors of the home would be, even what it's original color was. If you're surrounded by 1880s Victorians, you don't want to look like the ignorant homeowner in a row of historic homes.
While, I can see where you feel your house is a bit drab, especially compared to the vibrant home next door, like KkatMpls said, pick some bright furniture (deep reds/red-orange, golden yellow).
Here's an article I found, although, it doesn't give exact color choices, it does give you some good advice: "so long as you follow the Craftsman themes of simplicity and harmony with nature you'll capture the spirit of the movement and have a beautiful home as well"
The front door....you just need a better one. Paint it yellow, orange, or red. It looks like you have a wooden screen door? Paint it a different color than the door.
Add some furniture to bring out that color.
Beautiful..... Paint it black with burgundy trim. Trust me! What area in New York has those style houses?
My ongoing big project is stuccoing the block walls of my basement, planning to put a final coat of white stucco tinted with pigment to blend with the color of painted Hardie plank above it. I read that stucco needs to breath and putting paint on just seems wrong. If that is true for the upper midwest, it would be the same elsewhere. ??
It is a lovely home, and looks to be a less elaborate single-style craftsman.
I want to cry though -- whoever slapped the stucco on the house was seriously misguided and has "remuddled" the house. Stucco doesn't belong on that style of house, which is the root of your predicament: you are trying to deal with a huge expanse of not only inappropriate colour, but also inappropriate material/texture.
I would go to the local archives, and try to find pictures of your street to see what it used to look like original before the unfortunate renovations. I suspect it either had wood siding or shingles on the bottom. Would be good to see what was on those columns too (some craftsman houses had the bottom of the porch columns made of river rock, as well as the chimneys).
Also, check out books on craftsman houses to get a better sense of the colour and use of materials.
Needless to say, the "trim" and fascia are travesties against the style of the house, and I would rip them off without hesitation.
You have a real gem of a home, and it deserves to be rescued. It won't take that much to undo all the unfortunate remuddlings and restore it to its original splendour. Once you've done that, it won't seem intimidated by its more imposing neighbours.
Good resources for you to check out are:
As well as the offerings of the National Park Service:
Good luck!
As far as I can tell shes not talking about painting the shingles - shes talking about painting the stucco - all the white walls
I have no suggestions but I have to say I love next doors blue and red combination!
Two bits of hearsay...
1. A contractor I met recently explained that if stucco has never been painted before (and only if) you're probably better off not painting. Lots of people in the 1900-1920s stucco-d houses instead of using siding in order to have a finish that would basically never need paint (until they got tired of the look of stucco and painted it... and had to keep painting it every year).
2. A designer I know (who is getting on in her years) told me yesterday people used to use pool paint on stucco.
Thanks for your suggestions, everyone! You gave me a lot to think about. I will try to post an update when the project is complete. I don't intend to paint the cedar shingles but to clean and seal them to protect the natural color. Some of you might be interested to know that the area where you see the three adjoining windows on the second floor used to be an open porch, which the previous owners enclosed. I do plan to rip off all the aluminum capping over the window trim eventually but can't afford to be surprised by what's underneath just now (which I know is kelly green trim, probably in bad repair). By the way, I live in a western suburb of Philadelphia.

Tall tales were as plentiful as targets Saturday morning at Squirrel Fest, the annual gathering and encampment of small game hunters on the Chuck Swan Wildlife Management Area.
Started 20 years ago by a group of hunters from Campbell County, the event has traditionally been held on opening day of squirrel season in late August.
The last few years, Squirrel Fest has also coincided with Free Hunting Day, which was enacted by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission as a way to introduce young people to hunting.
Campbell County's game this week against Anderson County will be the first meeting of the two teams since Sept. 2, 1994, when the Mavericks opened the season with a 39-0 victory on their home field.
Both teams made the playoffs last season in their respective divisions. Both teams also had to replace several starters, including their quarterbacks. However, this is where their similarities end.
Football rivalries are normally born on the field, not off of it.
However, the feud between two local high schools has been anything but normal.
A rivalry 15 years in the making, Campbell County vs. Anderson County has grown to epic proportions, even though the teams haven't actually faced off on the gridiron since 1995.
For the better part of the past two decades, both teams have done their best to avoid each other because of a bitter feud over alleged recruiting of players by the Mavericks.
After a poor start to the football season a week earlier, the Campbell County Cougars came out on a mission Friday night at White County.
"We were very disappointed in how we played last week and everyone knows that," CCHS coach Dewayne Wells said of his young team.
"Our kids had a different mindset at practice and we just wanted to come out and show we were better than what we were last Friday (against Loudon). I think we showed that we were determined."
Did they ever.

SEVEN MILE, Wash. -- A family in the Seven Mile area is cleaning up after much of their garage and basement damaged by flooding.
Late Wednesday afternoon Terry and Audrey Adams' home flooded. Runoff from the nearby Coulee Creek made its way into the house for the first time in decades.
The garage filled with water in less than 45 minutes. It was as high as four feet.
"Everything was floating, all the furniture, stereo gear, we have a stove down there, and it was clear up to the windows. I was pretty tough," said Terry Adams.
The Adams' pumped out the water overnight and Thursday morning family and friends came over to clean out the garage.
"These chunks of ice blocked the creek and flooded the home yesterday. Today they've spent much of the day cleaning up the garage and taking out some of these same chunks of ice," said Doug Oylear.
The crew shoveled out mud, water and huge pieces of ice. Then Terry and the other took turns hauling it out.
Much of the garage was cleaned out Thursday but you could still see the water line.
The family recently added new cabinets and rebuilt their bathroom now they are completely ruined. Much of the house will need to be stripped down to its basic structure before they can repair the damage.

The "Dancing with the Stars" mini baby boom continued Jan. 18 as popular pro Anna Trebunskaya and boyfriend Nevin Millan welcomed their first child, according to a Jan. 20 report by Us Weekly.
Per a statement from Trebunskaya's rep, little Amalya was born via home birth and the pleased parents "couldn't be happier" with their new addition. The previously unnamed Millan, who Trebunskaya declined to identify when she revealed her pregnancy to Us in September, is an actor, musician and producer who has appeared on TV shows including "True Blood," "Charmed" and "Nip/Tuck."
Trebunskaya, who was married to fellow professional dancer Jonathan Roberts for nine years before the two called it quits in 2012, last appeared as a "DWTS" pro alongside boy-bander Drew Lachey during the show's 2012 all star season.
Trebunskaya's baby news came just a week and change after former "DWTS" pros Alec Mazo and Edyta Sliwinska revealed via Twitter that they'd welcomed their first child on Jan. 4. A Jan. 9 tweet by Sliwinska gushed "We are in love and as happy as can be!!!" and shared a photo of the newly minted mom cradling baby Michael Alexander.
Although Sliwinska, Mazo and Trebunskaya aren't likely to be on the roster, "Dancing with the Stars" 2014 is scheduled to premiere March 17 on ABC with an all-new season of celebrity/professional dance action.

starting a new project. 2.4 or 2.3??
8 April 2010 at 4:52am
I am about to start my first 'big' project with silverstripe.
I require the ecom mod as well as a few others and a minimum of 2 levels of frontend webuser access. (retail and wholesale).
I would very much like to take advantage of the new features in 2.4 but and very concerned that the available modules will not be compatible within the next while.
What do the more experienced developers recommend?
I am thinking its probably best to develop in 2.3 and keep an eye on the status of my required mods, and consider to do the upgrade before launch if it looks feasible?
Or are the SVN of most major mods (including ecom) ready for 2.4?? I don't know since the module section of the site doesn't list many updates.

I'm about to start a big project and have decided to go for 2.4 as 2.3 is already starting to be depreciated by module developers and it will increase the longevity of the site from a maintenance point of view.
However, have you used the ecommerce module before? I dont think it is 2.4 compatible for a start (but they might have added a patch somewhere) AND it the beta (which is what i used for a project) is not complete. Be careful, unless you have done it before.

Transition for the Male-to-Female (MTF) Transsexual
Originally written around 2006 – Rewrite August 11, 2013
The average person probably thinks that a transsexual gets up one morning and says, "Today I'm going to do it". They phone up a doctor and go in for a "sex change". This about on par with NASA getting up one morning and saying lets go to the moon. What you don't see are the years of planning. In reality, the actual "sex change", actually called SRS (Sex Reassignment Surgery), happens only after years of personal struggle and countless other processes and procedures. By the time some transitioning from Male to Female (aka a Transwoman) gets to that point they have been living as a woman for at least one year. The SRS operation, although major surgery, (and technically cosmetic surgery) will mostly seem like just a detail.
Transition is a very personal journey and will be different for everyone. I will describe transition, not as the right or wrong way, but simply as it makes sense to me.
Elements of Transition
Transition can be broken down in to two general sections
- Mental
- Physical
Mental: (Including anything that does not change a person's appearance.)
Long before you see any physical changes in a person, they will have gone through years of emotional struggle. For most of us this is something that has been nagging us for as long as we can remember. Transition usually starts for a person by dealing with the metal side:
- Emotional: I have always know I was TS (a transsexual). Long before the words were there, I knew that I didn't match somehow. There becomes a point at which you understand that you can do something about it. For me it was reading a book that showed there was some hope for me. When discussing this, a good friend said to me, "Just ask your self if doing this will make you happy." This is exactly what it is about. If you could just do it, would you be happier? From the sense of self, appearing and interacting to the world in a way seems congruent to who I am. This is exactly it. There is no question that I would be happier. It is the reaction from the world that changing genders could take that all away. Most people are prepared to lose it all when they transition. For me I have always been aware that I am very lucky and have much to be grateful for. If only I could change that one thing. The emotional transition starts with the courage to move forward.
- Legal: The legal aspects of transition often center around one little letter on your birth certificate or drivers license. The F or M. It seems funny to me that you can ask people about this. But yet it is tied to every aspect of our physical existence. Why don't they have a box for race or religion. (Imagine if your drivers license said "Bob Smith, white, Catholic"!) People that transition usual get very excited about changing their name but especially changing that one letter. In British Columbia, any person can change their name quite easily. Changing the letter on your drivers license requires a letter from your doctor. The letter must include information to support a reason to change your gender. To have your birth certificate changed you need to have first had SRS.
The one aspect that didn't occur to me, what the legal status of our marriage after transition. There are places in the world were same sex marriages and not legal. There is one American state that goes so far as to make wills illegal for same sex couple. Is it possible that, at the hand of some future government, Brenda would not be able to collect a widow's pension? Could I lose custody of my kids if Brenda died? Would I not legally own my house? There are many questions that have to be answered before you transition.
- Spiritual: The spiritual aspect of transition is something we all have to work through. Is taking hormones playing with mother nature? If you are religious, do you view this as a sin? What is the sin, becoming yourself? In the same way that God makes one person blind and another a genius, he also makes transpeople. Like a Gary Larson cartoon with God making people, "Hey, let's put the girl brain in the boy's body!" Does it become a sin to take the challenge life has given you try to rise above it? In the past transpeople have lived with much shame and lived in a world were they must repress who they are. In many ways this may look like the type of oppression suffered by countless minorities in history. Like the Jews or even left handed people.
So many transpeople find themselves in a kind of spiritual awakening, before transition starts. A few years before, I had started to do yoga as a means of improving my health. What I didn't know going in to it was that what we know in the western world about yoga is that it is a means of exercise. However the "Asanas" or postures of yoga is only one of eight limbs of yoga. There is very much more to it and it seems to be quite "wired-in" to Hinduism. The result for me has been a lot of introspection. Many spiritual people will ask questions like, where was I before I was born and where will I go after I am dead. I find myself adding questions like, am I truly female? Does the soul have gender?
- Reality: After all is said and done, will I be a woman? The reality is that I won't. I will not have a period or have the ability to conceive children. But there are many woman that for a variety of medial reasons can't do that either. Are they men? If you do a blood test on a transperson or look at their cells under a microscope what will you find? Does the fact that I grew up as a boy, prevent me from being a real woman? Maybe. The reality is that before and after transition , I will be a transsexual a transwoman. To deny that is to deny who I am and to deny the journey I must endure to get to a place that makes sense for me.
- Counselling: Before anyone launches in to transition it is very important to have some level of counselling. Many people will start into hormones on there own. Without having a doctor on their team. In my view this is a huge mistake. Finding a doctor that understands trans issues can be hard. I was lucky to find one that has made a specialty of it. He has been trained in both trans assessment and endocrinology. Many us know long before we ever go to a doctor what is going on. Nevertheless, It is good to get an acknowledgement from a professional that you are on the right track. In my case, my doctor also works with another doctor that provides a second opinion before hormones start. I also attend a support group of my peers. Some are just starting out. Some transitioned decades ago.
- Restrooms: (I just had to include this somewhere.) Something as simple as peeing can become a problem while you are transitioning. If you are man dressed as a woman, where do you pee? You can't use the men's room and if a woman figures you out in the ladies room, she'll likely call the police. MTF's have to use the ladies room, pee sitting down and don't hang around to chat. I've been washing my hands and had a woman strike up a conversation. I found myself trying to politely finish and leave. My doctor provided me with a letter that I can use if needed.
- Hormones: See below (anti-androgens and hormones) for the physical side. You can see the physical effect, but the emotional side of this is both profound and subtle. After taking hormones for some time I feel that although I am the same person, emotionally I am quite different. These differences are hard to explain but I think they are noticeable. When I first started taking estrogen I found myself crying a lot. The question is: Is it the hormones or the deep emotional release of starting to transition? I'm not really sure.
Physical: (including esthetics and medical proceedures)
- Painted Nails: The thought of a man with painted toe nails has often been the but of jokes. Including M. Frank Burns on TV's H*A*S*H. For many women having their nails done gives them the feeling of being groomed and a bit more feminine. For me keeping my toes polished and fingers well shaped and with clear polish is just one of those things that make me feel good.
- Ear Piercing: These days men with pierced ears is not too unusual. For me it was just another important step in femininization. Mostly I just wear my silver studs.
- Hair: If you know me, you know that having a full head of female hair just ain't gonna happen. I did look at Hasson and Wong but it appears that the cost for me would be about $25K. Also, it appears that the process they use moves hair around and does not create new hair. I have not been for a consultation so this only my estimation. I have purchases wigs on-line, which I do not recommend. Also, I have purchased a number of wigs from Abantu. I found their staff was great and the product was reasonable. I purchased synthetic wigs and no matter what the style or colour was, Brenda still complained of their wiggy appearance. Later I purchased a custom human hair wig from West Coast Wigs. Which is what I wear everyday. Sometime its looks a bit messy and damaged, but nobody has ever thought it was a wig. I'm very happy with it, but it was insanely expensive, so it will have to last a long time!
- Skin Care: In the past I have had fairly bad skin. Over the past few years I've been taking care of my skin more actively. I use a (should be twice) daily three step, cleanser, toner, moisturizer from Mary Kay (Brenda sells it, if you need any.) Also, I use a weekly home Microdermabrasion kit. Whether it is the skin care or the hormones or just that I am so much happier now, my skin is much healthier now than it has ever been.
- Makeup: The challenge for any transwomen is to wear enough makeup to hide the maleness. While trying to keep it subtle, appropriate and not being gaudy. You'll have to tell me if I'm doing ok. Most of my makeup is Mary Kay (ask Brenda for a catalogue)
- Laser Hair Removal: Laser is a quick way to remove hair from your body. For an entire face a procedure takes about 5 mins, but must be repeated several times over a number of months. There is some doubt that it is permanent. Also as light energy is absorbed by dark colours but not by light colours. My beard was dark blonde and white (grey), so the dark was removed by the grey remained. This must be removed by electrolysis.
- Electrolysis: Electrolysis is the one-hair-at-a-time destruction of the hair folical. The process hurts about as much as an insect bite. But during the course of multi-hour procedures having thousands of these of these little bites can make you crazy. Before a procedure you need to let your beard grow out a bit. This is not very desirable for a transwoman. During and after a procedure your skin can bruised and swollen and often gets very scabby from the needle pricks. I've probably had forty hours of electrolysis which is only a fraction of what is needed.
- Anti-Androgens: These are a type of drug that blocks the bodies cells from utilizing testosterone. (Often called T-Blockers) For a transwomen the effect is the loss of male sexual function
- Female Hormones: Taking estrogen has the the physical effect of making your skin softer and making your body more fatty. The hope is for hip and breast development. However transitioning after about the age of thirty greatly reduces the amount of breast tissue that develops. One annoying thing is that the extra weight goes to your belly. I've always been quite boney. Now, when in front of a mirror, I find myself sucking "it" in.
- TCR (Tracheal Shave): The proper name is Thyroid Cartilage Reduction. Men typcially have an protruding "Adam's apple" at the front of their throats. A TCR is the surgical reduction of "the bump"
- Voice Therapy: Having a male voice and trying to train it to sound female can be quite a challenge. I have used two audio programs, (One from Melanie Anne Phillips and one from Andrea James) to help correct some of my male speech habits and to raisi the pitch. I also took a course with voice therapist Shelagh Davies. Shelagh's is a wonderful lady and her course was great. But, I found that habitually, my voice dropped in pitch during conversations. In the end I decided to have voice surgery.
- Voice Surgery: Voice surgery can be used to increase the pitch of your voice. My surgery was performed by Dr. Murry Morrison on the Pacific Voice Clinic The procedure was done at the same time as the TCR (above). The procedure is minimally invasive and probably took fifteen minutes of actual surgery. See voice surgery After it all, I think people that know me think I sound the same. But at the same time I think that it is androgynous enough now to get me past.
- FFS: (not done) FFS is Facial Feminization Surgery. Dr. Douglas Ousterhout is well know for making male faces look female. This procedure is more expensive SRS and augmentation together.
- Breast Augmentation: (not done) This is the same procedure that is done on natal women.
- SRS/GRS: (not done) Sexual Reassignment Surgery or Gender Reassignment Surgery for transwomen is called vaginoplasty This is where they make an "outy" in to an "inny"
- What you can't do: There are lots of things that you just can't change. For me I'd rather be about four inches shorter. It's not going to happen. You can't make your feet or hands smaller. You can't make your vocal chords small again. Basically anything that happened through puberty to make your body larger or stronger are here to stay. HRT does result in less muscle density and the soft skin helps too.
If I've missed anything let me know.

Airiel began as a solo project by Jeremy Wrenn in Bloomington, Indiana, in 1997. For a few years, Airiel was a duo: Wrenn on guitar, Sean Delaney on bass and a drum machine. Wrenn then relocated to Chicago and brought in Cory Osborne (bass) and John Rungger (drums), followed by Chris De Brizzio (guitar).
Through Clairecords (Sacramento), Airiel released a series of four-song EPs titled Winks & Kisses. The EPs were also sold as a limited edition boxed set, capturing the evolution of Airiel in its current form. Their CDs are consistently some of the top sellers of the label, and the Frosted EP has already sold out. The group has also been asked to contribute to several compilation CDs, including Never Lose That Feeling by Club AC30 (U.K.).
In addition to their recordings, Airiel has also gained a reputation for being a live band....

Torvill and Dean, Posh and Becks, Simpson and Bruckheimer. Some names just fit together and it's perhaps significant that the best pictures in this box set - The Rock, Crimson Tide, Con Air - were developed while the portly, prossie-loving producer Don Simpson was still alive. The post-Simpson selection is somewhat mixed: The Conversation-lite Enemy Of The State, cornball asteroid picture Armageddon and half-hearted auto booster Gone In 60 Seconds. Certainly Simpson's legendary story-sense would have seen Pearl Harbor cut down to size, though it typifies the B&S output: striking in both spectacle and idiocy.

Uh oh. There's one person who is definitely NOT happy that Lindsay Lohan is spending so much time in London: supermodel Kate Moss. Kate, 40, reportedly got into a row with the 27-year-old actress because she has been in contact with Moss' husband, Jamie Hince, who is the lead singer of The Kills. Lohan is invading Moss' turf because she's making her theater debut in "Speed-the-Plow," and has decided it would be a good idea to reconnect with Hince, who helped her work on her music career.
Bad move, girl. Kate may seem like an anything-goes party girl, but as we're learning, that does not include letting single gals with crazy sexual histories chat up her husband.
Kate apparently wasn't happy from the very minute Lohan landed in the U.K., which leads us to believe LiLo may have overstepped her bounds with Hince in the past. She knew she'd run into Lohan at some point, since we hear both ladies love a good party, and when she did, she apparently didn't hold back her feelings.
Moss reportedly told Lohan in no uncertain terms that she was NOT to call her husband.
I'm siding with Kate on this one. I can't imagine that the beautiful and stylish fashion icon would be jealous of anyone, but that isn't really the point. It's disrespectful for a woman -- single or married -- to contact a married man unless she has a darn good reason -- like to ask him for his wife's phone number. LiLo clearly isn't on friendly terms with Kate, so it's not like she and the couple are hanging out together. What was so important that she felt the need to contact the model's hubby?
More from The Stir: Can Married Men Have Female Friends?
Bottom line: it's not cool behavior UNLESS Kate approves. And that doesn't seem to be the case in this situation.
Do you think Kate is overreacting? Is it okay to contact a married man if you aren't friendly with his wife?
Image via Lindsay Lohan/Instagram
You're both fucking nit wits.
Unless you're insecure as hell, you wouldn't give a damn if someone contacted your husband. If she did do something fishy, that's one thing, but men are capable of brushing off unwanted advances from women. They don't need your controlling asses dictating who they can or can't talk to. If you're so insecure and distrusting then you need to find another man.
And for the record, yes women have "contacted" my husband for simple chats and even *gasp* to hang out. Who gives a crap.
The one time a girl did try to hit on him, I was told immediately and I didn't care, because she wasn't a threat. She was a mens magazine model and thought she could get anyone she wanted, but he wasn't giving her attention and I knew that's why she tried. If I was an insecure twat with a bad husband, I might care, but that's not the case.
LOL! I can't imagine any man being interested in that walking bag of disease. I don't think Kate has to worry. The call was probably for business. Kate needs to take a step back and let her husband handle this.
