New gold color-tinting process may be used to enhance value
A newly-discovered method for tinting the color of gold could greatly enhance given to the safe haven asset by precious metals buyers.
The new thermochemical process, which was discovered by engineers working for University of Antioquia of Colombia, can be used to change the appearance of gold so that it resembles precious stones such as emeralds, sapphires or rubies, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP). These researchers have stated that the process can boost the value of gold items five-fold, BullionStreet reports.
The new method does not entail covering the surface of the precious metal with some "material that disguises the traditional white, yellow or pink of the precious metal," Maria Eugenia Carmona, the principal researcher on the project, told AFP. "It involves subjecting it to an elaborate thermochemical process of eight to 10 hours, after which not only does its [color] become red, blue or green, among others, but also its market price increases significantly."
The University of Antioquia engineers who discovered the novel thermochemical process told the news source that the color-tinted gold should be made available to precious metals buyers through retailers soon.

VIDEO/PHOTOS: Urban glow putting more sea turtle hatchlings in harm's way
COLLIER COUNTY - Most beachfront hotels and condos know the summer drill.
Lights that shine on the beach must be shielded or turned off so they won't lure baby sea turtles away from the Gulf of Mexico when they emerge from their nests.
That's the law.
It seems, though, that the trouble with bright lights is extending beyond the dune's edge and into the heavens.
It's called urban glow, and it's been blamed, at least in part, for hundreds of hatchlings from six sea turtle nests on Naples and Marco Island beaches going off course on their way to the relative safety of the Gulf this summer.
That's more than half of the 10 disorientations that sea turtle trackers have counted since turtle nesting season started May 1.
"We've been seeing it get brighter over the years," Collier County sea turtle protection program coordinator Maura Kraus said.
So far this year, turtle monitors suspect urban glow in two disorientations on Park Shore Beach, one on Sand Dollar Island off Tigertail Beach on Marco and three others farther south on Marco.
In Lee County, there have been two nest disorientations on Fort Myers Beach and one on Bonita Beach, but none has been attributable to urban glow, said Eve Haverfield, director of Turtle Time, a nonprofit turtle monitoring group.
"Each one is bad enough," she said.
Disoriented sea turtles can get tangled in dune vegetation or fall victim to predators while they try to find their way to the water.
It's all about natural instinct. Hatchlings are biologically programmed to head for bright light to find their way to the Gulf. Under natural conditions, the moon or night sky reflected off the water does the trick. Artificial lights send the hatchlings in the wrong direction.
Collier has had beachfront lighting restrictions since 1994. Except for a blip or two, the number of sea turtle disorientations has generally decreased since then, according to county figures.
In 1996, there were 42 nest disorientations, or about 7 percent of the total nests laid, compared with five disorientations in 2005, or less than 2 percent of the total number of nests, according to county figures.
In the wake of Hurricane Charley in 2004 and Hurricane Wilma in 2005, disorientations started going back up. The storm destroyed dune vegetation that had helped shield the beach from artificial lights, according to a 2007 monitoring report. In addition, Florida Power & Light replaced some turtle-friendly beach access lights with lights that shined on the beach.
Disorientations increased in 2006 to eight, or 2.7 percent of total nests, and went up to 26 disorientations, or a record 10 percent of total nests, in 2007.
A $132,000 grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, a nonprofit created by Congress in 1984, helped pay to replant the vegetation and replace the lights.
Last year, disorientations dropped to six, or about 1 percent of the total nests, according to county figures.
This year's 10 disorientations — on Marco, Naples, Park Shore and Vanderbilt beaches — is the highest since 17 disorientations occurred in 2003.
Beachfront lighting compliance has helped stem the disorientations, but getting a handle on urban glow is, well, as big as the sky.
Kraus said it can be difficult to prove urban glow as a reason for a disorientation, especially if the monitor isn't there to see it happen.
She said a light as small as a flashlight from a fisherman on the beach or a light on in a top-floor balcony window can confuse baby sea turtles.
"It's very hard to say," Kraus said.
In some cases on Marco, turtle monitors circled both condominium lights and urban glow on disorientation reports.
"It's always been a problem," said Mary Nelson, a county sea turtle monitor who has patrolled the beaches of Marco Island since 1995.
Kraus, with Collier County, said urban glow is more of a problem on a moonless night or on a night with low cloud cover that can reflect lights.
Nest location also can play a role. A nest laid toward the middle of the beach rather than closer to the dune is more susceptible to light and to disorientation, Kraus said.
Lit up night skies have not gone unnoticed by Southwest Florida cities and counties.
The city of Sanibel Island and Lee County have ordinances designed to reduce urban glow by requiring lights that shine more light downward or requiring shorter light poles.
The Bonita Springs City Council plans to talk with its lobbyist about pushing the state Legislature to install glow-reducing lights on state roads.
At the city of Naples, planners are working on a light-reducing law, and proposed amendments to Collier County's rural growth plan calls for outdoor lighting rules.
Since 2004, county road projects have used street lights that direct light downward, spokeswoman Connie Deane said.
Road crews are replacing the 1,000 to 1,500 old-style light fixtures still lining county roads as money is available, she said.
The sports fields at the county's North Collier Regional Park have lights designed to cut down on night-time glare, Kraus said.

Great Gloves - Great Shipping - Great Companyby NOVA player
Great Gloves - Great Shipping - Great Companyby NOVA player
Sweet Glovesby Jared S. - verified purchaser From EAST DUBUQUE, IL
Did some research into these gloves. Sportstop is the only retailer, outside of onesie twosie eBay sellers that sell these gloves. They are a few years old and were released alongside the shakedowns for the MLL all star game. I'm guessing Sportstop bought out all remaining stock on these gloves. The pics do them little justice, they really are sweet. If you can fit 12" on your hands, I suggest them. They are more than worth their price. I was tempted to keep them even though they were a bit too small. Ended up exchanging them for the Shakedowns which come in only 13". Both great gloves on a budget.Pros:
Awesome design, price, comfort.Cons:
Nothing aside from bigger sizes.

What the Robin Knows: How Birds Reveal the Secrets of the Natural World
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Advance Praise for What the Robin Knows
"Jon Young is one of the heroes of the new nature movement, an expansion of traditional environmentalism. With What the Robin Knows, he opens a door to a universe that overlaps modern life, a world lost to most, but found by some—because of teachers like Jon. This elegant book will deepen the kinship between humans and other species. It decodes our common language."
—Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle and Last Child in the Woods
"Here is the ancestral wisdom passed down from the Apache elder Stalking Wolf to the renowned tracker Tom Brown to Jon Young himself, who in turn passes on to the reader the art of truly listening to the avian soundscape. With all senses more finely tuned, you'll find yourself more aware of your surroundings, slowing down, and reconnecting with a native intelligence and love of the natural world that lies deep within each of us."
—Donald Kroodsma, author of The Singing Life of Birds and Birdsong by the Seasons
"Jon Young knows birds, and you will, too, after reading his marvelous book. You'll discover a universal bird language that will speak to you wherever you go outdoors. Every nature lover should read this book."
—Joseph Cornell, author of Sharing Nature with Children and John Muir: My Life with Nature
"What the Robin Knows is a fascinating introduction to nature study beyond putting names on what we see; it's not just a guide to paying attention outdoors but full of tips on how to do it. It should help us discover the world of nature around us, often glimpsed but too often overlooked. This is less a book to read than one to use, one that will enrich our hours outdoors."
—Thomas R. Dunlap, author of In the Field, Among the Feathered
"This book turns us inside out, opening our minds onto the wider mind of the land itself. It's a brilliant work, born of a lifetime of listening, teaching, and tracking what really matters. By waking our animal senses, Jon Young's work replenishes our humanity."
—David Abram, author of Becoming Animal and The Spell of the Sensuous
"In this naturalist guidebook, Young, a naturalist and teacher, has two objectives: first, by studying 'deep bird language,' we can find out 'what's really going on in the world of birds'; second, we can figure out how to 'access that world through our awareness of deep bird language so that we can see more wildlife.' His third, less direct goal is sharing his 'conviction that understanding the birds really does help us to understand ourselves.' The premise is simple: find a 'sit spot' (a place where you can unobtrusively be part of the world you are observing) and go there frequently — daily, if possible. Sit quietly and stay long enough to let the birds readjust to their 'baseline' vocalizing. Recognizing the baseline allows you to notice outlying noises and begin to posit theories about them, although, as Young frequently reminds readers, he is working with largely hypothetical concepts. The book comes with a handy collection of audio files to help listeners identify various songs and alarms of common birds. Though primarily geared toward birders and naturalists rather than lay readers, this passionate instruction manual offers enjoyable anecdotes. Agent: Bonnie Solow."

How understanding bird language and behavior can help us to see more wildlife.
A captivating exploration of the homing instinct in animals, and what it means for human happiness and survival, from the celebrated naturalist and author of Mind of the Raven, Why We Run, and Life Everlasting
Theand#160;acclaimed scientist/writerand#39;sand#160;captivating encounters withand#160;individual wild birds, yielding andldquo;marvelous, mind-alteringandrdquo; insights and discoveries
The acclaimed scientistand#39;sand#160;encounters withand#160;individual wild birds, yielding andldquo;marvelous, mind-alteringandrdquo; (Los Angeles Times)and#160;insights and discoveries
In his modern classics One Manandrsquo;s Owl and Mind of the Raven, Bernd Heinrich has written memorably about hisand#160;relationships with wild ravens and a great horned owl.and#160;
In One Wild Bird at a Time, Heinrich returns to his great love: close, day-to-day observations of individual wild birds. There are countless books on bird behavior, but, writes Heinrich, andldquo;some of the most amazing bird behaviors fall below the radar of what most birds do in aggregate.andrdquo; Heinrichandrsquo;s andldquo;passionate observations [that] superbly mix memoir and scienceandrdquo; (New York Times)and#160;lead to fascinating questions andmdash; and sometimes startling discoveries. A great crested flycatcher bringing food to the young acts surreptitiously and is attacked by the mate. Why? A pair of Northern flickers hammering their nest-hole into the side of Heinrichandrsquo;s cabin deliver the opportunity to observe the feeding competition between siblings, and to make a related discovery about nest-cleaning. One of a clutch of redstart warbler babies fledges out of the nest from twenty feet above the ground, and lands on the grass below. It canandrsquo;t fly. What will happen next?and#160;
Heinrich andldquo;looks closely, with his trademark andlsquo;hands-and-knees scienceandrsquo; at its most engaging, [delivering] what can only be called psychological marvels of knowingandrdquo; (Boston Globe).and#160;
Acclaimed scientist and author Bernd Heinrich has returned every year since boyhood to a beloved patch of western Maine woods. What is the biology in humansand#160;of this deep-in-the-bones pull toward a particular place, and how is it related to animal homing?
Heinrich explores the fascinating science chipping away at the mysteries of animal migration:and#160;how geese imprint true visual landscape memory; how scent trails are used by many creatures, from fish to insects to amphibians, to pinpoint their home if they are displaced from it; and how the tiniest of songbirds are equipped for solar and magnetic orienteering over vast distances.and#160;Most movingly, Heinrich chronicles the spring return of a pair of sandhill cranes to their home pond in the Alaska tundra. With his trademark and#8220;marvelous, mind-alteringand#8221; prose (Los Angeles Times), he portrays the unmistakable signs of deep psychological emotion in the newly arrived birdsand#8212;and reminds us that to discount our own emotions toward home is to ignore biology itself.

We are so grateful for the soaking and renewing rains we have received across Oklahoma this past week, especially since the refreshing rains were delivered without storms. This moisture is a great way to start spring and assures us a wonderful start to the season. Moisture is a key ingredient for happy and healthy plants and when combined with warmer temperatures, brighter sunlight and longer days it creates the spring effect where the whole world of nature appears to pop into life, full of green foliage and exciting flowers on many trees and plants. The flowering quince and forsythia have been joined by the ornamental crabapples and the enchanting pinks and reds of our state tree, the Redbud. This is a great time to plant new trees and shrubs in your yard or landscape.
Gardening: Renewing rains key for healthy plants
Your shady areas can benefit from sowing seed of tall fescue or shady lawn grass seed mixes. If you want to control crabgrass or other weeds the easy way, before they germinate, get your weed and feed or pre-emergent herbicide applied at once. Every day you wait to apply your crabgrass "birth control" results in less control as more summer weed seeds start germinating every day. Products with "Dimension" will offer some control for two to three weeks after germination. You can do your first feeding on your lawn either with the weed and feed product or with an application of balanced lawn food or a targeted feeding if you have a recent soil test to use as a road map.
If you are vegetable gardening we have just completed the prime season for cool season vegetable planting and are just entering the season to plant warm season crops. Watch the weather and if you don't see any frosts in the forecast you can start planting plants of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and cucumbers. You can plant seeds of most beans, squash, sweet corn, and pumpkins. Please wait until around May 1 to plant the really hot blooded crops like sweet potato, watermelon, okra, southern peas and cantaloupe. Our last average freeze date in central Oklahoma is around April 10 but we have had the occasional freeze much later in the month so become a real Oklahoma gardener and watch the weather and be prepared to cover your more tender veggies if we are surprised with a late frost after you have started planting.

Osiris.pdf (application/pdf Object) Bible History Online Images and Resources for Biblical History. Syncretism. Syncretism /ˈsɪŋkrətɪzəm/ is the combining of different, often seemingly contradictory beliefs, while melding practices of various schools of thought.
Syncretism involves the merger and analogizing of several originally discrete traditions, especially in the theology and mythology of religion, thus asserting an underlying unity and allowing for an inclusive approach to other faiths. Syncretism also occurs commonly in expressions of arts and culture (known as eclecticism) as well as politics (syncretic politics). Nomenclature, orthography, and etymology[edit] The Oxford English Dictionary first attests the word syncretism in English in 1618. It derives from modern Latin syncretismus, drawing on Greek συγκρητισμός (synkretismos), meaning "Cretan federation". The Greek word occurs in Plutarch's (1st century AD) essay on "Fraternal Love" in his Moralia (2.490b).
Social and political roles[edit] Religious syncretism[edit] Ancient Greece[edit] Judaism[edit] Roman world[edit] The Serpent and the Real Origins of Freemasonry. By Philip Gardiner | bestsyndication.com Abraham the Israelite father of mankind, and Hiram of the Freemasons, are one and the same, and both are based upon serpent worshippers with Indian Naga or serpent deity backgrounds.
Yes he does . It would be worth checking out some of his leads ;-) I already knew some of the Isis and the mother Mary info of course but a lot in there I've never heard before . The Jewish influence is obvious . Most things about religion go way back before Judaism let alone Christianity . Egypt is a big source . Before Egypt it gets murkier . – mirlen101
Boy this pearl link is pretty complicated ! I think the author over reached somewhat . He should have not bounced around so much . Keeping things in perspective and more to the point . It does make a lot of interesting points though ;-) Some I knew some I didn't . It will take a lot of studying on this one ! ;-) Fits right into my comparative on religion pearl ! – mirlen101
And it wasn't that the Templar's had this big master plan at first . They were a rag tag unit of misfits mostly . So they did what was efficient and sort of natural . They brought in as many extra people as they could . Those people were taken into the fold as Templar's and unionized for stability . The church loved them at first but ended up hating them because of their financial a social power . The Church did their best to exterminated them . – mirlen101
That's why the Freemason's are so mysterious . They were secret for good reason. If the church found out that the church builders and the mercenaries they sent out to push their religious agenda were forming a union of all religions they would have been a little upset to say the least ;-) So Mason's aren't really a cult they are a religion based on all religions . So workers + mercenaries + religion = Freemasons ;-) The Templar's became bankers also . They were arguably the first banking system ;-) – mirlen101
It could be considered a cult but it depends on your perspective . There is a lot of mystery there that not even the Freemasons know . Lost to history and time. The Freemasons seem to have been formed from the stone masons who built the cathedrals and mercenaries like the Templar's . Most people think of the Templar's as religious knights . But the were pretty much just mercenaries hired by the Christian Hierarchy to provide religious order by force . The Templar's were a mix of many peoples and religions . They were more tolerant of the various beliefs , religions and cultures of the peoples they were sent to control and conquer then the Christian Hierarchy that had sent them . The Templar's became involved in many thing including seeing that building were built in areas they controlled . Thus builders ( mason's ) and Templar's started to form a union . Not just builders a multifaceted religion made up of all religious orders ( eventually ) and all types of people . – mirlen101
Thanks I'll have to read it later, got to go for now . I've been studying the Freemason's lately . The Alice Project actually has references to the Freemasons ;-) Because my nephew who I'm doing the painting for is a Freemason same as my half brother ( his father ) And they both wanted the symbolisms included . I've always been fascinated by them . They are very mysterious and interesting . Some people hate them . I'm an agnostic myself . So I look at it from a somewhat detached point of view so to speak ;-) – mirlen101
A grand statement, but one that I am not alone in making.
Westward. We ask :- 1) Did peoples, cultures, languages and ideas migrate predominantly westward around the world in prehistoric and historic times?
2) Is there a probable physical cause for such a westward movement? 3) Given that the cause could be a natural one, and that humans might have existed as civilized beings for much longer than the academics think, is our real social history richer and more complex than the text books say? 4) Can we find reasons for losses ref-01 of history, technology and advanced knowledge?
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Modern `scientists' ref-02 & `historians' have long been telling us that human `civilization' only began about 5 (or maybe 6) thousand years ago - in the farming villages of Sumer - later Babylonia ref-03- and Persia. Have learned to be dubious of `experts' of all kinds, so glad to see some of our (and others') predictions coming up within a lifetime.

Uraeus - the cobra. Isis. Temple of Isis in Philae, Egypt Isis (Ancient Greek: Ἶσις, original Egyptian pronunciation more likely "Aset" or "Iset") is a goddess in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world.
She was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patroness of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans and the downtrodden, but she also listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers.[1] Isis is often depicted as the mother of Horus, the hawk-headed god of war and protection (although in some traditions Horus's mother was Hathor). Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children. This myth became very important during the Greco-Roman period. Set or Seth sister/brother to Isis ? ;-/ Set /sɛt/ or Seth (/sɛθ/; also spelled Setesh, Sutekh,[1] Setekh, or Suty) is a god of the desert, storms, disorder, violence and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion.[2] In Ancient Greek, the god's name is given as Sēth (Σήθ).
Set is not, however, a god to be ignored or avoided; he has a positive role where he is employed by Ra on his solar boat to repel the serpent of Chaos Apep.[2] Set had a vital role as a reconciled combatant.[2] He was lord of the red (desert) land where he was the balance to Horus' role as lord of the black (soil) land.[2] In Egyptian mythology, Set is portrayed as the usurper who killed and mutilated his own brother Osiris. Osiris' wife Isis reassembled Osiris' corpse and resurrected him long enough to conceive his son and heir Horus. Horus sought revenge upon Set, and the myths describe their conflicts. Nephthys - Wikipedia, Sister to Isis. Etymology[edit] Nephthys - Musée du Louvre, Paris, France Nephthys is the Greek form of an epithet (transliterated as Nebet-het, and Nebt-het, from Egyptian hieroglyphs).The origin of the goddess Nephthys is unclear but the literal translation of her name is usually given as "Lady of the House," which has caused some to mistakenly identify her with the notion of a "housewife," or as the primary lady who ruled a domestic household.
This is a pervasive error repeated in many commentaries concerning this deity. Hathor - cow goddess"Mistress of the West". Hathor (/ˈhæθɔr/ or /ˈhæθər/;[2] Egyptian: ḥwt-ḥr and from Greek: Άθωρ, "mansion of Horus")[1] is an Ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the principles of joy, feminine love, and motherhood.[3] She was one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt.
Hathor was worshiped by Royalty and common people alike in whose tombs she is depicted as "Mistress of the West" welcoming the dead into the next life.[4] In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth,[4] as well as the patron goddess of miners.[5] The cult of Hathor predates the historic period, and the roots of devotion to her are therefore difficult to trace, though it may be a development of predynastic cults which venerated fertility, and nature in general, represented by cows.[6] Hathor is commonly depicted as a cow goddess with horns in which is set a sun disk with Uraeus. Early depictions[edit] Horus - the Falcon Son of Isis. Horus is one of the oldest and most significant deities in ancient Egyptian religion, who was worshipped from at least the late Predynastic period through to Greco-Roman times. Different forms of Horus are recorded in history and these are treated as distinct gods by Egypt specialists.[1] These various forms may possibly be different perceptions of the same multi-layered deity in which certain attributes or syncretic relationships are emphasized, not necessarily in opposition but complementary to one another, consistent with how the Ancient Egyptians viewed the multiple facets of reality.[2] He was most often depicted as a falcon, most likely a lanner or peregrine, or as a man with a falcon head.[3] Etymology[edit] Horus was also known as Nekheny, meaning "falcon".
Some have proposed that Nekheny may have been another falcon-god, worshipped at Nekhen (city of the hawk), with which Horus was identified from early on. Osiris - Brother and Husband of Isis. Osiris (/oʊˈsaɪərɨs/; also Usiris), is an Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead. He was classically depicted as a green-skinned man with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive crown with two large ostrich feathers at either side, and holding a symbolic crook and flail. Osiris is first attested in the middle of the Fifth dynasty of Egypt, although it is likely that he was worshipped much earlier;[4] the term Khenti-Amentiu dates to at least the first dynasty, also as a pharaonic title.
Most information available on the myths of Osiris is derived from allusions contained in the Pyramid Texts at the end of the Fifth Dynasty, later New Kingdom source documents such as the Shabaka Stone and the Contending of Horus and Seth, and much later, in narrative style from the writings of Greek authors including Plutarch[5] and Diodorus Siculus.[6] Etymology of the name[edit] Appearance[edit] Early mythology[edit] Geb - Father of Isis ( Earth ) Name[edit] Evohé, Isis! Nut (goddess) - mother of Isis.
Anthropomorphic bearded being could also be depicted as a ram, a bull or a crocodile . 'father' of snakes 'father' of the primeval snake Nehebkau .personified fertile earth and barren desert . Ruled North-Eastern area ? – mirlen101

We agreed not to do anything other than cards but he sent flowers in lieu of going out for a meal. I agree we tend to do things all year rather than going overboard just one day a year.
Day 46 -
Yesterday went fine, I won't discuss details of what was "off-plan", needless to say, I feel a little tiny bit hungover today - but back on the diet 100%. No problem. Not sure it was worth it in all honesty, but OH was happy to have a break off the diet.
Went for my Wi yesterday, only 3lbs off in 2 weeks total I knew it was the case before I went, but not sure, it upset me that I'm losing so very slowly even while doing everything right. Yes, yes, no need to tell me, events like yesterday don't help matters. I nearly didn't go to restaurant! But if 100% only yields such small losses, it's a little disheartening. No point in going off the diet, just ... yeah. Disappointed. Emotionally it really makes me feel like a fat blob and I will always be a fat blob... urgh.
The other thing that upset me is that the OH will be done with his diet soon - maybe another month and a half and he'll be done. I feel VERY proud of him and his progress and determination - he's a star! But that little selfish monster inside just feels sorry for myself knowing I have 5+ months on this if not more. Don't like feeling like such a total b*tch, but I guess it's a normal human emotion. As long as I don't take it out on him (which I have not!) then it's ok I guess. It's not his fault that I piled on the pounds is it! Nope. My own doing and my own problem!
Oh well, on we go.
Day 47.
Feeling normal today - hangovers are really not nice which is why I drink so very rarely. Being half Russian/ half Latvian - there's a myth that all Russians must drink or can handle it and there's always vodka everywhere... Well, actually - if you're a poor class or degenerate - then you drink a lot. Anyone who is normal, having the normal job (I guess equivalent of UK 'middle class' - without any of the luxuries) wouldn't touch alcohol unless it was a special occasion. And special occasions would only happen maybe 4 times a year. My dad doesn't touch alcohol at all, neither does my sister. My granny would even always ask when I would say I met a guy - her first questions would be - "Does he drink? Does he smoke?" I'd say no (even if it's a bit of a lie!) and she'd say "He's a good boy then."
I'm the odd one out in my family because I drink sometimes - but I don't get this English custom of 'Going down to the pub' at every opportunity - even once a week seems excessive. Why get drunk so often - or at all? Sometimes I feel I am the only one who can handle the drink (i.e. start drinking water when I start feeling the alcohol) while the rest of the English around me (and I hang out with Computer Geeks - so fairly tame crowd) go all out -every-time. What's the point? I usually feel fine the next day while they're all dopey eyed and wrapped in duvets feeling rough.
Granted yesterday I felt a little hung over - but my body wasn't prepared for the little I had. Not much food to soak it all up, plus, it was mostly the pulsating tinnitus in my right ear that was the problem. All day, banging in my head. Thankfully it's gone today.
Either way, rant over. So I was thinking... I am getting very upset over this weight thing and how long it's all going to take, blah blah blah... I really have to realise that - actually it's not that I'll suddenly 'feel awesome' when I reach a magic number on the scales. I'll start feeling more awesome as times goes by. I remember starting to feel good at about 11st and a bit - when you're still a bit chubby, but you can pass off being normal. I think I have to stop stressing out so much about the numbers. It will come, and I know I'll feel better and better with every stone that goes off.
So, I made a mini-ticker in my signature to my first big goal - to not be 'OBESE' anymore! At least on the BMI. Mini goal like that - makes it more achievable. Less far away and less depressing! Can't wait for it to be other other side of the half point.
Right, off I go to study EU law... fun fun.
Minerva, I've set out mini goals for myself too, they go 1. Next stone bracket 2. Single lb digits in said stone bracket 3. Half way through said stone bracket 4. Only a few lbs in said stone bracket which then leads us back to 1. The most I'm counting is 4lbs in front which is so much more achievable than what I started with. Not saying it works for everyone but it certainly does for me. Well done on persevering though, your really made of stronger stuff than you give yourself credit for xxx
Yeah Minerva - nice to see you more positive x yep small goals are the way to go ... This week is going to be good !!!
Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins
I have set out mini-goals, they're 7 lb intervals. I might aldso do a flower diagram - maybe for each LB lost and put it on my wall! Quite cheesy though
(example here: http://www.minimins.com/slim-save-of...g-flowers.html (Weight loss tracking flowers!) )
Day 48.
Just plodding along really, studying... What's annoying me at the moment is the fat distribution of my body! I seem to have lost weight off the place I least want to lose it off - by bosom! Mother nature is a lovely lady for sure.
Oh well, back in go the gel-inserts. Being a B cup (even at the fattest mind you!) sucks - and I know at my slimmest I was flat as a board (no need for a bra even...). I remember this being an issue when I lost all my weight, I felt like a boy, completely not feminine at all, which I lost a lot of confidence over... But... maybe because I'm prepared for it now, it'll be less of a shock? Let's hope. I won't go that low in weight anyway, I don't want to be below 8 stone! 10 stone will be fine this time - having been fat pretty much all my life, being thin and feeling bones everywhere is way too freaky, painful and alien.. I need to keep some padding! Just within a normal BMI.
Oh Minerva.
My friends have a similar shape to you by the sounds of it. I'm the opposite with a GG cup and that is no picnic!! When you have a large chest you can never hide it and I hate it when at work men talk to them not me! At least you have the option to use gel boosts as minimiser bras have little effect.
I do agree that it is unfair that when you lose weight you lose it there as I seem to never lose it from my bust but if I put weight on it one of the first places that increases. That is my fear of yoyo dieting.
What are our bodies like! Why don't they listen to what we want?
Hi Minerva
How are you doing today?
Hi Suzie I'm doing ok thank you.. How about you? Finding LL ok still? Did you find any nice recipes?
Day 51 (?) - I think. Started on 1st Jan - so must be! 100% all the way with exception of a meal out last Thursday (14th!) - I'd say that's still pretty good, the longest dieting attempt for quite a while Wi tomorrow morning... Eep.
4 stone still to go though... Losing weight soooo slowly... 2lb per week if I'm lucky even at my BMI! At my age (26)! ARGH. I remember when I did LL in 2008 - I was losing weight at the same rate as a lady who was about 60. Maybe it's my genetics? North European - maybe there's something to be said about retaining fat in the winter months when there's no food around...
I know technically I would lose similar amounts if I calorie counted and ate a bit more. I do find that when I'm on the VLCD - if I have an 'up' day (i.e. eat much more) - I'd still lose 2lb. Unfortunately January 2012 I re-started LL when I wasn't mentally ready - and I did 6 "pack" days and had 1 binge day (nothing excessive, but still) - and still lost weight. People lose weight doing the 5:2 approach, or JuDDDing or whatever else... Everything works.
In a way, maybe the VLCD isn't right for me, but it's the only diet I've ever actually done (past simple calorie counting - which became an obsessive compulsive exercise...). Ohh I don't know.
Today I'm hungry I blame the half bottle of champagne on Sunday - I know!! You have been so good I've had 4 off plan days. Well tbh off plan might be wording it too strongly as they were days I had extras.
I have started to track my lighter life packs and my daily meal in My Fitness Pal and OMG I can see how easy it can be to become OCD about it! I have had my first bar (in weeks) today for lunch as I needed to eat something but until then I had been avoided them as I could see the extra calories they contained. It has helped me bring the calorie content of my meals down.
Im hoping for a good weigh in tomorrow night as I know I was retaining water last week so it will be great if I can lose than my usual 2lb loss. I know we can get these loses with WW but I'm finding this easier to stick to. Not having to think about food really helps and I am finding having no carbs means I have stopped craving junk food.
Keep going, you are doing great!
Err... Day 54.
I guess I should write something Diet's fine, plodding along.
I looked over some old weight-loss pictures, I guess I may as well add them here, maybe it'll inspire me!!
Original weight loss in 2008, final picture taken mid-2009. Sizes 22-18-16-12-06/08. As you can see I'm lacking any kind of cleavage - DAMN THOSE GENETICS!!
I braved the camera today - it made me realise I'm MUCH FATTER THAN I THOUGHT. Oh well at least I'm facing the truth!! Size 18 at the moment. Still - on the BRIGHT SIDE - my size 18 dresses I bought last year fit now, some of them still have price tags on because they didn't quite fit at the time! ... A small achievement, I guess I have to take them where I find them...
Part of me is also wondering why we share such intimate things about ourselves on these diaries... These pictures show us on the worst days of our lives sometimes!! ... Well, I hope to add to these pictures with time and see changes!! ...now that I've shared...
... *hides in her bat-cave*
Your doing brilliantly, no need to hide in the bat cave. In a few months you'll be throwing those 18s aside as they'll be too big. You've been in it for the long haul since the beginning. Now that determination is showing. It's always nice to fit into something that was once tight regardless of the size on the label. Well done xxx
Wishing you all the luck in the world along your journey, I know you'll do it. You did it before, you can do it again
Try not to worry too much about your OH - if I told you half of the stuff my hubby has been up to (not unfaithful, I don't think, but still!!), you'd think your OH was a saint! Men, they just don't think. It's most probably something and nothing.
But I know how you feel - it's not nice at all.
Ps. WOW to your pics! That's an amazing achievement!

Al Munro, 'Untitled 2′ 2015
acrylic paint on plywood, 43 x 31cm
'Untitled' would appear to be the most common name attributed to a work of art. Despite the word denoting nothingness, the power of the untitled work is that it has the ability to express the opposite. Artists usually name works to convey something further about the piece to an audience, whether that is a feeling, a description, or a nod to its inspiration. An untitled work, on the other hand, asks the audience to think and question a little more in order to uncover meaning.
The works in this exhibition will differ in style, medium, inspiration and affect. The only unifying quality will be that the works do not allow audiences to rely on a title for further instruction and will instead be entirely open to interpretation.

BALTIMORE, Aug 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Against the backdrop of the national health care reform debate, Maryland has taken an important step in fostering the use of interoperable technology to reduce health care costs and improve the quality of care for all Marylanders.
The Health Services Cost Review Commission, the state agency that sets reimbursement rates for hospitals, today unanimously approved up to $10 million in startup funding through hospital reimbursement rate adjustments that will be used over the next two to five years to build a statewide health information exchange. This funding positions Maryland to apply for further funding for its health information exchange through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 later this year.
"Combined with the widespread adoption of electronic health records by hospitals and physicians, health information exchange is one of two critical components to building a truly integrated, 21st-century health care delivery system," said David Horrocks, the president of the Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP), which is the organization chosen by the state to build the health information exchange. "Maryland has positioned itself as a leader in this critical endeavor."
"Americans are paying attention to health care issues now more than ever. And we know we have to create a more efficient system. Patient controlled, privacy protected HIE is an excellent first step," said Dr. Mark Kelemen, CRISP board member, cardiologist, and Chief Medical Informatics Officer of the University of Maryland Medical System.
The funding approval comes several weeks after the Maryland Health Care Commission, the state agency responsible for the development and implementation of the statewide health information exchange, unanimously approved CRISP as the state's formally designated health information exch

New morning: Albert Pujols joins Angels in camp
Published February 20, 2012 7:38 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
TEMPE, Ariz. • Albert Pujols has arrived to begin his first spring training with the Los Angeles Angels.
Just as the sun was illuminating the Angels' facility, Pujols pulled his black Mercedes into the players' lot. Clutching a bag with some of his belongings, the three-time NL MVP headed to the clubhouse to meet his new teammates. The slugger's first stop was the equipment room, where he was introduced to several employees and clubhouse attendants.
Pujols left the St. Louis Cardinals after 11 seasons in December for a roughly $250 million contract with the Angels. He is scheduled to take infield and batting practice before holding a news conference at a hotel to discuss the next phase of his illustrious career.

The fire started before 4:45 p.m. on the eastbound side of the freeway, near the Fruitland exit. The fire was burning toward the southeast late Monday. A radio tower was threatened. but no other structures were threatened, the BLM spokesman said. Idaho State Police assisted with traffic control.
The flames were out by 9 p.m., but a lot of smoke was still coming off the fire, the spokesman said. Officials expected the fire to be contained by midnight, but crews planned to stay at the scene overnight to work on hot spots.
A 4,200 acre brush fire northwest of Mountain Home, ignited by a flaming bird Sunday afternoon, was extinguished Monday.
Wildland firefighting crews classified the 4,200 acre Martha's Mud Fire as contained by noon, less than a day after it was started by a bird that got caught up in some power lines, according to Bureau of Land Management reports. It was later extinguished.
Fire crews and several pieces of equipment, like water engines, tanker planes, and helicopters, worked Sunday afternoon and through the night on the blaze to keep it from growing, according to BLM reports.
Fire crews spent much of Monday morning doing "mop-up" on the fire -- extinguishing hot spots, BLM spokeswoman Jessica Gardetto said.
The fire ignited sometime between 3:30-to-5 p.m. Sunday and quickly spread into grasses and sagebrush in the desert due to temperatures in the 90s and high winds.
Fire crews with the BLM's Boise District have responded to seven brush fires in the last week. After a wet spring, the hot summer temperatures over the last several weeks have caused the grasses and shrubs in the desert to dry out.
With temperatures in the Treasure Valley expected to be in the mid-to-high 90s this week and a busy holiday weekend ahead, fire officials are urging recreationists and motorists to use extreme caution near desert/prairie areas.

Tucked away behind a small industrial complex in Hanapepe on the Island of Kauai lies a hidden local treasure: Glass Beach. An easy spot to visit, the beach is made of bright, ocean-frosted sea glass. But a short walk east from the parking area one can find an even cooler gem — a naturally formed lava arch and keyhole cave on a jagged dark amber shoreline. Firm breezes make the tumbling waves of the spot a sight to behold. We captured them on iPhone in this GP Short.

Wyeth (a) knowingly promoted the sale and use of Rapamune for uses for which it had not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including for use in connection with solid organ transplant patients other than kidney transplant patients, which were not medically-accepted indications (as defined in 42 U.S.C. § 1396r-8(k)(6)), and were not covered by Medicare, Medicaid and other Federal health care programs; and (b) knowingly promoted the sale and use of Rapamune in treatment regimens that had not been approved by the FDA including the use of Rapamune with transplant patients who used another immunosuppressant drug before using Rapamune and the use of Rapamune in combination with certain types of products other than cyclosporine and corticosteroids.
Ms. Sandler and Mr. Paris were represented by Grant & Eisenhofer director Reuben Guttman and Senior Counsel Traci Buschner. Mr. Guttman is one of the country's preeminent whistleblower lawyers, having representing individuals in some of the largest pharmaceutical and financial services cases on record.
"Pfizer subsidiary Wyeth joins a parade of other pharma giants to plead guilty and pay significant penalties for unlawfully marketing their drugs," said Mr. Guttman. "The abuses related to illicit marketing of Rapamune paint a disturbing portrait. Wyeth leadership placed a highly vulnerable patient population at serious health risk. Exposing those whom drug makers have pledged to heal to increased risk merits immediate congressional oversight. Hopefully, the settlement will prompt Congress to take action."
Mr. Guttman continued: "Over the past five years, at least half a dozen pharma giants have paid fines for con

Providing reliable auto service has been our family's way of life ever since Jim Flannery Senior sold his snowmobile back in 1968 for the $800 it cost to open up the shop. He had been working as the shop foreman at the Vincent Chevrolet Dealership until the opportunity came to start out on his own. As the business grew, the original shop moved from the Spur Station on the corner of Shonat and Apple Avenue over to Laketon and US-31, eventually settling to where you'll find us today, at 2000 East Laketon Avenue, right at the corner that meets with Evanston.
Jim Sr. and his two brothers worked for many years, building the family's reputation as excellent, reliable auto mechanics that really do care about keeping your car safe on the road.

Returning 'sex-for-fly' exec sent to Zamboanga-A A +A
Wednesday, April 9, 2014
LABOR Attaché Adam Musa will not be returning to his old post in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) any time soon despite already completing his one-month suspension.
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said that she has assigned Musa to oversee the overseas employment program for the victims of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) siege in Zamboanga City.
"Labatt Musa is now assigned sa Zamboanga City. Iyon ang pinatutukan ko sa kanya kasi Middle East din ang gusto nilang puntahan for these skilled workers," said Baldoz.
She noted how Musa has already served out his one-month suspension stemming from his supposed attempt to cover up a sex abuse case involving his driver in Saudi Arabia against an overseas Filipino worker (OFW).
Baldoz said this means that she does not intend to re-deploy their officials earlier implicated in the "sex-for-fly" scheme.
"Wala siguro. Dito muna sila," said Baldoz with reference also to former Jordan acting labor attaché Mario Antonio.
He is already in his third month of his four-month suspension over findings of "simple misconduct" by Department of Labor and Employment's (Dole) internal probe after he was found to have used vulgar and indecent language when talking to distressed workers while serving as acting labor attaché in Jordan and was also caught watching pornographic materials using office laptop.
Antonio's assignment upon his return is still under evaluation, said Baldoz.
In a related development, Baldoz said she is already set to release the decision on the charges versus Riyadh assistant labor attaché Antonio Villafuerte in the next few days.
"Baka within the week. Parang nasa table ko na pero hindi ko na naa-aksyonan e," said Baldoz.
Villafuerte is facing administrative case for "simple negligence" based on the results of the investigation of the Dole fact-finding team as well as a possible "sexual harassment" case. (HDT/Sunnex)

text: A stand-out publication is the Kodak Professional Photoguide. I have the 5th ed. (1995) in the spiral bound (and more expensive version). It has an incredible amount of information crammed into 56 pages (6 x 8-1/2), including a gray card. One of the most useful pages discusses stop-action shutter speeds with a formula and a detailed table that takes into account the subject's speed (with lots of typical subjects), distance from the camera and direction (angle) of subject motion.

Simon Cowell denies 'gay' claims
Simon Cowell has denied the claim of him being a "gay", post dismissal of Tulisa Contostavlos's drug trial.
The former N-Dubz singer's PA, Gareth Varey, was heard in a recording played during the trial, saying that he knew men who had slept with Cowell, the Mirror reported.
In a statement, after the conclusion of the trial, it was written that the 54-year-old television personality was referred to during the trial without forewarning, which resulted in widespread media coverage of untrue claims regarding his private life.
The statement further added that in 2014, the question of someone's preference (gay or not) was "antiquated" and since, Varey made a false statement, they were obliged to clarify.
