Gardening Tips
Ruellia elegans, Ruellia Ragin Cajun, Red Ruellia
Ruellia elegans, 'Ragin Cajun' is a member of the Acanthaceae family. It grows 12-16 inches high by 12-18 inches wide in zones 8, 9, and 10.
'Ragin Cajun' Red Ruellia produces red, trumpet shaped flowers held above the medium green foliage from late spring to fall. Blooms practically year round in frost free climates. This compact growing selection of Red Ruellia 'Ragin Cajun' makes a great filler in mixed containers, alone as a specimen or as a perennial in the garden. Attracts hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. This plant is rarely bothered by deer or any other pests and disease. This clump forming, die-back perennial readily reseeds on exposed soils creating a groundcover in time. Read more

One week each year a group of British, Dutch,Canadian and New Zealander always book in at the La Quinta Hotel next door to the Restuarant prior to us all visiting Sebring Raceway for the "12 Hours of Sebring".
I have tried a number of the dishes off the menu both before and after the fire 3 years ago and I must say that everything was well presented and tasty especially the black and blue burger, which must be the best burger I have ever tasted!!!!. Although I am not a fish eater, my son always has the blackened grouper at least once during the visit.
The bar staff are always very helpful and courteous even with large groups of tourists, like ourselves.
Being a local bar they regulary have live bands performing.On the Sunday we came back from the circuit they had a traditional Irish band playing...wel it was St.Paddys day and the place was buzzing.

This invention is the result of a contract with the Department of Energy (Contract No. W-7405-ENG-36).
The present invention relates to a process of micromilling materials with a high aspect ratio and to articles prepared by such a process such as high density durable data storage media.
Ion micromilling is presently conducted under a medium vacuum of about 10-6 Torr. Aspect ratios, i.e., ratios of milled depth to horizontal cut, are generally limited to around 10 to because of redeposition of sputtered material caused by scattering from the residual gas within the system. A need has remained for a process of milling with an increased aspect ratio.
While the storage of information or data has seen revolutionary changes in the past century, the long term storage and interpretation of such data may present an important problem. Rothenberg, Scientific American, pp. 42-47, 1995, describes the problems associated with the longivity of documents.
The storage of information or data storage has commonly involved the use of magnetic or optical recording carriers. Recently, the use of scanning tunnel microscopes (STM's) has been investigated for the writing and reading of storage information by means of topographical changes to flat metal surfaces. Wiesendanger, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. B, v. 12, no. 2, pp. 515-529 (1994), reviews STM and similar scanning probe microscopy in fabrication of nanometer-scale structures and the unresolved problems of the limited temporal stability of such nanometer-scale structures. Other similar references include: Adamchuk et al., Ultramicroscopy v. 45, pp. 1-4 (1992), describing the use of an STM to microprocess nanometer-sized craters of about 50 nanometers (nm) in diameter and 10 nm in depth in gold films on flat silicon substrates; Li et al., Appl. Phys. Lett., v. 54, no. 15, pp. 1424-1426 (1989), describing electroetching nanometer-sized craters about 2 nm in diameter and up to about 1 nm in depth in flat gold substrates with a STM operating in air; Silver et al., Appl. Phys. Lett., v. 51, no. 4, pp. 247-249 (1987), describing the direct writing of submicron metallic features by deposition of a new substance (cadmium from organometallic gas) on a surface with a STM; and, Abraham et al., IBM J. Res. Develop v. 30, no. 5, pp. 492-499 (1986), describing surface modification with a STM via surface diffusion and mention the possibility of high density memory storage. The present data storage systems each suffer from one or more problems including the long term stability or durability of the medium.
It is an object of this invention to provide a process of milling with an increased aspect ratio greater than about 10, preferably up to about 50.
It is another object of this invention to provide articles of manufacture formed by the present milling process, such articles including, e.g., durable data storage media.
To achieve the foregoing and other objects, and in accordance with the purposes of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, the present invention provides a process of machining a microstructure of high aspect ratio within a target substrate including placing a target substrate within an ultrahigh vacuum environment, producing a computer data file adapted for operation of a computer-controlled focused ion beam during formation of a milled microstructure in said target substrate, and exposing the target substrate to the computer-controlled focused ion beam, the computer-controlled focused ion beam controlled by software utilizing the computer data file whereby a milled microstructure of high aspect ratio is formed in said target substrate.
The present invention further provides a durable data storage medium comprising a substrate having milled characters therein, said milled characters having an aspect ratio of depth to width of from about 1 to about 50. The storage medium can include milled characters selected from the group consisting of digital characters, alphanumeric characters, glyphical characters and 3-D graphical characters.
FIG. 1 shows a top view of a chamber employing an ultrahigh vacuum-focused ion beam system in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows a plot of grating lines rotated 85 degrees to show resolution detail with such representing how an Ionmill Version 2.5 would mill the pattern.
FIG. 3 shows a Raw I (x,y) file for generating alphanumeric milling.
FIG. 4 shows an example of a mathematically generated shape used for a 3-D ion milling from a fourth generation software routine running inside Mathcad.
FIG. 5 shows an Atomic Force Microscope image of the milled structure from the 3-D ion milling of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 shows a bandpass filter formable by the process of the present invention.
The present invention is concerned with a micromilling process for small-scale fabrication down to the nanometer-scale and to articles fabricated by this process. In the present process, micromilling is conducted under an ultrahigh vacuum, i.e., a vacuum of less than about 10-9 Torr, preferably a super high vacuum in the range of from about 50 to about 120 picoTorr (6.3�10-11 - 1.6�10-10 millibar).
The micromilling process of the present invention can achieve high aspect ratios, i.e., milled depth to horizontal cut (width), of greater than about 10, generally up to about 50. With such high aspect ratios, the present process can serve as a valuable tool for cross-sectioning and depth-profiling on a submicron lateral scale. This would allow, for example, failure analysis of a submicron metallization deep in an integrated circuit to check for trace elemental contaminants by use of a suitable Auger analyzer or secondary ion mass spectrometer in conjunction with the apparatus used for the present process.
The micromilling process of the present invention can be used for fabrication of, e.g., beams, levers, capacitors, lenses, diffraction gratings, waveguides, bandpass filters, antennas, and fasteners, each of a high feature aspect ratio for ultrasmall chemical, electronic and mechanical sensors. Further, the micromilling process can be used for the recording of data upon a suitable substrate. Such data can be recorded as characters upon the substrate using, e.g., digital or numeric characters, alphabetic or alphanumerical characters, and graphical or glyphical characters, i.e., characters in the form of a three dimensional (3-D) graphic or picture. By "character" is generally meant any symbol representative of a writing or communicative system and within the present process of recording data it can include any feature distinguishable from the surface background of the substrate. A binary system of recording data can also be employed wherein a binary data character is represented by a single surface depression upon the substrate or by the absence of such a single surface depression upon the substrate.
FIG. 1 shows a chamber employing the ultrahigh vacuum-focused ion beam system employable in the practice of the present process or in forming the data storage media. In FIG. 1, a ultra-high vacuum chamber 10 includes a number of ports for viewing of the target substrate, for filming of the target substrate, for insertion or manipulation of the target substrate, and for various analyses of the target substrate such as from secondary electron emission. Port 12 can be a view port with port 14 being used for a camera port. Other view ports 16 and 18 are shown as is a roughing pump port 20. Another port 22 contains the ion beam gun driven by appropriate software. Multiple ion beam guns may be used if desired to speed additional milling.
In contrast to earlier milling systems, the present process can achieve high aspect ratios in a chemical-assist free environment. That is, no chemical-assist needs to be added to the system to achieve the aspect ratios of greater than 10 up to at least about 50. By "chemical-assist", it is meant a reactive gas such as typically chlorine added to react with sputtered material and reduce any redeposition.
Among the materials that can be milled by the micromilling process of the present invention are included refractory metals such as iridium, tantalum, tungsten, molybdenum and niobium, elements of the first row transition metals in the periodic table such as scandium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, and copper, and vacuum compatible semiconductors such as silicon and gallium arsellide. Other materials may include high temperature insulators such as alumina, ruby, sapphire, silica or quartz so long as any attendant electric charge can be compensated by an auxiliary electron gun or other suitable means during the milling.
In one embodiment of the micromilling process of the present invention, transmission diffraction gratings have been fabricated which were then used as infrared bandpass filters. One grating material used was pulsed gas alumina, a conductive film of approximately 2-5 microns thickness. Diffraction elements milled completely through the film were positioned in a regular array such that the diffraction intensities through the array could be modeled by conventional Rayleigh optics calculations. A resultant grating of the type and dimensions shown in FIG. 6 produced major bandpass at 11-12 microns (infrared) as expected. Use of this process presents an alternative to conventional LIGA (Synchrotron X-ray lithography and electroforming) as described by Microparts Gesellschaft fur Mikrostructurtechnik, Karlsruhe, Germany in that the diffraction elements are smaller than those reported on or about May 1993 by Microparts. Because the spot size of the ion beam can be made extremely small (ca. 50 nm or less, it is expected that use of ultrahigh vacuum focused ion micromilling could be reasonably extended to produce transmission diffraction gratings which bandpass ultraviolet or visible light at acceptably high transmission.
In another embodiment of the micromilling process of the present invention, the micromilling process can be used for data storage upon, e.g., metal and semiconductor materials. Such data storage can be of high density and can be highly durable. By "high density", it is meant that a small dowel-shaped medium of about 1/16 inch in diameter and about 1 inch in length containing milled characters of about one square micron can hold up to about 1 gigabyte of ASCII information if it is assumed that each Latin character is equivalent to 8 bits or 1 byte. An equivalent binary representation would, by comparison, allow 4 gigabytes of information to be written in the same space.
The data storage media of the present invention offers an extremely durable media for the storage of data with such media generally capable of surviving electromagnetic pulses, radio-frequency (RF) interference, magnetic fields, exposure to common solvents including but not limited to water, alcohols and acetone, thermal gradients and fires. The data storage media can offer advantages of high reliability in comparison to magnetic/magneto-optical media thereby reducing the need to replace backup data, can offer a low capital cost for storage data in terms of the actual substrate, e.g., a steel dowel pin can serve as the actual storage material for milling of the data. Other advantages of such data storage media can be that the character etch milling is an environmentally benign dry process, that there should not be embrittlement of the medium over time, and that the medium can be recycled or reused if desired by grinding and polishing of the medium.
In one embodiment of the data storage application of the present milling process, a suitable substrate can be formed into a preformatted media by pre-milling a series of individual surface depressions representative of one type of binary characters, i.e., either ones or zeros. In one manner of accelerating the process of subsequent data storage system, the pre-milled substrate can be backfilled with an overcoat material characterized as more easily and quickly removable than the substrate material itself, but durable and resistant to inadvertant degradation of the overcoat material. The overcoat material can then be removed only for those characters needed to change the binary character representation. In another manner, pre-casting of a series of individual bumps representative of one type of binary characters, i.e., either ones or zeros can be formed upon a suitable substrate. Such pre-casting can use a material such as polyvinyl alcohol, polystyrene, and spin-on glass in thicknesses, e.g., of up to about 75 microns. Then, the requisite bumps of the pre-cast material can then be removed only for those characters needed to change the binary character representation.
One problem typically associated with the long term storage of data relates to the methods that will be used to read the data hundreds to thousands of years after it is written. The benefit of the present micromilling process for data storage is that it allows the storage of data in several formats and densities upon the same media. For example, the protocol used to store the data can be written at one data density (size) that could be man-readable with simple tools or even by simply vision or minor magnification. Then, the protocol could be used to read the remaining data written at the higher density (small size) and in a different format. Thus, in effect a type of "Rosetta Stone" can be created that allows the decoupling of information from storage and retrieval methods and provides the necessary key to be used to read the stored data far into the future. In contrast to the original "Rosetta Stone", the present data storage medium uses different sizes of information rather than just one, and the present data storage medium does not repeat the actual data but simply provides a key for reading the remaining data.
The data storage system of the present invention can allow for the storage of multiple types of information in a single storage medium, i.e., both alphanumeric and graphical or glyphical characters can be milled into a single substrate and both types of information can then be retrieved. In another manner, various sizes of characters can be milled into a single substrate. Among the various sizes can be included small sizes targeted for the efficient storage of large amounts of data as well as large sizes targeted for visual observation by the unaided human eye. In this manner, large amounts of data can be stored on a substrate, yet it would be apparent to an individual seeing the data storage system at some later date, even much later in the future, that there was information stored upon the substrate. Further, large size instructions regarding how to read the small size characters can be included directly upon the substrate. The small size characters can then be included in the remaining area of the substrate around the large size structures or may even be included within the milled areas of the larger size characters.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the micromilling process can be used to form an antenna. As a basic monopole antenna is a resonant structure that acts as a bandpass filter, if the radio frequency of interest is in the bandpass of the antenna, a signal will be present at the antenna output. A radio wave (RF signal) is normally detected using a derivative displacement field detector, which is an antenna. Often there are benefits from using arrays of antennas to improve signal to noise thus improving the performance of the antenna system. By use of the present micromilling process, very small antennas and antenna arrays can be produced and such small size antennas and antenna arrays can allow an increase in the frequencies of potential interest. One application would be the use of a small antenna connected to a capacitively-charged-coupled device (CCCD) thereby producing a "picture" using the RF signal as the light source.
In the process for micromilling for data storage, three separate procedures can be employed for the production of digital, alphanumeric, and 3-D dimensional image data. All procedures ultimately produce a file called a millstream file which can be read and rapidly processed by a commercial digital-to-analog converter. The file is of the form: ##EQU1## where s=3-dimensional mode designator; nf=number of frame repetitions; np=total number of data lines; t i!x i!y i!t i!=beam dwell time in nanoseconds; x i!=horizontal position in digital-to-analog converter units (0-4095); and, y i!=vertical horizontal position in digital-to-analog converter units (0-4095). The entries s, nf and np are collectively known as the millstream header. Note that the digital and alphanumeric data modes employed are actually restricted cases of 3-dimensional image milling. Separate software can be used for simple line and box milling, and such software available as Ionmill Version 2.5 from FEI Co.
Processing of digital data for control of the ion milling can be as follows: Digital data can be first derived mathematically or read in by Mathcad 4.0, a commercial numerical and graphics package using the following software developed to run within Mathcad. For example, the following array of alternating ones and zeros was used to generate a digital array of corresponding ion beam dwell times: ##EQU2##
Test patterns can be generated for subsequent use in ion milling. For example, the digital array mentioned above can be created in the software example below: ##EQU3##
Variations of this example were obtained by adjusting values or parameters of n, m, D, T, and E. These intermediate files(e.g., NGRATE2.prn) are left-justified and only a single space separates t,x,y values. This is the file structure required by the commercial ionmill software package from FEI Co. Subsequent file processing requires the removal of the minus signs, a left registry shift, and the attachment of the appropriate header. It proved most convenient to write a conversion routine in BASIC to produce the final mill file xxx.str from the intermediate xxx.prn file. An example of the preferred file conversion routine is shown below.

Alternatively, any text editor package can be used to convert files for this purpose. Convenient packages include the "Find and Replace" features of Microsoft Word for Windows, Version 2.0. Typically, the "find" operation can locate, e.g., "-" and the "replace all" operation can be used to convert to " ". The left registry shift can then be accomplished automatically. Then, the processed file can be stored as xxx.txt and finally, the millstream header is attached to the xxx.txt file and stored as xxx.str, a file compatible with FEI Co. Ionmill software Version 2.5.
Alphanumeric data such as man-readable characters, exposure masks, business card logos, or any item which can be placed in a flatbed scanner to produce a grayscale image, or any video frame grabber output falls into this category. In general, the processing scheme is to (1) scan the item (e.g., a textbook page) and electronically crop out the relevant image area; (2) enchance the contrast in the selected area; (3) convert to a black and white image; (4) save the converted image as, e.g., a PostScript file; (5) remove the header and footer from the PostScript file and save as an ordered Mathcad file; (6) assign dwell times to the dark areas (e.g., black printed text); (7) vectorize the file (i.e., remove data from the unnecessary white areas); (8) produce a final millstream file as shown, e.g., in FIG. 3, using the method described above for digital data.
Operations (1)-(4) can be carried out in a commercial scanner package called Colorlab Version 4.0 With an Epson ES-300-C flatbed scanner with IBM-PC adapter using menu functions. Operation (5) can be done in Microsoft Word for Windows Version 2.0 using the Delete function(s). Operations (5)-(6) can be done using additional software developed to run inside Mathcad as in the example below. ##EQU4## This software is designed to read a file which was generated in Colorlab by scanning a printed logo and rendering a black and white postscript file. Then in Microsoft WinWord, the Postscript header and footer are removed, the grayscale text 0-F(hex) is replaced with 0-9(dec) (we have chosen the simplest case of 0-1(dec)), and every other character was replaced by a space so that single digits could be recognized (Set a very large page size in WinWord). There is no loss of resolution, but the number of columns in WinWord double (this example was executed at 72 lpi.). The file was stored as an blk.prn, a structured Mathcad file of 239 lines by 78/2=39 columns. The Los Alamos logo is rendered below.
Operation (7) can then be done as described above for digital data.
Alternatively, operations (3)-(5) can be skipped, and the grayscale image can be saved as a TIFF (xxx.tif, several flavors), Windows Bitmap (xxx.bmp), Windows Paintbrush (xxx.pcx), TARGA (xxx.tga) or a grayscale Postscript file (xxx.eps). Then, using menu commands inside the software package Mocha Version 1.1, the pixel intensities can be extracted in array format and stored as a comma or space delimited ASCII string file (xxx.dat). Operation (6) can be then accomplished by yet another software routine also written to run inside Mathcad as in the example below.
This program will extract pixel intensity data from a Mocha V1.1 worksheet and produce an Ionmill xxx.prn precursor file for subsequent conversion to an Ionmill xxx.str file. N=# of x elements; M=# y elements; P=# of pixels=rows(Mt). Initial read file is lanllog.dat. Change as necessary for other file reads. Other changes: WRITEPRN(lanlmoc). We also incorporate a vectorizing rountine which reduces the size of the mill files to only the essectial pixels. ##EQU5##
The structure of the PostScript file for use in constructing Ionmill precursor files requires a xxx.eps header containing a "j" by "i" specification of characters. Spaces are then added between characters in a text editor such that the corresponding file size is doubled; e.g., 78�70 goes to 156�70, yet no resolution is lost. These files up to the accommodation limit of the Ionmill software can then be processed. Note however, that scanned images of text must be rotated +90 degrees in a trigonometry sense, i.e., counterclockwise; otherwise, a very slow matrix transformation function is required to produce the correct orientation for the Ionmill files.
3-D Image Data are actually stored as an ion-milled 3-D structure in a substrate material. All structures in this category can be described mathematically as dependent variable functions of the form
A further restriction is that, for a given set of x, y values, only one value of t is permitted. Physically, this rules out all milling sites not in line of sight of the ion beam. Sequential structural milling from a different orientation would, however, remove the single valued restriction of z.
Single orientation 3-D milling is usually done by calculating an array z i,j!, plotting its graph for inspection purposes, and creating an ionmill precursor file of the same form as previously described for the cases of digital and alphanumeric data. Subsequent processing to achieve a millstream file is as previously described. A separate software routine for each 3-D shape thus far milled has been written. While the equations for each shape are unique, the mechanics of array indexing, data formatting, and file writing and conversion are the same for all shapes in this category. The illustrative example below shows typical software required to generate a 3-D feature (in this case, a screw thread). ##EQU6##
FIG. 4 shows a plot of the 3-D structure generated above, while FIG. 5. shows an Atomic Force Microscope image of the actual milled structure.
Using the techniques described above, one could extend the method to mill 3-D shapes according to grayscale or color pixel values extracted from video-generated TIFF, Bitmap, TARGA, or other graphics files. Data from the shapes could be recovered from the depth information available from scanning probe techniques such as atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy.
The present invention is more particularly described in the following example which is intended as illustrative only, since numerous modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
A total of 52 alphanumeric characters were typed including all of the lower case and upper case letters of the alphabet. These typed letters were then scanned into a data file, converted into the millstream file for recognition by the software of an FEI Ionmill machine and the machine etched or micromilled the characters onto a high carbon steel (HCS) dowel pin. The characters had a size of 10 microns and occupied a total space on the dowel pin of 520 square microns. An additional 4 characters were written on the same HCS dowel at the scale of 1 square micron per character. To retrieve the milled data, a scanned video print of the actual milled surface magnified 500 times was fed into a commercial character recognition software application. The results of this test showed that even at an untrained level, the character recognition program could recognize a majority of the milled characters. The milled characters had an aspect ratio of depth to width of at least 15 as determined by the measurement limit of Atomic Force Microscopy.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific details, it is not intended that such details should be regarded as limitations upon the scope of the invention, except as and to the extent that they are included in the accompanying claims.

Tucson lawmaker wants to change language regarding disabilities
PHOENIX — At more than 400 pages, Rep. Stefanie Mach of Tucson is pretty sure her bill is this session's largest.
"It's a simple change," she says. "But it's a really powerful one."
Mach's bill involves changing language in state laws — dropping the word "handicapped" and putting people before disabilities. For example, rather than "disabled student," a law would read "student with a disability."
"We can pretend that language doesn't matter, but it does," Mach said. "Understand that they want to seen for their humanities and other characteristics first and people who just happen to have disabilities. It's not a whole encompassing view of them, it's just a part of them."
A car crash when she was 17 led to Mach's right arm being amputated. She said she happens to have a disability from doing some things, "But certainly not the majority of what's important to me. I'm very capable of doing many things in society. I have a master's in public policy, I was the first in my family to get a college degree. I own a business consulting for non-profits and I'm very able in this community."
The bill also calls for changing the language in future state literature and signs. For example, the word "handicapped" would no longer appear on signs. Mach says the symbol itself has been federally recognized as appropriate and sufficient.

(March 22, 2013) -- As part of the UTSA Office of P-20 Initiatives road trips to South Texas, a UTSA professor returned to her alma mater, Donna High School, to motivate students to attend college. Associate Professor Maricela Oliva in the UTSA Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies returned to the Rio Grande Valley recently to speak to approximately 600 students at Sharyland High School in Mission and Donna High School in Donna about the importance of education beyond high school.
Oliva described her personal academic journey and told students that the support of their families is an important asset in helping them pursue and achieve their academic dreams. Belinda Saldana, UTSA director of community outreach in the Office of P-20 Initiatives, provided students with a UTSA overview and various higher education pathways.

Check it out! Published July 28, 2013 12:00 Sloane Stephens and Taylor Townsend took part in a very special exposition on Friday afternoon. The two took to the streets near the United States Capitol for a tennis clinic with local children. Friday's exposition featured children from the Department of Parks & Recreation tennis programs. Stephens and Townsend didn't just hit with the kids, they also posed for photographs with them. With the incredible backdrop of the United States Capitol making those photos even more special. Stephens and Townsend are two of the most promising future stars for tennis in the United States. And Stephens is already a very established WTA star, just recently debuting in the Top 15. The action then moved to City Hall, where the mayor of Washington DC, Vincent Gray, helped out. Former Australian Open finalist Marcos Baghdatis joined the WTA stars at the draw ceremony. Stephens with her promotional poster. Stephens made the semifinals of the Australian Open this year. And Townsend with the tournament promo. Townsend won the Aussie Open junior title last year. Townsend came back out on Saturday, visiting a YMCA alongside former Top 10 player Mardy Fish. Townsend and Fish hit with some of the children who attend the programs at the facility. The American pair also signed autographs for the kids who turned out to the special event. Fish and Townsend then toured the facility and even tried out some of the available equipment.

Skip to comments.MILLER: Forced to be fat
Posted on 05/11/2012 3:54:51 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Americans are fatter than ever, but its not their fault. Thats according to the latest effort to solve an obesity crisis in the only way liberals know how - with more government.
A study released this week from researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Duke University and RTI International found obesity rates to be on course to rise from 34 to 42 percent of the U.S. population by 2030. The number of severely obese - defined as about 100 pounds overweight - will double to 11 percent.
Today, 68 percent of Americans are overweight and half of those are obese. According to the CDC, the average man is 59 tall and weighs 195 pounds. Thats an inch taller but 30 pounds heavier than the average in 1960. The average woman has also grown an inch in 50 years to 54, but she spins the scales 25 pounds heavier at 165 pounds.
A new report from the highly influential Institute of Medicine this week blames society and business for this obesity epidemic. The organization, which was created by the National Academy of Sciences, wants the federal government to insert itself in the private market to force food and beverage companies to provide healthy options at competitive prices everywhere that food is offered. Fast-food and chain restaurants would have to change the childrens menu to comply with federal dietary guidelines without charging more for these options. Sugary sodas would be taxed.
The basic idea is that people cant stop themselves from eating hot dogs at a baseball game or ordering a double-cheese pizza from the couch. Government-centric busybodies want to turn fat people into a class of victims so that Big Brother can come and take control of not just their lives, but everyones food choices.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
Try a modified Atkins diet.
I thought that the average for men was 5'10 and the average for women was 5'4" back in 1970.
See, I don't want to diet. Every time I've dieted I've ended up heavier than I was before I started the diet. I'm all about eliminating things that make me feel bad when I eat them, though, and so I'm willing to look at cutting out the rice and wheat. I didn't think, about this time last year, that I would successfully adopt the Juicing lifestyle, but I have.
Join the Reboot, people! I juiced fruits and vegetables for 60 days and lost 55 lbs. Just finished a week of fruits and vegetables and am now eating chicken or turkey. I cook with fresh ingredients and stay away from breads and heavy white starches.
So far, the weight has stayed off and my family is eating as healthy as ever. After my doc appt. and lab work next week I hope to start another 60 day Reboot. Obesity is most often a choice just as eating healthy is a choice.
Just dropped 15 lbs. I put on since turning 40 15 years ago. Now back to pre age 40 weight which is basically high school college weight.
Along the way I noticed something. Losing weight was hard *until* I neared my (self-set) ideal weight.
When I reached that weight I noticed that losing any more weight wasn't hard anymore. It was like some kind of switch got flipped.
Just like they say "the rich get richer" I'm starting to think that "the fat get fatter". The fatter you get the more you crave those unhealthy foods in unhealthy quantities. And when the weight comes off you don't.
If this is true then this should help devise optimal weight loss strategies and also explain why we're in an "epidemic" - basically an unstable equilibrium like we see in other fields.
I know one thing for sure - I don't get enough protein. I have to force it.
Just shut up Mookie!
If you are into blenders- just add some protein powder to your smoothies. It's a great meal replacement. I think that snacks are my biggest problem. I never thought about it, until I was telling my son about how differently we ate when I was a kid, mostly because there was no alcohol in our home and little money for snacks. We never ate between meals, no chips and dip, no cheese and crackers, not even pretzels. But we did have desserts after dinner. I weighed 95lbs when I graduated from high school.
So that's all you had was the juice, all day long? I drink my vegetable juice every day, but I haven't lost any weight, I suppose because I still have been eating dinner. I'm starting to realize, though, that my addiction to carbos is just that - an addiction. Every night I have such brave hopes not to carbo load, and then I lay down for 45 minutes and pop up out of bed and head for the fridge, all my plans out the window in the early sleep state.

Every night I have such brave hopes not to carbo load, and then I lay down for 45 minutes and pop up out of bed and head for the fridge, all my plans out the window in the early sleep state.
Watch the movie, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead." It's all about juicing. I just had vegetable and fruit juices for 60 days. All day, every day. Not smoothies, but juice. It gives you all of the nutrition that you need while expending all of your digestive energy on burning fat. I am not a nutritionist or doctor, but just an average fat Joe that needed to turn my life around.
I AM someone who has tried nearly every diet I could think of. This is the only diet that has actually worked while encouraging not just myself, but my whole family to eat more fruits and vegetables and to "think health." I haven't had junk food or fast food in almost 3 full months. I walk 3.6 miles at least 4-5 days a week. Staying healthy and active is now a lifestyle for me and my family.
As far as meals go, I cook with mostly vegetables and poultry. I'm not going extreme vegan, but have just learned to limit my excessive meat intake. I have cut out most white carbs, like bread, rice and potatoes. If I do have a bread or grain, it's brown rice, couscous or whole grain pita/flat bread, and then only in limited amounts.
If I am going out and likely to get MSG in my food I take several L taurine capsules. It seems that the body puts out the opposite of an amino acid, which counters it, if it detects it is getting too much of it. The opposite of glutamine for the body seems to be L taurine. I can get so sick that I feel like I could be dying for days if I get too much MSG. Taking L taurine can go pretty far neutralizing the effects of it, as long as I am not getting loads and loads of MSG, and then I will get sick, but not as sick as if I didn't take the L taurine at all. I try to always have some L taurine along with me in my purse. A fellow might want to keep a few in a plastic bag in his pocket. It is pretty inexpensive, but it must be L taurine and not just taurine. For those of us who are aware of how bad MSG is for us, and/or suffer when consuming it, L taurine can be tremendous blessing. Hope it helps you, too.
Also, a friendly reminder. Be careful little hand what you write. It is so popular to use "God" as an expression these days, that we can easily forget the commandment to not take the LORD's name in vain and use the name we recognize as His, God, without giving it the respect and reverence it deserves.
>Then why have I lost 18 pounds since I cut wheat and some other carbs out of my diet?<
Is it because you no longer have spikes in blood sugar since you've eliminated a huge source of carbohydrate, not to mention you've cut your cravings for starchy stuff way down? Oh, and you've significantly reduced your risk of celiac disease because the gliadin in wheat has been eliminated from your diet?
Sounds like you know the drill. Oh, and now it's 22.5 pounds.
>Sounds like you know the drill. Oh, and now its 22.5 pounds.<
I've lost a bunch of weight since I cut out bread and starchy junk. But most of all, my blood pressure is normal and I no longer have to take medication for it.
I wanted to add protein powder, but they're all flavored, and I don't think vanilla or chocolate would go with my vegetable juice very well. So I'm having the protein with milk later in the day.
But that'll just make things worse - the fracking communists will call everybody over x pounds a bourgeois pig, stealing food out of the mouths of the noble proletariat to stuff down their insatiable maw. In fact, I wonder if it wasn't just this sentiment, back in the bad old days of the 30s, that got everybody concerned about weight in the first place.
Thanks, I've been juicing for almost a year now, and love it, never want to stop, but haven't gotten the weightloss results because I didn't go through the fast. Which I guess I need to do, eh.
p.s. that movie changed my life.
Thank you, I will try that. I think I have a bad problem with it, and it only started about 20 years ago - suddenly I realized that my lethargy after the chinese buffet at noontime was far more than just being overly full.
I can't do the juice fast for more than about 1 meal, but I am thinking long-term. I once made almost 20 hrs, but I'd need more time for a longer duration. I do skip meals, like lunch or super and just juice, down 6 lbs and that's great for during a school year. I started out with carrots, celery, ginger root and apple, but budget(time and money) now I cut down to celery, cucumber, jalapeno; except on week-ends I try different things.
See, that's me too. I have a couple of mugs a day - 32 oz mugs but they have ice in them - and that's about all I want to contemplate of the mean green for the day. Actually mine is mean pus-colored, because I put beets off in there and that's what it comes out looking like. Tastes great though! Tastes Great Less Filling Tastes Great.
Oh, one other point on that weight loss from the juice lady;
"Just as acids are stored in fat cells, so are toxins, which are acidic. Vegetable juices are very alkaline, so they help your body balance pH. That helps you lose weight. As you detoxify your body with colon, liver and gallbladder cleansing, along with lots of fresh vegetable juices, youll notice the weight melting away. Get into a sauna or do aerobic exercises that make you sweat. Sweating is about the only way to get rid of plastic toxins."
I wanted to search back to this thread so that I could say that I stopped consuming starches and grains a week ago and I've lost over 13 pounds. Some may say, that's mostly water weight, but I say the water weight was necessary for the extra metabolic processing required by the massive loads of carbo. And I'm not going back.
Yes, I would agree. 13 pounds is amazing! I struggle to get 1 lb off in a week of skipping suppers, but I am having carbs too. I think at a certain point the body realizes it has some fat cells and no longer needs the same water balance.
And bravo to the 'not going back', same here. I am running(actually doing wind sprints) at least once a week, and I go through a light-weight high rep major muscle group work out, it takes about 35 minutes, and I don't worry so much about the smaller muscles because they will be used some and won't fall far behind. It also will maximize the circulation, thus discarding more waste.
Here's a couple of links if you are interested;
The 7 Main Muscle Groups
Here Are The 11 Major Muscle Groups And
Why You Need To Focus On All Of Them
Ugh... feeling a little weak and woozy now... it comes and goes.
Yeah, forgot to mention the appetite goes up when you start working out too, so do be careful.
Oh what a weekend. It was weak and woozy for a while, then major cramps in arms, legs, ribs, etc. Then explosive elimination. Then a major MSG poisoning. Today and yesterday, I'm feeling pretty good.
I got the L Taurine - it seems to be having a dramatic, beneficial effect.
Wow, an extended juice fast? You've reminded me of some of the side effects too, I think what I felt has something to do with the body expelling toxins. I remember having a weird ache in my gut somewhere too, I think it may have been the gallbladder or liver, it did go away after a couple of weeks. I did 3X a day for 3 months to start, now it's just once or twice a day. I let you research that here's a link to get started;
Juice Fast Side Effects
I had what it calls "worsening body odor," but I take issue with the term. I have noticed, since the fast started, that I am producing a distinctive, but not altogether unpleasant scent. I think it is scented by the juice and thus has some vegetable and citrus notes. It is strong - I can take a shower and within 15 minutes be able to note the scent again. I kind of like it - I feel it's my animal scent - my unique, individual perfume - irreproducible, mine.
Now, I understand that my neighbor might not appreciate my sticking my armpit under her nose and saying 'smell!', but I should hate to have to think that it is purely an odor of toxins as they are emitted.

I've searched the site thoroughly and Googled for this as well, but to no avail.
I use Apache2 + PHP on my Mac OS X.
I haven't changed much of the configuration on any of them, just enough to get everything working correctly.
Here's my
.htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes
RewriteBase /~milad/mysite/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?:url [L,QSA] #Handling tail with no parameters
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*?)$ index.php?:url=$1 [L,QSA]
This works just fine for all the files located at
But I want to make my
.htaccess file independent of my installation's particulars, i.e., I don't want to have to include the
RewriteBase ... line in my code.
But when I remove that line, Apache tries to map it to a URL which I don't understand. What I get is:
Not Found
The requested URL /Users/milad/Sites/newave/index.php was not found on this server.
which is just ridiculous, because the
index.php file is JUST where that URI is pointing to.
Anyway, when I try to rewrite to
/index.php instead of
index.php, I find that it is being rewritten to
http://localhost/index.php. So how is it that I can't use just the relative path, or just use
./index.php (Yes, I've tried that, too).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Adidas websites go offline after security breach
Pulled the plug to protect consumers
SPORTS EQUIPMENT MAKER Adidas took some of its websites offline after a security breach.
Adidas said it became aware of a "sophisticated, criminal cyber-attack" on its various web sites on 3 November but the firm claimed it found no evidence that customers' data had been stolen. Instead, Adidas said it took the web sites offline to protect its users.
Adidas issued a statement saying that it took the websites affected - adidas.com, reebok.com, micoach.com, adidas-group.com and various Ecommerce shops - offline as it undertakes a "thorough forensic review".
Since Adidas uncovered the attack, it claims to have put in place additional security measures. The firm added, "nothing is more important to us than the privacy and security of our consumers' personal data".
While Adidas said that its preliminary investigation did not find any evidence of a data breach, that still leaves open the possibility that the attackers were simply better than average at covering their tracks. Adidas' customers who have personal information stored on the firm's servers will be eager to know what happened.
Adidas has since started to bring its various websites back online. µ

Man accused of charging up stairs at policeJune 12,2013Man denies charging police
BENNINGTON A Benmont Avenue man is facing a criminal charge after police said he attempted to push by two officers while arguing with a woman.
Justin J. Chaplin, 27, of Bennington, pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. He was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Officer David Faden of the Bennington Police Department said he was dispatched to a Main Street home around 8:30 p.m. May 29 because a man was trying to enter an apartment.
Faden said when he reached the area, he found that Cpl. Andy Hunt, also of the Bennington Police Department, was telling Chaplin to go home. Chaplin was on the second floor of the home, carrying a bicycle.
Faden said Chaplin agreed to leave and police went to the second floor to speak with the woman who had called to report the incident. However, as soon as the woman opened the door, Chaplin dropped the bicycle and began running back up the stairs.
Faden said he and Hunt stopped Chaplin and brought him downstairs. When Chaplin wouldnt leave, after being reportedly told by police to go home, he was forced to the ground and then handcuffed, Faden said.
According to Faden, Chaplin was taken to the Rutland jail and held until sober.

I talked to the previous owner of this Tacoma and gave Oracle Ford and Crissa an A+++ also. I would not hesitate to recommend Oracle Ford to anyone."

Engine Mechanical problem
2001 Chrysler Concorde Front Wheel Drive 91,000 miles
I was just told that I have to replace the engine on my 2001 Chrysler Concorde. I was given a quote of $2800.00 for parts and labor. Is this a reasonable amount?
