Ying is punctual, pleasant, has good English (making logical explanation of Chinese nuances simpler). Also, very intelligent. It was my first lesson, so I cannot be more specific, but these are all important characteristics to an adult like myself who really has no time for tardy, immature tutors
So far so good!!

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- The Cavaliers returned to practice on Monday night at Cleveland Clinic Courts, but the real question is: Where do they go from here?
The confetti had barely settled after last Wednesday's home upset of the Lakers when Cavs General Manager Chris Grant started getting messages from fans worried the team would win too many games and ruin its odds of winning the most chances for the No. 1 lottery pick.
Here's a team that just set the NBA record for consecutive losses (26) and now fans are worried about too many victories?
It remains to be seen whether the victory was an aberration or an actual turning point. In the four games before the All-Star break, the Cavs beat the Clippers in overtime and the Lakers, but couldn't be bothered in losses to the visiting Pistons and Wizards. The only constant this season has been their absolute lack of consistency.
From owner Dan Gilbert on down, the organization is dedicated to improving in the short and long term. Does that mean a rash of trades before Thursday's 3 p.m. deadline? Probably not -- although it won't be for lack of trying.
The Cavs have been working the phones, but are not interested in a quick fix -- not that there's even one available. Rather, they hope to acquire help and build for the future. Yes, there have been calls about Antawn Jamison, Anthony Parker and Ramon Sessions, among others. But the Cavs are seeking either unprotected No. 1 draft choices or size, like Chicago's Omer Asik or Boston's Semih Erden, and teams are reluctant to give up either.
Cavaliers trade deadline assets
- Trade exception: In trading LeBron James to Miami, the Cavs received a $14.5 million trade exception, which can be used all at once or in pieces. The exception, which expires in early July, could allow the Cavs to acquire a player making up to $14.5 million this season without trading anything back, or it could be used to make up any difference in salaries between the player(s) they're acquiring and the player(s) they're trading.
- Draft choices: They have 15 picks through 2015, as follows: 2011, 1 first and 2 seconds; 2012, 1 first and 2 seconds, plus the right to flop with Miami in the first round; 2013, 2 firsts and 2 seconds; 2014, 1 first and 1 second; and 2015, 2 firsts and 1 second.
In addition to players, the Cavs have the following assets:

So it's entirely possible the trading deadline will pass without the team making a move or using the trade exception. It's not the end of the world. It would be much worse to make a bad deal just for the sake of doing something, especially when the team has worked so hard to create the flexibility it has with its existing contracts.
Standing pat does not mean the Cavs are happy with this team or the way things are going. It means they were unable to complete the sort of deal they feel would pay dividends down the road. They realize that it could take a while to turn things around, and they're determined to be patient. Remember, even after getting LeBron James with the No. 1 pick in 2003, it still took three seasons before they made the playoffs.
No matter who is on the roster for Wednesday's game against Houston or Friday against New York, coach Byron Scott has goals for his squad the rest of the way. His main focus -- as it has been for weeks -- is to improve on the defensive end.
He would like to see the opponents' field-goal percentage drop to 46 percent or lower. The Cavs held the Lakers to 42.5 percent and the Clippers to 44.8, although for the season, opponents are still shooting 47.7 percent.
To get that down is going to take a concentrated effort on each player's part.
"Our guards have to do a much better job of getting over and getting through screens," he said. "Our bigs have got to do a much better job of hard showing and getting back to their guys.
"All it comes down to is one word: Effort. That's basically what it comes down to -- that second and third effort. Telling yourself from a guard standpoint, 'I'm at the top and I know there's going to be a screen: I'm not going to get screened. I'm not going to melt on the screen. I'm going to get through the screen.' That's the initiator of the defense right there. You're the first line of defense. You have to take a lot more pride in that.
"Sometimes you have to run guys over. We've seen it in games where our guards get through it. Then we've seen it like Washington, where we don't.
"So when we say, 'Get our field-goal percentage down,' yeah, there's an A, B, C and there's probably a D and E as well. But it starts right there. The point of attack starts with the point guards -- or sometimes it starts with the two guards -- and they've got to do a better job. Then it comes down to the bigs doing a better job. Then it comes down to guys being back. Then it comes down to rebounding the ball."
If better defense leads to a better record, the Cavs will deal with it. After all, getting better is the whole point, isn't it?
Practice notes: Ryan Hollins and Jamario Moon were fined an undisclosed amount for being late for practice Monday night. ... Mo Williams, who tweaked his right ankle against the Lakers last Wednesday, did not practice and is questionable for Wednesday's game against Houston.

Official Youtube App for WP8 Gets the Overhaul Treatment
Next in line to get the complete overhaul with new features and redesigned look is the official Youtube app for WP8, this coming about a week of the release of the all new Facebook Beta app. The new youtube app adds a bunch of new features (that were honestly quite needed, metrotube has been my go to app for a while now)
What's new? Lots. The app now lets you pin videos, channels, playlists and search results right to your Start Screen. A new and innovative playlist design gives you easy access to videos using a touch-friendly filmstrip. Your YouTube profile, playlists, uploads, video lists are easier to manage. And there's no need to worry about the little ones viewing content you don't approve of, since you can now pin YouTube to Kid's Corner and limit content based on YouTube Safety Mode settings you configure.Advertisements
Somewhat relevant, Joe Belfiore was asking on twitter today which app you think needs another overhaul (besides Facebook and Youtube obviously- plus I think Foursquare just got a refresh); for me it would be whatsapp (Which I know is on th sway) but I'd love to see some deeper integration, preferably like Facebook chat in the messaging hub:
Survey: with FB Beta now out, which CURRENT big-name #WP app do you think is most in need of a significant update?thx!

NEW ULM - Eleven consecutive victories.
Class AA, No. 8-ranked Fairmont erupted for 11 runs in the top of the seventh inning to engineer a 14-3 South Central Conference baseball victory over Class AA, No. 6-ranked New Ulm on Monday.
The visiting Cardinals avenged their only loss of the season - a 3-1 Eagles' win on April 10 at Herb Wolf Field in Fairmont.

"The first run is always the hardest, and once we broke the ice, things snowballed from there today," Fairmont mentor Todd Sukalski said in reference to his potent batting order's three-run top of the fourth inning at Johnson Park in New Ulm.
Trailing 1-0, Luke Becker hammered a one-out triple off of New Ulm right-hander Chase Meyer to trigger Fairmont's offensive outburst in the fourth. Jay Ruen lined an RBI single to plate Becker with the tying run before teammate Tyler Tennyson followed suit with a single to put Cardinal runners on first and second.
Nathan Gillis delivered an RBI single down the line that plated Ruen before Tennyson crossed the plate via an Eagles' miscue to swing a 3-1 edge to the Cardinals.
Becker and Meyer continued their pitchers' duel through six completed innings before Parker Monsen led off the top of the seventh inning with a double.
Meyer notched two outs and appeared to thwart Fairmont's late threat, but Spencer Chirpich produced an RBI single to extend the visitors' lead to 4-1. Chirpich's single triggered a string of 11 consecutive Cardinals to reach base, including nine of the red-and-white's 10 hits during the seventh.
Chirpich, Jack Waletich, Becker, Ruen, Tennyson and Gillis each collected two of Fairmont's 14 hits on the key SCC and Section 3AA clash.
Chirpich doubled, collected three RBIs and scored two runs; Waletich doubled in a run and crossed the plate once; Becker doubled and tripled en route to two RBIs to go with two runs scored.
Ruen and Tennyson each scored twice, with Ruen collecting two RBIs and Tennyson one. Gillis scored once and had one RBI, Monsen went 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored, Ben Abel supplied a two-run single and scored once, while Cole Emler drew two walks.
Becker allowed three runs on seven hits, struck out four, walked two and hit one batter in seven innings of work to earn the complete-game victory for the Cardinals.
Meyer allowed six runs on seven hits, struck out three, walked one and hit one batter in 6 2/3 innings to take the loss for the Eagles.
New Ulm reliever Tyler Dittrich gave up eight runs - only one earned - on six hits, walked two and hit one batter while not recording an out in the seventh. Jackson Yackley gave up one hit in closing out the final 1/3 of an inning.
Judd Davis doubled home a run for the Eagles, Grant Kannegiesser went 1-for-4 with one RBI, while Meyer chipped in an RBI single.
Fairmont (11-1, 4-1 SCC) travels to St. James for another key conference clash at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
New Ulm (9-2, 2-1) travels to Waseca today for another league clash.

Nate Johnson collected a single for the Cardinals, while Ryan Brooks generated the team's only RBI.
Johnson allowed 13 runs - only five earned - on eight hits in four innings pitched.
Martin Luther/GHEC/Truman 3, Lyle/Austin Pacelli 1 - The Knights combined five hits with six Athletics' error to post a 3-1 Valley Conference victory on Monday in Austin.
Josh Wolter and Sam Geistfeld each supplied RBI singles for the Knights, Tristan Maday doubled and scored a run, while Colton Greiner added a hit and two runs scored.
Trent Stensland allowed one run on five hits, struck out four and walked two in 4 1/3 innings worked to earn the victory for the Knights.
Geistfeld allowed three hits in 2 2/3 scoreless innings of relief to earn the save. Geistfeld struck out four and did not issue a walk.
Jordan Hart, Matt Kasel, Kevin Juenger and Jordan Cotter each produced two hits for the A's.
Sophomore starter Daniel Bollingberg allowed three runs - just one earned - on five hits, recorded nine strikeouts and issued one walk in seven innings of work to absorb the loss for Lyle/Pacelli.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama — Perhaps it seemed easy, but Cyrus Kouandjio said his decision to leave Alabama a year early for the NFL draft was anything but.
The left tackle with a first-round projection explained his methodical approach making the final decision. Kouandjio was one of four Alabama players who on Thursday announced they'd leave early along with HaHa Clinton-Dix, Jeoffrey Pagan and Adrian Hubbard.Kouandjio said there were moments when he was leaning towards returning for one final season.
"There's a lot for me to do here (that) I feel I haven't done," Kouandjio said. "It hurts me. It's like poison in my veins to know I could finish off the year better and I felt as if we had unfinished business. I felt as if we needed to reclaim order in the SEC, but I had to use my logic and my reason."
That meant looking at the decision from a scientific perspective. The final call was made Wednesday, and though his draft forecast from the NFL came back with a first-round grade, he said that wasn't the only factor.
"I made a weighted average list where I had a list of things that were important to me and have a percent next to it and from 1-10 ... stuff like that," Kouandjio said. "I had a lot of things, just took a lot of notes, and just talked to my family. That was the meat of it. Just talking to my family and seeing what they think.
"We thought the best decision for me was opening up another book of my life and entering the NFL draft."
He said several times that he had to leave emotion out of the decision, but there's plenty of it in this case. Kouandjio will leave behind older brother Arie Kouandjio, his neighbor on the offensive line last season.
He paused and took a deep breath after being asked about that factor.
"Yes, that's probably the toughest part to be honest with you," Cyrus Kouandjio said.
It probably won't hit until camp, he said, but the two had an emotional discussion about the decision after it was made.
Cyrus Kouandjio was a consensus All-American in his second season as a starter.

RE: Replacing a 105L Hyper
Hey... some very interesting and finely detailed discussions going on here. Good stuff. It's a very fine line between each perspective, and (strange enough) almost everyone above is correct in their own points.
In summary, one of the key differences remaining "open" is the choice of an ideal board (or quiver) for "slalom" c /w "speed" (in this case, GPS speed). Although basically the same thing, when it comes to the super fine levels of discussion here, we need to note (at least) 2 key factors : 1> Optimal "Slalom" board usually includes a higher % of choice weighting for range/accel/jibe/handling as well as potential (relative) upwind ability (esp in more marginal conditions for this board choice) - while with "speed" pretty much only Vmax (top end speed) potential counts and all other practical factors go back a long way in the ratings (noting in typical GPS speed use nothing counts as much as how fast in sheer top speed you can get that board going for 10 seconds) ...and 2> as GEM correctly identified, if speedchaser is using this (new) board in gusty, patchy (even if windy) inland lake conditions, then again the "optimal" choice can be (should be) correctly varied (from "typical" ) when considering variables down to the level of detail we are here.
Depending on your %focus on GPS speed (c/w lighter wind slalom racing - and note as opposed to lighter wind "slalom" B&F or drag racing, where accel and "upwind" matter less), I'd be siding more towards iS94 as geo and SteveC, BUT the weighting of GEM's point about speedchaser's gusty, patchy conditions can easily tip the very tight decision in favor if iS101.

I used to have that feeling after eating pancakes, even if there were eggs involved. I finally quit eating them because I hated the feeling and it just wasn't worth it. That was my first inkling that a huge carb meal did not agree with my body.
Hi again
So since I was in my late teens, I've had this weird "hungry" feeling after I eat certain non primal meals. It usually starts very soon after finishing the meal and lasts about a half hour. The meals it usually happens with are speghetti with meat sauce (spaghetti sauce with ground beef), as well as stir fry (white rice, typical stir fry veggies, meat chunks. I never understood why I would get this "hungry" feeling. It doesn't happen when I have meat, veggies, and a side of noodles (sidekicks) or a side of potatoes.
Does anyone know what this "hungry" feeling is and what causes it? I don't plan on eating these types of meals now that hubby and I are making the full switch to primal living, but I am curious as to what was causing it.
Thanks in advance!

"Decide what to be, and go be it."
Yah, it always told me that something was up with my sugars or insulin or something metabolic like that. I just found it really odd that it always happened with the same carbs, which were always paired with protein. I should have experimented with spaghetti without meat, lol... then I would have known if it was the protein and carbs or just the carbs. I tried to explain the feeling to a few people and no one knew what I was talking about. I strongly suspect I had insulin resistance (PCOS), so maybe they didn't feel it because they weren't resistant??? I dont know, lol.
Thanks for your reply!

Most likely due to an insulin response while being insulin resistant. Before primal I would eat a huge meal with half of the plate being white rice and almost immediately afterwards I'd crave something sweet, like a pint of ice cream. I'd also get this black hole in my stomach anytime I had a bowl of Special K for breakfast. Check this link out.
Why You Got Fat - YouTube
Thanks for the link, I watched "Fat Head" the other day (where the youtube clip is from), which really helped my husband and I understand the role of insulin and what excess carbs do. We also recently watched "Sugar, the bitter truth", which was also really eye opening.
I guess what I'm not understanding is why it was stir fry or spaghetti, when I used to always eat a side of carb with dinner (which was almost always meat, veggie, statch).... I guess looking at it now, it's because with spaghetti or stir fry, the portion of carbs is about 50%, where as usual dinner carb load was about 30%.... But what I still don't get is why I could eat, say pancakes, without this hungry feeling... it was only ever stir fry or spaghetti, lol.
JI actually talked to a couple of dietitians about this because I couldn't understand why it would happen even with a couple of eggs on the side...no obvious explanation. I just know to avoid that meal now, which used to suck because I loved pancakes but now I'm reconciled to avoiding carbs in order to stay healthy.

"Decide what to be, and go be it."
Wow, I'm a bit surprised even a dietician couldn't explain it. Thanks for your continued input, I appreciate it.
What did you put on the stir fry? Was there MSG in it? In the spaghetti sauce? Apparently it is in everything created by industry and sometimes is called "hydrolized vegetable protein".
I have felt hungry after eating egg breakfasts in restaurants, the kind where you get a side of home fries and some toast and fruit. It's a weird hunger. That is why I've always thought I just can't eat a high-protein breakfast of eggs and have always eaten a sweet breakfast of muffins or bagels instead. Turned out if I do the eggs and meat without any of the carby stuff AT ALL, I am free from hunger all day long.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
With the stir fry, I would use frozen veggies and I would often put teriaki sauce on top (from a jar, sold near the bbq sauces at the grocery store). So full of sugar, unsure if there was msg... I'd hope not, lol.
I also am not sure if there was msg in the spaghetti sauce, I again would hope not, but it was store bought... I usually bought "healthy choice", which had a bunch of veggie chunks in it.
It is a weird hungry feeling... not exactly like hungry, but very close. It also is a bit of an empty feeling, I feel it sorta in my esophogus... it's so weird.
I too can be full from much of the day with a large enough, protein only egg breakfast. I love that cause I'm not one for eating tons of times a day, so to know that it's ok now to not eat the 5-6 small meals CW suggest for weight loss, but to eat when hungry is a great thing for me... though I will make sure to not wait till I'm starving, because then I tend to crave stuff I shouldn't be eating.

COPPER HARBOR - A worldwide event will find a local home Saturday at Hunter's Point in Copper Harbor.
The Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk, a social photography event, is entering its fifth year, and organizer John Dodge decided it would make a good addition to the fall schedule in the Copper Country.
"It's a worldwide event that started five years ago and has really grown," Dodge said. "This year they're set to have about 1,200 walks and about 23,000 people."
All are welcome, from photographers with professional cameras to casual photographers with iPhones or point-and-shoot cameras. The event is free; all people have to do is sign up.
"We just go out and take pictures, usually for about two to two and a half hours," Dodge said. "Then we usually select a restaurant afterward and have a chance to talk and share photos."
Following dinner, attendees are invited to upload their best shot. The walk leader will then select a winner, who will receive a digital copy of Worldwide Photo Walk organizer Scott Kelby's book, "Lightroom 4 Book for Digital Photographers" as a prize. There will also be an overall winner, along with a people's choice award and prizes for top-10 finalists.
In addition to selecting the winning photo, the walk leader - who will be a team of Dodge and local outdoor photographer Steve Brimm - will be available to answer photography questions. At 4 p.m., Brimm and Dodge will lead photographers on a walk starting at the parking area of Hunter's Poing, and the event may migrate over to the top of Brockway Mountain for sunset photos as well. The night will end at Mariner North.
Attendees are advised to bring water and possibly a snack. It is also recommended to wear warm, dry clothes and sturdy shoes or boots. To sign up, visit tinyurl.com/copperharborwalk.

S. J. Bus (IfA, UH), R. P. Binzel (MIT), E. L. Volquardsen (IfA, UH), J. L. Berghuis (UH-Hilo)
We present preliminary results from an ongoing near-infrared spectroscopic survey of silicate-rich asteroids. The goals of this survey are to sample the full range of silicate mineralogies present in the main belt for asteroids with diameters larger than 5 km, and to map the distributions of these mineralogies as functions of orbital elements. Results from this work will help place constraints on conditions in the inner solar system during proto-planetary formation, and on the degree of heating/differentiation that occurred in the asteroid belt.
The largest class of silicate-rich asteroids is the S-types. Members of this class have spectra containing diagnostic absorption bands centered near 1- and 2-microns. Variations in these bands are indicative of a wide range in pyroxene/olivine compositions (i.e. Gaffey et al. 1993, Icarus 106, 573). Our study of the S-type asteroids combines visible-wavelength spectra from the SMASSII survey (Bus and Binzel 2002, Icarus 158, 106) with high S/N near-IR (0.8 - 2.5 micron) spectra that are being obtained with SpeX (Rayner et al. 2003, PASP 115, 362) at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility. The analysis presented here uses both band-parameter measurements (Cloutis et al. 1986, JGR 91, 11641) and principal component analysis (PCA) to group the S-type asteroids into sub-classes based on their spectral properties and inferred compositions. Based on our present sample of over 150 asteroids, we examine the distributions of these groupings as functions of orbital semi-major axis, eccentricity and inclination. Our goal is to determine the amount of spectral variation present among members of several dynamical families, and to look for larger-scale trends in olivine/pyroxene composition with heliocentric distance that may provide clues about heating across the early asteroid belt.

Matrix Games/Slitherine News Release
For Immediate Release
Arlington , VT , December 12 th, 2011 – Matrix Games ( www.matrixgames.com ), Slitherine ( www.slitherine.com), and VR Designs ( www.vrdesigns.nl) are happy to announce the release of the comprehensive 1.04i update for Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris. The update includes fixes for a number of rare bugs and a few other issues reported by the community.
About Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris
The development team behind the award-winning game Advanced Tactics: World War II is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive early days of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris is the first in an innovative series of operational World War II wargames that also include a strategic element. The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris simulates Germany 's military successes in Poland and France in 1939 and 1940 (including also a hypothetical "Sea Lion" invasion of Great Britain if you do well enough).
Well researched and packed with depth, including detailed unit data down to the squad and vehicle level and historically realistic combined arms gameplay, The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris also features an easy-to-learn interface and a ferocious AI. Before each campaign, players choose actions and options at a strategic level which can have far-reaching effects on how the actual battle unfolds, with many plausible hypothetical outcomes.
Once in the battle, players move regiments and divisions, coordinate attacks and manage logistics in what we feel is the definitive game on the campaigns of the early Blitzkrieg. There are also unique actions for individual historical generals to give a particular objective or front the extra needed push to victory. Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris also includes a unique multiplayer feature where players can split up Axis or Allied armies between several people to add an added level of realism and cooperation!
Get the update here. The update is comprehensive and will bring all previous versions of Decisive Campaigns – The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris to version 1.04i. Get more information on Decisive Campaigns – The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris from its official product page.

Abstract: In the title compound, C12H10BrClN2O2S, the sulfonamide group adopts a staggered conformation about the N-S bond [the C-S-N-H torsion angle is 97 (3)°] with the N-atom lone pair bisecting the O=S=O angle. For the C(Ar)-S bond, the ortho-substituted C atom bisects one of O=S-N angles [the C-C-S-N torsion angle is -57.7 (3)°]. The mean planes of the aromatic rings form a dihedral angle of 75.1 (1)°. In the crystal, molecules form inversion dimers through pairs of N-HNH2 hydrogen bonds. The molecules are further consolidated into layers along the bc plane by weaker N-HO interactions.

Frankenfish is a 2004 American monster movie dealing with genetically engineered fish in the bayou. The film was based on the snakehead fish incident in a Crofton, Maryland, pond. It is one of three movies based on the incident, the others being Snakehead Terror and Swarm of the Snakehead. Franken fish was filmed in Baldwin County Alabama.
Medical examiner Sam Rivers and biologist Mary Callahan travel into the bayou to investigate the mysterious death of a fisherman. Having grown up in the area, Sam is comfortable in his surroundings while Mary is not. They find Elmer noodling for catfish in the swamp canals. With Elmer, Sam and Mary travel up river to the fishing community. They meet Gloria, the wife of the deceased fisherman. Gloria's daughter Eliza and her semi-boyfriend Dan also live in the house. Gloria explains that a boat washed up river a few months ago and strange things have happened since.
Sam and Mary find the boat along the bank of a canal. They explore the interior while Elmer waits in the canoe outside. They discover the remains of the crew in the hold. Upset, Mary clumsily knocks Elmer from the canoe and something drags him down. Sam and Mary flee in the canoe, unaware that they have triggered a homing signal on the ship. On the mainland a team relays the information to their employer a wealthy bounty hunter.
One of the villagers heard noises while on his porch. He leans over the edge and a frankenfish leaps up and decapitates him. His girlfriend attempts to escape the houseboat on a canoe but the fish flips her out and kills her. Frightened, the group tries to flee in boats but the fish destroys them. On a neighboring stilt house, Ricardo baits a large hook using an entire catfish and manages to land one of the frankenfish. Nearly as big as a full-grown man, the fish can breathe air and hops forward biting at Ricardo's legs. Ricardo manages to kill it with a shotgun blast to the head. In vengeance he tears out its heart and barbecues it. As he takes his first bite a second frankenfish leaps from the water and devours him.
While everyone panics, Mary declares she has an idea on how to get off the boathouse. Before she can explain a shotgun, left in the still-burning fire from the barbecue, shoots her. The same fire propels a propane tank into the boathouse causing an explosion that sends Eliza into the water. Sam dives in and rescues her at the same time a frankenfish leaps from the water and bites off Gloria's legs. The fish have begun attacking the boathouses, punching holes in them to make them sink.
The bounty hunter and his crew arrive and the fish attack them too. Knocked out of the boat, they swim quickly to the safety of the sinking stilt houses. The hunter explains that the fish are genetically engineered snakeheads. Sam, Eliza and Dan have no choice but to join the hunter in pursuing the fish.
The crew follows a trail of blood back to the fish's den. The hunter forces Sam at gunpoint to enter first. Sam flees the den as behind him a frankenfish kills two hunters. Dan, Sam and Eliza quickly leave on the fan boat, chased by the frankenfish. Dan falls from the boat during the chase but scrambles up a mudbank. Realizing they cannot outrace the monster, Sam drives the fanboat up a stand of tree stumps and knocks off the protective lining of the fan. Unable to slow its momentum, the frankenfish launches into the whirling blades to its death. Sam and Eliza kiss and go back the way they came to get Dan. However, Dan is trapped in the mud as dozens of baby frankenfish attack him.

"He was a power guy, threw really hard," said Swisher, a member of the Oakland A's when Pineiro was trying to overpower hitters with the Seattle Mariners.
But the old book on Pineiro no longer applies. Under Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan, who boasts a long track record of reclamation projects, Pineiro refined his sinker into a career-altering pitch. Then he parlayed it into 15 victories and a 3.49 ERA with St. Louis last summer and a free-agent contract with the Angels before this season.
"Until you see it," Teixeira said of Pineiro's change, "you can't appreciate it."
After Pineiro suffocated the Yankees on Wednesday, allowing just one run in seven innings, the Yankees walked away with plenty of appreciation.
Pineiro lived up to his billing as an extreme ground-ball pitcher, as 11 of the outs he recorded came on the ground.
"He did what he usually does," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "He was really good."
Of course, "the usual" for Pineiro was far different last season than it had been at any other point in his career, which is why there has been a healthy dose of skepticism surrounding whether he can replicate the feat.
"I think it's something every pitcher wants," Pineiro said. "You don't want to be a one-year guy. They want to be out there doing it on a daily basis, every year."
Pineiro was outstanding in his first two full seasons in the majors with the Mariners, winning a combined 30 games in 2002-03. But starting in 2004, he began a steady three-year decline that led to the Mariners not offering him a contract.
The Red Sox signed Pineiro as a free agent in 2007. By mid-July he was in the minors. A few weeks later he was traded to the Cardinals in exchange for only a minor-league outfielder.
Duncan approached Pineiro about relying on his sinker at the end of 2008 and again early in spring training in 2009. Though it was a pitch Pineiro always had — "never used it though, I didn't think I needed it" — Pineiro wasn't sold on making it his primary weapon.
From his earliest bullpen sessions in spring training, Pineiro said the difference was noticeable: ground-ball outs, quick innings, deeper outings.
Pineiro amassed a career-high 214 innings in '09 for the Cardinals, but the more subtle numbers from his career-best season were more impressive. He walked only 1.1 batters per nine innings. His ground-ball-to-fly-ball ratio (2.54) and ground-ball percentage (60.5) were easily the best in baseball.
After never having come close to either figure, Pineiro was suddenly in territory reserved for ground-ball artists Derek Lowe and Brandon Webb.
"It kind of changed everything around," Pineiro said. "It revived my career."

Jazz Funeral music filled the air at 3101 St. Charles Avenue, where Mary Sherman, MD was found murdered in a grisly scene. Lead by trumpet player Clive Wilson, a small group gathered to pay tribute to the slain NOLA doctor. 50 years after the murder, the crime scene photos have been released.
The doctor was Mary Sherman, MD, an expert in cancer and radiation who taught at Tulane Medical School and worked at Ochsner Clinic. She was found murdered in her Uptown apartment on Jul. 21, 1964. Officially, her murder remains unsolved.
Mary Sherman's death is the subject of the best-selling book Dr. Mary's Monkey, which some have called "the most whispered about book in New Orleans." The book's author, Ed Haslam, maintains that Dr. Sherman was severely electrocuted at another facility in Uptown New Orleans and her badly burned body was secretly brought back to her apartment where a murder scene was faked. The subtitle of the book gives the reader a glimpse of the sprawling story that unfolds inside: How the unsolved murder of a doctor, a secret laboratory in New Orleans, and cancer-causing monkey viruses are linked to Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK assassination and emerging global epidemics. The book has become an underground classic in the Crescent City and across the country. Information about the book, hours of related videos, and the newly released crime scene photos can be found at the author's website: DoctorMarysMonkey.com. The updated 2014 hard cover edition is being released on July 21, 2014.
The press release for the event, author Edward Haslam, who just released an updated edition of his book Dr. Mary's Monkey, Haslam said: "It is time we gave her a better send-off than the vicious rumors that swarmed around her death in 1964. Here in New Orleans, the dignified way to show respect is with a jazz funeral. This is only a 'faux funeral,' but the jazz and the respect are real."
Faux Jazz funeral held for 1964 murder victim Mary Sherman

Birmingham's Medical Properties Trust Inc., a health care real estate investment trust, today said it has signed a $220 million credit line with a syndicate of banks.
The new financing package replaces a $150 million mortgage-secured deal that has a $35 million balance. It also pays off a $100 million bridge loan, the company said.
Chief Executive Edward K. Aldag Jr. said, "Completing this facility in the face of the market turmoil of recent months is a validation by some of Wall Street's leading banks of MPT's market leading position and near term growth opportunities."
The company's acquisition pipeline is as robust as it has been, Aldag said, adding "our new credit facility assures that we will be able to take advantage of these opportunities even during a period when capital is constrained for many companies."

Most of the time on 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey,' Joe Gorga is a muscled, macho guy. But every now and then, he likes to embrace his feminine side. And as Andy Cohen showed Sunday on 'Watch What Happens Live' (Sun., 11PM on Bravo), when Gorga is feeling feminine, he likes to show it off.
"We know he loves his wife," said Cohen, "but another thing Joe Gorga seems to be into, at least a little, occasionally, is puttin' on a lady dress." What followed was a montage of clips featuring Gorga in women's outfits. In one clip, Gorga preened in front of a mirror in a gold dress and spanks, trying to get his wig right. He told his wife, Melissa, "I look better than you, as a woman." Melissa couldn't bare to look at him, so maybe she thought he was right.

Whidbey teen accused of child rape
An 18-year-old Oak Harbor student accused of child rape is being tried as an adult even though he committed the alleged crime when he was just 14.
Colleen Kenimond, the Island County chief criminal prosecutor, explained that the student must be tried as an adult under state law because the victim didn't disclose the crime until the defendant was 18 years old.
Kenimond charged the young man in Island County Superior Court Aug. 12 with rape of a child in the first degree. He pleaded not guilty Aug. 25.
Oak Harbor Police Detective Mike Bailey investigated the case in April after a 12-year-old boy told a school counselor that he was afraid he might have AIDS. The boy said the suspect — a teenaged neighbor and friend of the family — forced him to perform a sex act four years ago, Bailey wrote.
Kenimond said she is negotiating with the defense attorney and she's hopeful that they can come to a resolution that's both fair and just. She said the defendant qualifies for a special program that emphasizes treatment over prison time, but she wouldn't recommend it unless the victim and the victim's family agree.
"It's a policy of our office," she said.

Just in case anyone else is having scaling issues with the new AMD (ATI) 10.8 driver, it's not just you! I'm personally having scaling issues with the new 10.8 drivers on my Toshiba 52XV545U 52" TV.
The setup I have is a 30" LCD connected via DVI and TV connected via HDMI, using a ATI HIS HD 5570. With the 10.7 driver I didn't have an issue with scaling on the TV, but with the 10.8 driver I have to reset the scaling (overscan to 0%) every time I turn the TV back on. I've tried creating profiles and nothing seems to work.
The good news is, AMD (ATI) is working on a fix :) Below is an email I received from AMD (ATI) earlier today, "I have pinged the software group and they are aware of the issue and actively working on a resolve. Delivery schedule of the solution is still pending."
I've tried enabling GPU scaling and it doesn't seem to work for me. In my case it could have something to do with the fact that I have two displays, one being a 52" TV.
At attributes ... enable GPU scaling...it works for me :)
I must say ATi (or AMD since they'll change their logo/name) have been releasing driver more often that they used to, and that's good. And they are very fast with hot fixes also, that's great, I hope the keep that up.
i just told you in the other post rod
Heh.. I was really freaking out, I automatically knew it was the new drivers as soon as I rebooted my pc >,>
I hope they fix it soon!

|Discussion of Ten-Tec Equipment <firstname.lastname@example.com>
|Fri, 17 Dec 2010 18:39:29 -0600
For the past 20 years, most of the time my main rig has been a Ten-Tec, be it Omni Vx or Orion - with an occasional short-lived exception. But my mobile rig has always been a JA rig. Now Ten-Tec has that corner of the market covered too. Well done, Ten-Tec. At this point in my forever changing life, I will move back to Germany where we have smaller homes and I will surely have a tiny little shack. I'm grateful for a small rig like the Eagle. To be honest, I had already bought a K3 for this purpose and would have been quite happy with it, but then the Eagle suddenly appeared, and after having both in the shack for one month, I sold the K3. I think the Eagle as is was the perfect niche product for Ten-Tec, considering the rest of its current product portfolio. However, if I could define my perfect rig, I would want something similar to what you described, except it doesn't have to be so big as the OM6. The size of the OM7 is big enough. I would want maximum one or two more knobs and one or two more roofing filters. But what the heck. The Eagle is great as it is! 73 Rick -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of Don Rasmussen Sent: Friday, December 17, 2010 5:58 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: [TenTec] "The End of Ten-Tec" (Yeah, Right) The only thing constant in life is the reappearance of this thread - ugh. But I have a new spin on it this year, after reading it for 10 years in a row. It has been suggested that a Chinese company has cloned the IC718 and will make that available for $450 new. It is also suggested that this will put all of the Japanese makers out of ham radio. I am pretty sure I have seen it, the HF version of those cheap Puxing jobs on the online bidsite. Of course this is nonsense. Even today, why would anyone purchase an EAGLE over an IC718 at a third of the cost? Hint - there is an actual logical and valid reason, actually many. I am a little confused, since EAGLE is the best idea of the year in my mind - a simple to operate and high performance radio, why they made it too small? If you are buying this radio as a mobile - well that's some real Grey Poupon in the car or on the bike - way to go. But if you have this little radio in your hamshack, I dont see how the novelty would not wear off, leading the operator to use something that may be lesser, but that at least you can get your hands on. If EAGLE was packaged as OMNI 6 or OMNI 7, and simplified like EAGLE has been, it would seem to be more on point for those that will use it at home. YMMV... Re: [TenTec] "The End of Ten-Tec" (Yeah, Right) from [Jim Younce] [Permanent Link][Original] To: "Discussion of Ten-Tec Equipment" <firstname.lastname@example.com> Subject: Re: [TenTec] "The End of Ten-Tec" (Yeah, Right) From: "Jim Younce" <firstname.lastname@example.com> Reply-to: Discussion of Ten-Tec Equipment <firstname.lastname@example.com> Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2010 16:17:29 -0600 List-post: <firstname.lastname@example.com">mailto:email@example.com> I doubt that Ten-Tec is about to close the doors. It is a fact that the amateur market is only a small percentage of the company's business. Their biggest volume is the manufacture of tools & dies and metal boxes for electronic OEM manufactures. The amateur business was a labor of love for Al Cohn and Jack Birtchfield. When Al sold Electro-Voice and bought Ten-Tec a tool and die manufacture they decided to build a ham transceiver. Al has since become a silent key and I am sure Jack is ready for retirement or already has retired. Both were great gentlemen to do business with and to talk to on the air. However, I am old enough to remember when National Radio, Hallicrafters, Drake, Regency, Multi-Elmac, Gonset, Central Electronics, Swan Electronics, Atlas Radio, Harvey Wells, Morrow Radio, Clegg Laboratories, Webster Bandspanner, Walter Ashe, Technical Material Corp., Barker and Williamson, Peterson Radio, James Millen, Hammurland, EF Johnson, Heathkit, World Radio Labs, Knight, Lafayette, Eico, Ameco, Hornet Antennas, RME Receivers, Master Mobile Antennas, Collins, and several other American ham radio manufactures were major players in the manufacture and sales of ham radio gear. Now we are down to two, Ten-Tec and MFJ. Some of the exodus was caused but the failure of engineering departments to keep up with single sideband technology but a great deal of them fell from the Asian manufacture competetion. 73 Jim Yoiunce K4ZM _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec

Most vacant housing here is vacant year round. This could either signal that there is weak demand for real estate in the neighborhood or that large amount of new housing has been built and not yet occupied. Either way, if you live here, you may find many of the homes or apartments are empty.

"Up Goer Five," the cartoon's name for the big moon rocket, is a description of the Saturn V using only the 1,000 most common words in the English language. From "the part that falls off first" to the "part that flies down to the other world with two people inside," the illustration's descriptions will amuse ordinary citizens. NASA people, of course, will feel a powerful urge to populate the image with a few good acronyms.
As funny as the cartoon is -- and it is funny -- it does suggest that NASA knew what it was doing when it decided to use precise technical language for its rockets. "Nozzle" may not be the most fun word in the dictionary, but it does seem superior to "fire comes out here."
Of course, it's a long way from "nozzle" to "Commercial Crew integrated Capability (CCiCap)," a recent NASA coinage to describe a program to encourage development of new commercial rockets to carry astronauts to the International Space Station. Wonder what XKCD would make of CCiCap?

This article evaluates labour force participation of older persons and recent retirement policies in various welfare state regimes (Liberal, Social Democratic and Continental/Southern European). By comparing sets of OECD countries, the authors seek to determine the extent to which pension reform follows a path associated with a particular welfare regime. The analysis suggests that different welfare regimes have developed their own approaches to public pension reform. The Liberal welfare regime countries focus of cost containment and re-commodification; the Social Democratic countries on cost containment and recalibration; and the Continental and Southern European countries on cost containment, recalibration and re-commodification - each depending on their endogenous structures and conditions.

Are you making sure your mom, dad, grandma and grandpa aren't being left behind in the digital age?
It can be quite a difficult endeavour with many members of the elderly community refusing to even touch a computer; but when there are so many benefits to helping them become more technologically savvy, it might be worth the patient legwork on your end.
7 Tips to help Grandma and Grandpa learn the computer ABC
We've got some tips to help you get grandma and grandpa up to speed, so that they can be browsing pictures of their grandchildren online and emailing with you, in no time.
- 1. Focus on the personal benefit technology can bring to their lives; i.e. it will help them to get closer to their family and long distance relatives.
- 2. Make the process simple for them. They don't need to know how to tweet and email and stream movies on Netflix right away!
- 3. Set up their computer and internet service for them. They don't need to be a part of this process – it may just overwhelm them and put them off the idea.
- 4. Make sure you set up Grandma and Grandpa with an internet security suite. We want to make sure they stick around for a long time – both online and off. Get BullGuard Internet Security 2013 here.
- 5. Create online accounts, such as email and Flickr in advance as well. And make sure you make those passwords memorable, AND write them down somewhere they can easily refer back to.
- 6. Get the family involved. Organize a virtual "Welcoming committee", to send emails welcoming them to the internet!
- 7. Set up a safe online environment for them and your entire family.
Don't leave Grandma and Grandpa behind. Get them online and keep them safe!

Jackson Diehl's op-ed from the Washington Post in the March 19 PD Forum recommended that President Obama put pressure on Palestinian Authority President Abbas for recognition of Israel as a "Jewish state." If Israel wishes to remain a predominantly Jewish democratic state, it seems logical to support creation of a viable Palestinian state, the objective of the currently stalled peace negotiations. That would provide a way for Israel to live with the demographic reality that the Palestinian population in their territories is growing more rapidly than the overall Israeli Jewish population. What would be better alternatives? Continued unsustainable occupation of the Palestinian territories? One democratic united state that includes both Palestinians and Jews?
The PA and Arab League have already recognized Israel as a state. The Netanyahu government knows that Abbas cannot accept the condition of recognizing Israel as a "Jewish state", because a substantial minority of formerly Palestinian Muslims and Christians live in Israel, and the Palestinian diaspora from 1948 expects some form of recognition/compensation for the "right of return". As debated publicly in Israel and the U.S., why does the government of a well-established, strong state now require an unlikely pre-condition to pursue their own best interests?

A view of U.S. Manufacturing
By Tim Hanley - April 02, 2013
Recently I had a chance to spend two days with a group of CEOs leading manufacturing companies around the United States (U.S.). I find that participation in these types of meetings provide a great venue to discuss top industry issues. In addition to world-class speakers at the meeting, one of the things I find particularly refreshing is the chance to interact with the leaders from large companies as well as small and medium size manufacturers to get a pulse of what is happening in manufacturing.
A high-point of the session was a CEO panel which featured a vibrant discussion on the key issues facing manufacturing today. These leaders have a relative consensus that business domestically is continuing to grow, although this growth is somewhat muted by the many headwinds that exist in the current manufacturing environment. Unanimously this group of CEOs indicated that they are spending more time than ever before in Washington, D.C. as they find it is critically important for them to ensure that legislators are well aware of the issues that are important to them as the primary providers of employment.
• Importance of tax reform in the U.S.
• Energy security (and the impact of shale gas on the cost of energy)
• Looming shortage of talent
• Importance of continuing investment in infrastructure (roads, ports, rails, etc.)
The U.S. has one of the highest corporate tax rate of many of the major manufacturing economies. While tax reform is currently being debated in the U.S., there did not currently seem to be a consensus among CEO's on the extent of the tax reform, which might take place in the near term, but there was agreement that change was needed to be globally competitive.
Not surprising, one of the other significant topics of discussion was energy. In fact, there were several sessions during the meeting dedicated to the energy landscape. Despite the many headwinds experienced in the U.S., the benefit of the significant presence of shale gas and its downward pressure on energy costs was viewed by executives as a real positive. Who would have guessed just a short time ago the U.S. would be looking to potentially be energy secure, and the advantages could offer in competing globally.
One very important underlying theme heard throughout the meeting was the importance of being globally competitive. Speaking of this topic, I wanted to remind you again of a report prepared by Deloitte in conjunction with the U.S. Council on Competitiveness entitled the 2013 Global Manufacturing Competitive Index Report. The good news for the U.S. is that global CEOs surveyed believe that the U.S. has improved its competitiveness capabilities since 2010, moving up one spot from fourth to third in current manufacturing competitiveness, behind China and Germany. However in five years, executives surveyed expect the U.S. to fall a bit further behind due to the rise of India and Brazil, and drop to the world's fifth most competitive manufacturing nation. As I indicated above, this sentiment is at least in part a result of policy and regulatory disadvantages, as well as high labor, corporate tax, and unemployment rates, along with sluggish GDP growth.
It goes without saying that the U.S. will continue to have a major global impact in manufacturing and we will continue to keep an eye on the challenges and opportunities faced by U.S. manufacturers.
Look forward to connecting with you all again next month—likely from another corner of the world.

East Mississippi Community College linebacker Christian Russell, who helped the Lions win the NJCAA championship Sunday in Biloxi, has verbally committed to Ole Miss.
Russell (6-foot-1, 235 pounds) led the Lions with 85 tackles this season, to go along with three sacks, two forced fumbles and two interceptions. The Fayetteville, N.C., native is rated a three-star prospect on 247 Sports' composite rankings and also had offers from Texas A&M, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Georgia and Auburn, among other schools.
"Every time I have been around the Ole Miss coaches, they have been straight with me. All I want is the truth about my situation and they gave me that," Russell told Scout.com. "I will have to work hard to win a spot. "... I am also excited about what Ole Miss is building. We are going to win a lot of games and hopefully championships. It's a great situation for me. They have a close team and the atmosphere there is what I was looking for."
Ole Miss now has 24 verbal commitments for 2014. As a December junior-college graduate, Russell is expected to sign with the Rebels on Dec. 18 and enroll in school in January.

Lately, I've been researching how enterprises are becoming mobile businesses. What I've discovered is that a business doesn't "mobilize" overnight. There are distinct phases that a company progresses through as it transforms itself into a mobile-enabled business. I categorize these phases as follows:
Today, most businesses have accepted the concept that business processes need to be mobilized and that the business must have a mobile strategy to interact with its customers. In this phase, a business will simply rework many of its existing solutions to operate in the mobile domain. Companies will seek out mobile versions of existing applications or adapt these applications to operate on mobile devices. In many cases, firms start by replacing volumes of paper or paper-based processes with mobile apps.
In the second phase, a business tries to add new features to existing services to enhance the experience. For example, this could be adding location into customer relationship management or adding mobile point-of-sale in a retail environment.
During this phase, businesses create new experiences and build different business processes. Mobile apps will automate workflows, streamline content discovery, and build knowledge iteratively over time as employees and customers use an application. For example, a mobile logistics process could enable a delivery person to run a report at a customer's location that shows all previous deliveries and calculate how long it will be before the client needs another delivery. This process could also be used to help the logistics manager understand how long the delivery person was at a customer's location versus driving between sites.
Transitioning techniques
I've also discovered that many companies I've interviewed get stuck as the business attempts to transition from phase one to phase two. Most businesses simply stop at recreating existing experiences and processes. What a business should do is build a mobile strategy that focuses on delivering new value or enhancing the company's value proposition. A company should be thinking about how the business can use mobile to make the everyday lives of its employees and customers better. What is their goal? For example: Is it fast access to inventory data? Is it the ability to approve a vacation or an expense report while on the go? Is it the ability to place an order from their smartphone?
Assuming the business understands what its employees and customers want, it should look at how the unique attributes of mobility can improve existing processes. Location is an obvious first choice. For example, how can location knowledge change what we communicate to our customers and employees? Push notifications can be used to send targeted information at the point of need. Second, can we use location to automate processes such as delivery to a client site or timekeeping in the workplace? Third, how can we use location to optimize our worker productivity? In the case of field service and transportation, a business could use location to deliver better routes to save time and fuel. In the case of retail, a grocer could use location to improve "in the aisle" customer care.
Location is just one element of context that businesses can use to improve business processes. Businesses can also look at time of day, motion, and social networking context for additional ways to improve business processes. In 2013,

A representative of the Portland Business Alliance has refused to sign off on City Commissioner Steve Novick's proposed budget for the Portland Bureau of Transportation—usually a formality in the city budget process.
What's the hangup? Novick wants to end a deal where PBOT pays for downtown marketing campaigns in exchange for higher rates on downtown parking meters.
Bernie Bottomly, the PBA's representative to the PBOT budget advisory committee, has joined with Corky Collier of the Columbia Corridor Association to issue their own splinter budget suggestion to City Council.
Their proposal would restore the "good faith" agreement for PBOT to give tourism group Travel Portland more than $800,000 for advertising the virtues of visiting downtown Portland. (Under Novick's plan, Travel Portland would have to compete for highly-sought general-fund dollars.)
It's another case of a city official winding up at loggerheads with neighborhood leaders over parking—a political third rail that Novick began touching during his 2012 campaign.
In his budget letter, Novick says PBOT has already more than paid its debt to downtown by paying for the Portland Streetcar, which increases neighborhood property values.
"Our position is, in effect: 'Hey, we're already shelling out a chunk of money to market downtown by paying for the streetcar,'" Novick writes. "'Since the General Fund benefits from marketing downtown, can't it at least pick up this Travel Portland deal?'"
Bottomly and Collier argue back that Novick is reneging on a deal: more money for PBOT from downtown meters means more money for downtown in advertising.
And they raise a veiled threat against Novick's big plan to find new taxes and fees for PBOT.
"These agreements were made in good faith and the community stakeholders have upheld their end of the bargain," they write. "If the city were to move away from those commitments it would undermine the trust and cooperation that will be needed to address the bureau's long-term funding needs."
Novick has been aggressive this budget cycle in hunting for more PBOT money. Yesterday, he announced a request for $1 million for flashing beacons at crosswalks in East Portland—then suggested cutting the Mounted Patrol to pay for walking safety.

Imagine traveling in France at this time as an unofficial ambassador for Hillsboro and making a visit to the world famous Eiffel Tower.
That's the prized role of Glencoe High School sophomore Chelsea Plinke, chosen several months ago by the Hillsboro Rotary Club to be the local young person they would sponsor as an Outbound Rotary Exchange Student. Her travel for a planned stay in France started last August.
Host families and a French Rotary Club have added to her touring and cultural experience. Her local family, friends, and fellow students will welcome her back in June of this year.
Screening interviews last fall, led by project chairman Rotarian Bob Grover, named Aubrey Givens from Liberty High School as the student who will pack and travel as the Outbound Youth Exchange Student for 2012. The country for her destination will be announced in February, according to Grover. She has been attending orientation sessions and building friendships with Youth Exchange Students from other area Rotary Clubs, in preparation meetings arranged by the Rotary District 5100 committee.
For the inbound side of the Exchange Program, the Hillsboro Rotary Club has welcomed Samantha Vizcarra from Michoacan, Mexico. She attends high school classes and visits to get acquainted with the Oregon area. She is staying with a Rotary family and the report is that she loves ketchup, quesadillas and Mexican food. Her uncle is a Rotarian and recommended her for this exchange.

Does Meat Rot In Your Colon? No. What Does? Beans, Grains, and Vegetables! - GNOLLS.ORG
I feel your pain. I can't eat salads or any veg. uncooked, also off my list are all the FODMAPS now, the hardest being garlic and onion......ouch! also high allergy/intolerance to nuts, eggs, dairy, avocado, blueberry, nectarines, peaches, pineapple, olive, cucumber, mushroom, flaxseed, tumeric, vanilla, kale, melon, alfalfa, bamboo shoots, etc etc. so I am just about eating meat and tomato, adding the Fodmaps has made it all really difficult. Hoping to find that after a period of healing I can start to try and test more and introduce more things, but right now I just need to suck it up and heal my gut. Pretty sure I am having a problem with Chocolate and coffee now too. I too, don't feel well eating high carb,
Started Primal June 2012 at 148.5lbs, and 5' 1", reached goal weight in 5 months.
Lowest weight 93lbs - too thin. Now stable at around 100lbs much better weight for me at my age.
Primal, minus eggs, dairy and a myriad of other allergens.
Does Meat Rot In Your Colon? No. What Does? Beans, Grains, and Vegetables! - GNOLLS.ORG
Does a lifestyle of only eating animal foods not cause gas & if one has gas does it stink? Seriously all I hear from people who do Atkins is they are constipated and straining in the bathroom. Why?
I'm not wanting that and i sure don't want things rotting in me either:-/
Neither has my body odour changed - the only thing that makes all the above smell diffent is eating garlic, they go kind of sulphury then. Sorry if that's TMI but it is relevant.
1.) Your body gets hot and your heart beats faster because carbohydrate raises your metabolic rate and sends thyroid function higher. You sound like you have a subnormal body temperature and are potentially hypothyroid.
2.) You have to pee because carbohydrate is converted into glycogen rapidly, which comes with 3-4g of water retention for every gram of glycogen stored. You dump that water when you use the glycogen. This isn't a downside but a positive.
3.) The food "runs right through you" because your gut is probably trashed. Longterm avoidance of soluble fiber, which comes from fruits and starches and is nonexistant in meat and vegetables, destroys your gut cultures. They feed off of soluble fiber and sugar, so when you give them no sugar, they die. If you suddenly start eating foods that require fermentation to digest - fruits and starches - you will fail to digest them properly. This is also what's probably causing your IBS.
More or less, you don't "feel" fantastic on a high fat diet. What you have done is by avoiding carbohydrate, you've wrecked your body so completely that eating carbohydrate is now a problem for you. You've created an absolute mess of yourself and a diet that SHOULD make you feel comparatively lousy - a high fat, low carbohydrate diet - has become more comfortable for you.
Leanness is just a product of CICO. You have calories under control. There are plenty of lean trainwrecks in the bodybuilding community.
I would recommend you start doing the exact opposite of what you're doing to get on the mend. Stop eating fat, start embracing well-cooked starches and sweet fruits. Start supplementing EVERY meal with a probiotic pill and some Greek yogurt or kefir. Start embracing fermented foods. Avoid nuts, fibrous vegetables and grains like the plague since the insoluble fiber is extremely problematic, especially in your case. Start slow - remove the skins from potatoes, sweet potatoes and fruits. Peel your apples, peaches, etc. You may even want to start with cooked fruits - baked bananas and apples, or even puree them to make the fiber easier to digest.
Andrew Kim sums up your situation masterfully here:
How does that relate to you? Well, it's my belief that you have killed off your bacteria cultures in your gut and you are riddled with elevated stress hormones (cortisol, estrogen, serotonin, aldoesterone, PTH, etc) from prolonged low carbohydrate eating. Especially with your level of leanness, you should be running on a particularly high carbohydrate diet since your leptin levels are low. I'm willing to bet you have shockingly high fasting glucose - maybe around 90 or so. It may be worth looking into as I'm banking on you being strongly insulin resistant from avoidance of carbohydrate. When I was HFLC, my fasting BG was usually around 85-88. Now that I'm mostly a carbivore, I hang in the 74-77 range. Reducing fats and increasing carbs in kind have markedly improved my insulin sensitivity, and as I result I've dropped a good amount of body fat since carbs are less fattening than fat.Another prominent clinician-researcher, Harold Himsworth, who was also first to show that insulin sensitivity in the tissues is reduced in diabetics, decades later, suggested, based on his clinical experiences and a review of the population data that high intakes of dietary fat (which raises free fatty acid levels) caused diabetes, and that diets rich in carbohydrates and low in fat were protective of it (Himsworth, 1934a, 1934b, 1936).
Kahn et al. thereafter, via multivariate analyses, in effect, reconfirmed the data that had been amassed by Himsworth, by showing that men who ate more sugar were less likely to develop diabetes later on than those who ate less of it—believe it or not (Kahn et al., 1971). By the 1980s, sugar had been pretty much exonerated from the diseases that were, speculatively, being assigned to it.[...]
[...]Fatty acids, both directly and indirectly, inactivate the PDH complex, preventing the metabolism of glucose to carbon dioxide, whereas carbohydrates have the opposite effect. Diabetics generally have elevated levels of free fatty acids in the blood, and this accounts for many processes that go off the rails in them, including (1) an impaired ability to switch from one fuel source (e.g., fat) to another (e.g., glucose) and (2) a 2- to 4-fold increased risk of cardiovascular disease compared to non-diabetics.[...]
[...]So in summary, it's my contention that the excessive mobilization and oxidation of fatty acids—a signature of sorts of the diabetic metabolism— impairs insulin actions, primarily by way of inhibiting the PDH complex (Koves et al., 2005). Simply put, when free fatty acid levels are elevated, the metabolism of glucose to carbon dioxide becomes impaired, and glucose is rerouted to lactate instead. This has important implications for the cardiovascular disease—of which, to recap, diabetics have an increased risk of.[...]
[...]I would recommend, in no particular order, to (1) supplement with vitamin B1 (cofactor of the PDH complex) and (2) magnesium (helps retain ATP in the cell), (3) eat sugar as in fruit in preference to starches as in grains and tubers, (3) reduce excess body fat if you have it, and replace it with muscle, which serve as sinks for free fatty acids, (4) reduce the fat in the diet and replace them with carbohydrates and protein, keeping calories more or less the same. (I've found, and most dieters knows, that the loss of muscle occurs long before the fat stores become depleted, which is why carbohydrates are superior to fat during periods of weight loss, as carbohydrates are strongly anabolic), (5) opt for small meals over large ones in order to maintain steadier blood glucose levels over the course of a day, and (6) de-stress as much as possible by, for instance, getting into the habit of creating and writing down plans for how you will get an A on an upcoming exam, cope with a major life change, complete a paper, win an argument, etc. This can be more powerful than executing the plan itself . . . it has been for me at least.
Andrew Kim Blog: Diabetes, Dangerous Fat, and Protective Sugar
I would also recommend you get bloodwork showing fasting glucose, cortisol, adrenaline, serotonin, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and a comprehensive thyroid panel showing TSH, T3, T4 and rT3. Don't just get a TSH screening - you need to see if your body is converting T4 into active T3. TSH just shows if the pituitary gland is calling for the thyroid to function...it's pretty meaningless. The problem most people have is the conversion after the fact.
I hope this helps.

Chocotaco :-) awesome write up.
I can attest to fruits consistency working really well in my body but avocados totally give mood boost, it's my main fat source next to young coconuts. Whole food fats seem to lift my spirits a lot more than a bowl of cherries.
Here's the question on reading about digestion tract-
Soluable fiber absorbs water so adds volume But we need the insoluable fiber to move it thru the system. That's why both are essential. If one only eats soluable fiber it's not moving thru and out the way it should. At least that's all I've ever found on the topic. I know when I went on steemed sweet potato binges it was really hard to go ___. But if I ate it raw sliced up to use for dips - no problem.
So how can peeling fruits or skinless steamed sweet potatoes be the way to do it? Wouldn't it make evacuation harder?
Nutrition Facts and Analysis for Avocados, raw, California
An avocado of "average" size contains 11.8g of carbohydrate, of which 9.2g are fiber. That's 78% - shockingly high! And if you've eaten an acovado before, you know that's the soluble stuff. Avocados don't exactly have the highest quality fats in them, but they're clearly good for gut health.
They're particularly high in vitamins and minerals, so who is to say it's the fats making you feel good? They're pretty nutrient-dense. It could just as easily be the potassium, vitamin K, vitamin C, magnesium or folate making you feel good. My money would be on the potassium - it is shockingly high, and most Americans are deficient. Look into blackstrap molasses. The potassium content is through the roof. I'd be curious to see if a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses also made you feel fantastic.
Skins on fruits and vegetables can give people with gut issues problems. Cucumber skin, zucchini skin, potato skin, sweet potato skin, apple skin, peach skin...these things are notorious to give people problems since this is largely insoluble fiber. Peel them and what remains is the nice, soft, soluble stuff you can break down.
Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.
What kind of problems?
And even if the apple, grape, tomato, zucchini skins go in the blender with the whole fruits. That's the only way I eat skins. Most time I spit them out if I can't blend it into a soup.
Are you eating No leafy greens or vegetables other than starchy ones?
What dif. did you notice cutting them out?
I eat plenty of leafy greens. I eat 3 heads of lettuce a week minimum. Cucumbers every day - I love the skins. But my gut is A-OK. I have no reason to avoid vegetable fiber, and I eat very limited nuts and almost no grains so that really tough fiber isn't an issue. For someone that has poor gut health, they'd likely have issue digesting vegetable skins, and nuts, seeds and grains would be a nightmare. Stick to soft fruit flesh and starchy tubers cooked very well IMO.
