|Vaginal swabs used to be used fairly often. They check for the amount of cornification of the cells in either the discharge or around the cervix (has been awhile since I paid attention). They are not as accurate as progesterone testing, but may be OK if you are doing a couple of live breedings and IF the vet knows what he/she is doing.

|Bomber isn't offered for outside breeding's, just to let you know. You could always use one of his son's though.
The vaginal swab is to see what bacteria is present in the bitch. The thing is, that area is NOT sterile. You have to expect bacteria to be present, strep, staph, microplasma, etc. You can find out if there are high levels of bacteria present. The thing is, if you find bacteria, and you put your bitch on anti-biotics, you can be prepping the area for nasty-worse crap that will grow in the absence of the normal stuff.
Sometimes stud owners will want to this done. Always get the brucellosis test -- that is venerial disease that can cause all kinds of issues.
Progesterone testing will tell you the exact day of ovulation -- which is not necessarily the day you need to breed on, if you test enough times to actually get the surge. It is good to know though, particularly if you are traveling to the stud dog, and if you may need a c-section: puppies are born 63 days after ovulation, NOT the day the dog and bitch mate.
Actually, you will probably want to breed her at least twice two or three days apart.
Fantastic ideas!! Thanks so much everyone!! I'm just so nervous even though I've raised Dozens of rescued pups & kittens. I've never had any of my own :-)
My vets said to do a vaginal swab, he said nothing about progesterone. Is one better then the other? Trinity is very obvious when she is ready. She flags & tries to hump other dogs.
No problem on goats milk!! Darbe my girl just had twin boys. & we do milk her! Great timing huh ?! Say hello to Flip & Flop!!!
|There is a great facebook group. Canine fertility, reproduction and neonatal issues. There are lots of saved documents that people have written that are worth a read. Do make sure you confirm pregnancy by ultrasound. You dont want to over feed a bitch just because you 'think' she might be pregnant. Also, are you doing progesterone testing? Have lots of info to share about that that could take up an entire thread. That FB group is helpful with that too. Look up Dr. Jean Dodds vaccination protocol. You can order Nemex 2 for deworming everyone. I also heat with wood and my bitch gets very dry as well. I havent figured out the right combination yet to help with that. Coconut oil should be the only oil you need. You can pick up some Show stopper or puppy gold from K9 power products. Answers raw has goats milk that you can give also. That is great for weaning. Talk with your breeders to ask what should be in your whelping kit, what has worked for them. Also for a whelping box, I just use a kiddie swimming pool. Summer is ending and not sure you will find one now.
Trinity is the first dog I've ever shown. So this is all new to me but I'm really loving it. I had no idea how different the AKC vs Schutzhund world was. I'm slowly learning. We did earn our VP 1 at 5 months old, BH & SG rating st 16 months. So I'm happy where we are today.
As for the dog I want to breed to V Bomber vom Wolfsheim
He is located not to far from me, but till I earn my IPO & FH this isn't possible. He only breeds to approved females. My close friend knows Bombers owner. & he owes her a breeding. So once I'm ready & Trinutys us ready, that's our plan for the future
you understand that "she took Reserve Champion in the class" means that had that bitch been there , you would have had points .
Just talking with friend the other day , memory lane, and she said her female went reserve to the same female 3 times each time 5 pointers. That female got her CH. and friend continued to show 3 consecutive 5 point majors in a row - CH.
As far as the obedience , AKC judges are too familiar with dogs , GSD - walking on egg shells . I participated, I went through judges apprentice etc etc -- I saw it , which was a shame . I would have loved to see a GSD with some energy .
The sliding stops you can modify by practicing very close recalls , just asking for correct position .
The random bark you can modify by not allowing the "game" of obedience which your dog seems to enjoy and then some, from proceeding . You bark and there is a stall . Don't reward the bark .

I don't know about you, but sometimes my iPhone's autocorrect drives me ducking crazy.
Take, for example, my cat's name: Leeloo. Despite typing the name on a semi-daily basis, somehow my phone still tries to autocorrect "Leeloo" to "lee loo." Back in the days of iOS 6, my phone used to autocorrect any misspelling of gingercast to GINGERCAST. But since upgrading to iOS 7, that doesn't even work anymore. Your favorite 6-second gingers-only Vine-cast usually insists on being the "gingrcqst."
For months now I've been waiting patiently for autocorrect to re-learn the words I use regularly, with no luck. If you, like me, are fed up, then it's time to take things into our own hands.
First, the cat name misspelling. You can teach autocorrect to learn the correct spelling of words or names you use frequently by adding them as a contact in your phone. In practice, this is hit or miss for me — it will remember the last names of contacts in my phone as I begin to type them, but autocorrect still tried to change "Leeloo" to "lee loo" a few times.
Another (more reliable) option is to go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then scroll down to Shortcuts and tap Add New Shortcut — yep, the same way you'd add an iOS keyboard shortcut. Except instead of adding a shortcut phrase, so "omw" autofills to "On my way!", you can just type in a phrase or word that the phone should know: the name of your favorite restaurant, industry terminology you use for work, the names of your bicycles, anything you type regularly that tends to get mangled.
Turning off autocorrect completely is an option, too, if you're fed up with the system entirely. But no matter how frustrated I get with autocorrect fails, it's still far superior to no autocorrecting feature at all — at least in my experience.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

For God's gifts and his call are irrevocable. —Romans 11:29
Because the gifts and calling of God are "irrevocable," a person who had a tremendous anointing yesterday can continue to see the momentum of that anointing continuing to manifest itself. He or she may hastily conclude that "the anointing is still with me" when it is but the momentum of yesterday's anointing.
This is sobering. I could be a hypocrite in my personal life, and yet my gift could continue to function. I could even deceive myself by telling myself, I must be right with God, or I couldn't preach. The truth is, God's calling and gifts are irrevocable. That means that God will not withdraw my preaching gift simply because I have not been a loyal, obedient son. He gave me certain abilities when He made me and called me into the ministry. By study and hard work I can improve upon those gifts—without a fresh anointing that comes only from continued intimacy with God. And when people say, "That was a good word," or "God spoke to me through you today," I could assume that God is very pleased with me indeed. One of the worst things we can do is to take compliments too seriously.
It is possible that there are those who sincerely don't know better. They are well equipped, high powered, eloquent, and charismatic; people are blessed by their ministries. These people who are thus used by God may sincerely believe they are pleasing God because their anointing is functioning so well. "I am under God's anointing," they may well say. True. But it could be yesterday's anointing. There may be nothing fresh about it.
The fresh anointing is the essential thing. It is what replenishes the irrevocable. If our irrevocable anointing is not replenished by a fresh touch of God, we are depending on yesterday's anointing.

Stock markets all over the world are collapsing, unemployment is impacting millions, there is war and devastation in the Middle East and Pakistan, but the Australian Parliament is determined to keep its focus on what is most important — reciting the Lord's Prayer to open sessions. The Australian Green Party suggested instead of a Christian prayer, time be set aside for reflection, but the government and the Opposition responded with the reminder, "The Lord's Prayer has a very important place in the conduct of the parliament program…it provides a non-partisan reaffirmation of our commitment o the common good for the people of Australia." Of course, Muslims, atheists, Jews, and various other groups don't adhere to the Lord's Prayer, but what the heck, isn't it about time they began to behave like good Christians and say the darn prayer?
Perhaps, if someone in the Australian government could provide a single example how saying the Lord's Prayer resulted in someone changing a vote because she/he felt it would hurt some Australian. We suspect, MPs vote for lobbyists or benefiting the interest of their constituents. Unfortunately, God is neither a lobbyist or one of their constituents.

Six years ago, British Prime Minister Tony Blair allowed himself to buy into the hysteria of George Bush and send thousands of UK soldiers into combat in Iraq in order to destroy WMD that never existed. Six years have passed during which terrorism has grown in power due to mistakes made by Blair and his American buddy. Iraq never posed any threat to world security by Blair played a role in creating large numbers of terrorists in Iraq and later in Afghanistan. Prime Minister Gordon Brown who played a role in the fatal decision to invade Iraq, hailed the closing of the venture by saying, "Today, Iraq is a success story… Our mission has not always been an easy one, many have said that we would fail."
Gordon Brown never addressed the issue that he was part of a government which lied to the people of Great Britain and sent hundreds of men to their death based on lies. Iraq was never a threat to the UK and it is not yet clear whether Saddam Hussein could have been removed by other means. A lie can never end as being a success.

No its not a new toy by Hasbro, its my first attempt at creating a Jango outfit for a friend of mine. Here are some pics of what we have so far. I have a helmet that we are currently sanding down and a vest on the way so we can mount the rest of the armour. I'm using realy metal armour. With some sweet V.1 FP Gauntlets. And a full leather girth/holster set up. Lemme know what you guys think so far. This is just a test fitting we did to determine the placement of the velcro. We still have some adjusting to do on the suit and shape the metal a bit more. As usual the flash washed out alot of detail on the beautiful armour. Anyway... yeah.. thats where we are at so far.
Oh yeah and one more thing.. where the heck can I find some rub-n-buff. I live in Alaska so I dont have alot of the stores in the lower 48 states. Just wondering where you guys get yours from. Thanks.

Aroldis Chapman(notes) was summoned from the bullpen one batter too late to make a difference in the game. No matter. The 22-year-old Cincinnati Reds left-hander made do by making history Friday night, throwing the fastest pitch recorded in a major league game, a 105-mph fastball.
Ardolis Chapman's 25 pitches on Friday night (each registering 100 mph or faster, including his record-breaking 105 mph heater) must have been a blur to Padres batters.
The blazing pitch pushed a white-hot pennant race to the back burner. Yes, the San Diego Padres won the game 4-3 to pull ahead of the Atlanta Braves in the National League wild-card race. Sure, the San Francisco Giants all but buried the Colorado Rockies thanks to a dominant performance by Tim Lincecum(notes).
But the lingering memory was of a now-you-see-it, did-I-actually-see-it fastball to Tony Gwynn(notes) in the eighth inning. The pitch was not a fluke: Chapman threw 25 pitches in his 1 1/3 innings of relief, and every one was at least 100 mph. He didn't throw a slider. He didn't throw a changeup. Why would he?
The 105-mph pitch was inside for a ball and evened the count at 2-2. Gwynn had fouled off the previous two pitches and fouled off the next before striking out. He ought to be pleased with his effort, forcing Chapman to make seven pitches, the slowest of which was 102 mph.

Hey everyone! Now when it comes to games i am VERY picky and there are a few things that if a game has i wont even touch it. -
1.Too much questing(Basically 98% of Mmo's)
2.Click your enemy spam 1-9/f1-f12 - I don't want my character to attack unless i click the button and am in range
I DON'T want the game to auto-move me closer to the enemy and use the move this is the biggest turn off of games and the reason I have yet to find an mmo like this :/
That's basically it
I don't care if its f2p or p2p(At least have a trial or something to see if i like it)
i also would prefer a large population but it doesn't matter too much as long as there are enough people
Thanks in advanced%#

The X-Games take to the water! Every auto sport enthusiast will find a reason to start paying attention to these races. Not necessarily because they actually do it, or intend to, any more than they intend to start short track racing, but because it is exciting to watch.
Undoubtedly it will get the attention of a few who might go out and buy a Hobie Cat. I doubt it will add much to the ranks of sailboat owners.
Hoping some of the technology gets shared in more detail. Have they managed to run the foils by computer? How much adjustment is possible and how? I want to know more about the wing and its trimming operations.
Is it time for the Seal Harbor Yacht Club to buy a fleet of Moths and some wet suits? Oops! Lobster pot floats! They will add a dimension of uncertainty, honing the skill of the young sailors who already have their hands full avoiding other boats and finding the wind. Can't imagine a very practical application for foil sailing Downeast. Too many things to hit at 6 k Not to mention 40! The wing on the other hand will show up. A hinged mast like the ones Marshall offers for their catboats that would allow the wing to sit flat when "stowed". It must be possible to design an efficient wing for any boat. I want to see one for a gaff rigged cat boat. Ha!
Exciting stuff!
Re: AC 34 - What If?
I find myself conflicted on everything associated with this race.
The GOOD: I really enjoyed watching. Fast, foiling, exciting, and short. Great TV coverage with excellent graphics. What amazing machines and complex team work required to make them go, and some classy guys driving both boats.
The BAD: I missed he more tactical traditional AC with lots of slam dunks, tacking duels, sail changes, etc. Too few lead changes during a race. Too narrow a condition window for racing (wind speed, direction, fixed course) driven by the technology I think. IMHO the balance between crew work and technology in determining the outcome got driven a bit too far towards the technology, not that it doesn't take amazing crew work to keep these boats going and upright!
The UGLY: Being a US guy, I wanted the US to win, but am not a Larry fan, and our guys got caught cheating.
But thinking back, every AC I can remember had some controversy. It's the nature of the beast. And, I plead guilty, I tried to resist but once I started watching I didn't miss a single race.
Re: AC 34 - What If?
As for mixing it up, this is taken from the Deed of Gift:
In case the parties cannot mutually agree upon the terms of a match, then three races shall be sailed, and the winner of two of such races shall be entitled to the Cup. All such races shall be on ocean courses, free from headlands, as follows: The first race, twenty nautical miles to windward and return; the second race an equilateral triangular race of thirty-nine nautical miles, the first side of which shall be a beat to windward; the third race (if necessary) twenty nautical miles to windward and return; and one week day shall intervene between the conclusion of one race and the starting of the next race.
It looks like the Auld boys were thinking of putting a bit of variety in the mix, just a bit.
But this part today's fans would never go for:
...and each of such races must be completed within seven hours.

Most sports have the same field/court/track/course for every game. The reason the nature of the AC course has changed (no windward starts, beam reach finish, etc) is because the boats that they are racing are not able to bob and weave the way others in history did. A collision of two yachts at 9 knots wouldn't even spill the beer. At closing speeds of potentially 75 knots, a collision will kill a whole lot of people. Even with only one boat involved in an accident, someone died.
If I recall the AC series I watched in 2003 in Auckland, the course was different only inasmuch as it moved from place to place in the Gulf but that that was not to make it different, it was so that the course could actually stay the same. It was changed so that they could still have a windward start, two beats and two runs which used to be classic AC.
AFAIK it has in modern times always been that way. Why would it want to change now?
In response to your these boats can't weave and bob statement, so you you can't have various types of starts comment, I saw Oracle do a 180 deg Turn in 3 boat length at 20+ kts. Seems pretty maneuverable to me.
Building on that, these boats do race downwind and upwind during the race, so why can't you have a suitable start line line set up for this? Were not talking a hoard of OD boats all racing for the line, it's two boats. I have been in several boat races with both types (up/down) starts with a lot more boats without issue.
Also, I am not talking about doing circle , criss-cross, or some other weird set-up course, on odd days, or whatever, I was suggesting you use standard normal sail boat race courses with slight mods, such as upwind start, down wind start, off-sets at the marks, etc.
Having races that are different courses in the series can minimize the strengths of each boat. Boats that do well upwind can take advantage of races with upwind starts or races with more upwind legs. Boats that sail better downwind, similarly on the more down wind leg courses.
As it was in AC34, all races were the same, 2 downwind legs and one upwind leg with a 2 short reaches. Had the there been a boat that was notably faster in the downwind legs, they would have an advantage during the series.
I am all for safety and the death of the sailor was tragic and sad. However, there are risks in everything we do, and just because these boats go faster, doesn't make them any less safe. Yes they go faster, but there are also sailed by the probably some of the best sailors in the world. There competence at the helm and control should minimize the risk compared to Beer Can Racer Joe Sailor.
Re: AC 34 - What If?
I think this sums it up from my perspective.
The Cynical Sailor & His Salty Sidekick: What A Bugger
Re: AC 34 - What If?
I'm not a NASCAR aficionado, but I believe the tracks do differ from one to another, if not the direction itself. Aren't some longer or shorter, with different turn radius and/or banking? Grid irons from game to game are indoor and out, artificial and natural turf, played during the day and night, sun and snow. They play home and away, which mixes up the crew dynamics.
To each their own, but I would find the AC more interesting, if it were a decathlon more than a best out of 17 series around the same track in conditions that have to be within narrow parameters because the voluntarily chosen equipment is too dangerous otherwise.

Yet James Spithill was a youth development graduate of this club, one of our very own, and the vibe down here at Wednesday afternoon racing was just electric. I was actually only there to check the batteries on my boat, but i couldn't help it and I hopped on a boat and went racing.
I get the cynicism, the dust will settle and maybe very little will change. Then again maybe seeds have been sown.
The dock I walked down this morning with a trolley of biodegradable toilet paper and cleaning products is actually the one where a teenage Jimmy Spithill used to go out match racing on the club boats. It's also where a couple of Olympic gold medallists learn't to sail as well. It's a plain old looking dock on Sydney's northern beaches, no glory or glamour here, just seagull crap.

That makes sense. The way they were consistently foiling upwind compared to NZ was pretty incredible.

I agree Oma. The set course is a good direction.

The University of St. Thomas women's basketball team's first appearance in the Red River Athletic Conference Tournament ended with a 77-54 loss to Louisiana State University-Shreveport on March 1 in Waxahachie, Texas. Amber Arceneaux-Francis led the Celts with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Maghen Lormand added 17 points, including five 3-pointers.
After a daunting 50-point loss to Shreveport a week ago, the Celts came out of the gate strong taking a 32-31 lead into the locker room at halftime.
"We executed our game plan well to start the game," said Head Coach Mike Ricks. "We made a concerted effort to defend better than we did last Saturday, and Kirstin kept us under control on the offensive end."
The teams traded baskets to start the second half, but an injury to freshman Kirstin Lee changed the Celts' fortune.
"That was a turning point," Ricks said. "Make no mistake about it; the credit goes to Coach Howell and the girls at Shreveport. They are as tough as they come, but when Kirstin went down, it affected us."
The loss concludes the Celts second season as a program.
Ricks is proud of the direction his team is headed.
"We accomplished so much this year, and we are only going to get better," he said. "It still hasn't really sunk in that it's over, but when the dust settles, I think the girls will be able to look back and be proud of what they did and excited for the next chapter."

When I mention Lindsay Lohan, do you think to yourself, classy? No, you think of a chain smoking petty thief who makes sure she gets her cash upfront from the guy and watches the clock while he does his thing and she texts and listens to The Wanted. Apparently Dina is Lindsay's pimp, but unlike most pimps does not subject Lindsay to daily beatings and Lindsay can decide how much to pay her pimp which in this case depends on Lindsay's mood which is never good. What the article doesn't mention is that the men should definitely only bring with them what they can afford to lose or have stolen.

Food ADD
I know that I need to exercise more and eat less but I also know that I have an extreme case of what I call food ADD. You don't know food ADD? Food ADD is when you constantly become distracted (ooo, donuts) by the food you know you shouldn't be eating (mmm, french fries) and despite your best intentions to eat healthy you end up coming out of a trance (Ice cream!!) and discover you've abandoned your plans for the sake of the immediate food gratification.
I exaggerate a bit, but it is a little bit. Many days it seems like I do lose all ability to reason when food choices are placed in front of me. So I need to start again, but I am always prone to taking on too much and abandoning it all when I fail at any one piece so I'm going to start small but determined. And I'd like your suggestions. Below are three feasible but still challenging options to jump start my healthy eating and I'd like your opinion on which one I should begin with. (It is my hope that I'll move to all of these things soon).
The options:
1. Give up soda.
PROS - this will get rid of calories I don't need and almost certainly mean giving up the majority of caffiene in my diet as well since I'm addicted to diet coke and not really a big coffee drinker.
CONS - itcertainly mean giving up the majority of caffiene in my diet as well since I'm addicted to diet coke and not really a big coffee drinker. :)
2. Give up sugary items - baked goods, candy (halloween included), sugar drinks, ice cream, etc.
PROS - This might make the most difference and break the sugar cycle that I've established. And since I've been craving them a lot it could be a large calorie reduction that doesn't have a natural replacement.
CONS - I'm sure that the sugar detox will be ugly and ever since being pregnant I've had a major sweet tooth.
3. Give up the fried sides - french fries, chips (corn too), onion rings, etc.
PROS - This is a big fat part of the diet and might help me make better choices in my meals (particularly lunches out which happen too frequently) as well as shrinking the size of meals and taking away many of the foods I'm likely to munch on unknowingly.
CONS - Like the other cons there really shouldn't be except that I LIKE them and they really hit a specific salt craving that I don't have an alternative for.
Now I may not give all these things up for the rest of my life but my goal would be to make it too Thanksgiving and reevaluate depending on how 1. I felt during it 2. My eating habits changed and 3. whether I could add additional healthy eating tasks too it.
And yes, right now they have to be giving them up completely. I just need to start SOMETHING, anything to make sure I end up heading in the right direction. Exercise is in the works too once my cold/cough combo settles a bit.
So what do you guys think?
Gosh, reading this back makes me a bit sick. Am I really so addicted and driven by the food, especially bad foods, that I eat? Sadly, yes, I am. I've got to break the cycle...here goes. Please vote in a comment by Thursday night. Friday is the start date. Friday October 16 - Wednesday Nov 25. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
16 comments:
When I started my last diet I had 2 rules: no dessert and no french fries. Those were really shorthand for "no sweets and no fast food". It worked for me. My vote on where you should start would be no fried sides. Get your salt fix from low fat popcorn. Second would be the sweets/baked goods. I would cut back on the soda and stick with diet soda, but I wouldn't eliminate it. Good luck.
- Juanly said...
I used to be exactly like you when it came to food. I found that the key is not the rules, but the mind. I came across a saying that I repeated over and over. "Decide, commit, succeed." In other words, decide what you're going to do...commit, and I mean really commit to it, and then you become destined to succeed. It's all in the mind.
For me, in my "rulebook", I allow myself one "fun" day per month, which usually means getting breakfast at Cracker Barrel and ordering anything that I want, and two "forgiveness" days per month or as I also call them "oops!" days. And that's when I just can't resist something. I've also learned that when one of my "oops" days come about, to just forgive myself and move on. I used to just keep eating.
But the KEY is the mind! Liz, until you decide that you are going to do it...and COMMIT to it, then I can tell you right now that nothing is going to work. And along with the commitment to changing your eating habits there must also be a commitment to exercise. Because then your body will be working in tandem with your mind. And the exercise can be something as simple as walking. Get one of Leslie Sansone's walking tapes and then you can walk no matter what the weather. Those tapes are WONDERFUL!!!! It is said that if a person does something for 21 days, it then becomes a habit. Liz, commit to changing your eating patterns and your exercise lifestyle for just 21 days...you can do it...and see then how much better you feel. Sorry for the long comment, but this is an area which I feel strongly about. I am almost 60 years old and I can outlast most people in their 20's. And finally, think of Edward. Which is more important? The food or being around for his 40th birthday? And listen to me talk...I'm giving you the speech that I'm going to be giving myself on my 60th birthday when it comes to quitting smoking. Forty years of smoking is enough! I've decided to quit on my 60th (I've decided to quit before, but I had never COMMITTED to it!) If I keep my committment, then I will succeed.
- Juanly said...
Hi! I'm back again with the link to Leslie Sansone's website. For exercise, if you just do her walking program, you really don't need anything else. Much cheaper than a gym and actually fun! You and Chris could even do it together! And when Edward gets older he can join in.
- Songbird said...
As a person with a sweet tooth, I find the salty cravings usually come as part two of overdoing on the sweets. If you can give up those salty things, it helps break the cycle. Then before you decide to give up sweets, add more fruit instead. I always have a better day with more than one fruit serving (not that I do it every day, don't want to sound superior!). Good luck!
- Becky B said...
I'm going to vote for giving up the sweets. Save them for a special occasion - that way they'll taste even better when you do get to have them.
For what it's worth (this coming from a big girl who has never been successful with losing weight), I've found that when I work out regularly, I crave healthier foods, like fruits and vegetables. If I were smarter, I'd listen to those cravings. Maybe it'll be the same for you - once the workout routine is established, maybe the rest will fall into place.
- Valerie said...
I would definitely give up the sodas, but I would work on making small changes to everything else.
Here's the thing, soda is full of sugar! Plus, when I drink a soda that's when I'm most likely to crave fast food. You're used to having soda with just about everything. What happens when you have the soda, but don't have something else to go with it? Plus, like I said, it's full of sugar, so cutting the desserts won't do much unless you completely cut the soda too. That seems like a lot at once.
You can, however, make changes to the other parts. Other people have commented on little changes. Fruit instead of a candy bar. Low-fat (and low-butter) popcorn instead of french fries. Actually, Orville Redenbacher makes a great 100 calorie pack. Also try pretzels. They're a delicious salty treat. If you like ice cream, try having yogurt. And I don't mean frozen yogurt. I mean something like Dannon. I've found it's often the dairy I'm craving. Sometimes I'll even settle for a glass of milk! Oh, and if you get some with fruit mixed in you have a little extra texture which is nice.
As far as exercise goes, it's important of course, but trying to add it in right now may be overwhelming. Not all is lost, though! I'm sure you spend time with Edward on a regular basis. Use that time with him for fitness. Do peak-a-boo stomach crunches, push-up kisses, scoop-up squats, or airplane arm-lifts. I won't explain the moves in detail here, but feel free to ask questions. Use your time with him to keep yourself moving. As he gets older you can do more with him, but I assure you he'll wear you out.
I won't make this comment any longer, but good luck!
- Anti-Supermom said...
1- Soda, could never do it but I drink diet and caffeine free, so it's lose to water, right?! LOL
2- Same thing, couldn't give it up, sorry.
3- Yes, this I could do, I only need the occasional fry.
I'm horrible come afternoon snack time, so I build up my day. Do great for breakfast and lunch, then slowly fail - but the calories tend to work out this way... not that I'm suggesting you do this, but this is what works for me. (I workout a ton too, because I love too, yes... I'm crazy.)
Good luck, Liz!
- Rebecca said...
I like #1. Giving up soda is HUGE. Also, then when you do have it, it's an awesome treat. This is from a former Coke (capital C) addict.
- Valerie said...
Sorry to post again, but I have a few more tips. As for a caffeine substitute, mint tea always made me feel a little more lively. It's actually caffeine-free but packs a punch. Other teas, however, may also work well for you.
Below are a few fun links. I'm looking for one more in particular, but I thought you might enjoy these.

I've had pretty good luck by starting with really simple small changes. For me, doing too much too fast just made me want to be a rebel.
Diet soda can cause issues with blood sugar, especially if you are already overweight, so avoiding all soda is best. I still have my latte in the morning, which got the OK from my dietician because it has calcium, which is good for weight loss, protien, and less caffine than drip coffee. I cut out fries (I order a sandwich, no fries, no soda, when I just have to have a burger).
The other thing, harder now that it is getting cold, is that most adults need 8-10 servings of fruits and veggies. More like 5 of each, not 5 total. You work hard to add in that many veggies and fruits to your diet, and you have little room for anything bad.
For me, walking was great exercise, before it SNOWED. But I like the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. 20 minutes of intense exercise, but then, when you think you're going to die, it is done. At my heaviest, I struggled, but it didn't take long before I was doing the pushups.
I also give myself a day off a week.
You can do it, but start with small things, add something new every few weeks, and eventually, you'll be there.
- Kristie said...
If you want to start with one thing start with soda. I just went to a class on healthy eating at work and the nutrionist said that if you gave up one 20 soda per week for a year you would lose 27lbs in that year.
I gave up soda and it was easier than I thought. I did sort of wean off of it but by the 2nd week I wasn't drinking any. I do have one on occasion now but it's rare. I feel so much better without it. I was having a lot of stomach/digestion type issues and most of that went away once I stopped drinking soda.
Like you, I want to give up all the same things but I think doing all 3 at once is overwhelming. I say start with one and work into the others by starting to limit how much sweets and fried sides.
I will work on it with you!
- Tiffany said...
My vote is fried foods. And here is my reasoning. It sounds like this will be the easiest thing for you to do. Like you said, you just really like them. I think you will be most successful at this. Giving up soda, while helpful, is your caffeine source so you will be actually giving up 2 things at once which might make you more cranky. Let me compare it to a rewards program for a child, you want them to feel "rewarded" right away to get them hooked. I think you this will be easier for you to do and you will feel rewarded at Thanksgiving when you have succeeded in this and then you will feel good about your new habit that you may feel more empowered to tackle the others. Just a thought!
- Soupy said...
Hmm, not sure what to say. I've recently joined a biggest loser challenge on a message board and my motivation is the $$ pot at the end..........I've completley gotten myself off Coke the past 2 weeks - not easily - but I allow myself one home made chai latte at home in the AM (small one). I drink a TON of TEA. I heard that cinnamon can help w/sugar cravings---maybe weaning off the pop to teas w/flavor?
I've also read that Diet Coke/soda is awful for you. It does mess w/your blood sugars, etc., and can cause your body NOT to lose weight- crazy, huh?
So I say- start w/the soda. Go from there to the sweets, Then the fried food.
A friend of mine mentioned this book:
The Beck diet solution : train your brain to think like a thin person / Judith S. Beck ; foreword by Aaron T. Beck.
Apparently she LOVES this book- our Dakota county library system has it :)
I've also went on a diet that makes me eat proteins/veggies in high volumes, w/a small amount of complex carbs for breakfast and one snack. On the 3 day - I add in starch for that day. I've noticed tremendous changes in just 2 weeks in my energy levels (other than sleep deprivation).....and I'm feelng "leaner".
Do you still go to Lifetime?
I applaud you efforts and keep your eyes on the prize
I think that book might help- it helps your train of thinking - which sounds like you - the "ADD of food eating" you mention...........
Sorry I'm rambling..........you are on your way, mamam!!!
- liz said...
My experience with food and weight loss has been that if I try to cut out a food group entirely, I will feel deprived and wind up rebelling by eating more than I ever would have anyway. That's why I love Weight Watchers, which I started doing to lose my pregnancy weight. You can eat absolutely anything you want, you just have to be honest with yourself about portion sizes. So if you want donuts, french fries, ice cream, you can have them. I wouldn't want to live without eating bread or sugar or even fried foods sometimes. So for me, portion control is the key, not cutting out any one group of foods. You may be able to deprive yourself of something temporarily, but it won't give way to a permanent lifestyle change... at least it wouldn't for me.
- Kate1024 said...
Okay, I started the Monday following last Thanksgiving and here was my plan: CUT DIET COKE. this was hard. I have a cup of coffee every morning, but I try to avoid soda of all kind. have had about ten total diet cokes in the past year. have use seltzer water (like club soda) when i need bubbles, but otherwise cut it out.
the other thing i did, and this was HUGE for weight and, more importantly, energy levels, was to cut wheat and gluten.
this means no bread, no pasta, etc- unless you can find non-wheat stuff (rice pasta is actually really good- you can also find quinoa pasta, and quinoa is a "super food" which is even better) and these really taste like "the real thing."
the beauty of this is that you eat a lot less processed food- automatically better for you. and cuts calories big time. i highly recommend. the increased energy (esp. in the afternoons) is so fabulous.
- scrubmama said...
I didn't read all the comments, but my vote is to NOT BUY what you don't want to eat (chips, soda, whatever). If it's not in the house, you can't eat it, and then it's a special treat when you're out.
Also, I've had good luck giving up sweets for Lent (maybe advent, too?)--I have an excellent reason to turn down goodies, and the ugly deprivation always ends up being a lesson in sacrifice. ;)
Also, for some reason, sipping tea keeps me from overeating (usually). Maybe that might help?

Over the past several seasons the Canucks' have relied on their polished, effective special teams units. Its been a key feature of this club's DNA, and a critical reason they've managed to win back-to-back President's Trophies. Just in terms of their conversion rates, they've been a top-ten power-play club for three seasons and a top-ten penalty killing club for the past two.
If you've been paying attention you already know that, through 19 games this season, Vancouver's special teams effectiveness has atrophied in a major way. The […]

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jun 20, 2013.
Boston is poised to contend within 5 years.
Ainge is smart to torch the place and rebuild. The Nets are what an EC all-star team would look like if Miami's plane crashed on the way to All-Star Weekend. ...wow. I'm picking Chicago or Indiana to rep the East in next year's finals.
After Ainge went Pete Gupta Jr on the Celtics, he's a Rondo trade from making the Boston roster look like the flowerbeds of El Camino. They'll have a good shot at a top 3 pick in a very strong draft. Joe could learn something from him.
Joe D won't even have a mailbox in the race.
I just got totally busted at work! Coworker from next cube over: "What's so funny?" Me: "Ahhh, you would have to know Pete Gupta to understand" Coworker: "Who is Pete Gupta?"
If the internet was a contest, Mogilny just became world champion!
I'm lucky I have a door. I had to shut that thing before my cheeks exploded.
Sounds like a personal problem.
Taco Bell usually does that to me.

Arsenal Football Club is delighted to confirm that Steve Bould and Neil Banfield will be joining the first-team staff after Pat Rice's departure at the end of the season.
Bould will become the Club's new Assistant Manager, moving from his position as the Club's Under-18 Academy Coach, with former Reserve Team Coach Banfield becoming First Team Coach.
Bould, who made 372 appearances for Arsenal during his playing career and won seven major honours with the Club, has been coaching Arsenal's young players since 2001. During his time as a youth coach, the 49-year-old has presided over considerable success, winning consecutive FA Academy Premier League titles in 2009 and 2010, along with an FA Youth Cup triumph in 2009.
Banfield has been a coach at Arsenal for nearly 15 years, eight of which have been spent as Reserve Team Coach. He also spent a number of years working in the Arsenal Academy, during which time the Club won two FA Youth Cups, a national Academy Under-17 league title and a regional Under-19 title. Before joining Arsenal, Banfield was a coach at Charlton Athletic. As a player he was a centre back at Crystal Palace, Adelaide City and Leyton Orient.
Arsène Wenger said: "I have always felt it is important to have people around who understand what this great Club is all about. With Steve and Neil joining the first-team staff, it ensures we carry forward our traditions and approach in a consistent way. I am looking forward to working closely with Steve and Neil and wish them every success."
The recruitment process for Bould and Banfield's previous roles at the Club is now underway and announcements on the new appointments will be made in due course.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Snow shortage affects Montcalm, Ionia businesses and road crews
Residents of West Michigan welcomed the new year Sunday night with something they hadn't seen much of this past December — snow, and lots of it.
Up to three inches of fresh powder fell by this morning. Prior to Sunday night, there wasn't much snow to be found anywhere, however.
According to data provided by the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids, snowfall through Dec. 31 marked the third lowest snow total in recorded history for early season snow.
Only 5.2 inches of snow had fallen up to the new year, which is 24 inches below the normal. Grand Rapids has seen less than 25 percent of normal snowfall through December 31st.
No snow = less business
For businesses that provide winter products, such as snow shovels and snow blowers, the lack of snow created a slower than usual amount of business toward the end of 2011.
"Most people wait for the first snowstorm of the season," said Mark Sopel, owner of Barnes True Value Hardware in Carson City. "Sales of winter items have been very slow. Not only has it not snowed, but it's been warmer than usual, so our winter coats and gloves haven't sold as well either."
Sopel said he has to order his inventory almost a year in advance every February.
"Ordering snow equipment is a bit of a shot in the dark" Sopel said. "I usually order equipment based on the previous winter and we had a pretty severe winter last year."
No snow= no fun
Winter recreation has been down so far this winter, as well, according to Chris Glasco, who assists with Norm's Ski Shop, her father's business in Greenville.
"We're finding that customers haven't brought in their skis yet to be tuned up," Glasco said. "When there's no snow, it's normally not so bad because most Michigan ski resorts can make artificial snow, but it's been too warm so far this winter for most resorts in this area."
Glasco said her father's business is a specialty ski shop with dedicated customers, with majority of them tending to ski in northern Michigan and at out-of-state resorts.
"A lot of our customers ski out of the Grand Rapids area and there's a good amount of snow up north, where most people like to ski," she said. "A lot of our core customers go up north and out of state. We're blessed with the fact that we have a specialty ski shop."
Glasco said sales on the store's general merchandise, such as clothing, including hats and gloves, have declined compared to previous winters, as well as equipment involved for activities such as cross country skiing.
"I want to say no, the weather hasn't affected things, but it has," she said. "But high school ski racing is a business that is still surviving. The weather affects us and without that high school racing, we might be in trouble. But those kids are still on snow traveling up north."
After Sunday night's first major snowfall of 2012, it looks like winter has finally arrived.
"We're hoping the snow hits sooner than later," Glasco said. "It just isn't winter in Michigan without snow."
No snow= money saved
However, the lack of snow has managed to be beneficial to some, such as area county road commissions.
According to Ionia County Road Commission Managing Director Dorothy Pohl, the lack of snow has allowed the agency to save money on its winter road maintenance budget.
"This has been great, not having to spend money on diesel fuel for our trucks and not spending money on overtime for our drivers," Pohl said. "If it stayed this way the rest of the winter, I'd have no problem paving roads in the spring."
Pohl said this is only the second time in her 20-year career where she can recall such little amount of snow before Jan. 1.
"I look forward to having the money saved and using it to fix roads in the spring and summer," she said. "I think the trucks have been out on the roads no more than five times so far."
Pohl said the unexpected warmer weather has allowed her employees to remain busy performing routine work, such as scraping gravel roads. She has only had to spend a small amount of the budget on overtime wages.
"We're continuing to maintain gravel roads," she said. "I've only had to pay out overtime once so far. Overtime pay is usually very typical this time of year in order to keep the roads safe, but we just haven't needed to be out plowing and salting roads so far this winter."
By contrast, Pohl can recall years when the road commission has spent too much money on snow removal during especially harsh winters leaving "no money left to do anything" during the spring and summer.
"If you think about it, if I don't have to spend money in the winter time, I can spend it in the spring and summer on improvements," she said. "In that situation, I'm spending it on something that lasts for years versus snow removal, which is a short term operation."

Adobe Cesareans Cross-Channel From The Email Market
Over the summer, we were all treated to an abundance of headlines proclaiming that Adobe, Oracle, and Salesforce were engaging in a marketing cloud war. Yet the relevant acquisitions — Neolane, Eloqua, and ExactTarget, respectively — only engaged in border skirmishes, since each focused on the distinct, yet adjacent, markets of campaign management, B2B marketing automation, and email marketing. Indeed, each of the strategic acquirers either already had partnership agreements in place or agreed to partner on the heels of the acquisitions.

Benefits of SonicWALL – What are the benefits of SonicWALL Arlington Virginia (VA)
World has never been more global and more insecure. Certainly not, I mean to accuse globalization as any reason behind any kind of cyber oddity. It is nearly inevitable to protect ourselves, our personalities and even our computer systems when the information exchange today is at its peak. Almost everything in the world comes for a price in lieu and so does a computer based life too.
So many morning we wake up to find our computers running slow, acting strange, and behaving as if just they have just survived some foreign attack. But, how do we know if these computer systems have really survived those attacks or the invaders are already in. We know it right away and we can't take chances because these computer problems if not been fixed by a computer technician can affect our routine lives unfavorably.
Computer viruses, computer worms, spam, spyware, malware and many others are the computer generated problems that are common enough to have nearly touched all of us at our homes, schools, business or elsewhere. A common solution to all of these Computer attacks can really make a significant difference to our personal and professional lives.
What is SonicWALL?
SonicWALL is a security solution that facilitates our homes and business organizations to safeguard their systems, networks and data in an efficient way without having to compromise with the overall performance of a system or a network.
SonicWALL products amalgamate malware protection, virus invasion, application intelligence, SSL VPN, wireless controllers and similar other attributes to establish a wide-ranging protection.
The competence of SonicWALL lies in the ease of setup and arrangement for apprentice users in the absence of any technical support. It also encompasses sorting abilities to prevent a specific kind of users to surf where they are not meant to be around. Not to mention, the higher models are more potent and provide VPN and protection against different kinds of viruses.
What are the benefits of SonicWALL?
SonicWALL products scrutinize every byte of every entity to provide the maximum level of protection to cater to a wider community of Computer users ranging from an individual computer owner to enterprise set-ups. Please, see below various advantages that SonicWALL has to offer to an array of computer users.
- SonicWALL provides an solid wireless LAN.
- SonicWALL embraces Virtual Private Technology, which is also known as VPN. This computer technology has been made simpler to manage and to oversee.
- SonicWALL enhances performance as data gets compression across Wide Area Network. WAN Acceleration encourages users to access, develop, and allocate important information in much faster and simpler ways.
- Another feature which is called Application Intelligent Optimization makes it certain that only the data that is meant to be accelerated amongst distributed enterprise sites.
- SonicWALL boosts up productivity by optimizing bandwidth.
- SonicWALL offers an inclusive advancement to cater to a wide range of users with manifold personal or professional lifestyles, in the process trying to deliver a more secure, controlled and efficient computer manageability.
- Bandwidth organization recognizes and obstructs possibly unsafe traffic such as instant messaging and social media.
- SonicWALL grants flexibility to users in terms of accessibility of optional port that can be configured or used in numerous different ways depending on user's preference.
- SonicWALL contributes towards minimizing infrastructure and administrative overhead, therefore bringing down the cost of deployment and reducing total cost of ownership.
- SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) backs up data and provides disaster recovery result that on its own conserves and safeguards personal and business-relevant data properties against loss from file, device and location related failures.
Who may be SonicWALL useful for?
SonicWALL's products are valuable for small to medium sized networks and they are highly practical for even individual systems. Their products and range of firewalling products are of utmost importance to service providers, healthcare, retail, government and corporate environments.
Is setting-up SonicWALL at home a complex process?
A process that doesn't exactly follow the manual instructions and may need you acquire some additional facts from your cable connection provider before you disconnect can be a complex process. It is important to note down the serial number for SonicWALL and other details, because soon after internet won't be seen until it's successfully connected again. It can be an issue especially while attempting to get online technical support.

Re: How do you use your boat
Petmac that is one very pretty boat.
Re: How do you use your boat
Bermuda 40 Mark III sloop. Launch in mid April and haul the end of Oct. Daysailing or coastal cruising every chance I get. Maine and Atlantic Canada. Retired.
Re: How do you use your boat
I have a Cascade 29, they can sail anywhere. I've sailed it to Mexico with stops at Catalina. Have done lots over night trips. Mostly I day sail solo, year round, 2 and 3 days a week.
Re: How do you use your boat
I have a 1968 Cal 2-30 that I bought last year. It is my first boat of any kind and I use it primarily as a place to sleep when I work in Hollywood (about 100 days a year). The sailing is a bonus, which I do twice a week in season. I've made two crossings to Catalina. This year, I will be racing her and My wifey and I will do a mini-cruise down the coast for a couple of weeks this summer. Because I bought her on the cheap, restoration and maintenance has taken much of my time and mental capacity, but will be worth it when, at some point, I hand her off to a new owner who will say 'tough titties- she's mine now.'
Re: How do you use your boat
I sail a Pearson 28-1, a small family coastal cruiser. I use it for daysails in the Chesapeake Bay and extended cruises in the Bay/mid-Atlantic area.
I estimate that I logged over 1,000 nautical miles in extended cruising in 2012, all solo, including 3 overnight passages in the Atlantic between Cape Charles, VA and Cape May, NJ, a Delmarva circumnavigation, and spent a total of 21 nights on the boat. I sailed the entire length of the Chesapeake Bay last year, from the Elk River to Cape Charles, and the entire length of the Delaware Bay (but not the river).
I would love to go on some weekend cruises, but my wife and young son have not been ready for that yet. Maybe this year. I also hope to take an extended cruise to the Northeastern U.S., visiting Fisher's Island, Greenport, Block Island, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard.
Re: How do you use your boat
I've got a Hunter 23.5 trailer sailer. Used mostly for daysails and occasional overniters. We love sailing out and rafting up with friends or just going and camping out on our own. Often we take family and friends out for a quick sail or just to watch the Friday night fireworks in the summertime. It's great for gunkholeing with its centerboard and swing up rudder. Though I have run aground, I've never not been able to get unstuck by myself. We are thinking of a larger boat sometime in the future though. I would love to do the Loop someday. I don't think we'll be crossing any major oceans, (at least not my wife) on our boat. LOL
Re: How do you use your boat
Like a bumper car without wheels
Re: How do you use your boat
My boat is a Catalina 320 - the epitome of a production boat. I wish I could say I used her more, but the truth is that I probably sail about 20 - 25 day sails a year. I wouldn't even sail that many times if I weren't fortunate to live in the sunny south. (I sailed on New Years Eve - a great way to end 2012.) I am still hoping to get a couple weekend trips a year into the schedule, but the wife and kids aren't as fond of sailing as I am, so sailing vacations probably aren't in my future any time soon.
However, I see lots of boats in the marina that look like they haven't moved in months, or possibly years. So I figure that I'm doing OK, and that so far the capability of the boat is definitely not holding me back. If anyone out there wants to swap me for a Swan or a Super Maramu, I'm willing to consider it. But in the meantime, I think my Catalina is sufficient.
|Lake Superior Sailor
Re: How do you use your boat
I have a Cal 28, Flattop,1967,Masthead Sloop. I sail all the weekends from May to October. The boat is kept in Ontonnogon, Michigan Village Harbor, Lake Superior, 90 miles from home. So that makes me a weekend warrior! I plan a few long trips 60 - 70 miles one way to Isle Royale,(wildest place in the lower 48) or the Apostle Islands. Superior has a lot of beauty to tempt you, But; She is a place to respect! Harbors far apart. cold water- 40 degrees, and help is far away. I keep my Cal fully stocked, & set up for ruff seas , as things happen fast here....Dale
Re: How do you use your boat
I own a 2008 Beneteau 343. She was bought when the right deal presented itself to us and after much back/forth...some of it played out on sailnet. She is the epitome of a modern "flat bottomed" production boat.
She is mostly in cruising configuration, with a bimini, dodger and a lot of crap weighing her down. She is homed behind my house in an ocean-access canal in Fort Lauderdale. We primarily user about 20-25 times a year. Mostly a combination of daysails and club races actually. We're active in our local sailing club. Occasionally - about a couple times a year - we cruise to locations for long weekends or a mini-vacation. We've done Bahamas a couple of times and Keys a couple of time.
The hardest part of not cruising more is time...my wife and I are both mid-career professionals and its tough to take time off. We also just had a baby and are figuring out how to take our daughter aboard more.

Once formulas make use of pi (and not 2*pi) later on, it's going to have to be defined as (tau/2), which is just going to end up confusing students.
Once formulas make use of pi (and not 2*pi) later on, it's going to have to be defined as (tau/2), which is just going to end up confusing students.
I still do not see how much more convenient Tau is. As several people have stated, 2pi = Tau is a quite simple equation and at some point kids will have to learn about pi in math when they're calculating the volume of some structures. Besides if pi isn't taught and we move to Tau, how will teachers then tell kids if they're not given new books?
"Hey children, do you see that Pi sign in the book? Yea, cross that over and put in Tau instead"
I won't mind using Tau along with pi and as a person who just started on engineering this summer it won't affect me at all. I'll just define tau as 2pi in the beginning of my MathCad document and forget all about it.
I'm sorry but I still can't see how tau makes it easier to teach math to children.
Edit: is it really a problem for children today to understand the fundamentals of pi? Seems like an odd solution to a problem that doesn't even exist

Celsius is an obviously better system for anything that's not describing weather though.
---------- Post added 2012-11-10 at 01:38 PM ----------
This seems like a whole lot of nothing. There are many formulas and relationships where pi is by itself and not multiplied by two (area of a circle). Using tau means that while the circle constant is now simpler, those equations become more complex because you would now have to multiply or divide by 2.
Tau is not a magical solution and serious mathematicians will go about their business using pi, because serious mathematicians are not afraid of multiplying by 2.
Take a look at how many equations have 2pi. Circumference, surface area and volume of a sphere would be simplified by replacing Pi with Tau. Now look at all the rest. There is no simplification in those. For many integrals, it would make much more sense to simply use Pi instead of Tau/2.
You've got to admit, 0 and 100 are a bit more round and intuitive than -40 and 30. Anyone that's dealt with either scale for more than about two days will be totally comfortable with either though.
I might have changed professional orientation if i had knew this back in elementary school!
True story: One time I bought a key-lime pie, and offered my roommate "half a pie", and she said sure, and I gave her a quarter of the pie.
Tau would ruin that joke. I would be forced to retreat to low-brow fart jokes.
But back on topic, pi makes more sense when dealing with classical mechanics, because radius is more often used. Tau would clearly make more sense when dealing with waves, such as in modern physics.
So both Pi and Tau have their moment. Yes, pun intended.
Lets count:
Interesting that I've never seen a problem using 2pie or learning it... while tau makes sense when teaching I'm not sure it'll really help that much in the long run.
Either you'll have to get used to pie or just replace every pie with ½tau.
Well met!
I'm not a mathmatician (I'm bad at it) not a physicist but the guy in the video is very clear O.o wish it was my math/physics teacher in high school.
mines simply lacked charisma and ability to keep the classes in check or to have them motivated in learning the subject. ;(
Well, it's all convention. R is usually what's used rather than D when describing geometries in my experience. You need 1 parameter to describe a circle, and that parameter is going to be fundamental, but what you pick is up to taste.
I'd say that having two constants that are reserved for the same physical constant is pointless. The hard science community wouldn't accept a change in convention that purely benefits grade school children, so basically you are teaching children something that is technically wrong.
I think the problem is only that "pi" sounds like "pie" which has a definite connotation when it comes to circles.
Just realized something
3.14 written backwards is 41.3 which looks remarkably like PI.E

Origins Network announces that they have online on their website Nottinghamshire wills proved in the PCY Courts
Nottinghamshire wills proved in the Exchequer Court of York
Until 1837 Nottinghamshire was part of the diocese of York, and wills were proved at York. Though all original probate records relating to Nottinghamshire proved in the Prerogative Court of York remain at the Borthwick, those proved in the Exchequer Court have now been transferred to Nottinghamshire Archives. Registered copies of these Exchequer Court wills remain at the Borthwick, so you can order hard copies of all wills which relate to Nottinghamshire, whether proved in the Exchequer or Prerogative Court, but not other documents. In the index presently (ie covering May 1731 to Jan 1858) there are references to over 23,000 grants of probate relating to Nottinghamshire, of which 80% were granted by the Exchequer Court; in about 20% of these cases there is no will and so the documents are not available at the Borthwick. However, the Borthwick can supply the administration entries for these grants which, though fairly brief, do give the names of the executors. If ordering documents for grants relating to Nottinghamshire, we recommend you check whether probate was granted in the Exchequer Court, and then whether the will is included in the documents. If you place an order for a "Nottinghamshire" document where there is no will, and where probate was granted by the Exchequer Court, be aware that you will receive only a copy of the administration entry from the probate act book.
Ordering hard copies of original documents
You can order a hard copy of the document(s) referred to in any index record simply by clicking of the "Add to cart" button alongside each record. The cost of each hard copy document, including first class or airmail postage, is £10. (NB If there is more than one document referred to you will receive copies of each.)
Other "York Series" Probate Indexes
All the indexes to probate documents held at the Borthwick Institute will become available online on British Origins. In addition to the present indexes to the Prerogative & Exchequer Courts, indexes to the Medieval probate records of these courts, and to the Peculiar Courts are also online.

Use to cut chain and to open and close S-hooks. 36" in length. **Installation, Safe Use and Maintenance Instructions** IMPORTANT: To keep children safe from harm, follow these precautions and instructions when installing, using, or maintaining this playground equipment. You can see this PDF.Installation: Spread pliers' legs apart and put chain at the back of the large set of jaws. Put leg with flat end on the ground. Place your foot on the flat end for leverage and press plier's legs together until the chain is cut. Pliers cut chain that is 5/16" in diameter. To close S-hooks: Put the S-hook in the front part of the large jaws and close the pliers' legs and the S-hook will close. To open S-hooks: Use the little jaws at the other end of the pliers' head. Put the top or outer jaw inside of the closed S-hook. Close the pliers' legs and the S-hook should open. Make sure any S-hooks are closed to within .04 to meet ASTM safety standards. To do this you will need to use our S-hook pliers or a regular pair of channel lock pliers. WARNING: Once the S-hooks have been opened they will have to be replaced to avoid injuries from coming open and/or breaking. Make sure that if you are using shackles they are also tightened. Safe Use: This is for ADULTS only. Do not allow it to be used if damaged. Maintenance: Do the following to reduce the chance of serious injuries. Check monthly for cracks, rust, missing rivets, open S-hooks or evidence of vandalism such as cutting, metal showing through the material or bent seats from children standing on them. Tighten and lubricate all metallic moving parts per manufacturer's instructions. Check all protective coverings on nuts, bolts, pipes, edges, corners and all moving parts including swing hangers, swing seats, ropes, cables, chains and shackles. Replace as needed. Make sure there are no exposed footings, anchoring devices, rocks, roots, holes or any other obstacles in or around playground equipment. In high use areas these inspections should be done more frequently. Clean with mild soap and water when you do the monthly maintenance checks. Any damage from vandalism, abuse or misuse VOIDS all warranties.
