2018 Kingsford-Smith Cup Betting UpdateBetting | Horse Racing Today | News | Race Previews | Winter Racing |
Betting for the 2018 Group 1 $700,000 Altus...
While the Hawkes Racing-trained Group 1 performer Chautauqua is the class horse in Saturday's Rubiton Stakes 2015 at Caulfield Racecourse, at his first run at the track there could be value tipping an upset result with Eloping to beat the odds-on favourite.
The Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes-trained Encosta De Lago four-year-old Chautauqua resumes racing in the $200,000 Group 2 Schweppes Rubiton Stakes (1100m) and is the $1.70 favourite at Ladbrokes.com.au to defeat his nine rivals.
Last start the 2015 Newmarket Handicap-bound gelding, a race he's also the favourite to win at Flemington on March 14, finished a brave second to Terravista in the Group 1 Darley Classic (1200m) during November's Melbourne Cup Carnival.
That came on the back of two straight wins including the Group 2 Gilgai Stakes (1400m) in October.
Now he's after his third win from four resuming runs, but how he handles the Caulfield track he's never been over before will be key to the Flemington specialist's chances.
That opens things up, despite what the Rubiton Stakes betting markets show, with the David Pfieffer-trained Northern Meteor mare Atmospherical ($6) and lightweight filly Eloping ($6.50) the next best fancied.
So will there be an upset Rubiton Stakes result or will the favourite salute for the punters at the short odds?
#9 Eloping ($9)
Think there are plenty of boxes being ticked by this Peter Morgan & Craig Widdison-trained filly who gets the run of the race on the rails if she wants it from barrier one. From that gate she and jockey Stephen Baster will be going forward to lead, and with just 52.5kg on her back under the set weights plus penalites conditions she's a really good chance to go all the way. The Group 3 winning and Group 1 performed daughter of Choisir has a good first-up record (2-1-0-1), runs well at Caulfield (3-2-1-0) – which is the unknown for the too-short favourite – and from her two previous 1100m runs she's finished runner-up on both occasions.
#1 Chautauqua ($1.70)
No doubt he'll be hard to beat in the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap back down the Flemington straight next month but this highly-rated sprint star could find the turns at Caulfield a bit much to win first-up at that price. Don't doubt it'll be a close quinella with jockey Dwayne Dunn to do everything he can to stay in touch with Eloping and barrier three helps. But the conditions see him carry five kilos more than Eloping which could be the difference between first and second past the post.
#7 Atmospherical ($9)
Hard call for third but this is a nice ride for Craig Williams. The four-year-old is drawn midfield in five so has options in the run. She's won two from three first-up and is an 1100m specialist being undefeated in her four previous starts at the distance. Hasn't raced at Caulfield before but was on fire during the spring including her black type win at Flemington on Crown Oaks Day, and she's trialled well in Sydney since.

And now for some pics from our Monday…
I babysat sweet Rachel again on Monday - and Jaxen was so interested in her this time around!
He loved "patting" her and playing with her feet!
One of Jaxen's favorite spots in the house is in front of this vent.
I guess because it is warm?!
Not sure - but he sits here at least a couple times a day!
After Rachel left, Jaxen had his turn in his old bouncy seat. Too funny!
And a throwback picture of Jaxen in his bouncy at probably 3 months old!
Rachel's mom was so kind to drop off a huge bag of clothes for Jaxen!
Included were some shorts and tops for this summer, mittens, and a great coat for next winter
(along with some 4 and 5 T clothes). So thankful for these hand-me-downs!!!
While digging through the clothes to pull out what he could wear in the next 6 months,
I found this little gem. It is a cardigan. And it is precious!
I put it on him, right away, and he wore it all day and night over his jammies!
I love that he is such a little old man!
Giving us a concert, wearing his cardigan!

assignment 5
3d scanning and printing
5th week
This week is about 3d printing and scanning.
3d Printing
The goal for this practice is test all the machines available at our lab with the same model generated by ourselves.
My 3d modelling skills are not the best in the world; but i´m not bad at coding. So I decided to play a little bit with tools I already know for generating the STL to print.
I work a lot with Processing, to generate interactive/reactive visuals and graphics. There are a lot of libraries for create 3D environments, like Hemesh or Toxilibs.
First, I tried to export the geometry from some reactive visuals I made months ago for a musician, but the geometry wasn´t easy to export, created with functions not compatibles with the exporting available ones:
So, playing a little bit and learning about the posibilities of the different libraries about how to export 3D models, I chose to use Toxilibs with a simple model, because this assignment is about test, not create the perfect 3D figure.
Toxilibs gives even a detailed log about the features of the exportes 3D model:
I made a simple terrain, generated by a noise function.
I wasn´t satisfied with only export the simple 3D model with Processing. Moths ago I worked a little bit with OpenScad for a project, so I imported the STL to OpenScad to modify it in some way.
For make the model more complex, I extruded the terrain model to a semisphere, to obtain curves an sharpen shapes at the same time; with a difference() function.
Because the semispehre would be hard to print without supports, I made a flat base to the new figure substracting a cube positioned at the bottom.
Work with openScad is cool, 3D parametric modelling for coders!
We have different types of 3D printers at the fabLab, first we tested the MakerBot 2 and the BQ Witbox. Both use PLA filament.
Makerbot has their own software to print,
For the BQ printer, we used Cura for generate the .gcode file, with the same settings as the Makerbot software.
I realized that the MakerBot did the infill layers with a honeycomb pattern, and the Witbox with squares.
I know that is a challenging figure, but the MakerBot gave us better results than the Witbox, this second one left more remains and dirt plastic. We need to sand it a little bit, and print in both of the printers with different qualities:
We tried to sand the 0.1 Witbox piece with acetone in a glass to make it softer, and it works!

32 min
1h 9 min

Other Materials & Printers
At the lab, we have other types of printers with different materials.
We learn about how to use the 3DSystems Projet 1000 (hard plastic, resin) and the Projet 160 (composite).
Projet 1000, Resin
After taking the piece out of the printer, to finish it, its needed to do some chemical process: take out the exceed of resin, wash it and harden it with UV light.
Taking out the exceed of material (5 min):
Washing with water (5 min):
Cutting the piece from the base:
Hardening with UV light (40 min):
The resulting piece is super soft:
Projet 160, Composite
The composite printers works with a material in "dust", a powder, that reacts with a liquid material to harden it.
We printed the same STL model in two ways, solid and empty, for saving material:
The printing took about 48 minutes.
Vacuum the exceed of material and rescue the pieces:
Blowing gently the pieces for cleaning in detail:
The clean pieces, as we can see, the empty one was super thin and we removed part of the surface while cleaning it.
After cleaning them, is needed to harden the pieces with an aglutinant component and let them dry.
The result is quite impressive. super soft faces and definition:
NinjaFlex & Woodfill
For the last printing tests, we set up the makerBot2 with ninjaFlex (flexible filament) and Woodfill (wooden filament).
The ninjaFlex is a very weird material, leaves a lot of dirt.
The woodfill is nicer, it looks like chocolate. We printed in low-res.
The final pieces with extra materials, all together:
Angle tests
We printed with the Replicator Z18 a test piece to check different angles and look at the behaviours of the material.
From 20 to 70 degrees.
From 55 degrees up, the curve began to be harder. But I think is a good result without using no supports at all.
With the thin walls test, the machine couldnt print anything thinner than 0.40 cm. The original model had 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50, 0.55 and 0.60 mm walls.
3D Scanning
At th vce lab, we have the Sense 3D Scanner, its like a hand-kinect device. They have their own software to run it, very easy and accurate. The resolution is not the best but is very fast.
Using a rotating chair is the best way for not lose the tracking or glitch the scan. We scanned each other and used different machines. I chose the makerBot.
3d Scanning & Printing assignment from Marta Verde on Vimeo.
The result was pretty cool, the model took half an hour to print.
Jose printed his scan with the Witbox, and the results were worst than mine with makerBot.
I work a lot with Microsoft Kinect sensor, the first edition was a total blast for the creative coding community. Mine is broken (too much use and travels), but last year I bought the Kinect 2. It has much more resolution than the first model. I downloaded the SDK for Windows 8 and tried the Kinect Fusion App, that allows exporting 3d Models.
Its quite accurate, but because I live alone, I only could try to scan my cat; but Kinect Fusion doesn´t have an option for 360 scanning, and he is not trained to be a scanning model, also he can see the infra-red light that the sensor throws and tried to hunt the light. Bad idea.
For future uses, I discovered a more powerful tool called 3D Builder. It allows to make 360 scans as the Sense software; to avoid capture meshes and join them with MeshLab or similar softwares.
Robot-arm printer
As an super-extra for this assignment, we were able to test how to print with an industrial robot arm. The project is part of a research developed at the Universidad Europea de Madrid, where is located our lab.
Is still in development, but Adolfo kindly let us try it. It´s an industrial robot arm with a PLA extruder at the end. They work with Rinhoceros, and developed a script for export the meshes to be readable by the robot. For far as now, is a continous printing, so we decided to print the FabLab logo. It took almost 3 hours to print a 20x20x5cm piece.

Described what you learned by testing the 3D printers
I learnt about different processes and materials. We should choose the 3D printer, material and resolution depending on the future use and field of the 3D printed object.
Shown how you designed and made your object and explained why it could not be made subtractively
The STL model we used on the Projet 160, with the inner void, it couldn´t be made substractely. The others can´t either, that´s why I added the curvy area at the bottom, a milling head couln´t reach that area.

And I love the side zippers, even though some people feel that the Flare color makes it hard to pair with a top. Most of my shirts work well with super brights, so that doesn't bother me.

Well, that glass of wine (or grape juice?) looks like fate is being tempted?!?ReplyDelete
Think they look fab so you should luxuriate in them! ;)Replies
Haha, the wine is really tempting fate, right? But I'm a thrill seeker.Delete
I tried them on in store and they were very hard for me to pass up. I love greys and especially love Silver Fox, and these are just so pretty. They look great on you!ReplyDelete

Monumental effort??!! As you can imagine, I had something to say about that. Really, is a 7 hour round trip really an unfair price to pay for a fantastic job like he's got? Well, if Mr. Shenton can't face a trip up north, he can always delegate that work... :) The comments, by the way, have morphed into that age-old discussion about the 'essence' of blogs in general. And I'm afraid I contributed to it, but then we already know that I'm rather protective of the comment function...!
"...it didn't help, either, that our arrival in Plymouth hadn't been exactly welcoming. All four of us critics had been booked into a rather down-at-heel hotel, the Astor; and then trying to eat at the Theatre Royal's upstairs café meant dealing with what Charlie called a "Kafka-esque" ordering system in which all orders were taken at a counter by someone manning a solitary till, which took the best part of 15 minutes. Critics shouldn't expect a red carpet to be rolled out for them – we're members of the public with free tickets and a notebook, basically – but coming here involves a 7-hour round-trip by train, so it might have benefited the theatre's management to have noticed we were there at all before we picked up our tickets from the theatre's charming in-house PR. By then, even though she was as hospitable as she could be (and even rustled up some interval sandwiches to perk us up), the irritations had started building up. Now it wasn't just memory that the show had to compete with, but the monumental effort of getting here and getting fed were counting against it, too."
Thoughts on TV, comedy, theatre, film, music and anything else that takes my fancy...

Rock Island District train 603 left downtown at 2:25 p.m., was scheduled to arrive at the Blue Island Metra Vermont Street station at 3:10 p.m., and hit the vehicle as it ended its run, said Michael Gillis, a Metra spokesman.
The train was not traveling at high speed when it hit the vehicle, he said.
Blue Island Fire Department crews were dispatched to the wreck, but details on injuries weren't immediately known, according to the fire department.
The train is scheduled to return to Chicago later this afternoon, and likely will not be delayed, Gillis said.

Remember yesterday I said I had computer issues. Well I had to basically back track and delete all programs that would add things to my computer. When a blog or Facebook has add-ons they are sneaky. you roll across them and they can potentially have adware and malware attached. I have browsed the web to much and I had over 25 different potential threats in less than 24 hours.
I had a Facebook account which is no longer and a Pinterest account which is no longer. Had add-ons for weather and other things. They are all gone. At this point if your blog or any website has to many ads I'm not following them anymore. I think they were the culprit. We want to pay for our time and ads seem like the right thing, but I'm even thinking the blog itself isn't worth the frustration of having to deal with all this.
I have anti virus and malware programs in place and they are used on a scheduled and random basis. So I'm going to be cautious for awhile and see where all this leads me. I by no means am a computer geek. All this is hard for me to understand some days. Hopefully your computers are safe and free of all this stuff. Chris

He Is Legend: Richard Matheson 101
Richard Matheson is one of my favorite authors. For all the great science-fiction and horror he's written, I think his best book is a World War II novel title The Beardless Warriors. My friend Larry summed it up best that Matheson is a "deceptively simple" writer.
None of that analysis appears in this episode, but we do cover his cult-movie work.
Note: you can alseo watch the YouTube version which is 20 seconds longer.

Stop the Madness!
And so it ends! The Bachelor takes the route of safety and chooses the kindergarten teacher who lives down the block. I know it's supposed to be so special and such a "sign," etc., etc. that they came ALL THE WAY TO PARIS to meet each other, when they were right there all along! Yeah, yeah. It took two torturous hours to get there and it wasn't fun – even when fastforwarding through the commercials.
Can we please examine the chocolate covered macadamia nut for a moment? She is the walking poster child of girls who get so swept up in this crap that they completely lose all track of any sort of reason. She was existing on PURE emotion – that's it. All of her poetic ramblings indicate that she came on to the Bachelor just to get a free trip to Paris and she didn't care about the guy, and didn't care what happened, and on and on. Then at some magical point in time, known only to her, something totally clicked in her mind and she was lost forever after that. It's when she "saw her own soul reflected back to her." (How many times did we hear that?) So she decides that Travis is a big shining mirror and now she has given herself over completely to this idea. When Travis's sister asks, "What do you like about Travis?" It's the reflected soul thing. When Travis's parents ask, "Why do you connect with Travis?" She has no answer. None. Nothing about his personality, his sense of humor, his work ethic, even his HAIR, NOTHING. All she can ever come up with is that they have this super-duper-secret connection involving the reflection of her soul. Excuse me, but is there anything about this guy she likes? Is there anything about him she appreciates or finds useful? No. She just has this feeling that she has completely surrendered to. And the feeling is that she sees herself in him. That's not that much to go on, if you ask me. It's a reason to go on a second date, but not a reason to turn over your entire life. She has also clearly disregarded the fact that Travis is also dating someone else. Granted, that doesn't normally happen, and granted, this is a cruel setup designed to make a total fool out of most involved parties, but she has totally forgotten everything. The producers should be high-fiving each other in the background because the plan WORKED on Moana. They took her out of her everyday life, away from contact with humans, media, entertainment, everything. They gave her several weeks with nothing to focus on but Travis. And she was ready to drink poison KoolAid for him. That's what this is all about. This is what they want. They want to lure these girls into being totally in love with someone they barely know and then yank the rug out from under them in front of the world. It's so unnatural and so unkind, and yet girls keep signing up. So here's Moana, wanting nothing more than a free trip to Paris, and what happens? She gets a glimpse of "her own soul reflected back to her," and suddenly it's much more serious. Suddenly all of her perceptions become reality and when the rug is yanked, it's really yanked. After all, he's been having these conversations with other people, too, whether Moana chooses to acknowledge it or not. How could she be so wrong? How could something she was so sure of be so wrong? Oh honey, so many things about this are wrong, it's impossible to count. Did you know that this has been a long journey for her? Did you know that she has totally found herself in Paris? Did you know that she's never seen "her own soul reflected back to her" like this? Did you know it's all a giant sham?
Ok, I've examined her for more than a moment. I just felt so bad for her at the end. She was so convinced - SO CONVINCED that what she was feeling went for both of them. On the one hand, it's so sad because she was led to believe that this was a real relationship, but on the other hand, she lost sight of everything and let herself forget the reality of the situation. I don't even understand how the winners of these things ever get past watching everything that went on with everyone who didn't win! Shame on all of them!
Kay - I'm now inviting you, Gnomecorp, to write about the other half, the WINNING half of this episode. What was Sarah thinking? Was she more reasonable than Moana (not a hard thing to be), or was she just lucky? Or unlucky? Is she just boring enough for Travis? More practical? Less soul reflecting going on? Easier? Better suited? What are your thoughts?

THE new mayor of Rhondda Cynon Taf has outlined his fundraising vision for youngsters with heart problems as he begins a key year in office.
Coun Doug Williams, who was involved in the astonishing fundraising effort for Glyncoch's new community centre, is also keen to open the office of Mayor to new audiences.
The father-of-two and grandfather-of-six has chosen CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) as his chosen charity for the next 12 months, which offers lifesaving tips to children and young people with cardiac problems.
He will also promote important issues surrounding Prostate Cancer and Cystic Fibrosis.
Coun Williams, who was born and raised in the Rhydyfelin, Cilfyndd and Glyncoch areas, will be accompanied during his year in office by his wife and Consort, Carol.
He will also be supported by Deputy Mayor Coun Ann Crimmings, from Aberdare, and her Consort, son Gavin.
Coun Williams said: "I am already passionate about the community within which I live, Glyncoch, and am proud to see the developments taking place as residents and organisations come together and deliver exciting new schemes for the future.
"I am looking forward to seeing similar work across the county borough and am particularly excited about the opportunities my role as Mayor presents, when it comes to raising awareness of the charities I have chosen for my year in office.
"I am already planning work in schools to raise awareness of cardiac issues among the young, including testing that could save a life.
"I also want to bring together individuals and organisations that are already affected by, interested in or fundraising for my chosen causes, so we can share our efforts.
"What is also important is that everyone gets involved with their Mayor and I would love to hear from people who want to get involved, ideas for events and fundraising."
Also working closely with the First Citizen will be Youth Mayor, 16-year-old Jenna Claridge.
The Beddau teenager studies at Bryncelynnog Comprehensive School.
Her deputy is 20-year-old Sam Akintioye, a former Mountain Ash Comprehensive student now studying IT at the University of Glamorgan.
The positions of Youth Mayor and Deputy Youth Mayor have been created as part of the Council's attempt to engage young people in the democratic process.
They will shadow the Mayor and Deputy Mayor throughout the year, attend youth-orientated visits, charity fundraisers and event openings.

They say in a marriage you have to laugh. Well that's easy for me since I laugh at everything I see. People slipping on iced sidewalks, the dog falling down the stairs, stupid drivers turning down a one way street...the wrong way. Laughing is part of who I am. And Justin making me laugh is part of who he is.
But sometimes it's just easier to laugh at others, especially when they are being humiliated on cable t.v.
Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, or MXC as we call it, is basically a real life version of Super Mario Brothers. Or at least that's how Justin and I describe it. It has obstacle courses with zany stunts that most of the participants can't finish. They usually land in sludge, water or nets. Or they just slip on their asses or get hit in the head. No matter what, it's hilarious.
Based in Japan during the mid to late 80's, Takeshi's Castle was a popular game show/reality show that featured ordinary Japanese citizens who's mission was to complete the various physical stunts. Stunts like Sinkers and Floaters,Wall Bangers, Rotating Surf Board of Death, Ball Busters (Justin's favorite), Dope on a Rope and Log Drop (my favorite).
Obviously the stunt names are not the real names in the show since it's dubbed in English with crazy and possibly fake story lines. They make up names of contestants like Babaganoosh (a different baba in every episode), 59 cent, Danny Glands and Ryan Seachest.
The laugh factor is the stunts themselves. The contestants try and most fail. They fall in unusual positions. Most look like they get hurt, but they get up and walk away. They get hit in the head or other areas that you know hurt. They hang on for dear life and yet they still fall. Some make it amazingly and we are amazed. And the best part of this is they are only wearing helmets. And most of the time they come off! Obviously this type of standard would not be allowed in the U.S. because our nature to sue if we get hurt. But these people are there for whatever prize they are seeking. It could be the prize of humiliation because I'm still laughing at the guy who tried to do a back flip but didn't quite make it...he landed on his head.
Justin and I watch MXC every day and we laugh every day. Even when you don't want to, you do. Laughing is the best medicine for everything. And I thinks it's probably safer than landing on your head.

I try, I really do, but I just can't understand your and Justins fascination with this show. Not that I think any less of you for it or anything. Lord knows I watch some reprehensible TV. I just don't get it.

Happy March 1st!
I don't know about you guys, but I always love the feeling of the first of the month. There's something motivating about it that always makes me feel good.
When I was in my addiction to food, the 1st of the month always felt like torture (especially if it fell on a Monday). I had a habit of telling myself that I would "Start Fresh" on the First... and it usually set up a lot of pressure that I just couldn't keep up with or amount to and I end up craving sugar, with a face full of food and eventually eliminating what I ate which only lead to hateful speech with myself, self loathing and punishing myself for another 30 days until the next "First of the Month" came along.
Thankfully, today, I am looking forward to another month to set some goals. But first I want to look back on what I accomplished in February.
1. I stayed consistent and didn't miss a single workout this month
2. I ran a 10 miler, and didn't die!
3. I ran over 106 miles this month
4. I ran a 30+ mileage week
5. I started blogging again
Goals for the month of March!
1. Continue to stay consistent with my workouts and my training. (IE- not skipping out on workouts)
2. Volunteer/ Spectate for the LA Marathon
3. Finish my Half Marathon on March 26th. I dont really NEED a PR, but it would be nice
4. Be able to register for my next half marathon
5. Get my CEU's done and submit my hours for licensure. (this is a non running goal, but super important to me right now.
6. Run 115 miles this month
7. Actually practice recovery after my race
Today was another really tough day for me emotionally. I woke up in the middle of the night from a really bad dream about my mom and just could not get back to sleep. Grief is an absolutely horrible things sometimes and today was one of those days. I knew that I was not going to be benefiting myself if I went out and tried to run 6 miles at race pace. I initially wanted to completely give up on myself and just not get up and workout. Enter Goal #1 for March.
In the past, I would have totally stayed in bed, not worked out, been really mad at myself and used it as motivation to be really horrible to myself (emotionally and with food) later on in the day. Instead, I reminded myself that I AM ADAPTABLE. Just because I had a number on the schedule doesn't mean I had to complete it. I allowed myself to sleep in a little bit and decided to do a short easy run today instead and will complete today's workout tomorrow.
I ended up running 3.75 miles at an 8:40 pace and felt much better through the rest of the day.
I had planned on writing more tonight, but after hearing I had a tough day, Adam surprised me and is staying home tonight to give me some emotional support. I'm going to go spend some quality time with him and will check back in with you guys soon.
Be Well

Green Tea Great For Health And An Excess Weight Reducer
If you want to lose weight then it is important that you learn how to follow a healthy diet. There are plenty of diet plans on the market that will tell you what to eat, but if their plan doesn't include a variety of healthy foods, then forget it. You can lose weight and eat healthy at the same time.
You will be eating five small meals a day. Fortunately, you will not go hungry while on this plan. Their website even has interactive software and illustrations of recommended exercises.Meals consist of lean proteins, low-fat dairy, whole grains, protein powder, minimal fats and lots of green veggies. Each mini-meal will include a balanced proportion of carbohydrates, fat and protein.
Short weight loss diets, work different. They are designed to increase the metabolism as effectively as possible and as fast as possible. Again there are free and paid short diets. Very effective quick Weight Loss Plans often don't const any money, and can often be downloaded for free. There are no samples of those diets however, because it is not possible, to shorten such diets to samples, as healthy food delivered they already are tremendously short.
One of the main features of the program is the online diet generator which gives you the option of choosing either a vegetarian or regular diet plan. At the onset of the program, you are asked to choose some of your favorite foods that will later be used as a foundation for your 11-Fitness Meal Plans.
The contestants on the biggest loser have that advantage. They are fully examined and are sat down at told there realistic age of their body. They are shown what their organs look like compared to a normal organ. They are shown why they are going to die at a much earlier age than a normal life span. That gives them a good start on the meal plans delivered mindset needed to go through a serious weight loss plan and then to continue to diet. The other half of the mindset is they are asked to write down all the reasons they want to get healthy and live a long life. Once a person has good reasons to live longer and is shown the reasons why that won' t happen the mindset is in place. That is an important part to a long lasting lifestyle change.
In calorie shifting, you will have a great number of food choices to eat. As a matter of fact, since you are not restricted to a certain caloric intake per day, you can eat anything that you like. The only catch is that you have to make up for the great number of caloric intake on another day by having calories in smaller amounts.
Most diet plans for women over 50 to lose weight fast for men or women, recommend that you take a diet which is devoid of fast foods and fried foods. So, you do the same. Give up on pizzas, burgers, hot dogs and pastas as they are all high calorie foods.
A natural body builder, Tom is probably one of the first health experts to truly capitalize from exposure on the net and his book has been a best seller for years. His book offers fitness plans for the hard core body builder and for those looking to lose a lot of weight.
front page
The day is divided into 4 meals that should be eaten at a minimum of 2 1/2 hours apart. There is no calorie or carb counting, no limit on portion size - You "just eat short of being full". After the 11 day meal plan there is a 3 day "cheat" - where you get to eat whatever you want. Then you are back into the 11 day plan again.

Question about Epson Stylus DX4850 All-In-One InkJet Printer
Parts inside your computer are near the end of their service life see your printer documentation is this expensive to fix is it worth the expense
Posted by robbkim_carr on
Like most Epson inkjet printers this message is to warn you that the waste ink pads are expected to be in need of replacement soon.
The options open to you are:
The latter is much more cost effective and you can either source the parts for a tank yourself of purchase one of the kits available on ebay or in a number of other stores including my own :)
The reset utility is available via mediafire but you MUST scan it thoroughly for any trojans, virus or other malware before you attempt to use it. Then, if all is clean, check the instructions in detail and follow them carefully.
All in all, it's about half an hour to an hour of your time to complete this for the first time.
Hope that lot helps.

i'm jumping around a bit in time here as i'm trying to catch up with thoughts and posts i really wanted to write during the exhibition but didn't have time to start, let alone finish. but new and exciting things are happening daily and so this is an immediate response to a private view i've just been to a few hours ago.
on august 30th (a few posts ago) i wrote about meeting and chatting to a young soldier due back in afghanistan. tonight i went to the opening of 'art action: living with ptsd' at the poly, falmouth. it's an exhibition of artwork by combat veterans who are experiencing post traumatic stress disorder and there's also work by their wives and friends.
what was great about this private view was that there were brief talks by jayne howard, the director of 'arts for health cornwall', rich emerson from 'surf action' and one of the founding artists, steve woods who manages their art studio at heartlands. these two charities have worked together to facilitate this exhibition and it was really interesting to hear a little of the background story. the aim is to raise awareness of ptsd and to highlight the work of 'surf action' in supporting people with this condition.
it was inspiring to hear how the art group gradually evolved from getting veterans together to go surfing. steve woods also explained that images within the pieces had not been painted in order to shock but to help the sufferer expel them from their mind.
i couldn't help thinking about the young soldier i met on the train...... and what his fate will be.
|'escape' by ian wilkes, combat veteran- concrete and slate
and a poem by "a wife of a soldier with ptsd".
I Have Never Been to War........
I have never been to war
I have never held a gun
But I feel the repercussions
I have never smelt the burning
But I can see the fear
I have never heard machine gun fire
But I can see the shake it causes
I have never been to war.
I have never fought for my country
But I can see the scars it leaves
I have never been a soldier
But I hear the marching of his dreams
I have never been on a battlefield
But I feel like I am on enemy lines
I have never been to war
But I live through it every day.

Day 1: Sakhalin Island, Port of Korsakov
This morning, we will all congregate at the Mega Palace Hotel and take a coach transfer to the Port of Korsakov some 40 minutes south of the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk where staff will be on hand to welcome you to the Spirit of Enderby. There will be briefings and introductions to the ship, staff and crew after we have departed and we will also take the opportunity to conduct a number of safety briefings however we'll aim to keep these as short as possible to allow you ample time to settle into your cabin and get out on deck to look for seabirds.
As we cruise south-east across the Sea of Okhotsk our first seabirds could well include Tufted Puffin, Ancient Murrelet, Pelagic Cormorant, Black-tailed Gull and Fork-tailed Storm-Petrel. We are also likely to see huge flocks of Shorttailed Shearwaters. We are also likely to encounter our first cetacenas of the voyage and these could include Dall's Porpoise, Northern Mike Whale and Orca (Killer Whale).
*Please note the departure 28 May 2019 will operate in the reverse direction where passengers will embark in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy and disembark in Port of Korsakov.
Day 2: Kunashir Island
We expect to be at sea during the early part of the morning but there should be plenty of birds about and potential new species could include Rhinoceros Auklet, Brunnich's Guillemot and Slaty-backed Gull. The very rare Short-tailed Albatross has also been seen here on previous expeditions.
By late morning, we expect to be ashore and exploring in the Kurilsky Reserve where with the assistance of the local rangers we will enjoy some walks. The reserve covers an extensive area of woodland and the species we could encounter include Latham's Snipe, Oriental Turtle-Dove, Oriental Cuckoo, Japanese Bush-Warbler, Eastern Crowned Warbler, Narcissus and Brown lycatchers, Siberian Stonechat and Long-tailed Rosefinch. Overhead and along a nearby river, we should find good numbers of White-tailed Eagle. We will also be on the lookout for two special species that occur in the reserve, namely Blakiston's Fish-Owl and Crested Kingfisher. By late afternoon we will be back on the Spirit of Enderby and heading towards Iturup Island.
Day 3: Iturup Island
This morning we land at the small settlement of Kurilsk from where local buses/trucks will take us into the volcanic highlands to thermal hot pools where you can enjoy a soak or go birding. Possible species include Kamchatka Leaf-warbler, Japanese Robin, Siberian Accentor, Pine Grosbeak and Japanese Bush-warbler.
Day 4: Urup and Chirpoy Islands
This morning we explore Urup Island, it is a chance to stretch your legs on an extended walk, beachcomb and look for Sea Otters or birds in the forest behind the beach. This afternoon depending on weather we will either Zodiac cruise or land on Chirpoy Island where there are some dramatic volcanic landscapes and headlands covered in breeding seabirds.
Day 5: Simushir and Yankicha Islands
We will enter a flooded caldera at the northern end of Simushir Island where a once top secret Soviet submarine base lies abandoned. In the surrounding area look for Siberian Rubythroat, Eurasian Nutcracker, Pine Grosbeak and Japanese Grey Bunting. Our visit to Yankicha Island is likely to be one of the highlights of the voyage as the number of alcids which breed here is incredible, with spectacular concentrations of Crested and Whiskered Auklets.
Day 6: Toporkovy Islands and Matua Island
This morning at Toporkovy Island in the shadow of the active Matua Island volcano we can expect to find Harlequin Ducks, Red-faced Cormorants, Tufted Puffins and Brunnich's Guillemots. Ashore we could encounter Grey-tailed Tattler, Middendorff's Grasshopper Warbler and Black-faced Bunting.
Day 7: Onekotan and Atlasova Islands
This morning on Onekotan Island we can stretch our legs through an amazing field of wild flowers as we walk to Black Lake. Our landing on Atlasova Island is great for birders and non birders alike. There are the remains of a Gulag to explore and numerous species to see. Later today we will pass through Second Kuril Strait which has one of the highest densities of Sea Otters in the Kuril Islands.
Day 8: Bukhta Russkaya, Kamchatka
In this deep fiord on the Kamchatka Peninsula we will look for the endangered Kittlitz's Murrelet as well as Long-billed Murrelet. We plan a short excursion at the head of the fiord where there is a chance of seeing brown bears. At the entrance to the fiord where we can Zodiac cruise there are almost always Orcas and Steller Sea Lions.
Day 9: Zhupanova River, Kamchatka
We will spend several hours in the Zodiacs cruising on the scenic Zhupanova River where we should get great looks at Steller's Sea Eagles as the birds often nest in the trees adjacent to the river. Other highlights could include Far Eastern Curlew, Long-toed Stint, Kamchatka Gull and Aleutian Tern. There is also a major salmon fishery on the river which we can visit.
Days 10 to 11: Commander Islands
There are two main islands in the Commander group, Bering and Medny, and during our two days we will explore several sites combining the best of the natural and cultural history. There is an excellent chance of finding Rock Sandpiper, Mongolian Plover, Pechora Pipit and Grey-crowned Rosy-Finch, as well as the endemic subspecies of Arctic Fox. Zodiac cruising can be extremely rewarding here with several species of auklets as well as the Red-legged Kittiwake. The area is also extremely rich in marine mammals. Potential species include Sperm, Humpback, Northern Minke and Baird's Beaked-Whales, as well as Orcas, Steller Sea Lions, Northern Fur Seals and Pacific Sea Otters. We include a visit to the small settlement of Nikolskoye and the local museum.
Day 12: At Sea
As we cruise across the Kamchatka Trench towards Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy we will keep a look out for the cetaceans that this area is well known for. It is a good time to be on deck as the birding can be good, but we will also need to wrap the expedition, so there will be recaps and formalities to attend to. This evening there will be a farewell dinner.
Day 13: Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy
During the night the Spirit of Enderby will enter Avacha Bay which is one of the greatest natural harbours in the world. There will be a complimentary transfer to the airport or to a central downtown hotel.

I remember coming across this image of a vintage leather Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair in a magazine ages ago... for years it haunted me because I didn't tear it out and then I could never find it again (you know that frustration of discovering something perfect but then not being able to locate it). But yesterday, while looking for something entirely unrelated, there it was! I couldn't believe it! So in celebration of Friday and all that is wonderful about the happiest working day of the week, here is THE chair to drool over....

This is probably a little late - I see these posts are from '09 but this exact chair is for sale right now at Danish Modern LA in Silver Lake (Los Angeles, CA) - if you're still swooning over it! I just noticed it in the window this week and happened upon your blog and made the connection.
It is awfully pretty!
