minus 12C today (daytime) and supposed to be colder tomorrow. Must get out and have a walk in the snow tomorrow
Ermmmmmmm, well no snow for us However it is unreasonably chilly (low 60s during the day and low 40s at night but it seems colder since it was in the 80s!!!!). Infact I have had to resort to TWO duvets at night (OH still wants all the windows open all the time - Grrr). Damn weather is all over the place this year. Time for another
Life is uncertain ………… eat dessert first!
lol....well its a little icy here , the drains have frozen , the ice is on the inside of the windows ( the joys of single glazed social housing) and the kids are on a major winge .
I so love winter sundays , the one hour rule still applies to the heating so they have to decide if they want it on now or tonight , little point in putting it on now because this house is a prefab with 4 inch walls that have no insulation . ive got a big batch of freezer baking to do , which at least warm up the kitchen, so i would imagine they will clear off out to friends who have heating they can afford to run ....maybe being skint has it plus points...lol
Well at the moment there is an absolute blizzard outside and in 2 hours I have to go to the Village Hall as we are holding a Car Boot Sale. If this continues I may not get out of here and I am running the main stall. Thankfully we can be indoors but I cannot see people coming out for it in this weather. I have already had one stall holder on the phone doubtful about coming and who can blame her.
Old teachers never die, they just lose their class
Well we cancelled the Boot Sale. This is why.
Very beautiful but not to be ventured out in. I am staying close to the fire today ( well apart from having some fun in the snow with the dogs)
Stay cosy everyone
Old teachers never die, they just lose their class
danast said:
It is just not stopping and indeed is very heavy at times. I don't think I will get out of here anytime soon.
I know it's really bad at your end, talking to pals on FB from Greenock/Gourock, my old neighbour in Wemyss Bay is freaking that she can't get to work tonight, she's a sister in high dependancy at Inverclyde, dodgy
It snowed here overnight Friday/Saturday, then we had a sunny but very cold day yesterday. It was glorious but cold again this morning (not above zero since Friday) but this afternoon around 3.30 the light changed colour and I thought, 'ey-up, more snow'. Sure enough, by 4 we had thick snow falling. OH and I had agreed to go sample the German Xmas Market in the city as a treat, so we suited and booted and set off for the 2 mile walk to the cash machine, so we could catch a bus for the remaining 5 miles into the city. We looked like Yeti by the time we got there, but we had a lovely time wandering around the stalls, drinking gluehwein and eating hot food. Ran out of cash so only came home with half a Pfeffersalami (I wanted to buy a couple of different ones, but wallet did not allow). We managed to get a bus back to the cashpoint but had to walk the rest as the one bus to the village was not due for ages. So we had a nice bracing walk in the cold each way, passed a huge dog fox in a field near home who watched us curiously as we passed, the only humans on foot in the blizzard. Now drinking single malt and expecting to have to walk to work tomorrow as the idiots on the roads will be doing 5 mph and it will be quicker to walk than get OH to drop me off as usual!
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and taste good with ketchup.
Well its snowing merrily , the ice is a nightmare and ive just shovelled everyone out the door to various locations . im not at work till lunch time and its so cold that im shivering indoors despite the wooly hat and thermals, got some snow clearing to do so at least that will warm me up , trip down to mother in laws shes in her 70s and has only a single coal fire in the house so we have to go and fetch her coal in, plus shell want extra bread and milk..lol ...yet another example of the high quality social housing in the fens
Kaye, has your MiL got everything she's entitled to? Cavity wall insulation, and loft insulation?
My Mum lives in a semi-bungalow, and the next door neighbours have just moved in. When said lady came round for a cuppa, she remarked on how warm Mum's place was compared to her own, so Mum told her all about the insulation ...... lady has just had the loft insulated!
and cosy blankets to your MiL.
I live in my own little world,
but it's okay, they know me here!
Dont get me on the subject of all the grants that are available, they are not however available to tenants except with the permission of landlords , private landlords see it as increasing the value of their property so many will agree, councils however can be a right royal pain , after all we have adequate insulation , all our homes are far better than we deserve as we are the scrounging class and if the fact theres no double glazing , insulation etc is a problem ,we can of course move out .
Puts away soap box , crawls back into her filling cabinet ,apologises for ranting , sorry folks

Photo Shoot
Ghost Chairs
Romantic Vintage
Ivory Lavender Light Pink Purple
Calla Lily Dusty Miller Lilac Rice Flower Rose
For all of you lovelies out there in SMP-land who happen to adore soft purple hues and lush bundles of lilacs like it's no one's business, this romantic photo shoot from the geniuses at Divine Weddings & Events is for you. Or as I like to call it, a "serious lesson in lilac perfection" brought to you by a dream team of Canadian vendors (ahem, Little Flower Shop) and one glorious moment after another captured by Sugar and Soul Photography. Get your pretty on right here, right now in the full gallery.
From Divine Weddings… My Beloved Is Mine and I am His – a whimsical styled shoot inspired by Spring and true love. Lush lilacs were used in an outdoor setting as the main floral element. The bouquet used lilacs, roses, calla lilies, rice flower, hydrangea and dusty miller. The model wore a lace gown, a 1930's inspired veil and vintage jewelry.
The table design combined modern and romantic touches. The unique placing of the tables gave the perfect opportunity to showcase a stunning dramatic centerpiece. Ferns were added to the table to bring in a whimsical element, and the satin lilac linens and ghost chairs were the perfect modern touch. Vintage dinnerware added that romantic feel, along with the customized stationery.
The cake was designed to be simple but with the perfect amount of pretty – placed on a vintage dresser underneath a weeping willow, with a chandelier hung over the top, it was a lovely addition to this outdoor setting.
We wanted the ceremony to have a magical feel – so champagne draping and lilacs filled the space. Nothing brings an intimate feel to a ceremony more then being surrounded by the love of your family and friends – so the layout was designed to have guests seated around the main chuppah on all sides, surrounding the couple in love.

Rooney would be wise to stay away from jinxed nightclub
Panacea nightclub – popular amongst housewives?
Fans of Greek mythology will already be well aware that Panacea was the goddess of healing. But did you know that she is also a popular Manchester wine bar which Wayne Rooney would be very wise to avoid in future?
His late night antics have been all over today's Sun newspaper. Antics which include the disappointing England man taking a long drag on a tasty cig, and seemingly enjoying an early morning wee against a wheelie bin.
Reports seem to suggest that Capello/Ferguson will be utterly enraged by his big night out, which found him partying very hard indeed until 5.30am – largely considered to be just half an hour before the cock crows.
Interestingly, it's not the first time that Rooney has found himself in a spot of bother at Panacea, shortly after a disappointing World Cup.
Last time around, in 2006 – following his sending off against Portugal - Rooney found himself in some piping hot water after thumping Blackburn defender, Michael Gray, in the face, after he had reportedly suggested a threesome with the future Mrs Rooney, Coleen.
The Spoiler's advice, Wayne – find another dreamy wine bar to urinate against in 2014.

Subject: Stop Congress from fomenting another war
We rarely send you action items on Saturday. We're doing so today because the House appears likely to vote on a bad resolution early next week. If you oppose starting a war with Iran then we must act now to oppose House Concurrent Resolution 362.
This resolution has 169 co-sponsors, including 77 Democrats and 92 Republicans. The resolution calls on President Bush to . . .
- Create an international blockade of Iran to prevent it from importing the refined gasoline it needs to run its economy
- Subject all cargo entering or leaving Iran to stringent inspections
- Tighten economic sanctions against Iran
- Violate international treaties by prohibiting Iranian officials not involved in negotiating the suspension of Iran's nuclear program from travelling abroad.
House Concurrent Resolution 362 is a major step toward war. It would reduce the opportunity for a negotiated settlement with Iran, and even worse, President Bush could take this resolution as a sign that he has Congressional support to attack Iran before he leaves office.
Look, we don't like Iran's government any better than anyone else does, but we do like the Iranian people, and they like us (America). An attack on Iran could turn the Iranian people against us, and further cement the Iranian government in power. It would also further radicalize the Muslim world and increase the threat of terrorism.
Our government overreacted to the supposed threat of WMD in Iraq, and now it's doing the same thing with Iran. Our so-called leaders seem never to learn. They just careen from one disaster to the next. So the real leadership must come from us.
Please send a message to Congress today promoting expanded negotiations with Iran. Use your personal comments to ask your representatives to oppose House Concurrent Resolution 362. You can send your message here.
Thank you for being a part of the growing Downsize DC Army.

Carbon nanotubes: are they dispersed or dissolved in liquids?

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) constitute a novel class of nanomaterials with remarkable applications in diverse domains. However, the main intrincsic problem of CNTs is their insolubility or very poor solubility in most of the common solvents. The basic key question here is: are carbon nanotubes dissolved or dispersed in liquids, specifically in water? When analyzing the scientific research articles published in various leading journals, we found that many researchers confused between "dispersion" and "solubilization" and use the terms interchangeably, particularly when stating the interaction of CNTs with liquids. In this article, we address this fundamental issue to give basic insight specifically to the researchers who are working with CNTs as well asgenerally to scientists who deal with nano-related research domains.
Among the various nanomaterials, CNTs gained widespread attention owing to their exceptional properties, good chemical stability, and large surface area [1, 2]. CNTs are extremely thin tubes and feature an extremely enviable combination of mechanical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties. Their size, shape, and properties construct them as prime contenders for exploiting the growth of a potentially revolutionary material for diverse applications.
Nevertheless, the main intrinsic drawback of CNTs is their insolubility or extremely poor solubility in most of the common solvents due to their hydrophobicity, thus creating it tricky to explore and understand the chemistry of such material at the molecular level and device applications. Though diverse approaches [3] have been introduced to improve the dispersion of CNTs in different solvents including water, challenges still remain in developing simple, green, facile, and effective strategies for a large-scale production of CNT dispersions. To this end, in many studies a wide range of agents have been used. To give a few examples: solvents [4], biopolymers [5], and surfactants [6]. Meanwhile, when analyzing the scientific research articles published in various leading journals, regarding the dispersion of CNTs, it is really puzzling owing to the usage of different terminologies with respect to the dispersion of CNTs. Most of the studies indicated "dispersion"; however, considerable quantities of articles were published with the term "solubilization", which can be evidently seen from the literature analysis [7]. Hence, many researchers confound "dispersion" and "solubilization" and use the terms interchangeably, especially when describing the interaction of CNTs with solvents. Many scientists have mentioned that CNTs can be "solubilized in water or organic solvents" by means of polymers and/or surfactants, which is ambiguous. It is evident that there is, as a result of that, a lot of confusion regarding this fundamental matter. The basic and fundamental key question here is: are CNTs dissolved or dispersed in a liquid?
Basically, "dispersion" and "solubilization" are different phenomena. Dispersion and solubilization can be defined as "a system, in which particles of any nature (e.g., solid, liquid, or gas) are dispersed in a continuous phase of a different composition (or state)" [8] and a "process, by which an agent increases the solubility or the rate of dissolution of a solid or liquid solute" [9], respectively. Hence, in general, the dispersion of solute particles in solvents leads to the formation of colloids or suspensions, and solutions may be obtained as a result of solubilization of solute molecules or ions in the specified solvent. Furthermore, dispersion is mostly related to solute particles, whereas solubility or solubilization is generally connected with solute molecules or ions.
The main differences between a colloid and a solution are: A solution is homogenous and remains stable and does not separate after standing for any period of time. Further it cannot be separated by standard separation techniques such as filtration or centrifugation. A solution looks transparent and it can transmit the light. Also, solutions contain the solute in a size at the molecular or ionic level, typically less than 1 nm or maximum a few nm in all dimensions. A colloid is a mixture with particles sizes between 1 and 1000 nm in at least one dimension. It is opaque, non-transparent, and the particles are large enough to scatter light. Colloids are not as stable as solutions and the dispersed particles (comparatively larger-sized particles) may be conveniently separated by standard separation techniques such as (ultra)centrifugation or filtration. Frequently, dispersed particles in colloidal systems may slowly agglomerate owing to inter-particle attractions over prolonged periods of time and, as a result, colloidal dispersions may form flocs or flakes.
Therefore, "solubilization" is a process to achieve a stable solution, whereas "dispersion" is a form of colloidal system. Here we conclude that the mixture obtained by using CNTs and a liquid medium (water or organic solvents) with or without surfactants or polymers is a dispersion of CNTs in the medium, but not a solution. Further, in our opinion, one cannot solubilize CNTs in water or organic solvents. Hence, we recommend to restrict the use of the term "solubilization" or "solution," instead we should use the term "dispersion" or "colloid," when dealing with CNTs. Further, we think that this should be also applicable for nanoparticles of comparable dimensions such as metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, polymer nanoparticles, etc., if the criteria of the definitions given above are fulfilled.
In short, the term "dispersion" should exclusively be used as far as CNTs are concerned, and the use of the term "solution" should be avoided or restricted.

WHAT SHE'S WEARING: "I'm wearing a khaki shirt from the Swedish clothing company Gina Tricot. The harem pants are from H&M, as well as the sunglasses and the white tank top underneath the shirt. The jewelry is vintage and so is the brown leather belt (I found it in my mom's closet)."
SWEDISH SOUL:** "I'm in love with several Swedish designers, such as Acne, Whyred, and Diana Orving at the moment. They have such a young, fresh mind when it comes to creating new styles! I love designers who pick so-called "old trends" and make them into something new. I also have a blog where I post pictures and write about my daily life. Check it out here!"

"It is always hard when you end, but overall I think we have a lot to be proud of. We have three seniors that played their hearts out for us, but we are primarily a young team. There is a lot to be excited for next year," said coach Paul Zink.
The two teams were all tied up at the half, with 14 each, but Walsh struck hard in the third quarter to take the lead and Caliche could not catch up to the two scores they put up.
In the fourth, Austin Yahn threw his only completed pass of the day on a three-yard strike to Jayden Stieb for a score. A two-point conversion run-in by Chase Debus made it a 28-24 game.
"After that we were just trying to strip the ball and get it back. We needed a score," Zink said.
Instead, Walsh sealed the deal with a final score.
The Buffs struck first in the contest, taking a 6-0 lead in the first quarter on a 15-yard reception from Mitch Davison to Dakota Kingsley, followed by a failed two-point try.
Walsh tied things up with their own score before Davison ran in a score on a three-yard carry and Yahn ran in the two points to take the 14-6 lead. The Eagles then tied the game up with a score in the second -- their first of three unanswered touchdowns spanning the half.
Davison had 11 carries for 101 yards. Austin Zink had 10 carries for 42 yards. Debus had nine carries for 51 yards and Austin Yahn had four carries for 14 yards.
Davison was also 11-for-16 in the passing game for 128 yards. Kingsley caught two for 21 yards, Yahn reeled in two for 13, Debus had three catches for 12 yards, Bret Quint caught three for a staggering 75 yards and Santos Flores caught one for seven yards.
Yahn had one pass to Stieb for 11 yards.
On defense, Yahn led the team with 11 tackles. Zink and Debus each had six.
Jordan Troester had a fumble recovery to round out the effort.
Troester, Jared Wagner and Chad Borths are the three seniors on the roster who have ended their time as Buffs football players.
"Those three guys have done a good job being leaders," said Zink.
Caliche ends with a 7-3 overall record.

"The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret" is a new IFC original mini-series created by and starring "Arrested Development's" David Cross as an office temp and liar named Todd Margaret. Margaret bluffs his
way into a senior sales position heading up the London office for the
new energy drink called Thunder Muscle
"He's just one of those guys who floats through life, very little ambition, can't really stick to anything," Cross tells Zap2it. "Probably the kind of guy who will spend way more energy getting out of a job than actually doing that job. Every five or six months or so, he comes across a great idea that is going to make him a million dollars and save him time, and after starting this project, maybe three days later he stops. He's that kind of guy."
In the London office, Margaret's assistant Dave (Blake Harrison) only helps to fuel the antics.
"He loves to mess with him, he loves to wind Todd up," says Harrison. "He likes to encourage all the crazy, harebrained ideas that Todd has and watch how they play out, watch as they fail spectacularly."
We said that he sounds a bit like the Jim to Margaret's Michael Scott and Harrison agreed that it wasn't a bad comparision, but that there isn't quite the same level of affection between Dave and Todd.
"There is some affection, deep down. Deep, deep down. But he has too much fun winding him up to let that get in the way," Harrison laughs.
Another person Margaret encounters in London is Alice, played by British actress Sharon Horgan. Alice is the "uninterested love interest."
"She's not a love interest … Todd thinks she's a love interest, let's put it that way. But whether she actually is … Todd hasn't had great luck with the ladies," says Cross.
The mini-series will air in six half-hour episodes and we wondered if that would complete the story of Todd Margaret.
"I have more stories planned out. It's not like 'Lost,' I know exactly where it's going to go, so I'd like to have more opportunities to tell them," Cross says. "I could do it in two more [six-part series], but I'd really like to have four."
"The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret" premieres Friday (Oct. 1) at 10 p.m. ET on IFC. Encores will be shown Tuesdays at 11 p.m. ET. Watch the clip below for a sneak peek.

For model-turned-actor Jacqueline Fernandes, there is no problem in working in multi-starrer films. The 27-year old, who visited HT City's office last week to promote her upcoming movie, Race 2, said, "I have absolutely no problem working in multi-starrers. They are fun and you get to work with some great actors on the set."
The Sri Lankan origin actor also had good things to say about co-star John Abraham. "When I first came to Mumbai, John was the first one who helped me settle down in the city. He is a hard worker and I learnt so much from him," she said.
The Housefull 2 star also revealed that she is very close to actors Sonam Kapoor and Asin Thottumkal. "We just have so much in common. We talk a lot, some of it is obviously gossip, plus we also discuss each others' roles." Interestingly, Jacqueline said that Sonam is her fashion guru. "I take a lot of advice from Sonam. She tells me what to wear and what not to wear."
While speaking on fashion, Jacqueline said it is very important for actors to look 'presentable'. "People take inspiration from you, they look up to you, so you have to be confident about your image all the time. You should be presentable. Having said that, one should not be someone they are not. They should be comfortable in what they wear," she said.

- Description
Blue Rocks is a tiny artist and fishing community just east of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. The picturesque area is known as "Lunenburg's answer to Peggy's Cove" (Peggy's Cove is the subject of another panorama of mine and reigns as the most photographed spot in Canada). This hand-held sunset panorama was taken at a small cove reached before the village. This region is known for some of the best sea kayaking on the South Shore of Nova Scotia because of all the interesting islands and inlets to explore.

Physical therapy can ease many of your MS symptoms and help you get around better.
It can help you with:
- Balance problems
- Trouble moving your body
- Feeling tired
- Finding an exercise routine that's right for you
- Pain
- Weakness
- Ways to save your energy
- Better ways to move or do everyday tasks
You may start working with a physical therapist right after you get a diagnosis. You can schedule follow-up appointments with her when you need them. Some hospitals have physical therapists on staff who specialize in MS treatment. You will need to ask your doctor for a formal referral, but check with other people who have MS for suggestions on where to go in your area.
On your first visit, your therapist will talk to you about your symptoms, see how well you can handle different tasks, and show you exercises you can do at home.
One to three sessions may be enough. On follow-up visits, you may learn:
- Stretches to prevent or ease muscle spasms
- Moves to keep muscles strong

Your therapist will also help you come up with a fitness program that's good for your strength and goals. Regular exercise helps with all types of MS, but it can be hard when you're tired or you get overheated easily. You'll learn how to work around these issues to get the most from your workouts.
Most therapists can give you more sessions to help you reach any specific goals you have, like overcoming a foot drag that slows your pace. Some may be able to come to your home to work with you.
If your MS symptoms make it hard to do your job, your therapist can take you through some tests and document the kind of trouble you're having. It's called a functional capacity evaluation. It measures whether you are able to work an 8-hour day and may help if you need to apply for Social Security disability benefits.

Why I Hate Being Accosted With Back-To-School Ads In July
I've been noticing that each year the back-to-school craze seems to begin earlier and earlier. Is this because unbeknownst to me (now that my kids are grown) school is starting in July?... Why then, must I be accosted with visions of notebooks and backpacks before I've even made a visit to the beach?

Instead, King said, Obama should praise athletes like former New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow, who openly acknowledges his religion on the field.
"We�ve got Tim Tebow who will kneel and pray to God on the football field. Meanwhile we have a professional athlete that decides he�s going to announce his sexuality, and he gets a personal call from the president of the United States to highlight the sexuality of a professional ballplayer," King said in a floor speech, first reported by liberal blog ThinkProgress.
The Iowa Republican argued the president's decision to publicly praise Collins and ignore Tebow would lead to culture being "undermined" and "divided." "The people over on this side take their followership from that kind of leadership. One notch at a time, American civilization, American culture, western civilization, western Judeo-Christiandom are eroded," King said.
http://www.sbnation.com/2013/5/14/43...-collins-videoAnd one notch at a time, [...] American civilization, American culture, Western civilization, Western Judeo-Christiandom, are eroded, and they're carrying out a plan that has been put in place, and thought out and advocated for almost, now, about 90 years ago.
Damn liberal media didnt give me the entire quote, so had to use 2 sites. Anyways, there appears to be another conspiracy. Also, for those that dont pay attention to this brave politican, King believes homosexuality is a completely socialist concept.
Think i got a decent amount of buzzwords in there, begin!

Now that Winter has finally come to the Pacific Northwest the wet days and cooler nights call for warm cozy foods. We've added organic soup stock to our menu as a quick and healthy way to make your own healthy soups or to warm you during your juice cleanse. Homemade stock is an incredible source of minerals and electrolytes and contains a number of substances with beneficial medicinal properties.
Nutritionist Barbara J. Rolls of the University of Pennsylvania Medical School has conducted over 250 clinical trials of soup in regulating appetite and food consumption. She has found that beginning any meal with a cup of soup curbs eaters appetites and cuts overall consumption by as much as 250 calories per meal.
Our soup stock is made from organic vegetables, contains no flavor enhancers like MSG or the 250 other names given to MSG. It is low in salt, slow simmered for rich flavor and super convenient. Gently heat for a warm liquid during your fast or add fresh vegetables and flavor for a quick homemade soup. It's slow food for us but a fast fix for you. Available in the Apothecary section of our shop.

It's easy to become wrapped up in the health claims of the food industry and it can definitely be confusing at times. Consumers are always looking for the quick and easy answer to living a long and healthy life. If you've come to our pages looking for the next big thing, a panacea, a quick fix, you've come to the wrong page. We encourage basic principles backed by scientific evidence that will take willpower, a bit of effort and, at times, a certain level of discomfort. Radiant health is something you work for each and everyday. Our juice gives our customers a low calorie, nutrient dense option filled with the elements that our body pulls from our earth to build the life we know. We believe in providing real, delicious food that supports overall health through intermittent fasting and a plant-based supplement to your diet.
Along with diet, it's important to move naturally. While yoga, weightlifting, and running marathons challenge the body and have their advantages, it is not entirely necessary to go to such extremes for optimal health. Weightlifting for the inflexible can injure joints and muscles. Yoga for the hyper flexible can lead to destabilization and endurance sports can accelerate the aging process if not spaced appropriately. What matters is that you move. Get out of the chair off of the couch and move. Stop looking for the path of lease resistance and use that resistance to train your body.
The path to healthy living is simple, as we learned from the centenarians in this Ted Talk. Have a reason to get out of bed every day and find a way to always love that reason or stay engaged with it. Find away to reduce, relieve, and release stress. Eat less food and limit meat consumption. Drink, party, and indulge only in moderation - the less you do the easier it is to reduce hedonistic indulgences from time to time. Build a loving and supportive social network full of people who inspire and encourage you to be the best you can possibly be.
Back in January, we were featured in the Seattle Weekly as an up-and-coming raw juice company in Seattle. Business has boomed even since then and things are better than ever. We still believe that the demand for raw juice in Seattle will gain momentum, and we're going to be at the forefront of the revolution!
We challenged a staff writer at the Stranger to take a five day juice fast. We knew it was risky but we felt so strongly about our juice that we decided to take a gamble. Sadly, Anna Minard did not enjoy the fast in the way we expected.
Juice and juice fasting is gaining in popularity and we have found it a great way to re-tune the body, suppress insulin secretion and reduce the taste for sugar. It's a pretty simple fact those that consume less calories more often than not are healthier people.
Anna Minard took our challenge more as a dare and less with the intention of changing her diet or observing her body without food. We don't encourage anyone embarking on a short-term fast as a dare. Your body will be giving signals of changes occurring (like acne and headaches) during your time without food. If your only concern is to get through the dare you may not be watching for these signals as a way to gauge what is taking place.
Much has be said about Anna's approach. Because her fast was not approached with any serious intention the outcome could be predicted. We are quite impressed she completed the fast although some commenters on the blog have argued the technicality of her completion because she consumed a bit of vegetable matter. We don't adhere to a strict dogma at Strawberry Moon we just encourage you to give your best shot at improving your health. Our main goal with the challenge was just to let people know that a few days without food can be done. Unfortunately we offered the challenge to someone who's main outcome was to entertain the public with high jinks. Her story and trails will not be the same for everyone.
Half way through the five day fast Anna ate an avocado. Her comments on that avocado are a bit closer to the stories we usually here from clients. Anna's avocado taste so good because a week of not eating combined with the "burn" of astringent green juice (with or without STI's) actually cleans fat off the tongue. The more you coat your tongue in fats, sugars, salt and chemical additives the bigger your food "experience" must become. Thus making you need more sugar, salt and fat to enjoy food.
There is a bit of truth in Anna's assessing that "the science on juice cleansing is spotty", and Anna is right; your liver does exist to filter out toxins so do your kidneys, lymph system and lungs. Our body is always cleansing itself. Every breath you take is a release of carbon dioxide, a waste gas that can be toxic. Sweat is a known excretory system for metals and waste.
However, to say that your liver "doesn't need a break" is an absurd statement. If an alcoholic went to a doctor for cirrhosis of the liver would a doctor say keep drinking because your liver does not need a break it will just filter out the toxins? A good Dr would not! She'll tell you to stop drinking. Is a smoker with emphysema told to keep smoking because the lungs don't need a break? Only a Dr. at Phillip Morris. If our organs will filter out all the sugar, alcohol, fats and chemicals we consume then why are obesity, diabetes, cancer and psychological deviations at an all-time high?
Anna mentions that "people who cleanse talk a lot about toxins" but failed to mention that we were not those people. We do, however, like to talk about enzymes because enzymes are not crap. Dr. Edward Howell has studied enzymes and his work surmises that heavy consumption of an enzymeless diet leads to lavish secretions from the pancreas resulting in shortened life span, illness and lowered resistance to stresses both psychological and environmental. Tests have proved positive on many animals but will go undetermined on humans until someone willing offers a set of identical twins to science allowing one twins pancreatic fluids to be drained then forcing both to live an identical existence while being monitored and studied for their lifespan. This is one good reason why the science and study of human consumption will always be spotty.
At Strawberry Moon we sell raw unpasteurized juice and Anna gave quite a humorous description of our juice. In no way did we feel it undermined our product. Our juice is real juice. We have not laced it with flame retardants to suspend the color and prevent separation. We do not pump it with nitrogen to simulate freshness. We do not add color to please your eyes and we do not add chemicals to make it more "craveable". We crush fruits and vegetables. The enjoyment of that juice is highly subjective.
We encourage short term fasting as way to learn to control bad food habits. We all need to eat and desire to eat. We all seek rewards, pleasure and comfort in food. It's hardwired into us. Because the standard American diet is filled with high calorie, nutritionally depleted, carbohydrate-laden and reward-centered food, our insulin levels stay high. Studies now show hyperinsulinemia (high insulin) can alter perceived hunger, taste and food consumption. It's easy to dismiss our constant need to gratify and consume as our nature but what you eat and drink directly affects your desire for food.
Every time you eat, free radicals are released into your blood stream and these free radicals will attack proteins, DNA and cells. The more you consume the more you stress the body. So if juice fasting did nothing else, temporarily halting free radicals should be reason enough to fast.
We are not here to admonish anyone's lifestyles or ask you to live the life of an ascetic. We, like everyone else, seek rewards, love a good time and indulge to sinful levels. It's a fine line living like there is no tomorrow while simultaneously living to be well prepared for tomorrow. But if the party is non-stop, it ceases to be a party and becomes a way of life. Strawberry Moon believes that occasionally we all need to step back from our indulgences to make sure that we are able to regulate our hormones, our desires, our weight and our clarity.
In the big picture we had hoped Anna's fast would shed light on what we believe to be true – that the more we have, the less we appreciate, and the less we have, the more we appreciate.
It's a shame that Anna Minard did not enjoy her juice fast. Wrestling food and alcohol dependancies are hard. Some will kick and scream their way through it, others grin and bear it. Those people who are most seasoned in juice fasting actually have a positive experience. If you are looking to change your eating habits, lose weight, tackle chronic health conditions and feel more alive a little work is the only way you are going to accomplish it. What ever you want in life, you must give up something to get it.
It's no secret now that good nutrition, exercise, peace of mind and sleep lead to a healthy body. A recent UCLA study shows that changes in diet are a viable strategy for enhancing cognitive abilities and counteract the effects of aging. A link to the article can be found below. In a nutshell the study shows that
Cutting calories may delay the ageing process and reduce the risk of disease, a long-term study of monkeys suggests.
The benefits of calorie restriction are well documented in animals, but now the results have been replicated in a close relative of man over a lengthy period.
Over 20 years, monkeys whose diets were not restricted were nearly three times more likely to have died than those whose calories were counted.
Writing in Science, the US researchers hailed the "major effect" of the diet.
It involved reducing calorie intake by 30% while maintaining nutrition and appeared to impact upon many forms of age-related disease seen in monkeys, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and brain atrophy.
Whether the same effects would be seen in humans is unclear, although anecdotal evidence so far suggests people on a long-term calorie-restricted diet have better cardiovascular health.
The precise mechanism is yet to be established: theories involve changes in the body's metabolism or a reduction in the production of "free radical" chemicals which can cause damage.
Half had their diets restricted, half were given free rein at feeding time.
The rate of cancers and cardiovascular disease in dieting animals was less than half of those permitted to eat freely.
While diabetes and problems with glucose regulation were common in monkeys who ate what they wanted, there were no cases in the calorie controlled group.
In addition, while most brains shrink with age, the restricted diet appeared to maintain the volume of the brain at least in some regions.
In particular, the areas associated with movement and memory seemed to be better preserved.
"Both motor speed and mental speed slow down with ageing," said Sterling Johnson, a neuroscientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine.
"Those are the areas which we found to be better preserved. We can't yet make the claim that a difference in diet is associated with functional change because those studies are still ongoing.
"What we know so far is that there are regional differences in brain mass that appear to be related to diet."
Earlier this year, German researchers published findings from their study of elderly people which suggested that calorie reduction appeared to improve memory over a period of just three months.
Various studies on the positive effects of calorie restriction on the life spans of various organisms - from yeast to dogs - have been published over the last 70 years
But dieticians sounded a note of warning.
"Monkeys may be a close relation but there are significant differences which means not everything we see in them can be translated to humans," said Catherine Collins, spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association.
"And there should be some serious reservations about cutting calories so dramatically, particularly for anyone under the age of 30. Any such diet would need to be very balanced to avoid malnutrition, and it would be a long-term commitment.
"People would have to weigh up whether they are prepared to compromise their enjoyment of food for the uncertain promise of a longer life, and a life which could be dogged by all sorts of problems - including osteoporosis."
Scientists are uncovering evidence that short periods of fasting, if properly controlled, could achieve a number of health benefits, as well as potentially helping the overweight, as Michael Mosley discovered.
I'd always thought of fasting as something unpleasant, with no obvious long term benefits. So when I was asked to make a documentary that would involve me going without food, I was not keen as I was sure I would not enjoy it.
But the Horizon editor assured me there was great new science and that I might see some dramatic improvements to my body. So, of course, I said, "yes".
I am not strong-willed enough to diet over the long term, but I am extremely interested in the reasons why eating less might lead to increased life span, particularly as scientists think it may be possible to get the benefits without the pain.
Calorie restriction, eating well but not much, is one of the few things that has been shown to extend life expectancy, at least in animals. We've known since the 1930s that mice put on a low-calorie, nutrient-rich diet live far longer. There is mounting evidence that the same is true in monkeys.
Growth hormone
The world record for extending life expectancy in a mammal is held by a new type of mouse which can expect to live an extra 40%, equivalent to a human living to 120 or even longer.
It has been genetically engineered so its body produces very low levels of a growth hormone called IGF-1, high levels of which seem to lead to accelerated ageing and age-related diseases, while low levels are protective.
The IGF-1 hormone (insulin-like growth factor) is one of the drivers which keep our bodies in go-go mode, with cells driven to reproduce. This is fine when you are growing, but not so good later in life.
There is now evidence suggesting that IGF-1 levels can be lowered by what you eat. Studies on calorie restrictors suggest that eating less helps, but it is not enough
As well as cutting calories you have to cut your protein intake. Not entirely - that would be a very bad idea. It's about sticking to recommended guidelines, something most of us fail to do.
The reason seems to be that when our bodies no longer have access to food they switch from "growth mode" to "repair mode".
As levels of the IGF-1 hormone drop, a number of repair genes appear to get switched on according to ongoing research by Professor Valter Longo of the University of Southern California.
Intermittent fasting
One area of current research into diet is Alternate Day fasting (ADF), involving eating what you want one day, then a very restricted diet (fewer than 600 calories) the next, and most surprisingly, it does not seem to matter that much what you eat on non-fast days.
Dr Krista Varady of the University of Illinois at Chicago carried out an eight-week trial comparing two groups of overweight patients on ADF.
"If you were sticking to your fast days, then in terms of cardiovascular disease risk, it didn't seem to matter if you were eating a high-fat or low-fat diet on your feed (non-fast) days," she said.
I decided I couldn't manage ADF, it was just too impractical. Instead I did an easier version, the so-called 5:2 diet. As the name implies you eat normally 5 days a week, then two days a week you eat 500 calories if you are a woman, or 600 calories, if you are a man.
There are no firm rules because so far there have been few proper human trials. I found that I could get through my fast days best if I had a light breakfast (scrambled eggs, thin slice of ham, lots of black tea, adding up to about 300 calories), lots of water and herbal tea during the day, then a light dinner (grilled fish with lots of vegetables) at night.
I stuck to this diet for 5 weeks, during which time I lost nearly a stone and my blood markers, like IGF-1, glucose and cholesterol, improved. If I can sustain that, it will greatly reduce my risk of contracting age-related diseases like cancer and diabetes.
Current medical opinion is that the benefits of fasting are unproven and until there are more human studies it's better to eat at least 2000 calories a day. If you really want to fast then you should do it in a proper clinic or under medical supervision, because there are many people, such as pregnant women or diabetics on medication, for whom it could be dangerous.
I was closely monitored throughout and found the 5:2 surprisingly easy. I will almost certainly continue doing it, albeit less often. Fasting, like eating, is best done in moderation.
Michael Mosley presents Horizon: Eat, Fast and Live Longer on BBC Two at 21:00 BST on Monday 6 August.

Navy SEAL Convicted Of Weapons Charges
Friday, October 7, 2011
Aired 10/7/11
SEAL Convicted
LAS VEGAS A Las Vegas jury found a San Diego-based Navy SEAL guilty of multiple federal weapons charges on Friday. The illegal firearms in the case include 30 assault rifles that were likely smuggled from Iraq.
Jurors found Petty Officer First Class Nicholas Bickle guilty on all but two of the 15 counts he faced. The charges include dealing in firearms without a license, illegally possessing and transferring machine guns, and distributing explosives to someone without a license.
After the verdict, U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden said that this case demonstrates that no one is above the law.
"Military members who unlawfully possess or sell military weapons, equipment, and explosives within the United States will be held fully accountable for their actions," Bogden said in a statement.
Statement From U.S. Attorney
Read a statement from the U.S. Attorney for Nevada Daniel Bogden about the conviction.
The trial followed a five-month investigation in 2010 by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Over the course of the two-and-a-half week trial, the prosecution used evidence from Bickle's cell phone, camera, and a storage locker rented in his name to convince the jury that he was the leader of a conspiracy to traffic weapons from Iraq to the Southwestern United States.
Two Las Vegas men and one man from Colorado were also charged in the case. The three took plea deals this winter and implicated Bickle.
The prosecution suggested that Bickle abused his position as a Navy SEAL to smuggle dozens of military-grade weapons out of Iraq while he was deployed there. But he was not charged with that crime.
Prosecutors told the jury during closing arguments on Wednesday that Bickle would still be guilty of the charges even if an "AK-47 fairy" had magically transported the weapons out of Iraq.
"He is still guilty because he is charged with what he did with the weapons once they were here," Assistant U.S. Attorney Phillip Smith told the jury.
Throughout the course of the trial, 34-year old Bickle appeared in court wearing his formal Navy uniform and many medals.
'It's unthinkable that someone who has faced those firearms in combat in Iraq would knowingly sell them to criminals in the United States," said Thomas Chittum, who heads ATF in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, the defense expressed disappointment with the verdict.
"We think there was a lot of circumstantial evidence that have reasonable interpretations," said James Pokorny, Bickle's attorney after the trial.
The lawyer argued that the case hinged on untrustworthy testimony from the men who took plea deals in the case.
"It's difficult for us to conceive how a case that is built so much on lies, and drug abuse, and testimony of convicted felons, drug runners and gun runners could support a finding of guilty," Pokorny said.
The defense attorney said he will appeal the verdict.
Federal Judge Roger Hunt ruled Bickle would be allowed to remain free in San Diego until his sentencing date in January. He will be placed under supervision.
He faces the possibility of decades in prison.

Let's see Bigelow make a film about this criminal!
HarryStreet | October 8, 2011 at 11:38 a.m. ― 5 years, 5 months ago
Unthinkable that a person in uniform could sell these weapons in the U.S.? How can the ATF be so naive. People in uniform are people, capable of committing horrible crimes. Note the Army Major who gunned down 13 fellow Americans at Fort Hood.
I'm a veteran myself and can tell you that men and women in uniform are not in solely for patriotic reasons. Many are there because they have no clue what to do with their lives. The military gets them out of their rut. That doesn't mean they put their best foot forward. Many are no more patriotic than a Wall Street businessman or woman. In fact, even the person picking up our trash each week is performing a service to our country, as are plumbers, electricians, teachers, bus drivers----starting to get the picture.
During my service I saw many officers and enlisted personnel arrested and sent to Ft. Leavenworth Military Prison for committing crimes. This is nothing new and the person should be dishonorably discharged and jailed as an example.

Recently, a whole string of things have been awful largely due to my expectations. Not my expectation that things would be awful. No, I do try to remain positive. (Sadly, I'm not very good at it.) The expectations I'm talking about are the ones that go along with Having a Plan, big or small.
Life will work according to the order I've set up in my head. This will happen, and then this will happen, and then this.
But when does life ever really work out like that, whether it's around the day-to-day or big, life-changing stuff?
As I was reflecting again on Westley's first two years, it struck me that the thing most responsible for my misery was my expectations. My plan for what having a child would be like—and the inevitable fall when that plan didn't "work out." I had expected to feel and behave a certain way, and when I didn't feel those feelings or do those behaviors, I labeled myself a loser mother with a shitty life.
Today, I had another perfectly lovely day ruined by expectations. Everything I did today was fine: heaps of rad Mommy-Westley time, including lunch out with vegan desserts and an impromptu trip to an out-of-the-way park. But my attitude about it all completely stank. Because this isn't what was supposed to happen!
It's late this time around, but my mid-year resolution just revealed itself: no more expectations! I'm sure I can't stop myself from planning (it's practically a reflex at this point), but I'd like to be more open to improvisation and surprise. Instead of living with plans, I'm going to attempt living with ease.

'Two and a Half Men' Creator Has 'Fabulous' Idea to Get Rid of Charlie Sheen's Character
Call in the mind readers.
It's confirmed: Chuck Lorre has "cooked up something fabulous" to get rid of Charlie Sheen's character on "Two and a Half Men" and replace Charlie Harper with a new character played by Ashton Kutcher, CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler told reporters on Wednesday.
But no one but Mr. Lorre knows exactly how the switcheroo will work. From Dick Wolf killing off "Law & Order" star Michael Moriarty to Marc Cherry's graphic disposal of Nicollette Sheridan on "Desperate Housewives," Mr. Lorre won't be the first show runner to replace an allegedly difficult but beloved actor. Just how well Lorre can seamlessly write Kutcher into the show, and Sheen out of it, could determine whether "Two and a Half Men" can keep attracting record audiences or will fizzle out in coming seasons.
This week at the annual upfronts when networks pitch their shows to advertisers, CBS announced it's renewing two more Lorre sitcoms, "Mike & Molly" and "The Big Bang Theory."
Even if the network or studio know what Mr. Lorre is planning, it could change a dozen times before the episode is shot, says Peter Roth, president of Warner Bros. Television, which makes "Two and a Half Men." The sitcom producer has been known to tweak the script in mid-shoot if a joke or scene doesn't get a laugh from the live audience.
"Even if Chuck solidified what he wants to do, things change constantly, scripts change, from a Monday script to a Friday table read to the shoot," Mr. Roth says.
