Hillary Clinton is looking up, but not for good reason.
Am I the last one to notice Clinton's plasticized visage? Those sparse frozen arches hovering in an unnatural position above her eye sockets give me the heebie-jeebies, much like the farfetched spin in this Politico video.
Clinton Spins Political Upset:
Clinton during Bubba Administration:
I'm not advocating relentless criticism of aging women and hate to jump on this bandwagon. Potshots at her eyebrows are my passive aggressive way of releasing anger over her ingrained inability to speak candidly or with integrity.

The dropped nut syndrom was a real pain !
The local classic car friendly garage couldn't get one for me but recommended somewhere in Burnley. No joy there either. Then I remembered a place in Blackburn I used to use when I restored my Vitesse 20 years ago so I googled them and they were still there.
20 minutes later they had come to the rescue.
Of course then it was a case of refitting the shock absorber but that seemed minor in comparison to the hassle so far.
How about some in car entertainment? I tracked down a Panasonic radio cassette I bought brand new back in 82 for my RS2000 Custom at the time so it's still period. Managed to get that slotted in but on checking the door speakers I found that behind the grill there was no speaker one side!
£15 replacements from Amazon sorted that out so yesterday I fitted those and got everything working so I can listen to my MP3 player via an FM transmitter. Mind you getting the electric aerial to co-operate proved a tad difficult, yet another piece of rubbish wiring from the past so now it's not electrical and permanently extended.
From there on to fixing the exhaust which was knocking. No wonder, it was right against one of the rear coil springs. Another hour or so under the car loosening it off and repositioning it sorted that out.
Whilst under there a good time to check the gearbox oil level which might explain the recent difficulty in selecting gears. No problem there as ATF poured out when I took out the top up filler bolt so I shoved some more in and put the bolt back in as quickly as possible.
A road test with the top down was just great so a job well done.
Today I contented myself with fettling the hood (my repaired one recently refitted) and then moved on to adjust the reversing light switch on top of the gearbox as the reversing lights don't stay on when reverse is selected.
Off with the gear lever cover and look at the top of the gearbox only to find that the whole selector extension is floating about all over the place, up and down and right to left - arghh!!!
Right, car back up on axle stands and me back under it.
To those who don't know the LT77 gearbox, there are 8 rubber bushes fitted where the extension bolts to the gearbox. Well, there should be - they were totally missing from mine!
Solution was to strip a set from a spare gearbox I have and fit them. More grovelling around under the car and getting absolutely filthy.
It is great in the end though. The gear selection was absolutely brilliant on the road test, a strange "shimmy" noise has disappeared (I think this was the extension resting on the propshaft - gulp) and the reversing lights work.

Sometimes there are events that thrust you into a new way of being, that shake you to your core, that move you out of one state of mind and into another.
For me, it all started with the steam pipe explosion.
I can remember that day like it was yesterday. I was about to leave the office, but I'd sat down to talk to my friend Jen as sometimes I did before I left. This was during my workaholic phase, before I'd officially recognized that there was more to life than work. We'd worked many late nights, and we would order dinner and commiserate about what had gone on that day. Sometimes I would lament the fact that I had to cancel yet another dinner plan because I had to finish something at work.
On this particular day, I was getting myself out of the office at a reasonable hour. I'd shut down my computer and had my favorite Kate Spade red and pink striped satchel in hand, ready to walk out the door. But on my way out, I started a conversation and sat down on a chair just outside of Jen's cubicle, and we began to chit chat about whatever we needed to talk about at the end of that day.
Later, Jen would tell me that she knew something was wrong just by the look on my face.
I remember it had rained heavily earlier on that steamy July morning, the kind of rain that seems as if it will never end. The kind that feels like thick bands of water are shooting down as if there was a leak in the sky. The kind feels abnormal somehow. But then it stopped and the sun came out and life went on as it normally does.
We heard a loud noise outside, which at first sounded like thunder, though the sound went on longer than thunder normally does. It wasn't immediately alarming, because of the heavy thunderstorm earlier. But I was facing the window, and suddenly I saw a massive plume of smoke billow upward from the street below.
At that moment—and for the people who were not near a window, I still don't know how they knew to move—everyone ran for the exit.
This being New York, where no matter how far we are from September 11, 2001 it still remains in the collective consciousness of every day, so that was the thing that instantly sprang to mind. Some act of terror must have occurred at Grand Central Station, just across the street from our office.
We ran down 10 flights of stairs, hysterically at first. Some people were literally pushed down the stairs, and then we all realized that if we had any chance of getting out of the building we needed to take care of each other. We began to move in orderly, but speedy fashion.
As we got to the bottom of the stairs, someone shouted, "The doors won't open!"
You don't know panic until you've heard that.
My friend Judy turned to me and begged to use my cell phone so she could call her boyfriend. "No, no, no," I remember saying. "We aren't doing that. We're going to focus on getting out of here."
I momentarily wondered if that made me a bad person and if I would later regret my words.
Thankfully after finding another exit, there was a set of doors that did open. Jen, Judy and I reached it at the same time. Unexpectedly, and completely out of character, I had a paralyzing moment of fear of what was outside. "I don't know what to do," I said. Suddenly I wasn't sure if we were safer inside or outside. Jen took a beat and then said, "Just go!"
I cannot remember details of what the street looked like when we finally emerged, except for the thought that it looked like the aftermath of an incident in a war zone. We later learned that there was not an act of terror; there had been a steam pipe explosion across the street from our office building, probably triggered by the heavy rain earlier in the day.
It didn't lessen the intensity of what we'd just been through.
I look back on that experience and marvel at how this one event changed me. I was changed in ways that were uncomfortable and life altering.
Loud noises began to unsettle me, where they hadn't bothered me before. I met a friend for breakfast the next morning, and the fire alarm went off in the restaurant. No one moved or seemed concerned, which I found disconcerting. My friend showed up a few minutes after I got settled, complained about our table and had us moved. Then she grew annoyed because her coffee hadn't come fast enough.
I sat there, trying to act normal though it felt like my frayed nerves were hanging out of my body, while I wondered if I should keep this person in my life.
Trauma brought me a startling and heightened clarity to what was important.
I also had far less tolerance for unkindness and rudeness. I became impatient with other people's impatience and with their hysterical need for everything to be done immediately, particularly at work. It was a major catalyst that led me leave that job a few months later for one that afforded me a better quality of life, though I still struggled (and continue to, even now) over how to let work go once I left the office for the day.
At the same time, it was the beginning of a series of events that would shape my adult life, many that I still feel in the aftermath of today. Like the family crisis that following year. And the job, and the job after that, that seemed to continually force me to face the question of who I wanted to show up as in the world and where I really belonged.
Those events were all triggers in getting me to this point in my life. These were the events that fully ushered me into adulthood. The numbers on the birthday cards may confirm that you are an adult, but life pushes you into the lifestage through its changes, only when it is ready.
Change can be good.
A few weeks after the steam pipe explosion, I was having a conversation with Judy, and I mentioned something about that day. I said that something would happen and would take me back to that day. That I felt a bit scarred by the whole thing.
"But, Dena," she said. "It's over."
It was time to move on to our new normal.

Contrary to popular belief, natural ingredients can play a major role in conditioning skin before time in the sun and of course afterward. Creating a smooth surface for skin to receive the sun evenly and in good health can be made to be a joyous occasion when celebrated regularly. Yes, celebrated…caring for your skin should be a celebration as it is caring for the largest organ of the body! Here are some of our favorite ways to prepare skin for pre-sun bliss and of course after sun care.
Pre-Sun Bliss. Very few think about preparing for being in the sun unless it involves applying sunless tanning lotions, shaving or applying sunscreen at the last minute as means to protect the skin from strong UV rays. Preparing for pre-sun bliss can be one of the most wonderful care rituals experienced. Making skin pretty involves simple movements that are easily incorporated into any schedule!
- Dampen the targeted area.
- Start with the feet and legs, then work your way up. Apply a small amount of sugar of salt scrub into the hands and apply with medium pressure circular motion massage. This single action is great for sloughing off dry and aged skin as well as increasing blood circulation to the skin's surface (AKA cellular turn over).
- Gently rinse off the sugar or salt scrub with tepid water and blot towel dry.
- Repeat the same cellular turn over movements on the hands, arms and body. Always remember the face, neck and decollete!
- Apply a moisturizer that will provide ample moisture and conditioning as well as nourishment. This layer of glistening bliss will be your skin's first defense against air born free radicals. While you may still have to prepare skin for extreme UV protection with a sunscreen, always be sure the skin is moist and has that first line of defense.
- Rinse skin with cool water post sun exposure and blot towel dry.
- Apply an aloe based gel directly onto skin for soothing and to begin the healing process.
- Allow aloe gel to work its way directly into skin. Re-apply if needed.
- Lightly mist skin with a hydrating mist to keep from drying. Dry, sunburned skin is a disaster waiting to happen when not properly taken care of.
- Re-apply mist as needed, whenever needed.
- NEVER apply an exfoliant of any kind to sun burned skin. This act will further irritate the situation. Remember when applying post sun bliss, yes soothing no sloughing.

We all do it, we see the homeless person on the corner with a sign saying ANYTHING WILL HELP; and immediately, the windows roll up, we pretend we are on the phone, maybe even switch lanes- because it is uncomfortable for us.
The truth is; it is uncomfortable and embarrassing for them, they see the looks we give or the lack of acknowledgement, as if they are futile or insignificant, or the misconception that they should go get a job — most people don't want to be homeless, and sadly many do have a job(s).
The depressing truth is that at any point in time in Palm Beach County, there are 1,421 homeless individuals and families counted. 3,248 school-age children were identified as homeless in April 2015. For the majority of the homeless, they were just like us. These are people living in their cars because they missed their rent, they left an abusive relationship and were left with nothing, they were diagnosed with an illness, or they are just not making ends meet with the wages they earn, the amount of affordable housing, or the circumstances present in their lives. These are people that were making it and in the blink of an eye, it was gone.
"Do not judge by appearances; a RICH HEART may be under a POOR COAT."- Scottish Proverb
Sometimes we are weary because there are people out there that are just trying to scam people, people that choose to be homeless or are homeless because of a habit. Recognize that not all fit that mold, and that many are just trying to make it in our community.
There are many ways to spread awareness and advocate for the homeless.
- Volunteer at a soup kitchen and you will be surprised by what you learn.
- Look a homeless person in the eye, show consideration, be polite and smile, say hello.
- Make and give out Homeless Care Packages with much needed items for the homeless and keep in your car.
- If you are unable to help, simply state "I am sorry that I am unable to help today", instead of awkwardly ignoring them.
Let's Do This
Please share with us how you made your week count. No, it doesn't need to take place on Monday – Monday just gets us excited about what the week has to offer, what we (ourselves) have to offer.
- Follow us on:

For the next two weeks, TeamJohnny will be posting articles written in the spirit of gratitude. Using the word "November", we will take a journey together that is initiated by each letter of the word. We will use the word "November" to "remember" to be grateful.
This article is about ridding one's life of negativity. As the Law of Attraction explains, what you think about, you bring about. If your life is laden with negativity, your thoughts must be negative. If your life is abundant with positivity, your thoughts must be positive. If your life is a mix of the two and you seem to endlessly struggle for balance at least, while trying to obtain ultimate positivity, your thoughts are simply all over the place.
A lack of determination, control and focus over one's thoughts are the reasons why thoughts are all over the place, and most of the time, negative. Most people are plagued by the "Negative" epidemic and have been for centuries. We are constantly told what is impossible, why things are not, why they cannot be and why we should not want what we truly desire. Negative, negative, negative. And so, true to form, when negativity is what our lives are centered around, that is all we are going to see.
Because of our social reconditioning, (yes, reconditioned – we weren't born with limited thinking or any limitations whatsoever) we are told how to think and the way we think has unraveled our lives. In order to regain control over how we think and how we get what we want in our lives, we need to be determined, in control and always focused when it comes to our thoughts.
For a lot of us, choosing to get rid of negativity is seen as work. In order to get rid of something, we have to first acknowledge that it exists. In order to acknowledge that something exists, we have to take responsibility. Sometimes, taking responsibility for one's own negative thinking is a tough pill to swallow – but when you can get beyond your ego trip and you can honestly say, "Yes, I have been negative", the walls will come down and you can start working on turning your thoughts to the positive frequency.
Positive Thinking is huge. It does require an immense level of determination to think positively, speak positively, act positively and carry oneself in a positive fashion. You cannot possess any of these positive traits that will work in your favor as long as you are trash talking others, gossiping, complaining, throwing yourself pity parties and commiserating with others about how awful things are. That only leads to more circumstances of such awfulness to talk about! You have to be determined to be in control of what your thoughts are focused on. Yes, this takes work, in the beginning, but when you see the rewards of positive thinking, you too, will live the ultimate life.
I used to be very negative. I used to complain all the time. I used to think that my life was a sentence and that the Universe was laughing at me because I was "serving time" for something I did in a past life. This "life sentence" was Cosmic Karma ruling my life and destroying me. Then I came across this irrefutable Law of Attraction and my life completely changed. THE VERY MINUTE that I understood that I was the reason for all the nonsense, all the chaos, all the bullcrap in my life – I knew that I had to change how I thought. I had to change how I felt about my life. I had to change my opinion of what the Universe was giving me, since what the Universe was giving me, was WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT!
When I began to demonstrate determination in controlling my thoughts, life got so much better, so rapidly. When I could call myself out for being negative and consciously acknowledging that I had to change what I was thinking about and how I was feeling, the moodswing that had lasted for days at a time would be over in an hour or less. When I felt horrible, I had to smack myself across the face to "snap out of it" because continuing to feel horrible and think horrible thoughts would simply generate more of that in my life. I said, "HELL NO!" I only want fabulousness in my life. Well, in order to have everything that equates to fabulousness in one's life, one has to think FABULOUS thoughts.
Do you want to feel FABULOUS? Do you want to look FABULOUS? Do you want to have the energy of a FABULOUS person? Then it's up to you – you have to THINK, FABULOUS THOUGHTS!
For me, NEGATIVITY IS GONE! Get the hell out of my life because there is only room for positivity here! Buh-bye! How much longer are you going to allow negativity to rule your life?

Stop press – St Athan campaign resources now available for download at this site! See Resources page.
Thursday 17 Jan marks the anniversary of the announcement that the Metrix consortium had successfully bid for the contract to build a privatised military academy in South Wales. The announcement was celebrated by Wales First Minister and renowned 'socialist' Rhodri Morgan with a champagne-popping photo-opportunity outside the Senedd (Welsh Assembly building) in Cardiff. It was also celebrated by the US military-industrial complex, in the shape of the sinister Carlyle Group (ex-director George W Bush), who three weeks later sold their shares in Qinetiq, key players in the Metrix consortium, having seen them rocket on the stock market.
It was almost as if the Carlyle Group knew that the Metrix bid was sure to succeed – not that we would possibly suggest any underhand dealing in the matter!
The anniversary will not go unmarked by the campaign to stop the military academy at St Athan, who invite everybody who does not want to see public money handed to arms dealers to join them at 1pm outside the Senedd in Cardiff Bay. This will merely be the start of an escalating campaign against the academy, which will include meetings around the UK and a major demo in April supported by the Stop the War coalition.

When Michael, Dr. Tanner and Ms. Ralston are caught escaping, it makes no sense why the Indian takes Michael's comlink. He doesn't know what it actually does.
KITT: I'll need Bonnie.
Michael: You got her. (turns on Comm)
Bonnie: Michael! I've been getting some strange readouts from KITT. It's like an earthquake.
Michael: No, no, just a rockslide.
Bonnie: (flatly) I wish I thought you were kidding. Is KITT alright?
Michael: I'm fine, thank you! I love you, too.
KITT: You know, Michael, I did fulfill the ancient promise of their God of the Wind.
Michael: Oh, please, don't get it into your circuits that you have any sort of divine heritage, all right?!
KITT: But what if it's true?
Michael: Let me answer that question with a question. What's wrong with being a superb piece of machinery, a partner, a friend?
KITT: Nothing at all.
Michael: I rest my case.
KITT: But Michael, you could bring me flowers sometimes.
Michael: (after defeating Cyrus) Where you're going, you're going to get all the land you're ever gonna need—an 8'x8' cell. No digging allowed.
Michael: (after defeating Simpson) Game's over, Snakeman!
Dr. Tanner: You know what the penalty is for kidnapping?
Lucas: Yeah, about the same as it is for murder.
Dr. Tanner: You have the mentality of a Cro-Magnon man.
Lucas: Maybe, but at least I know where I am. And I ain't no prisoner.
Cyrus: You seem to know so much. Since when did you become an Indian?
Michael: Since I went through a snake ceremony—and lived.
Cyrus: You're a lucky man. (threatening) I wouldn't push it if I were you.
Michael: You're not me.
Cyrus: (to Dr. Thorne) I'm sitting on millions of dollars in oil, waiting to be tapped. You've got 89¢ worth of Indian artifacts. Where do you think your future lies?
The French episode title is "Le Tombeau des Kobes", meaning "Tomb of the Kobes".

Now that my son has shown interest in following these footsteps as well I have created this blog as a means of documenting some company history and pointing out some of the many lessons I have learned along the way. There are also some prescient and funny stories to share about the many furniture projects we have done over the years. In tandem with this I have also been involved in "green" and sustainability issues for well over 20 years. This has given me a perspective that is not always consistent with the conventional mainstream.

text: So just a quick update, but after 10yrs with the same company I have decided to tender my resignation. It wasn't an easy choice but I think it's time for me to evolve. Thanks to everyone who is following me and ask that you bear with me as I find my groove.

"fill in the blank". I've heard that phrase from many a friend. "If I can just make it until __________ then I can relax a little." I usually think quietly (and sometimes not so quietly), "Is this really how we want to live?" Surviving until things quiet down. However right now I could look at you and say, "If I can just make it until November 26th." Then everything will be better. My job together with a insanely busy fall photography season, my commitments to Operation Christmas Child and its upcoming National Collection Week and my work with Compassion and my upcoming trip to Africa have left me overwhelmed. Each one is a "good" thing, and important thing. However I'm currently living out what I've been saying to others a lot lately, "No one person can do everything." You can try, but you won't be able to all of them well. Something will suffer….our reliability, our relationships, our families…something will have to give.
For the next 4 days we'll be away visiting our family. There will be no job, no photo shoots, no volunteer commitments. A chance to breathe. And when I come back home? Then I put my head down and fulfill the commitments I've made. But there is a time of reflection and decision making coming. What am I most passionate about at this point in my life? What aligns with that passion? What are my limits? (I can not create more hours in the day.) What is priority? (family) Are the priorities getting the time they deserve? Then everything else outside that will have to be released. That doesn't mean they are bad or not deserving. On the contrary, they deserve better than I can currently give. It also opens up opportunities for others to grow. Perhaps their passion is one of those things I'll let go of.
In the end, I can point no fingers of blame for my own busyness anywhere but to myself. Because I don't have control over much, but I do have control over me.
For this day…….just breathe.

Joint initiative between the Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation and the British Council looks to train and mentor the UAE's cultural leaders of tomorrow20th Apr 2016
'Creative Cities and Cultural Districts' highlights the importance of attracting a creative class to bolster economic growth as part of ongoing Cultural Excellence Fellowship Programme
The Emirati protégées and the UAE-based pioneers of a joint mentorship initiative between the Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation and the British Council in association with Mubadala gathered over the weekend for the 10th event in the second year of 'Cultural Excellence Fellowship Programme' (CEF). Led by Dubai-born Pakistani creative and business strategist Saadia Zahid, the event entitled 'Creative Cities and Cultural Districts' highlighted the importance of creative industries to bolster economic growth, while looking at the opportunity to develop urban areas and to create sustainable industries.
"I was very impressed by the cross discipline selection of participants in the CEF program and the program content itself. Mixing pioneers with protégés is an effective way of both learning from each other and expanding their perspective. Pioneers can learn from the fresh approach of the younger generation – the protégés can learn from the tried and tested experience the pioneers have to offer. Overall, this program lends itself to skill development, expanding lateral thinking and problem solving due to the mix of industries and experience levels should lend to quality leadership of the creative industries in the UAE."
Gathering at The One&Only Royal Mirage Hotel in Dubai, the event welcomed 10 Emirati protégées as they look ahead to graduation from the programme in May. Launched in 2014, CEF is a two-year cultural programme that seeks to a advance and develop skills for the next generation of UAE creative entrepreneurs and cultural leaders.
The session also saw the participation of Michela Celi, Director of Strategy, at d3 sharing her knowledge around 'creative clusters', the economic and cultural rationale as well as outlining the Dubai Design District as a case-study.
As the first of its kind in the UAE, the CEF programme was developed based upon the findings of a Needs Assessment Analysis of the UAE's cultural and creative industries, conducted by the British Council and ADMAF. It aims to help participants release their potential and make a lasting difference to the creative industries. The mentorship programme is co-owned and co-designed by ADMAF and the British Council as part of a strategic partnership that was signed in 2012. The main success of the programme has been to bring together young Emirati fellows, UAE-based professional pioneers, and regional as well as British cultural experts to foster collaboration and share knowledge through mentoring, cross-discipline exchange and a plethora of workshops, workshops which aim to inspire the young participants to make a lasting difference to the local and regional art scene

Normally I get 4-6 hours a night. Its hard to get more than that because my daughter is up a few times during the night, then she's up for the day around 6am, after going to sleep the final time around 4am.

One thing I like about this job is the way that, after a while, you can picture what the area surrounding an unfamiliar place is likely to look like before you get anywhere near it. It is perhaps the most convenient of driving techniques. Perhaps even a mild superpower?
I was given a collection address in a small east Lancashire town not so long ago, and it was predictably hideous to get into: an old mill building surrounded by a warren of terraced houses, with cars parked on both sides of the residential roads and about enough room on either side of the wagon to squeeze in a fag packet, if you squashed it a bit first.
The sort of address designed to be serviced by, at best, a small rigid – or even a horse and cart. And that's where you own personal repertoire of driving techniques come into their own.
We spend far too much time on big, multi-laned roads these days. Small towns require real driving techniques.
Many of the turns were so tight, and adorned with metal bollards, that you could only make them from one direction – and that wasn't the direction I was coming from. Predictably, much driving past, turning 'round and coming back at a different angle ensued.
Even with these driving techniques it took me nearly half an hour to cover the last half mile between me and the factory, and even then the loading bay turned out to be blindside on a corner, with two skips and a brick wall in the way.
You'd think I'd have a phobia about small East Lancashire towns as a result of terrain like this, but I actually quite like them. We spend far too much time on big, wide, multi-laned roads these days. Overcoming obstacles like these is where real skill and finely honed driving techniques are called for.
As I leaned back in my seat and put the kettle on during loading, I basked in the satisfaction of a challenge faced and conquered.
At least until I had to drive out again.
What are your driving techniques for small towns?

So, I'm not really a shoe kinda gal- I have my staple pairs and that's about it- but somehow I keep noticing appalling styles.
These I saw on my way home from work today. I saw them in the window as I was walking and thought, "man, those are really ugly", then stopped, grabbed my phone, went back to the window, and took a picture for blog documentation.
Just thought I would share.

Almost four years after seeking bankruptcy protection under a barrage of labor issues and rapidly changing appetites, the maker of Twinkies and Ding Dongs will take the stage once again as a publicly traded company.
Hostess Brands, which first emerged in 1919 with the Hostess CupCake, has been shuffled between different owners since it sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for a second time in July 2012.
It was feared by many that Twinkies, which debuted in 1930s and became a staple in school lunchboxes, was a fading piece of Americana. Those fears, it appears, were premature.

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
—Coco Chanel
Whatever your opinion about the fashion industry, branding and the rest- there will always be a subset of us that realize the division between style and brand, where style reflects life and vitality. Everything in fashion is old and new at the same time; often borrowed and irreplaceable. Yves St. Laurent often commented that he wished he had invented blue jeans; to him they reflected "the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity-". In few words, all that he hoped for in his own clothes.
But fashion's timeless epic has never been confined to blue jeans, those typical American staples.
Something Borrowed: Vietnam's National Dress
Called ao dai (ow zigh) in Vietnamese, this long flowing dress and top worn by women since the 18th century was most modernly updated to its current form by Parisian fashion of the 1920's. French involvement in Indochina had long-standing effects on Vietnamese society, where many little things of the French culture were adopted into the Vietnamese cultural mainframe. While criticized as divergent and decadent during earlier years, this dress shows how people renegotiate culture to involve all parts of history each and every day.

Something Old/New: Recolouring Stereotypical Picture of Iranian Women
Since the political revolution in 1979, stereotypical Iranian culture and fashion has been portrayed by the media as large groups of women perusing the streets in the hijab, chador and niqab. However, many Persians and Iranians will remember also the days of the 1970s where Tehran was a portrayal of fashions diverse- from more conservative dress to colorful dresses, skirts and jackets. Now, new and innovative fashion designers in Tehran are forging a new path, daringly negotiating between veils and bright color and patterns- giving homage to a longer-standing Persian culture.

keep on keeping on
lauren in the garden.
© kevin t vu
living the life or trying to live the life of a photographer is not easy. one that many know, either through their own experiences or through their relationships. yet still, so many try to live it. why is that? in this economic state, is there still a romantic association w/ the job?
we were raised to have hopes and dreams and pursuing those goals is a heroic endeavor. but where do we draw the line and realize that we also have to survive physical existence. how do we balance between idealism and realism?
its a hard task to accomplish and some do it better than others. but those that can't, what happens in the confines of the mental space can be excruciating.
so i make sure to keep moving. but sometimes i find myself idle and the doubts, confusion and hesitation creeps in.
that's when i realize that i'm carrying a psychological sledgehammer, for those 'just in case moments' that i find myself in.
the 'psychological sledgehammer' is the community i am surrounded by. the people that help me to keep moving forward. the ones that get me excited about photography, about life. the ones that will help me in whichever way they can because they truly care about me. they recognize the times when i need to be called out on my self-loathing and the other times where i just need a friend. and of course, its a reciprocal relationship.
those are the people that you want to surround yourself with. (and that's not just talking about photography, that's about life in general.)

A US pilotless drone carried out an attempted assassination Monday night of a leading member of Somalia's Al Shabab, an Islamist militia opposed to the country's US puppet government.
Pentagon spokesman Adm. John Kirby issued a statement acknowledging that the target of the strike, which took place in the vicinity of Saccaw, about 100 miles north of the port city of Kismayo, was a senior Al Shabab leader, but he did not name the intended victim.
Kirby said the Pentagon did not "assess" that there were civilian casualties from the missile strike, adding, "We are assessing the results of the operation and will provide additional information, when appropriate." Based on this account, there is no way of knowing whether the strike claimed the life of its target or how many others died in the missile attack.
Such tight-lipped statements…

With a week to go before I leave the bikes finally all set to go. I've changed the saddle, mudguards are on and I've now got a magical little hub on the front wheel which is a little Dynamo. It's brilliant…simple things I know but it's really cool…there's a front and rear light powered off it and a usb charger near the handlebars which means I can charge my phone or camera while I'm cycling. Epic!
So a little more about this magical little Dynamo. As I didn't really know much about dynamos I spoke to Owen at Wildsides where I bought the bike to get a little more advice. He was brilliant and researched what would be the best option and how much everything was. In the end he came up with company called supernova who do the Dynamo, lights and the usb charger. They look really well made and from what I've read they seem like really good bits of kit…time will tell and using them every day will be a good test but I'm fairly confident!
As I'm a bit up against it with time and also I've never respoked a wheel I decided to ask Owen to fit the Dynamo, he also ran the wires around the bike and put the two lights on! He's done a really neat job and I'm really pleased with it! Cheers mate!
Here's the Dynamo hub which is in the middle of the front wheel. Where the wire connects is a little plug which you pull off which means you can remove the front wheel without any problems. Very neat!
This is the USB charger which is at the top of the front downtube. I asked Owen to turn it this way round because I've bought an apidura bag which I'm going to put my camera and what not in so they are easy to get to and all I need to do is run the wire into the bag…simples! I hope!
Here's the front light and below is the rear one. The front one came with a mount but the rear didn't so Owen made up a little bracket to mount it on. Most of the wires are run within the frame but to get to the two lights they've been run along the racks so should keep they out the way.
Now the bikes all ready to go I'm just ticking off other things on the list so hopefully by next Sunday I'll be all set to go! Fingers crossed!

There are numerous food blogs on the interwebs. I offer nothing new here except a sincere love of food and a somewhat discerning palate. I live in Vancouver so I will be talking about/reviewing food from different places there but I might someday get to travel and I will certainly talk about food I find at whatever place I go to too.
I eat only halal food and no pork/bacon/pig product. This means that the dishes I choose will either be vegetarian or seafood unless I get lucky enough to find a place that serves halal food. If that happens than angels sing.
Posts will be infrequent and I don't expect a lot of traffic but I am doing this as a sort of indulgence so that is perfectly fine.
I will also include dishes cooked at my home–probably not by me because my cooking leaves a lot to be desired–by my mother who is a wonderful cook. Or my dad and brother or sister-in-law.
That is about it for now.

text: So no one told me it would be this hard! That some days I would be running on 3 or 4 hours sleep and that the only time I would actually sleep through would be when I was in hospital delivering the next one! That babies and children are addictive in their loveliness – bit like tattoos but far more painful and once u have one you want more and more! That my boobs would not be my own for going on seven years now and in no way represent the pertness of my past along with bad back, varicose veins and the inevitable mummy tummy. That my relationship with my husband would alter beyond recognition as we have not slept in the same bed for years, don't remember what romance is and argue constantly over who gets 'me' time! And as for the career well now it's a job because being there for school pick up outweighs any salary or prestige. From high flier to bare foot and preggers in no time at all. But they are amazing : their tiny feet, the way they smell, their squeaky voices and the unique things they come out with. And there is no love like it.

Seth Godin – how following a writer's example can save the careers of those in music.
Seth Godin is one of the smartest marketing minds out there. I have probably spent 50 dollars or more on his books, several of which I would like several more copies in paper form so I can study them more. When he tells me to buy a book or check something out, I do.. sight unseen. He has built trust with me enough to get away with that.
How many musicians out there can do that? I don't know many, but I would like to see some examples if anyone knows any by commenting.
Here are a few ideas on how I think he does it.
- Stay in people's minds. Seth has been posting every day for years! He has done like 4000 posts or something that high. He doesn't just release a book (album?) every year and a half and expect us all to still be paying attention. Seth is entitled to my attention because he doesn't feel entitled to it. He earns it every day. You do not need to do things every day, but you do need to be consistent, by delivering something of value within an approximate period of time every time.
- Deliver more value for free than you charge for. The book Trust Agents, by Chris Brogan and Julien Smith, they suggest a ratio of 12 to 1 free to charging. Seth's model seems very similar. Value can be different for different people/musicians. Some fans just want you to blog, telling them what has happened in their lives, others may want free concert footage, others may just want a chance to meet you and tell you how much they love what you do. Let your mind wander on this concept.
- Recommend stuff other than just your own. You can add value by simply telling others what you are reading/watching/listening to. If you like it, not only can you share it, but you can ask what your fans like and show them things similar to their interests. It also keeps you from being the annoying salesman who pushes and pushes his own stuff all the time.
- Be Accessible. Seth, to my knowledge, personally responds to every email. Don't be a snob who pretends they cannot be reached directly. Say something, or you may lose listeners to someone who will. Even a simple "thanks for your feedback" can go a long way, especially if you add one or two short sentences talking about what they wrote to you.
- What you associate yourself with is important. The more your input adds value to other people, the more powerful your voice becomes. If Seth just stopped his useful posts and started doing celebrity gossip exclusively, or recommended things that are not beneficial, his power would go down. After several times of feeling burned by bad recommendations, I would not go for everything he recommended any more.
Many of these reasons are why I started a blog in the first place. It is fun to share things that help, things that entertain, and add personal perspective to that information. Find ways to do the same, and you will earn more constant attention, sustaining momentum in between releases of your own work.

Fall is the perfect time to get involved in student groups on campus. And while the iSchool has a ton to offer in this respect, we only have one student journal. That's why you should definitely consider participating in the iJournal this year – whether by submitting your work or becoming part of our editorial team.
But what is the iJournal all about? Here's a brief introduction:
- We're your student journal. Founded in 2015, the iJournal is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal run by graduate students at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Information. The journal was born out of the understanding that the iSchool is a pretty big place and its students have a huge variety of academic interests. We provide a platform for publishing exemplary student work in the hopes of promoting better interdisciplinary understanding among students, faculty, and practitioners.
- We accept much more than just essays. We encourage you to submit examples of your work for consideration no matter what your concentration at the iSchool. This could be pretty much anything, including design reports, case studies, literature reviews, software and system evaluations, and book reviews. Of course, we welcome essay submissions too! Keep an eye out for our call for submissions this fall, which will be opening soon.
- We're hiring! Are you interested in being an editor, graphic designer, or webmaster? We're looking for new team members for the 2016-2017 academic year. The iJournal is a great way to get involved in iSchool life while also honing your skills and getting to work with a fantastic group of people. If you're interested, look out for a call for applicants in your iSchool emails!
Have questions or want to learn more about the iJournal? Check us out online or follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
We look forward to working with you this year!

ST. ALBANS, W.Va. — Police in Kanawha County released the name of the woman Friday who was struck and killed by a truck Thursday night as she walked along U.S. Route 60 west of St. Albans.
Troopers said Angela Oxley, 34, of St. Albans was walking east pulling her two two children in a wagon near Arborland Acres when she was struck from behind. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The children were not injured.
The driver of the truck was not cited in the accident. It happened about 7:50 p.m. Thursday.
This whole scenario makes no sense.
Terribly sad and sensless. How do you not have enough time to stop? At dusk or dark would you not be driving too fast for your headlights? Makes me curious if the driver was paying attention. Was the driver busy on the cell phone or texting? I hope the PD investigates. Maybe they are satisfied that, indeed, the driver could not see. I'd check the cell records. I still observe a lot of folks not obeying new law.
Probably a cell phone involved some way. Very sad indeed. People need to watch when they drive and be aware of what's going on around them but most don't !!!!!!! I don't care what the law says use of good common sense goes a long way, but most people just don't have this trait !!!!
Just Thinkin'
Ditto there J, bet the truck was speeding and not watching, I've seen her before and she was ALWAYS very careful.
They said no charges would be filed, the woman was wearing dark colored clothing and walking with traffic.
I often wondered if in a case as this if the driver would of had 1 or 2 beers in him would he be charged with something... I'm not trying to make light of this in anyway,, I've seen this family, sometimes in the company of a male, many times along Coal River Road over the summer and thought GOD must be watching out for them... This is just terrible for all involved...
could someone, anyone explain how a person pulling a wagon be stuck from behind & be killed & the children in the wagon she was puling behind her not be killed. They would have been hit first.
One of the newscasts reported that one child was pulling the other.
Good question. Curious too.
If I could give some advice to the people of Kanawha Co., it would be to not walk along unlit roadways at night unless it's an emergency and to stay off railroad tracks at all times.

I didn't wear this yesterday. This year I decided to be a rebel and wore something different. However I did wear this the other day when it was humid as HELL and about 100 degrees. I'll repeat the same mantra I quote endlessly until October or so – I hate summer. I freaking hate summer!
This year I missed out on fireworks. Well that's not strictly true as I watched a few on the horizon on Saturday night and a few that a neighbor did last night. But I didn't go to a big fireworks show or actively seek any out. I'm rather sad about that! I love fireworks.
And because its been nearly 100% humidity and 90 to 100 degrees there wasn't any picnics this year either. The weather keeps giving me (heat-induced) migraines. It just hasn't felt very much like it was the country's birthday. This is where I say there is always next year. I suppose…
Can I change topics for just a second? Planning a wedding, or looking at sites & sources to plan a wedding, was my hobby of the minute until I got married about 6 weeks ago (only 1 more month until we beat out Kim Kardashian! :D). Now I need a new hobby of the minute that I will eventually drop and move on to something else. Hey, I know me!
I could pick up crosstitch again as its cheap and easy plus I already know how to do it and have the tools. I could do jewelry making again. That's something I could flesh out, lots of untested ground there and I have a lot of tools. I can't possibly collect anything more as I have plenty of collections. Well time to find something else to do I'm just not sure what.

We have been traveling quite a lot, and on more than a few occasions we find ourselves with another family in a separate car. Sometimes it is on our turf, other times it is on theirs. Either way, we have learned some practical convoy techniques. This blog will be short and sweet, so here we go:
Each car must have the same address of the destination
Sounds very basic, but keep in mind if you get separated the following vehicle's first reaction goes kinda like "Oh crap now I have to catch up or I might miss the turn/exit" or panic and just try to catch up. Having the knowledge that you can all get there with a gps reduces this stress
Communicate stops/breaks
This way if you decide you want to get some burgers for the kiddos, the other car is not scratching their head why you are taking the wrong exit
The more conservative/careful driver may be better at taking the lead
For me, driving with my kids in the car make me more careful and I take less risks in driving. In a sense I am driving slower for the following car, but we all need to work as a team. You can only be as fast as your slowest team member-in this case that driver sets the pace. If communicated before the trip, the following cars will take note and can anticipate a reasonable speed.
The last vehicle can open up lane changes
The last car is in the best position to open up lane changes. He can change lanes (one at a time preferably) and each car ahead of him can change lanes in sequence. This is very effective but needs the first car to signal the lane change early on. The signal lights get relayed to the last car and he looks for an opportunity to change lanes. If you are on a freeway waiting for your exit, depending on your speed, you will want the first car to signal the change maybe 2 miles early.
At stop lights, stop signs, give lots of room
These create big gaps in your convoy if not timed right. The car ahead must adjust timing considering if the cars behind can keep up. Do not run thru yellow traffic lights or you risk the car behind you getting cut off.
Cellphones are good, radios are better
Each time we drive with family in a convoy, we keep wishing we brought a 2 way radio. The main convenience is you hit one button to communicate, and you can do so to the entire convoy. You don't have to dial someone on the phone and redial for another car. An FRS/GMRS radio would work well for this, and those are fairly inexpensive.
Communicate the route
Even when we have given addresses so we all have it on our GPS, we still communicate what route we plan on taking. No specifics, but just so they understand the general pace/route. On our last road trip, I took an exit and stopped for coffee at a small town. While there, I explained to my dad how we will change the route and stay out of the freeway and use the backroads. This implied we would drive slower, but may have a more scenic trip in this place we were exploring.
Lead car checks traffic
My wife has gotten really good at being my navigator on these trips. Part of the task is checking for traffic ahead before we hit it. This way, we can veer off the freeway and take backroads. Instead of spending 3 hrs at the freeway, we can spend 2 hrs exploring the small towns along the way-less stress and a more pleasant experience.

Bengaluru, May 24: Islam was not a religion of peace even
for a day was the message given out by Abu Salha al Hindi, a former
Indian Mujahideen operative who features now in a video that was
released allegedly by the ISIS. A video that is over 10 months old was released by members of the
ISIS from India in what is being seen as a desperate attempt to spread
their propaganda in the country.
There has been an attempt by the Indian government to counter the
ISIS narrative by roping in the moderate Muslims to spread the message
of peace in a bid to stop recruitments into terrorist outfits. However,
the ISIS video looks to counter the same.
Islam never a religion of peace: The video clip has several Indians
speaking in it. There are brazen messages and attempts made to belt out
sentiments by quoting Babri or Godhra. However the most desperate attempt is made by Abu Salha who tries to
counter the narrative that Islam is a religion of peace.
In the video
he is heard saying, " stop listening to those who say Islam is a
religion of peace. It was never a religion of peace. It was not a
religion of peace even for one single day. Those who say Islam is a
religion of peace are cowards. Are you all cowards to listen to these
persons, he also states….
I do not aim to please anyone. This is my blog, there is no blog like this. I am not mainstream. Read my disclaimer before posting comments and threatening me. Not to worry, I will not quiver in my boots. If you are not happy, no problem, just take a hike!!

Simplified avoidance formulasJanuary 30, 2010 at 9:16 am | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
In this post I describe what defense rating is, how it works, and how it contributes to avoidance percentages. In a later post I intend to discuss the value of defense in an environment where tank health pools greatly reduce the risk of tank death due to critical strikes (ie, heroics). Much of the technical information here I have drawn from Tankspot and Elitist Jerks so while any mistakes are my ownthe credit largely is theirs.
Defense is for…
Defense rating performs two primary functions for tanks in PvE encounters:
- Reduces chance to take a critical strike.
- Increases chance to dodge, parry, block or be missed.
Defense skill versus defense rating
Defense rating on gear is converted into defense skill, which is displayed on the character sheet, before being used in calculations for avoidance or crit immunity. The conversion between these two quantities varies by level, but below are a few common conversions:
- at 80, 4.918498039 defense rating equal 1 defense skill
- at 70, 2.365385056 defense rating equal 1 defense skill
- at 60, 1.50 defense rating equal 1 defense skill
(Note: fractional amounts of defense skill are rounded down when using it for subsequent calculations.)
This conversion does not appear to be subject to diminishing returns. That is, the conversion is fixed across all defense rating levels. In an attempt to verify this, I tried juggling gear items around on a level 80 character. I'm fairly confident that 4.92 is a good approximation of the conversion based on this data:
- 491 dr = 99 ds, 492 dr = 100 ds
- 614 dr = 124 ds, 615 dr = 125 ds
- 737 dr = 149 ds, 738 dr = 150 ds
- 860 dr = 174 ds, 861 dr = ???, 862 dr = 175 ds (can anybody confirm the 861 figure?)
(Note: I have many more data points available for readers that might be interested in examining this further. I strongly suspect, however, that this work has already been done by others.)
From defense skill we can calculate the various benefits of defense rating.
Critical strikes
When mobs attack, they have a 5% base chance to get a critical strike that hits for twice as much as normal. The base chance is modified by two factors: if the mob is higher/lower level than the defender and the defense skill of the defender. The chance to be crit hit increases or decreases by 0.2% per level. Defense skill lowers the chance to be crit by 0.04% per skill point. So we get the following formula:
- percent chance to be crit hit = 5 + (0.2 * (mob level – player level)) – (0.04 * defense skill)
From this, we can derive the standard 'magic numbers':
- At level 80, tanks need 535 defense skill to be crit immune. (Heroic mobs are level 82 and below)
- At level 80, tanks need 540 defense skill to be crit immune. (Raid bosses are considered level 83)
Defense skill also provides a benefit to avoidance stats. The undiminished chance to dodge, parry, block and miss are each increased by the same amount as reduction to chance to be crit (without the 5.6% cap). The 'undiminished' part, of course, is key. The amount of avoidance gain you will actually realize will vary based on your current avoidance stats with the exception of block chance (it is not subject to diminishing returns). What follows in this section is mostly about the formulas at level 80 after patch 3.2.
The formulas vary slightly by class. Here is the warrior formula for parry as I understand it:
- parry percentage (as seen on your character sheet) = Pno-DR + Pdiminished
- Pno-DR = (number of talent points in Deflection) + (base parry)
- base parry = 5 (for all plate tanks)
- Pdiminished = (Pundiminished * Cp) / (Pundiminished + k * Cp)
- Pundiminished = 0.04 * (defense skill) + [ (parry rating) / 45.25018692]
- Cp = 47.003525 (this is the 'parry cap' for warriors since 3.2)
- k = 0.9560 (for warriors)
Next, dodge for warriors:
- dodge percentage = Dno-DR + Ddiminished
- Dno-DR = (number of talent points in Anticipation) + (base dodge) + 0.0118 * (white agility)
- base dodge = 3.664 (for warriors as of 3.2)
- Ddiminished = (Dundiminished * Cd) / (Dundiminished + k * Cd)
- Dundiminished = 0.04 * (defense skill) + [ (dodge rating) / 45.25018692] + 0.0118 * (green agility)
- Cd = 88.129021
- k is same as previous
- white/green agility is displayed on your character sheet when you mouse over your overall agility. their sum is equal to your overall agility.
Miss is a little different as the value is not displayed on the character sheet. Here is the miss formula for warriors:
- miss percentage = Mno-DR + Mdiminished
- Mno-DR = 5 + (racial bonus)
- racial bonus = 2 for night elves, 0 for everybody else
- Mdiminished = (Mundiminished * Cm) / (Mundiminished + k * Cm)
- Mundiminished = 0.04 * (defense skill)
- Cm = 16
Block, as mentioned previously, is not subject to diminishing returns. This fact has been used to good effect in tanking the adds for Anub'arak. Here is the formula for block:
- block percentage = (base block) + (number of talent points in Shield Specialization) + 0.04 * (defense skill) + [ (block rating) / 16.3949947 ]
- base block = 5
If you don't want to do the math yourself, I have written a basic calculator that will perform the calculations for you. I think it still has a couple little bugs, especially for non-warriors, but it should get you close. I have written about it in a previous post. If you find problems with the calculator, please notify; I will fix it as soon as I am able.

Over the course of the next month, I am going to try to drive home the point that there is a very big "leveling of the playing field" for fund raisers going on through new technology. By-the-way, this is good news for small fund raisers and not-so-good news for larger fund raisers.
In case you haven't noticed, the prices of computers and services through the Internet have gone down over the past twenty years. Somebody said that if the price of a new car followed the price of computing power in your PC or laptop computer, that a new car would cost 50 cents. Remember long distance bills twenty years ago? Now we get unlimited calls for $20 and some calling services over the Internet are free.
Free...what's with that? How do they stay in business?
Why is this bad news for large fund raisers; especially those that have large direct mail fund raising programs? Mail is about economies of scale. If you are a small organization and you mail 10,000 pieces of mail, you are going to pay a much higher cost per piece than someone who mails 100,000 or one million pieces. Scale works for the large direct mail fund raising organization.
But now let's talk email. A small organization can send out 10,000 emails to their supporters for virtually the same price as the large organization sending out one million. The larger organization will still reap more donations, assuming both have similar response rates, but, the larger organization has lost its economies of scale advantage.
What are the implications? We'll talk more about those in the next blog.
Welcome to BIG's Blog and yes, by all means forward our blog to your friends and co-workers.

Anti Depressant Citalopram and Pregnancy: The Risks
Anti Depressant Citalopram and Pregnancy: The Risks
I am sure many people would have seen the recent BBC Panorama film in which numerous medications were prescribed to woman who suffered from Epilepsy. It is thought by experts that as many 40000 children may have been born with numerous birth defects and complaints that have been linked directly back to the use of the medication. Unfortunately parents who attempted to bring a case against the manufacturers of the drugs on behalf of their children were unsuccessful.
Now it seems another scandal has arisen with anti depression medication. Many women throughout the UK would have been prescribed anti-depressants at the start of their pregnancy. These women would have gone on to use the medication throughout their pregnancy and have had perfectly healthy babies. Unfortunately not all women were so lucky as many babies have been born recently with heart defects. Early indications suggest that the defect may have been caused by the use of Anti Depressants during pregnancy.
I have reviewed this evidence and in my opinion there does seem to be a suggestion of a possible link. It also appears that the some of the manufacturers have failed to provide safe and adequate warnings to the mothers as to the risks associated with using the anti depressant.
If your child has unfortunately been the victim of a congenital heart defect and you have previously been prescribed anti depressants it is possible that you may be able to pursue a claim for injury. If you wish to discuss this further with me please do not hesitate to contact me 0113 2009 742 or email me on email@example.com

There are various weight loss plans that have been and are still being introduced to the public for those that looking for either a safe or effective, fast or easy way to lose weight. There are pills, diets for example low-carb, Glycemic-index, sugar boost, Atkins, low-fat and others, all that target weight loss – not to mention the exercise that should be done along side them. But, all the above take time and the attitude of "I'm not losing weight!" is a negative one, try saying "I haven't found the right plan for me!" and then keep at it.
Do you know which weight loss plans will work for you? Do not worry about that. We will give you some tips that can help you come to a decision about which weight loss plans to follow that you could find effective.
Start by making and setting your goal, you can write it out on a piece of paper, perhaps in a journal. If you make your goal clear, you are more likely to succeed in achieving it. Writing it down can act as a contract that you made with yourself and you will always be reminded that you have a task to accomplish which could motivate you to making it.
The second thing to do would be to get more details from an expert about the weight loss plans that are available. It is very important and necessary that you collect as much information about these weight loss plans as you can before you decide to give it a try. Basically, educate yourself.
Next thing to do would be to make some research about the person or company that is offering this plan. Why? This is because there are many weight loss plans that might not be effective or could be a threat to your health. Make sure that the person offering this plan is highly respected and credible as well when it comes to getting and maintaining good health. Research can be done by asking a friend or relative, searching on the internet or consulting your doctor or any other health professional.
Find out if these weight loss plans offer a long term effect or not. There are plans that promise to help you lose about 20 pounds in a week but, if they are not able to make your adapt to the change in lifestyle and help you maintain your weight then your are better of with something else.
For the weight loss plans that target diet change, better stick to those that will be giving you the proper nutrients and not affecting your finances.
Why not select a plan that enables you have support groups? This will come in handy when you need some support as you are trying to cope with the lifestyle change. If you have any inquiries, you can ask any member in the support group. You would be able to understand each other more because you would have gone through a similar situation.
Do not forget to make comparisons of the weight loss plans. Be sure to weigh their disadvantages and advantages and do not pick a plan simple because it promises to make you lose a good number of pounds in a few days.
