Austria eXtreme Triathlon 2016
Will start by saying "FUK janteloven" I'm fucking go ', I am perhaps the best, no one beside me, no one above, to achieve the ultimate despite I have been MEGA overweight ... ... it is total high when the goal is reached.
Maybe it's not me that is so-go, more on that later!
In the past, years ago, I had a dream that could that could implement something wild, something extreme, the problem was simply that I was great, mega great, in fact I weighed well the 55 kg too much as I've thrown. I think it was way cool to be able to run an Ironman or for that matter "just" one triathlon ... they people were created by something special, they could something which I certainly could not, first of all, I could not swim, I was fucking scared of the water ... .When I was in Switzerland in 2015 and knew I was going into this fight dangerous water, I was afraid we had a prøvesvøm day before, I was the last one was in, the water was fucking dangerous , almost 400 meters deep.
So I stand here and have conducted perhaps the world's toughest at Ironman distance (3800m 187km 48km), now I'm one of those who wanted more than a marathon, more than one Ironman, I wanted to prove just because you've been mega obese, then you can, even if you "need" is a completely different matter. I'm so cool, I may well have done some work, but tough, I have not done anything others would not be able to do, so who is the cool in this?
Not always things go as we would like, there is no doubt that Swissman should have been my extreme tri on the "whole" distance, so it should just be and how it will not, I got a blow to the head and no matter how well prepared I was, it was not good enough ... ..I could not hold for one defect after another. Swissman gave me in return a lot of experience, it gave the whole team a lot of experience and learning. Well, yes, a PR on the 3.8 km swimming ~ 1 hour and 4 minutes :-)
Vumb (Winter ultra Mols Mountains), I completed despite after about 15 kilometers angry about, okay, there was also only 67 km run yet, it made the hair on the chest, a "must" run for runners ... .about I will attend again, awaiting the right Thomas if he is MAN for it again (I think he is). Regardless, it was Vumb a MEGA fat years, which were used for a great preparation. Think also Vumb can help to do the desire marathon comes a little in the shade of this amazing ultramarathon, to get completely under nature, a completely sovereign experience.
½ IM in Haderslev, 4 weeks before Austria was an amazing experience, I would use it to mark the shape of where I was. My recorded time was 5 hours and 56 minutes, the real was 15 minutes faster then when you come into the goal and the feeling of being able more, was a really good feeling, a super preparation. If you are thinking of running a tri competition, then Haderslev a good bet for a good experience. Most importantly, in Haderslev, my fear of water knocked not a single time, thank you :-) Shit I would have given gas in Haderslev, the shape was there but I was afraid of the negative effect on the Austrians trip.
Training up to:
I am great privileged, right outside my door where I live right next to God's free nature with forest and beach especially the beach was my great workout buddy this year, it gave the "mountain training" I do not have here in the area, super fat preparation , those who followed the training up to, have seen one picture after another, with my mountain bike on the beach. A small tweaks here if you do not think it's hard to run on the beach in Western Jutland, take the ride north of Henne :-) VERY close to my residence, located Blåvandshuk sports center, a super cool and modern center, where almost the same things are Available from swimming to fitness.
I chose this year to run a model called 3-1, ie 3 tougher weeks and one week in low gear when the body is allowed to recover in the fourth week. For me, this worked perfectly, could easily mark in the third week, the body screamed at break, fantastic hard!
Ten quick to reach his goal:
Keep up recovery, increase with max 5% of the week at your disciplines rain backwards.
REMEMBER refund every week.
Train your weak side (s) the most.
Structure should almost stand on each line!
Swimming, it is probably the most difficult part in the training, learn crawl and learn it right.
Cycling, have put some items into, distance, interval refund.
Running, use the same elements from the bike, get in terms of running style, find the shoe that fits you.
Test the different things, test it many times.
Do not forget the core training, confuse it with weightlifting, go possibly in a fitness center, getting the right exercises to your workout, reverse plenty of core exercises can be done at home and in the woods. If the person you go to the mall, do not ask you what you need training for and just instruct, then YOU are gone wrong!
Because one says it, it works, it's him, it works for, hence it is not sure it works for you. Do what works for you, making your experience!
I have had a trainer?
No, not as such, my old swim coach Dan L. has kept me in check, made sure my swim training was more crisp ....... "Jens, now swims you for real swimming programs" and I must love because it was hard, harder than last year, more crack at longer distances at each workout.
By bike part I have saved a lot with Tommy from Parkvej cycling, how should we approach things, how was the bike set up, gearing, wheels, and not least the brakes ... that's his Kado, forced me on the beach on my MTB "Jens I'm fucking care if you wear a cassette into the week at the beach, it's out there it happens, "Goddamn it, where I have driven many kilometers on the beach, great many lonely journeys, mind, well what thoughts it went to trample on the soft sand, you get nothing given, even tailwind is almost inconsequential. Core training has been very much inspired by Craig, so the network was the big sparring here. Running, I have had the world's best running mate, myself, I use run a lot of mental training, especially on the really tough tours, each time the body says no, move the limit by continuing even hurts to go on and on ... ..I may well have had many conversations with myself if need :-)
Austria extreme
3.8 km swimming in ice-cold water and counterflow. I knew more was needed than just swimming to a Ironman, the situation is more extreme than what you normally point lies in a Ironman, the plan was completed and I have been swimming for some great applications from Dan L. (thanks to Dan, one at the 3800 meters on 64 minutes). That you should turn out later to give me a per 62 minutes in the 3800 meters was absolutely fantastic.
The start was launched at 0430, it was dark and the power was not just wild, but almost insane. Why I was last at the start, probably because the participants wanted to fight for a start. What was lost in the beginning, was quickly brought, one after the other, a super great feeling, especially when one pulse on this part was almost ridiculously low. Out of the water, the team was ready and everything played Max, whauu it was cool, so a quick change to the bike.
187 km Button and 4000 altitude meters.
I think I was overtaken by roughly 10 pieces to start with, I had chosen a conservative start, low heart rate and low speed around the 32. It turned out to be really, when we were up for the first time, we met again several of us . It was also here my stomach problems begin to knock on, one vomit after another fat. The temperature was starting to knock on and we ended up on most of the day at around 33 degrees, the water splashed out of the body, sweat sweat sweat. The descent, was quite ok, not the wild yet.
Next climb, a little shorter than for those of who knows Furka in Switzerland, now came rates, damn it went to heaven, especially when you are an old obese man. The body had to show what I had built in the past year, in addition to vomiting, then kicked the ass, the pulse was with me and the top was reached. Now came also a descent, which was technically difficult, one hårdnål after another mixed with 14%, nicely much speed.
Third ascent, beyond vomit, so I start to get cramps, but the ramp was not a game, it remained below 10% and was short, think about 7km. The descent was not the wild, soon proved that it just made a quick arrival to HELL, 18 km of steadily increasing rates .... Whether it be measured? When the pulse is on the other side of 92% and the increase say 17%, vomit that pisses out of his mouth and cramps are just pouring in. The cramps did so that bike shoes were to go shoe. The increase was driven in thunder and lightning, well, 33 degrees, you have an idea of how it is?
The descent, yes descent, fuk it was cool, mega tough needles and warning of 17% and in the rain .... Tommy was instructed to keep the car well ahead of me, so I could see the route when so managed and your speed when on the other side of 90 km per hour, then you become sku high, well 20km in this way, fedddddddt .
44 km race and 2000 meters of altitude, which was for 48 kilometers and the finish line.
Following the change, we had to cross a mega high dam and there was a long way down, especially for Mr. acrophobia, Thomas got moved my focus and we came quickly. From here we were shown around the Austria insanity beautiful scenery, with one waterfall after another.
I fought ecstatic with stomach cramps and spasms, Thomas kept me going, great.
At first cutoff 27km we came to the limit and was allowed to continue for 40 km, the trip there was hard, it was starting to go to HELL again, 2 km before, 40 we met two Austrian who wandered around, we had profits enough to help them and get them to the 40 where they got off. Our luck was that, due to our help, we were allowed to continue.
Scene Change, hell was loose and I mean hell. 23-24% the last kilometer up and saw overlook an arrow that made the trip was somewhat longer. Not only that, Thomas was struck, ill, sick the hard way .... One of my comments in the rain as he lay on the ground "it is this way we must finish on", damn you did not look good, so sorry .... You were tough and got up, hit yet focused, thank you.
We reached the summit and met last checkpoint, fuk a joy, 800meter back down the mountain, which was very different, we would cross and run on two glaciers, whauu. The finish could be seen and especially heard, shut up a party.
The finish line
100 meters, cow bells are played, a noise, a few stair steps, lots of people, party, his wife in sight, his companion at the finish line, his companion beside him. Austria extreme triathlon completed, lifting belt to finish, did I was happy the rain, the towers whipped out, redemption was complete and can hardly be described in words, may well only be labeled innermost inside. Going to the knee on the right side of the finish line, it was extreme.
Thanks to you who have followed the project here on facebook, amazing that i have helped to spread the word, thanks for having helped to highlight the overweight.
Thanks to our sponsors, without your support, this was not possible, it costs money to keep such a train running, a lot of money, therefore I am you deep grateful.

Thanks to my allere closest friends, because of the understanding that I take things to the extreme and overrides the time we could have had together.
A special and special thanks to Thomas and Tommy, because the train with the first times, and helped to knock me in place so I crossed the finish line, for the then, I can not give the same back, I am you and your families in perpetual debt and will attempt to pay a total of little by little. Thanks to Tenna and Linda, to have some great men, beware of them!
My family, my wife and boys ... ..der is no doubt I have been selfish since 2011 until now, I set a goal for an Ironman in 2013 and had if it went well the target of an extreme at ironman distance. Now these goals has been achieved and I use / have spent a lot of time to train, optimize, make ready, actually when it's really wild, so on the other side of 30 hours a week, if I take it where I coach other people ... .about it eats into the family, I would say no, I'm not there to stir things up, now I train :-) So much time on his sport, tells us little about what a great wife and children I have. About a thank you here is enough, I will say no, they deserve much more.
What now?
Yes what now, I have been training people since 2009, to a healthier lifestyle and if I have to see myself in the mirror, it's actually gone really well, even I have trained several people to implement ironman ... .fakta is, I must relax, thinking about myself and my family. Whether I go for Norway still, I do not think I should feel myself after ... .. I have implemented Austria, I've never (READ: NEVER!) Been exposed to so much pain for so long, it did mega hurt on the entire trip so if my body gets ready again I do not know.
It all leaves me two questions, I squeezed as much again? Will I spend so much time helping others? The question may be, I can not?
Back to the beginning.
No, I'm probably not as-go as I wrote in the beginning, back for just over 10 years ago and 55 kg heavier when my wife said to me, "John, you are getting too fat, you should not do something about it? ". Yes, it is she who is the cool, the best, the one no one else can match, think what she should and has been on target for ... ..a great support all the way through, not even an extreme Ironman and the worst ones as Austria Extreme Triathlon is on par with it, thank you!
Remember, I have not done anything that you would not be able ......... .. you just need to be prepared to move your limits!
Mvh. Jens Gadgaard

Consultation For Rain Gutter/Roof & Maintenance Budget
Owning a home is very enjoyable but is also a considerable responsibility. When you own a home it will be vital to maintain it so that it will stay in good condition as well as increase in value. One of the things you may want to do when owning a home is to get a consultation for your rain gutter and roof as well as an installation. During the process of getting a consultation you will want to make sure that it is in position to work properly and easily regulate the flow of rainwater. As well as making sure that your rain gutter is in good condition it will also benefit you to get a roof installation if necessary.
When looking to get a consultation for your rain gutter and roof you will first need to meet with a roofing contractor Phoenix specialist. Therefore it will be necessary to contact one that is reputable and then arrange an appointment. Once you get the appointment you will want to roofer to check the rain gutter and the overall condition of the roof. It will then be necessary to get their recommendations and then proceed with the next step. The next step may entail regular maintenance, leaving the roof alone or getting a replacement or repair. If you are in a situation where you need a roof repair then you will want to evaluate the cost and then get this task done immediately. After getting the roof repaired and/or a new rain gutter installed then you will be in position to keep the roof of your home in ideal condition for the foreseeable future.
One of the most important things that any homeowner needs to do is put together a maintenance budget. The maintenance budget is an amount of money that a homeowner sets aside for funding the overall care of the house. While this may be an additional cost it is worth it as it will save time as well as keep the home in the best possible condition. The home services that are usually required for any home include landscaping, pool care, pest control and roof repair. Therefore homeowners will need to spend money on these services on a regular basis and get quotes in order to find the most affordable options available.
In terms of cost most of these maintenance services are quite affordable. Services such as landscaping will usually cost as low as $50 per week or $200 per month. When looking to get pool services you will usually need to pay about $100 per month to take good care of your swimming pool. With pest control you can spend around $100 per month. As a result these services are quite affordable and will usually cost you around $400 per month on a consistent basis. While these services are quite affordable the most expensive home maintenance service is roof repair. Depending on the type of repairs you need, it may be necessary to spend well over $1000 per repair job. However this service is quite rare so you won't need to worry about spending thousands of dollars on a regular basis. Therefore it is a good idea to set aside around $600 to $800 per month for your home maintenance budget.

Beautiful 2 bedroom self catering cottage set in woodland near Killin, Perthshire.
Blinkbonnie Cottage is the middle one of seven modern cottages positioned in the beautiful Loch Lomond & Trossach's National Park. The cottage has lovely open views, but walk a few yards away from the house and you have some of the best walks in Scotland.
There is a small lochan at the rear of the cottage where trout can be seen jumping most days. The National Cycle Route 7 runs a few hundred yards from the cottage where you can cycle between Glasgow and Inverness. The whole area is a haven for wildlife. Deer, Hare, Pine Martin, Red Squirrel can all be seen around the cottage and the bird life is equally as interesting. You may see Golden Eagle, Osprey, Red Kite, Hen Harrier and even the occasional Sea Eagle! For those of you who play golf we have two courses within 20 minutes drive and many more in the area.
The nearest village is Killin (2 miles away) which has all you should require for your holiday. There is a well stocked Coop, Hardware Store and plenty of eating houses. It is also famous for the Dochart Falls which you have to drive over to enter the village.
Killin is also on the western end of Loch Tay, one of Scotland's larger Lochs.
Lochearnhead is 4 miles to the south where you can enjoy all sorts of water sports and fishing. Speedboat rides and water skiing can be arranged by the owner if required?
The cottage is in a perfect central position for days out!
Edinburgh, Glasgow and Fort William around 90 minutes away.
Oban, Glencoe, Stirling, Perth and Gleneagles around 60 minutes away.
Journey times are normally reduced as the roads are very quiet compared to most holiday areas.
Blinkbonnie Cottage is a very cosy holiday home with a log burning stove in the lounge which overlooks the small lochan and the forest in the distance. There are also electric panel heaters in all the other rooms should additional heat be required. The kitchen is modern and well equipped with washing machine, electric cooker, microwave and toaster.
If you fancy a few days really chilling out, some energetic hill walking or just using Blinkbonnie as a base to tour from, this is the place for you!
Sandie and I spent our working life in the Staffordshire area running a furniture wholesale business, but have always taken our holidays in this area for the last twenty years. The main attraction at first was the water skiing and wildlife, but then the village became our second home so eight years ago we managed to purchase our current home which we then used just for holidays. In February 2013 we decided to retire and move north permanently, selling up our home in the Midlands and having a new start in life!
Dave Lloyd purchased this cottage in 2013
Blinkbonnie was purchased in July 2013 due to its location. Wester Lix is a wooded area of the National Park with many walks and cycle tracks from your front door and the wildlife can be seen from your armchair.
Mountain views to the north and forests and a lochan to the rear looking south. The end of the garden has a small lochan where trout can be seen jumping daily.
The property is well situated at the north of the Loch Lomond National Park to drive in any direction and reach beautiful and interesting places.
We found Blinkbonnie Cottage to be very well equipped and exceptionally comfortable. Our hosts gave us lots of tips and ideas of local eateries and places to visit, they couldn't be more helpful and were only a phone call away if needed. At the bottom of the garden we watched the daily goings-on with the families of ducks and other birds and also watched in delight as deer passed by.
We enjoyed visiting the local village of Killin which has a great range of pubs, restaurants, shops and natural attractions. The roads are excellent with good signage and even if you get lost, there's lots to see and explore.
We loved our holiday to Scotland and it was in no small part to our accomodation which we would highly recommend and hope to return to in the not too distant future.
Location and cottage very good
You could stay at Blinkbonnie and remain there without going anywhere else. There are great views to the front and back of the property where woodland birds, rabbits, herons, ducks and, if you're lucky as we were, deer can be seen on a daily basis. It is really peaceful and great to view the night sky with no light pollution whatsoever.
The cottage is well furnished and, of special note, has really comfortable beds. Dave, the owner, gave us a warm welcome and explained what we needed to know. Although there was a problem with the colour of the water following a period of heavy rain, the owners had provided bottled water and it was perfectly safe anyway after boiling. We felt that this was just part of the experience of living for a week in a completely different environment. The property was very clean and, although the kitchen and bathroom are relatively small, you soon get used to having less space in these areas. The lounge and bedrooms are all of a good size. In any case, the location of the cottage more than makes up for any shortcomings in terms of room size.
We chose this cottage for its location. We know The Trossachs quite well from past holidays and we wanted to revisit some favourite places, but also wanted to venture a little further. Locally, we visited the Ben Lawers Nature Reserve twice. On the second occasion we went up to the impressive dam and on through Glen Lyon. We made further excursions to Loch Venachar, the Glen Finglas Reservoir, the magnificent Glen Coe and a superb walk from Killin along the old railway line and along the shore of Loch Tay. There is no shortage of relatively easy walks within a short drive from the cottage.
We would recommend this cottage to anyone seeking peace and quiet. It is a nature lover's paradise and we will miss it!
The four of us, two from Cambridge UK and two from Cambridge, Canada had a wonderful holiday in Western Highlands. The accommodation is one of the best places we have had the good fortune to stay. We also enjoyed the log fire in the evenings. The birds that frequent the area a real birdwatchers paradise. Lovely walks nearby and in four days we only scratched the surface. The area at Glencoe and the Trossachs is breathtaking. As a crowning glory, the owners have thought of all the little comforts one could wish for in the cottage. God willing, we will be back for a longer stay another year. Thanks to David and Sandie and also the couple at no.1 Westerlix (Alec and Jess) who made us really feel welcome to the area.
We stayed at Blinkbonnie during a week of mixed weather. The cottage was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. We really enjoyed watching the variety of birds (some that we don't see at home) visiting the bird feeders and had some surprising visitors. The Great spotted woodpecker came twice and that was beautiful. The deer visited too. I would have no hesitation in revisiting Blinkbonnie. Thanks for everything Dave and Sandie
Blinkbonnie Cottage is a well equipped, nice little cottage in beautiful parkland of the Trosachs. It is a short drive to the beautiful village of Killin and Dochart Falls. With only a handful of other cottages nearby it is a nice retreat from busy city life. Very quiet and peaceful. The owners are helpful and pleasant to deal with. I am a writer and used this cottage as a writing retreat. It worked out wonderfully for me.
The cottage is set within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. The scenery and wildlife are right on your doorstep, yet just two miles from the popular tourist town of Killin and the Dochart Falls.

Poppleton really cares about his tree. He waters it, and gives it a lot of soil. But still it looks awful! The illustrations mean a lot in this story. They make the reader understand why the animals tell Poppleton the wrong advice to help the tree. Cynthia Rylant repeats, "He tapped it. He stroked it. He felt its trunk and leaves", 2 times in the book. It makes this part important to the story. Poppleton must feel sad that his tree is going to die. I would feel sad if that happened to me! My favorite part is when Poppleton bought a bird feeder and all different kinds of birds came to Poppleton's tree! A sparrow came, a bluebird, and a cardinal came too.
I recommend this book to people who like books that are happy, then sad, then happier, and happier, and then are really happy! And not only this book is like that. Almost all of the books in this series are like this.

Preheat the grill to 350 degrees F. Peel and slice the butternut squash into 1 to 2-inch wedges. Place in a large bowl and season with the maple syrup and Chinese 5-spice powder. Grill the squash until grill marks appear, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile, crush the coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and add the onions. Cook until soft. Add the coriander and red pepper flakes and cook until the onions are barely caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the grilled squash and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes to help the flavors develop. Take the soup off the heat and blitz in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. If the soup gets too thick, add more chicken stock to thin it out. Chiffonade half the sage leaves, leaving the other half whole. Fry all the sage leaves in a pan of hot olive oil until the leaves are crispy and still green. Ladle the soup into cups, top with 1 teaspoon creme fraiche, and garnish with fried sage and porcini salt.

Social network MySpace unveiled the first stage of its redesign yesterday, starting with a new look for the homepage.
Having been one of the more cluttered sites around, MySpace was certainly due for a revamp. So has it improved?
The main changes are a new simplified navigation bar, and a less cluttered homepage which is now easier on the eye.
Here's the old homepage for comparison:
And the new design, below the fold:
The firm behind the redesign, Adaptive Path, has done a good job of removing the clutter from the homepage, and now users can see the content on display much more easily.
The number of links and adverts on the homepage has been reduced, and now it is much easier to navigate from this point.
The navigation bar has also been stripped down, with the number of links reduced from 15 to 7. Other options are now available via drop down menus.
The grey box which used to contain links to videos, featured profiles, horoscopes etc has now been replaced by a tabbed interface which is much more usable:
MySpace is a popular online destination for music fans, and this has been promoted on the homepage through the interface above, and also via this chart of the top ten artists of the day:
The redesign is a big improvement so far, but there is still plenty on the site to annoy all but the most dedicated MySpace users.
The profile pages are still as hellish and migraine-inducing as they ever were though.
Open a random profile page and you are assaulted by hideous flashing backgrounds, music that plays without asking you, embedded videos, while the whole thing can take an age to load:
At least MySpace has understood the need for usability improvements, and the parts of the redesign unveiled so far make the much easier to use and look at than before.
There are a lot more improvements which could be made to the user experience on the site, not playing music and video automatically for instance, and toning down some of the awful profile pages.
Of course, MySpace has to avoid annoying its users too much, so it will be interesting to see how far it can alter the rest of the site.

I have experienced more problems since your revamp than I did before. For example it will not let me change my mood or status. It will not allow me to post a new blog and in general it is very annoying. I feel that maybe you haven't quite gotten all the bugs out yet.....at least I hope this is the problem. Another annoying little problem is each time I click on home I have to re-type my e-mail address and password even though I click on REMEMBER THIS. I am at http://www.myspace.com/benkitchens. I hope that this problem is soon resolved.
I have had problems since this change, all i get is 2 pictures on top the home page, no log in window to type my user name or password comes up at all. i havn been able to log in since the change.
i have had so many problems everysince this change i couldn't log in everytime i tried to log in it makes this noise.
From a user experience perspective, being a non MySpace user (and therefore in theory a potential new user looking to sign-up) I find the complete focus around promoting a wide mix of what MySpace is all about, compared to Facebook's homepage which is geared very much around promoting the benefits and reasons why a new user should sign up, as quite fascinating.
In some ways it reminds me of how Google approach designing their homepage interface, in stark contrast to the likes of AOL, Yahoo! and others, which are busy interfaces showing new visitors a wide variety of the services they offer.
I suppose it comes down to Facebook's confidence in their brand (which is backed up by the recent news from comScore that they have recently overtaken MySpace as the most visited social network) which means that new visitors are presented with the most minimal of a homepage user interface, focussing their mind specifically on what they (and Facebook) want - to sign up to the network.
Compare this to the main marketing area for new visitors on MySpace, which receives no real stand-out within the homepage user interface and is positioned very low down the page, and you can certainly see 2 comprehensively different 'new user' strategies from the 2 biggest social networks in the world.
I too have the very problem as Jeana mentioned above. all I get is 2 pictures on top the home page, no login window to type my user name or password comes up at all. I have gone into "sign up" and tried loggin in there and it still brings me back to the home page. My sons computer works just fine. We both use the same brouser so whats up with this crap????
I know like the new Mysapce 3.0 That new Myspace is not good at all nobody likes it 50% of Myspace users or more has deleted there Myspace and has moved on to Facebook. My opinion is that the new Myspace 3.0 is way more difficult then the new one because you have to follow each step correctly or else it might log you off. And the new name i meen its not even "MYSPACE" any more its "My__" Facebook on the other hand is more easy to get to one page to another. Yes the new Myspace is more organized but difficult to work with.

Eating lots of leafy greens is a good idea, but if you want to maximize the nutrients your body absorbs from your greens you need to take another step. You need to add fat. The research is in on this one.
When I make my morning smoothies, I always make sure there is fat in the mix. Adding an avocado adds fat and creaminess. On days I don't have an avocado handy or I just want a less creamy smoothie, I add a couple of tablespoons of warmed coconut oil. Not only does it make the nutrients in my greens more bioavailable, the fat is satiating, so it fills me up and I go longer before feeling hungry again.
If you are having a salad, you'll need fat in your dressing too. We usually go for a homemade olive oil vinaigrette and/or a bit of avocado on top. If you are eating cooked greens, cook them with a bit of fat, like traditional collards with fat back (salt pork), creamed spinach or make sure the rest of your meal has fat in it.
Those of you who have been around the Paleo, Low Carb or Weston A Price food communities for a while won't be horrified at the idea of eating fats, at least traditional ones like butter, ghee, coconut oil, olive oil, lard and tallow. If you think these fats are going to kill you, well, do your research. The data just doesn't stack up.
For a quick explanation on fats, check out this two and a half minute clip.
If that piques your interest or you want a fuller explanation, watch this lecture called "Enjoy Eating Saturated Fats: They're Good for You" from cardiac surgeon, Donald W. Miller, Jr. It is well worth the time.
Coconut oil. Yes! I did not know this. Thanks for sharing.
Alexandra recently posted..We've Moved!
I've always preferred full-fat dressing (using olive oil) for my salads, anyway. I find you need less to cover the greens, and the flavor is better/stronger. But hadn't thought about adding coconut oil to a smoothie; thanks for the info!
Sheryl recently posted..How's Your Memory? Secrets from a Champ
Thanks for the info. I'll have to check the organic vinaigrette I've been buying for my kale salads. I assume it has oil in it. Then, again, I like a bit of blue cheese on the old salad, so I suppose that counts as fat as well.
Roxanne recently posted..The Agony and Amusement of Canine Brain Issues
Have you posted a recipe for your morning smoothie? Would love to know what's in it.
Jane Boursaw recently posted..In Defense of Kim Kardashian: Yes, Pregnancy IS Hard
I've never figured out how to add fat to my smoothies and have it taste really good. I don't care too much for coconut or avocado in the green smoothies :-/ I don't usually put dairy in, even my raw dairy, only because even raw dairy isn't too good for me, and if I have my choice I'd rather drink the raw milk than put yogurt into my smoothies.
Gonna have to get creative and come up with something else…
I'm with you on the creamy smoothies. I usually have a juice like one then eat a couple of eggs or some tinned fish or half an avocado.
I'm a firm believer of listening to your body, even it's cravings and eat what you enjoy. The food rules change every 5 minutes. Instead of keeping up, why don't we just learn to eat intuitively? Good food never falls out of fashion.
There are certainly diet fads that change almost daily, but the bedrock of the 'sensible' food pyramid goes back to the 70s and earlier. The received wisdom is salt+fat=early death, and that just doesn't seem to be true. The move towards paleo diets is towards the foods our bodies seem to be adapted towards. The trouble with intuition is that modern foods are engineered to drive cravings, so it's not really all that reliable. The cavemen didn't have sugar refineries.
REALLY? Omidog. Information in the world of nutritionologism is the most unstable information in the universe. It remains my unscientific opinion that if bacon is to be eaten it should be eaten rarely, but I can't lie, my main concern here is with the welfare of pigs, who are beautiful, intelligent animals that deserve better than a short, smelly, mostly boring, often stressful life in a huge crowded shed.
They are beautiful and intelligent, and I want ALL the animals I consume to have lived a happy and healthy life if they are to be sacrificed to nourish my body. Happy healthy animals make for a happy healthy me 🙂
Interesting – so my bacon with spinach is a GOOD thing. Could olive oil be added to a smoothie in place of coconut oil?
Sure, but cold expressed coconut oil has no taste, so it doesn't alter the flavor profile like olive oil might. But it you don't mind the taste, go for it. For even MORE nutrition from your spinach bacon salad, add a few orange segments. The Vitamin C in the orange will help you absorb the iron in the spinach.
Except that your bacon is cured using a heapa salt, and probably a heapa nitrates, which are far from good for you (and if the pig was raised the way the majority of pigs in the world are raised these days, absolutely terrible for the pig).
More information about why salt and nitrites/nitrates are NOT the boogey-men we've been told is available. Salt here and nitrates/nitrites here.
Thanks for the info Mel! You are so well informed in so many areas.

David Wain Has a Message for the Girl Who Rejected Him (Video)
The "Wanderlust" director offered an update on a "Wet Hot American Summer" sequel, as well as a painful high school memory.
If you are the girl that rejected David Wain on the first day of school, you might want to close your ears.
Before he was in Stella and became a film director, Wain was a normal high school kid with a problematic nose. But he was also resourceful; as he told The Hollywood Reporter at Sunday's Hollywood in the Hamptons event, he underwent a transformation that he thought would win the heart of his crush.
PHOTOS: THR's Hollywood in the Hamptons 'Perks of Being a Wallflower' Screening
"I got [to school] and I thought that the girl that I really liked, who I missed all summer, would finally go out with me, because I had finally gotten a nose job," he remembered. "And then she said I was still ugly."
Don't think he's still pouting over it, though.
"Well, now I'm famous, so f--- her," he quipped.
On that note, Wain also discussed his upcoming new comedy, starring Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler, and addressed those Wet Hot American Summer sequel rumors.

TALLAHASSEE — Thanks to the government in the Sunshine Law, Floridians just got a glimpse of the kind of hardball political wheeling and dealing that might otherwise have taken place behind closed doors away from public scrutiny.
It was a fascinating look at aggressive power politics played for high stakes.
The conflict involved some formidable opponents -- and opposing ideas: A powerful elected official vs. an almost unknown appointed official; the former accused of trying to ``grease`` the nomination of a candidate to a high-paying job, the latter opposing that because she had previously been rejected; the former accused of trying to change the rules in the middle of the game, the latter insisting on sticking to those rules.
The controversy erupted at a meeting in the Capitol of the little-known Public Service Commission Nominating Council. The council was evaluating applicants for the PSC seat vacated by Susan Leisner and recommending applicants for the governor to appoint.
Council member Pat Neal, a Democratic senator from Bradenton, strongly lobbied his colleagues to recommend applicant Mary Kumpe of Sarasota, even though she had earlier failed to make a list of 10 finalists and had not even been interviewed by the council like the other applicants. Neal, powerful chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, claimed that his absence at a previous council meeting and a misunderstanding over how finalists were chosen had hurt Kumpe`s chances.
As reporters and the finalists listened in amazement, crusty council chairman Nat Polak fired one bluntly worded verbal volley after another at Neal.
He attacked Neal, who represents Kumpe`s district, for injecting political pressure in an attempt to subvert what is supposed to be a non-political nominating council process.
Polak called Neal`s interference a mockery of the process, but admitted ``it looks like you`re going to get your way.``

A surge of heat expanding from the southern Plains to the Midwest and South this week will shun much of the Northeast.
Temperatures soared to over 100 degrees in portions of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas this past weekend and will continue to challenge records much of this week.
Wichita, Kansas, experienced its earliest 100-degree temperature in 126 years of record keeping on Sunday. A high of 102 F surpassed the prior record high for the date of 94 set in 1963.
Daily record highs were also set in Oklahoma City, Fort Smith, Arkansas, Springfield, Missouri, and Amarillo, Texas.
Extreme heat will continue over the southern and central Plains through midweek and it is forecast to swell northward into part of the Midwest and eastward across the South as the week progresses.
One or more days with high temperatures in the 80s will reach Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C.
Ninety-degree temperatures are projected to reach Charlotte, North Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia, where record highs will also be challenged. Temperatures will reach well into the 80s most days this week in Atlanta.
Meanwhile, the warmth will not make it into portions of the Northeast and upper Great Lakes.
On one or more days an extreme temperature contrast zone is forecast from southwest to northeast over the mid-Atlantic. A distance of 100 miles could mark the difference between temperatures in the 80s and the 50s.
Cool air is likely to hold its ground across New England and much of New York state.
An area of clouds, showers and thunderstorms may accompany the temperature contrast zone. As a result, temperatures may fluctuate substantially from one day to the next along the contrast zone.
According to Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson, "The boundary of warmth and chill is likely to meander north and south across the Upper Midwest and mid-Atlantic this week."
While millions of people may welcome the warmth with open arms, some may find it difficult to adjust to the sudden surge of summerlike conditions.
Be sure to increase your intake of fluids as the temperature increases.
Remember to never leave children and pets unattended in vehicles. Even in early May the temperature inside a closed vehicle can climb to life-threatening levels in a matter of minutes.
According to the San Francisco State University, Department of Geosciences, in the United States, the number of children that died from heatstroke by being left in vehicles during 2013 was 44.
As you trade long-sleeve clothing for short-sleeve items be sure to increase your use of sunscreen.
On portions of the Plains, the combination of extreme heat, gusty winds and dry air will continue to elevate the wildfire danger. A wildfire that broke out in Guthrie, Oklahoma, spread rapidly on gusty winds amidst dry conditions. Much of the central and southern High Plains continue to struggle with building drought.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
Hensarling doesn't seem to understand how FHA, or the mortgage industry, works. That is unfortunate since he is the head of the Financial Services Committee.
A better move to entice any borrower to obtain an FHA Mortgage, would be to reverse the Life of Loan premium renewal on mortgages with less than 10% down. This is why borrowers are not choosing to finance FHA and opt for more reasonable Conventional PMI or decide to wait to enter the market until they have saved additional funds. The lower premium, while nice to have a lower payment, is not the limiting factor for the majority of First-time homebuyers.
The reason HUD had to be bailed out has more to do with another poorly run government agency he should look into that first and get his facts straight

On Nov. 24, 2015, an Atlanta Jury returned an $11 million verdict in favor of Plaintiff Robyn Christiansen in the first federal bellwether trial in the Wright Hip Implant Products Liability litigation currently pending in multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
According to the pleadings, Ms. Christiansen was implanted with the defective device in October 2006. As with most people who have been devastated by the metal-on-metal hip devices, she agreed to the device based on representations that it was longer lasting than devices with polyethylene liners. Also, they were represented to be the best for someone with an active lifestyle. Her device subsequently failed, causing pain and depositing metal debris into her blood and tissue in 2013.
Ms. Christiansen, a ski instructor for almost 50 years is no longer able to enjoy the active lifestyle she had known previously. Despite the Plaintiff losing some ground in some early evidentiary rulings, the court did allow key evidence as to the device design. The jury awarded $1 million in compensatory and $10 million in punitive damages. The Plaintiff was represented by Pope McGlamry Kilpatrick Morrison & Norwood, PC along with Boucher, LLP and Kiesel Law, LLP. Wright Medical is represented by Duane Morris, LLP.
Beasley Allen lawyers represent almost 100 Plaintiffs affected by the defective Wright Medical metal on metal hips. In addition to the metal-on-metal corrosion cases, our lawyers are handling cases against Wright Medical involving device fractures. In these cases, the defective design of Wright Medical's Profemur femoral stem causes the device to actually fracture, or break in half, while implanted in the individual's femur. This event causes sudden, excruciating pain.
Wright Medical has expressed its intentions to appeal these verdicts. The Plaintiffs are only encouraged by these verdicts and are committed to continuing to push Wright Medical to accept its responsibility to all affected Plaintiffs and prevent future harm to other patients.

Only I would get arrested on my first date. And not even for something cool like smoking pot or indecent exposure. Nope, we got arrested for fleeing the scene—which somehow turned into resisting arrest—and were being charged a fine for trespassing. "This is unbelievable." I grasped the metal bars of the holding cell in my hands. "You told me we wouldn't get arrested for feeding the ducks," I hissed. "Hey, at least it will be a nice story to tell your grandchildren one day," Maddox reasoned. "And we didn't get arrested for feeding the ducks." I guess he was right about that—but feeding the ducks, did lead to the reason for our arrest, so it still counted in my mind. I turned around to glare at him where he sat on the thin metal bench. "You think this is real funny, don't you?" I shivered, because my clothes were still wet. "I think it's hysterical," he grinned. "I mean, who knew swimming in a pond could get you arrested?" "Apparently when there are signs telling you not to swim," I glared at him. He wasn't taking this seriously at all. "Admit you were having fun," he challenged. "Sometimes a little fun is worth the consequences." "And sometimes a little fun leads to getting arrested!" I shrieked. "And other times it leads to babies!" He laughed, leaning his head against the cinderblock wall. "Boy, that escalated quickly. From arrests to babies—does this mean the next time we want to have some fun we try for the baby part?" He grinned crookedly, waggling his brows. My mouth fell open. "You are unbelievable!" "And you're adorable when you're angry," he smirked. "Oh, if you think this is angry then you haven't seen anything yet." I put my hands on my hips and leaned forward, leveling him with a glare. "I see your boobs, does that count?"

Kim's Review
Last To Know follows the story of Emma and Maddox. A small town girl who sticks to herself and a small town boy who is just a bit famous because of his band, Willow Creek. He is a hard one to resist and Emma soon finds herself very taken by him. They spend a summer together trying out new things, being themselves, and really have a great time. But things can change when they aren't exactly what they seem and when you have been hurt in the past, its hard to forgive when what you think is the truth, isn't.
I have loved every story that Micalea has written and Last To Know is one of my favorites. I found myself wrapped up in the story of these two. To be so young and full of life and start out from the beginning with adventures makes life so much happier. Emma and Maddox definitely have the chemistry and the passion for not just love, but life, and it definitely shines through with them. I couldn't put this book down and read it in one day. I enjoy Ms. Smeltzer's writing style and the way that she can make you fall in love with a story as a whole, not just bits and pieces. Plus, there is a hedgehog and I mean HOW can you resist a hedgehog? It makes me want to go out and get one! Grab a copy today and get lost in the world that Micalea has created. You will not be disappointed!

New Contender in the Lighting Industry
Posted: 06:02PM
Author: Guest_Jim_*
The electric light bulb is easily one of the, if not the most important piece of technology ever developed. It enables people to continue working into the night or a dark environment without hazardous lamps. Since the technology was first developed, it has been reinvented multiple times to give us a variety of lighting solutions, from the traditional incandescent to the new fluorescent and still newer LED. Now researchers at Wake Forest University have developed yet another lighting technology based on Field-Induced Polymer ELectroluminescence (FIPEL).
The light itself is made of a polymer matrix consisting of three layers of a white-emitting plastic and some nanomaterials mixed in. This combination enables it to produce white light similar to that we receive from the Sun, as opposed to the slightly yellow light of fluorescents and slightly blue of LEDs. In terms of efficiency, this technology reaches to that of LEDs; more than twice as efficient as compact fluorescent lights. Being made out of plastic, this material can be produce into a multitude of shapes including those needed for light a house or some specialty purpose.
Currently the researchers are working with a manufacturer to bring these to market as soon as next year. When that happens the product will not only lighten up your life, but also do so more safely, as the technology does not use hazardous materials, like those in fluorescent bulbs.

7 Hot male K-pop idols we will always have crushes on
Many K-Pop idols steal our hearts as soon as they take the stage. We swoon and sigh for years over our ultimate favorites, while some never faze us at all. This article is dedicated to just a few from that special group we simply can not stop thinking about it: the male K-pop idols we will always have crushes on.
1. Rain
Kim Tae Hee better watch out because his Clouds adore him! Most of his fan base, which has been with him since 1998, are probably devastated that he is in a serious relationship, but I'll bet none of them want to see his heart broken. They would probably officiate the stars' wedding themselves if it meant Rain would find true happiness.
2. 2PM's Nichkhun
Taceyeon's wife on Ying Jie from We Got Married-Global Edition even had a slight crush on Nichkhun! He has been pretend married to f(x)'s Victoria and even dated Girls' Generation's Tiffany for a short time in real life, but Hottests can't fall out of love with him. The Thai Prince has that special something that attracts fans like bears to honey.
3. EXO's D.O
EXO Next Door made me realize how much of a cutie pie D.O truly is. His character was adorably shy in the short series, and I really wanted him to get more screen time. He may have debuted only 3 years ago, but he will be in our hearts forever.
Am I the only one who couldn't take their eyes off JongHyun in CNBlue's 2012 "Hey You" music video? His handsome face and deep singing voice were completely mesmerizing. The Orange Marmalade star continued to entrance viewers with this year's vampire series and virtual marriage with actress Gong Seung Yeon on We Got Married.
5. U-KISS' Kevin
He is just an all-around lovable guy! Kevin's public image is sweet, caring, and compassionate. Every time he connects with his former co-worker Kim Isak, he is just so loving and kind you can't help but admire him.
The boy band cutie was so lovable in his role as TaeKwang in School 2015. Viewers couldn't help but root for him! When you combine his acting with his musical talent, you have the perfect guy to crush on for years to come.
7. Teen Top's Chunji
Teen Top's music video for "No More Perfume On You" pretty much showed off how endearing Chunji really is. The song's message was disappointing, but I know fangirls wanted to give him a second chance after seeing his winning smile.
Which handsome idol is your favorite?

I thought I'd simultaneously write this note to you and do the homework for the men's group I'm in. Yes, sometimes we guys can multi-task. The subject matter is a basic element of character. A trait we are all drawn to… Integrity.
In the context of the Easter season, integrity can be explained by example of chocolate bunnies. Just by looking at them, a roomful of these chocolate companions can all look pretty good. Once you nibble on the ear of a chocolate Easter rabbit, you'll quickly discover whether it's solid or hollow. Hollow bunnies are different on the outside than they are on the inside. Solid bunnies are chocolate all the way through. So, which chocolate bunny is a better example of integrity?
I want to live my life like a solid chocolate Easter bunny, except for the part about being devoured. So there the analogy ends, and a quick lesson begins. Integrity is the sense of consistency between a person's inner values, and their words and actions in life. That's the kind of person most of us will gravitate to and be willing to follow.
• When words don't overlap with values and actions, they show a lack of honesty.
• When actions don't follow one's words and values, they show a lack of courage.
• When values aren't reflected by actions and words, one might say and do anything to win favor. This is often labeled as "political syndrome."
• When words, actions, and values barely overlap at all, they show a total lack of integrity, being out of touch with reality.
Joseph and Daniel are both great examples of integrity you'll find in the pages of the Bible. Perhaps you can think of someone in your life that reflects integrity. I find God will provide us the choices in life and multiple opportunities to "do the next right thing" when no one is looking and grow in the character He desires for all of us.
Moral of my little story? Don't be a hollow bunny, when solid chocolate is so much better!

Ex-staffer sues NDP MP, alleges 'sexist attitude' by colleague
NDP MP Sylvain Chicoine is being sued by a former staffer who alleges wrongful dismissal after she was harassed by a colleague. (QMI Agency)
Related Stories
OTTAWA - A former NDP staffer has launched a $194,000 lawsuit against NDP MP Sylvain Chicoine, alleging she was wrongly dismissed after being harassed by another staffer.
In a statement of claim filed in the Ontario Superior Court on Friday, Fabiola Ferro alleges she endured "grotesque, degrading and offensive comments" at the hands of David Cimon, who had a "sexist attitude."
She claims he was critical of her work, and was told that she should take on a greater workload because she was a woman without children.
The claims have not been proven in court.
In a conversation with QMI Agency's sister network TVA, Chicoine explained Ferro had complained to her union about the behaviour, but that an investigation found there was no basis to her claim and dismissed it.
"The employee did not accept this decision," a senior NDP offical told QMI Agency.
Ferro was given 30 days to file an official grievance but failed to. The party gave Ferro the option of returning to another office to resume her duties. She apparently declined, walking away from the party until filing documents with the Ontario Superior Court Friday.

Best of the Year 2012: Zainab
I love lists. I especially love lists of comics and books because it usually throws up a whole host of interesting things that I've missed out on (because despite how passionate I am about comics, it's a vast medium). 2012 was, as has been established by most people, a very interesting year for comics. It was the year I became more aware of self- published comics, partly due to the many micro-publishing outfits that sprung up, like Oily Comics, Retrofit, Bill Kartalopoulos' Rebus Books, Patrick Kyle's Distance Mover subscriptions and lots more. I have been a bit cheeky and produced 2 lists (ssshh, don't tell Richard)- one for comic 'books' published through more established publishing houses and one for 'mini-comics' which are independently published. Neither are in any particular order. The ones that have been reviewed either here or on my blog I've linked to (clicking on the title should do it), and I'm afraid there are a few I haven't got around to, which simply means the wonder of discovery is upon you.
Giants Beware by Rafael Rosado, Jorge Aguirre: Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Claudette lives in a town famous for its giant-slaying and huge giant-repelling stone walls. Despite this rich history, the townspeople are now content to sit in their safe haven and no longer actively seek out giants, a development Claudette is not happy with. And so she sets out dragging along her culinary sensation of a little brother and best friend and feminist princess-in-waiting, Marie to do what she has always dreamed of. Bristling with personality, humour and verve, Giants Beware is simply a must-read comic.
But I Really Wanted to be an Anthropologist by Margaux Motin: Richard describes this as 'Posy Simmonds meets Sex in the City': I've never watched Sex and the City so I'm going to take his word for it. I have to admit I grappled a little with this choice, it seems a slight, sort of trifle-y choice, but not everything has to be thematically important and deal with ISSUES. It is so beautifully rendered and the humour so entertaining, you'll find yourself, like me, rifling through it in one sitting.
Through the Walls by Jean-Luc Cornette, Stephane Oiry: Oiry's art made this book for me, his fine-lined whimsy prettily off-setting Cornette's tales:
'Through the Walls is a series of little stories about unconnected people possessing the same ability: to walk through walls, or pass through any kind of material- people animals, metal. Having eased the reader in with a light, humorous opener, Cornette then begins to insinuate ideas that unsettle and make you question. What at first glance appears to be a collection of quirky, light vignettes, turns out to be something altogether off-kilter, and as the book goes on, it interjects a weird thought here, some jarring behaviour there, getting progressively more morally dubious and indeterminate.'
CowBoy by Nate Cosby, Chris Elipoulous: My dad imbued his love of kung-fu movies and westerns in me from a young age and the tone of CowBoy is perfectly done, serious but with knowing asides. It was the first book I read early in the year and knew it would make it to this list:
'On paper, a comic about a 10 year old boy riding through the wild west to round up errant members of his family doesn't sound like it would work -shouldn't work- let alone be one of the best books of the year, but that's exactly what it is. Sick of his family's errant ne'er do-well ways, Boyd has taken the law into his own hands and decided to round them all up one by one and deliver them to the Marshall. The best and perhaps most surprising thing about Cow Boy is the depth of emotion it manages to convey.'
Nobrow 7 Brave New World: Volume 7 of the Nobrow anthology was where it all came together beautifully for me. Both the comics and illustration sections were outstanding and the sheer quality of the contributors involved staggering: Joseph Lambert, Anders Nilsen, Tom Gauld, Jiliina Tamaki, Joost Swarte, Micahel DeForge and many, many others.
'The illustration in Nobrow has always been of a high standard, but as with most multi-author anthologies, the comics have been a little inconsistent, although these have steadily and vastly improved. As much as I enjoyed The Double, Brave New World is a wowzer- it felt like there was a greater creative scope at play here.'
Batman The Court of Owls by Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion: I'm a childhood Batman fan, but I've always read in trades, which allows you to pick and choose the Bat titles you're after. I'm a big fan of what Snyder's doing with the book:
'Snyder describes his approach to Batman as 'steak and potatoes' and on the evidence of this, The Black Mirror and The Gates of Gotham, it's one that serves him well. The Court of Owls combines a lot of elements to deliver a Batman story that triumphs on several levels and is intriguing, entertaining and engrossing.'
Koma by Pierre Wazem, Frederik Peeters: This had a little of everything- ambition without pretension:
'Bold and skewy, imaginative and fresh, bursting with ideas, humour, charm, weirdness and above all just so much heart: in the story, but more from the people behind it, whose sheer effort and talent is evident on every page. It's that heart which pushes you onwards through its flaws and knotty, convoluted bits. . . It jumps from genre and plot-point to sequences like a joyful little character bounding through the stages of a video game, incorporating everything from super-heroics, otherworldly creatures, mystery, family drama, emotion, surrealism, creationism.'
Pippi Moves In by Astrid Lingdren, Ingrid Vang Nyman: I love slightly twisted children's books and this comic adaptation of Pippi Longstocking fulfills that remit beautifully. Vang Nyman's skewy, weird, static drawings (those eyes!) combine with the ultimate parent-less fantasy as Pippi marches through life young, rich and good at everything.
The Complete Rainbow Orchid by Garen Ewing: The first time I read this, and collected together as Ewing originally intended, I believe. I'm a sucker for ligne claire, but Ewing's adventure of a search for a rare, possibly non-existent flower left me more excited than that sentence can possibly recount. I have no further words for it: it's just a fantastic comic.
Amulet 5 Prince of the Elves by Kazu Kibuishi: There are two 'series' I follow religiously- The Stuff of Legend and Kazu Kibuishi's excellent Amulet adventure books. Kibuishi excels at world building and where the last volume felt that perhaps the end was nigh, he developed new angles here in a manner that felt real and fitting and left me once again eagerly looking forward to 2013's book.
Best mini-comics:
The Monkey in the Basement/ It Doesn't Exist by Corinne Mucha: I wrote about Mucha being the queen of mini-comics here, do yourself a favour and go buy some. Monkey won her an Ignatz, but I particularly enjoyed It Doesn't Exist which was more thoughtful in tone.
New Sludge City by Brendan Leach, Retrofit Comics: Box Brown had a stonker of a year with Retrofit Comics, and in an ideal world he would receive recognition of some kind. I'm a fan of Leach's art: its sharp and scrapy looking and he handily writes rather well too. Sludge City reminded me of Inception, but perhaps only in the swapping mind/bodies sense.
Flocks by L. Nichols, Retrofit Comics: A perfect example of what mini-comics can achieve:
'Despite the topical nature of her subjects, Nichols retains an even handed, non-judgmental tone, perhaps because the focus is largely on her individual struggle here. Discussions and stories about religion and homosexuality are still rare, so it makes me proud to see it being done in comics and done in such a beautiful, resonant and evocative manner.'
Gold Star by John Martz, Retrofit Comics: And just to hammer home how awesome Retrofit was this year: this is the fourth entry from them on this list, and no, they're not paying me. Martz's Gold Star= situational comedy with a sharp little twist.
Ablatio Penis by Will Dinski, 2D Cloud: Review upcoming, hopefully. On the surface Dinski's comic appears to be a pithy and timely commentary on politics in the USA and the maneuvering of morals and campaigns, but ostensibly it's about what defines a person and the difference in the way in which we perceive ourselves and the way others perceive us.
Farmer's Dilemma by Sam Alden: A comic about a fox cub raised by two chickens, which is essentially about growing up, expectations and fulfillment. Alden's art is a thing of quiet majesty here. I'm really proud of the fact that I managed to grab a copy of the print edition of this- it's one of my most treasured possessions.
The End of the Fucking World by Charles Forsman, Oily Comics: I've only read the first seven issues of Forsman's slice of Americana out of fourteen and it's pretty breathtaking what he achieves over 12 pages per issue. The reader never feels theyr'e being skimped on in any way: I don't know how he does it, but it's a lesson in storytelling.
Murder She Writes by John Allison: Is there anyone left who hasn't heard of John Allison's comic mastery? It seems perfunctory at this point, but Allison's output and quality shouldn't be taken for granted. As consistently good as Bad Machinery is (and it is very good), I do enjoy the spin-off tales featuring one of the kids outside their normal environment. Mystery is my favourite genre and Lottie my most-loved character, so this was a real treat.
The Whale House by Andrew Cheverton, Chris Doherty, Angry Candy: I really liked this, though it's perhaps technically a first issue rather than a mini-comic. However, I don't know when, or if, we're getting another and it certainly impressed me enough to merit a spot on here. An intriguingly set up mystery complete with rambling country house and oddball characters. I'd love to see more.
Comiques vol 2 by Anne Emond: Anne Emond is very funny and makes comics that are snarky and familiar and warmly-drawn. This is a collection of them. You know someone is good when you wish they produced more work. I wish Emond produced more comics, but I was happy to settle for this this year.
Webcomic of the year: Black is the Colour by Julia Gfrorer at Study Group Comics: there should be no excuse for missing out on this- it's online, it's free, it's bloody superb.
And that is it for 2012. Honourable mentions to Saga and Days of the Bagnold Summer who just missed out on spots. Often when you become really immersed in something it can be difficult to gain perspective and writing about comics does take away the pleasure of reading them a little, which is ironic as that's usually what gets you started in the first place. Looking back, I think what I've personally been most surprised and impressed by has been the discovery of creators who self-publish and distribute and the genuine quality of that output. Most of my reading material has revolved around that area and it's one I'm looking forward to exploring further next year. Happy 2013!

Thanks, Zainab! Illustrious company, to be sure.
Issue 2 of The Whale House is currently being drawn by Chris and is scheduled for the Bristol Comic Expo in May. I'm polishing the otherwise finished script for issue 3 at the moment, and the rest of the series is tightly plotted in script form, so there should be less of a delay with the rest of the series.

I Woke Up Dead at the Mall by Judy Sheehan (March 22)
When Sarah wakes up dead at the Mall of America, she learns that not only was she murdered, her killer is still on the loose. I Woke Up Dead at the Mall is a terrifically fun & voicey YA novel that tackles some of life's – and the afterlife's – biggest questions.
Judy Sheehan's new YA book is definitely something to look forward to this March. From the first page of 'I Woke Up Dead at the Mall,' I was entranced by the beautifully developed setting, interesting characters, and captivating plot. Sarah can't imagine why she woke up in the Mall of America, where all the recently-murdered ghosts of NYC go. She never had any friends, and consequently never had any enemies. As she searches for closure, she uncovers a dirty scheme that went horribly wrong, and struggles to end it. Judy Sheehan has crafted a witty, heart-wrenching novel perfect for fans of John Green and Ned Vizzini that I assure you, you'll love. Keep an eye out for I Woke Up Dead at the Mall, on shelves March 22nd.

Firstly apologies for the lack of updates, the impact of the emerging crisis left me somewhat at the eye of the storm, and though there was much to write about, the speed and scale of the events left me too busy to comment. In addition I was scheduled to make a keynote speech at the Lithuanian economic forum, and this left even less time to devote to commentary.
This is not to say that there has been nothing to talk about.
The complete capitulation of the near century-old Wall St. investment bank model was more sudden and more complete than anyone could have expected- even those of us that have warned that the US had been playing with fire for some time are still staggered by the scale of the collapse.
The after shocks- including the forced consolidation of the British banking market and the growing problems in the European banking market are likely to continue for some time.
We still can not put a number on the scale of the problem. Sufficient to point out, perhaps, that the proposed Paulson bail out of $750 billion represents a number larger than all but about five of the the entire economies of the countries of the World.
It will be many years before the actual liabilities crystallise into the final bill, but it is quite clear that British, as well as American, tax payers will be bearing these new burdens for decades to come. The consequences for the Western economies are serious and will be long lasting.
Amidst all of the tumult, the rational voice of Vince Cable- the leader of the Liberal Democrat Treasury team- stood out. Having largely predicted the direction, if not the scale, of the crisis it was hard not to draw the contrast with the hapless Alastair Darling and the shrill posturing of the Conservative's George Osbourne. I am quite sure that there are many people, and not just amongst the Liberal Democrats, who fervently wish that Dr. Cable was in charge of the Exchequer!
Meanwhile, I will return to the coal face of trying to build an investment business in a world where so many revered institutions have ceased to exist in the forms in which we knew them, and that several centuries-old names have disappeared completely.

What the P2237 code means
P2237 is an OBD-II generic code for the engine control module (ECM) detecting the O2 sensor for bank 1 sensor 1 and has an open circuit for the heater control circuit of the O2 sensor. The ECM tests the sensor circuit after the engine is warmed up.
What causes the P2237 code?
- The O2 sensor has an open circuit in the heater circuit internal of the sensor.
- The heater power relay is shorted to the O2 sensor circuit ground.
- The wiring or connector for the O2 sensor has an open circuit or corrosion in the connections.
What are the symptoms of the P2237 code?
The Check Engine light will be illuminated and the code is set in ECM memory as a fault.
The ECM will turn off the Check Engine light if three drive cycles pass without another failure.
The ECM may go into failure mode fuel control on most manufacturer vehicles.
The engine may have different drivability symptoms depending on the manufacture failure mode controls.
How does a mechanic diagnose the P2237 code?
Scans for codes and documents the code in the ECM and looks at the freeze frame data for failure.
Checks the O2 sensor heater circuit compared to the other O2 sensors to be the same voltage input and control voltages.
Checks the O2 heater circuit for open or short circuit in the sensor.
Tests the O2 sensor wiring is not shorted to the power relay or ground.
Checks the wiring harness for shorts or open circuits from the O2 sensor to the ECM.
Common mistakes when diagnosing the P2237 code?
Clearing ECM memory codes before checking the freeze frame data for the main failure problem, so the failure may be duplicated and repaired
Failing to verify the failure before replacing the O2 sensor
How serious is the P2237 code?
Code P2237 is a code indicating the O2 sensor heater circuit is open or shorted causing the circuit voltage control to be open. This will cause the fuel feedback control to not work and the ECM to put the engine into failure mode. This will also cause the vehicle to fail emissions testing.
What repairs can fix the P2237 code?
- Replace the O2 sensor for an open circuit in the heater circuit.
- Repair the wiring connector or wiring to the O2 sensor.
- Replace the power relay for the heater circuit due to a burned out or shorted circuit that the pinpoint test indicated.
Additional comments for consideration regarding the P2237 code
Code P2237 is caused most commonly from an internal failure of the heater circuit inside the O2 sensor. The O2 sensor wiring cover is also a vent on some O2 sensors and if the cover is cut or removed then the sensor can get water into the back side of the sensor and cause it to short out the heater circuit and blow the O2 sensor heater circuit fuse. Note this if the fuse keeps blowing out when it is replaced. Check all the sensors for intact coverings.

The idea for the Job Fair has its origins in Fursad Fund' strategic plan to create 50,000 opportunities in the next 5 years. In Banadir province, reconstruction is at an all-time high, trade is regaining momentum and thousands of refugees and highly skilled Diaspora members are returning to the capital.
With such high numbers of highly skilled and talented people returning to the country on top of the thousands graduating from local universities, we still lack the right ways and platforms to utilise from this huge available work force. As result, unemployment and poverty in Somalia have forced many young people to migrate in search of a better life through perilous journeys across deserts and seas.
The Mogadishu Job fair is aimed at bringing together local companies with local job seekers to provide an environment where local job seekers can find jobs and local companies can meet their recruitment needs. Our job fairs will develop from just being successful, cost-effective recruitment exhibitions into leading career events throughout Somalia, incorporating not just recruitment.
- To facilitate the hiring needs of local companies and the employment needs of local job seekers.
- To provide a venue to bring together employers and job seekers.
- To stimulate and promote the local economic and employment climate.
- To decrease youth unemployment by creating 5000 opportunities.
- Improve employer perception and satisfaction with the nationally available fresh graduates.
- Promote the region to attract foreign investment opportunities by showcasing the availability and abundance and low cost labor.
For Job Seekers
Over 50 companies are expected at the Fursad Fund Job Fair! This is where job seekers will meet with employers hiring for beginning, technical, and professional positions. Chance to talk with career counselors to answer their job search questions and attend career workshops.
For Exhibitors
A booth at the Job Fair presents an ideal opportunity to fill your job vacancies while providing valuable exposure for your company. The Fair attracts hundreds of job seekers with broad qualifications that could supplement your company with the potentially leaders that could take your company/organization to the next level.
