Yesterday was NOT a good training day for me. I had a 50 mile bike ride scheduled and I already had a headache going into the ride. Even so, I was still motivated to do the ride! I really enjoy being on the bike, but yesterday things just didn't go my way.
The route I chose to take yesterday was one that I had never taken before. I like to use my long bike rides as my "exploration days" and ride places I haven't been before, but I think that may need to change! I clipped into the pedals and I was on the road. Things didn't start off so great. In addition to the headache I was dealing with, I had to drink two bottles of water within the first hour. Maybe a sign I was dehydrated going in?
Any who, I got on the bike and, despite the headache, the first hour I was feeling very strong. I really wanted to challenge myself. I was in the big ring the entire time and getting out of the saddle to attack hills. On this particular route there were PLENTY of hills. This is totally new for me. I haven't felt comfortable in the past getting out of the saddle.
Actually, I haven't felt comfortable doing anything on the bike instead of cycling! I couldn't even take one hand off the bike to pedal two weeks ago! Now I'm getting out of the saddle and last week I was able to un-strap my left cycling shoe while it was still in the pedal [non-triathlete readers, this is like a big deal because it just looks cool :)]. Not such a big deal for seasoned riders! I nearly wrecked last week when I tried to un-strap my right shoe. So, I am getting more comfortable on the bike, which I hope equates to getting stronger overall.
Because I was hitting so many hills I spent 90% of the ride out of the aero position and riding on the hoods which was extremely uncomfortable. I had taxed my legs early on in the ride, the headache was killing me, and my water was starting to boil (maybe exaggerating a little). Mentally I was coming undone. At that point I just wanted to go home. Unfortunately, I did. Somewhere in the midst of ALL of those EXCUSES it seemed like the best thing to do!
What was interesting was once I made it home, I was extremely disappointed in myself. None of those excuses mattered. I had…quit. I didn't want to blog about this but I feel like I have to be honest with first myself, and second the people that are supporting me. I felt a lot of emptiness about stopping 20 miles early.
I even felt a little hypocritical because yesterday was also my children's first kid triathlon. Leading up to the triathlon I had been preaching to them that the two most important things to do were to have fun and not quit. And what had I just done?
Two hours after quitting early on my training ride I was headed to my children's house to pick them up for their first ever kid triathlon. They always call my races the "BIG RACE" so today was their "BIG RACE". I was so excited to watch them following in my footsteps, but I was also EXTREMELY nervous.
My son enjoys the pool but can be a bit apprehensive when it comes to being in the water. My daughter LOVES the water but the distances she had to cover made me a little nervous for her. Here is the kicker, my children don't know how to swim. They were able to use a kickboard for their swim which made it possible for them to participate.
My son's wave started first (4-6 year old boys) and of course my son, whom I was EXTREMELY nervous for in the swim start, was in the deepest part of the pool – 17 feet deep!!! All I could think about was what if he slips off the board?! I was ready to jump right in that pool to get him! They counted the boys down… 10-9-8-7 all the way to 1. It was a loud count down because everyone was excited to get this race stated after a rain delay.
One great thing about the lane he was in was that his was an end lane. That meant I was never more than 3 feet away from him because I was able to walk along the edge with him while he swam (that was a God thing!). I never worried about Kealan except on the swim. He is a tough kid with lots of energy to burn, which often leads to "boy" behavior and gets him into trouble! Kealan had a great swim, although he was getting tired toward the end, but pushed it out to finish. He did one lap around the track on his bike and then a 300 yard run. All of the children were so cute! They ran with their bike helmets on! It was the cutest thing ever!!! Can you imagine if the pros ran the marathon like that in the Ironman? That would be hilarious!
I was able to run alongside Kealan as he sprinted to the finish. And yup! I got emotional. It was parental pride, excitement, and the fact that my son is a big-boy and just completed his first triathlon. Ol' Mr. Kealan, who is full of personality, walked away from the finish like he was the man! ha! He had a certain strut to his walk! You could tell he was proud of his accomplishment. Even so, I think I was probably more excited about this triathlon finish than he was. Kealan's event was actually over pretty quickly and all went well!
Having fought a once-losing battle with my weight most of my life, I have always made it a goal as a parent to try to instill sports and healthy living into my children's lives. Watching Kealan finish and seeing the smile on his face confirmed for me that was a great activity for him. He was pushing himself and enjoying it.
Isabella had a tougher race ahead of her and I knew it. The distance she had to complete most adults probably couldn't do, or at least wouldn't do! Yet there she was…my brave little girl, ready to go! It is in every father's heart to protect their children, especially their daughters, but at what point do you stop protecting them in order to teach them a life lesson?
Isabella's wave (7-8 year old girls) wore pink swim caps, which she loved! (Kealan's wave wore yellow). While she was getting ready for the swim, I asked Isabella if she was nervous and with the sweetest smile you've ever seen she said, "A little." Oh Isabella my sweet little girl, I know that nervousness!
Again, the crowd began to count down from 10. Once the crowd reached 1, Isabella started her 50 yard swim, 1 mile bike ride, and 0.3 mile run. She started really strong! I was impressed that she wasn't that far behind the swimmers and had a really solid kick going. By the time Isabella reached the turn around the other swimmers had created a huge gap. Isabella looked around and noticed she was one of the last people in the water, but even so she continued to kick with everything she had. I wondered what she was thinking when she looked around and saw that most of her peers were swimming without a kickboard. I know what I was thinking! "Isabella you will be truly swimming in this triathlon next year!!!"
Isabella made it out of the water and prepared to jump on her bike. I helped tie her shoes and as I'm tying you know what that little rascal asked me?! "Dad, are you almost done so I can go?" Geesh Isabella, well I guess she was in race mode! She took off out of the transition area smiling and in full stride.
The way the spectator area was set up it was a journey to see the bike portion. I missed Isabella's first lap but made it in time to see her last two. She was moving along and by her third lap I could see she was getting tired. She jumped off her bike and started the 0.3 mile run. This is where my 7 year old daughter taught ME the lesson I had been trying to teach to both of my children!
Isabella started her one lap run and about halfway through began holding the right side of her abdomen. Yup! A side stitch! We have all been there and know what painful little buggers those things can be. Suddenly my little girl's race didn't look fun. I was immediately overcome with guilt. I was trying to teach her a lesson about achieving goals through fitness and it was causing her so much physical pain. So much, in fact she began to cry. Gulp. I held back tears as I tried to encourage her. "It's ok Isabella. You can walk a little. Let's walk to this cone and….hey! There's your mom. Walk to this cone then run to your mom!" Her mom saw that Isabella was having a tough race and ran over to encourage her as well. At this point Isabella was really crying…LOUD! I felt like the worst dad ever!
By the time Isabella made it to her mom she was at the same starting point as Kealan's run; 300 yards to go. Isabella, with a look of fierce determination, sprinted to the finish while her mom and I ran alongside her. She was holding her side and crying…tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Hey, she finished! She and her brother were then given participant ribbons (They weren't handing those out at the end of Kealan's race).
Isabella was still crying as her grandmother and other family members came over to tell her how proud of her they were! I could see something starting to change inside her at that point. Those tears of pain and frustration were starting to give way to a smile. She was starting to feel accomplished. She finished a tough race and earned her title as a kid triathlete.
When it was time to start heading toward the car, Isabella said, "We don't have to run do we?" Ha! No we don't have to run now Isabella! En route to the car we passed a big tent where they were setting up trophies. I saw both Isabella and Kealan eyeing the trophies. I told them they can get them next year if they compete in all 4 triathlons of the series.
They were both immediately ready to sign up for next year's triathlons! Isabella had forgotten about the pain she had experienced and was basking in her accomplishment. Her pain didn't matter at all! She had achieved her goal and was ready for the next event. They both were!
As we were all walking to the vehicles, I found myself walking alone. I called Isabella, who was really smiling now, to walk with me. Something was baffling me! Something I needed to understand about my daughter. I asked Isabella, in that calm you-can-be-honest-with-me daddy voice, "Isabella, you could have stopped when you were hurting. Baby, why didn't you stop?"
She looked up at me and said in calm, assured voice, "I wanted to finish."
I let Isabella walk ahead of me after that. I couldn't let her see me wiping the tears from my eyes. Even as I write this I can feel the tears starting to form in my eyes. That's it baby, I get it! My daughter in that very moment taught me the lesson that I had been trying to instill in both of my children. Despite what she was feeling in that moment, she had a goal that was bigger than the pain she was feeling.
Somehow, I let that determination slip away from me in my training ride earlier in the day. My mental toughness had waned. How did this happen? I have a goal that is bigger than what I was feeling on my training ride. It's not every day your 7 year old teaches you a lesson about competition. I certainly needed to be reminded of this one. So I wouldn't forget again…I asked Isabella again why she didn't stop and this time I got her answer on video.
My son and daughter aren't yet swimmers, but they were brave enough to get into the water to race. They didn't care if they beat anyone or not. They could have come in last and would still have enjoyed the post-race pizza party just the same! They competed against themselves and probably never even thought about not finishing the race. It probably never crossed their minds. The best part? The absolute best part was on the way home… they both were talking about next year's competitions and winning those trophies!
I learned a lot from my children yesterday. In fact, I learned what I had been trying to teach them.
"Kealan and Isabella! What are the two most important things to remember today?"
"And what else?"
Thanks guys for teaching daddy a lesson!
p.s. I will be adding video and pictures shortly.
"Then why did God make me so small and weak?" "So He can show you how mighty He is!" (from the movie Facing the Giants)
This is my life, my story from looking out of project windows, to addiction, to being overweight, to sobriety and Ironman Cozumel '10. Somewhere in the midst of all that chaos, I found Christ.

World's poor targeted for population reduction…
Help the Friday Fax track and expose this new population conspiracy…
May 27, 2009
Dear Reader of the Friday Fax,
A cabal of the world's richest men and women just met in
The purpose of the meeting was to coordinate their charitable giving. That sounds wonderful doesn't it? Until you hear what they agreed on.
They agreed that the world's number one problem is that there are too many poor people. That's nice, too. There are too many poor people. And what is their solution?
These fabulously wealthy people with their grand houses, private jets, yachts and lavish lifestyles decided to pool their massive resources and declare war on the world's poor by spending billions of dollars on population control!
This group met a few days ago in
This is a veritable rogues gallery of anti-life and anti-family plutocrats. Ted Turner is a long time supporter of forcing poor countries to support abortion and population control. David Rockefeller is one of the founders of the modern population control movement and through his Rockefeller Foundation has paid billions for it.
And these guys are not just for population control;
They are also anti-Christian!
The Rockefeller Foundation is one of the big funders of the anti-Catholic anti-life groups that calls itself Catholics for Choice. Ted Turner gave a speech at the UN several years ago in which he attacked his childhood Christianity and was given a standing ovation for doing so!
There is a massive resurgence of population control activity.
Just a few weeks ago, we reported in our Friday Fax that the UN just issued a new report calling for increased spending to reduce the fertility rate (that is UN-speak for population control) in the developing world!
I will put aside the question of whether these guys have gotten the news that the big population problem in the world today is not rapidly growing populations but rather the "graying of the population" precisely because of UN style population control programs.
I bring this to your attention because as there is renewed spending on these issues and that the UN is back into the population control business so much that there is a profound need for the continuing health of C-FAM's Friday Fax…

The Church affirms that parents have the right and duty to be the primary educators of their children. However, giving children an adequate preparation for adult life, particularly with regard to the truth and meaning of human sexuality, can be difficult, especially amidst the confusing and sometimes harmful messages and trends in the broader culture.
After more than a year of prayer, research, and review, the archdiocesan Human Sexuality Formation committee is ready to help. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, there are several very good resources and programs that can be used in a variety of ways in a parish, a school or even at home.

Most ADHD People Can Find Wholeness
My intent in writing this blog is to discuss the disability called Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) which widely exists in our modern society, that largely goes unnoticed by the majority of people who don't have it. It is not apparent how widespread ADD is in society, but it seems like it is spreading as the population expands. Hardly a time goes by when someone doesn't tell me that they, one or more of their kids, their spouse, or a sibling has ADD. The things that I write here are not so much about me, but about ways in which people who have been cursed by problems initiated by this disability can learn to live constructive lives. Instead of presenting the subject in the usual manner of writing about the daily mundane topics about medications or the various little tricks people can do to make their lives run more easily, I am looking at the "bigger picture" and saying that one of the contributing factors of ADD is the refusal of people in society to learn to make the most out of what they are given. We are all given very good brains that can perform miraculous feats, yet we are content with using, what amounts to, super mega computers to perform simple arithmetic. Some in society would claim I am looking for a utopian society or I am prying into other people's lives trying to manipulate them. I am only making an observation and stating the obvious. In my own life, I have learned to "reprogram" how I use my brain to do more of the things I want to do, like read more effectively or communicate more clearly. These are approachable goals once we understand how our minds work. Regardless, I have received my share of criticisms about not accepting myself as I was before or wanting to reap "unrealistic" wishes to come true. Some have suggested it was based on negative views of myself for not accepting myself as I was before and wanting to change something about me. People are constantly changing their appearance, their behaviors, their physique, and the way they dress. I have had deficiencies in my communication skills when I was in my early 20s. I wanted to have more friends, but I couldn't have more friends until I learn to communicate more effectively, where people could understand me better and want to spend more time talking with me. Why not work to improve this if I have the desire?
I have had a history of ADD-like symptoms and dyslexic-related symptoms. I had been tested for dyslexia when I was in the 5th grade. It was ruled out, but I can attest to much sluggishness in my reading abilities that hound me to this day. Perhaps, the reasons are all related to ADD, but what difference does it make now? It is in the last 5 years that I am happy with the time I spend reading a book. I have read about 2 dozen books in the last couple of years. If I didn't need to work, I would be spending a majority of my time reading. I still enjoy reading books made out of paper, with covers and paper pages in the middle. No Kindles or Nooks here, yet. After reading, the next source of frustration for me was (and still is) in the area of memory. There is the day-to-day forgetfulness comprising of dozens of activities throughout the day. Then there is the long-term forgetfulness of things I made efforts to learn, yet fade into nothingness. People tell me I am being too hard on myself when I complain that I forget things too much. People will tell me that they forget things all the time, but I'm still led to believe I do it much more, and with more frequency than others. Over time, I still believe things will get better about the way I mentally process information. I believe my memory will continue to get better. Exactly how long it will take to get to that level of competence is hard to say. It could be another year or so.
I believe there are other dimensions to our minds most people are unaware of. Practices like meditation can help reveal these. Meditation can teach a person to directly focus upon their inner mind. Then when we want to introduce new ways of thinking, the ego's urge to resist will be quieter. I believe people, even people with ADD, can bring subtle changes to the way they think, that can help pave the way to significant lasting changes in the future. The primary ingredient to this happening is for the person to believe.

The last time I flew was over Memorial Day weekend, when I was chosen for the full body scan and refused to walk into the machine. This is actually a long span of time for me to go without flying. Usually I have to travel for business at least once or twice a month, but I guess I've been going through a dry spell. At any rate, at the airport on Monday evening, I was reminded of why I normally try to fly Southwest. I flew United only because there were more direct flights to where I was going. And was reminded through a cancellation, delay, and reroute via a connection (I always fly direct) why I stopped flying United. But all of that is neither here nor there, and I'm over it. The purpose of this post is about the ridiculousness of people once a plane starts boarding.
On Southwest, you don't deal with these issues because everyone has a letter and a number, and everyone lines up according to letter and number, single file, in order. And boarding commences. Don't try to cheat your way before it's your turn either, because the Southwest personnel are vigilant.
Not so much on the other airlines. My plane was a Boeing 747, full flight, so over 300 people were hanging around the boarding area at O'Hare waiting for the flight to start boarding. Now remember, even United now has boarding sections in large black lettering on each ticket. You are only supposed to board the plane when your section is called. (Purportedly, this is to make the boarding process go faster, but I'm not sure that effect has been reached.) So, the United boarding agent makes the announcement for First Class to start boarding, and chaos ensues. These are the types of people you get:
1. People who have high boarding section numbers (like 3 or 4), but yet insist upon crowding around the boarding agent, even though their section isn't going to be called for at least twenty minutes. These people seem to have no clue that they are blocking the area that the lower section numbers need to walk through in order to get on the plane so that the higher section numbers can be called. It's like they are purposely making their wait longer. To make it worse, they won't even move when the people who are holding tickets with the section number being called are trying to get through. They stand there and either stare or ignore, and even if the boarding agent tells people to move away from the boarding area so people can get through, they still continue to stand right there. I hate these people.
2. People who try to board outside of the section number. These are the people who have a section 3 or 4 boarding pass, yet try to board when section 1 is boarding. It's bizarre and annoying. Why do these people think the rules don't apply to them? Occasionally, the boarding agent will catch them and tell them to wait; otherwise, they get on. I guess this is why they continue to do it. I think if you try to do this and get called on it they should make you board the plane last.
3. People who hang back and simply wait for their section to be called. These are the people who are doing it right.
Ah, flying. What a joy.

Always an amazing week in the service of God.
Nothing too crazy happened this week just the same old same old and it has been glorious. C. is doing amazing and sharing the Gospel already. She is so prepared. Her kids are doing well. President Adams interviewed her and shared his experience with it in MLC. He said that is has been one of the sweetest experiences of his mission. He is confident that she will stay strong the rest of her life. Such a blessing to be apart of that. The beautiful thing that all of us have that potential inside of us.
I found that out this week. We received a training in District meeting about daily contact and it really strengthened my testimony of it. Well right after District meeting we found this new investigator named N. We decided to have daily contact with him. We have only taught him once but have texted him every day since and his potential/interest has shot through the roof. It has been amazing to see. Application is powerful.
There is this other potential investigator named P. and she is very christian and is one of those people who would just love the missionaries. Would read the Book of Mormon but never really understand the importance of the Restoration. We have never taught her just talked on her porch, but I figured daily contact could help with her too. So we stopped by one night and she was just amazed that we would come to see her and her interest increased. Everyone has the potential to be amazing we just need to help them get there.
I learned a valuable lesson this week. We were on exchanges with the Zone Leaders double working our area and we set a goal to get 72 TTI's (a TTI is where you talk to someone and teach a principle, testify of it, and invite them to do something.) Well as much as I prayed for it and worked for it it didn't happen, BUT I learned. I realized that there are so many people that I just walk past because it is awkward but really they are the ones I need to talk to most. So I have decided that if I don't have one awkward situation trying to talk to some one I am doing my job wrong.
General Conference was amazing of course!!!!
I love you all.
God answers prayers. So pray.

Democratic Arguments on the Danish Cartoons
Haroun Siddiqui
Read here original article
The controversy surrounding the cartoons featuring the Prophet Muhammad has given rise to several propositions that deserve to be debated.
It is said that Muslims are trying to force non-Muslims to live by Islamic taboos.
Not so.
Muslims in the West are only asking that democracies live up to their rules — exercise freedom of speech with the concomitant responsibility of self-restraint, and also respect people of all faiths or no faith at all.
This is not a new proposition. It has always been a balancing act between competing rights.
That's why Jyllands-Posten's publication of the offensive drawings was "juvenile," in the apt phrase of a New York Times editorial. That's why most dailies in Canada and the U.S. have refused to reprint the cartoons (not because they are "afraid," as some polemicists say).
It is said that only the fundamentalists and conservatives are offended.
Not so.
The offence is broadly felt. Some take to the streets, millions don't. Critics include such "moderates" as Hosni Mubarak and Hamid Karzai.
Many non-Muslims are upset as well, including the Vatican ("an unacceptable provocation") and Grand Rabbi Joseph Sitruk of France.
It is said that the controversy raises doubts about whether Muslim immigrants can be integrated in Europe.
From a Canadian perspective, I find this particularly specious.
We have in the past spouted similar nonsense about Catholics and Jews, and also against the Chinese, Japanese, Italians and other "unassimilable" groups.
In hurling this charge at Muslims, the Europeans are exposing their own bigotry.
It is said that Arabs/Muslims are being hypocritical in criticizing the cartoons since they routinely demonize Israel, even Jews.
I said so myself in the Sunday column. But later I thought it to be an argument of limited value. It says, in effect: "Since they do it, we can do it, too."
No, we ought to conduct ourselves by our own democratic standards (see above).
It is said that the Muslim reaction to the depiction of the Prophet constitutes selective outrage because Muslim artists have drawn the likeness of him.
Some have through the ages, mostly in miniatures. These are stored in the famous Topkapi Palace Library in Istanbul or other collections. Most, however, do not show his face. The few that do are relics of history. The ban is now widely accepted and observed.
That should suffice as a guide to our democratic conduct. Otherwise, it will be open season on the belief systems of others. Today it is Islam, tomorrow it may be some other faith.
It is said that there would have been no uproar had some Danish Muslim leaders not gone to the Middle East to drum up support.
They had every right to seek allies, anywhere. They were not out stoking violence and are not responsible for it. The real culprits are those who created the controversy.
Moreover, the small Muslim delegation went abroad only after both the newspaper and the government had refused to listen to their concerns.
(Memo to media everywhere:
When the people you have offended come calling, see them. It's just courtesy and does not amount to bowing to pressure. In fact, in this business we routinely listen to the rich and the powerful, whereas it is the marginalized that need more of our attention.)
(Memo to the editors of Jyllands-Posten:
If you were striking a blow for freedom of speech, why did you grovel once the economic boycott started to bite and you felt the domestic heat? And if you are indeed sorry, how come the cartoons keep cropping up in other publications, presumably with your permission?)
It is said that the consumer boycott of Danish products is misplaced, in that it hurts innocent Danish businesses and workers.
It does. That's always so with boycotts. And economic sanctions.
The 1991-2003 sanctions on Iraq killed nearly 1 million innocent Iraqis, half of them children.
One does not justify the other but the context is not irrelevant.
It is said that no grievance justifies violence.
But the biggest victims have been Muslims — 11 dead so far, killed by their own anti-riot police in Afghanistan, Somalia and elsewhere. That speaks to the pathology of Muslims.
But that's not what's driving the narrative here. Rather, it is the damage caused to Danish embassies and the fear of terrorism that conflates all Muslims with terrorists.
This, too, is selective outrage.

A Piece of Advice
Throughout my career, I have supervised many people who are just entering the workforce or are very early in their careers. I tell them all the same thing: Collect as many experiences as possible. Participate in as many things as you can. It may not seem useful or relevant now, but you never know when that experience might be useful down the road. Phi Delta Theta affords the opportunity to do this before you begin your career. Sit on committees. Volunteer for the job no one else wants. Run for the chapter office you've always wanted. I can say, without a doubt, those things will help you become a leader both in school and, subsequently, in your career.

The CBI on Monday questioned Trinamool Congress MP from Birbhum, Satabdi Roy, in connection with the Sarada chit fund case. Roy, an actor, was questioned at her residence in Kolkata for about an hour, sources said. "We wanted to question her, and as per her convenience, it was done at her residence. We will first work on the inputs given by her, and then decide our next course of action," said an officer.
Sources said Roy (48) was a brand ambassador of the Saradha group. "She had promoted the brand, and had apparently taken money from the group," said an officer. The main accused in the case, Sudipta Sen, had purportedly claimed in a letter to the CBI that Roy had been the brand ambassador of the Saradha group. He claimed to have paid her Rs 2 lakh per month for her role.
Sources said Sen had transferred about Rs 14 lakh to Roy's account over a span of seven months. Roy had later claimed it was her fee for being the brand ambassador. Roy too had claimed she had only been a part of a puja inauguration and some press conferences hosted by the group. Roy was earlier questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in New Delhi last year. She was also summoned by the CBI once.
Another actor-turned-politician and former Trinamool MP, Mithun Chakraborty, had also been questioned by the ED on May 15. He had claimed his relationship with the Saradha group had been professional, and that he had charged money for appearing in its advertisements. Claiming he had not been aware of the "intentions" of the group, he returned the money he had taken — Rs 1.20 crore — for endorsing it.

One night I noticed a sad alcohol ridden couple that were partying it up among themselves at the Ninth Circle on a slow night. They ended up gravitation towards me...well the woman (really) started talking to me for her friend, breath reeking of Frangelico. She then asked what I thought of her friend...I said something like "His shoes are small and don't match his outfit" which she apparently thought was the most hilarious thing ever said...next thing I knew, her tongue was in the back of my throat...LADY BACK OFF I ONLY ALLOW DICKS THERE!!! Apparently this warranted her friend to troll over and feel me up...then she asks the question "Are you a hooker?" and I reply "Me? Why would you think that?"
****I was wearing something close to this in December****
Next thing I remember is my friend Sunny Oz yelling across the bar "Have fun with the breeders" as we made way up the stairs and outside into a cab. What the bloody hell have I done? I am in a cab heading to a hotel in the financial district sandwiched between the two oddest people I could ever have met in a gay bar. I have visions of blowing the Iron Sheikh driving the cab to get out of this mess. We end up at a the Marriott Hotel in the financial district and into the elevator we all stand when the doors close. The elevator goes up and stops, she gets off and screams "have fun"...He and I go go up another floor and into his room. He passes out almost instantly, I'm bored and hate Marriott TV channels...look around to see..MINIBAR. It's like a vending machine, you pull, it dispenses and apparently charges the room. I find this out by flipping channels to the room info screen on the TV and see $375 charges to minibar after I'd filled my backpack with random crap like candy, nuts and airplane sized liquor bottles. A few hours later I shower before he gets up. Once he's up, with a hangover from hell and ready for his shower, I tell him I needed to get home before my parents realize I didn't come home. I loved the fact that he didn't know I was "homeless" and could use the "I'm in high school" approach to get out of there quickly. He said he thought I was at least 21 up to this point and offered me "hush" money...Who knew being underage could be so lucrative? I hit the door ASAP without the contents of my bag clinking together and power walked out the hotel and down the street to the train uptown to hang out and blend in to the rest of the city. I often wondered if he disputed the charges and how he explained it all...Good times for sure but definitely not for someone over the age of 18.

MONTRÉAL, QC – After a dramatic 1-point game over Sun State earlier in the day, #6 Boston faced #10 Rocky to decide who would advance to play for 5th and 7th, respectively. In a surprisingly tight contest (considering the ranking difference), similar styles of play resulted in relatively split stats across the board: lead designation (46% vs. 51%, favoring Rocky), penalties (27 vs. 35, also favoring Rocky), and power jams (10 vs. 9, favoring Boston).
Both teams relied on braced 2-wall defense while sending designated offense (when full packs afforded such), again, showing very similar results as the game showcased many lead changes and momentum swings. In general, pack play was much faster than other games of the weekend – allowing both team's proclivity towards speedy, nimble jamming and flexible, dynamic defense to end in an exciting win for Boston, decided in the last jam.
The first two jams would be an accurate prediction of the events to come, as the game began with a quick 5-0, Boston over Rocky, as Havoc was boxed early and Maya Mangleyou put up the first points of the game. In Jam 2, Rocky's Wild E. Coyote returned the favor, putting up 9 while Boston's Space Invader was boxed on a track cut.
While Boston would retain their lead for the entire period, Rocky's palpable energy heading into this bout kept scoring limited for the higher seed with smart star passes. If Boston gained lead, Rocky would answer in the next jam, and power jams were evenly traded. With the exception of jam 16, when Boston's McClean picked up 18 points over Rocky's long-time veteran She Who Cannot Be Named (pushing their score to 79-52), Rocky kept the differential close despite having twice as many box trips in the period, to end the period trailing by a single point, 86-85.
The second half started with Maya Mangleyou (Boston) and Havoc (Rocky Mountain) facing off again, though, this time Havoc quickly obtained lead by dancing up the outside line and grabbed 4 points before Boston could answer. With Rocky taking their first lead, 89-86, and fafter Wild E. Coyote was boxed late in the second jam, Space Invader spun out of the pack to grab lead and return the score to their favor, 100-98. Continuing the trend of trading lead calls and points, the first ten minutes of play barely showed a 4 point lead in either team's favor.
Boston was gifted the opportunity to blow open a lead in jam 7 when Havoc was boxed, allowing Space Invader used her fancy feet as her defender Rock played devastating defense to net a 19-0 – the biggest jam of the game. Rocky then called an appropriate time-out, resulting in a swing in their favor as Boston's Hardcore was boxed twice in the subsequent jam. However Rocky's opportunity was limited as Sweet E, Rock and BFF Anna worked over Fiona Grapple to kill the power jam, and only gave up 4 points; 134-115 Boston. They continued to swap jams and scoring runs and Rocky gained another power jam in jam 11 with a 15-0 run for Havoc, closing the score to 134-130.
With 13 min left on the clock, Boston again lost their jammer to the box, as Sweetie Ramone for Rocky took advantage of a light pack to picked up another 5, and another lead change, 139-138 Rocky. The lead was short-lived as Rocky's jammer was boxed on a track-cut as Space Invader came out of the box to get lead jammer, 9 points and return the lead to Boston's favor. This trend would continue throughout the remained of the period, excepting a late-game jammer penalty for Havoc in jam 19, giving Boston the chance to open their lead and secure their win.
However, Rocky had other plans, and drew a back block on McClean to recoup the opportunity. With the clock stopped at 3:45, Rocky also took an official review to contest a cut on McClean late in the jam, while they sat on an 8-point deficit, 172-164. Winning the review, Rocky used the power start to gain a cut call themselves as Wild E. Coyote was forced to the inside but unfortunately bettered her position when returning to play. After McClean returned to play she also cut to return the power jam to Rocky only to see Coyote getting a blocking out of bounds call.
In the last jam with 1:41 left, Rocky's jammer boxed, Boston was up 176-164; Boston fielded Space Invader (their highest scorer, with 52 points over 10 jams) and gained lead, while Wild E. Coyote (Rocky's leading scorer with 69 points over 15 jams) was boxed after a short-lived return to the track, securing the win for Boston 186-164.
In a fast, physical game, Rocky Mountain lost May Q. Pay to 7 fouls, and Boston demonstrated not only their physical endurance, but their mental endurance to perform under the pressure of a second close game in one day. Though, while Boston blockers BFF Anna, Sweet Enemy and Rock locked down brutal defense, Boston as a whole were unable to adjust to the quick paths taken by Rocky jammers, such as Havoc who capitalized on the outside line, jam after jam. Having entered the bracket at #10, Rocky will exit the tournament having bettered their ranking in the 7th place game at noon EDT, while Boston hopes to do the same in the 5th place game, Sunday at 2pm EDT.

Brett, Jayson and I
My cousin Brett came over again on Sunday afternoon. He is a long haul trucker and he drives for Interstate Trucking. Whenever he is in town, he calls. I love having him call and visit. We always lived far away from each other when I was little so I didn't get to know him as well as I would have liked. Since January, we have seen each other more than we previously did our whole entire lives. I think since January, we have seen each other 6 or 7 times. I love family. They make everything worthwhile.

No? Allow me to reintroduce you.
Yeah, that's the one.
That very red wall--one might even call it maroon--has rubbed me the wrong way for awhile now. It was slightly more than tolerated at Christmas for creating a lovely backdrop to our tiny tree.
Otherwise it was a dark corner of overbearing color, sucking the light--nay, the very soul--out of our otherwise kinda sweet house.
Why? Why a dark red flat paint for the one part of the house? The rest of the house's walls were delivered to us in unassuming shades of "eh". With an appropriate eggshell finish.
Gentle reader, allow me to tell you what you do about such a color monstrosity. Go instantly to your nearest Lowe's and buy everything you'll need to transform that wall into a delightful, gleaming beacon of Clark Household loveliness. Fall in love with the color swatch for the "Gold n' Sugar Cookie" paint finish--you know it will transform your morning coffee corner into the European Cafe you know it to be.
Then take it all home and let it sit around for 7 months.
This will, um, let you get ready for the painting process. Painting 2 square feet of wall can be an overwhelming process, and you don't want to just dive in without proper preparation.
Seven months of sitting around will just let you really get your DaVinci on.
Okay, fine, I was a lazy procrastinator. All kinds of busy and useful things happened around the house while I let that wall sit. A new year started. We got Osama Bin Laden. Brendon and his mom did everything from major plumbing work to installing ceiling fans...while I let that wall stay red.
Apparently my 7-month itch finally needed to be scratched. I busted out the trusty Sugar Cookie paint, the primer, that blue tape, and various drop cloths to protect my beloved distressed wood floors.
Let's just say that they are now further distressed. Sadly due to my ineptitude. I just didn't read the instructions on the Kilz primer. When I opened it up and it looked like a jar of natural peanut butter--with the oil separated on the top--I did exactly what I do with that peanut oil.
I poured it off.
So, um, it was a very long and challenging process to apply that primer. Several times I considered changing the roller for a spatula. I should have used a kitchen implement. It was like priming with cottage cheese.
Luckily I had Pandora to keep me company, and at first my new Depeche Mode station gave me the energy that one can only get from an 80s movie-esque Painting My House Will Change My Life montage. Yeah, my shoulders ached and it was taking forever to apply that cheesy primer, but I was rocking out to bumpin' music only a Cassio can create.
I moved on to painting, hours later. And yeah, there was an actual curve to the learning curve. I stirred the Sugar Cookie can's contents and found it much easier to apply.
To my hair.
Once the process was finished (by then I'd nixed the idea of applying the gold finish...I couldn't feel my shoulders and I was concerned about how well the drop cloths were sticking to the floors) I tried to scrub the paint from my fingers.
As hard as that was, when I discovered I had a lot in my hair, I just cut it out.
Um, it was kind of a lot. And only later did I realize it was rather easy to wash out of my hair. Awesome. Now I have a haircut to match my Pandora station.
And frankly, Pandora, I don't appreciate your determination to prepare me for parenthood. Yeah, I tell you that I like Depeche Mode and you'll obediently play it for me.
And then you throw in a little U2; okay, yeah, I'll accept that. Suddenly a little...Coldplay? Will you listen to some Coldplay? Weeeell...yeah, I'll take it, but only because it's a fast song.
Then bam, you hit me with some stupid slow ballad by a really lame artist. What? No. Stop what I'm doing and stomp over to the computer. Thumbs down.
And the process repeats, like a little toddler testing a parent's boundaries. How far can I go before she hates the song enough to get up from what she's doing? How bad does the artist have to be for her to discipline me?
Argh. I'm not a mom yet, but thanks, Pandora, for giving me a little taste.
Anyway, back to the wall. I admit I was a bit disappointed in all the time I wasted on the prep work of taping and drop cloth-ing. You already know that the drop cloth didn't serve much of a purpose. Well, neither did the tape. See, when you apply paint as thick as a dairy topping to your walls, large chunks of it will come off with your blue border tape.
So now I have peeling border pieces of Sugar Cookie blowing in the breeze of the air conditioner, revealing the primer and red layers underneath.
Whatever. I was too exhausted at that point to care. And I had gone into the whole thing with the mentality that it would be a learning process. I would make mistakes, and I would be okay with them.
Hm. It seems that I created my Euro Cafe after all. My mistakes gave me a funky new haircut, stained floors, and peeling paint...so European. So I say that I did it on purpose, to create the full experience of being at a little sidewalk table in Spain. Muy bien!

Can anyone tell me why an Emirate as wealthy as Dubai needs to lure the rich with celebrity endorsed real estate? Don't they have enough wealth there already?
From the Wall Street Journal, Celebrity Endorsers Help to Lure the Rich to Dubai.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Property developers in this Persian Gulf sheikdom, famous for its grandiose projects, are increasingly turning to American and European celebrities to help sell the properties to wealthy consumers.
Mr. Pitt joins Wimbledon champion Boris Becker, fashion designer Giorgio Armani and golfers Greg Norman and Tiger Woods, among others, who have staked their reputations on helping Dubai property agents lure wealthy foreigners.
Mr. Armani's development, which includes condos and a hotel being built by Emaar Properties, will compete with Palazzo Versace, a hotel that will feature furniture and fittings selected by rival designer Donatella Versace.
Would I go out of my way to stay in a Brad Pitt designed hotel....probably not. I'm not sure how anyone is going to cash in on his environmentally friendly design skills.
But, I can see how the over the top design by Donatella Versace would be perfect for over the top Dubai.

Happy SUNday! :)
Have you found your favorite pair of sunnies yet? Well here are some of my favorites from different places. There is a range of prices from cheap to not cheap lol. Personally I wouldn't pay more than $45 for a pair unless you are paying for some type of special lens. You can ALWAYS find an affordable pair like the expensive ones you want. For example, the orange/yellow Aldo aviators in the top of the second row look just like these $170 Raybans. Happy SUNDAY! :)
I am on the hunt for a cheaper version of THESE AMAZING BEAUTIES!

There is a dance tomorrow night, and my boyfriend and I are going as Sims from the computer game, The Sims. I had today off from work, so I spent several hours making the floating green diamond thingies that float over a Sim's head. I made them out of green cellophane, 20-gauge wire, some ribbon, and tape. Don't ask about the pattern, it's too hard to explain. The dance's theme is "Come As You Aren't," and we're not computer game characters, so we're going as them. :) And if anybody else comes as a Sim, I'm going to knock their floating green diamond thingy into the next screen.
I've skipped a few dances over the last two weeks, partly because I was a bit danced out, and partly because I'm just too lazy to hang out for three hours after work waiting for the dances to start. I guess I haven't been having fun unless I'm with Chris or the few guys I normally dance with. Chris decided to come with me last night, and we spent an hour beforehand teaching each other some steps: he taught me a few Lindy Hop moves and I walked him through both natural and reverse Viennese Waltz. Even if he wasn't my boyfriend, I must still acknowledge his talent and lightness. I'm horribly jealous in a totally awesome way. :)
I took the Praxis II General Science Content Knowledge Essays in November, and received my score notification in December. The score numbers were reported, but the report did not indicate whether or not I'd actually passed the test. I called OSU, ETS (the testing people), and the Oregon Department of Education. Between four calls and over forty minutes on hold, I learned that the test I retook was not required by the State of Oregon for teacher licensure. I want my $300 back! So, at this time, I have completed all of the required tests. The only thing left to become a teacher is an approved teacher education program, either a Master's program or a BS in Education and a Master's in something else within ten years. At this time, I'm very content to continue in my current job and worry about teaching later.
Stuff to do... people to talk to... my life has become full of "real life" again, and it's keeping me from the blog. For some reason, I'm okay with that. :)

GREAT costume idea. Who else would possibly think of that? Bet you get at least one nun there, though.
I don't write as much as I would like, either, but when I don't have babies that fit in my lap, I'll write more then, and be a little sad, I think.

I never did understand how some people can get themselves so heated up when they drive on the road. Like KL taxi drivers. Oooh, they are scareee when they're in a bad mood. My sister, Sara, is hilarious on the road! She swears to high heavens at people in the car, probably learned this in KL or can be traced to her dysfunctional childhood. Even random people walking by are not spared!
Sara: MOVE OVER, BITCHES!!!
Me: 0_0 (but it's not like they can hear anyway)
However, I do feel uneasy when people get angry at other drivers and show it in their driving such as sudden acceleration of the vehicle or these superhuman turns at corners (oh wait, that's me). It makes your passengers sit at the very edge of their seat, holding their breath till the engine is finally turned off and everyone can finally breathe normally again.
So you can imagine my horror when Sara flips the middle finger at some guy who ran the red light and got in the way while I was U-turning. =_= He was definitely in the wrong but the line of rempits (motorcyclists) waiting patiently behind him looked appalled. And his car was full of kids. KIDS. OMGWTFBANANAS.
I do hope Terengganu motorists won't start flippin' the middle finger at me too. Makes for some really unpleasant driving. Running the red lights are so common in Kuala Terengganu, it's expected (so you have to watch it at traffic lights). Then there are the motorcyclists who think their heads are invincible or look suspiciously underaged. Just remember that Malaysian saying,
Or watch this for good measure!

Regular readers know that without disclosure of each bank's current asset and liability-level data, bank bondholders will be protected just like depositors.
Without this level of disclosure, bank bondholders and other creditors do not have the data they need to assess the risk of the bank. Therefore, if policymakers and financial regulators want the banks to have access to the capital markets, they have to protect the debt.
The question is how to transition from where we are today (only the financial regulators have access to this data and bondholders are protected from losses) to a point in time in the future (when all market participants will have access to this data and bondholders can incur losses).
The transition requires two activities:
- banks must be required to disclose all of their current asset and liability-level data through a data warehouse with 5 years. This information will be provided for free to market participants;
- governments will guarantee all debt issued prior to the availability of a bank's current asset and liability-level data in the data warehouse. Banks have an incentive to disclose their data as quickly as possible because the market will assume a delay in disclosure reflects the fact that a bank has something to hide and will reduce its access to and drive up its cost of funds regardless of any government guarantee.
Removing the implied guarantee from bank bondholders is another reason that European policymakers need to require current asset and liability-level disclosure in their "solution" to recapitalizing the Eurozone banks.
So much for bail-in. Financial policy makers have spent the last three years discussing the need to ensure that bank bondholders bear losses in future bailouts. Yet Dexia has just been rescued for a second time in a deal that will include a €90 billion ($120.4 billion) funding guarantee over 10 years from the governments of France, Belgium and Luxembourg—effectively allowing bondholders once again to walk away.
True, Dexia has some specific features that could make greater burden-sharing risky. For a start, there is a limited amount of debt available: Of its €186 billion of long-term capital-markets funding, €99 billion is in covered bonds, Fitch notes. These rank as senior secured debt, backed by pools of assets as well as the bank....This need to bailout Dexia's covered bond holders confirms the FDIC's worse fears about covered bonds and highlights the potential for abuses of these securities.
Think what would have happened if all of Countrywide's subprime mortgage backed securities had instead been issued as covered bonds. The short term profits would have gone to management and the shareholders. The long term cost of all these underperforming assets would have been picked up by the US taxpayers - as oppose to investors in structured finance securities.
By bailing out the covered bond holders, France and Belgium are taking on the risk of the performance of the underlying collateral.
The European Commission may yet require some burden-sharing from subordinated bondholders. But that may only go as far as deferred coupon payments, an outcome already priced in.
But there are good reasons why policy makers wouldn't want to inflict losses on senior unsecured bondholders .... policy makers will have been conscious of the significant contagion risks at a time when the European bank-funding market is frozen and the sector faces €1.7 trillion of refinancing over the next three years.
Denmark, the only European state to force losses on unsecured creditors in bank restructuring, has had to back down after the country's banks found themselves shut out of funding markets: This weekend's rescue of Max Bank treated unsecured bondholders equally with depositors.

Cabarets existed in Paris in the 16th century; they were ancestors of the modern restaurant. Unlike taverns they sold wine not by itself but only with a meal, presented on a tablecloth. Customers might sing if they had drunk enough wine, but early cabarets did not have formal programs of entertainment. Cabarets were frequently used as meeting places for writers and artists. Writers such as La Fontaine , Moliere and Jean Racine were known to frequent a cabaret called the Mouton Blanc on rue du Vieux-Colombier, and later the Croix de Lorraine on the modern rue Bourg-Tibourg. In 1773 French poets, painters, musicians and writers began to meet in a cabaret called Le Caveau on rue de Buci, where they composed and sang songs. The Caveau continued until 1816, when it was forced to close because its clients wrote songs mocking the royal government. [3]

Pre-Thanksgiving chaos
So... have started the holiday by forgetting to thaw the turkey (Food Network said to go frozen, so... I listened - though will be riveted to Martha Stewart on Today this morning - not kidding - will really be riveted - need to figure out the perfect brine - like I don't have better things to do :-). Also - one kid home with scratchy throat and... as oldest of the babies and, therefore, "leader" / instigator - has pulled a bunch of glow sticks from.... somewhere????... and they are running through house glowing. Oldest going to ice skate downtown today - around the tree, I guess. I used to work downtown - saw the tree go up after Halloween - However - noticing this year that retailers on holding off - decorating for Christmas when appropriate, so... hopefully, the tree will be up (the one Christmas "thing" that I think should be in place before Thanksgiving - let the festivities begin!!). Anyway ..... happy, happy all. I am prolific in the blogging arena right now because, oddly, I have all these little snippets of time in my chaos.
Last thing before I go.... give to St. Jude's Hospital this year. I am watching a story now in which a family had given to the organization for years, and... is now depending on St. Jude to save their little girl's life. That hospital does amazing things....
And btw - any turkey cooking triumphs and / or horror stories?? If so - share :-).

Among PC Games, few series have been as successful as Call of Duty. Back in 2003, what seems like a lifetime away in terms of PC gaming, the first Call of Duty game was released; since then six Call of Duty games have come out, and the seventh, Call of Duty: Black Ops (set during the Cold War period), is due for release on November 9, 2010 for PC and consoles. A further game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, is mooted for release in 2011.
Not at all my sort of game, but it has to be admitted that Call of Duty has captured the imagination of modern gamers.with 3 entries in the top 50 highest selling games of all time, and well over a year ago Activision boss Mike Griffiths told the press that total sales for all titles in the Call of duty series had topped 35 million units. The series has certainly been the focus of a great deal of controversy about its portrayal of terrorist activity within the game. Whatever individuals' feelings about the content one thing is sure - that this game, with projected sales estimated of over 12 million units, is going to be a massive commercial successful.

Browser does not support script.
Agenda Item No.
The report advised that during the Youth Service Scrutiny Review young people had informed Elected Members that they felt under represented and wanted a mechanism in place which would give them the opportunity to challenge and communicate with the Council and Cabinet on decisions that affected them. The Youth Service Provision Task and Finish Group of the Scrutiny Committee (Lifelong Learning) had subsequently recommended in April 2012 that mechanisms for the involvement of young people in the decision-making process about services that affected their lives be established at Local Authority and locality level and that a report on options for such involvement be presented to the Scrutiny Committee. It was further recommended that the Vale's Youth Champion should be a representative from the young people from the Vale of Glamorgan as opposed to being a Councillor appointment.
Following the above a proposed model had been identified, which was attached at Appendix 1 to the report, and which detailed that it would base the development of the Youth Cabinet and Youth Mayor around the existing Vale Youth Forum (VYF). The VYF was made up of young representatives aged 11-25 from across the Vale of Glamorgan and was a registered charity which worked with young people who either lived, worked or attended an educational establishment in the Vale of Glamorgan. The VYF worked in partnership with the Vale Centre for Voluntary Services, which employed the co-ordinator and the Vale of Glamorgan Youth Service who accommodated the co-ordinator.
The consultation results from the Local Democracy Week (attached at Appendix 2 to the report) determined that members of youth clubs, school council members, members of other youth groups and young people who did not belong to a youth organisation should be able to be elected onto the VYF and the Youth Cabinet. However 51% of the young people felt that there should be a limit on the number of young people who were not elected by their school or youth group on the VYF. It was proposed that Members of the VYF would be nominated and elected to sit on the Youth Cabinet and would then be responsible for representing the interests of young people in the Vale to decision-makers. It was proposed that the Vale Youth Cabinet would meet regularly with Council officers, Councillors and Cabinet Members of the Vale of Glamorgan Council to put forward young people's issues.
It was proposed that the Youth Mayor position was nominated from the VYF, however 50% of those consulted felt that all young people aged 11-25 from the Vale of Glamorgan should be able to vote for their favourite candidate. The consultation results had also highlighted suggestions for the duties of the Youth Mayor and had determined that the Youth Mayor should initially serve for one year and to have a deputy Youth Mayor in place for the same term of office.
Young people had further suggested that the main communication method should be via Facebook. This method ad been suggested in order that young people could get in touch with the VYF and the Youth Mayor, that they could be informed about the work of VYF and the Youth Mayor, and it would enable the VYF and the Youth Mayor to gather the views of the young people across the Vale.
The report also made reference to the Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure which had come into effect in Wales in 2012. The Measure placed a duty on Welsh Ministers to take appropriate steps to promote knowledge and understanding of the Convention amongst the public including children. Participation was a fundamental right which was set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and which was adopted by the UK Government in 1991. The Welsh Government was committed to driving forward the principles of Article 12 across Wales, thus ensuring young people aged 0‑25 had opportunities to contribute to and have their voices heard in decision-making issues which impacted on their lives. The Shared Purpose – Shared Delivery guidance of 2012 also highlighted that further work needed to be done to promote and facilitate the engagement and participation of children and young people and it was proposed that information on how this could be achieved should be included in an engagement strategy.
A Member, who had actually sat on the Scrutiny Review Task and Finish Group stated that the young people who had been involved in the review had been from a wide cross section and the enthusiasm had been tremendous which was to be welcomed. The Principal Youth Officer advised that other consultation had also been undertaken during 2012 which had included young people from all over the Vale being invited to workshops at the Fire Station in Barry and an on-line survey had taken place. Members then referred to transport arrangements for young people in the rural Vale with the Youth Officer advising that a greater emphasis would be required on the use of the Green Links bus and voluntary drivers. It was also mentioned that the Cabinet was currently holding some of its meetings throughout the Vale of Glamorgan and in light of the proposals to engage further with young people, some Members considered this to be a good way of engaging.
In noting that representation for the proposals of a Youth Cabinet and Youth Mayor would develop around the existing Vale Youth Forum Members urged the Department to consider how they could engage more with young people in respect of the election and voting process. The use of social networking sites and the media was also agreed would be a significant advantage in engaging with young people.
Having fully considered the report, it was
RECOMMENDED – T H A T Cabinet be informed of the Committee's support to the establishment of a constituted Youth Cabinet and the development of an election process for a Youth Mayor position.
Reason for recommendation
The establishment of a Youth Cabinet and Youth Mayor would provide a voice for young people in the Vale by which their views and ideas could be considered in the Council's decision-making process and that the Scrutiny review recommendations are progressed."

This "Paleo for 6 weeks" Challenge will start on Aug 30th until October 4th. During these times participants must follow the following simple rules:
- Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit. For example: chicken, pork and fish, eggs, fruit, vegetables – including lots of avocado, nuts (excluding peanuts or cashews), spices… lots of spices, and berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries).
- Eat absolutely NO SUGAR (besides fruit). This includes ice cream, chocolates, candy, soda. You know what contains sugar. Stay away from it.
- DO NOT eat the following: rice, grains such as bread, pasta, noodles, beans, potatoes, dairy (excluding eggs), sugar. Salt and pepper to taste is ok.
- Complete a WOD at least 2-3 times a week. If you don't have time to your CrossFit box for some reason, keep your workout short and intense. Click here for WODs you can do yourself at home or at a local park.
- Post your breakfast, lunch and dinner to this blog. Technology is so awesome, with WordPress, you can post what you ate or a picture of your meal through email (see the address on the top right of this website) and even through your phone. So no excuses. Use the following format: MM/DD Breakfast, MM/DD – Lunch or MM/DD – Dinner where MM is month and DD is day.
Tips and things to remember:
- When you are used to a high carb diet (lots of rice, pasta, bread), it will feel like you are not full after a meal of steak and salad for example. To prevent this from happening, make sure you eat enough fat to get you full. You can do this by choosing marbled meats.
- Snack on nuts and seeds. Go to Costco and get a container full of almonds is the easiest. Distribute to small plastic containers or ziplocs and put it in places you usually snack in, like the car, your office desk, near the TV …
- Eat a good breakfast to start your day. 2 eggs, bacon and sausage is always a good choice. Or if you don't have time to cook in the morning, invest in a blender and make juices with berries or avocado. I like the Banana Avocado Coconut Milk Shake
- If you only have time to make a protein shake, then better eat that than a bowl of cereal or toast. Pick 100% Whey Protein. You can also mix it up with fruites like banana or strawberries. Here's what I recommend.
- Eat within 1 hour after a workout. Your body is very efficient in distributing the food you eat to the right muscles 1 hour after your workouts. So make sure you take advantage of it. If you still have to commute home, shower, etc before you can go to dinner, then take the Protein shake (previous bulletpoint) so at least your muscles get the protein it needs. And at dinner time, eat again. You won't be starving at this point, so you will make better choices.
- Cheat Days. Try to limit your cheat days to none to 1 day a week. The less you have cheat days, the more effective the diet will be. Just look at it that way. After a while those cheat days won't be as desirable anyways.
Remember, it is only for 6 weeks! It is NOT FOREVER. If you really want to lose weight and look great but you will not try to do this for 6 weeks at least ONCE in your life, then maybe you don't really want it that bad.

Hi Rupam,
Thank you so much for your visit and for your kind comment.Heard a lot about you and Nicky too! I'm so glad David and Molly have found such good friends~ durot goi nijor manuh lok pua, bohut bhal kotha.
We stayed at the Resort for just one night. Prior to our visit there, we'd never heard of the Living root bridges! All the Cherra hotels were booked so it was more of a might-as-well-try-this-out thing. But when we reached there, oh my, everything (except the food) took our breath away!
We'll definitely be going back, some time in the near future. The drive, the view---unforgettable!
Thank you once again for stopping by my blog. Regards to you and Nicky.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1015419
For scripted use, "disassemble" command needs sanity size limiting
Last modified: 2013-10-06 14:23:43 EDT
We have a user report where coredump contains $pc pointing into .bss
gdb "disassemble", consequently, tries to disassemble *entire* .bss.
Since it is done by automated gdb run (gdb -batch -ex disassemble),
there is no user at the keyboard who can realize that this isn't useful
and can produce many megabytes of output.
Please add a parameter or an option to "disassemble" command
which can be used to cap the output size. Something along the lines of
(gdb) disassemble /maxlines:20000
Such simple usage is really scriptable with Python. For example first 3 lines:
(gdb) python import re;print re.compile("^([^\n]*\n){3}").match(gdb.execute("disassemble main",False,True)).group()
(In reply to Jan Kratochvil from comment #1)
> Such simple usage is really scriptable with Python. For example first 3
> lines:
> (gdb) python import re;print
> re.compile("^([^\n]*\n){3}").match(gdb.execute("disassemble
> main",False,True)).group()
See bug 995889:
Generating core_backtrace
Lock file './.lock' is locked by process 6567
Generating backtrace
Backtrace is too big (33564131 bytes), reducing depth to 512
Backtrace is too big (33564131 bytes), reducing depth to 256
Backtrace is too big (33564131 bytes), reducing depth to 128
The backtrace never decreases in size and I am unable to submit the bug. On a Core-i7, it is very slow and can easily take 30+ minutes to run through the gamut before giving up.
IOW: the execution time and possible memory exhaustion temporarily storing megabytes of disasm is also the problem here.
disassemble main,+20000
Just it is in bytes and not lines but that should not matter much.
oops, not right, it does not stop at the end of main.
This one should work:
import re
# Is there \Q in Python?
p=re.compile("^%s [+] "%f)
while l<r:
if p.match(gdb.execute("info symbol %s+%d"%(f,m),False,True)):
gdb.execute("disassemble %s,+%d"%(f,r))
