I have a friend who loves the Thanksgiving episodes of Friends.
In fact, he says that he has always wondered when the time would come where he would stop going home to spend the holiday with his family and instead, have a Friendsgiving. I think he was a little disappointed when we told him we all planned on going home for the real deal for at least the next few years, but I would say that Saturday's early Friendsgiving dinner was a pretty close second!
Okay you'll have to forgive the classy Keystone...we're not really grown-ups yet...
Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

It is essential that whatever occurs whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger.

It Was Either This or Fall Asleep in Training Class
I enjoy learning new things, except for when someone is reading a training manual to me verbatim. It's boring and is a quick way to lose the interest of the students. Especially when the trainer asks "Am I going too fast?" and the majority of us are reading ahead because the pace is so plodding.
It wasn't just me. I think we all take frequent bathroom breaks so that none of us actually falls asleep and starts snoring during the process. At least last time, my boss was humorous, reading in various accents and funny voices. It livened things up much more than this one has been.
One of the items in our bag of materials was a huge box of rubber bands. This morning, it was a round of hang man, then tic tac toe, but the afternoon session? I cracked out the box and started playing with the rubber bands.
I was smart. I didn't put them all in the ball today. After all, training is a week long!

The previous post was from Thursday night: a reception and awards ceremony for the artists and for anyone else who wanted to spend $50.00 per ticket to get in...
Friday night was the free opening for the public... they estimated close to 8,000 people came to the show from the time they opened (6 PM) to closing (somewhere around 11 PM). There's a couple people interested in buying Michael's painting. I hope he sells it, to offset the cost of the frame!

GNOME 3.8 was released back around the end of March, but I still haven't taken a look at it here.
For me, GNOME Shell in earlier GNOME 3 versions has been great; I don't miss the old GNOME 2, and I don't use GNOME Shell with a bunch of extensions to try to make it look more like GNOME 2. For example, in Debian Wheezy (with GNOME 3.4), I use exactly two GNOME Shell extensions:
- Alternative Status Menu, which replaces GNOME Shell Status Menu with one showing Suspend/Hibernate and Power Off as separate items. This extension is no longer needed as of GNOME 3.6, as there's now a "Power Off" menu item.
- Quit Button, which replaces the user name and status icon with a quit button.
GNOME 3.8 comes with "Classic Mode." Here's how it's described in the GNOME 3.8 Release Notes:
Classic mode is a new feature for those people who prefer a more traditional desktop experience. Built entirely from GNOME 3 technologies, it adds a number of features such as an application menu, a places menu and a window switcher along the bottom of the screen. Each of these features can be used individually or in combination with other GNOME extensions.
Here's the screen shot they include in the release notes:
I'm not sure if this Classic Mode will satisfy those folks whose lives were destroyed by the GNOME developers' decision to go in a completely different direction with GNOME Shell, but perhaps it'll help ease the pain. You can read more about it (and see more screen shots) at WebUpd8, here and here, and at Muktware, here.
According to one of the WebUpd8 articles, the new GNOME Classic session uses the following GNOME Shell extensions (I've included descriptions for each from the GNOME Shell Extensions site):
- Alternate Tab: "A replacement for Alt-Tab, allows to cycle between windows and does not group by application."
- Places Status Indicator: "Add a systems status menu for quickly navigating places in the system."
- Applications Menu: "Add a gnome 2.x style menu for applications."
- Static workspaces: "Disable dynamic workspace management."
- Window List: "Display a window list at the bottom of the screen."
- Default Minimize and Maximize: "Adds minimize and maximize buttons to the titlebar by default."
- Launch New Instance: "Always launch a new instance." [That one's because in the current GNOME 3 set-up, clicking on the icon of a running app brings up the already-running instance, not a new one.]

Ok, not quite sure why picasa chose this pic to post since I chose a totally different photo. Perhaps it was reading my mind because I'd THOUGHT of posting this. On with the blog.
Brighton is officially TWO! I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday we were sitting in the hospital room waiting and waiting to meet this beautiful child! Just wondering who he would be. Would he be cute? Would he look like mom or dad? Would he be a fussy baby or an easy going baby? Would it matter? Would I notice the difference? What would we do with a baby?! Needless to say, all those questions (with the exception of who he looks like) have been answered. He has really been the most wonderful blessing to both of us. I finally admitted yesterday that I do indeed spoil him…(is 10 thomas the tank engines plus tracks plus tunnels plus extension sets plus a party plus … for his birthday overkill?) I always said "this baby is not going to be spoiled! We're not going to have our living room overrun with toys!" HAHA! How can you say no to that face? We hadn't expected that he'd be A. so sweet and B. oh so cute! and C. have those puppydog eyes. Yes, my boy is spoiled, but that's OK. He's not rotten just yet. Yet.
He's starting to learn all kinds of new phrases and words. He's picked up the whole "I TOOOO!" thing when you ask how old he is. He will hold out his two index fingers to indicate the number. He can't quite figure out how to make a "V" with his one hand yet. Though I'm sure no one but Grammy, Dad and Mom will believe it because he looks at us like we're out of our everloving minds when we ask him to tell us how old he is in front of anyone else. His other new thing is "Ow!" whenever you're doing something he doesn't particularly like. Like holding his hand to cross the street or picking him up so he doesn't continue to run around the mall making his mom and dad crazy. That's a real joy. I don't know where he picked this up at but I'm sure someone will make sure DHS knows that our little two year old is running around saying "OW!" I can hear the phone call now. He's also figured out that the cat says "MEOW". He used to just kind of make a high pitched grunting noise to imitate the cat, but now it's an all out "MEEEOOOW." Cute as the dickens. And he calls Feebee in for bed "peebee." And "peebee" happily obliges and gives a few extra kisses if Bright is anywhere within licking distance. "I pee" is another new one. You've seen the "I poop" blog, now we have #1 to go along with #2. He tells us all kinds of dramatic stories, complete with pitiful facial expressions, but we just empathize and try to pick out the words that we know. He seems so serious and so affected that you have to control your giggle and say "oh really? Oh that's too bad!!" Or whatever. Gotta switch it up once in a while or he catches on.
Will keep you abreast of all new words and things as we go. But for now, it's 11:30 PM and I need to get to bed. Have a great day.

Thank God for farmers and ranchers
Thank God for farmers and ranchers, who raise the good food I eat;
May He continue to bless them, through life's bitter and life's sweet;
The best food is that grown locally, of that we can be sure;
And we will learn about that, if we visit our farms & ranches, and take a learning tour!

After countless hours spent in the creation of the event wonderland that is Sweet Sunday Events, I'm taking an extended weekend off to relax Jamaican style. Although I am so thrilled about fun in the sun with unlimited drinks, I can't help but feel a bit hesitant in leaving the business and my brides for five days. But I know I can rest assure knowing it is in the good hands of a hopeless romantic, conspiracy theory obsessed, McDonald's loving, highly intelligent, artistic business man. This man, my mister, my magnificent husband and love of my life, Justin will blog as I am away. What he will blog about is a complete mystery to not only you, but to me as well. Just sit back and enjoy the posts to come! See you Tuesday.

I am so glad they have each other to play with everyday. They laugh and love to play peek a boo it's so cute to hear them laugh hysterically to such a silly little game.

Well, would you believe it! I only happened to notice this VR (Victorian) postbox a couple of weeks ago and was about to post it on my blog - intending to ask my local readers if they knew where it was... Despite Saltaire's Victorian origins, none of the postboxes in the village, to my knowledge, are Victorian so I was delighted to see this example not far away.
I passed it again yesterday and was shocked to find it has been ruined. I am not sure what happened. There are no marks on the wall, and nothing to suggest a car collided with it. Methinks the most likely explanation is metal thieves, who seemingly will pinch anything they can see. Completely mindless, they seem to have no respect for other people's property, or for history, or for the consequences of their actions. It does make me angry!
So that's another little piece of local history that has disappeared. For the uninitiated, it is in the wall at the top of Belmont Terrace in Shipley, quite close to St Paul's Church... Well, it was!

Oh No that is so sadReplyDelete
That makes me very angry too!I guess they wanted to take the door away, and finally broke the whole box.ReplyDelete
I'm guessing it is/was the box at the mouth of Belmont Terrace, just off Kirkgate, Shipley, (above the road from St. Paul's Church).ReplyDelete
I get mad too when I see this sort of damage done, whether the object is old or new and notwithstanding whether I like it or not
If you look carefully at the left hnad photo you can see that the frame was already cracked. So it is just possible it was an accident. Somehow I think metal thieves would have taken more (because cast iron breaks really easily).ReplyDelete
Vandals wouldn't care, of course.
I doubt if the post office will replace it with an old one (there are still some to be found in store). It's just a shame.
No doubt they took the post as well, mindless and selfish.ReplyDelete
following on from Mornin AJ:ReplyDelete
It is possible I suppose, I hadn't particularly noticed that crack.
It could be old age and weather damage;
the box faces (pretty much) the rising sun and though the main direction for rain is from "behind" it there have been some pretty cold nights of late which might have led to any water in that crack freezing and expanding.
I did notice that, though there is a small collection of elastic bands (post office issue) and what may be some sweet wrappers, there doesn't appear to be any shards from the box inside.
Maybe the door broke away as the postie opened it ...?? ... hope it missed his foot :)
Good gracious, you would not think it would be worth the effort for that amount of metal. Now those big iron free-standing postboxes are another thing, not to mention those old telephone boxes. Sorry, can't stay to talk, must rush off, I have just thought of a way to add a little to my pension.ReplyDelete
Or simply vandalism? That's a major problem in our area. Things left unattended will eventually get burned, broken, stolen, or spray painted with graffiti.ReplyDelete
There are mindless people everywhere. Where we are the postboxes are freestanding, and every Friday night, the sport was to tip them over! We have copper thieves too....ReplyDelete
I'm glad you got a photo of it before it was destroyed.ReplyDelete
Looks the sort of thing my mother might have done when she heard that the price of stamps was going up!ReplyDelete
There is an unlimited supply of dumb and mean people around.ReplyDelete
oh, isn't that terrible!ReplyDelete
I love the first photo...I wonder how many coats of paint were on that box!
I used to walk past that post box on my way to St Walburga's Primary School in Farfield Road, Saltaire during the fifties.ReplyDelete
No WV here but I've enabled comment moderation on older posts so I don't miss any of your messages. I love reading them - thank you! And thanks for visiting my blog.

Vol. 1, No. 1, Published May 6, 2015
California Job Tracker: 21 Metro Areas Recover Lost Jobs
By Lynn Reaser
California's economic recovery has continued to broaden and has now extended to 21 of the state's 28 major metropolitan areas.
In February 2014, California's job picture recovered to the pre-Recession peak seen in July 2007, according to recently revised data. Eight more metro areas joined in the recovery trend during 2014.
The large Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine metropolitan division (Orange County) was the latest region to catch up with its prior high in March of this year.
The 21 areas that have fully recovered their Pre-Recession highs account for 85 percent of California's current nonfarm payrolls. Recent data revisions reflect the annual recalculation of job totals to capture the actual total number of individuals on companies' payrolls in contrast to the sample-based employment counts issued each month during the year.
The 21 metropolitan areas include a diverse group. San Francisco, San Jose, and San Diego represent the impact of the surge in technology. The membership of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo demonstrates the rebound in prime coastal locations. The recovery of Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire (Riverside-San Bernardino) shows the diversity of the recovery among various industries, while Orange County's rebound underscores the comeback in housing and real estate.
Despite the ongoing constraints of the drought, some of the state's key agricultural areas have also recovered. These include El Centro, Fresno, Merced, Modesto, Salinas, Napa, and Bakersfield. Bakersfield (Kern County) has also been boosted by the surge in oil exploration and development, although the precipitous drop in oil prices is already starting to weigh on the area's job performance.
The dates of the Pre-Recession peaks varied across the 2006-08 timeframe. Collectively, the 21 metropolitan areas have now added 456,000 jobs relative to their prior employment highs. The San Francisco-Redwood City-South San Francisco area has led with a job gain of approximately 122,000. San Jose has followed with a net growth of 115,000 positions.
Certain parts of the state still have not caught up with their Pre-Recession highs. The Sacramento metropolitan statistical area (MSA) and the Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura MSA (Ventura County) are still about five and 10 months, respectively, from reaching their Pre-Recession peaks (assuming job growth equal to the average of the past 12 months). Other lagging areas include the mostly rural regions of Yuba City, Vallejo, Stockton, Hanford, and Redding.
It should be noted that just catching up to the Pre-Recession peaks is by no means sufficient as most areas have experienced further gains in their populations over the past several years and therefore need even more job gains. Nevertheless, these recovery benchmarks are important to California and illustrate the diversification of its upswing.

From Aditya RanaSubject: On an Uncertain World, Dalio's Wisdom and more on Food Combinations!
Markets have been buoyant since the May downturn, fuelled by expectations of supportive central bank monetary actions. Unprecedented actions by both the ECB and the Fed in recent weeks, promising to provide unlimited (open-ended) monetary stimulus and "do what it takes" to support financial markets and the economy, are likely to underpin (as noted in my previous note from three weeks ago) a cyclical bull market in risk assets over the next 12 to 18 months. However, we are likely to remain in a structural bear market in most developed market risk assets for a while longer, as the process of debt deleveraging in the developed world will continue to subdue economic growth and returns on financial assets. With this backdrop in mind, I present below a summary of a recent note written by the veteran investor and credit manager, Howard Marks, who runs the money management firm Oaktree Capital. The note highlights the risks and uncertainty which continues to prevail in global financial markets:
-"The world seems more uncertain today than any other time in my life". Or in the words of the John Bogle, the founder of the famed money management firm Vanguard and a 60 year veteran of the market – "It's urgent that people wake up, the economy has clouds hovering over it and the financial system has been damaged. The risk of a black-swan event – of something unlikely but apocalyptic – is small, but it's real".
-The US is likely to see subdued growth for a prolonged period of time, as consumers and borrowers move towards more austerity (reduce excess spending over income) and deleveraging (using the excess income from austerity to pay down debt).
-"Animal spirits" are subdued in the aftermath of the 2008 crisis, and business investment is low as "businesses continue to do more with less". Psychology plays a significant role in impacting economic growth and poor sentiment will continue to hamper growth.
-In addition, there exist potential black-swan events and landmines out there which could easily derail the economy-i.e.:
–Europe continues to present huge risks and endless uncertainty. Forced austerity and deleveraging in the periphery is causing further economic weakness resulting in a vicious cycle – causing the total debt to GDP ratio to actually rise in some countries. Europe is likely to continue to muddle through for a long period, but the risk of it escalating into a global crisis persists.
–The US fiscal situation, while not an immediate problem, exists as a longer term issue as a significant portion of the liabilities are back-loaded. The current debt of $16 trillion is dwarfed by the unfunded liabilities from entitlement programs which are estimated to be $50-90 trillion on a present value basis.
–Political impasse in the US makes the likelihood of achieving a reasonable solution to the debt problem unlikely, as voters are reluctant to endorse any plan which might reduce their entitlements with self-interest trumping ideology.
-While the Fed is expected to keep interest rates low for a long period of time and/or provide more stimulus, the impact of stimulus is mainly psychological and tend to diminish over time.
-The growing income inequality, exacerbated by the lowering of taxes applied to income on capital relative to taxes on income, and declining ability of the lower income groups to move up the chain, is likely to have negative social ramifications.
-The world today is awash with potential crisis areas – Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Israel/Palestine, Syria, Pakistan and North Korea – this is unprecedented compared to previous eras which experienced relative tranquillity.
-The outlook for China is uncertain, with the excess of money leading to bad capital decisions and a real estate bubble. Combined with global economic weakness causing lower demand for Chinese exports, and domestic consumption not being enough to provide the required boost to growth, it remains unclear whether China will experience a hard or soft landing.
-However, there exist several positive factors which could more than offset the above negative factors:
-First, the possibility that things don't turnout as bad they seem as people's psychology tends to over emphasise the bad (and the good) at extremes.
-Secondly, asset prices are reasonable in many cases, relative to other investments or on a historical basis:
-The p/e ratio on the S&P500 index is below the post war average, dividends and earnings yields are favourable relative to bond yields.
-Yields on high yield bonds relative to treasuries are at levels which have historically provided superior returns.
-Real estate prices are back to pre-bubble levels of a decade ago.
-Lastly, investor psychology is very subdued compared to pre-crisis levels which bodes well for risk assets in general.
-While investor enthusiasm and risk-blindness maybe low – making it possibly the most attractive feature of the investment environment today– central bank actions to lower interest rates to zero have forced people to take on more risk to seek higher returns.
-In this type of environment, it is even more critical to focus on "completing the long term voyage" and not be swayed by the interim ups and downs.
-While the uncertain environment suggests safety and therefore more government bond investments, given the meagre returns available on them, it would be wiser to more prudently balance risk aversion and the pursuit of return.
-Investments in high yield bonds provides an attractive strategy in uncertain times – historical research has clearly demonstrated that even including uncertain periods like the Great Depression, high yield bonds have provided superior returns.
– A reliable return in the single digits or early teens would be an outstanding result in the current environment. The mantra is "proceed forward, but with caution".
Sage advice indeed – we do live in an uncertain world, but "doing nothing is doing something in the investing world". It is therefore critical to construct a well diversified "all weather" portfolio, which has upside exposure to risk assets in the event (as is likely) we do get a cyclical bull markets over the next year or two (equities, EM equities, high yield credit, gold) but also have assets which will outperform in a downturn caused by a deflationary environment (cash, long duration government bonds, high quality bonds) or a period of high inflation resulting from money printing (gold, natural resources and other real assets). It is not going to be easy – but as the famed investor Charlie Munger noted "it's not supposed to be easy, anyone who finds it easy is stupid"!
I have provided a link below to a fascinating (one hour!) talk recently given by Ray Dalio, who runs the world largest and probably the most successful hedge fund – Bridgewater Associates. Ray explains his basic framework in analysing the economy and financial markets, and explains why we are going through a long period of deleveraging (which typically last 10 to 15 years!) , implying a long period of subdued growth, and why money printing and fiscal stimulus to balance austerity and debt restructuring are critical to avoid a depression. I will cover this in more detail in a subsequent newsletter.
Lastly, Ray Dalio making the bull case for gold:
"Gold is primarily an alternative to fiat currency and a storehold of wealth. The main advantage that gold has over other currencies is that it can't be printed. While we have just gone through a period in which the degree of monetary stimulation has ebbed, the ongoing deleveraging means that developed economic will remain highly reliably on continued stimulation for years. By the end of the quarter, central banks were starting to shift back toward renewed stimulation. In addition, one of the primary disadvantages of gold relative to fiat currencies, that it doesn't pay interest, is mitigated by low rates in the current environment. Real interest rates are likely to remain very low and below real growth rates as a means of combating deleveraging and improving debt sustainability (as described in our "beautiful deleveraging" work). As such, deleveragings strongly favor shifts from financial assets into gold and other tangible assets. Gold is also being supported by secularly increasing demand. "
More on food combinations:
Based on popular feedback, I am re-running an article on the "Diet Debacle" by Professor Robert Lustig of the University of California, San Francisco. Professor Lustig points out that the global obesity epidemic is caused primarily by combining fat , carbohydrates and (particularly) excessive sugar in our diets which causes undue strain on the liver (as they are digested by different metabolic pathways) , resulting in a build-up of liver fat, eventually leading to chronic metabolic diseases (heart disease, cancer and diabetes). As guidance, provided below are some common mistakes which are made in our daily diets:
-Combining fruits/juices with meals. It's interesting to note that Ayurveda also forbids this combination and suggest that fruits should be taken as only a snack in-between meals. This includes adding dried fruits to cereal and eating fruits after a meal as a dessert.
-Adding fats to carbohydrate oriented meals. For example, nuts and seeds (both high sources of fat) to cereal , butter/olive oil with bread, fried rice, fatty meats with rice/bread (!).
-Dairy products (milk, cheese, cottage cheese) with bread, crackers, cereal(have skimmed milk if you must!).
-Processed foods which have synthetic sweeteners added to them (high fructose corn syrup is a particularly prevalent and egregious additive!).
The key to maintaining a diet which adheres to the above parameters is balance – adding a couple of raisins or sprinkling a bit of raw cane sugar to your cereal (with a little skimmed milk if you can't do without it!) is probably ok but loading it up with dried fruits, nuts and full fat milk is not a good idea!

The Diet Debacle
Thank you. You're human.
<br> <textarea name="recaptcha_challenge_field" rows="3" cols="40"> </textarea> <input type="hidden" name="recaptcha_response_field" value="manual_challenge">
SAN FRANCISCO – Two seemingly benign nutritional maxims are at the root of all dietary evil: A calorie is a calorie, and You are what you eat.Both ideas are now so entrenched in public consciousness that they have become virtually unassailable. As a result, the food industry, aided and abetted by ostensibly well-meaning scientists and politicians, has afflicted humankind with the plague of chronic metabolic disease, which threatens to bankrupt health care worldwide.
The United States currently spends $147 billion on obesity-related health care annually. Previously, one could have argued that these were affluent countries' diseases, but the United Nations announced last year that chronic metabolic disease (including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and dementia) is a bigger threat to the developing world than is infectious disease, including HIV.
These two nutritional maxims give credence to the food industry's self-serving corollaries: If a calorie is a calorie, then any food can be part of a balanced diet; and, if we are what we eat, then everyone chooses what they eat. Again, both are misleading.
If one's weight really is a matter of personal responsibility, how can we explain toddler obesity? Indeed, the US has an obesity epidemic in six-month-olds. They don't diet or exercise. Conversely, up to 40% of normal-weight people have chronic metabolic disease. Something else is going on.
Consider the following diets: Atkins (all fat and no carbohydrates); traditional Japanese (all carbohydrates and little fat); and Ornish (even less fat and carbohydrates with lots of fiber). All three help to maintain, and in some cases even improve, metabolic health, because the liver has to deal with only one energy source at a time.
That is how human bodies are designed to metabolize food. Our hunter ancestors ate fat, which was transported to the liver and broken down by the lipolytic pathway to deliver fatty acids to the mitochondria (the subcellular structures that burn food to create energy). On the occasion of a big kill, any excess dietary fatty acids were packaged into low-density lipoproteins and transported out of the liver to be stored in peripheral fat tissue. As a result, our forebears' livers stayed healthy.
Meanwhile, our gatherer ancestors ate carbohydrates (polymers of glucose), which was also transported to the liver, via the glycolytic pathway, and broken down for energy. Any excess glucose stimulated the pancreas to release insulin, which transported glucose into peripheral fat tissue, and which also caused the liver to store glucose as glycogen (liver starch). So their livers also stayed healthy.
And nature did its part by supplying all naturally occurring foodstuffs with either fat or carbohydrate as the energy source, not both. Even fatty fruits – coconut, olives, avocados – are low in carbohydrate.
Our metabolisms started to malfunction when humans began consuming fat and carbohydrates at the same meal. The liver mitochondria could not keep up with the energy onslaught, and had no choice but to employ a little-used escape valve called "de novo lipogenesis" (new fat-making) to turn excess energy substrate into liver fat.
Liver fat mucks up the workings of the liver. It is the root cause of the phenomenon known as "insulin resistance" and the primary process that drives chronic metabolic disease. In other words, neither fat nor carbohydrates are problematic – until they are combined. The food industry does precisely that, mixing more of both into the Western diet for palatability and shelf life, thereby intensifying insulin resistance and chronic metabolic disease.
But there is one exception to this formulation: sugar. Sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup are comprised of one molecule of glucose (not especially sweet) and one molecule of fructose (very sweet). While glucose is metabolized by the glycolytic pathway, fructose is metabolized by the lipolytic pathway, and is not insulin-regulated. Thus, when sugar is ingested in excess, the liver mitochondria are so overwhelmed that they have no choice but to build liver fat. Today, 33% of Americans have a fatty liver, which causes chronic metabolic disease.
Prior to 1900, Americans consumed less than 30 grams of sugar per day, or about 6% of total calories. In 1977, it was 75 grams/day, and in 1994, up to 110 grams/day. Currently, adolescents average 150 grams/day (roughly 30% of total calories) – a five-fold increase in one century, and a two-fold increase in a generation. In the past 50 years, consumption of sugar has also doubled worldwide. Worse yet, other than the ephemeral pleasure that it provides, there is not a single biochemical process that requires dietary fructose; it is a vestigial nutrient, left over from the evolutionary differentiation between plants and animals.
It is therefore clear that a calorie is not a calorie. Fats, carbohydrates, fructose, and glucose are all metabolized differently in the body. Furthermore, you are what you do with what you eat. Combining fat and carbohydrate places high demands on the metabolic process. And adding sugar is particularly egregious.
Indeed, while food companies would have you believe that sugar can be part of a balanced diet, the bottom line is that they have created an unbalanced one. Of the 600,000 food items available in the US, 80% are laced with added sugar. People cannot be held responsible for what they put in their mouths when their choices have been co-opted.
And this brings us back to those obese toddlers. The fructose content of a soft drink is 5.3%. Of course, many parents might refuse to give soft drinks to their children, but the fructose content of soy formula is 5.1%, and 6% for juice.
We have a long way to go to debunk dangerous nutritional dogmas. Until we do, we will make little headway in reversing an imminent medical and economic disaster.
Apologies for not sending out the newsletter for the last two weekends as I was away to India to attend to an urgent personal matter. I will be also travelling over next weekend (on pleasure!) so the next newsletter will be posted on September 29.
Happy sensible food combining and don't get too cautious!

MyPhone doesn't release handsets that often, but when the company does, it sure seems to make the wait worthwhile.
Consider the MyPhone A919i Duo, which is scheduled to hit stores tomorrow, April 30. On paper, the smartphone rivals the Alcatel One Touch Scribe HD. If you have read this article, you'd know that the Scribe HD is our favorite among Alcatel's newly launched devices.
The MyPhone A919i Duo is said to be powered by a MediaTek MT6589 chipset with a 1.2GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 processor. That's impressive enough as it is, but throw in a 5-inch 720p IPS-LCD display; PowerVR SGX544 graphics; 1GB of RAM; a 2,000mAh battery; and 8- and 2-megapixel rear and front cameras into the mix, and you're in for a treat.
The icing on the cake is the dual-SIM phone's P9,590 price tag. There's more: If you get the MyPhone A919i Duo at MyPhone's SM City North EDSA branch tomorrow, you'll only need to cough up P7,900.
Is that a trickle of drool we're seeing?
MyPhone A919i specs:
- Dual-SIM slots
- MediaTek MT6589 chipset
- 1.2GHz quad-core CPU
- PowerVR SGX544 GPU
- 4GB internal storage microSD card slot (up to 32GB)
- 5-inch IPS-LCD display (720 x 1,280 resolution; 294ppi pixel density)
- 8-megapixel rear camera with flash
- 2-megapixel front camera
- 2,000mAh battery
- Android Jelly Bean

Residential construction fell 0.3 percent in August to an annual rate of $238.5 billion, the Commerce Department reported Friday. This marks the fourth consecutive month that residential spending has dropped. Spending temporarily rose earlier in the year, as buyers took advantage of the homebuyer tax credit. But home construction has stagnated since the tax credit's April 30 expiration.
However, overall construction spending rose 0.4 percent in August, thanks to a big increase in government building projects. Government projects jumped 2.5 percent, while private construction fell to its lowest level in 12 years.
As the economy continues to lag, banks have tightened lending standards and made it harder for builders to get financing for new projects.

This post isn't going to be about the fact that diets don't work. Everyone who has been on a diet knows that they don't. This post is just to give you a good laugh at some of the ridiculous theories and suggestions we have been subjected to over the years.
First of all, let's get started with advice from people we are supposed to emulate. It's not a diet book, per se, just a general, overall treatise on how to be one of the beautiful people:
Question: Where are the windshield wipers for those glasses? And Her Royal Highness didn't even write this herself. Notice the "as told to" note at the bottom. I can just see it now: Princess Luciana is sitting on her divan across from the author, about to grace us with her most elegant wisdom, and she gently tinkles the bell for Jeeves to bring the writer a cup of English breakfast tea and another vodka on the rocks for herself. Jesus. I wonder how the writer got through this interview without either gagging or breaking into a fit of uncontrollable laughter.
Next up is this little gem:
Of course it's simple! Eat bananas! Nothing else! How much simpler can it get? Dumbasses.
You can tell this diet worked for this woman because of the smile on her face. You just know that she has a gorgeous hunk lounging in bed, waiting to help her out. Each orgasm = 300 calories! No wonder. Don't you want to try this one? I sure do.
Hmmm … I didn't realize the
And while we're in the ballpark:
Yes, God Himself has given us His own Diet, highlighted by those authoritative, pointing fingers. And here I was thinking he'd done enough work giving us all those commandments! These people have no shame and really owe God an apology, not to mention his share of the profits.
Here is the answer: eat like a caveman. I can't wait to see those delicious Paleo recipes. What are they? Roasted gazelle with grass stew, and afterward, you can work off the calories by running your ass off from the sabretooth tiger! Makes sense.
This next one I'm a little conflicted about, and it'll be easy to see why:
God knows I'm a rebel, so they're really going for my demographic here ... not to mention that it looks like you might get to eat chocolate! Any diet that includes chocolate is at least worth considering, right?
I have saved my absolute favourite for last:
The title really says it all, doesn't it? Do absolutely nothing, don't change your habits at all, and the pounds will just melt off! Such sage advice. You can bet the chick in the bikini tried this diet, right? I have a feeling that Dr. Mezzi got his medical degree in the mail.
One undeniable bonus of diet books, people: They really know how to give us a good laugh.

Abstract. How responsive is business investment to tax policy in Germany? Theoretical work has emphasized the impact on investment behavior through its effect on capital user costs, but evidence for a substantial user cost elasticity is sparse. However, most evidence has been based on aggregate data, and only a few recent studies for the U.S. use firm level data. In this paper we employ firm-level balance sheet data to analyze the nexus between user costs and investment. Using comprehensive panel data provided by the Deutsche Bundesbank, we estimate distributed-lag models and obtain a relatively precise estimate of about-0.42 for the user cost elasticity of investment. Error-correction models do not appear to generate estimates that can be interpreted in a structural way. We use the distributed-lag estimates to assess the prospective impact of tax reform measures in Germany. JEL Classification. C23, D21, H3

Elder Austin Carey - Guadalajara East Mission
Monday, December 15, 2014
Week 25 in Mexico, Week 7 in Cruz del Sur
This week was really good, we had an Apostle come to Guadalajara. We had 1 meeting with the 2 missions, and another one specifically for our stake. They both were really good, Russel M. Nelson came, and he is 90 years old, and walks around like he´s 60! During the stake conference with him, he was talking, and then he sang a song in spanish about Guadalajara (He doesn´t know spanish) After he finished singing. He looked out, and said that "If I can sing in spanish, I can talk in spanish!" He then looked over at his translator, and said "Thank you very much, but I can handle it from here." and he just started to talk in spanish! He had an accent, but everyone could understand him, and it was a great experience. I got to shake his hand 2 times. During the meeting with the 2 missions. He talked about how there aren´t lots of members in Guadalajara, but that just means that we have lots of potential to convert people. It was a great way to motivate us to work harder and invite all to come un to Christ. Then Christmas is coming up soon, it will be a great time to help people. Not much else has happened here, but this week we have a Gira Misional with a member of the 70 and we have to memorize lots of stuff for this saturday.
Good luck everyone

Angel, can we keep Bob?
We almost wanted to give up the idea of bringing Bob home as Dad is facing some problem at work and we don't want to add to Dad's worries. On Fri, I brought the carrier down again. Mom and I were a bit half-hearted but we thought to give ourselves and Bob a chance. Bob doesn't seem to like the carrier, so I had to hold him by his scruff and Mom held the carrier upright for me to gently put Bob in.
Back home, I gave Bob a quick bath. He only struggled a little and then tolerated me using a cloth soaked in soapy solution and then warm water to bathe him. Mom toweled him dry before putting him in the balcony.
Yesterday we took him to the vet for his first vaccination and he even purred when the vet checked his heartbeat. I asked the vet to check the black stuff in his ears and the vet after examining some sample said they are just some ear wax and not ear mites. The vet also said Bob could be more than a year or 2 as he has already lost some of his teeth.
We have let Bob out for a short while when Angel is sleeping. Bob seems to be interested in the shows we are watching on the TV. When I tried to take photos of him, he actually slanted to one side to look behind me. Haha.
Bob is so friendly and gentle that even Dad and Sis are won over. He likes to rest/sleep on our laps or next to us.
I was quite surprised that Dad let Bob out of the balcony last night, so that Bob can sit beside him on the sofa to watch TV.
We realise Bob sleeps a lot. This could explain why we don't see him in the afternoon. He is probably sleeping in the drain or bushes. Bob is such a darling that we can't imagine putting him back in the park.
Angel seems to behave better than when we had Pearl. He would still hiss as he run past the balcony.
Last night, the 2 of them almost had a confrontation. Angel was sleeping on top of the rack next to the TV and Bob was resting at the sofa. When Angel was waking up and wanted to get down from the rack, Bob noticed him and I quickly put my hands on him. His body stiffened and he looked alert and seemed to want to move forward. Both of them started to hiss even though they are about 2 to 3 metres apart. I quickly carried him to the balcony.
Bob would have to stay in the balcony in the meantime while we try to think of ways to introduce him to Angel. I have seen Bob play wrestle with Bush in the park and I don't think Angel would take nicely to that. Angel, on the other hand, probably thinks any other creatures other than the 4 humans are his enemy.
I will have to wake up briefly on weekdays at 5.15am to help Dad when he leaves the house as our balcony is just next to the exit. Bob, unlike Angel and Pearl, has no qualms about leaving the house to explore the corridor and he also will like to enter the rest of the house where Angel roams.
We really hope Angel and Bob can get along.

Hope Angel & Bob will get along too!
I like it when cats sleep and their tongue sticks out. I love to disturb Horus' tongue when he does that... :)

I think your intro of Bob and Angel is too abrupt and fast. Some cats, perhaps eg Angel, do not take kindly to strange cats in the household. If the relationship is strained in the beginning, it makes it very hard to keep them tohether in the long term.
Let's separate them for a week or so. Let them sniff each other out behind a closed door but not let them meet face to face. After that, let Angel sniff Bob's living quarters w/o Bob around and vice versa. This helps and has been written in many cat literature.
It's better to let both cats (and also your family) suffer for a week or so to ensure harmony in the long term. You also wouldn't want Bob back on the streets if they cannot get along.

Hi, kxbc. Thanks for the advice. Before and after the near confrontation, we have been careful to keep Bob in the balcony and sometimes the kitchen when Angel is roaming in the other parts of the house and when Angel is resting/sleeping in one of the rooms, we would close the door of that room and let Bob walk around the other parts of the house.
- 10:24 pm, March 24, 2008
- kwanxw said...
I was wondering, can Angel see Bob through the balcony door?
Maybe Angel hisses at Bob when he runs past the balcony because he can see Bob.
As KXBC pointed out, most cat books advise that you introduce cats to each other slowly, letting them experience each other one sense at at time.
That's why they advise owners to let cats smell each other's area first, without making visual contact. Visual contact should happen only when both cats are used to each other's smell.
Just my two cents.

oh i do hope you will get to keep Bob he sounds like such a dear. watching TV with your dad! imagine that!

I think Bob is really cute and hope that you can keep him around. So poor thing to have been hiding in the drains during the stormy weather. :)

kwanxw: Yes, when we started putting Bob in the balcony, Angel could see Bob through the fence. Now Bob is in my bedroom and the door is slightly ajar with the help of the door stopper and we have another fence about half metre from the door. Sometimes Angel would be outside the fence hissing when he smells Bob inside or when Bob peeps through the gap. We let Bob out of my room to move around the house when Angel is sleeping. hopefully after some time both will get used to each other's smell like you said :)

How are the 2 of them behaving towards each other now?

Last Saturday my group got together for the fist time since everyone has joined, it has been a rocky start, almost all of us have had some type of surgery or something to delay us. With our Red Hatter's Hat Attitude we prevailed.
We had luncheon at Boulder Station at the Buffet, this was my first time there so for me it was exciting. (I am new to Las Vegas, mid west transplant)
We had a lot of fun chatting, getting to know each other. Went over some business and then dessert! I just had to try the Pecan Pie (Yummy).
I will be posting so flyer's for upcoming events with some of our Sister Chapters.
In the mean time if you like links to shop by here goes:
I had a lot of fun meeting Joyce, Eleanor and of course my sister Brenda.
The next get together with be Sept. 7th at the Meadows Mall for lunch, shopping and fun! See you there at 12"30pm

St. John's team savors Odyssey of the Mind victory
St. John's team savors victory
Pupils claim title at 2006 Odyssey of the Mind finals
For a group of 13- and 14-year-old pupils of St. John's School, summer means vacationing in Singapore, Greece, Alaska, Wyoming and Colorado.
It's hard to improve on those kinds of travel plans, but Charlie Caplan, Jade Juzswik, Rebecca Sheinbaum, Corey Sobotka, Andrew Sobotka, Jessica Van Sweringen and Scott Wise consider their victory at the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals a worthy rival to their summer vacation destinations.
"I was like, 'Wow!' It was one of the greatest moments of my life," said Wise, who will join his teammates in the eighth grade in August.
The pupils earned the title May 24-27 at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, where they competed against 62 teams from the United States as well as 25 countries.
According to its Web site, Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for pupils from kindergarten through college.
Youths apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and world levels.
In the case of the St. John's team, coached by parents Carolyn Caplan and Kristy Juzswik, the group created a problem-solving skit that focused on a solution for the Jungle Bloke, a person who could talk with and understand animals, who was "lost in thought" in the jungle and trying to make his way home.
Caplan said Odyssey regulations forbid parent coaches from providing any input into the pupils' creative process. They are simply chaperones who provide a place for the youths to practice and ensure they get to and from those sessions.
Team members work with the additional challenge of coming up with costumes and props within a modest $125 budget.
"I think that's why they loved it (winning) so much," Caplan said. "When they watch the video of their performance, they know that every single line in the script, every song, every dance, was created by them."
It was the first Odyssey competition for the team, except for Charlie Caplan and Jade Juzswik.
Van Sweringen said friendship and the ability to stretch her creative horizons inspired her to become involved.
"With other competitions, it's more an intelligence or physical competition," she said. "Odyssey is for fun and creativity; putting art into action. And one of the best things is hanging out with your friends."
Added Sheinbaum, "With Odyssey of the Mind, you don't necessarily have to be extra smart. It's all about your imagination."
For the St. John's project, the team brainstormed, wrote, choreographed, sang and danced the tale of the missing Jungle Bloke.
Their cast of characters included Dr. Studyard Kipling, evil imaginary palm trees and an all-purpose newspaper and television reporter.
Homages to pop culture included original lyrics sung to the tune of The Rocky Horror Picture Show's "Time Warp," and nods to The Wizard of Oz.
Team members agree Caplan and Juzswik, veterans of five previous Odyssey contests, were the unofficial leaders.
Said Corey Sobotka, participating in Odyssey of the Mind, "shows us how to work on teams really well, cooperate with others and manage time."
With a world championship under their belt, team members plan to concentrate on sports and other extracurricular projects in the eighth grade. But the memory of being named best on the planet will last a lifetime, Caplan said.
"When they announced we had won, I was totally surprised," Caplan said. "I looked up to make sure they were talking about Houston, Texas, instead of a Houston in Michigan."


text: I love this photo because it demonstrates the setting of the TV show while also recalling upon the era. I love the show Mad Men and this cigarette box is a perfect representation of all that the show portrays. I think that making the cigarettes as the New York City skyline is clever and also causes the viewer to stop and take a second look. I believe that this picture could be created in Illustrator using both the shape tools, but also the pen tool. I not only enjoy the clever design of the cigarettes, but also the retro box that they are held in. Overall this design brings across the time period of the show without blatantly telling you.

|Whatever this farm implement is, I'm guessing we won't need one.
I originally entitled this post "short and long term goals", but the word goal has always bothered me because it suggests that you have failed if you don't achieve whatever it was you set out to do. I am, however, very much a planner and much prefer making plans to setting stupid and potentially unattainable goals and thus setting myself up for disappointment. Plans are much more flexible than goals in my mind - they can be tweaked as circumstances present themselves. So since we're embarking on a pretty fantastic adventure, I though it would be interesting to map out (you know how I love maps - even mind maps) some things floating around in the old noggin that have to do with our future at the holler.
|A rainy afternoon in town.
Early 2013: Start fencing in areas for livestock. Again, fencing costs money, so we want to get going on that while we have it to spare. Temporary fencing is one option to save on costs, and I don't mind the idea of having to move it around regularly according to my paddock/pasture rotation plan. However, permanent fencing is preferable if affordable enough.
The sooner we start these projects, the sooner we'll be prepared to live the lifestyle we yearn for if we're able to earn a modest income (or return to the work force if we need to resort to that to pay our bills). These may sound like laborious chores to most people, but we can't wait to get started on what we see as interesting projects that will bring us closer to our homesteading goal (gasp, that word!). Jay's thoughts differ somewhat in that he more willing to find a real job sooner than what I have in mind, but we're on the same page with regard to infrastructure (and eating homegrown pork as soon as possible!).

Here are a few photos from the last moments of our vactation. So fun to see the boys interacting more and more.
It was a great vacation! I think we are ready to begin real life again tomorrow, setting up the new normal for the fall, Noah working less hours, being home for meals, getting the boys into the new routine so we know when to eat, sleep, and play.

|Blogs > coupliNY > My Blog
Erotic Posing
The art of building up desire visually and mentally, deliberately delaying gratification......did you ever notice after you buy yourself that present that you have always wanted, the excitement wears off very quickly? This blog is about developing the art of delaying that moment. I like to showcase and present Lynn in the teaser stud role. I gets her ready for that new stud, and watching her gets that new stud hard and dripping precum in the way that drives her crazy.

what ever helps you to have fun.

Hi-- You people understand the ART-- very well. It works on me-- every day. To me-- the TEASE is for her. Nothing is more intensely arousing as a woman who has been properly pleased -- almost to her brink- and kept there until it has her begging-- to go over. She needs to plead. She needs to curse me. And when she gets that close-- That close --then, I could just wink--wink at her mouth. Wink at her nipples. Wink at her secret spot and then... there she goes! Then, I want to help her-- all the way--- to the end of her endurance. Maybe with my lips. Maybe with my tongue. Maybe with my hands. Maybe with my throbbing Purple Helmet. Maybe- after the waves calm--as she lies, limp and delicious-- I would give her a nice massage-- or lie on top of her like I am her blanket--to ease her to sleep. I want to smell her neck. Rub her head- like a shampoo. When she awakens later- the smile will still be on her lips. Thanks. Maybe we can get together sometime-- I can tell you are busy. Thanks for the many winks. I know YOU are teasing ME.

Infinite Earths: Zone Zero
I just signed up for NaNoWriMo.
I first heard about it five years ago, but this is the first time I'm actually going to try to write a novel(la)-length story. So, by the end of November, I hope to have something 50,000 words long.
This means I'm going back to my childhood. In junior high school, when Power Rangers was on TV and when I thought watching it was cool, I imagined a science fiction world resembling a cross between Sliders and Timecop. Where interdimensional travel was possible and deeply regulated by society for the preservation of existence. At its core, a band of teenage heroes (that's why I mentioned Power Rangers) called the Reality Jumpers were responsible of protecting the interdimensional continuum. This flagship team of the Federal Reality Commission was led by one Jake Tyler, my fictional alter-ego who had better hair but had just as much bad luck with girls as I did. Together, they travel to parallel universes to fight evil and do other heroic things, then go home to try to live very normal lives.
It sounds very nerdy and fanboyish at this point, so over the years I've written and rewritten the canon in my head, and the story universe has grown somewhat dark. The only realistic scenario where minors serve as interdimensional crime fighters is one where, well, most of the elder generation has been obliterated. The Continuum War, then, wiped out most of the society in which the Commission was founded. They sent all the men to fight against extinction. When they started to run out of men, they sent all the women. When they started to run out of women, they (reluctantly) sent the children. Fighting the war was, in essence, a family activity. But with most of the parents gone by the end of the war, how does society rebuild? And how do the children cope?
So on, so forth. There's more of this up on infiniteDeferral, so feel free to look there. I want to write a series of stories in the run up to NaNoWriMo, so look out for those too.

Alaska Railroad Commission Townsite Lot Sales Volumes, 1916-1930
On February 2, 1912, President William Howard Taft sent a special message to Congress asking for government construction and ownership of an Alaskan railroad. The following August, a bill was passed by Congress which provided for a territorial legislature and also carried a rider authorizing the president to study and recommend Alaska railroad routes that would develop both the land and resources for the use of the people of the United States.
The Alaska Railroad Commission was appointed with findings to be reported to the President in December 1912. The result of their investigations into the options available to the federal government in the construction of a railroad were presented in January 1913 to the new president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson. An act was passed in March 1914 that empowered the president to locate and construct a railroad or railroads connecting at least one Pacific port with the interior rivers and one or more coal fields. The president could buy or lease any necessary private property, including rail lines, docks, terminals, telephones, and telegraphs.
President Wilson created the Alaskan Engineering Commission and appointed William C. Edes chairman and Frederick Mears and Thomas Riggs as member of the new commission. From 1914 to 1923 the Alaska Engineering Commission constructed and developed the U.S. Government Railroad. These townsite volumes are part of the records of the Alaskan Engineering Commission, now the Alaska Railroad Corporation, transferred from the National Archives and Records Administrations holdings in Anchorage, Alaska.

Fear not, friends. I know when you read that title, "Things I Don't Understand" you're thinking, 'Man, this could be one long post.'
And it could be. There's a lot I don't understand. A lot of big, deep, profound things that I just don't understand.
This is not one of those posts.
This post is dedicated to the mundane things of life that I don't understand.
Like, commercials for a certain pharmaceutical aimed at gentlemen that feature couples lounging in bathtubs in the most random places. Life a field, or the beach. What is that?
Why do rainy days make me want to take naps?
And what was with that guy who parked behind me in the parking lot at the grocery store yesterday? It's pouring buckets, I make my way to my car only to find it impossible to actually get to my trunk. There's the world's largest truck parked right up on my bumper. Nothing like stashing the groceries in the front seat.
Why does my son think the funniest thing in the world is for him to crawl under my piano, and convince Auntie La La to follow him? (Ok, that one is pretty funny.)
Hot dogs taste better at the ball park, or a bonfire. I don't know why.
Actually, all food tastes better at the ball park. Or a bon fire.
Now I want to roast some marshmallows.
I could not for the life of me get yesterday's post in nice paragraphs. No matter how many times I went back to edit it, and space those paragraphs nicely, it kept spitting my post out in one long blog.
I almost mistyped "post" as "poast." Makes me wonder why "roast" isn't spelled "rost." Rost beef anyone?
I don't understand why I'm so bad at throwing out empty shampoo bottles. Seriously, guys, there are like 5 or 6 empty bottles in my shower. Not all are shampoo--some are other bath products. But still. I need to throw those bad boys away.
So, what about you? Wringing your hands at wait staff? Cashiers got you cuckoo? Is programming your remote control a pain in the tooshie? I want to hear all about it. Just as soon as I fight my way through my empty bottle jungle, and get my shower.
How will they get there?

The last step in completing the tachometer project was hooking the signal wire into my dash tach. I needed to remove the dash to accomplish this. I also needed to make a few other repairs and modifications to my dash. This actually turned out to be a pretty big project.
First, I removed the old fuel and oil pressure gauges. In addition, I relabeled the water temperature guage to read "CNTRLR". I ran a sensor wire to the controller and was hoping to use the old water temperature sender to pick up the controller temperature. (So far, it is reading way too high so I will need to play with the sensor a bit more.)
I then added indicator LEDs in the dash for the main contactor status, the controller cooling fans, and the throttle control circuit that I will be adding to allow slower throttle response. I also added switches under the dash for the controller fans and throttle control circuit.
In addition to adding indicators to the dash, I picked up a few circuits at the dash that will be needed for the various controls and brought them out to the control board under the hood.
Before I knew it, I had run quite a few new wires. I finally hooked everything back up to the dash and reinstalled it. I then tested everything including the tach. Finally, I tucked all of the loose wires under the hood and test drove the car to make sure everything still works as it should. Now I can work on completing the necessary control circuits.

Looking great, Bruce! Are you driving it everywhere yet? Or are you still being conservative? You should be very proud of your handiwork.

Thanks Daniel,
I'm still being conservative with it. I received my new Link 10 meter which I will install soon. With that and the tach, I will feel more confident in pushing the limits some. I still have visions of the controller exploding - guess it's going to take a few miles to get past that experience :)
