The Heavenly PartyMary Bartholomew, via The Good Book Stall
I would like to endorse the words of J. John on the front cover that 'this book dances like fire on the imagination and kindles a warm glow in the heart.' I always look forward to reading anything written by Michelle Guinness and The Heavenly Party could only have been written by her! With her background of growing up in a Jewish family and celebrating at every opportunity with family and friends, it was inevitable that she would miss this joyful behaviour when she became a Christian and subsequently married an Anglican priest. Over the years she and her husband have introduced into their family and church life many echoes of these Jewish celebrations. In so doing, they have highlighted the fact that this is the family and worship life with which Jesus would have been familiar. Over the years the church has taken to itself many ceremonies that were once performed in the home. In The Heavenly Party the author explains all this and suggests all sorts of ways that we can celebrate at home and together, giving some useful and mouth watering recipes at the back, to help you have a wonderful time.

You are an inspiration! I started 4 days ago, I hope I can achieve what you have and I noticed this was Aug of 2013! Curious what happened, did you continue with SP or have the surgery?

Ditto NAYPOOIE and RUSSELL. Low carb shouldn't be restrictive of healthy carbs, which should come from veggies. The protein portion is very nearly the same as recommended by SP guidelines. The fats are where these nutritional plans deviate - and they certainly do that.
I would read and explore a variety of restricted-carb plans, and find the similarities and how the science backs it up (and it does). It may not be for everyone... but it's worked very well for a great number of people in terms not only of weight loss, but overall improved health also.
Real whole foods, ditch the processed things, eat what our bodies recognize as "food" - even so recently as our grandparents' and great-grandparents' times. Modern nutrition is, for the most part, anything but healthy. We can change that, individually... one by one. And don't let "common wisdoms" sway you from those healthier recommendations which are now coming to fore. It's not enough to eat from fear. Educate yourself.

Atkins is meant to be moderate protein, not high. Low carb, moderate protein, and the rest of your calories from fat.
People who try to do Atkins while eating low fat find there is no place else to go for calories except protein. They also find that it doesn't work at all well. Excess protein will derail Atkins almost as fast as excess carbs.
The Good Doctor never intended you to gorge on protein. You eat real, whole foods, with the fat that comes with it. No boneless, skinless chicken breast, no low-fat cheese. You eat until you're comfortable, which comes much more quickly when you eat the fat.

Some doctors do prescribe an 800 calorie-per-day diet, but it's temporary and closely-monitored for morbidly obese patients. My doctor has strong opinions on Ideal Protein (she said absolutely not) but some doctors say it can be done safely. I'd ask your doctor.
Ideal Protein is offered at my hospital and many people have joined it and lost dramatic amounts of weight. Almost every person has gained it all back. The only person I know who lost weight on Ideal Protein and kept it off is a man who married a dietician right after he went off the diet. :)

I am glad I read this response. I too have been contemplating this diet but I know it is not the right thing to do. I am definately giving SparkPeople a try.

Too bad that you are looking at a diet instead of a healthy life style eating plan. As you already know diets don't work. you will loose weight on this plan...........but once you quit it you will gain it all back and then some. Besides what does this plan teach you......? How to starve to death.........How can you live on 800 calories a day....? I tried that once and I was hungry all the time.

I think the wise decision is to determine what you will be able to do when you are finished with the "diet". I have done so many programs. But the SP method of not dieting, but rather changing what you eat, within a wise amount of calories, helps me to know that when I am at my goal weight, I will continue to enjoy the food I have learned to cook over this journey. No other program has empowered me as much as this program.
I did Atkins and all I got from it was sickness. That is low carb and high protein. I do not recommend over time this type of program - for all the reasons stated below.

I had been considering bariatric surgery and the post surgery caloric intake is between 800- 1200 calories for bypass. Tens of thousands of people have have these surgical procedures with vary degrees of success. In the seminars I did not here of many of them dying. I am not so sure your diet would be so bad, but I am no expert. I do not think the surgery is for me, but have not ruled it out yet. That being said if your diet experiment does not work you can change your mind, with surgery there is no turning back. It would alter my anatomy, and what I could eat, for life My current caloric intake is in line with spark recommendations and so far succeeding. Remember each of us is on our own journey and must decide what works for us. Spark is a great tool and I have found great inspiration here. I wish you the greatest success.

I would say not to do it. I have 2 good girlfriends who lost weight on that program. They were both over 300lbs and each lost roughly 100 pounds over 10 months.
Within a year, they had both gained the weight back after stopping the program. They are both now working on losing the weight in a healthier manner, and are doing great! And so strong!
Here is why they stopped:
One began to start losing her hair after about 6 months on program
One developed kidney stones, her doctor said it was a side effect of too much protein.
They were both told NOT TO WORK OUT on that program by their "coaches". That's not right. When you are getting so little nutrients, that you are straight up told not to work out!
They were both exhausted. All of the time.
One had her cholesterol spike to the point of needing meds. She went off the meds after about 2 months off the plan.
And another thing about this program, is that it is a pyramid scheme. It is like avon or arbonne, in the regards that they want to you to sell it, as they make money off of your referral. And also, the product is often sold by "doctors", like gyno's, chiropractors and spa type places. These are not people who are nutritionists. I actually left my gyno's office and found a new Dr. who had ethics, considering that he spent 3/4 of my appt. trying to sell me protein shakes!!
I have heard so many horror stories, from local people here about kidney problems, uti's, people losing hair, muscle degradation... your health is more important than that.
Why not give sparkpeople's calorie recommendations etc. a try for a month. Eat whole foods, mostly plants, and eat more than 1200 cals!! It's free to try and won't leave you physically wasted and exhausted!

Why not just eat low carb? Shakes, and 800 calories will not be something you will follow, and the #1 problem with low carb is that people treat it as a temporary diet. Once you quit, you will gain weight quickly.
You need to find a level of carbs that you feel comfortable eating at, and you lose at, and just be patient. You will lose weight, and not feel deprived.
Low carb works because you don't spike your blood sugars, which means Insulin is not released in large amounts. This lowers your blood sugars, and you get hungry. By avoiding this, you can just eat your scheduled meals, and yo actually eat less, and avoid binges/cheats. Drinking a shake will spike your blood sugar, since it is just digested immediately as is all calories that you drink. More fiber, protein, and fat will take longer to digest, and keep your blood sugars steady. As for carbs, there are a lot of good carbs that you can have.. fruit, vegetables, and beans, depending on the level you can have.
I think if you ate real food, and made changes in the types of carbs you eat, you would be surprised at the amount of carbs, and calories you can eat, and still lose weight steadily. The quality of the carbs is more important than the quantity, up to a certain point, which you must determine for yourself.
The extreme start of a low carb diet is just to get your body adjusted, and isn't really necessary if you can get through the first week or so. You could eat 1200 calories, @ 50 net carbs, and get your vegetable/ fruit serving, along with meat, eggs, cheese, fish, and some healthy fats. If you don't like those foods, you probably should not do low carb. Many diets work for us, and you have to enjoy them, so you continue to eat that way.
Good Luck with whatever you do. Hopefully you find success soon.

Most women will lose weight on 1200 calories; especially if they are able to exercise about 30 minutes or more most days of the week.
Have you talked to your doctor about the difficulty you are having to make sure medically everything is fine?
An 800 calorie diet is very low calorie and should only be used with medical monitoring. Does this program also have classes so you learn how to eat when you return to a more "traditional" eating environment?? Otherwise, you will probably gain the weight back.
SP Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Eating less carbs is one thing, and for most people it is healthy to eat less, partly because often too many carbs come from processed junk, but to eat an "extreme low carb diet with a total calorie intake of 800 calories per day" is quite another. The Very Low Calorie Diet and/or a Very Low Carb Diet should really be undertaken on the advice and supervision of a Registered Dietitian.
I noticed that when I had a look at the Ideal Protein Diet webpage, the first things to strike me was that they were suggesting it as a business opportunity. To me that speaks volumes, and I don't like a lot of noise!!

Eating less carbohydrates, and getting all your carbohydrates from fruit and vegetables (and not from rice, potatoes, bread, and pasta) is healthy not dangerous. I recently read Living low carb by Jonny Bowden and he debunks every myth that we've been told about low carb. It's also very healthy for your pancreas because you're not overloading it with sugar (all carbohydrates break down into sugar for your pancreas to process). You can have a higher calorie diet that contains more protein and fat and get most of your carbohydrates from vegetables and fruit and loose weight.
Below are a couple of links for you to read:
The 800 calorie per day is very dangerous. I remember a woman in NZ was the subject of a TV program to do with the dangers of extreme diets. The woman was on a similar type as you, and was working. She started to suffer from fatigue (low calories and low carbs are notorious for this). One afternoon after work she was driving home from work when she was involved in a very bad car accident. She had shot over the road into an oncoming truck. When the Police twigged she was dieting, they checked to see what and how much she had eaten. They took this information to a Registered Dietitian. She had consumed about 500 calories in the day so far. They Dietitian explained that this is a side-effect of extreme diets which isn't commonly known, but is more common than realized. Not only was it very dangerous for her - her organs health and her bones, etc., it was also very dangerous for others sharing the road. The woman spent quite some time in hospital recovering from what had been expected to end up a fatal.
If you are still finding it difficult to lose weight, I strongly suggest that you ask your Dr for an appointment with a Registered Dietitian and get help from him/her. I know that my Dietitian was brilliant if figuring out why I wasn't able to lose weight, on a very healthy diet and within a normal weight-loss range. I took some random printouts from SP to show her exactly what and how much I was eating.

Absolutely not. Even 1200 cals may be too low for you. 1200 cals is not a "standard diet" it is the *minimum* nutrition recommendations for a woman losing weight. You may have better luck if you increase your calories. Personally, whenever I've dropped too low I experience slow or stagnant weight loss.
First, make sure you are tracking and measuring everything you eat.
Give the diet at least a month before you decide whether or not it's working especially if you're introducing exercise (which often times causes fluid retention in the muscles, masking fat loss).
If you are close to your healthy BMI or within it you should expect slower weight loss than someone in their overweight/obese BMI.
Personally, I find I get the most steady weight loss on 1400-1500 cals and I'm petite at 5'2 115 lbs. So if I'm eating that much and losing, surely anyone should be able to.
You will not be meeting your nutrient requirements on less than 1200 cals, it's hard enough to reach them on 1200 cals. Not to mention, how do you plan on keeping up an 800 cal intake for the rest of your weight loss? If I tried that, I'd be setting myself up for some horrible binge eating. The effects on your metabolism will also be horrific making it very difficult to keep the weight off. I even find myself having to eat a maintenance a couple times a week to fight off a slowed metabolism on 1500 cals.
How will you stay full on shakes over whole foods? Do you plan on drinking shakes after you lose the weight? Now is the time to learn healthy habits (like portion control, a balanced diet, healthy food choices, etc.) you can maintain for life in order to maintain a healthy weight after weight loss. If you don't learn those habits now you're setting yourself up to be a statistic. 95% of people who lose weight put it back on and often times, more. Unless you can see yourself cutting carbs for life, don't do it. Choose healthier carbs if anything (veggies, fruit, legumes, whole grains) and cut back on your sugars and refined carbs.

Eating that far under minimum will absolutely slow your metabolism long term. Such low-calorie diets to produce results, but they're short-term, and most people tend to gain them right back when they return to normal eating patterns. That is NOT enough to sustain regular metabolic function. The dangers of very low carb diets are well known:
"The Long-Term Effects of Low Carbohydrate Diets
When you severely restrict carbohydrates, your consumption of protein and fat increases, which has several long-term effects:
The risk of many cancers increases when fruits, vegetables, whole grain products, and beans are eliminated from the diet.
Protein foods are also high in purines, which are broken down into uric acid. Elevated levels of uric acid in the blood may lead to needle-like uric acid crystals in joints, causing gout.
Kidney stones are more likely to form on high protein, ketosis-producing diets.
Over time, high protein diets can cause a loss of calcium and lead to osteoporosis.
The risk of heart disease is greatly increased on a low-carb diet that is high in protein, cholesterol, fat, and saturated fat. A temporary reduction in cholesterol levels may be experienced, but this is common with any weight loss."
If you decide that you do want to pursue this diet, then you need to be under close medical supervision to watch out for dangerous side effects, including regular blood tests. These kinds of diets should generally only be attempted if the potential side effects DO NOT outweigh the potential benefits, i.e. if you are under medical supervision and you are extremely obese. For most of us who are not extremely obese, this kind of diet is not safe nor advisable.
As for why your 1200 calorie diet was not successful, that is because there's no such thing as a "standard diet" and 1200 calories is possibly too low for you, as well. It's a minimum, generally necessary to ensure your body gets its needs. If you were eating too little on this diet for long enough, your metabolism could potentially already be slowed.

Let me preface this by saying I have had no luck with losing weight on a standard 1200 calorie diet that included a variety of foods. I have just started the ideal protein diet, which is an extreme low carb diet with a total calorie intake of 800 calories per day. It consists of 3 shakes, 4 cups of vegetables, and 8 oz of lean protein per day. I am concerned about whether I should continue to pursue this diet because I'm worried that there may be lasting consequences on my metabolism because of the low calories. Please, are there any opinions out there about the safety or efficacy of this diet? Thank you.

I have spent years searching high and low..... depression and pain ruled most of my life...... when I was smart enough to ask him for help, is the only time things actually work out..... he takes away my depression..... heals relationships, and is the only provider there is...... out in the dark I had nothing, nadda, zip, zilch..... when I rember him, he ALLWAYS remebers me.... I DO NOT deserve it.
I am not religious, I am not some devout person.... I have rarley read my bible in years..... I still smoke, still drink, still have anger and bitterness and need to learn to forgive....
You mention EGO..... my ego is disgusting, makes me the biggest idoit fool out there....
YET still in all of my laziness and imperfection, the one and only place I can ever get help,, is from him..... not one other person or thing in this world that I can rely on, and the ONLY person who never needs anything in return from me.
The only good I DO ever do, is because he let me have the privillage of listening to him for once, so I could get the joy out of whatever good thing he gave me the privillage to do....
So, for me it is knowing, not believing, but knowing he is real, just as much as I know you are real.....
Wish I was a better person though..... my listening devices aren't the greatest, because you were right, my ego sucks! and my ego hates me.

I think you misunderstood. I brought up the thing about the translation of a translation of yet another translation, because that's exactly what happened with the OT. I did not say that this is how translations are done. The OT was translated from Hebrew to Greek, then based on the Greek septuaginta it was translated to Latin and finally to German first and other languages later. At least that's my understanding. It's not how things are done today, but it's how things were done back then.
As for me never being a translator, that's just your assumption in a vain try to discredit me, because you misunderstood something. You will allow me to know better which jobs I had in my life and which not.

Is this thread finished, or is there more to this that I haven't considered?
Comments and observations to the question are one thing. ANSWERS to the question are another.
Are we done here?
What captives?
How does blood set captives free? This is irrational thought. Just as it doesn't make sense that sacrificing one's life does not help in forgiving sins. Forgiving sins helps in forgiving sins.

From The San Mateo County Times
By Francine Brevetti
FOR ANNA LAVERIA MAY, it took three years to finalize her divorce from husband Francis N. Luke because she feared the adversarial court system.
"All I ever heard about divorce was horror stories and people hating each other," May said. "I was a child of divorced parents, and (their divorce) was ugly."
But May and Luke wanted to conduct a divorce amiably and cheaply. The couple finally found a way to dissolve their 14 1/2-year marriage without the courts and without lawyers. It saved them stress and lots of money and kept their friendship intact. In fact, they still share a home in Hayward even after their divorce.
The underfunded court jurisdictions require longer waits, and therefore soaring attorney fees; and unhappy spouses must suffer through a frequently torturous adversarial system, experts say.
Read More…
Tango's Take
We mentioned this trend a few weeks ago. see the Dish from February 28, 2007. Amicable divorce is the second best outcome possible. The best, of course, is amicable reconciliation. But sometimes it just doesn't make any sense to beat a dead horse; you know it's over, he knows it's over, it's time to face facts. Now you can get back to replaying over and over again what went wrong and telling your friends that he cries after sex (it's called cry-maxing).

Hi, does anyone have a "road opener" spell. or I think that's what I need or what it's called. I didn't find anything on the site.
I'd like to do one in conjunction with a reconciliation spell for an ex who told me he still has strong feelings for me but for whatever reason, doesn't want to go down that path again (mainly out of fear of getting hurt a second time.)

Source: Gilbert's recruitment of Izzo
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Fitting his reputation, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert appears to be getting aggressive and serious in search of a new coach.
According to multiple sources, Gilbert has discussed the framework of a massive contract offer to Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo. Gilbert, a Michigan State graduate, has handled the recruitment personally and Izzo is said to be mulling the chance to jump to the NBA.
The offer is said to be worth approximately $6 million annually and would be for up to five years, much larger than the industry standard for a coach without previous NBA head coaching experience. The offer might also be loaded with potential bonuses and perks including free use of one of Gilbert's private jets.
The Plain Dealer reported that Izzo was on the team's short list when Mike Brown was fired two weeks ago. Yahoo Sports reported over the weekend that Izzo had emerged as Gilbert's top candidate after he announced a split with general manager Danny Ferry. The Lake County News Herald reported Sunday night that Izzo had been offered the job.
Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said today that Izzo had not been offered a contract by the Cavs. It is possible the Cavs haven't formalized an offer. But several sources indicated Gilbert stepped up his recruitment efforts over the weekend.
Several people who are friends of Izzo said that they didn't think he'd take the job without first finding out whether LeBron James would re-sign with the Cavs.
This is a position most in the NBA have taken since Brown was fired. It appears Gilbert is trying to overcome this worry by presenting such a large salary and benefits.
Izzo's base salary at Michigan State is $1.6 million with a guaranteed $1 million in bonuses per year. After leading the Spartans to their sixth Final Four in the last 12 years, Izzo hit bonuses that jacked up his pay package to more than $3 million. Gilbert, it seems, has offered to double that.
The Spartans have a strong returning team and an excellent recruiting class and may be ranked in the top 3 in preseason polls. Izzo has told people he'd like to remain at Michigan State until he won another title.
Izzo has allowed himself to be wooed in the past only to turn down the chance at large salary increases. He's rebuffed the Hawks, Raptors, Timberwolves and Pistons over the last 10 years.
i want the use of a private jet too

My youngest DD is sleeping in bed with us. Has been since four months after she was in the PICU for a week and we just never broke the habit. Now I think it's time to break the habit. But when we lay her down in the pack and play she pops her head up and screams bloddy murder! What is it ??! and how do i fix it ?
Yep, putting her bed by yours is by far the easiest thing to do. This is gonna be happening on and off for the next 4 or 5 years at least. She probably will go through periods where you think the problem is solved, and then it will crop up again. It just goes with the territory for most parents.
But look at it this way, you want your dd to be super smart and calm, right? Well research now shows that children crave touches and cuddles for a reason. It makes their brains grow. It helps neural connections to form. This brain growth and the neurons that grow affect learning and behavior, language, and lots of other things. So when you're feeling frustrated cuz your girl is crying, just remember that she's telling you to give her a touch or a cuddle and give her brain a boost! Also secure attachment is the foundation for exploration and acheiving appropriate stages of identity and self esteem. So you are helping her feel secure now, so she can venture into the world later and know you will be a reliable safety net.
And I swear it goes by fast. My youngest is home from college today for a few weeks. I couldn't wait to cuddle and snuggle her. I miss her so much. And she slept next to me on and off for her first 5 years.
Even at ten months, gradually move her out. have her bed next to yours, let her fall asleep in yours and move her to her own bed, and let her sleep with one of your nightgowns or tshirts, etc.
Quoting SheciaBaby:
no... Ten months
Quoting orngblsm:
If I read your profile right, your daughter is now four years old. You will have a fight on your hands. Start by getting her a toddler bed that can be set up next to yours. (She is too old for a Pack 'N' Play. Those are for babies, which she isn't any longer.) Let her fall asleep in your bed and then move her to the other bed. Make sure she has a nightgown or something of yours to hold on to while she sleeps. Try having her take naps on her own bed and eventually to go to sleep in her own bed. After she gets used to that, move her to her own room and you be with her while she goes to sleep. Set up a bedtime routine that settles her down and gets her to sleep while on her own bed. It is a gradual separation process that really can't be rushed. I don't know how well it will work if you have a baby on the way. Be prepared for regressive behavior. She will see it as being displaced by the new baby. The good news is she is four, old enough to let go a bit and be the big sister. Maybe if you talk to her about how big she is and how grown up she is getting and how big girls get to sleep in their own beds while babies sleep with mommy, it might work. Maybe getting her a doll to sleep with like she slept with you while she was a "baby" might help with the separation as well.
Quoting lnrmom:
Rock her to sleep, then gently lay her down and rub ber back til she falls back to sleep. Lullabies, soft jazz, or classical music playing quietly helps as well.
Quoting cupcake7610:
I kinda had this issue with my son. I just made sure his bed was next to mine. I would also hold my hand over the edge of the playpen, just so he knew I was there. It will get better, just takes time. Try putting like something of yours that smells like you, in the playpen. Might help. Good luck!
That's a good start. The fact is that you just have to be firm and consistent. They will cry at first because it is a change, but they adapt quickly if you don't give in. If you give in just one night, you have to start all over again. You might have better luck if you move him to another room, as well. A baby monitor lets you keep an ear on him while he's not right beside you.
My granddaughter had a tough time giving up being rocked to sleep. (No co-sleeping at this house), and mom just sat next to the bed and held hands with her until she drifted off. Then mom moved out of reach and read a book (no talking and no eye contact) for a few days. Then out of the room. Yes, dgd cried herself to sleep a few nights, but it didn't last long.
Of course, I did know a mom with two boys, ages 4 & 5, who started the night with her husband; nursed the first boy to wake up and come to her, then left her bed to join the other boy, nurse him, and finish up the night. Not my style, and I'm not recommending it; but it worked for them.
Quoting Pammi86:
How old is she? My dd is almost 18 months and we can not get her out of our bed either! She makes herself throw up and all! I have no idea what to try anymore but I have to figure it out bc we have baby #2 due in June!
Different things work for different children. You should try and set a routine if you don't already have one something like last meal, bath, bedtime (or if the baby drinks milk still then the reverse, bath time, bottle and bedtime) at the same time every night. At bed time put her in her bed and either lay or stand next to her. Talk to her. Let her know it is time for bed. When she falls asleep leave. If she cries, let her cry. In the beginning it will be hard but after a few days she will understand and will do it less. The most important part is you talking to her. Children need firmness, consistency and to feel safe. The routine helped me with my first, he slept all night and by himself at 2 months. It did not work with my second child, I tried letting him cry but couldn't resist after 5 days. I ended up holding his hand until he was 5!. It did not work with my third, my daughter. She was so physically and emotionally attached that it was hard and my husband had long hours and we both worked so letting her cry didn't seem like an option. She is now 9. She just started sleeping alone in her room 3 months ago. I know many people who have let their children cry and succeeded. If I had to do it all over again I would have let her cry and maybe if I had thought about it, I would have put her to bed early like 8 or 7:30pm allowing for it not to disturb my husbands sleep time (it was always 9pm).
You just gotta let her know you mean business. Its going to be a little difficult since she got used to staying in the bed. Every Time she gets up you lay her down and its bedtime. then after the first few times. On the last time you lay her down again and let her know it is bedtime and let her put herself to sleep. So just walk out the room so you don't gotta hear the madness.

Having problems with your Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 Digital Camera ?

As summer temperatures rise, Ashlanders are required to keep weeds and grass cut short.
As summer temperatures rise, Ashlanders are required to keep weeds and grass cut short.
City ordinance requires grass to be cut and maintained at 4 inches or shorter after June 15, Ashland Fire & Rescue officials noted in a reminder sent this week.
The rule applies to property, park rows and other right-of-way areas abutting property. Lots larger than one acre can have mowed buffers of 15 feet around the property and driveways and 30 feet around homes.
Fire officials said that during last year's fire season, more than 840 weed abatement inspections were completed. While 472 properties were found in compliance on the first inspection, 184 notices to abate were issued, which cost almost $1,000 to mail and each required at least two inspections. Citations were issued to owners and tenants at two properties which failed to mow last summer, fire officials said.
Read more about the rules at www.ashland.or.us/weedabatement. After June 15, neighbors also can file complaints at that site.

City, State Officials Dedicate Clays Mill Road Project
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Motorists and bicyclists have been using it for awhile, but today city and state transportation officials cut the ribbon on the first phase of improvements along Clays Mill Road.
The $3.9M project, designed by CDP Engineers, includes new curbs and gutters, sidewalks, bike lanes and storm sewers. At a Tuesday morning ceremony presided over by Lexington Mayor Jim Gray, 9th District Councilman Jay McChord said the Clays Mill project is an example of compromise for the common good.
"The was the very first complete street design. It was done before we even adopted complete streets as what we are going to do in Lexington. A complete street just gives a place for cars, for bikes, and for people. This design has stood the test of time through all those challenges, so I want thank everyone at CDC and the contractor for working with neighbors and addressing their concerns."
Phase one stretches from Keithshire Way to Higbee Mill Road. Crews will return to the area in the spring to start work on phase two: Higbee Mill, across Man 'O War Boulevard, to Twain Ridge Road.
Estimated cost for that project is another $3M.

It provides application programmers with continuations, messages, and rights management on top of a peer-to-peer network resisting byzantine failures of network nodes. The API significantly raises the level of abstraction in comparison with other operating systems: there are very few system calls, and these are expressed in XML. An alternative understanding of Askemos is that of an XML object database with stored procedures.

Story highlights
- Sony presses advantage with exclusive, early PlayStation 4 titles
- New "Little Big Planet," "Uncharted" titles are on the way
- Sony also announced streaming service, PlayStation TV
- A movie based on "Ratchet & Clank" is on the way
Sony looked to capitalize on its early sales lead in the console wars at its Electronic Entertainment Expo media briefing on Monday, repeating the mantras of "first," "better" and "only on" as selling points for its PlayStation 4.
Hours earlier, rival Microsoft stuck strictly to games for the Xbox One in a similar briefing. But Sony's presentation included new hardware and non-gaming services as well as promises of exclusive titles and titles that will launch on PlayStation before coming to other consoles.
Andrew House, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, said the company aims to make the PS4 "the best place to play."
Max Parker, a video game columnist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, noted that the more inclusive presentation was a bit of a switch with Microsoft, which last year focused on the Xbox's entertainment potential while, in some eyes, giving games less than their due.
"Sony pulled a 180 and switched roles," Parker said. "Last year, they didn't talk very much about the (services and non-game content)." He added, though, that "there was a lot of good content, games-wise" to go along with the extras this year.
One of the biggest crowd reactions of the presentation came when "Little Big Planet 3" was announced for November. Sackboy, the lead character in the puzzle-platform series, will get three new friends to join him in amazing new worlds, as well as the 8.7 million levels created by current "Little Big Planet" players.
And a never-before-seen trailer, created using the PS4, announced that "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End," will be arriving for the console in 2015.
On the hardware front, Sony announced that PlayStation TV will be available in the United States later this year. Already available in Japan as PlayStation Vita TV, the $99 micro-console will allow users to play more than 1,000 games on their television and stream music and video from sites like Hulu.
A new "Glacier White" PlayStation 4 also will be released later this year, bundled with the action shooter "Destiny," which will be released in September.
The surprise success of the PlayStation Camera -- a $60 add-on to the console -- and Project Morpheus, Sony's attempt at a virtual-reality headset, also got mentions.
Other announcements included a partnership with YouTube that will let players automatically upload video to the site, a video-streaming service (PlayStation Now) and two pieces of original entertainment -- a movie based on the "Ratchet & Clank" series and an animated series based on the graphic novel "Powers."
"The thirst for innovation at PlayStation is tremendous," said Shawn Layden, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America.
PlayStation 4 sales jumped out to a quick lead over the Xbox One when both consoles were released in November, and it has outsold Microsoft's offering for four straight months this year. It's worth noting, though, that both are outselling their last-generation counterparts to date, and that PlayStation is currently available in more countries than the Xbox.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
Let me first say that I would have no idea how to write a novel as well as the author did. That said, I found this novel to be a somewhat engaging thriller, but with very two dimensional, unbelievable characters.
The initial premise of the novel is pretty far-fetched. A government contractor who employs a hit man to do away with anyone who is seen to be a threat to the company. However, there doesn't seem to be any suspicion around all of these people who are disappearing until our hero arrives on the set.
Most of the male characters had essentially the same personality, value system, and mode of behavior. For the most part, everyone is Rambo.
The protagonist has outrageous luck. Despite vast odds against him, many mortal wounds, and loss of just about all his blood, he still triumphs and has the energy for making love. Yet for all his resolve to to right the situation, when someone to whom he is close turns out to be the real villain, he just paves the way for that person to continue.
Everyone seems to be having epiphanies, even those you would expect are actually anti-social.
Nevertheless, the plot was involving if you could manage to suspend your sensibilities long enough.
"Very weak at best"
Espionage thrillers with a political slant can tend to sometimes be too formulaic, but there is usually an expectation of likeable, idiosyncratic characters as well as unforeseen plot twists to keep the story engaging. Needless to say, this audiobook offers little of these features. There are simply too many other good selections to choose from. It's not so much that the story is bad, but just not worth the time and effort.

Fernando Alonso has called on Ferrari to work "day and night" to propel the ailing marque back to the front of the grid.
Ferrari's failings this season were laid bare under the glare of the spotlights at the Bahrain International Circuit on Sunday. On a track where power is critical, Ferrari found themselves lacking, so that Alonso finished ninth and team-mate Kimi Raikkonen 10th, both over 30 seconds adrift of the race winner, Lewis Hamilton. With Mercedes' dominant start to the season, Alonso is facing another catch-up campaign and potentially a fifth year at Ferrari without a world title.
"Sunday's race was complicated for us, even if we knew what to expect, because with its long straights the track showed up our weak points," Alonso said. "Although we did all we could, we can't be happy with our level of performance and now our sole focus must be on working day and night. The season is in its early stages and we can stage a recovery. We have the resources and the potential to do it and it's all down to us."
The teams returned to the circuit on Tuesday for the first of four two-day tests this year, as in-season testing returns to Formula One. Ferrari know they cannot alter anything to do with the new power unit but can instead focus on improving their aero package to find time through fuel efficiency.
"The test is very important," Alonso said. "We have a very aggressive programme, which we need as our rivals will not just be sitting back and watching."
The team principal, Stefano Domenicali, claimed the weekend overall was "as difficult as we had thought it would be", with the grand prix one "we must forget".
The president of Ferrari, Luca Di Montezemolo, attended his first race this year, and he would have been far from happy with what he witnessed, as Ferrari struggled to make any inroads.
Domenicali has emphasised the critical importance of the next two days in Bahrain, saying: "I expect to see an initial step up in terms of quality. The team must not get downhearted, even if things have not turned out the way they should so far. They must continue to work in order to step up a gear as quickly as possible."

How can you tell if a binomial is a difference of two perfect squares and how does the process of factoring a difference of two perfect squares?
- print Print

Expert Answers
lemjay | Certified Educator
A binomial of difference of two squares has a form:
`a^2 - b^2`
From its name difference of two squares, the operation between the two terms a^2 and b^2 is subtraction.
And its factor form is:
`a^2 - b^2=(a-b)(a+b)`
For example:
`x^2 - 9`
This is a binomial of difference of two squares because:
(1) the first term is in the form a^2,
(2) the second term can be express as b^2, since 9=3^2, and
(3) the operation between the two terms is subtraction.
So, the given binomial can be re-written as:
Now that it is the form a^2 - b^2, apply its factor (a-b)(a+b).
Hence, `x^2-9=(x-3)(x+3).`

This Proxy (at version 1.10) is still quite erratic at been a proxy server, it will sometimes randomly point to Google or Google's 404 page or somewhere else. And sometimes websites will not load at all, just generic 404. Even when redirecting content like ps3-updatelist.txt will sometimes point elsewhere.

Download: SKFUPr0xy.exe (Win32 - auto install all dependencies) / SKFUPr0xy.zip / SKFU Pr0xy Guide
To quote: Recently I have read Wololo's article "Best PSP/Vita Homebrew for November 2013" and noticed that my quite old "SKFU's VITA Pr0xy" is still being used by many people.
Sadly I kinda' missed to release an updated version of my proxy software anytime. Thanks to the great feedback for my old proxy, here comes the very new one: "SKFU's Pr0xy".
I did remove the "VITA" from it's name since it changed a lot after the release of my old proxy server software, I don't want people to think it is a limited to PSV piece of software. It definitely is not!
But what it is and what it got:
- The most user-friendly Windows Pr0xy
- Keyword filter
- Filter plugin support (users can create and share plugins)
- Rules by traffic direction
- Import & Export of rules
- Blacklist
- Raw data modification
- Fast de-/encode

Absolutely typical, LOCOG can't just ask residents to make sure their gardens are tidy and if possible plant some flowers. Why does everything have to be corporate!
Surrey residents with front gardens along the route of next year's Olympic Road Race are being urged to say it with flowers by creating floral displays in colours matching the London 2012 logo - green, blue, purple, orange, pink and yellow – a combination that one local horticultural enthusiast has described as "disgusting."
Mole Valley District Council (MVDC) has relayed a request to co-ordinate front gardens from the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) to parish councils and residents' associations, together with tips about the type and shape of plants that can be used.
According to the website This Is Surrey, an email sent to the organisations concerned reads: "As many of you may know LOCOG has tight control over how the Games will look – including use of the Olympic logo, advertising along or close to the route and how the route is dressed.
"MVDC, Surrey County Council and LOCOG are already thinking about this last aspect and we have received guidance from LOCOG on the issue of route dressing."
Judy Kinloch, chairman of the Mickleham and Westhumble Horticultural Society, left no room for doubt about her opinion of how the suggested colours would work together.
"It sounds just disgusting," she told This Is Surrey. "I mean you can get plants all those colours, but I can't believe it will look harmonious.
"My feeling is that it's all a bit over the top. It's not really their place to be telling people what to plant."
Meanwhile, Richard Roberts-Miller, chairman of Mickleham Parish Council, pointed out that the issue was of secondary importance compared to tasks such as managing spectators and ensuring access for the emergency services.
"I felt that there might be other things higher up their priority list than what we plant in our gardens," he explained.
There is some support for the proposal, however, David Preedy, councillor for But Box Hill and Headley and chairman of Box Hill parish council, commented: "If gardening clubs are doing hanging baskets, for instance, why not do an Olympic theme? I think it's a great way to get people involved and embrace the spirit of the Games.
"All you need to do is buy a pack of seeds and you can take part, so it's an easy way to get engaged."
Darren Mepham, chief executive of MVDC, added: "Our aim is to support groups such as parish councils and residents' associations which would like information and support about the games, whilst also respecting the views of those who are looking to either mark the occasion in their own way or are not planning to celebrate the games."
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.

Louis Zukofsky was born in Manhattan, on the lower east side, in 1904 to Pinchos and Channa Pruss Zukofsky, immigrants from what is now Lithuania. His father's Orthodox Jewish faith eventually became a point of contention between them, but Zukofsky always recognized the influence his immigrant parents' struggle and faith had on him, writing about it in his early work,
The Zukofskys spoke Yiddish at home so Louis did not begin to learn English until he started public school. However he had already been exposed to great writers from Shakespeare to Tolstoy at the Yiddish theater. Zukofsky attended Columbia University where he studied philosophy and English, earning his master's degree in 1926. He also began writing poetry, publishing some of it in student publications.
By 1929, he had made himself known to Ezra Pound, who liked his work and encouraged the editors of
In 1933, Zukofsky found work as a supervisor on a Works Progress Administration project where he met Celia Thaew, a musician and composer. They married in 1939 and had a son, Paul, in 1943. Celia collaborated with Zukofsky on most of his projects after their marriage, composing music for his poetry and typing manuscripts, as well as managing the household.
Despite his early success with
Zukofsky's last new work,
Holograph and typescript manuscripts and correspondence make up the bulk of the Louis Zukofsky Collection (1910-1985). The collection is organized into five series: I. Works, 1921-1978 (17.5 boxes), II. Letters, 1930-1968 (3.5 boxes), III. Recipient, 1924-1977 (9.5 boxes), IV. Miscellaneous, 1910-1985 (6.5 boxes), and V. Subject Files, 1936-1975 (7 boxes). The first four series are arranged alphabetically by title or author. The fifth series is arranged alphabetically by subject, generally the title of a work. This collection was previously accessible through a card catalog, but has been re-cataloged as part of a retrospective conversion project.
Materials acquired before 1970 were cataloged and arranged in the standard arrangement of Works, Letters, Recipient, and Miscellaneous. Aquisitions that arrived after 1970 were arranged by subject, so that letters about a publication were filed with the manuscript. It was decided to leave the material grouped in this order and place it in a fifth series, rather than distribute it throughout the collection. All works and correspondence are indexed to facilitate use.
The Works Series covers Zukofsky's writing career thoroughly between 1921 and 1968,
including the
The Letters Series is relatively small but does contain a large collection of letters from Zukofsky to fellow poets Cid Corman, Lorine Niedecker and Carl Rakosi. Most of the letters in this series are personal, however some communications with publishers and organizations are present. The Recipient Series is much larger and contains substantial numbers of letters to Zukofsky from Basil Bunting, Cid Corman, Guy Davenport, Hayden Carruth, Robert Creeley, Hugh Kenner, Marianne Moore, Samuel Newberry, Lorine Niedecker, Ezra Pound, Mary Ellen Solt, Jonathan Williams, and William Carlos Williams. An Index of Correspondents is located in this guide.
The Miscellaneous Series is composed largely of works by other authors and correspondence between other people about Zukofsky. There are three theses, several reviews of Zukofsky's publications, works by Lorine Niedecker, a series of holograph poems by Whittaker Chambers in a travel diary, and a quantity of envelopes and folders. Also included are a few newspaper clippings, notes on the publication of Zukofsky's works and an honorary degree from Bard College. An Index of Works by Other Authors is included at the end of this guide.
The Subject Files Series contains more holographs and typescripts of Zukofsky's later
work, including
Elsewhere in the Ransom Center are an extensive collection of newspaper clippings and other printed materials covering the publication and criticism of Zukofsky's work (Vertical Files), 17 sound recordings (Manuscript Sound Recordings Index), some video footage, a series of collages and drawings by and of Zukofsky in the Art Collection, a few photographs in the Literary Files of the Photography Collection, and a wallet that belonged to Zukofsky in the Personal Effects Collection.

For more explicit descriptions of items in the Zukofsky Collection, see:
It should be noted that the catalog numbers provided in these sources cannot be used to retrieve materials.
Index entries that include the notation (from Zukofsky) indicate that the person is the recipient of correspondence from Zukofsky.
In general, the box and folder number are followed by the recipient of the letter(s) and the date of the letter(s) when known. Where there is no number, there is only one letter. So in the example
Albiach, Anne-Marie--42.1 (3 to Zukofsky, 1969-1970)
Albiach sent 3 letters to Zukofsky between the years 1969 and 1970 and they are located in box 42, folder 1.
When a correspondent received as well as sent letters, or sent letters to more than one recipient, the sender and/or recipients are listed beneath the sender and the date or span of dates of the correspondence are followed by the box and folder number. So in the example
Barker, Richard Hindry, 1902-1968--
6 to Zukofsky, 1962-1964--21.2
to Celia Zukofsky, 1961--30.11
Barker sent 6 letters to Zukofksy between 1962 and 1964 and they are located in box 21, folder 2 and Barker sent one letter to Celia Zukofsky in 1961 which is located in Box 30, folder 11.
