United States District Court, S.D. Mississippi, Northern Division
August 17, 2017
UNITED STATES OF AMERICAv.JOHN WILLIE JOHNSON Civil No. 3:16-CV-481- HTW
the Court are four motions related to petitioner's motion
pursuant to §2255 to vacate, set aside or correct
sentence by a person in federal custody. Two of the motions
are filed by the petitioner, John Willie Johnson: 1)
[doc. no. 45], a motion to deem admitted all
of the arguments and allegations of Johnson's § 2255
petition; and 2) [doc. no. 50], a motion for
an expedited ruling. [1] Two motions, filed by the government, are
also before the court: 1) [doc. no. 48],
motion for extension of time to file a response in opposition
to Johnson's §2255 motion; and 2) [doc. no.
51], a second motion for extension of time to file a
response to Johnson's §2255 motion. The government
has now filed its Response in Opposition to Johnson's
§2255 motion [doc. no. 57]. The court, therefore, grants
the requested extensions for time, retroactively, and the
government's opposition brief is treated as timely filed.
Motion to Deem Admitted
motion to deem admitted all of the arguments and allegations
of Johnson's §2255 petition, [doc. no. 45], is
denied. This court previously denied Johnson's second
motion to deem admitted [doc. no. 49] but inadvertently
failed to address the earlier motion. The court does so now.
By its
order of February 17, 2017, [doc. no. 44], this court ordered
the Government to respond to Petitioner Johnson's §
2255 motion within ten days, an admittedly short period of
time. The government failed to timely respond. The
Petitioner, therefore, filed his motion asking that the
matters alleged in his petition be deemed admitted and that
his petition under §2255 be granted. The government
filed its response to the first motion to deem admitted and
also filed a motion for additional time to respond to
Johnson's §2255 motion on June 5, 2017. On the same
date, petitioner filed a second motion to deem admitted [doc.
no. 49], and a motion to expedite ruling [doc. no. 50],
seeking to have the court render its decision without
considering the government's opposing briefs. The court
entered its order on June 14, 2017, [doc. no. 55] denying
petitioner's second motion to deem admitted, but failed
to address the first such motion.
Court is persuaded that to deem petitioner's allegations
as admitted without a review of the merits would not be
appropriate. To deem the alleged matters admitted and grant
the petition, would be akin to a default judgment; and, as
the Government points out in its brief [doc. no. 47], default
judgments are not appropriate in habeas proceedings.
United States v. Morrison, 2016 WL 5886697, at *40
(W.D. Tex. Aug. 10, 2016) (citing Hyder v.
Quarterman, 2007 W.L. 2823301, at *6 (S.D. Tex. Sept.
27, 2007)). Default in habeas proceedings differs from
default in other civil cases, because "it would not be
the defaulting party but the public at large that would be
made to suffer…" Bermudez v. Reid, 733
F.2d 18, 21-22 (2d Cir. 1984).
to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the government's
delay in responding to a court order is not sufficient reason
to grant a habeas petition. Wiggins v. Procunier,
753 F.2d 1318, 1321 (5th Cir. 1985) (citing
Hyder at *6); Broussard v. Lippman, 643
F.2d 1131, 1134 (5thCir. 1981). Even the
Government's inexcusable disregard of a district
court's orders to respond to a petition, does not warrant
the granting of the habeas petition. Thompson v. United
States, 2010 WL 3782028 at *4 (E.D. Tex. Aug. 23, 2010)
(citing Bermudez v. Reid, 733 F.2d 18, 21-22 (2d
Cir. 1984)). This court is persuaded that Petitioner's
motion to deem admitted [doc. no. 49], should be and hereby
is, denied.
court is likewise persuaded that Petitioner's motion for
expedited ruling [doc. no. 50]. should also be denied. The
motion for expedited ruling is another attempt to have the
court make its ruling without the government's Response
to Johnson's §2255 motion, which this court declines
to do. The court expects to make a ruling on petitioner's
motion pursuant to §2255 within the next forty-five
days, taking into consideration the briefs filed by both
For all
of the reasons stated, the Government's motions for
extensions of time [doc. no. 48] and
[doc. no. 51] are hereby
granted and its response in opposition to
Johnson's § 2255 motion [doc. no. 57] and is deemed
timely filed. Petitioner's motion to deem admitted
[doc. no. 45] and motion for expedited
ruling [doc. no. 50] are hereby
[1] The petitioner, John Willie Johnson,
also has pending before this court a motion pursuant to
§2255 to vacate, set aside or correct sentence by a
person in federal custody [doc. no. 42]. This court will

I have finally written a synopsis for Heart of Hope's new plot. (For some reason writing a synopsis for this book has always been difficult.)
After sitting on the shelf for over two years it's back out. I started this book at fifteen and finished it at eighteen and it had a lot of growing up to do. I fought with it on and off for a year or so until I finally had to shelf it, and honestly, it was the best thing I could do for it. Now, nine years after it's creation, Heart of Hope is growing up. I've grown and matured as a writer and as a person. I have more experience and a bit more practice since then and I'm hoping this rewrite does the trick.
Slowly but surely it's moving from cliched first book to an adventure fantasy I'd actually want to read. Hurry for progress!
Anywho…here is the new working synopsis. Whatchya think?
In a land ruled by humans, elves and dwarves are looked down on as "lesser races". If you are anything but full human, you are nothing. Avalyn is a half-elf. Her and her mother Rhea struggle to survive in a world that sees them as tainted. When Rhea is arrest and taken as a dept-slave, Avalyn does everything she can to buy her mother's freedom.
The King of Barita is not content with the human realm, he want's it all. Allied with an ancient power, he launches a war against the elven and dwarven kingdoms. With the dwarven kingdom crumbling, all he needs is someone of elven blood to bring him the key to the elf's downfall and Arcana will be his.
Avalyn is given a chance to win her mother's freedom and pay all depts, but can she betray a people who make up half of what she is? Can she see past a web of lies and see she is not what has been branded on her? Will she discover the truth before it's too late and if so, will she accept it?
P.S. Posts coming soon!

Sony Celebrated When The Xbox One's $499 Price Tag Was Revealed
Scott Rohde, head of Sony Worldwide Studios Software Product Development, recently said that the company has been working towards a $399 price for the PS4 for years. It was always the target.
Rohde said that the moment Sony unveiled the launch price of the PS4 at their E3 conference was an amazing feeling for the whole development team.
- You'll Be Able To Play (Expensive) PS2 Games On Your PS4 Now | 2 months ago
- Jessica Jones Disempowers Its Male Characters And The Effect Is Refreshing | 2 months ago
- Hell Is 30 000 Deathclaws Tearing Through Boston And It's Glorious | 2 months ago
- Sony Santa Monica Is Teasing Something Truly Strange | 2 months ago
When asked about how it felt for Sony, Rohde responded:
"Absolutely great. It was an amazing feeling. Absolutely. We went nuts. We were just like everybody else because this plan has been in place for years. Developing a new console takes a long time.
"With a goal that was set in motion about three or four years ago, we saw this at the February event about how we talked to all the different developers. You know, what do you like about the PS3, what would you like to see changed, that's all real. All that happened. Our goal was to build the most powerful console at a price that was affordable and we set that target at $399. All the great engineers in Japan, Mark Cerny was leading all those teams, everything all came together.
"The developers said what they wanted, eight gigs of the fastest ram available, all these things that developers wanted, still managed to do that in a machine that was super slick looking and still did it for $399 and that's why it's a moment we're very proud of. That was accentuated when our competitors announced that theirs was $499."
Rohde said that there was a lot of celebrating for Sony when Microsoft's price tag was announced. The staff were high-fiving and getting all excited because the price difference would naturally make the PS4 look significantly better as a platform choice.
"As soon as it was announced there was running up and down the aisles, "woohoo!". That's going to make our announcement that much better."
Personally, I'm happy with the price. I expected it to be $50 cheaper or so due to the Xbox One coming with a compulsory Kinect, but the difference is certainly larger than I, or anyone that I know, expected.

If you love peanut butter, this is the chocolate cream pie recipe for you.
While I admit this creamy pie isn't necessarily a diet food, combining reduced fat peanut butter with store bought low-calorie chocolate pudding mix, really cuts the calories in this decadent treat. Add a store purchased crust and you can have this chocolate cream pie ready in no time flat.
I'm not the peanut butter fan in the family, and would have been just as happy with a simple chocolate pie, but Mr. Mike loves peanuts so this treat didn't last long in the frig for sure!
Serves 8
- 1 box sugar free fat free instant chocolate pudding
- 2 ½ cups low fat milk
- 1 container fat free cool whip
- ½ cup reduced fat peanut butter
- 1 package low fat graham cracker crust
- 4 tablespoons peanuts, chopped
- 1. Whip pudding mix, milk and peanut butter until smooth.
- 2. Fold in whipped topping and smooth into graham cracker crust.
- 3. Top with chopped peanuts.

A stone circle is a monument of standing stones arranged in a circle. Such monuments have been constructed across the world throughout history for many different reasons. Outside of Europe, stone circles have also been erected, such as the 6300~6900 BCE Atlit Yam in Israel and 3000~4000 BCE Gilgal Refaim nearby, or the Bronze Age examples from Hong Kong. The best known tradition of stone circle construction occurred across the British Isles. Source

Starting Tuesday and continuing through the weekend, the Boston Conservatory at Berklee will hold its annual New Music Festival: The Music of Nico Muhly, February 7–12, with Kunkemueller artist-in-residence Muhly on campus for the duration. He begins his residency at the Conservatory today, February 6; it ends Saturday, on the date of the 150th anniversary of the institution.
This is the first festival of Muhly's works in Boston, and many will be performed in the city for the first time.
For a portrait of the artist as a younger man, including droll origin stories, see this interview.
During his time here, Muhly will perform in recital, teach composition seminars, give open chamber master classes, and coach all selections for the New Music Festival concerts. He also will host a public forum on composing for the dramatic stage, which will be presented before the Friday evening performance of his opera Dark Sisters at the Boston Conservatory Theater. Muhly's longtime collaborator the famed violist Nadia Sirota will join in various works alongside him in recital.
Many events are free, and the full schedule is here.
The annual festival presents a series of modern music by world-class compositional voices of this and the last centuries. A focal point of the contemporary-music scene in Boston, it has previously highlighted the works of Boulez, Schuller, Andriessen, Crumb, and Martino.
"We are proud to honor Nico Muhly's many accomplishments in contemporary music with this year's New Music Festival," said Eric Hewitt, artistic director. "Nico is an old friend, truly a visionary in the field of contemporary classical music, bringing together elements of the inherited and the experimental, and we welcome him into the classrooms and onto the stages at the Boston Conservatory with tremendous joy."
All concerts will take place at Boston Conservatory's Seully Hall except for Dark Sisters (February 9-12), and its pre-show panel, on February 10 at the Boston Conservatory Theater. Seully Hall is located at 8 Fenway in Boston, while the BoCo Theater is located at 31 Hemenway Street. Tickets are available at bostonconservatory.berklee.edu/events or by calling the box office phone, 617-912-9222 Wednesday–Friday, noon to 5pm.
I have just seen the last performance of "Dark Sisters" this Sunday 12. Feb. Last night I read the review of the first performance in NYC in 2011 and now wonder whether the work has been revised and "improved" since then (NY Times felt the work weak, etc.; I almost didn't go but the NY Times like the Globe has been wrong before). There was no information about the work, not even a synopsis, in the BosCon program. Yes, the opera as a work starts weak and I was about to console myself that at least I would never have to see it again when about midway thru the first act the story began to emerge (I think the turning point was Ruth's recounting how her two children had died) and by the end of the act I cared about how the second act would go. The second act was superb; at the end I was left moved and glad I had gone. Kudos to what seemed to be an imaginitive staging of the TV show portion of the second act; the Jerry Rivers-type host was off to the left, the five interviewed wives (the plot involves Mormon polygamy) were being filmed closed-circuit TV on the right, while behind the small orchestra in the rear the video recorded by the on-stage cameraman rolled with a several seconds delay–just like real TV; The non-Menotti Medium was captured perfectly! At the quiet ending the audience refrained from applauding for some seconds; if only the first act hadn't dragged for its first part.
I could hear more of his music. However, the program had nothing at all about him (Nico Muhly); must have recourse to the Internet where we are at the mercy of Fake News. Hats off to the composer who resisted societal pressure to bash Mormons; one could conceive how the 15-year old girl could decide to NOT follow her mother out of the cult and to accept "marriage" with a 55 year-old man; must look up who did the libretto.
This is a serious work on a serious subject, and it was well-performed and staged by the Boston Conservatory. What? No listing of it at the Opera in Boston website? Stay tuned for Otto Nicolai's Merry Wives of Windsor auf Deutsch towards the end of March.

Western history cites the ancient Greeks as the ones who discovered mathematics, philosophy, drama, poetics, natural science and medical science. Eastern civilization - particularly the Chinese, even though they were isolated from the ancient Western world, - are credited with innovative cultural discoveries in the same fundamental areas. For example, while ancient Greeks were treating brain tumors around 600 B.C. with electricity from primitively-built batteries, the Chinese were treating diseases with acupuncture and herbs. Astronomical studies in Greece, China, the northern African Egypt, and the much older Mesopotamian civilizations, produced primitive calendar systems and clocks in order to keep track of time. The Chinese outperformed the Greeks in their development and discovery of rockets and the black powder that powered it. With all that said, the unique mark of advanced civilizations are the development of transportation systems and roads. The Greeks and their mimicking Caucasoid heirs, the Romans, constructed intricate road systems for the intention to commute and establish trade. Similarly, the Chinese are credited for developing strong wall and road systems throughout the ancient East.
The great predicament in human developmental egalitarianism is what took place in Africa, where the Negroid racial stock originates from. According to paleontologists, contemporary human beings emerged from African regions. The cognitive intellectual development of those initial humans - Africans who inhabited their continent in the Mediterranean coastal regions of northern Africa (which consisted of spaces inhabited by the Carthaginians and ancient Phoenicians), as well as south of Egypt - have been thought of as far less than that of the Mongoloid and Caucasoid racial stocks. This is because the studies of the native or indigenous intellectual development, and the accomplishments that came with the sub-continental Africans, where the larger inhabitants of these black human beings lived.
Paleontologists, historians, and anthropologists all over the globe have deduced that there were no similar progressions in culture that happened anciently with the Chinese and the Greeks. Though we might think that the intelligence of the Mongoloids, from which the Chinese race originated, may have been, and may now be, far bigger than that of the Caucasoid race from which the Greeks originated, it is without question that the Negroid stock humans, from which the African people originated, didn't make any of the achievements in intellectual development that were made by other races. One of the most stark and fundamental contrasts made between the people of Eurasia and lower-Africa is that there was a total lack of roads for the intention of African commerce and communication between the native tribes until white Europeans started supplying their own money and time into the natural resources of the African regions.
There has been some speculation which has been called racist, specifically pertaining to scientists who claimed that one race of humans may have had much more cognitive ability and intellect than others. These accusations are not fair, when taking hereditary racial skills into consideration. There is no question that, over centuries, Africans have proven to possess greater genetic, physiological and athletic abilities than other races of humans. They also have greater agility, strength, and endurance than most races. Based on Dr. James Watson's standardized intelligence tests administered on black Africans in culture-fair circumstances, he theorizes that the majority of indigenous Africans aren't as fundamentally intelligent as Asian and white humans of modern civilization, and as such, has been criticized as being a bigot. This generalization isn't by any means more partial than suggesting that average Mongoloid and Caucasoid stock men are unable to play basketball as well as average men of Negroid African descent. The quick adjustment of black African-American men into basketball, American football and baseball since 1955 has pointed out that black African-American men are more physically skilled at jumping, running, carrying and catching a football, and shooting a basketball than white American men. The professional and collegiate athletic reports will completely corroborate this matter, as well as the reality that there have been more accomplished white quarterbacks in professional and collegiate football history than black African-American quarterbacks.
The logic behind this difference has been connected to the quarterback's intellect, as well as his strength, size, agility and speed. Since 1950, the professional and collegiate reports of football accomplishments have established that the speed, size, and strength of the African-American running-backs and linemen have far-surpassed the achievements and abilities of many of the white American football players in the same positions. This doesn't negate the fact that there have been some black African-American quarterbacks of prominence, but these handful of athletes are mere exceptions.
The combination of the races from the Negroid, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid racial stocks have been an ongoing experiment that has shown fluctuating outcomes. From an entirely genetic and physiological perspective, the inter-racial blend of genetic stock has indefinite conclusions. If, perhaps, a man of black African descent has relations with a woman of white European descent, it is not possible that the children of that relationship will inherit the complete genetic intellect of just the smarter sexual partner. The likelihood of the child genetically acquiring secondary-genetic intellect than the not-as-smart sexual partner is more likely in that blend, as the likelihood of the child genetically acquiring decreased-intellect than the smarter sexual partner.
The genetic odds in a case of a hybrid are opposed to the reproduction of children with higher or similar intellect than the smarter sexual partner. For instance, if two confirmed geniuses, female and male, of identical racial stock, neither of which contain any biological defects, have relations and produce a child, that boy or girl would have a 95% chance of having the identical, if not greater, genetic intellect as the one with the smarter sexual partner. If a female and male of the same race, who don't have any physical abnormalities and both contain an average intellect, reproduce a child, that child would have about an 85% chance of inheriting a better intellect than the smarter sexual partner, and a 20% likelihood of acquiring a lesser intelligence than the partner who isn't as smart.
Further, if two certified geniuses of unique races, for example, a Mongoloid woman and a Negroid man, neither of which have any physical abnormalities, produce a child, the boy or girl would have about a 90% chance of inheriting a lesser genetic intellect that the smarter sexual partner, and about a 40% chance of inheriting a lesser genetic intelligence than the partner who is less smart.
Therefore, the mixing of races through inter-racial marriage can be fulfilling in a simply emotional or visceral manner, but the likelihood of the genetic transfer of greater or similar intellect to a child through genetic combination is scientifically canceled out, as such a blend is merely a genetic experiment that will develop an unknown result, no different than cross-breeding rabbits, horses, or bovines. Is this a declaration of unproven bigotry, or a practical development of pure scientific experimentation? In the similar method that Dr. James Watson's commentary on the unsatisfactory results of intellect experiments on black African women, men, and children may be incorrectly perceived as racist foolishness for purely political intentions by non-scientific people, the scientific details regarding the genetic reproductive results of inter-racial unions and marriage, which have been proven by practical experiments, might be banished to the garbage pile of bigotry as well.
It would absolutely be joyous to learn conclusively that every human being was genetically identical in every way, but this is just not the case. Even the similarities deliberated for man in the Declaration of Independence is only equality under man's written law, and not based on intellectual or physical egalitarianism. If it were intellectual and physical balances in that document, it would have been a blatant inconsistency of reality, but Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson understood precisely what kind of equality God uniformly bestowed on mankind, and it wasn't genetic intellect. The best case scenario people can hope for are the genetic exceptions to the rule - people whose exceptional intellects came from Negroid, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid races by absolute chance, and not by natural design.
For new-age psychologists, sociologists, historians and social scientists to refer to a famed, Nobel Prize winning, molecular-biologist like Dr. James Watson as a racist because he determined a totally scientific resolution based on observational scientific testing and research, is without question as ridiculous as phrenologists were in the early 20th Century when they told medical doctors and biologists that they were stupid to believe that the foundations of the human brain weren't vital when examining a person's behavior in conjunction with the irregularities and dents on an individual's skull. After presenting an eminent scientist with a Nobel Prize for uncovering the molecular groundwork for all human cellular identity and heredity - DNA - it would be worthwhile to hear what these molecular biologists has to say about heredity, genetics, and human intelligence.

On her decision to embrace the crazy for her latest vid, The Weeknd's lady explained:
"With the way I grew up, I always felt like there was something inside of me that hadn't been accessed. I hadn't had the opportunity or confidence to find it. For so long I felt like I (wasn't able) to do something like this, not because I don't want to but because I lack that confidence."
However, it seems as though Selly G has embraced her quirks as she added:
"I have a lot of insecurities, but when I started working with you We're like sisters, but I think I'm a little bit older than you."
As for Petra, she was more than happy to push the A-lister out of her comfort zone. And, boy, are we grateful she did!
And, from what we can tell, it appears as though Gomez had a positive experience making the bizarre project. Specifically, Selena's favorite scene in the video is when she's in the suburban kitchen eating all kinds of odd things. On what it was like filming this notable scene, Justin Bieber's ex dished:
"The kitchen scene was so liberating, to lose control of my body and lose sight of myself. I felt great and I felt like tomatoes, eggs and dirt and it was amazing, but seriously? I love that. It felt so good…I remember being a little nervous, and when shit hit the wall I just lost it and left myself in that scene. It was so cool."
So fierce. Now Selena might be playing a fictional character in her video, but that doesn't mean she can't relate to the fetishes featured. In regards to the parallels between herself and the role, Taylor Swift's pal candidly relayed:
"Um, I'm not saying I've ever done something similar to the kitchen scene in real life, but I can say right now, I do weird shit all the time when I'm alone in my house… It's how I express myself!"
LOVES it. Nonetheless, Collins deserves the credit for Fetish being a success, as she was the one who lured out this manic side of Gomez. The pop star even gushed to Petra's face:
"You make me feel more confident about the choices I make, like a sister. You help me, you encourage me and validate how I feel in that moment. I wouldn't have been able to grow into the artist I am right now without you. It's like this fire-and-water, duality thing going on."
That's some seriously high praise. Well, here's hoping we'll see more of this freaky Selena in the months to come!!

Accurate Syn Hyd Oil ISO 46, 400 lb. Drum
Accurate Synthetic Hydraulic Oil, ISO 46 is a high quality, shear-stable hydraulic oil that performs well within a wide temperature window – a major benefit during cold start-up. It provides exceptional anti-wear and anti-oxidation properties, so drain intervals can often be stretched. Their air separation capability reduces foaming and maintains lubrication where small amounts of moisture are an issue.
Accurate Synthetic Hydraulic Oils are ideally suited to multi-metal system designs, also systems that use bearings and gears, and those involving heavy loads. They are ideal for high pressure (and high output) pumps, machine tools, and applications that are prone to the deposit formation. High oxidation resistance allows oil and filter intervals to be extended.

A Commitment to Experimentation and Theory
The core of the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) program is the design studio, where students develop visual literacy, learn design skills, and refine ideas through continuous, personal feedback from studio faculty and peers. The design culture of the B.Arch program is focused both on the discipline of architectural history, theory, and techniques; and on the practice of architectural building technology, innovative construction methods, and professional practice. Whether addressing conceptual challenges or pragmatic concerns, students and faculty together test the limits of design, thinking through making, and making through experimentation.
Our B.Arch program produces individuals who are savvy, broad thinking and groomed to become leaders of their profession. They emerge with sophisticated portfolios of work that make them highly competitive in the global architectural marketplace.
Educating Contemporary Architects
The vocational model of architectural education can no longer meet the challenges of contemporary architecture. Today, architects must be adroit, and prepared to articulate and defend ideas to a broad array of audiences with clarity, confidence, and perspective. At SCI-Arc, we believe this is achieved through immersion in different forms of knowledge, coupled with a keen understanding of the ways in which these fields can disrupt one another and afford new ways of seeing, making, and thinking. The goal of the B.Arch curriculum at SCI-Arc is to create students who will become the architectural leaders of our time.
An Accredited Education
SCI-Arc's (B.Arch) is consistently in the top ten accredited programs in the United States, and enjoys an international reputation for being one of the most important hubs for design, theory, and architectural culture in general. Located in the vibrant Arts District of downtown Los Angeles, SCI-Arc is a global meeting point for people and ideas driving architecture today. The B.Arch Program is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), allowing students to pursue architectural licensure for professional practice in the United States. SCI-Arc is also accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of School and Colleges (WASC).
A Design Lifestyle
Design Studio is the backbone of an architectural education. It is where students learn and practice the concepts and skills necessary to design contemporary architecture. The architectural design studios at SCI-Arc are hands-on, project-based courses with a commitment to innovation and design excellence. During studio hours, faculty meets with students individually and in groups to discuss the progression of their design project.
Conversations born in studio often continue beyond the walls of SCI-Arc, animating one of the many cafes and restaurants found throughout the thriving Arts District that SCI-Arc calls home.
"A big part of learning these softwares and new technologies has to do with the pedagogy of the school. I'm excited to see how I'll take these techniques forward later in my education and career."
SCI-Arc has more than four thousand alumni working all over the globe in a variety of professional architecture and design practices. B.Arch alumni have worked at such important practices as Gehry Partners, Morphosis, Zaha Hadid Architects, Gensler, AECOM, Skidmore Owings and Merrill, among many others

Interesting news appeared earlier today, when Takara Tomy revealed a new teaser page for Zoids. The page alludes to a new upcoming project for the franchise which has fans questioning if it's new manga series, anime, or video game as well as proper infighting on which era/anime was the best.

New type of chocolate discovered!
"New type of chocolate offers a totally new taste experience, which is not bitter, milky or sweet, but a fusion between berry-fruitiness and luscious smoothness! ". Said the spokes person of Barry Callebaut, a Swiss confectionery. Would you believe it? Chocolate generally comes in three different types: milk, white, and dark. However, a fourth new chocolate called Ruby exists officially . 80 years after the discovery of white chocolate.
This type of chocolate was discovered by Swiss confectionery Barry Callebaut. The distinct pink hue doesn't come from any added colors or ingredients. It comes from a unique source called Ruby cocoa beans. These beans provide the color along with a fruity berry flavor that no other chocolate type possesses.
Courtesy Barry Callebaut Group.
CNBC estimates that it could take six months to reach markets. This is because Barry Callebaut does not sell directly to consumers. But rather will provide its pink chocolate to manufacturers. They, in turn, will create a plethora of ruby chocolate products that we can't wait to get our hands on.
Expect this new type to make all different kinds of chocolate products, similar to what's done with white, milk, and dark chocolate today. We should expect to find pink chocolate ganaches, naturally reddish chocolate bars, and basically every other chocolate product redone in ruby fashion.

Hi Noel,
"I just wanted to send you an email to say thank you for helping us build our dream house. When we came to you we had a vision of what we wanted and you were somehow able to comprehend that vision and make it a reality. Not only do we have everything exactly the way we had hoped but you were also able to add the extra detail to make the home look better than we could have ever imagined. Both inside and out, the house is incredible. Passers-bys, neighbors and friends constantly tell us what a beautiful home we have. We have heard the term "curb-appeal" many times since we have moved in! Indoors, the home is both beautiful to look at and comfortable to live in. Now that we have lived here a while we are realizing how "user-friendly" the layout actually is. We have learned that details such as the placement of light switches, doorways, windows, etc, are very important. Thanks to your detailed plans everything is laid out just the way a person would want. We have yet to find something we wish was done differently.
Taking on a job of this magnitude is overwhelming to say the least. Our minds were set at ease by your constant support. You did a great job."
Thanks Noel! Best,
Dan Louth

The General Secretary of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia has asked members of his party to pray fervently for the running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to enable him retrace his roots and know the party he rightly belongs to.
"Dr Bawumia may be a good person but he has unfortunately found himself in the wrong party and we should all pray for him to come back to his senses and return to his party. People may not vote for him not because of his personality but the party in which he has found himself", he observed.
Mr Nketia made this known while addressing a huge crowd at the campaign launch of Inusah Fuseini in Tamale Central Constituency in the Northern Region on Sunday.
According to Mr Nketia, Dr Bawumia is being used by the NPP for its own selfish interests.
"…Very soon with the passage of time, he [Bawumia] will lose his tail, and the legs will start forming and he will see that the tilapia is not his brother.
"He will see that the pond is not his family pond so don't insult Bawumia, pray for him," General Mosquito said.
"The very NPP people he is seeking to win support for will one day turn and tell him that he is not credible and should not be trusted. I will therefore urge and reiterate that we pray for him to come back and join the party in which he was born into", he indicated.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's father Alhaji Mumuni Bawumia was the Chairman of the Council of State from 1992 to 2000 under the NDC government.

Japanese women are known for their youthful looking skin and they actually look younger than their actual age. They pay great attention to their skincare routine and strongly believe their skin will look visibly fresher, younger and firmer by regularly consuming beauty supplements. Collagen helps the skin to regenerate itself and maintain a youthful and wrinkle free skin.
I'm a strong believer in beauty supplements and collagen drink is still my favorite beauty supplement; as compared to collagen powder and pill or tablet.
Recently, I was pleased to receive two boxes of AFC Japan Tsubaki Collagen DX, and many thanks to Lifestream Group.
I must say the best tasting collagen drink I've tested so far is this AFC Japan Tsubaki Collagen DX.
Each box is packed with 10 bottles of collagen drinks.
And each box is printed with expired date.
AFC Tsubaki Collagen Drink DX is a proven high performance formula combining 10,000mg Micro-Collagen Peptides, precious 500mg Royal Jelly, Tsubaki Bio-Cell Activator, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin Bs and C to rapidly brighten up complexion and restore firm, youthful skin.
AFC Japan Tsubaki Collagen DX is said to provide five skin benefits :
The five key ingredients are :
10,000mg Micro-Collagen Peptides – it promotes skin firmness, refine pores and wrinkles. Formulated with odorless collagen technology, it is 60x smaller than normal collagen for optimum absorption in the body.
Magical Power of 500mg Royal Jelly – touted as the Youth Elixir and a highly nutritious super food used extensively to preserve youth and promote good health. Rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals, anti-ageing nucleic acids RNA & DNA and bioactive compound, 10H2DA. It brightens complexion, speeds up healing process and inncrease the production of collagen in the body.
Tsubaki Bio-Cell Activator – consists of botanical extracts from Tsubaki camellia seed, Lotus germ and Star fruit leaf. It promotes collagen production and enhances cell renewal and protection.
Hyaluronic Acid – infuses and retains moisture, plumps up skin cells from within for smooth, supple skin.
Vitamin B6, B1, B2 and Vitamin C – promotes skin metabolism for cellular renewal and collagen synthesis.
After continuing taking a bottle each day for about ten days, my skin does appear more hydrated and slightly smooth. Love the peach taste very much, really delicious! As it is formulated with collagen molecules that are 60x smaller than normal collagen, it is said to be able to get better absorption (1.5 times) by our body.
AFC Japan Tsubaki Collagen DX is now available at http://lifestreamgroup.com/tsubaki-ageless-p-470.html

With the Sea Peoples army finished (group shots tomorrow!) I've been working on some small bits. During my breaks at work, and to a small extent in the evening, I have been prepping the figures I bought at Salute. All the 15mm figures are done now, and I've started work on the 28mm figures.
The SYW Russians are all on painting sticks now, ready for priming which I will probably get done tomorrow.
These will give me 4 more regiments of line infantry (the regiments I'm missing for Zorndorf), 3 more Cossack regiments and two more artillery bases & limbers, plus one more howitzer.
Yesterday evening I got the 3 bridges painted and finished them (drybrushing and flocking) this evening. The stone work was done with a medium grey base sponge-splotched with a couple of lighter greys and then washed with a couple of different browns.
I also added some green wash around the waterline but I don't think you can see it in these pics - I'll take some better ones tomorrow.
Apart from priming the Russians, this weekend will see me carrying on with doing small bits. I'll be painting the gates for Gaslands; re-doing the King of the Battlefield templates I painted a few weeks ago - they hadn't been varnished before they were used for the Easter Monday game and the paintjob got scuffed; and I'll be testing rust techniques, mainly for working on cars for Gaslands.

Well Hello, I said normal service would resume and I realise I have fallen very behind with my cosy reviews, which is supposed to be the point of the blog – so I'll try to catch up. First up is 'Miss Marple's Final Cases' by Agatha Christie.
Agatha Christie held back this book from publication and her intention was to publish posthumously, but as she was 'running out of steam' this collection was actually published before she died. There are 9 stories in total and what is strange is that Miss Marple doesn't actually appear in two of them – I was a little disappointed by that. In addition, the stories without our intrepid sleuth are not mysteries at all but rather supernatural tales, one being about an odd doll that weirded people out and to be honest by the end of that one I wondered what point Christie was trying to make. They don't fit with the other stories and I would have preferred they had been included in a different collection, if published at all. That said, I did rather enjoy the Miss Marple stories, the pacing was good with classic simple Christie structure so they are quick, nice reads and they were solid mysteries with some nice clueing. A good purchase for Christie/Marple fans, maybe not a good idea for the more general cosy fan.
A quick aside… After my big Bones Moans post I am pleased to report that Bones has returned to Sky Living. Last week was the delightful episode where a decomposing body was found in the world's largest block of chocolate. It should have put me off choc but of course it didn't, it just made me want some, how sad is that? Speaking of chocolate I am thinking of asking Cadbury to make a gluten-free 'double decker', I miss them. Thank you youtube for the ad!

For The Love of Nature
Photo Courtesy Of Douglas Kelly
Former President Jimmy Carter once said, "Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries." Working for municipal golf courses for more than 27 years, I have found this statement to be true. But in Ann Arbor, Mich., in order to resonate with area golfers, courses have had to provide much more than a "love of nature."
Tough Times
In 2006, the city—like many around the country—was facing tough economic times. With budget cuts and a loss of tax dollars, officials and residents questioned the city's role in services outside of health, safety, and public administration. Unfortunately, parks and recreation seems to be one of the first divisions to be thoroughly analyzed; at that time, golf was the main specimen. Hundreds of questions were asked surrounding the golf courses' role within the city. Since 2000, the dreaded "death spiral" has occurred where an overabundance of courses in the area led to the decline of golfers. That decline led to the slashing of rates to try to attract more golfers. Lower revenues meant budget cuts, which led to fewer staff members, inferior maintenance practices, and aging equipment. To bring the spiral full circle, fewer staff members and unkempt courses resulted in an even greater decline in retuning customers. And down they went. However, after a year of public meetings, cost analyses, and consultants, the city's two municipal golf courses were given a reprieve.
Finding Value
In 2007, the city began to recognize the potential of courses as community assets—not only from a business point of view, but more importantly from an environmental point of view. Since these parks encompass more than 280 acres of sensitive green space and watershed outlets, a new mindset took hold that, if the city intended to be in the golf business, the city was going to do it right. A new attitude regarding the courses emerged. The "microscopes" revealed a lack of budgeted investments in the assets. The position of director of golf was created and filled. Scott Spooner, a member of Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, took over on grounds, and the city invested more than $620,000 for new turf equipment that gave staff members the necessary tools to begin its mission.
Over the next 5 years, staff members focused on several main components:
- Customer service
- Camaraderie
- Impeccable conditions
- Cleanliness
- Environment.
While the first four elements are the staples of any course's business plan, the fifth element—the environment—is a wild card. But it was this component that helped define the city's role and responsibility, which eventually led to success.
A Commitment To The Environment
The first goal of the environmental component was to disprove the stereotypical notion that "Golf is bad for the environment." Efforts began on the local level with the Michigan Turfgrass Environmental Stewardship Program (MTESP). This program organizes efforts of the turfgrass industry, state agencies, MichiganStateUniversity, and environmental advocacy groups to:
- Advance environmental stewardship by increasing the awareness and understanding of Michigan's environmental resources and the potential impact of turf management.
- Enhance fish and wildlife habitat and indigenous vegetation, and protect water resources with buffer zones on golf-course properties.
- Clearly identify environmental laws and regulations and advance the compliance of the golf turf industry.
- Engage the golf industry, regulatory agencies, and environmental citizen groups in productive communication.
- Recognize, promote, and award environmental stewardship achievements.
It took 2 years, a few site inspections, dozens of small changes, and plenty of documentation, but the city obtained certification through the MTESP.
The city also decided to pursue certification from Audubon International, which works wi th golf courses to protect the environment and preserve the natural heritage of the game. The certification is designed to help enhance the valuable natural areas and wildlife habitats that golf courses provide, enhancing efficiency and minimizing a course's potentially harmful impact on the environment. Since many of the items were similar to those of the MTESP, the programs were pursued almost simultaneously. For Audubon International certification, six goals had to be achieved:
- Environmental planning
- Chemical-use reduction and safety
- Water conservation
- Water-quality management
- Outreach and education
- Wildlife and habitat management.
A Cultural Change
The city's first course—Leslie Park Golf Course—was only the third course in the state to obtain both certifications. Both certifications were only $450 plus minor costs for miscellaneous changes needed to comply with state and federal environmental regulations. Besides all of the great publicity gained from acquiring these certifications, the city helped to increase wildlife habitat in areas that do not affect the game of golf, discover new and innovative ways to decrease water use, and maintain high water quality in ponds and streams.
Additionally, staff members took pride in earning these certifications and in seeing an increase in birds and other animals on the course.
Most people who work in the golf industry view their role as "stewards of the game." Staff members in the city's golf division have always recognized their responsibilities to the game, but now there is a larger responsibility to the land entrusted to them by the people they serve—the citizens. Having the "love of nature" that former President Carter mentions has changed the attitudes toward the golf division within the city and in the court of public opinion. Instead of a drain on resources, golf courses are now seen more as an asset to the community—both in a recreational and an environmental sense.

Am I showing too much flesh? That man just turned and looked at me again. He should be lowering his gaze. I don't want to be a cause of fitna. Here I am out with my sisters. I call them my sisters, though they are really just women related to men approved by my husband. We have been out together because it's indecent for a woman to be out of the house by herself. Some people think that even five women out together is not quite proper – we should all be accompanied by male family members. I thank God that my husband permits me to leave the house in the company of other respectable women, though I remember my grandmother saying that a truly devout woman should leave the house only twice in her life: the first time on her wedding day, and the last time when her body is taken to be buried.
I thought that I was dressed modestly. This morning, after putting on my bra and panties, I picked up a pair of thick, dark blue stockings and rolled them on to my legs. They reached above my knees, and I made sure that they wouldn't fall down by fastening garters around the tops of the stockings. Then I put on a long, dark blue skirt, which came down to just above my ankles. I bunched my hair up and gathered it together in a French pleat, and then covered my head with a tight-fitting skull cap, so that none of my hair was showing. It was then the time for me to put on my under-gloves. These fine white cotton gloves reached above my elbows. The last item of the clothes that should not be visible was a loose, long-sleeved shirt, which hung down below my knees like a Pakistani qameez. This buttoned up to the neck and had Velcro at the wrists so that I could make sure that the ends of the sleeves were tightly secured.
Now was the turn of clothes that were likely to be seen. My colour theme for the day was dark blue, so I took out of the wardrobe a full-length abaya. This garment has a hood to cover my head, long loose sleeves, and falls to the ground like a long gown. When I was shopping on-line for abayas, I noticed that they were often embroidered and decorated, but I believe that fancy garments are more likely to attract attention, so I bought nothing but plain abayas. I went for dark colours – black, charcoal grey, midnight blue and deep brown, and today it was the turn of the midnight blue abaya.
I know that many sisters would consider that, once they put on their plain, flat-soled shoes, they were dressed modestly enough to appear in public. To my mind, however, I was still virtually naked, a walking temptation and distraction to any man. I believe that a woman must cover her face, and guard her voice, when in public or in the presence of men who are not their husbands or other family. I didn't want to speak inadvertently in public, so I decided to wear a gag. Sometimes, I would simply cover my mouth with a scarf, or roll a scarf up tightly and tie it across my mouth, but today I decided that I should wear a gag. I first considered a simple ball gag – this is a rubber ball that fits inside my mouth, tied to a piece of elastic that goes round my head. But I thought that this might not be sufficient, so I picked up a heavy inflatable rubber gag. This has a leather strap to secure it round the head, and when the strap is buckled, it's even possible to lock it with a small padlock. I decided to use this gag, and to leave the key to the padlock at home, so there would be no temptation to remove the gag once I was outside.
The gag itself took some effort to fit inside my mouth. There's a rigid tube through the middle of the gag to allow for breathing and also for drinking (if I use a straw or a drinking tube). At the outside end of the gag, the rubber is moulded to allow the gag to be gripped by my teeth. Once the gag was in, I inflated it by squeezing on a rubber bulb attached to a tube running into the gag. There is a one-way valve to stop the air coming out again until I'm ready to take the gag off, and I can detach the inflation bulb when the gag's fully blown up. I buckled the strap as tightly as I could, fastened a small padlock onto the buckle to stop the gag being released, and then gave the inflation bulb a couple of extra squeezes to make sure that the gag filled my mouth as completely as possible. I was now mute, and so my voice could not be a source of fitna.
My husband permits me to leave the home, so long as I am in his company, or in the company of modest married women of good family, and he approves of my silence in public. He tells me, when we are alone together, that he likes to hear my voice from time to time, but he recently brought back a book written by a distinguished scholar who offered proofs that women's voices should never be heard. It seems that some researchers are investigating methods of temporary or even permanent voice nullification. This might involve either medication or a surgical procedure to take away a person's ability to speak, or even make any sound with the voice. I sometimes wonder what it would be like not to have the power of speech – I still think I'd like to wear a gag anyway, as a physical reminder of my silence.
Except for my shoes, I had only three more items to put on. First was my niqaab. When I married, I promised my husband that he would be the only man who would have the right to see my face. Even my father, who is close enough to be permitted to see me without my various coverings, agreed that it would be proper for me to save my face for my husband alone (what I'll do when, God willing, I have a son, I don't know yet). On my wedding day, before we left the house, he took one last look at my face and told me that the final look would have to be enough for the rest of his life. He was passing me on to my husband, and it was now up to my husband to govern who could see me and who could not. Since then, I have even preserved strict silence when in the presence of my father, who has not heard my voice since the day of my marriage.
My niqaab is dark blue, like the rest of my clothes today. I have various designs of niqaab, and the one I'm wearing today has a high upper section, with an elasticated strap that I can secure round my head. The lower part of the niqaab hangs down to cover my face and my chest. There is a gap for my eyes, and on the inside of the niqaab the eye space is covered with a very fine transparent gauze. This makes it easy for me to see out, but also for people to see in. I pinned the niqaab to the hood of my abaya to make sure that it didn't slip. I could lift the hanging part of the niqaab slightly if I needed to drink something, but otherwise it dangled down to my waist.
I was nearly ready, but one more item needed to be put on. This was my khimar. As I was already wearing a hooded abaya and a niqaab, many people would think this was modest enough, but I wanted to make sure that the shape of my body was not visible, so the khimar was the final touch. I chose a khimar that came down to my knees, so that the abaya and my underskirt would potentially be visible, and again this was a plain and simple garment in dark blue. However, my hands would be concealed under the khimar. The khimar was closed in front and came over my head. I needed to pin it to the niqaab on either side of my face to stop the khimar slipping, and I held the end of the niqaab away from my face so that I could fasten the khimar at the neck with a brooch, and then allowed the niqaab to fall outside the khimar.
I was now dressed, and I picked up a handbag with the various necessities for my walk into town with my friends. I went out to the lobby of our house, put on my shoes, and as a final touch I put on a pair of outer gloves, made of soft black leather and covering the wrists of my qameez. Lastly, because the qameez was white, I put on a pair of dark blue over-sleeves, which were elasticated at top and bottom, and could be pulled up as high as the tops of my arms. Looking in the mirror in the lobby, I could see my eyes, but the rest of me was covered with at least two and in some cases four layers of clothes.
I didn't have to wait long for my friends to arrive. We all lived in the same street, and our husbands knew each other well. As always, we were all silenced, so we could only bow to each other in greeting. I recognised, from their general shape and their clothes, the two wives of Abdal-Razzaq bin Ali, and then Mrs Qureshi, and her daughter bint Faisal. By the way, I should mention that, although we all have personal names, we don't use these in public. We believe that a woman is her father's daughter, her husband's wife and her son's mother. It's getting increasingly common for girls not to be given names at all, and they are just known as the daughter of their father until they marry. I've noticed over the last few months that my husband has stopped using my given name, and just calls me "wife". He's also shown me something that he had downloaded from the internet that argues that it is sinful for women to express a personality, which is reserved for men. The document gave a long list of behaviour that could be interpreted as expressing a personality, including using a name of your own, rather than being named by reference to a man.
Mrs Abdal-Razzaq senior was the oldest of us, and she was used to taking the lead. She and her co-wife were wearing layered niqaabs. These had two outer layers of a gauzy fabric that could be thrown back over the head or allowed to hang down over the eyes. I wished now that I'd worn one of my layered niqaabs, because they allow for greater modesty. Not only is it more difficult for other people to see your eyes, but with the first layer, and even more so with the second layer, it's hard for the wearer to make out more than blurred shapes. So when you have both layers down, there's less chance of seeing something that would excite or tempt you, like a good-looking man. It's also true that men respect the modesty of women to a greater extent the more we cover ourselves.
Anyway, it was too late for me to go back and change, so I joined the other women and we began to walk slowly towards the public library. This is a fairly modern and airy building with a lot of glass and polished stone, located in the main square. We like to go to the library in the mornings because it's reserved strictly for women until 3PM, and there's always a police officer outside making sure that men don't go in until their time comes round. The library has a café where respectable women can drink (and even eat if they are not wearing a gag or are able to remove their gag). What we really like about the library café is that at each table there are some electronic communicators. We can type things in and read on the screen what we are "saying". Before we can start our conversation, we have to log in. The system keeps a record of all conversations, and our husbands or guardians are notified that we have been using communicators. If they want, our guardians can read our conversations. Although the two Abdal-Razzaq wives and Mrs Qureshi logged on, as did I, bint Faisal just sat still. When the system loaded up and we could start our conversation, Mrs Qureshi explained.
"My husband discovered that daughter had been looking at inappropriate web sites, so as a punishment she is not permitted to use the internet or any communication device for the next month. Also . . ." and at this point she lifted up bint Faisal's khimar and opened her abaya, "daughter is not permitted to use her hands in public."
We saw that bint Faisal was not wearing gloves with separate fingers but rather her hands were covered with black plastic spheres. Inside, her hands must have been in fists, and she could certainly not pick anything up or type on a keyboard. To add extra security, bint Faisal was wearing a thick leather belt round her waist, which had been padlocked, and the spherical gloves, which had convenient rings attached, were also locked to rings on the belt. So bint Faisal could not move her hands at all. By the way, I've heard that many women nowadays have their hands restrained in various ways. Bint Faisal was restrained rather severely, (though at least her father hadn't confined her to the house, and was still allowing her to go outside. Some women have their hands fastened to belts by short chains, which allow them some movement, but means that they can't raise their arms or use their hands for visible gestures that could tempt men who happen to be watching.
We chatted on for some time, and then decided to order drinks. On each table, there was an order pad and a pencil, and we filled this in and then pressed a button to summon a waitress. She soon returned with five bottles of soft drinks. Mrs Qureshi had to hold bint Faisal's drink up to her mouth, but the rest of us could sip our drinks discreetly through straws while we held the bottles underneath our niqaabs. When it came time to pay, Mrs Abdal-Razzaq senior typed into her communicator that she would settle the bill. She took a debit card out of her handbag – the card was in the name of her husband, and the maximum amount that she could charge to the card was limited. Some banks' debit cards are designed so that when they are used by a woman, the account holder is contacted electronically and has to give his agreement to the expenditure, but this card could be used by Mrs Abdal-Razzaq for any spending up to a particular limit. We used the communicators to thank Mrs Abdal-Razzaq for her generosity, logged off the communication system, and left the library.
And now, as we go down the steps of the library, I'm confused and unsettled. There's a man staring at us – no, staring at me! Doesn't he know that he should lower his gaze and move away? Does he want to be tempted into sinful thoughts? Will I distract him from his devotion? He looks normal enough – he's dressed, like so many men, in a simple white thobe, sandals, and a kufi skull cap, and he has the beard of the devout believer. I heard once that a great shaykh, who normally looked only at the ground when he knew that women were near, accidentally happened to look at the eyes of a woman outside his place of worship, and for three weeks he was unable to pray because this single glance had created improper thoughts. If this could happen to one of the best of men, then I could easily be the cause of this man's fall into sin.
Ah! What a relief! He's turned away. Well, I've learnt an important lesson today. A woman can't be too modest in public. When I get home and my husband returns from work, I'm going to ask if we can surf the internet shops and see what's available so that, next time I go out, I won't be such a walking temptation. Should I ask my husband to find some new, more conservative, friends, whose wives dress even more modestly than the Abdal-Razzaq wives? There are many women who would regard me, veiled as I am, as utterly indecent and unrestrained, and I feel indecent myself. So maybe it's time to pay attention to the teachers who say that the ideal woman is one who is still, silent, and suppresses all personality, so that she cannot lead any man astray but serves her husband in perfect modesty. Can I be the ideal woman? At least I can try.

The peacock with their beautiful blue feathers has always been one of my favorite birds. You also find pretty blues at

Posted by LV at 2:30 AM
Labels: Blue Monday
Peacocks are beautiful. I have a wall hanging I painted. The details were so small I painted the feathers with a toothpick. Have a nice Monday.
nice peacock
I agree, the peacock is a very beautiful bird. I love it when they fan their tail feathers out. So pretty. You have a great day, hugs, Edna B.
Yes the Peacock is a proud bird with lots of blue color. Hope you had a great Easter.
Dearest LV.,
Yes it still was a blue Monday for me and will be for a while. Nothing broken according to the x-rays but painful and slow to heal. But I did graduate from 2 crutches to just 1.
Sending you hugs,
That bird!

This morning is another weigh-in Friday. I'm now down to 274 lbs. This gives me a total loss of 110 lbs. on program (150 lbs. from my beginning weight). This loss is 67% of my original goal of 220 lbs. This brings me to some other research from this week and some changes to my goal.
I have always been large. I don't mean fat. I mean large build. In 8th grade I went over 6 feet tall and weighed 210 lbs. While fat was a problem that I had to watch, I had enough musculature to throw off the traditional BMI chart. Being told to shoot for 198 lbs. makes me laugh. Now, don't take this as my saying to ignore the BMI chart. For many builds it is quite accurate and from what I've heard it is more accurate for women than for men. However, for anyone with a large amount of muscle the chart will be unrealistic. For those with very little muscle, the chart may show you at an acceptable weight, but you could still have enough actual body fat to be unhealthy.
This week I've done some experimenting. Mostly, it was to figure out my final goal to shoot for. I started out by simply choosing to shoot for 220 lbs. or so. The intention was always to get down close and then fine tune that figure once it was easier to make proper measurements. I downloaded an app to calculate body fat with various methods. First, I did a standard military tape test. This is the test used in the military to calculate body fat for anyone over the mandated weight charts. I spent eight years in the Army and always had to be "taped." One time the First Sergeant screamed, "Cluck! You're fat! You're only supposed to weight 198 lbs." I responded, "Then you should have recruited me in seventh grade!" He was not amused. I passed the tape and laughed as Top walked off grumbling. Funny thing is the tape method used in the military is extremely inaccurate. After running the military tape test, I purchased some body fat calipers and did a proper "pinch test." Then, this morning, I used a more advanced tape test method (reportedly accurate within 2%). The military tape test showed one set of results. The other two methods had almost identical results to each other—less than 1% difference between them—and both were very different from the military method.
The main interest for me was not my present fat percentage. This number is of little value. It is little more than asking, "How fat am I?" Well a simple look in the mirror could pretty well tell me that. What I wanted to know was my lean weight. When testing for body fat, you get both a percentage of fat, but also get a lean body weight—muscle, bones, organs, etc. With this number you can simply calculate a target weight by adding the desired fat percentage. I figured I would select the fitness level of body fat and shoot for 15%. I selected this because for men this level is not the lowest possible, but the recommended amount for someone who is physically fit. Women should shoot for a higher level, because most professionals recommend 15% as the minimum body fat for women (other than competition body builders). The female body needs a higher fat percentage for hormonal requirements.
When I took the military tape measurements, it showed 198 lbs. of lean mass. Interesting, this is the exact weight the BMI chart tells me I should be. This means to make the chart, I would have to have zero percent body fat. In other words, I'd have to be dead! With this, however, I can calculate 15% body fat would bring me to a goal weight of 227 lbs. (198 * 1.15). This is pretty close to my original goal, and fortunately does not require death to attain.
Of course, the military tape is probably little better than a guess—when compared to other methods. I wanted to double check. A lot of careers have been ruined by the military insistence on inaccuracy. I purchased a set of calipers and did a Jackson & Pollock 4-site pinch test. This showed me to have 210 lbs. of lean mass. So I would have to lose 12 lbs. of muscle and all of my fat to make the BMI chart—"No!" Fifteen percent body fat would make my weight goal 241 lbs. Ok. So this is a big difference. I needed something else to back it up.
I found another tape measurement system online. It claims to be accurate within 2 percentage points. I did the test and it showed me as having 22.6% body fat. This means I am somewhere between 20.6 and 24.6 %. It gives me a lean mass of 211 lbs. (notice this is within a pound of the caliper test). This would give me a goal weight of 242 lbs.
The first method shows me that my original goal was not quite right, and that the BMI chart is not even close for me. The two latter methods, both being considered far more accurate, being in such close agreement gives me confidence in them. Because of this, I have changed my goal weight from 220 lbs. to 240 lbs. I'm not doing this because it is an easier goal to attain, but because looking at the numbers it appears to be a more realistic weight for my body. Assuming the latter two to be accurate, 210 lbs. of lean mass would require 5% body fat to reach 220 lbs.—a fat percentage sought by cut and defined body builders. That goal is unreal for me. I am shooting for health, not trophies.
This doesn't end it. I plan to get tested by other methods. I at least want to use the electrical resistance method. It is considered accurate since fat has a different resistance to current than tissue. We'll see if that changes me back to a lower figure or helps to refine my goal in other ways.
Measuring body fat to know your percentage isn't very helpful. However, to set a proper goal you have to know what you are building on. It helps to know where zero is. Then you can shoot for optimal weight based on this knowledge. Do you have to do all this? No. For many the BMI chart is the best tool. For others it is unrealistic. Don't just reject it because you don't like the number, though. Check into it. Make sure you are basing your goals on reality and not simply on preference, or bad information.

Scrappy draw for the Rams
ALREADY struggling with debilitating mid-season staff shortages, the Apex Digital Byron Bay Rams went into last Saturday's home matches against Alstonville a further five players down.
A 2-1 win sees the Reserves draw level with Villa in second spot on the table, just three points adrift of leaders Richmond Rovers.
There was no such luck for the Byron top squad, with the Rams narrowly avoiding their fourth straight loss with a hard fought 1-1 draw.
Byron's stalwart centre back, James Tomlinson returned to striker's duties and opened the scoring for the Rams just three minutes in.
When his high-flying header was knocked backed to him by the pressured Villa keeper, Tommo calmly turned and poked it back into the net.
That was, unfortunately, the last movement on the scoreboard for the Rams.
Despite dominating the scrappy Villa boys for most of the match, Byron couldn't capitalise on its many opportunities and remained just one goal up until midway through the second session.
It was Alstonville who finally managed to find the net, equalising on the counter attack. As the game ground on to the final whistle, tempers wore thin and there was little joy for either side.
Despite the recent slump, Byron remains in third spot on the table going into this Saturday's return clash with Bangalow at home at the Rec Grounds.
Reserves start the proceedings at 1pm and the Prems kick off at 3pm.
