I am Anthony Tomkins. I have called Idaho my home my whole life. I love the freedoms we have here and have decided to raise a family in the Magic Valley. I currently work as a copier technician, but I have worked on the farm, worked as an industrial mechanic, and have worked in a couple different fields in the Information Technology industry. I have also served in the U.S. Army Reserves since 2006. I decided to run for the U.S. House between the Christmas and New Years Holidays. I was anticipating the announcement of someone to challenge our current Representative for the last half of 2015. There were a couple of names, but it didn't ever seem to pan out. I became frustrated and discouraged that no one would attempt to run. It was then that the idea came to me that if I wanted something to be done, I should get up and do it myself. So far, it has been an interesting process. I haven't had a mentor or support from someone who 'knows it all,' but have had to discover much of the information on my own. That is not to say that I do not have help. Many of my friends are supporting me and even a few folks that I have just recently met have been helpful. I feel that any government should exist to defend the rights of their people. I feel the American Government has the great role of leading the world in defending the rights of its people, the Americans. I am all in on challenging those who would rather benefit themselves over representing the people that gave them the power they have. My only friends that I have who have any great power over anything, is the God that I worship and His son Jesus Christ. I am a friend of the people of Idaho, not the people of Washington D.C., not a friend of special interests or lobbyists. I will fight for freedom and nothing else. Thank you.

Information About Cash It Now Inc From Around The Web
It is often a good idea to shop locally for individual financial services when you really have an urgent financial need. Depending where you are located, services can range from simple check cashing services to short term loan products such as pay day loans, also referred to as cash advances . Contact the business listed above to see what financial services are available in your city. Some may additionally offer loan options that are installment, letting you pay your loan back to get a set time frame, to larger loans such as personal loans, which afford a wider array of lending bundles in terms of loan quantity and interest levels, depending on your own own credit score.
Before applying for internet payday loans, you should always investigate other options. If there is an emergency or unanticipated statement, attempt to stretch your financing. In the event you can't pay a bill, get in touch with your lender and make an effort to make a payment arrangement. If your need for cash takes a loan for a period that is longer, submit an application for an alternate peer to peer or traditional loan. For those who have security, you can put up property to ensure a low-interest bank loan. Simple loans might seem like the best alternative to get you through a tight financial circumstances if you are refused resources from a traditional lending source you need temporary income until the following paycheck or since your credit credibility is shot. Taking out an advance on your next pay check from a money lender may be your only alternative if you do not have a charge card or money in a savings account to cover the cost of a car repair or catching up on your electricity bill before services are shut off.
Applying for fast loans on the internet is a good option when sudden emergencies arise or the sum needed is not worth for starting another account, the ding to your credit score. You also avoid the hassle of needing to assemble all your financial records, submit a lengthy application and meet with the bank's loan officer to sign packages of paperwork. In case your credit is great enough, you might be eligible for a higher limit with a fresh account or a present credit card company with another lender which allows you to combine all of your debt into one payment. As the consolidation is processed between both businesses, which puts cash in your pocket forthwith you generally get to jump the next payment. When the following payment is due, you may likely be paying less overall than you were for the individual minimum payments of the debts that are different. Many sources of private credit, including bad credit personal loans, have a high annual percentage rate, particularly when origination fees are contained in the annualized rate. Many personal loans online additionally have comparatively brief durations, often as little as three months. Rolling them around can prove costly, although it may be possible to refinance these kinds of loans.

Today was payday and what better way to blow a few bucks than winning a few GotG goodies. Groot and the gang were tough to catch yet I still managed to wrangle a set.
These particular crane games make it tough to grab your prize, it took me several tries to land just a single one. The arm of the crane would pick it up and then drop it, again and again. I had to have the staff re-position them several times and even then they were elusive. After a couple of dozen tries, I landed my full set!
I've placed these guys on my dashboard in such a way so they won't block my view while driving. It is the first pimping of my ride to date.
Btw, the GotG gang are featured in a twitter campaign and the top prize is this dancing Groot. Alas, I have never tweeted nor twittered and have no desire to start doing so thus this prize shall remain unsought.
The above guys were difficult to wrangle though another crane game places older prizes in a single bin and the arms on this game are programmed to actually pick up the desired item. It costs 200 yen per attempt but I usually grab my quarry in a single try. This is what I landed today.
A cushy Chupacabra pillow. (Click that link or this one for more examples of Chupacabra.)
I also grabbed two Fantastic Beasts mufflers (I asked two different staff to position the prizes, I didn't want to appear greedy).
I was going to give them away as presents yet this is rather cozy so I think I'll keep it.
Speaking of Fantastic Beasts, I acquired this platypus-like Niffler several weeks ago. She even has a little pouch in front.
Last week was a first for me. I landed two prizes in one shot. I don't really want the dog but I did desire the Stay Puft Man.
Since I was on a roll, I decided to grab this giant Daruma ball as well.
I won this Spidey and IronMan a while ago and I see that there are a few more in one of the more difficult bins. I'll wait until they land in this easy bin and grab them for friends.
Now that Guardians release is on the horizon, I'm hoping there'll be lots more prizes for me to win!
Here's an extended preview for your purview.

When Home, Bergdahl Will Have Some Explaining to Do
While it must be a great feeling for his family to know that he is finally coming home after five years in captivity, when he does get back to the states and Army personnel get a chance to talk to him, questions must be asked and he must provide the answers to them.
First up, how the hell was he caught in the first place? It has been long reported and thought that then PFC Bergdahl may have walked off the base on his own, for an unknown reason. Maybe he wanted to hitchhike home, or perhaps he was tricked into leaving by a local national. Who knows? Bowe knows, and he must thoroughly explain how he left.
Did he tell his captors anything, and if so, what? Taliban personnel cut the heads off their own people, so, what was so special about him? Sure, Bergdahl is an American, and to the Taliban that is worth something, however, was he really worth toting around for five years, hiding and feeding him, if Bowe himself wasn't "feeding" them anything? Who knows? Bergdahl's higher-ups should soon.
With whom does his allegiance lie with now? Sorry, but it has to be asked. Since yesterday several of my military friends have brought up the HBO show "Homeland" and how his release reminds them of the show. Apparently on the show a Marine was captured, then released eight years later, only to find that he is now a terrorist and he tries to kill our vice president. #spoileralert. The Army needs to know what effect five years of captivity had on him. We must not have any more Nidal Hasan type events occurring on our bases.
Who did we release to get him back? Hopefully no one we will see on the nightly news in the future concerning a terrorist attack against us.
The unfortunate thing about all this is that while these questions should be asked, whether or not they actually are asked is a different story because unfortunately, these questions aren't "politically correct." Well, sorry, but I don't care. I was deployed to Iraq when Bergdahl was taken by the Taliban and after seeing in the news that he may walked off on his own, I have always lacked pity for him.
If then PFC Bergdahl truly did walk off his base on his own he needs to be held accountable through a court martial, and if found guilty, sentenced to time in a military prison for desertion and knocked down to the Army's lowest rank.
Think that is harsh, well, how many millions of US dollars do you think have been spent on recovering Bergdahl? Were any US military personnel killed in missions to find him? If he did desert, were their deaths, or the money spent, really worth getting him back? I know I wouldn't trade the lives of any of my Marine friends for someone who deserted.
So, there you have it, my thoughts on the release of SGT Bowe Bergdahl. I really hope he was captured kicking and screaming and had to be silenced somehow to get him off his base, and if that was how it happened, I will admit I am wrong. There is probably a 110% chance he is going to get a book deal and a movie, (I am thinking a Lifetime made for TV movie), deal out of this. Hopefully, these deals won't be going to a deserter.
6 comments:
And who are you to ask these things of him? I'm sure he is being railed with these questions already buy our higher ups. We will soon find out all the gritty details and I'm sure that what ever happened our news hear in the states will lie about it. But what ever happened I really don't think you have the right to grill him about it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Dear HT1,Delete
If you are going to write a comment and question who we are, and our right to ask questions, (if you really don't know what gives us the right, check out our First Amendment), at least use proper grammar. You are sure he is already being asked these questions "buy" our higher ups? Come on bro, we don't have to be participants in this year's spelling bee championship to know you used the improper form of "by."
If spelling is not your strong point, perhaps it's reading? Hmm, most likely not, for, if it were, you would have noticed in the second paragraph that I wrote the following: "...when he does get back to the states and Army personnel get a chance to talk to him..." Therefore, I am just saying that off the top of my head, I hope someone asks him these questions. I am not asking him shit.
Oh, snap...I just reread your comment and noticed you also used the incorrect form of "here," when you wrote, "hear in the states." Dude, seriously, you are killing me...here.
Finally, to reiterate why I, or anyone else have a right to ask questions about this, or anything, it is because I have questions that I would love to get answered, and I am afraid someone might be called a hero, solely because he was a POW, when there is the possibility he deserted his post in the first place.

Dear Hal,Delete
We see your second attempt at a comment was more successful than your first, and we congratulate you on that. Rob Faust and I are not grammar Nazis, and quite frankly do not care if someone does not know which form of "their," "there," or "they're" to use, however; if someone makes a comment on one of our articles and tries to throw in what they consider to be witty insults, while at the same time destroying the English language, we will most definitely point out their mistakes.

There were several soldiers killed while looking for him. Family men who left kids behind. Before I knew the circumstances, I posted on fb, askin folks to write Congress. I was contacted by a commander's wife, who advised me that supporting him could hurt my husband's career in the Army. Thats all I needed to know to realize that he insn't a hero.ReplyDelete

After reviewing the overall project vision with a focus group of industry experts and compiling the features and elements that should be included in the ultimate mountain retreat, Resorts West selected Utah architect Michael Upwall to design the Dream Home. Michael's unparalleled reputation in mountain architecture and his personal understanding of the skiing culture made him the perfect partner to embark upon the design of the exclusive project.
"Resorts West took extreme measures to consult reservations people, housekeeping staff, realtors and property management professionals ensure this home included all of the amenities any skier could possibly want," he told SKI Magazine in a 2007 interview. "They conceptualized the home first. My crew takes the next step in the birthing process – getting dreams and desires down on paper."
Upwall's love of skiing and talent for creating custom homes kept the imaginative ideas that fueled the Dream Home's unique character alive as they transformed to reality on the slopes of Deer Valley Resort. Calling Resorts West the "brainstrust" of the project, Upwall worked closely with CEO Joseph Ballstaedt to make sure he considered each suggestion provided by the committee of experts.
Upwall and his associates firmly believe in architecture as a full-scale art form.
"It's high art, to create a full-scale, three-dimensional sculpture that fits seamlessly into the landscape, that can withstand the extreme conditions imposed by nature, and that can still include all the particular wishes and dreams for each individual family," Upwall has said. He also acknowledges his responsibility as an architect for protecting the environment. "While we can never recreate what's there to begin with, we can make every effort to leave behind something that feels natural, something that belongs."
He proves that philosophy true with the Dream Home's deceptive size, subtle skyline and mountain-inspired exterior, allowing the unique ski home to blend seamlessly with the slopes of Deer Valley.
Stay at 159 Woodside Ave. within walking distance of Main Street for stunning views and no need to find parking! Although it's easy to feel the post-winter blues once the ski season ends in Park City, the silver lining of a gloriously temperate summer is always just around the corner — one filled with live concerts, [...] - See more

Building A Wardrobe: Purchasing the pieces
A while ago I wrote a blog about one of my most asked questions: how did I get sponsored/gifted so many pieces that are in my wardrobe right now? Today I want to talk about another great way to build a wardrobe - which seems pretty obvious at first but has some really interesting points I want to touch - : Purchasing pieces.
While this seems pretty obvious to me; I do feel there is still a lot of ... misconception about it. Building a wardrobe isn't cheap and while you can do it cheap; I want to point out that cheap isn't always the long-term solution. Both for you (and your (future) business) but also for the world as a whole. I'm going pretty deep into this down below this blogpost. First some storytime:
Purchasing pieces: How & where do you start (or did I start)?
I've been collecting (hoarding) costumes since I was a kid and once I went to Antwerp in 2008 it kinda escalated from there. I started crafting my own costumes from cheap options I found in Zeeman or Wibra or I thrifted second hand online (facebook, second hand shops) and in real life. I also picked up some OC (original character) cosplaying vibes and tribal bellydance. So obviously: I needed more costumes. Everywhere I went, I was on the lookout for pieces. I also bought a lot from Ebay as it was a cheap option (with my student budget). I also got the occassional piece as a gift and I bought more from friends and online sales.
Right now I also purchase a lot of pieces from actual stores (Think Twice in Belgium most of all for example), but also a lot of handmade from designers all over the world. Be it directly from their stores or through online sales. I also have some (online) addresses I check regularly for new designs they're selling (again, second hand stores). Sometimes designers also contact me and offer me prototypes or pieces before they sell it online (easier for them, fun for me!). I'm also still hunting down everywhere I go for original looking pieces and if you take some patience with it and keep an open mind: it can go pretty fast. Now there is this more delicate topic I want to delve into:
Why would you do this? Let me tell you: I purchase handmade because I cannot demand or justifice my prices if I'm not willing to fully value and understand the prices my fellow independent business ask for their work (and pay for it without asking for a discount or deal). You cannot make an excuse for this: if you want to get paid for your craft, you must be willing to pay for the craft of others as well. It's that simple. Don't be a hypocrite. And also: buying handmade is great for the economic (because you're literally paying someone their salary. Salaries are cool! We all like a salary at the end of the month). And believe me: we all love that *ping* when a sale has made so you get good karma above it too! Making people happy is really awesome to do.
Another reason is that I want to raise my prices by september 2018 and I want the value of my service to reflect what I offer: a high quality, unique, almost entirely ethically sourced and impressive one-of-a-kind wardrobe. You can't get that with ebay and h&m.
Now beside all that: building a wardrobe & the purchasing part is a really time-consuming project. Unless you're blessed by a great wallet full of coin to spend. A lot of us start from scratch and it can be frustrating at times. Please don't be disappointed: keep your eyes open, save up, take the time to go out & check shops once every two weeks for pieces. Become part of selling groups online on facebook, scout depop, go to markets, ask around if people want to get rid of things ... there are so many ways to purchase a wardrobe without breaking the bank too much and without supporting the fash fashion industry. Its also incredibly worth it to save up for special pieces (birthday money anyone?).
It's also important for me to mention: if you want to make this your business or you're in business. It's a necessary, evil investment. As much as your camera and your lights. Don't skimp on it. Value what you do as much as you value your photoshop. Because it will allow you to understand your own services even better and how (potential) clients will aproach it.
Good luck & most of all: have fun with it! Over & Out!
Why do I avoid as much as possible to buy from chain stores and/or websites like ebay or wish?
I'm a person that feels pretty dedicated to ensuring an life as ethical as possible as a non-vegan/vegetarian, non-activist, regular 27 year old (I cannot be more mediocre in my lifestyle. I do eat like 85/90% veggie though). I try to make my impact on the world in an as less-negative way as possible without either being hypocrite or blind for one thing and promoting the other (which is easier said then done; but I try to get my intentions as good as possible while learning as much as I can. I think educating yourself is the best way to learn & I'm not here to preach about it outside this blog either). This affected my business in such a way I'm moving more and more away (almost entirely, unless necessary) from the fast fashion industry .
Its great to buy pieces for a few bucks but I don't feel creating a wardrobe that is made by underpaid workers, often underage, working in harsh working conditions with crazy hours. With an industry that is polluting the world as we know it and contributing to this decay that is so widespread. I did (and sometimes still do purchase) pieces from chain stores like H&M . But I avoid shops where clothing is suspiciously low (like Primark). This is a very personal decision I made and one that is also greatly affecting my wallet but I feel this is one I do want to address. While I won't shoot you if you do - I did it in the past too, out of simply not knowing yet & because I had a shoestring budget - I want to simply share my opinions and I hope it might inspire you to do the same from now on or once you have this opportunity (even if it's just an occassional piece). I think intentions and actions speak louder when made from a personal zone instead of being pushed by an activist that is demanding either one or the other. This is incredibly personal to write for me but I do feel this is incredibly important to mention. Beside something I'm honestly really dedicated too: buy handmade from independent designers.

An Anthony Award-nominated website on all things mystery.
Got Suspense?
What is the strangest thing you were ever asked to research?
The methods used to ejaculate a bull. (Mr. Paradise.)
Ever gotten into a sticky situation doing in-person research?
Elmore Leonard would often be influenced by real people, one of whom you brought to his attention (Karen Sisco, who was inspired by a federal marshal standing outside a Fort Lauderdale courthouse with a shotgun). What about this image inspired him?
You're joking, right? A dame with a rod is always inspiring.
What did you look for?
High contrast, always.
Did you ever have to research regional dialect and slang, or compile lexicons for characters?
"Fuck, you say." No. You must not have read Elmore's Ten Rules of Writing. #7 "Use regional dialect, patois, sparingly." Nobody told Elmore how his characters talked, certainly not me. Character was a big part of his genius.
Leonard's greatest influences were Hemingway and Bissell - if you could only choose one work from each author for a neophyte, which would you recommend?
For Whom the Bell Tolls and High Water.
What's your favorite of his work? Why?
Unknown Man #89. The bad guy, Raymond Gidre shot out windows on Main Street in Rochester, Michigan where I lived when I was in college. I narrowly missed getting hit.
What's coming next for you?
A greeter's job at Walmart or becoming a Hollywood producer.
COMMENT ON THE INTERVIEW by using the Comments box further down on this page, or on our Facebook page and be entered to win a copy of ELMORE LEONARD: Four Novels of the 1970s! (U.S. entrants only, please.)
Book he wishes he could read again for the first time: Fifty-Two Pickup.
What he's reading now: Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say Fuck by Amy Alkon.
Book or eReader? Both.
Favorite online resource: Nexis.
Favorite independent bookstore: John King Books, Detroit.
If he could have a drink with any author: Amy Alkon.
If he could invite four people to a dinner party: Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt. After we carved up Poland, we'd play canasta for five.

On the Egyptian Revolution
Egypt's Ambassador to Lebanon Mohamed Tawfik gives an overview of the Egyptian revolution to LAU summer course in political science.
According to participants, such workshops offer a different perspective about the current events in the region.
Click on photo above for larger version.
As part of the Political Science and International Affairs' two-week intensive course on Middle Eastern politics and the Arab Spring, Egypt's Ambassador to Lebanon Mohamed Tawfik gave a talk about the Egyptian revolution and the factors that gave rise to it.
Under the title "Middle East Politics and World Affairs," the course focuses on the current rise of popular protest movements and collapse of several autocratic regimes in the MENA region, as well as the underlying context.
The intensive course lasted from June 11 to June 22, and was jointly delivered by Dr. Imad Salamey, associate professor of political science and international affairs, and Dr. Tamirace Fakhoury, assistant professor of political sciences and international affairs.
"The Egyptian revolution happened very quickly and very suddenly, but the causes of it had been building up for decades," said Tawfik.
Corruption, nepotism, and concentration of political power in the country had grown ever more deeply entrenched, Tawfik explained. President Hosni Mubarak's rule had lasted 30 years, and on the eve of revolution he was grooming his son to succeed him.
"This became an unbearable situation for most Egyptians, especially the young, who felt that they could not see any light at the end of the tunnel," he added.
On the economic front, endemic poverty and unemployment — the majority of Cairo's population was now living in slums — exacerbated the situation. Poverty on this massive scale was unheard of in the Egypt of 40 years ago.
The situation culminated in the social-media-mediated revolution, noted Tawfik.
As a result, thousands of people marched toward Tahrir Square, which became an iconic spectacle, a synecdoche for citizen revolution worldwide, with activists engaged in everything from distributing free food to sweeping the sidewalk and maintaining order.
"This is what the future of Egypt should look like; this is how the Egyptians want it to be," said Tawfik.
Tawfik's speech also tackled Egypt's current presidential elections, the results of which had yet to be announced.
Khalil Fayad, an International Affairs Master's student at LAU, was grateful for the lecture's multifaceted overview and critical analysis of the Egyptian revolution.
"We tend to underestimate the role of democracy, but the Egyptian people have a different level of appreciation for it," Fayad says. "They care deeply about maintaining stability and achieving economic growth without jeopardizing their newfound freedoms."
The Egyptian revolution appears to many to be unraveling, but it isn't over, Salamey stressed. Its dénouement will shape the future of Egypt and have huge implications for the entire region.
"It's important for us — from an academic perspective — to examine Egypt's revolution, as well as others taking place in the MENA region, in order to get a clearer understanding of their causes and consequences," he says.
Other prominent guest speakers who have lectured as part of the course include Chief of Political Affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon Danielle Garbe, Deputy Director of the Institute of U.S. and Canadian Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences Dr. Victor Kremenyuk, and Dr. Mark Farha, assistant professor of political science at Georgetown's School of Foreign Service in Doha.
Another international affairs student Manar Fleifel who has attended previous similar workshops says: "These workshops give us a different perspective - whether it's from a political, social, gender-related, religious, or even technological standpoint - about the current issues in the region."

72 Hour Fast – My Experience
After many months of waiting to try a 72 hour fast, this week I finally got the chance to push my body to a new limit that it has never reached before. Unable to attempt an extended fast previously as i was breastfeeding my daughter, i made the decision to wait until feeding had finished, in case it affected milk production.
Listening to a series of podcasts that discussed the therapeutic benefits of cycling periods of extended fasting into a ketogenic lifestyle made me curious – a few days of no food (72 hour fast) could help to reset my immune system with the potential to purge the body of precancerous cells. For me, it was a complete no brainer. I was excited to give it a try!
My husband has done two 3 day fasts, allowing me to witness first hand the experience from start to finish. I saw the ups and downs and it gave me a valuable insight into what I was about to put my body and mind through – enabling me to mentally prepare for the challenges ahead – crucially enabling me to stay focused once the fast had begun. I adapted his learnings and experiences to make my own fasting journey as comfortable as possible. The 3 key pointers being:
- Salt – I drank a glass of salted water each day to help prevent headaches and replace the salts that my body was rapidly losing. It certainly did the trick!
- Multivitamin – I took a daily multivitamin to ensure my body was still getting the vital nutrients it needed whilst I wasn't consuming food.
- I drank plenty of water to keep hydrated, prevent headaches and fight off hunger pangs.
Day 1
I ate my last meal on Sunday evening. Being a creature of habit, I found it tough at first to break my daily intermittent fasting routine. I look forward to delicious keto meals and enjoy experimenting with new flavours and recipes. This usually keeps me focused: a yummy meal twice a day to look forward to normally prevents me from being controlled by my inner 'hungry ant'. Now this was gone I had a daunting wait of 3 days to endure rather than 18 hours! I remained focused and positive, shaking off the negative thoughts and pushed through the hunger pangs!
Keeping my mind occupied was the best distraction tool ever, especially around meal times when my stomach was expecting to be fed. Drinking plenty of water at the onset of a hunger pang helped to dampen them and settle my belly monster!
The most noticeable shift in my body was how cold i felt! By the late afternoon of day 1 I was shivering. i slept in my pyjamas, a pair of thick socks and a very thick knitted woolly jumper! The coldness never subsided and throughout the whole 3 days, I felt cold to the bone. It was particularly noticeable at night time when whilst i lay still and was settling to sleep – it was very difficult to drift off on day 1!
Day 2
Day 2 started really positively. I awoke with heaps of energy and bounced downstairs to make my family breakfast. No groggy feeling, I just felt really alert and on the ball! So full of energy in fact that I decided to do a brutal HIIT workout that morning. I had so much energy it actually really surprised me! I didn't struggle to push myself during the workout, in fact i found myself to be 'in the zone' much quicker than usual. I'm not going to pretend, it did hurt like hell and it always does. I'm a bit of a strange one though, i love that feeling. In fact, i thrive on it! Dig deep and push even harder is how i work out! My body was turbo charged on ketones, it felt great!
One of the challenges of day 2 was preparing my husband's evening meal of lamb chops. The smell of them frying made me drool and my belly was rumbling badly! I had a BIG glass of water and powered on through. I even managed to sit at the dinner table whilst he ate it without caving in!
One the biggest challenges that i have struggled with throughout my entire life is emotional eating. I have always turned to food for comfort as far back as i can remember. It feels almost impossible to undo a lifelong habit at times and prior to beginning this fast i found that my old nasty habit had begun to creep back into my life. Yes, it was all keto friendly foods – a tablespoon of almond butter here, a nibble of cheese there, but it all adds up and it's all unnecessary because my body wasn't wanting the food for its nutrient density. It was just to satisfy my my emotions – I wasn't hungry, just emotional!. In the evening on day 2 I was presented with a test. One that would have often seen me reaching for the almond butter as a temporary fix. Instead, I dug deep and resisted. I had come so far and didn't want to break the fast just to make myself 'feel better' for a few minutes. The fast gave me a reason to stay focused and it enabled me to regain control over my comfort eating once again! For this reason alone, the 3 days of pain was well worth it. I'm hoping that I have managed to 'reset my batteries' and the next time i am faced with an emotional challenge, i will remain as strong as on day 2.
Surprisingly, i found it really easy to fall asleep. How much of that was down to the fast remains unknown. The bedtime routine in a household with two little ones can be very tiring so this may have been a factor! That being said, I had some seriously crazy nightmares on the night of day 2. I usually have the same type of nightmares that evolve around recurring themes. These however, were completely different and felt very real. I woke up in a cold sweat and was thankful that they were just bad dreams. Although I can run pretty fast, my chances of outrunning a chainsaw wielding monster that flies is very slim.
Day 3
I woke on day 3 feeling very positive and energetic and by now had begun to experience great mental clarity. I was able to think faster and clearer and everything seemed to make more sense. It's a difficult feeling to try and explain, the only thing I can compare it to is probably how Bradley Cooper's character is portrayed to feel in the film Limitless after he takes the magic pills! Who needs a magic pill to feel great – our bodies can do it with our own magic biochemistry and ketones!
By the time I reached lunchtime I really started to struggle. I knew that I was getting closer to having food for the first time in 3 days – that was all i could think about. I didn't feel hungry, i just wanted to eat really badly! Finally I was able to distinguish the difference between thinking of food and wanting to enjoy the taste of it, rather than eating to satisfy hunger.
I made a huge mistake at lunchtime! One i strongly suggest that you take note of if you are considering a fast yourself. I went to a supermarket! Not only did I step through the doors and torment myself by walking down all the aisles of delicious food, I made it a million times worse by going at a time when my tummy was expecting food! A huge double whammy and one that I instantly regretted! It triggered really strong hunger pangs instantly, which despite all my best efforts remained with me until I broke my fast that evening.
When the time came to break my fast, I opted for something quick to cook and really tasty! Rare ribeye steak with spinach (mixed with olive oil and French's mustard – it's amazing!), purple sprouting broccoli (covered in butter) a fried egg and mushrooms! Although it's a very quick meal to cook, I couldn't cook it quick enough! I reached into the fridge, pulled out the cheese and without even pausing to cut off a slice, bit straight into the block. WOW! My taste buds awoken to each and every single microscopic flavour in the cheese and it tasted so good – like the best cheese ever! The fast definitely woke my taste buds up, giving flavour a whole new dimension! The steak tasted delicious and even the broccoli tasted amazing too (I choose to eat this for the nutrients rather than flavour normally!).
I had a great night's sleep that evening. I felt warm again for the first time in 3 days and my belly was no longer shouting at me!
General notes:
I found that not eating and having to cook saved me a whole lot of time, which, in turn made my days more productive. The extra release of energy that i had allowed me to stay focused and i felt like i was able to act and respond much quicker generally throughout the 3 days
Blood ketone levels throughout the fast sat consistently around 4.2 mmol/L. Fasting blood sugar was 3.2 mmol/L.
My body just ticked over nicely and I was able to go about my days without feeling wide eyed and anxious. This was a concern for me prior to beginning the fast – having struggled through a few days of deep ketosis previously when my ketone levels went sky high and the rushy feeling got too much for me and my body to handle, resulting in me power puking! Perhaps the fasting allowed my body to adapt to using the ketones more effectively than before, it actually felt very calming which was a surprise.
Looking back on the mental struggle I faced towards the end of day 3, In hindsight it would have been better to begin the 72 hour fast at lunch time, that way you don't have to battle through an entire day on the last day! Next time I fast, I will 100% adopt this approach!
In all, my 72 hour fast experience was very positive and one that i look forward to replicating again in a few months time.

Sixers find new faces to step upTweet
IF someone told you Mitch Creek would not have a shot attempt, Nathan Sobey would go 0-of-2 and Josh Childress have two points with a period to play, you'd probably suspect Cairns beat Adelaide.
But the NBL can be a funny place and not only did the 36ers win their fourth tryst of the season with the Taipans, they did it by double-digits!
By inflicting Cairns' 13th loss of the regular season to make it 3-1 from their four meetings, Adelaide also may have cut the Taipans' margin for error from here on out to tracing-paper thin.
Creek was not credited with a field goal attempt, going 0-of-0 but stroking 5-of-6 free throws.
Sobey's two points were from the free throw line, his 0-of-2 including a missed 3-ball. And Childress had two points at three quarter time but went 3-of-3 in the last.
That's three of Adelaide's starters!
"I was just trying to not foul," Creek said. "I was doing a good job of fouling, so that wasn't my smartest choice. But just trying to be smart and pick my time and pick my poison.
"You know last game I just missed five or six chippies that I'd normally make, my intensity wasn't there last game.
"This game my intensity was there (but) I just got into foul trouble early and it took me out of the game.
"In saying that, our team is based on 11 talented players, with great development players as well.
"We probably had five or six guys in double figures and then our probably two or three top leading scorers – two of those guys – two points and five points from me and Sobes.
"So great signs if we can get a win like that on our home court and score that many points with two guys not scoring much."
Once again the 36ers found contributors. Majok Deng continuing his recent upgrade with a further 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting in 18:40 of court-time.
Captain Brendan "The Breeze" Teys was red-hot for 14 points, his season-high tally bolstered by 4-of-6 threes.
And Ramone Moore again was more than anticipated, his 19 points at 62 percent accompanied by seven boards, four assists and a steal.
"He had some great momentum plays, getting on the floor, reading the D, getting to places," Wright said of Teys.
"There's so much more that he does over on the bench, than out on the court.
"Probably for the first time I had a mental lapse drawing a play up (and) Teysy got me through it.
"It's just great having him out there."
Adelaide's biggest early winner was playmaking import Shannon Shorter who had a 12-point opening period in a 17-point half.
He led the 36ers with 21 points but had a brain fade and shoved Cairns veteran Alex Loughton for no good reason. It gave the Taipans a glimpse during the last quarter, which Loughton, Mitch McCarron and Scoochie Smith had worked hard to sustain.
Childress then stepped up and Moore continued to flourish to put the game out of reach.
It was an incredibly undisciplined moment from Shorter, who is inclined to fluctuate between star and nightmare.
"It was disappointing for Shannon at that point in time to do that," Wright said.
"He played an awesome game up to that point and I'm still not going to let that overshadow how well he played.
"I'm just disappointed. He's got to keep his head in a situation like that."
Well-coached and disciplined, Cairns never stopped coming but, as has been the case most of the season, Adelaide found new faces to take the spotlight.
"The reality of it is players like to score," Wright said.
"So if you've got 10 players over there and all of them get a couple of points here and there, it just makes them feel a lot better about coming to training next day so I'll take it.
"I believe in every one of those guys on the bench, including the DPs (development players).
"What these guys are doing is giving me the opportunity to play who's playing well, without then sitting on the bench and being disgruntled," Wright said.
"Our star player, our best player didn't take any shots tonight. He's happy with the win, he's ready to move on to the next game and it's not an issue.
"The problem comes for coaches when I walk into the locker-room and look at a guy like him – a star player, not just on our team but a national team player – and he goes: 'Man I didn't get any buckets. 'Yeah but we won.' 'But I didn't get any buckets.' That's when the trouble starts, so they make it easy for me."
Tonight, they made it easy for everyone.
ADELAIDE 36ERS 100 (Shorter 21, Moore 19, Teys, Johnson 14, Deng 10; Johnson 8 rebs; Moore, Teys, Childress, Johnson 4 assts) d CAIRNS TAIPANS 90 (Loughton 19, McCarron 18, Smith 12, Gliddon 11; Jawai, Loughton, McCarron 4 rebs; McCarron 6 assts) at The Fortress, Titanium Security Arena.

Vladimir Putin nears VICTORY in Syria as rebels warn 'finger on trigger' to end ceasefire
VLADIMIR Putin is on the verge of victory in Syria – but rebel groups have promised they will to strike back against Russia and Bashar al-Assad.
After months of bloody fighting, Russia's onslaught along with he Syrian Army has paved the way from a fragile peace.
Amid accusations of "war crimes" from the US, Putin's Russia stole the march on the West and deployed his war fleet to Syria to end the bloody civil war in favour of the dictator Assad.
But now, Syrian rebel groups have promised they will be ready to fight again if Putin or Assad breach any times reached in looming peace talks.
"This agreement we've reached is very fragile"Vladimir Putin
Zero hour in Syria is at midnight tonight as a ceasefire deal was successfully brokered by Russia and Turkey.
Putin's final push was a join military strike on the ISIS-held town of al-Bab where Russia war planes blitzed the town with support from Turkey's ground forces dispatched by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The ceasefire agreement includes all rebel groups apart from ISIS and Kurdish YPG.
But Osama Abu Zeid, spokesman for the Free Syrian Army, told the press: "We will have our fingers on the trigger."
The Russian supremo said: "This agreement we've reached is very fragile, as we all understand.
"They require special attention and patience, professional attitude, and constant contact with our partners."
He added: "Great work has been done in cooperation with our partners from Turkey.
"We know that only recently there was a trilateral meeting in Moscow of the foreign ministers of Russia, Turkey, and Iran, where all of the nations made obligations not only to control, but also to act as guarantors of the peace process in Syria."
Putin said the agreement will mean a pullback of Russian forces in Syria – which included the mighty Northern Fleet which was sailed through the English Channel in October.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the ceasefire agreement would be submitted to the UN Security Council later on Thursday.
The Syrian National Coalition, umbrella group for the opposition, said in a statement: "The National Coalition expresses support for the agreement and urges all parties to abide by it."

Someone you work with is breaking the rules or 'slacking off' and not being very subtle about it. You usually find this and when it happens you're the one who has to deal with it. It happened to me once – a manager of mine did only half of his job and I was stuck doing the rest, dealing with responsibilities that weren't in my job description or pay. I did the wrong thing and said nothing, moaned to my friends, to my parents and carried on. I needed someone to shake me, give me a slap across the face and realise that standing up, that saying no, isn't something bad, nor something I'm going to get fired for.
In the workplace, it's hard to remember that everyone has a voice; there's a social ladder that we have to climb or a position we have to be in in order to be heard. Actually, this is not the case. A friend of mine works with a man who broke a very serious rule in her line of work, and when she found out she queried it and he immediately stormed out of the room – a classic case of a child throwing his toys out of his pram. She double-checked the misconduct with a colleague who agreed it was the wrong procedure and, to stop anything further – or any of them getting in trouble for this one man's mistake – she told her boss who sent an e-mail around to everyone telling them what the correct procedure was. Immediately she fell into a state of guilt. She felt like a snitch, a suck-up, a back-stabber.
One employee whose actions affect other people – whose laziness you might say – causes more work on your behalf, needs to be reported. It doesn't have to be your problem, it doesn't have to be too serious, just mention it to someone who can change it and carry on with your day. There are worse things than being deemed a snitch – how about being the person everyone hates because your incompetence causes more work and agitation amongst your colleagues?
The fear of addressing people who cause problems is something that lingers not just in jobs, but in life. Addressing them, being more assertive, is the way to stop these problems continuing, it's a way of being professional and true and doing what's best for the company. Most importantly, it's about doing what's best for the other people you work with and to make work more enjoyable, not just for them but for you. After all, isn't the dream to enjoy our work?

This is our friend Homer. He lives in the same apartment building where our other friend Barney lives so we get to visit with him pretty often. A couple of years ago Homer was diagnosed with lung cancer. He was forced to have one of his lungs removed and as you might expect, had a tough time living through it all. I got Stella right around the time Homer started to get his groove back and they were friends from the first time they saw each other. He calls her Angel instead of Stella, which I always thought was pretty cool.

The broad goal of Winkelstein's research is to understand the mechanisms of injury from sports, automotive and degenerative conditions, especially those injuries that produce pain. By combining biomechanical and immunological techniques, her lab can define the relationships between injury to the cervical spine/neck and physiological cascades of persistent pain. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding injury to individual structures in the neck, such as the facet joints, nerve roots and spinal cord and how mechanical loading to these structures elicits pain. Through this work she can begin to develop thresholds for mechanical injury that produce persistent pain; and work towards a definition of the neck's tolerance for painful injury. Additional research efforts are aimed at understanding the role of biomechanics in the neuroimmunologic changes of the central nervous system that contribute to persistent pain. Applications of her current work are in the areas of automotive and whiplash-related injury and sports injuries and have implications for design efforts in automobiles that are aimed at preventing whiplash injuries.Member of:

1950 Land Rover 80 inch Series 1
Vehicle registration YHL501
Vehicle Number 10BC0
Chassis number 06103299
The Landrover entered production in 1948 with what was later termed the Series 1. Here we have an excellent example of a 1950 80 inch Series 1 Landrover. As with all Landrovers of this age it has the ring pull mechanism in the drivers footwell allowing the freewheel to be locked to provide the 4WD. It has a 1.6 litre petrol engine producing around 50 bhp (37 kW; 51 PS). The British Army tested the 80 inch Series 1 Landrover as soon as it was launched in 1948 and they continue to use the modern Defender versions to this day. This Landrover has been lovingly restored and the original air filter is still fitted. This would be one of the last versions of the Landrover with the lights behind the grill as this was changed in 1950 to have them protruding through.

Brain vitamins are those which keep our minds working the way they should. This article identifies those which do the most good ...
by Dime Alexi, a registered nurse and a free-lance writer whose specialties include health issues
We often hear of brain vitamins and minerals beings offered in the form of nutritional supplements. As the name implies, these micronutrients boost the healthy functioning of the brain such that it is better able to resist the signs of aging like lower memory abilities, lesser cognitive functions and higher risks for neurological chronic degenerative diseases. Many nutritional supplements information will even ascribe significantly lowering the risk for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
Well, of course, your primary sources of these micronutrients should be a healthy diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and cereals, and lean meats and fishes, among others. But there will be instances that nutritional supplementation is necessary if the following brain nutrients can be feed to the body.
An added benefit of the right dosages for these brain vitamins and minerals is that the body also becomes healthier. After all, what your brain requires for good health is also true for the body.
If you believe that your diet already supplies the necessary nutrients but you still want to avail of the benefits of supplementation, we recommend multivitamins in their oral forms. This way, you have additional brain insurance, so to speak, that will bridge the gap between what the brain requires in certain situations and what is being fed to it through a healthy diet. Your child will benefit from multivitamin supplements, too, with studies showing that children who took them has higher non-verbal IQ scores by as much as 25 points. Just make sure that there are B vitamins in the supplements.
Yet another class of critical brain vitamins is the antioxidants, which consists of many nutrients including vitamins C and E as well as CoQ10. Mounting scientific evidence show that many neurological chronic degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease are partly sue to the adverse actions of free radicals on the brain cells.
If you can connect the dots, antioxidants fight off the free radicals. Thus, when you increase your consumption of antioxidants from food and supplement sources, you are lowering your risks for Alzheimer's disease and the like.
At present, researchers generally agree that, for these antioxidant nutrients to be effective, certain doses must be followed. Vitamin E dosage is 400-500 IU; Vitamin C dose is 500-1,000 mg; lipoic acid at 10-50 mg; and CoQ10 is at 100-200 mg. If you want these brain vitamins straight from their food sources, you can include more prunes, blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, strawberries, raisins, garlic, cooked kale, raw spinach, and raspberries into your diet.
The modern-day diet is more filled with omega-6 than the healthy omega-3 essential oil, which should not be. Studies have shown that people with sufficient levels of omega-3 in their bodies have higher IQs than those who are malnourished in this essential oil. We recommend eating more fatty fishes like tuna, salmon, mackerel and herring as well as flax seed oil to get your share of omega-3.
Ultimately, these brain vitamins and minerals are just that - nutrients to feed the body and mind. You must still exert the effort to actually exercise your brain just as you exercise your body. Go out and socialize, read books and just generally hone your brain's capacities regardless of your age.

For at least a decade, the
Now, in a series of real-life Rubik's Cube moves, elected officials are on the verge of signing an agreement that would create a framework for both sides to get what they want. The United Nations would take part of
If the agreement, or memorandum of understanding, is signed by Mayor
Once the new tower was built, the United Nations, which has been renting 1 and 2 United Nations Plaza from the city at below-market rates, would move its offices out of those buildings or begin paying market rents. Selling those buildings would provide the rest of the money for the esplanade.
Some residents of the area, especially those in Tudor City, have blasted the plan, saying a new skyscraper, at First Avenue and 41st Street, would wall them off from the East River. But for some officials and other East Side residents, the swap could help realize their long-held dream of waterfront access.Continue reading the main story
"It is a very rare occasion where I would ever find myself supporting the alienation of open space in my district," State Senator
The city would build the northern portion of the esplanade first, with the $65 million it would receive for Robert Moses Playground. That would allow it to take advantage of existing pilings in the water, saving tens of millions of dollars in construction costs. The portion of the esplanade from 41st to 53rd Street would be paid for by the sale of 1 and 2 United Nations Plaza, which could yield hundreds of millions of dollars, to be split between the city and the esplanade project.
Part of the proceeds from the sale of the playground would go toward improvements to St. Vartan Park, five blocks south of Robert Moses Playground. The agreement also secures money to stabilize Waterside Pier, a former
At a series of forums to discuss the deal, the playground, a little more than an acre, was depicted alternately as a beloved park where children learn to ride their
The memorandum has identified a site 16 blocks to the south for a replacement park, turning Asser Levy Place, a two-block street that runs between 23rd and 25th Street east of First Avenue, into a playground.
Even if the memorandum is signed by Oct. 10, there is no guarantee that the United Nations will commit to the deal. Negotiations between elected officials have included the United Nations Development Corporation, a city-state public-benefit corporation that handles the United Nations' real estate needs. But while there is every expectation that the United Nations would want the playground site, the organization is not party to the memorandum.
"In the past decade, it has repeatedly expressed interest in consolidating its operations on this particular site," said Micah Lasher, the city's chief lobbyist in Albany.
Alternatively, the United Nations could build on its own campus. If it did so, however, it would be exempt from zoning laws and could avoid the city's uniform land-use review procedure, which puts major building projects under a microscope.
"The U.N. could decide to build on their North Lawn," Ms. Krueger said. "The community gets another large building — somebody other than Tudor City gets impacted — but there's no funding at all for improvements to park space or a new esplanade."
That is little consolation for residents of Tudor City, a cluster of neo-gothic apartment towers near the United Nations. A new United Nations tower would affect two buildings in particular: 2 and 5 Tudor City. "It would feel smothering," said Muriel Gross, a retired teacher who has lived in the complex for 31 years. "We've had it open all these years. Who gives away playgrounds?"
There is also opposition from groups critical of the United Nations, particularly the conservative
"We're not doing this deal for the benefit of the United Nations," said Brian Kavanagh, a state assemblyman who represents the East Side. "We're doing this deal, if we do it, for the benefit of our community and New Yorkers."
Community Board 6, whose 50 members will soon hold a nonbinding vote on the proposal, says that its district, from 14th to 59th Streets east of Lexington Avenue, has the lowest ratio of open space to office workers and residents in the city. And many there have felt more than a twinge of envy as they have watched Hudson River Park take shape across the island.
"We look at the West," said Mark P. Thompson, the community board's chairman, "and think, 'Wow, we'd love to have something as wonderful as that, too.' "Continue reading the main story

The Democrats and other leftists are calling the Tea Parties racist. No surprise there. Race-baiting and race mongering have been a second nature to the left for decades. A typical race-baiting tactic is to ask how come the Tea Parties have so few blacks?
The answer may be racism but it's not the Tea Parties' racism. According to recent polls 91% of blacks approve of the job Barack Obama is doing. Only 39% of non-blacks (that includes Asians and Hispanics) feel the same way. Only someone with suicidal instincts would point to these statistics as indication that the racial shoe fits on the other foot.
Let me just point out that since the Tea Parties represent a revolt against Obama's radical and destructive policies, that leaves only 9% of the black community as potential recruits for Tea Partiers in the first place. The fact that so-called liberals are bigoted, intolerant punitive and will make "race-traitors" pay heavily for any defections, reduces that number by what? half? and accounts pretty accurately for the number of black Tea Partiers it has been my pleasure to encounter at the Tea Party events at which I have spoken.

Re: Multiple DataWedge profiles for browserDerek Warren Apr 14, 2016 12:41 PM (in response to Jeffrey Murrell)
Number 2 might not be possible if they're reaching the applications through the built in web browser since they'll have the same launcher association in DataWedge.
Hmm this is a tough one but there might be another option.
How are they accessing the web applications? Are they bookmarked, shortcuts, typing in URL bar?
Are they using the same barcode type(s) for both applications?
Is the EMDK being used for any application on the device?
Building on your 2nd option, maybe a pass through application that Modifies/Enables/Disables a DataWedge profile when switching from 3rd party applications might be feasible.

What to Look for When Installing a Gas Station Canopy.
When starting up a gas station one of the architectural structures to put in place would be the canopy. A canopy is advantageous and necessary in every gas station. Below are some guidelines to help you when constructing a canopy for your gas station.
The first thing to do is to know which shape your canopy will have. The structure of your canopy will affect the outcome of your station.
Evaluate the total amount of money you are going to spend to construct the canopy next. When writing your budget you should factor in an extra bill just as an emergency saving for unexpected demands. Do not over budget or under budget for your canopy construction.
You need to search and know more about constructing a canopy. Do not rush through as you carry out your research. Discover the location you are going to outsource your material. Workers are required to help you build your canopy hence, outsource for the most appropriate and convenient source. Before deciding to buy items, search to compare other products in the market. If the research you do is thorough, the building process will be a smooth sail. Experience is the best teacher, therefore, look among your friends for those who have renovated and ask for advice on what to do and also they can give you references.
Investing in constructing a canopy is benefits you in the following ways. One of the advantages you will get from a canopy is that it will protect you and your customers from physical elements. You will be protected from the sun, snow, rain and other many physical elements.
When your customers come to your gas station they will feel safer if there is a canopy. A canopy allows you to install lighting fixtures that will make clients feel better when they are refilling in your station at night
Placing adverts on canopies is a good idea because it is a huge structure hence the advert will be visible to many people. Make your canopies attractive by painting it with bright colors for it to be visible during the day and installing lighting fixtures for it to be well lit at night.
Below are some ideas to make your canopy look better and have it serve its purpose. First improve on the lighting of your canopy. Adding lighting on your canopy is a way of advertising your gas station to passersby and it will make them want to visit it. Consider energy to be used by lights and opt to install LED lights. The structure of your canopy should be firm enough to and be well designed to withstand all kinds of weather.
As discussed above, it is better to have a copy in place at our gas station that when there is none.
The Best Advice About Commercial I've Ever Written

A home is the most costly thing many people will ever buy. The process of buying a home can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. One way to make the process of buying a home go more smoothly is to save enough money to put down a substantial down payment.
Saving for a down payment on a home is similar to saving for other items, only on a far grander scale. Many financial planners and real estate professionals recommend prospective home buyers put down no less than 20 percent of the total cost of the home they're buying. Down payments short of 20 percent will require private mortgage insurance, or PMI. The cost of PMI depends on a host of variables, but is generally between 0.3 and 1.5 percent of the original loan amount. While plenty of homeowners pay PMI, buyers who can afford to put down 20 percent can save themselves a considerable amount of money by doing so.
Down payments on a home tend to be substantial, but the following are a few strategies prospective home buyers can employ to grow their savings with an eye toward making a down payment on their next home.

This book is really amazing.
I've received it today:-)
At the beginning I considered the Sabine's style as a little too much overembellished,but now,the more I go into and watch-it's more and more precious to me.This is the source of inspiration,for the new forms discovery and new textures,to experiment with.
The variety of crystals and beads,also the colors and the way of bezelling the Swarovski rivolis is uncompetitional here.These are all true Masterpieces.I am very much impressed with the book.
