Skipping meals is often used as a quick weight loss method (despite dietitian warnings) – but research suggests starving your body kick-starts stem cells into producing new white blood cells, which fight off infection.
Scientists at the University of Southern California say the discovery could be particularly beneficial for people suffering from compromised immune systems such as cancer patients on chemotherapy.
The researchers who tested on both mice and human clinical trial say fasting "flips a regenerative switch" which prompts stem cells to create brand new white blood cells, essentially regenerating the entire immune system.
"We could not predict that prolonged fasting would have such a remarkable effect in promoting stem cell-based regeneration of the hematopoietic system," said study co-author Professor Valter Longo, Professor of Gerontology and the Biological Sciences at the University of California in a statement.
"When you starve, the system tries to save energy, and one of the things it can do to save energy is to recycle a lot of the immune cells that are not needed, especially those that may be damaged.
"What we started noticing in both our human work and animal work is that the white blood cell count goes down with prolonged fasting. Then when you re-feed, the blood cells come back. So we started thinking, well, where does it come from?"
The study has major implications for healthier aging, where immune system decline contributes to increased susceptibility to disease as people age. In other words, you get old, you get sick.
By outlining how prolonged fasting cycles — periods of no food for two to four days at a time over the course of six months — kill older and damaged immune cells and generate new ones, the research also has implications for chemotherapy tolerance and immune system deficiencies, including autoimmune diseases.
Prolonged fasting forces your body to use stores of glucose, fat and ketones, but it also breaks down a significant portion of white blood cells.
And while there is some evidence that the so-called intermittent fasting (all-day or partial-day fasting) has a host of health and weight management benefits, experts say more clinical studies are needed.
According to the Vice President of the Australian Medical Association, Dr Tony Bartone, "fasting caries significantly physiological stresses to the human body."
"It should never be used as a weight loss tool unless under medical supervision and even then it is unlikely that it would be for any significant length of time," he says, and the same principle applies to fasting for 'health' reasons.
"If the person is not well at the beginning, prolonged fasting can have significant medical consequences," Dr Bartone says, urging people to speak with their doctor before they take treatment into their own hands.
If you are concerned about your health, book an appointment with your GP who will be able to advise a correct treatment plan.
If you or someone you know needs help, call Lifeline on 131 114, Beyondblue on 1300 22 4636 or Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800. In an emergency, call 000.

YOU can put your child underwater! It is so good for your baby!
I want to teach you this parenting skill.
Watch this video and do this with your baby!
Even with my experience with so many other babies, I was nervous and excited his first time with Parker at the pool at 3 months. We played and floated and I poured water on his face like his parents have been doing in his bath. I really don't get too many babies that young and was afraid he would choke on the water... Don't you feel that way too? Well, even though I pretty much cut that out of the video, he did choke a little but it only lasted about 2 seconds and then he was fine. I stroked his cheek and talked him through it. I knew that I had to do it again and told myself that if he choked again I would work more in the tub... Thankfully, the second time going under, he was fine. It works!!!
As you can see in the video, soon he was gliding and smiling.
This is baby swimming that is good for you and your baby, and research supports it.

 The sculptor and installation artist Betye Saar was born in Los Angeles, where she received a non-art B.A. from UCLA and an M.A. in graphic design from California State University at Long Beach. Her artistic career was strongly influenced by a childhood memory of having watched the sculptor Simon Rodia build his now famous Watts Tower out of the accumulated junk, refuse and debris of his environment. This fascinating and inventive, combined with her discovery of Joseph Cornell's boxes, inspired Saar in her own search for an art of constructed, gathered objects. Her own early boxes were filled with objects that she believed contained the power inherent in natural forces.

 Of African, Indian and Irish heritage, Saar imbues her work with a mix of personal, cultural and magical expression ranging from childhood memories and African motifs to works of social commentary, such as 1972's "Aunt Jemima", in which the iconic figure is dressed in black fatigues, giving the "Black Power" salute and carrying a gun. Today Saar teaches in Los Angeles at the Otis-Parsons Institute.

 A leading conceptual artist, Sarkis has returned to his native Turkey many times since the 1980s to exhibit his work, participating in the Istanbul Biennial and in shows at the Akbank Art Gallery. The gallery devoted all of its six floors to the "Sarkis, A Milestone" exhibition; apart from Turkey and France, he has exhibited his work in over three dozen countries, including the US, Germany, India, Australia, China, Japan, Mexico and Brazil.

Creamy Tomato Soup – Growing up, one of my favorite meals was tomato soup with grilled cheese. Condenses, Campbell's tomato soup and grilled cheese make with Kraft singles. Oh yes, that was my favorite. I would eat the entire pot of soup, dipping my grilled cheese in it and when the grilled cheese was gone, I would switch to saltine crackers. 🙂
I've struggled to find a non-condensed tomato soup that I love and brings back those childhood memories of creamy, steaming soup. But finally, finally, I've found The One.
The method is awesome. You roast canned, whole tomatoes in the oven, along with a red pepper (a jarred red pepper works great). In the summer, I'll definitely be using fresh tomatoes.
Then you build you soup and puree it all together. It's heavenly, rich, smooth, warm, and utterly perfect as far as tomato soups go. And grilled cheese is a must. 🙂
Creamy Tomato Soup
- 2 (28 oz.) cans whole tomatoes (reserve juice)
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar
- 4 tbsp. butter, unsalted
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 tbsp. tomato paste
- 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 roasted red pepper, jarred or freshly roasted
- 1 1/2 cups half & half, whole milk, or heavy cream (or a combination of any of these)
- Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1. Preheat broiler. To roast peppers, cut in half, clean out the seeds, and place skin side up on a broiler pan. Broil for 20-25 minutes or until the majority of the skin turning black and charred. Remove from oven and let cool. When cool enough to handle, peel off the black skins, and cut in large chunks.
2. Heat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Remove the seeds from the canned tomatoes and discard. Arrange the tomatoes on a baking sheet and sprinkle them with brown sugar. Bake until liquid is evaporated and tomatoes caramelize, about 30 minutes. If used a jarred roasted red pepper, add the pepper during the last ten minutes of roasting the tomatoes to remove excess liquid from the pepper.
3. In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion and tomato paste to pot and saute until onions soften. 5-7. Add flour and cook for 1 minute. 4. Gradually add chicken stock and reserved tomato juice. Bring to a boil. Add tomatoes and peppers and stir to combine.
4. Puree until smooth using an immersion blender, or remove from pot in small batches and puree in a food processor or blender. Return to pot, simmer 15 more minutes. Five minutes before serving, half & half. Season to taste with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

From the Encouragers
I think this is a wonderful idea! I look forward to blessing and encouraging others! I'm a stay at home mom and daycare provider, so I don't get out much. This is a way that allows me to spread the gospel and help others from home! Thank you for letting me be a part of this blessing! May God bless you!

I think this is a wonderful idea! I am going to do it. There has been a couple times in my life that some random word of encouragement from some random person has changed my way of thinking and brought me back to the Lord and all that was really important instead of being wrapped up in my own stressful or depressed moment, this is a way I can maybe hopefully pass that on to someone else.

I heard about this on K-Love and was so interested. I've been praying for God to help me reach out to my community (but being a teenager I wasn't sure what I could do), and it seems like I turned on the radio at exactly the right time! My prayer was answered! I thank all those responsible for this group and plan to start writing letters right away.

While most of us have fond childhood memories of a certain red-haired mermaid and her catchy songs, the real little mermaid as envisioned by Hans Christian Andersen did not live so happily ever after. First, she has her tongue cut out to be with the human love of her life, and while she desperately wishes for legs in both the Disney and Andersen versions, in the original she feels as if she's walking on knives the entire time she's a biped. And to add insult to injury, her prince ends up marrying another woman!
Heartbroken and lonely, the mermaid learns that the only way to return home to the sea is to kill the prince, but finds she can't bring herself to do it and kills herself instead. Super kid-friendly, right?

After what seemed like an interminable 3-week off season, I'm officially back to training, which makes for a happy Kay 🙂 Having exchanged a few emails with my coach, Jordan Cheyne, fine-tuning this coming season's long-term plan, I'm feeling pretty excited and confident that it will be another fun and challenging year. Before I started working with Jordan (Peak Form Coaching), I would never have guessed an "online" coach would be ideal for me. I was sure I needed group workouts and in-person sessions with a coach. It turns out not only is that not the case, but I actually work better with the current set up. Why? It's not so much online vs in-person coaching situations but the particulars of how the current set-up fits what I need from a coach:
- Flexible workout scheduling: Jordan's weekly training schedule arrives in my in-box like clockwork. I have a work schedule that is very demanding at times — where I'm at my desk all day, evening, and into the wee hours of the morning — and other times flexible enough that I can take an hour or two mid-afternoon to do a workout. Unlike a lot of my training friends, I don't have a 9am to 5pm schedule; I work on weekends and evenings. My work comes first; training comes second, but I've gotten very efficient at setting out my daily workflow and looking for ideal times to add my workouts in. That means, however, that set group workout times can be difficult for me to work my schedule around. So receiving a training plan that lets me choose when during the day the workout will take place means I have a higher rate of workout completion.
- Online training files: I've mentioned this before in another post, but knowing your coach is looking at your training data and uploaded workouts on Strava is something I find highly motivating and it keeps me accountable. Last year, I estimate I completed over 90% of the workouts. This year, my goal is to bring that closer to 100%. Jordan makes that easy by creating some flexibility in the workouts: for example, if I'm feeling tired, there's an option to do a slightly shorter version of the run workout; if I'm feeling good, then I have the option of doing 10 or 20 minutes longer. Having a buffer zone built into the "successful" workout means I can make my own decisions without feeling like I've failed in the workout. That's important.
- Strong communication: the online coaching can only work if you and your coach have a good system for regular communication. Jordan's communication skills are top notch and his response time is under 24hrs. But I know that as a pro cyclist he's also balancing other commitments, so in turn, I aim to keep my emails relatively short, providing him with the info and updates he needs for the next week's training plan and asking questions that don't (normally!) require an essay in response. That said, he always gives each of my questions their due — a paragraph in response.
- Facilities flexibility: working with a coach online means that I have the freedom I need to choose facilities or join other group swims and workouts as I like. Because I don't have a car, being committed to a coach who works out of particular facilities can be difficult for me, as it add a lot of bike-commuting time to get to pool or track facilities across town and sometimes makes it impossible for me to get to my next meeting or appointment on time — something my carless training buddy Alison understands well. More frustrating is that often those group workouts assume you have a car: for a bike-run brick workout, for example, it's often assumed you'll just lock up your bike in or on top of your car. When I can go to my closest pool and use my house as a transition zone for brick workouts, getting the workouts done is infinitely easier for me. As a result, I complete a much larger % of the training plan.
What all of this means is that the coaching dynamic allows Jordan to work remotely and for me to temporarily relocate, as I have, to Montreal, and for everything to carry on tickity boo.
With Ironman Lanzarote now only 24 weeks away, we have our work cut out for us and I've made a list of 4 race-performance-oriented goals which I've shared with my coach. I'm keeping those under my hat, however, (sorry!) and will share what I think are the more important goals, none of which are race-performance-related:
1) Learn to love swimming! Swimming has never been a great love of mine and it's starting to really take its toll, holding me back in races as my bike and run get stronger. I'm typically last out of the water in my age group and then have to make up time on the bike and run. To meet my swim-love goal I've found a pool that I like, a tri club that has good swim sessions, and a swim coach who's offering a January swim camp. I'm 100% committed to embrace swimming: this year is gonna be all about the swim.
2) Complete as close to 100% of the training plan as possible and do high-quality workouts. I mentioned above that I've already made some pretty big strides on this front, thanks to Jordan's coaching methodology. This season, I'm aiming higher: from the beginning, I'm trying to stay 100% committed to completing each workout and to doing them well. For example, I realized I have a tendency to do a lazy warm up on the bike: on the trainer, I'm not super focused during the warm up and am just spinning my legs. And I often cut the cool down a bit short. This year, I want to be fully focused and make every training minute count.
3) Improve strength-to-weight ratio. Earlier this year I blogged about how the rehab for my broken jaw led me to do consistent core workouts. That process took me from not being able to hold a plank for more than 10 seconds to planking for over 3 minutes. I am so much stronger now but at the same time, I know that strength is something I really need to improve upon. The difference is now I know how. In addition to doing 20-min core workouts at home 4 to 5 days a week, I'm also adding visits to the weight room immediately after swimming. Fortunately, my partner E. is my super-knowledgeable personal trainer on that front, so I'm in good hands.
This week in review:
This week I signed up for a McGill gym & pool membership, added on locker & towel service and headed straight for the pool for my first swim since… Challenge Penticton in August? Yep, that long. Afterwards, my arms ached the next day, but I did actually enjoy the swim workout and am looking forward to going back.
Weight training:
I hit the weight room for the first time and was greeted by Patrick the delightful, energetic weightroom staff member who told me the tour started with a hug. That may sound strange, but was kind of funny-awesome and it made the experience of working in a new facility more welcoming and I felt like I could easily approach him if I had other questions afterwards. To me, that's a big deal in spaces that can be "meathead" environments. So, thanks for the tour and for the hug, Patrick!
I assembled my Tacx trainer and got my bike set up this week. The Tuesday workout was a cadence-ramp workout, while Thursday's was a strength-endurance climbs workout. It felt so good to be back on the bike, even indoors (I actually have no problem being on the trainer indoors and have done many 4- to 5-hour workouts before). The trainer is a brand I haven't used before and I bought the cheapest, but best quality one I could find, as I already have two other trainers back home. I'm still working on creating more resistance though, since in both workouts this week I maxed out the gears before reaching the resistance I wanted. Fortunately, I have a few tips to try still. Here's the only shot I have of the bike workouts:
Run: I did a 45-minute run this week to remind my legs about running. Wake up, legs! I ended up doing that indoors on the treadmill because it was wet, snowy, and slushy outside. One of the perks of the McGill fitness centre is that the treadmill limit seems to be one hour, rather than the usual 30 minutes. I really appreciated that, since I rarely do a run under 30 minutes.
Challenges: As I mentioned, I'm absolutely loving the McGill facilities. They're not far from home and everything I need is there. However! The indoor track is currently closed because students are writing exams (I completely forgot that many exams are written in the fieldhouse, even though I've both written and supervised the writing of exams there); and the pool is closed for maintenance next week, which means I'll need to find other facilities during that time. On the upside, they extended my membership to credit me for not being able to use these facilities, so all in all, things are good.
If you have any tips on learning to love swimming, please let me know in the comments!

Roam the markets (on a bright, crisp spring day) without the drive, subway or any particular season: Green Market blooms with all that is fresh and life giving, in your home, with one stroke of the match. Delightfully crisp yet sweet (but never antiseptic), Green Market conveys the luscious, piquant earthiness of fuzzy, green tomato leaves and their addictive aroma. Basil is a dulcet, spicy accent that comforts as it revitalizes and makes us think of the soft shade wide oak leaves offer on warm spring days.
Alternately, Watermint is a cooling force, a tantalizing evocation of dewy spring evenings and all the shimmering magic they possess. Water hyacinth is pure serenity, an aquatic, clean floral that clears the mind and resets the senses. Cilantro's soapy sparkle makes the Green Market fun, tantalizing our palates with infinite possibilities. Fig leaves introduce a dulcet, creamy element as satisfying as farm fresh cream but distinctly more ephemeral. The crunch of cucumber sends shivers of satisfaction up and down our spines.
If you're craving a relief from winter, summer or fall, or simply feel all that is green is golden, look no further than Green Market. Made with clean, sustainable coconut wax. 50 hour burn time.

"I walk across eaves
and the small of your back
as though I know better than to leave a mark"
I thought of that at god-knows-what-time in the morning. I kept seeing people in strange monochrome suits etched into my eyelids; I would turn my imaginary back, and there'd be a silhouette in the darkness where none was before.
I don't remember details. I don't want to; but panic starts to bubble up in my gut and I have to make a conscious effort not to let it boil over into fear. Was it a dream? Was it reality? I remember exhaustion and my friend sleeping on the couch in my room and the constant sound of birds chirping in the otherwise eddying night land soundscape.
All summer, I've sleep with a comforter on because the morning is chilly, but this particular very early morning, my arms and my chest were swelled up with fire as that now too-familiar feeling of utter and complete terror seized me like an owl's talons curling over a mouse.
This dread is starting to infiltrate my life in these nefarious ways. If I'm not totally engaged in physical work, or mentally working on that-which-has-yet-to-be-formally-named, or indulging in some mindless whatever, my mind automatically, like clockwork, fixates on the to-come, and it's starting to become really really annoying.
It's taking me out of the moment. I can't start openly choking on this morbidity in public. Firstly: it's unseemly. Secondly: it's unhealthy. Thirdly: I'm losing my enjoyment of the present because I keep waiting for the grave to close in around me.
GET. A. GRIP. Just because your father's older than James Gandolfini doesn't mean that in the next second, Papa's going to drop dead too. Just because everybody's waiting on Nelson Mandela's last breath doesn't mean that all of a sudden, every public figure I've ever known is going to shrivel up into the wrinkled, withered forms of the nebulous "Old." Lilian E Min, you are not Michael Hastings, not least because you haven't achieved anything close to what he has.
Just to cover my bases: Big Brother, if you're reading this, don't worry, I'm a fastidiously moral, law-abiding citizen. Go America!
Okay. But even as I type this, I can feel doubt creeping into my mind palace. No, I don't actually call it my mind palace. Whatever, I miss "Sherlock," even though the more I think about that show, the less I like it.
THAT. ASIDE. Jesus, I'm all over the place today. Anyway, my friend Alexa and I both randomly started reading "The Handmaid's Tale" (actually, I was supposed to have read that for class last semester but oops), and there's this one passage that stuck to the inside of my brain:
Is that how we lived, then? But we lived as usual. Everyone does, most of the time. Whatever is going on is as usual. Even this is as usual, now … We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom.
We lived in the gaps between the stories.
I can hear the second hand on my watch ticking away, and I think about how badly I've been sleeping, and how every second I delay my sleep is another dozen shaved off the quivering timeline of my life. Perhaps the Fates are stretching my string right now, and the maw of their scissors is closing in around it…
And now I don't think I'm going to sleep well tonight either.

The "He said, She said" on Fraternity Music
Here at Bucknell, we often associate our Greek organizations synecdochiacally – sometimes we view an individual through the scope of their letters, and sometimes an entire chapter may be reduced the actions and character of its individuals. As all of us in the Greek system know, the part often does not equal the whole and each chapter is full of diversity – especially when it comes to our music tastes.
One aspect of our party scene that I've noticed during my year as a social chair is that music can make or break a party, but even more importantly, each organization has distinct music tastes. I learned to play off of this knowledge, fine-tuning my playlists to the taste of that night's sorority. From doing this, a major question formed in my mind: what is the musical identity of my organization? Furthermore, I realized that sororities exposure to fraternity's music tastes were generally limited to parties and Super Saturdays. How unfortunate, I thought, that this is the case; that each fraternity's musical identity is limited to these two instances week after week. Surely there must be more to it than that?
This week I set out to find answers to two vital questions. First, how do members of various sororities perceive the musical identity of each fraternity, based on their parties, and second, how do members of each fraternity perceive their own musical identity when they reflect on their parties and their downtime? To do this, I asked women in various sororities on their opinion of each fraternity's music tastes, and asked a member of each fraternity to respond.
So, here it is: a "he said/she said" breakdown of each fraternity's music!
Chi Phi
She Said: "Plays the songs that people want to hear….if there is a popular song, you will definitely hear it at a chi phi party" "Country…AND NINTIES!!"
He Said: "Hanging out, the music is definitely different. I would say a lot of guys love listening to "Summer Hits of the 90s" on Pandora. Additionally, we love our 80s throwbacks (shout-out to Tommy Tutone). And not just 80s, 70s throwbacks and probably earlier stuff can be heard playing while hanging out. Aside from that, country music is a huge hit amongst the brothers, definitely a "go-to."
She Said: "Mostly Top-Chart music with some good throwbacks."
He Said: "At parties it tends to be a lot of house, pop and hip-hop. Top 40's, 90's and early 2000's always make it in. When its just the guys, half the house is electronic music and the other half is Irish and Country music."
Kappa Sig
She Said: "Very eclectic but well-balanced." "A little bit of everything."
He Said: "Parties are a mix of techno, house, and sing-a-longs. Super Saturdays are sing-a-longs and mostly classic rock, and then at home people love rap and some alternative/indie rock."
She Said: "KDR has good music...lots of EDM and techno." "A mix of top 40 hits and throwbacks that everybody always gets really excited to listen to."
He said: "We mostly listen to Top 40 and pop remixes or songs that people can easily memorize and dance to at parties. We love super Saturday type of music: guys in the fraternity usually listen to country, hard rock and something that we can just chill while listening to. But the individual spectrum of music is extremely diverse."
She Said: "Used to be all dubstep and house, but lately have been mixing in more chart-topping music."
He Said: "Parties are a mixture of Top 40 and hip-hop with the occasional throwback and twerk track. When we're chilling it's a mixture of classic rock, reggae, electro soul and rap – particularly Chance the Rapper and Childish Gambino."
She Said: "Lots of house, pop and grinding music." "I feel like I'm in a Euroclub."
He Said: "Here's the lowdown: When its just the guys it varies between house and classic rock songs. Parties are definitely mainstream house, but the second midnight hits, its throwback time."
Phi Psi
She Said: "Doesn't matter what it is, its always blaring" "You'll get lots of edm and poppy dance music. Expect lots of raging and jumping around." "Late 90's, early 2000 jams. Some new age pop but mostly oldies from our teenage-agehood"
He Said: "That's a tough one. I'd say the night usually stars off with your typical house music but almost always ends up heading back to the slightly older classics/throwbacks that everyone loves. Super Saturdays are usually some country mix, but when its just the guys it's a lot more laid back – sometimes country, sometimes folk or easy-going hip-hop. It all makes an appearance during the weekend"
Sig Chi
She Said: "Sig chi has the best party music. Lots of "get low"s and "shake it"s. Plenty of grinding music which is different from most of the other fraternities and a lot of fun to dance at." "Always, always, always, Gas Pedal and ass-shaking, booty-moving music."
He Said: "A lot of what people listen to here is just different types of rap. We're also a very diverse fraternity that has other music tastes such as trap, country and indie rock. But when we're partying we play gangsta rap like m.a.a.d. city and Gaspedal"
She Said: "A complete grab bag, but with the same stomping characteristic as TKE where the guys sing loudly and ironically" "Lots of country and throwbacks. Lots of boys playing to their nostalgia. If you don't hear "Wagon Wheel" once, something is wrong.
He Said: "The music we listen to I've found there is a very diverse musical background between many of us that is often not heard at social occasions. I think it's safe to say you could find a SigEp listening to anything from Dispatch and Dave Mathews to Tame Impala to Rick Ross to Djs and house artists." "On the weekends we listen to almost exclusively classic rock with some country thrown on. If someone messes with that and throws on gangster rap on a Saturday afternoon it usually returns to Bruce Springsteen or Tom petty fairly quickly." "Classic rock is also the best music ever so there's that."
She Said: "Hard hitting house – everybody just stops their feet. They also play stuff like Ke$ha and other songs that are ironic for boys to be singing to." "Music that makes everyone want to dance…there really isn't one specific theme, but whatever is playing always gets everyone at the party excited." "You'll hear lots of girly sing-a-longs. You'll also hear plenty of throwback and modern rap."
He Said: "The music we listen to on our own is pretty different than the music at parties. When we're just chilling, we listen to recent, upcoming and underground rap. Sometimes vibey electronic tunes too. Some of us also listen to a lot of country and classic rock. But at parties we play house and sing-a-long dance tunes, with some classic pop songs too."
Interesting, huh? The music scene here is ever expanding, continuously changing, and the fraternities play a large role in what music we are exposed to here. I hope this investigation of mine has given you an idea of each fraternity's tastes, and inspires you to dig deeper into each to discover more about their musical preferences.
While this list is by no means conclusive, and is mostly built upond generalizations, it's obvious that each fraternity has its own style and musical identity. Though each has their own taste in "party music", they all still have musical tastes that extend far beyond the confines of downtown. I think it is important to recognize the diversity among the chapters that is clearly expressed here and I encourage everybody who is reading this to join the conversation by commenting below with your thoughts – do you agree with the quotes above? Is this list true to your experience with each fraternity? What would you like to know more about?
Keep the beat going,
Connor Small

Dear Weather
Pick a season.
Winter of Summer. Frozen or Thaw. I don't really care but the muddy pasture for the horses and back roads for my running is getting annoying.
For A Post On Community…
For a post all about community why are the comments off and the people/business that are talked about are not linked?
Glen seams like an up to speed guy. He's doing a good (aside from these issues) job blogging, tweeting and putting videos on YouTube.
Maybe I'm just an idiot with my head up my butt but, I don't even know who he's talking about with, "Our best known economist is using his blog and Facebook entries", and I'd like to.
Hope it's just an oversight.
And another thing.
I really hate when I hear someone say
"I wrote a blog about this"
Really you wrote a WHOLE SITE on one little topic or issue. NO! You wrote a post ON a blog.
Go to WordPress, the label to put up a new post says "Add New" under "Posts" not "Blog". In fact there isn't even a "Blog" heading! New Blog would set up a whole new site, on wp.com anyways.
Please just get it right or I might explode.
I love the Mac App Store. It's just so easy to buy apps, update them and install them on multiple machines.
One problem I'm starting to find more and more is that not having a way to do trials is becomming a problem. It's been talked about before even on iOS. For a ninety nine cent apps, no big deal but $20 plus apps are becoming more common. These traditionally had more extensive trials, most still do but you have to go to their website, download/install from there, then if I like it uninstall it so I can go back to the app store and buy it. Not the end of the world but it's starting to get annoying.
"Lite" versions don't seam to be a great option either, now I'll have two versions on the app showing up in my list of "purchased" apps not to mention having to uninstall one version.
I don't know for sure what a good solution is. I loved to option on Android to return an app within the first 24 hrs. It worked great although I can see it being a bit of a hassle on their end. Ideally you could hit a button in the app store to get the trial, once it expires it'll take you back into the store to do your buying. In theory it's possible, don't think it's likely though. In App Purchases seamed to do a half assed job at solving the problem. I had expected a more elegant solution from Apple but…
Contact Forms
I find nothing more annoying then a contact form on the contact page of a website. Put some info on there. PLEASE! We have amazing spam filters and other ways to hide your address from spam crawlers.
Put your email address on their already.
Another plus, now people will know your email address to connect with you in LinkedIn!

If they didn't brand it as a music locker, maybe just a locker that COULD play music, would they even notice?
They have their head SO far up each others asses I don't think they know the sky is blue. I can't even come up with words to describe how idiotic they are on this issue. I'd like to come up with an insult but I'd be wating my time.
Do they know what evan a CD is? Have they used a computer?
He probably dictated this to his assistant who typed it out then mailed it to their nephew who is "good with computers."
I doubt they even know the definition on "public performance."
et over yourself and how bad your business model turned out to be when computers came along. There plenty of people with real talent making money without paying your "tax." You're over and redundant. Find a new way to make money just the same as the people you were screwing over did.
You have to make time
"5AM is my part of my day. It's 3 hours that I dedicate to my creative process. It's my investment in myself."
(Via . Why I wake up at 5AM. – visually captured)
I love early in the morning. Sure I have to be at work at 7, even when I don't I'm usually up before 6. I'm a morning person, I get things done then. I think it's what helps make me successful, prove me wrong. You can be too, stop making excuses.
How To Earn an UnFollow
This is a good example of things people don't like.
That is a DM from a company that is nothing more then an ad. Sure, tweet this stuff publicly but don't DM me that. I'm very private about my Twitter "inbox" and you just spammed me. You see, if it was an email there isn't much I could do but this isn't email it's Twitter. It's permission based and I no longer give you my permission to do this.

Read article to find out main reasons for Emma Watson weight gain
If you have been following the headlines, you must have noticed that there is sort of a buzz going on around Emma Watson weight gain. I must admit, at first I thought this is going to be one of these stories where the actress is photographed from a bad angle a couple of times and tabloids declare it the evidence that she has gained 20 pounds, just to withdraw (or contradict) their own words a couple of weeks later. However, after carefully looking through the pictures taken within a span of one year, I can conclude that Emma Watson weight gain is a real thing. Surely, 20 pounds are nowhere to be seen, but a slight transformation did happen. So let's try to find out what caused the young idol to gain weight and what her fans' reaction was.
I think Watson started piling on pounds right after the last scene of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows was shot. Of course, theoretically this could be just a coincidence, but this does not seem likely. It is more plausible that after the filming were over, Emma decided she has deserved some quality rest. Needless to say, for most people "resting" does not include sweating in a gym and is hardly imaginable without treating oneself with some delicious meals. So yes, I think the fact that she finally got the chance to go on holiday could be perfectly enough to explain Watson's weight gain.
However, there is yet another way to explain why Emma Watson weight gain started (or at least intensified) right after she stopped filming for Harry Potter. According to some sources, it was not that as soon as the cameras were out of her way, Emma jumped to the fridge and started eating like crazy. She just finally started following a healthy, normal diet. Meanwhile all the while on Harry Potter set, the young actress was almost starving herself. I have no proof that the source who told this story was reliable, thus you should not take it as a fact. However, it is something to think about… After all, Emma never denied that while working in Hollywood she felt the pressure to be skinny. Moreover, according to the starlet, the pressure mostly came from her female colleagues. All these speculations left aside, I must notice that most people see Emma Watson weight gain as a positive thing, and so do I.

Lance Bass is Spreading Germs
LANCE Bass needs to learn some basic hygiene. When the former boy-bander tried to use the bathroom at the Maritime Hotel's Hiro Lounge the other night, and found it full of folks smoking funny-smelling cigarettes, he threw a fit, relieved himself, and left without washing his hands. "He was banging on the door like a diva, yelling, 'What the [bleep] are you guys doing in there?' " said partygoer Malik Sterling, who saw the squabble. "Finally he just yelled, 'I just have to pee!' and he went in." When Bass was finished, Sterling said, "he wanted to make peace, so he shook everyone's hand. But he never washed his hands."

National annexes to the Eurocodes
A Eurocode can only be used in conjunction with a National Annex prepared by the
country in which the building will be built.
The National Annexes have originated because different countries have different requirements for buildings and building security due to political, climatic, historical or other reasons.
To accommodate these national differences, the Eurocodes include the possibility for each country to choose between different methods and values in certain areas. These choices are made once and for all at a national

Kay Ryan, a former Poet Laureate of the United States and a career English teacher at College of Marin, was honored by President Barrack Obama at the White House recently. Obama, who counts himself among Ryan's loyal readers, honored her as one of 24 recipients of the 2012 National Medal of Arts and National Humanities Medals.
"One of the special privileges of this office is getting a chance to honor individuals who've played an important role in my life as well as in the nation's life," Obama said in presenting the medals.
I have had the pleasure of hearing Ryan read her poetry several times and she has a dry wit and plain way with often-fancy words. I once heard her poems described as mousetraps, because they look simple and then – snap! – they've got you.
In 2008, the New York Times published this portfolio of her poetry, still available online for your reading pleasure. (Hint: For maximum pleasure, read them aloud, even if you're alone.)

5 wardrobe necessities for Spring 2015
The winter chills may not be fully shaken off just yet but we're getting there It may be the first week of March but in the true spirit of Irish weather, it's still absolutely feckin' baltic out there. Snow, rain and hail are still the order of the day and we cannot wait to rid ourselves of this permanent cold and permanent wet socks/hair/coats. Spring may technically be upon us but us Irish gals know that the winter-spring transition process can last from anywhere between two weeks and five months. With this unpredictable timing of when spring will actually be upon us, UFashion.ie has a few recommendations for a quick and easy way to get yourself spring ready (while not becoming a victim of frostbite that is!).


text: What to Know When Replacing Your Air Conditioner Posted June 6, 2016 Cooling, Installation What to Know When Replacing Your Air Conditioner When you start to investigate air conditioner replacement it's always crucial to remember that the decision you're making now will last you for the next 10-15 years. The team at Arnold's Air Conditioning of South Florida Inc in Stuart and West Palm Beach areas want to help you make the most out of your investment. We have some helpful tips you can keep in mind when the time comes for an air conditioner replacement. Properly Sized System From item price to the cost of operation, an incorrect sized system could affect you in multiple ways. Before choosing a replacement air conditioner you'll want to set up a time for a specialist to determine the load calculation of your home. In the past, load calculations were accomplished using an educated guess based on a home's square footage. Just like all technology, we've come a long way from those times and now load calculations take into consideration: your home's foundation, design and color of roofing, window type and location, insulation and several other things. Your Replacement Air Conditioner's SEER Rating The efficiency of your system is measured using something called a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating. The greater a system's SEER rating, the less energy is needed to cool your home, which could create lower utility bills. There are federally mandated minimum SEER ratings for new air conditioners based on region. While it may appear like deciding on the highest number would be best, there are some factors to think about such as: the climate in your location, how often you use your system and the length of time you'll be living in your home. Check for the Duct Damage and Leakage The air in your home is distributed by your ducts. If you're investing in a new system, there's no better opportunity for an expert to check and make sure your ducts are in decent condition and that you won't be losing efficiency through leaks. Along with leakage there are other problems that occur in your ducts that could cause you to lose efficiency such as: if they have any kinks, aren't large enough or have any obstructions within them. Your ductwork and their capability to easily move air throughout your home has a major impact on how well your system will perform. The experts here at Arnold's Air Conditioning of South Florida Inc in Stuart and West Palm Beach areas will help you through the entire process of air conditioner replacement and can answer any questions that may arise along the way. We know that a new system is a major investment and we want to be certain you're making the best decision for your home and budget.

Johan Reinhold keeps navigating and wowing multiple creative fields with the release of the self composed artwork for his new remix EP "Shoot Me Down Remix EP", proving that Johan is not only a first class musician that is taking the globe by storm, but he's also a hugely talented designer demonstrating great attention to finite detail that's apparent in both his design work and his music; Johan's work is nothing short of spectacular.
The world of design is not an unfamiliar place for Johan Reinhold, who's responsible for an award winning website that is the most impressive band website that has ever graced the internet highway. Information about Johan and his music subtly floats across the screen, wrapped in gentle, soothing pastels. Bird imagery offers strong symbolism and is a quirky thematic object that appears throughout the site. The artwork Johan has crafted always provoking wonder about its story.
Keeping with the idea that this EP is re-works of an existing work, Johan reworked the original "Shoot Me Down" artwork and gave it a re-mix itself. The new version which can be seen above shows the same dead bird but this time in an almost x-rayed state. The Grammy nominated artist has championed design and music as an art form, where he laces his tracks with the same intricate and delicate detail he does with his artwork, which bodes me to ask… "is there anything this man can't do?"
The "Shoot Me Down Remix EP" is available for free download everywhere on January 20th, 2012 and features amazing re-mixes by the likes of The Kill Van Kulls, Owsey and Frnknstyn which offers the listener everything from chill-out to dubstep.
Some more info about the fantastic producers whose remix work features on the EP can be found below:
Manchester's The Kill Van Kulls are a newly formed electronic-pop band with a cinematic edge. Their influences range from John Hughes soundtracks to Cut Copy and Phoenix. The band released two singles in 2011 – Fools Wish and Lost & Found – on their own label, and are currently preparing their debut album. Live dates have included Reading/Leeds Festival, and support slots with The Naked & Famous, Airborne Toxic Event and Mona. They have also completed remixes for Kyla La Grange, Icona Pop and MAY68 which can be streamed from www.thekillvankulls.com
Owsey, living in Northern Ireland is a DJ/ producer known carry an atmospheric trait. In the past, he have been known to collaborate with Sorrow under the "Sweetheart of Kairi" alias. Currently collaborating with CoMa, Stumbleine and Shura. However Owsey's remix projects seem to be some of his more popular material, most notably his remixes for Birdy.
Just 20 year old this wonderkid is already making a name for himself within the Dubstep circuit. Frnknstyn, a DJ/ musician from Auckland, New Zealand with plenty of remixes and original work under his belt. Despite being so young it is safe to say that Frnknstyns future is looking more than bright.
Shoot Me Down Remix EP Tracklisting:
1. Shoot Me Down
2. Shoot Me Down (Owsey Remix)
3. Shoot Me Down (The Kill Van Kulls Remix)
4. Shoot Me Down (FRNKNSTYN Remix)
AltSounds – "From the bustling Swedish Pop scene bursts forth an unbridled talent in Johan Reinhold and his new song 'Shoot Me Down' is your perfect introduction to his work. – 94%"
Allure of Sounds – "With its lush production and Johan's beautiful vocal, "Shoot Me Down" is catchy enough to have you reaching for the repeat button more than once."
Best in New Music – "Shoot Me Down is the new single from Swedish singer/songwriter, Johan Reinhold. A great taster of what's to come from the artist."
The Wounded Jukebox – "The electric guitar that begins "Shoot Me Down" piqued my interest immediately, and Johan Reinhold's skill at building up to and then getting heavy with the chorus makes the song a rewarding listen."

Olympic Games 1980
The Olympic Games, Moscow ~ The 1980 Olympic Games will be remembered for the American led boycott. The USA withdrew in protest at the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, other countries that supported the boycott included – New Zealand, West Germany, Norway and Canada.
The rowing events took place from 20th to 27th July 1980 at the Trade Union Olympic Sport Centre, Krylatskoye District, Moscow. The Garda Club were well represented on the Irish Olympic Team, which included – coxless pair of Willie Ryan and Pat Gannon, Christy O'Brien paired up with Denis Rice (Fermoy) and cox Liam Williams (Neptune) in the coxed pair, coxed IV members Ted Ryan and Joe Homan, substitute Andy McDonough, Coaches Jim Muldoon, Brendan Duane and Team Manager Peadar Casey.
Willie Ryan and Pat Gannon won the Petite Final and finished seventh overall. This was the second successive Olympic Games for a Garda crew to finish in seventh position in an open event, a standard not surpassed to this day. Frustratingly, our time in the Petite Final would have placed us fifth in the Grand Final. Christy O'Brien and Denis Rice (Fermoy) showed early promise, but unluckily, like many of the other Irish athletes took ill and did not row in the Petite Final. The coxed IV which included Ted Ryan and Joe Homan (Cox) finished in eleventh place.

Grand Final – Coxed Pair

The IARU Olympic report stated:
The living conditions were satisfactory. The change in climate and food was probably the cause of a number of cases of stomach upset, mostly of a minor nature, quickly taken care of by the Medical Officer. The rowing facilities and organisation for the Regatta were magnificent.
With fifteen countries entered the coxless pairs was the largest event of the regatta. In a heat with no stars, Ireland's coxless pair of Willie Ryan and Pat Gannon, were leading at halfway and comfortably took the third qualifying place into the semifinals, with Italy and France in front of them and Sweden and Guatemala behind them. In their semifinal, current form indicated that East Germany's Landvoigt twins, the World and Olympic title holders, would qualify with a terrific tussle between Austria, Ireland, Italy and Sweden for the final qualifying place. At 500 metres Ireland was in that crucial third place, but they slipped in the middle of the course to finish fifth with Sweden the third qualifier for the grand final. In the Petite Final Ireland raced well to take the lead at 1,500 metres, from where they held off a French challenge to win. Finishing in seventh place overall. East Germany won the Gold Medal, with USSR second and Great Britain third.

(Coxed Pair) The year's form indicated that East Germany the reigning Olympic Champions would be almost impossible to beat, but the competition for the other medals would be a titanic one between Romania, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, the Soviet Union and the sole challenger from the west, Ireland. Ireland's two silvers in Lucerne, ahead of the World Silver and Bronze Medallists and the other Olympic boycotting nations, excited everyone and the goodwill towards the Irish was enormous. In their heat they slipped back to finish only ahead of Cuba. It transpired that Christy O'Brien had been struck down with an upset stomach. Fortunately the repechage system gave a second chance and they had two days to throw off the effects of the illness. Unbelievably, Denis Rice was hit the same way the night before the repechage. They needed only to be second. They raced bravely showing their potential to lead Yugoslavia and Bulgaria at 500 metres, but the debilitating illness took its toll and from there they dropped back progressively to fourth place, behind a British crew that hadn't lived with them all year. Five days later Denis had still not recovered and the team Doctor advised that they should withdraw from the petite final. The Gold Medal was won by the East Germans with U.S.S.R. second and Yugoslavia finishing third.

(Coxed IV) With a total of twelve entries for this event, only one would qualify for the final from each heat and two from each repechage. In their heat Ireland was fifth for three-quarters of the race and came through Yugoslavia to take fourth. They finished fifth in the Petite Final ahead of Cuba and eleventh overall. East Germany won Gold with USSR second and Poland third.

Helping Our Veterans
Nov. 11 is Veterans Day, and while it was originally established to mark the end of World War I, it has since been expanded to honor all of our veterans and thank them for all they have done, and are still doing, for us.
I have long felt that we don't do enough for these brave men and women who have put their lives on the line to protect us and our way of life. We owe them a great debt for their service, and it is important to me that we honor that debt.
One of my major complaints on this front is that too many veterans here in Maine are homeless. According to the VFW, Maine Homeless Committee, there are about 860 homeless veterans in Maine. While there are many programs available for homeless veterans to ease their situation, the outreach to connect the veterans with these services is difficult. This last weekend, there was an event to help bring these veterans in and hook them up with the help they need to get back on their feet. It is called a "Homeless Veteran Stand-Down," and it was held at the Togus VA Medical Center in Augusta.
Stand-downs like this are modeled after events that happened during the Vietnam War, when troops were given a break from combat operations. At a stand down, veterans are given hot meals, clean clothes medical and dental care, and hot showers. These stand-downs have been an annual event at Togus, and have been scheduled traditionally at this time of year to help homeless veterans prepare for winter. At the stand-down last week, 71 homeless veterans came in from the cold.
While this is a good start, it is clearly not enough, and so this last session I put in a bill to do much more for our homeless veterans. The bill, entitled An Act To End Homelessness for Veterans in Maine, passed into law, and it calls for the director of the Bureau of Maine Veterans' Services to partner with a volunteer agency, such as the Volunteers of America, to carry out an offensive against homelessness for Maine's veterans. The effort will be based around an expanded system of stand-downs. These will take place at different times of the year and in different parts of the state to maximize the effectiveness of these events. They will also be coupled with increased efforts to identify homeless veterans. Additionally, the new law calls for the identification of housing and sources of funding for housing to get these veterans into a warm safe place.
I believe that this law will make a real impact on the problem of homelessness among Maine's veterans. These people have done so much on our behalf, and getting them into appropriate housing seems the least we can do for them. And if you can on Friday, take a moment and reflect on all that we owe our veterans.
If you'd like more information on this law, or if there is anything I can do for you in Augusta, please call my office at the State at 287-1515 or visit my website, www.mainesenate.org/diamond to send me an e-mail.

Easy to work with. Chuck was very concerned that he taught our dog where his boundaries are before turning on electronic. Used only a tone in the beginning. He followed up with us after first training (only a little slow in responding to my email for help). He will return today or tomorrow to see how things are going. Excellent dog trainer.

Rick Ross did NOT father a secret child in Florida three years ago — so says the results of a court-ordered DNA test in the rapper's recent paternity case.
TMZ broke the story … 36-year-old Tyrisha Childers filed a paternity lawsuit against Ross last year — claiming the rapper knocked her up a few years ago … and never paid a dime for child support.
Rick fired back, insisting he never even slept with Childers — let alone fathered her baby — so the court ordered both parties to submit to a DNA test.
Well, the results are in — and according to the test, there's a zero percent chance Rick's the dad.
Childers has since voluntarily dismissed her case, which means Rick's a free man.

Sad News For IPv6
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007
On IRC I was pointed to this very interesting, and kind of depressing, article about the IPv6 security issue on Airport routers.
As someone who's done a lot of work on an IM client fighting NATs and firewalls, IPv6 was often alluded to as a future utopia where everything would be perfect, and we wouldn't have to deal with UPnP or NAT-PMP or ICE or STUN — it was our version of relaxing in a hammock on a tropical island.
Now, we're stuck in, basically, the same boat. We might be able to uniquely identify a host, but if we both can't punch through the NAT we're still dead in the water.
What's most unbelievable to me, though, is the suggestion by Fred Baker, of Cisco, at the end of the article. Sorry, mucking around with your router's configuration is far too advanced for someone just trying to send files over an Instant Messenger. It's a horrible solution, and if anyone who thinks otherwise has got quite the reality check coming their way. Although, Cisco does makes its money on training courses teaching you how to configure your braindead router that should Just Work, so it's not all that surprising a suggestion, really.
I wonder we'll ever get to that island with the hammock. Right now, looks like we're going to crash into a reef first.

3 Reasons everyone should try comics
Everyone should try comics, and here's reasons why.
Reason 1: There is a comic book for everyone. There is no reason why anyone shouldn't read comics. There are thousands if not millions of comics and all sorts of genres, whether stereotypical superheros or zombie apocalypses, awkward romance comics or even mysteries. Comics are just another medium. Whether a book, a TV show, a movie or a play: they just tell a story.
Reason 2: A large amount of TV shows and movies are based on comic books. Speaking of mediums, comics are often transferred into other mediums. For those of you with decent movie taste or TV show interest, you've probably seen something that was originally a comic, whether that's the recent Batman trilogy, or that *cough* dreadful excuse for a "Superman" movie or something else. V for Vendetta, Sin City, 300, Watchmen, The Walking Dead, Arrow, Smallville, The Mask. Some of those are clearly better than others, but nonetheless they all have their roots in comics. Some of them much better as comics. A good story is always interesting. We should be constantly looking for a good story whether in animation to Toy Story or the Lion King to regular live action acting. We crave adventure, and comics provide it. Some of the best stories ever told have been in comics. They ask important questions, often without answers. If you can't see what I mean, read Watchmen. Alan Moore asks questions that shake and shape our society one of which is what is more important world peace or true justice?
Reason 3: The characters you meet at a comic shop are almost as original as the ones in the comic books themselves. If you are down on 9th street talking to our own comic book crowd with Dave or Gary working the counter and Tilly hanging out, you'll see that these people are incredibly original, the kind of people you won't find anywhere else. They're brutally honest and will be the first to tell you not only when something is wrong or bad in comics, but also when they're right and good. Dave is one of the kindest people you will ever meet, whether helping you find a comic you're looking for or talking about the latest comic film or show with you for hours on end. Tilly will find you comics you wouldn't have ever seen yourself; reading some of them will expand your horizons, lead you to find something really amazing and some of them will make you miss what you used to read. Gary is great with conversation as well but, he has a special knack for showing you the comics with original or interesting art and sometimes even some of his own drawings. Spending a day like Wednesday (New Comic Book Day) in the store is always interesting because people tend to keep coming back. The environment of a comic store is more of a community that just happens to have a store in it. When you don't get involved with these stories, you miss a group of people that really embodies the originality of culture.
Those are 3 reasons everyone should try comics. Because comics are just an original medium, they can tell stories that are good, bad, great, awful but more importantly they bring together not only interesting ideas but interesting people.
