I haven't cross stitched much this week. I have been very tired, especially today. I don't know if it is the weather or if I have some type of bug, but I have been very lazy today. Anyway, instead of cross stitching, I have been sewing. I made a pair of pajama pants for my dad for Father's Day. He was very happy. Apparently, his old pajamas are beyond repair. That got me started on a sewing frenzy.
I finished my summer and fall stitching bags also. This is a project that Lisha and I signed up for at our local quilt shop. We learned to make these really nice charm totes. Well, if you know how to make one, why not make lots. I made two last year, a winter tote and a spring tote. I then made one for my mother for Christmas and my sister for her birthday. Well, I pulled out the supplies and finished my summer and winter totes.
Now, I can change with the seasons. Nicholas thinks I should have one for each day of the week. (Careful, boy. You shouldn't make those types of suggestions to a person with my type of personality.)
Finally, I finished Nicholas's rag quilt. Isn't it adorable? It was very easy. I have the material to make one for Patrick, so maybe I will work on that next month.
Hopefully, I will get more cross stitching done over the weekend. We are getting together at my younger sister's house this weekend to stitch and talk. I'll let you know how that goes...
Have a great weekend!

Two finishes this week...
I finished LK ABC Lessons this weekend. I think it is so pretty on this fabric and can't wait to have it framed. This was a very nice piece to stitch. It was easy enough to stitch while watching TV.
My other finish is O'Starry Night from Little by Little. Very easy pattern and very cute. It is stitched on Smoky Blue Lugana (28 ct) from Silkweaver. Isn't it perfect? This would make a very pretty ornament.
The past few days have been so busy that stitching time has been limited. Hopefully, once the next few tasks on the textbook are completed I can relax a little bit. Also, I have declared a ban on buying any new patterns or fabric during July. The stash is getting a bit outrageous. There are at least 3 kitted patterns in my "to do" pile that I can work on, not to mention all of those UFOs and WIPs. If I focus on some of these projects, maybe my savings balance will increase over the next month. Who wants to be my accountability partner? Lisha?

Shopping Spree Saturday!!!
Shakespeare's Peddler is having a Cyber Sidewalk Sale and she has some really amazing prices. Earlier in the week, I purchased two patterns that were on my wishlist: Holly and a pattern for Tournicoton. Well, today, I decided to drive into Hattiesburg and shop the patterns to see if there were any that I just had to have. What a great idea! I picked up lots of great patterns at really great prices. Everything that I bought was 50% off the original price. I love the Just Nan Christmas Biscornus and was excited to see that there was one in the sale box. Even the embellishment packs were on sale! If you are interested you can check out the specials at Shakespeare's Peddler website.
I did purchase one item that was not in the sidewalk sale: Just Nan Bunny Charm Garden Pin. Isn't this just adorable? There are several in the series including bugs and a hedgehog. I really want to collect several of these because they are so pretty and detailed.
Though I have been very busy with work and gardening (spent all day yesterday at my parents' farm picking and snapping beans), I did get some stitching done this week. I have made some progress on LK ABC Lessons. I am certain that I can finish this piece in the next week or so. A Weary World Rejoices is taking a bit longer than I expected. I love stitching on it, but I made a mistake on one of the windows. Instead of putting it down and starting something else, I forced myself to make the correction and stitch on it the rest of the evening. I am glad that I did because I was able to finish all of the motifs on the bottom half of the pattern. I still need to finish the side borders. I really think the top half will be faster stitching. Hope to finish it by the end of the month.
Thanks for stopping by and all the nice comments. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Hey everyone,
I am looking to expand my collection of the new "bad" Dragon Knights from the Castle 2013 sets.
I can get 3 copies of the Forest Ambush set. I will trade the Lion Knights for the Dragon Knights.
Let me know if you would be up for a fig swap.

left: The Woodstock Emperor gong is a dynamic addition to the garden. The bronze gong catches and reflects the sunlight brightening your garden while the subtle tones evoke a sense of peace. right: The lyrical ring of delicate garden bells brings wonderful music to a quiet garden.
Step into your garden, close your eyes and listen. What do you hear? Does your garden sound as pretty as it looks? Along with texture, color and fragrance, sounds help create a unique environment in your garden. Enhancing and manipulating these sounds make you the backyard conductor of your own garden orchestra. Composing a garden symphony is easy, just start with what you already have and build on it. So grab your wand (trowel) and begin.
The gentle hum of Mother Nature's beauty is a great foundation. The sound of running water, the rustling of foliage, the call of birds and the buzz of bees create the underscore of your garden. Preserving and enhancing these garden sounds is a priority. Providing birdhouses, and nesting areas for wildlife will ensure a steady supply of natural sounds. Planting flowers that attract insects and bees will help keep these natural musicians in your garden.
left: An outdoor water fountain enriches the garden with mesmerizing water sounds while also providing visual stimulation. top right: A large fountain makes a grand statement in the garden. It can block out unwanted background noises while adding a distinct element of elegance. bottom right: A gently cascading waterfall is the most soothing of all sounds in a garden. Stacking flat stones is a perfect method of imitating the natural flow of water while enhancing the visual appeal of your garden.
Consider a fountain, brook or waterfall as the string section of your symphony. Rustling leaves murmuring in the wind add harmony. And when creating your garden's design, choose plants that not only look good but "sound" good as well. Bamboo shoots braying side by side create rhythm. These are the woodwinds. Trees such as beech and oak cling to their leaves long into the winter where the whipping winds create soulful sounds. Soft hemlocks and pines can help mute unwanted noises by providing a green sound barrier while crescendos of dropping acorns add the element of surprise.
Metal gongs and silver wind chimes make up the brass section. Chimes, gongs and bells fill the air with a variety of sound. The addition of hand-tuned musical metal brings healing sounds to your patio or garden. The tranquil melodies of these outdoor musical instruments, powered by nature's gentle breezes add to the harmony of your garden. Their physical movement contributes to the overall intrigue of the composition.
left: Rain chains and bells softly contribute to the sounds in the garden. Placing a rain barrel underneath enhances the sound of the falling rain while also conserving water. center: Wind chimes come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials and are one of the most common sources of garden sounds. right: A garden bell hung near an entryway or gate is said to attract luck. Just another reason to include one in your garden.
Sometimes, the natural world brings an element of sound to brighten up your garden. Big fuzzy bees like these create a soothing hum as they go about finding nectar and spreading pollen.
Bullfrogs and cicadas are the percussion in the symphonic garden. Lush plants and secluded ponds foster habitats that will encourage these natives to keep the beat. Raindrops hitting the surface of a birdbath or dripping from a gutter chain also help keep time in the garden. Wind socks, wind spinners and flags crack and thrash in the current adding their voice to the garden song.
When creating your garden symphony leave no stone unturned. Consider walkways, wind chimes, flags, plants and fountains as your instruments. Their movements should harmonize with each other while creating distinctive sounds of their own. The most interesting garden symphonies combine a wide array of sounds. A well-balanced garden symphony will combine natures beauty with man made accessories to create a melodious paradise restorative to the soul.

text: johnhughthom Posted May 30, 2012 Just a rant thread, not meant to be taken seriously. What is it with Wolves in this flipping game? Try to set up a game where the Premier League European spots, and relegation places are taken up by the correct teams to start a game beginning at the start of the 2012-13 season as accurately as possible. I did it this time last year with FM11 quite easily. So I start a game with the Swedish League start date, looking to get a position with the table as close as possible. Every time I get something close I see Wolves in something like 5th or 6th. WTF!!! Every single time! I would need to save/reload every match to get the relegated. I can get the top six or so relatively close. Blackburn and Bolton down there. Even the Championship sitting nicely to get the correct three teams up. Why. Won't. Wolves. Play. Ball?!?!?!? Rant over. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

a dense cake, not very tall. I substituted canned cherries for the raspberries. Everyone liked it.
Dec 2, 2010
We have reviewed this recipe due to the comment below. The recipe is correct at two 3-ounce packages of cream cheese. Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese comes in 3 and 8 ounce packages. However, if you can't find the smaller one, use 6 ounces from a larger package.Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Dec 1, 2010
I made this cake for a bake sale at work and it was pretty straight forward on how to make it. It tasted good and I made it look pretty darn close to what the picture looks like.NOTE: There is a BIG typo in the filling. It's two 8 ounce packages of cream cheese (not 3 ounce). Also, I needed at least 4 drops of food coloring to get a decent pink for the center.If I decide to make this again, I would probably put buttercream frosting on the outside instead of whipped topping. It seems like cheating and whipped topping isn't all that fun to work with when 'frosting' a cake. But that's just me.
Feb 16, 2010
Would not make this again. The instructions were not useful and could not get the cake to turn out right. The cake was also really dry and just did not turn out like the picture.

Although Jordanian news media enjoy greater freedom than the press in many other Arab countries, the kingdom took a significant step backward with the approval of amendments to the Press and Publications Law in September 2012. The law imposed new restrictions on online news content, required sites to obtain official licenses, and gave the authorities powers to block domestic and international websites. Journalists, outraged by the move, protested against the government, and website owners refused to apply for licenses. Criticism of the royal family or the monarchy remained off-limits for all media. One journalist was detained for three weeks for writing an article that alleged misconduct in the Royal Court, and a critical blogger was stabbed by an unidentified assailant after she published an article criticizing Prince Hassan bin Talal.
Under the amendments to the press law, at least 400 news websites were required to obtain government licenses, the same regulations imposed on print publications, The Associated Press reported.
|Sites are forbidden to insult the royal family, publish anything contrary to "Arab-Islamic values," incite sectarian strife, and slander public officials.
|Any website in violation of the law, including non-Jordanian websites, can be blocked by the government without a court order.
Intermediary liability
|Electronic media owners and their employees are responsible for ensuring that published user comments do not violate Jordanian laws.
Police interrogated blogger Enass Musallam for six hours on the day she was discharged from a hospital. Musallam had been stabbed by a masked man who said he was acting "in the name of his royal majesty and the prince." The blogger had published an article that said Prince Hassan bin Talal had been condescending and insulting in his public comments about street protests. The police interrogation appeared intended to intimidate Musallam. She said police repeatedly called her a liar and said she would not be allowed to continue her education.
February 19:
|Article is published.
February 20:
|Masked man stabs Musallam.
February 22:
|Government releases public statement saying the attack was a disagreement between friends.
February 26:
|Musallam is discharged from the hospital and called in for police questioning.
February 27:
|Musallam is called back to the police station and told she imagined everything.
A website could be fined the equivalent of US$14,000 if a posted user comment is found in violation of the press law amendments.
Jamal al-Muhtaseb, publisher and owner of the news website Gerasa News and editor of the weekly Al-Mir'aa, was detained for 21 days on anti-state charges in connection with a Gerasa News article that alleged misconduct by the Royal Court, news reports said. The charges were pending in late year.

My husband's really tall Will he fit?
My husband's really tall Will he fit?
Roadster is small. That big fellow will have a difficult time to get into that car, but I believe that after he has managed to fold himself there he can fit there. Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear did and he is 6'6" tall. At least with roof off.
This may help
Shows a tall Tesla employee getting into a Roadster.
My brother is 6'6" and he had no problem as a passenger or a driver in my roadster. He could totally function, see clearly, stretch his legs, etc. (P.S. He really wants one now, too.)
My father and I are both 6'4" and can fit comfortably in the Roadster. It is a bit of a stretch getting in and out but quite doable. I've driven long 400 mile days in it.
A not particularly flexible, 6'6" friend of mine does have problems getting into a driving position and a 6'9 person rode in the passenger seat once but didn't appear to have a chance of squeezing behind the wheel.
I'm 6"1 and fold the top back to get in. Once in, it's very comfortable. Oppening and closing the top while inside is not hard once you get the knack of doing it.
Of course, without the top, weather permitting, it's no problem.
I doubt that I could use the car if I had bought the hardtop.
My wife keeps joking that she'll make a "Yoga for Tesla Owners" video. But seriously, I'm also 6'1", and find that once you develop a knack for it there's no trouble. (I'm 55 and not very flexible any more either...) I do use the hardtop in winter.
The tall person youtube video above, seems to make it become very easy after a few practice tries, to develope a routine, just like everything else in life, we get it right after awhile!
I actually find that once you are in the car, the hardtop provides a bit more headroom than the soft-top.
I am 6"3 tall and had minor problems of visibility of the street. A problem is, I can't see the speedometer. No space issues, there is enough leg- and headroom.
Your husband will fit in perfectly. And that is a great video @dsm363, it really shows lots of ways to get into the vehicle. I love my Tesla, I bought this car because I wanted to contribute to the environment but also I wanted a higher end vehicle. It is great that you are purchasing this vehicle as opposed to vehicles that require petroleum. This car won't let you down, I have had my Tesla Roadster for 2 years now, truly a driving experience.
No, he will need to have a few vertebrae removed. Fairly cheap in Mexico.
I'm 6'7" and I do fit into my Roadster, albeit just barely. I have found it far more comfortable to take my shoes off so my feet fit in the deep but very narrow footwell.
I don't normally pop the top to get in and out, but it's essential at the drive up espresso!
I think the hard top has just slightly less head room. The soft top can be pushed up a bit to stretch out for a moment on a long drive. I really wonder what that looks like from outside.
It's also possible to bend up 2 new stays just slightly longer to get a little more headroom.
The biggest problem is the steering wheel. It's way too low, and there's no way to adjust it. Makes getting in and out far more difficult than it needs to be, and I can't see the speedo without bending down. I use the digital speedo on the touchscreen a lot!
I used to be asked "How tall are you?" a LOT. Now it's always "How do you get in that tiny little car?"
Butt first!
@bigbill | NOVEMBER 19, 2012: The soft top can be pushed up a bit to stretch out for a moment on a long drive.
Aren't you concerned if you were to have a rollover accident?

If I were to stay that way, yes, but not if it's just for a moment.

Natalie Gordon necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 48 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
We are launching a new website that will help connect Spanish-speaking English learners with English-speaking Spanish learners. The site helps users have more targeted conversations that are guided by topics and interests, thus helping users expand their speaking ability and get beyond small talk. The site connects users for conversations using an embedded voice/video app.
We are looking for a design for an sample page of a Spanish-Englishlanguage learning site. The page should be the homepage of a user who islogged in and is currently receiving a message from another user tochat (see What I Want section for more details)
We are looking for a very clean, Web 2.0 design that is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helps create anenjoyable user experience. We have already chosen a logo so alldesigns should incorporate this logo into the site design. The logocan be found at http://99designs.com/contests/21523…#entry-104
lenguajero.com is a website that pairs language learners and nativespeakers together for conversations. Students find partners bychoosing topics they would like to talk about from a pre-defined listof interesting topics (eg. current event, youtube video, etc.).Students then prepare for the conversation which is held in bothlanguages. Additionally, users can add their own topics and requestlearning help from a native speaker. Our goal is to enable users tomove beyond the small-talk that normally occurs on other languageexchange sites (see site list below). We're currently only thinking of making the site available to Spanish and English learners.
This site is aimed at anyone who is either an English speaker learning Spanish, or a Spanish speaker learning English. While anyone could be using our site we predict that the average user will between 18-35 years old, have a working knowledge of the language they are learning, and be motivated to practice speaking their second language.
The site design should invite users to have conversations (i.e. it should be easy to navigate, easy to find a language partner, and easy to initiate a conversation).
While I have listed some specific desires in the following "what I want" section, we are also open to a creative web 2.0 navigational approach and invite you to submit anything that you feel is an alternative approach to the standard navigational model (99designs.com is an excellent example of this approach)
List of Language Exchange Sites (Note: We are looking for our own style and do not want a copy of any of these sites.)
busuu.com, livemocha.com, sharedtalk.com, italki.com
Incorporate existing logo
Blend well with the integrated voice and chat app (http://www.tokbox.com)
Homepage should include:
- Top bar navigation for the following pages:- Home, Profile, Message Box, User Search, Groups
User Sign In/ Sign Out in top right hand corner
List of users which shows available users who haveselected a topic(s) and what those topic(s) are. You should be able toinitiate a conversation from this list. Should display user's:
- photo

- learning language
- level.
List of today's popular topics. (Each topic will have it's page that is linked to from the list.)

What could go wrong? The Obama administration quietly let this one leak out in a Friday afternoon news dump, which seems to have worked; few people noted the retreat on ICANN, even the qualified retreat described by the Washington Post:
U.S. officials announced plans Friday to relinquish federal government control over the administration of the Internet, a move that pleased international critics but alarmed some business leaders and others who rely on the smooth functioning of the Web.
Pressure to let go of the final vestiges of U.S. authority over the system of Web addresses and domain names that organize the Internet has been building for more than a decade and was supercharged by the backlash last year to revelations about National Security Agency surveillance.
The change would end the long-running contract between the Commerce Department and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a California-based nonprofit group. That contract is set to expire next year but could be extended if the transition plan is not complete.
"We look forward to ICANN convening stakeholders across the global Internet community to craft an appropriate transition plan," Lawrence E. Strickling, assistant secretary of commerce for communications and information, said in a statement.
That would be just peachy, if … the aggregated stakeholders in the Internet all thought free expression was a great idea. That, however, is a mighty big if. The United Nations recently passed a resolution attempting to shut down any criticism of Islam, and Russia just spent the last two weeks locking out any websites that dissented from its military incursion into Crimea, for just two examples of what the brave new world of the Internet might look like under non-US control.
ICANN, after all, controls the entire Internet through its assignment and management of domain names. It hasn't been a perfect steward of that responsibility by any measure, but I'd trust it a lot more than I'd trust the United Nations to service those requests. It would be bad enough to have a unilateral organization of liberal democracies running it, with all of the inherent confusion and inefficiencies that would produce. Add in the malevolence of dictatorships, kleptocracies, and flat-out lunatic regimes being given the keys to suppressing criticism from all corners of the plant rather than just the ability to intercede in their own fiefdoms, and you have the recipe for utter disaster.
I for one cannot wait to have China imposing filters on my Bing searches. Or to see the hotair.com domain get threatened for criticizing the new regime. Er … yay.
Republicans sense an opportunity developing:
The Obama administration's decision to relinquish oversight over the group that manages the Internet's architecture has raised an early red flag with Republicans, who blast the move as a threat to free speech. …
Exactly who would regulate the Web's back-end is unclear, but the decision already has sparked backlash among some in the GOP, who warn it could allow the United Nations or authoritarian countries to step in and seize control of the Web.
"While I certainly agree our nation must stridently review our procedures regarding surveillance in light of the NSA controversy, to put ourselves in a situation where censorship-laden governments like China or Russia could take a firm hold on the Internet itself is truly a scary thought," Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) said. "I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Senate Commerce Committee and with the Commerce Department on this, because — to be blunt — the 'global internet community' this would empower has no First Amendment."
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, minutes after the Friday announcement, tweeted: "Every American should worry about Obama giving up control of the Internet to an undefined group. This is very, very dangerous."
And that's just a start.
"This is red meat for the base," said former Rep. Mary Bono (R-Calif.), who sponsored a resolution in 2012 aimed at keeping the Internet free of governmental control. "We're at a critical time where [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is proving he is capable of outmaneuvering the administration. … As they digest it, I think people are going to be very upset."
Part of this is driven by the NSA's activities on the Internet, but moving the control from ICANN isn't going to prevent that in the future anyway. Meanwhile, our recent fecklessness in foreign policy doesn't exactly build confidence that this administration will demand respect for free speech in an Internet partially controlled by players such as China and Russia. Whoever thought this was a good moment for this change should have their head examined.

|Starter? Reliever? Time will tell
On January 6th the Padres sent Anthony Rizzo and RHP Zach Cates to Chicago for RHP Andrew Cashner and OF Kyung-Min Na.
Cashner is a former first-round draft pick of the Cubs (19th overall in 2008), so he has talent. However, he lost the 2011 season after straining the rotator cuff in his throwing arm in April of last year. He apparently successfully rehabilitated it with rest and physical therapy, as he threw 10 2/3 innings in September. Cashner hurt his shoulder during a start, which explains why the Padres think he'll eventually be a starter. It is his only major-league start to date.
Cashner has value but at this point in his career it is uncertain if that will be as a starter or reliever. He's also a big risk for the Padres, in that the club acquired a recently-injured pitcher. Yes he passed his physical, but that is no guarantee he won't hurt that arm during spring training. Heck Adam Wainwright passed his physical prior to 2011 spring training and then missed the entire year to Tommy John surgery.
|So much for the Anthony Rizzo Era.
But that was not going to help him in Petco. The Padres (and their fans) soon learned, to their dismay, that Anthony Rizzo was a completely different hitter from Adrian Gonzalez. Gonzo's strength revolved around his opposite-field power. He posted a .808 OPS at Petco largely because of his ability to hit the ball out to left. Rizzo is a dead-pull left-handed power hitter playing in a ballpark that is death to dead-pull left-handed power hitters.
By all accounts, Rizzo is a mentally tough, courageous, great character guy who happens to play baseball. He's beaten cancer at the ripe old age of 22. Jed Hoyer knew him from his time with the Red Sox and obviously thinks very highly of him. But even great character guys are susceptible to the same doubts that plague you and I. Watching balls he crushed get knocked down in straight-away right, or go into the 411-foot triangle in RC before being caught, can get to the most mentally tough individual. Ask Ryan Ludwick - and he was hitting to left.
Which brings us to Hoyer. Jed relieved Kevin Towers following the 2009 season and was obviously charged with rebuilding the Padres minor league system. He, along with Jason McLeod, did just that; in fact, San Diego's farm was recently ranked as the best in MLB by ESPN's Keith Law. But I think it's safe to say they made a mistake when they acquired Anthony Rizzo for the Padres. His power did not play well in downtown San Diego.
Since that blockbuster trade prior to the 2011 season, Hoyer (and McLeod) have moved on to Chicago's North Side, where Former Red Sox GM Theo Epstein had also relocated. They reunited with Rizzo via this trade. At Wrigley Rizzo's power should play very well, whether the wind is blowing out or not. The Padres also got a very pleasant surprise in Jesus Guzman's play last season, and traded ace Mat Latos for Yonder Alonso (among others), whom we will talk about in a future post.
Not discussed above, but certainly factoring in the decision to ship Rizzo out of town, are the number of players in the Padre farm system who can play first at the major league level. We've mentioned Guzman and Alonso, but San Diego also has Kyle Blanks who can play the bag. First base is one position where the Padres have a lot of options and can't give each guy lots of at-bats. They're also not going to carry 4 guys on the ML bench who can play first - that's just silly.
So the Padres acquired a recently injured potential starting pitcher for the best prospect in their farm system. This trade may turn out to be a wash, but today it looks pretty lopsided in favor of the Cubs.

Welcome to the Florida Office of Public Counsel.
The Office of Public Counsel is established by the
Florida Legislature

(Real Simple) -- Feel as if you're about to snap? Learn what causes stress, along with proven strategies for controlling it.
If you're going through a stressful period, fight the urge to snack endlessly and try to exercise regularly.
You just swore at a guy who cut you off on the way to work. Your children have taken to calling you the Wicked Witch. You start daydreaming about cocktail hour shortly after lunch. And your mind always seems to be in a whirl. What's your problem?
In a word: stress.
You're not alone. Nearly half of all Americans are concerned about the level of stress in their lives, according to the American Psychological Association's 2006 Stress Survey.
Chalk it up to "our overscheduled, harried 21st-century lifestyle, which can wreak havoc with our relationships and our work," says Bruce S. McEwen, M.D., a coauthor of The End of Stress as We Know It (Joseph Henry, $20, amazon.com).
Not to mention our health. Chronic stress weakens the immune system and increases the risk for a range of illnesses, including heart disease and depression.
Stress drives people to eat too much, sleep too little, skimp on exercise, and shortchange fun. It doesn't have to be toxic; a little stress can sharpen focus, improve memory, and heighten emotions.
But sometimes good stress goes bad, and researchers have just begun to figure out how. "By understanding what makes it go wrong," says McEwen, "we have the power to make it right." RealSimple.com: Banish a bad mood in 15 minutes
How stress works
In an ideal world, stressors such as fire alarms and demanding bosses would simply keep you out of danger and on your toes.
In the real world, however, these things can make you sick. Here's why.
The stress response
In its most basic form, the stress response is known as "fight or flight," and it swings into action whenever you're confronted with a novel or threatening situation.
"If you step off the curb in front of an oncoming bus, your body reacts automatically to protect you," says Esther M. Sternberg, M.D., author of The Balance Within: The Science Connecting Health and Emotions (Henry Holt, $16, amazon.com).
In a matter of seconds and without even thinking, you begin pumping out brain chemicals and hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol.
Your heart rate accelerates, oxygen-bearing red blood cells flood the bloodstream, the immune system gears up for the possibility of injury, and energy resources are diverted to your muscles, brain, heart, and lungs and away from functions, such as digestion and hunger, that can wait until the crisis has passed.
Meanwhile, the brain releases a cascade of endorphins, the body's natural opiates, to dull the pain of those potential injuries. RealSimple.com: 36 low-cost, make-you-smile ideas
You're ready for action, whether it's a full-out battle or a hasty retreat in this case, fleeing back onto the sidewalk to escape the speeding bus.
When the danger has passed, all these systems are restored to their normal resting state. "Your stress response makes you get out of danger," says Sternberg. "Without it, you'd be dead."
Many of the physical changes that energize you to get out of the way of the bus are the same ones at work in more positive situations. Your heart races when you're falling in love.
Your palms grow sweaty on the first day of a new job. How do you know if it's happiness or stress? You label what you're feeling: Your racing heart and sweaty palms come first, and whether you perceive yourself to be excited or happy or stressed depends on your assessment of the circumstances. In other words, you're not running because you're scared; you're scared because you're running.
"Our stress isn't a result of the event but of the view we take of it," says Ellen J. Langer, a professor of psychology at Harvard University. "If the event is seen as negative, then we've set ourselves up to experience stress." RealSimple.com: Easy ways to unwind
Things go awry when stress persists and your body has no opportunity to return to its resting state.
Escape the oncoming bus and you're obviously out of danger. Calm returns both physiologically and emotionally. Your pulse slows, and the panic subsides. No problem.
But getting back to normal is much more complicated when the source of your stress is constant and negative and when fighting or fleeing is not an option: when you're constantly worrying about not having enough money to retire, for example, or when you're trapped in an unfulfilling job.
"The human mind is so powerful, the connections between perception and physiology so strong," says Bruce S. McEwen, M.D., "that we can set off a stress response by just imagining ourselves in a confrontation with the boss."
Emotional stressors such as frustration with a job or a relationship can accumulate until the fight-or-flight response is constantly ramping up. "We become overloaded," says McEwen, who is also a professor of neuroendocrinology at Rockefeller University, in New York City.
"As a result, we begin to feel tired, edgy, and rundown. Eventually this state veers toward illness." Unless, that is, you put the brakes on from time to time. McEwen and his colleagues found that rats kept under significant stress for five weeks developed a seriously impaired immune response.
But if the stress was alleviated for one week, the immune system began to bounce back.
Who is most at risk?
"There's no doubt that the physiology that fuels a chronic stress response can make us sick," says Esther M. Sternberg, M.D. But it doesn't "cause" heart attacks or depression in the way a virus causes the flu.
How your body responds to stress depends in part on your genes. Take an autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis. "There are 20 different genes on 15 different chromosomes that determine whether or not a person will get inflammatory arthritis," says Sternberg. "If you have all 20 genes, you'll most likely get it. If you have two, you probably won't. If you have five, you may or may not get the disease, and the degree to which your stress response is activated could tip the balance."
Your physiological destiny isn't completely fixed, however.
Although we're programmed to develop in a certain way and at certain times, early stressful experiences, such as the death of a parent, can alter the way our brains develop and actually change them. "We now know that when children are exposed to a stressor early in life, perhaps even before birth, their immune and endocrine systems are affected," says Bruce S. McEwen, M.D.
As a result, those people tend to be more sensitive to stressors later in life and are more likely to suffer the health consequences.
Stress and your immune system
The dual nature of stress, both protective and destructive, is mirrored in the dual role of cortisol, a hormone central to fight or flight. In an emergency, a jolt of physiological chemicals, including cortisol, boosts your immune response -- a good thing.
Once the emergency has passed, however, it is also cortisol's job to inform the immune system to return to normal. If too much stress keeps excess cortisol circulating for too long, your immune cells become sluggish and eventually die, leaving you open to infection.
In some people, the body is not able to produce enough cortisol. In these cases, the immune response runs amok, attacking friend and foe alike, eventually taking aim at the body's own cells.
The result can be autoimmune disease, allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome, or asthma.
Cortisol also directs where your body stores fat, planting more on the belly, where it increases your risk of diabetes and heart disease.
This is especially troublesome for women, who, if not for stress, would probably deposit fat on the hips and the thighs, where it's less harmful.
What about the flip side? If too much stress makes you sick, can minimizing stress help you heal? Maybe. A growing number of medical facilities are approaching this question through integrative programs that help patients control illnesses by controlling stress.
One of the oldest is the Center for Mindfulness, at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, in Worcester. "We teach patients mindfulness practices, including mindful breathing, yoga, and meditation," says Melissa Blacker, a codirector of professional education and training at the center.
"Our research suggests that the training can be helpful for people managing conditions like psoriasis, recurrent prostate cancer, and even hot flashes."
You can control stress
If you feel chronically overwhelmed, try shifting your perspective. Rather than seeing stress as something on the outside pushing in, see yourself pushing it away, and consider these proven ways to get out from under its grip.
• Take charge: "When I ask general audiences if they can control their stress level to make it work for them, no more than half say they can," says Esther M. Sternberg, M.D. "If I ask audiences of pilots or neurosurgeons the same question, they all say they can."
The difference is the amount of control these people believe they have over the situation. Pilots, neurosurgeons, firefighters, and others with high- pressure occupations are trained to use the stress response as a way to monitor their own behavior.
When a pilot flies a plane through a storm, his heart races, his breath becomes shallow, and his attention is intensely focused on the job at hand. He experiences the physiological arousal that defines stress, but he doesn't label the situation as stressful. He's done this before. He knows what to expect. He's in control.
On the other hand, if you're a passenger in the airplane cabin, you're uncomfortable because the plane is bouncing around and you can't do anything about it. You feel stressed. "The trick in these kinds of situations is to make yourself feel, little by little, as though you're in control, to make an unknowable situation seem knowable," Sternberg says.
Watch the flight attendant. He has the experience to recognize how much danger the plane is in. If he looks calm (and he probably does), you'll feel calmer.
If your work schedule sets your teeth to grinding, make a list of projects you need to get done and front-load it with tasks you can accomplish quickly. As you check off accomplishments, you'll begin to feel in control, and your stress will ease.
Try scheduling daily chores so that you can attack the most difficult ones when your energy level is highest. And delegate. Not just to coworkers but also to your children, your spouse, and your friends.
• Give yourself time-outs: Of course, you can't control everything. Your child's schedule will inevitably conflict with your work deadlines.
Bad weather will flood the picnic. "We know that chronic stress has a physical impact on your body," Esther M. Sternberg, M.D., says, but if you interrupt stressful moments with calm ones, "you can lessen that impact."
And it's easier than you think to get positive results. If you have a series of crushing deadlines looming at work, take some R&R in between them. A weekend at the beach can restore your equilibrium.
Distract yourself with something you find soothing: Cook, knit, or break out the watercolors. And if you can't take off for the afternoon when you feel your stress rising at the office, just get out for a walk. Even a short stroll can make a difference.
• Reach out, don't retreat: For women, fight or flight should probably be called "tend or befriend," because their response to stress is less about fighting or fleeing and more about turning to family and friends, according to Shelley E. Taylor, a professor of psychology at UCLA, and her colleagues.
Women have more intimate social networks than men do, and when they're stressed, they turn to these networks for support. They're more likely to seek out the company of other women and less likely to flee or to fight.
A stress response moderated by a system such as tend or befriend, as Taylor reported in the July 2000 Psychological Review, might help explain why women live five years longer, on average, than men.
So indulge in the pleasure of family and friends. Invite old pals to a women's night out. Call your sister. Recent studies show that Americans are feeling more isolated; try to fight that situation. It may help you live longer.
• Eat moderately and keep moving: The same hormones that boost your body's supply of available energy in fending off an impending threat also tell your brain that you need to replenish that energy once it's used up.
The result: Your cortisol-crazed psyche sends you on the prowl for all-too-fattening pizza, potato chips, and ice cream in an effort to refuel quickly. If you're going through a stressful period, fight the urge to snack endlessly. Preferably, eat small low-carb, low-fat meals.
And try to exercise regularly.
Working out counteracts the unhealthy buildup of body fat and dissipates the nervous energy that often drives you to that carton of ice cream. The exercise doesn't have to be strenuous.
Walking releases endorphins that can soothe a jangled mind. And even half an hour a day can ease insomnia, which is both a symptom of stress and a stressor.
• Practice mindful relaxation: Physiologically, relaxation is the opposite of stress. When you're relaxed, your breathing and heart rate slow and your mind clears. Mindfulness is a way to achieve this level of relaxation using a variety of techniques, including yoga, meditation, and simple relaxation exercises.
Mindfulness quiets your chattering mind by teaching you how to observe your thoughts and feelings without seeing them as positive or negative. It trains you to use your breathing and an awareness of your body to focus on the here and now.
The basic relaxation response was first described in 1975 by Harvard Medical School researcher Herbert Benson.
His approach has two steps: First, close your eyes and focus on your breath (that's the foundation). Second, choose a phrase, a word, or a prayer and repeat it to stay in the moment and be mindful. "I use two phrases," says Bernadette Johnson, director of integrative medicine at Greenwich Hospital, in Connecticut. "'I'm breathing in relaxation and peace' when I inhale. 'I'm breathing out tension and anxiety' on the exhale."
Ideally, you'd begin and end your day with 10 to 20 minutes of regular relaxation exercise. But should you find your tension rising during the day, "take a deep breath, hold it for a count of four, and exhale for a count of four," Johnson says. "That's what we call a mini, and if it's built on a foundation of regular, longer relaxation exercises, you can tap into it whenever you need it."
If a thought or an emotion intrudes on your mindfulness and threatens to take you out of the moment, observe it but don't react to it.
Think of it as a leaf floating by on a slow-moving stream:
Why did I snap at my husband?
Inhale. Let it glide on by.
I'm so afraid I'm not going to finish that report in time.
Exhale. Ah, another leaf in the swirling current.
I'm so stressed-out.
Not anymore.

Schroders Quickview: Russia weathers the oil storm
Russian GDP contracted less than expected in the first quarter. A return to positive growth seems likely in the not too distant future.
First quarter Russian GDP surprised positively, contracting 1.2% year-on-year rather than the 2% expected, and much better than the 3.8% contraction of the final quarter of 2015. The economy looks to be weathering the oil price slump better than anticipated.
The early GDP release does not contain a breakdown of the data, so we will have to wait to see what has driven this better-than-expected performance. However, it likely reflects the advantages of allowing the currency to perform a large share of the adjustment to the oil slump and economic slowdown. Other commodity producers would do well to take lessons from Russia on this point. The rouble fell in line with oil and has remained at weakened levels as oil remains relatively range-bound. As a result, the current account surplus has grown; we expect net exports to have supported growth.
The weaker currency looks to have prompted a shift in the economy towards the tradeables sector as Russian industrial competitiveness has been boosted. High frequency data supports this view, with the consumer sector still struggling even as industrial production begins to recover. We still expect a small negative for growth this year, but risks look to the upside and a return to positive growth in the near future seems likely.

"Figure Skating is for Little Girls", a flick
Thanks to Required Elements jcm has discovered just the sort of thing that he loves to share…an alternative and irreverant take on figure skating. The oft squashed yin to the more typical bright, cheerful yang of how skating is reflected publicly (ok, so I overuse this metaphor). I revel in both!:
Figure Skating is for Little Girls,
by Liam Dougherty: "A one man show about eating disorders, sparkles, and violent personal shame."
It is being featured at The Montreal Fringe Festival (details here). Here is an excerpt of his own introduction to the film.
This guy was (and perhaps is?) a legitimate competive ice dancer, becoming the 2003 Junior Canadian Ice Dance Champion (with partner Melissa Piperno), and was supposedly a short-time early career partner of Tanith Belbin. It appears he was a very promising skater, emerging with Piperno from the shadows of Bourne and Kraatz, after their exit from competitive skating.
His perspective promises to cause some controversy, and frankly seems genuinely wounded. Perhaps he is bristling from not reaching the heights his promise alluded to? But, I'm guessing it's just his edgy sense of humor, and way of talking about a sport he clearly has a love/hate relationship with, which is most amusing when he mocks the oh-so-tight and pretty attire he donned. OR, more exactly, I imagine he loves the sport, but hates the "culture" of skating, as it is currently manifested itself. The fact that he's easy on the eyes makes this discovery all the more enticing. (Looks like he's dabbling in dance now.)

Research shows that African-American and other communities of color are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change and air pollution, but are underrepresented in the electricity planning process, particularly in Georgia. With a solution in mind, a number of nonprofit organizations will gather for a community discussion of how to combat the issue.
A metro Atlanta energy equity forum, "Equity Matters," will be co-hosted by seven Georgia-based nonprofits with the goal of developing mutually beneficial strategies for energy equity in the region.
Partnership for Southern Equity, Fulton-Atlanta Community Action Authority, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, GreenLaw, Georgia Watch, Center for Sustainable Communities and Concerned Black Clergy of Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc. have formed an energy equity coalition to increase community engagement in the discussion of how low-income communities and communities of color are impacted by the burden of and benefits of energy production.
"The Equity Matter's forum brings community leaders together to identify steps towards Energy Equity in metro Atlanta and highlight the importance of authentic community engagement in utility company's decision making," said a statement from GreenLaw, a non-profit law firm serving environmental and community organizations.
"Low-income communities and communities of color are more likely to be exposed to air pollution and are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. They stand to benefit the most from energy efficiency and employment programs that help lower bills. Unfortunately, these communities are under-represented in Georgia's electricity planning process."
The event will take place from 6:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. at the Fulton Atlanta Community Action Agency, located at 341 Kelly St. SE, Atlanta, Ga., 30312. It is open to the public and refreshments will be served.
Dr. Marilyn Brown, a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, will be present, according to Greenlaw, as well as other environmental justice and equality community leaders.

Bottoms up
Many kitchens come equipped with a few too many gadgets, courtesy of late-night shopping habits. A lot of health-conscious eaters are no exception, purchasing home-juicing machines on impulse with visions of cleanses and fruit shakes dancing in their heads. Unfortunately, juicing machines are a bit like stationary bikes. Since elbow grease is required, healthy recipes get jettisoned in favor of convenience.
Rather than designate juicers to some dark corner, think how much better cocktails and coolers can taste using the freshest ingredients possible, incorporating the natural sweetness of fruits and vegetables instead of unnecessary additives and corn syrup. The next time you're looking for a relaxing beverage, try one of these juicer-inspired cocktails and coolers.

Accrual Accounting
System of accounting where items are brought to account and included in the financial statements as they are earned or incurred, rather than as they are received or paid.
Accumulated Depreciation
The aggregate depreciation recorded for a particular depreciating asset.
Administered Items
Expenses, revenues, assets or liabilities managed by agencies on behalf of the Commonwealth. Agencies do not control administered items. Administered expenses include grants, subsidies and benefits. In many cases, administered expenses fund the delivery of third party outputs.
Additional estimates
Where amounts appropriated at Budget time are insufficient, Parliament may appropriate more funds to portfolios through the Additional Estimates Acts.
An authorisation by Parliament to spend moneys from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for a particular purpose.
Annual Appropriation
Two appropriation Bills are introduced into Parliament in May and comprise the Budget for the financial year beginning 1 July. Further Bills are introduced later in the financial year as part of the additional estimates. Parliamentary departments have their own appropriations.
Capital expenditure
Expenditure by an agency on capital projects, for example purchasing a building.
Consolidated Revenue Fund
Section 81 of the Constitution stipulates that all revenue raised or money received by the Commonwealth forms the one consolidated revenue fund (CRF). The CRF is not a bank account. The Official Public Account reflects most of the operations of the CRF.
Departmental items
Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that are controlled by the agency in providing its outputs. Departmental items would generally include computers, plant and equipment assets used by agencies in providing goods and services and most employee expenses, supplier costs and other administrative expenses incurred.
Apportionment of an asset's capital value as an expense over its estimated useful life to take account of normal usage, obsolescence, or the passage of time.
Equity or net assets
Residual interest in the assets of an entity after deduction of its liabilities.
Total value of all of the resources consumed in producing goods and services or the loss of future economic benefits in the form of reductions in assets or increases in liabilities of an entity.
Intermediate outcomes
More specific medium-term impacts (eg. trend data, targets or milestones) below the level of the planned outcomes specified in the Budget. A combination of several intermediate outcomes can at times be considered as a proxy for determining the achievement of outcomes or progress towards outcomes. (See outcomes)
Operating result
Equals revenue less expense.
An outcome is the intended result, consequence or impact of Government actions on the Australian community.
One of the three key efficiency indicators. The amount the government or the community pays for the delivery of agreed outputs.
Activity that delivers benefits, services or transfer payment to individuals, industry and/or the community as a whole, with the aim of achieving the intended result specified in an outcome statement.
One of the three key efficiency indicators. Relates to the characteristics by which customers or stakeholders judge an organisation, product or service. Assessment of quality involves use of information gathered from interested parties to identify differences between user's expectations and experiences.
Total value of resources earned or received to cover the production of goods and services.
Special Account
Balances existing within the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) that are supported by standing appropriations (Financial Management and Accountability (FMA) Act 1997, ss.20 and 21). Special accounts allow money in the CRF to be acknowledged as set-aside (hypothecated) for a particular purpose. Amounts credited to a Special Account may only be spent for the purposes of the Special Account. Special Accounts can only be established by a written determination of the Finance Minister (s.20 FMA Act) or through an Act of Parliament (referred to in s.21 of the FMA Act).
Special Appropriations
An amount of money appropriated by a particular Act of Parliament for a specific purpose and number of years. For special appropriations the authority to withdraw funds from the Consolidated Revenue Fund does not generally cease at the end of the financial year.
Standing appropriations are a sub‑category consisting of ongoing special appropriations — the amount appropriated will depend on circumstances specified in the legislation.
