The Reliant Robin whilst comparatively noisy inside is a great fun car to own and drive and always gets attention. If offers excellent fuel economy and is cheap to maintain though the MOT on older models can sometimes present a shocking bill. Despite its size the engine gives lusty performance and will easily keep up with everyday traffic. Its four seats offer a fairly comfortable but slightly cramped ride for two adults and 2 small people though whilst not impossible longer journeys for tall people will need a break to stretch your legs. For the motorcyclist though the Robin offers great weather protection for those cold frosty days when you really dont want to take the bike out. Things to look out for are leaks in the rear window as the seals tend to go. I quite often found a pool of water on the rear parcel shelf after a good downpour. Its quite easy to fix though.

The car is very good it offers good mpg its very basic and parts have to be ordered. Its a pig to work on the engine and the king pin is a pain to replace it also costs a fortune to have major engine work done but its very fun to drive you certainly get noticed it keeps up with motorway speeds although you would need to take a break every so often to check engine coolant levels and they are prone to leaks also oil leaks can be a problem. I'm hoping to get my car on the road again soon, its been off the road for the last 7 months.

I was given a Robin and although a little skeptical at first Ill give any thing a go. So after 2 weeks lying under it fixing it, it was on the road. Impression; great, fun, nippy-ish, practical, moved a 5ft fridge freezer in it with door closed economical - 45 mpg at worst. On working out the cost of a years motoring excluding petrol and insurance it came to £175 for the year. Would get another and have done several times.

Manufactured: 1981. Engine: 848cc
Like its predecessor the Rialto offers great fuel consumption and economic running cost. The Rialto is slightly better than the Robin in a number of ways as whilst it shares the same 848cc engine the chassis is galvanised and due to its wedged shape, offers better road handling at higher speeds, and if you put your foot down it wont hang about. People always think of Reliants as slow cars, maybe in the olden days they were but since the launch of the Robin, Reliants offer a respectable speed touching 96 mph if pushed hard. Against the Rialto though it just seems to lack the charm of the Robin. The Rialto looks a much more practical car and doesnt have that cute & fun factor as a lady friend once told me. On earlier versions rear access is via a hatch door below the window at the back. It wont leak but its a nightmare if you want to load the rear as you can only half fill it from the back. You then have to load the rest through the side door.

Manufactured: 1989. Engine: 848cc
Eccentric but efficient.
Like all Reliant 3-wheelers, it has plus and minus points. For: Fun to drive, light controls with superb feedback and response. When serviced properly its very reliable and economical, fair amount of luggage room, especially the van and hatchback models. Cheap to run and simple in construction, parts are available still for even old models in most cases. Against: Needs a sense of humour to own and maintain. Jokes are well known, and the maintenance involves some clever ideas in those awkward spaces. Not a motorway car but terrific on B and C roads. Limited room in rear seats. Verdict: Worth trying, you might love them.

A Bikers First Impressions.
Coming from two failed car tests and 20 years on motorcycles, for me the Rialto was a much needed solution to the winter blues. 4-wheeler driving friends trot out the usual jokes and the yellow paint job draws a few cries of Del Boy as we motor around. Fortunately I have the stereo turned up loud to drown out the engine noise and bodywork rattles and squeaks so I rarely hear the catcalls. The sunroof makes the interior nice and light, but having to clean the seal and lube it regularly to stop it leaking is a pain. Compared to a modern bike engine the Reliant 850 is a simple unit. I struggle to understand how the carburettor works but everything else looks easy to work on. However the lack of workspace in the engine bay has had me cursing already. The original dim 45W yellow tungsten headlamp bulbs have been junked and replaced by 60/55W halogens so that I can see where I am going at night. At some point Ill have to fit a Lumenition kit to get rid of that infernal ignition points gapping & cleaning embuggerance. Have no illusions It takes an age for the engine to warm up and pull cleanly. You can see the dashboard moving as you turn the wheel in 3-point turns. The interior trim & finish is very poor. The noise as already mentioned at any speed over 40mph is quite intrusive. Steep hills need to be attacked in 2nd gear at 20mph. People just pull out in front of you as if you dont exist. Everyone will want to overtake you whether there is space for them to do it or not. The Rialto is not a+ abe magnet. Having run the poor car down so much I wouldnt be without my Rialto now. It can be fun to drive within its 3-wheel limits, sips petrol costs £60 a year for road tax + carries more than 1 passenger and much more stuff than you can ever get on a bike. You dont have to struggle into all your bike gear if you want to go to the supermarket and you can turn up at social functions looking vaguely human. Ive hardly ridden my bike in the winter since I got the Rialto. Bearing the above in mind this biker gives the Resin Rocket a thumbs-up.
I submitted a review of my 1988 Rialto recently. In it, I made a comment that it would only go up steep hills at 20mph in 2nd gear. The car went in to to Keygate in Chatham have a replacement radiator fitted under warranty recently. It seems that a combination of ignition components breaking down, a gummed-up carburettor and my relative inexperience had conspired against the little car and that the timing was out and the fuel mixture was super-lean. Keygate sorted all this out gratis and I can't heap enough praise on them. The Rialto pulls like a train now, a lot of the noise and vibration has died down and the engine is a lot easier to start in the morning. I feel that my original review has done the Rialto a disservice.

Sounds to me like it's better to wait for GNUtls to be fixed before supporting it. If it's that broken, it seems likely that there are bugs which you haven't found too, which maybe someone can exploit. TLS is not something one it's nice to expecet bugs in... Or if you need to support if for some reason, maybe don't support a configure option, just something like env ol_cv_use_broken_gnutls ./configure -- Regards, Hallvard

Maple Syrup Migrating
Currently, the best times to tap maple trees are within an eight-week window from late winter to early spring when temperatures cause freezing at night and thawing by day. By 2100, Northeast producers can expect to begin tapping maples closer to Christmas.
Sap flow is related to pressure changes in the trees' xylem, which are tubes beneath the bark that carry sap from the maple's roots up to the leaves. As maple trees freeze in winter, gases are pushed out of the xylem into surrounding tissues, and negative pressure is created within the xylem compared with atmospheric pressure. When the trees thaw, the gases expand and dissolve back into the sap, creating positive pressure. When tapped, the sap flows out because the pressure inside the xylem is greater than outside.
Based on this principle, researchers identified that the best days for sap flow are when diurnal temperatures swing at least a few degrees below freezing at night to a few degrees above freezing by day.
They scaled down global climate computer models to regional scales to determine daily temperatures for 10,000 locations across the sugar maple's range -- from North Carolina to Quebec to Minnesota, with optimal production areas in the Northeast and Quebec -- from 1970 to 2100. In this way, the researchers could identify daily minimum and maximum temperatures during optimal eight-week windows for tapping sugar maples.
By "backcasting," they validated their models with temperature data, which revealed that start dates for tapping maples in the Northeast are about a week earlier than in 1970.
Under a high carbon dioxide emissions computer model scenario, syrup production will decline slightly in the Northeast, mostly after 2030. According to the study, by 2100, the average number of flow days will stay constant in Saranac, N.Y.; decline by about two days in State College, Pa.; five days in Montpelier, Vt.; and by 10 days in Jackman, Maine. In a more moderate emissions scenario, producers will lose about half as many days in each location. Similarly, in the high emissions scenario, start dates for tapping maples will be earlier by about a month between now and 2100: In Jackman, the current optimal start date of March 11 shifted to early February; in Saranac and Montpelier, the current start date of March 1 moved ahead to Feb. 1; and in State College and Ithaca, N.Y., start dates advanced to mid-January from mid-February.
Maple syrup production south of Pennsylvania will likely be lost by 2100 due to lack of freezing, while production in Quebec may benefit from climate changes.

A 36-year-old man identified as Victor Ezewuodo has been arrested by the Liberia National Police in connection with Human Trafficking.
Suspect Victor Ikenna Ezewuodo was arrested on August 2, 2013 and charged with the commission of the crime of illicit trafficking of human beings and migrant sumuggling.
Yasmi Mohammed has left her sick mother at home in Morocco after promise of a job in Liberia, she agreed to travel far West of Africa to get a better shot at life to care for her sick mother.
Details emerging from the ongoing police investigation into a sex trade and human trafficking case involving two Lebanese nationals here, have linked the Chief Inspector of the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization (BIN), Jebah Jabateh.
Cross border child trafficking is reportedly widespread in the Mano River Union (MRU) basin, and rights organization in the region have called on governments of the four MRU countries to act to halt the menace.
Four child's rights organizations in the Mano River Union (MRU) basin, including the Defense for Children International Liberia (DCI-Liberia) have urged governments of member states to tackle cross-border child trafficking.
In a chat with this paper upon return to the country from Freetown, Sierra Leone, the Executive Director of DCI-Liberia, Foday Kawah, said cross-border child trafficking remains a post-conflict creeping menace that must be tackled quickly in the Mano River region.
The Ministry of Gender and Development has alarmed over the increase in children involvement in prostitution across the country.
The Gender Base Violence (GBV) Coordinator of the Ministry, Madam Deddeh Kwekwe told a gathering of journalists and religious leaders that the issue of child prostitution was a serious problem and that there is a need to involve everyone in the effort to curtail it.
"In Lebanon, we have over the years provided thousands of job opportunities for different countries nationalities who have worked there and have honestly earned their living with no complain of "human trafficking or sex slavery", but I wonder why Liberians continue to brand us as promoting human trafficking and levying all sorts of allegations against us," were the words of Lebanese businessman Mr.
Finance Minister Amara M. Konneh yesterday alarmed that Liberian children are being exploited, which paints a blur picture for the country's future and its dream of achieving a middle income status by 2030.

Academic journal article The Historian
Patrick Henry: First among Patriots
Article excerpt
Patrick Henry: First Among Patriots. By Thomas S. Kidd. (New York, NY: Basic Books, 2011. Pp. xiii, 291. $28.00.)
This new biography of Patrick Henry will find a wide readership. Writing for a popular audience, Thomas S. Kidd provides a sketch of Henry's life and an overview of the revolutionary conflict with Great Britain. The Patrick Henry that emerges from its pages should be a darling of the Tea Party of the early twenty-first century. Stridently for state's rights, Henry opposed the United States Constitution because he saw its oversized government as a threat to the liberty for which he had become so great a spokesman. Moreover, he advocated government support for Christian religion while encouraging the disestablishment of a single church. This appeal to the political Right is intentional: Kidd's final words are, "in 1776, Patrick Henry's ideals of liberty, religion, a moral society, small government, and local politics were essential principles upon which America was built" (254). Moreover, the reviewer's copy of the book outlines the national marketing strategy, which includes using a "conservative radio campaign" to publicize the book.
Whatever the popular response to the book, many professional historians will be disappointed. The portrayal of both the Revolution and Patrick Henry is monodimensional. Ignoring divisions within American society and the idea that the Revolution was an Anglo-American civil war, Kidd writes, "The era summoned heroic personalities like his [Henry's], men who were called to defend America's liberties with political and moral fervor" (66). Similarly, Kidd implies on one page that there were hardly any Loyalists after Dunmore's proclamation offering freedom to slaves and two pages later refers to the persistence of Loyalists in the Tidewater (110, 112). …

Durham Regional Police officials were elated this morning as shovels broke ground for the new Durham Region Administrative Facility.
Durham Regional Police Service Board Chair Bob Boychyn joined Police Chief Kevin McAlpine, Deputy-Chiefs Rod Piukkala and Chuck Mercier and members of Regional Council for the ceremonial event.
Many administrative units of the Durham Regional Police will join the region at this new facility in early 2005, including senior executives, Records, Finance, Facilities, and Human Resources. Currently, these departments are located at two facilities; on the second floor of the Oshawa Community Police Office and an office complex on Champlain Avenue in Whitby.
The $67.7 million regional government headquarters, to be located at Rossland Road in Whitby, Ontario, will bring together under one roof various regional departments and services that are presently dispersed at locations throughout Durham.
One of the main advantages of constructing the new building is the cost savings from leasing or renting commercial space. The facility will also ensure streamlined communications and processes between the police and regional government departments and give citizens "one stop shopping" for municipal services.

Stylemaker Secrets: How to Mix Anything
Find Your Bridge Pattern
For beginner pattern mixers, it's often easiest to start with a 'bridge' pattern that you love. Make sure that your bridge pattern has at least four to six colors in it (if not more). Then find two other patterns in different scales, using one or two of the colors in the bridge pattern. Then, find one solid texture that pulls a color from the bridge pattern.
-- Erin Souder, founder of Grandiflora and blogger
Curate as You Go
To get the perfect mix, I think it's best to take your time. Gradually, you will find things from different travels and shops -- both online and brick-and-mortar -- that show off your style and what you love.
-- Camila Pavone, interior decorator and blogger
Rule of Threes
I like to use the rule of threes when pattern mixing -- one large, one medium, and one small-scale print. Try to keep the color palette similar or coordinating throughout to ensure a cohesive look.
-- Britany Simon, designer and HGTV Design Star finalist
Fab Finishes
Give your space eye-catching appeal with the right mix of finishes. Stylist Evette Rios shares her tried-and-true tricks for creating a beautiful room.
Color Unity
The key to successful mixology is color unity. And I am not talking about matchy matchy colors. Simply select a color palette of about three colors, and play around with the analogous colors in that family.
-- Darlene Weir, owner and principal interior designer of Fieldstone Hill Design
Go Bold
Stripes are my absolute favorite! I love mixing different stripe sizes together to get a bold look. Stripes also can be paired with feminine patterns (think: polka dots) or something more masculine like gingham and still look gorgeous!
-- Tina Ramchandani, founder of interior design firm Tina Ramchandani Creative and blogger
Pull Spaces Together
I tend to pull spaces and collections together with color. From there, I love unexpected pattern combinations -- things like romantic florals with ethnic-inspired tile prints.
-- Khristian A. Howell, color and pattern expert
Raid Your Wardrobe
Taking cues from the way you dress is always a good idea. It will help you see what colors, metals, or patterns work well together, and you can intentionally look for them as you decorate your home.
-- Camila Pavone, interior decorator and blogger
Mix Masculine and Feminine
I like to use opposites when mixing patterns and often will play with masculine and feminine -- think animal prints with a bold floral, or stripes with polka dots.
-- Britany Simon, designer and HGTV Design Star finalist
Play with Scale
The trick to mixing patterns is to play with scale. One of my favorite combinations is a thin black and white stripe with a boldly scaled, highly saturated abstract pattern.
-- Sarah Sarna, founder of Sarah Sarna Interior Design and blogger
Have Fun
Once you know your dreamy color palette, have a complete ball with your pattern mixing. No more rules! Other than the rule above all rules: decorate with what you love!
-- Darlene Weir, owner and principal interior designer of Fieldstone Hill Design

I thought I had escaped the "Mummy Guilt" phenomenon but it has finally crept in, surreptitiously and spanked me on the bum. Hard.
It has only kicked in recently, since Hunter has been old enough to "Do Stuff". Swimming, baby groups, music groups, Tumble Tots etc, etc.
I rarely take him to any of this fun stuff. He also doesn't go to nursery because I don't really work away from home these days (I write when he is napping or in bed) so it makes more financial sense for me to stay at home and look after him and save money. (And the nursery fees are expensive aren't they, Working Families?)
So why is my darling son missing out on all this fun shizzle? Well, even though I have a cleaner once a fortnight, I still find that a good deal of my time is spent tidying, cooking and washing. (I'm a bit of a neat freak. I know: DULL).
However, the main problem is that the routine we have found ourselves in is seemingly at complete odds with everyone else, and I am at a loss as to how to change it, or indeed whether I should.
Hunter has always napped in the morning and continues to do so. He's up between 6am and 7am and back in his cot by 9am or 10am. He sleeps for between two and three hours then wakes up and has lunch.
He has a brief nap in the afternoon around 3pm too. (Sometimes he resists this one though). From my investigations online and by asking neighbours etc., most activity groups happen right around the time he is in the land of nod.
I have tried keeping him awake and taking him anyway, but invariably it ends up being no fun for either of us, as he's too tired and fractious to enjoy himself anyway.
So we end up hanging on our own then bimbling along to the park after lunch. And, hello! There's the guilt…
He runs around like a toddler demented, trying to make friends with every passing child on the slide and I feel so bad that I'm depriving him of all the wonderful socialising out there for the taking, provided your kids have the far more common lunchtime nap…
Is it my fault? Should I be trying harder to change his routine? But with another little one coming in a matter of weeks, I'm not sure I really have the time or the energy.
I feel like a Mean Mummy.
What I will say is this though: if you run a mother and baby group, it might be worth seeing how many other mums have a routine like mine. I feel there's a bit of a niche in the market!
Am I the only mum whose child doesn't have a lunchtime nap?
Please tell me I'm not alone…

Live Music + LEGOs: LEGO DUPLO Kidzone at Newport Folk Festival
I have been attending music festivals for years now, generally favoring the folk and celtic genres. Most of these festivals bill themselves as family friendly and provide dedicated music or craft tents aimed at kids, and sometimes even offer a few small rides and midway-type attractions. I had never given the kids aspect much thought, but now that I am paying a bit more attention I noticed that one of the ultimate folk festivals ever created is offering what could be considered the ultimate kids entertainment. A tent full of music and Legos.
The Newport Folk Festival and Legos are both classics in their respective fields, so it is natural for them to join forces and offer the Lego Duplo Kidzone at this year's festival. It is a shaded area within earshot of the main stage where families can go to have some fun out of the sun. Not only will there be Legos to be played with, but music will be provided by Elizabeth Mitchell, a shining light in the world of children's music. Sure, the cynical view is to see this as a massive product placement ploy. But I prefer to see it as a great festival going out of its way to make seeing live music a true family affair.

Bat surveys are being conducted as roadworks on a major artery into the city centre continue.
A section of Golden Way was widened from Cop Lane towards Preston earlier this year. Now as expansion works of the A582 to complete the dual-carriageway along Golden Way between Leyland Road and the Broad Oak roundabout, next to Booth's supermarket continues Lancashire County Council revealed they are still assessing the impact the work will have on wildlife near the road. Phil Wilson, project manager for City Deal, said: "We're currently carrying out ecological, environmental and wildlife surveys in this area, in preparation for possible road improvements – including the proposed widening of the A582 towards the M65.
Bats are still under threat from building and development work that affects roosts, loss of habitat and the severing of commuting routes by roads.
"These surveys allow us to see what sensitive wildlife and ecology is in the area, introduce measures to avoid disturbing it and mitigate the impact as far as possible."
The Bat Conservation Trust said the behaviour and patterns of bat populations can give us an insight into the state of the environment.
A spokesman for the BCT said: "Bats are protected by law because of the severe declines they have experienced in the past through habitat loss, agricultural intensification, roost destruction, pesticides and deliberate killing.
"Bats are still under threat from building and development work that affects roosts, loss of habitat and the severing of commuting routes by roads. Bats are a vital part of our native wildlife and they can tell us a lot about the state of the environment, as they are top predators of common nocturnal insects and are sensitive to changes in land use."
The county council revealed changes to the current expansion plans for the A582 would require planning permission.
A spokesman said: "Proposed future changes to the roads in this area, including the widening of the A582 and the completion of Penwortham Bypass, will need planning permission, which would include further consultation and chances for people to comment. The A582 is one of Central Lancashire's busiest roads. This aim is to relieve congestion and encourage economic growth across the area."

In the 70s, they were an elite unit. With names like Brick, Champ, Brian and Ron, they rose like the phoenix and then they were gone. Their legend became but a whisper told by the trees until now.
It's hard to believe that a little less than a decade ago we were introduced to Ron Burgundy and the Channel 4 News team. Directed by Adam McKay, Anchorman 2 picks up on Ron Burgundy at a transitional point in his life and career—he and his team are being recruited to join a 24-hour news channel in New York City in the early 1980s.
The enticing clips from the film are pretty hilarious, with several delightful throwbacks to the first film. Though it is common knowledge that celebs like Harrison Ford, Kanye West, Nicole Kidman and Tina Fey make appearances in Anchorman 2, we're pleased that the trailer reveals very little about the nature of their cameos, a refreshing difference from the usual overwrought previews that give away all laughs long before films hit theaters.
Based on the trailer, we have gleaned five other hopeful signs that Anchorman 2 will more than live up to the hilarity standard set by its predecessor. The key members of the original cast—Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell and Christina Applegate—will all reprise their roles. So how can Anchorman: The Legend Continues fail to be funny? After all, they've done studies about sequels and, 60% of the time, they work every time.
The first film took place in San Diego in the 1970s and truly immersed itself in the best and worst of the decade. From feathered hair on the women to truly hideous pantsuits on the men, Anchorman was a feast for the eyes. Judging by the footage in the trailer for the sequel, the filmmakers are once again going for period-accurate costumes (spandex, leather and fur) and hair (think: big) down to the most minute details. Even Brian Fantana's briefs are authentic 80s artifacts.
Sequels are always striving to be bigger and better, which usually means big-name actors and movie star cameos. The cast of Anchorman 2 is following form. James Marsden appears to be taking over Vince Vaughn's role as Ron Burgundy's rival while Kristen Wigg will step in as the love interest for the inept Brick Tamland.
The addition we're most excited about, however, is the underrated Meagan Good ("Californication," Think Like a Man), who seems to play a news anchorish character who eventually becomes Ron Burgundy's girlfriend. I know what you're thinking: WHAT ABOUT VERONICA? We're worried too, guys. Hopefully, Veronica Corningstone and Ron Burgundy can reunite.
Before Uggie in The Artist, before Cosmo in Beginners, there was Baxter, who faced many dangers, including bears, to reunite with his owner in Anchorman. We're pleased that the delightful pooch from the first movie is back at Ron Burgundy's side. You may recall that Burgundy once called him "a minute Buddha, covered in hair," and it appears that Baxter will exude the same Zen-like qualities. You couldn't ask for a better doggie sidekick.
Speaking of Meagan Good, the end of the trailer heavily features Ron Burgundy at dinner with her entire family, all African Americans. From the 20 seconds or so of footage, we firmly believe that this scene will join other classic uncomfortable family dinner scenes in cinema history like the ones in Annie Hall, The House of Yes, The Family Stone, and Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? We are cringing and laughing already when Ferrell's sheltered Burgundy declares, "I'm breaking down the barriers of race by assimilation. And on that note which one of you convicts with the longest record can pass me the mashed potatoes?"
One of the most memorable scenes from Anchorman has Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd, never better) showing off his potent cologne, Sex Panther by Odeon, which is allegedly illegal in nine countries. From the Anchorman 2 trailer, we get only a brief glimpse of Fantana posing in a pair of tiny underwear, but it's safe to assume that he must be launching a fragrance of his own. Any guesses on potential names?

St Thomas, the myth
St. Thomas' two skeletons (Mylapore, India; Ortona, Italy)
Can you name the only Saint who left behind his two skeletions?: One was the skeleton as a youth (Found in Mylapore, Chennai), and the second skeleton as an old man (Found in Ortona, Italy). St. Thomas deserves a Bollywood movie to celebrate creationism.

Ramadan, the fasting month for Muslims worldwide. A time where individuals reflect on reading Quran, internalize its meanings and try our best to implement its teachings into belief, purpose and a just social cause. Holding the rope of faith that is given to each individual, then at sunset breaking of the fast; to experience a feeling of appreciation. After 12 or 14 hours of fasting; a reality sets in and it tells you something like, "life is more precious than before…be thankful"
What does it all Mean?
Each day, the fast initiates a hunger seeking comfort, upon breaking we find that comfort and it's associated with a fresh awareness. For some there is no time for idle talk, but reflections are pondered during every bite and drink. Thoughtful ponders come to mind such as… How can I revive my faith, why have I wasted time both social and professionally, everyone is married but me… duh
Some serious and simple thoughts all occur. Then after completing the Sunset Prayer (Mahgrib Salat), a sense for reviving life occupies the mind and body. We have a revival of courage, a feeling to try harder for what absolutely matters. Begin applying the faith (Iman) we have read into our life. Feeling like a wonder twin, activating our super powers! The fast can have an extraordinary effect, a feeling we attempt to stretch out until the sighting of the next Ramadan. It is a constant stage of redevelopment.
Report to our Destiny!
Chapter 3 Verse 103 "…hold fast all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided Among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's Favor on you…" (reading the entire verse, really stimulates a truth within)
"I pray … your fast is easy, we revive and redevelop our Ansaari nature for community and bond."
Today (Tuesday) I broke fast with a big cup of ice water, turkey roll-ups and cantaloupe with a bowl of noodles, it was good and I'm thankful for the meal….
Wisdom Wednesday are reminders for social conversations – the sharing of honest opinions and wise ideals. All of us have a value worth sharing; it may motivate another to stop, continue and/or begin a certain process in our personal growth or social development.

Let's start a conversation about the tools and technologies that can help you run your non-clinical business.
Check this for a start: http://www.openforum.com/idea-hub/topics/technology/article/23-free-web-based-tools-smbs-are-asking-for-now-jolie-odell
First on my list is Gmail and Google's office suite and calendar. Their spam protection is very good and you can add additional functionality through labs. I generally have most of my emails forward to a gmail account. The applications are perfect workarounds to MS Office.
If you're hiring anyone, I'd recommend Hirevue, a video interviewing service that I've just to hire all of my offshore staff. I would not hire someone for a virtual or off-site position without it. (It's pretty pricey but it's fantastic.)

5 Best Practices for Creating Effective Dashboards

In the end, there are only two ways for baby to come out of you – spread eagle or by blade. But if you break it down, unless your baby is born in the woods or by accident in a moving vehicle, there are really only 7 ways to go through the process of giving birth. As you plan your own birth and write your birth plan, think about which of the 7 great ways to give birth best fits your values and lifestyle.
Sometimes your birth plan will change as your birth preferences change. Sometimes your plan must adapt to accommodate changes in your health or risk level. For example, if you move your home during your pregnancy, your birth plan may change to match the birthing laws or culture in the your new area.
For the most part, we get to decide which choices make us feel most comfortable and safe, how much we want others involved, and what matches our own cultural and personal preferences.
- HOMEBIRTH, with support – Having your baby at home with a midwife (and often, doula) for support is the most common homebirth choice. Being at home allows you the greatest amount of personal freedom. You usually have to be low risk, but some midwives will do higher risk births, such as twins.
- HOMEBIRTH, unassisted – Some women and couples choose to give birth at home without assistance from a professional care provider. This type of birthing is also called unassisted childbirth (UC), freebirth, DIY (do it yourself) birth, or unhindered birth[1]. There are varieties of unassisted childbirth: with friends and family present, with the couple alone, or the solo woman who chooses to bring baby into the world by herself. Advocates for this type of birth say it's best because birth is a natural, not medical, process that everyone can do. The majority of care practitioners do not agree with this birth choice.
- FREE-STANDING BIRTH CENTER – Birth centers offer the advantage of personal freedom with immediate access to hospital technology, plus lower costs and fewer medical interventions. Women are free to eat, move around, sleep, use a tub, and push in whatever position works best. The family-centered atmosphere allows children or other family members to be there. With the growing trend in crowd birthing, birth centers offer an option that allows for multiple people in the birth room.
- HOSPITAL BIRTH, unmedicated – Often referred to as 'natural' birth, having an unmedicated birth means using your breath and mind instead of using pain medications to manage labor and delivery. Many celebrities[2], from super model Giselle Bundchen to Jessica Alba to the Duchess of Cambridge have given birth without pain medication – some chose the hospital, some were at home, and some chose birth centers. Many hospitals will do all they can to support your choice, but some hospitals will continuously offer medication to you throughout labor, in case you change your mind.
- HOSPITAL BIRTH, medicated – The most common type of birth in the US[3]. Sometimes it's planned and sometimes it's the result of things that happen during labor. Having an epidural for pain is the most common medication women receive in labor[4]. Sometimes women plan to have an unmedicated birth then decide during labor to use pain medications.
- C-SECTION, unplanned – Sometimes in labor, changes demand baby be born through Cesarean section. It can save a life or prevent serious injury, and is an important reason for changing your birth plans.
- C-SECTION, planned – A planned Cesarean birth is often scheduled for the convenience of mother or doctor, as long as baby has reached term (37 weeks). C-sections before term are done for medical reasons, although they may also be planned. This choice could be right for you if it makes sense for your lifestyle or if you'd rather not give birth vaginally.
When you write your birth plan, deciding where and how you want to give birth may depend on your health or lifestyle. Regardless of whether you choose a hospital, birthing center, or home, it makes sense to start a couple of months in advance to create a hospital bag checklist that reflects your personal choices.
Of course, no matter how you have your baby, every birth will likely be profound, intense, and surprising.

While it may be somewhat odd of a topic to speak on, space saving toilets can add a whole new dimension to your personal home bathroom life. There is an inherent mixture of obvious and not so obvious reasons why toilets of this nature are so attractive to many people who are looking to renovate their bathroom environments. At first glance, owning a toilet of this nature will undoubtedly help you save some space. More importantly, you can make better use of the area in your bathroom and potentially expand your shower or storage space areas. Your personal reasons for wanting to conserve space in your home in this way will no doubt be very important as you consider how to make use of the new space. Throughout this article I will be exploring what makes a great space saving toilet, and recommend a few great ones I have come across in my time working in retail.
Why Should I Buy Space Saving Toilets for My Home?
We have already discussed in this article an overview of why you would want a space saving toilet. The simple ability to save some extra space in your bathroom is exceptionally beneficial to many people. I could only imagine what I would do with some extra space in my own apartment. As extravagant as it sounds, adding something like a little bookshelf would bring this area to life in many unique ways. Not to mention, provide some excellent reading material while I spend my time on the john. Perhaps your interests are not so similar as mine, but we both cannot deny how useful having a little bit of extra room will be in the bathroom.
Still, there are some things about space saving toilets that you may have never considered. Having a good warranty is one of the things I look for before making a purchase of this nature. With a toilet, what would happen if your device decides to "poop out" on you? Yes, that is a terrible bit of potty humor, but it expresses some of the true fears I would have about buying a lavatory without some sort of protection. A toilet like the American Standard 2431.010.020 Compact Cadet-3 Elongated Toilet includes a 5-year warranty that provides an exceptional amount of peace of mind to any buyer. Remember, you should always have a trained professional (like a plumber) install your new toilet for the best results.
Finally, making sure water flow is at a top-notch level is very important. Since you will be saving some space with your new toilet, there will be less room available for actual water storage and flow. The actual flushing system is very important as well. Save yourself any potential embarrassment and invest in a product that is guaranteed to be a one flush system. You do not need a commercial grade toilet to manage a good amount of human waste in one flush as well. If the opportunity presents itself, be sure to attempt to see a live presentation of any toilets you are interested in purchasing as well.
Find the Right Space Saving Toilet for Your Bathroom!
We have spent enough time covering the basics of what you should expect from a toilet that will allow you to save some extra space in your home. It is undeniably more beneficial to discuss some specific products, with specific features, that will undeniably cater to your interests. After all, we can spend a good amount of time discussing the theoretical groundwork behind toilets, but all that time is wasted if we don't look into a proper home appliance.
Immediately my attention returns to the American Standard 2431.010.020 Compact Cadet-3 Elongated Toilet. I already quickly glimpsed at this product earlier in this article, but I am returning to it for a more in depth look considering the quality and value it provides to you as a consumer. First of all, the Cadet 3 flushing system is top rate. Some would even say first of its kind. It is environmentally friendly and uses less water than most toilets, while simultaneously providing the perfect, reliable flush every time. The actual appearance is highly conservative in nature, but works very well with virtually any bathroom space. You will have no trouble implementing this appliance into your personal space. Based on the user reviews around the net, you will have no trouble using this device in your own home.
An alternative to consider is the American Standard Diplomat Space Saver ELO TTG. This product is by the same company, and has similar features overall. However, it is somewhat smaller and will save even more space than the former product. Ultimately, this is a very comfortable appliance that will suit your bathroom needs very well. It comes with many positive reviews and is well worth noting as an alternative to the Cadet 3 toilet. If you are on the market for space saving toilets, one of these products will no doubt suit your needs.

They ruin self esteem and personalitys of young girls making them feel worth less if they do not win and if they do win it makes them feel loads better than everyone else leaving isolated because no one wants to out of choice accompany them for being vain to conclude their bad
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Young girls may think that outer appearance is the most essential thing in their life easily. They might think that they will be rich and famous when they win the beauty pageant and thinks academic backgrounds were not necessary. Also, it would make the teenagers have bad grades and are not able to be a good worker in the future.
Beauty contests are harmful for young girls. Not only will they age faster because of all of the makeup that they have to wear, it teaches them that they must do anything to win, even if it is wrong. It also teaches them that the only way they have worth is if they look good.
Beauty contests for children really aren't about the children. They are about the parents. The kids are typically too young to understand what's going on. It's basically a way for Mommy to play dress up doll with a live child. And the social conditioning those young girls get, that it's okay to be judged on how you look and what you wear, too creepy for the 21st century.
I believe beauty contests can be harmful to young girls, in fact, they are harmful to girls in any age group that participates in them. Beauty pageants seek out perfection, in a world where perfection rarely ever exists. Beauty pageants can make a girl feel like she is on a pedestal or it can make a girl feel worthless.
Beauty contests ruin the self-esteem of young girls and promote unhealthy body images. How many of these kids develop eating disorders later in life because they don't feel pretty enough? Standards of beauty for these pageants are impossible to meet for everyday life. Parents should be ashamed for entering their girls in these kinds of contests at extremely young ages. It's one thing to have a "cutest kid" contest, but entirely another to be judged on makeup, hair and a talent show.
When girls go to pageants they think that beauty is the most important thing in the world and that as long as they are pretty they can do anything and treat people like nothing (as shown in tv realities ) moms make them think that they are not pretty and make them work for them. The girls also can vet their face damaged of too much makeup,false lashes and all the stuff they make them use.
You can go to ways with this but in my opinion I think it is. They wear too much makeup and some of the outfits can be outrageous. Now given I don't watch young beauty pageants but still I think it should be held only for adults. It sends the message that wearing a ton of makeup is ok when really natural beauty is the prettiest. Although pageants can encourage the way someone sees themselves and what they wear or how they dress I don't necessarily believe it could have a negative impact. It all depends on how the child is raised.
In a beauty contest not only our outer appearance is judged but it asks for a combo of 'Beauty And Brain'. Girls never thinks that if they win the beauty contests then they don't have any need to study. In fact it helps them to improve their personality and confidence level.
They'll will learn discipline. My public speaking teacher is making me do this. I hate it. This is one of the worst activities that I do. I hate public speaking. I have to do a debate and speech every week. This is very tiring. I hope you like my response!
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
No,beauty pageants are not harmful to young girls..The problem comes when the mothers and other adults get out of hand.They may put pressure on the young girls to the extent that it is no longer any fun and just seems like a chore but they can be a positive activity for the girls involved.
There are girls in this world who are obsessed with their own looks for selfish reasons. The idea that society "forces" or drills the idea into their heads that they have to be the most beautiful is nonsense; girls who participate in these beauty contests do so of their own free will, and as such whatever harm done to them was already done. Maybe they decided they didn't need to use smarts or personality to get through life.

I confess it all seems a bit silly to me, this whole notion of there being a "war on Christmas" because some institutions are wishing people "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas." Does it really matter? OK, I admit that I, personally, am annoyed with the signs that declare that Jesus is the Reason for the Season. The season, after all, is winter, which is caused by the fact that the earth rotates on a slightly tilted axis, which takes the Northern Hemisphere a little further from the sun this time of year. Jesus has nothing to do with it. Jesus also has nothing to do with a variety of holidays that take place in this season, such as Chanukah, Yule and Kwanzaa.
However, pagan symbolism such as fir trees, holly and mistletoe aside, Christmas is Christmas, and I have genuine sympathy for the people who are concerned that it is time to put the Christ back into Christmas. It seems a bit bizarre to me to celebrate the birth of a baby born in a stable by indulging in an orgy of consumerism. But how people conduct their celebrations is not the war.
No, the war on Christmas, on the man who declared "blessed are the poor," is being declared by the folks who are determined to cut billions of dollars from programs that keep families from going hungry. The war on Christmas, on the man who overturned the tables of the moneychangers, is being conducted by financial institutions that expect the public to assume the responsibility for their losses on risky investments, while they reap the rewards. The war on Christmas, on the baby who could only find shelter in a stable, is being conducted by immigration policies that have no room for the notion of hospitality. The war on Christmas — on the man who said we will be judged on how we have fed the poor, given drink to the thirsty, clothed the naked, and visited those who are sick or in prison — is being conducted by those who would describe those in need as "takers" and those who think it's a good idea to fill prisons with young men so that private corporations can make a profit.
Frankly, I couldn't care less whether you wish me a merry Christmas, happy holidays or simply a nice day, so long as it's done in a spirit of civility. Pipe Bach chorales and Handel's Messiah out into the streets, and put up a Nativity scene on your lawn. Fine by me. Be my guest. But don't put yourself in the role of Mr. Scrooge, loving the fruits of business so much that you care nothing for the poor, and then step out in the public sphere and declare your horror at the neglect and abuse of Christmas. For that is the real war on Christmas, and it looks like Christmas is losing again.

Inside My Head lyrics song by Godgory
Here is the song lyric of Godgory : and you can also sing and watch music video
Welcome to a trip with me
Inside my brain to insanity
A guided journey to misery
You listen to what I say
I don't know you, you know my name
We sit and talk and you're gettin paid
I can't explain how I feel
When everyone is judging me
I hope you find the reasons why
I'm sittin' here and almost cry
It cuts so deep inside of me
But at the same time I feel complete
Is life a mission or is it a gift
I can't think more see you next week
What would you think if I told you the truth
In this world we are born to loose
The thoughts I have is makin me
So afraid for reality
I'm sittin' here in the chair again
Speakin emotions direct from my brain
I can't tell this to anyone
Just the ones there trust is found
Maybe you think I'll be better of dead
But I just wanna know who I am

February 27, 2009 in Embedded Linux, History, News | Tags: linux, montavista | Leave a comment
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the articles of incorporation of the company who arguably started the real-time embedded Linux movement, MontaVista Software. Jim Ready and a small band of hopefuls saw that Linux was a suitable operating system for an embedded environment, and over the years have contributed thousands of lines and many thousands of hours to make Linux real-time, small, and fast. From the first release of the Hard Hat Linux distribution to current editions, MontaVista has provided an excellent real-time system that has succeeded in revolutionizing the embedded systems industry.
Full disclosure: I work for MontaVista. In the past, I also worked for MontaVista partners, ISVs, and, yes, competitors. I really like it here.
Free web-based training on embedded Linux

Webinars, seminars held over the Internet, are a great way to attend a very directed class on a specific subject without leaving your desk. I love these things because they are rarely longer than an hour, and they are usually cached so you can go back and watch them anytime if you miss the original presentation, or if you want to catch something you missed.
This week, MontaVista's Klaas van Gend gave an excellent presentation addressing the top 5 pains in Linux system build and design. The webinar is already archived on MontaVista's site, along with many other interesting presentations.
Coming up from TimeSys is a 4-part series on basic embedded Linux skills (thanks to LinuxDevices for the news).
Some webinars are a little more commercial, though still informative, like Wind River's Mike Deliman exploring RTOS design for space robotics from July 2008. I have a personal interest in this one, as I worked at Wind River in 1996 and 1997, when VxWorks became the first RTOS on a different planet—a heady time for humanity, and for embedded systems as well. RIP, Sojourner.
Also be sure to check websites after important conferences, like CELF's Embedded Linux Conference or MontaVista's Vision 2008. These sites usually catalog at least the slides from most or all sessions, if not video recordings of the actual presentations.
Take advantage of these offerings. It's like going to college for free, or at least going to a conference for free (without the travel or the shwag and shmoozing). And don't forget to look for other free training materials, including documentation, white papers, and even events. This is one way these loose "communities" feed back into the public sphere, which benefits everyone involved.
Community Presentation at CELF Embedded Linux Conference

I am pleased to announce that I have also been accepted to speak at CELF's Embedded Linux Conference in April. This conference is co-located with the Linux Collaboration Summit in San Francisco.
The presentation at ELC will be much more focused on embedded Linux communities and how they can collaborate effectively.
Community Presentation at Linux Collaboration Summit
February 12, 2009 in Community, Embedded Linux, Open Source | Tags: Community, conferences, embedded, linux, Open Source | Leave a comment
I have been accepted to speak at this year's Linux Collaboration Summit, sponsored by the Linux Foundation. I will be co-presenting with Joerg Bertholdt, VP Marketing at MontaVista. This summit will be held in San Francisco in April, co-located with CELF's Embedded Linux Conference, where I will also be presenting.
I will be talking about online communities and collaborative development, which is nothing new in the open-source community, but which is sort of new in the embedded space, where I work. Historically, developers of embedded devices have been less open to collaborative projects. The community I am helping to build hopes to change that by enabling developers to collaborate on the difficult parts of development, and differentiate their products at a different level. This kind of collaboration has been key in other markets that have experienced widespread Linux adoption, particularly servers and clusters.
I am seriously excited about the opportunities this kind of community can generate.

The elegance of entry to the house and grounds is enhanced by the majesty of large iron gates and lanterns. The portico invites access through carved wooden double doors with distinctive leaded glass window panels.
A grand welcome awaits Art and Ethnic Center participants and visitors as they are greeted in the neo-Jacobethan style foyer, common for large homes in 1913. The original use of this foyer, with its massive carved stone fireplace and impressive open staircase, will remain a greeting and meeting place where every activity in the twenty-odd rooms and carriage house studios will begin. The foyer displays a Patronage Plaque on which are the names of the following building fund donors: H. L. Miller and Son and Pottsville Bleach and Dye; Williamson, Friedberg, and Jones; Lipkin, Stutzman, Marshall, and Bohorad; American Argo Corporation; Exxon U.S.A. Annuitants Fund; The Bohorad Charitable Trust; Will S. and Anna S. Fox Foundation.
The formal living room paneled in solid mahogany with ornate tapestry wall hangings epitomizes the elegance of the neo-Jacobethan architecture. The ornately carved fireplace mantel and elegant chandelier provide the perfect intimate setting for chamber concerts, lectures, and many meetings that will be conducted there. The room dedication to Dr. and Mrs. Braun will remain a tribute to the heritage left by this talented couple who were cultural and community leaders in Schuylkill County for more than a half century.
Originally the home of the Yuengling family, the owners of America's oldest brewery, this property became the Art and Ethnic Center, the home of the Schuylkill County Council for the Arts in March 1978. The heirs of Augusta Yuengling donated the house and grounds in order to provide Schuylkill County with a home for cultural and arts activities.
Thanks in part to the generosity of the Yuenglings, the SCCA has continued to grow and establish a variety of innovative programs that reach thousands of people across the region. The home was entered on the National Register of Historic Places in Washington D.C. in 1979.
Since 1978, this family homestead has become a regional center housing a professional and volunteer staff dedicated to fostering growth in the art and ethnic heritage of Schuylkill County. The SCCA is a local arts agency. There are 54 such agencies in PA and Schuylkill is the most beautiful setting of all.

The human body is a marvelously designed machine that not only reacts to and conforms to input from its environment, but also produces various signal outputs we can (and should) utilize when trying to improve upon our health. It is important to be in tune with the body's signals, so to speak, because this can have a profound impact on achieving physical health goals, such as weight and fat loss. This practice is knows as interoception, and is described in THIS article:
"Interoception is our ability to sense our bodies internal states (whether it is hungry, cold, in pain or tired). It is not 'thinking' about your body — as if contemplating our physical image in a mirror, but on experiencing what our body is feeling inside."
A lack of interoception can actually hinder the weight loss or fat loss processes. If we focus too much on health tracking devices, as an example, our brain can override what our bodies are telling us and take the device data as gold. The device data may not give as accurate account of how exactly our bodies are changing with the exercise, but keen interoceptive awareness does, if we learn to tune into our body's signals.
As THIS study illustrates, two groups of people who were trying to lose weight were observed – one group utilizing wearables and the other without. The group using the health tracking devices actually lost LESS weight than the ones without! It is a very real possibility that the group with the wearables just focused on hitting a certain number vs reacting to what their bodies were telling them. Being in tune with signals, such as heart rate, fatigue state and internal bodily temperatures/perspiration rate can enable a person to push past their "comfort zones" and achieve significant results.
It's so important to be in tune with your body with respect to ALL health related activities, such as meditation, exercise and diet. If we focus too much on the scale numbers or device data, we can actually trick the brain into thinking activities that are working and beneficial, are in fact NOT. Just because a goal of 10,000 steps or 10lbs of weight loss has been established, doesn't mean hitting that number is the "end all be all". In fact, it can be a barrier to hitting the "true number" a specific individual may need for their specific health need or desired change.
Additionally, if you inundate your body with negativity (thoughts/stress), unnatural or manufactured substances, and bad foods, the body's output signals will become accustomed to the unhealthy inputs and play a trick on you. In this case, your interoception will actually work against you as you have trained your body to want more of the unhealthy inputs and operate in a stressful state. It goes without saying you should avoid these types of inputs!
The good news is, especially if you've fallen off the wagon a bit, your brain has the ability to rewire itself in response to the signals that you give it (see post on Neurogenesis and Neuroplasticity). If you are constantly feeding your brain with positive thoughts and your body with healthy actions, your body will in turn feed you with healthy output signals.
How do we use interoception to improve upon our health?
Listen to your body when performing health related activities. When you are exercising, feel your heart rate and respiratory rate. When you are lifting, feel the muscle tension with each contraction. When you are eating, pay attention to the level of satisfaction vs. fullness in your stomach. When you are meditating, don't stop until you feel yourself enter into that "transcendent" or altered state of consciousness. When you are trying to sleep, focus on your breathing and feel every part of your body absolutely relaxed.
The more in tune with your body you are, the greater ability you have to affect it when performing any and all health related activities. You can have a better sense of what needs to be done to achieve an altered state, the amount of force and repetition required to break down a specific muscle, how hard to push during a workout, or when to take a break and relax. Listen to your body and learn how to better optimize your health!

Gas deal disputed in Ukraine
Saturday, December 11, 2010
IN MOSCOW Ukraine is moving to settle a long-running dispute over its purchase of natural gas, with a big payout to its supplier. The populist leader of the political opposition, former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, says the settlement is a giant swindle and has called on the International Monetary Fund to suspend its loans to her country.
The supplier, a murky company called RosUkrEnergo (RUE), will receive the compensation in the form of 12.1 billion cubic meters of natural gas, which is worth close to $3 billion. In January 2009, when Tymoshenko was prime minister, she had engineered a deal with Russia that cut out RUE from gas transactions. The company claimed that this amounted to a confiscation of its property.
RUE is owned jointly by Gazprom, the Russian gas company, and a Ukrainian tycoon named Dmytro Firtash. American diplomats, in cables released by WikiLeaks, reported back to Washington on speculation that RUE had criminal connections. The U.S. ambassador to Ukraine in 2008, William Taylor, reported that Firtash had admitted to him that he had had dealings with Semyon Mogilevich, reputed to be a powerful Russian mobster. Firtash issued a statement Thursday categorically denying any link to Mogilevich.
The settlement, Tymoshenko wrote in a letter to IMF officials Thursday, leaves the Ukrainian state-owned gas company "entangled in a web of international corruption and fraud."
Calling it the "largest-scale financial crime in Ukraine's history," she said the IMF should withhold the second installment of a $15 billion loan to Ukraine.
"During the difficult post-crisis period, it is very hard for Ukraine's people to live, work and repay credits to the IMF, which will later be transferred to mafia structures," she wrote. "I know that other IMF donor-countries have also experienced difficult times after the crisis. It would be unfair for taxpayers of the IMF donor-countries to finance corrupt schemes in the post-Soviet space."
The government of President Viktor Yanukovych, who took office last spring, points out that the dispute over RUE went to an international arbitration court in Stockholm, where in July Ukraine lost its case. Tymoshenko said the government had no intention of winning. "There was a corrupt conspiracy between the new Ukrainian government and the shadowy company RosUkrEnergo against Ukraine, framed behind the back of Ukraine's people," she wrote.
Western diplomats based in Ukraine agreed that the government didn't try to win its case. "The government took a powder in Stockholm," one said.
The Ukrainian government agreed in November to the settlement, which is in the form of natural gas because Ukraine doesn't have the cash to pay its debt.
The IMF's response to Tymoshenko's letter was muted. "This is a commercial dispute between Naftogaz, the state-owned gas company, and RosUkrEnergo," an IMF spokesman, who requested anonymity, said in a statement. "We understand a settlement has been reached that results in a net financial liability to Naftogaz. . . . While the amount in question is not insignificant, the settlement represents a manageable risk to Ukraine's macroeconomic stability."
He said the IMF will "respond in due course" to Tymoshenko's letter.
Ukraine's foreign minister, Konstantin Gryshchenko, denounced Tymoshenko while on a visit to Moscow Thursday. "She is a true Bolshevik," he said. "When she's not in the driver's seat, everything is wrong."
As prime minister, he said, she moved against RUE "without any legal procedure. Confiscation, it is called."
Gryshchenko denied that Ukraine was giving in to Russia. "We do conduct tough negotiations with Russia on the gas issue," he said. Russia and Ukraine have had several disputes over gas, which Russia supplies. In 2006 Gazprom closed the valves on Ukraine, and another showdown over gas in 2008 led to disruptions through much of Europe. A significant amount of Russian gas that goes to Europe transits across Ukraine - and Tymoshenko raised the specter of future cutoffs affecting the whole continent if RUE takes a controlling position as a natural gas middleman.
Tymoshenko made a fortune buying and selling natural gas in the 1990s. She turned to politics and was a key figure in Ukraine's Orange Revolution of 2004. She served two separate terms as prime minister, before running for president against Yanukovych earlier this year. Yanukovych had the strong backing of Moscow in that election, and won with 48 percent of the vote to Tymoshenko's 45.

My Journey – Part Five
A sweater like this one is just the right thing for a foggy, rainy day. The grey and yellow brightened up my day nicely and the flowers were just the hint of Spring I needed. I'm having fun with grey combinations – stay tuned for more fun match-ups!
Now more on the journey…
To answer some of your questions, today I'll talk about the diet portion of my journey. As I mentioned earlier, I started my diet in January of 2012 with a 21 day cleanse. I used the Standard Process program which combined natural supplements with a specific diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and lots of water. I had already eliminated caffeine, aspartame and diet sodas, so I started drinking green tea and using natural sweeteners (Stevia and honey). I also limited my alcohol intake – just for special occasions. I replaced ice cream with frozen yogurt and made smoothies every morning for breakfast (frozen fruit and water, no juice or milk). After the cleanse I stuck to 1200 calories a day, adjusting my calories to compensate for any I burned during exercise. It was a tricky balance, but it paid off. All in all it took about 10 months to lose the 30 pounds. And I can guarantee you every single day was worth it. Now I still adhere to the 1200 calories a day and log everything I eat in the My Fitness Pal app. With continuing my diet and exercise I've kept the weight off (at least 25 pounds of it) and feel better than I did in my 40s. Life is good!
Today's outfit:
Merona grey flowered sweater: Target
Mustard turtleneck knit top: CATO
Jordache denim leggings: Walmart
Bandolino black riding boots: DSW
Have a lovely, healthy day!
