How to Use Midori to Browse the Web on Your Raspberry Pi
The Midori layout on the Raspberry Pi is similar to other browsers you might have used in the past, with a thin toolbar at the top, and most of the screen given over to the web page you're viewing. To get started with it, either run it from the Programs menu or double-click its icon on the desktop.
If you know the address of the website you want to visit, type it into the address bar. When you start to type an address, a menu under the address bar suggests pages you've previously visited that might match what you want. When you've finished typing the address, press the Enter key or click the down arrow inside the right of the search box.
When your mouse pointer is over a link, the pointer changes to a small hand in a sleeve. You can then click the left mouse button to follow that link to another web page. Click the Back button to retrace your steps and revisit the pages you browsed before the current one. The Forward button beside it takes you forwards through your history again.
Some web pages update frequently with new information, so you can click the Reload button to download the current page again and see any updates since you first opened it.
One innovation in Midori that isn't common in other browsers is the button to go to the next sub-page. When a website splits an article across different pages, this button gives you quick access to the next page in the series. It's useful in web forums, which often have conversation threads that span multiple pages. The button can only be clicked when the browser has detected the next page.
How to search for and within web pages
The default search engine in Midori is called Duck Duck Go. Most search engines today track your behavior and use that to tailor their results and advertising to you. Duck Duck Go promises not to do that, and also aims to instantly deliver as many answers as possible along with its web page suggestions.
If you prefer to consult an alternative search engine, click the duck logo inside the search box to select Google, Yahoo, Wikipedia, or The Free Dictionary instead.
To find a word or phrase within a web page, press Ctrl+F after the page has loaded. The Find bar opens at the bottom of the screen, with a box for you to type into. The first occurrence of the text you're looking for is highlighted on the page in blue, and you can press the Enter key or click the Next button to move to the next one.
After that, you can click Highlight Matches in the Find bar to highlight all occurrences of the text you're looking for in yellow.
How to use tabbed browsing
Like many other browsers today, Midori uses tabs to enable you to switch between several websites you have open at the same time. In Midori, a tab is a bit like a window that lives inside the browser with a web page in it. Click the button in the top left to add a new tab, which opens to show you Speed Dial, a page of links for quick access.
How to add and use bookmarks
Bookmarks make it easy to revisit your favorite web pages. When you click the Add Bookmark button, the New Bookmark window opens. The default name for a bookmark is the web page's title, but you can edit it, and choose a folder to put it in.
If you click the box to show your bookmark in the toolbar, a link is shown in a strip underneath the address bar, which is handy for the sites you use every day. If you click the box to run the web page as a web application, it opens in its own window without most of the browser features. To add the bookmark, click the Add button.
The bookmarks option also enables you to add a page to Speed Dial. To do this, click the button in the middle of the Bookmarks window. If you want a bookmark too, you'll still have to click the Add button at the bottom of it, though.
To access your bookmarks while you're browsing, you need to open the side panel. Click the menu in the top-right, and choose Sidepanel. At the bottom of the sidepanel are three icons: a folder with a star on it for bookmarks; a clock for your history; and a parcel for transfers.
Click the Bookmarks icon and you'll see your bookmarks in the panel. At the top of the panel are buttons to add a new bookmark, edit an existing bookmark, delete a bookmark, or create a folder to organize bookmarks.
Protect your privacy
As you know, your browser stores the history of web pages you visit. If you want to make a visit to a website without any traces being left in the browser, perhaps to plan your Christmas shopping without the risk of other family members coming across the websites you've visited, open a new private browsing window first.
You do this through the menu in the top right. When you are in private browsing mode, a message is shown after the web page title in the title bar at the top of your browser.
When information has already been stored in the browser, you can delete it by choosing Clear Private Data from the menu in the top right. You can choose what information you want to remove.

In June 2016, the Cayman Islands Judiciary launched mediation in Grand Court family proceedings cases, as a method of resolving family disputes that have already been filed with the court.
This form of mediation is governed by the Mediation Information and Assessment Rules 2016 ( MIAM rules) and the Practice Directions which provide guidance to the Rules.
The Cayman Islands Judiciary was preparing in late 2015 to introduce mediation as an alternative method of resolution (ADR) for disputes, other than criminal, that are readily adaptable to being settled by means of this method. Other than the many obvious benefits, mediation avoids possible protracted litigation through the courts, an advantage to both litigants and to the Courts.
One of the major advantages that mediation offers persons with legal disputes is that it has the potential to expedite what would otherwise be protracted and expensive litigation through the courts. Below are a few examples of how mediation can benefit parties in family proceedings.
How will mediation help me in my family court case?
Couples who are divorcing or settling family disputes in the Grand Court may benefit from mediation in the following ways:
- Reduce the time and cost of the court proceedings. Mediation is quick and can save substantial time and money compared to cases that proceed through the traditional court system until final hearing by the judge.
- Family mediators can help you reach decisions about things that are important to you and your family. It helps you find a way to plan for the future and agree what will work best for you and your family.
- The parties have available, a mediator who is a neutral person that facilitates parents, couples, parties to improve communication and settle the current dispute before the court on agreed terms.
- The mediation can be less stressful than court proceedings.
- Mediation provides you with the space and time to think about the most important issues that will affect your family and provides a positive and safe environment for you to work out the best arrangements for your children/family.
- Divorcing couples are often better able to accept and respect a mediated agreement that they have worked out together as opposed to the court imposing a decision on the parties.
- Mediation is confidential.
- Successful mediations result in a mediation agreement, whereby the participants return to court with an agreed position. This facilitates the making of a final Order by the Judge on a consent basis.

My wife purchased this almost as a joke, not thinking I'd like it. Boy was she wrong! I love my kilt! I wear it just about all the time around the house and the yard. I wear it around town just to pretend to ignore the confused looks people give me. lol. I did have a lady in Lowe's Hardware store stop me and ask me "Who I was supposed to be" that day.

Measuring guides for kilt
If you are new to buy a kilt online and want to measure yourself for it, then read our step by step guide to get the best fit kilt for your better experience. Why it's necessary to measure before buying!! Well, it's good to measure before rather buying the wrong size and returning the product for another size. Further, in jeans industry manufacturer has their standards to measure and a short or jeans pant doesn't reflect your actual waist to best fit because kilt size is larger than your pants size!! Don't annoy for the information you can get proof of it to measure yourself. So, in 3-4 steps, we will guide you how you can measure your body for your 1st kilt. All you need is a pen, one page, and a measuring tape if you don't have assistant no problem you can measure yourself quickly. We need your three sizes for kilt
1) Your waist size
2) Your hip size
3) Your kilt length
4) Fell measurement (optional)
1- Waist Size
Start with the 1st or waist size, put tape around your body at the point of your waist or belly button or where you are planning to fasten your kilt. Normally a kilt should be at the belly button, but it's totally up to you how you want to wear it. So measure the point with normal breath (our kilts has little losing for best fitting) and write on the page either in inches or cm to update in your order. *Note: It will probably be 2 to 4 inches more than your pants size. It is common. *TIP: BIG guys with large bellies may want to wear the kilt around the naval, as it gives a more flattering appearance.
2- Hip Size
Moving further measure your hips at widest point, it's very easy to measure for that. Why it's necessary to give hips size?? It's an interesting answer, while we manufacture your kilt we must know either you have normal hips size or not!! Because if your hips cannot fit in your kilt that would be so embarrassing and uncomfortable to wear in public. Because we manufacture a made to order kilt so, we take care of each step to manufacture.
3- Length Size
At 3rd step, you need to measure your kilt's length which means how long your kilt will hang while standing on your legs. People wear as per their choice, but a kilt should hang till your knee cap (but it's not a standard at all its totally up to your choice). But be sure that your starting point is from your waist point or where you plan to fasten your kilt. So it will be a length from your waist till your knee cap or what so ever you want. The standard length of kilt or drop length of the kilt is 24" in a male case and 20" in female case, but you are designing your kilt it's up to youJ.
4- Fell measurement
Heading to end the kilt size guide the last point is your fell measurement. Don't know what is fell?? Well, Fell is measured from your point of waist till your hips (in the picture you can easily understand that) some people want that their kilt should stay with their body rather roomy or airy like fittings of pants at hips so if you will update your fell measurement you can fulfill this requirement as well. Most of the time a Fell measurement is not that necessary because most of the kilts are manufactured as per standard fell measurement which is 5-7 inches as per total length of the kilt.

Whiskey Confessional
Posted on Tuesday, November 6th, 2012
Of course I love expensive, flavorful whiskeys. Who doesn't? But there is also one cheap whiskey I am fond of – R & R. Plastic bottle. Screw top. Great price. It was the one my Dad kept in the house. I confess I use it in some cocktails – ones that have other strong, can hold their own ingredients. And I used R & R to infuse these bing cherries. During the summer, I created the Whiskey Bing Bing cocktail, and kind of got addicted to them. I knew bing cherry season wouldn't last forever. So I filled a quart glass jar with pitted bing cherries, and covered them with my R & R. After a couple of weeks, I tested one of the cherries, and decided to add a small amount of sugar. A month later, these cherries were yummy. I went through another streak of being addicted to Whiskey Bing Bings. These whiskey-infused cherries are nearly gone. So sad. But I have some cherry-flavored whiskey remaining that is delicious on its' own. My next cherry adventure is to infuse a bunch of frozen bings with whiskey. Since the cherries get muddled and smushed, I'm thinking the softer texture of the frozen cherries will be fine and dandy. I may have another winner.

An Auburn, Indiana Kick-off
Labor Day weekend the small town of Auburn, Indiana becomes the center of the collector car universe. It is already famous as the birthplace of the Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg automobiles. It is now the home of the fantastic museum that is a shrine to those three iconic marquees. But Labor Day weekend sees the town swell as 80,000 car enthusiasts come to northeast Indiana. The lure is the homecoming of Auburn Cord and Dusenberg vehicles and their owners, and the huge swap meet and vehicle auction organized by Auctions America at the mammoth grounds designed especially for the event. It was the perfect place to kick-off the 2014 Shades of the Past AMSOIL/Street Rodder Road Tour. We are setting our sites on Pigeon Forge, Tn. and the Hot Rod Round-Up that is known in the street rod hobby simply as "Shades of the Past" for the club that organizes the event each year.
Our first driver's meeting of the tour was held Friday morning at our hotel in Fort Wayne, In. just about 10 miles south of Auburn. About 15 of the 25 registered Tour vehicles were able to start out on Friday. The remaining dozen will be catching up with us over the next few days. Our first destination in Auburn was the National Automotive and Truck Museum. The museum is located in a huge structure that at one time was part of the Auburn automobile factory. When we arrived the festivities were already in full swing as the NATM is located directly behind the Auburn-Cord –Duesenberg Museum and autos from all across the country were gathering in the adjoining parking lots. Our designated parking area for the morning was right next to a number of restored auto court buildings that exemplify the early days of auto travel lodging.
The National Automotive and Truck Museum covers two floors and consists of a wide array of vehicles from all automotive eras. Downstairs is where the majority of the trucks are on display. The vehicles range from restored commercial vehicles to trucks that literally just came out of their resting place in a building or barn. Upstairs on the first floor a wide variety of autos were on display along with pedal cars and automobilia. We were also able to get a preview of an auction of vehicles and automobilia that was taking place over the weekend. It was a great start to our Friday Auburn adventure.
From the NATM it was literally 100 feet to the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum which is actually the original A-C-D showroom from the 1930's. It has been restored to its original Art Deco glory and contains some of the most beautiful vehicles ever produced. The main floor is absolutely breathtaking in its grandeur. Upstairs on the third floor the display of classics continues. We were also able to see the new Racers and Record Setters exhibit that had just opened a week before our visit. The A-C-D Museum is simply amazing and coupled with the National Auto and Truck Museum the two collections are enough to make Auburn a destination for auto enthusiasts any time of the year.
After our morning at the museums it was a very short drive to the Auctions America grounds. The parent company of Auctions America is the RM Auctions which is famous for their high end auto auctions held around the country. The event at the grounds is literally a three ring circus of auto activities. The swap meet is huge, the car corral holds hundreds of cars and trucks for sale and the auto auction activity is non-stop. The Road Tour participants were special guests at Auction America on Friday and we had VIP parking and All Access privileges to the activities. With just an afternoon to try to see it all we fanned out in different directions. A number of the Road Tourians bid and at least one was the the winner on a vehicle during Friday's auction action. A certain Road Tour Director purchased a 1948 Pontiac Steelcraft pedal car to add to my collection. It was a great day but way too short in Auburn, Indiana. It just may be that next year we will spend the entire Labor Day Weekend in Auburn as we head to Pigeon Forge in 2015.
All of that took place during our very first day of the Shades of the Past Road Tour. We are just getting started as we have Friday, Saturday and Sunday ahead of us in Indianapolis at the NHRA celebrates the 60th US Nationals. It is going to be an amazing week on the road to Pigeon Forge.

Welcome to Thank God I'm Fabulous, a blog about life, love and happiness (but mostly about weight loss, coping with Type II Diabetes and living strong.)
So hi! Hello! I guess you're wondering why I'm starting yet another blog. There are hundreds of thousands of them out in the blog-a-sphere (not an actual statistic, just something I made up) , so why would mine be any different? It probably won't be in all seriousness, but I wanted to do it anyway.
You see, I have stuff to say. Some of it will most probably be whinging. Some of it will be venting. And some of it may even be useful to others out there who are travelling a similar journey. I need to stress at the outset that I am not, nor have I ever been a medical professional so anything you read on this blog is purely from my own personal experience and shouldn't be taken as medical advice.
I will be honest. Sometimes painfully, brutally honest. There may even be the occasional bad word (if that offends you I apologise in advance.)

Lawnmower Parents: How You Can Avoid Being One (& Why You Should)! by Ann Marie Gardinier Halstead
The latest breed of overbearing parent is the "lawnmower parent." These moms and dads don't just hover like helicopter parents but rather they smooth the way for their kids, mowing down obstacles in their path. Also known as "snowplow parents," lawnmower parents speak for their children, make decisions for them and rush in to "save" them from any potential problem or inconvenience, even as they enter their teenage and college years. However, while these parents may mean well, they can actually cause more harm than good.
Dr. Alicia R. Camlibel, who holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Seton Hall University, suggests that "this micromanaging of children's lives is … inhibiting them from learning the essential skills of communicating, negotiating, learning from mistakes and making decisions ... It is also sending children the message that they are not good enough to do these things themselves." So how can you avoid being a lawnmower parent? Try these four steps:
- Let your child speak for him or herself as much as possible.
- Encourage high school- and college-aged children to communicate and make arrangements with teachers, coaches, directors, admissions counselors, employers, etc., on their own.
- Allow your child to make mistakes, struggle, even fail. And be there for her when she does. Encourage her to learn from her mistakes and move forward.
- Empower your child to make his own decisions.

Washington (CNN) – Mitt Romney has signed on to appear at a conservative forum in New Hampshire later this month, the latest sign the former Massachusetts governor is inches away from launching a second bid for the White House.
The forum, sponsored by the New Hampshire state chapter of Americans for Prosperity Foundation, will focus on spending and job creation as well as honor Ovide Lamontagne - the 2010 GOP Senate candidate who, with significant Tea Party support, nearly beat establishment-backed candidate Kelly Ayotte in the Republican primary.
Lamontagne - who continues to enjoy strong support from the Tea Party - could to be a key player ahead of the New Hampshire's presidential primary and one of the most sought-after endorsements there.
Other potential presidential candidates confirmed for the event include former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Sen. Rick Santorum and businessman Herman Cain.
The potential 2012 candidates who have also been invited include Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, Sarah Palin, Rep. Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee.
-CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.
Phew...I was worried that you'd add Santorum to that list of invitees too and thus reveal that there's a distinct possibility that the shear magnitude of stupid collected at this event would create a wormhole, utterly destroying the northeastern US and part of Canada. As it is, it would already be dangerously close to the critical mass required for the gravitional fields of their idiocy to imlpode them into a singularity if the ones listed all show up.
I hope Mittens doesn't intend on bashing the President over jobs. That goes for other candidates as well. That is a losing argument. The economy is growing and jobs are coming back. No thanks to republicans.
every time I see Mitt Romney trying to do things to get the RNC nomination, I recall what I think is the ONLY time I ever agreed with Ann Coulter when she said at C-Pac that if "Romney gets the nomination, WE'LL LOSE"!
"The Republican fear-mongering propaganda has begun."
When did it stop?
This is a fund raiser first and a think tank second. This group will not come up with any policy anouncements beyond endorsing Romney. Romeny in turn will be most critical of Obama without offering any positive or concrete solutions. Case closed.
Mitt is going to have a difficult time courting the tea party. He is not a Rand/Ron Paul type of politician who stands by their votes. Mitt constantly changes his positions if he feels it will win him votes.
this guy is loser....definite....o.k...he talks no sense absolutely no sense....
"this guy is loser....definite....o.k...he talks no sense absolutely no sense...."
Now you know how we feel when we read your posts.
How many jobs will the machinations of this group ultimately create? I mean in the US.

I have a new shop! Buy all my latest books here!
It looks like Steve still hasn't learned to spell chloroform. I don't know why I bother paying for those classes. Don't forget I'll have a table at the Bristol Comic Expo this saturday and it would be great to see you if you can make it. Unless you're some sort of ravenous inter-dimensional beast that is viewing this comic through a rift in reality with it's single blood-red eye, in which case I'm probably less keen to make your acquaintance. You know, unless you bring some biscuits obviously. And in other comic-related news, my favourite UK based photo-comic starring a carrot-topped mancunian is finally back after it's surprise hiatus. It's ever so exciting.

Perl is a popular scripting tool for admins, sending alert e-mails is an essencial part to play with if you quiet often need your script to monitoring things.
Here is my examples:
Calls linux system command sendmail
sub sendmail {
my $msg = $_[0];
my $mailtype= $_[1];
my $mailsubject= $_[2];
my $mailtarget;
$msg =~ /^(([[:print:]\s])+)$/;
$msg = $1;
$msg =~ s/[|]|[;]|[!]/ /g;
if($mailtype == _MAIL ) {
else {
my $sm = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";
open( SENDMAIL, "|$sm" ) or die( "Cannot open $sm: $!" );
print SENDMAIL "From: $mailtarget\n";
print SENDMAIL "Reply-to: $mailtarget\n";
print SENDMAIL "To: $mailtarget\n";
print SENDMAIL "Subject: ".$mailsubject."\n";
print SENDMAIL "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print SENDMAIL "Dear System Adminstrator:\n\nThe following traps have been received from devices since last time report:\n\n";
print SENDMAIL "$msg\n";
close( SENDMAIL );
Use perl mail module
Replace variables
use Mail::Sendmail;
Use sendmail module to customize MIME::Lite , send an mail with attachment.
sub sendmail
my $msg_body = $_[0];
my $from_address= $_[1];
my $tomail= $_[2];
my $subject=$_[3];
my $tempfile=$_[4];
my $sender = new Mail::Sender({
from => $from_address,
to => $tomail,
subject => $subject,
$sender->SendLine( $msg_body );
description => 'Raw Data File',
encoding => '7BIT',
file => $tempfile,
You can do more complex things with perl Mail::Sendmail module, but most of time, sending simple text message is the most useful part for system admin, particularly in scripting.
Piece for logging or to call sendmail
The following function is for admins to decide to do logging or to call sendmail

What kind of solid hardwoods can I install on concrete?
If moisture conditions are acceptable, there are three types of wood products available for placement over concrete; An engineered glue down, an engineered floating floor or solid wood under 3/4" thick can be used.
Several adhesive manufacturers warrant solid 3/4"wood installations, those that do require the use of shorts or board lengths under 36". These should only be installed on or above-grade.
Ottawa Flooring Cntractors recommends 100% urethane flooring adhesives and moisture barriers. Some styles of engineered wood such as the Shaw Epic product can be edge-glued and floated over padding. Floating floors are also available in a glueless click-together style.
The more traditional ¾" solid hardwoods on concrete can be accomplished with the addition of a plywood sub-floor used as a nailing base over the concrete. However, this can raise floor height problems with door entries and thresholds. Engineered hardwood floors eliminate vertical height issues and can usually be re-finished twice.
What is the most durable hardwood floor available
Shaw Hardwood Floors Has a Superior Finish
Shaw Hardwoods with new and improved ScufResist™ Platinum resist scuffs up to 6X better than the competition! When life is tough, Shaw's ScufResist™ PLATINUM finish is tougher. So you can relax and let life happen on our hardwood floors.
Shaw's new hardwood finish is designed to help resist household scuffing on hardwood floors. Though durable, over time all hardwood floors scuff - it's part of their charm - but our patented finish keeps your floor looking younger longer. So you can live on it.
While this will certainly help the durability of the floor, it is the hardness of the floor that will give the best indication of durability. Refer to the Janka Hardness rating for a true indication of hardness for a selected species:
American Black Cherry
American Black Walnut
Yellow Birch
Red Oak
White Ash
White Oak
Hard Maple
Santos Mahogany
Brazilian Cherry
Brazilian Teak
Brazilian Walnut
What is the Easiest Types Of Hardwood Installations?
This is a good question...many variables are involved.
Easiest Types Of Hardwood Installations?
Looking around on the internet we've noticed too many websites make it sound like any hardwood floor installation is an easy weekend project. Sure, that one room that makes up only 160 square feet is a pretty simple one, but don't expect to get 1,000 square feet done in a weekend. In my opinion there's far too much hype with doing hardwood floors on your own. Why? Online retailers want that sale and home improvement stores assume anything can be a do it yourself project.
Folks if you're looking at hardwood floors, consider a professional for the work. However, for those that are determined, we've summarized the different types of installations, their difficulty factor and what aching parts of the body you're likely to encounter. For all types, expect a sore back.
Hardest Types- 2 1/4" Solid Strip Hardwood
narrower boards of 2 1/4" will take more time installing than a 5" plank. Work load is doubled. If you follow the proper specifications for naildowns (also called staple) and fasten every 6-8" apart on each board it's obvious the skinnier boards will take longer.
Not So Hard But High On The List Of Failures - Glue Downs
Consider a professional with the experience on this one. There's a lot of hands and knees work. Gluedowns can also get extremely messy with some of the adhesives being used today. Consider it this way. When urethane based adhesives first came into play in the mid 90's my first job was a mess.
Easiest DIY Product - Lock and Fold
It is as simple as it sounds! I really don't think it can get any easier. The lock and fold hardwood idea simply goes as easy as placing a board on the subfloor, grabbing another piece, engage the tongue and groove and move to the next board. The locking takes place when additional boards are in reality folded over the other.
Floating Floors - Glued
Floating glued type hardwood floors will require more time than lock and fold if they're wide plank. You'll be on your hands and knees all day long and always reaching in dozens of different positions for that hammer and tapping block. With a glued type floating floor you'll probably do just as I do and leave the glue bottle and cleanup rag more than an arms reach away. Good exercise yes, but this type goes much quicker than naildowns or direct gluedowns.
Some stores still carry the older common parquet. Most of the demand today has become more of a high end specialty product with very high quality. For those thinking of using the common product, the most common reason for failure is a result of not enough adhesive or wrong adhesive used. Another factor for failure has to do with no attention to what the parquet is glued to. Floors need to be clean and free of any contaminates.
Another favorite amongst the more discriminating buyer crowd. These installations can be intimidating in that layout and alignment is critical and should only be considered by experienced professionals. Herringbone is often glued direct, but some are installed by the nail or staple method to wood subfloors

The monthly challenge at Pink Dumbbells for February will be to achieve and sustain at least 90% compliance with your nutrition plan. According to Dr. John Berardi, his research and experience working with athletes and private clients have shown him that you don't need to be perfect 100% of the time on your nutrition plan to achieve the results you want–just getting 90% of your meals down will give you nearly identical results as that 100% of perfection, and you won't go nuts in the meanwhile.
Who wants to see if he's right?
Here are the basics:
1. If you are eating 6 meals a day, that is 42 total meals out of the week. To stay above 90% compliance, you can have up to FOUR cheat meals a week.
2. For the purposes of this challenge:
Cheat meal = any single meal of reasonable portion size that contains even one item not on your defined plan. A huge buffet dinner that includes 3 loaded plates and a dessert exceeds the limits of a normal splurge meal.
So in one week I can replace 4 authorized meals with
a) personal size pizza at Donato's
b) 1 c. rice with 1 c. Chinese take out food
c) regular on-plan dinner with bowl of ice cream for dessert
d) Chipotle barbacoa beef bowl
but not:
– entire large pizza with the works
– 4 plates at a Chinese buffet
– Entire 1/2 gallon carton of Ben and Jerry's
– 3 Chipotle burritos with extra cheese, sour cream, and guacamole plus chips and bladder buster Coke
3. A collaborative spreadsheet (sample) will be posted to Google Docs for check-ins. Checking in is easy–just type an x in the appropriate box if you:
a) MISS a meal entirely
b) TAKE a cheat meal
All of the percentages will be calculated automatically. There will be space left for you to include notes about your cheat if you like, but that is not mandatory. Click on the TAB with your name to access your own chart. All participants will be able to view each other's charts.
4. The challenge is open to Pink Dumbbells members as well as other fitness bloggers and enthusiasts who have a nutrition plan with 6 meals/day ready for February. If you'd like to take part in this experiment, send me an email with your email address by February 1 so I can add you as a collaborator on the shared spreadsheet.
Come on…tracking doesn't get much easier than this–you only need to mark your chart if you HAVEN'T eaten on plan. Let's make February a month of near (90%!) perfection!

The root causes of drug and alcohol addictions are as diverse as the people who suffer from them. Sexual abuse and domestic violence are two underlying causes of addiction that sometimes lead survivors to seek treatment at addiction and domestic violence or sexual abuse treatment centers. According to a report compiled by the Mental Health Association in New York State, rape victims are 26 times more likely to have problems with drug abuse and over 13 times more likely to have alcohol-related issues. If you have an addiction problem that stems from domestic or sexual abuse, call 1-888-319-2606 Who Answers? for assistance with finding a treatment program designed to address these underlying issues as a step toward achieving long-lasting sobriety.
Domestic violence and sexual abuse impact people in all demographics. However, statistics compiled by RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network) and the EVE Foundation indicate victims are disproportionately female. One reason for this could be that men are less likely to report acts of domestic violence or sexual abuse committed against them. Regardless of the gender, race or nationality of the victim, the trauma suffered can do long-lasting psychological harm.
"Victims may suffer from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger and feelings of suicide as a result of this type of abuse."Victims may suffer from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger and feelings of suicide as a result of this type of abuse. Some domestic and sexual abuse survivors may self-medicate with drugs and alcohol as a way of escaping those feelings and memories. Unfortunately, the misuse of drugs and alcohol can lead to addiction.
Symptoms of alcohol and drug addiction vary but share some common elements including:
- Uncontrolled consumption
- A need to increase the amount of the substance consumed to achieve the same effect
- Withdrawal symptoms after ceasing consumption of the substance
- Participation in dangerous activities while under the influence (e.g. drunk driving)
- Preoccupation with acquiring and consuming the substance
- Continued consumption of drugs or alcohol despite the consequences
- Negligence of responsibilities at home, school or work
- Legal or financial trouble related to the addiction (ex. DUI tickets)
- Problems in relationships as a result of consumption of the substance
- Attempts to hide the signs of consumption
- Changes in appetite and appearance
- A sudden gain or loss of weight
- Unexplained and sudden mood changes or disorder
- Tremors, slurred speech or bloodshot eyes
It's important that people suffering from drug or alcohol addiction seek help as soon as possible. If domestic or sexual violence is at the heart of the addiction, participating in a treatment program at an addiction and domestic violence or sexual abuse rehab and recovery center can be very beneficial.
Tips for Picking an Inpatient Treatment Center
Domestic violence and sexual abuse are sensitive subjects for many. Survivors often feel guilt or shame and may be reluctant to revisit the incident. Finding a rehab facility that specializes in or has extensive experience treating people in this group may make survivors feel more comfortable talking about and eventually resolving those issues. There are a couple of ways you can find the best inpatient treatment program for sexual abuse and domestic violence.
One way is to call our confidential helpline at 1-888-319-2606 Who Answers? and talk to one of our knowledgeable staff members. With access to thousands of rehab centers across the country, counselors can provide information about different recovery programs and help you find a facility that best fits your needs. The call center is always open, so you can call any time of the day or night.
Another option is to ask for referrals from family members, friends, healthcare providers, mental health professionals and other people you trust. The Internet is also a good research tool for finding addiction treatment centers with programs for domestic violence and sexual abuse survivors.
The best facility for you or your loved one will be one that addresses the individual's needs and goals. Some things to consider when searching for a treatment facility include the following:
- Site security
- Program length and cost of treatment
- Services offered
- Single-gender or coed facility
- Types of payment accepted
- Distance from primary residence
- Accommodations for disabilities
- Respect for diverse belief systems
- Availability of aftercare or extended care if needed
It is important to conduct research on any facility before signing up for a program. Check with local licensing agencies to make sure the center and medical staff are properly licensed. You also want to find out if there are any pending lawsuits or disciplinary actions. Lastly, search for patient reviews online to get a sense of the type of treatment you can expect at the facility.
Addressing the underlying issues fueling an addiction to drugs and alcohol can increase your chances of staying clean and sober for life. Call our national helpline at 1-888-319-2606 Who Answers? to find the addiction and domestic violence or sexual abuse recovery center for you.

What Friends Are For
Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham of USA comedy Playing House find the funny in being long-term buddies.
Who needs an epidural?
When Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham were writing the birthing episode of their new USA comedy series Playing House, the pair devised a scene that called for an accidental natural delivery.
Parham plays Maggie, the mom-to-be who ditches her cheating husband at the 11th hour and teams up with her lifelong friend, Emma (St. Clair) — a career woman with no child-rearing skills — to raise the offspring.
But in real life, it was St. Clair who gave birth to a 10-pound girl — her first child — the day after the pair penned the episode.
"I tried to get as many drugs as were legal in the state of California," she recalls. "In our episode, Maggie can't get an epidural. And then the almost identical thing started to happen to me. I thought what we were writing couldn't ever happen. But it does."
Life imitated art for Parham as well. The actress became pregnant not long after she and St. Clair wrote the pilot.
By the time the real-life best friends shot the episode, Parham was 8-and-a-half months along, just like her character.
The half-hour comedy, from Universal Cable Productions, boasts more than its sleep-deprived executive producer–stars, best known for their short-lived NBC comedy series Best Friends Forever.
An impressive roster of comedy veterans including Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle), Keegan-Michael Key (Key and Peele) and Zach Woods (The Office) join the cast of Playing House, which premiered in April.
Emmy's Tatiana Siegel caught up with the Upright Citizens Brigade alums during a break on the day they shot the first-season finale. The stars dished about everything from poopy diapers to shattering female archetypes in primetime.
How difficult was it to bring this series to fruition?
Parham: It really wasn't hard at all. Universal wanted to do something with us.
At first, they wanted to revive Best Friends Forever. But when it became clear that it wasn't something we wanted to do, they were like, "What else have you got?"
Playing House offers a new spin on the buddy comedy. What are some of your favorite buddy comedies from the past?
St. Clair: We love Laverne & Shirley. Those old episodes totally hold up. We love Kate & Allie. That was something that inspired us — the idea of two women raising their children together. And we love Gilmore Girls.
Parham: I Love Lucy, The Golden Girls… anything that celebrates female friendship.
Do you think female friendship is accurately depicted on TV?
St. Clair: A lot of times you see the archetypal friendships of the bitch, the slut and the nerd. And I'm like, "Nope." First of all, no woman is [that one-dimensional]. And these women would never be friends.
We wanted to do a show where we explored best friendship that begins in childhood, with the kind of person who has your back for your whole life, who can call you on your s@%t...

Last Updated on
Before talking about The top 10 Best Hud For Car, I need to stop for a moment. I need to share some memories with you as a result when I saw Head-Up-Display (HUD) for the first time.
In my video library, I keep the trilogy of Back To The Future (1985, 1989, and 1990) for the genius Steven Spielberg and Michael J. Fox. I used to watch it from time to time. I have kept the trilogy since it was on old videotapes before the revolution of computer CDs and Internet revolutionary evolution and updated it to a BluRay copy to keep it clear and High Definition as much as possible.
You may agree with me when you were excited about the second part of this trilogy and especially the journey to the future; our tomorrow land. How will the future look like? This is the question that many writers talked about and produced a lot of books whether it is plain scientific books or sci-fi novels.
So, I used to watch this trilogy (and many movies about the future, in fact) to compare the talent of these writers and actual reality. Believe me when I tell you: it is amazing and you should try and compare by yourself.
Technology never stops dazzling us; starting from the internet itself till HUD.

Best Head UP display For Cars Buying Guide
What is HUD (heads up display) Exactly?
HUD is the abbreviation of Heads Up Display. It is a new technology to see and deal with road and driving data in front of your eyes in your car without the need of leaving steering wheel or look at another side.
The required data is viewed in a transparent way onto the windshield of a car as a digital transparent image. (Sometimes HUD works using retractable combiner instead of Windshield). It views the same information that is displayed on the dashboard.
HUD is the normal update of Apple CarPlay Stereo and its brothers. With HUD you needn't look at other sides, your concentration will be completely on the driving road.
Why I should buy a Car Hud for my car?
There are many reasons to own such a device. If you are a technology geek, you needn't my explanation of why you should buy a HUD. It is incredibly awesome to see your driving instructions and personal activities (like calling and messaging) showing through a transparent shield that doesn't block or disperse your vision/concentration among many devices. That's really cool.
But if you want to organize some benefits in bullets, HUD is important because:
- Safe Concentration: Calculate how many objectives that may disperse your concentration (radio, calls, messages, emails, dashboard, maps, and more). HUD keeps your eyes on the viewpoint of driving. Its name comes from making your head up, not left, right, or even on the steering wheel panel.
- Easier: HUD uses a handful of hand movements to control, plus all orders are available by audio assistant like Siri of iPhone. Imagine, you answer your incoming calls by just moving your hand from left to right in front of your face. It is easy peasy.
- Lesser Accidents: Most of the accidents are happened because of the first reason: lack of Concentration. When you find all the required data to deal with in front of your eyes, this will be a vital factor to reduce the number of road accidents.
- All in One Solution: You want to make many things while you are driving your car. You want to know the road and traffic data, answer and make calls, respond to messages, check your direction, and more. HUD offers these features in one device and more.
- Compatible with your smartphone: Whatever your mobile operating system type is (Android or iOS), HUD works with both of them.

Borked Bitcoin bunker MtGox in administration: Lawyer seizes control
$500m in BTC up in smoke
Collapsed Bitcoin exchange MtGox has been put into administration by a court in Japan, where the website is based, after it became clear the site's chances of recovery are nil.
The biz, which has mislaid half a billion dollars of BTC, was granted protection from creditors in February by the Tokyo District Court as it battled to survive.
But today an administrator was appointed by the bench to effectively seize control of the exchange, paving the way for bankruptcy proceedings and the liquifying of assets.
"I, as the provisional administrator, will administer the assets of the company under the supervision of the Tokyo District Court," lawyer Nobuaki Kobayashi said in a statement [PDF].
"I will strive to fairly and equitably administer the company's assets, both domestically and internationally, by attempting to utilize certain foreign procedures, including a Chapter 15 filing in the United States of America.
"The future outlook is that, although it is subject to the decision by the Tokyo District Court, it is expected that the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings will be ordered."
The BTC trading website had formally applied to the court for time to rebuild, but this was today shot down by the bench. "The dismissal of the application for commencement of a civil rehabilitation procedure will create great inconvenience and concerns to our creditors for which we apologize," the exchange's founder Mark Karpelès said afterwards in a statement [PDF].
People familiar with the legal battle whispered to the Wall Street Journal that contacting creditors all over the world was proving too difficult for the company, and that the website's staff had run out of ideas for fixing the mess. This led to the court appointing an administrator to take over the exchange.
MtGox hit the rocks in February after somehow misplacing about 850,000 Bitcoins – today worth $500m dollars – 750,000 of which belonged to its customers, and 100,000 was its own private stockpile. It claimed the missing virtual currency was stolen by fraudsters, and filed for bankruptcy protection with liabilities of 6.5 billion yen ($64m).
At the end of last month, the exchange found a stash of 200,000 BTC locked in its digital vault, which if liquified will still leave plenty of creditors out of pocket. But if a buyer can be found for MtGox, people owed money could have a slice of future earnings, it's been suggested.
"MtGox Co., Ltd. intends to fully cooperate with the provisional administrator including by handing over to the provisional administrator current negotiations with sponsor candidates to maximize the distribution to all creditors following a transfer of the business to a sponsor," Karpelès said today.
Speaking of cooperation, the exchange's founder was supposed to travel to the United States this week to face questions about the bankruptcy and a subpoena from the the US Department of Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as part of a related civil action suit against the exchange.
But MtGox's lawyers said Karpelès needed to hire new representation to defend against FinCEN's issues, and he wouldn't be going to the US until he got it. They've asked the US courts to wait until early next month, although they wouldn't guarantee he'd show up then either. ®

The quest to find enlightenment and/or awakening, as taught by Buddha, has compelled people to travel all over the earth. So while one particular hike to a hidden spot in San Diego County is not guaranteed to provide an extreme meditative experience, it will offer an unusual view of the representative symbol of Buddhism.
It's a modest trek of about 1,110 feet up to the top of The Van Dam Peak. But be warned, there are a few areas where the incline slopes up quite steeply, and you may have to stop every now and then to take a breather. This hike starts in Sabre Springs at the Middle Ridge Terrace trailhead and works its way into the easternmost part of the city of Poway.
You'll be greeted with a stunning panoramic view when you make it to the top. Keep your eyes peeled, though, because you're not alone. At the top of this peak is a special secret: a solid-stone Buddha (weighing at least a couple hundred pounds), silently overlooking the land. You'll also notice a concrete pad at the summit that once supported a communication tower. It now has a couple of lawn chairs that offer a comfortable view, and support, after a mildly strenuous hike.
The Buddha is large, though not enormous. I noticed beautiful details etched into his robe. Sadly, his face seems to have been assaulted. I met a local on his daily hike who offered up the little information he had. Apparently, Buddha used to have a better view. Fate, or perhaps drunken fools, landed him in a ditch. That ditch became his resting place for several months, until unexpectedly, he victoriously re-emerged at the top of the peak. The turbulent experience left some permanent scars on Buddha's face.
There are unanswered questions surrounding the statue. First, how did something weighing half a ton make it up a mountain? One guess is he was brought up in the middle of the night on a Toyota 4Runner; there's no way anyone could drag him up by hand. But who brought him up in the first place? Who defaced him, and who later tried to make things right?
Despite having lost part of his nose and mouth, Buddha's face still show a joyful expression. That's the enlightened takeaway: Keep on smiling, despite your misfortunes.

Frequently Asked Jewelry Appraisal Questions
Find the answers to the most asked questions about appraisals and gemology.
Why do I need a jewelry appraisal?
There are many reasons you may need to have your jewelry appraised. Some of the more common ones are:
- Documentation for Jewelry Insurance needs.
- Updating an old appraisal.
- Wanting to sell an item.
- Division of common property during a divorce or the probate of an estate.
- Confirmation and valuation of a recently purchased item.
- Estate or Trust Preparation for the distribution of jewelry in a will.
- Identification and Valuation of inherited items.
- Just plain curious!
How long does is take to appraise an item?
The average item takes about 20 to 30 minuets to appraise. Some items are fairly straight forward to appraise, while others are very complex, and may require additional time, including extended research for very unusual items.
What will I get when the appraisal is done?
Once the appraisal is finished, the appraiser will be able to print out the completed documents before leaving. While some items may require additional time to research values, the vast majority of appraisals can be completed at the time of the examination, and you will be provided with both a printed and a digital copy.
How often do I need to update an appraisal?
With rapidly changes in the precious metal market, and frequent changes in the diamond and gemstone markets, appraisals need to be updated every three to five years. In years past, jewelry appraisals could be left in place for extended periods of time with out worry of the items becoming under insured. Now most insurance companies suggest having your items re-evaluated regularly every few years. With Expert Jewelry Appraisers, we securely archive your appraisal, so updating the information can be done easily and at a reduced cost when it's time to update.
Can I use my Receipt to obtain Jewelry Insurance?
Receipts or documents provided by the seller may be able to secure temporary coverage, until an appraisal can be done. Most Insurance companies require a Jewelry Appraisal to be done by someone other than the seller, who is also a Graduate Gemologist, and trained in appraisal theory. Only 3 % of retail jewelers have a Graduate Gemologist on staff, and most have not been certified to appraise jewelry. At Expert Jewelry Appraisers our appraisers are Graduate Gemologists, and Certified Jewelry Appraisers have no conflicts of interests, because they do not engage in the buying or selling of jewelry.
What is a Clarity Enhanced Diamond?
How does clarity enhancement affect my diamond value? The most common types of "enhancements" that can enhance or improve a diamonds clarity are laser drilling and fracture filling. Both treatments can improve the looks of lower grade diamonds.
In laser drilling an extremely narrow laser beam is used to drill into the diamond and reach an inclusion, typically a sizable "carbon spot". The laser then vaporizes the carbon, leaving a white or clear void, which may be filled with a resin to make it appear less noticeable. This is a permanent enhancement and although it does not increase a diamonds value, it does improve the appearance and make the diamond more attractive.
Fracture filling is the injection of a transparent resin filler into a diamonds fractures that reach the surface. The optical properties of the filler is very close to that of the diamonds, so the fractures appear to almost disappear. This can make a very significant improvement in a diamond with large fractures or feathers, making a very hard to sell diamond more marketable. The clarity grade of a fracture filled diamond can often be improved by one or two grades, which will effect it's value. The filling is not considered to be permanent due to it's tendency to melt out of the diamond if the diamond is heated by a jewelers torch during routine jewelry repairs. Great care must be taken when repairing jewelry set with fracture filled diamonds.
Any Clarity Enhanced diamond must be properly and fully disclosed so that consumers know what they are buying. The Gemologist Appraisers at Expert Jewelry Appraisers will check for clarity enhancements when they grade a diamond, and report on any enhancements found.
Is it safe to buy Diamonds and Jewelry on the Internet?
How can I be sure the items were described accurately and I paid a fair Price? Internet sales take place in many forms from retailers web sites, to online auctions and classified ads. In all cases the consumers are at a disadvantage because they can not personally examine the item. The decision to buy is based on the photos and information supplied by the seller, which may or may not be accurate. In order to safe guard your internet purchases from fraud and misrepresentations, have your internet purchases authenticated and verified by a Gemologist Appraiser.
At Expert Jewelry Appraisers, our Jewelry Consultation Service will authenticate any certificates or documents supplied by the seller, and offer an opinion as to its quality and value. If you desire to have the item insured, a Jewelry Insurance Appraisal can be performed to provide a document that can be used for insurance purposes as well.
How can I sell my Jewelry if I no longer need or want it?
When it comes time to sell, a good starting point is to get your jewelry appraised, so that both you and any potential buyer will know the facts. Selling previously owned jewelry is not an easy task, and having a current appraisal with a detailed description and valuation can make the difference in completing the sale, and at a fair price. By investing in a Pre-Sale Consultation, our appraiser will help you determine what you have, where the best place to sell it is, and a reasonable expectation of a selling price. With a full written Jewelry Appraisal, you will document the facts that any potential buyer will want to know, which can help you justify your asking price. The appraisal will also include digital images that can be used for your marketing purposes.
