Dell replaces execs in global reorg
Two high-level Dell execs are leaving the PC maker as part of a Meltdown-battling global reorganization. Mike Cannon, Dell's president of global operations, will retire as of January 31; chief marketing officer Mike Jarvis will depart sometime during the current fiscal quarter - which also retires on January 31. According to a …
I've never actually met an Exec who;
a) knows anything actually worth knowing (outside golf)
b) is worth their massive pay rate and/or bonus
c) actually works as hard as a real worker.
Get rid of them all I say!
Little typo
Cannon was continue to[sic]
Cannon was to continue to.
Only mention it because you made me think the company Cannon was involved and then it was hard to work out what the error was.
As to the event, well who cares about 'em we all know that it is not a matter of ability and more to do with nepotism when it comes to those leading big corporate companies. Often they roam in packs, and you can work out what will happen to a company as one of a particular group gets appointed and then brings in his fellow cronies, who just repeat their old moves.

Obama appoints DoD acquisition policy chief to head spending watchdog
Thursday - 7/5/2012, 8:18pm EDT
President Barack Obama announced he will appoint Richard Ginman, the director of Defense Department procurement policy, to chair the Government Accountability and Transparency(GAT) Board, a spending and transparency watchdog.
Ginman has served as the director of Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP) for a little more than year. He previously served as the deputy director for three years starting in 2008 and in other positions in the office before that.
Ginman retired as a Navy rear admiral in 2000, after serving in high-ranking acquisition positions throughout the service in the 1990s. Ginman also has experience in the private sector, including a stint leading General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems' maritime information unit.
Obama created the GAT Board in a June 2011 executive order as part of the administration's Campaign to Cut Waste initiatives. The board was designed to increase transparency surrounding federal spending, modeled on a similar effort to track spending disbursed by the 2009 Recovery Act.
Obama appointed Earl Devaney, who also led the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, to be the GATB's first chairman last August. Devaney retired in December.
The governmentwide board is staffed with a number of high-profile agency officials, including inspectors general and acquisition and financial chiefs.
The last GAT Board meeting was scheduled for June 2012.

Miles O'Brien is a pilot, airplane owner and freelance journalist who lives in Manhattan. His blog is located at www.milesobrien.com. The opinions expressed are his own.
A lot of travelers boarding an Airbus today might be thinking twice. After all, yet another Bus is at the bottom of yet another ocean – and another 153 souls have gone west.
Could the European airliners be latter-day versions of the DC-10? That is, a flawed design and thus a relatively dangerous way to fly?
For the entire Airbus airliner fleet (more than 5400 are in service globally), the numbers do not support that conclusion.
In July 2008, Airbus' bitter rival Boeing released a "Statistical Summary of Commercial Jet Airplane Accidents" from the dawn of the jet age in 1959 through 2007.

The charges for stocks and shares on the stock market are fluctuating from a single day to but one more day. Even so, even though the evolution of expenses may well have been quickly anticipated until finally 2008, the financial crunch proved that any stock is inclined, and also there is no less hazardous expense. But, perhaps in this delicate financial circumstance, there is even now hope for people that would like to offer danger-free of charge and effectively. When using the possibilities binaries, the organization procedure may well be made less complicated. Allow us uncover out what the selections binaries give and you ought to be ready to carry out it.
Several fantastic tools employed in the evaluation and identification of a stock's real really worth are readily accessible at the optionfair motor. This can be the price that you require to give to the holder binary options brokers of the items in scenario you would like to offer off them right after for an amazing revenue. The traders decide to be the potential buyers. In addition, the value of the energetic is envisioned to rise in idea just in scenario an investor "bids" via a binary options trading. On the other hand, obtaining ten shares from a complete of one million will genuinely have an irrelevant effect on the value. In circumstance you require to impact the cost in 1 way or a different, you could have to make use of the groups shares options obtainable.
Industry groups generally are entities' associations operating just like an investing unit. The binary investing possibilities are employed in this case, and normally there are two predicted consequences from this operational procedure. The customer or the seller obtains revenue. binary options strategy Typically, the ROI or return of investment in such a circumstance is ten-20 %, that is fairly large.However, last outcomes could now be a ton much more breathtaking mainly because of the presence of selections brokers.
Binary alternatives permits a minimum investment at 10 percent. This implies that you will have to make confident 10 % of the cash required for a transaction. The cutbacks or the money flow are dispersed appropriately to the individuals, using into account the part they have in the enterprise operation. The possibilities binaries are vulnerable, and you will absolutely will need to have a outstanding adviser, just at 1st. This is the suitable time when the alternative air expert services are extremely suggested.
You require to determine the possible positive aspects of an energetic when you believe about the binary options buying and selling. binary options trading If you are investing groups shares of Microsoft or Google, you may possibly not have an impact on the costs in any situation. Just essential markets teams can alter the costs in the circumstance of enormous businesses. Right here, the approaches of choices brokers are now getting utilized. The shares are traded using a shopping for-promoting contract, and they can even be seen as risk-free discounts. The shares of the primary organizations ended up affected by the economic downturn, nonetheless quite a few perks could potentially be obtained. Even so, we're speaking concerning some severe bargains, as very well as the minimal investment with this sort of operation implies millions of dollars. The predicted effects are equivalent, and an action of this kind can be regarded as profitable if it offers the traders at minimum 10 % income in the first month.

Brokers cost a higher premium for buying and selling this form of contract, nonetheless for speculators is the least complicated way to trade.
Rates are the total the broker expenses for the option. If the forex is hugely volatile the broker will set a bigger top quality. If the strike value is set near to the current market value of the forex the premium will be elevated. It will also be increased the lengthier the time span until expiration.on.
One particular purpose folks get concerned in currency alternative buying and selling is just to speculate on the cost movements of the forex. These people today are exclusively gain driven. This is the greatest element of the market place.
A different use of currency solution trading is for the goal of hedging a portfolio. If a human being is lengthy the actual currency they might acquire puts in buy to minimize the binary options trading online chance of price tag fluctuations although the maintain the forex. Individuals who do enterprise international may possibly use this technique as a protective measure.
A riskier approach of trading forex possibilities is promoting alternatives brief with the intention of covering them when the selling price moves in the appropriate route. Because loses are not minimal in this type of trading. brokers generally require significant cash deposits to secure these trades.
To summarize, forex selection trading can be as challenging as trading exact currencies with a few exceptions. Your loses are restricted to the top quality you shell out to personal the rights of the selection. Revenue can be big as a proportion of investment if you trade properly.
If you've got ever believed about alternative trading, then you know the issue traders initially confront. They want the leverage and prospective revenue of investing, but don't binary options system want to chance any money to test it out. I can relate mainly because I was in the identical boat again when I was obtaining started out.
I am lucky that I was equipped to conquer my concern and just take motion. Since the final results have not only shocked me -- they have changed my existence!
When I say I overcame my worry, I failed to do it by dashing into the fray of the marketplace. And I didn't do it by stuffing my head full of buying and selling approaches and the most current information headlines.
What I did was far a lot more advantageous. I began employing a zero-threat approach of solution investing. What is this approach? I will explain to you... It can be termed "paper buying and selling." Here is how it performs...
When you paper trade, you really don't chance any authentic cash. You only pretend that you're risking dollars. 1st trade binary options , you find a stock you want to trade. 2nd, you fake that you have acquired an choice on that stock. Third, you report the cost as if you had really purchased the alternative agreement.
After getting into your trade on paper, just monitor the selling price to see if it is going in your favor or not.
Paper investing can be even more valuable if you give oneself imaginary investment money -- say $three,000. Then use this capital to buy and market options. Only subtract cash from the stability when you purchase an choice. Then increase or minimize the stability when you shut your placement.
In this method, you can see how superior your investing skills truly are. You can see if you would have really made income or missing money in real-planet circumstances.

Choices buying and selling has been the centre of much debate of recent several years. Is it harmful? Can we go bankrupt? Indeed, selections as a kind of derivative instrument is far much more intricate than the stocks that they are created primarily based on and, like a wild stallion, can hurt you if you do not fully grasp how it performs and how to use it effectively.
This delivers us to the subject of this guide.
In this guide, I shall present five reasons why alternatives buying and selling is really better than stock buying and selling in purchase to dispel the age outdated myths of how hazardous selections trading is. Let us remember this Options buying and selling is risky only when you do not recognize it.
one) Variable Leverage
The leverage that possibilities give you is possibly the principal motive why folks gravitate to selections trading in the initial place. Leverage is the capacity to do far more with the similar quantity of dollars. Buying and selling alternatives makes it possible for you to make a great deal much more gain on the identical transfer on the underlying stock. When you get the stock by itself with out binary options trading margin, you are simply building 1% gain on a 1% move in your favor. However, in alternatives trading, you could be producing 10% earnings on that similar 1% move the stock produced or even up to a hundred% on that exact same one% move!
Certainly, the attractiveness of leverage in options, not like in futures investing, is that it is VARIABLE!
You could take on a lot more leverage for much more possibility or lesser leverage for lesser threat by selecting alternatives of distinct strike rates and/or expiration thirty day period. In normal, the a lot more out of the cash selections, the bigger the leverage and the a lot more in the income selections, the decrease the leverage.
Leverage cuts the two methods. This is why the splendor of leverage in choices trading is that it permits you to do the very same trades with significantly lesser cash, as this kind of, you could just use only funds you can find the money for to and intend to get rid of in any failed trade for every single options trade so leverage truly support you management your losses alternatively!
2) Very low Capital binary options brokers Requirement
Apple Inc., AAPL, is buying and selling at $295.36 nowadays which indicates it requires $29,536 to get a hundred shares currently. Nevertheless, AAPL's at the dollars simply call choices expenses only something like $715 to control the profits on that identical one hundred shares of Apple!
three) Wager Downwards Without Margin
In buy to earnings from a downwards transfer on a stock in stock trading, you could only limited the stock which incurs margin. However, in alternatives buying and selling, all you need to have to do in order to bet on a stock heading downwards is to Purchase its set selections with no margin required at all. That's proper, shopping for set selections for profit to draw back will work just the similar as getting get in touch with possibilities for profit to upside. There is no need to have to own the stock beforehand and there is no need for margin!
four) Multi-Directional Revenue
In stock investing, you only revenue when the stock goes in the route you want it to. Upwards when you invest in the stock or downwards when you quick the stock. There is no way to profit in binary options trading equally eventualities at the same time and there is no way to gain if the price of the stock does not transfer. On the other hand, in selections buying and selling, this sort of multi-directional gains are achievable! There are possibilities approaches that makes it possible for you to earnings no matter if the stock goes upwards or downwards swiftly and there are possibilities tactics that profits even if the price of the stock remains unchanged! This sort of is the authentic magic of choices strategies which greatly will increase your possibilities of profitable in selections investing as opposed to stock buying and selling!
5) Perform Banker
Sick and tired of constantly currently being at the player's facet of the table? In selections trading, you could swap as a substitute to the banker's side of the table and do what marketplace makers do by promoting alternatives to men and women who are desires to just take the facet of the player! When the gamers lose, as they usually do, you get to retain the bet as earnings just like a authentic banker! Only alternatives investing has the "bet" which you get to hold and it is identified as "extrinsic worth".

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- As part of his initiative to revitalize west Louisville, Mayor Greg Fischer announced Friday that the city has purchased a 30-acre tract of land it intends to market to companies looking to expand or relocate in Louisville.
The property is the former home of National Tobacco at 30th and Muhammad Ali Blvd, and was owned by state government. "This property is ideal and ready for development," Fischer said in a news release. "The site is clear with no significant environmental issues. It's on a rail line, abuts the interstate and is surrounded by a ready workforce."
The mayor says he wants to attract jobs, retail businesses, and new housing to the Russell, California, Portland, Chickasaw, and Shawnee neighborhoods.
Fischer said Friday, "If we can create good jobs in these neighborhoods that brings investment and spending, retail, eventually attract other shops, stores and lead citizens to buying building and renovating housing as well, the whole ecosystem has got to work together."
The city will pay $1.2 million for the property. Fischer says he and Greater Louisville, Inc. are looking for companies that will bring good jobs. "We're not looking for just any tenant. This is prime land and we want prime jobs that pay well," Fischer said. "It's very unusual to have 30 acres ready to develop in the urban core of Louisville."

Review of the Year - October 06
After the highs of September, October 2006 was where things went a little awry for the Toffees.
It started badly, with the first defeat of the campaign in the shape of a 2-1 reverse at Middlesbrough.
Despite a creditable performance, goals from Mark Viduka and Yakubu put the Blues to the sword.
In the wake of dropped points at home against both Wigan and Manchester City, Everton boss David Moyes kenw his side's decent league placing should have been so much better.
The response was positive. Penalties and Andy Johnson have not made happy bedfellows in 2006 - thanks to a series of controversial refereeing decisions which infuriated Everton's fans.
The suggestion in the media was that comments from rival managers about the player had influenced the judgement of match officials. If that was the case, then this was the game where the comments began.
Neil Warnock was not happy with the penalty that was awarded for a foul on Johnson by Claude Davis. And he made his feelings abundantly clear after a game Everton went on to win 2-0.
Although Everton were awarded four penalties in the Premiership between August and December, only one was for a foul on Johnson - and he was undoubtedly the most fouled Everton player in those months.
Nevertheless, following that victory a 4-0 thumping of Luton in the League Cup continued to boost the side's spirits. The most notable strike of that contest was a late Anichebe effort - his first of the season - underlining his growing credentials.
A 1-1 draw at Arsenal earned courtesy of the ubiquitous Tim Cahill headed strike ensured the month ended well.

"We developed an advanced vehicle framework and scalable powertrain components in Simulink®, designed controllers with Stateflow®, automated the assembly of models with MATLAB® scripts, and then distributed the complex simulation runs on a computing cluster—all within a single environment."
Sylvain Pagerit, Argonne National Laboratory
Engineers building next-generation fuel cell, hybrid electric, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles must optimize fuel economy and performance while containing development costs. To meet these goals, they need to simulate multiple powertrain configurations without building costly physical prototypes.
In response to this need, Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) collaborated with leading auto-makers to develop the Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit © (PSAT), an automotive engineering tool that evaluates a vehicle's fuel economy and performance by simulating its transient behavior and control system characteristics. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Vehicle Technologies Program funded the development of PSAT and uses PSAT as its primary vehicle simulation tool for all FreedomCAR and 21st Century Truck Partnership activities.
Using Simulink® and other MathWorks™ products, Argonne researchers not only developed PSAT; they also distributed the many complex simulations needed to evaluate vehicle performance in a multiprocessor environment. Distributing the hundreds of simulations required for each vehicle enabled them to get results much more quickly.
DOE studies frequently include up to 800 vehicles that employ a wide range of technologies. Evaluating just one vehicle involves a complex set of variables, technologies, and performance metrics, including driving cycle, fuel economy, and range (for plug-in vehicles). Argonne researchers needed a flexible modeling and simulation environment that would enable PSAT to support a wide range of technologies. "We wanted a design that would make it easy to plug in new technologies," notes Argonne researcher Sylvain Pagerit. "For example, changing an engine had to be simple."
The group also needed to automate the many complex simulations required for each study.
Argonne researchers used MathWorks tools to develop the PSAT platform and accelerate the analysis of powertrain configurations.
"We developed an advanced vehicle framework and scalable powertrain components in Simulink®, designed controllers with Stateflow®, automated the assembly of models with MATLAB® scripts, and then distributed the complex simulation runs on a computing cluster," says Pagerit.
Working in Simulink, Pagerit and his colleagues created a vehicle framework based on bond-graph, which captured the energy flows around the system. They then developed models for a wide range of powertrain components, including the fuel cell, engine, electric machine, and battery.
Using Stateflow®, the team developed control systems to optimize fuel efficiency and balance power use in hybrid vehicles from the combustion engine and electric motor.
Argonne engineers developed algorithms in MATLAB® that generated Simulink models from the framework and powertrain components, automating the creation of vehicle models based on each study's requirements. For example, for a DOE study Argonne used the MATLAB scripts to generate models for 780 vehicle configurations and to automatically scale battery size, engine power, and other powertrain component parameters. Working in Simulink, the team optimized fuel economy using the DIviding RECTangle (DIRECT) optimization technique, which required at least 30 iterations and 400 simulations per vehicle.
To reduce simulation time, the Argonne team used MathWorks tools to run PSAT simulations in parallel on a computer cluster with 16 worker nodes. Using Parallel Computing Toolbox™, they set up their simulations to be executed by MATLAB® Distributed Computing Server™ workers running on the computer cluster.
Argonne plans to expand the cluster to 32 worker nodes to handle the increasing number of studies with even larger data sets requested by the DOE.

it's a steep driveway, with a wall (depicted on the left of the drawing) around our front yard on one side and another wall (depicted on the right of the drawing) along the next door neighbor's steps. in the summer the car gets insanely hot. a carport would help. here's a plan i made for one that we'd build cheaply out of framing lumber and then grow vining plants on.

i think that the vast majority of toilets are pretty unattractive. boring, at least. so, how could you create a decent-looking piece of furniture out of a toilet? this idea is assuming that i would build something around an existing toilet, which would preserve its function and relative cleanliness. it's one of the few things i don't think i've ever seen a designer try to tamper with: toilet design. and why not?!

made this as a 3-month daily planner/journal by simply cutting notebook paper in half (just eyeballed it), then folding a small stack of those half-sheets in half. each (side of a) page of this little book (1/4 sheet of notebook paper) represented a day. i nailed two holes in the crease and put jute twine through it. the cover was from a trader joes bag that i'd bought all the groceries for a road trip in, with some fibrous tissue paper stuff glued on top & then i applied some cheapo watercolors. took almost no time at all to make, weighed nothing, and packed absolutely flat. and it kept all my notes for the entire summer. i've made many of these over the years, but this one was the first and it's still my favorite. this one covered june-july-august, 2000.
(whoa… that's 12 years ago… i was 18 when i made this. with all the things i've lost and all the places i've lived since then, i'm truly surprised i've hung onto it.)

bookwoman_cat said:
**** stars. Wow! This is an amazing retelling of the saga of Henry VIII and his efforts to marry Anne Boleyn. Told from the point of view of Oliver Cromwell who becomes the second most powerful man in England because he has the ear of the king and enables his marriage. In his fight against Henry and the heretics of the new Protestant faiths, Thomas More does not come off a quite the hero that he has been portrayed in previous depictions. The dialogue and descriptions of the period are so adept, that you sometimes wonder if Ms. Mantel is the reincarnation of a person who was actually a "fly on the wall" during all the conversations. Highly recommend

Wolf Hall is a fictionalized biography documenting the rise to power of Thomas Cromwell in the court of Henry VIII through to the death of Sir Thomas More. Born to a working-class family, Cromwell rose to become the right-hand man of Cardinal Wolsey and eventually the powerful adviser to the King. He oversaw Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon and subsequent marriage to Anne Boleyn, the English church's break with Rome and the dissolution of the monasteries. Mantel's novel offers an alternative to that characterization of Cromwell as well as that of Thomas More. Cromwell is presented as a pragmatic and talented man who cares deeply for his "family", whereas, More is presented as an arrogant hypocritical religious fanatic. The novel ends with the execution of Thomas More, bringing Cromwell to the height of his power and influence. The first part of the book was a bit slow, and it was difficult to keep all the characters straight, but in the end I found it a fascinating look at a chaotic time in history. A 4 out of 5 stars.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A Glendale, Ky. woman turned a tanning visit in to a jail visit after police said she passed out in a bed.
Louisville Metro Police arrested 27-year-old Katrina Jackson Thursday afternoon at the Sun Tan City on Dixie Highway.
According to the police report, officers were called out when Jackson went over her allotted time and she did not answer the door when employees knocked on the door. EMS and police responded to the scene.
Police said once they made contact with Jackson, she appeared to have slurred speech and could not keep her balance. Officers also said they found white residue on a mirror inside her purse.
Jackson was arrested and is now facing several charges including possession of a controlled substance and public intoxication. She is also charged with disorderly conduct after police said she loudly cursed other customers.

Super Starter Set: Nest Bowls by Morph
Know someone moving into their own kitchen for the first time? We can't think of a better starter bowl set than these colorful and brilliantly designed stacking pieces by Morph. More photos below...
We love how all the pieces come together in this stacking set. It includes non-slip mixing bowls, measuring cups and a juicer. They fit together just right for stacking in a small cupboard. How efficient.
These are designed by Morph, a design firm in the UK. They'll be available at London retailer Joseph Joseph in October. No word on USA availability yet; if we find anything out we'll let you know!

These are totally snazzy and colorful, and yet, all I can think is: "eeew! they're plastic! just think of all the scratches and discolorations and germs they'll have after a few months of use!"
I wish this set (or similar) came in a glass/metal combo, or all metal. I'd buy it for sure.
It is a great space saver. Love the colors. Like you said, ideal for a first timer.
I'm glad no one has inflicted that kind of horror on me. I do a ton of baking, so I have a nice set of stacking *steel* mixing bowls. Easily cleanable, holds up to heavy use, and looks good.
I've added a mesh colander/strainer and a steel "salad" bowl to the set, and it still stacks nicely. A good citrus reamer is about $3 (even from Sur La Table). Add in a Microplane grater, and a young cook is set up for endless batches of bread, cobbler, lemonade, pasta and pancakes. I should add a set of salad servers so the salad bowl stops being used for endless bread dough batches...
The problem with plastic is that it doesn't hold up to heavy use. It shows wear quickly, and that wear makes it hard to clean.
Glass or metal bowls are definitely the way to go. Plastic is good for giving to the kids to play in the bathtub with.
Its strange to me how you guys will do a post about getting plastics out of the kitchen and then do a post about plastic mixing bowls.
These would be PERFECT for a mobile home/RV or small vacation house! Super cute.
OH these are perfect. I need them asap.

Dining Out for Life®
Subaru partner Dining Out For Life holds an annual event that raises money for AIDS service organizations. Every April for the past 22 years, more than 3,000 restaurants in 60 cities around the country – from coast to coast – commit a percentage of their proceeds to assist those in their communities living with AIDS and HIV.

The biggest challenge to any farm to table devotee is finding reliable, small, local purveyors who can provide steady quantity and quality.
Other restaurants rely on large national food companies to provide regular deliveries of everything they need from paper towels to produce. When they want tomatoes, no matter the time of year, a crate of tomatoes can be delivered. That makes planning menus a breeze.
Restaurants committed to farm to table principles have to forgo that convenience and predictability. But in exchange they reap other rewards.
"We don't get food deliveries from big companies, so we don't always know what we will be getting in or what we'll be cooking," said Olexy. "When a farmer drops off a bunch of sweet potatoes, we know we will be making something with sweet potatoes that day."
Gathering the freshest local ingredients can be a labor-intensive job, but it is one that these chefs relish.
The Brandywine Valley, where Talula's Table is located, is known as the mushroom capital of the world, and every week Olexy drives herself to local pickers to load up her car.
"I love the aroma in my car driving back to the restaurant," she noted. "With mushrooms this fresh, all we do in the kitchen is give them a bit of salt and pepper and maybe olive oil, so people can experience what a mushroom should really taste like."
Similarly, twice a week, McCollow hits the farmers markets in Oakland. Although her basic menu is fixed, side dishes and toppings change based on what's available. "For instance, with my pork chop, I serve a fruit salsa. Depending on what I find at the farmers market, I'll swap out apples for figs, figs for pears," she explained.
Most recently, McCollow began growing her own produce. Nido has a container garden out front and is in the process of planning a rooftop garden so the kitchen will be able to source many of the menu's ingredients on site.
Table & Main contracts with the local community supported agricultural group, which delivers farm-fresh vegetables and fruits each day. The contents of that delivery are the basis for specials and the daily vegetable plate, like grilled eggplant and local collard greens with house-cured bacon and local Vidalia onions.
Farm to table food isn't limited to produce. Meat, fish, and cheese also can be locally sourced. For instance, at Nido the majority of meat comes from small family farms in California, and the shrimp comes from Monterey Fish Market in nearby San Francisco. In Pennsylvania, Olexy contracts with local farmers to raise lamb especially for her restaurants.
The key for any owner of a successful and rewarding farm to table restaurant is the way he or she cultivates strong community relationships. Mutual respect, passion for the land and what it produces, and pride in their creations tie this community together.

Let me tell you what is great about this.
First of all, I didn't have to struggle into this. (All the items in the store are a single size)
Second, I don't HAVE to wear anything with it to cover up anything that is making me self conscious. I can wear it as is. I attached the butterfly belt because I thought it needed something there to cute it up a little more.
Third, the butterfly belt is notched at it's smallest. When I bought it, I could only get it to the largest - and I was happy for even that.
Fourth, this has got to be the CUTEST axes femme item I've ever bought.
Fifth, it was 30% off because I spend too much money at that store and got a special discount postcard. I bought 5 items of clothing and 3 accessories there and it came out to a total of 17000 yen. (That's just shy of 200 bucks). I had budgeted 300 bucks for this trip, and I only spent 250 after all the stores we went to today (30 of it was for some accessories I need for a cooking class I'm gonna take).
I'm a very happy camper today.
Well, today was the day I fit into my goal pants. They are a pair of Angels size 11 corduroy pants that my mom got me for my birthday or Xmas in probably 2006. I wasn't able to wear them then, even though I fit into size 11s in everything else at the time. Probably because they don't have stretch and everything else did. Anyway, that was at about the time I started gaining back a lot of weight from a diet I started in mid-2005. Since that time, I've gone back and forth, inching my way up to over 200 pounds.
I moved here last year and the lifestyle changed my weight a lot without effort. I started concentrating on losing more weight about last year because I didn't want to be almost twice as heavy as my boyfriend at the time (who is now my husband :D). I've lost about 40 pounds since getting here (not 100% sure because I didn't get a scale till summer, but I know it was at least 204). I'm still not the shape I want to be, but I'm getting there.
I see myself in the mirror everyday and, although my clothes are looser and going down in sizes, I still look the same to me. However, the results are clear when you look at something like this. I want to get down to between 135 and 145, or at least that's what I think. Maybe I'll change my mind, but that's my goal. I'm more than halfway there!
39 pounds down. Up to 29 more to go. My goal was to be down 2 more pounds from this by the time I went on vacation on Thursday, but 2 pounds in 3 days is not going to happen. But, one more pound IS possible, so I'm gonna reach for that. Plus, it's cooler to say "I've lost 40 pounds so far!" than it is to say "I've lost 39 pounds so far!" Both are great, but I like nice, round numbers~
Though, sleeping in till 2pm probably didn't help me today. Time to get dressed and walk to the conbini so I can pay my phone bill.
I'm going shopping tomorrow with a friend. We both LOVE this one brand (axes femme) and that's one of the stores we're going to tomorrow. I call it the Danger Store cuz I always buy. ESPECIALLY if I go to the one closest to me because the girl there always chats me up and it makes me want to buy more. That's why I'm going to the one in Tenjingawa instead of the local one.
Anyway, not only do we like the same brand, but we have many of the same items - in the same color, even. When we go out together, we tend to dress up because its fun. I was wondering what to wear when she sent me a message on FB asking what I was planning to wear because we really don't want to wear the same thing at the same time. Not cuz it is like "bitch, that's MINE" but because we don't want to look like we tried to be twins.
So, I decided to try to make an outfit out of stuff that was either not axes femme or at least stuff I knew she didn't have. I tried on various things and was SO happy about the fact that I could get it all on well. See, most of the stuff for the bottoms that I was trying on were things I haven't taken out of my closet since early Fall. At that time, I had to inch them up over my hips. My hips, now at 43 inches, are my thickest part of me. My waist is at 33, so if I can just traverse my hips, usually I can get stuff to work, even if it doesn't hang quite right.
Well, this time, I didn't have to work at them. I just put them on. And the hip area still doesn't sit 100% correct, but that's because Japanese clothes are not made for a European (I'm Italian/Irish/Amish) frame. I was so happy. Also, I turn to the side and, without having to suck it in, my stomach looked okay in a side view. Not skinny, no not yet, but it looked okay. Nice, even. Still fat by local standards, but nice by US standards.
It made me happy. I wanted to try on more things. I want it to be warmer so I can wear short skirts and show off my legs that are getting thinner. I was marvelling that I have clothes with lighter and lighter colors because I'm not as afraid to let the fat show through in the front or at the back near the bra. Sure, I still have a nub of fat above my belly button that is embarrassing, but it's smaller. It's tolerable at this point.
I saw on the scale today that I lost another pound. It was surprising to me because my period is due on Tuesday and I am having more constipation than usual (I'm lucky to get once a week, tbh, despite how much water I drink or fiber I eat). I FEEL bad, physically, because of it. I thought for sure I would have gone up just from retention. But it went down by a pound.
I was thrilled.
But not as thrilled as I was a moment ago trying on clothes.
Also, when I come to the states in a couple weeks, I will see my older brother and his family. I'm not close to my brothers, and I know I won't get a compliment, but I can't help but wonder if he'll notice that, since seeing him last, I have lost 38(+) pounds.
I was looking at pictures of me from when I worked at UCR. Pictures of me and my students. I look so much bigger in those pictures. I can't wait until I reach my goal (somewhere between 136 and 146. About then I think I will look how I want to) and I will do a before and after thing. Also, since Taka and I do purikura once or twice a month, I can probably make it into a timeline.
38 down, 20-30 left to go. Today was inspiration.
I want to try to lose 3 more pounds before I leave for America on 3/15. Today is the 3rd. 12 more days for 3 more pounds. It's possible, and it's still at a healthy rate, so I will strive. Unfortunately, the period will hinder my tracking on the scale, but I'll keep up my food and exercise log. Let's hit that 163lbs/74kg before vacation!!!!!
Okay, the scale told me today that I went down another pound. Now I'm at 167 (76 kg).
It's one of my mini goals to be at 163 (74kg) by the time I leave for vacation in the states on the 15th of March. I can do it - it's more than 2 1/2 weeks away.
My next mini goal is to be at 158 (72kg) by the time the new school semester starts on April 9th. As I will be in America until March 25th, this gives me 2 weeks to get down, which is possible. HOWEVER, this kind of mini goal means I would have to be vigilant about my intake and going on walks while I'm in the US. I can't make my goal weight if I'm trying to re-shed pounds. So, if I can limit my intake and be good with my exercising to the point that I'm just at maintenance, then I can do it. It's 10 days of not necessarily being good, but not letting myself be bad, either.
If I continue to work really hard and lose 2.2 pounds (1 kilo) a week until the calendar-start of summer, I will reach my goal of 136 (62 kilos) by summer.
My ultimate goal's finish line may change, but right now I'm gonna focus on the first mini goal and plan a course of action for the second.
My husband's sage advice about sweets was that once you're 25, you should graduate from sweets. He advises only having it once a month (outside of special events) and for that sweet to be an expensive sweet.
I laugh.
I laugh because that's not gonna happen - I love sweets.
I laugh because Japanese people think their food is SO healthy, but Japanese food puts sugar in places it doesn't belong. When I make the egg omeletes Taka likes, it's 3 eggs, a SPOONFUL of sugar, and a nice long squeeze of mayo. Unnecessary! He thinks my eggs prepared with just pepper are strange.
I also laugh because he's 30 and will eat 8 Parms (think Eskimo Pies) in a day if he's home all day.
He goes on about how sweets are the number one bad thing as far as gaining weight go. Sweets can be killer, but what's "number one" is different for everyone. My problem has always been about being able to control portions of food. When I'm not aware of how many calories something is and/or I'm not able to control how much I'm served, THAT is where I gain weight. My diet allows for sweets in moderation.
All things in moderation.
But it's hard to change someone's hard-wired thinking. So I just say "hmm, that's a good theory" and keep doing what I'm doing.
The best diet is one that can turn into a lifestyle change. Part of that is recognizing what you can live without not just physically, but also as part of your enjoyment. I LOVE baking and making sweets. I love eating sweets. And I intend to keep them in my diet - in moderation.
Journaling food is a great way to lose weight. I always seem to have such a hard time with keeping my calories on the low end when I'm not journaling, but rather counting in my head, but when I journal I find it quite easy. In fact, when journaling, I find the hard part is getting ENOUGH calories.
Take today, for example. I woke up at the leisurely hour of 1pm. I'm on vacation for the next month and a half, so most days will likely be like this as I am naturally a night owl. It is now 6pm and I tend to go to bed around 1am during this time. I have eaten my breakfast (8 strawberries, 1 banana, and a clementine/mikan), lunch (fried garlic rice), and a delightful snack just now of two Oreos. I wasn't actually hungry for those Oreos, btw, but I made Oreo truffles for Taka for V-day and I still had leftover Oreos. I've been eating 2 a day for the past 3 days to not waste the remaining. Those were my last two.
ANYWAY! I track the time and the calories of everything. Right now, I'm at 720. When I have my dinner later, it will be my egg muffin sandwich and a hot chocolate, which brings me to a total of 1020 calories for the day. I won't be hungry after that meal until I fall asleep, so I keep feeling that I need to add more to my dinner. HOWEVER, that goes against another thing that I've been trying to build which is the whole intuitive eating. I don't really want to eat if I'm not hungry and I don't want to eat just to eat. I could always add some edamame with my dinner, but again, I don't want to eat just to eat.
The past few days have been like this. Tracing back from today… yesterday put me at 900, the day before was 1600 (Taka had the day off and we went out to eat), the day before was 850 or so. But the thing is - I"M NOT HUNGRY. Should I still eat just to eat??
Today is kinda a meh day cuz I'm lazy and am not going to the store to get anything, but usually even though my calories are low, all my nutrients are also accounted for - I just don't have that magical "at least 1200 calories" in my body each day.
So, I wonder how much of this is psychology. Does seeing the numbers on my paper affect my sense of appetite? I've written before about how, while growing up, I never learned to listen to if I were full or not because of my family's eating style, so maybe it's gonna be a much longer road before I figure out exactly how to do everything right. :/
It's that time of year that everyone puts up their resolutions. I don't really do resolutions, but I DO have some goals for this year:
1 - Study more Japanese (I want to get N3 on the new system! I got N3 on the old system back in 2007)
2 - Get my Japanese driver's license (my international one expires at the end of March)
3 - Try (and learn to to cook) many more foods (armed with cookbooks!!!)
4 - Keep a regular blog about cooking (maybe Vlog once in a while)
5 - Pay off my credit cards (6k to go)
6 - Get something else published or at least have something ready for publication. This includes self-publishing on Etsy or as an e-book. Although it was small, getting published in that calendar was a good goal pusher!)
7 - Keep losing weight. My goal is to have a weight in the 135-145 range. I am currently at 169 (or, I was before I left for Xmas… I haven't gotten back on a scale yet, but even if I gained weight it couldn't be more than a couple pounds). I was 204 when I got to Japan and most of my weight loss thus far has been simply due to lifestyle changes and not concentrated effort, so I am confident that I can get at least the next 24 out of my body for a healthier me :)
8 - Learn a new skill. I don't know what, but I want to grow every year and not just expanding on what I already know.
I always have goals because I feel lost without them. Anyone share some of the same goals as me or have experience/advice to give?

The waters of Buzzards Bay along the Falmouth coast are a muddy brown color because of an algal bloom, but an expert says it should not affect people's health.
Volunteers for the Buzzards Bay Coalition are reporting drastically reduced water quality this year, said Tony Williams, director of the monitoring program who oversees weekly sampling for water quality all around Buzzards Bay.
"The water clarity is about half of what it's been in previous years," Mr. Williams said. "What this means is that the water clarity just seems very cloudy, and there is this green and brown color in the water column."
Don Anderson, an expert in harmful algal blooms at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, said this particular type of algae is not harmful to humans. "It's actually something that happens every year at this time," he said.
The algae, named Cochlodinium, usually bloom in July and August in this area and are sometimes referred to as a red tide or brown tide. "There's no dangers that I know of to humans from these kinds of big red tides of Cochlodinium," Dr. Anderson said.
Cochlodinium does not make toxins that are harmful to humans, but can affect shellfish and some kinds of fish, he said.
The algal bloom can also cause damage to the ecosystem when the bloom gets so big that there are no more nutrients to feed on. "The bloom will crash, as we call it, and all of these cells will die and fall to the bottom of the water," he said.
The algae will decay and use up the oxygen in the water, which can cause fish kills. These particular algae also produce a slimy residue that can coat fish and kill them.
To measure water clarity, volunteers lower a black and white disc at the end of a measuring tape and write down how far they can see the disc.
George R. Hampson of North Falmouth measured the water clarity as low as 30 centimeters in some places, a depth of about a foot.
"People who go swimming cannot see their feet," Mr. Hampson said.
Some Woods Hole residents compared it to swimming in the Mississippi River. A summer resident of West Falmouth said the water was the color of lemon Jello.
Other volunteers farther north from Pocasset Harbor to Onset Bay are reporting similar measurements, Mr. Williams said.
Cochlodinium can grow very quickly in the right conditions of warm water that is rich in nutrients. Each alga can divide every two days, Dr. Anderson said.
But the visual impact of the algae bloom can be somewhat deceptive, Dr. Anderson said, because these particular algae swim to the surface of the water making them much more visible.
Dr. Anderson said the term "red tide" is not useful, because it means different things to different people. Red tide can refer to algae that turn the water a red color, or algae that are usually not visible which makes shellfish dangerous to eat.
"It doesn't do anybody any good to characterize them by a color," he said.

Good luck to Anna.
Hope she'll get weather than Lucy Roper. September 5th, Lucy got pulled from the water because dense fog made it all unsafe to continue.

On touching the ladder, Anna swore, and called the experience "horrendous". #RoundIOW
That's true, it was last swum in 1984. The three previous successes were by Kevin Murphy, Michael Read and Alison Streeter.smith said:

About NIE

Post a comment
Newspapers in Education (NIE) is a nationwide effort begun by the National Newspaper Association to promote literacy throughout our schools. It allows teachers to work with newspapers to stir the interest of today's youth by reading and studying newspapers.
By creating an avenue of interest in newspaper genre, students are encouraged to be creative, form opinions, and strengthen their skills in all subject areas. NIE also allows the opportunity for everyone in the community, from local businesses, charities, and other such organizations, to participate in strengthening literacy levels in local schools.
Since the Wilson County News initiated its own NIE efforts in the summer of 2000, Wilson County News readers have taken a growing concern for the program. From readers alone, the Wilson County News' NIE fund has grown enough to sponsor classrooms in every school in Wilson County!
As the program continues, businesses will likewise have the opportunity to invest in literacy, which is not only an investment in the future workforce but is also an investment in the future of education. If you are interested in supporting the NIE program, email
Access . . . The Wilson County News' Newspaper In Education Program, which gives students access to the news in their classrooms every week, is only $9 per student for the school year.
Generosity . . . Subscribers and readers of the Wilson County News have provided a generous fund for the NIE program to sponsor classrooms in every school in Wilson County. This is an awesome accomplishment for Wilson County as the county has set its path to generate literate young adults who are informed on local issues.
Lifetime Learning . . . Students who read newspapers and are taught about the benefits of reading a newspaper will continue their intellectual growth by remaining informed adults throughout their lives.
Value . . . Join the effort to promote knowledge and intellect -- your contributions are worth more than monetary means, they are worth Wilson County's future -- America's future.
Classrooms -- Become a sponsor! Classrooms sets are received weekly and provided solely by your sponsorship through the NIE program.
NIE Golf Tournament -- Participating in the annual NIE Golf Tournament by either playing, being a hole sponsor, or donating prizes for winners are all excellent ways to help sponsor the program.
NIE Sponsorships Get Noticed -- When you decide to become a sponsor, your name appears in promotions for NIE in the newspaper and at
Q. Does it matter where a school is located in order to participate in the NIE program?
A. No. We have teachers from all of the schools in Wilson County, even private schools, as well as schools outside of the county, like Falls City and Karnes City. We have even had a teacher in San Antonio participate in the program. If you are a teacher and you would like to use the Wilson County News in your classroom, we will get you a classroom set.
Q. Is there a limit to how many papers a teacher can request?
A. So far, we have not had to limit papers to a teacher. The largest set we've provided has averaged 30. The smallest amount of newspapers to a teacher has been 1. We do try to provide classroom sets which equate to the newspapers being used in several of the teacher's different classes throughout the day or week. That does help save on the number of copies.
Q. Is there a charge for using newspapers in my classroom or to get started?
A. No! The newspapers are and always have been FREE to teachers and students. Of course, we always encourage teachers to help us find sponsors for the newspapers provided.
Q. I hear that the Wilson County News provides free newspapers to teachers through its NIE program. Nothing in this world is free. What's the catch?
A. You're right. Nothing is ever really free. The Wilson County News provides classroom sets to teachers at a discounted rate, however teachers and students incur absolutely no costs. NIE functions solely on generous contributions from Wilson County News readers throughout the year, as well as an annual NIE golf tournament. Of course, teachers and students are always encouraged to participate with NIE fund-raisers as they do take a lot of manpower on the day of the tournament, but nothing is required of teachers or students.
