If you appreciate tough love, this might work for you. If you prefer being coddled and enabled, you might not want to read this.
What do you want?
Do you want to be thinner?
Do you want to be more healthy?
Do you want to repair years of abuse to your body?
Whatever your reason for taking on a BFL challenge or even just adopting new habits within BFL guidelines, decide what your end or intermediate goals are.
Change is difficult, Eating 5-6 nutritious meals a day when you are used to waiting all day and bingeing on fat and empty calories is difficult. Eating vegetables when you really can't stand the smell of them is difficult. Getting off the couch or out from behind your computer and engaging in challenging cardio and resistance training is difficult...or is it?
In actuality none of the changes required by BFL are hard to master. NONE OF THEM. Thousands have successfully mastered a 12 week challenge and seen measurable results. What may be difficult is your own resistance to change.
Whatever got you into your current state can be reversed. You have to use the only tools that can get you out of it...your brain and your body. These are the same two things that made you the lazy fat mess that you are today.
Stop making excuses!
I can't afford a gym.
Fine. Use Google and look for alternatives for at home or get suggestions in online forums.
I can't afford supplements.
Fine. Do BFL without them. Plan 6 nutritious meals a day of one lean protein portion, one nutritious carb portion and add veggies at least twice a day.
I don't want to give up my favorite foods.
Great, you don't have to. Enjoy them on your free day or eat them all the time and stay fat.
My lifestyle doesn't support eating six times a day.
Fine, change your lifestyle. Plan your meals and pre-cook and package foods. If you can afford protein shakes and bars, plan them into your day or use them if you have to for times that you didn't plan well.
I don't have time for all that preparing and planning.
You are a liar, stop watching tv or whatever you waste your time on and start new habits.
My friends and family put pressure on me to join them in unhealthy eating.
For whom are you living your life? For them? Is it worth it to you to give in to what they want you to eat? Start educating them about what you have learned about nutrition and set boundaries. Be firm but compassionate with them about your choices. If they hate you so much that they continue to push you to unhealthy ways, dump them for disrespecting you so much.
Ooh I started the challenge and I ate unauthorized food.
Recognize what you did and move on, from this very minute. Decide why you wanted to punish yourself with unhealthy food that wasn't on your free day. What did it achieve? Guilt? Slower or no progress? Great! those things are worth it for sure. Stop living for the experience of food and use it to fuel your body. Save your favorites for free day. Or stay weak-minded and fat.
I missed a workout (or two).
OK, Recognize what you did and move on. If it was because of work or family, it may mean that you have to make changes in your schedule (or require others to change their schedule). Depending on timing you can "make up" workouts on subsequent days. Don't do this often because you start to minimize the usefulness of your workouts.
I've been following the plan for three days and I haven't lost any weight.
Um, The program is called "Body For Life." Those last two words are kinda important.
It is Week 7 and I haven't lost that much weight.
Well are you feeling better, moving more easily, feeling stronger? Do your clothes fit more comfortably? If so then congratulations and keep it up. Did you honestly stick with the nutrition and exercise 100%? If not then the fact that it is week 7 doesn't matter at all, you didn't follow the program so you are getting poor results.
It seems so much easier to just take a pill, get surgery, drink that fat loss tea or whatever to lose weight.
Go for it! Just don't whine when it doesn't work.
My genetics make losing weight impossible.
OK, but do your genetics keep you from eating healthy foods and exercising?
There are probably hundreds of variations on these excuses or others that you can make to keep yourself from changing. Excuses are only resistance to doing something different. Excuses keep you from being healthy, fit, thin, attractive or whatever your goal is.
There is a quote attributed to Albert Einstein that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. You might be insane to think that eating Cheetos and Cheesecake in front of the TV is going to suddenly make you healthier. Those bad habits will keep you as fat and lazy as they always have. Be sane! Do different things to get the results that you want.
If BFL sounds too hard for you, change your mind. Stop that weak thinking and start to love yourself a bit more. Decide you are worth it. Just start doing it, follow the nutrition and exercise 100% and see what happens. It may be that your behaviors have to change before your mind does.
At the end of 12 weeks you are not convinced you made progress toward a more healthy you, then you have probably lied to yourself about how closely you followed the program.
I think a good quote to go along with this is " nothing tastes as good as thin feels"! Nice post buddy!
I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It
never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two
hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds." -Henry Rollins-
OH MY!! I love love love your "letter" JamesK. Well said - VERY well said!
You are so right. I have tried Body for Life in the past and it really works. I gave in before reaching my goal and I only have myself to blame. I am starting the program again and would really love the support of fellow BFL'ers. I live in South Africa and unfortunately the BFL offices closed down. I have all the books and the CD Set. We cannot get Myoplex products anymore either, so I have had to look at other Protein Powders and bars. Because BFL has pulled out of SA, I also cannot enter the challenge. I am going to do my best on my own and would really appreciate motivation from all of you who are working toward your goal of completing the challenge and winning. Mich Umhlanga South Africa
Mike Wow! Energy, Energy, Energy! I just finished my cardio and (waited 1 hour) just finished my first meal of the day. - Ahi Tuna, Surrounded by a colorful mixture of bell peppers and carrots, and complimented by wheat toast. (forgot the tomatoe...man how am I going to eat so many tomatoes....answer....a little at a time)
I am on cloud 9 because after today, week 7 will be done and logged in the books! I am not just crossing my Abyss....I AM SHATTERING it!
Like many yup - weeks 1-8 struggling growing pains.
But it's not mattering "what my body is going to look like" it more of HOW FAR CAN I PUSH MYSELF until week 12 and THEN let's see what my body looks like. So at the end of this week I'll hold myself accountable and post my beginning, 8th week pics and now it's got me excited to see just how much transformation can happen in the last four weeks.
I am no longer worried about the outside look because I already know the "Mental Fat" is slowly going away and with my muscle brain getting stronger, I know anything I set my mind to, I have the strength to see it through.
So for Tough Love....yup, you said it best.
In which I'll add... Tough LOVE....if YOU are not going to love yourself the Toughest, who do you think will hate yourself the most? Kill the hate find the Love.
Rock ON!! ~Marqui D. C1W7D47
I am going to print it and keep it in my desk
Loving Regards,
Divya S Selvan
I think thats great... it will really keep you motivated!!!!!

As Americans wait to learn whether the Supreme Court will strike down the keystone of the national health care law, some members of Congress are attempting to dismantle other provisions that will, if left in place, cost health care consumers dearly.
Soon, high court justices will release a ruling on "Obamacare's" mandate that everyone obtain government-approved insurance. In the meantime, provisions of the law such as a 2.3 percent tax on medical devices are under attack.
It has been pointed out the tax would affect everything from tongue depressors to wheelchairs.
Manufacturers could either cut expenses for work such as research, or pass the cost on to consumers. A bill to rescind the tax was approved by a wide margin, 270-146, in the House of Representatives.
Members of the Senate should follow suit. Those who refuse to vote against the tax should be prepared to explain to voters why they support President Barack Obama's law instead of their constituents.

(1) The daughter of Herod Philip and Herodias (Matthew 14:6-8: Mark 6:22; cf. Josephus, "Antiq. Jud.", XVIII, 5:4), at whose request John the Baptist was beheaded.
(2) One of the holy women present at the Crucifixion, and who visited the tomb on the morning of the Resurrection (Mark 15:40; 16:1). In Mark 15:40, we read: "And there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the Mother of James the Less the Less and of Joseph, and Salome." The parallel passage of Matthew reads thus: "Among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee" (Matthew 27:56). Comparison of the two gives a well-grounded probability that the Salome of the former is identical with the mother of the sons of Zebedee in the latter, who is mentioned also in Matthew 20:20 sq., in connection with the petition in favour of her sons. Beyond these references in the Gospel narrative and what may be inferred from them nothing is known of Salome, though some writers conjecture more or less plausibly that she is the sister of the Blessed Virgin mentioned in John 19:25.

*No western Canada this time. There just wasn't time as the three of us had only four days during which we were all free and could do this tour.
** I know, I know, tickets. I'm sorry about that. It's a pain to have to get them. The ticketing for the event is because they rented a church to hold the event in instead of holding it in a bookstore so the ticket cost goes toward the church's expenses in holding the event.

So, I want to hackint0sh my computer (why else would I be on this forum, lol). The computer I have came with Windows 7, and (presumably) an MBR formatted HD. I'll be getting the retail copy of Snow Leopard pretty soon (~10 days), and I want to dual boot without losing Windows 7, as I don't want to pay another $60 for a Win7 installation disk.
Now, are there any ways to have a dual booting system that boots Win7/Mac, that share the same HD and without removing Win7? I'm aware you can use BootCamp for Mac to install Win7 pretty easily, but you'd have to remove Win7 to even install Mac.

I'm going to be creating my own engine soon, but I wonder what the standards are these days. Obviously some effects like HDR, parralax mapping etc. are overkill for a hobbyist engine. However, certain things like billboarding and a decent culling system are always expected. I'd even consider bump mapping, cube mapping, sphere mapping, and environment mapping as a standards as far as pixel shader support.
What other things would you expect from a engine? What are your expectations for a basic game engine.

290 S State Rd 434, Altamonte Spgs, FL | Directions 3271428.670215 -81.419144
Mon. - Thu., Sun. 10am - 10pm;Fri. - Sat. 10am - 11pm
not what it used 2b... – *They used to grind and pattie the meat fresh daily when it first opened back in mid 93', not long after the owner's wife sherry finally worked off all the original employee's who were worth a damn except for 1 that doesnt touch food cooking back in mid 94' , shortly after....that stopped.
And yes, the bugers and chicken although all attempts are that they are cooked in "smaller batches" some of the time, "they do sit in a in a pan", and "are flipped in the juices at the bottom of the pan for flavor and extra heat"! *The note about never pre-making anything that the owner's wife Sherry speaks of...that's merely putting the patty on the bun w/the lettuce and such, but yes, it sit's in a pan. This place is nothing like it was originally-nothing at all!!
** Last time I was there recently, The assistant Manager,( who thinks he is Drew Macentire JR from the wwe), had to walk through piles and piles of trash to get to the registar and take my order & his I'm a tuff guy attitude with the way he walk's around like he is Mr Marine drill sargent ,( Hence only 1/2 of the Drew Macentire Jrcomment), was enough to make me want to at least if I went to a backyard burger again, would be 2 try another location.
The food is o.k..except thesmall fry portion...? + you tend 2 have 2 ask for fresh fries often, so that you don't get warm at best old ones, and you can tell that often they are actually "re-dipped" in the frier so they are "like just out of the frier" , but still not always what one would deem fresh.
The cobbler is often mostly crust unfortunetly.
Maybe the location on University might be a little better? At least it has an inside for you to sit in. But it's run by Sherry as well from what I heard, and that's a little bit of a downer knowing how she generally treat's her staff.
The University location will get a shot here and there, but the Altamonte Springs location is for a quick higher priced burger in a pinch only, and if another is paying for it!!
There is a new Burger joint in lake Mary that's hitting the Orlando area out of Ohio, I've heard about it from business aquaintences of mine, for the pricing and the quality-It's your safest bet.
Sorta good means generally better than McD's.
Need some new opinions – I can't believe how many old reviews are below. Angus burgers used to be distinguishing, but now even McDonalds has a "better burger", which is better than the Backyard standard fare.
Seasoned fries are pretty good, but I'm ready for Five Guys to get down here!!!
Fast food that is actually fast AND food! – Black and blue burger.... near perfection for fast food. Shakes aren't bad either and the seasoned fries rock. If you are craving a burger and need it fast, there isn't a better option. The little tiny teeny weensy thing that could possibly be improved is if they had non-frozen fresh ground beef options so I could get mine rare. Other than that minutely small blip of desire... fast food perfection on a bun.
Great fast food burger – They're the best of the fast food burger options. Flame grilled patty that actually tastes like beef, and fresh lettuce/tomato/onion/etc. You have a choice of seasoned (tastes similar to Arby's curly) or cross-cut (similar to Chick-Fil-A) for fries. The standard size of fries for the combo is on the small side. This location does not have indoor seating.
Best Burgers of any quick service restaurant! The signature burgers are unique.
Good stuff – A great alternative to traditional fast food. Great burger and fries! Several menu options.
Perfection!! That is what I get when I eat at Back Yard Burgers! You can't make it any better -even at home. Love the atmoshere at Altamonte Springs outside dining and the pretty dining room by UCF.
The best fast food choice – Ah, such a refreshing change from the greasy soy burgers that get served at most fast food chains. The selection is great and the prices are resonable. The quality is that of a sit down restaurant with the value and convenience of fast food.
Thumbs Up - Recommended – This place is a giant step up from any fast food chain. It's equal to the restaurant chains like Fridays, etc - except you don't pay their prices. I find their prices are resonable - you can't expect to get quality meat & pay nothing extra. They have many optional toppings(unlike chains where the choice is cheese or no cheese). So you don't have to have the same burger over & over. I go to the one on OBT around the FL MALL. They have in door seating and serve your food after you placed & payed for your order at the counter. You just get your drinks from the fountain and sit down and wait just a few minutes.
burgerman – Very good Will go back every chance I get.Have to drive 40 miles to get there.

Goat Braised in Wine
This recipe is easier than one would think, and would work well with any red meat. I simply used goat meat as that's what I was researching of late. This goes well over wild brown rice.
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lbs of goat meat, cubed
- kosher salt
- Black Pepper
- 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 1/4 cup of red wine (I used Merlot)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Place a dutch oven (or a skillet with high sides with it's own heat resistant lid) on stove top, over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow to heat.
Dry goat meat with paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Coat meat with salt and pepper to taste. Add goat meat to pan and brown on one side. Once meat has formed a brown crust (approx 5-7 minutes), turn over and allow to form a seared brown crust on the other side (another 5-7 minutes). Once browned, remove meat from pot and set aside for later.
Turn down heat on stovetop to medium. Remove any excess fat from pan (to taste). Add onions and garlic and sauté until translucent (7-9 minutes). Scrape any remaining meat particles from bottom of pan to flavor onions and garlic. Add Red wine and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the brown crusty stuff left by the meat. Allow to simmer for 8-10 minutes.
Return meat to the pan. Liquid should should reach halfway up the side of the meat in the pan. If it does not, add more win and soy sauce to a 1:1 ratio. Cover and place in oven for one hour.
Remove pot from oven. Skim any excess fat or oil from the top of any remaining liquid. Serve over rice.
Picture Forthcoming…

Boomer's Legacy lives on at Comox Valley Airport
A stained glass window dedicated to the Boomer's Legacy Foundation was installed at the Comox Valley Airport. To commemorate the occasion, founder Maureen Eykelenboom was on hand, along with Col. James Benninger of 19 Wing Comox and Fred Bigelow of the Comox Valley Airport.
"Boomer's Legacy is committed to 'Helping Soldiers Help Others' by providing funds to support projects in communities where our soldiers serve," said founder Maureen Eykelenboom. "It is simply wonderful to see our legacy live on at the Comox Valley Airport. What a great way to remember the generosity of all the donors and sponsors that have helped us to provide funds for basic humanitarian needs, medical care and education in these communities."
The window, created by local glass artist Jan Lindstrom, depicts the Boomer's Legacy Foundation logo and a yellow ribbon, the well-known symbol of support for Canada's troops.
"19 Wing Comox is appreciative of the efforts of Boomer's Legacy to make a positive difference in those communities in which our soldiers serve," said 19 Wing Commander, Col. Jim Benninger. "I am happy to be here today to mark this occasion with Maureen and those who are committed to her cause."
"The Comox Valley Airport is pleased to display this tribute to an organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others," concluded YQQ CEO Fred Bigelow. "This window truly symbolizes the generous spirit of our community and is an excellent way to welcome passengers into our airport."
The dedication of the Boomer's Legacy window at YQQ took place at 2pm on 9 April 2014.

Based on a variety of reliable sources, including those in the local hospitality trade, it seems a healthy percentage of our visitors generally come from a radius of just a couple hundred miles — many are weekend warrior types doing a little day-tripping.
With that in mind, we here at Feather Publishing Co. are already working on our annual Plumas County Visitors Guide — it's actually a work in progress all year long. Local business owners and service and hospitality providers should continue to consider this informative publication an annual "must buy" advertising investment.
The full-color, high-quality magazine is packed full of information detailing virtually everything our county has to offer to both visitors and locals alike. Some 90,000 copies will be distributed free to hundreds of locations in our region throughout 2014.
As a way of extending its reach to entice more visitors to our special place in California, and as an added value to our advertisers, we also post the entire magazine in a very user-friendly format on our website, plumasnews.com. The electronic version of the visitors guide gets hundreds of viewers monthly throughout the season.
The deadline for advertising space will be here before you know it. If your advertising representative has not yet approached you and you want to make sure to reserve space in this product, call your local newspaper office or give me a call at 283-0800. We're ready and willing to help you design an effective ad tailored to both your budget and your business.
Your advertising investment in this product should also be considered a partnership that makes this comprehensive and informative guide possible. It's the single most effective print and electronically packaged product used to entice families to come and spend in Plumas County.

Are Vouchers and Charter Schools Viable Alternatives to Public Schools? - Event Audio
2013 Annual Western Conference
February 13, 2013Julian R. Betts, Clint Bolick, Bruce Fuller, William R. Maurer, Carlos T. Bea, Gloria Romero, Leonard A. Leo
The following audio was recorded on January 26, 2013.
Are Vouchers and Charter Schools Viable Alternatives to Public Schools? 1-26-13
Running Time: 01:48:09
[ Full Audio]
Parental and community support for school choice has increased dramatically in recent years, with vouchers, charter schools, home schooling, and other educational alternatives all garnering greater support. Supporters cite gains in reading levels and higher graduation rates amongst reasons why school choice improves education outcomes for low-income, inner-city students. They also cite the importance of offering the same choice in education that higher income families are able to provide. What impediments stand in the way of implementing school choice? How large of a factor is union opposition to school choice? Are unions correct in asserting that vouchers take resources away from the public school system and are financially unaccountable? What about charters? Recently, the California Supreme Court decision upheld the rights of charter schools not to be controlled by the union's collective bargaining agreements. Will this lead to an increased number of charter schools? How does the national school choice movement encourage reform in California? What trends or alternatives may arise in the future? A panel of experts will discuss these questions and will offer their assessment of school choice programs a decade after Zelman v. Simmons-Harris opened the door for school choice programs.
Panel One: Are Vouchers and Charter Schools Viable Alternatives to Public Schools?
10:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
- Prof. Julian Betts, Department of Economics, University of California, San Diego
- Mr. Clint Bolick, Vice President for Litigation, The Goldwater Institute

Seminoles continue march toward perfection, maintain top spot in UPS Index
(AP) -- While Florida State and Alabama remain in the mix to finish atop the UPS Performance Index, only one of them has the chance to win a national championship.
Maintaining their hold on the No. 1 spot in the Index following another dominating win in a season full of them, the Seminoles are the only undefeated team in the FBS and will face surging Auburn in the BCS title game next month in Pasadena.
Using an advanced proprietary formula featuring offensive yards per play, defensive yards allowed per play, quality of opponent, various special teams statistics and a microindex of miscues that rewards disciplined teams, UPS has teamed with STATS LLC to normalize those numbers across 125 FBS schools.

I like the idea of having a zip up compartment for clothes on one side and shoes and toiletry bags or other knickknacks on other (open) side. I always want to travel with everything I need in just one luggage and this one works very well for me. I could fit in 3~5 days worth of clothes (mostly dress, no bulky jeans/jacket) and couple of shoes.The case is very light and it is a good carry on size. This luggage saves me the hassle of having to check-in a luggage when traveling by air.I like the way it looks and the price is great!
After nearly a decade rolling around with my last Tumi carry-on bag, it was finally time for a replacement and I was thrilled to find such great style at such a low price with the Traveler's Choice Rome 20-inch hardside upright. The euphoria didn't last long. The first one arrived promptly and I loved the look of it, but I noticed immediately upon raising the handle that it was thin and cheap (if you drag your suitcase up lots of stairs as I do living in NYC - it would break in about 2 seconds.) Then as I started to wheel it across the room I noticed a squeeking and rubbing noise and found that both the wheels, one more severely, were set too close to the body of the suitcase and therefore rubbed constantly, it would rub the wheel down quickly without a doubt. Then upon opening up the suitcase I found that the zipper got stuck, and upon further inspection it was catching on the interior backing of the zipper which was literally taped with matching black tape. I returned it (the overstock people made it very easy and were very helpful) and exchanged it for another one thinking this must just be a bad sample. i just received my replacement today and sadly no, I didn't even bother opening up, the wheels are set so close to the body that you literally can't wheel it. I'm returning this one and will not be replacing. It looks good, but it's made cheaply and will not last you.
I have this bag in the larger 24" size with the spinner wheels. I love it but needed something a little smaller for a short trip. This bag was perfect. It holds much more than you think it will. It does not have spinner wheels but doesn't need them. Could be pulled down the aisle of the airplane without hitting the seats. Also easy to lift with a handle on the long and the short side. Fits in the overhead with plenty of room to spare. I really prefer hard-sided luggage. It feels much more secure to me. A lovely bag.
We finally left for our trip to disney, and had the chance to try out our new luggage. We had two of the 27 inch suitcases that we checked, and a 21 inch carry on. I tend to always take way more "stuff" than I need, and these cases held so much I had room left over. On the way home they were packed with souvenirs to the point I had to just about sit on them to close. Because they are hard even all the breakables such as wine glasses traveled without a problem. We have had many suitcases not survive the baggage handlers, with broken zippers and actual tears in the canvas, these bags held up very well to the abuse with only one minor scratch. They were easy to wheel on both bare floors and carpeted, and the handles on the sides made picking them up easy. They were lightweight when empty, and the carry on fit easily into the overhead compartment. Thank you for a great product. I would highly recommend this product.
The price of this case is what attracted me, so I purchased four of them. Our airline is charging $25 per piece of checked luggage per flight, so I figured I'd eliminate paying that by purchasing new carry-on luggage for my family. It is well within the required measurements. I haven't used it to travel yet, but I think it will be large enough for a trip that is a week or less if you pack wisely. The pull handle has two convenient heights...which is good for small children all the way up to someone who is about six feet tall.
I love it's very nice inside and lite to carry. I love the material it was made with.
Love the suitcase, made well. Did not like the color orange. Wanted the purple, but was out of stock. All in all, it's a great piece of luggage
My nephew loved it! It also matched with his new back pack & tested it right away - went to PR a week later. PS: Since I got him the lime green, it was easy to spot in baggage claim.
I bought this because it's the exact maximum dimensions permitted by many of the low-priced overseas carriers (Ryanair, Flybe) for carry-on luggage. The exterior is not quite as rigid as I had expected, but it's acceptable. I'm happy with it, and it's definitely a good value for the price.
Love these suit cases...I have wanted wheeled luggage for years, and am so glad I finally bought some. Love the bold purple colour....no problem finding these babies on the conveyor belt at the airport!

Good salt subsitute
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2979019 From Utah on Oct 10, 2008
Purchased at iHerb
Being the curious type, I ordered this vinegar to try since I had just learned about the wonderful health benefits of Ume Plum. It is high in sodium but if used as a salt substitute it gives the food a subtle but nice flavor. I keep it handy for general seasoning or to sprinkle on salads.
This stuff is divine!

Okay, I know it seems a bit much to go gaga over vinegar, but this stuff is the vinegar world's ambrosia. I got addicted to it after purchasing a bottle at Whole Foods, then became distraught when I couldn't find it there anymore. I bought a dozen bottles at iHerb.com, so I should be set for awhile. The best salad dressing I've found is some of this vinegar mixed with Nayonnaise. Vegan heaven on veggies!

Great not only for oriental food, but alone for salads, any rice or side dish; beware though is salty, but not unpleasantly so
Great Product

I use this ume boshi with olive oil for salad dressing. Along with other efforts, this has helped neutralize my pH. I looked all over for this vinegar.
I use this all the time

Posted by Reviewer1830171 From Mississippi on Sep 19, 2008
Purchased at iHerb
I like sprinkling this on a salad before I add the other dressings, usually fresh lemon juice, sweetened rice vinegar, sesame seed oil mixed with rice bran oil (to cut cholesterol), and olive oil (also mixed with rice bran oil). Ume plum vinegar is very salty stuff, so a little goes a long way.

For the 77.5 million dog owners (or "parents") in the United States, The Original Dog Tarot card set and booklet is an amusing tool that gives human beings essential insight into the canine psyche.
Want to know why your dog shreds your slippers but ignores his designer toys? Does your pooch really want a puppy for companionship, or are you delusional? The Original Dog Tarot is an entertaining, tongue-in-jowl deck of tarot cards and accompanying book affectionately written for dog lovers who want to divine their canine's mind. The 30 cards are a takeoff on the traditional tarot; they're divided into the Major Barkana and Minor Barkana. Each card offers advice for both canines and the humans in their lives. You don't have to be familiar with traditional tarot to use this deck. It is a witty and wise stand-alone oracle for anyone who has given up mastering the techniques of The Dog Whisperer.

i came across this article:
in which the author says (among other): ".. so the D3DXFRAME_DERIVED and D3DXMESHCONTAINER_DERIVED types only serve to make initial understanding more difficult" and ".. the DX 9.0 SDK SkinMesh sample is tightly coupled to the application, such that adding a skinned character to another sample is quite a bit of work"
and in the end it says the author worked with developing directx, and the documentation.
wtf did the guys at microsoft intend the samples and the documentation to be non-understandable (as they are)?? it also says the guy did about 50% of the documentation between 2000 and 2002, no wonder its a complete mess (considering how big a project directx is)!
oh god i so hate msdn…

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta will join family members, colleagues and friends of Lieutenant Robert J. Ryan Jr. to honor his memory at a plaque dedication ceremony on Monday, November 23, 10 a.m. at the quarters of Engine 155/Ladder 78 at 14 Brighton Avenue on Staten Island.
"With Thanksgiving coming in the shadow of that awful day which claimed Bobby's life, this is always going to be a difficult time of the year for his family and friends and neighbors," said Mayor Bloomberg. "This Thanksgiving, I'm going to feel thankful we were lucky enough to have Bobby Ryan on this Earth protecting our city - even if his time with us was far too short."
"The strongest and most important part of this department are the members that work in this city each and every day to selflessly help others and perform their duty to the best of their ability," said Commissioner Scoppetta. "Lieutenant Ryan was among the strongest and most important of those members. His experience, dedication and leadership are sorely missed and will never be forgotten."
On Sunday, November 23, 2008, at 12:28 a.m., Lieutenant Ryan was on duty at Engine 155 when his company responded to a fire at a two-story private residence at 39 Van Buren St. in Staten Island. Engine 155 was the first company to arrive on scene. Lieutenant Ryan sustained critical injuries at the 2 alarm fire and was transported to Richmond University Medical Center where he died later that day.
Lieutenant Ryan, 46, was assigned to Engine 155 for over two years. He was a veteran of the department for more than 17 years, appointed to the FDNY on April 14, 1991. He was previously assigned to Engines 228, 280 and 282 in Brooklyn, Engine 6 in Manhattan, the 4th Battalion in Manhattan and the 22nd Battalion in Staten Island. He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in March 2001. Lieutenant Ryan was a lifelong Staten Island resident and is survived by his wife, Kathleen; a son, Chris; a daughter, Kayla; a stepson, Alex; and a stepdaughter, Emma.

HGTV Message Boards
HGTV Design Star
This Show is a Joke
Why do they even bother with this show anymore when they've gotten rid of all of their design shows, especially those featuring the winners of this show? No more David, no more Antonio, no more Meg, Emily or Danielle. What gives with this channel anymore? It's turned into a joke.
I was thinking the same thing. The winners get a "show" for one season, than they are gone. Time to get rid of the shows of that nature & just put on more design shows with the people everyone wants to see!
ditto and ditto
I like the Design challenges. Don't promise them a show, give them a big cash prize. Make the camera challenge explain something they created or repurposed. It was really fun to have Sparkle Josh and some of the other past season Design Stars back for the All Star shows.
And it's just "HGTV Star" -- not HGTV "design" star.
They even took 'design' out of the name of the stupid show!
Are they allergic to the word and concept of DESIGN?
HGTV's website is so 'design' oriented (if you want to call it that) with the products, the magazine and the decorating tips, blogs and photos -- but HGTV the TV channel itself is NOT that way.
It's like there's some big mental disconnect with the overall concepts between TV and web.This message has been edited. Last edited by: clbselah,

Last year, Mike London enjoyed his first winning season as head football coach at Virginia. Now he's ready to start working toward another one.
"The mindset is you just can't be satisfied for what just happened," London said Friday at the Cavaliers' annual media day. "You've got to hunger for more. We've got to start all over again. That's our approach."
Virginia ended the 2011 season at 8-5, after a 43-24 loss to Auburn in the Chik-fil-A Bowl. It was the first time the program finished with a winning record and reached a bowl game since the 2007 season.
The Cavaliers return five starters on defense in 2012, and seven starters on offense -- although junior quarterback Michael Rocco will be challenged in camp by Alabama transfer Phillip Sims.
"I really believe it's my job to lose, and I'm not going to lose it," Rocco told reporters at media day. "My teammates believe in me, and my coaching staff believes in me. And I've been there before."
Rocco started all 13 games for Virginia last year after winning a four-man competition for the job. David Watford, now a true sophomore, rotated with Rocco for the first half of 2011, then settled in as the Cavaliers' back-up.
"Thank goodness for the maturity level that both of them have," London said of Rocco and Watford. "They just said, "Hey, listen. If Phillip's going to make us better, then we welcome him.""
Virginia's eight-win season in 2011 came after the Cavaliers were picked to finish fourth in the ACC's Coastal Division in last year's preseason poll. Despite the team's success last year, the Cavaliers were again picked to finish fourth in the division in this year's ACC poll.
"You just sit back. You chuckle at it, and you just take the seat that they give you," junior offensive tackle Morgan Moses said. "And when it's time for you, time for us to shine, you just surprise them. You shock them."
"We kind of embrace the underdog role. I like that," said senior linebacker Steve Greer. "We played that all of last season. I think as long as we have inner team belief, and guys understand what we can do, and we believe in each other, that's all we need."
"One thing we want to make sure is that people don't think it's a fluke," junior defensive end Jake Snyder said. "That does come from hard work, and that's what we have to prove this year again. And we're going to continue to win close games like that because of our training, and how hard we've worked."
The Cavaliers open the 2012 season at home on Sept. 1 against Richmond.
"We've got a bunch of great leaders on this team who want to get back there," said Rocco. "We know we can do it. We know we have the playmakers to do it, and the coaches to do it. So we're excited, and we just want to get started."

Bryn Mawr Film Institute
824 W. Lancaster Avenue,
Bryn Mawr,
5 people favorited this theater
The Seville Theatre opened September 29, 1926, designed by Philadelphia theatre architect William H. Lee. Lee designed 200 theatres, including nearby theatres such as the Anthony Wayne, City Line Center, Lansdowne, Narberth, Norris (Norristown), and Suburban (Ardmore). Local theatre owner Harry Fried owned the Seville Theatre from its construction until 1946.
The Seville Theatre was constructed with a Neo-Classical facade and a Spanish Gothic style interior. An ornate, free-standing ticket booth (which survives) led to a spectacular two story glass vaulted atrium arcade lined with storefronts. The skylight atrium led to a foyer, which in turn opened into the auditorium. On each side of the stage, the auditorium had a decorated chamber for the organ pipes. Towards the stage, the front portion of the auditorium ceiling had what looked like wood beams, but were likely made of plaster. The remainder of the ceiling had intricate plaster patterns. The side walls had large draped arches. All 1,006 seats were on one floor.
In 1946, Philadelphia theatre operator William Goldman took over from Fried, and by 1952 renamed it the Bryn Mawr Theatre. The original marquee was replaced by a more modern marquee with huge Bryn Mawr neon letters. The atrium skylight and second floor arcade were concealed by a dropped ceiling. The Gottfried pipe organ was removed in the 1950's and the original decor of the auditorium was removed or covered up. In the late-1960's and early 1970's, the Bryn Mawr specialized in arthouse films. Goldman sold his theatres in 1972 to local movie operator Budco, who in 1978 twinned the auditorium by building a wall down the center.
In 1987, Budco sold their theatres to national theatre operator AMC. In 1996, AMC preferred to focus on multiplexes and did not renew the lease. United Artists Theatres took over. The United Artists (UA) regional manager at the time stated that 'it would be a shame for such an historic theatre to close'. In bankruptcy, UA ceased operating the Bryn Mawr in 2000. Other Lower Merion theatres operated by UA ceased forever as movie theatres, the Wynnewood becoming a restaurant and the Ardmore being sold and gutted to be a gym. A gym also sought to obtain the Bryn Mawr. Fortunately, local government opposed that reuse. Local movie theatre operator Greg Wax took over the Bryn Mawr, and began a midnight classic series in addition to first run movies. Alarmed at the prospect that the building could still be sold as a gym, local businesswoman Juliet Goodfriend organized in 2002 a nonprofit organization, the Bryn Mawr Film Institute and gathered much support from the Main Line business and civic leaders.
In December 2004, the Bryn Mawr Film Institute purchased the building. The theatre closed, and after a refurbishment, reopened March 12, 2005 with Sir Ben Kingsley cutting the ribbon. In 2005, the theatre was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Voith Mactavish Architects of Philadelphia worked on renovations. In March 2006, a new marquee, sympathetic to the original marquee, was installed. The marquee was made a little shorter than the original so it would not be hit by vehicles. In 2009, restoration of the lobby arcade was completed after a fundraising campaign to re-install the 400 glass panes of the stunning skylight and restore the paint and plaster to original colors.
The finest arthouse films are shown. One auditorium has 350 seats, and the other has 310 seats. An elevator has been installed to the 2nd floor multimedia room used for film education classes, receptions and community events.
In June 2010, a fundraising campaign was announced to reconfigure the auditorium from twinned theatres to a triplex, however the next year the plan changed so that the existing auditoriums would be refurbished and two more auditoriums added in the adjoining parking lot. The two new auditoriums with 168 seats each, opened in January 2014.

Bryn Mawr Film Institute Celebrates on Oscar Night
by KYW's Kim Glovas
Not only is it Oscar night in Hollywood on Sunday, it was Oscar night at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute.
The Bryn Mawr Film Institute was the setting for the "Bling Fling," a fundraiser, and as Juliet Goodfriend, the president of the film institute says, a "fun raiser":
"We're celebrating the Oscars which coincide with our fifth birthday, and we're also selling people's donations of jewelry, so it's a Bling Fling. I think we'll be happy if we raise $10,000 to $20,000."
The patrons were dressed in long black silky dresses with rhinestones, suits, and some jeans and khakis, but mostly dressed up to celebrate the Oscars and to root on their favorite films.
AP Oscar Coverage
Interview in today's Phila. Inquirer with Juliet Goodfriend, who states current plan is to add 2 new screens on parking lot space, and refurbish existing auditoriums.

Bryn Mawr, a good Welsh name which means a Large Hill, for all I know there may not be a hill at all in the region, but it was of course named by Welsh immigrant miners, which came I assume from the village of the same name in Wales.
Attended this morning (7/6/13) the first of the summer series of Marx Brothers classics- today was "Animal Crackers". It was a very nice turnout. Glad to see parents bringing children to attend ( which was the point of the 11am screening)
Was in theatre 1- its a very long and narrow theatre. Very dark and unable to really get photos. Even with the pre-show ads from merchants in the region.
I had to go back and read some of the earlier comments on this theater. I had a deja vu feeling when I walked in, reading the esteemed Mr Haas comments about Budco, that explained why I was having Orleans flashbacks. Reading about injuries someone said that they had, that explains the bizarre marks on my right arm and left knee that I noticed when showering on Saturday post movie (my shower wasn't due to the visit to the BMFI itself, just the overall adventure in the middle of a July heatwave)
I chuckled at the puppet show pre-show about keeping cellphones off, talking down- etc. However even with the work that the folks at the BMFI put into this- someone again thinks they are in their own world, not only with the phone out, but I think taking video off the screen. Umm, the Marx Brothers movies are on DVD.
Also some parent/guardian thought it was a good idea for their child to wear "light up shoes" to a movie theater.
Now, the presentation and sound were good. I was so happy seeing the Marx Brothers on the big screen again. Will I make the trip back there again? Going to have to be for something very special though.
I salute the volunteers, wish Mrs. Goodfriend nothing but success and applaud them for bringing back the films that they do. However, it's just not for me and that's a shame.
I've added to photos 4 of my photos from the Left auditorium of details of original designs on the ceilings & walls, in paint & plaster. Coat of arms in ceiling! Angels in plaster on walls!

Baseball's Back: America's Pastime In Prints, Photos & Paintings
And now we get to the sad part of the collection: the following three pieces are not available for sale (at least as far as I can tell), but maybe if we ask real nice...
8. The St. Louis Egoist featured Joel Anderson's illustration celebrating the Cardinals' 2011 World Series victory. I really need to buy one, please, Joel!
9. In 2010 Dave Eggers created a poster in honor of the San Francisco Giants' World Series win. I came across it on Babble, but unfortunately, it's no longer available through McSweeney's.
10. My absolute favorite baseball design of recent years is definitely the Día De Los Gigantes sugar skull with baseball cap. Ornate, hilarious, badass, and pretty all in one, it graces t-shirts, stickers, and temporary tattoos, but I think it would make a lovely screen print. ¿Por favor?

Really fun. Especially Dia De Los Gigantes. If you want it as wall art, frame the T-shirt. I've framed whole T-shirts with a solid color piece of mounting board in the back (you can adhere it with just a bit of acid-free tape; the glass usually holds the shirt in place enough). Or just center the image on an acoustical ceiling tile, then wrap the fabric to the back, staple, and trim the excess. Add a picture wire to the back ... and voilà ... art!
