Hambone said 261 weeks agoThe bums have WON, Lebowski!!
Googooboyy said 261 weeks agoWhat in the world? Why am I reminded of the A-Team and Chuck Norris?
Nice, but I just can't find enough love for it.
riffster said 261 weeks agooh n yes, i'd prefer mine Banana color than green... but oh well... may i'll just buy this for my gf and admire her having it on instead ;)
Muntoe said 261 weeks agoWell... at least I'm not going broke over all these T-shirts now haha.
I just can't like this one, but I do like that strange sun picture on the side, its pretty cute.
memyself&I said 261 weeks agoSold!
sawbones84 said 261 weeks agogreatest american movie ever made!
BadlyDrawnGuitar said 261 weeks agoI am literally watching this movie right now. Awesome shirt. Purchased.
OpenIntro said 261 weeks agoI LOVE the Big Lewbowski, and was so excited when I saw the preview for the shirt....but....
I REALLY don't like this on the green. You really lose some of the nice shading that shows up in the banana colored shirt.
As The Dude would say, "You f*cked it up! YOU F*CKED IT UP! They're gonna kill that poor woman!"
asianpersuasion said 261 weeks ago-shrug- Not feeling the last few shirts. I do agree with whoever said that they liked the sun picture. Being asian, I'd buy the chinese food + fortune cookie too. Haha.
bluchez said 261 weeks agoNicely timed wotto!
loakey said 261 weeks agoAHHH Love the LOST design! And the sun too. This, not to crazy about
simplysped said 261 weeks agoWhere can I get the billy mays T?
Teknikas said 261 weeks agoThe dude abides!! One of my favorite movies...don't really care for the green background color, but I'm still down with buying this shirt. The Billy Mays shirt there on the right is pretty epic...saw on the news that the dude pictured on the left side of the design got in trouble for beating up a hooker, lolz...what a tool.
xGreatRomances0x said 261 weeks agoUghhh, I wish my dad wore t-shirts like this because I would totally buy it for him. :( Maybe I'll talk to him tomorrow and see what he thinks.
Teknikas said 261 weeks ago@ OpenIntro - I agree with your comment about the shirt color, would've preferred the ladies tee color...but again, I'm still buyin' one!
pincushions said 261 weeks agoI would totally buy this shirt except for two reasons:
1) Banana yellow? Not for this lass.
2) Poor boob placement. Seriously too horizontal RIGHT across the bust line. Not ideal on a lady with any sort of rack, imho.
Otherwise, awesome design!
evilbread said 261 weeks agoAlmost all the art on the side would have made better tee shirts. Not feeling this one
DeltaSigChi4 said 261 weeks agoGoddamn! While I love this shirt, and the film, I think I am a lil' tardy for the Cobain Cello shirt. Goddammit! *mad*
KyleMittskus said 261 weeks agoThis shirt screams awesome. I also really like the top one on the right.
mrdavenport said 261 weeks agothanks for all the comments guys! i had a lot of fun making it.
@simplysped you can get the billy mays shirt here at RandR tees.
by the way,whoever has time, i have a design up over at dbh that could use some votes thanks! :)
ducktree said 261 weeks agoHave only bought two shirts so far, but have come to really appreciate the concept of a high quality limited edition tee for $9, so might as well join the commentary parade. 8) This one I like, but not enough to pull the trigger on, the spray paint stuff in the background doesn't add anything and the green/yellow coloring for the guy's isn't for me. A shame too because I LOVE the movie, one of the greatest movies of the `90s fo sho.
rahmer81 said 261 weeks agothis is one of the better tees that's been up in awhile. if i was more familiar with the big lebowski i would probably buy. i really like your drawing of the sun cathing airplanes in a net!! i would buy that shirt no doubt!!!
stablercake said 261 weeks agoOh man, I want that Pitch Men shirt haha awesome

Damn..I wonder if they make a run at Super Mario? Or a decent WR?
i don't think new england would pony up vincent jackson money but i do think that wr brandon lloyd will be a patriot in 2012...new england absolutely needs to upgrade its wr core though...deion branch is almost washed up and chad johnson was washed up in 2010...the lack of a impact wr on the outside killed the pats...that and gronks injury
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
randy moss is coming back. is he a free agent or does tennesse have rights to him? i can see brady making a push for randy.
Well considering the Pats haven't won a Super Bowl with a high powered offense yet, they might want to go focus on how they won their first three Super Bowls. Defense and a great kicker.

Alpha Epsilon Delta
AED is the world's largest honor society exclusively serving premedical education. The mission of the Society is to encourage and recognize excellence in premedical scholarship; to stimulate an appreciation of the importance of premedical education; to promote communication between medical and premedical students and educators; to provide a forum for students with common interests; and to use its resources to benefit health organizations, charities and the community.
The Mississippi Eta Chapter seeks to provide our members with the opportunity to meet with various professionals within the medical community, pre-health advisors, and admissions officers from various professional schools. Additionally, we work to provide our members with the necessary information (such as application deadlines, course requirements, and interview strategies) that is vital to successfully gaining admission to professional school and for succeeding once you get there. Our members are also encouraged to participate in community services.
Officers for 2013-2014
|Jack Tharp
|Robert Barnes
|Jacob Thompson
|Kayla Thornton
|Faculty Advisor Dr. John Tiftickjian email@example.com
Why should I join AED?
When you apply to a medical school or other health-related professional school, admissions committees look for several things in your application. Most important are: excellent scholarship, admission exam scores (MCAT), extracurricular involvement, health care experience, and letters of recommendation. Just going to class and making excellent grades is not enough. You must be involved with activities other than academics that are designed to broaden your application portfolio. You can find out how to do this by joining AED. If you are serious about a health care profession, then you need to be involved with a total program of preparation. AED membership looks good on your application by itself, but as an active member, you benefit from one of AED's primary goals-to help inform and assist you in the whole pre-health student experience.
Membership requirements
Membership in AED is offered to pre-health students recognized to have superior scholastic achievement.
To be eligible for membership, you must have:
- a GPA of at least 3.2 on all college course work
- a GPA of at least 3.2 in science and math courses (BIO, CHE, PHY, MAT)
- completed at least 3 semesters of full-time course work at an accredited college or university, including at least 1 semester at Delta State.
- The minimum of 3 semesters must have been completed at the time of application. That is, you cannot be accepted for membership while still enrolled in the 3rd semester.
How to apply for membership
AED initiates new members each Spring. Watch for notices around the Caylor-Walters building that tell you when to put in your application. The deadline for applying is usually around the 1st of April. You can pick up an application from the Biological and Physical Sciences Division office or download one here: AED application (PDF).
Health Professions FAQ
AED has an ongoing project with the intention of providing important information to new students interested in the health professions. We are assembling a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) related to any aspect of pre-health professions programs. That FAQ will be posted on this web site as it evolves. If you have a question about admission to medical, dental, or any other health profession school; about program requirements; about what courses to take; about how to apply for professional school; about how difficult it is to get accepted; or about ANY aspect of the pre-professional program experience, please submit to us.
Email your question to Dr. Tiftickjian at email@example.com. You can also submit questions on paper to Dr. Tiftickjian or to any AED officer or to Ms. Knight in the Divison office, Walters 180.
Next meeting: Wednesday, October 16, 2013, 5:00 PM, Caylor 105 (tentative date)
All pre-health students are always invited to AED meetings. You don't have to be member to attend and participate in AED events and projects.

Mike Jinks to officially resign from Steele Friday for coaching position at Texas Tech
Jinks reportedly hired as Red Raiders running backs coach
Steele head football coach Mike Jinks tells KSAT 12 Sports he will announce his resignation Friday to move up to the college coaching ranks.
Jinks was reportedly hired as the running backs coach at Texas Tech and will take over the position on Monday. Jinx will also recruit in San Antonio and Austin for the Red Raiders football program.
The Red Raiders hired former Texas A&M offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury to take over as head coach in December.
Jinks has gone 43-4 over the past 3 seasons at Steele and turned the school into a state powerhouse. He led the Knights to back-to-back 5A state championship game appearances, winning the state title in 2010.

Acne scars are sad reminders that acne treatment fails when it does not address the root causes of acne, especially the inflammatory reaction of your own immune system that aims to destroy a) hardened sebum inside the hair follicles so that it does not further injure the cells lining the walls of the sebum ducts, and b) sebum blocking the pores.
Acne inflammation is a process that destroys even your own cells while immune cells attack the sebum that injures your cells. This happens because your immune system deems sebum is a thread that may compromise your whole body; and thus it can care less if in the process you are left behind with holes or what look as ice pick acne scars.
Is there anything you can do to improve acne scars ? The answer is yes, all types of facial and body or back acne scars are treatable within a varying time frame and cost.
Acne Red Mark
Some spots on the skin may look like scars but are not scars for no trace of them will remain after a while. But even though they are not true scars and will disappear in time, they are visible and may cause embarrassment.
Macules or "pseudo-scars" are flat, red or reddish spots that are the final stage of most inflamed acne lesions. After an inflamed acne lesion flattens, a macule may remain to "mark the spot" for up to 6 months. When the macule eventually disappears, no trace of it will remain—unlike a scar.
Post-inflammatory pigmentation
is discoloration of the skin at the site of a healed or healing inflamed acne lesion. It occurs more frequently in darker-skinned people, but occasionally is seen in people with white skin. Some post-inflammatory pigmentation may persist for up to 18 months, especially with excessive sun exposure.
We offer two acne scar removal creams with enzymes that dissolve acne spots and hyperpigmentation acne marks, one also gets rid of acne scars by resurfacing the skin with abrading micro-crystals.
Early treatment with our topical skin repair cream can minimize the development of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Topical treatment with BIOSKINFORTE cream or with BIOSKINEXFOL can quickly vanish those acne marks and skin resurfacing with BIOSKINEXFOL if done over and over again for enough time, which depends on how deep is the damage, can significantly reduce very indented acne scars.
Both creams absorb quickly and are made from a natural organic immune serum for skin repair and skin regeneration collected from live mollusks (without causing any type of harm to them).
They also contain both natural antibiotic peptides that fight acne infection and bio-available enzymes and peptides that vanish red marks and prevent acne scarring.
BIOCUTIS Products for Acne Scars
Acne scars can be classified in these types: rolling scars, boxcar (similar to chicken pox scars), and pitted, also known as ice-pick acne scars
Rolling acne scars
Occur when bands of tissue develop between the skin's surface and deeper structures beneath. These bands pull at the skin, giving the skin's surface a rolling, "wave-like" appearance.
Boxcar Scars
Boxcar scars occur when an inflamed acne lesion destroys tissue, leaving a sunken area on the skin. They have an oval shape and look like depressions in the skin. Unlike ice pick scars, boxcar scars do not taper to a point. Depending on how severe acne is, the depth of the boxcar scars varies. This kind of scar is most frequently seen on temples and cheeks.
Indented or Pitted Acne Scars
Pitted acne scars are
one of the most difficult skin problems to treat.
Pitted scars are a sign of permanently damaged skin tissue. Although pitted acne scars can never be completely erased, there are a few things one can do to help. One recommendation is to get a series of surgical treatments performed in a dermatologists office – this helps decrease the depth of the scarring. Another key to reducing the appearance of pitted acne scars is to undergo a chemical peel treatment. Different types of acid are applied to the skin in order to remove the top layer so that a smoother layer can surface.
Our BIOSKINEXFOL product, described further below, can reduce the appearance of facial pitted acne scars and also back acne scars if used regularly for a long period of time: 6 to 9 months. It will gently exfoliate the surface of the skin little by little, if you rub your skin with it day after day, until most of the irregular texture and sunken areas are polished away and most of the destroyed skin collagen tissues are regenerated by its skin regeneration activators and will thus plump up the ice pick holes.
Understanding the Skin Repair Process for Acne Scars
The horny layer of our skin is often compared to a brick-and-mortar construction: The large cells of the epidermis are packed tightly together, while the small spaces between them are filled with fats (lipids).
The design is foolproof: The corneocytes keep foreign material out, and the lipids make sure water stays in. The second layer (the epidermis) is about 80µm micrometres or microns thick. The third layer (the dermis) contains the capillaries and nerve endings and is several millimeters thick.
It is on this hard ground that most products are meant to work. Most skin-care products focus on moisturizing the 'dead' layer of the skin, the 10 microns or so that require water so they don't feel dry, but that is not enough and in most cases it is deleterious for it ends wetting the skin too much.
The combination of tough stratum corneum layer and live epidermis makes it extremely difficult for external substances to penetrate skin. Traditionally, only small water-soluble molecules are able to diffuse slowly into the skin.
Physical exfoliation of 10 or so microns, specially of rough tissues and scars helps active ingredients to penetrate more easily the outer layer of the skin into the epidermis and the basal layer, while they also polish the surface and make it softer and look and feel more even.
If scars are indented, pitted or so called ice-pick scars the action of the enzymes in our biological organic serum combined with physical exfoliation by the abrading micro-crystals embeded in a lipid cream base is best.
Acne scar treatment with enzymes and skin resurfacing at home for quick results that will encourage you to persevere and rub the cream onto your skin daily until you get rid of acne scars.
BIOSKINEXFOL, our home microdermabrasion cream for acne scars uses tiny micro-crystals that, rubbed onto your skin regularly for some time, will polish away the upermost microns of damaged skin. It also includes the organic serum with enzymes that take away scar tissues while it speeds skin regeneration.

It is an inert substance and it is insoluble in water and organic substances, and its melting point is 2000 degrees centigrade. MSDS indicate that it is non-carcinogenic and non-toxic for ingestion. These properties make corundum better for exfoliation compared to alternatives like sugar, salt, sea salt (magnesium oxide), or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).

"I just finished my first jar and I noticed an improvement in the texture of my skin in the first 3 weeks. I had 2 extremely noticeable ice pick acne scars on my right cheek from acne and they are much lighter and smoother now. Hopefully they will continue to fade with the use of this product."
Steph Gottsch. SC, USA
"I have been using the cream for about 7 weeks now and I love it. I have noticed a reduction in my deep cystic acne scars caused by to 30 years of acne breakouts. I have had in the past 2 dermabrasions and several chemical peels, years of glycolic acids which reduced the scars somewhat but the cream is definitely working better than all those methods. It has such a calming soothing effect in general on the skin that compares to nothing else I have come across in my search. I believe that it will take time, perhaps about a year, for them to heal at the rate it is going. (…) I am so grateful that I found BIOSKINCARE! "

MIDLAND – On Dec. 3, over 180 Midland-area residents came to take part in the fourth annual "Gifts to Give."
With tremendous help from the media spreading the word, Midland residents engaged in the spirit of regifting; thousands of beautiful items were delivered to the YMCA Employment Service office over the course of two weeks. Children parted with toys, local businesses contributed items, and anyone who could donate did so. It was evident that our community loves the idea of regifting.
A local business offered storage for the donations, the Salvation Army supplied transport for the items, and many dedicated individuals volunteered their time to set up tables.
At noon, a lineup formed; friends and families were served hot chocolate while they waited their turn, and for the next few hours people came shopping without spending a dime.
It wasn't a shopping frenzy, but a thoughtful picking of gifts for loved ones. Many were grateful for the opportunity to have a joyful Christmas thanks to the generosity of the community.
Many stated that this event brightened their holiday season. There were offers to help next year, promises to give back when their situation changes, and many participants also gave generously to the Salvation Army food bank.
There were lots of very happy people: the ones who could help, the ones who were helped, and those who liked the idea of helping the environment.
Thank you to all who supported this event.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Steve Solloway firstname.lastname@example.com
'It's the unexpected that you worry about," Tim Whitehead once said. "But you can't plan for that, can you?"
Tim Whitehead had plenty of success after replacing the late Shawn Walsh as the University of Maine hockey coach. But once the wins and NCAA appearances dried up, a man of character found his grip on the job becoming more and more tenuous.
Gordon Chibroski/Staff Photographer
The man who was the perfect choice to replace a dying Shawn Walsh behind the University of Maine hockey bench became by the end of a 12-year tenure the imperfect coach. Whitehead was relieved of his duties Tuesday. The university will buy out the remaining year of a four-year contract extension, using private money instead of your tax dollars.
That's $195,000 plus one month's salary to make Whitehead go away immediately. When push comes to shove there are no graceful exits, although in prepared statements Maine and Whitehead took the high road. A message left at Whitehead's home was not returned by late Tuesday evening.
Not that there were many more questions to ask of a very decent man who had become a polarizing figure. You either looked at Maine's inability to win another national championship and wanted Whitehead gone, or weighed the seven NCAA appearances, four Frozen Four trips and two championship games, and believed he deserved another chance.
You either applauded the team's resilience in reaching the NCAA tournament in 2012 or criticized Whitehead for not taking his team deeper into the playoffs. Maine lost in the regional to Minnesota-Duluth.
Hours before the game, Whitehead didn't know if a doctor would clear leading scorer Spencer Abbott, who suffered a concussion in the Hockey East tournament. Abbott played.
You loved Whitehead for his understanding and compassion in guiding Maine in the weeks and months after Walsh's funeral. Maine made it to the championship game at the Frozen Four in St. Paul, Minn. Whitehead was the interim coach with Shawn Walsh's name on the hockey sweater hanging behind the team bench at games. Walsh's initials were on the players' sleeves and Walsh's words were still burned into the back of their minds.
With help from senior captain Peter Metcalf in particular, Whitehead made the transition work. But to some of Maine's most fervent fans he would always be the interim coach, even when the university signed him to his first multiyear contract.
Whitehead understood that, too. "What's the saying? You want to be the guy who follows the guy who followed the successful coach. I'm the guy following the successful coach who passed away."
It didn't matter to some of the loyalists that Whitehead was hand-picked by Walsh. It was a temporary assignment, I kept hearing. How they knew was another matter.
Whitehead is a perceptive, intelligent man. His dismissal should not have been unexpected. In the prepared statement, Athletic Director Steve Abbott laid the woes of this year's 11-19-8 season and the previous four seasons at Whitehead's feet.
"This is about our marquee program," said Abbott. "Since 2008, UMaine has experienced declining Hockey East success, season ticket sales and overall ticket revenues, and waning student engagement in men's ice hockey."
You can't refute that, no matter how often Whitehead dealt with injured players and premature defections to pro hockey. The problem of perception is always the hardest to overcome and Whitehead cultivated few allies to help him escape Walsh's shadow. He stood on his record and his character. The record went south; the character didn't.
Although Whitehead's handling of Joey Diamond in the games that counted most at the end of this season was troubling. Diamond played undisciplined, selfish hockey in the series with New Hampshire and then UMass-Lowell, and Whitehead didn't sit him down. I understand loyalty and Diamond's contributions to the program and don't know what was said or not said between head coach and senior captain.
But Diamond's on-ice behavior was a terrible way to end a good college career. Was it a tipping point? Maybe not.

For a different look this Valentine's Day, try a little whimsy with some fresh-cut tulips — also, roses, daffodils, lilies or whatever you fancy — you pick up and arrange at home.
Here are some ideas from iBulb, http://uk.ibulb.org.
Trim a jar: A plain Mason jar looks country cute with a bit of white ball-fringe, lace or rickrack glued just below the jar lip. Also try brush, beaded or tassel trim from a local fabric store or online trim retailer.
Color some water: Food coloring turns a clear vase into a colorful vessel. Matching blooms and water color deliver a passionate punch.
Steady your bouquet: Use seashells or sea glass to stabilize a short bunch of tulips — or other cut flowers. Fill vase two-thirds full with shells. Band tulips with florist tape and cut stems to 3 inches long. Place bouquet on top of shells, and carefully fill in remaining area around bouquet with shells. Gently fill the vase with water.

Wilted Escarole with Feta, Walnuts, and Honey
Author Notes: Searing escarole brings out its light bitter flavor. Sweet honey and creamy, salty feta cheese complement that bitterness and turn this plain leafy green into a restaurant-worthy appetizer. - Brooklyn Salt
Food52 Review: I loved the sweet, salty and bitter flavors of this lovely salad. Searing the escarole takes the edge off of its bite and creates a wonderful bed for the feta, honey and nuts. And if escarole is difficult to find, give it a try with romaine -- just as lovely, but not quite as bitter. A great starter for friends and family!
- inpatskitchen
Serves 1 or 2
- 1/4 head of escarole, cut lengthwise with stem intact
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
- 8 walnut halves, chopped
- Honey to taste
- Wash the escarole thoroughly, making sure to get between the leaves to rid them of any sand. Shake off most of the water, and sprinkle the escarole with salt and pepper.
- Add olive oil to a large saute pan over medium high heat. Once hot, place the escarole in the pan and sear for about 30-40 seconds on all sides until all leaves are slightly wilted.
- Transfer the escarole to a plate, top with feta cheese, walnuts and drizzle with honey. Serve right away.

I grilled wedges of CSA escarole last week - no bitterness at all. I bet that would work nicely with this recipe as well.

Awesome idea, getting a nice char on the escarole would be an awesome contrast to the honey and feta.

Just made a spin on this for dinner! Melted an anchovy and some thyme in olive oil, then seared. Topped with lemon and pine nuts and ricotta. So good. Thanks for helping me like escarole!

Thanks Adelucchi! I have to try that soaking tip. Parmesan/Pecorino and almonds sounds like a great variation on this dish. So glad you liked it!
over 1 year ago Adelucchi
Thanks for this recipe! I get escarole in my organic vegetable box and needed a go to recipe. I had read somewhere to soak it in ice cold water for an hour or overnight to knock down some of the bitterness. I did that to the wedges and then followed your recipe. No feta but had some pecorino and Parmesan to sprinkle with almonds and the drizzle of honey. It was great!

Put the DVD in....pushed play and worked out...Insanity day 38...DONE!!!
Take DVD out of player...realized i just redid day 37's workout....so I'll be doing the day 38 workout out before lunch after I give my body a chance to recover a bit from the first workout. :)
It's a hard workout but so very worth it.
After seeing the knee doc yesterday I have reduced the leg moves to low impact with less jumping but was still able to pull 2606 steps and 21 minutes of registered activity on my arm band :) I'll give it a week or two on lower impact and in the meantime I will tweak my diet to have reduced calories matching the reduced number of calories I will be burning. I really really love my bodymedia fit armband :) I have one of the older models that you have to plug up to the computer to get the info but I still love my armband :)
What have you done over the past 40 days?
Me....I have been changing my life :) Working out, eating clean foods, cutting out processed foods, changing the way I look at food, and working out some more.
has it been easy, NO! not always
has it been worth it, YES! always!
I have been working on my "No Excuses" program that I made for myself and have been getting much finished but I feel like there is still sooooo very much more that I need to get done.
I don't feel like I'm at the point I would like to be in getting healthy so I am going to kick it all up a notch :) All that can happen is I get better faster :)
Right now I am keeping my workouts at a lower impact and I have really really noticed a difference on the scale. When my armband gives me a full hour of vigorous activity each day I notice a large drop in weight and inches. With the lower impact I am doing right now I am still getting activity but it's doesn't reach vigorous, I am still growing a LOT of muscles, and losing fat and weight....it's just at a more 'normal' rate.
So.... I have to decide if I am going to push through no matter what my knees and feet feel like or am I going to keep it low impact till I am below 200 pounds like my knee doc said he thinks is wise. he says the pain in my knees and feet that I have been having that is different from my normal pain is just my neurophy acting out and it's not an injury. he is worried I could hurt myself doing to much with the amount of weight my knees are having to support.
SO I knocked it down a notch for the time being...... The problem is when I knock it down a notch I notice the massive pain I get from my neurophy returns...so I have to pick which pain I am going to allow to be around right now as I work to get healthy :)
The fact is the more I work out the less I have overall pain....so you know what I will do is just give it till Monday but then on Monday I am kicking it all back up to be as high impact I am able to handle :) It's working for me and I don't like to change things that are working.
In other news in my life.....I have decide to write a book. I have soooo much knowledge about being healthy, getting healthy, and staying healthy that I have learned over the years that I have decided I need to just put it all together and share it with the world. thinking I'm going to make a cookbook or a diet book that deals with health issues that I have dealt with and over come or learned to live a fruitful life in spite of what I'm told I am or am not capable of doing. :) We all have to realize that just because someone tells us we 'can't' do something due to physical limits does not mean we can't work at it and learn to accommodate our lives in a way that will allow us to achieve anything we set our minds too. Sometimes you can't do things the way everyone else is doing them but that doesn't mean you are not able to find a way that works for you that will allow you to achieve your dream. :)
just because I know what needs to be done doesn't mean I have always listened to myself...and that my friends is another thing I can write about. I know I'm not the only one that has gone through the things that I have been through that have landed me in the place i am in today. But I also know that some of the people that have walked in shoes like mine are still trapped in the place I was trapped only a few short months ago. It's time to stop the cycle and get healthy! If by writing what I am going through and what I know is able to help one person to become a better person and more healthy it will be worth everything :)
In the mean time...i have been looking for healthy recipes I can make and then freeze so I don't have to cook all the time and so that people that are eating frozen boxed meals can make their own without all the extra chemicals... Today I found a great one!. :)
How are you all doing? what have you done this week to make your life better and the world a better place?
Insanity day 45...DID IT! I did not feel like working out today....just didn't feel like it....I almost skipped my workout...but my amazing friend Cassie PMed me and asked how my workout went today....I felt bad not having already finished...so I did my workout. :) THANK YOU Cassie for giving me the kick in the bottom I needed to get going!
Today I took a plank challenge....the challenge was to stay in plank for 2 minutes....I made it 1 minute 11 seconds....How long can you stay in plank?
53 days of insanity and working out and eating clean :) I have not reached the point I was hoping to but I have gotten much much stronger and wiser :) My weight stalled at 217-221.....then it started going up...I was sleepy alllll the time and falling asleep. My legs and feet swelled up and I went to the doc.
Turned out it was all because I had stopped taking my thyroid Meds.
back on my meds and feeling sooooooooo much better. After just 24 hours I could tell a major difference in my energy level and mind clarity :) Been back on the meds for 2 days now and getting back on track with everything :) Even made it over here to blog. :)
so everyone...if you are having problems with eating right and working out but you just can't get the scale to go down...get your doc to check your blood. The three things that have been a big factor in my health over the past year has been Vit B's, Testosterone , and thyroid hormone levels. All three things were way to low...not they are all getting back to where they should be :) and I once again feel like Me :)
Kerry, thank you and your husband for your sacrifice! I live in Pensacola, FL which is a Navy/Marines town, so I see service men and women all the time. I have such admiration for those that serve and their families that give so much for my benefit. Not to mention your diet/workout advice kicks ass too.
Thank you Rocky13 :)
I"m getting sooooo much stronger than I was :) been really working hard and working out for 59 days now :) The changes I have had in my life are beyound what I could have imaged :) I can't wait to see what the next 5 weeks will bring :)

If you happened to be in Arizona in late 2002, you might have heard the snipping of shears in the desert air as multiple ribbon-cutting ceremonies marked the debut of several new resorts, including the state's largest, the $315 million JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa. And while most of the new construction is found in the resort mecca of Phoenix/Scottsdale, ground has also been broken, 100 miles to the south, on Tucson's first new resort in 15 years.
In a state renowned for the quality of its health and wellness facilities, new and established properties continue to invest heavily in the construction of elaborate resort spas, which are designed to entice guests seeking the latest in exotic treatments and relaxation. Hot stone massage, the use of indigenous plants, and the adaptation of American Indian healing rituals are among the newest trends.
As competition for meetings heats up among Arizona's resorts, creativity is sizzling — if you find yourself thinking that casinos, canal boats, and wildlife are attractions found only in a glitzy city on the other side of the Grand Canyon, then it's time to reacquaint yourself with the nation's 48th state.
Phoenix and Scottsdale
The world's largest collection of desert plants is displayed on five trails with 60 interactive outdoor exhibits at the Desert Botanical Garden. An open-air pavilion accommodates 125; other venues are available for groups of 30 to 300. (480) 941-1225; www.dbg.org
Ten galleries at the Heard Museum showcase American Indian crafts and paintings. Private dinners can be arranged. (602) 252-8840; www.heard.org
The Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum is a combination wildlife zoo, natural history museum, and botanical garden. It can host up to 200 for a meeting or 140 for a banquet. (520) 883-2702; www.desertmuseum.org
- The Old West comes alive at Hollywood in the Desert, Old Tucson Studios theme park and film set, where hundreds of Western movies and TV shows have been filmed. (520) 883-0100; www.oldtucson.com
For a company that requested a special evening to reflect its meeting's theme of unity, Joyce Hergert, of Plaza Planners in Scottsdale, wove a multitude of cultural elements into "Cowboys and Indians," a uniquely Arizona experience. The 300 guests headed out in Jeeps across the Sonoran Desert to the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation northeast of Phoenix, where they were greeted by costumed saloon girls carrying drinks and hors d'oeuvres.
After a traditional welcome prayer led by an American Indian, the group was entertained by a hoop dancer before joining in the interactive Unity Dance. Guests enjoyed a Southwestern buffet followed by cowboy games and the chance to watch local artisans at work. Others climbed onto the mechanical bull or learned how to rope a calf.
If your travel plans include renting a car upon arrival at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, be aware that a variety of taxes can dramatically inflate the basic rental charge. If you're not comfortable paying more for a rental car than for some airfares to the city, consider using your hotel's van service, a taxi, or renting a car only for the days you will truly need one.
Slathering on sunscreen and drinking plenty of water are a way of life in arid Arizona, but certain prescription medications can create additional sensitivity to the sun's rays. Know before you go if your Rx has the potential to boost your chances of leaving with a souvenir sunburn.
Arizona has abundant wildlife, which turns up everywhere. If you encounter a coyote, rattlesnake, or bobcat on the golf course, step back in a nonthreatening manner and let the animal continue on its way before resuming your game.
One of Scottsdale's most picturesque landmarks, Pinnacle Peak, is now more than a scenic vista. New hiking trails offer the opportunity to experience the desert firsthand while enjoying spectacular views. The trails are suitable for all skill levels, but wear hiking boots, not tennis shoes, for safe traction.

Is there such a thing? I can find the same old one in several places but nothing up to date…? I have one for Photoshop but not AI. I script AI but would like to parse some info out of the file itself for a Bridge script…
Hi Mark,
I think the only document you can get is AI7FileFormat.pdf. From version 9.0 .AI file format has being keep secret by Adobe.
With CS6 you will be able to dump a readable PGF file first(I mean by script), and then try to deal with it.
BTW, what info you want to parse from ai document?
Wow, Ive not put my head in here for ages… ( didn't get notified of any response )… Yes I have that pdf but it contains nothing of what Im after… Plus Im not sure if it can be relied upon being so old… What I was going to look at doing was adding my own custom name space to the file XMP where I can pack additional info about the doc… Bridge will show plates, fonts and swatches but Im interested in storing collections like brushes, graphic styles, symbols and such alike… I want a Bridge tabbed panel to pickup this data and show me on file selection… I want to do the same for my Indesign files but thats another story and possibly easier to do…
Yes, the dumped readable PGF file is follow AI7FileFormat Specification, so not easy but possible with CS6 through javascript. Before CS6 the AI file should save with "Use Compression" option unchecked in order to be readable.
(Adobe Calligraphic Brush Tool)
(7 pt. Round)

Yup that is the kind of additional info I want to display… My problem is I have CS5 for the foreseeable future… Plus the files will be mixed CS versions and mostly compressed… Oh eek

Placer County is teaming up with the state to contribute to the Placer Land Trust's acquisition of 1,773 acres of oak woodlands located outside of Auburn.
On Tuesday, the Placer County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve an agreement that will allow the Placer Land Trust to complete acquisition of the property in cooperation with The Trust for Public Land. The property is part of the 2,300-acre Bruin Ranch, which is located in the Auburn Valley-Big Hill area. The ranch is west of Highway 49 and just south of the Bear River, the boundary between Placer and Nevada counties.
Board members and county staff emphasized that, given current land values and the substantial match to be provided by the state, the timing is right and the county is getting a good deal. The agreement provides for public access over the 1,773-acre site, but the county will face minimal maintenance costs because the site ultimately will be owned by the Placer Land Trust, rather than the county.
The county funding would include $1 million from its Tree Mitigation Trust Fund and $4 million from the Placer County Open Space Fund. Both funds are reserved for one-time conservation expenditures, rather than on-going costs. The Open Space Fund includes substantial contributions by county employees and citizens.
Supervisor Robert M. Weygandt called Tuesday's board vote historic, saying, "I think 100 years from now, when people look back, they're going to be very pleased with some of the decisions we made."
Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery echoed his sentiments, saying the county and its partners are preserving the land in part so it can be enjoyed by future generations.
"There is no question that this is a lot of money we're being asked to spend today, but the time is absolutely right in terms of pricing," she said. "This is a good deal for Placer County in the short term and the long term."
Board members noted Tuesday that Placer County will enjoy many benefits from the acquisition, including public access over the 1,773-acre property and conservation credits that would aid efforts to implement the proposed Placer County Conservation Plan (PCCP). The conservation plan would seek to balance growth and the conservation of sensitive species habitat, open space and agricultural lands over the next 50 years.
On Nov. 23, as recommended by the California Department of Fish and Game, the California Wildlife Conservation Board approved the allocation of $4.5 million in voter-approved grant funds toward the Bruin Ranch project.
The Placer Land Trust has secured funding for management of the property through a local fund-raising campaign.
After the acquisition is complete, Placer County will work with the Placer Land Trust to develop a public trail system on the 1,773-acre site that will provide for public recreational opportunities such as hiking, biking and horseback riding.
During Tuesday's board discussion, Chairman Kirk Uhler said he is concerned about ensuring the public has adequate access over the site, but added that he has been assured by the county's partners that access issues will be resolved.
"It is with that assurance that I'm comfortable with moving forward on this right now, because the opportunity is a tremendous one for us and we would be remiss in passing it up," he said.
"I truly believe it is a win-win that provides the county and its residents with great benefits at an exceptional value," explained Jeff Darlington, Executive Director of the Placer Land Trust. "Through this transaction, PLT was happy to assist the county to meet its valley conservation requirements set forth by the agencies through the PCCP."
The Placer Land Trust and The Trust for Public Land hope to protect the remaining 526 acres of Bruin Ranch by acquiring the property or a conservation easement from the ranch's owner, Harvego Real Estate LLC.
The Trust for Public Land has been working on Bruin Ranch for nearly 10 years, most recently with the Placer Land Trust. The site is the largest intact oak woodland ranch in the Bear-Yuba foothills and features rolling blue oak woodlands, rangelands, annual grasslands and more than 20 acres of seasonal wetlands, ponds and riparian corridors. Several miles of the Bear River run alongside the northern boundary of the ranch.
Bruin Ranch also includes several miles of ranch roads that could easily be turned into public trails. It is viewed as an important link in a trail system that ultimately could run from Placer County's 1,197-acre Hidden Falls Regional Park to the Bear River. The regional park is southwest of Bruin Ranch between Auburn and Lincoln.
Placer County has been working with the city of Lincoln and Placer County Water Agency for several years to develop the proposed conservation plan. The county plans to submit a draft plan for review by federal and state regulatory agencies early next year. The draft plan also will be available for review by the public.
If regulatory agencies approve the PCCP, Placer County and Lincoln will assume wide-ranging responsibility within their jurisdictions for protecting plant and animal species covered by federal and state endangered species acts and for conserving wetland resources protected by federal and state law.
At the same time, the conservation plan would establish a streamlined, locally controlled permit process for development projects.
The PCCP would seek to avoid conflicts between urban growth and important open space resources by identifying areas where development would be likely and reserve areas that would be conserved to protect wildlife and wetland areas.
Acquiring conservation easements on the 1,773 acres at Bruin Ranch and on the 427-acre Doty Ravine Preserve would boost the county's efforts to create the conservation plan's reserve system. The latter property provides high-quality habitat for a number of endangered species, as well as vernal pools, grasslands and oak woodlands.
If the PCCP is adopted, these two acquisitions will help Placer County comply with federal and state rules that will require the county to conserve wildlife habitat and wetlands in reserve areas before allowing impacts in areas identified for development. The agreement approved by the Board of Supervisors Tuesday would provide conservation credits that could be used to help meet the federal and state requirements.
The Bruin Ranch acquisition will be the largest completed by Placer Land Trust to date. It views the ranch as a key link to creating a trail system and wildlife corridor that would connect more than 6,500 acres in the Bear River and Coon Creek watersheds.
Work between the two lands trusts in Placer County gave rise to the Bear-Yuba Partnership, a program started in 2009 to create a conservation strategy aimed at protecting the foothills in the Bear River and Yuba River watersheds in Placer, Nevada and Yuba counties. The Nevada County Land Trust also is a member of the partnership.
Bruin Ranch is the partnership's first high-profile project. The next project will continue the momentum built by the trusts with the acquisition of the 652-acre Garden Bar Preserve directly adjacent to Bruin Ranch across the Bear River in Nevada County.
Placer Land Trust is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in 1991 that is dedicated to working with willing landowners and conservation partners to permanently preserve natural and agricultural lands in Placer County.
To date, the Placer Land Trust has preserved 7,171 acres for current and future generations.
For more information about the Placer Land Trust, call 530-887-9222 or visit www.placerlandtrust.org.
The Trust for Public Land is a national, nonprofit land conservation organization that conserves land for people to enjoy as parks, community gardens, historic sites, rural lands and other natural places, ensuring livable communities for generations to come.
Since 1972, TPL has completed close to 4,000 land conservation projects in 47 states, protecting 2.8 million acres.

Jimmy Buffett
Attention must be paid. Somehow conspiracy theorists missed the most curiously uncanny (or at least most ironic) coincidence surrounding the 2010 Nashville Flood: That it struck mere hours after Jimmy "Surf and Turf" Buffett's Under the Big Top Tour's Nashville stop wrapped up at Bridgestone Arena. That's right, Mr. Margaritaville was giving 15,000-plus beach-ball-brandishing Music City Parrotheads license to chill, strutting across the stage like a landshark and singing about volcanoes and cheeseburgers in paradise, while conditions outside were anything but paradisiacal. Luckily, when the Bruce Springsteen of Board Shorts and his trusty Coral Reefer Band returned to the arena a year later, ensuing disasters were only musical in nature. Whether it storms tonight or not, one thing is certain: Margaritaville will be packed.

Complaint filed against misleading Malaysian Palm Oil Council advert
Friends of the Earth International have filed a complaint to the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) about an internet banner advert of the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) with the words "Sustainable. Food Security. Societal Advancement. This is Palm Oil."
The advert was displayed on the Guardian Environment Blog website at least on the March 28, 2011, probably longer. We believe it constitutes a breach of the British code of advertising, sales promotion and direct marketing.
Already on January 9, 2008 and on August 27, 2009 the ASA found that a TV advert and a print advert respectively by MPOC with equivalent claims about the sustainability of palm oil breached rules and should not reappear.
MPOC have chosen to disrespect the ASA's ruling and have continued to produce misleading adverts about the sustainability of palm oil.
Friends of the Earth is worried that future adverts of MPOC will continue to ignore the Code and asks the ASA to utilise the full range of penalties at its disposal in response.
In particular Friends of the Earth suggests that:
- MPOC publish an advert of the same size that explains that their previous advert was misleading.
- The ASA advises UK media not to publish any adverts of MPOC for a substantial period, as they consistently mislead.
Relevant articles of the Code
3.1 Before distributing or submitting a marketing communication for publication, marketers must hold documentary evidence to prove all claims, whether direct or implied, that are capable of objective substantiation.
3.2 If there is a significant division of informed opinion about any claims made in a marketing communication they should not be portrayed as generally agreed.
7.1 No marketing communication should mislead, or be likely to mislead, by inaccuracy, ambiguity, exaggeration, omission or otherwise.
49.2 Claims such as 'environmentally friendly' or 'wholly biodegradable' should not be used without qualification unless marketers can provide convincing evidence that their product will cause no environmental damage when taking into account the full life cycle of the product. Qualified claims and comparisons such as 'greener' or 'friendlier' may be acceptable if marketers can substantiate that their product provides an overall improvement in environmental terms either against their competitors' or their own previous products.
49.3 Where there is a significant division of scientific opinion or where evidence is inconclusive this should be reflected in any statements made in the marketing communication. Marketers should not suggest that their claims command universal acceptance if that is not the case.
Areas of complaint
1. The banner advert says "Sustainable. Food Security. Societal Advancement. This is Palm Oil."
This is contravention of principle 49.2 as the use of the term "Sustainable" in this context implies that palm oil is a particularly environmentally friendly product, while the marketer cannot provide convincing evidence that palm oil will cause no environmental damage when taking into account the full life cycle of the product.
The use of the term "sustainable" in this context is also in breach of
- principle 3.1 as the claim that palm oil is always sustainable cannot be substantiated.
- principle 3.2 as MPOC portrays their claims in a way that suggests they generally accepted, despite that there is significant division of informed opinion about the environmental and social impacts of palm oil.
- principle 7.1 as MPOC misleads the reader by making inaccurate claims in contradiction to generally accepted evidence for major negative environmental impacts of palm oil plantations.
- principle 49.2 the claim that palm oil is "sustainable" is similar to "environmental friendly" and the marketer cannot provide convincing evidence that palm oil will cause no environmental damage when taking account the full life cycle.
- principle 49.3 as the ad suggest that the claim that palm oil is sustainable command universal acceptance while this is not the case.
