Hey gang. Just thought I'd check in. These last few weeks have been the hardest of the challenge for me, and I've really been struggling. I did great with weight loss during the challenge, but when I got to the 18 lb mark it got really difficult. I did manage to get to the 20 lb mark, but I haven't been able to hold on to it. This past friday I got so frustrated that I had a binge day, and that turned into a binge 3-day weekend. I'm now back at 18 lbs down, and struggling to keep things moving in the right direction. I've been good on my diet again for the last two days, but I'm definately stuck in a plateau range here. Just haven't been able to push past that 20 lb loss mark, no matter what I do.
I'm still fighting, though, and with 1.5 weeks left on the challenge there's no way I'm going to quit. A few weeks back I was hoping that I'd have a total weight loss at the end of the challenge of 25-7 lbs, but now I'm hoping for 21 lbs. I just want to finish as strong as I can.
I'm off to the gym for LBWO. I hope you all have a great day! Stay strong!
@ Steve - Sounds like a plateau for sure. As a bonus challenge, try a new workout, diet, and cardio to mix things up these last few days. Look up a new exercise, eat spinach instead of eggplant, kayak instead of run.
I have been on a bit of a plateau as well. Unable to break out of the 189 mark. I also am being hampered by the neck strain from a few weeks back. I think I reinjured it this weekend while tossing my children in the pool (not a euphamism for anything, I swear - LOL). I took an extra day off on Monday, but my LBWO just made it worse. I plan to have a light UBWO at lunch and take it easy on the soccer field tonight with the kids.
@Roo - I swear, if you don't get the award for most improved, I will be surprised. Your commitment and efforts have got to be paying off. I look forward to seeing the final numbers at the end. GOOD JOB!
And to the rest of you - congrats on getting this far. We are soooo close to the end of the challenge. three uppers, two lowers, a few more HIIT, then a justly deserved break before the next challenge.
Between challenges, I plan on continuing my healthy diet (6 out of the 7 days :-), reducing my protein intake a little, keep up cardio 3-4 days/week. And reintroduce myself to Ben & Jerry - in moderation, of course...
What are y'all's plans for after this?
It's almost Friday FIVERS!!!
Iamsteve, 18 LBs down is NOTHING to sneeze at & I'm SURE you've dumped more than that in fat, having offset it with lean!!!
Frick, unfortunately the numbers aren't anywhere near what I'd hoped for BUT the fitness capabilites in both cardio & lifting have improved immensely which leads into answerring your waht next quandry! I've already posted a Q4 2010 challenge, completing Christmas morning, in the "Getting Started" area. Pie Princess has already chimed in and she has her huby fired up to join in as well! Come on down!!!
As for me / today, right out of the gate I want to thank all of you crazy pals in here! Moral support, accountability, & motivation is what makes BfL ROCK & if it weren't for y'all today would've been a HORRID daytrip all the way back to "Fat Boy Rules!"
So thanks to Murphy, today had already turned into a home "Precor cardio only" day then I walk into the break room this morning to make my mid morning protein shake & some "nice person" has baked a HUGE platter of several various kinds of cookies including my very favorite, peanut butter cookies with M&Ms!!! Just say NO! 8 OZ of ice, 12 OZs of water, just say NO, just walk away! Whew, made it!!!
Then somebody decided our all afternoon meeting clear across town needed a kickoff lunch at that same "best BBQ buffet" in Memphis. GRRR! Smoked chicken, cabbage heart coleslaw, 1 piece of catfish & 1 yeast dinner roll for dessert, ONLY 1, I swear!!!
Then the meeting goes way long & on the drive home I approach one of the coolest biker bars around! It sets immediately adjacent to one of the Mid-South's largest Harley Dealers & right across the street from the only Victory / Triumph dealer for hours! WAIT!!! It's Wednesday!!! That means its BIKE NIGHT!!! "Fat Boy Rules" kicked in & the commuter-mobile is parked before I remember even hitting the turn signal. Hmmm!!! How'd that happen?!?!?
So, the lot is just starting to fill up with bikes, the band is just tuning up, my favorite stage side patio table is still open (I used to be a REAL regular), back to the wall (aces & eights you know!) beer & bourbon flowing like Niagara Falls, life is good! Okay, WAKE UP!!! "Unsweetened Iced Tea" I hear myself order! Whew! Okay, look at the menu dummy! YEP! It's still there! The house special!!! Smoked 8 Oz Prime Rib Hoagie…MMM! NO!!! Just say NO!!! The "Biker Burger!" MMM 2/3 LB of ground prime beef slathered in melted cheddar & pepper jack w/ beer battered onion rings! Mmm!!! NO NO NO!!! Ahhh!!! The bike night special! SALVATION!!! Mesquite smoked Ahi Tuna Steak, Caesar side salad & a cup of Cajun gumbo! Bingo! Whew, dodged yet another bullet!
Been there for an hour now, tunes are cranking, bikes & roaring in & out, scenery is amazing…life is good! Here comes the waitress with the dessert tray…No No No!!! "Thanks anyhow, check please" I hear myself mutter without even a mental battle! You guys & gals ROCK!!! There's NO WAY I'd have made it through this day without all of you setting on my shoulders kicking that lil flame skinned, pitchfork wielding, buzzard off to the side! THANKS!!!
Got home, hopped on the upright bike & pedaled off 6.3 miles @ 18.0 MPH, burning off 243 calories @ 11.6 Cal/Min so all in all a successful endeavor! Y'all have an OUTSTANDING day!
Hope you were at least able to put your harley vest on while you rode the cardio hawg...do you have the monkey bars and tassels on it as well? :-)
I think I would have caved by the second set. Good job.
Frick, it was a tough day but fun none the less LOL!
Now today on the other hand...life just happens doesn't it?!?!? Found out last night that we've got some family schiznit I've gotten volunteered to take care of back home in Indiana this weekend so tomorrow actually bailing work a couple hours early to round the troops & hit the blacktop for 11 hours of legal road time, plus stops along the way, in order to spend Saturday & Sunday morning taking care of business then Sunday afternoon, evening, & night driving back in time to hit it bright & early Monday morning head screwed back on straight. GRRR!!!
So, all that being said, since last night's LBWO got screwed & tomorrow night's LBWO won't happen, combined with the fact I'll need at least one eye lid functional at all times until the wee hours of Saturday morning on the road, means today is "it" for week 11 so I decided on a hybrid approach.
I did my usual 3 prong HIIT cardio biking, pedaling away 7.0 miles total @ 20.0 MPH average while toasting 193 calories total @ 9.2 Cal/Min average so apparently aggravation can be harnessed effectively! I ground out 42,380 LBs of LBWO between legs 1 & 2, then between legs 2 & 3 cranked off 37,700 LBs of UBWO totaling 80,080 LBs of "total body" iron shuffled around tonight.
See y'all Monday. Have an OUTSTANDING weekend!!! Go Razorbacks!
Hey Gang! Hope all is well. Roosed -- you are a workout machine! I am always so impressed with you!
I don't know what happened to me today, but I went on an eating binge. I just couldn't control myself today. All relatively healthy items, but about triple the normal portions I should be having. Not good.
Unfortunately for me, I'll be making up for it the hard way. Tomorrow is Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement. For Yom Kippur one typically fasts, and so I'll be fasting from dinner tomorrow to dinner on Saturday. It's not going to be fun, but hopefully the scale will be kind to me after. :-)
Hope you are all well! Just over a week to go! Stay strong (stronger than I was today)!
Happy Monday Fivers!!! This is it!!! Week 12!
It was a VERY VERY VERY long weekend, not "extended" just LONG! 12 hours in the saddle, after work, Friday, all day Saturday & most of Sunday morning taking care of business up North, then another 12 hours in the saddle driving home yesterday. UGH!!! We left "Home" up there about noon in full blazing sunshine then 2 hours later rolled into a freaking monsoon in Indianapolis, then drove back into sun leaving Indy. I think God was cleaning Indy up, getting it ready for the Colts pummeling of little Eli & the Giants last evening LOL!
Sorry gang. Being "back home" up North, Fat Boy Rules kicked in & we all ate horribly all weekend long. I'll spare ya the details but since there are several "local favorites" we hadn't been to in over 3 years, combined with "road food" going up & coming back, the diet was just plain BAD all weekend long. I stepped on the scale this AM & it only showed a couple LBs damage to the progress but I KNOW my body. The damage from this past weekend will be "creeping on" all week long so I'm going to have to REALLY work this week to finish my Body for Life challenge strong come Sunday.
The Mrs is hell-bent I should just pull my 20 minute HIIT cardio bike fests daily instead of weight training & cardio for this last week to try and lean out as much as possible to save what ground I can but this is Body for LIFE not Body for Challenge so I'm not convinced the further disruption to the routine is worth it. I told her I'd seek your opinions! We haven't made it 25 years by not listening to each others ideas LOL! What do y'all think?!?!?
Stick to the plan (sorry Mrs. Roos) If this were a body building challenge, I would suggest HIIT for the last two weeks, and eliminating all fat and carbs (reducing diet by 1000 calories or so). Good for a pose-off, but would only lead to binge eating next week. This is a journey, not a roller coaster ride that takes you right back to where you started. Stick to the program, enjoy the progress, reward yourself with some downtime, set new goals and jump back in.
As for me, I continue to be hampered with this danged neck strain (first griped about it on 8/4) so have decided to preclude all weights for a while. Gameplan is for low impact lower body aerobics for the next few days and reduced carb intake by 500 calories. Kind of a bummer to get to this point on the final week, but I am tired of this nagging pain and know that only time can heal it. Schlepping lead weights around is only making things worse.
Looking forward to the next challenge, but will probably start a little later than you guys. You all have been such an inspiration and so motivational. It has helped to keep me focused on my goals. Thank you again.
If you get a chance, watch the movie "Dodgeball". I saw it last night and crack up at Ben Stiller's intimate Pizza scene. What a great movie with insight to the Gym Rat philosophy.
Frick, even if you're a week or 2 behind 03 OCT 10 come on over!!! It's been a blast trudging through this thing together!!! Man, you wait an extra week you'll have Christmas in week 12 and 2 weeks will put Christmas in 11 and New Year's in week 12...you better just jump in with us and ease in along the way!
Last Night: Legs, Legs & More Legs LOL!
It would appear that the gurus have spoken LOL! You may be happy to know that the bodybuilding.com'ers all agreed with y'all as well! I had to nicely tell the Mrs that popular opinion was against her idea of skipping wt.s for week 12 so onward and upward, business as usual!
So, on my way to the gym last night she sends me a text, "Knowing you're a leg man, you'll find something special waiting for you on the bed when you get home!" Now, knowing that she's working 2nd shift right now this message had me truly puzzled as you may imagine!
Last night was the first night on the slightly modified LBWO including it being a plate increase day, dropping the reps / set back to 10, so between my usual HIIT split cardio pedal fests there were 69,300 LBs of iron shuffled LBWO style then off to the house I went!
Walk in the door and there, neatly displayed across the foot of the bed was a note on a bag of Kingsford charcoal! The note said they had a managers special on drumstick family packs which I would find waiting for my attention in the fridge. Not exactly what I had in mind but…what a woman LOL!
Tonight will be UBWO night. I wonder if she'll find a sale on chicken breasts somewhere today ROTFLMAO!!!
Y'all have a GREAT day!!!
Happy Friday Fivers!
Well, this Sunday is it & although I've made some decent progress & have increased my strength & cardio training abilities immensely I haven't really accomplished anywhere near the weight loss or body composition goals I had set after having read "The Book!" Now, I realize the folks in the book are hand selected poster children but Grrr!!! Sunday I'll post the final B4 & After details.
Just to paint the fitness picture, since July 5th my HIIT cardio performance (on my home upright Precor bike & the upright cardio bikes at the gym) has almost doubled, improving 84% when I average the improvement in MPH & Calories / Minute across the 20 minute sessions. My week 12 cardio pedaling has totaled 30.7 miles, burning off 963 cardio calories across 100 minutes total in my 5 sessions.
Since July 5th my lifting volume / minute has almost tripled, improving 190% when I add the volume per initial LBWO & UBWO from week 1 & compare it to the volume lifted in this week's final UBWO + LBWO. Another factor I've tracked is time lifting, which has varied wildly but mostly depending on the crowd at the gym. My July lifts took approximately 45 minutes each & this week's lifts have all been right around 50 minutes so it's a pretty fair comparison overall. My week 12 lifts totaled 392,900 LBs when I total the reps * weights for this week's 5 sessions.
Now I know one of the VERY first things I'm going to hear from y'all is, "DUH!!! BfL says 3 weight trainings + 3 cardio sessions weekly totaling less than 200 minutes so you're not following the plan!" & I have to admit you're exactly right. I've found that if I don't hit the gym daily to keep it a ritual I have a horrendous time staying at it but I guess for C2 (WHICH BEGINS OCTOBER 3rd FOR ANYBODY WANTING TO PLAY!) I'm just going to have to find a way. Lately I've been doing 10 minutes of cardio for warm up then lifting (LBWO M-W-F & UBWO Tue-Thur) then pedaling my other 10 minutes for cool down, but my pulse is always between 70%-80% getting back on for the cool down so it's almost like 70 minutes total of HIIT daily including the lifting & pedaling time.
Diet is another thing I still find confounding! Some folks are SO rock solid at it but this is honestly where I struggle the most, IMHO.
I finally got absolutely anal about diet this final week of C1 & tracked EVERYTHING to see where I'm messing it up. Being a 375-ish LB, 74" tall, 45 year old male, who's very active about an hour a day, then flying a desk the rest of the day, everything I can find says I need between 3000-3600 calories for maintenance so I've been shooting for about a 1K daily deficit.
This week I wound up intaking an average of 2236 calories daily, 143 GRs of carbs & 234 GRs of protein. My days ranged up & down about 15% total swing & I've been avoiding carbs after 7PM like the plague so we shall see how the scale behaves this final week but based upon this morning's preview it's nothing great.
I'd greatly appreciate any constructive input you gurus may have since I know BfL has worked wonders for thousands of folks world wide but if "read the book" is the extent of your input, I've already done that & I already realize I need to read it again!
Make sure you ALL chime in by Sunday night to let us know how your challenge panned out! If you're at all interested in giving it anohter shot check out my Q4 post in the "Getting Started" section to crank it up once again after a week of R&R!!!
Roosed -- first off, congratulations on your accomplishments! Even if you had the total transformation you envisioned, you've completed the challenge! That in and of itself is a big accomplishment! Think how many people started off with us, and how few are left. It will be interesting to see how many actually finished. You should feel great about the fact that you did! And this challenge was a learning experience for you -- the next one will be even easier with even better results. :-)
In response to your question about diet... The only advice I can offer you is to cut calories even more. I know that's not an easy thing to do, because you're a big guy and need energy to get through the day. But that's my best guess for seeing the weight loss really start to move, and the scale really start to move. I'm a smaller guy than you -- I'm 5'8", and when I started the challenge I was 197. In the beginning I was probably taking in 1500-1700 calories a day, and when I was really grooving towards the middle of the challenge I was between 1200 and 1500, and many days closer to the 1200 side of things. It sucks -- hard to eat so little, and the mental challenge of it was even tougher than the physical challenge of it. But that's where I was at for most of the challenge. Not saying you need to go to 1200 calories a day, but try to drop yourself under 2000 -- if you can shoot for the 1500 to 2000 range -- and see if that has an effect. I know it won't be easy, but I also know that you can do it!
Of course, please remember that I'm no expert -- i'm just some schmo who did the challenge -- so don't decide to eat so little based on my advice. Talk to your doctor and see what he says. Probably a good idea to ask a doctor before going onto a diet where you eat so little.
As for the time of the workouts, I don't know how big an issue that really is. I have a feeling that the book talks about the short workouts because it's easy to motivate people to go to the gym for a 45 minute workout instead of a 2 hour workout. If you are going above and beyond what he suggests in the book (which I believe you are) I don't think that's a bad thing.
I'll be posting tomorrow with my final results. I just wanted to reply to you and let you know to keep your chin up! You should be proud of what you accomplished! And we have challenge 2 starting soon, and we'll both be accomplishing more! Give yourself a pat on the back!
Iamsteve, other than posting in here is there someplace we're supposed to post our completion results? I did finally find the picture poster page and posted my before & after collage tonight but the site says it may take up to 24 hours to actually appear due to the site moderation.
Well Fivers, here are my final / total C1 results:
-12.0 LBs
-6.0% Body Fat
-16.0" (Bad Inches (Neck, Shoulders, Chest, Waist, Hips))
+2.0" (Good Inches (Upper Arms, Forearms, Thighs, Calves))
84% Cardio Performance Improvement (MPH & Cal/Min Total Average)
190% Lifting Volume Improvement (Pounds / Minute during workouts)
As I mentioned last night, I'm very pleased with the cardio & weight training improvements but certainly didn't attain poster child status for weight loss or body fat reduction BUT at least they're moving in the right direction!
I've posted a Q4 Challenge Kickoff for October 3rd, setting graduation for Christmas morning; in the "Getting Started" section so, as I've said in previous posts, if you want to come along for the adventure…LET'S DO IT!!!
Y'all jump in & post your results & have an OUTSTANDING weekend!!!
CONGRATULATIONS to all who finished!
My official result: LOST 22 POUNDS!!! Not too shabby! I don't have inches or % of body-fat or anything like that to offer up, but my wife says I look really good and she's always wanting to touch me now, so that's a positive. :-)
I still have another 15 lbs that I'd like to lose, so I'm joining Roosed on a second challenge, starting next week.
Anyone else out there finish the challenge? Please post some results and let us know how it went!
Congrats to all of us on what we accomplished. Remember -- it's body for life, not body for 12 weeks, so let's all keep working hard and keep that weight off!
Congrats to everyone still posting/reading this thread. My numbers are less dramatic, but I am happy just the same. I will get the tapemeasure out to see if there are any changes to waist, chest, or stomach.
Although I had to take the last few days off due to a neck strain (finally getting better), I post the following:
Lost 5.6 lbs
reduced BF% 1.8%
6.2 workouts per week
protein @ 1.31 gm/# of LBW
Carbs @157 gm/day <== including days off, so kiss my grits, Ben&Jerry
Reduced simplex carbs by 4% <==including days off
My inspiration (besides you guys) was to be fit for a golf weekend with my college friends (from the 80's). I think I met this objective but still feel I have some room for improvement - especially around the diet, so I will be joining y'all on the 3rd after pigging out this week.
Roos, I agree with Stevo on the calories, but also the mix. I based calorie requirements on lean body mass. Since you have the body fat numbers, you should be able to find your LBM. I shoot for max calories as (1-body fat%) x 15 = calories based on LBM. This gives you a dynamic number based on where you are. Since this is my fourth full challenge, I reviewed my diet. I had the most dramatic changes when I dropped my carbs t 120 and protein was just over 1 gm / lb of LBM which worked out to 148 gm/day with a LBM of 142.5. On the next challenge, I will be targeting these numbers.
Enjoy the week off, reflect on the wins, learn from the challenges, and eat ice cream for breakfast. Life's too short not to celebrate.
See you all on the 3rd and thanks for the support.
Wow great results all of you and bravo for sticking with it!
I fell of about 7 weeks in, but no excuses for me! Joining with my hubby and Roosed on beg on OCT. going shopping to re-BFL my kitchen :))
Hope to see you all in the new thread :)))))))))

Name: Ryan Best
Meet Ryan Best
Name: Ryan Best
Hometown: Elida, NM
Major: Agricultural Education
Tarleton Organizations in which you are involved: Tarleton Collegiate FFA, Refuge College Ministry
- Favorite Professor within your major and why:
My favorite professor within my major is Dr. David Frazier. His genuine passion for his students and what he teaches is contagious. He makes me not only want to be a better teacher in the classroom, but a better person in my walk through life. Dr. Frazier is one of the most caring, humble, and heart-felt individuals I have ever had the privilege of meeting.
- What do like best about living in Stephenville?
To me, Stephenville is a little town, with a big town feel. There are few enough people that I tend to run into the same folks on a regular basis, but with the bigger chain restaurants and stores, it's easily got a big town atmosphere.
- Favorite subject outside your major and why:
My favorite subject outside of my major is Content Area Reading. My professor, Jennifer McGregor, was incredibly engaging! She made me see the importance of constantly valuing my students, their answers, and most importantly each of their unique experiences.
- How do you use or incorporate your experience as National FFA President as a student here at Tarleton?
The National FFA Organization (formerly Future Farmers of America) has always been a big part of my life, and in 2011 I was given the amazing blessing of serving that organization as its National President. This experience allowed me the opportunity to travel around 102,000 miles; visit 36 different states, Puerto Rico, and Japan; interact with, speak to, or come into contact with about 96,000 high school and college age students; and spend a year representing an industry which has served as the backbone of our country—agriculture. This experience was one which drastically affected my life in many ways, one of which was making the decision to transfer to Tarleton State University. Since making that decision, I have been greeted with enthusiasm here. I have used my experiences as National FFA President here at Tarleton to network and meet new people. Tarleton has some of the most friendly instructors and students I have ever met. It was easy to fall in and feel like a part of the Tarleton family.
- Favorite Tarleton Tradition:
My favorite tradition at Tarleton is not walking on the grass. To me, this shows an overwhelming sense of respect for tradition, our campus, and most importantly one another as we each take part in something which embodies school spirit.
- Favorite off-campus place to eat and/or hang out and why:
My favorite off-campus place to eat is Grump's. Those are some of the best burgers I have ever eaten in my life!
- Favorite movie and why:
My favorite movie is hands down John Wayne's "McLintock!" John Wayne is the man, and this movie is one my Granddad and I have enjoyed watching together for many years.
- Tarleton has six core values (tradition, excellence, service, integrity, civility and leadership); would you take one of these and explain what it means to you in your own words?
Service is something which has been intrinsically instilled within my life. We each hold the potential to make others' lives better; it is simply a matter of assessing their needs and acting with love to fill those needs. "He must become greater; I must become less." (John 3:30 NIV) This was his response when John the Baptist was asked to describe his service to Christ. When one considers their own service to others, the philosophy must be similar. We must be willing to give whatever it takes for those around us to become greater. To give of one's self completely in service to another is an amazing testament to the devotion of that person's servant heart. In order to be a true servant, we must make ourselves a servant to everyone in order to gain the confidence, trust, and friendship of those with whom we come into contact. I have never been more sure of something being right than I am of my calling to serve others.

Sun back in the black
Sun will be closing its fiscal year 2007 (ending June 30) with a net profit of US$ 473 m compared to losses of US$ 864 m in the previous year.
Sun's return to positive figures did not start until the second quarter of the 2007 fiscal year, announcing a net profit of US$ 126 m in its quarterly report at the end of October 2006 after sustaining a loss of US$ 56 m in the first quarter. The company has been through a crisis in recent years and responded with mass redundancies.
Annual turnover was by 6.2 percent to US$ 13.9 b compared to last year, where turnover was US$ 13.1 b.
Sun attributes its growth in the past few quarters to Internet and multi-platform server offers, and to increasing acceptance of Solaris. In recent reports Sun has also drawn attention to its virtualization solutions, besides Solaris, which help customers reduce overheads.
An operating margin of four percent sees Sun drawing closer to its self-proclaimed goal of ten percent returns by 2009.

Ice Cream - Tempering the eggs...
Hello all,
I am a Product Design and Technology Student from Northumbria University (Newcastle). I am currently investigating a potential idea for a product which would help busy chefs during the production of ice cream.
A pastry chef from a local restaurant has highlighted a potential gap in the market, for a product which would aid anyone making a custard base for an ice cream. The product would work by tempering the mixture to the correct degree of temperature and constantly stirring / scraping the container.
Since I don�t have much experience with the process I was hoping I could get some feedback on the idea as to whether it would be viable in a commercial restaurant? In your opinion are there any other features which would be integrated into this product? Are there any other areas you might find this product could lend itself to, in the kitchen?
Finally, does anyone currently use a �Thermomix� or similar product to aid the production of ice cream and how effective is it?
Any feedback on the idea would be greatly appreciated; I look forward to hearing back from you.

Haha this is so true!ReplyDelete
Haha this is too funny, and probably true for any type of designer! You best believe that I need my coffee in the morning too :)
Good tips to know :pReplyDelete
hahaha!! Love this! And I totally agree, please do not criticize unless you know Why you don't like something. Chances are there is a reason for why I did it that way! "It just doesn't feel right," is not always a valid answer.
You have just won me over Charlotte, I'm off to visit your blog!
BAHAHA! Too good! I love this, and Charlotte just got a new reader in me!
So Kristen... is this your way of telling me I should be worried about being your friend? ;-)
True story. XDReplyDelete
I love it! So true.ReplyDelete
ha ha ha ha! I love the last one. I work for a design firm as a junior designer, whenever clients come back with any changes on graphics we all sit around and talk about how uneducated they are in the design world. ha ha ha!ReplyDelete
I love it, I'm already becoming like this despite being at the end of only my first year of Graphic Design! Ah caffeine :)
Lovely post.
This is so true!
Want is constructive criticism anyway. If they don't like it they don't like it... (doesn't mean they at right though!)
I'm no graphic designer, but this rings true to many Fashion Merchandisers as well ;)ReplyDelete
I love this girl so much! Haha! So hilarious and so true too! I've worked with a bunch of GD's in the past and they can go really weird at times. Agree on the coffee! I'm so forwarding this post to them. :)ReplyDelete
It must be the same for all creative fields - architecture included!
Lisa xx
Bahahaha. I'm reading this while I have coffee and chocolate for breakfast. Nailed it. ;)ReplyDelete
Hey friends! Thank you for taking time out of your day to keep up with my ramblings :) Although I read every single comment I'm not always able to reply, so if you have any specific questions please feel free to send me an email. Thanks and have a lovely day! xo

An upper level ridge will extend from eastern TX northeast into MO and IL on Saturday with a surface ridge extending from the Great Lakes region southwest into eastern MO. Temperatures will easily warm into the lower to middle 70s on Saturday with full sunshine. Cloud cover should increase late Saturday night into Sunday as weak shortwaves move northeastward through the region ahead of the main mid-upper level trough over the Plains. Low level moisture will also increase as surface/low level flow becomes southerly. Showers and a few thunderstorms should spread into at least the northwestern half of our forecast area, north and west of STL Sunday night as the mid level trough and cold front approaches our area with increasing low-mid level moisture and instability. The best chance of rain for most of our area will occur on Monday as the mid level trough and cold front moves east southeastward through our forecast area. Most of the showers should shift southeast of our forecast area by late Monday night as the cold front also shifts southeast of the region. The GFS model appears colder for Monday night and Tuesday with a relatively deep upper level trough/low moving southeastward through the Great Lakes region with a large surface ridge building southeastward into our area behind the cold front. The ECMWF model is not quite as far south with this upper level trough/low and not quite as cold with its 850 mb temperatures in our area. A warming trend should begin on Wednesday as an upper level ridge moves eastward through the region, and strengthening southerly low level winds bring warmer 850 mb temperatures northeastward into our area. Convection may return as early as Wednesday across northeast MO and west central IL due to relatively strong low-mid level warm air advection ahead of weak shortwaves moving through the upper level ridge. The threat for convection will increase Wednesday night and Thursday, at least over the northwest half of our forecast area, as the upper level ridge shifts east of the region while a deep upper level low moves eastward through the northern Plains, along with continued low-mid level warm air advection ahead of weak sw flow shortwaves moving through our region. The GFS model depicts a band or line of convection moving eastward through our forecast area Thursday night as a surface low moves into the Great Lakes region and drags a trailing cold front through our area.

SOURCE Makai Inc.
SOCHI, Russia, Feb. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Luger Bruno Banani, the Pacific Island nation of Tonga's first and only ever participant in the Winter Olympics will take his first Olympic runs this weekend.
As luge is one of the world's fastest and most dangerous winter sports, one doesn't associate it with the tropical archipelago in the South Pacific, Tonga. How Bruno came to be one of the top lugers in the world is truly an amazing story of athletic and marketing genius.
Bruno's adventure comes out of the unique culture developed by Makai Inc, an independent and top 100 global promotions agency founded in 1995 by Robbie Thain in his bedroom, and now based in the up and coming Silicon Beach neighborhood of El Segundo, California. Known for its guerilla marketing campaigns for top companies as diverse as Intel, Kraft, Toyota, Mattel, and many more and as its unique culture where ideas can bubble up from within, Thain is proud of this campaign as an example of Makai's creativity and moxie.
Thain notes, "The Bruno Banani Olympics campaign is a perfect example of how our culture drives original thinking and resourcefulness. We embrace internal entrepreneurship and project ownership. We are proud that our ethos produces inspirational campaigns globally." He adds, "When we started Makai in Europe in 2006, we wanted to revolutionize advertising and marketing there. We were passionate for guerilla marketing.'Bruno Banani goes Olympic' is typical of our exceptional marketing ideas."
Since Bruno came on the luge scene in 2009 the Bruno Banani brand has garnered countless impressions as he has competed on the world luge circuit and in Olympic qualifiers. The small controversy around the name was on brand and only added to the attention. In 2011, Bruno Banani also released a line of Coconut Powered underwear. Makai has filmed Bruno from the casting call all the way to the Olympics and when the Winter Games 2014 end, a film documenting the entire process will be released in festivals.
In 2008 Makai's office in Liepzig, Germany was asked to attract worldwide attention to the Kingdom of Tonga with very little financial means. Mathias Ihle, founder of Makai Europe GmbH, remembers that "Tonga's princess Salote Mafile'o Pilolevu Tuita always dreamt of her country being represented at the Olympic Winter Games. She loves snow and used to go skiing with her father."
At the same time Makai was looking for a stand out pitch to work with one of Europe's top brands, Bruno Banani GmbH. Their idea was to take an athlete from a tropical island by the name of Bruno Banani to compete in the Winter Olympics, sponsored of course by Bruno Banani.
In November 2008 Fuahea Semi, rugby player and IT student, attended a casting in Tonga. The country's best athlete was sought to represent the country at the Olympic Winter Games.
Semi, 21 years old at the time, had no knowledge of the luge. But he had plenty of talent. All this extraordinary project needed was the financial support of a co-sponsor. Ihle recollects, "At the time Makai in Germany were a young agency, full of unusual ideas. We wanted to work with Bruno Banani, because they were open to remarkable marketing ploys. They once sent their underwear into space! We bravely gave this young man from Tonga a new name, to make it easier to market him and find sponsors. Clearly it worked out!"
Bruno Banani, Tonga's first and only luge racer was born.
Bruno Banani GmbH has supported the luge racer from Tonga since 2009, "When Makai asked us to sponsor Tonga's first ever luge racer named Bruno Banani, we did not hesitate a second. But one thing was very important from the beginning: Bruno is a true athlete. He has managed to make it to the Olympics within five years," says Wolfgang Jassner, founder and CEO of Bruno Banani GmbH.
There is no doubt that Bruno Banani is a serious athlete. Luge Competitors lie supine on a sled and race down an icy ditch at speeds of 140 kilometres or almost 90 miles per hour and more.
"My slogan is 'from naught to sixty!' I love the speed in the luge sled. I forget everything around me, when I go down the track," Bruno Banani says.
But Bruno's slogan not only applies to the sled, but also to his amazing career. All of his competitors have been training for years. But only months after Bruno actually saw and felt snow for the first time ever, he nearly qualified for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. In the last round the exceptionally talented athlete from Tonga crashed and missed qualification by only one point. His coach, former luge racer Isabel Barschinsky, was surprised at Bruno Banani's amazing ability.
Due to Bruno's incredible talent Makai, Bruno Banani GmbH and the country of Tonga decided to support his career over the long term and in the last four years he has continued to aggressively train. He has received support by Norbert Loch, the trainer of the German national luge squad, and German luge champion and three time Olympic gold medalist Georg Hackl.
Bruno Banani's Jassner adds, "We have invested in a highly motivated, very athletic young man who wanted to represent his country for the first time in winter sports. Bruno has the physical composition and the athletic talent. The rest was training. At the beginning of our sponsorship we could not be sure that Bruno Banani would make it to the Winter Olympics. But we were certain that he could achieve greatness."
As one of the top 50 lugers in the world, in December 2013 Bruno Banani qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Clearly his natural athleticism combined with his training paid off.
Thain concludes, "The Bruno Banani Olympics campaign is emblematic of the Makai approach – empowering our global team to create impactful programs that are a win for everyone involved. Here at Sochi, Tonga achieved their Winter Olympic goal, Bruno Banani has a great campaign, and most importantly Bruno Banani, the athlete, lives his dream."

|Sticky Tag:
Automatically select arch and os on FreeBSD, if none given.
Recognize NetBSD defaults.
Merge changes from cross-sol-x86-2010-12-20 which adds support for Solaris/x86. There should be no functional changes for either other x86 ports or for the sparc port.
Support solaris/x86.
o Document the -S option better. o Describe how arch and os are derived if they're not specified on the command line.
build.sh: o Add RCS header make-dist.sh: o Add RCS header o Add some comments on what this does.
Fix a typo.
Be prepared for future Solaris versions when building a distro.
For Solaris, detect which OS version we're building on and choose the default OS name for the tarballs.
Fix issue with installing sources to a directory. This was affecting Solaris.
Update make-dist.sh and make-src-dist.sh so that the source code can installed when -I is given.
Document the use of the GTAR enviroment variable to specify GNU tar if tar is not already GNU tar.
Sync to utf16 branch, tag unicode-utf16-sync-label-2009-03-16.
Sync to CVS HEAD, tag label-2009-03-16. But don't sync Config.FreeBSD_gencgc, Config.x86_freebsd, FreeBSD-os.c, and FreeBSD-os.h. Let Alex sync those later. The result seems to work as expected on Solaris and x86/linux. Darwin (ppc or x86) untested.
make-dist.sh: o /bin/sh doesn't like ${MANDIR:+ -M ${MANDIR}} when calling make-main-dist.sh. So just set MANDIR with the right value. make-main-dist.sh: o Don't call tar with the individual directories. Just tar up everything in the current directory.
Fixed a broken test (unquoted $VAR).
Add -I and -M options: -I) Install CMUCL directly to the given directory, instead of creating a tarball -M) Specify which subdirectory the manpages should go. Default is man/man1. make-dist.sh: make-main-dist.sh: o Recognize and handle -I and -M. make-extra-dist.sh: o Recognize and handle -I.
Merge changes from utf16 branch to update to snapshot 2008-12.
Merge Snapshot 2008-12 to this branch. Some tweaks needed in boot-2008-05-cross-unicode-x86.lisp and the Config files. FreeBSD and Darwin/x86 untested, but Linux and Solaris build ok.
tools/make-dist.sh: o Add -S option to create a source tarball. Call make-src-dist.sh to create the tarball. If "tar" is not GNU tar, set the environment variable GTAR to point to GNU tar. tools/make-src-dist.sh: o Create a tarball of the src directory, removing any CVS directories. This requires GNU tar.
o We now have Darwin on x86 and ppc. Use uname to tell us which. o Change default compression to bzip instead of gzip, since we seem to always suppy bzipped binaries.
Merge code from main branch of 2005-12-17 to ppc gencgc branch. Still doesn't work of course.
Try to figure out default values for the architecture and OS if the user doesn't supply one.
Perform trivial merge from head to unicode-branch.
Give a more complete description of what this does.
Add options to make-dist.sh: -G to select the group to use for the installation -O to select the owner -b for bzip compression -g for gzip compression (the default, if none given)
Initial import of Pierre Mai's build scripts (slightly modified from his 2.4 release).

CASTINE, Maine – Maine Maritime Academy honored twenty-seven individuals associated with the school for their outstanding accomplishments during the annual Celebration of Achievement Thursday, Nov. 8.
This event consisted of several award ceremonies targeted at highlighting the achievements of students, alumni, and faculty members. These ceremonies included the academy's Wall of Honor induction, Scheel and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Scholars presentation, and an Excellence in Teaching Award.
The Wall of Honor was initiated in 1997 to recognize alumni who have achieved a high level of success in the professional and civic communities. The Wall serves not only as a tribute to these individual's accomplishments but is a tool to foster inspiration to current students and alumni to strive for a greater level of personal excellence.
This year's Wall of Honor induction recognized the accomplishments of Kevin Poitras, president of General Dynamics Electric Boat and MMA class of 1973 graduate, and Steven Durrell, president of Irving Shipbuilding Inc. and MMA class of 1984 graduate. Poitras and Durrell joined fifty-seven other distinguished alumni by having their framed picture and biographical sketch permanently displayed on the Wall of Honor in the Kresge Room of the Student Center.
Poitras and Durrel were selected from nominations made by fellow alumni and the public. For a candidate to nominated they must meet these strict criteria requirements: the candidate must be a graduate of Maine Maritime Academy and own, be a president, chief executive officer, or chair of the board of directors of a company; have been elected to the office of mayor, governor, U.S. House of Representatives or Senate; have achieved the rank of flag officer in a branch of the military; or have achieved significant prominence or lifetime achievements in a chosen field.
In addition, advanced education, professional awards and honors, community service, and voluntary service to MMA are also considered for selection. Every year a committee of members of the Wall of Honor carries out the process of selecting new members for the Wall.
Kevin Poitras graduated from Maine Maritime Academy in 1973. His career highlights include thirty-nine years at General Dynamics Electric Boat. He started out as a Nuclear Construction Support Engineer in 1973 before becoming a Steel Trade General Foreman in 1978, Trident and 688 Class Chief Nuclear Test Engineer in 1980, Chief of Engineering SEAWOLF Class Reactor Plant in 1986, Manager at Virginia Class Propulsion Plant in 1993, Program Manager for CVN21 Design Program, Vice President of Engineering and Design Programs, Senior Vice President for Engineering, Design and Business Development, to his current position as President starting this year.
Poitras' other distinguishable services include sitting on the Board of Directors for Enders Island and the Naval Submarine League and on the Executive Oversight Board for the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
Steven Durrell graduated from Maine Maritime Academy in 1984. His career highlights includes being a Ships Engineering Officer at Kent Line Ltd. from 1984 to 1985, Propulsion Systems Engineer at Saint John Shipbuilding Ltd. from 1985 to 1994, Ship Repair Manager at ISI Facilities in Halifax, Nova Scotia from 1995-2003, Vice President of Irving Shipbuilders Inc. from 2003 to 2008, to his current position as President of Irving Shipbuilding and Fleetway Inc. which he has held since 2008.
Durrell's other distinguishable services include the Halifax Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year in 2012, being a member of the Board of Directors for the Canadian Association of Defense and Security Industries, sitting on the Defense Industry Advisory Committee for the Department of National Defense for Canada, serving as the Advising Assistant Deputy Minister (Material) on defense industrial issues, sitting on the Board of Directors for the Canadian Shipbuilders Association, and lead the formation of the ShipsStartHere Partnership.
The academy also recognized Courtney E. Dufour, Nicholas P. LaCombe, Tate E. Wagstaff, Dale A. Thomas, III, Charles D. Spear, Ashley N. Burnett, Diana L. Townsend, Chad M. Mills, Aline H. Spear, and Timothy J. DeStefano as this year's Henry A. Scheel Scholars - the college's highest undergraduate academic honor. It is awarded to these students because they best exemplify intellectual curiosity and academic achievement.
The scholarship is named in honor of the late Henry A. Scheel, a resident of Rockport, Maine and a noted naval architect who expressed his high regard for MMA by leaving funds to permanently endow to outstanding students.
The Academy also recognized James Belmont, Christopher Brawn, Tucker Doane, Angela Fouquette, Zackary Lawrence, Bryce Lynn, Andrew McHenry, Michael McMahon, Benjamin Russell, and Dale Thomas as this year's ABS Scholars. Each recipient will receive a $10,000 scholarship in the final two years of their academic career at MMA and provided the opportunity to complete an internship at ABS.
The scholarship was created to award deserving engineering and naval architecture students at colleges and universities that are recognized as national or international leaders in maritime technical education and research. The candidates for the scholarship were selected from those students enrolled in the college's five-year marine systems engineering program by a committee of MMA engineering faculty and administrators based on their overall grade point average, classroom and academic leadership, and their intellectual curiosity and growth.
MMA also presented the seventh annual Excellence in Teaching Award to Barbara Fleck. The award is the school's highest achievement award for faculty members and designates a member of the faculty who best exemplifies proficiency in their field of expertise and passion for teaching and student learning. Fleck was nominated by students in the Academy's three upper classes and the last five years of alumni and chosen by a committee of Emeriti Professors.
Fleck has taught in the engineering department at MMA since 1994. She teaches courses in many areas including thermodynamics, engineering design, statics and dynamics, and recently developed an elective in renewable energy technology. She has also been involved in research projects including the design and testing of a model floating offshore wind turbine and recently completed a ten-day course in Costa Rica on solar electricity system design and installation for the developing world.
With sixty-six companies from around the country, Maine Maritime hosted its largest career fair to date Thursday afternoon in the Alexander Field House. At least 500 of the school's 900 students attended the event which showcased a variety of employers that were suitable for every major the academy offers.
"Our company representatives were very pleased with the turn-out yesterday, the quality of our students, and the opportunity to return to our campus," said Amy Gutow, organizer for this year's event. "For some companies, this is the only career fair they choose to attend."
Many of the recruiters were MMA alumni themselves and were eager to return to their alma mater because they knew first-hand the excellent experience, knowledge, and work ethic that are the result of an MMA education.
"Maine Maritime has the unique ability of giving people the technical background with the hands-on experience and an unparalleled work ethic," said Jason Fournier, a recruiter from NAES and 2001 graduate. "There's no other school that graduates people, that I have ever experienced, that have the unfathomable ability to work relentlessly and appreciate everything their employer provides to them."
"The maritime academy grads are overwhelmingly some of most the plentiful and best – from a technical perspective, a work ethic perspective, and an easy-to-manage perspective," said Chad Eslin, a recruiter from Power Industry Consultants and a 2000 MMA graduate. "That's not a sale's pitch, that's a reality. Whether you're in Oklahoma or West Africa or South East Asia, these young men and women will go anywhere in the world you ask them to go."
It wasn't just seniors or graduate students at the fair, students from every class were present to get an idea of what kind of opportunities await them in the near future.
I'm here to prepare for cadet shipping and get my name and e-mail out there, said Mike Sawyer, a freshman. I've been told that even with just the first handshake [the recruiters] will remember us next year.
One change to this year's event the recruiters enjoyed was the relocation of lunch services from the mess deck to the field house. According to Steve Reynolds, a recruiter from NAVSEA Norfolk Ship Support, the change of location gave him the chance to sit down with students in a more relaxed atmosphere and talk about their goals and what his company can do to help them reach them.
Maine Maritime Academy has a strong history of military involvement. The first MMA class reported on October 9, 1941 to World War I naval veteran, Rear Admiral Douglas Dismukes. During World War II, quality U.S. Merchant Marines, deck, and engineering officers were in high demand. MMA gladly accepted and met the challenge by graduating 384 men who served in every theater of operation in the Second Great War.
Although Maine Maritime is not directly affiliated with any branch of the military, and attendance to the school does not require any previous or future military service, the academy is proud of the men and women of the armed forces who have "hung up their boots" as they say and have come to MMA to start or continue their higher education.
"The decision to leave the Army and come to MMA was difficult as I really enjoyed my service and loved my job," said John Pooler, an eight year Army veteran and a freshman in the Marine Engineering Operations program. "In the end MMA will allow me and my wife, of seven years, Nicole to finally start our family and provide us with the financial and job security we want without having to leave for years at a time."
"I knew I was going to be leaving the Navy after my first enlistment, and that I wanted to use the G.I. Bill," said David Chandler, a five-year active duty veteran and New Orleans native. "I eventually decided on going to a maritime academy, but when I started looking more closely at them I decided that I did not want to participate in a regimented lifestyle. MMA's [Vessel Operation and Technology] program is unique, and I thought it best suited me."
Since 1944 the G.I. Bill has helped service members attend school for little to no money out of their pocket, a great initiative for people to join the military that have the dream of going to college but cannot afford it. However, for many of the veterans here on campus, the military has given them more to use here than just financial aid.
"My military career has taught me a lot about work ethic and time management, which have helped me greatly though my first semester," said John Spring, a seven-year Marine Corps veteran from Windham.
Of course, not everyone who has served and is attending MMA has left the service. Some, like Maj. Anthony Miller, a native of Orlando, is attending the academy after spending sixteen years on active duty and is now serving in the Army Reserve.
Miller said he came to MMA because it is one of the few maritime academies that offer a graduate program and it has the most picturesque campus.
With the strong military history of the school and the surrounding community, Veteran's Day is more than just a day off from work and class. For many, it is a time to reflect on departed friends and the memories they made together.
"Veteran's Day represents a day to reflect on my fallen friends, and to help share their stories with those who might not be aware of the sacrifices made," said Joshua Hale, a five-year Marine Corps veteran from Limington majoring in Marine Transportation Operations.
"[Veteran's Day] reminds me of all the close friends I made," said Chandler, a former sonar technician on a submarine. "The extreme close quarters on the sub forces you to make some pretty close bonds. The hardships we endured together and the adventures we had created a sense of camaraderie that cannot be recreated."
Maine Maritime has grown, changed, and come a long way in its seventy-one year history, but its support for veterans both with enrollment and job opportunities will always be a mark of pride for the academy.
Recently, the school's athletics department raised money to donate to the Wounded Warrior Project at the last home football game of the season. Maine Maritime has also scheduled a Veteran's Day ceremony on November 9th on the front lawn of Leavitt Hall at 11:00. Everyone from the community is invited to join the ceremony.
The William J. Mottola Athletics Hall of Fame at Maine Maritime will introduce the 2012 class of inductees at a ceremony September 29 in the Delano Auditorium. This year's inductees include football alumni Steve Tardif, from the graduating class of 2000, and women's basketball alumni Alyssa Burns, Michelle Gott, and Julia Knights, all from the graduating class of 2007.
Tardif had an extremely successful football career at the academy. He still holds fourteen records at the school including most career rushing yards (6,099), most rushing yards in a single game (352), and most career all-purpose yards (7,968). He has also been honored as a two-time Hewlett-Packard All American and four-time first team All-New England Football Conference selection.
"Football had always been part of my life from a young man," said Tardif. "MMA gave me the opportunity to get a great education along with being able to continue to play football at the college level."
Since graduating from MMA, Tardif has traveled the world working as a Lead Field Engineer for General Electric. During his travels he met his wife in Russia and currently lives with her and her daughter in Saco, Maine.
"Being honored as one of the great football players at MMA along with all the other inductees would only cap my great experience at MMA," said Tardif.
Michelle Gott, Julia Knights, and Alyssa Burns were teammates on the Mariner's Women's Basketball team, coached by Craig Dagan.
"It was honestly a great honor," said Dagan, "you couldn't ask for three better women to coach."
"They helped transcend women's sports around here," Dagan added, "they helped bring women's basketball in to the lime light… they made it cool to be a woman at MMA."
Michelle Miles (Gott) is the owner of sixteen MMA women's basketball records. She is the program's all-time points leader (1,600) and holds most of the program's three-point records. Miles was named to the North Atlantic Conference first team three times and the seconds team once. She went to the NAC All-Tournament three times and was voted the tournament's Most Valuable Player once.
"Shelly's tough," said Dagan, MMA's Woman's Basketball Coach, "she was our enforcer. She was tough; no one messed with her on the court."
Since graduation, Miles has worked for her family owned business, Gott's Disposal, is a real estate broker for Margo Stanley Real Estate and owns Miles Motorsports and Miles Lawn Care with her husband Ricky. She has two children, Cooper and Bentley.
Miles attributes much of her success since leaving MMA to her coaches and teammates.
"The coaches and the other players in the program definitely helped make me who I am today," said Miles, "we had a great group of people when I played and I couldn't have asked for anything more."
"They were all very supportive in my personal life, school life and basketball life we all spent a lot of time together in four years between traveling, classes, practices and extras it would be hard not to take something away with that I learned a lot from all of them, they helped me be a better listener, team mate, friend and an overall better person," Miles added.
Burns' achievements include being crowned three times as the NAC "Player of the year" and was named to the NAC first team three times, Maine Woman's Basketball Coaches Association second team All-State twice, MWBCA first team All-State once and as a senior was named a WBCA Honorable Mention All American. She stills holds ten Mariner records.
"Alyssa was quiet," said Dagan, "she didn't say much but when the lights came on no one worked harder."
Knights was an extremely successful player for the Mariners. She is the only player for MMA to have ever scored more than 1,000 points and have more than 1,000 rebounds. Her freshman year she was named the NAC "co-Player of the Year." She was selected for the NAC first team three times, the second team once, the MWBCA second team All-State, and was a member of the NAC All-Tournament team four times.
"Julia was our glue, our emotional leader," said Dagan.
When asked about how Gott, Knights, and Burns worked together as a team, coach Dagan complimented their unselfishness and compared them to the likes of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen; "They were our big three."
The induction ceremony for the four alumni is scheduled to be held during homecoming activities in Delano Auditorium at 10:30.

Frightened Rabbit
Initially a solo project for vocalist and guitarist Scott Hutchison, Frightened Rabbit's first studio album, Sing the Greys, was recorded as a duo by Hutchison and his brother Grant, and released on independent label, Hits the Fan, in 2006. The band subsequently signed to Fat Cat Records, in 2007, and became a three-piece with the addition of guitarist Billy Kennedy for its second studio album, The Midnight Organ Fight. The album was released to widespread critical acclaim and extensive touring, with guitarist and keyboardist Andy Monaghan joining the band to flesh-out its live performances.
The band's third studio album, The Winter of Mixed Drinks, was released in 2010, with former Make Model guitarist Gordon Skene joining the band for its accompanying performances. Frightened Rabbit signed to Atlantic Records later that year, and issued two EPs, A Frightened Rabbit EP and State Hospital, before the release of its fourth studio album, Pedestrian Verse in 2013. A critical and commercial success in the UK, the album peaked at number nine on the UK Albums Chart.

Eating & Exercising Right with Diabetes
Living with Diabetes
Managing Diabetes When You're Ill
The Highs and Lows of Blood Glucose
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a condition that affects the body's endocrine system. With diabetes, your pancreas either stops or produces too little insulin, a hormone needed by your body to use the glucose (sugar) in your blood effectively for energy. Diabetes can also occur when the cells in your body become resistant to your pancreas' insulin. Without sufficient insulin, your blood glucose levels will escalate, giving rise to long-term health problems if left untreated.
Types of Diabetes
There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. A third type called gestational diabetes can sometimes develop in pregnant women. Caused differently, each type of diabetes requires a different treatment. The symptoms however are very similar regardless of type. These include:
· Constantly feeling dehydrated and excessively thirsty.
· Needing to make frequent visits to the toilet.
· Sudden weight loss.
· Itching in the genital area or frequent episodes of thrush.
· Very slow or delayed healing on cuts and wounds.
· Recurrent infections, such as boils.
Type 1 Diabetes
· Occurs when the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas are damaged.
· Usually affects younger people, although it can occur at any age and develop very quickly over a short span of time.
· Condition must be controlled with insulin injections, which are balanced against your blood glucose levels.
Type 2 Diabetes
· Occurs when your body cells are resistant to insulin and/or if your pancreas is not producing enough insulin.
· Can be easily missed as it develops slowly and gradually over a long period of time.
· Usually occurs among those 45 years of age and older, but is increasingly being seen in young adults and even in children. Risks are also higher among those who are overweight or obese, with high blood pressure or abnormal cholesterol levels, and lead a fairly inactive lifestyle.
· Generally runs in families and particularly prevalent among certain ethnic groups.
· Can sometimes be treated and controlled with diet and exercise.
Gestational Diabetes
· Develops in some women late into their pregnancy. Usually disappears after the baby is born, but patients have a 20% to 50% chance of developing Type 2 diabetes within 5 to 10 years. This risk can be reduced by maintaining a healthy body weight and adopting an active lifestyle.
· Caused by pregnancy hormones or insulin shortage. Patients may not experience any symptoms.
· More prevalent in some ethnic groups and among women with a family history of diabetes.

Experts say most people with diabetes should try to keep their blood glucose level as close as possible to the level of someone who doesn't have diabetes. The closer to normal your blood glucose is, the lower your chances are of developing serious health problems.
Your health care team will help you learn how to reach your target blood glucose range. Your main health care providers are your doctor, nurse, diabetes educator, and dietitian.

Douglas Hannant - Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2008
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) A purveyor of fine living, Douglas Hannant's designs are made for an elegant, modern woman. His spring collection showed that Hannant knows how to design dresses that are classic but young and colorful at the same time. Some of the them came in more neutral, restrained colors, like white taffeta and lace matched with oversized white hats. These outfits were made for a refined gamine, an Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's on her summer vacation. Out of the white pieces, the wide-legged pants matched with a white long-sleeved shirt with a big bow was the strongest, most striking look. Hannant was at his best with color and loose-fitting shapes, like the blue satin and flower prints which he used to craft long, gorgeous satin and chiffon dresses, or knee-length day pieces.
