Thanks for the clear post.
I suspect it is simply that in this context 'Today' is defined as 'within the last 24 hours', and 'This week' and 'This month' similarly.
Personally I think of the figures in the block as general highlighters to how active a site is.

Is what you are saying is that the SIDE_STATS block data is compiled as an average over a certain period of time such as below?
o Users online: (at any one time averaged over the last 24 hrs?)
o Hits today: (averaged over the last 24 hrs?)
o Hits this week: (averaged over the last 7 days?)
o Hits this month: (averaged over the last 30 days?)
…and in the case of the SIDE_USERS_ONLINE block, it is showing the actual number of guests/members online now.
I certainly agree that this is like a snapshot of the misc 'traffic' on a site, and it is a really cool tool with lots of options. I was just confused as to how some of the numbers could be different from others that I supposed were mirroring the same type of data. Then I was more confused when I saw some of the numbers running backwards.
Perhaps because I have recently moved this block's location to be near the SIDE_USERS_ONLINE block that I even noticed the difference.
If the numbers are averaged then I can see how they would fluctuate as shown in the examples.
I wouldn't use the word 'average' as it's simply a sum of all the hits going back 24 hours (60*60*24 seconds) from the point the page is being viewed. Actually to be honest it might not be quite that simple, there is likely caching involved so it is probably a snapshot that is updated on a rolling basis depending on how long the cache takes to expire.
I certainly appreciate the term 'today' is confusing, as it's not strictly true. It's kind of artistic license, as saying 'in the last 24 hours, calculated on a rolling basis' does not fit so well .

So much has happened in the last few days regarding adoption finances. As mentioned in a previous post, our agency was requiring us to pay $9500 before they would send our dossier to Ghana. We have been desperately trying to raise this money to get our process moving again. A couple days ago I emailed our agency letting them know we would be sending $6000 this week and asking if that was enough to get our dossier sent. Later that same day a dear friend (and adoptive mama) called me with an offer. After talking to her husband they decided to loan us the rest of the money to get our dossier in the mail! I was shocked and in tears. Normally we would not consider taking a loan from friends but at this point we were just so desperate to get things moving and get our babies home. Now, I mentioned there was a small contingency. They needed to sell their mini van first. Once that happened they would send the money to our agency. Praise God, He moved that mountain! But wait, there is more....
Yesterday I received an email back from our agency. They were willing to accept the $6000 and send off our dossier. Another concern we had was that the rest of our fees, equaling $14,000, were going to be due before the first trip. YIKES! Once again, God had this the whole time. We were told that those fees wouldn't be due until the last trip. WHEW! A huge burden has been lifted. (Needless to say, we will not be taking a loan from our friends but we are very grateful to them for the offer!)
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22
Now we can focus on getting the money for travel, which will happen approximately 2-3 months after our dossier is sent. For this first trip I am estimating we will need about $6000. This covers round trip flights from Turkey (planning to get there free via space a flights with the military), hotels in Ghana, food, transportation, visa fees for the kids, and spending money. Our goal is to have $10,000 by the time we travel. $6000 for us and the rest towards agency fees. So, how can you help? Well, over the next few months we will have a couple things going on. We will continue to promote our puzzle fundraiser and would greatly appreciate it if you would share it with others as well. In November I will be hosting another Thirty One party and my consultant has, once again, offered to give all profit to our adoption fund. Most importantly, as cliche as this may sound, we need and covet your prayers!
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us. 1 John 5:14

Things sure have changed for gold investors in 2014.
This year, the yellow metal is up 8% versus a slightly down stock market as investors fled to the yellow metal on global market fears. While the Fed's plan to taper its bond-buying stimulus would be considered a reason to sell gold, worries overseas trumped any decelerated inflationary expectations.
That's a far cry from last year. Investing in gold at the start of 2013 meant you not only missed a phenomenal bull market, you also got crushed. The equity benchmark S&P 500 index was up 29% in 2013 while gold was down nearly 28%.
But, will the reversal of fortunes last?
(Watch: 'Probably too late' to buy US stocks: Marc Faber)
According to Steven Pytlar, Chief Equity Strategist at Prime Executions, there's a limit to how much higher gold can get based on the technicals.
"I wouldn't say that the charts are telling us a bull run could be sustained," says Pytlar.
Two major levels Pytlar is watching are $1,365 per ounce and $1,420 per ounce, where he expects a lot of selling if that level gets reached. However, in the near-term, he can see gold work its way to those levels because the price is currently above its 10-day moving average.
"It can move up a little bit higher in the near-term just because the relationship with the 10-day moving average has changed," says Pytlar. "On a technical basis, we saw over the last half of 2013 the price of gold was in major decline. Every time it touched the 10-day moving average, it would fall. There was just constant selling."
That changed with the start of the new year. "We started to see buyers coming in on tests of the 10-day moving average and prices moved higher," says Pytlar.
However, gold investors hoping this will continue will be disappointed, according to Pytlar.
"The longer-term trends are still quite negative," says Pytlar. "Expect gold to rollover once again once it reaches those resistance levels."
(Read: Gold falls back after rally, still within view of 3-1/2 month peak)
John Stephenson, portfolio manager at First Asset Investment Management and author of "The Little Book of Commodity Investing", agrees with Pytlar's long-term negative view.
"Gold is going down," says Stephenson. "There's no question about in my mind."
While Stephenson notes the People's Bank of China purchased over 622 tons of gold last year, assets under management for gold exchange-traded funds were down.
"Long-term retail buyers are abandoning the gold story," says Stephenson. "Inflation is non-existent. [If] you pull up a chart of M3 (a measure of money supply), the monetary basis really hasn't expanded all that much in the US. So, you're not looking at currency debasement, which is another argument."
"It offers no yield," says Stephenson. "There's a huge opportunity cost for sitting on a gold position. Even if you don't get any growth at all in earnings on the S&P [500], you've got a dividend yield and buybacks [that] account for roughly 4.4% return this year. So, that's your base case when you compare it to gold. And, I think gold, unfortunately, doesn't stack up."
To see the rest of the discussion on gold with Pytlar on the technicals and Stephenson on the fundamentals, watch the video above.

Thanks to the internet and the speed of communication, the world has truly become a globalized society on many levels. People from half a world away can become business partners. Families can speak to each other on Christmas Day over video chat and watch their grandkids open up presents. It's a remarkable phenomenon that looks to continue increasing in many additional areas of life. Is globalization a good thing? Here are some pros and cons to think about.
What Are the Pros of Globalization?
1. It allows cultures to get to know one another.
People tend to fear things that they don't know. When a different culture is foreign to someone, that person will tend to discriminate against it because they fear it. Globalization brings all cultures together so that everyone can learn from each other, removing fear from the equation.
2. It opens up innovation.
Many of the inventions that have come to be in the last 200 years were developed simultaneously in different parts of the world without inventors knowing about each other. Globalization allows for more information to flow freely so that inventors on a similar path can collaborate instead of compete, enhancing development in every field.
3. It creates a system of open borders.
Many in the industrialized world don't realize how difficult it can be to live in developing countries. Most of the world lives on less than USD $2 per day. In comparison, some people can earn that amount of money in just 2 minutes of work. Globalization draws each group closer together so that real help and hope can be achieved.
What Are the Cons of Globalization?
1. It creates a loss of identity.
Although we are all the human race, many people associate themselves with a particular nationality, ethnicity, or other identifier. A globalized society would eliminate many of these identifiers, which would results in an overall lack of identity being seen in certain population demographics.
2. It creates the potential for absolute power.
When societies globalize and nations merge together, it sets up the possibility of one person becoming a ruler over everything on the planet. Not many people have had absolute power and for good reason – it corrupts absolutely.
3. It emphasizes wealth gaps.
Globalization may shine a light on those who are hurting, but it also shines a light on those who are rich. Having wealth gaps emphasized will invariably lead to new class systems that will work in their natural way to suppress some groups while enhancing the opportunities for other groups.
Globalization is bringing the world together and that's a good thing in many ways. There may be some disadvantages to the idea of globalization to consider as well, so evaluating the pros and cons of the subject is important. In doing so, we can make sure our identities stay safe while we grow stronger from the diversity that humanity has to offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Doesn't Adobe Support 32-Bit Operating Systems Any More?
Adobe realise that performance is critical and, from a technology perspective, know that only 64-bit operating systems can deliver the power video professionals require. By focusing on 64-bit operating systems and native 64-bit support for After Effects, Adobe offer superior performance and large-project stability.
Don't I Need a Node-Based Compositing Tool for High-End Visual Effects Work?
After Effects already offers the flexibility of node-based tools--often at a fraction of the cost. You can pre-compose elements into their own composition module and use track mattes, stencil and silhouette alpha modes that apply to multiple layers, a vast number of plug-in effects, and a powerful Expressions language to create dynamic relationships between parameters.
Can After Effects Deliver the Performance that Professionals Require?
After Effects offers native 64-bit operating system support for optimal performance and the ability to use all the RAM that your operating system allows. With Global Performance Cache, OpenGL acceleration, RAM and disk caching, and multiprocessor and multicore support--including the ability to render multiple frames in parallel--After Effects can deliver the performance you need.

The people or the party

Mike Richards
South Jordan, Utah
Further, I don't think that any court inside or outside of Utah would allow Democrats and Independant voters to decide which candidate represents the Republican Party in the General Election. Each Party is allowed to choose its own candidates without input from the other political parties.
3:26 a.m. Feb. 28, 2014
OK Mike,
I'm now "Offically" a registured Republican.
Just like you.
I did it for 3 reasons.
1. So that I can actually have some say-so.
2. So guys like you can't dictate to the rest of us.
3. I can now follow our Church leaders admonishment to attend a caucus.
There, are you happy now?

All you unaffiliated people need to stop being so wishy washy and pick a side. Your either going to be governed by the democrats or the republicans.

Ogden, UT
Mark, instead of being wish-washy you could do what I do. Visit your county clerk's office, hold your nose, register as a Republican for a couple of weeks, attend caucuses, and then make another trip to the courthouse so you can change registration back to Unaffiliated.
But an open primary would be a whole lot easier.
8:38 a.m. Feb. 28, 2014
Thanks for the tip one old man,
I did it.
I held my nose and went on-line and registered as a Republican.
Afterwards, I will re-registrure as Unaffiliated.

I don't understand why the uninvolved, apathetic and uninformed electorate want to hijack the party nominating process . . . unless it is intended as a strategy for weakening the dominant party in Utah.
Eliminating our long-standing caucus/convention nominating process will surrender the power of the people to power-brokers and expensive media sound-bytes. The wealthy and big-money special interests who can afford to broadcast meaningless slogans and plant name recognition in the minds of lazy voters will "sway the masses" to the detriment of Utah's interests.

re: Mark l
What works for sodas doesn't necessarily work for politics.
We need a multiple parties. Israel has too many & the 3 in the UK don't cut it. 5 seems like a reasonable number.
high school fan Huntington, UTMarch 2, 2014 6:14 a.m.
Sorry LDS Liberal but the Constitution backs the parties and not your point if view. The Constitution gives you the right to vote but not the right to decide who represents the Parties of this state. That right belongs to the parties. Don't confuse the issues.
high school fan Huntington, UTMarch 2, 2014 6:10 a.m.
If you talk Constitutional, then neither the Senate bill or Count My Vote are legal. The State cannot tell private entities, the a Republican and Democrat parties, how to conduct their business. There is a reason that an R or a D is besides their names. If you don't like to play the game, then run as an independent.

Dis-enfranchisement? Let's discuss Dis-enfranchisement.
If they can't even spend two hours at a caucus meeting, why should their input count?
Why should the men and women serving this country in uniform have their input count?
Why should Police, Fire, Doctors, and Nurse have their input count?
Why should LDS Missionaries through out the world have their input count?
Because you have all the answers.
"If they can't even spend two hours at a caucus meeting, why should their input count?"
Thanks for trampling their Constitutional rights.
L White Springville, UTFeb. 28, 2014 6:42 p.m.
Polls? Let's discuss polls. How any of those polled were registered Republicans? You would think that only registered Republicans should be asked questions on how to pick candidates to run on the Republican Party. Then, how many of those polled attended the last caucus meeting? If they can't even spend two hours at a caucus meeting, why should their input count? If they attended their caucus meeting, did they vote in the last primary? That really narrows the field, don't you think?
I have all kinds of opinions about who the Democrats should run, but noDemocrat would ever ask me. I would never respect the opinion of anyone who is too busy to go to a caucus meeting or who 'forgot' what date the primary was held. That eliminates 94% of the 'voters' who think that being a citizen is too big a responsibility, but they still think that they have the right to change our country from a Democratic Republic to some that is more to their liking.
2 bit Cottonwood Heights, UTFeb. 28, 2014 4:34 p.m.
If you ask someone if they want their vote to count... what do you THINK they're going to say?
That's a silly poll question.
You vote counts in either system.
D4inSLC SALT LAKE CITY, UTFeb. 28, 2014 4:25 p.m.
MIke and 2bits,
While you are reading the polls, you may also want to delve into the BYU professor's dialogue debunking Mr. Mero's (Sutherland Institute) assertion regarding the anti-caucus folks. I think the quote is - "irresponsible citizenship; irresponsible meaning single-issue voters, special-interest parasites, and uninformed citizens who think and vote based on selfish emotions."
Wow! Just one man's opinion, but I think he defined the Eagle forum and far right perfectly.
D4inSLC SALT LAKE CITY, UTFeb. 28, 2014 4:02 p.m.
@MIke R
Try reading the Dan Jones poll of January 2014. I think it showed 65% want to change the system. Also, the BYU Center for the Study of Election and Democracy conducted a poll in November of 2013 and got similar numbers - 65% want their vote to count.
Finally, its not changing the form of government. Its simply changing the way we choose who represents us.
UtahBlueDevil Durham, NCFeb. 28, 2014 2:30 p.m.
After a while, most organizations grow from being about a cause or issue to being about self preservation. This applies to most if not all even charitable organizations. We in this state have "franchised" Goodwill Foundation stores where the local "owner" and his wife have incomes from their charity franchise of over $600,000 a year. The same can be said about the NRA, to the Sierra Club. The both create crises of their own making to justify donations to support the organizations themselves, and less so for the causes they were established to help.
The political parties are much this way now too. They are less about doing what is right for America, but rather that survival or the party itself. Keeping big dollar donors happy has become paramount. The current system is designed to keep influence focused down to the few, and shielding the representatives from the whims of the voting public. The parties are about protecting the party - not what is good for Utah.
2 bits Cottonwood Heights, UTFeb. 28, 2014 2:12 p.m.
WHAT survey??
Utefan60 Salt Lake City, UTFeb. 28, 2014 1:51 p.m.
The majority of Utah voters are upset with the caucus system. Poll after poll indicates that.
Mike Richard will have us believe that we will lose our Republic if we give up the caucus's...really Mike? Little dramatic don't you think?
Other states do not have the caucus system and they seem to do well.
I think the Eagle Forum, Sutherland Institute and others have lost their power over the voters and people of Utah. The new generation doesn't hold to their way of thinking and frankly it's a very good thing. Time that those groups stop controlling the election process.
2 bits Cottonwood Heights, UTFeb. 28, 2014 1:13 p.m.
What survey are you talking about that shows that Utahns want to do away with the current system?
I want to see who conducted that survey (IF it exists)
And if we are going to let surveys (whoever conducts them) tell us what we want... why not just do away with elections all together and let the surveys tell us who we want to represent us? If you trust surveys totally.
LDS Liberal,
If you want to vote in the Republican Primary so bad... the LEAST you can do is register (so they can send you some party info, and ask for money). I'm an independent and I do it. It's easy to just ignore their email.
I don't care if we get rid of the convention, but we should keep the party primaries the way they are (IMO). We don't need the left deciding who the Republican nominee will be.
If you want to vote in the REPUBLICAN party primary... you should at least be willing to register.

Count my vote is not a grass roots movement. It was created by a few wealthy investors who don't like the Tea Party. They seek to have only moderate to liberal candidates for Utahns to vote on.
Our current system allows a wide variety of candidates to be on the final ballot, where they can present diverse ideas to the public, for them to vote on. I value that. I hope the vast majority of Utahns also value that.
Count my vote wants you to have the choice of Huntsman or Matheson, and no one else. No Mike Lee, no Jason Chaffetz, no Rob Bishop, no Chris Stewart.
You can see why all the liberal posters here are for count my vote. It allows a minority of Utahn's to control the majority.

Mark, instead of being wish-washy you could do what I do. Visit your county clerk's office, hold your nose, register as a Republican for a couple of weeks, attend caucuses, and then make another trip to the courthouse so you can change registration back to Unaffiliated.
But an open primary would be a whole lot easier.

Thanks too --
I think I will do this --
I will need to repent, and shower over and over again for weeks.

Bravo! Well said. Hopefully our legislators are listening to the people on this one. If not, we shall vote them out of office beginning at the caucus level until we can change it for good this November.
FT salt lake city, UTFeb. 28, 2014 10:41 a.m.
Let the people decide, directly with a vote and not thru somebody chosen by a few people in someone's private residence.
m.g. scott clearfield, UTFeb. 28, 2014 9:39 a.m.
I will plead relative ignorance on this particular issue, as I haven't really paid that much attention to it. The only thing I will say is that if this is a move being made by the minority in Utah, namely Democrats and Independents to stifle the Republican Partys hold and dominance in Utah, then I'am against it. So many other states are completely dominated by the Democrat Party, like California where I came from, that I think it is good for the Republicans to hold a state where they dominate. However, if it is merely a move being made by Utahans to get different Republican candidates, then you don't need laws passed by the legislature, you need votes. Simple as that. Get out the vote. That's how Obama won the Iowa caucus over Clinton who was supposed to win there according to the polls.

Re: "America is not a direct Democracy. It is a Democratic Republic."
And if the candidates are chosen by primaries instead of caucuses we will still be a republic, we will still have a representative form of government.
The fact that we elect people to represent us in the government in no way implies or requires that we must choose representatives to choose the representatives to choose the representatives to choose the candidates for public office, instead of simply choosing the candidates ourselves in a primary election. It is not one of the requirements of a republic that there be layer after layer after layer of representatives until you finally get down to the actual voters. There is nothing anti-republican in eliminating the caucus-middlemen and having the voters select the candidates for public office themselves in primary elections, just as they elect their representatives in Congress themselves in congressional elections.
J Thompson SPRINGVILLE, UTFeb. 28, 2014 8:52 a.m.
As published in the Salt Lake Tribune, February 28. 2014:
"These precinct caucus meetings are a grass-roots level of political involvement in Utah and are best served by a broad representation of Utah citizens," The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' governing First Presidency writes in a letter to be read over Mormon pulpits across the state. "Those who attend play a critical role in selecting candidates for public office."

The LDS General Authorities have encouraged all of us to participate in the Elections.
How can we do that when MOST of us are NON-card carrying Lemmings -- i.e., Independent & Un-affiliated voters?
We can't.
The system is broken.
Those of us who disenfranchised vote for PERSON, and Never EVER for the Party.
Something needs to change.

"I encourage all Utah voters to let the Legislature know who the people believe should control the political process in Utah by signing the Count My Vote Utah initiative petition."
And by voting out all the supporters of SB54.
Utefan60 Salt Lake City, UTFeb. 28, 2014 7:00 a.m.
Well said. That is exactly what our legislators who are trying to hold on to their power need to hear!
Furry1993 Ogden, UTFeb. 28, 2014 5:32 a.m.
I agree with Harry Puckett. The people, not the party, should choose how the candidates for the general election are chosen. People matter a LOT more than party. Especially in a de facto one-party sate like Utah, the people should be able to vote to select the candidates as soon as possible, and all of the people should be able to choose in the final candidate for any party. That is why I support Count My Vote, and urge everyone to support it. Let the people choose, not the party.
Mike Richards South Jordan, UtahFeb. 28, 2014 3:26 a.m.
It is a total affront to me to see so many misrepresentations in a letter to the editor. Which surveys say "a majority" of citizens want to give up a Democratic Republlic form of government? I'm not familiar with any survey that has asked that question. That is the only pertinent question that applies when Count My Vote is trying to change our Democratic Republic into a direct Democrary. America is not a direct Democracy. It is a Democratic Republic.
Further, I don't think that any court inside or outside of Utah would allow Democrats and Independant voters to decide which candidate represents the Republican Party in the General Election. Each Party is allowed to choose its own candidates without input from the other political parties.

ADV Films discussion thread
According to ANN, ADV has pulled from their main site all of their current titles including
Pumpkin Scissors
Gurren Langan (NOOOOO)
Sgt Frog (Which hasn't been released like GL)
This doesn't look good.
Edit by Moderator: This is a bit misleading. You should read the whole article:
If Gurren Lagann disppears, then so will one of the directors of the company. >=D
But seriously, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..... T_T
Yeah, seriously, wtf is up with that? I was REALLY looking forwards to buying the Gurren Lagann DVDs and the Pumpkin Scissors DVDs.
and why did Geneon dissapear? I never really heard much on the reasons.
Well, looking at the situation with Geneon and what is going on with ADV, it is almost the same, that is one of the reason I think that Geneon was trying to make a deal with ADV, because both of them was hurting and now that Geneon is now gone, ADV might be next. I was reading the ANN fourms (even know that I dont see eye to eye with almost everybody on there) and they are freaking out about that, even that sale that RightStuf is having right now, and ADV pulling alot of titles, it is follow that path.
The pulling titles is a bit worrying though. I was looking forward to Kanon...
Of course I'm sure there's plenty of, "Zomg fansubs killed the industry!" comments there, as opposed to the real issue of anime companies, and entertainment companies in general, failing to adapt quickly enough to the demands of the market.
This is a bit misleading. You should read the whole article:
Yeah, that news bit is misleading, but pretty much every industry expert is on alert as of late. John Oppliger predicts at least two licencing companies will fold till the end of this year, FUNimation's Gen Fukunaga said they perceive problems on the ADV side, even Hey, Answerman! finally got his head out of the sand. ADV killing their linear service and the ADVocates charity assistance to anime clubs certainly doesn't help the overall atmosphere.
Their ADVocates program might have just been canceled due to lack of interest. I know the anime club I was in never bothered to get permission or anything like that to screen an anime. I doubt we were very atypical.
Companies should really be more forthcoming about things like this. Even if ADV isn't really in trouble, rumors that they are could have a negative impact on their bottom line, resulting in them really being in trouble. What happens if people decide they aren't sure that ADV will finish releasing a new title, so they decide to hold off buying it until they're sure it'll be fully released? That could hurt sales enough for ADV's percieved troubles to become real troubles.
I understand that there are some things that are trade secrets, but a bit more openess in business would only be a good thing.* If you're going to cancel a long standing project without giving reason, people are going to naturally assume the worst.
*That doesn't just apply to anime companies.
Periodic culling of the business sector is usually a healthy thing... but a meltdown, bleh!
The diminishment of reliability and credibility just makes the hobby sector that much more important. ADV having "no comment" certainly didn't calm anyone.
(still waiting for Geneon:Karin to be rescued by someone... )
And while this website thing is a little bizzare, there is no reason to scream that the sky is falling. Most of these titles are pretty recent so that it could be something as minor as a database corruption/reversion to last year. (No idea why they would "No comment" that though.)
Something else will be interesting, IMHO.
The Japanese studios can't be interested in seeing the R1 market collapse. Therefore, if the old licencing conditions (forced single releases, high upfront payment) don't work anymore, they will have to adapt, whether they want it or not. The licences will have to become cheaper and less restrictive.
On one hand, this means that the budget for Japanese anime labels will have less cash in their pockets from foreign-language releases, which will also tighten their budget calculations for new shows ==> less shows with tighter budgets.
On the other hand, I'd expect that this might help the transformation for other formats: Full-season "collector" releases for affordable prices. And maybe (hopefully) eventually download-to-own anime, just like no-DRM music mp3 sales are becoming more and more prevalent.
Japanese management consists of what is probably the most conservative bunch in the world, but even they should eventually get to see the light of day.
I know that it shouldn't be alarmist, but
Pulling New titles from Site,
Running 25 for $100 sale.
ADV UK Shutdown
Newtype Shutdown
TAN Shutting parts down.
No comment from ADV on Title drop.
So I think I'd better stock up on ADV titles that I do not currently own.
I hope this doesn't happen, if it did then it would be nice if they finished up on there current series, would love to finish my Kanon collection, since only 1st volume is out atm would suck if they stopped production :/
All anime companies had the 40% off sale 2-3 times a year. But only Genon and then ADV ever had the 25/100 and 10/50 sales.
The last time ADV ran the 25/100 sale was right before they got bought out right?
#3, doesn't Viz hold that title? Well $ sold I mean.
OMG NO. This can't happen. It can't. It must not. I'm going to pray every night. >_<

I crossed my second forbidden watershed weight recently. I remember when I got to my lowest weight in ten years. I said I'd never be over 200 pounds again. I also expressed how happy I was to no longer be part of the obesity epidemic.
Then I lost sight of my goals. I started eating whatever I wanted. I stopped working out regularly. Before I knew it, I was inching over 200 pounds again. I could make excuses and say, "Well, it's not that much. I can lose it again with no problems." But the other day I stepped on the scale and it said 220. There's no way that even I- master of making excuses that I am- can try to explain that one or be anything even approaching casual about it.
I'm not happy about this. It's one of only a very small handful of things I don't like about me and my life. (Despite the weight gain, I still have extremely high self-esteem.) So I'm trying again, and this time I'm determined to make it stick. I'm still working on a plan, so I'm not making any grand pronouncements yet. I do know that I don't have as many roadblocks concerning my schedule as I used to have, so it should be easier to manage. Whether that ends up being true or not is entirely up in the air.
I can say that I am all steely determination. However, if intentions were all it took, we would all be slender and healthy, right?

Sounds like you are determined and really that's what it is all about, how determined we are. We must not lose sigh of that. It isn't just about losing weight, but, about giving our bodies the right kind of fuel to keep us feeling well and healthy. I have been trying very hard to use the tracker and really look at the end of day report to try and get the right amount of everything like cholesterol, calcium, etc.and I really do feel better already. I wish you much success with your determination.

Thanks, ladies! You guys are my "rocks of encouragement." Paula, I'm not brave enough for the "before" pictures, but maybe I should try. I have to find my camera's battery, since there's no way they're going on my work phone! I'm going very veggie/fruit based this week, myself. Not quite a cleanse, because I'm also making sure I get plenty of whole grains and lean protein (and enough fat to stick with it ;-) ).
And yeah. Ann Arbor. I'll be there.

Welcome back, friend! You and I are in the same boat, and in fact, at the same current weight. I just had my husband take pictures of me in my sports bra and undies over the weekend because I needed that wakeup call.
I'm resetting myself this week with a fruit/veggie cleanse. Then I'm ready to learn how to eat sensibly and make this change for life.
Let's do this together, girl!
BTW... Ann Arbor is having their inaugural marathon on June 17. I'm planning to do the half. Are you in????

Jen, I have been battling this since age 4, I swear. I may not look obese but I have been in my lifetime. Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom before we can start rising to the top once again.

It's Easier Not to Think
So I'm already a HUGE Daryl/Glenn shipper, even with the lack of proof we've been shown (isn't that a shipper's life, though?). And there's not enough fic in the world for them, so here's my shot.
I feel that Daryl would have trouble accepting his attraction to another man, while Glenn would most likely be OK with it (that's what college is for!), so he would have to convince himself that it was just a one-time thing, or something.
Um, the timeline is... strange. It kind of skips around, from pre-season to the CDC to season 2. So pretend you don't care about timeline.
*There is some dubious consent on Glen's part throughout the story, as in, almost non-con.*
Chapter I. Initiation
It was easier this way. This way, with neither of them quite caring, both of them high out of their minds, Daryl could convince himself that he wasn't hurting anyone. Or that he wasn't really doing this. Or that it didn't count. Or something like that.
Analytical introspection wasn't really Daryl's strong suit.
It could have been, maybe, if things had been different. If he hadn't had to drop out of school, if he didn't have to hide his books whenever his brother came around. Sure, Merle was great, but he didn't look too kindly on those who valued "book learnin'". And Daryl wanted Merle to think he was the best, he wanted Merle to like him. Because Merle was his big brother, and who doesn't idolize their big brother?
But Merle was gone now, and Daryl was lost. He was angry for the longest time, hell, he was still angry, but now he didn't have anywhere to aim that anger. He had long ago forgiven T-Dog for being clumsy, and they had all gone with him to retrieve Merle. That had to count for something.
But that put Daryl in the awkward position of being angry without anything to be angry at. He wished he had some books to bury himself in, someone to yell at or some walker to kill. Lacking that, he withdrew into himself and cleaned his weapons. It was repetitive and soothing.
But that stupid Asian, that dumb-ass Glenn, had decided to make it his mission to cheer Daryl up. Whenever he saw Daryl cleaning his weapons, he plopped down next to him and cleaned his own weapons. Whenever Daryl went out to scout, Glenn went with him. That boy was a burr, but Daryl sure as hell wasn't about to let him under his skin.
But he didn't know how to stop it. Already, he was becoming used to Glenn's presence on the scouting trips and the small grunts of satisfaction he made when a weapon was cleaned. When he answered with a grunt of his own and they shared a smile, Daryl quickly turned it into a smirk and turned away.
That's when he knew this had to stop. He couldn't get comfortable, least of all now, least of all with Glenn.
"I'm going on a scouting trip." Daryl told Dale the next day.
Dale looked up. "It's barely even dawn yet," he stated.
"I know," Daryl had purposefully chosen a time when hardly anyone would be awake. "Best time to track those motherfuckers."
"Aren't you going to wait for Glenn?" Dale called, but Daryl walked on, pretending he hadn't heard.
He came back later that evening, richer by two rabbits. He dropped them off at Rick's feet and ignored the injured look Glenn gave him. He stalked off to his tent, but Glenn hopped up and followed him.
"Why'd you leave so early?" Glenn asked. When he received no response, he tried again. "Did you find anything out?" He started at Daryl for a moment, then tried one last time. "You shouldn't need to go again for a while, now, though, right?"
"For Christ sakes!" Daryl hissed, getting closer to Glenn (which, he belatedly realized, was a mistake), "Will you leave me alone? I got better things to do than babysit a chinaman like you, all right?" Glenn was silent, then turned and walked back to the campfire.
Daryl wasn't angry anymore, not after that. Instead, he was anxious, a little guilty. He went back to cleaning his weapons by himself, spending more and more time on his hunting trips. Eventually, Glenn seemed to forgive him.
At least, they could have conversations now, sit next to each other without glaring daggers.
Then Jim got bitten, and they undertook a crazy-ass journey to the CDC. Jim got left on the way, but the others made it.
"Who'd of thought?" Daryl mused, once they were inside. "We actually made it."
Glenn, hearing him, laughed. "Yeah, man, I thought we were gonna die out there!" Looking at Glenn's smile, realizing how much he had missed it, Daryl felt his heart constrict.
And he had his plan.

Last year at the Geneva show, Rolls-Royce surprised everyone (probably including themselves) by building an electric Phantom with a 1452-pound battery pack in place of the engine. They flew me out to Goodwood, UK to drive the car and I was smitten. To me, the 102EX seemed even more stately, more elegant, more Phantom-like than the actual, regular Phantom.Why? It had more torque – that timeless key ingredient to true luxury – than the V-12 powered car, was quieter, smoother and didn't produce any odors. Not only that, but since the twin-electric motors were mounted on the rear half-shafts, there was no need for a driveshaft hump, allowing for a flat floor in the back seat. The 102EX was, in my mind, totally magnificent.Yes, yes, it only had a sub 100-mile range (Rolls claimed 120 miles, but always chop that about in half). But I figured that if you're commuting from Manhattan to the Hamptons, London to Buckinghamshire, Dubai to Abu Dhabi or Moscow to…well, you wouldn't want to leave Moscow, but the point is, for the low-mile, wealthy enclave to wealthy enclave commutes I figured that the hyper-rich would make, a short range opulence express would totally work. Wrong!"These people own jets!" An off-the-record Rolls-Royce employee explained to me one night at the launch of the Phantom Series II. "They're used to flying from one continent to another. A car that goes less than 100 miles at a time is of no interest to them. They think electric cars are nothing more than golf carts. And they own golf courses. There was simply no interest, none." Rolls' CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös (yes, three umlauts!!) put it more mildly, and of course, professionally."The [102EX] always was a market research exercise. Over 500 people have been behind the wheel now, all over the world. The feedback is ambivalent so far, unfortunately. I wouldn't have thought that. Because I've always loved the car from the very beginning."I explain to Herr. Müller-Ötvös that I feel the same. He goes on to explain, "But the clear feedback is, there's too much compromise." What sort of compromise? "Charging time of 8 hours: unacceptable. Range of 120 miles," Torsten pauses, underlining his point, "Unacceptable. 120 miles is definitely not enough."Those flaws are common to all electric cars, but Rolls-Royce found its customers provided one more barrier to electrified entry. "What's also amazing is that people love 12 cylinders. I've heard a couple of times, 'Torsten, don't mess around with the 12-cylinder.'" One must admit that there is something very appealing about a big, fat V-12.In fact, Müller-Ötvös's Bentley colleague/rival Wolfgang Durheimer said as much in an interview with us at last year's Pebble Beach about future Bentley products "12-cylinder technology for me is very sexy…I am promoting 12-cylinders for Bentley, and I am quite sure that we will find customers that appreciate it." Yes. Rolls-Royce customers, as it turns out."I'm a clear believer that Rolls-Royce needs to look into alternative drivetrains." Continues Müller-Ötvös. "But, I desperately want to make sure I have all customer insights into that project to make sure we understand the customer's desire." Will that alternative drivetrain take the form of some sort of hybridized Roller?Possibly, and the leading candidate seems to be a Volt-like range-extender set up. Rolls needs to, I'm told, remain relevant. Especially if a city like London decides to ban solely gas-powered vehicles. For now you can rest easy knowing 12-cylinders engines are what RR customers demand. To punctuate this point, Torsten summarizes the Electric Phantom experiment by concluding, "I haven't yet seen a blank check on my desk to say 'Torsten, build me an electric Rolls-Royce.'"

Among other rooms is a dining room, a utility, a study, a laundry, a WC/shower room and a bathroom. There are three bedrooms on the first floor.
Among the original features are sash style wooden frame windows with working shutters, original ornate fireplaces, original ornate coving and the original floorboards that are fully restored.

Mail, with small print, from disabilities program 'ridiculous' says Toronto's Chelsea Mohler CBC News Posted: Oct 04, 2014
The province is not doing enough to accommodate people with disabilities, according to a blind woman who is routinely expected to read letters from Ontario's Disability Support Program.
Chelsea Mohler of Toronto does most of her correspondence electronically. She has computer software that reads websites and emails.
But the ODSP the Ontario program that is meant to help people with disabilities does not allow people to submit information via the internet, nor will case workers send emails.
Mohler instead identifies her monthly letters from the ODSP by feel and gets someone else to fill out the forms, reporting any income she has earned.
"If you get a print notice that asks you to come in and meet with your case worker and you can't read it and don't respond your income support could be stopped or withdrawn," she told CBC News.
"Just on the face of it that's ridiculous," she added.

You know how when you screw up badly with your significant other and you buy them a present because you hope that will smooth everything over? No? You've never done that because they are way too smart to fall for something like that? Yeah, that's my experience too.
Anyway: BlackBerry.
Starting Wednesday, BlackBerry owners will be able to download a bunch of premium apps for free. The company is hoping that people's love of games like the Sims, Texas Hold 'em, and the Siri-like Vlingo will help them forget about the outages last week that kept customers from using email, browsing the web, or sending texts. The whole list of apps is in a BlackBerry press release, where there is also promise of more free stuff to be announced.
Also, RIM's annual developer's conference starts tomorrow. Another big test for the company's survival: to see whether people still want to build apps for its products.

'Modi must explain if he agrees with Patel's views'
PM Manmohan Singh will inaugurate the national memorial of Sardar Patel in Ahmedabad on Tuesday to reinforce the idea that the Congress hasn't forgotten the man who reintegrated India after Independence as has often been alleged by the BJP.india Updated: Oct 29, 2013 13:36 IST
The Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party are all set for a new battle ahead of 2014 elections - fighting to claim the legacy of India's first home minister and Congress leader Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will inaugurate the national memorial of Sardar Patel in Ahmedabad on Tuesday to reinforce the idea that the Congress has not forgotten the man who reintegrated India after Independence as has often been alleged by the BJP.
And two days after that, on the 138th birth anniversary of the Iron Man, Gujarat chief minister and BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for Patel's 182-metre statue, named the Statue of Unity, in the middle of the Narmada riverbed facing Sardar Sarovar Dam.
Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has already begun the battle over Patel on Twitter.
He recently tweeted, "BJP and RSS have been trying to appropriate Gandhiji and Patel as they have no leader who they can claim to be in the Freedom Movement.Sad !... I compliment Modi for building Sardar Patel's statue at Sardar Sarovar. LOH PURUSH who banned RSS for inciting communal violence."
Hours before the function in Ahmedabad, information and broadcasting minister Manish Tewari also criticised Modi for allegedly appropriating Patel's legacy.
He said: "I want to ask the BJP and its newly appointed pretender whether they truly accept the beliefs of Sardar Patel."
"Narendra Modi must explain if he agrees with Sardar Patel's views on RSS," he added.
"Sardar Patel blamed RSS' communal poison for the sacrifice of Mahatma Gandhi. Modi must explain if he agrees with Patel's views."
Sardar Patel memorial
Patel's memorial is located at the Moti Shahi Mahal which was constructed by Mughal emperor Shahjahan between 1618 and 1622.
The palace was used by the British, when Ahmedabad was established as a cantonment in the mid-nineteenth century, for government purposes.
After Independence, the palace was turned into the Raj Bhavan - the official residence of the governor of Gujarat, from 1960 to 1978.
The central hall is filled with portraits of Patel, his family, friends and colleagues during the Indian freedom struggle.
They carry biographical descriptions of periods of his life, and quotes by his colleagues and admirers.
Two of the four adjacent rooms house relics of Patel's life.

Flowers and Liberty
Jaymie Thursday 2 comments
Walking past the entrance of Liberty you can't help but stop and take a peek at the gorgeous flowers arrangements by the famous department stores doors. Nothing brightens up a room quite like a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
The colours, shapes and scent are not only exquiste but are a constant source of inspiration in art and fashion. Burgundy purple, cream and dark green is one of my favourite colour combinations and when I see those tulips in the last picture I envision dark purple cigarette pants, dark green knit and a cream coat.

Your feel good story of the day.
One of Michael Jordan's biggest fans got the surprise of a lifetime recently when MJ sent him a care package full of Jordan Brand gear, including the recently released "Tinker Alternate" Air Jordan 7s. Additionally, Jordan sent him a handwritten letter and called to say what's up.
The fan we're talking about is none other than 33-year old Jeffrey Harrison. Not ringing a bell? He's the guy who wore MJ's entire Chicago Bulls getup while playing a game of pickup hoops and instantly went viral. But there's much more to the story than that.
"I am a good player, I always have fun playing basketball," Harrison told KREM2. "I also take the game real seriously."
As it turns out, Harrison has idolized Jordan since the age of 4 and began wearing MJ's gear during pickup games back in 2010 as a way to honor the legend. He refuses to let his autism get in the way of his love for the game.
The heartwarming moment was all documented on twitter by KREM2 writer, Darnay Tripp which you can check out below. You can find the full story right here.
The gifts, the letter, the phone call, it was all Michael Jordan's idea. He wanted to do something special for Jeffrey. Man, did he ever...— Darnay Tripp (@DarnayTripp) August 12, 2016

My mother, Deirdre Verrinder, who has died aged 91, was variously a swimming and tennis champion, schoolteacher, wife, mother, grandmother, writer, book editor, genealogist and sailor, all of which sustained her though an emotionally difficult life.
Her struggles started when she was young. She was born Dorothy Brydon, in Eltham, south-east London. Her parents, Sidney, a research scientist suffering from shellshock in the aftermath of the first world war, and Cecilia, an award-winning photographer, but psychologically disturbed, separated when she was two.
Ferociously intelligent, beautiful and always stylishly dressed, artistic and good with her hands, Dorothy was prone to serious depression, and attempted to manage her emotional turmoil by joining the Society of Friends when she was 17. In the early years of the second world war, she married her first boyfriend, Tony Verrinder, and had three children. Quakerism sustained her for 20 years, but it was not enough to maintain her through a brutal divorce. In the 1960s, she suffered a series of major depressive episodes and went through electroshock therapy, which deterred her from having any further psychological treatment.
Between hospitalisations, and by now using the name Deirdre Dillon, she worked successfully as a writer and editor, working for various publishers; in the late 60s and early 70s she was an in-house author at Hamlyn for the Camberwick Green and Trumpton series based on the much-loved children's television series. Always leftwing, she was also a stalwart member of the National Union of Journalists. When she could no longer work, she comforted herself with music and literature, sewing, knitting and gardening.
Deirdre's love of learning and her natural athleticism finally restored her to life. She plunged into genealogy long before it became fashionable, completing a two-year course at Birkbeck College, London. At 70, she fell in love with Charles, the owner of a 30ft sailing boat, took sailing lessons, and achieved competent crew level. She moved to Chichester, West Sussex, and they sailed together for 15 years until macular degeneration left Deirdre almost blind.
At 88, she started an Open University BA degree in English, which came to an untimely end with her first heart attack last year. She is survived by her children, Bridget, Adrian and me, two sisters and a brother, four grandchildren, and two great-grandsons.

Buried in Le Roy Cemetery, Le Roy, Coffey Co., KS.
Died: Aug. 16, 1913
The entire community was shocked last Saturday afternoon when the word was passed around that Major D. H. David, of this city, had died suddenly only a few minutes before. He had complained a little on the previous day to a friend on account of pain in his chest, but neither Mrs. Dais nor any of his friends feared the fatal ending which came so soon. The cause of death was given as neuralgia of the heart.
Major David was born in Georgetown, Kentucky, December 26th, 1829 and as his death occurred on August 16th, 1913 he was 83 years, 8 months and 16 days old at the time of his death—a ripe old age. The Major's life was one full of varied experiences. His youth was spent in Madison, Indiana. For six years in the early 50s he worked in the mines of California. Afterward he was a steamboat pilot on the Ohio river.
When the War of the Rebellion broke out he and his five brothers who were old enough to enlist pulled away from his friends and neighbors who were favorable to the Confederate cause and joined the Union army. The Major recruited thousands of men and the close of the war found him holding the office of Major in the 14th Kansas Cavalry.
In 1890 he and his wife joined the Methodist Episcopal church and lived a good life, full of faith in the power of God. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife, Alice M. David, a daughter, Mrs. Madge Bowman, eight grandchildren, four brothers and one sister. He had only recently returned from a family reunion at Madison, Indiana.
The funeral services were held at the Methodist church Monday morning. Rev. J. R. Hankins, his pastor preached the sermon. W. D. Gose, his neighbor, made a fine talk appreciative of the good qualities of the departed friend. Burial was in the Leroy cemetery. His old comrades and the members of the A.O. U. W., attended the funeral services in a body. He carried $2000 life insurance in the latter payable to his daughter, formed his life in his latter years, Major David's heart was full of charity for the shortcomings of his fellow men. The writer has talked with him much and never have we heard from his lips aught but kindly words for any man, living or dead.
Peace to his ashes.

Graphics pros will find good tools in compact Grafpup distro
Grafpup 2.0 is a compact Linux distribution based on Puppy Linux and aimed at graphics professionals. It offers a variety of options for installation, a custom set of configuration utilities, and a niche suite of applications for digital artists. The graphics are soothing, and the Openbox desktop runs smoothly even on older hardware. Despite a few problems, Grafpup is a good choice for graphic designers and writers on the go.
Grafpup offers several ISO versions, ranging in size from 67MB for a version with the Dillo Web browser to 114MB for one with the full Mozilla Seamonkey suite. I chose the Seamonkey version because I like Firefox and don't care about the increased size.
Bootup time from the live CD was slightly better than Knoppix on the same machine, an old Celeron 1.5GHz with 512MB of memory, but the difference was not as much as I'd have expected.

text: When the clothes are the main attraction, it's hard to give shoes the attention they deserve—something that's made especially difficult by the speed in which models zoom by on the runway. You barely have time to register what you're seeing, when poof, just like that, they're gone. It's really only after Fashion Month wraps that we have the time to scrupulously study every single shoe, drink in all the glorious details (the YSL stiletto! the amazingness that is the convertible Gucci platform!) that we might have missed, and obsess-slash-draft our next season's shopping list at—and this is the most important part—a nice, unhurried, leisurely pace. We did our shoe diligence and rounded up the best of the best from all four fashion capitals: New York, London, Milan, and Paris. Click through to see our favorites from the spring 2017 collections.
