Sixers instantly better with Bynum
The game of basketball should be played where the ball goes inside and then comes out. You need a big man around the basket to make this happen, a player who can score, rebound and close down the lane defensively.
Andrew Bynum can do all those things.
The Philadelphia 76ers have acquired Bynum from the Los Angeles Lakers in a four-team blockbuster trade. The Sixers also received shooting guard Jason Richardson. In the process, the Sixers traded All-Star guard and Olympian Andre Iguodala to the Denver Nuggets, Nikola Vucevic to the Orlando Magic and Maurice "Moe" Harkless, this year's first round draft pick, to the Magic.
The Lakers received a huge package in all-star center Dwight Howard and Orlando got Arron Afflalo and Al Harrington from Denver, and one protected first round selection from each of the three teams involved with the deal.
The Sixers will miss Iguodala's spectacular play in the open court and his defense. Ironically, Iguodala's debut as a Nugget will be against the Sixers on Oct. 31 in Philadelphia for the team's home opener.
However, they now have Bynum, a 7-foot, 280-pounder who is one of the top players in the NBA. With Howard now in the West, Bynum immediately becomes the best big man in the East. Bynum, who grew up in Plainsboro, N.J., is only 24 years old after entering the NBA right out of high school as the 10th pick of the Lakers in 2005. He was a McDonald's All-American when he played at St. Joseph's High School in Metuchen, N.J.
He has already won two NBA championships (2009, 2010) with the Lakers. He made the all-star team for the first time last season, averaging 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds a game while leading the Lakers to playoffs.
The Sixers defeated the Lakers on Feb. 2 in Philadelphia, 95-90. But Bynum was terrific in that contest, tallying 20 points, 20 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 assists. The Sixers should revolve their offense around him. Obviously, teams will collapse on him inside, but that's exactly what you want. This way he can kick the ball back out to players like Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner, Nick Young, Dorell Wright and Jason Richardson for easy shots on the perimeter.
Philly should be able to climb the ladder in the Eastern Conference with him. Miami won the NBA championship in the spring. But the Sixers just got a whole lot closer with Bynum in the middle.
The Sixers finished in the eighth spot in the conference. They defeated the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the playoffs with Chicago missing two of its top players for most of the series in Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah. The Sixers were very impressive in the Eastern Conference semifinals too, losing to the Boston Celtics in seven games.
Bynum could take them to the next level. After Miami, you have the Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks and the Brooklyn Nets as the teams to watch. The Sixers are right there.
There aren't a lot of dominant centers in the NBA today. The Sixers have one of them. Philly's best teams have been the ones with outstanding centers. In 1966–67, the Sixers won the NBA championship with Wilt Chamberlain in the middle. In 1982–83, the team had center Moses Malone, which helped it capture an NBA title.
Bynum has already won two NBA crowns. He played with some great players such as Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and others. Nevertheless, he knows how to win and that should really help the Sixers.
Of course Bynum is in the final year of his contract and will be looking for a big deal. The Sixers could offer him a reported $100 million over five years. The Sixers should have a good chance to re-sign him.
He's worth the investment.
Allen, Sixers look to seize control
Fran Dunphy, Temple's head basketball coach, has been watching the Philadelphia 76ers-Chicago Bulls playoff series very closely. Dunphy has been watching one of his former players, Lavoy Allen, receive a great deal of playing time for the Sixers in the postseason.
Allen, former Temple standout, put on quite a show tallying 11 points and nine rebounds off the bench to help the Sixers defeat the Bulls, 109-92 on Tuesday, evening the playoff series at 1-1. The 6-foot-9 power forward is just a rookie, but played like a season veteran in the second game. Allen is preparing for Game 3 of the series, which will be played at Wells Fargo Center on Friday, May 4 at 8 p.m. Dunphy has been very pleased with Allen's performance.
"We're so happy for him," Dunphy said. "We're so proud of him. He has had a very good rookie year. I think everybody is really happy for he and his family. We're lucky to have him be in this situation."
Allen was the Sixers second round pick last year. He has averaged 4.1 points and 4.2 rebounds a game this season. He came to the Sixers with some great credentials. The ex-Pennsbury High star led the Owls to four NCAA tournament appearances. He was twice selected All-Atlantic 10 Conference first-team. He received all-conference honors for his defensive skills on three occasions. As a junior, he became the first Temple player to average a double-double since Ollie Johnson did it in 1970–71. He also eclipsed John Baum as Temple's all-time leading rebounder. Dunphy knew Allen would be a good fit for the Sixers.
"I had every confidence that he would continue to be a better basketball player each and every time he got a chance to be out there," Dunphy said. "He's a very intelligent basketball player and one who knows his role. I've seen him a couple times live and many, many times on TV and a number of times when Doug (Collins, Sixers head coach) has let me come to practice. I've seen him a lot. I think he's making good progress."
In this series, Allen has to battle some outstanding players up front such as 6-foot-9 Carlos Boozer, 6-foot-11 Joakim Noah and 6-foot-9 Taj Gibson from the Bulls. The Sixers need him for defense and rebounding, but also scoring.
"Rebounding and defense has always been consistent for him," Dunphy said. "Now, he's really coming into his own on how to get shots and making shots. How to get them is as important as making them. I think he gets himself in good position. He knows how to fade and get to a spot that's open and his teammates are finding him. I think that's a great tribute to Coach Collins and his staff."
Dunphy will be in front of his television set for Game 3 to see Allen play in another big playoff game.
"I'll be watching," Dunphy said. "We're actually in a charity event at the Palestra on Friday. It starts about 7:30 p.m., but after that is over I'm going to get the DVD out and watch him. It's going to be great to see him."
Decisive win gives Sixers hope
CHICAGO — There wasn't much for Jrue Holiday to improve on in this game, except maybe one thing.
"I could have been 15 for 15," he said.
Holiday didn't hit all his shots. It just seemed like it.
Holiday scored 26 points, Lou Williams added 20 and the Philadelphia 76ers beat Chicago 109-92 on Tuesday night to even their first-round series at 1-1 in the Bulls' first game since Derrick Rose's season-ending knee injury.
The superstar point guard received a standing ovation and waved to the crowd as he limped onto the court to present the game ball, then watched from a suite as the 76ers blitzed the Bulls in the third quarter.
"I can't tell you how exciting it is to come into Chicago and get a playoff win here on the road for our team," coach Doug Collins said. "It was a great, great night."
The Sixers outscored Chicago 36-14 in the period, turning an eight-point deficit into an 83-69 lead against the league's top-seeded team.
Game 3 is Friday in Philadelphia.
"This game we caught fire and it was pretty hard to put it out," Holiday said.
All the Bulls could do was shake their heads and vow to do better.
"Disappointed," Chicago's Joakim Noah said. "Disappointing effort overall. We didn't play well defensively. We didn't play well offensively."
Holiday was 11 of 15 from the field, and the Sixers shot 59 percent overall. Williams came up big, going 8 of 13 after hitting just 1 of 6 shots in the opener, and Chicago product Evan Turner chipped in with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
Noah led the Bulls with 21 points and eight rebounds. John Lucas III scored 15 points, but Carlos Boozer scored just nine and Luol Deng finished with eight. More alarming, the Bulls simply couldn't stop the Sixers, particularly in the third quarter.
"We kind of let our offense affect our defense," Richard Hamilton said.
The Sixers were leading 68-61 midway through the quarter after a 12-0 run that Elton Brand started with a foul-line jumper. Then, after a basket by C.J. Watson, Andre Iguodala threw down a thunderous one-handed dunk over Deng for a three-point play that drew plenty of oohs, aahs and groans from a crowd that could feel the game slipping away.
Things didn't get much better for Chicago after that.
The 76ers continued to pour it on, with Iguodala delivering another vicious dunk late in the quarter and then hitting Williams with an alley-oop pass that made it 83-69 heading into the fourth.
"For the first time in a long time our defense dictated our offense," Iguodala said. "We rebounded the ball. Evan and myself pushed it out on the break and we finished pretty well. It started with that in the third quarter."
It added up to a rough night for the Bulls, who were in a familiar spot with Rose sidelined again — this time after tearing the ACL in his left knee late in Game 1.
He missed 27 games during the regular season because of a variety of ailments, and the Bulls did just fine, going 18-9. Throw in injuries to Hamilton and Deng, and they were able to go with their projected starting five just 15 times, yet they still captured homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs for the second straight season.
That's why they insist they can still make a run, even with Rose out. They won without him before. They insist their championship hopes didn't end when he went down.
"It's different (without Rose)," Noah said. "There's no excuses, though. We know we can play better. It's disappointing, but you know what? We live to fight another day. There's a lot of basketball to play."
Notes: The Sixers shuffled their lineup from Game 1, with Turner starting for Jodie Meeks and C Spencer Hawes for Lavoy Allen. ... Scottie Pippen says the Bulls still are the team to beat even without Rose. In an open letter to the team posted Tuesday on the Bulls' website, Pippen wrote, "You're still the best team in the NBA until an opponent proves otherwise." The Hall of Famer also compared the loss of Rose to Michael Jordan's first retirement and pointed out the 1993-94 team won 55 games. Pippen said the Bulls "believed in ourselves" and never "felt sorry for ourselves." ... Chicago's Tom Thibodeau finished second in the Coach of the Year voting to San Antonio's Gregg Popovich after winning the award last season. -- (AP)
Holiday, Sixers aim to bounce Bulls
The postseason is where the cream rises to the top. Jrue Holiday, Philadelphia 76ers point guard, has played extremely well in the Sixers first round playoff series against the Chicago Bulls. Holiday has led the Sixers to a 3-1 lead in the series with an opportunity to close the Bulls out with a victory on Tuesday night, May 8 in Chicago at the United Center (Comcast Sportsnet, 9:30 p.m.).
The 6-foot-4, 180-pounder, leads the team in playoff scoring. He's averaging 19.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists a game. In Sunday's 89-82 win over the Bulls, Holiday, who struggled offensively throughout most of the game, never gave up on his shot. He connected on two three-pointers late to give the Sixers a cushion down the stretch.
"I'm so proud of Jrue," said Doug Collins, Sixers head coach. "He has a coach that has no conscious when it comes to shooting. That's one thing I tried to in part with our team. If you have a shot, you have to take it. Jrue was 0-for the world and hit two huge threes … that's the kind of growth I like to see from our young guys, don't fear the consequences. If you miss, you miss."
That's exactly the way Holiday has been playing in these playoffs. Of course, the Bulls are playing without star guard Derrick Rose, who is out for the season with a torn ACL in his left knee. Joakim Noah, Bulls power forward, missed Game 4 with a sprained ankle. In spite of the Bulls misfortune, this has been a huge coming out party for Holiday. The playoffs have a way of doing that. Holiday has stepped up in a big way. He was shooting 1-for-14 at one point in Sunday's game. For the game, he shot 7-for-23 from the field. Statistics don't always tell the whole story because the two three-pointers came at such a crucial point in the game.
"Coach Collins has a lot to do with that," Holiday said. "He tells me every game if I'm not shooting to keep on shooting. I think as everybody knows, he was a scorer. So, he understands. It came down the stretch and hit some big shots."
Collins was a terrific scorer during his playing days with the Sixers. He played with some outstanding players such as Julius Erving, George McGinnis, World B. Free (then Lloyd Free), Joe Bryant, Steve Mix, Caldwell Jones and Darryl Dawkins. That was during the 1970s. The Sixers were a powerhouse in the NBA.
This team isn't at that level yet. They're still very young with players like Holiday, Evan Turner, Lou Williams and Thaddeus Young. This is Holiday's third NBA season. In 2009, he was the 17th pick in the first round of the NBA draft. Holiday was a McDonald's All-American coming out of Campbell High School in Chatsworth, Calif., right near Los Angeles. He played one season at UCLA where he played alongside Darren Collison in the backcourt. Collison plays for the Indiana Pacers, who are leading their series with the Orlando Magic. Holiday played just one season with the Bruins before he left school for the draft.
Holiday comes from a basketball family. His brother Justin played his college basketball at the University of Washington. Moreover, he has learned a lot about the game from Jerome "Pooh" Richardson, former Ben Franklin High, UCLA and NBA standout. Richardson was a big time player for the Bruins. Holiday keeps in touch with the ex-Public League standout.
In addition, Aaron McKie, Sixers assistant coach, has worked very closely with Holiday. McKie, a former Simon Gratz, Temple and Sixers standout, has helped Holiday polish his game.
Holiday is a real smooth ball player. You can see the way he slithers to the basket and pulls up for his jumpshot. He doesn't get flustered on the court. That's important, especially now. The Sixers are just one game away from winning their first playoff series in nine years (2003) when they defeated the New Orleans Hornets in six games. Holiday doesn't have a lot of playoff experience. The Sixers lost to the Miami Heat in five games last year.
"This is new for me," Holiday said. "It's my first time experiencing this. I'm excited. The next game we played we have to play like it's Game 7. We have to play like our backs are against the wall or like it's do or die. We want to win in Chicago and go from there. We would like to get some rest before the next round."
If the Sixers can continue to play well, the next round isn't that far away.
Advancing! Iguodala shoots 76ers into 2nd round
PHILADELPHIA — Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner hopped on the scorer's table and played to the crowd as the catchy 76ers theme song blared in the arena.
Eight years of going home empty was over. The Sixers were ready for a long overdue postseason celebration.
Iguodala made the go-ahead free throws with 2.2 seconds left and Philadelphia rallied for a 79-78 victory over the top-seeded Chicago Bulls in Game 6 on Thursday night, advancing to the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs for the first time since 2003.
The 76ers will face Boston, which beat Atlanta in six games, in the conference semifinals.
Omer Asik missed two free throws that would have given the Bulls a three-point lead in the final seconds. Iguodala grabbed the second miss, sprinted the length of the court, and was fouled by Asik on the driving layup. He made both and 20,362 fans went absolutely wild.
The Sixers are the fifth No. 8 seed to win a first-round series against a No. 1 seed. Memphis eliminated San Antonio last season, while Golden State (2007), New York (1999) and Denver (1994) also pulled off the rare feat.
In his second season, coach Doug Collins had already led the Sixers to their first winning season in seven years. Now, it's on to the second round for the first time Allen Iverson was an All-Star.
"I don't know how we won this game," Collins said.
The Sixers were smiling and mobbed each other as they dashed to the locker room to keep the party going.
The Sixers were 2.2 seconds from playing Game 7 in Chicago.
Now, they will pack their bags for the second round.
Iguodala scored 20 points, and Jrue Holiday and Lou Williams each scored 14. The Sixers won even though the Bulls crushed them 56-33 on the boards.
Iguodala snagged the one that mattered.
"We win on a rebound. Something we don't get all night," a smiling Collins said.
Iguodala made nine of 10 free throws in the fourth quarter in this series after shooting 45 percent (23 of 51) from the line in the period this season.
"I just wanted it for Dre so badly," Collins said.
Luol Deng had 19 points and 17 rebounds for the Bulls. Richard Hamilton scored 19 points and Carlos Boozer grabbed 13 rebounds.
The Sixers started 20-9 and led the Atlantic Division for the first half of the season until a late fade sent them tumbling toward eighth place.
None of that matters now.
Not even the fact that the series win comes with a bit of an asterisk. The Bulls lost star guard Derrick Rose to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee late in their series-opening victory. Center Joakim Noah was on the bench Thursday but failed to play in his third straight game with a sprained left ankle.
Without their stars, the Bulls found it tough to gut one out against the Sixers.
"I thought we had more than enough to win with," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "I'm disappointed in the loss but I'm not disappointed in our team."
Williams, second in the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award voting, buried a 3-pointer for a 73-72 lead with 4 minutes left.
The jubilation was short lived.
The Sixers were whistled for goaltending and Taj Gibson later made two free throws for a 76-73 lead.
Spencer Hawes tried to draw the foul but settled for a basket underneath to shrink the deficit to one. Asik scored to push the lead back to three with 25.8 seconds left and Philadelphia's Thaddeus Young made it 78-77 to set the stage for the dramatic finish.
The Bulls had the lock-down defensive effort to nearly pull off the win.
The signature series came in the fourth quarter when the Sixers wasted a forced turnover on the other end with a brutal offensive possession.
Hawes missed a shot, Young missed two straight in the paint, and Hawes missed again against hands-up defense that sent the bench into a frenzy. Noah was the first one up pumping his fist and screaming encouragement for the fantastic defensive effort.
Hawes fired an airball next time down and there was a collective groan from the crowd.
Iguodala made up for a string of Sixers misses with a tying 3 that made it 70-all.
The Sixers tried to get a laugh by showing the Bulls bench on "Kiss Cam." Noah popped his warmup jacket toward the camera and the crowd booed the oversized "Chicago" on the big screen.
Noah was one of the top offensive rebounders in the league and the Bulls figured on missing his presence in the middle. Led by Deng and Boozer, the Bulls instead went out and controlled the boards, holding a 49-29 edge early in the fourth.
"We have to use this as motivation to move forward," Thibodeau said.
Notes: The Sixers scored a measly 26 first-half points in their Game 5 loss. They led Game 6 48-40 at halftime. ... The Sixers started 12 of 20 from the field and finished the half at 50 percent. They shot a season-low 32 percent in Game 5 and failed to shoot better than 40 percent in three other games. ... The Bulls had a 3-pointer taken off the board right before the first half. -- (AP)

"Bose really gets it right this time"
5.0 starson by moore2772Pros: Great, natural sound. Won't fall out, comfortable. sound more expensive than they are, great imaging and "air."
Cons: No active noise reduction (which may be a plus...)
Summary: I've had 2 other pairs of earlier models, and the main problem was they wouldn't stay in my ears. Well, these will- no matter what you're doing. Sound, especially bass is even better. Easy to get totally lost in the music itself. iPhone, ipod, and volume controls/mic combo the do many functions and are easy to use. These are great earbuds at an appropriate price point.

Just to be clear. For the thermal cutoff. I said 0 ohms because the digital meter stayed at 0. I put it then on the setting that will beep if I have continuity. It has beeped on everything that I tested, but the thermal cutoff. So, does that mean that part is bad? Sorry, for the confusion.

We had such a great time while staying at this home in Ocean Lakes. The owners were wonderful to work with and the home was very comfortable and clean. It was great to be able to bring along our dog and he loved walking down to the canal. I felt safe allowing the kids to ride their bikes on the road along the front of the house since it was a dead end road. There were baby swans and geese out in the yard daily and we enjoyed feeding them bread! We will definitely be returning soon!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway, pet owners.

My family really enjoyed our stay at this beach house. We have stayed here previously for Halloween but staying here this summer was great. The house is always clean! The house is located in a quiet area of Ocean Lakes which helps with the rest and relaxation time :) The best thing about the house for our family is the house is pet friendly. The owners of the house are very polite and always respond to your questions/needs quickly.Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway, pet owners.

We enjoyed our stay in this home so much. We had enough room for everyone. The open floor plan was great! The porch was awesome. Great to let our little doggies run and play. We had everything we needed for a perfect stay at the beach. Ocean Lakes is the perfect place to stay with children! We rode around in the golf cart trying to pick out our future home. :) (I wish!)

The owners were excellent to work with and will do whatever it takes to make you stay enjoyable. The house was very clean and is located on a dead end street with little to no traffic. It is also near water and a very peacefull place to vacation. The large porch with gates for our dog was also a very nice feature. Plenty of room for everyone and an excellent vacation spot for the family and pet. I would recommend this rental to anyone!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

The house was very clean upon arrival, the owners were wonderful to work with any time I had a question, the house was great for our lab with the large gated porch and we loved sitting at the table on the porch. This is the first time renting a pet-friendly house so I was scared that it would smell like a dog, BUT it didn't! I also had my mother with us, that can smell anything, and she also said it didn't smell like a dog and was very clean. We had to cut our vacation short because my mother got sick, but I plan to bring my family back again. Thank you for the enjoyable vacation.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, people with disabilities, age 55+, pet owners.

Thank you so much for allowing us to share this beautiful beach house. It was quiet and peaceful. The treed, shaded lot was so soothing. The front covered porch was my favorite place to relax - whew! I loved the fountain and the lit up palm tree. I found some shells that were beautiful and will be great reminders of my sandy and sunny vacation. All the things in the park gave me many choices of activities. The beach to relax on while eating a frozen lemonade was just perfect. We will be in contact soon for a date next year. I will be saving my money to stay here again very soon. The home was decorated in a very bright way using beach colors and decoration. wow!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway, pet owners.

Sounds doable to me then
BTW, how does the memory on the fascinate compare to the D1? I have never had a issue with memory.
The TV Out for the Samsung phones is amazing: a complete mirror of the phone on the TV. Thats way better than the HDMI out for the X. (*there is a guy that made an app that almost does for the X. Its still in beta. Its a nice first step tho.)
Will that MicroUSB to HDMI for Video Out be the same way, a mirror image? If not, the TV Out still would be the best way to go.
I agree the size IMO is the perfect size between the regular size and big phones thats out now.
Amoled....I have no comment on that....lol Some ppl like it. I like LCD.
Unlocked bootloader is another plus...
Honestly, if I was choosing between the X and the Samsung phones...it would be a hard choice for me. X vs the Inc, X all the way for me. X vs. EVO, X all the way for me. Some things are more important to me than others. Their TV Out is a major plus, more so than an unlocked bootloader for me.

Tummy Tuck
Does Insurance Cover a Tummy Tuck?
Insurance companies generally do not cover cosmetic surgery that's done without a medical reason. Yours might if you have a hernia that will be corrected through the procedure.
Before you decide whether to get a tummy tuck, contact your insurance company so you're clear on what's covered and what's not. If you think you can make a case that you need the procedure for medical reasons, your surgeon may be able to help you by writing a letter to your insurer.

He immediately and passionately supported the Revolution, so when he read Edmund Burke's 1790 attack on it, he was inspired to write the book Rights of Man (1791) in a scathing response. The tract moved beyond supporting the French Revolution to discussing the basic reasons for discontent in European society, railing against a monarchic society,
and finally calling for a "bloody revolution." The British government banned the book and Paine was indicted for treason, although he was already on his way to France when the decree went out and avoided prosecution. (He was later named an honorary citizen of France.)
While rallying for the revolution, Paine also supported efforts to save the life of deposed King Louis XVI (instead favoring banishment), so when the radicals under Robespierre took power, Paine was sent to prison—from December 28, 1793 to November 4, 1794—where he narrowly escaped execution. In 1794, while Paine was imprisoned, the first part of his The Age of Reason (The Age of Reason: Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology iin full) was published. The book criticizes institutionalized religion for perceived corruption and political ambition, while challenging the validity of the Bible. The book was controversial, as was everything that Paine wrote, and the British government prosecuted anyone who tried to publish or distribute it. After his 1794 release from prison, Paine stayed in France, releasing the second and third parts of The Age of Reason before returning to the United States at President Jefferson's invitation.
Final Years
Paine returned to the United States in 1802 or 1803, only to find that his revolutionary work, influence and reputation had mostly been forgotten, leaving only his status as a world-class rabble-rouser intact.
Paine died in June 1809, and to drive home the point of his tarnished image, the New York Citizen printed the following line in Paine's obituary: "He had lived long, did some good and much harm." For more than a century following his death, this was the historical verdict handed down upon the legacy of Thomas Paine. Finally, in January 1937, the Times of London turned the tide, referring to him as the "English Voltaire"— a view that has prevailed ever since, with Thomas Paine now regarded as a seminal figure of the American Revolution.

Even the audio out the 5d is out massively. I used Prem Pro CS6 trial version, imported my 5D MKII files straight in, sync'd up the external sound files then exported to Pal MPG and burned to dvd. Does anyone see any immediate problems with what I've done?

amenorrhea resolved?! (self.xxketo)
submitted 1 year ago* by jessicaraeee
hey ladies. i just wanted to share that i have suffered from amenorrhea for at least 5 years. i am just turning 30 in a few weeks. i have always been an intensely athletic life but never felt as good or as fit as others, although i was only ever mildly chunky at most. i know i had issues with eating as a child because i was never full......ever. i was the last one at the table, could eat sticks of butter, trays of cookies and pounds of oranges with no satisfaction.
this lead to some disordered eating in my late teens (anorexia) and then spent my twenties struggling with exercise bulemia and binge eating. i also abused birth control and emergency controceptives and had always thought that was the major reason my period never came back when i stopped all that mess at 25.
i started eating a cleaner diet, no gluten, no sugar, no soy(not that i ever ate much), but still struggled with binge eating and then wearing myself out exercising. i put myself through gallstones and kidney stones with binging, going up and down in weight 40 pounds (im 5'4" small frame i have weighed 100, i have weighted 150) burnt out my adrenals to the point my dr told me i had the hormone level of an 80 year old, had super bad depression, burnt myself out doing farm jobs etcetcetc...but i never realized that my binging on everything and super bad hypoglycemia and blood sugar issues could be due to being extremely carb sensitive. it kind of makes sense because in my teens i was definitely an alcoholic and have that in my family(as well as eating disorders:(!)
anyway finally, FINALLY last month, after a huuge honey and butter binge(like week long winnie the pooh style) i said enough is enough and stopped eating all carb ridden things, i had pretty much only been eating root veggies and winter squash for a few years in terms of carbs at this point but even that had become too much for my poor abused system and i would binge on carrots! seriously its possible! a few weeks after cutting carbs down to a good 50 g i am feeling like my blood sugar is super stable, although i am not super energetic. and one afternoon after a HIIT class i start getting cramps like my bladder was going to fall out and then bang.....my period!!!!!!!!!! i was super excited because i really really want to have children, have always worried about my bones due to lack of hormones and just havent felt like a girl for a while. seriously i had only had two periods in five years before this!
i have to admit it was a pretty henious period, i was soso bloated the week before i though i was going to die or my boobs were going to pop. i chocked it up to induction adjustment and exhaustion, moving to a new town, starting a new job, starting HIIT and yoga, a total recipe for burn out. i was so happy when my period actually came, it definitely explained the bloating and i honored it and kept doing my best to keep low carb and continue exercising. a little more then a month later, in time with the full moon, another period!!!!!! this one wasnt as bad as the last and now that its winding down i feel a bit more comfortable in my skin for the first time in a long time. i am way less bloated and can feel a difference in my yoga poses, lol....they are a lot easier to get into and out of, much more space in the postures!
i have about 10 pounds to lose. even if i take my sweet ass time to lose it, i already feel so much better. feeling more full and in control of appetite(although i am still working through a lot of the mental issues around this) great stamina during the day at work(my job is very physical) no blood sugar hangry or faintness at meal time andandand i get to feel like a woman again. really now i am seeing my moon time as a super detoxifying time :) anyone else who has dealt with possible amenorrhea due to carb sensitivity/insulin issues
tldr; low carb=regaining menstration after dumb life and 5 years of absense
[–]flyinggnome 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
Thank you for sharing your story, and I do hope that the changes you're making in your life help your health to improve. But I have one small request, and that's to please put in paragraph breaks in future posts. It really makes it easier to read and understand what you're saying. Many people will skip your post entirely once they see the wall of text.
[–]jessicaraeee[S] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
ha, thanks! i am so lame at this type of thing! this is mostly mental diarrhea of all of what i have wanted to express for a while, just kinda had to get it out there, lol.

Next, check the fore-aft alignment between the control arm bolt holes in the Panhard-bar axle mount and the holes in the axle's lower-control-arm mount. Due to Ford's wide production tolerances, it may be necessary to elongate the Panhard-bar axle mount fore/aft with a file to allow the pivot bolt to pass through. This requires removing the mount and filing, as shown here. Don't enlarge the hole in the rear lower-control-arm axle bracket. Instead, remove just enough material from the axle mount so the 12mm bolt passes through the holes with a snug fit. Be careful not to excessively enlarge the holes in the axle mount. Afterward, reinstall it and retorque the bolt to 120 lb-ft.

Reviews for Life as We Knew It
Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.com
If you're looking for one of the best books of 2006, then look no further than Susan Beth Pfeffer's LIFE AS WE KNEW IT. A wonderful tale of family love, loss, and survival, this is one story that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page.
There have been lots of changes in sixteen-year-old Miranda's life recently. Her older brother, Matt, is away at college. Her mom is still adjusting to being a divorced parent. Her younger brother, Jonny, is obsessed with baseball. And her dad and his new wife, Lisa, are expecting a baby. Dealing with all of that has been quite stressful, but Miranda's been thinking about getting back into ice-skating, and she's spending plenty of time mooning over her current hero/crush, Olympic-hopeful Brandon Erlich, a hometown hero.
Miranda's also excited about the meteor that's headed towards the Moon. Some scientists predict a minor collision; teachers predict plenty of extra homework dealing with the subjects of both Moon and meteors. For Miranda and her family, and for millions of others around the world, it simply sounds like a cool event you'll get to watch from your front yard through a pair of binoculars.
What happens on that fateful night is something no one expected. The meteor does, in fact, collide with the Moon. However, the impact was stronger than anyone had previously thought possible, and immediately, all throughout planet Earth, the effects of that collision begin to be felt. Tides, which are controlled by the Moon, become erratic, causing deadly tidal waves. Fissures in the Earth's crust crack, causing earthquakes worldwide, even in places where no earthquakes had ever occurred before. Within twenty-four hours, it becomes apparent that thousands upon thousands of people have died, and that, with the Moon out of its normal orbit, many more deaths are sure to follow.
This may sound like a depressing story, but in fact it's a story about hope and survival. LIFE AS WE KNEW IT follows Miranda and her family through nearly a year after the meteor's collision with the Moon, and all of the events that come after it--the power outages, the food shortages, the weather changes, and the loss of human contact. As Miranda and her family come to grips with this new way of living, their bodies and spirits will be tested more than they've ever been before. But this is ultimately a story about learning to survive with what you've got, and never taking what you have for granted. A wonderful, inspiring story, LIFE AS WE KNEW IT is one you'll want to read more than once.

When you hire an artist to make something that has never been seen before, its generally a good idea to hire someone that can visualize it for you in several ways. Jeremy Cook tackles this challenge of visualization as a professional in concept art, modeling, and a matte painting. His work experience from ILM and Blur have also had the added benefit of putting him in the position of defining the visuals in movies such as Transformers, The Island, Day After Tomorrow, and Star Wars episode 3.
Can you give us a little info on who you are and what got you into this industry?
I was the quiet kid who could draw good. I was more interested in the space battles happening on my notebook covers than the history lesson I was supposed to be paying attention to. I was really into airplanes. Growing up in Alaska, I had no shortage of personal airshows, with Strategic Air Command not 15 miles away. I always loved special effects (then it was all practical effects and models) and always dreamed of doing that. I always figured If I did, it would be by building practical models. So I built models, lots and lots of models.
My family, especially my Dad, was always encouraging and supportive of my artistic ability all through school and college. With the almost divine intervention of CG in my younger professional career, I would be put on a path that would eventually allow me to do what I'd only dreamed about.
You made the jump from advertising/multi-media to entertainment art can you explain to us what some of the major differences were and how it impacted your art?
Moving from a primarily print, then "multimedia" driven industry to the entertainment industry felt like I'd discovered a gate to another universe in my back yard. Admittedly I was pretty young and naïve, but being exposed to that and seeing this whole other industry where artists get paid to do these amazing things was a pretty awesome moment in my life. It was pretty clear to me then what my future had to be.
I would say the biggest influencing factor from a production standpoint would be the tools and software. What we take for granted today with powerhouse computers, and the countless apps that make our lives (supposedly) easier was just not around then (or it existed in a MUCH lesser form). This was back in the day when "cut and paste" meant using an X-acto blade and Hot-Wax rollers.
How much did you hate advertising?
Haha, It wasnt so much the industry, but the circumstances I was in. I was in the midwest at that time and there were very few options for a young graphic artist. Like many people, going into the advertising/multi-media city of Chicago was "what you did" with an art degree. But I always felt like I should be doing more. I was always trying to make things more interesting (for myself mostly) Sometimes to the dismay of the client or boss of the day "…no, we cant do a space ship, this is for an insurance company!"
You mentioned that you were into building models as a kid and being inspired by Star Wars. Do you think that has contributed to your style and passion for complexity?
Most definitely. I think having the parts in front of you, assembling them and seeing how things really worked gave me a lot of reference and knowledge that I apply to my CG work today. Especially with mechanical things. I'm not saying I'm some ace Industrial engineer, but I know how landing gear works. I know how parts interact with each other each to accomplish some task or goal.
As for Star Wars, it's almost a cliché, but yeah, that film was a pretty big influence on my interest in art and life. I think a lot of people – doing what we do – can say that.
Matte painting, modeling, and concepts..do you just consider yourself a generalist? Is this the future of the modern concept artist?
I think all artists should know at least a little bit of the whole process. We should all have a little Generalist attitude in our palette of skills. Obviously the more things you can do, and do well, the more flexible you are and the more tools you have at your disposal. I didn't set out to learn all things with the intention of being the ultimate do-all artist. Honestly it's because I love it all, and the more I could do myself, the more I was able to do on a project. As I got better at more things, I found more independence, and the ability to get my own ideas out better and faster. That ability is what allowed me to move into more blue sky phase stuff, I think.
How did you land your first gig at Blur? What do you feel were some of the most important
lessons you learned while there?
When I'd read about Blur in an NT magazine way back in like '97/98-ish, they were this hot new studio in Venice. They were the bad boys of the industry and had the attitude to match. Their website even dropped the f-bomb, which I loved. It really was the only place I wanted to work at.
The job at Blur was such an incredible growth period in my career. I was like a sponge, trying to learn every piece of software I could get my hands on and every technique I could pick up. The projects were numerous and usually pretty fast paced, so you had to keep up or get trampled. It was that forge that expanded and focused my skills, teaching me a lot about being a good multi-tasker and most importantly grace under pressure. It was a hard job, but probably the most fun I'd ever had at the same time.
What was the experience of working on the project ( Star Wars) of your childhood dreams like?
Getting the job at ILM was a bitter sweet thing. On one hand I had to leave a studio that was more like a family than a job (Blur), and one I still loved at that. But on the other, I was being given the opportunity to work on the very IP that inspired me as kid. It was a pretty hard call. But I just couldn't pass up working on something that I treated like a religion as a kid after having such a huge impact on me.
What's it like being the new guy in a team like that? Once you payed your dues, what did you notice that set apart the senior staff at ILM
from the rookies?
My initial time at ILM, say the first month or so, I was on fanboy overload. Everywhere I went, I was meeting people who's names I'd seen in credits and film magazines all my life. Then you realize your actually supposed to be working and the reality sets in.
I had to do a little deprogramming of how I had worked previously, because now I was in an environment where the time was a lot longer for tasks, and 'the bar' was off the chart. You were given tasks with the unspoken mission of: "make something that's never been seen before, and people will be copying for the next 10 years". Plus any self inflicted pressure of "holy crap, I am working on Star Wars, this has to be amazing".
But that then fades too as the work piles up, and you see that it's just a project with a deadline like any other, with it's ups and downs. You just adapt, become better, and get it done. I think that was the biggest difference I saw between the more senior staff and rookies. The confidence, knowing what needs to be done and doing it with masterful, zen-like technique. ILM taught me how to be a better artist, with attention to detail and learning that sometimes you need to slow down and take the time to make something well. I like to think I picked up some of that 'Zen' while I was there.
Can you share your 'make transformer' plug How do you approach a design like Transformers that has a huge following but yet needed to be adapted to the big screen in a realistic way?
You would be amazed, I've actually been asked that. Its still in Beta, I'll let you know when I get it all finished up. Transformers was awesome to work on. Easily some of the most challenging modeling and matte painting I've ever done.
Getting to make some of the robots was a great experience, though scary as s#^t at first. When I saw the initial concepts for Megatron, or even the Endoskeleton, seeing their complexity, I had a full 'deer in the headlights' moment of, "are you kidding me? How am I going to make that?! " but, you settle into it, and take it one part at time. The decisions for the bots 'look' was out of my hands and we all knew the fan backlash was potentially huge with the radical change from old-school Transformers. But, and I hate to admit it, I wasn't super into Transformers as a kid, so I wasn't affected with the fanboy second guessing syndrome. I think that actually helped me to just concentrate on the task of making it instead of being caught up in an internal dialogue of "that's not right, no, no, that's not right either." sometimes a little detachment is good.
What were some of the important key factors for designing for film?
Film, games or whatever, good design is good design. I always try to employ a function dictates form approach. Keeping enough real world elements to make it believable and enough fantasy to keep it fresh and innovative. Even when I'm following someone else's concept there's usually a lot of gaps to fill in. Knowing how stuff works so your putting meaningful things in is pretty important; instead of just random filler that makes no sense. When I'm building something, I ask myself questions like; 'how would a workman get to that area', or 'what does this thing really do' things like that. I almost always have a little back story in my head about whatever it is I'm making at the time. It helps with ideas and lets me get into it more. Once you have a story in your head of 'what is does', 'what it looks like' become much easier to come up with.
You moved from Blur studios working on game cinematic to Film. What were some of the major differences in production like?
Just due to the nature of the projects and pipelines at both, differences really covered the whole spectrum. Neither better or worse than the other just different. Blur taught me speed, agility, and gave me Matrix style abilities to dodge problems before they hit me. Keeping cool under pressure and being a better leader. ILM was more about refinement and mastering the craft; helping me take my personal bar to heights I'd never experienced. Both taught me valuable lessons in how to a be better artist, in very different situations. I'm so grateful I got to do both.
Tim Miller is a tough guy, but runs a tight ship. What do you feel sets him apart in this industry and what was your personal experience like working with him?
Miller is a friend of mine. I looked up to him as a mentor at Blur for a lot of things both artistic and as a leader. He and I just clicked on ideas and I really liked working on projects with him. Sure he's tough, but it's meant to make you better. His heart is in the right spot. I think its rare when you find people in this industry who are willing to take a risk and can see your inner potential even before you do. I also think its rare to find people who are straight shooters and will say to your face that they don't like something. People react differently to that kind of honesty/candor, maybe that is what earned him his black sheep status. Me personally, I would rather be told something of mine sucks by someone I respect than candy coated just to "not offend".
Do you have any plans of your own for games or are you starting to feel the itch to get back into film?
Seriously, it's all cool. Both have their good and bad sides. I think I'd like to stick to what I like to do, which luckily, is common to both worlds. The idea phase, when your doing concepts, previz , writing up stories and laying it all out. I think I'm happiest at the tip of the spear.
After working on all three: films, games, and cinematics, what do you feel are unique elements for each that make successful pieces? How will the pipelines remain different. Where will we continue to see cross over?
You know, it seems like the three get closer and closer everyday. I would be pretty confident in saying game cinematics are becoming ever closer to Film pipelines in complexity and quality.
Films still edge the others out with the highest visual bar being the driving force behind the pipeline. So heavier meshes, higher resolutions of everything, Photo-real, matching live action plates, matching cameras. Etc etc.
Games are becoming more and more like movies in their look and story telling mechanics but it also has a whole different set of issues. You have things like programming, AI, Game balance, will it keep your attention for days? Weeks? Months? Is it Fun? And that's just the non visual side. Plus the technical limiting factor, EVERY poly, pixel and bit is planned for, monitored, and budgeted. It's like packing the ultimate car trunk for a road trip.
Cinematics are a nice bridge between the two. You have a short time to tell a story. It has to look amazing, ultimately promoting or generating interest in the game. You don't have to worry as much about technical specs. You also dont have to take the bar as high as film work, mostly due to the lack of live action plates and matching them.
None of them are easy, and we'll most definitely see them become more entwined.
You are now working as a freelance artist in Texas. Are you coming back to Los Angeles anytime soon? Have you gotten used to working from home as opposed to the environment of an artist in the studio?
I really miss California when I hear the snow reports for Tahoe. Being in an good, productive artist environment is great…but so is sitting in the peace and quiet of your own home office. It's been great for the last few years to have that freedom and be able to spend a lot of time with my daughter as she grows up. Texas does have it's upsides, cost of living being among the more obvious ones. But, I think I'll head back into the studio environment soon enough. Interacting with other artists is how you grow. Stay tuned on that one.
How do you maintain your eye without other artists in the studio to bounce concepts or critiques back and forth too?
It's definitely harder, but it can still be done. You need to be able to detatch yourself from a piece. And always be willing to throw it out. Sometimes, it's just bad and it needs to be euthanized. I see mostly younger artists work on a failing effort simply because they feel so vested in it and don't want to waste it. Better to kill it than nurse along something thats doomed.
Over the past few years, I've been interacting with a lot of my peers online as well, because outside opinion is pretty important. Many whom I've worked with in the past, and a few I've become friendly with from emails. Having someone to bounce ideas off or just as a set of fresh eyes is a pretty precious resource.
How do you see the value of experience within education?
A classroom can only teach you so much. You can certainly learn the tools, but the real world is where you learn the good stuff. This industry is as much about problem solving and managing chaos as it is learning the latest software. I would say the classes that I've seen formated more like a real production environment would get my vote over say just a spoon fed 'follow the syllabus' format. Anyone can read a manual.
I think things like these Master Classes and the classes here in general are great because your getting as much of the instructor's life experiences, pointing out the pitfalls and shortcuts, as you are the software instruction. And thats due to just straight up experience, there is no other way to get that value in education.
Are there any stories that you would like to see make it to the big screen?
I would love to see Peter Hamilton's Night's Dawn Trilogy (aka Reality Dysfunction) made into a feature film series. That is my all time favorite sci-fi space opera. It would be an insane budget because theres like 130 characters and takes place in 8 different planets, but would put most sci-fi series to shame if it was done right. It's a very long read, but well worth it.
Mr. Hamilton, …we need to talk.
What are some of the key elements you will be addressing in your master class demo?
I try to spend as much time talking about my thought process as I do software and technique. I truly believe people make more work for themsleves than they need to. It might sound like I am promoting laziness, but I'm not. More like; make every action count and learn to police yourself away from wasted effort.
I do show a lot of specific techniques I currently use in Modeling and Photoshop, but I'm hoping people pick up a little attitude/approach adjustment as well. If I can help someone to become a more efficient and productive artist, then the industry only benefits. I'm really looking forward to interacting with people on the forums, and learning a few things myself.
Jeremy Cook will be teaching an online master class for Gnomon from November 9th to the 23rd. His lecture is geared towards intermediate to beginner audiences. Covering how to make artists work more efficiently and make smarter decision. For more details on Jeremy Cook's upcoming Master Class, check out Gnomon School's website here.

Matt, I am glad I posted. I have always found that section of the data sheet a little confusing but what you say makes sense. At least I have not been using too little. But what about 4x5? This would mean each 4x5 sheet requires 1/4 as much, or only 1.5 ml per sheet! This is getting close to "development by faith alone." If that is the case, then it will have a big impact on just how much I have to load up the Jobo drums. This is good news.
On the other hand, it now seems like I have enough HC-110 to bequeath to my grandsons. I hope they don't just drink it.
