HP Slate 500 Car-Puter - Post your pictures here
My HP Slate 500 Car-Puter:
I bet I'm not the only one who's thought of doing this, with the 8.9" size of the Slate 500 and the number of applications designed for mobile use of a Windows PC. - With no football every Sunday afternoon for awhile now, it was no problem finding the time for this project. I was surprised at how easy it was to install a HP Slate 500 as a "Car-Puter" in my 2005 Cadillac CTS.
What you'll need:
Extra Slate 500 cradle (ordered from HP parts or the SMB store)
Additional Slate 500 30 W power supply (ordered from HP psrts or the SMB store)
Home Stereo speaker mounting kit (Ceiling mount).
Extra Machine screws for mounting
Phillips head screwdriver
Add-ons to increase the Slate 500's versatility when used in a mobile enviironment:
3G USB Data card (preferrably with support for voice calling)
Mobile connection software for use with the 3G USB data voice connection card.
Audio connection:
The Slate 500's bluetooth adapter connects effortlessly to the car stereo's bluetooth system, and works well for all audio functions (including voice calling using the data card connection) so there's no unsightly wiring needed for audio.
Power connection:
The jury's still out on this one: With the uniqueness of the power connector that's used to deliver the Slate 500 its power, I'm leaning towards using an original HP Slate 30 watt AC power supply purchased from the HP parts store, or from the SMB store and plugging it into an AC power iinverter. The inverter and extra cabling will be stashed behind the glove box.
Here's the Initial Pictires:

Years ago I installed a CarPC in my Mustang. It was cool to auto-sync music with my home network while pulling into the driveway. A few other things you may want...
1. Car Computer front-end software (Gives you nice big buttons for easy navigation while driving)
3. USB - OBD-II reader and supporting software (Gives you on-screen temps, MPG, RPM, MPH, Engine codes...)
4. USB - FM Radio
Also visit the forums at mp3car.com for help and ideas.

Re: HP Slate 500 Car-Puter - Post your pictures here
I'm sorry, but this idea is scary.
The last thing we need is more distracted drivers too busy browsing the web or watching a video to pay attention to the road.
Yes people will say "l'm only going to use it for navigation," but the temptation to lookup that restaurant or catch up on the Sunday football game while driving is just to great.
Also, many states have laws governing the size of driver viewable displays and what they can do.Samsung Smart PC Pro Tablet | Windows 8 Pro | 11.6" LED HD (1920x1080) | Intel Core I5 1.7ghz | 4GB RAM | 128GB SSD | Wacom (SPen) Digitizer | 1.9 lbs

So, sure, the laws aren't great, but if people won't stay focused behind the wheel then what are we supposed to do?

Traffic Deaths Lowest Since 1950
Re: HP Slate 500 Car-Puter - Post your pictures here
It doesn't take an intelligent person very long following a car driving erratic on the road to make a good guess that the driver of the car is most likely playing with a cell phone in some manner or drunk. During the day, most of the time its a cell phone. They are extremely distracting even for the best drivers.
Anyone who says otherwise can prove it on a test track and lose that bet every time.
As for traffic death statistics... kind of misleading. If you put 1950 cars on the road today, those statistics would jump right back up.
In reality, Cars are safer, have better protection, seat belts, air bags, anti-lock brakes etc... yet too many get killed still despite all those advancements. Many times it is the extra safety features that embolden drivers to do things they wouldn't normally do because they think they are safer.
Your statistics show just how badly people are actually driving now that they have safer cars that protect you from simple accidents that used to get you killed in the past. More people survive traffic accidents than in the past, so basing your point on only fatal statistics is very misleading. HP Slate 500 TabletPC

Re: HP Slate 500 Car-Puter - Post your pictures here
This thread on mp3car.com does a good job of breaking down the legality of having a large screen in your car. The bottom line (at least in Texas) is that you should not play videos while driving. The fact that the Slate 500 does not even have a DVD drive helps a lot in this argument. Many GPS's and pimp-out stereos have LCD screens with animations, on-screen buttons. I still say, if you investigate some of the cool front ends designed for car PC's you will not be distracted when driving and will not be breaking any laws.
If someone knows of a state that actually has a law limiting the LCD screen size of your stereo or specifically calls out dash-board mounted computers... that would be good to know.

Microsoft's January patch MS12-004 addressed a few vulnerabilities in Windows Media components. One particular issue, CVE-2012-0003, can be exploited via Windows Media Player ActiveX, as it leverages a heap overflow occurring in 'midiOutPlayNextPolyEvent' function within the Windows Multimedia Library, winmm.dll. The bad guys didn't waste time and this vulnerability is now exploited in the wild as reported by Trend Micro. A Web page hosted on a South Korean site loads a maliciously crafted MIDI file and sprays the heap. The attacker utilizes the exploitation method presented in Nicolas Joly's blog from VUPEN. The attack allocates an HTML element of a specific size and eventually overwrites some of its data, and thus achieves malicious code execution.
The author of this page used a Korean JavaScript obfuscator in order to obfuscate a large block of code which hides the shellcode, as can be seen in the following code snippet. In particular, the obfuscated code, generated by this tool, changes itself several times during execution.
Then the shellcode imports and calls URLDownloadToFileA to download the payload which is a packed executable, saving it with an ambiguous name such as "a.exe".
The executable is a downloader which fetches additional malware with rootkit capabilities. The author of the attack did a decent job obfuscating the executable file, as can be seen by a Virustotal analysis:
All M86 Secure Web Gateway customers are protected from this attack by default without need to install any security update.

Australian Bungalow with a Modern Addition
A surprisingly modern addition transforms an 1880 bungalow in Adelaide, Australia, into a spacious and sensuous abode.
Looking at the traditional Victorian facade of Kylie Brammy and George Kyprianou's home, you would never imagine it hid such a voluptuous and modern derrière. Physiotherapist Brammy and entrepreneur Kyprianou bought the North Adelaide house in 1999 because they loved its charm and location on the city fringe, close to parkland. Less desirable was its tiny kitchen, dark living spaces, and badly positioned toilet, just three feet from the dining table. Engaging both an architect and an interior designer to collaborate on a renovation and two-story extension, the couple managed to open up the interior and transform the back of the house into an improbably airy and light-filled retreat.
The rear of the original house was very dark, and functionally, the space just didn't work. We love having friends and family over for dinner, but the tiny galley kitchen was only just big enough for two people to walk sideways past each other. There was only one bathroom—right next to the dinner table—so it was a bit uncomfortable when guests had to use it! We decided to open the whole rear of the house right up; it's north facing, which here in Australia gives you beautiful sunshine all day long. We could see the potential in having a big, tall glass structure to let all the light and warmth in.
Around 2005 we approached Phil Harris from Troppo Architects, but they were too busy to take on a job with our modest budget. A couple of years later, we stayed in a Troppo-designed eco-resort in Broome; it had all the qualities we liked—sustainability, space, light, and ventilation. So Kylie called Phil again, and this time he agreed to come out and see us.
We bonded straight away. Unlike other architects we'd met, who came with their own set ideas, Phil sat down and asked us what we wanted. He came back with a little story he wrote about us—what we liked and who we were—so we were pretty chuffed. At that point we felt really comfortable with him, and he felt comfortable with us. We worked together really well.
Early on, Phil came up with the design that you see now. The original part of the house is only 20 feet wide, so we extended an additional three feet out to the boundary, which gave us room to put a light-filled guest bathroom and laundry in the middle of the original part of the house. The master bedroom floats on a mezzanine in the void above the living area, with a spacious en suite [bathroom] tucked behind it. To meet the local heritage requirements we had to mirror the roofline of our neighbors on the laneway side of the house, so the extension has a unique asymmetrical shape.
We also hung on to some original features of the house, like the historic facade and the original chimney. Our builder did a great job keeping the existing chimney upright when the walls came down around it. We love its wonky shape.
Brammy: I sensed the soul of the house the moment I walked through the front door at the first inspection. It had a story to tell—of happy lives and families—and we are continuing that story. As a physiotherapist, I realize the importance of life balance and our home helps to give this to us. It is simple, open, and flexible, and it supports our casual lifestyle.
Soil space is limited on our lot so I grow my veggies "secretly" among the other landscaping plants. I've planted lemons and oranges, espaliered along the fence that extends out behind the barbecue. I love our pool—it provides a "yin" element of cooling, moistening, and grounding to the house, in contrast to the warm and dry materials we've used elsewhere. I can actually touch the water from inside through the sash window at the end of the bench seat, which gives me a sense of serenity. Being connected to the environment is important to me.
Every time of the day feels beautiful here. In the winter, I try to be home for a few hours midday to enjoy the sunshine that streams in below the giant eave. We positioned the window seat in the northeast corner of the window so that as the sun goes down it catches the last rays. I often read there. When I stop and am still, the dogs love it, lying down below me on the floor.

- May I study abroad at any time during my academic career? Loyola students must earn at least 30 hours of semester credit before beginning a study abroad program.
In addition, studying abroad during the semester before you graduate is difficult. The program may not be able to report your grades in time for you to graduate.
Check with your academic advisor regarding residency requirements for your degree.
- Will the grades from my study abroad program apply to my Loyola GPA? Because you must register through Loyola for the John Felice Rome Center, The Beijing Center, the reciprocal exchange programs, USAC programs, IES programs, the affiliate programs and Loyola's own summer abroad programs, your grades from these programs will apply to your Loyola GPA (UGPA).
If you attend a program not approved by OIP, your grades from that program for approved courses will be considered transfer grades and will apply only to your University Total GPA (UTOT).
- How will my credits from study abroad apply to my degree program? For Loyola-approved programs, courses may automatically count as general electives unless you get them approved to count toward major, minor or core requirements. See our on-line database of pre-approved courses, or get new courses approved through the study abroad course approval process. Work closely with your college advisor as you prepare for study abroad to determine what degree requirements you may need to meet while abroad.
- I'm a graduate student at Loyola. May I study abroad? Some Loyola departments have organized study abroad programs specifically for graduate students. For more information, see Loyola School/Department Programs.
- I'm a transfer student at Loyola. May I study abroad? Yes, as long as you meet the basic requirements for eligibility and have completed at least one full academic semester at Loyola before participation in your chosen study abroad program.
- I'm an international student at Loyola. Can I study abroad? Yes. Check with your international student advisor about how you can study abroad.
- I'm a permanent resident of the U.S. What about me? Yes, if you meet the basic requirements for eligibility.
You may have additional entry requirements for your study abroad country, so check with the nearest consular office of your host country to determine whether you need a visa to enter, even if U.S. citizens do not. Please don't let this requirement deter you from considering study abroad.
- I would like to find an internship abroad. Can OIP help me with that? OIP does have some information about completing internships abroad for academic credit. Most internships are offered as a course option that is taken with a full course load of study classes although there are some stand alone internships offered over the summer. For more information, visit Internships Abroad.
- How many semesters can I spend abroad? The OIP policy is that students can spend two semesters and unlimited summer sessions abroad during their time as an undergraduate. Students who wish to study abroad for a third semester can submit an appeal to OIP.

Here's a flashback post from May 24, 2007. But, there's a game at the bottom of this post to play today!
Well I do.
Because I really stink at them.
Except for kick ball.
I was so good at that game, I have vivid memories of being the first person picked by the team captains…heck…I was so good at kick ball, I usually WAS the team captain.
So I guess up until about fourth grade, I rocked at sports.
Except for that awful part of PE every year when they make you do as many pull ups as you can in one minute.
I never could do one.
Not one.
I was sure there was something medically wrong with my arms...or really my arm pits, because that's where it hurt. I'm also pretty sure I lied to everyone and told them that was the case, since my inability to do anything but plummet to the ground when the coach blew on her whistle was mortifying to me.
I remember being in about eighth grade, well into the years of feeling horrible because I had no athletic skills, daydreaming about starting a marketing campaign to bring back kick ball in junior high.
This was right after I went from the A team in volleyball to the B team and then to the C team all in one week. I began fantasizing about kick ball coming back after the jr. high coach told me, upon demoting me three times in one week, that I got on the A team because I looked athletic and I was good friends with all the A team girls, but that I really needed some practice and determination if I was going to climb the volleyball ladder.
It hurt at the time, but now I know that she-man guy lady was a prophet. She was just predicting a life as an actress…someone who could look the part and play the part…just not hit a real ball over a real net.
How could I make kick ball a junior high thing?
I had lots of ideas.
I wanted to make posters of myself holding a kick ball, smiling with my colorful braces, lion mane hair, and scattered acne, giving a big thumbs up.
Under my picture would read:
Kick Ball
It's for
Kool Kids
Kick Ball
I tried to figure out which celebrities I should write to who would help me usher in the kick ball madness in my middle school.
I was a big fan of writing celebrities at that age, because when the TV people quit showing Private Benjamin, I got so upset about it I told one of my teachers, and she told me to write to the show, sharing my disappointment. They sent me a big picture of Goldie Hawn and told me they were sorry, but now Ghostbusters, the cartoon, would be coming on every day at the time when I normally ate jalapeño chips and watched that mean lady yell at funny Private Benjamin. Private Benjamin was my hero because she stunk at things like sweating and running.
Maybe funny Private Benjamin would hold a kick ball and smile on my poster. This could work.
No wonder I don't know when to use me or I in sentences. I'm sure my teachers taught me…unfortunately, I was starting kick ball revolutions in my mind.
But you know what I was wicked good at growing up?
Unfortunately, having mean typing skills is not something public schools celebrate or applaud. I never got to be voted, "Most Likely to Become a Transcriptionist or a Court Reporter." Maybe that's why we homeschool. I'm sure that's what I would find out if I went to counseling.
When girls would make laps around me on the track…and I mean, even the big girls ran circles around me…it was all I could do to keep myself from shouting, "Yeah…so…I can keyboard! And I don't mean keyboard as in the cool music one...I mean the computer one!"
When girls would spike volleyballs towards me and I would run out of the way, never ever considering that I should run towards that fast moving object, instead of away from it, I wanted to yell back at the coach standing on the side lines, "Stop screaming at me! Maybe I stink at this…but I can type fast!"
When I hit 8 people in a row because everyone who could pitch on my softball team was absent, to cheer myself up as I walked off the field, I kept saying, "Maybe you can't throw a ball straight…but come on…no one can do Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing like you can, Heather. NO ONE!"
If the world only knew.
I'm sure it was wrong to daydream about a terrorist taking over my school, and the only reason why we all got to see our parents and eat pizza again was because I could type crazy fast letters to the outside world before the gunmen came back into the room where we were being held hostage. I'm sure it was wrong to imagine all the popular athletes hugging me and thanking God for my fast fingers.
It might not have been wrong, but it was definitely cheesy, to imagine my story of saving my school with my computer clickety-clacking skills being made into a movie…and having the credits at the end of the movie rolling over a picture of me, holding out my amazing, swift typing hands. The girl who would play me in the movie would have pretty hands...because mine look like a short granny's hands.
One time, on a college paper, I wrote at the top:
I should get extra credit because not only is this a great paper, I also typed it very fast. The professor added a point. No joke.
Because of my love of keyboarding, I have gotten my older boys addicted to this site:
Free Typing Games
We have competitions. What I really want to do is have people over for a typing tournament complete with a bracket up on a dry erase board. No one seems as excited about this as I do though.
If you are bored today and want to take us on, then bring it sucka!
Go here. Take test #26 Classic Tales.
Then tell us your high score.
Mine is 93 words per minute.
Every time I get in the 90's I do the Turk Dance:

At this point, we're not holding out judgement on any of these kinds of films, hell, these are :30 second Super Bowl spots. The idea is definitely: have a beer, lean back and enjoy yourself, right? But, gotta say, the trailer for Kenneth Branagh's "Thor" is definitely less impressive than "Captain America," "Battle: Los Angeles" and hell, even "Transformers 3."
Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Stellan Skarsgard, Jaimie Alexander, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Josh Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba, Clark Gregg, and Colm Feore, "Thor" hits theaters on May 6th, 2011. Maybe we're not blown away because the footage doesn't seem that new. Or maybe it's just because it looks like an odd melange of sci-fi, Shakespearian deity mumbo jumbo and earthbound love stories.
Peter | February 15, 2011 10:57 AM
It's a 30 second long trailer! Reserve judgement until you've seen the film.

Finally, someone else feels the same way that I do. Thankyou Cirkusfolk! I have been saying that it looks cheesy and cheap like Clash of the Titans. I don't see how people can compare this to Iron Man at all. All of the characters in this movie and the scenery look like plastic to me. Everything about this movie screams cheesy and cheap.
cirkusfolk | February 7, 2011 4:04 AM
This looks horribly cheesy and more along the lines of Clash of the Titans than Iron Man. Gonna suck.

Thread: Joey Browner
Joey Browner
[size=18px]Browner made his own name at Southern Cal [/size]
By Steve Megargee, Rivals.com
College Football Staff Writer
Did you ever wonder what became of your favorite college football stars from yesteryear? Did you think about how often they're reminded of their crowning achievements?
Wonder no more.
Rivals.com is spending the summer tracking down some of the college players who delivered the most memorable moments of the last generation.
These moments all occurred a while ago, yet the events may as well have taken place yesterday. The moments are still that fresh in the minds of each player.
They are often asked about the seasons that made them famous. And they're only too happy to share their memories.
Joey Browner, Southern California defensive back
Name: Joey Browner
Age: 46
Residence: Pierz, Minn.
Claim to fame: Browner was a four-year letterman as a defensive back at USC. He holds the distinction of being on Trojans teams that won four consecutive games against rival Notre Dame from 1979-82. He earned the first start of his collegiate career in the Rose Bowl at the end of his freshman season. USC won that game 17-10 over Michigan. Browner also played on a Rose Bowl champ in 1980 when the Trojans beat Ohio State, 17-16.
He had the distinction of playing with two Heisman Trophy winners, Charles White and Marcus Allen. Browner was one of the captains on the 1982 team, and he was named All-Pac 10 that season. The team did not play in a bowl game his senior year because of NCAA sanctions (the team went 8-3). He played his entire career for coach John Robinson. Browner was taken in the first round of the 1983 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings.
How often you're reminded of your college career: "Regularly. The rivalry with Southern Cal and Notre Dame is what keeps it alive the most. That gets brought up every year."
Memories of his college career: "I wanted to go somewhere where my brothers were not at. When you're a child and you have older brothers who are successful you want to try to make your own way. I wanted to make my own footsteps on the gridiron. The logical thing was to go somewhere else (and not follow his older brothers to Notre Dame). Southern Cal was one of those schools that had everything I was looking for, which was playing on television at least four times a year. It also had a lot of great talent and I knew I'd have a chance to compete at the highest level.
"I was there with two Heisman Trophy winners, Marcus Allen and Charles White. I got a chance to play with Bruce Matthews, who is one of the great offensive linemen of all time. I played in the same secondary with Ronnie Lott and Dennis Smith. A lot of guys I played with went on to have great pro careers. These were the elite athletes of that time. And because of my experiences there it allowed me to go on and have a chance to play pro ball, and Coach Robinson had prepared me to be able to go into a pro system and flourish in it.
"We were one of the only classes to beat Notre Dame four straight years (in fact this past season's seniors became just the third class to accomplish the feat). It is bragging rights in the family somewhat, but we don't talk about it much because they (Browner's older brothers Ross and Jim) were already done with their careers in South Bend. It was just about being in school and being successful and then having an opportunity to get in the draft.
"Playing in the Rose Bowl definitely sticks out. Getting to start as a freshman in the Rose Bowl was quite an experience. Then the next year Charles White put on a show and we won it again (White gained a Rose Bowl record 247 yards). That was the year my mother was able to make it to the game, so that one will always be special.
Pro career: Browner made six consecutive Pro Bowls as a safety for the Minnesota Vikings (1985-90). He played for the Vikings for nine seasons before finishing up his career with one year at Tampa Bay (1992). He was known as one of the best and surest tacklers in pro football, posting seven consecutive seasons with 100-plus tackles. Browner also was honored by being named to broadcaster John Madden's "All-Madden Team" four times.
What he's doing now: "I work with SkyLearn (the corporate headquarters is in Bloomington, Minn.). We have software for kids who are lacking in school and need extra tutoring. The software helps evaluate the child then teaches them how to catch up to their grade. There's math, English and now there's a science program. We have K-12. The parents can use it also to learn the methods that are being taught now for math, and they can see what the kids are doing and re-educate themselves."

Kyle Kingsbury took a beating early at the hands and feet of Octagon newcomer Jimi Manuwa at UFC on FUEL TV 5: "Struve vs. Miocic," which took place earlier today at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England.
It was so bad, in fact, that by the time "Kingsbu" somehow managed to come out for the second round, he was fighting with a broken face (see the pic here). That's right, Manuwa -- who was actually a body builder before turning to mixed martial arts (MMA) several years ago -- was hurling bone-breaking strikes that most likely would have stopped large livestock.
But, not the hulking 6'4" Kingsbury, who took a lickin' and kept on tickin.' The American Kickboxing Academy (AKA)-trained fighter would have even come out for a third and final round had the ringside physician not rightfully called a halt to the 205-pound battle.
Kingsbury shares via Twitter:
"Good stoppage.... Although I wanted a 3rd round, MRI just confirmed multiple fractures above the eye and nose."
Good stoppage, indeed.
Manuwa infamously turned down two separate offers to compete for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), revealing later (when he did ink a deal) that he wanted to be certain that he was ready for the big show. If his powerful performance this afternoon is any indication, it's pretty safe to say that the rest of the Light Heavyweight division could be hurting real soon.
That Jimi Manuwa is no joke. And, apparently, neither is the grit and grizzle of Kyle Kingsbury. Expect him to be sidelined for many months much like Josh Koscheck was after Georges St. Pierre broke his face.

'A Charlie Brown Christmas':
A Charlie Brown Christmas debuted to top ratings in December 1965. Coca-Cola had requested a Christmas special after seeing a two-minute documentary that included Peanuts animation, including the now-famous "Linus and Lucy" song by Vince Guaraldi.
So, in a fit of rebellion and compassion, Charlie Brown chooses a sad, sparse little tree as the Christmas tree for the show. Though they initially criticize Charlie Brown for his choice, the cast comes to realize what a nice little tree it is, culminating in the entire group singing "Hark the Herald Angels Sing."
This holiday classic cartoon contains several iconic images: the cast dancing wildly to Schroeder's (Vince Guaraldi's) "Linus and Lucy" theme; Snoopy perched atop his lavishly decorated dog house; Linus spotlighted on stage as he recites the Christmas story from the Bible; the moment when the spindly tree flops over, and finally, when all the children face the skies with their mouths forming tiny o's as they sing.
Characters and Cast:
My Two Cents:
Nothing gives me Christmas chills (which are quickly dissipated with a warm mug of cocoa) like hearing "Christmas Time Is Here" and watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. No other animated TV holiday special comes close to capturing the message, the spirit and warmth of Christmas. A Charlie Brown Christmas has been enjoyed for generations, and will be for years to come.

Actor Alan Rickman is due to appear on the Canadian talk show "The Hour" airing tonight on CBC at 11pm (EST). This appearance is most likely due in conjunction with the release of his new film "Perfume," however it is possible he will also mention his role as Professor Severus Snape in the upcoming Order of the Phoenix movie. Regardless, this is a rare chance to see the actor on television, as he does not do many interviews. Anyone who is able to get video of this, please send it in!
Thanks Alandry!
UPDATE: The video of the entire interview is on line via the CBC website. To watch this very good, 15 minute interview, click here.

Hi. You don't know me and I don't know you. Still, I have been watching you.
Not in a creepy way! Just noticing you and praying for you. See, I know how hard it is to walk into a gym. Everybody looks like the cover models for Men's Health or Women's Fitness. TTTH. Tanned. Toned. Totally hot. It is enough to make even the most confident among us hide in the locker room.
I am going to tell you a secret. The hardest part of working out is wading through the masses of beautiful people. A word of caution- don't gaze upon their beauty to long. You might start feeling inferior. Just hold your head up high. Look straight ahead and walk to the machine you have chosen.
Ask for help when you need it. You actually draw more attention to yourself trying to wing it on your own. In the off chance that you fall off the rowing machine, just remember to laugh. Roll over. Get back up and try it again. Next time use those foot straps. That is what they are for.
Some folks might be snotty. Hostile even. As though you are Satan himself because you are on "their" treadmill. People get weird about that kind of thing. They spend a lot of time on a machine. Sweating, praying. A kind of relationship develops. The person wants it to be exclusive, not realizing the machine is just doing it's job. Nothing personal. So when Mr. Biceps or Miss Ab's see you on "their" machine, it is only natural they feel irritated. Don't take it personally. In a few months from now you may be having a one-sided relationship of your own.
Stop pulling on your clothes dear. It makes you stand out. Wear clothes that fit. Not clothes you wish would fit. Trust me. You will feel better if you can move in your pants. Same with shirt. A misguided error of those who weigh more than average is that by wearing form fitting clothing one looks smaller. It's a myth. I know. :) Pick nice clothes that are flattering on you. Not the "Biggest Loser Fantasy" you.
Remember, it isn't high school. It's a gym. You are there to work out. Not to be "seen". No one is looking at you. They are busy. Working out and worrying if someone is looking at them. :)
Don't be a hater. Yes there are incredible humans crawling all over the gym. Gorgeous. A few were born with it. Most have worked for it. Be happy for them. If you can't be gracious on your own, pray for God to help you.
Don't envy. Thou shall not covet the neighbors pec's. Nor glutes. Nor ab's. Focus on being healthy. Not looking like _____. You are not a number on a scale. Your life in not measured by inches lost or gained. You are God's beloved creation. His masterpiece.
Keep coming. In a few weeks, you will be sore. Maybe a little or a lot discouraged. Not to mention the droning questions from well meaning, and not so well meaning, friends and family members. For some reason, when people find out you go to a gym, they always ask the same question- "How much weight have you lost?" As though, just by signing the contract you automatically loose five pounds as a bonus!
Don't slap them. I know it would feel really good, but don't. Pity them instead. They have bought into our culture's obsession with numbers. Which is ridiculous and dangerous. Take a deep breath and say "I am focused on being healthy. Not numbers." It is okay to sound a little superior when you say this. You have my permission. This will either end or seriously curb their obsession with your progress.
The most important thing to remember is to be grateful. Thank God you can move. Pray as you run. Exercise can be a spiritual discipline. A chance to be mentally quiet and still while moving. Worship.

Use Insect Dust to eliminate crawling insects around your home. Our natural diatomaceous earth comes from the natural fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. Diatom particles are very small and sharp – but only harmful to the exoskeletons of insects. When insects crawl over diatomaceous earth, the tiny diatom particles cut into the waxy coating of insects and they die from dehydration within 48 hours. Insects cannot become immune to its action as it is a mechanical killer – not a chemical one.
Insect Dust is an EPA registered natural insecticide. Safe to use around your family and pets - it can be rubbed right into your pet's fur.
Insect Dust kills the following insects:
- Fleas
- Ants
- Cockroaches
- Bed bugs
- Ticks
- Silverfish
- Beetles
- Earwigs
- Wood bugs (pill bugs)
- Crickets
- Spiders
- Aphids
- Spider mites
- Flies
- Stink Bugs
- Tomato hornworm
- Slugs
For Indoor Use:
Lightly coat a thin layer in areas where insects are found or may hide. For example: kitchen cupboards, behind and under appliances, baseboards, or drain pipes. For carpets, lightly sprinkle the insect dust over the carpet, and leave for 2-3 days before vacuuming.
Leave the insect dust in place until you no longer see any signs of insects in that area, at which point you can clean it up.
Thoroughly dust carpets and pet's bedding or sleeping areas, as well as cracks and baseboards. It can be rubbed into your pet's fur.
Take apart bed and dust joints and channels. Dust any hollow tubing and the interior framework as well as the mattress and all cracks in the room. Use a turkey baster or duster to apply clouds of the dust over the affected area. Leave the dust to do its job for a few days. It is still safe to sleep in your bed even while the dust is present.
Lightly dust under the sink, inside drawers, or along the baseboards, and wherever else silverfish are found.
Carpet Beetles
Thoroughly dust along baseboards, carpet edges, under furniture, carpet, and rugs, and in closets and shelving.
For Outdoor Use:
Lightly coat a thin layer where insects are found. Areas such as patios, porches, window sills, door frames, foundations, drain pipes, and pools. Apply as a barrier around plants, trees and vegetables gardens. You need to reapply insect dust after heavy rainfall.
Fire Ants
Sprinkle diatomaceous earth directly on the ant mound, or mix with water to saturate the mound. It can also be sprinkled along ant trails. The ants will track the DE back to their nests where the colony will be exposed to its abrasive action.
Thoroughly dust areas where flies gather (livestock pens, kennels, corrals etc.). It also can be applied to livestock coat as a contact insecticide. DE can also be added to food for pets and livestock. DE helps as a deworming agent for livestock, and it ends up in their dung. Flies lay eggs on the dung which hatch into maggots, which are then killed by the DE. Effective method for fly control, especially on farms and homesteads.
Slugs, earwigs, and other garden pests
Apply as a barrier around plants and garden beds. For best results, reapply after rain. If diatomaceous earth washes into the soil it will continue to benefit your garden by retaining water for future slow release into the soil. OMRI Listed for use in organic agriculture.
Lice control for chickens
Lice are a common scourge around chickens and can lower their vitality resulting in fewer eggs and low disease resistance. Set a "dusting box" of DE in the corner of the coop and the chickens will continually apply themselves with DE. This will reduce or eliminate lice within a few days.

Environmental Health Coalition refers to Diatomaceous Earth as one of the least toxic insecticides for household pest control. As an EPA-registered insecticide, it is required to have a generic health warning on the label, despite its safety.
Please note: Insect Dust Diatomaceous Earth should not be confused with "Pool Grade" diatomaceous earth for pools or water filtration systems. Pool Grade DE has been heat treated, causing the formerly amorphous silicon dioxide to become crystalline, and it is not safe or effective for household pest control.

Questions about the Insect Dust Diatomaceous Earth - 4.4 lb
- From Tammy at 7/18/14 8:53 AM
- From Dee at 7/10/14 1:02 PM
- I live in an apartment near a lake on the first floor and I have earwigs all over my porch. I have an 8 month old baby and was wondering if this is a safe product to use right outside my front door.
- Yes. DE is a good solution for your situation. It is safe if the baby comes into contact with it, it will not harm or pollute the lake water, and it is effective against earwigs.
DE is not a spot killer. It will take a few days before you notice the earwig population reduce. Be persistent and reapply DE if you think it needs it (e.g. if it rained and washed off some of the DE). Over time, you can reduce the earwig population to near zero.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Amber at 6/26/14 6:44 PM
- Since DE is also microscopic, does it work on chiggers? We cleared out an area of our "north 40" and now have a tire swing on a large tree for our toddler. When our there recently, we all got eaten up by chiggers, so we want a natural remedy that will knock them out, but still be safe enough for our daughter, dogs, and surrounding plants.
- Yes, DE is an effective treatment which will kill chiggers. Broadcast it in areas where you see chigger activity; for effectiveness they need to come into direct contact with the DE. After rain it will diminish in effectiveness, but this will be restored as it dries. Try to locate the DE where strong winds will not displace it. It is better to place DE in a thicker amount in selected areas than with a thin application broadcast widely.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Courtney at 6/17/14 2:17 AM
- If I sprinkle this on my carpets after vacuuming is it safe for me to walk around barefoot in my place until the next time I vacuum it up, or should I wear something to protect my feet until I no longer need to use this product?
- You can walk barefoot on the carpet after dusting with DE, you will not even feel it. DE looks and feels like talcum powder.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Julie at 6/3/14 3:21 AM
- Does Insect Dust contain any trace of crystalline silicon dioxide? I've read that some diatomaceous earth insect repellent products contain a small amount and that it can be harmful to pets if inhaled.
- Food grade DE is safe for pets. "Pool grade", DE however, is calcined, meaning that is treated with very high heat. This turns the silicon dioxide that is present in the DE into crystalline silica. Pool grade diatomaceous earth has more than 1 percent crystalline silica. Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth, on the other hand, has less than 1% crystalline silica and is not calcined.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

- From john at 3/14/14 10:35 AM
- From Ginger at 12/16/13 10:53 AM
- We just bought a home and have seen a few large roaches. (Or palmetto bugs as they refer to them here in FL) I want to use this to kill off the roaches and also keep other spiders/bugs away. I read through several pages of Q&A and found that it won't hurt lizards (which is very important to my kiddos), but have not seen anything in regards to frogs. We have some awesome Cuban tree frogs that live in our cable boxes on our house right outside our doors. Do you know if frogs/toads are safe around the DE? thanks so much!
- DE will not harm frogs, snakes or earthworms. The tiny sharp diatoms scratch the insects waxy coating resulting in dehydration.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Laurie at 11/7/13 12:33 PM
- Hello. I was going to ask about safety to my turtles, and see that someone already asked. Have you gotten any further info on this from customers? I have several and they will be in the yard.
Also, does DE work in cold weather? I want to treat my backyard and if so, how to spread it, or should I lay out "lines" of it?
- We have no aadditional information about the safety of turtles exposed to DE. However, we feel it is unlikely they will be adversely affected.
Yes, DE will work in cold weather, but if it becomes frozen it will lose effectiveness until thawed. If you are treating your yard as a flea control measure, then it can be broadcast. But when broadcast, its effectiveness can be compromised by wind which may disperse it, and rain. If you are wanting to use DE to prevent insects from entering your home, then it is best to apply it in lines in areas where insects frequent or where they may try to access the indoors.
When you are cleaning house. look for evidence of insect activity such as bits of insect debris. This will help you zero in on the best locations to apply DE.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

- From angela at 10/31/13 6:32 PM
- I live in an apartment and have a dog. is this safe to put in my cabinets as they go all the way to the ceiling? also my dog has sensitive skin and allergic to fleas. is this safe to put on him?
- It is safe to put DE in your cabinets, but it only makes sense if you have bug activity in the cabinets, which is not usually the case. You can put DE anywhere you suspect that bugs will come into contact with it. Just try to place DE in spots where the vacuum will not pick it up during routine house cleaning.
If your dog has skin sensitivity issues, then it is a safe practice to try applying a small amount of DE to one area of the dog's fur. Watch for any possible reaction. As a general rule, it is safe to use DE on pets, but in your case it's best to take a cautious approach.

The ship was well laid out. I really like the ship of the ship( almost 90.000 tons) Sometimes the bigger ships are just to crowded. The ship has 3 pools( 1 covered),9 hole mini-golf, basketball court, and water slide.
Our cabin( #1175) was an outside oceanview on deck 1. The room was below the casino but we did not hear any noise coming from there. The room was very roomy for 3 people. There are soap and shampoo in the showers. The only problem we had was an odor/stain on the carpet. We told the steward and he had the carpet shampooed within 30 mins. Great Job
The food was above average. The meals in the MDR were good but they could of been bigger. They had the same meals on the right side of the menu but the left side had different things everyday. DAVIDS STEAKHOUSE is a MUST. The food and service were fantastic. Our MDR waiters(Sushi, Iwayne,Adbi) were great. They were very personable and took care of my 10yr old son.
As for the ports--GRAND TURK is beautiful. Margarita ville is near the ship and they have a huge pool and beach. We did the snorkeling/beach adventure with Oasis Divers--This is a must. Capt Mark and crew know how to throw a party on the boat. HALF MOON CAY-- is the prettiest private island that I have been on. It is better that Disneys. My son and I did the horse back riding. We loved it. The sand on this island is like sandbox sand--so soft. The only thing that could of been better is if the ship would dock there instead of the tenders that they use.
This is my 2nd Carnival cruise and I would not hesitate to go back. Great Job--Keep up the great work, Carnival.

Israel isolates 125,000 Palestinians from Jerusalem
MEMO | December 30, 2011
The Jerusalem-based Human Rights Centre has warned that Israel's municipality has already started to apply its policy of isolating Palestinian districts from the rest of the city. In fact, claims the Centre, the process began two years ago. "The plans of Israeli Mayor Nir Barkat, suggest that the isolation of some Palestinian neighbourhoods are in fact old plans which were raised for the first time two years ago," the HRC told Quds Press.
In a statement, the HRC pointed out that this includes the exclusion of Jerusalem residents through the withdrawal of their residence permits; since the Israeli occupation of East Jerusalem started in 1967, 14,266 Palestinians have had their permits withdrawn.
The Centre noted that over the past two years it has received complaints from citizens of Jerusalem who live in the neighbourhoods in question that the occupation authorities have not been issuing local tax demands, claiming that they "live outside the wall" and "are, therefore, no longer in Jerusalem".

Pillar of Defense: A Murderous Fraud
Will the truce last?
By Gulamhusein A. Abba | Dissident Voice | November 26, 2012
On Wednesday, November 12, Israel deliberately provoked Hamas by breaking a two day long truce, carrying out some 20 airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, the heaviest barrage on the Palestinian territory in four years, and, for good measure, to make sure the provocation worked, assassinating Gaza's supreme military commander Ahmed Jabari.
It killed him even though it was he that was mainly responsible for arranging the release of Shalit, even though his interest in entering into a long-term truce agreement had been communicated to Israeli authorities.
When Gaza, as expected, responded with a fresh barrage of rockets, Israel used that as an excuse to continue its murderous attack on Gaza and launched its Operation Pillar of Defense. … continue

Coyotes' 5-3 loss to the Ducks: By the numbers
Originally published: Jan 11, 2014 - 8:49 pm
Facing the NHL's best squad and their Pacific Division rivals, the Coyotes fell flat in a 5-3 loss at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks.
Here's a look back at the two-goal defeat by the numbers:
Back-up goaltender Thomas Greiss got the nod in net against Anaheim, but his night wouldn't last long. Greiss allowed four goals before being pulled midway through the second period for Mike Smith.
The loss marked Greiss' first at home this season in four appearances.
Lauri Korpikoski recorded his second goal in his last three games, but surprisingly it didn't lead to any points for Phoenix.
In fact, Korpikoski has had a point in 10 different games this season, and Saturday was just the second time the Coyotes came up empty-handed in the standings.
Anaheim's three-goal spurt in the second frame changed the complexion of the contest -- a trend that has become almost common place during the Coyotes' recent home stand. In each of its last three losses, Phoenix has allowed at least three goals in one period.
Anaheim has been the league's most dominant team to date, but no more so than when it faces Phoenix. In 2013-14, the Ducks finished a perfect 4-0-0 against the Coyotes.
The Ducks have allowed the opposing team to score first in each of their last five games. In all five games, however, Anaheim has come back and won.
Martin Hanzal had a goal and an assist in a losing effort, giving him six points during Phoenix's six-game home stand.
Radim Vrbata didn't light the lamp in the loss, but he did have three helpers for the third time in 2013-14. With those three assists, Vrbata moved into a team-lead with 34 total points.
With its 5-3 win Saturday, Anaheim has now posted a .941 winning percentage in its last 17 games. Of the 16 wins they've had in their last 17 games, eight have come by multiple goals.
The last time the Ducks swept the Coyotes in a season series was the 1993-94 campaign, when the franchise was still based in Winnipeg.

The welcoming patio seats 15 guests. Serving fresh, honest food in a casual neighbourhood environment, this modest Kitsilano room encourages diners to gather around the central communal table with old and new friends, sip BC craft beers and linger over one of Chef Michael Robbins' seasonally driven dishes.

We frankly stayed here as a fallback due to the Devil's Tower Park's campground being closed due to tree's downed from a recent thunderstorm. But we were glad, because the view we had from this park of the monument was outstanding! That, plus the canyon views on the other side made this a much more scenic park than the Park's campground or the other commercial park just outside their gates. This park is pretty much no-frills. The sites and driveways are only fairly well graveled and the site we chose was pretty easy to get level on. We were in a 35 foot Class A motor home - bigger rigs might find it a challenge to get in and get level. But the AC voltage was good and correctly wired, and again, the views were way better than you could get at the alternative parks. If we returned to Devil's Tower, we would likely stay here again just for the views.

Extremely friendly office help. Convenient to Custer National Battleground, the Big Horn County Historical Museum, and Pompey's Pillar. Sites were well graveled, level, and good amount of green space between sites. When I remarked to the office that this was the first park we'd been in where both legs of the 50 amp service tested exactly 120 volts, she said it was because they were formerly a mobile home park so each site has a separate power line rather than being on a loop. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay to visit Craters of the Moon National Park. Long, level pull through sites with huge amount of grassy space between sites. Bathrooms nicely appointed and spotlessly clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. They have a cafe on site that provides 2 free pancake and egg breakfasts per site per day if you want. (The standard Camper's Special is for 2 pancakes and 2 eggs, but the pancakes are huge, so unless you have a big appetite, just request one pancake.) We would definitely stay here again.
