hands all around
Hands up! - it's over, I made it! :) Here you see a handmade madness full of hands, or as my friend called it, the apocalypse of hands. Don't forget to view this one in "Little planet view" that's a lot funnier then proper view (left click on a panorama). So I guess next one should be about feet ? :)
This was made out of four separate images, two were used for up and bottom, while other two for all horizontal view (it could have been one for horizontal, but i started out drawing on a4 and didn't counted for correct proportions I need, so I had to use two pieces of paper). It's hard to write about techniques used to make this because I used quite many of them.
For those who care I used following hardware or software to assist me in one point or another: rotring's isograph 0,1mm, pentax kr, 2x unknown scanners, photoshop, (hugin, ptgui), pano2vr, and even ms word for spelling :)

By Christopher Wallenberg
You mentioned the "distractions" from the real reasons to be alive. Is that something that you've learned as you've gotten older — to try to shed those distractions or not become so all-consumed by them?
Your scandalous, dishy new memoir "Dropped Names," which was released in the spring, caused quite the stir as well as some admiring reviews. What compelled you to write it?
25 Aug 2012
Langella: No, I think they go away from you. It isn't that you shed them. If you're smart, then you let go of them. You let go of wanting to hold onto them when you feel them disappearing. All those things that you thought you needed to get you through a day. In everybody's case it's different: A lot of booze, a lot of smoking, a lot of sex, a lot of money, a lot of fame. All the things you think are worth pursuing, as you get older you realize they really are useless — and pointless. You just come to value, more and more every day, good health and human contact. And Frank of course is someone who's got a wall up against all of it. There's that wonderful scene in the movie where Jimmy [Marsden] berates him and says, you know, "You could talk anybody into anything. But you never were there as a father. You don't care. And here I am, busting my balls to help you, and you just don't care." What I like about this movie, more than any other element, is its total lack of any kind of mushy sentimentality — either related to the children or related to the robot. Frank remains resolutely what he is — right until the end of the picture.
Langella: Some of what we're talking about. A friend of mine died, and I had lost contact with her in the last decade of her life. Ms. Jill Clayburgh. I didn't know how sick she was. I was traveling with a companion, and she showed me the obituary, and she's a fair amount younger than Jill and didn't know who Jill was. And I was taken by the fact that she didn't know who Jill was. So I sat down and wrote my memories of Jill. It was the first thing I wrote. And then I just thought, wait a minute, in the 50 or so years since I was about 15, there are so many fascinating people who have come and gone in my life — and now are literally gone. So why don't I just write down my impressions of them? And then it got to be a hundred or more pages. 110, I think. And then I carefully took it down to 65. It happened very quickly. And now all my writer friends who want to kill me. I started writing it in December or November of 2010. So it was a very quick. I mean, I wrote and rewrote and wrote and rewrote all that time. But these stories just poured out.

Langella: A little. But there hasn't been any. I was worried about maybe family members of certain people, and I was prepared to say, "Look, as I say in my book in the preface, this is my experience of that person." I'm not ever saying, "This is what they were." I'm saying, "This is my feeling about them." But there hasn't been one negative letter or email or phone call. If anything, there have been remarkable gestures and reactions. Lily Rabe [Clayburgh's daughter] wrote me a beautiful letter about Jill. And Dominick Dunne's son listened personally as I read the story about his father, which wasn't always flattering. But no, there hasn't been anybody [writing or calling me up] irate or angry or [saying] "how could you?" Not one person.
You mentioned the "distractions" from the real reasons to be alive. Is that something that you've learned as you've gotten older — to try to shed those distractions or not become so all-consumed by them?
Your scandalous, dishy new memoir "Dropped Names," which was released in the spring, caused quite the stir as well as some admiring reviews. What compelled you to write it?
Despite the fact that it's a celebrity memoir with some scandalous tidbits and provocations, the book was widely admired for its eloquence and unvarnished honesty. One review said "There is so much happy sexuality in this book that reading it is like being flirted with for a whole party by the hottest person in the room." And Charles Isherwood in the New York Times praised it for "insight into [your] own fears and foibles that is often absent from the memoirs of celebrities" as well as its "overriding note of compassion and fellow feeling." What was your intent in writing it and what was the overarching theme that you wanted to communicate?
Langella: I didn't have a theme other than they were all dead. But I suppose if you look at the book — and I'm now re-reading it in order to correct the typos for the paperback [edition] — it's really about the remarkable schism between the famous face that walks into a room and what's going on in the soul of the person. All of the different qualities and the complexity of being alive. As I say in the final chapter, in the Afterward, "If you stick to your soul, it will stick to you." So many people in my profession don't stick to their soul. And they end either tragically or sadly. And it takes a lifetime to understand that simple phrase. But I think if there is a theme in the book, it's the idea that being famous is really not a very important goal. It's like money, wealth, sex, you know, physical pleasure, honors, awards, titles, all those things — they just come and go.
On "Charlie Rose," you talk about that a little bit — the idea that life is about the journey. You quoted what Ortega said in "The Revolt of the Masses": That the best place to be is in the water and trying to get to shore and never getting there, because that means you're alive.
Langella: Right. Because once you're there on shore, what else is there? It's better to stay in the water and just swim. Just swim and always look in the distance for a place to land — but don't land. One of the things I say is: I don't think there's any comfort in the safe landing. People are always saying "It's time to settle down." That's just nonsense. Keep flying. Always keep flying. It's better.

Lots of very good soccer matches start very slow and get good progressively, at a steady rate. Sometimes, there's a big moment that turns things around. That big moment could still come, but we're beginning to approach the point in the match where we're allowed to declare it crappy.
The United States and Mexico haven't done very much through 28 minutes of play, for various reasons. Both teams are lacking their best players, and both have guys playing out of position. Additionally, most of these players were involved in competitive club games last weekend, and all of them except for Maurice Edu will be involved in competitive club matches this weekend.
There's a lot of standing around. The movement off the ball has been poor from everyone. The United States is content to put a lot of guys behind the ball and Mexico isn't interested in getting risky and creative in an attempt to break them down.
A stunning goal or a bad tackle that pisses everyone off could turn things around, but we're pretty close to being able to declare this match as lame.

Nadine Gordimer, Nobel Prize-winning author, has passed away at age 90. Brilliant, prolific and unafraid of controversy, Gordimer was a champion of civil rights during the South African era of apartheid. With a deep and empathetic understanding of South African culture and politics, Gordimer fought tirelessly for the persecuted and oppressed.
She eloquently conveyed her passion for social justice through her many works of fiction, including such novels as Burger's Daughter (1979), The Pickup (2002) and Get a Life (2006).
In an interview with BookPage's Alden Mudge in 2007, Gordimer spoke of the deep influence reading had on her life. "I began to write very, very young in the small gold-mining town in South Africa where I was born…. By the time I was 12, the librarian at this local library, who was also a friend of my mother's, allowed me the freedom of the library. I wasn't confined to the children's section. I read everything from D.H. Lawrence to Thucydides. Nobody was guiding me. I was like a pig in clover and I found what I wanted and what was nourishing to me. The local library was unbelievably important to me. It was my real education."
A literary giant and champion of equality, Gordimer will be keenly missed. You can read our full interview with Gordimer here.
Maybe it's me, but there's just something about hot summer days that makes me want to read about murder—and lots of it. So of course I'm ecstatic to kick off Private Eye July, our month-long celebration of mysteries and thrillers!
And the crime fiction features aren't limited to our July print issue, either. Keep an eye out of the Private Eye July magnifying glass, and stay tuned into The Book Case all month long through Facebook and Twitter for plenty of extra goodies.
Just a few things to look forward to:
Happy reading, mystery lovers!
In the market for a piece of literary and cinematic history? Looking for a memento for the 75th anniversary of the film adaptation of Gone with the Wind? You're in luck. The RR Auction is offering a collection of correspondence between Gone with the Wind author Margaret Mitchell and a fan for bidding. At the moment, the next bid for the set of letters is holding steady at $5900, so crack open the piggy bank!
The letters offer some fascinating insight into Mitchell's process of character and plot development, as well as her thoughts on the film adaptation of her book. Sadly, if you've ever wondered about the fate of the South's most volatile couple, Mitchell offers no guidance. After Rhett declares that he just does not give a damn what Scarlett does with her life, Mitchell quite literally closed the book on them. She writes, "About the ending of the book and whether or not Rhett came back to his wife—well, you have me out on a limb. You see, I do not know myself. I honestly never thought about what happened to the characters after the book ended." Sigh.
Mitchell's pen pal was obviously hoping that the saga of Tara would continue, but despite Gone with the Wind being one of the most successful American novels ever published and winning the Pulitzer Prize, Mitchell had no desire to write a sequel. She tells her admirer, "I do not plan to write a sequel, nor have I any plans for future writing, as I do not like to write." For someone who didn't like to write, she certainly wrote one long novel (1,037 pages!). But true to her word, she never published another book during her life.
However, Mitchell's estate authorized a sequel written by Donald McCaig in 2007 (Rhett Butler's People), and he has been commissioned to write a prequel as well, this time from the perspective of Scarlett's house slave, Mammy. Despite being undeniably powerful and important, Gone with the Wind has been criticized for its depiction of slavery and black people, which is at best lacking in nuance and at worst, offensive. McCaig's novel attempts to flesh out the character of Mammy, giving her a backstory and a name—Ruth. Entitled Ruth's Journey, the book will focus on Mammy's story before Gone with the Wind: Ruth's youth spent in the Carribean, her marriage and her relationship with Scarlett's mother. Peter Borland, the editorial director of the book's publisher, Atria, says, "What's really remarkable about what Donald has done is that it's a book that respects and honors its source material, but it also provides a necessary correction to what is one of the more troubling aspects of the book, which is how the black characters are portrayed." However, many have questioned whether a 73-year-old white man would be able—or should even attempt—to give voice to a black, enslaved woman. Ruth's Journey will be released in October.
What do you think, readers? Will you be picking up Ruth's Journey? Or is this Gone with the Wind reboot a bridge too far?
Golden Globes winning actress, producer, SNL alum, personal role model and hilarious human Amy Poehler has unveiled the cover of her upcoming book, Yes Please. Set to publish on October 28th with It Books, an imprint of Harper Collins, the book will cover topics such as friendships, dating, motherhood and more. It Books says this of Poehler's debut book:
"Her original twist on the conventional memoir will have universal appeal. An illustrated, non-linear diary full of humor and honesty and brimming with true stories, fictional anecdotes and life lessons, the book will be a unique and engaging experience from one of today's most talented and beloved stars."
If it's anything like her good friend Tina Fey's book, Bossy Pants, I will be overjoyed. But the real question is, can it live up to Leslie Knope's book, Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America?
The book is already available for pre-order. Do you think you'll be checking out Yes Please?
With June on the horizon, it's time to don the sunglasses and crack open a book in the balmy weather! The June LibraryReads list is out and features the 10 books being published next month that librarians are most excited about sharing with their patrons.
Topping the list is Emma Healey's stunning debut novel detailing a woman's sprial into dementia, Elizabeth Is Missing. Other books on the must-read list include China Dolls, another compelling historical novel from Lisa See following three young women navigating the Chinese community of San Francisco, the delightfully unsettling Summer House with Swimming Pool by Herman Koch and Courtney Maum's debut novel detailing a Parisian maritial crisis, I Am Having So Much Fun Here Without You.
You can delve into the entirety of the LibraryReads June list here. What do you think? Will any of these books be enjoying the sunny weather with you?

Juan Nicasio began his season with the Tulsa Drillers. Now 13 games into his major league career, he's having surgery after being struck in the head by a line drive in Friday night's game against Washington.
Nicasio suffered a neck fracture in the second inning of the Rockies' 5-3 loss to the Nationals when a line drive off the bat of Ian Desmond hit him in the right side of the head.
In a statement, the Rockies said Nicasio was "resting comfortably".
Nicasio made nine starts with the Drillers this season, going 5-and-1 with a 2.22 earned run average. He was called up to the parent club on May 28th.
In 13 starts at the major league level, Nicasio is 4-and-4 with a 4.14 ERA.

News 7. [underlined words and letters in the original are here presented as headings or in italics.]
On other pages: part 2, part 3, part 4.
NEWSLETTER. FEBRUARY 1985, [part 1.]
Section One.
See Journal and Newsletter items by Mona Cross.
Letter from Mona Cross, Editor and Publicity Officer.Dear Members and Interested Peopl,
Thank you all for the letters and articls which you hav sent to me.
From the News Letter you will see that the theme which they hav in common is the wish to get rid of unnecessarily peculiar spellings and to replace them with fonetic ones. From those simple aims has followed a preference by sum for an adaptation of the well thaut out, formerly recommended "Nue Spellings" Others prefer "Cut Spelling", which cancels out the fonetic variations e.g. "cmty for committee", and which is leading to a form of "Speed Rieting".
It is comforting to me to no that all rieters ar absolutely certain that "Spelling Reform" never alters language. The recent oral correspondence on the "Today Program" on Radio 4 begun by John Ogden, showed such a silly ignorance by two members of the public. One lady had ritten to state that she was "furious that anyone wanted to change our beautiful English language" - she was obviously unaware that when she had red Shakepeare's "beautiful English language" at school that she had red it in an orthodox script quite different from that in which it had been ritten.
I am still hoping that our replies to her will be red out. Following the two ladies Radio letters, John Ogden riets two points which represent very common reactions:-
1. Equating spelling reform with language reform.People need to be reassured that we do not contemplate an assault in the language itself, but rather to do it the service of representing it more accurately.
2. Seeing simplification as a serious cultural threat.
John Ogden has not received enuf copies of articls ritten to newspapers by members. Perhaps you'v only been thinking of rieting? Without your help we can't, reach ordinary peopl. If we don't then all the work on reformd schemes is wasted, for no-one will even hear about them. Your own realisation that simpler spelling means easier reading will never be graspd by them.
At the Conference on July 27, 28, 29 there will be speakers with one aim, but varied opinions. Judging by former conferences (1975, 1979, 1981) it will be a frendly, stimulating weekend. As there'll be plenty of time to discuss things you would find it particularly worth your while to cum. I hope to see old and new members and "Interested People" there.
The next newsletter will be published after the Conference ie. an August Newsletter.
You may have noticed that the cover is different yet it has the same words as the October Newsletter. This is becaus two peopl made an October one (based on my July one) So this month I am using our Committee member, Alan Bye's design (after altering the month) - you yourself miet like to make a cover, using the 'Nue Spelling' words. It would be received with pleasure!
Yours sincerely
Mona Cross
P.S. This letter and comments ritten by me show an attempt to use the early stages of Nue Spelling reform.

I hope that the SSS will reconsider the need for greater fonetic accuracy and greater toleration in dealing with dialect variation.
See Journal and Newsletter items by Robert Craig.
R. Craig, Weston-Super-Mare, Jan 1985.
If you want six reforms for Stage 2, I would suggest:
1. Deletion of initial silent letters from words such as, wrote, know, gnaw, psalm, hour etc.
2. Only a singl consonant after schwa vowel; apear, aproach, atempt etc.
3. Deletion of surplus h's (in digrafs); chaos, choism, what, when, school etc.
4. Only a singl consonant finally, wil, shal, al, spel, etc.
5. Deletion of l in would, could, should.
6. Internal y pronounced i to be written i; sistem, mith, simptom, etc. (reply, happy, etc to be left for a later stage.)
See Journal article by H.W. Herbert
H.W. Herbert, Kenmore, Queensland, Australia, Jan 1985.
About 100 people replied, 85% favoured the ough and augh reform being adopted first. Of the 15% who disagreed, 2 people wanted to start with SR1 (short e) and the rest wanted no change to spelling.
Below is a reference to the Hon Secretary's next proposed "C as in the word chemist, spelled cemist".
See Journal and Newsletter items by Alan Bye.
Committee Member Alan Bye of Northampton replies: February 1985.
This I think is a non-starter unless all other c e words ar respelled with an S. Chemist, Christmas etc should need K and be rendered Kemist, (or Kemmist) Kristmas etc
Mrs J Lintern, Gen Secretary i.t.a. federation, Oct 1983.
My experiences convinced me of the crying need for a simplified but augmented alfabet to provide a speech-related fonetic START for our children. I must be honest and say that I hav not yet accepted the idea of spelling reform .... my love for history and tradition creates a barrier for me.

The Revision of NEW SPELLING.
In 1948 the Society published the 6th Edition of its
NEW SPELLING, as revised by
Daniel Jones, a fonetician of world-wide renown. The project for spelling reform was
presented to
Parliament in 1953 and
narrowly defeated. Since when nothing more has been heard of NEW SPELLING.
All our letters to the papers, all our propaganda ar so much time wasted if we cannot answer the simple question, "Well, what is your scheme?"
Recognising this, the Committee of the Society has set up a working Party to review NEW SPELLING, and to bring out a revised version if that is found necessary. NEW SPELLING is itself a most valuable book. It sets out a logical and consistent scheme for spelling reform, based on a careful statistical analysis of current (i.e. 1940's) practice. When one reads it today, the only immediat criticisms one is tempted to make ar really quite minor. Its style smacks very much of a past academic world, and some of the pronunciations recommended ar no longer current. But a more serious criticism has come to be levelled agenst NEW SPELLING in the last ten years or so, notably by Axel Wijk. This is that NEW SPELLING has no chance of being accepted by public opinion because it changes the spelling of too meny words. One might rejoin that public opinion never does accept change, but nonetheless it seemed sensible to take these criticisms seriously and re-examin NEW SPELLING in the light of them.
The working party is far from having completed its work, but there is one general comment on NEW SPELLING that may be made. Its authors seem to hav credited ordinary English speakers with a fonetic awareness that they ar far from possessing. For example they insist on differentiating between voiced and unvoiced consonants - notably in the final 'plural' 's', which must become 'z' where the sound is voiced. Thus 'dogz' as agenst 'cats'. No ordinary person would be conscious of this difference unless his attention wer drawn to it, and in eny case the fonetic difference is less important from the point of view of consistency than the grammatical relationship.
Do not spelling reformers today tend to be guilty of the same error?
The working party has a second task - to examin the method of introducing eny spelling reform, and the administrative problems involved. There seems to be surprisingly little work on the subject in English, tho clearly there must be work in other languages. Possibly the magnitude of the changes needed in English means that the experience of other languages is of little relevance.
At the moment introducing a spelling reform by 'stages' is the policy of the Society, and indeed of most reformers, and dare I say, it has become almost received doctrine. But apart from an article by David Stark in our last News Letter, I know of no work that has been done on the subject, and indeed how can there be, unless one has a specific scheme to work from? The basic difficulty is that in meny words two or more changes will hav to be made. Is it really feasible to divide these changes up over several stages? As an example, if the superfluous 'gh' is to be dropped in 'taught', what is one to do with 'fight'? Does it become 'fite' or 'fiet' or, if I may leak one of the working party's probable proposals 'fyt'?
The Society has tested this experimentally by introducing a 'Stage One' consisting of five individual changes. And despite all its care it has come up agenst the same problem. In accordance with one of the changes 'head' becomes 'hed'. But what then does 'headed' become? 'Heded' would be pronounced like 'heeded', so it would be necessary to introduce the double 'dd'. But the abolition of this method of indicating a short vowel is a key feature of NEW SPELLING. To introduce 'hedded' temporarily as a sort of intermediat stage is clearly impossible.
And of course a reform of English spelling could not be spred over more than two or three stages if chaos is to be avoided.
Finally there ar the administrativ problems to be considered. Just as a start, there would be a complete upheaval in all alfabetical listings. Then every household would need a small work-book of old and new spellings. (Perhaps this would not be too great a problem - the Highway Code was once issued like this.) But the problem in the schools would not be quite so simply solved. Seven to eleven year olds would no doubt make a fresh start, with whatever enthusiasm, but who would lay doun a uniform policy for the older pupils - and for the examining boards? Clearly adults can be allowed the freedom in their privat spelling that they once enjoyed, but it is an illusion to think that eny kind of spelling reform can be introduced without the participation of the government.
The devastating criticism has been made in the past that there is no hope for spelling reform, as the reformers cannot even agree among themselves. The Society must meet this by producing a single, thaut out scheme which it is prepared to put forward as viable and practicable, worthy to be considered by a governmental commission and by similar bodies in the USA and the Commonwealth, New and Old. Only in this way can we win the attention, not only of public authorities, but of academic and business institutions, and of the mass of ordinary people.
Our Conference in late July is designed under the theme of "Spelling Reform Now" to giv the spelling reform movement a new start. The various topics of discussion ar listed elsewhere in this News Letter, but behind them or is the idea of efficiency. As our President sed last year, the present system of spelling English is above all inefficient. It is inefficient for learning, inefficient in general use, and now inefficient in the computer age. The main international language must become efficient.
Laurence R. Fennelly

Section Two.
The Simplified Spelling Society
Fourth International Conference (1985)
Fourth International Conference (1985)
The Conference will be at Southampton University from Friday, July 26th to Sunday, July 28th, 1985. Accommodation and lectures will be in the Connaught Hall of the University. It is open to all who are interested in spelling reform, whether they are Members of the Society or not.
The aim of the Conferenceis above all to discuss a practical programme for spelling reform.
The topics to be discussedare as follows:-
1. The Simplified Spelling Society presents a revised version of its "New Spelling" (6th Edition 1948) for discussion and, if acceptable, eventual adoption as the Society's policy.
2. The method of introducing a revised spelling system. Is a policy of "stages" feasible, and if so what stages should there be? What are the other social and administrative problems involved.
3. A revised spelling of English for those countries, particularly in the New Commonwealth, which use English as a second language.
4. Spelling reform in relation to the computer and other modern technology.
5. Spelling reform as a way to more efficient learning in schools.
The list of speakersis being drawn up at the moment, but those who would like to contribute to any of these topics are asked to write urgently to Mr. R. Baker, the Convener of the Conference, at the address given below.
There will also be a time set apart for short contributions on other topics of spelling reform.
Southampton is an attractive city at the centre of an area of great historical interest. It is 70 minutes from London by Inter-City train, and there is a frequent coach service direct to Heathrow Airport.
Connaught Hall itself is pleasantly situated. There is a good bus service into Southampton City Centre, and it is only 5 minutes by car from Eastleigh Airport, and from an access point on to the M27. (The M27 motorway is now complete, and is fully open.)
Accommodation and Cost.

Gold Prices Retreat to Lowest Levels Since Election (Update 1)
Updated from 12:03 p.m. EST with settlement prices
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Gold prices continued to retreat Wednesday below psychological resistance a day after the yellow metal settled at its lowest level in more than a month.
Gold for February delivery shed $2 to $1,693.80 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The gold price traded as high as $1,708.30 and as low as $1,686 an ounce, while the spot price was losing $3.70, according to Kitco's gold index.
The $1,686 price was the lowest level seen for the yellow metal since Election Day on Nov. 6, when gold surged by more than $30 an ounce to break away from a then intraday low of $1,683.50."We obviously broke through some support levels, and then it stopped behaving as well as we'd like it to -- being below $1,700 an ounce," said Oliver Pursche, co-portfolio manager at GMG Defensive Beta Fund. Whereas a stall in fiscal cliff negotiations and some possible institutional selling of gold (realizing the yellow metal may not reach previously expected higher prices by year-end) plunged the precious metal on Tuesday by more than $25, Wednesday's action saw the commodity slightly fall against a strengthening dollar. Silver prices for March delivery dipped 15 cents to settle at $32.96 an ounce, while the U.S. dollar index was adding 0.10% to $79.75. Gold benefited early in the trading session from new Chinese Communist Party Chief Xi Jinping announcing that the country would consider more infrastructure investment. The possibility of Chinese stimulus to infrastructure could have a positive effect on gold as an inflation hedge, should the government there implement the program. The gold price began to slump back toward the flatline shortly before Automatic Data Processing's employment change report said the United States added 118,000 jobs in November. Economists had predicted some 125,000 jobs. A Goldman Sachs research note on Wednesday said that it is seeing growing downside risks for gold in 2013 as its analysts have forecast improving conditions in the U.S. economy. "In the short term, the combination of more easing and weaker growth should prove supportive to gold prices although our modeling suggests that these catalysts are to some extent already priced in. Medium term however, the gold outlook is caught between the opposing forces of more Fed easing and a gradual increase in US real rates on better US economic growth," the research note said.

Despite an interruption this week when a nor'easter swept through the region, Con Edison still maintains all of its Sandy-affected customers will have power by the end of tomorrow.
"Just under 20,000 customers remain out in New York City and Westchester, from the 1.067 million affected by both storms," the company said in a statement early Saturday morning.
In addition, approximately 35,000 customers in the flooded Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island area will not be able to receive service "until their own internal equipment is repaired, tested and certified by an electrician as ready for service."
"Con Edison is on pace to have nearly all its Hurricane Sandy outages restoredby Sunday night," the statement said. "Sandy caused more than four times as many outages as the next largest storm in the company's history, Hurricane Irene, which created havoc just over a year ago."
Customers can check updated outage numbers every 15 minutes on
www.ConEd.com/OutageMap.Customers can use their mobile devices,as well as computers, to report power interruptions or service problems at
www.conEd.com. They also may call Con Edison at 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633).

Family support provides assistance to families caring for their children with developmental disabilities at home. The program addresses the unique needs that arise when a child has a developmental disability. Because the program is based on disability rather than economic need, there is no income test for eligibility. Family support services supplement family and community resources to help children with disabilities and their families thrive at home and in the community. The program strives to help children and families remain independent, healthy and safe.
Through the family support program, families determine what they need most. Families have the flexibility to choose services and providers. Families and children's service coordinators work together to develop a plan that revolves around the needs of the child and family. In some cases, a family may access family support for a brief time while other families may need an on-going family support plan.
The family support program is more than just money for services. Before family support funds are spent, the service coordinator and family work to identify all available resources from the family and community. These might include people, support-groups, public and private programs, private insurance, and many other resources. The family support program helps ensure that all available resources are accessed creatively and leveraged to the greatest possible benefit of the child and family. State money is used only for those services which are not available from any other resource.,/p>
Family support services are based on the belief that all children have the right to a stable family relationship in the community. The program is grounded in the knowledge that families are the greatest resource available to children. Like typically developing children, children with disabilities need enduring relationships in nurturing homes. The extraordinary care needs a child may have related to a developmental disability may stretch family resources, strength and energy. Family support services are proactive, and are intended to help prevent families from going into crisis. These services provide families with the assistance they need to remain healthy, independent and safe.
In addition to supporting families, the program strives to help children with developmental disabilities access community resources and be active members of their communities. Sometimes, children with disabilities need additional services or assistance in order to participate in community recreational or cultural activities. The family support program helps families find the tools to provide children with these supports.
Families know their needs best. This is why families, in collaboration with their service coordinator, identify the services and supports most needed by their family. Family support empowers families by giving them the ability to choose their staff and assume the role of the employer.
Ultimately, family support keeps families together while enhancing their capacity, independence and quality of life.
Eligibility for the family support program is based upon disability, not upon financial need. There is no income test for receiving family support services.
To be eligible for family support services, a child must be between the ages of birth and 18, and be eligible for developmental disability services as determined by the Community Developmental Disabilities Programs (CDDP). The child must live in the family home. He or she cannot be receiving other department paid in-home, community living or family support services except for Medicaid, adoption assistance, or short-term assistance intended to prevent out of home placement.
If a child is living in a state funded residential program, he or she may receive family support services if the child needs these services to return to the family home. In this case, the funds must be designated for the child by the Department.
A child may enter family support services once the Community Developmental Disabilities Programs determines that the child is eligible and that there are sufficient funds to serve that child. As well, a child may receive family support services any time the Department designates funds for the child through a contract with the CDDP in order to provide supports necessary to prevent out-of-home placement of the eligible child.
The children's service coordinator or family support consultant will work with the family to develop a written family support plan. The planning process must be child and family centered.
A written plan will be completed within the first 90 days of entry into family support services. It also includes an estimate of service costs and identifies sources of funding. It also includes an estimate of the cost of services, and documents where the funding and support will come from. Plans will be reviewed at least annually.
Family support services are flexible and tailored to the needs of each family. However, these services must fall within the parameters outlined by the family support rule. All other available means of providing needed supports must be exhausted before using family support funds. Only goods and services necessary for a child to be supported in the family home can be purchased with family support dollars. Family support funds cannot be used to supplant normal parent responsibility.
Family support funds can be used to purchase goods, services and supports including:
Family support service coordinators and families work together to assess family needs and determine which goods, services and supports are most appropriate for the family.
For more information about the family support program in your area, contact your local Community Developmental Disabilities Programs.

Town Square
Keep Town Square user Friendly rather than divisive

It is true that anonymity allows people to write things they wouldn't if they had to sign their names. They can even agree with themselves using another name.
But dumbing down the forum is not a good solution. If you want to relax and take your mind off the city, have a cup of tea. The forum is a rare opportunity for people to say what they think about local matters and the city.
Coincidentally here is an article that sees through Republican spinmeister (Frank Luntz) who offers this advice to Democrats: don't get mad. Web Link
I think your suggestion (don't worry, be happy) is in the same vein.
on May 14, 2007 at 4:44 pm
I think it should be possible to do both and for the most part, this is what happens. Sometimes there are some very interesting, helpful threads which people read but do not comment on. Maybe we should just comment on anything we find interesting just to let the original poster know that their comments are being read.
on May 14, 2007 at 5:19 pm
Is there a way to find out if thread you posted is being visited, even if there are no comments? It is true that I read every thread, but comment only on those I have an opinion on. How do the people who start a thread know others are seeing it?

The honeymoon is over for the Miami Heat. The Boston Celtics walked into South Beach and rolled to a 112-107 victory over the Heat tonight, the second win over Miami this season. The loss, Miami's second in a row, drops the Heat to 5-4 on the season. After all the offseason talk of Lebron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, the Heat have struggled to live-up to expectations over the first nine games while working to find a chemistry together.
The Celtics led this one from start to finish, pulling away early and staying in control throughout. Ray Allen was deadly from three-point land, hitting seven threes and finishing with a game-high 35 points. Rajon Rondo played distributor for the Celtics, dishing out 16 assists. Kevin Garnett led Boston on the boards, pulling down 13 rebounds and scoring 16 points.
James narrowly missed a triple-double in a losing effort with 35 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. Bosh and Wade, James' partners in crime, had slow nights for the Heat. Wade chipped-in eight points and three assists, but turned the ball over six times. Bosh added 15 points and seven rebounds.
When Wade wondered aloud whether the world would come crashing down if the Heat struggled, who knew we'd find out so soon. Nine games in and Miami has its first losing streak of the season and sits one game over .500, still unable to find a way to beat Boston. The Celtics improved to 7-2 on the year with the win.

|Hello everyone, I have some Dekopon seedlings that I planted from a single Dekopon seed I found in a fruit. I planted the seed several weeks ago and last week, I partially dug up the seed to see if it sprouted or if it had rotted. When I partially dug up the seed,I saw about 6-8 sprouts coming out of the seed. I took my finest pair of tweezers to see if I could gently seperate the seedlings but they were pretty much stuck together.
Should I try again to seperate the seedlings? I was thinking that I could let the seedlings grow a little stronger so that the roots wont be as brittle and maybe they will even be a little more seperated. When I tried to seperate them the fist time, I could see the cracks between some of the clones but they felt like they were still partially fused together. Should I just leave the seedlings alone and grow them all as a single bush?
Also, is there a way I can tell which seedling is zygotic? I assume its got to be the strongest or weakest one. Do zygotic seedlings sprout first or last? Thanks in advance!
Follow-Up Postings:
|Well personally if I were you. I would let what ever sprouts grow no matter what since the seeds are very rare. Let them grow until you have some size to work with.
Im just a dummy though.
- Posted by houstontexas123 z9a (My Page) on Sat, Apr 21, 12 at 2:29
|i concur with mike. too risky right now to try to separate.
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Sat, Apr 21, 12 at 9:52
|No, no. Do not separate, now. Allow the seedlings to sprout. Your zygotic seedlings usually come up later than the nuclear seedling or seedlings, and the clonal seedlings often overtake the zygotic seedling, which will die off. The seedlings that are the most vigorous and sprout first most likely will be your clones. You can separate after they've gotten a little bigger and try growing them all. Just label them accordingly, so as they get bigger, you know which is the hybrid and which is the clone.
Patty S.
- Posted by simon_grow San Diego Zone 10 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 23, 12 at 0:58
|Thanks for everyones help! I will let them grow now and try to separate them when they are a little more mature. If they are too difficult to separate them when they are older, I will just grow all of them to a large size and attempt to bud each grown seedling onto another tree. I have sprouts so far so I guess at least one of them is a clone, I hope?
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Mon, Apr 23, 12 at 10:46
|I would think so, Simon. Polyembryonic citrus tend to send out clone spouts the majority of the time. Odds are in your favor :-)
- Posted by simon_grow San Diego Zone 10 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 24, 12 at 17:39
|Hey Patty, do you have any experience in budding citrus? When my seedlings get larger, perhaps you can take some buds from my seedlings and bud them onto some of your citrus trees. I would like to distribute some of the scions from these seedlings(when they reach the appropriate size) in case I accidentally kill them. You live in San Diego County so we shouldn't have any issues with the citrus quarantine.
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Wed, Apr 25, 12 at 0:31
|No experience grafting citrus, just stone fruit, Simon. But, you have some really experienced grafters within our San Diego and N. San Diego County CRFG's. Are you a member? Really a wonderful group of folks. Love my N. San Diego chapter a bunch. I'd love to try, but I'd feel terrible if I wasn't successful with such a special seedling!

|Hey Patty, I'm not an actual memeber I just know some of the members. I've done grafting of several varieties of tropical and subtropicals but I have not grafted citrus yet. I'm going to experiment with some of my citrus next month and hopefully I can get T-budding down in time to bud these Dekopon seedlings.
Patty, how is your Smith Red Valencia doing? The one I ordered from Four Winds was really small so I found a larger one in a 5 gallon container. I planted it in the ground about two weeks ago and it is flowering and holding some tiny fruit so far.
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Wed, Apr 25, 12 at 23:21
|Very small, still, Simon. But, I do see some flush, so hopefully I can get a bit of size. So, where did you find one in a 5-gal container??
Patty S.
- Posted by simon_grow San Diego Zone 10 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 26, 12 at 14:51
|Hey Patty, I got it at Clifton's Nursery. It is much larger than the one I got at FourWinds and will probably save you about two years.
|I too have be so fortunate as to have a store bought Sumo with a lucky viable seed grow into 3 taller shoots! and 1 runtish small one. Each shoot is about an inch high off the soil ea w/2 small leaves. Is it time to separate the 3 viable shoots?
From what I read, these will become fruit bearing Sumo trees in 7+ years, with much luck and tlc.
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Fri, Jun 21, 13 at 0:17
|Wait a bit yet, morbo. You will want to see at least 1 to 2 sets of real leaves before you separate out your seedlings. Your largest and most vigorous seedling will be the clone. But, since Dekopons are grown in large blocks, so all your seedlings may indeed, end up being Dekopons and not a hybrid (or, Dekopon x Dekopon hybrids). They are easier to separate when they're a little larger.
Patty S.
|Thanks Patty! I will wait. Should I wait for the runt one to get to real leaf stage before separating all 4 or start separating when the fast growers get to real leaf stage?
So exciting all this :) (excitement played out over a decade to come of course)
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Jun 23, 13 at 15:34
|Wait until the leaves harden up a bit.
Seedlings at this stage are delicate.
|Hi Sumo Growers !!! :)
Any chance one of you folks could pass me a seed ?
I am in europe and see no chance to get a Sumo/Dekopon ...
|Morbo, Looking good. I've gone through several Dekopon/Sumo/Shiranui fruit over the last two years and have yet to find a single seed.
Although I did (to my surprise) see a good 3-4ft 5gal one for sale at a local garden center here in MA this spring. I just saw a really nice Ortanique at the same garden center this past weekend too, go figure...
Sanguinello? err... Australis ;) How are you doing? I recognized your writing style from one of your other recent posts. Since Dekopon's have so few seeds and the trees still are not openly available in California, you would be quite fortunate to find someone willing to send a seed to you. You'll also probably have to wait at least until February, when they are in season again.
|Morbo: how are those seedlings doing?
Will you keep them indoors or are they hardy enough to be planted outside?
I have 4 seedlings which are doing great....I am just not sure if I can plant them in the ground here in Sunset Zone 15 (9b)?
|Hi mia1974,
All 4 are doing well. Some slight leaf curling at higher elevations (prob not enough water). Its been 8mo now approx since they sprouted from a rare Whole food Sumo orange seed. They are 20", 15" & 12" from r->l
I may pot into larger pots and put them out on the deck. I think I too am in a sunset zone15 (Cupertino,CA). After they outgrow that deck pot, it would be to the garden for the 3. The small one (per Patty) will not produce fruit so I am disinclined to garden that one.

|Well, it's not that it won't produce fruit, Hedley, just that the smaller and later of the multiple seedlings coming from the same seed are almost always your hybrids, and not your clones. So, you may have a very nice mandarin hybrid that is not a Dekopon clone :-)
Patty S.
|Hedley: do your seedlings have thorns? Is this a normal?
My 4 seedlings are about the same size...I am in S. San Jose. My other mandarin citrus survived ok, so maybe i will attempt 2 seedlings outside soon....
|Hi mia1974,
Yes, thorns. 3 of them do. The one that Patty mentions, the hybrid, doesn't seem to have them. So, it seems for me the clones have thorns, the hybrid, no.
Good to know your outdoor citrus survived the winter. This zone doesn't seem to get too cold for too long. Could use a lot more wet weather though.

A Fort Myers woman is calling her dog her savior. This comes after she claims her pooch saved her from an early morning car fire started on her lawn.
The state fire marshal's office is calling the fire--and another fire started nearby--arson.
Man's best friend? Try hero.
This is Candella, which in Spanish means flame.
Ironic because that's what her owner tells us she saved the family from.
Now an arson investigation is underway and your help is needed.
Two early morning fires are now part of a developing arson investigation
"Both occurred over night and our investigators have been able to determine both are arson," said the fire marshal.
One was a boat fire just outside the Oasis high rise condos in Fort Myers. Then, three miles down the road a car fire on this lawn.
Its left the property owner, Ada Castillo, baffled.
"I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't know what happened why the people's come onto my property," Castillo said.
With emotions running high, Ada finds comfort in man's best friend. Her best friend, Candella
"My dog is my family," she said.
And now more than ever because, as Ada tells us, the dog's a hero.
"Maybe my dog not here...I don't know...maybe me and family?" she asked.
Here's how it all went down. We're told the fire started in this general area. Ada then tells us her dog, Candella, came up to this window barking and scratching, alerting them of the danger.
Ada called 911 immediately, while she and her husband protected their house from the flames.
This afternoon, the rest of the family is recovering from shock, but praising their four-legged hero.
"If my dog wasn't here, she didn't exist, our house would have burned down," said Ada's son Andrew.
A spokesman with the state fire marshal's office tells us the boat is destroyed. The car suffered minor damage.
Anyone with information is asked to call the arson tip line 1877-no arson
As for Candella, you can bet she's getting a meal fit for a queen tonight.

Effective September 6, 2010, the Purchasing Office simplified the travel processes by implementing the use of the new Travel Authorization and Reimbursement form. This new form replaced the Application for Travel and the Travel Voucher.
To assist departments with understanding the revised travel process, a tab with instructions was added to the form. Departments that have a short timeframe for processing travel arrangements have the option of creating an online requisition on Datatel; thus, reducing the time it takes to order plane tickets. To create an online requisition to purchase airfare, follow the seven simple steps illustrated in the PowerPoint presentation on the right.
All University-related travel must be planned and conducted to achieve maximum economy and efficiency within the guidelines set forth in HOP 10.5.1 – Travel. If expenses are to be paid from University-administered funds, a careful estimate of reimbursable expenses is to be made, which should separately identify all travel costs. Reimbursement checks take at least 5-10 days to process after correct reimbursement documentation has been submitted to the Purchasing Office. The amount of reimbursement is subject to limitations as prescribed by Chapter 660 of the Texas Government Code and the General Appropriations Act.
For additional information or questions regarding travel, please contact Ismael Chapa at firstname.lastname@example.com, 956-882-8219.

The Oro Valley Police Department has made an arrest in an October road-rage shooting incident.
According to a news release, Blass Delmissier Gonzales, 38, was indicted today on one felony count of drive-by shooting.
Police say Gonzales cut off a car, then pulled over and shot the car near North Northern Avenue and West Magee Road on Oct. 19, 2011.
The victim, who was driving with two children in the car, was taken to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries from shattered glass.
Police received new information about the case on April 18 that led to Gonzales' arrest.

Just purchased a seed starter system. $35- from Lowes. Trays, cover and heating pad. Tray holds 72 containers to start seeds.
So far I have germinated tomatoes, bell and jalepeno peppers. Appears to werk well. Germination rate is above 90%. Time from planting to sprouting appears to be a bit faster than advertised on the back of the seed packets.
We had always purchased garden plants from the local market. Just thought I would give it a try.
Priced some started asparagus plants - $1.75 per pot/1 plant. Compared with $1.99 for a packet of seed. Appears the payback could be less than 1 year - depending on the type of plants started.

With reclamation project Brandon Wood coming over, the Pittsburgh Pirates had to make room on their 25- and 40-man rosters. Shortstop Josh Rodriguez was the unfortunate victim of the roster squeeze, and the first pick in the 2010 Rule 5 draft was designated for assignment. If the Pirates are unable to make a trade, and if Rodriguez clears waivers, the Cleveland Indians will have a chance to reclaim him.
The 26-year-old Rodriguez was 1-for-12 to start the season, but he was an interesting option at short after hitting .293/.372/.486 for AAA Columbus last season in the Indians organization. His ZiPS projection projected that he could hit .249/.324/.374, which doesn't sound like much, but that would have been the best offensive production the Pirates have received from a shortstop since Jack Wilson's fluke season in 2007.
The Indians presumably will be happy to take Rodriguez back, though there isn't a lot of room for him in AAA, with Jason Kipnis, Cord Phelps, and Lonnie Chisenhall making up an all-interesting infield.

The Record: Filling up
GAS LINES are easing now, but for about five or six days after superstorm Sandy hit on Oct. 29, it was common for motorists to wait hours for gas. Some service stations couldn't get deliveries because of the storm; others had plenty of fuel but couldn't pump it because they had no electricity. In either case, drivers paid the price.
Lawmakers may not be able to control storms, but there is now talk in Trenton of trying to ensure that gas stations stay open even when they lose electricity.
State Sen. Barbara Buono, D-Middlesex, is talking about offering low-interest loans to gas stations for the purchase of generators at a discounted bulk price negotiated by the state. The idea is modeled after one in Florida, but a key difference is that the New Jersey version would not be mandatory. Scott Rumana, the Assembly Republican whip, is thinking along the same lines with a slight variation. He said Thursday that he is working on legislation that would require gasoline stations to have backup generators for at least one of their pumps. He is exploring setting up a loan program through the Small Business Administration.
Neither proposal, of course, would do anything to speed up fuel deliveries, but they should guarantee that more gas stations will be open after storms. That's good enough. We prefer the non-mandatory approach. If a workable loan or aid program is established, many service stations likely would participate. After all, to have thousands of gallons of gasoline underground and to be unable to sell it is hardly good for business.
The long lines at gas stations may have had a short shelf life, but we should try to avoid such difficulties if we can. Besides the inconvenience, the lines on New Jersey's congested roads are a definite safety hazard. They also require local police manpower to direct traffic and maintain order.
The state has multiple programs to help New Jersey businesses in a variety of ways. There are tax credits and incentives, for instance, to assist the fledgling solar energy industry. There's no reason why help should not be also given to the more traditional fuel industry.
What the state also should explore is a more efficient way to inform residents what gas stations are open during storm-related emergencies. In the wake of Sandy, the state Office of Emergency Management compiled a list of open gas stations throughout the state. What would be even better for residents is for the 21 county emergency management offices to keep lists of their own.
There has been talk of reducing our reliance on oil since the gas crisis of the 1970s, but not much has happened in that regard. In the absence of a sudden policy change in the foreseeable future, residents and businesses are always going to need gasoline. Trying to keep as many gas stations as possible open no matter the weather conditions is the right approach. And it's also important for government agencies to do all they can to tell residents where they can find the gas that they need.

RAYMOND – I hope and pray everyone had a Merry Christmas and that you have a "Happy and Prosperous New Year!"
So, what kind of legislation am I working on for the 2013 year? So far, I have signed off on the following:
LSR 0005 relative to custody and control of the remains of deceased persons by next of kin. This bill will add step-children in the descending order of next-of-kin, and will also require next-of-kin that refuse to cooperate to sign a notarized release.
LSR 0173 relative to the limitation of liability for negligence regarding firefighters. Changes negligent injuries conduct laws. LSR 0351 relative to oversight of guardians ad litem by the guardian ad litem board. This bill is result of study committee of GAL Board.
LSR 0352 relative to complaint investigation procedures of the guardian ad litem board. Another bill coming out of study committee.
LSR 0435 establishing the New Hampshire condominium law review board. This bill is result of study committee I chaired. AG's office has asked for help with complaints.
LSR 0551 repealing the exotic aquatic weeks and species committee. This bill is result of being on this committee and seeing first hand that they were not filling their duties as the statue charged. Their only interest is "mil-foil" as the active members all have lakeshore properties.
LSR 0563 repealing the commission to study water infrastructure sustainability funding. Result of another commission I was on that were not filling their duties as charged. Didn't even file required end of year final report.
These are just a start: more will follow. I have also signed off on others as a co-sponsor and will work with bill's sponsor to get them passed.

I need some powerlifters opinions.
I haven't even had one powerlifting meet under my belt. Once was training for one and cut my hand so I decided to cut bodyfat, and never made the opportunity to do it again.
Currently 5'8" 228 lbs 26.8% bodyfat. I was up to 236 about 8 weeks ago and my strongest then, pretty flat since then since my calories have been under maintenance. lifts, bench 345x5, squat 415x5, deadlift 445x3, reverse band box squat 495x3 all beltless and without wrist wraps on bench.
Really kind of wanted to work towards a 2x bw squat and 3x bw S/DL, or more importantly even hitting 400 bench and 600 S/DL at any weight. I was thinking it would be fun to compete somewhere between 198, 220, or 242 weight classes at any given time.
The bodyfat seems to be a bit excessive, but every time I cut I feel too weak to continue, I have done long term cuts and maintained a lot of strength, and fast ones but in the end as I get smaller I still end up feeling weak and gain more weight. I mean I imagine if at some point my body is most competitive heavier at like 264 and that is primary goal I will go with what works for me. But at this point never competing I hate to carry excess weight if it is unnecessary and isn't even a large portion lean body mass.
I know many bodybuilders try to keep the fat gain to a minimum and cut more often to stay at a certain range. But do I really honestly need to do this? I can't decide which way to go with this. I mean if I cut now and then bulk I will obviously be bulking from a weaker starting point. If I bulk first at least I could break some records, but then cutting afterwards could be an issue.
I also get some advice where they say not to worry about my main lifts and do more cardio and circuit based routines and get below 20% in a short time period like 2 months. I know that would hurt my lifts, but at the same time help to keep me from hurting myself while on a deficit. But then I imagine most of the bulk would be getting back the strength that I lost not getting actually stronger, I mean in the end it will net a positive in some way or another.
Feel free to ask questions about my goals or whatever to give me decent advice. Not sure what's best right now.
I would just change my diet up and try and recomp at the same bodyweight. Unless you're unhealhy or give a crap about being jacked and tan, then I would change your diet first and not try and do anything extreme over the short term. Eat cleaner and at the level you need to maintain your weight. I did a diet with Brandon Lilly, and recomped a bit over the course of 6 months. I wasn't looking to get ripped I just wanted to put on some muscle and get my bloodwork a bit cleaned up. I don't have percentages or anything else, but I definitely lost fat and maintained my weight. The diet is pretty high in healthy fats. I'v seen some other guys lose 30 lbs and get shredded and stronger on carb cycling. But I think this only works for certain people and you have to be a bit OCD about it.
At your height, 220 is a good longterm weightclass and over time you could reduce your bf% and still train around 230 and just keep getting leaner with time. For your first meet though, just do it and don't worry about weight class.
You can reduce your bf% without your lifts getting destroyed in the process. You just need to be patient and take things slow. Also, monitor your levels of assistance work, carb intake, and GPP work. If you try to cut calories, increase your conditioning, and get stronger at the same time, typically something gives within a week or two. Plan something out and follow that plan, monitoring your progress.
The old saying was to gain weight until your DL went down (or as some now would say, your wilks). Then get leaner.
Trample the weak, hurdle the dead
Satisfaction is the Death of Desire...
Thanks for the input, I've basically been losing weight and trying to get stronger from april ish 2010 to december 2011. Went from 230 to 193, but really it was after I got below 210 that I started getting weaker. So since december I have slowly come up to 236 then last two months down to 228 from diet changes. Thing is it's really hard to get stronger without food. I'm really hesitant to maintain as that long term weight loss resulted in less gains than I would hope for, and was brutal. I imagine eating closer to maintenance calories I could make some decent progress over time, it just seems slower, I mean I should have plenty of patience it's taken me many years to even get to here. But I also tend to shift goals over time.
So the advice given is stick somewhere close to where i am at weight-wise. Which I think 220 at my height is great, would be more great if I was 15% bodyfat however, and could keep increasing strength.
When I was about to prep for my first meet I weighed about the same, didn't want to bother cutting to 220 as a newbie so I figured it was 242, so I was going to eat enough that I was never hungry and made consistent gains even if it meant gaining a few lbs. I probably would have come in in mid upper 230s. I could prep in a similar fashion, thing is I do want to increase my GPP because this year I have been lax on it trying to focus on my main lifts and it has resulted in more focus being on them, but it's to a point they are falling behind again, and when I was doing it consistently it was too much but I was in great shape as far as doing things and not getting winded.
I do appreciate the advice, but still trying to piece together my game plan.
I would stay at 220 for a couple of meets. Just to get your feet wet. However, I would start researching carb backloading. And with ALN's supplements it is easy to follow the program. I went from 277 to 220 this year and it was easy.

Never cut! Why build all that beautiful strength and muscle and then lose it so you can see abs? Don't get fat, but stay big and strong.
First off, NEVER worry about the weight class for your first meet! Just train, eat and recover and go into the meet and get your first "official" total. From there, decide which is going to be more important of a goal for you... strength or visible abs. When you're first breaking into this sport (PL) it is VERY hard to have both. A perfect example is Mark Bell. One of the strongest guys around and one of the best trainers in the sport. After a few decades of powerlifting he decided to get into shape and drop some BF%. Now look at him! He's strong as fuck and ripped! But do you think he could've broke into this sport if he tried to be cut up AND strong at the same time? Probably not. Lift heavy, eat big and build a damn good base. Then worry about tightening it all up later.

My Training Log -
I say this because I think a long term one year cut would be worse, because in that year I could have done a short cut and then spent more time eating at above maintenance calories and progressing. I think I would lose more strength, but in the end still net a profit. I'm not an expert and haven't done this enough to know, but really think it's possible. Maybe I shouldn't bother with cutting for now I dunno, maybe it is a bit silly and I need to stop caring about other people. Seriously I am in pretty much my best shape ever, I may be bigger than your average person but could still outperform them even in endurance activities. They think in shape means how you look, but much rather be big and fat than skinny fat and unable to do anything. But comments I get lately really piss me off. Especially at work people see how much I eat and tell me outright I'm going to get fat, meanwhile person saying it is huge in a bad way, the worst part is I'm being told this while I am losing weight, so he is obviously wrong.
The worst is relatives on my wife's side of the family, all they care about is p90x and who is the skinniest, and how many egg whites they ate, really annoying.
Sorry for ranting, but the pressures sometimes make me want to just get shredded and tell them all to stfu.
if I do cut for a while I would bulk right after then maintain and see how I am doing, I just would hate to not improve during the process. I dunno maybe I'm being retarded.
I tried looking up powerlifting meets within 5 hours of where I live and only found one in november, and nothing listed for next year yet. I need better resources to find out more about meets so I can plan for one and at least semi prepare, get it on the calendar and have a goal to shoot towards. I really have made a lot of progress and want to get involved and be able to say i'm training instead of using the term "working out" or just "lifting."
Powerlifting Watch has a pretty thorough meet listing section.
Regarding the comments, you have to learn to ignore those. I have freinds who are legit fat (no muscle at all, just fat) or so skinny and weak they can't even bench 135 who somehow come up with a way to negate my strength (i.e "Who cares if you are strong if you dont have abs, it doesn't count).
I think cutting is stupid, you are looking to compete, you are going to loose strength if you cut. You certainly have a higher bodyfat but I think thats a great opportunity to clean up the diet and try to recomp at your current weight while getting stronger.
Worrying about what you look like is a great way to get nowhere, except for bodybuilding, what you look like does not matter. No professional athletes are concerned about their apperence, they're concerned about performance. Clean up your deit, do more GPP, but stop worrying about how you look when what you really want to do is perform.

I've done really well with my Carb Backloading diet. 8 weeks in and I am just as strong as I was at 320 and I'm down to 300#
With that said, unless you are trying to break records in a weight class who cares what you weigh. If you are sick of being sloppy-looking just try to lose a little fat while lifting heavy but don't pay any attention to the scale.
Keep your calories up but keep them clean calories and you'll get a good, slow change that won't kill your strength.
Oh, and go do a meet.
I went in to my last meet after trying to walk off pneumonia for a month and with a few broken toes from my wife dropping a dime on my foot ( lame, I know)..... I bombed out..... but I still gave it a fair shot. There's no reason to hold back and wait for some magical time when you'll feel ready.
Meet PR's: 1008-750-750 - 2464
Gym PR's... don't count ... time to do another meet!
I think i'm going to do this short cut, then a few months of bulking, if I don't hit 405 bench during the bulk then I will know I screwed up and not to do it again.
On PL watch I searched all feds, from now till december of next year for two states and it only brought up one meet. One is this november but I have an almost two year old and 3 week old twins to help take care of right now, can't really travel.
I mean, cutting obviously isn't ideal for strength gains, but you CAN gain strength when on a cut.
Obviously, not as much as my deadlift, but I also had some injuries hold me back. Not trying to say that it's ideal, because obviously it's not, but you can make strength gains on a cut. Science probably disproves this, but my personal experience disproves that "science", because, obviously I made strength gains.
deadlift tends to be effected different with weight changes. Being heavier doesn't help quite the same. Also if you are a beginner it may be easier to make progress while losing weight.
I know strength and muscle aren't perfectly related. But if you look at some of the studies with regard to increasing muscle mass, there's benefits to being lean.
Personally I make great strength gains as long as I eat well, satisfy my appetite basically, it also usually results in some weight gain, at my height I don't want to really do it indefinitely.
Take a really fat guy and get him to start working out and eating healthier, he is going to loose weight and get stronger, he can even loose lots of weight and get stronger, I wouldn't consider that the same kind of cut the OP is talking about however.

Falcon anyone who got that much stronger while losing close to 100lbs really wasn't training super hard and focused prior to the cut.
Any elite level powerlifter who were to drop that amount of weight would lose significant amounts of strength at some point.
You're not disproving science or really anything. There are far too many variables here to make a general statement that will apply to everyone.

The primary goal of the Honors Program is to offer students a transformative learning experience that provides more than a knowledge base and set of skills that can influence their interactions with the world. Rather, the Honors curriculum is deliberately designed to foster a way of seeing, thinking, valuing and behaving that necessarily influences a student's interactions because it has become an authentic and intrinsic element of his or her identity and humanity. We cultivate such transformational learning by creating academic situations that (a) bring students in closer contact with their teachers and peers (b) engage topics and issues in greater depth, subtlety and complexity than is possible in larger non-honors courses that necessarily must serve a wider range of learning levels (c) place more of the impetus for learning on the individual student themselves and (d) allow for a more individualized realization of educational objectives.
The Honors Program foundation courses are either specially designated sections of university core courses (e.g., PHIL 1001 or 2310) or are courses that have been specially created by departments for the Honors Program (e.g., ENGL 1301 and 1302). Smaller than ordinary, restricted to Honors Program students, and taught by instructors aware of and committed to the educational ideals of the Honors Program, both types of foundation courses enrich the student's core curricular experience and provide an important foundation for participation in Honors Program seminar series.
During the first and second years, Honors Program students are required to take eight foundation courses (total of 24 credit hours). These courses are either (a) honors sections of university core courses or (b) are courses that have been specially created by departments for the Honors Program (the latter also satisfies university core requirements). Required foundation courses and credits are listed below:
Each year, honors students are required to take one course in the Honors Program seminar series. These seminars build progressively upon earlier honors experiences to nurture the type of intellectual acuity, independence, and maturity characteristic of Honors Program graduates. Note that all seminars can be taken either semester except for HOPR 1953, which is offered only in the fall semester.
For complete details on the Marquette University Honors Program please visit the Honors website.
See the Honors Program section of the Undergraduate Bulletin for information about a four-year course plan for honor students and/or contact Chris Perez, assistant dean for academic affairs.
