Botanical name: Banksia integrifoliaFamily: Proteaceae
Banksia cones can be soaked in water to extract the nectar and make a sweet drink.
Coast Banksia is found in primary dune scrub and coastal woodlands. It grows in Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania.
This tree grows 10–20 m tall and 5–10 m wide. It requires well-drained soil and summer watering to become established. The bark becomes gnarled and fissured with age. It is a useful plant for controlling dune erosion.

At the beginning of June, the motorcycle registration expired. Dave's dad will get the new one in the mail, which he'll forward to a contact in Istanbul. But there are two borders to be crossed before we get to Istanbul. With an expired registration. Whaddaya gonna do? A little computer magic, most likely, with the scanned version of the old registration. Dave happens to be an accomplished computer magician and has produced a fine-looking-if-one-sided-version-of-a-registration that just happens to expire in June 2006. The following transpires at the Bulgarian border:
Jovial border guy at control booth (skeptically examining fine-looking-if-one-sided-version-of-a-registration): '' What is THIS?''
Dave: ''It's a California registration.''
Jovial border guy at control booth (with skeptical chortle): ''California registration?''
Dave: ''California registration.''
Jovial border guy at control booth (with skeptical chortle): "California registration?!"
Dave: "California registration!"
JBGACB (with continuing skeptical chortle): ''Crazy Californians.''
Thus we are welcomed to Bulgaria.
The welcome feeling continues when we stop into the first town of Ruse, which the book says has one of the nicest main squares in the country. All the signs are now in Cyrillic, so along with the standard new-country feeling of slight disorientation comes the added confusion of inability to read where we're going. All we see is boring apartment blocks. The young guy at the gas station speaks no English but tries his best to decipher our non-Cyrillic map and is profusely apologetic when he can't. He smiles and wishes us good luck. We've had a late start so plans to explore Ruse are abandoned for continuing to the day's destination, the hillside fort town of Veliko Tarnovo. Where we get lost again. Another guy stops to ask if we need help. He doesn't speak enough English to give us any but it's so nice to feel all this friendliness.
The town is laid out on hillside ridges.
The initial approach reveals the castle and some low walls a third of the way down the hill. The road leads into a small older area which appears to be the extent of town until you continue a bit further and find yourself in a more modern main street covered with a plethora of fashion stores and trendy restaurants. You can't tell unless you climb high above on another hill that a typical apartment block part of the city extends much further into the distance.
In the center of town, we're approached by an older woman offering a room. She, perhaps, is too friendly. She takes us up to her apartment, which is okay, but when Dave tells her he needs a place to secure the motorcycle (which she does not have), she will not give up. It is hot and we're sweating in the moto gear but she drags us "just a few minutes" (40, there and back) across town to where she says the moto can be parked. It isn't secure. Still she won't take no for an answer. Over and over and over she says, "My place is in centar. In centar. Is good for you." It is with GREAT difficulty that we finally take leave of this chatty, slightly desperate and obsessive person.
More cruising around town takes place. There are some motorcycle guys, so we pull over to chat. They are from Veliko Tarnovo and one of them apparently owns a hotel nearby. As we stand around talking a bit he pulls a rifle out of his leather jacket. Guess we better tell him we like his hotel. "There's been a problem with wild dogs biting children so we're doing some hunting," says his friend. The guy looks just as likely to shoot some of the children. His hotel is too high-class for us but fortunately the gun remains focused on the dogs.
Onward ho. We spot a narrow cobbled street lined with classic old Bulgarian-style houses.
The approach is quite scenic, with a view of the homes seemingly perched one atop the other, amphitheater style. A murky brown river courses around a small promentory, which harbors an imposing statue and a stately museum.
However the narrow rutted road has no obvious outlet. Not wanting to be stuck in the laps of those curious old ladies who are eyeing the rather large motorcycle, we turn the bike around and head back.
At the start of the road, a bearded academic-looking guy about 40 engages us in conversation. He lives, he says, down the road and has rented rooms to people, but says his rooms are "simple". We don't care, simple is good; but though he brought up the rooms he doesn't seem that eager to show them. After chatting a while he leads us back down the same narrow road, Dave gingerly maneuvering the bike through the cobblestones and Erika walking alongside.
He tells Erika that both his parents died in the last 2 years, that people in the town are not much of a community, and that he lost his job some time ago. 10 minutes later we're back at the same spot where we'd just made the turn back out. A crumbling structure stands before us. He unlocks the door and we step in. Dust lines sheets of ancient plastic covering a bed heaped with clothes, books, a broken chair. Plaster is peeling off the walls. The windows are cracked and dim with dirt. "It would take just a few minutes to get it ready", says the guy. Um. And where is the bathroom? we wonder. He walks across a hallway spiked with protruding wood planks to a small room on the right. There's a low round thing with a board over it and a bucket of something on that, apparently a toilet. He mentions needing to take something out. This is hopefully not a reference to excrement. We like this guy, but. No sign of surprise shows on on his face at our euphimistic apology and departure.
Back up to the center of town, it's been hours since we arrived. We're really hot and tired. When yet another guy approaches us with offers for a room, with a garage, there is no hesitation. He hops into a car and we follow him down that same narrow street, the THIRD time this afternoon, to a spanking new place with a big airy room and a fabulous view across the river. Bingo! Dave stows the bike in the garage. It's a fine feeling to walk by the curious old ladies and say hello without the barrier of our astronaut gear.
And a good thing the place ends up being comfortable, as Dave will be spending the next 48 hours in bed there after picking up a nasty case of food poisoning. Images of sitting you-know-where in the previous crumbling residence and taking out bucketfuls of...stop! enough, we won't go there.
Before succumbing to the evil intestinal bacterial invasion, Dave has time to accompany Erika across the long green ridge draped in fortress decor.
A small group of tourists is entertained by royally dressed marionnettes, their voices propelled from somewhere else like the human sitting next to them.
Historical religious events are depicted in stark modernist style within the fortress church; jolting and incongruous to the traditional setting yet also strangely compelling.
At a small souvenir stall, we are given a short lesson in the Bulgarian language by a sweet young woman who is helping her mom out for the afternoon.
The castle boasts a light show that can be seen from the riverview restaurant, where we watch while being served a truly gluttinous amount of food. Okay, so we ordered 2 pizzas, 2 breads and a salad, but portions were much smaller in Romania. Every last crumb is heroically gulped down as the castle fades from red to green to blue to gold against the darkened sky.
In case you're ready to buy that wispy pastel beachwear and those sparkly summer sandals, Veliko Tarnovo has them. It's a consumer paradise compared to Romania. The large, chain-type restaurants (serving intriguing tidbits like "stuffed chicken mess in veil") underscore the city's gravitation toward Western-style trendiness. We're also struck by the abundance of real estate offices--there must be two on every block. Dave pores over catalogs in one of the offices and considers buying a 15,000 euro fixer.
For the next few days, Erika lackadaisically peruses the merchandise between bouts of nursing unhappy Dave. More interesting than the stores is the National Bulgarian Museum, with its modern religious and secular portraits.
She walks up 488 steps to the top of a hill but finds none of the anticipated views--disappointing, but good exercise. One evening we can see equipment being set up for a concert at the museum/monument across the way. A European Union flag is draped behind the stage, but we can't figure out the actual theme of the event. There are a number of impassioned speakers along with some surprisingly good singers.
In all, 5 days pass before we leave Veliko Tarnovo. A fierce competition occurs between the street's old ladies as to who will get to keep Dave. Luckily for Erika he ultimately decides to continue on with her.
Bulgaria is famous for its monasteries, most of which are in the part of the country we're not going to. The closest to our route is Dryavno, in a small wooded valley en route to Tryavna.
An older guy in the parking lot tells us that the monastery is a 45 minute walk away and offers (for a price) a guided tour. The distance doesn't seem right--isn't that the monastery right next to the parking lot? Erika goes poking around the ajoining grounds (which are indeed the monastery) while Dave talks to our would-be tour guide. He tells a plaintive story of being a French and English teacher for many years but having no work now. When offering his services to a tourist agency in the large seaside town of Varna he was told he was too old. Can you get me a visa to come to America? he pleads. Would that it were so easy...
Instead we continue on to Tryavna, a charming town showcasing traditional Bulgarian stone-and-wood homes.
Though it hasn't been blasted into complete tourist purgatory yet, it is apparently familiar enough with foreign visitors to provide our first taste of dual pricing. Tourist attractions generally cost about 4 times what locals pay. It should be easy enough for the desk clerk at a large hotel to rattle off the cost of a room for two, but instead she must consult her calculator to come up with that outlandish figure. Staying in a local person's home costs less, but it still isn't all that cheap. When will everything start getting cheaper? We enjoy the free things, like finding a local street fair and listening to the old town clock sing Bulgarian folk songs at 10:00 pm.
The countryside isn't as dramatic as places we've been in the past, but the riding is pleasant. We ascend a low mountain pass that from a distance looks almost tropical. It isn't high enough to have pine forest but is covered in thick scruffy groves of trees and brush. At the summit towers a strikingly weird monument. It is Shipska, some kind of war memorial. We mount the stairs get a closer look but don't go inside due to more dual pricing, which Dave boycotts in principle.
The first in a series of afternoon rainstorms starts now. Soon it's pouring down and the mountains disappear from sight. You can smell something wonderful--it's lavender, from fields barely visible in the rain.
The small rutted road gets smaller and ruttier as time passes. Potholes filled with water dare you to guess their depth. Dave doesn't know exactly how deep some of these rain-filled potholes are, but blasts through them on the Transalp anyway. Bump, splash, ouch, bump. It's kind of a useless, surreally nonsensical experience to ask directions from people whose language you can't understand, but worth a try for entertainment value.
In due time we reach Plovdiv. The manager at the accomondations agency speaks French, which she learned by growing up in the same building as the Belgian Consulate, which currently houses the accomodations place. We meet two American-seeming Malaysian backpackers who are also trying to navigate the lodging system. The room is a few kilometers away, with friendly hosts and a big hairy rug. It appears to have been harvested off the back of a yak hibernating near an anthill in a duststorm. One hesitates to speculate what might be nesting within. Erika attempts to shake it out the window. In the nick of time she hoists its mildewed bulk back inside, fortunately sparing any number of unsuspecting innocent pedestrians the tragic fate of suffocation by yak rug. Ick, now the sheets are covered with musty dust. Maybe we can shove it under the bed. Eew, now the floor is covered with musty dust. Perhaps it is meant that we walk on yak hair now as an introduction to yurts to be encountered later in the trip.
Plovdiv is a large town in the center of the country with that classic combination of features: a nice old town, a classic European style pedestrian walkway, tree-lined apartment-block-filled streets, and yucky industrial outskirts. It's not all flashy or striking but again there's something pleasant about the atmosphere.
The first night we discover parks with trendy pubs and the walkways with their abundance of capitalist opportunities. So many more than in ex-Yugoslavia, though the peeling apartment blocks look pretty familiar.
It's confusing to find the old town. We stop at a park bench filled with a group of older gentlemen enjoying the shade.
They pore over our map but can't seem to agree on directions.
After about 25 minutes of listening to animated Bulgarian a friend of theirs comes along who speaks French. He translates the story of his 80-year old friend, clearly a sharp and interesting guy. While the French speaker became a doctor, as did his 2 sons and his wife, his friend held over 20 jobs assigned by the Communists; he was never able to pursue what he really wanted. The 80 year old finally offers to walk us to the old town, as he lives nearby. While the frustrating language barrier has briefly disappeared with the help of our French translator, the liveliness dissipates as soon as we're alone with our Bulgarian-speaking guide. What a richer experience it could be if only we knew more of the language.
The old town turns out to be 5 minutes from the park bench (that was 5 minutes of discussion for every minute of walking.) Its shady cobbled streets are peaceful and classy.
Erika falls in love with some ink drawings done by a kindly white-bearded artist and buys her first souvenir of the trip--you can't carry much of anything extra when a year's worth of gear for two people must fit in two 9"x16"x18'' side cases.
At the top of the hill is the completely preserved and restored Roman amphitheater, still used for concerts and other events, and a good view of the city.
It is fortuitous to meet the French speaking doctor on the park bench as Dave's ear has been stuffed up. The doctor writes up "I need to see an ear/nose/throat doctor" in Cyrillic along with the address of a clinic; so on the last morning in Plovdiv it's off to the otolaryngologist. The clinic is conveniently located around the corner from our room, in (of course) a big communist-style building. Erika anticipates hours of waiting with hundreds of people and is pleasantly surprised to find that Dave's prediction of a brief stay is correct. Dave is pleasantly surprised to find it will cost only 4 times what locals pay ($20) for his ear problems to be flushed away.
The nice doctor does a fine job, though, and 10 minutes later we leave the clinic with city noises returned to their usual decibel.
Leaving town involves the usual disorientation: exiting roundabouts on the same street we'd entered; driving down dead-end roads near abandoned buildings; recognizing landmarks we'd passed ten minutes before. Dave gets it all sorted out eventually. Then there's another rainstorm. More potholes and confusion. After all this, staying away from another big city sounds pretty appealing.
A large restored fort overlooks the city of Shouman. No one else seems to be staying at the lodge in a thick pine forest nearby. The atmosphere seems to be of another era, perhaps one when it was frequented by a more glamorous class of people. It still retains a bit of its faded elegance; fortunately the prices reflect the fading part. The proprietor cooks us what must be the only food in the kitchen at the moment: meatballs and french fries.
Fueled by some after-dinner raki, Erika sets out to find the fort. It's supposed to be a mere 300 meters from the hotel. Walk, walk, walk, not a fort to be found--just a grove of silver trunked trees glowing in the dusky light. After passing a large building where a Bulgarian version of "Hotel California" is blasting, the forest feels very still and the birdsong seems to echo off every leaf. A new sound she can't place contributes a slow, metallic beat to the evening serenade. The faintly visible image is as indecipherable as its accompanying sound, shadowed and dissected by the multitude of tree trunks. Why, it's that big musty yak, returned-to-life, traversing the forest with a green dye job. As its means of transport brings it close enough to see, the yak redefines itself. What do you know, it's a mass of hay, farmer atop, pulled by a horse-drawn cart. The horse's hooves fade away as the cart passes through, leaving the birdsong triumphant once more. Somehow it feels like one of those transcendent magical travel moments. Or maybe it's just the raki.
Next morning, a 300 meter walk in the OTHER direction leads straight to the fort. It's too early for anyone to be at the booth collecting entrance fees, so entrance is free. The walls can be summited for a panorama of Shouman and an overview of the remaining foundations below.
On the way out, someone is walking towards the ticket booth--time to pay up. Instead, the young man takes us inside a small museum with artifacts from the region. He is studying ancient history and searches for the best English he can find to painstakingly explain the meaning of each and every terra cotta fragment. We offer up money at the end, but he waves it aside, saying, "You are my friends".
Shouman is also known for the Monument of Bulgarian Founders, looming over the city on a ridge across from the fort. Our book awards it high accolades along the lines of "ugliest monument ever". From a distance it does look kinda like some industrial complex severed by earthquake into bulky piles of awkward jutting blocky angles. It's almost as strange, though more interesting, up close.
Less interesting and predominantly strange is the old-tasting kebap lunch that day, obtained from a small street stand in Shouman. Erika KNEW she shouldn't have finished that thing.....
It's raining again en route to the big seaside vacation town of Varna.
A sign leads to an accomodations place at the train station, but they insist that there are no places anywhere in town with garages to store the motorcycle. A friendly Bulgarian guy who's noticed the bike strikes up a conversation--turns out he's lived in San Diego for the last 10 years and is visiting Varna on business now. He rides a motorcycle also and expresses regrets that he can't show us the local sights, but his train leaves in 10 minutes. Ah well.
But the eternal question--where to stay? Alongside a bustling shaded street is another accomodations place. In about three minutes the sweet young woman locates a room with garage. Dave is finally to get his wish: lodging in a Communist apartment block! The old lady waiting for us outside the building speaks no English but seems unflustered by the American tourists on the big bike.
We stay in what must have been her son's room; photos of an intense, serious-looking young boy morphed into an intense, serious-looking young man eye us warily as if to make sure we behave in his mother's apartment.
Varna is well equipped as a worthwhile tourist destination. There's the Archaological Museum around the corner (second floor closed for renovation);
the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin (or was that Ascention? what was she assuming, anyway?);
pedestrian promenades with many consumer opportunities;
traditional dance performances by Bulgarian kids and accompanying thunder showers;
and around 8 kilmoteres of beaches lined with restaurants and nightclubs and a buffer of similar length parkland to keep out reminders of the city.
Varna also supposedly has ruins of Roman baths, but they are hidden amidst a warren of narrow streets that refuse to yield any hint of this elusive attraction. Finally someone points us to a street one block from where we'd been circling ad nauseum, and there they are. It's an unusual arrangement: on one end is a pretty church; the rest of the ruins, which cover a small city block, are surrounded by modern residences and condos.
A search for the quieter side of the Black Sea coast leads to the UNESCO World Heritage villages of Nesebar and Sozopol. Both are small, well-preserved historical towns on promentories surrounded by ocean. Not a lot of tourists up til now; but that must be because they've all been in Nesebar, fighting over the best souvenir.
There's a reason places attract lots of sightseers, and it's clear why people are flocking here: quaint to the point of cliche, its cobblestone streets are lined with stores selling kitch to overweight sunburned consumers. It also has seaside fish restaurants with hawkers luring people in and typical Bulgarian homes and churches with their stone and wood facades.
Across the water lies Sunny Beach, which we were told by a few Bulgarians was a must-see. It's a Cancun style community with way too many condos and hotels. Must-leave.
Maybe Sozopol will be better. The ride south is pleasant, with far less (though still some) coastal development apparent. The route swings through the unappealing industrial outskirts of the large city of Burgas, where the thermometer jumps 15 degrees. Fortunately there are no skeletons of uprising highrises as Sozopol beckons in the distance; just a 2 lane road hugging a campsite-strewn beach and a small harbor. We cruise through the still-touristy but less-innundated old town before finding a place on the outskirts. The view isn't so scenic, encompassing as it does some smaller-scale construction to the south.
But there's a beach below for that long-awaited dip in the ocean, and a low-key yet lively stretch of seaside cafes and restaurants where families are strolling and buying their inflatable water paraphernalia. Erika's morning walk a few kilometers to the old town uncovers sleepy cobbled streets not yet tramelled by descending hordes. Sozopol easily earns The Official Dave and Erika Bulgarian Seal of Pleasantness.
There's only one more night before heading to Turkey, and we still want to explore the much-less developed coast further south. The road winds through small coastal towns where the only visitors seem to be cows catching a tan on the sand.
As clouds gather again, we pull off the road into the miniscule town of Sinemorets to a coastline reminiscent of Sonoma County, California.
What a great view of the quiet beach, dramatic with stormy sky. Wonder if that unusual umbrella-strewn geometric blue building might be a guesthouse?
The young, artsy-looking, English-speaking woman at the gate brings us into the high-ceilinged courtyard, where her father and some friends are gathered around a greasy lunch and bottles of alcohol. Haunted by memories of lardy overindulgence at Mihaelo's place in Bosnia, we politely decline. But we accept invitation to stay in the hippily atmospheric upstairs room, complete with triangular balcony overlooking the sea, as Fleetwood Mac blares from the stereo in the bar.
Sinemorets is low key, though the sky stirs up some intensity as winds howl all night and buckets of water dump from the heavens. Luckily only about 2 buckets leak through the balcony doors onto the floor. Next morning's early beach walk under grey is just a short leg-stretcher before we tackle the long ride to Istanbul.

Learn about aerodynamics, build a project and take it home, enjoy story time and more. Fun for the whole family, workshops are 90 minutes each, weekends only. Explore the new How Planes Are Made area in the Gallery (daily).
Bernoulli's Masks - (7/19, 7/20, 8/23, 8/24)
During this workshop, participants can combine the science of flight with the power of their own creativity. Bernoulli showed how changes in the speed of a moving fluid (including air) change its pressure. Aerospace engineers can use this principle to create wings that create lift. Workshop participants can try several demonstrations and then create their own mask, using Bernoulli's principle to add a fun surprise to their creations.
Folded Flight - (7/26, 7/27, 8/30, 8/31)
The paper airplane has always been an iconic image, conveying a sense of fun and light-hearted experimentation, but it can also be a powerful tool for education. The Folded Flight workshop will instruct participants on the construction of three different paper airplanes, each with their own distinct flight characteristics. The workshop will also discuss control surfaces and other aircraft components, demonstrating the dramatic changes in flight that come with a few simple modifications.
The Amazing Hipster Hoopster - (8/2, 8/3)
As aviation technology develops, new designs and ideas become increasingly important. With that in mind, you're invited to explore the unusual shape of the annular, or circular, wing. Participants can discuss different experimental designs and examine the surprising results.
Earth's Original Aviators: The Power of Natural Flight - (7/5, 7/6, 8/9, 8/10)
Have you ever wondered how a bird controls its feathers? Have you heard someone say that bees are aerodynamically impossible? Come and explore the strange and amazing methods birds and other creatures use to take flight, while also examining new technology derived from natural systems. Each participant will have a chance to design their own artificial bird, using four different wing shapes.
Design-a-Plane Workshop - (7/12, 7/13, 8/16, 8/17)
Spending time at Paine Field is a lot of fun; there are always interesting aircraft taking off and landing. But what are they? During this workshop, participants can learn a few of the famous faces that appear regularly over Everett, while also learning some key design elements that make airplanes work. Future designers can also use simple construction materials and templates to make their own model, a design limited only by their imagination.

See August On the Markets from the Global Investment Committee featuring
• "Transition Time" The Federal Reserve has continually told investors that they would be very patient and slow to raise short-term interest rates. Now, strong employment data has raised the possibility of sooner-than-expected rate hikes, says Mike Wilson, chief investment officer of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, and markets could continue to be volatile until they have fully recalibrated to an accelerated timetable.
• "Fishing for Stocks in the Market's Midstream" The cheapest stocks in the S&P 500—those with the lowest price/earnings ratios—are not necessarily the best stocks to own at this point in the market cycle. The better investments appear to be closer to the market averages.
• "Keep an Opportunistic Eye on Mexico and India" Emerging market equities have performed well so far this year, but the Global Investment Committee is underweight in the asset class for a number of reasons, including rich valuations and a vulnerability to rising US interest rates. That said, Mexico and India stand apart. Political change and economic reforms could make them future stars.
Plus, look for more on economics, fixed income investments and real estate.

Wow! I too have had a busy day. I took my little doggy to the dog groomers and brought my son to work. I attended a job fair at a local unemployment office. Then I had to get the dog from the groomers and bring him home. My son called for a ride home from work and so I drove to his job to pick him up. I walked the dogs this morning and then again this afternoon and now I need to take the dog out for a short walk before bed. Linda from bean town
Linda from bean town EST
With class this morning, work at computer this afternoon and a meeting tonight, not much chance for exercise today. I did get to go for a nice long walk but won't hit 10K steps today.
Toni I am with you tracking food keeps honest. Got in a 60 minute walk this morning and it felt great. I had a really hard time figuring out how to get in some exercise on the vacation days. I finally just got up early and got out for about 20 minutes before breakfast. On one day I didn't do a historical tour but did 30 minute walk in the surrounding park. I need to keep identifying ways to put the exercise in.

Team leader for 50+ members with 10-24 pounds to lose Team
Today one coworker is back from being sick and the other one is out sick! I may be the oldest, but I'm certainly the healthiest! I have to think if they'd each lose 70+ lbs. their health would improve. One of my motivations for maintaining is to set a good example. I was spacy when I got up this morning. I was hunting in my bag for the name badge I'd already put around my neck, then I was three blocks from home when I realized that I hadn't put my wallet in my bag. At least I remembered it in time to go back for it. I'm taking my Mom shopping after work and it would be embarrassing to get to the store and then realize it was gone. I'm ready for the weekend already!
Today's workout:
Cardio, core, weights, two Sparkpeople videos, stretching.
Yesterday an afternoon walk.
Thanks, Toni, although I am not at work today. I have leave through Monday for the U.S. FreedomWalk in Arlington, VA ( www.usfreedomwalk.org ). Still, I AM glad the shutdown is over.
Today should have been a swim day, but when I got out of the car at the rec center and checked my bag, I jumped back in the car and drove home. I fear the rec center would have not taken kindly to me swimming in my birthday suit, so DH and I went for a walk instead.
Will be offline the next few days working at the walking festival.

Heading up to northern Wisconsin for a 4 day disabled archery deer hunt so wish me luck. Kept calories at or below normal and exercise high for the first part of the week to compensate for the next 4 days. Should be ok as at low end of weight goal. Have a great run everyone. And glad the government stopped acting like little kids and got things running again.
MOVING AND MAINTAINING. Yesterday is gone, let it go, tomorrow hasn't happened, don't long for it. Today is the present .........enjoy it
Thanks Sunnybeachgirl and all the rest of you who congratulated me on my happy anniversary. We had a splendid day and ate 2 days worth of food at a favorite restaurant. Sigh. But that was yesterday and yesterday's gone, right? LOL and today I have all day to make more lean meals. We also drove to Gordonsville and walked all around that little Piedmont VA town. I love these small towns nestled in the Virginia countryside. I like to imagine them 50 years ago or 100 or 150.
Pam - hope you are feeling better. Glad everyone gets to go back to work at last. Toni - do you think we'll ever get two sunny days in a row? Everyone have a happy Friday Eve!
Believe it
Do it
Become it
Hello all! Looks like things are looking good around here. I'm with Toni, so relieved the government shut down has ended for now.
I've been slipping every other day or so lately but I'm very thankful for this team helping me regroup every day instead of continuing to slide!
Onward with the Thursday!

Calories are toward the low end of my range, and I got in a little walking despite this being a travel day, and a rainy one at that. Will probably walk a bit in our bungalow (bure) so I can get in my minimum of miles for the day.
"Dance as if no one is watching."
Grateful for gov action this am and that Celia can go back to work.
Back on track. The couple of pounds I picked up are gone and I am relieved. Weighing in is key for me. It doesn't make me obsessed, it makes me FOCUSED.
Thx for being here Maintainers.
Go slow to go fast.

Morning M, happy to hear your car is fixed and you are well.
Still maintaining and holding my own. Today starts my weekend and that is always a good thing.
Plenty to do around here today and upcoming. Yard work and outside chores should keep me plenty busy.
Best to all

Watch your thoughts for they become words.
Watch your words for they become actions.
Watch your actions for they become habits.
Watch your habits for they become your character.
And watch your character for it becomes your destiny.
Good morning! Yaaay--my car is fixed and I slept well last night!
Welcome Paula!
I'm headed out the door for a 60+ min walk with fitness buddy and 60 min Intensity ST interval class. I'm really sore from class yesterday.
Hope Pam feels better soon and that all have a great Thursday!!

Some suggestions for the new year:
- treat all students fairly, regardless of race, gender, age, behavior, a parent's nasty attitude, the comments from last year's teachers, or a seemingly lack of interest in learning
- to realize that all children can learn, but not always at the same pace.
- stop using sarcasm as a disciplinary tool, no matter how effective it may seem.READ MORE

I wish every girl could understand why I don't date or have crushes anymore. Its simply because- unless God gives you the say so, you are dating for your own selfish ambition. Whether it be loneliness, a perfect companion (on the exterior), someone to make you laugh, you're bored, and the list goes on and on. Rarely do we ever stop and say, "God, is my relationship with this guy apart of YOUR will for my life? or is this another infatuation eclipsed by heart break?" Ya see, God doesn't want to give you a bunch of heart aches… He wants you to follow according to HIS will and purpose. I'm not worried about my "biological clock", or whether i'll look "forever alone" because 1) I serve the AUTHOR of time. 2) I am NEVER alone. (Matthew 28:20) In Matthew 6:33, it says, "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need." EVERYTHING YOU NEED… Included a HUSBAND. Just wait on His timing (Habakkuk 2:3) because HE KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU. (Matthew 6:31-33, Jeremiah 29:11) Until then, prepare your OWN heart! Looking for a Godly, passionate husband? Become a Godly, passionate woman.
*This is hallelujah!

Some sort of bike accident at #ucdavis outside regents meeting
1 comment:
When I was a kid I was in a bicycle accident where I got pitched over the handlebars and did a front flip, landing sitting down. It was astonishing and all I'd done was use the front brake alone on a hill going fairly quick.ReplyDelete

GET CRAFTY WITH FAIRY AND KONNIE HUQ – AND WIN A DISHWASHER OR £250 SPACE NK VOUCHERS. Fairy Liquid turns 50 this year and, to celebrate, the iconic white Fairy Liquid bottle is making a return to the shops for a limited time. Also, Mumsnet has joined forces with Fairy and former Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq to launch a competition to find the most creative 'junk modellers' among Mumsnetters and their children. HURRY! Closing date: 29 March.
Hello from Mumsnet Towers...
Where we're already wincing in anticipation of the hamstring twinges to come when we (and 100 of you) run the Mumsnet Marathon Relay this weekend. It's all to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Research, in memory of Twink's DH. It would be lovely if you could sponsor us.
Please take our new MN Election poll (£100 in Boden or Amazon vouchers to be won) and, while you're at it, do vote for your April Book of the Month from our dashing line-up of Irish literary talent. Our March pick, Ben Goldacre's Bad Science is due for dissection discussion on Tuesday (30 March, 8pm).
It's webchat Super-Friday this week (26th). First up, at noon, is Ann Sinnott, author of Breastfeeding Older Children. Then, at 1pm, it's Caroline Lucas, MEP and leader of the Green Party. And, as if that's not enough excitement for us all, baker and award-winning food writer Dan Lepard is coming back to the MN kitchens for a hot-cross-bun-themed Easter Bakealong on Monday morning (25th, 10.30am to 12.30pm).
Now for this week's parenting news...
Proposed ban on smoking in cars: Smoking should be banned in cars and also in public places where there are likely to be children, says the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), who'd like the upcoming review of anti-smoking laws to put young people first. Passive smoking, says the RCP, accounts for an extra 300,000 child visits to UK GPs each year. But driving and smoking lobby groups say cars are "private space". The RCP is also calling for smoking exclusion zones around school gates. (BBC News 24.03.10)
Blame the parents: Middle-class parents who 'buy off' their children with computers and video games are producing a generation who can't behave, Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), warned this week. She said that the well-off were guilty of neglecting their children by leaving them to entertain themselves. "Then they are surprised when their child isn't ready to learn," she added. Next week's ATL annual conference will debate a motion calling for schools to be given more power to deal with disruptive pupils – such as penalising parents whose children misbehave at school with benefit cuts, and forcing them to attend parenting classes. (Times 23.03.10)
READ ABOUT THE WOMAN WHO FOUNDED SAVE THE CHILDREN – AND HELP SAVE THE CHILDREN AT THE SAME TIME. Despite not being fond of children, Eglantyne Jebb dedicated her life to child welfare, winning over the Pope, the miners, European aristocracy and the Bolshevik government – and changing forever the way the world treats children. Buy Clare Mulley's award-winning book about Jebb; all profits go to Save The Children.

Aitch's TV round-up: Ashes to Ashes, BBC1, Fri 2 April, 9pm
"My name's Alex Drake and, quite frankly, your guess is as good as mine." Hah! The cheek of the writers, what magnificent gall. They shot their leading lady at the end of the last series, and she begins the new one back in the 21st century, still dreamy over Gene Hunt and, get this, so desperate to get back to the 80s that she has sent her beloved daughter to stay with her father while she sorts herself out. Yes, that's right, the same kid she spent the whole of the first two runs desperate to get back to has been ditched in favour of a virtual reality with Gene Hunt. Oh well, I suppose I can see her point...

Pollinators: other genera in this family are pollinated by insects
Fruits: achene – 1 seeded with hard shell
Blooms in Arches National Park: April, May, June, July, August, September, October

Location seen: park entrance, Delicate Arch road, park road mile 12 to 13, outside Arches National Park on Hwy. 128 around Big Bend campground
Other: The genus name, "Gaillardia", honors M. Gaillard de Charentoreau, an 18th century French Magistrate and patron of botany. The species name, "pinnatifida", means "pinnately cut" referring to the leaves.
This family is the most advanced and complex of the dicots. The family is rich in oils and resins and is found in every part of the world, but is infrequent in the tropical rainforest. Aquatic or semi-aquatic species are also uncommon.
Did You Know?
Lizards, including the colorful collared lizard, are one of the most frequently seen animals at Arches. When not chasing flies or basking in the sun, they are often seen doing what appears to be push-ups. This odd dance might enhance their stereoscopic vision, helping them see what's looking back at them.

At Kucha, Elisabeth and Alicia grin at each other while they check the clue. It must be cold because they're in their woolies. A little peak of the clue reveals that it says, "Girls Night Out." Tricky, tricky, that fucker Mark Burnett. Elisabeth exerts herself at the clue reading. Part of the clue reads, "The women will go visit," and Elisabeth hits Alicia and looks very excited about that. Jeff figures out that, "They're keeping the chicks apart" and they all exclaim that it's so sneaky to keep the girls separated. They don't seem to care that the boys will be separated too. Not that it matters since it's just a big trick anyway. Nick tells us that Kucha has a really nice camp, and they'd like to have the "home turf advantage" and remain there. Jeff, because there hasn't been dissension in five whole seconds, comments, "If we're responsible for the dinner then those girls are eatin' much better than y'all are" to Elisabeth and Alicia. Alicia says, "Wait a minute," and goes back to the clue because I guess they missed the dinner part the first time around. Alicia and Elisabeth beg for the Mountain Dew. Mmmmm…warm Mountain Dew -- my head feels like it might split apart just thinking of it. And then the Kucha men reveal that not only can't the girls do the Dew, but they will also miss the serving of the one remaining chicken, Polly or Ruby or Henrietta. Rodger tells them, "We'll let you know how it was" of the chicken, and grins. Hee. Elisabeth says they need to bring a housewarming gift to Kucha but Nick insists, "There's more of them to woo." Elisabeth, very cutely frustrated, responds, "Woo Woo Woo Woo them." Alicia stomps off while waving her finger in no one's face. Jeff keeps cackling. Elisabeth tells us that "eating plain rice with Keith and Colby" is for the betterment of the team. I really don't think it's the eating with Colby part that's bothering her.
As they hike through the Outback, Elisabeth says she'll miss their "Kucha spices." Maybe they should have brought some with them. Just a thought. Alicia tells us the two of them felt "really strange" walking away from camp alone, and that their bond will eventually change the game because "it's a big open book and we gotta write the rest of the pages that go in it." I hope they write all about my sweet Rodger. As Alicia says this, we see shots of Elisabeth and Alicia holding hands and singing, "Wanna Be" by the Spice Girls. Okay, so there's no singing, but there's some major girl power going on here. Alicia would make a great Sassy Spice.

The benefits of fitness for cognitive performance in healthy older adults have repeatedly been demonstrated. Animal studies, however, have revealed differential relationships between physical and motor fitness and brain metabolism. We therefore investigated whether for older humans different dimensions of fitness are differentially associated with cognitive performance and brain activation patterns. Seventy-two participants (mean age 68.99 years, SD = 3.66; 52 females) completed four psychometric tests reflecting two primary abilities of higher cognitive functioning (executive control, perceptual speed) and a battery of fitness tests comprising two fitness dimensions (physical and motor fitness). We found that not only physical fitness indexed by cardiovascular fitness and muscular strength, but also motor fitness including movement speed, balance, motor coordination and flexibility showed a strong association with cognitive functioning. Additionally, functional brain imaging data revealed that physical and motor fitness were differentially related to cognitive processes. Results are discussed with regard to the compensation hypothesis and potential consequences for intervention work.
