Comments about InvitationsByDawn for Eternal Promise - Invitation:
Product Comments: We are receiving many positive comments on the beauty if our invitations. The choice of verses and ease of customization made these our own. Nice quality paper.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Was this review helpful?
By Kianafrom Albuquerque, NM
Product Comments: The invitations and save-the-dates were perfect. The invitations are simple and elegant, and the paper quality is great. It would have been nice if I could have added a little more emphasis or color to the design.
Service Comments: Delivery was prompt and in good time. I was not happy that several of the envelopes for the invitations were in extremely poor condition. A few were ripped (enough that I will not be able to use them to mail the invitations out), and several were bent. I do not appreciate the quality they arrived in.

About Me Parent of Bride/Groom
Product Comments: Very pleased with these invitations. They are classic elegance at a reasonable price! My daughter is incorporating a celtic theme in her wedding and these are perfect. The only thing I would do differently is increase the font size of the numbers as they are smaller than the letters. The customer service department was very helpful, the order arrived earlier than expected, and the quality is excellent. Thank you for offering a product that will be cherished for many years to come!
By Brittany (soon-to-be) Roodfrom Webster, MA
Product Comments: Ordered these invitations for my Celtic themed wedding. I absolutely love the look of these! There are so elegant and the lettering looked lovely. The only thing I saw wrong with this was the color. I ordered the Hunter Green lettering, and when I received the invitation, the letters looked more black than green.Still satisfied regardless!
By Irish Grilfrom Ann Arbor, MI
Product Comments: Loved that we could change the text and font
By MWHfrom Treasure Island Florida
Product Comments: Even better than I expected.
By "The Irish"from Illinois
Product Comments: I am getting married and searched for what seemed like an eternity for just the right invitation to reflect our Irish heritage. ALL and I mean ALLL of the other Claddagh invitations were, in my opinion, ugly. I think the design is perfect and proportional which seems easy but let me tell you it is not!
I brought the invitation to an Irish store near my house and they said they had never seen this one and wished they could carry it in their stores. I think the one they sell is not very pretty. I love the cream/ivory color paper and we did the text in black. It looks outstanding.
I only wish there were more items to go with the set. I really do not have a theme per say but it would be nice to have the matching place cards and table number cards. We had to improvise and use the reception card as a place card. It will be a little larger than usual but we just did not like anything else.
We also made our own stationary for the wedding thank you cards and I cannot wait to use them.
This is truly a beautiful design and I hope it stays around forever for all the other ladies out there.
By C. Gallagherfrom Philadelphia, PA
Product Comments: I had given the incorrect address on my reply envelopes - ordered replacements & had them when the customer service rep said I would. I have never dealt with a more accommodating customer service department. Your company should be proud to have such good employees.
By McWoodworthfrom Omaha, NE
Product Comments: They are exactly what we wanted and recieved them in a very timely manner. Very happy with our order
By McSwimfrom Pittsburgh, PA
Product Comments: I was hesitant to order our wedding invitations on-line, but when we received them I was pleasantly surprised. Feedback from our guests, regarding our wedding invitations, has been over-the-top-positive. Also, no extra postage was required to send the invitations, which we were very happy about.

Policewoman punched in face at Cumbria funeral tea
Last updated at 11:31, Thursday, 15 March 2012
A policewoman was punched in the face and body at a wake and another woman was knocked unconscious.
The PC was attacked after being called to a disturbance at the funeral party at a house in Greystone Place, Cleator Moor, at 6pm last night.
She was punched in the head and body by a man and a woman shortly after arriving at the scene following reports of a disturbance.
Police said today that a 58-year-old woman had been knocked unconscious nearby.
The PC was accompanied to the scene by a number of officers.
While she did not suffer serious injuries, the 58-year-old was taken by ambulance to the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven for treatment.
She was released later last night.
A 33-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of police assault and assault with intent to prevent arrest.
They remain in police custody this morning.
Copeland Sergeant Laura Robinson said the policewoman suffered a few bruises and was recovering after her ordeal.

I would argue that you, as a highly visible member of this Kingdom, have the same problem. People can't tell when you're being Burke, instead of the Deputy Kingdom Seneschal.

Where can I find real dolmas in the East Bay
Hi fellow chowhounds.
I have been looking for real dolmas lately in the East Bay and can't find any. Even at great places like The Pasta Shop and Troy Greek Cusine they don't make their own. Where does one find real dolmas made on site? Thanks!
I enjoyed the one I tried at Zaki Kabob House last week. The falafel patties were great, too.
Does Zand make their own?
re: eethan
Oasis market on Telegraph in Oakland makes their own.
re: drewskiSF
When I was a tyke back east, my family used to frequent an "arabic" (their own description, I think it was Lebanese) restaurant in Lowell, Mass. called Bishop's. We thought the idea of stuffed grape leaves was very exotic,but they were better than anything I've had since. They were larger than most, freshly made and served warm. Best of all, they had meat in them. Little bits of chopped lamb accompanied some sort of very large grain,probably converted ,rice. They came on a platter of assorted vegetables stuffed with a similar filling. Anybody seen anything similar in the golden west?
re: little big al
Troya on Clement St in SF has lamb dolmas that I like. They don't have the other stuffed veggies on the plate that you remember.
A *elp search shows Jannah on Fulton also has lamb dolmas with other veggies stuffed with the same mix like what you describe. I can't vouch for these, though.
poorly lit photo
I believe The Mediterranean in Concord makes their own; they certainly are good. The same owner also has Babalou's in Walnut Creek.
By the way, what are "real" dolmas? Why should "real" imply "made on site"? I checked with Billy today, and was told that he buys his vegetarian dolmas because making them is too time-consuming, but that he sometimes makes his own with meat. He makes everything else
Thanks everyone for giving me suggestions on where to find real dolmas! I am going to try some of those places. GH1618, I prefer made on site because I can then ask how much salt they use, etc. Also, my experience is that the quality is usually better when something is made on site than when it's from someplace else.
"Dolma" is a Farsi word that just means a stuffed vegetable. Wouldn't that be a "real dolma".??

The Oakland Raiders are interested in bringing in a veteran quarterback to help mentor their youngsters, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
With two young quarterbacks in Matt Flynn and Terrelle Pryor expected to compete for the starting job, adding an experienced guy to show them the ropes may be to their benefit.
This may explain their interest in Seneca Wallace, the former Browns and Seahawks quarterback who is slated to visit the Raiders.
Drafted in 2005 by the Seahawks, Wallace backed up Matt Hasselbeck in Seattle. He was a starter for a portion of 2008, when he threw for 1,532 yards and 11 touchdowns in 10 games.
Wallace was traded to the Browns in 2010, where he was trumped by injuries for two seasons before being released after the 2012 preseason.

▶ Theories on Yakone and Amon
So, Yakone was a man who threatened Republic City forty-two years before Korra's arrival. When Amon knocked Korra out, we saw the following flashes of an older
Mystery Guy
✰ I'm assuming that the mystery guy is Yakone.
✰ I'm also assuming that Aang used Energybending or possibly killed him because Yakone murdered Sokka and Toph (or at least threatened to harm them, triggering Aang's Avatar State).
✰ Amon is Yakone's son (the Firebender who burned him could have been Zuko) OR
✰ Amon is some reincarnation of Yakone sent back from the Spirit World by someone like Koh (the only real evil spirit we know about) OR
✰ Amon is Yakone, granted that Yakone is an extremely powerful Bloodbender and Healer who is able to slow down, halt, or reverse the ageing process.
✰ Yakone is the one who hurt Amon's family (although I think Yakone is a Waterbender, not a Firebender).
✰ Amon is Bumi, Aang and Katara's middle, non-bending son. Let's see, Amon means "hidden one" in Egyptian, and was also known as the god of air in ancient Egyptian mythology. Is Bumi angry that he's the only non-bender?
✰ Whatever the case, it would explain Amon's hatred of bending and his hatred towards Korra, the Avatar.
✰ Amon does not Energybend but rather blocks a bender's chi or the chakras that enable him to bend, making it seem permanent since few - especially in the modern Avatar world - have the spirituality to unlock their inner chakras.
✰ Mindfuck Theory*: Amon is Aang, or some variation of him. Remember, "to bend another's energy, your own spirit must be unbendable or you will be corrupted and destroyed". What if Aang, in a fit of anger, used Energybending on Yakone and it corrupted his soul. So when he died his was "trapped" in the Spirit World and used Amon as a vessel.
1. How did Amon learn Energybending or is it really just a sort of chi or chakra blocking?
2. If Amon can Energybend, how can he, keeping in mind the words of the lion turtle ("to bend another's energy, your own spirit must be unbendable or you will be corrupted and destroyed")?
3. Could Amon really be Tarrlok à la Star Wars? (i.e. Tarrlok is to Chancellor Palpatine as Amon is to the Emperor)
*I should note that my mindfuck theory isn't ever likely to pan out, but think of the story possibilities. Korra would be affected by it too since she is Aang. Bwa ha ha.
In other words, I understand the concept of reincarnation so I don't need a lecture on how Amon couldn't be Aang because Aang is Korra. There's a reason why I called it 'mindfuck' theory.
Thoughts? Theories?

Most of it seems valid..but Amon can't be Aang, in any variation. In essence, Korra is Aang.

Drug Control:
U.S. Counternarcotics Efforts in Colombia Face Continuing Challenges
NSIAD-98-60: Published: Feb 12, 1998. Publicly Released: Feb 25, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4128
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the status of drug control efforts in Colombia and the impact of the 1996 and 1997 U.S. decisions to decertify Colombia as a drug-fighting ally, focusing on: (1) the nature of the drug-trafficking threat from Colombia; (2) the political, economic, and operational implications of the decertification decisions; and (3) U.S. efforts to plan and manage counternarcotics activities in Colombia.
GAO noted that: (1) the narcotics threat from Colombia remains and may be growing, and U.S. efforts in Colombia continue to face major challenges; (2) the United States has had limited success in persuading the Colombian government to take aggressive actions to address corruption within the government, which limits its ability to arrest and convict traffickers; (3) for its part, the United States has had difficulty implementing a well-planned and coordinated strategy to assist Colombian authorities; (4) according to recent Department of State and Drug Enforcement Administration reports, the cultivation of coca leaf in Colombia increased by 50 percent between 1994 and 1996, and the prevalence of Colombian heroin on the streets of the United States has steadily increased; (5) since the initial decertification decision in March 1996, Colombia has taken several actions to address U.S. concerns; (6) at the initial decertification decision in March 1996, State was not prepared to determine whether some programmed assistance intended for the Colombian police and military could continue to be provided; (7) it took State, in conjunction with other executive branch agencies, about 8 months to decide what could be provided; (8) as a consequence, about $35 million in programmed counternarcotics assistance was cancelled or delayed; (9) however, the overall operational implications of the cutoff on U.S. and Colombian counternarcotics program is unclear; (10) the U.S. counternarcotics effort in Colombia has continued to experience management challenges; (11) State did not take adequate steps to ensure that equipment included in a 1996 $40 million assistance package from the Department of Defense inventories could be integrated into the U.S. Embassy's plans and strategies to support the Colombian police and military counternarcotics forces; (12) as a result, the assistance package contained items that had limited immediate usefulness to the Colombian police and military and will require substantial additional funding to become operational; and (13) moreover, the military assistance was also delayed for 10 months because State and the Embassy could not reach agreement with the government of Colombia over acceptable end-use provisions to ensure that the assistance was not being provided to units suspected of human rights violations.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In concurring with the GAO recommendation, the Department of State said that it is working to improve staff and interagency coordination to form assistance packages that provide aid that most appropriately fits Colombia's needs. In communications with the U.S. Embassy in Colombia, State has emphasized the importance of setting priorities on prospective requests for assistance and has proactively anticipated maintenance and training equipment to ensure the optimal use of the assistance.
Recommendation: The Secretary of State, in close consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the National Security Council, should take steps to ensure that future assistance authorized under section 506(a)(2) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is, to the maximum extent possible, compatible with the priority requirements identified in U.S. counternarcotics programs and that adequate support resources are available to maximize the benefits of the assistance.

20 November 2011 | 209 notes
Played the Normandy Crash Site mission in Mass Effect 2 today. Although small in scale and minor in comparison to other missions/environments in ME2, I thought Bioware created a beautiful and hauntingly atmospheric landscape that honestly made my skin crawl. Some elements seemed unnecessarily cheap (i.e. recycling music from a previous main mission, stills as flashbacks instead of video), but the environment and wreckage was well produced and detailed. I spent a long time wandering around just taking it in.

In the wake of political influence that forced Citibank on Tuesday to ditch plans to take delivery this year of a $42 million Dassault Falcon 7X it ordered in 2005, NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen penned a letter to President Obama defending companies' use of business jets.
AINalerts » January 29, 2009
Textron, parent company of Cessna Aircraft and Bell Helicopter, released its fourth-quarter and full-year financial results this morning amid continued concerns of a weakening economy. In a conference call with reporters, chairman and CEO Lewis Campbell underscored the seriousness of the situation.
Bucking the current economic tide, Gulfstream Aerospace and Jet Aviation parent company General Dynamics yesterday posted strong revenues and profits for 2008, thanks in no small part to its aerospace division. Overall the company posted $29.3 billion in revenues and $2.48 billion in profits last year, up from $27.2 billion and $2.1 billion in the respective previous periods.
An agreement for German investors to take over the trainer aircraft activities of the insolvent Grob Aerospace group might have cleared the way for a separate deal to resurrect Grob's SPn light business jet program. Grob's insolvency administrator, Dr.
Citing the state of the economy, NBAA yesterday announced the cancellation of the inaugural Light Business Airplane Conference (LBA2009) scheduled to be held in San Diego in March. The move comes just one month after NBAA "recalibrated" the show from a three-day schedule to two–March 13 and 14.
Russian investment firm Industrial Investors today announced it is seeking to sell all or a portion of AAI Acquisition, the company formed to buy the assets of bankrupt very light jet developer Adam Aircraft Industries last April.

Why do people up on their own bid? More than once?
I can only think of a couple of reasons.
- They don't understand how eBay's bidding works. They want the price to go up as soon as they enter a higher bid. When they don't see it go up, they think something went wrong and enter an even higher bid.
- They keep changing their minds and enter higher bids in a misguided attempt to ensure they win.
I've been watching people bid on iPhones for a couple of weeks now. The vast majority of people submit a bid that is the minimum step up from the current bid. If the previous bidder had used the system correctly and submitted their maximum bid, this incremental bidder would go one step at a time every 10-15 seconds (and being instantly outbid) until they were at the top of the heap. It's like they just want to see their name as the high bidder for a while.
Of course, all that fine curation of the highest bid goes out the window in the last 30 seconds of an auction, when the big guns roll into town.
Why does anyone bid before the last minute?
I guess they don't think about the mechanism of how the bidding works. Also, it's in eBay's best interest for people to bid throughout the length of the auction. That way, the final price is pumped up and their cut of the sale is higher. So there are little encouragements throughout the site to get people to bid early, bid often.
For example, there is a blue bar across the top of that auction that says "It is ending soon, so bid now before you miss out!" I also get emails about items in my watch list "ending soon!" which are actually over in six hours or more.
I have an AT&T 4S I will happily sell you for way less than that.
Thanks for the offer! That would be awesome, but I'm looking for a Sprint phone to use on Ting.

California ag drought topic of March 4 meeting
The California State Board of Food and Agriculture will focus on drought impacts to the agricultural sector at its upcoming meeting on March 4, 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m., at the University of California in Merced, Calif.
The Governor's Drought Task Force leaders are traveling throughout the state to meet with local officials to hear how communities are coping with drought impacts. The Board meeting at UC Merced provides an opportunity for the Drought Task Force to update the public and agricultural stakeholders on current actions, including the Emergency Drought Legislation announced on Feb. 19. This meeting will be streamed online at: http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/LiveMediaStream.html
Texas crop prospects not looking good
Dry topsoil and low subsoil moisture, along with cooler than normal soil temperatures, are having a chilling effect on spring planting in Texas, said Dr. Travis Miller, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service agronomist and Texas A&M University soil and crop sciences associate department head, College Station.
Most of Texas is going into the fourth year of drought, Miller noted.
Drought ratings edged slightly higher, with 58% of the state ranging from moderate to exceptional drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor and reports from AgriLife Extension personnel.
Only a few weeks ago in some areas, such as Southeast Texas, fields were too wet to get in to work. But after a couple of dry weeks, a dry or crusty soil surface can still make planting into moisture a challenge.
But for those areas with subsoil moisture, it's the cooler than normal soil temperatures that pose some concern about late plantings, Miller said.
"Farmers are very hesitant to put very expensive seed in cold soils," he said.
While the Texas High Plains remain the worst hit, dairy areas of the Panhandle, South Plains and Rolling Plains remain very dry, Miller said.
More information on the current Texas drought and wildfire alerts can be found on the AgriLife Extension Agricultural Drought Task Force website at http://agrilife.tamu.edu/drought/ .

Simmonds scored in the first period and twice more in the second for his first career postseason hat trick. Mason survived a busy first period and stopping 31 straight shots until Carl Hagelin scored late in the third. Mats Zuccarello also scored for New York in the final minute.
By the third, Simmonds had already helped stake the Flyers to a 4-0 lead and the outcome was a mere formality. Erik Gustafsson also scored and Claude Giroux had an empty-netter for the Flyers, who will try for a second win in New York this series.
Simmonds, a 28-goal scorer who had one in the first five games, completed the hat trick with 4:41 left in the second. With a short turnaround, Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist was yanked for Cam Talbot to open the third period.
Lundqvist stopped 19 of 23 shots. He couldn't stop Simmonds.
Simmonds camped out in the dirty area, in front of the crease, and pounded home three short goals that had Flyers fans going wild. On the brink of elimination, about the only thing that could slow down the Flyers were their fans — the game was delayed for a lengthy cleanup after they littered the ice with hats. Someone even threw a shoe.
New York is 13-2 in series it has led 3-2, but the Rangers have lost 12 straight games in which they had a series lead.

iTunes 10.6, as we mentioned earlier, adds the ability to play 1080p HD movies and TV shows from the iTunes Store.
According to Apple, the new version of GarageBand, 6.0.5, "...supports general compatibility and addresses overall stability and performance, including the following:
- Updates compatibility with GarageBand for iOS projects
- Fixes a playback issue with the GarageBand Lesson preview videos
- Corrects issues with some software instruments triggering incorrect or stuck notes"
Finally, Xcode 4.3.1 "...is now distributed as an application," Apple says, "rather than as an installer. This change enables Xcode to be updated directly from the Mac App Store."

MONDAY, March 21 (HealthDay News) -- Women should have an annual
ob-gyn exam whether they need a Pap test or not, says the American
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
ACOG released its updated recommendations for women's annual
routine ob-gyn screenings, tests and immunizations on March 21.
Recommended health assessments are grouped by age range,
starting with girls aged 13, and takes into consideration that some
women may have the need for additional screenings or counseling due
to individual risk factors.
Across all age groups, standard components of the annual ob-gyn
exam include assessing current health status, nutrition, physical
activity, sexual behaviors, substance use (tobacco, drugs and
alcohol), height, weight, body mass index and blood pressure.
Women aged 19 and up should have an annual breast and abdominal
exam, and starting at age 21, a routine annual pelvic exam should
be performed, according to an ACOG news release.
"Since the age a woman receives her first Pap test changed two years ago to age 21, and most women can have them less frequently than previously recommended, there's this misconception that if you don't need a Pap then you can skip the ob-gyn visit altogether," Dr. Hal C. Lawrence, III, vice president for practice activities at ACOG, said in the news release.
"Nearly every woman age 21 and older needs an annual well-woman visit with her ob-gyn, regardless of whether cervical cancer screening is done. The Pap test is just one part of staying healthy," he noted.
The updated schedule also outlines recommended vaccinations by
age and risk group, states that all sexually active adolescents and
women up to age 25 should undergo annual testing for chlamydia and
gonorrhea, and recommends routine HIV testing for all sexually
active adolescents and women aged 19 to 64.
The updated recommendations are published in the April issue of
Obstetrics & Gynecology.
"The purpose of the annual ob-gyn visit is to detect and treat any new or ongoing health problems as well as to help prevent future ones from developing," Lawrence said.

Insurgent Personalization PackBy Victor Zuylen on 26-Mar-2014 18:34:31
Reinforcements are underway! The Insurgent Pack drops next week, and in addition to the brand-new Insurgent class it will give you even more choice in the way you look, sound and play.
Aside from new class, abilities, weapons, collectibles, challenges and trophies described in our announcement post, the Insurgent Pack also comes with a Personalization Pack that consists of three new Spotlight Moves, an Insurgent Voice Pack and a new skin for your automata!
The three Spotlight Moves included with the Insurgent Personalization Pack are the Head Kick, the Finger Breaker and the C4. The first two are self-explanatory and look exactly as painful as they sound, but the C4 Spotlight Move requires a demonstration. Check it out in the video:
The Insurgent Voice Pack contains new multiplayer battle chatter voices for both Helghast and VSA factions. They were designed to match the Insurgent character's devious personality and style of play, but they'll work just as well with other classes. Check out the samples below:
Finally, the Insurgent Personalization Pack contains a brand-new OWL skin for your Helghast and VSA combat automata. The design is inspired by the paint scheme of the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber, giving your automata a rather sleek and stealthy appearance.
The Insurgent Pack will become available with next week's PlayStation Store update for $9.99/€9,99. You can also get it for free with the Season Pass, which gives you the best value for all essential Killzone Shadow Fall multiplayer DLC.

Used to be really into weight lifting and sports in highschool and I need a summer hobby so I'm thinking about starting a fitness blog to keep track of my experiences with it , would anyone be interested in following it ??
I think it's a good idea :-)
(Source: thatgunnerwayneguy)
The Bulky Bear Sez: "Don't Forget Leg Day, Kids!"
Arms, chests, shoulders, necks, backs, bellies and butts—these are often the focus of our non-genital physical attractions in this, the cult of the masculine macromarkers that we've made and called a "bear community." Along with beards, pelts and fur of various degree, color and pattern, we sweat, breathe hard and spring boners for the arms we want wrapped around us, the chests we want pressed against us, the shoulders we want to grab, the necks we want to nip and nuzzle, and the backs, bellies and butts that most of us want to straddle after one fashion or another. Oh, and hot junk, too, of course.
But I'm telling ya fellas, before you go out to the gym or break out the weight bench in your garage to forge these coveted manly manifestations of muscle for your very own—for the appropriate grabbing, wrapping, pressing, straddling, etc—please, DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR LEGS. All of the rest has to be supported by those lower limbs, and you're almost always better off working ALL of your muscles—both health-wise and in terms of aesthetic proportion. And speaking of limbs, if you sprout big bulk on top, you'd better hope they're trunks and not twigs because NOTHING has that special kind of bizarre look that you find when guys fixate on those upper-body sex-appeal areas don't train their whole bodies. See the latter pictures…
Now, before you start giving yourself a complex over it, all manner of fitness training should be undertaken with realistic goals in mind that reflect your current and future physical limitations. That goes not just for developing strength, tone, stamina and general health, but also the personal body image that you may be crafting or changing right along with it. Not all of us got dealt the Arnold genes. Hell, not all of us got dealt skinny Ed Norton's muscle genes. For some of us, no matter how hard we work, we'll never be as bulky, lean, tall, thick, strong, furry, svelte, bearded, ripped or George-Clooney-pretty as we maybe wish we were. BUT almost every single one of us can be better tomorrow or next week or next month than we are today. It's all about being willing to accept our limitations without despairing over them and being willing to take the genetic hands that we DID get dealt and put in the effort necessary to make the most of them.
So, GO FORTH—ye who stir and are motivated by the onset of the vernal months, ye for whom the promise of swimsuit weather and more nekkidness approaches, ye who long to craft anew your image and unlock your body's potential for fitness and primal, masculine sex appeal! Get thee to a gym! Run in the park! Sweat to the oldies in your living room! Take a yoga class! Gather ye dumbbells while ye may—but for the love of GAWD, don't skip leg day!!

Thanks ;-)
Down to 184.7 :-)
I completely revamped my work out and have made pretty solid gains since I started this whole mess.
Squats - Start: 195 Current: 275
Bench - Start: 135 Current: 235
I have consistently stuck with slow carb. Biggest change - I have thrown in high intensity as a final set for all lifting. In short, I lower the weight and do extremely slow reps - go until failure.
Fuck sit-ups btw - best thing for your stomach - squats.
I've officially been on the slow carb diet for 6 months and hoping it has become a habit. I love my cheat days (once a week) and find that I appreciate bad shit so much more… lol.

Golgotha seemed no risk to view,
As the Place of the Skull beckoned anew.
My heart hammered for I saw no escape
From the man with a shovel and tattered cape.
His shovel waved, as if to attack,
And he gave the ground a wicked whack.
He shoveled some dirt and filled a hole,
Then I recalled the story told.
After the Crucifixion, like one possessed,
To fill every hole was this man's quest.
He said, "I caused His death, to my shame.
The hole for the cross was my blame!"
I replied, "Sir, he died for you and me,
To fill holes in our lives, don't you see?"
As he stood weeping, his mind in shock,
I said, "Sir, we need to talk."

I can't believe how much different I look and that I'd be able to make it this far, it's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it. It hasn't been easy but I never want to give up. So proud of myself for the changes, I used to hate my body so much and I'm finally becoming comfortable with myself.

Everybody matters.
Life is a beautiful thing, everything has a beginning, everything has an end. But what we have to cherish is everything in between, because that's everything that matters. We affect so many people's lives and take so much for granted, but everybody lives for the importance of love, and that's why it's painful when people leave. But we need to remember everything that happened before the end and not focus on the final results. People leave, and people die. Whoever they have touched, whoever they were of importance to, they were loved. They've made a great impact on the lives of others, and that's what matters. Remember the middle; all the good. That's when the bad things won't be of importance, because they shouldn't. We live and we learn, and we learn from all those who have been a part of life, no matter if they have done good or done bad, we learn. So when ever you feel worthless just remember, Everybody matters.

Access "No rush to deploy iSCSI"
This article is part of the Vol. 7 No. 7 September 2008 issue of Using two midrange backup apps at once
In the past year or so, iSCSI adoption hasn't budged, at least not according to a recent Storage survey. We last asked storage users about iSCSI adoption in July 2007, and the percentage of respondents using iSCSI is still 44%. And while users have had more time to kick iSCSI's tires as the technology has become more widespread, the percentage of those choosing not to deploy iSCSI has jumped from 9% in 2007 to 28%. Twenty-eight percent researched iSCSI last year when the protocol was newer, but only 12% are currently researching it. Respondents who use iSCSI still like its bargain prices, with 73% citing cost as their top reason for using the technology vs. 80% of those surveyed last year. And respondents haven't found a more favored way to deploy iSCSI, with 67% now running an iSCSI SAN over a dedicated Ethernet network vs. 64% choosing that as the top method in 2007. The number of respondents running iSCSI over an existing LAN has dropped from 53% to 41%. --Christine Cignoli Access >>>

What's Inside
Are full backups a thing of the past?
by Kevin Suttle
In the not-so-distant past, we relied on tape backups for operational recovery, disaster recovery and long-term data retention. But are full nightly backups to tape still needed now that we have new disk-based technologies like snapshots and continuous data protection?
- Our View: Whom do you trust?
- SMBs move beyond the VTL interface
Ask the Experts: RTOs and RPOs
Is there a standard ratio between RTOs and RPOs, or are they independent of each other?
- The lure of open-source backup programs
Dedupe myths and methods
Exaggerated claims, rapidly changing technology and persistent myths make navigating the deduplication landscape treacherous. We list the top five dedupe myths and provide tips to help you get a deduplication product that fits your organization's needs at a competitive price.
Small disks, big specs
Hard disk drives have been around for more than 50 years, but the technology is on the cusp of big changes--SAS, a shift to the 2.5-inch form factor and a steady increase in disk drive capacity--that will affect enterprise storage for years to come.
- Ballooning storage by the numbers
Ask the Expert: NFS vs. CIFS
What should you consider when choosing between Network File Sharing (NFS) or Common Internet File System (CIFS)?
Centralize virtualization at the switch
There are a number of ways you can virtualize your storage, but because a switch-based virtualization engine works out-of-band, there's no need for server agents, making it the most scalable and highest performing of all virtualization architectures.
- Backup apps' reporting tools become more versatile
- Backup software by the numbers
Virtual server backup tips
Virtualized servers yield many benefits, but they can also add complexity to backup operations. There are three main ways to back up a virtual server. Here's how to determine which method is best for your virtualized server environment and storage requirements.

- Our View: When good admins go bad
- Are full backups a thing of the past? by Kevin Suttle
- Storage administrators find some relief for backup headaches
- Dedupe moves beyond backup
- Midrange online backup offerings help SMBs get on the cloud
CDP in depth
Continuous data protection (CDP) technology is now a viable alternative to traditional backup software and storage system-based replication software. But CDP products can vary significantly, especially in the context of different storage architectures. Depending on specific environments, companies may have to evaluate very different criteria before settling on a CDP product.

Sansevieria: A Favorite Houseplant for Low Light
We've all got at least one room that gets very little natural light. Usually these are the rooms most in need of the lively energy that a houseplant brings, but so many plants crave the ever-elusive "bright indirect light" that it can be difficult to find appealing specimens for a dim room. Inspired by our recent purchase of the lovely Sansevieira Moonshine pictured above, we thought we'd extol the virtues of this popular plant, sometimes known as Snake Plant or Mother-in-law's Tongue...
Part of Sansevieria's popularity is due to the fact that there are so many different cultivars. Among them all, there's bound to be a color, shape, or texture to please any plant lover. Rough, narrow black spikes... wide, silvery, sword-shaped leaves... variegated yellow-and-green tubes... take your pick.
Sansevieria does just fine in low light, and requires very little water as well. Watering every couple of weeks should be fine, and even less in the winter. Evidently Sansevieria is also an excellent natural air filter.
Here's some more helpful information from Apartment Therapy on choosing the best plants for low-light conditions:

any idea if these are toxic to cats?
Garden Design featured sanses in their last issue... great pictures. I have some of the Moonshine type and some unvarigated four-foot who-knows-what-kind that I yanked from Mom's garden when they took over. They make a spectacular planting at the back of my balcony, which is mostly shady but gets blasts of full sun in the late afternoon.
I would not keep them in a dim room forever. I've managed to kill them that way. They'll show no sign of stress for months, then just suddenly keel. Put them in the sun once in a while if you can (for as much as you get in San Fran thru the fog, I wouldn't be afraid to let them have as much as they can get.)
If you can rotate two plants in and out of the dim room throughout the year (maybe give them a month for each rotation), you should have them nearly forever. Otherwise consider them a long-lasting bouquet.
they are nice plants, but they have been the plant of choice in every office I've ever worked in. Somehow this makes me really not want to have one in my home. That picture against a red wall is beautiful though.
@whytephoenix, rotating the plants in a dim room is fantastic advice. Thank you for chiming in!
- Susie
I've actually had real problems keeping this alive. I had wondered if it was getting too much sun or if I was watering it too much. It never really seems to establish strong roots. I've repotted into better soil, changed the location, but it never really thrives.
(And I keep a lot of other far trickier plants alive. My orchid is happy as a clam, so it's not just a black thumb..)
I have 3 cats and 3 of these plants. They have never tried to chew on the plants. One of my cats is an expert at eating plants too, he ate a 10 inch bay tree
Looks like mother-in-law's tongue is on the CFA's toxic to cats list. Darn.
My goodness! Is there a plant that ISN'T on this list? Personally, this has long been a favorite plant of mine - just can't seem to kill 'em. And I've always had cats, indoor and otherwise.
Right now I have a tremendous snake plant beside my front door. A friend commented "that's bad feng shui!" (she explained this has to do with the pointy shape of the leaf) Well I say if I've managed to not kill it, that's good enough feng shui for me!
You should water them when they are dry -- but don't wait too long. Ambient temperature and humidity greatly affect how quickly they dry out. There is no substitute for looking at and touching the soil. It's true they store some reserve water and so can survive dryness for a while, but no plant can be stressed to the brink of over and over without being weakened. They will respond to good care by actively growing, not just surviving.
The other thing is to be sure not to plant them too deep. If the crown is submerged by soil the plant will surely rot (and quickly, too). I lost a few this way before figuring this out.
I managed to kill one of these--but I'll tell ya--it took some effort. I neglected it horribly, and it held on for the longest time. Very hardy. But I am a plant murderess.
BlackFrancine, when I go to look at plants my husband calls it "looking for my next victim." Though, I haven't managed to kill one of these yet, but they also never seem to grow.
How much do I love this post? A lot.
*gazes around low-light apartment with renewed hope*
I just helped my mom repot one like the first photo (a short one). She got it from a coworker two or three years ago, and in that time it had grown to completely fill the pot, enough that we thought it would crack the terra cotta. We ended up getting six repotted plants from it, and still threw some away. She had it in a sunny south window, and it was apparently very happy there.
yes, these actually *will* crack through pots. I would recommend keeing them in their nursery pot within the decorative pot of your choice, not directly planting it.
their most likely killer is overwatering. and remember, low light doesn't mean no light-- they do need a little sunshine now and then (though I have seen some survive in offices with the tiniest amount of light for years).
if you really want a fun variety, check out sansevieria cylindrica!
I have one of these in a bright pot at the end of a dark hallway, and it really brightens things up. I also have a cat who doesn't bother trying to eat it ... maybe because it's in such an out-of-the-way location?
I don't associate these with office buildings (probably because I've always worked in small businesses). But I totally associate them with chain bar-and-grills. Like next time you go to Chile's or On the Border, take a gander, and I bet you'll see tons of snake plants!
Another low-light, hardy, air-detoxifying plant good for low-light, low-humidity areas the dracaena. I just got a variegated variety that's surprisingly pretty.
Sansieveria are often touted as a low-light plant, but only because they will remain alive in low light. They won't grow much (or at all) without sunlight. This is a drag if you like to watch your plants grow, but great if you have a specimen that is the perfect size and shape for its place in your home.
Put these plants in bright light, water frequently in the summer, not as much in the winter and they will grow so much they will crack the ceramic/terracotta pots that are too small for them.
For some of us, it's less "that one room without natural light" and instead only have one room with any good light at all. I might just decorate my whole house with these, ha.
