If you stay in a calorie deficit it should go away with time. Good luck!

Everyone loses weight in different orders - eventually, your body will have nowhere left to burn fat but on your gut. I lose from my face and gut first, then my arms and legs, but I know lots of people who are the other way around.

you cannot spot loose body fat.from a specific area . Your belly fat will probably be the last to go . so keep loosing weight and eventually it will come off your abdomen.

It is not what foods you should be eating. Your body is going to take fat from where it chooses; sadly, we don't get to choose. Usually your body takes fat from all over your body.
Hang in there and keep working at it. Don't just focus on calories because you should watch sugars, fats, and carbs so you don't go over. I just added fats to my Excel spreadsheet today because I expected to lose over 2 lbs and lost only 8 tenths of a lb this week. The calorie deficit of 7900+ meant I should have lost more. This has happened to me before. I go back and look through what the nutrient breakout was that week. Too many sugars, carbs, and fats will blow up the plan. The only good thing this week was that of the 8 tenths of a lb lost was that 7 of the tenths was body fat according to my body fat monitor from Omron, which looks like the one at the gym.
I lift weights and have lost 3 inches off my chest since November even though I do the bench press. Those inches are fat that is gone. More importantly after joining MFP in March 2012, I have lost 5 and 3/8 inches of belly fat. I'm like almost everyone, I want to lose more belly fat. For the past month my waist measurement did not change, but I cut back on fat intake this week and boy did it change.
Again hang in there because there will be the frustrating times when the efforts appear not to be working. After plateauing for the last month and gaining some weight even though I should have lost each week, my body may now have adjusted and is letting me lose weight again. Just keep at it, eat enough so you don't slow down your metabolism, do some cardio and strength training. This is a long haul life change not a diet. Today, I had 7 servings of low fat low cal ice cream for lunch and stayed well under my fat grams on MFP because I spent 3 hours walking in the pool and 40 minutes walking outside the pool. Yesterday and today I burned more calories in exercise than I ate, but I still ate close to my basic caloric need based on my weight. Be prepared to change things up from time to time; don't do the same exercise either cardio or strength training forever because your body adapts to it and will use fewer calories.
Good luck to you! I'm doing it as a picky eater, so if you don't give up, you can do it!!

your doing so well - and especially looking at your diary, your putting some of us (like me) to shame.
less carbs, more protein and dont go too low under your calorie requirements because your going to slow down your metabolism so when you do relax your diet, the weight will creep back on.
the other principle which seems to help is eating a 'clean diet' which means slowly cutting out processed food. so if you try to get as close to possible as eating a 'natural' as possible diet which has gone through very little processing or cooking then it will help with your nutritional intake and stop your body from holding on to the fat stores around your belly and other places.

Track your sugar consumption and try to stay under what MFP has set for your goals. A diet like The South Beach Diet is great at eliminating belly fat first.

There are no specific food that help specific areas. Just keep on eating in deficit, getting exercise and reducing overall fat. That may be your stubborn area. We all have one. Mine is over my hips.

Cook Time:

I made this one up on my own after I learned how to cook well enough. All kinds of beans can be used, black beans do very well as do pinto beans, but regular red or dark red kidney beans are my favorite with this particular soup. You can also substitute pumpkin puree for squash puree! I think the green onion goes perfect with the mix but a small can of green chiles works well too. This is a great soup to have in the fall. Yields about 4 medium-sized servings.

... do you know where your lawyers are?
Some people reading my posts may incorrectly assume that my politics are liberal or left. For the record, if a well-designed scientific study finds that policy x is better than policy y and no policy for people, then I'm all for it... as long as we don't then assume that we cannot improve on policy x or find a better policy.
And, if you keep up with general science, you may have noticed that over and over we are surprised that complex systems do not have linear relationships to input. People are also complex systems. i.e. the misguided idea that cutting welfare makes people work harder and succeed. Sorry, people are not that simple; you must provide them with tools, both intellectual and emotional. Those who have succeeded were already in possession of the emotional tools to overcome. If you want to elimate welfare: improve education. (Ok, it's not really that simple, but it's a good start.)
A lot of this is basic social science/psychology. Please read up on it. It's not exact, but provides a general guideline on which you can make an informed decision.

Peter Chiarelli says Bruins have qualified Brad Marchand
|06.24.11 at 7:21 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli told reporters in Minnesota Friday that the team has qualified restricted free agent Brad Marchand, meaning the team has retained negotiating rights with the 23-year-old and can match any offer sheet that another club may sign him to.
Should Marchand sign an offer sheet with another team, the Bruins will have seven days to either keep Marchand under those terms or see him walk. The Bruins would receive draft pick compensation if they were to lose Marchand, but given his importance to the club and how much cap space the B's have, the chances of him not returning are extremely slim.
As a rookie Marchand scored 21 goals and 20 assists for 40 points in the regular season. He scored 11 goals in the playoffs, including two in the Bruins' Game 7 win over the Canucks in the Stanley Cup finals.

Predatory or Sunshine Trading? Evidence from Crude Oil ETF Rolls

We study prices, liquidity, and individual account trading activity around large and predictable ETF "roll" trades in crude oil futures markets. We find narrower bid-ask spreads, greater order book depth, and more trading accounts providing liquidity on roll dates. We estimate that the largest ETF tracking crude oil prices effectively pays round-trip trading costs that average 25 basis points. Overall, the evidence indicates that traders effectively provide liquidity rather than follow predatory strategies in this "resilient" market, as implied by sunshine trading theories and by our modified theory of strategic trading around a predictable liquidation.

Alex de Campi on 'Ashes,' Comics Publishing and Selling Film Rights on Kickstarter [Interview]
Written by Alex de Campi and illustrated by Igor Kordey, Smoke was a critical favorite when it was originally released by IDW Publishing in 2005, earning an Eisner nomination for Best Limited Series. Six years later, de Campi is back with artist Jimmy Broxton to complete the slightly dystopian, deeply cynical and darkly comical poli-spy saga in Ashes, a 250-page graphic novel whose completion depends on funds raised with the Kickstarter platform. With over $6,000 of its $27,000 goal raised in just under a week and endorsements from such popular comics creators as Mark Waid, Dave Gibbons, Colleen Doran, Kieron Gillen, John Cassaday and Howard Chaykin, Ashes is a project that demands some attention. The fundraising campaign is particularly notable for making the North American paperback rights, the European paperback rights, and the film rights available as rewards for substantial pledges.
CA: We hear a lot about the critical nature of media rights in comic books these days, when publishers will take a substantial piece — often 50% — of a creator's rights as incentive for printing an original comic book property, like an Ashes. What's your take on this practice?
ADC: The practice of grabbing half the rights of a book in exchange for getting it printed is appalling, and it's a reflection on the overall insularity of the comics world that it's considered okay. You see people like Bryan O'Malley taking their next books out to the traditional publishing industry… why is that? Well as soon as people get successful, they get a literary agent, and the literary agent looks at the deal the comic publisher is trying to pawn off on them and goes, "Holy sh*t, that's a terrible deal, what is this monkey industry?", then gets them to a traditional publisher whose deals are much fairer to the creator, or moves to Image or similar. Look who is publishing the new work of veterans like Alan Moore and Paul Pope. Ask yourself why it's not their old publishers. Alan Moore knows the score, kids.
My attitude is that the secondary rights to my works are very valuable. I am happy to share them, but the publisher must then front up a significant advance to share in the risk of the book and make its creation easier. It's like they have to pay me the option value of the rights. If they want them for free, I just don't have the feeling they're going to take care of them. We're killing ourselves to get these books made. Ashes was two years of my life, and it'll be nigh on a year of Jimmy's. So I give away half the rights to someone for calling the printers on my behalf? And they give me… no money? In what Bizarro world is this a good idea? So, yeah, Jimmy's calling the printers.
And publishers who snatch those rights are not statistically more likely to get your book optioned, that's the shame. Part of the problem is that a publisher who is grabby about film rights is also likely to be grabby about the option deal, wanting points or production credit or some other deal-killing nonsense. Whereas Image books get optioned all the time. Some you hear about (Ben McCool's MEMOIR, just this past week); some you don't. I believe creators have as good, if not better, chance of getting their books optioned (if that's what you care about) by going to Image than by going to the Grabby McGrabbersons of the comics world.
CA: You mentioned "the traditional publishing industry." How do things work there, just to get a frame of reference?
ADC: The comics business is radically different in the way it works from prose publishing, from creator treatment down to retailer treatment. In all cases in the comics business, folks are still treated worse. Traditional publishing, almost always there is at least a small advance, and little to no attempt to land-grab rights. Traditional publishing, the stores get their stock on sale or return so if a publisher sends them a shit book that doesn't sell, the store can send it right on back. All of this means that less care is taken both in making comic books and in marketing them than could be.
I think if more comics publishers focused more on making the publishing side of their business work, and less on trying to land-grab IP for future film deals, the comics industry might be in a better place. They'd have to look at, you know, maybe selling fewer titles, more carefully chosen and nurtured, to a broader variety of people. They might even hire enough staff so the editors are more than traffic cops — they have time to really work with a story to make sure it's the best it can be. And they have to start offering us a reason not to self publish.

When your reach the playground and ask your autistic toddler, "Slide or swing?," you never know if your little one will simply point -- or delight you with the word, "Slide!" If he says the word, lavish him with praise, but if he doesn't, just repeat, "Slide!" -- and then help him down the miniature slide. Everyday activities like this are rewarding for both of you as they encouraging bonding as well as help develop your tot's language and motor skills.
Patty Feet
Playing a simple game like "Patty Cake" can engage your toddler. As a variation, try "Patty Feet" with your little one. Sitting in front of him, move and clap his feet to the song. To encourage language development, say the words "feet" or "toes" as you gently squeeze his body parts. As you continue to "clap" his feet, encourage him to clap his hands together. This activity, based on the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) for autistic toddlers, can help develop speech and create body awareness.
Slam Dunk
Interactive ball games may capture your toddler's interest. Sitting on the floor near your little one, demonstrate the joy of throwing a ball into a bucket. Moving closer to your toddler, encourage him to toss balls into the bucket. Smile each time he throws a ball and sing out "Wheeee" as positive reinforcement. Keep his legs facing you to focus his attention on the activity and encourage interaction. To promote language development, say, "Ball," or ask "Want ball?" This activity also demonstrates the ESDM approach.
The Mystery Bag
Captivate your toddler by presenting him with a mystery bag containing items, such as toys, small stuffed animals, or action figures. Shake the bag to arouse curiosity and have your little one pick one item. Ask, "What's that?," or encourage him with a choice by saying, "What's that – a red truck or a blue truck?" With time, your toddler might provide the answer – or even ask the question. Reward a correct response with praise and let him play with the truck. The words, "What's that?" appeal to toddlers -- and help develop their abilities to use nouns. This focused behavioral approach demonstrates the Pivotal Response Training method that Dr. Robert Koegel and Dr. Lynn Koegel developed for children with autism at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Hidden Treasure
Appeal to your toddler's curiosity by hiding a favorite toy and providing the prompt "Where is it?" You could provide the answer, saying "Under the bed," or "On the chair." Once your toddler finds the toy, reward her with praise and playtime with that toy. Rewarding her with a cookie instead could prove confusing. With time, your little one may learn to use "where" questions and understand prepositions showing location. To base playtime activities on the Pivotal Response Training model, you must provide positive reinforcement directly related to the task. But most importantly, have fun with your toddler!

The Cleveland Browns are finding new and intuitive ways to lose games every week it seems like. It's hard to imagine that at one point, this team was 4-5 overall and holding a 13-0 lead against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Had they won that game, they could have pulled to within half of a game of the lead in the AFC North.
Since then, they're 0-5 and are closer to picking in the top-3 of next year's NFL Draft than being a playoff contender, and the losing streak may continue if they don't have Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden for the rest of the year.
Haden had to leave Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears when he went down with a hip injury that may sideline him for Week 16 against the New York Jets and beyond. The small benefit that comes for the Browns with Haden potentially out is they get to take a better look at third round rookie Leon McFadden.

NDS Review - 'Chronicles of Mystery: Curse of the Ancient Temple'
by Dustin Chadwell on Dec. 22, 2009 @ 12:00 a.m. PST | Filed under Reviews
Chronicles of Mystery combines features of classic point and click adventure, logic games and hidden object games. Sylvie, a young archaeologist, is about to begin the greatest adventure of her life. Having received an invitation to France from her uncle, a renowned historian, she arrives only to discover he's missing.

Through 6 preseason games, Damian Lillard has averaged 22.0 points and 3.6 assists in just 28.8 minutes.
If these numbers were extrapolated to match the 38.6 minutes he averaged last season, he'd be dishing out 4.8 assists and scoring a ridiculous 29.5 points per game, which would have been tops in the league.
While an asterisk the size of Shaq's derriere is needed to clarify that this is the PRESEASON, when teams are testing rotations and playing people who likely won't make the team come opening night (with apologies to E.J. Singler), they're still intriguing numbers.
It also begs the question: if we had any choice in the matter, what would we want from Damian? Would we want a first-option scorer, a guy who can create his own shot and split defense to draw fouls at will? Or would we want a facilitator, a point guard able to get LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, and Mo Williams theirs while sacrificing his own scoring opportunities?
Place your vote here, and feel free to leave an explanation in the comments.

Ugh, just get married and have beautiful babies already. More
Did stylists just fall down on the job? Did their celebrity clients go rogue? We'll never know, but we can at least enjoy the fall out. More
This is a low even for Kris Jenner, and it proves just how far gone we are in our perception of women and their worth. More
Before Instagram, we just had to speculate on how much Miley's tongue will stick out all day (to catch snowflakes!) or how much more innovative Neil Patrick Harris' gift for his partner will be than any I've ever given to anybody ever. Now, we can take a deep (well, deep-ish) look into how ridiculously famous people celebrated Christmas this year! More
Khloé Kardashian Odom recently filed for divorce from her soon-to-be ex husband Lamar Odom, after rumors of infidelity and drug use made their way around. Momager Kris Jenner was thrilled to speak publicly about the divorce, which seems fairly invasive. More
Oh, no. More
. And that's how they'll continue to celebrate, we bet, until Hermes starts stitching crude portraits onto Birkins. More
For many of us, Halloween is a time for making the most minimal effort possible to find a costume and proceed to get drunk in it. For celebrities, however, it's a chance to be photographed, to feel validated, to bask in the attention of the little people.
…And the quickest, easiest way to do so involves a garter belt (or a nipple pasty). Here are 25 (deeply ridiculous) celebrity sexy Halloween costumes. More
What they lack in perviness, they make up for in tacky clubwear and aggressive melodrama. More
Can we please stop these "beauty comes from within" bullshit campaigns? More
Perhaps it's the way they're paired with flowing locks. Perhaps it's how much celebrity stylists seem to think this look is "edgy." Perhaps it's the fact that HuffPo called the style "Skrillex-inspired" that triggered my acid reflux. More
Few brands are more guilty of Photoshop hackjobs than the Kardashian korporate umbrella. Remember the swimwear campaign? Or the Tang-orange lingerie kollection? All memorably awful photoshop. Poor Khloe Kardashian usually gets the worst of it–or her body is strategically hidden–but Kim's kurves … More
I'm kind of worried about Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom, because all they want to do is try their hand at business and charity and whatnot, and they just keep getting into trouble. The latest issue involves a T-shirt, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and the Statue of Liberty. Sort of. Khloe and Lamar have a clothing line called "Rich Soil" that sells a T-shirt (the one Khloe is wearing above) with an emblem that suspiciously resembles the logo New York's Department of Agriculture uses to identify food that has been grown in the state. More
Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian (otherwise known as the Kardashian sisters) (also Cerberus) are jettisoning yet another callous money-making venture into the ether for foolish people to buy. They've already covered books, fragrances, beauty, knock-off handbags and slave-labor clothing (not to mention all the shitty products they simply endorse), so why not? More

what Chevrolet captiva can be towed four wheels down behind a motorhome
asked by: Frank J
Expert Reply:
There are parts available that will allow you to flat tow a 2013 Chevy Captiva Sport. But to determine if it can be flat towed you will need to check the owners manual in the towing or recreational towing sections to see if it can be flat towed and if there are any special procedures or requirements.
If you can flat tow it then you would start with base plates. You can use the Blue Ox base plates, # BX3332, that you have referenced. Next you will need a tow bar. I reocmmend the Aventa LX, # BX7445. This is a motor home mount tow bar that also includes safety cables so you will not have to purchase cables separately.
You will also need a lighting solution. The easiest solution is the EZ mount kit # EZT20B that will fit at the top of the rear hatch. You will not have to cut into the vehicle wiring to use this lighting kit.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. Since the Aventa is a motor home mount tow bar, you can use the Blue Ox AutoStop, # BX88100. When the motor home slows down, the Captiva will push forward, pulling a cable that in turn pulls the brake pedal on the Jeep, slowing it.
Be sure to consult your vehicle owners manual to make sure it can be flat towed and for any special procedures and requirements. I have included two helpful links on flat towing for you.

Guestbook comments from the owner
We wanted to say thanks for the rental of your beautiful house. We had a great time there, and the house is perfect in all respects. When I asked our kids the other day what the best part of the trip was -- Atlantis or Spanish Wells -- they said Spanish Wells and your house! They loved the beach and exploring the grounds of the house every day. We explored the island and bays quite a bit, and also spent a day driving Eleuthera, and we had great times. By the way, Johnny and his wife are two of the most courteous, helpful people in the world, as you have been as well.

Blog Picks : Beet Hummus
Beets are one of those super healthy foods your conscience nags you to eat every once in a while. But I don't like beets as it is. Which is why when DK made an exciting version of hummus with beet as part of the recipe marathon in May, I bookmarked it instantly.
If only I get back to my bookmarked recipes in time. But even five months later, beet hummus was a delight. The only change I made to DK's recipe was using sesame seeds instead of tahini. And it only takes 5 minutes to make as long as you remember to soak chickpeas and have them boiled and ready.
Visibly more colorful, and also more delicious than the regular hummus. I am an instant fan.

Lucy Hale For Hautemuse magazine.
It's hard being a girl. We strive to be and look like people other than ourselves, and I sort of got sucked into that. You are never pretty enough or skinny enough. I feel like once you stop focusing on yourself so much and break out of analyzing everything about who you are and what you look like, you have a better perspective. Now I'm not trying to be something I'm not. I know what I believe in. I know my morals and I know what I have to offer. I am a five-foot-two girl with big eyebrows and I'm fine with it.

Empowering women and girls and promoting gender equality are priorities for development programs throughout the world. The U.S. Government has intensified its commitment to the health of women and girls, recognizing that gender-related inequalities and disparities affect women's and girls' health, their risk of HIV, and the health of families and communities. The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is also committed to integrating gender equality in its programs and policies to ensure that women have access to family planning, reproductive health, and HIV prevention and care services in the overall effort to improve women's health.
What We Do
The Health Policy Project (HPP) integrates gender in its family planning, reproductive health, HIV, and maternal health activities. HPP provides technical leadership and builds local capacity to translate the Women, Girls, and Gender Equality (WGGE) and PEPFAR gender principles into action. HPP also emphasizes collaboration in these efforts with other donors and harmonization with multilateral gender and health frameworks advanced by the World Health Organization (WHO), UN Women, UNAIDS, and others.
Strengthening Capacity to Scale Up Gender and Health Policies and Programs
HPP provides technical assistance to local health institutions and national-level leaders to enhance their ability to assess gender-related health policies and provide equitable access to family planning, reproductive health, and HIV services. Our activities include a focus on reducing gender-based violence, which increases HIV risk. We conduct women's leadership training and mentoring to strengthen women's roles in defining country priorities and using evidence to advocate for support for family planning and reproductive health. We work with local partners to strengthen the policy environment to advance the health of women and girls and to promote gender equality.
Developing and Applying Tools for Evidence-Based Decision Making for Women, Girls, and Gender Equality
To advance global understanding of gender in health policy, HPP develops tools and methodologies that civil society groups, program managers, and health officials can use to identify gender-related barriers and policy gaps. Such analysis helps decisionmakers set priorities to address the healthcare needs of women and girls and improve gender equality. HPP also promotes increased use of evidence in HIV policymaking and programming for women and girls.
Strengthening Advocacy for Women-Centered Health Issues and Approaches
HPP collaborates with government agencies, national and international organizations, women's associations, donors, and other stakeholders to strengthen their capacity to advocate effectively for increased commitment and resources that improve women's health. As a result, these individuals and groups are better equipped to influence policymakers to give increased support to maternal care, family planning and reproductive health, and HIV prevention services—all programs that enhance the quality of life for women, girls, and families.

Word for the World - January 17, 2013
Paul's Revelation
Dr. Randy White
"And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?' "And I answered, 'Who are You, Lord?' And He said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.'" (Acts 22:7–8,)
When Paul was under arrest in Jerusalem, toward the end of his ministry, he was given opportunity to share with his Hebrew brothers about his conversion experience. Paul said that, upon seeing the bright light on the road to Damascus, and hearing the voice from Heaven, he asked a question. This question seems almost redundant to our modern mind: Who are You, Lord? It is almost like someone asking me, Who are you, Randy?
Paul's question is really of another sort, however. Paul is saying, "I know this is a voice from God—it is the voice of the Lord—but I cannot comprehend how Almighty God can speak to me, so this must be the Messiah. Who are you, Messiah?" And the answer comes, "I am Jesus the Nazarene."
The Messiah gave a simple command for Paul, which He obeyed. In obedience, Paul was accepting the appointment God had for his life as the Apostle to the Gentiles.
This was just the first of what would be many revelations by God to Paul, who became the special servant of God to whom God would reveal the "mystery" which we call the church.
My conversion experience, and yours, was not as dramatic. I've never heard an audible voice from Jesus Christ. I will, someday! I will hear His voice when the angel gives the shout and the trumpet sounds and we meet the Lord in the air. Until then, I have His words securely given in the words of the Bible, as given to Paul and other men used of God for this special task. My task may not be as dramatic, but my obedience needs to be as sure.
In His Grace,
Dr. Randy White

from The Great Debate:
70 years after D-Day, some companies still struggle with their dark WWII history
As the world marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day this week with films, TV and radio broadcasts and dozens of new books specially published for the occasion, you might think that by now we know everything there is to know about World War Two. Check out any library or bookstore, and the amount of shelf-space dedicated to the 12 years of Hitler's Third Reich often exceeds that of any other period in history, by far.
Yet even today, one facet of this period continues to be shrouded in obscurity, and still yields new secrets. It is the role, and complicity, of companies in the atrocities committed by the Nazis.
Just last month, two German historians published a detailed account of how the forerunner of automaker Audi AG, Auto Union AG, used concentration camp inmates and dragooned labor at its factories in eastern Germany to produce tank and aircraft engines. About 3,700 inmates of makeshift concentration camps, set up specially for the company by the SS, worked as slave laborers in Zwickau and Chemnitz, alongside 16,500 others who were forcibly conscripted. Moreover, 18,000 inmates of the Flossenbürg concentration camp were put to work to build a massive underground factory for producing tank engines. An estimated 4,500 of those workers died in the process.
While there had been reports in the past about Auto Union's use of slave labor, the new details went far beyond previous estimates. The historians' study was financed by Audi itself. "We think we need to be completely open about our past," says spokesman Jürgen de Graeve. The automaker is altering a permanent exhibition about its history, housed next to its headquarters in Ingolstadt, and de Graeve says Audi intends to make instructional use of the material to teach young employees about the dangers of nationalism and extremism.
from Global Investing:
Route 312 – China's Route 66
The world's largest car market, China, with a population of 1.3 billion people and an emerging middle class, holds great potential for investors and consumers alike with annual growth rates in the auto sector expected to hold at around 23 percent to 2017, according to Alliance Bernstein Asset Managers.
Joint ventures (JV), the most popular structure for foreign firms investing in the automobile sector in the world's largest car market, are set to capitalise on a growing consumer base in a country with 3.3 million kilometres of asphalt. Traversing the so-called 'mother' road 312 (China's route 66) is becoming more of an attainable dream for the Chinese consumer.

People, who wanted some of my fan-art designs on t-shirts: face it, I honestly tried to catch the chance. It took me two days to make this design - my pals told me I really should try myself at some Marvel-based contests, like, gurrrl, look, VILLAIN, and also yeah, that's that contest that T.W. Hiddleston's judging, so don't miss the chance to paint some Loki…
I did.
And then - surprise, the FULL TEXT of the official rules is available for reading only when you're already submitting the full design. The rules in question specify, that you MUST be a resident of US of A. Why hello there, I'm over 18 and I can paint, but whatever, I'm from Russia, so forget it - something like that. Chalk out the word 'discrimination' here, I'm not complaining, I'm just - pals, would it hurt you if you wrote that somewhere people could actually SEE it BEFORE submitting the art?..
That was a challenge, worth giving it a try, anyway)))
I do hope that there will become the day when it would be legal to sale my printed designs of these characters. Write that down into The Book of Dreams I'm Working On ;)

- Petitioned U.S. House of Representatives
This petition was delivered to:
Make Food Security a Constitutional Right for All Americans
Petition by
San Francisco, United States
Multiply Your Impact
Turn your signature into dozens more by sharing this petition and recruiting people you know to sign.
Regular access to healthy food is universally recognized as a fundamental human right. Yet because it isn't mentioned in the U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights, food security for all Americans remains an afterthought in the creation of federal public policy.
Ask Congress to make food security a constitutional right for all Americans.
Food security and human rights have long gone hand in hand. In 1945, the U.S. signed onto the United Nations' Universal Declaration on Human Rights, which clearly states that "everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food."
By signing the U.N. declaration, our government has "talked the talk." But with 49 million Americans lacking sufficient food last year, it's clear that our legislators aren't backing up their commitment to food security with action.
Tell your members of Congress that consistent access to nutritious food isn't a luxury -- it's a necessity. Demand that they pass legislation making food security a constitutional right.

Yet last year, 49 million Americans lacked a sufficient amount of food. In the U.S., 1 in 4 children goes hungry on a regular basis. These statistics are unacceptable anywhere, especially in the world's richest nation. Yet they continue to worsen.
I encourage you to take the lead in ending domestic hunger by drafting a constitutional amendment that includes food security as a basic right for all Americans.
This is a bipartisan initiative, since Americans are going hungry across the nation in both red and blue states. And there's no political risk: who could logically argue that healthy food should remain a luxury for those who can afford it? And the benefits to ending food insecurity would be monumental, from minimizing obesity-related health care costs to improving children's academic performances.
Please make food security a constitutional right, and help end chronic hunger and malnourishment in America.
Thank you for your support.

Great movie - sublime
This is worth a watch - eerily familiar to those of us in clevnet land. I really feel though that they could do an entire mini-series because 2 hours felt like a light dusting over the problems and ideas going on. You could do just one 2 hour documentary on the artists moving into Detroit or 2 hours on the people being hurded into specific parts of the city and out of their current places. There are just so many legs on this centipede.

Window box brackets for railings make it easy to take your flower box containers to the deck rail. Despite their name, a window flower box is never contained to only a window, and deck railing brackets allow for new and innovative applications that can liven up front stoops, porches and wooden decks. Deck planter brackets can accommodate a range of different deck railing materials and sizes to work with any project.
Whether your porch or deck railing is made from wood, iron or aluminum, Windowbox offers deck planter brackets that will latch on tight. Each pair of deck railing brackets is designed for a sturdy display of a full flower box – soil, plants and flowers included. Window box brackets for railings are each a heavy-duty, outdoor-rated product that lets your container gardens hang along a porch or deck rail in an even line. Installation is also easy enough that any do-it-yourselfer can take it on as a solo project.
Using deck planter brackets opens up a whole new range of possibilities for a creative flower box display. Whereas lining pots or planters along the top of railings can create a rocky situation if a structure shifts or high winds blow through, utilizing window box bracket for railings is a safe and effective way to adorn any deck rail. Container gardens can also create a natural screen when planted with taller plants or cascading vines and suspended along a deck rail to shade nearby neighbors from view.
For customers who are purchasing containers from Windowbox, we offer deck railing brackets to suit any flower box in our collection. Certain deck rail brackets are better suited to particular window box designs, and we make our recommendations in each product description. By clicking on products above, more information is available on which window box brackets for railings are the best fit for your deck rail and flower box type.
Deck railing brackets come in styles that are decorative or invisible designs that disappear once the window box is applied. Railing adapters and heavy-duty cable ties are also offered in this category for further support.
