Answer an online Quiz and learn how to apply the 5 habits according to your personal preferences and schedule. Receive suggestions from the author – David Zulberg. ONE TIME FEE
Habit 1 - LIGHT MEAL
Your first change is to replace just one meal a day with a lighter one – typically a fruit bowl, a salad, or other light options like cereal, eggs and toast. Most people will choose to have the Light meal for breakfast but it can be had for any of the meals. It is always best to stick to the same schedule so a habit can form but after the 5 weeks, you can apply the principles to any meal as you see fit.
Habit 2 - PV MEAL
In addition to your Light meal, you'll now replace your largest meal of the day with one that has only protein with vegetables. You can even have a glass of red wine with this one! My favorite is grilled salmon or chicken with sauteed vegetables. Many different options are described in the book.
Habit 3 - V-PLUS MEAL
Make your remaining meal each day a "V-Plus" Meal – the V is for veggies! Eat as you normally would (protein and healthy grains/starches), but for seconds, it's veggies only. On the 5 Skinny Habits we want you to include all food groups and enjoy your favorite meals.
Habit 4 - EXERCISE
Studies show that exercise improves weight loss statistics and reduces body fat, not just weight. Exercise prevents disease and reduces stress levels. Simply add 10 minutes of cardio, just 3 times per week. As you advance in the program, we explain how you can increase exercise duration at the right pace and introduce simple strengthening exercises for maximum results.
Habit 5 - SUBSTITUTION
This week is all about snacks between meals, replacing your usual snacks with water, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, or fruit between meals. The key is not to give into unhealthy cravings and give your body a chance to enjoy what it really needs. At the right time, 'Smart Exceptions' will allow you to eat any snacks within certain guidelines.

The 5 Skinny Habits puts forward a weight-loss program that addresses dietary, exercise, and behavioral aspects of eating. I like the idea of combining ancient sources with current opinion.

New and experienced weavers alike are always on the lookout for new weave-structure patterns. The Weaver's Idea Book presents a wide variety of patterns for the simple rigid-heddle loom, accompanied by harness drafts for multishaft looms. The techniques include leno, Brooks bouquet, soumak, and embroidery on fabric. Each chapter contains weaving patterns along with swatches illustrating the techniques, accompanied by step-by-step photography.
The book is arranged by structure or type of weave, from variations on plain weave to doubleweave. With traditional patterns from around the world, bands, and fabrics woven on two double heddles, The Weaver's Idea Book brings together a variety of ways to create exquisite cloth. Weaving tips and tricks help weavers at all levels achieve their textile dreams. In addition to pattern drafts, Jane offers project ideas that guide the reader through creating functional woven projects, from wearables to home decor.
Weaving, especially on rigid-heddle looms, is enjoying a resurgence, and contemporary weavers are in need of a book to bridge the divide between basic books and complex text designed for advanced weavers with sophisticated tools. Celebrating the immense potential for creativity possible with the simplest of tools, The Weaver's Idea Book opens new avenues for exploration on both the rigid-heddle and multishaft looms.
Jane Patrick
Number Of Pages:
Jane Patrick grew up on the broad plains of south-central Nebraska where, from an early age, she earned the moniker of "the family putzer" because she was always making things. It wasn't until she walked into the weaving studio at Löngumýri home economics school as an exchange student in Iceland that she knew that weaving was something she must do. Since then weaving has been both her livelihood and her hobby. Jane is the former editor of Handwoven magazine and is currently vice president of sales for Schacht Spindle Company Inc. She has taught weaving classes and workshops, given lectures on weaving, and juried textile art shows. Jane lives in Boulder, Colorado.
I have downloaded almost all videos and e-books relating to Rigid Heddle Loom weaving and have learned so much. The hardbound version of The Idea Book will be most beneficial for me to be able to take my time and plan some creative projects.
(Posted on 11/1/2014)
(Posted on 11/1/2014)
This is an excellent book as not only does it contain stitch patterns and a few projects but also techniques I'd never considered using my loom for. It is well presented both in terms of text and photographs so all in all a must have book for anyone who owns a rigid heddle loom. I only wish there were more hours in a day to complete all the projects it has inspired me to make.

This is not so much a review of the book (which I have not received, even though I ordered it September 12) but a review of Interweave's shipping procedures. I paid standard shipping for this book, which should have had it at my house in 4 or 5 days. Yet, 14 days have passed, and no book has arrived. What's up with that?

This book is an especially helpful tool. I am totally pleased!

(Posted on 1/28/2012)
Love all the different projects that are in this book. I learned several new techniques and will use them on both rigid heddle and my two harness Union loom.
(Posted on 10/5/2011)
(Posted on 10/5/2011)
If you could only buy one rigid heddle book, it would have to be this one! I like the lay out, especially because it lays flat and you can keep it beside your loom as you work, and I have found it very easy to follow Jane's descriptions for learning a new technique. As the title says, its an ideas book, so its not step by step projects, but its a thorough grounding in the RH weaving techniques you can use to create your own inspirational and unique cloth. building on the work done by earlier weavers, Jane is at the forefront of pushing the boundaries of Rigid Heddle weaving. It's no longer a child's toy, but a legitimate style of weaving in its own right that is now being embraced right around the world. This one is a keeper!
(Posted on 3/9/2011)
(Posted on 3/9/2011)
Thank you SO MUCH Jane and the Interweave team for producing this wonderful resource! I just knew my little RH loom would be the right choice for me and Jane has reinforced that you can do just as well without 16 shafts! (apologies to those with "big" looms) I could weave a new pattern everyday for years with the inspiration and clear directions Jane has provided. Worth the wait from pre-order to receipt! Thanks guys. xxxx

Why are you fixated on what a dollar buys?
People are fixated on what a dollar buys because they look to it as a way to store value. Misguided, perhaps, but it's easy-think and comforting to think of the world as unchanging.
I'm not sure I qualify as a "Leftist Urban" type, but I'll take a stab.
John Bailo says
My theory is all they really want is to contain as many taxable individuals (and dependent welfare recipients) within their Metro Area fiefdoms so that the the bureaucracy becomes as powerful as possible. Anything that allows for someone to "poach" a job/salary but live in a low cost area must be suppressed.
I don't think it is so self serving as that.
1. Based on the way you labeled the group, I'd guess they believe in the virtues of urban living (of which there are many) and are interested in things that support it.
2. High speed trains don't really have much of a role to play in rural / urban commuting. They are suited to long haul routes with infrequent stops, but you don't get to enjoy the benefits of high speed for shorter distances.
London manages to draw workers from a rather large radius by using a combination of subway to service the urban area, and trains which bring people in from the outlying areas. They aren't high speed, and it works pretty well in my experience.
SF to LA? That would be a good candidate for high speed rail, and I suspect the "Leftist Urban types" would be on board with that idea.
Perhaps they aren't in favor of high speed rail for exurb/rural commuting because it isn't practical.
Strategist says
Your mortgage does not go up if you have pets.
But your maintenance costs do. Dogs pee on carpeting. Dogs scratch dors. Pet hair clogs HVAC systems. Dogs dig up plants, pee on (and kill) grass, etc..
Pets - dogs in particular - are a hassle for landlords. Both for the additional wear and tear, and for the tenant complaint factor (particularly in multi-family settings).

I am doing a standard ajax request and I have a rails controller action that does:
def up_vote
render :nothing => true
This does not trigger my jquery ajax success callback--- It does however trigger the statusCode: 200 callback, but I want to use success instead of that. The rail rendering docs say to use "head" instead of render :nothing => true, so I tried doing head :ok, but that results in the same outcome.
How can I make this method trigger the success callback?

The Kitten Covers
PROTIP: Press 'i' to view the image gallery, 'v' to view the video gallery, or 'r' to view a random entry.
This submission is currently being researched & evaluated!
You can help confirm this entry by contributing facts, media, and other evidence of notability and mutation.
The Kitten Covers is a single topic blog featuring album covers from classic records with cats photoshopped into the scene, replacing an element of the original artwork.
The Kitten Covers[1] was created by musician and designer Alfra Martini[2] while home sick from her day job in October 2011. While sifting through online record catalogs, she pictured British musician David Bowie as a kitten. She chose the cover from his 1973 album Aladdin Sane, replacing Bowie's face with a white kitten wearing similar makeup. Her boyfriend liked the images so much, he suggested she make more and start a Tumblr blog to showcase them.
Before the launch of the Kitten Covers, record album covers have been used in numerous photoshop memes and art projects, beginning in 2008 with the sleevefacing" photo fad, which involves masking one's own face with a record sleeve. In August 2010, a single topic blog called Album Tacos[5] began featuring photoshopped record covers in which the subjects are replaced with tacos and other Mexican dishes. In August 2011, another blog LIVE![10] began curating classic album covers in which the deceased were removed from the scenes.
The Kitten Covers was featured on Buzzfeed[14] and I Can Has Cheezburger[16] on November 3rd, 2011. The same day, the link was shared on MetaFilter.[15] Over the course of November, photos from blog were featured on Vulture[4], Laughing Squid[17], animal blog PetSide[18], culture blog HelloGiggles[19], CBS News[22] and NPR.[20] On November 15th, TIME Newsfeed[21] named the Kitten Covers the Tumblr of the Week. User-generated instances have also appeared on Tumblr with the tags "the kitten covers"[23] and "kitten covers"[24], though the blog is not accepting submissions as of June 2012.
Alfra Martini was first interviewed about the Kitten Covers by Humor in America[3] in February 2012. During the interview, she revealed that her boyfriend, Zachary Cale, is a record collector and plays a large part in choosing the covers she photoshops. She also stated that she had no idea the blog would attract so many viewers, with the pressure from her growing Tumblr follower count driving her to have "nightmares about kittens." In a second interview with DC-based music blog Fuzzy Logic[25] in April 2012, Martini noted that her favorite creations were the cat versions of Parliament's "Mothership Connection" (below left) and AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" (below right).

The murder of an ex-drug dealer ex-con—gunned down on his mother's doorstep—seems just another turf war fatality. Why then has Seattle homicide investigator J.P. Beaumont been instructed to keep this assignment hush-hush? Meanwhile, Beau's lover and fellow cop, Mel Soames, is involved in her own confidential investigation. Registered sex offenders from all over Washington State are dying at an alarming rate—and not all due to natural causes.
A metropolis the size of Seattle holds its fair share of brutal crime, corruption, and dirty little secrets. But when the separate trails they're following begin to shockingly intertwine, Beau and Mel realize that they have stumbled onto something bigger and more frightening than they anticipated—a deadly conspiracy that's leading them to lofty places they should not enter . . . and may not be allowed to leave alive.

Tidbits that cross my desk
A few posts back on this bulletin, I posted some info/pics on a hydrocart someone had. Another email was just r'cd on these unique lil' raceboats, I thought I'd share along with some neat photos.
Hi Phil —
Thanks for taking the time and posting these jpegs . My father, Craig Bowman helped found the National Hyrokart Association in 1963. He was working in a friend's fiberglass shop in El Monte, CA where the owner and his son were getting into boat building and racing. Since my dad was the lightest weight guy at the shop, he was recruited to be their driver. The attached photos were from a meet on Oct 6th, 1963 at Lake Ming in Bakersfield, CA where dad won the inboard division on a Dolphin hydrokart. The membership card was designed by my dad when they started the association earlier in the season. He was charging about $20 to register and join, which entitled you to a booklet of meets and rules & regs, etc. that was advertised in the back of a popular boating magazine at the time.
Letters began pouring in from all over, and he was even contacted by a man in Russia who was compiling a government-issued almanac on boat racing and very interested in the hydrokart phenomenon… At this point, my dad got a little nervous as he had accumulated $3-400 dollars of membership dues and wasn't quite sure what to do next — it all happened very quickly. Eventually it was funneled into proper usage for NHA activities and the rest is history, but I thought hydrokart enthusiats might enjoy this bit of history and vintage photos.
Dear Sirs,
My name is Louis A. Skuce of San Diego, CA, and I used to live in El Monte, CA from 1962 to 1965. My Dad, Nicholas Skuce, my brother, Nicholas A. Skuce Jr. (Digga), and my self
were the founders of Dolphin Marine, later Dolphin Engineering and Research Co. True to the article above, Craig Bowman was recruited by my dad to drive my boat, (I was too young and inexperienced at the time); and yes, he won the first hydro kart race at Hansen Dam on May 5, 1963, as well as the U.S. – 1 Championship for single engine inboard karts that year. What a delight to see this bit of hydro kart history printed here in this publication. Thanks for posting it. Sincerely, Louis Skuce.
Hi Louis — Thank you for confirming my dad's role in your family business back in the early 60's. I would love to talk to you sometime regarding those days and what you remember about my father, Craig. He is currently living in Mexico enjoying his retirement. Please contact me thru my web site http://www.ericbowman.com
Thanks again,

The rumours were true.
The LSU gymnastics team added one of the nation's top recruits when Sarah Finnegan signed her National Letter of Intent with the Tigers Monday. …
… Finnegan is a senior international elite gymnast who served as an alternate for the U.S. Gymnastics Olympic team, known as the "Fierce Five," that won gold at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. …
"I have to give a lot of credit to (LSU associate head coach) Jay (Clark) because he has worked so hard in his consistent, tenacious effort to recruit the best gymnasts to LSU. Sarah certainly fits in that category along with our other signees Lexie Priessman, Julianna Cannamela, McKenna Kelley and Kaitlyn Szafranski." …

"We are thrilled about our 2015 recruiting class," said UCLA head coach Valorie Kondos Field.
"With the addition of Macy Toronjo, Madison Kocian and Simone Biles, we are bringing in not only talent but a lot of competitive experience and rock-solid character.
… Simone Biles is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, recruitable talent in NCAA history. Her explosive gymnastics and energetic personality are contagious and are elements we're hoping will permeate throughout our team.
All three of these student-athletes are great gymnasts who have strong personal character and represent all that UCLA Gymnastics has been built on."
Biles and Kocian plan to defer enrolment until after the 2016 Olympics.
Larry G Nassar adds important commentary:
I have a love/hate relationship at this time of the year.
I love seeing all the seniors finally signing their college letters to confirm their NCAA Gymnastics dreams!! I search facebook and instagram looking for all the pictures and praises!!
I hate thinking how horrible it is for all those seniors that were injured or just needed one more year to be at the level needed to do college gymnastics. But, here they sit, with no scholarship since the NCAA schools have tied up their scholarships with 8th and 9th grade children. There is just something wrong with that. Just not right. Makes me sad.

"He was a powerhouse coach and motivator, a keen organizer, a visionary inventor and masterful showman and promoter of gymnastics.

In both North and South, one of two ways. On the one hand, attention has been citizens speak of mounting disillusionment with made to strengthening the processes of participation – government, based on concerns about corruption, lack of that is the ways in which poor people exercise voice responsiveness to the needs of the poor and the absence through new forms of inclusion, consultation and/or of a sense of connection with elected representatives and mobilisation designed to inform and to influence larger bureaucrats (Commonwealth Foundation 1999). institutions and policies. On the other hand, growing attention has been paid to how to strengthen the As traditional forms of political representation are being accountability and responsiveness of these institutions and re-examined, direct democratic mechanisms are policies through changes in institutional design and a increasingly being drawn upon to enable citizens to play a focus on the enabling structures for good governance. more active part in decisions which affect their lives. In Each perspective has often perceived the other as this context, the questions of how citizens – especially the inadequate, with one warning that consultation without poor – express voice and how institutional responsiveness attention to power and politics will lead to 'voice without and accountability can be ensured have become influence' and the other arguing that reform of political paramount. institutions without attention to inclusion and consultation will only reinforce the status quo. In this article, we explore some of these challenges. Repositioning participation to embrace concerns with Increasingly, however, we are beginning to see the inclusive citizenship and rights, we examine a range of importance of working on both sides of the equation. As contemporary participatory mechanisms and strategies concerns about good governance and state that seek to bridge the gap between citizens and the responsiveness grow, questions about the capacity of state. citizens to engage and make demands on the state come to the fore. In both South and North, there is growing consensus that the way forward is found in a focus on New contexts, new challenges both a more active and engaged civil society which can In many countries, measures to bring government 'closer express demands of the citizenry and a more responsive to the people' through decentralisation and devolution and effective state which can secure the delivery of have prompted shifts in approaches to service delivery that needed public services.

In doing so, they aim to bridge the gap between number of broader participatory methods for appraisal, citizen and the state by recasting citizenship as practised planning, monitoring large institutions, training and rather than as given. Placing an emphasis on inclusive awareness building. The emphasis here has been on the participation as the very foundation of democratic importance of participation not only to hold others practice, these approaches suggest a more active notion accountable, but also as a self-development process, of citizenship. This recognises the agency of citizens as starting with the articulation of grassroots needs and 'makers and shapers' rather than as 'users and choosers' priorities and moving towards the establishment of self- of interventions or services designed by others (Cornwall sustaining local organisations. and Gaventa 2000).

Social Political Building on this new thinking about participation, inclusive participation participation citizenship, rights and responsibilities, DFID's recent strategy paper Human Rights for Poor People offers Participatory important new directions for participation in development. methods Using the more insistent language of 'obligation' rather than the softer term 'responsiveness', it enjoins governments to honour commitments to citizens. Casting Engagement in social and community participation has participation as a human right in itself, it situates the right inevitably brought citizens in closer contact with the to participate as basic to the realisation of other human institutions and processes of governance. Conversely, rights: 'Participation in decision-making is central to leaders of projects, programmes and policy research enabling people to claim their rights.

With this has come a renewed emphasis on ballot box. Equally importantly, however, where inclusion and on issues of social justice.

Clearly, this attention being paid to measures to address entrenched also holds the promise of electoral advantage. These gender bias. moves offer new spaces in which the concept of participation can be expanded to one of 'citizenship New spaces and places for citizenship participation', linking participation in the political, participation community and social spheres (see Figure 1). Such new thinking about citizenship, participation and rights raises the question of how to create new mechanisms, or spaces and places for citizen engagement.

Jack Morris won far more games (233) than any other pitcher in baseball over a 14-year span (1979-1992), only twice spent time on the disabled list, and amassed an amazing string of more than 500 straight starts without missing a turn in the rotation. His pitching performance in Game Seven for the Minnesota Twins in the 1991 World Series is one of the greatest in post-season annals. Critics have attacked Morris' legacy due to his high ERA, claiming he won due to great run support. Those same critics ignore the fact that Morris pitched much of his career in a tremendous hitters' ballpark (Tiger Stadium). Morris was the winningest pitcher of the 1980s, and the ace of three World Championship teams.

Quotes About
"You have to wonder if enough of these voters will ever be able to look past his 3.90 career ERA to get him to the podium. Well, if you toss out that ERA (which is lower than Jason Schmidt's career ERA, by the way), what more evidence of this man's perpetual ace-hood could a voter ask for? This is about more than just Game 7, 1991. Jack Morris pitched a no-hitter. He started three All-Star Games. He was a huge figure on three World Series pitching staffs. He always started Opening Day. And consider this: From 1979 to '92, when Morris and Nolan Ryan were both doing their thing, Morris had 65 more wins than Ryan (233-168). I've voted for him eight years in a row, and never once felt I'd overinflated what he was in his day." — writer Jayson Stark, 2007
Quotes From
"The only time I talk to a woman when I'm naked is when she's on top of me or I'm on top of her." — Jack Morris, to female reporter Jennifer Frey in 1990 when she approached him in the Tiger clubhouse
Replaced By
Orel Hershiser took over as the Indians' veteran righty in 1995, after Morris had retired.
Best Season
Morris had a lot of similar seasons. In 1986 he paced the loop in shutouts and struck out 223 batters. He had several other seasons that were comparable.
Jack Morris made a major league-record 13 straight opening day starts, from 1980 through 1992.
On April 7, 1984, Morris threw a no-hitter at Comiskey Park against the White Sox, tying Bob Feller for the earliest no-hitter in history. Morris loaded the bases twice in the game, but got out of the jams with strikeouts. He whiffed Ron Kittle for the final out. Lance Parrish was his catcher... Morris had 25 games in his career in which he struck out at least 10 batters, with a high of 12 (three times).
Morris was tall, but not towering, athletiic, but not muscle-bound. He had almost the perfect pitcher's body. He was clean-shaven when he first came up, because that was Sparky's policy, but soon he grew his bushy, brown, almost red mustache. When he retired he was almost the exact same weight as when he first debuted. He kept himself in marvelous shape. As a consequence, he was an excellent fielding pitcher, though he never won a Gold Glove, which was an oversight.
Cantankerous Jack
Morris often alienated media and teammates during his career. He twice went on media-strikes in which he refused to talk to sportswriters. In 1994, while with the Indians, Morris insisted on going back to his ranch between starts rather than travel with the team. During the 1984 season, as the Tigers roared to the World Series title, Morris bickered with the media, stormed out of the locker room, and irritated his teammates and manager Sparky Anderson with his childish antics.

A few in the Detroit media called him "Mt. Morris" because of his hot temper.
The Pitches He Threw
Fastball, slider, split-finger fastball, changeup (though he rarely used it). According to Morris, he had three fastballs: a two-seamer, a four-seamer, and one he gripped with four fingers and pushed with his thumb so it actually got some backspin.
Post-Season Notes
Morris's record in the post-season: 6-1 with a 3.80 ERA in 13 starts; 3-0 in the World Series with 40 K's in 51 2/3 innings.
