I have a few minutes, so I thought I would post some goals for this weekend.
Some friends and I have been working toward a big project.... it's been keeping me (all of us, really) quite busy...
I did manage to get in my work out today. I missed Wed.--hip hurt and was working non-stop all day--so I only got in 4 of my work outs (no time tomorrow). But I got almost almost all my goal minutes in--145 when my goal is 150. I'm way short on calories, but that's at least partly because I wasn't able to fence this week and partly because I'm still working back to where I was before I got sick. Still, I'm pretty satisfied. I even got in 2 out of my 3 strength training days--maybe not great but I'm getting there and it's been a crazy week.
So my goals for this weekend?
To drink lots of water
To remember to take breaks as needed
To take mini-yoga breaks and stretch out my body (and mind!)
To not sweat the small stuff
To at regularly--not binge eat, but get regular meals/snacks with plenty of protein.
And to do an awesome job on this project!
I've been really busy I'm afraid.... got a major project this weekend (which I'm really excited about, but isn't health related) so I haven't been around much.
But I wanted to say that I got my team for the BLC 16.... and I'm really excited because I got the team I wanted, Wisteria Wolves, with 4_1Healthycyndi! Whoo hoo!
Or I should say.... ARROOO !
Remember how my doctor was so upset with me because I weighed (at the office 180) and I couldn't figure out how I jumped 10 pounds? Well, according to my scale, I didn't. I weighed myself this morning, as well as finishing the last of my base line measurements for the BLC, and I weigh.... 169 lbs. Which is within a pound (and smaller, at that) than I weighed the last time I measured myself. And while maybe the Wii Fit isn't the most accurate scale out there, it has held up pretty well against the other scales I've had access to--certainly not off by 10 lbs! Nor did my other measurements jump by any shocking level--not that I was really expecting them too. If they had, I wouldn't be able to keep wearing the same clothes!
Anyway, for the BLC we were encouraged to record some non-scale measure baselines so that we can track our progress in ways beyond the scale. This seemed especially a good idea for me, since I struggle to even lose a little weight, and my total goal for the challenge is only 6 lbs--which places my goal right now for 163 pounds.
So my non-scale baseline:
How many flights of stairs can you take before becoming winded
Well, 20 flights before my legs hurt too much. I never really became winded.
How much weigh can you lift/How many reps
Bicep curls�10 lbs, 35 reps
How many crunches
30 (to the point where pain/hard to do control, maybe not limit where physically unable to do any more)
Take measurements
Bust: 40.0�
Chest: 33.5�
Waist: 41�
Hips: 44�
Thighs: 26�
Calves: 16�
Upper arm: 13.0�
Lower arm: 10.5
Neck: 13.5
What size are you wearing
Size 14, but it�s tight.
I can't say that I'm particularly happy with the size and physical measurements (I'm more happy with the fitness ones) but it's a baseline. That means it's my starting point, not my ending point--by the end of the challenge I hope to have improved all of these measures.
Borrowed from 4-1HealthyCyndi, though I have adjusted the days as I'm starting a day later than she is:
D -- DO IT -- Got something you've been meaning to get done? Organizing, cleaning, ST exercises...I know we all have those sort of things...5pt each day you get something done you've been meaning to do, but just haven't found the time :)
E -- EAT FREGGIES -- For every serving of freggies you eat give yourself 1pt NO MAX!
E -- EXERCISE -- For every minutes of exercise you do this week give yourself 1 pt :) NO MAX!
R -- REST -- Hunting takes alot of energy so be sure to rest up each night! Receive 1pt for every hour you sleep each night. NO MAX! (Starts with tonights sleep and then use Tuesday nights before reporting your number with WI :) )
D - 5pts.
E - 3 pts.
R - 8 pts.
Total -16 pts.
E -1 pts
R - 10 pts.
Total - 11 pts.
D - 10 pts.
E -2 pts.
R - 10 pts.
Total - 22 pts.
D - 5 pts.
E - 3 pts.
R - 7 pts.
Total - 15 pts.
E - 5 pts.
R - 8 pts.
Total - 13 pts.
D - 5 pts.
E - 7 pts.
R- 6 pts.
Total - 18 pts.
DEER Total - 95 pts.
I expected to have done a lot better-- especially on the freggies and exercise front, but that's not how it worked out. I'm disappointed in my score, but I had some pretty unusual curve balls thrown at me this week and I think under the conditions I made pretty good decisions and that's all that anyone can really ask of themselves. But it does mean that my score isn't as high as I wanted it to be.
On the upside, I started working out my base line scores for the BLC, though I decided to post pone it when I realized that the tetanus booster made my arm really hurt and maybe that wasn't ideal for seeing how much weight I could lift. But I did pretty well on the stair exercise (seeing how many flights of stairs I could walk up before coming winded) though I'm not entirely sure what they mean by "winded." I was breathing harder by the time I stopped at 20 flights (going up and down, not all up!), but I wasn't panting and I could probably have kept on going but I wasn't sure if they meant "breathing harder" which would have been a lot earlier or "panting" which I don't know that I ever would have reached-- my legs were pretty sore by 20 flights! And as it is I can really feel it today and I'm hoping to be able to fence tomorrow.
This has been a pretty stressful week on a lot of levels. Oh, not all bad, and I think I handled most of the mini-crises and complications and juggling that came my way well enough. But that did mean that some of things that I had *intended* to get done didn't get done. I didn't do well on the DEER challenge at all, for a lot of reasons--mostly do to things coming up that I wasn't expecting and had to deal with. I didn't exercise, same thing. I ate pretty well, or at least so I thought, but that's about it.
But going into this morning, I was okay with that (or rather, I was generally happy with myself; I still don't regret my choices. Sure, things didn't go as I had planned but that happens and I think in every instance I made the right choice, at least based on the options available to me at the time. If I had known ahead of time, maybe I could have adjusted better, but things are surprises *because* you can't plan for them ahead of time). But then I had my yearly check up with my doctor and now I'm really frustrated and, frankly, angry.
Two years ago, I was the one who broached the subject of my being over weight, hoping he could give me some advice on how to deal with it (as I had been trying to deal with it on my own at that point for at least 3 years with out much success.) At that time, according to his scale, I weighed 188 pounds. His suggestion--eat less and exercise more. He said all I had to do was exercise "a little."
Um, thanks. 1) I've tried eating less and 2) I had been exercising/doing physical therapy on my hip at that point for at least 4 years. I had reached a point where I could walk maybe 20 minutes at a time, so it's not like I was in great shape, but it wasn't like I was sitting on my couch eating chips all day either.
But I was able to eventually get him to give me some more useful advice/suggestions. It was like pulling teeth, because he tended to be dismissive of my concerns, saying that if I would win a million dollars to lose weight or learn pilates or whatever I would do it. And I wanted to say--sure, because then I could afford to pay for a personal trainer etc. to help me do this, but I don't have a million dollars and I won't so I'm trying to make things work with what I've *got* to work with. But eventually I got information to help me get started. I also did some work on my own and was introduced, after asking friends for advice, to sparkspeople.com in April.
Well, I weighed in this morning at the office at 180--10 lbs heavier than my last weigh in at home, which wasn't that long ago. It's also somewhat heavier than I weighed in at his office last year, though I don't remember what that number is; I use my home scale for my records.
So I go in and he does the physical and asks me the normal questions and stuff and I try to get him to talk about my headaches, which are really plaguing me. Instead of talking about them, he instead got on my case about being overweight, warning me that I'm approaching a "dangerous" BMI and that I need to draw the line in the sand etc. I said I know, I'm trying but I'm having a really hard time losing weight. I've been working on this for 2 years and I've lost at best 8 lbs (it was at 10 lbs, but I kept gaining and losing weight and it's now at 8 lbs lost--at least on my scale, where I wear myself in basically the same clothes--workout clothes--and first thing in the morning so the same time of day). I'm working out--I fence, I do cardio of some kind 5 days a week, I strength train 2-3 days a week, I stretch, I watch what I eat and track it regularly and while how much I eat varies depending on how much I work out (lately it's been mostly between 1400 and 1700 calories; when I'm working out more it's closer to 1600-1900. According to my tracking of both fitness and food I'm burning 300-500 calories *consistently* more than I eat. Even in the last two months, when I was sick, I didn't usually eat more than 1800 calories, and often quite a bit less because I wasn't very hungry.
His response--obviously you aren't. I'm really taken aback, because I had been expecting him to say something like "let's work through this" like maybe talking about typical workouts or diet or whatever. Because, yeah, the math on paper is obviously not working but I don't know *why.*
Well, what do you want me to do then?
WTF? More? More what? I actually asked him that, totally taken aback--more what? He said, "more."
I already work out--or had been before I hurt my hip and got sick and will again as I get back into it--an average of about 8 hours every .week. I push myself as hard as I can and even sometimes push myself too hard, which is frustrating for different reasons I literally can't do more there--not right now. Maybe eventually. Hopefully eventually. But not now.
I track my food. If I drop below 1400-1500 calories, even if I'm not working out, I get hungry. As in, I can't concentrate on anything at all but how hungry I am and feel like crap because my blood sugar crashed and have no energy and feel like I'm starving and instead of enjoying a movie or hanging out with my husband or writing or cleaning the tub all I can think of is that I'm hungry. But the metabolism for a woman my weight and age is about 1800 calories a day--and he says that my metabolism etc. is "normal" because my thyroid etc. all says that I should be normal. But if my base metabolism is 1800 and I'm eating only 1500 a day, I shouldn't be *gaining* weight.
He offered to have me talk to a dietitian. By this point, I'm getting irritated, because I've done research, and I track my food, and I've talked to my aunt who *is* a registered dietitian and I've always eaten pretty well and we're doing better than ever. My carbs, proteins, and fats are mostly where they need to be. I drink water. I eat vegetables and whole grains and lean proteins.
He says then portions are the problem.
But I track everything as well as I can. Sure, I don't measure *everything* I eat, but I measure a lot and I read nutrition labels and I'm doing the best that I can. Sometimes I don't know and I have to guess, but I still do the best I can with the information I have available. Nothing more can be asked of anyone.
He says he's surprised because he thought if I were told something needed to be done by Friday it would be done by Thursday. I know that he thought if he appealed to my competitive, goal oriented nature, that would take care of it. And frankly, by my measures it should have. I've made a lot of changes, big and small; I've *tried* and I'm still trying and I'm still making adjustments and trying to do better. But I also learned a long time ago that simply throwing myself at the wall and failing over and over and over doesn't help anything; appealing too much to my competitive nature without the tools to do anything is a recipe for disaster.
He says that he guesses that it's not "important enough." Again, WTF? What does he expect of me? I'm working so hard at this. I'm constantly struggling between finding time to work out and other commitments. I try to do fun and active things with my friends. I'm trying to get enough sleep, to drink less pop, to eat smaller meals on a more regular basis, to eat healthier options, to eat enough vegetables and more whole grains, to drink my 8 glasses of water *every * day, to work out regularly even when that means carving out that time out of other things that are important to me. And this on top of an already very full plate. Being healthy is all well and good but I also want to graduate and there are other things I need to fit in there too, from domestic chores to something resembling a social life at least occasionally to the me time that keeps me stable. What good will having a BMI of 25 if I'm unhappy and stressed out of my mind?
I don't know what else to do. I want a healthy lifestyle, sure, but as part of my life, not overwriting everything else. I need to balance it with other things that are important with me. And yeah, sometimes that means a friend calls me up because he or she needs help and I end up not working out, but it also means that I *am* working out more often than not, and I'm usually eating well, and have made I thought real, positive changes that might actually last. If everything I do always takes second place to working out and cutting calories, and I'm unhappy and hungry and feeling deprived and punished etc., it's not going to work out in the long run.
I'm so angry right now. Angry with him, for his assumptions that I'm either lying about working out and what I eat or at least careless about it. Angry with my body for making everything so difficult. For setting me back at least one step for every two I take forward. I'm angry that despite doing my best to follow the (various) doctors orders for over *8 years* that I still deal with chronic, if not quite constant any more, pain--so that everything I do, from the gym to shopping to sitting on the couch typing this it hurts, at least some. I can ignore it, but it's there. And trying not to be angry with myself not so much because I'm not perfect--though if I were perfect I wouldn't have a weight problem in the first place--but because *I don't know how to fix it* By working my tail off and really paying attention to my food and water etc. I'm doing *well* to lose a half pound a week.
I know I'm getting stronger, healthier, fitter. I know that my hip is hurting me a lot less and that I'm able to do so much more than I had even a year ago, let alone two years ago. But apparently a lifestyle change and getting healthy isn't "important enough" to me.

The 22-year-old former Manchester United youth player has emerged as the first-choice shot-stopper at awd-Arena since displacing Florian Fromlowitz in January.
Zieler's form has seen him linked with a move elsewhere, but Kind wants to agree a contract extension with the ex-Northampton loanee.
Kind told spox.com: "Ron-Robert Zieler is a player of our club. No other club needs to come up to us about him. They should rather be keen on other things.
"We will not sell. We want to modify his existing deal at our club. We plan to further extend his contract."

Rule 34 for Leona/Diana please... LoL needs a lezbo pairing since we already have a gay one. *cough* Ezreal/Taric *cough*
Ask the Monkey
A tragic story of how Diana and Leona are not sisters.
Leona returned home from another champion match. Tired and exhausted, she ran into the house with her dirty boots, ruining the floor. Diana, her long lasting lover, was in the kitchen preparing a sandwich. Leona quickly walked to the table, sat in the chair and waited for the meal.
As Diana brought the sandwich, she noticed something terrifying. The floor was ruined.
A fight ensued between Leona and Diana, one which ended up with both of them being too tired to clean it up, so they left it for the morning.
In bed, Diana tried to pull Leona into at least one moment of passion, but Leona turned around and started snoring. Unable to sleep, Diana walked to the living room to clean up the mess.
There, through the window, the moon shined into the house. As Diana started cleaning up, a voice echoed through her mind:
-''Are you tired, child?''
-''Very. I worked all day and in the end get no appreciation from her.''
-''Is that so? How do you feel now?''
-''Angry, but too tired to rage.''
-''Come here child. Walk into the light.''
As the beam of light hit Diana, she gained an armor, different of the Solari. It was turned to the moon, and she became the first of the Lunari. With the new found power, she marched into the bedroom and started fighting Leona. Diana barely won and proceeded to try and convince Leona to love her again.
Leona, however, had other things on her mind.
-''Thanks for the workout, darling. You know what would be perfect now?''
-''To go into the bedroom and show me your love?''
-*subtle laugh* ''Good joke. Now, how about you make me a sandwich, and bring a beer from the fridge.''
Completely enraged, Diana pushed Leona threw the window and proceeded to run away. But she swore she would return, and bring an army of Lunari with her. She swore that they would enslave the Solari and force them to make her sandwiches for the rest of their lives!

Marvel Has No Current Plans For Hulk or Black Widow Movies
There was a lot to digest out of today's major Marvel Event that saw the formal announcement of the eight films in Phase 3 including 'Black Panther' and 'Captain Marvel' spinoffs. But, with all these Avengers getting sequels and spinoffs, one has to wonder about two of the more popular characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe who are still left without their own films: Hulk and Black Widow. Despite the fact that audiences love both the characters, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said that they have no current plans to give either character their own solo movie.

Lagaya, reading your poems has been to me a pleasure undescribable. I am impressed at your appreciation of God's love and protection. As you and I would know talent comes from above, and there is no better use for the gift of poetry then to use it for the glory of God! You are a great writer, and the best advice one poet can give to another is keep writing.

That Hamas chose to launch its massive barrage against Israel after President Obama's re-election is no coincidence. He's given it every reason to feel it can act with relative impunity.
The president's unconditional support for two of Hamas' biggest enablers in the region — Turkey and the new Muslim Brotherhood regime in Egypt — clearly have emboldened the terror group.
Since taking control of Gaza in 2006, Hamas has regularly shelled Israel. But rocket and mortar attacks against its civilians have increased each year since Obama took office.
Through Nov. 20 of this year, Hamas fired a total of 1,203 missiles and rockets, up from 156 for all of 2009, according to an unclassified Israel Defense Forces report. Through Oct. 31, meanwhile, mortar attacks more than doubled to 204.
After Obama was re-elected, the terror group intensified its bombardment of Israel, firing more than 640 rockets through last week's cease-fire.
For the first time, Hamas rockets pounded Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, not just the region next to Gaza. Not only have attacks steadily increased under Obama, they've hit distant targets inside Israeli cities.
A smaller escalation occurred last summer after Obama defied Congress and unfroze $147 million in aid to the Palestinians. Some 600,000 Gazans now receive nearly $100 million worth of USAID assistance (even though they voted into power a U.S.-designated terror group).
So? Israeli intelligence figures that as much as 45% of U.S. and other foreign aid to Gaza and the West Bank is diverted to fund terrorism and buy rockets, mainly from Iran.
The undeniable truth is, Hamas has escalated its war on Israel as this administration has increased aid and diplomatic ties to Gaza, while snubbing Israel at almost every turn.
And in a shocking switch from longstanding U.S. policy, it formally embraced Hamas' Egyptian parent, the Muslim Brotherhood.
Not coincidentally, four longer-range Fajer 5 missiles also hit Israel after Obama won re-election. Shockingly, these were Egyptian missiles launched from the Sinai.
For the first time in 30 years, Cairo has moved tanks into the desert region in violation of its Israeli peace treaty. Look for the Brotherhood regime to ultimately put the treaty to a national referendum and, once the population rejects it, declare the treaty null and void.
If this happens, remilitarizing the Sinai will be a footnote. (If you think pump prices are high now, just wait.)
If you have any doubt Obama's policies have emboldened Israel's enemies, consider this chain of events:
Cyberwar: The director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael Rogers, has warned a congressional panel that China has the capability to knock out the entire U.S. power grid. This is a first-magnitude threat.As severe as U.S. national security problems are with the militarily resurgent Russia ...
Amnesty: Now that President Obama has made the Constitution a welcome mat for illegals to wipe their feet on, Republicans can make a series of moves. This should be treated as the national emergency it is.For the president to shield up to 5 million aliens from the deportation that statute requires ...
Corruption: Smoking-gun emails show how the administration sought to derail a CBS reporter's investigation of its "gun-waking" operation — a reporter whose computers were mysteriously and mercilessly hacked.Fast and Furious, along with Benghazi, is one of the two "phony" administration ...
Lying With Statistics: In April, we doubted that the surprisingly high ObamaCare enrollment numbers could be trusted. Turns out, we were right to be skeptical. The White House had been vastly inflating the figures all along.This week, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell admitted that ...
In his immigration speech Thursday night, President Obama announced his intention to sign an executive order that "temporarily" (or until his term is over in January 2015) allows an estimated 4 million illegal aliens to remain in the U.S., he merely formalized what he was already doing. He never ...

Learn How to Transform Your App into a Quantum Paper-Like Project
Posted June 17, 2014 at 07:00 pm by Tomek Kondrat
As you may already be aware, rumor has it that Google is planning to redefine the overall UI look and feel in Android. Not too long ago, we talked about Quantum Paper, the rumored unified UI that may define Google products across all platforms. These changes may be unveiled very soon, as Google is gearing up for its I/O event next week.
If you are eager to achieve a similar effect to this rumored UI paradigm in your application, there are ways to make your own apps more Quantum Paper-like. In order to show developers how to easily achieve this, XDA Senior Member krishneelg3 outlined the process. The tools that you need, in addition to basic coding knowledge, are an Android IDE like Ec. . . READ ON »
Android Studio 0.6.1 Brings SDK Level Dialog, Improved New Project Wizard, and More
Posted June 13, 2014 at 06:30 am by Will Verduzco
Android Studio was first unveiled at last year's Google I/O conference. For the unaware, this IDE was created to streamline Android app development by bringing several key improvements over existing Eclipse-based solutions such as live code rendering across multiple layouts and much more. Ever since then, the app has received quite a few, rather significant updates. And now, it has received yet another significant addition.
Just under a week ago, we talked about two updates to Android Studio, which brought several highly requested features such as improved console messages during builds. Now, version 0.6.1 has been released, and it brings much more than you'd expect from an x.x.1 r. . . READ ON »
Tired of Users Blocking the Ads in Your App?
Posted June 11, 2014 at 03:00 am by Tomek Kondrat
Many Android developers make their livings with in-app advertisements. We know that as users, ads can be annoying, but in many cases, these are what pay the bills. Naturally, though, many end users then turn to ad blockers to bypass these ads.
If you are an app developer, you know that fighting with Ad Blockers is often a losing battle. Luckily, there is a light at the end of the tunnel for such developers. XDA Forum Member Droidspirit released an open source library that allows devs to show banners for your own products, or the products of your partners. And when Internet connectivity is not available, this library still shows banners stored within the application.

Android Studio 0.6.0 Released
Posted June 7, 2014 at 06:00 pm by Will Verduzco
The world was first introduced to Android Studio back in May of last year at Google I/O 2013. Based on Jetbrains IntelliJ, the Android Studio IDE was created to streamline the process of developing Android applications by offering features such as live code rendering across multiple device types, as well as the ability to easily add any Android API into your code immediately.
Since its release, we've seen Android Studio mature into a genuinely useful tool for app developers. The last time we talked about it was back in August of last year with its update to version 0.2.4. This version ushered in various improvements such as the ability to jump between a layout and its associated code, as we. . . READ ON »
Add RSS Functionality to Your App with a Simple Library
Posted June 7, 2014 at 11:00 am by Tomek Kondrat
Mobile devices have become replacements for full sized PCs in a variety of circumstances. Small and easily accessible, our phones are perfect companions for our daily activities. However, mobile network connections aren't always affordable, and often times, data transfer quotas prove problematic. Because of this, RSS is quite popular on mobile devices.
If you were to try to create a good RSS reader app from scratch, you'd likely find that this is a difficult task. However, XDA Forum Member shirwa decided to make things a bit easier by providing a small, but useful library to bring RSS into your app.

JDroidLib out of Beta, Brings New Package Manager and Greater Command Flexibility
Posted May 31, 2014 at 02:30 pm by Will Verduzco
We first featured XDA Senior Member Beatsleigher's JDroidLib back in December of last year, as a Java-based alternative to the C# library AndroidLib. At the time, the JDroidLib library allowed developers to install ADB and fastboot on supported platforms. Then in March of this year, JDroidLib was given a substantial overhaul as it entered its beta stage. This update brought new features such as a revamped installation procedure to fix errors, device detection, the ability to pull device information, reboot methods, and the ability to execute any type of command.
Now, JDroidLib is officially out of beta. And just like the previous two updates described above, it has gained some key n. . . READ ON »

Create Your Own Floating Apps with the Tooleap SDK
Posted April 27, 2014 at 11:30 pm by Will Verduzco
Not too long ago, we talked about Floating Calculator. And then just earlier today, we briefly covered Floating Mail. You may be wondering what ties these two apps together. Aside from the fact that both of these apps can be launched on top of your currently running app, they were both created using the Tooleap SDK by XDA Forum Member Tooleap.
The Tooleap SDK allows developers to easily create floating applications, and in doing so, make their app accessible everywhere on the device. This is done through the use of an ever present, chatheads-like floating bubble that can be repositioned. Clicking this bubble then launches a certain activity in your app from within a floating window. What makes Toole. . . READ ON »
HTC Releases Dual Lens SDK for the HTC One M8 (2014)
Posted April 16, 2014 at 04:00 pm by Will Verduzco
One of the highlights of the HTC One M8 is its new dual lens camera system. Termed "Duo Camera," this innovative system allows the device to capture depth data in addition to standard imaging data. The Duo Camera System then maps this captured distance information to each pixel taken by the main camera in order to achieve various types of effects such as depth-of-field blur ( i.e. bokeh), as well as Lytro-style refocusing effects.
Up until now, the full functionality of the Duo Camera System has only been accessible through HTC's first party camera application. Today, however, HTC opened up the Duo Camera System API for use by third party developers.

It's often difficult to critically analyze a much-beloved artist, because the tendency is to excuse irksome traits or loathsome sonic detours simply because of past greatness. So while it's tempting to give Morrissey a free pass for hauling in a children's choir for several songs on his eighth solo studio album in fact the sing-songy rug rats add to the creepy patricide vibe on the otherwise brilliant pop stomp "The Father Who Must Be Killed" ultimately their soprano nattering leaves a sour taste. Still, Morrissey has included enough sterling moments on Tormentors to redeem this misstep. Ballads are downplayed (and when present, possess vaguely electronica undertones à la Massive Attack) in favor of brisk guitar songs swelling with strings and choruses that ascend like a hot-air balloon. Although 2004's You Are the Quarry often concentrated on Moz's struggle for ethnic identity, Tormentors largely sticks to personal topics. Even the expected filler on the disc isn't embarrassingly maudlin or cheesy, making Tormentors another triumph in Morrissey's career resurgence.

Half spice cookie, half oatmeal cookie … half chocolate chip cookie. (Hmm… My math is a little fuzzy.) I just love the flavor combination here! The cookie love starts when you bite into the nice, browned edges, then through a soft and chunky strata of oats, sunflower seeds, apple bits and the occasional raisin (all from Hodgson Mill Apples & More Muesli), and every once in a while, a chocolate chip surprise. Then, just when you think you've tasted all this cookie has to offer, the chai spices come up from behind. You can feel—as much as taste—the warm, golden flavor the chai provides, rounding out all of the flavors. Like fine wine. But a cookie. Read More »

Dr. Emil Labossiere's Ratings
Get a second opinion if this is your family doctor. He used to be good, or so we thought. I guess there is a reason he is a small town doctor because in the big city he would be found out for his incompotentcy.

Dr. Labossiere delivered our first daughter in 1993, as a fill in for our other Dr. who was out of town. The best thing that ever happened! He was so nice to deal with, we immediatley switched to him. My kids called him Dr. "Bossy", not becaurse he is bossy, but because that is how they pronounced his name. I can honestly say that the only thing I miss about Williams Lake is having a good doctor. Keep up the great work!

My doc has given me insight and guidance even though I am older than him. He leads by his example in how he looks after his own.

Dr. Labossiere was our doctor while we lived in Williams Lake. He knew we only came to see him when absolutely necessary and then took us very seriously. Never have I seen such compassion in a dr as when our daughter passed away in an accident. He was there for us all the way and right away took her boyfriend on as a new patient to help us out! We are having difficulty in our new location finding someone with similar qualities. I guess we were just spoiled...by a great doctor!!

This review is from: NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band Wireless Gigabit Router (R7000)
Pros: After posting this below... "Netgear has finally been able to reproduce this problem and is working on a fix, no ETA"!

Pros: Generally like the router. Just don't expect any support.
Cons: Create a small file with a few recognizable lines.
Copy it to Readshare with what ever means you use.
Reduce the size of the original.
Copy that to Readyshare, overwriting the copy there.
Examine the Readyshare copy.

This review is from: Super Power Supply® 3 x 9dBi 2.4GHz 5GHz Dual Band WiFi RP-SMA Antenna for Routers Asus RT-AC66U RT-N66U RT-N16 RT-AC68R RT-AC68U R700 Linksys EA6900 Netgear Nighthawk R7000 TP-Link
Pros: Nothing I can find.
Cons: Length is a major pain in both my locations.
Other Thoughts: Bought 2 sets for a pair of Netgear R7000's, main wireless router/access point and media bridge. During configuration in the same room the bridge originally reported 1,100+Mb/s link rate. In the working locations; about 40ft distance, up ½ a floor, through 3 walls, one behind kitchen cabinets it reports 702Mb/s max. I was trying to see if this could be improved any (as if it was bad to begin with)! If anything it was worse with the aftermarket antennas. And a Chromebook & tablet reported identical signal strengths back to the wireless router. With considerable antenna manipulation (tilting the main disk patterns at each other) I did get it back to same as stock antennas only, and that was very touchy. Just not worth the effort & additional cost. It "seems" the replacements should help but they don't and I'm out of ideas?

1 Claim.
This invention relates to a new and improved construction of a chute for carrying away the expended clips ejected from aircraft machine guns and to a method of making the tubing which forms such a chute.
The shells used in the machine guns employed in aircraft are fed to the gun in the form of an endless belt formed by a plurality of metal clips provided with two spaced loop portions and a third loop portion, the third loop being adapted to fit between the pair of spaced loops of an adjacent clip. The shell casings of the shells or bullets fit snugly within the two spaced loops of the clips which are made of spring metal while the third loop of the adjacent clip partially surrounds the shell casing but with sufiicient clearance to permit the clip to rotate freely upon the shell casing. The shells therefore act in a manner similar to the pivot pins of a chain. When the bullets are fired from the gun, the shell casings are ejected downwardly from the gun by the force of the expanding gases resulting from the firing of the shell while the metallic clips are ejected laterally from the side of the gun by a suitable ejection device operating in timed relationship with the firing of the gun.
The above features are characteristic of the Browning machine guns that are more or less standard equipment for the United States armed forces. These Browning machine guns are mounted in many different types of airplanes and are employed both as turret guns and wing guns. When used as turret guns, the clips which are ejected laterally from the side of the gun have heretofore been permitted to pile up on the floor of the turret. When the Browning guns are used in a fixed position in an airplane wing, it has heretofore been the practice to provide a chute of relatively large cross-sectional area into the upper end of which the clips are ejected by the clip-ejecting mechanism of the gun and the lower end of which chute is suitably secured to the wing structure and passes through an aperture provided in the skin on the underside of the airplane wing. As heretofore constructed, these chutes were made many times larger in crosssectional dimension than the clips which are intended to pass through them, so that the chutes would not present any obstacle to the free passage of the metallic clips therethrough and thus permit them to fall freely by gravity through the chute and from the plane.
It has been found, however, in actual practice that when the airplane is traveling at a very high speed, such as is reached, for example, when the This application March 5,
plane is in a diveparticularly a power divethe air pressures which are built up at the lower open end of the clip chutes overcome the gravitational pull on the clip and thus not only prevent the clips from passing out of the lower open end of the chute but the pressures frequently blow or force the clips upwardly into the upper portion of the chute. As the machine guns fire with great rapidity and the expended clips are being forcibly ejected into the clip chutes in a steady, almost uninterrupted, stream, the clips frequently fill the relatively large clip chute and become tightly jammed therein, thereby rendering the machine gun inoperative and useless. When the clips do become so jammed and choke up the clip chutes, theyare wedged in the chute very tightly because of the high velocity with which the clips are ejected from the gun, and consequently a jammed expended clip chute cannot be cleared during a flight but the trouble can only be corrected after the plane has been landed.
When the clips are ejected from a turret machine gun and permitted to pile up on the floor of the turret, the pile of clips which accumulates in the turret, particularly after an extended use of the gun, seriously hampers and impedes the turret gunner.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved construction for an expended clip chute for aircraft machine guns by means of which the foregoing objections will be entirely obviated.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a clip chute so constructed and arranged not only so that no obstruction will be presented to the downward passage of the clips under the force of gravity, but so that a plurality of obstructions are presented which prevent the clips from moving upwardly in the clip chute as a result of high air pressures.
A further object is to provide a clip chute of the character described which is made of flexible material whereby the chute, when it is attached to a pivotally mounted gun such as is employed in a gun turret as distinguished from a fixed wing gun, will not interfere with the pivotal movements of the gun in either a, horizontal or vertical plane in training the gun upon a target.
Another object is to so construct the chute that the desired flexibility thereof, as above described, may also be employed, by mounting the discharge or outlet end of the chute loosely, to cause the vibratory movements produced by the engines and propellers of the plane to impart a continuous shaking action to the chute which facilitates the diagrammatic view assent free passage, and prevents any jamming, of the clips within the chute.
A further object of the invention is to provide a clip chute of the character described with a new and improved attachment fixture or. bracket by means of which the chute may be quickly and readily attached to a standard machine gun, and to so construct said fixture or bracket that the inner wearing surfaces thereof against which the clips are forcibly ejected by the clip-eject-.
ing mechanism of the gun may be readily given a hard, wear-resistant coating. or plating of. a
suitable metal, such as chromium, that will insure a relatively long period of longevity.
Another object is to provide a clip chute of the character described of comparatively simple and inexpensive construction, of comparatively light weight, yet withal of very sturdy construe tion capable of withstandin the rough usage of combat conditions.
Still another. object of the invention is to provide a clipchute capable of handling a column of spaced clips as such column is ejected by a machine gun. In handling .such column, the clip 'c'huteprevents the individual clips in the column from becoming laterally displaced with respect to one another by a distance greater than somewhat less than the width .of a single clip. Under such circumstances, the vclips maybe blown back by the mouth of the clip chute or may otherwise beslowed down in their movement in the column by the inertiaofthe column due, to the inertia.
of each succeeding clip and will maintain a continuous movement of the clips through the clip chute from which they. will be discharged into the atmosphere.
Other and further objects oithe invention will be apparent by. reference to. the accompanying drawings of which there aretwo sheets, which, by way of illustration...show preferred embodiments and the principles thereof and. what I now consider to be the. best mode which I have contemplated applying. these principles.
Other embodiments of the invention embodying the same or equivalent principlesmay be used and structural changes may be made as desired by. those skilled .in .the art without departing from the present invention and the purview of the appended claim. I also contemplate that of the several different features. of my invention, Q
certain ones thereof may be advanta'geously employed in some applications separate and apart from the remainder of. the features.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a somewhat diagrammatic view of an airplane turret equipped with a pivotally mounted machine gun and showing an expended clip chute constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention attached to the gun and leading to a suitabl'e'aperture provided in the floor of the turret through which the expended clips are ejected;
Fig. .2 of the drawings isa similar somewhat in vertical cross-section throughan airplane wing showing a fixed machine gun mounted therein and having a clip chute attached thereto;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged side elevation of the midgstantially-on the lines 6-6, 'l1 and 8-8 of Fig. 9 is a sectional detail taken substantially on the line 9-9 of Fig. 8;
Fig. 10 is an enlarged sectional detail of that portion of the clip chute shown in Fig. 8 and enclosed within the area of the dot-and-dash line H];
Figs; 11 and 12 are views in side elevation of a construction of the flexible clip chute in which the exterior sitle walls thereof have secured to them -a plurality of guide rods or wires which serve to prevent malalignment of adjacent convolutions of the chute as a result of the flexing or curving of the chute.
In Fig. 1 of the drawings there is shown a cross-sectional view of a gun turret such'as is employed in combat airplanes and equipped with what might be termed a 'dirigible machine gun by which is meant a gun that is pivotally mounted to be trained by the'gunner upon a target. The constructional details of the turret or gun mounting and likewise of the machine gun per se form no part of the present invention. It wil1 be sufiicient tonote that the turret consists'ofa base mounted for rotation about the vertical central axis'of the turret upon a suitable supporting structure indicated by the reference character H. The'machine gun I is pivotally mounted as at I3 upon any suitable support, suchas Id.
In Fig. 2 of the drawings the machine gun l5a is shown as fixedly secured by the brackets l6 and I! in a wing [8 of an airplane. The machine guns I5 and 15a shown in Figs. 1 and-2 are provided respectively with expended clip chutes constructed in accordance with theprinciples of the present invention which are indicated generally by the reference characters a and 26b. The construction of the'clip chute and of the means for attaching it to the machine gun can best be understood generally by reference to Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawings, 'whereinis'shown that portion of a standard machine gun in which the cartridge clip-ejecting means is housed. As shown in these figures, the machine gun has secured to the side faces thereof bracket members 2 I, which are provided with a plurality'of laterally projecting aperportion of a machine gun showing the improved tured lugs 22 in which is received a pin 23 adapted to be readily withdrawn from or inserted into the apertured lugs 22, and which serves for attaching to the gun an expended clip-ejecting chute through which areejected the metallic clips that are employed for securing the shells fed to the gun in an endless belt as hereinbefore described.
Fig. 3 shows a clip chute of the present invention which consists ofthe main chute portion indicated generally by the reference character 20 attached to the gun by means of a fixture or bracket indicated generally by the reference character 30.
As will appear from an inspection of the drawhugs, and particularly Figs. 5 to 10, inclusive, the chute 20 is preferably formed of a strip 26 of thin spring sheet metal. This strip is also preferably formed so that the lower longitudinally extending section 2611. of the strip is offset inwardly from the upper longitudinally extending section 28b thereof, as shown best in Fig. 9 of the drawings; an operation which can be readily performed by rolling a plain fiat strip of material. Between the offset sections are shoulders 26c, likewise extending longitudinally of the strip. After the fiat strip of material has been rolled or otherwise fabricated to provide the ofiset portions 26a, 26b, and the shoulders 260, the strip is then spirally wound upon a mandrel of generally rectangular cross-section so as to form the convolutions indicated in Fig. 9 in which the portion 26b of each convolution fits neatly about the smaller offset portion 26a of an adjacent turn or convolution of the spiral. During the winding of the strip, it is necessary to tension the strip in order to stretch the outer section 2% around the corners of the mandrel so as to continue the shoulder 26c around such mandrel corners and so that the length of the outer sections 26b will be longer and fit over the inner sections 2611.
The winding of the strip upon a rectangular mandrel forms the chute 20 into a hollow, substantially continuous tube of rectangular crosssection as indicated in Fig. 8 of the drawings through the interior of which the expended clips C are adapted to pass.
Suitably secured to the upper end of the spirally wound spring steel chute 20 is an attachment fixture 21 formed of heavier sheet metal and of generally U-shaped configuration, the fixture 21 having a plurality of downwardly extending lugs 21a which are preferably brazed or otherwise suitably secured to the helical tube 20. The side legs 21b of the fixture 21 are provided with keyholeshaped slots or apertures, in the circular portion 210 of which is adapted to be received the threaded studs 28 which project laterally from washers 21d brazed or otherwise secured to the opposite sides of the attachment bracket 30 presently to be more fully described, the open ended straight portions 21d of the keyhole slots being provided for facility in quickly assembling the chute 20 to the attachment bracket 30. In order to more firmly secure the chute 20 to the attachment bracket 30 and prevent movement thereof, a washer 3| is placed over each of the studs 28 and said washer is provided with an inwardly extending circular boss 3la which fits snugly within the circular portion 210 of the keyhole slot; said washer is also provided with a laterally extending tongue 3lb which fits neatly within the straight portion 21d of the keyhole slot. Nuts 32 are threaded upon the studs 28 to clamp the U-shaped attachment fixture 21 securelyto the attachment bracket 30.
The bracket or fixture 30 is in the form of an L shape which serves to direct the expended clips that are ejected laterally from the side of the machine gun in a horizontal direction, downwardly into the clip chute 20. The horizontal portion of the bracket is formed by two laterally projecting side walls or legs 30a. and 30b (see Fig. 7) which are suitably formed at theirupper ends to engage with cooperating parts formed in the machine gun for engagement by the legs 30a and 30b of the attachment fixture to locate it properly in position with respect to the clip-ejecting mechanism of the gun. In addition to the side walls 30a, 3%, the fixture 30 is also provided with a top wall 300 and a bottom wall 300. which in cooperation with the side walls 30a. and 3012- form an open rectangular guideway or chute through which the clips pass in a horizontal direction. Intermediate the ends of the walls 30a to 30d, inclusive, the fixture is curved as indicated at 30c to direct the expended clips downwardly into the vertical leg portion of the L-shaped fixture. This vertical leg portion is formed by a U-shaped fixture. This vertical leg portion formed by a U-shaped section 30 (see Fig. 6) the side walls 309 of which have formed at their extremities the laterally extending flanges 3011.. The back cover plate 302' has its side edges bent around as indicated at 309' so that the back cover plate em may be slidably and detachably mounted upon the main fixture, the lower wall 30d of the chute as above described being formed integral with the back plate 301. The purpose of mounting the back cover plate slidably and detachably upon the main fixtur is to enable the inner face of the lower vertical wall portion 30k of the wall 30c of the fixture 30 to be exposed for plating the wall of the attachment fixture 30 with a hard, wearresistant coating of suitable metal, such as chromium. If the attachment fixture were made of a single piece of metal, the inner surface of the wall 3074: of the attachment fixture could not be plated as. the plating could not be effectively thrownas the expression is used in the plating art-down into the inside of a closed chute.
As the flexing of the spirally-wound fiat steel strip portion 20 of the chute tends to slip the outer ofiiset or enlarged sections 2612 of an adjacent convolution out of engagement with the cooperating inner offset section 2611 of the adjacent convolution and thereby result not only in misalignment of the tube convolutions and also to result in gaps or openings between adjacent convolutions, means are provided to prevent undue lateral movement between adjacent convolutions, to hold the convolutions in proper alignment, and to bridge any gaps which might be caused by flexing the tube. Such means comprises the rods 35 which as shown in Figs. 11 and 12 are secured in staggered, overlapping relationship upon all four sides of the chute 20. Each rod 35 is provided at one end thereof with an inwardly bent enlarged head 35a which is brazed, welded or otherwise suitably fixedly secured to one of the convolutions of the chute. The other end of each rod is provided with an enlarged head 35b. Each rod 35 passes slidably through an eye 36 which is also fixedly secured to a convolution of the chute and serves as a lmiting stop against which the enlarged head 35b engages, as shown more clearly in Fig. 12 of the drawing. The rods 35 thus serve to limit the opening movement of the adjacent convolutions and thereby prevent misalignment thereof as hereinbefore described.
The manner in which the parts heretofore described are fabricated is as follows: The fabrication and formation of the chute portion has already been fully described. After the chute has been formed into the rectangular convoluted form, the rods 35 are attached and spaced in overlapping, staggered relationship, as indicated in Fig. 11. After the fixture 30 has been formed into the desired shape with the projecting legs 30a, 30b and 300 and also with the flanges 30h at the extremities of the walls 300. and 30b, the fixture is placed in a suitable electro-plating bath and a coating of wear resistant metal is placed thereon. The back plate 301 of the fixture is also similarly plated after which the back plate 302' is slid upon the flanges 30h and in a position such that the leg 30d of the plate will occupy a position such as is shown in Fig. '7. The chute 20 to which the attachment fixture 21 has been suitably secured, as by brazing is then slid over the lower end of the fixture 30, the open ends of the shtraight portions 21d of the keyhole slots being slid over the studs 28. The washers 3! are then placed over the studs'and the nuts 32 threaded onto the-bolts and tightened thereon to hold the chutefirmlyattac'hed to the fixture 30. The dimension of the chute relative to thelower end of the-fixtureSfl is such that when the chute has beensecured to the attachment fixture Silthe upper endof the chute engages with the slidable backplate 392' of the fixture and holds it against downward movement 'andsecurely in proper position.
The first clip i chutes constructed in accordance withthe foregoing principles were made of. strip steel approximately three-quarters of an inchin width andwhile these provedquite satisfactory in practice, hcwever, it was'found that when the chute was flexed beyond a certain amount it was desirable. to .eznplcy the rods 35 toprevent-adjacent convcluticns or the spirally wound strip from shifting laterally out of proper alignment. The use of .thethree-quarters of an inch wide strip coupled-with the rods 3:? resulted in impressing to'- great limitation upon theextent to which the chutecould be fiexedand consequently-a further improved construction was.deveioped. This improvedand preferred construction is best illustratedin Figs. 3, 8 and :10 of the drawing. .It consistsin emplcyinga much narrower strip of flat-steel for forming the chute, .the width of such steelbeing of theorder. of approximately three-eighths of an inch in width. After the tube has been fabricated by winding the narrower strip'upon a square mandrel; it being understood that before winding the strip/it is offset as indicated at ZEa'and 26b in FigmQ of. the, drawing, there is bonded to the two narrow side twalls of the tube a continuous strip ofcrubberor other suitable flexible material Ml,
asindicated in Figs. 3, 8 and 10 of the drawing. Therubber of the bands is bonded to the metal ofeach convolution of the strip by sulphurization and-heat treatment until the surfaceto be applied tozthe metalis softened sufficiently so that it may be. applied to the metal andfirmlypressed into contact therewith so that upon coolingit is so firmly united tothe metal that it is practically impossible for it to be detached therefrom.- Itwillbe apparent thatthe-bands may be adhesively securedto the tube convolutions in any other manner which-it maybe .desired to employ. By reason of the use of the narrower strip steelmaterial forming the convoluted tube andalso, because of the securing of the; strip-of. flexible rubber .40 .to 'theconvolutions thereof, the flexible properties of the tube or ohuteqare somewhat diiierent. The use of the narrower. metal permitsthe tube to be bent or curved ona radius of much smaller curvature than is :possible when the wider strip material is used as willb'e readily apparent.- Thesubstitution of.- the strips ofv flexible rubber lilalongthe two sides. of the tube changes the limiting factors which areimpressed upon the structure when the slidable'metal rods are employed, the rubber strips functioning .to preventmisali'gnment of the adjacent-convolutions when the 'tubeis bentor 'fieXedthrough a bend of very sharp or short curvature and holding the edges of .the adjacent convolutions in accurate alignment with each.other.,
It will also be apparent that it will be much more diiiicult to bend the tube.byexpandingandcontracting the sidesof the tube to which the bands '4ll-gare attachedthan it willzbe to-bend the tube at 90 degrees withrespect to-the bands. .The-stretchtary' assembly which can be. readily attached to the side of the machinegum-the legs Maand 30b being entered into the suitable slots.- provided in the bracket 2| on-the-side of. the .gun for. engage.- ment with-the cooperating parts formed in the gun.
