Your Excellency,
I cordially welcome you to the Vatican, and not for the first time as I have had several opportunities to do so in the past when you came here as Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland's Government and later, as a member of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences. Today, however, I greet you in a special way. Indeed, you come as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland to the Apostolic See, to present the Letters from the President that accredit you to this office. I gladly accept them, and offer you my best wishes that your service as intermediary between Poland and the Holy See may be effective and fruitful, and give you satisfaction and joy.
However, it seems that in the world's complex political situation Poland is finding its own way to develop the State. Independently of the sequence of events in the world and despite the ups and downs, since 1989, we have seen constant progress in the process of putting our regained freedom into practice. There are obviously plenty of problems; but we cannot overlook the great achievements in the work of building a sovereign State, a State of rights and a State of prosperity, of the Governments that have succeeded one another and of society as a whole. All that we have managed to achieve in the field of political freedom, religious freedom and the democratization of social life should be emhasized here.
I follow all the news from our country carefully. I am delighted that its process of economic development is continuing smoothly. However, at the same time, I am acutely aware of the neediness of many individuals and of numerous families who turn to the Pope for aid and for spiritual and material support. Many of them are painfully affected by the phenomenon of unemployment, the lack of openings for their talents, education and energy in building a future that measures up to their needs and wishes. I am confident that the general development of public life in Poland will open for all citizens new prospects and ample opportunities to build a dignified and happy future.
At the presentation of his Letters of Credence of His Excellency Mr Stefan Frakiewicz on 11 July 1995, I said to him that the Church desires neither privileges nor a special place for herself. All she wants is to have the proper conditions in which to carry out her spiritual mission. Today I can say more. I can point out that in fulfilling this mission the Church is willing and able to continue the work of consolidation and formation of the spiritual, cultural and social inheritance of a nation that for 1,000 years has been linked to the values inherent in Christianity. The signing of the Concordat in 1993, and its ensuing ratification created the conditions for the Church to work actively for the good of the nation. Despite the opinion of sceptics, it has proved possible to see that this Concordat has not only helped to improve cooperation between the Church and State institutions by making more room for the freedom of individuals and of society, but that it has been a key to ecumenism, with regard to other Churches and denominational communities in Poland.
Poland is still facing enormous challenges that are vital for society, today and in the future. I nourish the hope that the Church and the State, whilst preserving their autonomy and specific tasks, will set out to undertake these tasks together and in agreement. I never cease to pray God that these joint efforts may have the expected results, for every Pole and for the whole nation.
I ask you, Madam Ambassador, kindly to convey my cordial greetings to the President and Government of the Republic of Poland. In conformity with St Paul's instructions, I pray that the decisions and actions of all who are responsiblie for the constitutional structure of the Republic and its place on the European scene and that of the world, may be dictated by the deepest concern for its good, and that they may constantly work for this good.
Madam Ambassador, I once again express the hope that your mission as intermediary between the Republic of Poland and the Apostolic See may bring you joy and satisfaction and serve the common good of all the sons and daughters of our beloved country.

Little Big Town Covers Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"
Little Big Town is coming to the 1-800-Ask Gary amphitheater in Tampa on October 16th, they will be in town with the Eli Young Band, Edens Edge, & Rascal Flatts, the name of the tour is "The American Band" Tour.
Today they called from Nashville to talk about their new song called, "Pontoon."
The interview started by talking about their cover of Lady Gaga's song, "Born This Way," the video was shot in a school hallway, they discuss how they came about redoing the song, they said they were on tour with Eric Church and thought hey lets cover some non-country song, the video only took one take to shoot, you can find the video on their YouTube channel.
Their 5th album is done and looks like it will be out the 2nd or 3rd week of September, they say they just got to see the edited version of the video for their new song, "Pontoon," last night and you can be sure to see some skin. Karen says their fashion is kinda like St. Barts meets hilbilly fashion, in the video you will see some short shots.
Little Big Town has teamed up with the producer that Eric Church has, his name is Jay Joyce, he also produced the Walflowers, they tell us he kinda looks like the young Mickey Rourke.

by Jill Weisenberger, MS RDN CDE FAND
Nuts are a terrific snack or addition to a meal for children and adults with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Not only are they delicious and satisfying, they provide a mighty nutritional punch in a small package, says Malena Perdomo, MS, RD, CDE. Nuts give us antioxidants, magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin E, fiber, protein, heart-healthy fats and more!
"Nuts contain a nice balance of protein and fat," says Perdomo. By combining nuts with a high-carbohydrate food like cereal, bread or fruit, you can expect lower blood glucose readings after eating than if you or your child ate the high-carb food alone. For example, explains Perdomo, when individuals with type 2 diabetes ate an ounce of mixed nuts with white bread as part of a research study, their blood glucose after eating was lower than when they ate the bread alone. A similar study among healthy adults showed that eating pistachios with rice or pasta also limited the rise in blood glucose readings after eating.
Love nuts for their magnesium content too. Among its many roles, this mineral may affect the release and activity of insulin, the hormone that helps control blood glucose levels. Interestingly, many people with type 2 diabetes have low blood levels of magnesium. and according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, magnesium is one of the under-consumed nutrients. Other good sources of magnesium are whole grains, beans and spinach.
There are so many ways to please the taste buds and nourish the body with nuts at snack time. Along with their unique tastes, nuts each have a unique nutrient profile. And when you pair them with other nutrient-dense foods, you're getting a super dose of good-for-you nutrition. Toss chopped pistachios and diced peaches into yogurt. Offer your kids a half a peanut butter and banana sandwich made with whole grain bread. Mix walnuts with dried tart cherries for a simple trail mix, or spread almond butter on sliced apple. Your kids will have fun learning the names and identifying the distinct tastes of a variety of nuts. Put out a small bowl with pistachios, almonds, cashews, peanuts, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts and more. Enjoy!
Even though nuts are high in fat, they can be an important part of a weight reduction program. Some studies suggest that frequent nut eaters are leaner than those who eat nuts infrequently. Why? One theory is that nuts are satisfying and suppress hunger, leading to less food intake overall. That's what researchers in a Texas middle school found. When they replaced the students' usual snack with a daily snack of 1 ounce of peanuts or 3/4 ounce of peanut butter with vegetables for dipping, the kids' diets improved and they lost weight. Nuts in their shell may offer another advantage: cracking the shell makes the snack last longer, presumably increasing satisfaction.
Don't assume that because a little is good, a lot is better, however. The middle school students were given a single serving of nuts or nut butter. Too much will likely lead to weight gain. Nuts are about 160-200 calories per ounce, so "we need to be mindful of the portion sizes we consume," urges California-based registered dietitian Jill Nowak-Przygodzk, RD, CDE. Have your kids stick to about 1-1 1/2 ounces per day.
But there's one caveat: for children under the age of four, nuts may be a choking hazard unless they are finely chopped.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Khoza, Dineo email@example.com URN etd-04102007-185634 Document Title Topology optimization of plate-like structures Degree Master of Engineering Department Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof A A Groenwold Keywords
- plates (Engineering) shells (Engineering)
- finite element method
- topology.
- Structural optimization
Date 2006-04-26 Availability unrestricted Abstract
This thesis deals with the topology optimization of plate and shell structures. The shell structures are modeled as plate-like at facets.
Firstly, the formulation of the topology optimization problem is presented in an introductory chapter, which introduces two frequently used topology optimization algorithms (being the optimality criterion and the method of moving asymptotes). Examples of applications are shown, and filtering schemes are introduced.
Secondly, the derivation of the finite element formulation and interpolation of plates is presented. Both a shear rigid Kirchoff plate element and a shear flexible Mindlin element are considered. The latter element uses substitute shear strains to overcome locking; hence reduced integration is not necessary, as is normally required when shear flexible plate elements are used in topology optimization. The effect of both element formulations on optimal topology is then illustrated. The results reveal the notable effect of through thickness shear on optimal topolog.
Thirdly, a at shell element is constructed by combining the plate elements with a membrane element with drilling degrees of freedom. (The membrane is not discussed in any detail.) To illustrate the topology optimization of shell structures, the so-called Scordelis-Lo roof is then selected as an example problem. The analysis includes an assessment of the effect of eccentric stiffeners or ribs on optimum topology.

Persistent Notifications in Android 4.3, problem or solution?
Android 4.3 is already reaching a Nexus users, and eventually the manufacturers will make use of it for implement it on their devices. Despite being a minor update, system developments less obvious to the end user are many, and we are gradually discovering details on these.
One concern among the new features of Android 4.3 is the possibility that persistent notifications employ applications , is ie a type of notifications in the bar dedicated to this end that we could not remove, they are there forever. This apparently is a problem that has proved to be the solution to a more complicated. . The original problem is the abuse of certain developers using the API Service.startForeground () that allows impossible closing the application by the user . That is, the application is always running, and we can not know
Google going to fix this by detecting malicious what applications make use of this API and closing the application in question, but many applications have been detected that are cashing is not a viable solution.
So has resorted to persistent notifications , causing the system to display their own notifications when it detects that this happens. Thus now I see the notifications of applications that are taking advantage and abusing this new feature of Android 4.3, and we can not eliminate them. The idea is that by failing to eliminate them, the user will notice that the application is not good and uninstalled . Furthermore, the notification now appear, misses the point for the developer, therefore will be forced to update their app eliminating this feature. . It's funny how what at first had seemed a problem of Android 4.3 has ended up becoming a very interesting solution that hopefully works and Android 4.3 for when a major bulk of users completely gone.

Updated: July 8, 2014 6:15AM
ELMONT, N.Y. — California Chrome already is a giant, in reputation and in stature.
One Belmont Stakes victory Saturday from capturing the first Triple Crown since 1978, the horse has gained 30 pounds of muscle — having "not missed an oat," assistant trainer Alan Sherman said — during his magical five-week run.
On North America's longest dirt track, though, he seems so small.
"Your horse looks like an ant on the other end of the track," Sherman said.
California Chrome "acclimated better than I did" this week, Sherman said, to the 1 ½-mile track locals call "The Big Sandy:"
Still, there's plenty of room — 12 agonizing furlongs — for things to go wrong Saturday.
Lord knows they have before.
Since Affirmed won the last Triple Crown 36 years ago, 12 horses have won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes.
None has won the Belmont.
Co-owned by Chicago natives Perry and Denise Martin, California Chrome avoided the fate of the most recent contender simply by making it through Friday's workout.
In 2012, I'll Have Another was scratched the afternoon before the race with left leg tendinitis.
Sherman said California Chrome was "outstanding" during a 2-mile gallop at 6 am. Friday.
"Nothing seems to bother him," Sherman said of the horse. "He's pretty cool."
He'll have to be, if he wants to gallop past the ghosts of the last dozen Triple Crown contenders.
It was at the finish line here where, in 1998, Real Quiet lost by a nose, the nearest miss in sports' most elusive title chase.
A furlong from the finish, Smarty Jones — a horse as beloved as California Chrome — was caught from behind, finishing second in 2004. The winning owner apologized for costing him history.
Misfortune has stalked every turn.
In 1999, Charismatic broke his left foreleg down the stretch; after he finished third, his jockey jumped off him and held his leg until doctors arrived.
Twenty years earlier, Spectacular Bid finished third after, his trainer said, a safety pin jammed one inch deep into his hoof the morning of the race.
In 2002, War Emblem stumbled out of the gate — almost falling to his knees — and finished eighth.
His jockey that day, Victor Espinoza, will ride California Chrome in the $1.5 million Grade I race.
"I don't think about the past," Espinoza said curtly. "I think about the future."
And that looks bright for California Chrome, a 3-5 morning-line favorite despite 36 years of warning otherwise.
With their horse starting from the No. 2 post position, California Chrome's handlers would prefer he let another runner take an early lead, giving him someone to stalk.
Sherman said there's "not a lot of speed in the race, on paper."
As the fastest horse in the race, California Chrome — who will wear a nasal strip, as did his the first two legs of the Triple Crown — must avoid being boxed in by slower goers.
"He's got a target on his back," Sherman said. "They'll be going after him. If Chrome moves, they're gonna move right with him. Nothing's going to come easy."
California Chrome's camp is most concerned with two opponents: Ride On Curlin (12-1), who was the runner-up in the Preakness, and new shooter Tonalist (8-1), who won the Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont.
Wicked Strong (6-1), whose trainer is based at Belmont, finished fourth at the Kentucky Derby, but skipped the Preakness to rest.
None, though, has the opportunity of California Chrome, who can make — and buck — history.
"I don't know how to describe it," co-owner Steve Coburn said. "It's been a long journey."
The longest leg begins at post time.

The "well phone" is tech's latest baby, and now a bimbo nanny has moved in
Oh great: Yesterday, the Food and Drug Administration will officially begin regulating some cell phone apps as medical devices. This would be welcome news, if the FDA hadn't shown itself to be totally incompetent. And these are apps, the federal agency admits, that pose "moderate" or "high" risks to users. WTF? Could the woman pictured above, who just pounded her baby with sonar, have caused some harm? Who knows?
In three previous blog posts, we have documented the appalling failure of the FDA's approval process for medical devices that multibillion-dollar multinational corporations spent years developing. Time after time, despite a protocol that requires extensive clinical trials and "documentation" by these profit-crazy firms, the devices that the FDA has enshrined as "safe and effective" have proven to be unsafe and ineffective. Its "overworked and overextended" staff has a similarly dismal record in its drug-approval charade.That's why we have all those warning letters, recalls and class-action lawsuits: The FDA is a big-time bungler.
Now they're going to "clear" cell phone apps, with no studies or authentication? Fasten your seatbelts.
[3] Predominant symptoms of app overload: Dizziness. And blurriness.
For years, without fanfare, cell-phone apps have been using "built-in features such as light, vibrations, camera, and similar sources to perform medical device functions (e.g., apps that could be used by a licensed practitioner to diagnose or treat a disease)," the FDA acknowledges.
Yikes! Who knew?
There are both moderate-risk (Class II) and high-risk (Class III) mobile medical apps, the FDA says.
Will someone please tell us which ones are HIGH RISK?? Does it seem CRAZY to anyone but me that we are placing HIGH RISK medical devices in the hands of any customer of any age, without proper education or monitoring?
What could some smart young hacker do with a HIGH RISK medical app?
Are we at risk only if we own the phone and we're doing something, knowingly, to ourselves? Or can someone with a "high-risk" app endanger our health somehow -- by targeting another person's pacemaker, for example, or shooting some kind of waves or rays in our direction?
The agency has cleared about 100 mobile medical applications over the past decade, with about 40 of those cleared in the past two years, according to the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/24/health/fda-to-regulate-only-some-health-apps.html?_r=0 [4]). They include ultrasound imaging systems, real-time ECG monitors and arrhythmia detectors, multi-gas monitors (?), remote patient monitoring, various blood pressure and blood glucose aids, "ingestion monitoring systems," vestibular analysis, body guardian systems and "asthmapolis systems."
This deluge cries out for oversight, but it also cries out, "Mission Impossible!"
Before you know it, we'll be able to press a phone to each temple and give ourselves electroshock treatments. What a cuckoo's nest that will be, courtesy of free enterprise and the U.S. government.
[6] Oh, what a relief it is!
The agency uses brisk, confident language in explaining its purview:
"The FDA is taking a tailored, risk-based approach that focuses on the small subset of mobile apps that meet the regulatory definition of 'device' and that are intended to be used as an accessory to a regulated medical device, or transform a mobile platform into a regulated medical device," it states on its web site. "Our focus (is) only on the apps that present a greater risk to patients if they don't work as intended and on apps that cause smartphones or other mobile platforms to impact the functionality or performance of traditional medical devices" (italics mine).
[9] An EGC is an ECG, even if it's in your phone, the FDA says.
"Risk-based approach" is such a nice way of putting it. How risky is too risky? How many malfunctions, injuries and deaths are acceptable? The FDA hasn't gotten that straight when it comes to big-time devices and drugs, so one has to wonder how well they'll manage the apps issue. The agency's focus is "only on the apps that present a greater risk to patients if they don't work as intended." Greater than what? Than not having a phone at all, and walking around with both hands free, like people did not so long ago? And where were we -- and the medical establishment -- when these bright, charming apps starting popping up and "impacting the functionality" of the medical machinery we've come to rely upon?
Unfortunately, the appearance of these applications on the market wasn't a plan that unfolded in an orderly way, under the supervision of medical personnel.
It was an explosion of wild-and-crazy, scattered, unfettered entrepreneurship -- which can be quite interesting if your life isn't at stake -- that flooded the globe with these intriguing and empowering products. Nobody said "buyer beware." They just said, "BUY."
Mobile apps span a wide range of health functions. "The FDA will apply the same risk-based approach the agency uses to assure safety and effectiveness for other medical devices," its site explains. That is about the most disturbing remark this hapless agency could possibly make.
Since the agency has cleared quite a few apps already, it is difficult to discern what has changed, starting today, except that we finally are being informed about the seriousness of this issue. None of the apps that the FDA has already cleared was required to go through "costly regulatory hurdles like clinical trials," the Times article noted.
And yet, they pose "moderate" to "high" risk. Isn't there something incongruous about this?
The newly announced FDA program will liberate the market even more, according to Dr. Joseph M. Smith, chief medical and science officer at West Health Institute. "This is very welcome news for the innovator and investment community," he said.
Brace yourselves, health-care consumers. Fools will be rushing in, right along with the guys who know what they're doing.
And, as "medical devices," the apps presumably will be under the umbrella of the federal "doctrine of pre-emption," which protects them from legal liability if they injure, disable or kill a user.
The HealthCare Informatics site studied the FDA's process of assessing cell-phone medical apps, noting that it is only advisory -- "not a full regulatory process." The site discovered that only a small minority of the apps claims to have had a medical professional involved in the development of its product. And it found that deceptive language is widespread in the marketing of these apps. This is typical of how the imprimatur of the FDA is abused by profiteers, without penalty.
"The increased accessibility of apps has obvious benefits, but there are concerns about the accuracy of content in medical apps, especially considering the low level of medical professional involvement," HealthCare Informatics added. "Also, potential app users cannot determine the accuracy of the program's content prior to purchase."
"App stores do provide short descriptions written by the developers, as well as customer ratings and comments, and a selection of screen shots, but most (61 percent) of the apps in the study didn't have ratings," the researchers noted. "Also, 69 percent of those rated were based on fewer than 10 ratings, reducing the reliability of the customer feedback."
The HealthCare Informatics study concluded, "Expert medical input in the development of medical apps may improve reliability, and this input should be clearly stated in the advertising material to allow potential users to make an informed assessment of an apps reliability prior to purchase."
Thank you, Europe, for providing the only serious, science-based examination of our glorious federal process for protecting the health and safety of the American public!
For the time being, you have to wonder if that vibration in your pocket means you've got mail, or you're headed into a diabetic coma. And did you know that if you've got wrinkles (and don't we all?) there's an app for that? (Uh oh, it can remove hair, too. So when someone says "You never know where that phone has been," you know what he means.)
[13] We're blurring too many lines!!!!
The trusty little e-cig, covered by a special "condom," could peek up your nose, down your throat, and into your ears, and then transmit the photos and chemical data to the clinic. The light on the tip would provide very nice -- even flattering -- illumination. One hesitates to mention this, but the cig could even provide a pelvic exam -- in the privacy of our own homes, thank god -- and gather data on the health of our intestinal ecosystems. I'm not trying to gross you out! I just think our e-cigs should take some of the pressure off our phones, those poor workhorses!
But just today (when it rains, it pours) 40 state attorneys general petitioned the FDA to start regulating e-cigarettes. Of course, it needs desperately to be done. But the FDA can't do everything. I'm not sure it can do anything.
We shouldn't allow our cell phones to do everything, either. Let's be reasonable! And careful! Too often, as history has taught us so many times, a jack of all trades is a master of none.

the role of state government in private forestry has historically been nonintrusive. With 90 percent of all forestland in private ownership, the attitude regarding government intervention in private property matters has been traditionally conservative. Many attribute the success of the intensive management of the southern pine forests as evidence of the forestry community's ability to effectively use nonregulatory programs to provide a range of forest-based benefits (Ellefson et al. 1995).
The first major state efforts to regulate the forestry practices of private landowners occurred in the 1930s and 1940s with the establishment of seed-tree laws, all of which have been repealed and replaced with more modern regulatory programs (Ellefson and Cubbage 1980). Fostered by heightened social and political concern over natural environments, the second generation of forest practice(s) regulatory programs arose during the 1960s and 1970s. Between 1971 and 1974, California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington became the first states to establish comprehensive forest practice(s) regulatory laws. Alaska and New Mexico followed suit in 1978. In 1982, Massachusetts's legislative assembly substantially expanded the regulatory authority granted by the state's Forest Cutting Practices Act (Henly and Ellefson 1986). Maine enacted a comprehensive forest practice(s) law in 1989, as did Connecticut in 1991. No southern or midwestern state has adopted a comprehensive forest practice(s) regulatory law.
Since the mid-1980s, a third generation of forest practice(s) regulatory laws and programs has evolved. In some states (for example, California and Washington), these laws and programs are concerned with the long-term, cumulative effects of forest practice(s) on the sustainability, productivity, and biological diversity of forest ecosystems. In other states (for example, Florida, Maryland, Montana, and Virginia), forestry practice is only one component of a broader state regulatory system that is designed to reduce nonpoint sources of water pollution from agricultural, forested, and urban areas or to promote natural resource conservation generally. In many states (for example, Georgia), forest practice(s) regulatory laws are a statewide mosaic of rules and ordinances promulgated by local units of government.
Regional differences in the rate of application of forest practice(s) regulatory programs help explain the programs' national presence (Table A-27). These programs comprise the smallest share of regional regulatory programs in the Mid-Continent (2 percent), Great Plains (2 percent), Southeast (4 percent), and South Central (5 percent), and the largest share in the Northeast (17 percent) and the West (29 percent) regions. In the western states, the large forest industry, the rugged topography, and a politically energetic public have spurred the development

Success for road safety campaign
Published on 17 February 2011
The "Kill your speed, not your girlfriend" road safety campaign has successfully targeted motorists and passengers aged 17-24 years across the borough this week.
Telford & Wrekin Council Road Safety Team visited sixth forms and colleges across the borough from 14 18 February, warning young men to keep their Valentines safe by driving carefully.
Highlights from the road show included the 'Pass Plus Extra' scheme, a course that new drivers can take to become better drivers and the 'Take Control' scheme, a rider skills course for motorbike and moped drivers with messages being well received by students.
In Telford and Wrekin, West Mercia Safer Roads Partnership figures show, on average, 17-24 year-old age group account for 32% of all people killed or seriously injured on Telford and Wrekins roads. Nationally, male drivers aged 17 24 are three times as likely to be killed or seriously injured as a female driver.
Cllr Adrian Lawrence, Cabinet Member for the Environment, said: "Sadly young drivers are hugely over represented in collision and traffic accidents and female drivers are more likely to be killed as a passenger in the car of a young male driver.
"The 'Kill your speed, not your girlfriend' has visited colleges across the borough this week and the messages about safer driving seem to have been well received by students with a number interested in taking up the Pass Plus Extra and Take Control course. Hopefully this campaign will go someway to making drivers think twice about driving carefully."
The road show visited students at TCAT, Harper Adams College and New College and included display boards, road safety films and information about speeding, being a safe passenger and post-driver training.

Hello all.
Thank you so much for your replies to my last blog about whether I should have a ticker, and if so, what I should do with it. I appreciate all of the comments and the support!
It's taken me a while, but I finally came up with something. Since reaching a maintenance weight, I have felt very uncomfortable in my body. It has not felt like mine. I am bony in parts that I haven't seen bones in 40 years. I don't look like me ANYWHERE. I was feeling really down about this.
Until today.
I began strength training again today. And not only does my body look different than it did, it behaves differently as well.
It's better.
I thought skinny and bony would equal weak. I was wrong.
* Today, I was able to return to modified push-ups, after being compelled to do wall pushups for years because of a knee injury.
* Today, I was able to do many more lying adductions and lying abductions than previously.
* And today, I began my upper body workout with 8 lb weights instead of the usual 5 lb ones that I had been using.
It seems that my fat did not make me strong.
So, my new ticker now reflects my new positive outlook. And even though it is difficult to put into the little ticker space what my new ticker is recording, I am now keeping track of days that I think of a positive thing about my body that does not have anything to with appearance.
So, now that I am, for all intents and purposes, at maintenance weight, I have a decision to make. Or rather, possibly two decisions, depending on the result of the first.
Shall I continue to have a "ticker" on my page?
If I choose yes, I need to decide what to place on it. Any ideas?
Should I count days maintained?
Fitness minutes?
Times I do something that I used to procrastinate?
What do you think?
So, looking at my ticker, it seems that I am almost "there". Almost at "goal" weight. As my little running woman edges ever-closer to that "finish line" though, I pause and ponder ...
What is a "goal" weight?
Whenever I hear the word "goal" it sounds like an end to me. A dictionary definition might be: "the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result."
Huh. Is me reaching a certain weight the object of my ambition and effort here?
Or is there more?
Yes, I began Sparkpeople (and more recently joined Overeaters Anonymous) to lose weight. No question there. Let's face it, I was close to 200 lbs, and firmly stationed in the "obese" range of the body mass index.
But these last few months as I have been learning more about myself, the more I realize that a number on the scale is not my main objective. I am not just changing my size or shape (although thankfully that has happened!); I am changing my LIFE.
So, if not a "goal weight", what, then, *is* my objective?
This may change as I continue to live at a healthy weight, but, for now, my objectives are:
(1) to learn how to tone this new body of mine. I am blessed to have the Sparkpeople site and community for this part - I know how to do this already.
(2) to continue to forge a healthy relationship with food. Learning to fuel my body with healthy foods for maximum performance and clear-headedness seems a much better goal than "should I be 140 or 135 lbs"?
I remind myself daily that the end of my ticker is not the end of my journey; it's a continuation.
What are YOUR objectives?
The other night, I was changing for bed. I took off my blouse in the dim light (dh was already asleep), and wasn't sure what I was looking at. It then dawned on me - my WAIST!
It's back!
Oh, how I've missed it!
You see, I have always been bottom-heavy. Even on my wedding day, with all 125 lbs of me, my hips and bottom were disproportionately bigger than my upper half. But my waist has always been tiny in comparison (so have my breasts, but that's another blog).
Well, with 50 extra pounds on my frame, one of my favourite features was covered. In fat.
But not anymore, 10 lbs down, and it has started to re-assert itself. And with it, I've found my motivation again. It must have been hiding under that fat roll all along!
Now, directly under my new-found smaller waist is a tummy roll of gigantic proportions, but I can only do this one day, one workout, one nutritional choice at a time.
Stay tuned, though, for an "I found my hip bones" blog!
Those of you familiar with my blog entries will know that my mother and I try to encourage and support each other in our healthy lifestyles. We also compete goodnaturedly against each other, too, when we need a little boost to our motivation.
Our last "competition" was two summers ago:
Unfortunately, we didn't end up doing very well that time. I don't know what got in the way of our success, but we are nevertheless giving it a "go" again this year.
A few weeks ago, we decided to see if we could get closer to our weightloss goals before my cousin's wedding coming up this July 25. In England. The thought of travelling all that way for a wedding and not looking my best in the photos taken was a great motivator for me!
So far, I have lost 5.6 lbs. My mom is doing well also.
We have 17 weeks left. I am aiming to lose 1-2 pounds a week to be about halfway, or a little better, on my way to goal by then. My mother, who has half as much to lose, is aiming for 1 pound a week to be almost at goal by then.
Wish us well!

Books to get you ready to head back to school
"The Classroom (The Epic Documentary of a Not-Yet-Epic Kid)" By Robin Mellom. Age 10+
There's so much to love about this laugh-out-loud-funny story of what happens to Trevor Jones, who is just starting the seventh grade at Westside Middle School. All in one day, Trevor starts school, loses his best friend and has to deal with a film crew documenting the life of a "typical middle school student." The story is told a bit in the style of a movie; the chapters are short, and there are cute drawings and doodles on the pages. Total fun for the end of the summer and the start of school.

My intention is meditate twice daily with the super radiance group, and it it doesn't happen and I am perfectly happy with that too.
Went to group meditation this morning at was fantastic.
Was regular the last couple of days and went to the group meditation hall.
Meditated yesterday afternoon and this morning at super radiance time – cool, nice experiences this morning.
I meditated this morning – late
Yesterday afternoon I skipped.
I was late starting my meditation yesterday afternoon and morning but I did my program each time. This morning I started early and did a good long program.
Yesterday morning I skipped, yesterday afternoon I was on time on target, this morning wasn't on time but I did my meditation anyway.
My intention is to do this for the next 30 days. Success will be 80% or more.
I did my two meditations at the time I wanted to today.
I have logged over 25,000 hours of meditation in my life. I sometimes skip my meditation. My intention is to do my practice twice a day and at the same time as the global super radiance group meditation in my community. So that is start at 7.35 latest in morning and 5.05 latest in evening.

Martinez hopes to oust Majority Leader Michael Sanchez
One advertisement filling television screens says state Sen. Michael Sanchez opposed life sentences for child killers.
Another says Sanchez's opponent, state Rep. David Chavez, missed 146 legislative votes because he was absent from work.
Sanchez, left, and Chavez are combatants in what may be New Mexico's most personal and most oversimplified campaign, the Senate race in Valencia County's District 29.
Republican Gov. Susana Martinez wants to displace Sanchez, a political enemy and the leader of majority Democrats in the Senate. A former district attorney, Martinez prosecuted the Baby Brianna case being used in the ads against Sanchez.
Martinez, who appears on camera, leaves viewers with the idea that Sanchez is soft on crime. He considers the ad an attack on the truth as much as it is on him.
"I support legislation that gives a life sentence to a person who intentionally abuses a child resulting in the child's death," said Sanchez, an attorney.
But in a 2005 vote, he did not favor legislation referenced in the ad. Sanchez said he had good reason — namely the law's many tentacles could mean life sentences for people guilty of negligence but not actual child abuse.
He cited a Lovington case in which a domestic violence victim who had post-traumatic stress disorder left her child in the same room with the abuser.
As for Chavez's work ethic, the ad targeting him also makes a generalization.
Legislators who are hard at work can and do miss floor votes. Members of legislative committees hearing significant bills may remain in session as the rest of the House or Senate assemble to vote on other legislation.
Another ad against Chavez refers to him as a puppet for Martinez. But Chavez, as a freshman representative, for a time opposed the governor's insistence that illegal immigrants be barred from driving in New Mexico.
Now Chavez is trying to distance himself from his own legislation.
Of the licensing law, he wrote this on his campaign website: "I know this is a bad law that puts our public safety at risk. That is why I have always voted to repeal the law that gives illegal immigrants a driver's license."
His statement is true as far as it goes. But in 2011, Chavez sponsored a bill that would have given illegal immigrants privilege cards enabling them to drive in New Mexico but not other states.
Chavez, above right, said at the time that he was moved by those who fled the violence in Juarez, Mexico, where more than 3,100 people were murdered in 2010.
Providing driving privileges for illegal immigrants in New Mexico would be a humane act toward those trying to rebuild their lives in a safe place, Chavez told members of the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee.
The committee blocked his bill on a 3-2 vote, so it never advanced to the full House of Representatives.
But the repeal bill moved ahead. Chavez then joined with all 33 Republican House members in voting to overturn the licensing law. The repeal later died in the Senate.
Sanchez has voted to continue the licensing law for illegal immigrants. In the last two years, he has been among Senate Democrats who pushed to add penalties for fraud to the law, saying that step should eliminate Martinez's objections.
Chavez, 54, an attorney, is the son of a former Democratic state senator and lieutenant governor, the late Tibo Chavez. Many say he is running against Sanchez at an opportune moment.
"I'm talking to people who say they voted for Michael in the past, but they won't this time," said state Rep. Alonzo Baldonado, R-Los Lunas. "I just have a feeling people want a change."
Los Lunas resident Guy Dicharry was not among them. He said he would cast his vote for Sanchez, 62, a senator for 20 years.
"He is always responsive," Dicharry said.
Jason Marks, a Democrat who serves on the state Public Regulation Commission, said he considered Sanchez one of the most dedicated and thoughtful legislators.
"Nobody pulls his strings," Marks said. "He's been an independent check on the lobbyists' ability to move bills that weren't a good idea."
Martinez, though, has accused Sanchez of obstructionism on important legislation.
She criticized him publicly in 2011 for not scheduling a final vote on a bill that would have retained about 2,500 third-graders statewide, all struggling to read.
Martinez campaigned on the measure, saying New Mexico is mindlessly promoting kids who are not able to keep up academically.
The retention bill made it onto the Senate calendar with 30 hours left in the session, but Sanchez did not schedule it for a vote. He said the bill was competing for time with dozens of other important measures and not all of them could be heard.
Angry Senate Republicans rebutted Sanchez's claim with a filibuster during the final hours of the session.
This race is Chavez's second against Sanchez. Chavez lost in 2000.
A win for Chavez this time would amount to a political coup for Martinez.
But if Sanchez is re-elected, she could lose politically. Her chilly relationship with Sanchez could turn to ice, setting a stage where it would be harder than ever for her to advance her legislative agenda.

Beyonce Knowles-Carter hit the 2012 Met Gala last night with a shockingly revealing gown.
Queen B boldly hit the red carpet in a revealing Givenchy Haute Couture gown as wide-eyed onlookers gawked at her motherly figure.
While it was just last year that she and hubby Jay-z were boo'd up & boo'd by the crowd at the annual event, Mr. Carter was no where in sight this year.
Bey explained to reporters that Jay opted to stay home this year and was home babysitting their 4 month old daughter, Blue Ivy.
She also fueled a bit of speculation that she and hubby Jay-Z may be working towards baby #2.
Details + more photos of Beyonce's sheer dress below…
The hot mom is said to have received widespread applause for her risqué and theatrical dress, which was made of lace and mesh and featured a purple feathered train similar to that of a wedding dress.
E! Online also reports that Bey fueled rumors that 4-month-old daughter Blue Ivy may have a lil brother a sister in the near future.
"I have such a full life. I feel like now I know the reason that I was born," Beyonce told E!.

"I definitely want to have more [children]! I don't know how many. God knows I don't know yet," she added.
How would you rate Bey's sheer red carpet look?
Was it HOT or WAY TOO MUCH for the new mommy?

Esther Vergeer, who has dominated women's wheelchair tennis over the past decade, has announced her retirement.
The 31-year-old amassed a remarkable 470-match winning run over nine years and won 21 grand slam singles crowns and three Paralympic titles.
The Dutchwoman has not played since announcing she was to take a break from the sport after the 2012 London Paralympics and Tweeted on Tuesday that she has "officially stopped tennis".
International Tennis Federation president Francesco Ricci paid tribute to Vergeer.
He said: "Esther Vergeer is a tremendous ambassador not only for tennis but also for disability sports. She is an inspiration to many.
"Wheelchair tennis owes her a huge debt of gratitude for her professionalism and her quality as a player.
"Everyone at the ITF wishes her well with her Foundation and we know that anything she chooses to do in the future will be a success.
"While we will certainly miss her, we will have one more chance to honour her as our ITF World Champion, for a record 13th time, at the ITF World Champions Dinner in Paris."

I've been actively boycotting this trend.
Not because I don't think it's fabulous. I mean seriously, it is, totally…
But the name.
Just, ew.
Is there something wrong with burgundy? Is there no other word available in the English language to describe the hue that doesn't put you in the mind of cow innards?
Just think about why they went with ox in the first place. Why not puppy? Or human? Because it's not as cool when you're walking around with a puppy blood handbag is it? Or a pair of human blood kicks?
I guess people just don't respect castrated bovine enough to care.
But I do.
Well, I did anyway. Until, I stumbled across this happy little gem of a bag that I love…
You win ox blood. You. Win.

NATIONWIDE -- People are just rounding out commencement season for college graduates and while congratulations are in order, so is a hard look at your savings.
In his weekly address, President Obama spoke about efforts to help graduates with student loan debt.
While having a degree can lead to a higher income, it can also mean a heavy debt load. And interest on top of that creates an even heavier burden for recent grads. That's why the president is now pushing legislation that would let students refinance their student loans.
He says the program would be paid for by the government by closing loopholes that give tax breaks to people with higher incomes. And he says now, it's up to Congress to make that a reality. That bill comes from Massachusetts Senator Liz Warren.
It's expected to come to a vote on the senate floor next week.
