SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Making Strides is an annual walk in Syracuse to honor survivors of breast cancer. About 7,000 walkers are expected to join in the event Sunday morning in Clinton Square.
It all begins with walkers crossing a pink line painted along the walkway at the square. Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney and Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner joined with officials from the American Cancer Society to paint the line today and urge a big turnout this weekend.
"Making Strides is more than just a word. It's a whole group of people that have come together to fight for, as you said, people we all know and love in our own lives," said Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney.
The annual Making Strides walks across the nation have helped to raise close to $400 million to aid in cancer research.

Search continues for city attorney
The city will re-advertise for an in-house city attorney after receiving only two applicants and hearing concerns that it did not advertise sufficiently for the position.
"Some concern was expressed that we didn't advertise widely enough," said City Manager Larry Fry. "We always want to get as many applications as we can."
The city will re-advertise in the next few days. The process will take another 30 to 45 days before an attorney may be hired, Fry said.

Williams are once again at the wrong end of the timesheets as Jules Bianchi struggles with illness.
Valtteri Bottas:"We were running some mechanical tests in the car today and we got some good data in terms of looking at how the car set-up should be for the weekend. The temperatures will be a bit warmer on Saturday and Sunday, so we need to make the most out of the tyres on both days. The gap between our car and the others hasn't changed much but we'll do our best with what we have to see if we can find something more for tomorrow."
Pastor Maldonado:"It wasn't a great day for us but the feeling in the car was better during FP1 than the previous race. We were trying different set-ups and rear wings across both cars, but we still need more speed to close the gap to the cars ahead. I like this circuit and the track conditions were improving every lap. We need to analyse what we found today to make further changes to improve for tomorrow."
Charles Pic:"I said before we arrived here that this is my favourite track and I'm pleased we've had a good Friday here, a solid day where we've clearly made a bit of progress. We started FP1 with more aero work, running a couple of laps with flow-viz to continue the evaluation of the updates we brought to Silverstone and here where we have some more refinements to the brake ducts. After that we began the full programme and at the start we were having issues bringing the front tyres up to temperature. The track conditions were ok, cooler than it looks like it'll be on Sunday, so that'll obviously change the way the tyres behave in the race, but we worked on that on run three and made some progress in setup for tomorrow. Over lunch we made a couple of changes to ride height and the rear anti-roll bar and at the start of FP2 we went straight into a six lap first run and immediately found we had a better aero balance. That carried on to the performance run on the options and by then I was pretty happy with the way the car was performing. It was the same on the long runs. The pace was consistent on the options and good on the primes with pretty low deg on both and when the session finished I think everyone was quite happy with the work we did today. We definitely needed a clear Friday to help us catch up with the workload we had from Silverstone and back to Canada. Fridays are obviously so important and with the mileage we covered today we've set ourselves up well for Saturday and Sunday. Now we need to carry this momentum through to the rest of the weekend and with the race pace we have I'm really looking forward to seeing where we are on Sunday."
Giedo van der Garde:"Overall it's been a good day for us, starting with FP1 which was a good session. We ran a couple more aero programmes at the start and a number of new ideas across the car, including the brakes where we've gone for a new setup that looks like it's working well as I was almost immediately able to brake later and harder. In general the first couple of runs were dominated by understeer so we spent a bit of time dialling that out and by the end of the session the car was behaving relatively well. One real positive from FP1 was something we tried on the rear that gave me good grip on the throttle on corner exits. This track is mostly low to medium speed corners so good traction out of them is important, so that's something we'll want to maintain for the whole weekend. For FP2 we started with a different floor, so we could run more comparison tests with the new version we had at Silverstone. The car still had a bit too much understeer but we made a couple of mechanical changes and by the time we tried the options for the first time the car was getting better and better. On the long run we had reasonable deg levels and by the end of the session I have to say I was pretty happy with where we were. We've had much better weather here than we had on Friday in Canada or Silverstone and that's definitely helped us catch up with the aero work we needed to do. That's given us a lot of data to work through tonight and we'll aim to find another step tomorrow. It looks like we have some clear air to the team behind us and we've definitely made a bit of a gain to Williams here, so more hard work overnight and this could be a good weekend for us."
Max Chilton: "The timesheets don't paint the full picture in a day where I've actually been reasonably comfortable with the car. This morning I was pleased to split the Caterhams and this afternoon we focused more on long run pace in preparation for Sunday. Tomorrow in qualifying we will have a better idea of our outright pace here versus the competition, but for now I am pleased with the general direction."
Jules Bianchi: "Today was a very short day for me, which is unfortunate. It was already scheduled some time ago that Rodolfo would drive in FP1 and as things turned out that enabled me to rest and hopefully feel better. This afternoon I completed two runs in FP2 - 10 laps in total - but I was not feeling my best, so it was better to stop and properly recuperate. I hope after a good night's sleep I will be back on form tomorrow."

Slow & Steady Wins the Race - My Journey to Lose 101 Pounds (Comments Welcome!)
"Never, never, never give up." ~Winston Churchill~
Starting Weight: 300
Current Weight: 280
Beginning Goal Weight: 199
Hi and welcome to my WISH journal! My name is Nan and I am in the midst of a long journey to lose over 100 pounds. I am currently working towards a loss of 101 pounds, which would get me into Onderland. Eventually, I would like to get to the 150's, but that is too much for me to think about right now.
I started at 300 pounds in September 2012. I have since lost 20 pounds by incorporating exercise and limiting my fast food and soda habit. However, the weight loss has stalled out the last couple of months, mainly because I am struggling a lot with the emotional aspects of eating and my lifelong weight problem. Here is bit of my backstory.
I am 33 years old, happily married, with no children. I have struggled with my weight since puberty. A little over 2 years ago, I was finally diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) & Hypothyroidism, which explained numerous health issues I was having, including infertility and difficulty losing weight. I have been told by numerous doctors that I won't be able to lose weight without following Atkins, or having weight loss surgery. I do not personally agree with either of those options, so I've been struggling & steadily gaining weight over the last several years.
In August of last year, during some routine blood work, my doctor discovered I have a condition called Factor V Leiden, which is a genetic mutation blood clotting disorder. It is now ABSOLUTELY VITAL that I get my weight under control and live a healthier lifestyle. Since then, I have made some positive changes and was seeing progress. But in order to get further with the weight loss, I have to get my emotional eating under control.
So, I'm planning on using this WISH journal as a way to keep track of my progress, and vent out emotional/stressful feelings instead of using food. I have a very stressful job, and I need to learn how to take care of myself and be healthy even when things are beating me down.
Any-who, I appreciate any and all support from my DISfriends! Changing my life is going to take time, but I want this more than anything. I want to have a strong & healthy body to enjoy my life to the fullest!

I am subscribing and here to cheer you on!!!
We have a lot in common right down to one dog and two cats!
I am so sorry to hear about all your health issues. Before I lost weight my bloodwork showed I might have been PCOS but then follow up tests showed I did not and when they retested my bloodwork (after losing some weight) it all showed normal. I don't think losing weight cured it since they never found cysts on my ovaries but just saying if all they have done is bloodwork that bloodwork could just be a result of being overweight. There is a great site/forum out there called Soul Cysters if you haven't found it already.
I think with the help of the DISboards and journaling you can do anything! I am a big believer in social support for weight loss but I'm quiet in real life so its easier for me to find support online. Are you tracking food anywhere? I really like fatsecret for an online food tracker. It's app even has a scanner. I love that. I am also a member of sparkpeople but I am not very active over there anymore, but I do track my weight there and check in on 'friends' there.
Also I am not sure if this would affect your health conditions or not but DH is on phentermine to control his appetite. His doctors told him to just 'do weight loss surgery' too but he wouldn't do it. First time around he did Atkins (actually AGAINST doctor's orders) but it wasn't a lifestyle change for him and he went back to eating 'normal' and gained almost half the weight back (over the course of a year so I don't think that's too bad). Anyway his biggest issue now is just his appetite. ONE serving of anything didn't fill him up. Now on phentermine 1 or 2 servings is plenty. For dinner he usually still has 2 servings but that's still better than before when he'd have 4. So he is losing weight simply by eating less. We eat out once a week tops and usually more like every other week if that. So that helps both of us.
Okay I best get to work. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Good luck on your journey to Onderland! I am rooting for you!

Hi Nan,
I am here to cheer you on too. Have you ever heard of Tosca Reno? I had not and my friend gave me her books-I cannot put them down and they have motivated me when I was doing nothing about the weight I gained.
I would say if you read these books you would have a totally different view on things.It is about clean eating and it all just MAKES SENSE!
Please take a look at these they will help you.

Woohoo! Congrats on your 1.2 lb loss! Slow and steady definitely wins the race. My goal is 1 lb per week. :D
Yay about your kitchen! Sounds like it will be great. I can't wait to see pics. I watch way too much HGTV and dream of someday being able to redo our kitchen too.
Yeah I used to sometimes blog on Spark people but that was years ago. I prefer the DISboards too. I also like that I can ramble on about Disney stuff too and its still 'related'.
Good luck with your goals! It might be hard at first but once you go awhile without fast food you won't miss it. I like rules too. I'm sure you'll do great. Just remember if you slip up just to get right back on track.
Keep up the awesome work!!!
OT: I see you are going to Aluni in a year or so. Any WDW trips on the horizon?

Well, I definitely have PCOS..... I saw an Endocrinologist for a few years and now have my bloodwork monitored by my regular doctor. Any-who, I know that I can lose this weight and get healthier regardless of my health issues. It just takes dedication, consistency & faith. And TIME!
I'm a SparkPeople member and try to log my calories/food/weight there. I just wanted to use this WISH journal as my weekly blog. I feel so at home on the DISboards! Y'all are my people!!!

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." ~Walt Disney~
Starting Weight: 300
Current Weight: 278.8
Beginning Goal Weight: 199
Just did my weekly Saturday morning weigh-in and I'm down 1.2 pounds! I'm excited to keep chugging along!
In other good news, my kitchen has been under remodeling construction for the last 5 weeks, and the contractors are here right now to finally finish the job. I am going to be sooooo happy to have my kitchen all fixed up and back in order. All that is left is to do the tile backsplash, but that won't be a big deal. We have been eating really simple meals and eating out way more than we should because most of my kitchen stuff has been in boxes. Can't wait to go back to cooking regular meals again! Once the backsplash is done, I'll post before & after pics.
On the topic of eating out too much, I have decided that as of today, April 20th, I am going to commit to myself to eliminate ALL drive-thru fast food AND all real soda from my life.
My "rules" are going to be that I can only eat at a fast food restaurant if I actually go into the restaurant and sit down. (in instances where I can't get around eating there, which I don't expect to happen too often). I have a real problem with fast food, mainly because zipping through the drive-thru is easy, cheap & most of all anonymous. I just need to get rid of the drive-thru fast food habit all together. There is no reason I should be eating fast food.
My "rules" for no real soda are that I can only have it when I am on vacation. A REAL vacation (which is usually once or twice a year), not just "hey, I'm off work and sitting around the house" vacation. Instead, I am just going to drink water, lemon water, unsweet tea, crystal light, and the occasional diet soda.
This may seem silly to some people, but I know this is what I need to do for myself. And the "rules" help me because (1) I am a good rule follower, I like structure and, (2) It helps me to think that I CAN have these things, but not very often & in a controlled manner.
My goals for this week are to get back to cooking, and begin my new lifestyle commitment of "no drive-thrus and no real soda". I also want to work out at least 4 times this week.
Well, that is all I have for now. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Hi! Doing my weekly progress check-in! I'm down 0.8 pounds. Its a loss and step in the right direction, so I'll take it! I did pretty decent this week. I had a few stumbles, but I got back up and kept going. AF showed up this week, which always throws me off a bit. Nothing like cramps and irrational emotions to make you lose focus!
I really like the quote I posted for today. It can be overwhelming for me to think about how much weight I need to lose and how far I still have to go. But I need to remember that this journey really is 1 day at a time, 1 week at a time, 1 pound at a time.
We are just relaxing and staying at home this weekend. Saving some money! I did get a good workout in first thing this morning. Other than that, I have a good book calling my name and a whole Saturday ahead of me!

I just saw this thread. I need to lose weight, too, and thought by joining a group I would be more accountable.
I'm about 100 pounds overweight, maybe more. I'm trying to lose jean sizes before my October 2014 cruise with my mom.
I just got off the Magic last month and bought only 1 picture with my husband. I am so disgusted with myself how I allowed myself to get this big. My brother and I have the same waist size now. That is sad. Right now, I wear 20W plus size jeans. My goal is to wear size 4 petite jeans. I know I may not reach that size this October 2014 but I want to at least get into single digit size jeans.
My plan is to decrease my intake of processed foods (chips, candy, cookies, sodas, etc.) eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, eat more seafood, less pork and beef, less fast foods, etc.
Today is my first day of starting this plan. I just did the Jillian Michaels 30 day challenge during my lunch time. It's 20 minutes/day for 30 days. I could barely do it, but I did what I could. I feel better already.

I think the spectrum would be amazing with ICS Goodness. I love that device but LG's Skin is so damn heavy.

You can pick up an LG spectrum NEW off ebay for $250, I was considering it to play with, but the skin is holding me back too..

The new LG optimus 3.0 skin is nice. Almost stock ICS looking-ish and every icon can be customized.

The one good thing about apple is the fact that they control their updates. Android isn't really slow on updates, carriers are.

Actually the manufacturers are slow as well. Especially Motorola and Samsung.

Peter F. Hamilton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia has a good reputation for his Space Opera if he's not read him; not read them myself but could be worth a look.
And I know you say sci-fi, but Game of Thrones etc. really is excellent and is serving as a gateway drug for many people - could be worth a go. It has more in common with an alternate history than it does with Tolkien (although as it's based on the War of the Roses, that makes sense).

Space Opera sounds familiar but I will have a look.
Def not Game of Thrones - not him at all
World war Z as a book hadnt occured to me - thanks

He might not have read Philip Reeve's "Mortal Engines"/"Predator Cities" books as they're normally found in the "Older Readers" section, but they are a rollicking good Steampunk tale (though the author once somewhat ironically decried Steampunk as a literary dead end). The climax of the final book was stunning.
jasper Fforde's books are fun, though possibly not "sciencey" enough with the possible exception of "Shades of Grey".
Peter Hamiltons, Nights Dark trilogy is over a decade old but extremely good..
Chances are that MrWitch will already have read it.
Unless you've read them yourself don't dismiss Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones is the title of the first book and the TV Series NOT teh book Series ).
They are as far removed from Fantasy Fiction as anything I have ever read.
I know people (some in my own family) whose previous reading material ran the breadth from Wilbur Smith, Jackie Collins or that Bridget Jones woman.. and they STILL couldn't put Game of Thrones down when they started reading it.
If you have read them and still think they are not hubbies cup of tea then I obviously bow to your spousal knowledge
Last edited by JohnCondon; 28th November 2012 at 03:17 PM. Reason: didn't name the author
No one suggested Stephen King's Dark Tower series?
The Gunslinger, The Drawing of the Three, The Wasted Lands etc.
Edit:Oopsie, It's The Waste Lands, not The Wasted Lands.
Anyway...the new Neil Asher Owner Trilogy books are quite good, not to everyones taste, but the second book is much better than the first.
China Miéville? Not really sci-fi either (similar genre to Neil Gaiman, slipstream or the new weird or w/e), and not to everyone's tastes, but I do love 'im. Kraken is perhaps the least pretentious place to start.
Last edited by sonofsanta; 28th November 2012 at 03:44 PM. Reason: to sound less grumpy
I don't know if anyone has suggested these....

July 10, 2013
Although life-changing technologies are difficult to recognize when they first arrive, it is becoming increasingly evident that we are witnessing the emergence of technologies that will fundamentally change education. With all of the press about the advent of MOOCs, the new massive open online courses, it is natural to question if these and other new internet-based teaching technologies are just a passing fad. Will they really lead to deep and permanent changes in education? There are several reasons to believe that we are seeing changes that will be extensive and lasting. First, we have passed a critical threshold in internet speed that now permits routine streaming of videos and other content. Second, the fraction of the world that has reliable internet connectivity has been growing exponentially, expanding well beyond the developed world so that even large portions of the developing world have regular internet access. Third, younger generations have been exposed to computer-based content throughout their whole lives, and are open to learning and communicating through rapidly evolving platforms.
Indeed, new educational technologies have the potential to vastly increase the percentage of the world that has access to high-quality education and should also lead to basic changes in the structure of brick-and-mortar teaching in the classroom. As one example of changes in traditional teaching, many classes at Stanford are now flipped. What does this mean? I taught two such classes this spring, an undergraduate course on game theory and a graduate course on social and economic networks. The flipped classroom means that students are responsible for watching video lectures before coming class. Those lectures can cover basic material for a course, including much that would usually be delivered in a traditional lecture, thereby freeing up time in the classroom to dig more deeply. This permits not only farther-reaching discussions and interaction, but also hands-on learning involving other emerging technologies. In particular, in the game theory course we used Moblab, a new program through which students can play games in real-time in the classroom. Also based on an internet technology, students can interact in a game-theory laboratory by logging on using a pc, tablet, or phone. Through the Moblab platform, students engage in markets, bargain with each other, choose production levels, make forecasts, play public goods games, and a long list of other interactions. As they choose actions, through a console on my computer I can project their behaviors on a screen at the front of the classroom, and then we could discuss the results immediately. For instance, as they bid in an auction, we can discuss the "winner's curse" and what sort of information they should be inferring from being the high-bidder – with the full distribution of other students' bids right in front of them in real time. This gives the students a completely different perspective, helping to make economics and game theory vivid and real topics, and engages them much more intensely.
Even just five years ago this would not have been possible. Using paper and pencil to run any in-class activity takes much more time, and running just a few such exercises during a course would take away valuable time from lectures. Moblab's new game platform makes setting up and running such in-class exercises easy.
New technologies bring changes and uncertainties that can be frightening, especially when they emerge so rapidly. In this case, the good news is that the advent of new internet-based teaching technologies should lead not only to great improvements in access to education, bringing high-quality education to people world-wide, but should also lead to great improvements in the experience in the classroom for everyone, instructors and students alike.

You just know what the guy next to him is thinking......................

You just know what the guy next to him is thinking......................
"there no way my food tray will make it intact past that mouth...." ???
'theres no way this plane can fly'
'There's no way he's gonna make it to the toilet should he suddenly need to go'
would he actually fit in the toilet? they arent much wider than the seats themselves.
The size of some people frightens me these days! I'm surprised he didn't get two seats to be honest. I'm sure my backside would hurt if I was sat like that!
OI! Who posted a picture of me from behind!:cool:
The guy next to him paid for extra leg room, but only gets half a seat :D
I feel like the big guy sometimes, especially on planes! Damn lanky legs
It really annoys me that does - how come he is allowed to fly and yet if I go over my luggage allowance by the weight a grain of salt, I will be charged for it.
Weight allowance should be luggage + passenger!
Problem is what do you consider average? That chap just looks physically big, but technically he could be smaller with lots of muscle and weigh the same.Quote:
Weight allowance should be luggage + passenger!
He's obstructing the gangway on an aircraft, surely that's a H&S / Air Regs violation?
I must admit the passenger + luggage allowance would have to be done in a certain way, but for people that really are terribly overweight, I don't think it's fair. I know this could cause a lot of arguments, but still..... :D
As for what counts as average, again, who knows how this could be done - but that gentleman is very definitely, not, average.
Average would be designated lift off weight off plane devided by amount of passengers - each passenger allwed that weight for themselves plus their luggage. simple!

Up day question
Within the past half hour I decided JUDDD is for me, I've been on a low carb diet for years and I'm ready to take the next step for my health. For 2 months I've been intermittent fasting, eating only dinner. I decided all things considered I'm usually on somewhat of a down day and a up day sounds fabulous. So I decided today would be an up day...but it's almost 3 in the afternoon I don't think I can consume 2000 calories this late in the day, I can probably hit 600 or so, so I'm wondering should I make tomorrow a real up day then Sat. my first down day? I have 7lbs to lose at this point...some newbie advise would be greatly appreciated since I only have half an hour knowledge on the subject so far :)
From the sound of things, you will do quite well on JUDDD, and I bet you slide into goal in no time!
There are different ways you could do this, but if you've not eaten today and you're used to only having dinner, what about making this your first DD?
Would you be able to keep the calories at dinner around 500? Even going over that by a couple hundred would not be terrible, and then you could start with a glorious UD tomorrow. :D
Welcome! And I agree with just making today a dd, and enjoying a good ud tomorrow.
Agree with the other posters. Make today your DD and then have a really good UP tomorrow. And yes, I do suggest and advise that you eat as close to those UD calories as you can. It's what helps to make JUDDD work as well as it does and those who have succeeded will probably suggest the same as I am.
We need those UD calories to help get us through the DDs and help to repair any damage we may have done to our metabolism by eating low calories every day. At least this is my understanding, and what has worked for me. :)
Welcome! Glad you decided to join us. You won't be sorry. :)
welcome to the board!!!
I agree with the others...might as well start today.
Question: do you generally only consume 600 cals daily?
:welcome: JUDDD should be a breeze for you since you are already doing IF. You'll just have to work on eating high on your UDs, though! Don't be afraid of breakfast lunch, and dinner. Are you going to do low carb? I jumped right into the carbs and lost my last few pounds in no time. It really works!
WOW! Been a long time! Welcome back to LCF's...I was off for awhile, also. How did your first day go?
:hiya: and :welcome:
Welcome! You're going to love it!
My best advice is to take a whole bunch of your extra hours for a few days and just spend as much time as you can reading past posts and discussions. You'll come away from those hours of research well prepared to succeed, and to do so while enjoying all the wonderful freedom JUDDD can give you along the way!
Holy cow, you're 5'8 and 127 pounds??
I'd totally call that goal. :) Are you a model?
:welcome: you will love JUDDD.
Thanks for all the welcomes! So far doing well I found my UD tough since I'm use to fasting most of the day I'm kind of relieved today is a down day!
On an average day before I ate less than 1000 calories, I don't have an exact number since I haven't tracked any of my meals yet.
Knittering, I'm not a professional model but I have modeled. Thanks for the compliment :D

Goal 4
Minnesota's fish and wildlife populations will be healthy and provide great recreation opportunities
Strong conservation partnerships will create a future where fishing, hunting, trapping, and wildlife-viewing opportunities meet the expectations of hunters, anglers, and wildlife watchers. Minnesota has a rich and important fishing and hunting tradition. Fishing, hunting and the taking of game and fish are recognized in the Minnesota State Constitution as a valued part of Minnesota's heritage that shall be forever preserved for the people and managed by law and regulation for the public good. Minnesotans and visitors have access to rich public lands and recreational opportunities. Businesses that depend on fish and wildlife resources support sustainable management of these resources.
Goal for the future envisions:
Fish and wildlife populations and the habitats that support them are healthy.
Habitat types in jeopardy, such as prairies and grasslands, wetlands, and shallow lakes, are restored. Endangered and threatened species, species of special concern, and species in greatest conservation need are conserved.
Conservation partnerships and stewardship ethics are strong.
Public and private-sector partners work together to support Minnesota's resources and promote conservation. Conservation education and enforcement help citizens safely enjoy outdoor recreation and provide decision makers with the information they need to make wise resource-related decisions.

Brooks Brothers No-Iron Shirt
Ironing clothing can be the most time-consuming part of the laundry process, so in 1999, we were excited to discover that this shirt is truly wash-and-wear. We boldly proclaimed that "Your husband can pluck it from the hot dryer and walk out the door." The secret to its design is a "baked" in finish, which eliminates wrinkling.

Hypertension/high blood pressure health centre
How your kidneys help control your blood pressure
Your kidneys take excess salt and water out of your blood and turn them into urine. They do this to get rid of the salt and water your body doesn't need. It's also one of the ways your body regulates your blood pressure.
If your blood pressure is low, your kidneys make a substance called renin. Renin is an enzyme. Enzymes are substances in your body that help chemical changes to happen.
Renin begins a series of chemical reactions in your body that play a part in raising your blood pressure. Renin helps your body to make another chemical, called angiotensin I.
Angiotensin I needs to be changed to another form before it can work. This is done by an enzyme called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). ACE turns angiotensin I into angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is the active form that increases your blood pressure.
Angiotensin II raises your blood pressure by stopping your kidneys taking salt and water out of your blood. It also makes your blood vessels narrower. This means there is more blood struggling to get through a smaller space. This causes higher blood pressure. [6]
Some medicines for high blood pressure work by interfering with the chemicals in your body that cause your blood pressure to go up.
Drugs called renin inhibitors stop renin working.
Some drugs for treating high blood pressure stop the body turning angiotensin I into the active form, angiotensin II. These drugs are called ACE inhibitors.
Other drugs for treating high blood pressure block the effects of angiotensin II so it can't make blood vessels narrower. These drugs are called angiotensin II receptor blockers (or ARBs for short).
Enzymes are chemicals in your body. They have lots of different functions, including playing a part in helping to digest food and starting other chemical reactions that keep the body working.
Your kidneys are organs that filter your blood to make urine. You have two kidneys, on either side of your body. They are underneath your ribcage, near your back.

Last time it was.... if you want to get in your accommodation 2 hours early pay an extra £15. If you want to extend your break to a full week it is xxx more. Linen provided is xxx much.
- sumoqueen5 years, 11 months ago #11Show comment tools ReplyHave been on lots of these, some years have been twice, and we have never had bad accomodation or a bad time yet. We tend to stick to the Norfolk or Skegness area due to travelling time. As they say you get what you pay for (and sometimes the same holiday booked with the holiday company costs £150 plus). These are a great deal but remember you sometimes have to add service charge per night and entertainment passes per person to the original £9.50 and you have to pay £38 (for 4 people even if 2 or 3 go) (info re this on the parks information leaflet) but they are still great value for money. :thumbsup::-D
- loulou19815 years, 11 months ago #12Show comment tools ReplyWould love to go on one of these holidays as like most of us time i find things to do with children in the half term there is no way i can afford a holiday!

There are 9 parks in Spain included. 5 on Costa Brava, and 4 on Costa Dorado. There are also parks in Italy, France, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
It doesn't seem to be advertised on the link, but they are included in the brochure that comes with your booking form.
- SHOPAHOLIX5 years, 11 months ago #20Show comment tools ReplyHi,
we have not had a priority booking form either! So if anyone has had one and wont be using it, I would be grateful if you can PM me with just the reference number off the top.
Thanks in advance

Abbey Road Studios
Found a few great shots of Abbey Road Studios, the legendary London studios where the Beatles recorded almost all of their albums. I particularly love that first one which is apparently a shot of the control room in Studio Three as it looked during the 70′s. I am betting it's considerably more boring now. Studio One (second shot) on the other hand, hasn't changed at all.

Another change at Fab: Forbes reports that Bradford Shellhammer, the company's character of a cofounder, is leaving his day-to-day role as chief designer. He'll become a non-executive advisor.
Mr. Shellhammer sang a chipper tune on his way out the door, though. "Founding Fab was something I made in this world. And I am so very proud of that," he wrote in a valedictory blog post, continuing:
"I am also someone who has an explorer's heart. And I don't sit still. And I want to make other things in this world. And Fab is at a point in its history where I've decided to walk away from the day to day."
If he got de-foundered, he's certainly taking it well. A Fab spokesperson told Betabeat, "The passion, knowledge, and relationships that Bradford instilled in Fab at the beginning are still a core part of our DNA that we will keep alive and build upon as the company grows and executes on our mission of brightening peoples' lives with design."
But of course, it's hard not to interpret this in terms of the changing face of Fab as the company pivots from daily deals to grander ambitions. It's not particularly unusual for the cofounder who isn't CEO to bail at some point. But Mr. Goldberg has long said that Fab is basically his attempt to bring Mr. Shellhammer's eye for design to the rest of the world. Here's how a recent Fast Company profile portrays the company's birth:
Once Goldberg realized Fabulis would be a dud, he hit upon the idea of bottling and selling Shellhammer's curatorial flair. "Everyone I know wants you to help them design their life, the stuff in their life," Goldberg recalls telling Shellhammer over a boozy dinner two and a half years ago. "What if we built a website around you, bringing your taste to the rest of the world?"
That's got be a little tough to square with Mr. Goldberg's sky-high goals though. He says he wants Fab to be a company on par with Amazon–but with better taste, pioneering a new kind of "emotional commerce." How are you supposed to scale a single person's taste?
It's also worth mulling this rather charged quote from that same Fast Company piece. COO Beth Ferreira on Mr. Shellhammer:
"Bradford is just so free with his thoughts and opinions. The question is, What will his long-term role be in the company? He's such an asset from the creative standpoint. Will the company be better served with him focusing only on that?"
Fab doesn't want you to see this move as a sign of trouble, though. The spokesperson also informed us that, "This is a natural point in the Company's evolution for Bradford to pursue new adventures. Bradford remains a shareholder in Fab and is as committed to its success as anyone else who is in the office there everyday."
*The original headline of this post suggested that Mr. Shellhammer was leaving the company; in fact he's just leaving his day-to-day role and will remain an advisor.

The tech entrepreneur and essayist Paul Graham does not make a Kinsella-style principled case against intellectual property in his essay "Post-Medium Publishing". But what he does do is reflect in a pragmatic way on how businesses should function in a world that is de facto becoming post-IP. His observations dovetail nicely with the case against IP.

In fact consumers never really were paying for content, and publishers weren't really selling it either. If the content was what they were selling, why has the price of books or music or movies always depended mostly on the format? Why didn't better content cost more?
…What happens to publishing if you can't sell content? You have two choices: give it away and make money from it indirectly, or find ways to embody it in things people will pay for.

Cyclone Victoria continued to intensify overnight from April 9 to April 10, and imagery from NASA's Aqua satellite showed a tighter storm circulation and a possible eye developing.
On April 10, 2013 at 0300 UTC, Victoria had maximum sustained winds near 60 knots (69 mph/111 kph). Victoria was located near 15.2 south and 103.8 east, about 735 nautical miles northwest of Learmonth, Australia. Victoria was moving to the south-southeast at 8 knots (9 mph/15 kph).
NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Tropical Cyclone Victoria on April 10 at 0705 UTC (3:05 a.m. EDT). The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard Aqua captured this visible image that showed a rounded Tropical Cyclone Victoria with strong thunderstorms around the center of circulation, moving through the Southern Indian Ocean.
According to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), Victoria is in an area of low wind shear and warm waters. However, an approaching mid-latitude trough of low pressure will increase wind shear and as Victoria heads further south, the waters will cool.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has signed into law a package of tax breaks and spending designed to give the nation a jobs boost.
In a sunny Rose Garden ceremony, Obama said the legislation will help the private sector start hiring again.
It is the first of several jobs measures promised by Democrats this year. Obama called it essential but "but by no means enough."
The legislation includes about $18 billion in tax breaks and $20 billion into highway and transit programs.
There's plenty of skepticism that the new law will do much to actually create jobs. Optimistic estimates predict the tax break could generate perhaps 250,000 jobs through the end of the year, but that would be just a sliver of the 8.4 million jobs lost since the start of the recession.

A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye. When a cataract forms, light cannot pass easily through the lens, so vision becomes blurred. Cataracts usually develop with aging, but they can also be caused by:
Most cataracts are associated with aging develop over a period of years. Other cataracts, especially in younger people and in people with diabetes, may progress rapidly over a few months and cause vision to worsen quickly.
If your vision is only slightly blurry, a change in your eyeglass prescription may improve your vision for a while.
A through examination by your ophthalmologist can detect the presence and degree of cataract, as well as any other conditions that may be causing blurred vision or discomfort.
Surgery is the only way to remove the cataract. Sometimes, however, if symptoms are mild, a change of eyeglasses may be all that is needed for you to function more comfortably. There are no medications, dietary supplements, exercises or optical devices that have been shown to prevent or cure cataracts.
Wearing sunglasses that screen out ultraviolet (UV) light rays or wearing regular eyeglasses with a clear, anti-UV coating that offers protection from excessive sunlight may help prevent or slow the progression of cataracts.
Surgery is performed when cataracts cause enough loss of vision to interfere with daily activities.
In cataract surgery, the cloudy lens of the eye is surgically removed, and a new, clear plastic lens is inserted in the eye. Until recently, local anesthesia was injected into the tissue around the eye, and the incision was made in the white part of the eye. Patients wore an eye patch for a day, and then vision would slowly clear.
At the LifeBridge Health Krieger Eye Institute our physicians use an advanced surgical technique that reduces the operating time, healing time, and offers immediate improvement in vision. It's called Topical Clear Corneal Cataract Surgery.
With Topical Clear Corneal Cataract Surgery, a small incision is made in the cornea (clear part) of the eye. Only drops are required to anesthetize the eye. The cataract is removed, and a plastic lens is inserted that unfolds inside the eye. Because the incision is so small, no stitches are usually required. You can see right away and can go home with a clear shield to protect your eye.
After cataract surgery, you may return almost immediately to all but the most strenuous activities. You will use eye drops as your ophthalmologist directs. Several postoperative visits are needed to check on the progress of your eye as it heals.
Cataract surgery is a highly successful procedure. The risk of any serious complications from the surgery is extremely low.
Every case is different, but most cataract patients can benefit from this type of treatment. While this technique requires more surgical skill, it's far better for the patient.
Our physicians at the LifeBridge Health Krieger Eye Institute are not only specialists in ophthalmology, each of them also has additional specialized training. Our specialists work together to cover all aspects of eye treatment. So you have the convenience of one community location with access to a nationally-recognized team of board-certified physicians. Using the most advanced technology, combined with compassionate care, the entire staff of Krieger Eye Institute is here to help you realize the best vision possible.
