Cutting out cheese
Did it help you? I'm considering it.
I cut out all dairy for a week with no benefit. Maybe I should have gone longer but it was too restrictive for me. Remember that everyone is different and my results will not predict yours.
If cutting out cheese is to "secretly" cut out calories I would not bother. If you think you might have an allergy/ sensitivity then by all means try it for a week. I have been without cheese for some weeks not by design but just the way it happened. I did not see any difference.
A couple of years ago I eliminated dairy for a couple of months, and it really got the scale moving again.
My dh was stalled and I suggested he eliminate dairy, and now he's losing weight. It's definitely worth a try.
We eliminated cream, yogurt, and cheese, but not butter.
it is worth a try. everyone has different body reactions to dairy. you might find it helps, or no difference.
I tried it for a 'short' time, like 3 days and I didn't notice anything other than I was miserable :) I am a cheese hound and without in on LC I swear I couldn't survive.
I do get down the scale with cheese, I just gotta watch that amt. I stick to about 3-4 oz. per day tops.
Helped me stopping it , I love cheese but it constipated me and the high sodium content made me retain water. Since stopping it I lost faster.
Losing cheese would not make this a sustainable woe for very long for me, I would hate this and it would become a DIET To me.
It helped me immensely.
I ended up eliminating dairy completely several months ago. Any food that makes me crave it & eat it uncontrollably cannot be good for me.
My nutrition is very clean & mostly unprocessed. Eliminating dairy was the last piece of the puzzle. I am finally at peace with food. I will not ever allow anything or anyone to mess with my peace again.
The best way to know is to try it for a couple of weeks. See how you feel without it and if the scale moves faster. For me like others here, taking cheese out would be too restrictive to maintain. If it's slowing me down, then I'll lose weight slower. That's a decision I made long ago on this woe, regarding how much I'm willing to cut out.
But I'm still losing steadily if not quickly, so I don't think I have huge issues w/dairy. As others have noted, they do and did, and cutting it out helped them move the scale.
There's also the option of cutting DOWN on cheese w/out cutting it out. There's never any easy or quick answers I've found, just trial and error to find what works.
I eat dairy -- cream, cheese, full fat yogurt -- but never go over 4 oz a day.
Cheese is easy to overeat, imo, because it is just there is the frig ready to eat without prep. But it's not a trigger for me and I like the variety and taste it offers. So as long as I continue to lose it stays in my woe. If/when I stall, I'll reconsider.
Stopping dairy enabled me to lose the last 10-15 lbs. I did tend to overdo it and my original low carb plan cautioned against more than an ounce or two per day as I recall, if one needs to lose weight.
It took me a couple of weeks to get past a deep sadness about giving it up, but then I was fine. LOL Withdrawal.
The closer I stick to just meat and veggies and plenty of fat is ok, the better I keep weight off.
I'll remember that girondet.
Mind saying how much you have lost?
No, actually I had to start eating more cheese (raw) to improve my digestion and ultimately keep from overeating. Cheese is a low carb, high fat protein source. Excellent choice for protein for LCers.
As I suspect you can tell from all these replies, this is an entirely an individual issue.
I tested my own tolerance for dairy based entirely on my food sensitivities --I.e., I was losing fine eating cheese,but I experienced some gastro issues. I did two 'elimination' diets--one for dairy and one for gluten--and I discovered that I was best off eliminating both. I eat butter, but no other dairy.
As others have noted, the only other time I avoid a specific food is when it is a trigger for me to overheat.
I lost 5 lbs a month (on average) for 6 months, then hit a stall for a year and a half. My consumption of dairy kept going up and I struggled not to gain, beginning to eat more without being satisfied. Dropping dairy helped that. Especially cheese.
It's worth a try if you're stalled.
Giving up dairy cleared my up my lifelong acne. That is reason enough for me to leave it out of my diet. Can't say that I lost much weight because of it though.
I mix up my cheese and tend to not have it every day. I may have some cheddar once a week, maybe twice, cheese sticks I may have twice a week, Brie I will have some weeks when I am not eating cheddar, and cream cheese ( which isn't a cheese really?) I will have several times a week. I love cheese, but since low carbing, I don't crave it all the time like I used to, nor do I want to eat as much as I did before. Now cream...oh my, heavy cream in coffee! I know eventually I will have to cut down on that, but I think the fat has actually helped me slowly continue to lose. We're all such individuals though!
LC is already too restrictive, I can give up sugar, bread, rice, potatoes, corn and processed foods but do not ask me to give up dairy. I love my cheeses. I do have it in moderation and not everyday.
If you have a food sensitivity, you'll actually crave that food...
Cheese is one of those for me. If I can go without it for two weeks it's like giving up smoking. Woo hoo! I'm free! I can't believe cheese just seems like any other food to me now! Take it or leave it. I'm totally in control. It's no longer a big deal. One little piece won't hurt... and I'm off again.
Note, it's not that I overeat it. I just love it. Strangely a lot. And I also love legumes, which I'm allergic to. Probably related. I've read it has something to do with your body getting used to the immune reaction and feeling off without it.
I do lose faster without cheese.
I have given it up for weight loss runs here and there. After reading about vitamin k2, I am eating a small amount daily. I can easily get out of control if I am not careful with it.
I will cut it out again if I need to. It does help.
Thanks for all of your input. Something is making me not lose and I just can't find it so I think I am going to try it for a week starting on Wednesday - I'll keep you updated!
Chris Kresser has a good article on K2 (comes up easily on google search).
I can't remember the original source for why gouda is one of the highest sources of K2, but I remember it because I love gouda cheese!
I started reading about K2 when a research study came out a few months ago indicating K2 may help prevent Parkinson's Disease. Then I read it helps prevent cancer.
I couldn't live this lifestyle without eating cheese - as a vegetarian it is my only real source of protein. I love love love cheese - it makes everything taste better!
When I cut out dairy I did lose noticeably easier/quicker. But honestly, I'm just not willing to keep doing that. I love my cheese way too much to go without it and if I'm going to make this a long term way of eating I have to be happy with it.
I've seen posts from people that got stalled by cheese but I don't have that problem.
Still getting to have cheese is one of the main reasons I chose to go low carb. I lost 90 pounds eating cheese and stalled out before losing the last ten pounds. Those last ten pounds might come off if I gave up cheese, but I am just not willing to. I am okay with being just a few pounds overweight if I can still enjoy what I eat. Now if I were still 100 pounds overweight, it would be a different story.
I agree with Ocean, I gave up cheese to shed the last few pounds for my goal. It worked, but as soon as I started eating it again a few pounds came back. I`d rather have a few extra pounds as long as I can have my beloved cheese. That being said, when I was losing consistently during my journey I was extremely strict.
I tried to give it up, but that only lasted a couple of days! I don't use it for a snack any more and limit it to meals or salads. I'm limited on food I will eat and absolutely was eating to much cheese and pork rinds!

Hotel Olympik Tristar, Prague
Rooms: 220
Reviews - Hotel Olympik Tristar
- Age Group:
- From: Turkey
- Traveller type: Family Traveller
- Age Group: 26 - 30
- From: United Kingdom
- Traveller type: Young Couple
·Requested a double room and got a twin room
·Broken air conditioning throughout most of the hotel no air con in bedrooms. The weather over the last week was unbelievably hot, rising close to 30 degrees. Complained about the lack of air con but nothing was done.
·Lots of noise from nearby construction sites
·The pillows resembled a beany toy that had lost most of its stuffing had to bunch into a ball to prop my head up at night
·Mini bar fridge radiated lots of heat and barely kept contents above room temperature. Complained about this but nothing was done.
·The shower holder was broken
·Only soap provided no shower gels, lotions, etc.
·Voices coming through the ventilation system scared the living daylights out of me in the bathroom one day
·The in-room safe is accessed using your room key which the staff have copies of to clean your room, etc.
·No outside area to hang out in if you wanted to enjoy the sun
·Views' from the hotel are of other hotels, construction sites, wasteland and industrial towers
·Fire alarm went off before an event at the hotel this was not a routine alarm test!
·The breakfast consisted of bowls of natural yoghurt (with preserves), cereals, small crusty rolls, brown bread, salami, cheese, boiled eggs, (dry) cakes, hot dogs, apples, and orange pieces EVERY DAY. If you got there early you may see some watermelon. Saw some kiwi fruit once
·Cold' drinks (which were warm) consisted of water, orange concentrate solution, and a red drink, which we never worked out quite what it was
·One day we saw staff pouring liquid from a vat into the coffee drinks canisters - not encouraging!
·The leftover food from a bench press competition banquet was served at breakfast the following morning
·There is a fine of 10 euros if you take food from the food hall. There is also a fine for removing cutlery from the food hall
·Crockery was chipped
·Drinks at reception were ridiculously expensive 90 kc for a can of coke
·Dinner looked so awful, and had such a bad review from fellow guests that my boyfriend and I avoided it
·I only ever saw the souvenir shop open a couple of times while I was there
·Never saw the bowling open alley during our entire stay
Good points
·Rooms were clean and cleaners were friendly
·Reasonably priced restaurants nearby hotel. According to other guests, food in nearby hotels was OK too.
·Hotel near tram stops and between 2 metro stations. Only approx. 10 mins away from the centre of Prague
·Albert supermarket nearby
Overall, it was the lack of air con during such hot weather that really let this hotel down for me, and the lack of variety at breakfast. Could have put up with it for a short stay, but was definitely a poor experience for 8 nights. It was definitely over-priced for what we paid for. 2 Canadian guests looked into flying home early because they could not take any more of the hotel! Will definitely stay elsewhere when I next visit Prague.

Top Local Tips for Prague
Prague and others.. Prague is a attractive city. Enjoy it! You can go to Petrin Hill to look on the city from tower. From Prague you can go to nice places ie. Karlovy Vary or Cesky Krumluv from Florenc Bus Terminal.
If you want to go outside of Prague (Like Terezin or Karlovy vary) Yo don't need to pay much to your travel agency.. You should go to the Florenc which is intercity bus depot.. You can buy a ticket from the ticket office... If you wanna go to Karlovy vary ,the ticket is just about 130 kc = about 5 euro (i recommend "student agency buses") ,if you want to go to the Terezin,the ticket is about 80 kc =3,5 euro (student agency buses don't go there,you have to buy ticket from ticket office inside the building there)

Twin-Turbo, Coyote-Powered Lincoln Mark VIII
--by Phillip Ferrini
Here's something you don't see too often: a twin-turbo, Coyote-powered Lincoln Mark VIII that pulls like a big dog on the top end. We don't know much in the way of details beyond what we can see, which is a pair of sizeable turbos hanging off a Coyote with a Cobra Jet intake manifold, but all we know is, when the owner pops the hood, our jaws drop.
He actually popped the hood because of a problem, which looks like a leaky oil feed line on a turbo (the likely culprit of teething issues associated with a newly assembled combo), but it's a wicked sleeper nonetheless. Forgive me for posting a street racing video. I don't condone it in any way, shape or form, but I just had to share this cool car. And on that note, if anyone has any additional info on this sleeper, please send it our way.

It sounds like it could be your paint. What are you using? Like lolarx8 suggested, food coloring gels + alcohol work well. Sometimes I paint with airbrush colors (w/o the airbrush, you know?) straight from the container. You want a color agent plus something that evaporates quickly like clear alcohol (e.g. vodka, Everclear).

Thanks Brand. I've been doing an OS update all morning. I am very glad to be done with that. My primary source is the CIA World Factbook, but a very close second is the UN LOCODE data base here : http://www.unece.org/cefact/locode/ This was not on your UN Data list. In ACCESS, there are Country, Subdivision, and Port Codes (77k Ports). Do you have any suggestions on formats which might make the files more easily accessible for Spotfire ? Right now I have the source in OO Base (which has very fancy SQL available) I dump queries to a spreadsheet and then PERL it to XML. Does the data update automatically (or nearly so) ? There are "only" 106 local capitals involved for the NAFTA partners, so I think I'll make a page with sunlight (daylight) calculations, as a way to avoid (until next week) the tedious work of verifying the "My World" files :o) --Gannon --- On Fri, 10/29/10, email@example.com <email@example.com> wrote: From: firstname.lastname@example.com <firstname.lastname@example.com> Subject: Re: My NAFTA To: "Gannon Dick" <firstname.lastname@example.com> Cc: "W3C eGov Interest Group" <firstname.lastname@example.com> Date: Friday, October 29, 2010, 5:50 AM Please see http://gaininitiative.wik.is/Gannon_Dick firstname.lastname@example.com wrote: ----- To: W3C eGov Interest Group <firstname.lastname@example.com> From: Gannon Dick <email@example.com> Sent by: email@example.com Date: 10/28/2010 05:44PM Subject: My NAFTA All three countries (Canada [1], Mexico [2] and United States [3]) are posted.Received on Friday, 29 October 2010 18:24:15 GMT

About the Book
Set in a logging town on the lawless Pacific coast of Washington State at the turn of the twentieth century, a spellbinding novel of fate and redemption—told with a muscular lyricism and filled with a cast of characters Shakespearean in scope—in which the lives of an ill-fated family are at the mercy of violent social and historical forces that tear them apart.
Keen to make his fortune, Jacob Ellstrom, armed with his medical kit and new wife, Nell, lands in The Harbor—a mud-filled, raucous coastal town teeming with rough trade pioneers, sawmill laborers, sailors, and prostitutes. But Jacob is not a doctor, and a botched delivery exposes his ruse, driving him onto the streets in a plunge towards alcoholism. Alone, Nell scrambles to keep herself and their young son, Duncan, safe in this dangerous world. When a tentative reunion between the couple—in the company of Duncan and Jacob's malicious brother, Matius—results in tragedy, Jacob must flee town to elude being charged with murder.
Years later, the wild and reckless Duncan seems to be yet another of The Harbor's hoodlums. His only salvation is his overwhelming love for Teresa Boyerton, the daughter of the town's largest mill owner. But disaster will befall the lovers with heartbreaking consequences.
And across town, Bellhouse, a union boss and criminal rabble-rouser, sits at the helm of The Harbor's seedy underbelly, perpetuating a cycle of greed and violence. His thug Tartan directs his pack of thieves, pimps, and murderers, and conceals an incendiary secret involving Duncan's mother. As time passes, a string of calamitous events sends these characters hurtling towards each other in an epic collision that will shake the town to its core.
Washington Territory, 1886
Jacob and Nell Ellstrom step from ship to shore and are struck dumb by the sight of their new home—the Harbor, a ragged township of mud streets and windowless shacks. In the years to come this will be known as one of the busiest and most dangerous ports in the world, and with Jacob's station as the only town physician, prosperity and respect soon rain down on the Ellstroms. Then their son, Duncan, is born, and these are grand days, busy and full of growth. But when a new physician arrives, Jacob is revealed as an impostor, a fraud, and he flees, leaving his wife and son to fend for themselves.
Years later, on a fated Fourth of July picnic, Duncan Ellstrom falls in love. Her name is Teresa Boyerton, and her father owns the largest sawmill in the Harbor. Their relationship is forbidden by class and by circumstance, because without Jacob there to guide him, Duncan has gone to work for Hank Bellhouse, the local crime boss. Now, if Duncan wants to be with Teresa, he must face not only his past, but the realities of a dark and violent world and his place within it.
Told from various points of view, Brian Hart's novel follows the evolution of the Harbor from a mudstamp outpost to a city that rivals the promise of San Francisco. The Bully of Order is a meditation on progress, love, and identity; a spellbinding novel of fate and redemption—told with a muscular lyricism and filled with a cast of characters Shakespearean in scope—where everyone is as much at the mercy of the weather as they are of the times.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Brian Hart's THE BULLY OF ORDER does what only the best works of fiction can do: it brilliantly imagines those parts of life that history all too often fails to record. This is a thoroughly engrossing story told in mesmerizing prose. I highly recommend it." —Kevin Powers, author of The Yellow Birds
"After a relatively quiet debut, Brian Hart has come back with a stunning second novel-a work would qualify as a lifetime achievement for most writers. You do not have to read very far to see that Brian Hart has vaulted squarely into the first rank of American novelists." —Philipp Meyer, author of The Son
"Brian Hart writes like a dream. In this haunting, often brutal tale of failed fathers and abandoned sons, set in the logging industry a century ago, are scenes of aching beauty." —James Magnuson, author of The Hounds of Winter
"Mesmerizing…Hart has conjured a singular, searing world. When you step into this novel you submit to its dream… you believe in his large gift that leaves you stunned and breathless. A wonderful, unique portrait of a particular landscape I now see anew." —Amanda Coplin, author of The Orchardist
"An epic novel of violence, depravity, and mayhem…Brian Hart writes like Cormac McCarthy in overdrive. What talent, what nerve, what a wondrous and spellbinding book. THE BULLY OF ORDER is part creation myth, part apocalyptic thriller, and it's peopled with charlatans, swindlers, and murderers who will haunt your dreams." —John Dufresne, author of No Regrets, Coyote
"Hart's sense of place is brilliant…There are dazzling characterizations…[and] a dense, deep and illuminating narrative…of greed and ambition and of fathers and sons…Think the brutal realities of McCarthy's Blood Meridian set among the primeval forests of the Pacific Northwest frontier." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Not a writer of half-measures, Hart brilliantly re-creates the rugged life in the Pacific Northwest logging camps of the 1890s. A riveting, powerful tale." —Library Journal
"Brilliant… Hart paints a vivid picture of the brutality and venality of the old Northwest Territories." —Austin American-Statesman
"THE BULLY OF ORDER possesses a strange magnetism…its irresistible, multi-layered plotline will tug you all the way through a story that captures the gritty lawlessness of the Northwest's beginnings." —High Country News
"A brilliant second novel… Hart's prose is dense and lyrically savage." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Ambitious and beautifully harsh . . . Hart's stunning language builds into a textured and wonderfully thorny book. . . . Its huge scope and panoramic sympathies make it compelling and immersive...Bully of Order warmed and saddened and wondered me like the life of Huckleberry Finn." —Dallas Morning News

For the past two years fast-food workers around the world have been asking for two things: $15 per hour and the right to unionize without retaliation. The movement began in New York City, but it quickly spread across the Midwest, Pacific Northwest, and even through the historically anti-union South.
Their argument is that $7.73 (the average hourly wage for a fast-food worker) is not a living wage. The median fast-food worker is about 28-years-old, and more than a fourth of those employed by fast-food chains have children. 70% work part time with something called "zero hour contracts." This means employees are not guaranteed a set number of hours during any given week, and can be penalized with hour reduction for refusing to stay late or work on a day off, calling in sick, or participating in protests. This makes workers extremely dependent on their employers, as well as vulnerable to exploitation.

Broner doesnt need to be a prick
I understand why hes trying to do it because of the success mayweather had... but May had to be a brash douche because his style was quite defensive and it turned off casual fans. Broner in all the fights ive seen him in has been very entertaining, he has a defence obviously, but he is a brutal puncher who has the killer instict to walk down and punish hurt fighters. I reckon he could set himself up as a more SRL type personality and make loads more in sponsership deals etc. At the moment it seems a little forced to me.

Facebook's stock: The bleeding just won't stop
Suddenly, Instagram is a $761M deal. And Zuck? He's lost $4.7B in six trading days.
Ouch!Shares of Facebook dropped another four percent today, leaving the company's stock price just above $20 a share -- almost half where its shares debuted in a mid-May IPO. And let's not even talk about the $45 a share Facebook hit on its first day of trading. That seems like a distant memory. The news hasn't changed since Facebook's latest wave of selling, which began when Zynga spooked investors with its lousy earnings report last Wednesday and continued with Facebook's own unspectacular earnings . Fear of mobile. Fear of a slowdown in user growth. And, in a sense, just fear. News that the some big boys have dumped the stock hasn't helped. The Wall Street Journal did some digging and found that Fidelity, one of Facebook's largest institutional investors, sold some 1.9 million shares across 21 of its mutual funds in June.

Hôtel Particulier Montmartre
Location: Paris's 18th arrondissement, perhaps its most romantic neighborhood
Andrew Harper's take: "This handsome late-18th-century house, now the five-room Hôtel Particulier Montmartre (view slideshow), is hidden away in a little-known part of Montmartre that is every bit as elegant and worldly as better-known districts such as the 6th or 7th arrondissements. A perfect choice for those who want to get away from the madding crowds and who also appreciate contemporary design, the Hôtel Particulier is one of the most romantic addresses I've found in Paris for many years. I woke from a nap one Indian summer afternoon here and listened to the sound of the boules cracking at the Montmartre boulodrome (bocce court) just outside. No place in Paris better channels what the city was like during its Belle Époque heyday."
Cost: Junior suite from $540

Treehouse breaks the mold, county's rules
The moon told Pete Nelson where to build a treehouse. He and his wife, Judy, were visiting the property they had recently bought on the...
Seattle Times staff reporter
The moon told Pete Nelson where to build a treehouse.
He and his wife, Judy, were visiting the property they had recently bought on the Raging River near Fall City.
As they looked across the wooded hillside, a circle of moonlight illuminated the trunk of an old-growth Sitka spruce. "That's a sign," Nelson said when he awoke the next morning. "I have to build in this tree."
Now Nelson, perhaps the world's best-known promoter, designer and builder of treehouses, is in trouble with King County code-enforcement officials for wrapping an elegant one-room house around the spruce, 20 feet above the ground.
They say Nelson built the house in a flood-prone area where construction is prohibited, and have ordered him to tear down, by June 30, the structure he calls the Temple of the Blue Moon. He's appealing the order.
Nelson's situation has some Metropolitan King County Council members wondering if they should make treehouses legal in "critical areas" such as river buffers and steep hillsides where all construction is now banned. Their decision could help define the vague legal status of a new generation of luxury perches built by adults for adults.
Reached by an "Indiana Jones"-style suspension bridge, the rustic red-cedar exterior of Nelson's treehouse echoes the lines of the Parthenon. The interior showcases yellow-cedar window frames, walnut floors, a walnut-and-cherry cabinet, a queen-size bed with a frame of salvaged redwood, an incinerator toilet and windows with a luscious view of foliage, river and deer.
If built for a paying customer, such a treehouse would cost about $100,000.
The county Department of Development and Environmental Services (DDES) ordered Nelson to stop work on the house in 2006, but he decided to keep building. "I'm never going to get anybody to agree with this kind of structure if they can't see it," he figured. "I'll finish it knowing there's a risk they'll make it come down."
Nelson admits the treehouse isn't legal because it's within 165 feet of the river, but he thinks the law should be changed to allow treehouses as an environmentally benign, low-impact use.
The Nelsons, who have lived in Fall City for 14 years, bought the nearly four-acre Raging River property in 2006 with the intention of operating a bed-and-breakfast that could accommodate small retreats, group dinners, treehouse-building workshops and the occasional wedding. They would put up guests in treehouses as well as in a conventional house on the land they call TreeHouse Point.
To DDES officials, the immediate issue is simple: Nelson violated laws that protect environmentally sensitive shorelines and keep people safe during floods so powerful they change the shape of rivers.
"You can build treehouses. That's not the issue. It's the location of them," said DDES Director Stephanie Warden.
Series of violations
The Nelsons first attracted attention from the county after cutting down two cottonwood trees Nelson feared would drop limbs or topple over onto his driveway. They didn't have a permit to cut trees in a river buffer, and county inspectors paid a visit.
Over the following months, inspectors found other violations, among them enlarging a shop building to include a small apartment, and opening a bed-and-breakfast and an events center without meeting required conditions.
As "a spontaneous guy," Nelson says, he was too impatient to wait for permits for the bed-and-breakfast. "I was going to beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission. ... I made a mistake and I'm anxious to correct that."
Youthful-looking and sandy-haired at 45, Nelson has written four books on treehouses since 1994 that have drawn a growing number of kids and adults into the forest canopy. His first book, "Treehouses: The Art and Craft of Living Out on a Limb," has sold 150,000 copies, and he is now writing a fifth book. When Nelson, a commercial homebuilder who first built treehouses as a child in New Jersey, got his first book contract, he assembled a team to build a circular, wood-shingled structure high in a Douglas fir on a friend's property on Salt Spring Island, B.C.
$1 million business
In 1997, he and Jake Jacob, a timber-frame builder and wood recycler, formed TreeHouse Workshop. Since Nelson went full-time with the business three years ago, the partners and their small team of carpenters have built 100 treehouses, from the simple to the complex, in 30 states. Last year the company — the largest for-profit treehouse builder in the country — grossed $1 million, he says.
People who build treehouses for fun or profit rarely seek government approval.
Nelson, whose appeal is to go before a hearing examiner, says it's embarrassing to find himself on the wrong side of the law but adds, "It's kind of an outlaw's game; it's got that Huck Finn thing to do with it."
He leaves it to his customers to decide whether to apply for a building permit but advises them to at least make sure their neighbors have no objections. DDES chief Warden said she isn't aware of any treehouse in the county built with a permit.
The County Council amended the law last year so building permits are no longer required for treehouses no larger than 200 square feet (or about 14 feet by 14 feet) "used for play and similar uses." Nelson last year framed, but hasn't completed, a house in a cedar at TreeHouse Point that appears to comply with the law.
At 256 square feet, however, the Temple of the Blue Moon is big enough to require a permit. It's also in a no-build river buffer and "channel migration area" where officials believe the river could carve a new bed. Nelson agrees the treehouse is within the buffer but says his own survey shows it's outside the channel migration area. (He estimates the tree it's built on is more than 300 years old.)
Interest on council
Nelson's land-use consultant, Paul Carkeek, claiming that treehouses have no environmental impact, has lobbied the County Council to allow them in critical areas on a trial basis. Democratic Councilmembers Bob Ferguson and Larry Phillips have responded that they will study the issue. Republican Kathy Lambert, of Redmond, who represents Fall City, is enthusiastic about the idea.
After visiting Nelson's Temple of the Blue Moon, Lambert told her husband she wants to live in a treehouse. "Treehouses are cool," she said. "It's very refreshing, it's very peaceful, very sustainable, very healthy. I don't think that option should be taken away."
Nelson would like to build up to 10 treehouses in his woods. He points to a huge Douglas fir loggers left behind a century ago. He envisions a house accessible by a wheelchair ramp.
"What I see is getting people in wheelchairs up into the canopy," he says. "That's the ultimate dream. It gives me goose bumps."
It's a dream that, under current county law, can't happen on a hillside so close to a pristine river.
He won't tear down the Temple of the Blue Moon, though, as long as he has hope the County Council and county executive will legalize it.
"It's about treehouses," he says, "it's not about Pete and Judy. It's about being allowed to enjoy that kind of property. ... For that to be taken away from all of us seems a little bit draconian. They're treehouses, for crying out loud."

Well after a good couple of years of just jack squat, I've finally resurrected my fat behind.
So I just minding my own business, cruising around Deviantart when I stumbled across a story with an interesting premise to it. Wrap your brain around this; a special zoo where scientist have created a serum that can transform folks into any kind of creature in the world! Heck, even prehistoric beasts from 10,000,00 B.C. are available for those of you who are feeling a little curious about what life is like as a completely different species. So yeah, people go to this place as a sort of vacation area and hang out as animals for either a week, or even a few years give er take.
I was so interested that I asked the author if I could borrow this idea and write some stories of my own in the same universe. She said it as cool and so here I am, back from the dead, and ready to actually put this account to some use for once.
Now the only difference between my version and hers' will be the inclusion of some "crossover characters"; you'll see what I mean in the first chapter when I've got it ready.
For those of you who are interested enough to see how this works here's a link to the guide rules of the Fox Serum story: grapehyacinth.deviantart.com/a…
Well that's it for me now. Catch you folks later when I, hopefully, have something to show off on my page!

A Rock Hill church was vandalized and robbed late last week, according to a York County sheriff's office report.
Deputies responded to an alarm at the Cel River Church of God on Cel River Road around 2 a.m. Friday, the report stated.
The front doors of the church appeared to have been pried open and items were "disturbed." A black and silver Yamaha drum set was missing, although several of the foot pedals were left behind.
There were tire tracks in the parking lot of the church and a piece of the drum set was nearby.
The pastor, who lives next door to the church, said he didn't hear any noises during the incident

Hello! I have two beautiful daughters age 5 and 2 1/2. I experienced a miscarriage in July. We started trying again right after I got my first period and we just found out we're due in August. I feel my heart racing every time I think about the pregnancy. I've scheduled to see my doctor the second week in January, I'll be 10 weeks by then. I don't feel very different from the last pregnancy, which ended in a miscarriage, and

Hey Janet, I know how you feel. Its totally normal. Ur prob gonna check the TP every trip to bathrm for a while. I do too! The good news is that early m/c is extremely common, while multiple m/c's are not. That m/c is likely to be the only one u ever experience, unless u plan on having several more pregnancies. Its statistics. Barring other health problems, most pregnancies end with a beautiful healthy baby. I have fertility problems which suck, but right now is awesome bc my RE is doing tons of u/s and bloodwork, which is constantly reassuring. Otherwise, I think id be a basket case. Its unfortunate that m/c steals some of the joy away. Keep ur head up. Statistically, ur gonna be fine!

I purchased my 2001 Sequoia in Feb 2001 and currently have just over 127k miles. During my
ownership i have never had any mechanical problems (thank God) and have had only a few cosmetic issues( had to replace a/c adjustment knob, rear hatch door latch, driver's side seat adj knob, and currently rear window not working/not sure if i will fix)Overall, it has been very reliable vehicle and still attracts plenty looks and complimentary comments to this day(20 in. chrome rims/ silver vehicle). Getting ready to invest a lil money in areas that are beginning to show some wear(exterior window moulding & seats .

2001 Toyota Sequoia SUV SR5 2WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 4A)
On December 28, 2011, I brought my 2001, Toyota Sequoia in to be serviced for rear brakes and to get the oil changed.
My certified mechanic called me at home and strongly suggested that I come in to see what he discovered while my vehicle was up on the lift. So I stopped in to take a look. He showed me extensive rust holes in the middle of the frame welds on both the passenger and driver's side. He also pointed out that the rear differential case has severe rust damage. He strongly urged me to stop driving the vehicle and stated that it is unsafe in its present condition and that he has never seen such extensive frame rust damage on a vehicle this well taken care of. The drive train, outer body, and interior are in mint condition.
I also have always made it a point to power wash the salt (calcium chloride) off the under carriage after driving in the Northeast after snow or ice storms, when salt is used on our roads.
I contacted my local Toyota dealership and they gave me the phone number to Toyota Headquarters.
The end result was, they were sorry to hear that I had a rotted out frame and suggested that I get rid of the vehicle because there is currently no recall for the Sequoias.
Although, after going online at the Toyota forum I found out that they're are over 300 consumers with the same type of issue with their Sequoia frames in our state, so I do not stand alone.
I am floored that a company like Toyota, that prides itself in being committed to safety does not care and will not take ownership when they knowingly used cheap Japanese steel to build these faulty frames. I currently have three young children and this is my primary vehicle. I cannot afford to throw $8 K away (Kelly Blue Book) on this vehicle.

2001 Toyota Sequoia SUV SR5 2WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 4A)
What a quality ride! Bought it used (certified) and have never had a problem, and it rides like a car. Recommend you buy good quality driving tires like Goodyear Forteras - they made all the difference in comfort, handling and mileage and they wear so much better than OTR tires. Unfortunately, you don't realize you're going 85 mph until it's too late (gotten my share of tickets even with a radar detector)! Just put her on cruise and enjoy! My only issue with her is the anti-slip/TRAC system: I've had it start pulling in wet road conditions but think it was perhaps because of a couple of under-inflated tires.

2001 Toyota Sequoia SUV SR5 2WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 4A)
I value quality and reliability above all else, price, feature, comfort etc. Both consumer data and experience convinced me Toyota is the best here. So it is with high expecatations for a long life vehicle I bought my 3rd Toyota, this Sequoia. After 5 yrs of dealer only scheduled maintenance and 100K mi, I am very, very disappointed. In reverse chronological order: transmission failed 100K, brakes replaced 5 times (even with total system replacement at 60K), fuel gauge failed 80K, dashboard ignition key receiver failed 70K, dashboard drive gear LED out 70k, traction control oversensitive and grinds 50k. Did not meet expectations of Toyota quality.

2001 Toyota Sequoia SUV SR5 2WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 4A)
My Sequoia is used for personal and business driving. People are always asking what vehicle is this, how do I like it, how is my fuel economy. I let them know it is a Toyota Sequoia, I love it, and I have 2 wheel drive, get 15-16 in town, 18-19 on the road. When I tell them it is a 2001, they cannot believe it. I pride myself on this vehicle and maintain this vehicle through the Toyota dealership. I have attended several business meetings and the majority want to ride in the Sequoia when we travel to restauarants or other areas. No doubt in my mind, this is the vehicle to own, even if it is a bit pricey. It is worth it !

Host Countries – The European Tour will visit 25 countries across five continents in 2012, each highlighting the rich diversity of the Tour. The host countries range from those where golf has been played for centuries, such as Scotland, to emerging markets such as those in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
Host Venues – The European Tour International Schedule comprises a minimum of 46 events, played over 49 different courses. Each Host Venue presents a unique test for the world's best golfers as The European Tour travels around the world. The Host Venues range from links to parkland, from deserts to mountains and from some of the oldest and most revered courses to new championship venues designed to test the very best.
European Tour Destinations – European Tour Destinations are world-class venues within the European Tour Properties network, offering a comprehensive range of facilities to both their members and guests. Their identities are closely aligned to The European Tour, creating a unique partnership that benefits both parties. The London Club in England was the first European Tour Destination.
European Tour Courses – The European Tour Courses brand offers the opportunity for golf venues to benefit from a world-class brand and focused operational and commercial support. European Tour Courses are likely to evolve in those countries where The European Tour does not have a high-priority real-estate strategy and in key, emerging golf markets.

They thoughfully provided a feedback form on the unsubscription page.
I gave them the following feedback
I am your customer, not your email punchbag!
It wasn't just because they sent multiple emails regarding a particular product
I was receiving multiple copies of the same email, from the multiple lists of theirs I had joined for various promotions over the last 18 months.
When you end up with 5 emails promoting the same thing over a 1 week period, fair enough.
When you receive 30 or more over the same period, it just gets a bit much, especially when some of the mailing lists were specifically joined as an affiliate for their products, and not as a customer.

Aviation experts, criminal investigators and soldiers have converged on an isolated patch of northern Mali to search for clues that might explain why an Air Algerie passenger jet fell from the sky in a storm and apparently disintegrated on impact.
French authorities said on Friday that the air disaster was probably the result of extreme bad weather, but they refused to exclude other possibilities without a full investigation.
All 118 people on board the plane, nearly half of them French, were killed. The passenger list also included other Europeans, Canadians and Africans. The six crew members were Spanish.
Investigators at the scene concluded the McDonnell Douglas MD-83 aircraft broke apart when it smashed into the ground early on Thursday, officials said, suggesting this meant it was unlikely to have been the victim of an attack.
"French soldiers who are on the ground have started the first investigations," French President Francois Hollande said. "Sadly, there are no survivors."
The plane was flying from Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso, to Algiers, Algeria, when it disappeared just 50 minutes after take-off.
One of plane's two "black boxes" - flight data and cockpit voice recorders- was found on Friday and sent to Gao, the northern Malian city where a contingent of French troops is based.
Video of the wreckage site taken by a soldier from Burkina Faso, the nation first on the scene, showed debris scattered over a desolate area dotted with scrubby vegetation.
There were bits of twisted metal but no identifiable parts such as the fuselage or tail, or victims' bodies.
Still-turbulent desert
Difficult access to the area and instability could hinder the investigation. Gao is in the heart of a still-turbulent desert and mountain area that fell under the control of rebels after a 2012 military coup.
French forces intervened in the West African country in January 2013 to battle al-Qaeda-linked fighters controlling the region.
The debris field to the south is in a concentrated area in the Gossi region near the border with Burkina Faso. The area is "in a zone of savannah and sand with very difficult access, especially in this rainy season," Laurent Fabius, French foreign minister, said.
It's too early to know "with absolute certitude" what caused the disaster, he said, but he noted major storms in the region.
The pilot of the jet had advised controllers in Niger that he needed to change routes because of a storm, Jean Bertin Ouedraogo, Burkina Faso transport minister, said on Thursday. Contact with the plane was then lost.
The Air Algerie crash was the third worldwide in the space of just eight days.
On July 17, a Malaysia Airlines plane was shot down in eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board.
A Taiwanese aircraft crashed in torrential rain in Taiwan on Wednesday, killing 48.

SD Pheasant News and Updates
2/6/2011 - The 2011 South Dakota pheasant hunting season does not start for a while, but the time to book is now. The prime weekends are filling up fast, so we encourage you to reserve your spot/lodge as soon as possible. Last season was phenomenal for bird numbers and the weather was very cooperative. We can't predict the weather for the coming season, but we will make the prediction that our bird numbers should be even better than last year. Truly wild pheasants are pretty tough and it looks like they are handling the winter fairly well. Next season is shaping up to be another record year.
Again, if you are considering Double K for your 2011 South Dakota pheasant hunt, we recommend booking as soon as you can. We realize it can be tough getting a large group all on the same page, but we are here to help. Just let us know how we can help.
