Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greedMahatma Gandhi
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.Rabindranath Tagore
Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all things -- wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities. In a world that is cutting down its trees to build highways, losing its earth to concrete... babies are almost the only remaining link with nature, with the natural world of living things from which we spring.Eda J. Le Shan
Our earnest prayer is that God will graciously vouchsafe prosperity, happiness, and peace to all our neighbors, and like blessings to all the peoples and powers of the earthWilliam McKinley
The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water; but to walk on the earth.Chinese Proverb xxxx
Take time to think.. it is the source of power. Take time to play.. it is the secret of prepetual youth. Take time to read� it is the fountain of wisdom. Take time to pray.. it is the greatest power on earth. Take time to laugh� it is the music of the soul. Take time to give� it is too short a day to be selfish.Anon xx
I hold myself to be incapable of hating any being on earth. By a long course of prayerful discipline, I have ceased for over forty years to hate anybody. I know this is a big claim. Nevertheless, I make it in all humility.Mahatma Gandhi 1869
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.Thomas Jefferson
Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.Buddha
Justice, sir, is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together.Daniel Webster

A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth.George Bernard Shaw 1856
Death can show us the way, for when we know and understand completely that our time on this earth is limited, and that we have no way of knowing when it will be over, then we must live each day as if it were the only one we had.Elisabeth Kubler-Ross 1926

Princess mommy I am having one of those WTH more like WTH moments right now myself. Am none to happy with the scale. I am going to do a VLC and very low calorie day today.
B-egg beaters and 1 piece bacon, 1 carb and 90 calories
L-pork loin 8 oz, 0 carb and 200 calories
D-pork loin 8 oz, 0 carb and 200 calories
Total for the day, 1 carb and 490 calories hope that will get the scale moving today. If I need more calories It will come from chicken breast or more pork loin. Man I am pissed, I do at least a 3500 calorie difference each day and should lose a pound a day at the least if all these experts are correct which they apparently are not. Going to do a work out this morning and then go back this afternoon and do another one that should total 1600 calories at the gym, Plus going to sneak in a round of golf today f I can and walk that for another 1800 calorie burn if that does not get the scale moving I will remove more food and add more exercise until I break through. VENTING!!!

Good morning everyone! I am taking a scale break until Thursday. I can't deal with the up and down right now. I would love to reach my goal of 168 and I have been flirting up and down with it. I have some hormonal stuff going on, thus giving myself a break from the scale.
Today is a day to get sweaty- Pilates yesterday so a good sweat session is in order today.
I still need to watch portions, and keep up with the CO as it is helping keeping it all moving.
So that's the plan for now.
Good job everyone, Katie way to go, and not throw in the towel, so happy to see your success. For all who are stalled it'll break, it has to!!!!!!
Thanks for all of the support thus far this month- we have to do a March thread, I know I need it!!!!

Labmini that sounds like a good idea! I may need to do that myself! I Know that weight can flucuate day to day but Dang todays is crazy! Maybe I ate to much salad yesterday? But I wouldn't think to many Good veggies would cause the scale to go Up. Sometimes I feel like i'll Never reach my goal!

Good Morning
I will be starting a March thread at the end of the week if anyone is interested. I know I sure need it. I would love to get into onederland next month, but I think my real focus should be just to remain on plan for the month and do a better job of tracking again. Going up and down the same 3-4 pounds can't be good. I'm not whining, I'm just stating the facts. I'm doing it to myself and I take full responsibilty. Just writing it down so I can refer back to it later.

Good Morning!
Looking back over my stats the last two months, I can't believe how hard it is to take off one single pound, and yet, I could easily gain 2-3 pounds over night. This makes me even more determined to never go back to eating crap. I used to veg out in front of the TV at night with Doritos and then go for something sweet like ice-cream when I got sick of those. Now I watch TV and don't even think about food, because it's really not too fun to snack on deviled eggs and chicken in front of the tube.
So I think I might be over my meat and eggs fast for now, 6 days is about as much as I can manage. Last night I was craving sweets so bad, because normally I can have a piece of sugar free candy, and not being able to have even that, makes me want much worse things. Somehow I did not give in, but I'm taking no more chances. I normally do not EVER have cravings like that when just on induction, and so I will end my m/e fast today.
Can't wait to start the March challenge, although weighing in everyday can be emotionally challenging for me (understatement) I can't seem to help myself. I'm like a crack addict for the scale, even though
a bad weigh in can set the entire tone for my day
Harmsway: Count me in!!!
Avy: What's HCG? It seems to be working, your numbers look good
Cheshire: Hope you feel better, hun!
Kemp: Hang in there. It's just a stall. Maybe you'll get a big woosh soon! After all, nobody can keep putting out numbers like that forever, you just got spoiled dropping so much all the time that when it started to slow, it's frustrating you. I know, because this happened to me and I'm sure a lot more people. Just hang in there, you're doing great, and you know you are staying on plan, your body is just saying, "Woah there! Slow down a minute, buddy!"
Katiejo: Great job! Aren't you glad you didn't throw in the towel? Your poor boy going to the dentist-how old is he? I was going to tell you to treat him to a Mc Donalds ice-cream cone after, buts that counter productive, no? lol
Labmini: I feel ya! The scale is my friend/enemy wise choice to not weigh everyday, if you can manage (I cannot)
Passionatefire:Great job! You are so close to your goal. I think you've had a great month!
Yesterdays menu:
B: 2 scrambled eggs
L: Deviled eggs
D: Baked split chicken breasts, skin on
(Yesterday's almost menu: The choc chunk brownies I fed my 14 month old son, and the Breyers vanilla bean ice cream my SO drizzled Hershey's syrup over and ate in front of me. ALMOST.)

My son is 5, 6 April 4th. The dentist ended up doing 4 crowns, so all bottom molars are now capped. Poor baby.
We came straight home afterwards. He's pretty loopy from the meds they gave him and his mouth is numb. He's like a lil drunk he has me laughing!! Now off to cuddle with him in hopes that he can sleep through until the meds wear off.

I was on and off plan all week last week and then had a terrible weekend. We got snowed in and that really messed me up. Being stuck in the house just made it too easy to go for carb-y snacks. I'm up quite a bit, I'm sad to say, but hoping doing a meat and egg fast for a few days will get me back on track. Sigh...

Hi everyone,
It been a long time!! I think since September 2012, when I was having problems keeping up with low-carb due to my mother-in-law staying in my house and everyones eating habits turning around her.
But I am back and to stay at least until she gets back, we are seriously considering renting an appartment just for her, since out of three sons in the area she really can not stay with any of us. Sorry for her, but she alters every one mentally and not being in a good state of mind affects us in every way incluring in our eating styles.
Once we start getting closer to her arrival I give updates to that matter.
Weight wise I have a lot to catch up to do.. since of course I been terrible the last five months. (my kids would say, "it wasn't me")
I have not weighted my self yet.. I am very afraid to get hit by reality.. so I am going to start induction and after three day I will weight myself.. Girl Scout Promise..
It is so nice to see some familiar faces, mydear, dairyqueen, and some others.
Well, will start posting my menus tomorrow.. and I am so glad to be back with my lowcarb family!

Harmsway: I am in for March, but may take till may to reach onderland.
Katiejo: 3 days in onderland!!! Way to keep going I am so jealous. Good job.
Kizz: You are changing your habits at night and that is awesome. Meat and egg fast is brutal when you do it for more than a few days that is for sure. I tried to add nuts and stuff but that just stalled me out for 5 days. Way to go on avoiding worse things.
Bethany: Good for you getting right back on track.
Cheshire: 100 percent one day at a time!!! Way to go today.
Angel face: Glad to see you back, look forward to seeing your progress.
Well I have had the day to cool off from this mornings venting. I had to go to lunch today so I had to punt on the eats, but did great with 3 and a half naked tenders from Buffalo Wild wings, and 4 naked flats so I am still under 500 calories for the day according to the tracker. Dipped everything in mustard.
Yes I have now started tracking everything that enters my mouth, should have been doing it anyway. Had my wife bring the almonds that I bought and cheese to work so I would not snack on them while stalled. I will figure out this stall asap now that I am tracking everything. I hit the gym super hard today, did 77 minutes on the stair stepper for a 1086 calorie burn, 6.3 miles and 302 floors climbed. And just for good measure I am going back to the gym tonight with the wife and do it again, hopefully that, with only eating 800 or so calories, should result in some luck on the scale tomorrow. Man I sure am drinking lots of water today to stave off the hunger. But I am so results driven, I need to lose 3 pounds in the next 3 days to meet my second goal of 244.
And today is day 28 of the restart and I have lost 27 pounds. I can live with that, should have been 31 but who is counting. ME THATS WHO!!! LOL Well back to the gym.

Anyone here ever try a KeVita drink?? I saw this in the store last night and grabbed it. This whole time I've only ever drank water since starting this WOE. I was just curious if anyone has tried this or know how low carb friendly it is.

Hang in there Kemp and princessmommy!
Congrats Kizz and CheshireGirl!
The scale finally moved a tiny bit today! I am afraid to get too excited though. I had a bit of an issue with some SF gummy bears today and now I feel like someone blew up a balloon in my belly! This isn't my first encounter with SF gummy bears so you would think I would have learned my lesson! However, I was craving something sweet and figured a few SF gummy bears would satisfy my craving. However, a few handfuls later I knew it would be a long painful recovery. I was good today otherwise! :-)
Yesterday I went for a run (1.5 miles) and I did 2 miles on the treadmill. Tonight my belly hurts too much to even consider exercising! Sometimes having female/hormone induced cravings really sucks! I pray I make it through the rest of the week without any more mishaps!! :-)
B: chorizo/egg/cheese quiche on an oopsie roll, coffee with HWC x2
L: 2 chorizo/egg/cheese quiche, 2 oopsie rolls, sour cream
D: beef soup with celery and broccoli
S: way too many SF gummy bears :-(

Alibaba Chooses NYSE For IPO
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. on Friday chose the New York Stock Exchange for its potentially record-setting initial public offering, dealing a blow to the technology-heavy Nasdaq.
Alibaba said it would list under the ticker BABA, a reflection on both the company's name and the Chinese word for "eight," which is seen as a lucky number.
The company is expected to list just 12% of itself and may arrive with a valuation nearing $200 billion. That would make the sale bigger than Facebook (FB) $16 billion IPO in May 2012 and give Alibaba a market valuation above Facebook's $172 billion, Oracle's (ORCL) $178.8 billion, and IBM's (IBM) $182.6 billion.
The sale could lead to a windfall for Sunnyvale, Calif.'s Yahoo! (YHOO), owner of 24% of Alibaba.The decision continues a run of technology successes for the NYSE after Nasdaq, once synonymous with tech IPOs, received a black eye during troubles with the high-profile Facebook IPO. Last year, the NYSE hosted Twitter's debut as well as those of stock photo supplier Shutterstock and real estate site Trulia. Hangzhou, China-based Alibaba filed for its IPO in May and has spent much of 2014 paying nearly $6 billion to keep its pole position as China's biggest online retail site and to expand into new areas. This month, it agreed to buy one-third of mobile browser maker UCWeb Inc. and 50% of the Guangzhou Evergrande soccer team from Hong Kong-listed Evergrande Real Estate Group Ltd. In April, Alibaba and the investment vehicle of its billionaire founder Jack Ma agreed to pump $1.22 billion into Chinese Internet TV company Youku Tudou Inc. Alibaba also announced a $1.85 billion agreement to take Nasdaq-listed digital map maker AutoNavi Holdings Ltd. private and an $803 million deal to move its minor stake in content provider ChinaVision Media Group Ltd. to a majority.

Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- The European Central Bank said it is concerned about the independence of Hungary's central bank, Magyar Nemzeti Bank, after frequent revisions to the way senior staff are appointed.
"Constant changes in the composition of the MNB's decision-making bodies, the increase in the number of Monetary Council members, together with the possibility of increasing the number of deputy governors gives rise to concerns whether this could be used to influence the decision-making process to the detriment of central bank independence," the ECB said in a legal opinion on draft legislation, published on its website today.

WASHINGTON – The Georgetown men's tennis team closes out their fall schedule at the ITA Regionals this week. The men play from Thurs., Oct. 17 until Tues., Oct. 22 in Blacksburg, Va., which is hosted by Virginia Tech.
The Hoyas have five men participating in the tournament: senior co-captain Casey Distaso (The Woodlands, Texas/Edmond North), sophomore Daniel Khanin (Baldwin, N.Y./Pendleton), junior Shane Korber (Newport Beach, Calif./Corona Del Mar), freshman Yannik Mahlangu (Henderson, Nev./Green Valley) and junior Alex Tropiano (Laurel Hollow, N.Y./Cold Spring Harbor). All five will play in either the singles main draw or the doubles portion of the tournament.
The men's singles main draw will begin on Fri., Oct. 18. Khanin faces Rafael Ribas of the host school, Virginia Tech, in the first round of the main draw at 11:30 a.m. on Friday. Mahlangu plays at noon on Friday against Joe Mills of Radford in his first matchup.

Korber's first round match will be played against Penn State's Marc Collado at 1 p.m. on Friday. Distaso plays Joe Sierra of St. Joseph at 2 p.m. on Friday.

They defeated a pair from ASA, 8-0, and Johns Hopkins, 8-3.
Tropiano and Distaso double up for their 9:45 a.m. first round match on Friday against Alex Hahn and Canyon Teague of Richmond. As a pair, Tropiano and Distaso are 1-1 overall.

Sept. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Bloomberg's Dominic Chu reports that the Treasury Department is offering to sell $18 billion of American International Group Inc. shares in a transaction that will cut the U.S. stake in the firm to below 50 percent for the first time since its 2008 bailout. The U.S. would own about 23 percent of AIG if it sells the shares at the Sept. 7 closing price of $33.99 each. He speaks on Bloomberg Television's "In The Loop."

The Mughal era is a historic period of the Mughal Empire in South Asia (mainly Northern India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) that was ruled by members of the Barlas Mongol Timurid Dynasty. It ruled from the early 16th century to the early 18th century when the Mughal emperors' power dwindled. It ended with the establishment of the British Raj in 1858.[1]The Mughal emperors were Central Asian Turko-Mongols from modern-day Uzbekistan, who claimed direct descent from both Genghis Khan (through his son Chagatai Khan) and Timur. At the height of their power in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, they controlled much of the Indian subcontinent, extending from Bengal in the east to Kabul & Sindh in the west, Kashmir in the north to the Kaveri basin in the south.[2] Its population at that time has been estimated as between 110 and 150 million (a quarter of the world's population), over a territory of more than 3.2 million square kilometres (1.2 million square miles).[3]
The Mughal Empire was founded by Babur, a Central Asian ruler who was descended from the Turko-Mongol conqueror Timur on his father's side and from Chagatai, the second son of the Mongol ruler Genghis Khan, on his mother's side.[4] Ousted from his ancestral domains in Central Asia, Babur turned to India to satisfy his ambitions. He established himself in Kabul and then pushed steadily southward into India from Afghanistan through the Khyber Pass.[4] Babur's forces occupied much of northern India after his victory at Panipat in 1526.[4] The preoccupation with wars and military campaigns, however, did not allow the new emperor to consolidate the gains he had made in India.[4] The instability of the empire became evident under his son, Humayun, who was driven out of India and into Persia by rebels.[4] Humayun's exile in Persia established diplomatic ties between the Safavid and Mughal Courts, and led to closer cultural contacts between India and Iran. The restoration of Mughal rule began after Humayun's triumphant return from Persia in 1555, but he died from a fatal accident shortly afterwards.[4] Humayun's son, Akbar, succeeded to the throne under a regent, Bairam Khan, who helped consolidate the Mughal Empire in India.[4]
Through warfare and diplomacy, Akbar was able to extend the empire in all directions and controlled almost the entire Indian subcontinent north of the Godavari river. He created a new class of nobility loyal to him from the military aristocracy of India's social groups, implemented a modern government, and supported cultural developments.[4] At the same time, Akbar intensified trade with European trading companies. India developed a strong and stable economy, leading to commercial expansion and economic development. Akbar allowed free expression of religion, and attempted to resolve socio-political and cultural differences in his empire by establishing a new religion, Din-i-Ilahi, with strong characteristics of a ruler cult.[4] He left his successors an internally stable state, which was in the midst of its golden age, but before long signs of political weakness would emerge.[4] Akbar's son, Jahangir, ruled the empire at its peak, but he was addicted to opium, neglected the affairs of the state, and came under the influence of rival court cliques.[4] During the reign of Jahangir's son, Shah Jahan, the culture and splendour of the luxurious Mughal court reached its zenith as exemplified by the Taj Mahal.[4] The maintenance of the court, at this time, began to cost more than the revenue.[4]
Shah Jahan's eldest son, the liberal Dara Shikoh, became regent in 1658, as a result of his father's illness. However, a younger son, Aurangzeb, allied with the Islamic orthodoxy against his brother, who championed a syncretistic Hindu-Muslim culture, and ascended to the throne. Aurangzeb defeated Dara in 1659 and had him executed.[4] Although Shah Jahan fully recovered from his illness, Aurangzeb declared him incompetent to rule and had him imprisoned. During Aurangzeb reign, the empire gained political strength once more, but his religious conservatism and intolerance undermined the stability of Mughal society.[4] Aurangzeb expanded the empire to include almost the whole of South Asia, but at his death in 1707, many parts of the empire were in open revolt.[4] Aurangzeb's son, Shah Alam, repealed the religious policies of his father, and attempted to reform the administration. However, after his death in 1712, the Mughal dynasty sank into chaos and violent feuds. In the year 1719 alone, four emperors successively ascended the throne.[4]
During the reign of Muhammad Shah, the empire began to break up, and vast tracts of central India passed from Mughal to Maratha hands. The campaigns of Nadir Shah, who had earlier conquered Iran and Afghanistan, culminated with the Sack of Delhi and shattered the remnants of Mughal power and prestige.[4] Many of the empire's elites now sought to control their own affairs, and broke away to form independent kingdoms.[4] The Mughal Emperor, however, continued to be the highest manifestation of sovereignty. Not only the Muslim gentry, but the Maratha, Hindu, and Sikh leaders took part in ceremonial acknowledgements of the emperor as the sovereign of India.[5]
The Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II made futile attempts to reverse the Mughal decline, and ultimately had to seek the protection of outside powers. In 1784, the Maratha's under Mahadji Scindia won acknowledgement as the protectors of the emperor in Delhi, a state of affairs that continued until after the Second Anglo-Maratha War. Thereafter, the British East India Company became the protectors of the Mughal dynasty in Delhi.[5] After a crushed rebellion which he nominally led in 1857-58, the last Mughal, Bahadur Shah Zafar, was deposed by the British government, who then assumed formal control of the country.[4]

"Great treat!! Savory, sweet, and crunchy!!!! I could not find my usual good quality white chocolate so I used 3 (3.52 oz) white chocolate Toblerone bars and cut the recipe in half. Swiss Toblerone have clean ingredients of just pure chocolate and they have honey and almond nougat too so it made the treats even better! I was glad I didn't find my regular white chocolate because melted Toblerone bars are awesome with this!! Love this recipe, thanks for posting!!!"
"Simple, easy, and delicious. Perfect!"
"I became worried after mixing all the ingredients together because it didn't look like there was enough white chocolate to hold everything together. It turned out great! Everyone loved it. I bet cashews or pistachios would be great too."
"Made this with two large (400 gram) white chocolate Toblerone bars ... a little more chocolate than the recipe called for but yum, sooo good!!"
"A winner of a recipe -- deliciously salty and sweet. Can't wait to serve these at my Thanksgiving dessert table. Incredibly easy to make with wonderful results. Will definitely be making these again and again! Made for Fall PAC, 2012."
"This is great to bring to a party or to package up pretty for a gift for Christmas. I also sometimes substitute rice crispies in place of the pretzels and that's really yummy too!!! The best kind of good is the easy kind of good, especially at this busy time of year."
"Nice combo!"
"I like the peanut to be smaller so I crush them a bit. Im gonna make this for xmas gifts this year and add in some pretty red and green edible glitter"
"I just made this for a brunch I'm hosting this weekend. I had to of course taste a piece before serving it to others, and it is spectacular, and EASY. It will be a nice deliciously quick addition to my cookie tray."
"This is so-o-o good! And it's very easy to make which is an added bonus. Thanks for posting and will make again and again."
"Spring PAC 2009: Made for our bake sale for scouts - sold out right away!!"
"Excellent. I went to add this recipe and saw that it was all ready posted. Nice for gift packages."
"Really good and really easy."
"Love this salty sweet combination. This would make great gifts if you can keep yourself from eating it all. I used the microwave method and reduced the servings because I only had a 4 oz. white chocolate baking bar, and just eye-balled the pretzels and peanuts. I couldn't be happier with the results!"

The Mind-Riders(1976)
A novel by Brian Stableford
First published in 1976, "The Mind-Riders" features a remarkable anticipation of virtual reality gaming, in which the revised sport of boxing pits physically identical virtual fighters against one another, operated by electronically-connected "handlers" -- with viewers receiving transmissions of the combatants' emotions as their simulations slug it out. Ryan Hart, banished from the sport in its early days because of his lack of marketable emotion, is brought back by an obsessed media executive who wants to see the reigning champion beaten at any cost. Hart is not certain that he can win, after such a lapse of time, nor is he certain he can resist pressure to give the vast virtual crowds the dose of sadistic exultation they crave. But that doesn't stop him from heading into the virtual "ring" and fighting the bout of his life! Rousing science fiction adventure by a master of the genre.

Leading the Way
Leading the Way
Wesley Woodyards two NFL seasons have proven that a player doesnt need hype or expectation or even to be drafted to earn teammates respect.
The former college free agents election as one of the Broncos seven captains last season was proof enough of that.
But in the NFL, leadership can take time. As Woodyard transitions from young player working hard to find a niche to veteran on an experienced defensive unit, hes learning what it takes to be a leader at footballs highest level.
One lesson Woodyard, who has made his mark as one of the Broncos best special teams players, picked up along the way is that someone is always watching and listening, whether its on the practice field or in the locker room.
In the linebackers mind, leading by example is one of the most important ways to reach the newest group of youngsters.
You really dont notice what youre doing in my situation, Woodyard said. I really dont think too much. When you see a guy that you know is going to be a good player and can be a good player, you just try to encourage him.
Sometimes thats enough to make a big impact.
Earlier this offseason, rookie Kevin Alexander, an undrafted free agent from Clemson, cited Woodyard as one of the players who made him feel comfortable on the defense right away.
When Alexander earned reps with the first team defense during minicamp, he said he relied on Woodyards positive approach to pull him through what could have been an overwhelming time.
(Woodyard) said, Keep your head up, even if I messed up, Alexander said. He was just like, Keep coming, rookie. Keep working.
Dicky Lyons said his former Kentucky teammate has always been the type of player that others gravitate toward and look up to because of his hardworking attitude. The first-year Bronco said that hasnt changed in Denver.
The team wont name its 2010 captains until the season draws closer, but its clear that Woodyard continues to emerge as a leader.
Its a role the 23-year-old is becoming increasingly comfortable in.
You never know how far your word can go, Woodyard said. I just try to just go out there and be myself. Hopefully, my work ethic and my skills and everything that Ive learned since Ive been in the league will rub off on some of these young players.

Auto Racing
Franchitti wins 3rd Indy 500, gives nod to Wheldon
|Dario Franchitti, of Scotland, reacts after winning IndyCar's Indianapolis 500 auto race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Sunday, May 27, 2012. (AP Photo/AJ Mast)
INDIANAPOLIS — Dario Franchitti stamped his name in the record books, the latest three-time winner of the Indianapolis 500. But this was not about Franchitti: It was all for Dan Wheldon.
Franchitti won a wheel-to-wheel, last-lap battle Sunday, sailing away to the checkered flag when Takuma Sato spun out trying to make one last pass on the inside and slammed into the wall. Franchitti's Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon crossed the finish line right behind the Scotsman.
Third went to Tony Kanaan, making it a podium sweep for Wheldon's three closest friends in the IndyCar series. Wheldon, the defending race winner and a two-time champ, was killed in the October season finale, and the entire day was in honor of D-dub, their fallen friend.
"Everybody up there was a friend of Dan's, and that about sums it up. Everybody loved him," said Franchitti as bagpipes played over the public address system.
"What a race! What a race!" Franchitti said. "I think D-dub would be proud of that one."
Kanaan, who used a bold move on a late restart to dart from fifth to first, couldn't hold off Franchitti and Dixon on the last restart. It left him winless in 11 career attempts at Indy, but he was OK with the final result.
"Actually it was good for Dan, his three best friends fighting for the win," Kanaan said. "Danny, wherever he is right now, I think he's extremely happy. His three best friends in the top three."
Wheldon's wife, Susie, went to Victory Lane to congratulate Franchitti, who hid his tears of joy behind a pair of white sunglasses worn in tribute because they were Wheldon's preference. She then sat next to Franchitti's wife, actress Ashley Judd, in the backseat of the convertible — the same seat she had a year ago for Wheldon's win — for the victory lap around the 2.5-mile oval.
The entire day was a tribute to Wheldon, beginning with car owner Bryan Herta driving a single parade lap around Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the car Wheldon drove to victory last year. Fans were given white sunglasses to wear on laps 26 and 98, marking the car numbers Wheldon used in his two wins.
It was Susie Wheldon's first trip to any race track since her husband's Oct. 16 death, and she watched from Dixon's pit stand with his wife, Emma. It was the Dixons who relocated after the accident to St. Petersburg, Fla., to provide comfort and support for Susie and her two sons in the months after the accident.
So it was fitting on this hot day — the temperature hit 91 degrees, just one shy of the Indy 500 record from 1937 — that one of the most competitive races in history ended with a frantic push from Wheldon's friends. Ten drivers swapped the lead 35 times, shattering the record of 29 in the 1960 race won by Jim Rathmann.
Until the last lap, when Sato made his move for the win, the race was close but uneventful.
The only multi-car accident came when a spin by Mike Conway collected Will Power, who came into the race as the series points leader and winner of the last three races this season. It was a somewhat frightening accident as Conway, who broke his front wing when he hit one of his crew members on pit road, hit the outside wall and his car tilted on its side before coming to rest. And Helio Castroneves had to deftly maneuver past a bouncing tire that still grazed one of his own wheels.
Besides that, though, the race was slowed by just eight cautions — including the one on the last lap — for 39 of the 200 laps.
Marco Andretti, who went into Sunday believing the race "is mine to lose," was strong at the start, but a series of adjustments were not to his liking and he unraveled on his team radio before spinning to bring out the final caution with 13 laps remaining.
Franchitti and Dixon battled back and forth in the final third of the race, with Sato consistently in the mix. Then came Kanaan, from nowhere it seemed, but he was unable to hang on to the lead on the restart after Marco Andretti's crash brought out the yellow with 13 laps to go.
Andretti said the wreck "definitely rang my bell."
Everyone thought the race would go to a Chevrolet driver for either Andretti Autosport or Penske Racing, which won the first four races of the season and swept the front two rows in qualifying. But in the end, it was three Hondas fighting for their first win of the season.
After the restart with six laps remaining, Franchitti pulled past Dixon for the final time. Sato went with him and slid in front of Dixon to split the Ganassi teammates. The Japanese then went for the lead going into the first turn, pulling even with Franchitti. "Job done," he said he thought, but he went in too low, the tires appearing to touch.
"It looks like he didn't give me enough room to go there," Sato said. "I was a little below the white line. I had nowhere to go."
Sato said the cars never actually hit but the white line marking the inside of the track "was less than touching my own car — so, you know, I mean almost on the grass."
Franchitti coasted across the line under a yellow caution flag to become the 10th driver to win at least three Indy 500s. All three of Franchitti's wins have ended under caution.
This was the second year in a row that a crash on the final lap affected the outcome. In 2011, rookie JR Hildebrand was leading going into the final turn when his car slammed into the wall, allowing Wheldon to cruise past and take the checkered flag.
"I was side by side with Takuma," Franchitti said. "We hit and I managed to keep it out of trouble."
It snaps a disappointing start to the season for Franchitti, who has won the last three championships but seemed stumped by IndyCar's new car through the first four races. In breaking out Sunday for his 31st victory, he's now in a tie with Sebastien Bourdais and Paul Tracy on the all-time wins list.
One more win will move Franchitti into seventh place in the record books. The only drivers ahead of him? The giants of open-wheel racing: three Unsers, two Andrettis and A.J. Foyt, the all-time wins leader.

Inventor of the Period -- April Fool's Day, 1956
Writing in The Saturday Review, K. Jason Sitewell discussed the biography of Kohmar Pehriad (544-493 BC), inventor of punctuation in written language, and more specifically of the period. Pehriad traveled throughout Ancient Greece, Rome, Persia, North Africa, and Asia promoting the use of the period. He also promoted use of the comma, which, like the period, was subsequently named after him (Kohmar). His son, Apos-Trophe Pehriad, introduced further markings, such as quotation marks and apostrophes. "The period did not come about by accident," Sitewell noted. "Someone had to invent it and fight for it."

We came up with this recipe in the hopes that it would pick up on some of the flavors of Greek chicken, or at least Mediterranean cuisine, and I don't think we were too far off. (There should have been honey in here somewhere, but it was close)
To carry the Mediterranean feel a bit further, we paired it with some leftover tzatziki we had in the fridge from a few days earlier. The result? I can only call these wonderful and suggest you give them a try. Really, I wish I had more to say on the subject, but honestly, I'm just wishing we had a few wings left right about now…
What I would have done differently had I thought of it at the time:
I didn't do it, my wife did, so nothing ;)

The Clockwork Universe: Isaac Newton, the Royal Society, and the Birth of the Modern World (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 days from Our Distributor
The Clockwork Universe is the story of a band of men who lived in a world of dirt and disease but pictured a universe that ran like a perfect machine. A meld of history and science, this book is a group portrait of some of the greatest minds who ever lived as they wrestled with natures most sweeping mysteries. The answers they uncovered still hold the key to how we understand the world.
At the end of the seventeenth centuryan age of religious wars, plague, and the Great Fire of London when most people saw the world as falling apart, these earliest scientists saw a world of perfect order. They declared that, chaotic as it looked, the universe was in fact as intricate and perfectly regulated as a clock. This was the tail end of Shakespeares century, when the natural and the supernatural still twined around each other. Disease was a punishment ordained by God, astronomy had not yet broken free from astrology, and the sky was filled with omens. It was a time when little was known and everything was new. These brilliant, ambitious, curious men believed in angels, alchemy, and the devil, and they also believed that the universe followed precise, mathematical lawsa contradiction that tormented them and changed the course of history.
The Clockwork Universe is the fascinating and compelling story of the bewildered geniuses of the Royal Society, the men who made the modern world.

restauranter & caféerSakkala is the modern part of the city, consisting of a long stretch of the most luxurious to the cheapest hotels. There are numerous cafés and restaurants where you can enjoy both Egyptian and European cuisine. Egyptian cuisine is tasty, but not the most refined. You should not expect to see many vegetables. The range of vegetables used is mainly limited to potatoes, cucumbers and tomatoes. Meat is also scarce. Egyptians mainly eat fish and seafood.
You should try:
- Kusheri: a mixture of lentils, rice, pasta, parsley and sauce (one of the cheapest dishes; served in special kusheri restaurants)
- Foul: a tasty, thick sauce made from brown beans and spices
- Makarona: a baked lump of macaroni, stuffed with tomatoes and minced meat
- Baba ghanugh: a mixture of tahina, baked aubergine purée, chickpeas, garlic and lemon juice
- Kusa: grated courgette, fried in a batter of flour and egg
- Fatir: a pizza-like pancake with a sweet or savoury filling

Another Indian poster with a handful of posts thinks Benchy's funny. Likely story. This is the Blaze 18 debacle all over again.

Haven't heard about that Blaze 18 debacle yet. I think his name came up in a thread about multis in the 'site discussion' thread..Thats all that I know.
Also, in my view, this 'handful of posts' word is not a great way to encourage newcomers to the forum.

"Your averages, captain, coaches and players can probably survive incompetence over a relatively short series, so if youre going to be rubbish, make sure its against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, New Zealand or someone."
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Channing Frye and Amare Stoudemire each scored 26 points, leading the Phoenix Suns past the struggling Boston Celtics, 116-98.
Frye sank six three-pointers and also had 10 rebounds, while Leandro Barbosa scored 17 off the bench for the Suns, who were coming off a home win over the Lakers on Monday. Wednesday's victory improved Phoenix's home record to 13-2. The Suns are the only team in the NBA to beat both the Lakers and Celtics this season.
Eddie House led six Celtics players in double figures with 19 points, while Ray Allen added 15. Boston, playing without Kevin Garnett because of his sore right knee, fell to its season-high third straight loss.
"It's a win over the Celtics. I mean, we'll take it," Suns head coach Alvin Gentry said. "As I said to someone, they don't really put an asterisk by it and say Kevin Garnett wasn't here. So we'll take it any way we can get it."
Stoudemire was dominant in the opening quarter, making 9-of-10 shots and finishing with 18 points, nearly outscoring Boston himself. Phoenix shot 14- of-25 in the first overall, and held a 30-20 lead moving to the second.
The Suns maintained the double-digit lead at halftime, 61-49.
Boston was within single digits a few times in the third quarter, including when Rasheed Wallace's jumper got the Celtics within 64-55 with eight minutes to go. But Jason Richardson followed with a layup to spark a 13-2 run that he ended with a jumper to make it a 77-57 contest.
"I didn't like the way we started the first six minutes of the game," Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said. "I told our guys I thought we didn't have that thought in our mind. Then I thought we actually competed from there. And we just couldn't get shots to fall. And when you're down on your luck with injuries and your other guys can't make shots they usually make, you're probably going to lose the game."
Phoenix was ahead 90-73 going to the final frame, and continued to shoot well to secure the victory. Two Barbosa foul shots with 6:11 to play put the Suns in front 106-83, and they cruised from there.
