The magical gene, what is it?
I have been reading about the gene that gets turned on, by what is it, and what if I don't have it???
SIRT1. I think everyone has it and it gets turned on by calorie restriction. I would recommend reading Dr. Johnson's book The Alternate Day Diet and reading the sticky at the top about alternate day fasting/ CRON (calorie restriction optimal nutrition.)
I'll link it here later.
If you find out you don't have it, let me know. Then I'll know there are two of us. :D :D
Back when Dr J wrote, there was SIRT1. Since then, a lot of SIRTs have been isolated. If you do an internet search on sirtuin enzymes or sirtuin proteins, you will find there has been a ton of research - most of it done in 2011 and 2012.
I am sure some people are born without sirtuin enzymes...but those little doodads are so fundamental to the body I suspect those people do not live very long.
SIRTs are always there, always doing their thing, usually burning themselves off in the process. JUDDDs 'trick' is to invoke them at a rate that builds up more than burns. So, they keep doing their thing even when we are not in low-cal/fasting mode.
OH. Some people initially burn a lot more SIRTs than they accumulate. Rate of accumulation varies body to body. Many/most people feel it when accumulation hits a certain level. I can tell you I hit the jackpot on Wednesday of my fourth week JUDDDing. That is about average. Some take longer, some take much less time. (The nice thing is, you lose weight before you hit complete accumulation.)
Did having S1RT1 turned on help on the DDs , or do you just get used to the DDs? And do you KNOW when it's turned on, can u feel it? And does the S1RT1 actually help with weight loss? Sorry for all the questions!!
This is just my personal opinion and experience- this is not the case for everyone, but I found the lower the DDs are for a consistent period of time the quicker my SIRTs getting flowing and flowing quite strong. When I take time off from rotations for a vacation, the faster I get back to low, low DDs I get quickly re-satuated with SIRTs and get my energy and appetite suppression back quickly.
Interesting and it makes sense, Carly. I think the wider the gap between UD and DD calories is what makes it happen, right? I definitely have the SIRTs now. That sounds like something bad, lol.
ETA: silly me was joking in the earlier post, Tex. :D
Sounds like squirts lol
sirtuin proteins are created when the body recognizes a caloric deficit, they do three things we are concerned with:
1) they run around the body cleaning up old, dead cells; and the innards of cells that are sickly. They send the detritus to be burned as fuel. And, in the process of cleaning up they can make great improvements in our health.
2) they support fat burning, in fact they appear to be critical to making the body burn fat and preserve muscle
3) for some of us, they reduce feelings of hunger
Sounds great, doesn't it? It is. The trick is that the body only generates them for a fairly short time. After an average of 40 hours, if the body is still in a calorie deficit, it stops producing SIRTs and changes over to burning fat and muscle.
By eating very low one day, we invoke the SIRTs and burn fat (and get a nice internal dusting and cleaning). By eating high the next day, we turn off the calorie deficit and prevent muscle being used for fuel. That is the magic to the rotation.
Gradually, over time, we accumulate enough SIRTs that they hang around and keep working on UD. At that point, weight loss usually speeds up a bit...even if it does not speed up, it becomes very stable and predictable.
When we have a - ahem - body-full of SIRTs, it takes about two weeks to burn them all away. That is why going on vacation for a week or so may cause a bounce, but returning to the rotation and losing the bounce is usually very easy.
I hope that helps.
So I guess I will be scheduling "just" under 2 weeks vacations from now on LOL..... or make sure I continue rotations the first week if I decide to chuck it all the 2nd week - or about the time I start drinking wine :)
Thank you Nancy! That really does help a whole bunch!
I hope, please tell me it's not the thyroid that makes these proteins, please please because I don't have a thyroid
Nancy, thank you so much for that timely post! Hubby and I are heading out on Tuesday for a four day trip to a couple of casinos. I have been dreading the bounce I know will be waiting for me when we get home, but after reading that post, the bounce will be easier to handle now. Thank you!
Sheryl, I will keep reading (I am beginning to feel an eBook coming on) but I don't really think SIRTs are generated by glands the way enzymes are. They act like enzymes but they are formally introduced as being proteins. So far, I have not found anything written that says blah-blah makes SIRTs. I think you are safe - if it was as simple as 'the thyroid makes SIRTs' I think I would have found it.
Everyone contemplating surviving a vaycay (this is where I shine), SIRTs become active, or get created, or whatever the heck it is they do, every time your body thinks it is under caloric stress. Every night, if your body has time to burn through the calories you ate yesterday, a few more SIRTs are - so to speak - born.
Which means mindful eating (if it is not delish, try something else) and intermittent low-cal/fasting eating can keep replenishing SIRTs.
Here is the link to the reason I say I shine at vaycay eating: My Social Eating Marathon
OOPS, I see a typo in that link - normal UD should read just above RMR.
Do the SIRTs stay active in maintanence if you up your DD calories according to the JUDDD calculator? I'm really looking forward to higher DD numbers but don't want to loose the benefits of SIRTs.
In the book Dr J talks about eating at 50% maintenance levels and having to drop his DDs a few times a year to reactivate what we on this forum would call his NSVs.
It probably depends on your particular metabolism and will take some experimenting. But since September I find having one or two low DDs a week is enough to keep my weight stable and keep my NSVs.
Nancy, thanks for bumping up the old thread within your post and all the great information! I started JUDDD b/c of all the wonderful maintenance success stories over here so it was so helpful for me to be reminded of that this morning!
Sammy, I'm glad you asked that last question! I've been struggling with super hungry DDs this week and have been reluctant to bump my DD cals up at all b/c I don't want to risk the SIRTs going away! Definately wondered how that would work out on maintenance if DDs were bumped up. ETA: WTG on 3# this week? WOW! That's crazy fabulous!!!!
For me it's a realization one day that the UD wasn't very challengining and the UD had me looking for food to get up to the calories. The appetite suppression is the only thing I really "felt".
It takes different times for us for it to kick in. Mine is usually a few weeks, where others it's not near as long.
I did a quick search and found "SIRT1 is a nuclear protein" which means either it is made in the nucleus or works in the nucleus of the cells. Which cells those are or if it is in all cells I don't know. It doesn't seem to be any easy answer to find.
I think maybe I have delayed the production of SIRT by never going below 500 calories on DD's. Also, never getting the appetite suppression...well, not as well as some have. With the help of ptero, I hope to start having lower DD's and get that SIRT flowing!!
Thank you. I am so glad if I am able to help. :love:
I did some more SIRT hunting last night. Here is what I found.
SIRTs are metabolic enzymes (yes, that can :stars: translate to 'SIRTs are nuclear proteins') that live in the cells of every living thing (yeast, worms, people).
Sheryl, stop worrying. You got 'em. I suspect there are probably metabolic disorders that prevent metabolic enzymes from forming. Sadly I also suspect those unfortunates either do not survive to be born or leave us soon thereafter. You are alive = you got SIRTs.
More cool info to follow - reality is interrupting my fun just now :doh:
Glad to know we all have SIRTs and can activate them for better health and weight loss. I'll keep looking for your updates, Nancy. I love your posts!
Thanks :shake::hugs::shake:
I can verify that slacking off on rotations, then getting back on after SIRTs were fired up before the slack that SIRTs can come back quite nicely. I slept like a baby last night and today I'm feeling a better mood and lots more energy....amazing!

Everything including the service was first rate and always consistent. Very pleasant room which can become a little noisy when packed. Preparation of food is always pleasing and done right.
Nice table, staff, wine, & food.
But lighting was low and noise level was high!
Food couldn't be seen.
Terrible light?
Why is this so.
Food is good to be seen.
I copied some of another's post because I had the exact experience. Food was good.. The level of noise makes any conversation impossible. Atmosphere candle light reflected in porch windows very charming but the noise was so disturbing I don't understand how this restaurant remains very popular. I could not wait to leave.
Definitely a must when in Southampton. Easy and relaxed, food is delicious and well prepared. Recommend.
We come to the Hamptons out of season and book every dinner here for the long weekend. Fabulous menu with lots of varied choices. Lovely, light room. The waiter even remembered us from our last visit for our anniversary-- such a sweetheart.
We were in Southampton out of season so had no problem getting into the small and intimate restaurant that had been recommended to us. Glad we did as we almost had the place to ourselves.
Nice menu selection and decent not great service. I ordered the endive salad with pears and stilton because I was craving something sweet but healthy...
We had an enjoyable experience here in every way. Although the wine by the glass was a bit extravagant, we both liked our selections. I had an Italian wine that was just wonderful and my husband chose the Pinot Noir. There was a prix fixe menu but selections were somewhat limited and we did find anything that appealed to us...
Good food, good atmosphere, very noisy....enjoy any of their salads....the service was adequate but not the best...enjoyed some of the specials but can be quite costly....
Food was good...dirty martins better than average but the level of noise makes any conversation impossible. Atmosphere candle light reflected in porch windows very charming but the noise was so disturbing I don't understand how this restaurant remains very popular. I could not wait to leave.
We had a lovely dinner. Excellent food, good wines, excellent service. Worth the splurge. Would definitely go back again.

July 2013 seasonally adjusted retail sales in the United States--not including cars, gas stations, and restaurants--were up 0.3% from June and were up 5.0% unadjusted year-over-year.
Electronics and appliance retailer sales were down 0.1%, seasonally adjusted, from June but were up 0.8% unadjusted year-over-year.
"Consumers continue to grind forward in July, marking 13 consecutive months of retail sales gains," said National Retail Federation President and CEO Matthew Shay said. "However consumers alone can't be expected to shoulder the burden of the economy. Fiscal and monetary policy uncertainties combined with stagnant economic and employment conditions continue to breed a volatile market with extreme swings in consumer spending. The economy can't seem to maintain any amount of momentum. We just can't seem to pull ourselves up."
July retail sales, released by the U.S. Census Bureau, showed total retail and food services sales--including non-general merchandise categories like cars, gas stations, and restaurants--were up 0.2% seasonally adjusted month-to-month and were up 5.4% adjusted year-over-year.
"Spending has stalled and the economy is stuck in neutral," NRF Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz said. "Even with modest employment gains and steady consumer confidence, Americans remain in a cautiously-positive spending pattern.
Kleinhenz suggested that declines in sales by home-based retailers as possibly pointing to an end to a year-long housing increase. "This month's retail sales report will make any decision on tapering that much harder for policymakers in D.C."

One day she answered a phone call for her roommate. The man on the line told her she had a beautiful voice. Ekayani thought, These French guys, they even flirt over the phone, but the voice was not just that of another playboy; it was composer and guitarist Paul Mahoux. He and Ekayani met for tea. "It was very polite, very French," she explains. When Mahoux finally played Ekayani some of his music, she asked for paper and a pen and wrote a song; they recorded it on the spot. Ekayani soon gave up modeling to become a full-time singer.
Nowadays Ekayani spends most of her time riding her bicycle her primary form of transportation around Miami, recording, and reading books. "Reading is really underrated," she says. "The more you read, the more you see how similar people around the world are." She also constantly thinks about music and her place in the music world. "I don't think I'm unique; I'm part of a very old need," she explains. "The need to speak about our experiences is very human. Beats and rhymes and hooks just make it all easier to remember."
Ekayani's vocal style is not what you'd expect from a model turned singer. She embraces her deep, husky voice with songs ranging from melodious, hooky serenades to minimalist spoken-word pieces, always backed up by the beautiful, mellow, jazzy sounds of the Healing Band. Ekayani wants the audience to be a part of the experience, not just passive observers. "It's a sensual heart, mind, body experience," she says. "It's very African; a group like the Temptations understood that." Ekayani also uses what she learned as a model in her shows. "I'm conscious of form and color and how it affects the audience. I ask myself, 'How can my appearance enhance what I have to say, enhance the music?'"

OK I thought when I retired I would get it all togeather, plan meals, get organized, get rid of stuff, sort, clean, go to classes, have time, do things I wanted to do. Now I'm retired, for almost two weeks and it hasn't happened, this week I'm having trouble thinking reasons to even get up. If I didn't have to pee, I probably wouldn't. Then the cat is hungry and I need to feed the dog, and my sugar is low so it's time to start feeding me. But I'm not sure what I want to eat, not like I have a big choice, I hate shopping and am living off of what my husband, who has passed, bought before he had a stroke, in November of 09. Lots of canned goods, Seems like I would lose, just because. Well I do the meal thing but most of my calories must be after lunch as I do my Spark first thing. I have go to get it togeather, meloncoly, moodieness, lonesomeness, all reasons to eat, not get up, not get out, not. Lord help me get it all togeather.
My Daughter told me how she sees my eating habits and I have all kinds of excuses but I'm ashamed, because I guess she's right, So my mood is kind of feeling sorry for myself, kind of questioning future times with family, and just pretty well bummed. I have wanted her over more to help me but I'm just using that as an excuse, God helps those who help themselves, so I will hope for her to visit and be supportive but will try not to expect her to be more than what she can be.
Tried it and liked it, I can do this, just thought it was for old persons, then realized that to a 20 year old, I am an old person, but to a 60 year old I'm not yet, but I kind of know that I am. So day one of sit and be fit. doing it is better than nothing, hope I can keep it up.
SO I need to get weighed and measured, but I'm doing pretty good at working at my Spark points and my daughter is too so we can do this. This will be the year. God willing and the creeks don't rise.
OK so I need to challenge myself to get Spark Points, as I read and learn, and work with the Blogs, messages I get encouragement, so I am going to Challenge myself to get at least 30 points a day and I hope my daughters will also work on this.

When teaching post defense, every coach in America instructs in the use of the arm bar, that is, using a forearm on the back of a post player as a way to deny the offensive player the ability to back you down.
As long as the defender doesn't extend the forearm and displace the offensive player or use it to control movement, officials will let the defender protect his space.
Except if your name is Ivory Clark and you are doing it in Hec Ed.
Clark's third foul was a perfect demonstration of the correct, and seemingly legal, use of the arm bar. Except he was called for a foul.
Clark was astonished. He also was headed to the bench. And the Cougar defense, as well as the Cougar offense, took a hit.
• The foul totals with 11 minutes: WSU 14, UW 8; the free throws: WSU 5 of 7, UW 14 of 18.

conviencing my daughter her ex is dangerous
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 01-10-2013 - 5:23pm
Short version, long story! My daughter has ended a year long relationship with a man who, unknow to her the first 2 months they dated, was married. When he admitted to having a wife, he told her his wife was having an affair and they were in the middle of a divorce, non of which was true. When my daughter tried to get him to move from their apartment they got in a fight in which she broke a speaker of his. The police were called by a nieghbor that heard a man yelling, upon their arrival she was arrested since she had broke the speaker. She was arrested on a domestic violence charge!! A protective order was put against her since he was the victim. He worked very hard to get it removed and did, but now he will not leave her alone and the DV charge is still against her. He has gone crazy as she does not want to date him anymore. He got into her cell phone account and found everybody she was talking to, if he could not figure out who they were using on-line searches he actually called the numbers seeing if they were female or males Fast forward, she went on a date, last night. And as she left the show they were at, he drove by, he had got into her e-mail and saw her online ticket purchase so he knew where she was going. She told her date the whole story and about that time her dates cell phone is blown up with calls, texts and messages from the ex. The date is so freaked out he decides he should stay at my daughters house just in case crazy comes by, and he does. He shows up (he had her address even though we moved her to a new apartment because he is the victim in the DV case) pounds on the door threatening to call the police and have her arrested again if she does not answer!! Anyway, crazy right? My daughter does not see how dangerous this man can be. I have 45 text messages to me in a 24 hours period from him, one saying "he cannot be without her" REALLY!! Sorry for the vent, I am just so upset.

This is scarey and he is "Dangerous", he knows how to "Manipulate" the system to his advantage...
Make sure you document everything...Call the police...make Reports...under no circumstances should she meet him and definitely never alone...:(...
He also cannot be contacting her or showing up at her new address.
If you can establish a Pattern of "Stalking" that is of the utmost importance.
I have dealt with an ex who did not know the meaning of No Contact!
Make sure she does make the police and courts aware of what he is doing to her her family and friends.
My heart goes out to you...
Others might be able to help, I know exactly how terrifying it can be...

This shows what happens when we allow the legislature to go hog wild. With the domestic Violence on she has a less strong position. I suggest a atty's advice for your state. Each state has different laws and until the chage is dealt with it will be difficult.
|Thu, 01-10-2013 - 7:14pm
I would also suggest going to the police and showing them all the texts from him. You might also call a DV hotline and see if they have any advice. Now to show how illogical he is, how could he call the police on her when he is at her place? She should have called the police immediately saying that he was trying to get into her house, esp. since she had another guy there as a witness.
|Fri, 01-11-2013 - 12:52pm
You might also give her the number to the Domestic Violence Hotline, 1-800-799-SAFE . Please also check out our Crisis Information & Community Website. http://www.ivillage.com/forums/love-sex/crisis-resources/recognizing-dea...

You're hands are pretty tied as long as your daughter doesn't see this as concerning. She's the one who has to take action. Would she be willing to call a DV hotline to describe what's going on and get their thoughts? Would she post her situation on the Recognizing & Dealing with Domestic Abuse board to get the opinions of those who have been or are in DV situations (this will likely result in many women telling her stories very similar and how the situations escalated)? Are you close enough to her location to see her frequently? (if she's long distance I wonder I she's more concerned than she wants you to think?) She can also file a No Contact order against him. This order isn't about violence or fear, you only need demonstrate you've made it clear you do not want contact, but the person continues to contact you. (emails/text messages are acceptable for showing continuing contact, and if the texts are frequent, threatening or otherwise weird, will underscore the problem to the court) Obviously, an order won't actually keep him from contact, but it will document the issue and help her stop him should it continue.
It sounds like he continues to gain access to her private information, has she changed all her passwords? If she has, then it's pretty clear he's put a spy program on her computer and continues to be updated on her new passwords. If that's the case, she needs to get some help to rid her computer of the program. Until she gets her computer scanned and cleaned (usual virus protection programs won't pick it up) she shouldn't use it, she should use another computer to change her passwords and to seek help in finding and ridding her computer of it. Let me know if she needs more information on where to go for help finding and deleting those programs.

Till is right. You will have to setup a proxy, most likely/easy on your new server, as I assume you use some kind of ADSL router, on which you cannot configure name based hosts. Route all port 80 traffic to your new server and based on your vhost name handle request for your new site on your new server immediately and use a forward proxy to route all traffic of your old site to your other server.

It won't be 52 - 4 weeks holiday = 48. Becuase thats 4 weeks paid holiday.
My contract says that I should be working 36 hours/week and I have 4 weeks holiday per a year. I bleleive my overtime salary rate should be calculated as follows:
36 * 48 = 1728 hours in a year
But they have calculated my salary based on 52 weeks rather than 48 (minus holidays) weeks.
36 * 52 = 1872 hours in a year >> this calculation reduces my hourly rate big time
Could someone tell me how overtime salary rates are calculated. Is it based on 52 weeks or (52 - 4 weeks holiday = 48).
sorry if you dont find this confusing.
It won't be 52 - 4 weeks holiday = 48. Becuase thats 4 weeks paid holiday.

Not really sure what you're saying here. Presumably you are term time only so you'll get paid for 39 or 40 weeks of term (depending on Inset days) + 4 weeks holiday + 2 weeks of bank holidays.
So you get
40+4+2 = 46 weeks. Therefore you get 46/52 of the full year salary for your post. Overtime rate should be based on the full year salary so it shouldn't matter how many weeks they pay you for as your hourly rate remains the same even if your annual salary is pro-rated.
Not sure if that makes sense or not.
Eg Annual Salary = £18980. Pro rated at 46/52 weeks = £16170 ish (what you'd get in gross pay). The hourly rate is still £10 an hour.
Think op is full time 52 weeks per year with 4 weeks hol (well it is 22 days to be fair)
So overtime as fn said is based on 52 as the 4 weeks are paid holiday. But most people do not get paid by hour they get yearly wage / 12 etc.
Also lot of leas have set overtime rate based on your grade level.
I will be honest if it is only one/two hours each week ask head if can work in lieu or what ever the term is.
As by time took ni/tax into account it is not worth it. Where as one hour each week * 52 then you got week a bit extra holiday.
so you're overtime rate, which is typically time and a half for the lower paid staff, is based on the hourly rate worked out for the 1872 hours.
Not the hourly rate of 1728 hours a year.
Or as russ has said for the odd hour here or there maybe better to arrange time off in lieu. That's what single status wants to 'encourage' for support staff on the slightly higher grades. Although if you're on one of the lower grades you should be entitled to the overtime rate......
but wait, if the schools are in effect exept from single status as the board of governors have veto, i'd imagine they can set whatever damn overtime policy they like.....irrespective of LEA.
Then keep quite as they could claim you been overpaid and ask for it back

Dr.Craig Keener: the most voracious North American biblical scholar!
Edmonia Lewis was one of the first African-American woman to acquire fame as a sculptor. One can easily determine the reason for this when this piece examined. The Death of Cleopatra is a massive demonstration of refusing to release life;although Cleopatra seems content and serene,there is a haunting theme that is regulated by her posture that suggests her battle with death is just commencing. Her hands appear to be convenient auxiliaries of pulsating life;they are swollen and tempered with magnificent blood flow. Even more radiant are her breasts,which are erect and puffed,as if immensely desiring to be fondled,just to remind the ancient queen that life is worth living for. An epic battle is in place,but the queen will surrender her breath to death;she will sing in silence for eternity. The dramatic moment has been captured beautifully.
Ms.Lewis was quite famous during her lifetime;she sculpted a bust of Ulysses S. Grant and met Civil War Colonel Robert Gould Shaw(commander of the 54th Massachusetts who was killed in action). She also made a substantial amount of money from her pieces,some as much as $50,000 dollars! (That's quite a lot for a woman of her time and stature.) This is a remarkable example of her talent as an artist. What a grand example of unblemished marble that has captured a fascinating woman from the Golden Age of the Ancient World…
(This piece resides at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington,D.C.).
The Battle of Gettysburg inhaled the largest amount of casualties of any battle in the Civil War with a little over 51,000. It also produced 63 Medals of Honor. (That is an unprecedented statistic!) Today,on July 3rd,2014,I pay homage to a few of the fallen soldiers who sacrificed their lives and spirit in pursuit of the noblest of truths,patriotism. May we NEVER forget their bravery. (These photos are courtesy of the Heinz History of Pittsburgh,Pa.) Gentlemen,I am unable to write any words that can express my appreciation for your valor. Thank-you…
First off,NEVER go to a Hollywood director for Biblical authenticity! This entire documentary,directed by james Cameron,is grossly inaccurate;however,I will deal with,what I feel,is a major flaw in this production. Simcha Jacobovici is a prominent Israeli filmmaker(who narrates this production) who,I assume,is fluent in Hebrew(although one wonders how he is capable of this egregious error in linguistics).
Here is the example of my contention:
Jacobovici places the Exodus from Egypt at 1500 BC;however,the pharaoh believed to be ruling at the time,Ahmose(according to the update archeology),actually ruled more earlier,1550-1525 BC;he never addresses this and simply moves his reign ahead to fit his theory! (Just an honest mistake,I guess…complete with no EVIDENCE or SUPPORT for this claim!)
Here is the clincher: The Hebrew word for "brother" is "Ah"( אח). The word "Mose",in Hebrew( מֹשֶׁה)is Moses.Somehow(without ANY linguistic explanation),Jacobovici argues that the word "Ahmose" means "brother of Moses". Linguistically,you cannot draw such a conclusion!(I learned these "tricks"from "Rabbi Shalom Bell" in the Jewish synagogue in Ambridge during my Hebrew studies with him in my college years.) Egyptian Hieroglyphics,when translated correctly,would have the name of this pharaoh read as follows,"Yahmes";"Ahmoses" is clearly a Semantic error! "Yahmes" has no Hebrew equivalent. However,in ancient Hebrew,"Ah Mose" means born of "iah",or "iah" is born.(Iah was an ancient Egyptian lunar deity.)The syllable "Ah" in "Ahmose" is theophoric for the deity "Iah". (You with me so far?) This is a commonality in Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Consequently,the name "Moses", is the English equivalent of the Greek Septuagint variant(Μωυσῆς)of the traditional Hebrew spelling of "Mosheh"! As I have demonstrated,Semantics and Linguistics can certainly turn subjects on their heads. With this contention,I am NOT asserting that the Hebrew Exodus did not take place;I am demonstrating that the dating and placing of events simply have been altered by this horrid production. Study your Bible,folks!

And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:

Would through the airy region stream so bright

(Leviticus 23: 5-8,NRSV)
With all the recent excavations and information published on Fort McIntosh, and all the admiration and respect it has collected the past few centuries, it comes to no surprise that it has constructed a loyal following to local and national historians as well as its citizens who have continued to reside near the remains. Indeed, it has attracted and influenced folklore, history, reenactments, books and even songs written about its remarkable "emblem" engraved on the heart of America; but yet, there remains another fort , though worthy of enviable mention, it has been forgotten by even the most talented and respected historical authors of recent time.
The most illustrious and charismatic local historians of Beaver County: Bausman, Agnew, Albert, and Warner have even successfully managed to halt its progress into the minds of the most sincere and avid students of local preservation and research. By far, its role played during the American Revolution and other episodes is well akin and grounded in the precious and natural development of our area. The name of this fort was "Reardon's Bottom", in Georgetown, Pa. In the pre-dawn creation of Beaver County, Georgetown held a very political and strategic location for numerous walks of folks. It was a major hub for fur traders, trappers, and a supply depot for river travelers; it was even considered a crossover to go "west" as well deep into the Northwest Territory. Even in the creative journals of Lewis and Clarke, they mention a fort in the area of Georgetown as well as military correspondence, and frontier river journals. Example: Fort Pitt.
In April of 1777, the Continental Congress ordered Gen. Edward Hand to arrive at Fort Pitt and take command of the troops already established there( which was the 13th Virginia Regiment ) and to obtain recruits and raise a militia in the surrounding region, noticeably southwestern Pa (during this period, Reardon's Bottom would have served as an outpost and defense location against hostile Indian attacks in our region). As a duty to his knowledge and position of the area, (Fort Pitt) a report was delivered to him of all the fortified posts along the Ohio River ; the names of most of these forts are rather well known: Fort Armstrong, Holiday's Cove, Fort Henry, and Fort Randolph; one was on the list that was completely oblivious: "Reardon's Bottom." But this post is "officially" documented in military correspondence of generals and officers of the Continental Army in our region. Its geographic location is about 40 miles from Fort Pitt with one officer and perhaps 15 men; the notice is dated June 3, 1777. Also, in the autumn of 1782, a gentleman named Christopher Hays composed a letter to Gen. William Ervine to inform him on his arduous process of surveying the "frontier land" of the western boundary of Pa. He writes: "we expect to strike the Ohio river about Thursday between Fort McIntosh and Raredon's Bottom(Reardon's Bottom).
This precise piece of correspondence is candid evidence that a fort was in full operation at Georgetown, Pa. Yet the date of the fort itself is surrounded on all its sides by folklore and obscurity. Some historians claim that it was originally built by the French when they arrived in the territory. This claim would uphold a substantial amount of truth considering the fact that they would have countless incursions from hostile Indians inhabiting the areas along the Ohio river and neighboring woodlands. To further substantiate these claims, more further military correspondence is needed: (1) According to Rev. Bausman , "in 1786 Benoni Dawson built a "fort" on the site of Georgetown, and his son, Thomas Dawson, one on the other side of the river some years later. These were doubtless, as we have said, strong log cabins…" (2) In John Reardon's application for a Revolutionary War pension dated September 7, 1833, listed his service from March 1, 1776, October 31, 1776; he was stationed on that part of the Ohio river building "blockhouses"(these were local houses of defense that all frontier families occupied when the occasion arose).
To better appreciate the purpose of the Fort, it must be understood that Beaver County, at that time, was largely "frontier" territory and was an important location for the Continental Army. Though a generous amount of trapping, trade, and blacksmithing occupied our region, there were no roads,wagon trails or railroads in the area yet. And since Georgetown was already a flourishing water route, it was easier and much cheaper for the early settlers to journey through the region by way of Georgetown, primarily because of the attraction of keel boats and canoes which it supplied and obtaining the essentials of the forts by the Beaver and Ohio rivers;this made it a paramount objective to the Continental Army generals. One must solely rely upon his own inquisitive imagination to fully augment the dangers that our descendents endured in our region. The origin of our history, though obscure and discombobulated among its auditors, is a transcended odyssey through adventure and informative credibility among its apostles. It is the candid consensus of local historians that the "original" site of the fort lay at the south bank of the Ohio at the mouth of Mill Creek or Nash Run. As a result of the word "Bottom" they have convinced themselves that the fort was located along the river at the mouth of a stream; there is no physical evidence to support this conjecture. The ancient site of the historic relic is veiled in the tapestry of the brush, trees, and earth that is Georgetown; though, purported still, by a few of its inhabitants, patiently anticipating rediscovery.
Despite its location, or the spelling of its name, it is without question that Reardon's Bottom was a significant structure, occupied by the Continental Army, and defended and saved the lives of countless citizens of our locality. The imminent role that Georgetown played in the early phase of the American Revolution is unprecedented in the annals of the heroic contribution made to the birth of America and the infancy development of Beaver County.
During the period of Great Lent,I absolutely love sharing poetry;it presents a form of penance because the soul is thirsty for a new creation;however,I prefer mine to be in a constant mode of servitude to verse,lest I,God forbid,cease to appreciate the beauty (and appreciation)of emotion inebriated with ink…
"Jesus of the Scars" by Edward Shillito
If we have never sought, we seek Thee now;
Thine eyes burn through the dark, our only stars;
We must have sight of thorn-pricks on Thy brow,
We must have Thee, O Jesus of the Scars.
The heavens frighten us; they are too calm;
In all the universe we have no place.
Our wounds are hurting us; where is the balm?
Lord Jesus, by Thy Scars, we claim Thy grace.
If, when the doors are shut, Thou drawest near,
Only reveal those hands, that side of Thine;
We know to-day what wounds are, have no fear,
Show us Thy Scars, we know the countersign.
The other gods were strong; but Thou wast weak;
They rode, but Thou didst stumble to a throne;
But to our wounds only God's wounds can speak,
And not a god has wounds, but Thou alone.

Cowabunga, it's the First XI World Cup bulletin!
Here's what's happening in newly-eliminated South Africa today:
Wednesday 23 June 2010
15:00 Slovenia v England, Port Elizabeth, BBC One
15:00 USA v Algeria, Bloemfontein, BBC Red Button
19:30 Ghana v Germany, Johannesburg, ITV1
19:30 Australia v Serbia, Nelspruit, ITV4
Sigh, England. Bloody large sigh. Built up, as ever, as potential winners. Looking, as ever, technically inept compared to almost every other side in the competition. Pilloried, as ever, as overpaid, over-hyped failures by the newspapers that pay them thousands for ghosted columns and love repeating the statement that England's is The Best League In The World. SIGH. All this and more can be forgotten with a convincing win against Slovenia today. Three points guarantees England passage to the last 16, a high-scoring draw might be ok if Algeria and USA also draw. A defeat means beheading for the team, its management and the entire BBC presenting team. Play up, eh chaps?
A win for either Algeria or USA will get them into the round of 16 if England fail to beat Slovenia. It would be Algeria's first ever appearance in the knockout round of the World Cup, but USA have beaten African teams in their last two games against them.
In Group D a draw for Ghana against Germany guarantees the African team progress to the next round. Australia could pull off a shock qualification if they beat Serbia and Ghana triumph over Germany.
On this day in 1982 Brazil twatted New Zealand 4-0 in Seville. The All Whites finished the group stage with an impressive goal difference of -10.
Group C, Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth. Capacity: 46,000
Okay lads, the joke's over. We've all had a good giggle, but the time has come to suck it up and qualify, comprendez? Let's hope so. Let's hope the Fab 23 appreciate the magnitude of this match as, if they don't, Matjaz Kek's band of efficient but unremarkable footballing journeymen could spring what would barely even qualify as a surprise after the Algeria "incident". And make no bones about it, the 29th best team in the world like springing surprises – usurping the Czech Republic to finish second in their group and then shocking the mighty Russia in the play-offs. Still, England can't cock up that badly, can they? If they do expect a tearful Capello resignation, Rooney effigy burnings up and down the country and the basically the same thing all over again in four year's time.
MILIVOJE NOVAKOVIC (above)
How many disgraced ex-captains does it take to make an England-Slovenia match? Two – John Terry and Milivoje Novakovic, Slovenia's answer to Peter Crouch who was stripped of FC Koln's captaincy after a tardy return from international duty. Oooh, naughty. He is – but unfortunately he's also got a keen eye for goal, boshing in 20 goals in Germany's second tier to ensure Koln's promotion to the Bundesliga in 2008. The 6ft 4in 30-year-old also has a fairly decent strike rate in international football, with 14 goals from 37 appearances, including a hat-trick against the mighty, um, Trinidad & Tobago.
1 Brazil's Pele and Vava are two of the four players to have scored three goals in the World Cup final matches. Who are the other two?

I love it when my hubby rolls me over and pins me down on the bed and spanks my ass with his hand until I can't stand it any longer. That's when he starts pulling my hair and talking dirty to me telling me what a little slut I am while he is fucking my ass. He really ends up pounding my ass hard as hell and I always cum 3 or 4 times before he cums all over my ass and back. Can't wait until he does it to me again....hehehe

Abuja gun battle leaves 21 deadComment on this story
Abuja - Detainees suspected of being members of the Islamist militant group Boko Haram overpowered their guards at a prison near Nigeria's presidential villa in Abuja, seizing a rifle and triggering a gun battle that killed 21 people, security officials said.
The prisoners struck on Sunday as the guards from Nigeria's State Security Service (SSS) came in to feed them at their headquarters' prison near the residence of President Goodluck Jonathan, SSS spokeswoman Marilyn Ogar said.
The military was deployed to quell the unrest. Ogar did not say how many of the dead were inmates or security personnel.
A security source said at least one guard was killed in the gun fight before the military turned up.
Jail breaks by Islamists in Nigeria are common. Boko Haram militants, who are fighting to create an Islamic state in Nigeria and are seen as the main threat to Africa's top oil producer, attacked the main military barracks in the northeast, freeing dozens of prisoners on March 14. Most were killed trying to escape, witnesses on the scene said.
An al-Qaeda-linked group called Ansaru claimed a daring jail break at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad headquarters in Abuja in November 2012 that freed dozens of prisoners. - Reuters

I sent a query, synopsis and 10 pages to a popular agent who is no reply = no. Two weeks later, I received an amazingly sweet letter in which she gave compliments, made suggestions and then told me she'd already sent an email to a colleague of hers (the VP of their agency) and really thought she'd like it so would I send it to the colleague as well, with the referring agent's name in the subject header. Firstly, wow - because this was based on the 10 pages and synopsis, which I know because she referred to plot points. That was in [6-8 weeks ago]. My first assumption is that a referral will at least garner a rejection letter, even from an agency that doesn't reply if not interested. (Is this a bad assumption?) I don't intend to nudge, since it's just a query, but I also think it was awesome for the first agent to go through the trouble and would hate to not be diligent about the opportunity she sort of created. After getting writer feedback that insists I should nudge, I thought I'd better ask an agent (I trust). :)
This is really exciting. Congratulations!
According to the dates you are giving me the agent has had the material, which I assume is a full manuscript, for 6-8 weeks. At this point you're probably on the early edge of hearing back on a full submission, even if the material was requested. My suggestion is give it about 10 weeks or so (while some agents are really fast, it's not uncommon for agents to take an average of three months to respond to full submissions), and then I would send an email to check the status.
I agree that you should definitely receive a response on requested material, but I don't have insight to this agency's exact policy either.
It is pretty clear in the question that this is NOT a full manuscript, it is a query. Does that change your answer?
To the person who asked the question: I had this happen to me with an agent. First agent read the full and bowed out, said to query agent #2 with clear note about this being a referral. I was so excited. My assumption was that a referral would carry some weight but I never heard back from agent #2. It was very disappointing. My advice: keep querying other agents.
That's pretty cool of the first agent to help you out like that for sure, congrats, and good on this person for checking with someone about what to do. Better safe than sorry, right?

The Capistrano Unified school board voted 5-2 Monday to tentatively approve the following cuts:
$7 million: 266 K-12 teachers
$3.4 million: 57 bus transportation employees
$3.29 million: 36 resource teachers and other instructional support staff
$4.06 million: 39 district-level administrators and support staff
$1.78 million: 29 groundskeepers and maintenance workers
$1.4 million: Supplies, equipment and services
$0.9 million: Leasing of an unused district office building
$2.5 million: Transfer of reserve money from the employee health and welfare fund to the general fund
$2 million: Redirecting of some grant funds to the general fund
Superintendent A. Woodrow Carter's base salary is the largest among Orange County's five biggest school districts. Capistrano Unified is the county's second-largest school district.
Capistrano Unified
$273,000 annual base; $324,000 with benefits and retirement
Oversees: 50,672 students at 56 campuses
Garden Grove Unified
$240,968 annual base; $253,913 with stipend and car allowance
Oversees: 48,450 students at 70 campuses
Orange Unified
$240,236 annual base; $247,540 with stipends
Oversees: 30,220 students at 42 campuses
Santa Ana Unified
$240,000 annual base; about $250,000 with benefits
Oversees: 54,821 students at 63 campuses
Saddleback Valley Unified
$218,031 annual base; $258,470 with stipends and deferred compensation
Oversees: 33,989 students at 37 campuses
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO - Capistrano Unified trustees approved a $972,000, three-year contract for the new superintendent on Monday, some three hours before they gave tentative approval to cut $27 million and about 427 employees from next year's budget in response to possible state cutbacks.
The 11.4 percent pay raise will give Superintendent A. Woodrow Carter, who had been making a $245,000 base salary since he became head of the district in September, a base salary of $273,000 and overall yearly compensation of $324,000.
Trustees announced the contract, but not its details, during their public session on the budget cuts, attended by more than 200 parents, staff and teachers.
School board President Mike Darnold, who compared Carter's $28,000 raise to half of an average teacher's salary, said it was justified and appropriate given the superintendent's responsibilities.
Darnold said Carter didn't learn the details of the final contract until Tuesday.
The budget cuts would eliminate 266 teachers and 161 other staff members, including district-level administrators, and increase average class sizes in grades one through three to 31.5 students from 20. More than half the district's bus routes would be cut.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger last month proposed suspending the Proposition 98 provisions that provide K-12 public schools a guaranteed funding source that grows each year with the economy and the number of students. Most school districts typically receive about 70 percent of their budget revenue from the state.
Monday night's emotionally charged public hearing on the budget brought repeated pleas from teachers and parents to not cut the class-size reduction program. Some school board members proposed to eliminate step salary increases for teachers and cut management's salaries to keep class sizes smaller.
"A lot of kids are going to fall through the cracks," said 29-year educator Suzie Dixon, a second-grade teacher at Vista del Mar Elementary School in San Clemente. "I've seen the changes in educational standards and the benefits of class-size reduction."

The hotel is a lovely building, and is a ten minute bus journey to Sarigerme beach. The manager Ozgur is welcoming and extremely friendly. Nothing it too much trouble. The other hotel staff is also so welcoming. The traditional breakfast is delicious and well presented.
The early morning call of prayer is very noisy! Our shower was leaking a bit at the side and our floor was always wet. More storage is needed in the bedroom, maybe some drawers.
Everything the charm of the building the decoration and the owners and staff were all lovely and it was the owners husbands surprise 40th birthday and we were invited to his party which we felt very honoured to have been invited to their special night along with their friends we will be back every time we visit our Gulet thank you Sir Paul and Margo
Banana Trees Pool and Garden Sweet look Kind & Funny Staff Kind environment Great breakfast
The staff first of all, so nice and helpful, service minded. The hotel has a fantastic atmosphere. Everything is considered into the small details. The breakfast was fantastic and so was the dinner we bought one night. The best we had during the stay, and we tried some restaurants. This hotel must be marvelous for couples, as romantic as it is. The cleaning is excellent too. One of my best holiday stays!
Not much to complain about, but wifi in the room is not working very well. The room sizes are a bit small. We were two friends sharing and bought three bedroom, that was necessary, because the two bedroom was small. But we also had a 8 night stay.
breakfast, common areas
room was small and not well equipped, looked bare and badly designed, no tv, very weak water pressure so difficult to take a shower, lots of noise from the street, accessibility issues (lots of steps everywhere)
Delicious home-made buffet-style breakfast. Good size rooms. Pool seemed very nice though we did not use it.
Wifi is quite spotty. Water pressure from shower could be better.
Staff are excellent in particular the manager Oscar, the breakfast is good in the morning, the staff are always tidying up , we stayed for three days and the rooms were cleaned everyday. Great
Little bit more than described by booking . Com
The welcome drink even at midnight, the friendly staff, the delicious breakfast, the charming decor and the pool with its elegant sun loungers and shades.
The hotel was very nice. Like an oasis in the countryside. Very friendly staff and cozy garden with pool. Lovely and rich breakfast, we would gladly return.
Very Peaceful for recuperating after long year
No lunch or dinner service but restaurants in town were close by and Dolphinn very good ..
Breakfast and food served. Close to airport. Inner decoration and arrangement.
The village Sarigerme turns out to be a more problematic place every year.
The hosts where absolutely amazing. They took every opportunity to make me feel at home. The breakfast display was immaculate and filled with interesting unconventional dishes which gave a sense for the area and the dinner I had there was the best on my whole stay in Turkey
friendly staff and excellent breakfast. excellent garden and pool
no insulation in the rooms, very noisy
Decoration of the room was great. People are kind.
Breakfast was poor. Lots of fly.
The hotel lives up to the pictures, it is just beautiful. I was worried because there aren't very many pictures of the room but the room was beautiful too. We actually stayed in 2 rooms during our 1 week stay and both very very similar. When we were shown to our room it was one above reception without a pool view so asked whether there were any rooms available with a pool view. There was one available but only for part of our stay so we agreed to take it and then revert to the original room for the rest of our stay. The beds have a memory foam topper and good quality bedding so the beds are comfortable. The air conditioning is brilliant and all beds have mosquito nets although I don't think we needed it in the room. I got but 8 times during my stay but my partner didnt get bit at all. The hotel is about 20-30 mins from the airport which was perfect. We arranged transfers before at a cost of £42 but a taxi would be more. The food at the hotel was presented beautifully and the beers were served in glasses that had been kept in the freezer. The staff were extremely helpful and the pool and bar areas are very impressive. It's like a tropical paradise with banana trees and seating areas with drapes. It has been designed very well and was a perfect setting for a romantic holiday. The sun loungers had cumfy padding with umbrellas and there was a good mix of areas for sunbathing and sitting in the shade. The pool is deep and hotel is not really a kids hotel although there were 2 groups of kids during our stay. The hotel was really quiet during the first half of our stay and we had the pool to ourselves for a few days. It got busy as the weekend approached so I think people I only stay a few nights with it being a b&b. The hotel is located in the the village which has one main road running through it with shops on either side. The hotel is located on the main road but we weren't disturbed by traffic noise.
The showers weren't very powerful and the mosque woke us every morning at 5am with music calling people to pray. Wasps round the breakfast buffet was a big issue. Sarigerme is probably a little too quiet for us in the evening so we went to dalyan a few nights. The price of drinks at the hotel were the most expensive in the village.
I stayed 5 nights at this hotel, which was the best in 7 weeks of traveling in Turkey. Very comfortable beds, daily housekeeping, beautifully designed, lovely pool and surrounds, wonderful staff, and the best breakfast anywhere! The owner is dedicated to professional customer service, and it shows in every detail. Highly recommended
Hospitality of the staff, design, quality of the food, pool area, breakfast and the cups of cups of teas :)
Payment upon arrival was a bit wierd, lack of TV and the other stuff that we used to have in regular 3-star hotels' room...
Myself and my friend were extremely impressed with the overall feel of Han Boutique. Staff were friendly and hospitable and the hotel itself was beautiful. The personal touches made it that extra bit special. I'd definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family alike. Keep up the good work :)
Having to leave!
A little oasis with a magical pool area. We ate both lunch and dinner at the restaurant and it was delicious!!
Fabulous hotel in a great location to Dalaman Airport. Staff were fantastic and it has a lovely pool. We spent the day chilling out around the pool listening to their excellent playlist. Just loved it.
Nothing it was wonderful
The feel of the hotel. It was a little bohemian yet cosy. Good selection of food for breakfast, very friendly night staff.
The instant coffee at breakfast.
beautiful boutique hotel, very tasteful, smart hotel, excellent personal friendly staff, the place feels like it has been created with love and care, romantic and charming
Very nice hotel in a quiet peaceful setting with a lovely shaded seating area by the pool. All staff very friendly and about 15min drive to the airport
Loved the pretty garden and pool area; the breakfast; the friendly service
We stumbled upon Han Boutique Hotel as we were looking for 1 nights accommodation whilst waiting for a transfer the next day. The hotel was beautiful and far exceeded our expectations, the staff went out of their way to help and the breakfast was one of the best we had in a month of travelling through Turkey. The hotel is at the top end of town and about a 10 minute easy walk to the beach. Would definitely recommend.

Top 5 Reasons Entrepreneurs Need A Good Night's Sleep
Posted: Updated:
Chief of Instagram Kevin Systrom recently told the Financial Times that his required eight hours of sleep was "terrible for an entrepreneur." Systrom, obviously a smart guy when it comes to business -- Facebook just paid a cool $1 billion for his fledgling photo-sharing app company -- was actually dead wrong in this assumption. In fact, sleep is critically important, not only to the basic function of the brain, but to the type of thinking skills that can make or break an entrepreneur or businessperson.

Music will fill the air Friday for the 6th Annual Southern Showcase.
More than 30 high school marching bands from across the tri-state area are heading to Dothan to see who's group beats out the rest.
News 4's Demetria McClenton has more on the competition.
It's one of the biggest and loudest contests in the area.
"We have been working our tails off," said Northview High School's Band Director Joseph Aguilar.
They're not the only ones.
They're teaming up with Dothan High School's band to host this music competition.
"We have 3 band judges. These kids have done a lot to get prepared for these contests," said Aguilar.
31 bands are coming from Georgia, Florida, and Alabama.
They've been marching to the beat, hitting the right notes, and marking field positions since July.
"To see high school kids give their all in performances is a great thing," said Dothan High School's Band Director Steve McLendon.
It takes up to $30,000 to put on the competition.
Despite the rivalry between the two Dothan hosts.
"We split it 50-50 with all the profit. Last year we made almost $10,000 each," said McLendon.
The band competition is both a win-win for Dothan City schools and the city of Dothan.
Area businesses like restaurants and hotels look to reap the benefits of the competition.
They can stand to earn thousands of dollars.
"A lot of bands will come in and go to the mall and let their students have a break," said McLendon.
Whether you're in the mood for jazz or you want to hear the classics, the Southern Showcase has it all for you.
"This is a good morale booster for them to come and perform," said Aguilar.
The money the Dothan high schools receive goes towards uniforms, band repairs, equipment, and transportation.
The first band hits the field at 11:00 am at the Rip Hewes Stadium.
Tickets are $6.00.

There is a monastery near shanghai which has weekend meditation classes…. my luck! and a way to try for 2 days before getting into a 10 day program.
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

There is a monastery near shanghai which has weekend meditation classes…. my luck! and a way to try for 2 days before getting into a 10 day program.
Not the best place to get fit! Finally found a great gym where sound is feel like in a disco (I like to listen to my own stuff) and there are no lines for machines.
10 days and I only missed 2 times (force majeure)!
Need to find 15 days for this. I am in China so its not easy to find one retreat here, need to go to Thailand or Burma!
I have living/working away from France for 25 years… I want to return!
