I used to think my problem was portion control.
Since I've never been much of a snacker and I don't have a sweet tooth, I always assumed my weight issues came from what I ate, once I sat down for a meal. I was always Ms. I'll have seconds. Maybe even thirds. Dessert not necessary. My pals used to compare my meal time appetite to a linebacker.
But as I look back on it, I realize my seconds and thirds mostly involved carbs. Maybe I'd get a little more meat to go with the bread, pasta, potatoes or rice I really wanted, but mostly my seconds and thirds were about carbs.
For years, I called this my difficulty with "portion control."
I now realize it was my addiction to carbs, and as I have grown older, my metabolic syndrome. I'm very tall and got away w/more weight looking not horrible on me for years. Then came the time it really didn't look good on me, and my blood panels looked worse. So I went LC in a good way for me (did it years ago as a "diet" and while it worked, I treated it like a diet, didn't learn much about what I was doing or how my body works, and fell off the wagon, and regained every pound and more.)
But doing LC the right way, for me, this time, I have had many realizations. But the one I wanted to concentrate on here, is that if I cut out most of the carbs, I do not have portion control issues! In fact, I often leave food on my plate these days, from the FIRST helping. Maybe not a lot, but the idea that I wouldn't clean my plate and go back for seconds, maybe thirds, is amazing to me.
I guess what I'm saying in short, is that I have finally realized that I had a carb addiction, and that it was that, not portion control that was driving my weight gain. Been thinking this for awhile now, and wanted to write it out tonight.
Because "portion control" is often sited as the problem in weight control. All those over generalized articles in women's "health and fitness" magazines that I used to read. Don't read them anymore, because I realize they don't answer to my problems.
And I realize that for some, in any woe, portion control is still an issue. But for me it turned out that wasn't my problem at all. And after all these years....
But no matter. We're never too old to learn something new, in general, and about ourselves. And this second time on LC has totally changed how I look at what I used to eat, and how I look at what I eat now.
I consider that a HUGE NSV.
I love your personal realization! This especially resonates with me
Great post!
Wow, Blue Skies, congrats for making that connection for yourself!
good post. ive also come to realize that carbs are an addiction for me. i DIDNT eat huge portions but could do an all carb day happily, and since i am.not tall, the pounds addedup quick. now i too understand now how intolerant my body is to carbs añd starches and that understanding helps keep me on track.
Interesting. I know that I could "make room" for dessert a lot. Mostly it was forced, and I was already full.
Good post. I feel similar. I would go back and eat mashed potatoes even when I was already full and then ask myself why I did that? I'm starting to "get it" now too.
Thanks for your post!
I wish I could say the same thing! Sadly, I found out on vacation that even though I've lost a lot of pounds and inches, I still have a problem controlling myself around food when I have a *good excuse* to let go.
I went on vacation for 3-1/2 weeks and I ate only on-plan foods. BUT I stuffed myself until I was physically ill. I ate 10 pounds of seafood over the course of a single day. And that's not counting the salads and cheeses I ate that day. I was physically uncomfortable but I kept eating. Something inside me is *broken* when it comes to food. I've changed the way I look. I've dramatically changed clothing sizes. I've stuck to Atkins -- by the book -- like a champ for more than a year. But that insidious food demon is still lurking inside me, just waiting for me to let my guard down.
I think part of my problem is that I felt like I was *cured* of my previous food issues. I guess I felt like I was a different person, since I look like a different person, and I let my guard down. But I learned from my out-of-control behavior on vacation that I'm not a *normal* person when it comes to food. Sadly, I don't think I'll ever be normal. Something inside me wants to eat until there's no more food left.
I thought I had severe NES (night eating syndrome) because no matter how hard I tried to stop eating after supper it seemed hopeless because of the strong compulsion to overeat in private after the evening meal. I couldn't even get back on Atkin's for a full month because every night after a perfect eating day I would blow it. But now finally after 18 days of Induction without blowing it, I don't even feel like eating anymore after supper. I am finally satisfied.
What I did was to first replace the sweet with something else, with protein, like a piece of turkey with cheese or bacon. I can overeat fat for some reason but not protein, it makes me fuller quicker. So a combo with protein and a bit of fat was best.
Then I thought, why am I eating at all? I might actually be hungry from not eating enough at dinner, so I have been making sure that I am full after eating dinner, almost TOO full, just to be sure. And that works for me. Then if I want a "treat" at night, I will have a glass of sparkling mineral water with a few drops of stevia and some lemon, or rosewater.
Great thread Blue Skies, way to get us thinking! :)
I am so glad you had a self discovery, it is so empowering when that happens! :jumpjoy::jumpjoy:
Still, by your description, I hear your concern. And I think sometimes our gifts are wrapped in ways we don't like from the outside, but when we "open" them we find things of enormous value. Seems yours was that you realized you are human, with your share of "tics." Yours is food, others struggle with other things. And knowing that is the whole ball game. It is humbling, yes, to realize you hadn't solved all your problems with food, but imo, humility is a lovely place to be once you get comfortable there.
Vacations are hard. Everyone here struggles with them. I've had two vacations so far this summer, stayed on plan and didn't gain on either. But I checked in with my little group here almost every day. And I think that was helpful beyond words. In a week and a half we're leaving for Columbia and I think international travel will be a much bigger challenge. But anyway you slice it, vacations tempt us to put ourself in a bubble, as if we're in a place where what we eat doesn't count, and there's part of the whole vacation philosophy that makes us believe we should have time off from all our woes,
and I mean that in both senses of the word.
I really hope you write more about this here, and your journey and discoveries as you are in this new stage of realize the traps waiting for all of us in maintenance---when that glow of our weight loss has worn off a bit. Your voice here has been so helpful in the past, your spirit so inspiring. We still need you, and I hope we can still help and support you.
And I just want you to know Punkin, that I'm just like you at a party. At least a big one. I'm not socially comfortable, even though I am a social, chatty person in smaller groups, and I too park myself by the buffet. One reason is to "nibble." The other is that I've found if I'm near the food or bar I don't have to circulate or feel awkward, everyone ends up coming to me because I'm near the goodies. :laugh:
But I don't kid myself that I won't always have to pay attention to what happens to me on carbs. I'm not on a stringent LC program---I shoot for an average of 30 grams a day. And this has worked just fine for me in losing weight, and even allowed for the occasional treat without bad effect.
But I know this has to be a lifestyle for me, or I'm going to put that weight right back on. Thankfully, the more I stay on plan, the less I want those carbs.
Thanks to all those who left thoughtful and interesting comments here. Just want to say that once again, tonight I am so full from half of what I used to eat, all on plan of course. And I am not only satisfied, the thought of more food is totally unwelcome, even something carby doesn't sound good because I am sated. This is what LC does for me, and I just hope I can hang on to this for a long time to come.
Such a nice discovery! I was one that made repeated trips back for second and 3rd helpings too. It seemed that I was the veritable bottomless pit until I dropped the carbs.
The relief I have found is almost indescribable.
Good for you for finding out what triggers the overeating. I think it's only when we understand why we overeat, choose the foods we do, or whatever our bad patterns of eating are, that we can start to fix them...or at least be aware of them so we don't fall headlong into the abyss and not come out until we have all that weight to lose again.
Vacations...yeah that's a tough one. My husband and I go down to Florida for 2 weeks twice a year to visit our granddaughter (and of course her parents:D) and, in the past, I'd look forward to eating at a couple of my favorite places. Last time we went, I refrained because I had *just* gotten off my insulin and didn't want to screw that up. I'm hoping I can find that same strength when we go again in September.
I have just recently realized that I probably have a similar relationship with food as an alcoholic has with alcohol. So things like parties and vacations will have to experienced in small steps. For me, going on a week long all inclusive vacation right now while I am learning to eat would be out of the question. Maybe if I had to order AND PAY FOR each meal it might be different. I used to think going to a buffet was the way to go for a low carb diet, that way I could just take only the low carb foods and all would be good. However, I noticed that whenever I went out to a buffet I did choose all the low carb foods, but I took way too much food and overate by 100s of calories. So I know an all inclusive vacation where the food was unlimited would be a disaster for someone like me.
Maybe some day I will be able to eat in a way that doesn't pack on pounds of excess body fat, but with me it is more than just the carbs that are the issue, it is a combination of factors which I need to figure out and develop strategies for. I have an upcoming party that I am almost terrified to attend but thanks to the people on LCF I have some strategies that I have collected which I hope are going to help me get through it!
I am never satisfied with anything that is high-carb. I also have a difficult time stopping when I've eaten more than enough. I've been back on plan for about a week now, and I find that stopping is no problem with low carbs... it's amazing how much my appetite has changed!
I *LOVE* this thread.
I outgrew my habit of compulsive, secret binge-eating when I turned 19 or so (although I do it about 1-2 times a year still, when I'm really stressed), but I still think any instance when you're not hungry, but still pushing food in your mouth isn't normal eating. I really want to get to the point where I almost never do that, but don't know if it's possible for me.
My parents interfered a lot with my eating habits when I was a little kid (like teasing me if I wanted to have seconds at dinner, forbidding junk food) and I began secretly snacking, hiding candy wrappers in my night-table drawer, seizing any opportunity when my parents weren't around (which were many, as a latch-key kid) to eat 'forbidden foods'. I'm still dealing with those consequences at 26.
With my little boy (4), I'm really trying to not make a big deal out of food, not attaching anything like shame to it (which was what I felt when I was little and wanted an extra pork chop). We give him 90% super-healthy stuff, and he LOVES to eat. He's still within a normal weight range, but a little plump, and my Mom has already begun hinting that we should start interfering, but I'm just ignoring her.
So fade out, fade in, when she gets to the dorm, she goes hog wild on the treats and the starches. When she'd borrow my jackets I'd find the pockets literally overflowing with candy bar wrappers the next day. She gained 50 pounds our first year of college. You are not alone. Gently guiding a child is a lot different than trying to shame a child into compliance, or trying to forbid a child reasonable things.
Sounds like you're doing great w/your son. Be as patient and gentle with yourself as you are with him. You're still so young, and you've come pretty far w/your eating issues. And, you're here! Trying to find a healthy path for yourself. Sure wish I'd known what I know about myself and carbs way back then! The way I see it, you're ahead of the game. So much life left, so much time to get better, if not perfect, at everything.
As much as my parents prided themselves on "healthy" eating and not allowing junk food/second helpings, the food they chose was not really good at all (and unvaried). Only one kind of fruit (apples), white noodles, white rice, all the time. The fridge was always bare, and it wasn't because we had money problems -- it was because they thought having a loaded refrigerator was bourgeois and repugnant. Also, their appetites/eating habits had also been heavily interfered with when they were growing up. Also, they were carelessly bad cooks, not bothering to do basic things to make food taste better (like overcooking everything).
I really think that if I had had the rich variety of good foods that my son has -- and thoughtful food-related parenting -- I wouldn't have had secretive eating issues when I was a kid/teen or the impulse/shame of overeating now, still.
It's so funny, I hadn't connected all the dots until now. This is the first time that I've considered the fact that my overeating issues may not be my entire fault. LCF is like therapy.
Can't tell you how much I hope you stick with us here, on whatever woe that keeps you feeling good about yourself, with a healthy sense of well being. Because I believe we have the power to make decisions for ourselves as adults, that our loving, if far from perfect parents, may not agree with, but will just have to deal with. After the age of 21, we are our own keepers, and that means taking the responsibility for that, no matter what baggage we are carrying from our childhoods, and we're all carrying some baggage---good and bad. Up to us to decide what we want to keep, and what we want to leave behin.
Again, you seem ahead of the game on this, on "connecting the dots."
Texas Lady, I had the same problem. I always wanted to keep on eating after my dinner, even though I was full. Now that I am on LC I don't have that problem anymore.
Speaking of portion control (although I know this isn't what the thread is about), I have realized that I have to prepare even smaller portions during low-appetite days, because I 1) get full really fast and 2) loathe food going to waste.
I also have noticed that I have a stupid tendency to think "well, I'm already full and not even enjoying this anymore, but I better fuel up so I don't feel hungry again in 2 hrs!" It may really be that I still feel weird about snacking.
Hope I can overcome because I really think most of the magic behind LC is reduced appetite. I've been reading maintenance members' meal logs and they all seem to eat barely a handful of food at every meal.
Sorry for going all self-confessional on your thread, Blue Skies :)
Blue Skies, this article made me think of you:

I Have Cheated - Now What?:
Love or temporary guilty pleasure???

Zia's Stuffed Animal Rescue
How the Zia Plush rescue came to be:
Hello there. My name is Zia and this is how my stuffed animal rescue began. As a young girl I was never particularly interested in dolls but I adored my stuffed animals. As I grew up that love never faded. Going to thrift stores and garage sales it always broke my heart to see all of the plushes that were abandoned. One day I found 2 bags full of stuffed animals that someone wanted to throw away simply because the daughter had outgrown them. In one of those bags I found the most ADORABLE baby panther who i instantly fell in love with and still have to this day. Then it dawned on me that if I could fall in love with an abandon plushie then there must be people out there that could still enjoy these toys, they just don't have access to them. Thus the Zia Stuffed Animal Rescue was born.
My Mission:
Now even though I wish I could rescue every plush I see I know that isn't possible so in general I try to stick with "high quality" animals. That being said I won't turn down any plush that is given to me to rehome. Now I do charge a small fee for each animal depending on their value but this is only so that I can continue rescuing and to pay for their restoration. My goal is to rescue and rehome as many cuddly critters as I can of course but it also goes deeper than that. I know just how important my own plushes are to me, and sadly I know that sometimes our friends get lost or destroyed. So I look to reconnect people with the plushes they once loved as children. If you had a stuffed animal that meant so much to you I will do my best to find it or at least one as similar as possible. Again I most likely won't be able to find the EXACT stuffed animal, only something similar, so please don't send a request if you won't accept ANYTHING else.
How to adopt:
Now adopting from Zia's stuffed animal rescue is quite simple. You send me an email (which can be found on the "contact us" page) detailing which plush, or plushes, you are interested in adopting, and why, along with your zip code so that I can calculate your shipping. I'm very sorry but at this time I do NOT offer shipping outside of the USA. Following that I will email you will said calculated shipping and what your total would be. If you are ready to commit to adopting one of my animals I will have you send the payment to my paypal and the following saturday your new friend will be shipped out. Simply click the "Adopt" button on the menu to view the babies we currently have ready for adoption.

Downgrade of the U.S. debt having costly effects
NATIONAL (FOX44) - We're seeing the first real, and costly, effects of the downgrade of U.S. debt.
The selling pressure intensified on Wall Street.
A downgrade of the U.S. government's debt by ratings firm standard and poor's over the weekend sent the markets free falling at the opening bell.
The composite volume on the New York Stock Exchange surpassed those of may seventh of last year, the day after the infamous flash crash.
The DOW dropped six hundred thirty five points to close below the 11-thousand mark for the first time since October, 19th 2010.
Markets open for the first time since S&P downgraded the U.S.'s prestigious triple a credit rating for the first time in history.
The DOW opened sharply lower, and plunged 300 points in the first hour.
Things got worse, the credit ratings of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac also downgraded.
President Obama calls the political fiasco leading up to the debt deal partially to blame for the downgrade.
S & P says DC's deep political divide is part of the reason it issued the downgrade. It also doesn't think last week's debt ceiling deal contained enough spending cuts.

Category: Celtic baby names
By Linda Rosenkrantz
I must admit that I'm addicted to birth announcements. Not just to our own babyberries'—which are, of course, the best–but to any others I can lay my eyes on. I love the British choices that Elea posts regularly on BritishBabyNames.com, and also try to follow, among others, those in the Irish and Scottish newspapers.
Here are some entries that I've come across there recently, along with some particularly tasty sibling names that have been included–making a nice mix of authentic Gaelic names and cool modern choices.
AIMEE VIOLET, sister of Alaoise
ARIA ADRIENNE, sister of Cosette
by Eleanor Nickerson of British Baby Names
Manx is one of the six Celtic languages that hail from the British isles. It is the native language of the Isle of Man, an island uniquely situated between the coasts of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. From its highest point, Snaefell, you can even see all four countries on a clear day.
Over the centuries it has passed from and between Welsh, Viking, English and Scottish rule, though now has its own democratic parliament. The Manx language — a close relative of Irish and Scot Gaelic — was spoken up until the 1970s, when its last native speaker died. However, it is now beginning to see some signs of revival.
When it comes to Celtic baby names, it's easy enough to research the history of Irish and Scottish names, and also to check out the most popular names of the year. But what names are parents in those countries using for their kids right now? How many of the names have brogues and burrs and how many would as easily be found on announcements in the US and UK.? Are there any fabulous first/middle combos that we'd be surprised to see on our local birth cerificates?
I've been scouring some Irish and Scottish newspaper birth announcements and picked out some of the most striking discoveries—including some of the most noteworthy sibsets. All these babies were born during the last couple of months.
Irish Girls
British name maven Eleanor Nickerson, aka Elea, has her finger on the pulse of naming trends in the UK.
For most people outside of the UK, "British Names" are typified by the old Victorian legacy of Empire and afternoon tea, or the ethereal mystery of ancient Celtic folklore. The stereotype often favours rarefied aristocratic favourites such as Percival and Araminta, or tongue-twisting indigenous Gaelic choices like Aonghus or Caoimhe.
If you look at the most popular names that are actually used in Britain today you will see a much more varied picture. Like other Western countries there is a large influence from film and television, a popular cult of celebrity, and a growing awareness of global fashions (yes, we have many Neveahs and Jaydens, too). And yet, even in our modernised naming practices, British trends still manage to make a subtle nod to history in a style that feels quite unique.
Guest blogger Eleanor Nickerson follows her recent keen analysis of Victorian names with the period of British baby names that came next: the Edwardians.
What marks the Edwardian era of British baby names as distinct from those used in the Victorian period is the sheer number of different names used. In previous centuries the standard practice was to select a child's name from the immediate family. When an infant died the next child to be born would be given that name, limiting the name pool to five to eight names in a family. Fanciful names were reserved for the aristocracy, and even they kept them permeating along the family line.
The Victorians made a change to this idea. Names borne by a deceased family member were now considered 'unlucky'. Parents suddenly had to look elsewhere for names and artistic, literary and religious movements provided much needed inspiration. The Victorian love of anything 'gothic', and the influence of Tennyson and the Pre-Raphaelites brought back medieval and mythical names like Lancelot, Ralph, Edgar, Alice, Elaine, Edith and Mabel; the Romantic movement re-introduced names such as Wilfred, Quentin, Cedric, Amy and Rowena; and the religious Tractarian movement revived long lost Saint's names like Augustine, Benedict, Ignatius, Euphemia and Genevieve.
By the Edwardian era many of these previously obsolete names had become de rigueur and permeated all the social classes. More than at any time before, the gap between the names of the upper classes and those of the lower was considerably contracted. The 1911 census shows that many wealthy household members shared the same names as their domestic servants. For example, Constantia Beatrice Sophia, born 1905, was the daughter of a furniture mover and Lancelot Frederick Charles, born 1907, was a nurseryman's son, showing that these previously 'upper class' names were now being enjoyed throughout the social classes.
One of the biggest trends of the Edwardian era of British baby names was the use of nature names. Some of the most popular names such as, Daisy, Iris, Ivy, Primrose, Beryl, Pearl and Ruby were used sparingly in the first half of the nineteenth century – and, interestingly, equally spread amongst boys and girls. By the 1880s, these names started to became very fashionable (now solely for girls) which led to them becoming the darlings of the Edwardian age.

Steve21 (7th July 2012)
It's out. I notice they now have 2 notices, one with links and one without. I guess the second one is for us
Better go start the download in case something is different.
*** SIMS 2012 Summer AMPARK Update - Now Available
Dear Colleagues,
Further to my news item on Monday (resource id: 19735) we have made available a revised SIMS Summer release called SIMS 2012 Summer AMPARK Update to resolve the issue with the optional SIMS Primary Tracking Resources.
This version contains the correct Primary Tracking templates from Autumn 2011.
Customers not yet on the Summer release should take this new revision - we have withdrawn the old version from SOLUS to ensure this and your support team should authorise the new version to you for you to download and apply.
We would strongly recommend that customers intending to use the SIMS Primary Tracking resources who have already upgraded to the original SIMS 2012 Summer release should upgrade to this latest release and re-import from AMPARK to resolve the issue. If you are already on the original SIMS 2012 Summer release but do not intend on using the SIMS Primary Tracking resources then there is no need to upgrade to this new release.
Further information on this can be found under KB: 119316
SOLUS2 Users
It will be made available by your support team on SOLUS2 as the SIMS 2012 Summer AMPARK Update release.
SOLUS3 Users
It will be made available by your support team on SOLUS3 as SIMS 2012 Summer AMPARK update
Once again, I apologise for any inconvenience that this issue will cause. Please feel free to email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you want to discuss this further.

been pulled again as isnt listed in SIMS Upgrades & Downloads??
LA might not of authorised it yet.
Has SLG been pulled today ?
We've stopped issuing it to fix the Profile co-ordinator's ability to review other people's comments. If you've already upgraded we'll send instructions. The upgrade to the hosted system has been postponed for a few days until we fix it. Full details on SupportNet.
Just gone live with v2 fingers crossed now nothing else goes wrong. My PC took 10 mins to update, but the next one only 3 mins.
No one here to test though...
I was just trying out the new feature of quickletter edits. You need a patch to apply it, because somehow it's linked to removing the ability to add external shortcuts to the shortcuts bar. It's not something we use much, probably only i do, but it's harsh to lose it.
Anyhoo, on the test server, it just adds an extra link to let you edit the QuickLetter template. Firstly, it's only open to two user groups, which is a pain, as it would be nice for everyone to be able to edit it, from in-app as it were. It just makes the instructions easier than having to say, go to my documents , my sims documents, etc. or worse still, C: drive, users / documents etc..
There are no other extra features to it. You can achieve the same by going to the location of the template file and editing it. Since it's possible to add a default open file location, it would be nice to have it open to all users, so they can personalise their quickletters if required. Then the benefit of it being within SIMS is realised, plus you could point it to the my docs folder and they'd all have local copies so each person can have a different variant if required.
Not convinced of it's worth so if you don't have a test server to try it on, and you're not sure, i wouldn't bother.
It's aimed at hosted SIMS customers really. Personally, you can deploy a default school template via GPO, then have a copy in the staff shared area along with instructions about copying it to your my documents, or failing that script it to copy it to everyone's my documents.
Does this upgrade HAVE to be done before exam results day(s)?
As far as I'm aware no.
But it has to be done before the next census otherwise there's a load of errors.
Jawloms (24th July 2012)
Whoops. Got that wrong.
Yes you do.
Just can't get the staff these days ROFL!!
Stuart - did you get the email about the exams PI patch and the survive guide from Capita?

Additional Information
Times opens 200 years of archives to online users
LONDON - The Times is launching a free online archive of its newspapers spanning 200 years, which will reproduce stories exactly as they originally appeared in print.
The Times Archive, launching June 16 on Times Online, will be a fully digitised and searchable archive of every issue of The Times published between 1785 and 1985.
Copies of The Times from 1985 until 2000 and editions of The Sunday Times will be added as the programme develops.
The archive will encompass 20m articles, ads and photographs. All ads in the newspaper will be viewable, from property ads and situations vacant, to the benefits of drinking Horlicks during the Blitz.
Users can search, click and drag the newspaper pages on their screens and save, print and email articles.
The archive site also contains 150 topic pages covering subjects such as Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King, the Crimean War and Scott of the Antarctic.
The topic pages are enhanced by galleries of archive photographs and behind-the-scenes features and videos revealing how historic news events were brought to the pages of The Times.
Users can also browse letters to the Editor from figures such as Thomas Hardy, Karl Marx, Oscar Wilde, Queen Victoria, Charles Darwin, Mussolini and Ian Fleming.
Anne Spackman, editor-in-chief of Times Online, said: "Many newspapers have digitised their archives, but our ambition at the start of this project was to set a gold standard.
"That is why our digital archive shows every story as it appeared in the paper, giving it a context and a place in history.
"That is also why we have an Archive Editor within our editorial team to develop the community around our archive and link up relevant reports from history with the news of the day."
Searching the archive is free and all featured articles and topics within the archive will remain free to view.
Full access to the rest of the archive, via search results, will remain free for an introductory period. The Times said it would make a decision about whether to charge users a fee once the archive has generated a solid userbase.
An interactive guide to how to use the archive was created by I-D Media.

HSN's Joy Mangano Collaborates With Corelle(R) To Bring Style, Functionality And Durability To The Table With The New Corelle(R) For Joy Mangano Dinnerware Collection
About Corelle ®
More than 40 years ago, R&D scientists at Corning Glass Works developed a special hub lamination process that thermally bonds three layers of glass—a core center surrounded by top and bottom layers of "skin" or "glaze" glass. The glass was decorated using unique enamels that actually became a part of the glass, creating durable, scratch-resistant designs.
During its first decade, Corelle ® glass dinnerware was virtually sold out—even before it was made. Within 18 months after Corelle® dinnerware was first placed on sale, more than 40 million pieces had been sold – an unprecedented record. Today it is estimated that nearly half of all households have Corelle ® break- and chip-resistant dinnerware in their kitchens.

In my many years of experience in the development sector I have never come across an organization as good and unique as Youth Parliament. my long association with Youth Parliament I have seen them do excellent work, reaching out to the youth quite rapidly and making a difference, quite effectively. As an organization they have grown and evolved extremely well. Any professional organization would envy their learning curve. In fact, I have learnt from them probably more than they have learnt from me. The core organization values and principles have remained consistent. Their unwavering spirit and passion not only inspire the youth but equally all age groups who get attached with them. Well, what else can i say except they are awesome and they truely Rock!

Moderately saturated medium red. Compelling, exotic nose combines raspberry liqueur, blood orange, pink peppercorn, nutmeg and sandalwood. Juicy and penetrating, with superb freshness and lift. The red berry and spice flavors are complemented by an exotic suggestion of tropical fruits. Finishes juicy, minerally and very long, with the firm tannins coming very late. Very sexy wine. There was just a single 20-hectoliter Slavonian oval of this juice.
Bright, deep red. Raspberry, cherry and sandalwood on the nose; a bit less pungent than the Andre. Lush, fat and full, if less showy and sweet than the Andre. This may not yet be expressing itself, but the texture is pure silk. Finishes with firm, building tannins and a juicy quality.
Bright red-ruby. Sexy, penetrating, rather pinot-like aromas of cherry, raspberry, mace and nutmeg. Then sweet, broad and firmly built, with cool red fruit and mineral flavors nicely framed by firm acids. In the past, the Corino Giachini bottling has struck me as Musigny-like; in 2001, this example from Grasso offers some of the same Burgundian tang and minerality. Very youthful Barolo, finishing with substantial but fine tannins that call for five or six years of aging.
(from lower on the same hill as the Giachini) Bright red-ruby. More dark fruits than red on the nose, with musky notes of chicory and espresso. Sweet, broad and full, with thorough ripeness if a bit less lift than the Giachini. Less noble but very ripe, with powerful fruit and a liqueur-like sweetness on the back. Finishes with terrific breadth and major tannins. This, too, needs a good five or six years of patience.
Good deep red-ruby. Musky espresso, menthol and dried flowers on the nose; more classically Barolo and less Burgundian. At once broad and juicy, with concentrated dark berry and menthol flavors conveying intensity without any undue weight. Lovely rising finish features big, chewy tannins.
($68; Grasso's new name for his normale, aged in used barriques Medium red. Mellow, inviting aromas of redcurrant, marzipan, truffle and underbrush. Sweet, lush and ripe, with generous, broad strawberry and raspberry fruit flavors. This attractive wine offers good snap and verve, and finishes with very fine tannins.
($68; aged in once-used barriques Moderately saturated medium red. Complex, mellow nose combines cherry, minerals, mocha, earth, woodsmoke and plum pudding; reminded me of mature Burgundy Sweet but firm; distinctly more withdrawn and less lush than the Pi Vigne. Today the wine's aromatic complexity does not quite carry through on the palate. Finishes with slightly dusty tannins that are a bit less pliant than those of the Pi Vigne.
($68; aged in one-year-old barriques Medium red. Aroma of cherry syrup, underbrush and nutty oak; comes across as more evolved than the Giachini. Then lush and fat on the palate, but with only modest verve and clarity. Finishes with dusty, slightly drying tannins. Offers good texture but comes across as a bit dull.
($90; 100% new barriques Good medium red. Expressive aromas of strawberry, raspberry, minerals and smoky, spicy oak, with a note of iodine. Sweet, mellow and lush, with strawberry fruit complemented by spicy oak. A fine-grained midweight with good life in the mouth. Finishes with ripe tannins and excellent length.
($68; all new barriques Medium red. Strawberry, flowers, woodsmoke and nutty oak on the nose. Juicy but tight; distinctly tougher and more backward than the Ciabot Manzoni, and showing less texture today. Here the wine's wood tannins are more apparent on the tight finish.
($68; this is reportedly the Pi Vigne juice done in a new large oval) Moderately saturated medium red. Ethereal aromas of strawberry, dried rose and spices. Fine-grained, smooth and lively, with a fresh strawberry flavor and noteworthy inner-mouth energy and lift. (Marc de Grazia; numerous importers, including Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY; Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; and Estate Wines Ltd., San Rafael, CA)

WATCH: 10 Failed Aaron Spelling TV Shows
By Andrew Belonsky
9. MALIBU SHORES: There was some solid talent on this 1996 show — pre-Felicity Keri Russell, pre-Buffy Charisma Carpenter, and the terribly underrated Susan Ward — but the West Side Story-meets-90210 premise tanked with viewers.
10. TITANS: Spelling enlisted some serious soap stars — Jack Wagner, Victoria Principal, Yasmine Bleeth − to create a "Dynasty for the next generation" in 2000, but even the good-looking cast couldn't save this schlockfest sudster. But it wasn't all bad. As with other Spelling flops, this provided a platform for emerging stars, in this case Kevin Zegers and John Barrowman.

Isn't in compulsary in Israel for everyone to join the army - I think Smashnova did it when she was younger.

Yes, but I think it was voluntary for Smashnova because she's an immigrant. I could be wrong.
Oct 26th, 2005, 10:07 AM
Yes, but I think it was voluntary for Smashnova because she's an immigrant. I could be wrong.
it is not voluntary.in israel you must join the army.
smashnova did and her ranking went down.
i hope that the army will let peer do what she wants and need like many israeli pop stars and models..........
Oct 26th, 2005, 10:24 AM
In general woman spend 2 years in the army. Officialy this is the time that Shahar will be "soldier". However she will be now for 3 weeks in the first step. Her status is "Excellent sportswomen", so she will be able to train without problems and also to go out for tournaments outside Israel. The only thing is that she'll need go back to Israel after the tournaments. Anna Smashnova had many problems with the army but it was because it was 12 years ago and she wasn't famous as Shahar.
Oct 26th, 2005, 10:31 AM
Shahar looks fantastic in that photo. Nice to hear what she is up to.
Shonami Slam
Oct 26th, 2005, 10:51 AM
smashnova did her mandatory service, but as stated here already - at the time it wasn't so easy to get special privledges that nowadays are layed out very clearly for every sport and art (musicians have the same status - i'm talking about world-famous pianists, viloinists and so on - they just have to play in the army's official bands a few times a year (around 20 times).
Oct 26th, 2005, 10:51 AM

lee station
Oct 26th, 2005, 10:54 AM
That's cool
Oct 26th, 2005, 11:21 AM
poor Shahar :(
I dont know what to think about israeli army. it sure is backwards and inappropriate these days to get all people in the army
but the israeli army surely is a stabilising factor in the policy of Israel. it connects people of all ages, sozial origins which is definitely a plus

Installed this stuff in my front doors and enough for the speaker area in the rear doors. It only slightly reduced the road noise in my car, but tightened up the bass and reduce rattles by a huge degree. This stuff is easy to install and can often be bought on sale.

Only two seasons removed from winning a 5A state championship, Mesa High boys basketball coach Shawn Lynch has resigned.
Lynch coached eight seasons at Mesa High, beginning with the 1998-99 season. His tenure as Jackrabbits coach produced a 147-88 record and the 2004 state championship with a 28-3 record. Mesa, led by Lee Cummard that season, knocked off Desert Vista in the state championship game.
Lynch became a team leader at Mesa High this year and is looking to take his education career to administration, Mesa district athletic director Steve Hogen said.
Westwood High is looking for a new girls basketball coach.
Sally Christensen, who has guided the program the last seven years, submitted her resignation to athletic director Thad Gates on Tuesday.
Christensen, who has piled up more than 300 wins coaching in the prep ranks in Texas and at Westwood, will continue to teach physical education at Westwood and coach girls golf.
"Sally has done an excellent job for our program since she took over," Gates said. "It takes a lot of energy to run a program, and I think she felt she needed to step aside for someone else."
Christensen took over the program in the 1999-2000 season. The best years were the last three when the Warriors were 17-12 (2004), 16-14 (2005) and 18-13 (2006). The Warriors advanced to the state tournament in 2004 and 2005.

Everyone needs a laugh at this time of the year. December may be a month filled with overeating, familial disputes, financial woes about not being able to afford the biggest and brightest goodies and gadgets for the loved ones, and the back breaking task of snow removal. December is ripe for stimulating the funny bone, and who better to bring humor to the situation than Baldwinsville's own Dan Frigolette.
A 2001 Graduate of Baldwinsville's C.W. Baker High, Frigolette went on to Syracuse University to study at Newhouse's Communications School graduating in 2005 with a dual degree in advertising and communication rhetorical studies, with a minor in fine arts.
"Four years of college at an impressive university and now I tell fart jokes for a living," Frigolette wryly said about his career path. Don't let him fool you though; his education comes in handy when putting together comedy shows in New York and this month's performance in Syracuse.
Starting out at Viva Debris in the basement of the Hotel Syracuse, under the guidance of Joe DeLion, Frigolette took his first steps in comedy and decided running was inevitable. Although he credits Debris as his starting point, one might remember Frigolette earning the "Mr. Baldwinsville" crown in 2001 in a mock Mr. America Pageant before his Baldwinsville Baker High School peers. Frigolette also spent two years on Baldwinsville's own WBXL, and five on Syracuse University's Z89.
Post graduating from Syracuse, Frigolette immediately moved to New York, jobless and homeless but with solid goals in mind. Within a year he was working with the self-dubbed "Queen of Mean" Lisa Lampanelli, opening for her on road gigs and helping her fill rooms in Manhattan. Not long after, he began producing his own comedy shows, hosting and bringing in big name talent all over Manhattan.

When you take supplements, much of the time you can't tell that anything has changed, but with this product you can! An acupuncturist told me that taking something to help my digestive track would also help my acne. She recommended live Acidophilus and Bifidus with a minimum 8 billion count. That is when I found this product and it really works! Also, it easy to order and comes within a day or two of ordering in a Styrofoam box with an icepack so the product is still chilled when it arrives on my doorstep!

Now Foods, 8 Billion Acidophilus & Bifidus

Purchased at iHerb
These pro-biotics are pretty darn good and are obviously a great bargain price-wise. I store mine in the refrigerator and even a year later they still pass the active test (turning milk into a yogurt consistancy) When taken every day they will also help to keep you regular and reduce bloating. They will help during a cleanse to help keep things moving, too. My husband takes one every day and has for years along with Now Super Enzymes and Swiss Kriss. I personally only take one Now Foods 8 Billion Acidophilus & Bifidus every 3 or 4 days because I swear they are SO strong and do such a great job cleansing me that they tend to make my face break out a bit if I take them every day for any length of time. So, again, for me, they are strong and I only take one every 3 or 4 days.

Outside the cafeteria at Kathryn Winn Primary School, a couple of first grade students gather around a poster of a pointed wizard's cap hanging on the wall. The large cut-out cap has about 15 small cardboard wizard caps stuck to it with Velcro, each with a different student's first name written on it. Thirty-one wizard caps line both sides of the hall, each one representing a higher level of mathematical wizardry.

Lexington Herald-Leader
More than 500,000 Kentucky public school students will take the state's new K-Prep test for the first time this spring, and educators are concerned that the results could leave many families confused and concerned.
The new test was mandated under Senate Bill 1, the 2009 reform package that the General Assembly passed to strengthen Kentucky's public education system.
It's not too early to begin preparing for the fall semester. If applying for financial aid, the priority deadline for college financial aid is fast approaching and students needing aid for the fall 2012 or spring 2013 semesters should begin the application process now.
Jefferson Community and Technical College will hold free workshops to help.

Cake and punch is a great way to start a new year and the Carroll County Board of Education did just that. January is the month for honoring boards of education and Superintendent Lisa James honored the board with cake, punch and certificates.
The board also began the new year with a new leader. Mona Kindoll was elected as the new board chairman at the Jan. 5 meeting.

The University of Northwestern Ohio is proud to acknowledge that John D. Tilley of Carrollton has made the Dean's List for the November 2011 session in the College of Applied Technologies. Full-time students must receive a grade point average of 3.5 or better to be named to the Dean's List.
University of North-western Ohio has named Cameron S. McClellen of Carrollton to their dean's list for the October 2011 session in the College of Applied Technologies. Full-time students must receive a grade point average of 3.5 or better to be named to the list.
Kentucky's ranking in an annual grading of all states on key education indicators rose dramatically this year, placing the state 14th in the nation for its work on academic standards, the teaching profession and many other variables related to public education.
Each year, Education Week (a national publication that focuses on P-12 education) produces a special issue, "Quality Counts." The report tracks key education indicators and grades states on their policy efforts and outcomes. Last year, Kentucky ranked 34th in the nation in this annual report.

how good is pertex
Anybody got stories or examples of what it would take to drive water through a pertex bivy? I'm trying to get a better understanding of how good bivy fabrics are. Thanks.

Anybody know of other shelters that are similar to the SMD Wild Oasis in that it's floorless and has a mesh skirt? Thanks.

The Internet has ruined high-school writing. Write the line on the board five hundred times like Bart Simpson. Remember and internalize it. Intone it in an Andy Rooney-esque grumble.
I've heard the line repeated by dozens of educators and laypeople. I've even said it myself.
Thankfully it is untrue.
As a high-school English teacher, I read well over a thousand student essays a year. I can report that complete sentences are an increasingly endangered species. I wearily review the point of paragraphs every semester. This year I tried and failed to spark a senior class protest against "blobs"—my pejorative term for essays lacking paragraphs. When I see a winky face in the body of a personal essay—and believe me, it has happened enough to warrant a routine response—I use a red pen to draw next to it a larger face with narrow, angry eyes and gaping jaws poised to chomp the offending emoticon to pieces Pac-Man-style. My students analyze good writing and discuss the effect of word choice and elegant syntax on an audience's reading experience. The uphill battle is worth fighting, but I'm always aware that something more foreboding than chronic senioritis lines up in opposition.
However, while Facebook and Twitter have eroded writing conventions among my students, they have not killed the most important ingredients in personal writing: self-reflection and emotional honesty. For younger high school boys particularly, social networking has actually improved writing – not the product or the process, but the sensitivity and inward focus required to even begin to produce a draft that will eventually be worth editing.
High school is cruel to all genders, an equal-opportunity destroyer of spirit and self-esteem. I'm focusing on boys because I've seen the phenomenon play out more intensely with them. Also, I was a boy once, and so I understand them better than I understand girls.
When I was beginning high school in 1994 boys knew not to reveal weakness and insecurity. Girls didn't seem to like guys who vocalized vulnerability. Athletes usually projected stereotypically masculine traits: along with imposing physical size, aggressive, even belligerent confidence, an easy stance, gait, and casual presence, the signs of being comfortable in their own skins. Even the scrawniest punk guitarists wore hoodies like armor and possessed a prickly toughness seasoned by the experience of having been bullied in middle school. The climate demanded stoicism, cool detachment as the default attitude for boys trying not to lose social standing. Young male attitudes were, as they still are, shaped by music and other forms of pop culture. Mainstream mid-90s rappers had cold-blooded personas. Even Kurt Cobain mumbled through interviews, only opening up in cathartic song, where the rawest admissions could be obtuse and readily cloaked in distortion. Everyone agonized over problems—height, acne, academic ability, body size, a lack of attention from girls, parents splitting up, sick grandparents, needy siblings, general alienation—but no one wanted to talk about them much. At age 14, I was small, smart, and artistic. I wrote well, but the prospect of writing anything that would permit even a teacher to know what I really thought terrified me. Spilling my guts in a writers' workshop with my classmates would have been social suicide.
I have a Facebook page dedicated solely to my position as an educator. I don't send friend requests to students but current and former students can send them to me and I always accept. I don't post much, but I keep up with some students and share literature-related links when I delude myself into thinking they'll be of interest. Current students often send me requests without thinking of the possible consequences of being Facebook friends with a teacher. I have made it a policy to avoid bringing a student's posts into a conference with a parent or counselor unless required to do so by law. A few times a week though, I log on and observe what students post.
My observations have reaffirmed the widely held notion that the Internet is no refuge from the pains of adolescence. It's a really bad neighborhood. On Facebook and Twitter, students humiliate, jeer, and shame one another. They engage in antisocial, even criminal behavior—leaving belligerently racist comments on links, harassing classmates with derogatory posts.
At the same time, the emotional distance fostered by Facebook and other sites can encourage a healthier candor, too. On Facebook, even popular students post statuses in which they express insecurities. I see a dozen every time I log on. A kid frets that his longtime girlfriend is straying and wishes he hadn't upset her. Another admits to being lonely (with weepy emoticons added for effect). Another asks friends to pray for his sick little sister. Another worries the girl he gave his number to isn't interested because she hasn't called in the 17 minutes that have passed since the fateful transaction. Another disparages his own intellect. "I'm so stupid, dad told me to drop out," he writes. Another wonders why his parents are always angry, and why their anger is so often directed at him. "Brother coming home today," another posts. "Gonna see how it goes."

Re: Mexico For Refit?
Get the parts first. If it's not made in Mexico or China, it's expensive here.
Bottom job, fiberglass work, and bimini upholstery will probably be cheaper here, but again, bring the stuff that you need. Trinidad SR bottom paint is very close to $500.00 a gallon, for instance. After you pay shipping and duty from the US, you end up at very close to $500.00 a gallon again.
The carpentry work will certainly be cheaper, especially if you can hire a guy to use your tools.
If you hire somebody, make sure that it's contract work and not employment. The labor laws are different here. If he's an hourly employee, he can sue you for severance pay when he's done and he will win. The law is clear. The worker is well protected. They'll keep your boat until you pay, it happened to a friend of mine.
If you read the history of Mexico you'll understand. This whole country was once a company town.
