It's been awhile since I posted but that doesn't mean I haven't been working towards my goals. I've been doing my first round of P90X since June 17th. I am just finishing up Week 10 of 13 weeks!
But this week was especially hard. Long work hours, a few poorer food choices (drinking twice this week, generous second helpings a couple times) and lack of sleep/not enough water has resulted in a 3 pound fluctuation. And I realize I'm a bit devastated. Since my weigh-in yesterday, these thoughts have been running through my mind: I should just throw in the towel. I need to reassess the whole exercise program. I should just go binge on fast food. I need to just take a three week break. So, really, these three pounds weighs so heavily on me.
But why? When I really think about it and examine all the other measurements I've been taking since spring, I realize I have so many other numbers to track:
- I have lost 12 pounds since May 1st (6% of my body weight)
- I have lost almost 3" off waist, hips, thighs, arms, calf
- I have reduced my BMI by 1.8 (from 28.9, pretty close to obese to 27.1, well in midrange of overweight)
- I can fit in my high school choir dress (yup, still own it!)
- I have also been tracking my increase in weights and reps, including my ability to do assisted pull ups and push ups.
I have really been changing my body in the past few months. And, I have so many numbers to go by. While the scale is important, it's not the only thing to measure your success or goals by!
I know my fitness journey has only just begun. I have a lot more finish lines I want to cross, but just a friendly reminder to myself: Don't let one number get you down! Keep other ones in mind as well.
Yours in fitness~
Hello world! I'm back, after a long hiatus. The last time I checked into Spark People and blogged was more than *gasp* a full year ago!!
I feel pretty bad about that, but instead of wallowing in that guilt, let me just take a moment to review: I was weighing in on 7/22/11 at 175.2. Today (10/9/12), I weighed in at 186.8. That means I've gained 10# over the past year, with a few dips both below 175 and above 186.
So, what happened? Well, besides the normal challenges of making healthy eating choices on a daily basis and finding the time in one's busy schedule to exercise, I've had a couple major stressors since fall of last year: divorce, job change, moving four times (!), one major health scare, an operation, and two accidents (neither of them my fault).
I'm not listing these as an excuse, but rather to clear the air. I mean, we all have stuff that happens to us. I know that your list is just as "interesting" as mine. Life has it's challenges. Life has it's hurdles. Sometimes, it's just good to just put it out there so you can see what you're dealing with. So, this is what I have to deal with: I just turned 30, I'm a soon-to-be divorcee, I still have no idea what I want to be when I grow up, and I'm trying to loose the same 20 pounds that I've been trying to lose since 2010.
So what I am doing back on Spark People? Well, Spark People is more than just about losing weight. I mean, weight is important. It means health, comfortability, longevity. But, as someone who has been struggling with their weight for their entire life, I know that losing the weight is just a means to a much more important end, that end being figuring out what my life is going to look like, figuring out what my new priorities are, figuring out who I want to be.
I want to be someone who is confident. I want to be someone who has the energy to tackle each and every day for the gift that it is. I want to be someone who can give back as much as I'e been given. I want to be someone who can experience all the joys and adventures life has to offer.
So, my goal? Sure, it's to lose 30#. But, I know that it's the decisions that I make every day that will make me stronger. I hope you can follow me on my journey, and I'd love to hear about yours.
Talk about a huge hurdle. I don't think I have my scale dip below 170 since high school, and I won't say how many years that has been!
Although I want to give my body "room" and not be too hard on myself considering I am generally staying with my calorie range and exercising like crazy, I do want to have some very measurable goals. To be honest, my vigorous exercise regime this summer is 1) because I actually have the time and 2) I really want to see some real changes in my body and more specifically in my weight. This is not an exercise just in becoming more healthy. Right now, I want to reach that golden BMI of "healthy" versus overweight. And I have long way to get there.
I'm going to estimate what my weight loss should be so that I can use this as a marker as my 12-week challenge continues (I'm about halfway done!) and then I work on losing into the beginning of the school year.
175.2 - SW on 7/22
174.0 by 7/29 (Week 6)
172.5 by 8/5 (Week 7)
171.0 by 8/12 (Week 8)
169.5 by 8/19 *huge barrier!* (Week 9)
This is far enough! I'll be checking in using this as a measurement in my future blog posts
Again, it has been two weeks since my official blog check in. But in reviewing what has happened I am pretty pleased with my progress towards my healthy life style and my fitness goals.
Goal #1: Eat Better
I am making more conscious choices for sure! I still need to be more adventurous with trying out new SP recipes, and I definitely see a difference in the way I eat if I track my calories for the day versus when I don't.
-->Specific Touchstone: Track calories for the rest of week 6 until the halfway mark!
-->Try at least one new recipe (the banana bread is in the works tonight)!
Goal #2: Build Muscle
Even though I haven't been lifting weights, I definitely see muscle tone in my arms especially and in my thighs. I can't wait to begin a more strict weight lifting regime.
--> Specific Touchstone: Begin lifting at least 2x per week to start out into week 6 and beyond. This will work well with adjusted work schedule coming up (replace Zumba).
Goal #3: Run
I haven't done this OR looked into it. I need to find a race for reals! That will definitely be the incentive for me. I'm going to do a 5K and try and beat my PR from last year (April).
--> Specific Touchstone: Find a race and sign up already! Preferably, train for a race no earlier than SEPTEMBER. Then perhaps do another one in NOVEMBER.
Goal #4: Move
I have to admit, I am doing this the best of all my goals so far. I am working out doing cardio at least once a day and sometimes twice a day. I am doing Zumba and Kickboxing and also playing competitive outdoor volleyball. I need to keep this up for sure, even though some of my gym time may need to be sacrificed soon because of a change in work schedule. I can still do Kickboxing and Weight-lifting though, so it all works out!
--> Specific Touchstone: Continue the great work!
Goal #5: Lose It
Well, I have been losing pretty steadily! Since the beginning of this challenge, which began on Monday, June 20th (my first weigh-in was Friday, June 24th), I have lost 4 pounds -- from 179.4 to 175.2. This is a bit less than my hope (which was about a pound a week), but this is still better than nothing!
The frustrating thing is that I often see pretty big increases in weight during the week. I don't know if this is from not enough water, too many chips the previous day, or TOTM, but it has happened the past three weeks where I see significant changes on a Friday weigh-in, but over the weekend or by Wednesday I'm about 3 pounds more (nearing the 180 that I had started out at at the beginning of this challenge). Luckily, none of these weight gains have lasted over an official weigh-in day, though I am afraid that this week they will. I don't want to dread the scale but I hate when the scale doesn't match the effort I've put into things!
--> Specific Touchstone: I would like to see a weight loss on Week 6 (from 175 to 174 at least). If not, since it is that TOTM, then I'll want to eat carefully this weekend and make up for it on the other side during the Week 7 weigh-in.
Next check-in during week 7 to review week 6
Tips and Reminders:
1. Write down my exercise schedule every week (volleyball, 1-2x; cardio-kickboxing or zumba, 3-5x; weight lifting, 2x; running 2-3x)
2. When planning meals, keep my calorie count in mind! (Stick to yummy SP recipes for now, especially as I'm experimenting more and more with cooking.)
So it's been almost two weeks since my last check-in. Overall, I have been trending towards a pretty steady exercise regime (though not as intense as I should be doing) and my calories are kept in check. I can crack down on both for sure, which is what I want to work on in the next week.
But first, a review of the goals I set two weeks ago
Goal #1: Eat Better
[ ] Try one new SP recipe. -- I have yet to do this!
[ ] Track every day this week starting Tues, 6/21. -- I definitely track more consistently and when I do track, I am staying within my calorie range! There definitely have been a few days where I went *way* over my 1,500 cal limit, but this hasn't seemed to effect things -- yet!
Goal #2: Build Muscle
[ ] Weight train at gym or home (using Shred DVD) on Wednesday and Friday. -- I haven't lifted weights at the gym yet but I have supplemented my work outs with the Shred DVD at least once.
Goal #3: Run
[ ] Run at the gym on Wednesday and Friday, easing back into the C25K program. -- I have yet to do this!
[ ] Research a 5K race to sign up for in about 6 weeks. Seriously folks! -- Or this!
Goal #4: Move
[ ] Zumba - Tues and Thurs; Vball - Tues night; Turbo Kick maybe one more time this week (either Wed or Thurs) -- I did this! I began Turbo Kick 3x a week in the mornings. What a workout! This I love!
Goal #5: Lose It
[ ] Next weigh in will be Fri, 6/24, before I head out to a what will most likely be a very indulgent weekend. I need to be on my guard! -- I weighed in and did fine this week! I lost about 4 pounds to kick off the intense summer here. I've been keeping up my weight loss too!
[ ] I need to take measurements and "before" photos this week as well. -- I need to do this to have an accurate count of things!
Overall Stats:
-Blasted about 4 pounds! (At 176.5# this morning, down from over 180# at the beginning of June 20)
-Seeing consistent results because of Turbo Kick, 3x/week
-Using calorie tracker to occasionally check in, staying within 1,500 {could do better on this!}
I'll post goals for this week next...

"One book to read in different times of life"
As any good book on self knowledge, this one has short passages of tremendous depth. Repetition is essential to capture these core concepts due to a important fact described by the book: rarely we can listen without any kind of internal noise or mental process. In my case I listen one chapter several times and always find "new" passages.
There are quite a few. One interest thing is to discover that you have not really listened to it and everytime you revisit a chapter there are parts that seem brand new.
It's about the media, the channel. Eckhart's voice and tone leads to a more concentrated listening. Some sentences are subtlely emphasized and the understanding varies with that.
We are always attracted to mental projections and live most of our time in toxic states. An educated mind opens way to the now.
I love learning thru books, about life, people and ways to be better. My best listen so far? The Power of Now, have a good listen!
"good but a bit of a repetition"
I love Eckhart Tolle's books, but having read the Power of now and A New Earth I found some of this things wore pure repetition of earlier books, but still his words and the way he says them bring me a big sense of calmness and peace
Alan Zulch
"Cogent book goes right to the essence of our task"
Tolle's insights are crisply articulated in this book. It is full of valuable practices to suit many different situations, moods, etc.
Tolle is the clearest and most accessible person speaking about - and perhaps ever to speak about - the importance of presence, for individuals but also the world.
I wept a few times, as I was completely taken by the profundity of what he is sharing.
"Practicing the Power of Now"
Redundant. Better to read the Power of Now and skip this one
"Belief In Any Power"
An awareness that a power greater than ourselves is bring up the sun in the morning and the moon at night. Showing this power who ever you believe in our daily lives. How to draw this power in our lives more often and live happier life.
"Helpful in understanding "Now""
There is a lot....I am still "chewing" on.
As a Born Again Christian seeking to fully understand what "NOW Faith" is....this was VERY helpful in many ways. Some of the words were not for me, however, I am able to listen without judgment and for that I have been blessed. I purchased another book by Mr. Tolle and look forward to listening to it soon.
Like to read mostly nonfiction. I enjoy listening to spiritual books when driving or walking.
"Life Changing teachings in an easy calm style"
Miraculous, Powerful, Easy
The teachings are done in a calm manner, it does not ask for perfection or rigidity. Some spiritual books tend to get me stressed, Eckhart Tolle has been there and he teaches in such a non-threatening manner, where mistakes are gifts for you to learn from and as long as you are trying, you will be changed. I woke one day and I saw where my life was headed, what I had become, the underlying deceit that was threatening my world. After reading and practicing these teachings I have grown and am becoming so much more!
Eckharts voice is serene and firm. He is easy on you, and he makes you laugh at yourself
Tired of the pain yet? If so you need to see this movie!
So different from other spiritual books
I live in Florida, I'm Cerified Hypnotherapist, Recover Coach & Trainer, NLP, Theta Healing and Energy Healing. I'm all so a Process Server in Palm Beach County.
"Everyone should live in the now"
I truly believe that if more people living in the moment now the world would be a better place! The power of now is an amazing book I recommend it to everyone.
"Great compilation of Tolle work read aloud"
If one finds the philosophy of living in the now, eliminating the ego, negativity and suffering from one's life, this audio book is a wonderful introduction to how and why.
Not a story. Self help spiritual philosophy and guidance.
I use all of the information and wisdom of the Power of Now daily. A work in progress; me.
Love Tolle's work, wise and applicable regardless of spiritual or religious orientation.
It is a practicle guide that is easy to practice and understand.
I have dyslexia so being able to listen to the book is extremely helpful.
There are so many ahha moments - the book made me question my own thoughts and habits.
Easy to understand and easy to listen to

Arizona Cardinals
Dan Williams says Ray Horton's scheme is reason for success
The Arizona Cardinals are coming off their eighth straight loss this this week, but it's not for lack of good defense. Defensive coordinator Ray Horton has consistently put this team in a position to succeed by having his defense ready to play each week.
"I just think that he has us very prepared, the way he breaks down film, he breaks down teams and tells us their tendencies," defensive tackle Dan Williams said of Horton. "It makes your job a little easier to have a coach that really breaks down film well."
The Cardinals limited the Jets to just seven points and 289 yards of offense, and forced four turnovers on the day.
Williams tallied a team-leading 10 tackles against New York, including six solo stops.
"Coach Horton had a great game plan coming into the game; I think for the most part we did do a good job executing the game plan," Williams said. "The Jets made a few good plays but for the most part we stuck with Coach Horton's game plan and it worked out good for us. We just didn't get the W."
Even dating back to the end of last season Horton's name has appeared in rumors and conversations regarding head coaching positions. His game planning and scheme on the defensive side of the ball have made him an attractive target.
"If you look at it, you pretty much know what the other team is going to do and he just does a great job," said Williams. "The whole defensive staff, they do a great job of preparing us each week."
The Cardinals rank seventh in total team defense and third in passing defense, with the only real negative being the run defense, which ranks 24th in the NFL allowing nearly 129 yards rushing per game.

Remove the armrest and the driver door handle trim. Remove the drivers door panel. The lock barrel is held in by a two pronged clip that you can remove with a long screwdriver. The door handle is held in by 2 10MM bolts. Get good light inside the door and everything is much easier to do.

Like a luxurious facial, Trilane® Gentle Cleanse naturally cleanses and exfoliates to perfectly prepare your skin for treatment and moisturizing
- Soap-free natural cleanser gently buffs away old skin
- Preserves your skin's natural oils so your face feels fresh, not tight or dry
- Soothes skin with all-natural ingredients
- And so much more…
Inside Trilane Gentle Cleanse are thousands of tiny purple beads, made from all-natural jojoba that gently buff away old skin cells.
Unlike synthetic exfoliators—or the ones made with harsh abrasives such as walnut shells—the exfoliating beads in Trilane Gentle Cleanse naturally dissolve as they are massaged onto your skin. So there's absolutely no danger of over-exfoliating and damaging your skin—it's safe for daily use.
Plus, Trilane Gentle Cleanse contains pure olive squalane. So as old skin cells wash away, the new skin is instantly hydrated and protected. At the same time, the light lavender-scented gel-based cleanser nourishes and soothes your skin with all-natural ingredients such as aloe vera, cone flower, and chamomile. Not only will your skin look instantly radiant—it will be incredibly soft to the touch.

Issue Brief #15 available
The issue of equal economic opportunities for members of national and ethnic minorities in Europe is important not only for economic prosperity, but also for the future peace and security of the European continent. Unequal access to employment, education, health and housing has, over the past fifty years, undermined political and economic stability in regions as diverse as the Balkans, Northern Ireland, South Tyrol and Cyprus. However, while European academics, think tanks and policy-makers have focused on social and economic exclusion on the one hand, and minority rights on the other, few attempts have been made to link the two.

This is a game that I could have gotten behind with that old, rustic feel of the bygone glory days of the 16 bit SNES/Genesis RPG's, it has all of the elements there to be right in the discussion but seems to have missed one part of the equation, fun.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
MTS becomes takeover target
Allstream sale makes firm more appealing for bigger telco
Manitoba Telecom Services has sold its Allstream national network -- a constant drag on the company's performance -- but the Winnipeg telco now faces the heightened prospects of being a takeover target itself.
MTS has agreed to sell its Allstream business telecommunications arm to Accelero Capital Holdings, a Cairo-based investment group focused on telecommunications, digital media and technology companies.
MTS will use about half of the $405 million in proceeds to reduce its pension obligations and debt. The deal is expected to close in the second half of this year, subject to regulatory approval.
Considering that it paid $1.7 billion for the massive national fibre network that cost its former owners about $4 billion to build, the nine-year experiment to provide a vehicle for growth outside the confines of Manitoba's borders for MTS was far from a blockbuster success.
And now the provincial telco -- a dominant competitor on its home turf -- is back to facing the prospects of operating as a regional independent in a market dominated by large national players.
"MTS goes forward as a pure-play telecom with a strong consumer franchise and significant free cash flow to support our dividend," chief executive Pierre Blouin said Friday.
But Blouin sounded less than elated when outlining the deal, which was the culmination of an eight-month strategic review, to investors and media on Friday. That process was kick-started by the change in federal rules regarding foreign-ownership restrictions of certain types of telecommunications companies.
-- Iain Grant, a principal at The Seaboard Group
Those changes do not apply to MTS's Manitoba operations, so if it were in play, only Canadian-owned companies would be eligible to buy it.
Blouin said there were no plans to put MTS on the market but, he said, "We are a public company and if someone has something to submit, we have a duty to look at it with our board. But we are not in that process about MTS. The focus is on Allstream closing."
But those prospects immediately became a topic of conversation among analysts and others.
In his report to shareholders, Greg MacDonald, head of research at Macquarie Capital Markets, wrote, "We believe the stock (MTS) could get a little more support from the potential for a takeout of the stub or competing bid for the entire company by Telus or BCE."
Dvai Ghose of Canaccord Genuity said, "Many of us on the street think you (Blouin) may want to sell the asset now."
Drew McReynolds, of RBC Capital Markets, said, "Without Allstream, we believe MTS could become a takeout target for either Bell or Telus over the longer term."
MTS shares closed up $1.83 on Friday to $33.93.
Blouin said the focus is to make MTS stronger in Manitoba.
Out of the $405-million selling price, the company said it will make about $170 million in pension solvency payments and pay off another recent $70-million short-term loan to pay for a previous pension payment, leaving $165 million in net cash proceeds.
Bob Linsdell, executive director of the 1,200-member MTS local of the Telecommunications Employees Association of Manitoba, said he hopes since the company "just received a large bag of money," it might have a positive effect on contract negotiations with the white-collar workers.
According to Linsdell, the current scenario is grim: "The company has claimed it needs belt-tightening and our members have just come off two years of zero per cent increases and facing a wage freeze for three years," Linsdell said.
In addition, he said, "The company has threatened to terminate our collective agreement on July 17, at which time they may impose unilateral changes to the terms and working conditions of our members."
Blouin said the deal will not affect the dynamics of the negotiations.
Company officials would not disclose plans for the utilization of the rest of the proceeds, other than to say it will allow the company to strengthen its balance sheet and ensure sustainable free cash flow to support the MTS stock dividend.
Blouin said it will allow MTS to expand its LTE footprint -- the latest wireless technology infrastructure -- and to take part in an upcoming federal government wireless-spectrum auction.
But Blouin's insistence the company will be able to grow its business in Manitoba now that it has shed an asset that had been a drag on its overall financial performance may not mean much. That's because MTS already has a strong market share in most of its lines of business -- wireless, Internet, home phone, TV and home security.
Bell, Telus and Rogers aren't able to bundle such a range of services in Manitoba.
Blouin said there are no plans to venture outside Manitoba or to expand into any new service offerings within the province. Iain Grant, a principal at The Seaboard Group, a consulting practice, said, "You have a right to be skeptical because he already has all that business. He can upgrade the infrastructure but he's still selling to the same people, just from a different platform."
Grant said it's too bad to see the end of the company's experiment to own a national business telecommunications network.
"It's a little sad," he said, "For a decade, MTS had ambition to be a national player."

How to measure protein grams?
Hi Everyone,
I just read through many of stickies here and was feeling confused about the protein ratios. I saw that it might only be 75 grams a day for me, and it sounded very very low! (and un-doable for me without great effort)
But then I started thinking that maybe it's not the grams in 'weight' of the protein, but how much is digested.. Is that true?
So for example, a 8 oz steak (which weighs 250 grams) would be counted as 38.8 grams of usable protein (according to a nutrition table).
Please set me straight! :)
Doh! After no response here, I asked some friends and realized that of course, it's the amount in the nutrition table.
That's actually a lot of protein - I mean not too much, but perfectly adequate to one's eyes as well as stomach. :)
Ha, I just got here and you figured it out just as I was about to type that.
Was that steak your dinner? :yummy:
Hi Metqa,
Unfortunately the steak was just a random protein I plugged into the nutrition counter.. but now that you mention it, that would make a nice Friday night dinner.. :)
Very rough figure
4oz of meat/fish/etc = 20g protein
Correct me if I'm wrong, thank you :)

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Substantial Losses Investing In Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. To Contact The Firm
NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. ("Chipotle" or the "Company") (NYSE: CMG).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120119/MM38856LOGO )
The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that: (1) Chipotle lacked the ability to implement price increases sufficient to offset rising food costs and, as a result, the Company's profit margins would diminish as Chipotle would be unable to pass increased commodity costs off to consumers; (2) demand for Chipotle was slowing down due to negative economic conditions combined with increased competition, and would fail to support the Company's aggressive 2012 earnings forecasts; and (3) Chipotle was experiencing a deceleration of growth as it was becoming a mature company.
On July 19, 2012, Chipotle issued a press release announcing the Company's second quarter 2012 financial results. The Company also disclosed disappointing revenue figures and issued cautious guidance for the rest of the year. As a result of this news, Chipotle's share price plunged by $86.88 per share to close at $316.98 per share on July 20, 2012, a decline of 22% on volume of 9.8 million shares. This was the largest one-day stock decline in the Company's history.Request more information now by clicking here: www.faruqilaw.com/CMG. There is no cost or obligation to you.

I've read other reviews for guidance and knew not to put raw garlic on topically without mixing it to dilute its strength. I tried crushing raw cloves of garlic and letting it sit in water before applying on my face, but the problem I had was keeping it there. It's a runny mess.
So, what I do now (and really like) is: I buy from the whole foods store an all natural bottle of aloe vera gel with vitamin E and use that as a base gel that holds my crushed garlic. The mixture stays on your face easily. It's great! It reduces the size and redness of cysts overnight.
I've tried benzoyl peroxide 2.5%, (following the Regimen to a "T") but it was too drying and too aging after 2 weeks. I am substituting the BP treatment with my aloe- garlic mixture instead. I feel its a safer, natural option.
I've been EATING raw garlic cloves about 5x a week for 2 weeks and haven't really noticed YET much improvement in the amount of new cysts appearing, but I will keep eating it. My favorite way to eat it raw is cook up some chicken and add crushed raw garlic into the dish once it's cooked. I need a heavy meal with the raw garlic because otherwise it sits in my stomach like a burning hot lava rock. (No way I could take it with just tomato juice as someone else here suggested).
I buy a container of peeled raw garlic and freeze it. Don't nuke it in the microwave because that kills garlic's benefits. Don't buy from China because they supposedly irradiate it. You can fairly easily crush a frozen clove in a garlic press. The coolness feels good once you apply it topically too!
Hope my tips help. Good luck everyone! I am glad I'm not alone out here!
The oil in garlic is a natural antibiotic and antiseptic, if you take it orally then it effects your whole body and kick starts your immune system with just about every vitamin, mineral and nutrient it needs; if you use it topically then it kills bacteria on the skin and that is effectively what it does with acne. It penetrates the pore which is blocked and kills off the bacteria inside which is causing the spot.
If you take it orally then a clove or two a day should suffice, either use it in your cooking or crush it into a mug of boiling water and down it quickly.
If you use it externally then use a quarter of a clove and dilute it on a mug of warm water before applying it to the face, do -NOT- apply it straight on or you -WILL- have a nice painful red chemical burn for your efforts.
It's not a miracle cure all, you aren't going to use it overnight and wake up with clear skin but it should work gradually to reduce the outbreaks.
I started taking garlic because everything I read about it was very good. I started to feel like I was coming down with a really bad head cold and my dad said to eat garlic,so I put a clove in the press and mixed it with V8. I did this 2 times per day for 2 days and my acne went away and my cold never got bad and completely went away also. I did read online tho that garlic from China has almost no health benifits because it is irradiated to kill off idk what.. Spice world brand is a good one.. so Ive been doing this every day now for 2 weeks and washing with Selsun blue mixed with apricot face scrub, then use sensative skin burts bees moisturizer... Try it!
I am absolutely shocked at how effective eating garlic cloves has been for me. I've been a sufferer of cystic and moderate acne for about 10 years and have tried everything literally. I actually stumbled onto garlic without initially intending to use it as a treatment, and the results have been jaw dropping. I highly recommend everyone try it. It may not work for everyone but it certainly has for me.
Cheap effective way to spot treat, not a preventive measure as no one thing, especially external is a preventive measure. Acne is not a disease but a symptom of a disease that requires lifestyle changes...for real..
Procedure: chop 1 clove of garlic, put in bowl and add a little water. mix. viola spot treat. leave on overnight or just for 10 minutes if you can't stand the smell. I add coconut oil since oil helps penetrate skin better and coconut oil had healing properties n is antifungal.
WARNING: do not go overboard and put the fruit of the garlic on your face it will burn a blister into your skin. dilute with water. Garlic is very strong.
Its an effective and cheap spot treatment. demolished two cysts ( i have hormonal acne around jawline) in two days. Another one was forming two days ago. HUGE mofo but its nonexistent today. These buggas usually takes weeks to disappear.
Be carful when using garlic! It can burn your face; it can leave your face with scabs, red marks, and burn scars!
When I first started using garlic, I would wash my face then take a clove of garlic and slice it into pieces. I would then place the pieces over my acne. Wait 10-15 minuets then wash off with water. Use moisturizer.
This worked great until I wanted to take desperate measures and get rid of my acne all together. So I shredded some garlic and made it into paste. I placed it on my acne and less than 5 minuets later I couldn't take it. It burned so bad! It left my face RED! Oh and it gets better... The next morning I woke up, face still RED, later that evening, my face had blisters and was swollen. It looked awful! It has been 3 days since then, thanks to Vitamin E, my skin is healing fast and nicely. I will post my results and opinion in a few days.
Bottom line, I would try eating garlic.That seems to be less harmful and helpful!
If you want to use it on face only put a little on your pimples! And leave on for a little bit! Don't do what I did...
I think it's great and has worked better than over the counter and specialty products and wish I'd known about it as a teenager. As a sufferer for over a decade this is not a miracle cure but has greatly reduced acne, gotten rid of any painful acne and helped in the healing process. I have found the best way to eat it is crushed on bread with liberal amounts of butter. Tastes something like extra strong garlic bread. I usually follow this up with breakfast and a good scrub with toothpaste. This has minimised smell to a point where hubby does not notice it but really the benefits outweigh any odour produced. The boost to your immunity is noticeable too, while bacteria begins to resist antibiotics it doesn't with garlic and it's great to stop sickness. I'll continue to take it.
I used this in a homemade coffee conditioner i had made up.
The coffee makes the hair stronger and thicker and the garlic gives it a shine and keeps it healthy.
My hair is sooo soft and shiny, it does smell slightly but its not overpowering and actually is quite pleasant. I shall keep on using garlic in my hair :D and the coffee!!
I have pretty problematic skin. I used to have a new pimple or pimples at least every three days. I took garlic to fend off a yeast infection and it also has cleared my face up. I take a clove daily and my skin is pretty much pimple free. I get one occasionally but not nearly as bad as they used to be.
I love garlic. I use this instead of antibiotics, as I do not believe in them. I started using garlic back in 2007 when I got an ear infection. I decided to take garlic and see how it would help. Did wonders. Since taking it, I've never been sick or had another infection. I would like to point out that garlic is not soley responsible for this, so don't think it's a miracle cure. For acne, take 1-2 cloves a day. Crush it up to release the juices. Mask it with something if the taste is too strong for you. I don't need to do this. While I apply it topically, I don't suggest it for everyone. It can burn your skin.

We love bone-in ribeye steaks—they are right up there on the tenderness scale, but because they are well-marbled they also have plenty of deep, beefy flavor. To accompany them, leeks make a nice change from the standard grilled onions, and in place of horseradish, we give you a super-quick way to perk up store-bought wholegrain mustard.

|1 tablespoon ground cumin
|2 tablespoons olive oil
|1 tablespoon ground coriander
|4 leeks, white parts only, trimmed and very well washed
|1 tablespoon chile powder
|1 tablespoon olive oil, for leeks
|2 tablespoons kosher salt
|1/4 cup wholegrain mustard
|1/4 cup freshly cracked black pepper
|2 tablespoons finely chopped dried apricot
|1 bone-in ribeye steak, about 2 lb (900 g) and 2 in (5 cm) thick
Build a multilevel fire in your grill. When the coals are all ignited, the flames have died down, and the temperature is hot, you're ready to cook.
Combine the cumin, coriander, chile powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
Rub the steak with some of the oil, then sprinkle it with about two-thirds of the spice mixture, pressing down gently to be sure it adheres. Put the steak on the grill directly over the hottest part of the fire and sear very well for 5–8 minutes per side, then move to the cooler part of the grill and continue to cook until it is done to your liking (8–10 minutes more per side for rare). To check for doneness, poke the meat with your finger to test its firmness . If you're unsure, make a cut into the center; it should be just slightly less done than you like it. Remove from the grill, cover loosely with foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
While the steak is searing, rub the leeks with the remaining oil and sprinkle with the remaining spice rub. When you move the steak to the cooler side of the grill, lay the leeks beside it and cook them, rolling around occasionally for even cooking, until they are golden brown and slightly charred (8–12 minutes). Transfer the leeks to a cutting board, halve them lengthwise, then slice crosswise into half-moons about 1/2 in wide. Cover to keep warm until the steak is done.
Mix the mustard and the apricots together until evenly combined.
Transfer the steak to a platter (halved or sliced as you wish) and arrange the leeks, cut side up, around the meat. Dab both with the apricot mustard and serve, passing additional mustard on the side.

Rev. William Barber II met with about 75 Charlotte activists and community leaders Tuesday night to plan a march that he called "bigger than Selma."
Barber, president of the N.C. NAACP, led an organizing rally at Little Rock AME Zion Church. It was the latest stop on a 15-city tour to promote the Feb. 8 march in Raleigh.
Barber said he's asking people to "stand up" for justice.
"This movement is not about black and white, it's not about liberal or conservative," he said before the rally.
Barber is the organizer of "Moral Mondays," the demonstrations that began last spring during the General Assembly session in Raleigh.
The protests targeted what Barber has called the "immoral and unconstitutional policies" of the Republican-controlled legislature, including shrinking of unemployment benefits, a decision not to expand Medicaid and a voting bill that, among other things, requires a voter photo ID.
Nearly 1,000 people have been arrested in "Moral Monday" protests.

Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- House Democrats asked Republican leaders to investigate the safety of metal-on-metal hip implants made by companies such as Johnson & Johnson and stents used to clear clogged brain arteries.
Energy and Commerce Committee Democrats led by Representative Henry Waxman of California urged Republicans in a letter today to hold hearings on the devices as the panel focuses on reauthorizing industry user fees that fund U.S. regulators' review of new medical products. Past hearings have focused on delays in device approvals, the letter said.
"Looking further into the 'metal-on-metal' hip implants and brain stents, two high-profile devices that appear to have resulted in significant harm to human health, would shed further light on the regulation of medical devices," the Democratic lawmakers wrote.
"Tiny metal particles may wear off" metal-on-metal hip implants and enter the bloodstream from friction of the ball and cup, the Food and Drug Administration said. The agency has received more than 5,000 complaints about the implants, according to the Democrats' letter. About 500,000 patients have received metal-on-metal hips.
About 15 percent of patients implanted with the Wingspan stent system to open a clogged brain artery and at high risk for a second stroke had a stroke or died within 30 days of the procedure, compared with almost 6 percent of patients treated without a stent, according to a National Institutes of Health study released Sept. 7 by the New England Journal of Medicine.
Approval Process
The stents from Natick, Massachusetts-based Boston Scientific Corp. were approved in 2005 under a humanitarian exemption that lets a maker bypass full premarket approval when the condition affects fewer than 4,000 people, according to the letter. The company last year sold its neurovascular unit, including the Wingspan stents, to Kalamazoo, Michigan-based Stryker Corp.
Representatives Frank Pallone of New Jersey, Diana DeGette of Colorado and John Dingell of Michigan also signed the letter to Fred Upton, a Michigan Republican and chairman of the committee. Staff members for Upton didn't return a request for comment on whether he would investigate the devices.
The hip implants were cleared for sale through the agency's device approval process known as 510(k), for which clinical data isn't typically required and device makers instead show the product is similar to one already on the market.
Johnson & Johnson, based in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and Boston Scientific didn't immediately return requests to comment.

Server Monitoring With munin And monit On Mandriva 2008.0 - Page 2
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Sun, 2008-02-24 19:54. ::
4 Install And Configure monit
monit seems to be available only in certain Mandriva contrib_backports repositories; I found it in the carroll.cac.psu.edu repository, so we must enable this now:
urpmi.addmedia contrib_backports ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrivalinux/official/2008.0/i586/media/contrib/backports with media_info/hdlist.cz
You can try other contrib_backports repositories with the help of http://easyurpmi.zarb.org, but if they don't contain monit, you must remove the contrib_backports repository that you've chosen like this...
urpmi.removemedia contrib_backports
... and try another contrib_backports repository.
Afterwards we install monit:
urpmi monit
monit's default configuration file is /etc/monitrc where you can find some configuration examples (you can find more configuration examples on http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/doc/examples.php) that are all commented out. We open that file now and uncomment the include /etc/monit.d/* line at the end:
vi /etc/monitrc
This tells monit to also look in the directory /etc/monit.d for configuration files, therefore instead of modifying /etc/monitrc, we create a new configuration file /etc/monit.d/monitrc. In my case I want to monitor proftpd, sshd, mysql, apache, and postfix, I want to enable the monit web interface on port 2812, I want a https web interface, I want to log in to the web interface with the username admin and the password test, and I want monit to send email alerts to root@localhost, so my file looks like this:
vi /etc/monit.d/monitrc
(Please make sure that you check processes only that really exist on your server - otherwise monit won't start. I.e., if you tell monit to check Postfix, but Postfix isn't installed on the system, monit won't start.)
The configuration file is pretty self-explaining; if you are unsure about an option, take a look at the monit documentation: http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/doc/manual.php
In the apache part of the monit configuration you find this:
which means that monit tries to connect to www.example.com on port 80 and tries to access the file /monit/token which is /var/www/www.example.com/web/monit/token because our web site's document root is /var/www/www.example.com/web. If monit doesn't succeed it means Apache isn't running, and monit is going to restart it. Now we must create the file /var/www/www.example.com/web/monit/token and write some random string into it:
mkdir /var/www/www.example.com/web/monit
Next we create the pem cert (/var/certs/monit.pem) we need for the SSL-encrypted monit web interface:
mkdir /var/certs
We need an OpenSSL configuration file to create our certificate. It can look like this:
vi /var/certs/monit.cnf
Now we create the certificate like this:
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config ./monit.cnf -out /var/certs/monit.pem -keyout /var/certs/monit.pem
openssl gendh 512 >> /var/certs/monit.pem
openssl x509 -subject -dates -fingerprint -noout -in /var/certs/monit.pem
chmod 700 /var/certs/monit.pem
Finally, we can start monit:
/etc/init.d/monit start
Now point your browser to https://www.example.com:2812/ (make sure port 2812 isn't blocked by your firewall), log in with admin and test, and you should see the monit web interface. It should look like this:
(Main Screen)
(Apache Status Page)
Depending on your configuration in /etc/monit.d/monitrc monit will restart your services if they fail and send notification emails if process IDs of services change, etc.
Have fun!

Hampton & Richmond Borough chairman Steve McPherson has told striker Dan Thompson to forget about trials at pro clubs and concentrate on playing football.
Thompson, who returned to the club earlier this season after a failed spell at League Two Portsmouth, missed Tuesday's FA Trophy replay win to attend a trial for Championship side Leeds United.
But McPherson, who still remembers the saga that took the youngster to Fratton Park, reckons he would be better served by getting a solid season at Hampton under his belt.
"He has got an agent in his ear telling him to go here and there for trials, but I think he just needs to prove himself here and play football," he added.
Hampton academy graduate Reece Brewster is also attracting attention from the Football League with scouts from Championship clubs Watford and QPR keeping tabs on his progress.
Meanwhile, McPherson has insisted the FA Cup prize money bounty on offer for reaching the first round is not critical to his club's Ryman Premier League promotion hopes.
"We never factor the FA Cup into our annual budgets," said the Beveree chief.
"If we do not get to the next round, it will not affect whether we let players go or not. The only reason players leave is if they are not performing."

A mysterious new technology emerges, seemingly out of nowhere, but actually the result of two decades of intense research and development by nearly anonymous researchers.
Political idealists project visions of liberation and revolution onto it; establishment elites heap contempt and scorn on it.
On the other hand, technologists – nerds – are transfixed by it. They see within it enormous potential and spend their nights and weekends tinkering with it.
Eventually mainstream products, companies and industries emerge to commercialize it; its effects become profound; and later, many people wonder why its powerful promise wasn't more obvious from the start.
What technology am I talking about? Personal computers in 1975, the Internet in 1993, and – I believe – Bitcoin in 2014. MORE
Some people assume that all Bitcoin advocates are motivated by a libertarian political agenda. That is certainly not my agenda. I'm a lifelong Democrat who supported Obama in the last two elections. I think the Federal Reserve plays an important function, and I don't agree with people who think inflation should be our nation's primary economic concern.
It is true that many early Bitcoin proponents were libertarians. But it is also true that almost every significant computing movement had early proponents who were ideologically motivated.
One of the interesting things about bitcoin is the contrast between how it is portrayed in the press and how it is understood by technologists. The press tends to portray bitcoin as either a speculative bubble or a scheme for supporting criminal activity. In Silicon Valley, by contrast, bitcoin is generally viewed as a profound technological breakthrough.
The Internet is based on a set of core protocols that specify how information such as text, photos, and code should be transmitted. The designers of the Web built placeholders for a system that moved money, but never successfully completed it. Bitcoin is the first plausible proposal for an economic protocol for the Internet.
A neon sign sits on the floor of Coinbase's loft-style office in San Francisco. The curving orange and white tubes depict the distinctive B-symbol for the digital currency bitcoin, with the words "Accepted Here" beneath it. The joke, of course, is that the sign is reminiscent of something that could be a regular part of the landscape, as commonplace as any "Bud" sign. And bitcoin at present is anything but commonplace.
