The addition of more architecture in commercialization of products (stores, supply chains, etc.) has been an inherent fact to historical retail development in intensity and extent. However, a glance of the whole retail system in any city provide the verification of coexistence and development of many architectural typologies used for retailing, formed with dissimilar ammounts of resources (energy, material, information, technology), that entail different environmental impacts. 2014-11-17T14:00:23Z 3-D geometrical modelling and solar radiation at urban scale - morphological or typological digital mock-ups? http://hdl.handle.net/2117/24197 Title: 3-D geometrical modelling and solar radiation at urban scale - morphological or typological digital mock-ups? Authors: Curreli, Alessandra; Coch Roura, Helena Abstract: Studies regarding solar energy at the neighbourhood scale always have to deal with the size and the complex geometry of a real built context. Three-dimensional modelling techniques allow visual reproduction of formal features and solar performance of a city portion. Nevertheless, the definition of the right level of detail (LOD) is always a crucial point when creating digital mock-ups. On the one hand, currently available computational resources are not totally able to suport the exact representation of a building cluster and the simulation of environmental phenomena is often based on parametrical analyses. On the other hand, a drastic geometrical abstraction could discard important information and affect the reliability of solar predictions. This study aims to identify the most suitable LOD to simulate the solar performance at the mesoscale of the city. To do this, the direct radiation access within a building cluster is assessed by employing virtual models with different approximation degrees. This comparison allows assessing the margin of error between different levels of detail and discussing about benefits and inconveniences of the two approaches. The results might be elaborated to define a rank of deviation factors, useful to evaluate the margin of error provided by generic models with regard to solar predictions. 2014-10-01T16:35:55Z The Perception of light affected by colour surfaces in indoor spaces http://hdl.handle.net/2117/24196 Title: The Perception of light affected by colour surfaces in indoor spaces Authors: López Besora, Judit; Coch Roura, Helena; Isalgue Buxeda, Antonio; Alonso Montolio, Carlos; Aguilar Sánchez, Alexis Abstract: Visual comfort in indoor spaces depends on the amount and quality of light available and also on space characteristics. One of the most influential aspects is the colour of surfaces definint a space. Each colour has a reflectance coefficient resulting from how much light is reflected back from the coloured surface. However, from the observer's point of view, there are other factors that may affect visual perception of a space painted with colours. Some of them are psychological and depend on the background of the observer while other factors are physiological and are strongly connected to the sense of sight. According to this theory, architectural spaces could take advantage of the benefits of colour to improve visual responses for users. In this paper, we present a case study in which three coloured spaces with different lighting conditions were assessed by a sample of observers. At the same time, luminance and illuminance measurements were taken so as to compare these values with light perceived in the spaces. The results of this field work show the influence that colour has on the perception of light in three-dimensional spaces and contribute to the study of colour in architecture. 2014-10-01T16:18:48Z Urban fabric performance in Mediterranean city : a typology based mass-energy analysis http://hdl.handle.net/2117/24194 Title: Urban fabric performance in Mediterranean city : a typology based mass-energy analysis Authors: Morganti, Michele; Pagès Ramon, Anna; Isalgue Buxeda, Antonio; Cecere, Carlo; Coch Roura, Helena Abstract: The link between urban form and building energy demand is a complex balance of morphological, constructive, utilization and climatic factor. Especially in European compact city where existing areas prevail on much more energy-efficient new settlements, it is evident that operative ways to transform efficiently the building stock have to be found. Moreover, it is now widely accepted that urban scale has a first rate importance in the building design process and its correlated energy performance. It has been observed that scaling laws are useful in describing the complex structure of urban systems: modern cities have a "metabòlic rate" that approximately follows the living organism scaling laws. Nevertheless, it has not been entirely verified that this connection remains the same while studying the phenomena at the urban and building scale and what kind of relationship between mass and power exists (i.e. energy) depending on typologies and urban form. This study suggests an approach for using mass parameter - representative of built-form - as energy performance evaluation tools on a homogeneous urban texture. Mass is connected to both built-form and technology and these determine, to a great extent, the energy use. In Mediterranean climate, it has been observed that mass has strong relevance on energy demand playing an important role in reducing heating and cooling consumptions. Our work aims at validating this relationship, focusing on widespread urban fabrics of the Mediterranean compact city. Tests on diferent case studies from Barcelona and Rome (analyzed independently in terms of their energy demands and their masses) are carried out. Mass evaluation is based on calculation of effective mass of built elements. Building energy demand is assessed by modelling on multi space dynamic thermal analysis tool. Results presented and discussed point out that heating and cooling energy demand are related to urban fabrics mass and, starting from typological based analysis, it's possible to estimate it. This work is a broader treatment of a research study about one possible way to comprehend "metabolic rate" scaling law concerning urban fabric. Such knowledge-base could giving hints to conscious and effective built environament transformations towards more efficient conditions. 2014-10-01T16:03:16Z Solar access in densely buit environment : formal parameters comparative methodology in the case of Barcelona, Spain http://hdl.handle.net/2117/23340 Title: Solar access in densely buit environment : formal parameters comparative methodology in the case of Barcelona, Spain Authors: Coch Roura, Helena; Curreli, Alessandra Abstract: In what direction is the historical debate on contemporary cities evolving, in this age of sustainability? How are renewable energies and solar energy in particular being incorporated into urban settlements? To date, researches mainly focused on urban density, while less attention has been paid to the spatial properties of the built environment. In this study, we compare the performance of urban fabrics of similar building intensity in Barcelona (Spain) to investigate the extent to which morphological features of the built environment can affect sun collection on the buildings envelope, in order to define new formal guidelines for a "solar" design of urban planning. The available technical tools for solar radiation analysis are not really suited to an urban scale or to the early stages of the planning process. Therefore, we apply a simplified comparative methodology supported by Heliodón 2 simulation software, we intend to provide a new methodological and operational tool which allows fast interaction between solar radiation and the urban design process. The present paper is an early step in an on-going PhD thesis. In the first section we describe the general approach, the objectives and the method. In the second section, we present the application of this method to the Eixample district and the results. In this preliminary study, we focus on one of the spatial characteristics of the urban fabric in particular - the orientation of the street network. 2014-07-01T07:54:10Z Solar radiation and architectural design in Barcelona http://hdl.handle.net/2117/23338 Title: Solar radiation and architectural design in Barcelona Authors: Aguilar Sánchez, Alexis; Alonso Montolio, Carlos; Coch Roura, Helena; Serra Florensa, Rafael Abstract: The principles of the passive solar house were defined in the 1970s. Since that time, strategies have been conceptualized and tested with different examples built in the USA and in Europe. Models directly related to the Mediterranean climate are rare in this context. They will be the subject of the present study. In these cases, the main issue is to reconcile solar gain in winter and solar shading protection in summer. In addition, summer heat can be lost through natural ventilation. The research will focus on aspects of architectural design to implement alternatives for optimizing control of radiation. The Heliodon 2TM computer software will be used to establish evaluation methods for certifying the energy efficiency of the solutions under study. 2014-07-01T07:48:31Z Visual and acoustic adaptability in architecture http://hdl.handle.net/2117/23319 Title: Visual and acoustic adaptability in architecture Authors: Alonso Montolio, Carlos; Isalgue Buxeda, Antonio; Coch Roura, Helena; Palme, Massimo Abstract: This paper deals with both physical and psychological dimensions of visual and acoustic adaptability in architecture. Studies revealed that thermal comfort at one point in a transitional space is determined by the relative temperature at the location compared to the average temperatures the subjects had previously been exposed to. The objective of this study is to investigate whether these results can be extrapolated to visual and acoustic perception. The proposed methodology is based on observing individual behaviour with a sequenced exposure to different controlled visual and acoustic conditions. The results, which will be discussed, can be applied not only to general change in environmental conditions but also while walking through transitional spaces, where a weII-designed gradient of environmental conditions could imply energy savings. 2014-06-27T10:35:54Z Luminances and vision related to daylighting http://hdl.handle.net/2117/23193 Title: Luminances and vision related to daylighting Authors: Aguilar Sánchez, Alexis; Uriarte, Urtza; Isalgue Buxeda, Antonio; Coch Roura, Helena; Serra Florensa, Rafael Abstract: Daylighting has an excellent color rendering, as human eyes have been developed under the sun's rays, and it yields very proactive elements to human behavior. In the field of luminance contrast, it has been noted that the probability of excessive contrast is lower when considering daylighting in relation to artificial lighting. As a result, in activities which require more demanding visual accuracy, daylighting can offer more and better conditions for light and space variations considering the wide range of the field of vision. This paper proposes a new approach to the methodology of calculating luminance balances considering the surface position in space and its relative weight in the final mean luminance value. This is based on ergonomic field of vision distribution, which confers major importance on what is in the solid angle analyzed by the cones area of the eye. The starting point when constructing numerical models of lighting comfort is the human eye's sensitivity to light. Assessing interior architectural visual comfort conditions is the ultimate purpose of this work, along with the possibility of taking advantage of photography-related software programs that could be useful tools for architects and interior designers. Avoiding uncomfortable visual situations is an environmentally efficient approach because the end effect of poor visual conditions is a higher demand for artificial lighting, leading to energy consumption that could be saved with lighting conditions adapted to human comfort. 2014-06-10T14:01:14Z Envelope materiality : light and heavy in wineries : the case of "Santa Ana" winery, in Mendoza, Argentina http://hdl.handle.net/2117/23146 Title: Envelope materiality : light and heavy in wineries : the case of "Santa Ana" winery, in Mendoza, Argentina Authors: Ganem, Carolina; Coch Roura, Helena Abstract: In a winery, energy flux exchange and thermal inertia of the envelope are crucial due to the constant need for stabilized temperatures. As a consequence, energy consuming systems like serpentine pipes inside tanks control temperature during fermentation; and air conditioned equipment maintains the appropriate microclimate in oak breeding barrels rooms. "Santa Ana" Winery, located in Mendoza (Argentina), presents two types of envelope materiality: one heavy (mainly adobe walls ¿¿= 0.81W/mK) for fermentation and breeding stages and one light (mainly galvanized steel sheets ¿¿= 45 W/mK) for the storage stage. In both cases the roof is insulated. A complete envelope analysis was made, data from auxiliary energy demand was collected and summer in situ temperature measurements were performed at critical control points. Also, recommendations to environmentally refurbish these envelopes are presented as a light/heavy equilibrium that could serve its purpose with a response from low energy architecture is needed. 2014-06-03T17:00:07Z Visual comfort assessment based on perception in transitional spaces between inside and outside: a Mediterranean case study http://hdl.handle.net/2117/23145 Title: Visual comfort assessment based on perception in transitional spaces between inside and outside: a Mediterranean case study Authors: López Besora, Judit; Alonso Montolio, Carlos; Crespo Cabillo, Isabel; Serra Florensa, Rafael; Coch Roura, Helena Abstract: Visual comfort is usually defined in terms of illumination level, with the consequent disparity of values found in publications. However, transitional spaces have different features, such as dynamism and adaptive process, compared to other static spaces in buildings. Therefore, other factors must be considered when assessing the visual response. This study focuses on the quality of light and atmosphere and their relationship to other features such as space design. With this aim, four parameters were determined to evaluate the visual perception in a case study, namely the entrance areas of Caixaforum in Barcelona. Data collection and analytical observation were performed, and later the response to visual comfort and space design was evaluated. Although this is a single case study, the scope of this method could be all kind of entrance halls in Mediterranean climate. The results make it clear that visual comfort depends on many perceptive and spatial factors. 2014-06-03T16:44:38Z Architectural repercussions of environmental climate control in the generation of administrative building types; differences between model and technology chosen http://hdl.handle.net/2117/23143 Title: Architectural repercussions of environmental climate control in the generation of administrative building types; differences between model and technology chosen Authors: Cabello Matud, Cristina; Coch Roura, Helena; Alonso Montolio, Carlos Abstract: This work will try to determine which models have truly been influential when considering the construction of a building for administrative use. This paper upholds four types created in the United States in less than a century of architecture and how one of the driving forces behind establishing the formal traits generated by these types and their corresponding sub-types is technological development linked to thermal installations in the office buildings. The study is undertaken considering the climate control installations as volumetric elements to be implemented in the building and connecting them to it. Research allows us to establish the links between architectural type and thermal installations taking into account new trends, installation efficiency and possible integration of renewable energies into buildings with administrative use. 2014-06-03T16:31:19Z The role of resources management on shaping the landscape patterns : the water in the royal estates of Lisbon region http://hdl.handle.net/2117/22988 Title: The role of resources management on shaping the landscape patterns : the water in the royal estates of Lisbon region Authors: Teresa, Marat Mendes; Cuchí Burgos, Alberto 2014-05-14T13:34:46Z Los sistemas tradicionales como óptimos de gestión de los recursos http://hdl.handle.net/2117/22987 Title: Los sistemas tradicionales como óptimos de gestión de los recursos Authors: Cuchí Burgos, Alberto 2014-05-14T13:12:05Z Dynamic sensation of comfort in buildings : the temperature changes effects http://hdl.handle.net/2117/22984 Title: Dynamic sensation of comfort in buildings : the temperature changes effects Authors: Palme, M; Isalgue Buxeda, Antonio; Coch Roura, Helena; Serra Florensa, Rafael; Marincic, I; Fanchiotti, A Abstract: The sensation of comfort in buildings depends on exter¬nal and internal variables: the well-known PMV method relates the expected temperature with the physiological behavior of the human body. Some models have discus¬sed the relevance of adaptation factors, in order to ex¬plain the higher expected "good" temperature of users living in warm climates. The same PMV method has been modified for these climatic situations. An adapta¬tion term has clearly to be considered, but other effects are important to determine the real expected temperatu¬re. In this paper temperature changes are considered to play an important role determining the expected "good" temperature. Effects of ventilation, rapid thermal chan¬ges when people move inside or outside of a building, continuous change in the temperature rate in the HVAC controlled spaces, are investigated here. Results show how to determine a dT/dt dependent term, which has to be considering in the PMV evaluation, in warm as in temperate climate. These results will be com¬pared with field studies for different climates. A PID (pro¬portional integrative derivative) correction in the PMV predict results seem to have to be expected, to consider at the same time adaptation and temperature rate effects. 2014-05-14T12:53:14Z About information systems as a key for the sustainability strategy : case on energy efficiency of UPC buildings http://hdl.handle.net/2117/22974 Title: About information systems as a key for the sustainability strategy : case on energy efficiency of UPC buildings Authors: Ferrer Balas, Dídac; Martorell, Galdric Ruiz; Cuchí Burgos, Alberto 2014-05-13T16:56:23Z

Round-up: Detroit's big new diesels for next year
For General Motors, Ford and Dodge, the magical torque figure is 650.
Dodge's newly redesigned 6.7-liter, inline-six will dole out 350 hp and 650 ft./lbs. of torque when equipped in their 2500 and 3500 lines of pickups. Ford will follow Dodge's lead and boost displacement of their Powerstroke V8 to 6.4-liters, from the previous model's 6-liter powerplant, with horsepower expected to crest the 350 hp mark as well. Both vehicles will go on sale this January.
The General, whose offerings should hit dealer lots in the first quarter of 2007 as 2008 models, will attempt to win back some of its 'Professional Grade' consumers with the new Duramax. According to GM, the new diesel will make approximately 360 hp and, you guessed it, 650 ft./lbs. of torque.
Expect to see more specific figures over the next few months.

About Us
Oceana, founded in 2001, is the largest international organization focused solely on ocean conservation, protecting marine ecosystems and endangered species. Our offices in Europe, North America, Central America and South America work together on a limited number of strategic, directed campaigns to achieve measurable outcomes that will help return our oceans to former levels of abundance. We believe in the importance of science in identifying problems and solutions. Our scientists work closely with our teams of economists, lawyers and advocates to achieve tangible results for the oceans.
Oceana in the Baltic Sea
The Baltic Sea covers an area of 415,266 square kilometers in Northern Europe, and is almost entirely surrounded by nine different countries. The sea has a very unique brackish water environment. Sadly, it's one of the most polluted seas in the world. Furthermore, destructive fishing practices – like trawling, high levels of by-catch and discards – have led to the degradation of its marine environment.
In 2011, we opened our Copenhagen office. Here, our team work to promote sustainable fisheries and to improve the network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the Baltic Sea and the Kattegat. To achieve this, we combine marine environmental advocacy work with scientific at-sea investigations. Since 2011, we have conducted three Baltic Sea expeditions, leading to concrete proposals for 13 new MPAs in the Baltic Sea and the Kattegat.
Oceana seeks more information on fish in poor condition
Oceana has conducted several at-sea expeditions worldwide with the aim of gathering biological data for the basis of increasing available knowledge, proposing new Marine Protected Areas and management measures. Since the startup of our Baltic Sea office we have conducted three expeditions in the Baltic Sea and the Kattegat. Compared to expeditions conducted in other parts of the world, we have encountered a particularly high amount of dead fish and fish that appear to be abnormal, in poor condition or sick. We don't know what the reason for this is, and it is not easy to pinpoint a specific cause. Help us to gather more information on this by reporting to [email protected] if you have encountered such incidents.

Twisted Balsa
I purchased about $160 worth of balsa sheets 3 inch wide 48 inches long varing thickenss 1/16 thru 1/4. I have had it for 3 - 4 months stacked on a flat shelf in a fairly climate controled basement. Much of the 1/16 stuff once removed from the stack would start twisting. I would keep the heavier stuff on top. After cutting it into 14 inch sheets (size for the laser), it would seem to twist worse. Now, just about all of it is twisting (15 - 20 sheets) and the 3/32 stuff is starting to twist. I'm confused???? I have other stock that I have had for 20 years stored in the same fashion and location that is still straight as an arrow. Any ideas on what is going wrong and how I can fix it? I'm guessing the moisture content was too high when it was shipped and now it is drying out! Not interested in bashing any companies, just wondering if there is a way to fix it. Also, this may be an example of lowest price not always the best.................

I buy #2 and#3 balsa from a well known Company, on purpose.
I usually buy a couple of hundred dollars worth at a time,intended for sheeting LE's and shear webbing.
I store the stacks under a 1/2" thick aluminum plate.-That doesn't work either.I have soaked the sheets in the bathtub,weighted them down for a month,and when I remove the weight- more 'propellors'! Hot water, cold water, ammonia,
it makes no difference..
It's not a 'problem' to me, but I can't suggest anything to help you. I have tried twisting them the exact amount in the opposite direction,with no success.
It does lie flat when glued though.

It was probably sawn wrong. Most any straight piece of balsa will warp, bow or cup when cut.
Here's how I handle it. Say I have a 3" wide sheet and need 2 1/2". I don't cut a 1/2" piece off. I cut maybe a 1/8" off one side and see what happens after it sits a few minutes. If it bows I know that it has a lot of tension or compression on one side or the other. I'll then cut about a 1/8" off of the convex side and wait a while. I usually go back and forth a few times. Usually I can get a straight piece, but not always. After doing this a few times, you will know exactly where to trim some off. Generally if you get a straight piece, it will stay that way.
Good luck.

I don't have any friends. Not really.
I've never had many friends growing up. I've always had one or two really good friends, best friends. But, over time, the relationships end.
My childhood best friend was my best friend until I moved away at the age of 14. So, I made new friends; developed a close relationship to a girl in high school. About a year into that relationship, I realized we were too different and broke the friendship off.
I moved on to a new friend and we were best friends until about college. She still refers to me as one of her best friends (11 years after we graduated from high school, btw). But, we talk about once every few months and our lives are going in different directions. I consider her a friend, but not one I would call with day to day activities, happenings, and to talk.
When I went to college, I made great friends and developed a very close relationship with someone I'll call "L". "L" and I were extremely close, and we had a very close circle of wonderful friends.
After I graduated from college, I kept up my friendship with "L" and we would visit each other as often as we could, even though she lived in Michigan, and I lived in Oregon. I didn't really have any friends in Oregon. L was my only real friend. I worked in various jobs and made acquaintances, got together with people after work, and would participate in social activities, but after I left the job or work environment, the "friendships" would end.
When I met my now-ex-husband, things began to change for me and L. I was engaged, and had "it all" - house, dog, job, money, no debt, etc. Except that I wasn't in love with my soon-to-be-husband. And I didn't know who to talk to about it and how to talk about it. So, I kept it all inside. And slowly it began to eat away at me, and I became a very angry, bitter, unhappy person. I didn't realize this at the time. But, I apparently took it out on L.
After my wedding, the misery only increased. L planned a trip out to visit me (about a year after I had been married) and she and I planned a girls weekend to Vancouver, BC. It was the beginning of the end of our relationship. My negativity had apparently hit a breaking point with her. Almost the entire trip, she was short, and mean to me. She would say hurtful things and snap at me. She was very defensive any time I tried to inquire as to why she was being so mean. It was one of the worst weekends I've ever had. I counted down until she left. I coudln't figure out what was wrong.
Once she left, I sent her an email I had carefully composed inquiring as to why she was so mean and angry with me. She wrote a scathing, hate-filled, vitriolic email back basically telling me that I was incredibly negative and my negativity and friendship exhausted her. She was tired of always being positive and trying to bring me "up". I think she meant our entire friendship - not just the recent changes.
I was heartbroken. I didn't think I was negative and it hurt incredibly to be told that my friendship exhausted someone I thought loved me unconditionally. I never wrote her back. I was so hurt and devastated. I didn't know how to recover the friendship after being told I was a horrible friend. It was also a changing point in my life. I started really trying to pay attention to my negativity. I decided I deserved to be happy and so I mustered the courage to divorce my husband.
I started over - friendless and husbandless. I worked really hard on focusing on positives, seeing the silver lining in every situation, and staying as positive as I could.
I tried to involve myself in social activities to make friends and begin fresh. I trained for and completed a marathon, and met friends throughout that process. But, after the marathon training, the get-t0gethers and social activity invites stopped coming to me. The group kept in contact with each other, but I wasn't included. A year later, I joined the same running group (some new faces, some old) to train for a half marathon and make new friends. Same thing - we were social while training and after the event, I would only see their activities on facebook.
I made friends with two female co-workers in the company I worked in for almost 4.5 years. But, after we stopped working together, although we chat about 2-3 times a year, our conversations mostly consist of me inviting them to do things, them agreeing we should get together, and then nothing happening. Only to get another text or email months later saying we should get together.
So, here I am, 30 years old and completely lonely.
I have a boyfriend, and I can talk to him. But, I don't have any girlfriends. I don't have anyone I can vent to about my relationship. I don't have anyone I can go to brunch with, or grab drinks after work with. I don't have anyone.
And I am incredibly lonely.
There is obviously something incredibly wrong with me and I am so flawed that I consistently push people away and drive away any chances at lasting friendship.
I really don't know what's wrong with me, but whatever it is has made me extremely lonely.
I like the way my clothes fit now that I've lost some weight. I like the way my body feels and I feel more desirable to my partner. I feel sexy, I feel more confident. I feel good. Weight loss has been good to me.
But, I've hit a wall.
For 12 weeks I was participating in a Biggest Loser competition at work. Every Monday morning, the participants would weigh in and our success, or lack thereof would be emailed to the other participants in a "Weekly Weigh In� email. I worked hard. I stayed on track (with a few slip ups here and there �V to be expected, I'm human). And I came in 3rd. And I could NOT be more proud! I lost 16.8 pounds! I feel amazing! And, as I mentioned earlier - I LOVE the way my clothes fit and my body feels. I am very proud of myself.
But, now that the competition is over, I feel like I've lost the motivation to stay on track. You would think that the clothes fitting better, feeling more confident, and feeling sexy would be enough to keep me going towards my goal. But it��s almost done the opposite. I want to "cheat" all the time. It's been SO hard to stay on track. Last Monday (8th) was the final weigh in, and I planned to get back on track Tuesday morning (after a celebratory day - I have been allowing myself one cheat day during the week to keep me on track and it's the day of my weigh-in, after I weigh in, of course). I started on track on Tuesday - breakfast and lunch packed, with healthy snacks (my usual). Then, we went to the movies in the afternoon. I had movie theater popcorn. Granted, I didn't want to eat dinner after that (and didn't)-but I still felt guilty. Tried to tell myself I'm allowed to eat unhealthy things, just not ALL the time and that this is a LIFE long journey to get right. Still racked with guilt.
Wednesday - I was able to stick to the plan. Granted, I was at the upper tier of my calorie allotment, but I still stayed on plan. I even got my 30 minute run in!
Thursday - things started off alright. I went for a 30 minute run. Then they veered off horribly. I didn��t even track on Thursday. Or Friday. Or Saturday. Things just went so very wrong. Good, but wrong. I started the day with 2 giant cinnamon rolls that were absolutely delicious. I enjoyed EVERY bite. SO good. But, I'm pretty sure my entire calorie allotment was consumed before I was done enjoying the deliciousness of the baked yumminess. Then, I tried to get back on track by having my planned healthy lunch (meanwhile in my head I was already telling myself I'd screwed up). Then, my partner suggested we pick up some steaks for dinner. He wanted to grill them and I offered to make a spinach salad. I really should have had a very healthy salad for dinner and try to cut my losses. But, no, I ate the steak - definitely more than my 3-4oz that I allow myself. More like 6 oz I'm guessing. Oh geez. It was also very yummy.
Friday - continued my spiral of shame. Had 3 normal sized cinnamon rolls (I had really been craving them the week before - hence the binge) from the local grocery store bakery section. They weren't that good - very disappointing. Why did I eat 3 of them, then? Because I could. And I had bought a tray of 6 - and felt that I should get my money's worth. I had a healthy lunch. And popcorn (which I normally wouldn't have a problem with as I have it as a snack every now and then - but after cinnamon rolls, I felt very guilty). My partner and I went to the park and played Frisbee golf and then tossed the Frisbee back and forth. Then, we went to the grocery store to grab stuff for dinner. We got ground chuck for burgers. I made 6 patties with seasonings. He melted 2 slices of cheese (cut from an 8 oz block) onto each patty. I ate one over a bed of lettuce. He had 2. Oh, and did I mention the slurpee we had after the park?! OH GEEZ. Still feeling guilty about the amount of fat I was consuming, oh and the massive calorie intake!!!!
Saturday - I went on a 9.5 mile run. Spark people says I burned 1,020 calories. I don't believe that put a dent in anything. I was craving meat after my run, so when I got home I heated up one of the burgers and cooked 2 eggs. I was very satisfied and full until dinner time. We had friends over for dinner and my partner made pepper steaks on the grill, and I put together a spinach salad. I normally eat red meat about once or twice a month. This recent consumption makes me feel like I��ve gained 1,000 pounds in the last week - ick. It probably wouldn't have been bad if I had stopped there. But, I didn't. One of our friends brought over garlic bread. I had 3 pieces. I love bread. It's my weakness. Then, the boyfriend made margaritas. I had 2. Oh, and then there was the homemade whipped cream I made to put over the sliced fresh peaches. Yeah, I ate that too.
Part of the difficulty in all of this is that my boyfriend is on a low-carb kick. In his mind - he believes that means he can eat unlimited amounts of fat and protein and that carbs are the evil devil and the reason we gain weight. I've tried to explain that too much of anything = weight gain and that our bodies can only process a specific amount of fat and protein, and after that it's stored as FAT and POUNDAGE. He thinks I have no idea what I'm talking about. So, when he cooks - he is heavy on the butter, cream, milk, cheese, etc. And he gets mad when I purchase reduced fat cheese or egg replacers. When he makes a meal - he loads it with fat. And I've tried to ask him to go light on mine - but he says that if I don��t eat any carbs with it all I'll be fine.
So, he made breakfast Sunday. Cheese and bacon omelets. I asked for 2 eggs, light cheese, and one slice of bacon. I don't believe he obliged, but I did eat it anyway.
We had a late lunch of fruit, cheese, and wine while on a picnic, after a 30 minute hike.
For dinner, I had some more cheese and fruit - it put me over my calories.
Monday, I started off well - tried really hard to stick to the plan even though I wanted to veer EVERY moment.
We went to my mom's for a bbq. My downfall was the potato salad and dessert. I really should not have eaten as much potato salad as I did and I should have skipped dessert - or the extra latte I had in the afternoon. It put me over my calories YET AGAIN.
I haven't weighed myself in over a week and I'm terrified to step on to a scale - the wave of disappointment and shame is just waiting to wash over me.
So, here it is. Tuesday. I've had a large breakfast (all within calories), I have my lunch planned, and I have a light and healthy dinner planned. So far - I should come in under calories today (snacks have not been packed, and therefore not included in my allotment - but will add later). But, I am finding it VERY hard to stay on track. I want to cheat. I keep telling myself that a little leeway isn't going to hurt. But, it will! I'll gain all my weight back! I worked so hard to get it off! I cannot go back to that!
Why isn't the fear of gaining all the weight enough to push me towards my goal with open arms?
Why am I having such a hard time with food now? I keep telling myself I still have a "cheat day" to look forward to. It's not like I'm depriving myself FOREVER! It's just 6 days. I can make it 6 days. But it's SO hard. And I'm having such a difficult time focusing. I have a goal that is about 50 pounds away. I can see this goal - I want to achieve this goal. But, I feel like my mind has sort of given up and we��re just happy at this weight. I'm not! I think I can get thinner! I want to know what that feels like. Why can't my dueling mind/heart come to a compromise of some sort and allow me to focus on the goal? GOAL!!! I can do this. But I have got to stick to it. And I can't feel guilty about my last week of debauchery. Yes, I was "bad". But, I remained active - so it could have been A LOT worse. And yes, I enjoyed my food. So, I really shouldn't feel guilty. Life is about living it - lip ups and all, and that's alright. I'm going to have weeks where I fall off the wagon and all that means is that I just get back on.
I seem to be having trouble getting back on this time, though. I feel like I can't catch up to the wagon.
I know I'm supposed to be happy for others who are successful and are making progress in their weight loss journey, and I am. I know how much work and effort goes into this struggle.
But, I'm going to be honest.
I'm also really jealous.
I keep reading about all these people who have lost all this weight - quickly...and I feel pathetic. I read, moments ago, about someone who lost 33 pounds in 12 weeks. I read another spark page earlier today about a wonderfully successful sparker who lost over 60 pounds in less than 6 months. And then another who lost over 10 pounds in less than 3 weeks.
I've been on this journey exactly 77 days. I've lost 13.8 pounds. It has taken me over two and a half months to lose 13.8 pounds.
I am training for a half marathon, I consistently journal and keep track of everything that goes into my mouth.
I suppose that I could work out more - but that increases my calorie range, which seems counter-intuitive to me when I'm trying to focus on LOSING weight.
I don't know what else to do, but I'm feeling like giving up. Not giving up - I'm making progress, VERRRRRRRY slowly, but if I give up then I'll just move back, and I definitely don't want that! So, not giving up...but...I don't know.
I know spark is supposed to be inspiring and supposed to empower others, but I don't feel inspired and empowered. I feel pathetic. I feel jealous. I feel hopeless. I feel crappy.
Today is the first day of my 7 day juice fast.
I've got my recipes, and I'm excited to get started on this journey. I'm hoping that I'll be able to push myself and test the strength of my willpower. I am also looking forward to feeling clean and like I am starting with a blank slate. This is very much needed. The last couple of weeks have been pretty tough. I've had a lot of emotional turmoil and stress. It has truly tested my willpower to be able to stand in the face of all the negativity and try to stick to my calorie allotment. It has been very hard. Last week, I thought I did really well. Yes, I wanted to give in and say "screw it", but I didn't. I even went for an 8 mile run on Saturday. So, imagine my surprise when I weighed in this morning and I was only down .2 pounds. POINT TWO. Not two pounds. Not 2.2 pounds. Just 2/10 of a pound. Not even a whole pound! Of course I ran through my head and tried to determine everything I had done wrong - maybe I didn't calculate the calories correctly, maybe I didn't drink enough water, I shouldn't have eaten XXX, it probably had too much salt, etc.
Then I tried to tell myself that I can't change the past. I can only focus on today. And tomorrow. But, really, just today. That's all I feel I can handle right now. Just need to get through today. I had read a sparkpeople article about the Biggest Loser show and what you can learn from it. One of the things it mentioned is that sometimes, despite all that hard work, you end up gaining weight. We don't know why - it just happens. So, I tried to convince myself - at least it was not a gain. It was a small loss - but a loss, which is MUCH better than a gain.
This strengthened my resolve to be able to successfully complete this 7-day juice fast. I need to re-jumpstart my weight loss. I need something to make me feel better about myself b/c I'm feeling pretty crappy right now. A nice healthy (more than 1 pound) loss would be very much appreciated! And I can prove to myself that I can do anything I put my mind to. :)
So, today's menu includes a spinach, blueberry, lemon juice for breakfast and mid-morning snack. A mango, blackberry, almond milk smoothie for lunch. Plenty of green tea and water. A pineapple, mango, banana smoothie for mid-afternoon snack, followed by a spinach, kale, pineapple juice for dinner, and a glass of almond milk before bed. Plenty of nutrients, plenty of calories to keep me going, and plenty of liquid to ensure my kidneys are functioning at their full capacity.
So - here is to a week of strength!
I got back from a 4th of July camping trip today. Prior to the trip I was very nervous. What if I went off my plan? What if I over ate? What if I couldn't refrain from snacking, which is basically what we do all day while camping?
See, when I talk to people about camping, they all insist that I'll be working so hard and exercising so much that I shouldn't worry about my food consumption. The problem is that I am not doing the type of camping that most people think of when they think of camping: hiking through lush forest, carrying equipment on my back, going for morning and twilight hikes and walks, enjoying nature. I'm at the beach. On a campsite with friends. And all we do is drink and eat, and drink and eat some more. We have a full grill, stove, and want for nothing. The only moving we do is from the fire to the port-a-potty, and back.
So, I planned for the trip. I tried to plan out calories for dinners and breakfasts (which we do as a group, each taking turns to feed the hungry masses around the fire), and I planned my snacks - carrots, apples, the occasional red vine or handful of trail mix, and of course the occasional red bull and vodka. I planned out so meticulously that I had every day figured out, including water consumption. I was going to run on the beach on Saturday and Tuesday (my normal running days), and I was going to enjoy the sun and the fireworks the remainder of the time.
We left Saturday morning. I had my planned breakfast, and coffee. So far so good. Lunch - Subway, as planned. Excellent. Water consumption - perfect! Got there - passed on the yummy snacks being passed around.
I did not go on my run as planned - strike one. But, managed to stick to the plan, even through dinner which consisted of steak and chicken kabobs, potato salad, and chips. I had half an ounce of chips, one kabob, and half a cup of potato salad. And I skipped dessert. I ate an apple. :) YAY JENN!
Sunday - breakfast was eggs, bacon, and hash browns - all planned for. Lunch, I had my planned yogurt parfait (greek yogurt, blueberries, and special k cereal). I however did not plan on eating 30 pieces of peanut butter filled pretzels. Which I did. STRIKE TWO.
STRIKE THREE came when I decided to open a bag of sunflower seeds (my weakness) and eat the entire 5.25 oz bag of sunflower seeds, for dinner. Then I had a s'more bar. STRIKE FOUR. Oh geez.
I was able to stop myself from going any further only b/c it was fast approaching bed time.
Also I did not consume my required amount of water. STRIKE FIVE.
Monday - I decided today was going to be different. I woke up, had my coffee (planned for), and went out for my run. YAY FOR ME! I ran hard and tried to work off all my guilty pleasures.
I returned, had my water (some - not anywhere near my required amount), and breakfast (french toast and bacon - planned for. And even though I wanted seconds, I stuck with my serving that I had pre-calculated. YAY for JENN!
And then proceeded to continue down my path of shame - two red bulls and vodka. STRIKE SIX. Although, because of the run, I think I'm going to give myself a bonus strike, and remove that - so we're back to STRIKE FIVE.
I skipped lunch (full from alcohol and red vines - STRIKE SIX). For dinner I had smoked salmon (not planned, but good and yummy and heart healthy) and coleslaw. Not too bad. Then I had tater tots. STRIKE SEVEN.
Then, I proceeded to consume 2 hot chocolates with marshmallows that evening. STRIKE EIGHT.
Tuesday - I woke up, had my coffee, and went for another run. Didn't run as hard - was feeling sluggish and weak (no surprise given that I was dehydrated and had eaten nothing but crap). Tuesday is typically my "free day". See, the way I'm working my program - I give myself one "cheat" day where I am allowed to eat everything I had "forbidden" myself the week before. It's typically AFTER my weigh-in, and I am free to eat dessert, have that extra serving, and so on.
I reasoned in my head that I had not been "that bad" (I didn't have my computer, and was too embarrassed and in denial to attempt to calculate what I actually ate), and was allowed to have my "free day". After all, I was on vacation, and had said no to the extra servings, dessert, etc. So, I gave in. Tuesday became my free day. Not even going to say what I ate because I am embarrassed and mortified at my gluttony. Just going to leave it at - cobbler, chicken fried steak, and a croissant were involved. Oh, and 3 twinkies. And I will reveal no more. STRIKE NINE, TEN, etc....not even going to take one away for the Tuesday am run b/c I don't deserve it.
So, today is Wednesday. I woke up - had my coffee, said no to chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream, and packed up my car. I said goodbye to my friends, goodbye to my gluttony and headed home. I stopped at Subway for lunch (planned) and had a planned snack when I got home.
The entire ride home I kept telling myself I was not as bad as I thought I was. 3500 calories over and above what my body needs to function is equal to 1 pound, and I could NOT have eaten that much more over. Yes, I was "bad". Yes, I did over-eat. And yes, as I was eating the twinkie I was questioning whether it really was necessary. My inner-Jenn said yes and emphatically took a large bite, leaving outer-Jenn no recourse but to swallow and go with it.
I debated whether or not I would try to track everything I ate. Part of me said no - it would only punish myself for things I couldn't change. I should just accept that I was on vacation, I went off track, and now I am back on. The other part of me said I should - I needed to punish myself for my weakness...rub my nose in my proverbial mess...so that I would learn from my mistakes...there is no room for weakness or failure in this journey.
That is harsh. I am human. I am allowed to make "mistakes". I'm allowed to "fall off the wagon". If a friend were in a similar position, I would tell her to be gentle with herself. A) it could have been a lot worse and she could have used Saturday - Tuesday as her "free day"; B) this is a journey - not a race. There are ups and there are downs. If you fall down, you simply pick yourself back up, brush yourself off, and continue on your way; and C) Be gentle!!! It's vacation - life is about unpredictable events, weakness, and giving in. This will not be the LAST time something like this happens. I need to accept that in life, I will be strong and I will be weak. And sometimes my strength will overcome my weakness, and sometimes my weakness will rule as a result of missing strength.
I stuck to my exercise schedule. I have never, ever, in my entire life stuck to exercise while on vacation. And I went...TWO DAYS...in a row! And I'm running 5 miles tomorrow! So, let's focus on the positives - I stuck to something physical! What an accomplishment! YAY FOR JENN!!! And, if it weren't 5pm, and over 94 degrees, I would go for another run today. In fact, I may just go for one on Friday (unplanned!). :)
I'm not weighing in until Monday. I might be up. Or, I could be down. I'm hoping for down. But, if I'm not - I will get there. It's a journey...and I'm picking myself up. I'm hoping my fall did not do too much damage - but I will recover. And I will reach my goal.
Acceptance - it's all about acceptance. And I accept that this is a journey. And I am allowed to fall, and I'm allowed to get back up and continue on...strong...and human. Because I accept me. At least, I'm trying to.

Join the volunteers of your Milwaukee County Genealogical Society, with the support and cooperation of the Milwaukee County Public Library and
the fantastic librarians of the Frank P. Zeidler Humanities Room at the Central Library, and take a fresh look at your old habits by signing up for the MCGS Genealogy Classes.
With sessions held one Saturday each month from September through June, on the day after our General Membership meetings, taking the classes is a wonderful way to reinvigorate your research, to look at old habits with new eyes and possibly meet new cousins (which happens more often than you might think!). Many of us have taken the Beginner Classes more than once, and thereby gained more than a refresher, weve
gained new perspectives and new friends. And your insights may help someone else, newbie or veteran. We all learned from someone else, and such communal learning by sharing is the warm heart of genealogy.

What we do know is that both of them seem intent on hiding their ring fingers from the glare of the paparazzi. Perhaps to throw questioning gossips off their scent, Perego has opted to wear his hair in a crazy huge man bun. And I guess it worked: I don't even care about the rings — I just want to know what his hair looks like when it's down. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]

This is the section we missed John on. There was a streem that snaked up the hill and the road just cut through it. This made for a lot of small crossings. It was great fun. I laid in one to cool off.
Right after I changed my flat tire, I hit this tree and bent my handlebars pretty good; the worst part was I fell on my back and broke my unused bottle of deet which would have been nice to have. I borrowed some from John and Scott.

Emma Gad
|Emma Gad
|Emma Halkier
January 21, 1852
|January 8, 1921
(aged 68)
|Nicolas Urban Gad
|Peter Urban Gad, Henry Urban Gad
Emma Gad (January 21, 1852 - January 8, 1921), born Emma Halkier, was a Danish writer and socialite who wrote plays and books that were often satirical. Although she was a prolific writer, many of her works fell into obscurity after her death. One work that remained popular was Takt og Tone, a book of etiquette she wrote in old age.[1]
She received a gold Medal of Merit in 1905. Today her plays are preserved in Denmark's Royal Library.
Gad grew up in a relatively affluent home and received a good education for a woman at the time. She married Nicolas Urban Gad, a rear admiral, in 1872. They had two sons: Henry and Peter Urban Gad, who later became a filmmaker. She was a member of many trade unions and women's societies in Copenhagen,[2] and her home was an important meeting place for intellectuals in Denmark at the turn of the century.[1]
In 1886 she premiered as a dramatist at the Royal Danish Theatre's Ny Scene. In 1898 she co-founded the Women's Trade and Clerical Association, which was the first professional organization of women in the office.
Etiquette - About Dealing with People[edit]
Gad's book Etiquette - About Dealing with People (Danish: Takt og Tone - Om Omgang med Mennesker) was published in 1918. Her oft-repeated point is that when visitation is between considerate people then "etiquette" is not necessary. It is the indifferent, selfish, or directly ruthless people that create the need for a formal etiquette.
On Jan 21, 2013 google made a doodle for Emma Gad's 161th birthday, in honor of her book of etiquette.[3]

London area of E7 guide
What to do and where to stay in London's E7 neighbourhood
Forest Gate is not a London district that immediately springs to mind as one to visit, unless it sprouts some hotels and hang-out joints to cope with the overflow from Stratford in 2012. It's a residential area, which is quite literally the gate of Epping Forest, starting with the rural grasslands of Wanstead Flats to the north. The multicultural buzz of Green Street runs up from Upton Park with its profusion of South Asian and, to a lesser extent, Afro-Caribbean food and goods. The area is also home to West Ham Park, which offers a more horticultural experience to the wildness of Wanstead Flats.
