Sanders case postponed againComment on this story
North West - The trial of three men accused of murdering former heavyweight boxer Corrie Sanders was postponed in the Brits Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, police said.
Captain Amanda Funani said the three would remain in custody until their next court appearance on January 29, 2013.
"They will be applying for bail next week."
Samuel Mabena, 27, Chris Moyo, 25, and Paida Fish, 19, face charges of murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances.
The case was put off last month as the three accused told the court they needed to finalise legal representation.
Sanders was shot at the Thatch Haven Country Lodge outside Brits during an armed robbery on September 22.
He was attending the 21st birthday party of his nephew when three men stormed in and demanded that customers lie on the floor and hand over their valuables.
When they fled the scene, random shots were fired. Sanders was hit in the hand and abdomen.
He died of his wounds in Kalafong Hospital, Pretoria, the following day. - Sapa

Narayana is a place where both rich and poor Indians come to seek affordable medical care, something almost non-existent in a country of over a billion people.
As part of our continuing coverage of the facility, we have returned to India after two years.

I guess it's just the fact that I had this game in my childhood and it's even more interesting than it was.
It's not a game, more like a community. I completely agree, this place is awesome! I've only been here for a day, and I've met so many cool people. Even made a few friends! ^^
What made you want to be portraited as "Cherryblossom"? What does it mean to you?
I take that back. It is indeed a community. I'm from Japan, and Cherryblossoms are so beautiful, it represents my past since I reside in the US now. And "cha" just means tea. I love tea too xD I'm almost 2 days old c:
I've never seen a cherry blossom in person, but I shall one day. I've seen it in movies, and even read it being mentioned in novels.
Tea really is yummy, it's taste is so natural. Do you have any specific type of tea that you enjoy?
I really like Earl Grey or just green tea. How about you?
Green tea is just a favorite of mine. Ever had milk and sugar added to your boiling beverage? It modifies the taste so much, it's bizarre.
I wish to get some pure, high-quality tea leaves. I heard the natural aspect of it compliments the taste.
I also enjoy fruit and vegetable juices. What other drinks are you fond of?

2014 Salary Survey Yields A Mixed Bag
Annual survey shows salaries are up but job satisfaction remains unchanged
Page 2 of 3 « Prev 1 | 2 | 3 Next » View on one page
Despite any anxiety over job security, staffing levels show improvement. While almost half of respondents (45%) say staffing levels haven't changed in 12 months (up just 1% from 2013), nearly 30% note staffing levels are somewhat larger — a 2% rise over last year's results. Downsizing also decreased — only 21% report smaller staffing levels compared to nearly 24% in 2013.
Similar to last year's results, most respondents say they're happy with their job. Just under half (49%) report they're either extremely satisfied or happy in their role. Nearly as many, 41%, just call themselves content. Only 10% report being unsatisfied with their work (Figure 4).
"Compensation and benefits have been handed out using an eyedropper over the last three years. Add to this the downsizing that has reduced this site from 1,300 employees to about 500 in that same time and it is hard to be happy," lamented one survey taker.
What do readers like most about what they do? Just as in previous years, the challenge and stimulation of the job topped the charts (71%) (Figure 5).
"I accepted my current position, not for the compensation, but for the challenges and non-financial rewards," says one participant.
"If you want to be challenged and have different work every day of the week this is the industry for you," counsels another.
Rounding out the list of what they like best about their job: 54% said salary and benefits, and 48% enjoy working with their colleagues. The work environment (39%) and making products that help people (33%) also contributed to a positive perspective.
"It is a rewarding career because you get to see your projects/improvements from start to finish. It is a sense of accomplishment when your project has been commissioned, is operational and is a success," one survey taker comments.
"The pay and benefits are excellent; the work life balance is terrible."
Respondents still grumble about the long hours and lack of recognition; 39% note they'd prefer to be better recognized for their work (Figure 6). Nearly 81% work more than 40 hours a week (Figure 7), with 89% saying it's to get work done. Despite the lack of recognition, 19% say they put in the extra hours to advance their career.
When asked what advice they'd give someone looking to join the chemical engineering field, respondents most warned about the long hours.
"Chemical engineering is a satisfying career but not one that is well recognized nor properly rewarded," laments one.
"Make sure you know what you want to do with your career and be willing to put in the time and effort because you will work more than 40 hours per week if you want to advance," advises another.
"Prepare occasionally to sacrifice your work life balance during plant turnaround, equipment breakdown and project commissioning," warns a third.
27% of respondents also list the work environment as unsatisfactory. Salary and benefits, number three on the list last year, dropped to near the bottom of job dissatisfaction complaints, with only 24% listing it among their dislikes.
A greater number of older respondents chimed in this year, with the average age jumping from 48 in past surveys to 51. In fact, 62% are 50 and older — up from 53% last year. Exactly one quarter of all respondents are at, or nearing, retirement age. In contrast, only 4% are under 30.
Age impacts their job situation, griped some, noting their salaries were capped, and their years on the job restricted their ability to find work elsewhere. Here's what a few had to say:
"I have hit the ceiling for promotions and therefore my salary growth is very limited also. The only reason I am staying with the company is medical benefits and defined pension payments for retirement. The workload is becoming overwhelming and the expectations of corporate people who sit at a desk all day are unrealistic."

On behalf of the gays, we would really appreciate it if you could not lump this subhuman molestation-enabler in with us. Kthxbai
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. For some reason—I think because I have been kinda down lately (the winter with its lack of sunshine really gets to me)—I have been reading the comments on GLBT-related articles lately. All the homophobia and hatred has been getting me down. Why am I doing this to myself? And then I read your comment—and you redeem a great deal of my faith in the human race. Thank you. Gay kids are killing themselves because homophobic schmucks dominate the discourse Re: gay rights. The message that "If you are gay you are a perverted, evil sinner who will burn in hell forever" is consistently reinforced—from early childhood on. If you tell me that I am worthy of death enough times, I just might pull the trigger for you. It is time for us as decent people to stand together and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. You don't get to use your "Christian morals" (talk about an oxymoron) as an excuse to bully children into suicide. Shut your moronic mouths, you knuckle-dragging troglodytes. You are impeding our progress as a species.
OMG with every "nailed it" I laughed harder. Thanks for making me almost pee myself after the past three days of depression and misery. I had a big ol' sad. This post cleared it up somewhat.

Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, a veteran al-Qaeda leader, has said the suicide bomber who attacked the Danish embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, last month travelled from the Muslim holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.Yazid told Geo TV News in an exclusive interview aired on Monday that the bomber was a young man from the land "where the Prophet was born", the "land of Mecca".
The attack on June 2 killed six people, all of them Pakistanis.
Yazid claimed al-Qaeda's responsibility for the attack soon after the blast in a posting on a website.
It was unclear from what Yazid said, whether the embassy bomber was a Saudi, as many non-Saudis have settled in Mecca, or whether he had been recruited while visiting the city.
Yazid said the bomber had come to join a "jihad" in Indian Kashmir or Afghanistan, and became enraged by the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad in Danish newspapers in 2005.
The interview with Geo TV was said to have been conducted at an undisclosed location in Khost, Afghanistan, by Geo TV's reporter Najib Ahmad a few days ago.
This is the first independent media interview given by a well-known al-Qaeda member since May 2002, when two figures from the September 11 attacks, Khalid Sheik Mohammed and Ramzi bin al-Shibh, were questioned by Al Jazeera.
'Anti-Muslim credentials'
Replying to a question from Geo TV about Al-Qaeda's targets, Yazid said al-Qaeda had reached a point where they "see no difference between the [US] state and American people".
"The United States is a non-Muslim state bent on the destruction of Muslims. It is the American people who have voted George bush into power, knowing full well his anti-Muslim credentials," Geo TV quoted the al-Qaeda commander as saying.
"We have even destroyed US helicopters in Khost, Jalalabad and Helmand - reports of which have been carried by media worldwide. "The mujahideen are hopeful and high-spirited. They are now expanding their areas of operations and carrying out actions in northern provinces too," he said.
Yazid, an Egyptian, served time in prison with Ayman al-Zawahri, the deputy al-Qaeda leader, following arrests after the assassination of Anwar Sadat, the Egyptian president, in 1981.
He is now allegedly commander of operations in Afghanistan and has been referred to as al-Qaeda's third most senior figure.
'Financial manager'
Earlier, the September 11 Commission, investigating attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, described Yazid as the network's "chief financial manager".
During the interview, Yazid openly acknowledged al-Qaeda's responsibility for the September 11, attacks and berated the the government of Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's president, for subsequently "betraying" the Islamist cause by siding with the United States.
Yazid defended the tactic of using suicide attacks and was unapologetic about the fact that the attack on the embassy killed Pakistanis, including one security guard on the gate and two policemen.
But the Egyptian said that al-Qaeda was not to blame for any of the bomb attacks in Pakistan late last year that targeted mosques.
Yazid is also known as Sheikh Saeed.

Japan launches new, cheaper rocketSeptember 14, 2013 @ 2:56 am
TOKYO (AP) - Japan successfully launched a new rocket Saturday that it hopes will be a cheaper and more efficient way of sending satellites into space.
The three-stage Epsilon lifted off from a space center on Japan's southern main island of Kyushu, following a two-week postponement. An earlier launch last month was aborted 19 seconds before a planned liftoff due to a computer glitch.
About an hour after the liftoff, its payload _ the SPRINT-A, the first space telescope designed to observe other planets _ was successfully put into orbit, said Mari Harada, a spokeswoman at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA.
The liftoff was broadcast live on television networks, with footage showing a white, pencil-shaped rocket shot into the sky from the launch pad after spurting gray smoke and orange flash.
The agency declared it was a success.
"It was so thrilled that I was almost speechless," JAXA President Naoki Okumura told a televised news conference. "The challenge we had to face makes the excitement even greater."
The Epsilon is the first new rocket design for Japan since the H2A was introduced in 2001. The H2A remains Japan's primary rocket but officials hope the Epsilon will lead to improvements in the more costly H2A program. Japan hopes to be more competitive in the international rocket-launching business.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the success of a genuinely homemade rocket was a fruit of Japan's expertise and technology in space development.
"It demonstrates Japanese space technology is highly reliable," he said in a statement. He added that the success would lead to a self-sustainable space transportation system, further space utilization and to help Japan's economic growth.
JAXA said the Epsilon costs about 3.8 billion yen ($40 million), one-third the cost of the H2A. The rocket is about 24 meters (80 feet) tall, half the size of the H2A, and can be assembled and readied for launch in just one week, one-sixth of the time required for the H2A.
The Epsilon rocket, which uses a solid-fuel propellant, is meant to expand the scope of space missions Japan hopes to perform. It also streamlines the launch process.
JAXA says the rocket's extensive use of computer technology means monitoring work that once required a full-staff control room can be done essentially on a single laptop.

Right now, if you are a member of any church with which Rome desires restoration of full communion, they would rather you stay with that church. That includes the Orientals, the Eastern Orthodox and even the Anglicans.
I don't know if I would put Anglicans in that list. I know that e.g. Cardinal Kaspar said "We are not fishing in the Anglican pond", but even so I'm thinking that it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that Rome would prefer if Anglicans stay Anglican.
They should have just created an Anglican Church in communion with Rome rather than make them a subset of the Roman Catholic Church.
That would have been interesting. :)
One problem with doing that would be coming up with celibate former Anglican clergy to serve as bishops. So far the ordinaries of the Anglican ordinariates are all married priests. They were married bishops when they were Anglican, but Rome's not going to have married bishops any more than Orthodoxy is.
even less so: we have lots of bishops who have been married. The Vatican, not so much.

I want to improve myself about illustration and try my chance in children's book illustration jobs. However i have some questions.
1. I want to work traditionally. How do you make clients accept you to work with ? Do you first show skeches about the book to be published? What kind of sketches are they?
2. Or, when the client accepts you, what do you do ? I mean do you first make character designs and show them to the client. Are those sketches like scribbles or very clean linearts?
3. When you begin to make sketches to send to the client about the story(story boards etc), again do you loosely make some sketches and send to them. Also do you color them? After they are accepted do you transfer them or do you draw them again ? I dont want to transfer sketches or use lightbox. I know some illustrators who redraw the illustrations after sketches. But i don't get what they show to the clients before they begin to do the real work.
4. What kinds of watercolor paper do you use? The grain type and the surface ? I have fabriano wc pads -300 gr. When i want to draw on its textured surface it is hard to draw loosely or get smooth looking detailed drawings(which kind of drives me crazy). Should i use the back side of the paper?
5. I dont have an exact style yet ,however i dont want to restrict myself to only 1 style. I love simple drawings, semi realistic ones and more. How do you develop style. Do you sketch in different styles to create characters to show the clients?
All in all i want to learn the process of children book illustration from the illustrators who works with watercolors without transfering or using light box . If pictures can be provided , i would be very happy and appreciate it.
Thank you so much . (Sorry for grammar mistakes etc. English is not my main language)

There are many traditional techniques. Sometimes you work with the writer, but many times it's the publisher who chooses the artist. Your first task is to have a body of work that makes you somebody writers & publishers want to use. You need a decent portfolio/body of work demonstrating what you can do. I suggest choosing a few folk or fairy tales & illustrating them.
After that- the client will tell you what they want- yes...there's no way to avoid transferring images. You show them the idea you're leaning towards- they say yes or no. Beyond that- think in terms of the work being scanned- what type of paper you use is totally up to you & whatever technique you choose.
Developing a style takes time...and some artists have a few different styles-Arthur Rackham had a very realistic style, & another style that was similar but far more cartoony. Edmund Dulac had very realistic style, but his later work was quite different- very stylized, more like Indian miniature/Oriental painting. I particularly love the work of a Swedish illustrator- John Bauer. If you're looking for inspiration in traditional styles- Google (images) "The Golden Age of Illustration" (late 1800s-early 1900s).

1. Working traditionally? -- Certainly you can work traditionally as an illustrator for children's books. If you are unable to scan or photograph the final art for the book, you can hire a photographer and/or have the images scanned at a facility that provides those services. If you are working with a publisher, they might request that you mail them the final illustrations and then they will do the photos/scanning of the artwork for the book as everything printed has to be digitized at some point.
2 & 3. What is the process? -- That will depend on your client and the project. Ideally you read the manuscript first, start sketching characters and scenes, plan your layout and work with the editor/client to create a "dummy book" that includes a rough version of the illustrations and the text for each page for the client to review, get suggestions or art changes, etc.. You probably won't submit thumbnail drawings, those are mostly for yourself to help narrow down character and layout choices. Then you send your most promising, your best 3 options maybe for discussion...sometimes what you send will depend on how tight your deadline is. Here's a good example by a children's book illustrator, John Rocco and the art for "Wolf, Wolf" (scroll down):
4. What kinds of watercolor paper? -- Use whatever you prefer, it makes little difference as long as it fits your need and is consistent with the style your client selected for the project illustrations (if you have various styles).
5. Style, one or many? -- if you have a variety of styles, that can work for you and against you. Regardless, you want to be consistent, have the characters and scenes match from page to page if the client selects a preferred style for their project.
If you want to learn the process of children's book illustration for other illustrators, look to see if there's a SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) group in your area -- it's an international group. Also, there are various online resources that can tell you more about the standards that publishers expect. Here's another site that might get you started --
In any case, good luck and have fun!

Thank you for this great answer and the links. I will check them out asap. The thing worries me you said :
"Then you send your most promising, your best 3 options maybe for discussion"
Don they need to be done on wc paper? What if they ask for changes . And then i willnerase or redraw them right? So i will show them the promising drawings which are done on a regular paper first ? And if they are accepted i will redraw them on wc paper (if i dont transfer them)
*i havent watched the videos yet so i dont know if it is mentioned on that link you sent.

Usually the 4 stages are something like this:
- multiple thumbnails: this is your ideation stage. You're thinking very roughly, planning, sketches will be very, very rough; stick figures, maybe; and less than 5 inches square, generally speaking. Usually you only see this stage. From those thumbnails, you pick for each page, the ones (usually the top three for each illustration page) that you think are most successful and you'll use those to develop the next step. Black and white only.
- rough sketches to send (first round). These will still be rough, but better than stick figures. These rough sketches will be based on the top three choices you made from the thumbnails. --> Still black and white. This is a planning stage and communicates to the art director or client, what you're considering and how you would plan the illustrations, character designs for the book with the text.
- clean sketches (b/w), second round. After discussing previous art submission dummy book with art director/editor or client with maybe some initial color studies of how you plan to use color within the entire book (somewhat like how color scripts for animation storyboards are done ). None of this art would be considered final at this stage.
- Develop final art. The fourth level. This is where you are doing the final, color watercolors for your project. There should be no surprises at this stage for the client. They already have a very good idea of what the characters will look like, how each illustration will be for each page (or per 2-page spread). And a general idea of what colors you will be working with for each illustration.
That's why a traditional illustrator may take up to two years to do a picture book for kids (juggling a few other projects at the same time) when you factor in the above steps and the time it takes for approvals and discussion of a 32-page picture book. Artist P.J. Lynch paints traditionally and that's about how long he's explained it takes for a book project:
Hope that helps!

I think the process is different depending on your client. I've done over a dozen children's book projects, but mine have all been with self-published books, either contracting through the author directly or working with a self-publishing company.
When I work with the self-publishing company, they send me the manuscript and a series of illustration descriptions from the author. I do preliminary sketches of each illustration, scan them and send them in. Then the art director sends those sketches to the author, who either approves them or asks for revisions. Then I do the revisions, send them back, etc. Once the drawings are fully approved, I go ahead and ink the drawings. The company I work with does the colors for the illustrations with in-house staff, so the inks are the final step for me.
Sometimes, however, I do the full children's book, color included. In that case the process is similar-- I send my drawings to the author or client at each stage (sketch, revisions, inks, final colors) and get their input.
If you work for a professional publisher, however, things will likely be different. You'll work with an art director, and in that case the author probably will get no input at all. You'll talk with the art director about character design and color schemes, and probably do a storyboard layout of the whole book before you do individual sketches. Then you'll have probably several rounds of revisions, and then the art director may ask for color studies or color sketches of each piece before you do final art. It depends on how familiar the art director is with your work and what their process is.
I do most of my children's book work digitally, just because it's more convenient than scanning things in every time a change needs to be made. If you want to work traditionally throughout, I think the best route would be to do your sketches and revisions on normal paper, and then once the images are approved, transfer that image to your watercolor paper, either with a lightbox or a projector or something else. But you don't want to have to keep erasing on watercolor paper, as it will smudge and your pencils will probably show through in the final art. Generally you want your watercolor paper as clean as possible before you start, and that means using a lightbox. Sorry. If you can find a better method, by all means do what works for you.
As far as paper goes. You might want to use "hot press" paper instead of "cold press." Hot press paper is much smoother and is easier to draw on. There's no difference in quality, it's just a personal preference.
Don't worry about style too much, style will develop over time as you progress in your art. You may develop multiple styles. It just depends on how you work. You might do different variations on a character when determining what style a book project will be in, or the art director might say "I like the look of X painting you did, can we do the book in that style?" You won't know until you get involved in the project.
Hope that helped.

Thank you so much for this very informative answer. About the inking part, do you ink over the initial sketches ? Or did i understand it wrong because ypu said you work digitaly.
Yes i want to work traditionaly. I had asked an illustrator if she transfer the sketches and she said she did not like transfering but i did not ask how she gets the final illustrations :/ without a light box, can not i illustrate a book? I can't afford one . What is more i dont have any space to put it in my house.

Alexander Heimburger
|Alexander Heimburger
|December 4, 1818
|July 25, 1909 (age 90)
Alexander Heimburger (1818-1909) was born Johann Friedrich Alexander in Germany and billed himself as "Alexander the Conjurer".
He began his performing career as a magician early in life and as an exhibitor of Phantasmagoria, but was relatively unsuccessful until he came to North America in the 1840s. He had great success and even performed for President Polk in the White House.
Alexander had a trick called, "The Spirit Bell", a large glass bell, on top of a fancy looking case, which he could set anywhere, and it would ring at command.
His daughter assisted him in the presentation of a second sight act. Upon her death during the tour, Heimburger returned to Germany. Having made a considerable fortune he retired in his late 20s and spent the remaining 50 some years of his life in relative seclusion.
He was long figured dead by the fraternity of magic, until Harry Houdini, during one of his tour, found his whereabouts.[1]
- His memoir was called "The Modern Magician".

John Slaughter, a 13-year veteran of the National Park Service and supervisor of two U.S. parks in South Carolina, has been named supervisor of a newly formed federal park group that includes Kings Mountain National Military Park southwest of Charlotte.
In the new position, which was announced earlier this summer, Slaughter also will supervise Cowpens National Battlefield, Ninety Six National Historic Site and the Overmountain Victory National Historical Trail. Most recently, he had been superintendent of the Cowpens and Ninety Six facilities.
Slaughter left a career as an engineer to work in the National Park Service. He worked at the Joshua Tree National Park in California before becoming superintendent of the two South Carolina parks in 2011.
"These four National Park sites play a significant role in preserving and making relevant the history of a fledgling nation, especially that of American Revolutionary War battles in the Southern states," Slaughter said.
Kings Mountain National Military Park is in Cherokee County, S.C., along the state line south of Kings Mountain and Shelby. It is the site of a decisive battle in autumn 1780, when a group of American patriots defeated a force of American Loyalists commanded by a Scottish officer.
The battle forced British General Lord Cornwallis to retreat, eroded Loyalist support in the western Carolinas, and allowed American forces to regroup in advance of their decisive victory in early 1781 at Cowpens, S.C.
Slaughter and his wife, Shannon, an elementary school teacher, live in the Spartanburg area with their three daughters.

ketostix reading - false positive?
I've heard several people mention that they don't rely on ketostix because they can give a false negative; showing no color when the person actually is in ketosis.
Is it possible for the opposite to happen, where it's showing as pink when the person really is not in ketosis? I ask because my stix have continuously pink for many days, but I'm not seeing any weight loss. Is it possible for the body to be in ketosis, but not actually losing any fat?
It's rare to hear of a false positive, more likely that you're in ketosis. Yes, it's possible to be in ketosis, but not lose any weight. That happens when you're eating too many calories.
But it's more likely that you're losing fat but retaining water, and the scale will show a loss eventually. Have you read this thread: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/ma...cale-lies.html ? The scale isn't always the best indicator of progress, because so many variables influence scale weight, and weight loss isn't a linear process.
I suggest you measure yourself at several key points as well, as you may lose inches as the scale stays the same.
Now, if you would like to share what you're eating we can also try to help you figure out if you're eating too many calories for your body's needs.
Thanks Ntombi, that's good information. I'm pretty sure you're right, that it's too many calories. I haven't been measuring, but my clothes are not feeling any looser. My eating has been all over the place for the last week --always within legal carb limits, always still with pink stix...but probably still causing weight loss to slow to a crawl nevertheless.
I usually eat like so:
B: 3 eggs with bacon or ham
S: Coffee with hnh
L: chicken salad with greens
S: devilled eggs, pepperoni, cheese or cucumbers with some type of legal dip
D: hamburgers or steak
But I have been eating way more than that this past week for various reasons.
ketostix are pretty finicky. they can be too dark if you don't drink enough water, too light if you drink a lot of water. some people never produce enough of the urine ketones to register on the stick, while their blood ketones read high enough to suggest ketosis.
plus, ketones in your urine are what you're "getting rid of" so they aren't the right kind of ketones to hope you're making. the most common ketone that is useful to you is beta-hydroxybutyrate and that can only be measured via blood.
the blood meter isn't so expensive, but the strips definitely are. so ideally you would not worry about measuring & just keep your macros in line. weight or inches should be coming off, and you should feel fine or better than fine, if you're on the right track...but if you do need a numeric reassurance, i'd go for the meter.
I often show dark purple ( even while drinking plenty of water) and still don't appear to be losing until that water whoosh that Ntombi mentioned occurs. I'll hold steady for a bit and then have a day where I release the water and then see the loss the next day.
about the woosh: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/ma...s-can-lie.html
Thank you thank you for the good information! I do like the reassurance of having something to check on throughout the day. it's become a habit now, and it gives me something to focus on somehow. I really hadn't considered getting a blood meter before...will check into it.
would be nice if it is water - I hope so!
You aren't getting a false positive - more like partial information.
The ketostix show purple when you are burning fat.
What we don't know is if you are burning body fat or dietary fat.
If you're taking in enough dietary fat, you don't need to burn any body fat. It's just as easy for the body to burn the fatty acids you just ate.
I hate ketone strips!!!
Urine ketones are unreliable. The gold standard is blood ketones, and you can test those with a free meter from Nova medical. It tests for blood glucose and blood ketones. Go to their website, or search on "Nova Max Plus." I think they are probably still offering it. The downside is that ketone strips are very pricey - about $2 or so apiece from the places I've been able to find.
A secondary issue is that even when I was eating extremely low carb, my readings were never higher than 0.3 to 0.5. This wasn't in the initial stages, so it's possible that (from what I've read) once you've ketoadapted, your readings will fall back into the "normal" range. I hope that's the case. Meanwhile, I still check occasionally, and it never hurts to know your glucose readings, even if you're not diabetic (which I'm not).
At least check out the offer.

The most offbeat item I've seen so far in the latest batch of campaign finance reports is this: A $109.99 payment to Ace Septic Tank Service in Sagle, filed under the category for campaign event-related expenses. Rep. Eric Anderson, R-Priest Lake, laughed when I asked him about the entry in his report. "Maybe I'm the first one to ever have to rent a Porta-Potty for my campaign," he said. "Does that say anything about me? Probably nothing good."
The event in question was Gov. Butch Otter's "Capitol for a Day" at Nordman last month, which was held outside the Priest Lake Lodge on the shores of Priest Lake. "We had 350 people there, and there's no way that Nordman's sewer would've probably handled that at one time. You've only got one facility for men and one for women," Anderson said. His campaign was among the event's sponsors; in addition to renting two portable toilets, he bought 300 pounds of beef for the barbecue and purchased hundreds of dollars worth of potato salad, beans and fixings. Others helped out, too, doing the cooking and serving; the Lion's Club set up the tents. "All the resorts pitched in - they all brought tables and chairs," Anderson said. The crowd included "pretty much everybody from the lake, on a Wednesday in September."
Asked if it was his biggest campaign event of the year, Anderson said, "By far - it was by far the biggest campaign event for my whole life. And the funnest I've ever had." Otter's "Capitol for a Day" events allow folks in small towns to ask questions of the governor and top state agency officials; Lt. Gov. Brad Little and state schools Superintendent Tom Luna were among those attending. "There wasn't a question left unasked," Anderson said.
The hottest topic of the day: Salt on the roads. "People have been noticing their cars are getting rusty now the last two or three years much more than they ever have in the past," Anderson said. "That was a big topic." Other hot topics included state-owned cabin sites; caribou habitat; wolves; Fish and Game; kokanee recovery; and the school reform referenda measures. Said Anderson, "It was just so great for everybody to be out and about. It was a really nice day."
The Northwest Power and Conservation Council, which is meeting in Boise today, is calling for a $2 million federal investment in blocking invasive quagga and zebra mussels from leaving Lake Mead - pictured here - on infested boats and traveling to the still-uninfested waters of the Northwest, including Idaho. The four-state group, which also includes Montana, Oregon and Washington, wants the federal aid to add watercraft inspection and decontamination stations to intercept boats carrying the rapidly multiplying, thumbnail-sized mollusks that could wreak havoc on Columbia River hydroelectric dams, farmers' irrigation systems and lakes prized for recreation, the AP reports. Click below for a full report from AP reporter John Miller.
The council's two-day meeting in Boise continues today at the Hampton Inn downtown; today's meeting, which runs through the morning, includes discussion of wind power integration, transmission, progress on collaborative efforts to protect salmon in the Lemhi River watershed, and activities by the Columbia Basin Trust.
North Idaho Rep. Eric Anderson's nightmare involves invasive quagga and zebra mussels slipping into Idaho's waterways and altering the very nature of the state. "It scares me, it really does scare me," said Anderson, R-Priest Lake. He was a featured speaker Tuesday at the Idaho Environmental Forum, a periodic forum on environmental issues facing the state, and he had a chilling warning: Only five states - Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming and Montana - have yet to be invaded by the tiny, fast-reproducing shellfish that chokes out native species and encrusts everything that touches the infested water. And more and more mussel-infested boats are being intercepted on the way to Idaho, with the vast majority coming from the Lake Mead area.
Two more fouled boats were caught on I-90 in North Idaho on Friday, for a total of 41 so far this year - and the summer boating season is just beginning. If mussels show up in "any waterway in the Northwest here, it's going to eventually end up in the Columbia and out to the ocean," Anderson said. "We're going to lose this whole system." You can read my full story here at spokesman.com.
A North Idaho political activist and backer of embattled Rep. Phil Hart is trying to file a House ethics complaint against Rep. Eric Anderson, R-Priest Lake - though only House members can file such complaints. Anderson filed an ethics complaint against Hart last month, charging that the Athol Republican has violated his oath of office by refusing to pay state and federal income taxes and contending they're unconstitutional; by invoking legislative privilege to try to win delays in his tax cases; and by illegally logging state school endowment land to build a log home and then refusing to pay a still-outstanding judgment for the 1996 timber theft.
Activist Larry Spencer, in a five-page letter to House Speaker Lawerence Denney dated Dec. 20, claims Anderson has a conflict of interest because he's a contractor and voted for contractor licensing legislation that Spencer opposes; and because he worked on a state milfoil eradication program and lives on Priest Lake, which is among the lakes where milfoil is now being eradicated.
Anderson said, "I did know that he was out sniffing around trying to find any dirt that he can on me." He added, "I don't know if there's anything I can think about what Larry Spencer does. I have a hard enough time keeping my sanity without letting him into my head." You can read my full story here at spokesman.com.
After today's House Ethics Committee deliberations, Rep. Phil Hart, R-Athol, said, "Well, I still think they're looking for their allegation that shows that there is bona fide violation of Rule 76. … They're still empty-handed."
Asked what he hopes happens next, Hart said, "I'm hoping that I can get on with the legislation that I want to run in 2011," including a new version of his "sound money" bill and others. The new bill will be "a similar concept" to Hart's silver medallion bill from this year, he said, "although I don't have anything finalized yet. There will be some changes from last year's bill."
Starr Kelso, attorney for embattled Rep. Phil Hart, said after today's House Ethics Committee meeting, "What I can say is that the legislative process is a fluid and complex process where politics and due process meet. And so, I guess it was reasonable that they asked Deputy Attorney General Brian Kane to put his thoughts in writing. He seemed to me that he had expressed his thoughts verbally, but to require that they be in writing, that's certainly the prerogative of the committee. So I wasn't disappointed. They do what they do."
Rep. Phil Hart, R-Athol, says his conversation with Rep. Eric Anderson, R-Priest Lake, at the Legislature's organizational session wasn't confrontational. "I did approach him and I did say, 'Eric, if you need to get together or if you see a need for us to get together and talk, I want you to know that I'm open to doing that and available,'" Hart told Eye on Boise. "And that was the first thing I said to him." He said, "We talked for a little while. I do remember that that's the way I initiated the conversation. It was not confrontational and it didn't go on for too long. I did not tell him he's being watched."
Hart added, "I did tell him that I felt that in these types of situations, it should've started with a one-on-one conversation between he and I, I do remember telling him that. … That's what I thought the starting point should have been," as opposed to an ethics complaint. Anderson filed an ethics complaint against Hart; the House Ethics Committee voted 6-1 today to investigate it further and convene again in January.
House Speaker Lawerence Denney said today that Rep. Eric Anderson's removal as vice-chairman of the House State Affairs Committee - shortly after Anderson had filed an ethics complaint against Rep. Phil Hart - was merely an oversight, but also said he'd warned Anderson of "fallout" if he filed the ethics complaint. As for the vice-chairmanship, Denney said, "What's done is done, and we'll continue for two years as it is." He said, "When you get those names and everything out there, things change and sometimes we miss things. … Sometimes people who should get something don't. It's not that we're punishing anybody, it's that sometimes we miss it."
Denney said, "No one was punished, even those who ran for leadership; we didn't punish anyone." Rep. Bob Nonini, who unsuccessfully challenged House Majority Caucus Chairman Ken Roberts, kept his chairmanship of the House Education Committee. But Rep. Cliff Bayer, R-Boise, who unsuccessfully challenged House Majority Leader Mike Moyle, lost his JFAC seat; Bayer said it was his choice to move to the Rev & Tax committee.
Anderson didn't run for leadership, though he was rumored to be a candidate in the weeks before party leadership elections were held. But after he filed the ethics complaint, he lost his committee vice-chairmanship and also was denied his request for a third committee assignment, a seat on the judiciary committee. Anderson, R-Priest Lake, is a fourth-term representative; the vice chairmanship went to third-term Rep. Brent Crane, R-Nampa.
"You know, I don't have a problem with him filing the ethics complaint," Denney said. "When he came and asked me about it, I suggested that he have somebody else do it, because there could be fallout. You know, there are people in our caucus who fully support Phil Hart and there are people in our caucus who do not. So, you know, for one of our members to do that, I think it could be tough."
Denney said, "I think Phil has every right to pursue all of his legal avenues. … In Phil's case, we were very careful - I didn't want to show that we were rewarding him, and I didn't want to show that we were punishing him." Hart, who at the recommendation of the House Ethics Committee was removed from the House Rev & Tax Committee, was simply reduced to two committee assignments instead of three; he saw no other changes. "That was his choice," Denney said. Hart retained his vice-chairmanship of the House Transportation Committee.
Denney said he's not concerned about Anderson's report that Hart confronted him over the ethics complaint at the entrance to the House chambers during the Dec. 2 organizational session, and told him he was being watched. Denney said with a chuckle, "Well, you know, I think people are watching all of us." He added of the confrontation, "You know, I think it would be hard not to do when they're together."
Here's a link to my full story at spokesman.com on today's House Ethics Committee meeting on Rep. Phil Hart, in which the panel voted 6-1 to launch a full investigation into the latest ethics complaint against Hart and reconvene in January, rather than dismiss the complaint today.
The motion passed 6-1, with just the chairman, Rep. Tom Loertscher, voting against it. "You know, as legislators we all have something in our past," said Loertscher, R-Iona. He said he doesn't feel that the "constitutional rights to exhaust our remedies ends the day we take office, or the day we run for office." He added, "As it pertains to the timber sales, this certainly happened before his involvement in the Legislature, and I would hate to have an ethics investigation into my own personal background prior to my being a legislator. I'm not here to tell you that there's anything you would find, but there might be something that someone would have a perception about." With the motion approved, the Ethics Committee will convene again once the legislative session begins, at the call of the chair.
"We have before us a copy of the minutes of our last meeting," Rep. Tom Loertscher said as the ethics committee came back into session. "On page 6, on the last page, Rep. Raybould moved that the committee dismiss the complaint of misuse of constitutional immunity by Rep. Hart, Rep. Wills seconded the motion, that motion passed 5 ayes and 2 nays. So we have dealt with this issue and brought it to a conclusion at that point in time."
Rep. Bert Stevenson then made a motion to direct the committee's staff and Deputy Attorney General Brian Kane to do "further investigation into these issues" and how they affect the "status of the Legislature and reflection on the Legislature." He said, "I would move that we continue this hearing to a further date and instruct Mr. Kane to do that investigation that would be necessary, to the issue of the timber sales as well as other issues that Mr. Kane might feel appropriate to bring forth." Rep. Rich Wills, R-Glenns Ferry, asked to include in the motion asking Kane to prepare an Attorney General's opinion on the foundation of the claims in the ethics complaint. Rep. Wendy Jaquet, D-Ketchum, asked to also include a review by the Attorney General's office of the House ethics rules, and whether items not specifically delineated in the complaint can be examined by the ethics committee.
During the Ethics Committee's break, over the speaker system is coming a muffled conversation by Rep. Phil Hart, talking at his lawyer's office, and strains of music.
Rep. Eric Anderson said children have asked him how the courts could repeatedly say Hart was wrong, but he could continue to say he's right. Rep. Tom Loertscher, Ethics committee chairman, asked Anderson, "Is Rep. Hart denied the opportunity to challenge … in any court … the same as any other citizen would have - does he have that right or did he give that up as a representative?" Anderson responded, "I've never implied that he does not have that right. It's not in my complaint." Loertscher said, "The only way that he could be in violation of these ethics rules is if he used his office to escape these responsibilities. … If there's evidence of that, I think that we should proceed." But Loertscher said he thought the ethics committee already had resolved that there was no such evidence with regard to the tax issues.
Rep. Bill Killen, D-Boise, took issue with that. Earlier, the panel refrained from dealing with Hart's legislative privilege claim in his state income tax appeal because the appeal was pending, Killen said, but that's since been decided, both by the state Board of Tax Appeals and the District Court. Both ruled against Hart. Killen said it's time for the ethics panel to look at that issue. Loertscher disagreed, and said the committee decided "that he hadn't abused that." He said, "That's what we decided at our final meeting." Now, the panel has taken a brief break to review its minutes.
Rep. Eric Anderson, R-Priest Lake, told the House Ethics Committee, "It could be an array of things that cause ethics issues to rise up. … I don't know why we have an oath if it's not going to be enforced." He said he believes Hart has violated his oath of office. "I take that very serious when I raise my hand to swear on upholding the constitution of both the state and the federal government, I think that we all should and most of us do. But it is a reflection when we are doing things that are inappropriate, we have … diminished that oath. When one person, one part diminishes it, I think it's diminished for all."
Anderson noted that Hart has gone through numerous court proceedings on his claims, all unsuccessful. "There have not been any of these proceedings that have been favorable in terms of Rep. Hart, but yet he still continually as a legislator says that he's done no wrong," he said.
Rep. Tom Loertscher, R-Iona, said after reviewing Rep. Eric Anderson's complaint, there was no mention in it of the silver issue. Therefore, he said, he apologized to the committee and it shouldn't even be discussing it. Rep. Wendy Jaquet, D-Ketchum, asked if under state laws and House rules, "If it's not listed in the complaint, that we can't talk about it?" In response, Loertscher asked Legislative Services Director Jeff Youtz to read the ethics committee rules. He did so. They make no specific mention of that question.
Loertscher said if items not specifically mentioned in the complaint can be brought up, "Then we could probably open this up to almost any action of any legislator at any time - do we really want to go there?" Jaquet asked Rep. Eric Anderson, R-Priest Lake, to comment; he's doing so now. "The intent there was to show that there is a pattern of behavior," Anderson told the panel.
A half-dozen Hart supporters in the audience, who are wearing white paper cut-out hearts in support of Phil Hart, are grumbling loudly, "This is a circus" and other complaints about the Ethics Committee proceedings.
Rep. Dell Raybould, R-Rexburg, said if the Ethics Committee is going to proceed further "on this silver coin issue," it needs a lot more information about the organization, the bill Hart introduced in 2010, and more. He said he didn't think that was what the panel was gathered for today. Said Rep. Tom Loertscher, R-Iona, "I think we did resolve that issue already as to whether or not he was in violation of House Rule 38 in not disclosing to the body that he had some affiliation, because as he stated here today, he didn't have that affiliation."
Rep. Wendy Jaquet, D-Ketchum, responded, "He did take an oath to uphold the laws of the state and the constitution of the United States and the state." She said Hart's involvement in the alternative currency movement suggested his bill might have been related to that, not just to promoting an Idaho commodity. "Should that bill have even been brought?" she asked. "There is some additional information that is murky."
After Rep. Bill Killen, D-Boise, pressed repeatedly, attorney Starr Kelso finally conferred with his client, Rep. Phil Hart, and said Hart was not involved with the NORFED Liberty Dollars organization after 2006 or 2007. When he introduced legislation in 2010 regarding silver medallions as currency, Hart "had had no involvement with those folks at that time," Kelso said.
Rep. Wendy Jaquet, D-Ketchum, asked whether Hart had proper permits to sell NORFED or Liberty Dollars. Starr Kelso responded, "That issue, to the extent it was raised, was discussed in the original hearing." He said the question of whether Hart paid sales taxes on the Liberty Dollars he sold is "just an incredible fishing expedition - what does that have to do with anything?" he asked. The Liberty Dollars were an alternate currency minted from silver that were promoted as legal tender; an FBI raid put a stop to the operation in 2007, which was deemed illegal. Kelso said Hart was no longer involved with the group when he introduced a silver currency bill in 2010.
"What I'm trying to figure out is the role that Rep. Hart played in that organization in 2007, and why he chose to bring legislation in 2010," Jaquet said. "We talked about whether he had a personal benefit. You said that he did not have any share in that company any longer. I'm confused about the role that he played … I did not know that he was a 'regional currency officer' (for the group), and if he was still a regional currency officer when he brought that legislation."
Rep. Bill Killen, D-Boise, said he wanted to hear from Hart himself on that question, but Hart isn't answering any questions, leaving that to Kelso.
After Rep. Wendy Jaquet, D-Ketchum, said of the timber issue, "I believe that there's some merit there, that we should look into this further," Ethics Committee Chair Tom Loertscher R-Iona, said, "The thing we should consider is if Rep. Hart used his office as a means of not paying that obligation. That would be a violation of the ethics rules of the House." If not, he said, that would "not seem to be a topic that is appropriate for an ethics hearing. … If he's used his office to say, 'You can't touch me because I'm a legislator' … I don't believe that anything in the record indicates that that's the case."
Jaquet said she wondered whether the reason that the state Department of Lands dropped the ball on collecting its judgment against Hart was because he was a legislator. She said the panel should at least look into that question.

If the spouse or unmarried child is not included in the asylum application or is outside the United States at the time the application is approved, the applicant may request that such dependents receive derivative asylum status.
