This is a great value for the money. Sturdy, roomy, beautiful but a pain to put together by myself. Please note, the first piece you put together is the back then you're supposed to attach it to the base while on its side. It fell apart when I did that, oy vey! So I loosely screwed the legs to the base then put the back piece together. It was much easier that way. It took me 3 hours to finish everything. That said, I can't imagine my kitchen without it.
Looks perfect in our kitchen like it has always been there. It also adds a good amount of storage. Bar top came with a nick on the edge and after one email to the manufacturer I had a whole new top in a few days. Great product, even better customer service
Love it! Best purchase I' ve made in a long time made my kitchen soooo much better.
This is a wonderful addition to my kitchen. I had a table that was too big and always in the way and this is just right. Extra storage and it's beautiful. I'm older so I had to have help, but my helpers also said how easy it was to put together and how great the end result was. This is a very nice, heavy, well built piece of furniture.. Price was great too.
Very heavy piece of furniture. It is not stationary nor on wheels. Very heavy to move but that is what I wanted. My daughter and my friend assembled it. It was a little complicated to put together but if followed directions to the tee it is a very beautiful island. Just love it.
The only reason why I did not give 5 stars is due to a malfunction in the magnet that keeps the cabinet doors closed. I contacted customer service and they happily put in an order for the bad part. The island came in 3 large boxes with a timely delivery. Assembly definitely took two people and was pretty easy largely due to the top of the island down to the drawers preassembled. Basically you only have to assemble the bottom half. The shelves on the outside are pretty shallow and flimsy...more for decorative items, nothing heavy or breakable. The wooden top is of good quality, better than I expected and probably the only reason the island costs as much as it does. The rest of the island is prefab cheap stuff. The height is taller than countertop and would need bar stools. For the price, this is a great island. Not sure if you are going to end up with any better for the next price level up. I shopped for months and finally went with this one once it went on sale.

Seattle Chocolates Devil's Delight Bar
It's fun to see all the kids candy for Halloween, but sometimes adults want something a little special too. Enter Seattle Chocolates Devil's Delight Dark Chocolate Truffle Bar with Peanut Butter & Pretzels. It's described as Salted pretzel pieces and creamy peanut butter in dark chocolate that uses Rainforest Alliance Certified™ cocoa. A devilishly delicious combination!. That definitely sounds right up my alley.
It's nice to see a seasonal bar using ethically sourced cacao, and in this case, it's no more expensive than other similar bar on store shelves.
Don't be disappointed if it's not your cup of tea, there are two others: Bloody Orange Truffle Bar and Dead Sea Salt Truffle Bar.
The bar is compact and uses the same mold as all the other Seattle Chocolates bars I've tried. At 2.5 ounces, it's a bit too much to eat in one sitting and not quite enough for two portions. Basically, it's perfect for the stingy sharer ... give one section to another person, eat the rest yourself.
The pieces are thick sections that hold the truffle filling.
The bar smells pleasantly nutty with a woodsy chocolate component. The dark chocolate is bittersweet and has a nice, silky melt. The filling is a little odd. It's very peanutty, which I enjoyed and had some good salty pops. But the pretzel pieces seemed stale, as can happen when mixing with inclusions. I liked the peanut butter part, very smooth and nutty and offset well by the dark chocolate. I think they mix the peanut butter in with white chocolate, which is genius. Overall, I liked it, though I didn't finish it in one sitting. One of the things I've seen that solves the stale pretzel problem is to give them a quick dip in chocolate before mixing them in.
This bar was sent to me as a sample from Seattle Chocolates, but I did see them for sale at Cost Plus World Market.

Eat with your Eyes: Fruity Gumballs
I'm always attracted to these beautifully crafted gumballs at the mall in the vending machines. I finally broke down and bought some, just because they're so pretty. I'm not going to review them because, well, they weren't good enough to even warrant 300 words.

Necco Skybar Zombie Food
Necco is an odd company that makes antiquated candies and buys up old candy brands. While the nostalgia is comforting, it's a little odd when they try to be hip, like when they update their conversation heart mottoes, or came out with a line of Twilight themed candies.
However, for a couple of years they've been trying to do more novelty and seasonal candies, many of which I've appreciated. They have quite a few zombie themed items and for the first time I was able to find the Necco Skybar Zombie Food. They're priced well at Cost Plus World Market at 59 cents each, though they were $1.50 across the parking lot at Dylan's Candy Bar.
I bought two of these, hoping for two different shapes, but ended up with two hearts. The first one I opened was cracked and oozing and sticky. Though that's probably acceptable to a zombie, I wanted to photograph and eat something a bit more pristine. Luckily #2 was in great shape.
The pieces are exactly one ounce, so it's a little less than a regular portion and two might be too much.
It's a striking looking candy. The chocolate mold is well made with an anatomically accurate human heart. My unbroken one looked great, though the packaging does little to protect the candy from getting cracked.
It smelled nice, pleasantly milky and sweet. The chocolate is passable, a little on the grainy side and sweet. The caramel filling is grainy but also not terribly sweet, there's a cereal flavor to it, not quite a toasted sugar caramel. It's nicely balanced. Of course the red food coloring left a weird, metallic aftertaste for me, but your mileage may vary.
The whole thing lacks anything else though. For 59 cents it's passable, but only as a novelty item. If you're looking for a drug store caramel, opt for the Milky Way Simply Caramel for better chocolate and caramel (though I still wasn't wild about them either). But if you're a fan of Cadbury Caramel Eggs, these might be a nice Halloween option. I'd like to say that they'd be great for Halloween trick-or-treat, but I fear that being thrown into a bag with a bunch of other candy is just too rigorous for them, if half of mine were cracked just from the store.

Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Cranberry
At first I wasn't sure what these were. The back of the package says real dried cranberries! covered in rich Ghirardelli chocolate!. But the front says that it's infused with raspberry juice and a touch of freeze-dried cherries.. A quick peek at the ingredients doesn't show anything else, except that the cranberries have some sunflower oil in them (makes them more pliable). At first I thought they were like the Brookside fruit things, a little jelly center with some dried cranberries thrown in, but instead they're actually dried cranberries with some other fruits thrown in.
The Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Cranberry are packaged like the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Cashews I also picked up at the same time, expect this package is pink instead of light blue. The stand up gusset bag reseals after opening with a zip lock, which is common in these morselized treats these days.
The ingredients and other packaging don't say how dark the chocolate is, they call it semi-sweet and it has dairy fats in it. I'd guess somewhere around 55-60% cacao.
They smell very fruity, like cooking jam or a baking pie. It's alluring ... and they are darling little morsels. The sizes are irregular, but each is wonderfully panned with a glossy shine.
The bite is soft, softer than I would expect from a piece of dried fruit. The cranberries are plump (I guess plumped with the other fruit additions and a touch of tapioca syrup). It's immediately tangy and with that light tannic bitterness that cranberries have. The chocolate is smooth, though not quite silky, it offsets the fruit very well and brings its own dry finish.
I found these very satisfying and preferred the texture of the centers to regular raisins or dried cranberries which can be grainy or overly chewy. Though there's a lot less fat in here than many chocolate treats, with only 120 calories per ounce, that means there's also more sugars, though some are obviously from the fruit and not as readily available. There's also 2 grams of fiber, 10% of your vitamin C and 8% of your RDA of iron.

Spangler Candy Corn Circus Peanuts
As if Circus Peanuts weren't enough of an enigma, now they're branching out into seasonal varieties.
If you're not familiar with Circus Peanuts, they're a fluffy, grainy, marshmallow shaped like a peanut, the same color as an orange creamsicle but flavored like bananas. Every once in a while you see other holiday shapes, like bunnies for Easter. Though I'm only a fan of Circus Peanuts by concept, because once I actually eat one I wonder what I was thinking. They have some sort of hypnotic amnesia field around them, and I often forget I don't like them and eat them. (I think there's a genetic component to this, there are some people who are immune to this and know they hate them and can avoid them, then there are others who actually like them so there's no need for the amnesia.)
Melster Marshmallow Candy Corn Circus Peanuts are basically not banana flavored, but candy corn flavored ... and not just orange, but also yellow and white.
Here are the things that recommend them:
Here's the top reason to buy them: You've always wanted to like Circus Peanuts but you were turned off by the flavor. Don't worry, Candy Corn Circus Peanuts have no flavor. (I'm just going to call them CCCP now.)
If you're a fan of marshmallows in your cereal, like Lucky Charms, these are actually a pretty good version of that as a candy. The original Lucky Charms marbits were Circus Peanuts, but I think these match the flavor better.
These were fresh and do smell lightly like vanilla and sugar. It's comforting. Rather clean and bright. The bite is soft, but the texture is grainy. They're like a marshmallow, but much denser ... but not quite a nougat. Really, they taste just like a very sugary marshmallow. If you've ever wanted Campfire Marshmallows with more sugar in them, this is for you.
These can't even muster being divisive like the banana Circus Peanuts, that's how ineffectual they are. That said, there's a Peppermint version for Christmas ... Candy Warehouse (who provided these) also sent some of those, I can't wait!

Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Salted Caramels
There's a new term for what happens this time of year, it's called Pumpkinundation: The proliferation of pumpkin and pumpkin spice products. (I discovered the term on Chowhound.)
Salted Caramels were also a trend, but apparently every trend either dies out or simply becomes an everyday item. So, it has happened with Salted Caramel and so now they must be trendalized with the newest flavors of the season. These are Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Salted Caramels.
Trader Joe's makes a version of these for Christmas with white flake sea salt. They're sold in the same box with a different design. They're wildly popular, as they're returned to shelves for more than six years in a row. Since Trader Joe's will pretty much make a pumpkin spice version of every product they sell at some point, it was just the salted caramels' turn. (I could list all of the items, but suffice to say that they've done tea, coffee, macaron, granola, ice cream, and actual pumpkin pie spice. Here's a taste test from Serious Eats from a few years ago.)
They're described on the box:
The ingredients are all natural, but insanely long. The chocolates are made in Ireland (I suspect by Lily O'Brien). The filling isn't just caramel, according to their list, but actually Sticky Toffee Caramel. There's no list of what the spices are for their pumpkin spice.
They're lovely looking caramels, they do well in their package and emerge very shiny and with most of the salt still attached to the squiggle of milk chocolate on top of the 55% dark chocolate.
Though I often find sea salt to be a bit over-hyped, as it's used in such small quantities that it's hard to tell different salts apart. In this instance I could tell it was Hawaiian Sea Salt ...and I did not like it. I can't quite put my finger on it, a friend called it Spaghetti-Os flavored, I thought it was more like carrot, but there's definitely an additional note to this salt. It was notable enough that for some of the pieces that I ate, I actually scraped the salt off completely.
The spice smell is quite clove-heavy, even before I bit into it. The chocolate is earthy and sweet with a very good bitter note towards the end. It's smooth and wonderfully tempered. There were no cracks or oozing spots on any of the caramels. The caramel has a light grain to it, which is probably the spice. There's also a cereal sort of wheaty flavor to it as well. The other spice notes are earthy, with some ginger and black pepper notes and some cinnamon. Not really the best combination for me, if it were a pie, but it goes well with the chocolate.
In the end, this was not a great combination for me, I didn't like the plain version of these that much and the addition of the spice doesn't do much for me either. I'll stick to the individually wrapped Trader Joe's Fleur de Sel Caramels or the panned Butterscotch Caramels.

Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Cashew
As much as I enjoy innovation and originality, the classics remain the classics for a reason. A simple chocolate covered nut is the epitome of satisfaction.
Ghirardelli is one of America's oldest chocolate companies, founded in 1852, and is known mostly for their chocolate bars and baking products. I was surprised to see they're now making panned chocolates, but I definitely snapped up this bag of Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Cashews at Target. It was on sale for $4.00 for the 5.5 ounce bag, which is a bit steep, but quality isn't cheap and the costs for raw materials like cocoa, sugar and nuts are going up lately.
The package describes them as whole roasted cashews covered in rich Ghirardelli milk chocolate. Simple. The nuts are, as promised, whole, or at least halves (which are the same shape but a little flatter). The ingredients are all natural and include a touch of tapioca syrup (for the glaze, I believe) instead of something that might be corn or wheat derived (and more likely to cause allergic reactions). There's more than a touch of sea salt, a whole 125mg per 40 gram serving.
They look stunning, they smell great. It's a sweet, nutty smell with a note of dried milk. The nuts are crunchy and fresh, the salt is mixed into the milk chocolate and immediately pops. (It's a little much for me, but I'm a known salt-sensitive in my circles.) The milk chocolate is creamy and thick and not too sweet. Overall, it's a great iteration of an iconic confection.
Chocolate covered nuts are a decent enough treat, nutrition-wise. Yes, there's a lot of fat in there, but most of it is good fat from cocoa butter and the nuts, plus a dash of cholesterol from the milk in the chocolate. But it does have 4 grams of protein to balance out the 14 grams of sugars along with 6% of your RDA of calcium and 8% of your iron.
If you're craving a dark chocolate version, Marich already makes those and they're fantastic as well. (In fact, since this is Ghirardelli's first outing with panned chocolates, I have to wonder if they subcontracted the production out ... and Marich is nearby.)

Jolly Rancher Caramel Apple Crunch 'n Chew
Last year Jolly Rancher introduced Jolly Rancher Caramel Apple Lollipops for Halloween. They're back again, along with a version of the more recent Crunch 'n Chew in the same flavor.
The Jolly Rancher Caramel Apple Crunch 'n Chew is available in large lay down bags and even this little individual portion size. The individually wrapped candies are quite different from the traditional Jolly Rancher hard candies.
In this case the candy features a hard candy shell in two flavors, caramel and apple. Then there's a soft chewy filling in a caramel flavor.
Crunch 'n Chew were introduced in 2012 and come in the standard Jolly Rancher flavors (green apple, blue raspberry, watermelon and cherry). As I noted in my original review, they're interesting but lack some of the great features I love about Jolly Rancher hard candies, which is the smooth dissolve without any voids and the light pliability of the candy as it melts. All that Jolly Rancher brings to the table here is the name recognition that basically invented the green apple flavor.
The image on the front of the package isn't quite accurate (it's also enlarged to show detail). It shows that the candy filling is a large portion of the mass of the candy, and that the caramel and apple portions are equal. Cleaving a piece in half showed that the caramel is actually a thin layer on top of the apple (which is fine, really, because that's the way actual caramel apples are), but it's the relatively small amount of chewy filling that's revealed here.
The brown layer is polite and has a sweet brown sugar flavor. The green part is green apple, which is tart and artificial and mostly tasty. The crunch takes a little while. I don't feel confident crunching right away, I usually let the candy dissolve for about 30 seconds. The filling is quite stiff and hard to chew, though the work is worth it. The center isn't really much, it's sweet and has a note of butter flavor to it. But the combination of all the elements chewed together is, well, impressively original.
It's probably not a candy I would buy in the large 10 ounce bag, but this little 1.55 ounces was fun and I'll probably finish the bag. Of the three candies I've tried now: the classic flavor Crunch 'n Chew, the Caramel Apple Lollipop and these Caramel Apple Crunch 'n Chew, I think these are by far the most successful.
Like the Caramel Apple Lollipops, these contain no dairy ingredients, so they may be a good option for someone who wants a caramel experience but is lactose intolerant. (There's no actual allergen statement though, so check with Hershey's if you have any allergy issues.) The candy also contains soy and gelatin (so it's not vegetarian). They're made in Brazil.
Meticulously photographed and documented reviews of candy from around the world. And the occasional other sweet adventures. Open your mouth, expand your mind.

Hi Tiago,
Thanks a lot for your comments.
In this toolbox (and in most other Spherical Harmonics toolboxes), the theta is defined in (0,pi) and phi in (-pi,pi) or (0, 2pi), so that the (theta,phi) parametrize a point on the sphere. The theta=-pi/2 case is not well-defined, and based on Legendre formula it should have the same value as theta=pi/2, because P(cos(theta)) should produce the same value.
Again, the table for Y_1^1 you are looking at should only be valid for theta in (0,pi) range. It is the convention of this toolbox (and most other SH toolboxes).
Hope that helps.
Please, check your code for the following examples:
l=1, m=1, theta = pi/2, phi = 0;
l=1, m=1, theta = -pi2/, phi=0;
They should give you -0.3455 and +0.3455 (check the results with the table for the analytical expression for Y_1^1, if necessary).
I point this out, because every single implementation of Spherical harmonics on Matlab that I found online have the same error, and unfortunately it's not only for l=1. If you figure out how to fix it, please let me know.

tips on being an effective charge nurse? - page 3
Hello Everyone....just wondering for any nurse that has experience being a charge, what are some things you do or would to be an effective CN and some things you that you would never do? I work in a great place but one of the... Read More
- 0Mar 21, '11 by carolmaccas66Have a plan for the shift. Let everyone else know what is expected of them. Ask for suggestions re some situations, but if anything gets out of hand, take charge and let others know some situations are non-negotiable, ie: that you are the boss, not them. Always respect the patients, carers and other nurses and follow the law. Discipline staff members in private and try to double-check work is done. Always make yourself available to other staff, patients and their families for help or questions.
There is a lot to know as a charge nurse. Some people don't know how to manage things - can this CN go on a course? Or just complain about her. I certainly don't tolerate crap now, and neither should you.

A banquet of delicious dishes – all made with chillies. Turn up the heat and indulge in some Mirch
Check Availability at
Summary Reviews Comment
Chile, capsicum, paprika, pimento, red pepper, aji, cayenne pepper, piri-piri... a chilli by any other name will be just as fiery! Or not – there are some chillies that produce a mild tingling of the tongue and most others that set your mouth on fire! Who would have thought that this fruit (yes, fruit!) that is an essential ingredient in Indian cooking was virtually unknown to our subcontinent till the Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama landed at Goa in the 15th century. Since then, chillies have been rapidly absorbed into Indian cuisine, which today appears bland and characterless without their sharp bite. So indispensable are they to the Indian palate, that today India is the largest producer of chillies! From their fi rst South American origins, chillies have evolved and multiplied to over 400 varieties all over the world. In India some of the most common are Bedgi, Kashmiri, Sankeshwari, Guntur, Naga Jolokia, Dhani, Hindpur, Ellachipur Sannam, Kanthari-White, Madras Pari, Tomato Chilli (Warangal Chappatta). Of these the Naga Jolokia that grows in Tezpur, Assam, has the distinction of being the world's hottest chilli. This potent fruit, a member of the capsicum family, starts out green and then turns fl aming red when it ripens. Dried at that stage it can be used whole to season a dish, ground with spices to form a rich red paste or crushed to a fi ne powder. When green, chillies add a delicate, fresh heat and crunch to curries and kababs. Mirch Mazaa celebrates the chilli and the sheer enjoyment it provides to our taste buds! I have put together a collection of recipes based on this hot favourite, which I have chosen from cuisines across the world. Try out the delicious Goan Chilli Chicken, crisp Mozzarella-stuffed Chillies, wholesome Chilli-Garlic Noodles, yummy Chilli-Garlic Okra, delectable Mirchi ka Salan or luscious Mirchi Murgh and you will be coming back for more!
All the recipes are meant for four portions when they form a part of a menu that has other complementary dishes. As you will see, all the recipes are written in a simple step-by-step manner which you will find very easy to follow. So turn the heat up and serve yourself a
generous portion of mazaa that only a mirch can generate!

About a year and a half ago, I got myself an E-M5. I've been taking pictures topside for more than 30 years, and when I certified and started to take pictures underwater I soon realized that my Canon G9 compact with onboard flash just wasn't going to cut it in the murky Nordic waters. Macro and strobe only isn't my cup of tea (I like to use flash sparingly, balancing my flash with existing light), so to get decent exposure at depth, below the algal soup layer, the puny compact camera sensor with its pretty crappy high-ISO performance just couldn't deliver.
Enter the E-M5. Noticably more compact than a dSLR, but with a performance that more than matched my Nikon D300 I currently use topside. Lens and port choice was difficult, but I decided on a rectilinear WA, the 9-18mm f/4-5.6. Topside, fisheye really isn't my cup of tea, macro would be too cruel for my diving buddy, and I decided that the 12-50mm was too narrow for me. Besides, the Nauticam 12-50 port was outside my budget at the time. Also, the 9-18 is fairly low cost and is really compact, making it a good lens for topside use as well.
The first stage in my UW photo gear spending spree was an OM-D E-M5, the 9-18, the Nauticam NA-EM5 and the 4" semidome port. No strobe due to budget considerations. Just learning to utilize the WA perspective was a challenge for a guy who for several decades has clearly preferred the portrait tele perspective.

By Lizzy Scully
Berthoud Recorder
How many people have heard of celiac disease? It's off the radar, despite the fact that it's one of the most common chronic health disorders in Western countries. In fact, one in 133 Americans have it (that's close to two million people), but only one in 4,700 are diagnosed. Many doctors who have been in practice for more than ten years don't realize the prevalence of this problem, and so are less likely to make the correct diagnosis.
To complicate matters, this genetic disease resembles a variety of other diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome and multiple sclerosis, among others, and it is regularly misdiagnosed.
So how do you know when you have it? Unfortunately, it affects different people in different ways. In some people in manifests in the digestive system, while in others it causes depression. Some digestive symptoms that are especially prevalent in children include: chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, flatulence, vomiting, pale, foul-smelling or fatty stool and weight loss. Though adults suffer those same symptoms, they also may experience mild weakness and bone pain, anemia and muscle cramps and spasms, depression or anxiety, tingling numbness in hands and feet, among other things (see sidebar for additional symptoms). In fact, it doesn't seem like there's much that a celiac doesn't suffer from.
Unfortunately, it gets worse. If the problem is not dealt with, these symptoms can cause dire long-term consequences, including intestinal damage, gastrointestinal cancers (celiac disease sufferers are 40 to 100 times more likely to get intestinal cancer than those without celiac disease) and osteoporosis. As well, celiacs can suffer from nerve disease and/or peripheral neuropathy. According to denvernaturopathic.com, current research illustrates that celiac disease stimulates the production of antibodies that attack areas other than the intestines, including the central nervous system. The subsequent neurological conditions mimic multiple sclerosis and can cause damage to the cerebellum, the posterior columns of the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves.
The longer people go without being diagnosed, the worse their prognosis is likely to be. However, on the bright side, the problem is easy to address.
"Celiacs" are unable to digest gluten, which is a protein found in various grains, including wheat, rye, barley and sweet rice. Furthermore, the gluten attacks and damages the lining of the small intestine, which is covered with tiny villi that function to absorb nutrients. Thus, no matter how much a person eats, they become malnourished because the walls of the small intestines can no longer transfer nutrients to the bloodstream. However, remove all gluten from the diet, and the problem disappears (unless irreversible damage has been done to the intestines, which is rare). In children it takes three to six months for the intestines to fully recover, and in adults it takes a few years.
However, celiacs must completely avoid gluten for the rest of their lives because even just a small amount can do major damage to the villi. A complete change in diet is often necessary and can be difficult if a person or family is accustomed to lots of processed foods. Still, the results will lead to improved health and wellness for the celiac, as well as an overall better quality of life.

Introducing the DanRadcliffe.com bookclub
Take a look at Dan's filmography, and you'll realise just how many of his films originally started out as books – David Copperfield, The Tailor of Panama, The December Boys, The Woman in Black, Kill Your Darlings, A Young Doctor's Notebook, Horns, and a little known series called Harry Potter.
So it seems somewhat fitting that Dan is a book lover with eclectic tastes, ranging from the classics to the contemporary. Individually, I think many of us have read books that have held significance in Dan's life – I know I certainly have – but there's nowhere for us to come together and talk about what we've read, and perhaps get insight into the narrative that might otherwise have passed us by.
Enter the DanRadcliffe.com bookclub, which will focus solely on books read by Dan, or books that were the inspiration for films he has appeared in. I've been playing around on a couple of different book club sites over the past couple of months, trying to find one that was the most user-friendly, and finally settled on my-bookclub.com to be the home of our club. I hope you'll join our club8, take a look at our bookshelves, and leave us a comment in the welcome thread about what book we should read first.
See you there!
*to join DRC's book club, you'll first have to create your own my-bookclub account, then apply to join DRC bookclub. The option to join won't become active until you have registered an account, and are logged in.

Yippee! My son went with a friend to a fair today ~ and I spent 3-4 hours on the beach working on my colorin'.
I was able to not only spend time at the beach, but got a great workout in afterward when the gym wasn't crowded.
Now, I have to vent just a little about my gym experience on Friday. I have never seen such freaky moves in my life!!! WTH are people thinking. Maybe its just me, but if I don't know how to do a move, I will google it.....and if I can't do it properly, I don't do it in public. This is when its handy to have a mirror nearby to check the form.
One lady in particular was painful to watch....if I could add video here, I would have to demonstrate the wackiness. I give it to her that she had pep ~ but she had a potbelly and one of those short midriff shirts (I am not being mean, I'm just painting a mental picture) ~ believe me, her drive was inspiring....her form was not (i thought she was going to hurt herself). Anyway, the gym was very crowded and there are about 4 - 5 weight benches in front of the mirror (I was up above in the cardio section). She lays back on one of the benches and starts doing wide V splits with her legs ~ I swear, she almost took people out on both adjacent benches....she didn't do just one set....she kept coming back for more! It was disturbing....so disturbing that it has bothered me since Friday and I figured if I type it out, it might leave me ~ WHEW!
Now, back to the beach ~ it was such a perfect, sunny, with a gentle breeze kind of day. It was so quiet and you could just lay there and listen to the waves lapping at the shore, watch the boats pull out of Allen's Harbor and watch people quahog. Just gorgeous!
After the beach and my workout, I felt so good that I decided to snap a picture after my shower ~ I have to say....I never expected to feel so proud of myself. I turn 37 next Monday. And I didn't expect 37 to look like this, but I'm so happy it does...and btw, the gym scale (which is never kind said I was 126 today with my clothes on :-)
Goals are great to have ~ goals are necessary to track progress through the process.
Beating goals is totally AWEEEEESOME!!!!
My goal = 128 lbs by someday....
Today = 126 lbs....consistently for a few days on the scale
What's a girl to do? Revise the goal, of course!!
When I tell you I was stuck at 133lbs, I was stuck. First of all, I figured my age had set in, and that I would never see the 120's. The diet on the BFL program (plus the weight training) has totally changed every bit of that. My 133 weight was me eating "healthy" through the day, and then coming home at night and having a little bit of this and that, and then finding something sweet (my drug of choice - sugar) and having myself a nice little binge ~ yeah me! Who did this hurt? Me....my self-esteem, especially when I believed I was just always going to have thick thighs and flabby arms. I know EXACTLY where all that sugar was going.
Not to mention, sometimes I'd eat myself into a sugar coma....seriously!!! I'd have too much of whatever it was, and zonk out on the couch only to wake up later and drag myself to bed. That was pitiful.
Good Sugar:
Bad Sugar:
These days, I have my last "mid-meal" a couple hours after my evening meal, and wake up excited to weigh myself and get to the gym. Can't wait for the rest of my life ~ now that sugar isn't at the wheel!
Annual check up today -- and damn if the doc's scales didn't agree with mine (in a negative way)! I am not going to let this set me back ~ however, I am sure that you ladies can sympathize with my feelings. I walk out of there and I feel instantly fat...its as if I can already feel the flab increasing around my middle. What is it with this psychological game that is played in our heads when we hear or see #'s related to our body size?!?!?
Aaarrrrrgh! Regardless, I'm going to focus on the positives of the appt ~ he said, "you are a doctor's dream patient" ~ and that I had kept off a considerable amount of weight since 2006. I weighed 148 around 2006, because I was on the depo provera bc shot. Not only did it make me fat, but, it screwed my bone density all up.
But, the doctor is fine (and I mean totally fine!!), he gave me the thumbs up, and as always he talked running, biking and weight-lifting with me ~ great bedside manner! If only he had a brother...
Have a great day everyone!!
It has rained here for weeks on end ~ and this weekend is promising to be the first real sunny weekend in a few. We are going to get that "oppressive" heat the south has been feeling for a while.
So, me, in my infinite wisdom has been self-tan spraying myself in an effort to have a little color. Its working! Before I got in the shower this a.m., I weighed myself and then caught a glimpse of my tan-self in the mirror and did a double take! AWESOME!
It could have been the fact that I did an hour and half of cardio yesterday, 45 min of weight training plus worked all day that made me feel lighter (and my scale...NO JOKE!....said 125 this a.m. -- must be dehydration). However, I think its the tan that makes me "look" smaller, at least to me.
Why is that!? I don't know, but I likey!!
Ever since taking and posting the pics in a previous blog, I've completely re-focused on the task at hand. I'm stepping up my cardio and pushing myself harder on the weight training.
I've kept a log since Day 1, and its interesting to see the progression of "weight lifted" on that day and now. My arms and back are still sore from my Tuesday workout, but today was heavy lower body (ironic statement since I do have a heavy lower body....). I'm really picking up the pace and breaking out of the normal routine to try to challenge my muscles to "think" differently and adapt.
This is where the action is -- Muscle confusion! Normally, confusion....not good, but with muscles....very good...keeps them on their muscle toes
Today is the beginning of Week 8 for me and so that means step it up! BIG TIME! I have four weeks (one of which I'll be traveling....aaarrrgh!), but I have rearranged my schedule for that week.
Visiting family that is sedentary is my biggest problem there ~ however, I'll get up, and do cardio that week and get my weight training in before and after the travel to catch up. Planning makes all the difference in getting it done!
So, I'll hush now and get back to the planning of it all....

We're pretty sure this unbelievably gay footage from a Hillary Clinton rally in Texas didn't do her much good in the macho Lonestar State. Then again, the opening salvo, "We need a cleaning in that White House, and we need a woman to clean it up…and that woman is Hillary Rodham Clinton" may have played better than expected.

Graco Pack 'n Play Play Yard with Cuddle Cove Rocking Seat
At a glance
A Pack 'n Play with a bassinet, a changing station, and plenty of other bells and whistles to entertain and soothe your baby.
Suitable for
BabyCenter Editors' review*
What it is
This deluxe Pack 'n Play comes with all you could ever want from a play yard and a lot of stuff you never knew you wanted. There's a spacious changing station, a removable infant seat, cubbies for diapering supplies, a cozy bassinet, soft music, nature sounds, and even a vibration setting. But it doesn't skimp on the all-important basic stuff either. That means it's easy to fold, it doesn't require superhuman strength to move it, and the mesh walls allow your baby to peer out and also provide good air circulation.
What to watch out for
It's not the simplest item to set up, particular with all those extra features. (The 34-step directions for the infant seat alone can be quite vexing.) The changing table only holds little ones up to 25 pounds.

When there is a thing, situation, person, etc. that you want to be rid of, that you want to
get out of your life forever.
Take a nine inch natural cord (nine being the number of the master of the self) or string.
Concentrating on your situation, person, etc., intensely talking out loud *or yelling as the
case may be* slowly tie a knot in the cord. Before pulling it tight, make sure you get
worked up with all the emotion you can muster on the subject; all the anger, pain, resentment, etc.
Then tie it up in the knot. Lay the string somewhere safe and enclosed, like a box.
Then go and forget about it. Get rid of the negative energy.
Take a shower/ bath, a bike ride, walk, see a funny movie, see your best friend (but don't'
talk about your problem), anything that will put you in a good mood and make you feel clean
and powerful and refreshed. Then go back to the cord (within the same 24 hrs please), and hold it.
While visualizing your trouble disappearing from your life, and saying the same, untie the knot and
see it setting free and leaving. Burn the cord in a cauldron, preferably a copper one.
(a cup will do if you don't have a cauldron).

The Australian dollar climbed against its U.S. counterpart for a fifth straight day, the longest streak in a month, as rising commodity prices boosted demand for currencies linked to exports.
The Aussie gained against all but one its 16 most-traded peers after weak U.S. economic data fueled speculation the Federal Reserve will add monetary stimulus. Bets that China may also implement more monetary easing led to a rise in Asian stocks. The New Zealand dollar gained against its U.S. counterpart as stocks advanced and appetite for risk increased.
"It would be commodity prices," driving the price, John Doyle, director of markets in Washington at currency-trading firm Tempus Consulting Inc., said in a telephone interview. "Longer term, where's the top for the Aussie? It's an 11-week high, at some point you're going to see profit taking."
Australia's dollar rose 0.6 percent to $1.0426 yesterday in New York, the highest level in 11 weeks. The Aussie climbed 0.4 percent to 81.95 yen. New Zealand's dollar, called the kiwi, appreciated 0.4 percent to 80.33 U.S. cents and advanced 0.1 percent to 63.14 yen.
Asian stocks advanced with the MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index (MXAP) gaining 1.6 percent. The Thomson Reuters/Jefferies CRB Commodity Index climbed 1.92 percent to its highest level since May 2. Gold rose 0.6 percent to $1,582.48 an ounce.
Purchases of previously owned U.S. homes slid 5.4 percent in June to a 4.37 million annual rate, an eight-month low, data from the National Association of Realtors showed yesterday in Washington.
Implied volatility on three-month options for Group-of- Seven currencies was 8.69 percent, close to the least since November 2007, according to the JPMorgan G7 Volatility Index. The average during the past five years is 12.4 percent. Three- month implied volatility for the Australian dollar 10.07, almost the least since May 1.

Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. homeownership rate fell in the fourth quarter as borrowers lost homes to foreclosure and tight lending standards stalled purchases.
The rate fell to 66 percent from 66.3 percent in the third quarter, as low as it was in 1998, the Census Bureau said in a report today. It peaked at 69.2 percent in June 2004 and fell to a post-peak low of 65.9 percent in the second quarter of last year, according to the report.
"The share of Americans who are willing and able to own their own home is still falling," Paul Diggle, an economist with Capital Economics in London said today in a note. "The flipside is more households in the rented sector and fewer properties lacking tenants. This is helping to drive rents, and therefore landlords' returns, higher."
Stricter lending criteria, a lack of money for down payments and concerns that prices will fall further kept many Americans from taking advantage of low borrowing costs that raised the housing affordability rate to record levels last year, according to the National Association of Realtors. Home values fell 3.7 percent in November from a year earlier, bringing repeat sales prices 33 percent below their July 2006 peak, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Composite 20-City index released today.
The ownership rate may decline further and home repossessions may increase this year after lenders settle investigations by state attorneys general into their foreclosure practices. States have until Feb. 3 to decide whether to accept a nationwide settlement involving banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. that may total as much as $25 billion.
New Foreclosures Slow
The number of foreclosures initiated fell 39 percent last year from 2010 as banks slowed repossessions, Lender Processing Services Inc. reported Jan. 27. The average home sold at a foreclosure auction was 667 days delinquent as of Nov. 30, according to Lender Processing Services, a real estate information service based in Jacksonville, Florida.
President Barack Obama in his Jan. 24 State of the Union speech called on lenders to ease mortgage-refinancing terms. A revised Home Affordable Modification Program, unveiled Jan. 27, would pay mortgage aggregators Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to forgive debt on some houses that have lost value.
The homeownership rate rose to a record in 2004 when President George W. Bush, running for re-election, called for expanding home-loan availability to create an "ownership society."
About 2.38 million homes were listed for sale in December, the fewest since March 2005, the realtors association said on Jan. 20.
Of the estimated 132.5 million U.S. homes, 18.4 million, or 13.9 percent, were vacant in the fourth quarter, a decrease of 160,000 from a year earlier, according to the report. That includes homes for sale or rent or held off the market and vacation properties used seasonally.
The vacancy rate for rental homes was 9.4 percent in the fourth quarter, the same as a year earlier. The rate for owner- occupied homes fell to 2.3 percent from 2.7 percent a year earlier.

Podcast 152: Chancha Vía Circuito
- Words: Shawn Reynaldo
No matter how you feel about cumbia digital, there's no denying that Buenos Aires' ZZK crew knows how to hustle. Constantly touring the globe and birthing new music, the Argentinian posse's latest release is Rio Arriba, the second full-length album from Chancha Vía Circuito (a.k.a. Pedro Canale). Known for his deep, loping rhythms and modern explorations of traditional folkloric Latin sounds, Canale has followed a similar path on this exclusive mixtape, which he's entitled Los Pastores. Stocked with tunes from his ZZK compatriots, not to mention several choice selections and remixes from Canale himself, the mix relies heavily on organic sounds, particularly thick, clattering drums and percussion. It's a hypnotic formula, and one that can be witnessed live beginning tonight, as ZZK is kicking off its North American summer tour in New York and traversing the continent over the next couple of weeks. Check the tour dates and complete mixtape playlist below.

Amazing mix of beautiful sounds. I have never heard of this project, or the label, but I love the mix of folkloric tunes with digital brilliance. I am sorry I missed this guy in Chicago in July, I feel it would have been lovely.

With diabolical wit, the author of TANATALIZE revisits a deliciously dark world where vampires vie with angels — and girls just want to have fangs.
At last, Miranda is the life of the party: all she had to do was die. Elevated and adopted by none other than the reigning King of the Mantle of Dracul, Miranda goes from high-school theater wannabe to glamorous royal fiend overnight. Meanwhile, her reckless and adoring guardian angel, Zachary, demoted to human guise as the princess's personal assistant, has his work cut out for him trying to save his girl's soul and plan the Master's fast-approaching Death Day gala. In alternating points of view, Miranda and Zachary navigate a cut-throat eternal aristocracy as they play out a dangerous and darkly hilarious love story for the ages.
Cynthia Leitich Smith is the acclaimed author of TANTALIZE and several other books for young readers. A member of the faculty at the Vermont College MFA program in writing for children and young adults, she lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, author Greg Leitich Smith.
"Revisits the dark alternate world of Tantalize with a new set of characters. . . . Readers should be hooked . . . up through the action-packed finale." — Publishers Weekly

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
How to dim my screen?
Hello, my net book has an insanely bright screen, and using the function buttons to dim/brighten the screen is close to pointless, because it's range from bright to low is barely noticeable. It gives me a headache.
So, how (if possible) can I dim the screen from windows 7? Something from the control panel?
Note: My netbook has windows 7 starter, not windows 7 home.

start typing power into your start-menu searchbox, then choose power options from the search results.
there should be a screen brightness button on the bottom. it doesn't go very far down though for me and my netbook.
*edit* oops - sorry, i think this is exactly what the keyboard brightness control alters...
maybe there is a setting in your bios?
you'll probably be glad of this brightness if you use your netbook outdoors on a sunny day, but that doesn't help your problem though.
