Hi, I used to go by ~White Wolf~ but everyone called me ~Wolfie~ and it has kind of stuck. I love Poser, and the ability to grow, as I love to make and learn new things with this amazing software. I've been messing about in Poser since it was owned by 'Meta Creations' (you do the math), but never really got into it until 2003. I am the 'creator' (for lack of a better term) of Mix n Match Mega, Ultimate, Extreme, and Infinite. I love giving people the ability to do whatever they can with what a base package will allow. I will always push my packs to the Mega, Ultimate, Extreme, or Infinite limits of what is possible. It is what I do, and it is what I have been doing for a very long time (2004), and it's what I plan on doing for longer still. I get many requests for products with 'difficult' UV maps, but I don't let those things slow me down. I will bust my arse to be sure to find a way of working with these packs to supply what was requested, and then some, with my killer mat pose packages that are often imitated, but hardly duplicated. :-) Yes, it's not uncommon for my texture add on packages to have over 2500 mat poses, and I have even had one package hit over 10000 mat poses! BIO In case you hadn't guessed, I am a lady. A lot of people often thought I was a man. (must be the nick name) Anyway, I'm 38 (1974) and a married mother of two aged 18 yrs and 13 yrs, both boys. Actually, make that four cause I would have to argue that my BMW 330xi and JEEP Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon (4 door) are also my babies. I am a Canadian. Always will be Canadian, living in Northern Ontario, but not in an igloo. Although it does get cold enough that we could build one, and it would probably last around 4 months (give or take) before slowly melting. It's not uncommon for it to hit, in the winter, a low of -35 degrees Celsius (-29.2 degree Fahrenheit for those of you who use the incorrect format *smile*) ♥♥♥ ~Wolfie~

Rice and Toxins
Name: Clarence A. Status: Other Age: 20s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
I read somewhere that eating overnight rice is bad for you. It seems that the rice produce a toxin once it is left over night. Can you tell me more about this? Any truth in this?
I am not referring to spoilage but rather a 'toxin' that rice produces once left to stand overnight. I read this somewhere but I cannot remember where or the details of this. I think it has to do with the rice fermenting and producing a chemical that can be toxic if consumed. Anything on this?
It is true. I will look into the specific details, but what happens is that rice often contains hardy bacterial spores that can withstand the cooking process. Cooking the rice, however, awakens the spores and they become living, metabolizing bacteria once again. If the conditions are right for the bacteria to grow (say, if the rice is allowed to stand without refrigeration), the bacteria produce a toxin that causes diarrhea. This is sometimes called "fried rice diarrhea" because fried rice is often made with yesterday's steamed rice.
I will see if I can find the name of the specific bacterium responsible.

Following up on my reply yesterday - the bacterium responsible is Bacillus Cereus.

Rocket Car
With all the fuss over flex-fuel cars, why not build your own? It will run on butane, hydrogen or alcohol vapor--and cost under $20. The safest plan, though, is to start with Right Guard, just as many spud gunners do. Spray some in and tighten on the cap--which you have predrilled to form a nozzle. Then, strike a spark. Zoom!
The key is finding the best nozzle size for your fuel type, says Sam Barros (powerlabs.org), a fan of all things explosive. And, he advises, avoid fire alarms. "Because chances are good they're gonna go off."

I planted about a hundred daffodil bulbs, today, too. That makes somewhere around a hundred and eighty daffodils on the property, if they all come up next year. Add about two hundred and eighty irises... Thirty-five or forty glads, a handful of hollyhocks, a couple dozen blazing stars, a dozen old fashioned day lilies, about a thousand alliums - if and when they stop pouting over the move - a couple dozen grape hyacinths, three surprise lilies, a few poppies, four begonias, eight lobelias, two butterfly bushes, a couple of coneflowers, four roses, about eighteen lavender plants, a couple of dozen alyssum and one lonely cosmos...and something else that I'm forgetting, at the moment, whatever it is... Most of those flowers have been planted or transplanted over the last six months. By this time next year, it oughta be kinda colorful around here. All on a quarter acre lot, with a house and with grass to mow... Sometimes, I ask myself: "Warren! What in the world were you thinking?" Other times, I think: "Dang. I did good!" It kinda balances out that way... |

Sounds like it will be beautiful when it blooms!! I have pulled up lots of daffodils and have them sitting around in piles. I have a hill I would like to plant them on but not sure if thats ever gonna happen. Not sure the guys would appreciate me taking up grass space for the cows either. |

Well, you grab a bucket full of daffys and sneak out there when no one's around...plant them and let them go. Daffys yearn to be free, you know. |

Australia-Japan Free Trade Agreement' Twelfth Negotiating Round
Newsletter Update 12
6 April 2011
The twelfth round of negotiations on the Australia-Japan Free Trade Agreement (FTA) was held in Tokyo from 7-10 February 2011.
This was the first FTA round held since Japan announced its new trade policy on FTAs (the Basic Policy on Comprehensive Economic Partnerships) in November 2010, with the stated goal of opening up to the world through trade and investment liberalisation — including through concluding the FTA with Australia.
The round saw renewed enthusiasm from Japan. Progress was made across most areas of the negotiations, although a number of areas of difficultly remain.
Australia and Japan both committed to a comprehensive, high quality FTA and Australia will continue to work hard with Japan to resolve outstanding issues.
The next round was scheduled to be held in Canberra from 11-15 April 2011. However, due to the recent disaster, resources within the Japanese bureaucracy have understandably been preoccupied with tsunami-related disaster response and recovery operations and therefore the round has been postponed. At this stage a date for the 13th round of negotiations has yet to be set. DFAT will be talking to our Japanese counterparts to reschedule the round in due course.
Goods (Agricultural and Non Agricultural)
In the goods market access session, both sides continued to explore respective goods requests and offers.
On agricultural market access, Australia noted that free trade in agricultural products should be the goal of the FTA. Australia also presented a list of priority products it would like Japan to pay particular attention to in terms of improved market access. Japan provided an explanation of its FTA policy change and the accompanying development of a new policy on agricultural reform (due in June 2011). Japan also acknowledged that liberalisation of its agriculture sector would be necessary to conclude an FTA with Australia.
On market access for industrial products and resources, Japan reiterated its request for further improvements in Australia's offer, while Australia outlined areas in which it considered Japan could improve its offer.
Discussions on the energy and mineral resources chapter made solid progress, while discussions on food supply highlighted Japanese concerns regarding a possible fall in Australian exports of food to Japan following the recent floods and cyclone Yasi.
Sound progress was also made on the chapters on rules of origin, customs procedures, and technical barriers to trade.
Services and Investment
Discussions on services and investment chapter texts were productive. In particular, solid progress was made on the telecommunications and financial services chapters, where both sides were able to agree on a significant amount of unresolved text.
Minor progress was made on the almost-complete trade in services chapter. Progress on the investment chapter was slower, as key areas of difference remain, including Japan's priority request to include an Investor-State Dispute Settlement mechanism.
Australia expressed disappointment at the lack of progress on the issue of increased market access for services and investment and reiterated the importance of a strong outcome.
Legal, Institutional and Other Issues
The dispute settlement chapter is coming together, with progress made towards agreeing on structures for panel composition, panel procedures and suspension of concessions.
Positive progress was also made on the chapter for institutional and framework provisions — in particular on taxation and security exceptions — and on the government procurement text.
We welcome input on issues of relevance to the Australia-Japan FTA negotiations. For further information, please email email@example.com.

Hi Folks, QUESTION I have an electrician coming in a few hours who is going to rough in the overhead lights in our kitchen. I need help figuring where to place them. I want them to feel centered, but the question is to I consider the center of the room: A.) based on a perimeter of the walls B.) based on a perimeter of the space as defined by the cabinets - 24" away from the walls C.) center of the windows Also, do you recomment two lights, spaced at one third and two thirds of the middleline, or one light fixture for the whole kitchen? BACKGROUND INFO * We are not doing recessed lighting. (Just not fans, and it looks out of place with our 1850s house. We will opt for vintage light fixtures as we have in the rest of the house.) * For reference in the pictures, all cabinets and appliances will go on in an L shape, starting to the right of the windows, and making a turn to go along the wall with the framing. A bathroom is going behind that framed out wall. * The picture of the framing wall - I placed the red bucket at approximately the equivalent of where the middle line of the windows is. * The ceilings will be 8"ft high. * We will be putting a table and chairs in the space near the window and to the left of the window. I do not feel the need to have pendent lighting over the table or over the sink. We will have task lighting under cabinet over sink and under other cabinets. Hope this is not too confusing! Thanks. |

New York City Ballet Programme Four - Thou Swell/Tarantella/Western Symphony/West Side Story Suite
Can you imagine the Royal Ballet bursting into song mid-performance? It's certainly not something you'd expect, and yet the New York City Ballet is here to prove that not only can it be done, but it can be done well.
Its last London programme does away with high brow art and instead gives its audience a dose of good old-fashioned American fun.
It begins with the gorgeous Thou Swell which combines the fun and fanfare of the jazz age with the clarity and perfection of one of the best ballet companies in the world.
It's like Sex and the City onstage. There's the petite blonde in a cute frock, dancing with reckless abandon and toe-tapping gusto, all knee-swinging, up-flexed wrists and poker straight lines. There's the dreamer with her head in the clouds, yearning, longing and loving - graceful swirling, sighing, yielding and soft, performing some sublime lifts with her partner. Along comes the vixen/seductress, all satin-wrapped and slinky with three men on the go as well as the sassy one with a biting wit and terrifying perfection.
Danced to popular and recognisable tunes such as The Lady is a Tramp, Getting To Know You and Blue Moon, performed by a live trio and two lounge singers, this is proper music, moonlight, dance and romance kinda stuff.
The programme whips along with a sprightly and charming Tarantella, with Sterling Hyltin and Gonzalo Garcia bashing their tambourines and smiling as if they're about to burst.
Balanchine's Western Symphony is a strange blend of heel-toe, high-kicking and yee-hawing with classical romantic steps and folk dance formations. While an odd combination, Jonathan Stafford saves the day as a sparkly cowboy with his thumbs in his britches. He dances with a swagger and his tongue firmly in his cheek. There's a rugged edge to his jumps and a masculine flair as he finishes his moves.
The show is rounded off perfectly with the best bits of Jerome Robbins' all time favourite, West Side Story condensed into a 40 minute episode, proving that some ballet dancers can do musical theatre - singing and all.

Dear Gossips,
"We have earned the right to fail." Is what Iker Casillas said a couple of weeks before the start of the World Cup after Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League win yesterday. And I wrote at the time that…well… it's not the attitude you want going into the tournament.
So, yeah, they failed. Spectacularly. And Iker in particular took a massive sh-t. I hope Sara Carbonero isn't as fickle as I am, you know? This won't be happening this year:
While Spain was getting dumped from the World Cup, the country crowned a new King and Queen, Felipe and Letizia. They made sure it wasn't happening at the same time as the game, right?
Yours in gossip,

So I was a genius yesterday. I sat on my bag. It had my laptop in it. It was more like a plop. You know how you throw yourself into a chair ass first? F-cked up my tailbone. Standing is fine.

Dear Gossips,
It was Yulia Lipnitskaya who dominated the discussion on the ladies' figure skating side last week. Some believe she was over-judged. That they were so charmed by her pluck and precociousness they've ranked her higher than she deserves to be ranked. That she will eventually get there but that she's definitely not there yet, and certainly not as there as her competitors. Who's that? Well, Gracie Gold is one of them. Which is why Gold's coach, Frank Carroll, offered this bitchy remark when commenting on Yulia's team skate performance:
"I do think she's wonderful, but she's a little girl. Should we call it the little girl Olympics or is it the Olympic ladies' champion?"
Oh it's time now. Read Full Intro

Derrick Rose practices unrestricted in 5-on-5, but Bulls' accounts vary
BY JOE COWLEY email@example.com February 18, 2013 10:44PM

Derrick Rose still hasn't dunked — at least not to his liking. Not ''off stride,'' not with the explosion he expects from himself.
The Bulls guard says that's his final test in his road back from surgery last May to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
But as far as the Bulls are concerned, Rose may have jumped the final hurdle Monday, participating in his first five-on-five scrimmage with no restrictions, no holding back.
''It went fine,'' coach Tom Thibodeau said. ''He's doing what he should be doing. Focused on his rehab, doing more and more. We just have to be patient. When he's ready, he'll go.''
Thibodeau was asked how much Rose participated in the scrimmage, which guard Kirk Hinrich described as about three eight-minute sessions.
''He did what everyone else did, just a normal practice,'' Thibodeau said.
But, as has been the case whenever Rose's comeback has been discussed, the message was inconsistent. Center Joakim Noah said Rose participated in the scrimmage ''just a little bit.''
''Not too much,'' Noah said. ''He's doing well. He's working hard every day and getting better.''
Asked if Rose was dunking, Noah said, ''No, not yet.''
But in January, several teammates said Rose was dunking.
Noah even seemed to be backtracking on his feelings about Rose's return at all this season. He gave it a big yes last week. On Monday he changed it to, ''We'll see. We'll see.''
One thing that was fairly clear after this first post-All Star break practice is that Rose and Hinrich are planned to be on the court at the same time when Thibodeau wants that type of matchup. Hinrich said he spent some heavy minutes at the two-guard, with Rose taking the point guard duties that Hinrich has handled in his absence.
''It was good,'' Hinrich said. ''I have some experience doing that, so it was good just to see Derrick out there and [to be] playing alongside him. We all needed the work.''
Some more than others. Hinrich had been sidelined the last two weeks after surgery to clean out an infection in his right elbow. He worked out over the break and will be in the starting lineup Tuesday night in New Orleans.
Now, if the starters could just get some intensity back. The Bulls dropped their last two games going into the break and looked worn down in those losses. Thibodeau gave the players a lengthy speech Monday with the aim of getting their focus back — with or without Rose in the second half.
''We had slippage,'' Thibodeau said of the losses. ''The big thing is getting our level of intensity up to where it needs to be so that we can execute at a high level. For us, that's paramount. We have to clean some things up offensively and defensively, but the biggest thing is the level of intensity and to get that back.
''You map out the rest of the season moving forward, so we touched on a lot of things. . . . It comes down to how smart and how together we can be. We know being short-handed without Derrick, that's our only way of having success, so we have to get back to that.''

Lol, $49 shipping to get 10 of those minfigs.
No deal here folks
And McQueen is actually $24.99, however, it may be your last chace to get him before it goes up in price. UB Mater is also at $24.99 (free shipping from 3rd-party seller)
The .99 cent price made me click through to the listing. Yeah, they are selling them for .99 cents but with $4.99 for shipping. Good catch on that one flash0222. No mention of a discount for ordering multiples. I think I'll stick with getting them for $1.99 from Five Below.
Be especially careful with some of these discounts for currently available sets. For example, the Lego Star Wars Malevolence is listed for $100 with free shipping. That deals sounds like a perfect example of a fraudulent drop ship (see the Brickset forum). When the deal sounds to good to be true it most likely is.
Death star is currently US$336

Thanks to a lot of helpful information here on Gardenweb we have been super happy with our kitchen (new home build) since moving in Dec. 19. Want to provide some feedback for others now, especially about the steam oven which was a purchase we made with a LOT of trepidation.
We have a Kitchenaid 30" Steam Assist oven and absolutely adore it. Just a week after moving in, we threw a stuffed turkey in there and prayed Christmas dinner would turn out ok. It came out absolutely gorgeous, tender, and done in 2 1/2 hours, when it would have taken 4 and a half in our old electric oven. We've experimented with breads, other baked goods, pizza (awesome), fresh vegetables (asparagus rocks our world with only a little sea salt), pot roast, casseroles, and find we use the steam feature often and that it improves many of the things we cook in quality and speed. No problems with reliability or noise, its worst trait is a bit slow to preheat (when needed). And its pretty to boot! We've largely had to experiment our way along with it though, it has only the most basic recipe info. It has a proofing and warming feature as well as convection or regular baking so it could be the only oven you ever need. Well, except.... We also went for the GE Advantium 120V wall installation to be our primary microwave and overflow oven. If you don't do much oven cooking, or were very space constrained, this could also be the one oven you'd ever need. We use it about 90% microwave, and 10% overflow from the oven or warming drawer or broiler. It heats up quicker than the Kitchenaid and its smaller dimension makes it ideal for quickly and efficiently warming up leftovers or acting as a warming drawer or broiler so we do use it as an oven more often than I'd expected to. From the day we flipped the switch on, everyone has found it easy to program and it has some cool microwave functions like "melt". We have it installed in an undercounter location at our island, and had a tiny service issue not long after installation (installation problem) and no one blinked about its location, warranty honored no problem. A couple of other things we've ended up really liking: We had our contractor cut two openings on the backside of our chopping block to hold stainless metal restaurant bins which we use to catch trimmings, to hold finished veggies or meat to be carried over to the stove, to grate cheese into, and even have used it on taco night as the place for salsa and toppings. We have plastic clear lids for the bins, and extras in a drawer so we can just slip out the dirty bin and replace it with a clean one. Each bin cost us about $5 with the lid. They come different depths and widths so it could be a retrofit/remodel item too. We also have liked the two granites we picked out: Cambrian Antiqued Black, and Santa Cecilia. The black is low key and although it shows some dust, its easy to clean and gets lots of compliments for its leather-like texture and depth. The Santa Cecilia covers up all cooking spatters almost too well, I've trained myself to wipe it after cooking there because if I look at it to see if its dirty I'd probably miss most of the mess. Two things not so great: Our island is too deep for anyone to reach all the way across and is very hard to keep clean or utilize effectively for more than just piling stuff. And we inserted in-baseboard under cupboard pull out steps in two locations because I am short (4'11") and I don't use the steps at all. They are hard to reach and wobbly to stand on. Hope this helps anyone with similar interests!

Susan, Thanks so much for posting this info. I have a couple questions. How involved $$ was it to get your steam oven plumbed? Would it be possible for you to post a pic of your cutting board? I'm interested in this bin concept. The Advantium info was really helpful. I was going to get one all along and then periodically veer away and think I should get something different. I plan on using it as my main oven when just cooking for two. Is it annoying ot switch out from MW to oven? |
To find bins, search : steam table pans or food pans. Polycarbonate, polysulfonate, or stainless. E.g. "One Sixth Size Hi Heat Amber Polysulfonate Food Pan 6" Deep. Designed to accommodate extreme temperatures ranging from 40°F to 375°F ....." from Carlisle. On commercial refrigeration counter top units these pans stick down into the refrigerated air and remain cool. They come in sizes like one ninth, one sixth, one third of a "standard" pan size. They can be shallow or deep. On salad tops / sandwich tops / pizza tops, this is how you will see them described: 1/9 size (0.7 Qt.) -- L 6 3/4" - w4" - d 2 1/2" Shallow Hope I've nailed it for you. cap opening 10302 103201 Top Notch |

Pictures, pictures, we want pictures. You can't gush about your steam oven and counters without posting pics. That's just cruel. ;D |
How deep is too deep for your island? What size is your island and what is it's function in your kitchen? Does it have a sink, any appliances? Yes, yes, laxsupermom isn't the only one who would love pics! BTW, 5'1/2" tall :) |

I love your windows and the color combination of granite, wood, and paint on your island. I can see what you mean about it being tough to clean the section where the flowers are. The pic is a little grainy so I'm having a tough time seeing the perimeter cabs and backsplash, but what I can see looks beautiful! You can resize your pics in photobucket to medium or large. |

Your kitchen is glamorous. That is not usually a descriptive word I would use on a room but that is what came to mind. Your decisions work very well together and I am sure you are enjoying all the hours spent in food preparation and entertainment. |

We are considering divorce! The steam-assist Kitchenaid oven has proven very unreliable to use as a steam oven, the main reason we picked this expensive oven. We think the issue might have to do with our water softener clogging up the steam function, but we have to call service after 3-4 uses, it shuts down with an error message. We purchased an extended warranty which is about to run out so we are worried now. If anyone has experience with adding a filter or has had regular shut downs without a water softener we'd love to hear more. The preheat time is also pretty unbearable. |
Sorry to hear your woes! We installed a Gaggenau Combi Steam oven and seriously ever since we moved into the house, I have been having a fling with the combi. Sometimes we hook up a couple of times every single day. Just yesterday, we used the oven to steam eggs for breakfast. Reheat leftover baked oatmeal. In the evening, the oven helped me do a quick bruschetta. We do have a water softener and with the Gagg, one of the initial calibrations is for water hardness. They have a descaling process if needed and an optional Britta filtration system. I do not have that but the water softener does help according to my local service guy. The preheat is fantastic.. Things get hot and steamy real fast :) |

Thanks for the update, Susurradeluz. I've been wanting one of these. GWlolo - how long have you had yours? |
- Posted by angela12345 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 3, 13 at 15:55
Susan, wonder if an RO (reverse osmosis) filter would help ? |
GreenHighlighter - I got an older Gagg steam oven on clearance almost 2 years ago. It sat in my garage until it got installed 3 months ago. I have been using it for several weeks. But during design we did talk to Purcell Murray , who is the local distributor and they suggested a water softener. We were anyways going to do a whole house softener, so it worked. Angela, you cannot use RO as it produces very pure water who's considered aggressive meaning it cannot be routed through any metal pipes. It will corrode away at any metal if it comes in direct contact. It can only be routed through PE pipe or PE lined pipes. Maybe time to talk to a plumber? |

Lack of Sleep Disrupts Genes »
"March 1, 2013 -- Sleeping fewer than six hours for several nights in a row affects hundreds of genes responsible for keeping us in good health, says a new study.
Research led by the U.K.'s Surrey Sleep Research Centre found that peopl"...
Human Experience
In clinical trials, a total of 151 protocol-specified doses ranging from 1000 to 1600 mg/day (5 to 8 times the recommended daily dose of 200 mg) have been administered to 32 subjects, including 13 subjects who received doses of 1000 or 1200 mg/day for 7 to 21 consecutive days. In addition, several intentional acute overdoses occurred; the two largest being 4500 mg and 4000 mg taken by two subjects participating in foreign depression studies. None of these study subjects experienced any unexpected or life-threatening effects. Adverse experiences that were reported at these doses included excitation or agitation, insomnia, and slight or moderate elevations in hemodynamic parameters. Other observed high-dose effects in clinical studies have included anxiety, irritability, aggressiveness, confusion, nervousness, tremor, palpitations, sleep disturbances, nausea, diarrhea and decreased prothrombin time.
From post-marketing experience, there have been no reports of fatal overdoses involving modafinil alone (doses up to 12 grams). Overdoses involving multiple drugs, including modafinil, have resulted in fatal outcomes. Symptoms most often accompanying modafinil overdose, alone or in combination with other drugs have included: insomnia; central nervous system symptoms such as restlessness, disorientation, confusion, excitation and hallucination; digestive changes such as nausea and diarrhea; and cardiovascular changes such as tachycardia, bradycardia, hypertension and chest pain.
Cases of accidental ingestion/overdose have been reported in children as young as 11 months of age. The highest reported accidental ingestion on a mg/kg basis occurred in a three-year-old boy who ingested 800-1000 mg (50-63 mg/kg) of modafinil. The child remained stable. The symptoms associated with overdose in children were similar to those observed in adults.
Overdose Management
No specific antidote to the toxic effects of modafinil overdose has been identified to date. Such overdoses should be managed with primarily supportive care, including cardiovascular monitoring. If there are no contraindications, induced emesis or gastric lavage should be considered. There are no data to suggest the utility of dialysis or urinary acidification or alkalinization in enhancing drug elimination. The physician should consider contacting a poison-control center on the treatment of any overdose.
PROVIGIL (modafinil) is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to modafinil, armodafinil or its inactive ingredients.

- Major life changes, such as death of a relative, assault, severe marital or relationship problems
- History of physical or sexual abuse, or bullying as a child
Psychological factors, such as:
- Low self-esteem
- Perfectionism
- Sensitivity to loss or rejection
- Inadequate social support
- Previous episodes of depression
- Chronic physical illness
- Heart attack
- Chronic pain
- Hormonal changes, including the postpartum period or menopause
- Anxiety
- Medications that can cause depression
- Alcohol or drug abuse
Have a Psychiatric Evaluation and Psychotherapy, If Needed
If you feel overwhelmed by stress or are experiencing symptoms of depression, see your doctor for a physical exam and mental health evaluation. You may be referred for further evaluation or counseling, if appropriate.
Develop a Strong Social and Spiritual Support System
A network of supportive relationships is beneficial for the prevention and treatment of depression. Supportive relationships serve as a buffer against stress, which can sometimes trigger depression.
A high level of religious involvement is associated with a reduced risk of depression. Spiritual faith in the context of organized religion can have a buffering effect on depression. In a group setting, it can provide the additional benefit of social support.
Reduce Your Stress
A variety of relaxation techniques can help you cope with stressors that may contribute to depression. Examples include meditation, deep breathing, progressive relaxation, yoga, and biofeedback. These techniques help you pay attention to tension in your body and release it with exercises that help quiet your mind and relax your muscles. You can also reduce stress by getting adequate sleep, rest, and recreation.
Exercise Regularly
Regular exercise helps you relieve stress and may help prevent or reduce depression. Aerobic exercise and yoga have been found to be particularly beneficial for reducing stress and improving mood. Aerobic exercise can raise the levels of brain chemicals that affect mood, such as endorphins, adrenaline, serotonin, and dopamine. Other benefits of exercise include weight loss, increased muscle tone, and improved self-esteem. Yoga provides the benefits of stretching and deep relaxation.
Get Treatment for Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Alcohol and drugs may contribute to depression. If you think you may have a substance abuse disorder, seek professional treatment.
Eat Healthfully
Eat a healthy diet that is low in fat, high in fiber, and rich in vitamins and minerals. A Mediterranean diet may be associated with reduced risk for depression. Specific dietary factors that may be beneficial in depression are the B-complex vitamins (found in whole grains) and omega-3 fatty acids (found in cold-water fish, fish oil, and flax seeds).
Get the Necessary Amount of Sleep
Get a reasonable amount of sleep (around eight hours) nightly. If you are suffering from insomnia, seek treatment since chronic insomnia is thought to be a risk factor for depression.

The man in the car thought that the drugged out naked man running in circles in the road was funny, that is until the man launched himself "ass first" at the victim's car. That's when it went from funny to scary.
A woman in Lipetsk, Russia, surprised neighbors and rescue workers alike when she was found on the stairwell of her apartment building buck naked with her head stuck between the stair rails.
In what may be a case of mistaken identity, mistaken address, or mistaken vial of meds, Seminole County Florida man Thomas Edwards reportedly showed up at his girlfriend's house to propose — except he was naked and it wasn't her house, and the man in the home, who summoned police, did not know Edwards.
You never really know your neighbors until you find them naked and hiding from the law in your dryer. With this in mind, the events of the morning of Wednesday, May 29, 2013, would prove enlightening for the folks who live near Morse and Hutton Streets in Linwood, Ohio.
They say that all stereotypes have some basis in truth or they wouldn't have evolved into stereotypes. So the drunken, naked arrest of FAU Iota Nu frat member and former chapter president Alex Fanaian, would seem to prove.
Residents of Newark, Delaware, can sleep easy knowing that police have apprehended the town's "Naked Man," as elusive as Bigfoot, but much more active. Police belive he is responsible for a series of streakings that started in 2011. The mystery man is believed to be Jason Grubbs, arrested on April 20, 2013.
Newport News, Virginia, cop Christopher Roush, 41, was arrested by his own department for allegedly standing naked on a porch.
You might not realize it, dear readers, but we here at the Crime Library tirelessly search the Internet each day to bring you the selection of compelling cases we do. So a case like this is for us truly a gift that makes the many offenses of other drugged-out, naked perpetrators seem lackluster by comparison — not that we're condoning any sort of competition.
Details are still emerging in the case of a Florida homeowner, who shot a nude assailant on his property, wounding him. Despite the bizarre circumstances, police have concluded that this is one "stand your ground" shooting that won't be challenged in court.
It was Christmas 2012, at about 1:30 in the afternoon and, luckily, The Ranch daycare center was closed and completely devoid of children when alleged naked-guy Brad Bell decided to take the tour.

Citi announced a slew of cost cutting measures today, all aimed at reversing the bank's declining revenues and getting rid of the sad trombone that plays on loop in the lobby. A ban on offsite meetings, mandatory use of both sides of the paper when printing, and the curtailment of color copies (which will be enforced by physically removing many of the building's color copiers, because apparently you can't be trusted*) are all on the list of behaviors that will no longer be tolerated. At first glance they come off as merely asinine rules that won't amount to jack. This assessment could not be further from the truth. In fact, we expect that they will contribute to the exact intended outcome senior execs at Citi are hoping for.
Look, Count Vikula isn't stupid. He's aware of the crippling adversity faced by Citi, and has come to terms with the fact that profitability and success are just not in the cards. Rather than spend the next few years beating around the bush as the stock drops to ten (two? whatever), he's decided to take the next few months to sink this thing and pack it in. While he could get Jimmy Cayne about things and get it over in a matter of weeks, Vikram is smarter than that and realizes that at the end of this folly, there'll be more loot in it for Vickie if he can't be held directly accountable for the bank's failure. Which is why he and the brain trust came up with the initiatives above, along with "no more computers," "no more for pay market data," "no new Blackberries," "no food," "no fun," in an effort to get all of Citi's employees to quit (let's be honest– they're not in it for the prestige). Then VP will shrug his shoulders and make a face as if to say, "Well I did everything I could," board the place up, and finally take over the role he tells friends and family he was born to play: Morgan Stanley CEO. (More on his plans for John Mack later.)

Spread a little Mayo on Citi, and they will look as good as new.
color copier have much liquidation value?

Subject: New Expense Policies and Procedures
Date: August 15, 2008
To: ICG Employees
From: John Havens
Cc: ICG Management Committee
Re: New Expense Policies and Procedures
Improving our cost structure and creating operating leverage in our business is an important part of our strategy for the Institutional Clients Group. The same effort and innovation that we apply toward building our business and growing our revenue must also be applied to creating a highly efficient and scalable cost structure.
As you know, we have spent considerable time looking at our headcount and related expense, and while we have made progress in that area, we still have more work to do. I recognize that the work around headcount has been challenging, and I appreciate all of your efforts.
It is equally important that we ensure that every dollar that we spend on third party goods and services is highly efficient. I ask each of you to carefully consider every expense that you incur and ensure that it is both necessary and in accordance with our policies.
To that end, I want to let you know about several new and important expense policies and pre-approval procedures which take effect immediately. These policies and procedures apply to all ICG employees and the functional support areas dedicated to ICG, in all regions.
Managing our expenses is not only a critical aspect of our strategy, it is also an important part of our jobs. Each of us must do our part to manage our expenses by challenging every dollar we spend to ensure that it is truly necessary and in compliance with our policies. The Management Committee and I expect everyone's full support for this important effort.
Thank you.
I. Expense Policies
Technology Related Purchases – As a general matter, our existing inventory of hardware and software is adequate to meet our operating needs. While
we fully intend to continue making strategic investments in technology to enhance our capabilities and competitiveness, we must not waste our available technology resources on the purchase of unnecessary hardware or software. As a result, all new purchases of hardware (e.g. PC's, laptops, printers, peripherals, etc.), software or any technology services will require pre-approval, and only those purchases that can be demonstrated to be absolutely critical will be approved.
Market Data – Over the coming months, we will conduct a comprehensive review of our market data services and related usage. Early analysis suggests that the level of market data services within ICG is above industry best practices. Therefore, I ask each of you who use market data to carefully review all the services you currently consume and cancel any services which are not absolutely necessary to perform your duties. Going forward, all new market data services will require pre-approval.
Blackberry Usage – We will also be conducting a review of our blackberry usage. In the interim, all new blackberries will require pre-approval. For any employee who is approved to have blackberry messaging, only one device will be eligible for reimbursement (i.e. no additional pager). A separate pre-approval will also be required to have the blackberry phone enabled. For any employee who is approved for reimbursement of a blackberry phone, that phone will be the only device for which reimbursement is permitted, and only necessary business related calls will be reimbursed.
Office Space, Moves and Furniture – Real estate represents a significant share of the expenses of ICG. Going forward, all requests for new office space, office relocations and/or expansions and lease renewals will require pre-approval. Additionally, office and workstation moves and furniture purchases will be limited to only those which are truly essential and will also require pre-approval.
Color Copying and Color Printing – The use of color copying and printing dramatically increases our copying and printing costs. Color presentations are unnecessary for internal purposes; therefore going forward color copying and printing should only be used for client presentations. Also whenever possible, presentations should be printed double sided to reduce unnecessary paper usage. Over time, we will be removing color copiers and printers from the locations where they are not essential for purposes of preparing client presentations.
Non-Client Travel and Entertainment:
Non- Client Travel – We previously asked that non-client travel be limited to trips which are truly essential. However, it seems that we are not consistently adhering to that policy. Going forward, all non-client travel will require pre-approval. As an alternative to non-client travel, I encourage you to make use of our audio and video conference capabilities.
Non-Client Offsite Meetings – We will no longer be holding "offsite" meetings for internal purposes. All internal meetings must be held in one of our conference facilities, in the location that has the greatest number of attendees or via audio or video conference.
Non-Client Corporate Events – In accordance with our existing policy, employees will not be reimbursed for non-client outings, summer parties or similar events. As we get closer to the winter holiday season, we will communicate with you regarding specific guidelines for holiday events.
Late Night Car Service and Meals – Each of our locations has specific policies regarding the use and reimbursement of car services and meals for employees who are required to work late. Here too it appears as though we are not fully following our policies. Going forward, it is our expectation that we will all strictly adhere to our car service and meal policies and only those expenses which are in compliance with policy will be reimbursed.
Non-Client Entertainment and Meals – Except with respect to employees who are traveling for business, we will no longer reimburse without pre approval any expenses for internal entertainment or meals with colleagues.
Training and Industry Conferences – The vast majority of training required to perform your job is available to you through our online training resources. As a result, external training will be limited to only that which is strictly necessary, such as that which is required for regulatory or compliance purposes. No travel expense should be incurred in connection with any external training. All external training and/or attendance at an industry conference will also now require pre-approval.
Client Events – We need to carefully evaluate our spending on client events and ensure that they are good investments of our limited resources. We will be working with the heads of each business to review all currently scheduled client events, including the list of proposed attendees (both client and employee) and total cost of the event (including any travel and client entertainment contemplated as part of the event). Going forward, all new client events will require pre-approval and any client event with an expected cost of $5,000 or more must be arranged through the Global Event Marketing department.
Temporary Employees, Contractors and Systems Consultants – We currently employ a very substantial temporary workforce. We will be conducting a detailed review of all of our temporary workforce engagements to understand more efficient ways to fulfill our needs. In the interim, all new temporary employees, contractors and systems consultants, as well as the replacement or extension of any such staff currently on board beyond the scheduled end of their current assignments will require pre-approval.
Management Consultants – Our current usage of management consultants is too high. Management consultants should only be engaged for those limited instances where a specific expertise which does not reside within our organization is absolutely required. We will be reviewing our existing engagements of management consultants to determine if there are more efficient sources to fill our needs. Going forward, all new management consulting engagements will require pre-approval.
Recruiting – The use of external recruiters will now require pre-approval. I am confident that we can be successful in satisfying the vast majority of our hiring needs through the use of low and no fee sources (for example job boards, employee referrals, etc.).
Professional Memberships – Reimbursement for membership in professional associations is limited to one per employee and only for memberships that are required for the performance of your duties and which have been pre-approved.
Purchasing & Procurement Services – Citi Procurement Services has established specific procedures for the purchase of all of our third party supplies, materials and services. These procedures must be followed in all cases. In addition, I remind you that none of us is authorized to contract on our own for any third party goods or services. All such contracts must be entered into through Citi Procurement Services.
II. New Pre-Approval Procedures:
The written pre-approval of Mark Rufeh, our Chief Administrative Officer, will now be required for all:
Technology Equipment and Services (Hardware, Software, etc).
Market Data Services
Blackberries and Wireless Devices
Office Space, Moves and Furniture
Temporary Employees, Contractors, Systems Consultants
Management Consultants
The written pre-approval of the respective ICG Management Committee Member for your business will be required for all:
Non-Client Travel
Training/Industry Conferences
Professional Memberships
Internal Entertainment
Corporate Events Over $2,500 (or the local equivalent spend)
The approval of Bruce Cohen or Diane Arber, our Senior Human Resources Officers, will be required for all Contingent Searches.
The approval of Hamid Biglari, our Chief Operating Officer, will also be required for all Retained Searches and Corporate Events over $10,000 or the local equivalent spend. -
"finance baller"– really? you read the reasoning behind the cost cutting on bb?
Citi went full retard…you never go full retard
Get rid of Robert Rubin for starters. Can someone please explain to me (in non-mayo parlance) exactly what he does?
Guess all the other groups besides ICG still have carte blanche though, eh?
Guess all the other groups besides ICG still have carte blanche though, eh?
Actually the thing is beautiful. Someone forward this to the 'class warriors' who claim that corporations are simply ripping money off of everyone else.
If you follow the number of different industries/folks who will be affected if lets say Citi were to not exist, it is quite clear that corporations are providing a livelihood to millions of people in diverse areas. You could create a similar supply chain for any corp, including the much reviled Exxon. -
I know you're kidding about no computers, but Citi is actually getting rid of PCs and moving to a "thin-client" model. Nobody has PCs or laptops anymore, they get thin-client boxes that access everything from a server.
@15– no, read the memo…it's an exaggeration but still kind of the gist.
10 — awesome
shades of Sandy Weill
aw youyouyou huhuhurt mememy feeelings
@11 I think they got rid of Rubin's pay yesterday. I could be mistaken but I heard something on CNBC yesterday about his comp.
Well played #10…!! Saw the movie last week. Well played sir!!
This is all laughing stock turf, here. Sure, just go ahead and stomp on those last few embers of morale you have left at the place. They should just be wholesale cutting the bureaucracy there, make a big cut of all non-revenue-producing positions, and see what the fallout is. What's killing these places is the trying to strategically leave "protected" areas less deeply cut, in case business bounds back.
citi employees count your blessings…over at LEH they have mandatory use of both sides of a thinner paper.
If they can keep the titty bar tabs under $5,000 it sounds like theey're home free.
Thank the man upstairs I don't work at CitiDump (or ShittyGroup, or CitiCrap whatever its called now-a-days)anymore. It was my first job out of school and I would have been better off patrolling the campus parking lot.
Why is Vik "waiting for people to quit"? Why doesn't he just fire a few? That would easily make up for color copies and that "both sides of the paper" numbness.
The Guy from Delaware -
@ 6 i'd rather meet you at the trendy bar you spend your daddy's money at and mop the floor with silk-shirted panzy ass.
@26 why arent you making white sauce with your right hand now?
that's *your* silk-shirted panzy ass.
@ 23
I believe citi also has this policy in place. Thats not the sort of thing you send out a mass e-mail about so they hired Larry Craig to sit in the next stall and tap his foot to remind you to flip it over. -
No, read the post – this is independent of what is going on in ICG -
@14 – Well said.
14 Yeah, most of whom are illegals. (Fetching food, driving black cars, cleaning up, making beds in hotel rooms).
Coal burns. Coal is momentary and coal is costly.
There will be no more coal burned in this office today, is that quite clear, Mr. Cratchit? -
@14 – Well said.
When they start mandating the reuse of the coffee filters and switch to the scratchy TP in the executive lavatories, then you know they're really in trouble.
@20 Per today's Journal, sounds like Rubin is still doing the same crap he was [not] doing, with a different title. He goes from Chief Doo Little to Senior Counselor – whatever that is? Probably changed his title so they don't have to disclose how much they're really paying this schmuck.
Perhaps Citi needs the coin to pay the fine for the charges of widespread theft of customer funds?
http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/2008/08/citigroup-settles-charges-of-theft-of.html -
You've got Indian as Count Dracula CEO.It's typical Indian way who are thrifty by nature.Indian sucks!
All the "savings" by this policy is going to amount to chump change. They'll saddle management with the chore of "pre-approving" relatively minor purchases and burn up employees' time with endless meetings about whether this expenditure is justified or that expenditure is justified. In time, the higher level people will get sick of spending their time on petty crap and delegate it to more junior people, and eventually the decision-making on color copiers will fall back to the level it belongs.
And someone will eventually note that it's hard to differentiate between six shades of gray on a bar chart.

Review: 'The Ides of March' Doesn't Amount to Much
Movie Reviews By Luke Mullen on October 7, 2011 | Be the First To CommentAudiences are no strangers to political films these days. While they usually have more of a thriller angle and focus on government figures already in power, there have been a decent number that follow candidates on the campaign trail and as such, any new film tackling old ground needs to make a conscious effort to distinguish itself in some way, to stand out from the crowd. Unfortunately, The Ides of March makes no such effort and seems content to languish in probable obscurity. The film is a character study following Ryan Gosling's Stephen Meyers, a whip-smart but naive young campaign staffer during his time working for Governor Mike Morris. Morris, played by George Clooney who also co-wrote the screenplay and directed the film, is a presidential hopeful, and the film takes place during his campaign to win the Democratic party nomination. Meyers is essentially the number two man on the campaign at only 30 years old working directly under campaign manager and political mainstay Paul Zara, played with zeal by the incredible Philip Seymour Hoffman. Their competition is technically a Senator Pullman (Michael Mantell), though the opposition is almost entirely represented by Paul Giamatti, who plays Pullman's campaign manager, Tom Duffy. Duffy and Zara are old school, both having come up around the same time, with Duffy seeming to have been in Zara's shadow to a certain degree. Duffy and Zara are hardened political guys, but Meyers is still idealistic, believing in a man who can truly bring change to the country. He's put […]

Created: 01/31/2014 5:26 PM KAALtv.com
By: Sean Boswell
(ABC 6 News) -- A recent study by the New England Journal of Medicine says kids who are overweight or obese at just 5-years old tend to stay that way into their teens.
"The more your muscles are strong, the more you're energized to do things," said JETS gymnastics coach Leonard Johnson.
Setting a tone for a healthy lifestyle may begin earlier than you'd think. In the study, which looked at nearly 8,000 5-year olds, almost 15% were considered overweight. Nearly a decade later, about half of those children are considered obese at age 14.
"With the junk food and stuff out there, and now with iPad's and phones and computers, kids get less and less activity because those become babysitting tools," said Johnson.
Johnson says parents play a big part in determining their kids' lifestyle.
"I've had a few of my team students where their parents just decided not to bring them because they didn't want to drive in the cold, that's tough when you're fighting the parents who don't want to go out," said Johnson.
"If you can set a good example by cooking something healthy, making a healthy snack and eating healthy yourself I think that's going to help in the long run with your kids," said Kelly Weiss, a dietitian at Hy-Vee.
Leading by example is important according to Johnson, allowing kids to explore health habits for themselves, will help in the long run.
"Creating dependency is really important, especially so that when they become an adult, they also have that same "I'm going to control my life, not let my life control me," said Johnson.
