CW World Cup Countdown. Day 14 - Pakistan
10 Mar 2007
Eddie Sanders
As part of a series of articles leading up to the World Cup, Cricket Web presents a daily review on the background, players and prospects a specific competing team, starting with the minnows and building up to the favourites. Today we feature Pakistan.
Benjamin Franklin was reputed to have said: 'Only two things in life are certain - death and taxes'. To those inevitabilities, it seems, can be added a third - controversy in relation to the Pakistan cricket team. Seldom can a side burgeoning with so much natural talent have had such a propensity for hitting the self-destruct button, but it hasn't always been so.
Oh, wait - yes it has.
Lead-up to the Tournament
Pakistan's run-up to the tournament has been long and full of incident. A comfortable whitewash against the West Indies in 2005 seemed to confirm Shahid Afridi as a true match-winning all-rounder with both bat and ball, but six months later events surrounding an impromptu mid-wicket Fandango in a test series against England saw him have to sit out the first two one-dayers. Despite this setback, Pakistan were rather more comfortable victors than the eventual 3-2 scoreline suggested.
Defeat at home to India in early 2006 was balanced out by a comfortable victory in Sri Lanka and they more than held their own in England, but this, sadly, was a tour overshadowed by further controversy. Greatly weakened by the absence of Inzamam-ul-Haq, Pakistan were hugely disappointing in the ICC Champions Trophy, and results since then have been largely overshadowed by drug allegations, bans, the overthrowing of bans, injuries real or alleged, and Hair problems.
Afridi maddeningly made the news for all the wrong reasons again recently when his remonstration with a spectator at Centurion Park went a little too far. His subsequent four-match ban sees him missing the first two World Cup group matches, one of which is a potential make-or-break opener against the West Indies.
On the eve of the 2007 World Cup, it is decidedly unfortunate too that the Pakistan Cricket Board once again find themselves embroiled in a bitter row, this time with Malcolm Speed of the ICC, over a knee, an elbow and two players who had been banned over a failed drugs test before being reinstated, but who now find themselves removed from of the squad because of ?fitness problems'. Harbouring a sense of injustice could work in Pakistan's favour if the rage is channelled, but equally it could completely overwhelm them if it isn't. Only time will tell.
Key Players
Shahid Afridi
If one man epitomises everything about Pakistan cricket, it is the mercurial Afridi. Outrageously talented with both bat and ball, he can be magnificently belligerent one moment and decidedly fragile the next. On the one hand a world record holder for recording a 37-ball century, on the other a chronic under-achiever whose typical innings lasts just 21 deliveries on average. His absence from Pakistan's first two group games, certainly from a batting perspective, might mean everything - or nothing. His leg-spin, however, has come on in leaps and bounds in recent years, and the notable bowling absentees from Pakistan's squad mean that he will be vital in this department.
The Pakistan captain's average of a little under 40 might well be on the wane in recent years, but he still retains the capability to dominate the middle stages of an innings. An extremely subtle and wristy batsman for one of such bulky physique, he can be quite destructive when the mood takes him, especially through the midwicket region. As the sands of time inexorably run down for the immensely proud leader, World Cup 2007 might well be his final curtain call. A first century for three years is not beyond him though, even at this late stage in his career.
Kamran Akmal
Successive centuries against England more than a year ago seemed to indicate that Kamran Akmal had arrived on the world stage as a potential match-winner with the bat. Since those heady days, a single fifty from his last 27 innings has not contributed enough to outweigh his frequent frailties when called upon to don the gauntlets. It is when keeping wicket that his most significant moments of World Cup 2007 might well arise. A plethora of dropped chances or missed stumpings could have far-reaching consequences. On the other hand, if the catches are held and the runs flow, Pakistan will benefit.
Mohammad Yousuf
The middle element of arguably the most talented middle order in One Day International cricket is not renowned as a flamboyant player; rather he is an extremely adept accumulator using what many consider to be 'old-fashioned' orthodox techniques. A round dozen one-day tons are scant reward for such a prodigious talent, but his record-breaking form in the longer version of the game indicates that there is much more in the locker. He is seen almost universally as captain-elect, ready to step into Inzamam-ul-Haq's boots when the big man decides it's time to hang them up.
In years gone by, Pakistan have traditionally been seen as one of, if not the strongest side with the new ball in one-day cricket, but the achievements of Waqar and Wasim are now distant memories. Recent events have conspired to deprive them of their latter-day spearhead, but in reality Pakistan have seldom threatened to bowl sides out of late. Afridi's leg-spin is a huge plus, both in terms of economy and taking wickets, but it is the top six in the batting order that accommodates the majority of the match-winners.
Pakistan's greatest strength, though, might well be the 'Millwall Factor', a sense of collective injustice that pulls them together into a cohesive force against all the odds.
Pakistan in the field are one of the least athletic sides that world cricket has witnessed in recent years, but it is far from their only weakness. In Kamran Akmal they have a wicketkeeper who can spurn the simplest chance - especially when he has time to think about it - and there is no natural backup glove man in the squad.
Pakistan's greatest strength over the last 15-20 years has been the balance of the side - a mix of swashbuckling batters, grafters, a high quality spin department and one, usually two, searing pacers. Although Mohammad Sami has been known to fire the odd rocket down, his better days have been as the foil to a firing-on-all-cylinders Shoaib Akhtar. The lack of a real talismanic spearhead leaves the attack looking decidedly threadbare.
Factors on the periphery of the game, coupled with how the side's reaction to them affects the often-temperamental Pakistanis, might well prove to be the biggest weakness of all though - on the other hand, it might not. See 'Strengths'.
Previous World Cups
A succession of semi-final defeats during the early years of the competition was followed by victory in Australia in 1992 when Imran Khan led Pakistan to a 22-run win in the final against perennial bridesmaids England. They reached the final again in 1999 but on this occasion were well beaten by an Australia side who were just beginning to dominate the shorter version of the game, although the result the world remembers from that competition was an ignominious defeat at the hands of lowly Bangladesh that caused tongues to wag. The last World Cup saw the weather intervene to wash out Pakistan's 'Group of Death' game against Zimbabwe in Bulowayo, a non-result that saw the Africans progress.

More Confessions Of A Nurse Who Compulsively Eats
Compulsive eating disorder, also known as binge eating disorder, is a distressful problem for millions of people in the United States. However, this affliction dwells in the shadow of less prevalent eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa. The purpose of this article is to shed some more light on compulsive eating disorder.
It's the beginning of another new year, so I'm going to discuss the topic of overeating. Since masses of people across America are making new years resolutions that revolve around weight control, I feel this is an opportune time to broach this issue once again.
To get everyone up to speed, I previously wrote a piece entitled Confessions of a Nurse Who Compulsively Eats, which described compulsive eating disorder (also known as binge eating disorder) and listed all of the signs and symptoms of this affliction.
After successfully losing 40 pounds during the early part of last year and getting down to a near-normal weight, I regretfully announce that I've regained 22 pounds over a period of eight months. My distorted eating habits returned with full force starting in May of last year and I never quite jumped back on the wagon. I feel disappointed and disgusted.
I plan to jump back on the wagon starting today. Before I implement this lifestyle change, I will make some more confessions with which many compulsive eaters and binge eaters can identify.
The compulsive eater's thoughts are preoccupied with food.
I visited a local zoo with my cousins at the age of nine. Honestly, I do not remember one single animal from that trip, but I clearly recall the smell and taste of the pizza that I ate from the snack bar. Sleepovers, birthday parties, and school lunches never really carried any social importance to me, but I remember with striking clarity the snacks and meals associated with these events.
The compulsive eater watches what (s)he eats while in public.
My former boss, an engineer whom I'll call Dan, weighed more than 400 pounds even though he conspicuously ate a cup of 100-calorie fat-free yogurt and drank bottled water at lunchtime every day in the cafeteria for many years. I strongly suspect he was a closet binge eater who ate copious amounts of food in the privacy of his home.
I watch what I eat in public to avoid attracting negative attention. In fact, the all-you-can-eat buffet is one of the only places where you'll witness binge eaters consuming multiple plates of food in the public eye. The typical binge eater packs a light, healthy lunch for public view (school or work) while eating large quantities of food in private.
Compulsive eating has a strong emotional component.
I'm usually not hungry when I'm compulsively eating. I go on food binges because eating feels comforting in response to unpleasant emotions such as sadness, anxiety, nervousness, anger, or jealousy.
I've gained and lost large amounts of weight over the years.
I will be 32 years old in a few weeks. During my adult life I've been as light as 115 pounds and as heavy as 216 pounds. I'm currently somewhere in the middle of these two numbers. The most I've lost is 60 pounds. The most I've gained is 100 pounds. Yo-yo dieting has been the story of my adolescence and adulthood.
I realize I will always have issues with food. Although I wish I could seek professional help for this problem and the rest of my underlying emotional issues, I'm currently uninsured. Millions of people in the U.S. are compulsive eaters, the majority of whom are acutely aware that something is very wrong. Overeaters Anonymous (www.oa.org) is a free and helpful resource. With proper help, compulsive eating disorder can be remedied.
I'll keep you all posted on my progress. I cling to the promise of a new year and will conjure up the confidence to change my thoughts, health, and life for the better.Last edit by Joe V on Jan 9, '15About TheCommuter, ASN, RN

4Jan 8, '13 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorMy previous article on compulsive eating disorder also describes the time in my life (middle childhood) when I first developed a distorted relationship with food. I was eating to block out emotional pain because I never properly learned how to address emotions. Eating was more comforting than feeling a range of emotions.

http://allnurses.com/nurses-recovery...ho-797301.html1Jan 8, '13 by multi10OP, Things that help from people I know: Get a dog. That pup will look in your eyes every morning; "Let's go for a walk!" You'll get up and take your buddy out to enjoy the morning air and the birds, trees, airplanes, flowers, whatever attracts you. You'll meet new friends. You'll definitely lose weight.
A morbidly obese friend went on "The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet." It worked for him because he found it easy. He lost over 100 lbs.catmom1 likes this.6Jan 8, '13 by herring_RN GuideMe too.
I was 9 years old when my Daddy took me to witness the vote to amalgamate the two Los Angeles musicians unions. No more segregated union for those musicians who had been friends and jammed together for years! I clearly remember the punch had too much water and the cookies were imitation, not real Oreos or Hydrox.
I'm still disappointed that in 1953 my grandfathers sister served us kids a big pile of boiled okra and told us we couldn't have any seven layer chocolate and raspberry cake if we didn't eat it all. I put one bite in my mouth and spit it back on the plate. It felt like someone had blown their nose on the plate.
No cake for me.
Every event I remember the food. I was six when my Mommy put a fried egg sandwich with sliced tomatoes in my school lunch. It tasted soooo good! Many times over the years I've recreated that sandwich. Now i grow tomatoes and eat them whole while hot from the sun.
We all looked forward to pancakes after church. I could go on and on.
I think there may be a genetic component. All my family loves food. We talk and argue about the taste of various onions and apples. All of us either struggle like you (and I) do or become unhealthy and obese. Except the cousin who is adopted. Even as a kid he didn't anticipate and remember foods like the rest of us. He likes to eat, but stops when he has had enough. He even pays attention to the presentation.
My mother had grown up during the depression when they didn't always get enough to eat. Love and food are all mixed up for us.
Even in our fifties and sixties we show love partly by cooking for each other. We just try to make it healthy.
Recently my sister made us all greens and black eyed peas for new years without the greasy meat. I made whole grain corn bread. We spent more time talking than eating. No lemon cake or sweet potato pie.
See - I could go on and on.4Jan 8, '13 by multi10We all recall the first time we tasted wonderful things as children: Cinnamon toast at my friend's house. Fried clams with tarter sauce on Cape Cod with my cousins. Crispy crinkly french fries with salt and ketchup after swimming. Crispy pizza at the bowling alley.
Now that we're adults, should we consume anything-and-everything at will? It's an individual choice.
I recognized early on that my Dad had a weight problem partly because of his sedentary job. I didn't want to become overweight, especially after watching the ridiculous measures and diets he went through, including one where my mother (a schoolteacher) had to weigh and measure his food.
I learned to pay attention to my cues of hunger and respond to them. Plus, I exercise every day. It doesn't involve the gym so much. I just walk, play with my dog, nothing drastic. I have a stationary bike that I use sometimes while watching TV.
No-one has to lose weight unless he or she wants to. Don't let other people pressure you. The idea and motivation has to originate from within whether it's for reasons of health or appearance.0Jan 8, '13 by Aongroup1990Food is so delicious so don't worry about gaining weight because you are young. Never feel ashamed to eat because women have huge appetites. Yes, food and overeating makes our worries go away and when we keep eating from stress then that is when a problem should be consulted by a nutritionist.4Jan 8, '13 by itsmejuli GuideGreat article, thanks for sharing.
I'm now 51 and the heaviest I've been in 10 years. This is all due to emotional eating and too much alcohol. Oh I knew what I was doing, I was fully aware of every delicious morsel of food and those yummy drinks. I didn't keep anything yummy in my home because I know that if its there I'll eat it or drink it.
But it was no problem for me to walk down the street and find food and drink.
Its so easy to pack the weight on. I watched my mother yo yo diet through the years. I lived thousands of miles away so when I did see her I never knew what size she'd be. I promised myself that I'd never be a yo you dieter like her. She'd pack on 30 lbs then lose it and pack it and lose it.
I started Weight Watchers on Jan 1 and so far I'm sticking to it.
But I have another vice...I'm a smoker. I'm sure if I wasn't a smoker I'd be an overeater and very heavy.
I'm hoping this year will be my year for a healthier me. One step at a time.
There are many good self-help articles at Psychology Today: Health, Help, Happiness + Find a Therapist2Jan 8, '13 by OnlybyHisgraceRNThanks for sharing. I can definitely relate. Last year I started a weight loss program that involved appetite suppressors. I did the program for about 2 and half months and loss 20 lbs along with exercise. I kept the weight off for a few months and now I've gained it all back by slipping into old habits. Ofcourse, being a newly wed doesn't help. My husband likes certain unhealthy snacks so we have them in the house, I have no control so I'll indulge also.
I think about food all the time, I'm constantly wondering when my next meal or snack is going to be. After binging I often feel sick. I'm an emotional eater so I too eat alot when feeling sad or depressed.
For the pass few weeks I've been going to the gym atleast 3x a week and drinking more water. I just need to get back on track. I refuse to be a fat wife or nurse. It is not fun at all.3Jan 8, '13 by multi10To itsmejuli: It's never too late to get healthy. One step at a time indeed. I admire your being on a plan to lose weight. Weight Watchers is an effective program and it works. As far as quitting smoking I have 3 friends trying to quit and one said that Chantix (sp?) and Wellbutrin helped.
My parents quit smoking together when they were in their 60's on their way to Italy. Mom never smoked another cigarette. My Dad lapsed a year later, but, this is the thing: His lungs were still a whole lot better for trudging around Italy and not smoking for a year!

How Quickly Does Sickness Spead In The Workplace?
A new study has found that sick employees will "contaminate" half of the total employees and surfaces in an office within four hours. University of Arizona microbiologist Kelly Reynolds targeted an office building of 80 people and gave 10 people a "surrogate virus," which infects bacteria but has no ill effect on humans. She was surprised at how quickly the virus spread: "It seemed like people were very isolated in their offices. But throughout the day, everybody tended to go to the bathroom at least once and they tended to touch one of the common areas." Flu and cold viruses can also survive up to three days on "porous" surfaces like wood and "grooved plastic." Using a tissue rather than hands when sneezing, as well as using antibacterial hand spray and wipes for surfaces, cut the spread of the virus by 90%.

Jaynie Mae Baker, The Smokebomb Side Kick Of The Soccer Mom Madame, Turns Herself In
NYP – The stunning online matchmaker accused of running an Upper East Side brothel with the alleged Hockey Mom Madam was hauled into court in handcuffs yesterday, but looked no worse for wear. Fresh from a sunny "get-away" on the beaches of Cabo San Lucas, Jaynie Mae Baker, 30, finally clicked into court in brown high heels, wearing snug tan slacks and with her strawberry blond hair falling in ringlets halfway down the back of her satiny pale blue blouse. She'd been a wanted woman for the last three weeks. Looking out of place with her hands cuffed behind her back, the Williamsburg resident was seated as she softly spoke the words "Not guilty" after a clerk read aloud the one count of promoting prostitution against her. According to her lawyer, Baker had been visiting her sister, Jessica, in LA and had no idea she was under indictment when she joined Jessica in leaving the States and flying to Cabo last week. Lead prosecutor Charles Linehan countered in court yesterday that news of Baker's indictment had already broken last week — in The Post — when Baker took her flight. "Without indicating that she fled, she did end up leaving the country and going to Mexico" after news of her indictment, Linehan said. But Gottlieb insisted Baker did not know she was wanted when she left for Mexico and turned herself in as soon as the schedules of airlines and prosecutors would allow."
Now this is what the fuck I'm talking about! Because the soccer mom ring leader of this whole thing:
Just ain't cutting it. Bitch looks like Stephen Hawking. When you think about a multi-million dollar NYC prostitution ring, you think about smokes named Jaynie Mae Baker. Not some butch pimp like Anna Gristina.
I think the sexiest part about this little red headed minx is that she does not give a fuck. Did you see on the news yesterday as she turned herself in? First of all she was just chillin in Mexico for like 3 weeks. "Didn't know" she was wanted. Yea, sure thing toots. Then she hops on a flight home, shows up at the courthouse with her Jew Weasel lawyer Gottlieb and within an hour she posts bail and heads home. She was in cuffs for like 30 seconds and I think they were toy cuffs. Meanwhile head honcho Anna Gristina is in fucking Rikers on $2 million bail. I don't know which judges or which district attorneys this chick fucked or what kind of dirt she has on the justice department, but Jaynie Mae Baker was walking around like she owned the joint. Bitch had so much prostitution swag it makes me think she's got pictures of Bloomberg's dick in her mouth. Whatever the reason is, I cannot wait for more details about this kinky little slut. More pictures are gonna surface. More whore stories are gonna surface. And the inevitable Lifetime made-for-tv-movie that comes out will be primetime non-porno jerk off material.

TUCSON - With the cold January mornings sticking around, you may be trying to stay under the covers as long as possible, or cranking your car heater to the maximum. Since that's the case, a few local businesses decided to join forces to motivate locals to get up and bike to work.
Valerie Aurora, one of the creators of the "back to work, bike to work challenge," teamed up with Spoke 6, the Watershed Management Group, and There and Back Bicycles, to help promote 2 Wheelin' throughout the month.
"I wanted a reason to get on my bicycle in January when it was really cold so I decided the best way to do that was to have a competition," Aurora said.
This is how it works.
"Each day that you bicycle into work, you get entered into a drawing for prizes at the end," she continued.
Additionally, every Wednesday this month, you can stop by Spoke 6 for free food and a place to work.
Tim Bowen, from Spoke 6, says everyone commuting with a bike is welcome.
"We're encouraging anyone who wants to come on by, have some breakfast check out the space and go on their way."
And Jared McFarland, didn't think twice about coming by.
"Free is awesome, you can't go wrong with free right? When they told me they were having a bike to work day, I was like cool of course ill be there," said McFarland
For the challenge, There and Back Bicycles also held a pancake breakfast this past week, and will hold the final prize drawing on February 9th. The prizes include a free month of work space and a gift certificate to There and Back Bicycles.
However, even more important for avid cyclist Emily Yetman, meeting other local 2 wheelers.
"It's fun to meet other people who are doing the same thing and it definitely creates a sense of community," said Yetman

Hello, my name is Diane Lombardo. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Music Therapy and have been working with the elderly for over 20 years. I specialize in working with the elderly with disabilities, especially Alzheimer's and it has brought me great joy spending time with so many wonderful people.
Providing fun therapeutic activities programs for the elderly population residing in Health Care facilities can often be a challenge.
As activity personnel, our pursuit involves juggling the many facets of our position; such as, lack of activity staff to assist with programming, diverse group settings and functioning levels, insufficient time for planning and preparation of programs.
Over the last 20 plus years in my capacity as a music therapist working with the elderly also involved creating an enriching catalog of therapeutic programs. My passion became to create my own games and resources that would accommodate large and small groups. Resources that were not difficult to lead, too costly or time consuming to plan, but yet engaging and therapeutic for the elderly.
It was this concept in which these games were developed for you...the activities director, activity therapist, program assistants, volunteers or anyone in charge of facilitating group activities for the elderly.
Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy your time getting acquainted with Music Bingo 1, Music Bingo 2 and Lucky Letters.

I have to do a small job for a lady that teaches first grade today, her last name is Horton. We had a giggle together on the phone last night when she called and I teased her about her name. Fun conversation. Eleanor quotes are always spot on. Having my cupa now and will soon be out there. |
Good morning, KJ! Eleanor was a wise Lady and Dr. Seuss knew a thing or two, and you are spot on with the cup of coffee - having my fist sip right now. |

Dr. Seuss is always fun and Eleanore Roosevelt is my favorite First Lady, she had more good sense then most people. Is having a cup of tea on my walk ok? I hope so. Discovered on my morning stroll that my front yard needs urgently a haircut. |
Jeepers, KJ! Were you walking in your garden at 23:53? No, that's when your quote was posted, but you still may have been out there in the dark! I hope you know I'm teasing you! Your quote is sound thinking, right along with Dr. Seuss and Eleanor. |
Thanks, Guys! mwheel----I LOOOVVE being in the garden at night----except sometimes when I'm walking home ---sometimes it's scary and I call DD on the cell phone and have her 'talk' me home! It really IS scary sometimes---especially in the late Summer, when the garden throws off her sense of decorum and goes just plain WILD and everything growing does exactly as it pleases and creatures make noises in the dark and it's all a wild party and I'm not invited. Pooey. and if anyone wants to talk about being scared of the dark---speak up!!! |

Hello there! If you're here for the American Crafts blog hop, you have just come from Heather's blog and seen her fabulous project. Today, I created a card & I have a fun challenge for you.
Supplies: #Heatwave Paper (366950)- #Summer, White (AC71259)- Cardstock, #Goodtimes Acrylic Stamps (366974)- #Summer, #Sunscreen Die Cut Cardstock Shapes (366971)- #Summer, Washi Tape (366839)- Plus One, Die Cut Cardstock Shapes (366849)- Plus One, Enamel Dots (366785)- Daydreamer, White Opaque Embossing Powder (27124)- Zing!
How to:
1. Cut a piece of white cardstock 4-1/4" x 11". Fold it half lengthways to create your folded card.
2. Cut the yellow #Heatwave paper to 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and adhere to the white folded cardstock.
3. Cut a piece of watercolor paper to 4" x 5-1/4". Stamp the sunglasses from the #Goodtimes stamp set six times with an embossing ink pad and cover with white Zing! embossing powder. Heat set using the Zap! embossing heat gun.
4. Color the background with watercolor paints. Wipe off any excess paint from the embossed surface of the sunglasses.
5. Attach three different rows of Plus One thin washi tape to the bottom of the colored paper.
6. Stamp 'Good Times' in black on the yellow tag from the cardstock shapes pack & cut to a pennant using scissors. Adhere to the ride side of the colored paper in the center.
7. Fill in the lenses of the sunglasses from the cardstock shapes pack with a glossy medium. Allow to dry, then adhere to the card under the yellow tag using dimensional adhesive.
8. Adhere the round cardstock shape from the Plus One cardstock shapes pack to the top of the yellow tag.
9. Add three enamel dots to the top right corner of the watercolored paper.
10. Adhere the watercolor paper to the center of the yellow patterned paper card front.
Your challenge based on this card is to create a background on your project using a resist technique like I did here with white Zing! embossing powder and watercolors. I can't wait to see what you create!
Your next step along the hop is Erin Stewart, but if you've gotten lost along the way, here's the master list. Happy National Scrapbook Day!

Plantation Shutters for Sliding Glass Doors
Are you thinking about investing in plantation shutters for sliding glass doors in your home? Plantation shutters are an excellent choice for doors and windows of any size, and because of their functionality they are particularly useful as window treatments for sliding glass doors. You'll have lots of options to choose from to match your décor and create a beautiful, unique look that you'll love for years to come.
Plantation Shutters for Sliding Glass Doors
Plantation shutters come in different styles and materials. First you'll have to decide how you want the shutters to function. While we carry a variety of plantation shutter styles, we most often recommend bi-fold panels for sliding glass doors. These will fold open revealing the entire door for easy access and visibility. We also offer by-pass shutters that are a good choice if you have limited floor space that make folding doors difficult. Once you figure out the functionality, it's all about look and style..
Hardwood Plantation Shutters
Danmer manufactures the finest hardwood plantation shutters made from Basswood and PHD (Premier Hardwood). Hardwood shutters offer a traditional and timeless look that will always be in style. Choose from 100's of framing options, finishes and color matching. These are truly plantation shutters for sliding glass doors that will last.
Thermalite Plantation Shutters
that you will love. Not only are they are guaranteed not to crack, warp or peel, these shutters are also energy efficient and will help lower your home energy bills by insulating up tp 3 times better than wood.. This means the warm air will stay inside in the winter and the cool air will stay in when it comes summer time.
Benefits of Plantation Shutters
You already know that plantation shutters are elegant and functional, but they have other benefits as well that you may not have even considered. Shutters offer the perfect blend of privacy, light control and temperature maintenance. Adjust the louvers to let in just the right amount of light and tilt them upwards for a bit of privacy as well. Or close the shutters all the way to minimize the amount of sunlight and air that passes through the doors which will keep your energy costs low. There are so many benefits in addition to how great they will look.
Investing in plantation shutters for sliding glass doors and windows in your home is a great idea. Find out more when you contact Danmer today.

Much like your wardrobe, a new season means it's time to swap out the whiskey and try on something a bit lighter.
Allow us to introduce you to your spring spirit of choice: sake. No, not in a sake bomb. If you have a college degree, you can have a cocktail.
The Chu-Cumber at Sushisamba Rio
Consider the Chu-Cumber cocktail Japanese Spirits 101 in a glass. It's made with not only sake (made from fermented rice) but also shochu (distilled from barley, sweet potato, or rice). The two are combined with gin and muddled cucumber, then served in a nori salt-rimmed glass. Sounds healthy, right? We tell ourselves that, too.
$12. 504 N. Wells St., River North (312-595-2300)
The Red Lotus at BellyQ
The Red Lotus cocktail is like a sake slushie, but do not give this drink to children. Seriously. Don't. The mixture of sake, yuzu, and cane sugar looks sweet with its plum basil seeds and sesame leaf garnish but it packs a boozy uppercut. Which is to be expected with a name like Red Lotus.
$10. 1400 W. Randolph St., West Loop (312-563-1010)
Dragon's Milk/Frozen Pond at Sumi (pictured)
Start on the ground floor with a bottled cocktail called Dragon's Milk (vodka, cucumber, mint, nigori sake, white pepper and lime). Then move downstairs to Charcoal Bar, where the expert bartender will shake up a Frozen Pond made with Buddha's Hand vodka, nigori sake, vermouth blanc, grappa, and hopped grapefruit bitters.
$12-14. 702 N. Wells St., River North (312-988-7864)
The Sake Menu at MANA
This vegan restaurant has devoted an entire section of their drink menu to classic cocktails made with the Japanese spirit. From refreshing sake combos with coconut water and lime to a cucumber margarita spiked with sake, MANA has a combination to please even the most hesitant palate.
$8-9. 1742 W. Division St., Wicker Park (773-342-1742)

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Darling!
Facts about Darling
- Breed: Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Darling's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
This is a courtesy listing if interested in this dog please e-mail or call firstname.lastname@example.com or 818-225-7815 and ask for Vera
Darling is a chihuahua terrier mix and she is 2 1/2 years old and weighs about 10 lbs. Very sweet great with other dogs. Updated on all my shots, microchipped and spayed.
Other Pets at Adopt Me Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Darling, a Studio City Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Chihuahua for sale in Studio City, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Studio City.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Studio City already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Studio City breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Chihuahua breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Studio City paves the way for another one to be saved.

We've decided that is the best way to make use of the space, and while I see that it will be efficient that way, I'm not sure how easy they will be to use once stacked. We didn't get a base although after using them for awhile, I can see where it would be nice not to have to bend so low to get the clothes out of the washer. But do stacked units use the base? If so, is the dryer too tall for a 5'2" person to push the buttons? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are stackables (because I looked into them) that have the controls on the bottom of the top machine, rather than the backsplash or side. Just do a little research (they're standard brands, not custom) and you should find lots. |
I just bought some and the controls are at the top. |
Let us know how you like them. I've thought about getting some, but wasn't sure if they are easy to access or not. Sandy |
I have the one piece unit. I am tall (5'11") and I just got tired og bending over to look into the dryer. I hesitated about changing to a one piece, but I really like it. |
I have the LG Trom. One of the reasons I picked this set was the controls can be mounted top or bottom. Washing controls at top, dryer on bottom. No charge and ready when they are delivered. My old set was a Kenmore, but even then the controls at top never were a problem. I'm 5'3 and shrinking. Do have to stretch a little to peek into the dryer bottom for little bits of laundry. I'd check on the weight the bases would hold. Not sure I've ever seen them with the units stacked. It may be possible as the dryer really isn't that heavy. But your dryer would be raised another foot. I'm guessing you already have your units. The thing I miss is no folding area with them stacked. It was great side by side. There are two pantry cupboards floor to ceiling on both sides of my stacked units now. One hides the hot water tank, it is open in the back and has a lot of room for air flow. I added a folding table on a door which I can drop down when not in use. This old house would not have had room for two units side by side unless the hot water tank was moved. It eludes me how small the units must have been in past as a norm. What extra room are you trying to utilize? If I could go back to side by side, that is what I would do again for the folding area available. And put cupboards overhead. |

My mom got the one-piece stackable unit from Lowe's. It's got the washer with the lid on the top and the dryer above. It's just her...and she loves it :) It gives her a lot more room for storage (and to hide the kitty box) where the drier would normally be. |
emagineer, we are going to build a tall cabinet beside it to make up for the overhead cabinet. I never fold in there anyway. It's the laundry room which is now the laundry hallway, lol. We need to move the upright freezer in there, which means the washer & dryer have to upright as well. Most of the units we looked at in the stores were already stacked, and there is a stack kit, so I know that the weight isn't an issue. I can just envision opening the dryer door and pulling it on top of myself though. |
- Posted by shades_of_idaho (My Page) on Fri, Aug 6, 10 at 22:28
I wish DH had not even bought a dryer. I rarely use it. I too am thinking of all that wasted space it takes up. Kitties use the top to dine on. So I guess I need a dryer. LOL Sorry no idea on the stacking sets. I have never even been near one to know about them. I did get close to the machines with the bases on them and to me it was yuck. But my washer is top loading so that would make a huge difference. Chris |
The dryer is locked well into the top of washer. You shouldn't worry about anything falling over. Enjoy your new experience. |
Chris, I don't use my dryer much either. Yesterday it rained and when it started I thought "oh no, I have sheets that need to be dried", and then I remembered I have a dryer. lol |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Sat, Aug 7, 10 at 16:58
I have the Frigidaire Laundry Center. It is built as one unit, and it has only ONE plug in, and it is a very nice efficient front loading washer using the HE (high efficiency) detergent. The controls are at the bottom of the dryer unit. There is a small level surface at the junction between the two halves, and I can put some stuff there. The tub is not as large as the top loaders, but we wash more often and don't have humongous loads. The water consumption is VERY little. Think about a large washer using 34 gallons of water per fill to wash, 34 gallons to rinse, and you get an idea of the savings with this front loader. It is also energy star qualified. And when it spins (2 speeds are possible), there is very little water left. Sometimes I cannot tell if I've washed them yet, or if they were just like a damp towel from being USED. Anyway, they all dry quickly and that means less power consumed. I've had this unit for going on 2 years now, and it is still marvelous to use. With smaller wash loads, you don't need to have as large a folding area. And you don't mind having small loads to really give special care to finer clothing items. I am 5'5" and I have no problem with reaching the dryer. All controlls, like I mentioned, are about eye level or slightly lower. I also don't mind leaning down to put the clothes into the washer or take them out. I think the bases are totally unnecessary, and they are a FAD. Just like the colored appliances are. I like my laundry WHITE, and the bathroom fixtures WHITE, and the kitchen appliances all STAINLESS. In small homes, those large appliances are out of place, out of scale, and appear to give importance and status to a totally utilitarian CHORE. Put your money to better use. AND your limited space. |
I think the colors are a fad too, and people will be sneering at them in 20 years just like they do turquoise and pink ovens. Remember when almond appliances were THE color? lol I like white everywhere; I don't think it will ever go out of style. |
- Posted by shades_of_idaho (My Page) on Sat, Aug 7, 10 at 22:47
ML Very good point on being able to do the smaller loads. I often use my small load setting when I do not want to mix colors. I have a great pull out drying mounted on the wall I use a lot. The sheets are the only thing hard to dry in the winter when i can not use my clothes line. Chris |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Sun, Aug 8, 10 at 11:42
Shades, I'm glad you mentioned the pull out drying thingy. Up north, I have one in the basement. But not a pull out. It is a 5 foot wide by 5 foot high rack with I think 8 drying ropes (whatever you call them). I like to use it because there is always a dehumidifier in the basement, and it gets these clothes dry without running the dryer. That includes sheets and other large items. I generally dry blankets in the dryer with some softener to avoid static cling. There are all kinds of pulley systems set up for clothes lines and a reel with line on it to pull out and hook on the opposite wall, up high in the basement, can do wonders for drying sheets and such. It is something I would not mind since the basement is such a utilitarian place to begin with. The only other function besides utilities is the room where my granddaughter and I go to PAINT and have fun together. I even paint furniture there. |
I used to have a stacking w/d, I really didn't like using it. I cut my eye lid while unloading the washer, when I stood and ran into the dryer door latch! I find using the dryer and washer tops useful for moving laundry around, so I like the side by side. |
We have stacking Whirlpool Duet Sport units and I love them. They are not mounted on anything, just sitting on the floor and so the dryer is not too high for me (and I'm short!). We have them installed in the trailer we're living in now while we rebuild our home and will be moving them over to the new place and stacking them there too. Would highly reccommend these units! I have also had the one-piece type stackable unit and that one is fine too. |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Sat, Aug 21, 10 at 21:52
We had the Whirlpool stacking units in the river house, they were really new. And then that salt water from Hurricane Katrina destroyed them and every other new appliance I'd bought. Sigh.....I truly enjoyed using them. Seemed to me the washer would turn pockets inside out spinning water out of the wash. Loved both units. |
johnmarie, thank you for the picture. I'm also 5'2" and anything above the first shelf in the cabinet above the washer is out of my reach, so I understand what you mean. |
- Posted by mama_goose (My Page) on Sat, Aug 21, 10 at 23:14
LOL, this thread reminds me of the stacking W/D my DH and I had the first year we were married. The dryer sat on a metal stand, above the washer. To do laundry, we rolled the washer over to the bathroom sink, attached the hose to the faucet, and filled the drum with water, laundry and detergent. Then set it to wash, came back and drained it into the tub, repeated the process to rinse (several times), and then set it to spin. And they called it an 'automatic' washer! My DH keeps half his wardrobe on top of our dryer, so we need the side-by-side (more closet space for me.) ;) |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Sun, Aug 22, 10 at 11:26
MamaGoose, Sears made a small washer dryer set, you could buy them individually, and they had an optional "stacker" you could buy and use to stack the two appliances. The dryer was very light weight, and it was run on 110 power, a regular plug would do. I had such a stacked setup at MoccasinLanding. I think they called them "apartment sized." Very compact. |
- Posted by wantoretire_did (My Page) on Thu, Sep 2, 10 at 17:12
johnmari - We are buying a doublewide manufactured home soon, and I was going to go with the all in one Frigidaire front load washer/dryer so I could have a little "flat space", but just read some very unfavorable reviews. Need the extra space to put a small freezer in the laundry room, and are now thinking about the Frigidaire stacked like yours How is it for you, having no flat space? |
Wanto...My laundry area is open to the kitchen (PO took out wall), units stacked and cabinets are ceiling height on both sides. There really isn't a folding area. Although I did put a unit of hooks at the top of a side door for hangers and a small drop down table top is attached on same door. This works for a couple of loads, if I go beyond two then I'm expand to the kitchen counter. So, in reality I don't have a folding area either. Many people tell me they fold on their bed, or the couch while watching TV, I've tried and it just doesn't happen. Am still wishing for a folding area, just won't happen due to the layout of room. |

In the three months since the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, daily coverage of the gun issue has become as predictable as a Hollywood script meeting. In fact, when it comes to most writing about guns and Congress, it is easy to conclude that there are only two styles of narrative—the emotional or the narrowly political.
Emotional: A recent tear-stained USA Today story about a Senate gun-control hearing began, "The father of a 6-year-old killed in last year's Connecticut elementary school shooting wept as he urged a Senate panel Wednesday to pass legislation to prevent another gun massacre." Equally wrenching was a Reuters dispatch earlier this month with the lede, "Former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, returning to the site of the shooting rampage where she was gravely wounded, on Wednesday urged senators to 'be courageous' and support background checks for all gun buyers."
Political: When bipartisan Senate negotiations over enhanced background checks between Democrat Chuck Schumer and Republican Tom Coburn broke down earlier in March, the Washington Post article included polling data showing that nearly 90 percent of voters support regulating sales at gun shows. Yet in its story, Politico theorized that, as a result of the impasse, the only proposal likely to win approval this year was a gun trafficking bill. That legislation, Politico explained, "is seen as far less important than the background checks proposal yet much easier to pass."
Missing from these stories—and dozens like them—was policy context. Gun-control proposals are ranked based on the ferocity of likely opposition from the National Rifle Association rather than on the legislation's potential ability to save lives. As a result, readers get the sense that an assault weapons ban would reduce gun violence more than expanded background checks, which in turn would be more effective than gun trafficking legislation. But this rock-paper-scissors hierarchy is entirely based on politics (what might pass Congress) rather what might prevent another massacre in an elementary school or movie theater.
Reporters on the gun-control beat often failed to offer evidence to suggest how many of America's roughly 30,000 gun deaths per year would be prevented if any of these bills passed Congress—no way to judge or compare their value. Imagine if press coverage of the sequester never revealed that $85 billion in arbitrary cuts were at stake. Or if news stories on the withdrawal from Afghanistan forgot to mention that more than 2,100 American military personnel have died in that theater since 2001. Statistics like Congressional Budget Office cost estimates and think-tank calculations are a staple of policy debates in Washington in virtually every other arena other than gun legislation.
Granted, reliable statistics are hard to come by when it comes to firearms—in part because the NRA remains so adamantly opposed to effective record-keeping. As Slate acknowledges in its ongoing attempt to calculate the carnage since Newtown, "It seems shocking that when guns are in the headlines every day, there's no one attempting to create a real-time chronicle of the deaths attributable to guns in the United States." In a surprising and laudable article that led the March 10 Sunday edition of The New York Times, Sabrina Tavernise and Robert Gebeloff reveal that, based on academic polling, gun ownership in America appears to have dramatically declined in the last four decades. The Times reporters concede that "detailed data on gun ownership is scarce" and note that the Gallup poll shows a higher ownership rate and a more moderate decrease over time.
Still, the fragmentary nature of information on guns is not a valid excuse for fact-free journalism. There are available clues that reporters could seek out suggesting the practical limitations and possible results of popular forms of gun control legislation.
Take background checks. Buried in an invaluable Congressional Research Service report from last November is the fact that 1.6 million would-be gun buyers flunked federal background checks mandated by the Brady Bill from 1998 to 2009. Gun-control proponents probably see that as an impressive figure. Skeptics might note with equal validity that 98 percent of Americans who wanted to purchase firearms passed federal muster. What remains unknown is what the 1.6 million rejected gun buyers (mostly felons and those convicted of domestic violence) did next. Did they head for an unregulated gun show? Obtain an illegal firearm? Borrow one from a friend? Or simply abandon guns all together?

COMP248 Language Technology
Note that this unit will use Moodle instead of WebCT/Blackboard. During the first lecture and the practical exercises of the second week we will demonstrate how to use it. To login to Moodle, use the username and password of the Computing PC lab.
This is the home page for COMP248, Semester 2 2008. This page is publicly accessible and links to the unit outline and the unit pages on the University's Blackboard/WebCT course management system.
We assume that students will regularly check the online information available here, where lecture notes, tutorial and practical questions, assignment descriptions and other related materials can be found.
This unit provides a broad introduction to the kinds of applications that are developed within the field of Natural Language Processing, and the techniques and algorithms required to build these applications. Students acquire both theoretical background and practical experience in processing the syntax and semantics of natural language. The practical skills gained are put to use in the development of a chatterbot, a Prolog-based natural language system, and a speech application; generic skills utilised include the ability to communicate the results of these practical applications, and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary area.
This unit is part of Macquarie's undergraduate program in Language Technology.

Enjoying the luxury of slumber in your summer vacations? Well you better wake before you find yourself in a state of horror and terror with murders, blood shed, robbery, rapes, abductions etc. taking place all around without any police support or medical service or any other aid and help. Shocked? Well you be even more shocked when you will watch The Purge movie online for free on the internet. But chill, it is just a movie not a reality.
Still confused and surprised? Well before you download The Purge movie online for free free on the internet and actually set to watch this film, let me tell you the upcoming movie, The Purge is a science fiction which tells story of future. Belonging to the category of science fiction, mystery, horror and suspense the movie tells the story of a family victim to a new but horrifying future law in the United States of America.
So when we watch The Purge movie online, we are taken into the United States of America in the future times of the year 2022. The picture we see is of a prosperous nation with the lowest crime ratre of all times and places and the lowest unemployment rate. Now you must be thinking, what's so wrong about this positive state, why so much hue and cry? Well the picture is not as bright as it seems.
As you download The Purge movie online for free on the internet and watch the movie in your free time, you will get to know that despite such great statistics, the state has a horrifying law. On the night of March 21 every year for 12 hours from 7pm to 7 am, one can rob or kill anyone without facing any legal action. This because every year on the same night State legalises all criminal activities and suspends emergency services like police and hospital to let people purge all their pent up emotions and feelings.
Starring Adelaide Kane, Edwin Hodge, Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Max Burkholder, and Tony Oller, the movie tells the story of James Sandin and his family who falls victim to the rage of a group of strangers incurred on account of giving shelter to a stranger chased by monsters on the fateful night of March 21.

Tom Jones
Packed full of saucy wenches, indulged aristocrats and pompous hypocrites, Tom Jones is a highly entertaining romp played out with just the right amount of bawdy humour.
Simon Greeves and Sarah Kelly in Tom Jones at the Lion and Unicorn, London Photo: Clare Walsh Imaging for Giant Olive Theatre
At the centre of the action is Simon Greeves in the title role - convincing as the charismatic hero, but with an almost distracting resemblance to comedian Lee Mack.
Although all the cast members are strong and have their work cut out with quick and continual costume/character changes, Kate Mounce in particular is outstanding in a diverse quartet of roles. One minute she is a comic delight as the sour old maid Miss Weston, the next she is domineering and flirtatious as the terrifyingly forward Lady Bellaston. Her versatile performance just goes to show what a talented actor can achieve and her impressive command of accents helps her convey the distinction between the characters even further.
In the newly-renovated setting of Kentish Town's Lion and Unicorn Theatre, Giant Olive seems to be upping its game in line with the improved surroundings. Edward Kingham's knowing asides as butler Fielding work well at drawing the audience in and Ross Ericson's countless comic episodes as an array of guises see him frequently embarrassed and occasionally naked.
It's not exactly good, clean fun - rather it is jolly, cheeky, deliciously smutty and a very good giggle.

Joy M. Oakes, Senior Director, Mid-Atlantic Region |
Matt Elliott, Delaware and Pennsylvania Program Manager Matt came to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Office in November of 2013 after ten years advocating for cutting-edge policies to cut air pollution, promote renewable energy, and protect open spaces. He has worked with both Republicans and Democrats in New Jersey and in Washington, D.C. to enact sensible environmental safeguards. Among his achievements, the NJ legislature approved—and Governors Corzine and Christie signed—a suite of bills that will power one-third of New Jersey's homes with clean, renewable energy by 2025. Matt successfully contested new coal and gas-fired power plants in New Jersey that would have brought more pollution to towns already burdened with unhealthy air. As someone who spent his formative years growing up in the Adirondack mountains, Matt knows the value of pristine open spaces. And as a resident of Philadelphia, he knows and appreciates the value of historical sites, national landmarks, and urban escapes. He is an avid hiker and enjoys photography.

I have recently brought an old cycle off a friend as i'm starting out tri racing and i didn't want to splash out on a new bike if i don't like triathlon, it has campagnolo gearing with mirage ergo shifters, a veloce rear deraillier and a 9 speed cassette. The issue that i'm having is that when i'm shifting gear the largest 4 gears shift very well but then for about the next 3 cogs the chain clicks as if not located properly. I've had a little tinker with the tension of the cable and this just takes the issue from the original cogs to the previously ok ones, all spacing between cogs is equal so i can't see why the shifting isn't constant, has anybody got any advice as to what could be causing this and remedies if anyone has any.
This might help
Kanga (M.) wrote (see)
Or this, although FB may differ ...
Beavis wrote (see
Many thanks for everyones help, i've been informed on a different forum that i may want to check where the cable is clamped on the derraileur i.e. above or below the bolt, as it should be below the bolt, i changed the cable a few days ago and i had routed it above the bolt, i've rectified this and the issue has gone away
popsider wrote (see)
Like Nicko says could be a number of things - I'd add worn/gunged up/poorly routed cables to the list of possibles.
Nicko. wrote (see)
usefull link - thanks nicko
I'm greatful for your help and i did check the routing was correct (to my knowledge) it's just that the other forum specified the bolt / cable combination as this is something that i would of never thought of.

My father & I were having a discussion about whether a 1099 independent contractor is responsible for paying their own social security (FICA) tax on their annual income tax (1040). He says, "no" & I say that you do have to. If I'm correct, is the percentage the 7.65 like you'd pay as an employee or is it double that since you don't have an employee to match it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Nancy_in_Mich (My Page) on Sun, Aug 15, 04 at 0:03
Yes, you do pay it. It is called Self-employment tax and you pay all 15%. But you get to deduct half of it from your gross income. See schedule C. |
Nancy is correct. I've owned a business & you do have to pay the entire 15%. The form for reporting it is Schedule SE. You deduct the 1/2 that you pay on Line 28 of your 1040. |

Some mascara can be to wet, clumpy and dry up the day after you open them. However, there are few that are must-haves, and for me, Clinique's High Impact Mascara tops the list. The mascara has a long brush to evenly coat each lash and does not clump even after applying two coats. It is a perfect everyday mascara that can easily be worn at night by adding another layer to give your lash extra volume.
Not only does the product add volume to the lashes it gives them length too. Clinique has created mascara that can give you a natural false lashes look; is that even possible?
The mascara formal is lightweight and will not make your lashes feel thick and stuck together. Also, the product can be removed with a single makeup remover without leaving behind any excess product.
The High Impact Mascara retails for $16 and can be found at most beauty supply stores, as well as Clinique.com.

Quoted from TJ If you could give me the reader's digest version that would be very nice.
Quoted from yaeli Here is The QuackWatch version. Here is again the Terra-Medica version.
Quoted from ruthiegirl The fatigue could be from healing. Your body is working hard to heal and detox, so there's little energy left over for anything else.
Quoted from TJ My NAP order arrived today. The Intrinsa only says to take two capsules twice daily. Does anyone know if it's better to take with, before, or away from food?
Quoted from ABJoe Ditto!!! Sometimes we have to realize that the body needs to take a time-out. Some time-outs are longer than others, as well... It depends on how much healing needs to be done and how much of the body is affected. I know how hard it is to accept that you can't do what looks "normal", but sometimes, you just have to let the body control the pace. I think you'll be better for it...
Quoted from Chloe This is my personal experience and I don't know if there's a right or a wrong way to take Intrinsa, but I get my best results taking it 20-30 minutes before a meal....empty stomach, a full glass of water.
Quoted from JJR I would wait on the intrinsa. If you're already detoxing, it will further that process. You sound like you need a break. But that's just my opinion.
Quoted from TJ I forgot to add: I bought some nutritional yeast flakes today. It makes my lips and tongue tingly and gives me the familiar pre-migraine headache. I should have left it on the shelf.
Quoted from TJ I'm not eating much, and I don't want much. I'm sleeping a lot, but that's nothing new. Except for that one time a couple of weeks ago, I'm getting a lot of rabbit-pellet-looking stools. I'm going tomorrow to get my shots and to buy some more Constant Health. I'm thinking about buying a bottle of the Probiotics-16 they sell, and to take that and the Polyflora together.
Quoted from ABJoe The B vitamins can cause tingling. It may be an indication that you were really low and now are bringing the level up... In spite of the symptoms, the NY has helped me quite a bit... I don't have any healing without pain, etc., so I've just come to accept that as a given. The more pain, the greater the healing for me...
Quoted from Dianne TJ - what about using some magnesium? I use Now brand mg citrate : you have to figure the amount. 1 tsp in the a.m. and then at bedtime for a few days & then I changed it to 1x daily and sometimes 1/2 tsp 2x daily. But it works great. No more constipation!!!
Quoted from JJR Hey TJ, my wife was telling me about an Article in HSLDA where one of the workers there, I think one of the head guys has Lymes Disease. And his whole family has it. Guess where they're from? NC.

X-MEN DESTINY Details Revealed! 3DS Region Locked! And How Much Are Those Games?!
Today is a very special day. Why, you might ask? Well, because Tara had a post devoted to her on 4chan last night! Whether this is the pinnacle or the nadir of our lives, we're excited - so excited that we've brought you another episode full of great news. Like all legitimate news programs we start out with a retraction of some of Monday's lies, then move on to indie game Amensia: Dark Descent making some money, take a stop in the jail to talk about Wesley Snipes' new game called JULIUS STYLES, and of course spend time talking about the 3DS. The latest news is that the 3DS will be region locked, dissuading potential importers, and that the games will cost 49.99. Ouch.
Destructoid show episode 38 - get yer cape ready!
Story #1 - Amnesia Dark Descent has sold over 200,000 copies. Super-scary downloadable game Amnesia: The Dark Descent has officially sold over 200,000 copies, and in turn saved developer Frictional Games. Good job, guys.
Story #2 - Wesley Snipes making a game from jail. Apparently it's called JULIUS STYLES, and will be available in the app store. The game also promises to pit your "street knowledge survival skills with your academic intellect and spiritual intuition."
Story #3 - Gamestop tentatively prices 3DS games at $49.99. It's far from a confirmation, but Gamestop has priced the lead 3DS games at 49.99. How do you feel about this price point?
Story #4 - 3DS may also be region locked. Another unconfirmed 3DS story, but one that is just as painful: rumor has it that the 3DS will be region locked, meaning you'll need a Japanese 3DS to play Japanese games, and so forth. So much for importing one.
Story #5 - x-Men Destiny first details revealed.Silicon Knights, the developers of Too Human, have been coy about details surrounding their next game, X-Men Destiny. Today we got the first bits of information, and, well, we're skeptical. How say you?
Story #6 - Champions Online goes free to play on January 25th. Perhaps to stave off the effects of DC Universe Online, the Cryptic developed, superhero-packed MMO is going free to play on January 25th. Will you join the fight?
Also, you guys don't give us nearly enough love on iTunes. If you like the show, won't you head over to our iTunes page and give us a rating? It'd sure be swell.
By the way, the new year means a new set for us here at the Destructoid show! We've been working hard behind the scenes to get the set ready in the next couple of weeks, but we need your help. Do you have any awesome video-game related knick-knacks or memorabilia? Send them to us and we'll hang them on our set! We're kind of going for a TGIF-type vibe, except cool. Find out more at Destructoid.com. If you think you might have something we'd like, send an email to zac AT revision3 DOT com, and become a part of Destructoid show lore.
Want to get involved in the show? Have any amazing ideas for stuff we should cover, or have a very special private video blog you want to share with the world? Follow us on twitter at @Dtoid and email the show at show at destructoid dot com. You can keep up with everything Max and Tara are up to by following them twitter at @maxscoville and@taralongest You can also check in to Destructoid's livestream at justin.tv/destructoid for a constant source of video game hijinks.
Destructoid and Revision3 are teaming up with charity:water to provide clean water to communities in need. If we're able to reach our goal of $5000, we'll be able to build a well that can serve an entire village. Join the fight at revision3.com/charitywater and help make a difference.

As a personal trainer, I get many questions involving fitness and wellness. I enjoy answering them to the best of my ability. I believe this one is worth mentioning in this article because we all can relate to this circumstance from time to time.
I was counseling one of my clients who was having problems getting motivated to workout due to stress at work. She seemed to be using food as a source of relief. I simply told her that she is not using the stress of work to her advantage.
Sometimes its just hard to change your circumstances at your job, but once you get off work there are ways to alleviate stress so you don't come back to work the next day crazy. Instead of running to your refrigerator for comfort foods get in some workout clothes and head right for the gym.
When you get there try the following…
When you are warming up, (via treadmill, elliptical, jump rope, or stretching), I want you to start visualizing a past experience that made you completely irate before working out. I'm not talking about a bad break up or something too emotionally deep. I'm talking about a person that made you really want to beat them up, but the intellectual in you kept you from doing it. It could be a horrible boss, a nagging employee or an old school mate that successfully embarrassed you and you could never return the favor. When you finish your warm up, use all that visualization and energy in your work out.
When you begin your training routine visualize and parallel all of your moments with fighting. I want you to think of every curl as a punch to the belly. Every squat is a dropkick to the mouth. Every push up is a swift knee in the booty. I guarantee your workout intensity will increase. Two things will happen as a result. You will have had a great work out and you will also have exorcised some demons. You will even start to find those past incidents funny, most important you are getting in shape and relieving stress, instead of "pigging out."
Take it from me, the gym has been a sanctuary of stress relief for years and in my mind, there are thousands of foes lying unconscious from the whoopin' I gave them. I challenge all of you to try this out. When you come back to work the next day the external stress may not have changed, but your ability to change how you look at it and handle it will improve dramatically.
You don*t have to be a fighter to feel like one. So lets train!
