Regular readers will recall a recent post asking whether the reason that some people lose weight with exercise is that it helps them reduce their caloric intake (e.g. by improving mood, reducing stress, improving self-esteem, promoting sleep, etc.).
I also noted that, if this was indeed the reason behind any 'exercise-related' weight loss, then it probably does not matter how many calories were actually burnt as long as the amount of exercise was enough to positively influence ingestive behaviour.
A recent article, published by Jean-Philippe Chaput (Ottawa) and colleagues in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, now suggests that the notion that sedentariness and playing video games contributes to obesity because of reduced caloric expenditure is also flawed – the real reason some kids (and adults) gain weight playing video games is more likely due to increased caloric intake.
In their study, the researchers used a randomized crossover design to examine the effect of playing a video game for an hour (vs. just sitting around) in 22 healthy, normal-weight, male adolescents, on spontaneous food intake, energy expenditure, stress markers, appetite sensations, and profiles of appetite-related hormones.
Markers of mental stress including heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, sympathetic tone, and mental workload were significantly higher during the video game play condition than during the resting condition and energy expenditure was also modestly higher during the video game.
More importantly, however, spontaneous caloric intake after the video game exceeded that measured after rest resulting in a daily energy surplus of 163 kcal compared to resting for an hour.
The increase in food intake associated with video game play was observed without increased sensations of hunger and was not compensated for during the rest of the day.
Thus, this study strongly suggests that the reason kids (and adults?) may gain weight when playing video games is not because they are not burning calories but because they are eating more.
Although this study looked at videogames, it may be fair to assume that any form of inactivity that increases mental stress (work, play, or watching a hockey game) can translate into increased caloric intake.
This makes a lot of sense as in the vast majority of cases, weight gain has more to do with excessive caloric intake than with reduced caloric expenditure (although there are certainly important exceptions to this rule).
Based on this and previous studies, I believe it is fair to conclude that neither weight gain with increased screen time nor weight loss with exercise has anything to do with the burning of calories. Both effects are far more likely to affect weight because of their impact on caloric intake.
This is probably why reducing screen time and increasing physical activity should be part of dietary counseling for weight management.

Is Screen Time More About "Calories In" Than "Calories Out"?,

April 25th, 2011 at 8:00 amInteresting conclusions. Are you aware of any studies linking television viewing and eating? I stopped watching TV a couple of years ago, and noticed an increase in my feelings of well-being (after going through a period of discomfort), and a decrease in overeating. It was a good experiment for I discovered that my own TV watching had become an unhealthy habit. That is, it was easy to turn on and escape (often with a snack or two or three…), but the escape was an illusion. In truth TV watching created more anxiety and distress, from which of course I felt the need for additional relief–in more "escape".
I am indeed fortunate to live in the countryside where I now seek comfort, these days, in the beauty of nature. I do not take power-walks to burn calories, or increase heart rate, nor do I walk for the purpose of weight loss. Instead, I walk moderately for 30 to 60 minutes outdoors each morning for the peace of mind and serenity I encounter. I am maintaining a 120 lb weight loss, but not because of a simple life-style change.
I have needed to transform the way I think about nearly everything about my life and about the culture–and social structure–in which I live. This is a life-long process of ongoing change, filled with discovery, grief, love, sadness, quiet joy and acceptance. It is not something "anyone can do", however. Many forms of oppression and sources of stress are difficult if not impossible to escape.

DenHaus is a family owned and operated business located in Seattle, Washington. The TownHaus was initially developed when owners Sarah & Chris adopted a spirited Redbone Coonhound and decided to crate train her. After spending years remodeling their home, they decided to build a crate that fit with their new home decor.
The design evolved as they discovered a need to have a unique door design to fit into their small house and to have the ability to both crate their dog and have the door open for easy access. After many friends with dogs began asking where they could find their new creation, they began producing and selling the TownHaus in 2005. |

Whatever you have as an occupation or something else you do for a hobby you probably do well. At least well enough to keep your job or have fun with your hobby. That doesnt include golf. (joke) You are confident about what you do.
When I was an exchange member and floor trader I was known as a contrarian. When everyone was bullish I would be looking for the signal to sell. When the market was tanking I would be watching for a buying opportunity. At the end of the year I always had a nice profit by fading the crowd. They were always wrong. Why was the crowd always wrong? They wanted too much confirmation.
When a stock or market is at or near its lowest prices before it starts up there is fear of greater loss. It is the uncertainty that keeps the average investor and broker from realizing this is the place to buy. The herd is afraid and their fears feed upon each other not allowing them to make an intelligent decision.
I will not go into what the buy and sell signals are at this time.
When the outcome of a situation is unclear, uncertain or unknown every person hesitates to take action. No one likes to walk into a dark room especially if he has not been there before. He fumbles for the light switch. When he can see where he is going he will advance.
That is why brokers send out all those beautiful 4 color packets of information about companies. They are allaying the buying fear of the investor.The more he thinks he knows the more likely he will part with his money to buy shares.
When the market was on its lows in March of 2009 after the horrendous break in 2008 there were few buyers. Members of the herd had been slaughtered, others wounded. Those remaining were fearful and refused to buy anything until they had confidence the market was going up again.
Today the little investor is buying. He is convinced the market is going higher and it is. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 5,000 points and looks like the bull market is back again. The herd is happy as lemmings running toward the cliff.
The uncertainty has disappeared. Now is the time to buy. As a contrarian trader I am now watching for a place to sell and buy bear funds as I know there will be another market crash. When to do so has not yet shown. It will.
The sheeple are about to be shorn again; the lemmings will go over the cliff. Those who are contrarian investors will make money as the market slides into oblivion.
Have you become too confident? Too complacent? Be careful. These are dangerous times.

I planted 2 crape myrtles too close to my porch 10 years ago and need them moved. This spring I whittled them down to the ground thinking that they would die. They are still sprouting shoots so now I want to move them and give them new life. My question is how deep is the tap root? Also, if I replant them, could I get trunks now that I have chopped them to a small stump? How do I replant - do I cover them completely with dirt? Thank you in advance :) |

You already tried to kill them once. Just finish the job instead of trying to revive the maimed victim. You will be better off planting new 5-gallon crepe myrtle trees where they need to be and digging the old ones out - dig down and chop through the roots - and discarding them. 1 - They will take YEARS trying to recover from the damage you did when you chopped them to the ground. Your chances of getting a trunk are very slim. 2 - You will have a very hard time digging a big enough root ball for a 10-year old tree. If they were priceless specimens, yes, but obviously you didn't think so. |

(Updates with analyst comments in fifth paragraph.)
Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Pakistan says it will boycott an international conference on Afghanistan to be held in Germany next week, as it steps up protests following the killing of 24 of its border troops in a NATO air strike.
The decision to pull out from the Dec. 4-5 summit in Bonn was agreed at a meeting of the federal Cabinet today, according to a government statement. The nuclear-armed nation had already closed border crossings to trucks carrying supplies for U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan and ordered American personnel to vacate the Shamsi airbase in Pakistan's southwest that has served as a launching point for Predator unmanned aircraft.
Pakistan still supports "stability and peace in Afghanistan and the importance of an Afghan-led, Afghan-owned process of reconciliation," the government said in the statement. "In view of the developments and prevailing circumstances, the country has decided not to participate in the conference."
The U.S. wants the Bonn meeting to cement a sustained international commitment to stabilize Afghanistan, and prevent any Taliban takeover, following the planned U.S. pullout of its main combat forces by 2014. The U.S. and Afghan governments have said Pakistan's role is critical as it wields influence with the Taliban and could press the guerrillas for concessions in a peace process.
'Beyond Rhetoric'
Following the Nov. 25 airstrike, "there's a lot of domestic pressure in Pakistan that's forcing the government to move beyond rhetoric," said Shaheen Akhter, an analyst at the Institute of Regional Studies in Islamabad. Still, Pakistan can't afford "to remain on the sidelines as the international community decides on the future of Afghanistan. They will be back at the table soon."
A similar gathering almost 10 years ago helped form an Afghan government after the U.S. ousting of the Taliban in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York and the Pentagon.
Even before Pakistan's announcement that it will boycott the meeting, the new crisis with the U.S. triggered by the soldiers' killing had "cast a pall over the Bonn process," according to South Asia analyst Lisa Curtis at the Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based think tank.
"Most doubted that the Bonn conference itself would result in any serious breakthroughs with regard to Afghan reconciliation, and this week's events seem to make those prospects even dimmer," Curtis wrote in an analysis published by the foundation yesterday.
Year of Crises
The U.S. and Pakistani governments have been trying to stabilize their relationship after a year that included the detention of a CIA contract employee for killing two Pakistanis, the raid that that killed Osama bin Laden in May, and public accusations by top American officials that Pakistan's army is actively aiding militant groups that the U.S. defines as terrorist.
The U.S. military says it has begun a high-level investigation into the border killings.
President Barack Obama's spokesman, Jay Carney, said the U.S. takes the latest border incident "very seriously," and will work to maintain cooperation with Pakistan. The two countries have "shared goals" when it comes to combating terrorism, he said.
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar told Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a weekend phone call that the attack by helicopter gunships triggered a "deep sense of rage" in the country, according to a foreign ministry statement.
Unmarked Border
The Pakistan-Afghanistan border passes through rugged mountains and desert terrain and is unmarked over most of its more than 2,600-kilometer (1,600-mile) length. The two countries dispute the border's location in many areas.
The Pakistani military's ties to some Afghan militant groups date back to their fight, alongside the U.S., against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s.
"It's very much in Pakistan's interest to attend the Bonn conference because the focus of that is all about trying to build a more stable, peaceful Afghanistan," State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters in Washington yesterday.
The relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan is "critical to the region's stability," Toner said. U.S. ambassador to Pakistan, Cameron Munter, met with President Asif Ali Zardari today to discuss bilateral ties, according to a statement from Zardari's office.
Anthony Cordesman, a military analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, predicted "this crisis will get papered over" and "the U.S. will face even less prospect that Pakistan will really crackdown on insurgent groups in the border area."
The U.S. and Pakistan conducted a joint investigation last year after a similar border incident involving several Pakistani deaths. In that case, the resolution prompted a NATO apology and opened border crossings that had been shut in the aftermath of the incident.

Terrace House 2,Vienna, Austria
Vienna, Austria, has fairly high standards regarding social housing. Especially the architect Harry Glück has raised the bar for high density apartment towers: each flat is connected with a private open space - a terrace.
The Residential-Park Alt–Erlaa is an impressive built example for the "green-city". The project consists of 3.500 units in four 70m high towers, each with a roof-top outdoor pool, connected by a mall providing sport and shopping facilities.
Since a couple of years the site even has its own subway station: Alt-Erlaa.

Bourgoin 23 - Clermont 30
Clermont get that win on the road to stay with the « Big Four »
Clermont achieved their first win on the road this season thanks to a mid-game blitz which proved decisive against a typically combative Bourgoin team. The home side was desperate to avoid a third home defeat, and seemed more settled at their Peirre Rajon stadium following their game at Grenoble's football stadium last week. They certainly came out of their changing room with all guns blazing, and dominated the early exchanges playing in the Clermont 22, and were rewarded with a Parra drop goal after only 2 mins. The French international scrum-half was playing at 10, after Benjamin Boyet failed a late fitness test. Continued Bourgoin pressure led to Anthony Floch being charged down, South African Coetzee gratefully scooping up the ball for the first try. Clermont clawed their way back into the game after the initial fire had subsided and started to play some quick and open rugby. Two Brock James penalties gave a score of 10-6 at half time as the two teams returned to the famously "cosy" changing rooms.
Clermont's quick paced game continued after the break, with James and Pierre Mignoni controlling play, the latter was the inspiration for Clermont's first try after 47 mins, setting Anthony Floch then Mario Ledesma off down the blind side to feed Julien Malzieu who danced down the touchline before cutting in to score under the posts. James converted. Bourgoin's scrum pressure told once again, and the resulting penalty kept them in touch at 13-13. ASM were in no mood to let the pace of the game drop however, and some good phase play and movement, led to James flicking the ball inside to Nalaga. The Suva Express train skittled a few Bourgoin defenders to 'butterfly dive' in for the second Clermont try. His hand-off on Coux will leave the Bourgoin winger nursing a palm shaped bruise for a few weeks to come ! Clermont's final try after a Mignoni breakn (70 min) completely stretched Bourgoins defense and James ghosted through under the posts to confirm the "Yellow and Blue" domination of the second half. The game was as good as over, but Bourgoin continued to battle on and scored two final tries from Nicholas and Basson in the final 8 minutes - disappointment for Clermont after their fine defensive showings in recent weeks. The game finished 23-30, and the competition now takes a break for two weeks for the Heineken Cup.

Fill the Truck Campaign Kicks Off
CEDAR RAPIDS (CBS 2/ FOX 28) Yeah, we know black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year.
Mostly involving long lines, some pushing, and overall markdown madness.
But as items fly off shelves at stores nationwide, the Salvation Army is hoping some of them land in their donation boxes this weekend.
"You could go out and buy some baby toys, buy some footballs, some sports things, buy some nail polish for those little older girls," said Lia Pontarelli, director of development and communications for the Salvation Army of Linn County.
It's part of their "Fill the Truck" campaign-- which collects unopened toys for Linn County kids and gives them to families in need in time for Christmas.
"The cost of Christmas keeps going up from year to year," Pontarelli said.
"Some families just can't even get the basics covered."
Last year the Salvation Army collected close to 2,500 toys--an amount they hope gets even bigger this year--enough to fill the big red and white boxes planted outside of each Walmart in Cedar Rapids and Marion.
"Every little toy, every little donation that we get will make a huge difference in those families lives," Pontarelli said.
A difference some shoppers say is worth the few extra dollars.
"It's needed, and I love it," said shopper Jill Hermanson.

So a new app is trying to make things LESS shallow . . . by ALSO letting you judge people on how much money they make. Check it out HERE
A girl that was on stage dancing with DIERKS BENTLEY projectile vomited in front of the whole crowd. It happened during "Drunk On A Plane", and to lighten the mood he improvised and sang, "Don't know why, she's puking up on the stage." Check out the video below:

During a break, head coach Brian Laux took his squad into the quiet of the its own wrestling room to take some time to refocus. And in that time, he also delivered an impassioned speech.
By day's end, Hastings High finished with 12 qualifiers, including two district champions — 120-pounder Nolan Laux and Huy Truong at 152 pounds — for this week's state wrestling tournament at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha.
"We said, 'Hey, this is your defining moment. This is why you do all that work in the offseason, all those lifting weights and all that — it's for this moment. You guys have the opportunity to put yourselves and this team on the map'," said Brian Laux, whose squad placed second out of eight schools with 176 points, just eight points shy of district champion and Class A No. 2-rated Omaha North. "I couldn't be more proud of the way we competed today.

Ladies of the world, I desperatly need your help! My ex-girl friend made a copy of my house key during our bitter break up and she has now used said key a month later. She didn't like what she found and has retaliated.
She squirted BABY OIL all over the house. How do I get it off of my hard wood flooring and living room marble floors? Will It come out of my cloths? Please citizens, please! Make haste, I really need your help on this! joe |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you posted this question on the Flooring Forum? You might have better luck over there. Personally, I'd call a professional and ask for a hands-on evaluation of the problems. I hope you've called the police and are charging this woman with destruction of your property. |
As far as clothing goes, use liquid dish soap (like Dawn or Palmolive). Those are made to cut grease, so they may get it out of your clothes. A long, warm wash cycle should help. Try not to use too much or your washer will be forever rinsing. Then again... |
Man, what did you do to this woman!!??? I am guessing she found evidence of another woman... First, change the locks. Next, rent Fatal Attraction. Then read the following: Greased Lightening is a cleaner and also a great stain remover for clothing or washable items. Very effective on grease stains. Dawn, is excellent, better than any other liquid sink soap. I caution you on using Greased Lightening on your wood floors. I had a bottle with a tiny hole that leaked onto my wood floors and left an ugly permanent stain. But it is great on washable surfaces. I know nothing about how to treat marble; best to consult an expert on that. Try posting this on the cleaning forum as well; there are some great cleaning and stain removal suggestions on there. |

Environmentalists use Dawn liquid dishwashing detergent to clean oil spills from birds, so that is my best suggestion. Well, I do think that idea of renting Fatal Attraction was also pretty good...now is she done or is more coming? |

If a man did this to a woman, there would be no doubt as to what to do. Call the police first, and then worry about clean-up. |

Dawn dish soap may be hard to rinse in the washer. Too many bubbles. My mom always used Lestoil to clean grease and oil from my dad's clothes. He worked in a steel mill and it worked. Your clothes may have a strong smell after you clean them, you'll need to wash them again with your normal detergent. Let them air dry so you can be sure the oil has been removed. If you put them in the dryer, you'll set the stain. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Lestoil

Week 2 weigh in this morning and I have lost 10lbs!!
Mini-Goals - Mini-Goal is 30lbsView Full Version : Mini-Goal is 30lbs jenfett 05-28-2011, 02:48 PM Week 2 weigh in this morning and I have lost 10lbs!! fatferretfanatic 05-28-2011, 03:23 PM Great job! This is amazing! Keep up the amazing work! Liliann 05-28-2011, 05:32 PM Way to go on your 10 Lbs loss!! Yahooo!!! Keep on, keeping on!! Gigi33 05-28-2011, 05:58 PM Keep up the good work! jenfett 05-30-2011, 11:35 AM Thank you everyone! Man staying on track over this long weekend has been so hard lol, but it is okay. Back to work tomorrow and back to routine :) jenfett 06-04-2011, 12:21 PM So had a very rough week with staying on track, not only did the long weekend trip me up, I was craving everything under the moon this week and struggled everyday. My weight fluctuated a lot this week and was back up to 278 but this mornings "official" weigh in is at 272 which I can live with because my cravings were caused by TOM which finally came on Friday, so hoping that by staying on target next weeks weigh in will be at least 265. Now that it is the weekend I have to be especially strong because at least during the week I have routine because of work that help keeps me on track. The carnival is also in town and we took the kiddo last night and she had a blast, I had worked yesterday to make sure I had enough cals left and had a great workout so I didn't feel guilty having a corn dog, which I order the small one and that was more than enough to satisfy the craving. On the way out of the carnival the family wanted deep fried oreo's which are just as horrific for you as they sound, but we always get them, just happens this year I am trying to lose weight, but we still got them and I had one so that is over and done with. Kiddo wants to go back today and I will take her since she has some tickets left but not getting any food today, but we might if we get in a really good workout get an ice cream cone. I decided I am not going to get rid of all the things in my life that I enjoy, I just have to learn to moderate and to workout to burn it off. I have cut out a lot of the unnecessary crud that is so harmful and I have started eating breakfast and lunch and snacks through out the day instead of waiting until I get home and then binge until the time I go to bed. Those little changes alone are making the difference. It is going to be a slow weight loss, but I have lost the weight very fast before and gained every pound back and then some. So just making lifestyle changes and just taking care of me for a change. Having this site has been a tremendous help because when I feel an urge or need to give up I can pop on here and maybe not post but just reading that there are people going through the same thing and that they are making it, helps me get through. Now if only I could add a signature that would make it even more awesome! I thought I would have the option today but I guess my 20th day technically would be tomorrow. So I am excited to see the little ticker that will really give me a boost :) Thanks for reading :) Jen SeeImTryin 06-04-2011, 02:58 PM Glad you were able to maintain through a rough weekend. I hope you get your new siggy tomorrow.:) jenfett 06-05-2011, 01:10 PM Yay I was able to set up my signature today!! Little things make me happy. jenfett 06-12-2011, 12:23 PM "Official weigh in 4" Down 7 lbs since last Saturday! I know some of that is water so I was happy that I made it to my weekly goal! Had a great week I stayed on track. I went to the gym everyday and had wonderful workouts! I did not binge at all, I have made it through 12 days without a slip up at all! My daughter and I walked in Relay for Life yesterday afternoon, we couldn't stay the entire day and night because my daughter is only 6 and it was super hot so we were out there for 4 and a 1/2 hours and we clocked in 6 miles which is wonderful and we had a wonderful time. Next year we plan on being there start to finish so we will build up to it over the next year. Life is good, I have changed a lot mentally over the past month and it has made a difference. I am so much more happier than I have been in a very long time and when momma is happy, everyone is happy LOL I am half way to my first mini goal and once I get there I will do a week of maintenance. Maybe two weeks. To make sure I can stay at that weight before I take it to another level so I can knock off the next 30 lbs. I am hoping by doing this I won't hit that dreaded wall that I always seem to hit. Since I did Relay yesterday (which Saturday is my normal break day) today I am resting, my body aches a bit today so I am going to relax and rest and be ready to hit hard again tomorrow! Thanks for reading! Jen tomtom22 06-15-2011, 10:10 AM wow.. you have already committed (hardest part for me). its just going to get better from here ! jenfett 06-18-2011, 08:50 PM "Official weigh in week 5" 268 lbs Made it through the week very well, worked out every single day and stayed on plan and didn't have any slip ups in meals. I can tell already that my heart and lungs are getting much stronger because I am able to to go a full 35 minutes on the elliptical now and I know I could go longer but my lunch breaks are only an hour and I have to shower because I do get very sweaty. I am able to work with my heartrate around 146 to 150 for 30 of those minutes so I know I am getting healthier regardless of what the scales say. I have had a pretty crappy day but have been on my feet since 7am taking care of my kids first case and hopefully the last case of lice, I was livid to find out they don't do screenings in school any more because it "hurts the kids feelings" when they get sent home with lice, so instead now they let them just run a muck and don't tell anyone or even find out when there is an outbreak. But after spending 5 hours working on her hair (she has very long and thick hair) I then cleaned everything on the top floor of the house and have washed all of the bedding and pretty much all of the clothes again. On top of that I got an abscessed tooth yesterday and have been dealing with that as well. The positive thing is that I stayed very busy today and got loads of exercise cleaning the house. I will finish the laundry and clean the bottom floor tomorrow and I have to wash and vacuum the car to make sure there are no buggies in there. I know that it happens to just about every kid, I just hate it LOL. Anywho that's my weekly update. jenfett 06-20-2011, 10:44 AM Seriously wanting to give up today, it was a really crappy weekend and I feel like why flippin bother anymore. Just having a blue day I guess and hoping that when I go to the gym at lunch it will snap me out of my funk. Just feeling used anymore so why should I try and make myself better, no one gives a real damn anyways. The answer to that question I know is, that I give a damn and that I am doing this for myself. I am just tired. Tired of trying and doing and doing it all. Maybe instead of the elliptical I need to do boxing workouts LOL. Anywho I had to get that off my chest so I can stop brooding and just move on with the day. jenfett 06-21-2011, 08:03 AM Well thankfully I pulled myself out of my funk yesterday. I did make it to the gym for a really good workout but it was funny because I got to the gym and quickly realized that I had forgotten my socks and well in the mood that I was already in I for a split second thought about not working out and just going back up to my desk but I was like, no I have to do this, so I did my workout without my socks and was so glad that I did because it just helped me get over myself and the feelings that I was having and to just get myself back on track. This journey is going to be a long slow and painful process but it just has to keep going. I have to completely accept that this is my lot in life and that even though it is not easy I have to do it and get healthy or it is going to be a short and miserable life. So I am getting my rear end in gear this morning, it is the last day of school for my kindergartner so it is exciting and sad all at the same time because where did the time go, it seems like just yesterday we were walking her to her classroom for the first time. She looks so different now compared to the first day of school. She still looked like a baby when she started and now she is this tall skinny big girl ready to take on the world lol. Ok enough talking time to go and wake her up :) jenfett 06-25-2011, 11:35 AM "Official weigh in 6" 268 I seriously don't get it, and think my scales officially hate me. I have worked so hard this week and have been good on my food and I just don't understand why I have not lost anything, not even a pound. I am hoping that it is just because that I have had TOM again this week for the second time this month. I have decided that if the scales aren't moving something has to be changing so I took measurements of my whole body, or at least the parts I care about LOL I just wish I had done that when I started this process. So the embarrassing numbers are below and I will measure again next week. I have also increased my cardio workout to 40 minutes on the elliptical and I have been able to increase it to 3 miles total while maintaining a heart rate average of 150 for 30 of the 40 minutes. So I know I am getting stronger because I have to work harder to get my heart rate up and keep it up. I am also in the processing finding a new house, I viewed one last night and fell in love with it, but so did lots of other people so I am putting it out in the universe that if this is meant to be then it will happen and be easy. PLease be easy, I am tired of having to struggle through everything LOL. Measurements Bust- 52" chest- 44" upper belly- 48" waist- 50" lower belly- 55.5 hips- 50 left thigh- 29" right thigh- 30 (so weird how it is bigger but I am right handed so it is my dominant side) right arm- 16" left arm- 16" Man these numbers don't lie and sure do make me feel like a whale. But you know I honestly don't feel that way most of the time, most of the time I feel like I am smaller than I am, and I am ok until I look at a picture or I look in the mirror. It messes with my head sometimes but I haven't given up yet. If though I go through another week without any loss then I am going to have to change my food again and I don't know how much smaller I can on my food, because I need some food, I can't get by on just veggies lol. Anyways I have a ton to do this weekend with cleaning and packing and looking for houses ( just in case the one from last night falls through). So take care all and thank you for reading. jenfett 07-12-2011, 08:42 PM Well I let what usually happens happen...I let stress get in the way of what I was working towards. Lost all motivation, starting eating like crazy, and I didn't stop me, neither did anyone else. I even stopped coming here, actually I think the 25th of June was the last time I logged in. Its all in my head, I know, I just don't know how to deal with stress or not speaking my mind in any other way than hurting myself. It comes so easy for some, but not me. Whatever it may be, I need to cut the strings and get over it, I need to become a totally different person, I need to become me. I am too busy trying to do and be what everyone else wants me to be that I have never learned who I am and what I want in my life. I don't love myself and never really have. I am told that I am a very negative person, always depressed, and think everything stinks. Partly this is true, and while I don't know 100% of the cause I certain know a few key things that are causing most of my grief, and if I would just learn to open my mouth and say what is on my mind or hurting me or what I disagree with then I think I can start making the changes in my life that will help me get to a different level. I fear though hurting anyone's feeling and most people don't like people to disagree with them so I always walk on eggshells and worry about what people think and I just internalize everything, so on top of my weight I have years and years worth of pent up feelings that don't go anywhere but eat away at me everyday. Sometimes I wish I could just be a *****, that would make it so much easier because I wouldn't care what anyone thought. At any rate I just needed to talk that out and at least not have that floating around my head. I went back to the gym today, didn't want to but I did. I will get back on track. I am a person who needs help that is for darn sure, maybe some day I will figure it all out, hopefully sooner rather than later. jenfett 07-12-2011, 09:09 PM I am shocked though, I finally stepped on the scale and found that my two week break did not break me, I am still right at where I was when I left off so that makes me feel so much better! vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Day 15:
Posted on June 17, 2013 by Scott Honda
Plenty of action today.
Both Williams Aerospace and "Chuck n Iam" crews were flying their UAVs today, so there was a lot of excitement going on at the base camp. Even though there was only one drone in the air at a time, gathering and ensuring all the data was gathered and in the correct place or drive was quite a task. It was still fun to see the drones fly in both auto pilot and manual. Art also flew his little plane and he spun, flipped, and banked it with amazing agility. It's not much use for what we're concerned with, but it was still cool. But Iam's and Chuck's X8 took the air twice and they gathered a lot of imagery with the RICOH cameras, in both NIR and Visible Light. I think they covered around half of the valley or close to it. Processing will soon commence!
As for my research topic(s) Uluhe ferns is an interesting topic. I'd be interested in to seeing if native species have a higher presence where Uluhe is present, if they are present at all. I could also delve into the controlling factors of where Uluhe grows, as other students and myself have noticed that Uluhe are more prominent toward the back of the valley. However, Dr. Lipo suggested an idea that was also interesting. The research topic was something along the lines of "Does bathymetry determine ancient Hawaiian fishing practices?" It'll be cool to see if there is any actual artifacts near the shore. One reservation is that I'm not sure if I'd be able to even recognize an artifact that's been weathered by the currents, but it's definitely worth looking into.
Anyway, tomorrow the X100 is supposed to fly. I'm curious as to how much of the valley the X100 will cover after one pass.

I know we all know alot about Disney, but how about gardening and plants.
I have a mystery plant in my garden and no one seems to know what it is.
It was in my back garden when we moved in a year ago. I though it was a flowering vine but it did not produce any flowers this past summer. I have cut it back for the winter but it went crazy covering alot of our fence.
I hope someone can identify it and tell me if it is supposed to have flowers. I like lots of colour in my garden so I really don't want it if it is just going to stay green.

The Card
Apart from the cooler design, we don't really see anything we haven't seen from other GTX 460s we've already looked at. There's two 6-Pin PCI-E connectors at the top of the card like Palit's instead of at the back. We've also got a single SLI connector and connectivity is offered via two Dual-Link DVI connectors and a single Mini-HDMI port.
Where the Galaxy offering does differ to the others we've looked at is when it comes to the fan which can pivot back or completely detach to help clean up the heatsink from any dust. The whole thing is a little gimmicky, but we don't mind it if the heatsink/fan does a good job of keeping our core nice and cool.
I thought when we looked at the Palit Sonic Platinum GTX 460 that we wouldn't see a company beat it when it comes to the out of the box overclock. Not only did Palit offer us an 800MHz core, but they also upped the ante on the memory by pushing it to 4000MHz QDR.
It seems that Galaxy has infiltrated the Palit bunker, though, as they're offering us an 810MHz core which in turn bumps our Shader clock to 1620MHz. As for the 1GB of GDDR5, they've bumped that up from the default 3600MHz QDR clock to 4000MHz QDR.
While the Galaxy offering is only a small increase on the Palit 800MHz clock we saw earlier, it like the Palit offering is a massive increase over the default 675MHz clock which at the moment no one has shown us.

A Smithsonian book that lets you mix and match the faces and philosophies of your favorite presidents
This interactive volume allows people of all ages to gain a new perspective on the American presidency, from George Washington to George W. Bush. Starting with twenty-four portraits of America's favorite commanders in chief, each cut into five sections -- forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, and chin -- the reader can reposition the features to create a wealth of amusing and unique composites. Biographies of the featured leaders, famous quotations reflecting their political views, and a time line of the American presidents make this a useful reference as well as a fun game that will bring hours of enjoyment to anyone who has ever wanted to put a new face on the American presidency.
