Included in the recent renovations and expansion of the hospital were energy-efficient double-pane windows throughout the building. The large windows in new patient rooms and lobby let in more sunlight, reducing the need for electricity and promoting emotional well-being.
The building's new roof is constructed of a black rubber product that absorbs energy from sunlight, helping to melt snow and ice during the winter months and inhibiting mold growth in the summer.
To continue in that theme of going green, Hooper said the hospital will be making an ongoing effort to promote recycling and reduce its use of paper. Many documents are already being produced and stored electronically instead of with a hard copy.
"Also, that way, we don't have a paper copy taking up space," Hooper said.
"This hospital is located in one of the most beautiful and unspoiled areas of the nation", said Matt Nolan, director of facilities at ECH. "Our administration believes that part of being a good neighbor means ensuring that the hospital is doing its part to help keep our local environment healthy."

It Might Be Time to Sell One of Warren Buffett's Favorite Stocks
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Warren Buffett said in this year's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B - Get Report) annual letter that he was wrong before he was right about calling a bottoming in the housing market - "dead wrong" -- but now he will be right, finally, in saying the corner is turning, or about to be turned in the housing market.
In other words, parsing Buffett's words on housing is a fool's errand for an investor.
Take building materials company USG (USG - Get Report), a stock shunned by most of Wall Street but loved by Buffett, who owns more than 17 million shares. USG is a building materials company that fits perfectly in the theme that a rising housing tide will lift the Berkshire Hathaway boat, as it has a heavy investment in housing, from building construction plays to carpet and furniture makers, home builders and mortgage providers.
On Wednesday, USG announced better than expected sales through the first two months of the year, thanks to a pricing increase in its gypsum wallboard market, driving margins higher for the first quarter. Through February, the company's net sales totaled $516.9 million, up 16% from the year-ago period.
Shares of USG hit a new 52-week high of $19.44 in intraday action on Wednesday, and the stock has gained nearly 70% already this year. It recently changed hands at $19.13, up nearly 12% on the day. Permits for U.S. home building neared a four-year high in February. Multi-family housing permits continue to go higher and even the embattled single-family home permit number is up 9 out of the past 12 months. Existing home sales, though, disappointed on Wednesday, though some market pundits said disappointed "not by much." Others point to the ambivalent data showing that whether existing home sales disappointed by a little or a lot, they remain near a long-term average. Home prices haven't rebounded, but they have stabilized somewhat, and so the market pundits still say that all in all, it's time to call a bottom in housing, including Warren Buffett. Here's what the Oracle of Omaha had to say in his recent annual letter: "Last year, I told you that 'a housing recovery will probably begin within a year or so.' I was dead wrong...Housing will come back - you can be sure of that. Over time, the number of housing units necessarily matches the number of households (after allowing for a normal level of vacancies). For a period of years prior to 2008, however, America added more housing units than households."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Some people say that Arabs are "native Palestinians", while Jews are
"invaders" and "settlers". But I read the biographies of Israeli and
Palestinian political leaders, and I was confused. Who of Israeli or
Palestinian leaders were born in Palestine?
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, Born 21 October 1949 in Tel Aviv.
EHUD BARAK, Born 12 February 1942 in Mishmar HaSharon, British Mandate of
ARIEL SHARON, Born 26 February 1928 in Kfar Malal, British Mandate of
EHUD OLMERT, Born 30 September 1945 in Binyamina-Giv'at Ada, British Mandate
of Palestine.
ITZHAK RABIN, Born 1 March 1922 in Jerusalem, British Mandate of Palestine.
ITZHAK NAVON, Israeli President in 1977-1982. Born 9 April 1921 in
Jerusalem, British Mandate of Palestine.
EZER WEIZMAN, Israeli President in 1993-2000. Born 15 June 1924 in Tel Aviv,
British Mandate of Palestine.
YASSER ARAFAT, Born 24 August 1929 in Cairo, Egypt
SAEB ERAKAT, Born April 28, 1955, in Jordan. He has the Jordanian
FAISAL ABDEL QADER AL-HUSSEINI, Born in1948 in Bagdad, Iraq.
SARI NUSSEIBEH, Born in 1949 in Damascus, Syria.
MAHMOUD AL-ZAHAR, Born in 1945, in Cairo, Egypt.
So, Israeli leaders, born in Palestine, are "settlers or invaders," while
Palestinian Arab leaders who were born in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Tunisia are
"native Palestinians" ?

(CNN) — The government is still shut down, and there's been little progress on raising the debt limit. But there was one bit of news from Washington that kept investors from dumping stocks again.
Janet Yellen's nomination as next chair of the Federal Reserve helped stabilize, if not necessarily excite, Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 were flat in morning trading following two days of selling.
Though the broader market was little changed, shares of many momentum stocks sank for a second day and weighed on the Nasdaq. Yahoo, Priceline and Facebook declined more than 2%. Shares of Tesla, Netflix and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters were down more than 4%.
Yellen will be nominated by President Obama at 3 p.m. ET. She has long been a favored candidate for the position and shares much of current chairman Ben Bernanke's thinking on loose monetary policy.
Mike van Dulken, head of research at Accendo Markets, wrote in his daily note to client that "rates will stay low for longer and policy will be accommodative" if Yellen is approved by the Senate.
An hour before the Yellen announcement, investors will get a look at the minutes of the Federal Reserve's most recent policy meeting. The document will be closely scrutinized for clues about the central bank's plans for its bond-buying program.
Debt anxiety: U.S. stocks fell Tuesday amid continued anxiety over the debt ceiling crisis. The Nasdaq sustained the biggest hit, with major tech stocks taking a dive.
The Dow Jones industrial has dropped more than 350 points since the shutdown of the federal government began on Oct. 1.
Investors are getting more concerned by the day that Washington will not raise the debt ceiling next week. This could lead the government unable to pay all of its bills on time.
The yield on one-month Treasury bills surged to its highest level since the financial crisis Tuesday as investors worry about the country's ability to pay its short-term debts.
Earnings rolling in: Alcoa shares rose after the aluminum producer's profits beat expectations.
Shares of Yum! Brands, meanwhile, tumbled after the operator of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut reported weak earnings and continued problems in its China division.
Costco missed on revenue and reported a slight bump in same store sales. Earnings per shares came in better than expected. The stock was down in early trading.
Retailer Family Dollar beat earnings forecasts, while revenue was roughly in line with estimates. But shares fell on a relatively weak outlook.
Men's Wearhouse shares spiked even though the company's board rejected a $2.4 bid from smaller rival Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, setting the stage for another nasty battle for the men's apparel retailer.
European markets were mixed in afternoon trading, while Asian markets mostly ended with gains. Japan's benchmark Nikkei index popped up by 1%.

Using old flash memory as a backup medium
USB Fiddle Stickery
USB sticks and SD cards quickly lose their value, but if a script distributes the data across several such devices, flash memory is still useful as a fast and shockproof backup medium despite limited capacity.
It seems that USB sticks and SD cards also follow Moore's Law, in that the storage capacity they offer doubles each year. A 64GB stick now costs US$ 40, and an 8GB stick, which used to be the market leader just a few years ago, has lost almost all its value and ends up in a drawer. At the other end of the product spectrum, prices rise disproportionately: Whereas a 128GB stick costs about US$ 80, one with twice the capacity, 256GB, is about four times the price.
Combining multiple storage media would achieve acceptable storage capacity at a low price, and, if you are looking for a software solution that combines multiple storage modules to create an array, something like Linux Volume Manager (LVM) springs to mind. It elegantly welds together your hardware to create software partitions, which – at application level – feel exactly like hardware solutions cast in metal and plastic (Figure 1).

"Rheo-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy: a versatile toolbox to investigate rheological phenomena in complex fluids" is Claudia Schmidt's topic. Rheology is an important science, and NMR has a number of uses within it. However, challenges remain for the simultaneous measurement of rheological and NMR parameters.
Jan Novotný, Karel Novotný, David Prochazka, Aleš Hrdlička and Jozef Kaiser tell us about "Two dimensional elemental mapping by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy". LIBS seems to be finding increasing applications and to be receiving interest by the instrument manufacturers at present. The article provides an introduction to the technique and goes on to show how it can be used for elemental mapping in materials analysis.

Researcher Kristina Djanashvili has developed a substance that enables doctors to get better MRI scans of tumours. On Tuesday 13 January, Djanashvili will be awarded a doctorate by TU Delft for her work in this field.
The medical profession's ability to trace and visualise tumours is increasing all the time. Detection and imaging techniques have improved enormously in recent years. One of the techniques that have come on by leaps and bounds is MRI. Patients who are going to have MRI scans are often injected with a 'contrast agent', which makes it easier to distinguish tumours from surrounding tissues. The quality of the resulting scan depends partly on the ability of this agent to 'search out' the tumour and induce contrast.
Better images
At TU Delft, postgraduate researcher Kristina Djanashvili has developed a new contrast agent with enhanced tumour affinity and contrast induction characteristics. In principle, this means that cancers can be picked up sooner and visualised more accurately.
The new agent is a compound incorporating a lanthanide chelate and a phenylboronate group substance. The lanthanide chelate ensures a strong, clear MRI signal, while the phenylboronate group substance 'searches out' cancerous tissue.
Water exchange
The lanthanide chelate influences the behaviour of water molecules, even inside the human body. It is ultimately the behaviour of the hydrogen nuclei in the water molecules that makes MRI possible and determines the quality of the image produced. The stronger the influence of the lanthanide chelate on the neighbouring hydrogen nuclei (the so-called water exchange) and the more hydrogen nuclei affected, the better the MRI signal obtained. Djanashvili has defined the methods for determining the water exchange parameters.
Djanashvili has also provided her contrast agent with enhanced tumour-seeking properties by including a phenylboronate group substance

Ph.D. in Literature
Phase III
Phase III: The Dissertation
The last written requirement before receiving the Ph.D. is the presentation of a suitable dissertation. This may be a critical and scholarly study of a single subject or it may consist of two or more integrally related essays. While there is no prescribed (or proscribed) length, the usual length is 40,000 to 50,000 words.
As examples and guides to conceiving a dissertation, students may consult dissertations previously completed in the Department. These are filed in the Special Collections area of Geisel Library.
Preparing the Prospectus
Before the end of the quarter following the qualifying examination (the tenth quarter, in most cases), the student prepares a dissertation prospectus of 3-5 pages and a supporting bibliography. The student then meets with the committee to discuss the prospectus and bibliography and to plan the subsequent direction of research.
Change in Dissertation Topic
If, after passing the qualifying examination, advancing to candidacy, and presenting a prospectus, the student wishes to change the dissertation topic, s/he must prepare another prospectus and obtain approval for it from the Ph.D. committee. If deemed necessary by a majority of the committee members, the student will defend the new topic at an oral examination conducted by the committee.
Completing and Defending the Dissertation
To complete the dissertation, the student enrolls for 8-12 units of LTXX 299 each quarter, usually under the direction of one of the members of the Ph.D. committee.
Completion of the dissertation should require no more than six academic quarters after advancement to candidacy, since the three years of preparation (two for students who enter the program with M.A. degrees) for the qualifying examination is designed to involve work toward the dissertation in the form of the research paper.
The student is required to present a dissertation defense in the form of a colloquium that, by order of the Graduate Council, is open to the public. The final recommendation regarding award of the Ph.D. degree is to be decided by the Ph.D. committee in a private caucus at the end of the defense. If the committee approves the dissertation, they sign the necessary paperwork and endorse the signature page of the dissertation. (For instructions on preparing the signature page, see Instructions for Preparation and Submission of Doctoral Dissertations and Masters' Thesis, available from OGS).
Filing the Dissertation
In preparing the final draft of the dissertation, the student should follow the guidelines contained in the booklet entitled
Preparation and Submission Manual for Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses
. It contains examples of the signature page which must be signed by all committee members at the defense. This booklet is available from the Office of Graduate Studies and Research.
Before filing the final draft of the dissertation, students should make an appointment with OGS for a preliminary review of their dissertation manuscript.
The Department reports the outcome of the dissertation defense on the Report of the Final Examination and Filing of the Dissertation for Degree of Doctor of Philosophy form. Following the defense, this form and the dissertation are submitted to OGS.
Then the candidate files the final draft of the dissertation with the University Archivist (Special Collections), who accepts it on behalf of the Graduate Council. Acceptance of the dissertation by the Archivist fulfills the final requirement for the Doctor of Philosophy degree.

A place to post your menu or your plan for the day? Please post here. Everyone is welcome. nicolen 10-19-2009, 03:44 AM Hey lovelies, Sorry for disappearing on you last week and unfortunately this week will be much the same thing. A friend is getting married in a few weeks and we're heading away for the weekend to Wellington. Lots of awesome food, wine and fun. It's going to be dangerous... Anyway, it's been fairly quiet with me. Weight is up which isn't good. Nobody to blame but myself and I've improved for the last few days at least. And I had a good workout this morning for the first time in a while. Tomorrow it's the last session with yummy trainer (woe!), so yeah. I'm looking forward to that, but I'm not looking forward to it either. Anyway, sorry for the drive by posting. I'll hopefully have time tomorrow to do a proper update. Take care all! dgramie 10-19-2009, 07:20 AM life is crazy at times and it makes dieting hard. I was stressed yesterday and I caught a little debbie oatmeal pie in my mouth...made myself spit it out! Food has been pretty good..and scales are inching down. I had a 3lbs weight loss last week. Now if I could just do that again this week. food will be....breakfast yogurt and blueberries lunch chicken breast and veggies dinner-not sure yet but it will be healthy! Loving Me 10-19-2009, 08:19 AM I really need to be strong this week.... Last week I had a bad head cold and didn't exercise as much as usual. Food wise I could have been better over the weekend and I'm still not feeling great so today's workout at the gym wasn't great and I'm annoyed with myself because I like to try to up my calorie count each session. I feel like I'm heading for a fall with my weigh in on Friday and I REALLY need to keep going this week and see a loss on those scales to motivate me to keep going. Slashnl 10-19-2009, 09:40 AM Well, back to work for me today. Oh joy. The good part is that hunting was a good boost for me in weight loss, I lost 5 pounds. That is over 2 weeks, so it's a good loss for me. I was going to go to the gym this morning, but we were out hunting yesterday and walked forever. I was just so tired this morning and I needed to get some stuff ready for work. But, back tomorrow at the gym for spin class. Scary. We'll be hunting next weekend and then it is all over. It needs to be over, I'm not getting anything done around the house! Oh well. So, I'll be checking in this week. Hope everyone has a great week. Beverlyjoy 10-19-2009, 09:44 AM Hi chicks - I had another good day - I am so grateful. Today I am going to doctor to have my pieces and parts checked out. Here's my life plan: meditate stretches & strengthening log food lots of water mindful eating sit down while eating anything fork down between bites -slow down! B - egg white omlette with ketchup, 1/2 english muffin witn npnb, grapes l - turkey and lite cheese sandwich (open face) with lite mayo, spaghetti squash snack - cottage cheese and 1/2 banana d - 12 grain pancake, boca bacon, sf syrup, applesauce s - cereal, fruit, milk I hope everyone has a GREAT day. lottie63 10-19-2009, 10:47 AM slashnl, I thought I'd pig out at my cousins wedding in july but it was easier than i thought it'd be, especially with people complaining that the cookies were dry. ;) ha. today: 1507 b: scrambled tofu and veggies l: cold noodles with warm seitan and peanut sauce s: pear d: pumpkin manicotti (I Did not eat this the last two days as was planned so tonight we are getting around to it FOR SURE) :) mj5 10-19-2009, 11:57 AM Hi everyone! Just popping in quick, I'll catch up w/ everyone later. Back to work for me too....slowly the piles on my desk are getting smaller.... I maintained this week, which I am happy with, considering the choices I made. I have my healthy lunch waiting for me. I have been drinking water all morning. My gym clothes are in the car--my planned workout is: legs/back and cardio. After the gym (and ONLY if I do my planned workout), I am going to stop at Kohl's....I would really like a bigger black purse, but we'll see--only if there is a super bargain. Have a great OP day everyone! girlonfire 10-19-2009, 04:10 PM Ok here goes B: 1 slice whole wheat bread w//25 tbsp margarine and raspberry jam 1 yogurt with raspberry jam L: 1 sausage with potatoes and tomatoes; 1 banana D: 1 taco salad(lettuce, avocado, chicken, tabasco, a little rance dressing) S: apple, 1 small salad Total calories for the day: 1,320 Exercise: 30 min running/jogging girlonfire 10-19-2009, 04:13 PM Uh, that is supposed to be .25 tbsp margarine, not 25 tbsp Slashnl 10-19-2009, 05:13 PM Uh, that is supposed to be .25 tbsp margarine, not 25 tbsp That's funny! nicolen 10-20-2009, 04:01 AM Lots of talking - that's great to see! I'm wondering whether it would be considered the height of laziness to ring my neighbour and ask if he minds putting my recycling bin out tonight. It's recycling day tomorrow and I am sore! There are 2 reasons - yummy trainer worked me very hard this morning and my team did a volunteer day at Willowbank (http://www.willowbank.co.nz/) which was an awesome experience. We basically did a lot of gardening and got a free tour at the end - including seeing some areas that aren't open to the public which was brilliant. But think of the calories I burned - it all helps for Wellington, right... Anyway, I'll be sore tomorrow so it's a good thing I won't be going to the gym. I'm actually not too far from bed - just finish up here and then I'm going to have a shower. Dgramie, 3 lbs down! Go you! Loving, if you're not well, don't beat yourself up and push too hard. It'll do you more harm in the long run - trust me, I had a cold turn to bronchitis a few weeks ago because I didn't give my body a chance to get better. Diane, great to see you back. I'm pleased you had a good holiday, even if you didn't score an elk! Beverly, hope everything went well at the doctors! Lottie, your menu looks fantastic as always. MJ, how was the gym and shopping? Did you get your bag? Peachy, I did a double take when I read that amount of margarine! Typos are fun things! Anyway, I'm going to get the recycling out before I do anything else and calling it a night. Have fun! Beverlyjoy 10-20-2009, 07:54 AM Hi chicks...I had another on plan day - I am so grateful. My trip to the doctor went well. She gave me some back and knee exercises. I can take the anti- inflamitory drugs for one more week. Because they gave me an ulcer once - I've got to be careful. stretches and strengthening lots of water log food put fork down between bites - eat slower meditate breakfast - turkey sausage,1/2 english muffin, grapes lunch - soup, carrots, crackers snack - yogurt and fruit dinner - ww pasta with a sauce of evoo, broth, onions, peppers, olives, garlic, parm cheese snack - cottage cheese, 1/2 banana I'll be back later . Have a great day! mj5 10-20-2009, 11:12 AM Good Morning everyone! Not sure if I am starting to get a cold or if it is just allergies, but I am sick of sneezing and sinus pressure! nicolen--Have fun on your weekend away. How was your last session w/ yummy trainer??? Did you get your recycling out? LOL!!! dgramie--Good for you for realizing what you were doing and spitting it out! Loving--How are you feeling? Diane--Great job!!! Beverlyjoy--Hope your knee and back improve! lottie--You are doing awesome! peachykeen--Great job! The gym was ok. I was running super late. I had to cover a meeting for someone at work and the meeting ran late. I didn't do my planned workout, but I did do cardio. I did stop at Kohl's and bought a new black purse. I wasn't going to, but I won't have time tonight, so I went. It's really cute. Some of my co-workers were comparing purses today and we all have similiar purses. Kind of funny! Can't wait to see my ortho on Friday. My knee hurts a lot. Of course, the shoes I wore yesterday didn't help...what was I thinking???? I am having lunch w/ my younger brother today. He eats healthy, so he's a good influence! We have some family drama (well, he does), so it could be interesting lunch conversation.....I'm trying not to get pulled into the middle! I will do my planned workout from yesterday--legs/back and cardio. Have a great OP day everyone! Slashnl 10-20-2009, 12:03 PM Well, I didn't make it to the gym today either. I have to quit being lazy and ignoring my alarm clock. I WILL make it tomorrow. I guess coming off a vacation makes it tough to get going again. No excuses though. I need to get back there. MJ: Hope you have a good lunch. Beverly: Good luck with the pills. I hope they don't cause you any other pain! Nicolen: Sounds like a great workout for you! Have a great day everyone! mj5 10-20-2009, 07:30 PM Hi again! We had an awesome training at work today about the psychology of motivation. It was SO good and SO true and can certainly be applied to personal and professional situaions. It came at a great time for me, personally, trying to re-establish my workout routine. I am happy to report that tonight I did my planned workout at the gym! nicolen 10-21-2009, 03:49 AM Well, the good news is the recycling went out last night. Trust me, that was quite an accomplishment! I'm still a bit sore, but not as sore as I was this time yesterday. Tomorrow I should be back to normal which is good since it's yummy trainer's last group session with us which means that we'll be working really hard! Kill me now... I've seen some of the photos from yesterday and it's actually incredible what we accomplished. We won't talk about the wonderful shot of my bum. Why is it just when you feel like you're making progress, someone takes the most unflattering picture that it's possible to take of you? Anyway, short and sweet tonight, I'm afraid. I'm going to have another early night and try and start getting organised for going away. Take care! Beverlyjoy 10-21-2009, 06:39 AM Hi chicks - I have to run...I am taking my mom to get two little cancers on her bottom eyelid removed. Reminder - use sunscreen. I weighed today - it's still 230. That's what it's been for three weeks. I've been working my plan so well. I am disappointed. I know that it's the process that is as important than the end product. But, I am not feeling it right now. Have a great day. dgramie 10-21-2009, 08:09 AM bev- hugs and hang in there...you have a whoosh coming it just may take time. eating for me has been so easy lately...scary actually.

I am a caregiver for kids and hubby..exercise and eating right is the only way to take care of me. food for today- breakfast - eggs ww toast lunch stirfry with lots of veggies dinner - homemade chicken soup lottie63 10-21-2009, 10:49 AM I have a second interview soon....getting a job for the first time in 5 years. *a bit terrified* today: 1200 b: pb and j on arnolds wheat sandwich thin w/ almond milk l: veggie pita pizza s: veggie pita pizza d: seitan wings in bbq sauce s: hummus and pita bread (half order) mj5 10-21-2009, 03:11 PM Hi everyone! I just realized that I hadn't stopped here yet today! I worked out last night and it felt SO good! I am sore today (stupid knee!), but I will keep plugging away. Food choices have been not so good so far today. I WILL have a healthy dinner. It won't reverse what I have had so far, but it won't make it any worse. nicolen--Congrats on getting the recycling out! Ignore that picture. You HAVE accomplished a lot! Great job! Beverlyjoy--Keep at it. I feel a whoosh coming! Hope your mom is ok. dgramie--Good for you! Keep it up! lottie--Congrats! I had no idea you were looking for a job. What's the job? How did the interview go? How is almond milk? I'v been hearing a lot about it lately and well, I very much dislike cows milk--I've never liked the taste. I get plenty of calcuim in other ways, but I am curious about almond milk. Plan for tonight is to go to the gym right after my last work meeting. This one will be easier to keep on a time schedule and we'll hopefully end at 4pm. Then I need to make a grocery list and relax w/ the beagles! Have a great afternoon! Beverlyjoy 10-22-2009, 07:58 AM Hi chicks - Mom's surgery went well. It's just amazing to me that they can remove a cancer from her lower eye lid. She stayed with us last night. I told her we were having sleepover. Today is the dentist and the orthopedist. foodwise - breakfast - pnb toast, pear, boca bacon lunch - cottage cheese, applesauce, grits snack - baked apple dinner - not sure snack - oat meal, milk, 1/2 banana MJ- Glad you went to the gym - take care of that knee, friend.

Dgrammie - it's wonderful to reach an important conclusion about your program. Good thinking. Nicolen - how was the last class with the yummy trainer? Glad the recycling is done!

Just a quickie post from me today. Work is super hectic....really getting sick of people not listening/doing their job. Food hasn't been great today, but I WILL have a healthy dinner. I see the orthopedist tomorrow. Hopefully that will at least settle things in my mind. I'm thinking that is part of what is going on....not really knowing what is up w/ my knee leads me to "flounder".... Have a great OP afternoon/evening. I need to go fill up my water bottle! Beverlyjoy 10-23-2009, 08:38 AM Hi chicks - TGIF - I am glad it's Friday. I am planning on a healthy day. No more pouting because I didn't show a loss when I thought I deserved one.

Everyone - have a GREAT OP day. mj5 10-23-2009, 11:38 AM Hi everyone! Getting ready to head out for my drs appt. Getting nervous, but happy to be able to get a game plan together. I am also happy to report that dh has decided to really make a committment to eating healthier. I don't cook separate meals or anything, but he really wants to make an effort, too. This will make it easier for me, too. I am going shopping after my drs appt, so I'll be back later! lottie63 10-23-2009, 11:44 AM I almost made it through the last two days of TOM without giving in to cravings, then they hit me like a ton of bricks. Two days in a row I ate a bunch of doritos and then had bananas foster french toast last night at eat n park. but now it's over and I"m back on plan. I JUST HATE TOM. TXMary2 10-23-2009, 01:08 PM I was right under 1800 yesterday. 2 scrambled eggs 2 slices bacon 2 slices whole wheat toast w/pat of butter WW Shrimp Marinara Whole Wheat bagel w/ light cream cheese Blackberries with cool whip Slice of cheese Brocolli Cheese Soup 1 cup long grain white rice Banana Snickers Dark (my treat for the week) Slashnl 10-23-2009, 04:17 PM Well, to be accountable, I haven't had a great on plan week. After coming back to work after a week of hunting vacation, I seem to have lost a little zip. I was really tired after hunting/hiking so much, but I have had lots of time to rest and need to get back on it. We are heading up for one more weekend of hunting, so that will give me some good exercise, but I need to really get back on track next week. Back to the gym and recording calories. mj5 10-23-2009, 07:33 PM Ok, I am back from my ortho appt and it isn't good news. A total knee replacement is my only option. I have bone on bone under my kneecap (almost a perfect triangle) and there is a weird divot on the lateral side--dr was totally surprised to see that. that's why the other surgery is no longer an option. He said he "could" technically do the other one, but it would only last 3-4 years and then I would need a total replacement. I had an idea this was coming, but I'm trying to wrap my brain around it. Now it's REAL. raebeaR 10-24-2009, 01:56 AM New to this thread, but here goes: MJ5, what a blow. Even though you were expecting it, it's still an ordeal to be got through and a lot to process. On the bright side, everyone I know who's had knee replacements (and I know a few) have no regrets -- it will be so good when it's all over! Be kind to yourself. Slashnl, I've decided that getting BACK on track is the big secret... we're all going to slip, but it's the ones who manage to come back and keep plugging away who eventually succeed. So good for you for doing it!! TXMary2, Snickers Dark... mmmm. :) lottie63... TOM is the worst... fortunately, that's all behind me now. ;) Beverlyjoy, you're a good daughter. Glad your mom is doing well. Now take good care of YOU! nicolen, it's great to see you around. :hug: Well done for getting the recycling out... and what of the yummy trainer? How was that last session? Me: Had a good first week back on plan (South Beach) and stuck with my exercise routine, too -- alternating days of fat chick yoga and interval walking. Been busy with work but managed to eat healthfully today despite the challenges. Breakfast: 2-egg omelet with peppers, onions and 2 slices turkey bacon Lunch: 1 cup of white chili chicken soup with 1 TB sour cream Dinner: spinach salad with tomatoes, hard boiled egg, oil and vinegar and 1 fillet of Barramundi roasted with sliced onions Snacks: 1 cup LF yogurt, 1 cup SF cocoa Best to all! - Rae Suezeeque 10-24-2009, 02:52 AM Boy, fat people have a whole repetroire of reasons why they can eat, not exercise, ad naseum. Today was my regular swimming day but I told myself it wouldn't hurt to miss a day (I missed weds last week) to go to Canada to the grocery because it was so far to drive if I went swimming first. (90 miles vs. 130 miles); yes I have to drive 90 miles RT to swim. I live in the boonies. Anyway, I was trying to make up my mind and sat in my chair zoning out and kind of stepped outside myself and took a look and realized that the miles were just my convenient excuse to not only miss my exercise, but to go to Canada shopping to get FOOD. The whole bottom line thing was to go get food, even if it was on my food plan. So, I went swimming. God. Have to watch myself 24/7. Today I ate my usual swimming day fare: 1 17 gr protein drink (EAS) 6 chicken nuggets w/ a little mustard 1 side salad with 1/2 dressing 1 vanilla cone 1 bowl tomato soup 1 deli sandwich bread 2 slices of cheese 1/4 cup mixed low-salt nuts Total calories 1400 Now that the lovely summer fruit is gone I have to rework my nightime food to include at least one. I or course eat many veggies, and seasonal fruit on my non-swim days. aubrylin 10-24-2009, 10:47 AM Good-morning all! This is my first time posting here, thought I'd give it a try. Please bear with me as I try to learn who everyone is. Suezeeque-Excuse is my middle name.:D I'm a pro at justifying why I did something unhealthy! raebeaR- You can do it! mj5- Sorry about the knee. But think how much better it will feel when its done. My dh is going to need one eventually, I dread it. Not the surgery, its just that my dh is the worlds biggest baby when he doesn't feel well. I would rather have all 3 kids sick at once, then deal with 1 sick husband!:p lottie63- You made me homesick! Eat n Park! I grew up in Pittsburgh area. My mom worked there for several years when I was kid. It was the place my friends and I always went for dinner and late night snacks! Beverlyjoy- Hope your mom is doing well. JustBeckyV- Do you like the Wii fit plus? I've been trying to decide weather to get that or the resort one. I like the price much better on the fit plus! LOL Hope everyone has a great day!:wave: lottie63 10-24-2009, 11:24 AM aubrylin, hey I live in south oakland, I go to teh squirrel hill eat n park and the one out at the waterfront. :) mj5 10-25-2009, 10:20 AM Good Morning everyone! It's great to see some new faces around! I am still kinda in shock from my appt...I know I need to do this, but now I really wish I had pushed myself and was closer to my goal weight. Can't beat myself up over it, but it would make recovery easier not having all the extra weight. I have been thinking a lot about the training we just had at work too, Psychology of Motivation. We talked about writing down a plan and making it known. That's what I am going to do this morning. I am going to print it off and post it on the refrig. I'll probably put it other places too as a reminder. I am going to stop using a separate calendar as my "reward" calendar--I am going to use the calendar in the kitchen where we write appts, bdays, and other important events. I think by using a separate calendar it was like "keeping a secret"--so if I wasn't being on plan, then no one knew, but me. If nothing else, this surgery has given me a "real" goal. Not that I didn't always want to lose weight to be healthier, but this just makes it more real. Guess it does take a medical issue for some people to really "get it". Phew....that's a lot for an early Sunday morning!!! Rae--Welcome! Thanks. It will be good when it's all over. COngrats on a good 1st week back on plan! Sue--Good for you for going swimming! For me, I plan to go to the gym all day...then about 3:00, I start thinking of "reasons" why it's ok not to go... aubrylin--Welcome!!! Thanks. My dh is too, thank goodness its not him. I have a really high tolerance for pain BUT I am fiercly independent, to a fault sometimes...yea, gonna have to work on that! LOL! Beverlyjoy--How's your mom? Diane--How was hunting? Hope you had nice weather to be outside. lottie--Hope you had a nice weekend!!! Rhonda--Hello! Pop in and let us know how you are doing when you get a chance. Ok, I need to go make my list. I'll share what I come up with. That's all part of "saying it out loud"....and being accountable. Have a great OP day! vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Harnessing yourself to a rope and rappelling into a canyon is challenging enough--but what if on the way down, you run into a waterfall? Since 1999, ATS AdventureWorks has prepared students for exactly this type of outdoor challenge, with courses in canyoneering, mountaineering, and rock climbing. Adventurers can also try their hand at these vertical sports on the company's indoor ropes courses, or on guided trips to rock formations and climbable celebrity homes throughout Southern California. The company's veteran team oversees every outing and class, keeping novices safe and sharing tips on gear and safety. And even when they're not working with students, they're navigating rough terrain and setting up specialty TV rigging for shows such The Amazing Race, The Bachelor, and The Biggest Loser.
The founder of Shaolin Kempo Karate and Villari Martial Arts, Grandmaster Frederick Villari is a 12th-degree blackbelt?the highest rank one can achieve.

The system is also rooted in peace and harmony, leading students to also develop life skills such as discipline, respect, and confidence. Grandmaster Villari has been teaching for more than 40 years, and his style has spread to more than 500 schools that currently teach the method.
The trend-attuned staff at Store13 lines the walls with creative and original brands of street apparel, footwear, and accessories beloved by freestyle cyclists and skateboarders. Andre the Giant chides passersby to do as they are told from the technicolor crest on a Genuine Article T-shirt by Obey ($26). Stow your gear with reliable style inside a blue and grey mini-metro backpack by Chrome ($120), or slip on a black, narrow-brimmed castor woven hat by Brixton ($40) and pair of black canvas sneakers by Cadence ($49.99) to keeps heads and feet stylishly covered in concert.
A seventh-degree black belt in hapkido. An eighth-degree black belt in taekwondo. A 10th-degree black belt in karate. A masters certification in the martial arts from Seoul National University in South Korea. This laundry list of accomplishments belongs to Grand Master Myung II Kim, a South Korea native who started practicing martial arts at the ripe young age of five. At MIK Martial Arts, he and fellow instructors bring their varied areas of MMA expertise to martial arts classes for children and adults. Classes span a wide variety of martial arts; student might find themselves sparring with opponents in karate, jiu-jitsu, taekwondo, and even bowstaff combat.

They also foster a sense of cycling community with weekly rides and bike-centric events that benefit charities and other causes.
The instructors at Ace of Spades Boxing don't just throw anybody into the ring. Their adult boxing program begins with four weeks of strength and conditioning training before the sport's fundamentals—such as basic footwork and jabs—are even introduced. By week nine, teachers incorporate more advanced techniques, including combination punches and drills. After proving yourself with bag and mitt work, it's time to step into the ring for full contact sparring sessions once or twice a week. Open to boxers of all skill levels, Ace of Spades not only hosts classes, but also offers weekly open gym times where patrons can refine their uppercuts.

Aloha All,
Has anyone had good success with ordering fresh water fish from any online or mail order sources? We have one small pet shop forty miles away and another seventy miles away and the rest are over two hundred miles away with ocean in the way so getting fish from a pet shop is really limited. The two available pet shops don't really have a lot of selection and I'm hoping to find a source for some nice angels or discus that can mail them to Hawaii. Anyone know of any or had good luck with an online or mail order source? A hui hou,

Try aquabid.com there are many people there that ship nice angels and discus as well as many other types of fish. I have fish that were bought from there that cost from five dollars to over two hundred dollars and most have come in great shape. The main trick of buying fish from a mailorder shop or online auction site like aquabid is to avoid fish that can be bought locally because the shipping freight will result in fish that can be very expensive. You do not seem to have that problem because of a lack of stores to buy from. Several of the sellers at aquabid are actually based in Hawaii so you will be buying local fish or at least fish that only have to endure a short trip in shipping. |

Alhoa Cathy, I use to have a 3 discus and 2 angel with a small variety of fresh water fish in our 50 gallon aquarium. They are mild temperment, sometimes shy and beautiful colored fish. They can get very large. We had our aquarium for over 5 years until we moved out of state. The Discus are my favorite tropical fish. They tend to be more sensitive to the ph balance of the water so testing should be weekly. You will enjoy them but you probably already know that. Merry Christmas, Theresa |

CSS Tricks: Limiting .text widthHello!Today I wanted to share a little CSS Trick with you Many other people have done this before, awesome people like Ikue, thespook or ginkgografix, and now it's me too This first trick is very simple in execution, but I want to spend some time explaining why you should do it. That's why this journal has become a bit long All about improving Readability!When it comes to designing long copy texts, there are quite some challenges in order to create something easy to read and enjoyable to look at. One of the issues that may occur is text, that is running too long. The longer a line of text gets, the hard it is for the reader to follow the flow of text.In some case you may have to even move your head from the beginning of a line to its end. And once you move your head, it becomes a lot harder to find the next line of text.You may not even notice this while reading. But you will notice that your eyes get tired and you may even get a
CSS Tricks: Background ImagesToday's CSS Trick will be about using background images in Journal Skins.There are three types of images that are mostly used in journals skins: big background images, seamlessly repeatable patterns and icon/logo-like images.Images can be used for all elements of a journal: in the header, footer, behind text, next to text etc.. Any journal element has the ability to contain an imageI cannot stress enough that the main objective of a journal is making written content enjoyable to read. It is all about readability and making it as easy for the reader as possible. Very often I come across pretty journal skins, that have a complete lack of readability. In one of my previous CSS Tricks I already mentioned the dangers of text lengths and how to limit the .text width to improve readability.Problems with using images:Despite being big an images turns out to be too small for a journalAn image does not repeat seamlesslyText becomes non-re

Hey everyone! I decided to enter a homebrew contest. I'm looking for a little help as I am new to this hobby. With the form I have to fill out I have to determine the color and bitterness. I'm entering 2 brews, brown ale, and a 4 hoped citrus ale. Any help on helping me determine what I need to put there or how to come up with that information would be appreciated. Thanks!
Find an app or brew software. I use BrewR on my phone (since I dont have internet at home), and i hear beersmith is a great program to use on your pc. There is a free 30 day trial, i believe with beersmith, and those will give you the correct srm and ibu's. I also have used the hopville beer calculator to formulate recipes. Remember to account for late extract additions as those will affect your total ibu's.

So now we have another act of violence in school. A child is charged with stabbing 22 people. Where is the outrage? This child used a knife and not a gun. If there was a gun involved, the anti-gun activists would be out in full force.
Instead of focusing on the act of violence and the perpetrator, let's focus on the incident as a whole. There is something lacking in our educational system.
