Before and after
The research team scanned the area with LIDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging, which bounces a stream of laser pulses off the ground. New, airborne LIDAR equipment can measure surface features to within a few inches.
The scientists finished a detailed scan over about 140 square miles (360 square km) in less than three days. With this data they were able to discover and map the several faults, including a previously unknown one. Since the Mexican government scanned this area with LIDAR back in 2006, they were also able to compare the old and new data to identify just how the many faults in the area reacted.
"This gives new insight into how faults link together to produce large earthquakes, and how geologic structures incrementally grow these events — for example, folding of rocks and growth of topography and basins around faults," Oskin told OurAmazingPlanet.
The laser scan revealed warping of the ground surface next to the faults that previously could not easily be detected. For example, it revealed folding above the previously unknown Indiviso fault running beneath agricultural fields in the floodplain of the Colorado River. "This would be very hard to see in the field," Oskin said.
Using a virtual-reality facility at the University of California, Davis, the research team handled and viewed data from the survey to see exactly where the ground moved and by how much.
"We can immerse ourselves into the 3D data set, down to the individual point measurements — all 3.6 billion of them for the post-earthquake data set," Oskin said.

Amon G. Carter Stadium
Attendance: None
Fort Worth, TX (Sports Network) - Andy Dalton completed 12-of-20 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns, and Joseph Turner ran for 81 yards and one score on 19 carries as the 11th-ranked TCU Horned Frogs defeated the SMU Mustangs, 39-14, at Amon Carter Stadium.
The game is the traditional Battle for the Iron Skillet in the DFW Duel.
The Horned Frogs outgained the Mustangs 418 to 224 on the evening as SMU was minus-16 yards rushing. Jeremy Kerley returned a punt 71 yards for the go- ahead touchdown in the second quarter.
Also for TCU (4-0), Ed Wesley carried the ball 10 times for 63 yards and Matthew Tucker scored a touchdown on the ground, while compiling 52 yards on nine carries.
B.L. Mitchell connected on 17-of-38 passes for 240 yards with a pair of touchdowns, but was also picked off twice and was sacked four times for the Mustangs (2-2).
While each team accumulated more than 100 yards in total offense in the opening quarter, the first quarter ended with neither team able to score. TCU fumbled away the ball twice in the quarter and SMU missed a field goal attempt of 53 yards.
The Mustangs got on the board first just 23 seconds into the second quarter. Mitchell hooked up with Shawnbrey McNeal on a 24-yard scoring strike.
The Horned Frogs responded with a nine play drive resulting in a 2-yard touchdown run by Antoine Hicks with 10:41 left in the first half. The extra point attempt was blocked to make the score 7-6 SMU.
With five minutes remaining in the quarter, Kerley gave the Horned Frogs a 12-7 lead with the 71-yard punt return. The two-point conversion failed. The Horned Frogs took the same lead into the locker room.
TCU started to put it together in the third quarter. Matthew Tucker ran for an 11-yard touchdown with 10:45 left in the quarter. The two-point conversion again failed as the Horned Frogs led 18-7.
With three minutes remaining in the quarter Turner scored on a one-yard run. The extra point was good, giving TCU a 25-7 lead over the Mustangs.
SMU finished the scoring in the third quarter with a four-yard scoring pass from Mitchell to Emmanuel Sanders to make the score 25-14 with 34 seconds remaining.
Two more touchdowns for TCU in the final quarter put the game out of reach. The Horned Frogs got a 28-yard touchdown pass from Dalton to Hicks with 13:15 left in the game. The final scoring play was a one-yard pass from Dalton to Luke Shivers with 8:21 remaining.
Next Saturday TCU travels to Air Force and SMU plays host to East Carolina.

"Same thing happened to me, as far as the texture being too loose. Here's two possible solutions:
1) Grate a green apple into the mix. Green apples are very high in pectin, and that may help firm up the jam...as far as flavor goes, it shouldn't interfere - if anything, it might be nice. I've done this for pies with excellent..."

Paulinho: Tottenham's Brazilian target will leave Corinthians
Brazil midfielder Paulinho's expected £17m move to Tottenham has moved closer after the player revealed he would be leaving Corinthians.
Last month Paulinho said Spurs had made a bid for him and he would decide his future after the Confederations Cup.
Paulinho factfile
Full name: Jose Paulo Bezerra Maciel Junior
Born: 25 July 1988
Club: Corinthians
Brazil caps: 17
Brazil goals: 5
The 24-year-old scored 34 goals in 167 games for the Brazilian side and featured in his country's 3-0 win over Spain in Sunday's cup final.
"What I have to say to Corinthians is 'see you soon'," he said.
"Pretty soon I'll be back, owing to everything you have done for me."
Real Madrid have also shown interest in Paulinho, but he is expected to move to White Hart Lane.
Paulinho has made 17 appearances for Brazil and scored five times, including goals in their 3-0 Confederations Cup win against Japan and the 2-1 semi-final victory over Uruguay.

3rd July 2013 - 13:47Just tie this deal up Spurs and hurry up about it!
Paulinho is saying all the right things but until it's up on the Spurs website he's not officially a Spurs player.
Him alongside Dembele or Sandro or both will be awesome and no midfield in the Prem will be able to cope - just need a quality striker or two now and we'll have a really good side, physical yet technical and with pace. -
Comment number 248.
3rd July 2013 - 12:30I echo the view of 246 Caio.
I've seen Paulinho a few times (albeit only on TV) and he looks a class above Sandro, therefore could be a wonderful signing for Spurs if they can pull it off. -
Comment number 247.
3rd July 2013 - 11:34The cringiest thing about Mr Toad is that he thinks he is funny. When it comes to being funny on this medium you either have it or you don't and sadly Mr Toad definitley don't. This attack keeps getting used "you're just about to sell your best player" by a number of posters like it's fact and not speculation is desperate stuff. Deal in facts after the fact or it looks like playground bickering.
Comment number 246.
3rd July 2013 - 10:50I am Brazilian, I can say that Paulinho is a great player, who is comparing it with Sandro, this much mistaken, Paulinho is much better. I speak as a fan of the Palm, which is the biggest rival Corinthians.

What to watch tonight as the Raptors conclude a back-to-back set on the road in Chicago against the shorthanded Bulls (8 PM ET, TSN, TSN 1050).
Better Living Through Ball Movement: Can the Raptors continue to get much better ball movement post-Rudy Gay trade? In their last three games, they've posted assist totals of 19, 23 and matched a season high with 24 last night against Philadelphia.
Kyle Lowry, the subject of some pretty intense trade speculation of late, has led the way. He's paced the Raptors in assists for 13 consecutive […]

TORONTO (CP) — In the span of a minute Friday, Terrence Ross scored on an alley-oop, a three-pointer and a massive running dunk, taking off from near the top of the key.
The 22-year-old started his second game in place of the departed Rudy Gay, and made the most of it, scoring 24 points — including a key three in the dying minutes — to lift the revamped Toronto Raptors to a 108-100 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.

Christopher & Banks Corporation Reports Results For The Nine And Forty-Eight Week Periods Ended January 28, 2012
Results for the Forty-Eight Weeks Ended January 28, 2012
- Net sales totaled $412.8 million and same store sales decreased 5%, compared to the same forty-eight week period last year.
- Operating loss totaled $71.8 million and included $21.2 million, or $0.59 per share, of non-cash store asset impairment and restructuring charges. In the third quarter, the Company recorded non-cash asset impairment charges of $11.4 million related to 103 stores identified for closure and other stores the Company will continue to operate. Restructuring charges totaled $9.8 million, including approximately $8.3 million related to accrued lease termination liabilities associated with stores identified for closure as part of the Company's real estate restructuring efforts. The Company also recorded approximately $1.2 million of severance charges related to terminations at its corporate office and in the Company's field organization in the third and fourth quarters. In addition, the Company recorded approximately $0.3 million of other miscellaneous store closing costs.
- Net loss for the forty-eight week period totaled $71.1 million, or ($2.00) per share, including the $0.59 per share for the restructuring and non-cash asset impairment charges mentioned above, and an effective tax rate of 0.5%, which is significantly lower than the statutory rate due to the Company's maintenance of a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
Balance Sheet Highlights and Capital Expenditures
Cash, cash-equivalents and investments totaled $61.7 million as of January 28, 2012. Inventory, excluding in-transit and e-Commerce inventory, increased approximately 2% on a per-store basis as of January 28, 2012, as compared to January 29, 2011. For the forty-eight week period ended January 28, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and capital expenditures totaled approximately $11.7 million.
Real Estate Restructuring Efforts
In November, after an in-depth analysis of its store portfolio, the Company announced its plans to close approximately 100 stores, most of which were underperforming. Ultimately 103 stores were identified for closure and 90 of these stores were closed as of January 28, 2012, with the majority of the remaining stores closing in February and March 2012. In addition to the 90 stores referenced above, the Company closed 29 additional stores in the normal course of business, for a total of 119 store closures for the eleven months ended January 28, 2012. The Company opened 20 new outlet stores, nine new dual stores and one Christopher & Banks store during the eleven-month period ending January 28, 2012. The Company also converted 22 dual stores in existing locations where a Christopher & Banks store and a C.J. Banks store were combined into one location and, finally, 29 additional dual stores were created by adding women's plus size merchandise to existing Christopher & Banks stores. As of January 28, 2012 the Company had 402 Christopher & Banks stores, 199 C.J. Banks stores, 62 dual stores and 23 Outlet stores. For the current fiscal year, the Company intends to conserve cash as it will have a limited number of store openings and thus minimize capital expenditures related to new store openings.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

text: Stimulus package funds now exhausted for summer work-study St. Thomas Newsroom April 30, 2010 The university has exhausted the additional federal work-study funds it received as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (commonly called the federal stimulus package). No additional summer work-study monies will be available from this fund. The Financial Aid Office sincerely thanks all the departments and supervisors who did additional work to create jobs for work-study eligible students and helped to spend the additional funds. This was an effort that truly helped many people. At this time – although we are not certain – we do not anticipate additional stimulus funds to spend in 2010-11 for this purpose. If that changes, we will communicate with the St. Thomas community immediately.

A place to post your menus? Support? A place to vent? A little bit of everything? Then this is the place for you!! Come on over! mj5 04-14-2008, 09:43 AM Good Morning! Ok, so accountability time. No sticker for me last night. I totally overate and I'm not even sure why. I think it was because I was just not really paying attention to how much I ate until I realized I was really full. Pretty discouraging especially since I have been recently 'talking' on here about paying more attention, etc....guess that just shows how easy it is to lose track! Hopped on the scale this am and....maintained. I know TOM is coming, so that may be part of it, but still frustrating. Plan for today is to start writing down what I eat, drink lots of water, and hit the gym after work. I am also going to try to up the intensity while at the gym. I bought a new pedometer over the weekend--I lost mine last week and I was really bummed about it, so I'll start over w/ trying to get an average. I also did 2 miles of a walk slim dvd--I forget which one I popped in, but it's the one w/ more intervals. I was sweating this am! Great way to start the day!!!! Purple--Oh no! I hope you feel better soon! I have never had it, but I have heard it is terrible! Hope everyone is doing well! GirlyGirlSebas 04-14-2008, 10:05 AM Hi, Accountability Friends! Today is my first day back to work. After a horrible night of insomnia, I'm struggling to make sense of the huge workload I had waiting for me. And, today was my official weigh-in day. No surprise....I gained 2.2 pounds. I allowed myself to stay off-plan this weekend. I'm really not sure why. Maybe, if I could figure it out, I'd be at goal by now. It seems like I have a commitment problem. But, like usual, I'll just pick myself back up and keep going. Purple - Sorry to hear about the poison ivy. I've heard that can be painful. Take care of yourself. MJ - Your dedication to your workouts is amazing! Writing everything down is a great idea. My plan for today: To try to stay sane while catching up with work.:dizzy: And, to drag Hubby out there for our walk. Last week, the walking helped me lose 3.2 pounds. I need to stick with what works. Hope everyone has a great on-plan day. Schmoodle 04-14-2008, 12:25 PM good morning chicks, let's see if we can make it through a manic monday unscathed! My plan today: B: oatmeal breakfast bar, deviled egg, coffee S: V8, Triscuits with Laughing Cow lite cheese L: leftover salsa chicken over zucchinni S: latte and an apple with peanut butter D: sloppy Joes without the bun, mashed turnips S: sugar free popsicle Rhonda, I don't think you have a commitment problem. Whenever you have a hiccup you come right back here and get back on track and that's commitment. Don't lose sight of the fact that you've lost 38 lbs. and kept it off. mj, I maintained this week too - but that's a good thing! Next week will be better... scoobie74 04-14-2008, 12:40 PM Yesterday, I took my son out for a mile walk. It is going to be alot warmer this week. We are going to go for a 2-3 mile walk tonight. I am hoping that the weather is finally going to stay nice enough for daily walks. Purplefirefly 04-14-2008, 12:48 PM mj--I am going to buy some small stickers today and steal your idea, hope you don't mind! I have been writing down my daily goals and checking them off, but it's pretty much the same everyday so I am just wasting a ton of paper, the stickers will be easier and less time consuiming. Thanks for the idea. Rhonda--I have aways felt inspired by you because you never give up competely, you acknowledge the bad periods and come back with a new idea. There is just something to the weekends you need to think about...maybe you are seeing it as separate from the week, like a time to let your guard down, relax, unwind, and that leads into your old favorite comfort, food? For me that is the issue, it's a too relaxed and not focused problem...that and convincing myself i'm jsut not strong enough which is not true. A quote I am living by this week: "Failures do what is tension relieving, while winners do what is goal achieving." I am going to ask myself this week "is it tension relieving, or goal achieving?" that will help me judge my options maybe. mj5 04-14-2008, 01:46 PM Hi again! So far so good w/ writing things down...I know it's only 1/2 a day so far, BUT I have already figured something out--I didn't eat enough for breakfast today so even though I had a mid-am snack, I was really, really hungry at lunch. I have also realized that I pack way too much food for lunch. I never eat it all and there is a reason I started doing it--I am never really sure what I want and am afraid that I'll get hungry or decide I don't want what I brought and just decide to get take out. So....something to work on there! I need to bring less--even though I don't eat it all, just having it here is tempting and I need to decide that I am sticking to my one lunch out a week. If I use it up, then I won't be able to go out w/ the 'girls' on Friday--something I LOVE to do. Running to the vending machine is just not an option I would choose even though it is right down the hall. I just picked out my afternoon snack and put the rest away! I'll probably just re-pack it for tomorrow's lunch, but that's ok! Rhonda--Insomnia is horrible! Ok, so you were off plan, BUT you have a great plan! It's so important to keep going! I am getting so frustrated w/ not seeing a loss...I know, I know...the # doesn't matter. BUT, I am really working hard here, I must be doing something wrong...I am hoping by writing things down I will be able to see where my problem areas are.... Schmoodle--I agree, maintaining is a good thing! scoobie--Yea for nicer weather and longer outside walks! Purple--You don't have to steal it, go ahead and use it! I came up w/ it by borrowing ideas from a few other people. It's nice to have that visual!! I really like your quote! bigtxmomma 04-14-2008, 01:50 PM Morning guys! Getting myself back on track, too. I think I'm going to be getting myself in a tizzy up until next week, so I might not be around too much. I've launched back into Phase 1 because I'm eating badly. We're heading to the Y, and I'll be back later for a ton of personals to catch up on. Rayelle 04-14-2008, 04:42 PM Lets start with Monday 4.14: -B: 1 egg -S: 1 string chees -S: 1 sausage and 1 egg -L: 2 eggs w/ sausage -S: 20 almonds -S: Chicken -D: Chicken or Shrimp with Broccoli Ex: 2 miles (1 mile down) and 50 sit ups mj5 04-14-2008, 07:10 PM txmomma--have fun at the Y! Pop in when you can...we are here for you!!! Rayelle--Welcome! I did my planned workout. I even set the bike on intervals...yikes! Talk about intense! I really need to do that again! I was huffing and puffing, sweating, turning red...wait, did I just said I was going to do that again?! Anyway, besides that and bumping up some of my weights, hopefully that will shake things up a little! Have a great night! Darkblue 04-15-2008, 12:52 AM On-plan day, despite forgetting my lunch and having to grab food in the cafeteria. Bleh--remind me to never forget my lunch again. 1570 k/cal, 16g fiber :(, 1L water I have a bit of a cold, so I'm just dragging today. Hope everyone had a great on-plan day! math puppy 04-15-2008, 03:45 AM Hey there. Ugh, I had a not so good week. Not op at all. And I gained 2 lbs, wich im not broken up over because its only 2lbs and as history has proven to me, I can put away TONS of food, so it could have been much worse. I wasn't weighing myself in the morning, journaling my food intakes, or checking in here. All ingredients for a back track. Well, I weighed myself this morning, checked in tonight, and I kept track of my food in my food journal. ( just gotta add in my snack) I just gotta keep it up! I gotta! I don't know where my motivation went but im hoping I can drag it back out from where ever it is hidden (even if kicking and screaming, I will drag it back!) Yawn! Well im sleepy, so off to bed. Ill weigh myself tomorrow morning and my goal is to check in every night of the week. So ill see you all tomorrow! Girlygirlsebas- I gained 2 lbs too! We can lose them together this week eh? Mj- writing things down is what keeps me on track. Good luck! I love it when I get to bump up my weights. Bigtxmomma- have a good work out Darkblue- lol, cafeteria food bleh! That made me laugh. Good job finding solutions even when said lunch Is forgotten! Purple- those are pretty purple flowers on your pic. Beverlyjoy 04-15-2008, 06:53 AM Hi folks...it's good to be back home. We had a wonderful trip - visiting our family and grandson - also, visiting with old time friends (we lived in Michigan for 23 years and have many friends there). WOW - being a grandma is so, so fantastic. :D So much fun with my little grandson (14 months) He is such a cutie pie. He is constantly jibber jabbering away. He runs around and climbs on everything. He loves to play "hide and seek" - where he stands behind his crib and folks go into is room saying "Where's Alex?" You "look" in th closet, behind the door and chair - and then act suprised when you "find" him behind the crib. Then he giggles. What fun!! My food was kind of shakey. I made many good choices - but, ultimately overate Sunday night and yesterday. I am glad the everyday is a new beginning. I'll plan for and carry on healthfully today. getting hair colored today working on some publicity today confirmation letter for summer work stretches meditation journal food ice/heat lots of water breakfast - cottage cheese, melon, pnb toast snack - tea lunch - hummus, cheese wrap- pepper strips snack - apple dinner - chicken, green beans, noodles snack - cherrios, 1/2 banana, flax, skim milk Mj5- sorry you lost your pedometer - glad you got a new one! :) Some day's it's so easy to lose track - hop right back on your plan. I think your idea of writing it down is good - it has always helped me. GREAT job on all you exercise - dvd and all!!! :D:D Purple - so, so sorry to hear about the poison ivy - ugh. :hug: Hang in there. I love your quote - it's a good thing to think about during the day, yes. Schmoodle - great plan!! :D Scoobie - wonderful job on your walk! :D bgtxmama- you CAN do this - great job on going to the Y :D Rayelle - Welcome!! good job on planning ahead. It can be helpful. :) Darkblue - great job on staying on plan at the cafeteria! :D Hope your cold is better soon. Math - you can do this...plan for a good day and carry on. :) Everyone - have a wonderful on plan day - be kind to yourself. scoobie74 04-15-2008, 09:34 AM I made it out for a mile walk yesterday. I was going to go further, but my son was not cooperating. It is suppose to be in the 70's here today so I am hoping that my son will want to go for a longer walk. I might take him for one before we eat and one after we eat. Maybe he will go to sleep on the 2nd walk!! mj5 04-15-2008, 10:21 AM Hi everyone! I don't have time for p's, but wanted to say in an effort to stop obsessing about the # on the scale, I didn't weigh this am and I wore a pair of jeans that were tight when I bought them, but are now loose. What better way to remind me that what I am doing is working!!!!! Very sleepy this am, so no watp dvd, but I will hit the gym and try and different interval on the bike--what a way to work up a sweat! Talk to you later! Schmoodle 04-15-2008, 10:37 AM Good Tuesday morning chicks, Here's today: B: oatmeal breakfast bar, hard boiled egg, coffee S: V8, triscuits with Laughing Cow cheese L: leftover salsa chicken and zucchini S: latte and an apple D: shrimp with cashews stir fry S: bean brownie with FF cool whip If I get the munchies, I've got some raw veggies cut up and some sugar free popsicles. I also plan to do my new 4 mile WATP today. Good luck with your walks today scoobie! Welcome home Beverlyjoy! Sounds like you had a wonderful trip. 14 months is such an adorable age. mathpuppy, you are back and that's what counts. As i've heard the other chicks say, fake it until you make it. Get back on track and your mojo will come back! purple, I love the stickers, I stole that idea too. I put one up on the wall in my office for every good day (Sponge Bob, I stole them from DD)! Very motivating. And I love your focus for the week. When I look back over the year, I realize that the lessons I've learned along the way are more valuable to me than the weight lost or days on plan - they are the things that are going to see me through this! mj, I don't journal, but just putting my day's food down here really helps me out. After I type it out, I take a look and check to see if I've got my 4.5 cups of veggies in there, not more than two grains, one or two fruits, etc. It helps to balance out the day, and you can really see the trends over time. Have a good Ph1 bigtx! It's so helpful to be able to go back to that to get on track, isn't it. Hope your week isn't too tough! darkblue, hope your cold is better! Have a great day! Rayelle, what plan are you on? Is it Atkins? I always like to see what people are doing. I conked out before the kids did last night and had one of my 10 hour sleep nights. I feel great this morning. I don't know why I get so tired and need so much sleep sometimes though! I haven't been burning the midnight oil or anything... Today is very ordinary, work, laundry, a little cleaning, DD has her piano lesson. And we need to get her birthday party invitations addressed and mailed out. Have a good one chicks! bigtxmomma 04-15-2008, 12:54 PM Hey guys! I'm feeling more relaxed today. I slept well. Today I need to do errands, and buy tickets for the Rush concert on Sunday (DH's early bday present). We're going to take DD. !!!! It's an outdoor amphitheater, and we're getting lawn seats, so I think she'll really enjoy it. Plus Rush is pretty tame. I hope. Welcome Rayelle! lol mj @ your puffing and sweating on the intervals! Good job with your workout! That is frustrating to maintain esp when you work so hard. A more substantial breakfast is a good idea. Eating early on really helps hold off the cravings for me. What do you eat for breakfast, anyway? Maybe you should get a ritual. I freakin' love breakfast. It's my favorite meal of the day. Eggs & fresh coffee, mmmmm. Yay for loose jeans!!!! =D That's better motivation than the fickle scale. Rhonda, I agreew with Schmoodle. You do not have a commitment problem. I wonder what it is about the weekend that just blows things off. Did you and DH go on your walk? Scoobie, good job on your walk! Beverly, welcome back! I'm glad you had an awesome visit with your family and got some quality time in with your grandson!!!!!!!!! =D You can get back on track! =D Schmoodle, woohooo 10 hours of sleep! And awesome job prepping for the week. What bean brownie recipe do you use? I saw one on Heidi Swanson's blog made with agave nectar. It looks killer. But I feel bad about the idea of using an entire $7 bottle of agave nectar on a pan of brownies. Which WATP are you using now? I think I'll do a WATP this afternoon. I miss Leslie. Purple, your rant touched my heart. Thank you. I bet a lot of our eating problems start with the family we grew up in. =/ The poison ivy sounds AWFUL! How are you feeling today? Darkblue, I hope you feel better. Isn't cafeteria food depressing? Sigh. Math, keep checkin' in and don't despair. Your motivation will come and go. You can borrow some from us. That's what I always do when my motivation has been shot through the roof. =/ It's so good to have other people going through the same struggles. mj5 04-15-2008, 07:38 PM Hey everyone! I did my planned workout. I couldn't get "my" bike at the gym (possessive aren't I?), so the intervals were different and less intense. It was still good, although I wasn't sweating as much. I'll keep trying for 'my' bike! I also increased a couple other weights today...not so sure my arms are going to be happy w/ me tomorrow! I'll catch up w/ you all tomorrow! bigtxmomma 04-16-2008, 01:04 AM lol mj, aren't the bikes all the same? hehehehehe I have a favorite treadmill. All the ceiling fans seem to blow into it. It's pretty windy, and I like it. Good job with your workout! =D Woohoo! My day went okay. We went across town to pick up Rush tickets, so DD didn't nap until late and was super cranky. I didn't get a chance to exercise because DH came home. So I ran out to the Y around 9 tonight and just did 20 mins bike and 20 mins treadmill. Food is going ok. Does anyone get super hungry on Phase 1? I'm eating soooooo much more since I stopped eating carbs. =/ I have no idea if it's real hunger or if it's fear-of-starvation hunger. bigtxmomma 04-16-2008, 01:07 AM Oh, also... a sort of NSV: I'm pleased because my blood pressure is lower. I've been checking it each time I go to HEB and it's like 110/70. It was usually like 150/90. =D MY HEART IS HAPPY. math puppy 04-16-2008, 03:06 AM hey there. had a good work out today, but now my knee hurts! grrr. i hate that. i better be carful next time i work out. i dont want to injur my knee anymore then it is! food was okay too. i didnt make it into my lowest lvl of calories, but i was below my middle :D dont have time for personals, i have to get up very early but i read all your entries! see you all later. have a good day! Beverlyjoy 04-16-2008, 08:52 AM H friends...I had a on plan day yesterday - I am grateful. I have a busy day - PT, storytelling in the afternoon, open mic storytelling this evening (I am the mc). My foot is quite sore from being so busy last weekend. I guess, I'll learn my limits as time goes on. heat/ice stretches meditation lots of water PMA breakfast - kashi waffle with pnb, melon lunch - chicken, green beans, garlic toast snack - hb egg whites, 1/2 banana dinner (out) - lentil soup, small salad snack - cherrios, strawberries, flax, skim milk I hope you all have a GREAT day. Schmoodle 04-16-2008, 09:07 AM Here's today: B: oatmeal, hard boiled egg, coffee S: V8, triscuits with Laughing Cow cheese L: leftover taco soup and mashed turnips S: latte and an apple D: shrimp with cashews stir fry S: bean brownie with FF cool whip Looks a lot like yesterday because DH messed up my dinner plans and I ended up not cooking! Good morning chicks, Happy Hump Day! Beverly, I was on plan too yesterday! We deserve a carrot. :carrot: Have a great day mathpuppy! Way to go bigtx! Lower bp is a wonderful NSV! Some of the chicks on the SB part of the forum fiddled around with the brownie recipe until they got it just right. I think it's posted under Kara's Bean Brownies. If you can't find it let me know. It uses half agave and half sugar free syrup, but I think only 1/4 cup of each. They're not super-sweet, but I prefer them that way, kind of like a bittersweet dark chocolate taste, so yummy. Plus they are totally guilt free, and so full of protein that they are a really filling snack. mj, hope you get "your" bike today! I think I will skip the WATP today (I did the 4 mile super challenge yesterday and I am sore), and do some yoga at lunch instead. Hope you chicks have a great on-plan day! scoobie74 04-16-2008, 09:46 AM I did a 2 mile walk last night. It was so windy here yesterday (45-60 mile an hour winds!!!). My son fell asleep during the first mile. I was going to do a 3rd but the wind kept getting worse. It is going to be another nice day here. We are going to do at least 2 miles tonight. We almost got the garage organized so I will be able to start using the treadmill in the garage while my son plays!!! mj5 04-16-2008, 10:27 AM Good Morning! Unfortunately, I was really sleepy again this am and didn't get up to do a watp. I don't want to make this a habit, though....I really feel best when I do some cardio in the am. Today I will go to the gym for legs/back and more bike (hopefully *mine* ;) ) If I have time tonight I would really like to take the dogs for even a short walk! They would love it! Darkblue--I hope you feel better! Forgetting your lunch stinks...I almost did that myself today. math puppy--So glad you checked in, I was getting worried! Motivation comes and goes, the important thing is to keep coming back to it, even when it's hard! Me too! I think that was part of my boredom/slump...I was doing the same old thing...Oh no, not your knee! Take care of yourself!! Beverlyjoy--I can hear the smile in your 'voice' when you talk about your grandson!!! I am so glad you had a great trip! scoobie--It's getting nicer here too. I want to incorporate some outside walks w/ the dogs...they need the exercise too! schmoodle--I like having my little notebook, so far...that way I have it in my hand if I am tempted--I also read through it before I decide if I am going to have a snack--sometimes I do end up having a snack, but try to go for something healthier because I know I have to write it down. txmomma--YEA for feeling better! I'm not a big breakfast person, that's probably part of my problem. Plus I take a med for my thyroid and I have to wait and hour after I take it before I eat. I usually take my breakfast to work and eat while I am checking messages, e-mail, etc. I know, not good to be so distracted while eating, but better than not eating at all! Actually, no my gym has several different brands of recombinant bikes. There is only one of 'mine' and I like the settings on it the best. I guess I have to learn to share, though....CONGRATULATIONS on lower bp!!! That is fantastic!!!!! kissingginger 04-16-2008, 04:45 PM hi ladies! I'm around - drowning in stress and too much to do. Lots of running around and family commitments - all good ones... However, I'm maintaining but I'm going to see some numbers drop this Monday - I'm still checking in, just not getting enough time to post. Cheers, Ginger Darkblue 04-17-2008, 12:04 AM Yesterday was such a horrible off-plan day that I don't want to talk about it. Went to bed feeling disgusted with myself. Today was better-- Breakfast--Smart Choice cereal, skim milk, clemetine, hot tea Lunch--my usual wheat pita bread sandwich and 8 Sunchips Snack--blueberries Dinner--small chicken breast, asparagus, broccoli, salad, iced tea, 1/2 breadstick 1560 kcal, 21 g fiber, water I'm still feeling too wiped out to exercise, though I know I should. --------------------------------------------- mathpuppy--I'm right with you on the off-plan week. 2.2 pound weight gain isn't so bad, and you should be able to drop that in a week. Be careful with that knee! Beverly--glad you had such a good trip! Great menu plan, must try that one myself. Schmoodle--great menu! Sounds like you have a busy day! Ten hours' sleep sounds wonderful. Did you wake up with a lot of energy? Txmomma--whooot! Lowered blood pressure is definitely wonderful! That's some work to be proud of! Ginger--stress stinks. Maintaining is good, but i'll cross fingers that the numbers are down! mj5--sound slike you might need some more sleep! Take care of yourself! Beverlyjoy 04-17-2008, 07:51 AM Hi friends - I stayed around 1500 calories yesterday - I am grateful. However, it was a little "snacky". I keep wanting 'just a little more' of this and that. I know it's because I am tired and feeling a bit stressed. I am going to work on that. storytelling this morning orthopedist this afternoon stretches ice/heat meditation water! journal/log food breakfast - egg white scramble, pnb toast, 1/2 banana lunch - cottage cheese and melon, crackers, carrots snack - yogurt, flax dinner - sloppy joes on toast, brocolli snack - cereal, strawberries, skim milk I'll come back later for personals...gotta go. Have a GREAT day. mj5 04-17-2008, 10:22 AM Hi everyone! I got 'my' bike last night, but about 1/2 way through I was wondering why I ever wanted it!!!! Wow...I was sweating up a storm, but that's a good thing, right?! I only did 20 intense mins on the bike (got out of work late) and then went right home and took the dogs for a brisk walk. It was great to get outside!!!! This am I did only did 1 mi of a walk slim w/ intervals. I needed to spend a little extra time 'beautifying'....I have a board meeting to go to during lunchtime for my supervisor, so I wanted to look nicer than usual. I am going to eat my own lunch before I go (NEVER healthy food at this meeting) and I'll take water to drink during the meeting. That way I won't be as tempted by all the junk there. That's the plan, anyway! Today I am going to leave work as close to on time as possible. Do legs/back weights and another 'varied' session on the bike. Then it's off to the grocery store. Gotta run...Hope everyone is having a great on plan day! Schmoodle 04-17-2008, 10:41 AM Hi chicks, I'll be back later to visit, just wanted to get my plan down in writing before I got too far into the day! B: oatmeal breakfast bar, hard boiled egg, coffee S: V8, celery with Laughing Cow cheese L: leftover salsa chicken or stir fry S: latte and an apple D: ??? S: bean brownie Hope you are having a good one! bigtxmomma 04-17-2008, 12:16 PM Hey guys. Last night I overate. I was in feedbag/pity party mode. I'm hormonal and bloated and miserable. But it is soon TOM, so I think that's what's causing my bout of insanity. I also didn't exercise that much -- did some weights, tho. Did anyone start spending more money once they tried to defeat their food addiction? I'm a veryyyyyyyy thrifty person and never buy anything because I think it's wasteful and kinda silly. But now I'm seriously going nuts with the shopping. =/ I think I might make DH take away my credit cards. I'm not making good choices. Anyway, plan for today is to go the gym for some sweat equity. Ok, I'm watching the Biggest Loser. Do they always make the chubbies run? I'm envious. mj5 04-17-2008, 04:24 PM Hi everyone! Wow, what a meeting this afternoon....luckily someone else went with me...other people there were firing questions at us...I think they purposely did it b/c our supervisor wasn't there, but whatever. We answered them w/ no problems. SO glad I ate before I went! On the surface it look like they made an attempt to be 'healthier', but the veggie pizza was loaded w/ layers of cheese, the salad was soggy w/ dressing--I must say it looked good (except the soggy salad!) txmomma--Hi! How are you feeling today? New day, fresh start! What did you do for exercize? I have always been a little too happy to shop, so no... I am going to head to the gym. I haven't been going on Thurs b/c, but dh has to work really, really late so I figured I might as well go! Even if I don't do a lot, it's better than not going at all! Gotta run....talk to you later! kissingginger 04-17-2008, 05:26 PM OKay Schmoodle - I NEED to know - what is a bean brownie? Today's plan: B: 1 slice of french toast, tea S: Apple L: cucumber, peppers, onion and chicken with balsamic vinegar S: egg whites, carrots D: meatloaf made with zuccini and carrots, 1 slice, steamed veggies. S: apple or orange Hope everyone is doing okay! Cheers, Ginger mj5 04-17-2008, 09:07 PM Hi ginger! So glad you are popping in when you can! I did my planned workout, even though I really wasn't feeling it--I started to get a really bad headache just before I left work, but rather than blowing it off, I popped some ibuprofen and hit the gym. By the time my workout was done, my headache was gone. Now, I cannot say that I gave it my 'all', but at least I went! How is everyone else doing? I know some of us are struggling right now...don't stay away....this is when we can support each other through the bad times!!!! Today was gorgeous, but since I haven't gotten around to getting my pedi yet, I couldn't wear sandals. I just took off the layers of nail polish from my toes and am going to attempt to paint my toes...something I haven't done in, well years. All I know is I AM wearing sandals tomorrow!!! My little piggies need some sunshine! Have a great night! Darkblue 04-18-2008, 12:12 AM Breakfast--Orowheat whole-wheat English muffins, with one tsp butter, scrambled egg, 1C skim milk, hot tea Lunch--Lean Pocket, Gala apple, water Dinner--chicken, salad, watermelon, small amounts of broccoli and sweet potato, water ~1600 kcal, 16g fiber ------------------ mj5, going to the gym even when your head hurts shows true determination. You rock! Beverlyjoy 04-18-2008, 08:16 AM Hi chickies...yesterday was a good on plan day - I am grateful! For today: storytelling tonight PT shopping for company coming this weekend ice/heat stretches journal and log food mediation PMA Breakfast -kashi waffle with pnb, 1/2 banana lunch - Morning Star "corn dog", carrots snack - apple, cracker dinner - HC dinner, green beans snack - cereal, flax, skim milk I've got to run. I'll be back this afternoon. Have a GREAT day! GirlyGirlSebas 04-18-2008, 08:44 AM Hi Friends...and, Happy Friday! I've been lurking a bit this week. This cold/allergy/sinus thing is kicking my butt. This all started two weeks ago when Hubby and I started walking together without knowing that we were at the beginning of extremely high pollen counts. I've been self medicating myself with over-the-counter cold and sinus medication, but nothing is working. Today, I finally decided to stop being stubborn and go to the doctor. I probably need antibiotics. I hate taking that stuff! One of the side effects of the medicine I've been taking is that it triggers my depression and I have just not been myself. That's part of the reason why I've stayed away from here this week. I don't want to inflict my negativity on everyone. I've been trying to comfort myself with the starchy carbs and anything I can find here in our junk free house...and I had gained 2.2 pounds for my weigh-in this past Monday. This week, I've managed to lose that 2.2 pounds again. I'm not really sure how...maybe, although I'm eating a lot of starchy, I'm not eating as many calories as usual? Hopefully, I can start getting back to "normal" in the next few days. I'll drop back in again this weekend. Hope everyone is having a great on-plan day. scoobie74 04-18-2008, 09:38 AM Happy Friday morning! I made it for a 2 mile walk on Wednesday. Thursday it was raiining and again today it is raining. It is suppose to be really nice this weekend. We are planning on taking my son to the zoo on Saturday so hopefully we do lots of walking! Schmoodle 04-18-2008, 11:03 AM good morning chicks, and TGIF!!! Work today as usual, then I'm supposed to meet a friend for some shopping this afternoon, but I may cancel because I don't want to get stuck in traffic and be late for my grandmother's birthday party tonight. She is turning 93 years young! I forgot to buy laundry detergent last week, so my laundry mountain has been growing all week, and I want to get started on that today too. It's a nice day so I can line-dry. We should be sunny and in the 80's today! Ginger, here's a link to the bean brownie recipe. It doesn't require any flour and I like them. They don't taste like beans, you wouldn't know there was any in there, just be sure to rinse them well and blend the heck out of it. Let me know if you try them, some folks love them, others hate them... http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=138553 my plan for the day: B: Black beans with salsa and cheese S: V8, celery with Laughing Cow Cheese L: leftover chicken stir fry with brown rice S: latte and an orange D: South Beach frozen pizza and salad (maybe a bite of my grandmother's cake...) S: Greek yogurt with agave and almonds if needed mj5 04-18-2008, 12:36 PM Good Morning! TGIF!!!! It is gorgeous and sunny here today! Really hard to focus on work...I just made list of things I must accomplish, hopefully that will help.... I am really tired and feel all bloated and icky today--TOM is right around the corner and that's what is causing it. After the gym (YES I am going...that was more to convince myself!) I have some errands to run--I am going to try to find a couple cute pairs of workout capris. Then home to pay bills. A rockin' fun Friday night for me! Darkblue--Thanks...I am the queen of excuses and even when I am doing well w/ going to the gym, it is SO easy for me to fall off track. Even today, I am really tired and I am already 'battling' with myself about going or not going to the gym later....the problem is, once I "skip" it is way, way too easy to say "I didn't go yesterday, so I won't go today either....." So I AM going today. I may only do some cardio, but I will keep my routine of going. beverlyjoy--Good for you! Have fun w/ your company this weekend! Rhonda--I am so glad you popped in. I am sorry to hear you have been feeling so icky. Good for you for losing lose those 2.2lbs! I hope you can do something nice for yourself--you deserve it. scoobie--Great job! Ooh, the zoo sounds like fun! My dh has NEVER been to a zoo, I am taking him this summer! Schmoodle--Happy bday to your grandma! Ugh, laundry pile...I hate those....good luck getting it down! K, gotta run....have a great day! mj5 04-18-2008, 07:20 PM Wow...another quiet day! Accountability time...I did not go to the gym. all that talking to myself just didn't work! By the time the end of the day rolled around I was literally struggling to keep my eyes open, so I caved....I will not beat myself up about it, but I will make sure I get in a good workout tomorrow. I have to make something for dinner, luckily there isn't any junk in the house and I avoided all of the fast food places on my way home...way too tempting , especially when tired to just pick something up quick! Have a good night! It's going to be an early to bed night for me! Darkblue 04-18-2008, 11:59 PM We ate dinner out tonight, and I know I went over about 400 on my calories. However, I spent about an hour and a half doing some physical labor outside today and hope that will cancel out my extra calories! I need to go shopping...am out of too many of my healthy foods! --------------------------------------- Hope everyone had a good Friday, and has something fun planned for the weekend! Beverlyjoy 04-19-2008, 06:43 AM Happy Saturday Folks. Yesterday I stayed on plan - about 1500 calories. I drank lots of water, worked out a little bit at PT. I am grateful. :) This weekend I have family coming in to stay here - we have a bridal shower to go to on Sunday. Tonight we'll have a cookout. :) I know my SIL is bringing pies for dessert. :dizzy: I bought a watermelon, too. I'll probably have a bite of pie, then the watermelon. Today: meditation ice/heat lots of water log food PMA - positive mental attitde breakfast - egg whites scrambled with ketchup, pnb toast, half banana lunch - turkey and cheese wrap, green beans snack - apple dinner - steak, corn on the cob, green beans, bite of pie, watermelon snack - cereal, milk Have a great day!! Schmoodle 04-19-2008, 09:55 AM Happy Saturday chicks! I am 2lbs. down this morning woo-hoo! Today should be nice weather. DD has an ice skating birthday party to attend, DS has horseback riding, then a sleepover at the farm tonight for the teacher's aides, and hopefully DD1 will finish painting the living room. I'll be working on Mount Laundry and switching out the winter clothes for summer. Hopefully we (by we I mean DH mostly) will get the garden plot fertilized. I got a meeting with my program manager thrown on me late yesterday for Monday AM, so I will also be working to get ready for that, ick. Here's my plan for the day: B: oatmeal with milk and dried cherries S: cheese stick if I get hungry L: We'll be scraping for lunch, I haven't shopped yet! S: latte and an orange D: Beef Stew S: Greek yogurt with agave nectar I'm allowed my weekly chocolate and popcorn tonight if I want it. I skipped my glass of wine last night. Beverly, woo-hoo for on-plan days! Have a great time with your family. It's so cute that you put your bite of pie in the plan. Planning ahead is the ticket! Blue 400 is not so bad, you'll make that up in no time! mj, I've given myself 4 passes during the month for no-exercise days, and I can use them whenever I want. Helps me to not feel guilty for skipping a day, as long as I don't go over 4. Did you find your capris? Here's a picture of the birthday girl. Isn't she amazing? I really hope I got the genes that'll have me partying at 93, and with amazing skin - she's hardly got a wrinkle. It was a surprise party, and this is her coming in the door. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh126/Schmoodlethefirst/HBtoyouMemas93rd.jpg mj5 04-20-2008, 09:23 AM Good Morning! I wasn't around yesterday because I tore our living room apart...Oh my, I knew it was going to be dusty and dog hairy, but WOW, it was GROSS! Dh even 'threatened' to take a pic of me washing windows to send to my mom....funny guy! ;) At least today we get to enjoy the nice clean living room! Next weekend on to the dining room! I will be so very glad when our Spring cleaning is done! Rhonda--How are you feeling? Beverlyjoy--Good for you! How was the cookout? Schmoodle--YEA 2lbs down congrats! Great job! Mount Laundry...that's funny! I like your 4 pass days...I sort of make sundays my choice day, my body needs a day off, but sometimes I find I want to go for a walk or something. Didn't find any capris I liked...so I'll keep looking. Thanks for asking. Wow, she looks incridible!!! I think I have more wrinkles than she does!!! Purple--How are you? txmomma--How are you? Thank you for the pm...I am assuming it is the meditation stuff. I am going to check it out as soon as I am done here. How is everyone else doing? I totally ate junk last night and am paying for it today. No lame excuses, I just did it. I am SO paying for it today....I feel icky, (bloated, stomach hurts)...serves me right for eating so much junk. Today is a new day. I will drink lots of water and start fresh. What I will NOT do is use it as an excuse to eat junk again today. I need to call and make an appt for my mani/pedi (I have earned both now)....delaying my reward is kind of defeating the purpose of my mini-rewards....I'm learning as I go here! The other night I bought some K2O protein water. Has anyone tried it? I want to say Purple mentioned it quite a while ago, but I could be wrong. It is SO good! I tried the lemon twist kind. It was like a nice tart lemonaid. A little pricey, though, so last night I bought a couple of the pre-mixed bottles and a package of the singles mix which is a lot cheaper. I'm hoping that for those times when I come home from the gym and want a snack before dinner....one of those will hold me over better. I have tried SO many of the different kinds of drinks on the market right now and don't like most of them, but this one I really like. Have a great day everyone! Purplefirefly 04-20-2008, 10:58 AM mj--thanks for asking who I am...I've been battling nasty poison ivy but it is finally getting better, and doing a ton of yard work both in front flowerbeds and out back where we are about to put up a new building. Task for this weekend was moving a bunch of 80 lb. shingle packages (ouch), taking down our huge chain link fence, and moving some dirt from the neighbors yard to ours to level with (he wants to have a big garden, so we dug it for him with our tractor, pulling his dirt down into our yard, worked out great. About the protein water, it is less expensive if you buy the little packs, and I get the Nestle bottled water at Walmart for 3.88 a 24 pack, and mix myself. Plus, watch out for sales, it goes on sale here 2/$5 regularly, and if you clip coupons I have gotten some $1 off and used them on the sale prices. The strawberry kiwi kind is my fav. mj5 04-20-2008, 05:41 PM Purple--Yard work w/ poison ivy does NOT sound like a good time...of course, I hate yard work w/ a passion.....thanks for the tip on sales and coupons, I will watch for them. I have probably ignored lots of them b/c I hadn't tried it yet! So far my favorite is the lemon twist (it really reminds me of the lemonade my grandfather used to make....not exactly, but close), which unfortunately doesn't come in the little packs....I did buy some pink lemonade packets, so hopefully that will be similiar. I will try the strawberry kiwi too. YES...we do coupons here...w/ the prices of groceries these days you pretty much have to. K, I need to get dinner started...have a great evening everyone! bigtxmomma 04-20-2008, 08:14 PM Hey guys! I'm kind of feeling like Rhonda, that I don't want to post because all I can say is negative stuff. I'm leaving for D.C. in a few days, and when I get back I'm taking a big old ax to my pity party. I have the feeling that the rut I'm in at the moment is because of all the issues I have with my family. So I'll be back next Tuesday. Don't forget about me, please! Darkblue 04-20-2008, 11:33 PM Txmomma, take care! We'll be thinking about you. Purple, I hope the poison ivy goes away soon! mj5--what is vitamin water? Is there anything odd in it, such as artificial sweeteners or preservatives? Does it taste ok? I don't think I've seen that. ---------------------------- I'm down 16 pounds since I joined here, and let myself have a day today where I just ate what I wanted. Oddly enough, I wanted whole wheat, tea, and fruit. Weird. I kept count of the calories out of habit and discovered I was only over by about 150 from my normal limit. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

We are having a bathtub converted to a shower stall. The bathroom is 5'x8'. The contractor is going to make the shower stall base. It would be 5' long. Would a depth of 32" including the step or 26" without including the step be enough? Any input is greatly appreciated. |

We have 32" included the step, which is about 4" wide, and it's the narrowest I'd want it to be. |
- Posted by Lotteryticket (My Page) on Tue, Jan 7, 14 at 17:54
Agree that 32" is about as narrow I would want, too. |
Hi Jane, Any reason your step is going to be 6" wide? I just measured both of mine, and they are 4". Your glass will probably be halfway on the step, so you should gain another 2-3 " of elbow space. If I had a choice, I'd rather the 2" be inside my shower, rather than used on the step/curb. 32" is enough. |
- Posted by Anna_in_TX (My Page) on Tue, Jan 7, 14 at 19:56
One thing that I'm going to do in my narrow shower to get elbow room is to build a long shelf. This will help out when shampooing hair, etc. The following picture may not be your style, but you can browse Houzz and find lots of examples. |

sjhockeyfan, thank you very much for sharing your shower stall's information. So your shower base's width from wall to the step's inner edge is 28". What is your step made up of --- 2 bullnoses or tile and metal trims? Lotteryticket, thanks for your information. raehelen, appreciate your help. My contractor said with two bullnoses of 3" width, the step would be 6" wide. For 4" step, 32" wide shower stall would have a base space of 28" (32 - step width 4). But if I have 6" step, in order to have the base space of 28"(not including step width), I need to have a total width of 34" including step (28+6). So does your rectangular shower stall have a width of 28" not including the step? What are your steps made up of---2 bullnoses or tile and metal trims? Anna-in-TX, thank you very much for sharing the picture. It's a smart option. |
This post was edited by janesylvia on Wed, Jan 8, 14 at 2:23
Jane, My shower bases are cultured marble, so they are just a solid surface 4" wide. Instead of using bullnose tiles, you could use a solid marble or granite piece, something to match your vanity counter? Not sure how it would look, but your tiler could also cut down the bullnose tiles to 2" each instead of 3". Is there a tile that has a bullnose on both sides? My base is 36" wide with a 4" curb, so base space is 32", but in reality, 34" since glass is in middle of curb, so gives me another 2". |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Wed, Jan 8, 14 at 11:57
My shower floor is tile, and the three surfaces of the curb is marble tile that matches the floor in the rest of the bathroom. Here's a picture. (Sorry it's so big, I couldn't figure out how to make it smaller). |

MURDER TRIAL SENTENCE GEORGE HERSEY THE GAZETTE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22d, 1862 Court Calendar Supreme Judicial Court February Term---Judge Merrick presiding The February Term of the Supreme Judicial Court for this County commenced its session in this town, on Tuesday morning, the 18th inst., Judge Merrick presiding, the Chief Justice being temporarily present for the purpose of imposing the sentence of death upon George C. Hersey. -- There was quite a large attendance of spectators, including several ladies. Hersey was brought into Court at 9¼ o'clock, after which an impressive prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Bacock of this town. Attorney General Foster then made the following motion: "May it please your Honor: George C. Hersey, tile prisoner at the bar, at a former term of this Court, was arraigned upon an indictment found against him by the Grand Jury of this County for the willful murder of Betsey Frances Tirrell, to which he pleaded not guilty. Counsel of his own selection was assigned to him by the Court. After a thorough and patient trial, in which his defense was conducted with fidelity and zeal, an impartial jury returned a verdict of guilty in the first degree. His exceptions and a motion filed in arrest of judgment have been overruled, after solemn argument, before the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth .It remains my painful duty to move the Court to impose upon him the sentence of the law for the crime of which he stands convicted. This motion I now make." The clerk then called on the prisoner, and asked him if he had anything to say why the sentence of the law should not be passed upon him. To this Hersey replied in a clear, calm voice: "I have nothing to say, sir." Judge Bigelow rose, and all in Court following his example, the judge thus addressed the prisoner: JUDGE BIGELOW'S ADDRESS George C. Hersey--It now becomes the painful duty of the Court to award against you the judgment, which the law affixes to the crime of which you stand convicted. --Under the humane provisions of our law, there is but one offence the commission of which subjects tile guilty party to a forfeiture of life. In the brief and simple, but expressive and solemn language of the statute, it is enacted that "whoever is guilty of murder in the first degree shall suffer the punishment of death." Of tills high and heinous offence--the taking of human life "with deliberately premeditated malice aforethought, a jury carefully selected by yourself, and after has found you guilty patient and impartial trial, in which the counsel assigned by the Court to conduct your defense, have with great zeal and earnestness exerted their professional skill and ability in your behalf. To this verdict and to the sufficiency of the indictment, we have been able to find no valid objection by reason of any error in law; nor upon a deliberate and careful review of the evidence adduced at the time, can we see any aspect of the case by which a fair, conscientious and honest jury could have arrived at a different result. In the justice of your conviction, the Court are constrained to express their full and entire concurrence. The verdict was the necessary and inevitable conclusion resulting from the evidence of your guilt, as disclosed at the time. There are no circumstances to mitigate the atrocity of your crime. It stands without palliation. A man of mature years--after an experience in life which ought to have had the effect of moderating your passions and chastening your spirit--you permitted yourself to entertain an illicit passion for a young and inexperienced female, upon whom you practiced the vile arts of tile seducer. Having accomplished the gratification of your lust, you next sought to remove all evidence of your guilt, and at the same time, to avoid making that reparation to the injured woman, which you had promised, and which could alone atone for the great wrong you had done her. In the execution of this purpose you resolve to take her life. With a resolute and premeditated atrocity, you resorted to means which left to your victim no power of self-defense, and which insured the speedy and certain accomplishment of your wicked design.-- Under such circumstances, you cannot expect or ask for sympathy or clemency.-- The stern demands of the law can alone be regarded. What a lesson is taught by your example! How clearly does the history of your offence show that lust and evil passion, when once indulged, lead their victim by straight and certain paths, to swift destruction, and that artifice and cunning and deceit are of no avail to screen the guilty, or to enable them to elude the keen eye of justice. To others the lesson thus taught may be profitable. To you the contemplation of the enormity of your guilt, although it cannot save you from the penalty of your crime, may nevertheless serve as a means to arouse your conscience, and to enable you to seek for repentance and forgiveness in that divine source which is now your only refuge. We earnestly exhort you to lose no time in humbling yourself before God, and by sincere contrition and heartfelt prayer for pardon, to prepare yourself to meet the great and final change, which awaits you in the execution of the solemn sentence, which, as ministers of the law, it is now our duty to pronounce upon you. -- That sentence is-- That you be taken from this place to the common jail of the County of Norfolk, there to remain, until, on such day as shall be fixed by the executive government of the Commonwealth, you be thence removed to the place of execution, there to be hung by the neck until you are dead. And may God have mercy on your soul. During the remarks of the Chief Justice, the prisoner stood with his eyes fixed upon the Judge's desk, manifesting throughout the whole trying scene the utmost self-possession. At the conclusion of the remarks of the Chief Justice, the prisoner was remanded to jail. Since his first confinement more than a year since, Hersey has maintained a wonderful degree of equanimity, nothing in his demeanor indicating him as a man charged with the commission of a most heinous crime, and of whose guilt there can be little doubt. He has been very quiet and orderly; never committing any infraction of the rules of the Institution, and from the first has persisted in declaring his innocence of the charge of homicide. The regular business of the term was resumed. | |||

All those things were public services which would have increased the state (which is popular for conservatives to not do anyway), granted he got rid of them, but wasn't that because the state of the government's budget was the priority and they were not popular anyway (plus this was at the beginning of their government)? But this is different as it involves the Americans and that's probably enough since this government has always towed the line with regard to US interests.
Also our justice system didn't have a problem with O'Dwyer. I'm confused.
"If a lot of dogs are on the beach, the first thing they do is smell each other's ass. The information that's gotten somehow makes pacifists out of all of them. I've thought, 'If only we smelled each other's asses, there wouldn't be any war."
It was said by Dustin Hoffman and it appeals to me by the way of its simplicity (but funny nature) and because it is something so obvious but not something I think about.
Over the weekend I watched the Fritz Lang classic, Metropolis, I've wanted to see it for years but never took the actual time or money to get it. Anyway, a newspaper in the UK offered it for free with every purchase. Bargain I thought.
Personally I cannot believe what was accomplished in this film compared to some of the stuff we have today. The acting by Brigette Helm is really amazing to watch and its a pity she didn't carry her career on any further after 1935. She died in 1996 and after her last film she quit the industry and never spoke about it to anyone ever again. From a historians POV it would of been amazing to gain insight into her life back then and of course from the film itself. She played the famous metallic entity as well as her human form character and others.
Aside from the acting, the exaggerated pace of the movie kinda distracts but its something to do with the old film stock back in the day. Everything looks fast, people run, talk and fight with great speed. Some of the close up shots are amazing and in some parts you just don't believe it was filmed nearly 80 years ago.
How much is $2 million in todays money? It was made in 1927. I'd love to know taking into account inflation.
I also have a new name for my boss at work. Grot. From the film Metropolis, the downside to naming him this is nobody else knows what I'm fucking referring to. Maybe I shouldn't explain it?

If you want to extract rar files in Linux, then you need to install unrar using you package manager. You first need to go to easyurpmi and setup the plf repos for Mandriva 2008 and then do
Code:#urpmi unrar

Hello, I'm also totally new to linux and have just installed Mandriva 2008. I tried to follow what you have adviced. I have visited the easyurpmi link, clicked "add plf files" (I guess this is what you meant by "setup plf repos"). Installing was succesfull.
Then I opened the console and wrote in exactly : #urpmi unrar (why so? Is it a command that installs unrar?) It didn't confirm anything when I hit enter.
I got back to the RAR-file I wanted to open, clicked on "open with Ark" and then I got the message: The utility unrar is not in your PATH. Please install it or contact your system administrator.
That means that I haven't succeded in installing unrar, right? Where and what I have done wrong?
I tried also clicking for: "open with", but I couldn't find unrar there.
Would be really grateful for help.

I tried another thing, but it didn't work either. I cannot seem to do anything on linux and I just panic... I found that unrarlib040.zip file was in my temp directory -
(I don't get it why, but each time I want to download something like mp3 or whatever, if I choose to download it normally, I just get a file with 0 kb.. I have to do it another way, I click on "open" (instead of "download"), and THEN I see that the file is downloading, so I can move it directly afterwards from temp to any other directory)
so I tried to follow the steps mentioned in the first post here (how to install sofware in linux), that is - I tried to install it through console commands. But it's written there that it is best to have the file you want to unzip (in this case this unrarlib040) in usr/local/src. I have this directory, but.. I cannot move this zip file there. I click on "cut", and then come in to /usr/local/src and click "paste URL", but I get the message: Access denied. Could not write to usr/local/src/unrarlib040.zip
This is almost like moment 22:
I cannot save any new files to any directory, it has to be made through "open file" and then through moving manually the temp file (which is the whole file) to the directory I want it to be. But this doesn't work with usr/local/src. On the other hand I don't know how to write in the path to temp directory, I have it on another partition. The command "cd usr/local/src/ works very well, but I tried the same with writing the path to temp, both with writing "hde6" in the beginning, and without, but I get the message: "file or cataloge doesn't exist".
Sorry to bother you, but at the moment I'm totally frustrated, I just want to unrar one file, and get back to studying to the exam, I don't have time right now to learn ALL the basic things in linux.. but it seems that I cannot do ANYTHING on linux, cannot download (just open-temp-move), cannot change the directory to temp using the command cd, cannot move the zip file to usr/local/src ...
I'm TRYING to understand and think something out, but I just feel a wall, it seems like I'm banging my head towards it Please help...

Everything has some sort of learning curve and if you do not have time to master the basics, then you will have problems using Linux and you probably will be continually frustrated.
One thing you can try is to click on this link and when prompted to install the package, accept, enter roots password and unrar will hopefully be installed.

First I want to say THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH, daark.child!!!!
I'm really grateful for this, it is the first thing that actually WORKED!
Yes, you are absolutely right. And I sensed that you're probably gonna write something like this.. I felt that maybe writing about this "time" wasn't really appropriate here. But as I said - I don't refer to not having time at all (or not willing to spend some time), but simply - not having time now, during this two weeks I have left to the exam at the university. I'm planning to sit down a bit with basics of linux.
But then it is true that I feel not just a bit lost.. I don't know where to start. These tutorials should be a fantastic thing for a total beginner like me. But you saw what happened when I tried to follow some BASIC steps.. I don't even know what I wrote wrong. So I guess I need some kind of a "linux for dummies". :/
But I haven't asked the question because I was to lazy to look for the answer myself.. As I wrote before - I tested different ways, I spent also 2-3 hours before just trying to find some answer on some forum/site before I posted my post here. I ran out of ideas what I could do. And I haven't even asked "do it for me", I wanted to know in the first place what it was I'm doing wrong (of all of the things I described).
But this link was amazing, I don't know how you found it, but it works!

Hey Joko, welcome to the forums. Glad you got the problem solved. Just as a curiosity for myself, when you typed the above command did you leave the # hash sign in it?
It's an old convention to leave a # or $ sign to signify root user or normal user. Personally I don't like or use this convention as the hash symbol is also a comment, which renders the command useless That may have had something to do with it just returning without any information in this case.
