Most of us only go to the doctor when something hurts... so then, doctor will do what conventional medicine protocols say, which usually is to order you to take prescription medication, which stops the symptoms right there on the spot. Is this great? Or is it not that great...
Think about it... if your body develops a condition, it usually doesn't happen overnight. I can even dare to say it NEVER happens overnight, there is always a pre-disposition. But why don't they study these pre-dispositions first, what has been causing them for all the accumulated years to then manifest in a painful way? Usually, it will have to do with our genetic-hereditary traits and in a major way also our lifestyles. Things should be treated early, based on family history and your pre-dispositions and everyone should have healthy habits, such as eating healthy, exercise, but in most cultures, that isn't the case. Conventional medicine isn't really doing much to advance in this route, because everyone would be healthy and then they would go out of business.
You have a pain? I will send you these painkillers, will take your pain away and you will feel better.
Next thing you know, you are taking painkillers sufficient to put down an elephant... what about the side effects? All of those chemically engineered medicines are simple invaders in our bodies, our very own immune system will create defense to just about anything that is alien to our natural cells.
Taking a painkiller to stop the pain... this can be compared to when your house is on fire and you simply take the batteries out of your alarm so it doesn't go off. If you have a pain and you take painkillers that is exactly what you are doing. Your body is on fire, telling you something is wrong and you simply decide to ignore it.
In most cases, regular headaches could be simply an accumulation of certain substances and/or the lack of certain nutrients in your body. This could be corrected through cleansing / detoxifying your gastro-intestinal tract and digestive system and a rigorous healthy diet.
Transfer factors, are one of the most significant discoveries in the last century in the wellness industry, and for certain, the most important discovery in what preventive medicine is concerned as many doctors have appointed.
Transfer factors are molecules that exist since the very existence of mammals. We transfer them from a mother to a child through milk. These are molecules that store the information that will be absorbed by our immune system to help us boost your immunity levels to be able to grow stronger within our environment. Have you heard of stories where a child is born weak in mother nature? Chances are, it did not receive mother's first milk which contains colostrum.
Transfer factor molecules are extracted from colostrum since the transfer factor itself are the ones that carry the vital information that will be absorbed by the immune system. Taking transfer factors, are like giving to your immune system an entire encyclopedia along with training on how to combat virus, infections, diseases, illnesses and maintain your immunity levels at its peak, while maintaining a healthy balance.
Instead of sending you all the chemical technologies to simulate certain substances that your body needs, such as the natural insulin produced by the pancreas, one should be ordered to keep a diet to promote the very pancreas to regain its strength and stimulate it to produce natural insulin again, aided with the support of glucoach oriented products such as targeted transfer factor glucoach. Diabetes is an auto-immune disorder in which is the very immune system that starts eating the substances that suppress the sugars in the foods, and eventually makes the pancreas stop functioning properly. Well, this product is directed to the immune system specifically to those molecules that are destroying good cells and helps them absorb and store information to be able to recognize what is good again.
Same as the transfer factor glucoach, there are many other targeted transfer factors that are specific for each system in our body.

Each year Sculpture by the Sea is so grateful to receive the help from a number of volunteers, who assist us in the organisation and execution of this large-scale event. Volunteers continue to provide invaluable support to Sculpture by the Sea staff and the general public. We aim to provide our volunteers with a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, to experience the excitement of the exhibition first hand and to gain an insight into the production and management of a major arts event. Sculpture by the Sea is a not for profit organisation and we would not be able to run the exhibition to the high standard we reach with out the help of our dedicated volunteers. We are currently looking for volunteers to assist us with Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe. You can read more about this opportunity on our working with us page and download an application form here.

We have often heard people use the phrase "I am blessed," which is true simply because we are blessed. We are blessed indeed, simply by having the privilege of living in such a great nation; one that affords us freedom of worship and witness without fear of persecution. And, too, we are blessed living in a land of opportunities and prosperity. But the term "bless/blessed" is rooted deeper than in geography and materialism. By no means is it wrong for the term "bless/blessed" to be used. It is a Christian word; it is a spiritual word; and it is a biblical word. However, the word "bless/blessed" has been hijacked by our culture. It is too often, however, used loosely while in many instances misunderstood. When we say we are "blessed," we need to understand the usage of the term in how we are implying it; so that there will be no misrepresentation of the term.
The term "bless" is defined biblically in various ways, depending on how the term is used in its content. The various meanings of the term are: "To praise, to celebrate with praises"–of that which is addressed to God; "To consecrate a thing with solemn prayers"–that of which to ask God's blessing; and "Happy or blissful"–that which Jesus used on the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1-11). But there is also another meaning of the term "bless/blessed," which means "a self-contained happiness" by which many associates the term; thereby using it more frequent in the geography and materialism concept than realized. For example, the Greeks thought that Cypress had everything one needed to be happy. Because of its geographical location, perfect climate, and fertile soil they believed that anyone who lived on Cypress had it made in the shade. Therefore, they associated the term in "a self-contained happiness," calling the Island of Cypress "the happy isle." We, American Christians, too often associate the term "bless" in the same matter, even though not realizing it.
Not only do we associate the term "bless/blessed" with our geographic location, but also materialism. Please do not get me wrong. We are truly blessed of God! I fully agree that we live in a land, not only of opportunities, but also a land of prosperity. And, YES! We should be grateful for such a blessing. But we must keep in mind that too often we associate being blessed based on the materialism we possess. The world views success (blessing) by what one owns; such as the size of house one lives in and/or type of vehicle one drives, etc. We must understand, however, we are blessed no matter what size of house, apartment, or condo we live in or what kind of car we drive. Whatever one may possess only by the grace of God we have what we have. What about third world countries, can not they be blessed? What about the person that cannot afford even a car of any sort, are they not blessed? I think, or hope, you get the picture I am presenting. Being "blessed" is not based on the geographic or materialistic aspects of life, but that of God alone. Only by the grace (blessing) of God we live where we dwell and have what we possess!!!
We must not use the term "bless/blessed" as it has been used so loosely by the hijackers. We must understand what it really means to be blessed by the implications of the term that Jesus used in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1-11). We are truly "blessed" when we are poor in spirit; mourners; hunger and thirst for righteousness; merciful; pure in heart; peacemakers; persecuted for righteousness' sake; and when people revile, persecute, and say all manner of evil against us falsely for His sake. YES! All Christians, no matter the geography or materialism, can be blessed and are blessed when we practice the Christian principles found in the Sermon on the Mount by our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ!
I pray that the article has been a "blessing" to you and will help you along your journey with Jesus!

Finding the Root Cause of Process Upsets
Today's process plant is a complicated place. Multiple raw materials combine with multiple energy streams to produce primary and secondary products. Process variability comes from the raw materials, operating practices, weather, process upsets, maintenance issues and hundreds of other sources. Finding the root cause of a process upset is critically important to permanently solving process upsets. Trying to tune all the affected control loops is simply chasing after symptoms, rather than getting to the heart of the issue. Download this paper to learn how to pinpoint the root cause of problems in process plants.

Things to do in San José del Cabo
Time your art tour for a Thursday. Every week from November to June, the Art District holds an Art Walk on Thursday evenings. It's basically an open house for the neighborhood's galleries, shops and eateries, and it's not to be missed.
Meet the fish. The waters off of Los Cabos contain more than 800 species of fish, and you can take advantage of this underwater treasure by chartering a boat for sport fishing or by joining a snorkeling tour.
Aquatic thrills. If you're looking for things to do in San José del Cabo to boost your adrenaline during daylight hours, try watersports such as jet skiing, waterskiing and parasailing.
Shop. One of the best things to do in San José is shopping. You can browse the area's boutiques for tiles, pottery and jewelry that come from all over Mexico.
Do nightlife right. It should be no surprise that options for things to do in Los Cabos multiply once the sun sets. To try something besides the same old cerveza, visit the Baja Brewing Company, a local craft brewing operation with locations in both San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.
Head inland. To escape the beach for a little while, take a 4x4 trip to the cactus-filled desert outside of Los Cabos.

Is your spouse/partner overweight? If the answer is yes or no does it effect your weight loss?
100 lb. Club - Is your spouse/partner overweight?View Full Version : Is your spouse/partner overweight? Charbar 04-06-2007, 10:22 PM Is your spouse/partner overweight? If the answer is yes or no does it effect your weight loss? JayEll 04-06-2007, 10:29 PM The answer is no--always normal weight. It's a problem because I gain weight on the food my SO can eat with no gain. So we now eat different foods. Jay midwife 04-06-2007, 10:44 PM He has always been very fit and athletic. He has always been able to leave food on his plate when he is full. He has also never, not once, given me grief about my weight or fitness. He has recently expressed an interest in eating healthier, so that makes it easy for me, too. SexyRevealed 04-06-2007, 10:47 PM Mine is overweight and is making no effort to change, even though I've been cooking healthier. I hope he'll join me one day. Rock Chalk Chick 04-06-2007, 10:51 PM Yes - my fiance is significantly overweight (~320 at 5'10") and has been since he was a kid. He says he wants to lose weight but hasn't made any real effort to do so yet. It doesn't help matters that he started working third shift a few months ago, we're 350 miles apart and working opposite hours and days, and his roommates are pizza-and-beer types. He says things will be easier when we're together, that we'll be able to cook healthy meals together and spend our "us" time doing fun active stuff instead of recovering from a long drive. I think that's definitely true, but it still comes down to each of us making our own choices (i.e. I can't do it for him). One of my biggest motivators in getting active and healthy in a way I can maintain is so that I can keep up with my kids and raise them to be active and healthy too. I look forward to setting up a healthy lifestyle for the two of us, that we can just add to when we have children. jennylou 04-06-2007, 10:55 PM Yes, he's overweight. He eats healthier if I buy it and cook it, though he will still eat out at McDonald's or Burger King if I do not make something for him to eat. Oh, and he has to like it. I don't let him keep crap in the house. We live very near to a convenient store and if he wants something, he can go get enough for him to eat - he's not allowed to stock pile it in the house. He can also keep it in his truck and at work. BBGrrl 04-06-2007, 11:02 PM My partner is 330 to my 220. We are both working on looseing weight but we both keep putting up silly blocks that cause us to fail. I am hoping that joining here gives us both more motivation to get that start we need. wip 04-06-2007, 11:04 PM Yes, he's about 40 lbs overweight. Just found out this winter that he has high BP and cholesterol. He has a manual labour job April - Oct at a golf course so he eats a lot and is pretty muscular generally. He hurt his knee and last year was less active. he didn't drop his "winter weight" and has kind of carried on at the same weight. He does try to cook healthier by his definition. Portion control is a problem for us both. Charbar 04-06-2007, 11:05 PM I started this thread because I'm frustrated that my dh is going down a path this is not good. I know I can't force him... even if I suggest it he runs the other direction. He is 5'4" and is 270 lbs. He has high bp. I don't even want to think of how many calories he eats... about as many as I used to. He drinks about 4-6 cans of regular soda a day. He is frustrated, tired, angry and did I mention tired. He is where I was.... sigh. mandalinn82 04-06-2007, 11:26 PM I guess I am the *one* poll response that we are losing weight together. Between the two of us, my partner and I (see picture) have lost 185 lbs collectively. Kashi 04-06-2007, 11:34 PM ^^That's great! Yes, my boyfriend is overweight. He really likes food, but he's not 'addicted' in the same way that I am. That is, he can buy a chocolate bar, eat a piece, and then put the rest away for later. Weeks later! I too often use him as my excuse to overindulge, because he makes me feel good, and makes me feel like my weight doesn't define me or isn't important. While that's nice, I'm trying not to use it as an excuse anymore. He doesn't really eat healthy, although he's a trained chef and when he cooks for us, he will make a healthy meal. I only get to see him about once a week because he lives across the city from me (and he works, and I'm a student). I mentioned the idea of going to the gym with him one time, and he seemed interested, but I think he's too intimidated to go alone, and we can't find time in our schedules to go together. I care about him a lot, but I don't know how, or if, I should bring anything up to him. kaplods 04-06-2007, 11:42 PM My husband is also morbidly obese. He fell on the ice and tore his rotator cuff last February and accelerated damage to his spine that was already present (he inherited a degenerative bone and joint problem, which his weight and the injury aggravated). He also has severe diabetic neuropathy (nerve pain). Before we met, he had never dieted. And his two previous attempts with me didn't go very well. We recently started reducing carbs together (he is a major snack carb junkie whether it be nuts or chips), and he is much more content to eat this way. We've agree that changes have to be ones we maintain, so if he or I are craving something to badly we talk about it, and decide if it is worth making an "exception" for. This often includes getting on the scale to check how we're doing, as our agreement has been that our minimum standard of success is 1 pound per week. So after we weigh in we decide whether indulging in our craving could jeopardize our success for the week. So far, it hasn't. He's losing more slowly than I am, but he's still lost on average 2 lbs per week, so I'm happy. When we were on WW, he lost much more quickly than I did, but he was very unhappy and grumpy about it, so this is a vast improvement. It may take us 2 - 5 years to reach ideal weights, but if we can maintain this lifestyle, we'll do great. While each of us is responsibile for our own eating, it is a lot easier to stay on program, when we're both in it together. nelie 04-07-2007, 12:01 AM My husband is skinny and has always been that way. Apparently, after college he gained a few pounds (10? 15? not sure) but realized it and lost them fairly quickly. When we started living together, he gained 5 lbs and amazingly he noticed it immediately. So I switched around the way we were eating and incorporated exercise into our lives. He has since lost 15-20 lbs (which puts him in the 130s, yikes!). He tries to fit in exercise and he eats what I eat although he snacks a bit more and has a bit more leeway in what he eats. I'm glad he likes to be active though because it does help and I like that he likes to eat healthy and doesn't mind his portions getting cut down. ScarlettDrawl 04-07-2007, 12:33 AM My DH is 6'1" and weighs 207, so he could stand to lose a few probably. But his issue is more with toning. However, he has always been great about eating what I eat and working out when I work out (I got to a women's only gym so we can't technically do it together). So I voted for Yes, we are losing together. Nori71 04-07-2007, 12:33 AM My husband is "overweight" at 215 and 6' - but he's HOT to me!!:D He enjoys good, healthy food. Just a little too much of it! He tries to eat healthy and is trying to lose some weight - plus he is very supportive of me. He works out regularly doing cardio and weightlifting and has for the 10 years I've known him...but has gained some weight in spite of that. When we met he was 195 to my 220. Before I met him he had been over 300 pounds. So he understands what it's like to be obese and the struggle it is to lose weight and maintain the loss over a long period of time. BTW - He has DM type 2 and has been able to control it through diet/exercise ever since he was diagnosed 6 years ago. His glucose is always normal (except for when he's really sick) and his hemoglobin A1C is that of a non-diabetic, so he's doing something right. I know the disease will show it's side effects someday, but I'm pretty dang proud of him that he's conscious of his health and able to control the disease without drugs for now. lilybelle 04-07-2007, 01:03 AM My DH has always been of "normal" weight. He never complains about my low-cal cooking, but when he's away from home he eats whatever he wants. I don't mind since this weight struggle is mine, not his. But, I don't like it when he brings me a huge cinnamon roll (like today) and I have to say "you know I won't eat that" and he eats it in front of me. rockinrobin 04-07-2007, 07:50 AM My DH is overweight. Not to the extent that I was. In the beginning of my journey he dropped about 30 lbs. He is now eating again whatever he likes. He brings home all kinds of junk now. It gets me crazy. I don't want him eating it or my children. How I wish I could control his eating, but I can't. It's up to him, not me. I don't let what he eats affect me. I can't control what he eats, but I CAN control what I eat. It is up to me to take responsibility for my health, 100% so in fact. I can't let what he or anyone else does get in my way. I really hope one day he gets it together. I want him to be around with me for as long as possible. sirak 04-07-2007, 10:42 AM My guy is just getting fatter and fatter. He doesn't seem to care. I am slowly cutting back, changing menus and adding in sugar free stuff. He does ok, but has lost some points on remarks about the cooking. I made chicken fried steak one night ( from scratch) and he said " have you figured out how to make this from Ground turkey yet? ". It was the last package of cube steak I had in the freezer. The truth is I can cook ground turkey, fish, grilled chicken and every low cal veggie dish known to man- but if he eats junk food every day for lunch nothing is going to change. He could exercise 30 minutes every night and it would be nothing but benfical. He joined a gym one year and spent the entire time in the pool or in the sauna. It wasn't about exercise- but relaxation. I can't control what he eats, but I CAN control what I eat. It is up to me to take responsibility for my health, 100% so in fact. I can't let what he or anyone else does get in my way. It's the only way we can do this. Hopefully in the long run what I am changing will help his heath in some form. Slashnl 04-07-2007, 10:52 AM My husband has always been at a good weight. He's athletic and has always been that way. He owns his own company, but it is a business that has a lot of physical labor involved. He can put on weight through the winter, but it always seems to come back off. He drinks a lot of soda and whole milk, and is a meat and potatoes kind of guy. He likes dessert every night. (kind of drives me nuts) He feels that if you put on a few pounds, "all you have to do is burn more calories than you take in". Genius. Although he is right, he has trouble understanding my problems. My desk job isn't helpful at burning calories. But I'm working on it!!!! jtammy 04-07-2007, 10:58 AM My Dh was slightly overweight when I started - 225 lbs at 5'10". Since then, he has lost down to about 185, which is close to a healthy body weight for him. He has mostly lost the weight by eating what I eat for dinner and not eating sweet snacky things at night, since we no longer keep a lot of that kind of thing in the house. While he's at work and when we go out to eat, he eats whatever he wants. Between the two of us we have lost 184 lbs! Heather 04-07-2007, 11:49 AM He brings home all kinds of junk now. It gets me crazy. I don't want him eating it or my children. Robin -- I don't blame you for not wanting him to eat your children!!!!! :lol3: SexyRevealed 04-07-2007, 12:03 PM Robin -- I don't blame you for not wanting him to eat your children!!!!! :lol3: Wyllenn, that just made my day! :rofl: LakeGirl 04-07-2007, 12:11 PM My husband is morbidly obese...I'm say somewhere in the vicinity of where the amazing Charles or Howie were when they started their journey. He was big when we married but has probably doubled in size since living in the states (he is from England). He has made no real effort yet to change anything, though he does like the healthier dinners I've been cooking. His biggest problem is that he just doesn't move, but unless you really possess the desire to lose weight, I can't imagine WANTING to move at that weight because it probably isn't comfortable for him. I know I can't do it for him; he has to make the effort himself. I don't let it deter me, though I never tell him how much weight I have lost thus far because I'm afraid it would be a "rubbing it in" kind of thing. He has told me he is proud of me and that he can see the difference. I just keep praying that as I lose more, he'll get on board. Neko 04-07-2007, 12:29 PM lol @ Wyllenn :D My husband is tall and skinny. Appears my son is going to be that way too. He's 7 and can out eat me. Sheila53 04-07-2007, 01:08 PM I answered yes, but we're losing together. Only because he eats what I cook, and he's taken off about 30 lbs. just doing that. He supplements with stuff he wants to eat, but doesn't bring stuff in the house that he knows are problems for me. If he wants pizza, he waits until I'm out of town, or he'll do the grocery shopping and get a cookie to eat in the car. His doctor has said if he loses 10 more pounds or so, he should be off his blood pressure medication so he's working slowly toward that goal. jennylou 04-07-2007, 01:58 PM Sheila - My husband has lost with me too - even though he's technically not on a diet. Just by me cooking more healthy foods for him, has helped him lose weight too. becoming wisdom 04-07-2007, 05:11 PM My DH is skinny, and has been all his life. Small difference for him - as a young boy he struggled with anore*i@, and had to battle his demons without any help, before age 12 in order to reach that birthday! He believes he's just fine now, but still ties his thinness together with self-esteem. And under stress, he reverts to a cycle of coffee for 3 days, then lots of junk food every 4th day. It's been interesting to see what's inheritable in our two kids, now both teens. One isn't aware of her hunger unless you ask her to take a moment to think about it, just like her dad. The other is more like, I'm hungry! NOW! and can't get her mind back on track for anything, until food is inhaled - like her dear ol' ma (moi!). So, becoming aware of great food and exercise choices is a family affair, with each of us having a particular set of issues. We tease each other, and we support each other, although I do have to live with 3 people insisting on various kinds of junk food as groceries because they're all "skinny". DH is in his 50's, and although his blood fats are enviable, his electrolytes lately have been worrisome, and overall fitness down; he's beginning to rethink his "healthy" lifestyle. And my girls are also having unusually fluctuating energy/concentration levels, reduced healing and immunity, and telltale flab & pudginess, that point to too much junk food. So I've started to institute junk-food portion-control for them. And yes, I do tell them my health issues will be theirs someday, unless they learn proper habits. I take it one step at a time! rockinrobin 04-07-2007, 05:14 PM Wyllen, I knew you were extremely, extremely intelligent and articulate, but now funny too. You made me laugh. That really was funny. jillybean720 04-07-2007, 05:23 PM None of the answers really apply to my situation. I would say Jeff could stand to lose some weight, but I wouldn't really say he's very overweight--maybe 20 pounds? He was never stick thin or anything as long as I've known him, but I know we both put on some weight since being together. He now eats what I cook at home, but he still sometimes goes out for lunch at work and whatnot--he's not making a concentrated effort to lose weight, and I don't think he has lost any (he asked me to get him a bigger waist size pants this year if I buy him any clothes for his birthday later this month--he wore a 38 last time I bought him pants and is now asking for a 40--and he's only may'be 5'7). I've recently, though, started sort of sneaking even more healthy foods into his diet. I started making him lunches for work sometimes (which I hate doing--I hate the feeling that I'm doing all of the cooking and cleaning like a good little housewife because that's sooooo not me, but at the same time, I want him to be eating healthy foods, and when he packs his own lunch, it's an instant cup of flavored wontons and a pudding cup--when I make it, it's brown rice with black beans, chicken, fresh salsa, fresh guacamole, lettuce, and fat-free cheese). royalsfan1 04-07-2007, 06:16 PM I, too, had a hard time finding the right answer for us. My husband IS overweight, he IS losing, but mainly he is losing because due to some issues with his son, when his son is with us (and not visiting his mother) they have to stay in a hotel and he doesn't snack much in a hotel. Also, he gave up bread for Lent and that has led to a fairly profound weight reduction in the past few weeks. That has motivated him to try and keep it going. However, we don't really have a plan to lose together. He still snacks a lot when he's here. I don't hound him about it...in fact, he was very large when I fell in love with him and I am more in love with him today. THAT is how I know to the depth of me that he can also love me no matter how gross I think I look. He is showing a lot of interest in my weight loss, though. I think that it may start to rub off on him a little and his efforts will become a bit more focused. This stuff with his son has created a highly stressful situation for the both of us and I am just so proud of us both for managing ANY weight loss efforts right now! caren34 04-07-2007, 06:28 PM Yes mines over weight we are eating healthy together but he has'nt lost anything yet djs06 04-07-2007, 07:33 PM Wyellen, that made me lol ;) My girlfriend is quite underweight.. quite the opposite end of the spectrum GirlyGirlSebas 04-08-2007, 12:30 PM Hubby and I are doing this together...which means we are both on-plan and both off-plan at the same time! Doing this together can be a very very good thing or it can be a very very bad thing. Hubby does all of the cooking (I'll confess that I'm just a horrible cook!) and its truly amazing when he's on plan as he cooks with Southbeach recipes and pushes me to accompany him to the Y everyday. However, when he's off-plan he likes to get a lot of take-out as he doesnt "feel" like cooking and neither of us brings up the idea of going to the 'Y.' If I were doing this on my own, I would be on-plan or off-plan entirely on my own choice. I don't blame him for me going off-plan...It is my choice! But, doing this with hubby makes it that much easier to decide to go off plan. I've been thinking lately that I may need to leave him behind and push forward on my own. Hopefully, he will decide to come with me...but, if not, I will still be doing what I need to do for my health. sept15lija 04-08-2007, 04:28 PM My DH is overweight, he's about 225 and 5'11". He lost weight before on Atkins and was down to 185, and looked and felt amazing (of course he looks amazing now too! ;)). He gained it back and is now trying to do it the way I'm doing it, watching portions and cutting back on junk. So far, he's lost 4 lbs. How long has he been doing this? 1 week. :dizzy: :) Michelle 04-08-2007, 05:29 PM My hubby is also overweight, 5' 10" and 245 pounds. He works two jobs right now and so he is on the go and busy a lot of the time and has no energy to work out. I told him if he would just cut his portions down some, and cut out the late night ice cream and buttered popcorn, he probably would lose some weight without the exercising part. I still haven't seen anything change though, so I have to leave it up to him.:( dandk0204 04-08-2007, 06:18 PM My answer is yes. He is overweight and eats whatever he feels like eating but he doesn't eat alot. But when he does eat, I think well why can't I eat it. x Yael x 04-08-2007, 06:23 PM My husband is overweight (6'1'' - 200lbs), but he'll eat whatever I make him so its quite easy for me to make healthy meals. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Liver Biopsy(Biopsy of Liver)
Daus Mahnke, MD DefinitionThis is a procedure to obtain a sample of your liver tissue. Reasons for Procedure TOPBiopsies of the liver are usually done to evaluate:
Possible Complications TOPIf you are planning to have a liver biopsy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
What to Expect TOPPrior to ProcedureYour doctor may do the following:
Before your biopsy:
AnesthesiaIf local anesthesia is used, then only the area that is being operated on is numbed. It is given as an injection and may also be given with a sedative Description of the Procedure TOPThere are different techniques used to do a liver biopsy, including:
Conventional Liver Biopsy You will lie on your back with your right hand behind your head. An ultrasound or CT scan may be used to help guide the placement of the needle. The skin will be cleaned. Next, medication will be injected to numb the area. A small incision will be made. You will need to exhale and hold your breath while the needle is inserted. Sometimes, the needle will need to be inserted several times. After the procedure, the area will be bandaged.
Laparoscopic Liver Biopsy Your doctor will make a tiny incision. A long tool with a camera on the end will be passed into your abdomen in the area of the liver. It will send images of the liver to a TV screen. Additional incisions will be made to pass other tools. These tools will be used to remove samples of the liver. Transvenous Liver Biopsy A tiny flexible tube will be threaded into a vein in your neck or groin. This tube will be threaded all the way into the veins in your liver. A biopsy needle will be passed through the tube to get a biopsy sample. Immediately After Procedure TOPYou will lie on your right side for at least two hours. How Long Will It Take? TOPAbout 15-20 minutes Will It Hurt? TOPYou will have mild pain or cramping at the biopsy site. You may also have pain in the right shoulder. The pain should last for less than 30 minutes. Postoperative Care TOPWhen you return home after the procedure, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
The biopsy results will take 1-4 weeks. You and your doctor will discuss the results. Call Your Doctor TOPAfter arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:

It was a typical Saturday for Jim Baker and his 12-yearold son, Brandon.
"Brandon came out with me . . . and we spent the day working in the garage and on his dirt bike for the upcoming season," Baker said.
Then a friend called and asked Brandon to come out, but he was grounded.
No one suspected that Brandon — a popular, athletic Gilbert Junior High School student, in a family with parents active in his life — would take his life that day: April 20, 2002.
"Parents talked to their children about drugs when I was a kid," Baker said. "And in the '80s, it was sex and STDs. This is the new talk we need to have with our kids."
Baker bravely shared his story Tuesday with about 50 other parents in the Mesquite High School auditorium in hopes the other parents could learn the warning signs of suicide. And, learn how to help others cope with the tragedy.
"The fact of the matter is, unless you've held your son or daughter in your arms and tried to breathe life back into them, the whole time praying for a miracle that you know won't come, then you don't know how I feel, or felt," Baker said.
It was the first parent education meeting sponsored by the Gilbert Junior High School Teen Suicide Prevention and Substance Abuse Education club, formed by Kaelin Gilman, 13, a friend of Brandon's. Kaelin's club has established suicide prevention and response classes for teachers and students throughout the district, which administrators hope to expand next year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta calls suicide the third leading cause of death among ages 15 to 25.
Patricia Kempker, manager of the EMPACT Suicide Prevention Center in Tempe counseled and gave parents advice. All parents should talk to their children about suicide, and keep in mind the acronym FACT, she said.
Feelings: Is your child having negative thoughts he can't share with anyone? Access: Does the child have access to a means to commit suicide such as pills or guns? Changes: Are there dramatic changes in the child's behavior? Threats: Does the child make threats of suicide, which should be treated seriously and help should be sought?
Shirelle Jowell, a Gilbert teacher's aide and parent, wiped a tear away as she left the meeting, memories returning of a time she considered suicide at age 15.
"It's important for kids to feel they can trust someone and talk to them," she said. "You don't think about it as being final. You think it's just a quick solution to a problem."

Soil temperature and air temperature are very important for your planting decision. Here are guidelines from the Alabama Cooperative Extension… http://www.aces.edu/pubs/docs/A/ANR-1061/ANR-1061.pdf
The general relationship between days until seedling emergence and percent germination is inverse. What this means is that considering the optimal temperature for planting seeds, you will want to tend to plant too early instead of too late: the seeds will germinate best when the temperature is ideal, and trusting them to the ground when you have few birds or other creatures who will dig up the seeds is intelligent. Planting extra as precaution against this predation is also advisable.
We offer affordable seed packets, sometimes for as low as $0.20 each. And they have more seeds than those you'd get at the store!

How to Repair a Bad Power Plug
It's such a common occurrence that you've probably experienced it firsthand. The power adapter plug that goes into your notebook computer starts to become flaky. You have to wiggle the cord, twist it into a certain position or put some tension on the cord by folding it under the computer in order to get it to work. Power adapters can cost hundreds of dollars to replace, but they can often be repaired for free if you already have the necessary materials.
The same thing can happen to the plug on any kind of power adapter, but it happens most frequently with notebook computer power supplies, especially ones with coaxial cords. This is because people carry notebook computers and their power adapters with them all the time, and the constant wrapping and unwrapping of the cord, combined with the manipulation of the plug, can cause it to fail. It's not the plug that goes bad on a power adapter, but the cord itself, or more specifically, the connections between the cord and the plug fail. This happens often to headphones, too, but these are usually impossible to fix because of the kind of wire used; fortunately they're inexpensive to replace.
The photo above shows a typical coaxial power plug. At the factory, the wires coming from the cord are soldered and/or crimped to contacts on the metal portion of the plug, and then a vinyl jacket is molded around the assembly to provide strength and to form a grip. Too much flexing of the cord causes the connections between the plug and cord to fail inside the molded jacket.
If you have a power adapter that works intermittently, especially when you wiggle the plug, it's more than likely that the wires have disconnected from the plug itself or that they're shorting out (touching each other). Either way, the repair is the same. And by the way, you should stop wiggling the plug and either fix it or replace the power adapter because wiggling the plug can damage the socket in your notebook computer, and repairing that is a complicated and risky process.
It's always best if you can confirm where the problem is before beginning a repair. If you have a volt meter, it's a simple matter to check the output voltage of the plug and see if it fluctuates as you wiggle the cord. If the voltage doesn't fluctuate, the socket in your notebook computer could be damaged and, again, repairing that is complicated and risky.
Sometimes the cord can fail right where it exits the power brick. If wiggling the cord there causes problems, there's no need to repair the plug. But your only option might be to replace the power adapter because you would have to open up the adapter to make this repair, and they're not designed to be opened or serviced in any way. If you're ambitious enough, you might be able to cut open the power adapter, cut off the bad part of the cord and solder it back into place. Even though you could do more harm than good, if the power adapter isn't working, you've got nothing to lose.
If you've determined that the problem is with the plug, you have to either replace the plug or repair the electrical connections to it. If you can find an exact replacement for the plug, say at Radio Shack™, you might be better off simply clipping the old one and soldering on a new one. Just be sure to connect positive and negative correctly. Positive is usually the inner sleeve and negative is the outer part of the plug. Before you do anything, though, make sure the power adapter is not plugged into an AC outlet.
To repair the old plug, you have to start by cutting off the jacket surrounding the contact points, as shown above. You can simply slice the jacket down its side with a razor blade and peel it off or cut the plug off and wiggle the metal part out of the vinyl jacket. Either way, what's important is that you not damage the metal part of the plug, which will be reused. What's even more important is that you don't cut yourself when using a razor. Be careful! You've been warned.
Now you can cut the excess wire off the plug and cut the messy end off the cord. The plug used in these photos had the inner wire crimped into place—the bare wire is slipped inside the inner sleeve, which is then crimped (crushed) to hold the wire in place. To get the wire out, it's best to "un-crimp" the sleeve by squeezing it back into a circle with needle-nose pliers. Just don't damage the sleeve. If the center wire is soldered in place you have to heat it up with a soldering iron and pull it out once the old solder is melted. Be careful what you touch when using a soldering iron. Things get hot. Don't burn yourself. Use pliers or tweezers when needed. The outer negative connection is always soldered and you can simply heat up the solder and pull off the wire, or use solder wick, which keeps things neater.
Solder wick is flat braided copper used to remove solder. You simply place it over the old solder and press down on it with a hot soldering iron. The wick will soak up the solder when it melts. Then you cut off the used portion of the wick and throw it away. Solder wick, along with solder, soldering irons and other tools you might need may be purchased at Radio Shack™, hardware stores, and other places that carry electronic parts and repair items.
When you're finished removing the old solder and wire from the plug it should look something like what you see above.
It's time to prepare the ends of the cord, as shown above. Cut the center wire down to roughly 1/2 inch and strip off about 1/8 inch of the insulator. Twist the outer wire together as shown and cut its length down to about one inch. The length of the wires is critical. The center wire should fit into the plug's center sleeve and the outer wire should reach the outer part of the plug where the old length of wire was soldered to it.
Next, slip the bare end of the center wire into the inner sleeve and crimp the sleeve to hold it in place. You can use the wire-cutting jaws of needle-nose pliers to do the crimping, but don't squeeze so hard that you cut right through it. You can solder the center wire instead, but don't let it get too hot, as the plastic parts of the plug can melt, rendering it useless. Now slip a short length of heat-shrink tubing over the exposed outer wire and shrink it in place with a lighter, leaving at least 1/8 inch of the wire bare. This will prevent the outer wire from touching the inner conductor. You can use electrical tape instead of heat-shrink tubing, but the tubing is much more efficient. It doesn't take much heat to shrink the tubing; try not to burn it.
Now it's time to solder the outer wire to the outer part of the plug, as shown above. You might need three hands, a small vise or clamp to do this. Work neatly and don't use too much solder, which could create a short between the inner and outer parts of the plug.
All that's left to do is to slip a larger piece of heat-shrink tubing over the plug and its contacts and shrink it in place as shown above. The tubing should cover part of the insulation on the cord and the soldered connection on the outer part of the plug.
The tubing stiffens as it shrinks, providing some strength to the assembly. Even so, it's a good idea to shrink another layer or two of tubing over the assembly as shown above to provide even greater strength to the repair. If you have a volt meter, you can use it to verify that the power adapter is now working properly. It should plug right into your computer and work like new.

Thanks for this excellent step-by-step guide with lots of nice photos. I wish I had seen this a couple of years ago when my Samsung NC10 laptop started to have intermittent connection issues. I could always get it to reconnect by wiggling the power plug (I now know I shouldn't have done that). Unfortunately, what that ended up doing was weakening the soldered connections of the DC power jack and eventually breaking off one of the legs of the jack. I bought a new jack and, in an effort to take pressure off the jack's connection to the motherboard, soldered a wire to the MoBo, knotted the wire inside the case, brought the wire out through the plug hole, and soldered the new jack to the wire. Since I still had intermittent power after than, I decided the problem had to be with the plug itself. I made a vertical cut through the strain relief jacket and noticed that the inner wire that was soldered to the back of the plug was severed. (The inner wire connects to the center pin of the jack, which is not one you can find at Radio Shack.) So I took a short section of copper telephone wire, shoved it down the center of the inner wire, and soldered it to the hunk of solder on the back end of the plug. I used electrical tape to close up the strain relief jacket, but I really like the suggestion of heat-shrink tubing. I now have constant power! So it wasn't a bad jack to begin with. The jack failed after all the wiggling I had done. If I had checked with a voltmeter in the beginning, I could have saved myself all the aggravation of replacing the jack.
THANK YOU so very very much !! I had been told earlier that I would have to bust open the power box and re-solder the wires back together inside the power box. Needless to say, once I had that box pried open that didn't look feasible at all. I will definately work on these others the way you are telling me and see if I can get lucky and get them to work. Again, thanks so very much...and your instructions are so easy to understand! Wish me luck... Jess
This is very helpful for the type of plug shown with only two conductors. I've got an HP EliteBook 8460p that has a 3-conductor "Smart-pin" in the center. Stupid pin broke off. If I could find a new plug I could do this fix, but no luck so far. Where can I find a new 3-conductor "Smart-pin" plug to attach to my cord?
Would not be a satisfying experience if all electric services are handled by the experienced professionals, in a cost-effective and risk-free manner? Well, hire the Pretoria based electrician, and will let it happen for you.

Funny tattoos, misspellings, product placement, celebrity portraits
Does that tattoo say "unemployable"?
am I the only one who thinks it says "Loso Your Mind"?
That is Def. an unemployable man. What does someone like that think? Like to hear from him how dumb he was felling or is feeling now.
Not unemployable at Hot Topic.
He probably works in a shop….i hope he works in a shop lol
I swear the government should step in and control what people are allowed to get
Aren't there some states that will give disability payments to folks like this who can never find a job?
Maybe they're "EMO" and constantly wear their hair down over the forehead LMAO.. How stupid do some people have to be in this world though?
Shouldn't it read "Lost My Mind"?
The tattoo should read "Retard."
Literally thought it said "Lose Your Job" at first.
A job, a wife, privacy in public, give it all up for a stupid slogan.
Well at least he's not a hypocrit.
People that do this to themselves should not be eligible for state aid, food stamps, housing vouchers, etc…because they WILLFULLY made themselves unemployable. I mean, really…people?!?!?!
"Lose Your Mind"? He already Lost it!
Lose your mind… on meth!
Well as someone who knows this guy he does have a good job and does have a normal life… Its still a stupid ida and a lot off people he lnows hates it but he is a good guy that choose a tattoo that will effect his life later on when he wants a career insted of a job but he's not a retard just young and going to learn the hard way that its was not a good ida
he wont have a job with a suit and tie but he could still swing a hammer in fact his tattoo would make him fit right on in with the construction industry
I love the tattoo. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PLACEMENT.
unemployable…idiots like this should not qualify for any government aid. You did it to yourself dumbass. Why should I foot the bill?
It will be particularly cute when he he is bald and has nothing to cover it up with!!
"Lose your Mind"? Badtatt owner, you already have.
Wow i hope you dont plan on ever getting a job!!

Apparently he lost his mind right before getting this tattoo.
This could be avoided if tattooers would refuse to do faces! Still, crazy people's money is money so I don't see that happening.
I could stare at that $hit for 20 minutes and still not be able to read it.

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
Right now I am talking about/learning Swiss medal qualification competition, where only specific rifles are allowed K31, Sig .556, using only OEM Iron Sights (diopters for the 556 or the K31 std sights), with timed shooting at 100, 200, ad 300M. No 24" heavy barrels, etc. (although I have 2 stock K31's from the 50's, I just realized I have no idea how long the barrels are, gonna have to look that up later). I used to use my 556 (V1, M4), but was having major issues even on the lead sled with consistency, couldn't even get 1 MOA, and I was using .223 (from Cabela's though, and I think it was American Eagle brass, or maybe Federal, or aren't they the same? Can never keep track, long time ago anyway). The issue seemed to be because I was using cheap ammo that was a lower FPS (fresh). , where I am guessing the charge isn't exactly the same, but I dunno, didn't weigh them. He proved ammo matters after I was bitching about my rifle and wind(never heard that before, right), he popped in one of his PMags with LC right then in my rifle still on the sled and with HIS ammo was subMOA.... same day, same conditions, same rifle on same table. He only uses (and reloads) LC to 5.56 specs. The lesson from him that day was higher FPS=flatter trajectory and more impervious to conditions like wind (relatively speaking), and *good* ammo is more consistent... ALL of which matters at 300M . I have since switched to using a K31 with GP11 to use for Swiss, as that stuff is pretty cheap for ammo that pretty much IS match grade, good stuff! All of this is neither here nor there, I posted this deal for people who was 5.56 NATO, I think most folks who would be in this thread know that you can go buy .223 at Walmart cheaper if you want, but some folks may want LC 5.56 NATO, and right now .33c/rd is cheap, hence why I said .223!=5.56. They are apples and oranges, this thread is for people who want LC M193, although for those that don't know you can get a different ammo cheaper at Walmart then I am assuming your post helped them. And yep backorders on ammo are a gamble, but at least in my experience, Brownell's is pretty good relative to some others when it comes to filling the orders in a relatively short period of time, vs. cancelling them and 5 min later having the ammo in stock .07/rd more expensive :/. It isn't like there aren't other threads posted here on SD where you have to back order the item, at least there isn't a rebate to worry about here... And when I reload brass, I am anal too, because I like my face right where it is, thanks . I would de-prime, clean, resize, and measure (to trim if needed) all of my brass necks, whether it need its or not. 5.56 isn't the easiest to load, but it sure is easier than 5.7x28, where you do have to re-size and trim every round, every time, and talk about hard to find cheap! Although I do have some Fed 5.7x28 SS197 pre-ordered from Brownell's too . Last edited by Mike C; 11-13-2012 at 11:17 AM.. Regards,

In short, they are a great company to work with. BTW, I have abolutely no ties with them other than being a customer, ironically(to people who don't understand that guns don't kill people, other poeple do, , I work in healthcare, i.e. in a totally different field where they have no incentive whatsoever other than making a customer happy to do what they do. |
Thanks for all the answers. I just placed a back order for the ammo. I guess on the last step before you place your order it tells you that you will not be charged until the item ships.
I also placed a pre-order for the PMAG GEN M3 with Window. It also says that you will not be charged for pre-orders until the ship...just in case anyone was wondering. Also, I only got the $350 price for the ammo cause I don't meet any of the qualifications to get the discounted price. Thanks OP! |

Suzuki Violin School, Volumes 1-3 Duets - 2nd Violin Parts
Suzuki Violin School, Volumes 1-3 Duets - 2nd Violin Parts (For Suzuki Violin School Volumes 1,2 And 3). For violin II. Duet or Duo; SmartMusic; String Ensemble (Suzuki); Suzuki. Instructional and Technique. 2nd violin parts (1st violin part available separately). Introductory text. 16 pages. Published by Alfred Music (AP.0093S).

The SUZUKI METHOD of Talent Education is based on Dr. Shinichi Suzuki's view that every child is born with ability, and that man is the son of his environment. According to Dr. Suzuki, a world-renowned violinist and teacher, the greatest joy an adult can know comes from developing a child's potential so he/she can express all that is harmonious and best in human beings. Students are taught using the "mother-tongue" approach.
About Suzuki Method
The Suzuki Method is based on the principle that all children possess ability and that this ability can be developed and enhanced through a nurturing environment. All children learn to speak their own language with relative ease and if the same natural learning process is applied in teaching other skills, these can be acquired as successfully. Suzuki referred to the process as the Mother Tongue Method and to the whole system of pedagogy as Talent Education. The important elements of the Suzuki approach to instrumental teaching include the following:an early start (aged 3-4 is normal in most countries); the importance of listening to music; learning to play before learning to read; -the involvement of the parent; a nurturing and positive learning environment; a high standard of teaching by trained teachers; the importance of producing a good sound in a balanced and natural way; core repertoire, used by Suzuki students across the world; social interaction with other children. Suzuki students from all over the world can communicate through the language of music./p/div

text: As in Paulsen's many other semi-autobiographical stories for young readers (the Brian books, Guts, etc.), the author's voice is never far beneath the surface. His bitterness towards his own mother, for example (as revealed in the foreword), comes across in lines like this: "Soon, though, other people--men--came to visit her and she started to do very grown-up things. He did not fit in, and when life with his mother became too difficult, he went to live with his grandmother." Although this presence may be irritating to some readers, the details of a remembered time on a farm with wonderfully strong women should appeal to all. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

(Note: This is the third installment of a four-part series featuring the four ballparks of the Pioneer League North. The "Day at the Park" series profiled Billings' Dehler Park and Missoula's Ogren Park at Allegiance Field in recent weeks and will look at Centene Stadium in Great Falls next week. Parks are graded on facility, food, entertainment and overall atmosphere. The final installment will run in next Thursday's Billings Gazette.)
As history goes, baseball has seemingly always held a special place in Helena. One of the benchmark events of the Capital City's pastime passion was the 1932 opening of what is now Kindrick Legion Field, home of the Milwaukee Brewers' Pioneer League farm club, the Helena Brewers.
"This place has seen a lot of ballgames," said Dustin Daniel, the Brewers' director of broadcasting and media relations. "As far as the atmosphere it creates for a ballgame, this is classic baseball here. It's not going to be anything fancy that you see, but it definitely gives you a great summer vibe to come out to the ballpark."
Helena is the smallest of the four Pioneer League North cities, so that classic feel fans get at Kindrick Legion Field fits nicely with the community. It's not the biggest or fanciest, but it just feels like a ballpark.
When you walk into Kindrick Legion Field, it doesn't look like much has changed since it opened more than 80 years ago. It's a predominantly wood structure with a small grandstand.
"It's got some neat stuff going on," Daniel said. "Our seats in the box seats and reserved area were actually pulled out of the old Oakland Coliseum, so we have some chairs that used to belong to the Athletics.
"Obviously, it's not major league quality, but it gives off the same kind of vibe as Fenway or Wrigley."
Kindrick Legion, with a seating capacity just north of 2,000, does provide a unique vibe with its old ballpark charm, but more upgrades are probably necessary. There's a fine line between "old" and "classic," and it's definitely toeing that line.
Rating: Single. Vintage parks provide a unique setting and cool atmosphere, but Kindrick Legion Field could stand to take more steps into this century.
While the park itself is toeing the old-versus-classic line, Daniel said the Brewers' organization is having no problems playing with another line.
"I think we kind of erase that chalk line between having a crazy time on the field with promotions and baseball," Daniel laughed. "In between half innings for three or four minutes, you kind of forget you're at a baseball game and you're just cheering on people that are trying to catch this big foam fish in a giant net."
From the "fish fling" to dancing hot dogs, the Brewers have their share of minor league promotions. They're planning on hosting more theme nights – think "Stars Wars night" or "country night" – this season than they've done in the past, too.
Even with the added gimmicks, though, baseball is still at the forefront of games at Kindrick Legion Field.
Rating: Triple. The Brewers do a good job of balancing baseball and entertainment. There's nothing too far over the top, but still plenty to keep casual fans entertained.
Fans at Kindrick Legion Field can grab a meal at two different locations: the regular concession stand near the main entrance or the BBQ Pit situated behind the first-base line.
The regular concession stand is where you'll find the traditional nachos, hot dogs, popcorn and such. The BBQ Pit, though, offers chicken sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches and the Helena Burger, a $9.25 behemoth of two patties covered in different kinds of cheeses sandwiching slices of bacon.
"We've got some neat stuff going on," said Daniel, noting the concessions offer a once-a-year Irish corn dog he would get "every game" if it was available.
"(There's) nothing too out of the ordinary," he continued, "but the super nachos will definitely get you."
Rating: Double. Like Daniel said, there's nothing too unique about the Brewers' offerings, but ballpark staples are staples for a reason. And the super nachos are a big hit.
The fans are what make going to a game at Kindrick Legion Field an experience. Though the Brewers annually average less than 1,000 fans per home game, they're "rowdy" as Daniel calls them.
They often have something to cheer about, too. The Brewers most recently won a Pioneer League championship in 2010, and big leaguers Gary Sheffield, Ryan Braun and, more recently, Jonathan Lucroy played at Kindrick Legion.
"We may not have the biggest attendance in the Pioneer League, but our fans are loud," Daniel said. "I think I've been pleasantly surprised at how much noise, you know, 800-900 fans can make here at Kindrick. So when you come out to a game, there'll be some fun stuff going on and there's going to be some rowdy fans around you."
Rating: Triple. The fans certainly add to the game-day experience of classic Kindrick Legion Field, which is also enhanced by the view of Mount Helena looking past center field.

Loading... Cheater Pants (2003)by Barbara Park

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Junie B. Jones was another one of my favorite series to read growing up. As a kid I loved these books because of how funny Junie B. was. Her character is real and very relatable to children her age. She is outgoing, funny, friendly, and imaginable. However, at the same time, she is still learning and growing, and makes mistakes, too. With this being said, every reader has the opportunity to see both sides of her charming personality, while being able to share these characteristics and struggles. In addition, the author of "Junie B., First Grader Cheater Pants" makes the writing and language simple for children to understand, also in an engaging way. Not only does the author's depiction of Junie B. relate to readers, but also so does Junie B.'s personal writing, in her journal. She makes common spelling mistakes and writing errors, alike to most children her age, such as "that's how come". I think the main idea of this particular book is to teach children that cheating is never the answer; honesty and trust are far more worthy qualities. Summary: Junie B. Jones forgets to complete one of her homework assignments where she has to come to the front of the class and read what she did over the weekend. Instead of confessing to forgetting to do her homework, Junie copies the work of another classmate which was on a desk near hers. When both girl read their essay, which is the same, and the teacher confronts the two. Junie feels guilty and ends up confessing. After this, Junie swears she will never cheat again until one of her friends offers her a answer during a test. Since the answer was offered to her, Junie believes it is not wrong. However, the two girls feel guilty and confess to the teacher, which the teacher appreciates, they still receive a punishment. Review: The central message of this story is cheating is not worth it because Junie ends up feeling guilty every time and receiving a punishment for it. I like how the story had a ending lesson of cheating is not worth it. In addition, I like how this chapter book included pictures which I think is a good thing for younger children to practice connecting the text and illustrations in order to visualize the story. Summary - When Junie B. Jones' dad won't let her stay up late to finish her homework she cheats on two different occasions. Personal Reflection - This book relates to many kids I know. I have two boys that are in school and they want to stay up late or even wait last minute to do their homework however, I haven't heard of them cheating off of any one. Classroom Extension Ideas - 1. Ask children if they have ever cheated off of someone. 2. Explain what can happen to cheaters. Cheater Pants tells the story of Junie B. Jones cheating on two accounts, once off of May's homework and again off her friend's spelling test. Junie B. Jones learns what it means to cheat and how others lose trust in her because of it. She also begins to understand that it is wrong to cheat and is honest to her teacher and her parents when she cheats off a friend's test. The theme of this book is honesty, and the content includes teamwork, the difference between right and wrong, and accepting the consequences for your actions. I think this book is a clever read that young children would enjoy, and the length is perfect for a child beginning to read chapter books. When her father will not let her stay up late to do her homework, first grader Junie B. copies a classmate's paper. I enjoy the Junie B. Jones series and how her character is realistic and could be anyone of my students in the classroom. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375823026, Paperback)Junie B. Jones has all the answers when it comes to cheating. It's just plain wrong!But what about copying someone else's homework? That's not cheating, right? 'Cause homework isn't even a test! And speaking oftests . . . what if a friend shares an answer that you didn't even ask for? Sharing definitely isn't cheating . . . is it? Uh-oh. Maybe this cheating business is more complicated than Junie B. thought. Could she be a cheater pants and not even know it? From the Hardcover edition. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:38:29 -0400) When her father will not let her stay up late to do her homework, first grader Junie B. copies a classmate's paper. |

Tried something completely different (for me) with this image.
A trip to a local zoo (Pouakai Zoo in New Plymouth) with my daughter last week left me rather stunned at the beauty and majesty of these white tigers!
I've manipulated the original in an attempt to emphasise the textures of her fur and colour of her eyes.
Several layers combined/overlaid (using PSP X2) - original, b&w, negative plus tweaking.
This isn't a technique I've tried before, so I'm interested in any comments or critique.
BTW: White tigers are the result of a mutant gene - that also causes them to have blue eyes which are 'mis-wired' making most of them cross-eyed. (According to my research on Google.)

What's the top ERP solution for insurance companies?
Looking for ERP solutions to meet the unique needs of an insurance company can be challenging, but you'll find some ideas in this expert tip.
We're seeking an ERP application for an insurance industry client. The client wants an application similar to Oracle Forms Technology, but with more flexibility.

We proposed a CRM solution with a commercial type of application server, but they're looking for a core ERP solution instead. Is there a comprehensive ERP system widely used by insurance companies, that covers all aspects of insurance industry? Ideally this solution would include financials and generate personalized reports.
There are a number of different ERP solutions that support integrated reporting, and a number that are broadly used in the insurance industry. Oracle's E-business Suite may be a good choice given their existing experience with Oracle; Nucleus found in its real ROI study that many Oracle customers achieved a positive ROI from Oracle financials. However, you should think carefully before selecting an ERP solution just because it's been purchased by other companies in the insurance industry. The types of processes to be supported, skill level of users, overall cost, flexibility, time to deploy, and other ROI factors will be different for different sizes and types of insurance companies -- even in one vertical, there's no "one size fits all" solution.

HoopsHype Kevin Martin rumors
Martin said he had an idea last year would be his only season in Oklahoma City. There were moments throughout the year, he said, that confirmed that reality. "A lot of times the NBA is about the business," Martin said. "You saw that firsthand with James Harden. Sometimes both sides have to make tough decisions." Oklahoman
Kevin Martin came back to practice today after a week away even though his Achilles tendon still is sore. He returned along with his teammates who hadn't practiced since Saturday's listless loss to the Raptors at Target Center because there's important work to be done with five uninterrupted practices this week before the team's final three preseason games. Minneapolis Star-Tribune
What was the best move by Minnesota this summer? Ricky Rubio: There's been a lot of good moves, but (Nikola) Pekovic was a very important piece for us. (Chase) Budinger is a key player for us. Kevin Martin will give us extra scoring punch. He's been with coach (Rick Adelman) for several seasons scoring 20-plus points, which means his system works for him. What about Corey Brewer? RR: I like that one too. (Andrei) Kirilenko was taking this team to another level defensively and with him leaving, it's good to have Corey Brewer, who can also give us that. HoopsHype
With center Nikola Pekovic agreeing on a new contract, the other big summer move in Minnesota was the signing of Kevin Martin as a free agent from Oklahoma City, a backcourt partner for the Spaniard who should give his team much-needed 3-point shooting help. "He's great," said Rubio, who is currently playing for his country at EuroBasket. "He's doing great things for the team. But I hope he can step up even more and help lead us." ESPN.com
"We have a great team," Barea said, citing Ricky Rubio and Kevin Love. "We also have Kevin Martin and new guys. Our problem is that we haven't been able to maintain ourselves healthy. If we stay healthy, we see ourselves in the playoffs." ESPN.com
Jerry Zgoda: KMartin says being expected to deliver 17, 18 points a night is no pressure at all. "I can do that in my sleep." Twitter @JerryZgoda
(Martin) chose the Wolves' four-year offer worth nearly $28 million over a Thunder proposal that was significantly restricted by the luxury tax. Asked if he seriously considered returning to Thunder for relatively little money but the chance to win a championship, he said, "Always. I also feel like I found the same thing with Minnesota being younger. They've had some injuries over the years, but they're a good team, too. I made a decision and I think it's a great one. I learned from Oklahoma CIty, they're a great organization. The way KD and Russ approach the game, I think that's something I'll bring to Minnesota." Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Asked if he was excited about the prospect of playing with Kevin Love,"I am. After playing with Kevin Durant and Russell (Westbrook), I wasn't going to another team without a superstar. It just elevates your game and makes your life a lot easier. I also think Ricky (Rubio) will be a superstar in the league soon. It was an easy decision, and I'm excited to play with a guy like Kevin Love." Minneapolis Star-Tribune
The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced the team has acquired guard Kevin Martin via a sign-and-trade as part of a three-team deal with Oklahoma City and Milwaukee. As part of the trade, the Wolves send Luke Ridnour and a 2014 second-round pick (from the Los Angeles Lakers via the Phoenix Suns; acquired on July 27, 2012) to the Bucks. Minnesota and Milwaukee will also receive cash considerations from Oklahoma City while the Bucks send the draft rights to Szymon Szewczyk to the Thunder. NBA.com
"We are excited to add a talented veteran in Kevin Martin to our team," said Flip Saunders, Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations. "Kevin is one of the top shooters and more efficient scorers in the NBA and will help us immensely in those areas. Kevin is familiar with Coach Adelman's style of play and had success playing for him in Sacramento and Houston. We expect that to continue in Minnesota." NBA.com
Marc Stein: In latest scenario, Luke Ridnour will end up in Milwaukee, with Wolves signing Corey Brewer and sign-and-trading Kevin Martin from OKC Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: 'Sota needs to move Ridnour & Bucks, I'm told, all set to take him in. That creates space for Wolves to sign Brewer & do S-and-T for Martin Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: So both Corey Brewer and Kevin Martin, by day's end, on course to be Wolves. Latest scenario calls for Bucks to take on Ridnour to help MIN Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Darren Wolfson: Who knows when we'll publicly hear from Adelman. I just know this: he loves Ridnour. The likely giving away of him can't be easy. #twolves Twitter @DarrenWolfson

America in the 1960s and 70s was in turmoil. The civil rights struggle, the war in Vietnam and the sexual revolution defined a nation in conflict. But at 10 o'clock every Saturday night, in dorms and dens, in living rooms and bedrooms across the country, Americans watched "The Carol Burnett Show." For 11 years, the wacky performer yelled like Tarzan and won -- and sometimes broke -- our hearts with her edgy, always sympathetic, characters. She could fall down a flight of stairs or hold her own in a duet with Julie Andrews. Yet, as with so many brilliant comedians, hers was a difficult childhood. A glimpse of something deeper and darker began to emerge in the dramatic career that followed her TV variety show.
