Novo Nordisk climbs to the top ranks of climate management
In its latest ranking released in New York today, the Carbon Disclosure Project includes Novo Nordisk on the lists of the world's leading companies within carbon disclosure and carbon performance.
Novo Nordisk's disclosure score is up by 16 points from 73 in 2009 to 89 in 2010 and the company ranks 2nd in the health care sector. Novo Nordisk has also been selected for the new Carbon Performance Leadership Index which recognises the 48 best performing companies across sectors. The performance index counts only two health care companies.
Paul Dickinson, Chief Executive of the Carbon Disclosure Project, commented:
"Companies in this new Carbon Performance Leadership Index are demonstrating leadership in their commitment to manage greenhouse gas emissions. Companies which manage and reduce their emissions, maximize business resilience and capitalize on opportunities, will be the best placed to succeed as we move towards a low carbon economy."
In 2009, Novo Nordisk achieved a 32% reduction in CO2 emissions from global production sites against a 2004 baseline.
82% of the Global 500 responded to this year's Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) questionnaire.
CDP pioneer
Novo Nordisk has participated in the Carbon Disclosure Project since the first rating was made in 2003. All Novo Nordisk responses, including 2010, are publicly available from CDP's website.

First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt is credited with having this to say about housework: "Personally, I never devote more than 15 minutes a day to it." I consider the statement a mark of her intelligence and am surprised that she actually would have spent even that much time on such menial activity. Few people choose housework as a form of recreation. One notable exception would have been my late mother who in her prime could get absolutely exhilarated anything that0 needed the spit-and-polish treatment.
The man who last month allegedly shot himself on a stranger's front lawn on Millbrook Cove in Benton was arrested Friday, following his release from a local hospital. Timothy Gauldin, 29, of Benton has been charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and filing a false police report. A friend of Gauldin, 35-year-old Jason Gaunt of Benton, allegedly gave him the gun, according to police. He was arrested the day after the shooting and charged with furnishing a felon with a weapon.
According to the Arkansas Department of Justice, no exact time has been set for the hearing in the extortion case of Arkansas Treasurer Martha Shoffner, but it should begin in the next 30 minutes or so. It will be in the court of U.S. Magistrate Judge H. David Young.
Here is the story from the Associated Press:
Ark. treasurer accused of taking cash from broker
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — An affidavit filed in federal court alleges that Arkansas Treasurer Martha Shoffner repeatedly took cash payments from a broker who invested state money.

I always buy packaged hummus and when I do I usually get the ones with some kind of additive like garlic or peppers because the original hummus always tasted weird to me. A while ago my friend made some hummus and it was total disaster so I thought it wasn't a very easy thing to make. Just a few days ago, it came to my attention that it is quite easy and it's tastes a lot more better than the packaged shit.
I got this recipe from Inspired Taste and believe what they say, this recipe is better than store bought hummus. It truly is, otherwise I wouldn't have a bowl of it and a spoon in between my arms as I type this.
You can follow their recipe as I did pretty much did the same, except I doubled the recipe and put less lemon juice.
It serves a lot. If you are going to a party, this recipe is enough for a nice bowl of hummus. If you are going to eat it for yourself and a plus one, then it'll probably last you a week if you are really into hummus.
2 (15oz) cans garbanzo beans/chickpeas drained and rinsed
1/2 cup tahini (buy the jar kind, not the can, you can find this at any middle eastern market)
1/3 cup of lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
1 large garlic clove minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teas sea salt more or less
1 teas cumin
2-4 tbs water (depending on the consistency you want)
olive oil
food processor
In the food processor, pour in tahini and lemon juice. Process for a minute and then scrape the sides, then process for another minute. You will see the tahini/lemon juice mixture will become whipped looking but with a thick consistency.
Add the garlic, olive oil, sea salt and cumin. Process for another minute and then scrape down the sides.
Add one can of garbanzo beans first, process for a minute and then scrape the sides. Add the other can and process for at least 2-3 minutes. You will see the dip to be thick. From here, you may add water to your liking. By this time, give it a taste and see if you'd like more lemon juice or salt.
Top with paprika or don't. Serve with all kinds of stuff like pita bread, cucumbers, radishes or just eat it on its own like I am.
Store in an airtight container.

Student Ordered To Take Off 'Gun Violence Promoting' NRA *HUNTING* T-Shirt
An NRA hunting t-shirt promotes gun violence? Sure against a hunters prey; woodland animals. Which is LEGAL. Or maybe it was the NRA and "protecting America's traditions" wording that sent the school into a mouth foaming tizzy.
Or was it all of the above?
ANAHEIM HILLS (CBSLA.com) — A student at a high school in Anaheim Hills said administrators ordered her to change out of a T-shirt that promoted the National Rifle Association.
Sophomore Haley Bullwinkle said when she wore her NRA shirt to Canyon High School last month, she landed in the principal's office for violating the school's dress code that forbids offensive, violent or divisive clothing.
"They were treating me like I was a criminal," she said. "I was not allowed to wear that at school because it promoted gun violence."
The shirt, which was a gift from Bullwinkle's father when he became a card-carrying member of the NRA, features a buck, an American flag and a hunter's silhouette. It also has the words "National Rifle Association of America: Protecting America's Traditions Since 1871" written in the center.
Bullwinkle's father said he emailed the school's principal to find out why his daughter had to change her shirt.
Principal Kimberly Fricker responded in an email, which said, in part, "The shirt had a gun on it, which is not allowed by school police. It's protocol to have students change when they're in violation of the dress code."
The girl's father, who has retained an attorney, now wants to know how the school defines violence. He said the drill team is allowed to twirl fake rifles and the mascot is a Comanche.
"I think that if you consider the hunter, the image of the hunter to be offensive, certainly there are groups that would consider the Comanche Indian chief to be offensive," he said.
CBS2′s Stacey Butler was unable to reach Fricker for comment.
Video report at link. In which CBS2 reports Haley has worn the t-shirt several times in the past without intervention from the school's shock troops.
Canyon High School dress code policy:
Did you catch this? This disclaimer is so broad you could drive an 18 wheeler through it.
"In general, anything that is divisive or offensive to a staff member"
So students are held hostage at the tyrannical whims of petty gun grabbing fascist staff members.
ENOUGH is ENOUGH!

"Buyer Beware!!! BlackBerry WILL NOT back Purchases"
Lots of apps
BlackBerry will not support or refund for bad applications! They allow developers that DO NOT support their products to continue to take money from users, when their applications do not work.
I purchased MultiAlarm Pro by Fruity Apps and the application will not work on my BlackBerry 9630 - Tour from Verizon Wireless. The application will not allow setting up recurring alarms as there is a software glich that will not allow you to select the days of the week. I have written Fruity Apps three times and no response. I asked BlackBerry to refund the money and they refuse, stating to ask the developer for support. I told them I have done so with no reply! BlackBerry should purge any applcations from it's store if the developer is not willing to reply to requests for support. I will not purchase any more apps from BlackBerry App World as you never know if the softare will work. Too bad for the developers that do what they should!

The Real Deal: Nightcrawlers
Ask any diehard fisherman, chances are they have hunted for nightcrawlers at least once or twice, even if it was only as a kid. A nightcrawler (or really big worm) is one of the most economical and fun types of bait around, and are incredibly easy to catch and store. Although they love shady, moist places like thick lawns and wooded areas, they can be found in almost any type of environment, from fields to old parking lots. These giant worms work on all types of fish and, who knows, having some live bait may be just the difference to get your day's desired catch. So if you happen to know a young fisherman interested in learning the finer points of the sport, or just want to do a little worm hunting yourself, here are some tips and instructions to get you going.
• Flashlight
• Red cellophane
• Storage container with small holes poked in it
• Your backyard (or almost any outdoor area) at night, especially after rain
• Cover the tip your flashlight with red cellophane
• Use a sharp object to poke small holes in the cover of your storage container
Since nightcrawlers are easily found at night, head outdoors once it's dark, preferably after a rain. No rain in the forecast? Crawlers will most likely still be out. However, if you'd like a little extra help, spray your lawn before the day is over to give them a little extra coaxing.
To begin hunting, shine your flashlight slowly over the ground before you. The red light allows you to see the crawlers, but helps you remain undetected to them. Nightcrawlers love moisture, so as you're hunting, turn over leaves, rocks, and the like to aid in your search.
See a crawler? Act fast! Once you've got one in your sights, do not hesitate. They are faster than you may think. Reach down and with a quick darting motion grab the crawler, yanking it up firmly and putting it in your container. Tread lightly … nightcrawlers can feel the vibrations caused by footsteps, and once spooked will quickly slip back into their holes.
Hunting with a junior fisherman? Remember, if a worm is separated from its back end, it usually can regenerate a new one. This may be a comfort to first-time hunters on the off chance they win a worm tug of war, causing the worm to break in half.
Happy hunting!

Shreveport woman says pedicure got very 'weird'
POSTED: Friday, April 25, 2014 - 10:32am
UPDATED: Friday, April 25, 2014 - 10:39am
(KSLA) — A Shreveport woman says her pedicure got very "uncomfortable" when she says the nail tech started groping her thighs.
"Is he really doing what I think he is?"
That's what Lawanda Warren says she was thinking when she got her first and probably last pedicure at Style Nails in Shreveport.
She says this cellphone video shows a male nail tech crossing the line when he started massaging her legs.
"The massage kind of got weird, because he went up my legs. He kept going up and up and, then, he was up under the towel. You know, just groping my thighs," said Warren.
That's when she said she pulled out her cell phone to catch him in action.
But nail tech Huey Tran says he didn't do anything wrong. He says the video shows what is supposed to happen when a customer wears a dress: a towel covering her legs and a quick leg massage.
Customer Karen Emerson says after nine years of pedicures from Huey, she's never had an issue.
"I always wear pants, but if anybody came in with a skirt or a dress on, he would put a towel across their knees, and that's as far as they've ever gone," said Emerson.
But Warren says her pedicure went further.
"It made me feel ashamed. It just bothered me the whole weekend," she said.
CNN affiliate KSLA reports warren filed a police report and the Shreveport police department is investigating.

Since the OP couldn't bother, a route description: "Wild, Wild West" begins on the left side of the cave on the left end of the Parking Lot Wall, just right of the conspicuous column on which you will find the 5.11 "Limestoned". This is the same start as "Route of All Evil", which breaks right at the third bolt. Begin in the cave, climbing up steep rock past three bolts to make some cool moves around a corner to join "Limestoned" at the final bolt and shared anchors. Stays interesting and pumpy all the way through. |

Prayer Circles
Read Prayers. |
Merlock 4/15/2008 19:34 |
Keep in mind, Dianne, finding religion does not mean one must cut out all else, though if "hanging out" involves things you no longer consider moral, that is a different story. In any event, may God be with you and guide you through these hard times. Amen. |
mystic.dragon9 4/16/2008 03:35 |
Merlock is correct, think of it this way.. All people on earth are God's children, no matter what background or faith they come from. You should always be accepting of others and respect their beliefs and traditions, for that is what God would want you to do. As for your journey through Christianity, congratulations on making it this far, and may you find the strength, wisdom, heart, and knowledge to understand and fulfill God's tasks and wishes which are laid before you. May there be many blessings upon your path. |

So many gold buyers Chicago offers are available for you to acquire the best rates for your jewel. The deals are different depending on a number of factors that are subject to the policies of any one seller in Chicago. Here are some of the factors that you may like to look at for the best sales.
Testing of karats in your jewelry in terms of quality is one thing that is used for the pricing. Good quality jewelry will equally attract perfect rates for you. This is thus one of the first things done whenever you take your jewelry to the buyer and it is a basis used by many of them allover the world today.
You will have to know a number for things concerning this karat testing and how it is done in order to acquire the best rates. Furthermore, it is good that you always take your gem to a credible buying place in Chicago. Several things will lead you to such a buyer for all the good results you are after.
Over the recent years, a number of problems have hit the jewel selling market due to many mischievous people that are after extorting money from fake deals. Unfortunately, more of them keep coming into the market at all times. It is wise that you ensure you get the deal from a credible place in your area.
Customer reviews are the best guide for people to get the right buyer in their area. It is said that the customer is always right and thus you can rely on them for all the good reasons. Look at both the positive and negative reviews as you go through a list of available options.
Pricing is a major source of dispute between clients and the jewelry buyers. Everyone would want a good value for their precious stones no matter the size. However, this is not the case as it is hindered by the values of karat tests and weighing in the initial stages of receiving the jewelry.
A lot of loss has been made due to the mistakes that are made at the initial stages of receiving the jewels for buying. A number of surveys and investigations have been carried out to show where the problems actually are. They help you make the right decision on whom to visit for your sales.
Take a look at the research results and read a few discussions that will help you make your decisions well. Such reports and analysis are available for you online and thus it is easy to get the right person in a very short time. Consider this at all times in order to get the right share of what is really yours.
It is due to the huge number of gold buyers Chicago can give you that there is the need for caution. Make good use of the advice provided here to do your own research on where to take your gem. It is a good way to stay safe in this business.
When people seek out jewelry appraisal Chicago locals can look online. They can find brokers who buy gold on the Chicago precious metals exchange by looking on the Internet at http://www.newerajewelryncoin.com/buying.html for these business people.

It's Their Turn to Save the World
In Ma-Yi's family show, Asian-American kids are the heroes
It's hardly a surprise when a children's show has a message. Once adults start impersonating the young, there's a mighty temptation to preach about the rewards of kindness or being tidy. But in Ma-Yi Theater Company's production of Lloyd Suh's The Wong Kids in the Secret of the Space Chupacabra GO!, the message isn't in a tidy moral during the final scene. It's in the very existence of the show.
The Wong Kids' story is taken straight from the Young Adult pantheon: Marginalized adolescents discover superpowers, a galactic menace approaches, and supernatural beings lurk throughout an unassuming neighborhood.
Wrapped in the familiarity, though, is something casually radical. Two Asian-American siblings save the universe.
Since 1989, Ma-Yi has been nurturing and producing Asian-American theatre and theatremakers. The company originally focused on Filipino-American artists, then broadened its mission to the Pan Asian-American community in 1998. To make a seemingly simple children's show, Ma-Yi reached out even further, spearheading a collaboration that includes the Ensemble Studio Theater, the Children's Theater Company (CTC) in Minneapolis, and the Great Jones Rep. (New York performances are in the Ellen Stewart Theater at La MaMa.)
The four-year process allowed Suh and director Ralph B. Peña to work with actors and designers in an unusually intimate way. The Wong Kids bears the hallmarks of both a devised piece—physical-theatre invention, playful interaction with the audience—and a densely written text chock full of puns, silliness, and sudden stretches of heartfelt emotion.
Peña, who is also Ma-Yi's artistic director, is still tinkering. This is his first children's show, but he's somewhat haunted by the memory of his company's last attempt at family theatre nearly 15 years ago. "It was a disaster!" he says. "Don't ask! We didn't know what we were doing."
Here, though, Ma-Yi has a partner well versed in youth-oriented work. "Throughout, CTC would come in and give us notes," Peña says. "They kept saying, 'Don't make children's theatre!' Meaning, 'Don't come "down" to the children.'" [Read more →]

The "Monkey" and the Chinese Circus
Inside the acrobatics of Monkey: Journey to the West
Who knew how difficult it was to find performers who can spin plates? That's what director Chen Shi-Zheng discovered when he traveled to China to find 23 acrobats adept at traditional Chinese circus techniques. It took him half a year to track them down.
"A lot of people have abandoned training in these classic acts," explains the New York-based director. That's why he was so intent on incorporating the art form into Monkey: Journey to the West, the opening production for the 2013 Lincoln Center Festival.
"I wanted to give a spotlight on this dying tradition," Chen says. "I want the people who are practicing, especially young people, to value what they do. In China, it's very unappreciated."

Meet This Season's Breakout Actor
Now on Broadway, Cory Michael Smith stars in his third play of the season
Many actors would be lucky to book one high-profile play in a season, but Cory Michael Smith is on his third. He is currently making his Broadway debut as Fred in Breakfast at Tiffany'sat the Cort Theatre. In the fall, he played Elder Thomas in The Whale at Playwrights Horizons. Over the summer, he starred as John in Cock at the Duke on 42nd Street. "This past year I've been really fortunate," Smith says. "A lot of the things that I've pursued and been interested in have just kind of lined up magically."
It wasn't quite magic, of course. Smith had to work for the parts. He auditioned for Cock, about a man named John who's torn between his long-time boyfriend and his new girlfriend, after the actor originally cast as John dropped out. Smith was asked to cold-read two-thirds of the play at his final callback.

A Playwright Keeps It "Really Really" Ambiguous
Paul Downs Colaizzo invites arguments at MCC Theater
In Really Really, a wild party leads to a damaging rumor that tests the loyalties and friendships of a group of college friends. The events of that night are never fully spelled out for the audience, and as patrons left a recent production, they had many theories.
No one knows what happened, however, except the playwright, Paul Downs Colaizzo.
"There's a fine line between 'unspecific' and 'ambiguous,' and I feel comfortable and certain that if you listen closely, it's trackable," he says. "It's not trackable in the sense that it's obvious, or that if you sit down with the text you'll eventually be able to figure it out. But what I know to have happened as the inciting incident of the play is honored throughout the play."
Really Really is Colaizzo's New York playwriting debut. "I think ahead a lot in life, and for whatever reason, I really did not think ahead when it came to this career of mine," he says. "I only really started focusing on writing as a career in 2009. And I had very little information. I really just found out last month how much playwrights make Off Broadway." (Colaizzo previously worked as an assistant company manager at Xanadu, where he developed a popular web series about the fictional Broadway mogul Cubby Bernstein, and later, he assisted Douglas Carter Beane as an associate writer on Sister Act.)

Katie Holmes and company talk "Dead Accounts"
Inside the new Broadway dramedy
The Broadway premiere of a new play is always a major event, but sometimes, it can feel refreshingly modest for the artists involved.
Take Dead Accounts, the new dramedy by Theresa Rebeck that officially opens at the Music Box Theatre tomorrow night. The story of a Cincinnati family that's trying to keep it together, it features a raft of marquee names. Norbert Leo Butz plays Jack, the son who suddenly arrives from New York with a possibly illegal fortune; Katie Holmes plays his frustrated sister Lorna, who has never managed to leave home; and Judy Greer (13 Going on 30, 27 Dresses) plays his estranged wife Jenny, who turns up in the Midwest for a variety of shady reasons.
But despite all these stars, Dead Accounts is still a one-set, five-character play. Many members of the cast and creative team are happy to work on something so contained.
"Usually, I'm facing either a gigantic army or a big musical," says director Jack O'Brien, whose Broadway credits include Hairspray, Catch Me if You Can, and Tom Stoppard's three-play epic The Coast of Utopia. "When you're working large, you've got to come up with a lot of answers fast. You've got to hold the center of the room in a way that makes everyone feel they're being listened to and that they're going in the right direction, but it's like herding."

POSTED: Sunday, May 1, 2011 - 7:25pm
UPDATED: Monday, May 2, 2011 - 10:45am
EL PASO - Today dozens of people observed Holocaust Remembrance Day in Downtown El Paso.
"Were celebrating those people that lived, and we're mourning those people who died," Beth Lipson said.
Lipson organized the Holocaust commemoration at the Holocaust Museum in Downtown El Paso.
"We're hoping to find justice and not revenge in the things that are happening today, that we can translate from the Holocaust to our everyday present lives," she said.
There were nine survivors of the Holocaust at the commemoration. One of them got up in front of the audience and spoke about the time he and other survivors lived through.
"They came out of a horrendous time, a horrendous time and they survived, and they flourished and they had families of their own," Lipson said.
Lipson says Holocaust Remembrance Day isn't just important for the survivors. She says it's the younger generations of people that need to be reminded of the genocide that happened.
"We don't want to forget. I feel like if we forget, history will just repeat itself and it will happen again," she said.

The first movie under John Rutherford's direction at COLT studio, after purchasing the studio in 2003, was
RELOAD. Making a hardcore COLT Movie of this quality certainly required some dexterity. The production
had its challenges due to the underwater sex sequence involving Marcus Iron and Rob Romoni. Rutherford
wanted to push the boundaries with the ways viewers got to look at COLT Men by staging innovative shots
of underwater penetration. Award-winning videographer, Todd Montgomery, used an underwater camera
to capture the scenes up close far before anyone else in the industry was doing it at the time. The scenes
were seen up close and the performers were very excited to try something new. The COLT Movie
RELOAD and its underwater scene will be one to remember.
The mood on the COLT Movie set was overall very positive, as each of the guys knew they were making
history and helping to take COLT Studio in a great new direction for the new owners. Of course, having
the opportunity to participate in so much man-on-man action, with a group of muscular men, was also an
incentive to do great work on the set.

Week three, day one
Hunger games
I can't begin to explain how hungry I feel the entire time now! Seriously, it's like two hours after I eat my stomach is screaming for food. I know that this is a good sign that my metabolism is starting to kick in, but do I really need it to kick in that much?!
Having said that, I don't really mind eating more as long as I'm active, which brings me to my next revelation: this time last year my weight was 46 kilos. I'm not really a tall girl (164cm) but, still, with my height, I looked like a living skeleton. I probably felt like one too… just hollow.
So, the fact that I'm eating my three-meals-a-day with two snacks and that I'm actually preparing food for myself is simply awesome. Not only that, but I appreciate my body more than I ever did before.
I know my mum is very happy that I'm simply eating regularly and especially that I'm cooking!
To all the beautiful mamas and especially to my role model who is the kindest, smartest and, strongest woman in my life... my Mother. Happy Mother's Day!
Week three, day three
A good day
Long, busy, good day at work. My plan was to workout later before catching up with some friends but, now I'm home I'm too tired to think about any of that. So I decided to take the day off and just be at home. This time not because I was down, but because I wanted to and I felt my body needed the rest.
I like how active I'm now, but add work and personal stuff, be it having a manicure, catching up with a friend or simply finding time to write my blog, and it can get a bit overwhelming. But I can't deny that I'm loving every second of it.
Week three, day four
The Day
Today was "THEEE DAY"! Three 'first time' experiences:
- The day I got hypnotised
- The day I had my first colonic hydrotherapy.
- The day I cooked a meal for me and myself only
Let me tell you a bit about each of them:
My session with Patricia was just as productive and fabulous as the previous ones. What I knew (mostly from the movies) about hypnosis is that once you are hypnotised you are no longer in control of yourself. But what I learnt through Patricia was that, even though that your consciousness has given in already, your unconsciousness is the one in control – which means you are still in control and you won't do something you wouldn't normally do in your waking state. And, gee, I would do it again in a heartbeat. I can't really describe the whole thing, but what I can say is that, at the start, I heard, understood (and still remember) Patricia's words. Shortly after, I started to feel kind of foggy and was able to hear and somehow understand her, but couldn't make sense of the words anymore (I still have no idea what she actually said!) and then I remember vividly when she started counting for me to come back to being alert, and I was!
The entire time I was hypnotised, I was fully aware of what Patricia was saying in a very deep, out-of-this-world kinda way. I can't quite explain it, but it is a memory that I'll carry with me.
What I loved most about my hypnosis was that I got to experience the mystery of my unconsciousness; he and I will be working together a lot more from now on!
Afterwards, I went to meet Kay Vosloo (who by the way, has the most perfect skin I've ever seen, mashAllah!) at the Chiropractic Health & Physiotherapy Center in Jumeirah Beach Road. I have been brushing off the idea of my treatment with Kay since I got the appointment. I'll spare you all the unnecessary details and let's just say that, even though it was uncomfortable and not a thing to talk about during a dinner date, I did love the benefits of it. For someone like me, who has suffered in the past with poor eating habits and then digestive problems, I found the treatment to be highly beneficial to me and I felt great after. I still have another one to go. One thing for sure, and I told Kay already, she will be seeing again every couple of months or so.
Now the most exciting part of my day: I cooked alone and for myself.
I have been preparing food and cooking for the past couple of weeks, but for the cooking part, I always had a friend with me encouraging me and cooking (doing most of the work usually!). Today I did it all by myself and I LOVED IT! I might need to look more into the portion sizes and try not to burn my salmon next time but I will get there!
All in all I feel great today – inside and out. Very grateful and thankful.
Week four, day five
A quote
I will sum up the day in one quote: "Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly." Neil Gaiman
Week four, day seven
Fit and healthy
I started kicking my fitness routine up a notch. Vanessa (my PT and the Fitness Manger at Fitness First Abu Dhabi) is simply awesome. She pushes all the right buttons to get me moving and I L.O.V.E it. She promised me that if I'm good for the next two weeks, with no more chocolates, and if there is improvements when I get my muscle mass checked in, in two weeks, she's going to give me a KitKat Chunky! Who knows, I might not even feel like chocolate anymore once I see the change before my eyes (inshAllah!). But if I do have it, I'm willing to deal with the consequences as you have to satisfy your cravings every now and then!
As for Sarah Queen (my nutritionist) she made me very happy today with her comments on my food diary, and her most important comment for me, which was to make sure I have enough carbs before and after my workout to replace the energy lost. I'm progressing and I love how toned I'm starting to feel.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Mark Konkol is Pulitzer Prize-winning writer from Chicago. He's known to frequent Cub games with die hard Cub Fan, Johnny Moller.
Konkol was born and raised in Chicago's south suburbs.[1] He graduated in 1991 from Thornwood High School in South Holland, Illinois. He then attended Culver–Stockton College for two years, where he was a starting lineman for the Wildcats football team. He then transferred to Western Illinois University, where he graduated in 1995 with bachelor's degrees in communication and journalism.[2] While at Western Illinois, he was a reporter and news editor at the Western Courier, the university's student newspaper. During the spring before his graduation, Konkol was hired by the Macomb Journal newspaper in Macomb, Illinois where he covered county government and high school sports. [3]
Konkol wrote for Star Newspapers. He later covered Chicago City Hall for the Daily Southtown newspaper (now the SouthtownStar) and wrote a column for the Chicago Sun-Times' Red Streak edition. He joined the Sun-Times' news staff in 2004 and has covered transportation, Cook County courts and government and Chicago neighborhoods.[4] In 2011, he became the paper's Writer at Large.
Among other things, Konkol wrote columns and an occasional blog for the Chicago Sun-Times called "Konkol's Korner."
In September 2012, Konkol resigned from the Sun-Times to join DNAinfo.com as the start-up local news website's Writer at Large.
On April 18, 2011, Konkol, crime reporter Frank Main and photographer John J. Kim won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting for "their immersive documentation of violence in Chicago neighborhoods, probing the lives of victims, criminals and detectives as a widespread code of silence impedes solutions."
Konkol lives in Chicago's Pullman neighborhood on the city's South Side.[5]

Summer Dining Is Hottest in London's Soho
LONDON ( TheStreet) -- Locals love to complain about the unpredictable weather and unforgiving rain, but usually it's done in one of those charming 4 p.m. pub scenes overflowing into the streets of Soho. There's something uniquely magical about summer in London, especially at the utterly hip eateries that now define the once gritty area.
Some of Soho's best eateries are a more casual sort, including the new Principi, a counter-style bakery and open kitchen with a wood-fired oven and all-day menu of Italian baked goods, cheesy entrees and Tuscan specialties. Busy from morning to night, Principi draws a mix of locals and office workers tucking into leisurely breakfasts and quick lunches inside the communal-style eatery, which oozes farmhouse style and comes with a price tag that's little more than chains such as EAT or Pret A Manger.
Dean Street Townhouse opened early in London's Soho with a dark atrium and elegant dining room that embraces the feel of an age-old clubhouse. |
Further down Wardour street is the original location of well-known Thai restaurant Busaba Eathai, which has expanded across London in recent years to three locations. Soho's has a communal dining room with bench-style seats behind an iconic facade of retractable windows. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, but the seafood dishes, including calamari and whole baked fish or soups and curries, is well worth the hour-plus wait you'll face on busier weekends.
Perhaps the toughest Soho restaurant to get into at the moment is Polpetto, on the upper level of the French House, an acclaimed haunt dismissive of anything smacking of TV, film or celebrity culture. Don't try getting a reservation; they're not accepted. Lunch and dinner are on a first-come, first-served basis where you likely won't be the first one on the list regardless of how early you show up. Past a main floor terrace with bearded Guinness drinkers and women in scarves and sunglasses despite evening darkness, a narrow stairway leads to a small landing where a Swedish host surveys your approach, clipboard in hand. "We are totally full for the whole night," is his common response before taking cell numbers to which he can text last-minute openings later in the evening. The lucky few that get in are ushered into a single-room dining room of well-worn tabletops, mismatched chairs and coveted banquettes facing a second-floor Soho street scene. Since there is no air conditioning, windows let in a breeze that sends the row of simple, flickering light bulbs swaying. There is no shortage of charm at Polpetto, even before the first bite. A choice of 30 wines by the glass fulfills its proletariat promise, followed by a daily menu of small-plate Venetian osteria dishes such as grilled octopus, caramelized onion flatbread and delicate monkfish sourced from small farms and producers in northern Italy.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Sharp Dumbbell

The remains of a sunlike star paint butterfly wings across the cosmos in a newly released infrared picture of Messier 27, aka the Dumbbell nebula, taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.
The object is what's known as a planetary nebula, so named because early astronomers thought the faint interstellar clouds resembled Jupiter-like planets. In fact, such nebulae are what's left when midsize stars die and shed their outer layers of gas.
M27 was discovered in 1764 by Charles Messier, who included it in his now famous catalog of nebulous objects. Although Messier didn't realize it at the time, the Dumbbell was the first planetary nebula he described.

The picture highlights dramatic changes in Eastern Europe, most likely tied to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1992, as more people moved west and urbanization of the former Soviet states declined.

Spacey Jewelry

Dense, bright knots of gas shine like jewels in a recently released Hubble Space Telescope picture of the Necklace nebula, a planetary nebula about 15,000 light-years away. Discovered in 2005, the cosmic adornment is actually a cloud of gas and dust created by the death of a sunlike star.
About 10,000 years ago the dying star swelled into a red giant and enveloped a close stellar companion. This caused the dead star's core and the companion star—seen together above as a central dot—to whirl around each other so fast that they now complete an orbit in less than a day.
Due to centrifugal force, most of the gas from the swollen star escaped along the star's equator, producing the unusual ring.

Like veins of jade running through cave walls, the green-tinged waters of Omulyakhskaya and Khromskaya Bays (see map) cut into the northern Siberian coast in a NASA satellite picture released August 11. The land around the bays is dotted with so-called thermokarst lakes, which are created by water released as permafrost thaws.
Thawing permafrost and thermokarst lakes both release the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, so scientists monitor such landscapes closely to tease out any implications for future climate change.

Nice and quiet park. We faced out to river. Good pull-thru with FH. Verizon worked good for the internet but not phone reception. Owners were very nice. Easy to get to. But we must have picked the wrong month. Fishing was not good unless you had a boat. And the mayflies were horrible. We were unable to spend anytime outside due to the bugs. And we couldn't leave any windows open as they get in thru the screens. 2 days later we are still swatting them in our mh. Do watch out for the dog poo. Another time of the year it may have been better. At least it was quiet and not many people there. - burtonsbuggy
I stayed here two years ago. This time, it appears they did acquire the "closed" park next door. Cheap, quiet place to overnight. Pull-throughs do not have sewer, back-ins, have sewer. You get a special key for the bathrooms. I did not get one, so didn't check the bathrooms. Owners were nice people, helped me into my site. Also, I filled up my water tank so I wouldn't have to use my hose, found out my water pump went POOF. The park owner very nicely let me drain my tank (I asked permission) onto the ground so I wouldn't have to travel with a full tank. I appreciated this. - DXSMac
The good; inexpensive, not to far off of the Interstate, friendly folks own it, long pull throughs, good Wi-Fi, good Verizon, The negative; As I was hooking up the electric I failed to inspect the grass median between sites and stepped in dog doo doo. I did notice the owner has two very large dogs that have free run of the park. Also for some reason the owner has lined all the streets and ends of the parking sites with railroad ties sticking out of the ground 2 feet. This actually narrows up the access roads and parking sites and for big rigs makes swing room and access much more difficult. He did guide us into the site and I had to swing through tree branches with my mirror to swing wide enough to avoid hitting the railroad ties. Probably would not return. - run2

A beautiful park that is well maintained. Open all year, though only one loop remains open during the winter (starting November). We stayed for two nights on our way to Seattle. We would definitely stay again. - donpen
$24 per night was for a level asphalt pad site with 50 amp electric, water, picnic table, and fire ring. The campground is in a desert-like setting but has been planted with deciduous trees and six-foot high hedges surround each site in the Brownlee loop, which greatly increases privacy on the generous sites. This lovely campground is located near the bend in the Snake River where Oregon Trail travelers bid farewell to the river as they continued their trek westward. Hiker/biker and tent camping are available as are cabins. Bicycles are permitted on park roads. The campground is located near I-84 but there was no traffic noise in the Brownlee loop. The town of Huntington is four miles away and has a couple grocery stores. AT&T cell service is non-existent. We used our Millenicom Jetpack for Internet access, as it was sporadically getting one bar of 4G LTE but more often three bars 3G. There were five OTA TV stations—four PBS and ABC. - DD Rolling Ranch
Unfortunately, the river is very, very low which makes the views less than desirable. However, you can't beat the price for full hookups. Was very quiet - no tv, no cell phone reception. A nice respite. And there are many more pull-thru sites since I was here last. - frmOregon

Initial Jobless Claims Increase (Again)
Many folks who track the economy and root wildly for its recovery know that the first thing to look at is housing and jobs. I had really hoped that the mild winter we experienced across the US would translate into great gains in the labor market. Indeed, we saw increase in payrolls growth and lowered claims for jobless benefits in recent months, but now we are flattening out. Perhaps spring came early in the labor market? We already shed the jobs we didn't need and added the ones we did?
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits for the April 21 week dropped by 1,000 to 388,000, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Only a reduction of 1,000 claims… that's really disappointing. Maybe we are getting the payback for the great gains we experienced in Q4 2011 and Q1 2012.
"It's certainly disturbing that we are not seeing these numbers heading down," said Beth Ann Bovino, an economist at Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in New York.
A Labor Department official said there was nothing unusual in the state-level data in the claims report.
Following the Federal Open Market Committee meeting Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on said the U.S. central bank "would not hesitate" to launch another round of bond purchases to drive borrowing costs lower if it looked like the economy needed it.
6.68 million people were claiming unemployment benefits in the week that ended April 7th.

Accutane. You could spend years of your life experimenting with elimination diets that will pretty much render you unable to enjoy so many types of food (and possibly not help your acne), or you could give Accutane a try. There's a lot of scary stuff around about it, but so many people take Accutane and find that it gives them relief from their symptoms while only experiencing fairly mild and temporary side effects. The reason you hear so many of the bad stories is because people that had no problems and went on to be happy and acne free don't hang around acne forums anymore. I know that when I had clear skin (on the regimen at the time) I didn't want anything to do with this forum and wanted to forget about my acne days.

Tackling doping in sport
Monday, October 29th, 2012 @ 10:42AM
News of the explosive report released by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) earlier this month has rocked the cycling world to its core. Lovers of sport have been left reeling and now face the stark realisation that sophisticated doping infiltrated road racing at an elite level.
The scandal has devastated fans, damned the legacy of many of cycling's greatest champions and unfortunately shattered the integrity of the sport of cycling.
Pages of evidence, testimony of former teammates and friends, demonstrated to the world that doping in sport was now a sophisticated business. Further it revealed that those who wanted to cheat the system, their fans and themselves, made every effort possible to cover it up to avoid exposure and prosecution for doping.
Like many with a love of sport, I was deeply distressed at the seemingly entrenched and systemic nature of the doping revealed to be so prevalent among some of the world's best professional cyclists.
Put simply, doping is cheating. Doping ruins sport for everyone. It only cheats the fans and honest athletes and competitors who play by the rules, stay clean and work hard to reach their potential. Dopers wreck the integrity of sport. Kids look up to our elite athletes and those that dope undermine the trust bestowed by fans, spectators and the community.
The Government plays an important role in protecting the integrity of sport in Australia. Our anti-doping agency, the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA), is a world-leading innovator in the fight against drugs in sport and a pioneer in moving beyond simple blood tests towards thorough investigations.
In the week just gone ASADA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Australian Crime Commission formalising a longstanding relationship. The MoU will ensure ASADA's access to a high level of Australian law enforcement intelligence and more effective processes for communication, information-sharing and collaboration.
The MoU complements the Government's submission to the second phase of the World Anti-Doping Authority's (WADA) review of the World Anti-Doping Code. In our submission we strongly encourage WADA to update the World Anti-Doping Code to reflect the important role investigations and intelligence gathering play in catching, prosecuting and sanctioning drug cheats.
Investigations are now playing a more important role than ever. Since 2006, a third of the athletes on ASADAs Register of Findings are there as a result of investigations, not a positive test for a banned substance.
In further recognition of the difficulty in having a test for each new substance used and abused by drug cheats, in July ASADA introduced the Athlete Biological Passport. The Passport is an individual, electronic record of each individual athlete's biological profile, developed over time from the collection of multiple blood samples.
It is different from traditional detection methods in that the Passport looks at the effects of doping rather than directly detecting the prohibited substances or methods used. The long term storage of blood samples means doping violations can be detected by noting differences from an athlete's established blood profile, rather than testing for and identifying prohibited substances directly.
Following the revelations of the past week it is important that we explore ways to strengthen our regime against doping in sport. To this end I have asked ASADA to brief me on ways we can further strengthen their investigative powers.
The Gillard Government firmly believes that to maintain the integrity of sport we must ensure all the resources and agencies we have at our disposal are utilised to their maximum potential. It is timely that we examine what options there are to strengthen the regime and continue to show leadership internationally.
This has been a tough week for sport lovers, particularly those that follow cycling. Through ASADA this Government will continue to work to keep Australia at the forefront of the fight against doping cheats.

Sad day for the sport of cycling. I think this goes on in other sports more then it is talked about. my main worry is what messages does this send to teen athletes?

Norwich's England U21 keeper Declan Rudd practises his ball juggling skills at Thursday's final training session ahead of the play-off, first leg tie against Serbia. Picture: Simon Finlay
Thursday, October 11, 2012
Norwich City keeper Declan Rudd admits he is loving every minute of being involved in England U21s' bid to reach Euro2013.
The Canaries' youngster is part of Stuart Pearce's squad bidding to overcome their Serbian counterparts in a two-legged showdown that begins on home soil for the Diss-bred keeper in Friday's Carrow Road opener.
Rudd has been restricted to one senior Norwich appearance this season in the Capital One Cup win over Scunthorpe, but the 21-year-old is ready to do his duty in front of the Norfolk public.
"It's great. You are coming away to work and play with the best players in the country at this age group, some of the best coaches and the training is sharp," he said. "You learn a lot from the other players and their experiences. It is a great chance to be involved. You just have to enjoy every second. Obviously it will be a good crowd supporting us and getting behind us like they always do behind the team on a Saturday afternoon. I'm expecting the same for the England lads. All the lads are looking forward to the atmosphere. For me it would be a great honour to play. We don't know the team yet, we don't know who is in or out. It would be a great occasion for me if I could. Let's wait and see."
Rudd, speaking to the club's official site on Thursday afternoon, insists England's young charges will be fully prepared for the stiff challenge posed by the Serbs.
"If we play to our full potential we don't need to really worry about them because we have the quality in our team to deal with it," he said. "As long as we stick to our game plan and play to our capabilities then we have a very good chance. We have a great group of players here with a good team ethic. The lads are positive and hopeful of a good result. If we win this two-legged play-off then we get ourselves into the European Championships in the summer. There is a lot of stake but that just fires the lads up even more. I think as long as we stick to what the gaffer tells us to do and we play to our full potential we have a great chance.
"To play in the European Championships – it doesn't get much bigger than that at our age group level – so it would be a great occasion and a possibility to be involved at a major tournament. All the lads will do their best to be there."
• Norwich City's teenager winger Josh Murphy has been drafted into the England U18s' squad for a forthcoming friendly against Italy's U18s at Mansfield Town's One Call Stadium.
The 17-year-old will join up with Noel Blake's squad for the first time when they face the young Azzuri on October 24 after featuring regularly in Scott Marshall's Norwich development squad.
Murphy's early season form also earned him a place on the bench for the recent Capital One Cup win over Doncaster and Marshall believes international exposure is a huge positive.
"It will really help Josh's development to be involved, even the experience of going away and being with the squad will be wonderful for him," he said. "It's an opportunity to mix with a bunch of really talented lads and I hope he can make the most of it.
"We're really pleased for him and it's great for all our guys to see him getting that recognition. We obviously want more of our guys to be involved, and seeing Josh in there will no doubt give them confidence to push on."

Ball-juggling is not a skill that I want to see our goal keepers implementing on match-days.

Nice to see Declan play at carra rd. Pity he 's not on the bench for premier games. Still when you pay that much for a current bunn you must know a lot about football and how to demotivate youngsters.just how many youngsters did Liverpool put out against us?
Thursday, October 11, 2012
The purchase of Bunn is just one of a series of odd decisions and actions which, when taken together, suggest that maybe, just maybe, it's not just our strikers who have taken their eyes off the ball.
Friday, October 12, 2012
Whatever our position is by Christmas, Declan deserves to be given a chance. As Kent says, neither Declan nor Jed has ever let the club down and are being treated very badly. A baffling decision indeed. As our politicians prove, it is easy to spend other people's money and all too easy to waste it. Not all the clowns in the world work in the circus!
Friday, October 12, 2012
Dec didn`t make the U21 bench. It can`t help that he has been, nonsensically, pushed down the GK pecking order @ Carra Rud by the purchase of Mr. Bunn. Like just about everybody else I can see no logic in it at all, however hard I try to play devil`s advocate. Like SussexYellow I have wondered whether there is a sub-plot whereby we unload Ruddy at a fat profit while his stock is high. Trouble is, whether it`s his fault or not, conceding 17 goals in 7 games doesn`t do his share value any favours. So maybe that blows the sub-plot out of the water? The other weird decisions include Ayala @ Vaughan (letting them out on loan), Turner (buying him), C. Martin (keeping him) and striker non- recruitment (all we did was help Blackburn fund their purchase of Jordan Rhodes). Perhaps we`ll make a move for Conor Wickham..........
Saturday, October 13, 2012
I am so glad that the England management show some faith in Declan's ability unlike the idiot who manages his club side. Bunn who???
Thursday, October 11, 2012
Problem with Jordan Rhodes I believe is that he cost eight million to sign and wages are £40,000 per week, hence he never came to Carra and why we had to help find his purchase.
Saturday, October 13, 2012
Odd that a c**p Championship side can do it on Indian chicken-feed whan we can`t do it on Banham`s Best Basted Bantams. Specially when given a value-added boost by the Charisma of Delia. Point is, WHY did we deem it necessary to blow a million or so on another bench-warming goalie? Who was not even match fit at the time. I believe the hidden agenda involves Ruddy as a striker. Once that looks promising, we`ll loan him out......
Monday, October 15, 2012
The purchase of Bunn is one of the strangest decisions we have seen. We have two young 'keepers of England class in Rudd and Steer, both of whom have never let us down when called into action for the first team. Bunn's fee and wages must be in the the region of £1 million for this year and looks an unnecessary expense to me. Anyway, let's hope at least Rudd and Steer get loaned out soon to get some games. As you say, Wivenhoe, this must demoralise and further demotivate our talented youngsters.
Friday, October 12, 2012
The Bunn thing is totally unfathomable, unless they are thinking if our position looks hopeless by Christmas, offload Ruddy while his star is shining and he's in the England picture.

Lawyer Lied to IRS Agent About Bank Account and Unreported Income
FELIX LANDAU, 62, of Redmond, Washington, a lawyer previously practicing in Bellevue, Washington was sentenced today to 18 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and $61,232 in restitution for two counts of tax evasion, two counts of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice. LANDAU was convicted in March 2009, following a seven-day bench trial in front of U.S. District Judge Marsha J. Pechman. At sentencing today, Judge Pechman said LANDAU's tax evasion had "torn the fabric of the public trust. When you cheat on your taxes, you basically cheat everyone."
LANDAU, a sole practitioner, significantly underreported his gross receipts on his income taxes in 2000, 2001, and 2002. When the IRS started investigating in 2003, LANDAU lied to an IRS agent and failed to disclose a bank account into which he had deposited more than $90,000 in income. According to testimony at trial, in 2000, LANDAU underreported his income by about $87,000 thus avoiding an additional $18,000 in taxes. The next year, 2001, he underreported his income by about $85,000 avoiding an additional $20,000 in income taxes. In 2002, LANDAU underreported his income by $92,000, thus avoiding an additional $22,000 in taxes. In January 2003, an IRS agent asked LANDAU to provide a variety of records related to his billing and bank records. LANDAU failed to report one bank account into which he had deposited gross receipts from his law practice. Further, LANDAU claimed that deposits into two of his accounts were funds from his new fiancée, when in fact, the deposits were fees from various clients.
Prosecutors argued that LANDAU began hiding his income in 1999 when he began an affair with a woman working across the hall from his office. LANDAU hid this income from his wife's divorce attorney, as well as from the IRS. At the same time, he spent lavishly on his girlfriend, taking trips to Paris, Venice, Alaska and the Mediterranean, purchasing a house with the fiancée, and buying expensive golf clubs.
In asking for a prison sentence, Assistant United States Attorney Mary Dimke told the court "deceit and manipulation are a way of life for Felix Landau." She noted that he waited until just four days before the sentencing hearing to finally file the amended tax returns, disclosing the income he had tried to hide for so many years.
The case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mary K. Dimke, and Andrew C. Friedman.

We have spoken of co-branded watch many times and we have featured quite a few, ranging from Rolexes signed by Tiffany's and Cuervo Y Sobrinos, to Breitlings signed by French dealers LIP. We have never, however, featured a co-branded IWC, and we have never featured a watch with a Cartier name on it that was actually made by Cartier.
This is what we have here. In the 1960s Cartier decided to spread the love (for strategic reasons, obviously) and sell a few out of house brands, IWC was one of them. Many of you are thinking, "Hey, aren't IWC and Cartier owned by the same company anyways?" and yes they are, today. But the Richemont group even form until 1988 and they didn't acquire IWC until the year 2000, so at the time this watch was sold, they were in no way connected.
This watch is an IWC with a bombe shaped case featuring an automatic movement from the 1960s. The name Cartier is hand stamped on the face and it is relatively large for its time. This watch looks to be in good if not slightly worn condition.
The seller here is asking for $3650, which if not for the Cartier co-branding we would say is way, way too high. However, we know how much people love the double-signed watch, and it is rare to see Cartier put their name on anything at all (that isn't theirs) so we have no problem with this price, although we'd perhaps recommend trying to barter it down to around $3000 if interested.
Click here for the details of this rare 1960s IWC retailed and signed by Cartier.
