Even during this desultory economic recovery, one industry thrives – the manufacture of synthetic hysteria. It is, however, inaccurate to accuse the Hysteric in Chief of crying "Wolf!" about spending cuts under the sequester. He is actually crying "Hamster!"
As in: Batten down the hatches – the sequester will cut $85 billion from this year's $3.6 trillion budget! Or: Head for the storm cellar – spending will be cut 2.3 percent! Or: Washington chainsaw massacre – we must scrape by on 97.7 percent of current spending! Or: Chaos is coming because the sequester will cut a sum $25 billion larger than was just shoveled out the door (supposedly, but not actually) for victims of storm Sandy! Or: Heaven forfend, the sequester will cut 47 percent as much as was spent on the AIG bailout! Or: Famine, pestilence and locusts will come when the sequester causes federal spending over 10 years to plummet from $46 trillion all the way down to $44.8 trillion! Or: Grass will grow in the streets of America's cities if the domestic agencies whose budgets have increased 17 percent under President Obama must endure a 5 percent cut!
The sequester has forced liberals to clarify their conviction that whatever the government's size is at any moment, it is the bare minimum necessary to forestall intolerable suffering. At his unintentionally hilarious hysteria session last Tuesday, Obama said: The sequester's "meat-cleaver approach" of "severe," "arbitrary" and "brutal" cuts will "eviscerate" education, energy and medical research spending. "And already, the threat of these cuts has forced the Navy to delay an aircraft carrier that was supposed to deploy to the Persian Gulf."
"Forced"? The Navy did indeed cite the sequester when delaying deployment of the Truman. In the high-stakes pressure campaign against Iran's nuclear weapons program, U.S. policy has been to have two carriers in nearby waters. Yet the Navy is saying it cannot find cuts to programs or deployments less essential than the Truman deployment. The Navy's participation in the political campaign to pressure Congress into unraveling the sequester is crude, obvious and shameful, and should earn the Navy's budget especially skeptical scrutiny by Congress.
The Defense Department's civilian employment has grown 17 percent since 2002. In 2012, DOD spending on civilian personnel was 21 percent higher than in 2002. And the Truman must stay in Norfolk? This is, strictly speaking, unbelievable.
The sequester's critics correctly say it is not the most intelligent way to prune government; priorities among programs should be set. But such critics are utopians if they are waiting for the arrival of intelligent government. The real choice today is between bigger or smaller unintelligent government.
Obama, who believes government spends money more constructively than do those who earn it, warns that the sequester's budgetary nicks, amounting to one half of 1 percent of gross domestic product, will derail the economy. A similar jeremiad was heard in 1943 when economist Paul Samuelson, whose Keynesian assumptions have trickled down to Obama, said postwar cuts in government would mean "the greatest period of unemployment and industrial dislocation which any economy has ever faced."

While the Amazon is clearly the largest river in the world by most measures, the majority of the geographic community today regards the Amazon as the second longest river, just slightly shorter than the Nile. However the discovery of a new tributary of the Amazon now leads some scientists to consider the Amazon as the longest river in the world.
The area covered by the water of the River and its tributaries more than triples over the course of a year. In an average dry season 110,000 square kilometres (42,000 sq mi) of land are water-covered, while in the wet season the flooded area of the Amazon Basin rises to 350,000 square kilometres (135,000 sq mi). At its widest point the Amazon River can be 11 kilometres (7 mi) wide during the dry season, but during the rainy season when the Amazon floods the surrounding plains it can be up to 45 kilometres (28 mi) wide.
The quantity of water released by the Amazon to the Atlantic Ocean is enormous: up to 300,000 m³ per second in the rainy season. The Amazon is responsible for a fifth of the total volume of fresh water entering the oceans worldwide. Offshore of the mouth of the Amazon, potable water can be drawn from the ocean while still out of sight of the coastline, and the salinity of the ocean is notably lower two hundred kilometres out to sea.
The Upper Amazon has a series of major river systems in Peru and Ecuador, some of which flow into the Marañón and others directly into the Amazon proper. Among others, these include the following rivers: Morona, Pastaza, Nucuray, Urituyacu, Chambira, Tigre, Nanay, Napo, Huallaga, and Ucayali. The headstreams of the Marañón—which for many years had been seen as the origin of the Amazon—flow from high above central Peru's Lake Lauricocha, from the glaciers in what is known as the Nevado de Yarupa. Rushing through waterfalls and gorges in an area of the high jungle called the pongos, the Marañón River flows about 1,600 kilometres (1,000 mi) from west-central to northeast Peru before it combines with the Ucayali River, just below the provincial town of Nauta, to form the Amazon River.
The most distant source of the Amazon was firmly established in 1996, 2001 and 2007 as a glacial stream on a snowcapped 5,597 m (18,363 ft) peak called Nevado Mismi in the Peruvian Andes, roughly 160 km (100 mi) west of Lake Titicaca and 700 km (430 mi) southeast of Lima. The waters from Nevado Mismi flow into the Quebradas Carhuasanta and Apacheta, which flow into the Río Apurímac which is a tributary of the Ucayali which later joins the Marañón to form the Amazon proper.
Formally, though, the union of the Ucayali and the Marañón form the Amazon River, which changes its name to Solimões on the triple frontier between Peru, Colombia and Brazil, and later changes its name back to the Amazon only after it meets the Rio Negro near Manaus. This confluence is known in Brazil as the "Meeting of Waters" (Portuguese: Encontro das Águas) as the dark almost black colored waters of the Rio Negro meet the sandy colored Rio Solimões, and for over 6 km these waters run side by side without mixing. Solimões is only known by Brazilians, because for Peruvians and Colombians the name is always Amazon River.
After the confluence of Río Apurímac and Ucayali, the river leaves Andean terrain and is instead surrounded by flood plain. From this point to the Marañón, some 1,600 km (990 mi), the forested banks are just out of water, and are inundated long before the river attains its maximum flood-line. The low river banks are interrupted by only a few hills, and the river enters the enormous Amazon Rainforest.
The river systems and flood plains in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela whose waters drain into the Solimões and its tributaries are called the "Upper Amazon".
The average depth of the river in the height of the rainy season is 40 m (131 ft) and the average width can be nearly 40 km (25 mi). It starts to rise in November, and increases in volume until June, then falls until the end of October. The rise of the Negro branch is not synchronous; the rainy season does not commence in its valley until February or March. By June it is full, and then it begins to fall with the Amazon. The Madeira rises and falls two months earlier than the Amazon.
The main river (which is between approximately one and six miles (10 km) wide) is navigable for large ocean steamers to Manaus, 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) upriver from the mouth. Smaller ocean vessels of 3,000 tons and 5.5 metres (18 ft) draft can reach as far as Iquitos, Peru, 3,600 kilometres (2,240 mi) from the sea. Smaller riverboats can reach 780 kilometres (485 mi) higher as far as Achual Point. Beyond that, small boats frequently ascend to the Pongo de Manseriche, just above Achual Point.
The breadth of the Amazon in some places is as much as 6 to 10 kilometres from one bank to the other. At some points, for long distances, the river divides into two main streams with inland and lateral channels, all connected by a complicated system of natural canals, cutting the low, flat igapo lands, which are never more than 5 metres (16 ft) above low river, into many islands.
From the village of Canaria at the great bend of the Amazon to the Negro, only very low land is found, resembling that at the mouth of the river. Vast areas of land in this region are submerged at high water, above which only the upper part of the trees of the sombre forests appear. Near the mouth of the Rio Negro to Serpa, nearly opposite the river Madeira, the banks of the Amazon are low, until approaching Manaus, they rise to become rolling hills. At Óbidos, a bluff 17 m (56 ft) above the river is backed by low hills. The lower Amazon seems to have once been a gulf of the Atlantic Ocean, the waters of which washed the cliffs near Óbidos.
Only about 10% of the water discharged by the Amazon enters the mighty stream downstream of Óbidos, very little of which is from the northern slope of the valley. The drainage area of the Amazon basin above Óbidos city is about 5 million square kilometres (2,000,000 sq mi), and, below, only about 1 million square kilometres (400,000 sq mi or around 20%), exclusive of the 1.4 million square kilometres (540,000 sq mi) of the Tocantins basin.
In the lower reaches of the river, the north bank consists of a series of steep, table-topped hills extending for about 240 kilometres (149 mi) from opposite the mouth of the Xingu as far as Monte Alegre. These hills are cut down to a kind of terrace which lies between them and the river.
Monte Alegre reaches an altitude of several hundred meters. On the south bank, above the Xingu, an almost-unbroken line of low bluffs bordering the flood-plain extends nearly to Santarem, in a series of gentle curves before they bend to the south-west, and, abutting upon the lower Tapajos, merge into the bluffs which form the terrace margin of the Tapajos river valley.
More than one third of all species in the world live in the Amazon Rainforest, a giant tropical forest and river basin with an area that stretches more than 5.4 million square kilometres (2,100,000 sq mi) and is among the richest tropical forests in the world. Amazon river has over 3,000 recognized species of fish and that number is still growing. Some estimates go as high as 5,000.
The waters of the Amazon support a diverse range of wildlife. Along with the Orinoco, the river is one of the main habitats of the Boto, also known as the Amazon River Dolphin. The largest species of river dolphin, it can grow to lengths of up to 2.6 metres (9 ft). The boto is the subject of a very famous legend in Brazil, about a dolphin that turns into a human.
Also present in large numbers are the notorious Piranha, carnivorous fish which congregate in large schools, and may attack livestock and even humans. Although many experts believe their reputation for ferocity is unwarranted, a school of piranha was apparently responsible for the deaths of up to 300 people when their boat capsized near Óbidos in 1981. However, only a few species attack humans, and many are solely fish-eaters, and do not school.
The bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) has been reported 4,000 km (2,220 miles) up the Amazon River at Iquitos in Peru. The arapaima, or pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) is a South American tropical freshwater fish. It is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world, reportedly with a maximum length in excess of 3 m (9.8 ft) and weight up to 200 kg (440 lb). Another amazonian freshwater fish is the arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) which is also a predator and very alike the arapaima, but reaches a length of maximum 120 centimetres.
The Anaconda snake is found in shallow waters in the Amazon basin. One of the world's largest species of snake, the Anaconda spends most of its time in the water, with just its nostrils above the surface. Anacondas have been known to occasionally attack fishermen .
The river supports thousands of species of fish, as well as crabs, algae, turtles, and chicken.
One of Gonzalo Pizarro's lieutenants, Francisco de Orellana, during his 1541 expedition, east of Quito into the South American interior in search of El Dorado and the Country of the Cinnamon was ordered to explore the Coca River and return when the river ended. When they arrived to the confluence to the Napo River, his men menaced to mutiny if they did not continue. On 26 December 1541, he accepted to be elected chief of the new expedition and to conquest new lands in name of the king. The 49 men began to build a bigger ship for riverine navigation. During their navigation on Napo River they were threatened constantly by the Omaguas. They reached Negro River on 3 June 1542 and finally arrived to the Amazon River, that was so named because they were attacked by fierce female warriors like the mythological Amazons. The icamiabas Indians dominated the area closed to the Amazon river, rich in gold. When Orellana went down the river in search of gold, descends Andes (in 1541), the river was still called Grande Rio, Mar Dulce or Rio da Canela (Cinnamon), because of the great trees of cinnamon located there. The belligerent victory of the icamiabas against the Spanish invaders was such that the fact was narrated to the king Carlos V, whom, inspired by the Greek amazons, baptized the river as Amazon.
In what is currently Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela a number of colonial and religious settlements were established along the banks of primary rivers and tributaries for the purpose of trade, slaving and evangelization among the putatively savage indigenous peoples of the vast rain forest.
The total population of the Brazilian portion of the Amazon basin in 1850 was perhaps 300,000, of whom about two-thirds comprised by Europeans and slaves, the slaves amounting to about 25,000. In Brazil, the principal commercial city, Para (now Belém), had from 10,000 to 12,000 inhabitants, including slaves. The town of Manáos, now Manaus, at the mouth of the Rio Negro, had from 1,000 to 1,500 population. All the remaining villages, as far up as Tabatinga, on the Brazilian frontier of Peru, were relatively small.
On 6 September 1850, the emperor, Peter II, sanctioned a law authorizing steam navigation on the Amazon, and gave the Baron of Mauá (Irineu Evangilista de Sousa) the task of putting it into effect. He organized the "Compania de Navigacao e Commercio do Amazonas" at Rio de Janeiro in 1852; and in the following year it commenced operations with three small steamers, the Monarch, the Marajó and Rio Negro.
At first, navigation was principally confined to the main river; and even in 1857 a modification of the government contract only obliged the company to a monthly service between Pará and Manaus, with steamers of 200 tons cargo capacity, a second line to make six round voyages a year between Manaus and Tabatinga, and a third, two trips a month between Para and Cameta. This was the first step in opening up the vast interior.
The success of the venture called attention to the opportunities for economic exploitation of the Amazon, and a second company soon opened commerce on the Madeira, Purus and Negro; a third established a line between Pará and Manaus; and a fourth found it profitable to navigate some of the smaller streams. In that same period, the Amazonas Company was increasing its fleet. Meanwhile, private individuals were building and running small steam craft of their own on the main river as well as on many of its tributaries.
On 31 July 1867 the government of Brazil, constantly pressed by the maritime powers and by the countries encircling the upper Amazon basin, especially Peru, decreed the opening of the Amazon to all flags; but limited this to certain defined points: Tabatinga—on the Amazon; Cameta—on the Tocantins; Santarem—on the Tapajos; Borba—on the Madeira and Manáos—on the Rio Negro. The Brazilian decree took effect on 7 September 1867.
Thanks in part to the mercantile development associated with steam boat navigation, coupled with the internationally driven demand for natural rubber (1880-1920), Manáos (now Manaus), Para (Brazil), and Iquitos, Peru became thriving, cosmopolitan centers of commerce and spectacular—albeit illusory—modern "urban growth". This was particularly the case for Iquitos during its late 19th and early 20th century Rubber Bonanza zenith when this dynamic boom-town was known abroad as the St. Louis of the Amazon.
The first direct foreign trade with Manáos was commenced around 1874. Local trade along the river was carried on by the English successors to the Amazonas Company—the Amazon Steam Navigation Company—as well as numerous small steamboats, belonging to companies and firms engaged in the rubber trade, navigating the Negro, Madeira, Purfis and many other tributaries, such as the Marañón to ports as distant as Nauta, Peru. The Amazon Steam Navigation Company had 38 vessels.
By the turn of the 20th century, the principal exports of the Amazon Basin were india-rubber, cacao, Brazil nuts and a few other products of minor importance, such as pelts and exotic forest produce (resins, barks, woven hammocks, prized bird feathers, live animals, etc.) and extracted goods (lumber, gold, etc.).
Wary of foreign exploitation of the nation's resources, Brazilian governments in the 1940s set out to develop the interior, away from the seaboard where foreigners owned large tracts of land. The original architect of this expansion was President Getúlio Vargas, the demand for rubber from the Allied forces in World War II providing funding for the drive.
The construction of the new capital Brasilia in the interior in 1960 also contributed to the opening up of the Amazon basin. A large scale colonization program saw families from north-eastern Brazil relocated to the forests, encouraged by promises of cheap land. Many settlements grew along the road from Brasilia to Belém, but rainforest soil proved difficult to cultivate.
Still, long-term development plans continued. Roads were cut through the forests, and in 1970, the work on Trans-Amazon highway network began. The network's three pioneering highways were completed within ten years, connecting all the major cities of the Brazilian Amazon interior.
A study by Brazilian scientists claimed that the Amazon is actually longer than the Nile. Using Nevado Mismi, which was labelled by the National Geographic Society as the Amazon's source back in 2001, these scientists have made new calculations of the Amazon's length. They now estimate that the Amazon is longer than the Nile, and Guido Gelli, director of science at the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), told the Brazilian TV network Globo in June 2007 that it could be considered as a fact that the Amazon was the longest river in the world. However, other geographers have had access to the same data since 2001, and a consensus has yet to emerge to support the claims of these Brazilian scientists.
Moreover, in 2008, the Peruvian institution of La Sociedad Geográfica de Lima conducted a joint research with the international scientific community to locate the source of the Amazon. After extensive research, they officially proved that the Andes in southern Peru were the source of the Amazon. Among the list of scientific institutions that agree with these findings are the Geographic Society of London, the Russian Academy of Science, and the Brazilian Institute of Space Research.
The Amazon has over 1,000 tributaries in total, 17 of which are over 1,000 kilometers. Some of the more notable:

I am a single man 62 with type 2 diabities and had bought Dr. Barnard's book for reversing diabetes. Was glad to find this site but not sure what to do about menus. I am going to try to adapt this 21 day vegan meal plan to recomendations from the book. I find ingrediants exspensive at times and really not sure about putting it togther. First of all, how close is this standard 21 day menu to what a diabetic should follow? The recipies sound forign to me only becuase I am not a cook or use to the ingediants but am willing to give it a try. Could use support though.
Many thanksRon
Please don't be overwhelmed by our menu. It is full of suggestions that are certainly not mandatory. While all of the recipes are appropriate for people with diabetes per Dr. Barnard's recommendations, find what works for you. A simple dish of rice, red lentils, and broccoli is more than outstanding and certainly less expensive. As long as what you are choosing is animal product-free, low in fat, and preferably less refined/low glycemic-index, you will see tremendous success!
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
It depends on what you're buying. Yes, to initially stock certain things (especially the spices) can be a little costly but they last a while. And, too, you can spread that out - pick one spice to add each week so that you can spread the cost out over time. As far as the next most expensive stuff, the veggies, look for sales on frozen versions of out of season stuff - for example, right now, it's cheaper for us to buy frozen kale than fresh; in the summer, it's usually the reverse. Things like beans, quinoa, and lentils are cheaper per serving than meat proteins (and way easier to store and prepare - no worries about things like undercooked chicken or cross contamination).
One of our favorites (on the regular dinner rotation) is quinoa chickpea pilaf with greens. Quinoa cooks faster than rice and is a protein-full grain. You can use well rinsed low sodium canned chickpeas or learn to soak and cook dry beans. Cook the quinoa, add the chickpeas, some onion and garlic, whatever seasoning you want, then add the chopped up greens (Kale, chard, spinach, whatever floats your boat). Let it heat through so the greens get just a little wilted. Serve. This one is actually so low glycemically that I have to plan for a snack later on in the evening (and even moreso if I get myself in gear and exercise after dinner!) It makes a bunch, so leftovers become lunch for the next couple of days.
Hi and welcome aboard! I've been following the plan for just a week now, although I spent about a week before that trying to source ingredients. I only cooked about half of what was on last week's plan - partly because of time, partly cost and - to be honest - I was so full on what I had cooked! I said elsewhere that it's like trying to learn to cook a whole cookbook full of recipes in 3 weeks....I've learnt more new recipes in the last week than I have in years. That said...after a week I am sleeping better, have lost a few pounds, my swollen stomach has deflated(!) and all the aches and pains in my arms and legs have gone. I feel more agile and alert. It's worth it. Stick with it, don't beat yourself up if things don't go according to plan and keep checking in here, where there is a lot of support. Good luck.
Thanks to all who have sent words of support. I have bought lots of veggies and use humas instead of butter on rye bread which is great. I seem to be getting better at just putting basic foods togther without getting too fancy. I found that canned baked beans is low on fat and used with the veggie dogs is fine. I think I may have already lost a pound or two and my gloocose readings are lower.
Tonights meal consisted of leaf salad with carrot shavings toped with low fat dressing and pasta with low fat tommato sause.
When shopping I do try to choose the lowest fat products but would like advice as to what amount not to go over.. I have tried to stay below 3 and most times its either 0 or 1
Many thanks again and as you can tell I am not bothered by bad spelling!
Sounds like you;re doing really well.

The kickstart is aiming for about 10% of calories from fat total per day, so if you have a little more fat in one meal and a little less in another, that's fine. For the 'average' 2000 calorie per day diet (most nutritional/ingredient labels are based on that BTW) that would be 200 calories from fat - which is about 22 grams of fat for the day (9 calories per gram for fats so 200/9 = about 22). Keep an eye not only on the numbers in the label (and those can be deceiving - it may be 3 gms of fat but what is the serving size? it's usually unreasonably low if they want to look 'healthy') but also what is in the product - for instance, most pasta sauces are high in salt and sugars. Better choice (and less expensive) is to buy a can of low/no sodium tomato product (diced or crushed depending on how chunky you like your pasta sauce), put that in a saucepan and add a pinch of salt (as much or as little as you choose) and a nice sprinkle of "Italian seasoning" (look for the kind that is just herbs without added salt or other stuff) and some garlic and onion if you like (you can even use garlic powder and onion powder - powders not 'salts'). Heat and serve - simple, quick, tasty, low fat, lower carb (since you aren't adding sugars) and CHEAP (canned tomato products often go on sale for $1 or less per can and you can stock up).
You also want to make sure there are no bad fats in the ingredient list, like saturated, trans or hydrogenated fats. Some examples; shortening, margerine, palm oil, coconut, cocoa butter, and all the wonderful milk fats of course.
For more information on how to read labels, watch this short video by Jeff Novick...
Should I Eat That?
He also has a full detailed article on his rules for label reading here...
Understanding Food Labels
(If you hate math and don't want to figure out the % of calories from fat, you can just make sure there are no more than 2 grams of fat per 100 calories.)
again many thanks for all this help! I am so glad to stumble upon first Dr. Banard's book and then this site! Living alone in a city with few contacts (due to job travel) I have been trying to go all of this mostly alone and certainly appreachate you all.
Another question: Is it normal to have, what I see, as rapid wieght loss in the begining? I have lost about 4 Lbs in 5 days. Now I am not compaling as I am about 40 lbs overwieght but loosing another lb will put me at a wieght I havent seen in about 5 years or so. My ultimatit goal is to get my wieght down below 200 lbs (started this program 5 days ago with a weight of 224) but wanted to ask if this rapid weight loss in the begining is normal.
Thanks again
In general, yes, some people do see a rapid weight loss right off and then it levels off to a slower more steady loss after a time. Those with a lot to lose and a big change going on (more water, more fiber, less highly processed high fat foods) will see more change than someone who is making maybe an incremental change, just dropping cheese from an already vegetarian lower fat way of eating.--DebR
I lost 4 lbs in my first week (last week). This is my first time doing this diet, but I know from experience of Weight Watchers and Slimming World in the past, that people often do lose 5-6 lbs in their first (maybe even 2 or 3) weeks. It never happened to me! No, not jealous at all - really pleased for you.
try not to think of this as a diet in the same catagory as WW and others...this is a way of feeding your body what it needs to be and stay healthy, Nutrition and all it incompasses like vitamines, minerals,micronutrients,fiber,protien are the focus. Have fun experimenting with new foods and recipes learned here that are heavy on nutrients and low on fat ...the weight will come off and you will be healthier,feel amazing and look more fantastic then on any other program.
I agree. I only made the comparison with slimming groups to make the point that when people change their way of eating, it is possible to lose a few pounds in the first week. However, I don't think of this as a diet at all. My health has improved so dramatically in just a week, that I fully intend this to be the first 3 weeks of a 'way of life'.
This is great - I'm just starting tomorrow. A lot of my questions about how to get started were answered here.
5 day update...still loosing weight at a bit of a slower rate but at 220 now so anything below that will put me at a place I havent seen in over 5 years.
I really am trying to make the mental switch to "wqy of life" and not "another diet" and think I am doing better with that.
Found I love pears cut up on lettice with cukes and low fat dressing. I still find many of the recipies difficult mainly to my lack of cooking interest and prep time.
My retention on learning seems to be slower these days so still trying to get a solid understandint about reading labels and whats good and not so until I get that down solid I am sticking to lots of veggies, fruit, vegan meats (although I really dont miss the absince of meat) rye breads and oatmeal.
Blood sugar has been spot on every morning the last 5 days so that is a big change.
I think im in for the long term! Many thanks
Working from plain ingredients and not prepared items makes this a lot easier - no label reading involved when lettuce is lettuce and black beans are black beans and rice is rice. Be sure you've read the label on the rye bread - most commercial breads hide a lot of stuff you wouldn't put in a loaf if you baked it yourself. I suppose that makes a handy criteria - "if I had the time/skill/energy to make this item at home, would the recipe look like this?" In some cases, YES, the product is made with the same things you'd use at home (like peanut butter that just says "Roasted peanuts" on the label). Other stuff, not so much (bread with high fructose corn syrup, dough conditioners, etc). Even if you don't know all the ins and outs, if it's something you might have in your kitchen, it's probably "okay" in general (though salt, oil, sugar might need a look-see for the range you want).
Excited that you're seeing positive changes already. I'm looking at this as an exciting adventure instead of a chore. Keep posting your impressions, questions, and what you've learned. Helpful for us following along. You're 5 days ahead of me!!!
In my work I travel a lot (gone from home almost 6 months a year) and I think it will be a real challange to take this "on the road". Twice in the past week I had to eat in resturants and both times was hard pressed to find anything I felt "safe" with to order. The choices were severaly limited with not much imagination. First place (Chinese) I ordered tofu and vegtable dish (only vegan thing on thier lunch menu) and as I was eating it I wondered what all they put in it! Second time at another place I had to look through the menu 3 times before I found vegetable fajita's smothered in mushrooms and again wondered, whats that sauce. This is going to be a real challange especially next month when I go on a 12 day work trip. Guess I will have to rreally hunt down some vegan eateries and stop wondering what the local tavern puts in its stirfry!
Finally broke the 220 wieght barrier today! Thanks again for coments and support.
One last thing, I found I over shopped when I started this and have fresh foods quickly spoiling. Not uncommon for a single person I supose but I see I will need to make more frequient trips to the store and buy smaller amoutns more often to keep it fresh.
Learn to ask questions, don't just wonder, and recognize that they are there to serve you - you can mix and match from stuff they have, you aren't limited to how they've combined things. I've asked places that have tortillas (for wraps) and a mushroom, onion, bell pepper saute that they serve with steaks to give me a tortilla and the mushroom side dish made a 'fajita'ish type option (many places do have veggie fajitas BTW - since the dairy is on the side to start with, you can either ignore it or ask them to 'hold' the cheese and sour cream). The hardest part is finding no added oil, but in the bigger picture, if I had to choose between something sauted in a little oil or having no vegan option, I'd choose the oil saute.
Italian restaurants - basic pasta (some places even have whole wheat pasta available if you ask) with marinara is vegan.Tex-Mex - bean burritos, veggie fajitas, and others. If there's a Plaza Azteca (chain Mexican food), they have a 'vegetarian' section on their menu - and it's easy to just ask for 'no cheese' on your order (and they make awesome guacamole to order tableside so you can pick just how much spice you want in it!)"American" - some places are now adding vegetarian type options to their menu, which are usually easy to 'veganize' (some already are but they aren't called that). For instance, Red Robin chain has two options - a veggie patty and a black bean patty - that can be subbed for any of their burger options. Ruby Tuesday has a "salad bar and sides" menu item, so you can get grilled zucchini, roasted spaghetti squash, and sugar snap peas plus the full salad bar (without having to actually 'change' the menu). They also do an awesome spaghetti squash marinara entree. The upside of learning chains is that they are basically the same everywhere so you don't have to 're-learn' the menu from town to town - if you know that in Boston you had a veggie entree at Restaurant X, and you go to the Restaurant X branch in Seattle, it's going to be virtually identical as far as ingredients.And, don't overlook the local diners - they can often put something together for you, from what they've got on the menu. If nothing else, you can usually get a bowl of oatmeal any time of day or night at most diners.--DebR
Day 7 - gloucose level took a dip this morning but from about a 6.5 to a 5.9 (havent been in the 5 range in quite some time) I did cut out my evening metforman about a week ago as that seems to be not needed now.
Weight steady at 219 and have started some excersie to aid in that (not much for exersize but like walking)
Looking for other recomendations for a prepacked spread as I find that the hummas I am using (which i picked out of the selection based on lowest fat) is still about the same as a light margerine. Discovering taste likes and dislikes which should make shopping easier.
I rad all the posts on here and find them very very helpful. I recently shared all this with two freinds and my diabities Dr. and all were very supportive (although all said they would have trouble with a vegan diet).
Still determined to be in for the long run (even if I havent run since I was 9)
Many thanks

Neal Walden, who operated a photography studio in Downtown Evansville in the early 20th century, captured this view of East Branch Library, probably shortly after it opened in Bayard Park. Land for the park had been donated to the city in 1901, which spurred development of the neighborhood in Evansville's expanding "East End." Built in 1912 with $25,000 provided by industrialist Andrew Carnegie, the library was dedicated on Jan. 1, 1913, along with a twin library on West Franklin Street.

I saw a recent comment on the news section where someone stated (in a negative and smarky way) that TNA is smaller than even ECW was under Paul Heyman.
I never do these blogs but felt compelled to do a quick one and list some comparisons to try and educate some of the newer Wrestling fans who (by the fault of WWE's monopoly and twisting of history) don't know any better.

Hey everyone. I am back with another opinion of mine. A few weeks ago, I posted on how I would book WWE Night of Champions 2013. This time however, I would like to share with you my predictions on what will happen at Night of Champions this weekend. Some of the matches I booked actually got booked in real life. E.g. Orton vs. Bryan. Other matches were half right and half wrong. E.g. CM Punk vs. Curtis
I'm coming home, coming home. It is great to be back guys and now that I am back, it is time to make some bold predictions. Back at Payback, I got 3/10 so I dropped a little but until the WWE becomes bold (which they won't), I will not get many points. Before I start, the United States Championship match is on: Ambrose vs Ziggler is happening so we got that! Here we go
10. Primetime Players
Another month and another WWE PPV comes. The card looks okay, but only two feuds have gotten significant time on Monday nights. Unlike other mid card matches that do get time. With a tag title match that got thrown together last minute and a US Title match that I totally forgot was here, this seems like it might be one of the worst PPV's of 2013 so far. Anyway, let's get right to the predictions.
It has been a slow week in the blogging world on this site so I thought I would do a predictions blog. Truthfully, I am not overly confident on these predictions which makes me more interested than usual for this PPV. I can really see almost every match on the card going either way. Regardless, here is what I am guessing will happen...
1. Bryan vs. Orton - Regardless of how this match
Overall Score: 4
Overview: Originally I wasn't going to post this blog because Raw was just bad, but I do it every week so what the hell. This week was just bland and forgettable. No feuds got advanced except for Bryan-Orton and it did nothing to sell me on Night of Champions. With this being the first Raw to go head to head against Monday Night Football, it isn't a surprise
2 Hall of Famers who are still active wrestlers who are not getting any younger. All the teases Kurt & especially Sting has been making about possibly wanting to have their final matches in WWE. I was thinking, who should they have their final matches with in both TNA & WWE. Will they put over talent or should they? Should they win their final matches? Should they put over younger talent?

Total Divas has proven to be a semi-successful "reality" program that is actually targeting the fanbase of celebrity network E!. They have extended the first season to 14 total episodes, but whether E! decides to renew the show for a second season for next year is still up in the air. If so, here is some changes to the cast that WWE & E! should consider:

Hi all, I am a 20+ year avid fan of professional wrestling and a reader of this website for a couple of years now. This is my first blog so bear with me as I am not as knowledgeable as most. In fact, I love reading posts and comments and learning new facts about professional wrestling throughout history. I check youtube videos and have read books of some great moments that I never had a chance to
Overall Score: 5.5
This weeks Raw wasn't bad, but it was no means great. I'd say maybe just average. The only storyline that got any attention was the new corporation. Heyman was barely shown on TV and Punk just gave a generic 'I'm pissed off' speech. The World Title feud wasn't properly handled this week, and no mid card titles got attention. With that said, let's

Jealous of my tan? I know you are. I love summer skirts, so this week I have some skirt tutorial posts for you. I love the look of this skirt with the jersey band at the top. So this is my first attempt at imitating it. After making this one I think I would like it better in a heavier jersey or a knit fabric though.

Sometimes fellow techs that makes you want to smash your keyboard. (all names have been changed to protect the incompetent).
I used to work in a Service-Desk/Triage capacity (lovingly dubbed Tier 1.9) where we would monitor, ticket, troubleshoot, and escalate as needed (we were expected to have a 90% self-solution return).
One thing that we never were allowed to touch was network issues. Our area telcom team had lost their extremely competent team lead some 18 months earlier and their team had quickly degraded to people who didn't really seem to care about their job. They were also secure in the fact that the telcom system had degraded enough to be sufficiently obfuscated enough where it would take considerable resources to figure it out by a competent replacement. This made them act like they were untouchable. As such, I had learned fast to start recording my phone calls to them (thank you Google Voice!) so they couldn't pin anything on us.
Anyway, one day around 6PM the network dropped out. As such, I called the Telcom On-Call.
Me Leaving Voicemail: Hi, this is Craysh from Tier 1.9. It looks like the network is having issues again. Internet, communicator, and email are all unresponsive. All three webfarms are unavailable. Trace route to the gateway has failed. Ticket is unavailable as the ticketing system is inaccessable due to the issue. Please call back to confirm your taking ownership of the incident.
15 minutes go by and SOP dictates that I call back before escalating to their manager. The on-call answers.
Tech: On-Call Phone, this is Steve
Me: Hi Steve, have you gotten my voicemail? We're having issues with the network.
Tech: No, I haven't. Tell me what's wrong.
Me: Repeats what I said above.
Tech: Ok. Wait 20 minutes and try again. Click
I had assumed that by 'Wait 20 minutes' he meant that he was taking a look at it and that it should be back up in 20 minutes. 20 minutes go by and the network is still having issues (The network has now been down for the last 40 minutes or so)
I call the On-Call phone again. No answer.
Me Leaving Voicemail: Hi, this is Craysh again. The issue is still ongoing. Please call me back as soon as possible.
15 Minutes go by so it's time to call again. No answer. Time to call the acting supervisor.
Supervisor: This is Aaron
Me: Hi Aaron, this is Craysh from Tier 1.9. We are having issues with the network and the On-Call has stopped answering their phone.
Supervisor: Stopped? You mean they initially answered?
Me: Yes, he said to wait 20 minutes.
Supervisor: OK, he's probably working on it. Call me back in an hour if the issue persists. click
At this point I'm calling my supervisor and apprising him of the situation.
For the next hour, I continue to call the On-Call every 15 minutes (as is procedure). No answer.
I call the supervisor again
Supervisor: This is Aaron
Me: Hi Aaron, this is Craysh from Tier 1.9 again. We are still having issues with the network and the On-Call still has not answered his phone.
Supervisor: OK, I'll take a look at it.
Turns out that Telcom had pushed a policy to the Junipers that had scrubbed the white lists (completely blocking all access to all ports).
All in all it took 5 hours to get everything back up and running. I documented the ticket extremely thoroughly once the system was available again.
The next day came the fall-out. Telcom was claiming that I had never paged them, and they said that a customer ended calling the supervisor to find out what was going on. They even showed zero calls on their cellphone (they had removed the calls and messages).
As such, we had a meeting to 'discuss Tier 1.9's failure to report a severe incident'.
I walked into the room filled with extremely ****ed off big wigs, including Aaron and and Steve. They demanded why I hadn't contacted the on-call, and I stated that I had and that they had lead me to believe that they had been working on the issue.
Nobody believed me because "The On-Call phone didn't have any messages or call logs from Tier 1.9" Their excuse for having a completely empty call log was that they cleared it daily so they could keep track of the calls made on the phone.
I calmly walked to the overhead projector, logged into Google Voice, and played each consecutive voicemail/conversation.
They no longer work here, and I've had three promotions since.

Opaque Tights
Also found in:
♠ Tights ♠ Foot Traffic ♠ Larger Feet ♠ Small Feet ♠ Tube Style ♠ Plus Sized ♠ Solid ♠ Opaque ♠ Cosplay
Solid and thick nylon tights in a range of colors.
Label says: One size 5'-5'8" or 100 - 160 lbs.
We found that all colors except the Beige and the French Blue, fit 28 inch thighs and 48 inch hips on a 31 inch inseam, though the waistband did want to creep down a little (they stop at the hips, but do not seem to want to say at the waist).
The French Blue, which has only90% nylon (see Fiber Content below) maxed out on 22 thighs and at 31 inches on the waist.
The Beige, though labelled microfiber, fit more like the 90% nylon, maxing out on 22 thighs and at 31 inches on the waist.
Foot Traffic calls these "semi opaque", which technically means 30-40 denier, but we think these are a bit more opaque than that. They hide leg hair and freckles, but darker tattoos may show, particularly on more stretched areas, like the thighs.
Tube style foot, should fit most feet. Reinforced band at the upper thigh.
Additional Info: *What we call "Beige" the packaging names as "Natural", but it's the same shade!
**The Orange is a vibrant, crayon color and is also too amazing to properly show on a computer screen.
Made in Taiwan, Foot Traffic has worked with the same mill for over 20 years and assures us they meet all benchmarks of positive and conscientious standards.The photo for the French blue variety was kindly provided by Joyce Churchia.
Fiber Content: 80% microfiber nylon, 20% spandex
The French Blue are 90% nylon, 10% spandex. They have less stretch, see Sizing Tips above.
Label: Foot Traffic
Does the toe seam on these run across the tip of the toes, or over the top of the toe area?
Does the upper thigh have the control top or is it solid up to the waistband?
Are these tights opaque enough in the beige color (Mocha) to cover semi-fine brunette leg hair? Thanks!
Looking for tights to go under a unitard without any sort of reinforcement lines showing for a higher cut look and no pants. Think 80's aerobics instructor. Would these work?
How do the "one size" compare to Tabbisocks "plus size" opaques? I see the material mix is different, but would the Foot Traffic 90/10 mix provide more or less stretch? Clue to my measurements, the Tabbisocks plus size fits me perfectly. Thx in advance!
I can't find a sizing chart anywhere on your site for the opaque tights. Could you please send one to me so I can order or let me know where it's located on your site. Thank you, Janet Leichtweis
My issue with tights is usually that the waistband digs in - since I only have a 27" inseam, tights ride up instead of down. How wide is the waistband on these?
If I were to layer knee-high socks over these tights, would they stay up?
I just got the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs and loved them so much that I immediately had to tell you about it. I, of course, love all the socks I order from you, but these are my favorite!! They are not only long enough for my mutant legs, they are also the softest, most lovely thigh highs I have ever worn! I love them so hard.
