XNow officials are asking how she died, after identifying a body found in Ozark as that of a missing Brundidge woman.
The remains of 29-year-old Angela Spellman were found off Dowling Avenue last Thursday while a man was cutting grass.
A state crime lab used dental records to positively identity her.
Spellman was last seen alive April 27, in the same area where her body was found by a man cutting grass.
The state Department of Forensic Science is still trying to determine how Spellman died.
Police are waiting on toxicology test results.
They hope to know more sometime next week.

You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
Please read my profile before contacting me. I am in search of a successful, fun loving, sophisticated man.
I am an ambitious female who is confident in my aspirations as well as my ability to complete them. I am always positive and looking to make the most out of life. Currently, I own my own business which focuses on alternative asset investments and real estate am looking to date a gentleman who is accomplished and knows where he wants to go in life. I do not socialize with dishonest people. I value integrity above all.. I respect people who are consistent in their attitudes and honest business dealings. You have to be a straightforward person that values truthfulness of origins, attributions, commitments, sincerity, devotion, and intentions. Your personality is what I am interested in. I am looking to make a meaningful connection.
As I grow older I have experienced many life altering occurrences that directly impact the decisions I make, the person who I currently am, and the life I aspire for my future. I now know what is important for me to focus on in my life. My main goal is to live life to the fullest and continue my pursuit of happiness. I don't sweat the small stuff nor do I sit back waiting for things to happen for me. Living a balanced life is crucial to living a full life.
Living in New York is quite an experience in itself. I have met all walks of life here, good and bad. In this digital age, many people in our society do not know or practice the proper etiquette. Call me old fashion but I believe that every human deserves a certain level of respect. Integrity today is always lacking with in our society. Do not bother over exaggerating about who you are. Don't bother saying what you think I want to hear. BS is very Unattractive and easily detected. Once a lie is uncovered, it is hard for me to take you seriously. I like a person who is comfortable with themselves and knows what they want out of life and how they are going to achieve it!
Living in New York has shown me all that I can have. My life is not measured in the material items I have but rather the amount of positive memories I have and the amount loved ones by my side. I believe in Karma. If you do good on others, the universe will protect you. I get my satisfaction from giving to those in need. I believe people who figure this out sooner rather than later are the ones who are truly rich.
I am a person who lives life. I don't let life just happen to me. It intrigues me to observe others behavior and the way that they portray their lives to be. I dislike anyone who feels that they are entitled to anything in this world. I come from a long line of "go-getters" who recognize if I want something in my life, I am the only one who can truly make it happen. I get satisfaction knowing that I was the one who took the initiative to create all the positive achievements in my life It is easy to blame others for your faults rather than take responsibility for the ones self.

Department of Veterans Affairs Attempts to Discourage PTSD Cases
It's a suspicion of many disability claimants, and even individuals who work inside the social security disability system, that the social security administration unfairly denies individuals who apply for disability, even to the extent of looking for ways to overturn decisions (made by disability examiners) that started out as approvals.
This type of thing occurs when cases are reviewed by quality control units after a case has been closed by a disability examiner. Strangely enough (I say this facetiously), the great majority of decisions that are reversed by "quality control units" are approvals. Not very often do you see a case that was denied by an examiner reversed and turned into an approval.
Why does this happen? We can only speculate. But, obviously, if you pay out on fewer claims you (the federal government) save more money.
Now, this week ,it has come to light that individuals working within the Department of Veterans Affairs seem to have a similar attitude of discouragement. At a veterans medical facility in Texas, staff members were told to find ways to avoid diagnosing PTSD, or post traumatic stress disorder.
This is really incredible news, but, sadly, not unexpected. The current administration has no problem with sending troops to war. But when it comes to properly taking care of those who have been injured and severely affected by it (depression, PTSD, amputations, traumatic brain injury due to extreme concussive force explosions), they surely come up short.

Blake's LotaburgerA New Mexico tradition since 1952! For an award-winning (for both Best Burger and Best French Fries), quick burger or chili dog, fresh fries and fountain favorites that hit the spot for just a pocketful of change, it's got to be Blake's. Countless counters are scattered throughout the city, and each one is a model of efficiency and cleanliness. Why look any further? They're easy to spot from afar—just keep an eye out for the giant Asian Uncle Sam sign. This one has a drive through, even. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Not only that, the shop makes teeny, tiny cupcakes—dense, two-bite buttons of cake, so you can comfortably troll through 30 flavor concepts like "Velvet Elvis," red-velvet cake with cream cheese icing; or the minty, dark-chocolate grasshopper, mounded with fluffy French buttercream. This is one instance where you can have your cake and eat it, too. Regular-sized cupcakes also available. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Plus, they serve New York deli stuff like bagels with lox and cream cheese, and a club with dill Havarti on rye bread, as well as a selection of German favorites.

Read more: Mina's Dish: A first taste of Cool Water Fusion Restaurant (8/12/2010)
CoolWater Fusion RestaurantProprietor/Chef Glenn Williams, formerly of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center's Pueblo Harvest Café and Bakery, uses sustainable planning from the tablecloths (no throwaway paper) to the local produce. Shopping daily keeps waste to a minimum and ingredients are fresh. The menu's big flavors are expressed through braises, sauces, salsas and garnishes from the world over. Don't be surprised to find a roasted corn salsa sharing the plate with beurre blanc or a boneless Idaho rainbow trout stuffed with crab and wrapped in bacon. But be warned: While the menu may sound familiar, the chef plays fast and loose with his interpretation of some dishes such as the Osso buco made with turkey and garnished with chimichurri. The menu is a work in progress as new ingredients and new ideas emerge. Recent decor incorporates an artistic interpretation of a running stream on the floor where there used to be a row of booths, a spacious arrangement that allows for larger parties at table seating.

Eloy's Mexican RestaurantHave you ever felt truly complete? If not, skip the bad date on Friday night and go eat at Eloy's, because it has complete dinners for about $10. You get an entrée, guacamole salad, chips and salsa, sopaipillas, dessert, and tea or coffee, and the family vibe is a welcome change from fakey-sweet chain service. The red chile is hot, the green is hotter and the sweet natilla custard will cool you down quicker than an Otter Pop on the sidewalk. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Kim Long Asian CuisineAsian cuisine, in this case, means Vietnamese with a strong Chinese influence. They do it well, and the food here is tasty and original. Serious connoisseurs of Vietnamese pho will find their interest held over multiple visits to Kim Long. The Kim Long rice noodle, for instance, served with dried satay chilli is a delicious variation in which raw tomatoes and cucumber slices float in the red chile broth among the beef slices.

Krung ThaiFrog legs, frog legs tra la la. This place has got 'em sautéed with sweet basil and peppers and deep-fried with garlic. The refurbished and redecorated Krung Thai is a magical wonderland of bright colors and exotic spices, and the best coconut lemongrass soup this side of East Asia. Savor the green curry, the spicy tilapia and the garlic quail, but make a pit stop at the dessert menu, because a scoop or two of purple taro ice cream is worth the trip.

Full review: At your service (9/20/2007)
Oak Tree CaféThis place has such a warm atmosphere and excellent customer service you'll prefer it to dining with your own family. Owner Rob Carson is as personable a guy as you'll ever meet, and his sandwiches aren't too shabby, either. Fresh bread, slow-roasted beef with au jus and Boar's Head meats and cheeses give this sammich shop a rep for filling its customers up. The staff is an impeccably mannered bunch.

Eminem Won't Allow Cursing in His Home
Eminem may curse like crazy in his rap songs, but at home he sings a completely different tune.
"Profanity around my house? No," he tells Anderson Cooper in a 60 Minutes interview, airing Sunday. "I'm not saying there's not glimpses of me in the music, [that] there's not truth in ... things that I say. But this is music, this is my art..."
When he's at home, the 38-year-old father-of-four (real name: Marshall Mathers) says: "I'm a parent. I have daughters. I mean, how would I really sound, as a person ... walking around my house [saying], 'Bitch, pick this up,' you know what I mean? ... I don't cuss."
PHOTOS: Craziest moments at the 2010 VMAs
Asked if he feels a sense of responsibility when his young fans use the cuss words he spews his songs, the rapper says, "I feel like it's your job to parent them. If you're the parent, be a parent."
PHOTOS: Hollywood's most devoted dads
He also takes Cooper through the rapping process he uses to rhyme words.
His biggest beef?
"People say that the word orange doesn't rhyme with anything and that kind of pisses me off," he says. "I can think of a lot of things that rhyme with orange."

I'm trying to get to the next installment of my Pulitzer Prize-deserving series on liberal lies about national health care, but apparently liberals have decided to torture us by neurotically fixating on one lie.
After President Barack Obama gave a speech to a joint session of Congress last week passionately defending his national health care plan, the Democrats were agog at the brilliance of the speech. Nancy Pelosi was so thrilled, her expression almost changed.
But as Obama ticked off one demonstrably false claim after another -- eliciting 37 standing ovations from the Democrats in the audience -- America's greatest living statesman, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., yelled out, "You lie!" in response to Obama's claim that the bill will not cover illegal aliens.
There are a number of theories about why America's greatest living statesman shouted "You lie!" at that juncture, but mine is that Wilson said it because Obama told a big, fat stinking lie.
Every single American knows it's a lie. But liberals take pleasure in repeating it -- and then condescendingly accusing anyone who doesn't accept their lie of being a toothless, illiterate racist.
Our politicians, media and courts have done everything they can to encourage illegal immigration, including obstinately refusing to enforce the border. While illegals streaming across the border generally aren't prosecuted, U.S. border patrol agents who naively try to guard the border often are.
Wise (and pregnant) Latinas dash across the border just in time to give birth at American hospitals -- medical services paid for by U.S. taxpayers -- gaining instant citizenship for their children, thereby entitling them to the entire Chinese menu of American welfare programs.
In 2004, 42.6 percent of all babies born at taxpayer expense in California were born to illegal aliens, according to a state report on Medi-Cal-funded deliveries.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Packers were supposed to get outside linebacker Clay Matthews and safety Charles Woodson back this week, but theyll have to settle for the return of just one of their star defensive players. Woodson, who has missed the past six games with a broken collarbone, has been ruled out for Sundays game against the Chicago Bears. "Very frustrating day," coach Mike McCarthy said of Woodson. "Charles was ready to play, he's ready to go. But the doctors are still, based on the information over the last two days, we're going to hold him out of the game. This is in the best interest of Charles. I know it's disappointing, frustrating for him. He's continuing to rehab. That's basically where he was all day today. "He will be out this week." Woodsons injury was supposed to sideline him for six weeks, but including the Packers bye, Sunday will mark eight weeks since he was hurt Oct. 21 in St. Louis. "We're very close," McCarthy said of Woodsons status. "It's the judgement of ou...

I just googled "Banana Cake" and there were nearly 22,000,000 results. I know everyone has their banana cake/bread recipe which is the best and I've already blogged twice about the humble banana cake with my Chocolate Banana Cake and the Iced Banana & Walnut Loaf. But remember the health kick I mentioned the other day? Well, I still love to bake and eat cake but I really wanted to create something as simple as a banana cake but without much fat.
I found a recipe on Calorie King which boasted only 197 calories per slice and I thought, that'll do, even though it used a low calorie margarine, I decided to use butter instead. So, I melted the butter in the microwave, mixed the cake and tried it and it was okay, except ever so slightly rubbery. It wasn't until the next day that I went to reheat something in the microwave and I saw the butter! So, this banana cake has NO fat in it whatsoever and it tasted fine. According to my calculations, the number of calories per slice is now about 130. Bonus!
This is a great cake to wrap individually and pop in the freezer and if I'm out and about, I just grab a slice from the freezer on the way out so I won't be tempted to buy a nice piece of cake with coffee. This recipe would probably work well as a muffin and I might be tempted to add a tablespoon of chopped walnuts or something for an extra bit of protein.
No Fat Banana Cake
(based on Quick Banana Cake recipe on www.calorieking.com.au)
- 1 1/2 cup self-raising flour, sifted
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup lowfat milk
- 2 eggs
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Beat eggs and add sugar, mashed banana, milk and self raising flour. DO NOT OVERMIX.
- Pour mixture into a 10cm x 20cm loaf tin that has been sprayed with oil spray. Bake in a moderate oven (180°C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Cool in tin for 5 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To be cut in 12 slices. Suitable to freeze.

Of all the things I have photographed, animals have held my heart, especially the ones at the zoo. My photographic dream is an African safari with Nikon. Capturing these beautiful creatures in the wild! But until then I am happy that I can enjoy the family of animals at the Potter Park Zoo in Lansing, MI. I had the pleasure of making a visit to the zoo for the first time this week and it was great. Jake Pechtel was in charge of taking us through the gate and telling us a little about the zoo. Jake is a real nice guy, a little quiet but you could tell he was excited to have the editor of Serendipity Mommy there to do a review of the zoo. He gave us maps and let us know where to find him and set us free
There were kids there doing school trips and I wanted to avoid them (noise) so we headed for the camels and Llamas first. The Camels were being lazy but they were HUGE. Then the Llamas. this was interesting. My son was having a stare down with one of them. It was hilarious!
As we continued on we came to the Wings Down Under birds exhibit. You actually walk into a birdcage the size of a house and the birds fly all around you! I was scared at the thought of getting pooped on but I didn't and I got mesmerized by the birds!
We made our way around the zoo very easily using the signs and the maps. We could clearly see where the bathrooms were which is good when you have kids! I know my family has its favorite animals and we got to see them all at Potter Park Zoo!
I loved the Meerkats!
Greg Loves the Wolves
Colton loves Penguins!
Alyssa loved the camel, she had a ride! (Only $4 per person)
And Aiden? Well he didn't have a favorite but we'll pretend it was the baby Longhorn Sheep!
The mammals weren't putting on their best show, the tiger and male lion were napping by the time we got to them. I think a lot of them had just ate and were having a nap, like the Red Panda. We still got to see a ton of animals. We didn't get to see the reptiles and amphibians, we needed to get going as Aiden had completely skipped his nap and he hadn't been feeling good prior to that anyway. I think if you are a regular visitor that isn't taking 50 pictures of every animal that you can get through this zoo in as little as 3 hours. We didn't see everything in the 3 hours we were there but I was taking video and photos. I would like to spend a lot longer at the zoo and will probably get a sitter for Aiden since he was too young to really appreciate the zoo. He was stroller bound since he would have been running around so he didn't see all that much but we got him out of the stroller a few times to see the neat stuff.
If I could go again I would bring the tripod and be there first thing in the morning with just me and Greg so we could really get a proper photo and video day from all the animals. I would aim for the least busy day too so I am not holding anyone up with my photos. There weren't a lot of people at the zoo this day but still I'd hate to mess up anyones visit with being in the way.
The staff were all very nice and they were working hard keeping the zoo clean. And it was very clean. There is an area almost hidden that is called the Memorial Baby Garden and it was absolutely beautiful. It had a gorgeous gazebo looking over the water and it was an extremely peaceful spot. If you go to the zoo you have to go visit this section. Just beautiful. I took a moment to get a picture of my family there..
Potter Park zoo is open all year round! Its located at 1301 S. Pennysylvania in Lansing, right off I-496 , Exit #7. You can't miss the sign, its located right directly after the overpass, on the left. Email me if you need more info
It costs $4 for non county residents to park and $2 for Ingham County residents. Admissions are
|Resident Senior
|Non-Resident Senior

You can get more information about Potter Park Zoo by visiting their awesome website, PotterParkZoo.org and by going to their Facebook page!

Thank You Potter Park Zoo for having my family to your zoo!

BRANDON — Brandon has a budget. Voters went back to the polls for a fourth time on Tuesday and the ayes had it, 516-399.
The latest version of the municipal budget asked voters to approve a $3,147,634 spending plan, with $2,331,134 to be raised by property taxes. That amount represents a $84,084, or 3.7 percent, increase in spending over the current budget. Now that it's approved, the tax rate will increase to 71.27 cents per $100 of property value, an increase of 2.49 cents over the current rate of 68.78 cents.
BRANDON — The town of Brandon will begin fiscal year 2014 without a budget.
The proposed $3,201,842 municipal budget (with $2,385,642 to be raised by taxes) was voted down on Tuesday by fewer than 50 votes, 371-326, sending the selectboard back to the budget workshop table again.
The 697 total votes amount to a roughly 25 percent voter turnout.
Editor's note: This is the first in a series of articles reprinted from The Brandon Reporter that examine the complex personal, medical and political landscape of chronic Lyme and other tick-borne diseases that have brought so many lives to a standstill waiting for consensus.
BRANDON — A school could get used to this: Otter Valley Union High School pitcher Brett Patterson threw a one-hitter in the No. 2 Otters' 6-0 win over visiting No. 7 Lake Region in a Division II quarterfinals on Thursday.
A model of efficiency, Patterson threw just 67 pitches, struck out nine and walked none in just an hour and 20 minutes to send Lake Region packing. And the senior hurler and co-ace Justin Owen have been consistently on their pitching all season, helping the Otters to a 17-1 record.

BRANDON — Two Canadians who moved to Vermont in September 2001 became U.S. citizens last week at the Neshobe School in Brandon.
Bryan Holland, 38, from Newfoundland, began his volunteer rescue career in Essex on Sept. 11, 2001. Arabella Finlayson, 41, moved to Burlington from Halifax, Nova Scotia, a few weeks after the attacks on the World Trade Center.
"It definitely made some of my relatives nervous," she said. " But I really wanted to be here."
BRANDON/SUDBURY — The Vermont Health Department will host its second of three Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEE) research study clinics on Tuesday, May 14, noon to 7 p.m. at the Sudbury Town Hall.
At the first clinic, held at the Brandon Senior Center on April 23, more than 220 volunteers donated blood samples that will be tested for antibodies to EEE.
BRANDON — The saying "You've can't please all of the people all of the time" never had more meaning then it does in Brandon right now.
BRANDON — There's been a major change in management in the town of Brandon.
After weeks of searching, the selectboard here agreed to accept the resignation of Richard Baker from the board and hire him as interim town manager.
Baker and Brandon resident Seth Hopkins were both interviewed for the job in executive session during a special selectboard meeting on April 19 before the board made its decision. Board Chair Devon Fuller said Baker was eminently qualified.
BRANDON/WHITING/SUDBURY — The Vermont Department of Health late this month and next will hold three clinics locally to collect human blood samples that will be tested in a new study of Eastern equine encephalitis, or EEE.
RUTLAND — Just listening to these working parents pursuing college degrees is exhausting.
Ava Pehm, 42, of Pittsford is a single mother to two kids, ages 10 and 13. She is pursuing a degree in administrative management from the Community College of Vermont in Rutland and works part-time.
Greg Lambert, 36, of Rutland is a single father to a seven-year-old boy and is a recent cancer survivor pursuing a degree in environmental science at CCV.
Niki Twohig of Rutland has two-year-old twin boys, and splits her time between school and work.

Letter: Suggested reading
Bill Thweatt, Abilene
Lynn Blair's letter was the most remarkable that I have ever read! Her basic thesis was that women who hate children are the final authority on who has the right to live. She takes a number of important choice-makers out of the equation.
The first and most important choice maker is God, Himself, creating man in His own image and commanding him to populate the earth. There are many in that population who do not appear to be assets. Jesus said of Judas that it would have been better for him to never have been born, and yet Jesus chose him as one of the twelve and did not deny him a chance to be born.
Another important decision-maker is that sterile couple who search the earth for any kind of child to adopt — healthy or special needs.
Finally, let's not fail to give a voice to those whose only choice is a silent scream as they face those cruel instruments of murder in the abortion clinic. They put up a valiant battle for their life, but they face a foe who has never lost a battle to a helpless infant.
I'm thankful that my parents, my wife and I, all our children, and grandchildren were not anti-children and counted it a privilege to pay dearly for their precious children's needs. I'm glad that none of my teachers were anti-children.
Instead of swallowing the philosophy of David Benatar, I suggest reading "Mere Christianity" by former atheist C.S. Lewis. I especially recommend the Bible, inspired by God, Himself. He is very existent and not far from any of us. Pray, "God, if you really exist, reveal Yourself to me." Sincere atheists have prayed this prayer and have become the most faithful believers and child advocates.

Phoenix man pleads not guilty in death of son left in hot car
PHOENIX — A Phoenix man has pleaded not guilty to murder and abuse charges
stemming from the September death of his 1-year-old son. The boy had been left
in a hot car while the father went to work.
A Maricopa County Superior Court spokeswoman said Brokale Lytte Marques entered
his plea Wednesday.
Marques was arrested after his son was found at a Scottsdale mall parking lot
in a lethargic state.
Authorities said Marques told investigators he left the baby in a car seat
because he was unable to find a sitter.
Marques also told investigators he initially left the vehicle running and the
air conditioning on, but later turned it off.
The boy died later at a hospital.

A Skin/Cellulite Rant + My New Food Love
I was bored in line at the grocery store yesterday and looked through a celeb magazine showing photos of skin/cellulite on stars (women, OF COURSE. Why are men always spared those photos?). The magazine, as usual, branded these loose skin and cellulite issues as "problems" – horrible and wretched and "how can they stand to live with themselves" type of problems. I thought to myself, 'It's just skin! How is that hurting them or hurting me or hurting anyone else?'
Then I thought about how air-brushed our celebrity culture is and wondered if most people believe that air-brushed and tons of makeup is reality? Is that what we are all to aspire to?
I have skin issues. Not as many as some people who've lost a lot of weight, and I don't think of my issues as a problem, but I'd be pissed if someone took a photo of my stomach or my inner thighs when I was unaware and plastered it on the cover of a magazine and called it "ugly" or labeled it "bad." What's bad about it? What's so awful terrible about our bodies that other people are so offended?
Fat or thin, we all have things we don't like about ourselves, but making peace with our outside appearance is better than labeling ourselves as inferior or not worthy or somehow flawed because we aren't air-brush perfect. I like to think how I conduct myself, if I'm kind and show love and compassion, is more important than how much loose skin I have or if my face breaks out once in awhile.
There's a balance between body and mind that these magazine editors aren't getting. I may not always like how I look, but I don't ever think that my appearance is more important than the person I am inside.
OK, rant over. On to my food discovery.
My new favorite pre-workout pre-breakfast: half a lite English muffin, toasted and topped with half a sliced banana and 1 tablespoon of PB2, a powdered peanut butter made by Bell Plantation that has only 2.5 grams of fat in 2 tablespoons – a MIRACLE food in my book.
I used to think people were nuts to combine peanut butter and bananas. (Wasn't that Elvis's favorite sandwich? See why I thought it was a nuts thing to do? I love Elvis, but he was a bit odd.)
Anyway, I was in the mood for PB2 and an English muffin on Sunday, but I also wanted some fruit and bananas were all we had in the house (except for prunes and I wasn't in the mood so early in the morning, you know?). I thought of Elvis and all the other people I know who rave about peanut butter and bananas and I tried it. And I loved it. And now it's my new favorite pre-workout pre-breakfast. It will get me through 45 minutes on the arc trainer, a brisk 10-minute walk and a 15-minute ab workout this morning before coming home and having a "real" breakfast. Probably a spinach omelet. Not sure yet.
What will you feed your body today and more importantly, how do you FEEL about your body today?

I call that snack the "diet Elvis." It's one of my favorites!ReplyDelete
As for magazines - I read an interview with one of the top photo editors in the fashion industry, who does all the airbrushing and retouching for Vogue. His opinion was that the unrealistic photo shopped images in magazines are balanced out by unflattering tabloid shots. Maybe, and maybe people who feel bad about themselves feel better to bash celebrities whose money and fame can't fix their cellulite. But why not appreciate people for what they *actually* look like, instead of having it be an airbrushed vogue cover one day and an unflattering tabloid cover the next?
I can't believe you just now got around to trying bananas with peanut butter. YUM! Now, did you toast the english muffin first so that the PB kind of melts into it? So tasty!
As for the images, you bring up an interesting angle - why DO we care so much what OTHER people's bodies look like? They'd get me to buy the magazines if they showed REAL women instead of painted faces and airbrushed bodies. But then again, sex appeal sells.
I was introduced to peanut butter and bananas on toast, about 20 something years ago, when I first went to WW in NZ. It was my favourite breakfast.ReplyDelete
It also makes a nice dessert, if you make a slice in the banana, stuff it with some peanut butter and sprinkle few chocolate chips over the top. Pop it under a hot grill for a minute or two until the chocolate melts and the peanut butter bubbles a bit.
I also wrap it up in tin foil and pop it on the BBQ for a few minutes.
BTW, thank you for the link to PB2. I hadn't heard of it before. I'm ordering some!!
As to the skin/cellulite thingy. Phbbbttt to the magazines and media ..... REAL WOMEN RULE !! (I'm feeling particualy empowered today) :-)
I love peanut butter & bananna on whole wheat high fiber bread. It lasts for hours.ReplyDelete
Lynn - I have a question for you: while you were losing weight, did your family eat what you were eating? Did you cook separate meals for them or did they fend for themselves?

Good morning. I'm on a wt loss journey and just stumbled across your site. Wow. It took me 30 minutes to read it all, but what an inspiration. My starting wt wasat 212.5 and I've lost about 20 lbs so far. It's taken a long time, but my dh says that's ok, your body won't fight you to get it back (and also it's become more of a lifestyle along the way) I really identify with you as we are about the same age and I seem to have the same feelings about myself, and I can imagine feeling the way you felt as I my numbers go down the scale. I can't wait to get into the non-obese zone only 2 more pounds to get there for me, and then to my wedding weight - 35 lbs to get there. I hope I can re-visit your site over annd over again for inspiration. THanks, MoReplyDelete
I've been eating peanut butter and bananas for many many years. How do I feel about my body? For the first time in months I've not had kidney pain for the past week or two, so I'm feeling pretty darn good about my body. As far as the shape of my body, I'd like for it to be about 30 pounds lighter, but at 45 I'm never going to look like a model (shoot, I didn't look like a model at 25 either) and I'm good with that.ReplyDelete
- TawandaMay 15, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Ok I just found your blog and I am wondering how did you start your weight loss journey, did you first start following WW and then come up with your own eating plan? Debbie has asked a very important question, did you cook separate meals or did everyone eat the same thing? If I am asking anything already explained on your blog already please excuse me. I need to lose at least 40 pounds, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.ReplyDelete
I'm so with you guys on this. I want to see REAL bodies, not extremes or exploited photos on either side.ReplyDelete
Wanted to let you know I got a request for an interview from a British magazine and it sounded legit until I got to this part: "Also, I know this also a very personal question but I read on your blog that you have some excess skin now - do you have any photos to illustrate?!"
They want to exploit my skin?! I don't think so. I laughed pretty hard when I read that.
Debbie and Tawanda, I'm answering your question in my next blog.
Thanks for the great comments!

Huh? Not making any sense? Because of the nature of these little flash fiction vignettes, I thought it would be helpful to index previous back stories and journal entries. Although Artiste's tales are non-linear, it can help to read some pages in groups by threads of associated content. Of course you could just read them randomly, and trust that it will all come together at some point.
The beginning back story is always a great place to start:

Cruise Through Southern France Along The Canal Du Midi
The Canal Du Midi by thomasclaveirole via Flickr Creative Commons
Built in the 17th century as a link between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, the Canal du Midi offers pleasure boaters a chance to visit Southern France at a comfortable pace. See ancient castles, taste the local wine at each canal lock and visit the home of cassoulet.
Port Cassafieres
Start your canal cruise at Port Cassafieres. This historic town is just a short distance from the Mediterranean and was once the principal wine port of the region. It's easily accessible from Montpelier airport and train station. If you have time before setting off along the canal, don't miss the chance to visit the black basalt town of Agde just outside the port along the Herault River and its spectacular cliff, Cap d'Agde.
Beziers is the first large town you will come across during your canal du midi boat hire holiday and the second largest in the region after Carcassonne up stream. It holds annual festivals of bullfighting and rugby. A settlement since the 10th century BC and an important trading post for the Greeks and Romans, it was the home town of Paul Riquet who designed the Canal. The town's population was massacred in the 13th century Cathar Crusade, but only a few discreet plaques around the town mention this.
The Aude River by monstermunch via Flickr Creative Commons
As you cruise beyond Beziers, take a left turn along the picturesque Aude River and the Canal de la Robine to the ancient town of Narbonne and it's still imposing cathedral and Merchant's Bridge. Once a Mediterranean port, today it lies 15 kilometres inland. Just outside Beziers and before the turn to the Canal de la Robine you will pass Fonserannes, famous for its staircase of eight locks.
Homps, a small village dating from Greco-Roman times, is the heart of the Minervois wine region. With a population of just over 600, it's also one of the most beautiful villages along the Canal with narrow cobbled streets and lots of local restaurants. It's the third largest port on the canal after Castelnaudary and Port Cassafieres. You can stop off here to enjoy the beaches and water sports at the Lac de Jouarres and the local wine. Lock keepers along the length of the canal sell their home made wine and often offer a glass to taste for free.
The Carcassonne by navillot via Flickr Creative Commons
The largest town along the canal, Carcassonne dates from the fifth century. Its grey stone fortified castle and historic city is visible for miles over the fields of vineyards as you cruise towards it along the canal. Today a UNESCO Heritage Site, it is well worth the long climb up the hill from the canal bank to the castle. Cathar castles line the route of the canal towards Castelnaudary. This is the largest port on the Canal and is the home of cassoulet. A peasant dish of beans and sausage in goose fat, it is celebrated here during an annual festival.
The Canal du Midi is one of France's top tourist attractions but is long and wide enough for a tranquil and relaxing cruise. Enjoy modern sports, ancient history and the local wine along the length of the cruise.

A terrifying video has made its way online in the past week – that of a man getting his hand grabbed by a large fish.
The clip was uploaded to YouTube by user newsInworld, and, as we can read in the description, the victim is a man called Ryan Reynolds.
The Sun indicates that the "creature"attacking him is a tarpon, placing the incident somewhere in Florida.
The star of the video didn't seem to carry any rod with him, so I can assume he wasn't fishing. He probably tried to lure the fish into leaping on the jetty.
The tarpon jumps out and grabs his arm, all the way to his elbow. As you watch the clip, you are convinced for a few seconds that it will chew it off. Fortunately, all ends well and he can free himself.

Victory! Corbyn's political earthquake will resound long and deep
Oliver Tickell
12th September 2015The magnitude of Corbyn's victory today represents an irreversible seismic shift in British politics, writes Oliver Tickell. Finally the Tories face serious, principled opposition that will reveal them as the far-right ideologues they truly are. The reverberations will echo far, wide, long and deep, including to the US where the socialist Bernie Sanders is well on his way to winning the Democratic nomination. more...
Labour's climate change fudge: Heathrow, no; Gatwick, yes
Victor Anderson & Rupert Read
12th September 2015Labour's new candidate for London Mayor has taken a firm stand against Heathrow expansion, write Victor Anderson & Rupert Read. But he's all for it at Gatwick - never mind the climate change. For those who oppose new runways on principle, there's only one choice: The Greens' Sian Berry. more...
Now's the time to make your council declare a TTIP Free Zone
Kevin Smith
14th September 2015The fight against TTIP is being picked up by local authorities across the UK and other EU countries, writes Kevin Smith. Even Brussels - where the European Commission has been negotiating the deal with its US counterparts - has joined the movement. And now, with the election of the anti-TTIP MP Jeremy Corbyn's as Labour Leader, it's time to drive the message all the way home. more...
Solar farm approved at rejected fracking site
Ben Lucas / DeSmog.uk
11th September 2015A stones throw from where Cuadrilla lost its bid to develop a fracking operation in Lancashire, a solar farm has just won planning permission with widespread local support, writes Ben Lucas. However a 194-turbine offshore wind farm near the Isle of Wight has been refused planning consent. more...
Russia - has the world's biggest country turned against the environment?
Lucy E J Woods
22nd September 2015While other countries apply themselves to environmental challenges from climate change to nature protection, Russia - with its massive wealth of nature and natural resources - is stubbornly refusing to take part, writes Lucy E J Woods. And as the economy declines, the pressure is on: to ignore environmental regulations, and clamp down on environmental defenders. more...
Osborne's nuclear fantasies - can you hear me Major Tom?
Doug Parr
10th September 2015This week Chancellor George Osborne told Parliament that the power from the planned Hinkley C nuclear plant would be cheaper than onshore wind, writes Doug Parr. That could be true on Planet Zog - but here on Earth the reverse is the case. Exactly what are Osborne and his Treasury mandarins smoking? more...
Jeremy Corbyn's innovative energy policies are no 1980s throwback
Stephen Hall
8th September 2015Consumers are routinely ripped off in an anti-competitive retail energy market dominated by a handful of big, polluting companies, writes Stephen Hall. Jeremy Corbyn's vision of a nimble, decentralised energy democracy with rapid development of renewables and real choice is both timely and innovative. more...
Nuclear power is expensive everywhere!
David Toke
7th September 2015The notion that nuclear is cheaper outside the UK is a myth, writes David Toke. Yes, it looks more expensive here - but only because new stations like Hinkley C have to compete in an electricity marketplace, making it harder to conceal the true costs like we used to. more...
Scottish land reform - don't forget the tax havens!
Craig Bayne
18th September 2015New proposals on land reform in Scotland are a mixed bag, writes Craig Bayne: some good, some bad, and some downright ugly. Leading that last category is the failure to tackle offshore land ownership in tax haven shell companies, and force disclosure of the real landowners. more...
Support the Iraq war, hold the keys to worldly power
Craig Murray
3rd September 2015Supporters of the Iraq War dominate the UK's public institutions, despite its dismal failure. Why? Because it's the touchstone for adherence to the neo-liberal consensus and all its dogmas, writes Craig Murray, from TTIP to austerity and the corporate takeover of public services. But now, with the rise of Corbyn and the SNP, the deep state is finally facing a real challenge. more...
FoE's new CEO Craig Bennett: 'We have people on our side everywhere'
John Vidal / Guardian Environment
5th September 2015They tried to influence government - but that's not working any more, writes John Vidal. So Friends of the Earth's new boss is taking a more radical approach rooted in community activism. And as he prepares for a storm of protest over fracking and cuts to wind and solar, he's ready to take on George Osborne in an 'ideological war' for the future of Britain. more...
Climate change, Katrina and refugees: military solutions, corporate opportunities
Nick Buxton & Ben Hayes
1st September 2015Confronted with climate change, disasters and their human victims, governments are all to quick to adopt a security response, write Nick Buxton & Ben Hayes. We saw it in the US after Hurricane Katrina. We see it now in Europe. And there's a host of powerful corporations keen to cash in on the opportunities. But the solutions they offer will only deepen the crises we face. more...

West Papua: after 50 years of cruel repression, the intoxicating smell of freedom
Jason MacLeod / Waging NonViolence
4th September 2015Indonesia's murderous campaign of military repression in its stolen territory of West Papua continues, writes Jason MacLeod. But a courageous 50-year struggle for human rights and freedom is finally bearing fruit, with growing recognition of West Papua's right to nationhood among its Pacific neighbours. Real hopes of a better future are rising above the blood and pain. more...
We should all get three-day weekends - all the time
David Spencer
30th August 2015The effect of new labour saving technologies has been ... to keep us working as long as ever, or longer. But why? Certainly not for our benefit, writes David Spencer. It's to keep civil society suppressed, docile, in thrall to the power of capital. All the more reason to rebel - demand a 30-hour working week now! more...
Repowering renewables - a silver lining amid the gloom?
Oliver Tickell
28th August 2015The Tories' decision to scrap the UK's renewable energy sector deserves condemnation, writes Oliver Tickell. But there is a silver lining: it creates the space in which to design better, cheaper, more cost effective support mechanisms to drive the clean energy revolution forward. more...
Aspiration versus climate change: can we win back the centre left?
Leo Barasi
28th August 2015Commitment to action on climate change was once a banner of modernism adopted by by both Tony Blair and David Cameron, writes Leo Barasi. But no longer. The Tories have abandoned it entirely, while the Labour mainstream, in thrall to the twin narratives of 'austerity' and 'aspiration', looks the other way. So how to put climate change back on the centre-left agenda? more...
Government kills off UK solar industry
Oliver Tickell
27th August 2015The UK government is to cut support for domestic rooftop solar to 13% of current levels, with similar cuts for bigger systems, and end all support for small scale renewables by 2019. The likely result, and surely the intention, is to kill off the UK's solar industry altogether. more...
Death to 'austerity'. Long live sustainable abundance!
Rupert Read & Sandy Irvine
30th August 2015Greens are united in opposing neoliberal 'austerity', write Rupert Read & Sandy Irvine. But there's another kind of austerity to which we are committed - that of living within ecological limits. But base the transition on social, economic and environmental justice, and there will be nothing austere about it. The future we're working for is one of sustainable, life-enhancing abundance. more...
London's Garden Bridge: a damaging folly at public expense
Will Jennings
26th August 2015It sounded wonderful: a futuristic 'garden bridge' across the Thames dripping with flowers and foliage, writes Will Jennings. But really it's a private enclosure of valuable public space, mature trees and views, backed by £60m of taxpayers money, that delivers no benefits to London's wildlife, environment or transport needs. more...
English Nature - no more badger cull licences!
Iain McGill & Veterinary colleagues
21st August 2015English Nature's decision to licence England's badger cull has no scientific basis, write Iain McGill and 26 other distinguished vets in this Open Letter to EN's Chief Scientist. Science Advisory Committee and Board. The body must urgently re-examine the entire issue before issuing any more licences to kill badgers. more...
The Ecologist is for Corbyn
The Ecologist
20th August 2015Jeremy Corbyn is the one candidate for the Labour leadership who is serious about the environment and social justice. Only he can re-energise the Party, turn it into a political force capable of defeating neo-liberalism, and lead the progressive government that Britain so desperately needs. more...
Romania's 'occupy forests' movement demands clampdown on corporate crime
Raluca Besliu
21st August 2015A growing protest movement is demanding strong controls on international investors and logging companies buying up Romania's forests, writes Raluca Besliu. In its sights is Austria-based Schweighofer, which stands accused of criminal malpractice and accepting illegal timber shipments. The popular outrage stirred up by corporate misdeeds is now stimulating a wider democratic revival. more...
Legal 'reforms' may make violence the only option for India's eco-defenders
Arpitha Kodiveri
26th August 2015President Modi is determined to sweep away 'obstacles to growth' including the laws that allow marginalised communities to challenge the confiscation of their lands and forests for dams, mines and other 'development' projects, writes Arpitha Kodiveri. If proposed 'reforms' are enacted, the only remaining avenue of dissent may be one of armed conflict. more...
Do the UK government's sums on Hinkley and climate change add up?
Doug Parr / Greenpeace Energydesk
20th August 2015It's a fair question, writes Doug Parr, but one to which we are getting no answers - the government is keeping its sums and energy models secret. It looks as if the energy department, DECC, is making things up as it goes along to justify its pro-nuclear, anti-efficiency and anti-renewables policies. And when it all goes disastrously wrong, who will end up paying for the mess? We will. more...
Welcoming refugees is the first step to freedom and justice
Matt Mellen
17th August 2015By working together and caring for those in need we can show that human kindness and global cooperation are stronger than competition and fear, writes Matt Mellen, and essential to building the better world we seek. Let's begin by recognising the humanity of the refugees washing up on Europe's shores. more...

Hi everyone,
As a lot of you are aware from the heavy comment traffic on our last post, we're doing a quick beta test to stamp out the last few remaining bugs.
Here's where things stand
Fitbit firmware and desktop sync software. This is the software running on the Fitbit itself and the desktop software which uploads data from your Fitbit to our website. There's 1 nasty firmware bug remaining and a bunch of lesser ones. We've selected 10 people to receive hardware to help us stamp this one out.
Earlier today, I think we came up with the fix for the nasty bug. The greater number of testers will help us get some better confidence that the issue is solved, but we probably to have these units running for at least a week, since we've found that it can take up to a week for the bug to come up. Sometimes, it will pop up within hours, but other times it can take a while. For instance, I currently wear about 5 Fitbits simultaneously and the bug only hit hit 1 of them after 6 days of use.
Also, the Mac desktop software needs a lot more banging. There's only a few macs in our company, so it's not gotten the coverage that the Windows version has. And hopefully, no one finds another major issue. Anyways, we'll be Fedex'ing Fitbits to our hardware testers on Wednesday and I will probably add 2-3 more people who own Macs to test the hardware as well.
Again, these are free units you'll be receiving. No need to return them (unless you manage to break it in a novel way, in which case our engineers will want them back to look at it; but you'll get another test unit) and you'll receive your actual Fitbit later.
Fitbit website. We're also opening the website to testers. I didn't want to state a date before we got all our production servers up and running. Now, we're pretty close to finishing that task and so we'll be opening up the site to 25-50 beta testers on Thursday morning 10am PDT. I'm just going through the previous commenters in sequential order and selecting people, while also making sure there's a good selection of Mac users in there. I'll be emailing site testers Wed night and if I can't find your email, I'll post a comment. I *think* we'll gradually add more people over the week, but I'm not sure, yet. In any, case, I know a lot of you are eager to help us out, but I think we should be all set for now based on the existing commenters. We think the site is pretty stable, aside from minor bugs and known usability issues that we are addressing, but testers will help us shake out any last minute issues.
Some people have been curious about the stated specs and how the actual hardware is performing. Battery-wise, things look pretty good…between 5-10 days depending on your usage pattern. If you compulsively turn on the display 50 times an hour all day, then it's going to be around 5 days, otherwise, it's closer to 10. Wireless performance looks pretty good. While we stated 25-50 feet originally, we've found that the device can connect at that range, but to transfer large amounts of data, like 7 days worth of minute by minute data, you actually have to be a bit closer, like 15-20 feet with clear line of sight. That said, every time I sit at my desk, it auto-connects to the base and transfers pretty much immediately. It's pretty cool. I have a hard time trying to prevent it from auto-syncing when I sit down.

Men's Nevados 6 Waterproof Camo Hikers is rated out of 5 by 36.Rated 5 out of 5 by TED from Exactly as describe when ordering ! But they do fit a bit tight. I would advise to go to next half size when ordering for sure !!Date published: 2013-11-30Rated 5 out of 5 by MICHAEL E from Very nice boots for the price charged. They do take some time to get loose and comfortable because they are stiff out of the box. More similar to hunting boots than hiking boots.Date published: 2013-11-08Rated 4 out of 5 by ALBERT from Like the boots-color, style, and fit. However, when attempting to lace the first time I found that the hooks on one of the boot were bent almost closed so it could not be laced to the top. When attempting to open the hooks, one broke completely off. I was able to open the top one, so lace that boot not using the broken hook.Date published: 2013-10-16Rated 4 out of 5 by WILLIAM / RANDY from They were very comfortable, and appear to be durableDate published: 2013-09-25Rated 5 out of 5 by JAMES from I am very pleased with the quality of these boots. They are very well built and rugged - oh and they look good, too. The boots were a bit tight at first, but after wearing them for two days they are very comfortable.Date published: 2013-08-25Rated 5 out of 5 by STEVEN from Perfect fit. Not like the last boots I ordered which did not fit properly!Date published: 2013-08-21Rated 5 out of 5 by BRIAN from Very happy with the boots. As other reviews state, the size does appear to run on the small side, based on that I ordered the next size up and they fit well. Probably could have even gone another size up and been OK. Be sure to wear them to break them in before a long hike, the back part of the uppers is pretty stiff.Date published: 2013-07-25Rated 4 out of 5 by JAMES from good value for the price but mat run slighly small.Date published: 2013-05-16

Rihanna's Tour Bus Stopped On The Ambassador Bridge, Weed Found
March 21, 2013 12:14 PM
Slacker Read More
When 'keeping it real' goes wrong. Ten of Rihanna's tour buses were stopped at the Ambassador Bridge between Michigan and Canada. They were searched for marijuana and yes, some was found.
Rihanna wasn't on any of the buses. After smelling marijuana on one of the buses, officers inspected each bus and found a passenger with a "small amount" of weed. The male was given a ticket.
Rihanna has never denied she loves weed. She's posted photos of herself smoking on her Instagram account and was seen using her bodyguard's head to roll a blunt at last year's Coachella festival.

Yana settlements consisted of a main village with several smaller satellite villages. Each village probably had a hereditary chief or headman, who lived in the main village. Chiefs were wealthy and often had two wives. They led the dances, orated from the roof of the assembly house on proper behavior, and were the only ones permitted to keep vultures as pets. The villagers provided food for chiefs and their families. Shamans, mostly male, received their power by fasting in remote places or swimming in certain pools. Trained by older shamans, they cured by singing, dancing, or sucking. Unsuccessful shamans might be accused of sorcery and killed. Various roots and teas were also used as medicines.
Land was privately owned. Men played double-ball shinny (usually a woman's game, a variation of hockey). Other games included ring and pin, cat's cradle, stick throwing at a stake, and the traditional grass or hand game.
The Northern and Central groups lived in earth-covered multifamily houses. The Southern and Yahi groups preferred smaller, conical, bark-covered houses. An assembly house was located in a tribelet's main village. All groups lived in temporary brush shelters or caves while hunting.
Acorns, fish, and venison were the Yanas' staples. Men climbed trees to shake acorns down while women gathered, shelled, and dried them. After leaching the acorn flour, it was used for mush, bread, and a soup with meat, berries, and other foods. Women also gathered roots, tubers, bulbs, berries, pine nuts, and grasshoppers. Men stalked deer using a deer head decoy and bow and arrow. Salmon was broiled on heated rocks, roasted over an open fire, or dried and stored. Rabbits were hunted in community drives. The Yanas also took other game.
Members of a Mexican expedition may have been the first non-Natives to encounter the Yanas during 1821. Hudson's Bay Company trappers almost certainly interacted with the Yanas from about 1828, and some Mexicans received land grants in Yana territory during that time. The first permanent Anglo settlement in the area came in 1845.
By the late 1840s, Anglo trails crossed Yana territory. With Anglo encroachment came increased conflict: Attacks by U.S. soldiers (John C. Frémont in 1846, for example) led to retaliations, and as food became scarcer the Yanas began raiding cabins. In the 1860s, Anglos set out to exterminate the Yanas. Through massacres, disease, and starvation, their population was reduced by 95 percent in about twenty years.
In 1911, a Yana man named Ishi walked out of the foothills of Mount Lassen to a nearby town, where two anthropologists were able to communicate with him. Ishi eventually communicated his story, which began at the time when Anglo invaders and murderers began to destroy the Yahi (a subset of Yana people). Only about a dozen or so Yahis remained alive after a massacre in 1868, six years after Ishi's birth. These people remained in the wilderness until 1908, when only four were left. Three died shortly thereafter, leaving Ishi as the only remaining Yahi in 1911. After leaving the woods, he lived and worked at the University of California Museum of Anthropology (San Francisco), demonstrating traditional crafts, providing a wealth of information about his culture, and learning some English. Ishi died of tuberculosis in 1916.

A fascinating site for a branding and design company that utilises a huge featured project as the focal point. The attention to detail is excellent throughout, a lot of care has been put into giving the right impression. I particularly like the gallery section and icon design.Posted in Web Design → Design
An attractive magazine style site that draws together interesting things from across the web. The central logo is extremely effective at grabbing your attention and I love the fruit theme. I also particularly like the use of large thumbnail links and how attractive they make the site.Posted in Web Design → Magazine
A nice looking portfolio with an interesting theme. I actually like the footer best and have featured this portion of the site above.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
This site uses bold colors and simple graphics with a high level of eye-catching contrast. When you reload the page the color of the site changes along with the shirts the guys are wearing. I love the integration of the live map into the bottom of the page, an awesome touch!Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
This illustration-centric site has some awesome graphics, colors and even a hint of texture. I love the simple layout with the heavy emphasis on imagery and the use of a bomb to represent ACME, a term that makes me think of Loony Toons!Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
This site uses a beautiful slideshow of photographic textures in such a way that it actually feels like the site is shifting hues due to the brightly colored slides. I also really the like the headline typography, the engraved shadow look is very nice.Posted in Web Design → Misc
This site is the portfolio of designer and student Chris Kinsey. The mixture of bold condensed and script fonts in the headline is a really nice combination. I also like the color scheme and the refreshingly different layout of the thumbnails and descriptions.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
A really great looking portfolio page with super thin typography, a subtle background texture and even a little bit of humor. I love the contrast of the yellow on the black. These two colors always make a bold statement when combined and the result here is a fairly classy theme.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
An interesting take on a web designer website. Easy Peasee uses fun cartoony graphics, bright colors and friendly messaging to draw you in. Overall it is a nice looking site with a simple to follow progression of information. If you stop by be sure to take a look at the interesting footer design.Posted in Web Design → Design
A nice looking portfolio page that uses a shelf effect and an image slider to really show of the work well. I am not crazy about the giant sticky and would like to see more of the chalk drawing behind it but otherwise I think the designers have done a great job.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
This is a really unique and completely beautiful page design. The wall of black and white photos really grabs you and each photo becomes full cover on hover. The big, slightly transparent cross on the far right is another great graphical element that brings some bright color to the page.Posted in Web Design → Design
An excellent design featuring a bright yellow background and realistic sliders. I love how big everything is, especially the download and preview buttons near the bottom.Posted in Web Design → Design
A really nice photography portfolio design. The images at the top have an accordion-like animation when you hover over them. I like the dark theme and noisy background, which goes really well with the minimal button style containing a single pixel stroke and slightly transparent fill.Posted in Web Design → Corporate
An attractive design featuring a nice illustrated look and bright colors. I like the icon design at work here as well as the simple layout and messaging that instantly communicates what the site does.Posted in Web Design → Sport
I love the oversized graphics and typography on this page. Also, the ragged vertical navigation area is really unique and grabs your attention quickly. Visit the page and check out the subtle light bulb animation on the top left of the site.Posted in Web Design → Design
I really like the soft abstract background on this site and the rounded content area with its transparent border. The blue color scheme works great with the grays and makes for a really classy looking page. Overall, a refreshingly different design!Posted in Web Design → Design

'Awed' Watson hails Steyn as world's best fast bowler
Australian all-rounder Shane Watson has hailed South Africa's Dale Steyn as the best fast bowler in the world.
Watson watched with a sense of foreboding and awe from the sidelines as Steyn started a fiery spell consisting of reverse swing that ripped through Australia's middle order in the second Test.
According to News.com.au, Watson said that in every series he had played against Steyn, he has seen how the quick fires up and gets to a spell that changes the game, adding that Steyn is the best pace bowler in the world as he can bowl with a brand new ball and also impress with an old reversing ball.
Stating that Australian batsmen had found it difficult to hold their own against a fast reversing ball in the second Test, Watson also said that it is the ultimate challenge to face Steyn as he is good as any other bowler that had ever played in the past, adding that he expects an even more improved showing from Steyn in the three-Test series decider.
