The conversation shifts to whether the lemonade needs more sugar substitute and other creative ways to make their food taste better.
"You guys, last night I put cottage cheese in my spaghetti!" one girl says to a chorus of groans. "It tasted like lasagna, I swear!"
Such talk is common at the Academy of the Sierras, the nation's first weight-loss boarding school. It's the temporary home to 80 boys and girls who wage a battle against excess pounds and the pain that put them there.
Students like Melissa, 17, move to the sparsely populated farmland outside Fresno to be isolated from their families, friends and unhealthy triggers. They keep track of each bite, all of which total around 1,300 calories and less than 12 grams of fat each day.
In 15 weeks, Melissa has lost 54 pounds. At 213, she wants to lose 70 more pounds. She plans to stay through January and then finish her senior year at Woodbridge High in Irvine.
"I want to get healthy, and I'm working really hard," Melissa says after getting up at 6:45 a.m. for the daily two-mile walk on the dusty roads surrounding the school. "Sometimes I'm really not motivated, and I don't want to get up. ... By the end of the day, I'm glad I didn't sleep in."
With one in five American teenagers considered overweight, a growing segment of the $50 billion weight-loss industry is focused on childhood obesity. While there are dozens of therapeutic boarding schools for behavior problems, the academy is the first devoted to weight loss.
Students must be at least 30 pounds overweight, but most carry an extra 50 to 100 pounds.
The academy costs $5,800 a month. That's about $500 per pound lost each month at the school by the average student, based on the school's weight-loss statistics.
Students take classes in nutrition, cooking and fitness plus typical high school subjects. They exercise about three hours a day and receive at least four hours a week of individual and group therapy. The average stay is nine months.
"Is this a safer version of the real world? Absolutely," says the school's executive director, Phil Obbard, who previously worked for Slim-Fast and has a history degree from Yale University. "Weight loss is that catalyst for behavioral change and emotional growth. We couldn't do what we do if it weren't in this enclosed, safe environment."
Not everyone is sure that temporarily placing kids in artificial surroundings can work in the long run.
The Child Welfare League of America and the American Psychological Association have asked for a federal study of therapeutic boarding schools' methods and effectiveness. Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez, introduced legislation in April that calls for tighter oversight of the schools nationwide.
Dr. Dan Cooper, a UC Irvine pediatrician who treats obesity, agrees that programs can succeed by controlling physical activity and diet.
But Cooper, who is working on a childhood obesity study with the National Institutes of Health, says the bigger challenge comes from outside influences such as family dynamics, lack of exercise options and fast-food marketing.
"How do you change those things?"
School officials report that 15 students who stayed for the 2004-05 school year on average maintained their weight loss for at least 10 months after leaving. Longer-term results are expected next year.
"Those kids who leave successfully, with our blessing - we've seen 70 to 90 percent who do well," Obbard says.
The program depends on a strict system that gives students privileges for good behavior.
New students may make two 10-minute calls a week. Physical relationships are banned. Field trips, longer calls and other freedoms are earned as students reach exercise, academic and food-monitoring goals.
Some kids rebel by sneaking in cell phones or walking off the campus. Punishment can include extra chores, temporary isolation from other students or time in a nearby wilderness camp.
Some parents of former academy students bristle at the communication barriers and what they consider health risks. Katie Golichnik of Wisconsin says her 15-year-old daughter was told to drop down to 700 calories a day if she didn't lose more than one pound a week.
While some students might eat that little, Obbard says the school doesn't advise it.
"Activity is always more important than food restriction," he says.
Golichnik says a school official chastised her for pulling her daughter out in December after one semester. The girl has continued to lose weight with help from an eating-disorders therapist.
"They had my daughter believing there was no way she could be successful, that nobody can work with teenagers like they can, which obviously wasn't true," Golichnik says.
Justine Novack, 16, of Laguna Hills attended the school for three months last year. She gained weight after leaving and is now on a different regimen of diet and exercise.
"It's such a closed environment that the advice and therapy you get there doesn't work when you get home," she says. "I don't have time to exercise three hours a day."
Some students thrive on the regimen. Dustin Johnson, 18, says his parents told him to go to the academy or they'd kick him out of their house. The senior from Connecticut now loves to play sports, something he had given up when his knees buckled under his 325-pound weight. He's lost 44 pounds in five weeks.
"The first thing I said was thank you to my parents," Johnson says. "I know that four months here will change my life."
Some experts say attitude, rather than intervention, makes the difference in maintaining weight loss.
"Nothing works until you're ready to lose weight," says Abby Ellin, author of "Teenage Waistland: A Former Fat Kid Weighs In on Living Large, Losing Weight, and How Parents Can (and Can't) Help."
"You can have schools, you can have camps, you can have surgery, but ultimately it's an inside job."
At an all-school meeting, students and staff give out awards for friendship, good grades and fitness. Some students are chided for trying to get out of exercise or littering.
"I know some of you are really depressed but someday you won't be, and do you want this place to be ugly?" asks Molly Carmel, the school's senior clinical director, who has a master's degree in social work.
Administrators acknowledge that many students bring problems beyond their weight - depression, self-mutilation or behavior disorders.
This year school officials called Tulare County sheriff's deputies to remove a newly admitted problem student.
"Unfortunately, when you're admitting kids from across the country, you're admitting kids without all the information you would need," Obbard says.
The Sheriff's Department also visited last month to investigate a relationship between a staff member and a student.
"Somebody who works there came across some inappropriate e-mails and notified our department," says Sgt. Chris Douglass, Sheriff's Department spokeswoman.
The case was turned over to the Tulare County District Attorney's Office, and Obbard says the staff member was fired. Charges have not been filed.
Unlike most residential treatment facilities, the school is not required to be licensed by the state departments of health or social services.
Several current and former students say the academy, which costs more than Harvard University, isn't at the academic level of their high schools.
The campus is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, a designation that allows most students to transfer the credits to their home schools. Because it is a private school, instructors don't need state teaching credentials.
Katherine Howard, 22, teaches philosophy, world history and English. She says her experience as an obese teenager is an advantage as a teacher.
"I wanted to be a part of this big push to get kids healthy," she says. "It took me until I was 18 to deal with it. I did it entirely by myself. That doesn't work for children."
On a cool day in October, a math teacher shows up 10 minutes late as students wait outside the classroom. Students can be seen knitting scarves during class.
In the school's test kitchen, young chefs rub salmon fillets with seasonings of their choosing. Two boys show off their Cajun-spiced fish. Two girls dip fingers into their sauce to taste it.
The cooking teacher shouts at the girls for touching the sauce and tells them to pack up their work station.
"You failed! You failed! You failed!"
As a baby, Melissa grew at a fast rate and stayed overweight through childhood. She says she used food to deal with a strained relationship with her dad and the stress of changing schools.
At Woodbridge, Melissa was on the swim and water polo teams and performed with a dance chorus. Still, she couldn't shake the weight.
"I didn't want to admit to myself that I was overweight, so I didn't really deal with it," Melissa says. "I didn't really talk about my feelings."
Melissa reluctantly agreed to go to the boarding school in June after her mom suggested it. She wasn't sure it would be any different from her other attempts at dieting.
Now she loves seeing the difference in her face and stomach. She looks forward to compliments for something other than her blue eyes.
For her mother, Leslie Riggs, the result is miraculous.
"She kind of had given up on the idea of losing weight," Riggs says. "The turnaround in her personality and her outlook is worth every penny."
While Melissa is away, her mom and sister Stephanie are following a similar diet and exercise plan. Melissa fears gaining weight at home, but feels ready to face any temptations.
"I train myself to think that unhealthy food is bad for me so when I pass McDonald's or Carl's Jr. I don't want to eat it anymore."
"I don't want to screw up," she says. "I really want to change my life."

We enjoyed our stay, the Hotel ticked all our boxes
Check in was efficient and informative, our bedroom had everything we needed, the bar area was comfortable and relaxed in the evening and the night staff who served us were friendly.
Breakfast was more than adequate. We chose this hotel mainly because of it's close vicinity to the O2 Acadamy, it was great for the train station and the city centre shops, bars and restaurants too. We really appreciated the facility to leave our luggage after we had checked out. All in all a lovely stay.

Quite goood
The stay was good all round, and I would stay there again.
Superior accommodation and a very comfortable one night stay
Good size room - surprising lack of drawer-space but not a problem for a one-night stay.
Sensible heating, comfortable bed with a choice of pillow quality (neatly labelled firm or soft), easy shower controls and a well designed bathroom. Very friendly hotel staff. The kettle had broken but it was very efficiently replaced by a new one within minutes of my request. Central and convenient for trains or entertainment with a secluded entrance in the plaza. Good varied breakfast with excellent sausages.

I know there are a few sites that offer coming soon pages like launch rock and others - but is there a free or one time purchase plugin that achieves the same thing?
Woocommerce has a "theme" that allows you to do this - but it is a theme! So you can't have a different theme for your site while you develop it... I don't get it.
I am looking to have this coming soon plugin up while I spend the next month configuring my theme and designing my site... since a plugin is independent of a theme - I think this will work the way I am describing it. Can you help?

text: Yann & Tristan - Bathroom Strangler (Original Mix) [Preview] by Electronical Reeds published on 2013-10-03T10:52:46Z The Brussels-based label Electronical Reeds celebrates its 3 years. With a well-established and jam-packed background, the label aims to mark this occasion with a special release. Not just a simple compilation, this label album imprints the sincere vision of today's electronic music by Electronical Reeds and its artists. The open-minded and patient work of label management and passionate work of artists allowed Electronical Reeds to rise to a new level achieving current musical variety and quality of its catalogue. This latter is reflected by radio broadcasts in more than 65 countries around the world, and support by some of the world's biggest DJs including Sasha, Sebastien Leger, Laurent Garnier, Stephan Bodzin, Derrick May, Agoria, Maceo Plex, Nic Fanciulli, Nick Warren, Dave Clarke, John Digweed,... The 13 tracks of the anniversary label album consolidate the foundation that Electronical Reeds has been patiently building over the past 3 years that will serve as a new standard for the upcoming projects. The label team would like to thank all the artists, fans and followers and each and every person that has contributed to what the label has become. We hope that every listener of the present anniversary release will enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed putting it together with our artists.

DJ Hennessy Frontman
"CVS Bangers"
DJ Hennessy Frontman released this dope mixx back in April, but seven months later, it still feels as current as the day it was released. A 30-minutes plus mix of soft rock, coffeehouse pop, and dancehall horns, "CVS Bangers" is described by its creator as:
-"The audioscape for when you're buying tampons or a 12 pack of condoms"
-"A sampling of those magic tunes that play when you're contemplating how ridiculous you would look carrying 24 rolls of toilet paper on the train"
-"Those bittersweet tunes of yesteryear that skip through your mind as you read the nutritional information on the back of a box of frozen pizza and opt for a pint of ice cream instead "
-"Those special ditties that accompany your smashing the bar code of a can of Red Bull against the scanner of a broken self-checkout machine"
Fun fact about yr girl zcamp: I actually worked at CVS for one fateful summer, and it will be with me for the rest of my life because I acquired many skills (brandishing box cutters, stocking nail polish by color, shooing teenagers away from the cough syrup). This mix provokes a strong Proustian flashback to those glory days, probably a direct result of my listening to muzak for eight hours a day, every day, for three months. But you know, muzak is the soundtrack of capitalism, and it is my duty as an American to support capitalism, no matter what.
Pardon the digression. Enjoy the mix:

BUN / Delofi
Colors Tape / Winter Tape
Not long ago, as Dirty Tapes first started making a name for themselves through pop-up posts and embeds across the [semi-]permanent threads of the internet, the label boasted an enormous list of upcoming releases — something like 20-tapes deep. It felt like a real statement. "Dirty Tapes: get ready." Well, that list disappeared into the data stream somewhere, and the current list is much more representative of the releases actually available to us, as the label currently stands. Of that initial list , this long-awaited BUN / Delofi split is finally seeing its physical release. Its mid-range beat highlights are perfectly and barely audible through the piles of tape hiss and vinyl crackle. "Dirty" Tapes is right!
Listen to a couple of the tracks below and buy the full tape over at the label's website.

Pop music has never been this serene since Michael circa Free Willy. E+E (Elijah Paul Crampton) is now here to propose that same feel, but reimagined on RECORTES [2008-2012]. Basically, RECORTES [2008-2012] (translation: Cuts) takes everything you wanted in pop and flips ya, for real. Like, he got birds and bells both signaling off in the middle of songs that sound all at once daring, bold, and fluid. It's non-stop and can be played as such. Too much musical and/or verbal weird worlds in your years? Satiate that pain and ease into E+E's RECORTES [2008-2012]. I got a mini-exclusive bit from Elijah about how this release came to be, and the words exactly match the songs' adventures and poignancy. Read about it in the block quote and stream RECORTES [2008-2012] below:
These works sum up a time in my life spent moving through the United States, a time abounding with pure romanticism and sorrow. Back then, I was engulfed in the flames of such poets as Saint John of the Cross, Paz, and of course my beloved Jimenez. These songs were quite literally love letters written to different boyfriends and to God. Not originally intended for any form of public gaze, they laid with my secrets. They stood ash-dusted as a testament to a violent reclaiming of my past and their posture remains in that light. Their formation came wholly at times, flung out and blasted into being; in other moments they seemed to materialize shadowy and scarcely existing. From their inception these songs have remained in motion, in constant arrival. May you find solace in these crude constellations. May you find yourself dragged down into love's orbit, removed- however momentary- from the abysm of your freedom, pulled out by a great weight of wings."

"Clubbing Spain: Podcast 119"
When Ze Records put out their Mutant Disco compilation, they subtitled it A Subtle Discolation of the Norm. Xosar's green-neon-bathed, eerie, retrofuturistic mutant house is not so much a discolation as an edification — and a subtle Detroitification — of the norm; a panicky dystopia where we can only be soothed to sleep by android lullabies, or by the distant crashing waves of the sea(punk). This may not be surprising, springing from the mind of an artist who's a genuine heir to the Cold Mountain Paranormal Society.
Check out Xosar's "Clubbing Spain: Podcast 119" (below), featuring a whole evolutionary microcosm of her unreleased musical cyberflora and technofauna, "Directly from my electribe 2 ur ears," which I imagine is something like thishere.

Chocolate Grinder Mix 96
L.A. duo 18+ are one of the most exciting groups out there. Their music is a bizarre yet seductive mix of hip-hop, electro-pop, trap, and appropriation music, a hyperextended reach into the repressed, insular fetishism of the virtual world, where simulacrum reigns and orgasms occur from a sweaty, distanced position. Their vocals, alternating between members "Boy" and "Sis," mirror in part the artificiality of its video subjects — vacant, mimetic, questionably sincere — all of it fraught with the terrifying (digital) reality that reproduction in 18+'s domain is programmed, not biological.
Last month, 18+ released their third (and, in my opinion, strongest) release, MIXTAP3. It follows MIXTA2E from late last year, which made our mid-year list with ease several months ago. To continue the celebration that started this morning with Birkut's review of their latest, I made an 18+ mix called MIXTA3.5, which culls my favorite tracks from both MIXTA2E and MIXTAP3, as well as a host of tracks so fucking good it's hard to believe they haven't been released outside of YouTube.
Stream below, and subscribe to our podcast here.

Waste of time Luckily I have WiFi at my house so I didn't waste any data on downloading this "app" I like the graphics of the widget but I won't buy the real version on general principle. Shame
Misleading The app in store its clearly showing as a free download,however upon placing the widget on home screen you see you must purchase to use. Play store needs to remove this app before this behavior becomes the norm.
Listing a Paid App as Free is Fraudulent Love the look of this clock (though adding an option for 12-hour format seems a no-brainer), BUT the developer is fast going to earn an undesirable reputation for misleading people. It's bad enough that people had to beg for this widget, as it appeared on the screenshots for the "Graphics Art" Launcher theme, but it's unconscionable to say it's free when it is not.
Don't download This app is misleading after you download it you have to then pay to use it, an app is not free of you have to pay to use it Google play needs to either fix this or remove it from the app store
Scam This is not a free widget, just a scam to get you to buy one. Don't buy, and maybe avoid this seller all together.
What a cheeky con, AVOID! They allow you to download a version that does not work at all with a sole clickable feature that asks yu to purchase the real one.

Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court Palace is located in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and dates from around 1514 when it was built by King Henry VIII for Cardinal Wolsey. He lived in the palace until 1529 when he fell out of favour with the King and from that point on it became the main residence of King Henry VIII who had it enlarged. Over the next two centuries it was enlarged further and remained a principal residence of the Royal Family until the late 18th century. Today Hampton Court Palace is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Britain and plays host to many events throughout the year, including an annual flower show by the Royal Horticultural Society that attracts over 300,000 visitors. The palace is open for visiting daily throughout the year (with the exception of a few public holidays over the Christmas period) and several different ticket options are available. Full details of prices along with the opening hours are available on the website.
Tonbridge Castle
The history of the castle dates back to the Norman Conquest when one of the Norman nobles, Richard Fitz Herbert, was given land at a crossing of the river Medway. A typical motte and bailey wooden castle was built, but this was destroyed some years later during a rebellion. It was rebuilt in stone and the twin-towered gatehouse was added in the 13th century. The gatehouse still stands and is considered among the finest in England. The castle had a succession of owners but the Civil War saw an end to its existence and parts of it were gradually demolished and used for buildings elsewhere. The grounds are free of charge and are open daily 8am to dusk. There is an admission fee for the castle which is open 9am to 5pm Mondays to Saturdays, and 10.30am to 5pm Sundays. There is an audio tour which lasts about one hour and is also available in French, German, Dutch and Spanish. The tour offers interactive displays and tableaux recreating medieval life.
Prince Regent Swimming Complex
Prince Regent Swimming Complex has recently undergone a major refurbishment program. Facilities include four different swimming pools, a health suite, crèche and meeting rooms. The standard opening times for the swimming pool are: Monday - from 10.30am until 9.30pm Tuesday - from 10.30am until 6.45pm Wednesday and Thursday - from 10.30am until 9.30pm Friday - from 10.30am until 5.45pm Saturday - from 9am until 4.45pm Sunday - from 10am until 9.30 pm Early morning swimming is available for members Monday to Friday from 7am until 9am. Various membership packages are available but non members can use the facilities at the complex and pay on the door.
Crystal Palace Park
The Crystal Palace was constructed for the Great Exhibition of 1851. Originally it was located in Hyde Park, but due to its huge success it was transferred to the London Borough of Bromley and became a venue for the Victorian celebration of the British Empire. The Palace itself was destroyed by a fire in 1936 and little of it still remains, but the Park and its many attractions still exists. One of its main attractions is the newly restored Dinosaur Park, which dates back to 1851 and was the first in the world. Here visitors can view statues of life-size dinosaurs, prehistoric reptiles and mammals, as well as examples of geology which cover 350 million years of Britain's evolution. The remains of the original palace that can be seen in the park include the Terrace Arches and the Sphinx . Further there is the largest maze in Britain, a Cafe and a children's playground. Football fans might want to incorporate a visit to the National Sports Centre, which is located in the center of the park and home to Crystal Palace FC. The Sports Centre is also a popular venue for concerts and other events. Free parking spaces are available at the Sports Centre and other locations near the main entrances. Toilets, including disabled toilets, can be found all over the park. Entrance to all attractions, apart from the National Sports Centre, is free. Opening times : Daily from 7:30 until half an hour after dusk. Buses : Crystal Palace Parade (North): 2, 3, 63, 122, 137a, 202, 227, 249, 306, 322, 358 Thicket Road, Penge entrance (South): 194, 227, 312 Train stations : Crystal Palace Station, Penge West Station, Penge East Station
Hever Castle
Hever Castle in Kent dates back to 1270. It was enlarged into a Tudor dwelling in the early 1500s when it was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn (wife of Henry VIII and mother of Elizabeth I). The castle was restored by William Waldorf Astor in 1903 with the building of the Tudor Village and the creation of the gardens and lake. The castle houses portraits, tapestries and artefacts from the sixteenth century. There is a costume exhibition in the Long Gallery and a large display of arms, armour and instruments of torture and execution in the gatehouse. The gardens include mazes, water features and fountains, and the Tudor garden and Rhododendron Walk. Open daily. Gardens: 11am - 5pm (March - October) Gardens: 11am - 3:30pm (November) Castle opens: 12am Tickets: Combined castle and gardens Adult: £ 9.80 Senior: £ 8.20 Child (5-14): £ 5.30 Reduced price for garden admission only Family tickets are also available. There is car parking available in the grounds. Wheelchair access to the castle is restricted.

Found on Vintage Me Oh My. Here and here.
I've created a new print that will be going in my Etsy shop soon. I'm in the process of creating work for no one but myself. It's pretty rad. Keep a look out for more new work within the next few weeks. This print, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, has always been one of my favorites. "Let us then be up & doing with a heart for any fate."
Gorgeous work by Ill-Studio in Paris. I'm smitten.
Recently found designs that I love (clockwise): Beautiful type + pink found here, great book cover found here, La Dolce Vita found here, and great signage found here.
Work is pouring in, I hardly have a moment to remember to sit up straight (finally seeing a chiropractor next week) but I'm staying inspired. I like making lists so here is my current, random list:
1. Only take creative clients.
2. It's okay to say no.
3. CTRL+S OFTEN. No, CONSTANTLY.
4. Spend more time outside. It's getting warmer.
5. Stay surrounded by your real friends and talented individuals.
The work above is by Mucca Design, found on Show Us Your Type, found on Graphic Exchange, Jessica Hische.
This project caught my eye over on Adam&Co.'s portfolio site. Plus- my husband's name is Adam so I'm a bit biased.
Stinking talented. Check out Mads Burcharth's work here. Samples below. I can't get enough of type lately.
Sharing is caring. So enjoy these iPhone/iPad/Desktop wallpapers! Just click on the links below and save to your technological toy of choice.

This article originally appeared on POPSUGAR
No cocktail hour? Our POPSUGAR UK editor Gemma Cartwright dishes on the differences between American weddings and British weddings. Some are quite surprising!
1. We Have an All-Day Breakfast
Kind of! The meal at a British wedding is known as the "wedding breakfast," even if you eat it at 5 p.m. Apparently this harks back to when the bride and groom would fast before they married in the morning. Now, it's just one of those quirky traditions we refuse to let go of.
2. Speaking of Mornings . . .
It's not unusual for the dress code of a more traditional wedding to specify that morning dress is encouraged. This refers to the "daytime formal" men's attire that includes a top hat, waistcoat (vest), and tailcoat. It's worn by many grooms and groomsmen but only occasionally by all guests. In fact, I went to one wedding that specifically stated that morning dress for guests was not welcome!

Is it possible to create a layout file inside of a module ? How ?
For what:
I want to add a some kind of statistics hit counter for products, and I don't want to override the products class, as that is already done by some module I'm using. Thus I thought it would be best to have a custom module with a block that would be called by a layout statement. Of course I could easily edit my private local.xml or make changes to another layout-xml in the layout folder of my theme, but I want this feature to be available in all themes (independent of any selected theme).
Some constraints:
- All code in one single module
- ... so that it is theme independent
- ... so that the module can be shared with others without them having to change anything (like theme files), so that the install/load of my module would be enough
I would also accept different approaches for my statistics hit counter loading (using the same constraints)

Natalie Stoppani's Profile
I started this Etsy project after being laid off. I saw a similar products in a store and I figured I could make it better and cheaper. So I did! Then I got requests for similar products, so I did it! Soon people were asking for bridle charms for their horses and collar charms for their dogs. What started out as me making something for myself has transcended into me making custom beaded accessories for humans and their fashion forward animal pals.
Now my Etsy store is comprised of my crafting experiments as I try new things. It's amazing that I am so crafty and I didn't even know it!

The Best Thing About You Test
Their result for The Best Thing About You Test ...
Hot! Passion is your greatest virtue
Passion is an intense emotion that compels feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for anything, and that often requires action. Get that? Requires action. It's very likely you submit to your deepest needs and live life with a flair few others achieve, but many envy. All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your passion runs deepest.
Passionate types: artists, writers, composers, athletes, and heroine addicts.
Your raw relative scores follow. 0% is low, and 100% is perfect, nearly impossible. Note that I pitted the virtues against each other, so in some way these are relative scores. It's impossible to score high on all of them, and a low score on one is just relatively low compared to the other virtues.
50% Compassion
22% Intelligence
25% Humility
44% Honesty
50% Discipline
0% Courage
92% Passion
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 50% on Compassion, higher than 55% of your peers.
They scored 22% on Intelligence, higher than 15% of your peers.
They scored 25% on Humility, higher than 10% of your peers.
They scored 44% on Honesty, higher than 18% of your peers.

Toxicology Research were delighted to sponsor a poster prize at the 2nd Eco-toxicology conference, which took place from the 25th – 28th April 2015 in Xiamen, China. Many congratulations to Liang-ying He (Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences) for winning this prize with their poster entitiled: "Dissemination of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Representative Broiler Feedlots Environments: Identification of Indicator ARGs and Correlations with Environmental Variables".
"Broiler feedlots may represent an important source of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. However, the prevalence and dissemination mechanisms of various types of ARGs in the environment of broiler feedlots have not previously been identified. We examined the occurrence, abundance and variation of ARGs conferring resistance to chloramphenicols, sulfonamides and tetracyclines in the environments of two representative types of broiler feedlots (free range and indoor) and assessed their dissemination mechanisms. Horizontal gene transfer and co-selection were found to play important roles in ARG dissemination in the environment. fexA, sul1 and tetW could be reliable indicator genes to surrogate anthropogenic sources of ARGs in boiler feedlots. The distribution and transportation of ARGs from the boiler feedlots to the receiving environments were correlated with environmental variables. The findings highlight the contribution of some chemicals such as antibiotics and metals to the development of ARGs in broiler feedlots environments; and the observed ARG dissemination mechanism in the broiler feedlots facilitates the development of effective mitigation measures."
Many congratulations to Liang-ying on receiving your prize

Football star David Beckham and his former Spice Girl singer, wife Victoria have named their fourth child Harper Seven.
The baby girl was delivered on Sunday, July 10, at 7.55am, becoming a sister for the Beckham's three sons - Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5.
"I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham," the Los Angeles Galaxy football player said on his Facebook page.
Beckham has told the Daily Mail that Harper is an old English name and one that Victoria has always liked. No mention of where the name Seven came from though... could it have been chosen because this was the number on the shirt Beckham wore for Manchester United back in his heyday? Or is it because the little girl was born at 7am in the 7th month?

Color Vs Black/White
November 18, 2013 § 6 Comments
November 18, 2013
Have you ever stopped to think about how color truly affects our lives? I understand the joy of color and know, first hand, how color can influence most aspects of our day to day existence. Then I remembered a movie that does a lovely job of capturing the transformative aspects of color.
That movie is Pleasantville. While I was watching the movie I had a bit of an epiphany. I then Googled Pleasantville and found this gem of a quote from Warren Epstein (The Gazette) on Wikipedia that really summed it up.
"This use of color as a metaphor in black-and-white films certainly has a rich tradition, from the over-the-rainbow land in The Wizard of Oz to the girl in the red dress who made the Holocaust real for Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List. In Pleasantville, color represents the transformation from repression to enlightenment. People – and their surroundings – change from black-and-white to color when they connect with the essence of who they really are."
Have you ever stopped to think about your immediate color world? What colors give you the connection to who you really are?
I was once asked "If you could live without color, where would you give up color?"
Would you be willing to give up color?
Reading List For The Color Echelon
September 30, 2013 § 4 Comments
September 30, 2013
Who doesn't love a list?
Every year, twice a year, I teach a class on color and design. In the preparations for the class I compile a list of books that I have found to be integral in my pursuit of color knowledge. It is a very long list (12 pages) so I decided to pick eight books that I think are important for those who are looking to grow their knowledge and understanding of color.
1). A Natural History of the Senses by Diane Ackerman
2). Color and Human Response by Faber Birren
3). Color Psychology & Color Therapy by Faber Birren
4). Color Graphics; The Power of Color in Graphic Design by Karen Triedman and Cheryl Dangel Cullen
5). Colour/Travels Through the Paintbox by Victoria Finlay
6). A Perfect Red by Amy Butler Greenfield
7). Living With Color by Deryck Healy
8). Designing Across Cultures-How to Create Effective Graphics for Diverse Ethnic Groups by Ronnie Lipton
I would love to hear about your favorite color books. Are any of these books on your "must read" list?
What books would you include in your top ten list of color books?
For my complete list of books sign up for my next Color/Design course in to be held in Burbank, January 2014.
Black Is The New Black, The Old Black, And A Constant
August 19, 2013 § 7 Comments
August 19, 2013
How many times have you heard that "gray is the new black", or "brown is the new black" or even "red is the new black"? I can tell you that in my professional career I have heard this said season after season. The truth is black is a constant, staple, mainstay, and essential to every wardrobe.
I just roll my eyes when I hear comments like these because black is part of the color foundation of material society.
Black is here and never went anywhere and won't be going any time soon.
However, earlier this week I was going through my archives and found that I, at one time, had indeed written: "Black is Back!" for the first edition of a newsletter that I edited as the newly-appointed executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. But it was at a time (1986) when black had truly had been diminished for a short time, at least, interior and fashion-wise and was coming back in full force. The following is an excerpt that includes comments from some of the designers (fashion and interior) that I spoke with who shared their thoughts about black.
"Black has become the greatest neutral, it brings an accent point into a space. To me, black is a very exciting and lively hue. I believe it is also powerful and authoritative."-Vicente Wolf of Patino-Wolf Associates.
Donna Karan believes black provides the perfect foundation upon which to assemble a wardrobe or single outfit. Black defines the silhouette and goes with everything. Like a painter's canvas, it is the essential backdrop on which to build.
Designer Halston comments: "Black is the most classic and eternal-it is all colors. Black cannot be penetrated. It is the ultimate color in high fashion." He states he could use it all the time. There is no replacement. The most important and interesting piece in his collection is always black. He likes to work while wearing black because it does not compete with other colors. As long as he has been in the industry, black has always been his number one seller.
The dichotomy of black is also shown through historical happenings. The Reagans, Princess Di and Prince Charles have helped to make black-tie formality fashionable again. At the opposite end of the social scale, young people, from beatniks to rockers to punks, have adopted black as a symbol of the negation of a society.
Whether the ultimate in chic, or in the expression of adolescent defiance, black wields a powerful psychological force in the current world of design and color.
These sentiments about black are just as true today as they were more than 25 years ago!!
What role does black play in your wardrobe? Do you use black in your decor?
Color Coded Cartoons
August 9, 2013 § 2 Comments
August 9, 2013
The color wheel is the basis of all color combinations. This circular arrangement of the spectrum visually illustrates the basic principles of color. That is part of what makes this cartoon color infographic from Slate Online Magazine (click the link at the bottom), so wonderful.
As most people are familiar with the color wheel it makes perfect sense to color code cartoon characters, especially if you are looking to create a space for your child or inner child, the color wheel is a great place to start.
As a parent, a visual like this could make quick work of (re)decorating your child's personal space. Even if your child's favorite character hasn't made the cut on this graphic you can still draw inspiration from this cartoon color wheel or any color wheel.
It is really important for children to have input into the color schemes of their rooms. It's a wonderful exercise in creativity and a real confidence booster in their ability to do this. In addition, it really helps to set the stage for their participation in color and design projects when they get older.
It has been said that the greatest of all inventions is the wheel. I would say that the color wheel is next. For most people, much of color "knowledge" is based on instinctive responses, cultural conditioning, and those aspects of color that we seem to absorb without much conscious thought. yet there is a great deal we can learn about color that is based on certain artistic and harmonious concepts.

Travel Posters Colorful Palettes For Inspiration
July 31, 2013 § 2 Comments
July 31, 2013
I was perusing the Huffington Post when I spotted the story (link at the bottom) on vintage travel posters and was reminded of some of the wonderful posters that we came across when we were doing research for my latest book Pantone The 20th Century in Color.
There is something magically transportive in seeing these fantastic illustrations of life in far away places. The colors, mood, and feeling all come together to entice the eager traveller to get away. The following is an excerpt from the book that can be found in a section addressing the colorful 1920s called "Destinations."
Though post-WWI nationalism made international travel a little more complicated, improvements in train and ship lines gave it a stylish sense of luxury and adventure. The forward march of technology also made speed part of the thrill.
Graphic designers did their part to build desire for cities like Paris and London with elegant posters that glamorized both destinations and their inhabitants-who all seemed to wear the latest fashions. Resorts like Nice and Vichy also benefitted from such marketing: resort towns that relatively few had heard of became worldwide household names.
The color language found in travel posters of the day frequently employed the coppery tones of suntans and the warm neutrals of sand and sunlight. Silvery greens gave elegant life to oceans and rivers, and olives and browns to the landscape.
A Prescription For Green
July 16, 2013 § 1 Comment
July 15, 2013
For most people a green path leads inevitably to thoughts of nature. Mother nature painted more green on earth than any other color. It is the hue of foliage, grass, and growing plants; of graceful sheltering trees, dappled meadow and clinging vines; the shade of forest and jungle. It is the color of the country as opposed to the city; the romance of Robin Hood, wood urchins, elves, gnomes, and leprechauns; the pride of the Irish patriot and St. Patrick's Day.
The sight of green is inexorably linked to the sense of smell-freshly mown lawn, pine needles, and wet leaves after a sudden summer shower, a splash of lime and a crushed sprig of mint. Because our sense are intertwined, scents and colors are inevitably tied, one sense suggesting a specific color to another. We can look at a bottle of perfume and sense how it will smell before we sniff it. We can't help but associate a green fragrance with freshness and nature.
Most everyone knows how our endorphins kick in when we do something physical, like taking a walk in the woods filled with greenery. And there is much evidence to support the effect of green around us, including studies that tell us that being surrounded by green encourages us to breathe slowly and deeply, slowing the production of stress hormones. We certainly all need that in today's fast-paced world.
The Japanese have been using a technique called "Shinrinyoku" or "forest bathing." It's not about taking a bath in the forest in the usual sense, but more about encouraging healthy lifestyles and reducing stress. Experts in that country also believe that forest bathing can improve the immune system. So it's not just about eating your greens, but surrounding yourself with green—a worthy prescription for well-being.
From Personal Shopper To Color Consultant Extraordinaire!
June 27, 2013 § Leave a comment
June 27, 2013
I have been seeing more articles about personal shopping gaining in popularity and since that "attaches" itself to color/image consulting, I thought it would be a great time for me to talk about how I got my own consultation business rolling.
When I first started, I did various aspects of personal image and color consulting. I found out that once you have a client in one area and they develop a confidence in your abilities to help them, you can offer them other services, such as closet organizing (and who doesn't need that!?), even color in their interiors. They, in turn, can recommend you to friends to keep a consulting service growing. All of this can fall under one umbrella and eventually expand into color consulting for consumer products, as it did for me. Training is necessary to hone these specific skills, but it can start very simply with personal/image consulting and/or personal shopping.
Dana Hall, Divisional VP of Sales and Service at Holt Renfrew stores in Canada, shares some thoughts on personal shopping. "The most important aspect of personal shopping is the relationship and trust built between the client and the staff, Hall says. She recalls instances where personal shoppers visited a client's house to go through their existing wardrobe, sent merchandise to a customer at their office or home, hosted a private designer appearance, or attended a fashion shows with clients."
It is through this kind of trust that other opportunities could arise. As has been the case with me.
While the link is mostly about department store services, personal shopping is a job opportunity that could lead to doing color consulting, closet organizing, expanding contacts or eventually going out on your own.
Color informs, brings instant comprehension, calls attention, delivers information, and creates an identity. This is true in all aspects of life whether personally or on a larger scale for product development.
Do you have a passion for color? Have you ever considered a career in color consulting?
Inorganic Blue Keeping Your Home Cool In The Future
May 23, 2013 § 3 Comments

This is really exciting news. I wonder how long it will be before we see the practical application of this new blue pigment. Some laboratory testing involves outcomes that are not always planned. The following is from a northwestern university very close to my home state of Washington.
"An accidental discovery in a laboratory at Oregon State University has apparently solved a quest that over thousands of years has absorbed the energies of ancient Egyptians, the Han dynasty in China, Mayan cultures and more – the creation of a near-perfect blue pigment.
Through much of recorded human history, people around the world have sought inorganic compounds that could be used to paint things blue, often with limited success. Most had environmental or durability issues. Cobalt blue, developed in France in the early 1800s, can be carcinogenic. Prussian blue can release cyanide. Other blue pigments are not stable when exposed to heat or acidic conditions.
But chemists at OSU have discovered new compounds based on manganese that should address all of those concerns. They are safer to produce, much more durable, and should lead to more environmentally benign blue pigments than any being used now or in the past. They can survive at extraordinarily high temperatures and don't fade after a week in an acid bath."

Blue Dye: A Historical Perspective And A Discovery
April 3, 2013 § Leave a comment
April 3, 2013
We know that most people who love learning about color are particularly fascinated by the history and background of various hues. Let's have a quick lesson on blue and culture from my book Colors For Your Every Mood.
It was not until 4500 B.C. in Mesopotamia that blue emerged as a decorative hue. Brilliant blue threads were used in ancient Peruvian embroideries circa 800 B.C. While thousands of miles away, blue was used in linen fabrics found in the caves of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Indigo replaced woad in importance as a dye in the Middle Ages because it proved to be more hardy and reliable. It also made blue a more available color. Marco Polo was fascinated by the production of indigo in India where it was produced in great quantities and its quality desired. The color was extracted by plucking out a species of the herb by the roots, putting it into tubs of water and other ingredients and leaving it to rot. The reality of this glamorous color, admired by all the world, was some very labor and animal-intensive effort. The tubs of water containing the dye were also filled with a mixture of fruits, wood ash, or putrefied urine (camel urine was specially effective!) The dye-bath was actually a pale yellow, but oxidation eventually turned the textiles to blue.
Now take a look at what a new discovery has revealed about the Maya and their secret recipe for blue.
It Has Been Said That Purple People Are Easy To Live With But Hard To Know.
March 25, 2013 § 1 Comment

As we all know, color is a fundamental element in makeup choice, specifically the undertone of the makeup. To better understand undertone it is important to note that there are essentially three general classifications: warm, cool or neutral. Undertones denote an underlying color within any given hue.
With my Color Clock system every Colortime® palette has warm, cool and neutral colors, even though AM (Sunrise) tones are predominantly cool, PM (Sunset) tones predominantly warm, and Midday (Sunlight) is a balance of both.
The other day I read an article featuring Bobbi Brown on Ellemagazine.com where she talks about her new Lilac Rose Collection. Brown states that "The Lilac Rose Collection isn't just about purple. It features dusty pinks and heather grays, which are more natural shades of purple and are perfect for creating a feminine smoky eye. Plus, these shades have blue undertones, so they look flattering on all skin tones."
Brown believes that a blue base of undertone is flattering to all skin types. This is a very interesting concept when there are actually three different undertones possible. But makeup, as we all know, is about experimentation and in the end, you really need to try before you buy to be certain that it's going to work for you. And there are ways to "crossover" into any of the three classifications for special effects, which are discussed in my book, More Alive With Color.
My dear friend and colleague Judith August wrote a book called Gotcha Covered! The Compact Guide to Camouflage Makeup where she shares her makeup tips and techniques for using makeup to cover or hide areas that you may not want to be seen. In her book she has a whole chapter called Neutralizers and How They Work where she too sings the praises of Lavender as well as peachy orange and pink.
Judith suggests using lavender liquid foundation as a "neutralizer to even out discoloration. Lavender acts like a neutralizer blending the different areas and creating an even palette." Pink is Judith's secret weapon. She believes that "the surprising effect of the color pink is its ability to help us look 10 years younger."
What do you think? Have you found that lavender is flattering on your skintone? Do you have the perfect shade of pink? What are some of your secret makeup weapons?
My advise is to let your Colortime® palette guide you to the best cosmetic colors for you. Click here to find out more about the Color Clock and Colortime®.

Rate shown is based on the monthly rate for an oceanfront site.
Let's face it folks, it's only about the ocean and beach that's right there. This is no resort by any means. No swimming pool, just the beach. WiiFi is terrible and through no fault of the owner, Verizon service is poor.
Employees seem friendly but the owner just cruises around in his Lexus ignoring his customers. - f94

Yes, it is a lot of money. But the statement "location, location, location" certainly applies here. We had an oceanfront space. The front of our motorhome was inches from the walkway on top of the sea wall. To spend time just being able to look at the ocean from the front window is excellent. Multiple stairs going down to the beach, which is kept very clean. Everyone was nice and helpful. We do not need large paved areas to enjoy a park. Here the ocean is the draw, and cannot be beat on the east coast. - nrhareiner

Stayed here on an oceanfront site which had spectacular views of the beach and ocean. Sites are extremely close and we could not open our awning although not that big of a deal. You are paying for the ocean views which are great. Staff here was extremely friendly and helpful. The camp store is well stocked and all the facilities are clean. There is no pool, but the ocean is just feet away. We will stay here again. - Jgrif72

This is a quiet park not far from the beach in a small town loaded with many good places to eat. It is only a short trip to St. Augustine or Jacksonville for some wonderful sightseeing. The park is well maintained and a comfortable place to spend some time. - tcurex
Mar 2015 - $65.00
Nice location hidden from the highway, a short drive to town and the beach. Grocery and gasoline not far.
Did not have laundromat, but it was under construction when we were there.
WiFi is limited and there is a fee.
Has a very tiny little amount of supplies for sale.
There is a "bar" that sometimes has entertainment.
There is a fenced dog park. Not well maintained, so watch your step.
Some people live here full-time it appears.
Some sites are configured in such a way that campers face each other.
Made advance reservations, but they did not honor the price I was quoted and raised our rates, too late for us to make other arrangements. - Umbrella
Mar 2015 - $35.00
This is a tired park, with little evidence of maintenance being performed. The entrance is incredibly difficult to navigate because of a stone divider. There are large oak trees offering shade and was, at one time, a lovely setting. This is no longer true. Once in the park, the roads are in deplorable condition. I have owned a motorhome for over 30 years and have never been in park with roads a bad as these. I don't think they could be called pot holes since they go all the way across the road; great large holes in the road. Saw one man with a boat trailer he was having to jack up to get out because he had bottomed out. This place could cause some serious damage to a rig. This was not a pleasant experience. - work no more

This place is a zoo! We were even there during the week when it wasn't very busy. Although they advertise waterfront sites, they are occupied by long term visitors. There's a biker bar across the street, so it's constantly LOUD. There's also a run down mobile home park behind the bar with a lot of riff raff. All night long we heard motorcycles roaring, dogs barking and car doors slamming. Our neighbor was robbed of 4 fishing poles; the police were called to the property to stop a fight; and there were 2 homeless guys roaming the campground. It seemed like everyone had dogs, and most of them were not leashed or cleaned up after. The campsites were about 1 foot deep in sand and there were cigarette butts everywhere. The sites were also back-in and very tight to maneuver. The bathrooms were filthy and full of bugs. We could not wait to leave! We stayed there in our travel trailer. - camperhound
Dec 2008 - $55.00
Yes, it's like a parking lot, but you can hear the ocean!! We opted to pay extra for a spot close, but the beach is not a long walk from any site. For us, being able to walk on the beach with our dog (leashed, of course) is a major plus. Maybe when more crowded it would be less enjoyable, but we'd definitely try it again! We really like it! Folks in office are friendly & helpful. - Tiger
Jan 2008 - $40.00
I've stayed here several times. It is basic, no frills and a lot cheaper that all others but most of all IT'S ON THE OCEAN. They are usually booked up with Snowbirders in Jan, Feb & March. They do have 3 sites that are the most expensive, right on the ocean & are daily or weekly only. The Snowbirders are quiet and friendly. Pets are allowed even on the beach. The ocean is 200 ft away. I will go back. Showers/bath house is basic & clean. There is a w/d. It is very close to excellent dining. I believe there is Internet connection in the office. - loub213

Beautiful beach, wonderful surf, lots of road noise and sand. Sites fairly wide but most are best for 32 feet long or less. Large trailers and 5ers will have trouble backing in because the road is fairly narrow. Electric good, water a little weak, just adequate for a shower in our rig. No shade at all. Verizon MiFi and cell worked great. Not much beach at high tide, beautiful at low tide. Can't see the ocean from most sites, but the sound of the surf at night after the traffic subsides will cause us to return. - Phaetonman

Great, right behind the first dune, 100' to the beach. Even though your between A1A and the ocean, road traffic is not an issue. We pulled in forward and had a frontal view of the ocean. Site was raked and in fantastic shape. Palmetto between sites gave good privacy. Free air TV had 50+ channels. The High Tide grill was a 10 minute walk north on the beach and had acceptable frozen seafood for lunch on the beach. - Crawdot

You´ll find this Chapel, owned by the Penetsdorfer Family, in the hamlet of Hinterschützing. Unfortunately, this Chapel is not open to the public. It was erected on the confluence of two streamlets in 1987 to substitute an older one that had to be removed for river control reasons. The new Chapel was consecrated on May 31, 1987 and restored in April 2002.
