Every single one of you are WRONG, WRONG AND VERY INCORRECT.
There is nothing unhealthy about the 4 Phases of Atkins. It is not a NO carb diet. It is a controlled carb way of life.
The way Atkins was orginally intended (before Dr Atkins passed away) was with the consumption of WHOLE and ORGANIC foods. Pick up the 2002 edition of the book and read it. You will find how much you are all wrong with the myths and lies you are spouting here.
Phase 1 - Takes out all carbs, except for a long list of Vegetables and Protein. You eat 20 grams of carbs in the form of Vegetables. This is done to rid your body of cravings for sugars and starches.
Phase 2 - This is where you start adding in more veggies higher in carbs and start adding in fruits, grains, beans, legumes, dairy and alcohol according to the Carb ladder (which is based on the glycemic index). You add in 1 category of foods at a time to check to see if you have any food intolerances.
Phase 3 - Pre-maintenance. You find the MAXIMUM carb count your body can handle and weight loss slows down so you can start learning to maintain.
Phase 4 - Lifetime Maintenance.............
Before you come on a public weight loss forum with the myths and lies about any eating plan. DO THE RESEARCH - READ THE BOOK FOR YOURSELF.

Wow... I should probably keep my mouth shut, but I think everyone is being a little harsh on littlegreenone... First of all, I was on the carb diet for 9 months and it affected my memory and learning processes for a long time after I quit. I'm not saying that would happen to everyone, but it happened to me.
Secondly, I believe that each person has different nutrition and diet needs. There is not one single way to do this correctly. We have to follow our instincts, see what works best with our OWN body.
Third... This is simply a forum. Ideas are shared and each and every individual has the responsibility to interpret what they read and reasearch the facts. Never believe everything you read. That's ridiculous. Especially when it comes to your own body. Everyone is different.
Personally, I have enjoyed hearing different viewpoints and suggestions. I do my research ane experiment to see what works for me. In the end, my diet / lifestyle is a mix and match of many different suggestions and ideas.

Don't believe the hype!
I would also like to add that, while there are plenty of Atkins brand products available, the book does not suggest or even recommend that they be purchased. They are designed as convenience products meant to be used infrequently in a diet made largely from fresh, whole, natural foods. In one version of the book, Dr. Atkins even gives the ingredients of his multivitamin so that readers can get the ingredients of that vitamin from other sources (I found that GNC Men's Mega was very close in most of the ingredients and much cheaper). I don't use any of the Atkins brand products and the diet is working wonderfully for me.
stats, inspired by Ron
Male, 6'0" tall, 37 y/o
Starting weight, 4/19/10 (started Atkins) = 287
6/16/10 (finished Atkins book & joined Fitday) = 261
latest weight 7/21/10 = 248.5
mini goal (wedding) 9/4/10 = 235
ultimate goal for lifetime maintenance by 4/19/11 (one year mark, 100 pounds loss) = 187
This will be my lightest weight since high school!

Humans are omnivore., We're designed to basically be able to eat whatever food is available to us and survive off it. If from this point on all we could ever eat was meat we would live fine off it. The same goes for grain foods or just fruits and vegetables If that's all we had available to us to eat we would live fine off it as well.
now as for atkins when you're beyond the first two weeks of induction it's the same as just about any other diet out there. It's a balance of natural and healthy whole foods with minimal refined sugars and processed foods.

I agree with Pixie, specifically on point #3. I'm not really into some of the negative and emotionally-charged comments I've seen on the forums in general lately. Getting upset and informing someone of their "complete lack of ignorance" [sic] is not progressing the conversation, nor is it informative for those of us stumbling upon a particular thread for the first time. A single person's experience does not translate to all those who utilize these forums and voicing an opinion respectfully and calmly certainly does no one harm. There are many ways to lose weight, get healthy, and -- most importantly! -- feel good.
Incidentally, I happen to be an archaeologist specializing in paleolithic arctic cultures and from that bias/perspective I would advise skepticism toward the so-called Paleo Diet/Primal Blueprint as it is "packaged". Before you jump all over me, all I mean by this is that these diets, as products, are not what they claim to be -- Grok (i.e. paleolithic humans) gained nourishment, sometimes incomplete, from an unbelievably wide variety of food sources and many of the macronutrient percentages given in the variations of this diet are not always what a "standard" (if there were such a thing) hunter-gatherer would consume. If I had to generalize, most paleolithic peoples partook in a seasonal round, a "migration" of sometimes extraordinary scale, in order to exploit resources available at different times of the year. This is especially true of arctic peoples, as seasonal resource availability so pronounced. The misconception that arctic peoples subsisted almost solely on animal fat and protein is partially based on the archaeological record, which is biased toward preservation of faunal (animal) remains rather than floral (plant-based). Historic accounts, while amazingly detailed, are also biased � simply put, Jesuit missionaries and intrepid explorers were looking for differences rather than similarities to their own cultures. Consumption of seal oil and five year old fermented fish heads would certainly turn up on their radar while marine grasses and berries would not! In any case, the Inuit are an extreme example. As a general rule, "primitive" diets become more carbohydrate rich and nutritionally varied the closer you get to the equator. Paleo diet gurus (who often are hawking books and supplements in addition to the diet itself) would like us to believe there are some foods we can't or shouldn't eat, however paleolithic humankind in all its variation is proof positive that we are nothing if not adaptable. Furthermore, these diets, though they claim to be based on current research, are riddled with what I would consider "old school" anthropological thought (optimal foraging theory, for example). Anyway, just some "food" for thought (haha! I'll be here all night!). As 135 touched on, I'm certainly not saying that the Primal/Paleo type diet will not help you feel better, lose weight, or even become healthier (any diet can do that -- just ask a vegan), but the anthropologist in me feels compelled to point out that there's no "one way" we're supposed to eat, feel, or live.

Well put Sailordoom!!! While I'm not an archeologist, I do love a good documentary or book on Paleolithic theory. Whenever I come across a theory on eating "like they did 500 or 5,000 years ago", I think to myself that it may sound plausible on the surface but what to we really know about what they ate? We know about some of the animal bones and/or shells found in trash dump sites and we might find seeds of some sort, but I would bet we can't even begin to fathom many of the foods they ate or the processes by which they prepared them. It's also quite possible they ate things we would be repulsed by like insects, larvae, maybe even dung or toenails. Even in reading accounts of North American settlers, it's very clear they ate seasonally, and rarely consumed enough fruits and vegetables by today's standards.
So like you, I remain somewhat skeptical over the absolute validity of those diets, although I suspect there are good points to all of them. I practice something very simple for choosing the foods we eat, basically if I can grow it, raise it and/or shoot it, there's a good chance it will turn up on our table. However, anything full of sugar, chemicals or ingredients I can't pronounce is out of the question.

Asking what's the best diet is like asking what's the best religion. You're going to get a lot of passionate responses that will often directly conflict with one another, and no one answer is right or wrong. At the heart of the matter there are some basic truths (on the food side: cook it yourself, avoid chemicals and prepackaged foods, know what you're eating) but in the end it's about individual choice and what works best for you personally.
If I keep starting over, eventually it will stick, right?

Glad to see there are some people here who actually know the truth about Atkins. Atkins is not the fat soaked, eat a pound of bacon and a dozen eggs for breakfast, diet that the misinformed and media have promoted in the past. Lioness gave a very good overview of Atkins. Our diets are not carb deficient. We're just choosy about which carbs we eat.
I've tried just about every diet out there and was unsuccessful at all of them. I was constantly hungry, headachy, tired and just plain miserable. I also had madly fluctuating blood sugar levels. About 8 years ago I lost 70 pounds on Atkins...and have kept it off. My cholesterol levels went down to normal. My blood sugar levels went from over 400 to about 100...within one month. Once my body rid itself of the carb overload, I had more energy than I knew what to do with and the foggy, constantly fatigued mental state declined.
There is no one right diet for everyone. We each of our own unique needs and it's up to us to find the right diet that works for us and that we can live with for the rest of our lives.

That's thanks, in part, to the Trained In Terre Haute program.
Local runners get together and start working out in January to get ready for the half marathon.
Nearly 40,000 runners will participate in the event, but you don't have to be a veteran runner to take part. Runners of all ages and experience participate in the festivities. Some even walk the race.
Jonathan Peets is a member of Trained In Terre Haute and he says having the support can really help.
The mini marathon starts Saturday in downtown Indianapolis at 7:45 A.M.

Capacity mapping of national ethics committees in the Eastern Mediterranean Region
Alaa Abou-Zeid

[Hide abstract]
Ethics issues in the areas of science, technology and medicine have emerged during the last few decades. Many countries have responded by establishing ethics committees at the national level. Identification of National Ethics Committees (NECs) in the Eastern Mediterranean (EM) region and the extent of their functions and capacity would be helpful in developing capacity building programs that address the needs of these committees. Accordingly, we conducted a survey to determine the characteristics of existing NECs in the EM region. We developed a questionnaire to collect information on different aspects of NECs. The questionnaire was sent to the WHO country office in each of the 22 Member States in the EM region. We used descriptive statistics to analyze the data. We obtained responses from 77% (17/22) of the EM countries; 88% (15/17) of the countries stated they had NECs. Of these NECs, 40% (6/15) were involved in the ethics of science and technology, 73% (11/15) in medical ethics, and 93% (14/15) in medical research ethics; 10 NECs stated they reviewed research protocols. Of the respondent NECs, 25% (4/15) met at least on a monthly basis. Regarding training, 21% of the members from all of the NECs had received formal training in ethics; 53% (8/15) of the NECs had none of their members with formal training in ethics. Regarding support, 33% (5/15) received financial support and 60% (9/15) had administrative support. While many countries in the EM region report the existence of NECs, many meet infrequently, many have members without formal training in ethics, and many lack important financial and administrative resources. Further efforts should be directed towards capacity building programs that include ethics training and provision of important infrastructure resources for these committees.

Ethical Practices for Health Research in the Eastern Mediterranean Region of the World Health Organization: A Retrospective Data Analysis

[Show abstract]
[Hide abstract]
Commentators have expressed concern regarding the existence of proper ethics review systems in developing countries. Our aim is to explore the extent with which investigators from countries in the Eastern Mediterranean (EM) Region consider several ethical practices in the conduct of their research. Investigators from 12 countries in the EM region submitted 143 proposals involving Public Health and Biotechnology & Genomics to a grant scheme funded by the Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office of the WHO and the Organization of Islamic Conference Standing Committee for Science and Technological Cooperation in 2006. The grant application included a 1-page questionnaire that asked investigators 1) whether ethical clearance was obtained, 2) whether they plan to obtain informed consent, and 3) whether confidentiality of human subject data would be ensured. The methodologies of the submitted researches were categorized as to whether it involved 1) human subject research (e.g., the prospective collection of biological specimens or the performance of qualitative research), 2) research that could be exempt from ongoing ethics review, and 3) research not involving human subjects. A descriptive analysis was used to analyze the investigators' responses and a chi-square analysis was used to analyze categorical variables. Of the 79 submitted proposals determined to involve "human subjects", ethical clearance was not obtained in 29%; investigators thought that informed consent was not needed in 29%; and investigators did not mention that they would ensure confidentiality of the obtained data in 8% of the studies. The magnitude of these deficiencies was similar regardless of study design type, i.e., prospective collection of biological samples and qualitative research methods. These results suggest that attention to ethical safeguards is not optimal among investigators in the EM Region. Further guidelines for strengthening ethical review systems, as well as enhanced educational training in concepts of research ethics for investigators are warranted in this region.

the candle shop. There is
not one of them that smells
good to everyone."
George Singleton has published four collections of stories (These People Are Us, The Half-Mammals of Dixie, Why Dogs Chase Cars, Drowning in Gruel) and two novels (Novel, Work Shirts for Madmen). He's published over 100 stories in magazines and literary journals such as The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, Zoetrope, Playboy, The Georgia Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, and Shenandoah. His work has been anthologized often. He's taught on the secondary, post-secondary, and graduate levels, and the mistakes made and questions posed by his students inspired his book Pep Talks, Warnings, and Screeds: Indispensable Wisdom and Cautionary Advice for Writers.
Interview conducted by Lauren Mosko Bailey.
you find you started to
speak and write
aphoristically at
inappropriate times? How
did this make you feel?
The good surgeon knows where to cut, but the good mechanic knows his or her bearings. So, yes, to the question. It's driving me (more) insane.

There are many candles in the candle shop. There is not one of them that smells good to everyone. There is not one of them that smells bad to everyone, either. A story might not be for one editor or reader, but it might be for another.
yourself repeating over and
over to your students?
I have good students, so it only takes about four weeks for me to say this: Shut up. Read this. Conflict, conflict, conflict.
and over to you?
"I can't write unless it's on my laptop." That's kind of all I can think about right now.
They seem to know better than to say something like, "It changes points of view because the character's bi-polar." I think they might know that I'll go bi-polar on them if they try to pull that one.
mistake that new writers
can make? What do you
think the corresponding
punishment should Ъе?
The worst thing I can think of is for a new writer to say, "I don't want to read anything, because it'll interfere with my voice." Maybe just as bad is a student who decides that he or she will only read preeighteenth-century literature from the canon.

Google to Add Spreadsheets
(GOOG - Get Report) will unveil a Web-based spreadsheet on Tuesday, the search giant's latest foray onto Microsoft's (MSFT - Get Report) turf. Google Spreadsheets, as the product is called, will be available on a test basis, according to a representative for the search company who added that the program is in "alpha," which generally means it is a fairly early version and will be available to a limited number of users on a first-come, first-served basis.Google purchased Writely, a company that offers a Web-based word processor, in addition to a Web-based calendaring application, earlier this year. None of the programs offers anything like the capabilities of Microsoft's Office, but the programs are free and are seen as the beginning of a trend away from the desktop-based applications dominated by Microsoft for more than a decade. Google's new application is designed for users who create basic spreadsheets that need to be shared or updated by several contributors, the company said. Unlike conventional spreadsheets which store data on the user's computer or on a corporate network, Google Spreadsheets stores data on a Google server accessible via the Internet. Google Spreadsheets will be available to a limited number of users on the Google Labs page at labs.google.com. Shares of Google close the regular session up $1.01 to $375.45; Microsoft shares closed up 4 cents to $22.54.Google

The cheerleaders of AshlAr High School wear their cute skimpy outfits with pride. They wear their pink skirts and blue shirt to trainings and to school. The skirts come with matching panties, in a comfortable nice and soft fabric. Wearing those panties has a couple of advantages, especially in a school where corporal punishments are still handed out on a day to day base. The girls get spanked in panties and the cheerleaders have the comfort of that soft fabric protecting their bottoms. Too bad for them it's only a handful of tutors that will leave that underwear up. It's drop down time for most.

Parker, AZ, USA - February 3, 2014
Vildosola Racing packed up and headed North to Parker, Arizona, USA, for the Best in the Desert Parker 425, the first race of the 2014 season. After battling the deteriorated course, Tavo Vildosola brought the #21 BraNix Ford Raptor across the finish line in 2nd place, a perfect way to celebrate his birthday. Tavo qualified in the top 10 and would start the race 9th off the line. By the time he came in for his first pit stop after 142 miles, he had battled his way up three positions to 6th place. He continued to carry the same pace, climbing three more spots to come in for pit stop two running in 3rd. Taking off back on to the course, Tavo kicked up his speed to jump up one more spot and run in 2nd place for most of lap three, right on the tail of the leader. He continued to punch the gas and put on the pressure all the way through the finish, crossing the line just 10 seconds behind the leader, for a solid podium position of 2nd. Next, the team will head to San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico, for the 28th Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250.

The day after the Republican convention ended, Olbermann named John McCain the "Worst Person in the World." Olbermann lamented that when McCain suggested to Time magazine that Iraq is now a "peaceful and stable country," he revealed "a man suffering from at least one actual delusion, to say nothing of an utter disrespect for the meaning of the loss of life. It is not funny. It is shameful."
And MSNBC wants more "candid analysis."
After Barack Obama concluded his Athenian oration from Invesco Field in Denver, Olbermann and Matthews weren't glum. They were absolutely giddy. Olbermann was wowed: "For 42 minutes, not a sour note and spellbinding throughout in a way usually reserved for the creations of fiction. An extraordinary political statement." Matthews found a way to top that, and thumb conservatives in the eye: "You know, I've been criticized for saying he inspires me, and to Hell with my critics! ... In the Bible, they talk about Jesus serving the good wine last. I think the Democrats did the same."
The goo flowed like lava from a volcano over Barack's historic acceptance address. Restraining his thrilled leg, Matthews also announced: "It is an iconic night in history: We'll all remember this night as long as we live." Olbermann oozed that Obama was both Mandela and Gorbachev: "it happens as suddenly in some respects as the Soviet Union crumbled or apartheid was beaten in South Africa."
Outside of special events coverage, MSNBC's executives haven't really seen the light about how their Obamaholics Unanimous lineup is bad for ratings. Even as they yank Matthews and Olbermann away from the anchor desk, MSNBC's adding hard-left Air America radio host Rachel Maddow to consolidate the "progressive" carpet-bombing after dark. They think they're the Genius Channel. In a gooey Boston Globe puff piece on Maddow, MSNBC prime-time boss Bill Wolff declared his network is a brand for "high-powered intellects ... I'm not saying we're NPR, but there is an appetite for really smart discussion of the news."
And these people think John McCain is suffering from a delusion.

Chicago HDR 02 by delobboWatch

This ROCKS!! I've got to learn how to do this myself.
Sweet shot!
Sweet shot!
that's amazing!!
Absolutely amazing work.
God, I want to cry...my city is so beautiful...
Stunning night shot!
Nice! I gotta go down to the
Willis Tower and get some shot, how much do they charge going up there?
hey i dunno the rate now.. this was in 2007, it was the best $12.95 i ever spent!
Excellent !
omg! I get vertigo from this picture, so cool!
Man that's the real deal.
this is an awesome picture!
Brilliant shot...
really good.. it's hardly time to visit the USA...
Wow - so awesome
Gorgeous, I love how HDR can take the every-day and make it into something extraordinary! Nice work!
I've heard tripods aren't permitted in the Sears Tower. Did you still manage to bring one in or did you place your camera on a stable ledge or something for this?
that's correct.. no tripods. yes, I balanced the cam on the window ledges. Far from optimal HDR's, these could have been much better (clearer and sharper) with a tripod.
wow very awesome pics,,,how many times your capturing the photo for generating in photomatix,,,sorry for my language..hehehe

Michael Bush talks weather conditions at Soldier Field
By Evan Moore
Chicago Bears running back Michael Bush commented on the extreme weather conditions during Sunday's game on Comcast SportsNet's "Inside the Huddle."
Bush revealed what the team did during the nearly two-hour rain delay in Sunday afternoon's victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
"It wasn't too bad. We did a 10-minute routine in the locker room," Bush said. "But to me, the adrenaline is still pumping with a big game on the line, the guys were ready to go."
[MORE: Moon: Bears pass character tests in OT win over Ravens]
The Bears' No. 2 running back also discussed the condition of the field.
"It was tough. A lot of guys changed cleats to a thicker spike for traction," Bush said. "It was bad. It was real bad like skid marks on the field."
Despite the poor field conditions, the Bears pulled out a 23-20 victory in overtime.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Justin Bieber didn't give his full attention to his performance at the Victoria's Secret fashion show.
The 18-year-old singer admits he was partly distracted by the scantily-clad beauties at Wednesday (07.11.12) night's extravaganza in New York.
He said: ''I'm pretty focused. I'm like 98 percent focused. Two percent focus is on the chicks.''
While Justin is happily in a relationship with Selena Gomez, he didn't use the lingerie show as an opportunity to buy gifts for her.
He told 'Access Hollywood': ''No shopping for me.''
Meanwhile, Justin has announced he will be donating a percentage of ticket sales from a number of his 'Believe' tour dates to aid those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
He tweeted: ''chillin today. show day in Jersey tomorrow ... and proud to make this announcement.
''i have spoken to @AdamBraun from @PencilsofPromis and we donate a dollar of every ticket to charity from the #BELIEVEtour ... so ... We decided that for the Jersey, Brooklyn, and 2 MSG [Madison Square Gardens in New York] shows every ticket sold a dollar will be donated to Hurricane Sandy Relief.
''And all 4 shows are SOLD OUT so U are all helping us make a difference in the lives of those that need it right now. thanks. #GIVEBACK (sic)''

John Mayer Admits To Being "Just A Jerk" In Past Relationships
John Mayer admits to being "just a jerk" in past relationships. In an upcoming interview with CBS This Morning, this singer admits, "I was just a jerk" in past relationships. Mayer, who infamously referred to Jessica Simpson as "sexual napalm" in a 2010 sit-down, tells host Anthony Mason that he's now a changed man.
"It's very liberating when you finally realize it's impossible to make everyone like you," says the "Your Body Is A Wonderland" crooner. He adds, "I wanted everybody to like me. I thought I was one shuck and jive away in every direction." Mayer goes on to tell the morning show that dealing with the bad press from his overly-candid interviews was even worse than recovering from throat surgery and not being able to sing.

The acting icon began to cry after Katie Couric asked him, "Did you feel a greater responsibility about doing a film that [director David O. Russell] had so much personally invested in?" referring to the fact that Russell's own son has a mood disorder.
Russell's son Matthew plays the nosy next door neighbor whom De Niro chases out of the yard in the film). De Niro started, "Oh, of course, I understand what he…" before getting too choked up to continue. Cooper comforted De Niro by putting his hand on his costar's shoulder.

Chris Brown Faked Completing Community Service, DA To Pursue Case
Chris Brown faked completing community service, DA to pursue case. Prosecutors allege that Brown did not perform all of the community service he claims to have completed in Virginia in connection to his infamous Rihanna assault case. In the filed motion, the D.A. says there are "significant discrepancies indicating at best sloppy documentation and at worst fraudulent reporting" of Brown's supposed community service.
The shocking turn of events revolves around a letter sent by Richmond police chief Bryan T. Norwood last September, claiming Brown had completed 202 days of service — more than the 180 required by law. Brown purportedly worked at Tappahannock Children's Center, doing odd jobs, and also is said to have helped the city with "trash removal… public park clean up, washing City owned vehicles" and other tasks.

As Red belted out Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything For Love." the ad took a super-dark turn, as Naya and her pals started eating Red. But really, it's his own fault for being soymmy!.
"Red sings a love song to a girl who clearly wants more than just love," the video is captioned! "Photo shoot complete. Now off for some Super Bowl fun!" Naya tweeted earlier on Super Bowl Sunday. "Hahaha yay! So glad everyone caught the M&M commercial!" she added later during the game Click Here to Continue Reading »
Alicia Keys Belts National Anthem At Super Bowl 2013, Video
Alicia Keys belts National Anthem at Super Bowl 2013, video below. Alicia Keys sang the national anthem before Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday. The Grammy winner's rendition featured not just her voice, but also a piano performance. Seated at the piano in a sleeveless maroon gown, she delivered an excellent performance.
Keys sounded at times a bit raspy possibly due to being emotional, but it was a strong, confident and beautiful rendition. With the controversy, it was a rendition that had just enough subtle shakiness and imperfection to confirm that she was in fact singing it live and not to tape.

I have a 20 month old - My Feb 2011 little girl and a six year old girl that will be seven in January. Goodness help me, as much as I've sworn up and down that I am done, I'm actually considering #3.
I'm getting that I want a baby vibe, but I'm concerned. I'll be turning 35 next week and I've had two C-sections. I'm concerned that having a third at this point in my life might put a baby or me at risk.
Opinions? Advice?
I have to consider whether we can even afford a third both with respect to time and money, but my primary concern is my age at this point. I'd be having a baby at what? - 36? 37? Darn that sounds old. How did that happen?

Rated 5 / 5 stars
This song is awesome, it just makes you feel cool all over. Where can I find the lyrics so I can sing along?!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
idk but ska always sounded better to me in spanish. nothing againts this song just saying my opinion. i wanna hear this song live. nice song dude
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Solid tune
The sound quality may be a little sketchy at times, but it's got a slick horn line complimented by some skankin' guitar playing, topped off with a vocal style reminiscent of The Aquabats, guaranteeing a fun track for any fan of third-wave ska to listen to.
All in all a good track to listen to, I could easily picture myself skanking to this at a show.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
first saw this in the 50 frame collab 3. great job
Rated 5 / 5 stars
this song is possibly the most epic song ever

Two reports were released last week: The Baker-Hamilton Commission report on how to save the world; and the report of the House Ethics Committee on the Mark Foley disaster.
Baker-Hamilton had two main features: (1) It recommended things which everyone else had already recommended like getting the Iraqis to take greater military and political responsibility for their own future and (2) recommended things which are not going to happen, like asking the Iranians to play nicely with its neighbors.
For those who have forgotten that Iraq is but a battleground in the worldwide war on terror, let me quote a BBC program based upon a book by the great British historian Hew Strachan on an enemy's rationale for invading New York City:
"The East Coast is the heart of the US," the enemy is quoted as saying, "and this is where she is most vulnerable. By hitting her here we can force America to negotiate."
According to the program, "The scheme was driven by [the enemy's] resentment of American's power … He believed in a militarist state and increasingly hated what the West stood for: 'Service to Mammon, greed, self indulgence, land grabbing, lying, treachery, and not least, murder,' he said."
"[The enemy] thought capitalism was vulnerable; that a strong enough attack on its international systems of trade, credit and insurance could bring the system crumbling down."
Reads like a passage from the Baker-Hamilton report on why Osama bin Laden hates us, doesn't it?
It is not. The program was about World War I (which, as we've discussed before was known, at the time, as "The Great War" because it wasn't until World War II that we decided we needed to number our World Wars) and was quoting a plan to attack the US which had been presented to Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1903.
The current enemy has the same goals as Kaiser Wilhelm had over 100 years ago: The destruction of America because of a poisonous distaste for what we bring to the world.
Anyone who thinks the answer to Iraq is putting the Humvees in reverse and declaring victory is wrong. There are people on the Earth who want to kill us (and I don't mean some vague, diaphanous "us." I mean you. And me.)
Trying to deal with the people who want to kill us in any manner but overwhelming force will result in this war being fought, again, in New York plus Kansas City, and Atlanta, and Los Angeles and every city and town in between.
The report of the House Ethics Committee on the Mark Foley business was at least as disturbing as Baker-Hamilton.
The official name of the Ethics Committee is "The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct."

- Detail Images
Gloves seemed like such a cool accessory at one time. As the miles have ticked by, our hands have hardened and our desire to feel the road has increased. We like the individual sensations of smooth asphalt, rough tar-and-chip, dirt, everything… through our hands. It feels more organic and our steering feels more precise. So we like riding bare-handed, though there are occasions where we want a little crash protection for our hands. Castelli makes their S. Rosso Corsa Gloves for people who want just enough padding to take the sting out of the worst potholes in a package that feels natural and can be worn for long miles every day.
The palm is made of Pittards leather. Look around; you've seen this before and for good reason. Pittards is a soft, durable, washable leather that resists shrinking, drying and cracking like most other leathers. It feels great against the skin, and it sticks to handlebar tape even when wet. When it gets yucky, you can hand or machine wash without an issue (no dryers, please).
The palm has thin, strategically-placed, perforated gel inserts. The gel is for damping, the perforations for better sweat evaporation. The thumb is made of micro-fiber for wiping sensitive areas. The Velcro that secures the glove around your wrist is new Magic Velcro. This means the hooks grab the requisite loops, and are designed not to catch the diamond micromesh stretch backing (or the rest of the soft lycra in your kit when they're in the wash). To make tugging these mitts on and off easier, there's a pull tab at the bottom of the wrist.
The Castelli S Rosso Corso Gloves are available in Black, Red/black, and White/grey. Sizes run from Small to XX-Large.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Not durable, poor quality
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Fell apart after 3 months use. The pads on the palms opened up and padding fell out. Buying another brand.
Had the same problem, but after a year. Just bought a pair of gloves from Mavic...
Great gloves
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Great gloves with minimal padding, breath well and aren't obscenely branded. Seem to be holding up well so far.
Awesome Summer Glove
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
These fit and feel great! If you want a minimal lightweight, breathable glove, these are it!
Very comfortable gloves
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I have a red pair of the S. Rosso Corso Gloves and they are the most comfortable gloves I've come across. Soft suede, minimal gel pads for a direct feel. However, after about 1200 miles on them in high summer sun and 3 cold washes... the red has sun faded drastically and one of the seams came undone on the ring finger. I had my GF sew back up the seam on the finger, it's like new again but the red material has faded to the point it's a little embarrassing to wear and I somehow got a black stain on the top from having to change out a tube in the middle of a ride. Even after a few cold water washes they are still soft, comfy, and my preferred gloves. They are on sale 50% off full retail in the outlet with the code so I just ordered a pair of white ones to see if I can avoid the sun fade. They do leave an odd tan mark. :)
I have the same issues - red os fading and weird sun tank mark on the top of my hand and on the base of my thumbs. Besides that, very comfortable pair of gloves and does what is supposed to.
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I'm not sure if I like these or the Castelli Pro glove better. These don't have padding under the knuckles and the padding is less bulbous under the heel of your palm. So it gives a more direct feel to the bars. Love the suede feeling of the fabric.
Bad Quality
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
I have a lot of Castelli cycling gear and everything has held up great. I purchased these gloves expecting the same quality. I wore the gloves on a couple rides and the stitching started coming apart at the palm area. I called BC and they replaced the gloves with a second pair. I went on a ride with the second pair and my palms started hurting after a couple hours. I checked the gloves and discovered that the palm pads were sown wrong and so the inserts were bunching up inside. I ended up returning pair number 2 as well and choosing a glove from a different company. BTW, the first pair was Made in China, the second one if I remember right was made in El Salvador.
Very disappointed in Castelli with these gloves. If this was my first Castelli purchase I would not buy from them again.
The gloves WOULD BE VERY NICE if they held up and were made right. They are very soft and comfortable.
Great Gloves!
These are terrific gloves. Very soft and comfortable. One warning though. On sunny days, be mindful of the small holes on the sides and the opening on the back of the hand -- if you do apply sunblock to your hand, you will wind up with weird markings on your hands.
Don't leave home without them.
I wore these once and when I went to take them off the rubber flap pealed away from the fabric that holds on the velcro. I expected better quality from Castelli.
Same thing happened to mine and the leather ripped pulling them on near the wrist cuff...
Same here. Went thru 2 pairs of these. The first ones fell apart at the seams, the second one was stitched wrong at the palm pads and the pad would overlap when riding.
Very disappointing quality from Castelli.
Great Glove
These are the most comfortable gloves I have been able to locate over several years. I think they are superior to the Castelli Castelli Rosso Corsa Glove (Non-S) which I also have a pair of. The S. Rosso Corsa; are softer, conform to the hand better and have a velcro closure. I tried different colors of this same glove and found the white/grey version to be just a bit softer and more comfortable than the black or red. I've had them now for about one month and they are my favorites by far.

'Doctor Banner, welcome back.'
'Miss Potts, good morning.'
'What are you doing in the lobby? You know you can take the private elevator to the Avengers floors.'
'I-ah I wasn't sure I was still welcome after being away for so long.'
'You are always welcome, Bruce. I'm sure Tony will be thrilled to know you're here. I'm going up now, walk with me?'
'Of course.'
'So where were you this time, doctor? Tibet?'
'Ah-yes. I spent some time in a monastery treating an outbreak of scarlet fever.'
'The childhood illness?'
'Yeah, it's not really common in adults, but it does happen. It took longer than expected to get it under control. Which is why I haven't been able to come back until now. I – ah – I'm sorry I missed your birthday, I heard it was quite the party.'
'It was perfect, Tony got to throw a giant party to celebrate the birthday of his CEO and I got to stay home with a glass of wine and a good book.'
'Hm, sounds perfect indeed. I did get you a present – it made me think of you.'
'Bruce, there was no need. You know I –'
'You – don't like it? I'm sorry, there was a woman in the village and she poured her own silver pendants. I saw her working and –'
'Bruce, it's beautiful, really. Thank you. I'm just wondering why it made you think of me.'
'It's ah – something Tony said.'
'Ah, Tony.'
'He said you had a connection with strawberries – are you laughing?'
'I'm sorry, Bruce, the gift is perfect, really. Help me put it on? – You know, you should ask Tony about the whole story behind the strawberries sometimes.'
'Thank you for the wonderful gift, Bruce. Please remind Tony that he has an appointment at four. And I'll be joining you both for dinner. And, Bruce, I'm glad you're home.'
This is my first entry to :devthisaia:'s short story contest! It's actually also the first time I ever uploaded a story to DA, and the first time ever I did an all dialogue fic. Thisaia's contest was about writing a short story which at least mentions a piece of jewellery, either original or fan fic. This scene kind of popped into my head, just a tiny and funny piece between Bruce and Pepper. I hope I captured their characters a bit... And of course to get the joke you'd have to have seen Iron Man 2...
So yeah, what do you think?
So yeah, what do you think?

Lent begins today! Sign up today for a Lent devotional experience.
Ahab is still the unhappy subject of the sacred history; from the great affairs of his camp and kingdom this chapter leads us into his garden, and gives us an account of some ill things (and ill indeed they proved to him) relating to his domestic affairs. I. Ahab is sick for Naboth's vineyard, 1 Kgs. 21:1-4. II. Naboth dies by Jezebel's plot, that the vineyard may escheat to Ahab, 1 Kgs. 21:5-14. III. Ahab goes to take possession, 1 Kgs. 21:15-16. IV.

After a long internal period of debating back and forth due to my inactivity [and other various obstacles in my life], I made up my decision to leave.
It's a bit selfish to do, really. But all I can say is thank you guys for being there. I had a lot of fun joining role plays, seeing really amazing art, and meeting new friends there. I'm not really the best at describing my feelings and sometimes, I can be absurd at times, but I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. There were a lot of memories prior starting this account, and it pains for me to say goodbye to all of you guys. Maybe after all the chaos in my real life, I'll come back here just one more time.
p.s. april fools. I'm actually moving to a different account, magevn. This account will still be around. But really, thank you o/

Budding baritone horn player Chad Mitchell swelled his cheeks and pumped up the volume — helping add the jazz — during a spring concert at David A. Boody Intermediate School for Magnet Studies in Homecrest, June 3.
The aspiring Leonard Falcone was among a talented group of jazzists, percussionists, string players and vocalists who rocked the house, drawing claps and toe-taps from the rapt crowd, as they drew the school year to a close with a musical celebration in the auditorium of the school at Avenue S.
From rock to classics, the talented bunch wowed the crowd with a sweet medley of ear-pleasers, transforming the auditorium of the school on Avenue S and West Fourth Street into a mini-Lincoln Center.
The annual concert featured performances by the school's acclaimed symphony orchestra, symphony and jazz bands, and the "The Boody Keys" in addition to the David A. Boody Chorus, and the sixth grade band and string section. The groups have performed at some of the Big Apple's most prestigious venues, including Gracie Mansion and the Plaza Hotel.
The concert was the "highlight" of Boody's musical program because it culminated a year's worth of work by the clever crew, said Principal Dominick D'angelo.

Audrey Hepburn by neo-innovWatch

Very like the style!! And she's just pretty
Complètement fan et de tout ce que tu fais d'ailleurs
gorgeous! I love this style of art
Amazing! xx
adorable!you're so talented person!
Great Work!!
Magnifique <3
Beautiful and inspiring.
so inspired by your works! LOVE IT!
Good job. This looks like watercolor; it is said that watercolor paints itself if allowed.. The value flows down the face, all connected, even if it's a thin line. It appears that you've used red and blue as the only colors.
Even more beautiful!!!!
... wow ...
your work is amazing .. digital ?
So simple and so emotive. Beautiful.
Your technique..
You should make some tutorials using this technique, they'd be worth watching.

oh i love this one
me likey
absolutely gorgeous
We're working on contour lines / implied lines in my drawing class right now and this is inspiring.
Oh I love this! I could see putting this up in my living room. Excellent job.
That's a delightful piece. You have a wonderfully spontaneous style!
Incredible !
Beautiful work. I'd have to think more about Miss Hepburn to see her in this but that's not what makes this piece for me. She definitely lives in this piece through the simple wild joy in the smile and the eyes... even in the colors you used. I love the corner of her mouth and the eyelashes... very nicely done.
i live this style of painting
Just amazing!
Pretty awesome !!!!!!!!!
beautiful, and you know it
