What's the buzz from the world of sports? Here are some items that will have people talking:
Do you want to see the play that was the buzz of the high school state basketball tournaments last week at the Tacoma Dome?
The court-length basket by Union's Jordan Chatman is now on the web. Just go to: www.columbian.com.
You have to see it to believe it.
We think it should have been worth four points.
The Cubs have been too tired for the past 100 or so years. Yeah, that must be it.
Chicago's new GM, Theo Epstein, is insisting his players get proper rest this year. He does not expect his players to be out all night at the clubs or whatever else young millionaires do late night.
Apparently, this will be the key to getting the Cubs to their first World Series title since 1908.
If anyone should know how to turn around a loser, it would be Epstein. He was in charge when the Red Sox finally won a World Series. Then the won another one.
However, we believe it had more to do with the talent on the field rather than sleep patterns.
We find it hard to believe that Manny Ramirez, Johnny Damon, Kevin Youkilis, and David Ortiz were tucked into bed by 11 o'clock each night.
Maybe 11 in the morning, but not at night.
The plot thickens.
Did you hear that former Colts coach Tony Dungy said that Peyton Manning first hurt his neck in 2006 against the Washington Redskins? Dungy said this back in September, just talking about Manning. He said there was a specific play when Manning's head got twisted, a little extra twist in his opinion, after a big hit.
So why does this matter?
Because Gregg Williams was the defensive coordinator of the Redskins back then. The same Gregg Williams who reportedly has used "bounty" systems in his career, paying players to "take out" opponents.
Would be really interesting if a bounty played a role in cutting short a career of one of the all-time greats.

143 Tasting Notes
The sticky rice description is incredibly accurate. If the whole sipping a hot liquid thing didn't give it away, I'd probably think I was eating lightly sweetened sticky rice.
On a side note, I think I'm coming down with something. My sinuses were really bothering me earlier today and I could barely pick out specific flavour notes between the two shus I had today. Bleh.
No rating because I think I've given up on doing numerical ratings at this point, since recalibrating previous reviews is a pain.
I can probably count on one hand the companies I get my flavoured teas from, and Butiki is one of them. After reading all the rave reviews of this, I added it to my wishlist and it sat there for a long time until I read about Butiki's eventual closing.
Somehow a package filled with tea showed up on my doorstep last week. No idea how that happened.
I had a rather hectic week, so I didn't get around to trying anything in it until yesterday, when I pulled this one out at random. Three teaspoons, 12 oz water at 200 F, and I had dessert in a cup.
One thing I love about Butiki's flavoured teas is how the flavouring really complements the base tea. I didn't get much in the way of bananas, but the coconut and buttery toffee went deliciously well with the honey and caramel of the Premium Taiwanese Assam base. And my room smelled like cookies.
I'm very tempted to get more before it's gone for good. There's something so comforting about this tea.
Got this from a while back but only had it a few times. Lovely, buttery texture. Lightly floral and slightly vegetal with a hint of savouriness.
To be honest, since I got this I discovered that I'm not a huge fan of floral notes in my teas (which is why I'm choosing to not rate it). Otherwise, this is an excellent tea for lovers of Anxi tieguanyin. Personally, I find it a bit too green for my taste, but I'm glad to have tried it. I do like the texture.
Light, sweet, with some slight woodiness. Mouthwatering aftertaste. I have no idea why I sometimes think I taste the tiniest hint of banana in this. (The last time this happened, it was more prominent and with Mandala's 2009 Bulang Gong Ting shu but I don't think the leaves are from the same region…)
The first time I brewed this, I used my 150 ml gaiwan. It tasted pretty good, but I wasn't getting much of an aftertaste or the "mellow sweetness" mentioned in the description. It didn't really impress me, to be honest.
I decided that I wanted a mug of tea earlier tonight, rather than multiple little cups. Normally, I go for flavoured teas or black teas at this hour (caffeine doesn't really affect me, which is a blessing as a tea drinker and a curse as a student) but for mysterious and unknown reasons I reached into my box of pu'er samples instead and randomly pulled out a pouch.
So, I brewed it with my infuser and mug (quick rinse x2, 5 second steep). I must have messed up with the ratios in my gaiwan the first time around, because I can certainly taste the sweetness and mouthwatering aftertaste now! Definitely a huge departure from the earthy, dark shus I usually prefer.
This tea sends me into a very happy place.
I probably should not have had it at 11 PM. I might not be able to sleep.
In which case, I'll take the newfound energy I have and continue tackling the neverending readings I have.
Brewed with my new gaiwan, 10 second steeps.
Did you get this from Mandala? I bought 2 of this cake from them, their storage of this cake is excellent. Really like this cake and I don't expect the current price to stay so low once other purveyors sell out of this.
Yep! I tried a sample from them a few months ago and wound up getting 2 cakes not long after. So glad I did. I think they've sold out of them now. (Which might be a good thing for my wallet/limited apartment space, haha.)
I think this is the third Darjeeling I've ever had. The first was from years ago and I remember thinking it was okay. The second was a sample of Castleton Moonlight Oolong or something last year. I remember liking it, but not enough to compel me to immediately place an order.
Anyway, I didn't really take notes of it as I was drinking it earlier today, but I did enjoy it and resteeped it another time. Couldn't taste anything apple-y like the other notes mentioned, but it was a nice, comforting brew with a light astringency near the end. I definitely do want to explore more Darjeelings eventually (pu'er and a few aged oolongs are mostly taking up my attention at the moment).
Best thing ever.
Basically, I drink so much tea that I kept breaking cheap (under $30) electric kettles every year/year and a half. After going through my third one (the base leaked water and it became an electric hazard), I figured I'd save up over the summer for one of these and wound up getting it a little before classes started, which was almost two weeks ago. I'll try to remember to update this over time.
So far, no complaints. I picked this one (instead of the 3L Champagne Gold model) due to its larger capacity and vaccum-electric hybrid, which is supposed to help reduce electricity consumption (which would hopefully lead to a slightly lower electric bill than if I'd gotten the 3L model). The music notification irritated me, but pressing and holding the "Unlock" button for several seconds can set it to Beep or Silent mode, so I set it for the former.
There are three temperature settings (in F): 208, 195, 175, and a Vaccum Insulation-only mode.
The only two things I want to point out:
It always boils water first, then lets it cool to the temperature specified. This is probably the only big flaw I can see for tea drinkers who want to make the most out of their water by only letting it heat up to the temperature they want and not go over that.
For college/grad students (or people who do a lot of moving and live in small spaces like studio or efficiency apartments): This is kinda big. Not massive, but definitely a little bigger than I expected (it has a 4L capacity, after all). But it shouldn't be too hard to find a box for it if you don't have the original and need to move. And it's not oddly shaped like a gooseneck kettle, which is a huge plus when it comes to packing.
Awesome review, was wondering how this thing actually works. Seems like it would take up an additional room all to itself! 4 L is obscenely huge and incredibly tick. I think the boil then cool is the way to go, it follows the method for Japanese tea, and would also boil off any odd tastes and stray bacteria in the water. If the local water supply goes bad you would be all set for that too!
How long does it take to heat the water? I downloaded the Owner Manual from the website and it said 35-40 minutes! Seriously?? Is that true?
It boils for a few minutes before the "done" notification sounds. From my experience, it takes around 30 minutes to go from cold tap water to a "done" boil beep. I've taken to unplugging and refilling it with room temperature water after the water level drops a little under 1L. It seems to take around 15-20 minutes to get to the "done" beep then. You can dispense water at any time as it's heating up though.
Wow, I guess this product isn't for me then. I've heard such great things about it but I don't want to wait 30 minutes just for boiling water. I guess it's convenient for re-steeps? Anyway, thanks for writing back!
Oh, sorry if I wasn't clear earlier— it keeps the water at the specified temperature (mine's currently at the hottest, 208F) after the water heats up. So once the water's boiled you don't need to reboil/reheat it until it's time to refill (or if you use the insulation-only mode). There's a turn-on reboil timer that you can set in any mode, though I've really only ever used it when I kept it in the insulation-only mode. I'd set it at night and tell it to start heating up when I wake up so that I could have a cup of tea after my shower.
It's super convenient for resteeping and for making tea throughout the day without needing to wait for the water to heat. It worked for me as a student since I'd study in my room a lot and constantly drink tea while studying/writing. For days where I'd be in the library, I could quickly fill up a giant thermos of hot water for "grandpa brewing" teas in a separate tumbler. A 2L electric kettle would have worked just as well for the latter scenario though.
For my current situation (spending more time outside the house), this is admittedly somewhat overkill since I run around with the giant thermos. I try to get in a few gongfu sessions most evenings—its convenience is much more apparent then. I think if you brew Western style once or twice a day and don't tend to resteep or if you're not at home very much when you make/drink tea, this might be a little excessive.
I hope that helps a bit more! Good luck on your teaware search!
I am so behind on reviewing some green tea samples Angel and Teavivre kindly sent me earlier this summer. Life keeps getting in the way of things and, being not much of a green tea drinker, I wind up instinctively reaching for a familiar oolong or pu'er tea on most days. But, I'm feeling a little more adventurous right now and thought I'd brew this up and give it a try!
(Spring 2014 batch)
Brewed aroma: Grassy, vegetal. Almost like freshly mown grass.
Taste: Also grassy and vegetal, with a hint of salt and a pleasant, smoky bitterness lurking in the background. Crisp, refreshing aftertaste that's very satisfying, almost as if I've finished a hearty vegetable stew. Sometimes I can also taste some sweetness creeping in a little later.
Like I mentioned before, I don't usually drink green teas, but this was a nice and enjoyable one! Thanks Teavivre!
Sample from an order from who-knows-when. I'm not very good at keeping track of samples— they just sort of turn up in my tea trunk when I'm not expecting it.
Just on my first steep (about 30 seconds), I swear I can taste banana bread with a hint of dark chocolate chips. Glancing through others' notes, I don't think anyone's mentioned anything about bananas, so I'm a bit baffled as to where that came from.
I have no idea what's going on with my tongue, but I'm definitely enjoying this shu so far!

Skip to comments.What does one TRILLION dollars look like?
Posted on 01/06/2011 6:42:52 AM PST by 1rudeboy
All this talk about "stimulus packages" and "bailouts"...
A billion dollars...
A hundred billion dollars...
Eight hundred billion dollars...
One TRILLION dollars...
What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like so many doggie treats, so I thought I'd take Google Sketchup out for a test drive and try to get a sense of what exactly a trillion dollars looks like.
We'll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slighty fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.
A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week or two of shamefully decadent fun.
Believe it or not, this next little pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000). You could stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it.
While a measly $1 million looked a little unimpressive, $100 million is a little more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet...
And $1 BILLION dollars... now we're really getting somewhere...
Next we'll look at ONE TRILLION dollars. This is that number we've been hearing so much about. What is a trillion dollars? Well, it's a million million. It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed by 12 zeros.
You ready for this?
It's pretty surprising.
Go ahead...
Scroll down...
Ladies and gentlemen... I give you $1 trillion dollars...
Notice those pallets are double stacked.
...and remember those are $100 bills.
So the next time you hear someone toss around the phrase "trillion dollars"... that's what they're talking about.
* Step by step calculations & dimensions are here for those who may be interested.
* You may also be interested to see the U.S. National Debt in $100 dollar bills.
So here you go, the U.S. National Debt in $100 dollar bills...
I cannot vouch for the calculations, but what difference does it make? We're doomed.
That's several times bigger than my house.
So are our children...and their children...and THEIR children.
Thanks for nothing, Barry, Nancy and Harry.
"Believe it or not, this next little pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000). You could stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it."
I don't believe it. Please send me the money and a grocery bag and I'll see if I really can walk around with it... :)
That seems to imply that some libs do have a clue?
Looks bogus to me, but I've seen this before and I think it was 1,000 dollar bills.
Look at the 3rd image. That is NOT 100 packets of $100 bills. It looks more like about 5 packets.
BTW, one reason the government stopped printing $500 and $1000 bills is so large sums of money will be more detectable and harder to transport clandestinely. Or so I heard.
If the US debt was only one trillion dollars, and we repaid it at the tune of $1.00 per second...
It would take us 31,688 years to pay off the debt.
My favorite bits of dialogue from that movie:
Alfred Pennyworth: A long time ago, I was in Burma, my friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never found anyone who traded with him. One day I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away.
Bruce Wayne: Then why steal them?
Alfred Pennyworth: Because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
A bit off topic, but as an example of scale, the human body has been estimated to have somewhere around 50-75 trillion cells.
One trillion seconds ago no human civilization had written language.
One trillion seconds is more than 32,000 years.
The American government is currently more than $14 trillion in debt.
No wonder the American dollar is worth 1/1400 of an ounce of gold.
A few months ago a writer to the St. Pete Times (FL) suggested a fix to the nation's unemployment and economy woes. Give the 40 million people that are age 50 and above a million dollars with the stipulation that they quit their jobs, buy a car from Detroit and pay off their mortgage. A friend forwarded this to me saying this could be the end of our problems. I shot back, "did you do the math?" He said that it was a $400 billion dollar cost. I corrected him that no, it was $40 TRILLION and to cover the cost (by printing more money), the car alone would cost $1 million. He sheepishly replied that his calculator did not have enough zeros.
"Off the top of my head, I'm calculating that you can fit $2.4 billion on one of these:"
And how many of those left Iraq in 2003?
I've seen this before, and realised that palletized one trillion dollars would practically cover my 2.5 acre yard.
Look at the 3rd image. That is NOT 100 packets of $100 bills. It looks more like about 5 packets.
A standard bill is 6.14 inches by 2.61 inches. A stack of 100 bills is approximately .43 inches thick. So, a stack of $100 bills equal to $10,000 is 6.14 inches wide, by 2.61 inches deep, by .43 inches thick. A stack of 100 bills gives you 6.890922 cubic inches. 100 stacks would give you 689.0922 cubic inches.
That stack of 1 million dollars appears to be two bills wide (12.28 inches). Divide 689.0922 by 12.28 and you get 56.115. That stack also appears to be roughly 4.5 inches tall, so, divide by 4.5 and you get 13.05 inches (which is exactly 5 bills deep, front to back) - which appears to be how deep that stack is. I'd say the numbers are right.
I just want 10 square feet of that...
If it's not the reason, it should be... then again it's almost a little too logical...
On the other hand.. if we would just give each Congresscritter, all 535 of 'em including the Senate...a million dollars each just to go home and quit legislatin' at the onset of each congressional session-America would come out ahead-for once.
EXCELLENT Graphics - real eye-opener! It was just 50 years ago that the late Senator Dirksen was ATTRIBUTED as saying "A Billion here and a Billion there and pretty soon you are talking about real money!" Sheesh!
What do you mean we? only the giveruppers are doomed.To win we need to beat up congress until they get it.
[ BTW, one reason the government stopped printing $500 and $1000 bills is so large sums of money will be more detectable and harder to transport clandestinely. Or so I heard.
If it's not the reason, it should be... then again it's almost a little too logical... ]
These days the fed can just magically summon up digital cash clandestinely without needing to involve the bureau of printing and engraving.
I have two questions.
1. just how much would all of that weigh, minus the pallets?
2. how do I go about getting my hands on that stack?
What I meant was I wanted 10 square feet of that double-stacked pallet area. I should have qualified my statement. Given the stacks appear to be about 4 feet high, that'd be that'd be 8 feet less 12 inches for two pallets, so 2x5x7 would be 70 cubic feet. That'd be about right. If you consider that $10,000 is 6.868476 cubic inches, and there are 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot, then 70 cubic feet equals 120,960 cubic inches. Divide that by 6.868476 and you get 17,610.89 (stacks of $10,000 in 70 cubic feet). That would be a tidy $176,108,936 (rounded to the nearest whole dollar).
My math was off - that's not roughly 8 feet for two stacks, it's roughly 7.5 feet less about a foot for the pallets - so, it would be 65 cubic feet, not 70. That would be about $163,529,726 rounded. Still works for me.
Not to split hairs or anything but I'd take that swag and not complain one bit. It would make life a tad easier to live on.
This thread reminds me of something a friend said he saw etched into a bathroom stall. It read, "Someone, somewhere, has some money, and I have to find some way to get some of it". I couldn't agree more and subscribe to that.
Wow, just wow! Good work 1rudeboy.
1 ream of paper --> 5 poundsSo if my math is correct (and it rarely is), one truckload of $100 notes = 48,000 pounds**
10 reams of paper --> 1 case
40 cases of paper --> one pallet
24 pallets of paper --> one truckload*
*48-foot flatbed or van trailer
**the maximum weight before specialized equipment is needed (generally)
"What do you mean we? only the giveruppers are doomed.To win we need to beat up congress until they get it."
Simply just quit electing the bastards to the Congress!
Agree we need to beat up congress but everytime we elect the new ones they turn into the old ones,keep replacing them is all we can do.
Well, yeah, the commie ones do but they have another agenda.
bump to the top
Not re-elect congress???? Tell that to all the pork-addicted from both major parties.
It's worth even less now. A dollar is only 1/1611 of an ounce of gold.
Good reply, Godebert
Report back in another 7 months.
What will the dollar be worth then?

Nate: How does the government catch mob guys?
Eliot: Hey, this detonator, if I'm around the corner, is it still going to be in range?
Hardison: Should be. I haven't worked out all the kinks yet. Sometimes the things just go off.
Eliot: Wha-wha-wait. Hey. I thought you said this thing was safe?
Hardison: Mostly, mostly safe. I was very specific. Sometimes the frequencies get messed up.
Eliot: What frequencies, man? Huh? I got these things in my pants.

Sophie: There's nothing you can say that will make me feel better.
Parker: I know what would make you feel better. We should steal something.
Nate: Hmm No, no-
Sophie: Yes. We could do it together.
Elliot: I like this. Get right back up on the bike.
Parker: Bike of crime.
Eliot: You quit drinking? How'd you know about this place then?
Nate: I rent a condo upstairs.
Eliot: You rent a condo above a bar?
Nate: That's right.
Eliot: Oh, that's very...Catholic.
Hardison: I spent three days hacking into the White House emails – no buzz.
Sophie: See?
Hardison: But we are doing some pretty hinky stuff in Pakistan...hinky.
Sophie: Look, I'm miserable, they're miserable. (To Eliot) Okay, what--what have you been doing the last six months?
Eliot: I was in Pakistan.
Eliot: (about Parker) She's dressed that way 'cause she's doing a con.
Nate: What, you thought she was dressed like a nun for no reason?
Eliot: She's Parker.
Nate: Ah, fair enough.
Eliot: That's why the businesses are clean; they're dirty from the inside.
Nate: Well, yeah, I mean, if you have a body in the trunk of your car, you're gonna drive under the speed limit, aren't you?
Parker: You know, when you're sober, your metaphors get creepier.
Nate: Now if you'll excuse me, I am gonna go call a professional killer who tried to murder me and arrange to meet him in an isolated location.

I have a SimpleXMLElement object $child, and a SimpleXMLElement object $parent.
How can I add $child as a child of $parent? Is there any way of doing this without converting to DOM and back?
The addChild() method only seems to allow me to create a new, empty element, but that doesn't help when the element I want to add $child also has children. I'm thinking I might need recursion here.

Lion Cubs Are Just Too Cute!
I love scrapbooking and jump at the opportunity to create a layout using fab new products. I made this page using my new paper from Momenta. These beautiful designs come from a generous paper pad called Chloes Garden Pyramid pad. The embellishments are also from Momenta so head on over to get the product details if you likey :)
These pictures were taken last year when we visited South Africa. The White Lion Sanctuary allows visitors to pet lion cubs. We want to seriously own one - for real. They are THE cutest little creatures ever!
Today this Monday started out pretty good with me ready to tackle my weekly chores with vigor and enthusiasm! Alas here I sit, in the car repair shop, waiting to hear the diagnosis of my breaks. I am told metal sounding on metal is indeed not a good thing.
I hope your Monday is going a tad better than mine :)

The car has 90K miles, change oil every 5K miles, at last oil change, mechanic noticed oil leaking from the turbo and an air line running to the turbo had oil in it. Any ideas on where the oil is coming from, other than the turbo? Is this a common problem? If it is the turbo, rebuild or replace with new part? Thanks Thanks

The ACLJ is continuing its efforts to hold Planned Parenthood (PP) affiliates in California accountable for more than $100,000,000 in illegal overbilling. PP should not be permitted to enrich itself by extracting tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds through a scheme of charging rates in excess of legal limits.
In Gonzalez v. Planned Parenthood Los Angeles (PPLA) et al., ACLJ attorneys represent P. Victor Gonzalez, the former Vice President of Finance and Administration of Defendant PPLA in a federal whistleblower suit. The suit, brought under the federal False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729 et seq., and the California False Claims Act, Cal. Gov't Code §§ 12651 et seq., alleges that PP affiliates in California bilked the state (and through it, the federal) government over birth control drugs and devices. In particular, PP routinely and unlawfully billed the government at its hugely marked-up "usual and customary" rates, instead of charging the much lower "acquisition cost," i.e., the price PP actually paid for the materials.
Gonzalez, represented by local pro-life attorney Jack Schuler, filed suit on Dec. 19, 2005, in federal district court in Los Angeles. The suit remained "under seal" – kept secret from the public – as required by the False Claims Act, to allow the federal government the opportunity to decide whether to intervene in the case. The federal government finally decided, nearly two years later, not to intervene, and the district court then unsealed the case. Gonzalez filed a First Amended Complaint, and PP responded with a motion to dismiss, which the district court granted on Oct. 30, 2008. The district court ruled that Gonzalez could not bring the suit because the alleged fraud had already been the subject of "public disclosure."
Gonzalez appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, with ACLJ attorneys joining the case on his behalf. We filed legal briefs with the appeals court, and I presented oral argument for Gonzalez on Jan. 15, 2010. The three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit that heard the case on June 29, 2010 unanimously overturned the district court's dismissal and reinstated the case. The appeals court ruled that Gonzalez was an "original source" of the information and therefore was entitled to sue even if there was a "public disclosure" of the information. The appeals court on Aug. 12, 2010 turned away PP's petition for rehearing. PP did not try to take the case to the Supreme Court.
When the case returned to the district court, PP filed an answer to Gonzalez's lawsuit, but then filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings (i.e., dismissing the case). The district court on Apr. 19, 2011, granted the motion in part. The court threw out Gonzalez's state claims, saying they were filed too late (beyond the statute of limitations). The court also rejected the federal claims, but gave Gonzalez the chance to amend his complaint, which he did. PP again answered and moved for judgment on the pleadings, raising new objections to the Second Amended Complaint. The parties, with the court's approval, then agreed to another amendment to the complaint.
After we filed a Third Amended Complaint, PP moved, for the fourth time, to dismiss the case. This time PP added another new argument, namely, that the complaint did not allege that any of the claims were "false." The district court on June 26, 2012 agreed and again dismissed the entire case. We appealed once more to the Ninth Circuit. This is the appeal that is currently pending.
We filed our opening brief for Gonzalez on Dec. 27, 2012. PP filed its response brief on Feb. 25, 2013, and we filed our reply brief today. The dispute on appeal centers on whether a claim of unlawful overbilling is a "false claim" under the federal False Claims Act. We point out that the very purpose of the FCA was to target overbilling of the government, and that what makes a claim "false" is that the person making the claim is not entitled to the money requested. (To guard against liability for innocent mistakes, the FCA also requires that the false claim be made "knowingly.") PP's position is that violations of billing limits are "mere regulatory violations" not covered by the FCA. Our response is that this interpretation would largely gut the FCA, noting that the federal Department of Justice regularly obtains sizable false claims awards under the FCA statute based upon allegations of unlawful overbilling.
The appeal has not yet been scheduled for oral argument. We will keep you posted as developments unfold.
This week a satirical video went viral that slammed crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs), claiming they deceived women and were run by con-artists. Major online media outlets praised the vulgar video running headlines including, "Samantha Bee Exposes Just How Terrifying Crisis Pregnancy Centers Are,"
Big abortion is a propaganda machine. It peddles lies and falsehoods at a rate that would make even Stalin blush. For example, Planned Parenthood claims that only 3% of its "services" are abortion – a lie that earned it three Pinocchios from the Washington Post Fact Checker. In reality, upwards of...

A group of about 20 riders or so are heading up to Clermont, FL west of Orlando. It is the site of the annual "Horrible Hundred" to be held in Nov. It features a century with 4 k of climb, not a lot by most but pretty impressive for flat FLA. The highest "peak" is 400' Sugarloaf Mountain, so the climb is mostly rollers.
We are going up to do a 65 mi A ride and a 45 Mi B ride. I'm going to try to hang on to the A ride as I want to do Sugarloaf which is not on the 45 mi route. Also, if I'm driving 3 hrs to a ride, I don't want to be done in 2.5 hrs.
If I can handle the 65 mi ride, I'll feel much better about the 100 mi ride in Nov. If I suffer too much, I'll know to limit myself to the 70 mi route in Nov.
We're leaving at 5 AM so it's off for a nice big bowl of pasta and a good nights rest.

How much am I suppose to eat...A little bit....frustrated!
Tuesday, February 09, 2010
So, I've been on plan for 5 weeks, as of yesterday! I've been pretty good about staying within my calorie range, with mainly healthy calories, I have been getting a minimum of 60 minutes of cardio, 6 days a week and ST for 35 minutes 4 times a week...and I've been drinking a gallon of water a day, YES I said a gallon! lol
So, anyways...the last week of January I had to go away for the entire week, for business conference. This had me literally in meetings from 7:00 am - 11:00 pm everyday, except Friday, when I was lucky enough to get out at 4, so I could go HOME!! Anyways...with that crazy schedule, I barely ate...and when I did I had no control over it because it was whatever was catered...and I literally had very minimum or no water at all because I couldn't leave the room every 10 minutes to go potty! haha...Okay, so the point, right...the point is, before the trip I was averaging 3.8 pounds a week loss...after the trip, I haven't lost a thing, and I'm actually back up 2 pounds!!!! What the HECK!
Okay, so now you all have a good idea of my eating and workout schedule...any ideas as to why I'm gaining and NOT losing???????
Last night I found an article, and it said that in order to lose weight consistantly, you should be eating 25% less than your BMR...well, here's my question...does that mean my regular BMR of 1976, or my "moderate activity" BMR of 3039, cause umm, hello...in case you didn't notice...there's a HUGE difference there! lol Not to mention my spark calorie range is NOWHERE near either of these numbers...so who's right, whats wrong...why won't my body lose any weight?!? And, does this process even really work...who knows?!
I'm really getting past frustrated and now really worried, because I have goals, that are set for a reason...and the first is a location wedding on May 29th, and soon I'm gonna have to rsvp...and I am seriously not going unless I am down another 45 pounds! This is not cool, and I need help!
Any and all help is totally appreciated...Thanks to all!!!

When I am nursing I hit really big plateaus. For me I wasn't eating enough food. I would eat in my cal range and lose weight. When I fell below it I would stop losing till I got my calories up. With as much as you are working out I would guess you may need a few more calories to start losing again, but I am not sure what range you are eating at. what range are you at and how many weeks have you not lost, if it's just one then I wouldn't change a thing if it is 2 then I would play with the calorie range, either up or down. Another things I have done that helps is to eat higher on my calorie range one day and low on the calorie range the next to confuse your body and bet it to break the plateau. Hope this info helps a little :) You will break through it!

Food like this is notoriously full of salt, fat, and calories so you may be retaining water or just have gained a couple of pounds. But you have no choice. In addition 1 or 2 plus or minus pounds is considered normal fluctuation due to fluids moving in and out of cells.
45 pounds is a lot to lose in that period of time. I would not eat less than 1200 calories a day but you could try more exercise and less calories.

Perhaps you hit a plateau? There are some good articles on here for that. Have you tried mixing up your workouts? Maybe eating different things if you haven't been? I would try to search on SP about plateau-ing. You may find some helpful info!

Sometimes a crazy week happens when you get unexpected results. Plus your body was getting used to one routine, then suddenly you ate way less food and drank way less water and your body could have been saying "WHOA - HOLD IT! What's going on???". Get back to your "new" routine this week, hang in there, and I bet you have much better results.

A Gentle Reminder Of The Effectiveness Of Prior ECB Bond Buying
Today's announcement of the third-coming of the messiah-like Draghi's Bond-Buying program - even if under a different, more catchy, name - brings to mind a chart we offered by way of genuine concern the last time he mentioned this as an option. While he insists it's different this time (because they'll tell us the CUSIPs? we already knew when they were in; because its conditional? and revocable and who trusts their data; because its at the short-end? simply crushing up sovereign funding capabilities and leaving the roll/liquidity needs even greater; Unlimited? we don't remember a limit before?), it is clear that the immediate gaps tighter in bond yields (and spreads) on the announcement of the program was the best it ever was and bonds sold off through each of the previous two SMP efforts. Just saying...
Spanish and Italian bond yields (upper pane) versus the volume of ECB bond buying (lower pane).
...which in aggregate is around the same size that the market implied it was expecting - yields moved from ~4% to over 6.5% as the ECB soaked up over EUR250bn...
Chart: Bloomberg
- advertisements -
Going short Euros and long Wurst.
Draghi said it best in his speech, which were his own words: "We want to give the perception that things are going to work - we want this to work."
In other words, "we know we have no respect and can't do anything, but we're trying like hell to put on a good show here...."
Create your own reality or have one shoved up your...................
Perception is reality simply because we act upon what we believe/perceive, making it real. Sort of like putting the cart in front of the horse. Regardless of whether we believe this to be true, those who run the world know this to be true.
Like when brokers used to agree not to sell crap to unsophisticated clients... because they're not smart enough to understand when they're being lied to?
I smell whole fucking cottage industries in the works!
If a false perception fails to alter reality to its paradigm, it can be a very rude awakening when reality manifests itself-look at those South African miners who charged those cops believing the witch doctor's false perception that bullets couldn't harm them!!!
"We want to give the perception that things are going to work - we want this to work."
He's trying hard to believe his own bullshit!
Nah... he's pretending it's real because he thinks if he pretends it's real you'll believe it's real.
He already knows it's horseshit. Just part of the game for sociopaths.
"Nah... he's pretending it's real because he thinks if he pretends it's real you'll believe it's real."
It's been working for thousands of years so why stop now? If there's one thing about these sociopaths that needs to be understood, it's that they will die trying.
Will we? Because that is what gives them their power, by convincing us to never even try in the first place.
<"Yeah....well, you can't fight city hall.">
If we are going to go that far back in town we might as well paraphrase one history's other unelected European rulers, Julius Caesar:
"Vini, Draghi, Downi"
Told ya: Germans are going to cave. "We shall bail out!"
No kidding.
Draghi was asked if he would consider buying other types of debt. He basically said it had taken great effort to get to this point and therefore it was not time to consider other things. The inference was that he doesn't really believe this on its own will be enough to fix the problem, but there is only so fast he can move people along. He realizes that the ECB will eventually have to plug the holes in the European banking system and the best way to fix the capital ratios of the banks is to buy their dodgy assets, bury them somewhere and pretend it is all ok.
Tyler, you are such a party pooper. ;-)
Just remember what to do when this shit gets serious.....LIE.
Nothing to see here, folks. Please move along.
And that's the difference. Drahgi doesn't want to make the same mistake this time. The mistake the JCT made last two times was that the ECB actually bought the eurobonds. This time he will only threaten to buy the bonds. And the Euro will be fixed. :)
We have not been here in Italy long enough for me to make any decent observations, except these two (granted, these are anecdotal):
1) LOTS of "We buy gold" signs here in Rome: LOTS! Yes, many of them are from the same two companies, but compared to what I have seen before, there are aggressive gold buyers here.
2) Those Euro stock markets took off like a bang after Draghi uttered his dove-ish remarks re easing...
If I have any other comments of interest to the ZH community re an American's observations here IN ITALIA, I will pass them along..., but let me order another birra first (almost 8:00 PM now...)
A proliferation of anecdotal evidence becomes a malleable statistic subject to seasonal adjustment and revision.
Yeah......what he said.
Super Mario doesn´t even believe his own lies..
Short this at your peril. Writing has been on the wall for 2 months and today should make it clear. Draghi has got your back. If you are a hedgie up 3% ytd or a long only up 6% with the market up 14%, you have to get long here. That's what moves markets. Oh and the last remaining cynical shorts capitulating.
Do we go balls deep right here or is it France's turn now?
sold to you...
Mario did what he was told to do by his GS and Co masters and created a last way out....
Meanwhlile is the
Baltic Dry Index (BDI) -9 675
666 is the Har-Megeddon number...
Everyone watching CNBC set up the better than expected NFP tomorrow? They are saying how a good number puts Ben on the sidelines. They are pitching it like that should be good for the market. Their voices are a bit high pitched though and they tend to look down and to the left when they speak. I would LOVE to see Ben sit on his hands next week and Germany vote that fucker down. Just to see how in the hell these idiot pundits try to talk this thing up.
Unrelated but what happens when the vix hits 0?
So nice of the ECB and Euro taxpayers to create a profitable exit for international bond speculators who have repeatedly bought on rumor and sold on the news!
This eventually attracts speculators in bonds and derivatives to the riskiest investments, like moths to flame. A sure payout, but for how long?
Buy the rumor - buy the news - ah fuck it jsut buy buy buy!
We will keep buying bonds until it's all fixed.......yea right.
Keep stacking
Let the acceleration of underfunding pensions commence.
You can bet both Italy and Spain are licking their lips at how many new 3 year bonds they are going to issue in the next few years.....trillions..they will get rich off of this...the others will follow when they see how easy it is.....just issue and get the money....that buys votes...and it buys yachts and pensiones in the country
No one is focusing on what "conditionality" means. If Spain screams, "I'll be good, I promise, I'll be good" like a two year old hankering to avoid a scolding, that probably counts as trying to reduce debt and will allow for continued bond monetization.
When the kids and grandkids get the bill down the road, they are going to realize that the adults weren't actually behaving like adults at all.
Look, I'm just a humble engineer. My PhD is not in economics or even business. And I'm sure this has been covered here before - probably ad nauseum.
But could someone tell me why, if the central bank purchase of bonds (and, I suppose, equities) is such a wonferful idea, nobody thought of it prior to the market meltdown of 2008?
Because it just reaks to me of "eating one's on poop" - which, while I won't mock anyone's taste, I have to say is probably not a great "the world is saved" long-term plan.
if there is any chance markets have any behavior left over from when they were so called free, now would be a good time for a smack down. bulls drooling all over themselves.

Jay Kos is about to shake things up a bit.
This story first appeared in the March 17, 2011 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The men's wear designer and retailer will close his Park Avenue location in May and relocate to East Houston Street at Mott Street. But in addition to his colorful, high-end men's apparel, the downtown store, slated to open in June, will also feature a custom-designed kitchen.
"The whole retail model is so boring," Kos said. So customers who stop by the new store can expect Kos to whip up some of their favorite foods to enjoy while shopping. "It's not a restaurant, it's a men's clothing store," Kos stressed. "But food and fashion are one in the same to me." In fact, as he writes on his blog: "Food, through its amazing colors, texture and taste, inspire me to create beautiful clothing; whether it is a bright yellow egg dish that becomes a hop sack cashmere jacket of the same hue, or a green cashmere sweater born from a vibrant pea."
He said the downtown store will be like "having a men's store in my home."
The design will have an Art Deco feel and will include custom-designed green glass edged in burgundy. A custom python carpet and pewter alligator wall coverings will be part of the mix. The appliances will all be by Electrolux.
The store will have 1,300 square feet on two floors with a downstairs space, which will be used for Kos' celebrity clients. Smaller than the Park Avenue unit, which is around 1,600 square feet, the Mott Street store will offer a "much more edited and focused" assortment of Kos' line. "I'll be focusing only on my top pieces," he said, "and not carry as many sku's as in the past."
A grand opening is expected to be held in July.

Top-ranked Carl Albert topples McGuinness
Carl Albert quarterback Stevie Thompson doesn't see a finished product yet.
The senior accounted for three touchdowns leading the top-ranked Titans past No. 10 McGuinness 35-21 at Clement Pribil Stadium on Friday, but still feels there is room for improvement from the defending state champions.
"We're happy where we're at, but we've still got to keep working," Thompson said.
The win, though, propels Carl Albert to a 4-1 record and 2-0 start to District 5A-2 play, which is the exact opposite of last season's start.
And the Titans have won in a different fashion each of the past two games.
In last week's win against defending district champion Deer Creek, it was an overpowering rushing attack.
Friday night, the Titans came up with multiple big plays to hold off the Irish, which is now 2-3 overall and 1-1 in district play.
"We didn't sustain much, but our big-play guys came through," Carl Albert coach Gary Rose said. "I'd rather grind it and run the clock, but when you make big plays we'll take them, too."
Trailing 7-0 in the first quarter, Carl Albert running back Chantz Woodberry broke loose on a counter for a 71-yard touchdown.
On the next possession, Thompson threw a short pass to Isaiah Shawver, who turned it into a 75-yard touchdown and 14-7 lead.
The Titans then turned the Irish's following possession into points when Malik Muhammad returned Jacob Lewis' fumble 47 yards for a touchdown.
"When I got it, I think it changed the whole momentum of the game drastically," Muhammad said. "We had a slow start to the game, and when I got that, I think it lifted everybody's spirits."
From there, McGuinness was forced to play catch-up.
The Irish got within a touchdown in the third quarter, but Thompson broke loose from a tackle in the backfield for a 33-yard touchdown on a fourth-down play in the fourth quarter.
McGuinness again tried to rally, but Lewis fumbled on the goal line with 2:14 remaining to seal the game.
Lewis finished with 236 yards on 27 carries and three touchdowns, but it was the fumbles that stand out.
Irish coach Justin Jones, though, doesn't necessarily believe that.
"I'm not going to say turnovers were a difference in that game," he said. "Turnovers are a part of football. The difference in the game was about five plays."
Thompson, meanwhile, finished with 153 yards on the ground and 102 through the air, while Woodberry finished with 106 yards and nine carries.
After the game, the Titans' attention was already turned to next week when they host No. 2 Guthrie in the annual rivalry game.
It'll conclude the toughest stretch of the regular season for the Titans, too. It's also the stretch they failed to win a game in last season.
"We're about to get through with Murderer's Row and I'm ready to get through," Rose said. "I hope we can survive the last step."

Dell Shareholders May Get a Say; Tech Giants Disappoint
Dell shareholders may finally get a chance to vote today on the controversial plan from company chief Michael Dell to take the company private in a $24 billion deal.
Dell shareholders may finally get a chance to vote today on the controversial plan from company chief Michael Dell to take the company private in a $24 billion deal.
Yum Brands -- owner of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell -- reports earnings fell for a third straight quarter, but still topped expectations.
From sluggish PC sales to Facebook regaining an important advertiser to a department store chain finally ousting its inept CEO, here are the wonders and blunders of the week.
Dell posted mixed quarterly results after Tuesday's market close, and that's not good news for the PC giant. No one is surprised to find that desktops and laptops just aren't selling these days.
Experts offer low-cost alternatives for upgrading your PC.
Personal computer sales fell 1.1% in the first quarter compared to the same period in 2010, according to industry research firm Gartner, but while its report lists a few possible reasons for the decline, none are compelling, and the drop is unlikely to presage a serious decline in PC sales.
Gartner has lowered its laptop-sales forecast for this year and the next, predicting that the popularity of tablets and smartphones will slow laptop sales.
No wonder President Obama is visiting an Intel plant as he stumps for U.S. innovation and high-tech jobs. After all, Intel is a clear industry leader. Indeed, some analysts argue that for investors seeking entry in the global growth of technology, Intel is the one-stop answer.
Ken Olsen, the MIT-educated inventor who founded DEC in the 1950s and built it into multi-billion dollar company, died on Sunday. In addition to inventing the minicomputer, Olsen was a pioneer as a manager. But perhaps the most valuable lesson his life can teach regards his one business blind spot.
Investors are buying into the meme that Windows is dying -- and therefore Microsoft is as well. While tablets are clearly cutting into the giant's core PC business, Microsoft is also showing remarkable agility in building new franchises for the future, the Kinect for one.
U.S. consumers spent 5% less on consumer electronics during the last holiday season compared to a year earlier, according to a new report from NPD Group.
2010 hasn't been a happy year for Intel. Its stock is up just 2% compared to the Nasdaq's 17% rise, and there's a growing sense that the explosive growth of smartphones and tablets will shrink the market for the PC chips that produce three-quarters of Intel's revenue. But the chip giant has a plan.
Ron Garriques, head of Dell's mobile devices, one of the businesses most critical to the company's future, is leaving.
Advanced Micro Devices has lowered its third-quarter sales forecast, citing weaker-than-expected demand for laptops in North America and Europe.
PC maker Dell Inc (DELL) may drop out of the bidding war with technology company Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) for data storage company 3PAR Inc (PAR) as the bids move out of its price range, analysts say. According to a survey of eight technology investors and analysts carried out by Reuters, most market players expect Dell to either drop out of the bidding war now or to do so after topping HP%u2019s latest offer by a few dollars.
Hewlett-Packard shares jumped nearly 2.76%, or $1.05, to $39.05 in premarket trading after the No. 1 PC maker announced Monday that its board of directors had authorized an additional $10 billion for share repurchases. HP expects to buy back at least $3 billion worth of shares in its fiscal fourth quarter.
In a further sign of how far the convergence of PCs and TVs has truly gone, Intel is acquiring Texas Instruments' cable modem business, the chip maker announced Monday.
Blizzard's StarCraft II, the sequel to one of the most popular PC games of all time, has sold a whopping 1.5 million copies in two days.
After PC buying stalled during the recession, it's time again to replace those old machines. Such buying kicked in during the second quarter, and it's buoying expectations that Dell's sales and earnings growth will regain badly needed vigor.
Intel's record earnings suggest that companies are starting to loosen up a bit on tech spending: They are finally replacing their 4- and 5-year-old PCs. This replacement cycle should bid up the stocks of other PC makers -- but how long will this wave of IT buying last?
Investors are looking for a strong showing from the bellwether chipmker, which would offer further evidence that U.S. companies -- and tech firms in particular -- are continuing to emerge from the recession. Analysts expect Intel to come through.
In an extraordinary blog post, Microsoft's Frank Shaw pressed a case for the company's primacy in the world of technology -- clearly a reaction to its many critics and skeptical analysts on Wall Street, where Microsoft's share price is less than half the level it was in 1999.
Semiconductor sales hit $23.1 billion in March, further solidifying the industry's growth after a brutal downturn a year ago, according to the closely watched Semiconductor Industry Association report. It was the second-best period on record after November 2007.

The Press: Jeremy Black Charts Its Growth in Victorian Britain. (New Agendas)
Black, Jeremy, History Review
One of the many ways in which Victorian London was at the centre of British life and that of the British Empire was by the provision of news. Much of the news was of course made in London, but much was not; whichever was the case, it was London newspapers that spread information and orchestrated opinion. Through its press, London created the image and idiom of Empire, shaped its opinions and laid claim to the title of the `fourth estate' of the realm. Aside from this political function, the press also played a central economic, social and cultural role, setting and spreading fashions, whether of company statements or through theatrical criticism. In what was increasingly a commercial society, the press played a pivotal role inspiring emulation, setting the tone, fulfilling crucial needs for an anonymous mass-readership in a society in which alternative means of spreading opinion, such as the church, appeared increasingly weak or redundant.
The press was itself affected by change, by the energising and disturbing forces of commercialization and new technology. It was to be legal reform and technological development that freed the Victorian press for major growth. Newspapers had become expensive in the eighteenth century, in large part due to successive rises in Stamp Duty. In the mid-nineteenth century these so-called `taxes on knowledge' were abolished: the Advertisement Duties in 1853, the Newspaper Stamp Duty in 1855 and the Paper Duties in 1861. This opened up the possibility of a cheap press and that opportunity was exploited by means of a technology centred on new printing presses and the continuous rolls or `webs' of paper that fed them. Web rotary presses were introduced in Britain from the late 1850s. The Walter press was first used by The Times in 1868 and by The Daily News in 1873, while The Daily Telegraph purchased the American Bullock presses in 1870. Mechanical typesetting was introduced towards the end of the century, linotype machines appearing in newspaper offices in the 1890s.
New technology was expensive but mass readership, opened up by the lower prices that could be charged after the repeal of the newspaper taxes, justified the cost. The consequence was more titles and lower prices. The number of daily morning papers published in London rose from 8 in 1856 to 21 in 1900, of evenings from 7 to 11, while there was a tremendous expansion in the suburban press. The repeal permitted the appearance of penny dailies. The Daily Telegraph, launched in 1855, led the way and by 1888 had a circulation of 300,000, while that of The Daily News rose from 50,000 in 1868 to 150,000 in 1871. The penny press was in turn squeezed by the halfpenny press, the first halfpenny evening paper, The Echo, appearing in 1868, while halfpenny morning papers became important in the 1890s with The Morning Leader (1892) and The Daily Mail (1896), which was to become extremely successful with its bold and simple style. The Echo peaked at a circulation of 200,000 in 1870.
In comparison, an eighteenth-century London newspaper was considered a great success if it sold 10,000 copies a week (most influential papers then were weeklies) and 2,000 weekly was a reasonable sale. Thus an enormous expansion had taken place, one that matched the vitality of an imperial capital, swollen by immigration and increasingly influential as an opinion-setter within the country, not least because of the communications revolution produced by the railway and better roads. The development of the railways allowed London newspapers to increase their dominance of the national newspaper scene. Thanks to them these papers could arrive on provincial doorsteps within hours of publication.
The public among whom literacy rates were rising sought cheap, entertaining reading matter. As in the previous century, this was only partly provided by the expanding press. A literature of chapbooks and almanacs had then been more popular than newspapers, and in the Victorian age much of the press did not provide the lurid tales that were sought by many. …

Revilla clan shocked sibling linked to Ramgen murder
MANILA, Philippines - Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla on Tuesday said the entire Revilla clan is shocked that a sibling, Ramon Joseph Bautista, has been implicated in the murder of aspiring actor-politician Ramgen "Ram" Revilla.
"Our family is as shocked as everyone. Nabigla rin kami sa kinalabasan ng imbestigasyon sa pagkamatay ng aming kapatid na si Ramgen, at ngayon naman ang pagkakasangkot ng tunay na kapatid ni Ramgen at half-brother din namin na si Joseph," an official statement from the senator said.
"Hindi pa man naililibing ang isa, isinasangkot naman ang isa pa. This is a tragic death made even more tragic by the fact that a family member is being implicated," it added.
The senator said the family cannot believe that Joseph would have a hand in Ramgen's murder.
"Hindi kami makapaniwala na may kinalaman nga siya, hangga't hindi napapatunayan, beyond reasonable doubt, na ginawa nga niya ang ibinibintang sa kanya," he said.
He urged the police to weigh the credibility of witnesses who have implicated Joseph in the murder, saying that statements should be validated.
"We call on the Task Force Ramgen to make sure that the result of the investigation must not lead to irreparable damage to the innocent, especially to their family members," he said.
On the other hand, he said the suspects should be punished if they are indeed proven guilty of the crime.
Ram was shot and stabbed dead in his house in Phase 6, BF Homes in Parañaque City before midnight on Friday. His girlfriend, Janelle Manahan, was also shot but is now recovering at the Asian Hospital in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
Parañaque police chief Senior Superintendent Billy Beltran earlier revealed that Ramon Joseph Bautista, 22, is now under police custody after being tagged as one of the suspects in the killing of Ram.
Beltran declined to give more details about the arrest, saying the investigation is ongoing. He said the police will turn over the case to the fiscal's office.
Joseph and 2 other suspects are set to undergo inquest proceedings Tuesday regarding the murder.
Senator Revilla earlier offered a P500,000 reward for information that would lead to the arrests of those involved in the killing of his half-brother.
