FORD Sea Angling Club has explained why Benfleet matchman Dion Macfayden was barred from competing at the club's open match last month.
Macfayden was prevented from fishing the match after two flounders were found in his coolbox before the Ford Open event at Weston Shore, Southampton, started on January 22.
The angler claimed he had caught them the day before while practising for the match and was intending to take them back to Essex with him.
But stewards were unhappy he had the fish on the beach with him and he was barred from the event, although his son Marley was allowed to fish.
Macfayden, 45, denied he intended to cheat and paid for a lie detector test to back up his claims.
Officials from Ford SAC declined to comment on the matter until they had investigated it, but have now released a statement of their findings.
It claims Macfayden originally said the fish were mackerel, that the fish were concealed by his shelter and were whole flounders, while Macfayden claimed they had been gutted.
The statement also said Marley had said the two fish had been caught at Grays, although Macfayden said they had been caught at Hythe.
The stewards involved at the match had given signed written statements to the club, which also questioned the findings of the polygraph test.
Ford's statement also said Macfayden would not be allowed to fish further Ford Opens.
A spokesman for the Southampton-based club confirmed that Ford SAC would not be making any further comment.
Both the club and Macfayden had hoped the Angling Trust, the sport's governing body, would have arbitrated.
However, the trust decided it was a matter between the club and the angler as it was not a match the body had organised.
But a statement on the trust's website said, after considering the case, the body backed Ford's stance.
It also confirmed the trust would be notifying all of its member clubs of the incident and that Macfayden's international application form had been rejected by the trust's Marine National Team and Competition Group.
"I have had my say and they (Ford SAC) are entitled to put their version of events," said Macfayden.
"I was disappointed with what they put down there and I know it's their word against my word.
"I think they should have had us all round the table with the Angling Trust and we could have got around it that way.
"All I will do is go to matches and take my findings with me and we'll see what they say. It's just a shame the Angling Trust did not intervene as a body."

Wigan 2 Aston Villa 2
Roberto Martínez is convinced that Wigan Athletic will rebound strongly after their eight-year stay in the Barclays Premier League came to an end yesterday, but on his own future there was far less certainty.
A love affair that began in 1995 when the Spaniard arrived in Wigan as one of the of the "Three Amigos", may have come to an end as Martínez completed a lap of honour at the DW Stadium after the draw against Aston Villa. Tears, for the manager and supporters, did not seem far away.
Understandably, Martínez's head is still in a whirl after FA Cup

This is a portfolio of my bat/bar mitzvah photography. I strive to capture the spirit of the moments throughout your day, as unobtrusively as possible. It's your day after all, and I am there to photograph the happiness and joy, and as the years pass, these images will become your memories.
I have been a commercial and editorial photographer since 1979. During that time I have always worked on personal projects that focus on the people that we normally walk right by on our daily rounds. Real people in real places doing what they do. I try to make order out of chaos by exposing the moment that defines the physical manifestation of the people and places that I most relate to on an emotional level.

Companies offering "easy money" loans are facing the threat of being closed down for causing "misery and hardship".
18:22, UK, Wednesday 06 March 2013
The UK's biggest payday loans firms are facing the prospect of being put out of business unless they implement swift changes to their practices within 12 weeks.
The ultimatum was issued by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) following a wide-ranging investigation of the controversial sector as it emerged that a separate shake-up would place greater controls on advertising by such firms.
The Government will work with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the industry to make sure advertising does not tempt consumers into taking out payday loans that they cannot afford, and restrict the number of adverts firms put out per hour and the times they can advertise.
Lenders will also be required to make sure that interest rates are clearly displayed.
The OFT carried out checks on 50 major lenders and obtained information from all 240 lenders in the market.
The inquiry uncovered evidence of "widespread irresponsible lending", the OFT said.
It confirmed it was also proposing to refer the payday market to the Competition Commission after finding "deep-rooted problems" in how lenders compete with each other.
The OFT said it had found evidence that the 50 lenders, which account for 90% of the market, were failing to comply with the standards expected and were therefore in danger of losing their licences.
Some of the worst problems identified included lenders not carrying out proper affordability checks before lending or rolling loans over, failing to explain adequately how payments will be collected, acting aggressively to claw back debts and not making enough allowances for struggling borrowers.
OFT chief executive Clive Maxwell said: "We have found fundamental problems with the way the payday market works and widespread breaches of the law and regulations, causing misery and hardship for many borrowers.
"Payday lenders are earning up to half their revenue not from one-off loans, but from rolled over or re-financed deals where unexpected costs can rapidly mount up."
The regulator acted after charities reported rocketing numbers of complaints about payday lenders from borrowers.
The Money Advice Trust (MAT) recently said complaints about payday loans have doubled year-on-year to a record 20,000 in 2012.
New regulator the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which will oversee the consumer credit market from next year, will prioritise tighter rules on payday lending that could come into effect from April 2014.
The FCA's rules will be binding and if they are broken it will have tough enforcement powers including imposing unlimited fines and the ability to claw consumers' money back.
The Government is also planning to do more to encourage greater communication within the industry to stop consumers taking out multiple loans from different lenders.
Sajid Javid, Economic Secretary to the Treasury, said: "The Government is introducing a fundamentally new approach to regulating consumer credit, which will ensure that irresponsible firms and bad practice will have no place in the consumer credit marketplace.
"Consumers can have greater confidence that the new FCA will intervene early and decisively in their interests - thanks to its more focused remit, objectives and powers."

The Memorial Day holiday weekend marks the start of the short-but-sweet strawberry season in Central Virginia. Get out now and pick your own; strawberry season will end by June 15 or so this year. Better still, live large, and phone ahead to reserve your own already-picked berries. Enjoy the views without the back-hunching work!
There are many berry patches in the region, but four stand out for proximity to Charlottesville, beauty of the road trip drive, and their festive atmosphere. In no particular order these four berry patches are: Chiles Peach Orchard and Farm Market, Critzer Family Farm, Seamans Orchard and Saunders Brothers Farm Market.
Each of the four provide spectacular mountain views and great berries. How to pick between them? Let location be your guide, as well as how quick or how long you want the strawberry experience to be. Chiles Peach Orchard is located closet to Charlottesville, just west outside of Crozet, and perhaps is the most family-friendly. Critzer Family Farm offers great views but is really more of a get-in-get-your-produce-and-get-out arrangement. Critzer is conveniently locate in Nelson County a short drive from U.S. Route 250 onto Route 151.
From Charlottesville, Seamans Orchard and Saunders Brothers Family Market are more of a half-full day road trip, being located further afield, in between Piney River and Lovingston. It should be noted that even if you don't pick the strawberries, the back road views are worth at least one trip to each berry patch. Seamans offers the most hours and is open each day of the holiday weekend. Saunders is open every day but Sunday, and offers old-time live music in an old barn-retail-fresh-market environment on Saturday, with strawberry ice cream sundaes.
Here are the details so you can make own your trip plans:
Chiles Peach Orchard is the closet mountain berry patch to Charlottesville, located just west of Crozet. Two strawberry patches are available for picking, and both have 360-degree mountain views. Make a day of it! The orchard provides wagons for your fruit load, or your tired-out-from-berry-pickin' toddlers. Ice cream and homemade fudge are available on premises, as well as fruit ciders from apples, cherries and peaches. Strawberry donuts are on sale by the dozen or the half dozen. An outdoor deck and picnic tables are a great respite from field work. There's also a long front porch area with a steady breeze. Open 9:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Monday-Saturday and from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on Sundays, Chiles Peach Orchard and Farm Market is located at 1351 Greenwood Road in Greenwood (434.823.1583).
The Critzer Family Farm is open Monday-Saturday 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. with two large strawberry patches sitting around a small pond with stellar Blue Ridge Parkway Views, and a fine proximity to Blue Mountain Brewery for a cold one after working in the field under the hot sun. Not a beer drinker? Have Critzer's homemade ice cream instead. Critzer's functions as a mini farmers market, with fresh produce and jams for sale. This early in the season hanging baskets and plants for your own vegetable garden are also available for purchase. Critzer Family Farm will be open on Monday, Memorial Day. The farm is located at 9388 Critzer Shop Road in Afton (540.456.4772).
Seaman's Orchard will give you the loveliest and longest back road drive (sometime strawberry pickin' isn't only just about the strawberries) and they will be open each day of Memorial Day Weekend (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m.; Saturday, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.; Sunday, 12:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m.). Seaman's Orchard is located at 415 Dark Hollow Road in Roseland. Call ahead (434.277.8130) to reserve your pre-picked berries. And PRINT directions to take with you; cell service in this area is spotty.
What makes strawberries better? Ice cream. And on Saturday, May 24, Saunders Brothers Farm Market is hosting Strawberry Sundae Day. Veterans get a 20% discount, pre-picked strawberries are available for purchase, and from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m., The Ridge Runners will play old-time music. Open Monday-Saturday 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Saunders Brothers Farm Market is located at 2717 Tye Brook Highway in Piney River (434.277.5455).

Many objects are on view for the first time in decades, others for the first time ever.

This is a guest post from our very own Blogmocracy mascot, Leia:
Hi friendly people!
I wanted to take a few minutes to let everyone know about one of my most favorite charities, which is called Pepsi, Griffen and Sprite's Legacy Gift.
Named for the dearly departed dogs of Mark Levin's family, Pepsi, Griffen and Sprite's Legacy Gift is a charity that was established to provide needed care for shelter dogs with special needs, such as dental work, surgeries, and heartworm care. Without these essential treatments, many of these dogs would never be able to be adopted by loving families. Since I spent some time in a shelter myself, I know what it's like. Anything that helps more dogs to find nice people to live with gets two paws up in my book!
Pepsi, Griffen and Sprite- a trio of tail-wagging canines, each with his own story and his own giant place in his family's heart. Pepsi lived his whole life like an exuberant puppy, Sprite had uncommonly soft, huggable fur and Griffen lived with an indomitable spirit in spite of a long list of medical issues.
Luckily for all three, they lived out their days with the Levin family who nourished them body and soul with unconditional love and the best care. Or, as Mark Levin, radio host, author of Rescuing Sprite and animal lover extraordinaire sees it—he and his family are the lucky ones whose lives were forever changed through loving Pepsi, Griffen and Sprite.
Unfortunately, not all dogs spend their entire live with a family as loving as the Levin's. Sprite and Griffen both endured some dark days before they were rescued by the Levin family and for all too many dogs awaiting rescue in shelters short on resources, there is no happy ending.
In order to help these great people take care of more dogs, click here.
That's all for today! Bye!

The New Orleans Saints on Wednesday brought in for a visit free-agent defensive tackle Shaun Rogers, a three-time Pro Bowl player released by the Cleveland Browns last week.
Rogers, who turns 32 next month, also has visited the Washington Redskins and Kansas City Chiefs.
Rogers can sign with any team until March 4, because he was released before the end of the current league year. If he doesn't sign before that date, he will be in the same boat with the rest of the NFL's potential free agents, who can't sign anywhere until a new collective bargaining agreement is reached.
Rogers, 6 feet 4, 350 pounds, offers a risk-reward proposition. At his peak, Rogers has been one of the most dynamic defensive tackles in the league, with an ability to pressure the passer and stuff the run. He has 37.5 sacks in 10 seasons with the Detroit Lions and Browns, and he has thrived in the middle of both 4-3 and 3-4 alignments.
However, Rogers' attitude has been a concern in the past, and he was disciplined by the NFL last season for violating the league's personal conduct policy, when he was arrested for carrying a gun in his baggage at the airport.
He was not suspended, but he was fined one game check, which was $405,882.
Rogers signed a reported six-year, $42 million with the Browns in 2008 after they traded a third-round draft pick and cornerback Leigh Bodden to Detroit to acquire him.
Rogers reportedly was due a $5.5 million salary in 2011, with a $500,000 roster bonus. That was the main reason he was one of six veterans released last week by the Browns, who are rebuilding under new coach Pat Shurmur. But it wasn't the only reason.
Rogers became more of a role player in 2011, despite his $6.9 million salary. He started only one game. According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the team was weary of Rogers' attitude and unwillingness to practice. He often was limited in practice with ankle and hip injuries, although he played in 15 games.
"Shaun's a different cat," Browns General Manager Tom Heckert said, according to the Plain Dealer. "Shaun's whole thing -- and he's stated a million times -- is that he's never been on a team that's any good. Every team he's ever been on has been bad. Right or wrong, I think it's taken a toll on him."
The best team Rogers has played for was the 2007 Lions, who finished 7-9.
"I think if he went to a good team, things might change. I don't know," Heckert said.
The Saints, obviously, would fit that bill. And they could use a player with Rogers' talent in the middle of their defensive front.
The Saints have a decent rotation of defensive tackles with versatile starter Sedrick Ellis, run-stuffer Remi Ayodele and pass-rush specialist Anthony Hargrove. But their pass rush was inconsistent last season. And, Ayodele and Hargrove are pending free agents.
Another 10-year veteran hit the market Wednesday when the Buffalo Bills released defensive tackle/end Marcus Stroud, although there is no indication the Saints will have interest in him. Stroud, 32, also is a three-time Pro Bowl player who starred with the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier in his career and has 29.5 career sacks. Stroud, 6-6, 310, has been a full-time starter the past nine years, although he reportedly struggled to make the switch to end in Buffalo's 3-4 last season.

Major Labels Block Zune Sharing of Certain Songs
Microsoft is trying to set its Zune media player apart from the iPod by showcasing its remarkably limited sharing feature. Many reviews have harped on how shared songs can only be played three times over three days. But the restrictions are actually even worse -- if you read the fine print, you'll find that "The Zune to Zune sharing feature may not be available for all audio files on your device."
In fact, Engadget reports that certain songs bought at Microsoft's own store cannot take advantage of Zune's sharing. All the songs come wrapped in DRM, and apparently Microsoft doesn't tell customers at the time of purchase whether songs can be shared or not.
The Zunerama blog tested the sharing feature on the top 50 songs sold at the Zune Marketplace and was met with this message: "Can't send some songs because of rights restrictions. 29 of 50 songs sent to Carrie's Zune."
As usual, when you buy DRMed media, you may be getting much less than the online music service has promised.

Sage College of Albany
in the University Heights area of Albany, NY
Sage provides shuttle service between campuses each weekday from 8 am to 10 pm and weekends between 3 pm and 10 pm. With this, students can take courses on either campus and participate in activities on both campuses.
Students are welcome to enroll in any courses offered at the Colleges, provided all prerequisites are satisfied. While course titles differ between colleges, we will help you to assess your preparation for any upper-level course (those with 300 or 400 course numbers).

Alison Sweeney is leaving "Days of Our Lives" and a lot of her fans are not happy about it. On Friday, Fox News spoke to Alison to get the latest news on what she had to say about leaving the show. She played the part of Sami for 21 years. It has pretty much been her life and now she is ready to move on to something new.
This actress spoke out about the show and said that they asked her what they could do to get her to stay. There was nothing though because she was ready to move on to something new. Alison is still working on "The Biggest Loser" and she recently wrote a book called "Scared Scriptless" that is coming out.
A big deal to Allison Sweeney is being at home more. She has two small children and is married to a police officer. She wants to work on a job where she can be around and take her kids to school each day. This is important to her and now that she is not going to be on "DOOL" she can do that for her kids.
People shared about filming her final episode on the show. Alison shared that on her last day she cried a lot of tears and even took a picture of her parking spot. On her last day her kids were there with her so it helped her to not do the ugly cry but she was still upset with tears streaming down her face.
Alison even shared that since leaving "Days of Our Lives" it is a bit scary for her. She doesn't have a big pile of scripts to read all the time. She still wakes up and is afraid she will be late to work. This is all going to take a bit of getting used to for Sweeney but she will do just fine.

3 Secrets For Notebook Laptop Battery Care
3 Secrets For Notebook Laptop Battery Care
Did you know that your notebook laptop battery has feelings too? It does.
It feels heat in extremely warm environments.
It feels over used when running on empty.
It feels under-utilized when always left with a full charge.
It even feels the cooling bad resting gently below its base. At least that is the story in a good environment. Unfortunately laptop battery life can quickly turn dismal when the laptop battery maintenance is lacking.
Here's how to give your laptop battery care it wants so that it will be ready to function next time you need it in a pinch.
Cool Down
The last thing you probably need is to buy something more. After all, that's probably why you want to know how to extend the life of your notebook laptop in the first place.
It's true.
You don't need a cooling plate for your laptop, but it sure does help for both your lap and the device itself. However, a little duct tape trick can work wonders even without a notebook cooler.
Did I say duct tape? I meant to say CD case.
Simply take your CD case and prop it under the backside of your laptop while letting it rest on a flat surface. In this way the heat is able to escape much easier and your less likely to get burned.
Speaking Of Heat
Try to keep your laptop out of the sun or hotter environments. Yes, you may need to work on that tan, but subjecting a laptop to this type of environment does nothing for the longevity of the laptop battery life.
Optimized Usage
Laptop batteries don't enjoy full tanks any more than running on empty. It finds its best comfort when able to locate a happy medium zone somewhere in the middle of its available battery power. Therefore, aim to keep your laptop about half full of charge whenever possible in-order for it to reach notebook laptop battery nirvana.

LOS ANGELES - The UCLA women's basketball team, ranked No. 14 by Associated Press, won its first game of the year Sunday afternoon, defeating West Virginia, 91-76, at Pauley Pavilion.
The Bruins (1-2, with the two losses at Notre Dame and at home against Connecticut), were led by pre-season first-team All-America forward Maylana Martin. The junior scored 23 points and grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds. Center Janae Hubbard added 18 points, making seven of 10 shots from the floor, and Marie Philman came off the bench to make seven of 11 shots en route to 17 points.

West Virginia (1-2) was led by guard Rebecca Burbridge, who scored a game-high 27 points and added nine rebounds. She made seven of 14 shots from three-point range and West Virginia set a UCLA opponent record with 12 three-point field goals. Guard Mandy Ronay added 14 points.

This is a tad late (which means super late in normal standards), but I want to thank you guys for all the birthday wishes!!
My birthday fell on a weekday again this year, so I went to work hahahyay but I had dinner with the family on that weekend me and a couple of pals went horse riding AND I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THE LITERAL BUTTHURT.
"I'm on a horse."
Bridgette was my horse for the day. She was really lazy and slow, but she constantly insisted on cutting in front of the line and then randomly stopping just to troll the rest of the group. Oh Bridgette. Perhaps she knew I was a beginner and decided to go easy on my aging muscles...regardless, I was aching for days.
On a completely different note, I must apologise for the delay of my Manifest report BUT.... I....I CAN EXPLAIN:
lent me a copy of ACNL and from that point my life spiraled into an endless cycle of picking fruit, fishing, bug catching and omg how is this game so bloody ENGAGING?!
Welcome to the town of Odeko.
gave me a friendly welcome to her house
Animal Cussing with
My reaction to Lloid every time I see him. I love this guy.
when are you going to MIND YER OWN BUSINESS
This is why my villagers shouldn't ask me for new greeting suggestions
My real reason for getting a 3DS is to take stupid photos
I haven't really been convinced to get XY yet (I've got my heart and wallet set for AA5 for next week....!!) but I did go and join the excitement of the midnight launch in the city with and her friends!
I was wearing this get up that night:
So if you saw this loser walk up and down the queue I WASN'T ACTUALLY LOST I was just getting your street passes AH HA HA +*+*+
I'm also going to have a look at Armageddon this year, if you're going as well I hope we can street pass each other or something !

If the rumors are to be believed, Pixar, the makers of Toy Story and Up, are working on a Star Wars movie. This makes a little more sense knowing that Disney, which owns both Pixar and the rights to Star Wars.
If Pixar were to make a Star Wars movie, it would be one of the countless tie-ins to Episode VII. The Latino Review is behind the rumor, so let's hope we hear more on this juicy rumor, and soon.

March 13, 2013
Los Angeles, Calif. - The Bruins Track & Field team opens up their outdoor season this weekend, March 15th and 16th, at the 35th Sheraton Mission Valley Aztec Invitational in San Diego, CA.
After an extremely successful indoor season, the Bruin women are awaiting this weekend's Aztec Invitational to build upon the strides made in the winter. Last weekend at NCAA Indoor Championships, the women finished 15th in the team category (13 points) courtesy of three top five individual performances. Sophomore Kylie Price kicked off the championships for the Bruins with a fourth place finish in the women's long jump (6.35m/20-11) on Day 1, and the following day teammates Brea Buchanan and Allison Koressel both took fifth place in the 60m hurdles final (8.16) and the pole vault (4.30m/14-1.25), respectively. All three athletes earned first team All-America honors.
"We brought three girls [this past weekend] and they all had outstanding results," head women's track and field coach Jeanette Bolden said. "I kept telling them, `Don't be satisfied to just be here.' So to finish 15th out of 55 teams and only have three athletes competing, it's tremendous."
Now, the Bruins look ahead to the outdoor season, beginning this weekend at the Aztec Invite hosted by San Diego State. This transition brings in a series of new events not seen during the indoor season. Events such as the Steeplechase, 400m hurdles, javelin and the 10k are now part of the event rotation. Also, the switch to outdoors also comes with a switch in the 60m and mile races, which now become replaced with the 100m and 1,500m, respectively.
The action begins Friday morning with the women's hammer throw at 1:00pm and continues in the afternoon with the "Distance Carnival," a series of distance events in which both the open and invitational divisions run in the same race. Competition will resume Saturday at 9:00am with the discus throw and will feature the sprints/relay events as well as the remainder of the field events.
Junior hammer thrower Ida Storm will look to continue her dominance on the field with another championship-caliber season in 2013. In her first two years at UCLA, Storm finished 11th and 5th, respectively, at NCAA Outdoor Championships, and earned back-to-back All-America honors. Currently, she boasts a best mark of 218-1 in the hammer throw event. Storm will also be joined by fellow Bruin Jaycee Olsen in the hammer throw, Friday.
The Distance Carnival will feature 23 Bruins across four different events: 3,000m Steeplechase, 5,000 meters, 1,500 meters and 3,000 meters. Many of the Bruin distance runners in action, though, can be seen in the 1,500 meter race, as 22 of the 23 athletes are scheduled to compete in that event. Juniors Rachel Butler and Sarah Toberty, along with seniors Allie Lopez and Katja Goldring, are four returning Bruins who will look to get the season started on the right foot this Friday.
Senior captain Turquoise Thompson will be another Bruin to keep an eye out for this weekend. Thompson was the runner-up in the women's 400m hurdles at the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Louisville, KY. The All-American ran a lifetime-best 55.25 in the final race, and used her outstanding season results to earn a spot at the 2012 US Olympic Trials. She finished sixth (55.42). This weekend, however, Thompson will compete in the 800m. This is considered an "off-event" for Thompson, but she will use this opportunity to bring herself back to the competitive stage after missing most of the indoor season with an injury. The women's 800m begins at 3:05pm.
There also a group of new faces that will be making their outdoor debut for the Bruins this weekend. Fourteen freshmen will be competing in San Diego for the Bruins and while some have already posted marks during the indoor season, some have been waiting for the outdoor season to make their splash.
"For a few of our athletes, this will be their first time competing in a Bruin uniform," Bolden said. "They have been training for a long time, but now it's time for them to go out and compete."

Who is this Chick & Why is she lovin' Summer?!
Wednesday, June 05, 2013
I never have been much of a summer person. I hate that it gets too friggin' hot. I hate to sweat. I hate that my feet swell. I hate that my hands swell. I hate seeing everybody running around in cute shorts, or heading to the water in cute swimsuits. I just hate it.
Until this year.
Now, I am not running around in cute shorts or cute swimsuits - I am not bikini ready. But I have come to realize that I may never be, but that is okay. I have also realized that if I wanted to wear a bikini even though I still have weight to lose, that is okay too. I am wearing cuter things than I have in a very long time. Use to be, all I owned was big & baggy & black. Now I have a rainbow of color in my closet. I wear things that don't make me look even bigger than I really am, so yes there are days that I look in the mirror and think, "that is cute, you look cute!"
This is the first year in about 2 decades that I have not been self-conscious about going out in summer time. It is the first year ever that I have just accepted and appreciate the woman that I am.
I am not trying to impress anyone. I am not doing this for anyone else really, but me. That is true and not true. I am doing this because I want to be around longer, and to be healthier while I am around, for my family. But you know what I mean. My weight loss and my weight loss goals are all my own, not something imposed by someone else. Not even a doctor.
Though I was very very close to that, and I knew it. I knew I was one twinkie away from diabetes. One monster cheesey fry away from a heart attack. Since my insurance company would not help with obesity (now they do starting 2013) I knew it was up to me if I was going to live a healthier, happier, longer life than the path that I was on.
Anyways, this year I just have an entirely new attitude. I don't mind wearing shorts. I don't even mind putting on my swimsuit - I was not mortified to wear it out in public to water aerobics like I would have been before. I am just more comfortable in my own skin than I can remember ever being, and I still have a fair chunk left to lose. Even when I was at a good weight and buff back in my 20's, I still had a distorted body image of myself and was always comparing myself to others, especially the air-brushed girls. If only I could go back and have a nice long chat with myself.........
Anyways.... I love working outside in my yard and around my house. I love that I am riding my horse again. I love going for Harley rides with DH. I love doing fun things with the grandkids. I love working in my garden. I love working in my flower beds. I love that I have energy to do things that need done, and desire for things that I want to do. And I really love that I am not letting some kind of body image or depression about being overweight, those things are not holding me back or keeping me a prisoner inside my house any longer.
I love that I am at a new place with my weight loss. It has definitely been a journey, a work in progress - complete with a stall for a very long time. I love that by making a few simple changes like strategically eating certain foods on certain days - the same foods I was eating before - the weight is coming off. Really love that!
Now, it technically is not summer. It is only late spring, so I may still hate it when it gets too friggin' hot, but for now, I am loving it!

Jan. 20, 2000
PULLMAN, Wash. (AP and staff sources) - Brian Jackson scored 19 points, including six in the final four minutes, as Oregon State edged Washington State 77-73 Thursday night in a matchup of Pac-10 teams.
Oregon State (9-6, 1-3 in league play) posted its first victory in Pullman since 1990.
Washington State (5-9, 0-5) dropped its sixth game in a row.
Washington State closed to within one, at 70-69, on a Mike Bush 3-pointer with 2:33 left in the game.
Jackson then scored a pair of baskets for the Beavers.
Bush, who finished with 18 points, followed with a layup and was fouled. He missed the free throw, but David Adams collected the rebound and layed the ball back in to cut OSU's lead to 74-73 with 1:07 left.
Deaundra Tanner made a basket and the subsequent free throw for the final score with 35 seconds left.
The Beavers led 35-30 at halftime.
With 13:49 left in the game, Adams' 3-pointer lifted WSU to a 45-44 lead. The lead changed hands the rest of the half.
Adams led the Cougars with a career-high 20 points, hitting all four of his three pointers. Jan-Michael Thomas had 18 points for the Cougars.
Adam Masten added 15 points for the Beavers. Clifton Jones had nine points and 11 rebounds.
Both teams put on a display of long-range shooting. The Beavers made nine-of-19 3-point attempts in the game. Washington State sank 10-of-19 from long range.
WSU shot better from the field than the Beavers, 51 percent to 50 percent, but struggled at the free throw line, hitting 52 percent (9-of-17). The Beavers also out-rebounded WSU by eight, 36-28, which was the Cougars' largest rebounding deficit since the Portland State game (10).
WSU started the game with just nine players available and played the second half with just eight. Not suited for the game were freshmen Bryan Whitehead (knee) and Nick Graham (ankle). Junior forward Tyrone Evans played five minutes in the first half, but reinjured his right hand that he cut during practice Monday. The tissue surrounding cut, which required 10 stitches, became too tender to allow Evans to play in the second half.
Evans will rest Friday and have the hand wrapped again Saturday and attempt to play against Oregon. Whitehead is questionable versus the Ducks, while Graham's injury will keep him sidelined for another month.
The Cougars host Oregon, an overtime winner at Washington Thursday night, Saturday at 5 p.m. at Friel Court.

College Hockey:Badgers, RedHawks One-Two In Pre-Holiday USCHO.com/CSTV Poll
MINNEAPOLIS — With only one of the top five teams in the country playing an official game last weekend, Wisconsin and Miami held onto their spots at the top of Monday's USCHO.com/CSTV Networks poll heading into the holiday break.
The Badgers garnered 33 of 40 first-place votes to hold down the No. 1 position once again, while the RedHawks earned six first-place votes and finished second. Wisconsin beat the U.S. Under-18 team 6-5 in an exhibition contest Friday, while Miami was idle.
Moving up to No. 3 was Minnesota, with Boston College following in fourth place and claiming the poll's remaining first-place vote.
Both teams were off last weekend, and both leapfrogged No. 5 Vermont, which dropped two spots after losing 2-1 to St. Lawrence on Saturday.
Positions six through 10 were identical to last Monday's poll. Michigan (idle), Colorado College (beat Alaska-Anchorage twice on the road), Cornell (idle), Maine (idle) and North Dakota (swept Bemidji State in a home-and-home) held down those slots.
No. 11 was again Colgate, followed by St. Lawrence, which climbed three spots after its win over Vermont. Denver was No. 13 after sweeping Minnesota-Duluth; the Pioneers were followed in the rankings by New Hampshire and Clarkson.
Harvard fell two places to No. 16 after losing to Dartmouth Friday, with Providence coming in at No. 17 and Lake Superior State No. 18 in the wake of a split with Notre Dame.
Ohio State reentered the poll at No. 19 this week, replacing Bemidji State. Boston University rounded out the poll.

Just Say No To Cox-1 & Cox-2 Inhibitiors: Five Necessary Steps to Fight InflammationFebruary 21, 2005
February 18, 2005 was an important day for drug makers, namely Merck and Pfizer, as the decision to keep their Cox-2 inhibitor drugs on the market looks ever so promising. Advisory groups to the Food and Drug Administration have recommended that the benefits of the Cox-2 inhibitors, (Vioxx, Celebrex, and Bextra), outweigh the risks. This in turn sent Merck, (maker of Vioxx), and Pfizer, (maker of Celebrex and Bextra), stock shares up 13 and 7 percent respectively. Not bad for a one day return in the bank. Now let's consider the health returns.
Cox-1 and Cox-2 inhibitors selectively block an enzyme that is responsible for inflammation. They are a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) because these medications essentially fight inflammation. Drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen and to some extent diclofenac, block both the Cox-2 and Cox-1 enzymes while other such as Vioxx and Celebrex block just the Cox-2. The reason so many doctors like the heavy duty Cox-2 meds is because they do not block the Cox-1 enzyme, which helps the stomach make a beneficial prostaglandin (a hormone-like chemical messenger), to protect the stomach lining. This is why NSAIDs often times cause stomach and gastrointestinal ulcerations. However, like all medications, there are risks and side effects. And in the Fall of 2004 when news resurfaced that the Cox-2 inhibitor Vioxx was responsible for cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks, turmoil erupted and it was pulled from the shelves. Merck's stock plummeted and medical doctors threw up their arms as they knew no other way to get their patients out of pain other than revert back to the NSAIDs. I covered this in November 2004. We have now gone full circle, so ironically enough it is a good place to pick up again here in 2005. (more…)
Finding Better Alternatives to Vioxx and Other Common Harmful DrugsNovember 21, 2004
Just last Thursday, (November 18, 2004), 39 law firms met at a café to vie for one of just two lucky spots to represent Merck in their forthcoming Vioxx woes. Vioxx is a prescription COX-2 selective, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has been on the market since 1999. Its primary uses were for the relief of osteoarthritis symptoms, pain management, and menstrual tension symptoms. It was later approved for the relief of the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis in adults and children. Although problems were seen soon after the drug was introduced, public awareness that the drugs increase the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke, has just recently been revealed.

Women's Lacrosse Holds Annual Team Banquet
PRINCETON, N.J. (5/14/14) - The Princeton women's lacrosse team handed out its annual awards and celebrated its seniors at the team's annual banquet last night at Prospect House.
Honored at the banquet were seniors Grace Bowen, Liz Cutting, Caroline Franke, Sarah Lloyd, Kellie Ragg, Mary-Kate Sivilli, Colleen Smith and Erin Williams.
Lloyd was presented with The Emily Goodfellow Award. It is awarded annually to that upperclass player who by distinguishing herself in the sport has contributed to team unity, morale and spirit and has demonstrated love of lacrosse and of Princeton. Established in 1991 by Mr. & Mrs. Thorp V. D. Goodfellow '41, parents of Emily C. Goodfellow '76, the only Princeton athlete ever to earn 12 varsity letters. Lloyd is the 2014 Ivy League Midfielder of the Year, who earned first-team all-region honors earlier this week. She finished fourth on the team in scoring with 28 goals and eight assists for 36 points. Lloyd was the team leader in draw controls with 40 and ground balls with 30, while adding 11 caused turnovers. Lloyd scored her 100th career point on March 29 against Cornell and ranks 22nd all-time in scoring at Princeton with 118 points on 79 goals and 39 assists. She is the all-time Princeton leader in draw controls with 152.
The Connie McCallister Award was presented to Smith. It is awarded annually to that player who, in the image of Connie McCallister, gives all of herself to the program through participation, effort, selfless dedication, enthusiasm and heart. This award is given in memory of Connie McCallister, loyal supporter and ardent fan of Princeton women's lacrosse, by the teammates and friends of her daughter, Brent McCallister '98. Smith is a first-team all-region and all-Ivy League defender. Smith finished second on team in caused turnovers with 14 and added 17 draw controls and 13 ground balls. She tallied her first career points this year with a goal against No. 14 Georgetown and a career-best five draw controls. She added three assists during the season while opening it with a career-high four caused turnovers at No. 6 Loyola. Smith was named the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week on April 20 after her defense against No. 10 Penn and Dartmouth. She anchored the defense that forced Penn into 13 turnovers and just 13 shots. She was also crucial in limiting Penn to just five goals, its fewest goals scored in an Ivy League game since April 15, 2006.

Brick Table "Weather Report" Tangible Multi Touch Interface from BricK Table on Vimeo.
"Weather Report" is the first piece of custom software we wrote to explore the uses of the Brick Table. It is a sonification piece intended to take some sort of data, and use it in a meaningful and musical way. Heres whats going on and how you make music.
When you look at Brick Tables screen, you will see a colorful map of the U.S., which is showing the current surface temperature of the United States. Split sectionally/regionally across the screen are 9 different audio loops. The user has three puck-like objects that can be used in different ways to create music.
- "Draw" Object – Draw a path around the map with this object to trigger any of the 9 different audio clips across the map. When you stop drawing, the path you drew will automatically begin looping itself, and re-triggering the sounds exactly how you drew the path. You will notice the audio being "filtered" and manipulated through a bandpass filter. This is being controlled by the surface temperatures of the areas you crossed while drawing the path. Because the surface temperature of a given place changes throughout the day, week, month, year…etc if you were to draw a path and make a loop at one point in time, as the temperature of those places changes, your audio will gradually change and evolve into new and different sounding compositions.
- "Rotate" Objects – Rather than trigger different sounds and manipulating the sound based on geographic location and surface temperature like the draw object, the rotate objects use the map data in a different way. Place the rotate objects anywhere on the screen and you will begin to hear sound. Find a sound you like, and stop rotating, and it will automatically begin looping that sound. Moving the rotate objects EAST and WEST across the map will control panning and spacial location of the sound, and moving the object NORTH and SOUTH will control the overall loudness of the sound in playback. With the rotate objects, you are basically adding interesting layers and textures to your composition and using geographic location, you have complete control over how the sounds fit into you "mix."
- "Finger" data – You can use your fingers in a similar way to the draw object. For our current purposes, we have turned finger sensitivity down, and use it in a way to get interesting results in conjunction with the draw object. When the draw object is down on the screen, if you press your finger on the screen, it will draw a straight line connecting your finger to the draw object. This allows the user to use the surface temperature data from regions outside of your drawn path to filter the sound in interesting and perhaps tweaky ways.

The Federal Trade Commission just filed its first lawsuit against a company accused of "mobile cramming," reports the Legal Times blog.
In a suit filed April 16, the FTC charged Wise Media, LLC, its CEO and co-owner Brian Buckley and another co-owner, Winston Deloney alleging this scam.
Cramming is when unauthorized charges are added to your telephone bill. The FTC has battled this on regular phone bills for years, but this is the first case of "mobile cramming," meaning charges added to a mobile phone bill.
Wise Media is accused of sending fraudulent premium texts. That's the billing system used for things like making a donation to a charity. In this case, the FTC alleges that the company earned hundreds of thousands of dollars for services like "HoroscopeGenie" that texts three horoscopes a week, or one called LongLife Love Tips, which sent flirting advice, and charging unwitting consumers $9.99/month.
The FTC wants to freeze company assets and make them pay back consumers in full.
So check your bill for cryptic monthly charges like "27140 HoroGenie Alert." If you find them, hang on to your bill and consider filing a complaint with the FTC. If it wins the case, you could get your money back.

Goodbye, Mr. Bush. You were never my president.
Your laziness is the reason so many of my fellow New Yorkers died on that fateful day. Had you simply been doing your job, had you READ THE MEMO and responded accordingly, you could have thwarted the attacks that killed my city. But alas, you had no time to read a memo entitled "Bin Laden Determined To Attack The United States." You were too busy golfing.
I wish you'd developed a sense of work ethic before taking the job.
Know that even if you're truly are as religious as you claim to be, you will never make it into heaven. You have more innocent blood on your hands than any other president in American history. With your ignorance, lack of integrity, and utter disregard for human life, there is a special place carved out for you in hell.
I hope you think often of the poor, innocent souls lost on your watch. I hope you think of them every night before you go to sleep, and I hope they haunt you for the rest of your measly life.
With no respect for you whatsoever,
An American Who Wishes You Were Never Born

With temperatures near 100 degrees and heat index readings near 110 this weekend, it is important to not overdo your outdoor activity. We have information below concerning safety in the heat.
There is a Heat Advisory and Excessive Heat Warning for much of the middle Tennessee area.
Stay safe in the heat this summer with the following tips on this link.
There is a chance for a random thunderstorm this weekend. Be careful when you hear thunder or see lightning. So far during 2010, there have been 27 tragic deaths due to lightning.
Friday's high was 99, the record is 103 from 1881. Highs for August are averaging 96.5, which is less than the heatwave of 2007 where temps averaged 98.7 through the first 13 days of August.

In A personal note….I wrote on my mother's rapidly declining health and the apparent paranormal ramifications in her home as a result. It all came to a culmination on Thursday, July 31, 2014, when Bobbie J. Hinton slipped from this world into the next. During the daytime hours her breathing had been labored with the rattle of her lungs filled with fluid. However, the evening hours were a different animal—quiet and peaceful, and that dreaded rattle had stopped. My brother and I were by her side when she took her last breath. I glanced up at the clock; it was 8:00 PM.
The funeral was held two days later in her hometown of Jamestown, Kentucky. An outpouring of family and friends came to pay respect and reveal their memories. There was never any question that I would not speak; I had to. It was a passage between my mother and me, and family and friends that had come to pay tribute:
"When we were kids, my brother Kerry and I and our cousins, would make the trip down to Jamestown from Indianapolis—and in a youngster's mind it would take forever—twisting along those curving Kentucky back roads along State Route 61, passing through Hodgenville, Greensburg and Columbia. It must have seemed forever to my mom also, but finally we would roll into Jamestown and she would be home!
Jamestown is where she was born, where she grew up, where she went to school, and where she dreamed of the prospect of her future life. But often we leave our home—mom did—only in the end to come back to what is familiar…what is comfortable.
Mom was a person of excesses, displayed by the number of bushes and shrubbery planted around her house; cutting her lawn sometimes two times in a week; by the amount of furniture and "items" in her home; by her rapid fire observation when something was not quite in its proper place. And her cooking! There was no such thing as a simple meal.
All of these became an extension of her personality—a part of who she was. This was Bobbie Joann Hinton.
Mom revealed in her childhood home, and while things don't sometimes go as planned, she readjusted and grew comfortable in a less hectic pace of life and in the love and support of her family and friends.
When she became sick it turned into a situation no one would wish upon themselves, or anybody else for that matter. She became trapped in her own body, with only her thoughts and memories. Her days of excesses had come to an end. We brought her home and always tried to do the best for her as we could, but never felt it was enough.
Mom was finally released from the prisoner of her body and is with our Lord. She can once again walk, talk, and most importantly—smile and laugh. Her passing is not an end but a new beginning!
Mom's greatest excess was her love for her family and friends. It's what kept her going. Thank you for coming and sharing her memory."
The tire tracks in the grass of her front lawn resulting from the funeral director's van for now remain. As are the tracks from the contractor's vehicle presently re-shingling the roof. The home is going through a transformation with a new roof. Mom has also gone through a transformation, now able to run on legs that will carry her through the grass and sunshine of a Kentucky afternoon back into a world she lost some five years ago.
The tire tracks in the grass will fade in time. My mother lives on in my memories.
My mother arrived in Washington Park East Cemetery in Indianapolis Tuesday, August 5, at 1:00PM. She was personally transported from Jamestown by the funeral director. My brother and I were there to see her off.
As I sat at her grave site I contemplated her ivory white casket with the rose etchings (a duplicate of the one her mother was buried in) and hoped I had honored her last wishes. I reflected on the song played at her service—one of two requests that she had bestowed on me many years ago—Bette Midler's "The Rose." The other was that she be buried next to my father in Indiana. I feel that I have made her happy.
