Tried Everything to Lose Weight? 10 Things You Need to Know
If you think you've tried everything to lose weight, think again! Here are 10 things you need to know about weight loss – from vegetarian diets to 100 calorie snack packs.
Before the tips, a quip:
"I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something," says Julia Cameron, author of The Writing Diet: Write Yourself Right-Size. "Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat belt. The most remarkable things follow."
Whether you want to lose 10 pounds or 10 inches — you have to commit yourself by saying you're doing it! And, you have to find what works for you. I've heard a lot about the weight loss pills alli, but I've never tried them. I've lost 25 pounds without weight loss pills, but what worked for me may not work for you.
Check out the Alli Weight-Loss Aid if you've tried everything but can't lose weight. It works for some people!
And, here are my tips for people who have tried everything to lose weight…
Tried Everything to Lose Weight? 10 Things You Need to Know
1. Figure out why you're overweight. If you don't know why you've packed on the pounds, you'll never achieve your weight loss goals! I was overweight because I never let myself get hungry, I wasn't taught that some fats in moderation are good, and I ate to make myself feel better about my life. I was – and still am – an emotional eater. But now I weigh 110 pounds (I'm 5 feet tall), and I feel great about my size and shape.
How did I lose weight after I thought I tried everything? By getting happy, and learning from my skinny husband's eating habits (which I describe in The Best Ways to Lose Weight).
2. Examine why you keep falling off the wagon. "For many of us, a diet is an exercise in futility and self-flagellation," writes Cameron in The Writing Diet. "We set a plan in motion and then we sabotage it. We take a step toward our goal and then we relapse. We undo the good we've done."
Figure out why you sabotage your weight loss efforts. Do you relapse at night? What are you favorite relapse foods? Who are you with? If you've tried everything to lose weight, become aware of why you relapse. Then, use healthy substitutions to stay on track: hobbies, exercise, writing, and self-awareness. Write out your feelings to help you identify why you're eating. Are you sad because of your brother? Are you stressed because of work? Writing – especially while you're eating – can help you identify and deal with your feelings.
3. Pause for one minute before you eat anything. When I ask my husband, "Should we have some chocolate chip cookies that I just pulled out of the oven?", my hubby pauses. He thinks for at least ten seconds. He checks in with his stomach. He checks with his head. I don't know what he's thinking about exactly, but he doesn't just say "okay let's eat the chocolate chip cookies!"
Have you tried thinking before eating? I never did.
4. Savor an indulgence every second day. I love my homemade chocolate chip cookies, and I have to keep making them because my husband (and now my friends!) demand them. Instead of denying myself, I've taught myself to enjoy a cookie or two every second or third day. Not every day, and not every hour. Knowing that tomorrow I will indulge helps me resist my craving today.
If you eat too much, here are the best ways to stop eating at night. My favorite tip is to eat with a blindfold on!
5. Refrigerate your canned goods. This is my favorite weight loss tip, from Dr Oz: put canned soups, stews, and other items in the fridge. When you open them, you'll see that the fat has solidified on the surface, and you can scrape it off and throw it away. In a year, you can lose six pounds with this weight loss shortcut. If you normally eat a lot of canned soups and stews, this will help you lose weight.
6. Chew sugarless gum. If I'm craving cookies, I go for the gum. In fact, I'm chewing a wad of Bubblemint Extra right now! It satisfies both my sweet tooth and my urge to put stuff in my mouth. This tip is almost as effective as working out with yoga DVDs to achieve your weight loss goals (which is another way I lost weight permanently).
7. Step away from the scale. "Freed from the tyranny of numbers, we begin instead to focus on ourselves and our own perceptions," writes Cameron in The Writing Diet. "When we release ourselves from the daily use of the scale, we find ourselves able to embrace a more "easy does it" approach to weight loss. We begin to see that as long as we are moving in the right direction, the speed at which we reach our destination matters less."
If you've tried everything to lose weight and you weigh yourself daily, get rid of the scale.
8. Avoid those 100 calorie snack packs. Those mini snack packs aren't a tip for losing weight permanently! They don't work – they often contain of trans fats, corn syrups, and other unhealthy products. Plus, they're expensive and bad for the environment (all that extra packaging). To achieve your weight loss goals, make your own 100 calorie snack packs at home with raisons, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, etc.
9. Remember that exercise doesn't significantly affect weight loss."Exercise has many health and emotional benefits, but it doesn't make a huge difference when it comes to weight loss," says James Hill, the director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver. "You can restrict your food intake by 500 to 1,000 calories starting tomorrow, but you have to work out for a long time, or at a very high intensity, to burn as many calories."
That doesn't mean you should stop working out! It just means that what you eat is more important than how long or hard you exercise. If you've tried everything to lose weight but nothing works, remember that exercise isn't the answer.
10. Eat a vegetarian diet and lose weight faster. Vegetarians tend to be slimmer than meat-eaters, and have lower rates of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. "There is evidence that a vegan diet causes an increased calorie burn after meals, meaning plant-based foods are being used more efficiently as fuel for the body, as opposed to being stored as fat," says Dr. Neal D. Barnard of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. To lose weight permanently, lay off the burgers and fried chicken.

Actually u r right about the trigger of eating at night. I found mine. I usually before sleeping watch online movies or series and I need to have some good food on my hand at that time. Well I hv either got to stop watching at night or busy my mouth with smthing not full of calories and i also do eat when i am annoyed or stressed. I will try to seprate it from eating but I do north know how. But great tips.
Thanks for your comment, Ashley. I agree – realistic, well-planned weight loss goals can keep you focused and motivated.
I also like the volumetrics plan: eating lots of fruit and veggies to keep you full. Theoretically, the fuller you are, the less unhealthy food you'll eat! And the more likely you'll achieve your weight loss goals…
Thanks for your comment, Ashley — it's great to see you here!
New research shows that improving your mood and dealing with depression can help you achieve your weight loss goals.
The new study, which appears in the November/December issue of the journal General Hospital Psychiatry, cites past surveys that show having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more — classified as obese — increases a person's risk of depression by 50 percent to 150 percent.
"I expect that the relationship between depression and physical activity goes in both directions," said lead author Gregory Simon, M.D., of Group Health Research Institute in Seattle. "Increased physical activity leads to improvement in depression and improvement in depression leads to increased physical activity. We see in our study that they go together, but we can't say which causes which."
Simon and his colleagues evaluated 203 women ages 40 to 65 with an average BMI of 38.3. Participants underwent baseline tests to measure their weight, depression score, physical activity and food intake.
They placed the women into two treatment groups — one focused on weight loss and the other focused on both weight loss and depression. Both interventions included up to 26 group sessions over 12 months, and researchers followed up on participants at six, 12 and 24 months after enrollment.
The researchers found the most significant changes happened in the first six months and then remained stable afterwards. At six months, among the women who had at least a one-half point decrease on the Hopkins Symptom Checklist depression score, 38 percent lost at least 5 percent of their body weight. This compared with 21 percent of the women who lost the same amount but had no decrease — or an increase — in their depression score.
"Most weight loss programs do not pay enough attention to screening and treatment of depression," said Babak Roshanaei-Moghaddam, M.D., of the psychiatry and behavioral sciences department at the University of Washington in Seattle. "This study further underscores the importance of screening for depression in such programs that can potentially lead to both physical and psychological well-being."
Nice Post! Well-planned weight-loss goals can help you convert your thoughts into action. Weight-loss goals can mean the difference between success and failure. Realistic, well-planned weight-loss goals keep you focused and motivated. They provide a plan for change as you think about and transition into your healthy lifestyle.

Given our youthful cynicism, we always suspected we might grow up to be something like The Muppet Show's Statler and Waldorf. Much to our surprise, it only took us to age 25 - not 65 - before we turned into rage-fueled critics. We'll wear this Haters Gonna Hate T-Shirt ($20) not as an indictment of haters, but an acknowledgment of our own grumpy attitudes. Yeah, like you wouldn't heckle Fozzie Bear!

Charles Plumet
(1861-1928), one of the most influential French residential architects at the turn of the 20th century, conducted a successful career capped by his appointment as chief architect of the 1925
Exposition des Art Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes
. His role in the Exposition, from which we derive the term "Art Déco", was not only to design many of the major architectural elements, but to coordinate a large group of master architects, each of whom espoused radically different aesthetic viewpoints. Plumet was a natural choice for this sensitive task of harmonization, having collaborated repeatedly with architectural and decorative arts luminaries such as Henri Sauvage, Louis Marjorelle, and René Lalique. For purposes of the Exposition, Plumet even managed to reign in the modernist tendencies of his former student, Le Corbusier.
Our building, constructed in 1893, was Plumet's fourth residential design. Two of its predecessors can still be seen at 151, rue Legendre and 2 bis, rue Léon-Cosnard. Our building exhibits many similarities to Plumet's grander building at 35, rue de Lévis which was designed just a few weeks later. Many of the architectural features of Plumet's mature Art Nouveau style, though not as florid as they would become in later years, are already in evidence--mosaic floors, arched windows, bright red brick contrasting with colorful enameled brick, decorative stained glass, projecting bays with stone columns, and arching balcony supports that sweep up and outward from the facade. Plumet drew heavily on Italianate and neo-Renaissance influences that readily lent themselves to the development of full-fledged Art Nouveau style. An interesting discussion regarding the evolution of Plumet's style can be found
(French only).
Nineteenth century Parisian apartment buildings were intended to house families of varying economic means. The ground floor (
rez de chausée"
) would have been occupied by storefronts and caretaker's lodgings, while the merchants themselves lived just above, on the first floor (the French first floor is the equivalent of the American second floor). Since elevators weren't common, the most prized apartments were generally closer to the ground floor; thus the third floor, where our apartment is located, would likely have housed the building's wealthiest residents. In your walks around Paris, you may notice that if a building has only one balcony, stained glass window or other interesting architectural element, that feature will nearly always be on the second floor (remember--the American third floor). Upper floors, all the way to the attic, housed families of increasingly lesser means. Servants made do in tiny attic rooms under the slanting eaves and shared a communal bathroom on the landing in the stair hall. That same top floor in our building is now a single large apartment with private elevator access!

Sept. 27, 1999
LOS ANGELES - The No. 3 UCLA men's water polo team (6-1 overall, 1-0 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) will take a rare bye weekend to prepare for an MPSF matchup with No. 8 Long Beach State (4-4 overall) Oct. 5 at Belmont Plaza and the Northern California Tournament to be held at Stanford, Oct. 9-10. The Bruins will face the 49ers under the lights at 7 p.m. for the only scheduled night match of the season.
UCLA DROPS NO. 1 STANFORD, CALIFORNIA: The Bruins had a successful weekend in Northern California, as UCLA pulled off an exciting 6-5 victory over top-ranked Stanford, avenging a prior 9-7 loss to the Cardinal in the SoCal Tournament Sept. 19. Junior Sean Kern (Honolulu, HI, Punahou HS) scored the game-winner with just 22 seconds remaining in regulation to cap a four-point fourth quarter, giving the Bruins the come-from-behind MPSF win. UCLA completed the NorCal sweep, handing No. 6 California a 11-9 loss behind two two-point goals from senior Matt Armato (Long Beach, Wilson HS). Junior Andrew Bailey (San Clemente, San Clemente HS) scored the game-winner with 3:59 left to play.
TWO-POINT SCORING BARRAGE: Not quite half-way through the season, the Bruins have already tallied seven two-point goals. Last year, UCLA scored a total of two two-point goals. Armato leads the charge with four two-point goals, including two at Cal and one which tied Stanford 5-5, setting up the eventual game-winner by Kern. Junior Adam Wright (Seal Beach, Wilson HS), junior Brian Brown (Santa Ana, Foothill HS) and Kern have scored one two-point goal a piece.
THE LONG BEACH CONNECTION: When UCLA faces Long Beach State, Tuesday, Oct. 5, four Bruins will be reunited with their former high school coach, Ricardo Azevedo. Armato, Wright and redshirt freshmen Ryan Brown (Long Beach, Wilson HS) and Mike Komrosky (Long Beach, Wilson HS) all played for Azevedo at Wilson High in Long Beach. Azevedo begins his first year as the head coach of the 49ers water polo program.
ROAD WARRIORS: Following the season opener at home vs. UC Irvine, the Bruins will not host another match until Oct. 16 vs. Cal at the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center. UCLA continues its road streak at Long Beach State Oct. 5, before returning to the Bay Area for the Northern California Tournament Oct. 9-10.
BRUIN NOTES: UCLA has outscored its opponents 70-43 in the first seven games of 1999 and has scored no less than six points in one match. In goal this season, senior netkeeper Parsa Bonderson (Santa Barbara, San Marcos HS) has collected 49 saves and has allowed 5.66 goals per game.
GS1 GS2 Total Points Matt Armato 11 4 19 pts. Adam Wright 11 1 13 pts. Sean Kern 8 1 10 pts. Dave Parker 7 0 7 pts. Andrew Bailey 6 0 6 pts. Brian Brown 3 1 5 pts.

The Mount Estate and Gardens
Lenox, MA 01240
Phone: (413) 551-5111
Edith Wharton, author of The Age of Innocence and of Ethan Frome, was the first woman to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. She designed for herself a classic mansion, built as an architectural statement in 1901-1902. To celebrate its centennial in 2002, the mansion underwent restoration as a National Historic Landmark, and is currently in the final year of its designer showcase exhibition. Open daily May-Oct. 9-5; $16, students $8, under 12 free.
If Edith Wharton were alive today, the novelist and coauthor of The Decoration of Houses would probably have her own show on HGTV documenting the restoration of her 1902 Classical Revival mansion in the Berkshires. Even owners of more modest old houses know that restoration never ends, but some recent achievements at The Mount include the replanting of Wharton's flower garden and the coup of returning her 2,600-volume library intact to the shelves here. Ongoing restoration work in the bedroom is a window into the painstaking process of replicating the expression of a woman known for her timeless taste.

In my opinion, this is not serious ... How much is this "toy"?
facedodge: My guess is $999 for this lens. $100 dollars more than the 35 1.4 for the extra glass.
1500$ u can by Canon ef 35 L USM
Read the news. I use lenses firm Canon, the last few years. I am sure that Sigma can not create something completely new, it would be able to competitors with Canon ef 50 f.14, both in price and in quality. I wonder how this lens will cost?
Canon ef 50/ f.14 - my favorite lens
jmmgarza: Samsung is a Korean monster. They are turning out very good products. How about their lenses?
In Israel, it is impossible to buy any lens "Samsung", and Canon or Nikon have them anymore
Good portrait,like it
Perfect shot.Regards,Alex.
Good shot,good idea. The picture plot was pleasant, but the big exposition was necessary to work parts in shadow.Regards,Alex.

Panthers sign high-scoring junior Hazen to entry level deal; Clem in net
Also, coach Pete DeBoer said that goalie Scott Clemmensen will be in the nets again tonight against the Islanders. Clemmensen is coming off his first shutout in nearly a year in Thursday's 4-0 rout of the Maple Leafs. …
RW Evgeny Dadonov will play tonight as Mike Duco went down to Rochester much to DeBoer's chagrin. Duco had two fights in two games and seemed to energize the third line.
"Duco did a great job for us. Dale and Mike Santos makes those decisions on who comes up and who comes down. I like both guys contributions to our lineup (referring to Patrick Rissmiller)," he said. "[Rissmiller] does fit the profile of where we want to go which is bigger and faster."
DeBoer on Dadonov: "Dadonov is an automatic. As soon as he was healthy he was going to come back in the lineup. Goal scoring has been an issue before the Toronto game. It's been a real big problem over the last month and a half. We welcome Dads back. He's got some skill and could make other people better. He was playing real well, went to the All-Star game and …"
DeBoer joked that Dadonov's game tailed off when he went to All-Star game for skills event. He's been out since Feb. 4 after breaking his finger in the Montreal game on Feb. 2.

As the people of Uruguay (and marijuana activists around the world) wait on the full set of rules for legal ganja in the Latin American haven, details are starting to leak out. The document is nearly two weeks overdue from when it was supposed to be released, and now it seems that government officials are working on ways to stymie the illegal resale of weed on the black market. It makes sense seeing as one of the main goals of the program was to eliminate the seedy criminal underground associated with the illegality of marijuana and replace it with a government-run program.
President José Mujica had asked that no details be leaked before the official publish date, but last week the world found out the new regulations:
The country is set to limit marijuana sales to 10 grams a week for each licensed user. Pharmacies would also not be permitted to sell the 40g monthly allocation all at once. All things considered, this is a good start to the experiment that will set the standard for new countries to legalize. Uruguay is still working out a method for taxing pot so that it could be on par with alcohol and cigarette sales and sources have stated that the government is battling with methods for tracing each strain from seed to smoke, as they say.
Bravo to Mujica on his soon-to-be legal weed market and we hope that that program keeps evolving into something everyone can be proud of. For now, put 40 grams aside for us; we're coming for it!

College Hockey:Walsh Investigating Treatment Options
ORONO, Maine — Maine coach Shawn Walsh is travelling today to the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Md., for tests designed to identify his next course of cancer treatments. He will stay at the National Cancer Institute until Tuesday, when he will return to Maine to prepare his team for Friday's Hockey East semifinal game.
Walsh, who is suffering from kidney cancer that spread to the lymph nodes under his breastplate, underwent two rounds of immunotherapy at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center in August and October. Subsequent tests showed that the tumors had not grown, but still remained.
A story in the Boston Globe claimed that Walsh will pursue a stem cell procedure. This requires a donor who matches Walsh's genetic profile on three of four points. Walsh's younger brother, Kevin, matches on all four points.
However, that report was premature. Several other options are also being considered and no decision has yet been made as to which one will best treat Walsh's condition.
"My family, my players and I are very grateful that, as our team has been in our stretch run, the media has stayed away from my health issue," said Walsh. "And I would appreciate their continued respect of my desire to strictly talk hockey. Right now, I want to be able to concentrate on our team.
"Once we identify the actual treatment and procedures I will undertake, I will make that information available and address the media."

Love him or hate him, D.C. Councilman Barry knows his way around local bureaucracy. Three days ago his car was impounded for unpaid tickets and other violations. Today Mr. Barry is again cruising around town in his 2002 Jaguar after forking over $1,779 for $2,800 in unpaid tickets. In the words of our former mayor, "A number of people who heard about the issue called and offered to pay the balance, and I just want to express my gratitude for their kindness and generous offer," Barry said. "I paid the balance of these tickets, in the amount of $2,339.00, from my own personal funds." Unlike many politicians on the Council of the District of Columbia and Congress who went up in flames, Mayor Marion Barry was never accused of taking a dime from the city's coffer or from unscrupulous individuals seeking a quid pro quo. Integrity was never in short supply even in his darkest days.
Unknown to Americans outside Washington, D.C., if "Marion" had owed ten times $2,800 and was unable to pay it, residents would have stood in line waving money to get him back on the road. Hundreds if not thousands can point to their first job in his administration that launched their careers and paved a path to the middle class. Moreover, electorates once relegated to the shadows of representative neglect gained a voice downtown and felt welcomed at the front entrance instead of the rear door, once the de facto "Colored" entrance where black residents went to work in uniforms with bent backs and low self-esteem. Marion stood tall the day he arrived in a city still mired in the vestiges of Jim Crow and often blatant exclusion.
Most in this country know little about the colorful and often vilified former mayor of the Nation's Capital. If they know anything at all, the majority would point to the short chapter of his self-destruction instead of the decades of being one of the most transformational city leaders in the country. Unfortunately, dark clouds seem to leave more of an impression on memory than the sunny days that outnumber the sojourns of narcissistic behavior. The damage done to District's reputation paled to the lingering effects of over-indulgence to his pride and health.
But who is Marion Barry besides the politician who was caught in a drug sting operation on January 18, 1990, at the Vista Hotel in downtown Washington, DC. Barry was arrested with former girlfriend, Hazel Diane "Rasheeda" Moore by the FBI and D.C. Police for crack cocaine use and possession. Ms. Moore had turned into an FBI informant before she enticed him with the promise of sex. Once there she encouraged him to smoke freebase cocaine before they went to bed, while agents watched from another room via a hidden camera. As he was being arrested, Barry shouted his anger in words that became fodder for late-night comedians: "Bitch set me up...I shouldn't have come up here...goddamn bitch."
Long before Mr. Barry's career literally went up in a puff of smoke, a young, dashiki-wearing Marion Barry came to D.C. in 1965 for the express purpose of managing the local Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) office, which then was located at the intersection at 13th and U Streets, in the heart of the Black business community. Today that block across the street from Ben's Chili Bowl is in the center of an area known as the "U Street Corridor." Now on most evenings one can often count the number of sepia faces within the sea of diversity, which many cite as the result of gentrification or a subway system to Prince Georges County.
When H. Rap Brown became chairman of SNCC in 1967, Barry quit and joined forces with fellow Fisk student Mary Treadwell to establish Pride, Inc., a Department of Labor-funded program to provide job training to unemployed black men. This became the platform which launched him again into the spotlight and an eventual run for public office. In 1971, a tonsured and business-suited Barry announced his candidacy for at-large member of the school board. He went on to defeat then incumbent Anita L. Allen for her long held seat. Barry became an out-spoken member of the board during his tenure (1971-1974).
After years of being micro-managed as a post-reconstruction plantation by southern members of Congress, in 1973, Washington got Home Rule, after an act of Congress was signed into law December that same year by then President Richard Nixon. Barry was elected as an at-large member of Washington's first elected city council. Notwithstanding the District of Columbia having Home Rule, its powers were precluded from the following:
- Lending for private projects;
- Imposing a tax on individuals who work in the District but live elsewhere;
- Making any changes to the Heights of Buildings Act of 1910;
- passing any law changing the composition or jurisdiction of the local courts;
- enacting a local budget that is not balanced
- absolute authority over the National Capital Planning Commission, Washington Aqueduct, or District of Columbia National Guard.
Despite being financially hamstrung by Congress, Barry served as chair of the District of Columbia Committee on Finance and Revenue. During his tenure minority contractors for the first time were able to bid on city projects from a level playing field. This infusion of money into the black community spurred the creation of new minority-owned businesses and seeded fallow fields of entrepreneurship.
In 1977, a group of Hanafi Muslims stormed the District Building (today the John A. Wilson Bldg.) and laid siege for two days. Councilman Barry was shot in the chest inside of his office. But always the proverbial phoenix, Barry recovered and used his new fame to propel him to a run for mayor.
Mayor Marion Barry served for three consecutive terms until his conviction and subsequent imprisonment for cocaine possession in 1991. Mr. Barry served a six-month sentence at two federal prisons until his release in 1992. After coming home, Marion Barry reconnected with his faith. During that time he married Cora Masters, who helped him maintain his sobriety and to re-launch his political career.
Drug-free and inspired, the erstwhile mayor cast his eye on government again. This time he vied for the Ward Eight council seat and easily won. But not holding the executive office made Barry yearn for his old job. In 1995, he ran for a fourth term and was victorious again. Barry's last term as mayor was free of personal woes but the city was in a financial quagmire. Seizing the opportunity to reassert control and to put Barry "in his place," a Republican dominated Congress established the District of Columbia Financial Control Board, which meant the buying of a paper clip had to be approved by this draconian body. Marion served out his term but refused to run again for mayor due to the loss of Home Rule.
"Mayor for Life" Barry regained his Ward Eight seat on the Council in 2002. For those unfamiliar with the demographics of the District of Columbia, Councilman Barry serves a constituency "East of the River." While there are glimmers of diversity, the electorate east of the Anacostia River remains predominately African American and working class. Barry's humble beginnings in the South picking cotton as a child endeared him to the residents of Southeast D.C., who were often shut out from the ladders of economic ascension. Marion never forgot the pricks in his fingers from harvesting another man's crops. The pain became an impetus to excel.
While there have been four women called Mrs. Barry, his third wife Effi (nee–Slaughter) was the one who added elegance to his persona during his rise to political power. When Marion Barry threw his hat into the ring, he was rejected by the "Old Guard," the well-established local black middle class. The then unpolished upstart from Mississippi was deemed "not one of us." Ironically, it was the white middle class and black working class who catapulted him from the City Council to the first real boss of the District of Columbia. All of that was made possible by Effi's her ability smooth the rough edges of a zeitgeist.
Today the once vitriolic, afro-wearing community activist approaches his seventy-ninth birthday. Some would call him an old lion who has lost his mane. But they would be wrong. A panther does not have a mane. Marion Barry's youthful plumage may have gone but the fire still burns with fervor in his belly. On any day during council proceedings one can hear him raising objections when city resources are not being equally allocated to include his voters. And on any day of the week if you happen to be driving down Pennsylvania Avenue south of the river and you see a crowd of people on the sidewalk, don't be afraid. It's just "Marion" doing what he has always done – listening and talking to the people he loves, the ones who never turned their backs on him when he had fallen from grace.
Considering how the face of Washington, D.C. is changing, it is doubtful a bronze statue will one day be commemorated in front of the District Building. If you know the full and true story of Marion Shepilov Barry Jr., your memories of him will probably shine brighter and certainly last a lot longer.

Several news outlets are reporting the University of Southern California football program will receive a two-year postseason ban, a reduction in scholarships and a forfeiture of wins from at least the 2004 season when the NCAA announces its ruling from an investigation of four years of the school's football and basketball teams.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the NCAA informed USC of its decision regarding allegations centered on Saints running back and former USC star Reggie Bush and former basketball player O.J. Mayo. The NCAA could make its decision public as early as today.
USC has already admitted wrongdoing with the basketball program and sanctioned itself in January for violations that occurred before and during Mayo's one-season stay in 2007-08, when the team was coached by former UNO and Hornets coach Tim Floyd. Floyd now coaches at Texas-El Paso.
USC's self-imposed sanctions included a ban on postseason participation, a reduction of scholarships and vacating all of its wins from 2007-08.
Much of the football investigation centered on Bush, the former Heisman Trophy winner who is accused along with his parents of taking improper benefits, including a rent-free home from a sports marketer.
It remains unclear if the Heisman Trust will strip Bush of his 2005 award if he is ruled retroactively ineligible for the 2004 season. It also remains unclear if former USC and John Curtis running back Joe McKnight will be named in the rulings.
McKnight missed this past season's Emerald Bowl while USC officials investigated whether he violated NCAA rules by driving a sports utility vehicle registered to a Los Angeles area businessman.
Bush, Mayo and McKnight all have denied any wrongdoing.

Aglianico, the name of this red wine variety which is now at home in Southern Italy, is believed to be derived from Ellenico, the Italian word for Greek. This gives us a clue that the wine may have been introduced by the Greeks who settled in Southern Italy a couple of millennia ago.
The variety hasn't moved far since, seemingly content to hibernate in obscurity in the southern Italian regions of Campania and Basilicata, but that is now changing.
In his latest book Wine Terroir and Climate Change, Gladstones includes Aglianico in Maturity Group 8, along with varieties such as Montepulciano, Mourvedre and Carignan.
In Italy this variety makes full bodied elegant wines with firm tannins and high acidity. Aglianico is made into varietal wines or is often the dominant variety in blends.
It sometimes plays a minor role in blends with other varieties such as the ubiquitous Sangiovese.
The Italian DOCGs of Taurasi in Campania and Aglianico of Vulture in Basilicata are where the best Aglianico wines are produced. Learn about Italian wine regions with this map.
In Australia the variety has been introduced into the Murray Darling Region with encouraging results.
Aglianico's ability to make deeply coloured and aromatic wines in warm to hot regions indicate that it is a variety with considerable future in Australia.
As more wineries and grapegrowers become more concerned about global warming they are looking for varieties like this one, and for example the white varieties Fiano and Bianco d'Alessano.
These wines are firm and full bodied. Perhaps you could choose a game dish such as wild boar, or kangaroo.
In Southern Italian cuisine spicier sauces are often used for pasta dishes. One of the favourites in the region is Spaghetti alla puttanesca, prostitute's spaghetti, where the sauce is made with garlic, olive oil and tomatoes but given a spicier savoury flavour by the addition of anchovies, capers and chili.
A strongly flavoured sauce demands a robust wine, and Aglianico fits the bill.
This book recommends pairing Aglianico with Lasagna and Neapolitan Ragu

10/14/2011—No tricks from Lexus this fall, just a couple of nice treats in the form of two sharp-looking special edition vehicles, the ES 350 Touring Special Edition and LS Sport Special Edition.
The amped-up ES 350 Touring Special Edition (above) comes in two color options: Stargazer Black, which is unique to a Lexus sedan, and Starfire Pearl. The model is also equipped with 17-inch wheels[1] with Liquid Graphite Finish.
Inside the vehicle, Lexus added some snazzy touches. In addition to a black with Saddle Tan accent leather-trimmed interior with contrast stitching, there are brown walnut wood accents and a wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob, plus the car includes HDD Navigation[2].
As for the Lexus LS Sport Special Edition, it includes the LS 460 Sport's unique touches such as the sport exterior trim and grille, sport-tuned air suspension, and leather-trimmed sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, as well as 19-inch forged alloy wheels[3] with Brembo® performance brakes[4].
This version dresses up the interior nicely with exclusive Black and Topaz Beige leather-trimmed seating, matte dark brown ash burl wood accents, bolstered climate-comfort sport front seats, and the Lexus Navigation System[2] and Comfort Package.
Note that these two special editions are only half the story this fall. Arriving this month is the CT F Sport Special Edition (which Lexus magazine will cover later this month), and making its U.S. debut at the SEMA auto show in early November will be the 2013 GS F Sport.

Co-produced/Co-directed by Deb Ellis and Denis Meuller (directors of Howard Zinn: You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train), The FBI's War on Black America looks at a dark period in our country's history. The film is a documentary exploration of the lives and deaths of people targeted by the US government's COINTELPRO program, an FBI launched program aimed against organized efforts by African-Americans to gain rights guaranteed by our constitution. Includes both archival footage and contemporary interviews with people involved in the movement.
The FBI's War on Black America offers a thought provoking look at a government-sanctioned conspiracy, the FBI's counter intelligence program known as Cointelpro. This documentary establishes historical perspective on the measures initiated by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI which aimed to discredit black political figures and forces of the late 1960's and early 1970's.

Local, state and federal agencies are working to clean up an oil spill after a ship collided with a barge on Saturday.
Officials say a "significant" amount of oil leaked into Galveston Bay when one of its tanks was breached.
They say winds and tides are moving the oil farther into the Gulf.
The barge was carrying 924,000 gallons of fuel oil in its four tanks.
Officials say all the oil has been safely removed from the barge.

If you drive around, find the postman, will he give you your Amazon package
i am bored!
i want to start a game!
I am a shrews fan, but never start with shrews, but learn the game first. I am thinking of being newcastle united.
If you drive around, find the postman, will he give you your Amazon package
i am bored!
i want to start a game!
I am a shrews fan, but never start with shrews, but learn the game first. I am thinking of being newcastle united.
Worth a go I suppose! Bring some ID
He shouldn't. I suppose if you had proof of ID and your address (photo driving license, passport, utility bills, that kind of thing) then he might.
Of course, you run the risk of him thinking you're a bit, well, you know, sad.
thats why i am still inside waiting!
My postman has come and gone and not left my amazon package!!!!!!!!!! Wish i hadn't paid extra to ensure it turned up today!!!! Damn you Amazon!!!
i hope mine arrives, or i may go into town buy, and send the amazon back
This is why i'm quite glad my postman is fairly consistent with his deliverys so i dont get irritated that its not here.
Although sadly i have to wait on a courier bringing my new PC which is 10x worse as i've no idea when it will get here and to top it off even when it gets here i cant hook it up as i cant find the power lead for my monitor so have no screen and possibly wont have one by tonight
Really, he should not. I'm a postman and we're not supposed to give anything out, it physically has to be delivered. But it's entirely the postmans choice, whether he wants to run the risk of giving it to you.
I've just been to see my postman and he has no packets for me, therefore Play.com haven't sent it soon enough (said it was dispatched wednesday, utter lies). So I'm going to buy it on Steam and send the ordered disc back. The service from Play has gone downhill since they grew
No please don't, we really hate it when idiots come up to us asking for stuff that's in a different bag to the one we're carrying
i wont be doing it.
though I think he wont have it anyway.
Same here, bloody Amazon
i did standard, and it was dispatched yesterday.
just hope it gets delivered!
bloody play.com where my copie
mine was delivered on the 4th by amazon, but i did pay first class
I'm the same, I ordered from Amazon and it hasn't arrived, and I did it First Class. I came home from school early to play it aswell (the beauty of only having one lesson on a Friday ) I'm not even sure mine has been dispatched yet :S
You can anesthetize the postman, grab your FM copy from his bag and let him a letter of excuse about the hurry.
Am a postman and people do that all the time, just ask him , be nice take ur id and a few letters with your adress on it. it saves him the work of going to your door
GAME let me down, I preordered in Septmeber and it got dispatched yesterday. The local GAME store which is 25 miles away have told me I would be able to purchase a copy from them today if necessary and then once I recieve the parcel from the online GAME store I can take it there and get a refund. Ive spent all morning sorting out and saving tactics in the demo to not waste any time. The postie is in the next street so I am just waiting for him to come before I decide whether to go and travel 25 miles to get it from the local GAME store. If it doesnt come by the posite, I am already peed with GAME as I have heard people who ordered it later than me have got there copy and I will be even more so peed off.
I will keep you posted.....
Mine has now been dispatched now, but it won't arrive until the 8th :d So now I'm buying on Steam and returning the Amazon one
Sorry to hear about all your guys problems with pre-orders The only way to stop the total crap service of the big companies is for everyone to send the game back and get a refund which most of you are doing.
I've never pre-ordered because stores talk the talk but don't deliver, literally...well not on time atleast.
The postman went shooting by our window on his bike so I stomped to go to get my coat on to go and travel 25miles to buy the game from the local GAME store. He popped it through the letterbox
That's why you use 'GAME', lads. ;D Happy Days.
I knew my package had arrived at my uni because I tracked the package and it was 'delivered' however the package notices hadn't been put out yet, and usually you have to wait for that! (I know from past experience!)
But this time I went to reception and said I've received a very important package, and I'm about to catch a train and I need it! So she gave it to me!! Yahoo!
I'll lie, cheat, even KILL my way to Football Manager!!
i went to gamestation in the end
will return the game to amazon if/when i receive it

Likely 2012 Republican Presidential contender Tim Pawlenty slammed the GM and Chrysler bailouts today to reporters. He didn't just take issue with certain aspects of the bailouts, such as putting unions ahead of bondholders, but the very idea of a government aided bankruptcy for the auto companies. He favored "traditional bankruptcy" instead, which would have been free of government control. It's not that I doubt that he believes it now, but this is something much easier to slam a year later than to have made the call at the time.
I'm not sure if it was asked, but the obvious question is what would have happened if they could not get funding and were forced to liquidate? The answer would undoubtedly be that such things happen in a free market system and it's not the government's job to bailout failing companies. People will still buy cars, they'll just be made someplace else.
This will likely be only acceptable position for Republicans to take who are running for President, even if they supported bailing the companies out. It's the consistent ideological position, but I have my doubts that today's Republicans would let stand by and watch GM collapse.
There is no downside to criticizing the Bush and Obama approach for Pawlenty or any of the other Republicans today. Regardless of what they would have done had they been in power, it's a good way to score points with the base and it has no bearing on what actually happened.
My guess is that most Republicans would have reluctantly given in and done something to save the auto industry because they wouldn't want their lasting legacy to be the president who "lost" the Big 3. This isn't just an academic exercise for candidates either.
It's not ridiculous to think that the new GM or Chrysler might be in dire financial straights again in a few years, and that they could be in power while it's happening. They'll probably have painted themselves into a corner, where it would be damaging to go back from (remember "read my lips"?).
Would Pawlenty have bailed out GM and Chrysler if he had been president in 2008? Well, he supported Henry Paulson's $700 Wall Street Rescue, so it's not out of the realm of possibility. As much as any conservative wants to shrink government, it would be pretty tempting to throw a few billion (pocket change for the federal government) at the problem to avoid watching the epic collapse of one of America's most beloved industries. Or even to just delay it until it's on someone else's watch.
The true ideologues probably would have bailed out no one, but none of them have even a remote chance of winning the nomination. With few exceptions, most of these candidates don't know what they would have done, but that won't stop them from slamming the auto industry bailouts for the next few years.

Each week Novato Youth Soccer and Extreme Pizza present the Players of the Week. The winner's photos are also displayed on the wall of the restaurant in the Vintage Oaks shopping center.
Eber has performed all year as our best striker and most effective goal scorer. His unique tactics of lobbing the ball over his head to himself in the goal box, then pouncing past his defender and beating the keeper made him a force to be reckoned with for any opponent.
Eber has a fierce competitive drive and works well with his teammates. It is joy to watch Eber compete on the field and find amazing new ways to get the ball into the net.
Coach Bill: I would like to nominate Toula as the U14 girls Extreme Pizza Player of the Week. Toula is a terrific player and a great role model for other players on our team and in the league. She consistantly gives her best efforts in practices and during games. She unselfishly stepped up to play goalkeeper for one half of every game, and is a big reason why the U14 Fusion team is undefeated through ten games, giving up an average of less than one goal per game.
Coach Tyler:
In the past week and a half Emily has netted seven goals in four games. She recorded a hat-trick in a cup game against Wesco, followed by a two goal performance at Mill Valley to clinch the Fall Region 5 League Championship. Emily followed that up with a two goal performance in the final seeding game of the NorCal Cup to help her squad finish top of the group.
Coach Yasert:
Kevin is my nomination for the U12 Boys Extreme Player of the Week.
Kevin is an amazing player. He is extra dedicated to improve and always positive. Kevin is always ready and waiting for practice, but the most importantly he is such a great kid.
Coach Janice:
I would like to nominate Hannah as the Extreme Pizza Player of the week. Hannah exemplifies everything that makes a great player. She is dedicated to the team. Every Tuesday she attends both volleyball and soccer practice consecutively. During game time she plays the center mid position and switches rapidly from attack to defense as needed.
She is generous to her teammates and passes the ball and concedes control, basically she makes her teammates look good. She frequently gives other players a chance to score. She never complains when asked to play a position that is not a favorite of hers. She frequently works with less developed girls during skills drills and helps them develop their talents. She understand that a teams needs to work together to be successful and always plays with that in mind.
Coach Ted:
Coach Carbone:
I would like to nominate Jared for the award. He scored 5 goals from the right back position in the Novato Classic and has worked hard all season to improve to the level he is now at.
Coach Snearly:
Coach Johnson: Bella - new to the team this year and a welcome addition from our Dixie friends. Although new to the team, Bella has been quick to impress with her natural abilities and her hard work. Her attitude and hustle is inspiring and she consistently produces great defensive plays which has earned her a constant role in the defensive line.
She has shown remarkable growth during the pre-season in her confidence and her sense of field awareness, permitting her to read plays and become a better player. She is the consummate defender who "leaves it on the pitch" every time!!
Coach Yassert: Christopher is an amazing and a key player. I've been coaching Christopher for almost 2 years and the improvement during that time is completely amazing -- he brings so much confidence to the team. He's an amazing defender and also a good goalkeeper.
I can see a bright future with Christopher if he decides to continue with soccer. I really admire this kid -- he's always on time and playing with the love of soccer -- that make the difference. I'm so proud and happy to be his coach.
Coach Cal:
The Soccer Beasts would like to nominate Ruby for Extreme player of the week. Ruby was the clear choice for both coaches; she is like an "energizer bunny bulldog" on defense for us every game.
Playing stopper, she always demonstrates non-stop effort in pressuring the ball, consistently winning possession, and passing up the sidelines to her teammates. She shows great instincts for being in the right place at the right time to make the play. Most importantly, she plays fair and always has a positive attitude and a huge smile on her face as she's running at top speed to track down the ball.
Coach Gary:
Coach Snearly: Nia is our U9 nomination. She is focused, hard working and plays with heart. This past weekend we played in a playdate in Fairfield and Nia, our central defender, helped stop the forward progress of the attacking forwards and distribute the ball to her teammates with composure and accuracy. Her speed, fearless approach and foot skill helped us quickly transition back into the attack.
During one offensive attack on our defense Nia stepped up to intercept a pass, settled the ball and switched field helping us catch our opponent off guard.
Coach Monroy: I want to nominate Diego Anton. Diego is an all around quality player, but most important a great role model for his teammates. Diego plays left and center mid field on the 03 Boys.
His work ethic is very impressive. Diego works really hard on his technique both at practice and home, pushes himself to be the best two footed player on the team and performs drills to the best of his ability.
When game time comes he turns technique into skill, weaving in and out of defenders on the ground and attacking the ball in the air. His specialty is scoring goals with his left foot and heading in goals at will. We are lucky to have Diego on our team.
Coach Wnuk: Taylor has been very committed to her team this season and has shown excellent focus and energy in her training. She was able to take those efforts to our first Jamboree in Morgan Hill. There, she displayed wonderful spirit and hustle and scored a team high four goals. Her team play was very good and she displayed excellent sportsmanship. We look forward to enjoying Taylor's awesome dribbling and finishing skills this season.
Coach Monroy: Elvin Maldanado is a very dedicated player with lots of talent. Always one of the first to arrive at practice, games and extra training sessions. The consummate team player who never gives up on the pitch. His natural ability and passing skill make him a force to be reckon with all the time.
Coach Clinton:
The winners are two twin brothers: Grant (left) and Zachary (right).
Zachary and Grant are nominated as Extreme Players of the Week for their outstanding performance at defense and offense, their terrific attitudes on and off the field, and their fairness with their teammates.
Coach Chelini:
Coach Jason: We would like to nominate Diego for Extreme Player of the week.
This is Diego's second season playing Novato Youth Soccer and there is no shortage of enthusiasm here. He is a scoring machine and helps set up plays for his U-7 Dragon teammates.
The real reason Diego has been recognized is his commitment to good sportsmanship and respect for the game.
Coach Erica: Jair is a quiet kid. He applies everything he has learned at practice during our games. He is happy to play, hustles and never gives up, but is happy to sub out to let another teammate play.
Jair's knowledge of the game allows him to play both offense and defense. He has scored many goals but has also saved many goals. He never gets down when our opponent scores. Jair has a passion for soccer and even though he doesn't say much, the passion comes through when he steps foot on the field.
Coach Ciolino: Jo Jo demonstrated great sportsmanship in our first game, when he help pull up another member of the opposing team that had fallen down on a play. He was also super caring and made sure the kid was alright and gave him some encouraging words as he pulled him up. This made me really proud of Jo Jo, and it showed his great character.
In addition, Jo Jo kicked a goal in our first game and showed off his strong leadership skills.
Coach Ciolino: The thing that impressed me the most about Gianna was her dribbling ability. She displayed excellent speed and ball control as she moved the ball up and down the field.
She also showed her competitive spirit by pursuing the ball the whole game and never stopping to take a rest. Her determination and hustle paid off with her scoring a goal.
Coach Julius: John competed fairly throughout the camp session. He aided younger players to perform to their satisfaction by sharing balls with them. John never missed a day of camp and was always early to camp. he took part in every single exercises that were assigned to all campers. He never complained and a joy to coach.
Coach Julius: Marilyn attended her first full camp and showed good sportsmanship throughout the camp week. She stood out in camp as she competed fairly with the boys and girls. Her younger brother also took part in the week camp and she made sure he had fun. She showed some leader qualities!

The University guidelines define plagiarism as follows: "Plagiarism is the presentation of the thoughts or work of another as one's own." In addition, the guidelines explicitly state that submitting an assessment item that has already been submitted for academic credit elsewhere may be considered plagiarism and that knowingly permitting your work to be copied by another student may also be considered to be plagiarism. All this applies to computing assignments.
In this policy, we distinguish three categories of plagiarism:
Students are free--even encouraged--to explain the subject material to each other. However, as far as assessment items are concerned, the limit of this cooperation is the exchange of program code. It is perfectly fine to explain an assignment specification to each other, but solutions (even if partial) may not be exchanged.
Academic staff can at their discretion reduce a penalty or grant supplementary assessment if they believe that extenuating circumstances apply. All Level 3 offence will be recorded in the plagiarism register, which allows the Head of School and FSEO to monitor that penalties are only reduced where appropriately justified by extenuating circumstances.
Before you can receive any penalty for plagiarism, the lecturer has to ask your opinion on the case. If you disagree with the lecturer's assessment of the situation, explain your view as clearly as you can and try to provide evidence for all of your claims. If a conflict cannot be resolved with the lecturer, turn to the School's grievance officer. Further escalation of a grievance case is to the Head of School or FSEO as per University plagiarism guidelines.
The School Office will maintain a register of all plagiarism incidents. To guarantee transparency, students can request to see their personal entry in the register. Staff has access to the register on the same basis as they have access to student transcripts. The School Office forwards entries to the Central Plagiarism Register as required by the University plagiarism guidelines.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by KCW5 Adorable This iPad cover is adorable! I have the 2nd Generation iPad and bought this to protect it. It's really great looking and seems high-quality. The only downside is that its a bit too big and there is extra space on the sides when the iPad is in the cover. WIsh it held my iPad a little bit more snug but its fine. November 21, 2013

We recently rented a vacation house and after checking out and getting home the owner then sends a nasty email stating that all of these damages were done to the house. And that he has filed a police report against us and then cashed our security deposit check. How and what rights am I allowed in order to fight these charges - he has since sent pictures and is demanding $2000.00 + dollars for repairs. Every single item he is claiming that is damaged we dont agree with. How can I prove that we didnt do it or what rights do I have?
And when we checked out he came and met us and walked over the house with us. Unfortunately I didnt get anything signed with his ok, but if the house was so awful wouldnt he have noticed when we were doing our walk thru?
