Troopers questioning juvenile suspect in fatal hit-and-run accident in Baldwin County
There are 3 comments on the Alabama Live story from Oct 15, 2012, titled Troopers questioning juvenile suspect in fatal hit-and-run accident in Baldwin County. In it, Alabama Live reports that:
Alabama State Troopers are questioning a teenager who may be responsible for the death of a bicyclist in south Baldwin County last night.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Alabama Live.
#1 Oct 15, 2012
I'm getting tired of hearing about bicyclist's getting hit by cars. They are always trying to prove a point and that is that they have as much right to the roads as automobiles. I go to Fairhope and they have spent millions of dollars making a paved walking/bicycling path for the entire length of the "scenic by-way" and yet most bikers are on the road and not on the path. Why should communities go out of their way to make walking and bike paths if these bikers choose to ride in the road and then when they get hit by a car it is always the car driver's fault? Yes, this was a young driver who may have panicked and was afraid to stop and help the victim. I don't know and that is not the point I am making. Cyclists have got to start recognizing that it is dangerous to be riding on roads that were constructed for automobiles and that they are the ones who have to take precautions while on them and not on designated bike paths.
#2 Oct 15, 2012
When I first heard this story I thought that it probably happened in Fairhope. I drive that area myself and see riders on the road all the time even though nobody is on the path. I also ride a bike and wouldn't take the chance of riding on the road when the path is the safest place to ride. That stretch of road is driven buy a lot of tourist that are busy looking at houses and the bay. A bike is no match to a ton or more of steel.
#3 Oct 15, 2012
And especially because it is only a 2-lane road and many times I have to almost come to a complete stop when coming up on a biker because there is a car coming in the opposite lane so that I can't even move over to give the biker a safe distance from me when I pass him. My wife got so frustrated once that she opened her window and yelled at the biker to use the path. These bikers are just asking for trouble and the car driver will get the blame and have the guilt for injuring a biker for the rest of their life. Fairhope needs to pass a law or code that forbids bikers from riding on Scenic 98. Other municipalities have done this so I know that it can be done.

Tootsie, one of the inarguably great American comedies
"The Tuesday Top Ten will get more article-like soon," he said (again). "It really will." But it was so much fun to discuss the 1930s and the 1970s, which are arguably the two most respected decades (critically speaking) of American cinema. So how about a decade that gets no respect? The 1980s. The '80s are tough for me to feel discerning about because I lived through them and was a) young and b) just falling in love with the movies and c) just falling hard for the movies so how could the cinema possibly have been hitting its nadir? I still have inordinate fondness for movies that might more safely be called guilty pleasures like Yentl, Superman II, Splash, Return of the Jedi, Clue, and about half of the filmography of John Hughes... and so on.

Odd List Aliya Whiteley Feb 19, 2013
Covering 85 years of cinema, Aliya provides her pick of 25 stylish, must-see French movies...
I'm going to kick this off in best New-Wave style by pointing out that we should be praising each great director's body of work rather than showcasing favourite movies in a list format; after all, France came up with the concept of the auteur filmmaker, stamping their personality on a film, using the camera to portray their version of the world.
Yeah, well, personality is everything. So here's a highly personal choice, arranged in chronological order, of 25 of the most individualistic French films. They may be long or short, old or new, but they all have one thing in common – they've got directorial style. And by that I don't mean their shoes match their handbags.

German Poker Pro Appeals Taxes On Winnings
Poker: Game Of Luck Or Skill? Answer Will Decide German Court Ruling
A former poker player is appealing against having his winnings of more than $1 million taxed. According to Tax-News.com, the test case is being looked into by a tax court in Cologne, which will have to conclude whether or not the game relies on luck or skill in order to reach a decision.
The tax authorities have demanded tax to be paid on the German player's winnings from 2001 to 2008 with the argument that professional poker players are carrying out a commercial activity, relying on skill rather than chance.
The plaintiff's argument is that his success relied mainly on luck and that skill and a player's influence does not guarantee a win.
Earlier this week a judge in the U.S. ruled poker was a game of skill while a Dutch academics published a paper suggesting poker was a skill game.
A verdict will be decided upon this year. In the meantime, hundreds of poker players in Germany are facing this problem.
almost 4 years ago
Who wins every time at anything? Even the great tennis players, golfers, nba stars etc get beat from time to time. Does that mean its not a game of skill because the best players lose from time to time? Absolutely not.
almost 4 years ago
Please do not win this case you selfish jerk. Ever since Black Friday, the poker community has avidly been trying to convince higher political entities that poker is a game of skill in order to regulate the industry properly. If this appeal goes through in Germany, a highly respected economic power, it will just supply fodder for ultra-conservative right movements in the US as well as other countries. Pay your damn taxes fool. If you don't know that poker is a game of skill after you played it for 7 years, then you are either a liar or an idiot. Ein Lügner oder ein Idiot.

THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/08/14 -- Benton Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BTC) ("Benton" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the results of its Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on July 8, 2014 in Vancouver, BC. At the meeting, shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of all items proposed. In particular shareholders voted to re-appoint Wasserman Ramsay, Chartered Accountants as the Company's auditor, and elected the Company's nominees for director: Stephen Stares, John Harper, Clinton Barr, Michael Stares and William Harper. Shareholders also approved the Company's acquisition of Folium Life Science Inc., a private BC company carrying on business exclusively in the medical marijuana sector. Shareholders resolved by special resolution the Company's intention to make an application for a share consolidation on a 2:1 basis which would result in the Company having 38,136,766 of its shares issued and outstanding as well as the Company's intention to make an application to change its name to Folium Life Science Inc. or some such similar name as the board of directors of the Company may determine.
Finally, shareholders approved by special resolution the Company's previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") and arrangement agreement pursuant to Division 5 of part 9 - Arrangements of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Arrangement is to facilitate the distribution of the Coro Mining Corp. shares (the "Coro Shares") to the Benton Shareholders as part of the reorganizing of the Company's business. The Company believes that distributing the Coro Shares to the Benton Shareholders and focusing its resources on the emerging medical marijuana industry is in the best interests of the Company and the Benton Shareholders. This separation will enable the Company to focus on developing itself as a leader in the medical marijuana industry while providing the Benton Shareholders with the right to participate directly in the success of Coro. The Company's management continues to believe that Coro will emerge as a successful developer of quality economic copper projects.
Upon the closing of the Arrangement, each Benton Shareholder of record as at the effective time on the date upon which the Arrangement becomes effective will receive one new common share in the capital of the Company (the "New Share") and its pro-rata share of the Coro Shares, which, as at the date hereof, would be approximately 0.8 Coro Shares for each Benton common share held (the "Benton Shares"). The New Shares will be identical in every material respect to the Benton Shares. The Company expects that shareholders will receive their Coro Shares in the next 10 to 15 business days.
Following the meeting, the board of directors appointed the following officers: Stephen Stares as President and CEO, Evan Asselstine as CFO, Clinton Barr as Vice President Exploration, and Gordon Fretwell as Corporate Secretary.
The Company would also like to announce that Raphael Gerstel declined to be nominated as a director of the Company, but will remain as a director of Benton Resources Inc. Benton would like to thank Raphael for his service as a director and member of the Benton team and wishes him every success in the future.
Stephen Stares, Company President and CEO stated "We are pleased that our shareholders have approved our acquisition of Folium Life Science Inc. and look forward to closing the transaction as soon as possible, subject to receiving all final regulatory approvals."
About Folium Life Science Inc.:
Folium Life Science Inc. is a private company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), which is in the business of creating a facility for the production and distribution of medical marijuana with the intention of ultimately becoming a Licensed Commercial Producer pursuant to the Health Canada's Marihuana for Medical Purpose Regulations (MMPR). Folium's head office is located in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Folium has planned and negotiated for a medical marijuana production and distribution facility outside of Victoria, BC. Folium's application to be issued a "Ready to Build" letter entitling it to build a production facility for the growing of medical marijuana, under Health Canada's Marihuana for Medical Purpose Regulations (MMPR) is currently under final review by Health Canada.
About Benton Capital Corp.:
The Company currently has approximately $1.5 million in cash. In addition to the cash, the Company holds 61,000,000 shares (approximately 38%) of Coro Mining Corp. ("Coro"). The Company also holds 1,566,623 warrants of Coro exercisable at $0.15 until December 20, 2016. In addition, Benton holds no debt and has a very low burn rate.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Benton Capital Corp.,

|Senior Accountant
New York, NY
I first learned about the "subscription gift box" when I profiled Birchbox in mid-2011. Since then the subscription business model has gained a ton of momentum with companies like Beachmint and Quarterly offering different takes on a similar idea. Glossybox is pretty much the same take on the same idea. They're a New York, NY based company that offers subscription boxes with "exclusive cosmetic samples and perfume samples from the best makeup brands online." The company is a Rocket Internet venture, which means that the Samwers are behind it. They are brothers who have a reputation for cloning American startups and bringing them to International markets at an insane pace (just look at Rocket Internet's portfolio companies to get an idea of the scale on which they operate). Glossybox has been around for just about 2 years, and they've already raised more than $70 million and shipped more than 2 million boxes.
Glossybox is just like other subscription boxes. If you read through their How It Works and FAQ pages, you should get a pretty good grasp of what they offer for consumers. What you may want to dig deeper into is how Samwer companies are run. Here's an example. Birchbox operates in four countries. Glossybox was in sixteen as of December. They are aggressive and not afraid to make mistakes. That can make for some amazing learning experiences, which is why you might want to consider looking at Glossybox's Careers page. Right now they're looking for an Associate Brand Manager and a Customer Care Manager along with a number of interns. Check the positions out and see if these jobs might be for you.

text: UH'S HOFHEINZ PAVILION COULD PICK UP TILMAN FERTITTA'S NAME That anonymous naming-rights-sized donation toward the redo of UH's Hofheinz Pavilion looks to be coming from none other than local real estate mogul and reality teevee star Tilman Fertitta, writes Benjamin Wermund this week. The UH board of regents, which Fertitta also chairs, voted to authorize the basketball arena upgrade last fall after the donation was announced. Fertitta also helped the university navigate the subsequent lawsuit from the Hofheinz family over the potential renaming; the matter was eventually resolved by new plans to rename part of Holman St. and to erect a statue of late county judge Roy Hofheinz near by. Based on a chat with former Georgia Tech Foundation president John B. Carter, Wermund writes that the board "would have to vote to accept Fertitta's gift and to name the arena after him. It's not uncommon for members of university governing boards to give large donations to the colleges they represent, but board members who become donors should recuse themselves from any discussions or votes about granting them naming rights on a university building."

Google has updated the YouTube app for iOS. The app now features an interface optimised for the iPad, iPhone 5 and includes other new features like AirPlay support.Google originally released the YouTube app for iPhone back in September after Apple announced its decision that iOS devices will no longer ship with the YouTube app preinstalled. The relationship between Google and Apple has frayed over the years, as the shift from PCs to mobile devices has increased the competition between the two companies.YouTube was among a handful of apps that came pre-loaded onto the screens of Apple's mobile devices since the original iPhone was introduced in 2007. The pre-installed YouTube app - which was actually built by Apple using YouTube standards - was not as full-featured as YouTube's own website, but it was popular.The latest update is good news for iPhone 5 and iPad users as they can now enjoy their favourite videos on an interface that's optimised for these devices. The app also adds AirPlay support, that enables iOS (and other) devices to stream music to AirPlay-enabled receivers like the Apple TV.Other new features include the ability to add or remove videos from playlists and improved accessibility.YouTube (iPhone/ iPad, Free)What's New in YouTube app for iOS version 126.96.36.19936

495 N. Watkins St.Memphis, TN 38104Details: Crosstown Concourse has signed another tenant. Memphis-based nexAir, one of the largest distributors of atmospheric gases and welding supplies in the U.S., will lease 33,000 square feet at the mixed-use tower.
The Shelby County Commission probably has enough votes to approve the funding in the county budget the Shelby County Schools system wants, which includes $24.7 million on new funding.
Yet after about four hours of discussion, the commission didn't take votes on any budget resolutions or the county property tax rate resolution Monday.
Crosstown Concourse has signed another tenant. Memphis-based nexAir, one of the largest distributors of atmospheric gases and welding supplies in the U.S., will lease 33,000 square feet at the mixed-use tower.
Crosstown Concourse has signed another tenant. nexAir, one of the largest distributors of atmospheric gases and welding supplies in the U.S., will lease 33,000 square feet at the mixed-use tower.
NexAir will leave its headquarters on Corporate Avenue to become the largest for-profit tenant at the Crosstown Concourse building. Construction on nexAir's tenant space is already underway, and the company plans to move its 65 corporate employees into the new headquarters in spring 2017. NexAir's fill plants, distribution centers and retail stores will not be affected by the move.
The University of Memphis is preparing some mechanical upgrades to its 50-year-old music building.
A $3.4 million building permit application filed with the city-county Office of Construction Code Enforcement calls for a "mechanical modernization" of the music building at 3775 Central Ave., which houses the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music, Harris Concert Hall and other related offices and classrooms.
When it opens in January 2017, the Crosstown Concourse building will place users in the medical, educational and arts professions side-by-side in a 1.5-million-square-foot building.
The developers' vision for the project is that through cohabitation, different sectors will inspire collaboration and creativity across seemingly disparate operations. That vision translates into the building's design, which emphasizes community spaces with tenants sharing entrances and even rented space.

For the first time in years, the Peabody Place mall was packed. On June 3, hundreds of ServiceMaster employees and a handful of business and government leaders ushered in One ServiceMaster Center, a multimillion-dollar headquarters for Memphis' fourth-largest public company.

Urban planners are born, not made. At least, that's how it was with Nicholas Oyler. From the time he was in middle school, he couldn't stop thinking about how cities work.
"I was always doodling skyscrapers," Oyler recalls. "I remember thinking, 'Why doesn't Memphis have more of them? And what can we do to get more?'"
A week that will likely end with the funeral of a Memphis Police officer began with a discussion about violent crime that is even at this early point proving to be different from the past discussions we've had at times like these.
ServiceMaster is converting Peabody Place into a corporate headquarters that would rival a Silicon Valley tech outfit.
On Friday, June 3, ServiceMaster laid to rest months of speculation about whether the company would relocate to a larger city like Atlanta or Dallas. Memphis' available Class A office space can't currently accommodate ServiceMaster's needs, so it looked to the retail sector for its new home.
It's Peabody Place for the new ServiceMaster headquarters. According to multiple sources, Memphis-based ServiceMaster will consolidate its operations and move into Peabody Place Downtown.
The formal announcement is expected Friday, June 3, at noon.

Alright, Memphis, it's time to get this week started with our roundup of happenings you need to know about.
The 2016 Memphis In May International Festival closes out Saturday with a pair of new additions to the monthlong lineup.The Saturday by the river begins with the Great American River Run – a half-marathon and a 5K run with a riverside and Downtown route. There is, of course, a post-race party, which then segues into 901Fest – four stages in Tom Lee Park featuring local music and arts, from Al Kapone and Frayser Boy to the North Mississippi Allstars to Opera Memphis and the New Ballet Ensemble & School.The idea here, and it may be an evolving concept, seems to be local and diverse and not as much of an emphasis on the stages and what happens there at the expense of those who stay after the run and those who come for the music and the arts.To dot the I on that point, 901Fest also includes an air show.
Crosstown High School could be a charter school after all.
That was the original plan when charter operator Gestalt Community Schools signed on as one of the early tenants of Crosstown Concourse, the transformation of the old Sears Tower on Cleveland Avenue. When Gestalt pulled out of the project in late 2015, a group of philanthropists and community leaders rallied to recruit another school for the mixed-use high-rise.

Barreling down Madison Avenue in a black corduroy blazer and a pert, pink pocket square, Bob Loeb seems distracted. Then I realize: he's editing. Move that tree, put a mural there. Tear that down, build that up.
Let's get this week started, Memphis! Here's our roundup of local happenings you need to know about, from the dreaded federal income tax filing day, to the scheduled end of the Tennessee Legislature for this session, to a couple of big round-ball games at FedExForum beginning Friday.
Now that you've had time to behold the large field of contenders in the Republican primary for the 8th Congressional District – all 13 – they are on the road campaigning on the way to the Aug. 4 election day.And it's quite a road with a lot of different scenery.Former U.S. Attorney David Kustoff is one of the seven contenders in the race from Shelby County. He hit the road Monday for three days of stops in each one of the 15 counties in the district.
The Memphis development community is looking inward and upward to increase density in the urban core. New construction is happening across all four commercial real estate sectors, with long-anticipated projects like Trader Joe's and the redevelopment of Central Station finally coming to fruition. Construction and operating costs continue to be a challenge as new projects hit the top of their class to command higher rents.
An upcoming fundraiser is giving thrill-seekers the chance to rappel down the 289-foot Raymond James Tower while supporting orphans and children around the world.
Memphis nonprofit Orphanos and Madison Realty, which owns the 21-story Downtown tower, have partnered for Over the Edge Memphis, scheduled for April 22-23.
You've heard of the mediation process surrounding the long-term use of the Overton Park Greensward by the Memphis Zoo for its overflow parking.It appears there is now a less formal mediation process underway when it comes to the use of the greensward during the park's spring peak season which is now underway.
East Memphis' most prominent office towers, Clark Tower and the iBank Tower, are anchors in a strategy to make the Poplar Avenue-facing corner more walkable and memorable.
Late last year, In-Rel Properties purchased the iBank Tower, bringing both towers under the same ownership for the first time. The Florida-based real estate group plans to unite the 16-acre office campus with increased connections to the surrounding East Memphis restaurants and retail.
Every place has a food.
Canada has poutine. Sure, the country probably has a few other things, too. But Canada has poutine.
And never mind that the gooey mess of fries, gravy and cheese curds actually has origins in Quebec, on the far eastern end of Canada. A few hours into our family's first visit to Canada in Vancouver – yes, on the far western edge of the country – the first meal had to include poutine.
Memphis nonprofit Orphanos and Madison Realty, which owns the 21-story Downtown tower, have partnered for Over the Edge Memphis, scheduled for April 22-23. The event encompasses four fundraising rappel challenges open to adults 18 and older who weigh 110 to 300 pounds.

Sometimes regrets and nagging "what if?" questions wait for a man at the end of his life, pushed out of view amid the everyday race to do the next thing, to just keep moving forward.
Until, finally, a man can ignore them no more.
Political opportunity is defined by timing.Witness a look at the early voting turnout numbers in advance of Tuesday's election day.
More than half of the more than 43,000 Shelby County voters who cast early ballots voted Monday and Tuesday – the last two days of an early voting period that began Feb. 10 – way back there when Martin O'Malley was the third Democratic presidential contender and Jeb Bush was considered a force to be reckoned with in the Republican primaries.
Here they come, fresh from Iowa and New Hampshire – first the surrogates and in the next two weeks the Presidential contenders themselves.
The nation's "first surrogate" – former President Bill Clinton is at Whitehaven High School Thursday evening to rally early voters in the heart of a large reliably Democratic middle class community.And it is that voter base that was integral to Barack Obama carrying Shelby County in the 2008 Democratic Presidential primary even as Hillary Clinton carried the state that year.As mentioned here Tuesday, the local Bernie Sanders campaign opens its Memphis HQ over the weekend.Hillary Clinton headquarters in Memphis and Nashville are on the way soon with the Nashville HQ opening Thursday as the former President is in Whitehaven and the candidate is preparing for another television debate Thursday in Milwaukee with Sanders.And early voting opened Downtown Wednesday.The first day's turnout Wednesday was 177 early and absentee voters. Combined with another 645 absentee votes cast before the early voting period, that makes 822 early or absentee votes.Another Republican contender on the ballot in Tennessee is out of the race. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie dropped out the day after his dismal finish in New Hampshire. He did not have a slate of delegates on the ballot here.
A plan to build three mixed-use apartment towers and garden apartments on the northern border of Shelby Farms Park goes to the Land Use Control Board Thursday, Feb. 11.

History can be like geology once you get it in something that isn't in the form of a book.There are layers on top of layers that you may not ever see or miss until a site is wiped clean for the next present that used to be the future and will eventually become the past.That's the case with the city's historic Medical Center where much has come and gone several times over as our city's considerable investment in medicine and health approaches the end of its second century.Health Sciences Park used to be the site of a hospital. You would think something as massive as the tower of Baptist Memorial Hospital's central campus on Union Avenue would be missed. Yet even those of us who grew up with its presence drive past it every day without a thought of what was once there.The same with the site of Russwood Park on the north side of Madison Avenue and the old bus barns where Beale used to run further east than it does now.In recent years, new facilities have arisen as the medical center makes itself over in a kind of economic regeneration without a comprehensive plan.There is now an effort to come up with a comprehensive plan for the area that is more than different ventures buying or leasing land and making plans for their needs.Eight of the institutions in the area have hired a consulting firm to develop a master plan that includes not just facilities but residential and retail areas.It's a significant step for an area that remains intriguing for those of us trying to remember what was where and how long some of the survivors have been holding out in much different streetscapes than were there when they arrived.The Masonic lodge at the dead end of Dunlap into Union Avenue is a survivor. It's where the funerals were held for some of those killed in the 1925 river disaster in which Tom Lee rescued so many others.The lodge at one time had an earth-shaking pipe organ that I had the rare privilege of hearing at a concert following its restoration in the 1980s – the ancient 1980s.And I still wonder about the tiny medical textbook storefront and how it endures at a time when students rent books and others use digital versions.There are still remnants of the porous border between the medical center and the Union Avenue auto row that used to exist and arose around the old Ford plant.

Well & Good
"Tell me your list", my friend and I would ask each over a few years ago over email, and then most days we would each take great relish in listing everything that we had eaten that day.
It was very cathartic, and could often be quite bolstering. A little like going to confession, one assumes, with the added bonus of hearing someone else's sins. "Ooh she's had a chocolate bar for lunch dessert today!" I would enthusiastically muse to myself and then reward myself with a free pass to eat whatever chocs I fancied that day.
"Oh, but then she had a salad for dinner", I would note, gloomily.
The tell me everything you ate game is not the only way that I have bonded with friends over food. There's my 'being bad' friends, where we firmly believe in treating ourselves, and my 'being good' friends where green smoothies and sanctimony are a go-go. There's the friends that I make eat half my chocolate bar so that I can share my guilt around and the ones where we try to out-do each other in the "I'm so bad" stakes.
For those not familiar - likely the kinds of people that can break bread with friends without any kind of subtext - it's a peculiarly toxic game that comedian Amy Schumer satirised in this gruesome skit on her show Inside Amy Schumer.
"I was cyberbullying my niece on Instagram the other day and I literally ate 15 mini muffins," Schumer announces to her group of friends in the skit. It's okay, they're "the opposite of big" and "basically nothing!" her friends counsel. Things soon escalate, and it's not pretty.
Food and friendship can be tricky terrain for some people. As this study noted, most people are influenced by what their friends are eating (or not eating).
In setting out to measure what cues we take from our social circles, researchers found that students ate less biscuits on a whole when their friends avoided the biscuits, compared to when their friends indulged in a couple of biscuits. Even when the friends were split up, people continued to eat fewer biscuits alone if they had just watched their friends avoid eating the biscuits.
Think about the last time you went to brunch, did your first choice of pancakes get pushed aside when your friend ordered the 'clean eaters' delight?"
And is that really a way to live?
It's a familiar scenario to Kelsey Miller who is documenting her journey into intuitive eating as part of her Anti-Diet project for Refinery29. In a great piece she wrote of the difficulties her new way of eating - ie listening to her body and eating what she wanted - had created in her social life.
"Food has a way of drawing lines between friends, and it sucks. How many times have you started a diet with a friend in the hopes that you'd support each other and keep each other honest? Sometimes it works, and you spend a few weeks hitting the gym together, reporting every froyo skipped and every cocktail made "skinny." And then, someone starts to deviate," writes Miller.
For Miller, breaking away from these associations has been hard, just as learning not to think about dieting is learning to forget years of programming.
For Louise Adams, clinical psychologist at Treat Yourself Well in Sydney, the difficulty in breaking the link between food and friendship is one that she sees a lot, and it comes down to the way diets mostly only succeed in making us feel bad about our body.
"Because so many women are unhappy with their bodies, we can start to bond with other women in this dissatisfaction, and then we start to encourage each other to diet or be 'good' with food," says Adams.
Thoughts like this, says Adams, can mean that friendships can become competitive with food as the trigger - whether you're being 'good' or 'bad'.
"Overall, what's really going on is that many women are bonding in their body dissatisfaction, and the food behaviour is the result of this dissatisfaction," says Adams.
So how can we break this dieting dichotomy of "good" and "bad" that has, as The Huffington Post pointed out, "so commonplace that you're essentially forced to comply."
For Adams it comes down to being more self-aware and compassionate toward ourselves, and others.
"Recognise 'diet mentality' for what it is - over-learned ideas about 'good' and 'bad' foods that don't help us to look after ourselves," she says.
"The truth is, food is just a substance, it is neither good nor bad - that's an unhelpful judgement. Instead of eating from rules, tune into the body's natural signals of hunger, fullness and satisfaction. Learn mindful eating as an alternative to diet mentality. Re-claim a relaxed relationship with food. And practice self compassion, being kind and supportive towards yourself rather than judgmental and mean."
The best part? Eating mindfully, and rejecting the "I'm so bad talk" will only make your friendships - and your brunch catch-ups - better.
As Adams says,
"Love your friends, and yourself, regardless of body size. Spend your life living and experiencing things right now rather than waiting 'until' you're thinner.
And that includes eating as many, or as few, biscuits as you like.

Four Minnesotans, including two future Gophers, will play for the U.S. team in the under-17 World Challenge from Dec. 28-Jan. 4 in Drummondville and Victoriaville, Quebec.
Defenseman Ryan Collins of Bloomington and Jack Glover of Golden Valley were teammates at Benilde-St. Margaret's last season and helped the Red Knights win the Class 2A state title. Now they are teammates on the under-17 national development team in Ann Arbor, Mich., and they and most of the other players on that team made the U.S. roster for the World Challenge.
They also have both committed to the U. So they will play for the Gophers in two, three years.
Among the handful of players added to the U.S. team -- not on the development team -- were forward Austin Poganski of St. Cloud and Keegan Iverson of St. Louis Park.
Poganski plays for St. Cloud Cathedral and earlier this week committed to North Dakota. He is a junior and is averaging about two points per game for his high school team.
Iverson plays for the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League.
The U.S. team has finished second in the 10-team World Challenge the past two years. It is in a group with three team from Canada and Slovakia this year.

Ashley Billasano (18) tweeted 144 times before she committed suicide by suffocation

Suicide by:
Rosenberg, TX
view their profile
HOUSTON - Ashley Billasano did not show up for school at Rosenberg's BF Terry High School Tuesday morning.
Instead, she took to her Twitter page, saying there was so much more she wanted to do.
"It's obvious she needed somebody to talk to and that's what I believe those tweets were," said Chief Craig Brady with the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Department. "She was trying to communicate and trying to get people to talk to her."
In those 144 tweets posted over the course of 6 hours, Billasano claimed she was molested and forced into prostitution.
She talked about how she dealt with the pain the first time.
"I went to the bathroom and locked the door"
"I took apart a razor. I did what I had to do to forget. I swear after that night I was never the same"
She talked about confiding with a boyfriend and telling her secret.
"I remember telling my closest teacher and CPS and the police detectives," she said. "I remember having to tell them everything."
"It is my understanding she made an outcry apparently a year ago in Williamson County up close to Austin about some allegations of sexual abuse," Brady said. "My understanding, that was looked into the sheriff's office there, the D.A'S office and a grand jury. There was no indictment issued."
That decision had a profound impact on Billasano. She tweeted:
"Weeks passed, then I got the call. They said sorry but there isn't enough evidence I hung up."
"That's when I changed I didn't care anymore and the people I was meeting gave me no reason to."
More than 500 people were following her Twitter account when she tweeted, "I'd love to hear what you have to say but I wont be around."
And finally her last tweet,
"Take two. I hope I get this right."
Tragically she did. Billasano committed suicide by suffocation.
"We don't want to get into a lot of details, we don't want any copy cats or promote it," Brady said. "There's some indications this may not be the first time she actually attempted this particular method which she learned off the internet."
While grief counselors tend to other students at BF Terry High School, sheriff's deputies will be pouring over the heart-wrenching tweets.
It's not known how many people were following Billasano's final moments and thoughts.
The bigger question: Why didn't someone seek help for her?
Her tweet postings have been removed. It's not known at whose direction.
