If people think fruit (carbohydrates) makes people fat, then do they think protein and FAT make people thin?
Pork crackling makes you thin...
Then there's the 'fish is good for your brain' myth when the opposite is true due to the mercury.
Even some in the paleo area regard low-carb to be rubbish...
the paleo diet is the complete opposite of living life like Grok.
First of all I am pretty sure Grok hunted his own wild animals and ate fruits since it helped give him energy.
The Paleo diet is nothing but a scam considering WE are nothing like we were 1000 years ago.
Early humans were primarily gatherers, not hunters as has been taught. No need to hunt when you can just eat an apple.
The Paleo diet did not exist, it is modern.
Read the World Peace Diet by WIll Tuttle, he explains the advent of herding culture thoroughly.
The start of the book is a bit slow and too spiritual for me, though the middle is excellent, the end becomes somewhat boring and again spiritual but not unbearable, overall a lot of valuable information sandwiched in there.
yeah, hear you my friend with hunters, same in here about gatheres...
I just reply, well our genome change more than few tousand years ago...so I am ok, noone in that time was having weapons and heat and cooker by his weist titen up:D.
Bdw. try to replay on the subject of this, well I tell the mamals not to then eat fruit and grass, coz they need to continue eating milk:D.... yeah it is great bussines, coz it is more calorie dense and more hormones, but I dont want to live that fast life, leave it for your my freind, I got more patience in life, too much buty in the world, to live fast:).
and cooking for hygine argument I say, well I will tell it to a friend with a baby nursing to do it why she get flu, or even better that she better feed chemical prepared artificial milk "a sunar:D" ;).
I had a talk with my friend about this. He basically thought of things with sugar as things that gave him a sugar rush and things which didn't as not having it. Basically he (whom I tried to correct) and most others have redefined sugar to mean refined sugar essentially, sugars that are concentrated unnaturally to give a sugar rush. Thus fruits do not contain their redefined 'sugar' while their foods do. It's basically lots of people who redefined a word unknowingly. So the term is 'accurate' in a sense between them, but not between them and people who know the proper definition. It's essentially a basic language problem where a word is misused so much that its definition among a subset of people changes and becomes 'erroneous', but still has a meaning. Kind of like 'chili' which has also widely been redefined and people say 'chili' when it would really be more accurate to say 'vegetarian chili' or something.
Yes, I have been reflecting in this direction, redefining my personal image of "carbohydrates".
hahaha, my mum always argue how sweet my foods are, that she would eat it, if I dont put that much dates in:D....
yeah people are on rush with lifestyle in general, that dont make one comftible as well....
about bf. My bf. said to other around, please make here eat something, she drink all the 3days blended orange.... he think it is not food I guess...
maybe if you sit her down and explain to her how much you are eating and how you are getting enouh cals / show her crono-meter stats, she will lighten up. theres a fine line between being concerned and being hurtful <3
my hair become extremally full after few years raw and I was struggleing with it since thyroid problem...they fall out and grow very full and strong...(by scan, they told me I got more than "above averadge" no limite even for such as:D...and I am blond and should have got a weak and bad condition....actually they have no issue and I cut them an year back:D....also Catrina buck. she has amazing hair, same freelee;)
That's encouraging, because I have really thin hair. I'm hoping to heal it with raw 811. :)

Older runners meet here.
You are really having some Weather down there in the sarf'east, aren't you? Or should I say in the Sarf, the New Forest is more-or-less in the middle, I think.
TE, that was a heavy session with the club.
Diana - what sort of head torch is yours? I want something as light-weight as possible, as i don't really like wearing things on my head.
BIW - there's an outlet near here which sells wild boar as meat. Never tried it, though.
Columba, yes, this has been the worst weather for years and it's not even officially winter yet. The club session was really tough, but you only get out of training what you put into it.
Just finished MrsJJ's tax return for last year. Ran 5 miles this morning in the cold, rain and gale force wind. The return journey was as slow as the outward stretch because I was bushed after running 2.5 miles into the gale. Dog walked this afternoon in similar conditions.sarnieTough call. Hope the damage is superficialColumbaYour bad weather arrives Thursday. Should be dry in the sarfeast.TEGreat training session. I love reading about 'em!IWI've met wild boars and wild bores.JJ
JJ thanks, I'll continue posting my sessions. Unfortunately, I'll have to give tonights sprints session, which is 3 sets of 5 x 30 seconds a miss, as I am having my flu jab this afternoon, and it is not advisable to run afterwards. I will, however, go for a run this morning.
The forecast today is for up to 60 mph winds by lunchtime, so I'll get my run out of the way, before I get blown away!
Columba - wild boar meat is very tasty, it isn't at all like pork, it's darker meat more like beef. Many restaurants here serve it, and you can usually buy it frozen from supermarkets. Traditionally served with dumplings and cranberry relish.
Ran 5 miles this morning with no rain, but the start of the very strong winds. I ran in road trainers as I had approx 50/50 road and grass. The grass was very soggy and I made the mistake of deciding to run in the tracks of heavy vehicles which had been used earlier for work on the overhead pylons. The surface was black and hid deep mud underfoot. I nearly lost a trainer twice in the mud and when I left the track, it was onto waterlogged grass. Conditions were really tough, but I pushed the pace hard throughout, and in the circumstances, was pleased with my time of 45.24.
I'm now "looking forward" to venturing out again soon for my flu jab.
Columba I have a Petzl head-torch. I'm not sure of the model, as I've had it almost 6 years now. It has 3 brightness settings plus a flashing setting, and is a lot lighter than many of my club mates torches.
TE, I was lucky with training last night, as by 7, it was dry and pretty still. Quite nippy though. We did a bit over a mile warm-up, then 8 x 400m at about 1:45, then about a mile cool-down. It was a tough but enjoyable session. Those vehicles really churn the trails up. I imagine they're doing timber work, as there are a lot of stacked tree-trunks around.
Well we've certainly got the winds here today and they are getting stronger by the minute! I've given up putting the plant pots upright. Did 6 miles this morning and struggled in the wind but at least it wasn't raining.
Diana, that sounds like a good session, 1.45 is a good time for 400m and to do 8 of them is very impressive.
Red, the wind here is getting stronger all the time and I'm glad that I wasn't out with the club, in fact, I wonder whether anyone bothered to turn up. The Coaches are very reliable though and always turn up, just in case anyone else does. Well done for your 6 miles in the wind.
I had my flu jab this afternoon and the nurse asked me whether I would also like a pneumonia jab, which would be a one off, and last a life time. I decided to go ahead with it, and had the jab in the other arm. I wasn't aware that there were jabs for pneumonia, and they certainly aren't advetised.
Had to do two dog walks today so no running.TEPneumonia jabs are new this year.JJ
evening everyone
well the weather i hate to run in is wind and heat and tonight it was soo windy, i didn't enjoy this evenings run at all, the winds are really strong tonight and it felt like the wind was constantly blowing against me, but its all part of the training, no runs now till sunday and hoping to maybe do around 7-8,
Terence i work in a pharmacy and we do flu jabs and i have not heard of pneumonia jabs, i will ask when this was available to the public
JJ - how right you were about the bad weather reaching here today; it was stair-rods, I got soaked in the 30 seconds it took me to get from the front door into the car. Sheets of water all over the roads, and in town I saw water coming down a flight of steps like a temporary waterfall, and a shopkeeper whose shop is at the bottom of a slope desperately sweeping water out of his shop, only it had nowhere else to go.
Has now calmed down to steady rain.
Been swimming. Not in the streets, though I might well have.
JJ, Are you sure pneumonia jabs have only just arrived? I'm sure my mother had one, and that would be a couple of years ago now.
Morning all,
Thankfully the wind and rain have abated and I didn't get wet or blown away on my plod earlier Loads of branches down everywhere and torrents of water running off the fields and along the lanes. My feet got very wet!
Pneumonia jabs? Crikey, I hadn't heard of them before either.
Got soaked to the skin literally last night running home, the wettest ever....had to strip at the door before being allowed in! Never seen as much water.........bootiful today looking forward to a plod at lunchtime. Happy weekend all.
All experience is an arch to build upon.
I can see the sunshine streaming in through the window, A bit soon after my dinner, but I dont want to miss it so I think I will head off down the park for a run before the sun changes its mind. We had a bit of rain yesterday but nothing like the bad weather others on here were getting so musn't complain.
Funny thing with the weather though, I remember some years ago that come the end of September, shorts would usually be exchanged for track suit but it seems to be getting later nowadays and, getting towards the end of November, it is still shorts weather.
Good racing anyone out this weekend.
Derek, last winter I didn't change into tights at all and stuck with my shorts. This year I wore tights for the Beachy Head marathon in October but have reverted to shorts.
Mark I hope you didn't do a strip in the street!
I'm doing boring accounts stuff and want to play out instead!
Just went out in the lunch hour ish!! For a nice 5.25 mile 44 mins, in the sun which has now gone in now......Redhead we dont have neighbours so okay, well apart from my bro who lives near
Typically a nice sunny dry day on my rest day.
I've got a slight ache in my left arm, where I had the pneumonia jab, and the Nurse had said that I might feel a bit unwell. I feel fine, except for the ache. Hopefully it will be ok tomorrow, when I am planning a longish forest run. The forecast is quite horrible for tomorrow, with an amber warning. I'll make sure my trail shoes are tightly fastened, as I don't want to lose them in the mud.
I'm hoping it will still be dry for our forest run this evening, though it won't be underfoot. I had to go out to a running club committee meeting last night, and was quite nervous driving on forest roads in that wind.
Hope you don't get soaked tomorrow, TE, but the forecast doesn't look good. The village Christmas lights get switched on tomorrow evening, so that will probably be a wet experience too!
There has been a pneumococcal vaccination for some years, if that's the same thing. My husband has had it, possibly because he is asthmatic, or also possibly as he had his spleen removed many years ago.
Diana, I think you may have been lucky with your evening run, as it hasn't rained in my part of the forest all day. I don't know if the pneumococcal vacination is the same thing, as my jab.
I think a soaking tomorrow is definitely on the cards, and if the wind is too strong, may keep out of the forest on safety grounds, and do a boring road run instead.

Christie's Spotlights Southeast Asian Art
Christie's kicks off its annual Hong Kong spring sales at the city's Convention Centre on Saturday, and as usual, Chinese works dominate the offerings.
But interest in Southeast Asian art is on the rise, with Southeast Asian collectors snapping up their region's works. Meanwhile, buyers from other parts of Asia are capitalizing on the category's relatively modest price tags, driving auction sales upward.
Wine, Asian art, antiques, paintings, watches and jewelry are on the block during the five-day event. At the Asian contemporary and modern art sales on Saturday and Sunday, 199 lots by Southeast Asian artists are on offer. To compare, the auction house sold just 87 lots in May 2011.
In April, Sotheby's sold 165 works, or 96% of those on offer, at its Southeast Asian modern and contemporary art for $14.5 million and bidding was far more brisk than those for works by the top Chinese contemporary artists that have dominated auction results in recent years.
"Collectors are looking for something new," said Eric Chang, a specialist for Asian 20th century and contemporary art in Hong Kong. Compared to Chinese art, he added, the prices for Southeast Asian art are "quite a bit lower."
The most anticipated work is Indonesian artist I Nyoman Masriadi's "Masriadi Presents – Attack from Website," expected to fetch as much as $384,600. The painting, which spans 3 meters wide, depicts a teeth-baring shark atop a computer screen background.
Abstract works from the modern era are especially hot, Mr. Chang said. Of the five works on sale by Filipino abstract artist Fernando Zóbel, "Arganda," a black-and-white work inspired by landscapes and painted in 1961, is estimated to sell for as much as $153,800.
Singaporean artist Cheong Soo Pieng, whose style mixes Asian landscapes with Mark Rothko-like abstraction, is also a name to work. His work "Nature's Expression" bears a high estimate of $192,300.
Art from Southeast Asia can be broadly broken into two categories, according to Mr. Chang. On the one hand, there are painters who mix Western techniques with traditional Southeast Asian themes and strong colors. On the other, there are artists who are influenced by Chinese ink painting and traditional aesthetics, a style that attracts mainland Chinese and Hong Kong collectors, Mr. Chang noted.
The first category includes Indonesian artist Affandi, whose works often depict Balinese scenes with bold outlines of reds and yellow. His painting titled "Penari Bali," a portrait of a traditional dancer, has a high estimate of $192,300 at Christie's upcoming sale, while his "Balinese Fisherman" portrait is expected to fetch as much as $323,600.
Among the second group, Mr. Chang counts Chinese-born Indonesian Lee Man Fong. The artist, whose works often depict tranquil rural scenes or traditional life, became the official court painter at the Indonesian presidential palace from 1961 to 1966.
Mr. Lee's "Fortune and Longevity" sold for $4.4 million at Sotheby's last fall, the highest price ever realized at auction for a work from the area.
Mok Kim Chuan, a specialist for Southeast Asian at Sotheby's, said that the region's art is appealing to collectors across the continent and signal growing demand. "When we first started selling the category [in 2001], the vast majority of clients were Indonesian," he said. "Now, we're seeing cross-buying from all over Asia."
Art collectors are also seeing Southeast Asian works as relative bargains, especially when compared to the Chinese painters that have become auction darlings in recent years. Chinese modernist abstract painter Zao Wou-Ki's "Water Music" is estimated to reach $2.3 million at the upcoming Christie's sale. Chinese contemporary artist Zeng Fanzhi's "Society" is expected to sell for $3.1 million.
To compare, the combined estimated value of the works by Southeast Asian artists on sale this week is $6 million.
The rising wealth of Southeast Asia encourages the hobby – Singapore now has more millionaires per capita than any other city, according to a study by Boston Consulting Group, and Indonesian billionaires outnumber those in Japan, according to Forbes magazine.
Jackson See, a Singaporean collector who is serves on the acquisitions committee at the Tate Modern gallery in London, says art buying is becoming increasingly competitive in his home city.
"The collecting environment is growing fast here in Singapore," said Mr. See. "The prices aren't as high as Chinese art, so people can buy, but it's getting difficult. Prices have gone up 10 times over the past 10 years."
Several other auction houses are holding sales events at the same time as Christie's, hoping to draw some of the deep-pocketed buyers who are visiting for the Art Basel fair in Hong Kong. English firm Bonhams is selling Asian contemporary art, fine Chinese paintings, jewelry and watches on Saturday. It kicks off its spring event with a single-malt whisky and wine sale on Thursday.
Taiwanese auction house Ravenel will sell modern and contemporary Asian art and jewelry on Saturday while Beijing-based Poly Auction will hold its sales on Sunday and Tuesday. Traditional Chinese paintings, antiques and snuff bottles will be on the block at Poly's sales.

To promote next week's release of best-picture candidate Argo, Warner Bros has released "Argo Declassified" to YouTube, a 30 minute documentary that explores the movie and the real-life events it depicts.
Those events revolve around the Iranian Revolution, during which the American Embassy was seized and its occupants taken hostage. Six managed to escape and found refuge nearby, and the CIA launched a daring mission to extract them — a mission so crazy, it only exists in the movies. By creating a fake sci-fi movie in the style of Flash Gordon, they were able to sneak into Iran on a fake location scout, and steal away the refugees right under the Iranians' noses.
Check out the documentary below, and if you haven't already, pre-order Argo from Amazon today.

St. James Parish Councilman Terry McCreary has been arrested on a count of negligent homicide in a crash that occurred five months ago that led to the death of a 74-year-old Paulina man.
Lutcher police investigators say 64-year-old McCreary swerved on two-lane Lutcher Avenue on Sept. 5 to avoid a Chevrolet Trailblazer ahead of him.
Police say the northbound pickup that McCreary was driving glanced off the rear of the SUV and ran head-on into an oncoming pickup driven by Preston O. Barras Jr.
Barras had severe injuries after the crash and was taken to an area hospital. He died on Sept. 17.
It was unclear whether McCreary has an attorney.

Pastry Chef Antonio Bachour of The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort - Biography
Bal Harbour, FL
Antonio Bachour grew up in Puerto Rico and was hooked on pastry from a young age, thanks to a childhood spent in his family's bakery.

"I represent the working poor," a statement of pride from Lansing resident Ramona Spencer. She lives below the poverty line. Last year she made just over $13,000 and qualified for $609.00 because of the state Earned Income Tax Credit
"With that money I pay for my utilities, and I say, keep warm water running in my tub," said Spencer.
Gilda Jacobs, CEO of the Michigan League for Human Services says the EITC has been mischaracterized and its benefit overlooked.
"Instead of looking at the EITC as a percentage of the deficit, it really should be looked at -- big picture -- with all the other tax expenditures and loopholes and credits and deductions --- which are $34 billion."
But what about the $1.8 billion deficit? How does the state close such a wide gap when many think the state is just giving money away?
"We're talking [a savings of] more than 300 million per year, said Charles Ballard, economist and professor at Michigan State University. "If you were to eliminate the EITC, that would be one-sixth or one-fifth of the budget deficit so that's a portion --- certainly doesn't solve the problem by itself."
Ballard is a proponent of keeping the EITC intact, saying eliminating it would be a huge step backward.
"Until the EITC was instituted, Michigan was one of the most regressive tax systems in the country. The EITC took us off the list," said Ballard. "If we were to eliminate [it] we'd go back to being one of the 10 most regressive [states] and to me that's not a move in the right direction."
And many other economists say that the EITC isn't simply a handout, but an earned incentive to work.
"I feel like I"m already at the low end of the income here. I'm barely on the ladder," said Spencer. "I'm proud to say it's not a handout. I'm working. I'm earning it. I'm grateful it's there. I hope it doesn't get cut."
Governor Synder will be releasing his budget proposal Thursday morning. The EITC is one tax credit that is on the potential chopping block.

June 13th, 2014 - 5:40am
(Port Angeles) Two Port Angeles cousins and one of the boys' mother are due back in court next week to face misdemeanor charges in the kidnapping hoax videotaped at a Sequim park.
Jason and Jesse Holden and Shellie Baskins were released on their own recognizance yesterday from Clallam County District Court. They were set to be arraigned yesterday on disorderly conduct charges for videotaping a fake kidnapping of a child at Carrie Blake Park. But there are questions over what the penalty would be for the crime. District Court Judge Rick Porter says the case will be reconvened June 19th.
In April, Jason Holden donned a masked and grabbed a younger male relative at the park. The Holdens videotaped it and tore off in a waiting van.
The Holdens say the video was the latest in a series posted on YouTube done for humor and shock value. They said the fake kidnapping was meant to raise awareness about child abductions.
The case has garnered international attention.
The Holdens say they're upset Sequim's city attorney first chose not to file charges, then changed his mind more than a month after the incident.

While many teens might not have been excited about staying in Buffalo for vacation, the students on the Holy Angels Academy SAGE team were ecstatic. From July 22-26 at Canisius College, they got the chance to compete in the 2011 SAGE World Cup and welcome teens from all over the world.
SAGE, Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship, is divided into two divisions: Social Enterprise Business (SEB) and Socially Responsible Business (SRB). After sending both SEB and SRB teams to the national competition in Chicago in May, Holy Angels came out on top, coming in second in the SRB category and first in the SEB category. The SEB team, Small World Book Publishing Co., was invited to the 2011 World Cup. Holy Angels' teams are no strangers to the SAGE World Cup, and have gone to Nigeria, Brazil and South Africa to compete.
After a Friday night welcome party and a tour of the city the next morning, the Cultural Day presentations were held Saturday afternoon. It seemed to be everyone's favorite part of the weekend -- to see all the teams in their country's traditional outfits, showing the best of the cultures and their national pride. The presentations ranged from dancing to singing to the Holy Angels team's Buffalo trivia game.
Holy Angels sophomore Kelly Paterson said, "I loved getting immersed in cultures I never even knew existed."
Later that night the teams got another taste of American culture by attending a Bisons' baseball game.
On Sunday morning, it literally came down to business as the teams prepared to present to the judges. SAGE teams had to present their businesses, social ventures, environmental projects and how they taught civic engagement.
The Holy Angels team spoke about Small World Book Publishing, which has published three bilingual children's books written by students and two for FANA, an adoption agency in Bogota, Columbia, that also runs a Spanish camp in Buffalo.
The team focuses on empowering women, and this year's profits helped fund a beekeeping business in the Congo that will employ women and provide honey as nutrition and medicine. Also, the team sent dresses to a boutique in the Dominican Republic that employs women who would otherwise have to resort to prostitution. For the environmental aspect, the team cleaned up Shoshone Park; and for civic engagement, the team held a mock election at Holy Angels.
After the semifinal round of presentations, the teams visited Niagara Falls. After going there many times for field trips and with family, it was still a new experience for the Holy Angels team. Why? Because as junior Jenna Walczak said, we were "with people from different countries and seeing it through their eyes."
On Monday, the finalists were announced, including Holy Angels, and the teams presented again. Going into the gala dinner that night, everyone's nerves were on overload.
For many Holy Angels team members, SAGE has made a lasting impact on their lives.
Hanna Morelli, a member of the Class of 2011, said, "SAGE has taught me more than any class in school could ever teach me."
Allie Marasco, a senior, said, "When I began SAGE as a sophomore, I was shy and quite afraid of public speaking. Through SAGE, not only was I able to gain confidence but I was able to start my own business and help people around the world."
With these reflections in mind, the girls headed up to the stage to hear the results. In the SEB division, fourth place went to a team from South Africa; third went to Canada; and second went to Holy Angels. The team from Nigeria was named world champion.
The Holy Angels team won two other awards for empowering women and stopping the spread of diseases.
In the SRB division, Nigeria came in first again, with China in second, Canada in third, and Ukraine in fourth.
Heather Wilson, a 2011 Holy Angels graduate, said, "I think more people should know about SAGE, not only to bring notice to the people in need around the world, but also to show how capable and concerned today's youth is about the state our world is in."
Kristina Macro is a junior at Holy Angels Academy.

I experienced "sudden deafness" in one ear two months ago. Treatment from a Ear-nose specialist failed to recover my hearing loss. After five days of taking Clear Eye & Sharp Ear my hearing began to return. It's a slow process, but it continues to improve. Also, any vertical I was experiencing completely disappeared. Note that one bottle is only a week's supply, but worth it when it works.

Bumped across a interesting blog post on Can I Get Rich on a Salary where G purchased a Long-Term Care Policy through work. Nothing unusual about that except G is in his thirties.
Now back in my agent days, if someone younger than 50 inquired about a Long-Term Care policy, I told them to ask me again in ten years and add an extra $50 to their retirement savings instead.
Why? Because:
- Long term Care is still a relatively new product, (introduced in the 1980s) early pioneers in this area are experiencing issues with the real costs of Long-Term care. Purchasing a product you probably won't need for 25-30 years is risky at best. The first company I used to write these policies though exited the business in 2004.
- I'd recommend investing money for another 10-20 years instead of paying insurance premiums.
Still, if you are in your 50s, , a Long-term Care policy is something you should consider unless you are really poor or really rich.
The first steps you should take:
- Find a good agent. Long-Term Care is something that most agents have access to, but few agents specialize in. Interview agents with expertise in the field and make them explain their process of determining need.
- Find out what Long-Term Care costs in your area. Prices swing wildly based on what part of the country you live in. Most 50 somethings have a relative in assisted care. Ask the next time you stop in.
- Determine how many years you want the benefit to continue. The longer the term, the higher the premium. How does your family age? Is there a history of illnesses in your family tree that would determine a good length of stay? If not, two or three years should be your minimum, lifetime would be ideal.
- Do you want coverage amounts to increase? Yeah, I think with inflation in the nation, that would be a good idea.
- Do you want a price guarantee on premium? Get the longest guarantee you can. Premiums on this type of product will only go up.
After doing some research and understanding the coverage, here are some things to look for when you comparison shop:
- Definition of when benefits start: There are usually two or three triggering events: bathing, eating, dressing. These vary by company, find out what events trigger the coverage and who determines when coverage should start.
- Assisted living. Get the option for at home care, an assisted living facility or hospice care.
- 5 Percent annual increase in coverage. 2-3%, probably not enough.
- A+ rated company and guaranteed renewable policy. 'Nuff said.
- Are there any illnesses excluded on the policy? Better to find out beforehand.
Notice that price didn't come into the discussion? Consider all these options and do some research before price shopping.

Benjamin Arthur Simpson, Sr.
Benjamin "Benny" Arthur Simpson, Sr., 85, of Hyannis, Neb., passed away December 31, 2013, in his home.
Benny was born March 13, 1928, in Hyannis, Neb.
As a child growing up he lived on the ranch south of Hyannis. He and his dad moved to Savery, Wyo., for a couple years. Coming back to a ranch south of Mullen, Benny graduated from Mullen High School in 1946.
He joined the U.S. Army in 1947 and went to boot camp in Ft. Riley, Kan. After that he was first stationed in Camp Lee, Va., later being reposted to Ft. Richardson, Alaska.
In July 1949, he met Donna J. Russell while she was visiting her mother in Anchorage. Donna's mother, as it turned out, lived just down the street from Gerald Wright, Lyle Wright's older brother. After a short courtship, Benny and Donna were married on November 10, 1949. To this union were born four children: Benjamin Arthur, Jr. on Aug. 20, 1950, in Richardson, Alaska, Leonard Gerald on Feb. 14, 1952, in Alliance, Connie Sue on Jan. 28, 1956, in Alliance and Machelle Joy (Miki) on Feb. 6, 1961, in Mullen.

Fetterman Post of the American Legion for over 40 years. He had also served on the Nebraska Resource Department board. Benny was an avid hunter and fisherman. He spent many hours sharing these hobbies with his buddies and passed this love of life and the outdoors to his children and grandchildren. He also was a collector of arrowheads, guns and western history artifacts.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Donna, by their four children, Benj and Jan, Lenny and Rhonda, Connie and Bruce, Miki and Jeff, nine grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and two pending great-grandchildren; brother-in-law Calvin Russell; two special nieces Bonnie Strasberger and Bev Uphoff and their families.

Megacatastrophes! Nine Strange Ways the World Could End, by David Darling and Dirk Schulze-Makuch, Oneworld, RRP£10.99, 256 pages
According to a (possibly misread) Mayan prophecy, the world will end on December 21 2012. The end of the world is always nigh if you believe some crank or other, but the astronomer David Darling and professor of astrobiology Dirk Schulze-Makuch have tackled some of the more plausible doomsday scenarios.
Despite the light-hearted tone, jaunty cover and fun title of this popular science book, there are some seriously horrible ways to go here. Nano-technology could turn the entire planet into grey goo, an exploding star could incinerate us, a meteor the size of Manhattan could turn the world into a wasteland, aliens could invade, a plague could wipe out 1bn people or the Large Hadron Collider could tip us into a different reality.
Megacatastrophes! is short, accessible and entertaining stuff that brings often complex and abstract threats frighteningly to life.

In a large series of adults with acute leukemia followed by the same hematology service, prior to 1970, there were only two instances of clinically apparent central nervous system involvement, in 230 cases of acute granulocytic leukemia and 38 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. From 1970 to 1972, perhaps associated with an increased remission rate, 7 of 41 patients with acute granulocytic leukemia and 7 of 12 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia developed central nervous system involvement. Headaches, papilledema, and cranial nerve palsies were common in these cases. The patients with acute granulocytic leukemia also showed evidence of compression of neural structures by malignant cells.

Valentine's Day Breakfast Idea: Heart-Shaped Egg in a Nest
Posted By Nicole On February 9, 2009 @ 2:02 pm In Breakfast/Brunch,Holiday | 66 Comments
I've written about Egg in a Nest before, but I decided it was time to revisit this breakfast classic just in time for Valentine's Day. I felt like making something fun for breakfast this past weekend and since February is the month of heart-shaped food (at least in the world of food blogs), I decided to break out my heart-shaped cookie cutter to create Eggs in a Heart for breakfast!
The method is simple. Grab a piece of bread, an egg, a cookie cutter or a knife, some butter, and a frying pan. Cut a heart-shaped hole in the bread. Heat the pan over medium heat, add a bit of butter and swirl around. Place the slice of bread in pan (as well as the little heart-shaped piece) and carefully crack the egg into the hole in the bread.
Sprinkle egg with a bit of salt and pepper and cook until the bread is nicely browned on the bottom. Next, you can either carefully flip the slice of bread over to cook the other side, or you can slide the whole pan under the broiler and cook until the top of the bread is browned and the egg is cooked to your liking. If you use the broiler method, I suggest brushing the top of the bread lightly with melted butter (or a bit of bacon grease if you have some handy) before putting it under the broiler.
Serve with the little heart on top, or place it on the side. Would be perfect with a side of fresh-squeezed blood orange juice.
Enjoy with your sweetheart!
If this is your first time learning about Egg in a Nest, it might be fun to read my first post about it, especially the comments! There are over 80 comments on that post, most of them giving different names for this simple breakfast dish. And if you happen to call it something else, head on over and join the discussion!

My mother called crying yesterday saying that yesterday at the Dr. they found a lump. When I in town during thanksgiving she had a clear mammmogram. She is trying to get an ultrasound appt asap but we're obviously hoping its nothing(hoping its a benign lump as my childhood friend had a few yrs ago). If it is cancerous, is 9 mos relatively early detection. Plus I thought breast cancer probability lowered if you had a hysterectomy?READ MORE
Hi Kiwi- So sorry about your mother. I hope her lump turns out to be benign; if she gets as far as a biopsy, understand that about 85% of biopsies do indeed show a benign lump, so the odds are definitely with her.
Yes, finding a lump 9 months after a clear mammogram is quite a common experience, It takes a long time for most breast cancers to grow; by the time you can actually detect a lump, chances are the cancer has been growing for about 8 years. Your mother sounds like she was a on a regular mammogram schedule, and that's considered the best form of screening for early detection, so yes, I'd assume this would be considered early detection.
Best of luck to you both going forward. I hope the lump turns out to be a simple cyst. If not, stay in touch here - we can help. - PJH

by Daphne du Maurier
Analysis: Writing Style
Detailed and Descriptive, Poetic
It's All in the Details
Boy, does Mrs. de Winter have a good memory. The story of her courtship and first few months of marriage to Mr. de Winter is so exciting, so compelling, that she can't help obsessing over it, and remembering it in minute detail. Included in all of the flashbacks are vivid and lengthy descriptions of her natural surroundings (which are admittedly intense as noted in "Setting"), and of the various fantasies (mostly of the unpleasant kind) she has during those times.
This detail is intertwined with the tone of Rebecca as well. The nostalgia felt throughout the book is only made more obvious by the very descriptive nature of Mrs. de Winter's memories. Basically, she wants it all back. Maybe she feels closer to her past when she describes it in such detail?
Poetic Prose
Get this: Rebecca is famous for its metrical first and last lines. Let's take a look.
Last night I dreamt I went to Manderely again. (1.1)
Read it out loud. Sound a little rhythmic to you? That's because it is. This line is in iambic hexameter, which basically means it goes da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum. Not bad, Daphne.
And how about that last line?
And the ashes blew towards us with the salt wind from the sea. (27.123)
When you read this one out loud, what does it sound like? Dr. Seuss? Yep! It's pretty much an anapestic tetrameter, give or take a syllable That means it almost goes da-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-da-dum. It's not quite on, but it's close.
So what's the effect of starting the novel with the more serious iambic hexameter and finishing with the more often comic anapestic tetrameter? Do you think this was intentional?

I grew up equating the smell of fresh baked cookies as signifying the start of the Christmas season.....then I discovered Thymes Frasier Fir candles. As soon as the weather turns cold I MUST have several in my home, one for lighting and several as back-up. They've become my signature gift as well. I don't limit my obsession the Christmas season. Last year I discovered the Gingerbread candle ~ fabulous! I also love the eucalyptus & the fig leaf w/ cassis.Thank you for making such fabulous products, your quality is second to none.
Frazier fir
I have tried many different holiday scents and always come back to Frazier Fir. It is the most pleasant holiday fragrance ever. Fills the whole house with the wonderful holiday fragrance not too strong soft and pleasant. If you try Frazier fir it will instantly become your favorite. Believe me I have tried them all but always come back and look forward to the new additions each year.
Frasier Fir brings the forest inside
Living in Colorado, you'd think one might tire of the scent of pine trees but I cannot get enough of the Frasier Fir collection. I originally ordered for the holidays and found myself returning to the scent throughout the year. The scent is as realistic as a freshly cut Christmas tree in your living room and just as soothing to the soul. Try the dishwashing soap for a mini-vacation every evening after dinner or anytime you want to take a break. Close your eyes and you're right in the middle of the forest--wherever you are.
I was once a maid and my boss had everything from the pinecone to the dish soap I've been hooked since. thee most attractive, lingering, energizing and refreshing unisex fragrance. The closest scent I can use to describe it cutting a green pine tree
