Nice photo, well composed with the man strolling around. Voted and like. Cheers, Mats.
Very beautiful picture
Best wishes from Poland
there's a lot going on here that that sort of wants an narrative but there clearly isn't one - just the way it is - I like that
Hi Graham - Thanks! Well, there are actually a few narratives to go along with this shot, but none really explain the image of the man crossing the plaza! The spot is in the heart of the early days of the US - and there's pretty literally a story on every corner. Might also be better named 'The Long Shadow of the Future' too!
Thanks Mats! It was a warm sunny day in winter - those long shadows made it perfect!
Thanks very much for the like and the vote Teresa - Cheers from the States :)
Oops someone broke the tiles! LOL! Lovely soft shades makes for a great photo K.
Very nice composition. L
Thanks M! and Tree roots and trucks are my bet...
Thanks very much Marty!
Hi, Kamalyn. The Google image shows this just a few yards from the City Tavern. Surely America's entire future was laid out here. Very nice picture with the shadows. Voted. Guy
Hi Geezer - You've got it! City Tavern is just behind me on the left. There's more American History within a stone's throw of where I was standing for this than I've ever been around - and I grew up near Lexington and Concord!
Beautiful picture,good shot!!
LIKE nr.14 ,VOTED!!!
Best regards,MoUzEs

Sincere greetings from Taiwan to the USA.
Many Thanks Enson! Cheers to you :)
i didn't comment on this before and I should have. its very good. very subtle. i would vote, but too late!
Hi larry, Thanks for the thought! The light that afternoon was great, and for this spring, just having sun and afternoon light fairly rare. The huge irony in this shot is that I was blindly walking around on my first visit to the city, but its on a route that has become very frequent and familiar. I guess its time for a nice summer shot of the area.

Madonna had less than 13 minutes of a Super Bowl halftime performance to show America that she still has it in her at 53 years young. With LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A. and Cee Lo Green assisting her, most think she did it right!
The New York Giants were up 10-9 at the half last night when they gave their "stage" up for some entertainment.
Madge took mid-field on a magnificent set and started the show with her past hit "Vogue," dressed as a gladiator and surrounded by dancers.
During her second song "Music," Madonna was joined by LMFAO to bust out some "Party Rock Anthem" and "Sexy And I Know It." Surely they made their manager Will.I.Am proud!
We weren't surprised one bit when the 80's icon sang her new single "Give Me All Your Luvin'," and Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. matched as cheerleaders at her side. M.I.A. was caught flashing a certain finger during the performance, but that's another scandal for another day!
Madonna continued her act with a short glimpse of "Express Yourself" as Cee Lo Green came out in marching band attire. "Like a Prayer" backed up by a choir was the perfect finale, and as the lights went out, the words "World Peace" glowed from the field. Would we expect any less from our girl? Just another attempt at saving the world, one extravagant show at a time.
Tons of celebrities immediately took to social media sites to pour their luvin' for Madonna the Great's spectacular performance, but not everyone was impressed. As a top trending topic on Twitter, extreme opinions were being tossed around all night.
Check out the video and tell us what you thought of the Super Bowl halftime show. Don't hold back!

Landscape architects with the National Park Service face a
monumental task: repairing an intensely popular, and intensely damaged,
By Linda McIntyre
The National Mall is a mess, an expanse of suffering turf in
compacted soil, crumbling hardscape, stagnant water, stressed trees, and trash.
For first-time visitors to Washington, this prospect, in the heart of the
nation's capital, is bad enough. It gets worse, though, if they linger:
Bathrooms are notoriously scarce and difficult for tourists to locate, there is
little parking, public transportation options are hard for visitors to
decipher, circulation is poor, and signs are hidden, uninformative, or missing.
And while there are various options for eating in the museums and other
attractions right on the Mall—the central part of the larger National Mall—or
at nearby cafés and restaurants, those unfamiliar with Washington are not let
in on the secret.
For a landscape that functions as the nation's front lawn,
host to hundreds of celebrations and protests every year, as well as some of
our icons of art, culture, and history, this is a travesty (see "Subject to the
Vagaries of Power," Landscape
Architecture, January). But how to preserve, let alone beautify, a landscape
that is visited by more than 25 million people every year? For many public
parks, the answer would be simple: restore the landscape, give it time to
recover, and put limits on public use.
That's almost impossible at the National Mall, which is not
only a national park, but the country's most prominent forum for events,
protests, and celebrations. Limits to demonstrations and commercial activities
on the National Mall have been the subject of frequent First Amendment
litigation. While the National Park Service (NPS) has some regulatory authority
over these activities—they have to be "legally consistent with the special
nature and sanctity of the National Mall," according to the NPS—thousands of
permit applications are approved every year, generally on a "first-come,
first-served" basis, resulting in approximately 14,000 annual "event days."
After all, in the words of the United States Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia Circuit, "It is here that the constitutional rights of speech and
peaceful assembly find their fullest expression."
Now the NPS is embarking on a long-range planning process to
try to continue providing for such expression while mitigating its impact on
the landscape. As required by federal law, the agency is collecting comments
from the public as it prepares its National Mall Plan. At the time of this
writing 17 commenters, according to NPS landscape architect Susan Spain, the
project executive for the planning process, had identified themselves as
landscape architects, though none of the local ASLA chapters—Potomac, Virginia,
or Maryland—have intervened in a coordinated fashion.

BAY CITY — Heading into his 36th State of the Union Address, Congressman Dale Kildee, D-Flint, is pretty sure he knows what to expect.
But that doesn't mean he's not excited to hear what President Barack Obama has to say tonight. This will most likely be the last address Kildee will be at in person, as the 18-term U.S. representative plans to retire this year.
"I'll be sitting in the aisle, hoping to shake hands with the president again," Kildee said this afternoon. "This is my 36th State of the Union and I've been in on good times and bad times and in war and peace."
Kildee predicts that because it is an election year, Obama's State of the Union will forecast what he plans to campaign on this year.
Obama is expected to talk about the economy and job creation; extending the payroll tax, rebuilding industrial America; the threats from Iran and North Korea; and the controversial Keystone Pipeline extension.
Kildee said he's interested in hearing Obama discuss the revitalization of industries, as well as building up the country's infrastructure.
"He'll be talking about building our roads, highways and bridge," Kildee said. "Every bridge along I-75 (in Genesee, Bay and Saginaw counties) is in need of major repair, except Corunna."
Kildee said he's also interested in hearing Obama address education.
"It's getting more and more difficult for kids to get into college," Kildee said. "Cost has gone up and aid has been stagnant or gone down. I'm very interested in building for the future in educating our young people."

ROME - The U.N. has new weapons to fight hunger, boost nutrition and reduce pollution, and they might be crawling or flying near you right now: edible insects.
The Food and Agriculture Organization Monday hailed the likes of grasshoppers, ants and other members of the insect world as an underutilized food for people, livestock and pets.
A 200-page report, released at a news conference at the U.N. agency's Rome headquarters, says 2 billion people worldwide already supplement their diets with insects, which are high in protein and minerals, and have environmental benefits.

Insects are "extremely efficient" in converting feed into edible meat, the agency said. On average, they can convert 4.4 pounds of feed into 2.2 pounds of insect mass. In comparison, cattle require 17.6 pounds of feed to produce 2.2 pounds of meat.
Most insects are likely to produce fewer environmentally harmful greenhouse gases, and also feed on human and food waste, compost and animal slurry, with the products being used for agricultural feed, the agency said.
Currently, most edible insects are gathered in forests and what insect farming does take place is often family-run and serves niche markets. But the U.N. says mechanization can ratchet up insect farming production. The fish bait industry, for example, has long farmed insects.
Insect farming is "one of the many ways to address food and feed security," the food agency said.
"Insects are everywhere and they reproduce quickly," the agency said, adding they leave a "low environmental footprint." They provide high-quality protein and nutrients and are "particularly important as a food supplement for undernourished children," it said.

The Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge is a perfect addition to any afternoon spent in Fort Morgan rentals. Whether you're interested in seeing native plant and animal species or spotting one of the 400 migratory birds that pass through the region each year, this serene wildlife sanctuary is the ideal spot.
The natural beauty of the Gulf Coast area is a major draw for many visitors - between the white sand beaches, sparkling turquoise waters and range of ecosystems in the region, you could spend your entire vacation simply soaking up the gorgeous surroundings. You can experience some stunning natural beauty no matter where you stay on the shore, but bird enthusiasts may want to book Fort Morgan beach house rentals, since this Gulf Coast peninsula serves as a vital refuge for migratory birds as they head south in the winter and north in the summer.
Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge is one specific site near many Fort Morgan rentals that is known as a sanctuary for birds. In 1980, it was established as a wildlife refuge by Congress to serve as a habitat for non-game birds whose migration paths to Florida, the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America cut through southern Alabama. The refuge is no more than a 15-minute drive from Fort Morgan condos and beach houses, making it a perfect place to visit on any day of your vacation to this spectacular region.
The refuge was named after the French phrase meaning "safe harbor," and that is exactly what it serves as for a range of native and endangered flora and fauna today. More than 400 migratory bird species have been identified and banded at this refuge, including herons, ospreys and hummingbirds. In addition to migratory birds, you will likely spot a number of endangered species when you visit Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge. Animals like red foxes, armadillos, coyotes, and green, loggerhead, and Kemp's Ridley sea turtles call this sanctuary home.
In addition to the fauna at this refuge is some endangered and important flora. The dunes and sea oats support the beach animals. Other ecosystems in the reserve - such as scrub forest, fresh and saltwater marshes, freshwater swamps and uplands - support a range of other animal life.
The refuge is about 6,700 acres and there are four wonderful trails that are perfect for a family outing or a quiet nature walk. The trails encircle Little Lagoon and traverse maritime forests, frontal dunes and scrub habitats, ensuring an ecologically diverse experience for nature lovers. The Jeff Friend Trail is wheelchair accessible and winds through the maritime forest along Little Lagoon. On the Centennial Trail, you'll see the transition from maritime forests to dune swales and swamps, and on the Gator Lake Trail, you can spot the many species of birds that flock to the maritime forest and frontal dunes. The Pine Beach Trail follows an intact dune ecosystem where you'll see a maritime forest, scrub and dune habitats, as well as a saltwater lagoon on one side and a freshwater lake on the other.
Lace up your walking shoes and head over to Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge to spend an afternoon among nature during your Fort Morgan vacation.

Your yearning for new experiences could make you long for travel or adventure today, which may be because the routine of your life no longer challenges you or gives you the satisfaction that you crave. If you are able to plan a trip or travel today, you may find that it satisfies your need for excitement. However, learning to find new and stimulating experiences at home could also provide you with an outlet for your restless spirit. Perhaps you can explore a part of your community that is different from your own, or immerse yourself in a new culture through cuisine or the arts. Learning to see the exotic in the everyday experiences of your life could bring new meaning to the way you perceive your world on a daily basis.
Opening our eyes to what lies around us allows us to venture into an exciting world of exploration. While travel usually provides us with the means to discover new ways of being and thinking, we can also find an incredible amount of diversity right outside our own doors. When we make the effort to delve into something that is unknown, not only are we bringing excitement into our lives, but we are also becoming more aware of the multifaceted layers that exist in our communities, which in turn leads us to a greater understanding of others. By exploring some part of the world in more depth today, you will discover the wealth of wisdom that lies in the communities that are different from your own.

January 18 captured: A SOPA blackout gallery
I'll be updating this post throughout the day with more images of sites that have joined the SOPA blackout. Leave a comment with any site you'd like to be added to the gallery, which will remain here after the blackout is over. Also note that these are "above the fold" screencaps--if you have full-page captures, please feel free to send them, and I will try to get as many of those myself as possible by the end of the day.

2600 has sliding text. The full content reads:
2600 is unavailable. We've joined a 24 hour darkness campaign in protest of bills like SOPA and PIPA. Such bills could make sites like ours permanently dark. You may have heard that the battle is won, that SOPA and PIPA have no chance of passage. Don't be misled.
Your actions and awareness have already made a HUGE difference, but bills like these will always be around in every corner of the globe, waiting for the net community to let down its guard.
This show of solidarity is only one way to demonstrate our power and the willingness of people to stand together. Thanks for being a part of it by reading. Please learn more at this site. To join the protest, visit here. To contact your elected representative, go to https://blacklists.eff.org

All I know is at this rate we might as well shut everything down, radio, tv, even the local paper. We can all go live happily back in the stone age. Oh wait I think theirs a copyright on that already. The ice age, oh wait there's one there too.
This really is a dilemma, okay, how about a mutual agreement. make your product available for a fair and reasonable price. It hurts when I gotta spend a half a days pay to go watch your stupid movie at the theatre, An hours pay to buy the newly released cd. Depending on format roughly half days pay for Hottest flick on DVD or BluRay. A days pay for the hottest video game titles. A weeks wages to see one of my favorite artists in concert. Ok won't settle for less than the middle ages, atleast the music was tolerable, the ale was... well stale, and im thinking my broadsword could teach that pen a thing or two about manners.

Even better than my last post, a "My Little Pony" fansite, Equestria Daily, is getting in on the protest. In fact, it feels as though fansites like these would be right in the line of fire when it comes to legislation like this.

neither of these are typically safe for work, but one is fully blacked out and the other is initially completely obscured by the SOPA protest, making it possible to view the protest page without seeing any offensive images e621 at http://e621.net and Fenoxo at http://fenoxo.com. both of them usually have a splash page, anyways. i figured i'd submit these for the sake of completeness.
Aaand I'm back. I looked through a few of my webcomics (far too many for me to actually go through the whole list) and came up with these. I don't think there are any duplicates, but I could be wrong.

'Tuning Out' is series of concerts taking place around the UK, which will invite a listening public to visit some wonderful instruments around the UK & re-imagine the nature of pitch relationships. The music will explore the lesser chartered areas of microtones, unequal temperaments and unusual instrumental tunings.
The project involves three musicians who question the rules of equal temperament in their own different ways.
They will be making use of some of the UK's many underused tracker - action pipe organs, and using re-configured and re-tuned string Instruments.
Over several concerts in diverse areas of the country from Liverpool to London, Newcastle to Brighton, audiences can expect to be part of a rich sonic experiment, and have the chance to hear extraordinary instruments where new tunings open a world for new harmonies and colours that have, until now, remained locked away un-played.
Veryan Weston - long term explorer of underused and ancient instruments and Jon Rose – re-builder and re-thinker of the instrumental properties of the Violin, have been collaborating for the last 10+ years creating recordings and concerts that re-invent possibilities of how instruments can sound, and who use altered tunings as a primary avenue for improvisation.
listen to: Temperament & Tunings and Tunes
They are inviting cellist Hannah Marshall - whose recent album Tulse Hill explores shifting de-tuned open string patterns, to join them in this collaboration.
Each Musician has written text giving some insight into the background of the tour and the music that will be made:
Veryan Weston: Burblings from the organ-hunter
Hannah Marshall: A Few Notes to Self
Veryan Weston - Pipe organs
Jon Rose - Violin/strings
Hannah Marshall - Cello/strings
Sound and Music will be supporting the production and development of eleven tours in 2014/15, bringing new music to audiences around England of which the Tuning Out Tour is one such project.
Sound & Music state:
".... This is the largest and most diverse touring programme Sound and Music have developed to date, reflecting the broad and exciting nature of new music today. Nine of the tours are artist-led, reflecting Sound and Music's growing role in championing and developing composers and artists to have more influence over how their work is made and presented".

>Bob Carlisle
A musical journeyman who has written for Dolly Parton and sung backup for Barry Manilow and Mötley Crüe, Christian artist Bob Carlisle, 40, composed "Butterfly Kisses" in 1994 as a sweet-16 present for his daughter Brooke. The single reached the top of both the Adult Contemporary and Contemporary Christian charts in May, and in June his Butterfly Kisses (Shades of Grace) (Diadem/Jive) fluttered atop the pop album charts.
Has fame affected your family life?
Honestly, we were all content before. My life centers around my wife and two children, not the music business.
How do you feel about the two new country covers of "Butterfly" by Jeff Carson and the Raybon Bros.?
There's only one way to settle this thing: we're going to have to wrassle. We'll have the Butterfly Kiss-Off '97, and I could come in with tights and big, cheesy butterfly wings.
Has your crossover success made you an ambassador for Christian music?
I'm not comfortable with that position. I write music out of my passion, which happens to include my relationship with my Lord. I'm not out to secretly cram the Gospel down someone's throat.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 1
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 1 News Release: BOS 2000-008
Thursday, January 27, 2000
Contact: Ted Fitzgerald
Employers reminded that they must report on-the-job fatalities to OSHA
The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited Timberwolf Logging, a Littleton, New Hampshire, logging contractor, for alleged Willful, Serious and Other than Serious violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act following the death of a worker at a Shelburne, N.H., worksite and has proposed penalties totaling $15,700.
According to David May, OSHA area director for New Hampshire, the violations were discovered during an inspection conducted between January 13 and 17, 2000, and chiefly concern violations of OSHA's logging safety standard and failure to notify OSHA of the fatality in a timely manner.
On January 12, an employee of Timberwolf Logging was killed at a worksite off Ingalls Valley Road in Shelburne when he was crushed between a fuel truck and a skidder that were stopped on an incline. The worker was standing between the two vehicles when the fuel truck rolled back and killed him.
"The inspection found that neither the truck's parking brake, nor its regular brake system were functioning," said May. "Consequently, the parking brake could not have prevented the truck from rolling free, even if it had been set."
May said the inspection identified other logging safety deficiencies, including a lack of employee training in the logging standard, first aid and CPR, failure to conduct required safety and health meetings, lack of a first aid kit or fire extinguisher on the truck, and failure to maintain adequate communication among workers at remote worksites.
Noting that the company was also cited for failing to notify OSHA of the fatality in a timely manner, May reminded Granite State employers that the Occupational Safety and Health Act requires that they notify OSHA within 8 hours of any on-the-job death or any accident which results in the hospitalization of 3 or more workers.
In New Hampshire, they can notify the Concord OSHA area office at 603-225-1629 or call OSHA's toll-free, nationwide hotline --1-800-321-OSHA (1-800-321-6742) 24 hours a day. The hotline may be used to report workplace accidents or fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, especially if they occur outside of normal business hours.
Logging remains among the country's most dangerous occupations, accounting for 128 deaths per 100,000 workers nationwide in 1997, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. OSHA has identified logging as a significant high hazard industry, and through its Strategic Plan is attempting to reduce injuries and illnesses within this industry by at least 15%.
"OSHA's logging safety standard covers all aspects of logging operations, including, among other things, felling and moving trees, worker training, the use of personal protective equipment, first aid and the transporting of workers, vehicles and equipment to and from often remote locations," said May. "OSHA's Internet website, www.osha.gov, includes a home page on logging safety - http://www.osha-slc.gov/SLTC/logging/index.html -- which provides detailed technical information including a test version of an interactive logging technical advisor."
The logging technical advisor, he noted, examines logging procedures, explains the scope and requirements of OSHA's logging standard, links to specific sections of the standard as well as to additional information resources, and supplements the text with illustrations, tables and other graphical elements, all designed to provide workers and employers with the information they need to help ensure a safe and healthful job.
Specifically the citations and proposed penalties encompass the following:
One alleged Willful violation, with a proposed penalty of $5,500, for non-functioning service brakes on the truck.
Eleven alleged Serious violations, with $8,700 in penalties proposed, for: no first-aid kits available; fuel truck lacking a fire extinguisher; alternative communications not maintained when distance, noise, reduced visibility or other factors prevented clear vocal communication among workers; neither parking brake nor lock brake set prior to operator's leaving the truck; non-functioning parking brake systems in the fuel truck; failure to assure the fuel truck was maintained in a serviceable condition; truck and skidder not inspected before each workshift; training not provided to employees; failure to assure that each employee received required first aid and CPR training; required safety and health meetings not conducted; no written exposure control program for employees expected to perform first aid duties as part of their job.
Two alleged Other than Serious violations, with a $1,500 penalty proposed, for: failure to notify OSHA of a workplace fatality within 8 hours; and failure to check a portable fire extinguisher.
A willful violation is defined by OSHA as one committed with an intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations. A serious violation is defined as one in which there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result, and the employer knew, or should have known, of the hazard. An other-than-serious violation is a condition which would probably not cause death or serious physical harm but would have a direct and immediate relationship to the safety and health of employees.
OSHA is empowered by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 to issue standards and rules requiring employers to provide their employees with safe and healthful workplaces and jobsites, and to assure through workplace inspections that those standards are followed.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations and proposed penalties to either elect to comply with them, to request and participate in an informal conference with the OSHA area director, or to contest them before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
The information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request. Voice phone: (617) 565-2072. TDD (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) Message Referral Phone: 800-347-8029.

Stenson Takes Home another Honor
Henrik Stenson's fabulous 2013 continued to be recognized Tuesday with his being named the European Tour's Golfer of the Year. The 37-year-old received the award after winning the Tour's Race to Dubai's money title and the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup.
Stenson's victories included the European Tour's season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai, and the PGA Tour's Deutsche Bank Championship and Tour Championship. He's the first Swede to win the award.
"It's a big honor to be voted the European Tour Golfer of the Year," Stenson said. "It just reflects the stellar year I have had. You can call it a dream season, year of my life, whatever you want. It has been an unbelievable year and I am delighted to win this award, especially as I am the first Swede to do so."
Last year's winner was Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy, while other golf luminaries on the Continent have also received the honor. "You look at the past winners of this award and most of the greats of European golf are on there, which just adds to the prestige of winning it. To win the FedEx Cup and the American Tour Championship in some style and then follow that up by taking the Race to Dubai was very special."
Last week Stenson received the 2013 Golf Writers Trophy, an award that goes to the year's top golfer who was born or lives in Europe. The award is presented annually by the Association of Golf Writers, a group of scribes based in Europe.
"I'm not sure how I top it, to be honest," he added about his stellar season. "I am not sure many people will get the chance to do what I did this year, but I just need to keep working hard and pushing forward. The majors are the biggest goal for me now and if I can continue to play at the level I have been then I feel I can have a pretty good shot at them."
Stenson will open his 2014 campaign in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, which starts January 16. Among other players in that tournament will be reigning British Open champion, U.S. Open winner Justin Rose and McIlroy.
"2013 finished on a high in the UAE and it would be great if 2014 started on a high in the UAE," noted Stenson. "The country was a fantastic home for us for eight years and I've always enjoyed playing there."

2. Supplements are fine, whatever you were doing, keep on.
3. I think it's best to cut back on exercise. Walking is fine, but CrossFitting/Lifting should probably stop. Think of it as a de-load week.

October 16 through the 23, I did the PPD. I lost 8.2 lbs. I feel like doing it again. Is 5 to 6 weeks between to soon? I'm a female, 5'4" and I weigh 133 lbs. I've lost about 111 lbs eating Primally, 8.2 of that was PPD. I feel very close to my goal but I'm not sure what I should weigh. I've seen weights from 105 lbs. to 125 lbs listed for a 5'4" woman. I'm pretty sure I have medium size bones. I'd welcome any input. Thanks.
I'm curious how this would work with additional fruits, vegetables, rice, and sweet potatoes added, while avoiding especially high protein/fat foods for the two week duration. I'd be willing to find out! Anyone interested in me doing that experiment? I'd be happy to chronicle it.
I have recent lab work with follow-ups scheduled, glucose meter and strips, a Paleo doctor, virtually every supplement known to man in my pantry, and lots of weight to lose.

It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. - Samuel Adams
If I had known about the PPD when I started PB several years ago, I would have incorporated it until i got to my goal weight. I think alternate week PPD would be perfect, as long as the other week was super high quality Primal Blueprint and not a crap-fest cheat week...
I would love to see you do an N=1 with potatoes and other plants and see how you do. I'm especially curious about the blood sugar aspect. If you have lots of strips, take glucose readings every 15 minutes for 3 hours after eating and plot on a chart, do this for 'only potatoes' and 'potatoes+stuff'. If you do this, it would also be cool to do it now, before you start, charting your primal blueprint glucose curve.
Good luck!
65lbs gone and counting!!
Fat 2 Fit - One Woman's Journey
You know what I just realized? PPD means Post Partum Depression to some people. Reminds me of when a young lady was talking about her ED and some guy chimes in on page three, have you tried Viagra?
Okay, so I did the shredded potatoes in the waffle iron, and all I have to say is:
Cuz they take awhile, like Otzi said.... but still, I had to scrape the first one off and
hoark it because it smelled too damn good.
The second one got full time on the waffle maker, then spritzed with vinegar and salt.
Another thing I know, is that I need to buy a water bottle and fill it with vinegar because
holy frankenf*cks that was DELICIOUS.
And, it's also hilarious how a 1lb potato can wither down to 70 grams of waffle ironed shreds.
In other news, with regard to Monday's upcoming challenge, since October 29th I have specifically
over eaten on natural carbs (nothing processed) and cut down protein.
SO, when the potato challenge ensues, I can be semi-assured what I gain or lose, isn't stupid
jackass water.
My glycogen stores are probably overflowing with consuming 200g of carbs a day for a month, so
And like I said before, I've been doing potatoes during the day MOST DAYS and then like steak
and potato at night, so all potatoes starting Monday shouldn't be too much of a shock.
I also walk about 3-7 miles a day and lift weights M, W, F - and that will not change next week
unless "my body tells me to do so".
Like yesterday - didn't do jack shit in the way of exercise cuz I just wasn't feeling it and it was yucky
outside and the 5 loads of laundry were calling me (even though, here they still sit..... ahem), but TODAY,
after an almost all potato day yesterday, and only 1188 calories, I woke up full of piss and vinegar.
Totally rocked it at the gym in the weight room and then did some sprints and hills on the treadmill. Wha?
Also, with regard to next week, I refuse to give up MY coffee in the morning as well, which consists of 15g
of heavy cream and 75g of 2% milk.
I don't think the 7g of fat is going to kill the challenge.
I'm not a big fat eater either - I think I averaged 30g a day this past month, so no biggie.
p.s. I may sign up on my husband's computer with my real name, as A.) I'm never going to see my abs
and I couldn't give two shits, and B.) it's just easier to go with my real name anyway.
Wanted to post this over here, this was my comment over at freetheanimal.
"TT, thanks for that post because somehow i missed the quote from Peter. I believe Ray said that our bodies have quite a bit of reserves when it comes to vitamins/minerals and it will scrounge what it needs. So becouse of this, i wonder if white rice would work just as well for 1-2 weeks. Maybe added soy sauce for a bit of sodium and protein. Its interesting because it would be even easier to eat nothing but rice, just have a cooker going 24-7 and grab a bowl when hungry."
I thought this might be an interesting experiment. A rice cooker is so much more convenient then potatoes and im sure for millions of Asians, rice is mostly all they eat. I know white rice has a pathetic nutrient profile but since its only a week or two and the mechanisms dont seem to have much to do with nutrients, maybe this would work well.
Any thoughts?

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010.
Woke up at 6:30 AM sweating hard. It's probably the hormonal flux.
Workout of the Day:
8 20 second sprints with 90 second rest intervals for a 20 minute workout. Started half with right foot, and half with left (noticeably weaker when starting right foot). Upped proportion of jogging to walking during the rest interval.
Haven't eaten yet! Made an adapted version of Liebowitz's Goat Cheese custard last night. I've never baked a custard. I think I overcooked it, actually. Planning on making coconut cream ice cream later today.
Recipe ideas:
To recreate a graham cookie texture, make meringues and crush them into chunky pieces? Or make a pavlova and a no-bake filling (goat cheese cheesecake?). Cookies could be built on a meringue-type recipe. Add macadamia nuts and use erithrytol?
Period day two. medium. Mild cramping and "bottomless pit" hunger yesterday. Larger volume of blood than normal. PMS was worse than usual. I still have mild hirsutism in selective areas.
I'm still 120 lb. 33.75, 29.25, 37.25 inches.

"It's a complete fabrication," said Mark Beach, AARP's California spokesman. "There's a place for debate and there's a place for opinion, not out-and-out lies."
The rumors gained traction among senior citizens in the Santa Clarita Valley. "They told us after 70 (years old) they're going to reduce the level of our health care and they're going to teach us how to kill ourselves," said Terri Wahl, 72, of Canyon Country.
Beach blamed ominous forces for propagating the rumor. "I believe there are well-organized and well-funded organizations that don't want the status quo to change," he said.
Beach declined to specify whom or what those forces are.
Congressman Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, R-Santa Clarita, addressed the health care debate on the floor of the House of Representatives.
"Start reading about how they're going to have you, at 65, go in and have a planning session with a health care consultant on how you're going to die," McKeon said.
In an e-mail from McKeon's office, staff members clarified McKeon's comments, saying the congressman was referring specifically to Item E on page 425 of the bill. The paragraph details consultations on hospice care.
McKeon press secretary Lindsey Mask said Item E indicates that the bill has an end-of-life planning element.
"Hospice care is for the terminally ill and usually involves a five- to 10-day stay," said Brad Berens, executive director of the Santa Clarita Valley Senior Center.
Beach, who is familiar with the comments made by McKeon and other members of Congress, characterized the comment as a misrepresentation of the bill and said it was irresponsible on the part of a congressman.
"Members of Congress should know better," Beach said. "I know what the provision said, and it's not what the congressman said."
However, some senior citizens gathered Friday at the Senior Center think AARP should know better than to support this version of health care reform.
"I'm very suspicious of AARP," said Pauline Norris, 86, of Castaic. "They need not to agree with what's being said by the supporters of health care reform. They need to advertise against it."
Norris, who is a member of AARP, said the organization shouldn't abandon the senior citizens who make up its base.
Beach said the AARP still hasn't endorsed any form of health care reform, and its current actions are aimed at debunking myths.
"What we're hoping for is that the debate happens in both (congressional) houses and we can get behind a health care plan we can support," he said.
There are two versions of the health care bill, one in the House of Representative and one before the Senate. The House bill contains language detailing end-of-life counseling but says nothing about euthanasia, Beach said.
The language in the House bill does include counseling for living wills and medical directives paid for by the government.
"Living will and medical directives serve to help patients, not the government," Beach said.
Consultations like the one detailed in the House health care bill are common practice at the Santa Clarita Valley Senior Center, said Ade Sogbein, assistant director of support services at the Senior Center.
"You need to make sure you have a voice," she said. "When you've got a health directive drawn up, you have a voice."
Sogbein meets regularly with senior citizens to discuss end-of-life issues and understands why the recent chatter about euthanasia in the blogosphere and in the news has struck a nerve with the elderly.
"When we talk to seniors about these issues, we try to make them comfortable because they get very anxious," she said.
Bill Stehle, 68, of Newhall, wants his fellow senior citizens to wait patiently as Congress debates health care.
"It's my opinion that it's too early to see how this is going to shake out," Stehle said. "People need to be patient."
Congress is recessed. Before any reforms can happen, the House of Representative and the Senate will have to pass similarly worded legislation, Beach said.
"There's nothing close to a final bill yet."

> 2012 Queens profiles: Stefanie Nation
2012 Queens profiles: Stefanie Nation
Gianmarc Manzione
USBC Communications
Published: April 5, 2012 |
Most people think preparing for a bowling tournament begins and ends with lots of practice. That is because most people are not Stefanie Nation.
Oh, sure, you will find Nation polishing up her spare game any night of the week, experimenting with different hand releases and layouts, putting her game to the test on Sport shots. But you also will find her running a 26.2-mile marathon out at Disney World, completing any number of 5K and 10K races in between, dragging herself off to the gym at 5:30 a.m. for another round of cardio and weight training.
Maybe that is not quite the sort of thing the word "practice" typically brings to mind. But if Nation's success is any indication, maybe it ought to be.
Nation, an eight-time
Team USA
member, is one of just two people to win the
North Pointe Junior Gold Championships
three consecutive times (2003–2005). She remains the youngest girl to qualify for Junior Team USA (age 15). She became a world champion in 2009, winning singles gold at the World Women's Championships. Oh, and she also won two PBA Women's Series titles.
"With the physical training comes mental training," Nation explains of her grueling fitness regimen. "To know that I can lift that much, or that I can run that far, that also helps your mental game just as much as it may help you get stronger or healthier, because you are pushing your body to places you never thought you could. And with that comes that 'Aha!' moment when you think 'I can do anything.' The more you work, the more you can do. It's a constant yearning for challenge."
But as any great player will admit, the only way to learn how to win as much as Nation has is if you first learn how to lose.
"Yeah, it's been quite a journey, but it's by no means been an easy one," Nation says. "People only see your successes—they see you bowling for titles on TV or whatever—but they don't see the trials that got you from one success to the next."
Few tournaments exemplify the trials Nation speaks of more than the
USBC Queens
, one of the few events Nation has yet to win. Last year, she crushed the field in qualifying—leading the tournament after the first block with a 247 average—and quickly proceeded to blister her first opponent in match play with a 761 series capped by a 299 game.
But that's the thing about the USBC Queens, where qualifying scores count for exactly nothing once you enter match play, where you find the look of a lifetime on one pair and then can't find your way to a 160 game on the next.
"You can be on an extreme high and then you get a bad pair and all of a sudden you're out of the tournament and you're like 'What just happened? I'm going home?'" Nation says of Queens competition. "You blink, and it's over."
Last year, Nation blinked. She followed up that 761 with a pair of 560s and found herself asking that same question all but one player asks themselves at the Queens each year: "What just happened?"
But if you think this is where a great player laments that elusive major title and wonders what others might think of her career should it never come her way, you're reading the wrong story.
"I don't relate my success to wins," explains Nation, who works as Tournament Coordinator for the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America. "For me, it's about the entire experience. I work in the industry, so even just something as simple as paying it forward by inspiring young kids to bowl is as important to me as winning a tournament.
"There is no doubt I want to win. I know that I am one of the best. I have experienced winning, I have bowled against these ladies and I know I can beat them, but all I can do is prepare as hard as I can and then when the lights go on, give it my all. And if it's written in the stars that day, fantastic. If not, well, that can be detrimental to a lot of people. But for me, the glass is always half full. It's about embracing opportunity, living in each moment. You just have to embrace everything with a good attitude, and when I do that, I usually find that everything works out the way I want it to."
Another way to ensure things work out, of course, is to know how you want things to work out. That has never been a problem for Stefanie Nation.
"She was very hard-headed when she was young; she was set in her ways. She would tell her coach 'I don't have to do that,'" Nation's father, Frank, laughs from his home in Miami, Fla., where Nation grew up. "Well, she finally found out she did. But all while she was growing up, I knew she was going to be a leader, not a follower."
When that hard-headed Miami kid heard the jeers of better bowlers in the local bowling center, Nation decided she would not just become as good as they were, but better.
"When I started bowling, there clearly were people who were better than I was, and there were people who kind of put me down. That lit a fire in me," Nation says. "Who are you to say I am not good enough?"
When the girls' bowling team at Palmetto High School ran out of players who could bowl, Nation decided not just to bowl on the boys' team, but to anchor them into the state championships.
And the thing about people who know what they're after is that success is not only something you seize; it also becomes something you just start stumbling into. Like that 865 series Nation shot in league last May, when she discovered she had tied legend Anne Marie Dugan's record for highest series by a woman in the state of Texas—a feat she describes as "ridiculous."
Nation would not mind experiencing a little more ridiculousness when she heads off to bowl the Queens again this year. But don't expect her to be counting on it.
"I am hoping—cross my fingers—that I have a better story next year," Nation says as she looks ahead to the Queens. "Of course, I'd love to add that to my resume, but it will not make or break me if it never happens. You always have to take the positives out of your defeats and work that much harder to not be in that place again. I know I am doing everything I can, and that there always will be bumps along the road, and people telling you 'You can't, you can't.' But I will do anything I can to prove anybody wrong."

A 34-year-old Redmond man has been arrested in Coos County, accused of sexually assaulting his 23-year-old companion from Bend as they camped at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.
Ty Armand Kaufman was booked into the Coos County Jail on Wednesday on first-degree rape and sexual abuse and fourth-degree assault charges. He was held on $760,000 bail.
Kaufman and his traveling companion were camping at the Box Car area off Horsfall Road, according to the sheriff's office.
Deputies say the woman walked to a nearby ATV rental business to report the assault.

Despite former Penn State President Graham Spanier's protestations, a state grand jury presentment offers compelling evidence to justify the criminal charges filed Thursday.
Spanier, who was fired nearly a year ago after former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was arrested for sexually abusing boys, is facing charges of perjury, obstruction, endangering the welfare of children, failure to properly report suspected abuse and conspiracy.
State Attorney General Linda Kelly announced the charges against Spanier and additional charges against Tim Curley, former PSU athletics director, and Gary Schultz, the former university vice president who oversaw the University Police Department.
Curley and Schultz previously were charged with perjury and failure to report suspected child abuse. They now face additional charges of endangering the welfare of children, criminal conspiracy and obstruction.
Kelly said she expects all three cases will be tried together.
Spanier's attorneys issued a statement declaring his innocence and trying to blame Gov. Tom Corbett for the charges.
"These charges are the work of a vindictive and politically motivated Governor working through an un-elected attorney general, Linda Kelly, whom he appointed to do his bidding and who will be a lame duck five days from now," part of the statement said.
The grand jury presentment paints a markedly different - and damning - picture. The grand jury document details communications between Curley, Schultz and Spanier about reports of inappropriate contact between Sandusky and boys in 1998 and 2001 and actions or inactions of the three university administrators.
The report also highlights the difficulty investigators had in obtaining information from Penn State until after Spanier was fired. The report said almost immediately after Spanier's firing and the trustees' order to employees to cooperate with law enforcement, evidence and emails that had been subpoenaed more than a year earlier were received.
A search of athletic facilities also uncovered about 22 boxes of Sandusky documents, photos and notes. Those facilities had not been searched when Spanier was in charge.
Based on the grand jury presentment, copies of email between the administrators and information in the Louis Freeh report on the Sandusky case, the charges appear to be far from the "farce" and retaliation that Spanier's lawyers claim.
Instead, it seems like Spanier's defense is the one trying to divert attention and blame, rather than accept responsibility.
Like Curley and Schultz, Spanier is innocent until proven guilty. But if convicted on the charges, like Sandusky, they deserve time in prison and the loss of their state pensions.

An Allentown City Council woman says she's happy to be home after a trip to South America took a nightmarish turn.
"A month and a few days laying in a hospital bed, it was horrible," shared Cynthia Mota.
For her, a quick trip to Venezuela almost turned deadly.
"I got really sick to the point that I had to have five blood transfusions."
The Allentown City Council woman traveled to the country to be with her brother while he had surgery. But then she came down with a serious case of shingles and suffered complications. While she was in and out of surgeries, what was going on outside of the hospital only added to the nightmare.
"It was pure chaos," described Mota. "A lot of burning of hospitals, not having milk, not having toilet paper, not having rice."
There's been political unrest in Venezuela since President Hugo Chavez died and the country is in turmoil.
Mota just got back to the United States, and she isn't letting her illness get in the way of the upcoming primary election.
"I know I only have five days but I'm going to start knocking on doors," said Mota. "I'm not walking perfectly but it's okay, I still have strength and I have my heart in my campaign."
The Democrat has served on council since she was appointed in 2012. She comes from the Dominican Republic and became the council's first nonwhite woman. Mota says she plans to campaign hard leading up to the big day Tuesday.
"I'm just glad I'm back home," she smiled. "I love America, and I love Allentown, there's no place like home."

You should rewrite your code so that it is correct. Sockets are
OS-agnostic. If written correctly, the socket code does not care if it is
run under Windows, Linux, Unix, Solaris, whatever. It's only code that is
written incorrectly that has problems.
