Get prepared for a spectacular final in Indian Wells, Calif., as Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are set to add another chapter to their rivalry in the BNP Paribas Open final on Sunday. Both men appear to be in top form, which should make for a thrilling encounter.
Djokovic booked his place in the final after a three-set win over American John Isner (7-5, 6-7, 6-1), but it was a hard-fought match.
Who will win the Indian Wells final?
The Serbian superstar clawed his way back from a 4-5, 0-40 hole to take the first set in brilliant fashion, and then outlasted Isner—who called for the trainers on multiple occasions—to set up a date with the Swiss maestro.
Federer, on the other hand, had a much easier semifinal matchup against Alexandr Dolgopolov. He blew by Dolgopolov with what he called "one of the best serving performances of his life," according to BBC Sport (seven aces and connected on 72 percent of his first serves), to end the game in just over an hour.
The Swiss legend is looking to win his fifth title at Indian Wells and his second of the year, after winning in Dubai just two weeks ago.
Federer beat Djokovic en route to that Dubai title, and he will have to go through that familiar obstacle once again.
The good news for Federer is that his health no longer seems to be a problem—at least from what he told the Associated Press, via Fox Sports:
I'm just playing more freely overall and with more confidence because I can get to more balls without thinking. I can wake up in the morning without feeling sore. I can go to bed not feeling like I hope I feel better tomorrow. I don't have these thoughts going through my mind and I'm not worried every single minute of the day.
A healthy and rejuvenated Federer means that we're in for a treat as these two greats take the court with a trophy on the line.
Prediction: Federer wins in three sets
Federer looks like the Federer we've grown accustomed to—as opposed to the slow and injured tennis player we saw at various points last year.
Roger Federer in startlingly vintage form, turning back the clock then racing against it to beat Dolgopolov 6-3, 6-1 in just 61 min #BNPPO14— Ben Rothenberg (@BenRothenberg) March 15, 2014
With his track record of success at Indian Wells (4-0 in finals there) and against Djokovic (17-15 against him head-to-head), his experience and hot service game will carry him to a difficult win over Djokovic.

Heritage Lottery Fund support for umbrella bodies
14 June 2013
The National Archives, in partnership with the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, CyMAL: Museums Archives and Libraries Wales, Scottish Council on Archives, the Archives and Records Association and the Institute of Fundraising, has received initial support for an £18,000 development funding bid from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) under its Catalyst umbrella programme. This is a strategic HLF programme for umbrella bodies to build fundraising capacity in heritage organisations.
The National Archives and partners are now undertaking a second stage bid under this programme to run a project between 2014 and 2017. This will support archives to increase the funding they receive from private sources, such as individual and corporate donations and trusts and foundations.
Funding capacity in archives
To embed fundraising as a core activity within the archives sector requires a cultural shift and access to resources and training. The project will use training and a series of pilot projects to help archives to build a strategic approach to fundraising, and raise awareness and understanding of the funding sources available to them. It will help to create the skills needed within the archives workforce to employ a range of techniques to improve fundraising and income generation.

T-Rex 5.5x8" Ink and pastel on paper (purchase info)
I finally wandered into the dinosaur hall to draw. I think I mentioned before that it is always very crowded, being a favorite area for adults and kids alike. I made the mistake of going in the summer, too. It was a little warm and there were tons of families on vacation. I wouldn't have bothered if I hadn't found this little nook near the Archaeopteryx. I didn't actually draw at the museum last summer, and I definitely think summer is a bad time of year to do so, at least in the busier halls. You'll notice this sketch has some weird color marks on the top. When I set to draw this, I wanted to do it on gray paper. I bring a little bag with different colored pieces of paper to work on, so I can pick as whim strikes. This time, the only gray paper I had left had test markings on it from an older piece. I think they were even done in Acrylics for some reason. In any case, a little of them still remain. That's why this piece isn't exactly 6x8"....
Sioux Headdress 6x8" pastel on paper (purchase info)
Since beginning this series, I've slowly been accumulating new things to draw with, even if it's just a new pastel pencil color. I've been favoring Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel pencils lately, all the while working through backlog of conte pencils, which I don't prefer but are fine. For black, I prefer plain ol' charcoal, even if the conte is a bit blacker. In the end, my blackest blacks usually involve ink now, even with the rest being in pastels. This headdress (and I'm guessing it's Sioux, I didn't take notes that day--feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) was rendered in 5 colors plus the paper: white, gray, a light beige, a dark brown, and black. Makes for some nice effects, but the more tools I add, the longer the drawings take and the more involved I get! You can see this progression, going back through the series.And with this, we arrive at the 12th monthly installment of this series. As with my Figure Drawing posts before it, since these are extra-curricular pursuits that involve me leaving my home to do, they are a little difficult to do. First off, they are outside of my work, which means it isn't time I'm paid for unless I can sell the art later. Secondly, there are periods where work is quite busy, and/or I'm traveling, and so I just can't get to it.
So I'm proud to hit the one year milestone, although truthfully it took about 18 months or so to do all the works posted in this series since, knowing the above-stated difficulties, I built up a few months' worth of posts ahead of starting, to pad my efforts. As well, not everything was posted, as there were a few clunkers. Bad choice of medium for the thing chosen for drawing, being tired of standing for a few hours, feeling rushed as the museum was about to close...there are numerous reasons for producing a bad piece, live on the spot.
I've stated before that this sort of work is important to me as an artist. It pushes me to consider things I hadn't before, gives me a venue for experimenting with media if I feel like doing so, and is at its most base level, training. Leveling-up. Whatever you want to call it.
But I think monthly installments of this are over for now. As with Figure Drawing, there will inevitably be times where I partake of it again, and I'll add to it as that happens, but my self-imposed 1st of the month deadline will for now end. Something more like quarterly might be best, schedule-wise. What's next then? Stay tuned.

BEREA - It shouldn't be a surprise that Josh McDaniels is head coach of the Denver Broncos at the tender coaching age of 33.
Growing up with a successful high school football coach for a father, McDaniels may have been designing plays in his crib. By the time he accepted a job as a graduate assistant at Michigan State University in 1999, he was well on his way to bigger and better things.
McDaniels owes much of his success to his father Thom, who was the head coach at Canton McKinley High School when Josh quarterbacked the Bulldogs in 1993. Thom coached Warren G. Harding High School from 2000-06 and is now the quarterbacks coach at Solon High School.

Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels
"My father had a great impact on me and my life, not only in football but in every other area," Josh said. "He's obviously the guy I've seen and witnessed the most coach his players and his teams. All those things I was able to witness were invaluable as being the son of a football coach. His workings on me I see every day, and I speak with him often during the course of the week.
"He's very happy doing what he's doing as an assistant coach in Solon. He loves coaching football. He also loves following his sons and our careers here in Denver."
Josh became the sixth youngest NFL head coach ever (32 years, eight months) when the Broncos named him to the post last Jan. 12.
His younger brother Ben, who was McKinley's quarterback when the Bulldogs won the Division I state championship and mythical national championship in 1997 (Thom's final season as coach at the school), is a coaching assistant.
Youth is being served in large helpings in the new-age NFL. Browns coach Eric Mangini was 35 when he was named coach of the New York Jets in 2006, and he's now 38 in his second opportunity to run a team.
Being young can be a disadvantage for a coach at the outset of his career as a head coach. Not all players want to be told what to do by someone not much older than them.
"It's no different of a challenge than every other coach has," Josh said. "I learned a long time ago if you prepare and find ways to make players better, find ways to give your players a better chance to win, every player listens. I always tried to do that in New England, and that's all I brought here.
"I'm going to work hard and be prepared. Hopefully, our staff is going to do the same thing. When you give them an opportunity to be better players, they listen to you. Everybody kind of ignores the age situation."
Josh didn't get off to a great start in Denver because of a well-publicized falling out with quarterback Jay Cutler, who wanted to be traded when he thought that Josh wasn't sold on his talents. There was a report Cutler refused to answer phone calls from Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, which might have sealed his fate in Denver.
After entertaining several trade offers, the Broncos decided to trade Cutler to the Chicago Bears for quarterback Kyle Orton and a first-round draft choice. Josh was criticized for the way he handled his first major issue as a head coach.
"That's just one of many things that occurred here in the offseason - the good, the bad, the indifferent - that we had to deal with and move on from," he said. "Really, your focus is challenged by a number of little things. Some may be bigger than others. Ultimately, your goal is to win games, and if you do that I think everybody is content with the results."
Josh and Mangini worked together as assistants for Patriots coach Bill Belichick from 2001-2005. Mangini was the defensive backs coach from 2000-04 and the defensive coordinator in 2005. Josh was a coaching assistant from 2001-03, the quarterbacks coach from 2004-05 and the offensive coordinator the last three seasons.
Mangini isn't surprised by how quickly Josh has moved up the coaching ranks.
"Josh is a really smart guy," Mangini said. "He's very intuitive. He was never afraid to make suggestions. Looking at the offseason and acquisitions they made, I thought he did a really good job. I called him to tell him. It's difficult making that transition the first year."
The game Sunday in Denver between the Browns and Broncos will be the first involving two of Belichick's proteges. Mangini and Josh might be different in some ways, but both strongly adhere to the Belichick coaching doctrine.
"If you pay close attention to the things Bill does, you know there aren't many things he did when I was there that didn't correlate to winning games," Josh said. "You try to take his philosophies and his approach, and you try to apply them to your team. He gave every person in that organization a great opportunity to see firsthand how you win games and build a championship team.
"Hopefully, we all took good notes and that's our tasks now with our own organizations. I know he gave us a tremendous foundation, and I will be forever indebted to that."

Heloise: Binder helps keep track for emergencies

Rosemond: Biting primitive response to frustration
Q: My live-in 2-year-old grandson started biting people, usually for no reason, about six months ago. We're not talking about love bites, either. On several occasions, he's drawn blood. As a consequence, his two aunts won't let their children near him. The other day, we were walking and I was holding his hand. I suddenly felt his sharp little teeth sink into my wrist. He recently drew blood from an 8-month-old baby his mother was tending. I put him in a few minutes of time out every time he bites someone, but it's obviously not working. Should I spank him?

Letters To The Editor

Dear Abby: Dogs must be trained to know place
DEAR ABBY: "Deeply Concerned in Evanston" wrote you about the danger of a small child being left alone with a dog her niece had adopted from an animal shelter because the dog was aggressive with other dogs. You advised that "anyone who would leave their little one around an animal who has shown aggressive tendencies was 'barking up the wrong tree,' and small children should not be around animals unless supervised." I agree. And as a former E.R. nurse - as well as a former explosive detection dog handler for the U.S. Air Force - I would like to clarify.

Greatest Aussie fighters of all time
I made this list a while ago. Its based on both skills, resume and achievements. In other words, you got two fighters with equal skills, but one has a better resume or has won more titles than the other one-that fighter is ranked first. In other case, there is a fighter that has less titles but is better than the other that has more, then he is ranked first. Oh and btw, only guys born or raised in Australia count. And active fighters also count.

Texas Drought Sparks Water Well Drilling Frenzy
In the Central Texas town of Spicewood, near the much-diminished Lake Travis, a Bee Cave Drilling crew used a 35-ton, 40-foot-tall drilling rig to create a hole 350-feet deep in the yard of a home.
After the hole was drilled, workers put a casing down it and sealed the area with cement, creating a water well that would allow the homeowners to collect groundwater and avoid relying on the public water system for irrigation.
As the most intense drought in state history drags on, plenty of Texans are waiting for months to have such wells drilled, fearful that their municipalities ...

I'm a lifelong knitter, from a family of knitters, gardeners, seamstresses, and sailors (yes, even the men!) - who also happen to be doctors, scientists, priests, and businesspeople (yes, even the women!). I like to design baby blankets, accessories for children, adults, and the home, and garments for children and adults. You can find my patterns through my indie line here on Craftsy or in a variety of print and online magazines and books. I happily work with local yarn stores, crafters, and indie dyers: please contact me to start a conversation about how we can support each other!
I'm a certified knitting teacher, accomplished technical editor for knitting patterns, and in my daily life am an academic science librarian.
This lovely summer scarf is great at warding off both overzealous air-conditioning and those cool breezes that occasionally rise in the summer months. Knit out of cotton with a snowflake (or is it flowers?) eyelet motif, the scarf/stole adds nice weight around your shoulders without the heat retention of a wooly garment.
2nd Time Cotton is spun from recycled cotton from the "fiber industry", with enough acrylic content to make it smoother on the hands and in the washing machine.
Likewise, this scarf can be recycledfold it lengthways when the weather gets cold to make a nice warm-climate "winter" accessory.
The scarf uses almost exactly two skeins of the 2nd Time Cotton. If you wish to lengthen the scarf you will need another skein. Additionally, you can add width to the scarf in 3.5in (9cm) increments by increasing the number of stitch repeats worked widthwise. To make a 15in (38cm) wide stole you will need approximately 500yd (460m) of worsted-weight yarn.
16 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in Flower Eyelet stitch/approx. equal to stockinette stitch

Pregnant in the Weight RoomEmily Malone
Whenever I get emails from readers or friends wanting to know more about how I got into better shape, built muscle, got faster as a runner, etc. I always point to one thing. Strength training.
I can't emphasize enough how important I think strength training is to having an overall toned build and healthy body. Whether your goal is general fitness, increasing speed as a runner, or losing weight, strength training is the most effective way to build lean muscle and give your body shape.
Working out while pregnant has forced me to think about my strength training in new ways. Pre-pregnancy I would choose the weights and exercises that really pushed me to my limits. My goal was always to completely burn out by the last set, so that I knew my muscles had been worked to their max for the day. In order to be effective, it is supposed to be difficult!
But working out while pregnant is totally different…
I have to be careful to not push myself too far, and always make sure to stop when I can feel my body straining too hard or tiring too quickly. The goal now is not to make it difficult, but rather just to keep my muscles engaged and body moving. While I have significantly reduced the weight I lift for each exercise, I'm still lifting enough that it's keeping my muscles toned and my body healthy.
I've talked to my midwives about my workouts and have been assured that, as with all pregnancy exercise, because it's something I was doing regularly before, my body is conditioned to continue to do it while pregnant (at a less intense level).
I have also had to pick and choose the exercises that I do now based on what my new body can handle. Obviously anything that involves lying face down is out of the question, and I also make sure to avoid doing anything flat on my back. I usually stick to upper body and leg exercises that feel the most comfortable.
I do a mix of free weights and guided machines to work different muscle groups, and I try to make it to the gym three times each week. To give you an idea of what my pregnancy strength training has looked like, you can see my full workout described on Daily Garnish!
One of the many reasons pregnant women struggle to find the motivation to exercise is because pregnancy can be really really exhausting. And while I've definitely found myself glued to the couch some days, more often than not, I find that workout out and staying active has given me more energy and more motivation to keep moving.
My hope is that by staying strong and keeping my muscles engaged, I'll have a stronger core that will help me in childbirth. Either way, continuing strength training while pregnant has been a fun opportunity to approach weight lifting with a new perspective.
And for anyone who tells me that the weight room is too intimidating or scary, if I am in there with this big baby bump…
…you can do it too!

Manufacturing employment grew by 32,000 in May 2004. Since January, manufacturing has added 91,000 jobs, mostly in its durable goods component.
In May, employment rose in three construction-related manufacturing industries: fabricated metal products, wood products, and nonmetallic mineral products (such as concrete and cement). Employment also increased in the computer and electronic products sector.
The manufacturing workweek increased by 0.4 hour to 41.1 hours in May, more than offsetting declines in March and April. Manufacturing overtime edged up by 0.1 hour to 4.7 hours in May.
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 248,000 in May. The May increase in payroll employment follows gains of 346,000 in April and 353,000 in March (as revised).
Payroll employment data are from the Current Employment Statistics program. The above data are seasonally adjusted. Data for April and May 2004 are preliminary and subject to revision. For more information, see "The Employment Situation: May 2004" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 04-996.

Blake Griffin: No More 'Lob City'
No, Blake Griffin isn't grounded. He'll still be one of the NBA's best dunkers. But "Lob City," the nickname for Griffin and his high-flying teammates with the Los Angeles Clippers, might be.
"Lob City doesn't exist anymore. Lob City is done," Griffin told ESPN's Shelley Smith in an interview at the Clippers media day on Monday. "We're moving on and we're going to find our identity during training camp and that will be our new city. No more Lob City."

Our Beloved Anne of Green Gables Gets Blonde Bombshell Makeover and Outrage EnsuesMonica Bielanko
I grew up reading the Anne of Green Gables series over and over again. My love for the delightful red-head knows no bounds. Well, except for when she's portrayed as Pamela Anderson in a flannel.
Anne Shirley, the title character of the 1908 Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery received a makeover that isn't sitting well with just about anyone. Except for 13-year-old boys, maybe. Yes, our beloved Anne is now a sexy, blonde bombshell sporting come hither eyes whilst running fingers through her bleached locks.
The makeover comes courtesy of CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, a self-publishing company whose books are sold on Amazon. Slapping new covers on old classics is nothing new, but COME ON. Sex siren or no, at least give her RED HAIR. Not only is the cover just plain wrong but it ruins the naive charm that is as much a part of Anne Shirley as her fiery hair and freckles.
According to theobserver.com, I'm not the only one upset by the cover. Apparently the new edition has so far received 500 mostly angry comments and has an average rating of one star. Here's an example of what people are saying.
"As someone who grew up on these books and other books by Lucy Maude Montgomery, this makes me want to vomit. I don't even see this as merely a mistake regarding Anne's hair color but the overt sexualization of this literary character. She was actually a young girl in the first books and at no point in the series does she ever revert to pole-dancing in flannel to save the family farm."
"This is nuts, offensive even. That cover image has to be a joke. Anne is a redhead and everyone knows that (or so I thought). It is a very important part of the story and having once been a little redheaded girl myself it is very important to me. I love these three books to death, but I will never buy copies of this edition for anyone. For shame!"
"The "Updated" cover of this product is terrible. First of all, Anne has red hair. RED HAIR. It's a key part of her character and is a strong influence on her words and actions. Secondly, Anne is 10 at the start of the series. What is up with the bedroom eyes? Did they just do a Google image search for Sexy Farmgirl? Does anyone publishing this book have any idea of what the stories are actually about?"
It's interesting to note that today the image is no longer on Amazon where the book is being sold! Perhaps that means the company has responded to the outcry?
So bothered was I by the cover and how it might mislead all the young girls who pick up this copy of Anne of Green Gables that I pulled out my tattered copy to reread the description of Anne in the book:
"But just now I feel pretty nearly perfectly happy. I can't feel exactly perfectly happy because–well, what color would you call this?"
She twitched one of her long glossy braids over her thin shoulder and held it up before Matthew's eyes. Matthew was not used to deciding on the tints of ladies' tresses, but in this case there couldn't be much doubt.
"It's red, ain't it?" he said.
The girl let the braid drop back with a sigh that seemed to come from her very toes and to exhale forth all the sorrows of the ages.
"Yes, it's red," she said resignedly. "Now you see why I can't be perfectly happy. Nobody could who has red hair. I don't mind the other things so much–the freckles and the green eyes and my skinniness. I can imagine them away. I can imagine that I have a beautiful rose-leaf complexion and lovely starry violet eyes. But I CANNOT imagine that red hair away. I do my best. I think to myself, `Now my hair is a glorious black, black as the raven's wing.' But all the time I KNOW it is just plain red and it breaks my heart. It will be my lifelong sorrow. I read of a girl once in a novel who had a lifelong sorrow but it wasn't red hair. Her hair was pure gold rippling back from her alabaster brow. What is an alabaster brow? I never could find out. Can you tell me?"
There can't be much doubt. It's red, ain't it? And it's her lifelong sorrow. And now, very much like Anne, I am in the depths of despair for CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform is not, I repeat NOT a kindred spirit.
There. That's better.

I have been Primal for 5 weeks now and would like to know how the ladies that posted on here are getting on now with PCOS symptoms especially with weight loss and insulin resistance.
Printable View
I have been Primal for 5 weeks now and would like to know how the ladies that posted on here are getting on now with PCOS symptoms especially with weight loss and insulin resistance.
Hi there. I have been primal for over 2 years now. I also have endometriosis. Going primal has done wonders for my health and weight loss. (30lbs to date) I still needed to take Metformin to get my periods regular. But my periods were much better to handle. Less cramps, less heavy. Yet I did need to go back on birth control to help with the pain of endometriosis. My blood sugar came under control also. My triglycerides and other blood work look great. I am still dealing with acne. So, being primal has definitely helped, but it hasn't been a cure all yet. Maybe someday. I was sick for over 20 years and primal for just 2. So I'm getting there. Be encouraged, you are on the right path!
my guy found this for me, and i'm forwarding it to all of you. i learned some new things about insulin.
[url=http://theprimalparent.com/2011/07/07/an-unconventional-approach-to-pcos-polycystic-ovarian-syndrome/]An Unconventional Approach to PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) | The Primal Parent[/url]
Thank you, ladies for the encouragement and reading material. it's really helps to know that someone else has been there and has had great benefits. I haven't had a period for about 2+ years and I am really hoping that going Primal will really help to bring to get my cycle back.
Avoiding carbs is the only thing which ever worked with most of symptoms, though this month I went on a sort of a carb frenzy going well up 100gr the other day and this afternoon.
Hormonal therapies were a total fail for me, I got severe depression when I was a teen (discontinued and used the "starve and codeine/NSAIDS symptoms management protocol" plus staying at home during heavy periods).
My period went away when I was following dialysis therapy and pain got nasty. Nasty as in "I can't walk" and "vomiting out of migraine" nasty, with colon paralysis once in a while which was excruciating and potentially deathly given the fact that at the time I was on peritoneal dialysis (12 hours a day). I'm lucky I'm not prone to opioids addiction or I'd be a total junkie.
I was forced into hormonal treatment because of bone density issues and the sort and that got hellish, put an end to my family living and blowed away any piece of mind I had, I knew it was the pill but anyway I couldn't get out from bed so bad I was feeling. I dropped it after six months but it was too late, they've tried progesterone cycles and it blew up my coagulation panels. My veins at that time were showing like hell, but the worse part was pain getting constantly bad and blood loss being so heavy I was on a transfusion protocol (and at that point I sent all out the window and refused everything). Cloths were huge, yes.
When I changed to hemodialysis I switched diets (so to make the nutritionist happy) and almost died because of high potassium (7.9), they kept on saying I was eating to much vegetables and foods rich in potassium when I was not: glucagon was eating my at the time noticeable muscle mass and potassium was just a byproduct of it.
If I stay clean and high fat low anything which might touch my insulin levels I live a happy life and cysts stay really small (2.5 cm while I had 9 cm cysts during "glorious" times). My extra endometrial tissue is in the rectum and that causes a lot of problems, anti inflammatory drugs (steroids or not) are not available for me anymore (NSAIDs could damage my transplanted kidney, I already take enough steroids and opioids and their agonists are currently unavailable because of their liver metabolism competing with immune-suppresant drugs).
I know I'm lucky and got it easy because I have a manageable condition which got truly better after transplantation allowed some diet adjustments, in my case insulin is fully responsible of my ovaries misbehaving it so I can get on with it the easy way by staying primal as much as I can.
BloodOrchid you really can get away with dairy? I tried mascarpone this month, and some aged cheese but pain came back and I got into cravings. Maybe goat cheese? I really love cheese.
i might lose weight faster if i cut dairy out but the only real noticeable affects it has on me, that i can tell, is getting a runny nose
at one point i was eating sweet potatoes & cream cheese every day and my symptoms were non-existant, periods regular and pain free
I have mild PCOS, I had a generally regular cycle since it's start but always excruciating and heavy. Recently I developed polymennorhea from some emotional stress, and I've only been Primal 20 days, so I don't know if it's really had a chance to have an effect. However, my insulin has felt much better - I'm not crashing or getting woozy. I've also lost a few lbs (I'm 5'5" and 164 now, from 167 starting!). I'll keep you guys updated on how it goes :)
I recently stopped dairy for the Whole30, and I think I'll try to stay off it.
I don't fast because I'm a recovering bulimic and being hungry at all puts me into a rabid scrounging of anything I can get my hands on. I get way too deprived and eat everything in the fridge, carbs included.. So I figure until I rebuild my relationship with food I shouldn't attempt to fast.
I went off of birth control in August 2011 and didn't have my first period until February 2012. Then I had one in July. I had started (re-started) eating primal at the end of June and my period re-appeared in September. Meaning I went from 6 months & 5 months breaks to only 2 in such a short time. In July, my doctor diagnosed me with mild PCOS due to my irregularity and hormone pattern (higher testosterone/out of sync LH) and follicles on ovaries (no cysts though) and I take this much shorter break between periods as a sign that primal is already having an effect on my hormone patterns and body in ways other than weight loss.
(First off - sorry for the lengthy post!)
Hi all! I'm newer to the primal/paleo world. I started the primal lifestyle about 3 weeks ago and eat 90% primal I'd say (rice or potato maybe once a week along with an occasional treat like ice cream or cookie once a week). I've lost 10.5 lbs so far and already feel SO MUCH better!
I was diagnosed "officially" with PCOS in 2005 when I was 20. But I've had irregular periods since puberty (11 or 12), only like 2 a year. At first I didn't care because I was really active through high school and thought it was just awesome I barely had a period (silly me). When I did menstruate it lasted about 2 weeks, was very heavy and quite painful. I was a bit chubby as a child but since puberty I gained a lot of weight, I am currently about 100 lbs overweight. I'd gain 20-30 lbs in one summer even if I was active! I noticed the excess hair growth on my face/chest in middle school and since then I have been shaving or plucking. I'm currently doing at home laser treatments.
Anyway, when I was diagnosed I was put on birth control, which gave me regular monthly cycles. I was also put on Metformin but I had to stop taking it because it made me so incredibly ill!! I'm talking like no appetite, blood sugar crashes and diarrhea every hour! I tried lower dosage and slow release pills but it just gave me too many stomach problems so I said to hell with this, there has to be a better way! I had been looking for natural alternatives since. I discovered that taking raw apple cider vinegar does miracles, and I encourage you all to look it up for the multitude of health benefits.
I've always known that a low carb diet is best for PCOS but until I found the primal/paleo diet I was so confused if I should go gluten free, vegan, eat whole grains etc. Now I've found that eliminating grains altogether is so much simpler and I can definitely see the benefits. My chronic asthma/allergies are gone! So now I know that I CAN lose weight with this lifestyle (when I felt I was always DOOMED to be overweight) I'm just worried about the hair growth.
I know some of you mentioned that avoiding dairy has helped with the excess hair. Did it ever go away completely? I'm just sad because I love cheese, eggs and greek yogurt but if I need to give them up I guess I will. Besides being overweight (which is totally self conscious as it is) I feel like the excess hair is what makes me feel the MOST unfeminine. I mean it is so embarrassing for me that I have to shave my face just like my fiancee!! I'm doing the at home laser but it's not totally permanent and was wondering if dairy free really helped.
Looking forward to your suggestions! Thanks girls!
I've actually found paleo eating has been really good for me re hair growth. Admittedly I'm not very hairy but the three stubborn hairs I get that I always tweeze have either become so fine there is no issue or just don't grow anymore.

2013 Krzyztopor Castle (DIANA MINI)3 8
Let's make a little break (a poem!! ;) ;) ;) ) in the Diana Baby series. But we will stay in the DIANA world and Austrian stuff related with analogue photography.
So – this time – my beloved Lomography DIANA MINI and – the first time for me – Lomography film – 100/36 Colorneg.
First – like somebody wrote already in this portal – I forgot how much I like the cute Diana Mini: using it and the photos it can take. And of course how pretty this machine is. :) :) :) The most 'compact' in the compact-cameras' world, the most handy and comfortable in usage.
But second – the film was an experiment to me. Normally I was using films like Kodak or Fuji (and similar, possible to buy in regular photo-shops). Lately they were 200 ISO, so I wasn't sure what would come from the Lomography Colorneg, which is 100 ISO.
So – in 15.08.2013 we went to the Krzyztopor castle (what's funny, its name could be translated as "Cross axe" ;) ;) And actually it shouldn't be called a 'castle' but a 'palace'). I had no flash-lamp, so I wasn't sure how would come out the photos made deeper in the castle – with less of light – on the 100 ISO film. And imagine my surprise when I took the photos from a lab and… 99% looked very well, even those photos from "almost-dungeons" places! :)
I can state now – the Austrian combo "Diana Mini + Lomography 100/36 Colorneg film" is EXCELLENT!!!!!!
Now I'm sure: next films I will buy – will be the Lomography Colorneg FOR SURE, again!
Anywayzzzzzz. As You can see, the castle is really nice and in some places it looks like a Colosseum or sommit, heheh. I even didn't know we had something like that in our country. :)
PS: I made in this place also several shots with other machines but I will upload them later – don't wanna flood this portal with photos, You know.

|EcommerceBytes-NewsFlash, Number 2741 - February 16, 2012 - ISSN 1539-5065 1 of 3
Moonfruit, a do-it-yourself ecommerce storefront builder based in the UK, has opened its new U.S. headquarters. Since its launch in 2000, Moonfruit has helped merchants create 4.5 million sites. Ten percent of them are paid sites, and about 35 percent of its customers are already based in the U.S.
Moonfruit launched ShopBuilder in October, an out-of-the-box ecommerce solution that lets individuals and small businesses sell instantly on the Web, via mobile phones or on Facebook. Moonfruit offers several plans, including a free one ("Have a play before you get serious. Great for first timers").
Within the first 3 months of ShopBuilder's launch, Moonfruit added more than 120,000 Web, Facebook and mobile shops, supporting transactions in 15 currencies. About 15% of those are paid shops.
Wendy Tan-White, co-founder and CEO of Moonfruit, said ShopBuilder allows merchants to accept PayPal, but it is looking into adding additional payment services. Moonfruit is also about to add eBay integration and has plans to add Amazon and Etsy integration as well.
ShopBuilder allows sellers to add Twitter and Facebook buttons to listings, and will soon be adding Pinterest Pin-it buttons.
Tan-White said the service is aimed at smaller sellers who are looking for an easy to use service that allows them to set up extremely well designed shops. She sees the rise of "the consumer seller," and says keeping it simple and fun is important.
In conjunction with the opening of its U.S. headquarters, Moonfruit appointed Robbie Vann-Adibe its General Manager. He was most recently Vice President of Sales and Business Development of cloud computing company 3Tera before its acquisition by CA in 2009. He previously served as CEO at Method, a branding, Web development and experience design firm, and he was cofounder of Viant, one of the original pure play internet consulting firms.
The company has received a $2.3 million investment from Stephens (US) and 500 Startups, Dave McClure.

2013: The Year Of The Female Entrepreneur?
It is no surprise then that four of the major global consumer tech businesses – Facebook, Groupon, Zynga and Twitter – have more female customers than male. However, each suffers from a lack of female representation at board level, and this is true throughout the business world.
By Wendy Tan White (Founder & CEO, Moonfruit)
A recent poll from The Telegraph found that while almost a fifth of young women would like to run their own business, just 3% wanted to become a CEO of a company.

Cocktails learn the bitters truth
Cocktail expert Adam Lantheaume claims making drinks without adding a dash or two of bitters is like cooking without seasoning.
"We think of cocktail bitters as the spice cabinet of the bartender," he says. And things are getting spicier.
Rhubarb bitters? They're out there. Macadamia nut, papaya bitters? Ditto. There even are chocolate bitters and one made from a single-malt scotch.
Will Elliott, head bartender at Maison Premier in Brooklyn, has seen the proliferation and regionalization of bitters. "It's turned into a big cottage industry. The viewpoint from the consumer seems to be that it's just essential to any drink. Ten years ago, it was such an afterthought."
All bitters serve essentially the same purpose -- to unify and highlight other ingredients.
They are made by distilling herbs, seeds, roots and other ingredients, and -- true to their name -- have a bitter or bittersweet taste and potent aroma.
Angostura is the granddaddy of the bitters world, created in Venezuela in the early 19th century by a German doctor looking to improve the troops' digestive health.
It's still made today by House of Angostura and often is used for cooking as well as classic cocktails. Another classic bitters is Peychaud's, which was created by Antoine Amedee Peychaud in New Orleans and is a key ingredient of the Sazerac cocktail.
Adding bitters to a drink doesn't have to be complicated. It can be as simple as taking a classic gin and tonic and adding a dash or two of grapefruit bitters to heighten the taste.

A new website dedicated to educating and preparing Nevada youth and young adults to make smarter employment and career decisions has been launched by the Nevada JobConnect system.
The site - www.NevadaYouth.org - includes tips youth can use to approach a potential employer, such as resume and cover letter advice, interview do's and don'ts, and hints for landing a job. In addition, the site has many helpful links to relevant, State-approved programs and organizations to assist youth in assessing their skills, exploring their career interests, and planning for the future.
"Nevada's future starts with educating and preparing our youth", said Governor Sandoval. "I would encourage both youth and parents to take the time to explore this site and discover its many employment and educational resources. Through NevadaYouth.org, we're providing tools, tips and support services to help youth take charge of their future."
Beyond an educational resource, the website also connects students to current job openings throughout the State. A "Featured Jobs" section highlights available positions in Nevada appropriate to youth job seekers, and youth can also link to the Nevada Job Bank, a one-stop resource that allows users to search job listings by occupation, geographic area, job criteria and salary range, as well as submit their resume for employers to see.
The website has been well-received among educators; both Washoe County School District and Clark County School District are working closely with Nevada JobConnect to raise awareness of the site and its educational and employment benefits to students. Additionally the site is being introduced to student advisors and counselors as a valuable information resource.
"This is a statewide effort that we're excited to bring to Nevada youth," said Frank Woodbeck, Director of the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation. "The site will serve as a key component of our growing effort to connect our youth to potential career paths identified by the sector councils and elsewhere. We look forward to expanding and evolving the site to engage our future leaders of Nevada."

Hi Bill,
If the machine is crashing at all, I doubt you can tie it to FF. I
would suggest you contact the manufacturers support and have them deal
with it. It could well be a buggy video driver that needs updating, or
some other driver, bad RAM, excessive heat, etc. Once that gets
resolved, and FF still crashes, then I'd check back here.
Good luck,
Terry R.

Utility back Adam Ashley-Cooper comes into the starting line-up for winger Drew Mitchell.
It will be the third different position for Ashley-Cooper after starting in the number 12 and 13 jerseys for the Wallabies in four Test appearances this year.
Ashley-Cooper's promotion sees Western Force back Scott Staniforth come into the 22 on the reserves bench alongside Mark Gerrard and five forwards - Adam Freier, Al Baxter, Mark Chisholm, Stephen Hoiles and Phil Waugh.
With Waugh starting on the bench, Stirling Mortlock will again skipper the side with George Smith being retained in the starting line-up as vice-captain for the first of two Bledisloe Cup Tests this year.
Connolly has warned the Wallabies need to produce a complete performance to topple the All Blacks.Â
"New Zealand's strength is in their depth," said Connolly.
"We saw the impact their (reserves) bench made against South Africa last week and they are just so strong from (jersey) one to 22. To beat them we will need to play our best rugby and do the little things well.
"You can't afford to give the All Blacks any opportunities because they have incredible talent across the field and have the ability to hurt you from any position."
Connolly also admitted his team is looking forward to playing in front of a near-capacity MCG for the first time since 1998.Â
"It will be a tremendous occasion for the players and a great spectacle for the fans," said the Wallabies coach.Â
"I think the fans will see a typically tough Test between Australia and New Zealand. Bledisloe Cups are battles first and foremost.
"It will be a great event and New Zealand as always will be up for the occasion and so will we."
The contest will be the final Bledisloe Cup match in Australia for veteran halves pairing George Gregan and Stephen Larkham.Â
Larkham will play his 99th Test for the Wallabies, while he and Gregan are the only survivors from the last Test played at the MCG, also against New Zealand, in 1998.
Squad: J Huxley; A Ashley-Cooper, S Mortlock, M Giteau, L Tuqiri; S Larkham, G Gregan; M Dunning, S Moore, G Shepherdson, N Sharpe, D Vickerman, R Elsom, G Smith, W Palu.
Replacements: A Freier, A Baxter, M Chisholm, S Hoiles, P Waugh, S Staniforth, M Gerrard.

Updated: June 14, 2016 Home » Desktop Computer Software » Microsoft Windows & Office
The Microsoft Windows 7 and 8 crack is available even before they officially release it for sales this coming October. I Am looking forward to the official release of Microsoft Windows 7 Operating System from Microsoft and I intend to buy a genuine copy by upgrading my current laptop.
Based on my past experience, I learned that the benefits of buying original software outweight using pirated copies, they are:
- It comes with important updates, therefore more stable.
- It is morally right, how do you feel if someone steal your stuff?
- There are no hidden trojan or spyware like those in a pirated DVD
Related ➤ Download Microsoft Windows 8 Product Key (Beta), No Crack Required!
Windows 7 has yet to even be released officially to the general public, and already the dodgy folk on the Internet have fully cracked and activated the Ultimate version, with help from a leaked Lenovo OEM DVD .ISO file.
Stop piracy. Report suspicious activity immediately.
Currently I'm using Windows XP Service Pack 3, very solid and reliable. It would be great if Microsoft releases a striped down version for the public, I do understand there is a striped down version for pentagon. I mean, who needs all the features in Windows XP? For those who have the purchasing power, go for the original copy, especially those in small medium business.

Circa 1923 Princeton University Baseball Jacket Attributed to Moe Berg
Starting Bid - $1,000, Sold For - $2,644
The title of this description notes that the offered circa 1923 Princeton University baseball team jacket is "Attributed to Moe Berg" because it is impossible for MEARS to prove that this is Moe Berg's jacket that he used when playing at Princeton. It is marked "Berg" in the collar in black marker (as opposed to stitched, as made) and is not accompanied by direct first-hand provenance from Moe Berg. It is, however, accompanied by second-hand provenance that we believe would satisfy anyone. Additional research may provide a photo match of Moe Berg wearing this very jacket. The question of whether or not a particular player wore a jersey or used a particular piece of equipment has always been of great importance to collectors, and rightly so. Whenever an item is formally identified as "Attributed," all we can do is state the facts and let the collector himself be the judge. The details regarding this particular piece, a circa 1920s Princeton University baseball jacket attributed to Moe Berg, are particularly compelling and powerful. Robert Edward Auctions was involved in the original acquisition of this jacket and therefore can speak much more authoritatively on the history of this particular item then we otherwise would. Famed collector Barry Halper purchased this jacket, along with an extraordinarily large number of other items once belonging to Moe Berg, directly from the family representative of Moe Berg's brother, Sam. We know this to be the case because Robert Lifson, president of Robert Edward Auctions, acted as Barry Halper's agent in the transaction and personally received all of the material, including this baseball jacket, from Sam Berg's agent (a gentleman by the name of Charlie Owen, who was well known for many years as a close friend of the Berg family, and a true scholar of Moe Berg's life story). All of the items Halper received were once the property of Sam Berg's brother Moe, and for virtually all of the pieces there was no doubt that Moe had owned them due to the nature of the items. Included in the collection, along with this jacket, were all of Moe Berg's passports, his 1934 Tour of Japan souvenirs, his personal correspondence, his handwritten high school and college notebooks, his Princeton jersey (auctioned in the 1999 Halper Sotheby's auction, and identified in the collar in black marker exactly as this Princeton team jacket), and voluminous personal materials as well as spy-related documents, including even his OSS (the predecessor of the CIA) photo ID card. This Princeton baseball jacket has never left the Halper Collection and is being consigned directly by his estate. We have no doubt that this is Moe Berg's jacket. As a matter of due diligence, and as we do with all game-worn jerseys, garments, and equipment, we submitted the jacket to MEARS for independent, third-party evaluation. MEARS conducted exhaustive research on the jacket, and its elaborate findings are conveyed in a special two-page LOA, which can be viewed on our website. To summarize, MEARS' conclusions were based primarily upon the physical characteristics of the jacket itself. Also of great note was photo evidence obtained from a 1925 Princeton yearbook (courtesy of the Princeton library), which pictures members of the 1923 baseball team, Berg included, posing together wearing their team jackets. The grey-flannel jacket features a blue-felt "P" on the breast pocket. A blue-felt trim adorns the collar, the tops of the breast pocket and two side pockets, and the cuffs. A single row of three buttons runs down the front. A "Spalding" label appears in the collar, as does what appears to be the name "Berg" written in black laundry marker. The offered jacket matches up exactly to one of the two styles worn by some of the players in the 1923 team photo. However, Berg is pictured wearing the second jacket style (featuring two rows of buttons on the front and a different style font to the "P" on the breast pocket). The jacket displays significant wear, including a few holes in the collar and a tear to the cloth hang strap, which is also located in the collar. Based upon the evidence presented (and without reference to provenance), MEARS has verified with certainty that the jacket is an authentic 1920s Princeton University baseball jacket, with attribution to Moe Berg. Although we have conveyed the information regarding the jacket's provenance to MEARS, for MEARS to give weight to provenance tracing the jacket with certainty directly to Berg, it would require a letter from the Berg family, and not just our oral testimony. This is as it should be. That said, Robert Edward Auctions believes, quite strongly, that all of the evidence, taken together, leads to only one conclusion: that this garment is exactly what it has always been purported to be, a baseball jacket worn by Moe Berg during his years at Princeton, which was saved by the family, purchased by Barry Halper in the 1980s, and offered here for the first time ever.
Moe Berg was one of the most interesting figures in the history of baseball. Berg was a journeyman Major League catcher who played a total of fifteen seasons between the years 1923 and 1939, but it is not his baseball career that has intrigued present-day historians. Unbeknownst to all at the time, Berg was also working as a spy for the U.S. Government and was later recruited by the OSS, the forerunner to today's CIA. After his playing career, Berg traveled throughout Europe gathering information on Germany's nuclear capabilities. Following World War II he worked briefly for he CIA in an attempt to obtain Soviet atomic information. Always mysterious in his actions, the last two decades of his life were spent as a nomad. He held no real job and lived first with his brother Sam, and then later with his sister Ethel, until his death in 1972. LOA from Troy Kinunen/MEARS. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $2,644

A Louisville man avoided the death penalty by pleading guilty to killing his two young sons and their mother.
John Devine pleaded guilty Friday afternoon to three counts of murder and burglary.
He was arrested in July 2012 after breaking into a Pleasure Ridge Park home and shooting the three victims before turning the gun on himself.
Prosecutors were planning to seek the death penalty at his trial, which was scheduled to start in May.
In Friday's plea agreement, he was sentenced to life without parole.
