People have given some really solid advice here, and I don't think you need another person to echo the other posters' recommendations to cut the dairy, nuts, wine, etc. The only thing I would add is that you could try upping your protein. You're sedentary, so it may not be "necessary" per se, but Robb Wolf recommends to a lot of folks taking in right around 1g/lb body weight (not just lean body mass). We all have different protein needs and some are fine with the low-end of Mark's recommendation of .7g/lb of lean body mass, but some do require more for satiety.
I agree with the others and you can up the carbs a little, and just eat more vegetables, period. Also, thank your lucky freaking stars that you can maintain 135lbs on 2400+ calories a day. That is... ridiculous. And really lucky for you.
Now, I would say that your calories aren't being used very wisely and it isn't surprising that you're still hungry. I too can demolish close to 1lb of meat in a sitting, so that's all good. But if you want to eat 12oz of meat, sausage isn't a good idea if you're trying to lose weight, nor is 7 pieces of bacon in a day, nor is half a cup of heavy cream. I would tell you to cut the bacon, sausage, and heavy cream consumption in half and add more protein just for satiety's sake.
If you're new to PB, that much fat intake is great for you to jump in, get started, and switch your metabolism, or to maintain weight. It is not conducive to losing weight. Bump up your vegetable and protein intake (or don't, Saiorse always gives wonderful advice. I'm just going with what Robb Wolf has said for those looking to lose weight) and cut down the fat. 40-50% of daily calories is more than enough. If you're calorie-restricted and therefore burning body fat, your body is getting a high-fat meal ALL THE TIME. When you're happy with your weight, feel free to kick the fat back up again, since then you would be wanting to burn the fat in your stomach and not on your ____(insert body part here).

text: During the Civil War, Union-occupied Roanoke Island, which lies between the North Carolina mainland and the barrier islands known as the Outer Banks, became home to thousands of former slaves. Initially the former slaves set up a camp and established their own churches and the first school for free blacks in North Carolina. In the spring of 1863, Major General John G. Foster, Commander of the 18th Army Corps, ordered Horace James, a Congregational minister from Massachusetts who was serving as a chaplain in the Union army, to establish an official colony of former slaves on the island. Military authorities anticipated that the colony would be home to the families of black men who were joining the Union army in eastern North Carolina. The idealistic James envisioned a permanent colony of 10,000 freedpeople on Roanoke Island, the basis of what he believed would be a "New Social Order" for the South. James was assisted by at least twenty-seven evangelical Protestant missionaries, mostly women, who came from New England to help the former slaves make the transition from slavery to freedom.

Jeff Saturday told the NFL Network that expects Peyton Manning will suit up, hopefully in Indianapolis, in 2012:
"I talk to him regularly," Saturday said. "I love 18. He's my guy so I communicate with him regularly. He's doing his deal and he's getting ready and he'll be playing football. I can assure you of that."
So all of Manning's friends, in the NFL and in the media, seem to agree on the public message: Manning will be good to go. But where will he go? On that score, Saturday said he dosen't know anything more than anyone else.
"I hope it's here," Saturday said. "But he'll be playing somewhere. Absolutely."

West Ranch boys basketball may be getting healthy at the right time.
After battling various injuries and illnesses, West Ranch was able to run out its full assembly of talent on Tuesday en route to a 68-58 home win over Saugus.
Forward Hakeem Bradley made his return to the floor after missing a pair of games for the Wildcats (15-8, 4-3), and all-time West Ranch leading scorer David Franklin made his return to the scoring column after being shut out for the first time in his career against Canyon Friday.
"I thought David played great tonight," said West Ranch head coach Sean LeGaux. "He really challenged himself to play a good game, and he did it. Hopefully, he's got his mojo back."
Franklin's efforts produced a team-leading 15 points, while Mark Watanabe and Joey Fredrick put in 12 each to pace Saugus (10-13, 2-5).
"We're getting back to playing our style of basketball, but if we aren't healthy enough to press then we have a tough time scoring because we don't have a whole lot of size," said Saugus head coach Derek Ballard of his team, which has also battled its share of health problems. "We just didn't hit our shots consistently enough to win tonight."
Saugus started out sharp from the field, building a 16-10 lead after one quarter, but the Centurions went cold in the second.
While the Cents cooled off, the Wildcats heated up behind Beau Martin's 10 second-quarter points to take a 31-28 lead into the break.
"We were able to handle their offense with our zone, and we made our shots," LeGaux said. "(Saugus) got some good looks, but their jumpers weren't really dropping, and we were able to hold them to one shot on most of their possessions."
West Ranch buckled down on defense in the third, holding Saugus to seven points as the Wildcats built an 11 point lead heading into the fourth. A 33-33 tie quickly turned into a 46-33 spread thanks to a 13-0 run for West Ranch that featured threes from three different Wildcats.
"I'm still happy we played a full game tonight," Ballard said. "When we got down in the second half we didn't hang our heads."
Even though Saugus hung tough, the West Ranch zone and the Cents' spotty shooting prevented Saugus from cutting the lead under 10 in the fourth quarter, and West Ranch led by as many as 18.
"We're getting healthy. It's good to have Hakeem back out there," LeGaux said of his big man, who threw down a dunk in the fourth quarter for his only points in the game. "If we can keep everybody on the court we might be able to put things together."

It will interesting to see if it has:- increased DR-1DX type metering to help jpeg shooting
I believe most of us were fine with an incremental update until a few months ago. When D800 rumours came out, and the recent rumours about pro AF and metering in the 5DIII/X, I fear we have been hyped beyond recovery. Anything Canon releases will get a lot of whines unless it matches the best specifications the rumours have pegged it at. How unfortunate.
Was the 1Dx formally anounced allready? I wouldn't be surprised if canon presented their final version of it before any 5D III/X anouncement.Anyway keep it coming. Specs?
YES, best birthday present ever
If the 4K body was this close to release then wouldnt it have made sense for Canon to show/tell more about it at the C300 launch? I got the impression that it was still some way away and was included only to counteract RED's release.

Plans unveiled for $1.2 million veterans memorial in southwest Munster, Indiana
What is now a 6.5-acre plot of grassy land in southwest Munster, Ind., will, by this time next year, be transformed into the rough terrains of war-torn lands with shapes and statues depicting the haunting realism of war in the 20th Century.
Plans and renditions of such images were revealed Wednesday during a press conference and ceremony to introduce The Community Veterans Memorial - a $1.2 million park being built on land donated by The Community Hospital. The site is in southwest Munster at the corner of Columbia and Calumet avenues, located about 2 miles off I-80/I-94.
Well-known sculptors Julie and Omri Rotblatt-Amrany, Highland Park, Ill., presented renditions of their sculptures that will lead visitors on an educational journey through the memorial park. They are the artists who have created the famous sculptures of Chicago legends Michael Jordan and Harry Caray. (See artists' biographies attached).
The purpose of the Community Veterans Memorial is at least three-fold: to remember, to educate and to challenge. The artists are being guided by a committee of local veterans who shared intimate experiences and sentiments, helping the sculptors to recreate history in their life-sized bronze and granite structures.
"Our intention in building this memorial is to create a place for our community to honor our veterans and to educate all who will benefit from the freedoms they fought to protect," said Donald S. Powers, co-chairman of the memorial committee and a World War II and Korean War fighter pilot. "It is our hope that history will not be repeated."
The park will memorialize veterans from all four major military conflicts of the 20th Century: World Wars I and II, Korea and Vietnam. Each war will have a dedicated memorial, linked by pathways and changes in landscape to reflect the actual geography of wartime terrains. The artists are incorporating in their sculptures actual memorabilia, including pieces of uniforms, gear, and military vehicles.
"We will not do a heroic or propaganda approach to the wars - but instead, depict the suffering reality of life for the soldier in the field," Omri said.
The park's walkways will be decorated with memorial bricks honoring those who served or are serving in the military. Though approached separately, the different memorials have woven through them a central artistic expression of the horrors of war and the propensity for history to repeat itself.
The effort to develop the Community Veterans Memorial began more than a year ago. Preliminary plans for the memorial were conceived when a group of veterans and local community leaders gathered to reflect, share wartime memories, philosophize, and discuss how to educate future generations. This committee consulted with the commissioned artists.
The Community Veterans Memorial Committee comprises: Donald S. Powers, co-chairman; Edward P. Robinson, co-chairman; George Bone; Eliseo Castaneda; Peter Chang, Clyde Colgrove; Thomas DeGiulio; Paul Doherty; Betty Erickson; John Friend; Don P. Johnson; John Latko; Elaine Olson; Steve Pestikas; Judge James J. Richards; Donald Sands; John Sarnecki; Harold Simpson; Palmer C. Singleton, Jr.; Garnett F. Watson; and Joe Williamson.
Smaller subcommittees work directly with the artists on individual war sites to ensure they accurately portray the conflicts. Consultants for the World War I memorial are: John Friend and Tom DeGiulio; for World War II: Donald S. Powers, Betty Erickson, John Latko, Elaine Olson, Donald Sands, Palmer C. Singleton, Jr., and Harold Simpson. For Korea: Edward P. Robinson, Eliseo Castaneda, Peter Chang and Clyde Colgrove. For Vietnam: Steve Pestikas, John Sarnecki and Garnett F. Watson.
In addition to input from local veterans, the artists have engaged an interdisciplinary team that includes: adjunct sculptors from the Studio of Rotlatt-Amrany; architects Cinda Berry of Evanston, Ill., and Fred Kaplan of Deerfield, Ill.; and writer/researcher Kathleen van Ella of Lake Forest, Ill.
A large part of the Community Veterans Memorial Committee's duty is to help raise the $1.2 million necessary to complete the initial construction of the park. The Veterans Memorial Fund has been established to accept contributions both for building and materials, and for the memorial brick pathway, whereby citizens may purchase a brick to honor a veteran loved one.
Anyone seeking more information on contributing to the Community Veterans Memorial may call 219-836-4582.

Feb 15, 2006 | Researchers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) announced in December the launch of a three-year, $100 million pilot program for the Human Cancer Genome Project (HCGP).
Many senior U.S. researchers have publicly lobbied for a cancer genome project — one American dies of cancer every 60 seconds. In 2005, Broad Institute director Eric Lander floated the idea of a nine-year, $1.3 billion HCGP, backed by former NIH director Harold Varmus and others. Lander suggested surveying 250 genome samples from each of 250 tumor types, producing a comprehensive catalogue of cancer-causing mutations.
In a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., NHGRI director Francis Collins noted that while "more than 300 genes contribute to the diabolical transformation of normal cells into cancer cells," a complete inventory of the genetic aberrations in cancer was urgently needed.
Collins said the unique collaboration between the NCI and the NHGRI would "go beyond and behind the frontlines to create the first list of genomic insurgents that lead to cancer." The project will be called The Cancer Genome Atlas, or TCGA.
Collins said the TCGA pilot project would unite the "powerful resources and experience of the [NCI] with the genome attitude of the [NHGRI]... Together, we've committed to investing $100 million over the next three years to construct a powerful network of researchers, technology, and resources to tackle the cancer problem like never before."
"This is an audacious project," said Collins. "We could not have undertaken this project until now. The biomedical research projects are aligned, the time is right."
Andrew von Eschenbach, director of the NCI, said the TCGA pilot project would help make cancer a chronic manageable condition. "Mapping the cancer genome will be...an important step in the understanding of the genetic component of the cancer process and the genetic susceptibility of people who are threatened by cancer."
Project leaders said that all the data would be deposited in the public domain. The first tumor types to be studied will be selected in the next few months. Milestones will be set along the way to determine whether the project should be scaled up.
Collins acknowledged that there has been some anxiety about the total cost of the TCGA. "We have no idea" of the ultimate cost, he admitted, adding that lessons learned in the coming three years will determine the cost of expanding the project from two to three tumors to 50 or more. "Having a pilot project is a strong inspiration for the development of new technologies and the optimization of existing ones," said Collins.

Digital editions of sixty-two volumes on the history of Western Pennsylvania are currently available. These materials cover the growth and development of Pittsburgh and the surrounding Western Pennsylvania area from the period of exploration and settlement to the period of industrial revolution and modernization. Items selected for digitization are from the collections of the University Library System and from the Library of Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania, a partner institution.
The contents of the digital editions are fully searchable for ease in finding pages on which specific names, places, events, etc. occur. Additional navigation through the books is made simple via hyperlinked tables of contents which allow the user go directly to individual chapters and illustrations within a book. When complete, the collection will contain over four hundred titles.
In addition, 19th and early 20th century real estate plat maps originally published by the G.M. Hopkins Company have been converted to digital images and may be viewed using an ordinary Web browser. Eighty-five maps are currently on-line out of a total of six hundred that will eventually be made available. Ultimately this collection will reflect the changing urban landscape of the greater Pittsburgh area from the early 1870s to the late 1930s. The plat maps show lot and block numbers, dimensions, street widths, and names of property owners as well as churches, cemeteries, mills, schools, roads, railroads, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams.
The On-line Archival Finding Aids project provides convenient Web access to detailed descriptions of archival collections held by the University Library System, University of Pittsburgh, and the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania. This collection of guides to archival collections will enable students and scholars to more easily access important primary source materials held by these two major repositories and to identify items relevant to their research. The preliminary collection of sixty-three finding aids will be augmented monthly as more finding aids are encoded for Web accessibility. This effort is part of a multi-year project.
Funding for Historic Pittsburgh has been provided in part by the Hillman Foundation.

SEGUIN (AP) - A man linked last year by DNA technology to a 1992 slaying has been sentenced to 75 years in prison for killing a 15-year-old girl after a Diez y Sies de Septiembre celebration in Seguin.
Guadalupe Chino Sandoval, sentenced on Monday, was convicted Friday after a one-week trial.
District Attorney Bud Kirkendall had asked for a life sentence. Because 1992 sentencing laws applied, Sandoval, now 35, will be eligible for parole in 14 years. Under current law, he wouldn't be eligible for parole for 29 years.
The nude body of Eglena Diaz DeLeon, 15, was found in a church courtyard less than a block from the town square only hours after a celebration that attracted about 10,000 people. She had been strangled and her throat slashed.
The case went unsolved for a decade, while Sandoval married, had two children and lived just 11 miles southwest of Seguin in Marion, working as a welder.

Police: Woman pulls gun during argument over cigarette
Jacqueline Streeter accused of saying 'I got something for you'
An Oklahoma City woman is accused of pulling a gun on another woman who she said threw a cigarette at her car.
According to a police report, Jacqueline Streeter, 52, called police after seeing Miranda Bertram, 19, throw the cigarette. The report states that while the two were arguing about the incident, Bertram said Streeter pulled out a gun and said, "I got something for you".
Once on the scene, police said they found Streeter to be in possession of a pink and black .38 caliber revolver called the "Pink Lady," which was listed as stolen. The report also states that Streeter had a previous felony conviction for drug possession.
She was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and receiving stolen property.

An Introduction to Story: The New Storytelling App from DisneyCasey Mullins
This post is sponsored by Disney Story. To find out more about this brand-new story-creation app and how it puts the power of storytelling in your hands – click here.
Our lives are on our phones these days, everything from our schedules to our most treasured memories live within these tiny pieces of technology that go with us everywhere. No longer are we pulling dog-eared photos out of our wallets to show our kids off to the people next to us on the airplane, we're scrolling through entire galleries of our lives within our phones. Photos from first birthday parties and weddings, video from trips to the park or first steps. What means the most to us is never very far away from us with a smartphone and network connection.
While we may have our lives in our phones, how often do we get our lives out of our phones and into the hands of those who would truly appreciate the time we spent capturing everyday special moments? Sure we have numerous photo sharing possibilities, but sometimes the story behind the photos gets lost without others for reference. If you've ever opened up your photo gallery for someone to scroll through your photos you've probably had to skip past a few embarrassing duds or random shots of things you had no intention of ever showing anyone. (My daughter's gymnastics schedule for instance, I cannot for the life of me keep it on my calendar so I finally took a photo of it at her gym.)
This is where the new Story app from Disney comes into play. Story is a storytelling app that pays attention to the moments in your phone and compiles them into events you can then go in and curate into your own shareable story. Story allows you to add text, zoom, crop, rearrange and even add video. When your story is arranged perfectly you can either email it, share it on facebook or simply keep it on your phone to share with strangers on the airplane.
So many times we think a story worthy of telling has to be based off some big event, when in reality stories happen everyday. One of my favorite things to do is follow Vivi around for an hour, documenting all the little things that happen in her world during that hour. These are the stories I want to share with my family, the people who don't get to experience everyday Vivi on a day to day basis. I've started making stories about the day before I go to bed, while it's still fresh in my memory. All these little memories captured forever that are easily shared with whomever I choose.
I'm excited to see this app grow and change. I'm excited to see what other people use it for. I'm excited to leave an entire collection of stories behind for my girls, all while sharing them with my parents now. I'm also excited to show the people I'm about to sit by on the plane, Story, allowing photographic storytelling on your phone without having to show those strange self portraits we're all guilty of having.

What I'll Be Looking For In Today's Amazon Earnings Report 1 commentJul 25, 2012 2:25 PM | about stocks: AMZN
Amazon is set to report earnings today, here are two things I WON'T be watching.
1. Revenue growth: It'll be up. Double digits. Boring stuff. Don't run with the crowd.
2. P/E; It'll be sky high as always. Nothing to see here.
Here's what I will be looking at instead.
1. Accounting for the recently announced purchase of Kiva robotics. Assuming this deal has closed, this should be the first report showing the impact of this new operation.
Based on glassdoor.com reviews, I gather that Kiva is far from profitable at the moment. Guidance for the most recent quarter did NOT include Kiva results, and ranged from -260 million to positive 40 million. So while the unit is very, very small compared to the rest of Amazon, negative earnings from the new unit SHOULD force Amazon to teeter into the red even if the rest of the company was on the high end.
But, I don't think Amazon's accountant's will let that happen. They'll either hold off on reporting the new unit until a more profitable quarter AND/OR we'll see hocus-pocus earnings reported for the unit.
2. Growth in leases. It's nice that Amazon reports this number on a quarterly basis- but quite frankly, the leasing obligations are growing faster than sales and that fact- Amazon is still building warehouses at a double-digit clip- should scare the bejeezus out of investors thinking about the long term.
With sales taxes coming, out-of-state warehouses are not the future of ecommerce. Digital downloads, 3-D printing, temporary stores, mobile trucks, locker pickup, and local warehouses are all more efficient delivery mechanisms and are on the horizon.
Amazon is even leading the way in many of these areas- and good for them. But it doesn't matter, seeing the future is pointless if you can't let go of the past. IMHO, the long term longevity of a company depends more on how efficiently they can exit declining markets than on how exuberantly they embrace emerging ones.
The company is still seeing growth from the "click-and-wait" model- but this is when they need to start exercising discretion and dialing back on growth, even if it means sacrificing revenue in the short term. Leases have five to ten to twenty year terms, so you can't just exit overnight, and sales from old business model tend to tank before the business model replacing it becomes profitable- regardless of market share.
This is particularly important for Amazon because Jeff Bezos, for all that he is praised as a long term thinker, has never had to actually do this before. When he started Amazon he was starting from scratch, he never HAD redundant infrastructure to clean up.
If today's filing shows lease obligations growing significantly faster than sales, again, I believe Amazon is on the fast track towards bankruptcy in the next decade.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.Stocks: AMZNBack To Peter Larson's Instablog HomePage »

Save More By Looking High and Low: Supermarket Savvy
I'd always heard that certain shelves in the grocery store are almost guaranteed to sell products — and that food manufacturers pay big bucks for placement in these spaces. But is this a myth?
I checked it out, and it seems that while it is true, the practice is evolving. Historically, food manufacturers have paid a "slotting fee" to snag optimal display spots — child's eye-level for toys and sugary cereals, grown-up eye-level for other things, and placement of convenience items near the front of the store. This slotting fees have been so prevalent over the years that savings expert Consumer Reports even recommends shoppers avoid eye-level shelves and look high and low instead.
Change is happening, though. As the Wall Street Journal recently explained, the fresh produce section is now the place to be. With increased emphasis in recent years on healthy eating, consumers feel better about (and are more likely to buy) items simply found near fruits and veggies. Manufacturers have been quick to realize that by placing their products in the produce section, they'll likely see an increase in sales. Alternatively, they might risk being "lost" in the maze of aisles if shoppers don't venture back into the store.
So … slotting fees do, in fact, exist, and they aren't just paid for eye-level shelving areas. For optimal savings, remember to stick to your shopping list, avoid impulse buys, and always keep an eye on the unit cost to make sure you're always getting the best deal.

As one who has worked with groceries for many years, I know that eye level slotting does not work. I have seen too many new products slotted into prime real estate and flop, while older items shoved into corners keep selling constantly.
The very top shelf used to always be for overflow, not anymore! I hate it because I'm 5′ tall and cannot reach items I need. Then I either need to just forget it or go searching for someone to reach it. Very annoying!

What is the Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT)?
The simplest clinical indicator of a semicircular canal deficit is what I have just described - the head impulse test (also called the head thrust test, or the Halmagyi-Curthoys test, or the Halmagyi test). But detecting that saccade is subjective and relies on the clinician seeing the small corrective saccade after an abrupt head movement. The new indicator we describe below - the vHIT test uses a video camera to measure the eye movement and so it is objective and provides hard copy of the patient's performance. But first we will describe the test procedure and its logic.
This head impulse sign was described by Halmagyi and Curthoys in 1988, and from that time to the present, the clinical use of the head impulse test has been to indicate deficient canal function by virtue of the clinician (subjectively) observing whether there was an overt saccade or not at the end of the head turn. However some vestibular-deficient patients were missed by the head impulse test, even by expert clinicians, probably because of covert saccades. Clearly the ideal would be to have objective measure of both the head movement stimulus and the eye movement response using a system fast enough and accurate enough to detect covert saccades. The scleral search coil method of measuring eye movement achieves this aim, but it is clinically unrealistic, because of its huge expense, the high cost of each coil, the complexity of processing the data and the fact that patients do not like having a contact lens placed on their eye. However we have developed a new lightweight video system procedure – which we have called the video head impulse test (vHIT) – which does measure eye velocity and does detect covert saccades and is non-invasive and practical in clinics. Most importantly we have shown by direct comparisons that the accuracy of vHIT matches the accuracy of the "gold standard" search coil technique. vHIT has been validated by direct measures of VOR performance in healthy subjects and patients by two independent methods
– search coils and vHIT. At exactly the same time: the same subject, the same eye movement responses were measured independently by these two methods and compared and found they both give essentially the same answer.

In Brief: Taliban say they held indirect talks with U.S.
Taliban say they held indirect talks with U.S.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Washington has held indirect talks with the Taliban over the possible transfer of five senior Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for a U.S. soldier captured nearly five years ago, a senior Taliban official said.
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, 27, of Hailey, Idaho, was last seen in a video released in December. Bergdahl is believed to be held in the border regions between Afghanistan and Pakistan. He is the only U.S. soldier to be captured in America's longest war.
The Taliban official said the talks took place over the past two months in a Middle East country.
A U.S. official said the Americans are considering a prisoner exchange but would not comment on whether any new talks have taken place.
Iraq bombings kill at least 10 people
BAGHDAD -- An Iraqi police officer said a bomb ripped through a vegetable market in the town of Mahmoudiyah, killing six civilians and wounding 18 others. The town is about 20 miles south of Baghdad.
Another police officer said another bombing of a security patrol Wednesday killed four soldiers and wounded three in the town of Khalis, about 50 miles north of Baghdad.
Two medical officials confirmed the casualty figures.
Iran pressures its negotiators at talks
VIENNA -- As Iran negotiated about a nuclear pact Tuesday, the country's top leader ordered his government to take precautionary steps in case the talks fail and the head of the Revolutionary Guards warned the Iranian negotiators against concessions that could tarnish the nation's pride.
The comments by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the commander of the Guards, Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, reflected the difficulties faced by Iranian negotiators on the talks' second day. They are bargaining with six world powers for a full end to sanctions while trying to salvage their country's nuclear program.
Unless Tehran is prepared to see the talks fail, it will be forced into some compromises. But with the second round of the Vienna negotiations just getting underway, top Iranian officials were pushing their negotiators to be demanding.
Syria rebel leaders reject shake-up
BEIRUT -- The former leader of the Western-backed Syrian opposition's military wing Wednesday rejected his recent dismissal, and along with more than a dozen senior insurgent commanders severed ties with the political opposition-in-exile, further fragmenting the divided rebel movement.
The statement from Gen. Salim Idris comes two days after the opposition Syrian National Coalition announced that Idris had been sacked as head of the Supreme Military Council and replaced by Brig. Gen. Abdul-Ilah al-Bashir.
In a video posted online Wednesday, Idris said he and the 15 other signatories of the statement were breaking ties with the council and the opposition's political leadership.

A line has one dimension. It is represented by a line with two arrowheads (↔), but it extends without end. Through any two points, there is exactly one line. You can use any two points on a line to name it.
A plane has two dimensions. It is represented by a shape that looks like a floor or a wall, but it extends without end. Through any three points not on the same line, there is exactly one plane. You can use three points that are not all on the same line to name a plane.
undefined terms
Words that do not have formal definitions, but there is agreements about what they mean. Point, line, and plane are all examples.
line segment (or segment)
(written with a line, − , over AB) consists of the endpoints A and B and all points on line AB that are between A and B. Line segment AB can also be named line segment BA.
(written with an arrow, →, over AB) consists of the endpoint A and all points on line AB that line on the same side of A as B. Ray AB and Ray BA are DIFFERENT rays.
opposite rays
If point C lies on line AB between A and B, then ray CA and ray CB are opposite rays. Opposite rays are collinear.
The set of points the geometric figures have in common, when two or more geometric figures intersect.
Ruler Postulate
Disntance between points A and B, written as AB, is the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates of A and B. AB = |x₂ - x₁|
Point B is between point A and point C iff (if and only if) point B is collinear to point A and point C.
Segment Addition Postulate
If B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC. If AB + BC = AC, then B is between A and C.
Segment bisector
A point, ray, line, line segment, or plane that intersects the segment at its midpoint.
Midpoint Formula
The coordinates of the midpoint of a segment are the averages of the x-coordinates and of the y-coordinates of the endpoints. If A (x₁, y₁) and B (x₂, y₂) are points in a coordinate plane, then the midpoint M of segment AB has coordinates: [(x₁+x₂)/2 , (y₁+y₂)/2]

CLEVELAND - The Browns' defense is starting to gain a bad reputation, which is really a good thing.
Whether it's Phil Taylor taking a swing at Ray Rice after being sprayed in the face with spit, or the big nose tackle leveling BenJarvus Green-Ellis, the defense is becoming one of the NFL's more intimidating units. It starts with the 335-pound Taylor and spreads to players like Paul Kruger, D'Qwell Jackson and T.J. Ward.
"That's just the way I play," Taylor said. "The other guys on the team feed off of it. Being nasty is going to get us to being the number one defense. That's our goal."
The Browns aren't far from the top of the statistical heap defensively. Through four games, the defense is third in allowing the fewest yards per game (291.5). They're fourth against the rush (79) and ninth against the pass (212.5).
Those numbers have to be refreshing to see for defenders who have been part of some bad defenses. The standard method of operation in recent years was for the defense to play well at times but eventually give way because of time spent on the field due to offensive ineptitude. Rankings in the 20s and sometimes the 30s among the NFL's 32 teams were the norm.
"It's different this year and we definitely take pride in that," said Ward, who roams the secondary as the starting strong safety. "But we have to keep doing it every week. We don't want to start good and in the back end fall down. We want to be consistently in the top half of the defenses, and hopefully at the end of the year we'll be number one."
Ward brings the same aggressive style to the secondary that Taylor brings to the front seven. A little intimidation - whether as noticeable as a sack or as subtle as making the right read in pass coverage - is never a bad thing.
"You definitely have to be intimidating as a defense," Ward said. "At the same time you have to do your job. Bringing that intimidation factor is big for us. We have a great front seven and a great back end. It's a factor that you have the offense giving in to your will. Making them second guess decisions, passing over the middle because you are an intimidating factor."
The greatest source of pride for the defense has been its stout play against the run. It began when the defense limited the Dolphins to 20 yards on the ground. It gained steam when Rice managed just 36 yards the next week, and it reached a peak when Vikings great running back Adrian Peterson was held to 88 yards.
Last week Bengals receiver A.J. Green had just 51 yards on seven receptions against the coverage of cornerback Joe Haden.
"It means a lot because they (other teams) are going to go, 'how do we stop Adrian Peterson and how do we stop A.J. Green?' " Taylor said. "The Browns played them very well, so let's go watch their tape."
Jackson has been part of some bad defenses since joining the team in 2006. He likes what he's seen from the run defense.
"I don't think anyone will be able to run on us," Jackson said. "We faced one of the purest running backs in Adrian Peterson. We feel that's what we do best. We want to be a top defense when this season is over with."
That means flexing a few more muscles.

It's a safe assumption to say that the tattoo industry offers a fairly male-driven career path. When you think of a tattoo artist, you may think of a burly gruff man ready to inflict pain with a needle. With the rising popularity of tattooing, that stereotype has been blown away, giving way to women making a name for themselves in the industry of tattooing. Popular artists like Kat Von D have created empires for themselves based on their tattooing and are giving a new way of thinking that women can have their place in a male-dominated industry.
Lock Haven artist Brittany Brown-Sines is one of the females in the area that has been trying to break that mold, recently opening her own tattoo shop on 212 N. Vesper St., Lock Haven. Pinch-N-Poke Tattoo Studio has been open since January of this year and Brown-Sines has been tattooing for five years now. Before owning her studio, she freelanced in the area.
"When I got out of the army, I got my first tattoo. I decided it was something I wanted to learn how to do," she said. "I love art and I love making people happy."
Article Photos
Shown is tattoo artist Brittany Brown-Sines, who recently opened her own tattoo studio, Pinch 'N' Poke Tattoo Studio, 212 N. Vesper St., Lock Haven.
Shown is a cover-up Brown-Sines performed on a client. She taught herself to tattoo through research, instructional materials and practice.
With determination, Brown-Sines researched the art of tattooing, purchasing reference books and instructional DVDs.
"I basically did an entire apprenticeship, but without another person," she said. She also utilized her friends, practicing with different designs.
Being a female, Brown-Sines wanted to project a strong businesswoman model, starting with the logo for her shop. Modeled after Rosie the Riveter, she said that describes the mantra that she has with her business and career.
"I think it's great that women are owning businesses and I am proud to be a woman business owner," she said. With a change of the hair color to represent her red-haired wife, the logo proudly shows a strong arm of a woman full of tattoos.
As an artist, Brown-Sines has found that her female clients also feel more comfortable being tattooed by another woman, something she is glad she can offer her customers.
"I don't have a strong male clientel, but woman do say they feel more comfortable being tattooed by another woman," she said.
With an influx of recycled images for tattoo inspiration found online, Brown-Sines likes to help her clients have a unique spin on something that may have been done before.
"A lot of people have copycat tattoos, so I try to make it unique and individual. For instance, someone says they want a skull, I ask them to get more specific, with colors, direction," Brown-Sines said.
Brown-Sines has tattooed many images, but finds that there's a story behind every tattoo.
"Mostly tattoos are a story, they are representations of moments in life. And I like listening to those stories," she said. She finds stories of parents supporting their children with tattoos, such as autism awareness.
As a business owner and artist, Brown-Sines makes herself aware of things that she could change, always listening to clients' concerns.
"I always want to make my place better," she said. She also wants to give customers what they ask for, noting that some artists change designs because they want to and she feels that some artists take advantage of the trust that clients have in their artists.
Brown-Sines has also seen a new clientel come out of the woodworks: an older generation.
"Older people have been getting work done, and not just little pieces. I think they think, 'Well, I've thought about this for a while.' And they go for it," she said.
She also uses the creativity to keep her mind off the physical restraints of tattooing; being hunched over for hours takes a toll on the tattooer's body. "It is physically exhausting, but it's also mentally exhausting. It's hard work to draw perfectly for hours at a time," she said.

This is not good.
Three hours of this season's X Factor auditions have officially passed, and beneath the piles of fluffy background, stock shots of people filing into concert halls and the usual tone-deaf morons, the talent pool has been decidedly thin.
Thursday night's episode continued toggling back and forth between the San Francisco and Providence, R.I. auditions. The hour-long show did feature a few highlights, namely a 13-year-old potential phenom, but if X Factor wants to reach last season's level of talent, brighter lights need to start stepping on that stage.
Johnny Maxwell, 16
Kicking off the show was Johnny, a Hispanic teenager with a backwards baseball cap and an "I can do anything" attitude. He took the risk of singing an original song and between the catchy chorus and some decent hip-hop verses, it was a solid audition. Simon was correct in saying that Johnny's rap skills were better than his singing voice, but the whole package was fun. L.A. Reid was singing along to the chorus by the end. Good luck in the next round, kid.
Jason Brock, 34
Leading the "well, we didn't expect that" category is this Jason Brock. He walks on stage in San Francisco, wearing an all black, gaudy suit and an over-gelled, black faux-hawk, is as flamboyant as humanly possibly (we are talking drag queen flamboyant), rambles on to the confused judges about his ideal stage setup and when Simon finally brings him back down to Earth, he breaks into a fantastic version of Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind." He actually has a very strong voice. The judges send him through with ease despite his over-the-top personality.
Carly Rose Sonenclar, 13
As X Factor usually does, the best act (by far) was saved for last. Carly, an awkward 13-year-old from Westchester, N.Y. was very articulate and mature in her pre-audition interviews. Then she hit the stage with Nina Simone's classic "I'm Feeling Good" and blew the judges away with a very pure, powerful voice. Her stage presence was great and she had the crowd going for the whole song. Britney called her a "little diva." If I know my reality shows, this girl will be around for a while. She is too young, too good and too nice not to be.
Lexa Berman, 22
Oh, Lexa. On the outside she looks like some who, how shall I put this, goes home with lots of single dollar bills in her pockets (and other places). Sure, she is good-looking, but she is also very over-confident, not likeable at all and the judges smell it on her as soon as she walks out — even more so than the bottle of perfume she likely bathed in. She starts singing, has a decent but nothing special voice and is sent on her way. Back to her day pole … err. .. job.
Patrick Ford, 20
When Britney Spears signed on to be a judge this season, we had to know there would be guys like this. Pat Ford, a crazed Britney super-fan brought flowers on stage for Britney, confessed his love to her and proceeded to sing a pretty terrible version of "Circus" by Britney. Then he wouldn't get off stage. Scary stuff.
But this is just my rambling. What did you think? Comment below.

Ex-LBO Lawyer Sees $30,000 Suit for Bankers, LeBron: Interview
As a private-equity lawyer at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, Duncan Quinn favored custom-tailored suits. His idea of a hobby was to open a Manhattan boutique in 2003.
He says he sold $2,000 in shirts the first day.
Four years later, the London-born Quinn quit finance to hawk the kind of suits he loved, those with Savile Row quality and a little sass.
Today his stores in New York and Miami serve a client list of more than 1,000 paying $4,000 to $30,000 a suit. Customers include hedge-fund managers, basketball star LeBron James, alternative rockers Green Day and actor Adrian Grenier.
Amid the hoopla of New York Fashion Week, Quinn remains more than a few stitches away from the fashionistas. He preaches that fashion can be fickle, while bespoke never lets you down. Clad in a $7,200 three-piece plaid suit he designed himself, Quinn outlined his style rules on a weathered bench outside his Spring Street store.
Cole: Do you dress differently now from your leveraged-buyout days?
Quinn: I was the guy who didn't dress down for dress-down Fridays and always abhorred tan-colored chinos and blue Oxford shirts that buttoned down at the collar. So I more or less wear the same clothing now as I did when I was closing private-equity deals. I like timeless elegance with a little mischief and rock n' roll thrown into the mix.
Cole: How many suits do you own?
Quinn: Too many, and yet never enough.
Hard Times
Cole: Your father was a fan of bespoke suits. What was the most important piece of advice he gave you about fashion?
Quinn: He was a hard man who grew up in hard times. An orange was a gift for the holidays you cherished. You walked miles to school with a hot baked potato in your pocket to keep your hands warm and so you had lunch.
If anything, he instilled in me that if you buy the good stuff with style it lasts, and it's better to do that than waste your money on cheap rubbish.
Cole: Why in the world should one pay $30,000 for a suit?
Quinn: Because they can? More seriously, the fabric is simply the best of the best. You could buy a $1 sandwich instead of that $50 truffle burger. The fact of the matter is that the $1 sandwich just won't move your soul the way the $50 truffle burger does.
Fabric of Kings
Cole: What is your $30,000 suit made of?
Quinn: It's made of a fabric called Guanashina, literally the choice of kings. Its three main components are kid pashmina, reserved for Mongolian royalty, a caliber of baby cashmere only obtained from the brushing of the soft under-fleece of 18-month-old goats bred only in inner Mongolia, and Guanaco, the yarn of choice for the coronation robes of Incan royalty.
Cole: What qualities must a suit have before you put it on?
Quinn: It has to be properly made, it has to fit its purpose, it has to have character, it has to be timeless and it has to fit me.
Cole: What is your starting point for design when say, a Wall Street trader comes to your shop and asks for a suit?
Quinn: Finding out who he is and what he wants the suit for. It could be to poke a finger at the guys on his desk, to hit up a particular establishment, or it could be for a particular event. Just as you use different weapons for different situations, you need different attire to achieve different goals.
Old Breitlings
Cole: You're wearing a three-piece, single-button plaid-cashmere-and-wool suit. Why and what does it say to someone looking at it?
Quinn: I enjoy things with character, and I like color. The cloth this suit is cut from is from Naples, and I guess reflects a rather more playful approach to life. On some level it's all about messages. You have to be confident to pull this suit off, and not be too concerned about standing out.
Cole: Your watch looks old.
Quinn: For some reason I'm drawn to old Breitlings. They went through a dodgy patch in the 1980s and 1990s, but I think they're somewhat back on track now.
Cole: I didn't smell any cologne on you. Can a well-dressed man do without wearing fragrance?
Quinn: You needn't wear an overt fragrance, and it's entirely up to you. For me, it's been Roger & Gallet's Eau de Gingembre for the past 15 years.
Cole: What's the most important part of your wardrobe? The suit, the shirt or the tie?
Quinn: The man.

Information Technology has been growing fast over the years. The industry has continued to provide IT professionals with excellent opportunities. This is why there is also an increasing number of people who choose to obtain IT certification.
Below are some of the most popular online Information Technology programs - they accept students from around the US:
Why Individuals Should Pursue an IT Certification
• Increased Competency
Having IT certification makes the individual stand out from the other candidates. This is because obtaining training and knowledge from a qualified institution shows that the candidate's skills are up to date with the dynamic trends in the field. There are constant developments and changes that can make previous certification or training unhelpful. The academies aim to provide professionals with the skills and knowledge they need to become more competent in the field.
• Higher Pay Rates
Companies generally provide higher salary rates to those who are certified over people who are not. This is because of their reliable skills and experience. Professionals with IT certifications are also proven to be more competent and serious in their field as they strive to learn more.
• Credibility
Professionals with IT certification often get more credibility from their employers and colleagues. Obtaining further training and education shows how much the professional wants to improve his or her skills and knowledge in the IT field. It also makes the individual more reliable when it comes to newly developed trends in the industry.
• Promotions
Professionals with IT certification have more chances of getting promoted. They have the necessary skills and requirements needed for higher positions. IT certification also improves a candidate's credibility to help employers in deciding who the best candidate is.
• Good career Opportunities
Professionals with IT certification increase their ability to land good positions in stable companies. There are large companies that only hire certified professionals for their business. Some organizations and government sectors also require their IT professionals to obtain certification before they hire them.
A+ Certification
A+ certification is commonly needed for professionals who work in the IT department. This is a great step for entry level IT professionals. It proves that the person has the ability and expertise to repair, build and upgrade computers.
The training deals with the basic and advanced technical aspects of motherboards, internal and external storage devices, wireless networking, peripherals and customer service. It also equips the professional in the Windows Operating Systems, BIOS and CMOS. After the training, the professional will earn the certification that needs to be renewed once every three years. In the past, A+ certification was valid for life. However, it should now be renewed every three years as there is continuous growth in the IT industry.
Career Path for A+ Certified Professionals
A+ certification is a good way for beginners to succeed in the IT field. This provides them with essential knowledge of the primary tasks that IT professionals perform. They can obtain entry level positions such as help desk technicians. These jobs may not provide a lucrative salary rate, but it is a good stepping stone. Professionals with A+ certifications and entry level jobs generally earn $46,000 annually according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Those who choose to become computer technicians can earn $10 to $15 per hour. Technical support representatives earn an average of $15 per hour. The salary and benefits will depend on the company's size and the professional's position.
Who are Eligible for CISSP Certification
IT professionals who work in the security field may obtain training for certification. However, the certification is difficult to obtain and may only be suitable for those with years of experience and practice in the field.
CISSP or Certified Information Systems Security Professional
The training provides professionals with knowledge and training about networks, systems and information security. Due to the high demand for online security in large companies and organizations, professionals with CISSP certification can usually find jobs easily. CISSP is among the most well-respected and popular security certifications in the field.
CISSP certification is relatively difficult to get, but it provides professionals with many advantages. Once a person is CISSP certified, he or she can have access to CISSP events and webinars given by ISC2. These are only for individuals with this certification. The professional is also able to obtain promotions and move up the corporate ladder with increased credibility and reliability. This provides a quick step from field work to higher management positions in the company.
CISSP Trends
IT security will be more in demand in the coming years. This is because of hackers who are also becoming more aggressive when it comes to breaching company security online. There are many cases that involve losing revenue and clients from hackers who expose vital information that a company must keep private. As a result, businesses rely on expert professionals to keep their companies safe and protected.
Those with CISSP certification generally earn lucrative salaries. Their pay ranges from $65,000 to $111,000 with an average of $80,000 per year according to PayScale.com. They commonly acquire higher level positions and are provided with competitive benefits such as insurance and vacations.

From the office of State Senator Donald McEachin:
Henrico – Senator A. Donald McEachin (D-Henrico) today assailed the remarks of his colleague Senator Frank Ruff in referring to Marketplace Virginia, the private insurance bipartisan plan to offer health care for low income Virginians, as a "tar baby."
Senator McEachin said, "For Senator Ruff to use an expression widely known as a racial slur was shocking, insensitive and extremely disappointing. Instead of contributing to the merits of this discussion, he resorts to old time racial epithets and dog whistles. However, every bit as dismaying is his lack of concern for the up to 400,000 low income working Virginians who would finally have the opportunity to access healthcare for themselves and their families. Instead of engaging and trying to find solutions, he has simply demonstrated his complete lack of concern for their very real needs.
"Moreover, Senator Ruff has been completely inaccurate about the Marketplace Virginia proposal. The plan contains a kill switch that will ensure that Virginia will not have to over pay and that the program's costs will not simply escalate. For him to ignore this critical piece either demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge of the legislation which is alarming or an intentional ignorance which is truly unacceptable.
"Senator Ruff owes Virginians an apology and, as importantly, a commitment to actually read the legislation, to speak the truth about what it contains and to engage in a serious, merit and fact based dialogue to improve the lives of Virginians, the very thing he was elected to do, instead of resorting to antiquated and offensive insults."

Could My Son Be Autisitc?
DS is 3.5 years old. He doesn't seem to understand fully everything that is said to him. His speech isn't clear. He has problems following certain directions, doesn't recognise letters or numbers but can count to 10 and say his ABC's. He hyper focuses on things and talks about them. While he is doing this, he seems to be in his own little world. He can't be redirected or change the subject can't be changed because he doesn't seem to hear when people talk to him until he stops his hyper focusing. Last month our ac stopped working due to a snake getting caught in it. He has been talking almost non stop about acs and what are in things. He also asks why over and over. If you say you don't know, he will ask you why you don't know. It gets very annoying . He rocks from side to side in his bed to go to sleep.
This is a sample of some of the things he does. Could he be autistic?
I would say to have him checked out by a Dr. There are things that you mentioned that could mean autism, or it could just be he has a busy mind. I would consult a Dr. Let us know how things go! =-)
Quoting TerriC:
I would say to have him checked out by a Dr. There are things that you mentioned that could mean autism, or it could just be he has a busy mind. I would consult a Dr. Let us know how things go! =-)
He could be, he could be speech delayed. I would talk to your ped.
If it makes you feel better my almost 4 year old also asks "why" non stop. It's just part of the age. He also has following directions that dont interest him, or interfere with what he more interested in. He's just recently started recognizing numbers, and it came out of the blue. One day nothing, the next day all the numbers through 10. And he still doesnt recognize most letters, even though he can say them all.
Does he rock at other times? I used to rock to fall asleep too, and sometimes still wag my foot.
My point is that some of it is normal and some of it COULD be normal, depending on the severity.
Having your child evaluated if you suspect something is NEVER a bad idea! :-) Trust yourself. Also your son could show symptoms for a few issues but you should talk to you Ped about all of them so that A) You don't worry as much and B) So that your sons problems can be addressed to make him feel more comfortable.
If they tell you there isn't much that can be done at this age, RUN, and get another opinion. too may times a mothers concerns are dismissed, when in reality, some help is available to children before they go to preschool. By the time preschool rolls around, and they havent had any help, it makes it more difficult.
I would have him checked out, even if its just to ease your mind. And if there is a problem, you can start working towards helping him. My nephew was the exact same way with what you described. Add anti-social on top of it all. He is now a very normal 9 year old.
My neice was checked for autism she had all the classis symptoms. They diagnosed her with sensory disorder and left autism out of it. Get your boy checked. Hope it goes in your favor.

• It has been suggested that the monokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF) (cachectin) is responsible for metabolic abnormalities frequently accompanying malignant neoplasms. The acute metabolic effects of TNF in patients with cancer were studied. Subcutaneous administration of recombinant human TNF led to a rise in the C-reactive protein level (4.4±1.2 mg/dL vs 11.6±1.8 mg/dL) and a reduction in the serum zinc level (12.9±0.8 μmol/L vs 7.3±0.8 μmol/L [79± 5 mg/dL vs 48±5 mg/dL]) (values are the mean±SEM). Forearm efflux of total amino acids more than doubled after intravenous TNF injection, principally because of increases in release of the gluconeogenic amino acids alanine and glutamine. Concomitantly, the arterial levels of alanine, glutamine, and total amino acids fell, indicating that TNF also stimulated the uptake of amino acids by other tissues. The observed amino acid pattern cannot be explained solely on the basis of measured changes in cortisol, glucagon, or insulin levels. These findings are discussed in relation to known alterations of amino acid metabolism in cancer-associated cachexia.

Day dress
Museum no. T.112 to B-1938
Given by Miss M. Eyre-Poppleton
The influence of masculine tailoring can be seen in the cuffs and bodice revers of this woman's afternoon dress. The overall effect is quite severe, with all the decoration based on the application of a darker blue silk. Fashion is moving away from the fussier trimmings of the early 1870s. This garment is well made, with cleanly cut and finished appliqué and seams, indicating the work of a professional dressmaker.

Tuatha Dea Returns
Tuatha Dea is pure primal energy with a Celtic twist. The bands eclectic sound blends the tribal vibe of primitive drums with conventional and non conventional instruments such as guitar, bass, modern and Native American flutes as well as a myriad of vocal styles to create a truly unique sound. Born of a family drum circle, the group delivers an authentic tribal and clannish feel that not only draws the audience into the music but into the moment and family as well. Their rhythmic groove naturally inspires audience participation which has become a staple of their performances. From the beginning the band has embraced its Celtic heritage and meshed the traditional music of Scotland, Ireland and Great Britain with the pulse-pounding heartbeat of the drums to produce unique versions of old favorites like "Danny Boy", "Whiskey In A Jar", "Loch Lomond" and others. The group's eclectic nature also incorporates a rock, blues, new age and even punk edge into their repertoire of material to further widen their appeal. Original music such as the Celtic mythology of their namesake song "Tuatha de Danaan" and "Pipers Pay" as well as mainstream compositions such as "The Sky Is Falling" and "Granny's Bedtime Tonic" marks Tuatha Dea as a creative force. Feel the music. Embrace the rhythm. Experience the family of Tuatha Dea.
Tuatha Dea is a Gaelic phrase adopted from the Celtic mythology of the Tuatha de Danaan whose literary history originates in Ireland and Great Britain. The name "Tuatha Dea" literally translates into "Children of The Gods". The band's Celtic influence stems directly from this historical clan which lived and ruled for a period in ancient Ireland and who were later destined to become the stuff of legend and basis of Celtic mythology. Those who dwelt beneath the burrows. The Children of The Gods!!

So here goes... Day one. I'm 41, 1.63m tall and weigh 110kg. Want to get down to 55kg.
Haven't had a good start to the day. Developed serious toothache last night. Woke up with left side of my face throbbing. Ugh!! Nooooo!!! Haven't had any problems with teeth for years. See my dentist every six months. WTF??
So not feeling inclined to eat anything. Guess I just might kick this off fasting? Is that a problem?
