Picks and Pans Main: Song
Everybody Knows
PJ's fourth full-length album invites a game of Name That Influence. The pseudo-mystical leanings of "Sometimes," with its rain and thunder effects, suggest the Doors' creepy classic "Riders on the Storm." The garage-band crunch of "Smile" conjures up Neil Young's "Mirror Ball," and slabs of guitar on "Hail, Hail" suggest punk icons from the Ramones to the Clash. It testifies to PJ's gifts as grunge's most melodic artisans that the Seattle icons can touch these influences while still sounding fresh and vibrant. Mike McCready's buzzing guitar and Eddie Vedder's anguished vocals provide a one-two punch reminiscent of Jagger and Richards in their heyday. True, there are some typically tormented PJ moments—like Vedder's self-indulgent, spoken intro to "I'm Open" (A man lies in his bed in a room with no door/ He waits, hoping for a presence, something, anything, to enter). But his pensive rendering of the ballad "Off He Goes" recalls recent Springsteen. In this tale of an encounter with a spectral figure, Vedder, reluctant pop star, could be examining his own life: "I wonder 'bout his insides/ It's like his thoughts are too big for his size." The quiet power of the song reflects a maturity that secures Pearl Jam among rock's elite. (Epic)
The title of Aaliyah's platinum '94 first album, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, suggested the arrival of an ingenue who was 15-going-on-twice-that. But all she did to back it up was coo blankly and strike a street-tough cover pose. Now, Aaliyah's mom and dad must be reeling from hearing their 17-year-old smolder so convincingly on "If Your Girl Only Knew," the hot first single.
At least she's keeping good company. While R. Kelly produced Aaliyah's debut with a one-dimensional musical vision, One in a Million's production posse (which includes Jermaine Dupri and Timbaland) dips into a languid and seductive trip hop on the title track; then stutters jungle rhythm on "Beats 4 da Streets" and "Heartbroken." The young star delivers one subtle, sensuous performance after another. In an R&B world overloaded with teen queens, it's nice to see Aaliyah living up to both her album titles. (Black-ground/ Atlantic)
Travis Tritt
Tritt jeopardizes his rough-and-tumble image with several flashes of sentimentality on his sixth studio album. The tune least like the old "Here's a Quarter..." Tritt is "Helping Me Get Over You," a positively New Age Sensitive Guy song that he turns into a sweet-toned duet with co-composer Lari White. Tritt also agonizes through the romantic "Did You Fall Far Enough" that he wrote with Troy Seals. More characteristic material comes in a raucous duet with Marty Stuart, "Double Trouble," and in "Back Up Against the Wall."
The slight softening might stem from Tritt's coproducing with mainstream pop manipulator Don Was, who has produced more crossovers than Michael Jordan. The result is a bright-sounding album full of effective, never jarring, changes of pace. Tritt and Was also rounded up a model studio band, including pedal steel player Robby Turner, drummer Kenny Aronoff, keyboard mainstay Benmont Tench and the peerless fiddler Mark O'Connor. This is an enviable example of a rising star who isn't too arrogant to vary his approach when a good idea presents itself. (Warner Bros.)
Trisha Yearwood
Wlile not as satisfying as last year's Thinkin' About You, Year-wood's latest batch of sass and sentiment is still a smooth brew. Year-wood continues to shine brightest on ballads. But she is almost as illuminating on the rockers. She wails through the title song (one of the album's strongest) with such conviction that she could be channeling Wynonna. Ballad standouts include "I Need You," about a longtime couple who have drifted apart emotionally, and "Maybe It's Love," featuring the ubiquitous Vince Gill on harmony. Their voices, two of the most refined in country, blend beautifully. Often compared to Linda Ronstadt, one of her idols, for her vocal luster, Yearwood should follow Ronstadt's example and tackle pop standards. But until she goes torchin', her twangin' provides reason enough to cheer. (MCA Nashville)

Playing catch up
Published: Mar 12, 2010
This is a problem that happens everywhere but if you look at the Singapore and Australia government, they've done some work on it. In Indonesia, this is starting to happen and some universities here are starting to offer those types of courses, but because it's only happened over the past three or four years, it will take time for us to get good talent that's also experienced. I was to be honest, that is going to be the greatest driver of logistics and supply chain changes in this country over the coming years. As education levels in this area grow and you see people coming into Indonesia with the capability to deliver it across the entirety of the workforce, you'll see a significant benefit in the way logistics and supply chains are operated here.
Indonesia - The supply chain industry in Indonesia is rapidly developing, but there are still many challenges standing in the way of it achieving the standards its neighbours enjoy, says Kevin Burrell, president director of CEVA Logistics in Indonesia. We find out exactly what it's like to operate your supply chain in the land with over 17,000 islands in this Q&A.
Where does the Indonesian supply chain industry stand compared to the rest of Asia?
If you look at the supply chain of Indonesia, it's actually a rapidly developing supply chain. It's come from so far behind some of the more modern logistics and supply chain countries like China, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.
It's fair to say that if you take a look at some of the components of the industry, some of the infrastructural aspects have key challenges to them. Road infrastructure is and will continue to be a key challenge in Indonesia in that the road infrastructure is developed for a volume of traffic that is far lower than it is currently operating. And because of that the knock on effects on logistics and transportation and the congestion levels can be quite a challenge.
How has congested roads affected supply chains in Indonesia?
Because of the relative uncertainty in the ability to move products from one location to another location in an efficient manner, there has been the need to put in buffer inventory in and around Indonesia.
If you look at large corporations, some of them have as many as 80-90 warehouses that sit throughout the number of the islands in Indonesia. Primarily because they need to have that supply certainty.
Higher inventory levels means you can operate more efficient transportation networks, so you can move larger volumes of goods into the warehouse networks, but it does increase supply chain costs.
Interestingly however, there is still a focus around logistics costs as opposed to supply chain costs in Indonesia. The more developed companies or conglomerates have a very good understanding of supply chain costs and inventory costs, how that affects the balancesheet of an organization and how they should address that by looking at the most efficient overall supply chain; but there still tends to be a focus on logistics costs and inventory separately in Indonesia.
There is a move to understand true supply chain cost, but it certainly isn't all the way there yet.
What has been done to ease congestion on the roads?
The Indonesian government has provided fuel subsidy to a number of the transport operators and the mass populace, but the fuel subsidy has a knock on effect on the logistics industry in Indonesia.
Whilst it enables relatively low-cost transport, it also resulted, unfortunately, in more old vehicles that have very poor maintenance being used for transport because of the fact that old vehicles are capable to be operated at very low cost. This then affects the quality driven through the logistics industry.
Another problem is rail: The rail has been developed and will continue to be developed but it still provides relatively poor service in comparison to road in relation to the transit time. At the moment, it still isn't a good cost alternative. Again, the suggestion is if the fuel subsidy is removed, it may actually provide a good alternative to road.
Apart from transportation, what are some of the key challenges for supply chains operating in Indonesia today?
One of it is communications. The ability to provide a logistics or supply chain process in Indonesia is limited by the ability to communicate. For example, organisations like ourselves tend to enjoy the benefits of including regional data centres so that we can leverage the scale of our total network into a systems portfolio which we can then [drill] down into the country.
Indonesia has certain challenges in that regard because of the fact that the local communications network sometimes fails. We would, for example, probably need to put in four or five backup lines to ensure that we provide that level of communication capability to ensure our services are truly provided.
A second challenge is the lack of having good second tier suppliers providing good quality warehousing and at the moment, sad to say, a number of international players that provide this global warehousing across the world actually aren't present here.
We currently have to deal with a number of local landlords, which isn't a major concern, but we do not have the international standards developed by those large-scale international companies. In this case, the availability to provide good quality warehousing doesn't really exist and our approach is that we have to go and build warehouses to our specification instead of working with good international providers or local providers who can provide that type of quality of services.
Finally, supply chains are driven by the quality of the people that operate within those industries. And it's fair to say that if you look at the Indonesian education system, there has been a lack of focus around the supply chain industry.
This is a problem that happens everywhere but if you look at the Singapore and Australia government, they've done some work on it. In Indonesia, this is starting to happen and some universities here are starting to offer those types of courses, but because it's only happened over the past three or four years, it will take time for us to get good talent that's also experienced.

Mayor Denis Coderre has caught wind of more spikes to keep homeless people away from businesses and he says the city will not stop until they're all gone.
At least two more businesses with different versions of anti-homeless spikes have been discovered since the first ones spotted outside Archambault caused uproar last week.
The businesses acted fast to remove the spikes with pressure from the city and citizens.
But Mayor Coderre says the city will do an inventory to find out where the spikes are located across the city, and get them removed.
"This is not the kind of society that I want to live in. I understand that some people think this is the best way, but no it's not, there's other ways to take care of situations and there's no such thing as two classes of citizens."
Coderre says he has a right to get the spikes removed on behalf of public security.
But, he says, if the city needs to put in place a bylaw it will do it.
The opposition is asking Coderre not to wait and to ban the spikes now.

Girard edges Fort LeBoeuf in 10 innings
GIRARD -- Josh Schaaf scored on a passed ball with two outs in the top of the 10th inning, and that was enough to give Girard a 1-0 non-region win over Fort LeBoeuf.
the YellowJackets (2-8) a non-region win over the Bison (3-6).
The game featured outstanding starting pitching from both teams, as Girard's Brenden Kohan allowed just two hits and did not walk a batter while striking out 11 in nine scoreless innings. Fort LeBoeuf's Josh Greggs, meanwhile, allowed only five hits and no walks while striking out 10.
Greggs had both hits for the Bison (3-6), while Kohan had two hits for the YellowJackets (2-8).
Schaaf led off the top of the 10th for Girard by getting hit by a pitch, then moved to second on a sacrifice bunt before advancing to third on a wild pitch and scoring on a passed ball.

I believe that without civilian enthusiasts as a testing bed/fallback market, innovation in the small arms industry would be severely hampered, especially with regard to AR15/M16/M4 accessories. Companies like LaRue and Magpul have developed superb products which see wide military use but civilian sales are their bread and butter, without the civilian modern sporting rifle market, such companies would be in serious trouble. Thus, those who seek to ban modern sporting rifles threaten our military innovation and readiness.

Adjust Your W-4 Withholdings
|Email Print
This is a Angel's Advocate post.
Over two years ago, one of the first Devil's Advocate posts I wrote was that you shouldn't adjust with your payroll deductions. Back then, as it is now, conventional personal finance advice told you to adjust your withholding so that you don't have too much tax withheld from your paycheck.
How do you adjust your withholdings? You adjust your withholding by submitting a W-4 to your company's HR or payroll department with an updated number of exemptions. To determine how many exemptions you should put down, I would use the IRS Withholding Calculator because recent laws have made numerous "rules of thumb" obsolete.
Now that you know how, let's talk about why!
Pay Off Debt
The immediate benefit of adjusting your withholding is that you'll have more money in your paycheck. If you're in debt, this new found money can give you a much needed boost in catching up and paying off that debt faster than you planned.
For example, if you have $10,000 in credit card debt at 17.50% APR, it would take you 5 years if you paid $302 a month towards the debt (with no other spending). If you were to increase that monthly payment by $40, you would be done in 4 years. If you were to increase it by $108, you cut it down to 3 years. Not only that, but by increasing your payment, you pay less overall interest over the life of the debt. So $40 a month doesn't seem like a lot but if you put it towards your debts, it can have a fantastic effect.
Save the Difference
If you don't have debt, treat the added cash as a bonus each month. You can take that cash and invest or save it. If you have savings goals you hope to accomplish, such as saving towards 529 plans or an emergency fund, then this extra cash can get you there faster than you expect. You can lock in some of the best CD rates with investments as small as $1 nowadays, which is a great way to earn a slightly better interest rate with zero capital risk. It might not seem like a lot but every little bit counts, especially nowadays.
Taxes Are Enough!
Finally, this is a philosophical reason but paying taxes is enough. I'm all for paying my way and fulfilling my obligations, I recognizes taxes are a necessary evil and that they help pay for the freedoms and liberties I enjoy, but I don't really want to give the government an interest free loan too!
Do you adjust your withholdings? If so, why?{ 20 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

From Academy Award®-nominated director Lasse Hallström (2000, The Cider House Rules) comes HACHI: A DOGS TALE, a film based on one of the most treasured and heartwarming true stories ever told. Golden Globe winner Richard Gere (2002, Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, Chicago) stars as Professor Parker Wilson, a distinguished scholar who discovers a lost Akita puppy on his way home from work. Despite initial objections from Wilsons wife, Cate (Academy Award® nominee Joan Allen 2000, Best Actress, The Contender), Hachi endears himself into the Wilson family and grows to be Parker's loyal companion. As their bond grows deeper, a beautiful relationship unfolds embodying the true spirit of family and loyalty, while inspiring the hearts of an entire town.

Yahoo Search Marketing Transition To Microsoft adCenter Complete
It has taken a long time for Yahoo to completely outsource their search engine and marketing efforts from their in-house team to Microsoft's Bing team. Nevertheless, it is now learned that the transition is complete. Moving on, all the search results as well as the associated advertisements on the Yahoo portal and partner websites will be handled by Microsoft. An email was sent to Yahoo advertisers announcing them of this development.
The partnership brings a significant level of benefit to both the companies. The total search engine share of Bing and Yahoo combined in the US is close to 30% and this partnership will bring better competition from advertisers and consequently higher ad dollars.
What does this mean to the existing Yahoo advertisers? The company has noted that the search marketing solutions page will be accessible for the next five months during which the advertisers are expected to effect a complete transition to the Microsoft adCenter. Advertisers may no longer use the Yahoo interface to run campaigns.
Now Buy Microsoft Office 2011 For Mac – Software Officially Launches
We always knew this was coming and after Microsoft announced last week that an announcement was due on Tuesday, it was more or less confirmed that the new Microsoft Office 2011 productivity suite for Mac was releasing this week. Now it has.
The new Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac is now available for public consumption and brings with it, all the expected suite of applications like Word, Excel and Powerpoint. And perhaps in what should come as a huge relief, Microsoft has finally replaced Entourage with Outlook in the latest release.
A single license of the Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac software should cost Home and Student users between $109.99 and $149.99. On the other hand, for business users, this application should cost higher between $174.99 and $279.99.
Of course, the price is going to be cheaper if you are checking it out from third party retailers like Amazon.
Users See "Product Activation Failed" Message When Activating Windows Live On WP7
Looks like the mobile platform makers need to take a leaf out of the dotcom biggies and launch all their final releases with a 'beta' tag attached. Such is the number of bugs that have been observed with almost all the major smartphone releases of late including iOS 4, Android 2.2, etc. Now, after we reported about several users seeing their XBox Live Extras crash on their newly purchased Windows Phone 7 handsets comes the news about yet another significant error. Users trying to associate their Windows Live account with their WP7 handset are unable to do so and are instead shown a message that reads, "Product Activation Failed".
Now if you are in the UK, that's double whammy because the Microsoft UK Support does not work on weekends and so users are left until support reopens on Monday to take their concerns.
Get Cheaper Zune Pass Subscription With New Annual Contract
Microsoft has introduced a new 12 month subscription plan for Zune Pass that effectively brings down the overall monthly cost that subscribers pay for the service. What more, with this new subscription plan, Microsoft now offers a better deal for music lovers with Zune Pass than Pandora does with their own offering.
Let's look into it now. Until now, Microsoft Zune Pass was available at two price points – the $14.99 plan for 1 month subscription and the $44.97 plan for a 3 month subscription. Each of these plans provides unlimited music downloads with the ability to keep 10 songs for yourselves for each month of subscription. Assuming the price per song to be $0.99, these plans will give you $120 worth of songs in a year where the total cost would come out to be close to $180. That makes the annual cost of Zune Pass subscription alone $60.
The new annual subscription offer is provided at $149.90. With the 10 songs per month offer still holding true, the subscription cost now stands at a mere $30 a year when Pandora still costs the user $36 a year.
What do you think? Does this make the Zune Pass subscription all the more attractive?
Bugs : XBox Live Extras Crashing On HTC Windows Phone 7 Handsets & More
As you know, the Windows Phone 7 handsets from manufactures like HTC and Samsung launched this week in several countries in Europe and Australasia. Now that the customers have started exploring the new device, there appear to be a number of complaints from users who have reported that the XBox Live Extras; a free download on WP7 phones appears to be crashing on launch. The problem is not restricted to any one particular handset but to almost all the HTC handsets – the Trophy, HD7 and 7 Mozart.
This is not the only problem that users have been experiencing with their new WP7 handsets however. There are two other popularly discussed issues. One is with game loading where a number of users have noticed an extraordinarily long load time on their new phones. Also, a select number of users are reporting inaccurate reporting of the GPS location on their handsets. This is on phones other than HTC as well which means the problem could well be software based.
Are you seeing any of these issues?
Microsoft Games For Windows Marketplace Launches November 15
Come November 15, Microsoft will be launching a Games marketplace for Windows users to browse and download gaming applications to their computers. The marketplace is expected to offer a good line-up of PC games that will offer desktop gamers a great place to browse and download games from.
The Games for Windows Marketplace is expected to only hold close to a 100 games at launch, but expect the numbers to grow rapidly as the exposure and target market that developers can gain through such a marketplace can be overwhelming. Microsoft is also expected to come up with features like 'Deal of the Week' and 'Featured games',etc.
To buy a game, users will need to sign in using a Windows Live ID, Zune tag or Xbox Live gamertag. The payment can be made either using a credit card or Microsoft Points. Here is a partial list of the games that will be available on the Games for Windows marketplace at launch.
– "Fable: The Lost Chapters"
– "Grand Theft Auto III"
– "Lego Universe"
– "CarneyVale"
– "Dead Rising 2?
– "Lost Planet 2?
– "Max Payne"

Microsoft – Second Life Acquisition Rumors Revive
Early this month, there was a running speculation that Microsoft may have acquired Linden Lab, the company that is behind the popular virtual reality game, Second Life. Word was that Redmond may have either actually acquired the whole company or is at least in the final stages of talks before acquisition. The rumor mills also indicated a possible inclusion of the popular game on Xbox Live, Microsoft's online gaming network.
Now, word is out that the Founder of Linden Lab, Philip Rosedale is quitting his CEO post – just four months after he started his stint. In a blog post announcing his decision, Rosedale said,
"After about four months as interim CEO, working closely with Bob Komin, the management team, and the board, we've decided we are ready to start the search for a new CEO. I'll be leaving day-to-day management of the company and continuing in my role on the board, including helping in the search to find a great CEO. I will also be continuing my work with my new company, LoveMachine."
The announcement has revived the speculations that Linden Lab is prepping itself up for news about getting acquired by Microsoft. This is just speculation, but it would be wonderful news for the gamers should this turn out to be true.
New Xbox.com Website Launches
Microsoft will be launching a new-look Xbox.com website sometime now. The new site will bring a number of new features besides opening up support for Xbox Live to nine new countries where the service is launching next month. These countries include Russia, Poland, South Africa, Greece, Czech Republic, Hungary, Brazil, Colombia, and Chile.
The new features as described by Major Nelson include
- Browser based Avatar editor: Edit your avatar and preview avatar items before purchase
- Combined views for messages, friend and game requests
- Improved notification of your account subscription
- Leverage Family Reports to understand what your family is doing and how they are using LIVE
- Play web games with your Xbox LIVE friends on the web or on Windows Phone 7
- Marketplace: More powerful search and more intuitive ways to browse and filter
The new website is set to go live starting 09:00 AM GMT. That's almost here.
New Microsoft Office 365 Beta Website Launches
Following what we had heard earlier, Microsoft has launched a new website for the cloud version of their popular Office productivity suite. Announcing the launch of the new beta version of the office365.com website, the company has said that the new service will provide the "best of everything we know about productivity, all in a single cloud service" and that this will let people "focus on their business, while we and our partners take care of the technology".
The announcement however did not make a note of the exact launch date of the new Office365 service but what we know is that the product will launch early next year in as many as 40 countries worldwide. As of now, users can sign up for beta testing the service besides clicking on the various links to learn more about what is on offer.
Free One Month Zune Subscription With Windows Phone 7 Purchase On AT&T
The Windows Phone 7 comes integrated with Zune which is a premium service that is available at a price of $14.99 a month. Now a free subscription to this paid service appears to be the perfect bait for companies to lure customers into buying handsets running Windows Phone 7. After Microsoft announced a 3 month free Zune pass subscription to users who shall pre-order a Windows Phone 7 handset, AT&T has now announced an additional one month of free Zune subscription. While the Microsoft offer is only valid on customers who pre-order a phone unit, the AT&T offer shall be valid on all Windows Phone 7 handsets purchased before the end of this year.
It looks like a perfect bait at least from the perspective of Microsoft. A good number of users who get access to this free service are likely to turn into long term Zune customers and a comprehensive free trial of Zune is a perfect way to lure these customers. What do you think?

Road crews to pave road with recycled tires
Here's something new to look for when you hit the road.
Benton County road crews will be working on a new paving project that will feature recycled tire rubber.
Cindy Jones, with the Benton County Roads Department said a Oklahoma company will finely grind the old tires that people drop off or road crews pick up.
The materials go into the oil used to make asphalt.
It will help the environment and the department's budget.
Jones said roads paved with the mixture that includes the tire rubber requires less maintenance.
"With the tire rubber in it, the asphalt will stay black longer," said Jones. "With that material the road will stay more flexible."
"We'll have to do less maintenance because it won't crack as bad," said Jones.

Marissa Jaret Winokur, host of the new weight loss dance show Dance Your Ass Off, gained baby weight while awaiting the birth of her son Zev – and she wasn't even pregnant.
A survivor of cervical cancer, Winokur, 36, had her now-11-month-old son with husband Judah Miller through a surrogate and says she put on 25 pounds during and after the pregnancy. "[It was] total stress," says the actress, who won a Tony in 2003 for the musical Hairspray. "You don't actually have to carry the baby to gain weight."
Before her son's birth, Winokur got intense exercise while competing on Dancing with the Stars last spring. "During Dancing, I was working out all the time." But the strain of motherhood soon took its toll. "When I wasn't working, if I had an hour [and] my husband wasn't home from work yet, I'd be like, 'Oh, I'm gonna run on the treadmill.' [But sometimes] you have an hour and the last thing you wanna do is get on a treadmill."
Winokur is back on her fitness routine, thanks to classes at Studio City's Cardio Barre. Ironically, though she considers her new show a combination between The Biggest Loser and Dancing (it premieres on Oxygen June 29th), it wasn't much help to her. "I hosted the whole season and didn't lose a pound. I'm like, 'Oh my God, this is insane,' " she says.

Piccadilly Gardens was transformed into a winter wonderland as ice sculptors carved a festive forest in the city centre.
The chainsaw and chisel-wielding artists from Glacial Art Ice Sculptors crafted 14 seasonal creations, including a reindeer, polar bear, and other frozen wildlife.
Shoppers and city centre visitors got the chance to see the award-winning sculptors create frozen art before their eyes.
And adults and kids got a chance to carve their own glacial work.
The Piccadilly Ice Festival was part of a series of Christmas-themed events in the city centre, including the Christmas Markets and the Spinningfields Ice Rink.
Among the sculptors was London-based Mark Coreth who wowed visitors in Piccadilly Gardens last year with a life-sized ice model of a polar bear – weighing in at 10 tonnes.
City centre spokesman Pat Karney said the event had been a great addition to the city's festive family offering.
He said: "It was great to see so many kids and families enjoying themselves in the city centre. It was a magical experience for the kids who came into town and they loved what was a unique event."

Can I ask why you're trying to cut protein shakes and what you are trying to accomplish by eating sausage instead?
3 sausages is more like a meal than a snack...
Loads of calories in sauseges, read how much on the packet. Keep on taking the protein shakes, why would you want to give up that for saseges. You have to eat healthy foods and watch the salt and sugar content in your food.
Last edited by IanGHenderson; 06-16-2011 at 08:30 AM.
The OP did say organic sausages. So, I guess it depends on what's in them. I regularly eat organic chicken sausages that have 4 or fewer ingredients on the label and aren't packed with sodium.
So my take on the sausage question is... it depends. OP, could you please tell us more about what's in your sausages, including how much fat and sodium?

Its really easy to make your own "sausage" patties from any ground meat too. Sage, salt and red & black pepper gives you that classic breakfast sausage flavor. Then you don't have to eat packaged processed food.

personally, sausage sounds way more appetizing than a protein shake!
The devil is in the details. Clean, whole-hog, moderate sodium sausage = good. Processed, high sodium sausages with lots of crap in them = not so much.

Thanks for the feed back i was getting organic sauage but i did cut it out and went back to ON all natural 100% whey. I was just giving it a shot, see the problem is that i'm confused with sticking to the right cals not to lose muscle and i'm thinking about going 100 to 150 on carbs on workout days. i'm 5'7 and down to 156 pounds i need to take in like 2200 cals a day and they say to take in 250 on carbs which i will never go higher then 150 on carbs.

My Grandmother always hammered the "5-Colors on your plate" thing into us---and I'm so grateful <3
I've just read this article (some of the advice I disagree with, but a lot of it is sound).
The bit that interested me most was the use of food sayings from around the world. I particularly liked:
"To say "I'm hungry" in French you say "J'ai faim" ("I have hunger") and when you are finished, you do not say that you are full, but "Je n'ai plus faim" ("I have no more hunger"). That is a completely different way of thinking about satiety. So: ask yourself not, "Am I full?" but, "Is my hunger gone?" That moment will arrive several bites sooner."
Pre PB, I for one would eat until bursting point, so this would have been good advice for me!
What are your favourite food sayings and why?
My Grandmother always hammered the "5-Colors on your plate" thing into us---and I'm so grateful <3
- bananas are not food, they are sweets.
- No meat? (with a frown on face).
Both heard during my stints in West Africa.
Two mantras I had all during my weight loss came from my BIL...
"Eat to live, don't live to eat."
"Food is fuel."
You are what you eat
"we are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are" -- adelle davis
"If the divine creator has taken pains to give us delicious and exquisite things to eat, the least we can do is prepare them well and serve them with ceremony."
"never eat more than you can lift." --miss piggy
HANDS OFF MY BACON :: my primal journal
Here's an ironic one I heard in Spain: "Dame pan y llámame tonto," meaning "give me bread and call me stupid" (meaning, essentially, as long as I'm fed, I don't care). But from a paleo/primal perspective, you could totally interpret it literally as "bread's for idiots!"
"To shed all the illusory rights & hesitations of history demands the economy of some legendary Stone Age--shamans not priests, bards not lords, hunters not police, gatherers of paleolithic laziness, gentle as blood, going naked for a sign or painted as birds, poised on the wave of explicit presence, the clockless nowever." --Hakim Bey, TAZ

I realized while at a luncheon watching everyone scarf chips and dip and bread and butter, that I was eating 300-600 calories less by not partaking. That is when the connection to how much less I am eating really hit home.

On March 12, 2007 New Mexico Governor Bill Richards signed Senate Bill 10 to enact a statewide ban on cockfighting, which goes into effect on July 1, 2007.
"Senate Bill 10 is fair and it is humane," said Governor Richardson. "I am proud that New Mexico will now move beyond cockfighting and join the 48 other states that have already banned this outdated practice."
New Mexico is the 49th state to pass a law that makes cockfighting illegal on the grounds of extreme cruelty to animals. Louisiana is left as the lone state to allow the practice, in which two fighting cocks (roosters) are trained to severely injure and/or kill one another, and wagers are made on the outcome.
Under the law, those found guilty of participating in cockfighting can be charged with a petty-misdemeanor on a first conviction and a misdemeanor on a second conviction. A fourth-degree felony will be charged on any conviction thereon. If found guilty, penalties under the new law may range from a court ordered participation in an animal cruelty prevention program to psychological treatment for extreme cases.
The bill was sponsored by the Senator Mary Jane Garcia, the Animal Protection Voters of New Mexico and the New Mexico Catholic Conference of Bishops.

Try ammodirect.com 1000 rounds of magtech fmj for 255.00 or 1000 rounds of reloaded for 150 to 175 dollars, I haven't tried the 38 reloads yet but my order will be here in about a week and I'll post a report.

OK here's a dumb question - what does LFP stand for? I'll be very interested in your report. By the way, what are ammo direct's shipping charges like?

Check www.mastercast.net. I'm well through my fifth thousand rounds of their .38sp reloads of various configurations. Prompt service, excellent product, very reasonable pricing. Especially if you send them your brass for reloading. I send them a thousand empties via USPS Priority Mail for eight dollars and change. Any other way I know of costs more than twenty.

There really isn't such an animal as cheap ammo anymore. There are some places which are cheaper than others but you really can't call it cheap. The Outdoor Marksman (http://east.outdoormarksman.com/index.php?cPath=65_1_13) has some good deals but they don't carry as much .38 Special as they used to. some of their prices, like on the big name Factory rounds have gone up a lot lately but there are still some fair deals.
There are a lot of online dealers, just look around a bit and you will find them.
Bestshot Ammo (http://www.bulkammo.com/)
Ammo To Go (http://ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/index.php?cName=pistol-ammo)
AmmoMan (http://www.ammoman.com/index.htm)
Natchez (http://natchezss.com/ammo.cfm?category=3)
Grorgia Arms (http://www.georgia-arms.com/index.asp)
That should give you a start.... Good luck (give reloading a thought if you want really cheap ammo that is better than the Factory stuff)
March 30, 2008, 09:43 PM
3.1 grains of red dot and a 158 grain RNFP.
You got to take up reloading for cheap ammo.
March 30, 2008, 09:54 PM
158gr +P LSWCHP isn't goof ro SD ammo - but it DOES duplicate very well the traditional FBI load ballistics as well as Buffalo Bore's "Standard Pressure"
158 gr SD loading. Order 200 rds, costs after shipping are $ 11/50 rds - more you order, cost goes down further.
If you you just want some cash-and-carry plinking stuff, best price I've seen is Monarch in Academy for $ 13/box of 50 of 158gr JHP standard pressure ammo. Thats good ammo - both in 9mm and .38 spl have shot hundreds of rounds with no problems.
evan price
March 30, 2008, 10:04 PM
I reload my own for $3.50 per box. I advise you do the same. The cheapest I've seen it the past 60 days is $9.99 per box/50 and that was 'clearance' ammo at a big box store.
March 30, 2008, 11:34 PM
Ammodirect is charging me about $25 to ship by UPS 1000 rounds of .44 Special from their Memphis area factory to Eastern Iowa....about 600 miles. This is in answer to your question about shipping charges.

The Inside Story: A Tragic End
Houston's Final Days Were Filled with Music, Parties and Erratic Behavior
Sadly, just three days later, Houston would make headlines again. On the afternoon of Feb. 11, a member of the singer's entourage discovered her unconscious in a bathtub in her room on the fourth floor of the hotel. Hotel security called 911. "When the paramedics got there, it was clear that she had been gone for a while," says a source. As Houston's brother Gary and sister-in-law Pat waited helplessly in the room, the paramedics spent about 10 minutes trying to resuscitate the star, who showed no visible signs of trauma. At 3:55 p.m., the 48-year-old was pronounced dead. "Prescription medication was recovered from the scene, but it was not a large amount," says L.A. Coroner Assistant Chief Ed Winter. "There were a few bottles but nothing alarming." Results of toxicology tests will take six to eight weeks.
It was a tragic ending for a woman who once had it all. With staggering success in the music and movie worlds, Houston, a six-time Grammy winner, "opened doors and provided a blueprint for all of us," Beyoncé said in a statement. "She is our queen." But a longtime drug addiction-Houston had admitted to using marijuana and rock cocaine and checked into rehab last spring-took its toll on the singer. Her 2009 comeback album failed to make a splash, her voice screeched on her 2010 tour (some audience members demanded refunds), and she was becoming more famous for her erratic behavior than for her music. "Whitney has been so troubled and so addicted for so long that we never knew which girl we would see," a music source tells PEOPLE.
Still, the news of her death shocked those close to her. Houston's mother, Cissy, 78, "feels so lost and is in disbelief," says a Whitney pal. And the loss shattered her only child, Bobbi Kristina, 18, who was spotted screaming in the hotel lobby, "What's wrong with her? What's wrong with her?" while the paramedics were upstairs. Later that night, even before Houston's body was removed from the room, Bobbi Kristina (known as Krissy; her father is Houston's ex-husband Bobby Brown, 43) was rushed to nearby Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was sedated and kept overnight. "She was treated for stress," says a family source. "She is obviously devastated." On Feb. 12 she sought medical attention again. "Her mother was her world," says a Houston pal. "No one can console her."
On the evening of Houston's death, as detectives investigated in room 434, a surreal scene formed in and around the hotel: Outside, fans gathered and began to sing Houston's hits. Inside the hotel's ballroom, celebrities began arriving for the Recording Academy and Clive Davis's pre-Grammy gala, which Houston had been set to attend. Davis had been guiding Houston's career since 1983, and, "she was really excited for all of the Grammy festivities and for Clive's event," says the pal. "That's always her chance to shine and be the regal queen that she is." In the ballroom some glammed-up partygoers-who had been expecting a night filled with dinner and performances that paid homage to Diana Ross-laughed and smiled, while others exchanged hugs, engaged in hushed conversation and wondered if the evening's festivities would-or should-go on as planned. Meanwhile, music legend Dionne Warwick, Houston's cousin, sat quietly among a table of 10 people at the hotel's restaurant, away from the party.
Davis arrived at his own party more than an hour after many guests and took his place behind the podium. After standing in silence for several seconds, he told the crowd, "I do have a very heavy heart." He spoke of how Houston always loved the annual party (though she had performed there in the past, she was not scheduled to do so that night) and said, "Whitney would have wanted the music to go on, and her family asked that we carry on." After a moment of silence, stars including Diddy, Tony Bennett and Alicia Keys took the stage and honored the late singer. "Hearing her sing was like listening to magic," said the rapper. (PEOPLE's annual photo shoot of the event was canceled.)
Many of those who knew her seemed shocked that Houston would lose the battle with her demons now. "She seemed to be working hard and was her usual effervescent self and bubbly personality, and there was no indication it would end this way," says the close family friend. "I've seen her in darker times, in much more serious times, and had more cause to be concerned then."
Filming the movie Sparkle last fall in Detroit, Houston was on her best behavior. "She was healthy and beautiful while she was making it," says Debra Martin Chase, a producer of Sparkle and longtime friend. "That is why this is such a weird time for this to happen."
Aside from an incident on a flight from Atlanta to Detroit in October (the singer wouldn't fasten her seatbelt; a source told PEOPLE, "She wasn't drunk, drinking or on drugs; she was just exhausted") there were no signs that Houston was struggling while on-set. She was "very punctual and very professional" and brought her acting A-game, says Kevin O'Neil, the film's second assistant director. "Every scene we shot with her, she'd come in and knock it out. It was very impressive." Houston, who plays the mother of an aspiring pop star in the film, wowed the crowd when she sang the traditional gospel hymn "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" during a scene filmed at the Iroquois Avenue Christ Lutheran Church. "She was in good voice," says Brandon "B" Williams, a Grammy-nominated producer. "I know she had some really tough years, but I really felt like she was back."
But behind the scenes, the singer was still in trouble. "Someone may look good on the outside-strong and sturdy-but on the inside you have someone who has insecurities, struggles, family issues and emotional and personal issues," says a friend. "People tend to forget that because her name and face were everywhere."
After a stint in rehab last year, Houston had seemed to fall back into her partying ways. "The thing about Whitney is that she tried [to kick her addictions]," says the friend. "She was trying, and she was trying to surround herself with people who were supportive of that effort, but as any addict will tell you, it was a daily struggle."
A source says Houston was on another downward spiral in October, leading management and members of her entourage to launch a renewed push to get her back into rehab. She didn't go. "She handled her sobriety in her own way," says the close friend. "She was being stubborn Whitney, and that may not have been the best thing."
Her moods could be erratic. "When she was up, everyone would see the glimmer of the old fun-loving, happy, superbly talented Whitney," says a longtime family friend. "But when she was down, she could be moody, mean, angry, irritable."
In recent weeks Houston had even been asking acquaintances to lend her small sums of money. "She told people she didn't have access to cash," says a source, who heard that Davis has been paying her bills but not giving her pocket money. "She is surrounded by enablers, and she's been paying for everything for her entire family," says a close music source.
The day after Houston's death, the singer was honored during packed services at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, N.J., where she sang as a child. "As we mourn her passing, we dare not be so sad to forget her glory," Pastor Joe Carter told the congregants. On Feb. 13, her body was flown to New Jersey and taken by gold hearse to a Newark funeral home. Friends and family are planning to hold a funeral at New Hope on Feb. 18. They'll remember her as a "giving, generous and warm person," says the longtime family friend, but are left to wonder what else she could have accomplished had her addictions not gotten in the way. "Whitney said she regretted having to lose so much time and energy running behind something that was not productive for her," says another close family friend. "Just last week she wanted to record some new music. She was hopeful."

Hillary Clinton picked her words carefully when the NBC debate moderators asked her about her relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "It's…interesting," she said, smiling at her own word choice. Clinton went on to say that she and Putin mutually respect each other, but that Putin is "someone you have to consistently stand up to."
Unlike her opponents on stage, Clinton has direct experience working with Putin from when she served as Secretary of State. In her book Hard Choices, Clinton described Putin as "disciplined and fit, a practitioner of judo, and he inspired hope and confidence among Russians still reeling from so much political change and economic adversity." However, she didn't shy away from criticizing the president, either: "He also proved over time to be thin-skinned and autocratic, resenting criticism and eventually cracking down on dissent and debate, including a free press and NGOs." Jeva Lange
The Donald J. Trump Foundation does not have the certification New York requires so charities can solicit money from the public, the state attorney general's office told The Washington Post.
As reported by David Fahrenthold, under New York law, any charity that solicits more than $25,000 a year from the public must obtain registration beforehand, and a charity the size of the Trump Foundation must also submit to an audit that asks if it spent any money to personally benefit its officers. The Trump Foundation was established in 1987 as a way for Trump to give away proceeds from his book, The Art of the Deal, but began taking donations from others in the early 2000s. One example of public solicitation took place earlier this year, when the Trump Foundation asked for donations online to give to veterans, later saying it raised $1.67 million through the site. Tax filings also show that each year during the past decade, the foundation raised more than $25,000 from outsiders, the Post reports. The Trump campaign did not respond to the Post's request for comment.
If the state attorney general finds the Trump Foundation violated the law while raising money, he could order the foundation immediately stop its fundraising efforts, and with a court's permission, it could be ordered to give back the money it has raised. One expert in charity law told Fahrenthold he was surprised by Trump's rookie move. "He's a billionaire who acts like a thousandaire," James J. Fishman, a professor at Pace University's law school in White Plains, New York, said. "You wouldn't expect somebody who's supposed to be sophisticated, and brags about his business prowess, would run his foundation like this." Catherine Garcia
USA Today's editorial board has never before chosen sides in a presidential race, and while they were unable to come up with a consensus for a Hillary Clinton endorsement, they did unanimously agree that Donald Trump is "unfit for the presidency."
Every four years, the editorial board revisits their policy against endorsing a candidate, and every four years, they stick with it. This time around, the board explained, it was different. Trump, the board wrote, "has demonstrated repeatedly that he lacks the temperament, knowledge, steadiness, and honesty that America needs from its presidents." He is "ill-equipped to be commander in chief," with "foreign policy pronouncements" that "typically range from uninformed to incoherent." Further, he is so "erratic" that "attempting to assess his policy positions is like shooting at a moving target," and he "traffics in prejudice," is a "serial liar," and has "coarsened the national dialogue."
The editorial urges voters to "stay true" to their convictions, but "resist the siren song of a dangerous demagogue. By all means vote, just not for Donald Trump." Read the entire damning editorial at USA Today. Catherine Garcia
There's been a drop in the number of people getting the flu vaccination, a trend that's worrying infectious disease specialists.
"Flu is serious. Flu is unpredictable," Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters Thursday. "Flu often does not get enough respect." In 2015, about 45 percent of the U.S. population received vaccinations, down 1.5 percentage points from 2014, the CDC reports. The largest decrease was in people 50 and up — there was a 3.4 percent drop among people between the ages of 50 and 64, and a 3.3 percent decline among people 65 and over. While most people are hit with mild symptoms, the flu kills 100 children every year, and the elderly are among the most vulnerable to the virus.
While the CDC is urging Americans to get a flu shot now, they are not recommending the nasal spray vaccine, which is often used on kids, due to questions surrounding the vaccine's effectiveness. This year, there are also two new vaccines, NPR reports; one protects against four strains of the flu rather than three, and the other has an "adjuvant," which increases its effectiveness. The CDC expects as many as 168 million vaccines will be available, so "there's plenty for everybody," Frieden said. Catherine Garcia
The New Jersey medical examiner has identified the victim in Thursday morning's train crash in Hoboken as Fabiola Bittar de Kroon, 34.

— Michael Del Moro (@MikeDelMoro) September 29, 2016
De Kroon was a resident of Hoboken and native of Brazil, who once worked as a lawyer there at the computer software company SAP, NBC New York reports. She recently moved to Hoboken with her family, and her young daughter was in day care at the time of the accident, which left at least 114 people injured. Officials said de Kroon was waiting on a platform when the New Jersey Transit train came careening into the terminal, and she was hit by falling debris. Catherine Garcia
Citing Cuba report, Clinton says Trump puts 'business interests' ahead of U.S. 'laws and values'
Hillary Clinton says a Newsweek story about Donald Trump allegedly violating the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba shows he's "puts his personal and business interests ahead of the laws and values and policies of the United States of America."
While investigating the story, published Thursday, Newsweek interviewed former executives of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts and looked at court filings and company records. They found that in 1998, Trump wanted to get into the Cuban market, and sent a consulting firm to Havana on its behalf to find any business opportunities. The company allegedly spent at least $68,000 in Cuba, without U.S. permission, and Newsweek says they made it appear as though the trip was connected to a Catholic charity. In 1999, Trump wrote in a Miami Herald column that he refused to do business in Cuba because "it would place me directly at odds with the longstanding U.S. policy of isolating Fidel Castro. I had a choice to make: huge profits or human rights. For me, it was a no-brainer."
Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said on Thursday the money was never paid, giving the only statement so far from the Trump camp, the BBC reports. The Cuban-American vote in Florida is huge, and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who has endorsed Trump, told an ESPN/ABC podcast he hopes "the Trump campaign is going to come forward and answer some questions about this, because if what the article says is true — and I'm not saying that it is, we don't know with 100 percent certainty — I'd be deeply concerned about it." Catherine Garcia
A New Jersey Transit commuter train crashed Thursday morning at a station in Hoboken, New Jersey. At least 114 people were injured, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) told CNN on Thursday afternoon, with many in critical condition. At least one person is confirmed dead.
"I got off my train on the way into work and as I was walking through the station, we could see that a train had come through the place where it's supposed to stop, all the way into the station — not into the waiting room but into the outdoor part," said Nancy Solomon of New York radio station WNYC. Photographs of the crash show significant damage to the station, including a partial collapse of the roof.

The crash happened at the height of the morning commute, around 8:45 a.m., though the number and severity of injuries is still unclear. Preliminary investigation suggests the incident was either accidental or caused by operator error. Full service is expected to resume for evening rush hour.

The History of Orchids
Orchids are grown for the astonishing beauty and variety of their flowers. The most beautiful are the gorgeous South American cattleyas, with their often huge, sparkling, rosy-purple and mauve blooms; these are the aristocrats of the orchid world. Others have an altogether different appeal; these are the strangely weird, sometimes evil-smelling species, which are found among the bulbophyllums in particular. In between these two extremes are numerous delightful orchids of unlimited charm and desirability. It is from among this multitude of varieties that the vast number of collections is made up.

CityJet extends seasonal route to Brive, Dordogne due to popular demand.
28th July 2010
CityJet, announced today that they are extending their summer season route from London City to Brive, Dordogne until the end of October 2010.
CityJet will operate a return flight out of City Airport on Fridays and Sundays from 17 September to 31 October giving Londoners an extra six weeks to enjoy the convenient service that has opened up direct access to the Dordogne region for the first time.
The CityJet route to Brive, which was started on 25 June 2010, was initially planned to operate until 12 September 2010.
In its fifth week of operation, however, CityJet was achieving a load factor of 75% proving there is a high demand for flights to this holiday destination.
In addition to leisure travellers, the route has become an ideal link for the many Londoners who own a second home in the scenic region.
Says Geoffrey O'Byrne White, CEO of CityJet:
"For a brand new route to be operating at a 75% load factor in its fifth week of operations is extremely impressive. Given this unprecedented demand, we've taken the decision to extend the route until 31 October. This is the last day of school's half-term break, when a lot of Londoners will be returning from a short break in the Dordogne region.
We received a mass of requests from our passengers asking for a longer season and after careful consideration we have put the plans in place to allow us to give our passengers what they want and offer another six weeks of operation."
Prices start from £59 one way, including taxes.
The route will continue to operate using an Avro RJ85.

London City to Brive Valley of the Dordogne
Friday AF5261 14.35-17.10
