News Roundup: Sept. 9
Top Story
The Magdalene Sisters, British director Peter Mullan's pointed depiction of an abusive Catholic convent, won the Golden Lion for best picture Sunday at the Venice Film Festival. Earlier this week, the Vatican denounced the film, which depicts young women being imprisoned and tormented in convents for often-preposterous reasons, including having been raped. According to The Associated Press, Mullan told audiences, "As regards the film, it's not just about the Catholic Church and how they oppressed young women in Ireland. It's about all faiths, all fundamentalist faiths, that believe they have the right to oppress young women." Other winners included actress Julianne Moore, who took home best actress for Far From Heaven, and Stefano Accorsi, who won best actor for A Journey Called Love. Andrej Konchalovsky's House of Fools, a drama about a psychiatric institution on the Chechen/Russian border whose inmates are left to cope on their own after the staff flee from the war, won the Jury Grand Prix.
Jerry Lewis collapsed backstage at a London theater shortly before he was due to take part in a benefit show and was taken to an undisclosed London hospital, the BBC reports. The 76-year-old comedian has been plagued with health problems since the 1980s, including prostate cancer, pulmonary fibrosis and spinal meningitis. In an interview with the UK's Daily Mirror published Monday, Lewis was quoted as saying that the pain had been so agonizing that he had contemplated suicide. "In April it got so bad that it forced me to get a gun and seriously think about putting it in my mouth," he said.
Patty Duke remained hospitalized Friday and was listed in fair condition at the Kootenai Medical Center's Intensive Care Unit in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, after suffering a concussion and skull fracture when a horse she was spraying with fly repellent apparently knocked her down, the AP reports. Her husband, Michael Pearce, said he heard a thump and a cry from his wife after he left her in the barn to spray the 2-year-old filly. Duke won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1963 for The Miracle Worker.
The AP reports an Oregon couple who purchased the childhood home of former Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain last month for $42,500 has put it up for auction on eBay with an opening bid of $200,000. The couple says they had no idea it was Cobain's house when they bought it. Cobain lived with his father and stepmother in the turn-of the-century home, valued at $52,660 in 2000, from age 11 to 15. As of Sunday there had been no bids. There's still time to submit yours–the auction ends Sept. 15.
Director James Cameron debuted part of Ghosts of the Abyss Friday at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival in Goleta, Calif., the AP reports. Ghosts, an underwater documentary on the sunken Titanic, was shot in 3-D using a lightweight camera designed by Cameron, his brother Mike and cinematographer Vince Pace.
Hip-hop sensation Lil' Kim will be making her big-screen debut in the urban Western indie Guns and Roses, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Directed by Higher Ed's Jean Claude LaMarre, the film, set in the 1800s, follows the journey of five female outlaws who are fighting to avenge the murder of one of their own. It also stars singer Bobby Brown, LisaRaye, Monica Calhoun, Marie Matiko and Louis Mandylor.
Madonna's Maverick Films is developing a TV movie with VH1 called How to be the Perfect Latino Popstar, a Pygmalion story set in the world of Latin music, Variety reports. Maverick partners Madonna and Guy Oseary will executive produce the movie, based on a script by Laura Angelica Simone.
Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot was being treated in a Hamilton, Ontario, hospital Sunday for an undisclosed ailment, the AP reports. Lightfoot was rushed to a hospital in Orillia, 50 miles north of Toronto, on Saturday night shortly before he was set to perform at a concert promoting his latest album, A Painter Passing Through. He was later airlifted to Hamilton. Lightfoot, 63, and his wife have asked that no more information be given out at this time.

In April, Molecular Epidemiology: Principles and Practices was published as an International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Scientific Publication. Nathaniel Rothman, M.D., M.P.H., M.H.S., a senior investigator and head of molecular epidemiology studies in the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch (OEEB), is the lead editor for the book. Other editors include Dr. Pierre Hainaut of IARC in Lyon, France; Dr. Paul Schulte of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Cincinnati, Ohio; Dr. Martyn Smith of the University of California, Berkeley; Dr. Paolo Boffetta of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, New York; and Dr. Frederica Perera of the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health in
New York, New York.
The text covers the major conceptual issues in molecular epidemiology with a strong emphasis on study design. Sixty-five authors contributed to the book, which has 27 chapters organized into 5 sections: (1) Contextual framework for molecular epidemiology, (2) Biomarkers—Practical aspects, (3) Assessing exposure to the environment, (4) Incorporating biomarkers into epidemiology study designs, and (5) Application of biomarkers to disease. The book is both a cornerstone for specialists and a teaching and training tool for public health, biology, and medical students. Dr. Rothman plans to use the text for the next DCEG molecular epidemiology course.
Joseph F. Fraumeni, Jr., M.D., Director of DCEG, wrote a foreword for the book, noting, "At this critical moment in the evolution of molecular epidemiology, the editors of this volume have enlisted scientific leaders in the field to review the major concepts, methods, and tools of this interdisciplinary approach.…With the evidence in this volume as a starting point, the stage is set for basic, clinical, and population scientists to accelerate collaborative efforts that will contribute new biological insights and augment strategies for preventing and controlling disease on a global scale."
Several DCEG staff contributed to the text, including Christian C. Abnet, Ph.D., M.P.H., Nutritional Epidemiology Branch (NEB); Neil E. Caporaso, M.D., Chief of the Genetic Epidemiology Branch; Stephen J. Chanock, M.D., Chief of the Laboratory of Translational Genomics and Director of the Core Genotyping Facility (CGF); Nilanjan Chatterjee, Ph.D., Chief of the Biostatistics Branch; Amanda J. Cross, Ph.D. (NEB); Marianne K. Henderson, M.S., Chief of the Office of Division Operations and Analysis; Kevin B. Jacobs (CGF); Qing Lan, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H. (OEEB); and Rashmi Sinha, Ph.D. (NEB).

Given that this is the only option available, would you use this product?
Since living here in Afghanistan, I have been scoping out possible Primal sources of fat. I have luckily found a brand of coconut oil, which is produced in Singapore, called C.B.C. (Ceylon Big Coconut) Pure White Coconut Oil. SimeDarby
After reading Mark's post about selecting quality coconut oil, I'm concerned as to whether or not this may be adulterated, refined oil. The website I posted above is not very informative and the oil tastes normal to me. It definitely has the smell of coconut oil.
This is the only brand of oil in town that I know of and I'm wondering if anyone here has used this or knows anything about it? For what it's worth, the oil does harden up when I put it in the refrigerator. I'm not sure if that says anything about it.
Thanks for your input!!
Given that this is the only option available, would you use this product?
If it has the coconut taste/smell it should be unrefined. How about ghee as an alternative. You can make it yourself from butter. or even a mix of the two Coconut Oil and Ghee: Together At Last | Mark's Daily Apple.

Division of Computer and Network Systems
Computer Systems Research
See program guidelines for contact information.
The Computer Systems Research (CSR) program supports transformative research in computer systems including: multi-core architectures, operating systems, middle-ware and run-time support systems, programming models and tools, storage and file systems, hybrid and embedded systems, web-based systems, datacenters, distributed systems, parallel systems, large scale grids, wireless systems, mobile systems, and sensor systems.
CSR proposals should address problems that are appropriate to the CSR Core Area or to one of this year's highlighted areas. Note that proposals that address problems in the CSR highlighted areas are not targeted for special handling or funding - they simply represent emerging areas or areas of current national interest.
- CSR Core Are
The CSR program supports transformative research, whether foundational or in computing systems, ranging from multi-core architectures and operating systems to mobile and sensor systems. Research in computer systems is typically complicated by two factors. First, modern systems are increasingly large, complex, and heterogeneous. Second, they are usually required to provide, during their executions, high degrees of availability, responsiveness, fault-tolerance, and security. Some are safety-critical. Other system properties of interest include speed, storage requirements, energy consumption, and real-time constraints.
Research in the CSR Core Area involves developing methodologies, techniques, heuristics, and tools for the analysis, design, construction, optimization, and certification of computing systems to meet specified goals, as well as hardware and software execution platforms and environments.
The CSR core supports and sustains progress in the contributing disciplinary areas that underlie computing systems, including: distributed systems; high performance computing; operating systems and middleware; design and programming models; and real-time, embedded, and hybrid systems.
- CSR Highlighted Areas
For this solicitation, there are four CSR highlighted areas: Cloud Computing (CC), Embedded and Hybrid Systems (EHS), Pervasive Computing (PC), and Sustainable Computing (SC). These four areas are described below.
- Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a computing paradigm of on-demand access (as a service) to computing, data, and software utilities. It is based on an abstraction of unlimited availability of virtual resources, and a model of usage-based billing where users essentially "rent" virtual resources and pay only for the virtual resources that they rent.
The main focus of the CC highlight area is to stimulate and promote basic, applied, and experimental research in several directions, in the area of cloud computing, that includes (but is not limited to): cloud architectures and systems; network support for cloud computing; data replication, consistency, availability, and management; programming models for the cloud; cloud self-monitoring, prediction, and autonomic control; fault-masking and reliability; cloud security, privacy, authorization, and auditing; debugging, certification, diagnosis, and update in the cloud; data portability, inter-operability, and standardization; green clouds; and cloud test-beds.
- Embedded and Hybrid Systems
Embedded and hybrid systems control devices and physical or engineered systems that range from hearing aids and pacemakers to automobiles, aircraft, chemical processing plants, electrical power grids, and global aviation infrastructure. The EHS highlight area supports research and education in scientific foundations and technology that will revolutionize the design and development of such systems.
The goal is to supply technologies for designing and building increasingly capable and certifiably dependable embedded and control systems, with real-time, interoperability, survivability, reliability, and security guarantees. A central challenge is to create unified foundations for interacting physical and computational systems.
Specific topics of interest include: embedded systems software and programming methods; real-time services and platforms; foundations and technology for hybrid (discrete and continuous) control; innovative embedded hardware technology; scalable support for embedded sensing; architecture and design principles for complex embedded systems; and resource management and optimization.
- Pervasive Computing
The dynamic and heterogeneous nature of ubiquitous, distributed and pervasive computing systems, coupled with their interactions with humans and devices, gives rise to unique scientific and socio-technical challenges. At the core of these challenges is the need for new abstractions, models, methodologies, languages, tools and systems.
Support for pervasive and distributed access to systems, ranging in size and complexity from the personal to very large-scale, requires new approaches to: creating system software; configuring architectures, networks, and connectivity; management; and metrics. The PC highlight area funds activities that address the challenges posed by PCs which may include: pervasive and distributed system modeling and design; techniques for remote access to systems, devices and data; context-aware, smart and adaptive environments; scalability, performance and fault tolerance; security and trust; quality of service; energy management; and other aspects affecting the realization, operation, and use of pervasive and distributed systems.
- Sustainable Computing
The SC highlight area addresses fundamental advances in methods and models to address power, thermal and sustainability issues in the design and operation of computing devices at all scales (from PDAs to large servers and storage boxes) and at all levels (from chips to entire data centers) that are essential to reduce the carbon footprint of fast expanding computing technologies and to deliver the performance that customers and applications demand. As energy generation becomes more distributed and relies on renewable sources, integration of energy generation and consumption by IT becomes an important aspect to consider. With energy consumption of IT systems becoming a major issue, tradeoffs between energy efficiency, performance, and other factors such as reliability or space become essential.
Both the CSR Core and the CSR highlighted areas seek proposals focused on advances in system computing and systems programming that are particular to an application domain or a specific hardware platform as well as generic across domains and platforms. Investigators interested in the CSR program may also wish to consider the Software and Hardware Foundations (SHF) program, which supports research on the design, verification, operation, utilization, and evaluation of computer hardware and software through novel approaches, robust theories, high leverage tools, and lasting principles.

Sitting Down with the Boss
I remember hanging out around the south San Diego neighborhood
where I lived watching these vatos from the Casinos; Brown Image and Latin
Lowriders doing there thing and again, this was still just the Seventies.
I was fascinated with the colors, the image, the movement of the cars and
their lifestyle; not to mention the music they would play. Stuff like James
Brown, Kool and the Gang, Santana...And they had graffiti letters too.
time I was 16. And I did the whole car club thing.
I was one of the first members from Groupe Car Club in San Diego. I showed
my ride, did the party thing and went to school. But I still did well
in school. I had to; my Dad put that fear/discipline in me.

Units become two publicly traded companies
Newspapers have never been a less sexy business proposition than they are now.
That's the unavoidable takeaway from the bullish response Tuesday to E.W. Scripps' separation of its cable-TV channel portfolio and newspaper group into two separate, publicly traded companies. The move follows a similar action this fall by Belo Corp.
Investors sent Scripps shares up almost 9% to $45.93 after hearing of the split.
One of the companies will be called Scripps Network Interactive, with cable assets such as HGTV, Food Network, Fine Living and DIY Network, annual revenues of $1.4 billion and 2,100 employees.
The other part will be known as the E.W. Scripps Co. and include newspapers such as the Rocky Mountain News and Memphis Commercial Appeal, plus 10 local TV stations, with $1.1 billion and about 7,100 workers.

A California man who threatened to bomb the Los Angeles subway system is in custody Tuesday.
The FBI arrested 20-year-old Nicholas Teausant Sunday near the Canadian border. He's been charged with trying to provide support to Islamic extremists in Syria.
The National Guardsman planned to travel to Syria to join al Qaeda to fight for "Allah's army."
Authorities said Teausant posted several terrorist messages on social media sites. He indicated he wanted to conduct jihad and be part of America's downfall.
Friends who know Teausant from a local church youth group said he often kept to himself.
The maximum penalty for supporting a foreign terror group is 15 years behind bars and a $250,000 fine.

Let me start this by saying that I am a longtime lurker and have never really posted but I found this message today and thought I would share it all with you. This message is from October and was BH.
"things we can't change: the weather, the color of the sky and the number of planets & stars. Things we can change: our attitudes, how we treat others and whether or not we try to get along.
I have not commented on the numerous childish Facebook posts but I will have to admit they have gotten old!
I have never told you or L how to run your lives our how to raise your family. Having family together is important to us all but if you have decided you don't want to try to be a parry of this family, nothing we say or do will change that.
The choices we make in our life are ones we will live with forever. I just hope the choices you make & the examples you set for your children are ones you won't regret in the future! If you need to discuss anything with me, feel free too call anytime!"

From all US Army enlistees leaving Vietnam in September 1971, a random sample of 943 men was selected. Of these, 470 represented a "general" sample of all enlistees returning at that time, and 495 represented a "drug-positive" sample whose urine samples had been positive for opiates at the time of departure. We attempted to locate and personally interview all of the men in the samples.
Results indicate that before arrival, hard drug use was largely casual, and less than 1% had ever been addicted to narcotics. In Vietnam, almost half the general sample tried narcotics and 20% reported opiate addiction. After return, usage and addiction essentially decreased to pre-Vietnam levels. We discuss the use of nonnarcotic drugs, predictors and correlates of drug use in the samples, and the relationship of drugs to post-Vietnam social adjustment.

Farming the Easy WayPosted Wednesday, September 5, 2007, at 12:03 PM
So what's the big deal?
Spreading out from behind my home are acres and acres of farmland. As the year rolls around, it sometimes sways with deep green wheat, sometimes rustles with the leaves of soybean plants. It's very pretty and obviously very productive, and it has been very easy to forget that it doesn't belong to me and that I have nothing to do with what grows or doesn't grow on it. I started to feel kind of proprietary about it. I think of it as my farm.
With experience, I have learned when the crops go in and when they come out. I know the stages of the development of the plants and watch their growth with probably nearly as much satisfaction as the guy who planted them, and without anywhere near the effort.
I can just sit there on my back porch with a frosty glass in my hand, gazing at the amber waves of grain, and say, "'Bout time we brought in that wheat." (Sometimes I spit right after I say it.) Sure enough, within a few days I come home and the wheat is miraculously gone. All the stalks are neatly cut off and the field is as prickly and smooth as a Marine's buzz cut. It's as if some large machine has come through, designed specifically for the task.
Last Spring I started hearing a lot of talk about ethanol and corn prices and I thought to myself, "Maybe we ought to put that ten acres in corn this year." A few weeks later--hey, presto! Corn starts sprouting from my field. What can be easier?
But then it started getting hotter and hotter. And I started thinking, "Gee, it hasn't rained in a while." I look at "my" corn and start to worry about it. What is this? As the summer went on and the rain kept on not falling, I grew more and more concerned. The corn started turning brown around the edges. That can't be good, can it? I begin spending a lot of afternoons wandering the edge of the cornfield, sifting dusty soil through my fingers and glancing apprehensively at the cloudless sky.
Suddenly farming sucks.
But the corn disappeared the other day, so that's behind me now and I can get on with my life. There's just stubble in the field, and I found a bunch of completely stripped cobs tossed here and there around my yard. How the heck does that get done? Elves?

If you had had to walk over clods behind a team of mules for fourteen hours a day in order to feed your kids, like both of my granddaddys did, and my daddy starting when he was ten years old, you wouldn' have such a cavalier attitude toward farming. A significant percentage of the world's population in the twenty-first century still farms that way. We need to appreciate what our engineers, inventors, scientists, and hard working forebears have done to make our life so much easier. Go jog five laps around the Okeena Park trail and get your cholesterol down.

We must make the best of what Nature sends us, after all. I, for one, am perfectly willing to start measuring my crop yield in margaritas per acre.

I knew this was a dry summer, but upon checking NOAA's precip maps for the last 90 days, it appears that some parts of Dyer county only recieved 1 inch of total rainfall, but other parts got has much as 6 inches during that same period. Check out: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/rfcshare/precip_... for the map. It has been a very sporadic summer distribution this year. I hope next year it improves, or your elves may be harvesting cacti and agave instead of corn. Let's see now, what might we make with those two crops......mmmm?

You put into words so beautifully how I feel. I, too, choose to stay at home w/ my tinies...intentionally. I truly just don't want to leave them right now. I prefer to be right here, happy at home.

I also appreciated your comment about motherhood journeys. There is so much truth in that.

I once calculated that I nursed my 3 kids for a total of 60 months. That's in addition to the 25 months I spent pregnant. At the time, it was all consuming and seemed never-ending. But now it's gone. It's a drop in the bucket. And I wish I'd realized how fleeting it was and enjoyed it a little bit more. There will be plenty more BlogHers. You will never regret your choice. And I know you know that. :-)Musings of a Housewifehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-62178922367357201022010-07-10T19:15:23.582-07:002010-07-10T19:15:23.582-07:00Steph, I am so glad you've posted about this. ...Steph, I am so glad you've posted about this. Our choices and our priorities don't have to equal a value judgment about anyone else's choices or priorities, as you've so nicely pointed out. And I am totally with you about bringing a 2-year-old to an NYC BlogHer; sounds way too stressful for my liking! Your time will come--Ivy will grow up so fast. There is no rush.

I would also like to express that you can be an AP-er, and an extended nurser, and still do the occasional night or even weekend away without issue if your circumstances call for it. I never left two of my kids until they weaned, because I never had to, and it just never came up. But two others have been extended breastfeeders and have been left with Daddy or a close relative for 2-4 nights without harming the nursing relationship at all. all kids are different and some would definitely go on "strike" after being left, but not all. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.Meagan Francishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-68329750141737782302010-07-09T16:31:24.134-07:002010-07-09T16:31:24.134-07:00It's so wonderful to find so many other women ...It's so wonderful to find so many other women parenting in the same way I have chosen to mother my children. I am still breastfeeding my 1 and 3 year olds. I wear my youngest when she's not running away from me (sadly, my babywearing days are drawing to a close). We all co-sleep. And I can't recall a night I've spent away in my 3 years of motherhood. Like you, it doesn't seem natural. I believe mothering is all about following your heart, your instincts and mine have always told me to keep them close in these very precious early years.

I still "cosleep" to get Ivy to nap, and they are usually cat naps but sometimes longer if I'm lucky. I keep a video monitor on the bed so that I can tend to her (not such a problem now that she's older and can get down fine on her own.)

Somedays she'll nap on the couch, or in a sling, wherever I can get her to settle and rest. But mostly I try to put her down to nap around the same times each day (in my bed) and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. (I tell the boys I'm putting her down for a nap and need quiet. They've learned.)

But, I am in a different minority here. I do leave my kids for extended time. And not just daycare.
My husband and I have date nights and my girls get to hang out with their grandparents. My parents. My mom is very like minded when it comes to raising kids and I love the relationships they have.
There are no issues with the frozen milk Or the cloth diapers. And I get to see my husband. More then see, I get to talk with him, hold his hand and eat delicious food.

Right now he cat naps during nursing sessions and gets one longer nap midday when his sister naps. I used to be able to get him to nap in our sling, but he wakes when I try to transfer him now.

Living where I live, I take the AP culture for granted and forget sometimes that there are plenty of mamas out there who don't have AP Mama friends who have been there before them nearby to watch and learn from and bounce questions off of and get ideas from. So you doing this here is lovely and wonderful, as are you.

Just wanted to say so.

p.s. Also wanted to chime in that it's possible to continue extended bf-ing even while working full-time.

At 19 months, Ax is old enough that he can manage a morning nursing and then evening/bedtime nursing even though I'm gone all day. I even left him overnight for the first time last weekend, and we were fine (I did pump once the next morning since I wasn't going to see him for a few hours yet).

Anyway, just wanted to encourage the mamas who might have to go back to work eventually that you can extended bf even if you're not a stay at home mom, and that you can be away from them for a while (even overnight) and you won't necessarily lose your supply. :)Elizabeth @claritychaoshttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-81512763946282116342010-07-07T18:16:33.623-07:002010-07-07T18:16:33.623-07:00I'm jealous of your extended nursing.

Oh, sure! Well, Ivy definitely is a good eater of regular foods- she eats meals with us in appropriate portions, but she definitely loves to nurse. I have recently, to get MYSELF back some of the time, started trying to only nurse at night time or nap time. If she wants to nurse, I'll tell her not now, or later. I can only continue the nursing relationship if we BOTH enjoy it, and that means for me sometimes she doesn't always get it when and where she wants, but I do know when she needs it for comfort, etc and definitely go according to the situation. I think you can still encourage her to eat regular foods and also continue to nurse as long as you'd like!

I'm not sure without looking, but be sure the sling fabric is spread wide and evenly across your back, and that the rings come to where a corsage would be pinned on your chest- not too high, not up on your neck, and not too low. And when you pull the slack through the rings, be sure to pull at both sides to adjust and even out. Hope this helps some!

I just want to know how you do what you do with nursing this long. My daughter is still nursing strong and most days totally not interested in food. How do you deal with this? Some days I just embrace and others I just want my body to myself!
I honestly want to and plan to breastfeed as long as she needs but I've been finding myself pushing foods and saying no to breastfeeding to encourage eating and honestly I don't know how I feel about it.
But I feel self concious about her age and breastfeeding as we approach 2 years.

I've never really found books helpful, but being around and watching other "AP" parents, reading blogs about the way they parent, etc helped shape how I wanted to go about it for myself. You might also want to check out the Attachment Parenting International website for helpful info.

Struggling with your workout? Find out why …
Have you ever had a day when your workout just seemed tougher than usual? Maybe your ten minute warm-up stint on the exercise bike had you feeling worn out, or you couldn't manage as many reps as usual on the weights. Before you start blaming yourself for being "lazy", here's some factors you might want to have a think about:
Did you drink enough before your workout? It's not enough to just drink water during your gym session – you need to be well hydrated beforehand, too.
Being dehydrated can severely hamper your athletic activities, slowing you down and making it harder to lift weights. Exercise requires additional water, so be sure to hydrate before, during and after exercise.
– 9 Great Reasons to Drink Water, and How to Form the Water Habit
Fix it: If you're hitting the gym at 5.30pm after work, try having an extra glass of water at around 4 – 4.30pm. Take a big bottle of water into the gym with you and sip from it regularly.
If you feel as though you're lacking energy – and especially if you feel faint or dizzy – you might not have eaten enough. Remember that you need to eat a snack an hour or so before working out, to make sure you've got some energy for your body to burn!
Pre-exercise meals are important to be sure that you have adequate energy and that you get the most from your activity and do not experience undue fatigue.
– Eating Around Your Workout Schedule
Fix it: Have a pre-gym snack (around an hour before your workout usually works well), or exercise within 3-4 hours of a good-sized meal.
Feeling exhausted during your workout might be a sign that you've not had enough sleep. If you're yawning the day away at your desk, dragging yourself to the gym can help wake you up – but you might not be able to perform at your usual levels.
Without adequate sleep (eight hours a night), there is not enough rest for muscle cell growth and repair. In fact, when you sleep, growth hormone is produced and protein synthesis in the muscles occurs.
– The Importance of Sleep
Fix it: Make sure you get an early night the day before a workout. If you do sleep badly, go easy on yourself in the gym – it's better to do your session at a slightly lower intensity than to not go at all.
If you're feeling under the weather, your ability to exercise is likely to be diminished. Jogging on the treadmill probably won't help that nagging headache, either. Most experts say that you can work out if you have "above the neck" symptoms (stuffy nose, sore throat, etc) but not if you have "below the neck" symptoms (chest congestion, upset stomach). You also shouldn't work out if you've got a fever.
If you're not feeling well but still want to exercise, reduce the intensity of your workout and listen to your body. If your symptoms worsen with exercise, stop and rest. Missing a few days of exercise isn't the end of the world.
– Exercise and illness: should you exercise when you're sick?
Fix it: Don't be afraid to skip your workout for a few days if you're ill: it's more important to recover quickly and fully than to force yourself through a gym session when you're feeling awful. Try taking a gentle walk instead.

The fate of the trestle
The Bothell City Council has tentatively agreed to allocate funds to upgrade the trestle and is expected within the next few weeks to finalize an interlocal agreement with King County for the project.
Bothell has indicated it has no interest in gaining ownership of the trestle, but is leaning towards the county option that would add smooth concrete decking and a 42-inch railing to the trestle for about $138,000.
Costs of demolishing the trestle or upgrading it are similar: about $139,000 to demolish it ($89,000 for the county to take it out, plus $50,000 for the City of Bothell to relocate the sewer line which runs underneath it); or $138,000 to add a concrete bridge deck and 42-inch-high railings.
Upgrading the trestle would provide a trail link between the Burke-Gilman Trail and Blyth Park, and would also serve as part of a trail loop that has been a part of the city's long-term Parks Plan. The loop would incorporate the trail, the trestle, the bridge east of the trestle, and the railroad right-of-way on the south side of the Sammamish River.

Skip to comments.Amy's Place ... Poetry and Potpourri ... May, 2012
Posted on 04/30/2012 10:02:37 PM PDT by JustAmy
Mary Lou, I'm listening to Rush and he had me rolling in the floor laughing, talking about the dinosaurs passing gas (not the word he used) has caused this global warming, re: the article we read!
He is soooo funny! He just went to commercial but he'll be back in a minute! I try to listen everyday as he perks me up when I'm in the doldrums over the O!!!!
Well, even if she HAD interpreted my statement as, "snippy" (Which it wasn't!) and i profoundly apologized because it was perceived that way, it didn't matter to her. She was on a roll.
Even though I was innocent of her accusations, I apologized because something I said unintentionally hurt her. But she would not accept my apology.
What else can a person do?
I LOVE Rush! He comments on all the same article I do! LOLOLOL!
Just remember "you're a better woman than she is." You gave an apology which shouldn't have been BUT she wasn't woman enough to even accept the apology. I always say "WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND!"
He does put the spirit in me! He just now said that now "we are now going to increase global warming for emitting too much gas." Are we going to have inspectors checking us for that now? HE IS HILARIOUS! He used other words, too!
I gotta run out now, see you all later!
Thank you!
Love that frame!
Thanks! :)
Hope you're feeling better today. Some people just have to make themselves feel superior to others. They must be ignored! (Or ridiculed by your friends..*snicker*)
Hanging in there, Sweet FRiend! :-)
Thank you!
Enjoy your day!
I know your creation of the chimes is time consuming but, have you ever thought about selling them? Or do you already?
Thanks, folks.
John MaGee, Wilfred Owen, Sandburg and Frost, and others have had a profound effect on me, but I try to stay away from being deliberately derivative.
Sometimes, though, when I'm thinking about things like flying, I can feel MaGee back in there, in my mind, just exulting in his almost inexpressible joy.
Or I tune into Frost's wry amusement, and studied observations.
Like them, I do this as much for my own enjoyment as for any other purpose. Glad you're with me on that!
Good evening, Mayor. Thank you for being here for us everyday.
Sorry to be so late in getting back. Hope your day was great.
That is lovely, Teenie. Thank you.
Hope your Tuesday was Terrific.
Good evening, Meg. Your GratiTuesday graphic is beautiful Thank you.
Hope your day was great.
:~ }
Thank you, Jaycee.
I found this in my files and enjoyed sharing it again.
Hope your day was wonderful.
Thank you, Teenie. Today's Opener was a fun one to post. So happy that you enjoyed it.
That is such a pretty graphic, Kitty. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Hope your Tuesday was very good.
Wonderful, Jaycee. Thank you.
Have a restful night and pleasant dreams.
Good evening, Conor. Happy GratiTueday.
Thank you for these wonderful children and also for the link to "You Are The New Day". Excellent!!
Good evening, Meg.
If I had posted today's holidays, you would have seen that today is Iris Day. Too many things going on at this time.
Only 3 1/2 week of school left. Looking forward to not setting the alarm for 5:30am. :)
Happy Iris Day!
Thank you NnB for another great poem. I've saved this one to use with this graphic in the future.
Always enjoy your poems.
Good evening, Fish Hawk.
Thank you for your many contributions to Amy's Place. It is always great to see you.
Wishing you a pleasant evening.
(((((Goodnight, and God Bless)))))
I know you will love getting more sleep!
Glad I posted the Iris !
Busy day coming up..I'll see you later.
Happy Wednesday
My grandkids love to play with Legos. These small colorful building blocks capture their imagination for building forts, planes, houses, or whatever the instructions may call for.
Emptying the contents of the box onto the floor, my grandchildren begin to put the pieces together. But soon they think they dont need to consult the directions. This eventually leads to a point when they realize that building according to their own instincts has resulted in a bad outcome. So, they break it apart and start over againbut this time they have a keen sense of how important the directions are.
Do you need the pieces of your life broken apart and put back together according to Gods directions? If you have Jesus Christ as your foundation, begin to follow His blueprint for living. Paul wrote, Let each one take heed how he builds on the foundation (1 Cor. 3:10-11). What is the blueprint? Value others above yourself by humbly serving them (Phil. 2:3-4), give generously of your resources to those in need (James 2:14-17), respond with love to those who have wronged you (Rom. 12:14-21). These are just a few of the pieces that God wants you to put together to build a life that is worthy of being His temple (1 Cor. 3:16).
Read: 1 Corinthians 3:9-17
It is all a gift of God.
We are born into this world,
All we have and are is the gift of God!!!
How merciful and and good is our LORD God! Let us adore and praise him ever! In Jesus name, amen.
How merciful and and good is our LORD God! Let us adore and praise him
ever! In Jesus name, amen And AMEN!
Thank you, geo!
Thanks fore the cute Warm Fuzzy graphic and a precious poem!
*for* NOT fore! I am not golfing!
* Smile *
Thanks, Jaycee. Today's Opener is from 2004 ... and used again in 2005.
I thought since it was good then, everyone might enjoy it again now.
Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.
It is amazing really. Wish I could retain all that I learn. She has recently retired, but the studies are available. It took 2 years to study Hebrews, 2 years to study Daniel, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 2 years, Revelations, 2 years, Judges was one year, Romans 2 years, James, Jude is one page and tool 5 full weeks. if I remember correctly, just finished Joshua, I missed one or two.
Wonderful. I recommend them to all that want to know and understand God's word. I could take them all again and learn as much as I did the first time. It is line upon line and precept upon precept.
As for me I can not absorb it all in one study, even a very in depth two years at a time study. As Paul says ... 'What so ever thing are true, good ...'
Philippians 4:8
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
reminds me of my Mothers adage ... "if you can not say something nice or good about a person place or thing, do not say anything." She actually lived this. I was grown before I realized it, about her.
In this bombastic world this is more difficult all the time.
I started making the windchimes about five years ago when I found a website with plans and charts for the length of each tube for a specific musical note. Sold a bunch to mrsdd's co-workers and made some for friends and family.
Most of those sold were painted solid colors and the stars and stripes chimes were mostly given away. Two years ago I made 14 stars and stripes sets for Gold Star families who attended the So San Joaquin Republican dinner/meeting.
Also sent a set to our nephew when he was serving in Afghanistan. He hung it outside the command post while he was there. It took a real beating from the strong winds that blew. He return it to me when he came home. Paint is all chipped but I hung it near our front door as a reminder to remember our troops.
I haven't made very many lately but decided to make a set for my dr for two reasons. 1. He is an Air Force Veteran and 2. He saved my life.
My mother said the same thing, "If you can't say something
nice about a person, do not say anything." Thats a good
thing to teach our kids today. I sorta have done the same
things for my kids when they were growing up, as my mother did for me!
Do you go to your Bible class weekly?? Sounds like a great
thing to do! Most of us "just don't have the time"...know
what I mean? It really is we do not work it into our lives
as we should all do. I admire your faithfulness very much!
ha Ha Ha! Love it!
I like Mindy's new do. Thanks for sharing such cute, funny graphics. LTOS.
Wishing you a very good WF Wednesday.
;> )
So cute, Luv. Thankyou for this funny WF graphic.
Wishing you a beautiful day.

TRENTON — State consumer affairs officials have filed suit against a home furniture company that allegedly collected thousands of dollars in deposits and payments from customers but failed to deliver the quality products promised.
The lawsuit, filed in state Superior Court in Morris County, claims JLT Millworks Inc. and its principal, Janice Tupper, 44, of Green Brook Township, committed multiple violations of the state Consumer Fraud Act as well as home furniture and furnishings regulations.
The state Division of Consumer Affairs said it has received 12 complaints to date from consumers who say they collectively paid more than $70,000 in non-refundable deposits, representing at least 50 percent of the total cost of the products they sought to purchase.
JLT Millworks — which operated at various times in Mendham, Morris County, and New Brunswick, Middlesex County — allegedly made false promises and representations and failed to issue proper contracts with provisions to protect buyers.
The company advertises that it sells custom-made home furniture and furnishings, including wood flooring, beams, mantels and siding. It also does business as Lumber Jane Millworks, Lumber Jane Wide Plank Flooring, Lumber Jane Barn Beams, Lumber Jane Rustic Mantels and Lumber Jane Antique Barn Siding.
"The alleged legal violations committed by Tupper harmed consumers and our goal is to get consumers refunds or delivery of their merchandise," acting state Attorney General John Hoffman said.
Consumers who believe they have been cheated or scammed can contact the Division of Consumer affairs at or 973-504-6200.

Featured Golf News
Over 160 Million Golf Rounds Played in Europe, Middle East & Africa
KPMG's Golf Advisory Practice has published its Golf Benchmark Survey 2008 for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The report, now in its third year and regarded as one of the most important sources of industry knowledge, analyzes the business performance of golf courses across the EMA region, based on golf courses' performance in the 2007 operating year. This year's report specifically focuses on the number of rounds played and total revenues generated.
More than 1,500 courses in 35 countries participated in the comparative survey which, for the first time, includes figures for the growing North Africa region. Pioneering regional reports for China and South America are also being published as part of the 2008 survey (all reports are available to download free of charge at www.golfbenchmark.com).
The development of the golf market in the EMA region has been remarkable. In the past 20-25 years, the number of courses has been growing by approximately 3 percent annually, while the number of golfers has increased by 5 percent annually. Today there are close to 7,100 regular golf courses across the EMA region and approximately 4.5 million affiliated golfers.
Highlight findings of the Golf Benchmark Survey 2008, include:
* Golf courses in Dubai remain the highest earners in the EMA region, with an average annual turnover exceeding EUR 7 million, a slight increase on last year and four times more than courses in Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands.
* The top five performing regions are the Middle East (EUR 5.8 million), Western Europe (EUR 1.4 million), Benelux (EUR 1.4 million), Central Europe, comprising Germany, Austria and Switzerland (EUR 1.1 million) and Great Britain & Ireland (EUR 933,000), the largest golf market in EMA by share of courses (42 percent) and golfers (33 percent).
* Golf Courses in Eastern Europe recorded the lowest average revenues, EUR 559,000.
* Although growing, the golf market in the Middle East is comparatively small with 26 courses (0.4 percent of the total number of courses in EMA) and 17,900 affiliated players (0.4 percent).
* The estimated total number of rounds of golf played across EMA was 162.5 million.
* The region with the most rounds played was Great Britain and Ireland 75.3 million (46.3 percent), followed by Western Europe 28.5 million (17.5 percent), Central Europe 18.8 million (11.6 percent), Northern Europe 18.2 million (11.2 percent) and South Africa 11.7 million (7.2 percent).
* Golf courses in the Middle East recorded the highest number of rounds played per 18-hole course, averaging 40,237 rounds per year, followed by South Africa 33,575, Benelux 28,092, Great Britain & Ireland 26,853 and Western Europe 25,870.
* However, the number of rounds at top performing 18-hole golf courses is even higher with 49,200 rounds at courses in Western Europe, South Africa 48,743 and Middle East 47,150.
Andrea Sartori, head of KPMG's Golf Advisory Practice in EMA, said of the data: "When comparing revenues and profitability with development costs by region, golf facilities in the Middle East generate the highest average revenues/profit per hole, while this is the region where it costs the most to develop a golf hole, according to our research: EUR 528,000 against the average of EUR 217,000 in the EMA Region."
Other regional highlights include:
* Northern Europe (Scandinavia) - the larger the course, the higher the proportion of member rounds. On 18-hole courses, the number of member rounds is 67 percent, 27-holes 68 percent and 36-holes 73 percent.
* Spanish golf courses are among the best performers in the EMA region in terms of the number of rounds played. The top 20 percent of performers in Spain achieved more than 54,000 rounds on average.
* Swiss golf courses achieved the highest average revenues in Central Europe with EUR 1.4 million, followed by Germany EUR 1.1 million and Austria EUR 1.0 million.
* Great Britain & Ireland - approximately 50 percent of revenues of 18-hole golf courses come from membership and 20 percent from green fees.
Sartori added: "The comparative Golf Benchmark Survey report for EMA and the three new regional reports for China, North Africa and South America, are the culmination of a number of important research projects published this year as part of the Golf Benchmark initiative, including the 'Golf Travel Insight' report and 'The Golf Course Development Cost Survey.' In addition, KPMG published 'The Value of Golf to Europe, the Middle East and Africa,' in cooperation with Oxford Economics. These reports provide unique market intelligence and, as such, can strongly support the industry shareholders' business decisions.
"I would like to thank golf course owners and operators for their invaluable help in compiling the Golf Benchmark Survey 2008 and hope that industry stakeholders will find the information in this report, and our other reports, useful in their business operations. Furthermore, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the sponsors and supporters of the Golf Benchmark initiatives for their continuous support."

The last few days have been a real downer as the country I live in is no longer the country I think it was, and everyone I know here are feeling depressed over what the future holds for the nation. I feel like the kid whose parents are divorcing, and I have no say in the matter (I couldn't vote as I'm still a Swedish national, and believe me, I will remain one now for as long possible), and the fall out from it is going to affect the rest of my life. I'm weirdly more upset than when my actual parents got divorced, but then that was 28 years ago, and my memory probably doesn't serve me very well. But I survived their split, and I know we will survive this one too. Whatever happens, me and my family have each other, and at the end of the day that's all that really matters. And like my brother-in-law said over the weekend, "All we can hope is that the Leave voters were right, and that we were wrong." Time will tell.

Up the canyon
One of my favourite things that we did in LA this time round was hiking Temescal Canyon in the rain. Yes, rain! El Niño changed the weather patterns this year, and so for the first four days it was pouring with rain, but I didn't mind one bit as I've never seen LA so lush - ever. It's such a city of contrasts (on so many levels), and while you have to spend years of your life in traffic, you're also very near nature, be it canyons, deserts, mountains or the ocean. We ended up in the clouds and couldn't see the city at all, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. As LA is pretty empty of parks people use the canyons to the north of the city as their recreational grounds (it's either that or the beach), but on this rainy day there was hardly anyone else there. I will never forget that walk - it's definitely up there as one of the best I've ever taken.

Broadly framed
The Broad is LA's newest museum of contemporary art, where all the art is from a private collection owned by the philanthropists Eli & Edythe Broad. Some seriously rich people! The building itself is really cool, and parts of its architecture worked well as accidental picture frames. If you find yourself in LA, a visit there is a must, and if you go soon, try and catch Ragnar Kjartansson's The Visitors. It was one of the most moving experiences I've ever had looking at art - the lump in my throat must have been the size of a melon... Gulp.

Heart eyes
One of my dearest friends lives in LA. We've been friends for over 20 years and she's the most generous, loving and fun friend you could wish for. It breaks my heart that we live so far apart, but at the same time when we do see each other it's so special, that in a way I wouldn't have it any other way. Anyway, my sister, who now also lives in LA, was expecting her second child back in April, and was having a baby shower, and my BBF thought that I should come out for it - as a surprise. So I went out there for a whole week on my own, without my boys. That meant that I could go and do all those things that they wouldn't be as into, like going to exhibitions, check out stores and have a karaoke session for old times sakes. It was an amazing seven days where I got to reconnect with aspects of myself that I somehow had buried and neglected since motherhood. It was like I got my old self back.

A little big guy called Buddy
Little Mo, and so went with an as opposite a cat as you can get. He may look petite, but in fact, as these pictures are already a couple of months old, it's funny now to see him looking so "small". So first of all he is a he, long haired and a Main Coon, the largest domestic cat breed there is. They are the closest you can get to having a dog without having an actual dog. He plays fetch, follows you around the house all the time and is super social. He simply just wants to be with you, as much as he can. Little Mo was often hiding somewhere, and wouldn't dream of playing with a room full of kids like it was nothing. I still well up sometimes thinking about her, and at one point I did think why on earth are we getting another cat that we will love and lose - again. But I'm hoping that we will have many years of fun with this furry dude, and I'd rather have known him than not at all.

Still here
Oh hey there. That was quite a break... I didn't mean to disappear like that, but I didn't have a great start to the year. I put it down to a mid-life crisis of sorts (I did turn 40 last year after all), and felt that I had to more or less stop everything and start building myself up from scratch again. I ended up putting my camera down, but kept going on Instagram, as it for me is just the light, fluffy, nonsense type of picture taking that I can carry on with, regardless of what else is going on. I'm still not fully connected to my camera yet, but I'm getting there. I still have to get to the point where I carry it with me everywhere again. I'm feeling better now, and I'm actually grateful that I went through what I did as it shook up things up. I was coasting along not realising that I was getting too set in my ways (some of them bad), and that at this point in my life (hopefully half-way through!), it was time for a change. I'll be back with more soon, but I'm not putting any pressure on myself to do so. It's gotta feel right at the end of the day. Life's too short innit.

LAst ones
Et voila - the last of the LA pics. I'm annoyed with myself that I didn't take that many pictures; for years I'd imagined going back there and not giving my camera a rest, but once we arrived I kind of switched off. Which I guess is what makes a trip like this a holiday, haha! Never mind. There's always a next time. Have a great weekend!

A 23-year-old man from Spring Hill, Florida has been charged with theft and dealing in stolen property after he nicked his mother's Nintendo Wii and sold it to buy cigarettes and booze.
Christopher Bayko allegedly stole the Wii last month then sold it to a local pawn shop. When his mother noticed her console was missing, Bayko told her it was "at a friend's house", a lie which didn't hold up too well once she found the receipt for the Wii's sale.
Worst part? He's so stupid he sold it for $US56.
