Don't over think all that stuff. Experiment to find the approximate carb level that lets you lose fat. (Don't weigh or worry about weight.) Start at 50-100 grams carb per day, then adjust. How many carbs should I eat each day?
After dieting for the last 20 years using the "healthy" way if eating (decreased carbs, high fruits and veggies, and low cal/fat foods), ive decided to give primal a try. My husband was introduced to primal a few months ago at work and he was interested. He hasnt cared about weightloss ever.. so I thought if I learned more about primal then we could BOTH do this and help each other! I weighed 290 pounds last April (im 5'7), I now weigh 210. So I have done very well. Im much more active, but for some reason this fat in the mid section is about to drive me crazy. I have seen many transformation blogs about how their bodies changed with primal.. not just the weight. I have read the primal blueprint, Rich food-Poor Food, and many many posts on marks site. But Im just not getting it
Any help would be appreciated. What i get from everything ive read is calories during the day depend on how active you plan on being that day, whether you are really hungry or not, if you are fasting..etc.. I usually eat 1400-1700 calories a day. about 90% clean foods, lots of water, no soda.. Do cardio 3x a week, strength training 2x a week.. Calories and amount of protein and carbs depend on how much lean body mass you have?? Is that right? I dont know how much lean body mass I have. Im very muscular. As a female, I have PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome), which causes me to have triple the testosterone of that of a Man.. One of my instructors said that I will probably gain muscle faster than that of a woman (who knows how correct that is..lol)..
Please help! I want to get this right for my husband! Im excited to try Primal, just feel lost right now!
Any recipe sites? Good ones?
thanks in advance!

Thanks so much! Ive actually been reading alot of posts in this forum since I wrote this first post and its making alot more sense. I am WAY over thinking it! I have found alot of recipes and alot of great ideas about water, other foods, feeling full, and exercise Hope to hang around a little bit
Forget the calories. Use a nutrition tracker like paleotrack.com and eat 65-70% fat, 25% protein, 10% carbs for a few months. Don't eat when you're full or not hungry. Exercise is 1) walk slowly, 2) lift heavy things, 3) sprint to exhaustion once or twice a week. That's enough.
How long do you sprint crypto?
Typical sprint session would be 30 seconds followed by 90 seconds of very slow recovery, repeated 8 times. I do sprints in aqua aerobics class, which is more than aerobics. Also do resistance work.
Anyone can do sprints. If you are in a walker and normally walk 0.5 mph, then maybe 0.75 mph is your sprint.

Good luck in your journey. The advice to restrict carbs is spot on, so be diligent about avoiding carb heavy foods and even for hidden carbs. For example, I eat green peppers but genrally avoid red, yellow and orange-brighter generally translates to more carbs. Your body will adjust, and don't worry about occasional upticks in weight. It happens, but the trend will get you there.
The calories are way too low in my opinion for your current weight plus the fact that you are also doing cardio.
I wrote a nice guide: " how many calories should I eat to lose weight ".
You should calculate your caloric intake the right way and continue doing what you are doing because losing 80 lbs definitely shows that it's working. Also to answer your question on protein, I wrote a guide: "how much protein do I need to build muscle or lose fat", you should also check it out.
Tell us about changes in your diet and body composition. I'll also watch your progress
I am not a bodybuilding/fat loss/strength training "guru" BUT I achieved a lean state with ease after learning the correct way to train and eat and I want to HELP YOU achieve the same.
Getting fit is also about managing your mindset:

The Mamma Mia! star, 27, recently revealed to America's InStyle magazine that she suffers frequent panic attacks before promotional appearances and TV chats and likes to down a shot of liquor ahead of time to calm her nerves - and that's just what she did before sitting down for an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. But an inebriated Seyfried confessed she didn't stop at one. She told the talk show host, "I'm pretty drunk. To be honest with you, Dave, I've had about three (shots). You know, big fan of whiskey... I had some (rare) Midleton. Russell Crowe gave me some Midleton for my birthday... And then your lovely colleagues had some Jameson waiting (backstage) for me." She added, "I have to go on record saying I've never done a live television show... without some kind of liquid courage. "I understand that I have a problem maybe, but you know what, it really gets me through, and I really wanna enjoy my experience out here." Letterman finished the interview by helping Seyfried indulge, toasting the end of the chat with a glass of Jameson.

I prefer the rule that good aligned clerics can only use positive energy in channeling, while evil clerics can only use negative energy. I would even more prefer that evil aligned clerics not be able to utilize cure spells of any kind.
Sounds interesting. Especially if it's free. I'd like to try this out in my home game ( is it PFS legal for Pathfinder Society play ?).
If you do not enjoy pvp speak to your DM. If he does nothing, find another group to adventure with.
Drop the player and his girlfriend from the game. Find replacement player(s). Problem solved.
IF Golarion disappears, maybe I'll have no choice but to go back to D&D 5e. Well, probably not- I still haven't forgiven WotC for 4.0. I'm not a fan of the science fiction based game genre: and I have enough Pathfinder material to keep running games for years to come.
1. Noble Families 2. Civil servants ( town guard, fire, sanitation ) 3. builders 4. merchants 5.religious 6. mages 7. If the town is noted for any special product(s), such as iron working,alchemy,seafaring/dockworkers,crafting of special objects etc. Or: 8. membership might be divided upon racial lines. Or, there might be a member for separate geographical areas. In a town which is democratic, there might be a town council consisting of a member or members from important groups; however, in less democratic areas the ruler(s) might be restricted to one group or overlord.
Would the target of the blindness spell first have to make a spellcraft check in order to recognize the spell being cast on him/her?
Everyone has their own style. As long as he contributes something to the group, I would generally let him play the way he wants. If, however, he does not participate at all in the group's battles, or leaves before he has taken any damage, then this becomes a serious issue. Rogues contribute to the group by flanking and non battle skills such as finding secret doors, trapfinding (especially magical traps),and other perception based skills. The group should not expect a rogue to stand in the heat of combat for long periods unless the circumstances are dire. Also, if the party does not have a strong healer, this increases the risk to all party members and the rogue would feel even more threatened since he has fewer HP. The rogue should be aware,however, that leaving the group during a battle has the potential to put himself in an alone and exposed position. Finally, the notion that a group can never all retreat in order to regroup or plan new tactics can be a serious or sometimes fatal error.
Mindless undead have only an overwhelming hatred of, and/or hunger for, the living . They exist only to kill and do not have the mind for sophisticated tactics. They are largely unconcerned with any defensive tactics, as their hunger is so great. They are not fearful of dying as they have already died. They do not plan or cooperate with one another as each ones own hatred and hunger make each one want to kill or feed so badly as to preclude any cooperation.
When I DM,mindless undead use no tactics. They simply attack the nearest living creature unless they have previously been given a simple command to do otherwise. If there are more than one living creature equidistant, they will randomly attack those nearest. They will continue to attack their target until the target is slain,ignoring attacks on them by other PC's.If the undead are numerous and all or many have the same PC target, they may inadvertently gain flanking as they surround their target.
No one is forcing you to be in this group. If you are uncomfortable, bid them goodbye and find a group more to your liking.
If I was the DM, i'd go with the flow or give the flow a nudge, Let the skulls start speaking or communicating with party members in some way (or as a player you could use ventriloquism if you wanted to arrange this with the DM). The skulls could be used to give the group information, suggestions, or to lead the group into certain encounters. This might work as sort of a 'speak with dead' :but, if so, the DM should be aware of the alignment and motives of the dead,so as to weigh the information that they give to party.This could lead to a whole new tangent of adventures for the party.
Was this a Pathfinder Society scenario or a home game? PFS scenarios have specified monsters/opponents dependent upon the group's average level. The opponent's specific tactics and DC checks needed to change the opponents attitude towards the group are specified for the opponents. I have found it very unusual for one PFS encounter to last three hours. Diplomatically ask your DM to explain why the encounter lasted so long in real time; and let the DM know that you didn't have fun in this situation. Did others at the table feel the same way? if this was a home game made up and run by the DM then you should expect greater diversity as to style of play. In any case it is important to have a courteous discussion about this with your DM.
You've answered your own question. Save or dies almost guarantee short character lifespans. Character death should be possible, maybe even with a higher probability than at present; however, save or die effects make it highly probable.
My characters are almost never optimized.I'm just happy to be able to play fun and challenging games with a group of players who generally cooperate. As far as I am concerned, players should be able to make the character they want as long as they cooperate with the group and not actively sabotage or undermine team game play. Nor does it matter to me whether group tactics are optimized or most efficient as long as a TPK is avoided. I have found that there are many ways to have fun playing as long as the group is not severely divided, argumentative or vindictive. When I play clerics, I have no qualms about healing or buffing team mates or using my resources to help my group. Let's not get all worked up over issues that have no one all inclusive "right answer". Happy gaming to all.
You appear to be putting yourself into a situation where you are being bullied and abused. The choice to leave the group is always open- even if no other group appears to be immediately available. The options of playing via computer group or at a convention are additional possibilities. Or, either you or your DM might want to start a second group which would not be open to the bully.
Speak to the players and the DM prior to your next game. If the issue cannot be resolved to your satisfaction via discussion and compromise, find another group.
Unless the player of the dead character was an absolute jerk, or the character died because of his players total stupidity,I would do my best to effect his character's resurrection ( assuming the player wished to have his character resurrected ). I have found this to be the case in all the PFS groups I have played with.
When I DM, especially in home games. I do not tend to specifically describe creatures by name , but rather by appearance,unless I am aware that the monster they are facing is extremely common or of a type they have specifically previously fought.
As a DM, I generally adjust the DC of the roll upwards or downwards anywhere from plus two to minus two depending upon the situation and the players action. In diplomatic situations, I try to take such factors as character race, social status or class, and whether characters know one another or have a particularly good or poor reputation into consideration.I would add that I use this method much more in home games, not in PFS games; where I generally use the written DC.
You do seem to be set on the vampire escaping. Just be ready for a lot of player anger if you let it get away through the solid ground. Perhaps it could escape through a small floor grating that leads to a thin pipe, or a chimney. Perhaps its lair could have many trapped holes in the wall and only one is the real emergency exit. Perhaps the coffin contains an illusory vampire; but the real one is in a coffin/secret compartment below the assumed coffin. Strictly interpret the solid ground rule but be creative in the use of trickery to mislead the players if you intend for the vampire to escape. Vampires are quite cunning and can be used as a continuing nemesis.
In home games I always let the players choose height and weight; but within reason Ex; no nine foot tall humans with reach.
If a character melee attacks without a weapon (assuming the character does not have a special ability or class ability or spell or granted power which would enable the character to do lethal damage as if using a weapon), the character does non lethal damage and will be subject to an opportunity by the intended target.
Seems like a dumb move to me. But, then again, since when has Wizards of the Coast been noted for its smart moves, or listening to/ consulting its audience. Over the years, they shut down both Dungeon and Dragon magazines, suddenly ended 3.5 D&D and launched the 4.0 disaster. Now, they hardly support 5.0. They should have stuck to Magic the Gathering instead of entering the role playing game business which they apparently know little about and care less.
On the general topic of rise and possible fall of companies and systems: what is going on with Pathfinder Online? From what I have heard, Goblinworks has had mass layoffs and is struggling to keep its head above water, or to possibly sell off to another company. Does anyone have further info from what was last posted on their website?
In Pathfinder Society play, i've had one of a dozen characters die. It's not enjoyable; but that is the risk a character in the game has to take. I make it a point to refuse re-rolls as well as resurrection or raising of any of my characters. I guess i'm stubbornly old school.
Our groups have used the following suggestions in order to increase the number of available G.M.'s: i.give gm preference to play at an upcoming event. 2. Have the group provide the GM either with free snacks or a token payment. Possibly the game store might be willing to provide a small store credit.Paizo also extends certain privileges to G.M.'s : see the Paizo board.
Thanks for all your dedication and good work. Wishing you the best of luck in whatever you choose to do in the future.
As far as I am concerned, this is a tempest in a teapot. I have never found a PFS DM to use blatantly unfair tactics against players. If anything, I feel that most DM's go out of their way to avoid killing player characters.
A CHA 1 character would not be able to effect his groups actions in any way. He would be passive in terms of his own actions other than self defense. NPC's, in many cases, would view him as an immediate alien and bizarre threat and would probably attack him on sight. In this respect his character would indirectly be very harmful to the group. After all, most "normal" people don't associate with oozes or zombies. This character is essentially harmful to the group and to gameplay. Why the DM would allow this is beyond me. The character should be either retired, changed by wish or miracle, or killed off by the local populence. If this continues, this is an example of gross DM error.
I am considering joining Pathfinder Online but have an old computer. What are the minimum computer requirements?
Perhaps Roleplay Instead of Counting Excessively?
Machines and technology. Invention. Science. Constructs. Gnomes should love this. Perhaps the diety is "Deep Blue".
I greatly appreciate all the work done by 4 and 5 star GMs. I don't know what percentage of the total number of Pathfinder Society games are run by 4 or 5 star GM's: but I would hazard a guess that this is a significant portion of total PFS games, Thus, I believe that these GM's are an extremely important part of the Pathfinder Society and I do not begrude them any special or additional perks they may obtain, even if I am not eligible for these perks. Having GM'ed a few games, I know first hand the time and effort needed to fill the role of GM.
Post the city or town in which you live. Someone might be able to refer you to a game in your geographical area. Or, contact the Venture Captain for your area (listed on Paizo boards ).
I think it a good idea that players and DM's can choose either CORE only or an expanded version which includes additional options. I see three advantages to the core version: easier to learn, easier to DM, and less power gaming. Additionally, for those playing in Pathfinder Society play, it enables a player to play the same scenario twice: in core and expanded versions. On the other hand, the expanded version provides an opportunity for players to form more types of characters with more unique backgrounds, skills, feats, etc. Neither option excludes the other: and I think that those players who begin playing Core only will later move on to the expanded version. I think that it will be interesting, in a year or so, to evaluate as to how many players are using each system, and to compare the growth rate of new players into PFS with that of the year prior to its introduction.
Personally, I think that Pathfinder Society should allow only lawful evil, lawful neutral and neutral alignment for the Cheliax faction, since that faction is inherently lawful evil. Similarly, Silver Crusade should allow only lawful good, neutral good, and lawful neutral since that faction is inherently lawful good. Only Cheliax should be allowed to play an evil alignment;but this should also involve a charisma penalty when interacting with all non-Cheliax factions.
If you play Pathfinder as a home game, your DM can adjust the perameters, setting, and rewards the players receive so as to customize the game more to the group's liking. Thus, your group could have either a higher or lower level magic using campaign. If you play in Pathfinder Society organized play, I have found that the amount of magic, while available, is limited in comparison with other worldwide systems. I distinctly remember the days of "Living City" or "Living Grayhawk" in which players came to play armed with loose leaf binders full of certs for multitudes of magic items. No system is perfect; however Pathfinder is quite enjoyably playable. One more thing- Pathfinder Society organized play is in the process of instituting a CORE version as a separate option in which all players who participate in this option use the CORE rulebook only. This makes the game both easier to learn: and restricts higher powered classes, magic items, feats etc.
I recently tried 5.0 at a game convention. It was better than 4.0; but not as good as Pathfinder, which offers a much wider range of choices/options for your character. As a D.M. I enjoy Pathfinder's varied and well supported settings for adventures.
I am looking forward towards trying out PFO once regular enrollment starts and the bugs are ironed out. I am not very computer savvy, have poor eyesight, and almost of my experience has been in tabletop, non PvP gaming. I would enjoy a game enviornment in which I can explore and craft. Whether I will continue in PFO will be dependent upon whether I can find at least a small niche in the game and whether the PvP aspect is so onerous and intimidating that it drives me away. Anyway, for what that's worth, that's my 2 cp.
I believe that if there is no chance of character death the game becomes more boring and meaningless. I have had two of my own 11 PFS characters die- one at level 2 and one at level six. Though I was saddened by their demise, I chose NOT to have them resurrected. I still remember them well. Looking back upon the reasons for their demise, I feel, has taught me to be a somewhat better, less impulsive, and more effective player and character builder. And, to realize that- as in life- sometimes the luck of the dice just isn't with you so you must bear your fate with grace. This is not to say that scenarios should be total meat grinders; but even in the most challenging scenarios I would hazard a guess that the death rate probably is not more than 10-15% Maybe i've been lucky ( or blessed with generous D.M's ); but I have never been involved in a table which has been a tpk.
My advice would be to play a few more games and see if you have fun in those games. Everyone makes mistakes at times. No one is forcing you to play games with a particular D.M. Also, since you mention that you have had rather extensive experience with a number of different game systems, you might, in the future, consider becoming a PFS D,M. yourself. It certainly gives a different perspective from the other side of the table.
GP can be exchanged for platinum pieces, reducing weight. Also, purchase a handy haversack.
In organized play, all Pathfinder Society members must speak common. If they did not, or especially if they outright refused during their training period, they never would have been allowed to become Pathfinders in the first place since this would hamper their group's missions. If, after being admitted to the society, they became permanently disabled and could not be cured, they would be retired/pensioned by the society. In a home game, however, I would allow the player to impose this large disadvantage upon himself if he/she chose to do so.
This can open up many different plots and avenues for role playing. For example, what if the NPC bed partner is actually a spy, a thief, or the wife/ husband of an important and influential NPC ? What if the affair becomes common knowledge/ town gossip. How will this effect the group's reputation in the community ot the community's willingness to cooperate with the group? This doesn't even take into consideration the consequences of an affair with a non human, magical, or demonic being.Go with the flow as it can lead to a more interesting game.
PFS scenarios for seasons 4&5 have shown increased challenge and are harder for the unoptimized and/or inexperienced players. I think the present difficulty level is about right; but if the great majority of players express an interest for more challenging scenarios, PFS could rule that no treasure or items which are found during the scenario can be used in the scenario and must be "bought" after the scenario is completed. Or, to revive an old "living" rule, make listed treasure on the sheet unavailable after the completion of three further scenarios. Or, to lower the GP value of items available through use of prestige point purchases. Any of these changes would decrease the type/amount of equipment available to players thus making them less powerful and making the encounters they face more challenging. I doubt, however that the majority of players are interested in decreasing their character's power to enable even more challenging scenarios.

St Albans is a suburb 15 km north-west of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Brimbank. At the 2006 Census, St Albans had a population of 33,511.
St Albans' main commercial and shopping precinct is located on Main Road West, Main Road East, Alfrieda Street, the railway station and East Esplanade. It has become a very multicultural area with 53.5% of residents being born overseas and has a high proportion of non-English speaking background residents. The postcode is 3021.
St Albans is a large, primarily residential suburb in Melbourne's outer west. The area is multiculturally diverse, with large numbers from the former Yugoslavia, Vietnam and Malta. The major commercial area is around the railway station, which is also the terminus for the suburban railway line. St Albans features the Victoria University of Technology - St Albans Campus, the Western Hospital and the Jamieson St, International Gardens, McKechnie and Churchill Reserves.
St Albans was first established as a township in 1887 and originally subdivided by the Metropolitan Land and Development Co. Pty. Ltd. who had acquired nearly in the hope of a quick financial gain during that period's land boom. The town was promoted as an attractive location for professionals who had easy rail access to central Melbourne and adjoining suburbs with a recently constructed railway station platform attracting potential homeowners to industry in nearby locations. St Albans Post Office opened on 22 October 1888.
Development of St Albans suddenly slowed with the economic depression of the late 1890s and did not restart in large numbers until after World War II, with the influx of displaced people and continuing through the 1950s and 1960s with the influx of European migrants in response to the Australian Government's gradual relaxation of its White Australia Policy in 1947, 1957 & 1958.
During the depression 1890s many local farm properties did well, especially when the farmers commenced the dairying of cattle. Horses were also being trained locally for the Melbourne Cup and the Caulfield Guineas, some were successful.
St Albans remained geographically isolated from other suburbs, with large areas of open land between it and other suburbs, until the 1980s.
St Albans is now considered to be a middle-city suburb as the Melbourne Metropolitan area boundary now extends to over 35 km from the Melbourne CBD.

A sense of assertiveness today may lead you to take the risk of asking for more from your relationships. When you come from a place of self-assuredness, you know that you deserve more and are willing to move on in order to receive more. So often the desire to be in a relationship makes us hide part of ourselves to be accepted by another. But it is only when we stand in the truth of who we are that we can attract the best relationships for us. So while it may seem like a risk to ask another to grow with you and join you in claiming the fullness of your true self, it is only an illusion. If you allow your partnership to limit your potential, then it is not fulfilling its purpose of supporting your ability to grow fully into the best you can become. By being self-assured and assertive, you know you are able to learn and grow from any circumstance or relationship, and you are ready to claim your good from them today.
Being assertive is having the strength to stand confidently in your truth while you ask for and claim all you deserve. And truly, each of us deserves the best, but so many of us settle for less. Experience may have taught us to accept certain limitations, but they are illusions. By embracing the fullness of your being today, your self-assuredness helps you see and attract into your life all you truly deserve.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) - Sierra Leone's rebels freed 139 of more than 500 U.N. personnel held captive into Liberian custody, Liberia's President Charles Taylor said Sunday, after U.N. officials secured the release of 18 others.
Taylor said 15 of the freed captives had been flown by helicopter to Monrovia, while the remaining 124 were waiting to be evacuated from the Liberian border town of Foya.
There was no immediate U.N. confirmation of the report., although Taylor briefly introduced an Associated Press reporter to two smiling but tired-looking men wearing new uniforms whom the president said were freed Kenyan and Zambian peacekeepers.
West African and U.N. officials stood by silently during the meeting in the living room of Taylor's presidential mansion.
Taylor said the freed peacekeepers had been held in Sierra Leone's eastern Kailahun district.
Taylor, who had been asked by regional leaders to mediate with the rebels, lashed out at the United States, whom he said had refused to offer air transport to evacuate the captives.
Instead, he said the captives had been forced to trek for nearly three days through heavily forested eastern Sierra Leone to Liberia.
Taylor also warned that continued attacks by Sierra Leone's pro-government forces against the rebels "threaten the lives" of the remaining U.N. personnel held captive.
"The attacks on the Revolutionary United Front could not only hamper the mediation work by the Liberian team but also end the lives of the hostages," Taylor said.
Earlier Sunday in Freetown, the rebels handed over 18 U.N. peacekeeper, but the guerrillas also reportedly attacked a key highway junction east of the capital as clashes continued in the nation's reignited civil war.
David Wimhurst, a U.N. spokesman in Freetown said the captives - 11 Indian troops and seven unarmed military observers of various nationalities - were released to U.N. soldiers at Kailahun.
The handover did not mean those peacekeepers were entirely safe. Rebels continued to surround the U.N. peacekeeping contingent in Kailahun, Wimhurst said.
The commander of the U.N. force, Vijay Jetley, said the freed captives were in good physical condition and had not been harmed by the rebels. "This gives us a glimmer of hope for the future," Jetley said of the releases.
The released peacekeepers were among more than 500 members of a U.N. force who were disarmed and taken into custody by the Revolutionary United Front rebels when they ended a 10-month peace and restarted Sierra Leone's civil war earlier this month.
In their eight-year campaign against various governments, the RUF rebels have killed tens of thousands and intentionally mutilated and dismembered many more men, women and children in a bid to gain power through intimidation. Last July, they signed a peace deal giving rebel leaders top government posts and amnesty for war atrocities. The U.N. peacekeepers were sent to Sierra Leone to oversee that peace accord.
But the rebels damaged the accord by taking peacekeepers hostage. Then, a week ago, they opened fire on unarmed demonstrators outside rebel chief Foday Sankoh's home. Thirteen civilians and six soldiers were killed.
In the days since, thousands of residents of towns near the capital have fled into Freetown, fearing renewed fighting.
On Sunday, rebels and pro-government forces battled for control of Masiaka town, a key road junction some 30 miles east of the capital, U.N. officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity. By noon, government troops retook the town for the second time in 24 hours, the officials said.
The fragile pro-government alliance includes ex-junta soldiers once allied to the RUF rebels and ragtag traditional hunter militiamen known as Kamajors. After both its victories on Saturday and Sunday, the troops staged raucous celebrations, arguing among themselves and firing guns in the air, said journalists traveling with the troops. No civilians were visible in the town.
In another development, Britain, Sierra Leone's former colonial ruler, reaffirmed that its troops would not get sucked into the civil war. Britain has contributed some 700 paratroopers, but only to help U.N. peacekeepers, pro-government militiamen and ex-army soldiers protect the airport and organize a defense of the capital.
The British mission was originally intended to evacuate its expatriates from Freetown. That goal has been largely accomplished.
Gen. Charles Guthrie, Britain's chief of Defense Staff, flew into Freetown on Sunday from Senegal to evaluate the British mission, saying its objective was unchanged.
"Our job here is to evacuate people, to secure this airfield and though we are not part of the United Nations (peacekeeping force), to give help to U.N. forces," Guthrie said. He declined to answer questions about whether the British were preparing for a possible offensive role.
Many residents of Freetown have pleaded with the British troops to stay. The British contingent has given pro-government forces confidence that they have a safe rear guard in Freetown against the rebels.
"The United Nations, they really let us down. But with the British we are safe," said Michael Cesay, a security guard at a Freetown church.

Iraqi Shiite cleric lends support to Sunni protest
BAGHDAD -- A top anti-American Shiite cleric gave support Tuesday to Sunni protesters who have been rallying against Iraq's Shiite-dominated central government, increasing pressure on the leadership in Baghdad.
Hard-line religious leader Muqtada al-Sadr told reporters in the Shiite holy city of Najaf that the demonstrators have the right to protest as long as they are peaceful.
He stopped short of calling for a wider uprising like those that have rippled across the region over the past two years, but warned of further unrest if demands on the street are not met.
"Beware of the Arab Spring in Iraq," the firebrand cleric said in a warning to the power-sharing government led by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite.
Thousands of protesters have been holding rallies in the western desert province of Anbar and other Sunni strongholds for more than a week.
The demonstrations follow the arrest of bodyguards assigned to the Sunni finance minister, Rafia al-Issawi, though they tap into deeper Sunni grievances of perceived discrimination by al-Maliki's government. The protesters' demands include guarantees of better government services and release of prisoners in Iraqi jails.
Al-Sadr has a complex relationship with Baghdad and with Iraqi blocs outside his conservative Shiite power base.
He grudgingly backed longtime rival al-Maliki after elections in 2010, then in 2012 joined Iraq's minority Sunni Arabs and Kurds in calling for al-Maliki to resign. Al-Sadr's loyalists hold 40 seats in parliament and retain control of several government ministries.

CCAFS-backed Study Reassesses Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture
18 March 2014: A study published in Nature Climate Change finds that moderate warming will be more detrimental to crops in temperate and tropical regions than previously thought. In 'A Meta-Analysis of Crop Yield under Climate Change and Adaptation,' the authors find that, with warming of two degrees Celsius and without adaptation measures, the mean yields of wheat, rice and maize are reduced in these regions from the 2030s onwards.
The Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had largely projected yield increases in temperate regions for local mean temperature rises up to two degrees Celsius, but, according to the Nature article, there is a greater risk for yield decreases than previous data had shown. The authors' data set builds on one created for the AR4, doubling the number of studies to include more than 1,700 published simulations. A large part of the data presented in the study is reproduced in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).
The findings suggest that the negative impacts on crop production can be at least partially mitigated by adaptation. The study also finds that yield variability on a year-to-year basis is likely to increase with time. However, the authors note that most studies have examined mean yield, making it difficult to draw conclusions on year-to-year variability.
The study was supported by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) EQUIP Programme, with the financial assistance of the EU, the Canadian International Development Agency, the World Bank, and the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Danida.

text: We didn't see this one coming at all. As per the terms of a recent class-action lawsuit, Sprint-Nextel has begun to unlock its phones for use on other carriers. Unlocking is common practice in the GSM world, but this is the first time that an American CDMA wireless company has agreed to unlock their hardware. This process will theoretically allow unlocked Sprint phones to work on other CDMA networks, including Verizon, but it remains to be seen if Verizon and other carriers will allow the use of foreign hardware on their radio waves. Sprint will also allow unlocked phones from other providers to function as Sprint handsets. The company has already begun the process, and is currently training its employees on the finer details. While this doesn't quite allow the same level of freedom as an unlocked GSM phone, it's still great news for anyone feeling trapped with their current CDMA provider. Nice job, Sprint.

Warning: this book contains Serious Issues. You've also been warned that there aren't any angels, zombies, vampires, demons, or changelings. No one has supernatural superhero powers. It isn't set in the future and there has not been an apocalypse. Still interested? Yes! I loved this. Shine by Lauren Myracle is a realistic, gritty and powerful coming of age story that is raw and emotional but also completely worthwhile.
After Cat's friend Patrick is brutally assaulted, marked with a gay slur, and left for dead at a gas station in their hometown of Black Creek, NC she decides to figure out who could have done something so horrible. The sheriff is investigating, but seems sure that it was outsiders - just someone passing through. At face value, this book is a mystery. Cat sets out to interview people who were with Patrick the night of the attack to establish a timeline and she tries to determine motive. Patrick was friends with many people in town who were also uncomfortable to some degree with his homosexuality.
But really the heart of this book isn't so much figuring out who did it, but how the characters come to terms with the resolution. Cat also has to face her own demons in this process. I liked that she wasn't a superhero, but a girl who got kind of messed up and is really trying to do the right thing.
The National Book Award finalists were announced last week and cover fiction, non-fiction, poetry and young adult literature written by an American author. In the original announcement, Lauren Myracle's Shine was mistakenly announced as a finalist for the young adult literature category instead of Chime by Franny Billingsley. The National Book Awards admitted to the mistake right away and made an announcement that Shine would remain on the list due to it's literary strength. But in a new shocking twist this week, The National Book Awards has asked Myracle to withdraw from the shortlist.

Inked Digital Dream Girl: Ilaria Pozzi
Ilaria Pozzi
We expand our horizon this week with the lovely Italian tattooed model Ilaria Pozzi. In this photo shoot by Corrado Dalcò, the enchantress from the boot pairs her collection of ink with a striking coquettish expression. Much like her, the shoot is raw, elegant and timeless. "I am inspired by every era," she says of her American Traditional tattoos, her throwback hairdo and fashion-forward make-up. "Sincerely I don't know why people are drawn to my work," she says when asked about her renown, which is demure for sure as is the overall package including her newest pice "a bone riding a frog" on her left leg. Her turn-offs? "Haughty and useless people." Her biggest thrill, "Without any planning to go to a place that I don't know and see what happens." Cross your fingers it is your hometown next.

Britney Spears has washed her weave and purtied up her face after some harsh feedback from her X Factor boss Simon Cowell.
Sources from the US show say the unkempt singer rolled out of bed and rocked up to a taping without a bra early on in the series, prompting Simon to lay down the dress-code law.
"It was made clear she is expected to be impeccably dressed and made-up for the show. And none of those ragged hair extensions," an on-set source told the New York Post.
X Factor reps have denied reports that Brit was also ordered to sack her stylist, but apparently she's been looking fabulous ever since Simon's style intervention.
Fix yo' weave! Simon Cowell doesn't want Brit's dodgy hair extensions to get any airtime.

To the Editor: Dr Reignier and colleagues1 provided evidence that not measuring residual gastric volume and adjusting enteral nutrition except in the case of vomiting or regurgitation (intervention group) did not negatively affect clinical outcomes compared with checking residual gastric volume 4 times per day and adjusting enteral feeding rates if the volume exceeded 250 mL (control group). The conclusion given by the authors that monitoring residual gastric volume should be discontinued in all patients receiving mechanical ventilation and early enteral nutrition is, in our opinion, an overstatement, because we believe that the external validity of the trial is limited.

When it comes to ranking quarterbacks going into the 2014 fantasy football season, it doesn't take an "expert consensus" to know which Holy Trinity stands out above the rest. In some order, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees will go 1-2-3 off the board in every reasonably sane league.
After them, however, it gets a lot more interesting. As if just figuring out the No. 4 quarterback wasn't hard enough, when you start digging deeper, you will need to sort out a slew of sleepers.
In the first of our special positional preseason editions of The Decider, we're here to help you figure out the toughest QB decisions in your upcoming draft.

Matthew Stafford or Nick Foles? We start with a pair of unkempt Texas gunslingers who wear No 9. They also are both loaded with weapons in two of the league's most diverse attacks. The Lions gave Stafford a pair of efficiency experts in coach Jim Caldwell and coordinator Joe Lombardi. They also gave him a pair of complementary targets to Calvin Johson in Golden Tate and Eric Ebron. We also like getting Reggie Bush and Theo Riddick as dangerous tertiary targets.
For Chip Kelly and the Eagles, Foles loses DeSean Jackson but gains Darren Sproles, Jordan Matthews, a healthy Jeremy Maclin and a readier Zach Ertz. Both Stafford and Foles can put up huge numbers, but Stafford gets the slight edge because he'll have higher volume. The Lions can't and won't run as well as the top-rushing Eagles, and as the lesser team, they'll catch themselves trailing with a few more shootouts.

The mission of the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) is to foster the competitiveness of Brazilian companies by promoting their internationalization and the attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI) into Brazil. Apex-Brasil is a Brazilian government agency that reports to the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC).
Apex-Brasil currently supports about 13,000 companies from 81 sectors of the Brazilian economy, which export to more than 200 markets. In partnership with sector associations, the Agency organizes trade promotion initiatives, such as prospective and trade missions, business rounds, support to the participation of Brazilian companies in major international fairs and customized tours to foreign buyers and opinion-makers introducing them to the Brazilian productive structure. Apex-Brasil also releases business and competitive intelligence studies which play a critical role in the decision of Brazilian companies to enter the international market.
Besides its headquarters in Brasilia, Apex-Brasil has Desks in Brazilian states and Business Support Centers (BSCs) around the world. These BSCs serve as platforms to assist Brazilian companies in expanding their businesses to global markets, to explore new business opportunities, to increase Brazil's market share in key global markets, and to serve as a benchmark for foreign investment attraction.
BSCs are strategically located in Asia (Beijing - China), Middle East (Dubai - United Arab Emirates), North America (Miami - USA), Central America and the Caribbean (Havana - Cuba), Western Europe (Brussels - Belgium), Eastern Europe (Moscow - Russia) and Africa (Luanda - Angola). Next to the Brussels BSC is the Brazilian Business Affairs (BBA), an Apex-Brasil office established to monitor trends and decisions of the European Union that may affect Brazilian exports.
Apex-Brasil plays a leading role in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) into Brazil, working to identify business opportunities, promoting strategic events and lending support to foreign investors willing to allocate resources in Brazil. The aim is to attract productive capital from foreign companies that may introduce technological innovations and new business management models into Brazil and to strengthen supply chains. Apex-Brasil leads the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA).

By Dave Sigworth, publicist of The Maritime Aquarium
Now that spring is here, life has returned to our salt marshes. Stand along the edge of a salt marsh and it may seem that the whole muddy shoreline is moving.
The muck seems to be alive, as the blackness quivers, tinged with little waving yellow flecks. Get too close, though, and it suddenly stops.
You don't need your eyes (or head) examined. You've merely come upon a skittish cast of fiddler crabs.
The Atlantic marsh fiddler crab (Uca pugnax) likes nothing better than a big soggy tract of tidal mud. The crabs dig burrows, which they use for resting, mating, safety and hibernating. They eat the mud too – well, they eat the tiny bits of fungus, algae, microbes and other organisms in the mud. What they don't digest is deposited back as little mud balls.
Because all their digging helps to aerate the marsh, fiddler crabs are great for the health of Long Island Sound's salt marshes. And they are a nutritious meal for herons, egrets, raccoons, blue crabs and other marsh predators. (Fishermen also use them as bait, especially when they're fishing for tautogs, redfish and sheepshead.)
Fiddler crabs generally aren't much more than an inch or so across, with two long slender eyestalks.
Fiddler crabs, of course, are easily identified by the adult males, which grow one ridiculously large claw – an adaptation that developed to help them attract females. A bigger claw gets the girl. The large claw, called the chela, can be either the male's left or right.
And why are they called fiddler crabs? When a male feeds, the back-and-forth movement of its small claw (from the ground to its mouth) near its large claw resembles the motion of someone moving a bow across a fiddle.
If you don't want to go marsh-muckin' in search of fiddler crabs, you can find them in The Maritime Aquarium's Salt Marsh gallery.

Four years after a political scandal sidelined his career, former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is heading back to Congress.
Sanford won his old congressional seat Tuesday, with 54 percent of the vote against Democratic rival Elizabeth Colbert Busch.
"We put up a heck of a fight, didn't we?" Colbert Busch told a crowd of supporters in Charleston. "The people have spoken, and I respect their decision."
Sanford left politics in 2009 after admitting he'd traveled to Argentina to visit his mistress, a woman he's now engaged to. He was forced to pay a $70,000 ethics fine for financing the trip with public funds, and his wife, Jenny, divorced him.
"I am one imperfect man saved by God's grace," the Republican told about 100 cheering supporters Tuesday. "It's my pledge to all of you going forward, I'm going to be one of the best congressmen I could have ever been."
Sanford says the grace extended to him by South Carolina voters was a reflection of God's grace.

Numerous paintings by Puerto Rican-American artist Jose Camacho will be featured in the gallery at Building 1P.
"The subject matter deals with Puerto Rican heritage, culture and history," said the 44-year-old Camacho, of Montclair, N.J. "There's a lot of text in the paintings that come from Puerto Rican literature, as well as different prayers."
Fifteen works featuring words and images will hang on the gallery's walls. The exhibit is open to the public Monday to Thursday, noon to 4 p.m., and Saturday, noon to 3 p.m.
"They are particularly rich in their layered allusions to the religious and political beliefs popular in contemporary Puerto Rico," say organizers. "These tropes are explored through such charged monuments as massive cemeteries and idioms of colloquial language. In a group of works, the minimalist outline map of Puerto Rico becomes a powerful expressive form of nationalist myths and realities for Camacho."
Craig Manister, CSI gallery director, said the largest item in the show is a black work that has the imprint of the Island of Puerto Rico, which can be found in several of the pieces.
Born in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, Camacho picked up drawing at a young age, but it wasn't until he was 19 that he decided to be a painter and artist.
"I think this is a great opportunity. It gives me exposure in a different state and at a different level. I love the space. It's a beautiful gallery," said Camacho. "It's another step forward."
While the gallery opens to the public today, an opening reception featuring Camacho will occur next Wednesday, Feb. 20, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the gallery.
For more information on Camacho's works, visit www.josecamacho.com. For additional details on events at CSI, including the gallery, visit www.csitoday.com.

You are very welcome Candice!
As Tony Horton says (over an over on the DVDs) just 'do your best and forget the rest' which is pretty good advice. It doesn't matter where you are now or how you got there the important thing is that you are taking control now and making positive changes. Had you asked me 10 months ago as I was ready to begin P90X if I though it was even possible for me to get in the shape I am in today I would probably have said no. P90X can really change your life so just show up, press play and bring it!

But as backward as things were for the Hopewell-Loudon junior, he still managed to fire a 12-over 83 Friday at the Division III boys state golf tournament.
The best part for him was that a lot of scores on the big board were higher than his as the Ohio State University Scarlet Golf Course played long and fast for a lot of players.
"It was an up-and-down round. You would think you had some momentum and then the next hole it'd go away right away," Gorrell said. "It was a grind. The greens were really tough and some of the pins were really brutal. You just had to stay in there. I didn't play well (Friday) but I have (today) to make it up."
At the end of the day, it left Gorrell tied for 19th overall with three other players. He's four strokes off the pace for 10th place, which would earn him All-Ohio honors.
Powell Village Academy's Jeg Coughlin shot a 73 to lead the two-day tournament.
Gorrell's strengths lie in his short game and his putter. On Friday, those abilities abandoned him at times. However, his driver usually is the weakest club in his bag. But on the first day of the tourney, outside of one hole, it was one of his best clubs.
"Normally his strong suit is his short game and he just wasn't getting them close today. He had a bunch of three putts. He was putting himself in some bad positions out there," Hopewell-Loudon coach Bob Maurer said. "(Thursday) in the practice round he was getting it up there close but (Friday) he just didn't have it. He was hitting the fairways more than he normally does. I don't know if it was nerves or what today."
Gorrell started his day well enough. Teeing off at No. 10, the junior parred three of his first four holes. But then things got messy. No. 14 turned into a bogey and No. 15 unraveled quickly. His tee shot nearly hit a house out of bounds down the left side of the hole. His second shot went way right. When it was all said and done, he finished with his nicest putt of the day, a 20-footer to save triple bogey.
"The drive was pretty bad. I was playing pretty decent up until then. I just hit a really bad drive that went out of bounds and then hit the second one really bad," Gorrell said. "(The long made putt) definitely helped going into the next hole. I don't think I would have been able to come back if I had missed that."
From there, he finished his back nine with three straight pars.
But as he began the front nine, the putter and short irons started to betray him. Bogeys opened the first three holes before two pars. Nos. 6 and 7 were back to bogeys before a par on No. 8. He finished his day with a three-putt double bogey.
"He kept his temper under control and didn't blow up," Maurer said. "(Today) we get him a little closer and make some putts and he'll be right back in the hunt."
The junior knows what he has to do today.
"If I shoot a good round (today), I can really come back from it," Gorrell said.

I Was Born This Wayby David Ritz Carl Bean
In I Was Born This Way, Carl Bean, former Motown recording artist, noted AIDS activist, and founder of the Unity Fellowship of Christ Church in Los Angeles, shares his extraordinary personal journey from Baltimore foster homes to the stage of the Apollo Theater and beyond.CARL BEAN has been crossing boundaries all his life and helping others do the same. He's never been stopped by his race or orientation, never fit or stayed in the boxes people have wanted to put him in. He left his foster home in Baltimore at seventeen and took the bus to New York City, where he quickly found the rich culture of the Harlem churches. As a singer, first with the gospel Alex Bradford Singers and later as a Motown recording artist, Bean was a sensation. When Berry Gordy signed him to record "I Was Born This Way," it was a first: the biggest black-owned record company broadcasting a statement on gender identity. The #1 song, recorded with the Sweet Inspirations, was the first gay liberation dance club hit.Whether making records, educating the black community about HIV and AIDS, or preaching to his growing congregation, Archbishop Bean has never wanted to minister to just one group. He's worked on AIDS issues with C. Everett Koop and Elizabeth Taylor and on civil rights issues with Maxine Waters, Julian Bond, and Reverend Joseph Lowery. At the height of his recording career, he worked with Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach, Miles Davis, and Sammy Davis Jr. He's brought South Central Los Angeles gang members into his church, which now has 25,000 members in twelve cities nationwide; those same Crips and Bloods have shown up at the Gay Pride parades Bean has organized with U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters. And he has courageously devoted his time and energy to spurring black civil rights leaders to address the AIDS health crisis within the African American community--an issue on which they had been silent.Preaching an all-embracing progressive theology, he is an outspoken practitioner of brotherly love, a dynamic preacher, and a social activist. The Unity Fellowship message is grace: "God is love, and God is for everyone"; "God is gay, God is straight, God is black, God is white." I Was Born This Way is the rare personal history of one of black gospel's biggest stars and a frank, powerful, and warmhearted testament to how one man found his calling.

Forgive me readers, I have sinned. It has been 5 days since my last post. The end of term is quickly approaching, and that means grading essays and assignments, and generally being super busy. This is what we had for St. Patrick's Day--kind of an Irish stew in a pie crust topped with thinly sliced potatoes.
Makes 10
- 1 recipe pie crust
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp liquid smoke
- 4 shallots, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 celery rib, small dice
- 2 cups Yukon gold potatoes, small dice
- 1 cup carrots, small dice
- 1 cup beer
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup soy creamer (or soy milk)
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tbsp sage
- 2 tsp thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 medium Yukon Gold potato, thinly sliced with a food processor and tossed in some olive oil
1. Make the pie dough and set in the fridge to chill.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil over medium heat in a large frying pan. Add chickpeas and cook for 5 mins. Add vinegar and mix well, stirring until evaporated. Add liquid smoke, mix well, and remove from heat. Put chickpeas in a bowl and return pan to the heat.
3. Add remaining 2 tbsp of oil and heat. Fry shallots, garlic, and celery for 5-7 mins, until softened. Add potatoes and carrots and fry for 5 mins.
4. Add beer and soy sauce and mix well. Cook until liquid has all reduced. Add flour and mix well. Add enough soy creamer or soy milk to make a thick and creamy stew. You don't want too much liquid or it will bubble out of your pie and make a real mess.
5. Add spices and season with salt and pepper. Stir in fresh parsley and remove from heat.
6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and make the crusts. I used extra large muffin tins to hold the pies. Roll out the dough fairly thin (1/8" or so), cut into circles big enough to fit the muffin tin. Cut a triangle out of the circle (so it looks like PacMan) and mold into the tin. Use some water to close the seam. Make 10.
7. Fill crusts with filling and slice potatoes. Top pies with 4 or 5 slices of potatoes. Bake for 35-40 mins, or until potatoes have browned and the filling is bubbling.
