Part One
The Future,
In Theory
Lee Smolin
The Future of the Nature
of the Universe
We are asked to predict the state of our science fifty years from today. Fifty years is a long time, given the pace at which physics and cosmology have progressed over the last several hundred years. But perhaps it is not too long a time to make predictions that will not seem entirely stupid by then. If you look back over the history of science, you will see that often the important questions people were asking had been answered fifty years later. And yet the progress of science has usually been slow enough that people speak roughly the same language as their colleagues working in the same field fifty years earlier.
Let's look back fifty years, then, and note what the big questions were. My own list would include:
1)What is the nature of the strong force that holds atomic nuclei together?
2)What is the nature of the weak force responsible for radioactive decay?
3)Is the Steady State model of the universe right, or might there have been a Big Bang, as speculated by Gamow and other fringe figures?
4)Do protons and neutrons have any internal structure?
5)Why do the proton and neutron have slightly different masses, while the electron is much lighter than either? Why is the neutrino massless? What is the muon and who ordered it?
6)What is the relationship between general relativity and quantum theory?
7)What is the right way to understand the quantum theory?
I think we can confidently assert that now we know the answers to the first four questions. We are still working on the last three. But the first have not been forgotten; indeed, the methods by which those questions were answered form the basis of the training of a theoretical physicist today.
If we look back a hundred years, however, we find that we no longer care about many of the questions people were asking then. I'm not enough of a historian to write a list of questions asked by physicists at the turn of the last century, but they would likely have been more concerned with the properties of the ether than with the properties of atoms. There was no evidence for the existence of physical atoms until a few years laterand, indeed, in 1900 many physicists did not believe that atoms existed. Others, like Ernst Mach, thought the question was not a part of physics because atoms would never be observed. As for astronomy, there was no evidence in 1900 for the existence of galaxies apart from our own Milky Way, nor did anyone have any idea what made the stars shine. So while physicists of the early 1950s would probably have understood the questions that physicists are asking now, no one at the beginning of the twentieth century could have understood even the words that physicists were using in 1950 to talk to each other.
Sometimes science changes so little over fifty years that it makes sense to try to predict what we will know after that span. But there are periods when progress is faster and this is no longer the case. It seems that there is a horizon, somewhere between fifty and a hundred years into the future, beyond which it may be useless to speculate in any detail about the progress of science.
Let's take a moment to consider why this is so. It's probably partly because fifty years is about the length of a scientific career, from the beginning of studies until retirement. This, then, is the span of time over which the conservative tendencies built into the structure of scientific careers act to retard the progress of science. Science is hard, and we scientists prefer to have as good an understanding of what we're doing as possible; thus, unless forced to do otherwise, we prefer to work with techniques and ideas we already understand well. Another factor is that the careers of young scientists are often controlled by senior people nearing retirement, who are in many cases no longer active and therefore unfamiliar with new techniques. Career-savvy graduate students, no matter how imaginative, hesitate to work on something not understood by the powerful old men and women of their field. Thus, in order to think about what my science will be like in fifty years, I imagine what the brightest of my graduate students will be talking about at their retirement parties. My guess is that unless they are forced by data they cannot otherwise explain to make a revolution comparable to that of the early twentieth century, they will be using the language we've taught them. If that's the case, the present exercise may be usefulthough the romantics among us would rather anticipate a revolution than confirmation of our own beliefs.
One can also speculate on what was different about the sociology of science in the first half of the twentieth century to enable such enormous progress. Two credible answers come to mind: One is that it was possible for outsiders, such as Albert Einstein and Paul Ehrenfest, to publish in spite of not having university positions; another is that the generation that preceded the inventors of quantum theory was mostly wiped out in World War I, leaving the field open for Heisenberg, Dirac, and their friends.
This said, what will we know about fundamental physics and cosmology in fifty years? Rather than guessing, I propose a method that has a chance of reaching conclusions that won't look silly in the 2050s. I will list the most fundamental questions that are currently unanswered. Then I will ask what developments we may expect in experimental and observational science which will enable answers to them to be checked. I won't worry about theoretical developments, since there are already proposed answers to all of my questions and I assume that over a time span of fifty years we theorists will be able to adjust our theories, or invent new ones, in response to the data.
Here, then, is my list of the seven most important open questions in fundamental physics and cosmology:
1)Is quantum theory true as presently formulated, or will it need to be modified, either to have a sensible physical interpretation or to unify it with relativity and cosmology?
2)What is the quantum theory of gravity? What is the structure of space and time on the Planck scale (10-33 cm, or twenty orders of magnitude smaller than an atomic nucleus)?
3)What explains the exact values of the parameters that determine the properties of the elementary particles, including their masses and the strengths of the forces by which they interact?
4)What explains the large ratios of scales we observe? Why is the gravitational force between two protons forty powers of ten smaller than their electrical repulsion? Why is the universe so big? Why is it at least sixty powers of ten bigger than the fundamental Planck scale? Why is the cosmological constant smaller than any other parameter in physics by roughly the same ratio?
5)What was the Big Bang? What determined the properties of the universe that emerged from it? Was the Big Bang the origin of the universe? If not, what happened before it?
6)What constitutes the dark matter and dark energy that make up between 80 and 95 percent of the density of the universe?
7)How did the galaxies form? What do the patterns we observe in the distribution of the galaxies tell us about the early evolution of the universe?
The first four of these questions continue, and deepen, unanswered questions from fifty years ago. The other three are new. Let us then ask whether the observations and experiments we'll be able to make in 2050 will be sufficient to test answers that theorists may propose to these questions. Of course, anything could be invented in fifty years. If my method is to be believable, we have to be conservative about the development of technology. I will thus consider only technology already existing or under development. In the latter case, I will consider only technology that a sizable fraction of experts believe will work in the next few years. However, for each technology existing or under development, I will assume that over the course of fifty years it will have been developed as far as possible, given only constraints imposed by the laws of physics or economics. Ordinary microscopes have a natural limit given by the wavelength of light, while telescopes have a natural limit imposed by the speed of light in a universe of finite age. Other technologies are more likely to be limited by financial considerations. We can safely assume that no experiment will be done whose cost (at that time) exceeds the defense budget of the United States. Let me hasten to add that I am not an expert in experimental physics or observational cosmology and I have not done a careful study of the limits involved. So my estimates will of necessity be very broad. Based on an extrapolation of current technology to its natural and financial limits, here is what I think we may hope for by mid-century.
We may begin with quantum theory. At present, powerful new techniques are being developed that promise to greatly extend the regime over which the quantum theory has been experimentally testedtechniques chiefly in aid of developing quantum computers. These are macroscopic devices that use quantum effects, such as superposition and entanglement, to do computations impossible for ordinary computers. A quantum computer requires those effectswhich have so far been observed only for atomic systemsto work for macroscopic systems like the circuits of a computer, so the devices test those predictions of quantum theory that differ most strongly from classical theory.
Because it has been demonstrated that quantum computers could break all the codes now used by governments, militaries, and business, a lot of money is going into quantum computing. So it is safe to assume that as long as quantum mechanics remains true when extrapolated to macroscopic systems, there will be quantum computers in fifty years, and there are also likely to be quantum communication devices that make use of quantum states extending nonlocally worldwide. And if the present quantum theory is only an approximation of a deeper theory, experiments with quantum computers are likely to reveal this. It is thus reasonable to conclude that fifty years from now we will know the answer to the first question.
Let's turn next to cosmology. By mid-century we will certainly have a detailed picture of the history of the universe, based on observations using the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum, plus neutrinos, cosmic rays, and gravitational waves. The parameters in our current cosmological models will have been measured to high precision, and we will know lots of other facts about the universe, such as the number of black holes, the distributions in space and time of stars, galaxies, black holes, neutron stars, quasars, gamma ray bursters, and other objects. In fact, we will probably know more about the detailed history and properties of the universe than we know now about the history of the surface of our planet. At least in terms of familiarity with the whole range of its phenomena, we will truly be "at home in the universe."
The results will strongly constrain current theories of the early universe, such as inflation. We will also have a detailed picture of how galaxies and the patterns of galactic clusters and superclusters formed. Even without direct observations of dark matter, those observations will strongly constrain theories of the nature of dark matter and dark energy. By mid-century we may or may not have directly observed dark matter and dark energy and learned enough about them to confirm or refute the various theories that have been proposed about them.
Some readers will ask whether all these observations might confirm the Big Bang theory. To answer that question, we must distinguish between two meanings of Big Bang cosmology. I'll call the first the Expanding Universe cosmology: This is the theory that the universe has expanded from a much denser and hotter state for roughly 13 billion years. Among the key events in this story is the decoupling of light and matter when the universe had cooled enough for atoms to be stable. For roughly a million years before that, the universe was filled with a plasma, like the interior of a star. Since the transition, the universe has been filled with a very dilute gas, transparent to light, and all of the structures we seestars and their planets, galaxies, galactic clusterswere formed. And almost all the chemical elements were formed since the transition, in stars; only helium and other light elements, like deuterium and lithium, were formed beforehand. I think it is unlikely that the outline of this story will be modified fifty years from now. We will know much more about the processes whereby stars, galaxies, and the elements formed, but all the evidence will still support the Expanding Universe theory.
It is also safe to say that we will have observations that strongly constrain our theories about what happened in the very early history of the universe. As we turn back the clock, the density and temperature increase. It is interesting to wonder how far back we can go to constrain theories by observation. By mid-century the part of the theory open to test is likely to extend back at least to the Planck time, a period so small that 1043 of them would fit into one second. Take, for example, the inflation hypothesis. Under a certain set of reasonable assumptions, predictions of this theory are testable in current observations of the fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background. These observations make up one of the greatest achievements of recent science. But even if current observations are compatible with inflation, there remain many open questions: The predictions of inflation are simple and may well be implied by other theories, so measurements that are more detailed may be needed to distinguish inflation from possible rival explanations of the present data. Moreover, there are many different versions of inflation, and further measurements are certainly needed to distinguish them. We hope to have those more detailed measurements of the cosmic microwave background not in fifty years but in five. So it is reasonable, if not certain, to predict that by mid-century it will be old hat to consider theories of the expanding universe testable by detailed observations all the way back from our present era to the Planck time.
But the Planck time is still not the origin of time. Very different from the Expanding Universe theory is the assertion that the Big Bang was the absolute beginning of the universe. Even if we know that the universe is hotter and denser all the way back to some point that may be a fraction of a second after some theoretical beginning, this does not prove that something didn't happen before that to set the expansion in motion. So it remains possible that the universe existed, possibly in some different form, a long time before the moment of the theoretical "Big Bang." To distinguish these kinds of hypotheses, let me refer to them as Origin of the Universe theories.

RedistrictingPosted Monday, February 6, 2012, at 11:31 AM
New Tennessee State House Districts
This week, the Tennessee General Assembly reconvened for the second session of the 107th General Assembly. I have high expectations for the upcoming legislative session and look forward to making government work for the people over the coming months.
The first item on our agenda this year was redistricting. Every ten years, following the decennial census, the Tennessee General Assembly is constitutionally mandated to redraw the district lines for State House, State Senate and U.S. House. This process takes into account population shifts and makes sure each district is proportionally represented. New census numbers were not particularly good for our West Tennessee area. With declining rural populations here and growing suburbs in Nashville, we lost a number of State House and State Senate seats to Middle Tennessee.
For the last ten years, I've had the privilege of representing the people of House District 82--Lauderdale, Crockett and a portion of Dyer counties. Under new district lines passed this week, Dyer County will now be made whole and move completely into House District 81. The new House District 82 will then be all of Crockett, Lauderdale and Haywood Counties. While I'm disappointed that the majority party conducted this process behind closed doors, I'm pleased with the new district. It's compact, rural and doesn't unnecessarily split counties.
There have also been changes to our state senate districts. Crockett County, which was previously represented by 26th district Senator Delores Gresham (R-Somerville), will now be represented by 27th district Senator Lowe Finney (D-Jackson). Lauderdale & Dyer Counties--previously represented by Senator Mark Norris (R-Collierville)--will be represented by Senator Finney, while Haywood will stay with Senator Gresham.
Our US House district, currently represented by Congressman Stephen Fincher, will have some substantial changes. The new 8th Congressional district takes in Germantown, Collierville and other Memphis suburbs, while giving many rural areas to 7th district Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn. This will make our congressional district substantially less rural and considerably more suburban.
I understand that this process can be confusing and probably really boring, but I thought it was important to share with you this week. You need to know who your representatives are at every level. When that changes substantially, as it does every ten years, I feel like it's my responsibility to help you stay informed. The state website, http://www.capitol.tn.gov/districtmaps/r..., is a great resource to familiarize you with the new district and our representatives.
As always, if you have any questions about the new districts or would like to hear more about another issue, please contact my legislative office and we'll get your questions answered as soon as possible. Have a great week

A farmer has to get a corn, a chicken, and a fox across a river. The farmer is only able to bring one of the above items along with him at a time. The only problem is if he leaves the fox alone with the chicken, the fox will eat the chicken, and if he leaves the chicken along the corn sack, then the chicken will eat the corn sack. How does the farmer get all 3 items across safely?
Help Pleaseeee!!!!

Take the Chicken first.
Nancy Barnes Says:
I'll give you a clue…do not assume that the boat will always contain the farmer AND an object. The farmer may be alone on one of the trips…
Molly Says:
First take the chicken across…chicken alone..fox and corn alone…then bring the fox across, but bring the chicken back across the river when he goes to get the corn. Leave chicken back on original side of the river, pick up the corn and take it to the other side with the fox. Go back get the chicken.

You got it Molly. Thats a nice thought.. I have to find some difficult one's for you.. ;D

No problem Nitah. Get some rest.

Dodge, has produced three separate vehicles with the name Dodge Charger Daytona, all of which were modified Dodge Chargers. The name Daytona is taken from Daytona Beach, Florida, a Magnet for auto racing, and it still hosts the Daytona 500, one of NASCAR's Main events. The first use of the Daytona name on a car was the early 1960s Studebaker Lark. The Daytona was the performance model of the compact Lark. 1969 DODGE CHARGER HEMI DAYTONA for Sale-GALEN V. GOVIER DOCUMENTED AS THE MOST OPTIONED 1969 DODGE CHARGER HEMI DAYTONA KNOWN TO EXIST. Has The Original Build Sheet As Well As The Window Sticker. It's 1 Of 22 4-Speed Cars Produced By Chrysler, And 1 Of Only 11 Known To Exist:
The New Dodge Charger Daytona was a high performance,limited version of the Dodge Charger produced in the summer of 1969 for the sole reason of winning NASCAR races. And Did it ever! it won its first race out, (the First Talladega 500 in the fall,) and helped Bobby Isaac, capture the 1970 Grand National championship, although he didn't win any races at Daytona in 1970. Buddy Baker in the #88 Chrysler Engineering Dodge Charger Daytona was the first driver in NASCAR history to break the 200 mph mark on March 24th. 1970 at Talladega. This Rare 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona Pictured Below, Has The Rare Distinction Of Being VIN NUMBER 1 And First Off The Production Line Of The Daytona's.
Only 503 Charger Daytonas were built with either 440 Magnum or 426 Hemi power. All Daytonas wore red, black, or white bumble stripes that bore the name "Daytona" in the middle of the stripe. The wings were also painted the same color as the stripes. The "wing cars, (As they were named) would prove to be so fast, and dominating, that NASCAR effectively outlawed them for the 1971 season. This 1969 Original Un-Restored Charger Daytona below, has only 6,840 Original Miles. This Rare And Beautiful Muscle Car Has Had Only 2 Owners Since New and is a Jewel, and a Rare Find.

Compared to the initial weak updates I've seen early into the Wii virtual console, recent weeks have impressed. This week we see the integration of (at least) two great games and two decent games (subjectively speaking).
*Streets of Rage: I, personally, am a HUGE Final Fight fan and when I first played Streets of Rage on the Sega Genesis I was blown away by the similarities. It was Final Fight with a little more edge and realism, coupled with an upbeat soundtrack that had you bouncing (those who have played know what I mean) and the it was definitely a quicker game than your traditional button-mashing beat-em-up. This was sadly vacant from most Sega Collection releases for modern systems and finally gives Genesis fans a virtual console download they can't find on an old Gamecube collection (why pay 800 points for Sonic the Hedgehog when you can get the whole collection for $12.99 at Gamestop?). For 800 pts. this game is DEFINITELY worth it!
*Donkey Kong Country: Originally released for the SNES, this was the end all be all back in the day. A pseudo-3d side scrolling platformer much in the classic format of Super Mario Brothers kept us Donkey Kong crazy for several more sequels and also broke Donkey Kong into as popular a figure as Mario or Link! This game is pretty simple from start to finish, but still fun as hell and I'm happy to see some good strong hits find its way to the virtual console. For 800 pts. I say it's worth it!
*New Adventure Island: The original NES Adventure Island was probably one of my favorite games when I was seven. It was challenging, but beatable, and cartoony but serious. New Adventure Island on the Turbographix-16 left a little to be desired when all was said and done. It was very obviously recycled from the original and not polished very well. It was like playing the original with a little choppyness and much better graphics. Still fun, and compared to the NES download at 500 pts., may even be worth the extra 100 pts., but definitely nothing to write home about. In my opinion, not worth the 600 pts. Wait to see if the NES original makes its way to the VC.
*Legend of Kage: Originally an arcade game that made a simplified port to the NES, Legend of Kage is for all the masochists out there who liked games like Rush N Attack. Expect to die often and have to start over because I felt this game was HARD. The NES didn't do much saving and Legend of Kage could have used tons of them. Once you figure out the patterns and get into the game, it then seems to simplistic and therefore a lackluster gaming experience. If you've played it and liked it, it may be for you, but make sure you remember it accurately (because I didn't when I downloaded it). In my opinion, NOT WORTH IT, simple as that.
My Virtual Console Wish List:
Given that I've been doing a lot of reading this week on the new next-gen Star Wars title (Force Unleashed), I've created my first top-10 VC wish list with that in mind:
1.)Super Mario RPG (SNES)
2.)Super Empire Strikes Back (SNES)
3.)Splatterhouse (TG-16)
4.)Shadows of the Empire (N64)
5.)Rogue Squadron (N64)
6.)Final Fantasy (NES)
7.)Super Mario All Stars (SNES)
8.)Killer Instinct Gold (N64)
9.)Mike Tyson's Punch-Out (NES)
10.)Mutant League Football (Genesis)
Again, please note that most of my game choices deal with the fact that I can realistically get most good Genesis titles on Xbox, Gamecube, or PSP already, so sorry Sega isn't well represented. Most of the other good Sega and Turbographix games seem to already be on the list. This list will update weekly as I adapt my opinion.
As for the Xbox, I'm still waiting to get my hands (or virtual hands?) on the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night download, but sadly I have seen no trace of it. It's supposed to find its way to us by the end of February, so that means I should see it within a week (this Wednesday or next). Can't wait. In the meantime I was given:
*Paperboy: I really liked the NES version of this game and found myself playing it for hours on end. Naturally when I saw the original arcade version I flipped and downloaded it quickly. Looking over the achievements I found them to seem quite easy, not normal for most Arcade downlaods. It wasn't until I started playing that I realized why. Unlike Contra, another NES arcade port that made a smooth transition to Xbox Arcade, Paperboy is nothing like the NES experience. The game is much harder and has a much more picky control scheme. I found myself biking like a clumsy nine-year-old in the game and died with not only weak but cheap deaths. I eventually got frustrated with the game and took a day break from it. Some of you may find this transition smooth, I'm not known for being any better than the average gamer, but to me this version lacked the spunk I got from the NES. Probably because the original was supposed to suck kids dry of quarters, but whatever the reason, I was unimpressed. For 800 pts. on Xbox Live, NOT WORTH IT!
Xbox Live Arcade Wish List:
Not as extensive as the virtual console, just a few games I 'd love to see on here:
1.)Killer Instinct
2.)Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
3.)The Simpsons
4.)X-men (online 6-player would rock!)
5.)Kung Fu
6.)Karate Champ

Sega CD
Way back when Sega was desperately trying to beat out the Super Nintendo for market value, they made a very stupid decision to release a CD attachment to their system. That system was the Sega CD, which came in two versions that attached to the system through the "Do Not Touch" slot. Sega CD allowed for the best of both worlds: The graphics of SNES with the processing speed of a Genesis (assuming you disregard the endless load screens). It also introduced a wave of games that no one had thought of (and today's audiences don't want): the Full Motion Videogame (FMV for short). The FMV was a game that basically played a movie for you and you interacted with it. By today's standards (and now televisions) the pixelated MPEGs had a horrible resolution that contemporary gamers can't even decipher, but to those of us who had it, they were better than TV.
The biggest problem with the Sega CD, assuming you liked its games, was the $300.00 price tag attached to it (not to mention the $100.00-$150.00 for the Genesis). Most gamers didn't have that kind of money and most parents found that much for a game system was ludicrous. To those of us who loved FMV and wanted perfect ports of NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat, it was the greatest invention of the time.
In addition, it was the Sega CD that caused the push for a rating system for video games that would later migrate to the modern rating system we have today. It did this with one game: Night Trap. Night Trap was a FMV launch title that allowed the player to take the role of a secret agent watching various cameras and interacting with the subjects in them. Basically, you just flipped between 8 cameras and whenever you saw a bad guy watched the movie until the faithful moment you could capture him came along. The movie was incredibly cheesy with the feel of a B horror movie cerca late 80s. Trouble was, there was a scene where a girl in a nightgown is attacked by several men and many parents thought it re-enacted a rape of sorts. It was at that time that the game was banned from stores and we got the old video game rating system.
After all the press faded, the Sega CD launched a decent number of titles worth owning, possibly even today. Classic FMV titles like Sewer Shark, Double Switch (starring 80s heart throb Corie Haim), and arcade ports of Dragon's Lair and Mad Dog McCree were quickly released on the system. Anime-style FMV games would also premiere with some decent response like the rare Time Gal and Road Avenger. The RPG world got a great boost with games like both Lunar titles, and exploratory Jurassic Park (the only JP license I felt was worthy, by the way), and Rise of the Dragon (loosely based off a William Gibson Novel). We even get great computer ports like Out of this World and Willy Bemish. Popular arcade games were brought home with precision on titles like Lethal Enforcers, Mortal Kombat, and NBA Jam.
There are several reasons to love the Sega CD and several reasons to hate it. These days it may be a little to out of date (considering it was more of a passing trend than an innovator), but for the right player, this can be a lost treasure that is now affordable. With various versions including Sega CD 1, 2, JVC's Xeye (genesis/Sega CD combo system), and Sega's CDX (Sega's version of the Xeye that was portable) it should be easy enough to find online. Granted, the good or noteworthy titles like Lunar and Night Trap will run you anywhere from $30-$50, there is some investment involved. At the same time, what system doesn't come with a degree of investment and there are many an afternoon I drag out my Sega CD and spend hours playing my old favorites. There is the added benefit of no copyright protection in the games to prevent simply copying discs, although due to legal ramifications I can't recommend this, but it is still a valid point worth mentioning. I live in Kansas City and lived in Chicago and I had no problem finding at least a few games in locally owned used shops. No doubt about it, the fan base was small, but for those looking for a gaming experience that's a little simpler and a little left of center, the Sega CD may be worth trying out.

Powdered drink mix within a collapsing plastic tube, sold in the 1980s in North America. Much like Tang, Burple was sold to be mixed with water and consumed as a fruit flavored juice. Was sold in a variety of flavors. The product did not last long on store shelves, however.

Welcome Bedouin and good luck with the journey!
Hi all,
After stumbling across PB, buying the book & making it my mission to live a primal life, i realised i still have trouble being accountable. So im resigning myself to a daily post with the day's nutrition and fitness, and check in monthly with my weight.
Im 28, happily married to my soul mate (miss h) & live in Sydney, Australia with our fur-baby (Lola). Last week a brand new strength training park started being constructed 50 meters from my gate (a sign from the universe)! So the time is right, the rules are primal & im making the change, for good.
I was always a tubby kid, but athletic, until a shoulder reconstruction which led me to stop playing soccer competitively in my early 20s. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 3 years ago, which is a monster- and funnily enough, some of the earliest advice i got was 'quit wheat, now!' (i wish i did then).
I love bike riding, soccer, hiking and kickboxing, but havent had regular workouts for years. Im convinced im really an athlete in an obese girls body, so im excited about finding a way of life that finally feels right.
Today, I weigh 137kgs. (its never going to be that again)
Any support is welcome!
Welcome Bedouin and good luck with the journey!
B: 2 scrambled eggs with a dash of cream and butter with 3 rashers of bacon
L: salad of lettuce, carrot, beet, tomato and cucumber with grilled fish
S: 95g can of tuna chunks in olive oil
Not sure whats for dinner... but im decidedly hungry today :/
Tonight im going to a Zumba class for the first time! Its mostly for a laugh, and ill try anything a couple of times. Ive heard they darken the room, and play live percussion instruments and bongos so miss h and i are dragging our friends with us excited!
Thanks! I love how supportive this community is. Lovely warm feelings of love and support already transversing the interwebs
Welcome, Bedouin!!!
Yo, so zumba was pretty fun & tough! Def. going next week too because I felt so great afterwards also, dinner was about 300 grams beef mince cooked with lots of hot chillis, garam masala and tomato paste served on blanched choy sum and bok choi and topped with a bit of shreded cheese.
Before work tomorrow I'll prepare the slow cooker with gravey beef, mushrooms, some red wine and baby carrots. Love coming home to a fragrant, cooked dinner with minimal prep and I guess I should start taking photos of my meals...
All in all, a productive, happy day. Nighty night
Not sore from zumba surprisingly, felt energetic. Shared a drinking coconut with miss h-sooo good. Had a swig of chocolate milk straight after- shocked to discover the coconut was far more delicious.
I've packed a bad ass salad- iceberg, baby spinach, raw macadamia, olives, 1 tblspn of Dutch smoked cheese and a big can of tuna in olive oil. I've got some trail mix, an apple, kiwi and banana to snack on but lately I have been only been eating 1-2 fruits pet day. It was 3-4 when I first started pb, maybe it's got to do with adjusting?
Dinner is still slow cooked beef. Will take Lola my dog out to the doggy park and maybe try sprints wooooo.
Till tomorrow.
Happy Bastille day for yesterday!
I flew interstate very early for work, had a small fruit salad at about 6.30am and some cheese and mini toasts at 10am. Nothing primal at the work lunch- so had a couple of cheese pastries :/ Got home at 8pm, exhausted- to find miss h had prepared an AMAZING primal French feast!! Salad Niccoise (was amazing!! green beans, boiled egg, boiled potato and sliced olive in a mustard, vinegar dressing) and brie stuffed chicken breast, roasted. For dessert she made strawberries and cherries dipped in organic 70% dark chocolate... WOW. We also uncorked a 2004 Chateuneuf-du-pape we picked up in the south of France last year on holiday... Im a lucky girl.
Breakast this morning was a tablespoon of almond butter, wasnt feeling hungry but wanted to try it. nom nom
Lunch is left over salad Niccoise with small can of tuna and some spinach leaves and a small portion of left over slow cooked beef with mushroom and carrot left over from dinner two nights ago.
I just nom'd on some trail mix and have a kiwi and banana for fuit today, as well as a couple interesting types of herbal teas (currently sipping cinnamon, lemon balm, rosehip, apples, cloves, ginger and cardamon blend called 'Harmony' by Husk teas- mmmm).
its a lovely, sunny day, so ill spend the afternoon working outside and plan to walk Lola when i get home from work.
not sure about dinner, may take a drive to the butcher and pick up some great lamb and grill it on skewers with a cabbage and orange salad.
Maybe someone can help with this:
I bought a bottle of coconut oil from an Indian grocer- and the instructions were to microwave the bottle for 30 seconds to melt it (if its gone hard). so I did that and when i started heating it up in the wok, it started to smell, really, really bad. like an acrid, instinctivly-chuck-the-whole-thing-out kind of smell. I wasnt sure if thats just how it is, so i stir fried some eggplants with chilli and ate them, i couldnt taste anything wierd, but had lost my appetite due to said stench. Is this smell normal??

West (and East) Side Story of Galas
Call it the Battle of the Museums, call it the Battle of the Bands. We call it Thursday night.
In one corner, it's the Upper East Side, with the Guggenheim's 2011 International Gala. In the other, the Upper West Side, with the Museum of Natural History's fall gala, the Museum Gala. At the Guggenheim, there was a performance by the band MGMT. At the Museum of Natural History, the evening belonged to the biggest band in the world, at least at the moment: Coldplay.
In this scenario, it will be fairly challenging to call a winner.
Over on Fifth Avenue, the MGMT show was "inspired by" the Guggenheim's current Maurizio Cattelan retrospective. Those seeking renditions of the group's hits "Kids" and "Time to Pretend" were disappointed. Instead, the art crowd got a mellow, Shoegaze, and slightly spooky set of psychedelic, electronic easy listening. The music was aligned with a corresponding light show, which illuminated the horse hanging above the crowd—a highlight of the Cattelan exhibit.
Before the performance, mini dining rooms were set up all over the museum's ramps, each with their own steps and white carpet. At Mr. Cattelan's table, the ongoing joke seemed to about the artist's stubbornness. He threw a piece of bread at a reporter when prodded on the matter.
Mr. Cattelan "has a reputation for being a pain in the a—," said Guggenheim trustee David Ganek, adding that said reputation is also "endearing." (He added that MGMT and Mr. Cattelan have a "shared irreverence.")
"If you ask him about land, he'll answer about the ocean," said Mr. Cattelan's dealer, Ludovica Barbieri.
Meanwhile, over on Central Park West, there was a lot of excitement about the Coldplay performance that would cap the night. How did the museum land such a major act? Ask "Saturday Night Live" producer Lorne Michaels, a chair of the evening, who also has the band playing on Saturday's episode.
This weekend's host, the actress Emma Stone, was present with her new beau, actor Andrew Garfield. (They are starring together in the upcoming "Spider-Man" reboot.) Also in tow were Jimmy Fallon as well as most of the cast and writing staff of "30 Rock" and "Saturday Night Live," thanks to Mr. Michaels's buying up a few tables.
"We get to see everyone and we get to dress up," said Kristen Wiig, who looked pretty glam in Theyskens' Theory.
"You look so cute in your tuxedo," "SNL" cast member Nasim Pedrad told her colleague Bobby Moynihan.
"Just a few hours ago I was in a 'Star Wars' T-shirt and athletic shorts," Mr. Moynihan responded.
One thing that clearly cannot be underestimated is the power of "Saturday Night Live." Four tickets, along with access to an "SNL" after-party, went for around $30,000 at a live auction. "For that money, Jason Sudeikis will sleep with a member of your family," said the guest co-auctioneer Brian Williams, referring to Mr. Sudeikis's tabloid status as a party-boy bachelor.
Mr. Williams described the crowd as a "subdued New York 1%" because there was otherwise not much excited bidding. But in truth a lot of money exchanged hands.
A hundred thousand is a lot to drop in an evening, isn't it? But there was at least one $100,000 blanket donation to the museum's education programs. Meanwhile, Mortimer and Jackie Sackler paid $100,000 for an "exclusive naming opportunity for the newly conserved Black Bear diorama … set in a Florida Cypress Swamp near Lake Placid" that resides in the Hall of North American Mammals.
When it came to pledges, Karen and Richard LeFrak offered to match whatever was raised up to $1 million. This audience made it to around $500,000.
After some sparkly whale cookies were served, it came time for the main event: Coldplay. The band, particularly low-key on Thursday, sang five songs—"Yellow," "Clocks," "Fix You," "Viva La Vida" and "Paradise"—despite the fact that there seemed time and excitement for a far longer set.
"We wanted 10 more songs," said Jane Krakowski of "30 Rock." "At least 10 more."
There seemed to be a teensy bit of tension between Chris Martin, the band's lead singer, and the venue's guests. "Normally we're quite good," Mr. Martin said, before announcing. "Half the room doesn't even know what the f— we're playing."
"I guess they didn't want to play for a lot of rich" jerks, said one "SNL" writer, on the way out.
As the rich jerks headed home into the rain, the less rich jerks, i.e. the coterie of comedians, tried to figure out where the party should continue.
"Where did Lorne say we should go?" asked Abby Elliott.
"Lorne is sending us to Space," said Mr. Moynihan.
"We're going to Space?" responded Ms. Elliott.
They settled for the Darby on 14th Street.

Why is it that even the most organized, buttoned-up and get-it-done families struggle to collect their information and complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid www.fafsa.ed.gov)? It's important to fill it out and submit it as early as possible since applications are considered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
I think we can chalk it up to general avoidance. It's tough dealing with the harsh material reality of the cost of sending your child to college as well as the emotional reality of an emptier nest. Whatever the answer is, if you are the parent of a high school senior and haven't filled out your FAFSA yet, you can comfort yourself that other parents delay, too.
Here are some FAFSA facts and recommendations:
The biggest question most people have is "Is it worth it for me to complete the form?" Most financial aid, whether the source is a college or university, your state or a foundation, requires the completed FAFSA. If you are interested in need-based aid such as government-funded Pell Grants, which you don't need to repay, or state-sponsored aid; student loans such as Perkins and Stafford or PLUS Loans for parent borrowers; or work-study programs on college campuses, you will definitely need to fill out the FAFSA.
Merit-based aid is a little different. Some colleges award it based off nothing more than the student's application. The amounts can vary greatly, but students are frequently notified of these awards in their acceptance letters. As to whether you'll need to complete the FAFSA for other merit-based grants (money that doesn't need to be repaid) you'll need to check with the organization or the college directly.
Before you start collecting all of your expense receipts for the past year, create a Federal Student Aid ID, called a PIN, and use the FAFSA4caster to estimate your eligibility for federal student aid. While you are at the FAFSA website, check out your state's deadline for applications; they vary and some are as early as Feb. 15.
>What materials do I need?
You will need: your Social Security number, your driver's license number and your most recent tax return(s). If you file in January, you can estimate the most recent year's taxes. You can make corrections to the form in February or March. You also will need your most recent bank statements and business, mortgage and investment records.
>What else do I need to know?
If your son or daughter has applied to private colleges you will also need to complete the CSS Profile form which can be found at www.collegeboard.com. This form is more detailed and asks about income and liabilities, including family assets, veterans' benefits and child support payments.
Here's some good news: According to Cappex.com, two-thirds of all undergraduate college students receive some type of financial aid.

Big Apple for Sale
Is there anything you can't buy on that grand electronic bazaar known as the Internet? Well, not a New York City subway car. At least, not yet.
But through the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Web site you can purchase the parts that make up its guts. Just scroll over to the New York City transit surplus-material sales page and peruse the listings for switch-mounting brackets, spring supports, and contact-ball assemblies. Looking for terminals, transformers, and resistor tubes? You've found them.
Of the six MTA agencies, NYC Transit, which operates the city's bus and subway systems, is the only one to broker its excess inventory in cyberspace. "Since Transit has posted its scrap sales on the Web, they have been getting more bids than they formerly did," says Robin Stevens, the MTA's deputy chief financial officer. "It has just been very helpful for that particular market."
Alas, customers aren't yet permitted to e-mail in an order. You must resort to the old-economy standby of mailing, faxing, or phoning in your bid, after which you can pick up your chunk of the F train or have a postal carrier drop it off on your doorstep.

Clued in to the commercial possibilities of the Web, the authority has a separate page for buffs seeking more easily identifiable parts of the transit system. The memorabilia and collectibles page offers "old Transit uniforms, logo caps, station signs, vintage tokens," and the like "for buyers interested in acquiring a little bit of NYC Transit's history."
The current listings aren't too exciting. Offered are extra Transit decals that read "Notice, Fan Drive and Power Steering Oil" or "Pass Safety Exit Door," along with signs for "Out of Service," "Do Not Use," and "Siamese Connection for Fire Dept." Visa and MasterCard accepted.
In addition to selling, the MTA also does some buying. The agency's site lists capital projects worth more than $10,000, but the casual browser is unlikely to bid on resurfacing the suspension span deck of the Throgs Neck Bridge or rehabilitating the overpass deck at the Newkirk Avenue subway station in Brooklyn.
It's difficult to know exactly how many subway and bus parts are being sold with the aid of the Internet, since the MTA and NYC Transit don't track how a buyer has learned of its for-sale items. One thing they do know is that a subway car has never been sold online. "In no one's memory have subway cars been posted on the Web," says MTA spokesperson Lisa Schwartz.
But a new fleet of 1080 subway cars is expected to be up and running by the fall of this year. That means there'll be a lot of excess scrap metal taking up space in Transit garages. And who wouldn't want an out-of-service 2 train to call their very own? "We are looking at a number of options right now," say a cautious Schwartz. "But I don't have a final word on what's going to happen to them."

Riddick - Developer's Cut Review
While the game is a console port and pretty short, it is an experience to remember and the additions made to the PC version make it a worthwhile purchase for any serious FPS fan.
Feeling down? Work sucks? No free time? Things could be worse. You could be in a high security prison where guards carry more than batons and pepper spray and where playtime consists of fights to the death with other less than amiable inmates. Even worse, you could be in a movie tie-in game. Unfortunately for Vin Diesel, his character, Riddick, is in such a situation in the game prequel to the movie Pitch Black. Luckily for all PC gamers (and Xbox owners before them), Riddick re-writes the rule book on movie licensed games.
First person shooters are hardly in short supply on the PC. The platform is home to the best the genre has to offer and has recently seen what is set to be the game of the year, Half-Life 2. It would be easy to brush Riddick off as another console to PC port that isn't worth your time, but that would be a mistake. Riddick is one of the best PC action games this year, and this Developer's cut offers PC gamers some exclusive features. The plot is simple, escape from Butcher Bay high security prison. As you may expect, this isn't an easy thing to do.
'The sparingly used lighting plays a key part in creating a genuinely foreboding environment'
Technically the game uses all the current buzzwords in the industry to create a look that can compete with the recent PC big hitters, but it's the games moody atmosphere that stands out. The sparingly used lighting plays a key part in creating a genuinely foreboding environment to play in. Gangs hang out menacingly and other inmates go about their business, creating a believable working prison; each inmate has his own personality and look. Riddick himself casts shadows on the environment and is modelled with a brilliant likeness, shown off when the camera switches to a third person view for certain actions, such as ladder climbing and recharging health.
The on screen HUD is minimal with only a health bar (which uses a recharge mechanism similar to that of Halo) appearing on screen. This lack of information that has become almost mandatory in a videogame makes for a very involving experience. Much like Namco's Breakdown, combat is not limited to guns. Riddick has a very well implemented hand-to-hand combat mechanism that is more than just a gimmick. A lot of the game is played without Riddick carrying a weapon. Punches are thrown and blocks are made with ease, making hand-to-hand combat more than just a gimmick plastered on the back of the box. Good timing can result in some impressive combo's and when taking on an armed guard you can pull off some wonderfully brutal disarm manoeuvres.
Using weapons is equally as satisfying. There is no crosshair, normally found in games of this type, just a laser sight. Targeting zones are forgiving to the player, but never make the game too simple. Fire-fights are always fun due to the enemies excellent AI; they are seen running and ducking for cover. While this is nothing new, it works well to make for some exciting shootouts. Of course, the now standard melee attack can be performed when in close quarters to an enemy, and when used at the right moment it packs a killer punch.
Anyone familiar with the Film Pitch Black will know that Riddick has the ability to see in the dark and that ability plays a major part in the game, even though you don't start the game with it. After an extremely unnerving section, battling dwellers in some underground tunnels, you learn how Riddick got his special ability and it wasn't by eating a lot of carrots. Switching into this night vision mode makes Riddick's eyes extremely sensitive to light and it is impossible to see anything if there is more than ambient lighting in the area. This vision mode looks very cool, but must be used in the right situations so you don't hamper your vision unnecessarily.
'Being the cold killer Riddick is, he loves to sneak up on people and break their necks'
Seeing as you are trying to escape, Riddick must lay low, so stealth occasionally plays an important part to the gameplay. Crouching will put you in stealth mode; if you are hidden from view the screen will take a blue tint and distort slightly. You can move around like this unseen from guards. This works well, but there are moments where you think a guard should have seen you, but just walks straight past. It is a minor flaw and never hurts the gameplay enough to detract from the game, but seems a little unrealistic. Being the cold killer Riddick is, he loves to sneak up on people and break their necks; this move is very satisfying and is the best way to kill enemies when bullets are scarce or when you have to try and remain unnoticed. Killing a guard in the patrol path of another isn't a wise move. The dead body will alert him and the alarm will be raised, creating a very difficult situation for Riddick. Riddick can drag bodies around and placing them in dark corners or behind crates is the best course of action.
Matching the games stunning visuals is the equally good soundtrack. It could have come straight from a Hollywood movie and fits with the mood of the game perfectly. Voice acting is top notch with all characters in the game giving good performances; Vin Diesel in particular is excellent, delivering his lines with a tone perfectly suited to a cold blooded killer. Sound effects are also excellent and pack a punch suitable for the visceral onscreen action. It should be no surprise in a game this violent, but there is a liberal amount of swearing in the game. Make no mistake, this is a game for a mature audience.
It is hard to criticise a game so lovingly created as this, but there are a few little blemishes. The game is a great experience, but it is a short one, even with the newly added section to the PC version of the game. While some would argue that a ten to twelve hour game is too short to warrant a purchase, the quality is high throughout and is much more enjoyable than a game padded out by mediocre tedious areas added to lengthen a game. The developers have added some reason to play through the game, with the newly added developer's commentary providing the biggest reason to do so. Commentary tracks appear as floating objects throughout the game, meaning you can listen to as many as you want while you play through the game, should you choose to do so. It really is a great and original feature that will surely be copied in future high profile releases. Cigarette packets can also be collected to open extras about the games development, which is a nice touch, but not as entertaining as the commentary mode.
The lack of a multiplayer mode is disappointing, but as the game was always intended to purely be a single player game it would be unfair to criticise. While the game looks stunning, some of the character models have noticeable seems and the game can bog down, even on a high-end machine.
Riddick is a game that will be passed over by many gamers, expecting it to offer nothing more than under-par console FPS action. While the game is a console port and pretty short, it is an experience to remember and the additions made to the PC version make it a worthwhile purchase for any serious FPS fan.

Luke Easter
A Strong Woman Vs. A Woman Of Strength - Poem by Luke Easter
A strong woman works out every day,
Pride in her appearance she portrays,
But a woman of strength kneels to pray,
Her soul in shape, God leading the way.
A strong woman claims she isn't afraid of anything,
Looking forward to challenges each day will bring,
Women of strength show courage in the midst of fear,
Declaring triumph through faith because God is near.
Strong women won't let anyone get the best of them,
So skilled in defenses even if they have to pretend,
Yet a woman of strength gives her best to everyone,
And even on a cloud filled day still bright as the sun.
A strong woman relies on the physical attributes making her tough,
In her search for power and money she will never have enough,
A woman of strength understands that it's not about material stuff,
Knowing that before becoming a diamond first she'll be in the rough.
A strong woman sometimes disguises her feelings shadowed by clouds,
Unhinged when challenged on her policy becoming boisterous and loud,
A woman of strength concerns herself not with judgment from others,
And will not let business interfere with commitments as a wife and mother.
A strong woman is easily impatient back and forth she will begin to pace,
Counting on her holier than thou attitude instead of depending on faith,
A woman of strength is assured trust in God will always carry her through,
And at the Creator's appointed time she'll receive all that is justly due.
A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same for tomorrow,
Refusing to take time looking back with reverence and Godly sorrow,
The woman of strength realizes life's mistakes no matter how slim,
While thanking God for the blessings as she capitalizes on them.
A strong woman walks head first with no doubt in her mind,
No matter what, she'll not make this mistake a second time,
But a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls,
So when a situation arises again, she's not afraid to answer the call.
A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face,
Always doing whatever it takes to finish, seeking only first place,
The woman of strength competes with an emotional sense of grace,
Understanding it's more important to run a Holy Spirit filled race.
A strong woman has faith that for the journey she'll have enough,
No matter how uneven the terrain or roads being rocky and rough,
A woman of strength knows it's in the journey she will become strong,
And the love of God is forever with her, no matter how difficult or long.
A strong woman when uninformed thinks that she is being mistreated,
In the end her physical attributes fail causing doubt to become seeded,
A woman of strength will compromise as a little give and take is needed,
Why? Because a lesson not learned the first time is soon to be repeated.
Ladies start everyday on your knees with supplication & prayer,
Trust and believe that God will always get you from here to there,
And should your giant steps seem to be moving only inch by inch,
The journey is not as A Strong Woman but A Woman Of Strength.
Realize his-story is not the preverbal or only meaning of the word history,
Read the poem titled, 'Women Preachers & Pastors In The Ministry? '
This male chauvinistic attitude's deceitfully titled, 'The Same Old Song, '
No wonder society thinks a woman can't compete & this is totally wrong.
Difference between farther & further,1 is distance,1 is to understand,
Where Motherhood is instinctive however it has to be learned by man,
A woman carries a life form up to & maybe more than 9 months long,
Man can't stand to be with a crying for baby 2 hours and he is strong?
It is thousands of years later, man still cries, 'first the woman was deceived, '
As Adam looked at God and said, 'it was that woman you gave me' oh Eve?
It always happens that when things go wrong we are quick to pass the blame?
Sin didn't manifest till Adam ate the fruit as well but he put it on Eve's name.
Every woman is a catalyst for any little girl to become the same,
So the question is what will be the consequences from her name?
Strong relays an outward appearance yet under pressure it cracks,
And only through strength will she be able to withstand the attack.
Girls beware, because the road traveled is both winding and long,
And for this very reason you will surely have to more than strong,
This should inform you that an arduous trek is measured in length,
The main reason it takes intestinal fortitude only found in strength.
Now for an excellent example relaying exactly what we mean,
The United States Marine Corps, 'Female Engagement Team, '
Women in Afghanistan not in rear support yet on the front line,
Not so much physically strong as through strength in the mind.
Isn't it amazing disciples from miraculous powers were big and strong,
Peter cut off a servant's ear but denied Christ 3 times it didn't last long,
Yet two Mary's and Salome the weaker sex faithfully stood by at length,
Face to face with adversity you will only pass through fire with strength.
Blacks sat in the back of the bus for years although it was wrong,
Now imagine how many men complied who were big and Strong,
But, it was a female, Rosa Parks, who would not budge one inch,
Yet another example of what it means for women to have Strength.
Certain things capture your eye but pursue only those that capture the heart,
Although an, 'Ancient Indian Proverb' yet Solomon gave the verse its start,
Likewise, don't seek after frivols material things that only make you Strong,
For Strength is the seed of eternal roots to remain even after you're gone.
The association of motherhood is something truly unique,
And only through inner Strength can you reach your peak,
As the Strongest will tire from repetitions they must repeat,
Because the latter without proper rest is destined to be weak.
Imagine how tough women have to be not just bearing and raising their child,
While at the same time many have to control their spouse from running wild,
A single or married mom with a tight knit family that's united for any length,
Not so much from a Strong Woman as it is through, 'A Woman Of Strength.'
With all the aforementioned qualifications it is a mystery,
Why many believe women should not preach in the ministry,
Birth, feed, raise, clothe and impact men with knowledge,
Of a multitude of wisdom they'll never receive in college.
This poetic tribute is a, 'Shout-Out' to any woman everywhere,
Seemingly impossible circumstances faced head on the scare,
By the armor of faith fear of the unknown shall not make a dent,
They are withstanding not by outward Strong but inner Strength.

I liked to review and recite this poem 2nd time owing to the importance the poem deserves. In each and every line of the poem the contents have a clear message to the world woman which is praiseworthy and inspirational. Woman who were gone through neglect and suppression of male dominance was sidelined for a long period but the period now passing through the transformation of freedom, equality, and justice to all through able movements from both sides male and female and getting adequate representations in different forums of administration, education, and all avenues but still to go to forward. Surely this kind of poem will make changes in the attitude in good terms of the subject and the poet's sayings that they are withstanding not by outward strong but inward strength which fascinated me as a simple reader of good poetry.

It is a woman empowerment poem and having strength of mind and character which always helps to lead a good life to a woman. Nice and good. (Report) Reply

A strong woman has faith that for the journey she'll have enough,
No matter how uneven the terrain or roads being rocky and rough,
A woman of strength knows it's in the journey she will become strong,
And the love of God is forever with her, no matter how difficult or long.
.......the woman of strength becomes strong. does that make her another strong woman? i couldn't help saying that. i believe many women are a combination of the two types you write about.
Difference between farther & further,1 is distance,1 is to understand,
Where Motherhood is instinctive however it has to be learned by man,
A woman carries a life form up to & maybe more than 9 months long,
Man can't stand to be with a crying for baby 2 hours and he is strong? ...i don't get the first line of this stanza. AND check for words in incorrect order in the last fourth line.
And for this very reason you will surely have to more than strong, .....have to more....where's the be? oops.
Likewise, don't seek after frivols material things that only make you Strong, ...i looked up frivol and found:
3rd person present: frivols
behave in a frivolous way.
mid 19th cent.: back-formation from frivolous.
Translate frivols to
Use over time for: frivols
i liked your use of rosa parks in the poem. i don't follow preachers, but, if i did, i'd have no problem with females doing the job as long as they were competent. thanks for sharing. and you had help from dee cheeks? :) one reason i point out mistakes in other poets' poems is that i would like to have MY mistakes pointed out so i can correct them, and i hope other poets feel the same. i hope you didn't mind!

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Bethenny Frankel
- 2010
Pregnant & Married on TV
After leaving the Real Housewives of New York City, Frankel takes center stage with her spin-off Bethenny Getting Married?, which becomes Bravo's highest-rated series premiere ever. Chronicling her engagement, wedding and Bryn's birth, the series is quickly picked up for a second season with a new title: Bethenny Ever After.
- 2011
Skinnygirl Cash Cow
Fortune Brands Inc. acquires Frankel's Skinnygirl cocktails for a price tag upwards of $100 million, and the ready-to-drink, low-calorie Skinnygirl Margarita goes nationwide. Frankel next launches Skinnygirl Sangria – but her success hits a roadblock: In May, ex-managers sue Frankel for a share of her multimillion-dollar deal. Frankel disputes the charges, telling PEOPLE: "Let's be clear, I'm a strong woman. I am not afraid and I won't be bullied by something with zero merit."
- 2012
Girl Talk
Following a successful summer test run on Fox TV stations, Frankel's talk show, Bethenny, is picked up for national syndication in 2013. "Hosting a talk show this summer and connecting with women every day made me realize that I have found my true passion," she says. "My heartfelt thanks go out to my dedicated fans who tuned in and helped this great opportunity happen." Following low ratings, the show is canceled in early 2014.
Separate Ways
Following months of growing discontent, Frankel and husband Hoppy decide to divorce. "This was an extremely difficult decision that as a woman and a mother, I have to accept as the best choice for our family," Frankel says in a statement, adding that the pair is committed to co-parenting their 2½-year-old daughter, Bryn.
- 2013
Starting Over
Frankel opens up to PEOPLE about her new life as a single mom and talk show host. "Men aren't a priority right now – at all," she says, adding she's handling her surprisingly acrimonious divorce with a simple thought in mind. "I'm not going to be afraid and I'm not going to get more than I can handle."
- 2014
Ready for Love
After saying "men aren't a priority," Frankel gives love another chance with financier Michael A. Cerussi III, with whom she rings in 2014. "Bethenny was with Mac and looked very happy on New Year's Eve," a source tells PEOPLE. "They kissed at midnight and other times during the evening. They looked like they were having a great night."
She's Back!
The Skinnygirl mogul announces her return to The Real Housewives of New York City, four years after leaving it behind to pursue other projects, including her now-defunct talk show. "I'm excited," Frankel tells PEOPLE. "It feels like the first season when it was fresh and new and unknown."

TWENTY four-year-old Edward Downey from Kilkenny will be attempting a Malin to Mizen challenge with a difference starting on Saturday, September 22nd next.
He is bidding to smash the record for travelling between Ireland's most northerly and southerly points … on a skateboard!
Edward aims to complete the 412-mile trek in seven days, breaking the existing record of 11 days.
He is undertaking the mammoth task as part of a fundraising campaign in Kilkenny to help provide a skate-park in the city, which is currently the largest town in Ireland without a dedicated skate-park facility.
Two groups, Urban Sports Kilkenny and Kilkenny360 were founded in recent years to support local skateboarders, rollerbladers and bmx-ers who have been campaigning for a skate-park facility for several years.
