Closing the road!
October 4, 2013
I can't believe they are going to close the road coming off the Main Pike Road, down to the Old Pike Road....
Can't this woman ever write anything positive? All she does is complain about everything, it gets boring.

I don't often agree with Sham on his posts, but he hit the nail on the head with this one. Honestly, adding an additional 1.5 miles to your journey requires a LTE? There are children going without enough to eat, people loosing their jobs and/or homes, people dying of cancer and what bothers you enough to write a LTE is 1.5 extra miles to drive??? So sad!

"Why did the state even patch that section if they knew they were going to close it?."--Donna
You just don't understand how government works. The money was allocated to fix the road before the decision to close it. Once the money is allocated, it has to be spent no matter what. In fact, it was probably fast tracked so they could be sure to get the repairs done before it was closed. I wish this was sarcasm, but it is not. It is actually how government works. I've seen the military spend millions fixing up buildings that were then closed immediately after being fixed. What's worse is that they have stupid regulations that require businesses to do similar wasteful things. It's the way bureaucracies think.

you mean the back way to sylvan dell? all that money to maintain that road for a half dozen motorists?" - radioactive
...Especially when that stretch can be so "entertaining" (downhill), when it's snow-packed!!!!!!!

"Did the state even consider the people who work and rely on that road to get home? If they close it in 2014, we will have to come down Route 15 to the turn off on the right, which is a good mile and a half extra just to get to our homes." - Donna J. Lambert
Seriously...you want to complain about driving an additional mile-and-a-half, each day??
Would Life be more-convenient, for you, if you were unemployed?

I didn't think they were closing it completely. Wasn't it was only going to change to one-way at the southern end; presumably one-way heading north to limit cars pulling out of that end to head south?

Sounds about right to me

Selecting a Safe Sitter
By Mary Rachui, RN-C, MS, manager, women's health education, Presbyterian Women's Center
Selecting a babysitter is a critical factor for your child's safety and your peace of mind. For all parents, selecting a trustworthy caregiver while you are away from home can be a challenge, and for new parents, it can be a confusing one.
While there are agencies that provide in-home child care, in most circumstances, you will select a babysitter based on recommendations. You want to use the right sources for those recommendations, starting with people you trust or seeking leads from reputable youth organizations.
Even with a recommendation, ask potential babysitters for references and check them! If your child is very young, you should select a sitter with experience.
Selecting a Sitter
You will want to consider the sitter's qualities and qualifications. For qualities, it is a balancing act. They should be able to relate to the children yet be firm enough to keep them in line. Using age-appropriate games and activities, the sitter should be able to keep the child entertained and happy, yet needs to be comforting if the child is unhappy. They need to be firm enough to make them behave yet not a strict authority figure. And finally, the sitter should be able to be levelheaded in an emergency.
For qualifications, you may want to consider someone who has:
Get to Know the Sitter
By planning ahead and locating a sitter before you need one, you won't feel rushed and can consider your choices. It also can give the sitter, child and you time to become acquainted.
As you interview potential babysitters, trust your gut feelings. They have nothing to do with logic. If you have an uneasy feeling about an applicant, they are not the right one for you. You will want to pay for quality. A good babysitter may cost more, but a person who takes the health and safety of your child seriously will be worth it.
You may choose to have the sitter over for lunch or to hire the sitter for a time you need to get some things done at home. This allows you to observe the interaction between the sitter and child and gives them an opportunity to get familiar with your home and the children with you available to be a resource.
Sitter Rules
Rules for sitter behavior must be clear from the beginning. Never assume they will know your expectations, even about no alcohol or smoking. The goal for any rule is for safety and to keep the sitter's focus on the child. Not allowing friends to visit and limiting phone and computer use can help prevent distractions. If the sitter will be using the home phone, make sure he or she knows how to use the call waiting feature so you can reach them if needed.
The sitter must also know the child's restrictions regarding play, television viewing and computer time or sites. Be clear what food and drink items are available for the sitter and children. And finally, make sure your child knows the sitter is in charge while you are away.
Emergency Preparation
Give the sitter a tour of the home, pointing out safety features like nightlights, phones, smoke detectors, flashlights, security systems and first-aid supplies. Keep emergency information next to a phone and make sure the sitter knows where to find this information:
Sitter Safety
Remember the sitter is a young person and you have a responsibility to keep them safe as well. Review how they should respond to phone calls inquiring for you or how to handle any visitors to the door while you are away. And finally, if you are not driving them home, make sure they leave in the care of a responsible adult or verify their safe arrival if they drive themselves.
For more information about our Super Sitter class, including dates and registration, call 704-384-CARE (2273). (Sitter names not available through this program).

Both incredible transformations in such short time spans! Impressive.
Every time I check out this thread, I end up yelling "NO WAY!" or "INSANE!" or "WHAT??!!" or "GET OUT!" or "SHUT UP!" or "THAT'S CRAZY!"

Mal, what can I say except.... Great Arse!!
You are looking hot chicky!
My Journal
Mal those are great photos. You are doing so well and looking good.
While your progress on the outside is commendable (it certainly is!), what's really great is your humble but fighting spirit that we hear in your voice. You inspire people that are in the path you trod, and the ones coming from the opposite (overweight) direction.
Remember that we all make ripples ... you have NO IDEA how many people you have impacted in a postitive light.
I salute you. Thank you and keep on keepin' on.
Congrats Malpaz !
Now, could you put a great smile on your face for us ? BTW, it's nice to see someone else from Quebec province !
thank you debbie, that means a lot!!!
schneider haha ill have a smile to go with the bod today, its tailgating up at campus so ill snap some pics...hopefully there wings and brisket too!
Get on my Level
a feels like an 8 lb difference in the course of a day with feelings of bloating is really quite normal. if someone weighs themselves in the morning, it's likely to be the lightest, and sometime mid day--assuming one's been relatively stagnant at work--is likely to be higher (including feelings of feeling bloated, etc), and then usually after exercise another water loss, and then a sort of evening out just before bed. Honestly, for me, it is actually about a 4 lb difference throughout the day!
also, common around the female cycle--right around fertility and around menses (for me, right before it starts). i consider this hormonal and appropriate--no real problem.
so, i wouldn't worry about the fluctuation itself, just the "feelings" you have around it--that you feel not-so-great about yourself at that time, but then at other times of the day you do. That's definiltey something to observe. I find that stress has a relationship with those feelings, so it might be interesting to check out in yourself.
You are doing great, Mal, really great.

Teenagers Tyler and Cheyenne Osburn learned early in life about hardship: their father, Billy, a guitar player in a rock band, died when they were infants. Their mother, Liz, a hairdresser, was badly injured while burning trash in their backyard in 2007 and permanently disabled.
When she died of a heart attack two weeks before Christmas 2011, Tyler was 18 and a senior in high school, and Cheyenne was 16 and a junior.
"I was so scared of not having a mom, having no one to come home to, having to deal with grown-up things like bills," says Cheyenne. "I felt so alone."
But she and her brother soon discovered they weren't alone. In a town of approximately 8,000, friends, neighbors and strangers reached out to help the Osburn kids survive and stay in the only home they'd ever known.
Their mom's friends Gwen Babin and Karen Labatut agreed to be the children's legal guardians and started a rotation with family friend Pam Taylor, taking turns cooking dinner and staying overnight at the teens' home. A men's Bible study group mowed their lawn. A local pizza business donated meals. And Jackie Dantin, head of the local nonprofit Community Christian Concern Inc. set up a fund to help pay their monthly mortgage, groceries and other bills through this summer.
"The timing [of Liz's death] made it especially sad, because it was Christmas and their father had died at the same time of year," says Dantin. "And these were teenagers, good teenagers, left alone with responsibilities they could not begin to understand."
Some Worries Still ExistThe community's efforts have ensured both kids were able to be cared for in their home and live together throughout high school.
"I am very proud of the people of our community," says Dantin. "People gave of their money and of their time. It was truly a community effort, one that gave two orphaned kids a little bit better chance in life. And we met our goal, Cheyenne has graduated and is planning to attend college. Being able to stay in her home means everything to her."
Tyler, now 19, is working in construction, and Cheyenne, now 17, who earned As and Bs throughout high school, will start college classes nearby – and say they feel blessed to have the support of their town.
They still worry about how they will continue to make ends meet and if they will be able to remain in their home, but Tyler says he will do everything he can to make sure they do.
"I think about [my mom] every single day," says Tyler. "After she passed away, I felt really lost. My sister gives me hope. It's my instinct to protect her. I'm going to be there for her no matter what."
Cheyenne says that her high school classmates were supportive of her plight, though they couldn't relate to what it was like to be without parents.
"I never thought all these people would want to help so much," she says. "It's been amazing."

You don't need to put the recovery server in a different domain. The same
domain is fine. Give it a different NetBios name. When you install Exch
Server, create a new site, but use the same names for the site and org as
the production server. You will be able to restore the IS, but not the
directory. Exchange can rebuild a directory (creating entries for all the
mailboxes) from just the IS.
If you want to test the DS along with the IS, you need to make a 'copy' of
your domain on a separate network. This takes two servers. Setup a server
as a BDC on your main network. Remove the machine from your main network
and put it on your recovery network. Promote it to PDC. Create your
recovery exch server (in the same mode as your production server: BDC or
member server) in the recovery network. Give it the same netbios name as
the production server. Install Exch, create a new site and org with the
same names as the production server.
See http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/te...kupRestore.htm and
newsgroup microsoft.public.exchange.admin for more info.

At last, I have given up using Burgundy as a reference point for New World Pinot Noir. It has taken me two decades to do so and I feel somewhat guilty about this. I don't do it with New World Cabernet and Claret and I long ago cast off the Cornas or Crozes and 'cool climate' Shiraz mantle, so I don't know why Pinot has taken me so long. None of my notes now read 'Morey-like', 'Gevrey-earthiness' or 'Volnay-textured'. This is like some sort of vinous confessional, but I admit that in the past, it was useful for me to use 'village' names or particular 'Domaine styles' as a note-making tool, given that Burgundy will, at least for my lifetime, remain the global model for this, the most awesome and mesmerising of grapes – the mighty Pinot Noir. But I feel that it is now time to move on and there are fifty wines below that might convince you of this, too. The reason for my life change is that many New World countries now make their own, definitive and regionally exact versions of Pinot Noir. They have their own world-renowned gurus and well defined geographical Pinot-friendly sub-regions. Vine age is rolling along nicely and clonal selection is a more finite and less haphazard skill. If you are not already on board with this sensational news, then shame on you. Don't beat yourself up too much though, because this wave of non-Burgundian Pinot Noir excellence is a relatively new phenomenon. I published my first 'Great New Zealand Pinot Noir Classification' in late 2007, in my annual wine guide 'Taste 2008′ (co-authored by Brisbane's Tyson Stelzer). We felt that it was time that someone compiled a guide to those estates who were really getting it right in this specialist, but admittedly rather esoteric (if crowded) field. It seemed to us that so many people were ham-fistedly mucking up the allure and magic contained in a great bottle Pinot, and we were happy to stick our necks out and say who'd got it right and who'd dropped the ball. Job done, we are both still here and we have moved on. I am happy to report that Australia has sneaked up on the outside lane with Pinot in the last few years and there is a large choice of superb wines available at all prices, and they are on our shelves, too. The same cannot be said for the wines from North America. California and Oregon Pinot still tends to give me the heebee-geebies. There is very little shipped into the UK these days of any great quality (I think those dastardly Americans keep all of the top stuff for themselves), so I have worked hard on tracking down the very best for your delectation – they are pretty dear, but I will not waste your pounds – certainly not at this time of great financial crisis. South Africa is in this list, with three good wines, and there are more to come, but they have other grapes to concentrate on right now, so don't hold your breath. Chile and Argentina try hard, but they are not firmly in the Pinot zone yet. I must do better next time, but they must do, too. I tasted a Patagonian range the other day, which is threatening to make it to our shores, soon (at scary prices, though) which did raise an eyebrow or two, and then there were some awesome German and Austrian Pinot Noirs, too (but they are not in the New World are they?). So for now, amuse yourselves with this fantastic range of wines. I truly believe that Pinot Noir is finally getting the worldwide recognition that it deserves for its non-Burgundian creations. I also know a few French superstars who not only respect the efforts of their counterparts abroad, but who also see reasons to raise their own game even further – now that really is great news.
2005 Piper's Brook The Lyre Pinot Noir, Tasmania, Australia
With more purity and less muscle than the equally brilliant but as yet unreleased 2005 PN Reserve, this is an ethereal creation studded with precision and beauty – Tasmania is finally showing its valid, vineyard-specific credentials.
2005 Pirie Sigma Pinot Noir, Tasmania, Australia
Dr. Andrew Pirie's reaction to the 2005 vintage in Tasmania is as unnervingly assured, detailed and original as the man himself.
2006 Ten Minutes by Tractor McCutcheon Vineyard Pinot Noir, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia
This is the spectacular and flamboyant Mornington at its enviable best with lashings of layered, boisterous red and black fruit and a heavenly, brocaded finish.
2007 10X Pinot Noir, Ten Minutes by Tractor, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia
TMBT's baby Pinot is chunky, bold and dark and it is a joy to drink even though it is a little like a headstrong teenager on a Friday night jamboree.
2007 Ashton Hills Vineyard Reserve Pinot Noir, Adelaide Hills, South Australia, Australia
There is nothing to touch the integrity and reward in the 'guru's' (Stephen George's) Adelaide Hills Pinots. Once Pinot central and now a 'cool climate' Shiraz haunt – this wine is a beacon as to why a lot of people have got AH wrong.
2007 Craggy Range Pinot Noir Calvert Vineyard Central Otago, Australia
Three wines in this list come from one vineyard in Central Otago – it is clearly one of the most important Pinot Noir sites in the world. Utterly mesmerising.
2007 De Bortoli Yarra Valley Estate Grown Pinot Noir, Victoria, Australia
Steve Webber and his team build thrilling wines from their entry level stunner, right to the top. No one in the Southern Hemisphere comes close to this depth of field in their Pinot armoury.
2007 Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir, Central Otago, Australia
The finest Pinot portfolio in New Zealand boasts a complete range of iconic wines – this is the most dramatic and audacious. It fizzles with magic and promise and delivers everything you would wish of it.
2007 Paringa Estate Peninsula Pinot Noir, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia
Preferred to the Reserve (which is often a little oaky) this is a succulent and foresty, dark wine with gamey appeal and superb attack on the nose and palate.
2007 PHI Pinot Noir, Lusatia Park, Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia
This beautiful single vineyard (possibly uniquely in the world, grows Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Pinot at world class standards) gives us a siren sound of wild berry fruit and the slipperiest palate imaginable.
2007 The Sabre Pinot Noir, Riposte by Tim Knappstein, Adelaide Hills, South Australia, Australia
Tim's unerring accuracy with this grape (this is not an expensive wine) is a direct reflection of his years of experience. A briary and layered Pinot, this is as exciting as any European medium-weight red regardless of variety!
2007 William Downie Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia
Bill Downie's wines are enigmatic and often puzzling on first sip, but spend time unraveling them and laying out the pieces on your palate and the inevitable eureka moments are extraordinary.
2007 Yabby Lake Pinot Noir, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia
Yabby's unstoppable march to the top of the Aussie Pinot League continues unchallenged with this masterly 2007. Structured, youthful and crammed with energy, this is a wine with attitude.
2008 De Bortoli Gulf Station Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia
Ten pounds only and ahead of every other PN on the planet, this wine should be allowed to age for 12 months before it's devoured, but not one bottle will get that pleasure as no one will wait that long.
2008 De Bortoli Windy Peak Pinot Noir, Victoria, Australia
Windy is a wine that has changed the climate of Pinot opinion, once and for all – this grape really can offer true value for money as well as the ultimate sensory experience.
2008 Devils Corner Pinot Noir, Tasmania, Australia
Tassie is not designed to make inexpensive Pinot, but this wine bucks the trend and it does it with earth, spice and grip as well as fruit – smart work!
2008 Swan Bay Pinot Noir, Scotchman's Hill, Victoria, Australia
The 'second' PN from Scotchman's Hill is, unlikely as it might seem, a better wine that the estate version due to its purity, lack of overt oak and layered red fruit palate. The UK has had it for years, but no one buys it. Why?
2006 Au Bon Climat Isabelle Morgan Pinot Noir, California
The top wine from PN pioneers ABC is well worth the experience with its spice and exotic fruit rollercoaster ride. The oak here is as extraordinary, too, and it is just one sector of a devastatingly attractive wine.
2006 Capiaux Wilson Vineyard Pinot Noir, California
Only 175 barrels are made of this wine, so best of luck finding any (there is some in the UK), but it was one of only eight wines at the annual Californian Wine Tasting to make this list – it did it by being shockingly reserved, composed and completely and utterly beautiful.
2006 Caymus Belle Glos Clark & Telephone Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley, California
40 year old Santa Maria fruit and a palate loaded with spice, smoke and sweet and sour, almost Piemontese fruit notes, make this a valuable addition to the international palette of first class New World Pinot. This is a wine which widens horizons.
2006 Gary Farrell Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, Hallberg Vineyard, California
With bold, black cherry fruit and a firm kick of power and bravado, this is a rich, lusty, brooding Pinot with more intensity than many could handle, but you should all have a go to see what's possible!
2006 Littorai Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma County, California
A savoury, dense, delicious and multifaceted Pinot with incredible palate intensity, but no heat or unwanted oak on the finish (unlike 2/3 of Californian Pinots). This is a sensational wine.
2006 Marmesa Reed Harvest Dessert Pinot Noir, California
The joker in the pack – a sweetie with a boozy strawberry palate and a cranberry-sharp finish. Utterly addictive and a bit of a laugh, but essential glugging if you are a true Pinot freak.
2006 Paul Hobbs Russian River Pinot Noir, California
I prefer this wine to the single vineyard, more expensive 'Lindsay', by virtue of its Zen-like control and uninterrupted flow of beguiling flavours. Not the 'ice-cream menu' of many US Pinots, this is a wine riveted to its soil and I love it.
2007 Au Bon Climat Santa Maria Pinot Noir, California
The entry level Pinot for ABC is one of the finest wines in its distended portfolio. Raspberry and cream notes lick eagerly at the palate and they remind you that this estate cracked the code a very long time ago, while people today still pay inordinate amounts of money to consultants who cannot even find their backside with both hands.
2008 Secano Estate Pinot Noir (made by Viña Leyda), Chile
The only way to introduce the greater market to this grape is via a perfect example, but it must be at an attainable price. This is my choice from the entire UK market. Feel proud Leyda (and M&S) for your unrivalled missionary work.
2007 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir, Martinborough, New Zealand
The standard bearer for Martinborough and still the finest Pinot of its style, this is a wine that has so much complexity that you must treat with the respect that it commands. A modern-age trailblazer.
2007 Auntsfield Hawk Hill Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand
The softer Marlborough Pinot model is generous and welcoming but no less attractive than other more mineral models and this is one of the most intricate on offer.
2007 Bald Hills Single Vineyard Pinot Noir, Central Otago, New Zealand
A relatively new estate but one that has managed to grab the essence of the soil and immediately gain the traction and integrity that this grape desires. Drinking well already, but it will easily hold onto its elemental energy for years to come.
2007 Dashwood Estate Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand
It is a relief to know that some estates take their underling wines as seriously as the wine that wear their estate badge. Vavasour (Glen Thomas) is such a venue. Dashwood is a lip-smacking and exact example of this variety.
2007 De Bortoli Yarra Valley Reserve Release Pinot Noir, Victoria, Australia
Given a big swing at this Reserve wine it is delightful (and admirable) that De Bortoli is 'reserved' about the amount of oak and intensity of fruit on display. Bigger is not better here, but longer and finer is actively encouraged.
2007 Delta Vineyards Hatters Hill Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand
Matt Thomson is a highly accomplished winemaker and his Pinot genes are in place, too. But this very wine is the first Delta to fully recognise his talent and also realise the quality of the dirt in his vineyard – a delicious and thoughtful wine.
2007 Escarpment Pinot Noir, Martinborough, New Zealand
The great Larry McKenna is a laser-guided Pinot maker and his obsession seems to be in simply mirroring his vineyards in the glass – no more, no less. '07 Escarpment is true Martinborough Pinot – the unforgettable essence of these special sites.
2007 Forrest Estate Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand
The remarkable fact about this wine is that the price is wrong by a factor of two! Dr John answers this question with a very simple reply – 'it's the right price, everyone else is too expensive – this is great value Pinot Noir' – and he's right.
2007 Mt Difficulty Pinot Noir, Central Otago, New Zealand
This is another of those estates that flies beneath the radar and yet who cracked the Pinot enigma years before the legions of pretenders (many of whom are still deludedly off target!). This wine, and all of the other Pinots in the MtD portfolio, are unmissable and life-enhancing.
2007 Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir, Waipara , New Zealand
Pinot often involves pain and Peg Bay is not an easy pill to swallow, but where there is mystery and consternation, there is sometimes unbridled joy and elation – this is one of those wines.
2007 Peregrine Pinot Noir, Central Otago, New Zealand
A very high level wine, but one of the few that has retained its price for years, and this means that you can experience definitive Otago Pinot without breaking the bank – us Pinot freaks owe Peregrine a debt of gratitude for this cracking opportunity.
2007 Pyramid Valley Vineyards Growers Collection Calvert Vineyard Pinot Noir, Central Otago, New Zealand
The third Pinot from Calvert, but the mood reflects the winemaker and his name is Mike Weersing – as close to a wine visionary as I have found in recent years. His interpretation of this soil is phenomenal.
2007 Schubert Vineyard Block B Pinot Noir, Wairarapa, New Zealand
Chunky oak and robust fruit mark this as a keeper, but there is immediate beauty here, too, and this forward wine, from clearly a future classic piece of turf, is one to watch.
2007 Wither Hills Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand
A very popular wine and one that has always been made with 100% passion and commitment. The 2007 is phenomenal and it will be, as always, drunk two years too young!
2008 Ata Rangi Crimson Pinot Noir, Martinborough, New Zealand
Crimson is supposedly the wine to introduce you to its bigger brother, Ata Rangi PN (qv). Perversely, however, you need all of the Pinot knowledge in the world to truly understand just how special Crimson is. How funny is that – is the joke on us?
2005 Domaine Drouhin Cuvée Laurène Pinot Noir, Oregon
A leader of the pack in Oregon, but one that is consistently reliable as opposed to truly outstanding – until this vintage came along. Well done Drouhin.
2005 Lachini Vineyards Giselle Pinot Noir, Oregon
Oregon is not famous for overtly sexy Pinot Noir, preferring the 'librarian before spectacle removal and hair shake down' look, but this wine is utterly incredible with its pheromonal appeal.
2006 Beaux Frères The Beaux Frères Vineyard Pinot Noir, Oregon
Expensive, but worth it with the terrific texture and depth of flavour that is not won by chasing alcohol, but by nurturing vines.
2006 Chehalem Ridgecrest Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon
This estate is not yet in the UK, but someone for goodness sake put their hand up, because this wine is super-long and disconcertingly classy (like all of the others in the portfolio, too).
2006 Daedalus Cellars Labyrinth Pinot Noir, Oregon
Perhaps the entrancing nose, alluring flavour and romantic name did it for me, but I am not that shallow, am I? I went back for a second go and was even more transfixed by this wine – I hear that it is on its way to the UK very soon
2006 Elk Cove Reserve Pinot Noir, Oregon
One of the original Oregon heroes and this is why. Great terroir, truthful, non-flashy winemaking and a glass that makes you want the bottle and a bottle that makes you want another. Very few Oregon Pinot have this enviable characteristic.
2007 Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir, Walker Bay, South Africa
With less overt oak influence and an overall lighter chassis than you might expect, this is a wine that might confuse fans, but it has swept me off my feet with its undeniable, classically-dimensioned beauty.
2007 Bouchard Finlayson Galpin Peak Pinot Noir, Walker Bay, South Africa
With more horse-power than my other two SA Pinots, Galpin Peak is a youthful brute, but there is serious breeding here and this trio is the finest ever from the Cape.
2007 Chamonix Pinot Noir Reserve, Franschhoek, South Africa
One of the most remarkable properties in the country (the whites are sensational, too), this Pinot is every bit as alluring as the great wines from Otago and Mornington.

Andrew Keh of the NY Times on OKC's pregame prayer: "Indeed, despite its wide support in Oklahoma City, the invocation tradition does have some dissenters. They say that religious faith is out of place in the sports arena and that the prayer is not as inclusive as the Thunder make it out to be. Aamir Khan Mehdi, a fan who goes to several Thunder games a season and has attended every playoff game at Chesapeake Energy Arena since 2010, said he wished the invocation would be discontinued. Mehdi, who was raised a Muslim but is now an atheist, said he found the rhetoric of inclusiveness disingenuous. Whether or not the specific words are uttered, he said, the invocations take on the form of Christian prayer. And any prayer, he said, excludes those who are not spiritual."
I forgot to link Bill Simmons on the Thunder from his mailbag: "I gotta say — I love Thunder fans. And they spend money on their team — according to Forbes, Oklahoma City has the league's most expensive ticket right now — which makes it even sadder when OKC cheaps out and its loyal fans just accept it. That they continue to defend the indefensible Harden trade and email me every time Jeremy Lamb or Steven Adams looks good while overlooking things like "We could have just waited a year and traded Harden last summer" or "We cheaped out at the 2014 trade deadline as always and three days later we had 39-year-old Derek Fisher trying to defend a red-hot Jamal Crawford in crunch time on national TV" makes them genuinely endearing. At least for me. I hope my kids will always love me as unconditionally as much as Thunder fans love the Thunder."
Jimmer is "strongly leaning" towards the Bulls. Sad faces all around.
Jenni Carlson on the "Come on Russell! lady: "Then during the 2009-10 season, Westbrook became a lightning rod for criticism. He shot too much. He didn't let Durant shoot enough. He played with a chip on his shoulder. He couldn't possibly play alongside Durant for long. Susan Clark didn't understand it. "I'm like, 'Can you not see what an outstanding athlete this man is?'" she said. One night when Westbrook was going to the free-throw line, Clark heard some grumbling in the arena. She'd finally had enough. "Come on, Russellllllllll!" she shouted. That was the first time she did her yell, and it felt so good to show her support of Westbrook that she started doing it every time he went to the free-throw line."
And Granger is headed to the Clippers.
I talked with the camera guy that KD helped out last night, and he told the story here.
Darnell Mayberry: "Lamb is averaging just seven points on 36.1 percent shooting in 10 February games. He's scored in double figures only twice this month and is shooting just 29 percent on 3-point attempts Jackson, meanwhile, has been wildly erratic while bouncing between the second unit and the first string. His field-goal percentage has dipped every month this season, to its current low of 40.3 percent this month, and he's averaged just eight points on 30 percent shooting in the three games since Westbrook returned and moved him back to the bench. Their ineffectiveness is now saddling a second unit that, despite key losses in each of the last two offseasons, was establishing itself as one of the best in the business. For that group to regain what it had, the Thunder is counting on Jackson and Lamb."

Explosion, fire destroys Riverside home
TV news reports show nothing but debris
UPDATED 6:40 AM PDT Sep 06, 2013
An explosion and fire has destroyed a Riverside home but no injuries are reported.
The blast occurred before dawn Friday.
Television news reports show nothing but debris, with an apparent gas-pipe fire still blazing amid the debris.
Neighbor Craig Erickson tells KABC-TV that the force of the blast shook his home two doors away. He says the home was undergoing remodeling and he believes the family had moved out. He says the blast may have started in the garage.

Q: Can you tell me why my foster kitten might have fluid in her abdomen? I was told she has feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). I rescued her litter in the beginning of May from our local shelter and they were maybe 6-7 weeks at the time. They all developed URIs and had diarrhea, and were treated for that. The URI took a while to clear; they still have a little congestion and watery eyes. One kitty developed fluid accumulation about two weeks ago; it became very noticeable as her sides were sticking out. It has only gotten bigger and her back is bony. I can feel her spine and tailbone. She eats, drinks, uses the litterbox and will still groom herself. She isn't completely active but she isn't lethargic either. I've taken her to three vets. Two think it is FIP and the other thinks it is likely but not saying it is yet. Her X-ray just showed a fluid-filled abdomen. They put her on Panacur, Albon and Baytril, hoping it was maybe due to parasites. Nothing has really changed.I took her to a cat specialist today. Fluid was drawn from her belly and analyzed and the vet said it had characteristics of FIP fluid and that was what she thought it was. I'm wondering if there is anything else I should do to rule out other causes or determine it is in fact FIP. I am on a very limited budget and have gone broke with vet bills from my rescue animals. If it could be something else that I can possibly fix, I am willing to pursue it. I have cried my eyes out today knowing I will likely need to let her go and I just want to make sure that is the right thing to do and when I should do it. Anything you can share or offer would be so very much appreciated. A: A young kitten from a shelter with an abdomen full of fluid and a very bony spine is very likely to have feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). Other signs of FIP would be a fever that doesn't respond to antibiotics, and a high level of globulins in the bloodstream. You didn't mention whether she had a fever or whether bloodwork was performed. The blood test for coronavirus antibodies (FIP is a coronavirus) cannot definitively diagnose FIP, but most cats with FIP will show a high level of coronavirus antibodies in their bloodstream. You didn't mention whether you had this test performed or not. Frankly, I don't think it is necessary to do any further diagnostics. The fact that your cat had the abdominal fluid analyzed and that it had characteristics of FIP makes me certain that this little kitten does indeed have FIP. Taking it to a feline specialist was a good idea, because FIP is a tough disease to diagnose. If she (and two other vets) feels that this is FIP, then it probably is. As you surely know by now, FIP is not a treatable disease, and all cats succumb to the disease fairly quickly. I commend you for taking these kittens from the shelter and for pursuing a diagnosis with such dedication.
Jo Ann Lodgepol, NE
Thanks for this article. We will help us a lot with our rescue kittens. Is there a vaccine for this?
Yvonne Sidney, MT
I just lost my cat to FIP, her symptoms came on quickly. She had five beautiful kittens on Saturday and by Friday I had to put her down. She had a fever of 107.9 none of the antibotics the vet tried would lower her fever then her abdomen filled with fluid. They x-rayed her kidneys and one was enlarged. She was in a lot of pain could not nurse her kittens. But would purr for me. I miss her horribly and now am bottle feeding the five kittens. The vet dosn't think they are infected. Hopfully not.
Melissa Houston, TX
I just lost a cat to FIP, it's a horrible disease. He was a week shy of 1 year old, a beautiful maine coon. His symptoms came on very quickly, in 2 weeks it was over.
carol fallbrook, CA
Save the lives of our hurting feline friends. Read all of these articles on G-Strep : LINK There just might be a chance that it's NOT FIP. God bless you in this, Your servant in HIM, carol

"It is simply far too easy at present for these weapons to be bought and sold."
August 14, 2006, 01:40 PM
Just another irresponsible law repeating the unneccessary mistakes of nmine years ago.
I find it an insult that people this thick were ever elected. Says a lot about our voting people, doesn't it?
++Edit: Anyone know any computer shops/repair places that would hire a person with an HND in Tech Support?++

I thought they allready did this after the Battle of Culloden and the Act of Proscription in 1746.:scrutiny:
August 14, 2006, 05:01 PM
Disgraceful. That's all I can say really. Good news is that it's all so fluffy that it won't make any difference to anyone really, not even the law abiding. 'Reasonable steps'? So:
"Excuse me, you going to murder someone with this?"
"Ok, here you go."

From what I've read, it looks like the sellers will have to make a note of the customer's name and address.

all true scots should be required to own and carry the claidheamh mòr :P
August 14, 2006, 05:51 PM
There are more "True Scots" Living in the US than there are Living in Scotland, tust me on that.
The majority of the ones left in Scotland are Pussifyed Uber Liberals/Socialists.:barf:

and now he cant live in Scotland

Zedicus - agreed. The Scottish I've met here are all wonderful people.
August 14, 2006, 06:08 PM
Seeing as this is the Scottish Parliament, it won't affect me . . . yet! :what: I hope that this is not attempted here in England.
This is absolutely moronic, and I will say no more on the matter, because my words would all be of the curse variety. :cuss:
August 14, 2006, 07:32 PM
Given that the Scots drink more and do more violent crime than anyone in Western Europe, hmm. Nope. They should still be allowed to buy swords. We should probably just put a big fence at Hadrian's Wall and around some of the British urban areas and warn innocent people away :scrutiny:
August 14, 2006, 07:42 PM
Submit! Submit to the power of socialism gone insane. And the downward spiral of a society continues.

People walking around the streets with samuri swords, more than half of all murders done with sword or "other sharp objects" wow, thats interesting, but i know the reason all the sword ppl are killing all the other sword ppl..........
as stated before here,.........There can be, only one!
August 14, 2006, 08:19 PM
It amazes me that scots are going to let themselves be disarmed even symbolicly (sp), they've been through this before, and it didn't go well for them at that time either.

Most of the people still in Scotland are to Drunk/High to care in the slightest.
Cromlech: Seeing as this is the Scottish Parliament, it won't affect me . . . yet! I hope that this is not attempted here in England.
Unfortunately you can count on it happening, What happens first in Scotland, Happens Later in England.
(You need look no further than the Extreme gun Control resulting From Dunblane for an example)
If I were you, I would be making plans to Imigrate to the US, the US has it's problems to, but it's still WAY better than the UK.

An ovservation.
I have noticed that everytime someone poses a bbc article or other UK article on any weapons ban, especialy all these knife things...
... the article NEVER has any dissenting opinion. The closest to it is the one guy who says somthing along the lines of "this law will not fix the problem, we need even more!"
What? Even the US media isnt that obviously biased. That story quoted 5 people who agreed that the policy was a sound one.
Where is the guy who said "This is effing ridiculous!!!"?
Or does he really not exist? :uhoh:
August 15, 2006, 03:35 AM
It's a Combination of many British giving up on expressing Descent, and the BBC "Censoring" most comments.
August 15, 2006, 05:20 AM
Remember the '45!
August 15, 2006, 07:56 AM
To most British people, a knife (or sword or macheteetc) is a weapon, nothing more. Nobody uses proper knives (except a handful of bushcrafters, hunters, outdoorsman etc, and knife collectors of course) so they have lost all connection with practical use. The only time they see a folding knife or a machete is on the news when someone has been killed with one so gradually they have come to thhink of knives only as weapons.
It's interesting to note however that most stabbings in the UK involved cheap kitchen knives, not 'tactical' knives or machetes etc. Somehow, people have managed to ignore the fact that they use knives in the kitchen everyday, split them into two seperate worlds - evil knives that everyone else has, and my kitchen knives.
Then, years of media and government talk of 'too many people are carrying weapons' people have just been engrained with this idea that weapns are evil and need to be banned. It's genius really because now we have a situation where only outlaws and thugs carry weapons, so when someone like me calls for everyone to be able to, people immediately think everyone will end up like those thugs and outlaws.
August 15, 2006, 08:07 AM
I'd like to see a poll from the majority of people in Scotland and see their opinions on this matter.I suspect that the majority support this,since the vast majority supported the various other bans.
The fact is that this will only change if the views of the majority change.
Call tyranny of the majority if you will,but it's a myth that this is being forced on them by parliament.If the majority wants it,then let them have mob rule.
OTOH,I'm glad our founding fathers understood that mob rule doesn't work.
August 15, 2006, 11:03 AM
Airstrip One is lost.
August 15, 2006, 12:22 PM
You guys/gals from England, Scotland and Wales better buy your swords now.
Heck buy a knife or sword just to say screw you to the politicos.
August 15, 2006, 12:25 PM
I don't think we'll see this anytime soon in England. Some MP called for a ban on swords here in England and was shouted down as an idiot lol.
August 15, 2006, 12:52 PM

August 15, 2006, 02:15 PM
I thought England already had severe laws against carrying what we in most of the USA would consider ordinary pocket knives.
And just who are these gang members who commit most of the "blade crime" in Scotland? Are they native Scotts, or the decendants of recent immigrants?
For that matter, who and what are the "yobs" I keep hearing about?
August 15, 2006, 02:25 PM
@ munangokeewati:
Yes, we have pretty much identical laws on blade carry to California (our laws were modelled on theirs).
Unless you have a 'good reason' (such as a need for work or a specific task like camping or hunting) you can only carry a folding pocket knife with a cutting edge no greater than 3" in length. Arguably, the blade must not lock i.e. slip joint. This is not written in law, but there is a case where a judge said a locking blade was not a 'folding pocket knife'. Precedent was not set, but it could be your case that sets it, so best not to risk it IMO.
This new law (which is only in Scotland) is concerned with the purchase of knives, not their carrying.
Who are the people doing the stabbings? Mostly young, white males from poor backgrounds. What do they use? Kitchen knives mostly, otherwise cheap switchblades and 'rambo knives' like the tat you find on eBay for $5.
Exampleso of such little angels can be found, here:
August 15, 2006, 02:29 PM
There can only be ONE Highlander!!!
Yeah, but is it Duncan or Connor MacLeod?
Connor! Forget that dumb movie where they wrote Duncan killing him to gain his power--total BS.
(Duncan McLeod...don't make me laugh! :rolleyes: )
August 16, 2006, 10:12 AM
Lets make sure that the ban,doesn't drift,south of the border in to England and south-west-into Wales.:uhoh: :eek:

Measuring Market Power in the French Comté Cheese Market
Pierre R. Mérel
University of California, Davis - Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics
European Review of Agricultural Economics, Vol. 36, No. 1, pp. 31-51, 2009
A new empirical industrial organisation approach is used to measure seller market power in the French Comté cheese market, characterised by government-approved supply control. The estimation is performed on quarterly data at the wholesale stage over the period 1985-2005. Three different elasticity shifters are included in the demand specification, and the supply equation accounts for the existence of the European dairy quota policy. The market power estimate is small and statistically insignificant. Monopoly is clearly rejected. Results appear to be robust to the choice of functional form and suggest little effect of the supply control scheme on consumer prices.
Keywords: supply control, market power, NEIO, Comté cheese, protected designation of origin

Miami, FLORIDA -29 November 2011 – OpenJaw Technologies, a global leader in delivering online retail technology and services to the travel industry, today announced extensive new flight shopping capabilities of the xDistributor Platform Internet Booking Engine (IBE). Unlike other vendor offerings, all aspects of flight shopping (i.e. calendar/flexible search, fares pricing, availability, taxes, surcharges, schedules, branded Fare Families and up sell) are fully supported without sending a single message to a Global Distribution System (GDS). This advanced IBE is aimed at providing airlines with full control, major cost reductions, improved yield and effective brand promotion. The advanced flight shopping capabilities have been enabled by VAYANT Travel Technologies OneSearchTM fares pricing and shopping engine.
The xDistributor IBE seamlessly handles the complexities of airfare search and shopping, and delivers unrivalled levels of retail channel control and flexibility to the business. A comprehensive set of capabilities are independently delivered without expensive calls to a GDS, thereby greatly reducing the cost of flight shopping.
Access to worldwide multi-carrier inventory facilitates faster calendar searches and minimizes pre-booking stage failures, thereby improving conversion and customer satisfaction. This also enables airlines to effectively sell flights of code share, interline and alliance partners.
The xDistributor Platform flight shopping capabilities include:
- Fast and accurate "flexible dates" search with branded (Fare Family) calendar and other displays
- Fares pricing – full Fares and Rules implementation (ATPCO)
- Worldwide, multi-carrier availability
- Taxes (IATA) and surcharge calculation, schedule updates (OAG)
- Branded Fare Family offering without a need to update millions of fares
- Flight Up Sell (Fare Family and Cabin)
- Multiple flight display options
The xDistributor Platform is now the most advanced single retail platform for all flight, hotel, car rental, dynamic packages, redemption and other ancillary selling. As a comprehensive retail platform, xDistributor enables customers to introduce new functionality allowing them to effectively address key business problems, unlock additional opportunities and stay ahead of the competition.
"Flight shopping solutions provided by legacy players have cornered the flight shopping market for some time. With the world of airline distribution rapidly evolving there is now an economic imperative to decouple fare shopping from the traditional GDS model," said Kieron Branagan, CEO, OpenJaw Technologies. "Our agreement with VAYANT demonstrates our commitment to advancing in this market and delivering more choice and better value to airlines".
"We are extremely pleased to be working with OpenJaw, a global leader in travel distribution technology," said Brian Clark, VAYANT's CEO. "With the latest xDistributor IBE including VAYANT's OneSearch airfare shopping engine, two great technologies are now integrated to bring online travel retailers unrivalled search results and revenue capture capabilities, at a lower distribution expense."

Bali was a balm. I highly recommend anybody in dire need of a retreat to take a day or two from work over the weekend and just escape to a beautiful resort and live life at the pace of bebel gilberto's bossa nova for a stretch.
They say that geography changes everything. It's true. The mind mellows, grinds down to the stillness and the sublimity of an environment so completely tamed and dominated by nature. Perspectives are lost, gained, and castles rebuilt. The love of things and people is found. For a few precious days, the world is perfect. Then goodbye bali, goodbye bubble, hello real world.
God restores, things have shifted and the heart sees just a little more clearly. The process is slow, but no doubt radical at the root.

Knowing how to open existing projects is important but knowing how to create your own project is equally important. So in this movie I'd like to look at the ways that we can create a new Revit project. So I'm looking at the recent file screen that will greet me when I first launch Revit. And up here in the Projects location we have an open link which we used in the previous few movies. And right beneath that we have a new link. Now beneath that we also have several predefined items. There's a construction template, architectural template, structural, and so on. It's possible for you to create a new project from scratch, but that's typically not the recommended approach. What you typically want to do is start a new project from a template. Now, a template file in Revit is pretty similar to a template file in really any piece of software.
It's essentially a starting point. That template file contains within it, all of the settings and configuration that you would typically want to have at the beginning of any new project. The goal in creating a good template is to think about all of those settings and all of those features you would want any new project to have. And then you can save that as a template. And Revit ships with some basic templates to get us started. So if you wanted to, you could simply click one of these links and start with one of those templates. So if your discipline is architectural, you could click this architectural template, and it will start you with a basic starting point that's suitable for a pretty simple architectural project.
Now, let me just take a quick look around and show you what you get when you start with this architectural template. Over here on the project browser under views, you'll see that we've got a few floor plans, a couple ceiling plans, and four basic building elevations. So those elevations are actually these little symbols right here on screen. And so, we've got a north, south, east, and west. Now this is a really basic template and it only has a few settings within it. Some other things that you would find in this template is some standard content. So, I'm going to click this component button here on the ribbon, and then open up the list here.
And you can see that the content that's included in this basic architectural template is a desk, a parking space, and a tree. Not a whole lot by any stretch, there's a couple support items down here at the bottom. But, you know, some really basic, simple items to get you started. I'm going to click the Modify tool here to cancel. Let's contrast this with one of the other templates that are also available. So I'm going to go to the big R menu > New > Project. I'm going to click on Project, and that's going to open up the new project dialogue. I'll get the same list of built-in templates. There's the construction template, the structural, the mechanical. And there's also this Browse button right here. So I'm going to click on Browse.
And all of the templates that are installed with my system will be listed here in this folder. The one that I want to choose here is the Commercial-Default. If you're using Revit LT, the name is slightly different but the template is essentially the same. So, I'm going to click Open here to open that Commercial-Default and then OK. And if you look at the Project Browser this time, you're going to see that there's a few more views here under Floor Plans. We still have the same four elevation views.
If we scroll down a little further, we've got some schedules. Door Schedule, Window Schedule, and so on. And we've got some sheets. Now, a sheet is just simply a title block that has on it the Viewport that looks into one of those views up above. So this is a Viewport of our reflected ceiling plan, which is this view right here. That's what you see in this Viewport right there. So these sheets are already set up. So you can imagine that if your company had a standard title block, that standard title block could already be loaded here in this template. So that when you start a new project, you automatically get the standard title block, and all the other settings.
Now let's just go back to the Level 1 Floor Plan here. Let's click that Component button again. And, you'll notice here that we've got a few more items this time than we had in the standard architectural template. There's a, a light fixture here. There's a toilet fixture here. So, there's a couple more things. You may prefer to start with one of these templates instead of that standard architectural one but the choice is really up to you. I'm going to click the Modify tool to cancel. For the project that we're going to build in the next chapter, I'm going to start here with this commercial template just because it has a few more of those items in it.
So, what I'm going to do is go to my big R > Save. Because I've never named this project, it's going to ask me for a name. I'm going to put it on my desktop and give it a name. So when you want to create a new project in Revit, it's as simple as choosing an appropriate template to base your project on. Once you've got that template opened up you can save it, give it a name, and then proceed to start adding your building geometry. So in the next chapter we'll begin adding geometry to this project and building our building model.
Note: The techniques shown in this course will work with any version of Revit, but due to backwards compatibility issues, the exercise files for this course will only work with Revit 2014. Unfortunately, we cannot downsave the files. Please see a Revit 2013 course for usable files.

Product Review (submitted on April 4, 2013):
I was a little cautious in trying out this tea, mainly because the description gave it as having strong cherry flavours, and from past experience with "cherry flavour", I was worried it would taste like cough syrup. I was pleasantly surprised, though, when I opened the sample size packet. The smell was bright and fruity without being artificial or chemical. When I brewed a cup, it was absolutely lovely with milk and sugar. It definitely reminded me of the Paris tea, but with even stronger flavours, since it isn't made as mild with caramel or other flavours. I'll look forward to getting the full size next order~!

Buffalo & Erie County Public Library leaders are trying a new tactic this year in their quest to restore library funding: asking patrons to send postcards to the county executive's office.
People who have checked out books at the 37 libraries throughout Erie County this month have been asked to fill out postcards calling on County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz to "turn the lights back on at all the libraries in Buffalo and Erie County" by providing $3.6 million more next year to keep the branches open more hours and revive library programs.
"You promised to support libraries," state the postcards, which are pre-addressed for the county executive's Rath Building office.
The public outreach campaign coincides with a $25.5 million request for county funding that library trustees submitted to Poloncarz for 2013. It asks the county executive and county legislators to increase county support for the libraries by 16.5 percent next year to restore library hours cut in 2011 at branches throughout the county and to bring back programs, training and other outreach efforts.
The budget request includes a list of priorities for services that library trustees hope to restore, with the top priority being 5,100 hours of service throughout the system. Other concerns are expanding programming and staffing at various branches.
"I call it a needs and necessity list," said Library Director Mary Jean Jakubowski. "I say that because the services that we provide to the residents of Erie County are being demanded. Our statistics continue to rise, and without having, in particular, the funding for the service hours that we've lost, we are not meeting the needs of the residents."
Poloncarz will release his first county budget next month. Until then, his spokesman said Monday, he will not discuss any departmental budget requests.
But a four-year plan the county executive put out in April forecast only a slight increase in library funding if the county's tax revenue grows. That plan called for the library to receive 1 percent, or about $200,000, more next year.
County funding for the library system has decreased during the last decade, starting with major cuts during the 2004-05 budget crisis. Library officials hope to appeal to Poloncarz, who took office in January after a campaign in which he made libraries and cultural funding a top issue.
In addition to the postcards, which Jakubowski said were paid for with private funds, the library has a page on its website that includes information about the proposed budget and allows users to sign up as a supporter of its efforts.
"We're trying to really make it well-known that we are a significant institution to this community," Jakubowski said. "I think, honestly, that goes without saying, but we want to demonstrate that."
Poloncarz must send his 2013 budget proposal to the County Legislature by Oct. 15.
Peter Anderson, a spokesman for Poloncarz, said the county executive had not yet seen any of the postcards the library is circulating.
"We do take constituent communications seriously," said Anderson, adding that any resident who contacts the county executive's office with a postcard that includes a name and address will receive a response.

under 50 gms of carbs per day is for faster weight loss. some do just fine losing at under 100 gms.
as for fruits, choose lower sugar varieties, like berries, and don't eat mountains of them.
this info is all on-line...
can anyone help me? I have been eating paleo for some time and have lost a significant amount of weight but need to lose my last 20 pounds or so and am trying to fine tune exactly what to eat in order to do that. I recently purchased primal blueprint and was intrigued because it sounded like i could learn exactly how much carbs, protein etc to eat to burn off the remaining fat. in the weight loss section it breaks down some examples and tells exactly how many cals, protein, carbs and fat the sample people should eat but how the heck are you supposed to figure out for yourself??? I have no idea how they came up with 79 grams of carbs a day for the woman sample....I want to know exactly how many carbs to eat. i already know the general principles of primal/paleo eating. I need specific info regarding these breakdowns so i can finally breakthrough this last weight i can't get off.
Also it talks about eating "carefully chosen" fruit but never says what those fruits are...I'm a little frustrated as I have not learned anything I already didn't know....
under 50 gms of carbs per day is for faster weight loss. some do just fine losing at under 100 gms.

As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.
Ernest Hemingway
and how would I know which fruits are lower in sugar? is there a threshold? I never eat more than one a day anyway... but are say bananana or grapes off limits? I can't seem to find any practical info in the book...
Like noodletoy said, berries and lower sugar fruits in moderation are recommended.
What does a typical day of eating look like for you? Have you tracked your intake to see what your current macros are like?
yes I track my food every day. I am eating less than 50 grams of carbs a day right now--not even eating any fruit.. I was thinking maybe I was damaging my metabolism. and it sounded like in the book being under 50 longterm wasn't necesssarily good--that you should restrict JUST ENOUGH to be on the fringe of ketosis it said....not sure how t do that...
typical day of eating right now includes:
breakfast: eggs or ground turkey with veggies such as spinache, mushrooms, zuchinni, carrots, coconut oil
lunch: veggies similar as above, ground turkey, chicken breast or fish, cocnut oil
dinner: similar to lunch
If you're trying to lose that "last 20 pounds", and your diet is completely clean, DON'T worry about macronutrient breakdown. At this point (for you), it's LESS important than doing all the OTHER things right.
What are the other things? High Intensity Interval Training, 8 hours of sleep in a completely blacked-out room, at least one day a week spent in nature, and an overall happy, low-stress life.
How are you doing on these other important factors?
Travel, eat well, and learn about life - three things I love to do
Curious about what YOU should pack next time you're on the road? Check out my Definitive Guide to Backpacking Nutrition
I recently read Mark's Primal Blueprint 21 Day Full Body Transformation, and there he breaks down various fruit types into tiers based on the nutritional value.
The top tier - excellent value: all berries and stone fruit - peaches, nectarines, apricots
Second tier - very good value: apples, pears, bananas, grapefruit
Last tier - limit consumption: mangoes, pineapple, grapes, oranges

A consultant on Wednesday said the best hope for Sunoco's idled Marcus Hook refinery site is for it to be reborn as a multipurpose energy-processing facility, fueled by the growing output of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale drilling boom.
Local officials yesterday presented a road map for what Delaware County Councilman Tom McGarrigle called the "economic second life for Marcus Hook," which looks remarkably like its first life - processing hydrocarbons extracted from the earth into fuel and chemicals.
Only in its new life, the raw material feeding the facility would be Marcellus Shale natural gas, not petroleum.
"Today we stand here and look ahead at a new era," McGarrigle said at the Marcus Hook Community Center on the Delaware River waterfront, with the idled refinery as a backdrop. Sunoco shut down the plant last year and has been unable to find a buyer to operate it as a refinery.
