6/10 Cubs vs. Reds, round II
As far as the Cubs and Reds are concerned, both teams would like to put any bad blood to rest as they start a fresh series this week at Wrigley Field. The last time the teams met — May 26 in Cincinnati — Reds right-hander Johnny Cueto threw a pitch over David DeJesus' head with a four-run lead in the sixth inning. Cueto received a warning from home plate umpire Bob Davidson, Cubs pitcher Matt Garza took exception to the play, and the Cubs went on to win.
"Cueto should learn, you don't go after guys' heads," Garza said after the incident. "Don't wake a sleeping dog. I think that's kind of immature on his part and totally uncalled for. He's lucky that retaliation isn't in our vocabulary."
Both teams' managers downplayed the incident on Monday. Asked if he expected any repercussions, Cubs manager Dale Sveum said no.
"There's nothing to that whole situation," Sveum said.
Garza will pitch in Game 2 of the series on Tuesday. Cueto, on the disabled list, will not face the Cubs this time around.
Reds manager Dusty Baker, who said the following day that Garza should address the situation personally with Cueto and that the two could settle it with a fight, said the incident is "over."
"I think Johnny got fined for it," Baker said. "So all we can do is play ball. And whoever wants to do something, it's their prerogative if they want to. … I don't even know Garza. Never spoke to him in my life."

5/27 DeJesus downplays Cueto pitch
The Cubs did their best Monday to downplay comments Matt Garza made about Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto, who threw a pitch over David DeJesus' head on Sunday. Cueto had appeared to take exception to DeJesus stepping out of the batter's box in the first. In the sixth, DeJesus did it again, and Cueto threw a ball over DeJesus' head. Home plate umpire Bob Davidson issued a warning to both benches.
Garza took exception to Cueto's actions, and called it "total immaturity." On Monday, Dale Sveum tried to dismiss the matter.
"Yesterday is over with. It's people's prerogative to make a big thing out of something that was no big thing at all. Those are their comments. I've got nothing to really comment on something that's over with."
DeJesus flew out to right in the at-bat and was laughing as he ran off the field but that's because he was looking at the Reds' Todd Frazier, who is a friend of his.
"I'm not really worried about it," DeJesus said. "It's great to have guys who back you, your own teammates. You want your teammates behind you, like Garza, who's a great guy to have. I don't think this needs to get blown out of proportion. It gave us a spark that we needed yesterday. We were able to come back and win a big game. We come into this series feeling fresh and feeling positive. I think that's how we need to go. That's over with, that's done with and let's move forward."
What about Dusty Baker's comments that Garza and Cueto should duke it out?
"That's not a way to do it either," DeJesus said. "It is what it is now, and hopefully, it's over with, and let's just move on. It's not worth putting any more oil in the fire."
There is no history between Cueto and DeJesus, who is very deliberate at the plate.
"I do the same thing every at-bat, so it's not like I'm doing it just against him," DeJesus said. "I have no problem with him, I respect his game, I respect him as a player."
Soriano knows Cueto well but didn't think the pitch was mean-spirited.
"I think Cueto was joking around with him because he takes time getting in the box," Soriano said. "If [Cueto] wanted to hit him, he'd hit him because he has good control. Cueto likes to pitch real quick, and DeJesus is different, he takes his time at home plate."

5/26 Garza to Cueto: Grow up
The Cubs were going to let Matt Garza go longer on Sunday than the 80-pitch limit imposed in his first start. He went long enough to get mad. Welington Castillo hit a game-winning RBI double with two outs in the 10th inning Sunday to power the Cubs to a 5-4 victory over the Reds, and snap a six-game losing streak. A Beach Boys concert was planned for after the game. Garza provided the fireworks in the Cubs clubhouse.
There was some friction in the Cubs sixth as Johnny Cueto threw a ball over David DeJesus' head. Cueto seemed to take exception to DeJesus stepping out of the batter's box in the first. Home plate umpire Bob Davidson issued a warning to both benches. Garza took exception to Cueto's actions.
"Cueto should learn, you don't go after guy's heads," he said. "Don't wake a sleeping dog. I think that's kind of immature on his part and totally uncalled for. He's lucky that retaliation isn't in our vocabulary. You play each game like it's a new one. That's [nonsense] on his part — just total immaturity. If he has something to say about it, he knows where to find my locker and I'll definitely find his.
"I took total disrespect out of that," Garza said. "[DeJesus] has never done anything wrong, he just plays the game the right way. If Cueto has any problem, he can throw at me, and I'll definitely return the favor. I didn't like that one bit. We don't retaliate. We take it game by game. Hopefully, he learns to grow the [heck] up. That's totally uncalled for."
Garza wanted to make sure Cueto got the message.
"I hope he hears this because I really don't care," Garza said. "If we want to retaliate, we could've and lost a bullpen guy but we don't need that. We play the game the right way. We'll take our lumps when we take them and hand them out when we hand them out. I think we responded well to the warning and just play the game well."
There's no history between Garza and Cueto.
"I just didn't like what he did," Garza said. "I don't know what happened but the guy is an always down in the zone guy and he threw into the arm side away box and that takes effort. As a pitcher, that takes a lot of effort. I don't know what the deal is between him and [DeJesus], but he needs to cut it out because I'll stop it. I'll stop it. And that's just the way it goes. He wants to do it like that, so be it."
Garza said his message could be a warning or nonsense — he wasn't sure how Cueto would take it.
"If the game was played that way, I don't like it like that," Garza said. "You don't go intently and try to injure somebody. Hopefully the league looks at that. I don't want him to get suspended or anything. I just want him to learn a lesson. Hopefully, his players will warn him. It is what it is, they run their own show. We'll see him again down the line."
Davidson told Cubs manager Dale Sveum that he didn't feel Cueto was trying to hit DeJesus, but was just miffed at how long the outfielder took in the box.
"I think he was just goofing around throwing up over his head," Sveum said. "I said, 'Why don't you throw him out of the game then?' [Davidson] said he knew [Cueto] wasn't trying to hit him.
"It probably woke us up as much as anything," Sveum said. "It woke our dugout up."
Back to the game. With the game tied at 4 and two outs in the 10th against J.J. Hoover, Scott Hairston walked. Castillo then lined the ball into the left field corner to score Hairston.

5/26 DeJesus: We have to keep working
Cubs players gave each other a little pep talk during a recent team meeting on this road trip. The topic? Be patient at the plate, work the count, have good at-bats.
"The team came together and we had a little meeting about our approaches at the plate," David DeJesus said. "We just have to stay with [the approach] and trust it. If one at-bat goes bad, don't just throw it away — just keep going. It's going to work in your favor. Just keep trusting it."
The season hasn't gone the way the Cubs expected, and the players talked about that, too.
"We're saying, 'It's a long year, we have plenty of games left, but we have to keep battling and can't give up just because we have a couple bad outcomes,'" DeJesus said. "We can't throw away what we've worked on since Spring Training. You have to go up there and have the same approach every at-bat," he said. "You can't just go up there swinging. We have to keep working and keep understanding."

5/23 Cubs help tornado victims
* Double-A Tennessee will join outfielder Ty Wright in his efforts to raise funds for the victims. The Smokies will hold several events throughout the current homestand with proceeds going to the American Red Cross relief efforts for the Oklahoma tornado victims.
"After watching the coverage of the tornado, it was tragic to see," Wright said. "I played baseball for Oklahoma State for four years and Oklahoma is like a second home to me."
The Smokies will donate $10 for every hit they collect during their current five-game series. On Saturday, the Smokies will hold a memorabilia auction on the concourse, featuring signed memorabilia from the team, the Cubs, and other Minor and Major League teams with 100 percent of those proceeds going to disaster relief and the Red Cross. Former Smokies Darwin Barney, Andrew Cashner and Tyler Colvin have all pledged to donate items to the auction.
The Smokies will present the American Red Cross a check, on Wright's behalf, prior to Monday's game.
* Cubs outfielder David DeJesus announced a "mystery ball" event on Wednesday at Wrigley Field to raise money for victims of the Oklahoma tornadoes. Tickets are $40 per ball, and all proceeds will go to the families affected by the deadly storm. The Cubs play host to the White Sox in an Interleague game that day.
* Triple-A Iowa also is chipping in. The Iowa Cubs front office and a group of the players' wives and girlfriends will hold a memorabilia auction on Friday during the game against the Oklahoma City RedHawks, and all proceeds will be donated to the Oklahoma City Red Cross.Fans will have a chance to bid on autographed jerseys, baseballs, bats, and various other equipment in the concourse at Principal Park in Des Moines. The silent auction will start when the gates open at 5:35 p.m. CT, and run into the middle of Friday's game.

5/23 Cubs stats can be "mind boggling"
The Cubs are wasting good starting pitching and Dale Sveum said he may abandon his lineup platoon against left-handed starters to try and shake things up. Entering Thursday's game, Chicago starters had posted 28 quality starts this season and had a 1.98 ERA in those games, yet the pitchers had won only 11 of those contests; the team has won 16 total.
"It's mind boggling," Sveum said. "Some of the stats we have are really strange. To have this good stating pitching and be nine games under .500 and have a run differential of five — there are certain things you can't explain other than just not being able to put games away. Hitting with men in scoring position, getting that run in, getting that big inning here or there, we're just snake bit on that and not getting that stuff done."
The Cubs are batting .214 with runners in scoring position, lowest in the NL. Only the Mariners are worse at .206.
"It's just understanding that the pitcher is on the ropes, not you, and I think that's our biggest problem in those situations," Sveum said. "We're letting [the pitchers] dictate the at-bat and we're not dictating those at-bats."
Sveum has been platooning batters, and sitting left-handed hitting David DeJesus and Nate Schierholtz against southpaw starters, but said Thursday he may change that approach.
"We talk about hundreds of things when things aren't going well," Sveum said of his options. "The fact of the matter is we're pitching well — we've had a few hiccups in the bullpen — and we're catching the ball and hitting, but not scoring runs."

5/15 Post-game notes
* Anthony Rizzo picked up his 20th extra-base hit of the season with a double in the first. He is batting .392 since April 26 with nine doubles, three home runs, 16 RBIs.
* Jeff Samardzija picked up his first win since Opening Day, ending a five-game losing streak. His two-run homer was the first by a Cubs pitcher since Travis Wood did so Aug. 28 against the Brewers.
* David DeJesus notched his 500th career RBIs with his first inning home run.
* The Cubs have 24 doubles in the last six games, and lead the Majors with 92 doubles.
* Darwin Barney made a great defensive play in the fourth when he snared Carlos Gonzalez's hard hit ball up the middle and threw in time to first.
"The one thing you do with Barney on defense is you don't worry about it," Dale Sveum said. "He's either going to make a great play, and he never messes up any routine plays, even the pivot around second base."
* Matt Garza makes a Minor League rehab start Thursday for Triple-A Iowa.
"It's only going to get better when we get him back here," Samardzija said. "Obviously, we want him to be healthy and that's the most important thing."

5/15 Cubs 6, Rockies 3
Check the standings. The Cubs are no longer in last place in the NL Central.
Jeff Samardzija smacked a two-run home run and struck out seven over eight innings to pick up his first win since April 1 and lead the Cubs to a 6-3 victory over the Rockies at Wrigley Field. David DeJesus hit a leadoff homer in the first to help the Cubs take the series and back Samardzija, who raised his season strikeout total to 64, which ranks among the top five in the National League.
Samardzija needed a win. This is the right-hander's second full season as a starter, and he's still going through some growing pains.
"He used the whole four corners of the plate," Dale Sveum said. "He pitched up, he pitched in, he pitched away, used his slider, used his split, used a lot of cutters tonight. He used his whole repertoire tonight. He knew what he was doing tonight; he was pitching."
Samardzija got off to a good start, needing just nine pitches to get through the first. He got some more help from DeJesus, who opened the Chicago half with his fifth home run and 14th career leadoff homer. The Rockies tied the game in the second but Samardzija answered in the Cubs half. With two outs, Darwin Barney doubled and Samardzija launched the first pitch from Jon Garland into the left-field bleachers for his second career home run and a 3-1 lead.
"That was huge at that time," Sveum said. "For him to come through and pick us up like that was huge."
Said Garland: "He's a good athlete, a pretty good player. It was a cutter out over the plate. It was the first pitch and I was trying to get it over the plate. He was looking off-speed and got it."
Samardzija's other home run was Sept. 23, 2009, against the Brewers.
"I need to slow down around the bases and enjoy it a little bit," Samardzija said of his fast-paced trot. "It doesn't happen too often. We work a lot on hitting. [Pitching coach Chris] Bosio has us out there hitting every day in the cages. In the National League, it's an important at-bat. There in the sixth when I got that bunt down, those are important plays in the game and we ended up putting up a three-spot. You can't accept the out as a pitcher."
The Cubs added three more runs in the seventh. They've now won back to back series for the first time this season.
"We're playing great baseball and not shooting ourselves in the foot and we're just looking to keep it going, keep the momentum going that we've built up in the last couple weeks," Samardzija said. "It's exciting now, it's exciting in the locker room and fun to play with these guys."

* Carlos Marmol threw two scoreless innings, and now has six straight scoreless outings dating to April 8.
* Luis Valbuena has hit safely in nine of his last 13 games.
* Cubs starting pitchers rank third in the NL with a 3.11 ERA, but they have a 3-10 record. The relievers rank 12th in the NL with a 4.86 ERA. The team is batting .147 with runners in scoring position.
* Matt Garza will make a Minor League rehab start Wednesday for Double-A Tennessee, weather permitting.
* Ian Stewart was 1-for-3 with two RBIs Monday for Triple-A Iowa, and now is 2-for-20 in six games.
* On Tuesday, Carlos Villanueva faces Tony Cingrani at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.

In the fall of 1972, a young investigative reporter named Geraldo Rivera found a way to sneak a camera crew into the Willowbrook State School for the Mentally Retarded on Staten Island. His television report, "Willowbrook: A Report on How It Is and Why It Doesn't Have To Be That Way," exposed the institution as a dangerous and deplorable warehouse for children. I, with legions of Americans, was shocked by the report and became part of the deinstitutionalization movement, in both developmental disability and mental health, over the next four decades.
We find ourselves today sickened by the tragedy of Sandy Hook Elementary and some of the unintended consequences of the movement to free mental health patients from lifetimes of institutionalization. Have we imperiled the lives of the students in Newtown, Conn., by going too far to improve the lives of the children in Willowbrook?
As in almost all social movements, work starts on one extreme of the pendulum and, invariably, swings to the other extreme before we find a lasting solution. We overreact in our support of our citizens' rights to bear arms and the rights of behavioral health patients to comply with treatment regimens. As with most social issues, we are polarized by the strident ideology of the extremes taken by our political leaders, and the overexposure to media opinions that catalyze the polarization.We need leaders to find solutions in the middle of the pendulum swing. There are positions on both gun control and mental health that can maintain civil liberties and provide safety for the public, including vulnerable children.
As a treatment provider, I know that mental health needs to be given an equal status with physical health. A mental illness can be as serious as a heart attack or burst appendix. We need time and resources to make treatment decisions that reduce the dangers posed by some patients. While only a very small percentage of the mentally ill become violent, we need to identify them and, where possible, protect them and society from their dangerous impulses.
We need the power to treat people who might pose a threat. If mental health screening is required for purchasing a gun, where will we refer those who don't pass the test? If they are dangerous, we have an obligation to make sure they receive proper treatment, but our current resources are not equal to the task.
We need a nationwide standard for diagnosing and treating mental illnesses. Consistency of both the diagnosis and treatment process is critical in improving outcomes and reducing costs.
We also need the power to commit people to treatment, without forcing them into institutions. Institutional commitment is not always necessary. We need outpatient commitment laws that provide a treatment focused on individual and community safety, and allow patients to receive medications and care without expensive hospitalizations. This brings us closer to the middle — but the pendulum, by design, still must swing.
As a nation of politicians, providers and citizens, we need to end stigmatization of mental health. The National Institute of Health recognizes that more than 25 percent of our citizens need mental health care every year and only a fraction of those actually receive it, commonly due to stigma.
A national dialogue in the 1970s fueled four decades of deinstitutionalization. Today, in honor of the children of Newtown, let's embark on a national dialogue on mental health reform that ensures safety to future generations of children by addressing the emotional, social and psychological well-being of our population.
Our new reform movement should start with the report, "Newtown: A Report on How It Is and Why It Doesn't Have To Be That Way."
Donald J. Parker is CEO and president of Carrier Clinic in Skillman.

The prognosis of heart failure in the general population. The Rotterdam Study
Aims To determine the prognosis, cause of death, and its determinants in participants of the population-based Rotterdam Study who were found to have heart failure.
Methods and Results In 5255 Rotterdam Study participants (aged 68·9±8·6 years, 3113 women) the presence of heart failure was determined. Data were analysed with Cox's proportional-hazards models. One hundred and eighty-one participants (age 77·3±7·9 years, 109 women) had heart failure. Of these 85 (47%) died during the 4·8–8·5 (mean 6·1) years of follow-up. One, 2 and 5 years' survival was 89%, 79%, and 59%, representing an age-adjusted mortality twice that of persons without heart failure (hazard ratio 2·1, 95% CI 1·8–2·7). The hazard ratio for sudden death was even more pronounced: 4·8, (95% CI 2·6–8·7). Diabetes mellitus, impairment of renal function and atrial fibrillation were associated with a poor outcome. A higher blood pressure and body mass index conferred a more favourable prognosis in those with heart failure.
Conclusion Heart failure generally afflicts older subjects in the community, carries a poor prognosis, especially in the presence of concomitant diseases, and confers a fivefold increase in the risk of sudden death.

Transfers from One Individual to Another Individual
1. Can seats be transferred from one individual to another individual? Yes, but generally only among "immediate family members" as defined in our Policy. Instances of divorce/separation and death may also result in a transfer from one individual to another.
2. Can seats be transferred to a friend? No.
Transfers to an Immediate Family Member
3. Are there sub-categories that fall within our definition of an "immediate family member" to whom seats may be transferred? Yes, for example step-fathers/mothers, step-brothers/sisters, step-sons/daughters, etc. may be considered an "immediate family member". Ultimately, whether we consider a potential transferee to be an "immediate family member" will be in our discretion.
4. Do we require proof of the relationship between the "immediate family members"? We require a copy of any documentation that can be presented as proof of the relationship (i.e. Marriage certificate, Birth certificate or admissible legal documentation). Where such documentation cannot be provided, we require a letter signed by both parties confirming their relationship to one another.
Transfers Upon Divorce or Separation
5. What documentation do we require to consider a transfer following a divorce or separation? We require a copy of a Court Order or an executed Settlement Agreement confirming legal ownership of the Season Seats.
Transfers Upon Death
6. What documentation do we require to consider a transfer following the death of an account holder? Ideally, we would like to see a copy of the Grant of Probate issued by the Court. In some circumstances, however, a copy of the account holder's Will or other documentation confirming the account holder's intention may be considered.
Corporate Transfers
7. Can a corporation transfer its seats to an individual? Yes, but only if the individual is a director, shareholder or officer of the corporation.
8. If a corporation wants to transfer its seats to an individual, what documentation is required? A corporate document such as the corporation's articles of incorporation, a corporate resolution, an annual return, etc. confirming the proposed transferee's position within the corporation will be required. We will also require a letter signed by another shareholder, director or officer of the corporation consenting to the transfer on behalf of the corporation. In the event that the proposed transferee is the only shareholder, director and/or officer of the corporation, a corporate document confirming that they are the only shareholder, director and/or officer will be sufficient.
9. Can a corporation transfer its seats to another corporation? Yes, but only in limited circumstances. For example, we may permit a transfer between two affiliated corporations (i.e: if True North Sports & Entertainment Limited wanted to transfer to TN Arena Inc.) but only upon receiving sufficient documentation confirming the relationship between the two corporations. Any such proposed transfers should be forwarded to in-house legal counsel for review.
Deadline for Transfers
10. When can a Transfer Application Form be submitted? The deadline for submitting a Transfer Application Form for each NHL Season is March 1st in order to be effective for the forthcoming season commencing in September. Any transfer applications submitted after March 1st will be held on file and considered the following year.
11. When is the deadline for the 2016-2017 NHL Season? March 1st, 2016.
12. What happens if the deadline is missed (i.e: A Transfer Application Form is received on March 2, 2016)? The transfer would not be considered for the 2016-2017 NHL Season, rather it would be considered for the 2017-2018 NHL Season.
13. Who should a Transfer Application be submitted to? Transfer Applications MUST be mailed in or presented in person to the Winnipeg Jets Offices located at 345 Graham Avenue.

Living with Fukushima City's radiation problem
Blogpost by Ike Teuling - December 8, 2011 at 15:27
We spent four days in Fukushima City doing a radiation survey in the neighbourhoods of Watari and Onami. People there have been left to cope alone in a highly contaminated environment by both the local and national governments. Our radiation experts found hot spots of up to 37 microSieverts per hour in a garden only a few meters away from a house and an accumulation of radioactivity in drainage systems, puddles and ditches. Overall, the radiation levels in these neighbourhoods are so high that people receive an exposure to radiation just from external sources that is ten times the annual allowed dose. How high their internal exposure is from eating contaminated food and inhaling or ingesting radioactive particles remains unknown, since no government program is keeping track of this...
...The decontamination done by the local authorities is both uncoordinated and thoroughly inadequate. The subcontractors they are using are badly instructed, risking their own health and spreading the radioactive contamination instead of removing it. We found radioactive run-off water from a decontamination process leaking directly into the environment. And because there is no storage site for radioactive waste from decontamination work, the waste is buried directly on people's property, sometimes only a few meters away from their houses.
The Japanese government doesn't know how to deal with the massive contamination caused by the nuclear disaster. Instead of protecting people from radiation, they are downplaying the risks by increasing the allowed radiation levels far above international standards. And professors like Dr. Yamashita, who make statements like 'If you smile, the radiation will not affect you' are being employed as official advisors on radiation health risk.
In short, it is clear that the situation in Fukushima is rapidly spinning out of control, and if the national government does not take full responsibility for the protection of its population, the people affected by the triple meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi will continue to suffer for a long time to come.

Nests of Snakes Revealed: A Story of Fear, Intimidation and Threat in Walker's Wisconsin
by noise of rainFollow
...When I went to the prearranged coffeshop I expected to meet a fiery activist. You know the type: aggressive, full of fight, tough and determined, battle-scarred weary, but ready for the next round. Instead, waiting for me at a table was a sweet looking early middle-aged woman, nicely dressed, nice smile… someone I might expect to meet walking her Jack Russell Terrier at the dog park, or at my son's middle school parents' night. Her gentle demeanor could not hide the palpable worry in her eyes. She is a single woman living alone, and constant fear has plagued her since August.
Last summer, a couple of activist friends from Madison contacted Mary to see if she would help them administer their anti-Walker Facebook pages. They were being harassed by an amorphous group of rightwing Walker supporters, and needed someone to delete troll posts and unfriend trolls. It was really nothing, and not expecting any consequences for such mundane housekeeping chores, she agreed to help out. "If only I knew then what I know now," she exclaimed...
...Within days of Mary's summer admin work, four different Facebook pages went up attacking her. The goons found an old resume and began to troll her side business of jewelry sales, registering constant false complaints and negative endorsements to dissuade online business. They began to post her home address and phone numbers throughout their sites. And they began to constantly call and spam her place of work, complaining about her behavior and the job she does.
Kristi Lacroix, the "teacher" in the new pro-Walker ad (she is a teacher, but at a charter school) posted on Mary's jewelry page: "'Geri Gems' has a Facebook page. Maybe it is time to post on it so that prospective customers can know who they are buying from." William Jenkins (assumed alias) then posted on the business page "This company runs a shady operation. If you like cheap ass jewelry from a disgusting slob of a person, this is a place for you. Suck a cock, whore." And the fun-loving lads in the rightwing circle-jerk Photoshopped Mary's face on the head of a fornicating pig, expressing that they were "feeling sorry for the other pig" and of course, posted it all over the internet. Dan Briski suggested that they "Definitely need to rattle her tree…" in context of her home address being posted, and Walker Backers Watching Walker Stalkers' Santo Ingrilli agreed, "yes we should rattle her cage a bit."
Last summer, this same cluster of Facebook fascists published residence information of another activist, a young woman from Madison, with the suggestion that "people should visit her." A few days after that, her apartment was broken in to. Madison police were sympathetic, but felt that cause and effect were too tenuous for charges or arrests. With no proof of connection, nothing has happened regarding the crime...

One of the Most Chilling Photos from OWS
by Hrag Vartanian on November 18, 2011
There haven't been very many iconic images or art works coming out of the Occupy Wall Street movement yet things may be changing. In addition to the OWS "bat signal" that we posted about earlier today, this photograph in The Guardian by AP photographer Randy L. Rasmussen may be one of the most incredible images captured during the international protests.
Taken yesterday, during the November 17 day of action at Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland, Oregon, the young protester being pepper sprayed by riot police is a visual symbol of the power imbalance taking place at this protests. Seemingly faceless black-clad police with visors and helmets are pushing back and harming non-violent protesters. Here the protester's face is fully exposed to a stream of pepper spray, according to the caption, while an adjacent protester holds up the peace sign. We can only imagine the brutal burning sensation the protester was about to experience the moment after this image was taken.

Dear Mayors and Police Chiefs
by brooklynbadboy
Do you see what happened in Oakland? That was what you call fucking stupid. Let me tell you why.
I had no idea that there were Occupy protests in Oakland. But I do now. Guess why.
All you all do by attacking peaceful protesters is make the protests grow even more rapidly than they otherwise would. Secondly, you end up spending a great deal of money on police overtime and equipment. Third, you make your municipality and yourselves vulnerable to lawsuits and investigations. Fourth and finally, you put yourself on the wrong side of both public opinion and history.
Bet you didn't expect to critically injure a two tour veteran Marine, did ya? Well you fucking did!
So now look at yourself. You spend a shitload of taxpayer money on some guys carrying signs and shouting slogans. Memo to you: A person carrying a sign isn't dangerous. Truly dangerous people don't walk around in public spaces carrying signs. You'd think I wouldn't have to tell you this because its so fucking obvious...
...Here's an idea: You got occupy protesters on your public grounds? Send one squad car around. Have the guys get out, go talk to the protesters: Here's the speech:
Hi I'm Officer Dave and this is Officer Joe. We want you to be able to exercise your constitutional rights in safety. Safety for both you and the general public. Please keep this space tidy and clean or else were going to have to start issuing fines. Don't get rowdy and harass any passers-by or else we will have to arrest you. You should behave yourselves in public as im sure your parents taught you to behave. Me and my partner will be right over there if you need us. We will let you know when there is a shift change. Have a nice day.
See that? Cheap. Simple. Nobody gets hurt. Saves taxpayers money. Saves your careers.

Socialistic Hitler Fascist Death Panel WMD Terrorist Job Killing Kenyan Muslim Regulation Tyranny
by MinistryOfTruth
From now on, people who have used these words in the past or present to dismiss a conversation or hijack it should no longer be taken seriously.
I'm done with wasting time in a dishonest debate...
...If you support torture, I don't want to hear about Hitler from you.
If you support subsidies for extremely profitable oil companies I don't want to hear about wealth distribution from you.
If you support the never ending wars at all costs I don't want to hear about deficits from you.
And if you insist on hijacking honest debates about our future by calling it Socialistic Hitler Fascist Death Panel WMD Terrorist Job Killing Kenyan Muslim Regulation Tyranny you should no longer be taken seriously. We don't have time for your dishonesty. You are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Consider #OccupyWallStreet a nationwide intervention, because some people are drunk on greed and power...

CNN poll: Americans overwhelmingly support policies in Obama jobs bill
by Jed Lewison
According to CNN's latest poll (October 14-16, ±3%), Americans support each of the major policy proposals in President Obama's jobs bill by a wide margin:
Yet despite that overwhelming support, here's how Republican senators voted when the jobs bill came to the Senate floor last week:
Republicans have picked their side, and it's the wrong one.

By now, he's an Orphan
by BlueTexasDem
I haven't posted anything in years but I'm here almost daily keeping up with things. What happened on Friday shook me to my core and made me so mad that I was in tears. I didn't immediately write this diary, in part because I needed an emotional break. But here it goes.
I am a high school science teacher in the DFW metroplex. On Friday, one of the other teachers came to see me about a student of mine, Chris (his name has been changed for the sake of his privacy). About six months ago Chris's father died of a heart attack. He owned a construction company and they were struggling financially. They suspect the chronic stress from his failing business and attempting to provide for his family finally resulted in his death.
I can relate to this because I lost my father two years ago. My father worked in the financial sector. When everything collapsed in 2008 he was let go from his job. He was unemployed for a year and then he found another job, only to be let go 8 month later. Seven months after being laid off and worrying about ever being rehired at 55 and losing his medical insurance, he suffered a heart attack and passed away. I didn't realize how dire his financials were until I was tasked with sorting through his belongings. The daily stress of what bills to pay and what he could defer must have been unbearable. But I digress...
In all of my interactions with Chris, you never would have known that he had just lost his father. He is such an upbeat student who tries hard at every assignment I give him. I get a "thank you" for every assignment I had out and for every question I answer. In the inner city that's rare. He lights up the classroom and is nice to all of his classmates. He never makes a joke at someone's expense and he is the first to help me if I need it. He wasn't in class on Friday.
For the past few weeks Chris's mother had been sick and was getting worse. They didn't have insurance because after his father died his mother simply couldn't afford it. They waited until they couldn't wait any longer to take her to the E.R. After running some tests they discovered that she had Stage 4 cancer and on Thursday they gave her less than 48 hours to live. He spent the night with her at the hospital, refusing to leave her side...

When Madison Hedgecock went down with a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday night's game against Chicago, Bear Pascoe went right into the game, played fullback for the Giants and did a pretty good job.
Of course, Pascoe is a tight end by trade. So the obvious question is, how many reps did he get in practice as a fullback?
"With the offense?" Pascoe replied.
Uh, yeah.
"With our offense?"
No, with the Saskatchewan Roughriders offense. Yes, with the Giants' offense.
"None," Pascoe said.
In a league where the fullback has become a dinosaur for many teams, carrying more than one player at the position is a rarity. So the Giants were in a tight spot when Hedgecock strained his hamstring and was unable to return against the Bears, especially since the Giants were playing with the lead and therefore had to run the ball effectively.
In came Pascoe, who was a member of the practice squad until starting tight end Kevin Boss suffered a concussion in the opener against the Carolina Panthers.
"You know, Bear Pascoe did an outstanding job for a guy that really didn't have many snaps last week," coach Tom Coughlin said. "The thing I really like about the kid, he's such a 'hundred-percenter,' but he never panics."
Coughlin said it was the second time this season the Giants have used Pascoe in a role for which he hadn't prepared. The way he responded gives the team hope he can be an option this week in case Hedgecock isn't able to play Sunday against the Texans. Hedgecock was in the game for 21 of 43 snaps before getting injured, so it's pretty evident how important the role of fullback is to the Giants.
"Even a couple of times where we wanted play calls that involved a little bit more than your average fullback play, and asked if he could understand it and knew what he had to do from that position, (he said), 'Yeah,' " Coughlin said of Pascoe. "So I was encouraged by that."
Pascoe was able to make the quick adjustment because the blocking assignments aren't much different for a fullback than they are for a tight end that's asked to go in motion — a pseudo-fullback in formations when there isn't a fullback on the field.
"You just have a different angle on the ball," Pascoe said of playing fullback versus being a "move" tight end. "There were a couple of times I took the block on with the wrong shoulder, so there are little things there I need to work on and get better at."
There is one thing that comes natural to Pascoe, a hard-working member of a family of ranchers: a fullback's mentality.
"You have to be a different kind of person to do it," Pascoe said. "Me and Madison kind of got that little different personality."
The Giants are trying their best to remain confident in rookie punter Matt Dodge, but Tuesday marked the first sign of that patience beginning to grow thinner when the team brought in 11-year veteran Hunter Smith for a workout.
Smith's agent said his client left the area without a deal but believes he had a solid workout. He could be an option for the Giants moving forward, or at least will serve as motivation for Dodge to quickly improve and eliminate those low line drives he's been hitting.

"I didn't know what to expect," he said.
Eight days before his daughter's birth, the Macomb Township resident was involved in a serious motorcycle accident.
"I really didn't have any big expectations," said Felton, whose left leg was amputated due to the accident. "We just constantly ran into brick walls with everything."
However, those brick walls — including 15 surgeries — hasn't stopped Felton from holding his daughter, or playing with his 9-year-old son.
"I've made huge strides," said Felton, who is on long-term disability from Chrysler Group LLC. "Half the stuff I do now, I never would have had an idea that it would happen.
"I've got two kids, so it helps me keep up with them."
Felton's story of success is the feature of a national Public Broadcasting Station report at 5:30 p.m. tonight called "A Wider World."
The program details Felton's success, along with other clients of Fitness Therapy Unlimited, a cutting-edge mobile fitness therapy company.
"The biggest thing for us is for these clients to have an opportunity to tell other people out there — who aren't receiving the service — what it's about, how it can help them, and how life can continue after an injury or illness," said Greg Kirk, the company's founder. "Life doesn't just stop there."
Kirk, a Western Michigan University alumnus, said the Southfield-based company brings its services to more than 70 patients throughout Michigan's lower peninsula, and fills a void after a patient's physical therapy.
Fitness Therapy Unlimited, which costs $130 an hour, offers massage therapy, land therapy, aquatic therapy, and medical nutrition therapy to people with chronic and acute physical conditions or disability caused by auto accidents or chronic conditions.
"We really want to bring our services to the client," said Kirk, a Bloomfield Hills native. "We condition the whole body. That's a big difference between us and physical therapy."
Kirk, who previously worked at Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan, said about 95 percent of clients' treatments are covered by insurance companies.
According to the creators of "A Wider World," the goal of the program is to give "hope to (people with disabilities) by showing them that there are others like them who have overcome obstacles and misconceptions in order to lead normal, fulfilling lives."
Felton said he hopes to be walking with his prosthetic leg within a year.
"I think more awareness about Fitness Therapy Unlimited is a good thing," he said. "I believe in what they do 100 percent, which is vastly different from my initial take on it, which was I don't see how it's going to help
"But I've come such a long way with their help."
Kirk hopes to expand Fitness Therapy Unlimited statewide within three to five years, and eventually nationwide.
"It's a needed service nationwide, and it's not being filled," Kirk said. "It's a relatively new concept … and we'd like to be a part of beginning that."
For more information about Fitness Therapy Unlimited, call (248) 327-3866.

With Spanish translation, station tells stories about an unseen community space beneath I-91.
WGBY announces the launch of "Divided We Stand: A Street in Our School," a special Connecting Point series that will present various sides of one of the area's longtime community issues: the tunnel beneath I-91 that runs through the Germán Gerena Community School in Springfield's North End.
Built in 1973, the school currently serves 700 children. Because of the building's close proximity to I-91, a tunnel was built on the lower level of the school so that students and members of the larger community, divided once the interstate was constructed, could safely walk from one side of their neighborhood to the other. Over time, "the tunnel," as residents refer to it, became more than a passageway linking Plainfield and Main Streets. It became a pathway providing access to varied community services. A generation came to depend on the organizations that filled space within the tunnel itself.
Yet, due largely to extensive flooding and structural damage, time has changed this once vibrant space. Community spaces now stand empty. As residents and city leaders discuss their vision for the Gerena School and tunnel, WGBY explores its past and present. Viewers will learn just how much happens in this place they don't see.
For the first time, WGBY will provide Spanish subtitles for the series of segments, airing periodically between March 14 and the month of May. Thursday's first segment includes a discussion about the school and the status of repairs to the tunnel with Springfield Mayor Dominic Sarno and School Superintendent Daniel Warwick.
WGBY invites viewer feedback and especially encourages people who live near Gerena, largely members of the city's Latino community, to contribute memories, stories or opinions throughout the series' run. Future air dates known thus far: Wednesday, March 27; Wednesday, April 24; Tuesday, April 30.
About WGBY (www.wgby.org), a community-supported public broadcasting organization, connects the people of western New England to events, ideas and each other through national PBS programming and locally produced series and specials. With four digital television channels, video on demand, podcasting and streaming video, WGBY is one of the region's most accessible community institutions, providing lifelong learning opportunities for all. WGBY is available over the air on digital channel 57-1 and on cable throughout western Massachusetts and northwestern Connecticut and can be seen in high definition in western Massachusetts at Comcast 857, Time Warner 1807, Charter 782 and over the air on channel 57.

Neck deep -3.8 tide opens lower beach to diggers
If Shawn Olson could he would find himself reaching neck-deep into the sand, gravel and mud of Kitsap County beaches more often.
Olsen is a recreational clam digger chasing a prize that recedes several feet into the beach when perturbed. At some point, he's going to reach down neck-deep into a hole to grab the delicate geoduck – the largest clam in the world.
Tuesday, Olson, a Silverdale resident, reached his limit of three clams quickly from the beach below the boat ramp in Tracyton, a seemingly poor place to find geoduck to eat.
"Everyone thinks its polluted and ruined," Olson said. "It's not."
He found nice looking "ducks" with golden siphons and belly meat protruding from a healthy white shell far too small to protect against predators. Olson's clams ranged from two to six pounds. The geoducks were high-grade, the kind that fetch more than $100 a pound across the Pacific where the market is big and hungry for them.
Olsen, a recreation fan of the "duck," said he thinks that today people are less interested in digging geoduck recreationally and it's dying out as an "art."
On an industrial scale, geoduck harvests are worth about $100 million a year to communities surrounding Puget Sound and Hood Canal.
The recreational digger is far removed from the high-tempo world of commercial geoduckers in local waters where dive harvesters think of earnings in minute-level increments and the prices paid abroad have at times driven the industry into organized crime tactics.
Olsen and his pal Steven McGuire surveyed the lower tidal reaches of the beach Tuesday during some of the lowest tides of the year. It was McGuire's first duck dig. Olson showed him the ropes; search the beach, locate the tops of their delicate siphons that blend in with the beachscape, mark them and then dig.
The big clams are what Olsen is looking for. His biggest came from Hood Canal and weight 8.75 pounds. The biggest hand dug geoduck on record in Washington state was 13 pounds, it's in a bar in Port Townsed, he said.
"Nine-pounds is [my] goal," he said.
Olsen said that while he has been known to nibble on his ducks raw, chowder and fritters are more likely eatables to make his table. The delicate "belly" meat will get lightly battered in flour and cooked in garlic and butter, he said.
Tuesday's dig was Olsen's sixth day geoducking this spring. There are three more -3 foot tides next month and then it's over for the year, he said.
Working a duck closer to the water, which was returning to fill Dyes Inlet, Olson and McGuire took turns digging quickly to fetch a big clam before the water covered it.
"I don't mind swimming a little for them," he said.

In conjunction with the One Fund Boston, authorities said the moment of silence will take place at 2:50 p.m. Monday followed by the ringing of bells across the region.
Menino and Patrick are calling upon Boston and all communities across the Commonwealth to join together during that time to honor the victims of the attacks and their families.
In addition, Menino and Patrick are encouraging the public to visit onefundboston.org to make a donation to help the victims of the tragedy.

Go the extra mile for dinner with this delicious fish dish.
- 420 g tuna steaks
- 460 g fresh tagliatelle (115g per person)
- 200 g fresh mussels
- 200 g fresh clams
- 200 ml white wine
- 400 ml cream
- 2 shallots
- 300 g purple broccoli floret's (normal broccoli will do)
- 2tsp chopped thyme
- 1 clove crushed garlic
- 200 g grated parmesan
- 1 lemon
- olive oil
- seasoning
- Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to the boil and add a drop of olive.
- Now add your fresh pasta and cook for 3-4 minutes before straining, seasoning and setting to one side.
- Heat a wide base pan (ensure you have a lid to fit) and drizzle a little olive oil over it. Now add the shallots garlic and thyme followed by the white wine.
- Bring the wine to the boil and add the mussels and clams.
- Place a lid on top and continue to boil for 2-3 minutes or until they begin to open.
- Now add the cream and broccoli and continue to boil with the lid off for another 2-3 minutes or until the cream begins to thicken.
- Now add the parmesan cheese a little squeeze of lemon and season.
- Add the pre cooked pasta to this pot now and turn it well in order to get the sauce all the way through the pasta.
- To cook the Tuna simply drizzle a little olive oil on each side and season on each side.
- Place on a hot pan, a char grill pan is better but certainly not essential. A 200g steak will only take 2-3 minutes each side to cook medium, which is the best way to eat tuna but continue to cook if you prefer a more well done piece of fish.
- To present this dish, curl the pasta with a fork and place in a large bowl along side the tuna steak.
- Sprinkle with a little more cheese and where possible arrange a few of the mussels and clams neatly around the plate.

Crisvan Reyes suffers a type of bone cancer and has undergone unimaginable medical treatment at his young age of 11, including the amputation of his right arm. In spite of that, smiling and laughing, he makes jokes and teases other kids as he plays the drums during a rehearsal of the orchestra sponsored by the Alma Llanera Hospital Care Program. This is the last rehearsal before the program's first anniversary concert.


text: Yea its true that the freind codes will be used on wii but i just read in Gamepro's august issue that nintendo isn't offering an online systems similiar to xbox live. If the game you buy has online play, the online system is created by the company that also made the game. So each game has its own induvidual online system/server. Friend codes will probably be used as a way to connect with your freind in a private room (like an ip address) like supermariomp3 said.

Weight gainers! What did YOU eat today? August 16th -Sept 16th

Please make sure you thoroughly read and accept the rules before posting!
- Do not post here if you are not reaching 2500+ calories (3000+ for adult men). We strongly recommend 3000+ to gain.
- Teens must reach 3000 a day minimum
- Also remember I do not support you using alcohol as a calorie substitute. So if you reach 2500+ with alcohol in your diet, eat a little more to make up for it.
- If you are struggling to reach the necessary amount (and everyone has at some point) then please post a separate thread w/ questions.
- Do not post links to your personal blog.
- No partial meal plans. Only post complete daily intakes.
--------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
This thread is for those of you looking to actively gain weight for whatever reason.
Requirements- If you are a male you need to eat at least 3000 calories, females must eat 2500-this is so that your body can begin to now only gain weight, but also for your internal organs to begin to recover, this takes fuel/calories.
It is NOT suggested that you excercise while underweight. Excercsie is often an addicition seen with those with eating disorders. Try to stop cold turkey, IF you excercise, 2500/3000 is NOT enough. You are only harming yourself+prolonging the illness by excercising.
If you are struggling to reach the necessary amount, and we all did, then please post a seperate thread w/ questions. It is harmful for ppl to see posts that are under the food reuirement amount. There are suggestions on this forum regarding higher calorie+denser foods that should be incorporated to aid in reaching calorie goals

Hey guys,
Tomorrow is good for me for Toffee Crisp :) And yes, Baybeehannahx I would be up for making it a regular thing. Well done for your day of challenges, I enjoyed reading a far more varied MP :)
Beth22: Yes, I'm going to aim for the full banana after tomorrow - I have half left in the fridge, but after that, full banana here I come :) Thanks for the suggestion, it's the kick I need :) I like the strawberry ensures best, then banana, then vanilla. The chocolate are ok, but I've never been much of a chocolate fan and I like my evening hot choc, so tend to vary it a bit. Although the recent lot I've got is mixed flavours, with all kinds of odd flavours like orange, peach and forest fruits... in MILKSHAKES!? A bit sceptical, but will give them a whirl :) Have LOTS of banana and strawberry to get through before that :)
Breakfast: 30g shreddies; 1/2 banana; handful chopped dates; handful blueberries; 200ml sweetened soya (350)
Snack: 250ml pineapple juice (135)
Lunch: 2 thick slices wholemeal bread; 1/2 avocado; teaspoon marmite (I love avocado and marmite combo); tbsp PB; tbsp humous; tomato and a few mixed leaves; chunk of melon (560)
Snack: Fig roll and soya latte (206)
Dinner: 2 veggie spring rolls; spaghetti; 2 broccoli florets; tbsp mango chutney (370)
Dessert: large dairy-free chocolate sponge pudding with chocolate sauce and alpro custard (!) (410)
Snack: Ensure plus strawberry (330)
Snack: snickers bar; hot choc w/sweetened soya (396)
Total: 2747 Yay! :)

thebiggerpicture and shadowlight: The thing is I did drink a whole bottle of water before bed... but then that made me need to pee in the morning!! It is a vicious cycle, but tbh i didnt really mind getting up early, I realised i have the potential to do so much more in my day than just sleep.
jammydoger: Congrats on all the challenges! I love smoothies, you should defs try one!! Is it not difficult for you eating so much in the evening? It seems very ED-y to me... maybe another challenge would be to eat more during the day?
partyring and shadowlight: The best crisps are doritos and kettle chips =)
babyhannahx: The cereal at lunch sounds amazing, my kind of thing. Well good luck for the weigh-in on thursday!! And everyone who's eating toffee crisps, I would join you as i love them but i have conquered that one many times in recovery already, though i may have one if i fancy it =)
Beth: You should defs try veggie Percys! I love them!!
breakfast: 'iced and spiced' iced bun, milky tea, sliced apple and raspberry activia layer yoghurt
snack: mango and passionfruit 'cooler' from costa
free samples: dark chocolate covered marzipan chocolate, two doritos dipped in salsa, strawberry with clotted cream, two chunks of bread dipped in various types of oil
snack: large coconut froyo topped with cap'n crunch, frosties, brownie pieces, honey almond granola and pomegranate syrup (odd combo but i wanted to get my moneys worth)
lunch: pret super food salad (humous, chickpeas, poppy seeds,pumpkin seeds, other seeds, taboulle, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, marinaded pepper, beetroot and a flat bread)
snack: two peanut butter oreos and a handful of peanut m&ms
dinner: entire pizza express margerita pizza, side salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar
dessert: strawberry cornetto

shadowylight: your welcome :D belive me the whole banana wont kill you youll be perfect fine, the only difference will be that your breaky will be yummier! and oh no i hate strawberry flavour things :P love banana though! and the new flavour pack you mentioned arent milkshakes, if you look istead of "milkshake style" they say "yogurt style" exacly the same though, just taste more yogurty flavoured :P same thickness n all that, if i remember right...
spiritriser : im glad you said yes because earlier today i went and bought some, 2 for £2 ;D bring it, you will see some percys very soon :D very very soon...
ok so today, i reeeeeeeeally pushed things, i basically eat the same thing everyday so today was MASSIVE for me, i hope you guys aprove :) also ive been eating bigger snack recently, but i preferred having larger meals smaller snacks so im going to go back to that again, and plus i miss my activia yougrts which arent nearly as high as the ones ive been having :P
Breakfast : Usual porridge 1/2cup oats, mixed with 2 scoops protein powder (1 banana, 1 choc, mixed seperate and put side by side in a bowl)and a cup of SOYA MILK(!) topped with 2tbsp of PB and 1 tbsp Jam
Snack: Activia peach rhubarb yogurt (yaaay) sliced banana
Lunch: major biggy coming up! FRENCH TOAST(!!!!!)2 large slices of ww bread, soacked in a EXTRA LARGE EGG(!!!!) mixed with almond milk, cinammon and vanilla, then sandwiched them with 2tbsp of crunchy PB and 2 tb of jam!, topped this with 100g cottage cheese and fresh sliced strawberries. aaaaaah! :P now that the biggest ed challenge like...ive ever done *breathes*

an hour or so after tea: 2 MORE PERCY PIGS(!!!!!) (unplanned and ontop of my MP! because i wanted them ED! :D)
Supper: large pink lady apple, pep tea
How did i do? :/
Hannah; yep, trucking on :-) Sounds like that could be a challenge for you! I struggle still with breakfasts with little fibre or fruit; so I'm challenging myself with one tomorrow :-) Puff Pastry Quiche? Sounds Delish! I find short pastry can be bland/dry. Next chance I'll give on a go.
Jammie; ah! Don't let me put you off! I don't like cinnamon, so it really limits the muffins I might like. The Pret High Fibre muffin is actually even better, as it has a jammy filling of 'Superberry Compote'. SO yum!
Spiritriser; as someone who slept until 11 this morning; sleep is a necessary and highly constructive occupation! I consider it caring for my brain :-P Where did you get Coconut Froyo?! Love coconut! Want! (despite the cold and rain...)
Beth; Congrats! Particularly on the pigs too, baby steps are all going forward, you should be proud! :-D
Started new therapy; enhanced CBT. The idea of the first stage is to change behaviour you identify as possibly being for ED reasons (this is the 'homework'), then to analyse how this change makes you feel and what occurs (this is where the therapist helps!) Then you can work out what is ED, what's You, and find what works. Well I struggle with low fiber or no fruit at breakfast. Thinking about this as I walked home, there was an amazing smell of baking. So I followed my nose to Muffinskis, which I think someone here has talked about before?! Don't know if it's the same one, but they were giving out samples of Toffee & Banana Muffins, which were so nice! It was 8pm, so there was only one type left which wasn't gluten free, but I bought a Raspberry & Banana Muffin for breakfast tomorrow. I'll let you know when the world doesn't end! ;-P oh, and if I came find a toffee crisp, mind if I join? Used to love them when I was little!
Anyway, not v interesting eats as there is only really packets of what I had bought yesterday in... But hey, some days are;
Early hours, tired rather than hungry, but so be it!; 1/2 seed Bap w/ butter & Honey, bowl of Ginger 'Cornflake' Granola from Borough Market w/ milk
Today proper ;-P
T, Pro Active
Wholegrain & Oat Muffin with mushed Banana & Honey, T (not had a banana in AGES! Noticed having one and it reminded me of how I used to do this to try and recreate the Banana Jam they serve at Ottolenghi. Love it!)
T, Plum w/ tbsps Honey
1/2 Seeded Bap topped w/ Sautéed Mushrooms, roast Cherry Tomato and sliced Roast Chicken: 3 warmed Sweet Potato Falafel: 1/4 bag of Carrot Batons, blanched Baby Corn & Sugar Snaps w/ 2-3tbsps Onion Chutney. Bottle of Ribena

Beth: Oh no, yoghurt!? I'll have to check... it's weird because there's also the strawberry, banana and chocolate in the same pack. Well done for your varied eats, the french toast looks incredible!! Well done :)
Spiritriser: Join the world wide toffee crisp appreciation! :) Yay! Peanut butter oreos - WOW, sound amazing!
Thebiggerpicture: Yes, I definitely do like a tipple :-P Tia maria or kahula is my ultimate drink of choice; with coke makes a lovely cocktail. For all of those (over 18/21 in US?) banana lovers - banana liqueur with pineapple juice and topped up with lemonade YUM! Wine is definitely up there, too :)
Houseelf: Yes, yes, marmite and avocado is incredible - nom nom nom... definitely one of my favourites :) I love salt, so marmite goes down well.
Haven't got my toffee crisp yet, but we're going shopping, so I'll scour the shops until I find one... won't be too hard. I've recently also rekindled my love for flakes - they were on offer, so it was an irresistible purchase - I like weird textured chocolate... wispa is also a good one.
Good luck guys and I'll be thinking of you as I sink my teeth in :)

thebiggerpicture - MUFFINSKIS! yess they are so good. the banana toffee muffin is sooo lovely. but all the muffins are lovely. literally my favorite muffins in the whole of london, maybe the world. enjoy the raspberry and banana one, its really good, especially if you warm it first.
shadowylight. starbars are like the best cadburys chocolate bar. totally calorific but worth every bite. they are like chocoloate covered peanut buttery caramely fondant stuff. beth knows. they are epic. my dietician has told me that afternoon snack has to be a chocolate or cake or something, so i thought "perscribed starbar? i think so!" was quite hard for me, but i have to have them back in my life.
partyring sunbites are the only crisps ill eat right now. havent eaten any crisps in ages, but now they are mealplanny so im trying. potatoes are just a lot but i need to get over that, especially with crisps as they are really low gi, but its the high gi of potato that stopped me eating it in the first place. im the same though, if it has loads of fibre and will fill me up for ages im ok eating it. im just so worried ill eat and eat and not stop because ill be so hungry after the chocolate because of its gi, but eating everything wouldnt be bad for me right now.
also, i know i drink a lot of tea, at the moment very cooled down. its just really good. peppermint tea aids disgestion, jasmine tea tastes of flowers, ginger and cardomon for first thing to help with bloating and chamomile for bedtime to relax me. tea is really good for you, though i hate black tea soo much.
there should be a crisp day, with planned real crisps and a little bit of friendly pressure to make it happen.
also beth, oatibix are weird, like really cold porridge. their kinda nice but they feel a little wrong you know?
yesterday was really tough. late night museum yesterday meant dinner was outside the house, there was lots of social drinking and i was completely out of my comfort zone. still, tried it, got uncomfortable but kept up with my mp.
yesterdays eats
breakfast - 40g all bran with 150ml s.s.milk, 2 crumpets spread with nutella with a black coffee. followed by peppermint tea.
snack - dorset cereals honey granola bar and a pink lady apple and jasmine tea.
lunch - seedy deli wrap, toasted and spread with tzatziki with a slice of jamie oliver jerked ham (really nice) and griddled cherry toms (3) and 1/3 pepper with salad and extra beetroot, rosmary and onion sunbites wholegrain crisps and diet coke. followed by activia raspberry layer and a peach with peppermint tea.
snack - kitkat chunky caramel (!!!) and a plum with jasmine tea.
dinner - weird sausage bruschetta creation with 2 quorn sausages, 6 cherry tomatoes, a little bit of onion and garlic and tomato puree on a wholemeal pita with salad and beetroot salad and a glass of PIMMS (!). followed by a tup of strawberry ice cream (all melted and horrible)and a diet coke.
snack - little pot of yeovalley natural yogurt with 1tbsp almond flakes, 3 dried figs, 3 dried apricots and half a tsp of honey (this meal made me feel so guilty, lots of fears but its what i wanted and im glad i did it) with a sleepy tea.

partyring- Haah a little day off from Starbucks :P Err not really, I lovee cereal so I could just live off it anyway, I chose bran flakes cause I love them as well as the Jordans and then the raisins and granola are even more calorie dense which makes it less bulky :) And yea I'd never used to like prawns actually but I do now- haah lol I have crispy prawns in batter in the fridge for sometime soon :P
gim challenging myself to consume 2 chocolate bars (kitkatchunky or galaxy cus theyre 'safe' even though they have more cals?! my mind is screwed) everyday for the next 3 days. Im at my dad's so there isnt much food i can eat. So 2 chocolate bars and 2 high cal cereal bars, you with me @jammiedodger? -it better be all worth it lol. woo same peppers thanks for doing it with me- i know the squashy food is horrible!!, and i had the foccacia too :O we are gonna kill this thing. i was scared about my calorie intake but now reading your mp yet again has inspired me matey :) OMG i have brioche rolls!! maybe we should have it again sunday? juice today.. malted milk tuesday? ooh do you like flapjaks? i tried one the other day in whats gotta be yonks and it didnt exaclty go down a treat but it was alright haha. ly :P :)
@houseelf did you create the pink salad yourself cus it sounds divine, OMG innocent smoothies =<3 avocado + marmite = -_-
spiritriser oooh kettle? they're fancy haha! expensive probabley too. they're the ones like redsky right? free samples in a shopping centre by any chance or literally delivered to your door :P WHERE do they do PBoreos?!! :O when you say calorie dense, what do you mean?
beth22_x WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
tuna tahini pittas? niceeeeeeeeeeeeee
mystery_girl good job your mom picked you up!! :D wow, cashew nut butter! i cant even find almond butter in the supermarket where's cashew?! bet it taste better than peanut? Oh My God: white chocolate and peanut butter yumyum- is that bought or did you add it??
scrunchy could we do like wednesday for the crisps? Thats the only day i can do it lol is wednesday- friday due to where i am at the moment (my dads, not ip). yeah potato is my worst fear its like aagggggggh! i know the oh im not gonna stop eating feeling :/ but yeah crisps next week but if you want to get it over with yourself then feel free :P right then, i need to get tea but theres green tea already in the house- it's just im banned from it because i once became addicted lol! oh my god, i used to ADORE yeovalley!! ive never tried the natural one though. well done for facing a number of fears <3
edit: @baybeehannah im going wednesday i think ;D OMG are they by ANYYYYY chance the M&S ones in like filo and breadcrumb or something?? ah i used to love bran flakes, but i thought its easier to eat fruit and fibre because of the calories but harder cus of the density. oh so you wack porridge oats inwith all that other stuff too hehe ?

Just to say I think I'm going to move away from this thread, perhaps over to YCC until I can cross to your new thread in maintaining raspberryrose, wish you the best of luck!

Thanks raspberryrose, partyring, and beth:) The hardest part is figuring out how many calories your own body needs to maintain, because you are the only who can find that out:/ I will find out though, don't worry!
P.S. Yesterday I got cleared for running cross country:') I am in tears of joy: the goals I've been working towards (running cross country, recovering) are all becoming real at this very moment. I am so overwelmed with joy, that I hope you all continue to strive for the best recovery for yourself so you can feel this accomplishment happiness too! You will feel so much better at the end of it all than you did at the start:) I will have to be monitored while running because I may have pancreatitis, which is common with people who are reefeeding. We don't think I do, but I am in good hands and will be monitored closely! Anyways, this is my final farewell and I will miss you all! Hopefully I won't miss you for long if you guys get to the maintainer's forum;)
