Healthy is a word that gets thrown around, to the point where it's almost meaningless. Todays Wellness Wednesday post answers the question what is healthy, and what it means to me.
Have I told you guys about my nutrition counseling mastermind group? Every other Thursday, I google chat with a group of dietitians who also do nutrition counseling and blog: Anne, Alex, Robyn, and Kylie. We all work in the disordered eating/intuitive eating realm, so it's a great place to brainstorm, share and learn.
Have you ever had a group of people where every time you get together, you leave feeling inspired, supported and basically ready to win at life? That's how it is with this crew. They're essentially my Taylor Swift RD girl squad…except in that metaphor, I think I'm Hailee Steinfeld.
From what I can gather from instagram, we all have very different eating habits. Alex needs a tofu intervention, Robyn really likes dipping dark chocolate into things, Anne would starve without Blue Apron, and Kylie likes to make food love children (quichezzza aka quiche-pizza, french toast-avocado toast…). Yet, we all have the same basic food principles. Food is meant to be savored. Dieting and deprivation is the actual worst. Eat food that makes you feel awesome.
A few weeks ago, Anne emailed an article on a new study that examined how people eat in response to various descriptors, including healthy, unhealthy and nourishing. It found that after eating a cookie labeled as healthy, participants reported being more hungry than eating the same cookie when it was labeled unhealthy. They also found that people ate significantly more popcorn after being told it was healthy than when it was labeled nourishing or unhealthy. So basically, you'll probably feel hungrier and eat more if you think what you're eating is healthy, regardless of how 'healthy' it actually is.
This prompted a discussion, since we're all conflicted on the word. On one hand, well, see above. Calling something healthy essentially gives a green light to eat as much as you want, paying no attention to portions, fullness and how it makes you feel. And what does healthy even mean? Sure, my cinnamon spice cookies, made with almond meal, naturally sweetened with raisin paste, and packed with healthy (<–there it is again!) fats from coconut oil and nut butter certainly qualify to most as healthy, but if labeling them as such triggers binge eating half the pan, are they still healthy?
On the other hand, as bloggers, the word healthy is helpful for google rankings and helps the people who need us most to find us. People don't search for "whole grain cookies made with just a little bit sugar and coconut oil instead of butter", they search for "healthy cookies".
To healthy, or not to healthy. That is the question.
That's when Kylie chimed. "I think it's worth us trying to redefine the world healthy. Not using the word healthy doesn't help anyone. People have to reframe their opinions of what healthy is."
She is so right. When the world healthy is used around food, most people interpret it to mean nutrient-dense/real food/low fat/low carb/high protein/paleo/gluten free/sugar free or whatever their particular spin is. But true "healthy" has only a little to do with food itself. It has to do with behaviors.
So yes, I will continue to describe food as healthy from time to time, just to appease the google gods. When I describe a food as healthy, I mean to say it's nutrient-dense and made with whole foods. But please know, that's not necessarily what healthy means to me.
Part of healthy is eating mostly real, whole foods with an emphasis on plants. This is a big part, but much smaller than what most people think.
Healthy is eating mostly real, whole foods with an emphasis on plants and not feeling deprived when you do, or guilty when you don't.
Healthy is not basing your self worth on food choices, considering yourself 'good' when you've eaten mostly real, whole foods with an emphasis on plants or 'bad' when you don't.
Healthy is moving your body regularly, not with the goal of burning calories, paying penance for eating 'bad' or to build an unrealistic physique, but because moving your body makes you feel awesome, gives you energy or helps you reach a goal, like running a 5K.
Healthy is being able to find pleasure in food, because no matter how delicious the food is, you trust yourself that you'll be able to stop eating before feeling sick to your stomach full.
Healthy is getting enough sleep, prioritizing self care, connecting with those you love and nourishing your soul as much as you nourish your body. Healthy is also going through times when you're sleep deprived, don't have time to devote to the people you love, and feel empty inside. But you recognize it, and take steps to correct it now, rather than waiting for "things to settle down."
Healthy is aiming to eat mindfully, but also recognizing that living a full life means scarfing down the occasional meal at your desk, and that's OK.
Healthy is being able to stop eating when you feel satisfied and satiated. When you know restriction isn't in your future, it's easy to moderate portions without even thinking about portions.
Healthy being able to cope with emotions without food, but also recognizing that there are times when you've had a really bad day, and dammit, an ice cream cone WILL make you feel better.
Healthy is accepting your body, as it is. Or at least trying to accept it as it is – everyone has days when they don't like what they see in the mirror. Healthy doesn't exclude trying to tone your arms or flatten your stomach, as long as self worth isn't involved and achieving it doesn't entail dangerous or unsustainable methods. It's simply being realistic about your genetic blueprint, and trying to love yourself, as your are, in this moment.
Now, I'd love to hear from you. What does healthy mean in your book? If you had to define it, what would you say?

I was hoping somebody could help me with some strange problems I'm gettin with my first BMW, it's a 530d e60 2003. I've had it about 2 weeks and have noticed some strange issues. Basically it randomly throws up some faults, which include fuel pump, transmission, dynamic steering. They only happen now and then and only ever when I'm about to start it. If I leave it for a few moments they seem to go away and the car runs great, they never pop up when it's running.
I have noticed it seem to happen after rain or a wash. I took it to a garage who hooked it up and said it had glow plugs faults 1 to 6 which they cleared. The cars basically been running fine apart from when the faults show up it won't start, either wont even try or just turns the started but won't start the engine.
I think it was just recalled before I got it for a new intelligent battery sensor lead. Before I leave it to the shop and pay a fortune in diagnostics I was wondering does this sound like a bit of water getting in somewhere and if so where should I look?
If anyone has any ideas I'd be really great full.
Apart from all of that the garage said its so quick they thinks its mapped hard, and said that the map may be throwing up the faults. Nightmare, have no clue what to do next!!

Best lenses for the Canon EOS Rebel T5 / 1200D: Best performing primes on a budgetBy Kevin Carter - Tuesday June 03 2014 Lens Recommendations
In the first part of our comprehensive lens recommendations for the new entry-level Canon EOS Rebel T5 / 1200D, we've assessed a raft of primes from both the maker and third parties to see how well they perform on the camera. As well as highlighting the best performers we've also taken a closer look at the best on a budget.
Announced in February this year, the EOS Rebel T5 (EOS 1200D in Europe) is the latest entry-level model from the maker and is the successor to the 12-Mpix EOS T3 (EOS 1100D). The most significant modification the adoption of an 18-Mpix APS-C CMOS sensor, but the T5 also adds full HD video capture at 1920 x 1020 up from 1280 x 720 and includes a new 'cinematic' 24 fps option to the 30/25 fps of its predecessor. The Rebel T5 adopts the same Digic 4 processor with 100-6400 ISO sensitivity and 3 fps continuous shooting, however there's a new expanded ISO option up to ISO12,800 and slightly larger 460k-dot 3-inch rear LCD (up from 230k 2.7-inch). Also, there's a range of five new filter effects plus it adopts the new standardized menu layout but this refresh is quite clearly aimed at keeping the costs down and the price competitive. As a result it's one of the most accessibly priced DSLRs on the market and is available at around $549, including EF-S 18-55mm IS II f3.5-5.6 kit zoom.
Although it has a modest spec, the EOS Rebel T5 accepts the widest range of lenses offered by any maker – past and present. Canon's EF lens mount remains essentially unchanged from when it was first introduced in 1987. DxOMark have worked incessantly to analyze the optical performance of over 130 full frame and APS-C models from both Canon and third-party makers, ranging from the uniquely wide, yet reasonably compact APS-C Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM through to the affordable 18-55mm 'starter' zooms and up to the new and not so accessibly priced full-frame EF 600mm f/4 IS II USM and EF 200-400mm f/4 IS USM Extender 1.4x models.
Some of the more recent introductions analyzed by DxOMark include:
- Zeiss Distagon T* Otus 1,4/55
- Samyang 16mm f2.0 ED AS UMC CS
- Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x (extender on and off)
- Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM A Canon
- Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
- Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC HSM A Canon
- Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM
Best primes on Canon EOS 1200D
Wide angle: Samyang 16mm f2.0 ED AS UMC CS
Short standard: Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM A
Portrait lens: Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II
Moderate telephoto: Canon EF 85mm f1.8 USM

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
This is the second and final part of our comprehensive lens recommendations for the new entry-level Canon EOS Rebel T5 / 1200D. This time we've assessed zoom lenses from both the Canon and third party makers to see how well they perform on the camera, and like before we'll not only reveal the best performers but also take a closer look at the more accessibly priced options.

This product offers good moisturizing coverage without being heavy. It has a nice, light scent as well, which is always a plus. I can't say it has any great firming effects because I haven't noticed a difference after using it for a month. It's a good product though, for just a basic moisturizer.4

Hi Runner's
I did a 3mile run this morning and I was hoping someone could advise what the best foods to eat after a run.
bacon butty
If you want a real answer on nutrition check out www.optimumnutrition4sport.co.uk and read some of his very good articles.
Thanks WiB!
After 3 miles, just eat what you would normally eat for breakfast/midday snack. A bowl of cereals or peanut butter on toast is more than adequate.
Thanks FB

Google Goggles Updates; Now Includes Real-time Searching
Android: The already impressive Google Goggles application has a new trick up its sleeve, real-time image searching. You can now set your phone camera to always search for matches in the Google database.
Prior to this update you had to open Google Goggles, use the camera function within the app itself, and photograph the object you were looking for. With the new update you can tell Google Goggles to sit in the background and actively scan the photos you take with the default camera application–if there is a match of any sort you'll get a status bar notification you can click on to investigate further.
To turn on the feature open the options menu within Google Goggles and check "Search from Camera".
If you already have Goggles installed, simply update it to access the new features. Otherwise, visit the Android Market to grab a copy. Google Goggles is a free app, requires Android 2.1+.

I had a cleint like that. They begin stalking me with emails and phone calls. I had to turn it over to my attorney and they left me alone.
You did an awesome job and sometimes people will do and say things to hurt you. I don't think anything you would have done would have made them happy. Just know your work is beyond excellent! Keep up the good work:)

Framing inspection failed due to roof
County inspector failed framing on my garage because the 7/16 OSB sheathing on 24" centers for the roof did not have plywood H-clips. He said an acceptable fix would be to install 2x4 blocking at all plywood seams.
This is fine, but it ruins my plan for insulating the roof with fiberglass, using the foam baffles to leave an air gap for ventilation from the soffit to the ridge vent. The main problem being that what would have been a 2" air gap, will now be reduced to 0.5" because of the installed blocking.
Are there any alternatives to the blocking that I could use? Perhaps something with steel that I could affix to the underside of the seams?
H clips might work
Sounds like inspector may be helping you out here.
H clips add a expansion joint between the osb, those little clips do not really give you support on seams when walking on roof.
I f you butted the osb up tight with no clips, in future the osb will expand and contract, causing the joints to buckle .... may not cause your roof to leak, but can look like crap very quickly.
By adding the 2x4 blocks underneath, may be able to control this ... but just using H clips in first place would have been better.
So inspector feels your pain, gives you an alternative that may work without forcing you to tear the sheathing off and redo it .... and you are asking for a easier way?
At this point, do what the inspector tells you, anything else and he may make you tear it off and do it right.
Funfool: Thanks for replying, but you're making some incorrect assumptions here. This is a contractor who built this garage for me, one which is well known and well established.
Re-read my post carefully.
I would rather the inspector require me (rather, the contractor) to tear off the roof and do it right. The fact that the inspector gave leeway with the blocking is throwing a wrench into my plans for insulation - which I am DIY'ing.
What I'm asking is if there's any other way besides blocking to correct this - preferably a method which would still allow me to maximize my R-value and required ventilation gap under the roof deck.
Hope this clears up the confusion.
run some 2" by 2" battens vertically on the roof at the seam and still put the blockers in there horizontally. This will preserve the vent space and still support the seams of the plywood.
Just as a side not......if the contractor is so well respected.....7/16" OSB 24" OC? Are you kidding? I don't think I have seen a roof done with 7/16" OSB where it was not sagging....16" OC is marginal...but 24"? The blocking is going to help a lot with the sagging....be glad the inspector wants it.
I did a lot of research on OSB vs plywood for roof....from what I can tell, Plywood is by far much better for a roof.
shouldn't the contractor be responsible for doing thing to code?
Using H clips is roofing 101, I'd make the so called contractor redo the roof at no charge.
If the panel rating is 24/0, you need the blocking or clip, if 24/16---- not required, check the panel ink stamp in the attic...unless it is a local code amendment. http://www.apawood.org/pablog/index....Roof-Sheathing
P.S. the air channel is for cathedral raked roofs, not insulated attic floor, I may not understand your application.
Thanks for the super-helpful post, GBR. It is stamped 24/16. Maybe the inspector missed that. Ill double check.
The garage has a narrow 10 foot attic area in the center of the trusses, but is otherwise open to the rest of the garage. I plan on using tools in the space, so i want it conditioned. In other words, it will have a cathedral ceiling.
You are welcome. If you don't need them, you could make your own baffles; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...n-roof-venting
The plastic baffles are better than the foam ones that rip on the protruding nails in the roof sheathing. With insulation touching these types/styles baffles, you get thermal conduction= loss of R-value. The rigid foamboard also stops insulation wetting from "night-sky radiation"; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...bout-diffusion and leaves all the roof sheathing open/exposed to air flow to remove moisture.
If the garage isn't that big and the roof isn't installed.Mark 1/8" off the seam,,pop a chalk line,,set your saw,cut the 1/8" along the seam,,bend one side of the clip flat,,insert,,then flatten the clip.
If your contractor is so well established why did he make such a rookie mistake? Make him come back and fix his mistake at his expense. It is his responsibility to do the work to local code. I would be ashamed to leave my customer with this kind of mess.
It sounds like an un-vented attic assembly is the best way to remedy this.
Be helpful---Mike-----
Andy, presuming you mean spray foam insulation on the bottom side of the sheathing when yous aid "unvented attic assembly" that may be the quickest way to please the building inspector after installing the braces the inspector had requested. However won't do anything for sheathing buckling if no spaces were left between the sheets, and also could also possible void and/or limit some shingle manufacturer's shingle warrantys.
oh' Mike the original poster stated he had hired a contractor to build the garage. So the question remains, why is the original poster accepting sub standard work for his/her money invested? Why now does the original poster want to now DIY repair something the contractor, to whom I presume was paid, screwed up?
That is akin to buying a brand new car from the show room floor of a new car dealer, and rebuilding the engine the day you take it home because the engine is knocking.

Pilots' union: Joyce 'insane'
Richard Woodwood, Vice President of the Australian & International Pilots' Union, describes Qantas CEO Alan Joyce's decision to lockout all pilot's as insane.
The ACTU has accused Qantas of deliberately grounding its fleet rather than negotiating an agreement to with unions to end the industrial dispute that has crippled Australian air travel.
"Clearly there has been a conspiracy here," ACTU secretary Jeff Lawrence said prior to entering the Fair Work hearing in Melbourne, which was convened at the request of the federal government.
"Clearly this decision had been made for some time.
"Nobody believes the decision was made on Saturday and they have been preparing for it for some time."
Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten said the government was not looking to blame anybody over the grounding, but wanted the issue resolved quickly so that thousands of stranded passengers affected by the dispute could reach their destinations.
"We certainly want Qantas flying as soon as possible," Mr Shorten said.
Prior to entering the hearing, Mr Shorten said there was enough "smart people to resolve this matter".
He said that he had been "staggered" by the action the airline had taken in grounding its fleet.

Writer's Note: This is the Aug. 1 article. Computer glitch…
Have you ever thought of a book and then wondered why no one had ever written it? I do all the time. Now let's think about that for a second……hummmm…how stupid are we?
If we are musing over a book that hasn't been written, should we get to writing it? I'm serious….why wouldn't we? The answer is because, as writers, we are often trying to be "too" practical about our writing. I know that in my personal experience I have talked myself out of many a book because I have "reasoned" my way out. Things like, "I don't have time", "people really wouldn't be interested", "that's not my genre" and "that would be silly" all run through my little mind in a concerted effort to derail a project that popped up in my head. If you think about that, what a waste.
I have also thought of an idea for a project, shelved it in the don't-do-because-it-is-silly section of my writer's brain only to find that someone else has run with the idea some 6 months later. I end up kicking myself all the way back to my desk whining, why didn't I follow through on that….because I could have been THAT guy…with the book and all the selling….it's literally money lost.
Chances are, if you have an idea for a book, someone else has that idea too. I personally believe in the writer's guff, that place where all story ideas reside. I think that like the guff for souls, story ideas are doled out as needed and the writer has an opportunity to run with that story idea. If you don't, it's your loss but the idea goes back into the guff for another writer. Eventually, all stories get written, it's just a question of by whom.
I don't know about you but, in light of all this realization, I have decided to stop poo pooing story ideas and, instead, run with them. Sure there will still be some that are silly and even when they are written out, they won't be sellable but who cares…at least the piece got written…by me…just in case it was a good idea in the first place. So fellow writers stop shunning those ideas as silly or un-writable and beat the other guys to the punch. Leave no story unwritten…who knows…that idea that you thought was silly…(like sparkly vampires) just may be the one.

Princess Michael of Kent has bought a painting from the Edinburgh gallery doggerfisher by Hanneline Visnes, entitled - somehow appropriately - Eagles With Jewellery. Numerous other glitterati have visited the Frieze art fair in London's Regent's Park, including Dennis Hopper, Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer, Tom Ford, Hugh Grant, Philip Green and Kate Moss.
Perhaps more surprisingly, so have luminaries from both main political parties. George Osborne has visited, and Samantha Cameron. The culture secretary, James Purnell, endorsed the event by way of a gushing statement; arts minister Margaret Hodge is due in today. Milling among the super-rich and artists are also school parties and mothers pushing prams; ticket sales to the fair are up 36% year on year.
All this is evidence of how deeply and widely the Frieze art fair, founded by Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp, has burrowed its way into British culture, or at least London culture, in a way that would have seemed unimaginable five years ago. "It keeps surprising me how many people want to be here, whether it's artists, the general public, celebrities," says gallerist Susanna Beaumont, who owns doggerfisher.
"Everybody wants to be seen to be part of it. It feels like the fair has come of age, in a way."
Frieze is the first big test for the art market since the turbulence in the American economy over the summer. Those jitters seem not to have cooled the buying frenzy. Beaumont had sold 80% of the art on her booth by halfway through the fair's first public day. Those who had shown interest included a wealthy American collector in asset management; but also the novelist Andrew O'Hagan and "old money" including members of the banking family the Flemings.
The point is, say dealers, that wobbles in the US economy are now more than balanced out by the ever-increasing range of collectors for contemporary art, whether wealthy collectors from eastern Europe or the Middle East, or even middle-class Brits for whom contemporary art is a fashion statement as well as a genuine enthusiasm.
Sadie Coles, owner of the established London gallery Sadie Coles HQ, said she had had a record-breaking year: "It is extraordinary how broad the market has become, with new clients from the Middle East, Europe and Korea much in evidence. The ratio of US and non-US sales is completely different from five years ago. All the big American collectors were here, some complaining about the dollar/pound. But most art dealers sell in dollars if the artist is American anyway, so it wasn't significantly affecting things."
Maureen Paley, who represents artists such as the Turner prizewinner Wolfgang Tillmans from her east London gallery, said business at Frieze had been "extraordinary" and "very brisk". She said: "The art world is more global, and not as American-dependent, as it has been. There are so many more European and British collectors."
There were rumours of big new collectors entering the fray: an unknown Turkish man, who was not on any of the many VIP lists at the fair, had been on a shopping spree, buying from White Cube, Sadie Coles, young London gallery Dicksmith and Lehmann Maupin.
Tom Hanbury, of London's Dicksmith, sounded a rare note of caution. "It feels that people are being a bit more careful this year. It's not crazy-crazy."
As well as the £84,000 spent on the Honert sculptures, Saatchi's shopping trip also took him to the young east London gallery Herald Street, from which he bought three sculptures called The Lizard, The Fairy Feller, and The Mole by Spartacus Chetwynd, for £9,000 each.
Nicky Verber, co-owner of the gallery, said "For us the fair is stronger than last year. We've sold 70 to 80% of what's on the stand."
Frieze art fair continues until tomorrow.

Geothermal hot water
I have a new installed geothermal system, closed loop system that was professionaly installed. Along with that two 50 gallon hot water heaters (electric). looking for ideas on why I run out of hot water quickly even when the geo unit is running. Basically if I fill a bath tub the hot water is gone.
Any ideas, thoughts or suggestions?
I did ensure all valves were turned on going from one hot water heater to the other.
Are both water heaters wired/ plumbed and operating properly? What is the temp. setpoint on the heaters? I have one 40 gal heater and have more than enough hot water.

The International Automobile Federation published the entry list for the 2013 Formula 1 season with the notable absence of HRT, suggesting that the Spanish team has brought the shutters down to its operations.
Thesan Capital, the owners of HRT, had said last month that they were in talks with a number of potential buyers to sell the team but appear to have failed to rope in an investor to keep the team alive.
Friday was set as the deadline for all teams to pay the entry fees for the participation in next year's championship, with each to shell out a basic $500,000 along with $5,000 for every point scored in the 2012 season.
However, as the per new regulation, the constructors' champions are required to cough up $6,000 for every point recorded, which means Red Bull had to pay $3.26 million.
HRT, which finished last in the standings with no points, was required to pay only the standard $500,000.
"HRT fails to enter for 2013, we are down to 22 cars. With 2014 engine costs looking scary can see 'customer' F1 cars back on the agenda," former F1 driver Martin Brundle mentioned on his Twitter page.
The entry list confirms the participation of the remaining 11 teams although not all the drivers are named yet.
Kimi Raikkonen's teammate to be established at Lotus indicating that Romain Grosjean's future is uncertain. And although Sauber and Toro Rosso named both its drivers for the 2013 season, the schedule declares that their line-ups are yet to be announced.
Force India, Caterham and Marussia's drivers are not named either although Paul di Resta, Charles Pic and Timo Glock, respectively, will be continuing behind the wheel of an F1 car next year.

"I'm sure I never saw a prettier party than this," Arthur said, looking round at the
apple-cheeked children. "My aunt and the Miss Irwines will come up and see you
presently. They were afraid of the noise of the toasts, but it would be a shame for
them not to see you at table."
He walked on, speaking to the mothers and patting the children, while Mr. Irwine
satisfied himself with standing still and nodding at a distance, that no one's
attention might be disturbed from the young squire, the hero of the day. Arthur
did not venture to stop near Hetty, but merely bowed to her as he passed along
the opposite side. The foolish child felt her heart swelling with discontent; for
what woman was ever satisfied with apparent neglect, even when she knows it to
be the mask of love? Hetty thought this was going to be the most miserable day
she had had for a long while, a moment of chill daylight and reality came across
her dream: Arthur, who had seemed so near to her only a few hours before, was
separated from her, as the hero of a great procession is separated from a small
outsider in the crowd.

"TinyPrints rocks!!! Adorable products from great designers. The real kicker is the service, though. I was really late prepping my Valentine photo cards this year. Stayed up late picking photos and uploading stuff 4 days before Valentine's, and I literally had the (BEAUTIFUL) cards in my hand 36 hours later. The charge for rush service was completely reasonable. This was 3 separate cards, mind you, one for each kid. My one wish regarding this particular card would be for ALL the text, even the colorful fancy font areas, to be customizable. Only the small print fields could be edited. This is a really minor quibble though."
"Adored this card. Easy to create. Received SO MANY COMPLIMENTS! Will continue to avoid the Christmas card frenzy and continue to send a family Valentine's Day one instead!"
"This card was perfect for our family Valentine cards. The colors were vibrant. The paper quality was superb. We received more compliments on these cards than on the Christmas cards we designed through another company that cost much more!"
"I downloaded the photos but did not do anything more to change the images. The card came out perfect. I had the main photo in front and two on the back."
"This Valentine's Day card was the perfect card to use for a pregnancy announcement! The quality of the card stock was 10x better than other purchases I've made from other retailers. The colors were also vibrant!"

New Coast Guard vessel stuck in shipyard
By Joseph Yeh, The China Post Tuesday, February 11, 2014, 12:10 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Coast Guard Administration's (CGA) new 3,000-ton patrol vessel is still stuck in a shipyard in the southern city of Kaohsiung, one month after the CGA officially launched the vessel, a local newspaper said yesterday.
The CGA held a ceremony at Kaohsiung on Jan. 3 when the vessel, named "Yilan," serial number CG-128, was officially launched.
However, the largest CGA ship so far is still docked at the shipyard due to a malfunction on the shipyard's support saddles for the vessel, the Chinese-language United Evening News reported yesterday.
A CGA source told the newspaper that the serious malfunction has delayed the scheduled sea trials of the vessel.
The CGA was originally scheduled to conduct a series of tests on the ship at sea. It also planned to conduct live fire tests of the 40mm gun fire control system installed on the ship in the near future.
Due to the delay, the CGA has decided to file a legal suit against the shipbuilding company that was responsible for the construction of the vessel over violations of the deals agreed to in the contract.
It will ask the shipbuilder to pay an NT$5 million fine, the report said.
The patrol vessel has a length of 117.61 meters, a width of 15.2 meters and is designed with a helicopter flight deck capable of landing a helicopter when necessary to beef up the CGA's rescue operations in the open sea.
In addition, the CGA said yesterday that it has reached agreements with the Navy and the National Airborne Service Corps (空勤總隊) under the Interior Ministry, in which the two units have agreed to offer technical assistance to the CGA in helping the administration launch and land helicopters on the Yilan.
Yilan and Kaohsiung
According to the CGA, the vessel was named Yilan because it will be responsible for patrolling the seas off the northeastern county.
The vessel will be responsible for safeguarding R.O.C. territorial claims and fishing rights in the northern sea, including the waters near the disputed Diaoyutai Islands.
Another 3,000-ton vessel, the "Kaohsiung," serial number CG-129, will be officially launched in March.
The Kaohsiung will be responsible for transporting supplies to Taiwan-controlled islands in the South China Sea, including the Dongsha Islands (東沙島) and Taiping Island in the Spratly island chain.
The two 3,000-ton ships were built at a total cost of NT$5.2 billion and were part of a total of 37 ships commissioned under a 10-year plan with a total budget of NT$24.07 billion in order to beef up the capacity of the CGA to enforce the law, carry out rescue operations and safeguard Taiwan's fishing rights.
After the ships enter service, the number of ships in the CGA's fleet will increase to 173, a total of 36,000 tons.
The CGA commissioned two new ships last March, including the 2,000-ton frigate "Hsinbei," meaning New Taipei, and a 1,000-ton patrol boat, the "Hsunhu No. 8."

Paid Parking Letter to Wellington City Council
To the Mayor and Councillors,
As the national president of the Restaurant Association of New Zealand, I write on behalf of the association's members to express our strong concern regarding the proposed increase of paid parking from $4 per hour to $5 per hour, and the proposed extension of paid parking to 8pm, Monday – Thursday and 10pm, Friday.
On- street parking is critical to supporting Wellington's arts and entertainment industry, and we believe that increasing the cost and extending the time of paid parking will have a negative impact.
We appreciate the importance the Wellington City Council is putting on improving arts and entertainment within the city. However, we believe the paid parking increase and extension of paid parking hours is in contradiction to the draft Annual Plan. In section 3.2 Business Support, the WCC draft Annual Plan proposes the support and growth of the retail and entertainment districts, celebrate business creativity and that proposed cuts have been mindful to not jeopardise economic recovery and minimise impact. (p.53)
Increasing parking rates and extending the paid parking hours presents a direct charge on the patrons of these industries. This will have a negative impact, and undoubtedly jeopardise the economic situation of local business and will send more Wellingtonians to seek out retail and entertainment in Lower Hutt and Petone as expressed by Chamber of Commerce chief executive Ken Harris in the media release Wellington Business oppose parking fee increase (May, 3, 2011)
Seattle, Washington D.C and Austin, Texas have both experienced similar proposals and implementations from their city councils in the past 6 months. In both of these instances there was a strong resistance from small business owners, residents and those in arts and entertainment. Seattle revised their price hikes and an Austin City Council survey results showed that 81% who valued the existing parking system would be less likely to visit down town were the proposal put in place.
In Fayetteville, Arkansas the Council soon scaled back the hours of paid parking to provide immediate relief to local businesses who claimed a 30-40% loss in business as a result.
We are concerned this proposal will have a similar effect on Wellington business. Consider a couple going out on a Tuesday Night: $10 pizza special at a local restaurant and $20 double movie pass at Embassy or Reading. Their total cost is $30 for an evening's entertainment. Add $10 for parking and their evening expenditure has increased by 33%.
The week night entertainment goers help maintain the revenue of the local restaurants and businesses that are so often commended for the arts and entertainment culture Wellington boasts. In extending the paid parking time this decision will directly impact the many arts and entertainment businesses that bring pedestrian vitality to the city centre.
We encourage the council to consider this proposal's effects on both patrons and industry, and ultimately on the city if implemented. Wellington is the jewel in New Zealand's crown; a vibrant and creative environment enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. It would be a shame to undo all the good work the Council and residents have done to achieve this.
Yours Sincerely,
Mike Egan - President of the Restaurant Association of New Zealand

O'Bannon suit may open door for a players' trade association
U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken's order last Friday to partially certify a class action against the NCAA could soon present college athletes with an interesting choice: whether to join a trade association that would negotiate contracts for them. No such association exists yet, but sources close to Ed O'Bannon's legal team say it could be formed in a matter of months. Organizational efforts, which involve several law firms, began immediately after Wilken's order to certify a class action against the NCAA's amateurism rules.
MICHAEL McCANN: Judge partially certifies O'Bannon class
A trade association for college athletes would function as a players' association and would negotiate contacts with television networks, video game companies and other organizations that profit from college players' images, likenesses and names. This means, for example, that college sports video games with real players and names would become possible. The trade association would also seek negotiated compensation for college athletes in the form of long-term disability and pension benefits. Many of the trade association's goals would embrace those of the National College Players' Association, a California-based advocacy group for college athletes' rights.
As the trade association is now envisioned, all current and former Division I football and men's basketball players could join, though it is possible that Division I athletes from other sports may be invited as well. This entity would be classified as a non-profit trade association and not as a "union", mainly because student-athletes are students and not employees for purposes of labor law. Trade associations are very similar to unions. Most crucially, they can negotiate contracts on behalf of industry parties. In this case, student-athletes would be the primary industry party.
To be clear, Wilken's order was not on the merits of the case and NCAA amateurism rules, which bar student-athletes from receiving compensation, remain lawful and in effect. Her order only authorized Ed O'Bannon, Sam Keller and a group of other former and current Division I men's basketball and football players to challenge those rules on behalf of tens of thousands of people in similar situations. Future college athletes now have the most to gain from the O'Bannon case. A trial is set for next June and its outcome could give birth to a new system of college sports.
Sources say Wilken's order is not the first recent event to spur momentum for a college athlete trade association. The first was how the NCAA responded -- or, more accurately, didn't respond -- to Grambling State football payers when they boycotted practice and refused to play a game against Jackson State last month. To some, the NCAA's silence signaled it lacks "the will" to stop a ground swell for college athlete empowerment. Efforts to compensate college athletes are therefore not waiting for the resolution of the O'Bannon case or for the NCAA to change its rules. Those efforts, according to one source, "are happening right now."
GEORGE DOHRMANN: The mess at Grambling
It is unclear how a trade association would recruit college athletes to join, though there is speculation recruitment would involve a website where players could learn about the trade association and sign up. College players would likely be reminded of the substantial revenue they generate. Last Thursday's Oregon-Stanford game, which aired in primetime on ESPN, is illustrative of how popular and mainstream college sports have become.
Still, some college players may be reluctant to join what amounts to a union. They could reason that they are only in college for four years and that they do not want to professionalize their lives during that time. Fear of reprisal was said to discourage some current football and men's basketball players from joining O'Bannon's lawsuit. Also, until the NCAA changes its rules voluntarily or by court order, college players could lose their athletic eligibility by accepting any compensation. It stands to reason that a trade association would most effectively recruit members by convincing entire teams to join.
Former College Athletes Left Behind?
The possibility of compensation is less likely for former college athletes. Wilken denied class certification on possible damages suffered by college athletes in past video games and TV broadcasts. The denial means that O'Bannon and Keller cannot sue on behalf of others like them, thereby greatly reducing the overall value of the claims. This is disappointing news for those players' attorneys, who have spent considerable resources on the case in hopes of gaining a sizable share of an award or settlement.
Interestingly, Wilken's rationale for denying class certification on video game damages was apparently not raised by the NCAA. Instead, it was a rationale that she -- or perhaps one of her law clerks -- realized: rosters in NCAA-licensed video games had smaller rosters than their real-life counterparts, so not everyone in O'Bannon's purported class belonged. To the chagrin of O'Bannon, her rationale for denying class certification on TV damages appeared to result from testimony provided by O'Bannon's own experts. They offered a study which claimed that compensating Division I men's basketball players on scholarships would have discouraged some from leaving early for the NBA draft. While that conclusion may be empirically true, the analysis was flawed for purposes of class certification: if some players had stayed in college, then the same number would not have received scholarships and therefore it's unclear who was hurt or helped by NCAA amateurism rules.

Another gown I made :) PICS!
Hi girls! So I started making bridal and pageant gowns on the side (my little sisters do pageants, so that's how I got involved). Anyways, here is a pick of my first client wearing her gown I made. It's made from silk satin faced chiffon, with knife pleats in the bodice, and the beading is solid crystal. The beadwork was inspired by a Pnina Tornai gown I loved. Just had to show you ladies!

Publishers Hope Wider Market Will Mean Better Profit Margins; Executives Ready to Serve Rapidly Rising Number of Young Readers
By HARRY GILROY ();
January 06, 1964,
, Section NATIONAL ECONOMIC REVIEW, Page 83, Column , words
The book publishing industry of the United States, centered in 100 New York companies, has a record sales income of $1.6 billion to show for its 1963 production. However, profit margins were generally narrow, so publishers face an expanding market in a cautious mood.

Ellen Andrea Wang
, the band also features drummer
Jon Audun Baar
, saxist
Harald Lassen
and trumpeter
Jonas Vemøy
. Combining indie-rock energy with the improvisational flexibility of jazz, Pixel are earthy and ethereal, wistful and agressive, sensuous and pummeling.
Pixel features the same classic, piano-less, 'modern jazz' quartet lineup of sax, trumpet, bass and drums as the epochal jazz quartets led by Ornette Coleman and Gerry Mulligan. Like these antecedents, the band takes full advantage of the harmonic freedom given by the lack of a chordal instrument, but Pixel is more interested in painting scenes than in setting up extended solos. With sharply etched compositions, Pixel has attained preternatural cohesion after two years together, moving seamlessly from composed passages to group improvisation marked by conversational interplay. A radical democracy, no one instrument stays in the foreground for long.With every track but one clocking well under five minutes, Pixel makes every note count, never wasting a moment or letting a tune wear out its welcome.
All four Pixels are ubiquitous on the fiercely creative Scandinavian jazz scene, which has embraced the quartet as an exemplar of Norway's populist cutting edge. Slated for a series of major festivals and showcases across the region and the UK in conjunction with the release of Reminder, Pixel is poised to take the jazz world by storm. Like similarly forward thinking groups such as The Bad Plus and Rob Mazurek's Chicago Underground, this is definitely jazz, but it's jazz that rock audiences can relate to.
Reminder is the debut release by the most exciting band to come out of the insanely active Norwegian jazz scene in recent memory. In a country where jazz talent seems to seep out through the tap water, that's saying a lot!

This weekend I went with a few friends to the "Kitchen", a restaurant in Chapel Hill. It is on my wish list on Urban Spoon so I thought it would be fun to give it a try. As usual I studied the menu before the adventure and narrowed it down to two menu items. The Chicken and Mushroom Gougere and the Penne Pasta with Shrimp. I had to look up "Gougere" because I had no idea what it meant. I thought maybe it was a cheese? I found on wikipedia that it is "savory choux pastry with cheese". Then I had to look up "choux" which just means a light pastry dough. Sounded good! So off we went to Kitchen....
The bar area.
They have a nice
beer and wine list.
the wall. I liked the one with
the fish drawing on the left.
and inviting.
Nice touch, like being in a kitchen,
a very nice kitchen:-)
Mushroom Gougere.
at the table had positive comments.
I loved the container.
All in all we had a great time at the Kitchen in Chapel Hill. I suggest you give it a try:-)
Get out and try a new restaurant. I recommend Kitchen in Chapel Hill.
Enjoy your world:-)

Original owner of escaped dog wants adoptive family to return it
DOVER, CRAVEN COUNTY - A Craven County woman is seeking to get her dog back after it escaped from her house. But the new owners aren't interested in returning the animal.
Kimberly Sutton, of Dover, owned Clyde, a white Chihuahua, for two years. While remodeling her home, the dog got out and did not return, Sutton said.
"I just want my dog back," Sutton told NewsChannel 12. "He's a part of my family."
Sutton said she reported the dog missing to Craven-Pamlico Animal Services Center. She was later notified that her dog was taken to a neighboring animal shelter in Lenoir County.
But at the Lenoir County SPCA, Sutton learned that her dog had been adopted by another family.
"They told me they only had to hold him for three days," Sutton said.
Legally, animal shelters in North Carolina must hold an animal in their care for 72 hours. After that, an animal becomes eligible for adoption.
"Please bring him home. It's like having a child and not knowing where he is," Sutton said.
Officials at the Lenoir County animal shelter said they reached out to the new adoptive family, but the family refused to give the dog back.
NewsChannel 12 spoke with the director of the Lenoir County shelter, Jerry Henderson, who said incidents like this are rare.
The center cares for more than 100 animals a month, and does its best to place these animals in good homes as fast as possible, Henderson said.
Sutton has been placing ads in the Kinston Free Press and the Sun Journal, asking the new adoptive parents to give Clyde back. If you would like to reach her, call (252) 717-6221.

We were very satisfied with the apartment, which was large, clean and very well equipped. The location is perfect. The host was helpful and offered to arrange the transport to the airport, which was very convenient. Some noise from the street in the nights, forced us to close the windows, but then it was silent. The internet connection was poor.

From the app you are near to Trastervere, the Pantheon, Campe Fiore and the piazza Navona. Perfectlocation to visit Rome!
Thanks, Hile,Els & Lien
The apartment at the Piazza San Paolo alla Regola is lying almost perfectly for visiting Rome. The Piazza is not too noisy and is close to both Campo de Fiori, the Roman Ghetto and Trastevere. And you will find a Coop not too far away either. We had good communication with host Paolo before and during our stay and much appreciated Paolo's reliability in this aspect. The apartment has a lot of charme and all necessities. 2 of the beds are mostly for children or at least younger people, though. We can only give Paolo and his nice apartment our best recommendations.
Everything was perfect! Paolo´s apartment is really nice, clean and very well located in the centre of Rome - all the interesting places are within walking distance.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The flat is nice and in the middle of everything. We enjoyed to be so close to Campo dei Fiori where we often enjoyed the evenings. The host was very helpful and booked us lift to/from airport, supported us with tips what to see and to do and umbrellas. Thank you for everything Paolo! We slept very well, but we where happy that the hottest days had been over. I think 40 degrees can't be managed by the mobile climate. Up to 30 was no problem.
Very nice apartment! Me and my family (7 persons) had a wonderful time in Rome, since we all could live together. The apartment was clean and tidy. Paolo helped us with Everything we asked for, like tranport from and to the Airport, recommendations and other small stuff. Very well situated, since it is walking distance to all the main sites. If we would need this many beds again, we will definitely live here again!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Everything was OK and comfortable easy handover.
What a perfect pick! We stayed for a weekend with 4 adults. And would come back any time.
The apartment is very large spanning 2 floors. Upstairs is a bedroom (Beds are perfect) and a bathroom and a nice balcony. Downstairs are bedroom, bathroom, large living room / dining room and kitchen. More than we needed. Just consider that the apartment is on the 4th floor (Penthouse) without a lift. Staircase is small and steep. The apartment was clean and well maintained. WiFi was good in all rooms.
The location of the apartment is awesome. Located directly at Ponte Sisto in the heart of Trastavere. Lots of Pubs, Bars and Restaurants nearby. All Tourist attractions (e.g. St Peter Square, Coloseum or the Pantheon are all about 20 min away by foot. We did not need any tram or Subway tickets.
Paolo was very friendly and helped us a lot. He organized a transport (95 EUR for the 4 of us to/from airport) and even helped us with an urgent print out we needed (our reserved vouchers for the coloseum arrived late by mail). Thanks again! No need to say that key transfer was perfect.
We would come back here next time. Perfect for 4.

The Inner Voice
Trusting one's one instincts whether for matters large or small is no easy task. It would seem that it would be natural, but in our logical world, nothing could be further from the truth. I have been using this method of living for over 25 years, and I realized that I had information that was given to me instinctively and in a few cases, I went with the logic over the instinct. Each time, I realized that my energy could have flowed smoother if I had paid attention to myself.
Then, a few days pass, and I find myself doing it again. Our society's values are so firmly ingrained that even when one knows better, it is still hard to completely change without the awareness always being present first.
It is important to live with the awareness of our own energy. I always remember to cleanse and protect my spirit because I don't like how I feel when I am upset and stewing and brewing about it. I remember to keep my own loving energy always turned on because when I shut it down, it feels painful to me. I have love flowing in and through me without an object to direct it to. I am loving because it feels good. Now I am making a conscious effort to follow my instincts always since it makes my life easier.
My instincts are not my emotions or impulses. Those are often reactions to things or people outside myself. It is good to go slowly and really figure out how it feels when one is emotional or impulsive so that when the instincts are providing information to us we can know the difference. Logic for me is based on a thought, but when my instincts are flowing, I just sense that this is what I should do or when an event will take place. If I let logic control me, I discount that sense and say, but it can't be because of some reason or other, which I later find out, changed for that moment. Logic has its place in taking care of business on Earth, but not always in the decisions that confront us.

You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News.
She was a respected authority on etiquette and chief of staff for Jackie Kennedy at the White House. Letitia Baldrige died this week at age 86. NPR's Karen Grigsby Bates, who co-authored a book on etiquette, has this appreciation.
KAREN GRIGSBY BATES, BYLINE: You could tell by Letitia Baldridge's voice that she was no-nonsense and would always get the job done. When I interviewed her in 2008 about how potential first ladies' fashion choices could be an asset or distraction to their husbands' political aspirations, she was frank about the constrictions they faced traditionally.
LETITIA BALDRIDGE: They have to buy the right kind of fabric. They have to be careful with colors. They have to be careful with decolletage, oh, and how. They've really got to follow stringent rules to be sort of blah - chic, elegant but blah.
BATES: She'd been listening to a lot of people complain that Michelle Obama was trying to be a Jackie Kennedy wannabe by making sleeveless dresses a trademark. As someone who knew Jackie Kennedy very, very well, she wanted to set the record straight.
BALDRIDGE: And I know everybody says she's the new Jacqueline Kennedy. I think that's ridiculous. She has her own sense of style. And Jackie wore sleeveless dresses all of her life because she knew she had good arms. And I'm sure that Michelle has been wearing sleeveless dresses all of her life, again, because she has good arms.
BATES: Straightforward, practical, that was Letitia Baldridge. Her dozen or so etiquette guides tended to focus on arming readers with knowledge that would make them comfortable in front of others. This is from the etiquette section of something called "Instant Genius, The Cheat Sheets of Culture."
BALDRIDGE: If you're feeling unsure about what flatware to select, steal a glance at the utensils other people at the table have chosen to use for that particular course.
BATES: And Baldridge wasn't afraid to laugh at herself a little to illustrate a point. When she learned to eat snails as a student in Paris, she eventually got the hang of it, but she told listeners, there was a learning curve.
BALDRIDGE: Of course, I managed to get the garlicky hot butter sauce all over the front of my dress. I was so mesmerized by the ritual of eating the snail. The aroma of strong garlic was overpowering. But this snail-eating baptism was one of the most pleasant experiences of my life.
BATES: Letitia Baldridge's ability to marry common sense with courtesy was the key to her success. It was also the inspiration for many of today's etiquette authors. When my co-author and I wrote an etiquette book for African-Americans, we often checked in with her books, which we found refreshingly frank and modern. Emily Yoffe, who writes the popular "Dear Prudence" columns for Slate and The Washington Post, says Baldridge made etiquette user-friendly for people who were often intimidated by it.
EMILY YOFFE: It was not about the right fork to use and being a snob. I think a lot of people have the idea that etiquette is about showing off your superior education or refinement.
BATES: Instead, Yoffe says, Baldridge did something different.
YOFFE: She emphasized so much that kind of thing is really not important. What's important is making people feel good and comfortable and welcome and not embarrassed.
BATES: The ability to make people comfortable, secure and welcome, Baldridge believed, was a critical social lubricant, whether you're in the White House, or your house. Letitia Baldridge died in a nursing facility not far from her Washington home. She's survived by her husband, son and daughter and seven grandchildren. And you can bet they write lovely thank you notes. Karen Grigsby Bates, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

I had labiaplasty 11 days ago and noticed a slice at the top where I think stitches were. Will it heal? (Photo)

Labiaplasty swelling and suture line separation
I had labiaplasty 11 days ago and noticed a slice at the top where I think stitches were. #Labiaplasty
That being said, it is not unheard of to need or want a small revision after plastic surgery, even including "closing" an area that has healed in a less than ideal manner. That could include what you're talking about, at least beased on the photos.
You should remain in contact with your plastic surgeon throughout the entire recovery period and then, at seeral months post-op (many people would recommend that you wait at least six months before making a decision on a revision) you can consider another procedure. Hopefully, things will have healed well enough so that you will not need or want that.
I hope that this helps and good luck,

Healing after labiaplasty
Patients that seek labiaplasty do so because of discomfort or excessive show of the labia minora between the labia majora. I have never had one complain that they did not like the irregularity of the contour. After the swelling decreases and the tissues feel softer, a fold or notch will not really be noticed by anyone but you. I believe that as time goes by, that this will become less of an issue. If your are concerned enough to need more information, then call or schedule a follow-up post-op check with your surgeon. Given more time, I would expect that it should become satisfactory. I like to see my post-op patients between 2 to 4 weeks after surgery to reassure them and answer questions. (Frequently the timing of the visits is dependent on how far away they live from my office and how convenient it is for them to come back for follow-up)

Accommodation and facilities:
Hotel is well located on Railay east - there is no beach there (rocky and muddy and not fit for swimming) but very close walk to railay west beach. Hotel is definitely getting a bit run down - looks a bit shabby overall. We stayed in a bungalow and it was very nice and clean, the bed was comfortable. The staff there were friendly and pleasant. The breakfast was nothing special but totally fine.

Accommodation and facilities:
We stayed in a wooden bungalow which was not altogether great. The bungalow is spacious and the aircon works really well. We are just used to a bit better hygiene and cleanliness. We were in the last bungalow at the top, next to the pathway at the end of the resort. We could not take nice pictures of the sunrise, as all we could see to the east was a scrap heap and debris which the resort did not even try to hide or keep neat. We had monkey visitors, which we don t mind. Anyavee was the third place we stayed in during our holiday, and they were the first to have coffee and tea service in the room, which we enjoyed. Their breakfast is buffet style and not bad.
Reservation service:
The Sawadee.com booking service works great! I actually made the booking at Anyavee via a different site/provider first, but they were just pathetic and I cancelled the booking. It went smoothly - like always - through Sawadee.com. I like the fact that all costs are calculated in your currency and shown as you make your payment so that there are no surprises later on.

We had a pleasant stay at Anyavee. It isn t as luxurious looking as the neighbouring hotels but our room (which seemed to be in the older section of the hotel) was clean and bug free. The bed was comfortable, we had plenty of hot water and the pool is lovely! I feel the dim lighting and dark wood furniture made the room look dingier and danker than it really was. The hotel staff were not particularly friendly but they attended to our needs promptly. I would say Anyavee is good value for money if you don t intend on speding copious amounts of time in your room.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
On paper, it seems as if Josh Hamilton would be a perfect fit for the Red Sox. He's a perennial All-Star who is coming off a season in which he shattered his career high in home runs (43) and won his third Silver Slugger award. He would immediately fill the massive hole in the lineup that was left when the Red Sox traded away Adrian Gonzalez last summer.
But as the old saying goes, games are not exactly won on paper.
When it comes to building teams, there are more than just past statistics that need to be considered. As is the case with all players, and in this one in particular, Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington needs to look at all the red flags that would come in signing Hamilton.
After the debacle that was the 2011 and 2012 seasons, one of the team's key factors should be the character and makeup of any acquisition. Hamilton is the exact opposite of the clubhouse culture that they need. Not only would a player with a history of substance abuse be a terrible addition to a team with a recent history of alcohol problems, but some of Hamilton's behavior is oddly similar to the three Red Sox players who were recently jettisoned away by the team. Bringing Hamilton to Massachusetts would be the wrong thing to do given his drug-abuse past.
Last July, when Hamilton was in the middle of a horrible slump he offered this quote as a reason why he had been struggling:
"I've been shown a lot of things over the past week," he said. "There's disobedience and there's obedience to God. I've been being disobedient. It may be a small thing to you, but it's a big thing to Him. There's consequences. It's like a father and a kid. There are disciplines."
Hamilton doesn't deserve to be jumped on because he is man of faith, but blaming your baseball struggles on someone other than themselves is not something that flies in Boston. Fans would jump over that quote in Boston and it would send Hamilton into an even bigger tailspin when he felt the wrath of the Fenway crowd. It is similar to what Adrian Gonzalez said at the end of the 2011 season when he blamed God for the Red Sox not making the playoffs. This team needs its players to be accountable in order to right the ship, and signing Hamilton would be another step in the wrong direction.
When Hamilton's hot, he is as good as any player in the game, but when he's struggling, it can be for a myriad of reasons. Last August, when he uttered the quote about his religion, there was another factor in his struggles. Hamilton had recently quit chewing tobacco and the result was a sudden drop in his performance. Rangers team president Nolan Ryan ripped Hamilton apart for choosing to quit in the middle of the stretch run as opposed to during the offseason. Late last year, Hamilton missed several games because of high caffeine consumption. This caused a vision problem that had been blamed as a reason for Hamilton's poor performance.
When the Red Sox won their first world championship in 2004, Curt Schilling was playing through a ruptured tendon in his leg. But with Hamilton, the slightest change in chewing tobacco or caffeine levels can affect his performance. The Red Sox need more of the former: players who aren't excuse makers. They put up or shut up. Dustin Pedroia is a perfect example of this. He played through a broken ring finger during meaningless games last year because he wanted to change the culture in the clubhouse. To truly change the culture, they will need players who are committed solely to winning and will take responsibility for poor play. Signing Josh Hamilton would just continue the cycle of questionable character which has caused this team to take a significant nosedive.

Chris Kelly to become grumpier old man with 500th NHL game
|11.07.11 at 12:07 pm ET
In the Bruins' media guide, Chris Kelly put that the one word he would use to describe himself is "grumpy."
Now, Kelly has yet to reveal that characteristic in his dealings with the media, but on Monday, he'll take one step toward being a grumpier old man. Monday's tilt with the Islanders will be the 500th game of Kelly's career.
"I didn't know it was 500. My dad actually reminded me yesterday," Kelly said Monday. "It's always nice to hit a milestone like that."
The soon-to-be 31-year-old is in his first full season with the Bruins. Acquired last February from the Senators in exchange for a second-round pick, Kelly fit in quickly with the Bruins' tight-knit group, so well, in fact, that when Mark Recchi retired, it was he and Andrew Ference who inherited the 'A.'
"He's wearing an 'A' because he's a good leader and also a very well-respected teammate," Claude Julien said Monday of Kelly. "He's got a lot of qualities that when we got him, we knew about. All he did was reinforce those."
In his career, Kelly has 80 goals and 108 assists for 188 points. He will center Benoit Pouliot and Jordan Caron Monday.

Given that Tria is the only home laser treatment. IPL home devices include Silkn', revington, philips lumea .. and many more. So, what is more effective, with less downsides, the Tria laser, or the other IPL home devices?
What is Better for Home Hair Removal Device, IPl or Laser?
Doctor Answers 4
Both Lasers and IPLs Work for Maintenance Home Hair Removal
Web reference: http://goldskincare.com/laser-hair-removal-nashville-tn/
Home laser hair removal
The fact is, the only lasers that will work for hair removal are medical devices. IPL. even a medical IPL, not a home IPL will not be effective for laser hair removal.
The lasers that have been evlauated as safest and most effective innpeer reviewed medical journals are the Alexandrite laser for light to medoum skin and the long pulsed nd yag for dark skin. Experienced and busy laser centers will have both of these lasers available. Complimentary tests spots can also be part of a consultation.
Do not waste your time or money with a home hair removal laser system.
Web reference: http://www.bluewaterspa.com/laser-hair-removal.html
Home Hair Removal Devices
There are several medical lasers including Alexandrite, diode and ND: Yag that are FDA approved with much medical data and many successfully treated patients to support their use. IPL is a fantastic device but less effective for hair removal than the other devices that I just mentioned. Devices sold for home use are not regulated or studied like the medical devices such as lasers. In addition, they are unlikely to produce enough power to destroy the hair follicles and actually may stimulate hair growth. Be careful...

Devices for home hair removal
In recent years, a number of devices have been developed to seek to provide patients with the ability to achieve hair removal at home. As their sales are not controlled by the FDA, the evidence behind these devices is limited to small, uncontrolled studies. The risk of eye injuries with improper use is also a real concern. So the answer is none of them are better for home hair removal.

A federal judge on Monday will consider reversing the nation's first and only federal jury verdict against a Kazaa user for distributing copyrighted music on a peer-to-peer network without the labels' authorization.
The outcome is likely to have wide-ranging implications in the Recording Industry Association of America's file-sharing litigation campaign –- 20,000 lawsuits and counting. Most cases have settled out of court for a few thousand dollars and had never broached the topic of whether the RIAA must prove copyright violations.
The RIAA claims that infringement on peer-to-peer networks is implied, and that it shouldn't have to provide proof — because it's impossible.
"Requiring proof of actual transfers would cripple efforts to enforce copyright owners' rights online – and would solely benefit those who seek to freeload off plaintiff's investment," said RIAA attorney Timothy Reynolds in a court filing (.pdf).
Whether actual proof is necessary will be debated in a Duluth, Minnesota federal courtroom Monday morning. (Threat Level will be there). The arguments will focus on the trial of Jammie Thomas, a Minnesota woman dinged $222,000 by a Duluth jury in October for having an open share folder on the Kazaa network.
Thomas had more than 1,000 songs in the folder, but the RIAA sued her over 24 tracks. The jury spent five minutes concluding her liability after a four-day trial.
U.S. District Judge Michael Davis, who presided over the case, now thinks he may have erred when he instructed the jury that actual proof of downloading was not necessary.
Davis had instructed (.pdf) the jury that the recording industry did not have to prove anybody else downloaded the songs from Thomas' open share folder. Davis told jurors they could find unauthorized distribution — copyright infringement — if Thomas was "making copyrighted sound recordings available" over a peer-to-peer network "regardless of whether actual distribution has been shown."
The judge, seven months after the jury returned its verdict, wrote in a brief order that he may have committed "manifest error of the law" and ordered Monday's hearing.
Since the RIAA's litigation campaign began five years ago, at least three judges have ruled against the RIAA on this point. Those rulings were in pretrial stages, and didn't necessarily kill the cases. The RIAA is exploring other legal theories.
Still, neither a federal appeals court nor the U.S. Supreme Court has decided the "making available" issue. (It should be noted that having an open share folder of child pornography counts as criminally distributing child porn, regardless if others download it.)
Digital rights groups and law professors have sided with Thomas.
They point out that the Copyright Act says a rights holder has the exclusive right "to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending." The Electronic Frontier Foundation, for example, wrote that the Copyright Act doesn't allow damages for "attempted" copyright infringement, and has urged the Thomas judge to demand the showing of an actual "transfer" of a copyrighted work.
The Motion Picture Association of America, the movie studios' lobbying arm, has urged the judge to side with the RIAA. The group, like the RIAA, says that it is impossible to detect actual infringement in the peer-to-peer context.
In the Thomas case and in the thousands of others, the RIAA sues after online detectives log onto Kazaa, Limewire and other file sharing services. They peer into open share folders, take screen shots of the music listed and download some of the songs. They also obtain IP addresses, which are easily determined on open networks.
With those addresses, the RIAA subpoenas internet service providers to cough up the identity of the account holder. The RIAA then sues the account holder, who usually settles out of court.
Still, it's technologically impossible for the RIAA to prove that others on the Kazaa network are downloading music directly from somebody else's share folder.
An interesting footnote to the discussion is whether Judge Davis would allow the 24 downloads the RIAA's detectives made from Thomas' share folder as evidence of unauthorized distribution.
One federal judge who has ruled that the RIAA must prove downloads also said in the same opinion that the downloads made by RIAA investigators count as evidence of unauthorized distribution. Digital rights groups say those downloads should not count against a defendant because the detectives were authorized by the music industry to make the downloads.
The Copyright Act allows damages of up to $150,000 per violation. Thomas and others are challenging the constitutionality of the measure, arguing that the damages are unconstitutionally excessive.

Pollard, the founder of the New Bibliography that dominated twentieth-century textual studies. Students of the history of the book, of Shakespeare, of bibliography, and of library science will find this a valuable resource.
PortraitJoseph Rosenblum teaches English at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and at Guilford College. He is the author of three previous books, including A Bibliographic History of the Book (Scarecrow, 1995).
PressestimmenThis collection of essays illuminates Greg's key role in the history of 20th-century bibliographic scholarship and makes available an important sampling of his theoretical writings and critical studies. AB Bookman's Weekly Most of his seminal papers are collected here, including "The Rationale of Copy-Text", "Bibliographical Analysis" and "What is Bibliography?" The Library Association Record Scarecrow Press ha[s] produced a well-bound and clearly-printed book...Greg's ideas in bibliography and textual editing are still relevant in our electronic age. Joseph Rosenblum's excellent tribute should be in every library collecting seminal works in the humanities.

We have a toiiet that is dated 1950 and still works but still flushes a 5 gallon amount. I would like to replace with a 1.6 flush using exiting 4" Cast Iron drain. There is about 2 to 3 feet of horizontal pipe. I was told by a person at the local plumbing store that I should not use the 1.6 flush because there is a small amount of water to wash the solids in the horizontal area. He said in due time it would cause problems due to backup.
Can you help on this matter?
Thanks in advance.
