p.rehbein: "That isn't what I said at all. Why do people insist in misrepresenting what others say? What is the point? Who on earth cannot understand that every person is a distinctly different individual, and their stories are just as different. One may be a store clerk, another a brain surgen, another a sailor, another a commercial fisherman, and on, and on. We are all distinctly different individuals, and we all have different stories of our lives. God calls us all as He wishes to call us, and for the purpose He has determined for us. We are not "clones" or "cookie cutter" beings. Why is that so hard to understand? Why try to make something out of a simple statement? I do not understand it................."Wait a minute, you say you "do not understand it," yet, God has "determined" a purpose for you.In case our "guests," as you refer, do not know the meaning of "determined for us," let me enlighten them."Determinism" refers to any philosophy that teaches that EVERY event, including human decisions and acts,is ultimately determined or caused by an outside, all-controlling force.To understand where p.rehbein is coming from in his comment, "he has determined for us" one must be familiar withthe teaching of John Calvin's FIRST crucial tenet that determinism is this: God is the ultimate CAUSE of everythingthat happens.Note p. rehbein comment: "God calls us all as He wishes to call us, and for the purpose He has determined for us."Those who follow the teaching of John Calvin believe that "Men can accomplish nothing except by God's sacred command, ...they cannot by deliberating accomplish anything except what he has already decreedwith himself and 'determines' by his secret direction (Institutes of the Christian Religion, Ixviii. 1).Calvin says, "The internal affection of men are no less ruled by the hand of God than their external actions are preceded by His eternal decree; and moreover,...God performs not by the hands of men the things which Hehas decreed, without first working in their hearts the very will which precedes the acts they are to perform"("Secret Providence," 243, John Calvin).This is the very reason p.rehbein and the Reformer believes that he is "saved" in his heart.You see, this deadly doctrine leaves man with no choice. Why? well, he has been predetermined and predestined by God...Makes no difference if you have a love for God or not. Makes no difference to "first seekthe kingdom of God and his righteousness" as Jesus said in Matthew 6:33.Those who teach "determinism" as p.rehbein, that IF God has not already "elected" you, and manipulatedyour "heart" to believe,.... you will forever be "lost."This is why "water baptism" is seen as a "ritual" to the "determinist."In their scholarly minds it is a joke to believe that water baptism could be "for the remission of sins" (Acts 2:38) believing in their "heart" that God was the force behind their being saved in the first cause!The determinist believes God has regenerated them (miraculously) from Adam's sin by causing them to have "faith alone." Thus God must in the final analysis be the ultimate cause ofthe sinner's participation in salvation at every step.If man does not work himself out of this deadly doctrine...he will forever be wondering if he was "elected" by the "determined" counsel of God.....Feeling saved in ones heart,... is purely subjective.
We who put our trust (belief) in the scripture that God says will bring us salvation as Gentiles and Jews today are the only ones who will be raised spiritually.So when our physical body perishes (dies) our spiritual body will be risen when ever Jesus Christ returns to get his Messianic (Christian) Community.Below when it says immersed it actually means baptized with the Holy Spirit.1Co 15:28 Now when everything has been subjected to the Son, then he will subject himself to God, who subjected everything to him; so that God may be everything in everyone. 1Co 15:29 Were it otherwise, what would the people accomplish who are immersed on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not actually raised, why are people immersed for them? Your physical body dies but if you are one who have put your trust in God and live according to his will with the Holy Spirit in you then you spirit will be risen.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I'm training for the VLM this April and I'm about unsure as to how I should be pacing on the day.
In my training I've been starting off the first 5 or so miles fairly slowly and then gradually speeding up over the distance (more based on feel than planned that way), and had the following times for some of my training runs:
12miles - 1h44
16miles - 2h30
18miles - 2h45
20miles - 3h00
I've finished all of these feeling fairly strong, with the last couple of miles at a quicker pace than the rest of the run, feeling like I could push the pace a little. I've been doing all my long runs in the 'shades' marathon training program - I've got my second 20miler this weekend and then start the taper. I've not done enough interval work, but have done hill repeats for the last month or more, once a week.
As background, i'm not a 'club runner' at all, but i've done a couple of marathons a few years ago (both in fancy dress so in 4h20+), lots of halfs and 10ks in the past, a few triathlongs etc - but for all of these my training is been haphazard at best! I'm 36years old.
My questions are what pace should I run for the marathon? i'm thinking I want to break 4h for the event and I'm confident i can do that - but could I go quicker than that? and if so how much quicker? and therefore what pace should I be targetting? I'm just unsure how my training paces at the long run can translate into a marathon time.
thanks in advance guys!
that should read 'triathlons' above... triathlong isn't a new type of event...
why dont you aim for the sub 4, say 9mm pace and if you feel good at 20, go faster?
firstly, I'd be careful to not race your long runs; the point of these is to runa steady, even pace and teach your body to burn fat optimally, to give you time on your feet, to strengthen your connective tissues and improve your aerobic endurance.
however, assuming your were still running these long runs at a conversational pace (i.e. able to hold pretty much a full conversation throughout the run, not just panting out the odd word) then it's feasible that you could continue the pace you averaged on your 20 miler for a further 6 miles, it'll just feel a LOT harder as you get closer to the end.
Pip's advice is sound, go out at the ~9min mile pace (your 20 mile long run pace) and if you're still comfortable at 20 miles into the race, increase the pace/effort very slightly throughout these last 6 miles.
If you go out even slightly too fast at the start, the wheels could come off and you'll lose a lot more time than you gained.
great advice guys, many thanks.
I kind of thought I might be paying too much attention to the timing on my long runs, but wasn't 100% sure... sounds like I just need to back off a little on these and then aim for 9mm, and then take a check at mile 20 to see how my body is feeling.
Appreciate it!
good luck, let us know how you get on. I'm also aiming for sub4. My long runs have all been between 10-11 min/mile pace, usually starting off at the slow end, and gradually speeding up ever so slightly to the faster end of that range. I do some portions of some long runs at marathon pace also, but not all of them.
I'm in a similar position to the original poster. I've been running 3 times a week for 5 years now and always been a decent runner, light on my feet. Last autumn I ran two half marathons in 1:36 and 1:33 - both much, much faster than I'd been running usually – race day magic I thought.
I put those times into the ASICS marathon plan and got 3:22. I've been training at the suggested pace (which is quite fast - I know a few people here think they're mad) and all seemed well (4:50 min/km) until last weekend's 35km - I hit the wall at 30km and the last 5km were quite painful – I finished in 2:57. Couldn't imagine doing another 7km like that.
"Race day magic" seemed to mean I could run 30 seconds a mile faster for a half marathon. But what does the adrenalin add to a marathon? Or is the race so long that it's actually a liability and could mean you hit the wall earlier?
Sorry if I'm burbling

» Print Recipe
Tandoori curry paste:
For the tandoori paste, toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a frying pan until fragrant. Tip into a pestle and mortar and grind into a powder. Mix in all the other ingredients and stir until you have a smooth paste.
Heat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6. Place the halibut fillets on a plate. Mix the curry paste with the olive oil and sugar. Add all but 3–4 tbsp of the yogurt and stir well. Coat the halibut fillets with the spiced yogurt mixture and set aside.
Cut the cucumbers lengthways, using a swivel vegetable peeler, into long wide strips, avoiding the seeds in the middle. Mix with the 3–4 tbsp yogurt and chopped mint and lime juice to taste.
Heat an ovenproof pan over a medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. When hot, place the halibut fillets in the pan, scraping off and reserving the excess marinade. Sear for 1–1 1/2 minutes each side until golden brown.
Spoon the reserved marinade over the fish and place the pan in the oven for a few minutes to finish cooking the fish. Transfer to warm plates and drizzle over the pan juices. Scatter the spinach leaves around the fish and serve with the cucumber salad.
Sautéed potatoes with turmeric and black mustard seeds:
Cut the potatoes into 1 cm thick slices. Boil in salted water for 6 minutes until just tender. Drain well then pat dry between sheets of kitchen paper.
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the potato slices and sprinkle over the turmeric. Toss to coat in the turmeric then season with salt and pepper. Fry for about 3 minutes on each side until lightly golden.
Sprinkle over the mustard seeds then add the butter. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes, tossing and turning the potatoes, until golden and crisp at the edges. Serve immediately.

So I know there are chemicals out there that take care of wax moths, but what are some other solutions.
I heard that if you take the drawn honey comb supers and stand them on end the wax moth wont get to them because of fresh air.
Any other ideas?

Well first I arrived in Copenhagen on Wednesday August the 15th 2007, the first day of my trip. I started as a typical tourist visiting typical tourist sites of Copenhagen, hopefully the rest of my journey wouldn't be so typical. This included taking photos of the famous Little Mermaid statue which I have to mention is called"Little" Mermaid because it's tiny! Then onwards to Christiania, founded in 1971 on an abandon military barracks by a bunch of hippies as a semi-independent nation, this meant for a long time you could by drugs openly on the street even in shops like a candy drug store and they made there own laws. But lately there has been a big police crack down. But anyway it's a strange and wonderful place and well worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood. Maybe also one place you could never call typical.

none on the Sussex coast
Jelly fish are common off the Irish south coast and at Dover at the moment.
The white ones (Moon Jellies) are generally harmless, although they may feel unpleseant to swim through.
The blue and orange/tan/brown ones (Blue and Lion's Main) are less common and they are the ones that sting from threads that can be a metre or so long. The stings are painful in a similar way to nettles but are gone within about 10 min unless you are one of the very few unluky ones who have an allergic reaction to them.
I've been swimming with all three types all week and have been stung a dozen or so times. Honestly they are nothing to fear.
There are some more dangerous types of jellies but they tend to prefer more tropical water and to my knowledge none have been seen around the UK coastline this year.
ye, cougie, similar sightings on Crosby & Waterloo beaches. Utterly beached, or do they survive, courtesy of the next tide?
I was swimming off Tenby on Monday (that's 7 days ago) the sea was dead calm and toasty warm. The first time around the bay I saw none. The second time around I was solo, and saw about half a dozen. Some brown ones about 6" across, and some bright pink/purple ones 8" across with 4 identifiable round cells in them. Very pretty, but....
Last year in Sicily I got stung by a small one that left a permanent burn mark on my arm like a tattoo for 2 weeks. It hurt for several days. Needless to say I don't like them.
My girlfriend was swimming at the weekend and I counted over 30 stings on her after she'd been for a swim. These were brown ones.
YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND???????????? Sorry to hear about those 30 stings onn your right hand...
I think that I'll be wearing a full wetsuit when I swim in an area with jellyfish.
I most certainly will NOT be wearing a wetsuit. If you think that brushes with jelly fish are bad, wait until you get one down insid your wetsuit and can't get it out again. I've seen it happen
on the bright side, apparently it's a sign of clean water.
Large pink/purple ones in the med, really hurt. I reacted badly to it, but there again the imprint of the thing did cover the whole shoulder blade area and the worst bit were the threads that went down the spine from above the bra strap area to lower back. Never left a beach so quick to get to medical help.
Tips I have heard are that vinegar on a small one takes the sting away, so nip to the beach café and use it. If no vinegar and in an quiet place, pee on it or get someone else to pee on it dependant on where the blighter stings you.
I can only vouch for the vinegar cure to be worth trying on a small one, but it must be done within 15 minutes or so.
Blisters, I found that the vinegar worked OK, but when I got back to the apartment at the end of the day I did the anthisan and anti histamine tablet for the small one.
The large sting involved a steroid based cream and anti histamine tablets for a week.
Some people can have bad reactions to jelly fish, but generally you are better off leaving the sting alone. The tendrils leave behind on your skin lots of little capsules containing the irritant. The capsules are very weak and can break easily. If you are in the water then they will break and be washed away. If you rub or scratch the sting then you will be bursting the capules and rubbing them into your skin, making it worse.

Florida health officials are encouraging the state's residents not to be alarmed following another death from the flesh-eating bacteria Vibrio vulnificus. The rare bacteria that thrives in saltwater has killed 10 people in Florida this year, while 31 people in all have been infected with the bacteria there. According to health officials, people can be infected by eating raw, tainted shellfish or when warm seawater comes in contact with an open an wound. However, Diane Holm, a state health department representative in Lee County said people should not panic over the bacteria. "This is nothing abnormal. We don't believe there is any greater risk for someone to swim in the Gulf [of Mexico] today than there was yesterday or 10 years ago," Holm told the Associated Press. Vibrio vulnificus is a member of the same family of bacteria that cause cholera. Symptoms of infection can include diarrhea, extreme abdominal pain and vomiting. If the bacteria enter the bloodstream, symptoms can worsen to include fever, blistering and lowered blood pressure, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

Perfect!I have blemish prone, but very sensitive, allergy prone combination skin as well. This product does an excellent cleansing the face gently, yet thoroughly-no makeup residue. My face feels clean, healthy, and soft, but not dry. It works better than more expensive brands. It is fragrance-free, color-free, irritant-free, and they do not engage in animal testing. I don't know what could improve this--I really love it. — 5 years, 2 months agoThorne | 456 reviews

Great cleanser for blemish prone skinThis is probably one of the best cleansers I have tried for blemish prone skin. It does contain triclosan, which some say is controversial, but she goes through the research assuaging any fears about using that product and describes its antibacterial properties in helping fight acne. It does not strip skin of oils which will in turn make your skin even oilier, but definitely leaves it clean without a filmy feeling. — 4 years, 6 months agomossywoods | 16 reviews

text: I say there are zero (0) percent chance this Reds team makes the playoffs. Why? Because when first place is on the line they simply fold. They were in first place before going to San Diego the worst team in the NL. They got sweep. You can say what you want but they choked. They were .5 ame out coming into this series with the Brew Crew and have lost the first 2 and might aswell say they will lose this last ame aswell. Anytime the Reds have a chance to get into or add to their lead in first place they choke and fold. Simple if the Reds are say 6 to 7 games out of first place and play the first place team they at least take 2 out of 3 from them but as soon as the games mean something the Reds choke. I wish it were different but the facts are above and proven. Maybe they can change later in the year and play good when the games mean something but who knows. But heres :beerme: to hoping they do.

Low Fat Low Calorie Cottage Cheese Cheesecake
Categories: Dessert, Healthy Recipe's, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
Submitted by: Jen Trudel
- Difficulty: Easy
- Cook Time: 30 mins
- Prep Time: 20 mins
- Ready In: 1-2 hours
- Serves: 12
*3/4 Cup nonfat cottage cheese
*2/3 cup nonfat Greek Plain yogurt
* 1 TBS flour
* 2 TBS sugar (or can sub in stevia)
* 1/4 tsp salt
*4 egglands best egg whites
*Juice from 1/2 a lemon
*1/2 cup assorted fresh berries (I used bluberries,strawberries and blackberries)
*1/4 tsp almond extract
PRE-Heat Oven for 350 degrees
1. Place all ingredients except for egg whites in the blender or food processor and whip until the batter is smooth.
2. Now add the egg whites and give it a few pulses.
3. Finally, add the fruits and gently mix them in with a spoon. Do NOT blend!
4. Spray the bottom of your pan with some cooking spray.
5. Pour the batter in.
6. Place the pan into your oven which should be set at 350 degrees. The suggested time for cooking is around 30 minutes but check frequently to make sure the cheesecake does not brown or dry out.
7. When done, serve either super hot straight out of the oven or chilled in the fridge. Enjoy!
I used nonfat everything so that also contributed to the texture a lot. I read that if you use lowfat cottage cheese and yogurt, the consistency will be less crumbly.
I was very surprised, but the taste was delicious even though it did not have the same stickiness and density of a real cheesecake!

so let me get this straight...you think the cost will go down?? How about refusal of servce for those that cannot afford it...or better yet, how about a national heath care system ran by the government in the form of government clinics. Where the wait is long, the service is subpar, but its free and paid for by the poeple with jobs. You want free heath care, go to the free clinic. You want good heath care? Get a job. All those doctors that get sued for screwing with the real people should be forced to work the gov clinic as part of their punishment. Or you could have the buttholes that read shit on the internet and think they know more than a doctor...or you could just have a computer that people look their own problems up in the office instead of a doctor.

The loss of a loved one is never easy. It matters little whether the deceased lived a full and happy life or whether they died peacefully in their sleep — those who loved them will still grieve.
The way we view life and our personal belief in what death brings differs for all, but one thing is certain — at some time in each of our lives, grief will come.
When a friend loses someone close to them, we may not know what should be said or done to comfort them. The following are some suggestions that grief counselors provide for ways to best support others in times of sorrow.
First, acknowledge the loss. Never try to ignore the proverbial elephant in the room — ask the mourning friend how she is coping and invite her to share her feelings. Yes, this may bring on tears — but sadness is expected and crying is a healthy part of the grieving process.
If your friend does start to cry, do not hand her a box of tissue. In support groups they call this "the shut-up box" because handing a weeping friend a box of tissue tends to send the message of "Stop crying — you are making me uncomfortable."
If your friend sees that you are accepting of her pain, it will allow her to begin to recognize and release the stress and fear that often surrounds the death of a loved one.
Losing someone close can affect a spouse, partner or family member in a multitude of ways — both emotionally and financially. If your friend has financial concerns as a result of the loss, help her by first recognizing and acknowledging the fear and then help her seek ways to address the concern.
Writing down the fears will get them out in the open. When we shine light on fear, it becomes less scary.
If the financial anxieties are real, help your friend make plans to address them. Does she need to speak with her lawyer or accountant? Does she need to review her budget and personal finances — perhaps make some adjustments?
Surprisingly, saying "I know how you feel" may not be as helpful as we think and in some cases can alienate your friend. Although you may fully believe you understand the depths of her sorrow, if your friend feels you are insincere, she may withdraw and feel further isolated.
Remember that everyone deals with grief differently. One child may become enraged over the death of a parent while another hardly sheds a tear. Never judge how someone behaves when they are grief-stricken. Some may lash out at you while others can become confused and withdrawn. Some people function fine, organizing services and helping others cope; only later do they surrender to their sadness.
Finally, recognition of grief is not complete without a reflection on Lord Tennyson's poem "The Way of the Soul," which includes, "I feel it when I sorrow most; it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all."

Even as secretive as the video game industry can be, it is almost impossible to keep a new project under wraps, and now a job posting for BioWare Austin may have spilled the beans on a potential new MMO from the studio.
The job posting is for a Lead Server Software Engineer based out of BioWare's Austin, Texas location, the same studio that works on BioWare's existing MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.
"BioWare is seeking a qualified Senior Lead Server Engineer for a new, unannounced BioWare IP," the job posting says. "This role will direct a team of software engineers to create the backend systems that will drive online play for this exciting new game."
Under the required skills listed for the position, BioWare said that it is looking for someone with "architectural expertise in designing distributed simulation systems, particularly in an MMO or similar online context," which suggests that the new hire will be developing the servers used to run an MMO.
How new is new?
While the job posting describes the upcoming game as a "new, unannounced BioWare IP," it is hard to believe that the studio would create an MMO with an entirely new IP.
First of all, the MMO market is already notoriously difficult to break into, and Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft sits on a throne of skulls made from dozens of so-called "WoW Killers." Selling a new IP is hard enough without the additional burden of making it an MMO.
It has also been quite some time since BioWare actually created an entirely new IP. In fact, the studio has not released a new IP since 2009's Dragon Age: Origins.
If BioWare is actually making an MMO from one of its existing IPs, the studio has a few great options to choose from, including both the Dragon Age franchise and the Mass Effect franchise, both of which could make an easy transition into an MMO.
Of course, taking an IP everyone likes and shoehorning it into an MMO does not guarantee success, as The Elder Scrolls Online has proven, but hopefully BioWare will have learned from its experience with The Old Republic, both where it went right and where it went wrong.

Over at the Get Rich Slowly Blog J.D. Roth writes a lot about personal finance, including some reviews about personal finance books.
One of his latest reviews is of the book The Incredible Secret Money Machine by Don Lancaster. Although the book is now 30-years old, being published in 1978, the book still has some fantastic and relevant tips.
The book is about starting and running a small business. It isn't a book about earning millions, but rather a book about earning a comfortable income doing something that you enjoy doing.
The book states that to build a "money making machine" is to stay true to four basic principles:
- You have to be heavily into a technical or craft trip on a total lifestyle basis
- You must want to stay in control
- Your income goals should be just enough to keep going
- Be gentle
There are other tips that he shares for building a money machine:
- Have as many different sources of income as possible
- Have complementary sources of income
- Deal directly with the customer
- Work toward deferred income
- Know the difference between cold cash, imaginary money, and megabucks
- Separate frugality from stupidity
- Avoid psychic energy sinks
J.D. Roth comes to the following conclusion about the book:
Some of the advice in The Incredible Secret Money Machine now seems quaint, 30 years after the book was published. The author's "hip" language and many of his examples are outdated. But smart readers can extrapolate, and still learn a lot. You have to be able to read Lancaster's advice on letterhead, for example, and think of it as advice for web sites.
Although Lancaster believes that you must be into your money machine on a total lifestyle basis, I'm not sure that's true. I think you can have a part-time money machine. A full-time money machine will be more profitable, of course, but a part-time money machine is a great way to start.
You can read his full review on his blog: Get Rich Slowly – personal finance that makes cents – The Incredible Money Making Machine.

A diamond ring, wedding rumours and a lovesong in which he imagines having a child with Australian star Nicole Kidman.
The media images and remnants of rocker Lenny Kravitz's very public failed relationship with Kidman are taunting ones.
And his latest album, Baptism, provides no escape.
On it, the 40-year-old wild man has written a song - Lady - about how he would have turned his life around for her.
But just over six months down the track and with plans to make it to Australia some time soon, all Kravitz can say about things with "our Nic" is that they're "good friends".
The pair dated briefly last year after Kidman rented Kravitz's vacant New York loft while filming The Stepford Wives.
Rumours were rife that they were headed down the aisle, and gained added momentum when Kidman was seen wearing a diamond ring.
But the relationship ended in December amid rumours Kravitz had been dating other women.
On Lady, an upbeat lovesong, Kravitz sings: "Never knew there was such a lady that would make me want to straighten out my life at this time but I find I'm thinkin 'bout this little lady".
"I would love for her to have my baby cause you know she's no fool".
"She's refined. I Know she's a super lady."
In a phone interview from Miami, Kravitz told AAP: "The song pretty much says it."
"It is written about her (Kidman), you know."
He wasn't keen on talking about the relationship, but added, "We are great friends, great friends."
Recording Baptism was like making his first album again, Kravitz said.
"It is about my rebirth and just about accepting myself, you know," he said.
"My life comes out in the music, that is the way it always is. It is a reaction to what I grew up with in my life."
The album was released nationally in May and the single California will hit record stores this month.
Kravitz, who grew up in Brooklyn with journalist father Sy Kravitz and mother actor Roxie Roker, became a household name in the 1990s with hits such as American Woman, Are You Gonna Go My Way?, Believe, Heaven Help and Fly Away.
He has won four Grammy Awards and has recently been exploring acting opportunities.
Kravitz has two films in the pipeline. The first is by independent director Ash, called The BBC - The Blind Bastards Club.
In it, he plays a blind man.
"My point is not to act. It's just to be there," he said.
His other film project is one he has written himself with echoes of his own life.
"It is about growing up between two different cultures, between a black American and Jewish culture," he said.
But Kravitz has no intention of giving up music for acting altogether.
"I love all the different mediums," he said.
"As long as its being creative, I'm happy."
And Kravitz is hoping to venture downunder with a tour some time soon.
"We have gotten some indications that the promoters want to put it (a tour) together and whatnot so we will see when we do it but I will definitely be into that."

Nicholas Volpenhein, a project manager with Volpenhein Brothers Electric in Cincinnati, came upon this icy installation, although it was not his company's doing. "This is what happens when you forget to seal a conduit in a freezer," he says.
What's wrong with this picture? NEC 300.7, Raceways Exposed to Different Temperatures (A) Sealing, states: "Where portions of a cable raceway or sleeve are known to be subjected to different temperatures and where condensation is known to be a problem, as in cold storage areas of buildings or where passing from the interior to the exterior of a building, the raceway or sleeve shall be filled with an approved material to prevent the circulation of warm air to a colder section of the raceway or sleeve. An explosionproof seal shall not be required for this purpose."

15 Of Princess Beatrice's Craziest Hats [PHOTOS]
Princess Beatrice's eccentric taste in millinery has been talked about since before William and Catherine's royal wedding. Playah please, the fallopian-tube-toilet-seat-pretzel was just one of many silly-looking hats to come out of Bea's princess-sized closet(s).
Milliner Philip Treacy, whose made several hats and fascinator for the Queen's granddaughter, came to her defense after that day.
"She is only 22 and there was a little bit of bullying going on. I didn't give a f*** about 140,000 bloggers," Treacy told the Observer. "In the future, we'll look back and think she looked wild."
The irish designer described his client as a "beautiful, exotic, Victorian doll."

Its summer who wants to spend the days inside a stuffy, smelly gym? Instead, get together with your family or friends and have fun outdoors doing activities that burn calories and fat while building strengthening and toning muscles.
These 5 outdoor activities are great exercises that will give you a great work out as well as let you have fun and soon youll be showing off those lean, sexy muscles!
Continue reading this article here => 5 Outdoor Exercise Ideas To Build Muscles & Torch Fat This Summer!
Step 1
1. Stand Up Paddle Boarding
This is a newer sport, also called stand up paddle surfing, and its a fantastic way to get a workout on the water and you dont have to wait for the perfect wave!
Boards for beginners are a bit longer and wider than regular surfboards, so its easier to balance on them. Youll get a killer workout on your legs and core muscles, and even more so when you add in the paddling!
Step 2
2. Open Water Swimming
Why on earth would you want to spend your time at the public pool, trying to swim laps around hoards of screaming children?
Instead, head for the nearest lake, ocean or river and start swimming. Youll burn just as many (if not more) calories, but theres no chlorine smell and plenty of room and no screaming kids!
Step 3
3. Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a form of martial arts that originally developed in China as a form of self defense. However, its now used more as a type of moving meditation, quite similar to yoga.
Studies have shown that it helps reduce stress and depression, reduce body aches and pains, and improve balance and coordination. Like yoga, it burns about 100 calories per hour.
Step 4
4. Rock Climbing
Rock climbing in an amazing full body exercise, offering resistance training that builds muscles and endurance. It burns as much as 748 calories per hour.
Step 5
5. Surfing
Head to the beach and hit the waves in this exercise that will work out every muscle in your body! Tones muscles and arms while you paddle out, strengthen your core as you balance, and really work your thighs and calves as you stand on a moving surfboard. Needless to say, its also an excellent cardio workout that can burn fat in the same way that interval training does.

State will keep DST
The state Senate Public Affairs Committee voted Friday to table a bill, sponsored by Sen. Cliff Pirtle, R-Roswell, that would have exempted New Mexico from observing daylight saving time.
Pirtle said the U.S. government allows each state to exempt itself from daylight saving time, and SB559 "does just that."
"This bill, either you love it or hate it," he told the committee.
[auth] He said recent studies have shown that people use more energy during daylight saving time, such as air conditioning in the middle of the afternoon.
"This is the only green bill I can support," he quipped.
Committee member Craig Brandt, R-Rio Rancho, co-sponsored Pirtle's bill.
"I hate daylight saving time," Brandt said dryly. "I hate it with a passion."
He said people are more likely to have accidents during daylight saving time, due to changing sleep cycles. Also, he said, the state is "blessed to have so much sun" and having enough sunlight is not a problem.
"Daylight saving time is no longer necessary," he said.
Committee member Sen. Gay Kernan, R-Hobbs, voted in favor of tabling. She said if it were to pass and Texas continued to observe, then there would be a two-hour difference between the two states, creating inconvenience.
"I just think it creates too many problems for industries along the east side of the state," she said. "It just seems very confusing when we opt out of things other parts of the country are doing."

Europe Strikes Back!: It Ain't Quiet Tuesday
Looks like it was too quiet after all. It seems like the market is waking up to the fact that the Greek debt swap deal isn't exactly done and dusted. European banks are getting battered. Greek two-year debt is sharply lower, ahead of Thursday when the debt swap is supposed to conclude.
U.S. stocks aren't immune either, as worries about global growth are also on the March after China's lowered its growth target to 7.5%, signaling that the era of China's super-charged growth might be coming to an end.
To that point we see both Alcoa and Caterpillar continuing to get kicked in the teeth stateside. Growth concerns are also weighing on crude oil, which is off 1.4%.
All in, it adds up to an ugly day. The Dow is down 1.1%. The S&P is lower by 1.3%.

If this is done, I think the original post and the author response should go live together. I do not think blog syn should have to run a method, ask the original group what they think, take pointers, try again, and then make a first post so to speak with pointers from the authors. If this is truly a vetting of important procedures, shouldn't the procedure as written in the SI be tested on its own with amendments added later? I realize that could seem a bit vindictive but it may also globally improve the state of SIs if people know their original procedure can be validated (or not, as the case may be) using the words as written with all amendments noted after the fact. I'm a big fan of testing methods and global improvements in SI. firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363010844248093609.post-73082555716114032272013-03-01T12:12:27.647-08:002013-03-01T12:12:27.647-08:00any chance i can get my last name removed there? a...any chance i can get my last name removed there? firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363010844248093609.post-55788982481566272342013-03-01T02:38:05.142-08:002013-03-01T02:38:05.142-08:00Aaron - Thanks for the constructive feedback.

as an overarching point while i appreciate the full and non-vitriolic response from baran and his lab, this should be more cautionary than redemptive. get it right the first time. and second time, and third time.
on a separate note, i agree with baran that the experimentalists should have a reasonable time to respond; for better or worse, blog-syn in its early stages is a tribunal, so should hear the case of the defendant before passing judgement to the internet people.

I'll rerun proton with H2O and D2O tomorrow and see how it turns out. I have noticed some differences, namely splitting patterns. I'm also doing a couple runs with 4-bromotoluene per Prof. Baran's comments. Tried these reactions about 5 months ago and failed, so I have somewhat of a vested interest in this.

Thanks a lot for doing this and bringing attention to the issue of reproducibility.

I have one suggestion. Given you do not write now posts on a reaction but rather update the existing one, would it be possible to somehow indicate the updated parts? Perhaps, some kind of color variations or nested "update boxes". A label like "version 3, 28/02/13" at the beginning would be also useful.Alex Zhhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363010844248093609.post-54253398478714064462013-02-26T16:31:01.422-08:002013-02-26T16:31:01.422-08:00What does the vapor pressure of 2-methylnaphthalen...What does the vapor pressure of 2-methylnaphthalene need to be in order to be entirely volatilized 150 degrees below it's boiling point? Does it sublime? Does anyone really have an oil bath deep enough to run a 200 mL reaction like this? Ironically, this may work better on more complex substrates, like Baran's student suggested, both because they're more soluble in DMSO, and they're less likely to vaporize, but most people wouldn't be willing to try because it didn't work in the model system.

The prep for IBX reminds me a lot of making dibutylboron triflate. You needed a crazy strong vacuum, because you started to see impurities come in at higher distillation temps. That meant a well maintained pump, and using copious amounts of teflon grease and clamps to seal the (massive) apparatus. The good stuff was water white and froze at ~-10C, but most people couldn't get there. email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363010844248093609.post-89318204489351349782013-02-26T16:19:06.696-08:002013-02-26T16:19:06.696-08:00Thank you for the input.

Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 4537-4538) but-as this blog is a testament to-the real procedure is slightly modified:

IBX (>99%, 1HNMR, EA)

2-iodobenzoic acid (5.0 g, 0.20 mol) was added to an aqueous solution of Oxone (37.2 g, 0.061 mol, 3 eq, 200 mL) in a 0.5 L flask. The suspension was set to 70 °C (internal temperature). Care must be taken to keep the internal temperature below 72 °C. The suspension was stirred for 2 hours then removed from the oil bath and cooled slowly to room temperature. Once at room temperature the flask was cooled to 0 °C for 1 hour by an ice bath. The solid formed was filtered, washed four times with 100 mL of ice cold water, then washed two times with 100 mL of acetone. The resulting solid was dried under vacuum to provide IBX.

Key details: -unlike the paper reports, the reaction is not complete in 1 hour and you should stir for 2-2.5 hours
 -even slightly elevated temperature (75 degrees or so) produces byproducts

I've scaled that up to 50g with the same purity of IBX obtained on all occasions. IBX made this way was also used by Anon 9:37 and his coworker successfully.

Titanic director finds Jesus' grave
Cameron claims the coffins of Jesus Christ and his family have been found at a burial cave in a Jerusalem suburb.
New Delhi: Titanic director James Cameron and Simcha Jacobovici of Exodus fame have produced a documentary which they claim is about to rock the very foundation of Christianity.
Cameron claims the coffins of Jesus Christ and his family have been found at a burial cave in a suburb of Jerusalem, adding that the discovery means Jesus did not rise from the grave - a popular Christian belief, also called the Resurrection.
The 2,000-year-old cave in the Jerusalem suburb of Talpiyot was discovered during construction of an industrial park 27 years ago.
The directors are going to unveil the coffins - which apparently held the remains of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene - for the first time in New York on Monday.
They claim to have put together DNA and archaeological evidence, as well as evidence found in biblical studies proving the coffins belong to Jesus and his family.
The cave in which the coffins were placed was discovered three decades ago by by internationally renowned Israeli archaeologist Professor Amos Kloner.
The film by Cameron and Jacobovici depict the years of discovery and research. It also claims Jesus sired a child with Mary Magdalene - a fact that was also revealed in Dan Brown's bestselling fiction novel, The Da Vinci Code.
After its debut in New York, the documentary, titled The Lost Tomb of Christ will be shown on the international Discovery Channel, Canada's Vision, Channel 4 in Britain and Channel 8 in Israel.

As the diagnoses of Asperger's Syndrome continue to rise, it is becoming imperative for friends and family of loved ones diagnosed with this condition to try out a multitude treatment methods. There are a wide range of possible treatments available which normally fall within two categories: biomedical treatments and non medical interventions. Biomedical treatments are any treatments that focus on the improving the physical body while non medical interventions include a wide range of services such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, interventions, and behavior modification.
Todd Cardin has been writing social scripts and stories for children affected by Asperger's Disorder for years. Social scripting is a technique that has been used for decades for the treatment of Asperger's and Autism with very positive results. In order to fully understand how social scripting is beneficial to these children, a person must understand that normal characteristics of the condition.
Asperger's Syndrome & Todd Cardin's Introduction to Social Scripting
Asperger's was first identified by Hans Asperger in the 1940s when he noticed that a group of boys were displaying autism-like behaviors but had no cognitive or language developmental delays. It was not until fifty years later that Asperger's Syndrome stopped being referred to as "high functioning Autism" and instead was recognized as its own condition by the American Psychiatric Association. The major difference between the two conditions is that children with Asperger's have no speech delay. These individuals are also of above average or average intelligence levels.
Todd Cardin began working on social scripting techniques after learning that children diagnosed with this Syndrome were often not happy with the state of their social interactions. Where as many autistic children are fine with being alone and aloof from other people, children with Asperger's often yearn for the social interaction but are unable or unsure of how to be successful in their interaction attempts with others.
This is why assessment of behaviors is important during developmental screenings for conditions such as these. There may be no obvious signs of a problem except the odd or awkward interactions between the child and others. In some cases there are motor development problems such as when a child is unsure of how to hold parts of the body or has problems with walking.
In order to be diagnosed with the condition, a child must show impairment in social interaction, social communication, and social imagination. They must also have problems with using the imagination and lack a flexible way of thinking. There is an absence of any and all significant cognitive development delays. Children will also lack a delay in language development. Todd Cardin understands how important it is to perform social scripting that is focused on aiding the social problem areas.

Then there was the bridge. With no notice, a bridge over a river in the country north of Minneapolis was closed for construction. I approached the bridge anyway thinking I might be able to cross as I am on a bike, but alas, the bridge was gone. Just, gone. Looked to have been a large bridge as well.
Fun fact, all heavy machinery is left unlocked when no construction workers are present
The Bunkhouse is world renown as one of the premier bike hostels in the world. The proprietor, Donn Olson turned one of his barns into a free cyclist lodge complete with TV, sofas, bedrooms, showers, kitchenette, and food for very, very cheap. I share the bunkhouse this evening with three older people, all of whom are heading east as well, but at a bit slower pace. They let me take photos of their maps through Michigan, however, for which I am incredibly grateful.
I must confess that since this trip began, I have fantasized about something. I had a very relaxing moment watching a live performance of the Doors on Marlene and Kevin's incredible couch in Tacoma before I left. I have often thought about that time on the road, and have wanted nothing more than to sit on a couch and watch TV. Tonight is my first night with that opportunity, and so I sit here watching a 70's Batman movie with a frozen pizza and some beers. Tonight is a good night.

DANCING on Ice judge Jason Gardiner was yesterday helping police in their hunt for two youths who mugged him at knifepoint.
Jason wrote on Twitter: "I was mugged by two hooded black youths who held a knife to my throat and threatened to kill me, all for my iPhone. Apart from being shaken I'm fine.
"I'm saddened more than anything and disgusted with where society is heading."
The robbers approached the 40-year-old to steal his phone on Sunday night.
Last night, a spokesman for Jason said the star talked to police yesterday, giving descriptions of the robbers – who struck in Stockwell, South London – in an attempt to catch them.
He added: "He is lying low today, he is still very shaken but otherwise he is OK."

Austin City Limits Festival 2014 Lineup Includes Eminem, OutKast & More
Veteran rappers Eminem and OutKast will headline the 13th annual Austin City Limits Festival in Texas this October.
Veteran rappers Eminem and OutKast will headline the 13th annual Austin City Limits Festival in Texas this October.
Some of the biggest names in hip-hop and R&B are among the nominees for the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, announced today (April 9).
When it comes to lyrical diss-a-thons Eminem is not the one to play with. Throughout his career, the Detroit spitfire has taken unapologetic shots at every celebrity in pop culture. During his chat with Power 106's Big Boy, Em reveals that he wanted to throw lyrical darts at Kanye West and Lil Wayne.
With so many people on Twitter these days, it has become the vehicle for us to voice our thoughts, ideas and shameless plugs -- in 140 characters, of course. And many rappers and singers have used it to air their own laundry, set the record straight or start some beef with another artist. But have you ever wondered how they first stepped into the world of Twitter?
After announcing their upcoming Monster Tour on Twitter, Eminem and Rihanna have now released dates and cities for their U.S. stadium trek.

Make meatloaf in a mug
Dear Sara:
I have made cake in a mug and coffee cup scrambled eggs. Do you have any similar recipes? Love your column in the local newspaper. Keep up the good work. — Carolyn H., email
Dear Carolyn:
Try meatloaf in a mug. Scale down your usual meatloaf recipe by using only 1/4 lb. ground beef and use about 2 tablespoons of milk instead of egg to hold whatever you use to bind the meat (oatmeal, bread, crackers or bread crumbs, for example). Cook in the microwave until the meat is no longer pink, approximately five minutes. I recommend using a meat thermometer. Everyone likes their meatloaf differently, so if you'd like an exact recipe, please visit myrecipes.com/recipe/meatloaf-a-mug-10000001830704/. The recipe uses 1 lb. ground beef and makes four individual servings, which is nice. It calls for an egg and a splash of vegetable juice, too.
Dear Sara:
When you use dishwashing liquid for spots on clothes, do you use hot water? Also, can you use it on a spot that's been on there for a long time? — Cathy, email
Dear Cathy:
You can use Original blue Dawn dishwashing liquid, Dawn Power Dissolver (spray cleaner) or shampoo to remove grease stains. I have used it on old grease stains on my son's cotton T-shirts with great results. I use warm or hot water if the fabric allows it.
Dear Sara:
I read your article in the paper about cupcakes and you mentioned attaching balloon ribbon to the liners to make the cupcakes look like a dozen balloons. Where would I find these directions? — Diane J., email
Dear Diane:
You can arrange your baked and frosted cupcakes to resemble a bunch of balloons. Place the cupcakes on a piece of posterboard, which serves as the background, too. Simply tape a 1-foot length of curling ribbon to the bottom of each cupcake liner. Then gather and tie all of the ribbons at the end using a wide ribbon and a separate bow, which makes it easier to untie and serve each guest. For large numbers of cupcakes, it's not necessary to attach a piece of ribbon to each cupcake. You can simply add ribbon to a few toward the bottom and it will still look like a bunch of balloons.
Dear Sara:
I know a person who is selling three Wagner cast-iron skillets and a Dutch oven for $100. Is this a good deal, or should I look elsewhere? — Linda, West Virginia
Dear Linda:
It depends on what you want. Typically, if the cost for a used set is less than you would pay for brand new, it's a decent deal. With patience and a bit of luck, you can piece together a great set of cast-iron pans from flea markets or garage and estate sales. It's not impossible to find good deals on new cast-iron sets; in fact, Tractor Supply Company had a set on sale for $49.99 recently. Finding vintage Wagner ware is a bit more difficult. Not all cast iron is made equally, so take that into consideration before you make a purchase. There are a lot of cast-iron fans out there. I prefer stainless steel or my Le Creuset ware (enameled cast iron) and don't think I'd use cast-iron skillets daily.

In the battle against time, we've tried nearly every anti-aging product out there—and nothing beats this sophisticated moisturizer. Powerful enough to go head to head with our deepest lines and wrinkles, it uses a unique microalgae compound to spur the cellular renewal process. And unlike harsh retinoids, it won't irritate skin and is gentle enough to wear during the day. Formulated for all skin types, it leaves skin firm and glowing. Who can argue with that?
I was elated to find this in my box. I've been actively searching for a new eye cream, and thought I was happy with my long time anti-aging face cream. But after reading about this online, I thought I'd give it a try. Now I'm hooked! Once I fall in love with a product, I don't easy sway. I'm a loyal follower. Yet I really love the rich texture of this moisturizer. I have combination skin, and this was not too greasy. My skin felt wonderful in the mornings after using it. Thank you! I may try their eye cream now!5
This moisturizer is such a treat! Just a little goes a long way and I can tell the difference on the look and softness of my face the next morning. I would buy in a heart beat but the price is a bit of splurge. Will need to save a bit here and there to purchase in the near future.5
this is by far one of my favorite products i have been able try with birch box i am in love with the way my skin feels right now. it feels and looks more even and healthier even my friends have pointed it out and i am quick to tell them that its because of Algenist. thank you so much for such a amazing product5

This past week, the Kentucky House of Representatives spent much of its time focusing on two important groups: Our children and our farmers.
On Wednesday, for example, the full chamber voted to make viewing child pornography a crime, a move that would close a loophole that has made it tougher to prosecute pedophiles who don't actually possess the images they view on the internet but don't keep.
Nothing gives spring's arrival away better than the ever-growing thorn in all drivers' sides.
When I think of spring, I generally think of things that make me happy.
For example, with spring comes warmer weather, outside events, volleyball, warmer weather, getting a tan, volleyball and the always enjoyed... warmer weather.
In a small rural community like ours, the farms tend to shine and the scenery, for the most part, looks similar to pictures you might see in a magazine.
With every stitch, Mary Ann Upton remembers. Five years ago, she watched her newborn grandson fight for his life. He was born with a heart defect that lead to open heart surgery when he was only three days old. In the midst of all the worry and pain, the local chapter of Project Linus brought the baby a blanket.
"It's put up now," said the grandmother of five. "One day, maybe he'll take it out and tell the story to his children. It really meant a lot. Hospitals can be so cold and impersonal. What Project Linus did was so good."
A Healing Prayer service will be held March 4 t 3 p.m. at Helena United Methodist Church, 6481 Helena Rd, Rte. 324 off Hwy 11, Mays Lick, Ky.
Everyone is invited to come and experience a time of music and prayerful fellowship.

If I were God, I would've made people with delay devices on their mouths or a filter of some kind.
For example, when your brain wants to say, "Poodles aren't real dogs," before it comes out of your mouth the delay device would kick in and send you a message: "Really? Is that really what you want to say in front of this group of people who may or may not include poodle owners?"

None of the 15 students on board were injured. They were transferred to another bus to complete the route.
Information regarding the driver of a truck that hit the bus in the rear is not available at this time. However, a passenger was transported by Brown Ambulance Service to Harrison Memorial Hospital.
