I had high hopes for this week. For one thing, I've stepped up my workouts, moving from 45 minutes or so of cardio and strength training 4 times a week to 60 minutes of cardio, followed by strength training. It feels good, and I FEEL more toned, but the darn dial isn't budging. Now, I know muscle weighs more than fat, but I also know that I'm not building quite enough muscle to account for the paralyzed dial. I'd like to think muscle is the reason for my lack of scale progress, but I'd be fooling myself. I've also tried to consciously drink less wine–mostly saving my 2 nightly glasses (and the occasional dirty martini) for weekends, which actually hasn't been tough at all. But still–no dice on the digits. I have so much knowledge now–I know it's not about numbers, I know that 12 measly pounds (the amount I'd like to lose to get to my goal weight of 135 by my wedding) should not make a difference in my happiness. I know that the important thing is to listen to my body, keep at it, enjoy my workouts, and put these meaningless numbers out of my head. And yet. I'm frustrated! Help! I need advice, encouragement and support! I'm stuck in a scale obsessed mindset and I can't get out–help me get back on a pleasurable track!

The so-called "broken plurals" of Arabic and Ethiopic are really singular collectives employed to denote the plural.
Ethiopic, or Abyssinian, is derived from the Samaritan, or Phœnician.
In the latter edition, the Greek and Latin fragments are printed together with the Ethiopic.
The Gothic and Ethiopic versions exclude a part of the canonical books.
An Ethiopic version of the whole Bible exists in the ancient dialect of Axum.
The Ethiopic omits a canonical book and includes an apocryphal book.
The book was then lost sight of till 1773, when Bruce discovered the Ethiopic version in Abyssinia.
The Ethiopic saint is nothing inferior to his western brethren.
The Latin Version, of which about one-fourth has been preserved, is where it exists of almost equal value with the Ethiopic.
The Ethiopic version, instead of "in those days," renders the expression in the thirty-ninth verse of 1st chap.

Yesterday Josh Fruhlinger posted about iMacs and Mac minis coming later this month ... or maybe TOMORROW? and this morning we wake up to find the Apple store shut down for updating.
Maybe we'll finally find out if those new Mac Mini rumors we were talking about last month were true.
An update to coincide with the first day of CeBIT? Is this a first for Apple?

CRD Liberty ownership
My Father in law is giving us a 2007 CRD 2.8L I4 Liberty in 13 months (hes buying out my mother in laws Ram 1500 when her lease is up and giving us the jeep).
I was doing som research and found on Wikipedia that they banned the sale of this jeep in some states due to new diesel regulations. WTF?
"Only available in 2005 and 2006 for the Sport and Limited models, the 2.8L VM Motori CRD has since been discontinued due to stricter 2007 United States diesel emission standards. Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, and California had already banned sale of the vehicle due to their rigid state emissions regulations. "
The next thing. The jeep has about 60k miles. Apparently it had a CEL on from the day it was driven home but he never though to do anything about it. Since then its had the EGR replaced, then the "mixer"? then after it was out of warranty it had the turbo replaced (but because of recurring issues it was covered under warranty) then just recently it had the egr replaced again.
If nothing else goes wrong with this thing before we get it which i am sure it will, what do i need to be worried about once we own it? We are selling my wifes 02 dodge stratus once we get it and this needs to be a reliable DD for her (commuting 30 miles a day). Although we wont have a loan payment on this, is it still going to cost us a ton of money to keep it running?
What do i need to do to keep this a good vehicle before she ends up trading it in because of lack of reliability?
Im also planning on ditching the terrible GY Wrangler ST tires and getting some nice 225/75/16 AT tries for it. this is for my wife so its not going to get any mods or bigger tires, not even the 235/70/17.
Either Cooper Discoverer AT3, Discoverer ATP or the Hancook Dynapro ATM. Probably getting the AT3, I love the looks and reviews and im hoping to get them for my WK this spring.
i do have a set of 15x7 Cherokee 5 spoke Steelies that im going to use with studded winter tires for her for the winter commute.
Re: CRD Liberty ownership
lots of good reading on that jeep over here http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f28/
Re: CRD Liberty ownership
Go Here! http://www.lostjeeps.com
Read up on the CRD on the "Liberty CRD: Love that Torque" forum.
This group has all the info and knowledge that you need.
You need it 'cause the US Dealers are hopeless with the diesel for the most part. If you can evaluate the CRD's sometimes quirky behavior, and avoid the dealer's shop, it will serve you well.:thumbsup:
I had mine for 6 years, a great little tractor, never needed a mechanical repair. By the way, if it is in the US, it will be an '05 or '06.
Re: CRD Liberty ownership
Thanks for the info guys. I just registered with LOST and starting asking away! LOL

This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.

December 21, 2011 - Last Day In The Hospital
The day started out with the packing, and then I had to make the first run over to the house. The bed was being delivered and I needed to be there to receive it, and to make sure it was set up both correctly, and in the right place. The guys from Healthy Back were very professional and had it done in less than an hour. That was great, as far as I was concerned because I still needed to finish with Jason's room. Jason was feeling a little tired today, as yesterday was a particularly busy day for him. I guess it was better that way, since I was gone for most of the time, and he was able to just sleep. He did have one visitor, one of his old EOD buddies, and that made me feel better about taking off.
Once we finally got out of the hospital (after a pretty good tutorial on what I was going to be doing for Jason) we headed over to the house. We got into the house and did some unpacking, then I asked Jason to attempt the chair/recliner. He got into the chair with little difficulty, and he was generally comfortable. This was a good thing, as I was concerned about wheelchair time, and how that tended to be a little uncomfortable when he was in the chair too long. The challenge was getting back to his wheelchair, from the recliner. It was a big effort for Jason, and he did it, though he said it was going to take a bunch more practice before he did it well.
We had soup for dinner, as we both just wanted to something simple and quick. It was fortunate for us that the Blue Star Moms and Furnishing Hope (food and furniture) had the house set up for us. We need to finish getting the house in order tomorrow, as well as we need to get Jason over to the hospital for his first appointment as an out patient! Pretty cool!!
Jason is sleeping now, and I am going to bed in just a few minutes. Thank you, all for all your support through this journey. I set out to track it with this blog, and now it looks like this first chapter (book?) is done. I will still be making entries to the blog, though I don't know how often right now. Please let me know if this is something you'd like me to continue, or if you've all had enough. God bless you all, and thank you again.

So happy for you guys. I know Jason will be successful with his challenges regarding furniture, new moves and muscles.ReplyDelete
Did you get a Christmas tree yet?
My vote is to continue with the blog!! Chapter Two starts tomorrow :-) Besides, it's an honor to be part of Team Jason as a Prayer Warrior. The blog is helpful to focus prayer.
If you can, will you take and post some pics of Jason with his wife and daughters and the entire Ross Clan at Christmas?? That would be so great to see.
Prayers continuing! Hugs to all.
Going to see Linda and the little ones tomorrow.

I just discovered this blog and am catching up...i think it is awesome!! please don't stop now as this is a new chapter in the story and i am anxious to read how it all goesReplyDelete
What a great day for you Jason. Finally out of the hospital and now officially an out-patient, yahoo! I hope you have a good night sleep tonight in your new home. I have enjoyed reading your blog immensely and would love to have you share the next chapter with us. Enjoy each of these special moments of being out of the hospital, the arrival of the girls, Linda and Bridgette.ReplyDelete
This is wonderful! Am so happy for you!ReplyDelete

Please don't stop writing this blog. I have been reading it since day 1.ReplyDelete

I vote to continue the blog!! I have been reading the blog daily since the beginning. Jason and you are so inspirational. You both bring hope and joy to me daily.ReplyDelete
You hit the nail on the head when you wrote, the end of chapter 1 of the book. I wholeheartedly agree with the other comments posted. I receive the blog by email daily which is a day behind. If I can't read it on a computer then I read it on my phone. The point is I forward yesterday's blog with a message to the people who signed the cards I brought in October. They are happy to hear Jason and you are out of the hospital and the family will be together.
Those of us reading the blog have an emotional connection to your family even if we have never met you and you them. It is as if we are all friends even if we have not met. We care about what happens to all of you in the future.
There is not one person whom I have told about Jason and shown the blog,and the Victor Juhasz drawings and comments that have not been moved to do something for the wounded warriors. Recently, the brother of my coworker, the one who was in Somalia, visited our office. The brother is a a goalkeeper for an Major League Soccer team in San Jose. He raised funds for the Navy Seal Foundation by auctioning his goalkeepr gloves and cleats. The commander of seal team six setup a meeting with the families and the seals here. I told the brother about Jason, showed him the blog,the drawings and he started to cry. Between the visit with the seals and Jason's story, his reaction was to call the league office and tell them we are not doing enough and he offered to me to do anything we needed for our WWP event in March as well. He will carry the story to many more.
You and your family's willingness to share your story has paid dividends in bringing awareness of our Wounded Warriors and their needs. It has moved many to raise funds to assist. You have done a great service for all Wounded Warriors.
We definitely want to see pictures of everyone together for Christmas and the house. We want to read Chapter Two. I myself will always wonder what happened next.
AS Anonymous, Jason and you are so inspirational. Merry Christmas to all of the Ross Family!

Hi Ross Clan,ReplyDelete
"Praise the Lord" for all His blessings upon you. I am so excited for you that you are now in your home. Praying for Bridgette and the girls that they will be with you soon. What a joyous Christmas for the Ross family. George, please continue with the blog if you can. I have been reading it since day 1 and it makes me feel connected to Jason and the family. Continuing to pray for your complete healing.

I also agree with all the others about keeping the blog going. I have been reading it from day one myself. I too would wonder how Jason and all of you are doing. I feel like I know you even though we haven't met.
I am so happy for all of you. This journey is moving forward and you will be with your family soon. Merry Christmas to all.

We read your blog every day so we vote for you to continue it too! I know readers of our own family blog link to it, so it's a real connection for us all to have with our servicemen and their families. Your blog keeps it real for us all. At the same time, we know it's tiring to sit down every night and do an entry when you probably just want to crash, so we appreciate it all the more. Even the uneventful days are interesting and informative. We haven't met you either but we are with you in spirit and wish you every blessing!ReplyDelete

We, at Furnishing Hope, are delighted that Jason and you are enjoying your new furniture. We hope Jason continues to use the recliner as a new test for his strength and agility; in due time, his transfer will be in a flash.
From the Furnishing Hope family to yours, have a great holiday!

Poker and US International Relations
We all know that Donald Trump (Pres.) is a shrewd and street-smart business wheeler-dealer. And we also know that bluffing and bullying are essential tools of street business… as well as poker. However, for these tools to work successfully, they must be accompanied by a clear vision and specific objectives. Otherwise, they soon spend themselves out and lose their effectiveness.

What if there was a book that had no words in it? What if this book that required a camera, a TV and a video game console in order for you to "read" it? Would you call this progress? Would you call it science fiction?
Sony calls it the Wonderbook and has enlisted Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling to write some spells for the first Wonderbook, the Book of Spells. It is — and, come on, this is cool — a way to simulate the concept of the magical book.
You don't really read Wonderbook. You interact with it, while seated on the floor or with the book on a coffee table. You don't look at the book. You look at the TV. You hold a PlayStation Move wand controller in your hand to "touch" the pages. It's weird, but it's also clever. It probably wouldn't be a great way to ready any Joyce or Dostoevsky or even any of Rowling's real books. But for those of us who are fascinated by crazy contraptions and/or would like to feel as if we own at least one book that has creatures living in its pages, this one's for us.
Our video up top gives you the tour. Wonderbook and its debut title, Book of Spells, will be out later this fall....

I had mine done on October 2009 and when I woke up from my surgery the first thing I said was.... I'm skinny! They took 9 inches off of my hips and shaped my abs. Wow! Well worth it. I kept it off for 2 years and last week I had inner thighs done with the smart lipo triplex. 3,000 for the inner thigh but I'm still swollen down to my foot. I would say find the best doctor in town.... READ MORE

State Farm has cornered the largest chunk of the car insurance market, and because of that, it can accommodate a large range of customers -- often including those with spotty driving records. Though rates may be slightly higher than competitors', customers say helpful, personable agents make the price worth it. State Farm's army of local agents can be a double-edged sword, however -- a bad one can mean a bad overall experience.Pros
High satisfaction with agents. State Farm receives fair or good marks in customer surveys of satisfaction with claims. Customers report satisfactory interaction with agents and generally smooth repair and settlement processes, but average experiences with appraisals and the rental-car process. Though State Farm maintains a list of approved repair shops that meet certain performance standards, customers may also select their own. State Farm does not require the use of parts manufactured by the original vehicle manufacturer during repairs; that cuts costs of repairs, but some claim that third-party parts are sometimes inferior. Coverage for rental-car reimbursement is available.
Rates tend to the high side. Customers report average satisfaction with State Farm's premiums. Rates tend to be higher than those of some of the other largest auto insurers, some reviewers say, but many insist the prices are warranted by prompt, personable customer service. Others say quality of service can vary depending on local agents. The company gets high marks for a smooth shopping experience, plan flexibility and a wide range of discounts, which include lower rates for good students, safe drivers and multiple policies. Policyholders may report claims 24 hours a day.

Hollywood pushes higher grade of film, TV stoners
By Alex Dobuzinskis
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Marijuana is not just for dopes anymore, at least not in Hollywood.
Thirty years after comedians Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong popularized the myth of stoners as amiable goofballs in "Up In Smoke," film and television producers are instead portraying pot smokers as regular folks from all walks of life.
On TV, there is "Weeds," which became a hit on cable network Showtime following its 2005 debut. It revolves around a widowed mom who deals dope to make ends meet.
Among movies, the "Harold & Kumar" movies center on a stoner investment banker and medical school candidate. In the art-house film "The Wackness," Sir Ben Kingsley plays a pot-smoking psychiatrist and, in the upcoming comedy "Pineapple Express," Seth Rogen portrays a sky-high legal process server.
Some culture watchers say these new portrayals promote use of the illegal drug use among children, while the film and TV producers argue they simply reflect a change in society.
Many say these relatively recent depictions would have been harder to present in the past with U.S. administrations backing the "war on drugs" that dates to the early 1970s, including the Reagan White House's "Just Say No" campaign of the 1980s.
"Political climates and cultural climates kind of go together. That was a more conservative era in lots of ways," said Bruce Mirken, spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project which advocates decriminalization of the drug.
A 2005 study by California-based Rand Corp found government's anti-drug campaign had not led to "substantial decreases in the severity of America's drug-related problems." Continued...

Filming Completed on "Fifty Shades of Grey"
Getting one step closer to fans, "Fifty Shades of Grey" wrapped filming in Vancouver this week.
Announcing the news to eager followers, author E L James wrote of the steamy film adaptation of her novel starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, "And that's a wrap..."
Later, she shared a photo of herself and director Sam Taylor-Johnson celebrating the accomplishment with the caption, "One of us is drinking... It's a wrap."
Unfortunately, moviegoers have a long wait until they can see the final R-rated product. "Fifty Shades of Grey" is scheduled to hit theaters on Valentine's Day next year.

What is the best way for us to be talking about climate change? From November 6-9, 2013, experts from as far afield as Australia gathered at Fort Baker in Sausalito, California, to share ideas on this important question. The event, which was hosted by the Institute at the Golden Gate, focused on how we can best inform, educate and empower people on this complex topic. The answer from many of the 140 participants was to make the climate story personal and place-based. How is climate change affecting us locally in our own lives? What are we already seeing and experiencing?
Many of the presenters and panelists--from authors like Jonah Sachs and Mark Hertsgaard, to academics, researchers, journalists, teachers, educators and park rangers--spoke about the value of telling real stories rooted in place. Many participants shared their personal experiences with climate change - whether it was an extreme weather event or a change in growing seasons. Since the Institute's mission is to make parks and other public spaces part of the answer, we were particularly interested to learn more from park rangers and interpreters about the changes they're already seeing in their parks.
What's your climate story?

Air Force drug probe expands
WASHINGTON (AP) — An Air Force investigation into alleged drug use in the ranks has expanded to include 10 officers at six bases in the U.S. and Britain.
Air Force Lt. Col. Brett Ashworth says nine lieutenants and one captain are being investigated for illegal possession of recreational drugs. He said the case began with the investigation of two officers at Edwards Air Force Base in California and expanded based on their contacts with others.

Hi all.
Please allow me to be part of your forum!
I've ordered a brand new 520d M Sport Business Edition and will pick it up on Tuesday 29th September 2009.
My missus has had a few 320 for company cars, which I love to drive so I've gone for the 520 model (got a great price due to the model change next year)
The reason I found this forum was looking for answer for the following, I'll add them below but I'll also add them to the relevant forums.
(I've live in Newcastle Upon Tyne)
1) - Can I get the engine remapped, its currently 177 bhp, what could I expect.
2) - Any specialist insurers for BMW's
Cheers Mally

"Neat idea! Something so simple that pretty much anyone can do it, with no previous experience necessary. This is great for youth group crafts and other young people groups. Also great for selling at craft fairs. Jersey tees would make such a luscious infinity scarf! I'd love to do a mixed media DIY and add a pompom trim that I have seen at Joann Fabrics."
"I love that there is a video and I will certainly make this tote. I wish more people would add a video. It helps to visualize the instructions much better than photographs."
"I have to have this as a wall hanging for my kitchen. I'd also make one for use as a pillow. What a cute looking gift idea, the pair of these. Maybe even whip up a set of coffee coasters- the pattern can be found either on this website or the crochet website. I keep coming across them."
"Jazzing up an old cotton blanket or a plain solid color toss pillow would be great to do by adding these lovely crocheted flowers in three different sizes and designs. This is just one idea on how to make use of these. The yarn looks like it could be Red Heart or Caron. Stunning in black and white, don't you think? It would give it a more modern edge."

- 1 sheet 285 lb. Susan Scheewe watercolor paper, size 8 1/2 x 11 (by Martin/F. Weber)
- Watercolors: Susan Scheewe Cadmium Yellow, Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue
- Watercolor brushes: A large flat and a large #5 or #6 round ( I used Susan Scheewe brand)
- Water container
- Paper towels
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Scotch tape or white glue
- Divided styrofoam plate with at least 3 sections
- Coarse sea salt
- Can of spray acrylic sealer (I used Krylon brand Matte Finish #1311)
- Sharpie Fine Point and Ultrafine Point Permanent Markers (I used black, but other colors could be used)
- Dampen one side of the watercolor paper with the large flat brush. Now turn the paper over and wet the other side. Let dry. This helps to "flatten" the paper in preparation for the watercolor.
- Create individual washes of Cadmium Yellow, Alizarin Crimson and Ultramarine Blue by placing each color into the individual sections of the divided styrofoam plate. Add water to each color and stir to make a wash. Be sure to have strong pigment in each wash for a bold and bright box!
- Rewet one side of the paper with the large flat brush - be sure all areas are "shiny wet". With the round brush, immediately drop some Cadmium Yellow wash randomly on the wet paper and watch it spread. Clean the brush and immediately pick up some Alizarin Crimson wash and drop it onto the paper - continue with the Ultramarine Blue wash.
- You will notice that the colors blend and form other secondary colors. While the paper is still wet, sprinkle the coarse sea salt all over the colorful paper.
- Let the paper dry completely before removing the salt.
- Now turn the paper over and repeat the colorful process. This is a great time to stop and view the beautiful patterns that the watercolors and the salt have created. If you like these designs, call the project finished! However, sometimes it is fun to continue creating patterns with the Fine Point Sharpie Marker by outlining some of the different colored shapes. Another idea is to use the Ultrafine Point Sharpie Marker and create fun imaginative mini designs within the larger patterns. Whatever you decide, the idea is to have fun with color and design.
- Now seal the watercolor paper with the spray acrylic sealer on both sides of the paper. This keeps the watercolor from "moving" if it should become damp. Be sure to spray outdoors to avoid fumes.
- The design can now be matted and framed, or turned into a box by following the next set of directions.
- Measure in 2 1/2" from the edge of each side and draw lines parallel to each side.
- Using the scissors, cut the flaps.
- Fold each side up using the ruler for a straight edge.
- This photo shows the two styles of boxes:
Design with markers used to outline large colored shapes and extra design pattern embellishments within the large shapes.
Design with salt patterns only.
- Use white glue or tape to fasten the sides. I used pinch clothespins to hold the sides together while the glue dried.
Your boxes are complete!Of course, you can add glitter, beads, fringe and all kinds of other embellishments to make your watercolor box even more bright and beautiful! Now you are all ready to use your boxes and put all sorts of things in them from pencils and pens to jewelry - have fun!

Out of the .NET framework 4.0 comes many great enhancements, the ADO.NET entity framework (ADO.NET EF) is among the top. The framework has improved upon some of the previous bugs (in version 1), as well as enhanced the API, including many new LINQ-to-SQL-like improvements. We're going to examine using these API features to create a generic version of of a data repository.
The entity framework has some handy methods for working against its data model generically. The designer, by default, generates a model representing the database (though it's doesn't have to be a 1 to 1 mapping). Each table is represented by an ObjectSet, which in turn has methods to create, update, or reflect on the entity and its relationships. The framework uses an entity key, a value that looks like EntitySet=Customers;CustomerID=4, to uniquely identify an entity and its identifier within the model. Using the entity key provides us a way to update objects, query an object from the database, and more.
Let's begin by looking at a sample repository base class implementation. I'm going to examine the base CRUD operations separately, starting with create and update options.
Our BaseRepository class uses the ObjectContext (created on each request with the CreateContext method) to add new objects with the AddObject method or update existing objects by using the AttachTo method. For creating an object, we need to know which type of method to update. Using our helper GetFullEntitySetName method handles this magnificently. This returns the identifier of the object (a value like DotNetSamplesObjectContext.Customers) to identify the entity to add to.
For updating an object, we run into issues with the context. Each object queried from the database is tracked by the ObjectContext in the ObjectStateManager. The MVC binding process actually constructs its own copy of the object and injects the form values into it via reflection. This means we have a new object, not attached to the ObjectContext.
Not really a big problem, we first need to query the old record. This generates an ObjectStateEntry for our entity, and we can successfully perform the update (since it needs to know what the old record was). The entity requires an EntityKey instance too, with the appropriate primary key information (remember the EntityKey is a unique way to identify the existing entity).
Lastly, calling ApplyCurrentValues applies the new values of the entity created by the MVC framework to the old entity. Here again, we need the entity set name to uniquely identify it.
We saw uses of the entity set name, used to identify the type of entity in an ADO.NET EF fashion. For instance, it could represent a mapping between the Products table and the Product entity. For instance, for our product repository, it would implement the following to get the entity set.
We'll see the GetDefaultSortingExpression used very soon. Note that GetFullEntitySetName appends the object context name to the name of the entity set, to get the correct name for adding, updating, etc. to objects.
We can generically work with some read operations as well, as shown below.
Every entity class generated by the default designer adds a set of attributes to each of its property. The EdmScalarPropertyAttribute has an EntityKeyProperty setting is set to true for the key field of the entity. This provides a flexible way to identify the primary key column without the need to manually specify it using a lambda.
Getting into the ObjectContext methods, getting all of the results of an entity from the data can be done by constructing an object set, using the entity set name. The object set can use LINQ extension methods to filter by page index and size, to say only get a result of 20 objects. Unfortunately, calling Skip and Take requires an object sorting, and as such, a custom Lambda expression performs that ordering.
The GetObjectByKey method actually retrieves the object from its key by its database, and we can use our new GetKeyProperty reflective method to get the name of the primary key property. As you can see, we can't use the key directly, but need an EntityKey object to retrieve it.
This approach means that I can utilize a repository like the following and already have the Create, Delete, Update, Get, and GetAll methods implemented in the base class. This leaves us only to have to worry about our additional query operations.
In most scenarios, code generation would be the best option to help reduce repetitive code; however, Entity Framework does a lot of the internal plumbing and expose helpful methods to do these features for us, without us having to write code.
ADO.NET Entity Framework provides a lot of plumbing to work in generic form and save yourself time writing a lot of code. We examined the various methods of the ObjectContext useful in getting data out and in of the backend database.

Adobe say they are working with Apple on Flash for iPhone
Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen told Bloomberg News in an interview that the software company was working together with Apple to develop a version of Flash for the iPhone. In the past, none other than Steve Jobs had said that Flash would be too slow for the iPhone and that Flash Lite isn't capable enough. Even with both companies on the same page, Narayen admits that it will not be an easy task to complete. And still open is the question of whether Flash would be part of a firmware upgrade for the phone, or if it would be delivered to users as an application to be downloaded from Apple's App Store.

I've never had problems with the battery life. Downloaded toggles for WIFI, etc. to be turned off when not in use and the battery life is great. I still don't know that Flash would be worth the time, but the battery life isn't bad at all.

Yup, my battery life is great as well. Even with the screen brightness set to 100%, i can watch a full 2 hour movie and still have more then 60% life left. It will be interesting having Flash for the iPhone.........I hope that they somehow get it to work. :D And godfather, do you know how flash works? I find it funny that you said it would be "Desperately trying to render" a flash session. Flash doesnt bog down systems like animated gifs do.....

I'm sure the godfather doesn't know what he's talking about. He just took this opportunity to say something/anything negative about the iPhone. When I saw his comment earlier today, I just didn't even bother replying to it.

May I make an assumption? Most people who make rash comments such as "...the bttery life on that thing is terrible now..." I don't think have ever used the iPhone... I don't know, just a guess? (aka: Storm-Loving iPhone-Haters)

twist to dry?
I like how my hair looks when I twist it in big chunks when wet and sleep on it, but I would love to have an easier system for keeping the twists in place. Does anyone have experience doing twists instead of rollers for curls?
Help/advice appreciated.
Regular two strand twists? Need more info.. You want to know how to hold hair in place when you sleep? For two strand twists with your hair type I would put an elastic band on each individual twist & take out in the morning.
twist curls
Thanks, I will try the elastics.
It makes my hair a bit less curly to twist it, but it can be less frizzy that way.
Tightly twist & bantu knot which just means wrap hair around into individual buns 2 achieve tighter curls

Performing a timing belt change is a routine or scheduled maintenance item. The main reason to why change the timing belt in your car's engine is to prevent normal wear on the belt from exceeding tolerances, causing the belt to fail. Below you will find three paragraphs containing the following information:
- The general timing belt change cost for most vehicle models.
- General timing belt change interval for most vehicles.
- Reasons why to change a timing belt.
General Costs
The total timing belt change price will be determined by a number of factors. What tools you have and which ones you need to either buy or rent is one of the biggest factors in the total timing belt change cost you'll be paying if you do it yourself. If you take it somewhere to have the work done, you may expect to pay anywhere from $100 at the extreme low end, to as much as $300 on the high end. If you own none of the tools and you plan on doing the work, you can expect to pay as little as $50 if you shop around for the best prices. At most retail chain parts stores, the belt will cost between $20 and $40. For someone with little to no experience and complete instructions, preferably with pictures, this project can be completed in an afternoon. For most cars, you will need nothing more than a set of sockets and a few wrenches. If you have a front wheel drive car, you may need a jack.
General Change Intervals
Most automotive manufacturers recommend a timing belt change interval of between 50,000 and 70,000 miles. However, there are certain makes and models where the interval may be as high as 100,000 miles. It isn't wise to exceed the manufacturer's recommendation for when to change the timing belt because they have arrived at these numbers by using years of experience and testing.
Reasons to Change the Timing Belt
Timing belts are made of rubber with some sort of stiffening and strengthening material sandwiched by layers of the rubber. These belts have teeth that run around the inside circumference of the belt. Over time the belt will stretch. When the belt stretches, the critical timing of the engine is compromised as the lengthened belt is able to skip teeth. On certain engines this can result in very serious damage to internal engine parts. If allowed to continue, teeth can start breaking or the belt will snap. On the same engines, a snapped timing belt at normal running speeds can be catastrophic for the engine. On the other end of the spectrum, a stretched belt will only cause decreased engine efficiency, thus fuel economy, until either enough teeth skip to cause the engine to quit running or the belt snaps or loses teeth.
Above you have been given information such as costs, reasons and intervals to consider when thinking about performing a timing belt change on your car.

Mexico drug lord on Forbes rich list with $1 billion
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's most wanted man Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, blamed for thousands of deaths in a drug war, has made it onto the Forbes Magazine list of the world's richest people with an estimated $1 billion fortune.
Guzman, who is just 5 feet tall, escaped from prison in 2001 to set off a wave of killings across Mexico in an attempt to dominate the country's highly lucrative drug trade into the United States.
"He is not available for interviews," Luisa Kroll, senior editor of Forbes, said Wednesday. "But his financial situation is doing quite well."
Forbes placed Guzman at 701 on its list, tied with dozens of others worldwide with riches of some $1 billion.
Guzman, 51, who officials believe changes his cell phone every day to avoid being tracked, is often compared to the late Colombian kingpin Pablo Escobar, whom Forbes has said amassed a fortune of $3 billion before he was killed by police in 1993.
The Mexican smuggler is "basically one of the biggest providers of cocaine to the United States," Kroll said. The magazine based its tally of his fortune on estimates from drug-trade analysts and U.S. government data.
Guzman's prison escape and ability to elude capture for eight years are an embarrassment to the Mexican government.
He has outwitted four major government drives to find him between 2002 and 2007. His escapades are the stuff of legend in the areas he controls and in popular "narcocorrido" songs that glorify drug traffickers.
Mexico's attorney general, Eduardo Medina Mora, told Reuters last week that defeating Guzman's cartel of traffickers from the Pacific state of Sinaloa was a priority in President Felipe Calderon's army-backed drug fight. Continued...

Plasma timolol concentrations of timolol maleate: timolol gel-forming solution (TIMOPTIC-XE®) once daily versus timolol maleate ophthalmic solution twice daily
- Cite this article as:

Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare plasma concentrations of timolol following multiple dosing of the therapeutic regimens of timolol maleate ophthalmic gel-forming solution (Timolol GS; TIMOPTIC-XE®) and timolol maleate ophthalmic solution. Timolol maleate ophthalmic gel-forming solution is also referred to as Timolol GS, i.e. gel-forming solution. Methods: This was a masked observer, two-period crossover study in six normal male subjects randomized to receive either Timolol GS, 0.5% (TIMOPTIC-XE,) once daily (0530 hours) or timolol maleate ophthalmic solution (0.5% TIMOPTIC®) twice daily (0530 and 1730 hours) for 8 days, in both eyes. On Day 8, a blood sample was obtained prior to treatment, as well as 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 24 hours following the morning instillation. After a 7-day inter-period washout interval, subjects received the opposite treatment. Results: Timolol GS (TIMOPTIC-XE): Plasma concentrations of timolol rarely exceeded 0.375 ng/ml (the lower limit of assay quantification). For all subjects, peak plasma concentrations of timolol averaged <0.3 ng/ml within 4 hours after the last dose. The highest single observation was 0.49 ng/ml in one subject (at hour 2). Timolol solution: For all subjects, peak plasma concentrations of timolol averaged about 0.5 ng/ml and 0.3 ng/ml within 4 hours following the first and second dose, respectively, on Day 8. The highest single observation was 0.95 ng/ml in one subject (at hour 2). Conclusions: The data suggest that there is less systemic exposure to timolol following once-daily therapy with Timolol GS 0.5% compared with twice daily therapy with timolol maleate ophthalmic solution 0.5%.

The plans are being put to a full Commons debate after an MPs' committee said they raised several concerns.
The Conservatives say the proposals would end the British veto on asylum and immigration measures.
But as the debate began, Home Office Minister Caroline Flint accused the Tories of spreading "myths".
Practical benefits?
European ministers agreed a five-year co-operation plan on criminal justice, visas, asylum, immigration, police and customs cooperation in 1999.
That programme is now coming to an end and MPs are being asked to endorse the European Commission's plans for the next five years.
The Commons European scrutiny committee says approval should be withheld until the practical benefits seen over the last five years and those expected under the new plan are assessed.
Its report said: "It bodes ill for the future if, on such sensitive matters, the commission envisages reliance on qualified majority voting to impose on member states legislation to which they are opposed."
Tory shadow home secretary David Davis said the plans would see the British veto being given up on asylum, immigration, visas and immigration, which would now be decided through weighted votes between countries.
"That is not cooperation, that is decisions effectively driven by Brussels," Mr Davis told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
The issues caused great political argument in Britain and it was incredibly important they could be decided in Parliament, he argued.
'Super state'
Mr Davis argued plans for a European public prosecutor, border guards and giving Europol investigative powers would give the EU "the trappings of a nation state".
The government says it supports the creation of a European border agency but does not want a corps of border guards.
It says it will only agree to a European public prosecutor if it is in Britain's interests.
Home Office Minister Caroline Flint denied there would be "harmonisation" of measures on asylum and immigration.
She said Britain was able to "opt in" where it wanted more co-operation.
Crime fight
Opening the debate, Ms Flint denied the plans threatened British sovereignty.
"We will ensure, along with other member
states, that the EU continues to respect the distinct and diverse legal
traditions of member states," she said.
"In particular the prosecution of individuals must remain a national
competence and we do not support proposals such as a European public
"But what we have also to ensure is that we have safeguards to make sure that
if there is any threat to our legal system in this country and our way of
carrying out procedures in criminal law we have an emergency brake we can step
on to make sure there would have to be a unanimous decision on this issue."
Earlier, outgoing European Commissioner Chris Patten has argued that European integration was at the "end of the road" with Britain's case winning through.
The ex-Tory chairman told the Times newspaper on Thursday: "Everyone else thinks it is going in our direction.
"Everyone else thinks that the constitutional treaty, for example, represented a huge achievement for British diplomacy. Everyone believes it except us."

Ambien found in Kennedy's blood after crash
WESTCHESTER, N.Y. -- Kerry Kennedy had detectable amounts of a sleeping drug in her blood after she was arrested for drugged-driving earlier this month, according to a Westchester County toxicologist's deposition released Wednesday.
The drug Zolpidem, which is also known as Ambien, was found in Kennedy's blood while a test of her urine came back negative for alcohol. The samples were taken by police the day of the incident and after Kennedy was found slumped over the steering wheel of her Lexus.
The finding directly contradicts what Ken Sunshine, a Kennedy spokesman, said the day after the July 13 incident, when police said Kennedy swiped a tractor-trailer on Interstate 684 before pulling off the highway.
"Kerry Kennedy voluntarily took breathalyzer, blood and urine tests -- all of which showed no drugs or alcohol whatsoever in her system," Sunshine said then, before Kennedy herself suggested she might have had a seizure.
But police said previously that Kennedy told them the day of the incident that she may have mistakenly ingested Ambien the night before, an admission that the blood test released Wednesday seemed to confirm.
"We have discussed the lab results with the (Westchester County) District Attorney's Office and they will be determining what is the appropriate course of action as we move forward," said Maj. Michael Kopy of the state police, deferring further questions to the DA's Office, where a spokesman declined to comment.
The test, which was taken a few hours after Kennedy's arrest, reported 14 nanograms of Zolpidem per milliliter of blood, which studies suggest is a relatively low concentration of the drug, though still enough for prosecutors, who only must prove that Kennedy's driving was affected by the drug's presence.
Kennedy, the ex-wife of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and a daughter of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, has acknowledged that she told a police officer she might have taken an Ambien pill by accident instead of her daily thyroid medication.
Kennedy, 52, pleaded not guilty July 17 to a charge of driving while ability impaired. She was released but was ordered to undergo evaluation by a substance abuse agency. She is due back in court Aug. 14.
John D. Pappalardo Jr., a lawyer for Kennedy, did not return requests for comment.

This post is part of the SPLENDA® 365 SWEET SWAPS ™ blogger program by McNeil Nutritionals, LLC. and The Motherhood, who sent me products and compensated me for my time. Opinions, experiences and photos shared here are my own, and I hope you enjoy them.
I have a sweet tooth. Big time. It might just be my greatest weakness.
Fortunately, I have found ways to satisfy my sweet tooth with less sugar by using SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener. I use it in my coffee, sprinkle it over fruit, and I bake with it. The thing I love about SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener is that it works pretty much anywhere I might use sugar. For baking I prefer using SPLENDA® Sugar Blend and SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend which have half the sugar and half the calories that you'll get when baking with plain sugar.
Blueberry Crumb Cake is one of those recipes where the SPLENDA® Sugar Blend works perfectly.
This classic crumb cake is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or snacking. I don't feel so guilty enjoying it, since it has half the calories and sugar. This is an adapted recipe that I pulled from the pages of "Martha Stewart Living" magazine many years ago. I have been making for as far back as I can remember. It's a good one!
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 cup Splenda® Sugar Blend
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sour cream
3 cups blueberries
Blueberry Crumb Topping Blueberry Crumb Topping
crumb topping ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup packed Splenda® Brown Sugar Blend
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Into a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.
2. Prepare crumb topping. In a medium bowl, combine cinnamon, salt, Splenda® Brown Sugar Blend, and flour. Cut in the butter using your hands, two knives, or a pastry blender until well combined and crumbly. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and Splenda® Sugar Blend until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Add vanilla, and beat until combined. Add reserved flour mixture and the sour cream, and beat just until well combined. Fold in 2 cups blueberries. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Toss remaining cup blueberries with the crumb topping. Sprinkle crumb topping over cake. Bake until golden brown and cake tester comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
I am loving the SPLENDA® 365 Sweet Swaps™ Campaign which is about making smart choices for healthy living. You can visit www.365SweetSwaps.com for more great ways to swap out added sugar in your diet!
How would you swap Splenda® for sugar in your kitchen?

Learning Knowledge and Skills for Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods
This qualitative in-depth research project by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and UNESCO aims to improve employment prospects for youth, especially young women by analysing how learning outside school can contribute to developing agricultural knowledge and skills.
The IFAD-UNESCO project will explore the status of skills development programmes in rural areas in three countries: Egypt, Ethiopia and Cambodia, to understand how young people have acquired knowledge in formal, non-formal and informal settings.
Linking literacy, learning and skills development, the project will use a strong participatory approach in the research. The focus is on learning rather than teaching and particular attention will be given to the views of young people.
A great number of unemployed youth live in agrarian societies and rural areas. Sustainable employment opportunities in agriculture for youth are a growing concern. Understanding how future farmers acquire knowledge and skills is critical in forming responses to rural poverty and food security. The neglect of agriculture in national budgets, policies and investment is often compounded by inadequate education systems.
The knowledge gained through this project is expected to point to new ways of promoting rural employment, reinforce policy dialogue on the role of education for rural development, and ultimately contribute to sustainable rural development and poverty reduction. More
IFAD-UNESCO Global Seminar on "Learning Knowledge and Skills for Agriculture to Improve Rural Livelihoods" (Paris, 27-28 February 2014)
Within the framework of a joint-research project, UNESCO, in collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), will host a Global Seminar on "Learning Knowledge and Skills for Improving Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods" at its Headquarters on 27-28 February 2014. With participation from countries and development partners—including young people, civil society, experts, donors, and multilateral organisations—this forum will inquire about an educational response to global concerns of agriculture and food security, youth unemployment, rural poverty, and sustainable rural development. It will also explore how to build on qualitative research conducted in Cambodia, Egypt and Ethiopia.

Good news and bad news.
I hit the jack pot today.
Good news first. I first ran into an M5. I was right behind him on Colonial Parkway. We were both going about 20 mph and I decided to nail the gas. He fell for it and followed. I got the initial jump, but he was actually a head of me at the start of the race. We ran up to about 90mph and I had at least a car or more on him. I actually slowly walked him in 2nd and 3rd gear. I had heard they run low 13s @ 108mph so I was a little suprized he didn't walk me, instead of the other way around.
Then a little later on up the road I see a Porsche Carrera. Didn't know if it was turbo yet. So I did my best to get close to him. This was kind of difficult because he was driving like he was at Indy. Well he gets caught in some traffic and has to slow down. I get about 3 cars behind him, its a turbo, (he see's me) and all the sudden he nails it. I see a little bit of smoke come out the tail pipe and the race is on. I nailed it all most at the same time he did and tried my very best to hang tuff. We ran from about 30mph up to 90mph or so. I would say he pulled about 1 car on me up to 90mph. Thats it. I felt pretty good hanging tuff behind him. I was definately right there in his rear view mirror not going anywhere fast.
So pretty exciting day so far.
