PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — K.J. Choi made his first PGA Tour playoff experience a memorable one Sunday. He made par on the island-green 17th to win The Players Championship for his first tour win in three years.
David Toms won't forget it, either.
Moments after Toms hit his best shot of the week from a divot in the 18th fairway and made an 18-foot birdie putt to force a playoff, he missed a 3½-foot par putt in the playoff that cost him a chance at his first win in five years.
Choi closed with a 2-under 70 to become the fourth straight international player to win the PGA Tour's biggest event. He had to make a par putt just inside 5 feet to get to the playoff, then watched Toms hand him the victory.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The consolation for Graeme McDowell is he still has the lead at The Players Championship.
McDowell made a late surge as he finished the rain-delayed third round Sunday morning, building a three-shot lead with a tap-in birdie on the island-green 17th. But he was shocked to see his approach on the 18th bounce onto the green, take a hard turn to the left and roll all way into the water. He wound up with a double bogey for a 68.
Even so, that gave him a one-shot lead over K.J. Choi and David Toms going into the final round.
It set up what could be a dynamic finish, with so many top players on a course where anything can happen at any minute. That much was evident at the end of the third round.
Nick Watney lost the lead by playing a three-hole stretch in 4 over.
McDowell hit a beautiful pitch on the 16th to set up a birdie and the outright lead. Then came a wedge on the 17th that spun down the slope to within 2 feet for birdie.
He was in the right rough on the 18th, a clear look at the green that features a severe slope to the left on the front part. McDowell said he would have taken anything short or to the right, but with his draw, it headed toward the flag below the teardrop mounds, bounced onto the green with speed and caught the slope.
It looked good, but only for a second.
The ball rolled to the left, further and further away, gathering speed. Then it caught another small slope and McDowell's jaw dropped when he saw the ball tumble over the wooden frame of the green and into the water.
"Wow!" he said to himself.
He dropped on the fringe, but left his long par putt about 6 feet short and missed that one for double bogey.
McDowell was at 12-under 204 and will play in the final threesome with Choi (67) and Toms (71). McDowell had played mistake-free, and the double bogey brought several players back into the hunt for the final 18 holes Sunday afternoon.
Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III, a two-time winner on the TPC Sawgrass, avoided the calamity that hit so many others down the stretch for a 70 that put him in the group at 9-under 207 with Luke Donald (71), Jason Dufner (68), Aaron Baddeley (70), Steve Stricker (71) and Watney, who had to settle for a 72.
Donald, who can go to No. 1 in the world with a win Sunday, bogeyed the last two holes.
It was one of several missed chances on a gorgeous morning at Sawgrass.
Watney made the turn in 32 to get to 13 under and was holding steady until he pulled his tee shot so badly on the 14th that it went into the water and he had to play again from the tee. He wound up with a double bogey to fall one shot behind, then kept sliding. He came up well short of the 15th green and made bogey, then chipped through the green and into the water on the par-5 16th for bogey.
Toms, the 36-hole leader, was tied for the lead after Watney's double bogey. But he failed to birdie the 16th, then put his tee shot on the 17th into a bunker and took two shots to reach the green for bogey.
Stricker was one shot out of the lead when he missed four putts inside 8 feet — three for birdie, one for par.
His tee shot on the 17th was perfect for the traditional Sunday hole location, only this was Sunday morning — still the third round, when the pin is in a bowl at the bottom left of the green, not top right.
That left Stricker a 55-foot putt around a ridge and down the slope, and he took bogey. From the fairway on the 18th, he badly pulled his shot to the left and into the water and did well to save bogey.

This bust of Rowena Ravenclaw was created by Xenophilius Lovegood who was trying to recreate the magical properties of her diadem. Upon the bust was that which was supposed to be the diadem of Rowena that Xenophilius was trying to recreate, using Wrackspurt siphons, billywig propellers, and a dirigible plum.
It was partially destroyed when the Death Eaters attacked the Lovegood House.
Behind the scenes
- This bust made a background appearance only in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. Instead of featuring Xenophilius Lovegood's eccentric imagined recreation of Ravenclaw's Diadem, the bust featured a stone diadem quite like the actual diadem.

The folks at Trulia hosted a NoGIS MeetUp on Wednesday April 6 on the west coast.
Perhaps you've not yet heard this term. I first heard of it about ten days ago ago. I'll be honest: it didn't impress me the same way neogeography didn't impress me. And, while it's being compared to the SQL/NoSQL distinction, I don't find that a comelling comparison just yet. (I wrote about NoSQL earlier this year.)
So, what does NoGIS mean? Here are some definitions and resources:
Sean Gorman (GeoIQ):
I believe what we are seeing is a new class of computational problems that traditional GIS is not well structured to handle.
I'll add: NoGIS is that which addresses those problems. Sean does note that NoGIS does not preclude traditional GIS, in fact it may well have some overlap with it.
- Sean Gorman at the GeoIQ blog
Mano Marks (Google):
NoGIS: Round Two of Neo vs. Paleo Geography?
That's his title and it's really his point.
- Mano Marks at Random Markers Blog
James Fee (WeoGeo):
As with anything, everyone is quick to say we've all been doing this since the 1960′s so ignore it and move on unless you've got one of the following to accomplish:
- Give talk at some 2.0 conference, NoGIS will put fannies in the seats.
- Want to write a book; clearly we need textbooks on the subject.
- Need differentiator between your product and ArcSDE/PostGIS/SQL Server/Oracle Spatial
- Just like to shoot the *#()^$ about crap
I can't disagree - neogeography ended up, for me, to be just like geodesign, a name for something we are already doing. I concluded we should just "do" what ever geodesign is and worry less about it's definition in my recap of this year's GeoDesign Summit. I suspect just doing NoGIS would work, too.
- James Fee at The James Fee Blog
Here are the tweets tagged #nogis; that's probably a good place to follow action from last night's event.
My Take
New terms for new visions, technologies and problems are a necessity in any field that's growing and changing. They help us speak about where we are now and where we are going. But let's not forget much of their use is in marketing these new visions, technologies and problems. That marketing may be formal (used in marketing materials, trademarked, etc.) or it may be less formal and not associated with a single company or organization.
And, let's be honest: since Esri became the biggest player in GIS, the goal of many marketers has been to distinguish their offerings and vision from those of the Redlands-based company. Some years ago, in a marketing job, I noted that Esri owned the term GIS, so my company needed a new one that we could own. That term, geoengineering, didn't make such a big splash and has reverted for most people to its original use, referring to engineering the earth. Other marketing efforts have come and gone as well. I'm sure I'm not the first to think up the term NoEsri.
I do like the idea of a new class of problems driving a new set of technologies to solve those problems. That's how I understand the current NoSQL database options; they are responses to databases not doing what is needed. I'm a bit less clear about what GIS is not providing that NoGIS adds, but perhaps that's still being determined/compile. So far it seems to include ease of use by non-experts, quick return of maps to the screen, not so much analysis... Only time will tell if those and other properties really create a new paradigm or set of technologies.

Re: The Journey Begins Again Again (resub)
I changed the X in the top corner to an arrow at the sage like advice of my fellow wooters. Thank you for voting on the last one, this is +1 arrow better now!
Here's the large version for extra big babby hugs:

"The kingdom of this world,
Is become the kingdom of our Lord,
And of His Christ, and of His Christ:
And He shall reign for ever and ever,
For ever and ever, forever and ever."
I sat.
Standing at this climax has been a tradition since George II. Every musical impulse, every feeling of homage, suggested that I get to my feet. But this is Jerusalem, Israel, right? This is what we've been waiting for. Jews don't kneel (or so Menachem Begin said), and they don't stand for messianic preemptions. Anyway, it is simple courtesy. There are over a thousand people here in the hall. Why spoil the moment by calling attention to myself? If others don't stand and I do, I will be blocking somebody's view, right?
Then, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a man a few rows in front and well to the right, getting up. What was more, he was wearing a knitted yarmulke, you know, the usual sign of halakhic orthodoxy tinged with Zionist celebration. As the chorus gained power, and he noticed he was blocking others, he smoothly slipped out to the aisle and stood there quietly, his gaze forward, a rapt smile on his face. He must be from England, I told myself: standing was a little manifest demonstration of home sickness.
As we were walking out, I approached this man, mostly to congratulate him on his little bravery. Envy, they say, is a secularist's faith. He shook my hand warmly, and said, in a heavy German accent, and without a trace of irony or reproach, "How can one not stand at such a moment?" There was a twinkling in his eye. And I thought, "We shall be changed."
Here is the chorus. You may stand if you wish.
Here is the chorus. You may stand if you wish.

In a sleepy lagoon off the coast of Japan is a highly guarded secret. During the night, Taiji fishermen engage in an unseen hunt for thousands of dolphins. The work is so horrifying, the fishermen will stop at nothing to keep it hidden from the outside world. When a team of elite activists, filmmakers, and free-divers embark on a secret mission to penetrate their cover, the shocking discoveries they find there are just the tip of the iceberg.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
By complementing the body's natural healing processes, Craniosacral Therapy is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
* Migraine Headaches
* Chronic Neck and Back Pain

* Stress and Tension-related problems
* TMJ pain
and many others
Craniosacral Therapy was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics.

Systemic Constellations for Families, Organizations, and Natural Systems
- Family Constellation Individual Session - $190
2 hours . Family and systemic Constellations uncover the hidden dynamics of your family, relationship or business in an experiential way so that existing energy can be observed and changed where necessary and undue stress released or reduced in the system. This is a gentle and sensitive method of allowing family or relationship energy to reveal itself through representatives, so that a resolution can unfold. This involves allowing each member of the system to find their rightful place in the group which involves a healthy and respectful connection to each other, hence allowing the natural flow of love in the system.
Constellations are most effective for issues that appear to be systemic in nature. If you have already tried therapy but still have your issue it could be that it is systemic, a pattern or entanglement coming from your family of origin; therapies that do not take a systemic approach may be missing the bigger picture. Counseling and Psychotherapy have value in helping sort out problems and in helping us find meaning and purpose in life and resolving personal issues. However, for those of you who have already been down the counseling path, who still have unresolved issues, or for those of you that don't want to expose your most intimate feelings and thoughts in therapy, then perhaps you should consider Family Constellations workshops or private sessions.
Family Constellation is an individual or a group of souls agreeing for their mind and body to be present in a sacred circle, the purpose of which is to tap into the collective, archaic and ancestral wisdom of the family soul and energy of humanity to discover the hidden dynamics which contribute to a problem in the family. The experience and the new perspective offers you a space to find peace and healing in the context of you in your family soul and the greater soul of humanity. This is a profound therapeutic, healing modality that may be an alternative to counseling or a complement to the therapeutic process. A private session can occur with you and the facilitator.
Benefits of Family Constellation
This is an exciting and effective new therapy that is an adjunct or alternative to traditional counseling, that is very established and popular in Europe and spreading around the world. It is very powerful and effective at illuminating a situation and providing a workable systemic solution.
Most people resolve their issue in a relatively short time using Family Constellations or a combination of therapy and constellation work. It is a relatively, quick, easy and cost effective method. You don't need the other person(s) in your issue to be present - you may choose either a private one-to-one, or a group session. For many this is a profound life changing experience.
Relationships are perhaps the most important aspect of your life in terms of providing you with warmth and contentment and peace of mind. Your relationships in business, in your personal life and in your family, affect all aspects of your life, including the way you relate to problems.
Notable Aspects of Family Constellations
* Most people resolve their issue in just one or a few sessions. It is quick and very cost effective
* You don't need the other person(s) in your issue to be present
* We don't need to know what happened in your issue – just some bare facts
* The resolution often appears to ripple out and effects the other people in your issue, even though they didn't attend
* It is a gentle, sensitive, effective process
* It is an alternative method to traditional counseling, although it can be used in combination with counseling
* This is often referred to as "Movements of the Soul"
* It is the ultimate in personal development in promoting connection and more contentment.
- Organizational Constellation - $200 (call for appointment)
Constellations reveal hidden dynamics in a system, whether that system is an organization or a family. These conflicts can be in key areas such as leadership, conflict resolution, relationships between departments, and relationships with clients. The constellation allows us to examine these dynamics by seeing and hearing them directly via representation.
After describing an organizational dilemma including what needs to be different, we identify the key elements of that dilemma. You then choose people or objects to represent those elements: colleagues, customers, suppliers, owners, workers, governments, The Stock Exchange, other stakeholders, nations or ethnic groups, even more conceptual elements like resources, limitations, goals or the future.
These elements are intuitively placed in relation to each other. Representatives (or you, standing on the objects) are able to feel deeply and report accurately the experience of that which they are representing. This reveals hidden dynamics that are worked with creatively to explore new and deep perspectives that go below conventional awareness to reveal profound resolutions.
"A constellation shifts people's perception of where problems come from and suggests ways to move forward differently that strengthen and build. The new perspectives allow issue-holders fresh insights, a renewed sense of possibility and a strong focus on action. In addition, a synchronous shift sometimes takes place in the real organization or community that has been represented. " (Judith Hemming)

You can find more about my training in energetic and shamanic healing here.
Shamanic healing work indicates that you have chosen to commit to expend energy on your own behalf in order to receive healing and to create change in your own life.
I am a shamanic practitioner, initiated and trained in several traditions. I have 12 years of shamanic training and healing experience with indigenous and non-indigenous teachers alike. To date I have sought out and received 1,300+ hours of shamanic instruction from many teachers, including the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, Betsy Bergstrom, Ana Larramendi, and Adolfo Tito Condori from the Andes.
For more information, http://www.waterwillowmoon.com for more complete details about shamanic work in general and about my shamanic healing sessions in particular. A complete list of my shamanic training is here.
The fee for a shamanic session includes your session and a remote follow-up session if that is necessary. I may send you a transcript of this work via email if anything more than routine clearing was made known to me.
- Energy Clearing for Offices, Homes, Businesses and Projects
Price for a clearing begins at $225, depending on the space and size of home/land to be cleared, and its energetic condition; there are many factors which determine the price of any given clearing. I recommend a walk-through before quoting you a final working price if I do not know the property or conditions.
One of the best long-term strategies for a calm and serene daily life is the clearing and managing of the unfavorable energies in homes, offices, and buildings, and bringing in positive energies for a more harmonious atmosphere. For energetically sensitive people, this can translate into a great positive change in the quality of your daily living.
Creating vibrant energy fields in spaces can influence the way that people act, respond, and live. Clean and sparkling energies in a space support an atmosphere of balance, harmony, happiness, and joy for all who pass through or work in that space, and can promote restful sleep, too. Just like dust and grime, dense and stagnant energies can accumulate through regular daily use, which leads to feelings of lethargy and stuckness. Cleaning and maintenance of the energy fields we live and work in can be very helpful for this!
I work with Realtors to help sell houses, with Homeowners who want to create change in their lives, and with Business Owners to attract more customers. I regularly clear and enliven the energies of my healing spaces and the energies in my home, and would like to do this for you, your business or home.
If you would like a Space Clearing and Blessing for home or office, please contact me to arrange a time and a price - my fee depends on size of the space involved if larger than a single-family dwelling or modest sized office. Driving fees may apply if the space to be cleared is more than 15 minutes away from downtown Huntsville.
Directions 900 Wellman Ave NE, Suite 5, Huntsville, AL 35801
Hours: 11am-7pm - Other hours available by arrangment ~ 256-337-1699

HP, RIM take flak from nervous financial industry customers
By Jed Horowitz
NEW YORK (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co and BlackRock Inc voiced concerns about Hewlett-Packard Co and Research In Motion Ltd this week, saying business and operational struggles may affect the reliability of two of the biggest technology service providers.
"We are concerned about some of the players that we have relied on to provide material services and equipment," Scott Condron, chief technology officer of asset management giant BlackRock, said at an information technology conference in New York sponsored by Waters magazine.
Hewlett-Packard is BlackRock's preferred provider for its server farms and a major vendor for its personal computers.
"I like their equipment and I would like them to continue being a supplier, but I need them to be a better company," Condron said in an interview.
Richard Anfang, chief information officer at JPMorgan Chase's securities services division, also referenced HP's problems as a risk factor banks should consider in dealing with suppliers.
"You really want to understand what your reliance on vendors is and how that puts delivery service at risk," he said at the conference. "Where do you have single points of failure, where do they not have resiliency - everything from a Verizon central office switch flooding during the hurricane to accounting scandals with HP. You need to think about your vendors and manage the execution risk."
The comments may in part reflect negotiating stands as strained banks and financial companies scrutinize all parts of their operations to cut costs when renegotiating contracts, said some Wall Street observers. They noted, however, that the comments were made to other securities industry technology professionals in the spirit of honest communication.
HP said in November that a UK software company it bought last year for more than $11 billion cooked its books prior to the acquisition, requiring an $8.8 billion write-down in its third quarter. That followed a write-down of almost $11 billion on its EDS services division in the second quarter. Continued...

These were decent Nachos! They had a nice crisp to them and they were of the Black, Red and Yellow chip variety. The Assistant Marketing Manager for Melrose Cafe and Bar got in touch with em and said the Nachos were homemade. This is a good thing. If restaraunts or bars are selling nachos they should be homemade. Melrose got it right! Even the Nachos that were covered in toppings at the bottom stayed crunchy. Nice work Melrose, you are off to a good start!
Yum. These Nachos had Jalapenos, tomatoes, green onions and cheese. However no olives… you know me by now. I like my olives! But it's okay. They are forgiven because the cheese was amazing. It tasted really good and it took my mind away from the lack of olives. There were lots of toppings on these Nachos, you don't believe me? You be the judge!
The Nachos cost $14.35 if you want guacamole then they cost $16.35. I recommend paying the extra two dollars because the guacamole is amazing.
As delicious as these Nachos were, they don't get a perfect score. Why you ask? Well it's all about consistency on nachojoe.com. I went to Melrose again and the Nachos were kind of soggy and there just wasn't enough cheese. But the Nachos featured here in the pictures were very close to being perfect. I'm giving Melrose Nachos 9/10. Maybe I will do a follow up review, maybe I won't. I don't know! But remember fellow Nacho lovers, not every restaurant respects the art of Nachos like we do. So if they aren't up to par, try again. You might be surprised!
Until next time!
Nacho Joe 😛

Do not leave your gun in plain view when you sleep. How many times have you just walked up on someone asleep and they didn't even know you were there? Now the BG has YOUR gun!
I keep one gun in a case under my bed (1911 45), one in a drawer across the room on the wifes side for her (Beretta 9 w/ CT Laser) , and one in the top of my closet my primary with flashlight (M&P 45).
Why? I want my head to clear before I start throowing lead and if I get attacked in the bed I will probably end up on the floor next to my gun case. Thank you Mr. BG!
Good HD starts with layering your defenses, research that if you are unfamiliar with the idea.
BTW your weapon choice is EXCELLENT!
Rabbi, thank you for the kind words about the HK. I have a little yip-yip dog that will wake me up if a fly farts in the garage, so I doubt that I will not wake up. I'm active duty military and spent all 2008 overseas, so I am a VERY light sleeper.
BTW, my parents live in Hope Mills and we frequent the outlets often so I am in your neck of the woods alot.

Kimkins PR Director rebuts fraudulent claims.Top Rated Diets of 2017
Please note, DietsInReview.com does not recommend the Kimkins diet program. Kimkins has completely misrepresented itself and the information it presents to customers, and in doing so, has endangered the lives of many of those people.
UPDATE 10/10 Kimkins Diets Founder Heidi Diaz is found guilty of fraud and false advertising
UPDATE 11/09: Kimkins Class Action Lawsuit Filed
Kimkins broke into the diet scene in 2000 selling itself as the one sure thing to end your dieting chaos. She said she had been an obese 300 pounds and like so many others, struggled to find a diet that worked for her. So she created her own solution- a low-carb/low-calorie diet that she says works incredibly fast. Not only would Kimkins help you lose weight quickly (198 pounds in one year in her case), but the plan would set you up for success for life. Kimkins also excitedly promotes that you won't have to do a single stretch, sprint or sit-up as exercise isn't necessary to achieve these amazing results.
Unfortunately, none of it is true. Kimkins is being investigated for fraud after many customers became seriously ill. Kimkins is an excruciatingly low-calorie diet and none of the information presented as fact as any medical or scientific support. Kimmer herself does not have a nutritional background and her advice is strictly from what appears to be fake experiences.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- None to speak of
There is a laundry list of reasons why you should not follow the Kimkins diet. Currently the creator, Heidi Diaz, who operates under the alias Kimmer, is the possible subject of a potential class-action lawsuit and under investigation for fraud. Many of the Kimkins customers are becoming dangerously sick from following the Kimkins program. While Kimmer markets the diet as being a quick solution that will last for life, and losing 200 pounds in one year herself, she currently is morbidly obese- not at all what her ads claim.
- No research or healthcare endoresements
- Plan contradicts sound medical research
- Dangerously low caloric intake
- No exercise
- Suggested to take laxatives regularly
- Creator under investigation for fraud
- Creator does not have any nutrition or medical experience
Additionally, many followers of Kimkins have reported frightening side effects, including:
- Constant nausea
- Hair loss
- Fainting
- Heart palpitations
- Fatigue
- Bone and/or joint pain
- Constipation
The proposed Kimkins diet is made up mainly of lean protein, very little fat or carbs and no fiber. The diet is said to be based on Atkins, but with Kimmer's personal twist. The average user consumes about 1200 calories a day; many users admit to only about 500 calories a day.EXERCISE
Kimkins advertises that you will not need any exercise to achieve your desired goals.CONCLUSION
Mom always said "If it's too good to be true, it probably is". And in the case of Kimkins, it sounded so much better than it actually turned out to be. This is one rapid weight loss fad that turned out to be a rapid weight loss scam. Consumers have been raising flags of concern about both the legitimacy of Kimkins and the health risks linked with the program. Heidi Diaz "Kimmer" is currently under investigation for fraud. It's unfortunate that so many men and women were duped by this convincing and charming sales woman. But it appears that this scam produced nothing more than a very lucrative eating disorder that has left a lot of people hurting.
Common misspellings: Kimmer, KimKens, Kemkins, Kemkind, Kimkins deit reviewUPDATE
In October 2007 Diets in review received a rebuttal to our review (below letter) from Jeannie Baitinger - Kimkins PR Director. In January 2008, Kimmer sent a rebuttal and Jeannie responded letting us know that she had left Kimkins and severed all ties with the lawsuit-ridden program.
Dear Jim,
Thank you for giving Kimkins.com the opportunity to present our side of the story.
First please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jeannie Baitinger and on the website I am known as Tippy Toes. I am employed by Kimkins.com as PR Director and as management.
We know we are under attack from various sources. But many of these sources are coming from people who have only heard about our diets and have not actually tried them. The effect has been much like a snowball effect of people who genuinely mean well but are not actual members. Much is based on hear say and negative publicity.
Moreover, we offer no calorie limits on any plan. There are no 500 calorie per day plans. No plan is 100% fat free. We do allow the individual to use common sense when adding healthy fats and we term this as "just enough fat to make it work". We do not promote starvation of any kind and we never will. We encourage members to stick within the plan guidelines and further, we encourage them to add extra protein and possibly extra salads if they are still hungry or not feeling well.
We do not encourage or promote laxative abuse. However, it is not at all uncommon for a low carb diet plan to cause constipation. When a member complains we have recommended gentle stimulants such as M.O.M. or 100% physillium husks. There is also a tea which is helpful in relieving symptoms. We will never recommend laxatives as part of weight loss plans. Never!
Additionally we do encourage our members to have their Doctor's review the plans and monitor their progress. Many, many members report excellent lab reviews and Doctor's blessings. On our website I have never seen anything but positive reviews. On other websites I read the negatives but without offered proof. What I do read are stories of hair loss. This seems common on a lot of diets. Even the Atkins diet can cause this. When I did Atkins it happened to me. Oddly, I never lost hair doing Kimkins though. But again, hair loss is easily corrected and people who have their Doctor's monitoring progress can address the issue and get help. I would find it rather bizarre to lose huge chunks of my hair and still continue with any diet WITHOUT seeing my Doctor immediately. So I must question why there are no medical claims based on proof...
I am personally a Kimkins success story. I began my weight loss journey at 263 lbs. I am a female of 5' 7". I began losing weight with the Atkins diet (also quite con-traversal) and did well on it for about a year. I lost approximately 50 lbs on Atkins and then it stopped working. For the next 6 months I lost no further weight or inches. A dear friend told me about the Kimkins diet and I decided to give it a try. The weight came off just as promised! EXACTLY as promised! I made a personal choice to begin alternating Kimkins diet with Atkins. On Kimkins I could lose the weight and on Atkins breaks I could easily maintain it. Today my current weight is 152. Maintaining my weight has never been so easy thanks to a low carb lifestyle.
Our website is full of happy success stories much like mine. Many people have no trouble doing only Kimkins straight to goal. I have seen amazing losses--as much as 100lbs in 5 months. These big losses are quite common at Kimkins. Side effects appear minimal and as stated previously we do encourage everyone to have their Doctor's monitor them every step of the way.
Our members are not uneducated people being mislead. We just completed a Teacher's Challenge and the entire group lost an unbelievable amount of weight. The teacher's group had planned to make a public donation to fund teachers but with all the negative publicity they have opted for private donations instead. It is not at all uncommon for Internet users to wish to remain private. That is why many choose a nickname rather than using a real name.
As far as the founder of Kimkins.com is concerned and with all due respect, most members really don't care who she really is or is not. We believe the founder has every right to privacy and further we believe she is entitled to such. Her real name and weight is not an issue to people who are serious about weight loss and finally are able to make it happen. People buy a membership for their own weight loss and that is what they get. Weight loss. Our claim "there is no faster weight loss plan" is very accurate.
I will be more than happy to issue you a temporary site pass if you would like to come in and see what is really happening for yourself. Just let me know if you are interested in the real truth. It's pretty amazing!

User Feedback(Page 7 of 7, 124 total comments)
I am a Kimkins member, age 53, and have lost 42 lbs in just over 2 months and my health is great. I consume an average of 1000 to 1100 calories daily of very healthy low carb food. Great protein, fat and carb levels for me. My doctor is very pleased. And, oh yes, though exercise is not required, some of us do that too. Calorie needs are different for everyone and in addition, short term use of very low calories, if the foods are nutritious, are not harmful. Any diet can be made unsafe or unhealthy if used improperly. I am very glad to have found this WOE and will continue to use it as my base diet for life.
KTLA Exclusive Internet Diet Scam Exposed! http://ktla.trb.com/news/local/ http://video.ktla.com/global/video/popup/pop_playerLaunch.asp?clipid1=1803674&at1=News+%
Glad to have a place where I can post my positive experience with Kimkins. There is a lot of negative info circulating on the internet regarding this diet, and the naysayers just don't want to hear the good news. I've been a member of the Kimkins site for some time, and it absolutely works for me. I'm healthier, and feel better than ever. My doc likes it too!
This is a very low calories diet - some members consuming 500 calories daily and even lower. This is not a healthy way to lose weight, especially without medical supervision.

Anyone who has ever attended a tedious black-tie dinner will be familiar with the sweepstake. A dull after-dinner speech by a retired Tory MP is rendered much more interesting by the prospect of trousering £200 if you correctly predict the number of minutes he'll spend at the microphone.
Halfway through the International Wine Challenge dinner, the selfstyled 'Oscars of the wine world', I kicked myself for not organising something similar. If I tell you that there were something like 100 trophies awarded on the night (I nodded off at one point and may have missed the winner of the best wine merchant in the Channel Islands award, or some such), then you can probably understand why.
The IWC has been doing what it does since the mid-Eighties. It started small (so small that one of the first trophy winners was an English wine) and has mushroomed into the biggest blind-tasting competition in the world, with 9,000 wines judged over a two-week period. Of these, 5,649 wines walked away with a medal of some sort this year, which explains why the results have to be spread over the October and November issues of Wine International and still feel like a small phone directory.
So what function does the IWC serve? Robert Joseph, its founder and co-chairman, said that its aim is to 'introduce more good wine to more people', which it has certainly done over the years. The wines it selects aren't always brilliant - of the 20-odd award winners I tasted on the night, half were unexciting - but anything that persuades consumers that there is life beyond Pinot Grigio and Aussie Chardonnay deserves a pat on the back.
My main criticism, apart from the more bizarre awards (the gong for Best Promotional Material was my favourite), is that the whole thing has become a victim of its own success. How is the consumer to distinguish between all these award-winning wines? When you add the Decanter World Wine Awards, we are surely approaching recommendation overload.
I don't begrudge the producers their medals, but does anyone seriously care about who wins Commendeds or Seals of Approval? As consumers, we want someone to tell us about the winners and, at a push, semi- and quarter-finalists, not the stuff that gets eliminated in the second round. Both competitions would benefit from a more ruthless approach to medal giving (although that would be unpopular with the producers, who pay money to submit samples).
Behind the dry ice and flashbulbs, what really matters is the quality of the award-winning wines. And that's why I was delighted to see Sainsbury's (Best Supermarket), Majestic (Best High Street Retailer) and the Wine Society (Overall Wine Merchant of the Year) take the three biggest prizes on the night. In a difficult market, all three are doing their best to promote the diversity and complexity of wine.
Best cellars
Four great-value trophy winners from the IWC.
2004 TriVento Viognier, Mendoza (£4.99, Waitrose)
TriVento is the Argentine outpost of Concha y Toro, Chile's largest winery. As such, its products more than live up to the quality of its parent company's. This creamy, peach and apricot-scented white is the best sub-£5 Viognier on the market.
La Gitana Manzanilla, Hidalgo (£5.49, Sainsbury's; £6.49, Majestic)
Tio Pepe may be more famous, but if you want to drink a fresh, inexpensive dry Sherry then this textbook Manzanilla should occupy a corner of your fridge. It's crisp and slightly salty with a citrus fruit tang and an oatmeal undertone.
2004 Vina Errazuriz Merlot, Curico Valley (£5.99, Sainsbury's)
Now packaged in screwcap (which is still a brave move in rather conservative Chile), this is back on form after a slight dip in recent years. It's ripe and fleshy with lots of plum and blackberry fruit, firm tannins and a kiss of oak.
2004 Sileni Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough (£9.99, Raisin Social, 01883 731 173; £6.66 on three for two, Thresher and Wine Rack)
It's a long time since I've been so impressed by a Kiwi Sauvignon. This is focused and restrained with Sancerre-like minerality and fresh gooseberry and passion-fruit flavours.

Police: Gunman in Ala. Bar Shooting Turned Self In
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - A gunman stood outside of a crowded downtown bar and opened fire from two different positions early Tuesday, sending patrons running or crawling for cover in a chaotic and bloody scene. At least 17 people were hurt as bullets ricocheted and debris, glass and brick fell in and around the nightclub.
The gunman turned himself in to police several hours after the 12:30 a.m. shooting near the University of Alabama. Police believed the rampage was connected to a shooting at a home about 45 minutes earlier, and they were investigating whether both evolved from a dispute between rival motorcycle gangs.
"There were sparks coming off the ground and then I felt a sting and I knew I'd been hit," said Rachel Studdard, who was sitting on the bar's patio with a group of friends, enjoying 50-cent draft beer when the shooting started.
A bullet hit Studdard's toe, and debris hit her in the side and in the leg. She was using crutches to walk Tuesday and still had dried blood on her leg.
The shots fired so quickly it sounded like automatic gunfire, said Studdard, who recently graduated a two-year college and plans to attend the university in the fall.
Chief Steve Anderson wouldn't identify the man until charges were filed, and he cautioned they still were not certain what the motive was.
Outside the bar, pools of blood were visible and a trail of bloody footprints could be seen on the sidewalk for about two blocks leading away from the nightclub before crews cleaned the sidewalk.
Elizabeth Walters was inside the Copper Top when the shooting began. She described a ghastly scene of people clutching wounds as blood splattered and pooled underneath them on the floor.
"It sounded like it would never end," Walters said. "There was a lull and then it started up again."
After the shooting ended, the music in the bar continued to play for several minutes until someone turned it off.
The gunman walked away, down the same street he hiked up to get to the bar, Anderson said.
It appeared he shot through the glass of the front double French doors and a side door. The front doors were covered by a black material and two windows were missing from wooden doors on the side door, where a bullet left a hole in the frame.
Police also said they thought the rampage was connected to an earlier shooting at a home in Northport, where yellow police tape surrounded the single-level, brown ranch-style house. The front window was broken out and three police cars were parked outside. A motorcycle was parked in the garage.
One person was injured in that shooting.
"We feel certain that we will be able to connect the dots with this individual," Anderson said.
The gunman turned himself in at a business about 45 miles north of the shooting in Tuscaloosa. He walked into the store and told an employee he was the suspect, Anderson said. The workers called police and he was taken into custody.
Most of the injured were hit by bullet fragments or debris, said Brad Fisher, a spokesman at DCH Regional Medical Center.
Two people were in intensive care, one in critical condition and the other in serious condition, Fisher said. Three people were in fair condition and the others were treated and released.
At least three of the injured were university students.

The message came from Mr Cameron's private parliamentary secretary, Desmond Swayne, who is charged with conveying backbench opinion. In internal emails to the Conservative leader, he also warns that there are doubts about who is in charge of the leadership operation, and that MPs believe some of his initiatives are not sustained.
Mr Swayne tells Mr Cameron that the leader has taken on so much power that "my concern is that you might if you keep your foot quite so hard on the accelerator be in danger of being completely frazzled". He claims that the media are not interested in any Tory initiative unless it involves Mr Cameron personally.
The emails, which have been seen by the Guardian, confirm simmering tensions inside the Tory party despite Mr Cameron's smooth presentation. The friction points include Europe, nuclear power and the A-list of "preferred, centrally chosen parliamentary candidates".
Mr Swayne says a key faction of the parliamentary party - the No Turning Back Group - is thinking of backing a flat tax proposed by Lord Minford as part of a solution to the council tax problem.
He claims there is "lots of unease about political funding and policy on the hoof, but my estimate is this is manageable". Summarising backbench criticism of Mr Cameron's management style, he quotes the view: "Who is in charge anyway? Decisions about last week were left very late and jazzed people off."
Mr Swayne reports complaints that plans for a regeneration month fell apart because it was not sustained, as backbenchers suspected it would not be.
He says many backbench colleagues want John Hayes, the party's education spokesman, to be sacked as a sign that discipline is being imposed. In a separate email he writes: "A number of colleagues have expressed surprise John Hayes is still on the frontbench, given the language he used in a press release attacking the Conservative headquarters proposals on candidate selection."
In his press release, Mr Hayes attacked party chairman Francis Maude's plan for an A-list of parliamentary candidates, as the "product of the bizarre theory of people who spend too much time with the pseuds and poseurs of London's chichi set and not enough time in normal Britain".
The chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee, Sir Michael Spicer, said, according to Mr Swayne, "he had assumed Mr Hayes had already resigned to say it".
Discussing the possibility of dismissing Mr Hayes he confides: "It may have been an opportunity to give a salutary warning, but I think on balance it would have been a mistake to sack him.
"He should not get away with it completely, however. I hope the colonels will be taking a stroll over to him shortly, if they have not already done so."
Mr Swayne also reports: "There is concern about you being deflected from the pledge to leave the European Peoples party [the main centre right grouping inside the European parliament]."
The chances of Mr Cameron being able to fulfil his commitment to take the Tories out of the EPP was dealt a blow this week when a Czech centre-right party dropped its plans to join the Tory MEPs in a new group until at least after 2009.
William Hague, the shadow foreign secretary, is due to make an announcement on the party's plans for a European grouping by the end of the month, but has now lost one of his main partners.
Mr Swayne also reports the degree of Euroscepticism on the backbenches, saying: "The EU constitution is being implemented not so much by stealth but quite openly, even if incrementally."
He also reports a queue of rightwingers wanting to see Mr Cameron, including Edward Leigh, who wants "to tell you to your face that you are the anti-Christ (he does not even want me there as a witness)".
It is the second tranche of emails sent by Mr Swayne to Mr Cameron to have surfaced in recent days. Previous ones revealed Mr Swayne's contempt for Mr Maude, distrust for shadow leader of the Commons Theresa May and the degree of concern about Mr Cameron's opposition to nuclear power.

How do dogs get diabetes?
Maybe this is a silly question, but i wanted to know how dogs get diabetes. My dog doesn't have it but is it something I should be worried about? Are certain dogs more prone to it? Are there preventative measures I can take?
Asked by

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I think much the same as people, too much and the wrong foods. Genetics plays a part too. Feed your dog a standard dog food and not too much of it and very little else.
Your dog definitely should be narrower at the waist than the hips and chest. You should be able to easily feel the ribs, but not see them. Each dog is different. Standard recommendations are a good place to start, but each dog must have its food and exercise adjusted to its individual needs. Here is a link to a good illustrated guide, www.longliveyourdog.com
Your dog may still get diabetes, but that will greatly reduce the chances.

The same way people get it. Like people, there can be diabetes from a congenetal condition present from birth, OR there can be type 2 diabetes where the pancreas suffers injury, usually due to acute pancreatitis, resulting from too much fat and/or sugar in their diet. The pancreas becomes inflammed and actually starts digesting itself, resulting in the death of the insulin producting cells. Like people, the later type is much more common in dogs, particularly dogs fed people food with too much fat and too much sugar. Sadly, many of the more popular Brand Name dog foods contain added sugar to increase their taste appeal, especially grocery store brands. Like people, most dogs respond well to insulin, in fact, human insulin is commonly used. Preventative measures would be to watch your dog's diet! Keep their weight within normal limits and do not feed lots of high fat, high sugar foods. Provide them with plenty of exercise as well.

Any low-quality dog foods that contain sugar or are grain-heavy. Dogs do not have the natural ability to handle massive quantities of carbohydrates very well, and most low-quality dog foods are FULL of them. Some are between 50%-75% carbohydrates! This can definitely be a cause for diabetes in dogs AND cats. I agree genetics can play a part, but this is best prevented by keeping the dog at a healthy weight and feeding a high-quality, meaty kibble or a raw diet.

High Carbohydrate dog foods. I look for dog foods with as little carb as possible. I'm currently using EVO with 12% carbs. lol compare that to stuff like Science diet with up to 60% carbohydrates. My friend has a 7 year old diabetic chihuaua. He used to eat Purina dog chow. He is now on Orijen senior and rarely requires insulin so food makes a dramatic difference.

Everyone has given good answers. I'd just add that diabetes can be caused by medication, as well.
Specifically, meds like Potassium Bromide can have the side effect of causing a very inflamed pancreas and this can cause permanent or temporary diabetes.
There are some other meds that can do this, but PB is often given to dogs for seizures and the side effects are generally reported by vets as milder than phenobarbital, but when this happens, it's quick, sometimes symptomless until it's too late. It's often fatal.
So, if your guy every goes on any kind of meds, be sure to ask the vet what side effects there are and make sure you get blood work done every six months to make sure the meds are going through his system ok. This really applies to ALL meds for any kind of side effect.

Would a local Sears mechanical shop be good? I also live around Anaheim so if anyone can throw in a specific shop would be nice as well. Also is it required or recommended to get it tuned after getting it all installed?

(NYSE: BKD) (the "Company") today announced that it has recently completed the acquisition of nine communities with a total of 1,295 units for an aggregate purchase price of $121.3 million, plus customary transaction expenses. The communities had previously been operated by the Company under long-term leases that were accounted for as operating leases. "Acquiring these communities gives us the opportunity to move forward with renovating and repositioning these assets to improve their financial performance. By owning these assets outright, we will capture the assets' entire value creation potential and preserve important optionality with respect to these assets, including the ability to expand some of these communities if we decide to do so or to dispose of those that may not fit our long-term strategy," said Bill Sheriff, Brookdale's Chief Executive Officer. The Company financed the transaction with $77.9 million of first mortgage financing secured by seven of the communities and $15.0 million of seller-financing secured by two of the communities. The $77.9 million first mortgage facility has a ten year term. 75% of the facility bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.21% and the remaining 25% of the facility bears interest at a variable rate of 30 day LIBOR plus a margin of 276 basis points. The $15.0 million mortgage loan has a two year term and bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.0%. Additionally, the Company announced that it had obtained a $63.0 million first mortgage loan secured by one of the Company's communities. The loan has a five year term and bears interest at a variable rate of 30 day LIBOR plus 300 basis points. In connection with the transaction, the Company repaid a $62.8 million first mortgage loan that was scheduled to mature in 2013. The refinancing transaction represents another step in the process of the Company's plan for addressing its 2013 debt maturities.

The biggest country superstar is back! Though only one date has been officially announced, legend Garth Brooks is planning on a World Tour with special guest Trisha Yearwood. Fans have been clamoring to see Garth Brooks return to the stage ever since his retirement over a decade ago and now everyone across the globe will have an opportunity to see him perform.
Thus far, the only date officially marked on the tour is September 4th at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. Garth Brooks tickets are currently available at Coast to Coast Tickets for as low as $245. Lower level tickets begin at $309, while floor seats will cost you a minimum of $705.
Brooks recently had to cancel five dates at Croke Park in Dublin, due to an agreement between the city and the stadium that limited the number of sporting events every year to three. Since they were unable to come to a compromise, Brooks decided it was unfair to cancel some shows and not the others, so the entire Dublin 'tour' was canceled. Although that controversy upset many, fans were obviously giddy when soon after, Garth announced his intentions for a much larger scale tour.

MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Authorities in central Pennsylvania have charged a woman in the hit-and-run death of her boyfriend, who they say was run over at the end of his driveway.
Esther Brubaker, 36, of Mechanicsburg, is charged in Cumberland County with homicide by vehicle and accidents involving death or injury.
Police allege that she struck and killed Jeremy Anderson, 34, with her minivan outside their home and then drove off, leaving him there.
District Attorney Dave Freed said the victim had noticeable tire marks on his body when he was found at about 5:45 p.m. Monday. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials said neighbors reported hearing an argument before the crash.
Brubaker remains in custody; court documents don't indicate whether she has an attorney.

Oct 12, 2012 - The Associated PressLARAMIE -- Darrenn White plays cornerback, per the University of Wyoming football roster.
But the sophomore started at strong safety in the Cowboys' 35-28 overtime loss at Nevada. White could see more time at safety this week as UW (1-4 overall, 0-1 Mountain West) hosts Air Force (2-3, 1-1) at 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Other defensive backs could play other positions Saturday -- and the rest of the season.
"With the secondary guys we have seven or eight guys that are interchangeable at different places," coach Dave Christensen said.
Christensen said he includes cornerbacks and safeties in that mix, but so far most of the changes have come at safety. More changes could come as senior free safety Luke Ruff left the Nevada game with an injury.

Assistant Professor of Dance Alysia Ramos performed her duet "Time Certainties Peace" at The Ohio Dance Festival on April 29, 2017, in Columbus, Ohio. This work, inspired by Paolo Coelho's text "The Good Fight" was made in collaboration with Ghanaian dancer Mustapha Braimah. Through dance and text, the work addresses the challenge of enduring in the fight for one's dreams in spite of obstacles both without and within. Oberlin Conservatory students Aliya Ultan (cello) and Patrick Graney (percussion) composed and performed musical accompaniment for the piece.
Professor Emeritus of Computer Science Richard M. Salter joined his colleague, Professor of Environmental Science Wayne M. Getz (University of California, Berkeley) to present a week-long workshop at Hong Kong University. The workshop entitled "Population Modeling/Quantitative Ecology Workshop using the NOVA Computational Software Platform," presented the mathematical techniques used in population modeling and demography, as well as resource, movement, and disease ecology, and showed how they can be applied to simulations created with Salter's Nova modeling system. Attendees were able to obtain hands-on experience with the new Nova 3 version of the software, which will make its appearance in Oberlin in the fall.
Salter is also continuing his collaboration with Oberlin College Professor of Psychology Nancy Darling. The pair are putting the finishing touches on a chapter that will appear in an upcoming book on collaborative modeling.
Associate Professor of German Elizabeth Hamilton delivered the keynote address at Bates College's May Conference on May 12, 2017. Hamilton's talk was titled "Universal Design and the Architecture of the Liberal Arts." This year's theme for the annual meeting on pedagogy and curricular design was "Beyond Compliance." The conference included small-group workshops on syllabus design and a student panel on learning styles and barriers to academic progress.

UK Immigration Law
Have UK Immigration Law Questions? Get Answers Now.
wrong category was choosen.. need imigiration law on this question!!
Hi, Got my indefinite to remain in UK in 1997. In 2003 I worked TKMAXX and had few stuff in my locker till I get paid anyways went to magistrate court for theft and got 40hr community service. Later in 2006 I went to crown court for Arson and handed 18month suspended sentence and 40hr community sentence which I did complete and since then I have not got in trouble with police. Now since this new law has introduced can I apply for neutralization and to get my British passport. I mean since I haven't been to prison will it count as a non-custodial sentence which I can apply after 3 years since finishing the sentence. It's been 7 years lapsed since my 18 month suspended sentence. Am I good to apply?? Regards
Hi, can you be little more specific as you just said yes you can apply but include all your convictions. I need little bit more specifics before rating your service.
So does this mean my 18 month suspended sentence that was received in june 2006 counts as a non-custodial sentence. Because before the new law they considered suspended sentence same as imprisonment and its has a rehabilitation period of 15 years before applying.
So what you saying is that my suspended sentence counts as non-custodial sentence which has a rehabilitation of 3 years before applying?
Hi, sorry to bother you again.. My wording regarding can I apply for neutralization now was actually referring to will my application be successful if I apply now and include all my convictions??

Hello everyone, I read a lot of documentation about items submissions and licenses etc. but still there are things that are not mentioned, for example I see Author X make an html template based on Author Y's PSD template and same thing for any other category.. Now considering that the Extended Licenses are much more expensive I don't see how an Author can be profitable if he makes an html file and buy an Extended Lisence of a PSD website design for hundreds of dollars and sometimes thousands and just expect himself to cover that and make a profit? Of course I'm guessing the Extended License is for when you "include" the PSD design with your template's files, that's understable to me but what about when you don't include it and just point the PSD Item to his respective maker? So in short, let's say I like a PSD design and I want to make an html version of that design, do I need to buy the Regular License and ask for permission from the owner? Or do I have to buy the Extended License? And if he gives me his permission, will he have a share of my revenue? Or All I have to do is link back to him? Also when I see a lot of Authors use images and titles in their item's description, now in the description box there is no mention of the html tags to be used in such case or is it just not mentionned? Any clarifications will be highly appreciated guys and thank you for taking the time to read this. – Youssef
Hello newgenthemes,
You can't sell a coded version of a PSD template without PSD author's permission, no matter if you buy Regular or Extended license. If you want to code a PSD from another author, you can do it in two ways:
1) Buy the exclusive rights from the author (The PSD author will give you an exclusive permission to code that PSD and all money that you earn from that coded version is yours, and yours only. The price tag for the exclusive rights varies from author to author, some will sell for a couple hundreds of dollars, some will ask for 1000+)
2) You and PSD author make a partnership, and agree to share profits from the coded version. For example, 70/30 means that you will get 70% of the earnings because you will also provide customer support, future updates for the file, etc, and the PSD author will receive 30%. Partnership is an less risky option than purchasing exclusive rights because you won't lose any money if the file sales are poor.
@Vlajki Thank you for the extensive reply, appreciate it Let's say I partnered with anther author, how can we proceed with our shares? Does Envato have anything to support partnerships or is it strictly between me and him (meaning I'll have to pay him directly and not automatically after each transaction?)
People have been asking for Envato to implement a feature to manage partnerships (e.g. multiple authors team up to produce a file, and agree on a revenue split, and Envato pays out according to the agreed-upon percentages), but so far it has not been implemented. For now, you have to use one account to submit the item, and that account owner pays the other author. You have to trust each other for this. I think the cleanest way to do it is to just buy exclusive rights to a PSD and then you keep all the profits. This will be more expensive up front ($100's to $1000's), and there is some risk if the item doesn't make much profit, so make sure you can handle that risk. Another option is to just hire your own designer to develop PSD's and assign the rights to you from the beginning. Then you can submit the PSD yourself, and later HTML, WP, etc. all under one account. Again there is the risk that the items don't sell, but the risk is lower because you can also profit from the PSD.
No problem As @fillerspace said, that's the only way to send money to your partner. If you're afraid of copyright breaches, you can visit this thread where I've discussed more about protecting your work
@fillerspace They should definitely implement something like that, it'll make things way easier on authors to team up! Thank you for your reply

Thanks for all those lovely dreams and comments last week. It is great to see you here, as always, so on with the challenge for this week's dream...
The theme this week is fun and games, so you have a wide interpretation here. I chose to do some images from the UMount Bingo sheet and my embellishments are from a little shadow box project I did with Stamp Addicts moons ago!! It was a tic tac toe, or noughts and crosses game I think, and we removed the these tiles to stamp and alter the tray... great fun - here it is, I don't think I ever posted it before!!!
So I hope you have a good week, and have fun and games with this week's dream, but don't forget to use at least one real stamp.
Love and Light

The CSS Box ModelBy Adam Roberts
Your understanding of the box model concept, and how it relates to the way in which an element's final dimensions are determined, will be essential to your understanding of how an element is positioned on a web page. The box model applies to block-level elements. A companion concept, the inline layout model, defines how inline elements are positioned, and is covered in Inline Formatting.
Calculating Box Dimensions
In CSS2.1, block-level elements can only be rectangular. We calculate the overall dimensions of a block-level element by taking into account the height and width of the content area, as well as any margins, padding, and borders that are applied to the element.
We can define the content width of an element by declaring its
width and
height properties. If no declarations are applied, the default value for the
width and
height properties is
For static (non-positioned) elements, and relatively positioned elements where the
width property has the value
auto, the computed width will be the width of the containing block minus any horizontal margins, borders, padding, and scrollbars. That is, it will be whatever's left over when horizontal margins, borders, padding, and scrollbars (if any) have been deducted from the width of the containing block.
The containing block is the reference rectangle whose position and dimensions are used for relative calculations of descendant elements' positions and dimensions. Although elements are positioned with respect to their containing block, they're not confined by it, and they may overflow. In most cases, generated boxes act as containing blocks for descendant boxes. The full details of containing blocks are covered in Containing Block.
For floated or absolutely positioned elements (including elements for which
position is set to
fixed), a
width of
auto will make the generated box shrink to the intrinsic dimensions of its contents.
Previously, in CSS2, floated elements without a declared
widthvalue would not shrink to wrap their content; instead, they'd expand to the full width of their parent element. This behavior was changed in CSS2.1 to allow the shrink-wrapping to take place. However, in Internet Explorer 6 and earlier versions, a floated element with no declared
widthvalue will shrink to wrap its content as per the specifications unless a child element has a layout, in which case the floated parent will expand to fill the available content width of the parent.
It should also be noted that when a float (without a declared width) contains a right-floated child element, it will also expand to fill the parent's available content width in IE browsers up to and including version 7 (Firefox up to and including version 2.0 also exhibits this bug but, the problem appears to have been fixed as of Firefox 3.0 Alpha 6).
Therefore, it's always safer to specify an explicit value for the width of a floated element where possible, and thereby to avoid the buggy behavior described above. However, as long as you're aware of the problems mentioned above, you'll likely find that widthless floats can be useful in certain situations, such as fluid-width horizontal menus.
No matter how the content area is positioned, its
height value will be equal to the content height if no values have been declared for
height, or for
min-height and
Therefore, to ascertain the total space required to place an element on the page, add the content area's dimensions to any padding, borders, and margins that have been declared. Of course, an element may have no padding, border, or margins, in which case its dimensions will be dictated solely by its content.
If an element contains only floated or absolutely positioned elements, it will have no content at all, and its height will be zero. We'll discuss this more in Floating and Clearing.
Implementing the Box Model
The box model is best demonstrated with a short example. The calculation we'll use to ascertain the total space required to accommodate an element on the page (ignoring margin collapse for the time being—see below for more on this) will be as follows:
Total width = left margin + left border + left padding + width + right padding + right border + right margin Total height = top margin + top border + top padding + height + bottom padding + bottom border + bottom margin
Here's our example CSS—a rule set that contains declarations for all the box properties of an element that has the
.box {
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid #000;
margin: 15px;
The total size of the element above will be calculated as follows:
Total width = 15 + 1 + 10 + 300 + 10 + 1 + 15 = 352px Total height = 15 + 1 + 10 + 200 + 10 + 1 + 15 = 252px
The above calculation is depicted in Figure 1, which is taken from the element layout display from Firebug, the JavaScript and CSS development add-on for Firefox.
In Figure 1, we can clearly see the content area in the center, the padding around the content area, the border area, and the margin area. The outer edge of the content area is called the content edge or inner edge; the outer edge of the padding area is called the padding edge; the outer edge of the border area is called the border edge; and the outer edge of the margin area is called—you guessed it—the margin edge or outer edge.
You can see from this short example that, for this element to fit on the page, we'll need a space that's at least
352px wide and
252px high. If the space available is any smaller than this, the element will be misplaced, or will overflow its containing block. Note that Internet Explorer 6 and earlier versions will most likely stretch the containing block to accommodate this extra height, and could severely disrupt the layout. Other browsers will let the element overflow its boundaries, but will ignore the content.
Note: Watch Out for Collapsing Margins
Although margins are included in the above calculations for the total space required to place the element, note that vertically adjacent margins on static (non-positioned) elements would collapse into the bigger margin of the elements that are adjacent above and below. This means that the actual space required to place an element would not necessarily extend from the margin edges of elements existing on the page: only the biggest margin will apply, and the smaller margins will appear to overlap the bigger margins. See Collapsing Margins for the full details of this quite complicated subject.
Practical Considerations of the Box Model
An important point to note is that an element that has its
width set to
100% (that is, 100% of the content width of its parent element) shouldn't have any margins, padding, or borders applied, as this would make it far too big for the space that it sits in. This is often overlooked by authors and can severely disrupt a page's layout, as content will either overflow or push elements wider than they should be.
The solution, in most cases, is to avoid adding a value for the property
width (other than
auto), and to apply the margins, padding, and borders only. The
width property of a static element will default to
auto, and even with padding, borders, and margins added, it will still assume the full available content width.
Of course, this approach may not be feasible in some instances, such as cases where the element is not a static element, and requires the definition of a specific width value (as in the case of a floated element that doesn't automatically expand to fill its parent). In these cases, you have two options.
If the available space is of a fixed width, you can simply add the value of each component together to ensure that it matches the available width. For example, if the available space is
500px wide, and you require an element to have
20px padding, simply set the
width to
460px and the
padding to
20px for that element (
20 + 460 + 20 = 500). This solution assumes that the length values specified for the element's box properties use the same unit of measurement, since you won't be able to add together a mixture of units (
200px + 10%, for example, makes no sense in this context).
When the available content space has an unknown width—as in the case of a fluid layout—this method can't be used, as percentages and pixels can't be added together. In this case, the solution is to declare a
width of
100% for the element concerned, and to apply the padding, border, and margin values to a nested element instead. That nested element has no
width declaration, and can display the required padding, borders, and margins without encroaching on the parent element.
