I took a drive the other day and the silver Envoy found some neat places in Hardin County.
They were the fields of play for our children from long ago, it now seems.

i'm going to buy a hand gun within the next week or so and I've gone from wanting a glock (g17 or g19, 9mm) to a Beretta. My friend has one that he's only put a few hundred rounds through it. It's a Beretta 92fs (9mm) for $500 cash.
I've been looking in the local shop we have in California and you can get a Beretta m9 for $580 after rebate, or the 92fs for $550 after rebate.
What's the difference in the m9 and 92fs? Any guidance and recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

This in turn opens the door to the consideration of political and human rights issues, including victims of war crimes, and contributions with a comparative perspective are especially welcome.

This Journal focuses upon traditional areas of victimological research, such as offender typologies, the victim-offender relationship, victimization surveys, victim compensation, the victim in the criminal justice system, reparation and restitution by offenders, together with broader theoretical issues such as definitions of victimization and the philosophy of victimology. This in turn opens the door to the consideration of political and human rights issues, and contributions with a comparative perspective are especially welcome.
The International Review of Victimology operates a strictly blinded peer review process in which the reviewer's name is withheld from the author and, the author's name from the reviewer. The reviewer may at their own discretion opt to reveal their name to the author in their review but our standard policy practice is for both identities to remain concealed. Each article is reviewed by at least two referees. All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible.
All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the article should be listed as authors. Principal authorship, authorship order, and other publication credits should be based on the relative scientific or professional contributions of the individuals involved, regardless of their status. A student is usually listed as principal author on any multiple-authored publication that substantially derives from the student's dissertation or thesis.
The International Review of Victimology publishes articles and book reviews. It is also pleased to receive proposals for special themed issues, which would normally consist of a brief introduction and 5 ? 6 articles. Book reviews are not published in themed issues.
1. Articles: Theoretically informed analysis of contemporary issues and original empirical research.
2. Book reviews: A list of up-to-date books for review is available from the Journal's Book Review Editors.
We do not set a maximum word length for articles or book reviews, but they should be written as concisely as possible. We are reluctant to burden our referees with very long article manuscripts. Authors who suspect that their articles will have to be cut should make the required deletions prior to submitting the article. Articles are peer reviewed while book reviews are reviewed by the journal's book review editors. All material is read by the Executive Editor, who also reviews introductions to themed special issues.
3. How to submit your manuscript
Before submitting your manuscript, please ensure you carefully read and adhere to all the guidelines and instructions to authors provided below. Manuscripts not conforming to these guidelines may be returned.
Articles should normally be sent by e-mail to email@example.com together with an abstract of not more than 200 words and up to five keywords. Articles should be in Microsoft Word or in a word processing programme which can be imported into Word. (Please note that we also reserve the right to request a hard copy.) If necessary, articles can be sent by airmail, to Joanna Shapland, School of Law, University of Sheffield, Bartolome House, Winter Street, Sheffield, S3 7ND, UK. Authors should aim to be concise and those wishing to submit longer papers should consult one of the Editors beforehand. Submission of a paper for publication implies that it is an original work not being considered for publication elsewhere, and that on acceptance the copyright is transferred to the publisher. In other cases, the author should consult the Executive Editor.
Book reviews should be sent directly to the Book Review Editor: Tinneke Van Camp (email@example.com), INTERVICT, Tilburg University, Room M 732, PO Box 90153, 5000 LE Tilburg, The Netherlands
Any queries and any proposals for themed special issues should be directed to the Executive Editor, Joanna Shapland (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Rays' Starting Rotation Depth Goes From Surplus To Deficit
Jamal has been a writer for Bleacher Report since 2010 focused strictly on the Rays. He has had his work featured on websites such as Forbes, USA Today, CBS Sports, Houston Chronicle and the LA Times. Jamal is a special correspondent for 620wdae.com covering the Tampa Bay Rays.
In two weeks the Tampa Bay Rays starting pitching depth has transitioned from a surplus to a deficit.
The names Alex Cobb, Matt Moore, Jeremy Hellickson and Alex Colome normally might sound like the pieces of a future rotation that can continue the Rays' winning ways past the likely departure of David Price. Instead, they are the starting pitchers that are unavailable as the team enters the third week of the season.
Cobb is the latest pitcher to be added to the disabled list with a strained oblique following his start Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. He is expected to be out four-six weeks.
Just a few days prior to that Matt Moore was sent to the disabled list with elbow soreness that may require Tommy John surgery depending on the outcome of his throwing sessions this week. Even if the sessions go well, the Rays may still decide to rest him for a while longer.
Coming into the season Hellickson was already out until at least June. He told WDAE's Steve Duemig on Opening Day that even if he felt ready sooner, he doubts if the team would let him pitch. It would be even more illogical for the team to try to rush him back now with two more starters down.
The Rays now have to piece together a rotation that can provide the team with quality starts so they can stay among the top of the AL East.
This could have been an opportunity for Colome to add value to the Rays and fill-in for a few starts. Since he is unavailable due to his suspension for 50 games due to testing positive for PED.
The three-man competition for the fifth starter job in spring training now looks like it could be the back end of the rotation until players return. This is not good.
Using Cesar Ramos as a starter means the bullpen does not have an experienced long reliever. Heath Bell, Jake McGee and Joel Peralta are not the men for that task. Opponents are batting .300 against Brandon Gomes and .320 against Josh Lueke which leaves some concern to leave them in for extended innings.
Erik Bedard has rejoined the team after being passed over for the rotation initially and not signing a major-league deal with any other club. Perhaps this is his time and he can show his potential and fill the void seamlessly.
If the replacement pitchers can do their jobs as the next men up, all is well. If not, the next six weeks can feel like an eternity for the Rays.
Someone better wrap Price and Archer in bubble wrap.

text: SYDNEY, Jan. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The dangers of smartphone addiction are well documented, but few address the problem. Moodoff Day is providing smartphone users around the world with the opportunity to bring awareness to the problem by turning off technology for five hours during International Moodoff Day on Sunday Feb. 24, 2013. This year's slogan is "Smart hours for Smart people without smartphones". (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130117/PH43734LOGO ) "Why is it called Moodoff Day?" asked Tapas Senapati, founder of the movement. "Because when we ask somebody to stop browsing for a minute their entire mood is off. People discuss smartphone addiction, but the true message is getting lost in all the discussion." The Sydney, Australia-based non-profit organization is asking smartphone users around the globe to stop using their devices for five hours on last Sunday of February. Participants are asked to enjoy a morning without technology by having breakfast and reconnecting with family for a few hours before browsing on their smartphones during Moodoff Day. The movement has gained support in dozens of countries, from the UK and South Africa to Singapore and the United States. Moodoff Day highlights the obsession many users have with their smartphones and texting while driving. The organization supports the efforts of U.S. residents, Clay and Shauna Sauer, to enact a ban on driving and texting. The couple, now biggest supporters of Moodoff Day campaign, lost their daughter, Taylor, in a horrific accident shortly after she posted a message on Facebook. In an era of instant communications and a wealth of social media sites, smartphone users are constantly surfing the Web, texting and updating their social media status. Many with an addiction are in denial about their dependency, despite the inability to be separated from their smartphone.

General Disabled Parents Chat(116 Posts)
Several people have suggested that we should have a general rather than specific chat for parents with disabilities so I thought I'd start it!
I'm weegiemum, I've got 3 kids at 8,10,12. I have an ongoing neurological condition called CIDP, which gives me numb hands and feet, arms and legs, lower face, and altered predation so I can't tell where my lower limbs are if I can't see them!
The result is I have no balance, limited walking ability, have a wheelchair and walking aids, and can't do fine motor stuff. Sewing, writing, cooking, knitting etc all ruined.
Just wondered if, whatever you've got, however you're disabled, you might like to join in here!!
Hi Lauz8710. I have a muscle wasting disease too, which mostly affects my core muscles, legs and breathing. My little girl is 18 months. I was able to take her out on my own before, but now she's mobile it's getting more difficult. I can't pick her up from the floor or run after her so I need someone with me to go out most of the time. I had an awful situation in a car park the other day. She wouldn't get in the buggy so we both ended up having to sit on the floor until her tantrum was over! People looked at me very strangely! She's very independent and climbs in/out of buggy, high chair etc, but she's developing her free will at the moment and pushing the boundaries! I have to make everything into a game so she cooperates with me
Hi everyone, i have an un diagnosed form of Congenital Myopothy, I can only walk short disatances and have weak arms causing problems with simple things like brushing hair, teeth ect, I have a gorgeous little boy whose 2 and a half but because of my condition I can't take him out on my own much which is really frustrating, is there anyoneone with a similar condition out there?
Btw I have dd(9), who also has dcd and ds(6).
Hello, another "invisible" disability here - psoriatic arthritis
doesnt look invisible to me when I'm all swollen, but other people seem to think I'm overdramatising it
Have been struggling carrying on as normal as possible for a year since I was diagnosed, housework is never done and DH is struggling being carer/working full time, so am determined to do anything I can to "help" it.
Oo btw, mum of two boys, 16m and 2.10
Hi everyone, great to read the posts (manged about half atm). I suffer with epilepsy and DCD(dyspraxia).
The main problems I have as well as 'not looking disabled', are that my memory is really bad, to the extent that I can forget what someone has said the second they stop talking. I also find it hard to do things in the right order, makes cooking and housework complicated! People who don't have the condition can not seem to understand that I do actualy listen to what they r saying just can't always understand what they r saying even the most basic things like make me a cup of tea. I also spend half my time walking around the house trying to remember where I put things and what I came in to get!!
I also find it hard to 'get to the point' and to know when to stop talking so sorry my posts will probably be very long winded.
Hi, I'm a mum of three. I have a prosthetic leg and hip replacement. I also have a seizure disorder,
I just want to cry right now. There is a thread in AIBU about a woman who pulled a customer up on her attitude towards disabled people. I am also sad and hurt by the comments being made by other posters, things like "people have to stop being overly sensitive about disability"
I just don't know how not to be sensitive since I AM DISABLED...
I am sorry if I posted in the wrong place. My heart just hurts..
hi im mum to my 1 month old son and my disability is that I had a brain tumour when I as 11. My partner is disabled to he was hit by a car when he was 4 and can only use his left side. We've found these first weeks hard with child services and are hoping it will get better sometime soon.
I believe they are introducing free nursery placements for 2 year olds for parents that receive certain benefits ESA being one of them. worth having a look in to.
I don't qualify because my ESA is contribution based
Hello :-) I've posted before further down and on different topics.
I'll re-introduce myself briefly.
I'm now 27 and have a 10 week old baby girl and a 2 year old boy. I'm a wheelchair user and have multiple chronic health problems (wont list them all)....I use a wheelchair because I've had past 3 burst fractured vertebrae, both fractured feet, and damage (incomplete) to my spinal cord and nerves, in an accident.
I have a blog which I occasionally update
I made a Facebook group a while ago called disabled parents unite.
It's a private / request to join group. Feel free to search for it and ill add you in.
I am disabled mum with Narcolepsy and Cataplexy.
My son who, s 6 has special needs.
Trying to get a diagnosis and the correct help in school has become unbearable I try not too worry or take things personally but its so hard especially as I dont no whats wrong with him he went on a school trip and gave away his biscuits well he gave everyone in the class one I got upset with the school for letting him im not a bad person I just worry about him.
Sometimes I feel like nobody understands how hard it is I wish there was more support because most of the time its other people's lack of understanding that makes life hard more than the disability itself.
fizzbizz yes I am in the same situation as you. I have a 9 year old daughter and a 2 year old daughter. I am pretty much on my own with the little one all day. I find it really hard to go out on my own with her and either have to wait for dh to get in from work or get my other daughter to come and run round after the toddler. I have GBS and fibromyalgia.
I have a very active two yr old boy. My mobilty is greatly reduced due to Multiple Sclerosis which is a degenerative disease. My husband works full time which means I mind our son. I cannot leave the house with him on my own. I don't get any help with childcare. Is there anyone in a similar situation?
Mumonwheels - just wondered how you are getting on with your baby? I always meant to come back to this thread but don't use mumsnet very often. If you are still using mumsnet I'd love to hear how you are xxx
It sounds like you are in the best place then, I have always found the NHS a mixed blessing. The only time I need much care is when they've tried to help.... I believe I'm only blind because if the treatment I had on the NHS as a child (but there are no records so it's hard to know for sure)
It's the paying for healthcare that prevents us moving. I get a treatment once a month at a cost of about £8000 and we'd never get insurance. Also, the one good thing is that I've got an excellent neurologist and our local hospital is on of the top places for treatment in the uk, if not the world. I'm very, very grateful for the NHS!
:-( I've vetoed moves to the US and Canada. Canada was a pipe dream but Dh had a job offer the US (when little Lola was 2) and I made him turn it down (well I said I couldn't go with him) I don't think he will ever really stop resenting that, but he has stopped me from having my dream too (not that itstit for tat, we just didn't have the same life plan) . Staying together has meant neither one of us can be truly happy I think.
The worst of it is I lived in the US before I met Dh so he feels the injustice, but I was a student living in a dorm on a big campus, with everything I needed provided, not a mum to a disabled child living in the suburbs (with a dh working 80h weeks!) with no job or transport...... Or childcare..... And paying for health care.....
Aw thanks Lola. I think that it's settling in to my mind now that this is not only lifelong but slowly degenerative. We had always planned to go and work in Latin America, it was our dream. But it's not to be, and it's hard to let the dream die. Dh has been very depressed because of this. I feel like I'm hurting him by being disabled.
{{{hug}}} I know exactly how that feels. Dh is making some choices at the moment which would be fine if I wasn't a physical wreck. I feel so useless because there is so much stuff I can't do anymore, I used to have hobbies, and a social life! Now I have health care routines and hospital appointments.
I just came on to whinge. I'm feeling terribly down about my disability right now. I miss the things I can't do anymore. I feel such a burden on my lovely dh and family. I hate living with this. I hate being pleased that I managed to fond a nice walking stick. I just want normality, but it's not ever coming back. Just feel very hopeless and sad.
Don't know! Was advised on what to do until the stitches were taken out, after that it was "take it easy", and that was it! So I guess use it, but don't overdo it (which is what I think I've done!).
It seems I can't spell physio today
Gp was no help for me, just told me to wait to talk to specialist. I missed a call about pysio today whilst having a migraine. I hope that will be helpful (although I have encountered 2 brands of physio from my hospital, hand on (helpful) and just lots of talking (if only talking about it could take away the pain! It's pysio not counselling ffs!!)
The thing that worries me most is I don't know if I should be resting hand or using it? What were you advised to do?
Sorry to hear that Lola, sounds like the underlying problem (pins and needles sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome) hasn't been fixed at all. Mine is better in that sense, just the surgery has caused more problems. I'm on maternity leave, but there is no way I would be able to manage either the driving or the typing my job entails at the moment. I was told to expect to be back at work probably after 2 weeks, 4 weeks at most
Have you seen your GP? Am thinking I need to...
My hand is very weak and over sensitive. I can't lift anything heavier than a cup, I can grip or squeeze at all and I have a very physical job which I'm really not able to do 6 weeks on..... I have pain in my wrist now as well as the original pain in my fingers and my fingers go dead during the night, I'm waking regularly with pins and needles. I don't know if I should be resting it still or trying to get some strength back,

Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. would have celebrated a birthday this week (December 9, 1909 – May 7, 2000) and in tribute I present three entertaining examples of his work. These are distinguishable not only by way of the different mediums, but by his role in each.
First, from 1949 – NBC Theater presents the Screen Director's Guild production of "The Exile" starring Doug and co-starring Raymond Burr. Need I say Doug had a wonderful voice for radio? Thought not.
Next is the only full episode I found of Rheingold Theater, a half-hour anthology series that ran from 1953 to 1957. Doug Fairbanks, Jr. narrated, produced and frequently starred on the show. Although for obvious reasons I would have liked to feature an episode in which he starred, it's difficult to dismiss this one titled, "The Awakening," which stars the one and only, Buster Keaton in a dramatic role. The handsome, Mr. Fairbanks presents the show.
Finally, a wonderful treat by way of the classic television game show, Password in which Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. plays opposite Joan Fontaine.
To Doug in remembrance.

Go! Go! Go! Stop! by Charise Mericle Harper
Little Green says it loud and proud at the construction site: "GO!" The bulldozer, mixer, crane and other trucks try to follow his instructions to finish making a bridge. But things get crazy when all they do is "GO, GO! GO!" A stranger in town named Little Red introduces a new word: "STOP!" Can these opposites work together to make traffic smooth? Written in short, expressive sentences, this picture book will be a hit during story time and at home. Kids who like trucks will love these happy characters with their illustrated smiley faces and cool hats, plus they will learn about traffic lights, colors, symbols, and of course, collaboration! (ages 2-5)
Maple by Lori Nichols
Maple loves her maple tree. It was planted for her when she was a baby. She sings to it in summer, gives it her jacket when fall ends, and throws snowballs with it in the winter. The seasons come with changes, and spring brings the biggest change of all: a new baby in the family! Illustrated with soft earth tones and written in simple sentences, this story offers simple wisdom on transitions, new responsibilities, the joy of nature, and becoming a big sister. The homemade art gives this picture book a cozy and family oriented feeling. (ages 3-6)
Mama Built a Little Nest by Jennifer Ward
Did you know that wrens make nests in cacti and flamingos make nests out of mud? Kids will appreciate the diversity and wonder of nature as they learn about these "avian architects." Caregivers can easily turn this book into a fun sing-a-long with the rhythmic and repetitive rhyming style. Digital and collage styled art fill the pages and are accurate depictions of each bird species in their natural environment. This is a fabulous book for our future wildlife and bird hobbyists! Fascinating and sometimes advanced facts on the side will captivate adult readers' attentions, as well as a growing audience. This picture book will appeal to Eric Carle and Animal Planet fans alike. (ages 4-8)
Junkyard by Mike Austin
What happens when two robot machines stumble upon a bunch of junk? They clean it up! How do they clean it? They EAT it! These robots munch on rusty old school buses and slurp up stinky goop with a big smile on their face. But the day doesn't end there. Watch as these junkyard robots build a garden and fun space so that they can do what they do even better than cleaning: Play! Illustrated digitally, this vibrant book is friendly to young children, where even the junkyard looks like a messy rainbow. Each page consists of a four-line stanza that rhymes, making Junkyard a fun story to read aloud. (ages 4-8)

IAO Show Results
Posted in Snowmass Alpacas on March 21, 2013 by Administrator
Snowmass had an excellent showing at this year International Show. Our animals took many color champions and we went on to win Supreme Champion inboth male and female huacaya. A personal highlight is our Futurity auction lot #7, Snowmass Pure Passion (pictured at right), won Fawn Color Champion. Don't miss your opportunity to bid on him at this years Futurity Auction.
More Great TxOLAN Show News
Posted in Snowmass Alpacas on March 13, 2013 by Administrator
Mary and I wanted to brag a bit on our Snowmass Matrix Freedom. First off, we were asked if we would donate a breeding to Freedom for the TxOLAN auction, benefiting the organization. We were happy to help out, and his was among only four to be donated. After all was said and done, Freedom's breeding sold for a higher price than any of the others offered. In addition, none of the other herd sires were showing at the TxOLAN show, but we thought we would show him and double down on the marketing opportunity.
see our "ear-to-ear" grins, after Freedom took his Color Champion ribbon.
Freedom also had four offspring at the show and they all placed. One of the young males from Peeka Ranch won first place and came very close to winning color champ per the judge.
Please let me know if you need any additional info and Thank You and Julie again for your offer to place on your website.

2013 Spring Show Winnings with Snowmass Genetics
Posted in Snowmass Alpacas on March 07, 2013 by Administrator
Congratulations to Laurie McCallum of Happy Hound Alpaca Ranch
mendous show. Gracie took a first place and then the Light Color Championship and Alma took a 1st/CC in the fawn class and then was granted Judges Choice females of 2013. The judge had nothing but great comments from her structure to her fleece and even commented that in the entire line up she was the fineness of them ALL. I guess Fineness does matter. :) Could not be any happier for these girls and your outstanding breeding program. Thank you for sharing your amazing animals with us and look forward to the next generation.
All my best,
Winners at the 2012 Fall Festival Alpaca Show

AlpacaMania Winners!
Posted in Snowmass Alpacas on November 05, 2012 by Administrator
From Karen and Pat Kemberling:
Snowmass Continuum's Royal Roses just went color champion at Alpaca Mania in Oregon - lots of competition! And the white boy you sold Karen Ball also went champion, Snowmass Majesty in the Moonlight.
Then at Grass Valley last week, Calpaca, Snowmass Continuum's Royal Roses won her class and Snowmass Moonlight Majesty went color champion again!
They are both fabulous.
Karen and I are so happy with the animals we got from you. Thank you again!
Note from Snowmass: None of these Snowmass alpacas in our Winners Circle news were ever shown by Snowmass Alpacas before they were sold. It is the SNOWMASS promise that we offer show quality, show ready, and genetically supreme alpacas, so the new owners of Snowmass genetics can have the opportunity to win for themselves and their breeding programs.

Corporate Responsibility
At Marfood USA, we believe one of the most important measures of character a successful company can demonstrate is an understanding of its role and responsibility on a much larger scale. Based on these values, we are in continuous communication with our customer, consumer and supplier community to find more ways to improve social and environmental conditions. We also want to share what Marfood USA – Marfrig Group is doing for sustainability:
Marfrig Group has been, for a few years, developing pioneering actions towards the sustainability of the entire chain of meat-based foods in Brazil. This strategy of continuous improvement has led Marfrig to great results. For us and for the planet.
Continuously developed and improved, our system for purchasing cattle in the Amazon ensures that anaimals do not come from newly deforested or illegally occupied areas. All our products are guaranteed to source from rural properties to date with environmental standards.
More than a certification program for farms, it encourages farmers to use best management and social environment welfare practices. Farms certified by Marfrig Club have an international standard of management, resulting in high quality and healthy products in a sustainable and profitable business environment.
Last year, Marfrig was the first company in the industry to conduct an greenhouse gases emissions inventoryl not only in Brazil, but in 22 countries where it operates. Knowing its carbon footprint was the key step to establish an overall strategy to reduce emissions. This year, Marfrig will also know the emissions of its suppliers, which will allow it to expand efforts to reduce the carbon footprint across its supply chain.
For a few years now, Marfrig has been gradually replacing the use of fossil fuels with renewable sources such as sugarcane bagasse, animal oil and certified wood. It also has been making improvements in its wastewater treatment systems such as, for example, the biodigesters that process organic materials into energy. Those in the Diamantino (MT) Seara unit generate enough energy to supply not only the entire agroindustrial complex; it generates as much energy as to supply a town of 8,500 inhabitants.
In 2010, Marfrig Group prioritized energy from renewable sources. The results of this strategic decision and the commitment of all its professionals is being celebrated this year: 87 percent of the use of all electrical and thermal energy in Brazil now comes from renewable sources.
Through partnerships and the supply of seedings, Marfrig Group has been encouraging the planting of eucalyptus for the continuous generation of renewable energy and environmental security for farmers and their agricultural facilities. In addition, we maintain Group-owned forests and leased areas, and all wood consumed in its operations is obtained from a legal and sustainable management.
Also in a pioneering way, Marfrig Group is the first in the industry to understand how water is used throughout the production chain. Using the Water Footprint Network methodology, we have mapped the use of water from the source of farm inputs, such as corn and soybeans, to the final processing of its products. This initiative was recently recognized by Brazilian magazine IstoÉ Dinheiro, which elected Marfrig as one of its "50 Good Companies."

Weight Loss Programs
 The American Heart Association is now telling us that 2/3 of all americans are overweight and 1/3 of them are obese. There are many diets for people to try, but they don't always work. And sometimes, those people end up taking another approach, a surgical one. We see how that approach is working for one North Central Florida man as we continue our weight loss program series.
Like magic, the pounds are disappearing off of Carl Buz. But there's no slight of hand here, a medical device is helping him eat less. It's been almost two months since Carl had his Ingestable Gastric Banding or Lap Band surgery. When we first talked to Carl about four weeks ago he was weighing 295 pounds. He had lost forty three pounds just ten days out of his procedure. He now weighs 285.
Director of Bariatric surgery at Shands, Dr. Kfir Ben-David adds that for band patients, the average weight loss is about 40 to 50 percent of their excess body weight. This procedure is suppose to be less evasive than the Gastric bypass. Dr. David sayS," It's the surgery plus dietary changes, psychological changes, exercise changes. i think this surgery as a whole allows these patients to regulate the amount of food and it's sort of a new lease on life for them".
The real trick is staying active by excercising and eating less. And now lighter he feels better , and staying active is not a burden. Doctors had put Carl on a one year plan, but Carl is confident he will exceed their expectations. He plans to take it off in eight months. His goal is to get between 195 to 205. While he's not there yet, people are already noticing the difference.

holy shit thats amazing!
Holy crap, they look soo real lol.
They look amazing. Must taken ages on them! guy at the top got bad case of 'chippy tit' tho
"tonight we dine in hell....or dominoes"
i need some inspiration for my 1st tat tbh. i want something with alot of just block colour, like a tribal desgin. but not REALLY tribal. gunna be a big peice, either a arm sleave, or a peice on the shoulder, left pec, and left abs. anyone have any ideas of sites i can look at?
This is not a gif. It is an actual video of Fedor doing infinate press ups.
I should hopefully be getting my first tatt tomorrow, getting 'yamato damashii' on my shoulderblade, if they manage to squeeze me in tomorrow I'll post some pics.
My website now has a new domain, check it out - www.modernviolentgentlemen.com
When you say shoulder/left pec/left abs, do you mean the entirity of those body parts? That would be a massive tattoo mate. I wouldn't have the tat going over to the back of your shoulder either, if you do that then it's going to need to go down to your lower back and around your ribs to look really good imo. Otherwise, you're best off just sticking to having it only on your front.
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
i kinda meen like this... http://z.hubpages.com/u/285430_f260.jpg
i like the placement and the tribalish look but id prefer something that i like 100% rather than just copy a design i like sorta 80% ya know. the little twirls are just gay and id prefer something along the lines of yours. but yeah, i was thinking of going into the tattoo place near me, and finding out about it etc. but its a real badass biker type place so id probably get laughed out lol.
This is not a gif. It is an actual video of Fedor doing infinate press ups.
Yeah, it's best to have something custom. Don't have flash (been there, done that, luckily only had small bits I'm going to get covered) and definitely don't copy a design you see online.
I drew mine out myself. Some places could be better (inner upper arm) but there is scope to sort it out so it's cool.
Most tattoo places are full of pretty cool, laid-back people, I wouldn't worry about going there. If they are dicks, don't go back!

Mayhem # 735799
About Me
I have worked with local Seattle Photographer Alastair Lockett, Christian Peterson, the House of Gord team, George Pitts in NYC and many others.
I am a former professional modern dancer with ballet and theater training, a Yogini and Exotic dancer among other things. I love the outdoors so difficult climates etc. are a challenge I enjoy on a shoot. I grew up in Central Oregon and LA, CA and believe this has helped me learn to adapt to unusual situations/environments which translates well on film.
I'd love to co-create pin up, commercial, erotic, artsy, edgy and unusual work. Diverse is my nature. Most photographers I have worked for comment on my ability to collaborate and bring fresh ideas to the table throughout our work together while bringing my theatrical training to the experience.
Generally I won't work for trade but if it is an interesting enough offer and I like your work enough, I will consider it. I am very professional because I consider this part of how I make a living, hope you understand.
I will travel most places as long as expenses are paid in full.
I reserve the right to bring an escort to the shoot if I choose. If you are uncomfortable with respecting this then you probably won't be someone I want to work with. My escort will not interfere with the shoot in anyway and will most likely quietly read a book near by.
Because I juggle many jobs, I ask that if you make appointments to meet me or do a shoot, please keep the appointment. Your time=money and creative enjoyment…so does my time.
I am open to all styles of photography.

Physical Therapy
Physical Therapists specialize in treating disabilities related to motor and sensory impairments. They are trained in all aspects of anatomy and physiology related to normal function, with an emphasis on movement. They assess the patients strength, endurance, range of motion, gait abnormalities, and sensory deficits to design individualized rehabilitation programs aimed at regaining control over motor functions. Physical therapists help survivors regain the use of impaired limbs, teach compensatory strategies to reduce the effect of remaining deficits, and establish ongoing exercise programs to help people retain their newly learned skills. Disabled people tend to avoid using impaired limbs, a behavior called learned non-use. However, the repetitive use of impaired limbs encourages brain plasticity and helps reduce disabilities. In general, physical therapy emphasizes practicing isolated movements, repeatedly changing from one kind of movement to another, and rehearsing complex movements that require a great deal of coordination and balance, such as walking up or down stairs or moving safely between obstacles. People too weak to bear their own weight can still practice repetitive movements through facilitation from skilled hands, through FES (functional electric stimulation) and being partially supported by a harness.Read More
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy services provided are individualized to each patient's needs and may include: self-care management training (training for self-bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting), strengthening, flexibility training, cognitive training and instrumental activities of daily living training (cooking, cleaning, finance management). All of the activities performed will assist the patient in maximizing his/her independence in daily life, with the ultimate goal of returning the individual to his/her previous level of function. Occupational therapists also teach people how to develop compensatory strategies and change elements of their environment that limit activities of daily living. For example, people with the use of only one hand can substitute hook and loop fasteners (such as Velcro) for buttons on clothing. Occupational therapists also help people make changes in their homes to increase safety, remove barriers, and facilitate physical functioning, such as installing grab bars in bathrooms.Read More
Speech Therapy
Neurological injury commonly results in disorders of speech, language and swallowing therefore speech therapy is a vital component in the rehabilitation process. Neurological conditions can cause individuals to have difficulties understanding and expressing verbal language (aphasia) as well as with reading, writing and pictorial communication. Weakness, or lack of coordination in the muscles used for speech (dysarthria), can cause speech to be slurred and unclear together with difficulties controlling the volume and pace of speech. Individuals very often experience swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) which are not only extremely frustrating but may also be a safety concern as the individual may be at risk of aspirating their food and choking. Speech and Language Therapists specialize in the assessment and retraining of this essential skill so that the individual can mobilize the food more efficiently in their mouths and work towards achieving a safe and effective swallow. They will work closely with the individual and their families to maximize functional speech and language skills and establish the best long term management plan possible.Read More
Auditory Integration Treatment
Berard auditory integration training (AIT) is an intervention developed by Dr. Guy Berard to correct or improve auditory hypersensitivity, distortions, and delays in the signals that interfere with an individual's ability to process auditory information normally. Inconsistencies and distortions in the way sounds are perceived can make it difficult to interpret auditory stimuli. In addition, Dr. Berard states that the ears must work together in a coordinated fashion. If the hearing in one ear is different from the other, the person may have auditory processing problems. This lack of coordination between the ears contributes to difficulties in following directions, comprehending what is said or read, and putting thoughts into words. Dr. Berard also states that some people hear certain frequencies much better than other frequencies. When this occurs, the person perceives sounds in a distorted manner, may be easily distracted, and may have difficulty understanding auditory information. According to Dr. Berard, these auditory problems are factors that contribute to disorders such as learning disabilities, attention deficit, dyslexia, hyperactivity, central auditory processing disorder, sensory processing disorder, autism and pervasive developmental disorder.Read More

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA — Google opened its first data center in The Dalles, Oregon, seven years ago. Since then, the company has spent billions rolling out new state-of-the art server farms on four continents. It's been an incredible building binge, and the company has no idea when it's going to stop.
According to the guy who's been in charge of Google's servers for nearly 15 years now, the company has five-year data projections about how much capacity it will need, but he doesn't put much stock in them. "We don't believe our own numbers. The error bar is just too high," says Urs Hölzle, Google's Senior Vice President for Technical Infrastructure. "Five years ago, you basically didn't have an iPhone, you didn't have app markets. YouTube was much smaller. Facebook basically didn't exist… It was just a radically different world. So who am I to say that I can know how the world five years from now is going to be radically different? I kind of know it is going to be, but I can't tell you which ways."
But that cloudy future doesn't have Hölzle worried. Servers and smartphones have a symbiotic relationship. Faster processors, cheaper memory, and new power saving techniques may be pushing people to use more of Google's services, but they're also boosting the servers in Hölzle's data centers. "These same technology trends that make it cheaper for you to consume more bandwidth are also the ones that make it cheaper to serve that bandwidth or that storage or that computation," he says.
Google would like to host as much of the world's data as it possibly can. It wants your email, your documents, your videos, and your photos too. But as the work of processing this data has moved into big data centers, they've come under scrutiny. Are they marvels of technological efficiency? Are they power hogs?
The truth is, they're a bit of both. Over the past decade, companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook have done a lot to make sure that most of the power that they use goes toward running servers. They've cut back on power-hungry air conditioning systems by redesigning the air flow in their data centers and allowing them to run much hotter than they once did.
Most of corporate America runs its servers at about 10 percent utilization, according to a McKinsey estimate. Google is much more efficient than that, but even so, it's proving to be hard to keep all servers busy at all times. Google's servers use between 30 percent and 80 percent of their compute resources, depending on what kind of job they're doing, Hölzle says. The company's web crawlers and indexing servers can keep pretty busy, but Gmail servers slow down at night when people are sleeping. "If you do Gmail, well, during the day, people send more email than at night," he says.
"Realistically, you can't get above 50 percent average utilization," Hölzle adds.
Right now, the industry is only starting to talk about how server utilization should be measured and what that even means. In March, eBay went public with a wealth of information about its own data center power use and efficiency, but Google has been more tight-lipped. The company won't even say how many servers it operates.
But Google has fostered a remarkable effort to change the way its data centers are powered. The company has cut deals with utilities to ensure that its power is comes from renewable sources like wind and solar farms. On Thursday, Google invited representatives from a wide range of technology companies, including Microsoft, HP, and Intel, to its campus to discuss the role of the internet on the environment (it kicked off with former Vice President Al Gore lecturing attendees: "data centers now waste up to 90 percent of the energy they use," he said).
But according to Hölzle, the bigger energy problems have to do with the efficiency of desktops, routers, and mobile devices and the amount of energy — and the type of energy — used to build and power them. Right now about a third of Google's data center power comes from renewable sources like wind or solar. Eventually, that will be 100 percent, he says. The data center power problem is "sort of the easiest part to solve, because it's concentrated and we've been working on it for a long time," he says. "The rest of the internet is still pretty big."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Skateboard Park Cake
(I am putting this in this section because I couldn't find skateboarding in the drop down catergory box) This was a cake I made for my son's 13th birthday. This is my second cake with fondant. Everything but the little skateboards are edible. I stacked the sheetcakes and cut them into the forms that I wanted, then covered them in icing, and then fondant. To get the wood look for the ramp, I watered down ivory paste and brushed it on for the wood effect. I found grafitti font on the net, printed and cut it out of paper, and then traced it onto white fondan that I painted with colored gels. The cake gave me a hard time when trying to make square edges on the steps, so they aren't as sharp as I would have liked. It was trying, but fun to make and he loved it, so it was worth it. :-)
