Dieting is not an easy task to do. This requires lot of discipline, patience and time. Most of the people starve themselves while dieting which actually is a worse thing to do. Starving yourself will slow down your metabolism which actually results into weight gain. Also you will lose important nutrients from your body. Instead, while dieting if you eat right food in adequate quantity, do proper exercise and rest, you will be shedding weight much faster than by starving yourself. The following are the list of the foods which should be included in your daily diets to lose weight in proper manner.
- Honey: It's a sweet remedy for obesity. Honey dissolves extra fat deposits in the body and converts this fat into energy for normal body function. To get maximum benefit, take 10 gms (1 tbs) of Honey in a lukewarm water in early morning.
- Leafy Vegetables: It has the most essential part in the diet plan and nutrients available in vegetables improve person's health. Since leafy vegetables are less in calories and high in fiber, it make you feel full for a longer time. Avoiding green vegetables will deprive your body from the nutrients that is necessary to built immunity of your body.
- Curd: When you plan for diet, the first thing you avoid is a milk product which is actually very wrong. Milk is the main source of calcium and vitamins. Curd and buttermilk has probiotic microorganisms which will improve your digestion. It's also helps to cope up with stomach problems, osteoporosis, dysentery and vaginal infections.
- Moong Dal: Rich with Vitamin A, B, C and E and minerals such as calcium, iron and potassium, Moong Dal has very low fat content that is why it is recommended in many slimming programs. This lentil improves digestion, stabilizes blood sugar and lowers cholesterol level.
- Millets: Most consumed millets in Indian food are jowar, bajra, ragi. Millets are good in absorbing bad cholesterol which reduces the effects of heart attack. It's the best form of diet for obese or diabetic people.
- Garlic: Used by most of the Indians either in curry or chutney, garlic is a great healthy food for weight loss. It burns excessive fat in body and the anti-bacterial property helps reduce cholesterol and unhealthy fats.
- Turmeric: Known for its medicinal properties, Turmeric is used in India for more than 2500 years. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and antibacterial agents which are helpful in disinfecting cuts and burns. If consumed daily it prevents the formation of cancer cells in body.
- Cardamom: This spice is generally used in any food preparation to enhance the aroma. But Cardamom is an excellent food item when we think of weight loss. Cardamom enhances appetite and also helps those who suffer from acidity and gas.
- Chilies: This is one of very popular spices that are used in every kitchen around the world. Chili peppers contain several health benefiting compounds such as capsaicin, vitamin-C, vitamin-A, and flavonoid anti-oxidants that improves the digestion of the person.
- Watermelon: It's the juiciest fruit which contains 92% water and 8% good nutrients like Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, potassium and lycopene. Watermelon improves digestion and also gives you many important nutrients to boost your immunity.
Dieting should be done in the natural way rather than going for chemical based dieting pills as they tend to have major side effects on your body. Instead of starving, eating balanced food with right exercise will give you the body you always wished for.

Westlake Village, CA (PressExposure) December 20, 2009 -- Sinus pain is to be expected when you have sinusitis. Pain can usually be felt in the upper teeth, between the eyes, in the ears and the face as well. Not only that, other symptoms can also be felt such as nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, coughing, sore throat, and fever just to name a few. Because of these symptoms, many people cringe upon the thought of having sinusitis flare-ups.
Sinus Pain and Sinusitis
Sinus pain is just one of the symptoms of sinusitis. When you have sinusitis, this means that your sinuses are infected or inflamed. Infection usually starts when there is blockage in your sinuses, impairing the normal drainage of mucus. Because of this, mucus is trapped inside the sinuses, along with bacteria, viruses, fungi and other unwanted elements. Where you feel sinus pain really depends on which of your sinuses are affected. If your frontal sinuses are infected, sinus pain can be felt above your eyebrows. Pain felt in the upper jaw, teeth and cheeks indicates infection in the maxillary sinuses. Infection is in the ethmoid sinuses when pain is felt around the eyes and sides of the nose. Lastly, sinus pain felt around the eyes and at top of the head and temples are signs of sphenoid sinuses being infected.
So who gets sinusitis? Actually, anyone can catch sinus infection and experience sinus pain. However, there are some people with increased risk of developing sinusitis. Those people suffering from allergies are identified to be of high risk. Constant exposure to allergens often triggers allergic reactions, which may cause swelling in the sinuses. Those with deformities in the nose that gets in the way of mucus flow are also prone to sinusitis. Also at risk are those people who are frequently exposed to infection, such as health workers. Finally, people who smoke are also prone to sinus infections as smoke causes irritation of the mucus membranes.
Home Remedies to Relieve Sinus Pain
When feeling sinus pain, it is hard to go on normally with your daily activities. If you are lucky, pain may only be mild and can be relieved with pain killers. But for some, sinus pain can become unbearable and debilitating. When you are feeling this way, there are some remedies you can try at the comfort of your home to relieve sinus pain. One of the most popular home remedies is nasal irrigation. The saline solution used in nasal irrigation is helpful in clearing out excess mucus and killing bacteria. Another home remedy recommended to soothe the inflamed sinuses and relieve sinus pain is steam treatment. Hot compresses to the face and taking hot showers also have the same effect.

so i used to be close with my friends until they got distance since this new girl came
lately I've been feeling depressed and i want to find a way to keep my mind off them so i dont cut
can u guys help?
Most Helpful Guy
The most important thing to understand is that cutting yourself will not make the problem go away. Yes, it's a cry for help, but nine times out of ten, there's no one to listen. On GAG, there are girls and guys that will always listen, even though we might be on the other side of the world. We have the time, and we want to listen. We do have some trolls here, too many for my liking, but you have to ignore them.
Make some friends here first. That will get your confidence going again. There are lots of girls and guys here that would be more than happy to chat with you by PM without getting pervy.21|10|0

What is it with Caucasians and cutting themselves?
Look, young one, just know that u cutting on yourself will only hurt you physically. Those bleeding scars won't magically appear on your friends' body and hurt them. Only u will feel the burning pain. You don't want that.
As far as your friends are concerned, I understand completely. It hurts like the dickens when they start hanging out more with someone who just got in the picture. What I've learned is that the people who truly love u will always stick by u and have your best interests at heart. Even if they haven't spoken to u in a few days, they'll still love u and treat u right.
True friends can't be taken away from you because y'all share a special bond that no one else has.
Have you tried getting to know the new girl? If u start spending one on one time with her and really get to know her, u might find your newest bff. Or, u could also find that she's the lousiest louse and could warn your friends about her.10|10|0
i knew her from 3rd frade she moved away i made new friends now she's moved back and my friends are leaving me
i hare the chick
- Show AllShow Less
they already know how i feel i haven't talked to them but i know they know how i feel by the way they look at me in the halls and no the girl hasn't changed
and why would care if u self harm or not in the first place? its not like were ever going to talk again so whats the point in caring about if i cut or not
One thing you have to learn, is to never attack those who are trying to help u. I'm not the one your mad at. You're the one who came to us and asked for advice.
Why do I care whether you'll cut or not? Because it's called caring about your neighbor. I don't have to know you personally to care about your mental health and your self-harming.

There's arguably no part of our nation that has seen or best understands the very real and harmful effects of bad trade deals more than right here at home. Sadly, this week will bring the three pending NAFTA-style Free Trade Agreements before Congress--the same deals with Korea, Panama and Columbia that we've known were on their way. Even worse, these fast-track "free" trade deals are all scheduled for a vote on the same exact day, with limited time for debate or opposition. I've fought these trade deals at every turn, and I'll continue my fight on the House floor this week.
Just as we saw with NAFTA and CAFTA, unfair policies will be pushed down onto our small businesses and working families, with no regard for the shape our economy is currently in, or where we all know it needs to be. The unfair framework of these deals will do nothing more than offshore more and more jobs, the absolute last thing the American people need. At a time when our main focus should be empowering our businesses and families, and getting government off the backs of those working to find success, we instead find ourselves on the brink of signing away entire industries and the livelihood of regions just like ours. I cannot support such a misguided and shameful thing.
The Korea Free Trade Agreement alone has the potential to be most damaging for our area, allowing products to cross our shores tariff-free on Day 1, after being made in countries like China and North Korea. The non-partisan Economic Policy Institute estimates that the Korea trade deal could potentially displace as many as 159,000 American workers, with much of the loss falling on our manufacturing sector--the jobs that build our economy.
Our domestic manufacturers have suffered enough, and it's time we show them the respect they deserve and stop offering them up as a bargaining chip with foreign nations. Our economy won't recover if we continue to gamble away the things that make us great. We've seen too much of this lately and we have to start keeping our promises, whether it's the promise to protect our seniors and veterans, or the proud men and women that clock in and out each day at the local mill or factory who only want a fair chance to make a living. We have to protect the industries that built America. They will bring about our economic recovery if given the chance to compete fairly.
I often remind my colleagues in Washington that the very definition of insanity is doing the same thing, over and over, and expecting different results. Sadly, that is precisely what we're seeing happen. Over the past 25 years, our nation has been sold the same bill of goods time and time again that promises jobs and prosperity, but has brought us the exact opposite. You can dress these NAFTA-style trade deals up in whatever fake facts or false logic you want, but the bottom line remains that they're bad for our country. Supporters of the deals have provided half-truths meant to avoid the larger overarching fact that these unfair deals further perpetuate the problems with our economy that we've seen in recent times. There is no incentive to shipping 60,000 American-made cars to Korea if the very same trade deal then allows over 600,000 Korean-made cars to enter our markets each and every year in return. The numbers just don't add up.
At their very core, these trade agreements are not "free" at all--there is a cost to them--the success of the American worker and our domestic industries. It is a race to the bottom. How much more of our manufacturing sector must be brought to the brink of destruction by trade deals that leave us with an unfair playing field for our workers and businesses, shipping job after job to other countries, along with countless American dollars, before folks wake up? I know and understand what NAFTA and CAFTA did to our area, and I'm fighting hard to remind other Members of Congress that they too have constituents back home who rely on these very same industries. We cannot blindly abandon the American worker in the name of foreign relations or for political reasons. A strong American manufacturing sector that is exporting products 'Made in the USA' is what will fuel our economic recovery, and we can't settle for less.
It is my honor to represent you in Congress, and I will continue to fight these unfair trade agreements at every possible step. I will proudly vote against all three of these bills this week, and I'll continue to honor the promise I've made to you to never put any interest above yours.

SpaceX Targets Next Mission December 16th From Vandenberg
Hawthorne, California-based SpaceX, the rocket company led by Elon Musk, is hoping to launch on its next mission on December 16th, launching from Vandenberg Air Force Base, just North of Santa Barbara. According to satellite constellation operator Iridium--best known for its satellite phones--it hopes to launch 10 Iridium NEXT satellites into low-earth orbit via the SpaceX Falcon on December 16th at 12:36pm PT. The launch is contingent on the FAA's approval for SpaceX to return to space after a catastrophic loss of a Falcon 9 in Florida on September 1st, which so far has blamed on issues with fueling procedures on the Falcon 9. Iridium says it expects to be the first company with a launch since the Cape Canaveral incident. SpaceX is not the only rocket launch provider which has been dealing with the uncertainty of getting to space; earlier today, a Russian Progress rocket, loaded with supplies for the International Space Station, was lost after launch in Kazakhstan.

(Photo: Business Wire)"One of the major challenges for in-dash navigation systems is to keep pace with the performance and feature-richness of consumer products," said Matt Munn, Garmin managing director automotive OEM. "Garmin's strong foothold in the consumer business has helped our auto OEM group to secure top rankings in satisfaction surveys. The new Gemini navigation core continues this success story by delivering even better performance and comprehensive customization options for automakers to meet their individual needs." Map drawing, route calculation and search are twice as fast with Gemini as compared to previous Garmin software. The performance advancements allow for the integration of advanced 3D city models that show realistic and beautifully rendered 3D graphics for better orientation. This includes navigable roads, parks, rivers, and textured buildings. Keeping maps and software up to date has never been easier: Gemini enables automakers to integrate automatic OTA updates. By allowing partial and incremental updates, the system can automatically connect using WIFI or LTE networks to download the latest changes to the road or POI database. Garmin provides an SDK that allows automakers to easily integrate Gemini into any in-dash system and fully customize every aspect, such as the navigation functionalities and live services as well as the look and feel of the user interface and maps to meet the design language of any system.

Rising global prices, due in part to US-led sanctions against Iran along with the weakening of the Sri Lankan rupee, have led the price of kerosene to rise 49 per cent, diesel 36.9 per cent and petrol 7.7 per cent in Sri Lanka.Adding to Sri Lankan frustration is the fact that the South Asian nation's only oil refinery works best with Iranian light crude.Colombo is also unable to receive payment of approximately $25m in lieu of tea sent to Iran due to the sanctions that began last June.Al Jazeera's Minelle Fernandez reports from Colombo, where some say smaller nations are the hardest hit by tougher sanctions against Iran.Source: Al Jazeera

The advent of real estate tycoon and TV show host Donald Trump at the White House has created uncertainty and fear on a global scale due to the unorthodox nature of both his views and of the way of putting them across.
Initially, Taiwan might have been one of the few countries happy about his pronouncements, thanks to the president-elect unexpectedly allowing President Tsai Ing-wen to talk to him over the phone. As the United States and Taiwan have not entertained official diplomatic relations since 1979, no serving presidents of the U.S. and Taiwan since have been holding direct talks, not even over the phone.
On the outer edge of the Trump Administration, former ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton recently even suggested the U.S. could move troops from current bases in Japan's Okinawa, where they are distinctly unpopular with local residents, to Taiwan.
Bolton, who has the reputation of a neo-con hawk, even said that a U.S. military presence in Taiwan would give troops "greater flexibility for rapid deployment throughout the region should the need arise."
Such wording, written in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, must have set even more alarms ringing in Beijing, which was already angry at President Trump over the Tsai phone call, his throwing doubt on the "One China" policy, and his tirades against China over trade issues.
However, in more recent days, the Trump Administration seems to have reverted to a more "classic" U.S. foreign policy on Asia.
The "walk back" has been led by two of the most senior members of the administration, Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Rex Tillerson, the oil executive appointed as Secretary of State.
During a tour of Asia, the former reaffirmed Washington's traditional close ties to Japan and to South Korea. Mattis underlined the importance of the U.S.-Japan Security Alliance, which could lead to both countries becoming involved in events in their periphery, such as a Chinese military attack against Taiwan. The alliance saw some of its provisions revised in 1997, the year after China lobbed missiles in Taiwan's direction due to its dissatisfaction with President Lee Teng-hui's election bid. China conducted several missile tests in its eastern coast between 1995 and 1996, while the U.S. sent aircraft carriers and claimed it as a precautionary measure.
Mattis also underlined Washington's support for Japan's claims over the Diaoyutai, the uninhabited island group under Japanese control but also claimed by China and by Taiwan.
Following the Secretary of Defense's first official visit to Asia, his colleague at State also seemed to have chosen a route well traveled.
In written answers to questions from U.S. lawmakers, Tillerson emphasized that the Trump Administration would stand by the "Six Assurances" launched by President Ronald Reagan in 1982. Those include promises by the U.S. not to act as a mediator between Taiwan and China, not to pressure Taipei to sit down for talks with Beijing, not to set a date for ending weapons sales to Taiwan, not to discuss the arms sales with China beforehand, not to formally recognize Chinese sovereignty over the island, and not to revise the Taiwan Relations Act, which allows the U.S. to sell defensive arms to Taiwan.
Responding to fears in Taiwan that President Trump was likely to treat the island as merely a bargaining chip in trade and other talks with China, Tillerson described the Taiwanese people as friends. The U.S. commitment to the island was both legal in nature and a moral imperative, the new Secretary of State said.
The comments by Tillerson and Mattis could mark a return to "normal" U.S. policies on Asia, with more emphasis on stability and cooperation, and less on rhetoric and vitriolic populism.
Taiwan has the most to expect from a U.S. policy which rewards its friends without pushing the region toward confrontation and conflict.
As Taiwanese governments frequently point out, Taiwan and the U.S. share common values of respect for freedom, democracy, human rights and progress. Given that Taiwan is threatened by a huge neighbor which performs weakly on most of those counts, so the U.S. should know which side its interests are on.
Taiwan is not a "troublemaker" but a force for stability and democracy. The recent comments by members of the Trump Administration, including those by Secretary of State Tillerson, seem to indicate the new U.S. government is aware of the basic facts.
Now it's time to move on from words to deeds, with Washington showing it is willing to work in Taiwan's favor, from action on recent congressional decisions allowing for higher-level meetings between officials of both governments to the sale of weapons and the closing of bilateral trade deals.

Update. Moving on
Since my last post, I have completely split up from my boyfriend. I now know in my head there is no going back, he's tried to blame it all on me. I've blocked his number, his Facebook and his email but he seems to keep making new email addresses to try and contact me still. This past week has been really tough I've had my days where I've tried to keep busy and focus that what I am doing is for the best, but yesterday stupidly I answered a phone call from him to find him crying down the phone to me begging for me be and it made me feel so terrible because I know I can't go back because I don't trust him however despite this, in the past week, he has been giving his number to other girls, been going out to town every night with his friends, some of my friends have seen him approaching random girls and I've found out more and more lies he's told me. So obviously he can't be that bothered about losing me if he's doing what he's doing, oh and adding all his past hook ups back on Facebook. He then today changes his tune and emails me saying he's done nothing wrong to me what so ever which is the biggest insult as he can't take no blame. So in a way this has made me realise that I don't wanna be with someone who can do that to me. I guess at night the lonliness kicks in. And sometimes I think to myself "what if he finds someone and treats them the way I've always wanted him to treat me" because like I said we planned a future together and that's all now in peices. How long am I going to feel this way for? Because I am miserable right now and hurting but I'm just waiting in hope that I will be happy. I feel very on my own and I'm scared I'll never feel the way I did with him with any one else as i really loved him so much.

Amped to Kill
by mzhang
Tags: Military, Science Fiction, Aliens,
Desc: Science Fiction Story: It's been a few decades since the Wikus Van Der Merwe Incident. The prawn fleet sits over Earth, harvesting its abundant resources. Humanity and Newcomer alike fight the extra-terrestrial invasion with military grade Amplified Mobility Platforms and other modern military technology.
AMPED TO KILL: The Unofficial Follow-Up to Neil Blomkamp's "District 9" (formerly known as 'Alive in JoBurg') with elements borrowed from Rockne S. O'Bannion's "Alien Nation", James Cameron's "Avatar", and Steve Jackson's "Ogre". Other similar elements (e.g., Robert Heinlein's "Starship Troopers", Joe Haldeman's "Forever War", David Drake's "Slammerverse", Robert Aspin's "Bug Wars", Keith Laumer's "Bolo", John Steakley's "Armor", Masaya's "Assault Suits Valken" and "Assault Suits Leynos", et al.) contributed greatly to the author's vision of mecha-based mayhem.
"Truth be told, Rook; I find Earth prawn delicious. They're great eating even if I have them grilled or cooked. Stupid Afrikaner slokaa. Why'd they call those filthy beasts 'prawn'?"
Miles, already a bundle of nerves before the drop, only listened with half an ear to the woman while he walked down the hall and fiddled with the various protuberances on his battle-dress. While Miles was a soldier, he would not be taking on the "poleepkwa" in battle fatigues. As the Van De Merwe Incident demonstrated years ago, that would be suicide, especially the aliens were now hostile and actively organized to kill anything that looked remotely human.
Speaking of aliens, the woman with Miles wasn't from Earth per se, but she was at least humanoid. The Newcomer female was slender, and at least as tall as Miles; he himself was a prime specimen of humanity at six feet and change, but that meant little. If Miles and his bald alien ally physically wrestled like two school children, she'd easily beat him down like a rag doll.
The Newcomer appeared far more at ease than "the Rook"; she occasionally stroked her smooth spotted head and kept chatting about her slim pickings of cooked Earth food as they headed for the drop bay. Soldiers tended towards nervousness regardless of how much they trained, and Miles suspected she was using idle chatter to keep her mind off the fact that they were both underwater in a submarine carrier.
Any hull breach meant the incoming seawater would dissolve the pretty alien woman in seconds unless she reached the escape vehicles, sealed herself inside a battle blister, or scrambled into a survival suit made for her kind.
Miles reflected on the many aliens now living on planet Earth. The prawn ship came to a stop over Johannesburg in 1982 and no one stopped to wonder if that species was the only one in the neighborhood. The insect-like aliens were called "prawn" by the South Africans, but everyone else called them something else; "crickets" by the British and Australians, but other countries had other monikers, all which focused on the JoBurg aliens' speech, which sounded like clicks and clacks.
Ultimately, the mystery of why the "prawn ship" stopped on Earth was answered when the Newcomers' slave ship crashed in California's Mojave Desert six years later in 1988. Between a space wreck and an inoperable craft, the best minds humanity had to offer surmised that a mid-space accident had somehow occurred, and that both craft touched down on the planet much like a two vehicles after a traffic collision.
Once dirtside though, the fortunes of the two alien races diverged rapidly. The Newcomers, having landed in the United States, were first held in quarantine as a precautionary measure, but ultimately assimilated into the human population. Not so with the "prawn" in South Africa. Their radically inhuman appearance, coupled with the vast political and social changes in South Africa at the time, proved to be the prawns' undoing.
Then in 2010, Wikus Van De Merwe happened. Miles' mind still reeled at the ineptitude of Multi-National United, and how poorly they handled the situation. While the United States was never officially invited to participate in anything MNU-related (having their own extra-terrestrial situation at home), America did send unofficial observers - even Newcomer scientists - who watched the events unfold in District 9.
Without any idea what would happen if the prawn came back, the United States erred on the side of caution and prepared. Armed with the scant technological scraps from their new alien allies and information on the aliens in South African, DARPA managed to developed the "amplified mobility platform" (AMP) to combat the hostile alien threat.
After initial teething troubles, America had started a new technological revolution in warfare with a militarized version of the AMP, the Gibbon CoRi (COmbat RIg). With help from Newcomer scientists, DARPA managed to get their various armaments programs working, and just in time too. Less than a decade after the stricken prawn ship departed for its home system, their invasion fleet arrived on Earth. Strangely, the prawn didn't come to "rescue" their brethren in South Africa, but to harvest the raw materials instead.
Miles and his alien comrade-at-arms entered a large loading bay where a dozen or so other operators were lined up. They were all in similar body-hugging battledress. Their codpieces sported protuberances and inputs much like as his. The group's commander - a 'Tactical Sergeant' by his insignia - was a short, wiry Chinese man with a dour face, and a more dour disposition.
"We're wrapping up," the sergeant's bald head glistened under the interior lighting as he glared at the new arrivals. "Small change of plan. Rook, you're ridin' alone. Tits will be driving Ginny. Move out."
At that, the others started moving towards ladders marked with names on large signs. A blonde woman with a mediocre but perky bust stepped up and waved to the Newcomer, saying, "C'mon Mary. See you in the Bactrian."
"All right." The Newcomer - Mary - turned and gave Miles a friendly punch in the arm as she strode off, "See ya, Rook."
"Uh, sir?" Miles seemed hesitant as the sergeant started off to his own ladder.
"Don' you ever 'sir' me. I work for a livin'."
"Yes Sergeant Cheng," Miles quickly corrected himself. "So, how's this going to work? I thought my blister was set for the Bactrian instead of a Gibbon? I thought I was to escort Miss Webster?"
"I swapped the control cards," came his response. "Just because you're not driving the Virgin Mary around -" a play on Webster's name and call sign "- doesn't mean you're not on baby-sitter duty."
Miles started up his ladder as Cheng continued in his American drawl.
"You're still new to movin' in a blister and cradle. Gibbons ain't training machines. Bein' on your own means you can make mistakes that won't get my people killed - 'specially my bot controller," the sergeant said simply. "You stay near the Bactrian, but do exactly as Tanya says. Understand?"
"Yes sergeant. Understood."
Probably more so than you want, Miles thought darkly as he settled into his battle blister. Tanya "Tits" Doyle, the unofficial bodyguard of their squad's bot controller, was rumored to have been a stripper, a porn star, or a hooker before the prawns invaded Earth. Miles heard a few sordid stories aboard the submarine carrier that ran rampant in small circles of how Doyle got into the CoRi program.
Some said she and Cheng were having some fun before the invasion, but that didn't hold up, as the sergeant himself was rumored to be a refugee himself. In any case, once the shooting started, Doyle, like Sergeant Cheng, quickly earned new infamy as skilled rig drivers with an adroitness when it came to killing the enemy.
Now, whether "Tits" and Sergeant Cheng were an item, or still an item seemed moot - Cheng and the slender Newcomer female, Mary Webster, were often found eating together in the mess, much to the disgust of the crew. The raw meat diet of Newcomers wasn't exactly a welcoming sight, except to other Newcomers.
Miles tuned out the innuendo and he concentrated on getting himself ready. He connected the waste line to a metal orifice on his codpiece, followed by the wash/rinse line. That done, Miles slipped his arms and legs into the metal and polymer cradles inside the blister.
With his limbs so encompassed, he would be able to control any rig his blister was installed into just as he would his own body - at least hands, arms, legs, and feet wise. The cradles' many joints were wired or motorized to provide resistance to his movements, if just to give the operator a sensation of feedback; physically and practically, he was a walking five meter tall metal giant, with proportionate strength.
The blond rookie was primarily standing, although there was a small rest protruding from the rear wall of the blister to allow Miles to rest on his buttocks. He seldom did so, as sitting like that was painful if he did it too long. To actually "sit" comfortably in a blister, Miles had to remove his legs from the lower limb cradles (in essence letting the auto-walk take over - not a good idea in combat). So, like any soldier, Miles toughed it out and took short sits when his legs were feeling tired.
There was a slight bump, and Miles felt his battle blister shudder. He was being loaded into his Gibbon. The war machine stood between nearly five meters tall; its upper body was voluminous enough to encapsulate the cylindrical cockpit containing its operator. So enclosed, the only means for the person to see while inside one of these assault suits was through the cam-plate - the prefabricated armored faceplate with bundles of fiber thin cables serving as cameras to the outside world.
The cam-plate wrapped around the Gibbon's bulbous upper-body and came down in a bib-like fashion over the forward and side facings of the torso. Special optic mountings in the outer frame's crotch and arm pits allowed the to "see" the ground beneath him.

Publicans push to end Good Friday booze ban this year
A major campaign by the Licensed Vintners Association (LVA) is to be launched to convince the government to end the ban on selling booze on Good Friday.
Yesterday, it was reported that Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald was leaning towards making the change in the new Sale of Alcohol Bill but as that has been delayed a separate Bill just to deal with Good Friday licensing may be introduced instead.
The LVA believe it is long overdue that booze can be sold on Good Friday.
LVA chief executive Donall O'Keeffe told the Star that the current laws are 'ludicrous' and that 2016 is the perfect year to make the change.
With hordes of tourists expected to be here for the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising, the fact that Ireland are due to play Switzerland in a Euro 2016 friendly on March 25 at Aviva Stadium - Good Friday - mean that this year is perfect year to make the switch in their opinion.
"Every Good Friday we have tens of thousands of tourists wandering around Dublin, asking why they can't go in to a pub for a drink," said O'Keeffe.
"Now we are going to have up to 50,000 soccer fans facing the same problem. Not to mention the tens of thousands who will want to watch in their local pub."

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin Knows Something That We Don't Know About Mars!
The idea that Mars could have once been home to intelligent life is a theory that has become very popular in recent years. Discoveries like the so-called "Face on Mars" and the occasional sighting of flowing water have only fanned the flames of speculation.
Chances are, however, that you've never heard of the best possible evidence of intelligent life on Mars: the monolith on Phobos.
This is Phobos, one of Mars' two moons. It's a small, potato-shaped rock that makes its way around the red planet once every seven hours.
YouTube / C-SPAN
Despite that bolstered attention, researchers haven't been able to determine what the structure is.

KIC today announced that it will showcase the new ProBot, a flexible, affordable and easy-to-use automatic profiling system in the Henkel (#220) and Technical Resource Corporation, Inc. (#229) booths at the upcoming SMTA International Conference and Expo, scheduled to take place October 16-17, 2012 at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel in Orlando, FL. The ProBot is the profiling machine for your profile machine.
The ProBot automatically verifies whether each PCB is processed to specification in the reflow oven. The suspect PCBs then can be sent off to batch X-ray. Since the typical batch X-ray machine only inspects less than one percent of all assembled PCBs, the ProBot allows for a more effective sampling.
The ProBot is designed to fit virtually any reflow oven on the market. The product is highly modular, allowing each user to specify the desired features. There is no longer a need to pay for unnecessary or unwanted capabilities.
For more information, contact Marybeth Allen at email@example.com or visit www.kicthermal.com.
Based in San Diego, KIC is the industry leader in automated thermal management tools and systems for reflow, wave, cure and semiconductor thermal processes. The company pioneered the development of oven profilers and process optimization tools, and then worked to create the next generation of thermal systems to help manufacturers improve the thermal process quality while reducing cost.
In addition to KIC Explorer, products include the KIC RPI reflow process inspection system, the KIC Vision automatic profiling system and more. With the introduction of cutting edge tools, the company continues to stay on the leading edge of process optimization and automatic thermal management systems, and has won numerous industry awards.

Three Technologies for At-Risk Students
A teacher's goal is to make sure that each of their students are understanding the subject at hand. Often times, teachers will have at-risk student in their classes. There are numerous ways to help the at-rick children, but here are three ways to help the students by using technology.
1. Interactive white boards are a great hands on experience. The student is able to label a map that is blown up on a white board, instead of labeling a map that is a small picture in a piece of paper. Students are able to draw how they understand the material, if they are not able to express using their words. The students are also to work out their math problems on a larger scale. They can make graphs and charts in a more hands on environment.
2. In the classroom, if there is at least one computer. The teacher could show the at-risk student different programs and websites that the student could use to help them better understand the material. There are programs that are geared toward the students specific learning style. The programs are a fun way for the students to learn without realizing they are learning.
3. A projector is also a helpful tool. with a projector the teacher could have a game show going on in the class. The students would be engaged and they would be having fun and learning at the same time. The student could also give presentations using power point to explain what they have learned.

The perfect cup for your Moscow Mule, personalized with your monogram initial and includes polishing cloth to keep your copper mug looking vibrant. Moscow Mule is a trendy cocktail made of vodka, ginger beer, and lime with a sprig of mint. These cocktails, all the rage in the 1950s, are making a resurgence. The drinks are traditionally served in a copper cup, which keeps the cocktail fantastically cold while transmitting the coolness to your hands, keeping you refreshed.
Read more about the history of the Moscow Mule & copper mugs.
Our Personalized Moscow Mule Copper Mug holds 17 ounces of refreshment and includes the initial of your choice custom engraved into the copper. Not only does the personalization make the Moscow Mule mug unique for the recipient, but it also ties into Hollywood history - when the cocktail took off in popularity in the 50's, it became a signature drink at the Sunset Strip's Cock 'n Bull bar, where famous movie stars had their own personal copper mugs waiting for them behind the bar. Our personalized copper mugs give you a great opportunity to join in a fun bit of Hollywood trivia.
Please Note: Copper is a beautiful metal that naturally patinas over time. To maintain the bright, original shine, it must be cleaned and polished regularly. Natural surface variations are inherent in 100% copper.

has any1 ever used a roasting tin to bake a cake in? i know i would have to lin it with baking paper and probably use 2 packets of cake mix? how long would it take to bake and at what temperature?
Not in a roasting tin as such, but in plenty of strangely-shaped pans! It should work just fine, but you might want to consider using a baking core or a flower nail (or maybe 2 or 3) to make sure the cake gets done in the middle. Since roasting pans vary in size, the amount of batter you would need would depend on this. One way to find out is to put water in the pan 2/3 of the way up (or however high you want it to be filled with cake batter) and then measure this water cup-by-cup. That's how many cups of batter you'll need, and you can (hopefully) extrapolate that to the number of packages of cake mix you need.
thanks thats a great idea? do u know what temp i should have it on?
I generally bake larger cakes at 325-350°F. Some experimentation may be necessary.

Question: I wake up early in the morning with nausea
|AlexB1001 - Fri Dec 26, 2008 3:21 am
Share |
Hi, I was recently diagnosed with acid reflux - my main symptoms are nausea and occasional vomiting in the night, and was told by the doctor to change the diet and if the problem persisted to take some meds.
However, although I've managed to control most of my bouts of nausea which I would usually get in the early night, I have been waking up over the past few days at 7:00 AM sharp with strong nausea, so bad that I cannot go back to sleep, and have to get up, usually having to go to the toliet with diarrhea. This nausea usually dissapates by around midday.
I admittedly have been eating many Christmas meals over the past few days, and I have not been getting much fibre, but the rest of my family (not GERD sufferers) don't seem to be having the same problems in the morning after the same meals as me.
So is my waking up early (making me extremely tired because I cannot go back to sleep and am gradually becoming more and more exhausted) a product of a bad diet, or a part of my acid reflux? Thanks!

Hi there -
The new symptoms (nausea and diarrhea) are not directly related to GERD. It's most likely due to the holiday diet, in which case it should start to resolve after this weekend, unless it's actually due to your having picked up a stomach bug in recent days. That's another possibility, and it also should run its course and get better on its own in a few days.
As for the nocturnal GERD problems in general, one thing one no longer hears much but which is still useful advice in some cases, is to elevate the head of the bed if practical, using wooden blocks, bricks, books, whatever is handy, so that your whole body is resting on a downward slope. This prevents the backup of stomach contents into the esophagus (and often right into the nasopharynx). This used to be a common suggestion offered prior to the development of powerful medications to prevent excess production of stomach acid and also help tighten the lower esophogeal sphincter (LES). However, if the LES is profoundly incompetent, the patient, when lying flat (as in bed, trying to sleep) is going to have some regurgitation of stomach contents regardless, and this is where the jacked-up bed head can be very helpful. It should be raised at least six inches to make the slope effective.
If this doesn't help the problem, and/or if the nausea and diarrhea don't resolve in a few more days, you'll need to be evaluated in person by a healthcare provider.
I hope this is helpful to you. Good luck and I hope you are able to enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend. Follow up with us as needed.

Annette Obrestad wins EPT £5k Heads-Up tourney
The big news thus far out of the Hilton Metropole in London, England was Annette Obrestad cruising to victory in the £5,000 No limit Holdem Heads-Up tournament. Obrestad was among the 64 big-name poker players who registered for the event, and will walk away with a £120,000 in prize-money for the win.
The tournament was played in a Best-of-3 format, with the final match Best-of-5. Because of the added matches the tournament was spaced out over two full days –Obrestad needed to play just 16 heads-up matches against her 6 opponents on her route to victory.
Two other preliminary tournaments at the 2010 European Poker Tour London stop were also in action at the time of writing:
In the £2,000 European 8-Game Championship it will be Chris Bjorin taking on Tim Finne in heads-up play –Team PokerStars pro Jason Mercier finished in 3rd place. Bjorin is fresh off back-to-back final tables at the World Series of Poker Europe, and has to be considered one of the hottest players in poker at the moment.
In the £1,000 No limit Holdem Tournament EPT Vilmoura champion Toby Lewis found himself in heads-up play against Manig Loser, and was able to close out the tournament and pick up a nice £55,000 score just before the Main Event.

By HAROLD M. SCHMECK Jr.
Published: October 29, 1982
Scientists in California report that they have found and artificially duplicated a long-sought brain substance that is crucial to normal human growth.
The achievement is expected to have a major effect on studies of growth and its disorders and perhaps the treatment of other important human health problems. The discovery is also expected to have important applications to agriculture, offering a potentially safe and efficient way of regulating the size and growth rate of domestic animals.
The substance is called GRF, for growth hormone releasing factor. It is the last to be identified and made artificially among four hormone-releasing factors that were predicted by scientists more than 25 years ago and that have been sought in research ever since.
Experiments in Humans
Because the newly identified substance is relatively simple, it is expected that large quantities may become available soon, now that its precise chemistry is known. How long it will be before experimental use in humans can begin is unpredictable because such use would involve approval by the Food and Drug Administration at each of several steps. But laboratory experiments that could contribute to that goal have already begun.
Chemical characterization and synthesis of the growth hormone releasing factor were reported yesterday in the journal Science by Roger Guillemin, Paul Brazeau, Peter Bohlen, Frederick Esch, Nicholas Ling and William B. Wehrenberg, all of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, Calif.
The substance has eluded scientific search for decades because it is produced naturally only in minute amounts. The researchers made their discovery by harvesting the substance from an extremely rare cancer of the pancreas gland that stimulates the pituitary gland to release excessive amounts of growth hormone. One effect of the cancer is acromegaly, an abnormal overgrowth of bony tissue caused by the effects of excessive growth hormone.
Dr. Guillemin has been a pioneer in research on hormone releasing factors that are produced in the brain. He and Andrew V. Schally of Tulane University shared a Nobel Prize in 1977 for groundbreaking studies of releasing factors. Their work was done independently of each other.
A growth hormone releasing factor closely similar to the one described in the current report has been found by another team at Salk Institute, led by Dr. Wylie Vale. It too was found in one of the rare pancreatic tumors that stimulate the pituitary. Details are to be published soon.
Scientists familiar with the field believe the two newly found growth hormone releasing factors are probably versions of the same substance. Last year Dr. Vale's group identified one of the other long-elusive brain substances. This was corticotropin releasing factor, which is believed to be a key to the body's response to stress. The other two releasing factors, discovered earlier, act on the thyroid gland and on the course of pregnancy.
GRF and the other factors are produced normally by the hypothalamus, a deep-seated part of the brain that plays important roles in regulating temperature, appetite, thirst, sleep and wakefulness, the level of sugar in the blood, salt and water in the body and even the emotions. Crucial to Human Chemistry
Each of the releasing factors has a different vital effect on the chemistry of the human body. They act by governing the activity of the body's master gland, the pituitary, a small organ attached to the base of the brain. The pituitary sends out substances, such as growth hormone, which affect the entire body.
Although the releasing factor was found in tumor tissue, laboratory evidence strongly suggests that it is the same substance that is found in the brain, Dr. Guillemin said.
''What can certainly be said is that the molecule we have now characterized has all the attributes expected from the long-sought hypothalamic releasing factor for growth hormone,'' said the report in Science.
Eventually the newly identified substance or chemical modifications of it will probably be used in attempts to treat cases of pituitary dwarfism, a serious condition caused by insuffient secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. Some cases of diabetes are also believed to involve abnormalities in growth hormone production and may be amenable to treatment with the releasing factor. Wound healing and treatment of burns are also likely uses of the substance. Possible Effects on Aging
Some specialists believe the releasing factor may become important in research on the biology of aging, since it is known that growth hormone becomes undetectable in the body by late middle age. If the releasing factor proves capable of stimulating growth hormone release in people of that age group it might conceivably have major effects on the aging process.
Growth hormone itself has always been far too scarce for most medical uses except that of treating pituitary dwarfism in children. The techniques of gene-splicing have recently made it possible to produce large amounts of the human hormone in genetically engineered bacteria. Presumably the same techniques could be used to produce large amounts of the releasing factor, although the molecule is small enough so that it may be more efficient to make it by direct chemical methods.
Use of the releasing factor instead of the growth hormone itself has a major advantage, according to experts, in that its use should allow better regulation of the body's supplies of the hormone. The control would come from the highest level, that of the brain. Growth hormone given directly to a normal human or animal might simply cause the pituitary to reduce its natural release to compensate for the artificially introduced supply.
Chemically, the newly identified releasing factor is called a peptide, a string of amino acids, which are the building blocks of all proteins.


text: Local Commentaries The opinions expressed in these commentaries are not necessarily those of Tri States Public Radio or Western Illinois University. Diverse viewpoints are welcomed and encouraged. Counting the Christmas Profits By Bill Knight • Dec 26, 2013 Christmas is over, and with it, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and the rest of the holiday-shopping gimmicks. In Support of Working to the Rule By Barbara Harroun • Dec 22, 2013 Rich Egger On December 6, 2013 I brought my daughter to the Old Dairy for lunch. While eating, members of the MHS band filed in, some in holiday garb, and under the direction of Mr. Wetmore regaled us with music. Instantly my daughter asked if we could move closer to watch. We did. A Baby is Born - An Old Story By Bill Knight • Dec 18, 2013 Newspaperman Heywood Broun was one of the country's top columnists in the 1920s and '30s, when he also founded The Newspaper Guild labor union – risking his own financial position to help reporters paid 1 percent of his salary. Broun wrote about sports and books as well as current events and social-justice issues, but for years one of his most popular themes was Christmas, the subject of this sentimental piece from the defunct New York World: New Scheme for Cutting Social Security By Bill Knight • Dec 11, 2013 Seeing contradictions instead of complexities in attitudes and preferences by the Millennial generation is perhaps why Big Business and the elite have started focusing on 18- to 34-year-old Americans in the newest scheme to cut Social Security. But 1 percenters have misinterpreted young adults as vulnerable, dumb or both. Lessons From Man's Best Friend By Bill Knight • Dec 4, 2013 As the possibility of a new government shutdown appears this winter, the lack of even superficial relationships on Capitol Hill makes one long for some positive parallel in constructive interactions – even connections that may be partly illusions. The Prophets of Profits By Bill Knight • Nov 27, 2013 This week we give thanks for what we have, even while recognizing the work ahead to achieve and accept other graces. As we celebrate Thanksgiving, counting our blessings, we may also take comfort in the action of a man whose business is blessings. And CEOs of U.S. corporations may also take notice. Taxpayers Subsidizing Fast Food Profits By Bill Knight • Nov 20, 2013 Two months after a national strike against restaurants by workers demanding a raise, there's a lot still left out of coverage of the disagreement. A Hike in the Minimum Wage is Overdue By Bill Knight • Nov 13, 2013 Like most Americans, I've worked minimum-wage jobs. As an adolescent and a young adult, I worked on a farm, in a grocery store, and for a carpenter, and co-workers weren't all teens. A grouchy guy in his 40s who smoked unfiltered Camels and swung a hammer like it was a Stradivarius pounded nails alongside me; a single mom was head cashier, knew the supermarket better than the boss, and mothered bag boys as well as ran the register. At each workplace, the employer would've paid less if they could have. Challenges to Overcome Before Mid-Term Elections By Bill Knight • Nov 6, 2013 One year from this week – on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014 – people will vote on all 435 Representatives in Congress, a third of the 100 U.S. Senators, and dozens of governors, and labor is choosing where to use its resources. Public Pensions & Corporate Subsidies By Bill Knight • Oct 30, 2013 Pension foes have shifted public attention to accounting so retiree benefits might be shifted to protect or expand corporate subsidies, like the $24 million that Archer Daniels Midland demands from the state of Illinois, according to a new report. It says the anti-pension campaign blames state or local budget problems exclusively on public pensions – pensions that were underfunded by legislatures for years so the money could be spent elsewhere, such as on corporate subsidies or politically popular tax cuts. Dr Seuss and the Teapublicans By Bill Knight • Oct 23, 2013 When U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, the first-term Texas Republican, in the run-up to the Tea Party-engineered government shutdown included in his 21-hour filibuster a reading of Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham," he may have been trying to show what he has in common with everyday Americans. He actually showed his ignorance. Climate Change Should Top Washington's Agenda By Bill Knight • Oct 16, 2013 Too many people of power in government and big business deny humanity's influence on climate change, so the continent's biggest progressive forces are stepping up their involvement and a best-selling author is encouraging that interaction. According to a new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – its fifth such assessment – there's no doubt that Earth is warming at an accelerating rate, human activity caused it (with 95 percent certainty), and the last 30 years have been the hottest decades since the mid-19th century, The Affordable Care Act and Social Injustice By Heather McIlvaine-Newsad • Oct 10, 2013 Rich Egger My family and I have spent the past couple of weeks visiting our doctors. All four of us have had our annual physicals, eye and dental exams. Each time I enter a doctor's office I am grateful that we have access to affordable health insurance. There was a time not long ago, when I was a graduate student and my husband was working full time, that we were uninsured. Like many people in this country, our monthly income barely covered the rent and groceries, let alone "luxuries" like health insurance. Decent Wages Benefit Everyone By Bill Knight • Oct 9, 2013 Washington, D.C., Mayor Vincent Gray recently vetoed that City Council's passage of a living-wage ordinance -- the Large Retailer Accountability Act, which would have required District big-box retailers such as Walmart to pay workers a living wage of $12.50 an hour, but it renewed debate about at least raising the minimum wage and revived conversations about a living wage. Food Stamps Are Vital; Cuts Are Shortsighted By Bill Knight • Oct 2, 2013 Timing is everything, sometimes. A couple of days after Pope Francis' interview was published in which the pontiff stressed helping the poor instead of "obsessing" about abortion, birth control and gay issues – the same day the House voted to cut food stamps by $40 billion over 10 years – church readings seemed to address the subject in plain language. (Were Tea Party types sitting in pews uncomfortable hearing that God notices those "who trample upon the needy and destroy the poor"? Amen.) Mars Bars and Macaroons By Bill Knight • Sep 25, 2013 I'm no "foodie," but I'm fond of certain treats and, even when I don't buy something regularly, they remain a favorite. Bailed Out, Booted, or Busted By Bill Knight • Sep 18, 2013 Most people know that most corporate CEOs are paid a lot -- the ratio of CEO pay to average-worker pay is 273 to 1, compared to 20 to 1 in 1965, reported the Washington Post. But what does all that money buy? High School Football is Too Dangerous By Bill Knight • Sep 11, 2013 Some 25 years ago, NBC-TV's popular "Hill Street Blues" series featured a character, Sgt. Phil Esterhaus, warning the street cops, "Hey, let's be careful out there." Choose Diplomacy, Not War By Bill Knight • Sep 4, 2013 It's crazy, the gleam in the eye and zeal that the powerful have in sending everyday people into harm's way. Labor Day and the Feminine Mystique By Bill Knight • Aug 28, 2013 This Labor Day during the 50th anniversary year of the publication of the landmark "Feminine Mystique" by Betty Friedan, one wonders, "What if?" Work Remains, 50 Years After March on Washington By Bill Knight • Aug 21, 2013 This week's commemoration of 1963's March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom should note that on the 50th anniversary of that occasion, one of the most effective demonstrations for human rights in the planet's history is unfinished. Trampling the Right to a Day in Court By Bill Knight • Aug 14, 2013 As the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom is celebrated, Americans increasingly are forced to surrender one of freedom's most basic rights: the right to their day in court. There Will Be Labor Law on Labor Day By Bill Knight • Aug 7, 2013 Many more Americans work for a living than are criminals or their victims, but the consideration of a new FBI director last week got much more attention than the federal agency that sets standards for 80 million workers. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) traces its history to 80 years ago this month, when the National Labor Board was established. It was dissolved the next year after the Supreme Court declared it illegal, but it became the predecessor to the NLRB founded in 1935. Thumbs Down to Obamacare Delay By Bill Knight • Jul 31, 2013 Eventually, employers will have to abide by health-care reform, but President Obama last month said he was giving an extra year to comply to health-care requirements for business, which said it needed more time to comply with the overhaul. U.S. businesses that had been looking at possible penalties if they didn't provide health insurance to their employees by January are getting another year before they must comply with the law. The requirement affects companies with at least 50 employees. The Obama administration listened. Labor leaders wonder: Did anyone listen to them? Tax Exemption Applicants Deserve Scrutiny By Bill Knight • Jul 24, 2013 Tax collectors were so unpopular for so long it took the Son of God to demonstrate that it was alright to forgive them, and who knows whether some modern St. Matthew works at the Internal Revenue Service. Judicial Activism & Voting Rights By Bill Knight • Jul 17, 2013 The war against Americans' voting heated up this summer when the U.S. Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision struck down a formula to ensure access to polls – even as it affirmed the 1965 Voting Rights Act's goal. The Battle Over Tribune Ownership By Bill Knight • Jul 10, 2013 Labor is leading the fight to keep the Chicago Tribune newspapers free from overt partisan control, using their financial clout as well as their street presence. America: A Work in Progress By Bill Knight • Jul 3, 2013 When the statue of Frederick Douglass was unveiled in the U.S. Capitol on June 19, Vice President Joe Biden quipped that Douglass was "one of my favorite Republicans." More Powerful Than a Locomotive By Bill Knight • Jun 26, 2013 DC Comics When "Man of Steel" opened, the latest re-booting of the Superman story was met by indifference, relief or scorn, but change is one of the few constants in the universe of heroes, especially the comic-book variety. Fracking Not All It's Cracked Up To Be By Bill Knight • Jun 19, 2013 Illinois' legislature on May 31 signaled that fracking can begin, overwhelmingly approving a plan to regulate the high-volume gas and oil drilling despite considerable testimony in opposition, hundreds of people rallying and protesting at the Capitol and Gov. Quinn's office, and five southern-Illinois counties and four cities, including Carbondale, voting to wait. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 next › last »

I'll try to keep it direct but, sorry if it gets long...
Met a guy, talked/hung out once (strictly platonic) and he asked if I'd like to go out again sometime but as a date. I said yes.
Then I don't hear anything for 2 weeks.
Then we kind of start messaging a little bit on fb--there's nothing flirty, it's all pretty general and the only thing he says in regards to before is that life's been hectic and he's sorry he hasn't contacted me to hang out... not go on a date, but to hang out.
FB messaging goes on for about another 2 weeks and then turns back into texting. For the past 2 days we've been pretty much text talking all day.
Thursday night he asks if I like hiking. I say yes. He then mentions he's planning to go hiking Friday afternoon with his best friend... doesn't directly invite me to go, and never gave me any details for what time or anything this would take place. The only reason I knew where it was happening is because I asked where he was planning to go, just as general conversation.
Today of course I don't hear anything.
What gives? Did he want me to go or not? On one hand why bring it up if you weren't inviting me, but on the other why so vague with details? The past few days he's been the one reaching out contact to me, so it's not like I've been prying into his life... this isn't the first time I've gotten run around with a guy either so seriously if there's anyone with any insight please share.
Why would a guy ask a girl out on a date, then never follow up?
I'll try to keep it direct but, sorry if it gets long...

Previous: The Allies re-invade the Far East (CYOAH)
Though the Soviets have a superior ground force, it is the Allies Air Supremacy that wins out. By destroying all convoys and reinforcements that try to reach the Soviet front line, they starve them out and destroy them. By March, the Allies are in Siberia, having defeated the Soviet troops in Japan.
The Soviet Union is bleeding men and resources and urgently needs new ones. It has another army, but it is not clear if committing this army to Siberia can defeat the Allies. Instead, the Soviets could send them down into China, or launch a surprise attack into Japan. They need new resources, but should the problem in Siberia be addressed first?
