Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
It's Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark's Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark's Daily Apple community please contact me here. I'll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading!
I hated gym class. Especially the mandatory showers down in the locker room dungeon of the school basement. And those uniform gym shorts were obnoxiously baggy on my toothpick legs (think SpongeBob). The obstetrician (pediatricians weren't invented yet) told my mother I would always be tall and thin.
In middle school, I was no candidate for the Presidential Physical Fitness Award. At 5 foot 10, I had no trouble reaching the chin-up bar, but that was about it. Just hanging there without bending my arms eliminated any possibility of a gold medal. That bar was my arch-nemesis. At least I could touch the ceiling rafters at the top of the rope climb since I only had 98 pounds to hoist all the way up into the stratosphere. It was also a challenge to my parents' shopping endurance when trying to find bell bottomed pants that would fit the way they were supposed to. And don't forget the high-heeled shoes… man.
Fast forward 40 years. I still hate the thought of gym class, but weighing in at 168 and standing 6′ 1" barefoot, I can do 8 to 10 mini Primal pull-ups on my makeshift bar in the rafters of our basement ceiling. (I am working up to at least a couple of good "honest" ones.) This might not seem like much of a success story since I am still tall and thin and relatively fit while sliding into a 32×34 pair of pants, but my path did not go straight from point A to point B. There were plenty of twists and turns, ups and downs, pot holes and speed bumps along the way. But there were also some scenic byways, picturesque overlooks, and panoramic views.
I was pretty much a geek growing up, complete with thick glasses. I started out on trumpet in the school band, was in the Science Club, and rode my bike a lot. Living in a small town put everything within walking or biking distance. When some of my gear-head friends were getting cars, I got a new 10-speed bicycle on my 16th birthday. I was in heaven.
I put in many sunny summer afternoons on county roads sailing between patches of cornfields, and even squeezed in a couple of century rides along with several jaunts to Columbus and back over long weekends, pedaling 60 miles each way. In college I played the baritone horn (after switching from trumpet in 8th grade) and was a 3-year member of the Ohio State University Marching Band when Archie Griffin was running for his second Heisman during my freshman year.
Those were the lean years. Carrying around 145 pounds on a 6 foot 2 frame, I had plenty of weight training back then, from flashing and maneuvering that 15+ pound brass horn coupled with heavy-duty cardio: exhaling continuously through that horn while marching over 100 yards down the field at a pace of 180 steps per minute playing "Buckeye Battle Cry". And this was just the opening for the pre-game show.
But then in November of 1977 I became entangled in a complicated freak accident where I was figuratively caught between a rock and a hard place and was literally squished across the abdomen resulting in stretched and pulled muscles, torn cartilage from my ribs, a twisted pelvis, and one leg shorter than the other. They did not find any internal damage at the time, but I was sentenced to a sedentary lifestyle at the age of 21. I guess that was o.k., being a geek-type pencil pusher, and I eventually ended up as a Data Analyst specializing in Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Needless to say, my exercise regimens were limited in scope. Walks around the neighborhood worked, but strolling through art exhibits or meandering around the State Fair proved strenuous at that slow pace. It was hard on the hips, and standing for extended periods of time put pressure on the lower back. I could manage short bicycle trips since I was seated, but they came with a 10 mile round trip limit. Years of chiropractic helped put the hips back in alignment and straighten the leg, but because of the way it originally healed (remember the Crooked Man in the crooked house?), I had to keep coming back for 'maintenance'. Yoga has helped to maintain my elasticity, though. Throw in some Alexander Technique and Ayurveda and I managed to maneuver around.
Life continued to happen: school, work, marriage, relocation, more school, more work, helping to bring two red-headed boys into the world while gaining five pounds per child (or is that supposed to apply to the mother?). Recent family holiday photos reveal a few decades of accumulation (Christmas 2011 with our pre-Primal, pre grain-free cats).
Then came that pivotal check up in May of 2012 with my Nurse Practitioner. I had been teetering on the edge for several years, but this set of blood tests pushed me over the limit. It was SAD but true: I had become a product of Conventional Wisdom's Standard American Diet. The numbers went something like this:
I was a prime candidate for Syndrome X and type II diabetes.
I was already on a prescription to control my blood pressure, and I did not like the idea of signing up for any new medications. I had briefly been on statins a few years back, but that was like wearing one of those lead vests they put on you when getting x-rays at the dentist's office. For a month I was continually fatigued, my muscles were weak, and the walks up that hill down the street became a climb up Mt. Everest. Taking that pill to help reduce cholesterol while attempting to increase exercising as a lifestyle change to achieve the same goal seemed to be self-defeating.
Now, handed these latest numbers, something had to change.
The first thing to go was sugar (pop). Then came salty fried stuff (French fries and potato cakes) along with other saturated fats (margarine, vegetable oils) and processed food. My Nurse Practitioner said something about carbs and pasta, so… you guessed it.
During this preliminary phase, both the Mrs. and I had been exploring more healthy diets with the hope of shedding a few unwanted pounds. Her sister had found something that worked for her, and the two of them incorporated that strategy into mealtimes for a week while visiting their father during the summer. I had found a book among my mother's things that addressed sugar and the glucose/insulin roller coaster, and I had a chance to apply some of the principles explained in those pages during my week of bachelorhood. Soon after the Mrs. got back home, we joined forces and started experimenting with what we had discovered. But it seemed like both of our new approaches centered around just managing and regulating that glucose/insulin cycle using high fiber foods and complex carbohydrates.
Stuck right in the middle of all these discoveries was our cruise to Alaska in July. We both ate like typical cruisers, but we stayed active exploring the ship and enjoying shore excursions. We also made better choices from the endless and vast selection of available food – fewer pasta dishes, no sugar-laden beverages, lean meats accompanied by more fruits and veggies, bacon and eggs for breakfast, and, of course, a daily dip of ice cream – don't forget the simple pleasures! But even though we both ate till we were full, upon returning home to our bathroom scales a week later, the dial had barely budged from where we left it. We must have been doing something right.
During the cruise we attended a workshop discussing metabolism and detox. There are different ways to do it (detox), but unless you scrape off all the chips of old paint and get rid of the moisture issues, the freshly painted wall is just going to crack and peel again. And if you keep throwing mud at your nice clean wall, unless you have a peculiar affinity for Mud Art, the room will never really be a nice room. That is where the Primal Blueprint comes in.
Since we were already in "detox" mode, we continued cleaning up our act. Besides the dietary changes we had made prior to the cruise, we learned more about the water we drink and the containers that we drink it from. [See The Choice Is Clear (1971) by Dr. Allen E. Banik and Plastic Free (2012) by Beth Terry] If you ever have a question about something or a desire to find out more about anything at all, there is Google. Type in "safe water bottles". Hit enter.
One of the search results linked to Mark's Daily Apple where some guy with the same name as mine and being about the same vintage – but looking more like 40 – was giving his take on water bottles. I loved his writing style, his attitude, his undying curiosity, and his outlook on life. I began exploring his website further and discovered The Primal Blueprint.
One fundamental thrust of this new "ancient" lifestyle was eliminating grains from the diet. I found this to be greatly reinforced and explained in Dr. William Davis' book, Wheat Belly. Up to this point, after each modification to our eating habits with its accompanying weight loss, homeostasis would soon settle in and the bathroom scales would start creeping back up again. But taking the Primal "plunge" in late October 2012 (Happy Primal Anniversary! by the way), I ate my last spoonful of grain based cereal and drank my last glass of fruit juice for breakfast.
As a direct result of that one little change, my next blood test results in February 2013 were dramatic. After a year of being Primal fat burners, the numbers settled down and both of us had shed pounds without really trying. The Mrs. had reached her goal by dropping 20 pounds and stepping into her jeans two sizes smaller. She had other health related targets she was pursuing, and has become re-vitalized as a result of going Primal. She also happens to work in a library and has had dozens of opportunities to "suggest" the Primal Blueprint to patrons checking out other books related to diet and health, and the library's three copies seem to be in circulation most of the time.
Along with the improved numbers, my prescribed dosage for blood pressure medicine has gone from 10 mg to 2.5 mg, and my weight has been hovering around 168 for many months. Some additional things may be due more to the weight loss and reduced systemic inflammation, but my ankles are no longer swollen (edema), my back, hip, and knees don't ache any more, the stairs are no longer a strain, and I have more vibrant energy. The time between chiropractor visits has stretched from 3 weeks to 6. And I somehow managed to side-step the cold and flu season last year while the rest of the office staff were dropping like flies.
Today I still play the baritone and euphonium in a British style brass band and ring handbells. I go nowhere at a moderate pace on my stationary exer-cycle with an occasional "sprint". I move frequently out to the warehouse and back to my cubicle every hour at work followed by a dozen Primal Squats. Yoga has become so much more effective and meaningful. And I don't miss pop or fries or hot dogs or breakfast cereal or juice or pasta or bread, but guided by the Calton's Rich Food, Poor Food GPS, I love exploring cooking and combining new things that are wholesome and taste full-flavored which don't leave me in a food coma for the rest of the day. The funny thing is, when I backslide and indulge in a couple of cookies or a stack of pancakes, all my joints ache for at least two days.
There are still a few things to work out like improving some of the numbers, increasing the Primal Essential Movements (PEMs), and doing some visceral fine tuning (translation: ripped abs). We are all a work in progress, but after reading The Primal Blueprint, I have gained new insight and a deeper appreciation for how we are designed and put together, and I have a renewed respect for the Designer.

I always enjoy seeing Primal working for another tribal elder. Good work!
I also love seeing success stories from folks my age. Great work and love the band outfit!
Yes, I agree. Your story is very inspirational to somebody about to turn 50 this year. Thank you.
PS: When I first looked at your "after" picture, I thought you were holding a spear. I think I've spent too much time on the internet today.
LOL! Me too!!
Wow, that last picture says it all. You look great!
You look terrific! Thanks for the inspiration!
When you mentioned the rope climb, I knew you were from my era. Can you imagine a school allowing kids to climb a rope these days?
My body was on the exact same trajectory as yours except that I hadn't been crushed in a freak accident and remained very athletic. Odd, huh? As you put it so well:
It was SAD, but true…
Great job.
Toot those horns of yours – Baritone and metaphorical! Well done!
Your A1C is still in the 'Risky" zone above 5.5 or so – but did the huge drop in triglycerides and overall blood glucose negate that risk? Are you no longer condidered a risk for Type 2 diabetes? The edema was surely carb-related water retention – excellent job on getting rid of it.
Amazing transformation! I will be forwarding to my parents who say they are "too old" to make any lifestyles changes. I say never too old (and besides they are only in their early 60's). Thanks for another weekly dose of motivation!
Shirley, you can add our family to your 'never too late' arsenal . Husband and I made the transition 5 years ago while in our late 60's.
My mom went Primal in her 70's (hubby and I already were).
Love your sense of humor and your story. We are all on a journey and yours seems to be heading to a good place. Excellent all around.
Great Story! I love to hear about other 'vintage' success stories. Yours was very inspirational. Thanks
This just proves it does not matter where or when on this life journey you start. You just need to start. The pic says it all. GROK ON.
Wonderful story and great transformation! Did the cats improve their stats too?
"And I don't miss pop or fries or hot dogs or breakfast cereal or juice or pasta or bread." I agree (except for the fries which I still have), but I do look at the other things and think, "what a waste." The fact that I don't miss bread is beyond me, I never, never thought that would be the case. Good job Mark W.
I don't miss bread either, and I thought that would be the real stumbling block for me. I used to love my butter-soaked toast every a.m. I don't eat bread substitutes either since most are full of unappetizing junk ingredients. Easier to just skip the whole bread thing altogether.
Great transformation, Mark! You are a gifted storyteller.
Great story Mark! Nice to hear from a fellow Ohioan (though I myself am originally from IL). And sorry but I'm rooting for Michigan today. 🙂
As a grad of tOSU along with my wife and son, I direct a good-natured BOOOO your direction Erin! 😉
Great work! I love your story – it has all my favorite elements of a good story: marching band, cats, and working in a cube farm. Grok on!
Beautiful story Mark. From that last photo, I would say that the leaves should be afraid…very afraid!
Good work brother, I'm following up behind ya. My LDL was 110 and my Dr. wanted to put me on statins, no way. Been Primal for 6 months now, 10lb. And yes I'm working for those abs too.
This has made me less fearful of growing old. Thankyou.
One of my favorite Friday Success Stories ever!!! And GO BUCKS! What an amazing transformation. I'm going to show my future band-geek kid this one.
Wow, you look amazing! Hats off to you and your wife! And I love the way you are holding that rake like a spear ;-). Grok on!
Thanks for sharing your story, Mark. So glad to see your #s improved during your Primal lifestyle journey. I refuse to take medication as well.
Very inspirational and gives me hope for my future success. 🙂
YAY!!! I love this story – congrats to you! (love the rake picture… 🙂
Hi Mark. Congratulations on your transformation. Very inspirational and you look fantastic!!
I changed my cat's diet not long after I went Primal. They now eat raw and grain-free and the same thing happened. They eat less and they don't hassle me for snacks between meals. Also they look healthier. One has lost weight, which he needed to, and another has gained weight after being scrawny all her life. Maybe Mark S needs to do pet success stories alongside the human ones. 😀
Hi Mark,
Congrats on your amazing story and transformation of you (and your wife!)
I'll send this to motivate my Dad- he's been dabbling in the Primal way.
Can I ask a favour? I see you play the euphonium and my Dad loves it! And I've been looking for a CD he has tried in vain to find- called Midnight Euphonium. Any chance you might know where I can find it? If you do, please PM me!
Thanks a million and Grok on 🙂
Now that you possess a healthy, strong body to go with your wonderful sense of humor and humility, Mark, you have truly dotted the "i"! Great job!
Mark, big congrats to you and your wife for your improved health going primal! So happy you are pain free and happy. Grok on 🙂
A fabulous story that has me grinning from ear to ear. Very inspirational. Fantastic picture, you really do look in the prime of health!! Thanks for sharing your story.
Great story.. I love your writing style as well!!
Add me to another in the camp whose mother thinks she is too old to attempt such a dramatic dietary change. I have tried to tell her that it is *more* important that someone her age get her health under control, but she doesn't want to listen.
She will be getting a link to this article in her email this morning 🙂
Holy S*** !!!
Hawt 🙂
Dude, my abs are jealous of your abs. Excellent job in numbers and body composition. Old guys rule!
Congratulations ,looking good!
great story!! I've dabbled with grain-free for my cat but the cost of the food seemed so high. Maybe if I stuck with it, I would notice he doesn't need to eat as much either? I've had him on Purina Beyond the last few years which is salmon and rice. No corn, wheat, or added artificial things.
Awesome story! Thank you for sharing 🙂
For those of you debating changing your pet food – do it! I switched my 14 year old cat to Blue Buffalo grain free food, and within weeks he lost fat, gained muscle, stopped throwing up all the time, and is generally in better spirits. Not bad for a grouchy old man! Totally worth the extra cost.
Thank you so much for sharing – and congratulations! You are an inspiration to all.

I just redesigned the character template: Template:Character Info.
It is now much easier to change the template colors based on the character statuses, and you don't have to be an admin to change those colors or add new statuses now.
|Entering the following
{{Character_Info |name = Undead status |status = Undead }}
|The other three templates changed by status
The new Template:Character Info is easier to read, and easier to add new entries too as the need arises.
You can now use both lower case and title case (Undead and undead).
Template colors and adding new statuses are changed at : Template:Color
Hope this helps.

"On my way to Texas", I thought. I was in California job hunting but I received an email from an old friend, Justin, that him, myself and another friend of ours, Jason were going to meet in Dallas for the good ole' times.
As the plane began to ascend into the air, I began to think about how long it had been since I'd seen Jason or Justin. I must have been at least 4 years, since we had all began College. I, myself being nonathletic and clumsy, attended The University of North Texas to pursue a degree in Chemistry and Vocal Performance, both degrees that sounded safe. I know, right? Who is crazy enough to major in 2 completely different fields? Anyways, Justin, the most athletic and driven man I've ever known, stands at 6'6'' and weighs a good 280lbs of pure muscle. He attended Howard Payne University to pursue a degree in Kinesiology. Of course, right? Now, on to Jason, the bad boy and delinquent of our Triangle. I'm not even sure if he's still in College anymore. He was attending the local community College in our hometown, but knowing Jason, that has all changed.
If you couldn't already tell, I'm the practical nerd of the group. I'm was always okay with being the nerd. If either Jason or Justin ever needed help with homework, I was more than willing to help. That might have made me sound like the gay nerd who wanted some action from these guys, trust me I wasn't looking. In my mind the "gay" topic was always taboo with the J's [I'll be referring to both Jason and Justin as a whole like this]. Justin was always the ladies man of our group. I was never and still have never been in any type of romantic relationship, whereas Jason, he threw girls around right and left after he had sex with them. In summarization, I'm not as manly as Jason or Justin. Justin is the manliest out of either Jason or I.
"Attention passengers, we have reached our intended altitude of 20,000 feet."
The announcement reminded me of two things... one being that no matter how high or how far away I go, I couldn't escape my conscience and my unspoken words to both of these guys needed to be said once I saw them again. Secondly, I could finally go pee.
Once I got back to my seat, I decided to take a walk down memory lane of the day in high school when I first met my J's......
It was Friday, up until then I had never been to a Football game. It had started raining and due to the fact that I didn't have a Driver's License or a car, I was left out in the rain. I felt my muscle becoming cold and weak. That's when I saw Jason, I remembered seeing him in the stands smoking, he rode up next to me in his red mustang and asked,
"Hey man are you okay? Do you have a ride?"
I replied with, "Yeah, my mother should be here any minute."
He came back with, "Would you like me to wait with you?"
Being the person I am I said, "No, you go on home, I'll be fine!" I began to yell because the rain was beginning to pick up.
He said, "Well, hey my name is Jason, Jason Seymour, if you ever need a ride, I'm always around school, okay?"
I replied, "Gotcha!"
He ended up giving me his number, just in case I was ever in bind that which impaired me to get home. I thought it was weird at first, meeting someone on the same day you met them and them giving you their phone number. I dismissed it as a random act of kindness.
As the night rode and rained on, my mother was beginning to piss me off. The game was over at 10:50pm. I called her and told her I was ready at 10:45pm, just to give her some preparation time. Well it was now 11:45pm and no sign of her.
I prepared myself to make a valiant effort to run for it. My house wasn't but maybe half a mile away at most. The bad thing was, I had my textbooks with me. I stuffed them under my shirt and began to run from under the covered part of the building. That was until someone literally stopped me in my tracks.
Justin, the stereotypical Quarterback of the Football team. If you're wondering how he stopped me in my tracks, I ran into him. I fell on my ass and he look as though he wasn't just ran into by someone.
He spoke, "Hey, are you okay? Sorry about that, I really shouldn't round corners that fast."
"Well, I probably shouldn't be running around corners like that when there's a chance I'll run into someone either."
He offered me his hand and I took it. "You're probably right, but it was just as much my fault, Haha."
I asked, "I'm sorry, what did you say your name was?"
He replied, "I didn't, but my name is Justin, Justin Devine."
I said, "Nice to meet you, I'm AJ, AJ Wilson."
"Well, its very nice to meet you. Even though we kinda got off to a rocky start."
"Yeah, I was just trying to get home.."
He said appalled, "WAIT! You were going to run home in this rain?!"
Calmly I said, "Yeah, its not too far! Just about a half a mile from here, not a bad run at all."
"Well, I guess since its not too far from here, I guess I could give you a ride, if you want? It's entirely up to you."
Amazed at how many random actions of kindness that were floating around that evening, I accepted his offer.
When we just in front of my house, I said, "There it is, not much, but its something to sleep in."
Justin asked, "Are you sure? It looks pretty dark inside."
I replied, "Yeah, this is it, my mom just never wants to be at home and my parents are divorced so, dad isn't really around."
With empathy Justin said, "Sorry to hear that man, well, I guess I better be going! Have a nice night, AJ!"
"You too!"
As he drove off, I wondered why the rest of the world's population wasn't as generous as the J's.
End of Flashback
" Attention passengers, please return to your seats and buckle your seat belts, we have began our descent into DFW airport in Dallas."
The sudden realization that I'll be seeing the J's in a matter of about an hour made me shudder. I was so excited to see them after all these years but at the same time, I was scared shit-less......
Hello Readers!
I just thought I'd address you personally. I thought it was important that I had an introductory chapter and I hope you liked it! Please send me feedback via email, and tell me whether I need to continue, or just stop altogether! My apologies for no sex this chapter. Trust me, if you guys give me consent to continue, it will get steamy!

Two Infrastructuralists Look at What Dallas Is (And Isn't) Doing. And Why.
Below, a Friend of Unfair Park takes note of the cynicism aimed at the under-construction Woodall Rodgers Deck Park and wonders, "I wonder how this would have been received if the Trinity debacle had never occurred?" At the same time, urban planner Patrick "Car-Free" Kennedy has penned a sprawling, epic post that, more or less, addresses that very subject and about a dozen others, among them:
Because the rabble is starting to wise up to the way they are treated as a third world country in need of vast infrastructural projects (many of which are unnecessary and bankrupt the city of the long-term), they become further cloaked under a new "guise," public parks and green space. Who could say no to parks, right?
I cannot and will not attempt to summarize; needless to say, it's provocative and worth a read. Or three.
At the same time, Patrick also directs our attention to a new item from Yonah Freemark, the very same infrastructuralist who, last summer, made the case that high-speed rail between Dallas and Houston would be economically viable despite what the naysayers say.
In advance of next week's board meeting, Freemark now takes a look at how Dallas Area Rapid Transit's drop in sales tax receipts could derail plans for a second downtown light-rail line or the Orange Line connection to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. He writes that for now ...
...the biggest question is whether to prioritize the Orange Line extension or the new downtown line, called D2. DART CEO Gary Thomas told Irving leaders that the Orange Line project would come first. Irving has fostered more than $4 billion in development around planned stations partially by promoting the close airport connection. Meanwhile, the downtown line is several years behind the Orange Line in planning, putting it at an inherent disadvantage.
But it's hard to know how the DART system will work when trains from the fully activated Orange and Green lines join the Blue and Red lines on downtown's Pacific Avenue and Bryan Street, the core segment of the network. When Portland opened its new Green Line last fall, it made sure to construct a new downtown alignment to avoid traffic tie-ups on the existing light rail routes. Can Dallas move ahead with the Orange Line, knowing full-well that its fate is to have serious train congestion in the center city without building the D2 link?

- You can set Upload limit on iTransmission torrent client. It is always good to give back the community what you take. Most of us will stop the torrent after downloading it and only a few seed it. We ask you to seed the torrents at least in the ratio 1:1. A minimum of 20 KB/s upload speed is recommended.

|Class Year:
|"The United States seeks a new beginning with Cuba. I know there is a longer journey that must be traveled to overcome decades of mistrust, but there are critical steps we can take toward a new day." President Barack Obama made that bold declaration to a congregation of Latin American leaders during his first year in office. Although Obama has made moderate reforms, U.S. – Cuba relations have stayed largely stagnant throughout his presidency. The embargo remains deeply entrenched in American foreign policy, over fifty years since it was first enacted. In this thesis, I seek to explain why, despite Obama's platform of change and the American public's record-high support for reform, so little has been done. A brief historical overview reveals how the embargo against Cuba has become the centerpiece of American policy through a variety of executive actions and legislation. In particular, the Helms-Burton Act of 1996, which gives control over the embargo to Congress, continues to be an obstacle to change. Although President Raúl Castro has recently made a pivot toward modest market reforms, Cubans continue to suffer through an economic decline as well as oppressive government control. Overall, the Obama administration has maintained the status quo on U.S. – Cuba relations. I then analyze an array of perspectives on the bilateral relationship, drawing upon interviews with experts from the public, business, and nonprofit sectors. Both governments have called for reform, but each faces distinct political obstacles preventing real change. The American "hardline" lobby, which favors strict sanctions on Cuba, has succeeded in perpetuating the status quo and enjoys a surprisingly friendly relationship with Obama. Conversely, the broad coalition that believes normalization can lead to meaningful change in Cuba has been underwhelmed by the Obama administration. Despite widespread agreement that the United States should reform its Cuba policy, there are three major obstacles to change. First, policy reform provides no immediate political benefits for public officials, and voters have generally prioritized other issues that affect them directly. Second, the hardline lobby has been incredibly effective in obstructing change due to well-funded advocacy groups and influential politicians. In particular, Democrats Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Robert Menendez have used their powerful positions within the party to deter the Obama administration from taking action. Finally, the Cuban imprisonment of American Alan Gross is part of a thorny dispute over Cuba's national sovereignty and will likely hamper reform in the future. There are, however, several possible catalysts of change in the current environment. Specific developments across the American political landscape, including government as well as the public arena, might pave the way for change. Building multilateral pressure, including the rising influence of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), could spur the United States to act on Cuba. Lastly, growing areas of bilateral collaboration, including business, security, and biotechnology, could lead to reform. After weighing these factors and analyzing the processes of implementing Cuba policy reform, I conclude that major change is highly unlikely by the end of Barack Obama's term. A perpetuation of the status quo would have critical implications, including the marginalization of international affairs in American politics, isolation from Latin America, and a missed chance for the United States to demonstrate global leadership.

First Time Stained Glass Disaster
Decorating By kerri729 Updated 18 Feb 2010 , 4:17pm by juststarted
I will never try a new technique again without looking for a method or advice from those on here who have more experience. I did a stained glass cake for a friend, didn't read the tutorial on here on how to do so. I assumed that the Wilton colored gels would work just fine and I assumed I could do it just like a FBCT, wow I will never assume again. That gel stuff is so sticky, I flipped it onto my cake this morning, and when I tried to peel the wax paper up, the gel all ran together and some of it pulled up with the paper. what a disgusting mess!
Thanks to my DH for keeping me in check, I scraped the mess off, covered the stain with a bit more BC, then logged on here to read the article. So, I followed the instructions to use piping gel as the outline, then flipped it onto my cake, filled in the colors, and viola! Not as perfect as I would like, but I am chalking this one up to a learning experience. Repaired cake posted here:
The picture looks great. You did a fantastic job. I learn something new everytime I do a cake. If I don't I feel like I've done something wrong.
your stained glass effect looks great!

If you are familiar with Razer Orochi 2015 Wireless Elite Notebook Gaming Mouse, why not let others know?
Please note that opinions expressed in any review are those of our customers and do not necessarily match those of the Play-Asia.com team.
I received this mouse a lot quicker than I expected to and it's been serving me really well since I have had it.
It's really easy to connect to my devices and it just works! The mouse is a little smaller than I expected it to be, but it fits in my hand fairly well and the buttons are really nice on it. Up to Razer's usual high standard.
All-in-all a great buy!

Estimados amigos, buenos días. Alguno de uds. sabe como eliminar los banner que estan en la parte de administración de SpiceWorks?
4 Replies
Apr 8, 2011 at 6:29 UTC
Google translate: Dear friends, good morning. Some of you. know how to remove the banner that are onthe SpiceWorks management?
Hi there. Are you referring to the adverts? There is a subscription that one can pay to have ads removed. As the ads are usually non-intrusive and quite helpful, most prefer to have them present. If your company policy dictates against it, the subscription is quite reasonable.
Have a look at http://www.spiceworks.com/myway/
Apr 8, 2011 at 11:10 UTC
Gracias por responder b0b. Una consulta, SipeWorks es completamente gratis o hay que pagar los US$30.- por mes? o este cobro es para sacar la publicidad del costado derecho de la interfaz de administración?
saludos y mil gracial.
Apr 10, 2011 at 8:04 UTC
Hi again. I might have lost some of it in translation, but I think you're asking if you HAVE to pay the $30? The answer to that would be no, you only pay if you need Spiceworks to work without ads and if you want to be able to use your own logos on the Spiceworks interface. Other than that Spiceworks is in no way crippled. You have total access to all the features and interfaces for no charge. I'd really suggest giving it a proper try on the non-paid version and then decide if you need the removal of the ads or not.
Apr 11, 2011 at 7:33 UTC

In The Light of the World, Elizabeth Alexander finds herself at an existential crossroads after the sudden death of her husband, who was just 50. Reflecting with gratitude on the exquisite beauty of her married life that was, grappling with the subsequent void, and feeling a reenergized devotion to her two teenage sons, Alexander channels her poetic sensibilities into a rich, lucid prose that describes a very personal and yet universal quest for meaning, understanding, and acceptance. She examines the journey we take in life through the lens of her own emotional and intellectual evolution, taking stock of herself at the midcentury mark.
This exquisite memoir is for anyone who has loved and lost. It's about being strong when you want to collapse, about being grateful when someone has been stolen from you. It's Elizabeth Alexander's story, but it is all of our stories because it is about discovering what matters.
A deeply resonant memoir for anyone who has loved and lost, from acclaimed poet and Pulitzer Prize finalist Elizabeth Alexander.
The Light of the World is both an endlessly compelling memoir and a deeply felt meditation on the blessings of love, family, art, and community. It is also a lyrical celebration of a life well lived and a paean to the priceless gift of human companionship. For those who have loved and lost, or for anyone who cares about what matters most, The Light of the World is required listening.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

"Eloquently written, moving and beautiful memoir"
The author/narrator's voice is lovely and authentic as she reads the words she has so beautifully written.
I loved the way she constructed the memoir, how she introduced me to her husband and the life of their family, and how she made me feel the love they shared and the loss they felt.
It was rich, textured, moving, and authentic. It felt like a spoken word poetry session given by a good friend.
Yes... and I think I might listen to it again.
I highly recommend this book. It is a touching tribute to the life of her late husband and of the life they shared together.
Incredibly moving. Incredibly well written. Incredibly honest. I enjoyed this book from start to finish - and highly recommend it!
"A lovely book!"
I downloaded this book to listen to while I walk. The upside of choosing this book for this purpose was that I couldn't wait to get out for my next walk, The downside of choosing this book for this purpose was that I was walking around my neighbourhood bawling. This was a beautiful and touching book that made me appreciate the people and beauty in my own life.
"Poignant, beautiful, memorable and so lyrical."
A must read. Absolutely mesmerizing, deeply moving. A celebration of a man, of love, creativity, cultures, blackness, and transcendance.
"A Moving Account of Love and Loss"
Tender and moving account of the loss of a partner in the prime of life. Elizabeth Alexander writes beautifully and hearing her read is a special treat. I especially like the way she weaves the threads of the story together, repeating details to deepen the reader's sense of the whole. A great read.
"loved it! the narrator was enchanting and inspirin"
the narrator was extremely easy to identify with; very likable. she is inspiring and i would very much like to know her better.
Heartbreaking and wonderful memoir narrated by the author. I listened to this book in pieces, and could always pick up where I left off easily. Emotional... It makes you reflect on your own life. Recommend. Listened on Samsung Galaxy.
This is one of the most beautifully written books I have ever read, full of countless moments of joyful and heartbreaking remembrance.
"Gorgeously written & read"
Elizabeth Alexander delivers this beautiful story poetically. It is a joy to listen to. A meditation on deep love and difficult loss.
"Elegantly descriptive"
When responsibility is the rusted on you when not requested, you either run for the hills or accept it with all your strength. The author describes her life and the lives around her that were touched by a man taken from her far too soon. But it's more than I love story, it's a story that describes how sometimes we don't know we the strength to lead when we actually do. One notable part that I truly enjoyed was mid book when Alexander actually counted the things that occurred and that she and her husband did while they were together. The number of homes, the number of nannies, the number of holidays. Simply breathtaking.

A member of the elite U.S. Navy SEALs died and another was injured in a parachute training accident in Arizona, military officials said on Friday.
The man died after being taken to a hospital for injuries sustained in a "free-fall training" accident on Thursday at the U.S. Special Operations Command's Parachute Testing and Training Facility, northeast of Tucson, said Navy spokesman Lieutenant Commander David McKinney.
The injured man remains hospitalized in stable condition, he said.
"I can confirm that a SEAL died yesterday as a result of the accident," McKinney said. "I don't know what happened or what caused the accident."
No other details were available, and the names of the two men were not released. The accident is being investigated.
SEAL is an acronym for sea, air, land.

Market research firm Telsyte has revised downwards is forecasts for take-up of the NBN fibre network on the basis of expected delays in decommissioning of Telstra copper.
{loadposition stuart}
It points out that, in addition to impacting NBN Co's business case these delays will play into the hands of Telstra and the Coalition> Were the Coalition to win the next federal election it would come to power with Telstra's copper network still intact and could then negotiate with Telstra to use it for fibre to the node, which it has always favoured over FTTH.
NBN Co's stated timetable is that "The [Telstra copper] disconnection date for a rollout region occurs approximately 18 months after the ready-for-service date for that rollout region." Rollout regions are defined by NBN Co but generally comprise around 3200 premises.
However, according to Telsyte consulting director, Chris Coughlan, there is another prerequisite for initiating this 18 month countdown, which is that the PSTN equivalent service (to be provided by Telstra and administered by TUSMA under the new universal service obligation regime) must be fit for purpose. "The PSTN replacement product has to be at a certain level of reliability and the provisioning systems etc need to be sufficiently robust," he told ExchangeDaily.
And he said the 18 month countdown had not yet started in any region. " I asked NBN Co and the answer was, no, the 18 month window has not started anywhere.
"I don't anticipate that the 18 month clock will have started in any area before the next federal election. And that has a big impact on NBN's business plan because there is not way they are going to get 70 plus percent conversion ratio without the threat of disconnection of copper."
And he pointed out that an intact copper network still serving the majority of customers would play right into the hands of an incoming Coalition Government, and into Telstra's. "If the Coalition gets to power I think they will just put the brakes on NBN Co while they examine it."

4.5 stars 11 totalReview Pallavi Ahluwalia
Posted by Raj
After my L1-A approval, through another attorney i got a site visit ,followed by NOIR. I was already fed up with my old attorney and had requested my employer to transfer my case to another attorney and they choose Pallavi.
When I met her for the first time, I was really impressed with the way she heard my case and was so clear and calm in recommending the next steps. Even though I suggested her to do X,Y and Z, She was so clear in what needs to be done and gave me the options to choose from. Ultimately I went with what she suggested and got my L1-A re-approved, followed by multiple fillings, up until the GC final stage. What surprises me with this firm is not that just Pallavi is good, her firm's other attorneys like Mehronissa, Gaganjot and others are as competitive as you can get.
I have gone through multiple fillings with them since the time I choose this firm, I remember Gaganjot working for me on the weekend just because I needed the documents on Monday for personal reasons. Now that's the customer service that sets them apart from other firms. Really appreciate your commitment and support that you provide. Thanks for being with us and helping our community.

I have been to at least 10 different high-profile lawyers about my immigration case, and ended up wasting my money. My brother told me about Pallavi, I thought to try her out as well. I was highly impressed during my first visit. She gave me options that actually SAVED me my money. She is so far the MOST HONEST, ethical, and professional lawyer I've met.
I'm impressed by the knowledge she has about my case, and her front desk staff is AWESOME!!!
Thank you guys for taking such good care of me
Posted by Amit
I met Pallavi at her office and she handled the issue very professionally. She not only refunded my balance but also very patiently explained the steps her office follows for closing a case. She was very receptive to my feedback. We both realized how this situation could have been avoided with proper communication. I found her very responsive and she earned my trust. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone going to a stressful personal situation such as divorce.

As to the post: " Think twice before hiring!!!" This firm prides itself on the representation it provides to all our clients. This representation is described as courteous, professional and ethical. All matters pertaining to this particular representation were handled in an ethical, professional, courteous and expeditious manner. From the filing of the case to the filing of the motion to non-suit the case, all matters were conducted according the client requirements and expectations and to the highest of standards . Each member of this firm prides itself on the quality of the work prepared and performed. However, unexpected delays do occur with courts in reviewing cases and issuing and signing orders. As such we have requested you to come to our office, so that the managing attorney may step in to address your issues and concerns.

I hired Ahluwalia Law Offices to help with my divorce case. Subsequently, we reconciled and I requested them to close my file and refund my balance. It has been more than a month and multiple follow-ups but I still haven't received my balance. I only get a response when I request for an update on my case.
Posted by venka
Ahluwalia Law Offices has been wonderful. My journey started with Ahluwalia Law Offices since 2008 from H1B to permanent residence. I never had any single issues with Ahluwalia Law offices and their staff, they always well experienced, trained and organized to handle all type of immigration issues. They have taken all the stress away from me, and I recommend everybody to contact Ahluwalia Law offices for any immigration and legal issues. Thanks!!!!!
Posted by anonymous
She applied my green card. The case was very complicated but Pallavi and her team did an excellent job and I got my GC within a year.
Posted by Jimmy
The best service i have ever used they helped me from the start till end Miss Pallavi is the best professional they way she treated me not as a client as a family member she is blessing from God very humble and down to earth person very knowledgeable staff " they do what they say" again to me Pallavi means make it happens, seamless, hard worker,do it right first time she is unique and different from other Law firms may God bless you for all hard work you do for individual & community
Posted by anonymous
I am a client of Ahluwalia Law and I am very pleased with the progress of my divorce. I thought it would be more stressful but they are dealing with my wife's lawyer and I only deal with my lawyer. Very satisfied!
Posted by anonymous
I was a client of Pallavia and I am very satisfied with the way the case ended. It was a tough case because of some stuff that happened before I found Pallavi but she fixed it and now I'm a resident of the US. i would recommend her to other people with tough cases.

Data entered into a "Text Area" field occasionally shows as HTML in email notificationAsked by sharecare on August 26, 2014 at 01:47 PM
My jotform sends requests into my customer support software which does not display html in messages. As such, I have my notification from jotform into my support tool sent as plain text. However, recently, special characters entered by my users in the "Comments" field are coming over to my support tool as html code rather than the expected characters (for example ' instead of apostrophes). I've been using this setup for over a year and just recently did I start seeing this issue. Your help is greatly appreciated!

I cloned your form to test it and I was able to replicate your issue. The first image is what shows in my submission view:
The second is what is sent to my email:
It seems to actually happen quite frequently with apostrophes in particular.
I have submitted a bug ticket to see what may be causing this. We will update you in this thread when we have a resolution.
Thank you for using JotForm!
Great, thanks.
This issue should be fixed now. Thank you very much
Kind regards
Indeed it is, thanks all!
JotForm Support
Glad to hear it! Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with and we will be happy to do so.
Thank you for using JotForm!
I have the same problem, with apostrophes but especially with breaks (<br />). Any solution for this? I have tried HTML style emails and Text only emails but the characters remain.
JotForm Support
@ horren, Since the issue related to this question has been resolved, it would be most helpful if you could create a new thread and let us know the form you are working on, as well as the specifics of which characters are being included in the notification(a screenshot of the issue would help immensely) and we will be happy to have a look.

Report summaryCerro Matoso has historically been the lowest cost ferronickel producer in the world. However, it is faced with declining ore grades which is increasing operating costs. BHP Billiton had been looking at options, including heap leaching of low grade ores, which could lead to the doubling of capacity at Cerro Matoso. In 2014, BHP spun off Cerro Matoso as part its move to divest non-core assets into a new company, South 32.

If you've played Portal and Portal 2 over and over, get excited because you'll be able to play a tabletop version of the game this fall. The news of Cryptozoic's game came during Toy Fair, and it's tentatively titled "Portal: Uncooperative Cake Acquisition Game." That's already a good sign. The strategy game will be playable for 2-4 people and has custom playing pieces including "test subjects, sentry turret, weighted companion cube, and delicious cake." I can tell this board game is going to make me hungry.
The idea to create the tabletop version of the video game about puzzles actually came from Valve. They came up with a prototype and worked on it for about a year before approaching publisher Cryptozoic. They apparently didn't have to make huge changes and only had "minimal input." Valve's Jeep Barnett says the game is its own entity:
"This was designed to stand on its own, not as a promotional tool. While it may appeal more immediately to Portal fans, we tried to create something that was entertaining for everyone who tries it."
Sounds great because I'm one of the few that hasn't played the video games.

Nature Sketches for Piano? Impressionistic 'New Age' Style Gains Popularity
Forests, peace, and beauty abound in interesting online piano course!
Here's what this pianist and composer has to say about it:
"December Peace is a piano lesson I created to show how a composition is built up using sections. By working in small phrases, students are able to complete sections quickly and then learn how to use repetition and contrast to compose a complete piece of music."
The online piano course Weiss runs at his website has been going strong for over 15 years now and offers a different approach than what most piano students are used to.
Weiss explains…
"I teach piano a lot like an art teacher might approach a lesson. You have a title - something like 'Hidden Meadow' for example. You also have clear cut instruction on how to create it. I've always admired art instruction books because they spell everything out in a very clear way. It's all 'step-by-step'
Weiss is currently offering a free piano lesson at his website titled 'Forest Interlude.' Find it at http://www.Quiescencemusic.com

UK Goes Vegas With 'Supercasino'
"Although the decision is still to be ratified by parliament, Manchester defeated the two favourites - Blackpool and the Dome - when it was selected by an independent commission for its potential social impact on and regeneration of the area."
"The culture secretary insisted that Manchester would be the only supercasino licence granted during the current parliament. A further 16 large and small casino licences were also announced today, in places ranging from Dumfries to Torbay."
"MPs will probably vote before the summer to allow Manchester its licence, under the terms of the 2005 Gambling Act."
"The culture secretary promised there would be 'no further casinos until proper evaluation over time has been made of the social and economic effects' of gambling. She suggested this would not be before autumn 2010."
"The leader of Manchester City Council, Richard Leese, said: 'This is fantastic news for Manchester and the region. We have always believed that Manchester offers a robust testbed for the successful implementation of this major leisure and tourism development.'"

Nanotec Electronic GmbH & Co. KG sponsors research projects in Universities, Colleges and Academies with products and expertise, since many years.
The funding of a scientific project is carried out under the following conditions:
- it is thematically / innovative,
- it is based on methods of scientific work and
- that its results may have a positive impact on society.
The Germany Scholarship provides financial and non-material support to high-achieving and committed students from all over the world. Modelled after the principle of public-private partnership, businesses, foundations or private individuals sponsor young talent with a pledge of 150 euros per month. The Federal Government matches this amount with another 150 euros. But there is even more: Many universities and private sponsors also support Germany Scholarship holders through concurrent mentoring programmes, networking events and internships.
In our view talendet scientists are the key to Germany's economic future. This has to be supported. Therefore Nanotec Electronic is one of the sponsors of Germany Scholarship.

Students majoring in Mechatronics/Precision Engineering at the Munich University of Applied Sciences developed an automated winding machine for guitar pickups as part of the "mechatronic integration" seminar in this year's summer semester.
A special spring system was developed so that the enameled copper wire did not snap when it was wound onto the spool. For driving the pickup, the NEMA 23 stepper motor ST5918 was used. With the help of a SMCI35 controller, it was possible to actuate the motor in such a way that there is a ramped increase in speed up to a threshold value when the number of windings increases. Then it rotates at a constant speed until the process is stopped.
Furthermore, by using the linear positioning drive LS20, the wire is fed parallel to the rotational axis of the pickup across the whole width of the spool continuously.
From May 14 to May 15, 2016, the third edition of the Ecorace-Challenge took place in Bruges, Belgium. Seven teams competed with their scale models to win the award for the most innovative vessel, the best all-round cargo vessel, the best all-round no-cargo vessel and the the best business plan.
The awards for the most innovative vessel and the best all-around cargo boat went to the University KU Leuven for "Galena", a model of a cargo vessel designed to carry one ton of goods and sail inland waterways. In the future Galena is supposed to sail completely autonomous. The steering of the vessel is powered by Nanotec's PD4-N5918L4204 connected to the gearbox GPLE60-2S-16.
We congratulate Dominic Libanio, Christian Schorr and Pascal Lindemann on winning first place in the regional "Jugend Forscht" competition and on coming in second in the Ideenwettbewerb Rheinland-Pfalz ("Ideas Competition"). The project, which Nanotec supported with motors, dealt with the development of a hand therapy device.
Often, the results achieved by hand surgery and follow-up therapy are not satisfactory because physical therapy is neither prescribed nor performed to the extent necessary for reasons of cost and time. The consequences range from elementary restrictions in movement to significant disruptions in the fine motor skills. The therapy device for the hands shown here is intended to support physicians and physiotherapists. Each finger receives an individually fitted mechanism that is driven by a Nanotec linear motor.
At a Berlin school, the students of Applied Industrial Electronics were commissioned to develop a robot that builds a wall of any height and shape on the basis of custom software. Controlled by an on-board ATmega32, a virtually autonomous wireless vehicle was then constructed within six months. This vehicle is powered by two on-board Nanotec stepper motors, each driving a shaft-mounted, exterior aluminum wheel, thus providing precise position control. Stability is ensured by two supports on the ground at the front and back that slide when the vehicle is in motion and bear part of the vehicle's weight. A linear actuator on the front drives an arm up and down a linear guide. Equipped with an electromagnet, the arm lifts and places the wooden blocks, which are fitted with a metal plate, in a predetermined position. The vehicle's power supply is ensured by means of a 12V lithium-polymer battery. With the help of an intuitive user interface the user controls the vehicle as it travels between the base station and building site to erect a wall of variable height.
Since 2009, the institute for Mechanical Engineering at the Westphalian University of Applied Sciences in Gelsenkirchen has held an annual competition where teams of students develop a machine that has to fulfil a specific task. This year the challenge was to construct, manufacture and program an automated bottle opener for crown corks. After opening the bottle, a defined amount of the drink should be poured automatically into a glass. The winner of the 2015 competition is a bottle opener where the four-member construction team had selected the linear actuator LS4118S1404-T6x2-75 from Nanotec for opening the bottles – the decisive factors were speed and reliability.
The purpose of the Mechatronics and Precision Mechanics project module at the University of Applied Sciences Munich is to create a finished product, including presentation and demonstration, from a project idea or an existing project. The students of the 2015 summer semester embarked on designing a peristaltic pump with a delivery rate of one liter per minute. This involved writing the necessary software, building the pump and taking it into service. The pump is controlled via an Arduino Micro, a board houses the micro controller, parts of the power supply and the motor driver. The motor speed is checked using a perforated disc and evaluated by the software. A Nanotec stepper motor provides the central interface between the software and the design part of the peristaltic pump.
At the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies at the Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen, a student project had the task of reconstructing the "Kentucky Derby" – a country fair game booth. In this game of skill, players adroitly maneuver game balls to urge their mechanical horses toward the finish line. Unlike the archetype, however, this new version has no direct interaction between the players and the course of the game. Instead, the participants are seated in another room where the game supervisor observes them on a camera. The more enthusiasm the players demonstrate as they encourage their horses toward the finish line – by shouting or clapping, for example – the faster the game supervisor moves the horses forward. The horses are powered by Nanotec stepper motors of type PD4-N6018L420. These are controlled by the same software as the light and sound installations – a perfect combination of mechanical elements and audio-visual media.
In the winter semester 2014/15, mechatronics students at the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences developed a table hockey robot as part of a project study. The robot is supposed to replace a player and play against a human opponent, acting completely autonomously and making decisions about the play situation by itself. Both the puck position and its speed are registered by a sensor system and processed by evaluation electronics. The data is then sent to the mechanically-controlled pusher, so that it can move to a particular position and push the puck back. Nanotec stepper motors are used to move the carriages to which the pusher is fastened. The ST5918L4508 provides the right torque for this application and is operated here by the SMCI35 controller.

Nanotec Electronic was on of the supporters of the MALOMAT project, which was developed from students on the Hochschule Augsburg, to provide severely handicapped children a possiblity to paint a canvas on their own.
The Fritz-Felsensteinhaus in Köngisbrunn is a school for physically and mentally disabled children. Painting takes an important part in their education. But the kids are not able to paint the canvas on their own. They show their teachers the colours they'd like to see on the linen and where. Afterwards the teachers apply it for them.
The MALOMAT allows the pupils to do the painting on their own, either alone or two by two. They can chose between three colours and between different difficulty levels. The MALOMAT contains a gearded motor and motor control sponsored from Nanotec.
Something that is not often seen: A kite used to generate wind power. Nanotec supported that project from students of the Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg Heidenheim with SMCI36 and SMCI35 stepper motor controls. With the project, the students gained the victory as European best team in the Baden-Württemberg Challenge des European Satelite Navigation Competition 2011, also known as "Galileo Masters".

In my previous post I discussed three major reasons as to why descriptive words are bad trademarks. They generally will be objected to by the Registry, or they may be allowed with disclaimers and even if they are registered, they may not let you stop someone else from using a similar mark. A common way brand owners try and overcome this is by misspelling DISKRIPTIVE words to try and get them registered as trademarks.
