Obesity and Weight Management
A Fasting Diet, Input Needed
Okay so here`s what I eat almost everyday: two glasses of warm water with lemon 1 banana 1 orange/apple and perhaps a glass of milk/2 roti`s (for those of you who don`t know its like two slices of brown bread) and indian vegetable curry. and every three days I have an egg for the protein.
I also exercise in the evning which burns another 400 cals.
So please tell me if what i`m doing is very bad for me and whether it`ll start screwing with me metabolism and start burning protein instead of fat.
At the beginning of this diet I weighed 123 (56) lbs at 5 feet three inches and after two weeks I weigh 117 lbs (53). I plan to carry on with this till I become 106 lbs (48 kgs) please discuss this with me..
When trying to lose weight, a safe rate is to lose 1/2 to 2 pounds per week (depending upon how overweight you are). You have lost 3 lbs. per week (some of which is probably water) and is too fast from my perspective. From looking at your intake, it seems that you are not getting adequate nutrition as well.I'm an advocate for losing weight at a slow, steady rate by changing eating habits to be more healthful and making sure you have adequate calories and nutrients daily. When you eat too few calories, your body slows the metabolism down to conserve energy. Eating smaller sized meals and snacks throughout the day helps speed up your metabolism (exercise helps too). The goal should be to eat/exercise sensibly and adjust your diet to meet your needs for a lifetime; not to go on and off low calorie diets.I'd recommend that you look at the site http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ and calculate your daily needs (for calories and food groups). In addition, you can use the "tracker" feature and type in your daily intake to see if you are meeting your needs. Another site that can help you with this is http://www.Livestrong.com. A visit to a registered dietitian for more individualized help is also a good idea.Good luck and Happy New Year!

KEEPER Tom Drewitt's spot kick heroics inspired holders Melksham Town to a dramatic penalty shootout win over Bradford Town to retain their Wiltshire Senior Cup at Hardenhuish Park last night, writes CARL FIELD.
Drewitt saved penalties from Dan King and Tom Evans as Melksham won the shootout 3-2 after a breathtaking final had finished 3-3 after extra time.
Earlier, Melksham had twice come from behind as Ben Thomson and Ryan Bennett cancelled out Dan King's brace as the game ended 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes.
Dan Kovacs gave Melksham the lead for the first time in extra time before Andy Gilbert's last-gasp leveller for Bradford in added time in extra time sent the game to penalties.
It was Toolstation First Division champions Bradford - looking to secure a league and cup double - who drew first blood 10 minutes in.
Kieran Baggs' defence splitting ball put King in on goal and he made no mistake, coolly converting the chance to put Bradford in front.
Prolific hitman Sam Jordan was just inches away from doubling their lead on 21 minutes with a shot across Drewitt and then, minutes later, forced the Melksham keeper into a save after running on to King's pass.
Melksham struggled to get going in the first 45 minutes with their closest effort coming on the stroke of half time when Thomson's inswinging free-kick caught a flick off a Bradford defender and flashed agonisingly wide of Lewis Porter's right hand post.
Whatever Darren Perrin said to his players at half time certainly had the desired effect as, two minutes after the re-start, Melksham - now playing down the slope - got themselves level.
Thomson picked up the ball up from skipper David Thompson, got it out of his feet and struck a sweet left-footed shot from 30 yards that zipped off the surface and beat Porter to make it 1-1.
But they were level until just past the hour mark when King curled home his second from 25 yards into the far corner after a good team move to put Bradford back in front.
By now this thrilling encounter was going one way, then the other, as chances came and went at both ends.
Melksham levelled for a second time in the game on 69 minutes and it was Thomson - who had an outstanding game - who swung in the corner that led to the goal, with Bennett reacting quickest in the melee in the six-yard box to bundle home the equaliser to make it 2-2.
Bradford's Jake Hissocks crashed a shot against the post on 74 minutes while Luke Ballinger wasted a couple of sights of goal at the other end as the sides finished level at the end of normal time.
Bradford were once again denied by the woodwork in extra time when sub Shaun Percival unleashed a 30 yard drive, before Melksham got their noses in front for the first time.
Once again Thomson was involved - claiming his second assist of the match - crossing for Kovacs to head home to make it 3-2.
But there was to be another sting in the tale in added time in extra time when Gilbert netted from close range after Bradford had launched one last attack and the ball was flashed across the six yard box.
With momentum now seemingly having shifted Bradford's way, Higdon smashed the first Melksham penalty against the crossbar.
However, it didn't costly as Dan King saw his spot kick saved by Drewitt.
Both sides then scored their next two penalties, with Kovacs and Mike Perrott scoring for Melksham while Dan Fowler and Sam Jordan successfully converted their spot kicks.
Ballinger then blazed over for Melksham while Jake Hissocks did the same with his spot kick for Bradford.
That meant the sides were level at 2-2 with four penalties taken each. Ian Jeffrey scored his penalty before Drewitt saved from unfortunate Bradford skipper Tom Evans to send Melksham into ecstasy.
Bradford: Porter, Reaney, Gilbert, Shanley, Evans (C), Welch (Fowler), Hissocks, Hulbert (Milburn 111), Jordan, King, Baggs (Percival).
Subs not used: Gingell, Webb.
Melksham: Drewitt, Greener (Ibrahim 70), Jeffrey, Bennett, Flockton, Smith (Perrott 55), Ballinger, Thompson (C, Rodgers 118), Higdon, Kovacs, Thomson.
Subs not used: Hiller, Broom.

Volunteers want to help local veteran on Memorial Day
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) -- As the nation honors our veterans, local volunteers are ready to help a local vet. Korean War veteran Bill Quigley faces losing his apartment because the stove didn't pass a housing assistance inspection. But, offers flood in to either fix the stove or get him a new one.
Quigely lives in a small apartment on "L" Street in central Bakersfield. Living on Social Security, he depends on housing assistance from Section 8. But, the apartment recently failed that program's inspection, and it was set to be re-inspected last Friday. Quigley was afraid he'd have to move.
He served as a cook in the Air Force during the Korean War. Now, a stove that won't work in his apartment is causing the problem.
"I've been here 14 years, I mean I'm 82," Quigley told Eyewitness News. The idea of moving is overwhelming, and coming up with a deposit and first and last-month's rent for a new place seems impossible. That's why he called, looking for some help. When his story aired on Friday evening, calls started coming in with offers of assistance.
Chris Stille works for a large natural gas utility, and he saw the story on Memorial Day morning. He offered to fix the stove, and that's all Quigley had hoped for. Stille was at the veteran's apartment by noon.
"I saw he's a veteran, (it's) Memorial Day," Stille said. "When I heard the story I was instantly compelled to see if there was anything I could do." He was there on his own, on his day off.
"I'm going to do everything I can to get all four (burners) working for you," Stille said.
Quigley said the Section 8 inspector had come out a month before, and several things failed inspection. Most of those are the landlord's responsibility, according to a form the inspector left. Quigley said a manager sent workers to fix most of those, including repairs to electric sockets in the bathroom and installing weather stripping under the door.
But, Quigley said workers sent by the manager could not fix the stove. In fact, he said while two burners worked previously -- after the worker left "only one and a half" burners would light.
Stille spent more than an hour at work on the stove. "I adjusted the pilots down, and cleaned out all of the burners and the ports," he explained. "Also adjusted the air-to-gas mixture."
He was also worried about safety with the stove, because the pilot lights had been set so high. "I could smell aldehydes," Stille explained, "Which could be carbon monoxide, as well."
As a long-time tech with natural gas, Stille showed Quigley how to keep the burners clean. He also advises anyone with gas appliances to keep an eye out for any problems. He suggests calling the property manager, or calling the natural gas utility to ask for a technician to come and inspect the appliance.
Stille got the stove working as much as he could. "The burners are lighting off the pilot, except for the one where the needle valve was crushed," he explained. That fourth burner will need a new part, he said.
On Friday, Eyewitness News tried to contact the apartment complex landlord, but a phone number listed was disconnected. And no one answered at the unit where the manager's relative lives on site.
Quigley had somehow missed the Section 8 inspector who came out on Friday. That inspector left a card on his front door.
Eyewitness News had contacted the Housing Authority of Kern County on Friday asking about Quigley's situation. Executive Director Stephen Pelz said the agency tries to work with renters. Section 8 pays for part of the rent, and if a landlord doesn't make a repair they're responsible for, the agency can withhold their portion of the rent payment.
If that doesn't prod the landlord to fix the problem, Pelz said the Section 8 recipient is given a voucher to look for a new place, and they're given four months to do that.
Moving is what Quigley hopes to avoid. Now that Stille got three of the stove burners working, he hopes the stove will pass the Section 8 inspection, and he plans to call Tuesday morning to ask about the impending re-inspection.
The veteran is grateful volunteers were ready to help him. "Thanks a lot," Quigley told Stille. "No, thank you. Thank you for your service," Stille responded.
"You came out on your own, which is really super neat," Quigley insisted. And, if the repairs to the stove don't meet the standards, the veteran said he'll be grateful to the other volunteers who want to help get him a new stove. "That's great," he said about that offer. "Keep them in mind."

BoHo Theatre presents Striking 12, Opens 12/16
Looking for something different this holiday season? Need a break from seeing A Christmas Carol or It's a Wonderful Life yet again? BoHo Theatre has the cure for your winter blues with Striking 12, the clever and inventive concert-musical from funk-rock trio GrooveLily and Rachel Sheinkin, the Tony-award winning writer of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Striking 12 runs December 16, 2010 through January 8, 2011 at the Heartland Studio at 7016 N Glenwood Avenue. Striking 12 is directed by Lara Filip and features performers Eric Laughlin, Mallory Nees, Amy Steele, and Dustin Valenta.
Striking 12 is "a cross between a rock concert and a holiday show for people who don't like holiday shows." Featuring four talented actor/musicians, Striking 12 is the story of a grumpy, recently-single guy who stays at home on New Year's Eve, until a chance encounter with a door-to-door light bulb salesgirl inspires him to read Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Match Girl," and the combination of the two of them changes his life. Frank Sheck of The New York Post described Striking 12 as "a holiday show that has more heart and fun than most of the manufactured entertainments competing for your consumer dollars." Charles Isherwood of The New York Times praised the show as "touching and poignant while at the same time lighthearted and funny." The show was nominated for the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical, and won the Bay Area Theatre Critic's Choice Award.
BoHo Theatre is known for their highly lauded musical productions, such as the recent Big River (at Theater Wit) and The Glorious Ones (at Theater on the Lake), but this is the first time the company has brought their immersive artistic aesthetic to a holiday season show. The choice of Striking 12 as the company's first non-mainstage production was easy: the show is an uplifting combination of music, art, performance, and celebration that embodies the four BoHo pillars of Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and Love in equal parts. Striking 12 is the perfect way to spend a cold winter night in Chicago this holiday season.

Kennedy pulled from game with leg injury
PEORIA, Ariz. -- D-backs pitcher Ian Kennedy was forced to leave his Saturday start earlier than planned after being struck in his left leg by a line drive off the bat of Jedd Gyorko in the fourth inning.
The ball caught Kennedy just below his knee and ricocheted to first, where Paul Goldschmidt stepped on the base for the out.
Rather than have Kennedy test out the leg and throw some practice pitches, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson immediately removed him, not wanting his ace to risk further injury in a Spring Training game.
"That was hit pretty hard," Kennedy said. "It could have been a lot worse. I'm glad I didn't rub it or go down. It got me pretty good. When the ball got to first base, that's when the pain set in. I knew if I stopped walking it would hurt even more. When I got to the dugout and sat for five seconds it started to get stiff."
During his five-minute session with reporters, Kennedy's leg noticeably swelled, but he said he did not think it would prevent him from making his next spring appearance. Kennedy is slated to start Arizona's April 1 opener against the Cardinals.
Kennedy allowed one run to the Padres through his first three innings Saturday and retired the first hitter in the fourth.
That's when things took a turn for the worse. He allowed a walk and then back-to-back homers before getting injured.
"My arm felt good," Kennedy said. "My location wasn't great, especially on the homers. I felt like I was getting ahead and then I couldn't finish off with my pitches. I'm not happy with how my command was. Curveball wasn't that great, didn't throw many changeups, but health-wise overall felt strong."
Except, of course, for the welt on his leg.

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine Denies Kicking Bands Off Shows
In 2005, Megadeth caused controversy when two other acts scheduled to perform Israel's Metalist Festival were thrown off the bill. In a new interview, founder Dave Mustaine clarified what happened.
Speaking to the Israeli radio show Met Al Meta,' Mustaine, a born-again Christian, said that he was wary of being surrounded by people that could have a bad influence over him after his 2002 stint in rehab. After expressing his issues to the promoter, Dissection and Rotting Christ were removed.
"I never said that I hated anybody; I just didn't wanna play with them," he explained. "I was so curious to see the poster for the concert, because it was written in the Hebrew font, or script, or whatever you call it, and then I saw the band Dissection and I thought, 'Well, that's a cool name.' And I looked it up and I went, 'Uh-oh.' So I told the promoter, I said, 'Look, we can't play. We're not gonna play that festival.' I never said, 'Kick them off.' That was the promoter's mistake. The promoter kicked them off. It's hard enough as it is in music to get concerts, so I would never kick a band off one of my shows; I would rather me not do it. And when I said, 'Look, we don't wanna do it,' they, unfortunately, harmed that band."
Dissection frontman Jon Nodtveidt had ties to a Swedish Satanic cult, and, beginning in 1997, spent seven years in prison after being convicted of being an accessory to murder. Nodtveidt died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot in 2006.
Megadeth eventually played a show with Dissection, but as for Rotting Christ, Mustaine said, that they "had a name that was kind of offensive to me. But, you know, that's a personal thing. It has nothing to do with their band or their quality of music or them as a person…What you've gotta understand is my decision not to play with them doesn't have anything to do with their value and worth as people, because I'm sure they're probably really great people. Sometimes we name our bands stuff to get a reaction out of people, and it's not really who or what we are."
Earlier this year, Megadeth were blamed for having Jason Newsted's eponymous band removed from the bill of Australia's Soundwave Festival. Mustaine denied his involvement, and subsequently pulled out after an apology by the promoter was not offered.

Attorney Joe Neeper, 82, was "Dean of San Diego management side labor law" Written by
Caroline Dipping
1:34 p.m., Nov. 15, 2012
Joe Neeper saw the opportunity for creating something new when he was recruited straight out of UCLA Law School to join Gray Cary Ames & Frye in 1959. He parlayed his interest in antitrust and labor law into establishing the first full-time management side practice in San Diego, simultaneously representing such clients as the City of San Diego, the Port of San Diego, and San Diego County as labor relations adviser.
During his 35-year tenure at the law firm, Mr. Neeper developed more than 20 partners and associates to represent large employers in the community as well as public entities, arts organizations and several universities. His prominent clients included General Dynamics, Solar Turbines, the Copley Press and the Zoological Society of San Diego.
"He produced decades of labor peace in San Diego by working
collaboratively with both unions and management," said Pat Crowell, a law school classmate, partner and friend.
Mr. Neeper died of complications from Parkinson's disease on Oct. 29 at his home in San Diego. He was 82.
Mr. Neeper also served as general counsel to the University of San Diego, where he was an adjunct labor law professor for more than 20 years. And he mentored a raft of young attorneys along the way.
"Joe was truly the Dean of San Diego management side labor law," said Rich Paul, an attorney mentored by Mr. Neeper. "He taught us how to be good lawyers, but more than that, he showed us how to be professionals and he modeled how to live as a professional.
"By his example, Joe combined service to clients of the law firm, service to institutions in the community and teaching all into one magnificent career," he said.
In 1982, Mr. Neeper became Gray Cary's first managing partner, a position he held until 1989 when he stepped down to become the firm's first chair.
So respected and renown was his reputation throughout Southern California, Mr. Neeper was nominated to be a member of the City of Los Angeles Employee Relations Board, a role he served from 1968 to 1994. After retiring from active practice in 1995, Mr. Neeper was appointed by Gov. Wilson to be a commissioner on the Public Utilities
Commission, serving almost six years.
Josiah Light Neeper was born on May 5, 1930 in Philadelphia, the youngest of three children to Samuel Neeper and Bess Weller. When his father died, he was sent at age six to Girard College, an orphanage in Philadelphia, where he remained until he graduated from high school and rejoined his mother who had moved to San Diego. Graduating from San Diego State College with a bachelor's degree in economics, Mr. Neeper served two years in the Army in Germany before entering UCLA Law School.
Outside the legal arena, Mr. Neeper contributed to his beloved community by serving as a director or officer for the Old Globe, San Diego Opera, the San Diego Zoo, Scripps Memorial Hospital and the Timken Museum of Art. He felt strongly that professionals held the responsibility and privilege of being advisers to the community's people and institutions, Paul said.

One of my roommates has recently gotten into it and wants to go. I remembered having some discs that my ex gave me a while back, anyway I found this one in a box. Do you think it's good for a beginner?
Welcome. New players are better served by throwing midranges that glide well and don't fade a lot and are easy to get later when the first one wears or is lost. Innova Coyote fits the bill. Mids do not need as much power or as good technique on most areas of throwing to fly well left, right and center out to different distances. The disc you have is ok for headwinds and throws that need to finish left for new players. With added power it will become straighter with still a definite left finish.

Ready Pac Foods Inc. has promoted two managers in its retail specialties division.
Rick Montoya is now the division's vice president, and Sean McClure is procurement manager, according to a news release from Irwindale, Calif.-based Ready Pac.
Montoya had been procurement manager in retail specialties since 2008. He succeeds Ken Ewalt, who ran the division for the past 16 years.
Montoya joined Ready Pac in 1996 as plant buyer and later held several procurement positions before leaving in 2003 to become general manager for Los Angeles-based The Giumarra Cos. He rejoined Ready Pac in 2008.
"I can't express how honored I am to accept this role with Ready Pac," Montoya said in the release. "Fresh produce has played a particularly significant role in both Sean's and my life for so many years. I'm very excited to be able to work together to share our unique perspectives with the retail specialties team in order to build upon the strong foundation that Ken upheld at Ready Pac for so many years."
McClure joined Ready Pac in 1999 as a merchandiser in retail specialties. He was promoted to buyer in 2001 and to senior buyer in 2006. Before joining Ready Pac, McClure worked for retail chain Lucky's.

Well I for one am glad I won't have to see any more Manning Jersey's at Pacer games.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
Wayne isn't giving the Colts a discount IMO because of Manning. If anything he feels like he has deserved a contract extension for the last 2 years and got screwed by management.
The only way I see this team able to keep both is if they cut Freeney and that still goes back to the argument that this team isn't the same team that won in 2009 or 2010.
You think everyone will just trash their Manning jerseys and act like he never existed?
And the Pacers. Maybe they'll get more local media attention
I'm gonna miss Manning. That guy's pretty good!
I told my professor I was going to miss his class today to watch the press conference. He agreed on the condition I write about it. Here's what I've got:
It happens. Iconic athletes inevitably move on. Michael Jordan finished his career in Washington; Ray Bourque left Boston for Colorado – finally winning that elusive Stanley Cup; Joe Montana retired a Kansas City Chief. There is nothing unique about the decision by the Indianapolis Colts to release Peyton Manning Wednesday. It makes sense– from both Jim Irsay and Peyton Manning's perspective. So when Manning and Irsay stood in front of that familiar Colts backdrop on West 56th street they weren't exactly breaking new ground. They were merely finalizing the inevitable end we all had been slowly coming to grips with. To say the press conference was akin to a beloved pet being put down would be inappropriate – it was much more like losing your 87-year-old grandfather.
At noon Wednesday the entire country stopped to watch it all – officially - come to an end. CNN and Fox News both carried the press conference live. And while the collective hearts of an entire city were being gently plucked from their chests, the rest of the country saw what those in Indianapolis had the privilege of knowing for years. If you had never seen or heard anything about Peyton Manning, you would've learned all you needed to know watching that press conference. He started by trying to keep it all in perspective – sending his thoughts to the victims of the tornados that ripped through Indiana, and other parts of the Midwest. The most choked up Manning got was when he talked about his relationship with the Colts' equipment guys. Peyton summed it up best, in that boyish southern drawl of his: "It sure has been an honor being quarterback of the city of Indianapolis these last 14 years".
The national media will undoubtedly spend the day discussing the impact of Manning's presence on the Colts over his career here – taking a perennial loser to perennial Super Bowl contender status. They'll talk about what it all means for the Colts going forward, about what big shoes Andrew Luck must fill, and finally they'll move on to the 'big' story. Where will Peyton sign? ESPN will send it's usual army of reporters to follow every mind numbingly minute turn the story takes – or could take. Rachel Nichols is probably already reporting live from Manning's driveway.
While this discussion is all relevant and expected, given the scope of Manning's impact on an entire city, it will all feel shortsighted and beside the point. Peyton Manning didn't just take a 3-13 team and turn it into one of the league's most dominant teams of the last decade. He took a basketball town and turned it into a football city. In a state that Oscar Robertson and John Wooden called home, Peyton Manning managed to be transcendent in a way Hoosiers had never experienced. In 1998 – Manning's first year with the Colts – Indianapolis had only been home to an NFL franchise for a little over a decade. Generation-s of Colts fans did not exist. Playoff appearances were practically unheard of, and for the most part the city remained content in its familiar role as the basketball capital of the world. Peyton Manning has been quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts for just under half of their existence (lining up under center 48.6% of their time in Indy). It's hard to quantify just how much he's meant for the city. One could point to the colossal brick monument to football he built by hand (and that's not entirely hyperbole), or to the almost unfeasible feat and civic pinnacle that was Super Bowl 46. But perhaps Peyton's impact on the city of Indianapolis is best displayed by simply driving around town. EVERYTHING is plastered with Colts regalia – horseshoes painted on windows of buildings, Colts flags hanging in place of American flags outside houses and from the windows of cars, bumper stickers, hell there's even a building painted Colts blue downtown. This basketball hotbed has been turned into a strange football heaven. Turn on a Pacers game any given night and count the number of Colts jerseys in the crowd – on some nights they outnumber Pacers jerseys. And they're not all #18 jerseys either – perhaps the most striking statement about Peyton's impact on the transformation of the city. People don't just care about Manning; they care about the entire team, they care about football.
There's no getting around it - Wednesday is the darkest of days for Colts fans. That an entire city is in mourning is a testament to just how much Peyton Manning has meant. There are silver linings to every story – the Colts possess the number one pick in the upcoming draft and stand poised to pick Andrew Luck (I mean, a guy named Luck will be donning a horseshoe on his helmet. It doesn't get more fitting than that). But today isn't about silver linings, or looking forward. It's about reflecting on what has been. It's about getting teary-eyed watching it all come to an end. It's about embracing the feelings of loss and sadness. Like Peyton said, it's about putting things into context. We are only feeling these feelings today because of Peyton Manning. It's kind of like that age-old hypothetical about whether you would have rather loved and lost or never loved at all. The great thing about this version is we don't lose anything. Sure, we can't watch Peyton don the horseshoe every Sunday, but just look at what we've gained – a passion for football. When Andrew Luck takes the field next season, Indianapolis will be tuned in because we care about football, and we care about the Colts. Peyton Manning made us care
Well that is a very nice write up, better than what Kravitz came up with. Kudos to you.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
LT just said Mark Sanchez would likely ask for his release if the Jets sign Peyton. He said Mark got pissed Mark Burnell took snaps in practice and would likely not take well to the Jets getting PM.
The Jets beat-writer said the Jets will be interested if he is ok medically and wants to go there.

I've been flat-out throughout August and September, both of which were record-breaking months for customers served, laps driven and turnover generated.
Year-on-year the public driving sessions have been increasing in popularity for nearly a decade before I first moved here in 2007. Anybody trying to drive more than a couple of laps on a Sunday this year will attest to that.
It's the same story at hotels and restaurants throughout the area. Every week there are more tables and beds shoe-horned into the same size rooms. The ED gas station on Dottinger Hohe sells more Super Plus from its eight pumps than some of the biggest 24 and 32-pump stations on the autobahns.
four consecutive days of public opening and many companies around here will make as much in one weekend as a whole regular month.
And if the over-crowded tourist sessions don't float your boat, the track day scene here has been booming too. For me, this culminated in the two day Nurburgring Evo event by Gran Turismo Events where over a 100 participants forked out over €2,000 each for two days of high-living in the four-star hotel complex and out driving on the Nordscheife. McLarens, Paganis and Bugattis were all in attendance, to the point where an M3, GTR or 911 GT3 looked like a 'cheap' entry. Tomorrow the first attendees will arrive for the sixth UK-operated Destination Nurburgring track day. To give you an idea of how popular a regularly-priced £500 event is, this was booked out before summer even began...
2013 24-hour races have been confirmed for May 17-20 next year. Thanks to the Bank Holiday weekend here, that's a Friday to Monday event. Other major ADAC events are expected to follow soon (Classic Eifelrennen, Truck GP, etc...).
So while the deserted museum, lonely arena and abandoned rollercoaster are a nearly-half-billion euro disaster, the racetrack itself is still growing every month. It's for that reason that I just can't or won't believe that the bit we love is under any real threat of failure. As the politicians try to pin the blame on each other, and the Ring Werk complex struggles to open each day, don't think for a moment that you can't come and enjoy the real Nurburgring still.
Because you can. Only when the public stop enjoying the 'ring and spending money here will this place be in serious and imminent danger. Don't panic, keep lapping.

Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
not being able to watch this game is killing me, sounds like lots of little highlights going on. with the way my schedule being so hectic won't be able to watch many this year was hoping this one would be on.

Paul George missed 10 of 14 shots, still finished with 20 points thanks to a perfect performance from the line (11-11). The stars in this league put points on the board despite poor shooting nights.
This bench is going to be FUN to watch this year.

Plumlee with one rebound in 18 minutes. That gives him seven in 53 minutes in the first three preseason games.
Despite hearing the Pacers compare Plumlee to Jeff Foster, I fear that his motor might be more David Harrison than Fiesty Foster.
Just got home from the game and some thoughts.....
Green is going to be awesome for us. Sweet stroke from outside and mad hops.
David West looks oh so comfortable and that shot from the just inside the free throw line is as automatic as ever.
Psycho B should be on this team. Can't say I feel the same way about Psycho T. His spazzball style and in-ability to find the bucket or kick it back out don't look to have improved from the end of last year.
Roy had several sweet blocks that had me yelling "Smothered Chicken."
The G2 Zone is a nice addition. Great enthusiasm. Had my boy up and clapping along with them all game long. And thanks for tossin the t-shirt over to us, fellers. That was pretty cool. Felt bad for the girl that ate it over the chairs on her way down to lead some cheers. That looked like it hurt.
Gonna be a great year.
Just for info. I contacted directv about the blackout. The guy I spoke to said that the reason it was blacked out after the start was because the NBA contacted them and requested the black it out due to ticket sales. Not sure what that means but he assured me it would not have been blacked out on FSMW.
I am telling you all, Green will be a 6th man candidate at the end of the year, and might just win it if he can put up numbers on this team. When a guy can come in off the bench and do what he does he will quickly earn the title super sub. We gonna see line ups with Hill, Green, George, Granger, and Hibbert. Especially if Tyler continues to stink it up. Danny will move over to the 4 to sub West and bring Green in off the bench and the Pacers will run teams out the building. Its gonna be nasty.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
My company has a suite this year and I was able to use it to go to the game last night. Best seat I've had in a loooooong time. Game was pretty good, especially for preseason. The only disappointment was the new scoreboard not in use yet. I don't have any deep analysis of the players, the known players performing about as expected. I thought everyone looked pretty good with the possible exception of Tyler. He seems to be a good practice squad kind of guy to me. Can't wait for the regular season to start. Highlight of the night for me was meeting Slick and getting a picture with him. Wish I could figure out how to post it, but it says the file's too large.

A YOUNG boy who was badly hurt in an accident at Keighley's North Beck remains critically ill in hospital.
Police confirmed the news earlier today. The eight-year-old was injured on July 27 after falling into the water at Tinker Bridge, off North Dean Road.
It is believed that the boy hit his head when he fell in, and was unconscious beneath the water's surface for about five minutes.
Nearby residents were alerted by a group of children, and a fire fighter pulled the boy out of the beck following a search.
Since the accident, the emergency services have urged people to steer clear of playing in rivers, lakes and canals.
At least one Keighley councillor has called for safety warning signs to be installed at Tinker Bridge to help prevent another tragedy.

The Factual MurderLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
There are five people. One of them shot and killed one of the other five. Which man is the murderer?
1. Dan ran in the NY City marathon yesterday with one of the innocent men.
2. Mike considered being a farmer before he moved to the city.
3. Jeff is a topnotch computer consultant and wants to install Ben's new computer next week.
4. The murderer had his leg amputated last month.
5. Ben met Jack for the first time six months ago.
6. Jack has been in seclusion since the crime.
7. Dan used to drink heavily.
8. Ben and Jeff built their last computers together.
9. The murderer is Jack's brother. They grew up together in Seattle.
HintObserve the clues closely.
Answer1. Jack is not the murderer, because he is the brother of the murderer. 2. Dan can't be the murderer since he ran a marathon, and the murderer recently had his leg amputated, and wouldn't be running a marathon of any magnitude that quickly. 3. Ben is not the murderer if he just met Jack, since Jack and the murderer grew up together. 4. This leaves Jeff and Mike. Since Jeff is still alive (he wants to install a new computer next week, present tense) he must be the murderer. Mike also didn't grow up with Jack. It has been determined that Jack, Dan and Jeff are all alive. Ben must also be alive since Jeff plans to install Ben's computer next week. This means that Jeff killed Mike.

Coming off the heels of penning Mass Effect: Redemption and the gripping finale of Knights of the Old Republic, writer John Jackson Miller introduces us to Kerra Holt, a young Jedi who's about to realize that her role in the galaxy is far more important, and vastly different, than she could have ever imagined. Set one thousand years before Star Wars Episode I, in a time referred to as the "Dark Age of the Republic," this story takes place in an era when the Sith were legion and the Republic was strained to the breaking point, leaving large swaths of the galaxy with no one to turn to. This pivotal time in the history of Star Wars has been largely unexplored, until now.
Additionally, for the first time ever, the writer of this new comics series will also be authoring a novel for Del Rey Books, set in the same era and involving the same cast of characters in an all-new adventure.
"There's such wonderful chaos going on in the galaxy in this period," said writer John Jackson Miller. "More than a generation before Darth Bane introduced the Rule of Two, Sith Lords are colliding not just with the Republic, but with each other. Kerra's going to find that good intentions just may not be enough in a galaxy gone mad! This is a wide-open area to explore, and I'm thrilled that Dark Horse and Del Rey have given me this opportunity to do so."
"With John writing both the comics and the novel, Knight Errant will be a Star Wars story on a scale we've never undertaken before," said comic-series editor Dave Marshall. "This will be a first-of-its-kind opportunity to introduce the Expanded Universe of the Dark Horse comics to the fans of the Del Rey novels and vice versa!"
With more news in the coming months, look for Star Wars: Knight Errant to arrive on shelves later this fall.

Topic: Almost two years cancer free
Nearly three years ago, my husband was told he had bile duct cancer. After twenty years with PSC, the inflammation had finally wreaked havoc on his liver. I had thought the diagnosis was a death knell. Fortunately, he was treated at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester by Dr. Gregory Gores. Gores is a miracle worker, and those of you who haven't heard of him should Google him right now. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Still with me? Good. The Mayo Clinic is one of the few clinics that will do a transplant on someone already diagnosed with cancer. Just because your doctor says he or she can only offer palliative care, that's not necessarily true. Check out the Mayo Clinic first. If the cancer has spread outside the bile ducts, then the treatment is still only palliative, even there. But if you have caught it early, then go to Mayo. They saved my husband's life. He was given radiation (internal and external), chemo and had a living donor liver transplant. Today he is stronger than ever. A few months ago, we returned from a month long trek in the Himalayas! There can be life after cc. My husband is living proof.

I see this as a 1 and 1a CB position. Both guys are talented as hell and with them both on the field at the same time it could make a big difference. There will be an adjustment period but by half way through the season we will be upgraded with these two out there.
Powers is semi-decent-size fish in a little pond... but he's not a bad corner. I'd say Davis is easily a more talented and gifted cornerback, especially if he matures and brings it every down.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Davis will be guarding the best WR on the field. Not a question about it. Hes much more physical and talented then powers. However Powers is what I believe a high-end #2 CB. Our CB duo has to be one of the best in the league now.

Stocks Appear Poised to Pause
Wednesday's index action put the broader market at its most overbought level of the past six years. Not every extremely high reading has signaled an imminent top. The chart below shows many false positives.
Key market tops have red stars and the most recent excellent buying opportunities have green stars. These make sense when you see the same points in time highlighted on the chart of the SPDR S&P 500's (SPY) price movements over the identical period from March 2007 to the present....162 more words left in this article.

EVERYBODY walks, but if you really like walking, check out the cross-county extravaganza that is the Herefordshire Walking Festival this month.
Now entering its 13th year, the festival celebrates some of Herefordshire's most beautiful and best-trodden paths.
Herefordshire Walking organiser Lisa Richardson said: "We are so happy to be working together to bring more walkers not only into the county, but also for residents to explore other parts of the county, they wouldn't generally visit or even be aware of".
Running from June 12-22, this year's festival will, for the first time, include routes over Hereford's new Connect2 suspension bridge.
It will also include walking with poles – Nordic walking – peregrine falcons at Symonds Yat and dog-friendly routes.
There is a full selection of guided walks taking in the length and breadth of the Herefordshire countryside.
Starting in 2002 as a show of solidarity among walkers following the foot and mouth crisis, the festival has gone from strength to strength.
This year it has been taken over by a group of enthusiasts and local businesses set on bringing the joy of walking to as many people as possible.
Ms Richardson said: "Being our first year as a voluntary organisation made us apprehensive as to how much of a success this year's festival would be.
"Our worries were unwarranted as ticket sales are up on last year's sales at this time with very limited availability on some walks".

Plouffe honors mom with pink bat, gear
DETROIT -- Major League Baseball's Mother's Day initiative has always meant a lot to Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe, as his mother, Diane, is a breast cancer survivor.
But last year, Plouffe wasn't allowed to use a pink bat to honor his mother and others affected by breast cancer, as MLB had an exclusive partnership with Louisville Slugger, and Plouffe uses a MaxBat.
Plouffe, however, still used his pink MaxBat last year despite the chance of being fined, and ultimately never was fined for his actions. But this year, MLB made the decision to allow all manufacturers to produce pink equipment for Mother's Day.
It was welcome news for Plouffe, who talked to the head of the Players Association, Tony Clark, during the offseason about the issue.
"I think it was a little bit of a flaw in the system last year, so I talked to Tony Clark in board meetings," Plouffe said. "Before it all changed, we actually came up with a different plan we were going to bring to the Players Union about using a different color bat besides pink that would still have the same effect, but be legal. But everything is changed now, and every MLB product can use pink now, which is the way it should be. It's definitely better than last year."
In addition to his pink bat, Plouffe also wore a pink shin guard while batting and pink wristbands. He said he was honored to do it, especially considering all that his mom went through as a breast cancer survivor. She was diagnosed when Plouffe was a freshman in high school, but has been in remission for about eight years, according to Plouffe.
"It means a lot," Plouffe said. "I know she is always looking forward to today. I know it brings awareness to the foundations and brings money to a good cause. And more important than that, it's just showing we're supporting those people who are going through tough times. It means a lot to them."
Plouffe wasn't the only Twins player using a pink bat against the Tigers on Sunday, as he was joined by second baseman Brian Dozier, first baseman Chris Colabello and center fielder Aaron Hicks.
Dozier was the only one of the four with a hit on Sunday, but the pink gear might have brought some luck, as the Twins' won the game, 4-3, with an eighth-inning rally.

What's being said
Has ADA Tess Allen been reported to the Disciplinary Committee?
Has Justice Demarest been reported to the Committee on Judicial misconduct?
When is the Brooklyn DA's office going to stop being the worst office in NYC?
It must be snowing in hell.
Bravo to Mr. Hamblett and Judge Garaufis for reporting and speaking out
regarding how our system can destroy the life of an innocent person in a case
which was "Rotton From Day One." It is a rare opportunity to evaluate the
integrity of our government and public officials whose reputations are entitled
to more protections than the People (you and me.)
An unconscionable failure of our justice system having now come to light, the
real question is: What are we going to do about it?
I don't think anybody expects our system to be perfect, but will it do the
responsible thing to address the harm it has caused, and take concrete measures
to prevent recurring failures of this kind? The State's Apology is insufficient, even if the defendant is not a model citizen.
Will the "overzealous and deceitful trial prosecutor" remain licensed to
practice in NY? What about Judge Demarest?
Will there be any investigation of how such prejudicial behavior and bad faith
can exist in the District Attorney's office?
Will section 487 of the Judiciary Law be applied?
What about conspiracy and perjury laws?
Was there any comment from Attorney General Eric Schneiderman? Chief Judge
What actions will be taken by the Commission on Judicial Conduct and the
Attorney Disciplinary/Grievance Committee? Have there been prior reports of
bad faith conduct by these individuals and agencies?
Also, why did multiple Justices in the AD 2d Dept. fail to recognize a case so
obviously "Rotten From Day One, and an unreasonable, incomprehensible Judge?"
Are they not charged with sufficient insight to see past differences in the
abilities of opposing attorneys, identify flimsy evidence used to falsely
imprison a person, and rule in a manner that promotes justice?
Since these agencies operate in secrecy, we rely on reports from courageous
individuals, such as Mr. Hamblett and Judge Garaufis to keep the People
informed. Eternal vigilence, the price of freedom, can never be achieved
without transparency.
I eagerly await your follow up reports....
One thing I don't understand is how the defense attorneys could be "indolent and ill-prepared" yet make "powerful arguments" to the trial judge.
Wow. And I thought Judge George LoPresto, Queens Criminal, was kidding when he told me, on the record "Guilt or innocence doesn't matter". Used to be a time, when a prosecutor who instructed a witness to lie on the stand, WOULD BE PROSECUTED THEMSELVES. Wonder why that changed.......
One poor soul wins after most of his active life is gone. The prosecutor and judge shrug. No one will ever punish the. And, of course, untold numbers of potential innocents continue to be prosecuted by those who lack a shred of honor.
It is a shame and danger to everyone that so many crimes can be committed by individuals working on the government"s behalf with impunity. It is apparent that the applications of dishonesty applied to court and prosecutorial services is not only a travesty of justice but also a public health issue that subjects numerous individuals to deprivations of human rights. There should be accountability for those that thumbs their noses to the laws and the Constitution.

Ross receives warm ovation from Giants fans
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- D-backs outfielder Cody Ross received a warm ovation Sunday at Scottsdale Stadium, as the former Giant and 2010 postseason hero faced San Francisco for the first time since leaving after the 2011 season.
Ross, who signed autographs for a handful of Giants fans prior to the game, struck out looking at a cutter in his only at-bat against Barry Zito.
"I've been around a lot of people and a lot of Giants fans, and they're welcoming," Ross said. "Warm ovation when I ran out. It was a good feeling."
Ross, 32, signed a three-year deal with the D-backs this offseason, returning to the National League West after a one-year hiatus in Boston. The Scottsdale resident said he and his wife were ecstatic to stay at home.
Ross said he was hoping to land with a West Coast team, and even received a call from the Giants early in the free-agent process telling him to keep them in mind. He said he understood he likely was a safety net in case San Francisco didn't re-sign center fielder Angel Pagan -- which the Giants did, to a four-year deal -- but said he was intrigued by the possibility.
"I'd be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind," Ross said.
Instead, he's with the only other team to win the NL West in the past three seasons. The D-backs clinched the 2011 division title by beating the Giants in late September at Chase Field and Ross remembers watching Arizona players celebrate on the field and later jumping into the stadium's pool.
Now, after seeing Arizona dethrone him and the rest of the 2010 World Series champions in 2011, Ross is hoping to be a part of a similar fate this year against the 2012 champs.
"I'm not going to lie, watching those guys celebrate knowing that we just got beat and we're not going to the playoffs after winning the World Series, that's not a very good feeling," Ross said of 2011. "I definitely want to jump in that pool now."

Its Christmas in Georgetown! Located just west of the National Mall is the historic area of Georgetown, DC. Home to some of the oldest buildings, great food and plenty of shops, there is never a dull moment to spend some time here. From December 9th-20th, 2011, Georgetown will host the "12 Days of Merriment", which is full of holiday promotions, contests and activities.
Getting to Georgetown is fairly simple which is located right of the Foggy Bottom metro station, or a small taxi ride from DuPont Circle.
Happy Holidays!

Hence, if the Republican precinct committeemen pick Shine again, knowing full well the man he is, it's because that's exactly the kind of person they want to run the party.
So what is it we have learned of Shine over the years? Shine appeared on the political scene running as a liberal Democrat for mayor of Fort Wayne in 1979. After being rebuffed in his full frontal assault on the conservative community of Fort Wayne, Shine maneuvered himself into the enemy camp, became a Republican and then took over its leadership.
In 2007, he published a letter attacking the American Family Association. The AFA ran ads critical of Tom Henry because of his pro-gay positions, particularly on gay marriage, and his pro-abortion stance.
Those must be sacred institutions to Shine because he went berserk on the AFA. Shine's letter said, "I am so deeply concerned about the perceptions that may be left in the minds of those who hear the American Family Association's radio advertisement."
Shine went on to say, "The hallmarks of my chairmanship from its beginning have been tolerance, inclusiveness and diversity." However, Shine seems to not extend this "tolerance" and "inclusiveness" to those social conservatives who oppose gay marriage. "I will not accept intolerance, real or perceived," Shine went on to write. It makes one wonder if Shine is to the left of Rahm Emanuel on expressing intolerance for those who believe in the sanctity of marriage.
Shine frequently takes credit for the fact that Allen County elects nearly all Republicans to office. This is like the rooster taking credit for the sun coming up because he crows in the morning. This area is extremely conservative, and it's electing Republicans in spite of Shine, not because of him.
The Republican Party is in a full-blown state of crisis at present. Party elite want to move the party even further to the left until it becomes a mere echo of the Democratic Party. Over the years, leadership has used liberal "Republicans In Name Only" to prevent conservatives from making any progress in government. Liberals who masqueraded as Republicans, only to come clean that they had really been liberals all along, include Arlen Specter, Charlie Crist and Dede Scozzafava. The longer it takes Republicans to get rid of these obstructionist liberals, the more damage they do over time.
Right now conservatives are seething at House Republicans, who refuse to use the majority conservative voters gave them to slow the growth of government. This anger may destroy the GOP, and there has never been a more critical time to respond to the conservative base of the Republican Party, nationally and locally, than right now.
Arp's job will be made extremely difficult by the fact that Shine gets to appoint many, if not most, of the people who will vote for his re-election.
So will the local party dethrone the left-leaning party chair, or will Shine's appointees thumb their collective noses at the party base for four more years? We will find out on March 2.

Although jar collecting isn't a hobby of mine, I found this square jar at a flea market recently. It just seemed to call my name. I've never seen one like it and found it's cut in check like pattern very pretty. The front of it has a smooth serfice area as it it once had a lable on it. I'm not sure if it has the original screw lid on it or not but it appears to be quite old also and says Sultana. The bottom has what I believe is a pontil mark from what I can find in researching and is stamped S-128 on the inner circle. Would anyone have an idea of what it may have once contained or any history of this type of jar?

Hi phil-zero
If one gets "attached to meditation" it is wrong meditation. If one gets attached to "absorptive meditative state" it is wrong absorbtion.
There is nothing more to say.

Mystery Meet #2 – Myers+Chang
I first heard about Mystery Meet in Delicious Dishings. The concept is simple. 20 foodies and bloggers meet at a restaurant for a meal. They don't find out the location of the meal until the day before it happens. This was only the second Mystery Meet so some of the details are still being ironed out. Even so, I had a blast meeting some new bloggers and Bostonians who love food as much as I do.
We were given hints ahead of time as to the location of the Mystery Meet. Joyce guessed correctly that we'd be at Myers+Chang. She was also at the very interesting frozen entree event that I went to at Myers+Chang and I know I was excited to get to try an entire meal from the restaurant.
I didn't take many pictures that night because I was just having too much fun. A lot of the food was the same as what I had tried previously. Everything was extremely delicious and fresh. It was all served family style so you could have more of the things you liked and skip on the things that were too spicy for you (I'm a wimp when it comes to spice). We even got to try an assortment of desserts at the end of the night. The meal was $36 not including tax, tip, and drinks. I had a lot of fun and definitely look forward to doing this again!
If you are interested in learning more about Mystery Meet, check them out on Facebook, twitter, or their website. Tickets went very quickly for this event, but have no fear, next month they're going to have 30 Boston foodies at Mystery Meet. Some of the people I met last night include Joyce from Boston Chomper, David, the owner of Boston Chocolate Tours and his daughter Sam, Bianca from Confessions of a Chocoholic, Cynthia from Wicked Tasty Harvest, Emily from Angry Little Chemist, and Daisy from Indulge Inspire Imbibe.

Thanks for the shoutout, Jen! I purposely skipped this one since I figured out the location, and I had just been to Myers + Chang for that frozen food affair… but I'm glad you went and got to have more real Myers + Chang dishes! Maybe I'll see you at the next Mystery Meet! Can't wait to see where it is…
So glad you came out! It was great to see you!
I went to the first one but had a dinner party on Tuesday and missed this one. I love following your blog and hope we can meet at the next one!
How fun! I wish they had something like that around me.. it must be a blast meeting other foodies and eating great food
It was so nice to meet you Jen! Thanks for the blog love! I think I may have to try the recipe to your lemon blueberry ice cream bars. Yummy! Hopefully we'll see each other again in the next one! 🙂
It was so much fun!! It was hard to chat but even so, good to be there with you and everyone else enjoying themselves and the food.
I saw you from across the table but wasn't able to say hi! Loved the recap. Next time we definitely need to meet- Cara told me you were going to be there! Great recap. I have to write mine!
