A good bolt action rifle will give you the most accuracy for the dollar,although I do have a DPMS AP4 that shoots pretty darn good for a 16 inch carbine.

Bart says how do we choose
I would say that if the spread in group sizes is as extreme as your example, we look for a problem in the system. Possibly an ammunition problem. More likely a rifle problem. MOST likely a shooter problem.

One of each.
If we are alike at all, you will probably get one of each.
Choose one today, take your time, put a good optic on it, develop a good load, and shoot it for awhile. Then as time and funds allow, start looking at the other, and narrow down your selections, and find the one which speaks to you in that department.
Over the years I have learned that I enjoy buying and shooting firearms, and one cannot have too many! Just don't be in a hurry, take your time and enjoy the process.
308 is a pretty good choice in cartridges. I do find, however, that I shoot my bolt rifle more than my semi auto, it shoots more accurately, has better glass, balances better, and truth to tell, I just enjoy it more. It helps that the brass is easy to find and I don't have to "do the pickin' chicken" after expending a magazine of ammo, searching about on the ground and picking up brass.
Good luck in your search.

An super accurate bolt 308 costs way less than a super accurate semi 308.

My $.02 is about the same as everyone else's...
Better accuracy for the buck with the bolt gun, due to simplicity alone.
But I didn't see anyone mention that mag length might be a limiting factor with the AR platform, if you want to load heavy VLD's to the lands?
No particular knowledge of that specific application, but if it's an issue with bolt guns, it seems logical it would apply more to the AR...

I think you need to figure out if you want a carry gun or a dedicated bench gun. You aren't lugging a Remington Police around the deer woods up mountains and down for a week long hunting trip. If you want a semi auto, they are more complex and thus heavier than a comparible bolt rifle. If you don't particularly need blistering rapid fire and 4 or 5 rounds in the magazine are enough, a good Ruger, Remington, Marlin, Savage, Howa, Kimber etc will serve you well for a long time. Lighter contour barrels will heat up faster than a bul barrel but keep in mind if you are hunting and not planning to shoot from a bipod where weight is a plus, even a sporter barrel can be very accurate in 308.

I got my M1A for nostalgia and fun shooting at the range - until I put a scope on it. It's 100% reliable, accurate, and balances well - but it is heavy. If I can just find a load with the Nosler 150/168 gr. Ballistic Tip that shoots as good as my target stuff then I think it would make a good feral hog gun. For deer I'll stick with by bolt actions.

With new machining and everything, it doesn't matter if its semi auto or the bolt action. Bolt actions are more elegant and have a legacy over semi auto.
I own PTRs, G3, and M1. LeEnfield M4 chambered 308 is my favorite. I would suggest buy a new PTR91. Nothing beats this in the market than this neat thing. http://ptr91.com/
Buy LC or Seneca Armory ammo and off you o to an enjoyable 308 experience.

rc, you mention lighter contour barrels will heat up faster than a bull barrel but keep in mind if we're are hunting and not planning to shoot from a bipod where weight is a plus, even a sporter barrel can be very accurate in 308.
What does barrels heating up have to do with this?
Properly built with all the right stuff, neither bolt or semiauto rifles change point of impact as their barrels heat up.
Nor does the barrel weight or profile matter. As long as they whip and wiggle the same for each shot, best accuracy is at hand; they do in both types.

Ill just chime in to say that IMO a Semi is not a good " beginners " rifle to go long range with . They can be just as accurate out past fort mudge , but you have to be on your game to wring it out of them , The basics of position, trigger control , and follow through cannot be cheated at all if your shooting much past 500 with them . I love mine but would honestly tell someone starting out on the long range game to get a bolt just because it is imo easier to get good results faster .

i agree that you will find bolt actions to be less expensive then a semi-auto and usually 4-6 lbs lighter, so for hunters that makes a lot of difference to people. Id say if you can find a good deal on a semi-auto go for it, I decided that a FNAR 20" bull barrel for 1100.00 was a great deal. But, I will still be buying a cost-effective bolt .308 like the axis or ruger american too. I decided spend my money on a semi .308 vs a 5.56ar like most.
After i get some rounds loaded- i'll go get some groups for you all.

The DPMS Oracle .308, MSRP of $1099 and somewhat less if you search the Internet, is optics ready. Add a low-budget scope and you will enjoy VERY sub-MOA groups all day long. They are genuine tack-drivers. Sure, a .308 entry-level bolt gun with a factory mounted variable scope, that will deliver equal accuracy can be had for ~$400. But that's the end of it.
The AR platform offers its owner opportunity for almost infinite customization. Swap uppers for more target oriented set ups with long, heavy barrels, even swap calibers for different applications. Multiple sighting and lighting options may be installed simultaneously to address varying circumstances. And if the poop ever hits the oscillating blades, you have a dandy battle rifle as well. Serious hi-capacity magazines, even drums can be had if desired. The AR in 308 is a rifle that will grow along with you, meeting your increasing experience and changing needs or wants at every step. Entry-level bolt guns eventually morph into monuments to diminishing marginal returns.
Nothing comes close to the flexibility, and versatility of the AR15 platform. Buy it right, and resale value stays high. Occasionally, as you can see on auction sites, they even appreciate. Your bargain bolt gun will lose value before the ink is dry on the 4473. You get what you pay for, sometimes, and a .308 AR rifle is definitely one of those times.

IMO a good bolt gun is king for accuracy, I own several of each and my bolt actions are superior for accuracy.
Also IMO, a good "hunting" rifle will hold it's accuracy from 1st shot to 50th or whatever well enough that most shooters will not loose enough accuracy to shake a stick at. For example, my .338 will stay accurate for as long as most anyone can stand to shoot the thing.

Works selected for this touring exhibition to Japan produce a comprehensive overview of French paintings form the core collections of the Musée Fabre, with works by some of the finest French painters, tracing the history of the French school from Poussin in the 17th century, to the late 19th century, and Matisse.
The exhibition includes a number of well-known masterpieces, including Courbet's pivotal work The Meeting ("Bonjour, Monsieur Courbet!"), together with a large number of recently-restored works scheduled for the newly-renovated museum. The present selection of 90 works has provided an opportunity for in-depth documentary and historical research, bringing to light a wealth of new information about the works in the museum's collection, much of it now published in the exhibition's bilingual catalogue.

'"I've never seen such a high prevalence of very sick animals …"
By Summit Voice
FRISCO — Dolphins exposed to heavy doses of oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster are experiencing lung disease at five times the rate of dolphin populations in other areas, federal researchers reported in a new study published this week. The scientists also found that 25 percent of the Barataria Bay dolphins were significantly underweight and the population overall had very low levels of adrenal hormones, which are critical for responding to stress.
"I've never seen such a high prevalence of very sick animals — and with unusual conditions such as the adrenal hormone abnormalities," said lead author Dr. Lori Schacke, who announced similar findings in March 2012.
These findings are in contrast to dolphins sampled in Sarasota Bay, Florida, an area not oiled by the Deepwater Horizon spill.
Oil leaking from the wrecked Deepwater Horizon drilling operation resulted in extensive pollution in Barataria Bay. newly published findings resulted from an August 2011 as part of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment by a team of government, academic and non-governmental researchers. In the NRDA process, federal and state trustee agencies working cooperatively with BP identify potential injuries to natural resources and lost public uses resulting from the spill, along with restoration projects to ensure that the public is fully compensated for its loss.
The publication details the first evidence that dolphins in heavily oiled areas are exhibiting injuries consistent with toxic effects observed in laboratory studies of mammals exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons. The dolphin health study concludes that the health effects seen in the Barataria Bay dolphins are significant and likely will lead to reduced survival and ability to reproduce.
Twenty-nine of the total 32 dolphins sampled in Barataria Bay received comprehensive physical examinations, including ultrasound examinations to assess lung condition. The researchers assigned almost half (48 percent) of the dolphins a guarded or worse prognosis. In fact, they classified 17 percent as being in poor or grave condition, meaning the dolphins were not expected to survive.
The researchers examined alternative hypotheses for the dolphins' disease conditions, such as exposure to other man-made chemicals that have previously been measured in high concentrations in marine mammals and also associated with impacts on health. Blubber samples from the Barataria Bay dolphins, however, showed relatively low concentrations for the broad suite of chemicals measured, including PCBs and commonly detected persistent pesticides, as compared to other coastal dolphin populations.
Based on the findings from the 2011 dolphin health study, researchers performed three additional health assessments in 2013 as part of the Deepwater Horizon NRDA. The studies were repeated in Barataria Bay and Sarasota Bay, and also expanded to Mississippi Sound, including both Mississippi and Alabama waters. Results from these more recent health assessments are still pending.
The research was linked with investigations into unusual mortality events, required under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The observed increase in the number of dolphin strandings now includes more than 1,050 animals that have stranded along the Gulf Coast from the Texas/Louisiana border through Franklin County, Florida. Ninety-four percent of these animals have stranded dead.
The UME investigation, spanning from February 2010 to present, is the longest UME response since 1992, and includes the greatest number of stranded dolphins in an UME in the Gulf of Mexico. Dr. Teresa Rowles, lead for the Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program and a co-author on the dolphin health publication, said that "these dolphin health studies will contribute significant information for both the NRDA and the UME investigation as we compare disease findings in the wild, living dolphins to the pathologies and analyses from the dead animals across the northern Gulf."
Funding for the study was provided by BP and NOAA has shared the data with BP, and they had observers present at the health assessments. They were not, however, involved in any way in the analysis and interpretation of the data nor in the drafting of the paper.

A SPECT scan is a type of nuclear imaging test, which means it uses a radioactive substance and a special camera to create 3-D pictures.

recommended for everyone
for bloggers who will post long articles, it's always best to split these into separate pages so the user does not have to scroll down seemingly indefinitely.
however posting on the front page isn't similar to creating pages. so the usual trick is to do a nextpage, which means although your editing a single post, it will split the content to show visually as separate pages.
problem though was that wordpress removed nextpage from the visual editor which most of us use.
So that is where this plugin comes in, and it does what it says.
You could before have added nextpage in by modifying functions.php and adding the following code
// Start Add NextPage Button // -------------------------------------------------------------------------- add_filter('mce_buttons','wysiwyg_editor'); function wysiwyg_editor($mce_buttons) { $pos = array_search('wp_more',$mce_buttons,true); if ($pos !== false) { $tmp_buttons = array_slice($mce_buttons, 0, $pos+1); $tmp_buttons[] = 'wp_page'; $mce_buttons = array_merge($tmp_buttons, array_slice($mce_buttons, $pos+1)); } return $mce_buttons; } // -------------------------------------------------------------------------- // End Add NextPage Button // --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although i prefer just installing this plugin, so i don't have to constantly remember to manually edit the file whenever i update wordpress.
so kudos for this plugin :}

GREE continues to be in overdrive: very similar to what the company reported back in February for Q2, sales and profit have gone through the roof in Q3 of fiscal 2012.
Net sales reached over 46 billion yen (US$575 million) in Q3, while operating profit hit 24.5 billion yen (US$307 million) – in three months.
GREE's financial report can be downloaded in English from here. I could post all slides here, as the report is highly relevant, but will leave it to these two instead (sorry about the watermark on the first image: sales are up 182% year-on-year):
What's interesting about the report is that:
- GREE has put slides regarding their efforts to make the platform safer for users before everything else*
- GREE isn't mentioning the word "gacha" once in the report but focuses more on real-money-trading, the smaller problem they are currently facing
- GREE's global expansion plans take up more room in the report than ever
*GREE and the Japanese social gaming industry as a whole are currently under fire for using gambling-like game mechanics in their games. Companies operating in this field of business lost billions in market value yesterday after various media reports suggested regulation of the "kompu gacha" mechanic is around the corner.

Sipdown, 135. So glad to get another sample of this from Teavivre because even though I've tried it before, I really like it! Also it's always nice to have teas you haven't tried in a while to reassess your love of a tea.
This one definitely has more of a buttery/creamy smell to it than the Yezi Jin Xuan I just had. It also has quite a distinct taste from other Taiwanese oolongs, namely it isn't as floral and has more of a creamy character that grows with each sip, and a very light sweetness playing around the edges. Still really enjoy this one, and it's still my favorite Jin Xuan so far.

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
At first I didn't like it, and there are still some things I don't like. But it has added some drama and must watch tourneys to the end of the year. So what's your view? Love it or hate it?
I love it. Brings the season to a culmination with the best players of the season competing.
Love it... The more golf, the merrier!
I like it. The course selection puts some wonderful tracks into play and the Tour gets what it wants: viewership and fan interest after the PGA and August swoon
I love it....for many different reasons.
I started a thread about this as well.....I love the Fed Ex cup. Is it a money grab , yes but because of it we have great,exciting golf thru September.
The point system is a little confusing but we have seen all types of players win the 10 million.
Think it has been a good addition to the Tour overall. Provides good closure to the season, in afar better way than many former season-ending events did. Granted, it took some time for the Tour to work out kinks in how to handle it: changes in scoring, changes in format, etc.. I believe it does present a terrific challenge to all the professionals: produce over four weeks (not one). Looking forward to the tournaments all the way to East Lake.
Anytime there is golf on TV, I think it's always good and I watch it when I can. But I don't necessarily follow the FedEx points closely. . . I'm sure it is exciting.
... but my exception is that only the top 5 can win once they get to the Tour Championship ... so why is there a field of 30?
... so I think the points system has to be refined further.
Apart from that think it's a great addition to the schedule.
Hated it the year Spiderman lost to VJ. The formula they were using was just flat wrong that year. Since Furyk in the rain, Haas from the water it has been much better and more exciting.
A good conclusion to the end of the year. Or, the beginning of the silly season.
Love it...it brings meaning to golf beyond the PGA!
It is a great addition to the end of the season. Most of the top players come out and have that chance to win the big money, and they all bring the A game with them. Will be interesting to see who makes a run and who falls out this year.
It's great. NHL,NBA,MLB, all have playoffs to cap the season now golf does also. The FedEx brings some excitement to the end of a long season.
I love it. You get the very best every week as guys are trying to move on. By the end you have the best of the best.

Symbolic, Real and Imaginary
Spitzer makes a gesture of awkward patience, his gaze directed over her shoulder and the remnant of an exchange still hanging in the air.
This photograph of Tzipi Livni straightening the tie of her husband, Naftali Spitzer, was taken by Michal Fattal just before the start of the torch-lighting ceremony on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, which officially launched Israel's 63rd Independence Day celebrations. It's a good photo, proper and balanced, of a "small moment" that tells us quite a bit about the leader of the opposition. But on another level, linked to our knowledge of what happened at the ceremony, it is a prelude to the important, shocking photograph Fattal took in the dark and from a distance, which appeared on the front pages the next day. This was a shot of Yoel Shalit and Ya'ara Winkler being ejected by security guards after they ran into the plaza during the ceremony and rebelled against the annual pastiche of grandeur and mourning, standard-bearers and folk dancers, playback and fire, sentiment and pathos.
Because when Shalit and Winkler disrupted the ceremony with the courage and honesty of those who are beyond pretensions, turning it into one of the most important and fascinating events of the recent past, they redefined the relationship between "public" and "personal." They injected into the realm of the symbolic the unbearable pain of the real, and confronted worshipers of the ritual of loss with the possibility of a refusal to be sacrificed.
But before all that, this "private" moment took place, in which the Kadima leader, wearing a pristine, becoming white jacket, dealt with the tie issue, her face displaying that familiar expression of concentration. Spitzer placed his thumb on the soft back of his hand, speckled with age spots, in a gesture of somewhat awkward patience, his gaze directed over her shoulder and the remnant of a sentence they had exchanged still hanging in the air.
This is a private, representative moment, quite restrained, not unpleasant, mature, which may not have been fashioned for the photo, though one can assume a certain awareness on their part that they would be photographed. After all, as is hinted by the blurred face of Stanley Fischer - sitting a few rows above, on the left - and as Yossi Verter reported in Haaretz, seating arrangements at the ceremony were no trivial matter: Netanyahu's bureau objected to having Livni and Spitzer sit in the same row as the esteemed Mrs. Netanyahu.
When the disruption occurred, Livni, sitting in the front row, propelled by her finely tuned senses and dressed in her knight-on-a-white-horse attire, got up and went over to Shalit and Winkler and reasoned with them. Their conversation was also photographed, and the resulting shot, like this one, can be added to Livni's album of successful leadership images.
Now, after the ceremony, when it is clearer than ever that the Netanyahu government is incapable of coping with reality, and with its head, who is shackled to his wife, singing just one song - the song of terrorism, which to him seems the sole reason and justification for the existence of everything - Tzipi Livni, who is here adjusting the tie of her partner, needs, perhaps, to think about more than representative words of solace. She is invited to look into the face of the real, to articulate a new vision for the Israeli center and to form her government with Zahava Gal-On.

The speakers included Lea Hong '91, Marti Townsend '05, and Lehua Ka'uhane '12.
(Pictured L-R: Bianca Isaki '13, ELP Interim Director David Forman '93, Marti Townsend '05, Lea Hong '91, Professor M. Casey (Jarman) Leigh, Lehua Kaʻuhane '12, and Associate Dean Denise Antolini)
Marti Townsend is the staff attorney for KAHEA: The Hawaiian-Environmental Alliance and a plaintiff in the ongoing contested case against the State of Hawaiʻi Board of Land and Natural Resources' preliminary approval of the University of Hawaiʻi's conservation district use application for a Thirty-Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea.
Lea Hong is the Hawaiian Islands Program Director of the Trust for Public Land (TPL). Prior to joining TPL, she worked pro bono on a case in 2006 contesting the issuance of a conservation district use permit for the University of Hawaii Institute of Astronomy's construction of six 1.8 meter Outrigger Telescopes on Mauna Kea. The state case resulted in an order requiring a comprehensive management plan for Mauna Kea. Lea Hong also worked on a case concerning NASA's NEPA compliance. The federal case resulted in a finding that NASA's Environmental Assessment was inadequate and an order that NASA complete an Environmental Impact Statement.
Lehua Ka'uhane is a third-year law student at the William S. Richardson School of Law and worked with Cultural Surveys Hawai'i on the preparation of the Cultural Impact Assessment for the TMT Project. Lehua has also worked at the Department of Justice's Environmental and Natural Resources Division, externed with the Environmental Protection Agency, and is a member of the National Environmental Moot Court Team.
Bianca Isaki is co-director of the Environmental Law Society, and previously earned a PhD in Political Science. Bianca interned with KAHEA this past summer, focusing on the Mauna Kea Thirty-Meter Telescope project.
The event was well attended by members of the law school and other University of Hawaiʻi disciplines. The panel presentations were impressive and informative. Attendees participated as well by asking questions and keeping the discussion going.
Thank you Marti, Lea, Lehua, and Bianca for a wonderful presentation!

We always enjoy hearing from Kelly in Nutley because of her sports knowledge and the fact that she understands how things work here on the Morning Extravaganza. Case in point, this morning Kelly called up to talk about the Nets and what effect, if any, the move to Brooklyn might have on their modest fan base.
After going a few rounds with Kelly, Craig locked horns with Boomer, as the Dynamic Radio Duo debated whether or not the Nets' relocation will have any bearing at all on the Knicks, particularly the Knickerbockers fan base.
Boomer does not believe it will, while Craig is a little worried that the Knicks' fan base could diminish…

Fibromyalgia and Digestive Problems
Eating is one of the most enjoyable pleasures in life, yet for Fibromyalgia sufferers this is not always true. Poor guts and eating habits can lead to major gut problems, especially in those suffering from Fibromyalgia. Keeping your body in balance through healthy eating and exercising is important for fibromyalgia sufferers. Being attentive to your body will help fibromyalgia sufferers deal with the common symptoms and digestive problems that plague these sufferers.
A good, healthful, balanced diet is a key factor for helping the digestive tract for fibromyalgia sufferers. Digestion problems such as constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, ibs, and other horrible bowel problems are common. We all have different foods that we should avoid and different nutritional requirements for optimal health. However, there are a few things you can do right now to help you with your digestive problems.
Eating a variety of fresh foods keeps us supplied with vitamins and minerals and essential fats that we need to keep our health. Knowing what our bodies need and what our bodies don't need is a key factor in how well our digestive systems help us.
So let's take a look at some general advice that can help sufferers of fibromyalgia deal better with their digestive systems.
First, eat slowly. I know this sounds like your mother but eating slowly and chewing your food well is the first step to good digestion. Your digestive system begins with your mouth and ends, you know, at the end. So having the proper start, by chewing your food thoroughly, helps you on the right path. This gets the proper digestive enzymes going so that processing your food happens correctly.
Second, if constipation is something you struggle with, make sure you are getting enough fluids. Water is a wonderful remedy to constipation and making sure you get enough can help more than you think. On average, a person should drink half their body weight in ounces. For instance, if you weigh 100 pounds, you should drink approximately 50 ounces of water daily.
Third, eating at regular hours facilitates digestion because the digestive system gets used to working at regular times and is more efficient. Efficiency is key to good digestive systems. If your system is sluggish you may have more health problems. Keeping it tuned up will help rid your body of toxins that may contribute to your fibromyalgia symptoms.
Next, your lifestyle can have a major impact on your digestive system. It is really easy to
Lifestyle affects on eating habits and digestion system Never in history has it been so easy to find food, yet it is so difficult to eat right. Many suffer from eating or digestive disorders mainly because of poor eating habits. The rush of modern times has driven many of use to eat too fast, too much, and at irregular hours—often in a stressful environment. Additionally relieving stress often improves digestive symptoms. Stress can manifest itself through the digestive system in the form of symptoms or "signals" like canker sores and / or heartburn. Recognizing and listening to important signals from our digestive system When the body begins to become off balance, we often know it through our digestive system: mouth, stomach, intestine, liver. Staying healthy means being attentive to the signs our body sends us. Homeopathic medicines are a safe and reliable option to restore our balance before the situation worsens, and should be taken at the first sign of symptoms. The homeopathic approach of treating illness is based on the understanding that symptoms are an expression of the body's attempt to correct an imbalance. Because they work with the body instead of directly suppressing symptoms, patients and physicians are able to detect and respond faster should a more serious condition arise. In the case of stomach pain, the body is alerting us that something is wrong. Pain can be a sign of a serious condition, which could lead to the formation of an ulcer or other conditions requiring a physician's care. A painkiller will mask the pain without treating the underlying disorder. Since homeopathic medicines do not mask symptoms, a physician will know if another problem is present and be able to treat it.

Bluster Fluster
What do you mean the Straits of Hormuz are open? How could this be?! Did Iran not promise to shut down the Straits of Hormuz if Europe dared to impose sanctions on this rouge state? Well yesterday after agreeing to help Greece make up financially for the replacement of that cheap Iranian oil, the EU actually got the gumption to agree on an Iranian oil embargo. Now we are just waiting for Iran to follow through on their bold prediction that shutting down the straits of Hormuz would be as easy as drinking a cup of water. Come on now Iran, show us how it's done.
According to Gas and Oil Liquids Daily, "The EU bought 450,000 bpd of Iran's oil in the first half of 2011, or 18% of its total exports. China accounted for 22%, Japan 14% and India 13%. The UK and France have joined the US in sending warships to the Strait of Hormuz. Mediterranean countries that import much of their crude from Iran, such as Greece, Spain and Italy, had argued for sanctions to be phased in over as much as a year." Now after all of the trouble that the EU went through, the least Iran could do is follow through on their bold threat. Go ahead, make my day.
So with Iran sanctions not causing any short-term disruption in supply, the focus will turn to the fed.
Will the Fed lay the groundwork for QE3d? This will be another history making meeting because we will get a real idea on what the Fed Governors are thinking.
Talk about a big fracking deal. Apache is moving forward but Chesapeake is pulling back. Bloomberg News reported Apache Corp. agreed to buy closely held Cordillera Energy Partners III LLC for $2.85 billion in cash and stock, adding to Oklahoma and Texas operations that use hydraulic fracturing to get oil and natural gas. The acquisition will more than double Apache's holdings in the Anadarko basin and add estimated proved reserves of 71.5 million barrels of oil equivalent, the Houston-based company said in a statement today. The purchase will be paid for with $2.25 billion in cash and $600 million of stock and includes 18,000 barrels a day of existing production. Gas prices have dropped to 10-year lows as the increased use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has boosted U.S. production. Fields that also produce crude and natural gas liquids, including propane, are more valuable since those fuels are tied to oil prices, which rose 8.2% in New York last year.
Yet natural gas popped on news that Chesapeake Energy Corp is cutting back on dry production. The AP reports that Chesapeake Energy Corp, "Faced with decade-low natural gas prices that have made some drilling operations unprofitable, Chesapeake Energy Corp. says it will drastically cut drilling and production of the fuel in the U.S. Chesapeake, the second largest U.S. natural gas producer, said Monday that it plans to cut its current daily production by 8 percent. Over a year that means the company would produce the same or slightly less natural gas in 2012 than it did in 2011. Chesapeake produces about 9 percent of the nation's natural gas. That's a change from the dramatic increase in domestic output seen in recent years. Chesapeake and other drillers have learned to tap enormous reserves of natural gas trapped in shale formations under several states using a controversial drilling method known as hydraulic fracturing combined with horizontal drilling. The drillers force millions of gallons of water and sand, laced with chemicals, into compact rock to create cracks that serve as escape routes for the gas."
Extreme weather for two winters and two summers kept natural gas prices high by boosting demand for home heating and power generation. But this season's mild winter weather, especially in the Northeast and Upper Midwest, has crimped demand and led to a glut. Natural gas futures slipped to $2.32 per 1,000 cubic feet last week, their lowest levels since 2002, before rising slightly to $2.34 on Friday. Prices have fallen 23% since the beginning of the year. Storage levels of the fuel are 21% higher than their five-year average for this time of year, according to the Energy Information Administration.

By Chris Coyle
It has come to my attention that there is nothing you can't make with a thrift store, some duct tape, and a go-get-'em 'tude. This month I was challenged by a friend to come up with a one-piece shred outfit for under ten bucks. He obviously didn't know who the hell he was dealing with.
What you'll need:
One sleeping bag (preferably with vinyl outer shell)
One roll of duct tape
A pair of scissors
Cut a hole for your head.
Two for the arms.
Now it gets tricky. Spread your legs and cut straight up the middle, leaving an even amount of fabric on either side.
Wrap the excess material around each leg, taking the overlapping stuff off.
Duct tape the hell out of the legs.
Now wrap the remaining material around your arms-more duct tape.
Grab your shred stick, and head for the hills.

Smoke DZA ft. Cory Gunz & Big Sant - Crazy Glue
Wait, can this really be? Could one of the games most prolific smokers be trading in his joints for some Crazy Glue? Whether the title of Smoke DZA's new record is a reference to a strain of weed I'm not familiar with, or actual crazy glue (as the St. Elmo's Fire reference in the hook might suggest), the result's the same: sky high music. DZA's Cinematic Family member Big K.R.I.T. handles the beat, sprinkling sparkling notes over some rolling drums and setting the scene for some higher than a G4 rhymes from Señor DZA, young lyrical gunner Cory Gunz and newcomer (to our pages at least) Big Sant. We here at the Booth can't officially endorse the consumption of marijuana, and lord knows glue sniffing in a terrible idea, but if you were to hypothetically listen to this record while under the influence…let's just say we have a feeling you'd enjoy it. Can't get enough of DZA's chronically dope music? Go cop the deluxe edition of the DJBooth-hosted George Kush Da Button mixtape, available for purchase on November 9, via iHipHop.com.

Punt: Look out for high rates if Big Stone II fails
Energy consumers in Detroit Lakes and across north central Minnesota should prepare to pay higher rates, regardless of whether the Big Stone II power plant is eventually built.
But energy costs will be a lot higher in a few years -- to the point where industry will start fleeing the state -- if opponents successfully kill coal power in Minnesota, according to Detroit Lakes Utilities Superintendent Curt Punt.
"We won't see the brunt of this until the 2015-2020 period,' he said. "Then it will really hit hard."
Punt attended two days of hearings held by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission last week, and left feeling very glum about the future of reliable energy in the state.
The State Utilities Commission voted 3-2 Thursday to further study the proposed power lines and the controversial South Dakota coal plant that would generate the electricity.
Instead, they are seeking expert opinion on the proposed lines and related Big Stone II coal-fired power plant.
Commissioners only are considering whether to grant a request by five utilities led by Fergus Falls-based Otter Tail Power Company to build transmission lines from the proposed plant in eastern South Dakota to Morris and Granite Falls in western Minnesota.
Detroit Lakes plans to get electricity from Big Stone II through Missouri River Energy.
Municipal utilities need reliable baseline power on the grid, and that can only come from coal, natural gas or nuclear power plants, Punt said.
Wind power is a great supplement, he said, but can't provide reliable baseline power because the wind doesn't always blow.
Environmentalists who oppose Big Stone II say it will produce enough carbon dioxide to equal 500,000 new cars on the road.
"We've been working for years to show the costs of coal," said Clean Water Action's lead organizer opposing the new coal plant, MaryJo Stueve. "This is dirty power that causes mercury contamination in our fish, asthma in our kids and diverts us from the Midwest's real strength -- clean, renewable energy sources like wind. If we let them build Big Stone II it would be like adding a half million more cars in terms of global warming pollution. That's clearly going in the wrong direction,"
Opponents either don't understand or don't care that wind and other alternative energy sources can't provide the reliable baseline energy that utilities need to "keep the lights on 24-7," Punt said.
Nuclear power is expensive, and likely to meet opposition of its own.
If coal plants can no longer be built, that leaves natural gas power plants, and the cost of natural gas has already doubled the past few years, Punt said.
If more power plants eat up the supply, homeowners who rely on natural gas will be priced out of the market, he added. "You take coal out of the mix and gas will go sky-high," he said.
Punt is frustrated because he believes the three of five State Utility Commission members who voted to delay Big Stone II don't understand the electrical power system as well as they should.
"All the three of them could talk about was the Big Stone II project and how it shouldn't be built -- we are going to show our arrogant control over neighboring states."
South Dakota has approved the project, and the Minnesota Utilities Commission is technically only supposed to decide if the transmission lines should be upgraded from South Dakota into Minnesota. The evidence clearly shows they should -- in no small part because wind power projects from South Dakota on down the line could tie into the upgraded transmission lines, Punt said.
"I'm really afraid Minnesota is going to go through really tough times," Punt said. "The right way to do it through the transition years is to still burn some coal ... if we want to compete with China and India, we need baseline power or we won't be able to compete anymore."
With much higher energy costs in Minnesota, industry is going to start leaving the state for less expensive states, Punt said.
"The thing we had going for us was great labor and low energy costs," he said. "Minnesota will see an out-migration of industry like California to states that have more sensible policies."

Sir Martin Sorrell's WPP has reported a strong first quarter, with organic revenue up 6.7% year on year to £2.2bn, beating main rivals Publicis Groupe and Omnicom for the first time since 2006.
Sorrell, who is currently "kicking the tyres" of potential acquisitions on a trip to Brazil but intends to make time for the royal wedding on Friday – "I didn't get my invite but I will be tuning in to it like 2 billion others" – was confident on the outlook for the year, raising his guidance for full-year revenue growth to 6%.
Sorrell attributed the bullish start and lead over rivals to WPP's growing strength in the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), as well as the "Next 11" countries such as Vietnam, Mexico and Indonesia.
"This has been a very strong start and from a margin and profitability perspective we are well ahead of budget last year," he said. "The difference [between WPP and rivals] is that we have come through stronger in the BRICS and the Next 11.
Sorrell forecasts that China will exceed $1bn in revenue this year, Brazil is likely to reach $650m, India $450m and Russia $200m.
"None of our competitors are anywhere near that," he said. Markets outside North America and western Europe account for 27.5% of WPP's total revenues.
WPP said that Asia Pacific revenues grew by 12.5% on a constant currency basis – or 13.8% if the disaster-struck Japanese market is excluded – with mainland China and India up 18.4%. In the equivalent quarter last year, revenue growth was 12.5%.
The company added that it has been "surprised at the speed of the recovery in the more mature markets of the US and Germany and more traditional media, like free-to-air television".
The US saw revenues grow 9.1% on a constant currency basis in the first quarter – the second highest quarterly growth rate since the second quarter of 2007.
The UK, which accounts for about 12% of total revenues, grew by 7.7% on a constant currency basis in the first quarter. US rival Omnicom managed 9% organic revenue growth, while France's Publicis Groupe managed just 2.4%.
WPP's net debt at 31 March was £2.6bn, a decrease of £511m compared with a year ago.
The company stressed that its self-imposed £100m-a-year acquisition limit – introduced following the takeover of research firm TNS in October 2008 to get the ratio of net debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation below two – has expired. "This objective has, therefore, been achieved, and the self-imposed limits are no longer relevant," it said.
WPP said that, despite concerns about the global economy, it is "cautiously optimistic about the prospects for 2011 and, indeed, for 2012".
"The difficult year may well be 2013, when newly elected or re-elected governments have to wrestle with the impact of fiscal and monetary stimuli and the failure to deal quickly enough with fiscal debts," said WPP.

We mourn the passing of animal rights champion Casey Kasem.
Many of Kasem's fans are aware of the radio host's dedicated work for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Israeli-Palestinian peace, and nuclear disarmament. But Kasem was also a champion for the voiceless — the animals. For many years, he served as national chairman of the Great American Meatout, seeking to abate this country's animal holocaust. He addressed a number of our functions in Los Angeles. In 2005, he received the Celebrity Animal Advocate Award at the annual National Animal Rights Conference.
Kasem was a rare gift to humanity. We, the animals, and other progressive causes will miss him.

As seniors we usually have more time to get to places and thus can observe many things while we travel. One of those is the misuse of carpool lanes, and on a recent trip on Highway 4, and I saw drivers being ticketed for such.
I just don't care much for people who abuse the law and get away with it. Nowadays, with the dark tinted windows on so many cars, a lot of these drivers are using the carpool lane during rush hours. On a recent trip to Martinez, from the Railroad on-ramp to just before the end of the carpool lane, I counted 23 cars with only one person in them!
When driving in the fast lane, you can take a quick look at the approaching car in your driver's side mirror. With the sun behind them, it's very easy to see how many occupants there are in that car. Now, granted, there could have been someone lying down sleeping on the back seat in all of those cars, but I doubt it. The Highway Patrol could make enough money to hire more officers in no time by giving tickets to those offenders.
I would love to see 10 or so of those cars pulled over by two motorcycle officers and made to wait in line until they got their tickets. A patrol car with all its lights blinking behind the caravaned stop would alert others approaching to move over. What a joy that would be to observe some day.
Another thorn in my side is the amount of jerks who insist on being on their cellphones while driving. They know it's against the law and keep an eye on their rearview mirrors looking for an officer who might be coming up behind them so they can quickly put the phone down. It's too bad we can't take photos of them to turn into the different police departments.
What about the drivers who believe they can use the handicapped parking spots because they'll only be parked there for a short time? Then there are the other ones who have the parking placard, but it's not for them, and they use it anyway. I watched a man and his daughter pull into a handicapped parking spot and jog into the store. I finally found a spot large enough for me to park and entered the store to find him. I'm in my walker and can't move as fast as he does, but I did corner him finally. I looked straight into his eyes and asked, "What is your handicap anyway, I guess it must be mental?"
He just dropped his eyes and quickly left the store with his purchases. I have never seen a senior do any of the above offenses.
A week or so before last Thanksgiving, my roommate got deployed to New Jersey, as she is a member of the disaster team, to assist with her computer knowledge in that type of emergency. The huge government-issued duffle bag she carries got stuck in my trunk at the airport. In her efforts to untangle it, something got broken and my trunk lid would no longer stay up by itself.
No one could fix it and I finally had to ask a professional for assistance. He recommended a Pittsburg body shop, which I had driven by before. Much to my surprise, they not only fixed the problem, but didn't charge me anything for their labor. Now that's my kind of body shop.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Spain emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Lozada family. Originally, the Spanish people were known only by a single name. The process by which hereditary surnames were adopted in Spain is extremely interesting. Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. Often they adopted names that were derived from nicknames. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The name Lozada is a nickname type of surname for a person who was in good health and who had an exuberant personality. The name Lozada is derived Spanish word "lozano," which means "exuberant" or "vibrant."

Was going to do an SP today but to be honest i CBA, feeling too good to be depressed despite some local chav's hanging out of their car taking the piss out of my size, normally that would piss me off but these days i know i am getting fitter and thinner so i don't let it both me and just laugh inside.
Speaking of weight, today was the weigh in day for the fat club, i was disappointed as i only lost 2 lb, BUT i lost 1.5" off my waist and 0.5" off my chest as well, not to mention my legs are much stronger than a month ago hence the lack of weight loss (more muscle) and i feel and look better.
Today's picture? just trying some new angles for my camera mount idea, hanging off at 20mph is not one of my better ideas, but i know my little P&S might not be wide enough angle.

Internet Arenas - An Overview
Today's online interactivity has reached phenomenal proportions worldwide. Boundaries between countries as well as age groups have diminished. Social networks once considered only youth oriented have now become arenas for all ages and professions.
As internet arenas develop and become more and more complex, so do the debates for and against their use. While some analysts believe that those who use internet arenas have become more socially aware and are more likely to participate in good causes and support groups (CNN), other critics say that internet arenas have weakened our concept of reality and participation in the physical world. Whichever side you take, there is no denying that new internet arenas will continue to develop as innovative designers find exciting realms to conquer in cyberspace.
Internet Forums
Internet Forums are also referred to as news groups, conferences, message boards or discussion boards. These are online discussion groups where participants post and reply to messages based on a specific topic.
Example: Trip Advisor - Travel Board Forum (Right-click to open in new window?
Blogs are usually written and kept up by one person or entire community of writers with regular entries, comments, or descriptions. Blog communities are known as blogospheres. They may also function as online diaries and are more personal than Forums.
Blogs continued

Internet Arenas Affect All Walks of Life
Most internet arenas require registration and either web services or software packages. And although registration requirements are set down to help protect individuals, the promoters/producers have a long way to go. Internet arenas will continue to affect all areas of our lives in the future.
In order to provide safety for vulnerable users, new rules of net etiquette and guidelines will constantly need updating. Politicians and governments will have to step up the pace in search of new ways to combat copyright and privacy infringement while at the same time making anonymity more difficult.
Yet another aspect of the widespread use of internet arenas is the effect these arenas have on uprisings and rioting. In the Arab world we have seen internet arenas used in the fight for individual freedom. In European cities we have seen the same arenas being used to plan and carry out looting and rioting.

Rendered color of a bad moon rising, British Land Rover tuner Overfinch's new sketch of its upcoming Range Rover Sport looks (and sounds) pretty evil. Overfinch currently offers a tune-job for the BMW-engined Range Rover that matches the Sport's 5.9 0-60 time, but the Jag-based mill in the Sport offers better fuel economy and a six-speed automatic transmission that the BMW-designed powertrains don't get. We'd like to see the tuned Sport put up against a Cayenne Turbo, just for fun. Turning lumbering beasts like these into powerful speed machines is somewhat akin building a '60s-era stock car. It's kinda wrong how fast these things are.

West Music buys Dubuque-based Kephart Music Center
Kephart-West association dates back 60 years to the fall of 1953
Coralville-based West Music Co. has acquired Kephart's Music Center, with stores in Decorah and Dubuque.
The Kephart-West Music Decorah store at 126 E. Water St. will be co-managed by Jim and Ann Kephart. Hours will be 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 pm. on Saturday.
A new store in Dubuque at 2255 John F Kennedy Rd. will be managed by Wendy Kephart. Hours will be 10 a.m to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
The Kephart-West association dates back 60 years to the fall of 1953 when Russ Kephart met and studied under Pearl West, co-founder of West Music, through an instrument repair program. Through the years, the Kephart and West families became friends and often enjoyed each other's company at music conventions, school music programs, and Iowa Hawkeye football games.
"True, we�ve been friendly competitors over the years, but we�ve always had great respect for each other and share the same business philosophy," said Lynne Kephart, Russ Kephart's wife. "We believe that our primary goal to serve our customers in strong support of music education can be better achieved with the combined resources of both companies."West Music, founded in 1941, specializes in pianos, guitars, drums and percussion, band and orchestra instruments, and print music as well as offers music instruction, repair and music therapy services. With the addition of the Kephart locations, West Music has eight retail stores in Iowa and western Illinois.

TTC at 41 with older DH aged 54 ... tinged with guilt - ANYONE else in the same position??(13 Posts)
definitely true about private schools I reckon. Not that there wont be any at state schools of course, just that I think most (not all of course) younger parents will be at state schools. So it probably doesnt look as obvious that older parents are around.
All children think their parents only watched black and white tv in their caves anyway.
You'll be fine!
Dothestrand thank you for the lecture.... I needed it! LOL! I honestly thought that we would be be the 'only ones' at our respective ages! flatmum it's so nice of you to share the reality of life too ... thanks so much girls.
Not being a mum, I don't go near playgrounds very often! My experience is collecting my friends daughter (very rarely) from a private school where parents seem older than state school children!?!?! just my local observation but that's probably wrong....... I am obsessed! School are another minefield! but one I hope to have to cross soon! I am looking everywhere and cannot see any new parent as (young, fit and lovely) as my DH aged 54! LOL! You have made me feel an awful lot better... I mean this, so thank you.
DH has just sent me a lovely long text (he has a stressful demanding role however finds the time to text me and believe me that's not always easy for him) ... it said, Don't worry about THE issue, I don't have to work too much over the weekend, (that's unusual) therefore we'll have plenty of time to discuss it all together......! awwww, he know's I am fretting!! (although I try to hide it from him.... he has enough to deal with during the week!) but it makes such a difference.
I am concerned that he'll struggle when he's 65/70 with a 10-15 year old however he says he'll be fine! He is very fit! and lovely! We've been together for 8 years now....for me, thats a miracle! never thought i would find the one!!
I read Julie Bradburys article (country file presenter) she has a new baby and DP aged 54 and would like a second child! We are in the countryside and down ere........ they do things differently! lol! change is rare!! we will shock the village! lol!
Anyway.... ramble over!
Thank you for reassuring me and its lovely to talk with girls in the same position...... makes an enormous difference!
Would love to hear from anyone else with an older hubby .... xxx
chummy we are in Surrey and at my dc school there are lots of older dads. my y3 child (8 year olds) have 3 dads i can think of who are nearing 60, 2 second marriages and one IVF. in my other childs Reception class (5 year olds) there are also older parents and one IVF couple who are both late fifties. no one bats an eyelid and you wouldnt stand out round here. in my third child's nursery class (2 year olds) there are 2 dads who are in their sixties. it is increasingly common i think.
there are practicalties of course but you will have the experience and funds, presumably, to address a lot of them.
Trust me OP there are more of us out there than you think
I am 41 and DH is early 50s. We have DCs 3.5 and 1 and are going to try for another. DH also has two older DC, late teens.
Bullying for having older parents has never entered my head, children get bullied for all sorts of reasons - you can deal with that if / when it happens. Also children are always going to find their parents embarrassing, it's the law! (My friend had her DC in her teens. I vividly remember us thinking we would be cool mum and her cool friend. Her DC of course thought we were old and embarrassing. We were in our late twenties by then).
I an always positive about the many benefits but I also went into this with my eyes open (conception / pregnancy / parenting). I have had 2 mcs and i know that the last was because of my age. We have old and frail parents which means no practical support for us as parents, and we are looking after their needs while caring for small children. I am sad that my late father never got to meet my DC2, they would have adored each other (I am a child of older parents myself). But these issues would not have stopped us starting our family and are not stopping us trying for no 3 (or number 5 in DH's case!)
ultimately you won't be 'older mum and dad' to your DC but just 'mum and dad'.
Families come in all shapes and sizes nowadays and differing from the norm (what norm?) is often hardly commented on.
Good luck with TTC, I really hope you are successful.
Phew, lecture over!!
fatloosie that's so true! hadn't thought about that
Pollykitten you were obviously lucky to have a lovely Dad.
Thank you both for replying.......... I cannot help but worry (when I hear so many negative comments about older parents - no one knows that we have been ttc ) ...
There is someone else out there thank you for replying thereinmadnesslies
I am amazed (and delighted) that at 56 your DH is not the oldest at the school gates! This gives me such hope.
We are originally from London, where parents seem older. We have moved to the country where parents all seem so young!!!!!! You are quite correct, We have considered the potential issues and of course, the positives. I don't know anyone else with a partner of DH's age with young children and this has left me feeling strangely isolated. Normally very self assured but suddenly not so!
May I ask how your friends/colleagues reacted to you conceiving when DH was 52/53? Many of my friends/colleagues openly discuss how selfish it is to have a child when you are 'past a certain age' .... inwardly i am crying but keep my thoughts and plans to myself!!
my dad had me when he was 52 and he was the best dad ever! wouldn't have changed him for the world. worry about something else if you have to! good luck x
Try not to worry. You aren't being selfish. Your baby cannot be born in any other circumstances (unless you're going to create an embryo and donate it to a younger couple!). Feeling embarrassed about your parents is small beer next to not being born at all!
DH is 56 and we have DC aged 3 and 6.
I'm a fair bit younger than DH but ironically the DC think I'm the oldest. I don't think DH is the oldest dad at the school gates. There are times when he is tired from the DC but no other issues.
I do not think you are selfish - you are thinking through the potential issues. I see positives in the future - DH will be retired when the DC reach their teens so he will be hands on for school holidays and general running around after them.
thank you for replying flatmum
Are we not being selfish ....? DH is 54 - 55 this year.......... ??
just so concerned about our child feeling 'different' to all the other children with daddy's in their 30's & 40's!!! If we are successful, my DH will be 65 when the little one is 10. I cannot stop worrying for him/her..... DH says our love will compensate but is also realistic that our little one may be picked on for having an 'old dad' ............. worrying worrying worrying. Have just sent of forms to ARGC ...and having a minor panic now!!!!
Don't feel guilty! I am the same age as you and my youngest is 2. What's the difference? And my parents had me in their early twenties and my father died when I was 20 (my youngest sibling was 12). There are no guarantees in life. A happy home and childhood is one of the most important things to prepare you for life tho I think and sounds like you are fantastically placed for that. Good luck!!
Hello everyone,
We are trying (very hard!) to conceive our first child.
Terribly mixed feelings - desperate to have our own little baby mixed with the guilt of bringing a little baby into the world at my age (41 ) but more so DH 54.
Both young in mind, fit and slim with no health issues and financially stable. We both long to provide a happy, safe and secure home for a little one but both feel guilty wanting this longed for baby as DH is 54.
Ridiculously, the country file presenter (julie xxx??) gave an interview recently where she discussed her joy at being pregnant at 41 and shared her wish for a second child now (age 42 I think) with her DP aged 54 .... and this gave my guilt a temporary reprieve!
Is anyone else in a similar position??? would love to hear from you
Emotionally wobbling tonight

Milky Way eats stellar snack
OMEGA Centauri, the largest and most massive cluster of stars in the Galaxy,
may be the victim of cosmic cannibalism. Computer simulations by astronomers in
Italy suggest it was once a dwarf galaxy, but was gobbled up by the Milky
Giovanni Carraro of the Astronomical Observatory of Padua and Cesario Lia of
the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste simulated the evolution
of a massive gas cloud into millions of stars through successive periods of star
formation. When the resulting dwarf galaxy is captured by a nearby galaxy like
the Milky Way, the results look strikingly similar to Omega Centauri.
Last year, Korean astronomers led by Young-Wook Lee showed that Omega
Centauri contains groups of stars that formed at different times, suggesting
that the cluster was once part of a more massive system that merged with the
Milky Way (Nature, vol 402, p 55). The computer simulations by

Groundwater : characteristics, qualities, pollutions and treatments : an overview
Otieno, Fredrick Alfred O.
Olumuyiwa, I. Ojo
Ochieng, George M.
MetadataShow full item record
This review considered groundwater resources, its characteristics, qualities, pollutions and available treatments. Groundwater refers to all the water occupying the voids, pores and fissures within geological formations, which originated from atmospheric precipitation either directly by rainfall infiltration or indirectly from rivers, lakes or canals. The chemical, physical and bacterial characteristics of groundwater determine its usefulness for various purposes. The ground water analysis reviewed includes pH, chlorine content, total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, dissolved oxygen and hardness others include alkalinity, chloride, toxic chemicals and the presence of coli form organisms. The treatments considered are; aeration, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation and filtration. Appropriate technology methods such as container storage, pot chlorination, boiling and solar disinfection were discovered to be in use. The paper concluded by recommending research into quantifying groundwater, its quality and treatment based on the above overview.

This weekend I've had the first cold of this season and I've felt pretty ill. (Why is it that when the children pass on their cold to you that you always get more ill than they did?) I found, as is quite common that I had no sense of taste. I found that although I got hungry and fancied certain foods that I just didn't feel satisfied when I had eaten them because they didn't taste right and so I carried on eating, looking for something else to satisfy the taste craving. This isn't the first time I've noticed this happening when I have a cold but it is not very often nowadays that I eat until I feel overfull and that I don't feel satisfied once I've eaten, so it was strange for me.
The system I use with my clients focuses very much on eating the foods that you want, when you want it and depriving yourself of nothing. To most people it sounds like a recipe for disaster to just keep on eating everything, but it actually works when you combine it with addressing the real issues that keep you overweight and with hypnotherapy.
The reasons most people overeat is very much like the reasons I was overeating this weekend – because the food is not satisfying the craving. Most overeating stems from not addressing what you really want or crave and then not feeling satisfied. When this happens you keep on eating more and more, trying to satisfy that craving.
This can be for 2 reasons; the first is that you know what you want to eat but you think you shouldn't, usually because of an idea that the food you want is 'bad' or 'unhealthy' and so you actually eat something else that you think you ought to. Because it wasn't what you really wanted and the thing you ate doesn't satisfy the craving or need, you keep on eating, more and more, until eventually you eat the thing you wanted in the first place and then you feel sick and probably guilty. How many extra calories did you consume trying to put off eating the thing you wanted all along? That's not going to help with your weight loss!
The second reason may be that you didn't want food at all and that your hunger is not physical but emotional. In which case, it doesn't matter how much you eat, you will never feel satisfied because you have not addressed the emotional need underneath and you will simply feel worse because you have overeaten, compounding the problem.
Using hypnotherapy to address weight loss you can learn to identify what you really want to eat and adjust the kinds of foods you enjoy. You can also find the real reasons you overeat and address those issues too in a safe and non-judgmental space.
