The Elephants of Mysore Dasara
The Dasara Festival celebrated in the city of Mysore is of legendary magnificence and splendor. It is a celebration that has continued from the grandeur of the days of the Wodeyar kings. These days, in the democratic India, there are no kings (only king's relatives), but the show goes on. The elephants are an integral part of the celebration, and here is a brief introduction to the elephants of Mysore Dasara.

The participation of elephants is central to the Dasara festivities at Mysore. The stories of Dasara elephants itself is a matter of great fascination for the local population. The participant elephants over the years, and especially the maitre-d-procession (or the lead elephant, last ones named Biligiriranga, Rajendra, Drona, and Balarama) have become part of history and folk legends.
Most of these Dasara-elephants were caught by the elephant trainers via the Khedda operation (see: Khedda System). During the Wodeyar rule, the elephants thus caught were inspected in an open field for strength, personality, and character. The walking styles, weaknesses to seduction, the facial charisma were some of the factors considered for selection. Then the chosen elephants were trained for the festival. It is said that the king himself would overlook the training.
Elephant Biligiriranga
Biligiriranga was majestic beast, about ten feet in height. The king Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar was very fond of this bull and would personally mingle with the elephant during Dasara. After the festivities, Biligiriranga would return to the forest and live there till the next Dasara. According to the forest officials, he was a virile bull and was responsible for increase in the elephant population in the area. There is no doubt that Biligiriranga increased the glory of the festival in Mysore. It is said that he was loyal and obedient to his trainer (mahut) till his death.
Elephant Rajendra
Rajendra was caught in the year 1971, and was the last to serve the Wodeyar dynasty. Soon after Indira Gandhi annulled all royalty in India, instead of the king, an idol of Goddess Chamundi was paraded during the procession, so Rajendra also had to adjust to the changing times moving from royal patronage to that of a public government.
Rajendra was a soft bull. He was easily influenced by presence of cow elephants. His trainers felt that Rajendra never found true love and sought for a soul-mate till his demise.
Elephant Drona
Drona was named after Dronacharya, the great guru of Mahabharata. In the epic, Dronacharya is a priest, but he was so mature and intelligent that he taught warfare for a livelihood! The elephant Drona was named so because of his amazing ability to learn and correct himself. When the ambari (the golden platform carrying the idol, a.k.a. howdah) shifted left or right during the procession, Drona could move his muscles selectively and stabilize the weight! His trainers were very surprised because they had not trained Drona in this skill. Drona also practiced energy conservation techniques (he would walk slow early in the procession to conserve energy), and rigid eating habits (he was very particular about his diet, and always ate in solitude). Drona led a durable family life with his two wives Kokila and Shanti.
One day Drona went grazing in a village of Balle and pulled down a trunk of a tree to eat the leaves. The falling trunk also brought down a high-tension power cable and instantly electrocuted the celebrated bull. Drona was mourned in the state just like any other celebrity.
Elephant Arjuna
It is a common practice to groom a descendant to the lead elephant even when the lead elephant is alive. Arjuna was the elephant thus trained to succeed Drona. One day Arjuna went to bathe in a river with his buddy Bahadur and Bahadur's trainer Annayya. While crossing a road, the elephants were startled by a vehicle and in the chaos that ensued, the rider Annayya fell down to the ground, only to be stamped on the his head by Arjuna. He was crushed to death. People opined that an elephant that had killed a man was unfit to carry the religious duties of Dasara. So Arjuna, while being as capable as Drona, never got to be the bearer of the prestige. These days he helps the forest officials trace poachers in the Bandipur National forest. The tragedy has has no apparent impact on him, but the people are not accepting him.
Elephant Balarama
After the Arjuna was voted out of Dasara lineup, Balarama, a bull of about forty years of age, who was captured in a forest near Somavarpet has been tapped for the festival. While he lacks the charisma of Drona and Arjuna, it is said that he is a dependable elephant. He is said to be an introvert, and had to be provided special training so he can withstand the firing of canons that occurs during the festival.

Other Elephants
Altogether thirteen elephants participated in the festival. Each one of them has to go through a rigid conditioning. At least two of them have to be female. The chief elephant is followed by a row of five elephants. There is one elephant dedicated to pull the chariot containing Karnataka police band. There are a lot of stories about the companion elephants as well. Some anecdotes:

Bearded Dragon - Spiny, Fun Pet Dragon
Bearded dragons are reptiles native to the rocky and arid regions of Australia. You can identify a bearded dragon easily by the little ridges that outline their sides, they also have large triangular heads and flat bodies. Bearded dragons are omnivorous. They will eat what ever meal they can catch, whether it is an insect or plant. They have become more and more common as a pets because they are usually calm and friendly with people and do well in captivity.
One of their activities that is fun to watch is head-bobbing. They do this when they listen to Bob Marley, just kidding, it is usually when males want to show other males that they are the tougher lizard. Sometimes they can also changes colors and wave their claws at each other. They can grow to be 24 in (61 cm).

Colbert Nation visits Vancouver, B.C.
Posted by Tiffany Campbell
I visited the Colbert Nation today, otherwise known as an public taping of Stephen Colbert's The Colbert Report in Vancouver's Creekside Park, next to Telus World of Science, which has been converted to Sochi World (the Russian house) for the 2010 Games.
Even though I arrived more than an hour early, the crowd was already clogging the park.
I moved around back with fans lining up along the makeshift, fenced corridor that the guests and Colbert himself would need to move through. Caught this picture of guest Michael Bublé:
If you haven't heard, Stephen Colbert is an official sponsor of the U.S. Speedskating team, replacing a $300,000 sponsorship deal it lost when DSB bank, the previous prime sponsor for U.S. Speedskating, pulled out. Via huffingtonpost.com:
"On their enormous, billboard thighs, it will say, 'Colbert Nation,'" Colbert said in an interview before Monday evening's taping. "Be looking for that logo as it comes around the final turn. It will be easy to see because it will be in first place."
If you missed today, The Colbert Report is taping in the same location tomorrow morning.
More pictures, video after the jump ....
All the pictures and tweets from this morning can be found here
Here's the Vancouver Sun's take on this morning and more background here and here.
A few nights ago, I spotted this Stephen Colbert poster in downtown Vancouver:
Colbert is asking people to post it all over Vancouver.
Finally, a video clip of Colbert taking on speedskater Shani Davis:

text: Ok first of all, if you hate multiboxers or are here to whine about how they ruin the game, please stop now. Blizzard has declared it legal and I'm not going to respond to any whiners. Now that that is out of the way, any other multiboxers here? I've been 5-boxing for something like 4 months now, currently running a 1 DK 4 Shaman team and owning Heroics. Pre-WoTLK I mostly PvPed with a 5 shaman team but I really just don't like PvP much in WoTLK. Edit: Took a picture of my team as of today after my last CoS timed run: Edit: And another picture after a recent Heroic UP run: I do have a video I made of myself soloing (well, 5-boxing) the Heroic Gun'Drak boss fights with my team: Click here to download the video in WMV format [y]0bHEwQqYALw[/y] I will be making more videos of boxing instances soon. Now that I'm overgeared, I can do a lot of boss fights without having to heal my tank - this is where having 4 elemental shamans is a huge bonus (see DPS screenshot below against Trollgore - note my tank ended the fight at full health without being healed aside from healing stream totems LOL): I play on the Burning Legion US PvP server and run a guild "Multiplicity" that is strictly for multiboxers if anyone wants company. For more multiboxing information the best resource is http://www.dual-boxing.com I'm sure people will ask how much it costs or why I spend so much on WoW, etc, and the answer is I don't. I started multiboxing with a computer I already had - Dual Core X2 2.2GHz, 3GB memory, 8600GT video card. Since then I've upgraded to a Phenom X4 2.5GHz OC to 2.8GHz, 6GB memory, and a 9800GT. I use a single PC to multibox using the "Keyclone" software http://www.solidice.com/keyclone - Yes I pay for 5 WoW accounts, no its not that much money (less than half what I pay for cable/internet). So, any other multiboxers here? Always interested in discussing strategies, etc. Also, I will be around for a bit so if anyone has any questions about my team, strategies, or any other questions feel free to ask and I will answer them.

If Cannabis Keeps You At Peace While Alcohol Fuels Aggression, Why Is It Illegal?
By: Justin Gardner / (The Free Thought Project) If anyone needs a reminder on the absurdity of the U.S. approach to drugs, consider the fact that cannabis is classified as a Schedule 1 drug with ?no currently accepted medical use? and a ?high potential for abuse,? while alcohol is not even included in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
Of course, alcohol is a drug, as any psychologist will tell you, with a high potential for abuse; and it?s not used as a treatment for medical conditions. Moderate alcohol use may have some health benefits, but heavy use can bring a host of negative health impacts.
Still, alcohol is left to the states to regulate, untouched by the fateful 1970 CSA that began Nixon?s War on Drugs and spawned the DEA. As we have reported, this war against freedom was targeted at blacks and ?hippies? who drove the counter-culture force demanding an end to militarism.
That 60s mindset of peace and love was a threat to the establishment, as the movement was growing for a principle of non-aggression, in contrast to the rise of U.S. hegemony underscored by the Vietnam War tragedy.
Psychedelics and cannabis were integral to this understanding of non-aggression, and they were targeted for elimination?while alcohol was ignored.
This was the perfect setup, and science shows us why.
In a new study that appeared in Psychopharmacology, researchers investigated ?the acute effects of alcohol and cannabis on subjective aggression in alcohol and cannabis users.?
The results confirmed what has long been suspected?alcohol facilitates aggressive feelings in heavy alcohol users, while aggressive feelings are diminished in regular cannabis users.
After abstaining from alcohol and cannabis for one week, subjects ?received single doses of alcohol and placebo or cannabis and placebo, respectively.?
Subjective aggression was measured before and after exposure using established testing methods and, secondarily, by looking at testosterone and cortisol levels.
?Subjective aggression significantly increased following aggression exposure in all groups while being sober. Alcohol intoxication increased subjective aggression whereas cannabis decreased the subjective aggression following aggression exposure. Aggressive responses during the PSAP increased following alcohol and decreased following cannabis relative to placebo.?
Interestingly, the ?cannabis group? also used psychedelic mushrooms much more frequently in their ?lifetime use of other drugs? than did the ?alcohol group.? We have reported on the amazing ways in which magic mushrooms can benefit the consciousness.
The study is a grim reminder that the war on drugs is rife with negative consequences, as in this case where it arguably stifled the tendency for non-aggression in society as militarism became embedded in the American psyche.

Congressional Retirement Benefits Much More Generous than Private Sector
May 18, 2011
In a blog post, Andrew Biggs, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, looks at retirement benefits earned by members of Congress in a particular year, then compares that to what private-sector workers at large firms tend to receive.
- According to the Office of Personnel Management, the "normal cost" for congressional pensions -- that is, the average cost of benefits accruing in a particular year -- is equal to 17.9 percent of wages.
- However, those costs are calculated using an assumed interest rate of 6.25 percent, higher than 5.5 percent Treasury yield Biggs assumes based upon Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projections.
- Adjusting for this increases benefit accruals to 22.4 percent of wages.
- On top of this, federal employees receive a government match to their defined- contribution Thrift Savings Plan account of up to 5 percent of pay.
- They are also eligible for retiree health coverage, which is worth around 6 percent of wages.
Added together, the total retirement package provided by the federal government to members of Congress is worth somewhere around 33.4 percent of pay. (In other words, the employee would be more or less indifferent between receiving these benefits or receiving a 33 percent salary increase.)
Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Biggs finds the average private sector worker in establishments of 100 employees or greater receives employer contributions to defined benefit pensions of around 3 percent of pay and contributions to defined contribution pensions of around 3.4 percent of pay -- a package worth around 6.4 percent of pay total.
Biggs calculates that annual retirement contributions for a member of Congress exceed those for private sector employees by a factor of five.

I used Char's tutorial for hemming jeans HERE to shorten these capris. They were getting really stretched out around the knee area and frumpy looking to me. It wasn't helping that my legs were so white, eh?
It was a bit tricky because of the tapering out portion at the bottom of the capris, but they are now my most worn, most comfortable pair of shorts. Legs still = white, but with a bit of color due to some lotion tanner. I love that stuff. I probably should have applied about 10 coats to resemble a tan, but at least they aren't as bad as before!
I've started to run/superfastwalk 3 times a week. My boys ride their bikes while I push B in the stroller. It feels GREAT to be exercising again! Doesn't the woman below look like she's having fun? I do not look like that while running. But I also don't where jeans and a turtleneck while running. (try and find a non-copyrighted 'jogging with stroller' image—it wasn't easy!)
In other news, hubby turned 33 on Sunday. He's the best :).
I have a ton of projects on hold. I've even been feeling like sewing a little more the past couple days (though I haven't had a chance). It's weird how slowing down on this blog made me feel behind in so many other areas of my life. So I'm hoping to start incorporating at least a little sewing in once a week.
Thanks for still stopping by, even when things are slow around here!

The Health Benefits Of Turmeric: The Spice Nutritionists Swear By
The health benefits of turmeric are numerous, and nutritionists are all about it. A bright yellow Indian spice, it's a key ingredient in golden lattes (a trend you're likely to see blow up in 2017), a primary component in curry, and the secret behind the golden color of mustards, cheeses, and butter—it's even part of Kraft mac and cheese's new all-natural food coloring.
Sarah-Jane Bedwell, R.D., L.D.N., tells SELF that it has a slightly bitter and warm flavor that tastes great in sweet and savory dishes alike. But that flavor isn't the only reason to love this trendy spice—she says it can also do amazing things for your body. So if you don't already have it on your spice rack, stock up on it ASAP (you should be able to find it at your local supermarket). Here's everything you need to know about the health benefits of turmeric.
It's been shown to work as a pain reliever.
In a 2014 study published in The Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine, 367 primary knee osteoarthritis patients were randomly assigned to receive either 1,200 mg of ibuprofen a day or 1,600 mg (less than a teaspoon) of curcumin, the active component of turmeric, every day for four weeks. The study found that by the end of the four weeks, curcumin was just as effective as ibuprofen at relieving knee pain in patients, with fewer adverse gastrointestinal effects.
This is likely due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Leah Kaufman, a registered dietitian in the department of surgery, division of bariatric surgery at NYU Langone Medical Center, tells SELF that curcumin has many anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling and inflammation caused by myriad different ailments. For this reason, you might want to consider incorporating more turmeric into your diet if you have arthritis or joint pain. She says that some people will even apply it topically to things like bruises and eczema, as those same anti-inflammatory properties help to soothe and heal those conditions.
Plus, it's great for digestion.
Some evidence has shown that when consumed daily for a month, the curcumin in turmeric can help to reduce digestive issues. Kaufman says that it can help everything from IBS to colitis, and even bloating. (You can thank those anti-inflammatory properties for that.) What's more, these same anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and digestive properties also enable turmeric to support the liver, the body's natural detox system, says Bedwell. Early research has shown it may help to reduce damage to the liver caused by alcohol and other environmental factors.
You'll get more bang for your buck if you pair it with black pepper.
So now that you've been clued into the superpowers of turmeric, here's your final pro tip: To get the most out of its benefits, use it in a recipe that also calls for pepper. Pepper contains a compound called piperine, which promotes the absorption of turmeric into the bloodstream, Lisa Sasson, clinical associate professor of nutrition at NYU Steinhardt, tells SELF. In fact, classically prepared golden lattes actually contain black pepper. Together the two spices create an alluring spicy flavor profile that you're bound to become obsessed with, which is great whether you're trying to reap the anti-inflammatory benefits or not.
Try using it in soups, stews, curries, or anything you think it might taste great in. Or keep an eye out for golden lattes at your local coffee shop. Not sure where to start? Give this earthy turmeric potato recipe from Pinch Of Yum a try. If you're in the mood for something a bit sweeter, test this carrot-ginger turmeric smoothie recipe from Minimalist Baker.

Review for Heritage Body and Frame Pond Springs

A trip with Gran and an unusual take on a classic movie…
Did you wonder what I've done now when you saw the above title?
Surprisingly I managed to reload the "Solemn Curfew" collection without a hitch despite being a bit distracted at the moment. My dearly loved god mother passed away recently and left me her books, all 4000 of them. I defy anyone to behave in a normal and rational fashion when faced with that many books. And these aren't paper backs, they are a life time of careful and considered collecting. They arrive next Thursdays – there maybe demands for walls to be demolished to make room.
However, back to the obscenity of the title. This is another story about my grandmother. Whatever else could be said of her, and there is much which could be said, she was never boring.
To Mother it was an idea of genius, but my ten year old self was filled with consternation. And, glancing…

Preity Zinta married long-time beau Gene Goodenough at a ceremony held by family and close friends in Los Angeles on February 29, 2016. The good news about the marriage was put up on social media in the form of a congratulatory tweet by actor Kabir Khan.
The bubbly actress, in her hey days in Bollywood, was linked up with a string of actors, an allegation that she had firmly denied. She had also rubbished allegations by Suchitra Krishnamurthy who had accused her of having an affair with her husband Shekhar Kapoor. Preity's first serious boyfriend was Marc Robinson; the relationship lasted from 2000 to 2001. However, they continue to remain friends till this day.
Preity began dating the Bombay Dyeing scion, Ness Wadia in 2005. They broke up four years later. In 2014, Preity filed a police complaint citing abuse, molestation and threat to life by her ex-beau Ness during an IPL match on May 31, in the same year. Ness refuted the charges.
Gene Goodenough – the Background
Preity has put the devils of the past behind her and has embraced a peaceful, romantic life with her boyfriend Gene Goodenough. The 41 year old is the Senior Vice-President for Finance at a hydroelectric company in the US, called NLine Energy. It is a renewable energy development company that has conceptualized a process to convert wasted energy present in water transmission and distribution systems into renewable energy source.
The 6 feet 1 inch tall Goodenough who stays in Los Angeles, is a graduate from Marshall School of Business. Before working in N-Line, he was the Assistant Vice-President in Bank of America and Vice-President/Director Product Management at Interthink.
The actress actually met and became friends with Gene, when she has visited the US , few years ago. She would often visit the country to meet her nephew and niece. Gene had been a constant source of unflinching support to the actress and had also helped her tide over her problems with her ex-flame Ness. In fact, Gene had also been witness to the Preity Zinta –Ness Wadia case, when he had filed a police complaint against her boyfriend.
The proceeds from the wedding pictures would be given to the Preity Zinta Foundation, a charitable organization. The couple will be back in India in the month of April for a gala reception for their Bollywood friends.

Necessary Measures taken to ensure water supply to the city until June 1 – Pramod Madhwaraj
Pics By Divakar Hiriyadka
Udupi: MLA of Udupi Pramod Madhwaraj along with city municipal councillors made a spot visit to the Baje dam, Swarna River on Saturday, May 14.
Speaking to mediapersons, the MLA said that the water level has been decreasing owing to high evaporation due to the scorching sun. The water level has reached 2.08 meters at the Baje dam and all necessary measures have been taken to ensure water supply to the city and surrounding seven gram panchayats until June 1. The water from the storage ponds is pumped using three boat engines. Altogether six boats are working on an alternative basis. He added that the water from the storage ponds would be enough for four days.
In the first stage, the water is pumped near Puttige bridge. From there, it will be pumped near the Puttige Math and later to the area between the math and the Baje dam, and finally into the reservoir. The rain showers in the last two days did not increase the water level in the dam. It is only when the catchment area receives heavy rain that the inflow will begin, he added.
Meenakshi Madhava Bannaje president, Sandhya Kumari vice president Udupi CMC, former president Yuvaraj, Congress leader Harish Kini, Chandrika Shetty, Naryana Kundar, Janardhan Bhandarkar and others were present.

Meal plans can be very helpful in recovery. For those of us who have been restricting heavily, we need a meal plan as without one we simply do not know how or when to eat. In the absence of hunger, meal plans can be a huge plus. Eating disorders also make decisions around what to eat and what quantity very difficult so the meal plan can remove a lot of that.
But what happens if extreme hunger hits? Do you stick to the meal plan? Can you go above it? Lots of unanswered questions came up for me here. Here is how it all worked out for me, and how I have witnessed things work out for other adults in eating disorder recovery too.
This is another post that will likely get me on the lynch list for some people. How dare I suggest that the sacred meal plan will sometimes only get us so far. This post is my opinion; please feel free to give me yours in the comments section.
But the truth is that meal plans do not address extreme hunger. And extreme hunger exists. So with both those things in mind …
The meal plan is a minimum
I had to learn that extreme hunger or not, the meal plan should be seen as a minimum intake. I should aim to go over this minimum as much as possible each day. The problem with meal plans, is that they can quickly become a form of restriction in themselves.
For many of us, a meal plan turns into a maximum. If this is true for you, then you have to turn this around in your head pronto. There is no maximum in recovery. You can and should eat all that you want. If you don't want, then you can and should challenge yourself to eat above what was planned.
Here's how a meal plan can be restrictive:
What if the meal plan says have a sandwich but what I really want is a cheeseburger? You can bet my eating disorder will tell me not to deviate from the meal plan, right?
What if my meal plan says that I have quiche a lunch and I decide I want a dollop of mayo with it? Sure, my eating disorder will pitch a fit. My eating disorder will tell me to stick to the meal plan and that because mayo is not on the plan I am being a greedy pig to even consider it.
Well, in that instance, not deviating is restriction. I am not having additional food that my body and mind want.
On the flip side, my eating disorder would tell me that deviating from the meal plan is a fabulous idea if I undercut it. Nope. The rule that the meal plan is a minimum was very helpful for in sorting out the ED deviations from the pro-recovery ones.
Positively challenge your meal plan
(This next point is true with or without extreme hunger)
I'm eating to my meal plan. That's good enough, right?
Your responsibility as an adult in recovery is to be always challenging your eating disorder and this means positively challenging your meal plan too. The meal plan says 2 crumpet — why not see if you can manage 3? The meal plan says a latte? Why not make it a hot chocolate?
I know that challenging is incredibly mind-blowingly anxiety provoking. But if you keep doing it the anxiety around doing so decreases at a more rapid rate than if you doggedly allow your eating disorder to dictate that you are not to eat a pinch of salt more than your meal plan says.
Additionally, this can turn it into more of a fun game where you are winning points over your eating disorder with every choice you make. This is how I learned to look at it. Each meal was a me vs my eating disorder game and all I had to do to score points was to eat more than I had intended or pre-planned to. This could be a dollop of mayonaise, but the more confident I became the more I would find myself making a second sandwich, or going back for another slice of cake. Doing so became rewarding. I could get almost giddy with the adrenaline of doing something that terrified me such as having double the amount of ice cream as I had had the day before. Frankly, it turned into a bit of a power trip — one I was winning.
When you positively challenge your meal plan, you are not just complying to a meal plan because you have been told you have to — you are crushing it!
Extreme Hunger
When I initially started recovery and wrote myself up a meal plan (note: it is a much better idea to get someone else — someone who doesn't have an eating disorder — to write your meal plan for you) it seemed like a never ending mountain of food to plough through. It wasn't, by the way, but it seemed like that compared to the rations that I had been having previously.
Extreme hunger hit me early on, and suddenly when it did, the meal plan didn't even make a dent. I could have eaten the whole day's food before breakfast and still be starving. This was a dilemma for me. I didn't know what extreme hunger was. I didn't know it is common in Anorexia recovery. I had been told by everything that I had read that a meal plan was the way to go. Nobody had ever said anything about what to do if suddenly I wanted to eat the entire contents of my fridge and freezer in one sitting.
Sticking to my meal plan now felt maddeningly painful. I wanted to much more. I felt like I must be the greediest pig in the world. My eating disorder screamed at me that if I allowed myself to eat more than my meal plan I would balloon into obesity by tomorrow morning. My eating disorder yelled that I would never stop eating if I let myself eat freely. My eating disorder told me I would develop Binge Eating Disorder overnight. My eating disorder told me this was what I got when I didn't restrict and that the only way to control this insatiable hunger would be to restrict.
My eating disorder told me too many lies over my lifetime. I was learning (slowly) not to pay attention. I was also curious. What would happen if I ate more?
I ate more. And what happened is that I ate even more than I felt was humanly possible for what seemed like forever. And them slowly the urge to eat reduced. Waned. Normalized.
Extreme hunger meant I had to ditch my meal plan. Well, actually I still ate all the meals and snacks on it, but they were buried underneath all the rest of the additional foods I was eating.
Recovery Binges
Not many people like to talk about these but the majority of us go through them at some stage — we just prefer not to tell anyone about them due to the unnecessary shame. Let's not keep it a secret. These are a normal part of recovery for many of us and if you know that and know it is okay they do not derail you if they happen.
Recovery binges can feel wildly out of control and you eating disorder will do everything to try and make you feel guilty afterwards. No matter how bad your eating disorder tries to make you feel about what you have eaten know this:
Whatever you ate you needed. This is a normal part of recovery for some people. Everything you just ate will help your body recover. This will not happen forever. Only until your body has decided it has enough reserves to repair and recover. Trust your body it knows what it is doing.
Then know this:
Whatever you do you cannot restrict or purge in an attempt to undo some of what you ate.
Your body ate all that food because it needed all that food. If you try and restrict you are not helping it do what it needs to do in order to recover. Trust your body. Do not use this as an excuse or reason to restrict. Now would be the time to revert to your meal plan if your head is totally spinning and you don't know what to do. Just pick up on the meal plan whatever the time of day is and go from there.
I'll be writing more about recovery binges later!
I think is it healthy and wise to see your meal plan is a minimum. There is no maximum. The sooner and more you can let go of restriction the better. Eating disorders live in restriction, so even if your meal plan is relatively high intake-wise, if you want to and could eat more you are restricting if you do not. The urge to eat an incredible amount of food in recovery is normal if that happens to you. If it happens it happens and it is nothing to be afraid of — it can be like a bit of a golden ticket actually. It will not last forever so long as you respond to it without restriction.
And yes. It is scary as shit. But that is okay. You can and will get to the other side.

I am excited to announce that this week we launched Active Eating Disorder Recovery for Adults (AEDRA) Meal Support Service.
This is a worldwide service where any person can receive support at a mealtime to help overcome anxiety. We also have post meal support slots available for people who struggle with purging and post-meal anxiety. Binge Eating Disorder is also supported!

Thank you to the nearly 1,500 people that took part in the Washington, D.C. Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk! Together you raised over $2.4 million to support AFSP's mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. You can read a full recap of the Overnight weekend here.
The Overnight
The Overnight is an experience like no other.

Why We Walk
Every year suicide claims more lives than war, murder, and natural disasters combined, and yet suicide prevention doesn't get anywhere near the funding given to other leading causes of death. It's up to Walkers like us to make a difference. Together we can change the conversation about mental health and put a stop to this tragic loss of life.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
We are the leader in the fight against suicide. We fund research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy, and support survivors of suicide loss. Led by CEO Robert Gebbia and headquartered in New York, AFSP has local chapters in all 50 states and events nationwide.
Thanks to Walkers and Donors like you, AFSP has been able to set a goal to reduce the annual suicide rate 20% by 2025.

About The Film
What was once known as an exclusive practice for affluent white America, plastic surgery has found its way into the ethnic neighborhoods of our country. Knifed Up explores this trend as it expands into the lives of Black Americans as they strive to achieve a manufactured idea of perfection.Read More
Plastic surgery has emerged among white women as a means to achieve a standard of beauty made famous by America's first Barbie Doll in 1959 and echoed throughout Hollywood's most elite. Now, as pop culture remains oversaturated with these manufactured ideas of beauty, even African American women are susceptible to the repercussions of this ill-fated delirium. Knifed Up explores the underlying causes and influences of the sudden growth in popularity among African Americans in recent years.
Stars as celebrated as Nicki Minaj and her infamous booty, to Wendy Williams who proudly boasts of the "work" she's had done, add to this mounting trend. Rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, liposuction, and the latest sensation known as a buttock augmentation are all among the most popular cosmetic procedures. Along with surgery, come health risks and even the prospect of death. Is the reward truly worth the risks and how susceptible are these clients to the addictive behavior found prominent among cosmetic clients?
While African American women are going to these great lengths to obtain what they deem to be the "ideal" body, could they be compromising their overall health and with that, the health and perception of the entire black community? Is our microwave generation too focused on instant gratification to work to naturally achieve their ideal body type? Or could even the ideal body type be so contrived that in reality it is simply unachievable? These questions and more will be answered in this in-depth examination of what happens when African Americans get Knifed Up.

Oriented to Love (OTL) helps Christ followers come together around the topic of sexual diversity in the church. How can Christians love each other across sharp disagreements about what faithful sexuality looks like? How can we listen respectfully in order to truly see and know those we disagree with rather than vilify and dismiss each other?
The goals of OTL are not to: strike theological stances, debate each other about various Scripture passages, or agree with each other.
The goals of OTL are to: help LGBTQ and straight Christians of all stripes come to the same table, regardless of our theological understanding of the issues; listen to each other's stories and in doing so get to know and understand each other; ask hard questions in a safe environment; discover what God is doing in and through LGBTQ Christians and among straight Christians who love LGBTQ people; discuss how the church can be the church for sexual minorities as well as for straight people; and discover what committed Christians, both LGBTQ and straight, have to offer and teach each other within the larger body of Christ.
Apply for an upcoming Oriented to Love dialogue.

Pelicans.com postgame: Pelicans 104, Cavaliers 100
By: Jim Eichenhofer, Pelicans.com, @Jim_Eichenhofer
Trailing by a dozen points with four-plus minutes remaining Friday, the New Orleans Pelicans needed some offense in a hurry against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Fortunately for the Pelicans, a five-man unit NBA.com recently called the team's "ultimate offensive lineup" delivered in the clutch.
New Orleans scored 23 points in the final 4:44 of the game, turning a 93-81 deficit into a thrilling comeback win over Cleveland (4-9). The Pelicans (6-6) received contributions from starters Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon and Anthony Davis during the furious rally, as well as potent reserve scorers Ryan Anderson and Tyreke Evans. All five members of the high-powered quintet scored at least three points during the 23-7 surge, with Gordon making the biggest shot of the night, a three-pointer that put New Orleans in front 100-98 with 31 seconds remaining. Evans and Holiday sealed the dramatic win by dropping in two free throws apiece over the final 19 seconds.
"It's a tough lineup," Davis said after his 17-point, 13-rebound, three-block performance. "Everyone is capable of scoring the ball. It's a lineup we're probably going to go to a lot."
"This was a big win for us, because we showed we can win at the end when we are down and have to claw and fight our way back," Anderson said. "It's something we didn't really show at the beginning of the season, but we did it tonight."
It didn't look like Pelicans fourth-year coach Monty Williams would be earning his 100th career victory through much of Friday's game. Cleveland took a 51-42 lead into halftime and appeared to be in command when it opened the fourth quarter on a 22-11 surge to go up 93-81. New Orleans managed to score the next nine points, however, pulling within 93-90. Cavaliers All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving seemed to restore order for the visitors with a mid-range jumper at the two-minute mark, but Anderson and Davis scored baskets to force a tie at 95. The clubs exchanged the lead until Gordon's trey from the left side, one of the biggest shots he's made in two-plus seasons with New Orleans.
"Defensively, I think we just locked in in the final five minutes," Holiday said. "It's all about making big plays. Some of the best teams do that, where they might start off the game for the first three quarters and nothing's going right, but they stick with the gameplan. Defensively they get a lot of stops and it fuels their offense."
Williams indicated after the game that just prior to the comeback from down 12, Holiday gathered teammates together in the huddle and told them it was a chance to show maturity as a team. In the postgame locker room, Holiday confirmed Williams' account of what took place.
"I felt like it was time for us to grow and grow together," Holiday said of his message to the team. "I think everybody responded to that and picked up their defense."
As a result, New Orleans capped a perfect 3-0 homestand that also included victories over Philadelphia and Utah. The Pelicans got back to .500 for the second time this season. The Pelicans now head into a difficult back-to-back set Monday and Tuesday against Western Conference powers San Antonio and Golden State.
"I think this is big to move forward with, because we have the confidence that we can do it," Anderson said of not playing well overall but still posting a win. "It wasn't a very clean game. It was a pretty sloppy game for us, but we were just fighting through it."
With the Pelicans' five most talented players on the floor, Holiday was most pleased with the unit's defense, which held the Cavaliers to just three field goals during the decisive stretch.
"Scorers or not," Holiday said of the five players who all boast career double-digit point averages, "if we can play defense with the five that are out there, we're going to be tough."

The 10 Best Resources For Backpacks
Ways to Buy the Best Leather Products
Having leather products can be a classy and nice way to show around. Elegance and timelessness are the the adjective we often put with leather. True enough, choosing a leather product like a leather backpack can be confusing at times. The market is a lot products that you may choose and end up confused. Surely, it may be a challenge to decide which one to get. Some people may end up getting an inferior product with all the choices made by an uninformed person. Poor craftsmanship and fake leather can be a huge waste of money and the product will surely not last long. The key here is to know how to properly buy the right leather products. Be in the know on which products can improve the chances of getting the best value.
A high price is not a total guarantee a product is good. Products should be of sound quality and affordable. Insist, when buying leather products, to buy those built by hand, instead of those made using a machine. There are times makers will cut corners to make sure the costs are low to sacrifice quality and craftsmanship.
For starters, you need to ensure you are looking at authentic leather. Claiming authenticity is something fake leader will not make. Insist on looking at the leather to ascertain if it is genuine or fake. Fake leather will have a hard time catching up with real leather as far as durability is concerned. Best to invest in real leather. Synthetic leather has been able to do a great job in emulating real leather. Real leather has been showing the way over fake leather with the kind of quality it brings. Synthetic leather cannot sustain the punishment and wear and tear. For this reason, you need to ditch the synthetic leather and invest in real leather.
Make sure you have an idea on how they selected the skin and also the tanning process. Firstly, the selection will tell you how clean the material is and the number of scars. Cleaner leather means it is brighter and the tanning will help make the production of leather better. The cleaner the skin, the more durable it is. Tanned leather does not decay faster. To make the leather softer and supple, you need to subject is to tanning. This is something synthetic materials will not be able to do so.
When it comes to great products you need to ensure and look at durable linings. Make sure you are not choosing bags that are too thin and too light. Make sure to take a look at the edges. Full-grain leather is something with good surface. Make sure the polishing is done by hands only.

With revolutionary technological advancements, extraordinary comfort levels and a distinct touch of refinement, this 4x4 stands out from the pack.

With this kind of power and handling under the hood, you'll be able to tame the wildest terrain while the rest just stand back and watch.
Patrol vs Beethoven
When a car has been built that is so powerful, yet so incredibly refined, it's only fair it's tested on a track to match. So Nissan built a 4x4 track based on the soundwave created from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony to test out the new Nissan Patrol. Now that's is synergy.
Packed full of innovations in safety and capability, along with the most powerful V8 petrol engine in its class, the Patrol is without doubt one of the most advanced 4x4's Nissan has ever produced.
Stay grounded.
Even when you're off the beaten track, it's comforting to know Nissan's state-of-the-art Hydraulic Body Motion Control (HBMC) suspension system will keep you on the ground. The HBMC acts as both shock absorbers and stabiliser bars, and is only available in the Ti and Ti-L models.
We've placed enormous weight on its ability to tow.
Towing problems simply don't exist when you've got 3,500kgs of braked towing capacity, smooth acceleration, outstanding steering stability and positive handling. No matter what towing challenges your Patrol is faced with, prepare to have all of your expectations exceeded.
Perfectly at home away from home.
The Nissan Patrol really is the ultimate all road vehicle with its All MODE 4x4 Multi Surface Selection technology. Snow covered Alps, boggy marshes or outback deserts will be conquered with ease at the push of a button.
Always be prepared for the road ahead.
Thanks to the Patrol Forward Collision Warning system (FCW), you'll never have to worry about being involved in a pileup collision. Even when the cars involved are outside your range of vision, the FCW's forward radar system will detect any potential dangers, while intelligent cruise control will ensure a safe following distance is maintained. How good is that!

Thank you! I forgot that I had even colored this one in. I was going through and trying to find some line art to color and felt like working on something from Charles.
It's cuz Charles' stuff is awesome. It was so awesome that it blew your mind, and thus destroyed your memory of the coloring event itself.
You know that's true but not the reason... I think it was because that was around the time I was working on your first piece and it was THAT awesomeness that blew my mind. Now, I'm awesome and I'm used to awesome things but your awesomeality blew my brain up
Awesomeality, totally going into my vocabulary now. As for blowing your mind, terribly sorry for the inconvenience, but I'm not cleaning that mess up.
That's ok, it was internal. Awesomeality, I also like awesomeocity. I however do not like "awesomesauce". It is one of my pet peeves behind the words: "hella" and "supposeBly". Ooooh yeah, I forgot "Cool Beans"
Haha! I admit, I never liked "cool beans". It made no sense to me at all. Hella was never one I used much and dropped quickly. People say "supposeBly"? The fuck?
I am guilty of use of the awesomesauce, however, I do confess. Not much lately, though.
I am guilty of use of the awesomesauce, however, I do confess. Not much lately, though.
Awesomesauce wasn't so much the word as it was the person I heard saying it. I've been that way with music. I've dated a girl who was into a certain band and when we broke up, I couldn't stand that band. Oh yeah and in type my pet peeves: to, too, two. There, their, they're. I know my grammar sucks at times but come on

How to Support our Project
The UPA Legacy Project has many items
for purchase, from UPA-related Items,
on our "Shop" page, to some more
general Animation-related items,
that're on our "Anim Sales" page,
to items we just want to clear out of
our production office to make room for
the documentary production, for any price
you're able to afford. Those items are on our
"Spring Cleaning" page. Click one of the three shopping page buttons below. All funds go to the Documentary Feature, unless otherwise specified.
2. Purchase Collectables
The Documentary that Started it All
The stylish John Lautner designed UPA studio, unfortunately, no longer exists, torn down to build
a rather nondescript office building. But, memories of
UPA Pictures still linger, and we've been able to capture many of those memories on videotape, with artists who were there. We've recorded over 160 interviews, and have begun the long editing process, with even more interviews we want to do. But, since the whole idea
of doing a UPA documentary is what got us rolling
on this circuitous route, that first led to the Toon
in podcasts, and then the AniMazing Spotlight
festival and feedback project, we intend to
complete this documentary ... hopefully
this year, or maybe 2014 at the most.
The Toon In to the World of Animation podcasts is where
we began to really pick up speed doing animation interviews. Once we began interviewing former UPA animation artists, we branched out to include others in animation, international animation people who attended festivals that we attended,
in Annecy, Zagreb, Paris, Ottawa, Rio de Janeiro, Espinho, Portugal, and Melbourne, Australia. We also did a series of interviews of animation people from Disney for CTN. The more we did, the more we began to appreciate the unique individuals that form the animation community, passionate about their craft, open to sharing their ideas and techniques, and no need for fame or fortune. Now, there's a bunch of great people, the best! Click the panel to the left featuring the Toon in character to see who we've interviewed so far, and let us know if there are others we should interview by clicking the button below it.

Our primary fund-raising campaign is focussed on the UPA Documentary feature. If you'd like to be a Backer and get some nifty gifts, click the panel to the left. But, we also need funds for UPA Presentations, Tributes, and the major UPA Retrospective we hope to mount in 2014. So, click the button below, if you wish to donate to another of our projects.
3. Donate UPA Memorabilia
A Holiday glass designed by Fred Crippen
We also are very interested in receiving donations of historic UPA items, from cels, storyboards, model sheets, news clippings, films, who knows what all, like this delightful holiday glass by Fred Crippen.
Some may even be used in the documentary, but
in all cases you'll be acknowledged on this site
and in the documentary screen credits.
We are negotiating for a wonderful home for these items, where they will not only be kept in good condition, but be able to be seen by the public. We'll let you know when we've closed a deal.

What can I wear that suits both day and night occasions?
Q"I'm 27 and this time last year I had my daughter. It's changed my life. I now juggle working part-time with motherhood and don't have a lot of money to spend on clothes.
"Nights out are rare but when they happen I can't justify spending money on a dress I'll only wear once.
"I'm looking for hard-working, versatile pieces that can be worn for any occasion. I'm petite 5ft 2in and a size 10."
A Choose mix and match monochrome separates. Cheaper clothes look more expensive in black, plus black can look day-appropriate or night time glam depending on your accessories. I'm loving Vero Moda's party wear range which is inspired and modelled by Alexa Chung.
It is packed with demure Peter-pan collar blouses that are work appropriate but can be dressed up with a black skirt for after-hours. Try this jacquard skirt from Dunnes, €35.
Worn with black opaques and a knitted black cardi and patent heels, this skirt translates for work.
Buy a day-to-night peter pan-collared dress -- glam it up in an instant with Oasis's sheer black spotted tights.

Clinical pathways are a critical element in the effort to reduce healthcare variation and make both costs and outcomes more predictable, measurable and accountable.
Recently, Dr. Bruce Feinberg, Chief Medical Officer for Cardinal Health Specialty Solutions, led a mock clinical pathway simulation with 15 medical oncologists/hematologists to create pathways for the treatment of chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML).
This double-blinded event allowed healthcare stakeholders to witness firsthand the processes used by physicians to determine rules, review evidence and reach consensus in the creation of disease-specific oncology pathways. The findings from this event were recently published in the Journal of Clinical Pathways.

If anyone has had mets to their lungs please could you share the treatment option you went for? And, of course, how it worked for you.
I had my first recurrence in a lymph node under my right arm in January. I had total axillary clearance surgery and cancer was found in just one node and all other tissue clear.
Today, I returned from my CT Scan results with a 8mm lesion on my right lung. It's too small to biopsy so can't be confirmed as mets to lung yet. I have another scan in 4 weeks to see if it's grown - if so, it's certainly mets.
I'm not sure what else it could be. Has anyone experienced a strange lesion on their lung which wasn't cancer? If so, please ease my mind!
If it's another isolated recurrence it will most likely be surgically treated or with radiation (traditional approach or cyber knife etc) rather than chemo. If more mets show up in 4 weeks then chemo may be an option - though I recurred originally whilst having chemo so I am essentially chemo refractory. Things are not looking good for me tonight. Recurring twice with a three month gap between seems pretty hopeless so I am worried at this rate I'm not even going to see my 40th birthday. Very sad and very frightened. This thing seems out of control now.
(Background - 34 years old, hysterectomy May 2010, followed by carbo / taxol and Brachytherapy. 1st recurrence January 2011. Second possible recurrence April 2011. No husband, no kids, a bit too young to cope with all this to be honest! Really wishing for a cure in the face of something I understand is 100% incurable.)

I just joined this site, am diagnosed with endometrial cancer. I have not even had my surgery yet , but you will be in my prayers. I have a nephew who at 16 was diagnosed and is now 36 and cancer free, his mother my sister also has lesions on her lung which they determined to be non malignant, she is checked every three months or so.
May 10, 2011 - 7:10 pm
I can't take credit for this perspective, I read it on this board and unfortunately do not remember who posted it, but she said she was advised to view her cancer as a chronic condition that will always need to be managed but is not necessarily fatal. Kind of like having diabetes -- not a good thing, not something you want, and not something that will leave your health unscathed, but not necessarily something you're going to die from, either. It sounds as if you are managing it well, getting the information you need and doing what needs to be done. I can't blame you for wishing for a cure, me too, but if not a cure, at least we can wish for good management.
May 10, 2011 - 8:06 pm
You will remain in my prayers. My recurrence has been in the lymph nodes, so I don't have any experience with lung tumors. I have read a lot about the cyber knife. It has been successful for many. I hope they find a successful treatment for you. I am sorry you are facing this alone. It would be a lot to cope with. This site is a good place to come and express your concerns and anxieties. In peace and caring.
May 10, 2011 - 11:30 pm
So sorry to hear about your recurrences. Please talk to us so you can get some relief. The sisters on this board is very knowledgeable and supportive. I don't know what else to say. I feel your fears. What I can tell you is that Our Great Creator will not give you more than you can bear. Look into the scriptures in your Bible and you will certainly get some comfort. In the mean time, it does seem like you are doing some good research. I send you a big hug and wish that I can hug and squeeze all those bad cells out of you. My best wishes and comfort comes your way!!!! june
May 11, 2011 - 9:30 am
8 mm is tiny tiny. I read an article (posted it on here somewhere!) that PET scans were only reliable at diagnosing whether a lesion is cancerous 97% of the time for spots larger than 1 cm (10 mm); but at smaller than 10 mm false-negatives and false-positives were as high as 51% when biopsies were later done for confirmation. You may stil be okay.
I remember a CT scan reading once where a 'suspicious' shadow on my lung was marked by the doctor reading the scan. My radiation oncologist was clearly angry and said "This is just a C.Y.A. move in case something ever shows up there; I don't see anything suspicious there at all. All this does is worry a patient for months until their next scan." & he was right. I've never had a recurrence in my lungs.
So please try not to worry or jump the gun in getting back into treatment again. ((((Cler)))))

Hello everyone,
Thank you so much for writing to me. It is such a help to hear from women who are going through the same thing.
i have just started a Mindfulness meditation course. It helps to try and focus on the now (I feel well, fit, no pain) and not what the future will bring too much. As you say, it may be nothing. I really hope so...
May 16, 2011 - 5:50 am
I am going through a tough time myself, honey. CA 125 went up to 41. I had a complete work up with CT Scans, X-rays, etc in Oct. All NED except for a pesky thing that showed up in the X-Ray. After examination it is a fungus in my lungs. The specialist at MDA said don't worry about treating it unless I have a recurrence of the uterine cancer. Having another CT Scan tomorrow and get the results on Wed. Scared out of my wits. I have been so happy with being NED for a year and 3 months. Praying for a positive result. I am praying for you too, sweetie. I think like it was said this is kind of like a chronic condition. Keep treating the symptoms. Keep fighting.
May 16, 2011 - 3:34 pm
My 78 year old mom has UPSC. She had the same course of treatment as you 3 years ago, then liver & gall bladder surgery to remove mets and those have not returned. However, last year a PET/CT showed a small (9-11mm) mets on her lung. It was removed laprascopically (thru small incision) by an amazing surgeon, Dr. Robert McKenna, at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles.
She had follow up chemo (Doxil) that was not effective. Two new spots showed up this year on both her lungs and she is currently receiving Cisplatin once a month for 6 months. THe platinum based chemo was successful before and we are hopeful that it will again be effective o the lung mets, getting rid or decreasing the spots. You are young so your treatment options are even better. Don't give up, my mother's oncologist has many UPSC uterine cancer patients who have been in remission for over 12 years. Find the best doctors you can and review every treatment option - you have to be assertive and your own advocate sometimes but it is worth it! I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks to everyone who messaged me. I kept reading your messages over and over when I got scared and when I just couldn't sleep for worrying.
Had my CT scan results this past week and the lung nodule has shrunk from 8mm to just 2mm so it wasn't a 2nd recurrence!!
I do have a lump just above my left armpit. Axillary lymph nodes were clear in the scan so this lump is a little odd as it's more towards the top of my arm. Anyone ever had a recurrence in a limb?!? Will have biopsy and ultrasound in the next few weeks to see what's going on.
I know this is just a small victory when it comes to UPSC and because I have this small lump in my arm I can't really write that I'm NED but this is the closet I've been since my diagnosis last year. And I can look forward to a summer with no treatment which is so precious.
Anyway, thank you for your messages. It really helped through the scary times!
Jun 26, 2011 - 10:31 am
Fellow UPSC sis here. So happy that things are better for you and no recurrence in lungs. Hang in there.. I've got my fingers crossed that all will show NED and you will be dancing throughout summer and beyond!!!

Dear Cler-
We all worry about everything and every lump and bump and ache and pain. It's great to have this board to bring that worry to. Such a group of wise women.
Here's what my breast surgeon told me about my obsession of self breast exams 10 times a day (ok, I'm exaggerating). He said he likes to tell his patients that cancer growth is like children. When you're the parent and see them everyday, you don't notice their growth until you have to buy them new clothes. But when you're the grandparent and see them occasionally, their growth is immediately apparent. I presume that holds true with almost any lump and is pretty consistent with repeating your lung scan a month later, and not immediately trying to treat it. Much easier for them to wait than you, tho. So happy it was smaller!
I'm so sorry you have to experience this at such a young age.
Jun 29, 2011 - 5:49 pm
thanks for taking the time to write. My lump is in the under arm region but right at the edge of this area. I looked up both lipoma and fibroma which don't sound scary at all so that is a good thing to hold onto now!
My Ct Scan last week did check the axilla nodes under my arm and they said these look clear. I may have a weird node higher up than normal however so it can't be ruled out yet. Tomorrow is the biopsy and the results in 2 weeks so I'll know then.
At least I had one week of feeling almost like I achieved NED. Even 'almost NED' was a pretty good feeling!

ah, never mind
