Rays claim rubber match with Rockies
Denver, CO – Ryan Roberts, Kelly Johnson and Jose Lobaton drove two runs apiece as the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Colorado Rockies, 8-3, in the finale of a three-game series.
Rays starter Alex Cobb (4-2) fanned six and gave up three runs -- all on solo homers -- on eight hits and a walk in 6 2/3 innings for Tampa Bay, which took two of the three games in the set.
"We're playing right on that cusp, that verge of getting over the top and playing like we're capable of playing," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.
Michael Cuddyer, Troy Tulowitzki and Nolan Arenado had the solo shots for the Rockies. Starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin (3-1) made his return from the 15-day disabled list caused by a lower back sprain, and allowed six runs -- five earned -- on eight hits and three walks over seven frames.
"You're going to run into days like that unfortunately," Cuddyer said of his team going 0-for-9 with runners position. "We just couldn't up with the big hit."
The Rays scored three runs in the first inning. Desmond Jennings singled to start the game and Matt Joyce walked. Two batters later, James Loney singled to score Jennings, and Joyce reached home on a wild pitch by Chacin before Johnson hit a line-drive single to right center to bring Loney home.
Cuddyer's solo smash came in the second, and Tulowitzki knocked a solo homer two innings later to cut Tampa Bay's lead to 3-2.
In the sixth, Joyce drew a leadoff walk and Loney singled to bring him to third. Johnson followed with a single of his own, plating Joyce. Loney and Johnson both then advanced bases on a passed ball by Rockies catcher Wilin Rosario, setting up Roberts' two-run double that made the score 6-2.
Arenado homered with two outs in the seventh, but that was it for Colorado's offense.
Meanwhile, the Rays tacked on two more runs in the eighth. Evan Longoria walked to begin the inning and Loney had a single. Both would advance on another passed ball by Rosario before Lobaton singled to center to bring them home.
Jamey Wright came on in the ninth for the Rays and struck out the side to end the game.
Game Notes
Loney was 3-for-4 with three runs scored... Todd Helton also returned from the 15-day disabled list, caused by inflammation in his left forearm, for Colorado. He was 1-for-4 ... Johnson was caught stealing for the third time this season, most among second basemen and tied for third overall in the majors.

Saw the announcement today that Google Plus communities are being rolled out. These communities could also be called groups. They will allow you to join and post about a specific topic and the post will not show up in your general stream.
Ok, you may be allowed to make original post to the community page OR you may only be allowed to post comments. This will be determined by the community originator. They can make the community private or public.
How is this different than posting to one of your circles?
Because when you post to a public community, it may be visible to the public (if it is set to public). Whereas posting a message to one of your circles is only visible to people included in the circle – so you will not find more people interested in the topic because they can't see it.
I am in hopes that these community pages are better than the Facebook Groups pages. The FB groups were started by a gazillion people and then left to be spammed.
Starting one of these Google Plus Groups (Community) means you will need to devote time to moderate and make fresh relevant updates. If you think that you will just set one u and be famous…LOL!
I am sure we will see more about this as they roll it out!

Age of Conan Getting Face Import Tech 'Soon'
Players of Funcom's Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures will soon be able to bring their own faces and voices into the mature PC MMO thanks to a three-way collaboration between Big Stage Entertainment, GGL Global Gaming, and developer Funcom.
Using three user-provided digital images, Big Stage's web-based technology creates a 3D "@ctor," which can then be customized with accessories, such as an eye patch. GGL is handling promotion, with prizes for those that "share" their "@ctor" most.
Currently, the implementation is limited to videos and images on the web, but Big Stage vows that the "@ctors" users create today will be supported "in-game soon."

BOSTON (AP) Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo was ejected in the second quarter of Wednesday night's game against Brooklyn when he shoved Kris Humphries after the Nets forward knocked Kevin Garnett to the ground with a hard foul.
Humphries was given two technical fouls and ejected. Nets forward Gerald Wallace, who joined the fray under the Boston basket, was given one technical, but since it was his second of the game he was also sent off. Garnett was given one technical foul and remained in the game.
Rondo finished the night with three assists, ending his streak of 37 consecutive games with at least 10 that dated to March 11 of last season. That ties John Stockton for second-longest in NBA history. Magic Johnson holds the record at 46 consecutive games in the 1983-84 season.
The tussle started when Humphries fouled Garnett, pushing him to the floor as he shot from the right baseline. Rondo shoved Humphries, sending the skirmish into the stands. Wallace began shoving Garnett before the fight was broken up.
After reviewing the incident on replay, the referees gave Humphries two technical fouls and ejected him. Rondo was simply ejected.
The Celtics point guard has had a history of petulance, including a one-game suspension during the opening round of last year's playoff series against Atlanta after he chest-bumped referee Marc Davis while complaining about a call in the final minute of a Boston loss.
During the regular season, he was suspended for two games for throwing a ball at an official.

The lighting in the room (9) is poor.
Two small bedside lamps and 1 standard lamp fixed in a corner, it is not easy to read by these. No ceiling lights. The hotel is impersonal; did not feel a place to relax. Apart from the person on reception a.m. on 12 Feb. the staff were not welcoming and easily available. They seemed to be chatting amongst themselves quite a bit on the Sunday evening... a quiet time guest-wise but those staying need to feel welcome. Service at the dining table was good that eve.

The Worst Western
I hope the directors were receiving a good salary as they certainly were not putting the profits back into the hotel.
The Hotel was tired and shabby. There was no luxury to our bedroom - no small fridge, no small handcreams, shampoo nor conditioner. The plug chain was not attached to the plug, the toilet roll kept dropping out of the holder. The room was very basic and the decor was cold and unfriendly.

The 2013 Annual Meeting of The Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries (CBHL) took place May 6-11 at the Michigan State University Library in East Lansing, Michigan. This year's theme was "A Study in Green: Horticultural and Botanical Educations for All Ages." Hosted by MSU Agriculture and Forestry Librarian Suzi Teghtmeyer, this meeting promised to be an exciting opportunity to hear about what member librarians are doing to manage their collections.
One of the strengths of an organization like CBHL is that it constantly offers new opportunities for libraries to collaborate, innovate, strengthen, and support the research needs of their institutions.
Among the highlights was a trip to the Dow Gardens in Midland, where we heard guest speaker and MSU alum Dr. Allan Armitage. Earlier that day, I gave a presentation about recent enhancements to the Arnold Arboretum Horticultural Library website and how we try to keep our users tuned in with fresh content. Other presentations detailed new archival projects, workflows, outreach, and resource sharing.
A big surprise came when Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) received the Charles Robert Long Award of Extraordinary Merit and I joined library staff from Harvard University Herbaria, New York Botanical Garden, and the Smithsonian Libraries to receive the award. Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) hosts digitized versions of early publications from Arnold Arboretum and partner institutions.
After winning some choice titles for the library during the Annual Literature Award Book Raffle, I was invited by MSU Philosophy Librarian Joshua Barton and Turfgrass Information Center Project Manager Peter Cookingham to see the library's growing collection of Punk and Underground Zines! I recognized quite a few from titles I'd collected in the 1990s. Who remembers Factsheet Five?
UPDATE: The proceedings of this year's meeting are now available in the August 2013 issue of the CBHL Newsletter [link].

Doctor Nancy Christensen
Dr. Nancy Christensen, a native Houstonian and graduate of Lamar High School, completed her undergraduate degree at Tulane University. Ties to Houston brought her back to the city where she pursued her dream of becoming a veterinarian. Dr. Christensen completed her DVM from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine in 2003. Dr. Christensen has a long history with the Cat Veterinary Clinic. As a child, she and her mother would bring their family cats to see Dr. Pennings, the original owner of the clinic. Later on she worked as a full time vet technician for Dr. Runté at the clinic and got to know many of the patients who would eventually become her patients as a veterinarian. Dr. Christensen loves the relationship she builds with her patients and their owners.
Dr. Christensen is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners, American Veterinary Medical Association, Texas Veterinary Medical Association and Harris County Veterinary Medical Association.
Dr. Christensen and her husband have three children, 2 dogs, and 2 cats – it's never a dull moment at their home. They love doing outdoor activities. When Dr. Christensen is away from the clinic you might find her with her family taking walks or riding bikes around Houston. The destination of these family outings is often one of the museums, the Hermann Park Railroad (the sons' favorite activity) or the Houston Zoo. Their daughter loves all creatures and is always asking for more animals - the latest request being that of a skunk! Let's hope Mom can escape that request.
Doctor Matthew Filip
After seven years of school in College Station, Dr. Matthew Filip returned to his hometown in 2003 with a doctorate degree from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine. His decision to focus specifically on cats was largely influenced by his admiration for feline vets involved in his training. Ever since, he has never regretted the decision to work in a small clinic far away from the howling of beagles and teeth of chihuahuas.
With his focus narrowed to one species, he has been able to explore an interest in what he considers the most common problems affecting cats, especially dentistry and dietary management. He hopes that before he retires, he will see a decline in the incidence of the leading illness affecting older cats - chronic progressive kidney dysfunction - and believes that proper preventative care and dentistry will accomplish that goal.
Dr. Filip resides in nearby Timbergrove with the six women in his life...his wife, Amanda , his daughter, Anna, his sons William and James. along with his dog and two cats. He enjoys cooking vegetarian meals, reading on his Kindle, and playing strategy games.
Doctor Meghan Tibbs
Dr. Meghan Tibbs was born and raised in central Illinois. After completing her bachelor's degree at Eastern Illinois University, she headed to the sunshine state where she received her veterinary degree from the University of Florida. She has furthered her training by becoming certified in small animal acupuncture through the Chi Institute of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (www.tcvm.com).
Dr. Tibbs is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners and the American Veterinary Medical Association. Her favorite aspect of feline patient care is finding a good balance between the family and their pet by discovering ways to keep medication to a minimum, while still providing a good quality of life. She feels it's important to manage chronic diseases with as little stress as possible.
When Dr. Tibbs is not at the Cat Veterinary Clinic caring for her patients, she is spending her time with her own cats: Mufasa, Sinclair, Peanut, and Butters. She also enjoys yoga, the beach, antiquing, traveling, and going to see live music.
Doctor Erin Wilkens
Dr. Erin Wilkens was born and raised in Marshall, a small town in Northeast Texas. She went to undergraduate school at University of Texas at Tyler where she graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Biology. After graduation, she was employed by 2 different wineries before pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. She longed for a more challenging and satisfying career, and had always kept the thought of becoming a veterinarian in the back of her mind. Upon starting vet school at Texas A&M, she discovered a love for working with cats. Growing up she had always enjoyed having cats as a pets, but now she saw them on a whole new level. She noticed, when compared to dogs, cats were often misunderstood and the treatment options were more limited. She decided she wanted to become more knowledgeable about cats so she could share that knowledge with other cat owners.
Dr. Wilkens is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners, American Veterinary Medical Association, and Texas Veterinary Medical Association. She enjoys educating clients on common diseases and internal medicine cases.
Outside the Cat Clinic, Dr. Wilkens loves to garden, refinish old furniture, and visit Texas wineries. Dr. Wilkens and her husband, Kevin, have 4 wonderful fur babies at home. These include a dog named Sherlock, and 3 cats - Po, Heidi, and Choco.

By late summer, work is expected to begin on a development that would bring more housing, as well as institutional, office and retail space, to Cramerton. Developers introduced the idea for a mixed-use community, called The Villages at Cramerton Mills, three years ago.
But while the economy slowed work on the project, it isn�t dead, say stakeholders. In fact, the project is shaping up to be bigger than originally expected.
The proposed development off Cramer Mountain Road will house condos, houses, apartments, shops and office space, Cramerton town manager Michael Peoples said.
The development was approved by Cramerton City Council back in May 2010. Now Nick Parker, an engineer with Amicus Engineering who is leading the development, is asking for more land.
Parker is asking the town to rezone 19 acres on Hamrick Road.
Developers already own 82 acres of land designated for the community. The 19 acres on Hamrick Road is owned by the town. Decisions have yet to be made on whether Cramerton will sell, lease or otherwise loan the land to the developers.
Currently, the property houses a former sewer treatment plant and firing range for the Cramerton Police Department. The wastewater plant went dormant in the 1990s, but if the request is approved, the firing range would have to be moved, Peoples said.
That won�t happen immediately.
�We don�t want to disturb what we have currently with our police department utilizing that so we don�t want to do something too quickly until we have our plan in place,� Peoples said.
What�s going to be there?
The project approved three years ago called for 84,000 square feet of office, retail space and 40,000 square feet of institutional space. There would also be a residential neighborhood in the development. Developers want to build more than 140 cottages, 60 townhomes, 40 bungalows, 220 apartments, 20 flats and 40 condos with garages.
They�ll sell for $50,000 to $350,000, Parker estimates.
But the entire community would be anchored around an institutional space that Parker is calling the research and work-force development center. Organizers say it will house researchers for green building, renewable energy and sustainable communities. Those are also concepts Parker hopes to bring to life in The Villages.
�The original intent and current intent of the project was for it to be very forward thinking,� Parker said. �It�ll be a sustainable community, low impact development, green building and renewable energy.�
Opening pushed back
Peoples said the project has been in the works for more than two years, but cautious planning and a tough economy have kept The Villages in the developmental stage.
Parker agreed, saying the main reason for the wait was careful planning for financing.
�This is an innovative project, so we needed to find a like-minded finance partner who believed in the integrity and sustainability of the project. It took time to get that partner to the table,� Parker said.
He says the group found that partner but won�t divulge the name until a formal announcement in late summer. Parker did say the finance partner is a local developer.
He expects crews to break ground on phase one of the project in late summer, with a grand opening in the first quarter of 2014 if all goes as planned.
The Villages will be the biggest project Cramerton has ever seen, Peoples said.
�It will just make the town larger as a whole,� Peoples said. �It will be a really big project; the largest project that Cramerton has ever seen � I think it�s phenomenal for not only Cramerton but Gaston County as a whole.�
Parker will submit his request for more rezoning to the town�s planning board. The board will then research the proposal and make a recommendation. Then the council will decide whether to approve the land deal.
�This is just the very beginning of a longer process,� Peoples said.

Sixty pounds, gone forever.
218 pounds:
A look into the secret life and inner thoughts of an obese mom. I have to get out of this hellish nightmare.
Wow! I can really see a difference compared with your starting pics. Good job!
I can see that you are more tone in your upper body as compared to the 50 pounds loss pictures! So don't worry, you're doing great!
Lyn, THe difference is amazing. Your fore arms are toned looking, your hips have slimmed down and there is definition between your tummy and boobs...that was the bit I got most excited about when I really started loosing, that from side I actually had a silhouette. You do to. Stand straight, stand tall, wear clothes that show off that wonderful figure that is emerging. Some of us, no matter how much weight we loose will have that wonderful hourglass figure...enjoy it!
Awesome pics. You are definitely shrinking! You are doing so well despite everything that you are going through, and I think that is amazing. Keep it up!
Congratulations!! You look awesome :)
Way to go!
The amazing shrinking woman gets even smaller!
Congratulations! That's awesome! Those photos are great!
unbelievable! PARTICULARLY the side view - stunning. on days when you feel discouraged, look at that side shot [great jeans, by the way]. bravo - and thanks for giving me a dose of much-needed HOPE this morning. I'm 6 months pregnant with #4, and after baby comes, I'm ready for my new beginning... and eating healthy and moving NOW to prime the pump!
Looking great! I see alot of difference since your last picture, particularly in your arms and tummy. Way to go!
Big difference. You look great. You really look completely different from the starting photos. Wonderful!!!
I can see a really distinct difference from the "50 pounds gone" photos. You look fantastic.
Congrats, you look amazing!
You look amazing! What a transformation.
Congratulations on this achievement. Be proud!
I see some face! You're getting braver, eh?
Lyn, 60 lbs makes a *huge* difference in the way you look.
What an accomplishment! Congrats!
Awesome!! Congratulation!!
I agree. There is a difference.
Waw, this is really an amazing achievement. The difference between those photos on the left and then the ones in this post is HUGE. You are looking slim, certainly if you consider the fact that you've had kids. I'm trying to lose weight myself and it looks like I'm finally getting some results, I've tried a million times with as much diets. I'm now going to blog about my experiences, hoping to do the same for other people that you did for me. You can find my blog at http://fightpounds.blogspot.com/
Good luck and congratulations!
WOW!! You look good. Your body looks so much younger!
Congrats!!!! There's definitely a big difference in your upper body (like others said before me)! Keep it up :-)
I think you look so great! I know its hard to see the changes in ourselves (I have the same problem, I still see myself as fat), but trust me, there is a big difference in how you look and you look fantastic!
Yippie! I was looking forward to those pictures! You look awesome! Celebrate your success!
Oh yeah - very nice. I was anxiously awaiting the picture update. I can tell a difference at each 10 lbs. and it is amazing.
WOW! You look FANTASTIC!
Also, I wanted to add that I just went to look at your 50lbs picture and there is a DEFINITE difference, even if you feel the same size. Look at those two sets of pictures side by side; you're much smaller now!
Wow you look awesome! I can definitely see the difference. You are one of my inspirations to move along my journey and this just reinforces with me that I can do this! HUGS
You definately can see a weight loss! Good going girl! Keep up the good work! I hit minus 50#'s today and had my hubby take my picture. Tried to download it to my blog, but my battery seems to have decided to die! Hope to get it downloaded tomorrow.
All I can say is OHMYGOSH!! You are Wonder Woman! Keep up the amazing work. :)
You look great Lyn!
You look GREAT! A really big difference from your starting weight.. congratulations!
Truly inspiring and a reason for me to get OFF MY BUTT and start logging my food again. Thanks Lyn -You've got to be proud of yourself and excited for what more is to come.
And yes, you are one of the fortunate who when losing does not lose the boobs. A nice figure is emerging! Keep up the great work!!
wow, you look so awesome! your tummy is so flat, I'm jealous!
Awesome! I love looking at your pics because they give me such hope that I can do it, too!
That's really amazing, congrats!!
You...look... AMAZING!!! I can't believe even the difference from 10 lbs ago.
You look great
The incredible shrinking woman! You look FABULOUS!! I can see the change, no doubt about it!
That is Wonderful! Congratulations on the hard work paying off!
Lyn, you look fantastic! I can really tell. I know what you mean about having to lose much to see a difference, but you are there. Every pound now will be an incredible difference. Way to persevere in the early stages. Now the excitement really kicks in. You are inspiring to me. I am at 300 and have not escaped from obesity yet. Your blog is helping!

I haven't read your blog for a couple weeks, so I thought I'd check in today.
I'm proud of you! You look amazing!
Thanks for sharing those pics. You look awesome. We are always are toughest critic and have the hardest time noticing the difference in ourselves.
Wow! You look fantastic! Your weight loss is quite evident, my dear! :)
You look great - your hips look much different than the 50 pound pics - you've got a SHAPE, sister! Good for you - and keep doing those "fashion shows" - buy the next size and keep tryin' them till they fit OR - I've even bought stuff and when I went to start wearing it, it was already too BIG. Sad, but NOT REALLY! Keep buying yourself new stuff and remember, too, that wearing clothing that is too big only makes you look bigger so get some form fitting stuff and look hot. You deserve it.
Congratulations, you rocking fatfighter, you!
Such an amazing difference compared to your "start" photos on the sidebar. Tremendous change, fabulous progress.
You continue to keep our spirits up and hope alive, girl!
The Princess-who is making your lima beans and crispy kale this week...
The difference is incredible. Look at you from the side view, you are half the person from the start. I'm so happy for you.
I came across your page on my journey to finding the point value of Applebee's maple brownie dessert...LOL! Just wanted to let you know that your postings are an inspiration and I hope you have much more success!
Awesome! You inspire me. Keep it up PLEASE!
WOW I haven't been to anyones page in a while. How do you not notice a difference. You look fantastic. Can you let me know how your doing it? Keep up the pix I love seeing them!!
Wow, these photos are so fantastic! I am where you used to be and have a long way to go. Love your blog by the way
These photos are fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing...it helps to see so many people have success (I've had my own...), it just motivates me more.
You look incredible!!!
Way to go!
You look fantastic! I know you say you can't tell the difference from the last 10 lbs, but all I could think was wow! What a difference 10 lbs makes. It makes me feel more motivated to realize that. :) Keep up the good work!
I just found your blog; and I only have 40 lbs to loose [premarin is to blame] but you are beautiful.
What is so good is you are past 50% point and have less to lose than you have already lost !!!
And I can see your feet are looking so better. Recently I spoke to a friend in the mid-west who said she really improved her feet with yoga 2-3x per week. She said she had better arches and her feet were nearly flat.
And I wanted to say you are right. To loose weight a person must first be responsible to their personal health, and that is so many activities. Exercise, portion control/calorie counting and not buying junk.
I can see that you have been working very hard. Its so inspiring to me since I'm just starting my weight loss journey. Keep up the good work!!
You look awesome! 60 pounds is a great accomplishment!
I have been reading your blog for a while and I just noticed the links on the side to these photos. AMAZING! You look so good... these photos are awesome!
You are doing an amazing job here. Whatever it is, KEEP IT UP! :)
I have just found your blog. Congratulations on your weight loss. I am starting a new way of eating and hope to lose 60 pounds.
I hope I am as successful as you.
I just found your blog...it looks like I'm the only one not reading it! lol...
You have done so well on your journey. Congratuations. Those pics are awsome. What an inspiration!
I just ran across your blog, what wonderful inspiration! I see a big difference in this one and the 50 pound shot, especially in your arms. I carry a lot of weight in my upper arms and it makes me so frustrated! Congradulations!
you look amazing! can't WAIT to see your face attached!
Losing 60 lbs is a huge accomplishment. That you write that you don't really see a big difference speaks to how hard you are on yourself maybe? You look great. Let yourself feel great about it. Strut your stuff. You are an inspiration!
Well done, you are looking really good:)
Way to go! You look fantastic and yes, I think you carry your weight very well :)
Just found your blog. Being FAT sucks. Robert Collier says, "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out."
Your efforts are showing!! You go girl!
This is lovely, and extremely inspiring! Actually your weight in this is twenty pounds lighter than my starting weight, this has really motivated me! <3
Go you!!! Fantastic!!!!
You go girl!! You have accomplished that which many have tried!
It takes a lot of courage and self discipline WELL DONE!! I have found ginger tea helps to get the blood circulation and digestive systems going.
Wow, good for you. Hope you feel better about life. You are inspirational. It is one thing to have a problem and be miserable about it. It is huge when someone does something to change that. Keep on going! We are keeping up with you!
Congratulations! You were never awful looking, just not as healthy as you could be. I hope you are feelig the effects of a great weight loss and I must say I am happy I came upon your blog. You are an inspiration to others and to myself. I have about 200 pounds to lose and you give me hope. Thank you.
Hello I just wanted to say something about the comment you made about not seeing that you have lost any weight. I just want you to know when I lost a whol bunch of weight I could not see it. It's a psychological thing. I got to be 130 pounds and when I looked in the mirror I still saw same old fat me. I just wanted to let you know sometimes your head gets so used to seeing your body fat that it keeps seeing it that way. So dont get your hopes down because just cuz you cant see a difference(and may never be satisfied with you weight) everyone else sees a huge difference!
I am so glad I found your blog. If you can do it, I can do it. You look soooooooo good! I wish I could give you a big hug.
You look amazing! You are doing so good. I say bring on the 16's!
You rock, keep up the great work! You are very inspirational!
Came over from a friend's blog(We are all fighting the bulge). You look wonderful! What an awesome bit of perseverance. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow you look great
Your doing it great! Keep it up!
wow! amazing!!! I just found your blog and I am now off to peek around. I can use some inspiration.
Wow! Congratulations! You look awesome...good luck on the 16s :)
wow...you look great! congrats on the weight loss.
I buy pants in a smaller size too...and keep trying them on until they fit. It's a great motivator!!
keep up the good work! I started at 18/20 now in a 14 and waiting to fit into my 12s!!
Good for you! You are looking fantastic.
Girl, you are seriously rockin' it! Keep going!
Congratulations! I would love to lose weight like that. On a diet and walking regiment now. Hopefully someday I can post before/after pictures like yours!
That's so awesome! You can really tell a difference. You are very inspirational.
Congratulations! How far you've come :) That's so amazing.
Wow you really look great, congrats!
Congrats! What an accomplishment. I actually weight that much now, too. This summer I was 235. Everyone please see my weight loss blog - www.mywickedwickedways.org.
I'd appreciate your support!
That is amazing! You look as though you carry your weight similarly to me, and the way your body has balanced itself out from the pounds you've lost so far is phenomenal! Can't wait to see the next pic! :o)
You really inspire me..actually your blog was the one that made me want to start my own :)..i hope it works for me.. :)
WOW. I don't really even know how to say, except that you are such a fantastic inspiration to people like me. Congratulations!!!
This is amazing. You are such an inspiration to me. I was just browsing the web trying to figure out how to start loosing weight and then I came across this blog, and reading some of your blogs inspired me to start one. Thank you, you dont know how much your blog has meant to me!!!!!
Wow. This is my first visit to your blog. I was in the hospital emergency room last night with heart attack symptoms. Fortunately, it turned out to be GERD. I am searching the internet today to see how other people have gotten serious about their weight loss efforts and map out my own plan to escape obesity. What an inspiration. You go, girl!
i am soo very impressed by you! i am on tis journey now myself 40 lbs so far! i wanted to know i have arms that are huge and am losing everywhere but there any advice? i hate my arms! can i get them back after the weight loss is done or am i gonna have floppy ones forever?could you email me i would love to hear from you! well done!
I hope I can start posting before and after pics... Good job!!! No. Great, Awesome job!!!
Are you going to do any nutritional cleansing to keep toxins out so your weight won't come back? You look great. What an inspiration.
Just FAB!!! Keep it up!
Aw look at your skinny mini little figure! Too cute! You're doing great- keep it up!!

Nitrous Oxide is renown worldwide for their automobile enhancing advantage. But did you know that NOS was initially developed for World War II fighter planes? Anyway that's trivial, but other facts that you should know is that nitrous oxide is inflammable so therefore it cannot burn without proper mixture. It's a cheap way of getting instant power, and can be installed in any vehicle providing the engine is in good condition. Many later model EFI cars are going for what is called the 'dry' manifold system. This is where the dry system injects nitrous and supplies extra fuel by 'spiking' the fuel pressure regulator to supply more fuel through the factory injectors. You can buy nitrous kits with everything you need to install the system into your car. This includes solenoids, nozzle, filters, fittings, jets, switches, braided hosing, wiring, fuses and a bottle of Nitrous Oxide. Any competant mechanic will be able to install this into your car within a day. NOS is undoubtly the worldwide leader in Nitrous Oxide systems for cars. I would definately recommend this label for your CA18 powered vehicle. If you happen to have a turbocharged car then that's a bonus! NOS can be used as an anti-lag system off the line, you can set the NOS to operate 'say for the first two gears or so' and you wouldn't use that much Nitrous Oxide that way. I'd recommend using the 50hp kit for the EXA, oh by the way 50hp doesn't represent the power gain but the nozzle size instead. Your only expense would be a refill of the nitrous bottle every month or so depending on your usage. But it'll be good for half-a-dozen 1/4mile passes. I saw a NOS kit in the paper for a $750aud, add around $400-500 for installation and you have quite a screaming nitrous breathing monster. And also, don't be shy about spending a bit for installation because most problems occur not with the nitro system itself but with installation (costing plenty in repair bills).
Nitrous oxide systems are illegal on the streets of Australia, and are deemed suitable only for drag racing or similar. However you can have the system installed legally, as long as it's not connected it will be classed as a 'load' by the RTA.

John Deere recently warned that "gray market" equipment meant for overseas markets but being sold in the United States is not covered by warranty and may not meet U.S. safety standards. Gray market machines are products designed for use in other countries but imported back to the U.S. without authorization of the manufacturer.
In May, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) moved to stop the importation of certain gray market machines. Specifically for John Deere, third party representatives are selling Self-Propelled Forage Harvesters and Telehandlers originally designed for the European market to U.S. dealers, independent retailers, and end users. The ITC ruled that it is illegal for importers to sell these European-version machines to the U.S. market. Customs officials have been ordered to stop these machines at the border and not allow them to be brought into the United States.

Stage is set for a showdown that could rival last year's epic sprint to the finish.
INDIANAPOLIS -- They raced 1-2-3 in line, trading the lead a whopping 15 times over the final, frantic 75 laps. All three drivers had a last-lap plan in mind when they zipped past the white flag, and it was Takuma Sato who acted first with a bold move for the win.
Sato pulled out of line, dipped inside of Dario Franchitti and tried to pounce as they headed into the first turn. Scott Dixon watched and waited from third, figuring he was now in position to slingshot past both for the victory.
Instead, Sato and Franchitti nearly touched. Sato spun out and into the wall and Franchitti zipped to his third victory in one of the most dramatic Indianapolis 500 finishes in memory. Some even argued it was one of the greatest Indy 500s ever.
It sure won't be easy to top today.
"I got a lot of comments from drivers in NASCAR and Formula One saying it was the best 500 they'd ever seen," Franchitti said. "But I think this year will also be a very close, exciting race."
The bar was certainly raised at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last year with 34 lead changes, passing throughout the field, Franchitti rallying from the back to win and three close friends of the late Dan Wheldon sweeping the podium. So perfect it could have been a Hollywood movie script.
But the IndyCar Series has given every indication this season that today at Indianapolis Motor Speedway could be another thriller.
The series is off to a terrific start this year with three winners in the first four races, and for the first time since 1991 none of the winners drive for the mighty Penske Racing or Chip Ganassi Racing teams. Instead, it's been three wins for resurgent Andretti Autosport and one for A.J. Foyt Racing, which celebrated Sato becoming the first Japanese driver to win an IndyCar race.
So steady this season, Sato goes into today as the series points leader. And, he'll start from the sixth row — right next to Franchitti and Dixon.
Sato, who calls last year's race "an unforgettable day," has the chance to give Foyt his first Indy 500 victory since Kenny Brack in 1999. Sato's win at Long Beach last month was the first for the Foyt organization since 2002.
"We're here for it. We are here aiming to win the 500, so there is no reason why we cannot," Sato said. "Winning, I was so close last year. Knowing that now, how to get there, what you need there, so it's been a tremendous experience last year to hopefully I can translate it to ... this year's performance."
The field is stacked, though, and has a pair of drivers trying to join the exclusive club of four-time winners. Franchitti and Helio Castroneves are each vying to join Foyt, Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears as the only four-time winners of the Indy 500, a feat that's not been done since Mears' 1991 victory.
"What an incredible opportunity for the fans to have not only one, but two guys trying to make history," Castroneves said. "Forget about the names, forget about who it is. But imagine people who didn't even see the last time when the guy won four times."
They've got five Andretti Autosport cars standing in their way and two of them start from the front row.
Carlos Munoz, a 21-year-old Colombian making his IndyCar debut, will start second alongside Marco Andretti, who is once again considered a favorite but must overcome a curse that has limited his famous family to one win — Mario Andretti in 1969 — in 80 starts.
Andretti feels far more comfortable about his chances this year than he did last season, when he called the race "mine to lose." Graham Rahal, the other half of the closest rivalry in the mild-mannered series, doesn't consider his nemesis the favorite.
"Do I think it's Marco's race? No. Marco hasn't led in the pack all week," Rahal said. "He just sits in the back and runs a big lap time and pits."
Instead, Rahal thinks everybody is overlooking AJ Allmendinger, who will make his Indianapolis 500 debut seven years after he left open-wheel racing for NASCAR. A failed drug test cost him his NASCAR ride last summer with Roger Penske, but the team owner has given him a second chance with this IndyCar opportunity.
Allmendinger has been fast at Indy — so good that struggling teammate Will Power used his setup in qualifying. Power said Allmendinger has the best car in traffic of all three Penske entries. Named after Foyt, his father's favorite driver, Allmendinger could complete his comeback today.
"AJ Allmendinger is a very good race driver. He's had quite a bit of experience," said Foyt. "I met his daddy the other day, I said, 'Why did you handicap that kid putting A.J. on him?' "
Allmendinger is one of 11 American drivers in the field of 33 — there are also a record-tying four women — and leading the red, white and blue charge is local boy Ed Carpenter, the only owner-driver in the field.
Carpenter, the stepson of IndyCar Series founder Tony George, is a graduate of Butler and a die-hard Indiana Pacers fan and the surprise pole-winner for the Indy 500. He is noted for his skills racing on an oval, and he's twice beaten Franchitti in wheel-to-wheel races to the finish line. But now he'll be leading the field to the green flag of his hometown race with all of Indiana watching.
"I don't feel the pressure," he said. "As far as the local fan base and support, it's fun. I don't think that translates into pressure."

Note: This was a previously-published blog post that our readers found extremely helpful…so I've made a few updates and posted it again. Let us know if there are any other "how-to" topics you would find helpful!

It's arrived!!
No, not the little bundle of joy you have been waiting for – your nursery bedding! You anxiously unwrap it, anticipating how wonderful it is going to look on your new crib.
One key to a beautiful and safe nursery is the proper installation of crib bedding, especially the crib bumper. We have prepared this step-by-step guide to help you get the most out of your new crib bedding.
Keep in mind that the bumper should fit tightly in order to provide the most security and safety. Some fabrics, such as minky, have more stretch than others. As all fabrics and patterns differ it is important to understand the fundamentals of installing the crib bumper to ensure the perfect fit.
Step 1: After unwrapping your crib bumper, look closely at each of the 3-sectioned panels at both ends of the bumper. You will notice that one of the 3-paneled end sections will be slightly shorter than the other.
You will want to start with the shortest end section. It is important that you begin by securing the corner of the short end piece to the back corner of either the headboard or footboard of the crib.
Step 2: Securely tie the corner piece of the short end to the back corner crib post.
Step 3: Position the bumper around the inside rails with the corner seams placed accordingly. The ties should be facing the outside of the bumper.
Step 4: Firmly pull the back section of the bumper until it is tight along the back rails and fasten at the other back corner (back corner #2). This may require more tension on fabrics that have a lot of stretch or "give"to them. Remember, it is important that the bumper is taut.
Step 5: Once the back corners are secure you may tie the center back ties for extra reinforcement. Now the crib bumper should be firmly attached along the back of the crib.
Step 6: Now you are ready to tie the front corners of the crib bumper in the same manner. Tie the front corner pieces to the front crib posts. Work around to the final corner where the two ends meet.
Step 7: Using the ties from the short end (Step 1) and the ties on the front section, secure both of these to the front corner crib post. To prevent gapping, criss-cross the ties before tying around the post.
Step 8: Lastly, secure the center ties on the front.
Voila! You now have a perfectly fitting crib bumper.
Now all that is left to do is stand back and admire your new nursery! And of course, decide on the drapes!

Run for Money Toshochu: Escape the Greatest Hunters in History on the 3DS, while virtually unheard of in the West, it is one of the most popular 3DS game of last year in Japan.
Much like the TV show it is based on, Run for Money Toshochu: Escape the Greatest Hunters in History is set up as a giant game of tag against Matrix agent-esque characters called "hunters." After picking a location—like a city, a ninja village, or outer space—you begin the game of tag. Each round lasts 15 minutes. Over this time, more and more hunters will be released into the area; so you must complete various missions to unlock more and more of each map to hide in.
Each second you survive you automatically gain money, and you can add to your funds by collecting coins from across the map. And if things get too hairy, you can leg it to the nearest payphone and quit with the money you have collected so far. If you are caught, you get nothing.
To help you deal with the hunters, there are Mario Kart-style item boxes scattered across each map. You can use the weapons inside—like banana peels, for example—to escape the hunters when spotted.
To see how the game plays in action, check out the video above. (Apologies in advance for the quality of the image on the top screen.)
Run for Money Toshochu: Escape the Greatest Hunters in History was released in Japan for the 3DS on July 5, 2012. There are currently no plans for an international release. Be sure to check back for our Kotaku East import preview later this week.

Irrigating cotton makes sense and "cents," says Amanda Smith, University of Georgia department of agricultural and applied economics in Tifton.
Smith discussed the economics of irrigating cotton at the recent Beltwide Cotton Conferences in Orlando, Fla. She said advantages include increased yield, reduced yield variability and improved profit potential.
"But irrigation also comes with costs," she said. Initial investment in installation and equipment, as well as ongoing operating costs can be expensive.
Based on state crop production budgets, a typical diesel-powered, center-pivot irrigation system covering 160 acres in Georgia would cost $153,000 at installation. Total operating cost of that system would be $148.84 per acre per year.
An electric-powered unit would take a $140,000 initial investment and a $73 per acre annual operating cost.
A Texas center-pivot system operating on natural gas would require initial installation costs of $170,000 and an annual operating cost of $111.97. Furrow irrigation in Texas costs $137,300 to install and $141.23 annual per acre operating costs with natural gas power. Labor costs are higher with furrow systems, Smith said.
The electric-pivot unit is the least expensive. She said natural gas-powered pivot irrigation in Texas requires less field preparation than furrow irrigation.
But the yield advantages can be significant as well. Arkansas budgets, for instance, show average dryland yield at 800 pounds per acre. That jumps to 1,200 pounds per acre under both furrow and pivot irrigation systems.
In Georgia, dryland yield average is 700 pounds and with pivot irrigation, 1,200 pounds per acre. Dryland yield in Texas averages 470 pounds; furrow jumps to 1,120pounds and center-pivot systems bump yield to 1,280 pounds per acre.
Smith said producers should weigh yield increases against total production costs when considering irrigation systems. She also recommends producers look at system efficiency. "Subsurface drip irrigation is the most water efficient system," she said. "Furrow irrigation is the least efficient."
Other factors also affect irrigation decisions, she said. Water availability will be a crucial issue as farmers determine if they can add irrigation. Availability also may affect the type and size of a system.
Energy sources and price also could influence irrigation decisions. As she pointed out, natural gas systems in Texas are cheaper than diesel in Georgia and electric-power is also less expensive in Georgia.
Labor availability could influence irrigation decisions. Furrow irrigation, for instance, is much more labor intensive than center pivots.
Cotton price will be a significant factor in investment decisions, she said. Financing availability, too, could play a role in system selection. Crop rotation also has a bearing on what kind of system may be the most appropriate.
Irrigation efficiency, especially as water resources become more limited, should be a high priority.
"Cotton farmers can use irrigation systems to increase yield and profit potential," Smith said.
Yield advantage ranges from 180 to 850 pounds per acre. Costs increase by $190 to $390 per acre.
To make the investment work, Smith said, farmers need to produce an additional 155 to 488 pounds per acre with cotton selling for 80 cents a pound. "Applying 12 to 18 acre-inches of irrigation may make a significant difference in net return."
Farmers also use irrigation to manage risk. "Irrigation may reduce yield variability but increase financial risk," Smith said.
Smith said farmers should check their own state Extension budgets to develop specific irrigation needs and costs.

Washington Wizards rookie Chris Singleton is thinking about spending $10,000 on lottery tickets.
"I'm about to drop 10000 on the lottery and cross my fingers #halfwaytoabillionaireifiwin," he tweeted Wednesday night.
If he actually goes through with it (how do you even buy $10,000 worth of lottery tickets?), he'll increase his chances of winning the jackpot from 1 in 176 million to 1 in 17,600.
But he could also win some of the lesser prizes and make some cash.
"Well If I get more than 10000 back then it was a smart investment.. Whatever happens I'm dedicated to making more money," he explained to a skeptical Twitter follower.
What is he going to do with his $540 million?
"If I get richer, I will change the world for the better #PROMISE," he tweeted.
It'd be hilarious if he won.

Pass the Spittoon, Mortgage Meltdown Edition
I confess: I get annoyed beyond measure when I read articles like this one from Alan Zibel and J.W. Elphinstone of the Associated Press, which ran in my local paper this week. It manufactures drama where none is warranted. Here's the hook:
Just when consumers and the U.S. economy need banks to lend more freely, the mortgage industry is making it harder to borrow — even for those with good credit.
Mortgage insurers, whose backing is required for borrowers who can't afford the traditional 20 percent down payment on a home, have already flagged nearly a quarter of the nation's ZIP codes where they refuse to insure some home loans.
I'm already annoyed in three ways, and it's just two sentences in:
- Consumers and the U.S. economy do NOT need banks to lend more freely. Banks lending too freely is what got us into the current mess.
- The traditional 20 percent down payment for a home exists in part because mortgages are nonrecourse loans--the property is the only security the lender has in the transaction. While some reductions of that number may be appropriate, it was the abandonment of sensible lending standards that got us into the current mess.
- The word "some" in the last sentence smuggles in quite a lot. If the meaning of "some" were made plain early in the article, we would stop reading and disregard the article as not worth our time.
We do find out what "some" means later on in the article:
In recent weeks, mortgage insurers have flagged more than 9,600 ZIP codes in at least 34 states where they won't insure certain types of home loans — those for investment properties or second homes, those with riskier adjustable-rate or interest-only mortgages, or for buyers making down payments of less than 3 percent.
"Some" home loans are now revealed to be loans that are extremely risky--loans whose pervasive use are what got us into the current mess--in areas where house prices are declining the most. So a shorter version of the article is that mortgage insurers are now not willing to insure loans that they shouldn't have been insuring earlier. That this is a good thing has completely escaped the notice of the two authors.

The Southington Police Department has made an arrest in relation to the December 3 robbery at Farmington Savings Bank.
Earlier this morning, Robert Armstrong, 35, of 22 Dunham Drive, Berlin, turned himself into police after learning of a warrant for his arrest. He was charged with third degree robbery and fifth degree larceny.
Bond was set at $100,000 with a scheduled court appearance at Bristol Superior Court this afternoon.
According to the arrest warrant, Armstrong entered the Farmington Savings Bank at 1 Center Street and demanded money. No weapon was shown or implied during the robbery.
An investigation led police to Armstrong, who was interviewed by police and later confessed to the robbery. He also confessed to bank robberies in Berlin and Bristol.
The Farmington Bank robbery was part of a rash of burglaries that occurred in early December. Another bank in Southington and the 7-11 on Queen Street were all hit within a 24-hour period.

There is little doubt that Hadoop adoption is growing, and not just among enterprise-sized organizations, but by small- and medium-sized businesses as well. In an effort to understand this maturing market more deeply, Pepperdata conducted a survey about how and why Hadoop is used for business operations.
The 134 survey respondents came from a range of experience, but all work at companies currently running Hadoop in production. The majority of respondents were from software engineering/development, data scientist, or data architect job titles (25 percent, 17 percent, and 12 percent, respectively). Almost half (40 percent) were from the information technology industry, with education and financial services (11 percent and 10 percent) coming in second and third. Over 45 percent have been in production for two years or more, with 15 percent of those being "advanced users" (four years or more in production).
In this slideshow, Pepperdata shares findings from the survey, such as key use cases, the size of Hadoop environments, and biggest challenges to production deployment.
