About 123pizza
I'm Tabitha. I am me. I have faults and quirks. I'm a bit odd and am comfortable with who I am.
This blog chronicles the various stages of my life. I enjoy photography but in a quirky sort of way. I take pictures with my cell phone where I can easily edit them if they need editing and then upload the photos. It's a fairly quick process that fits in with my busy life. I have two toy dinosaurs that love to make appearances in my photos. I have more photos of the dinosaurs on my 123pizza facebook page. I admire others work of art and when I am unable to capture my mood or a thought then I search for a photo that does. Sometimes I display that work here (giving credit to the artist and photographer).

During the taping of CMT Artists Of The Year on Monday in Nashville, Jason Aldean was supposed to be singing his new #1 single "Tattoos On This Town" with Hank Williams Jr. After just singing one verse together, however, Hank Jr. walked out and they taped the performance as a solo with Jason and his band.
In an interview with HitFlix backstage at the Grammy Nominations Concert, Jason finally had the chance to respond to the incident:
"I think when it comes to Hank, the only thing that you can predict about Hank is that he's unpredictable," he says. "I'm still a huge fan. He's one of my idols, one of the guys that I grew up listening to. I'm a huge fan and, you know, it was a little weird, but it's Hank Jr., what are you going to say?"
Jason is up for three Grammys next year, including his first time being nominated for a Grammy in his career. The Georgia native is up for Best Country Album for "My Kinda Party," Best Country Solo Performance for "Dirt Road Anthem," and his duet with Kelly Clarkson on "Don't You Wanna Stay" earned him a nomination for Best Country Duo / Group Performance.

For Immediate Release: Wednesday, May 16, 2012
Reminder: Slow Down in Work Zones
Safety Tips for Driving in the Exit 23 to 24 Thruway Expansion Project
The New York State Thruway Authority and New York State Police Troop T remind motorists that speed and distractions jeopardize safety within work zones. During April, State Police Troop T wrote 545 tickets within the Exit 23 to 24 Thruway Expansion Project; 373 of these tickets were for speeding.
"Drivers are reminded to slow down, drive safely, and focus on the road while traveling through the Exit 23 to 24 Project," said Thruway Authority Executive Director Tom Madison. "They should be mindful of the construction restrictions, the 55 mph speed limit, and the brave dedicated workers present throughout this seven mile work zone."
"Motorists should always remain cautious, alert and cognizant of posted work zone speed limits," said New York State Police Troop T Commander Major Robert C. Meyers. "Ensuring safety is Troop T's number one priority, and we stress the importance of protecting both construction workers and motorists. The State Police will aggressively enforce all speed limit violations on the New York State Thruway."
Troop T will continue conducting several work zone speed enforcement campaigns throughout the summer. Motorists are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in work zones.
When driving through work zones, the Thruway recommends following these safety tips:
- Concrete barriers mean travel lanes are restricted, and slower speeds are required for safe passage
- Slow down, and always obey posted work zone speed limits
- Speeding is a major cause of work zone accidents
- Traffic fines are double in work zones
- Remain alert; be aware of construction and maintenance workers and the heavy equipment they use
- Do not tailgate. Allow ample space between you and the vehicle ahead
- Avoid changing lanes unless warranted
- Use only hands-free mobile devices
- Always buckle your seatbelt
- Be patient
- Expect delays, especially during peak travel times

On Friday, John posted the press release from Lambda Legal, which blasted OPM's decision to deny a federal judge's order to provide benefits to the wife of a lesbian employee in California. Today, Kerry Eleveld has more from the Director of Lambda Legal's Marriage Project, Jennifer Pizer. Clearly, OPM had an option to follow the judge's order, but chose to argue that the judge wasn't acting as a judge when he issued the ruling. Pizer was having none of that:
But Pizer, director of Lambda Legal's Marriage Project, roundly rejected that assertion since Kozinski is a sitting federal judge. "Is it possible for Judge Kozinski to be acting in some capacity other than as an Article III judge?" she questioned, "We think when he's sitting in an employee grievance procedure, he is an Article III judge, that's the only capacity he has."
That's just one problem with this issue, according to Lambda Legal's Pizer. The other concern strikes at the core of the Obama administration's legal argument, or lack thereof:
But Pizer was even more troubled by the fact that OPM chose to present its conclusion by issuing a public statement rather than actually countering Kozinski's rationale in a legal brief.
"They're stating their position via press statements," said Pizer. "If they have confidence in their analysis, they should do what people do in legal proceedings."
In the case, Kozinski argued for a separation of powers — saying that if the judiciary has the inherent power under the U.S. Constitution to regulate itself, then it has to be the case that employees of an executive branch agency (OPM in this case) do not have superior authority to dictate what goes on in the judicial branch.
"They've said they disagree but they've never deigned to explain why. They've never written that analysis," Pizer said of OPM, which took its cues in the case from the Department of Justice.
"What is the Obama administration's analysis for why the ninth circuit doesn't have the constitutional authority to regulate its own employee practices?"
What is the legal analysis. Perhaps the Department of Justice could get those DOMA lawyers to explain this. And, doesn't DOJ have an LGBT liaison?
What is clear is that this decision by the Obama administration wasn't made lightly. Given the sensitivity of LGBT related issues within Team Obama, all of the players, OPM, the Department of Justice and people in the White House, had to sign off on this decision. I thought the judge was handing the Obama administration a gift. OPM could have followed his order. And, OPM could have explained that this order came from a conservative Reagan appointee to show just how much this issue has changed.
But, that's not what happened.

Sterling man charged in fatal drunk driving case among 49 indicted by grand jury
Pierpaolo Verrone, 47, was indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter and driving under the influence in connection with the Aug. 15 incident.
Jeffrey A. Carter, 53, died from his injuries at Inova Loudoun's Lansdowne campus following the 10 p.m. incident, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.
Carter was hit by Verrone's 2010 Ford Explorer as he was attempting to cross Cascades Parkway, just south of Middlefield Drive in Sterling. Verrone stayed at the scene following the crash, deputies said.
Verrone faces a jury trial in March, according to court records.
Other indictments included Brian Joesph Philpot, 29, of Ashburn, who faces charges of malicious wounding and shooting, stabbing or wounding in the commission of a felony.
Philpot was arrested June 21 following a 5:33 a.m. domestic-related altercation in the 22900 block of Eversole Terrace.
The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said a man and woman were assaulted during the altercation with Philpot. The man suffered lacerations after being assaulted with a knife. Both victims were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Jonzel Maurice Bailey, 22, a former Sterling resident, was indicted on a bank robbery charge.
Loudoun deputies said on Jan. 2 Bailey went into the PNC Bank in the 100 block of Free Court in Sterling Park and demanded cash.
The four suspects said to be involved in a November home invasion in Purcellville were also indicted.
They include David C. Russell, Jr., 21, of Leesburg, John C. Barwis, 23, of Ashburn, Jordon L. Harwell, 29, of Sterling and Dean W. Ballard, 20, of Harrisonburg.
All were indicted on charges of street robbery with a gun, two counts of abduction with intent to extort money and two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
The robbery occurred Oct. 14 at an apartment in the 100 block of North 21st Street in Purcellville. At around 11:24 p.m., four men entered the apartment brandishing guns. The suspects assaulted one man in the home before taking cash and fleeing.
Other indictments included:
* Luis Alejandro Castilla, of Ashburn, who was indicted on two counts of forcible sodomy and two counts of aggravated sexual battery. Castilla faces a jury trial in December.
* Cody B. Donaldson, of Ashburn, who was indicted for assault and battery of a family member stemming from a May 21 incident.
* John Jurel Morris, of Brooklyn, N.Y., who is charged with two counts of unlawful injury to a law enforcement officer, grand larceny and destroying personal property following an April 19 incident. He's scheduled to plead guilty Oct. 20.

China warns Dalai Lama on ''reincarnation'' process
From K J M Varma
Beijing, Nov 12 (PTI) China today warned the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama not to interfere with the "reincarnation" process to select a successor after his death, saying the selection cannot be influenced by any group from outside the country.
"The top official of Tibet, Chen Quanguo, today warned the exiled Dalai Lama group not to interfere with living Buddhas'' reincarnation affairs, a tradition of Tibetan Buddhism that also concerns who will replace the current 14th Dalai Lama, 76, once he dies," state-run Xinhua news agency reported today.
The warning came as tensions prevailed in Tibetan populated areas like southern Sichuan province where nine Buddhist monks and two nuns have attempted to commit self immolations, demanding return of the Dalai Lama from his exile in India.
Another monk set himself on fire in Nepal two days ago against Chinese rule in Tibet.
The Xinhua report said China''s State Administration for Religious Affairs in 2007 issued regulations on reincarnation of Tibetan living Buddhas.
It stated that the selection must adhere to the principle of upholding the national unity and solidarity of all ethnic groups and that the selection process cannot be influenced by any group or individual from outside the country.
The reincarnation should respect the rituals and traditions of Tibetan Buddhism but reincarnated living Buddhas (Monks) are barred from retaining the old feudal theocratic powers, which have been abolished since Tibet''s democratic reforms half a century ago, according to the regulations, the report said.
The Dalai Lama, who fled Tibet following a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959, has been described by the Chinese leadership as "splititst" seeking to destroy the unity of the country.

A New Biopic Hails the Photographer's Revolutionary Week with Jean Shrimpton
Filmmaker John McKay reveals the painstaking efforts taken to recreate seminal shots from David Bailey's legendary 1962 trip to New York with Jean Shrimpton for his upcoming drama We'll Take Manhattan. The film explores the hedonistic love affair between the iconic photographer and Sixties supermodel during a seismic British Vogue fashion shoot. "She's a one-off," says Bailey of the precocious 19-year-old Shrimpton, who was almost completely unknown at the time. Eschewing orders from Fashion Editor Lady Clare Rendlesham to shoot mid-priced British clothes against Upper Manhattan's elegant landmarks, Bailey embraced his love of street life and bohemia to prowl the city's grittier environs armed with just one camera and an old teddy bear. The resultant cinéma vérité-style series captured the new liberated spirit of the decade and became the stuff of fashion legend when it was published as a 14-page editorial in the April 1962 edition of British Vogue. "The key thing with biographical material is to get away from the "birth to death" model," says McKay. "Luckily, Bailey and Jean's trip to New York provided an ideal vertical slice into their love affair, the dawn of the Sixties, fashion, photography, class conflict and sexual politics."
We'll Take Manhattan airs on BBC4 on 26th January and 11th February on Ovation in USA.

Williams and Patton and the folks of this corner of Oregon serve up a slice of "indie" that, if it doesn't reach the level of "inspires," at least feels timely and true.
Within the confines of this minimalist (with a microscopic m) picture, there are sequences so vital, timely and of-the-moment, so powerful and well-observed and precise, the effect can be emotionally overwhelming.
Wendy and Lucy is quiet, deliberate filmmaking. See it knowing you will witness an idiosyncratic take on storytelling by a fundamentally independent filmmaker.
This brilliant, desperately sad Steinbeckian fable from American director Kelly Reichardt. It's Reichardt's third full-length feature ('Old Joy' was in cinemas last year), but only her first masterpiece.
Deliberately paced -- slow, even -- it's nevertheless an amazing, timely parable for increasingly desperate times.
Wendy and Lucy is a short, sweet film with a premise as plain as they come: A girl and her dog drift into town.
The final scenes will tear your heart out, but perhaps not in the way you expect.
The film ends on a devastating farewell, but also imparts important empathy to Wendy: Although she's at the bottom of the barrel, there are those still inescapably trapped beneath its weight. This is the downbeat, dejected truth of pure pennilessness.
The pace of real life is the rhythm that drives Reichardt's beautifully minimalist film.
Kelly Reichardt spends the 75 minutes of Wendy and Lucy weaving an intimate, narrowly focused story of unanchored life on the road and just how tenuous such an existence is.
If Wendy and Lucy isn't the most dynamic movie around, at least its tone and approach are sure-footed and appropriate.
Wendy and Lucy gets under your nails, which is to say, it's the stuff of life.
Director co-writer Kelly Reichardt ... has fashioned a cautionary tale for the ages.
...an American Bicycle Thief, a simple, powerful film about the oppressive indignity of being poor in a wealthy country.
This is not a saccharine, Marley & Me-type tale, but a wrenchingly ordinary story, emotionally manipulative in its own way -- I know my heart was in my throat -- about poverty in the land of plenty.
A year from now it won't be a blip on my conscious mind. If someone mentions it to me, it'll register as 'oh, yeah, that depressing movie about the woman and her dog.'
[Williams] doesn't have to say much to convey the deep wells of hurt that Wendy's carrying around, and they're all the more poignant for remaining unspoken.
For thoughtful filmgoers, this is a very timely and affecting study of what happens as one by one social props are stripped away and ties are broken.
If you've ever lost a pet dog, or found yourself at the wrong end of an irreparably diminished bank account, Wendy And Lucy is the kind of film that will break your heart.
Kelly Reichardt's devastating little film has attracted a lot of admiration since its debut at Cannes last year, partly because of its timeliness.
The narrative has been pared to the bone, and that was a problem for me. We know nothing about Wendy, who she really is, why she left Indiana, what she hopes to do in Alaska -- apart from find a job.
The affecting, minimalist film Wendy and Lucy proves that small-town dramas aren't dead, but small towns, at least in the Mellencamp-idealist sense, are.
The performance ranks right behind Melissa Leo's amazing thespian turn in "Frozen River."

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS: STATEMENT OF COURSE DESIGN PROJECT: The students are first introduced to the theoretical aspects of the digital filter design problem. They then study well established techniques for designing such filters and are presented with a generic framework for analyzing the performance of these filters when implemented with finite numerical precision. In the design project, students are encouraged to explore new applications and are therefore given the opportunity to use their acquired knowledge to optimize digital filters to best meet certain specifications and/or to minimize a specific error criterion. In these design problems, the student typically must choose between a number of alternatives in order to achieve the best performance under a set of constraints (implementation cost, error criterion, magnitude distortion, phase distortion, quantization effects ?. etc.). These design tasks involve both theoretical derivations and computer simulations and in almost all cases, do not have a unique solution. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS: This class is a core graduate level course in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and is essential for students planning to pursue research in this area. The goal of this class is to provide an in- depth treatment of the topic of digital filter design. In specific, the first part of the course covers the theoretical aspects of the digital filter design problem whereas the second part addresses the implementation of these filters via numerically robust structures. A filter design project where students can experiment with the inherent filter design tradeoffs and pursue novel applications in data compression, communications and genomics to name a few, is a key component of this class. By the end of the term, we hope to provide a thorough and unified treatment of digital filters and their role in contemporary applications to the level where the student can engage in research in these areas.

What will you sacrifice in order to live your extraordinary passion?
The desire to live out one's passion always seems to come at a price. The stuff you'll have to give up is not just one but many things. Take a MD to-be for example, other than the sleepless nights and bulk of money he's throwing in just to complete the long and tedious road of education, he would have to endure the pressure coming from the society on various decisions he has to make in life.
Here is a young undergraduate at internship pondering about her passion. I am aspired to become a physician. Yesterday I stumbled upon an article,
10 things you need to give up to become a doctor
Maybe it's easier said than done but I feel like I'm ready to give them all up except for #6. This dream this passion has been the greatest source of motivation for a slacker like me to work hard in college.
What's your passion?
Is there a limit to how much you would sacrifice for it?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
greg dahlen 50+Aug 7 2013: well if it's your extraordinary passion, it shouldn't feel like a sacrifice, should it? If you feel like you're sacrificing, isn't that telling you your passion isn't as strong or satisfying as you tell yourself it is?
I haven't sacrificed anything to follow my passion, it's been quite pleasant.
Aug 16 2013: Well, again, yuzhou, if it feels like a sacrifice, maybe it's not your passsion? Curious, what are your motives for wanting to be a doctor, is it to help people, to make money, have prestige, invent a new cure?
My passion seems to be to interest people in milk. For the last five years, I've been living 95% on skim milk, every day I drink about two gallons of skim milk (like eight liters), and I eat maybe 5% other things. I started doing it because my eyes were bothering me and the eye doctors weren't doing that well solving it; so I started this diet, and it has really helped me. For one thing it's great for weight loss; and two, milk is easier for the body to handle because it is food in fluid form, it doesn't interfere with your body processes, or clog you up as much as solid food. I'm trying to get the nutrition and medical establishment to investigate this diet to see if it will help other people.
I also advocate for people having a few cows and producing some of their own milk. I myself don't do that because I don't have a wife, and I think it's very hard for a single man to own cows, for example, what if you are too tired at the end of the day to milk them, who milks them?
You might be interested, here is a chart that shows the different countries' milk use: http://chartsbin.com/view/1491. You can see Asia, which I guess includes your country, is low on milk use. I wonder why, someone told me it has to do with Buddhism.

Quite frankly, sir, you did say RP was bad. You said that anyone who RP's on a non RP server loses their right to complain about NON RP on an RP server. What the RP servers are for is CONCENTRATED RP. I can't handle that myself, my memory has taken a severe blow from a tragedy in my life, and I can't remember a backstory for the life of me. However, my everyday experiences in life in Azeroth, I do RP. I'm just the Silent one in the back corner. Oh, and my Mount does magically show up, otherwise, I'd be having conversations with him, and my pet. Not anyone else around.

("Communion of Saints" image by Ira Thomas)
Anon asked:
Back to the question of moderating posts in the Catholic community, do you have suggestions?
Hello anon: Yes, I do. I've been giving this thought. There is a group called the "Confraternity of Catholic Clergy" which I belong to, having groups in Australia, the United States, and England. It is not enough to be a Catholic priest to join. We all sign a common Mission Statement, or a statement of our values which are non-negotiable.
I believe that bloggers who wish to be listed as Catholic blogs in the Tumblr Catholic community should agree to a common Mission Statement of shared values also, from which you do not deviate if you wish to be considered listed in the Tumblr Catholic community.
"This is a Mission Statement I would propose:
1) I accept and promote the doctrine of faith and morals proposed by the Pope and the bishops in communion with him, even if these have not been taught as dogma but are part of the ordinary Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
2) If I am struggling with certain Catholic teachings, on my blog, I do so with deference to the Holy Father and the bishops in communion with him, and with respect to them as the final and sole authoritative voice for what is and is not Catholic teaching. Saying "the Church is wrong" is not deferential respect.
3) While respecting that Catholic doctrine unites us, I will also respect that applying the doctrine can take different forms pastorally. I will respectfully discuss these differences. While sarcasm or anger might enter a discussion, I will focus on the ideas and not the person. At no time will I address fellow Catholics bloggers with expletives, blasphemous, or vulgar expressions.
4) My mission is to love my fellow Tumblr Catholics, to build them up as a Communion of Saints, to form friendships and help to heal their wounds, to pray for them, to forgive them when they offend me, but to call them to accountability when they depart from our common mission.
5) With my fellow Catholics, I will encourage frequent confession, reception of Communion every Sunday, Eucharistic adoration, recitation of the rosary and all Marian devotions, the purity of body and soul, and will venerate and hold sacrosanct the memory of the saints and all their holy counsels. I will shun and keep from my blog whatever is blasphemous, sacrilegious, and pornographic."
I think these five points are what you find in most respectable Catholic forums on the internet and would be a good vision for us to embrace for the purpose of sowing unity in a divided Tumblr Catholic community. Those bloggers who accept this Mission Statement can reblog and state their personal acceptance of it. God bless, Fr. Angel
I tend to avoid the debates within the community here, but if you are going to proclaim to be a "Tumblr Catholic", or...

6Th Sense Superpipe
This is the same ski as the original trouble maker. I have the 09 version and is exactly the same, this ski loves to carve and owns jumping!! You can hold your own on the steep and icy with these, and the stiffnes in the nose allows for charging... the stiffness also helps when jumping but the softer tails make rails fun to ride. This ski is very thin by todays standards so powder is not the best , but it can still hold its own for the occaisional dip in the white stuff. One thing I love about this ski is the durability, I didn't look after them at all last season and they are holding up great now, bases are as good as the day i bought them and the edges not a bur. Topsheet however does show up scratches easly but does not effect the ski in anyway or form. My skiing type is mainly jumping(up to 60ft) and smaller cliffs(20ft max! as there is not soft stuff) around the local mountain. Hope this helped any questions feel free to ask.

Viewers of "Duck Dynasty" might be enjoying the new episode on Wednesday night. The Robertson family, including the new cast member Rebecca Robertson and cousin JD are introduced to America. According to Fox News on Wednesday, those fans who supported the Robertson family during the holidays will be tuning in to see what happens next.
Perhaps a few of those loyal fans will have "Duck Dynasty" tattoos too? Apparently one way that fans are offering support to the show is inking a face of the bearded reality stars on their skin. On Wednesday, a new tattoo of Jase Robertson surfaced online and it is one of dozens that tattoo shops have designed for fans.
Supporting reality stars by buying perfume, picking up an event t-shirt or getting a souvenir picture with the star at a meet and greet has always been popular, but the "Duck Dynasty" stars have found another place they will live forever with fans on the skin of the fans.
Are "Duck Dynasty" fans going too far by inking a face on their skin to show support? Well, that depends on who you ask, but one thing for sure is the loyalty to the Robertson family is permanent. And that sentiment is found with fans who have been to the tattoo parlor and those who have not.

Actually, the percentage at the end is the percentage of total group dps for which that person was responsible. If your total group dps was 10,000, and your dps was 2,000, then your percentage would be 20.
i love this feature of Recount as well. another feature i find helpful is the Damage Done tab since it shows how much actual damage each person is doing. 7k+ dps is great but if you have done less than 5% of the damage in a 10 man after 1 boss then there is clearly a problem.

All eyes on the rookie quarterbacks as the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to face the Washington Redskins

PLAYERS: Nick Foles, Andy Reid, Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy, Dwayne Harris, Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins
All eyes will be on Nick Foles come Sunday at FedEx Field. Photo via New York Daily News. We all know that football is a team sport and that to get a win, all phases of the game must come together to propel a group to victory. But come Sunday, it's going to be all about the quarterbacks. When the Philadelphia Eagles face the Washington Redskins at FedEx field on Sunday afternoon, the storylines and excitement overwhelmingly surround the two young quarterbacks who will lead their teams. The reasons for the QB focus are manifold. The playoff chances for both teams are grim, as Sunday's game represents a fight for the very bottom of the NFC East. That's not very fun. The Washington Redskins have found their franchise quarterback in Robert Griffin III. The hopes and dreams of a team who has been crap for years rides on the shoulders of this young man. Is he the piece that's been needed all along to start to turn things around for Skins? It certainly looks that way. As an added bit of in...

With the New Year upon us, millions of people are thinking hard about their New Year's resolutions, many of which will likely include ambitious nutrition and fitness goals. Given the increasing ease of measuring body composition and the known benefits of decreasing body fat percentage, it is no surprise that fitness professionals and consumers alike want to know how much body fat they should expect to lose. Unlike the well-researched and accepted guideline that an individual should lose no more than 1-2 pounds per week, body fat percentage loss is not as well studied and no official guidelines have been published. Still, most experts agree that a 1% loss per month is generally safe and doable. However, it is important to recognize that most methods of measuring body fat (such as calipers, bioelectrical impedance analysis, etc) are prone to measurement error and detection of small changes in body fat percentage is just as likely due to this error as it is an actual change in body fat. Thus, it's best to wait a couple of months to recheck body composition to see if you've made progress.
How can I decrease my body fat?
Weight loss alone won't necessarily lead to huge decreases in body fat since weight loss without exercise will lead to decreases in lean mass as well. If you really want to decrease your body fat percentage you've got to eat better, do cardiovascular exercise AND remember to do resistance training to build up your lean mass, otherwise about 25% of every pound you lose will come from lean, calorie-burning muscle. Assuming you do resistance training and all the weight you lose comes from fat, you can use the following handy formula to help you estimate approximately how much weight you'll need to lose in order to achieve your ideal body fat percentage-
**CAUTION: If you hate algebra, please disregard this formula and skip to next paragraph.
Desired body weight = Lean body weight/(1-desired body fat percentage)
Desired body weight = how much you will weigh when you achieve your desired body fat percentage.
Lean body weight = how many pounds of rock-hard, lean tissue you have right now (to know this you have to get your body composition measured. Basically, what is not fat is lean).
Desired body fat percentage = your goal body fat percentage (in decimal form).
For example, Angela weighs 120lbs and has 25% body fat (30lbs fat, 90lbs lean). Her goal is to have 20% body fat. How much weight will she need to lose (assuming all of the weight loss comes from fat)?
Desired body weight = 90/(1-.20) = 113lbs
So she would need to lose 7lbs to achieve her goal (120-113=7).
What is my ideal body fat percentage?
Remember that ideal body fat percentage is different for men compared to women, as women require a higher body fat percentage in order to maintain menstruation and the ability to have children (see chart). If you are curious to know what your body fat percentage is, check out the ACE website to find a fitness professional near you who can measure your body fat percentage, assess your official fitness, and get you on your way to a healthier, more fit you in 2010.

One of her grandmother's stews was a green bean and lamb dish called fassoulya, slow-cooked with cheap, bony cuts, and plenty of garlic, mint, and lemon. "Armenian food was peasant food," says Wise, 50, who grew up in Andover. Stews are thick enough to sop up with bread, but thin with meat, which was an expensive ingredient.

BruckmanYachts Review
Bruckmann Yachts manufactures custom and semi-custom motor and sailing yachts that evoke a classic appearance and, according to some, help fulfill modern-day desires for fuel-efficiency and planet friendliness. The Ontario-based company, established more than 40 years ago, operates from of a 25,000 square foot production facility outside of Toronto.
The Bruckmann name is often associated with quality and thoughtful detail and the company, according to its Web site, works with some of the original craftsmen from former Ohio-based C&C Yachts that owner Mark Bruckmann's father, Erich, helped to found. Among them is naval architect Mark Ellis, who was reportedly schooled in the classic traditions of recognized racing yacht and sloop designer Philip Rhodes and apprenticed by C. Raymond Hunt, credited with inventing the deep-V hull introduced with the Bertram 31.
The quality of Bruckmann motor yachts have been compared to the likes of well- known manufacturers such as Hinckley and Alden and Morris Yachts. And Bruckmann motor yachts themselves are often lauded for their Ellis's own take on deep-V hulls, where wide and progressively wide chine flats, or joints, reportedly enable the vessels to plane at low speeds. As a result, the yachts can use as little as 3 or so gallons of fuel per hour, according to cape-yachtsnews.com.
Bruckmann often relies often on Core-cell fiberglass for hulls and decks and vessels, including 30, 34 and 36 feet motor yachts, can be modified. Canadian brewer Arthur Labatt is said to have commissioned the Bruckmann 56 that's appointed with varnished beveled woodwork handcrafted by European carpenters and designed with forward bunk, aft master stateroom, central galley and spacious pantry housing washer-dryer and added refrigeration as well. The Bruckmann 56, powered by twin 660 caterpillars, has been described by Yachting magazine reviewer Dennis Caprio as "seakindly, agile at all speeds, quiet, and expertly done inside and out."
When it comes to motorsailers, Bruckmann and Ellis contend that they focus first on swift, balanced vessels that offer excellent speed under power and sail. The company's sailing vessels include a 42-foot daysailer and 42- and 50-foot custom sloops. Cruising World magazine called the daysailer an "elegant dayboat and overnighter in the classic style, designed for experiencing the pleasures of messing around in boats in a very classy way."
The Bruckmann 50 on the other hand offers a large, climate-controlled pilothouse with airy salon as well as an aft helm. This particular vessel, with 150-hp and optional 200-hp John Deere auxiliary diesel, is reportedly owned by sailors from the echelons of those experienced with vessels like the J 46 and Mason 44. The Bruckmann 50 is said to feature broad, flat hull sections aft and elements intended to provide for maneuverability, control and buoyancy. Sail Magazine noted that the Bruckmann 50's wide stern allows the vessel to efficiently pass through water under power, while easy to handle sails remain ready to hoist. And according to Bruckmann and Ellis, the motorsailer can reach speeds of 10 knots and easily cruise at 8.5 knots while sipping at the fuel.
New Bruckmann motor yachts and motorsailers, depending upon size and features, can cost more than $1 million. Used vessels from at least as far back as 2005 can start at around $400,000 to $500,000.
Featured Models
Power: Bruckmann 29.9 Bluestar; Bruckmann 34e; Bruckmann 36.6 Bluestar. Sail: Bruckmann 42 Daysailer; Bruckmann 42 Cruising Sloop; Bruckmann 50 MK II; Custom: Bruckmann 47 motorsailer; Bruckmann 56 motor yacht.
Bruckmann Yachts has a solid reputation in the maritime industry, producing vessels that have been likened to some of New England's best known "downeast" yachts. The company's motor yachts and motorsailers are said to also feature cost-saving "green" aspects for plying blue waters. Sailors who cruise the harbors and embark on weekend getaways might opt for the Bruckmann 42 Daysailer that's said to entertain as many as eight and comfortably sleep two in a private foredeck area. The Bruckmann 50, designed for bluewater sailing, is said to offer the avid sailor surprising wind speed while an airy salon affords trawler-like comfort. In the motor yacht arena, the Bruckmann 34e, considered ideal for cruising inland waterways and exploring hard to reach locales, features a private V-berth, galley and head with shower below-deck as well as a bridge deck dinette that can be sealed in inclement weather. The Bruckmann 56, with master stateroom aft separated from a forward V-berth by the galley, allows for taking on guests without feeling that more than two's a crowd.

on July 5, 2012 in Healthy Information, Recipes 4 Comments
Foods that are high in water content take up more room in the gut. This signals the body that you've had enough to eat and leaves less room for other foods. Many raw fruits and vegetables are chock-full of water and nutrients, but low in calories. Watermelon is a great example.
Watermelon contains vitamins A, C, B6, and potassium. It is fat-free, and high in energy. It also contains more lycopene than other fruits or vegetables, which may reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease.
- Watermelon makes an excellent finger food for kids, or to tag along in packed lunches.
- Try cutting it into cubes and putting them on skewers with some other melons for a fun afternoon snack full of vitamins.
- Cut watermelon wedges and store in containers for a grab-and-go breakfast on those busy mornings.
- Cut watermelon into small pieces and fill a popsicle mold. Whip greek yogurt to thin slightly and pour over to fill in the gaps. Freeze for a filling, high-fiber, high-protein and vitamin rich treat.
How do you like your watermelon? Leave your answer in the comments section below, I always like new ideas.

I'm trying to find info about two line kite bridles. Specifically, is there a formula to the lengths or where the knots are tied? I'd like to try my hand at building a foil kite but can't find anything outside of adjusting bridles. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks.
OK, I might take the approach of finding some resources that can help you with designing foils, with bridling info included.
The web seems to have a lot of out-of-date, incomplete or otherwise unusable info on foil kite design. Further down, I have listed some links you will definitely find interesting.
However, it really seems your best bet would be to get hold of this book by Jim Rowlands - Soft Kites and Windsocks. (Yep, the old-fashioned paper thing)
Apparently, the book is strong on step-by-step construction and also bridling, which is exactly what you are after. A small investment might help you get that foil happening fairly soon :-) Not to mention inspiration and info to help you go even further in foil kite design later on.
Now, here's the other stuff I found...
There's a guy in France who has published a lot of foil-design content. Here's his English home page...
http://foilivier.free.fr/uk/index.htm (email him if you like)
And his section on generating bridle info via CAD software is further down the page. Click to it via his nav bar on the left.
Some rather detailed and in-depth info on foil kite designing and making can be found at this kite surfing site...
Hope this all helps!

"Love the easy to understand step by step instructions, made from next to nothing materials and above all so much fun to fly... cheers Tim for sharing your well thought out pdf kite designs with the whole world.
Very satisfying making your own and watching them get air-born for the first time."
"I've just bought your super e-book and spent most of last night pouring through all the great stuff in it!
Very detailed and USEFUL information - thanks for such a great book."
years ago, I tried making a kite using the 'instructions' in a free
kite-safety booklet. What a disappointment for a young boy.
Your instructions and methods are wonderful. You help the builder to focus on accuracy, without making it hard. Also, you use materials that are durable, yet cheap!"

(HealthDay News) -- Stretching after exercise can help your body adjust to inactivity without pain or discomfort.
The American Council on Exercise offers these safe-stretching guidelines:
Don't stretch if muscles aren't warmed up.
Carefully stretch until there's light tension in the muscles, taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling.
Hold that position for 15-to-30 seconds, relax and repeat up to four times.
Stay still and don't bounce during stretching.
Don't push yourself to the point of pain; ease the stretch until it is comfortable.
Breathe normally as you stretch. Don't hold your breath.

Muslim Brotherhood Shill Poo Poo's CSIS Islamist Radicalization Report
Reaction to CSIS report on Canadian Islamists
Even so, the Council on American-Islamic Relations Canada takes a more measured view of the assessment.
"In terms of judging CSIS's conclusions or not, that's very difficult to do," said the council's executive director Ihsaan Gardee. "They're obviously operating with a lot more information than we are."
Gardee says studying radicalism is important, but he's worried the CSIS assessment could "lead to a general re-emphasizing of stereotypes and myths that people hold against people from a Muslim background."

Will we ever truly be able to model nature?
My Bioelectricity professor Nina Tandon recently gave a TED talk "Caring for engineered tissue" and I was amazed how we are able to copy the environment of artificially grown cells. There are many techniques used to reduce error and create accurate results. Such amazing replications allow us to grow artificial hearts and bones, enhancing research opportunities on these
parts of the body. This made me wonder how successful we are at modeling
other living systems, so I watched the TED talk "Robert Full on engineering and evolution." Many years ago, engineer's claimed bees shouldn't be able to fly, dolphins shouldn't be able to swim, and geckos shouldn't be able to climb from their calculations. However, in the past few years we've been able to explain these phenomenons, showing how much we have progressed. Through watching these great talks, I was curious: How close are we to modeling nature and making predictions without ideal assumptions? Will we ever be able to reach this point and truly copy nature?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Debra Smith 200+
Andrew TamMar 5 2012: Agreed. To me, a perfect model of nature would be one that evolves with time. In order to do this, we must be able to accurately predict evolutionary changes. Seeing that it has taken nature billions of years to get us where we are, I don't see how we would be able to mimic this evolution in models that we create.
Looking back from our vantage point, we might be able to reason why some developments happened; we can logic and think our way through them. However, what nature did was different; evolution seemed more or less like a "go with the flow" kind of process. There was no real thought process or brain power behind it, it just happened, maybe instinctively. I think this difference alone is enough to set us apart from nature - nature always seems to be one step ahead of us without thinking, while we think and struggle only to make less than perfect imitations of what nature has already provided.

LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan's nearly 1.8 million recipients of government food assistance are going to have to make do with less aid starting Friday.The reduction will be felt nationwide in November because extra benefits that were part of the federal stimulus program in 2009 are ending.The Michigan Department of Human Services says the average family of four on food stamps in the state will receive $36 less a month. The cash assistance is added to debit cards once a month, so some recipients will notice the decline earlier in November and others later in the month. DHS spokesman Dave Akerly says recipients can call 888-689-8914 to see exactly how much their assistance is declining, but they should wait until after their November benefits are loaded onto their cards.

No More Past Doctors?
Interestingly, the BBC have restricted use of former incarnations of the Doctor in IDW-published comic books, apparently citing actor-likeness issues…
Reported by io9.com in their article concerning Tony Lee's confirmation yesterday at the New York ComicCon that he is penning a new series of Doctor Who comics for IDW, this is an interesting stance to take from the BBC, and as yet it isn't clear exactly which actor's likeness has been called into questi
Meanwhile Tony Lee – the writer of IDW's Doctor Who: The Forgotten series – has given the BBC "a massive six thousand word pitch" covering the new comic book series as well as reasons against using existing companions:
If you do a new Martha story everybody knows how it ends [but w]ith new companions, you can do things people don't know.
…Tony Lee plans instead to pitch the Doctor into situations with existing famous historical characters, new villains, returning villains and at least one exciting new companion for the series currently set for a July launch.

text: The Rocket Queens Info Country: United States History: 2010 – Present Status: Active Style: Hard Rock/Tribute to Guns N' Roses Biography The Rocket Queens are a Brooklyn-based, all-female tribute to Guns N' Roses founded by 2010 Shred For Your Life champion and session guitarist Lily Maase. Unlike many all-female cover bands, the Rocket Queens have the chops and the stage presence necessary to kick out a faithful recreation of the musical prowess and onstage chemistry of the band's original lineup, complete with stage antics, attitude, and note-for-note riffs, vocals and guitar solos. Witnessing the Rocket Queens live is the closest thing a modern audience can get to seeing hard rock's heaviest hitters as they were in their prime: seasoned musicians dripping with sweat, swagger, and way too much style for their own good. If, of course, the original GnR lineup had shopped at Victoria's Secret and worn 6-inch heels.

Luxinia v 0.94 lua-scriptable OpenGL API-based 3D game engine enhances shader support
Aug 28, 2006
Luxinia is a 3D engine written in C that uses the OpenGL API, Lua, GLFW and OpenAL. The new v0.94 adds improvements in stencil-shadows and shader system to allow more control of effects. The texture combiners can also be manually set for shaders on older generation-cards (ARB_texture_env_combine and related). The sky rendering demo makes heavy use of this feature to draw dynamic skies well even on older hardware. Luxinia is free for non-commercial use and comes with all documentation material and sources of the samples.
