Your Eating Plan: It's never too late to get things right!
by tssfacts
It's never too late to get things right! I have preached this to my friends for years and years. So now I have decided that I need to practice what I preach.
Eating the right way
Don't ever stop
In the The Maker's Diet: Not a diet I told you a little about the eating plan that my doctor had put me on. I lost the majority of my weight on this plan. I can honestly say that I was never hungry. It seemed, at least for the first week or so, all I did was eat, no sooner than I got the kitchen cleaned it was time to eat again. Finally I got into the swing of things and managed my eating times with my work time and things began to fall into place. The last few years brought challenges to many people. I was also challenged with some issues. Some of the challenges I dealt with.
Lack of funds
I did the best with what I had.
I had to stop following the plan due to lack of funds to stay on the organic/natural foods. I did the best with what I had. I did gain some weight back but not too much. I have lost all but the last 14 pounds. I lost those extra pounds by juicing and cooking with Coconut Oil So here it is October 25, 2011 and I am ready to get back in the saddle and get this weight off of me once and forever more. This page will be a work in progress. I invite you to come and follow me as I work off these pounds and keep them off for good.
I am starting at Phase One and working my way through the four phases. I am going to start eating the food without the supplements till they arrive, should be in next few days. These supplements are NOT necessary to make the eating plan work. But these are what my doctor had put me on so I am following the instructions as he gave me.
Oceans 3 - Beyond Omega 3
Supplement number one
This product replaced the Garden of Life Cod Liver Oil that I had been taking. It wasn't that bad it had a natural mint flavor added to the oil and I took it daily. I have not tried Garden of Life Oceans 3 before so I am looking to see what it can do for me. It's contain OmegaXanthin. It's a ultra pure fish oil that supports the cardiovascular, brain and nervous systems. The fish oils are purified with a many stage molecular distillation process that removes environment toxins. It's a great source for Omega-3 fatty acids.

Garden of Life Oceans 3 Beyond Omega Softgels, Natural Strawberry, 60 ct (Pack of 2)Only $99.28 |
Garden of Life FucoThin
Supplement number two
This is the best stress reliever I have ever tried. Plus it helps with the unwanted fat cells. It contains proprietary concentration of fucoxanthin. When I was on it before my energy levels began to increase daily. I noticed a difference by the end of the first week. Not only could I see little fat handles disappear but I felt much better and my stress levels began to fade away. I can't wait to get back on this again.
This comes in 90 or 180 count bottles. Guess which one I am getting.

Vitamin Code 50 & Wiser Women's Multivitamin By Garden Of Life - 120 Capsules
Supplement number three
This replaces the living vitamins I was on before. I have not tried this yet. Since I am in my early 60's I do qualify for the 50+ and wiser categories. They also have a men's version of this supplement.
These vitamins consist of RAW Food-created Nutrients (TM). It supports Breast health, Heart health, Digestive health, Vision health, Memory health, and supposedly address stress and emotional issues too.

Coconut Oil - 32 Fl Oz
Not really a supplement
I have tried several brands of coconut oil. My favorite is still the Garden of Life brand. It seems to be "fresher" and has the most delightful light smell of coconut. I am still amazed that I just enjoy this oil so much. I can't stand to eat coconut at all. I use this oil for "frying", cooking, smoothies. Not only is it good for weight loss but also helps thyroid function.
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Here's the plan:
It's simple but will work?
- I am going to follow the plan to the "T". I have already either eaten, (after all I am still human) or gotten rid of the foods not allowed. I am going to use my journal from before so I won't have to be concerned with what to eat. I will just follow the meal plans that I used for the various weeks and phases. The reason I decided to do this is because I just moved and still am living among boxes. My focus is on getting unpacked and going back on this eating plan. This will make it easy for me to get started. Then I can start working out other meal plans as I get more settled.
- I am still going to continue to juice on a daily basis. One can never get enough veggies. My main concentration will be on the eating plan and not exercise per say. I will continue to do the daily living exercise like bending, stretching, that I get from cleaning and other activities like unpacking. As I progress then I will get a regular exercise program going. Again it won't be a gym membership or anything like that. I want to keep this simple. I lost the wt. before without any added exercise programs.
- I will be weighing every week but will only report my wt. loss here once a month. I will use my home scales as my measuring guide. What this means is that any other places that I may get weight like doctor's office etc. won't count. I want a consistent weight appropriate for this recording.
- I want to get closer to eight hours sleep that our bodies require and increase my water intake on a daily basis.
Here are the goals:
Can I do them?
- My first goal is to lose the extra 14 pounds that I haven't been able to shed up to now.
- My second goal is to get off the B/P meds that I am currently on. I just had my doctor's visit to renew these. I was placed back on my old meds at a lower dosage. I have been told in the past that if I lose another 20 pounds then I will be able to get off this medication. Will it take less or more? Stay tuned to find out.
My goal weight: ideal vs high school weight. All the way through high school and even into college I weight the same 150 pounds. Of course I am blessed with big bones so this weight didn't look too bad.
When I moved back to Florida in 85 my weight was 180 pounds. I looked really good at that weight too. When I unpack that picture I will put it on this page.
- My second weight goal will be 180 pounds: after losing the additional 14 pounds.
- My third weight goal will be my high school weight of 150 pounds.
- My last weight goal wil be my ideal weight. My idea weight is somewhere around 125 pounds. To be honest I don't ever remember weighing this but I know that I did at one point in my life.
What is your idea weight? Women's Ideal Wt Calualator and Men's Ideal Wt Calualator
How I looked at 150 pounds.
I really wasn't trying to make a face; but I was facing the sun. I was 28 years old in this picture. My weight was the same as high school. This picture was taking on a camping trip to the Grand Canyon. I am in front of the pop-up tent that we camped in all the way from Florida to California.
Do you think I can lose the 14 pounds in this first month?
I am aiming for less than 30 days.
Am I Bad
Or Just Bad Planning
I know that it's not the 25th yet; but with the Thanksgiving coming up, I wanted to go ahead and get this out. Next month I will give you a report during the week of Christmas. Starting in January I will be back on the 25th of every month reporting. I am not giving up; so keep coming back and checking up on me.
Well I lost 5.5 pounds in the first week and gained 4 pounds back. Total weight lost 1.4 pounds. So what went wrong? I would like to say that my friend tempted me, but that actually isn't true.
I did very well the first week, then the second week I realized that I didn't have a complete shopping list as I should have. More than that I still didn't have my kitchen stuff unpacked. I only had a few things unpacked which I used the first week; but who wants to repeat the same meal for four weeks in a row. I surely didn't. I did run out of few key items, but my food shopping was done and I just had to do with what I had. I did go out several times to eat, but honestly I didn't watch what I was eating although I did try to eat healthy. I was tempted with cookies and cupcakes and I was so frustrated I gave in and indulged.
Complete Failure
Or Good Results
My supplements arrived the second week of the month. I took them faithfully and only missed a couple times during the month. Even when I didn't eat really good I took those supplements. Here is what I noticed at the end of the month (well up to today). I didn't seem as stressed as before. When I looked at the boxes surrounding me, crying out for me to unpack them, I didn't freak out, but was calm and worked one box at a time. I didn't even freak out when I ate the cookies and cupcakes. My attitude afterwards was ok, so I indulged but I didn't indulge every meal. Once they were gone they were gone.
I noticed that my energy level was picking up a bit. This move was a very hard, stressful move for me. The way I was feeling I thought if I get unpacked sometime in 2012 I would be doing good. The more my energy increased the more boxes I was able to unpack. To date I only have a couple of kitchen boxes and lots of book boxes to unpack, and a few miscellaneous boxes to go. I will be unpacked before the month is out. Yippee!
I also noticed that my clothes fit me differently. I was losing inches. I wasn't so concerned about the inches before because I was focusing on my pound loss. I could see my little "love handles" shrinking.
The best part is that my blood pressure dropped 10 points. I recorded my BP during this month because I wanted to see what effects the supplements would have on the blood pressure, if any. Remember these, all but the fucothin, was new for me. They replaced the ones I was on before.
To sum it up, overall I stayed on the meal plan 3/4 of the month. The remaining 1/4 of the month I didn't eat the proper foods but did take my supplements. The stress is leaving my body. I am losing inches (fat). My blood pressure dropped 10 points. I will continue doing what I know to do.
Do I feel discouraged? Not on your life. I feel great and will do much better in the months to come.
What Am I Doing For Thanksgiving?
Eating of course
For Thanksgiving instead of cooking and having left overs I am ordering a meal (single portion) to go. No left overs to tempt me. Will I have pumpkin pie? You bet, but it will only be a piece and not a whole pie left over where I can get seconds.
December's Report
Have I been naughty or nice?
Tomorrow is Christmas 2011 and as I sit here reflecting on this past year I have many things to be thankful about. The first and foremost is that Christmas to me is all about celebrating the birth of my Lord and Savior. This will be my first Christmas without my Mom. Although she has been gone for ten months; I still miss hearing her voice and seeing her. But the good news is because of Christmas she is not only in my past but is in my future, along with my Dad.
This will be my last entry on my weight loss journal for 2011; there will be many more entries to come for 2012. The last month I have held my own. I didn't loose nor did I gain, yippee! I did have my yearly portion of eggnog along with other Christmas goodies. I did manage to indulge in moderation. Instead of having eggnog all through the month of December I only bought one container of this wonderful drink. It bought back many memories of Christmas's past. When I ate goodies I only ate or bought small portions and not several containers of the goodies. All in all I feel good about my weight journey so far. I still managed to loose more inches even though I didn't adhere to the eating plan exactly. My love-handles are shrinking! The one consist thing: regardless of what I ate I still kept those supplements coming. I saw continual lower B/P when I would take my B/P. My energy levels did come and go, more than likely it was due to my intake of sweets.
2012 will bring a full fledged effort to follow the eating plan. I am back on reaching my weight loss goals. Will I be able to mark off one or more of my goals next month? Come back and see the report on January 25, 2012.
January's Report
Loss or Gain?
My how times goes so fast, it was just New Years Day just a couple of days ago. I was still taking a "review" of 2011 few days after 2012 started. I ran across some paper work that had my weight on January 1st of 2011. I sat there staring at this piece of paper and looking at my December weigh in. (As mentioned before I did gain some weight and lost some weight over the Holidays but was able to maintain during that time and didn't gain anymore weight.) I sat there at my desk just shaking my head. My January 2011 and January 2012 weight was one pound different. I wanted to scream and cry but I didn't. I also noted that I lost and gained the same 10 pounds through the whole year of 2011.
Now for the good news. January 1, 2012 I weighed in at 270.5 pounds. That is three pounds more than I weighed when I started this weight-loss journey. My weigh in for this report is 263 pounds. From my January first weigh in, that is a loss of 7.5 pounds. I am on my way. How close will I come to meeting my first weight loss goal: loss of extra 14 pounds that I gained since I had stopped this eating plan? Check back next month and see. See you on February 25, 2012.
February's Report
Eating out: New learning curve and challenges
The last two weeks found me away from home during the meal hours. My planning was poor and I didn't take into consideration what eating out several times a week would do "TO" me. My places to eat weren't the best. I went by what was near me and how long it would take to fix the meal. In other words my thoughts were "from this point how long would it take for me to get some food"? I did good I didn't eat at any fast food places, but ate at "real" restaurants. The problem was the food choices. So once more I gain back weight I had already lost. This time it was 3 pounds, so I am back up to 266.
Blood Work
There is good news!
In February I had my yearly blood work done. This was my best ever. I have not been out of range in any of my blood work, but have been at the upper high normal range. This time I was at the lower range of all them. My cholesterol was in the lowermost range. My blood glucose had dropped 17 points landing me in the middle of normal range. I thank God everyday for allowing me to find this eating plan. I guess I could say that this plan is a result of answered prayer.
Next month I will to work on an "eating out" plan. I don't want to be caught off guard like I was this month. Every month I feel that I am getting back on track. My energy levels are increasing, I am still losing inches, now I want to see the pounds coming off too. See you next month for my March report.
March Report
A watched pot: does it boil or not?
March has been quite challenging in several ways. Because of my volunteering work I continued to eat out but did make better choices. I managed to lose and then would gain it back. Mid March I began to realize that I was "obsessing" about this weight-loss journey. Those that know me know that I am a very "serious" person. I have been most of my life and perhaps that is what helped me get through my nursing career. I have to learn how to turn that "seriousness" into a benefit and not a detriment for me. I have to learn to take care of myself like I took care of my patients. Is that an easy task? Sounds easy but in reality it's not. I have always cared for others and leaving myself to fend with what ever energy was left over: which wasn't very much. Part of this journey is to get me back into shape physically and learn to have fun along the way. I grant it that is a new concept for me. But I am just as determined to have fun as I am to get this weight off of me.
So I have come up with new goals and new strategy of losing this weight. One of my nursing instructors would always say, "The way you eat an elephant is one bite at a time". My parents taught me to break down large (big) projects into smaller projects, sounds like the same advice to me. My weight loss journey now has a new structure and I have already kicked it off these last few days remaining in March.
New Goals
Are They Realistic?
- lose 10 pounds each month
- bring in some fun exercise
- get back to juicing on a regular basis
- new reporting schedule
I realized that even though in my mind I was looking at each month's weight loss, I still was "seeing" the total amount that needed to be lost. Wrong focus. I was consistently looking at the elephant and not one bite at a time. I will now only be focusing on these 10 pounds and not the total amount that I need to lose. When I do this I will be 100 pounds lighter at the end of this year.
As a kid I never had a tricycle. Oh I wanted one so bad. My cousins had tricycle so every time we would go and visit them we took turns riding them all day long. Well, now I have a trike of my own. I think I look spiffy don't you? As a teenager I rode my bike every chance I had. So I am going to ride my trike every chance I can. I remember those fun days just of me and my bike. Will I have that experience again? You can count on it!
I haven't been keeping up with my juicing routine. I can really tell the difference when I don't. So I have set up a "drinking plan" for everyday. When I didjuice, it filled me up like a regular meal and disbursed energy till the next meal time. I will still eat the Maker's Diet food. I am hoping that on the days that I volunteer that the juicing will help me make even better food choices and not want to eat everything on the menu.
I will now be reporting my results every 60 days instead of every 30 days. I am hoping that this will help remove the "obsessing" of this weight loss and think on other things like having fun riding my trike. I will also be reporting on the last day of the month instead of the 25th. Besides that I don't want this page to be so long that people can't read and enjoy my journey with me.
There you have it. Starting weight 269 (3pounds gain from last report). Come back on May 31, 2012 to see how I did. See you then.
As with any change in your diet consult your physican first. The reports found on this page are my results. They are meant to be informative only. Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor work with her/him.
Tune in to see my progress. See you in 60 days
I do love that trike and you *look* like you are having fun! That's half the battle. Keep it up, I know you will do it. {{hugs}}
Hey, Girl - you look great! I love your new trike. Way to go and keep up the fight, you can do it and have loads of fun with it, too!
You are an inspiration, tssfacts. You've shared information that will be helpful for us all.
P.S. You're Grand Canyon picture is really beautiful!
I wish you too the best in reaching your goal. Thanks for sharing your journey to losing weight and eating healthy with us. When I reached 28, my weight started to increase. I have been eating the same amount of food when I was younger. I forgot that our metabolism slows down when we are older. These days, I do my best to exercise daily or walk for 30 minutes to an hour if I can't do my workout. Its not easy to lose those extra pounds and I'm sure you will reach your goal. Just stay focused and soon you will be there. More power to you!
I think you'll meet your goals. You have a good plan in place. I'll be rooting for you!
I wish you the very best in reaching your goal. I'm also trying a new diet plan. My goal is to lose a pound a week. I know myself and I'm trying to be realistic. So far I'm on target. My goal is to fit into clothes again that fit me last year .

On Wednesday, November 21, 2012, the developers of the LinkTV World News app for iPad, Darin Wilson and Chuck Musser, joined YouTube for a live online discussion and demo of the app in action. Watch the talk now:
How does technology and the Internet express Oneness? I was watching clips from the upcoming ONENESS: The Big Picture (premiering on May 9th) and Deepak said "The Internet is the emergence of something so powerful but we have not realized it's impact."
This feels very true and I think the proper respect is due. If I write an email or a blog from my heart, it seems to have much more of an impact...people respond in kind. It is like the actual energy of my intention comes through my writing, or more like it, this web of light that connects us. This is Oneness, is it not?
I recently went to a conference called Wisdom 2.0 Summit where they were exploring how we use technology to connect in ways that are beneficial to our well-being and useful to the world. I have to say that having lived and worked in both fields -- technology and spirituality (is this a field?...not sure what to call it, but I do work here...) I was prepared not to be impressed with the level of consciousness there, but I am happy to report that I was wrong. There are people at Google, Twitter, Facebook, Mashable and Zappos that seem to have a deep connection to their responsibility to the whole. I almost cried I was so relieved. I mean if you look at the Huffington Post, they have added a religion section and are dedicating themselves to supplying the world with great wisdom teachers and this is a mainstream political publication! They recently posted a story called "The Internet as a Living Symbol of Global Oneness" by Sufi teacher Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee. In this article he said, "I believe that the Internet is a gift we have been given. It provides an image of how the energy of life can flow freely in a way that defies the barriers of nationality and geography. Yet sadly because we are so immersed in the surface activity of this technology, in its tools of commerce and communication, we do not realize its deeper, symbolic dimension. A symbol is a connection to the sacred ground of our being which alone gives real meaning to our daily life."
I would love to hear Deepak comment on this.... I would love to hear how he honors this connectedness in his communications with life and community. I hope to ask this question on Mother's Day, May 9th when we host a live chat with him. I am certain mothers care about this issue because it is part of a larger issue. How do we live a life that honors life....
Every April, the city of Austin explodes into a rush of crowds dodging from tech event to film screening to music performance (to barbeque) as part of the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) festival. As Link TV's Director of New Media I occasionally have to make the personal sacrifice of braving the crowds to keep Link TV on top of the latest tech trends. This has paid off through the many partnerships that were created last year that are now a part of our new project ViewChange.org.
At Link we're often asked why not all of our programming is available online. It's because we are largely an acquisitions broadcaster, which means that instead of only creating original programming, we often license the best content available from other countries around the world. These documentary and film rights are usually sold piece by piece to cable, satellite, and online, as well as "territory" by territory. That last point is why, for instance, Hulu is not available outside the US, and the BBC iPlayer is not available in the US. The rights have been carved up and sold to different regions and different platforms.
Because SXSW is a unique combination of film and technology, several panels dealt with the topic of online distribution. Industry icons Mark Cuban (owner of HDNet, Magnolia Pictures, Landmark Cinemas and the Dallas Mavericks) and Avner Ronen (owner of Boxee, a free media center application which will soon have Link TV programming) are notorious for their outspokenness, and together are also known for a public spat they had last year, which continued throughout the session, with Cuban arguing for cable- and satellite-based on-demand services, which are profitable, and Ronen pushing for online distribution.
Hands up if you watch Hulu: Cuban and Ronen panel at SXSW | ||
Monday marked the public launch of AnyClip, a movie quote service which allows visitors to search for any scene from "any film" (caveat: they have indexed thousands of films, but not all films). After their successful private launch at TechCrunch last year, they were forced to reexamine the idea that they would be able to present actual video clips for their entire quote library online. This was an initial criticism I had for the site. The same rights restrictions that limit Link TV's site are in play for AnyClip, and until they can guarantee a certain dollar figure in revenue to the studios, they will have to rely on text-only quotes.
AnyClip's vice president of product and technology Nate Westheimer | |
Homing in on this feature could be lucrative for them, if they can partner with technology platforms like Blu-ray to provide quick search within films, or with other streaming services with larger libraries who would find the search tools useful. For instance, in another SXSW panel Peter Becker (Criterion) asked, "Why can't you type 'You know how to whistle don't you?' into Netflix and get the exact scene from To Have and Have Not?" If Netflix partnered with Anyclip, that could happen. But deeper than that, users can tag scenes with descriptions, for instance "Rocky training montage" or "When Harry Met Sally orgasm scene."
Deeper than that, you can also find, for instance, all the scenes from boxing movies that involve trainer-athlete relationships. That could be a great tool for discovery, or displaying related content. AnyClip probably wouldn't advocate this, but the potential for mash-up artists to create the ultimate, say, cross-movie training montage is fantastic. Now that there are multiple potential revenue models for AnyClip, they might find some more traction in the industry.
Read more about AnyClip at VentureBeat.
That's it for tech right now. Up next: Film.

New World Order: Global co-operation, nationalisation and state intervention – all in one day
Lindsay McIntosh, The Scotsman
October 9, 2008
IT WAS a day of desperate global action, unprecedented in both scale and cost, intended to stymie the international devastation being wrought by the financial crisis.
As the London stock market steeled itself to open again following days of vicious battering, Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, rose to stake the future of the country and the Cabinet on an audacious £500 billion banking bail-out.
And barely had the City begun to digest the hugely complex and unorthodox scheme when it was sent reeling again by an unscheduled interest rate cut — mirrored across the world — by the Monetary Policy Committee. It was the first such co-ordinated approach since the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001 — yet another indicator, had one been needed, of the gravity of the situation.
The half percentage point drop was immediately passed on to millions of borrowers, with leading high-street banks cutting their mortgages.
The government's scheme, a three-part plan which takes in short, medium and long-term measures, was welcomed by business leaders and analysts.
David Kern, adviser to the British Chamber of Commerce, said: "The government has taken a radical step, but it is one we welcome."
But there was concern a phenomenal amount of taxpayers' cash was being staked on a last-ditch measure that could fail. The Taxpayers' Alliance accused ministers of failing to address other options first.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) issued a fresh warning that Britain was on the brink of recession.
In its latest World Economic Outlook, it predicted the UK economy would contract by 0.1 per cent next year as growth across the developed countries slowed to almost zero.
The downturn will mean lost jobs, with unemployment forecast to rise from 5.4 per cent to 6 per cent, while public finances were said to be "considerably weaker" than in previous slowdowns. However, the IMF said it was expecting Britain to bounce back strongly in 2010.
The £500 billion plan includes the government taking shares of up to £50 billion in leading banks, increasing funds available to banks to £200 billion, and guaranteeing their debts when they lend to one another. The guarantees are likely to cost up to £250 billion.
The Prime Minister called the plans "bold and far-reaching", but admitted they would offer no quick fix.
Eight UK banks and building societies — including Royal Bank of Scotland, Halifax Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Lloyds TSB and Nationwide — have pledged to increase their capital by £25 billion but the government will pump in the funds if called upon. The Treasury also stands ready to make at least another £25 billion available, if necessary.
The Bank of England — alongside its interest rate cut — is taking emergency action to help ensure banks have enough cash to run their day-to-day activities. It has increased to £200 billion the size of its special liquidity scheme that lets banks swap risky assets for Treasury bonds.
The government is also making the further £250 billion available for banks to guarantee debt, but a fee will be charged.
Mr Brown moved to reassure taxpayers they would have the potential to "earn a proper return" from their investment. There would be "strings attached and conditions to be met" to protect taxpayer interests.
One key concern is whether there will be controls over the bonuses of the "fat cat" bank bosses. Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, said such issues would be dealt with case by case. Remuneration should be "based on responsibility, hard work, effort and enterprise", he said.
It had been claimed that RBS bosses, chief executive Sir Fred Goodwin and chairman Sir Tom McKillop, had offered to leave under a boardroom clear-out agreed with the government, but this was denied by the bank.
The announcement provided an initial boost to the FTSE 100 index of leading shares, and in particular to banking stocks, but this fell away later in the day. The FTSE closed at a loss of 5 per cent — its lowest close since 2004 — while banks failed to hold on to the huge gains of up to 60 per cent made earlier in the day.
When Mr Brown stood to address the House of Commons on the package, which could well determine how his premiership is judged, he was able to announce the interest rate cut.
Central banks across Europe, the US, Canada and China also reduced interest rates in an emergency move.
The banks hope to encourage nervous consumers and businesses to spend more freely again after widespread housing, credit and financial problems.
The cut — which was immediately passed on to more than five million homeowners — was cautiously welcomed by analysts and business leaders.
Miles Templeman, director-general of the Institute of Directors, said: "Before today's announcement, the financial system was in the deep freeze. After today, it might be in the fridge, but there is no guarantee. Nobody should be under any illusion that the financial system is now fixed. Our concern now is for the real economy and how much it will slow.
"There remains a real risk that the economic downturn under way will further undermine bank capital due to rising repossessions and bad debt."
Howard Archer, an economist, of Global Insight, said: "It's not the magic pill. We have a lot of difficult times ahead. But the first stage is stopping things getting worse, and the hope is this will help to stabilise the economy."
Martin Weale, director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, said that, for the UK, it was important that the move came alongside the £500 billion package.
He said: "The international banks concluded there is a major international banking crisis. Banks were collapsing in Europe, as well as the United States. I think they rather optimistically concluded a rate cut of this type can restore confidence."
Rate cuts were "a valuable piece on the side", but he added: "The key issue is for affected countries to do what Britain has done and show governments are prepared to inject equity capital into banks that look as though they need it.
"We will only be confident the worst is over when the US adopts a scheme like Britain."
And Louise Cuming, the head of mortgages at moneysupermarket.com, warned: "This is not a magic cure-all, and we won't see either the mortgage or the housing market bouncing back to where it was 18 months ago."
Following the announcements, Mr Brown spoke by phone to the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, and the Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, as well as the EC president, José Manuel Barroso.
The government is expected to hold up its plan as a potential model for the rest of Europe. The EU — which is concerned about competition implications of a scheme by Ireland to safeguard its deposits — later said it saw no problem with Britain's move.
Mr Darling is due to fly to Washington today to discuss global action on the crisis.

Carcinogens stimulate intrachromosomal homologous recombination at an endogenous locus in human diploid fibroblasts. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 9506887 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Mitotic recombination is believed to play an important role in the development of many cancers. An improved system has been developed to detect reversion of an intragenic DNA duplication, as a model for intrachromosomal homologous recombination. The 'LNtd' strain of human fibroblasts, derived from a Lesch-Nyhan donor, produces no detectable hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) activity due to a 13.7-kilobase-pair DNA insertion duplicating exons 2 and 3 of the HPRT locus. These cells are therefore sensitive to selection in HAT medium, against cells lacking functional HPRT enzyme. Clonal reversion to HAT resistance occurs spontaneously at 1-3 x 10(-5)/cell/generation, and can be induced by brief exposure to a variety of carcinogenic agents. Six known carcinogens, including two (diethylstilbestrol and nickel chloride) which were non-mutagenic in Salmonella by Ames HIS-reversion tests, showed dose-dependent induction of LNtd reversion by a maximum of 2.4- to > 11-fold over controls (each p < 0.01). In contrast, 5 non-carcinogenic agents, including two 'Ames-positive' chemicals, sodium azide and 8-hydroxyquinoline, evoked no more than a 1.7-fold increase in reversion (not significant). The molecular events associated with reversion to HAT-resistance were characterized, relative to the parental strain, in HATR clones derived from either untreated or carcinogen-treated cells. Both the intron-3:intron-1 junction situated between the duplicated HPRT segments in LNtd cells (amplified by polymerase chain reaction), and a restriction fragment corresponding to the duplicated HPRT DNA (assessed by Southern-blot hybridization), were lost from the majority of HATR revertant clones, whether they arose spontaneously or following exposure to Cr(VI) or ultraviolet light. These results imply that HATR reversion is induced in LNtd cells by carcinogenic treatments, through a mechanism consistent with homologous recombination, and is highly concordant with induction of in vivo carcinogenesis by the same agents. |

RE: 2013 Performance Review
Attached is your updated 2013 Elf Performance Review. For each indicator, you will find evidence documenting your current level of performance along with constructive feedback to guide your continued seasonal employment. For comparison sake and for formal personnel paperwork purposes, you can find official documentation of your 2012 level of performance here.
Punctuality: Exceeds Expectations
You arrived just in the nick of time, ready and waiting for Emily and Andrew upon their return from Aunt Windy's house. To date, you have moved in a timely fashion, moving efficiently and without reminder.
Surprise Factor: Meets Expectations
The kids were definitely surprised when they opened the pantry to find you coming out of their Cheerio box. This unexpected move created momentum and left Emily and Andrew asking where they would find Candy next.
Daredevilry: Exceeds Expectations
Attempting to wrap the ceiling fan in toilet paper and then hanging by just a thread of Charmin represents the type of daring the world has come to expect of elves on shelves.
Physical Prowess: Meets Expectations
Your ability to hang upside all day demonstrated physical strength and stamina, but the lack of props made the overall presentation somewhat underwhelming.
Kid Appeal: Exceeds Expectations
By far, the kids responded most enthusiastically to your bow escapades. Emily and Drew loved the "hair bows" and were quite disappointed to awake the following day and find that they were gone.
Resourcefulness: Exceeds Expectations
A good elf knows how to use what is on hand to create a memorable situation. Here, you located a long- forgotten toy and transformed it into Airforce North Pole. Not only did you surprise the kids, you re-energized their love of this toy. All day, Emily asked when she could take the plane and play with it.
Customer Focus: Exceeds Expectations
After squatting in their plane all day, you could have easily ditched it back in the toy room to be lost among the rubble. Instead, you left the plane in the most thoughtful spot-- right under the tree, waiting to be discovered. Emily thanks you.
Hygiene: Meets Expectations
All that traveling back and forth to the North Pole surely works up a sweat. Seeing you take a marshmallow bath showed an awareness of the importance of personal hygiene. However, your choice of bath material caused some less- than- hygienic behavior on the part of Emily and Drew who ate marshmallows, by the handfuls, from the sink.
Overall Performance Rating: Exceeds Expectations
Clearly, you have used the off- season to work on your elf skills and your tenacity has paid off. You are off to a stellar start this season, and with this type of sustained effort, we will be happy to extend your employment for years to come.

Gratitude Challenge: Last Day
I had all intentions of posting my final day of the 21 Day Gratitude Challenge on, most appropriately, Thanksgiving Day.
But, I think you'll understand why I was a bit preoccupied with other things--like living-- once you see the last prompt. As a matter of fact, I got so caught up in the living that here it is-- Saturday-- and I am just now putting some thoughts down.
Again, once you see the prompt, I think you'll understand.
Ready for it?
It's one that is going to stop you in your tracks. Or at least it should.
Day 21: If this were your last day, how would you spend it?
The older I get, the more I realize this question is way less hypothetical than it was when I was younger. Not because I see myself knocking on the door of the old folks' home, but more because I have seen way too many people leave this life too soon.
I've written before about the massive anxiety I faced after the Babies were born-- a crippling fear of leaving them too soon.
This post isn't meant to be a Debbie Downer as much as a reminder that life is fickle. We have to grab on and love like crazy.
Because, if you ask me, love is what endures.
So, if it was my last day, I'd surround myself with love...
- Warm bed and warm embraces
- Sun on my shoulders and sand on my feet
- Hugs and kisses and laughs with my children
- Time with my parents, my sister, my brother, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, cousins, friends...
- Laughs
- Macaroni and cheese
- Words-- love letters to my family to remind them how much I loved them and always will
- More hugs.
- More sun.
- More love.
This Thanksgiving I was blessed to have lived the day like it was my last.
We slept in and cuddled. While we weren't at the beach, we did enjoy the warmth of the sun on an otherwise cold day. I hugged and kissed my Babies (again and again). We spent the day at my Grandma's house with much (but not all) of our family. We laughed and reminisced. We ate (not macaroni and cheese), but many of my other favorite foods. I took a long nap, snuggled between Emily and Andrew. I kissed them all. Again. I said "I love you." Again. I watched TV with my aunt and my Grandma-- in no hurry to leave. I rode home with Marty and laughed and joked like we had all the time in the world.
Yes, if this were my last day, I'd like to use my time to love my family...
This year, I am not as organized, but I would still like to open my blog home to my family and friends. If you are interested in writing a guest post, please leave me a comment here (with your email address) or a comment on Facebook.
Here's what is most important-- you don't have to be a writer or have a blog to participate!
You just need to have something to share-- a story, a recipe, a craft idea, a love note to your family, a blessing, a photograph. Anything you love.

Gratitude Challenge: Part II
Day 11- What made you smile today?
I love when I come home and the kids are already home. I can hear them running around and giggling (and sometimes screaming, fighting). I get a little giddy with excitement as I think about seeing their faces and getting hugs. Today was one of those days. I smiled.
Day 12- What is the best mistake you have ever made?
My first marriage was definitely a mistake, and it definitely isn't one that I would repeat if I had to do all over again. That being said, it was the best mistake because it taught me some very valuable lessons, the least of which being: When someone shows you who they are, believe them. They sure as hell don't change. But, more importantly, the biggest lesson I learned was that I am way stronger and more resilient than I had given myself credit for before. That's a life lesson worthy of the mistake.
Day 13- Who inspires you to be your best self?
My children, obviously. As I watched Emily trying to imitate as I sang along with the radio this morning, I was reminded once again that they are always watching and trying to be just like us. That's an awesome, yet terrifying responsibility.
Day 14- When has nature taken your breath away?
This one is hard since I have been lucky enough to see some beautiful places, but for this ocean- loving girl, few sights are more breath-taking to me than the sun coming up or going down on the water. Here's a sunrise I snapped while we were on our wedding cruise.
Day 15- Who shaped your inner compass?
My family. At first I was going to say my parents, and no doubt, they were big factors. But, growing up, I spent time with both of my grandmothers. I shared and fought with siblings and cousins. I was spoiled by my aunts. Who I am, what I value, how I respond, it's in large part to the galvanizing force of family.
Day 16- What is your most cherished gift?
As a little girl, I was fascinated by this doll's head with pearl earrings that sat on the shelf at my Grandma Retha's house. Every time I visited, I had to check on the doll's head and make sure it was still there. I often told Grandma how I loved it, and she always told me she would make sure it was mine one day. Several Christmases ago, before Grandma's Alzheimer's got really bad, she surprised me with my most cherished gift ever-- the doll's head! (After doing a little research, the head is actually a vase, and these head vases were popular in the 40and 50s).
Of course, I loved the gift of the doll, but the note I found inside was just as priceless. Apparently, this piece had had my name on it for quite a few years.
Day 17- Who in your life are you under appreciating?
Marty. He takes the brunt of my frustrations, which have recently manifested themselves in the form of full- on adult tantrums. Can't find my keys? Marty's fault. Car ran out of gas? Marty's fault. Raining and cold? Marty's fault. Yet, through it all being his fault, he makes it possible for me to keep things relatively in balance. He pulls his weight, and I know I don't tell him enough.
Day 18- What skill do you value most in yourself?
I like to think that one of my skills is the ability to read a situation, to see and hear what's not being shown or said, and to respond in a way that takes in the big picture.
Day 19- What can you say "thank you" for in this moment?
It's cold outside. Really cold. And I have a nice, warm house, filled with food, clothing, and lots of creature comforts that I love but don't need. I am beyond blessed.
Day 20- What have you lost and learned from?
Since today is my birthday, I can say with all the seriousness in the world that I have lost my youth. Sure, I miss the body and the energy of my earlier years, but I wouldn't trade the wisdom of the years for the reckless innocence of my youth. Okay, maybe for a day (or ten)...But, then I'd take my 38 year old body back.

Gratitude Challenge: Part I
I personally am thankful to see other people being thankful--whether it's one month of the year or all 12.
Last year, as part of my 12 in 2012 series, I focused on having a gratitude attitude throughout the month of November, and while it was my favorite month of the year- long project, I decided to go a different direction for this year-- the 21 Day Gratitude Challenge by Kind Spring.
Each morning, I've enjoyed opening my email and finding the day's question, and even though I am just now getting around to writing about each question, I've appreciated the way the prompts have caused me to look at gratitude through a wider lens.
Here are Days 1-10.
Day 1- What do you have enough of?
Heaven reaching down to us
Your grace is enough for me
God I see your grace is enough
I'm covered in your love
Your grace is enough for me
For me"
Day 2- What do you know you can never repay?
God's gift of life and salvation
Day 3- What do you take for granted?
My job-- It's easy to complain about work, especially when the alarm clock goes off too early and the guilt kicks in when I have to pick the kids up late. But, I am really lucky to have job, especially when so many others don't. I am even luckier to have a job in a field I love and care about.
Day 4- What inconvenience are you grateful for?
One really hard part of being a work-outside-the- home mom is balancing work hours with getting two kids dressed and out of the house. Then there's pick-up, which is a delicate balance of leaving the office at just the right time, hitting all the lights just right time, and getting just the right break in traffic to make the left turn into their school parking lot. Some days I wish I could just make Marty do drop-off and pick-up; better yet, I wish I could just not work, and thereby avoid the daily rigamarole. But, in this inconvenience reside some blessings, too: time in the car to sing with the kids, the opportunity for them to go to a great school and learn, time for me to have some quiet time...
Day 5- What is your most precious memory?
Day 6- Which artist lights your world?
Eric Church.
Love him.
Day 7- How have you changed for the better?
There is no doubt that my children have taught me to be more patient, more understanding, more loving...
Day 8- What do you know that you never want to forget?
Day 9- What is the greatest compliment you have ever given/received?
Someone once called me a "wordsmith." One, anyone who has ever written knows how good this affirmation feels. Two, it came from someone I really respect.
Day 10- What's the best advice you ever received?
"Just keep moving." In the midst of a life crisis, I just wanted to curl into a ball and disappear. I cried in agony, wondering what I should do. The answer, "Just keep moving." And, so I did.
Tomorrow I will post 11-21. Interested in learning more about the challenge? Visit Kind Spring's website or their Facebook page.

It's All in How You Look at It
As I said yesterday on Facebook, just about the time I was turning into Scrooge, bah- humbugging about broken ornaments and tangled garland, Emily goes all Tiny Tim on me and says so innocently, "Oh, Mommy! The house looks so pretty!"
And, just like that, it was like I had been visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.
I remembered how much I have always loved Christmas decorations, which might explain why we have 4 trees. Don't ask.
I realized how much fun we were having despite the fact that my last two strands of lights were blown. I loved hearing them talking about the ornaments, following my lead about spacing them out, and exclaiming how much Santa was going to love the tree.
I considered how the years will change our traditions, and how one day, I'll be begging them to come home and help me with the tree.
Yes, it was one of those moments that snapped me back to reality...
Because despite the moments of frustration, these are beautiful days, filled with all those little moments that I just want to put in a bottle and keep.
I guess it's all in how you look at it.
One of the final pieces of our Christmas decor to go up is the set of Christmas Minnie and Mickey. If left to my own decorating vices, I'd put them together, side by side, like this:
And, so I did.
Shortly thereafter, Emily came down and yelled, "Why did you put Minnie there?? She goes under my name. Mickey should go under Andrew's!"
She moved each under their respective initial.
I couldn't argue with her reasoning...
I guess it's all in how you look at it.
Then, I came downstairs this morning to find Mickey moved.
That's when Marty informed me that Drew decided Mickey had to move.
According to Drew, Mickey was in the way.
"Santa Claus will knock him down when he comes down the chimney! He's big. Mickey's in the way."
I couldn't argue with his logic...
I guess it's all in how you look at it.

The Pirate Life
And, the story of our fall would not be complete without sharing our adventures with pirates, patches, and Halloween.
It was really quite easy.
The compass clearly pointed to only one logical choice: Jake and Izzy from Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
Pirates worked for lots of reasons.
1. Emily and Andrew enjoy pretending to be pirates, especially since their ship (literally) came in.
2. In August, we went to the Disney Pirates and Princess Tour, and they were able to wear their costumes to the show.
3. We were able to wear the outfits again to Krispy Kreme's Talk Like a Pirate Day. Full pirate attire earned each scalawag a dozen of hot glazed doughnuts.
4. We are going to Disney in December, and they will be able to wear their costumes again when we visit Magic Kingdom. If we count school dress up day, that means they will have worn these outfits at least 5 times. That's pretty good mileage out of Halloween costumes.
And, last but not least,
5. Living the pirate life for the last six months has made the adjustment to Drew's eye patch a little bit easier.
You may remember that back in May we learned that Drew is extremely farsighted in his right eye, and that condition has caused amblyopia (lazy eye).
I am sure you have seen him in his adorable glasses.
After consulting two different doctors, we feel confident in the diagnosis and the treatment plan—continued use of glasses AND patching.
For two hours a day, we patch Drew's good eye, which forces him to use the weaker one.
This patching will continue until his vision is no longer improving. We could be talking years before we reach the point of diminishing returns.
While I knew patching was a strong possibility, shiver me timbers, I cried like a blubbering landlubber when Marty sent me this picture following his last appointment.
And, then, I refocused, realized this wasn't Davy Jones' Locker, and set out to help my little lad make the adjustment.
I started by purchasing some smaller, more fashionable patches.
Each morning, we give him the choice of which patch to wear. The element of choice and the fact that the patches are a lot like stickers really helps.
While we began by doing the patches at night, at the recommendation of his preschool director, we started sending him in the patch and then they remove it by 10:00. That way, his patching is done early in the day, when he's not tired, and before we go anywhere, like hockey games, at night. I am anxious to talk this approach over with his teachers at our conference next week, but, from all accounts, the other kids don't make a big deal over it. As petty as it sounds, this is important to me since I don't want him to be treated any differently.
We have also enlisted the help of the pirate twin. If Emily is wearing a patch, then there's a good chance he will wear his. It never fails-- if one is doing it, there's a pretty good chance the other will fight to do the same thing.
Finally, I'll also admit there have been mornings when he just cries not to wear it, and I give in. We'll make it up later. The most important thing is, 99% of the time, he wears his glasses and his patch with no scowling and growling-- and that's good for any pirate, especially a three year old one!

That may be the answer for new hires. For current employees; the deal you make coming in is the deal you get going out. I'm amazed at previous comments I've read by private sector pensioners that got screwed and want the same thing to happen to public sector pensioners. And for some folks, any tax is an excessive tax.

Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Those sketch ups of how to break down the boards are exactly how I end the prep of every project I do. I don't want to buy one extra foot of a board that I don't need if I can help it.

Juan Mata views Sunday's return to a happy hunting ground as the perfect way to continue his charm offensive with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
The 25-year-old's long range strike settled last season's corresponding Premier League fixture at Carrow Road and Mata knows a repeat this weekend against the Canaries would underline he can play a big part in the Mourinho masterplan.
Mata has been brought back in from the cold in recent weeks after the demanding Portuguese boss publicly questioned whether the Spanish World Cup winner could adapt to his methods.
"I have to do this (to adapt). I try to do my best in every game and I think I'm doing that," said Mata. "I just have to do my best in training and in games. It's important to play with the ball and without the ball, but I'm very happy and looking forward to playing a lot of games throughout the season.
"I try to improve every season, my first and second seasons were fantastic but I want this one to be even better so I will try to improve, score goals, assist and do what I have to do. I'm not the kind of man that gets down. I always believe in myself and train really hard. This is my way to behave, to be positive as much as I can. I have really enjoyed playing for this club in the last two seasons. I know what I can give to the team and I'm just trying to do that."
Mata believes it is imperative Chelsea build on encouraging displays this week at Tottenham in the Premier League and Steaua Bucharest in the Champions League.
"I'm sure the best is still to come from the team," he told Chelsea's official site. "We have a good young squad and we have signed young players this season. We will get even better in the future. The last few games have been good and we are building momentum. I think it's normal that we needed time (to adapt to the new manager), but we are doing that. Now we have to keep going and take advantage of this latest victory, to keep winning."
Mata's Spanish compatriot Fernando Torres was suspended for Chelsea's trip to Norfolk after his red card in last weekend's London derby draw against Spurs, but the former Liverpool man now faces up to a month out after suffering a knee injury on Champions League duty in Romania.
"He was so unlucky. He played really well against Tottenham the other day," said Mata. "He started against Steaua and was trying to score again to show how good he is, but he got injured. I hope he gets well soon for me, for him and the team because I think he is going to be a very important player for us."
Mata was influential in the Blues' midweek 4-0 romp against Steaua which put them firmly back in contention for the knockout phase of a competition they won in 2012 following a surprise opening group defeat to Basel at Stamford Bridge.
"We have two games in a row against Schalke and we will try to win all six points," he said. "It's going to be difficult. They are top of the group right now, but if we do it we will be in a good position to qualify. We have qualification in our hands. We needed to make up for the last game and we did that. Now the story continues and we have to keep winning game after game and finish top."

Team Selection Trials Underway for Red Bull Youth America's Cup
The first phase of the Red Bull Youth America's Cup selection process is underway this week. Six teams of youth sailors are spending two-day sessions training under the tutelage of ORACLE TEAM USA with the hopes of earning a spot in the main event next September.
At the conclusion of the team selection trials, two teams will be chosen – one to represent the U.S. and one to represent San Francisco. Both will spend the next nine months training for the Red Bull Youth America's Cup finals, with coaching and guidance from ORACLE TEAM USA.
The sailors are ages 19-24 and hail from around the U.S., including several from the Bay Area. The crews are made up of collegiate All-Americans, youth World medalists and members of US Sailing's Development Team – all talented sailors with years of experience on a variety of boats…but none on an AC45.
"Before we even went sailing – in the shed, helping rig up the boat – you see it and realize it's just a boat," said Ian Andrewes, skipper for the American Youth Sailing Force. "We were definitely more timid doing the first bear away, the first gybe, the first tack, and then progressively got more aggressive. At the end of the day, you're still sailing. Sailing with the wing is different, but not as daunting as I thought it would be."
Held at the ORACLE TEAM USA base at Pier 80, the team selection trials include physical training and instruction. After an orientation, they step onboard an AC45 for the first time – the same class of wingsail catamarans sailed in the America's Cup World Series – and learn the workings of the boat before heading out on the Bay. ORACLE TEAM USA coaches Darren Bundock and Philippe Presti are guiding the process, and sailors Sam Newton, Kyle Langford and Rome Kirby are assisting both on-and-off the water.
"Overall, we're pleasantly surprised with the level of sailing," Bundock said. "In two days, we saw massive improvements with the first two teams. The advantage of having a pair of our guys on the boat with them is they can demonstrate how to do things right the first time, allowing the teams in two days to get close to a point that might have taken them six months.
"We weren't easy on them," Bundock continued. "We had them on a short course doing lots of maneuvers, which is tough. It's good to see how they react and handle things once they get behind and things start to escalate."
The teams are evaluated based on a variety of factors, including boat handling, trimming skills and crew communication.
"We're looking for teams with a lot of potential, with the ability to improve over the course of this program," Bundock said. "We also want teams that work well together. We're evaluating how the individuals are performing, but also looking at the decision-making process and how they're working together as a group."
Two teams have completed the trials process – American Youth Sailing Force and Ocius Racing. Teams remaining to complete the selection trials: Team America Racing, Team City Front, Winged Victory and Quest for the Cup.
The team selection trials conclude on November 20. Both teams selected advance directly to the Red Bull Youth America's Cup finals in September 2013, and both will be coached by ORACLE TEAM USA.
And, with only two days under their belts on an AC45, the first teams are ready for more and focused on how they earn those coveted spots.
"We were definitely nervous going in – this was farther than we ever expected to come," said Ian Liberty, skipper for Ocius Racing. "Fitness is our No. 1 priority moving forward. We knew going in to this we were going to be a small team, and doing the fitness test emphasized that fitness is going to be one of the biggest parts of this whole thing.
"We were all super stoked to be sailing the boats, and it was a lot of fun for everybody," Liberty said.

Reasons to Visit the Falkland Islands
If you go to the islands for the wildlife the chances are you will come back fascinated by the history. It is not all about the 1982 conflict and with the current changing face of the islands a new chapter is currently being written.
There are few places in the world where you can sit, alone, in a penguin colony with 1000's of birds and 95% of these spots have to be in the Falklands. If you are lucky you can see 5 species of penguins in one day in one place; Gentoo, Magellanic, rock hopper, king and macaroni.
Not only are they incredibly welcoming but they are so knowledgeable and aware of the environment in which they live. Being guided around an island by one of the three inhabitants is a pleasure in itself.
How many places have you been in the last ten years that still rely on 2-metre radio to contact anyone? Leave your mobile at home because, outside Stanley, it won't work.
There may well be a well earned reputation for barren and wind swept lands - but they are truly beautiful and virtually untouched by humans.
The islands teem with a massive array of wildlife, from tiny land birds that survive in pest free environments to enormous elephant seals and beautiful black browed albatross, not forgetting the flightless wasp that have evolved to cope with the wind.
Request a Brochure
South America
Our country specialists have travelled the length and breadth of the Falkland Islands - here are a few of their favourite things to do
Huge skies, the purest of fresh air, peace and tranquillity, warm hospitality, and penguins curiously inspecting your shoelaces, all parts of the experience of visiting these wild and rugged islands situated just one hour's flight off mainland South America.
Consisting of two main islands - East and West Falkland, as well as numerous outlying islands scattered close by in the South Atlantic seas, one of the main reasons to visit is for the outstanding wildlife viewing opportunities.
However, the fabulous bird and marine life is just part of the islands' charm. It is a wonderful destination for those with an interest in farming, the military history of the region, or if you wish to learn about the pioneer spirit of islander's ancestors, or for those who simply want to walk, draw, photograph or fish in glorious isolation.
A visit to the unique, starkly beautiful Falkland Islands is a rich, rewarding experience.
When the sun is shining, this is arguably the most beautiful of the islands, with rolling green hills contrasting with vibrant yellow gorse, white sand beaches and the pale blue sea.
The East Falkland area of Goose Green and Darwin has become synonymous with the 1982 conflict.
Home to King, Rockhopper and Magellanic penguins, plus the world's largest colony of black-browed albatross and many other varieties of sea bird, as well as sealions and dolphins frolicking in the shallows of the harbour, Saunders Island is a wildlife lovers' paradise.
The capital of the Falklands, with a population of 2000, is a charming place, consisting of just a few streets of colourful houses, a smattering of red phone boxes, a few lively pubs and a selection of the latest four wheel drives, all set on a gentle slope beside Stanley Harbour.
A bumpy three-hour journey by 4WD across rolling moors brings you to Volunteer Point, home to the world's largest accessible colony of king penguins.
Over 24 hours (Mount Pleasant via Madrid and Santiago) or 18 hours from Brize Norton, Oxfordshire
GMT-4 hours
The best time to travel.
A good time to travel, but there may be some factors to be aware of.
Travel is possible, but this is not the best time of year.
Travel is not recommended.
Snow or ski season.

Jordin Sparks to sing on opening night at US Open |
NEW YORK (AP) -- American Idol winner Jordin Sparks will headline the opening-night program Aug. 27 at the U.S. Open tennis tournament.
Sparks will perform a song from her upcoming movie, Sparkle, which includes the late Whitney Houston's final screen performance. Sparks also will sing the national anthem.
Houston appeared at the 1997 grand opening of Arthur Ashe Stadium, the main court at the U.S. Open, singing One Moment in Time.
Sparks won the TV singing competition American Idol as a teenager in 2007, then sang the national anthem at the Super Bowl the next year.
Her father, Phillippi Sparks, was a defensive back in the NFL.

Can Helpers Retry Spellcraft Magic Item Identification Checks?
So it is safe to assume that if you have more than one spellcaster its preferable to have all spellcaster try to identify the item instead of having other casters help the one with the most skill levels. Its better to have more chance of identifying it than slightly better chance to identify it. SO its best if you have 2 casters with spellcraft to each try and the one with the highest result will have better chance of identifying the item. |

Just be nice to the "health care reform protestors"
First he manhandled Pat Butchanan and left him sputtering...
Wednesday, Lawrence O'Donnell sat in for Chris Matthews on Hardball and had the privilege of interviewing a "health care reform protester" from Senator Arlen Specter's town hall meeting on Tuesday.
O'Donnell, who is an excellent host and really should have a regular time slot (dude is a keeper), was very nice to the "health care reform protestor".
At the town hall she complained specifically about the taxes she and her husband pay. When O'Donnell asked her about taxes, Katy admits that she has no idea, hubby handles all of the money.

Chris Matthews the fashionista
Chris Matthews, not only can he play Hardball, he also knows about trends in fashion. From the New York Times:
"Think of the Kennedys," Mr. Matthews said, when asked the impact on Washington if Obama wins. "A mixed administration. Pragmatic. Some liberal tendencies, not overwhelming. Very tough. Very smart. Thin ties — are you looking at this?"
He demonstrated on his own black silk tie, folding it in half. "Well-turned-out men. No sloppiness. Just work.
"It will be zesty," he added.

Mistress has provided a nice room for me, though I am disappointed that I won't be sleeping in her room. I understand earning the right to sleep with her in her bed, but she could have made me sleep on the floor beside her bed. Or even better chain me to the floor.
She is so petite and pretty. The thought of seeing a cane or crop in her delicate hands is very exciting. I was expecting someone way different, especially, when Master Gabriel told me that Mistress was forty years old. He said that she could wield a whip pretty darn good. Images of a masculine-looking woman popped into my head for some reason. When I saw her, I couldn't speak. I guess I was totally thrown off by her appearance. She wore, I guess you would call it, a business dress. Her hair is a pretty chocolate color and hangs to about her shoulders. When I was allowed to look at her full on, I got to see her pretty blue eyes. I expected her voice to be raspy, but it's so soft and gentle. Needless to say I'm pleasantly surprised by my new Mistress' appearance. It was a thrill to see she was totally different that what I expected. I know that sounds strange.
She laid out some rules, none of which were unreasonable. The one I liked the best was that she wanted us to talk openly at least once a week. During this time I could say whatever I wanted to her without fear of punishment. She wants to get to know me. To know what I want from this journey. I wasn't expecting that either.
This journal is her idea, and I think it's a good one. I just hope that I can be the submissive she needs. I already got a feeling she is the Mistress, I longed for, God, I hope I'm right about that. We have a year together. That is the contract we signed. One year to see if we are right for each other. I can't wait to find out if we are.

Beer, books, blues and bugs: 6 things to do this weekend
Give an editor a chance to alliterate and, trust me, she will have a hard time resisting. Happily for us here at ArtsPage HQ, this weekend provides a prime opportunity, because beer, books, blues and bugs are bustin' out all over the city.
This list contains six (boffo!) best bets for entertainment this weekend. But we know that at this time of year, there are many more. If you want to recommend something to other readers — whether it starts with a "B" or not — please do so on the comments thread.
Comments | More in List, Weekend preview | Topics: Aaron Neville, Benaroya Hall, Bug Blast
