I've got a 2001 Mountain Cycle San Andreas with what I believe is the stock Aftershock (not sure, as I bought it used and there are no stickers). I weigh 81kg (13 stone or 190 lbs). The shock is too soft and keeps bottoming out on not even very big jumps even with the spring wound all the way down. There are no marks on the spring to tell me what rating it is, but it is too soft. Can anyone tell me how I can work out what rating it is so I know what I need to get, and also what size do I need anyway? e.g. do I need a 650 X 2.8 or what? I have no idea.
Even if I beef up the spring will I then find out the oil's too thin?
Thanks for any help.

Science and Theology: Questioning the "Two-State Solution"
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
A Biologist's Perspective
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Responses to David Barash on God and Evolution in the Classroom
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
Big Picture or Big Gaps? Why Natural Theology is better than Intelligent Design
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?
New Creation: The Hermeneutic of Love
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.
Christ, Trinity, and Creation, Part 2
Christ is the reason the natural sciences work: he is the source of the laws of nature, and he contains and underpins the natural sciences. Christ is the pattern for all created things, while the Spirit – his presence in the created world – breathes the divine fire into the equations.
Still Surprised by Easter
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Interpreting Adam: Introduction
Four Views on the Historical Adam shows that evangelical Christians are far from agreeing on the particulars of Adam and Eve. But this book also makes clear that there is strong agreement among evangelical Christians on the fundamentals of the Christian faith. We agree that all Scripture is inspired by God and authoritative, even while disagreeing on the interpretation of some passages.
Creation Out of Nothing
The key point of continuity between redemption and creation is the idea that the future can be different from the past, i.e., the key is eschatology. More abstractly put, God does new things.
The Challenge of Cosmology
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Are We Genetically Predisposed to Believe in God?
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Series: Searching for Motivated Belief (12 entries)
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis (4 entries)
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling (3 entries)
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.

Background Checks For Pressure Cooker Purchases Because of The Boston BombingSubmitted by MikeFWT210 on Mon, 04/29/2013 - 07:16
Mark Dice trolls Cali again. This time he is getting signatures to require background checks on Muslims, when purchasing pressure cookers.

This is an article from the local university here..they are definitely going to try to ban them as insane as that would be
The suspicious items include clear crystal pellets, propane canisters, assorted powders, vermiculite -- a fertilizer, an unknown liquid, and a non-active pressure cooker found in the trunk of a car.
"We were concerned about these items, when they were found we evacuated the building where these items were found, it was Building B," added Smith

How many will sign it?

Is that bomb graphic deliberately a cute robot? I smell a tongue-in-cheek conspiracy.
We should at least ban pressure cookers which go over 15 PSI. No civilian needs that kind of dangerous cooking and canning power.

Les derniŤres nouvelles, ci-dessous, sur les jours fťriťs et fÍtes lťgales pour France, sont en Anglais. Si vous avez la moindre question sur ces commentaires, n'hťsitez pas ŗ nous contacter. • 15 Sep 2014 (Le Figaro-Paris) France's main employers' union (MEDEF), in a document widely believed to have been leaked by the current ruling socialist party ahead of tomorrow's vote of confidence, has proposed that 2 of France's public holidays be dropped.
• 22 Feb 2013 (Le Figaro-Paris) France's Constitutional Court (le Conseil Constitutionnel) has rejected an attempt by the ruling Socialist Party to abrogate the "Concordat" which affords 2 additional non-working public holidays to 3 of France's administrative departments (Alsace and Moselle).
• 29 Jun 2012 (L'usine nouvelle-Paris) France's association of Human Resources Managers (ANDRH) has proposed the cancellation of 3 of France's annual Christian public holidays in an effort to promote diversity in the workplace.
• 20 Feb 2012 (Le Figaro-Paris) France's National Assembly have overwhelmingly voted to approve a law which would amend the November 11 annual Armistice non-working public holiday into a public holiday commemorating France's dead in all past conflicts.
• 12 Jan 2012 (TF1 News-Paris) French EELV presidential candidate, Eva Joly, has promised to declare Yom Kippur and the Feast of Sacrifice as non-working public holidays in France if she is elected President of France on May 6, 2012.
• 05 Apr 2011 (Le Figaro-Paris) The French government is reportedly considering the conversion of another public holiday into a working public holiday to finance long-term dependency of the elderly population.
• 10 Nov 2008 (AFP-Paris) It has been reported that, following the lead of Luxembourg's Prime Minister, France's European Affairs secrťtaire d'Etat, Jean-Pierre Jouyet, is about to propose that the May 8 public holiday commemorating the end of World War II be replaced by May 9, the Day of Europe.
• 12 May 2008 (AFP + Le Figaro) France's Prime Minister, FranÁois Fillon, recently indicated that Parliament would consider making May 9th an annual public holiday in France (most likely replacing the current May 8th public holiday).
• 24 Mar 2008 (EJP-European Jewish Press) The Jewish festival of Shavuot has been added to the Journal Officiel (the government's gazette). This does not mean that Shavuot festival will become a general public holiday in France, but as the festival falls in May or June annually (at the time of school final exams) Jewish students will now be allowed to take exams at different dates.
• 29 Jan 2008 (Agence France Presse + La Tribune) Labour Minister, Xavier Bertrand, confirmed that Whit Monday would be restored as a fully national public holiday in France, starting this year, in 2008.

Les commentaires de ce paragraphe, sur les jours fťriťs et fÍtes lťgales pour France, sont en Anglais. Si vous avez la moindre question sur ces commentaires, n'hťsitez pas ŗ nous contacter. • Governing Law: Official public holidays in France are regulated by Article L222-1 du Code du travail (Labour Code).
• Weekend Public Holidays: Public holidays that occur on a weekend remain on that date (ie. they are not moved to another date, such as the following Monday, for example).
• Regional Public Holidays: Public holidays are uniform across the national territory of France, with the exception of Alsace-Moselle, which was granted 2 extra public holidays, in 1892, when it was part of Germany. These 2 extra public holidays were retained when the region was given back to France at the end of World War One. Note that Alsace-Moselle includes the city of Strasbourg, the seat of the European Parliament.
• Sunday Opening Hours: In France, a law dating from 1906 allows textile and fresh food stores to ask the local governments for permission to open on 5 Sundays during the year. Usually these requests are made when a major holiday, such as Christmas or New Year falls on a Monday, and hence the corresponding eve falls on a Sunday. Note however, that permissions, even within the 5 Sundays a year limit, are not automatic, and in fact some municipalities systematically refuse to grant such derogations to preserve the family life of employees of large supermarkets.
• Whit Monday was no longer recognized as one of the public holidays as of 2005, to help fund health care for elderly persons following the high number of elderly deaths during the heat wave of the summer of 2003. However, it returned to the list of French public holidays starting in 2008.
• May 8 was established as a public holiday in 1951, then cancelled in 1961 as a gesture of reconcilliation, and reestablished in 1981 by then President Mitterand under pressure from the communist party with whom he was in a coalition government.
• National Holiday is based on the FÍte de la Fťdťration, of 14 July (1790). Although it is often incorrectly referred to as Bastille Day, the celebration actually commemorates the holiday held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille (on 14 July 1789) and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy; other names for the holiday are FÍte Nationale (National Holiday) and quatorze juillet (14th of July ).
• Finally, although not a public holiday, no page on France would be complete without mentioning the 3rd Thursday of November as the date when the Beaujolais Nouveau is launched every year .

This is the best season for seeing some of Britain's biggest spiders, says the RSPB.
Most of our large orb weavers like the garden spider become adult in late summer so are at their biggest right now, with larger and more obvious webs. With Hallowe'en on the way it couldn't be a better time to get out in gardens or parks to see them.
It's estimated that there are more than half a million spiders for every person in Britain - that's four million hairy legs for each of us - and warmer, drier parts of the country like the south east of England have a larger proportion of the biggest spiders.
RSPB spider expert Ian Dawson says; 'As a general rule of thumb, the parts of Britain that have a drier and warmer climate are more favourable for bigger spiders, but there are more than 650 species of spider in Britain and they vary considerably in size.
'Spiders are one of the few kinds of wildlife that we can get close to without even stepping outside, in fact an average-sized house probably supports around 100 spiders at any one time. They are wonderfully efficient predators - between them British spiders eat around 700,000 tonnes of invertebrates every year, which is a colossal amount of food. They're definitely to be encouraged and admired rather than feared'
This week has been particularly good for web spotting, as the foggy, misty weather in many parts of the country has left water droplets on webs, making them more visible.
Spiders are among the creatures that will feature in family-friendly events at RSPB nature reserves across the UK this half term as part of Hallowe'en activities. The RSPB is looking to inspire young people and help to tackle the growing problem of children's disconnection to nature. It is asking families to find out just how connected to nature they are by taking part in a survey at www.rspb.org.uk/getoutdoors

McPhee presented Iriarte-Gross with the President's Silver Column Award Feb. 4 in a small ceremony inside her office in Wiser-Patten Science Hall. She becomes the fifth recipient of the honor since he implemented the award in 2004.
"This validates the hard work all of us have been doing," Iriarte-Gross said, discussing what the award means to her and mentioning the many volunteers who assist every year with events that girls can attend or workshops that adults participate in that can lead girls to choose a science, technology, engineering or mathematics — or STEM — career to pursue.
"We have to have girls in STEM education today for the STEM work force of tomorrow," Iriarte-Gross added. "Girls want to see role models who look like them, are from the same town and are in STEM. They see these role models being successful and happy in their STEM careers."
McPhee praised Iriarte-Gross, who is an MTSU chemistry professor, director of the MTSU Women in STEM Center and director of the annual Expanding Your Horizons conferences and Girls Raised in Tennessee Science (GRITS) workshops that bring STEM awareness to girls.
"It is designed to recognize employees who go above and beyond the call of duty, extraordinary individuals who really show their commitment to the university," McPhee said in making the presentation of the silver pin with MTSU blue inlays, representing the shape of the Kirksey Old Main building columns.
He said Iriarte-Gross does this through her "caring for students and doing those things that really reach beyond what the expectations are. You certainly exhibit every characteristic associated with being an outstanding faculty member, an outstanding person."
McPhee said he has watched Iriarte-Gross' commitment through the years, "not only the GRITS program, but the attention you've paid to your students, the quality teaching … and you don't expect anything in return for it, you don't expect any kind of recognition."
"You've changed a lot of lives," he said to her, adding that she serves as a
"role model for faculty when it comes to caring for, teaching, retention, graduation — you open up the dictionary, and your picture is there under those categories."
"Judith has championed the cause of making science more interesting and vital to young girls and, in doing so, has changed lives for the better across the nation," said MTSU Provost Brad Bartel. "She is an inspiration to her peers and students and her scholarship and service has bolstered our university."
First-year College of Basic and Applied Sciences Dean Bud Fischer said Iriarte-Gross "is a tireless worker with a real passion for the cause of increasing women in the STEM disciplines. Through her numerous activities she leads or is involved with, she has been able to touch the lives of a large number of young girls and women and have fueled their love of science."
Previous recipients include:
• Sherian Huddleston, former associate vice provost for enrollment services and now retired;
• Larry Sizemore, supervisor of ground services;
• Suma Clark, former director of publications and graphics (now Creative and Visual Services) who retired, but serves as a web management team project coordinator in a part-time capacity for the university; and
• the late Dr. Charles Wolfe, who was a distinguished folklorist, author and English professor.
"Wow, I'm honored to be in the company of such notable past recipients," Iriarte-Gross said.
Iriarte-Gross is coordinating this week's GRITS Collaborative Project Annual Conference. It runs today through Friday, Feb. 8, in the Tom H. Jackson Building.

Can McDonald's and other fast food outlets help reverse the nation's obesity epidemic? Are Michael Pollan and other proponents of "natural" unprocessed foods creating barriers to developing healthier eating habits? This is the thesis of a controversial article in the summer issue of The Atlantic.
Contributing editor, David Freedman argues that advocating of fresh, unprocessed, local foods as a response to the obesity epidemic is unrealistic and elitist. It's unlikely that the 160,000 fast food outlets serving 50 million Americans each day are going to be replaced by organic food stands and wholesome food restaurants.
The wholesome foods offered as a solution to the obesity epidemic are too expensive for the majority of the obese population (Whole Foods Market, a leading purveyor of healthy fare, is sometimes referred to as "Whole Paycheck Market.")
Even if local, organically grown, vegetables, fruit, legumes, fish, etc. were inexpensive and widely available, what percentage of the obese, Big Mac-loving population would be willing to substitute broccoli for French fries? Despite ongoing efforts to encourage eating fruits and vegetables the Centers for Disease Control found a drop in fruit consumption and no increase in vegetable purchases in the last decade. Likewise, posting caloric contents on fast food menus has had little effect on food choice.

Together with the sale of the majority of the assets of Heart Hospital of New Mexico also announced today, MedCath has completed nine transactions since announcing in March 2010 it had formed a Strategic Options Committee to consider the sale either of the entire company or its assets. Since October, MedCath has announced the completion of sales involving the following four hospitals: Arizona Heart Hospital, Avera Heart Hospital of South Dakota, Heart Hospital of Austin and TexSan Heart Hospital. In addition, MedCath's Partners division sold its minority interest it held in Southwest Arizona Heart and Vascular, LLC in November, and in May, it completed the sale of its ownership interest and management agreement in Coastal Carolina Heart, as well as the sale of the majority of its assets to DLP Healthcare, a joint venture of LifePoint Hospitals and Duke University Health System.
For 14 years, MedCath worked closely with the Arkansas Heart Hospital's physician leadership, expanding the number of beds by 33 percent and helping the hospital earn several honors. Those include a Health Grades 2011 Outstanding Patient Experience Award, and two awards from the Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care in 2005, one for Hospital Quality Achievement and one for Innovation in Healthcare. In addition, a USA Today analysis of Medicare data in 2009 showed that Arkansas Heart Hospital was one of the state's top-performers, with the lowest death rate from heart attacks of any hospital in the state.

To make a loooonnnnnnggg story short, I have a client who wants me to make her a cake for sometime in May. I have told her she will need to pay in advance in order to reserve her date, and she is fine with this. So, she was supposed to come last Friday, and did not show up, no call or email or anything. She emailed me later on that night, saying she had to take her son to the hospital b/c he was sick and that's why she didn't come. Whether I believe her is a completely different story, as I have baked for her before and she showed up 2 hours late, no call or email, and claimed she was at a funeral. Anyways, she sent me about 3 emails on the weekend, wanting to come and drop off payment. I told her she could just put it in my mail slot at my house b/c I was busy with Easter festivities all weekend, and she said fine. Sent me an email saying she would drop it off last night. I get home, no money. So she sends me an email this morning, saying she is on her way to drop off the money. I get home from work expecting the envelope to be there, and STILL no money!!!!!!! I am so frustrated with her beyond belief, and no longer feel like I should make her cake b/c this seems like it's some sort of game or something to her. I'm just asking for anyone else's thoughts or opinions on the matter, and how I should tell her that I am no longer willing to make her cake? Thank you in advance!

Two killed in weekend snowmobile accidents
New Hampshire Fish and Game officials reported accidents took place in Grafton and Lempster, while a Manchester man was killed while snowmobiling with his son in Auburn and an Errol man was killed Sunday afternoon in Pittsburg.
Keith Ryan, 41, of Manchester was pronounced dead Saturday afternoon at Elliot Hospital after the snowmobile he was operating near Lake Massabesic hit a rock and accelerated, throwing him onto nearby rocks. His son, who was a passenger, was also thrown from the snowmobile and injured. He was transported to Elliot Hospital as well, suffering from a concussion, and a fractured hip and femur, according to Fish and Game officials. No further information on his condition was available Sunday night.
Christine Papciak of Auburn was walking her dog nearby when she heard screaming and crying at the accident scene.
"There were two guys that were out ice fishing, and they came running and offered jackets," said Papchiak. "I saw the victim's girlfriend performing CPR on him, and I could see the boy off to the side under a blanket. The man's two daughters were hysterical, saying they didn't want their dad to die. I offered to take them to my car and wait with them while Krista, the man's girlfriend, stayed with the man. They wanted to call their mom, so they used my phone."
As EMTs transported Ryan and his son to the Elliot, Papchiak gave Krista and the two daughters a ride to the hospital.
"She couldn't find her guys, so I offered to take them," said Papchiak. "I felt so bad for them. Krista told me they were both alive when they left the lake. The girls were so upset."
Papchiak later went back to the scene of the accident and retrieved jackets, boots and Krista's keys. She took them back to the family at the Elliot.
"I found out it was a fatal accident," said Papchiak. "The boy was in surgery then, and I didn't hear anything more."
Papchiak, who leaves near the lake, said she couldn't recall any similar accidents at that location.
On Sunday, John Allen, 63, of Errol died as a result of injuries sustained in a snowmobile crash in Pittsburg.
Fish and Game officers said at 2 p.m. Sunday emergency personnel were called to the scene of the single-vehicle crash on Trail 138, near River Road in Pittsburg. The operator, Allen, was found unresponsive against some trees approximately 15 feet from the trail.
Resuscitation efforts were initiated, and Allen was transported from the scene by rescue sled, with CPR in progress. Allen succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead later that afternoon. Authorities said excessive speed appears to have been the primary factor in the accident.
Two other snowmobile accidents occurred Saturday as well.
At 1:46 p.m. Saturday, Fish and Game officers responded to a report of a snowmobile accident in Lempster. The accident occurred on Trail No. 393, approximately a half mile from the intersection with Mountain Road.
Responding officers reported that a group of five friends from Connecticut were snowmobiling in the area, traveling north on Trail 393, also known as the Bean Mountain trail. Reports indicate that the passenger's seat on a 2007 Ski-Doo GTX snowmobile, operated by Arthur Raczkowski, 40, of Connecticut, disconnected from the rest of the machine, causing a passenger, Adam Zakrzewski, 33, also of Connecticut, to fall backwards off the snowmobile.
Zakrzewski struck the ground, causing injuries requiring him to be airlifted to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. No further information on his condition was available Sunday night.
The incident remains under investigation by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.
Also on Saturday, at 2:50 p.m., Robert Hughes Jr., 49, of Framingham, Mass., suffered left shoulder and leg injuries while riding a snowmobile on Kilton Pond in Grafton. Fish and Game officials said Hughes was operating the snowmobile when he failed to negotiate a turn on the pond, causing it to roll over. Witnesses to the accident called 911, and Hughes was transported to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center with minor injuries.
Fish and Game officials said the cause of the accident was not alcohol-related, but did say speed and inexperience of the rider appear to be contributing factors.

Springfield Student Athletes No Longer Pay to Play
SPRINGFIELD -- The school board has spoken and pay for play fees are no longer district-wide.
The decision came during Thursday night's school board meeting.
Pay to play fees have officially been suspended for the next three years, and that long-awaited decision is effective immediately.
"Kids that participate in extracurricular activities leads to better grades, better attendance, and fewer discipline problems, " Springfield Superintendent Dr. David Estdrop said.
A shortage of money lead to the 2008 school board decision requiring all middle school students to pay $50 per sport and high schoolers to pay $100.
Those fees were one of the lowest in the Miami Valley, but still, any fee at all didn't sit well with district decision makers.
"This is just going to remove another barrier that stood in the way of some families who couldn't afford the fee. By taking this barrier out of the way, it's opening up more doors for more kids to be part of our athletic program," Dr. Estdrop proudly added.
Thanks to the best financial standing the district has seen in 10 years - in the form of 3 million dollars worth of savings- Springfield schools can now afford the $48,000 annual athletic price tag.
In short, sports are once again free for students.
"You'll get a lot more participation. it should go very well. They need to make it permanent instead of just 3 years," Springfield Dad Danny Mapp said with a smile.
"I think as we move into the winter and spring we will definitely see more kids coming out. I thinks it's a great thing for Springfield," added Michael Dellapina, Springfield Athletic Director.
Middle and high schools will stop collecting payments Friday and begin refunding those who have paid already as well.

The background: I am allergic to something. I have no idea what it is. While some foods cause me minor breakouts if I have them more than a couple times a week, others cause a complete rash on my face from the neck up...like baby acne for adults. Fun. I tried the Clean program cleanse a year ago, but the reintroduction phase got lost in a trip to NYC. Pizza and cupcakes and wine...oh my! Now finally I'm trying to start again. I was doing quite well, but truthfully fell off the rails with a bunch of excuses that all let me take my eye off the prize.
My prize? Finally learning what makes my body rebel, renewed faith in my ability to stick to a goal, and deeper understanding of my emotional eating.
The caution? I've got some history with food. I was quite a binge eater, and still find myself having those cravings...the longing to dive into a large bag of chips or an overflowing bowl of chocolate still grabs me regularly. Most times it loses and I win, each victory making me feel stronger than before. I understand that restrictive programs such as Clean may trigger those feelings for me, and this is what brings me here.
I am NOT on this program to lose weight. That will be my mantra. In the mornings when I want to step on the scale. At work, when my well-intentioned coworkers tell me I'm looking good. In the dark moments when I am aware of the weight loss and want to sabotage it instead of carrying on. My goal is simply to give my body a break from the unnatural, processed, high sugar foods. To give it time to heal and start fresh. To begin to learn how certain foods cause my body to react.
So tomorrow will be day 1 of 21 and I will log on here to write about my progress. I will explain my plan tomorrow. If you happen to find me and want to come along for the ride, I'm happy to have some help and support :)
I recently, after about 5 weeks of MOSTly consistent eating habits and good exercise, lost 5-7 pounds and 1 full inch off my waist. In the past 7 days (give or take) I THINK I have all but erased that progress. Is that possible? Without bingeing? Can someone eat enough to erase that kind of progress without it being a binge?
Anyway, I stepped on the scale as my bloated, fully clothed self tonight and saw my scary number. A number that my bloated self wouldn't have reached on a bloated night a week ago. I take two steps forward and 7 steps back and it is SO frustrating!
I worry a lot that I'm never going to do this. When I'm doing well I feel so positive that I'm finally changing, but somehow I always end up back here with my weight back on after barely making a dent and it makes me think I'll never find peace with food.
But you know what else? I can also admit to myself that I simply wasn't trying. If I want this, I need to fight harder and I need to not stop fighting. I cannot let my guard down after a few pounds lost. I cannot let my boyfriend telling me I'm sexy and crazy for thinking otherwise make me forget that it's not so much my body that needs fixing as it is my relationship with food.
I tell you...a little bit of convincing from him that I can indulge in pizza, rum, chips, etc one night, and I'm guilt eating for a minimum 2 days (in this case, though, it's been a week!).
I'm not blaming him in any way shape or form. I'm here to tell myself that I know what I need. In my heart, I know the reason why I want to focus on good eating habits. I need to make choices based on how I feel and how I'll react once the decision is made.
I NEVER regret turning down food. Never.
I want a plan. First of all, I'm proud to say I have almost made it 30 days binge free thanks to 3 day wins. Some people might call my eating bingeing, but as off the wagon as I feel, I do not feel I have binged.
So I am continuing on with my BF streak, but I need something more. I'm going to get my school work done tonight and then I'm going to write myself a plan. And I WILL stick to my guns (as a spark friend told me to do!!) because I'm tired of letting myself down and being too easy on me!
Here goes!
I am blogging tonight to hold myself accountable to my actions. Or am I? Because I just binged tonight - no denying it - yet I am still choosing to call it Day 4 in my BF streak. Day 4 with its shiny star sticker (yes, I use stickers for each BF day) and the inconspicuous word "pass" scrawled beside it.
Sigh. Sometimes I just feel like I need to give myself a little help through the start of a new streak! But other times - and particularly tonight - I wonder if I'm setting my bar too low and expecting too little of myself. But isn't it guilt and self deprecation that leads me to bingeing? When, if not in the midst of trying to heal myself, is a better time to show myself a little kindness?
So why, then, can I not just say "day 4" and carry on my merry evening? Why must I agonize over the decision and explain to all my spark friends on my LBF message board that even though I'm calling it day 4, it was actually a big giant cheat?
Here are the positives: I have eaten extremely healthily more days than not in the last month. The scale has only moved down in the past 3 weeks. I have made it through the last two weekends with extremely healthy and happy food behaviour! That last one is a feat in itself! It's been the Mondays and Tuesdays that have been getting me!
I'm officially blabbering now. Just wanted to bore the very few people who read my blogs with my inner dialogue instead of filling up any more space on the LBF message board (they got their fair share, trust!!). And more importantly, since writing releases me from my head a little bit, I wanted to explain and get off my chest why I want to call tonight binge free.
But if it happens again tomorrow, it'll be back to day 1 for me! Forgiveness is one thing. Denial is another.
When I binge I get tired walking up the stairs to my bedroom.
I dress quickly without looking down at my stomach.
I brush my teeth and wash my face, figuring "at least I can do that".
I get under the covers, convince myself tomorrow will be better.
I close my eyes, remind myself of all the times I've proved it won't be.
I wake up, blissfully unaware,
then I remember. I weaken. I berate. I deflate.
I try to find something to wear to cover the mistakes of last night.
Usually black. Mourning the loss of a promising day.
Knowing nothing will taste as good, nothing will feel as good.
Defeated before I begin.
My morning coffee loses its comfort.
My first meal makes my stomach turn.
The angry voice telling me "you'll fail" is too tired to form the words.
Disappointed in me I guess, for making it too easy.
For proving it right.
When I binge I lose my light.
I don't enjoy my time with people who
in other circumstances
make me smile, laugh out loud, feel alive.
Well I made it! My first full binge free day in about a week! It feels so good!
Earlier today I posted that I was going to work solid for 2.5 hours then take some time to do something soul nourishing. Well it's a funny thing that happens when you free yourself from your To Do list! It ends up being the very thing that you WANT to do! I made myself a delicious, veggie filled omelet for supper, then got the urge to use my canned pumpkin to bake myself some healthy pumpkin bread for the week! Better yet, while it was cooking, I vacuumed my floor (THAT was on my To Do list for the week!) and then I decided to get my workout on.
Originally I had hoped to meet up with friends or family, but everyone seemed busy tonight. I'm kind of glad that getting things done ended up being just what I needed to feel some positivity today.
Oh....and my Spark friends are simply the best! Thank you everyone who made my day extra special today! I hope I get to return the favour soon.

Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park Japanese Garden Opening
The new 8.5 acre, $22 million dollar Japanese Garden addition designed by Hoichi Kurisu will open in 2015 at the Gardens. It will be located in the current 'Woods and Wetlands' area adjacent to the Children's Garden and Michigan's Farm Garden.
The new space will include multiple works of sculpture, the first of which is an untitled polished granite work by Amish Kapoor, perhaps best known for 'Cloud Gate' (or 'The Bean') in downtown Chicago. A working Japanese tea house will also be built.

Library Cards: Your Global Passport
By Suzanne McCabe, editor-at-large, Scholastic Inc.
Who doesnt love a good library card story? At Scholastic, we cant get enough of them.
One story that has stuck in my mind for years comes from George Miles, a childhood friends older brother. In 2010, George was inducted into the Hall of Fame at our local high school. He recalled that on his eighth birthday, his father burst into his room and brought him to the public library to apply for a card. Georges mother sweetened the deal: If he read his first library book, she would buy it for him. So began a life of adventure and a boundless quest for knowledge. Today, George is the curator of Western Americana at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University.
I never set out to be a librarian, George said. But in retrospect, it seems almost inevitable.
As students embark on their summer adventures with the demands of the Common Core ahead we wanted to give them a sense of the possibilities that are only a library card away.
As first-grade teacher and reading expert Maria Walther told a Scholastic colleague earlier this year: We are setting ourselves up for failure if we put forth all these grand ideas of voluminous, independent complex text reading, but then dont offer students voluminous, joyful reading experiences each and every day.
Whether your students travel the world this summer, or dont leave home, here are some books that will offer breathtaking vistas and extraordinary insights with the scan of a library card.

Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach
Morgan Kaufmann, Nov 3, 2006 - Computers - 704 pages
The era of seemingly unlimited growth in processor performance is over: single chip architectures can no longer overcome the performance limitations imposed by the power they consume and the heat they generate. Today, Intel and other semiconductor firms are abandoning the single fast processor model in favor of multi-core microprocessors--chips that combine two or more processors in a single package. In the fourth edition of Computer Architecture, the authors focus on this historic shift, increasing their coverage of multiprocessors and exploring the most effective ways of achieving parallelism as the key to unlocking the power of multiple processor architectures. Additionally, the new edition has expanded and updated coverage of design topics beyond processor performance, including power, reliability, availability, and dependability.

An unsuccessful contender to lease the former Boston Ship Corp. yard has won a temporary stay blocking the Massachusetts Port Authority's choice of another company to operate the 18.5-acre facility.
A court hearing is due today on the attempt by East Boston Marine Park Inc. to reopen the selection process. The firm obtained a temporary restraining order to stop Mass- port from awarding a 25-year lease to J.M. Cashman Inc., a marine contractor, hours after the award was announced.It was believed that Cashman competed only with Boston Marine Center Associates in the final competition. But an attorney for East Boston Marine said he believe his client was in contention until late August.
A Massport spokesman refused comment on the legal action except to say, ''The plaintiff obviously had some concerns or questions about the process (of selecting the lessee) or how it turned out."
She added, "We think we selected a good candidate for the lease."
A former official of East Boston Marine is William Kenney, founder and head of the now defunct Boston Ship Corp. Massport bought the shipyard for $10 million during Boston Ship's bankruptcy action last year.
Bernard Dwork, East Boston Marine's lawyer, alleged there was ''antagonism (toward Mr. Kenney) by high level people at Massport" because of a now-resolved dispute over "certain merchandise" at the shipyard.
Mr. Kenney withdrew from East Boston Marine, but Massport's board "has not properly considered the (East Boston Marine) proposal because of his past participation," Mr. Dwork said.
Massport has not disclosed details of the Cashman deal, saying it was still being finalized. A spokesman for the port agency said Cashman plans to move its fleet of 25 vessels to the site and to operate a repair yard for small ships and a pleasure boat marina.

Hi, I'm preparing some answers to some questions from some CHI-WEB people. Is there a definition of what an accessible web page is? (This might also be helpful for any future testing.) Thanks, ScottReceived on Thursday, 27 December 2001 18:42:08 GMT
