On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
US/AFGHANISTAN/PAKISTAN/QATAR/CT/MIL- Holbrooke says training Afghan army is top task

DOHA, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Training the local army is the top priority in
Afghanistan and the international community will need to keep helping
Afghan reconstruction even after U.S.-led forces withdraw, U.S. envoy
Richard Holbrooke said on Monday.
"Looking to the day when we leave Afghanistan requires a government with a
police and security force with the strength to deal with the Taliban.
Training of the army is the most critical part of our long-term policy
there," Holbrooke said.
"Security has to be the first criteria as we help the Afghans rebuild
their nation," he told a U.S.-Islamic Forum in Doha, Qatar as NATO troops
battled the Taliban for control of a key town in Helmand province.
"We cannot make the disastrous mistake of 1989. The international
community must stay in Afghanistan to help it," Holbrooke said, referring
to a lack of international engagement after Soviet troops left
Holbrooke said some withdrawals from Afghanistan "on a careful basis" will
begin next year. President Barack Obama has pledged to start pulling out
troops in July 2011.
U.S. Marines leading one of NATO's biggest offensives against the Taliban
in the eight-year war are facing fierce resistance in some areas,
including heavy gunfire, snipers and booby traps, U.S. officials said on
The assault is the first test of Obama's strategy based on sending 30,000
more troops to Afghanistan, where the Taliban have made a steady comeback
since a U.S.-led invasion ousted them in 2001. (Reporting by Regan E.

Wedding: 6/30/2012
I'm finally getting around to writing my vendor reviews, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about emporaflora and owner Marisa!
Marisa has TALENT. I always think that my wedding flowers have to have been the prettiest flowers in the entire universe and then I look at her other designs/weddings and am so impressed.
Thank you so so so much Marisa!
Wedding: 8/14/2011
When my husband and I met with our DJ, we mentioned to him that we were still looking for a florist. He recommended Empora Flora and we visited the website and were impressed immediately. We quickly scheduled a meeting with Marisa, the owner of Empora Flora. From the first meeting, I knew her style and expertise in floral artistry would be the perfect match for us. Marisa came up with the most amazing and unique floral wedding designs on paper in just one day. We could tell that she had a burning passion for flowers and she put 150% of her time and energy to make sure we were happy and comfortable with all the decisions we made as a team. We told her that we wanted: blues, greens, and whites to come together in a playful, modern beach wedding. What she delivered was so much more than I could have ever imagined. On the big day, her flowers took my breath away. And even my husband's (this coming from a man who didn't want to spend a penny on flowers)!! She also created an amazing rose petal design down our aisle that our guests talked about the entire wedding day. Months later, our guests from the wedding still talk about it and all the other floral arrangements. From the bouquets, boutonnieres, aisle décor, and then to the center pieces….. no other florist could have come near in creating something so beautiful and perfect. Picking Marisa and her team for our wedding was one of the best decisions we did for our entire wedding planning process. We can't say enough about Marisa & her team at Empora Flora. Simply put: best florist ever!
Wedding: 1/14/2012
I love Marisa. Words cannot begin to describe her talent and dedication. I've never planned any type of party before so I guess there is always a first for everything. Since this day was so important to me, there were many things for me to worry about already and many vendors needed quite a bit of handholding. Marisa never had me worried. I knew I could trust her judgement and that if I let her do her thing, I would be very, very happy. My faith never wavered and it proved rewarding in the end. The church, as she mentioned in her post, was named Mariner's Church. It is a beautiful church but after Marisa had finished her work, the Pastor sought me out just to let me know what a wonderful vendor I had hired. He mentioned that in all his years at the church and all the weddings he had officiated, none were as beautifully decorated as mine. Marisa truly outdid herself.
Talent is an important thing to have, but at the same time, a successful vendor also needs to understand the client's needs and be able to adapt. I was so worried about flowers until I talked to Marisa. I wanted something elegant but gorgeous and I was afraid I would never find someone who could make my dream a reality. Marisa had such energy and enthusiasm that even over the phone, I began to believe everything would be alright. With a reasonable budget, she will find the best flowers for you within your price range. Perhaps you won't be able to afford all those expensive flowers, but her comfort zone is so wide, you'll never miss it. I was so thankful that she was so willing to work with me, to take the time to learn what I liked and disliked and then try to find a middle ground with my budget using a variety of flower choices. I ended up going a bit over my initial estimate only because I kept seeing more of her work and couldn't resist adding more things onto my invoice. I mean, it IS once in a lifetime! She was very kind and patient and was always prompt with returning phone calls and emails. She allowed me to add in items last minute without ever giving me an attitude even though I knew I should have thought of these things earlier. On the day of the wedding, she was prompt and on time and set up with no fuss. She and Ryan were very efficient and needed no help at all returning the venue to its original state. Before the wedding she assured me over and over again that she would represent me to the fullest and would definitely not ruin or damage any venue she decorated. She was right! The church had some pretty picky people and even they were delighted with her. She is a joy to work with and there is not a day that passes that I don't give myself a pat on the back for finding her. She is truly a diamond in the rough and if you found her and hire her, you are in for a treat! You will always be pleasantly surprised and never have to worry about a thing. She is easy to work with, has a great attitude and willing to find ways to stay within your budget…honestly, what more could anyone want from a florist?
She honestly made my wedding day so very special. It would not have been the same without her flowers.
Wedding: 9/23/2011
The flowers for my wedding turned out even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! EVERYONE was commenting on how stunning and original the floral designs were. I am VERY, VERY picky!!!!! I told Marisa the color ideas I had in mind for the various arrangements and for the areas I wasn't sure about, she helped me out and gave me her professional opinion. I put a lot of trust into Marisa and was 100% blown away out how STUNNING everything looked. She has a very sharp eye and her attention to detail sets her apart from any other artist I've ever met. She is SO easy to work with! Even if you don't have a set idea in mind about what exactly you want, Marisa is so innovative she can make your wedding dreams come true!
Wedding: 4/10/2011
Marisa did an amazing job coming up with unique floral designs and I could not of been happier with how all of the floral arrangements came out.Marisa was a pleasure to work with, and worked within our budget, to create a concept that really reflected the theme of our wedding.
Wedding: 7/8/2011
Marisa is, by far, one of the most creative and passionate artists I have ever encountered. She is an above par florist, with ideas that just flow through her. To call her just a florist seems to be short of what she truly is, because Marisa is an artists at what she does. Every piece of work that she created for my wedding was pure art, from the centerpieces, to the bouquets, from the aisle petal work to the alter pieces. She put her blood, sweat, and tears into my wedding, and it showed. Everyone at my wedding asked who the florist was. In addition, everyone who is close to me at my wedding astutely pointed out that our flowers truly embodied my style. Marisa was able to make my vision of my wedding more beautiful than I thought it could ever be. I came with an idea for flowers, and she made it a story. I had an infinity sign theme, and she helped make it come alive. My bouquet was the talk of the wedding, and continues to be a highlight that my guests talk about. I have already told everyone that I know that is planning a wedding to use Marisa as their florist. I met a lot of florists, and I admit, after a while they started to blend together, but Marisa continues to stand above the rest, in her style, personality, and value. Not only am I glad that we used her work for our wedding, I'm glad I just got to meet her as a person.
Wedding: 5/7/2011
EmporaFlora did an amazing job for my wedding. Marisa has a really modern feel and is so creative with all that she does. You can tell how passionate she is about flowers. Many of my friends commented on how unique my floral arrangements were, and loved the colors! She was very easy to work with, and I would definitely recommend her!!
Wedding: 5/21/2011
Marisa is more than just an amazing florist, she's a super cool chick! She took all of my ideas and made them a beautiful reality better than I could have ever even imagined! She took the time to make me feel like my wedding was the only one she was working on, when I am sure she is super busy doing tons of events because she is super talented! Everyone at our wedding complimented how beautiful our flowers were! Marisa is now my go to gal for any of my floral needs!
Wedding: 5/21/2011
marisa from Empora is amazing she is so creative and knew what we wanted right away! I will use her for all my future floral needs!
Wedding: 6/4/2011
Where do I begin? Marisa is absolutely a dream to work with. First of all, she is so sweet and easy to talk to. She really listens to what you want and offers her ideas and advice to really take your concepts to another level. Responsiveness is an A+ because I know how nerve wracking it is when a vendor doesn't responds to your phone calls and/or emails. You give her your budget and she can do amazing things with it. However, I would definitely NOT skimp. Marisa's work is AMAZING! Put your trust in her and she will not disappoint. She is truly a master at what she does. I would HIGHLY recommend Empora Flora if you want quality, fresh, creative, budget conscious, artistic, and just fabulous flowers. I have NO complaints. Thank you again Marisa! You made my dream wedding a wonderful reality.
Wedding: 5/14/2011
Marisa's amazing. Period. The bouquets, boutonnieres and corsage she made for my wedding last weekend were beyond gorgeous. I got so many compliments on them.
I found Empora by accident while driving home one day. I had checked out a few other florists and the prices were crazy high. I'd also gone downtown to look into getting flowers done and it was "Tell us exactly what you want or bring a picture and we'll copy it." Yawn.
So when I drove by Empora one day I figured I'd check them out. Best move. I met with Marisa, the owner, and she was so easy to work with--a good listener with a good eye and lots of creativity. She asked me to bring pictures, and she used those to get an idea of the types of flowers, colors and looks that I like. But what she was most interested in was figuring out my personality and that of my wedding and venue to be able to give me the best floral designs to fit.
From talking to her and seeing photos of her other work, it was clear that Marisa knows her stuff, so I felt comfortable throwing in a few guidelines (e.g., nothing "avant garde"/"artsy") and then just letting her do her thing.
She's truly an artist with flowers. And that's exactly what I got-floral art. I couldn't tell you the names of half the flowers in the bouquets, boutonnieres and corsage, but I *can* tell you that the colors were totally us, the look was totally us and it all worked so well with the overall look of our wedding and venue! And the price was amazing!
I highly recommend Marisa and Empora!
Wedding: 6/11/2011
Marisa is so wonderful at her craft. She is truly passionate about every creation she is tasked with. I can honestly say that I've never met anyone so enthusiastic and energetic about their work.
From our first meeting I felt secure to hand over the reins. I'm normally a control-freak but Marisa was so excited about my wedding. I knew she would do an excellent job, so...I handed her a check and said, "I trust you, do whatever you like."
Needless to say, when I entered the venue the day of my wedding, I almost did cartwheels; everything was impeccable. I even picked her up and spun her around. She is creativity bottled up in a pint-sized package.
Above all, my not-so typical, cascading bouquet was ga-ga-gorgeous. She has definitely set the bar HIGH when it comes to bouquets.
The centerpieces were amazing to say the least. My guests were fighting to take them home. In addition, my bridesmaids loved their composite bouquets as well.
The ceremony aisle was a blanket of red roses. And when I say blanket, I mean BLANKET! There was no white to be seen from the aisle runner underneath. It was the "ahhh" factor when the guests walked in. They all mentioned that they had never seen anything like it.
Though I am excited about my wedding finally being over, I'm a little bummed-out that I will no longer get to work with Marisa; maybe I can intern on the weekends, lol. She will most definitely get hired again for my baby shower when and if I get pregnant.
I enjoyed working with Empora and I HIGHLY recommend their services! A++++
Wedding: 3/26/2011
Marisa was soooo amazing to work with! She took my crazy idea to create a wall of flowers and really made it a reality. A WALL OF FLOWERS!! Literally! Everything was perfect... from the centerpieces, bouquet, to boutonnieres. She even got me peonies, even when another florist I met with said they were out of season. Amazing!
I really can't recommend Marisa enough and if I was getting married all over again I'd still pick her.
Wedding: 4/16/2011
Marisa saw our vision and created floral arrangements better than I could have imagined. She worked with our budget and was honest and up front about what she could do within our parameters, then comped a bunch of stuff for us!
Wedding: 1/22/2011
The first time I saw my bridesmaids' bouquets I wanted them, and then I saw my bouquet and I could not have been any happier with how Marisa made the most beautiful arrangement of all of the flowers I loved, and somehow kept it all within my budget. Everything kept getting better throughout the day, from the boutonnieres to the center pieces, altar pieces, cake flowers, toss bouquet and parents' bouquets. Marisa was the first of three florists I went to see and she was the kindest and most creative and enthusiastic about making our wedding day special, spending many hours trying to hone in on what exactly I was looking for amidst my indecisiveness. She was so reasonable yet full of ideas, willing to work backwards from my budget and understand what I had in mind. I gave her a general idea of colors and feel/style of flowers, and she ran with it and far exceeded my expectations. You will not be disappointed if you let her be creative with your wedding colors - I could never have designed what she came up with. Her flowers make our wedding photos look amazing and our bouquets/bouts complemented the wedding party so well. She was professional and flexible throughout the process, accommodating changes in flower/color selection or early meeting times, and she even added in accents here and there at the wedding with flowers/ribbons that added so much to the overall decor. All in all, I am so glad I trusted Marisa and the staff at Emporaflora with my wedding - she made our wedding so beautiful and memorable.
Wedding: 10/16/2010
When I first met with Marisa to give her my wedding theme ideas, she instantly helped me to capture my vision with her creative ideas and experience. I went in with an open mind and a set budget and I had no problem allowing her to use her talent to put together something truly amazing. She makes sure to include the little details like colors and jewelry details and the theme to make sure everything flows and contrasts in the right ways. In the end, my bouquet was absolutely amazing along with the bridesmaids bouquets, and I couldn't have been happier with the centerpieces and trinkets of flowers here and there at the reception. I would HIGHLY recommend Marisa as your future florist! When your florist gets excited and wants the challenge of a new idea, you know she's the one!!
Wedding: 10/13/2010
Empora Floral came to my rescue when my original florist cancelled on me just two weeks before the big day! With time running out Marisa was able to meet with me just a week before the wedding and put together the most beautiful flowers. She even kept me within budget and was able to get me flowers that I didn't think I could afford. She listened to my requests and concerns and I couldn't have been happier. The flowers were so pretty and delicate; just how I had imagined them. She was so fun to work with and is an amazing artist and a beautiful person! She was my angel on the most important day of my life. This is who you want as your florist on your wedding day! AMAZING TALENT!
Wedding: 10/23/2010
emporaflora is amazing!! At our first meeting, Marisa was enthusiastic, informative, and brimming with ideas. She is so passionate about her work and has such an impressive knowledge about both the flowers themselves and the art of design, and made the design process such an enjoyable one. She is so easy to talk to, is flexible with your needs, and makes you feel like you are her only bride. Since I was planning my wedding from Florida, we had to rely on email to communicate our vision – not normally an easy task! But Marisa is so good at what she does that when we asked for a sample centerpiece, she somehow created exactly what I was picturing in my mind - even though I had not found any photos of similar arrangements I liked or anything! My wedding day flowers were breathtaking and surpassed my already high expectations. She also delivered everything herself and went above and beyond to help us that day. I can't thank her enough and I would hands-down recommend her to anyone!
Wedding: 10/8/2010
Marissa is a true artist, that can stay in a budget. She created the most beautiful arrangement for my wedding for an amazing price. She went above and beyond anything I could have wished for. Since pesto is my new husbands favorite thing to eat. Basil was a theme. My center pieces where fragrant basil plants (which the guest fought over). She even included the basil in the men's boutonnières. Marissa also made adorable tiny succulents for the guest to take home. And the best was my bouquet, I have never scene anything like it. A mixture of succulents and flowers, it was a work of art. If you choose Marissa you will get a creative and original florist that will make your day breathtaking.
Wedding: 10/2/2010
I was searching around for florists on The Knot and found Marisa with Empora. She was one of The Knot's top picks in Orange County. I knew she had to be great to be that highly recommended. And I was right! I had no idea what type of flowers, centerpieces or bouquet that I wanted. We met with Marisa and she immediately knew what to create for us based on our personalities. I let her have free range to create what she thought was best, and I was very impressed! Everything turned out so beautiful and was very inexpensive compared to other florists in the area. I definitely recommend Marisa and Empora to any future brides!

On Tuesday, WWD reported on Margaret Chin, a New York City councilwoman lobbying to pass a bill that would make the purchase of counterfeit goods a class A misdemeanor. See, while it's against the law to produce or sell fake Rolexes and Vuitton bags, there's currently no law prohibiting people from buying them. Should the bill pass, anyone caught trying to purchase these knock-offs could get slapped with a $1,000 fine or a year in jail.
Did you get that? A year in jail. All because you wanted to look like you could afford a fancy watch. Listen, we're certainly not promoting the black market for "designer" fakes, but a year in the clink seems like a harsh punishment. In fact, we've rounded up some other class A misdemeanors, just to put this in context. Below, a list of ten things that could potentially get you less time than buying a fake Rollie:
Now, we're not saying that counterfeit operations aren't a bad thing. They are. They're often run by organized crime outfits, they hurt the designers they rip off, and the sale of fake bags and watches tends to be hell on a neighborhood (just look at Canal Street in NYC). We should absolutely punish counterfeiters. But are the folks who buy a fake Chanel purse really as bad as people who start riots? Or sexual abusers? We're just not sure we buy it.

The Elizabethtown Educational Foundation hosts the event from 7 to 10 p.m. at Pritchard Community Center. The Event 2013 allows the foundation to pay for classroom grants for schools in the district.
After a non-traditional route to teaching, Lisa Hawkins has been honored with a longtime tradition of the central Kentucky area.
Hawkins, a first-grade teacher at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School, is the 2013 ExCEL winner for LaRue County Schools. Hawkins, of Magnolia, has taught in the district for 24 years.
The Excellence in Classroom and Educational Leadership designation is awarded in several school systems in the region. It is sponsored by WHAS and E.ON. U.S., a Louisville energy company.
In the end, it was "tortoise" that won the race, or rather, the bee.
For the second year in a row, Dillon Brock won the Hardin County Derby Festival Spelling Bee, which took place Tuesday at the Hardin County Schools Performing Arts Center at John Hardin High School.
Hardin County Schools is moving forward quickly with its new college and career center.
The HCS board approved several aspects of its newly proposed center Tuesday, including the first set of construction documents for the building and an outline for the principal position.
The new building, which will be on University Drive next to Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, will have a capacity of 900 students, according to construction documents. Program space is projected to be 49,950 square feet.
Area schools and districts have joined with those across the state in planning ways to help students learn and improve test results.
All schools and districts were required late last week to submit plans to the state Department of Education to meet ambitious new goals on the K-PREP student test.
Local schools and districts submitted plans to meet their individual needs to improve student learning and performance.
Looking at the names of winners of the WHAS-11 ExCEL Award was so overwhelming, said school middle school music teacher Kim Root Evans, it brought tears to her eyes.
"How is my name on this list?" she wondered.
But it indeed is on the list, as Evans on Monday was named 2013 ExCEL award winner.

Is Motrin better than Advil for inflammation?
- Q: I have a lot of pain from fibromyalgia, but I've been trying not to take a lot of drugs. I've been using Advil but my doctor says Motrin is better for inflammation. Is this right?
- A: Advil (ibuprofen) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can be used for pain and inflammation. Motrin (ibuprofen) is the same medication as Advil; the difference is that they're made by different companies. They will both work in the same way. Generic ibuprofen will work just as well as Advil or Motrin and costs less. For more on fibromyalgia, go to http://www.everydayhealth.com/fibromyalgia/fibromyalgia-101.aspx. Laura Cable, PharmD, BCPS

Evangelical Leader: Marriage Equality Is Inevitable

It's always refreshing to hear agreement on the inevitability of marriage equality from unlikely places. Influential radio host Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, said last month, "I think it's clear that something like same-sex marriage is going to become normalized, legalized, and recognized in the culture. It's time for Christians to start thinking about how we're going to deal with that.''Continue Reading ►

Equality Days at the Nevada Statehouse!
March 30, 2011 by HRC staff
Day two of Nevada Equality Days began with a quick breakfast to get the day started. Each participant was assigned a legislator to sit with during the general session for the day but since we had some time before each chamber met, we each went over talking points and some of us even had the chance to make some quick stops into supportive legislators' offices. Regional Field Organizer Adrian Matanza and I stopped by our loudest advocate's office. Senator David Parks, Nevada's first openly gay legislator also happens to be the lead cosponsor for all of Nevada's pro-equality legislation. He is a staple of the Las Vegas LGBT community and it was great to see him in his element at the statehouse.Continue Reading ►

Russian skater wins women's gold medal
Top U.S. skater 4th
|Adelina Sotnikova of Russia celebrates on the podium as she celebrates placing first during the flower ceremony for the women's free skate figure skating final at the Iceberg Skating Palace during the 2014 Winter Olympics, Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014, in Sochi, Russia. (AP Photo/Darron Cummings)
SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Bursting from the shadow of her adored teammate, Adelina Sotnikova gave Russia its first gold medal in women's Olympic figure skating.
While much-heralded Julia Lipnitskaia was stumbling, the 17-year-old Sotnikova soared. When she won the free skate Thursday at the Sochi Games, she denied South Korea's Yuna Kim from defending her title and confirmed Russian command of the sport.
The Russians have won three figure skating gold medals at these Olympics: team, pairs and women's.
Only this latest one was a surprise. A huge surprise.
Sotnikova, 2 years older than Lipnitskaia but far less accomplished, was considered a long shot against the likes of Kim, Italy's Carolina Kostner, who took bronze, Japan's Mao Asada and Americans Gracie Gold and Ashley Wagner.
But Sotnikova, seemingly far more relaxed than nearly every other competitor, won it all, giving Russia or the Soviet Union 27 Olympic gold medals in the sport. They own five men's golds, 13 in pairs, seven in ice dance, and took the first team event this year.
Sotnikova was in the media area when she was told she won. She ran waving her arms in the air before finding her coach and sharing a warm hug. When she got onto the podium for the flower ceremony, to raucous chants of "Ro-ssi-ya," she jumped up and down like a teenager who had just had her Olympic dream come true.
She then took a lap around the rink wrapped in the Russian flag.
Lipnitskaia was fifth.
American Gracie Gold finished fourth, Ashley Wagner seventh and Polina Edmunds ninth. Japan's Mao Asada was third in the free skate after a 16th in Wednesday's short program and wound up sixth.

Paul Bilbrough
Excellent, because Sth. America was exactly how we expected it to be. Everyone must make the most of what is offered each day, effort and attitude are what counts. We were a very experienced group of travellers, but unfortunately we were 'the victims' caught in the middle of your Peak group reshuffle. Are you aware of the consequences of this.

I enjoyed the trip as a whole but we were not told of the changes to the itinerary until the pre departure meeting in Santiago. We did not go to Bariloche or Paraty and wasted a whole day flying from Iguazu via Sao Paulo to Rio! Surely there are direct flights?

Cant install windows 7
Hwllo gjys, im new to the forum, but anyway , i cant install windows 7 on my new computer
, got the hdd from my old laptop, idk how to format it but when i click new in windows 7 cd menu it pops up with error : Failed to create a new partion on the selected unused space :Error: 0x8007045d
I have also tried : format c:/ in cmd and diskpart or somthing like that.

Win7 x 6 PC's
Check in BIOS setup that you do not have EFI Boot disk in the Boot Order. Set DVD drive to boot first, followed by HD. Then under Storage/HD section check that SATA controller is set to AHCI to try install first.
If this fails wipe the HD with Diskpart Clean Command.
If that fails wipe with Clean command again but this time format an NTFS Primary Active partition using Step 2.2 here: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation then try install.
If that fails, run Disk Check from installer Command Line to check file system on HD. If probs test the HD with maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan.
Where did you get Win7? Did you burn the DVD yourself? Try writing ISO to flash stick using Universal USB Installer to eliminate installer as prob.

Week One down....need help please don't know what to do.
Yesterday I was all excited because my clothes feel better and I was loving the food. Then today total turnaround I can't seem to eat anything I haven't really had an appetite the past two days the taste in my mouth from: the diet makes me not want to eat especially the heavy food that I'm eating. I don't want to give up cause I feel great and I'm never hungry and I'm not craving anything except for something refreshing to make my mouth feel better and since I really hate artificial sweeteners nothing is taking the taste away from works for maybe a minute than its back to yuck mouth . Meat is staying to gross me out. Help any words of wisdom.? do you think I can go into Phase two maybe and that would be better for me.? Thank you I appreciate any advice I can receive.
brush your teeth. that should help!
and make sure the vegetables you are eating to make up your 20 grams of net carbs are ones that give you some of the juiciness you crave.
good luck.
Sounds like Keiotis (sp) breath to me. That's how my mouth felt too, like i'd been sucking on pennies. Yuck!
Can you drink more water?
Yeah I probably should be drinking more water. its hard for me to drink water but its still not making my mouth feel any better. I dont know if I am on this diet today. Ive been very tired too. I hate giving up on this tho.
Oh yeah vegetables....=( I suck at eating veggies too.
New Day feeling better trying to get focused here!!
I use a little lemon juice in my water, it helps me with the ketosis breath, and seems to be very refreshing. Maybe munching on some celery sticks? they are light and crunchy and pretty refreshing when the keto mouth gets really bad.
I sip water all day long to keep my ketosis breath under control. :)
How about exhaustion? I remember years ago when i did Atkins I couldnt sleep cause i had so much energy I cant move this week. totally exhausted.
I restarted 5 weeks ago. I have times of exhaustion, but not overall.
I slept 11 hours one night! Hard for me to believe, but I attribute that to the adjustment my body is making. I have times of feeling overall well being, and that is huge for me! It's getting better all the time . . .
I have had a lot of exhaustion. Just go to bed early. It's normal in the beginning I think.
This is my second try with Induction. I can tell you the breath, the nausea, and the lethargy is non-existant this time around because I drink TONS of water everyday-- at least 6 bottles a day. I can say it's easier, too, because it sure helps with the ketosis breath. It was so bad last time I did induction, it made me nauseated, and I didn't want to eat either. And I salt my food, when usually, I have always avoided the shaker at all times because high blood pressure runs in my family. The salt and the water helps Sooooo much!
Not hungry and no cravings? Sounds wonderful! I just started Induction 11 days ago and I, too, have that same taste in my mouth but it's really satisfying because I know I'm in ketosis. Stay with it and you'll see the fat just burn off you. As for me, I lost 10 pounds in the first 9 days and am not sure where I'm at now but I'm really sticking with it.
I love hot sauce so sometimes I will take a mild one with no carbs and just put a drop or two in my mouth for taste. Fantastic!
Good luck and please stick with it!
Entering week seven I am feeling good, no cravings or hunger. I am following induction "rules" about 90 - 95 percent of the time, and keeping my carbs at 20 or less everyday. No sure how much weight I am losing, I am sure it is slow, but I am happy with my clothes feeling looser and knowing that I can keep this up for sometime as I don't feel deprived.
Sparkling water on ice with a lemon squeezed in is fantastic for that feeling. Muddle some mint leaves into the drink if you have them. YUM! Tea can also be quite refreshing - green tea mixed with mint or mint tea. You can put that on ice too. I'd also recommend drinking more water overall.
I used to be terrible at adding veggies, but now before every meal, I try to think, "how can I add veggies to this?" For example, instead of an egg with bacon for breakfast, I'll add mushrooms, peppers, onion, tomato, and spinach to my eggs. Then put avocado on top. Instead of plain tuna salad, I'll mix with avocado and greek yogurt (instead of mayo), then add scallions and tomatoes. BLT salad is also great - mash an avocado, then add bacon and tomatoes. I like it rolled up in cheese, but would be good in a lettuce wrap too.
would you mind sharing your meal plans, that's impressive losses...

Round two with the Divorced Dad...
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 10-19-2009 - 4:11pm
Hello All,
I'm back!!!! Back in July I was asking for and getting wonderful advice from everyone on dating a divorced dad.
Quick recap - we basically stopped talking in July. I reached out a couple of times and got quick, informational replies about him and his kids. So I thought okay I tried my best - got the message - he's not interested. I'll move on.
I went on this big bike trip to Europe at the beginning of August. Suddenly when I return I get this email from him about how it seems we are moving in different directions, and he hopes my trip went well. At first I thought - what - I don't understand this email. He stopped talking to me! Then I noticed he also attached an article to the email written about my company and his company. Apparently my company made a healthy profit that quarter, and his company's profits went down. So I then figured that was what he was referring to when he said we were "heading in different directions".
Anyway moving forward - over the next few weeks he would send me a text or an email asking what I was doing or just some little joke or teasing comment. Finally he asks me to go to a movie. I was out of town and said I'd take a rain check. Well the next week he asks me again to go for a drink. Again I wasn't available but suggest another time. The time I suggest was the weekend he had his kids. I did meet them before we stopped talking so he invited me over for dinner. So I went to his house for dinner and we had a really fun time. Playing with the kids and catching up. I also let him know that it did hurt my feelings that he just basically stopped talking to me for over a month and a half. To this he replied well you stopped talking to me too. We discussed a bit more about communication and things like that - things he already knows that bother me about his communication style. We agree to wipe the slate clean and move forward.
Well this past week we were going to meet for a drink but some work commitmments came up so he asked me out for this past Friday. He actually called me again and sent me some texts before Friday - which was a nice change from before. He took me for wine and dinner - nice time. We were able to catch up some more. Well I stayed over his place and in the morning I had the worst headache - I get migraines. He was sweet got me some medicine; went and got coffee and scones. Well I ended up staying at his place until the afternoon. He went to school in Texas and their big rivalry football game was on. Normally he would meet his friends at this bar to watch the game. I told him to go ahead, take me home and go. But he said no it was okay - the game was going to start so he would stay home and watch. So I laid around getting over my headache while he watched the game. After the game was over he planned to workout and then get some work done since he will have his boys for the next 4 days. He dropped me off and asked what my plans were the rest of the day. I mainly was going to shop and then had a housewarming party to go to. I told him he could come with me if he wanted. He said to call him later b/c maybe he would need a break from work. So I called that night left a message about the party. Didn't hear back but figured he is just working.
So that is the recap. It is so weird being back in touch with him. But it feels good because I still like him. But honestly I'm scared. I'm wary especially from what happened before with him. I'm trying not to get all crazy and insecure if he doesn't call me back or respond right away - like I would want him to. I'm just unsure of this whole situation. I mean already I'm like okay I haven't heard from him and I feel unsettled by it. Ugh! His life situation is still the same as it was a couple of months ago. I just can't read him. And I really don't want to get sucked in again like before...
|Mon, 10-19-2009 - 5:52pm
Hi Rachel,
The statement that stood out the most to me is:
"His life situation is still the same as it was a couple of months ago. I just can't read him."
|Mon, 10-19-2009 - 6:27pm
Thanks for the reply!
Well perhaps I am more ahead than I thought. I have discussed things with him and told him how I feel about our communication. So he already knows how I feel. And last week he really did make an effort - called me twice before our date let me know the day off the date when he was leaving work. So he did that but you know people will later revert to how they really are. You can't change people - you just have to accept how they are.
I think I'm probably worried and over thinking everything. Plus I stayed over at his house if you know what I mean! :) So I'm like did I rush everything?!
|Mon, 10-19-2009 - 6:41pm
Yeah, try not to worry too much and just enjoy getting to know him!!!
Good Luck!!
|Tue, 10-20-2009 - 8:33am
let me tell you that i recently married a divorced guy AND THANK FULLY he didnt have any human kids.
|Thu, 10-22-2009 - 1:33pm
Hey Kristi!
I have a question - my divorced friend rarely talks about his ex - except of course when I ask questions. However I know a bit about why the marriage broke up and how they interact with one another presently, because I asked a few months ago. They do not have a good relationship. According to him she's verbally abusive to him; doesn't put kids first, difficult to deal with, etc. I know there are 2 sides to every relationship - but you know I only get his side.
The first time we got back in touch after the month we didn't speak, he told me the things that had been happening with him during that time. One main thing is that his oldest son is having some adjustment problems and has been acting out. They have 50/50 parenting - so the boys go back and forth every 4 or so days. His oldest is five. Apparently he has been telling them he doesn't want to be a part of the family anymore. That he wants a new one that is together. So he is seeing an evaluator regarding his adjustment to the divorce. Just this past weekend when I saw him, he told me his ex now wants more money from him and that she isn't helping him pick schools for the 2 boys. Essentially he makes a recommendation and he says no.
Like I said he really doesn't talk about it alot or incessently. However my friend said he shouldn't be telling me these things. I think he's just letting me know what's happening in his life with his kids. He's extremely concerned - I think as he should be - with how his kids are feeling and adjusting. That's the main thing he says over and over is how he worries about them and their well being. Personally I'd rather know what is going on. What are you thoughts? Did you experience that?
|Thu, 10-22-2009 - 2:24pm
I think part of dating/marrying a divorce Father is supporting him through the tough stuff that goes with being a divorced Father.
|Thu, 10-22-2009 - 6:35pm

Jumping in here.
His kids are a huge part of his life - he should be telling you these things. If you ever decide to get serious with this man, you need to know exactly what these issues are.
I married C. three months ago. He has two kids from a previous marriage and their visitation schedule was to visit us every other weekend.
Fast forward to two weeks ago, the kids' mom had a freakout with my stepson (who has learning disabilities) and basically dumped him on our doorstep (poor kid!). He has been living with us full time since then - temporarily, but we don't know how long -
|Thu, 10-22-2009 - 7:58pm
Thank you so much. I know you all have so much experience that it helps.
I guess ultimately what I'm trying to determine is if he is really ready to be dating someone at this point or if he's really interested at all. He is so bad with staying in touch - always has been from the beginning when I met him. It's not like it's something new to me. In the past a week or two would go by without any contact and then when he would talk to me, he'd be surprised that so much time went by. We just got back in touch couple of weeks ago and he told me he didn't realize that so much time had passed. Admitted he didn't reach out but that I also didn't either. Goodness.

Casting some light on the Canada Line
It's an installation the city hopes will shed some light on the Canada Line and the preferences of Richmond residents.
On Thursday, locals are invited to check out some special effect lighting of selected section of the $2.05-billion Richmond-Airport-Vancouver rapid transit line.
Richmondites can check it out the single guideway section's worth of display, courtesy Lightworks, near the Real Canadian Superstore, at No. 3 and Leslie roads.
The City of Richmond is currently investigating streetscape improvements, and the lighting is part of a demonstration aimed at gathering public input.
The display will be up starting tonight (Thursday) through Monday Nov. 5.
Comments can be e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com or by downloading the feedback form at www.richmond.ca.
The decision to incorporate special lighting will also depend on safety, cost, funding, visual impact, and public and council assessment.
The Canada Line is scheduled to be complete by November 2009, connecting Richmond city centre with the airport and downtown Vancouver.

George Harrison's Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star Celebrated With Vegan Meal
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 15th, 2009 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.
The late ex Beatle and vegetarian George Harrison has finally received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Although The Beatles share a star, only Harrison and John Lennon of the group have their own.
After the ceremony, several friends and family including Harrison's widow and son, Olivia and Dhani, Ed Begley Jr., Paul McCartney and girlfriend Nancy Shevell, enjoyed a vegan meal in Capital Records' Studio A.
Harrison was once quoted as saying, "The thing that repelled me about eating meat was the idea of killing animals. But the main issue is that it's not healthy and not natural."
