thank you for the wonderful tips and inspiration everyone..I guess we are all so much alike.
I have been nervous since I have been at goal. Afraid that I will overdo it. I am forcing myself to weigh only once a week and trying to do without the nutrition tracker. I do find myself eating more "treats" but not overindulging. And I agree, my image hasn't caught up yet. I don't see myself as "looking great" even though I am in the size I want to be at. Its funny, when I was overweight I didn't see myself as overweight (still saw the thin old me) but now that I have lost the weight I don't see myself as everyone else does. Very weird. Luckily I have running goals that keep me focused..if I eat bad I feel terrible when I run. The cardio is part of my routine and I haven't had much trouble getting it in. thanks for listening... ~ Denise ~

Great job, Paula!
I think that's part of what everyone needs to work on. All those studies show that women have an "all or nothing" attitude when it comes to food/dieting/healthy eating so I'm working on not being one of them... so you had the wine. You enjoyed it and tomorrow is a new day!! -Sarah |

Good for you Paula! I notice that it's getting harder and harder for me to do that, so I recognize how important it is to remember how to enjoy food without guilt!

This isn't really anything to do with body image but this is has been a nice thread with nice people and I wanted to report something I'm quite proud of.
I've been away for the weekend with a friend of mine and usually I'd stick rigidly to my normal routine or start getting a bit stressed about it. I had 3-4 glasses of wine yesterday and enjoyed some really nice treats today that bumped my calorie intake about 500 cals above normal and ..... instead of panicking - I've had a nice time and am ok with it. It's just 2 days, one weekend, one well deserved bit of indulgence and I'm going to just get back to it properly tomorrow. This is not like me at all!! but it's nice. Paula

Just wanted to say a few things as well. I too know I struggle with body image too. Sometimes I look in the mirror and still view myself no differently then I did when I started. It seems like I have these days, and days where I look in the mirror and think I look great. I definitely think it's a mind game, and just have to ignore myself and tell myself that I look great.

Hi Kit,
This is such a reality for all of us. I went to shop for trousers today. Even though I've absolutely no rational reason for my size to have changed I somehow convinced myself there's no way I'd fit in the size I bought a fortnight ago (even though I've been wearing them) and it STILL came as a surprise when they did. This is real stuff, for real people about real emotions. I've been feeling this way for a lifetime, it isn't going to switch itself off overnight and I realise now that I maybe NEED to remind myself regularly with things like shopping for me to get the message and come to terms with my new reality properly. Paula
I'm so glad this post was here this morning. I've crept up several pounds in the last few weeks, what with birthdays, restaurant meals, house-searching and too many appointments at work. And my body image multiplied those three pounds by, say, a a factor of 20! Yet yesterday, when I went out to pick up a new pair of jeans, they were still size 8s. So, there is a disconnect between my brain and reality on this one, just as many of you have been describing.
Getting back on the horse, I just planned a weekend of some of my favorite sure-fire weight loss foods, and lots of activity. Thanks, all. Kit "Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused." Anonymous

Thanks so much ladies for your support! I've been off-line for several days due to the fact that we went over our alloted megs for internet use and got cut off. No such thing as unlimited internet use here. Thanks especially to Lenore to be reminded that I am God's child and He loves me no matter how I'm feeling. I also like the idea of putting up a picture of myself.

I still think of myself as "fat" and so on. I think it frustrates my husband a great deal since my mental vision of me is a lot slower in catching up with me. I look at my stomach and sigh over my laziness and paunch that I still have.
I have to make an effort to realize that part of the paunch is the end result of being female. And yes, I am not motivated enough to work on that aspect of my figure so I need to stop complaining till I do! Like Shani, I'm always surprised when I see my reflection and realize that it's me. Me? I look like THAT? I look GOOD! I also weigh-in officially once a week (never quite motivated enough to step on the scale daily, though I still only record it on the same day each week), which helps me keep an eye on my weight and which way it's going. I still log my food. I know that doing these things will help stall a regaining of the weight. Since I know that, it helps my demons stay quiet about gaining the weight back... but they're not gone. |

Hi Lenore,
I've found another tactical way to keep the maintenance programme going strong and stay in touch with my long-term goals. I began rock-climbing last week. It's the kind of activity I could never have considered 8 months ago but now my lean, nimble, flexible and athletic body is really well suited to it. I am really enjoying it - it's utterly knackering and gives me a mega-workout - and if I want to continue enjoying it (and the social side of it because it's a lot of fun) then I have no choice but to keep in the shape I am now. Paula

I need a reality check every once in a while too. I look in the mirror and I don't see that I've lost weight. I look the same to myself. I have to remind myself that I am wearing pants four sizes smaller, and that yes, I really am that small. Like Shani, the only time I really see myself is when I catch a glimpse in a window or mirror and don't realize at first that it's me. Just keep telling yourself how much you have accomplished.
Be as you wish to seem. |
Wow, you guys are so on the ball (and beautifully said Lenore!)... I've found myself in these patterns and what I find helps is a current photo of myself. I forget that I look as good as I do. It is like that time I was in the airport and I caught my reflection in a window and was shocked at seeing a slender woman pulling her suitcase along and realizing it was me. I still tend to think of myself as much chunkier and focus on the parts of my body I don't like. Ugh... how silly. The truth of the matter is that we all have those body insecurities to some degree or another. So yes, I have the same issues, and a current photo makes a huge difference in combatting the feeling that I'm not doing well.
Shani I've backslidden... I reached my goal and was now maintaining, but now I need to lose 10 pounds and firm up.

Kathy - I can see how this could happen once we get to a point where we are simply maintaining and think we have stopped progressing. One thing that can help is setting new goals. That will help you to have something to aim for even though you are maintaining your weight. I have some long-term goals but I also have some medium-range ones too. I am no longer interested in losing weight but I am doing some precious body sculpting through some heavy lifting, just two days per week. Now, I know that kind of thing is not for everyone, but could be a different kind of change in your routine: you could decide to take up some sort of tai chi (a good way to get into your community as a missionary!) or maybe try a vegetarian diet for a month and see if you feel any different; or find some people to tell about SP and encourage them on their journey.
A fit and healthy life is not about maintaining, really. It's about learning how to always be changing while staying healthy! And, my sister, the best advice I can give you is to remember how you are seen by our Abba. Loved, adored, cherished and set apart for His work!! Blessed beyond blessings on this earth.

Paula - very well said...I think we all allow negative self-talk to creep in our heads.
Kathy - I've been going through the same thing off and on and I think all of us in this group have experienced similar problems. It's a battle we have to continue to fight and part of the whole maintenance journey. We're lucky to have others to support us and remind us we're not alone. We're also fortunate to have lots of tools and info here on Spark to keep us on the right track...practice the positive self-talk. Track your food to remind yourself how well you are doing at making good choices. (This helps me so much when I see that even on my worst days I am doing so much better nutritionally than when I started.)

Hi Kathy,
I think our minds contiuously play one trick or another and it just depends what's happening and where we are at emotionally as to what trick is happening and when. I use a range of mind tools and thinking patterns to make sure I choose useful and positive thinking to protect me from the negative ones. I believe it's really easy to slip into negative patterns and I need to notice them early when they happen so I can change things. As for body image - I keep a really strong image in my mind of what I'm aiming at. Really clear and familiar and really detailed. This is so I don't lose sight of exactly what I'm aiming for. Otherwise, like you, I can find I'm beating myself up for not being good enough - no matter how good I am or what I achieve. I think we sometimes accidentally move the goal posts without knowing it. I'm sure we've all done it in one way or another... you start wanting to be healthy and lose 10lb, but once you've done it then you decide you want to be fit AND healthy and this motivates you to lose another 10lb. Now you're on a roll, you decide you want to be fit and healthy AND look great, so you keep going and then (even though you've surpassed your original expectations and goals by miles and should be enormously proud of yourself) you then decide you want to GET INTO THOSE SKINNY JEANS YOU WORE WHEN YOU WERE 25 and you're used to reaching your goals so you're hell bent to do whatever it takes to make it happen. If it does happen, great, but it poses the question about where do we stop. If it doesn't (because by now you're setting ridiculous goals for yourself - no longer based on reality) when you don't make it you label yourself a failure. FAILURE! you've made huge positive changes, increased your life expectancy, radically changed our image and how you feel but now that you've failed you risk getting miserable about it and giving up and yep - you guessed it... start consoling y$ourself in just one treat, just another treat and before you know it ... you're back in the thinking patterns you started with. I find it protects me from all of that if I just keep in mind where I started, where I want to end up when I am make sensible goals that I can be proud to achieve. Paula
This is something that I have been struggling with recently. In my head I sometimes feel like I am back to the same weight I was when I started my diet. I think, "when are people going to start saying, 'when did you put all that weight back on?'" It's true I've added a couple of extra pounds and I know that I really don't look that way, but my mind plays tricks on me. Anyone else ever feel that way? I know its a mind game, but I don't like playing it!

It's hot, it's loud, but for those unwilling to sacrifice performance at any cost the Nvidia GeForce GTX 480 is the card to beat. Naturally however if one GTX 480 is great, two is even better right? That's what we thought when we came across leaked photos of the new ASUS Mars 2 featuring a pair of GeForce GTX 480 chips on a single card.
In terms of power consumption the images we came across revealed three 8-pin power connectors, and outputs for a single DVI, HDMI, and what looks like a display port. Fitting both of these massive chips onto a single PCB is a stunning accomplishment, but we can't wait to get a glimpse of the cooling solution if and when this thing ever comes to market. If it can successfully manage and channel that much heat, it will be nothing short of an engineering masterpiece.
Depending on the price, this could really put a dent in the market share for the new "Ares" 5970. Let's just say if you have $1,000+ in your upcoming GPU budget, you might want to hold off just a little bit longer to see how this story shakes out.
The current lineup of budget cards from both companies has never been better, but for those looking to indulge, it's about time we had a few worthwhile options.

Focusing primarily on non-canonical texts, this collection takes up the diversity of religious discourse in nineteenth-century women's literature and articulates how American women writers adopted the language of religious sentiment for their own cultural, political or spiritual ends. The contributors examine fiction, political and religious writings, memoirs, and poetry to reveal the complexities of lived religion in women's culture-both its repressive and its revolutionary potential.

Apple CEO Cook to give deposition in antitrust case
Apple CEO Tim Cook has been ordered to give a deposition in a lawsuit that claims Apple and other companies violated antitrust laws. The private lawsuit claims the companies — which also include Google, Intel, Adobe, Disney's Pixar, Intuit, and Lucasfilm — agreed not to recruit each other's employees. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh issued the order Thursday. According to a report, "Koh told lawyers yesterday that Apple founder Steve Jobs was copied on e-mails at issue in the case, and that she found it 'hard to believe' that Cook, as Apple's chief operating officer at the time in question, wouldn't have been consulted about such agreements."

This is also known as exfoliative dermatitis and the red man syndrome. It is not a specific disease and can be seen in both benign and malignant diseases. Idiopathic (unknown cause) cases may persist longer than other types.
These underlying dermatosis include such diverse conditions as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, pityriasis rubra pilaris, contact dermatitis, photosensitive conditions, pemphigus foliaceus, and bullous pemphigoid. Many drugs can also cause erythroderma, too numerous to list here. Most of these drugs are ingested orally but topical applications may sometimes may be implicated.
In spite of the dramatic clinical appearance the biopsy histopathology is of limited value and dependent upon the underlying condition eliciting the erythroderma. In cases associated cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, the biopsy is usually diagnostic. The pathologist must correlate the histology with the clinical appearance and may give an extensive differential diagnosis.
Erythroderma in children: a clinico-etiological study.Sarkar R, Sharma RC, Koranne RV, Sardana K.
Department of Dermatology and Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, India.
J Dermatol 1999 Aug;26(8):507-11 Abstract quote Although there are various published studies on erythroderma from western and Asian countries, most of them have only included patients in the adult age groups. As we have an exclusively pediatric dermatology unit, we thought it would be intriguing to study the clinical, etiological and laboratory parameters of erythroderma in children. Seventeen erythroderma patients of both sexes were inducted into the study between 1993 to 1998.
The mean age of onset was 3.3 years and the male:female ratio was 0.89:1. Eight (47%) of the patients were infants; 9 (53%) others belonged to the preschool and school going age group (age range between 1 to 12 years). An acute onset of the disease was seen in 47% of the patients while 53% of the patients had a chronic onset. The main presenting complaints were itching in 41% and burning in 18% of patients. Scalp involvement (71%), nail involvement (18%), and alopecia (6%) were the main cutaneous features observed while fever (53%), tachycardia (53%), pedal edema (12%), lymphadenopathy (18%), and hepatomegaly (12%) were the main systemic features observed in this study. Etiologically, drugs (29%), showed the highest incidence, followed equally (18%) by genodermatoses, psoriasis, and staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS). Two (12%) patients had erythroderma due to atopic dermatitis, while one was (5%) due to infantile seborrheic dermatitis coexisting with dermatophytosis. Laboratory parameters contributed little towards diagnosis of the underlying dermatological condition.
Thus, though erythroderma is a striking entity, it is yet uncommon in the pediatric age group. Because the drug induced group was the largest in this study, we recommend that drugs should be suspected as important causative factors of erythroderma in children.
The specificity of histopathology in erythroderma.
Zip C, Murray S, Walsh NM.
Department of Medicine, Victoria General Hospital, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
J Cutan Pathol 1993 Oct;20(5):393-8 Abstract quote Conflicting views about the diagnostic value of skin biopsy in the investigation of erythrodermic patients are extant. The objective of the present study was to establish the frequency with which a correct diagnosis can be based on histopathological assessment alone. This was achieved by comparison of the "blinded" microscopic diagnosis with the final diagnosis (based on combined clinico-pathologic parameters and response to therapy).
In a retrospective review of 56 skin biopsies from 40 patients with erythroderma, we found a positive correlation between the pathological diagnosis and the final diagnosis in 66%; furthermore, when the microscopic characteristics observed in different diagnostic categories were assessed, these proved to simulate those seen in conventional manifestations of the various underlying diseases but tended to be subtle in the setting of erythroderma.
We conclude that, despite the homogeneity of the clinical expression of erythroderma, diagnostic histopathological features of the underlying disease are retained in the majority of cases.
Histopathology in erythroderma: review of a series of cases by multiple observers.Walsh NM, Prokopetz R, Tron VA, Sawyer DM, Watters AK, Murray S, Zip C.
Department of Pathology, Victoria General Hospital, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
J Cutan Pathol 1994 Oct;21(5):419-23 Abstract quote This study examines the utility of objective histopathological studies in the evaluation of adult patients with erythroderma. A series of 56 skin biopsies, from 40 erythrodermic patients, was reviewed sequentially by 4 Canadian dermatopathologists who were unaware of clinical details of the cases.
The final diagnosis (gold standard), in each instance, had already been determined by others, based on clinicopathologic data and response to therapy. Direct comparison revealed that the mean accuracy of the histopathological diagnoses was 53% (range: 48-66%), a favorable result in view of the difficulty of the task at hand.
Additional points of information which evolved from the study are as follows: (i) identification, by microscopy alone, of spongiotic dermatitis, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and psoriasis, as underlying causes of erythroderma was more successful than that of drug eruptions and pityriasis rubra pilaris; (ii) the epidermotropism which characterizes cutaneous T-cell lymphoma may be mistaken for inflammatory interface changes seen in drug eruptions and vice versa, thus constituting a pitfall in diagnosis; (iii) finally, it appears that submission of multiple simultaneous biopsies, rather than a single specimen, from patients with erythroderma would be likely to enhance the accuracy of histopathological diagnosis.
Psoriatic erythroderma: a histopathologic study of forty-five patients.Tomasini C, Aloi F, Solaroli C, Pippione M.
Department of Dermatology, University of Turin, Italy.
Dermatology 1997;194(2):102-6 Abstract quote BACKGROUND: There are conflicting opinions about the diagnostic value of skin biopsy in erythrodermic psoriasis.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to establish the specificity of the histopathologic changes of psoriatic erythroderma.
METHODS: We reviewed 52 skin biopsies from 45 erythrodermic patients having a final diagnosis of psoriasis on the basis of combined clinical and laboratory data, in addition to response to therapy and follow-up. In 5 patients, erythroderma was the presenting sign of psoriasis. A control group of nonpsoriatic erythrodermic patients was also included in the study.
RESULTS: Among the group of patients with a discharge diagnosis of psoriatic erythroderma, the histopathologic changes were specific for psoriasis in 40 cases (88%). The changes of early macular and squamous lesions of psoriasis were more often found in the biopsy specimens of our series than those of fully developed or late lesions of psoriasis. They included mainly slight epidermal hyperplasia, focal disappearance of the granular layer, mounds of parakeratosis and extravasated erythrocytes within edematous dermal papillae associated with perivascular and interstitial infiltration of lymphocytes and histiocytes.
CONCLUSION: When features of early lesions of psoriasis are found during the evaluation of a biopsy specimen from a patient with a clinically nonspecific erythroderma, the dermatopathologist should be aware that this patient could have psoriasis and a renewed anamnesis and a close follow-up should be made.
- Erythroderma with lichenoid granulomatous features induced by erythropoietin.
Wolf IH, Smolle J, Cerroni L, Kerl H.
Department of Dermatology, University of Graz, Graz, Austria.
J Cutan Pathol. 2005 May;32(5):371-4. Abstract quote
The increasing use of new drugs in cancer therapy, especially growth factors, hormones, and chemotherapies resulted in several reports of unusual skin eruptions.
We studied a patient with erythroderma who had received erythropoietin because of myeloma with tumor anemia. The histological features were characterized by a lichenoid, focally granulomatous infiltrate with predominance of histiocytes.
It is important for dermatopathologists to recognize this interesting pattern induced by erythropoietin.
Histopathologic studies in Sezary syndrome and erythrodermic mycosis fungoides: a comparison with benign forms of erythroderma.Sentis HJ, Willemze R, Scheffer E.
J Am Acad Dermatol 1986 Dec;15(6):1217-26 Abstract quote Histologic sections from eleven patients with Sezary syndrome were reviewed and compared with those of four patients with erythrodermic mycosis fungoides and twenty-four patients with a benign form of erythroderma, including fifteen patients with chronic dermatitis, four with a generalized drug eruption, and five with an erythrodermic psoriasis.
The most important discriminating histologic feature in patients with Sezary syndrome was the presence of a monotonous bandlike or perivascular infiltrate in the papillary dermis, mainly composed of large cerebriform-mononuclear cells, as seen in seven of eleven Sezary syndrome patients. Pautrier's microabscesses were observed in seven of eleven Sezary syndrome patients, two of four patients with erythrodermic mycosis fungoides, but not in any of the patients with a benign form of erythroderma; their presence was therefore considered a reliable criterion in differentiating erythrodermic cutaneous T cell lymphoma from benign forms of erythroderma. However, features of chronic dermatitis were often found superimposed on those of Sezary syndrome and were even predominating in four of eleven Sezary syndrome patients. Moreover, four patients with a benign form of erythroderma showed a histologic picture suggestive of cutaneous T cell lymphoma.
Therefore, in dubious cases repeated skin biopsies, additional investigations of lymph nodes and peripheral blood, and careful follow-up are mandatory for the achievement of a correct diagnosis.
Erythroderma: a follow-up of fifty cases.Hasan T, Jansen CT.
J Am Acad Dermatol 1983 Jun;8(6):836-40 Abstract quote Fifty consecutive cases of erythroderma were studied. The mean onset age was 61 years, and thirty-three of the fifty were male. As a causative factor, a preexisting dermatosis was identified in twenty-one cases, topical sensitization to drugs in six cases, reaction to internal drugs in five cases, and mycosis fungoides in two cases. In sixteen cases a causative factor could not be disclosed.
A follow-up survey of the patients at a mean of 6 years after the start of the erythroderma indicated that seventeen patients had cleared completely, twelve patients had less symptoms than initially, and six suffered from undiminished erythroderma. Ten patients had died from causes unrelated to the erythroderma.
It is concluded that the underlying causes for erythroderma have remained rather unchanged during several decades, and that the majority of present-day erythroderma patients can expect a favorable prognosis.
Idiopathic erythroderma: a follow-up study of 28 patients.Sigurdsson V, Toonstra J, van Vloten WA.
Department of Dermatology, University Hospital, Utrecht, the Netherlands
Dermatology 1997;194(2):98-101 Abstract quote BACKGROUND: Erythroderma may result from different causes, but a proportion remains undetermined (idiopathic erythroderma). Patients with idiopathic erythroderma have often been regarded to have a pre-Sezary syndrome because some of these patients have developed a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma during follow-up.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate if this was true for our group and also if it is possible to identify further which patients are at high risk of developing cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
METHODS: We analyzed clinical and follow-up data and reviewed the skin histopathology of all patients who were diagnosed with idiopathic erythroderma in our clinic between 1977 and 1994.
RESULTS: Twenty-eight patients, 16 males and 12 females, were diagnosed with idiopathic erythroderma. This is 27% of the patients who were diagnosed with erythroderma in our clinic, during this period. During the median follow-up of 33 months, 35% of the patients went into complete remission and 52% showed partial remission. Three patients (13%), all females, had persistent chronic erythroderma. Two of the latter group progressed to cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, i.e. 1 to Sezary syndrome and 1 to mycosis fungoides.
CONCLUSION: Based on our results we conclude that only patients with persistent chronic idiopathic erythroderma, which is a minority, have an increased risk of developing cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and therefore need a close and long-term follow-up.

And it is more than just a nuisance as increasing heat waves in the eastern United States will kill thousands of people decades from now, a recent study concluded.
On a conference call by the advocacy group Natural Resources Defense Council, experts cited a number of different summertime annoyances that will worsen as global temperatures continue to rise.
Increasing carbon dioxide, for instance, fuels the growth of certain plants and poison ivy is one that responds really well to it, said Dr. Lewis Ziska, a plant physiologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture who has studied the impact of climate change for about 25 years. It also causes the plants to produce a stronger form of urushiol, the oil in the leaves of poison ivy that causes skin rash, he said.
Citing the conclusions of the recently released National Climate Assessment, of which she was a co-author, Dr. Kim Knowlton of Columbia University said the impact of climate change is already being felt.
"We used to think that climate change was happening to other people but now it is clearly happening to us," she said.
The increase in temperatures is allowing disease-carrying pests such as mosquitoes and certain ticks to spread to areas they have never been before and spreading those diseases as well, Knowlton said. There are already an estimated 300,000 people who contract tick-borne Lyme disease each year even with the ticks that carry it mostly confined to the Northeast, but that could change in coming decades as those ticks become more prevalent across the eastern U.S., she said.
People in the East will have bigger problems. According to a recent study in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, increasing heat waves in the region could kill thousands a year in coming decades. The authors estimate that heat waves could be 3.4 times to 6.4 times more prevalent by 2057-59 and deaths will be 7.5 times to 19 times higher, and would be highest in Southern states such as Georgia and Florida.
Depending on the model used, the number of deaths each year from heat waves would be 1,403 or 3,556 per year by 2057-59, according to the study.
"Increases in heat-related mortality are a concern in cities nationwide," Knowlton said.
More are thought to occur in Northern cities – a heat wave in Chicago in 1995 killed 700 people – because people there would be less acclimated to it, but it is no longer confined to those areas, she said.
"We are projecting that there will be (more) with greater average temperatures and (with) those longer-lasting heat waves it is going to be an issue nationwide," Knowlton said.
The greater concentrations of carbon dioxide that trap heat are also having curious effects on food, Ziska said. A recent study in the journal Nature found higher carbon dioxide made food starchier, with fewer nutrients and less protein, he said.
There is already a concern about air quality – about 145 million Americans live in areas where ground-level ozone or smog is a problem, Knowlton said. Augusta has already had one day this year when it exceeded permitted ozone levels, and it violated federal air quality standards three times in 2013, according the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division.
"If we don't take action soon to reduce the carbon pollution that causes climate change, soon summers won't be a picnic for many of us," Knowlton said.

New Scarpa climbing-friendly approach shoe and trekking boots debut in early 2014.
Fresh from the recent OutDoor show in Germany, here's what's new from top boot brand Scarpa for spring 2014 - it'll actually appear in the shops around February/March time. Highlights include a new three-season trekking boot with a glove-like fit and feel, a proper, full-on technical approach shoe and the return of the Zen...
The Zen's Back
Scarpa's original Zen approach shoe was a global best-seller, but was dropped from the UK range a couple of years ago. The good news for fans of the original is that it's back as the new, improved, Zen Pro for 2014. It gets a new sole unit, the Spider 2, featuring more aggressive tread with deeper lugs to keep your sunny side up on softer ground.
There's new EVA cushioning underfoot so it should be more comfortable on harder footing too. Other changes include new Sockfit technology, a one-piece Schoeller tongue that holds feet in place and stops sliding inside the shoe, particularly on descents. Finally the upper has lightweight 'Exoscale' rand protection. It'll retail for £129.99.
There's also a Gore-Tex lined fabric version, the Zen Lite - same chassis, but lighter synthetic upper and funky ziggy-zag graphics no less. See below for images.
New Zodiac Shoe
If you're after a seriously sturdy shoe that'll cope with via ferrata stuff, scrambling and technical approaches, check out the new Zodiac in fetching bright orange. It's effectively the bottom half of a B1-graded boot with a properly stiff sole unit complete with big, aggressive lugs and a serious protective rand making it ideal for stuffing into cracks.
It also uses the Sockfit technology and rockboot-type lacing for better hold and precison. Weight is 980g per pair and it'll retail for £144.99 - all the stability and support of a B1 boot but with better ankle mobility and reduced weight? Pass the crampons please...
New Trail Running Shoe
The new for 2013 Spark is one of our favourite trail-running shoes, with just enough cushioning combined with light weight, loads of underfoot flexibility and a low-ish, heel-to-toe drop. For 2014 it's joined by the Ignite a slightly heavier, more protective shoe with new, harder wearing, high-density rubber. It has 8mm drop compared to 6mm for the Spark and is around 70g per pair heavier at 610g per pair.
New R.Evolution GTX TRekking Boot
We tried a pair of the R.Evolution boots on for fit and they felt absolutely brilliant with an unusual, glove-like, foot-hugging sensation from the Sockfit technology used which wraps around your foot like a friendly octopus. It did feel seriously comfortable straight off.
The technology is a trickle down from Scarpa's more technical mountain boots like the Rebel Lite and uses a stretchy tongue give a brilliant, close but not tight fit. There's also a carefully engineered ankle flex zone - see images - which allows lots of mobility even though the area's decently padded. Underfoot there's an extra EVA wedge for cushioning.
At 1300g per pair in men's version, it's decently light too and has a nice, contemporary look to it. 'Pretty' say our notes... And £174.99.
All the above available in early 2014. Current range at www.scarpa.co.uk.

Battleship Texas Band Aids: Leaks Plugged With Glue and Tinfoil
The venerable Battleship Texas, moored in a cubbyhole off the Houston ship channel is back in action after alarming leaks in her rusty 99-year old hull last week threatened to sink her. Patched with $300,000 worth of aluminum plates (tinfoil compared with the ship's 12″ thick armor) and epoxy, the temporary patches have allowed the popular tourist attraction to re-open, as she waits for someone, anyone to come up with the estimated $100 million it would cost to permanently dry-dock her.
4 responses to "Battleship Texas Band Aids: Leaks Plugged With Glue and Tinfoil"
Surely there are 100 Navy vets who would come up with $1 million each for this project – Let's begin with Navy Hero George HW Bush and then there is John Kerry, can we name more……..?
$100M..this is an absurdly ridiculous number. Who/What source is this #?! I know we live in Texas and exaggeration is common, but this is assinine.
The source is the Wall St. Journal, which said: "Such a project, however, would cost $100 million, and the fundraising effort so far is some $70 million short." Later on on their piece on the Battleships' temporary repairs, they added this quote: '"It's a very costly undertaking," said Chris Johnson, a spokesman for the Naval Sea Systems Command, a division of the Navy charged with handling decommissioned ships.' When even the Navy thinks it's expensive, you know it's REALLY expensive!
While I'm commenting, let me add that the Battleship Texas is one of the more incredible artifacts I've seen, and this is coming from a non-naval, liberal, art-writer point of view. It should be preserved. If you have never been out to the San Jacinto Battleground and toured it, go soon, before it sinks!

I love the smell of the stacks at the Strand bookstore. I've noticed this odor a little less since they've renovated. Maybe a few years' worth of dust needs to settle, and it will be back to smelling the way it used to. And once a year in Williamsburg, for a few brief days when the linden trees on Bedford Avenue bloom, it's like a shower of fireworks over the whole neighborhood.

Silly and sweet girl, friend possible more.
About me: I am a teacher, shy, sweet, caring, silly, delightful, hard worker, smart, religious, and always 100% me. As of lately I have learned to be true to who I am, becoming more outspoken, living life as it is, and being passionate in all that I do. I enjoy going out to dine, seeing the city, and things I still want to do such as going to the museum, theater, travel, concert and anything that sounds like fun. I am not slender, I am not perfect, I am not the most beautiful girl but I am a bit stubborn, proud, pretty, curvy, and comfortable on my own skin. I am finding a new passion for music: I enjoy listening to all kinds of music, dancing in my room (not very good), and want to learn to play the guitar. I am hoping to meet someone who is a bit out going, would make me laugh, explore new places (there is so much I want to see), honest, caring, loving, family oriented, likes to dance, and just someone who can be my friend.

Meet Willow-a very hyper collie pup. Trying to get a photo of her was 'interesting'. I started lying down to get shots at her level but she just jumped on me or tried to chew my Black Rapid strap! Then I tried getting shots of her lying on the grass looking straight into the camera but lying down wasn't what she wanted to do. Eventually I got this shot by placing a dog chew treat into my mouth and then looking down at her whilst she looked upat the dog treat.

A Texas Democrat on Thursday called this year's state legislature the most misogynistic she's seen in her 21 years as a state representative, following a house vote that would have ended legal abortion care for pregnant Texans whose fetuses have medical anomalies that aren't survivable outside the womb.
The Illinois Senate passed a bill Wednesday that would require religiously affiliated hospitals that refuse to offer certain services to provide patients with accurate information about those procedures and where they are available.
A few weeks ago, I experienced an Internet first: a troll genuinely apologized to me for his behavior. What happened? I called him out by calling in his family members and his peers. By treating him like a human being, instead of an insult machine with a keyboard and Internet access.
A study published this week adds to the overwhelming body of evidence that shows there is no connection between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism spectrum disorders.
Efforts to promote breastfeeding as the best option for infants may have led some parents to believe formula is not a good option and to turn to the Internet to find someone else's milk, a practice the FDA says is unsafe.
Too often, news stories about people in prison or jail use dehumanizing language to describe those under government control. The term "inmate" is the most pervasive of these words; it is widely used by judges, prison and jail officials and staff, and the media.
Though it's hard to change the minds of those opposed to vaccinations, it seems possible that widespread instances of preventable diseases might be enough to sway some individuals.
The bill would require all licensed facilities in the state that "provide family planning and pregnancy-related services to inform patients about available assistance for affordable contraception, abortion, and prenatal care, including how to obtain that assistance."
Nigerian activists and citizens are demanding more action as the country marks the one-year anniversary of the abduction of more than 200 teenage school girls.
Beginning last year, advocates launched the International Day for Maternal Health and Rights on April 11 to ensure that combating the mistreatment women around the world face during pregnancy, labor, and childbirth becomes a matter of global importance.

Administrative region (German Land) in northwestern Germany, bordered to the north and northeast by Lower Saxony, to the east by Hesse, to the south by the Rhineland-Palatinate, and to the west by Belgium and the Netherlands; area 34,079 sq km/13,158 sq mi; population (2003 est) 17,986,700. A highly industrialized region, it contains the largest industrial concentration in Europe (Ruhr), with one of the largest mining and energy-producing areas in Europe. The capital is Düsseldorf, and other major towns include Cologne, Essen, Dortmund, Gelsekirchen, Münster, and Mönchengladbach.
Physical The region includes the valley of the Rhine, Teutoburger Wald (forest), and the Ruhr industrial district (Ruhrgebiet). The region is drained by the Rhine, Ruhr, Wupper, Lippe, and Ems rivers.
Economy North Rhine-Westphalia is the most industrialized and densely populated Land in Germany. It is the industrial heart of the country, particularly within the triangle extending from Bonn in the south to Hamm in the northeast and Wesel in the northwest. Heavy industry is concentrated in a vast conurbation north of Düsseldorf known as the Ruhrgebiet (or Ruhr for short, after its main river); this includes, among other centres, the cities of Essen, Duisburg, Bochum, and Dortmund. Iron and steel have been produced in the Ruhr since Germany's rapid industrialization from the late 19th century onwards; the Krupp and Thyssen industrial empires were established here. Also within the Ruhr are Germany's principal deep mines, in the coalfields around Gelsenkirchen, Gladbeck, and Oberhausen; elsewhere in North Rhine-Westphalia, notably at Ville to the west of Cologne, there are large deposits of brown coal (lignite), which are extracted by opencast mining. Another main employer operating within the state is the chemical industry; Bayer AG, an important producer of pharmaceuticals, plastics, dyestuffs, synthetic fibres, and fertilizers, has plants at Leverkusen, Uerdingen, and Wuppertal. Other manufacturing includes machines, processed foods, textiles, and clothing. More than half the region's total land ia occupied with commercial farming as well as gardens and orchards. Düsseldorf is a prosperous financial and commercial centre.
History For history before 1945, see Westphalia. The present state, which fell within the British occupation zone after the defeat of the Nazi regime in 1945, was created in 1946 out of the former Prussian province of Westphalia, the north of the former Rhine province, and Lippe. In 1949, the provisional federal capital was established in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the town of Bonn on the Rhine. The region had suffered massive damage to its industry during the war, but rose to prosperity again throughout the 1950s and 1960s.

The Bonus Culture Revisited: Legal and Ethical Dimensions of Economic RegulationIoannis GlinavosUniversity of Westminster - School of Law January 10, 2011 SLSA Conference, April 2011 Abstract: This paper contributes to discussions on responses to the financial crisis of 2008, focusing on the regulation of the bonus culture in the financial sector. The paper offers a theoretical critique addressing legal and ethical issues involved in regulating bonuses. It dissects arguments put forward by orthodox economists and legal scholars on the supposedly unassailable nature of private contracting. The paper considers the case for caps on compensation and for the regulation of payment structures in the financial sector from a jurisprudential and ethical point of view. The paper begins by presenting recent initiatives at EU level (CEBS Guidelines) and proceeds to consider arguments for and against the regulation of bonuses, focusing on the philosophical underpinnings of the case for extending regulation. The paper contributes to the literature on the relationship between law and economics in the context of regulating the economy by offering some clarity on issues that are of current practical concern, but that also have a significant jurisprudential dimension.

The Trenton boys played their best offensive half of the season on Tuesday night, scoring 42 points in leading the fourth-seeded Lawson Cardinals 42-40 at the half. Unfortunately for Trenton, the Bulldogs slumped in the third quarter, outscored 21-7, and the "Black and Gold", despite a fourth quarter rally, fell short in a 79-66 final from Bishop LeBlond High School. Tuesday night's game was broadcast on Hot Country Z 101.7 and www.kgozfm.com.Trenton's offense was paced by Colby Larson, who finished his four-year career with 18 points, while Austin Taul added 14 points (including three 3 point shots), Chase Tolson 11, and Seth Acton 10 points. Trenton finishes the season with a winning record for the first time under Coach Jeremy Austin, at 15-11.Lawson, in moving to 18-8 on the season, was led by Garrett Titus with 27 points, while Spencer Wood had 17 points (nine of those coming in the Cardinals' third quarter surge), and Blake Edwards with 16. The Cardinals advance to play the top-seeded Cameron Dragons in Friday night's semifinals in Class 3, District 16 at Bishop LeBlond.Other boys finals from TUESDAY night at St. Joseph were: Cameron 73, Hamilton 40; Maryville 75, Plattsburg 26; and Bishop LeBlond 48, Lathrop 35. Friday night's scheduled semifinals are Maryville vs. LeBlond and Lawson vs. Cameron.

Product Reviews
We needed a runner to be in front of our living room bookcases that coordinated with another area rug close by. The area rug is very artsy and colorful, and we looked a long time for a runner that would relate well with it. This one worked beautifully AND was 1/3 of the price of anything else that might have worked. It is very thick, cushy, and well-made, not to mention unique! Major winner here!

Does Saffron taste like plastic to anyone else? Saffron is better as a background flavor as in seafood stew, but let the other seasonings lead, like Pernod. Saffron is like cumin, when over-used a dish becomes unpalettable. |

Relations between Plant Community Characteristic and Soil Physicochemical Factors in Natural Wetlands of Binhai New District,Tianjin
HAO Cui1,LIANG Yao-Yuan1,MENG Wei-Qing2,LI Hong-Yuan1,Ma Chun1(1.Key Laboratory of Pollution Processes and Environmental Criteria,Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China,College of Environmental Science and Engineering,Nankai University,Tianjin 300071,P.R.China;2.College of Urban and Environmental Science,Tianjin Normal University,Tianjin 300387,P.R.China)
In recent years,research on the connection between plant community and soil factors have become the hot pot because of its important ecological significance.Most of the studies focused on mountainous Districts and forests,little has been conducted on wetlands.The wetlands of Binhai New District were studied in this paper because of its unique environmental characteristics.High salt content in the soil and plentifuls are the most important properties of this District.With large-scale development and construction,the natural wetlands of Binhai New District were decreased largely and rapidly,the survival of salt plants has been threatened.The research on salt plant community and local soil physicochemical factors has significant importance for wetland protection and restoration.The wetlands of Binhai New District were divided into four types:coastal wetland,river wetland,lake wetland and constructed wetland.Researches were focused on natural wetlands,especially river and lake wetlands,natural salt plants could hardly be seen in these Districts.Based on the investigation on plant community and soil physicochemical factors of Binhai New District using transects methods between July and September,2008,the relationship between plant community and soil factors in Binhai New District had been researched.Plant collection were adopted by important values,which were measured by 1 m×1 m quadrats.Soil physicochemical factors were measured by titrimetric methods,flame luminosity methods,alkaline hydrolysis diffusion methods,lixiviating methods and heating methods.Canonical Correspondence Analysis(CCA) was applied to draw and analyze the species-environment and samples-environment two-dimensional ordination diagrams.46 families,135 genera,232 species had been investigated,including 61 salt-tolerant species.According to water ecological type,the wetland plants divided into 4 subtypes:aquatic plants,humidogene plants,meso-xerophytism and xerophytism.Soil physicochemical factors could affect the characteristic of plant community in a complicated way in the analysis of the relationship between soil factors and plant community.The sorting among the 23 quadrates demonstrated that the position of different populations had close relations with soil physicochemical factors.Disparities between water content and salt content in the soil implied the most important factors in the formation of vegetation pattern of Binhai New District,available N content showed the second important factor,while pH,orgnic matter,available K and N were not so related with the vegetation pattern.The population positions and characteristic were determined by all these factors.The sorting of dominant species had similar results with quadrates,which proved that the dominant species patterns could decide patterns of population on some extent.

Another favorite translator—Allison Powell—has just launched Japanese Literature in English, a website that plays to all of my databasing and list making impulses.
japanese literature in english is a searchable database that compiles all literary works translated from japanese to english and available in the united states (with some exceptions). entries are still being added, and suggestions for inclusion are welcome.
You can search by author, title, translator, subject, publication date, and publisher, and can click on various tags, such as "japanese americans, fiction" or "jesus christ, biography" (which leads to exactly one title, Endo's A Life of Jesus).
Very helpful for those interested in finding out what's out there, and a nice way to make sure I don't miss too many Japanese books in the Translation Database. (Which, yes, I'm updating right now. This is a good week for mindless tasks like entering ISBNs, author names, titles, and whatnot. So expect an update soon.)
The prolific Spanish author Benito Pérez Galdós wrote his short novel, Tristana, during the closing years of the nineteenth century, a time when very few options were available to women of limited financial means who did not want a husband.. . .
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
