Do you stick to a certain number of calories on your 5 non fast days? if so what have your weekly/monthly losses been like? I am tempted to try the 5:2 plan but a part of me thinks I wont lose on it, I'm willing to give it a try but first I would really like to know what peoples calorie intake is on their 5 non fast days.
I have been doing a lot of searching and so far all I have found is for females to eat no more than 500 calories on their 2 fast days but I just cannot find a calorie limit for the non fast days. All I have found is to eat normally, but then I find myself asking "what's normal?" I'm not sure I really know?... if I did maybe I wouldn't have gained nearly 6 stone. One of the things I like about JUDDD is the calculator, knowing what my allowances. Even with me knowing my limit I find myself still going over so I don't think being told to eat 'normal' will work for me.
I found another forum dedicated to the 5:2 plan and they mention on there finding your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure). Once you have that, to get a loss of 1 lb per week eat 3500 less blah blah. So what I did, which I could have done it totally wrong! is: my TDEE is 1906, so I multiplied that by 7 then subtracted 3500 and subtracted another 1000 (for my 2 fast days) to leave me with my calories to eat over my 5 non fast days. It leaves me with about 1768 for my 5 non fast days. For 1.5 lb it would be 1418 for my 5 non fast days. Maybe I have done that wrong though.
Looking at those figures I could see me doing the 1768 on my 5 non fast days but I don't think I would do so great on 1400 calories a day on my 5 days - I think I might end up feeling like I'm on a low calorie diet - me and diets where I start to feel deprived do not mix, that's why I like JUDDD so much - I just can't help but be tempted to try 5:2.

Please don't smoke that thing while Tony's enjoying his cigar, Shia.
Tony Scott is rumored to be close to directing the adaptation of John Grisham's The Associate. From his successful "lawyers running away from things" series, The Associate is set to star Shia LaBeouf with The Departed's William Monahan on scripting duties.
This isn't confirmed yet and Scott has enough on his plate with Potsdamer Platz, Hell's Angels, and that Chippendales movie, so take the news with a grain of salt. I don't see why they really need a director for this project. John Grisham movies kind of just direct themselves. Do studios really need to pay millions upon millions of dollars to have someone say, "Okay Shia. What you're giving me right now is a light jog. I need a jaunt. Get them legs up. That's good. Okay. Now go get double-crossed by Gene Hackman." (LA Times)

Ask God for help
Ask God for help
Why did losing the election scare the Republicans so badly? They're on TV saying they should look into legalizing marijuana, supporting abortions and all other things. They don't understand their power; they have all the weapons, but don't know how to use them.
The GOP almost won, thanks to Christians, who are tired of the devil's control. If the GOP had asked God for support, it would have won.
This is like the story of Elijah. Here was one of the mightiest Old Testament prophets, who ran away from the wicked queen, Jezebel, because she threatened his life. Elijah said to God, "I am the only one who serves thee." God answered, "But seven thousand Israelites have refused to worship (Jezebel's god) and they will live."
Get back to basics. God is alive, he still cares and he'll do anything against evil.

Hair Care
Detangling Hair Care
By: Carrie Lennard, Euromonitor International
Posted: February 2, 2010, from the February 2010 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 2 of 3Private label hair care is still in its infancy in emerging regions (in Asia-Pacific, for example, it accounted for less than 1% of total brand shares in 2008), although it is starting to develop as multinational retailers continue to expand and consumers learn to trust these store brands. In India, for example, many retailers have recently introduced tiered pricing in private label (long favored by retailers in the West) to cater to a wider audience. In the majority of emerging countries, branded hair products from multinationals are still perceived as being of far higher quality than local brands. This explains the phenomenal success of sachet marketing in emerging regions. Sales of brands such as L'Oréal's Garnier have thrived in India thanks to sales of sachet products.
In developed regions such as Western Europe, private label is far more trusted among consumers. One of the main reasons for this is that the retail market is far more concentrated by chain stores. Companies such as Boots in the U.K. have spent a long time building trust among consumers of Boots-branded hair care ranges. This meant that as the recession hit, consumers felt far more comfortable switching to private label products associated with these kinds of retailers.
Colorants; At-home Perms Get Boost
It is not entirely doom and gloom for the retail hair care industry in developed markets. Colorants and at-home perm kit sales have been thriving. Visits to the hairdresser were one of the first things to be cut from the budget of many consumers, and salons have been forced to offer discounts to consumers in order to maintain foot traffic—a tactic that has not entirely prevented many women from choosing to color their hair at home. As a consequence, the colorants category, previously one of the less dynamic areas of hair care, according to Euromonitor (with a compound annual growth rate of under 1% from 2003–2008 in Western Europe), has transformed into a hive of new product development activity and renewed consumer interest. Many of the new launches center on products being marketed as salon alternatives or root touch-up between hairdresser visits. Sales of products such as Clairol's Root Touch-up and Root Rehab by Kelly Van Gogh have increased among heavily indebted consumers in markets like the U.S.
Shift Toward Milder Colorants
The other major current trend in colorants currently is ammonia-free. L'Oréal launched ammonia-free hair colorant Inoa in Western Europe in September 2009.
Although no-ammonia colorants are nothing new, the product claims to achieve the same results as products that do contain the chemical. The range is professional; it will be sold for at-home use too in the future. One of the main reasons for the trend is more stringent regulations in Western Europe governing hair colorants, announced in October 2009. The new laws require hair colorants that contain oxidative ingredients to be labeled that they can cause severe allergic reactions. These risks scare some consumers and provide an incentive for manufacturers to reformulate their products in order to avoid having to print the warning on their packaging. This change in the law, coupled with the increased consumer demand, means that more innovation is likely to come in 2010.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Gov Rick Scott named his own General Counsel, Jesse Panuccio, on Thursday to head the state Department of Economic Opportunity.
Panuccio replaces Hunting Deutsch, who resigned Monday after it was revealed he collected unemployment benefits while taking several trips across Europe.
Scott had said Deutsch's decision to step down was for the best of the state because the department he ran should be focused on pairing Floridians with jobs.
Panuccio is a graduate of Harvard Law School and joined the Scott administration in early 2011 as deputy general counsel. He was elevated to general counsel in 2012. In Panuccio's career with the Executive Office of the Governor he has helped coordinate litigation and legal policy across state agencies, advised the governor on over eighty judicial nominations and served as the governor's chief ethics officer.
Panuccio will continue his role as the governor's general counsel through Jan. 7. He will be replaced by 15th Circuit State Attorney Peter Antonacci, who already has a long career in public service. He has been Florida's Statewide Prosecutor, and before that was an assistant state attorney in the Second Judicial Circuit.
From 1991 to 1997, Antonacci was deputy attorney general for then-Attorney General Bob Butterworth. He also served on numerous judicial nominating commissions, as well as the Florida Commission on Ethics.
Antonacci was already appointed by Scott to fill the unexpired term of state attorney in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit.
While in private practice, Antonacci continued to be involved in high-profile cases as a lawyer and lobbyist. In 2002, he represented then-Gov. Jeb Bush's daughter who was facing charges of prescription fraud.

I am a forum junkie. If there is a forum about something I am interested in, then I am there. I participate in forums for my remote-controlled vehicle addiction, for my new cycling addiction, for the eagerly anticipated massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) "The Old Republic" and, of course, for various topics in podiatry. I am more of a spectator with professional forums. I prefer to read and learn from others rather than participate in these forums.
Recently though, I felt obliged to partake in a professional forum that discussed a topic that hit close to home. Last year, my aunt had a massive stroke. Thankfully, she rehabilitated very well and is lucky to be alive. She has intermittent issues with spasticity in her affected limb. Some of her doctors thought serial botulinum toxin (Botox, Allergan) injections might help with this.
My aunt did not like the idea of doctors sticking her with needles simply to test a hypothesis. I explained that it might help her deal with the uncomfortable intermittent spasticity but ultimately her doctors decided against it.
Shortly after this, I came across a discussion on an international podiatry forum about cerebral palsy. The forum discussed how casting is the order of the day for long-term cerebral palsy management. Someone on the forum suggested using serial botulinum toxin injections to potentiate the effect of the casting in reducing deformity. This sparked a conversation about the frequency of injections, the amount to be injected and finally the efficacy of the injections themselves.
This got me thinking of the simple serial casting procedures I have performed in the past. Many of these not only did not respond well to the serial casting but eventually reverted back to their pre-casting spasticity and progressed in deformity. I may be behind the times but I had never considered trying serial botulinum toxin injections to potentiate the serial casting.
I started doing some of my own research and found a study by Kay and colleagues, which someone later cited in the thread on the podiatry forum.1 Interestingly, there is research available that suggests using botulinum toxin for spasticity in kids with cerebral palsy. However, this article concluded that botulinum may actually counteract the effect that one is trying to stimulate with the serial casting. Maybe I was not so behind the times after all. It is possible that my aunt's doctors read this article and decided against the protocol they initially recommended.
One theme that does emerge with this topic is the long-term data available as to the efficacy of serial casting, serial casting and botulinum, or even surgical intervention for this and whether there is a permanent "fix" for these patients. I can tell you that more often than not, when conservative care fails or patients regress, they end up in the OR for a Murphy procedure (a type of tendo-Achilles advancement) with gastroc recessions.
If anyone has experience with this topic or has ever encountered some anecdotal evidence, I would love to hear from you. Any input would be great.
1. Kay RM, Rethlefsen SA, Fern-Buneo A, Wren TA, Skaggs DL. Botulinum toxin as an adjunct to serial casting in children with cerebral palsy. J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2004; 86-A(11):2377-84.

UPDATE: The state of Iowa has partnered with a tech company to let some businesses pay taxes using the online application Dwolla.
Dwolla � the name is a combination of �dollar� and �web� � is a Des Moines-based e-commerce company that charges a flat rate of 25 cents for every transaction of more than $10. Traditional credit card companies typically charge a percentage rate of the transaction.
To start, the state is accepting Dwolla payments only from the 50 or so businesses that account for $150 million in cigarette stamp taxes the option of using Dwolla, but could expand the service in the future to other taxes.
�We�re looking at this for other areas as well,� Gov. Terry Branstad said during a Tuesday news conference where he was joined by Dwolla founder and CEO Ben Milne and Iowa Department of Revenue Director Courtney Kay-Decker.
�Right now, the cigarette tax system is paid for on an entirely paper basis, so it�s a slow process for taxpayers, and it�s a slow process for us,� Kay-Decker said. �We are confident that this is just the tip of the iceberg for the Department of Revenue, and we believe this will be a payment option that comes for all taxpayers.�
As of April 2012, Dwolla had 100,000 users of its application and 15,000 businesses accepted payments through its system, said Jordan Lampe, director of communications for the company.
The partnership doesn�t involve any type of exclusivity contract, nor did either side pay the other for the opportunity. Branstad said it was �just another option� being made available to taxpayers.�This partnership is about creating a more sustainable, responsive, and convenient business climate for the state and its taxpayers, both today and tomorrow,� Milne said.

We have just moved the GIMP registry to a new data-center. If you notice anything odd after the move, please let me know in the comments!
Again is possible to hide links in comments ,and immediately spammers pop out again to post their referral hidden links.
IF you think better allow again similar links at least please, make in a way they are automatically underlined, so easier to spot and delete
Underline is good also for make more visible the "good " links
From my previous message i deleted 3 spam plus i removed the links from other 2 suspected but not certain spammer
Before was rare more then once in a day
In my opinion, regardless of the number of posts a member might have, it only takes one post with spam links to make them a spammer.
If the links they enter in their posts have no relationship to GIMP (plug-ins or scripts), I delete them. I also take into consideration the timeline of membership, most spammers are always brand new members and the content of their posts are either duplicitous and vague (or direct copies of other posts).
I have other thoughts regarding this but will not air them on the Registry. If you want to know more, feel free to contact me via my email address in my profile.
I just signed up I got this MySQL warning message:
user warning: Unknown column 'extra' in 'field list' query: SELECT cid, filter, style, status, scan, extra FROM spam_custom WHERE status != 0 ORDER BY weight ASC in /var/www/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 174.
Just thought I would let you know :P
I am back to being flagged as a potential spammer for any post that contains a link, having to enter the godawful unreadable mollom captcha. Not sure if this is related to the server move, or more of mollom hating me...
-Rob A>
It might be possible, although unlikely, that one of your posts were flagged inadvertently (long time ago) with Mollom, thereby triggering the captcha, more recently.
It's just a guess, since I have no idea how Mollom tracks users (username or IP?).
Hopefully Ingo can resolve this quickly.

The first inhabitants of the lands around Newtownards were estimated to have arrived here from Europe around 7,500 years ago.
The first farmers arrived around 5000 years ago from what is now Brittany in France.
These were the people who left the so called "Giants Graves" behind,. large stone cairns and burial places.
The Kemps Stones at Greengraves near Scrabo Hill are an excellent example.
After 1630, Scottish migration to
Ireland waned for a decade. Indeed, in the 1630s, many Scots went home after King Charles
the Prayer Book of the Church of England on the Church of Ireland, thus denying the Scots their form of worship.
In 1638, an oath was imposed on the Scots in Ulster, 'The Black Oath', binding them on no account to take up arms against the King.
Insulted twice, many returned to Scotland.
Even worse, in October 1641, the native Irish broke out in armed rebellion, slaughtering defenceless men, women and children.
The survivors rushed to the seaports and many went back to Scotland. In the summer of 1642,
Ten thousand Scottish soldiers, many Highlanders, arrived to quell the Irish rebellion. Thousands stayed on in Ireland,
replacing those who had departed thus expanding the Ulster gene pool to encompass families from all over Scotland.

The rest of the Prince's groomsmen, or "page boys" as they are called in England, will include: Master William Lowther-Pinkerton, son of Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, who has been Prince William's private secretary since 2005, and Tom Pettifer, who is the Prince's godson and will be his second page boy. The eight-year-old's mother is Tiggy Pettifer, who was the Prince of Wales' personal assistant in the 1990s.
Kate's bridesmaids will include Lady Louise Windsor, the daughter of the Earl and Countess of Wessex, as well as the Prince's cousin, and the Hon. Margarita Armstrong-Jones, who is the daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Linley and the second cousin of the Prince. Grace Van Cutsems will also be a bridesmaid. The Prince is her godfather, and Grace's Uncle Edward was one of Prince Charles' page boys when he married Diana in 1981. Last but not least, three-year-old Eliza Lopes will be a bridesmaid as well. Eliza is the daughter of Laura Lopes, the Prince's stepsister and the daughter of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
As the best man, Prince Harry will be responsible for planning his brother's stag party, also known as his bachelor party. We can only imagine what young Harry will come up with it.

The Basic Principles of the Opening and the Middle Game
In the opening phase (the fuseki), there will be perhaps 50 to 100 candidates for a plausible move, with numerous different responses, so the expert go player needs some principles to guide him in finding the best move. This book aims to present those basic strategic principles. The 20 principles presented here will lay the foundations for the study of opening theory in general as well as the currently popular opening systems, such as the Sanrensei Opening, the Chinese Opening, etc., presented in other volumes of this series. The second volume in the series "The Road Map to Shodan" pub. Sept 2015.(146 pages, 216g, 15 x 21 cm)find out more
The Basics of Life and Death
Most Go players appreciate the value of improving one's tactical and reading skills by solving live-and-death and tesuji problems. This book is a systematic introduction to life and death for beginner players. Part One starts out by presenting all the basic eye spaces, then shows how three basic tesujis (the hane, the placement, and the throw-in) are used to reduce the eye space of a group to one eye, then to kill that group. The second part is a life-and-death dictionary that presents 177 basic positions that often arise from josekis or common middle-game skirmishes in the corners and along the sides. As such, it is an invaluable reference work that deserves a place in every go players' library. The third volume in the series "The Road Map to Shodan" pub.

Handicap-Go strategy & the Sanrensei Opening
The study of handicap go is the natural way to learn how to build thick positions, then to turn the influence of these positions into territory. The handicap stones are placed high on the fourth-line star points, so the black player is forced to think globally. Eventually, the novice will find himself playing Black without a handicap. The easiest way to make the transition from handicap games to even games is to adopt the Sanrensei Opening. In this opening, Black occupies three star points on one side of the board, so the basic strategy of playing for influence used in handicap games is the same. By adopting this opening and executing the strategies outlined in this book, your stronger opponents will learn to respect your moves. The first volume in the series "The Road Map to Shodan" pub.

Make Campus Connections
Did You Know?
Six in ten students who enter the California Community College system as freshmen drop out or lower their academic sights after just one semester because they fail to get the help they need. To keep students coming back, encourage them to take advantage of the student support services available to them. Whether they need academic counseling, tutoring, financial aid, or a job, many students don't realize they can get the help they need right on campus.To increase student success and retention rates…try this activity.
Here's how…
- Ask students to stand, listen, and respond to your instructions.
- If you have spent time studying in the campus library, remain standing.
- If you can explain to another student 2 reasons to visit the financial services office on campus, do not sit down.
- If you have visited the campus career center, keep on standing.
- If you can direct another student to the college job board, stay on your feet.
- If you know where to go to get help in math or English, remain standing.
- If you can write down the directions to the college transfer center, do not take your seat.
- If you can share one campus resource to use to find an internship, remain vertical.
- If you belong to a campus club or have participated in a campus volunteer activity, stay standing.
- If you can identify a campus event that will take place this month, continue standing.
- If you can tell a person already seated why a student would join Alpha Gamma Sigma, you really are a winner!
- Explain that you did this exercise to find out how many students know about the great student support services on campus.
- Emphasize that these services are no cost or low cost and readily available to all students.
- Ask students to describe services they have found helpful.
- Provide a list of student services on your campus.
Above and Beyond!
Distribute the Student Activity and ask them to complete it before your next class meeting. Then when your class convenes, have students share the connections they were able to make.

Bone mineral density test
A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are in an area of your bone.
This test helps your health care provider detect osteoporosis and predict your risk of bone fractures.
Alternative Names
BMD test; Bone density test; Bone densitometry; DEXA scan; DXA; Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry; p-DEXA
How the test is performed
Bone density testing can be done several different ways.
The most common and accurate way uses a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. It uses low-dose x-rays. You receive more radiation with a chest x-ray.
There are two different types of DEXA scans:
- Central DEXA. You lay on a soft table, and the scanner passes over your lower spine and hip. Usually, you do not need to undress. This scan is the best test to predict your risk of fractures.
- Peripheral DEXA (p-DEXA). These smaller machines measure the bone density in your wrist, fingers, leg, or heel. You may find these machines in doctor's offices, pharmacies, shopping centers, and health fairs.
How to prepare for the test
If you are or could be pregnant, tell your health care provider before this test is done.
How the test will feel
The scan is painless. You will need to remain still during the test.
Why the test is performed
Bone mineral density (BMD) tests are used to:
- Diagnose bone loss and osteoporosis
- See how well osteoporosis medicine is working
- Predict your risk of future bone fractures
You should have bone mineral testing or screening if you have an increased risk for osteoporosis. You are more likely to get osteoporosis if you are:
- A women over 65
- A man over age 70
Women under age 65 and men ages 50 - 70 are at increased risk for osteoporosis if they have:
- A broken bone caused by normal activities, such as a fall from standing height or less ("fragility fracture")
- Chronic rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, eating disorders
- Early menopause (either from natural causes or surgery)
- History of hormone treatment for prostate cancer or breast cancer
- Significant loss of height (See: Compression fractures of the back)
- Smoking
- Strong family history of osteoporosis
- Taking corticosteroid medications (prednisone, methylprednisolone) every day for more than 3 months
- Three or more drinks of alcohol per day on most days
Normal Values
The results of your test are usually reported as a "T score" and "Z score."
- The T score compares your bone density with that of healthy young women.
- The Z score compares your bone density with that of other people of your age, gender, and race.
In either score, a negative number means you have thinner bones than the standard. The more negative the number, the higher your risk of a bone fracture.
A T score is within the normal range if it is -1.0 or above.
What abnormal results mean
Bone mineral density testing does not diagnose fractures. However, along with other risk factors you may have, it helps predict your risk of having a bone fracture in the future. Your doctor will help you understand the results.
- A T score between -1 and -2.5 indicates the beginning of bone loss (osteopenia).
- A T score below -2.5 indicates osteoporosis.
Treatment recommendations depend on your total fracture risk.
What the risks are
Bone mineral density uses a little bit of radiation. But most experts feel that the risk is very low compared with the benefits of spotting osteoporosis before you break a bone.
Special considerations
Simple bone density scans using portable machines may be available as part of health fairs or screenings. These portable scanners may check the density of your wrist or heel. However, keep in mind that hip and spine scans are more reliable.

Residents of a Christian village in western Syria have taken shelter in a convent as it was bombarded by al Qaeda-linked rebels.
The rebel fighters stormed a hotel atop a mountain overlooking Maaloula to carry out the attack, said a nun, speaking on condition of anonymity from a convent in the village.
"It's a war. It has been going from 6am in the morning," she said.
Some 80 people took refuge in the convent, which houses 13 nuns and 27 orphans.
The dawn assault was carried out by rebels from the al Qaeda-linked Jabhat al Nusra group, according to a government official and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based opposition monitoring group.

In a country where prior to the invasion by the Al-CIAeda rebels, all religious groups lived in peace. But wait, I thought Syria under Assad was evil?
The false flag chemical attack wasnt enough to get people outraged, so they've moved onto plan B: trying killing some Christians.

And just think of all the good Christians in our government that wants to help Al Qaeda kill other Christians. Maybe it's time to get these people a bible.

Family fun day in memory of Dave Roberts and his daughter, Sophie
Posted: May 29, 2014|
Former Leicester City striker Alan Young and boxing heroes Rendall Munroe and Tony Sibson went along to a charity family fun day.
It was held in memory of Dave Roberts, 44, and his daughter Sophie,19, who both died from cancer only eight weeks apart.
The charity day took place on Sunday in Garden Street Park, Thurmaston, followed by an evening event at Thurmaston Conservative Club.
About £2,000 was raised for Loros, Leicester Royal Infirmary children's ward and the Our Space Appeal, a project that aims to transform the children and young people's cancer unit on ward 27 at Leicester Royal Infirmary.
Attractions included bands, small fairground rides, Mickey and Mini Mouse, Shetland pony rides, and face painting.
Event organiser Dean Roberts, who was Dave's cousin, said: "It turned out to be a fantastic day."

Hello friends
I should stress that I've been interested in e20 since I first heard (which the Kickstarter project was still open) and have been tracking it, albeit passively, since. Honestly, I haven't had an active presence, as there was little need (for me) to get involved when I couldn't offer any real input. Up till recently, I had no gaming group of any sort to even propose running a playtest for.
Anyway, today I stopped by to visit and freshen up with the threads, and I noticed that the e20system page has been changed. That is, [url]e20system.com[/url] redirects to http://www.gmsarligames.com/e20/ This isn't really a big deal, and I like the new design, but it leaves me wondering some things. The old e20 info pages don't seem to be accessible from a link through the new site (although they still exist and can be reached through the url. Also, with the new webpage, the e20Lite PDF isn't accessible directly. (But is through the old URL).
Now, I've noticed that the forum activity has slowed down quite a bit from when it first started, which is perfectly understandable, but I'm still stumped as to its progress.
So, what's going on with e20? Has the system reached a bit of maturity? Is it possible that a new e20Lite PDF is going to be pushed out soon?
Thanks in advance!

I was very excited to see that a Demetrios restaurant was moving into the neighborhood. They were taking over a building previously owned by a Friendly's restaurant. Friendlys had a nice staff, once I took my father there for his birthday and I had arranged for them to sing Happy Birthday three different times during his party. The last time a baseball team that was sitting there joined in. Ahhh, good times, great ice cream.
Anyhow, I watched with anticipation as the renovations to the building began and things were coming together rather quickly.
Then one evening the parking lot was filled with cars, all debris was gone, the lights were on, and people were inside. I was excited as ,y daughter and I pulled into the parking lot, We got as far as the front door which had a sign posted that said Private Party.........
In order for us to go to a Demetrios at that time I had to drive to Bradenton, which while not exactly far, it was far enough.
Finally they were open about a week later to the public.
My daughter and I went in. Here are the pros and cons as we saw them.
PROS Friendly wait staff.....no I don't mean they kept Friendly's wait staff, I mean they were friendly. Excellent Food...yes excellent....no other way to say it. Cooked perfectly , which means I didn't have one negative thing to say about it. Very clean and functional place. Nice Italian ambiance, but not overdone.
CONS I was served my pasta in an overlarge stainless steel bowl , which made me feel like I was eating out of my dogs dish. It was twice the size it needed to be, so of course I was self conscious that everyone thought I was eating a ton of food.
And now, my one complaint that I have always had with this franchise.
Poor planning and arrangement of the tables.
I don't know if it is the design of the franchise or what, but the layout is terrible , you can't squeeze between tables when its full. Last, but not least, you cannot have a conversation about anything there, because you are elbow to elbow with other patrons, and you will hear their words, and they will hear yours.
Definitely not a first date place.

Great value! Large cross stitch projects require wide fabric which is often difficult to find. Having no creases is wonderful.
Yes, I recommend this product.

had to buy this while was on sale. It was very excellent price and i can afford. i use aida for my projects.
I have ordered the roll of Craftways Aida Cloth in both 11 count and 14 count. The fabric is nice as it is not folded, and I can use it for making larger cross stich pictures. I find it is very good quality material.
I was impressed by the quality and quantity that I received of this cloth. It's easy to work with being the 1st time I'm getting away from the kits and starting from scratch, using my own patterns and ordering the floss I need. Also the 1st time I've gotten away from the stamped cloth and am going solely by a pattern book. I thought it would be so hard but by doing the stamped clothes for so long I naturally was able to catch on to the counted cross stitch with a little extra concentration.
A bunch of cute stuff
I am very very pleased that my purchase of the Aida cloth has come . Can't wait to start my new projects Sincerely Susana velasquez
I have always purchased cross stitch fabric local until lately. Shops no longer carry it by the yard and I need the bigger pieces for my projects. Thank you for carrying and selling by the yard Counted Cross Stitch fabric of excellent quality. I will continue to purchase from you until you stop selling it or I can no longer sew!
This was a very good price for 2 yds of Aida Cloth, but I discovered a major flaw in the fabric after I had cut and started my project. Luckily the flaw was near the edge of the pattern, but I was very disappointed.

Handcuffed and in the back of a police transport vehicle, a teenager is being transported to jail. Upon arrival at the lockup, two police officers approach the rear of the vehicle and open the doors to move the suspect to booking. One officer shouts to the suspect, "Come here!" As the teenage suspect makes his way out the back the same officer gives him the order, "Stand out here with us, you lying piece of shit."
The teenager, now standing just outside the rear entrance of the vehicle, is subject to another search. The officers begin to roll down his jacket behind his back, then without warning or provocation, officer Rory Bruce lunges towards the teenager and violently assaults him with a forearm blow to the face.
The whole incident was video recorded with a camera mounted in the back of this police vehicle. The video positively shows officer Bruce assault the teen suspect, and later trying to cover up his actions by saying, "I told you I wanted to search you and you came out of the thing and started lunging at me."
The video clearly shows that the handcuffed suspect never lunged at anyone, nor made any threatening moves prior to Bruce throwing a flying elbow to the teen's face.
The two officers involved, Rory Bruce and Jacob Fowler, were fired for this incident and Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce moved forward and pressed 3rd degree assault charges against officer Bruce.
Now this is where things take an interesting turn.
The video itself is more than enough evidence to convict officer Bruce of assault, but in order to allow the video to be submitted as evidence, the video would have to be authenticated by someone who had personal knowledge of the events. That means that either the teen suspect or one of the police officers would have to acknowledge its authenticity.
The prosecutor unsuccessfully tried to place the teenager on the stand, but he invoked his 5th amendment rights. When officer Bruce was questioned about the video he also invoked his 5th amendment right against self-incrimination. This left just officer Fowler, who was forced to take the stand by a judge's order. Fowler, apparently clinging to the Code of Silence, claimed that his recollection of the events differed from what was on the video.
After hearing Fowler's statement regarding the video, Judge Theresa Counts Burke ruled that he couldn't authenticate the video either. Therefore, Burke refused to allow the video of the assault to be entered as evidence, and acquitted officer Bruce of the assault charges.
This case causes me to question whether police officers should have 5th amendment rights against self incrimination.
By definition, a police officer is an agent of the government entrusted and empowered to enforce the law. It is a position of power and responsibility. A police officer's duties can include saving lives as well as taking lives.
Because this position carries such a high level of power and responsibility, police officers should also be held to a higher standard. An officer who commits a crime while performing their duties should be held accountable for their actions, and any punishment for said actions should be more severe than that of a private citizen.
Holding police officers to a higher standard would include revoking their 5th amendment right to self incrimination for any acts performed while on duty, or in any official act as an agent of the law. Anyone who's primary role is to enforce the law and bring other law breakers to justice should not be afforded the opportunity to impede the justice system when they are accused of a crime or official misconduct.
Maybe I sound harsh when I say that police officers should have less Constitutional rights than ordinary citizens, but police officers aren't ordinary citizens. Ordinary citizens have a 5th amendment right against self incrimination, but police officers shouldn't be afforded this right while acting in their official capacity.
And in a final note from a non-lawyer person (me), I'm surprised that the video in the above case wasn't admissible as evidence. Bruce was on trial for the events that happened in the video, and invoking his 5th amendment right when questioned about the video's authenticity should have logically been ruled as him admitting the video was accurate.

It's been a while since I highlighted a new Windows Phone app I'm enjoying but the new Bloomberg app for Windows Phone is worthy of post. It's exclusively for Nokia Lumia phones and is free to users of those phones. That's impressive given the amount of work that appears to have gone in to this app.
It's a comprehensive tool for the business professional on the go but also the savvy consumer who wants to keep up with the latest news and track the markets. The level of customization means it can adapt well to my needs which center around tech news, a few stocks and world news. Though I haven't had chance to explore, the app also includes audio and video content from Bloomberg TV and Bloomberg Radio – which means Charlie Rose on the go!
Download the app by scanning this QR code with your Lumia (full instructions if you need them)

Soldiers back to hugs, tears and kisses
Posted: September 05, 2012|
It was the echo of the marching boots resounding off the barracks walls that did it.
Until then, there had been composure among the colourful waiting ranks of families. But when the steady tread sounded and the disciplined lines of men reached the parade ground, the tears flowed.
Corunna company, 3rd Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment came home from Afghanistan to Wiltshire soil at Battlesbury Barracks, Warminster, last night and fell into the arms of loved ones.
Waiting relatives stood stoically until Major Ed Colver, officer commanding, gave the order: "To your families, fall out."
That was the signal for wives, girlfriends, children, mums, dads and dogs to race across the Tarmac.
But this was a homecoming tempered by tragedy. The company lost six men during their latest six-month tour of Helmand Province in one terrible explosion last March. All present at Battlesbury were feeling the loss as they celebrated others' safe return.
Addressing his men, Major Colver said: "It has been an extremely tough tour. Be assured that we will remember those who have fallen, but today this is about those who return." He added: "All of you should be extremely proud of what you have achieved," and exhorted "every single one" of gathered relatives to look after his men when they got home.
Among the reunions, one was especially poignant. Five years ago Sally Veck lost her 19-year-old Army medic daughter Eleanor Dlugosz, who grew up at Wellington in Somerset. She was on hand as "stand in mum" to welcome home Eleanor's best friend, fellow medic Victoria Bruce, 23. The proud mum blinked back tears as she hugged the young woman and said: "I am so delighted to be able to stand in as Vicky's mum today. She is in Scotland and cannot be here. Five years ago on April 5, 2007, I lost my daughter and we have stayed the best of friends."
Jade Fennell, 21, from Dewesbury in Yorkshire, and Lynn Eyles, 33, also from Yorkshire, could not wait to meet their fiancés. Jade will marry Gunner Lewis Dixon, 24, in three weeks' time and Lynn will marry Sergeant John Bidski, 36, on October 6.

Carnahan Recovers $574,000 for Senior Investors from Insurance Company
Jefferson City, MO Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan today announced that $574,000 will be returned to more than 100 investors, many of them seniors, who suffered losses after their savings were mishandled by a former Bankers Life and Casualty Company insurance agent, James Otto.
According to the cease and desist order, Otto, of Overland Park, Kan., provided brokerage services for customers of Bankers Life and gave advice on how to manage their securities investments held at other firms. Otto was not registered to sell securities or give investment advice, as required by Missouri law, but that did not stop him from promoting these services to his fellow agents at the insurance company.
In a complex scheme, Otto allegedly liquidated more than $7,100,000 in securities investments from 180 customer accounts and moved most of these funds into fixed or equity indexed annuities sold by Bankers Life. To do this, Otto set up new accounts for clients at discount brokerage firms, gave himself power of attorney, and transferred the investments to these brokerages. He immediately liquidated the accounts and moved the investments into annuity products that earned commissions for Otto and his coworkers.
According to the order, Ottos clients knew he was moving their money, but they often ended up in unsuitable investments. Approximately half of the investors paid the high surrender fees required to get their savings out of the annuities sold by Otto or the other agents that used his services.
"All too often, seniors are sold complex equity indexed annuities just so a salesman can profit, and that is wrong," Carnahan said. "I will continue to crack down on agents and companies who make unsuitable annuity sales, especially those that target Missouris seniors."
In addition to the cease and desist order, a separate consent order requires Bankers Life to pay restitution to investors in excess of $574,000, which consists of the commissions paid to Bankers Life agents, interest, and surrender fees incurred by the investors. Further, Bankers Life has agreed to waive any surrender fees in the future for any investors who purchased products through Ottos operation. Bankers Life will pay $214,000 to the Missouri Investor Education and Protection Fund.
Both orders are available online. James Otto now has 30 days to respond to the cease and desist order and request a hearing. The Missouri Securities Division continues to investigate the discount brokerage firms that opened dozens of accounts for Ottos liquidation purposes. The Securities Division is working with other regulators on this matter, including the Office of the Kansas Securities Commissioner.

Bio Balls
I have had an interesting online discussion with Craig Thompson of the NSWCS regarding the relative merits of bio balls.
Craig's points (I hope I've not corrupted the concepts in my paraphrasing) were:
I do, and I don't agree with this. On the issue of special designs, I've no grounds to challenge this point, though I am uncertain exactly how much specific design and testing has gone into these products. I suspect in the case of German designed products probably quite a lot. It's worth reminding here that there are lots of bio ball products available, and designs of many are the subject of patents, so its most likely that not all bio balls are equal in terms of their three key abilities (1. surface area, 2. no water retention, 3 ability to "channel" air and water).
Wet and dry filters certainly work, I'm not denying the obvious, and if "working" can be judged by fish health and breeding they work at least as well as all other kinds of accepted filtration. The question really then becomes;
Are they more efficient than emersed filters as the bacteria living therein have access to greater O2 from the atmosphere?
Atmospheric air contains 21% oxygen, in comparison the amount in freshwater aquarium situations is around 8 ppm (8 mg L-1) (which varies with temperature and TDS). This means that bacteria in trickle filters are in closer proximity to higher oxygen levels (as atmospheric oxygen is dissolving into the water as it flows through the trickle filter). Does this actually makes the trickle filter more efficient? I'm not sure that this has been tested rigorously. My main concern lies with the the relatively limited amount of organic nitrogen available. The bacteria in fish tank filters use organic nitrogen as an energy source so they are presumably limited by nitrogen, as well as oxygen, availability. If this nitrogen limitation does occur, it is probable that the bacteria in an aquarium are limited to a given (albeit large) population size. This might mean that a corner filter (with it's massive surface area on the filter wool) has approximately the same numbers of nitrifying bacteria as a wet and dry filter (in which the bacteria may simply be more widely spaced). To add extra confusion to the topic, we know very little about the species of bacteria which colonise fish tank filters, this being so - it's plausible that different communities of bacteria occur in environments of differing moisture and oxygen availability (ie: wet and dry vs emersed filters).
Trickle filters (of any kind, not just those with bio balls) provide increased oxygenation (as the water is given a larger surface area for oxygen to dissolve in). The increased surface area of well designed bio balls presumably maximises the amount of oxygen dissolving into the water. This could be of significant importance to cichlid species with high oxygen demand such as goby or rheophile cichlids. In addition, for aquarists who overfeed and have problems with "surface films", trickle filters and bio balls therein provide a useful means of control.
On the other hand, fish grow accustomed to a certain level of oxygen, and fish keepers with trickle based, high oxygen systems are known to have greater problems in black outs with fish dying due to oxygen deprivation than those people with lower normal oxygen concentrations in their aquariums.
My main complaint with bio balls is the price. Essentially we are talking about a plastic ball - the cost of construction of such an article must be very low - and yet the final product is quite expensive. In properly maintained aquariums, for most (see discussion above of specialised fishes) ornamental tropical species bio balls are, in my opinion, unnecessary. For individual breeding tanks, sponge or corner filters work (in the sense that the fish are healthy and breeding) and cost only a few dollars. For display tanks, particular indoor display tanks, canister filters or baffle filters are considerably quieter than trickle filters and work (again, in the sense of fish health) equally well.

According to the Kansas State Patrol 43-year-old Tracy Core, of Lincoln, and 22-year-old Bradley Cusatis, Jr., of Beatrice, died after a train hit their 2002 Suzuki car.
It happened in Jewell County, Kansas at 10:30 Saturday morning one Mile North of Webber.
The Jewell County Sheriff's Department says Core is Cusatis' mother.
Online KHP records say the 99 car BNSF train was heading north on the tracks, when Core exited Farm Entrance Drive. She then drove across the tracks and the train hit the car on the passenger side. Cusatis was a passenger in the car.
Cusatis died at the scene of the crash. Emergency crews took Core to Broadstone Memorial Hospital in Superior, when she later died.
Neither Cusatis or Core were wearing seat belts.
The three people in the BNSF train were not hurt.

It Was Not An Architectural Problem Just an Error of Foot
by Ed Vincent
The 36 year old Ms. Rasika R Chetlur, a resident of Oak Park, Illinois, is not reported to have had an issue with the design of the residents front porch. She informed the Oak Park Police that she had chosen the gas pedal instead of the brake.
She was driving a 2000 Accura TL car, before crashing into the owners house. With bad reaction time to the error, the car drove several feet within the house. There was not enough damage to the home to inflict structural damage to the homes viability. Inspectors came from the Village of Oak Park to check on the houses integrity.
Ms. Rasika R Chetlur was charged by the Police with "Failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident." It could have been much worse, had there been children or other persons on the walk.
There was no report of drugs or alcohol being used.
A neighbor came and told me about her own daughter who was always an ungifted driver. When she first started driving she had some three accidents in a year, none serious, but expensive.
It was a lucky day in many ways and we wish all involved more luck for the future.

Scrollview content cut off at bottom
You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.
I have a problem with a scrollview in iOS.
I am building the following view hierarchy:
ScrollView - Container View (layout: vertical) --- several Labels --- several Buttons
But the last buttons at the bottom are not all visible or even cut off. As soon as I remove the Labels everything is fine. I've tried to put the label in a Container by itself, then added this label-container to the container and that to the scrollview, but still the buttons are not all visible.
The Labels all have height and width: Ti.UI.SIZE.
Any ideas why the Labels make problems when calculating the scrollview height?
I tried on 2.0.2GA and 2.0.1 SDK.

Remember that ash cloud? It didn't exist, says new evidence

Britain's airspace was closed under false pretences, with satellite images revealing there was no doomsday volcanic ash cloud over the entire country.
Skies fell quiet for six days, leaving as many as 500,000 Britons stranded overseas and costing airlines hundreds of millions of pounds.
Estimates put the number of Britons still stuck abroad at 35,000.
However, new evidence shows there was no all-encompassing cloud and, where dust was present, it was often so thin that it posed no risk.

Importing large images
The maximum size of an image that can be imported into SketchUp is 1024 pixels wide by 1024 pixels high. SketchUp will automatically downsize files larger than the 1024 pixels by 1024 pixels using a medium quality sampling mechanism. For better quality results, downsize a larger image before import into SketchUp using a photo editing program like Adobe Photoshop (one that supports bicubic resampling) and save the file as a high-quality JPEG file.
Additionally, crop any images to include only the portion of the image to be used if the image will be used as a texture in SketchUp (to minimize impact on file size in SketchUp).

-Re: Handling hierarchical data in Hive
bucketing is certainly helpful when you have finite number of values on a
different column in a partitioned column.
though bucketing would mean that when you load data into the table, it
can't be a straight forward load data in path, you will need to run it via
hive queries (which does not seem to be a problem at least from the look of
clustering used to be in the ranges of 2 like 2, 4, 8, 16 etc. Not sure if
it has changed now.
Also while loading data for bucketed table its advised you set the value
for set hive.enforce.bucketing = true;
I have rarely used indexing in hive. but I do remember hive indexes used
to provide better data access to certain queries as well the storage layout
helps in improving search and lookup of the data.
It may be really helpful if you can note down the performance you get after
fine tuning the parameters

If you're a human, you might be interested to discover that animals aren't as dumb as some people might have you believe. From the super-strong to the downright sneaky, read on to be shocked and amazed at these animal escapees.
10. Contender for Weakest Tiger Escape Ever?
A tiger in a Honalulu zoo escaped when the tiger protocol went wrong (ie the zookeeper forgot to lock the cage). The tiger made a mad break for freedom – and then got an attack of lazyitis and walked back to the safety of another cage., which was promptly locked behind her.
9. Panda-monium!
Sorry, that title was cheesy. This is brilliant though: two pandas, in love, decide they want to 'go native' and elope into the sunset, using a cunning distraction technique to escape from their Chinese zoo. They should really make this into a Disney film.
8. Photo-Shark Mega-Hoax
Sneaky trickster Jamie King made everyone believe a shark escape had taken place at the Kuwait Scientific Center, using the power of his mad photoshop skills. A prime example of why you should never believe the hype.
7. Hippo is Just a Peace Loving Hippy
A surprisingly tranquil scene – a huge hippopotamus lazes around in a flooded village like it's a giant hippo bath; people punt past serenely and laugh at it. Maybe they don't realise hippos have giant mouths, sharp teeth and a rep' for being one of Africa's most dangerous species…
6) Epic Lion Fail (Poor Camel)
Q: What do you get if you cross a rubbish zookeeper, a lion and a camel named Thomas?
A: A dead camel named Thomas.
5) "I'm Too Proud to Go Back" – Aspirational Peacock Moves Into Hotel, Gets Famous
A peacock makes a mad dash for freedom and flees Bronx Zoo to take up residence on the windowsill of a swanky hotel. Queue an over-dramatic news piece, cult following, and Broadway musical. (Just kidding about the musical). But people actually did set up Twitter accounts and pretended to be the peacock, which is sort of weird but maybe I'm just jels because they thought of it first?
4. Mandrill Escapes
Yikes – have you seen that bit in The Ring where the creepy dead girl climbs out of the well? Watch this clip of a mandrill making a mad break for freedom and play close attention at 1:20. Also, one of the best things about this video is that the crowd is just standing there enjoying the show as they watch a massive angry monkey-man scrambling towards them. Pass the popcor…aarrgghh!!
3. Gorilla Escapes Zoo to Stroll Around
Here's a heart-warming clip of 24 yr/o Evelyn the gorilla enjoying a leisurely stroll around the (evacuated) zoo where she lives. Evelyn gets shot with a tranquilizer dart but she doesn't give a damn – she just carries on with her epic adventure rummaging in bins and pooing on the floor. *SPOILER ALERT* There's a sad bit at the end when the crazy monkey-anesthetizing drugs finally get the better of her and she gets re-captured by the evil zoo men.
Interesting fact: most people pronounce 'orangutan' with a letter 'G' on the end – but they're stupid and wrong! So next time your peaceful day at the zoo is disrupted by a drug addled primate on a wrecking spree, you can amaze and inspire people with your linguistic brilliance.
1. Shark Explosion! – Sydney Aquarium
Picture this: It's a normal day and you're a 61-year-old Australian woman called Hazel. On this normal day, you're paying a normal visit to a normal aquarium, admiring the beauty of nature as you gaze at a tank full of sharks. And then BOOM!!! – the glass has exploded and there's water and sharks and blood everywhere. This scenario is the reason that our heroine, Hazel Swinden, decided to sue said aquarium. I think she may have a point.

As much for the Hicks faithful as it is for new converts, this is an immersive, inventive delve into the life of a stand-up visionary.
It's not hyperbole to insist that the Texan stand-up's material came loaded with profound power. Negative drug stories in the news, fundamental Christians, America's warmongering foreign policy... It's depressingly unsurprising that once Hicks hit his stride, he was thought too hot for homeland consumption and developed a bigger following in Canada and here in the UK. It's easy to lionise those who were snuffed out just as their fires flared brightest, but there's few who'd mock you for describing Hicks as the greatest ever stand-up.
Co-director Matt Harlock certainly wouldn't. After all, before embarking on a three-year odyssey to shoot this, he hosted Hicks tribute nights in London. Together with Paul Thomas, he won the confidence of Hicks' family and his closest friends, gaining access to 1,300 photos and unseen footage. Taking their cue from Nanette Burstein and Brett Morgen's The Kid Stays In The Picture, Harlock and Thomas have animated these photos and, threading them with the footage, woven a visual narrative so effective it will render any future biopics irrelevant. (Russell Crowe as Bill? Nah. Bill as Bill will do just fine.) The only weakness is that, unlike The Kid, this film involves multiple voiceovers, meaning you're not always sure who's talking when.
If you're worried about Harlock and Thomas getting too easy a ride, then rest assured that while they never question his politics (it might have at least been entertaining to hear from Hicks' critics), they do show us the warts, specifically Hicks' struggle with drink and drugs. Yet essentially it's the story of a man's life told by those who loved him, and the man himself. And as such, it's beautifully told
From his early days doing stand-up at the age of 15 in Houston, Texas, to his membership of the Texas Outlaws comedy collective, to his supremacy as a brilliant controversist, American tells the story of comedian Bill Hicks' tragically short life through the eyes of those who lived it with him.
