It Starts Here!
It Starts Here!
Right, its been a long while since Ive posted, things have been challenging and Ive been through a lot. Its been 15 months since Ive been able to get in the gym training. I have been ill and constantly in and out of hospital for that time and been through countless drugs and treatments. As a result my physique has crashed to resemble my pre-workout days, its been at least 8 years since Ive looked so bad. I was at my best June 2011. Now, I take on the biggest comeback challenge I have ever set myself, to fight back and beat my previous best! I have posted some Starting Pics, I cant believe how far Ive fallen. From a high of 73kg @ 5.58% bodyfat, down to 51.8kg at my lowest. But hey, I built that 73kg from 23kg as a young ill teenager, so this should be easy right? I begin this challenge, March 9th 2013 at 56.5kg & 7.74% bodyfat.
Here are my starting stats; March 2013 Starting Stats
- Height 178cm (70ins or 5'10" )
- Bodyweight 56.5kg (124.3lbs or 8stone12)
- BodyFat 7.74%
- Selected Measurements- Chest 89cm (35ins) - Shoulders 114cm (44.8ins) - Arms Relaxed 30cm (11.8ins) - Hips 90cm (35.4ins) - Waist 75cm (29.5ins) - Thighs 46cm (18.1ins)
This will not happen quickly, but I plan to take pics every two weeks and measurements every eight weeks. I have set myself the goal of 75kg @ 8-10% bodyfat. This is going to be a huge challenge given my illness is on-going and will still affect me on a daily basis. I will have to fight hard just to make it to the gym, get all my meals in, stay a step ahead. I have never been so determined, I will not fail. I WILL NOT FAIL!! I want this for me, I want my life back, I want to be me again. I will reclaim what is mine, I will get my life back.
When life knocks you down, DO BURPEES!!
I will also be posting on Instagram, please follow and support - PETERKV
Hold on, what? You're the giant
Just shy of my target time. So what's going on? My last blog I shifted the posts. I wanted to be back to 150lbs for the New Year. I was 138 then. Well Im glad to say I've reached it already, so it's a good thing I moved the posts to 155lbs. Im not sure whether or not I'll make it in time, if I do, great! If not, I've come a long way and this is one of the first steps, one of the first, basic goals I have lined up for myself. There are bigger and better, far greater things to come. Im determined. I've had a great week, Im very driven and finding motivation is something I find easy to do. But what has been happening, well this just blew the lid off it. There are huge Eastern Europeans in my gym from Poland, Latvia, Lithuania etc. There is one guy who I have been looking to as a rough model of some of the things I would like to be, like to achieve. This guy would fill a barn door, all shoulders! Both being regulars, we would often nod, say hi, just acknowledge each other. Well he approached me during the week, it was arms day (surprise) and I was about 1 hour into the routine so I had a huge pump. I thought he was going to ask me to spot him, he asks "what do you do to get so ripped, what are you on? You've a huge pump�. –Wow, hang on, he's asking me? A guy 150lbs in a gym filled with huge bodybuilder types. He's the giant. He told me of a few supps he had tried to get a better pump and that most of them just blew his head with stimulants. I told him how I eat, he was asking about carbs, do I carb cycle, protein intake, aminos, I eat fish? What fish, how much? How do I cook my rice? What BCAAs do I take? Lean bulk? This was all in the space of 2-3minutes, he didn't want to hold me up but I couldn't believe what was happening. At the end of my routine I was ready to collapse, the same state I usually leave myself in after a good routine. He approached once more to talk a little more about where I buy my food, and a little talk on my training. He then went to try out one of the triceps exercises. I left there in good form! There was also a staff meeting one day (Back day for me), they were all called into the room used for the spinning classes. There's a window through to the main weights area and I noticed at one point that all the faces in that room were looking at me, before turning away again. Weird. When they were done one of the trainers came over to me, I had to ask, "what was that about?� He said the manager just happened to see me and asked who was responsible for 'that young lads recent progress'. Nobody was able to claim me as theirs. Apparently he was very impressed. Something similar happened before, a long while back before I got ill again – Any chance of a job??? I've been getting more and more people asking me for tips, training, eating, planning ahead, setting goals, keeping the momentum going. I know I've been pulling out all the stops but it's just so great to see that others are seeing it too. All this has been going on while in the background, I've been in and out of the hospital to see my specialist/have scans, I had meds changed/added - again. Been sick now and again every few days, so if I can do it, come on, demand more from yourself, lets reach those goals together. Have a great Christmas, enjoy the holidays, I'll have new pics up in the New Year. Happy Gyming.
This is it
This really is it. A big one, a goal I've set before and come so close to achieving only to miss the mark due to illness taking hold. Well not this time. I was low lastweek, I was struggling because of the constant deadweight pulling me back one step for every two forward. But hey, wasn't I starting to make more ground, then there was ground lost? I did just say that, one step back for every two in my favour, at last. It was two or three back for every one forward at one point. So what am I going to do? Stand clear of the fridge and drop those weights, 'coz here I come, I'll be needing them. I have everything I need now at my disposal. So the goal once more, but with everything lined up and set to reach it . . . you know what? Lets push it out a little more, it was 150? Main Focus, Main Goal: Bodyweight 70kg (I'll round up to 155lbs) before New Years 2011. - This doesn't sound much, but to you who know me and of my constant struggle, you know what this is. That gives me a little over 7 weeks, my current weight has dropped again to 138lbs. 17lbs, 7 weeks. So how will I get there? Tracking my progress daily. Exercises, weight, reps, sets, resting periods, cardio. Meal planning, meal times, nutritional foods! No ****e! Tracking everything, calories, carbs, proteins, fats, amino acids, iron (important for me on a medical side) and from the right food sources! I cant stress that enough! Consistency, intensity and discipline. Three things I do well. Moring weigh-in before meals or training begin for true bodyweight reading, evening weigh-in for daily progress records. Making time for one hour of restful sleep after one of my solid meals including complex carbohydrates, during the day to aid in muscle recovery. And finally, by having you here on bb.com watching, that will keep the skids on. I'm doing this for me, I'm doing this because I can. Watch out, there's a killer shark in the waters. Happy Gyming.
The Yoyo Effect
2010 as some of you know has been wildly up and down for me so far. I'm not going to cover it all, again! But this past week I had two very bad days where I probably should have gone to hospital and would have before, but I know my body all too well at this point. I dropped 148lbs to 137lbs in two days, but I refused to go to the hospital, I knew I would see it off myself. I knew the feelings, the organs and areas which were struggling. I took my jabs, I worked hard to keep hydrated, only thing I managed to eat was soup and a single slice of bread. Mouth and throat were inflamed and stomach was being attacked. Still, I knew what I was at. I drank fluids, replaced salts and slept as much as I could, put pressure on certain parts of my stomach which I have found to relieve some pain and discomfort and slept sitting upright which relieves pressure on my throat and chest, giving me longer resting periods. After the two days I started eating again and other than being warn out and a few lbs lighter, I was fine. I was in the gym yesterday, first day back. Weighed 63.5kg (140lbs) on the scales. How amazed was I with what happened next. I grabbed the 30kg Dumbbells - what I usually start with after my warm up, and began my flat bench press, it felt easier than I expected after missing a few days. I then went for a pair of 35kg Dumbbells. Two young lads (very unusual in this gym, but they were non-regulars) laughed and one actually pointed, I had my ipod on and wouldn't have known it only I saw in the angled mirror. Ignoring it completely I propped the weights on my knees. Up, 10reps - easy. Then I decided not to continue my Dumbbell sets, but to move onto Barbell Bench Press for the remaining sets. Both arms help eachother so, already warmed up, threw 80kg on the bar (bar included in all of these!). No problems with it. 90kg, 6 solid reps. That was my 1RM a few weeks back. Final set 97kg, up, one, two, three, four, C'MON! FIVE, SIX! YES!! - I felt great, at this point I suddenly realised the two lads were watching me again, hands by their sides with their water bottles and sweat towels hanging, almost with thier jaws hanging too. I moved on and did other various exercises for chest on lighter weight, then came Lever Wide Chest Presses. Only 3 working sets here. Ok, I should be able to load more weight on here because I've the plates loaded on a machine I physically cannot get crushed under. 90kg, 10reps. 100kg, 6reps. Last set, one more, last set, come on P. 110kg (242lbs). I weigh 140lbs right now remember. UP! One, two, three, breath, come on! Four, C'MON! Five, SIX! . . . . . . . I set the weight down, tilted my head back and took a few long breaths. I then picked up my workout planner/tracker diary. Wrote in the stats of my final set, looked back over the whole workout, smiled to myself, wiped the sweat from my forehead, picked up my water and straps. A regular, a face I know well, gave 'the nod' and an approving smile as I packed up and went upstairs to steep in the steamroom. Illness stops you from achieving what? Huh? . . . . . That's what I thought. Do the work, keep the drive, always believe and push yourself for more. I can do it, anyone can. Nothing can stop me, what can stop you? Happy Gyming my friends.
Foundations Are In
It has been a month since I posted my last bodyblog. In it I spoke of how things kept tearing me down and how I kept fighting in an attempt to overcome the struggle and make my story a success. I spoke of how I kept mentally strong and held on to my goals even in times of poor health and a deteriorating body. I kept quiet, I didn't post again until today. Working, training, eating, living one day at a time, meal by meal, rep by rep. So, what have I managed to achieve so far? How about if I say I have been a member on bb.com a year tomorrow and I started at 150lbs and 10% body fat. Doesn't sound like I've done much. I'm only 146lbs, that means I'm smaller, but haven't I just said I have been working? So whats been going on? Well lets look at some other details, like the fact that due to illness, I have lost 62lbs collectively over this past year, but that would mean that I have gained back 58lbs. I could bench 224lbs at my best, Now I can manage 198lbs. When I say that again, due to being ill that fell to 143, that changes too. Biceps were 16ins, now 15.5ins. A loss? But they had fallen to 14ins. Ok, I haven't made any progress from this time last year, but I've made some phenominal comebacks despite having a chronic illness which has run riot in 2010. I managed to fight back every step, I fought back every time, I never gave up, I never lowered the expectations I had of myself, I never stopped trying! The past year I've been hospitalised several times and had a few procedures done, I've been changed from one treatment to another trying to find one that would work, so no, I've not had an ideal year. A far cry infact. "Overall, I have been ill for 7 of the last 12 months" What made the difference was I worked with what I had and I made the best of it. I kept my head, I stayed strong. I will NEVER give up, I will ALWAYS fight. NOTHING will change that, and I will always give EVERYTHING I've got. I posted new pics yesterday showing changes over the last 8 weeks, 19lb gain total from the lowest point of 127lbs, body fat still below 8%. Waist still 29ins. This is what I call progress. Right? This is only the beginning, if I am lucky enough to keep illness under control for the next few months I will be well ahead of last year. I will storm ahead. In my head I can see a scenario where I have a full year free of medical complications, imagine. Then those 58lbs really make a difference. I have worked so hard this year, but this is just part one. I have so much more I want to achieve, I want this to be a success story. The foundations have gone in, so it's back to work. If this doesn't motivate you, if this doesn't make you think and re-evaluate your own situation, I don't know what will, get stuck in! "Only you can make it happen but believe me YOU CAN!" You can make those things you desire become reality, all it takes is work. Pay day will come in the form of a physique you can be proud of, and knowing it's the result of your own work? That has to put a smile on your face. Apply yourself, you will get there, I know I will. Happy Gyming my friends. Â
That's all I need to do now, keep creeping forwards. 2010 wasn't meant to play out this way. A comment from a bodyspace member got me thinking and as a result, I've stepped back and looked through my profile from an outsiders point of view. It's a sad story.  The blogs, I didn't realise just how much of a current I'm constantly swimming against, I suppose it's because I take it day by day, meal by meal. The pictures, of a young man fighting and despite his best efforts being no more than a few paces from his original starting point. The personal info, the short history outlining how and why things began, which brought me into this bodybuilding lifestyle. The forum threads, the posts made about staying strong, holding on to a belief and refusing to back down, when others would.  This has been my life for such a long time now, and all the information I share here only just begins to scratch the surface. Believe me, I've written pages upon pages on what has gone on in my medical past, even when I shortened it to make it more appealing and readable, it still runs through pages. I put it together for a few reasons, I wanted to have a copy available to the parents of sick children in the hospital I spent so many years in so that they could see another kid, who went through what their child is going through and came out the other end ok. I also did it for myself, slightly altered, slightly more real, afterall I want to encourage the parents. I wanted to recap what I have overcome, seeing how strong I have become as a result and that charges me up to keep up the fight and give it hell. In order for this story to be of any use, to me, to those parents, to the children, to anyone, I need a positive outcome. It needs a happy ending, it needs for its little warrior to slay the beast.  I will make this story the success it deserves to be. I will keep creeping on those goals, those ideals, those dreams. Even at times when I am unable to train my body, I continue to train my mind. So long as this heart keeps beating, this mind keeps strong, I will do everything I need to do to be the success I now need to be, I long to be, I dream of being. One day, I will have crept up on it, I will have finally made it. Until then, I will keep moving, I will remain as strong, focused and positive as I have ever been. I will live my dream.  A big thank you to all my friends here on bodyspace who have taken an interest and shared their support. Â
Hold Strong, Happy Gyming my friends. Â
Ill give you your WAR
So, this is how it is. 12 years ago you shatter my world and tear me apart from the inside. You rob me of everything I had physically, you beat me down and continued your abuse to the point where you managed to pull me down to 52lbs, dying on a strange bed. You showed a small child just how cruel this world can be. You stole away most of my teenage years and all the experiences that go with it. You took from me my football, rugby, swimming, everything I had. You made food an enemy. You thought this would leave me shaken? It made me stronger!! Remember this, I fought back every step of the way, I dug in my heels, gritted my teeth, roared back in your face and pushed back, clawed my way, shoved you back, stared you down and you were in some serious trouble once I gathered momentum. I know you know how it felt to fall, I know you will always remember when I took over and took hold over my own body once more. You were nothing more than a shadow, fallen to the ground shielding your face. I don't know how you managed to creep up on me so fast all over again, I don't know how it got to this point, maybe you are stronger than I thought, maybe you were waiting for something, maybe you won't die. In that case, get ready to be made a misery of, be ready to live out your days with me kicking you down and giving you nothing, nothing! You want a war? I'll give you your WAR!! You have once again robbed me, this time of bodybuilding, MMA, boxing, swimming and more importantly, you have put my family, friends and girlfriend in a world of worry. You think you're on top, you think you can sink me down, hold me there and drown me. Well here's something for you to think over. The damage you did before was far more than what you've managed to pull off this time, and I was a 12 year old kid. I beat you then. I now know how you work, I know all your tell-tale signs, and I'm far stronger than you give me credit for. You have made a great mistake coming back and jumping me from behind, you have yourself a war, you will be given nothing . . .
Will I ever win? Can I ever win this battle?
This month I have been working to make the same dramatic changes I managed to achieve last month. I was on track, although my bodyweight remained pretty much the same I was stronger, leaner and details on different muscle groups had me feeling I was racing forward. That was before Friday. I have had another problem caused by my illness, I wont drone on about the specifics. This time stopping me completely from eating. Thursday afternoon was the last time I worked out. 7am Friday was the last time I ate. It is now 6pm Monday Irish time. My weight, which is my biggest hurdle to overcome it has to be said, has plummeted from 142lbs . . . . to 129lbs in those 3 & 1/2 days. My lowest weight in over 2 & 1/2 years. This is my problem, I eat so much just to maintain myself that when a problem arises concerning my health, everything crumbles. I have been thinking recently and have asked myself, will I ever win? Can I ever win? Can I keep getting up and putting the same amount of effort in with the same drive, same passion and bull-faced determination as I had the time before? Or will my willingness to pursue these goals eventually dwindle? My hopes sidelined and left in the cold to cramp up and become a distant shaddow. Do I really need to answer that one for you? I am sick to the teeth with this STUPID ILLNESS!! I will NOT submit, I will NOT let it dictate my life like this. I will not live with an illness, if this illness is going to stick around its going to have to learn to live with ME! So I will say it once more, I do it becasue I can, I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn't. I will rip myself apart to overcome this. I will not deviate from my dreams. Happy gyming my friends.
I need my fix
I have a problem, I didnt expect this to take over the way it has, I didnt know my need for it would become this big, I meant it to be something I could control, do in my spare time, but I have become the addict I was once before. After recovering from illness once again, I have fallen into the same addiction. I admit I had intended on doing it regularly and enjoying using it like before, I was never going to give it up. Getting that feeling and seeing myself differently. I liked it and missed it. But this thing, I cant get it out of my blood, I cant stop, I need more and more all the time. The more I do the more I need. Even when Im not doing it Im thinking about it, about the last time I did it, about the next time I will do it. I need my fix! There is so much pressure put on all of us these days. We just need something to help release it. For me the best part of the day is walking into that room, turning on the music and kicking ass. This is my gym! The gym is my home from home, the weights become add-ons to my body, my phone is turned off, outside world is cut off, and and all problems and concerns are left to wait at the door in the rain. This is my time, this is my space, my release, my fix.  I love the feeling being back in the gym, so much has changed for me recently and in the last month I have seen changes that before, took me over 3 times as long to accomplish. This is a path I have walked before, I know the way, I know where to find the right food, I know the proper lifting techniques. My strict workout plans and proper nutrition are now a huge part of my life. I will be the best I can be because I have the drive, the determination, the confidence, the passion, the will, desire and self belief it takes to see it through. Im starting to ramble so I will finish by saying, I could not be happier to be back in the gym, doing what I love. Watch this space. Happy gyming!
Im BACK!
2010, for me it has been a struggle, my health deteriorated, weight, muscle, strength, stamina were lost. Now, half way through the year, after all thats gone on, Im BACK! Im back with a new found love for the gym, the weights, the lifestyle. I have just posted my current workout routine which I have started back on this week. I put this plan together myself in 2008 and it brought me to my best physical condition to date. I hope to achieve it all over again, I have a new diet too and am more driven to build more muscle mass, shift more weight, push out more reps, surpass everyones expectations, afterall expectations imply limitations at the end, and I refuse to accept that I may have any. Im glad to be back, Im glad to be healthy. All the best and happy gyming
The Itch
Feeling human again this week, health is still improving and I have been given the all clear to start light weights training this week. I have IV therapy treatment again this Friday so I am strictly to keep it light, but Im itching to get back now. I have a lot of ground to make up, a lot of work to do and I am ready for it. I know I will struggle for the first short while again but muscle memory is a great thing, my biceps progress last year after being away for a year proved this theory. Diet plan is back in action too as I can eat again. I love to eat. Pile on the food now and soon pile on the weights too. Again, Im just itching to get my former self back, and more! Happy Gyming
Moving On
This was a quiet week, the most quiet Ive had in a long while. The good news is that because I have been listening to my body and taking care of it by resting, doing as the docs say, Im now pain free almost all of the time. Huge change from last weeks post. Ive had an incredible change since the IV therapy treatment on Friday. My body looks a mess, but inside Im healing. Muscles have vanished and bones have appeared to take their place but I don't care. I have my next dose of this drug in a week or so and the hope is that if these improvements continue, I can start to lift again pretty much immediately afterwards. New pics will be posted around this time as my - new before pics. I cant wait to get back to my weights training, I cant wait for that feeling, I cant wait, but the wait may be nearing an end. I started a bodygroup over the weekend called Because You Said I Couldnt. If you are trying to achieve something, anything in any area of your life despite difficult circumstances, please stop by and have a look. Thank you, Happy Gyming
Weights have to Wait
I'm just home again from the hospital. Drugs were not working as they should (at all) so meds have been changed and I will be getting another more serious drug through an IV over the course of the next few weeks or so. This has changed things for me again, my weight goal will not be reached as a result because I cant eat the required amount of food for the next while, this however doesnt mean I wont eat all I can and wont try to gain a little at a time. Im also living in constant pain which becomes very intense a few times a day, obviously as a result I cant train with weights, in MMA, in boxing or even run, the thought of it even hurts. I love working out, I love the feeling you get when youve had a great session in the gym, but right now it would be great just to feel well and relaxed. Priority, get well, then befriend the iron once again. I will get there. Happy gyming
Unrealistic Goals
Sticking to this diet isnt easy, not only am I forever eating, Im living most of my life in the kitchen between preparing, cooking, eating, cleaning and even crashing on the couch. My day has to work around my meal times in order to fit all the required meals in. I am doing well though and can see the changes so Im sticking to it as planned. Weight still on the up, health still slowly improving, all is well. I've set myself a very high bar, a weight goal. I dont even know if I can make it happen in the time Ive allowed but thats the point, if I set a goal I could easily reach, well whats the point? If I set it to be boarder-line possible then Im going to push myself to see if I can make it happen. If you only ever set yourself targets you know you can make happen, youll never achieve anything special. Never stand out, never be what you could be. Set targets you dont know you can make happen and youll soon find out what you are capable of. Even if you fail, have you made more progress along the way? Did you achieve more than if you hadnt gone for it? Will it make you strive for more next time? Set a target beyond what you think is possible for you, suprise youself when you get there. Push and strive for more, thats all I do. Is my goal unrealistic? You might think so, but Im willing to find out. Happy gyming.
6000kcal+ For a Month
7 days, 8lbs!! What?? Me?? I pulled that off?? Im in great form this week, not only am I starting to feel better after weeks of not being well but my weight, after a 4 year low of 131lbs lastweek has bounced and Im not sure its going to stop any time soon! Ive devised a major carbo loading plan for myself and wow is it working. Ive never put on 8lbs or even close to that in a 7 day period. Im going to bulk for at least the next 4-5weeks to see what weight I can achieve on this diet and then I will look to cut to get my definition back. Ive never eaten so much food, over the last 4 days I have had, 6105kcal, 6028kcal, 6015kcal, 6046kcal and Im on track again today. Carbs all around 535g mark daily. Loving this!! Happy Gyming!

UTICA — Zander Clouse allowed just one hit in seven shutout innings, leading the Watertown Rams to an 11-1 rout of the Utica Brewers in a Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League game Saturday night at Murnane Field.
Clouse didn't give up a hit until the fifth inning when John Jennings hit a bloop single for Utica (0-3).
Matt Diorio's two-run single highlighted a six-run third inning for the Rams (2-2), who won their second straight game after dropping their first two to start the season.
The Rams scored their first run on a catcher's interference call with the bases loaded.
Diorio then delivered his hit to give Watertown a 3-0 lead.
Watertown scored on one of four Utica errors, and also added a run on a wild pitch.
The Rams will host the undefeated Albany Dutchmen at 5 p.m. tonight at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.

A U.N. study announced earlier this week found the Palestinian Authority is ready for statehood. Joshua Keating notes "the often arbitrary criteria applied to international sovereignty":
There are more than a handful of U.N. member states with lower standards of governance, economic development, and healthcare than the Palestinian Territories. The U.N. has welcomed South Sudan's vote for independence, but is there any chance that one of the world's least developed regions would make the cut for sovereignty if it had to demonstrate the kind of economic and political progress seen on the West Bank in recent years?
I might add I can see no reason why the US shouldn't vote for recognition of Palestine. It's long been US policy; it's an important reward for real progress in governance by the PA; it will nudge Israel to get real. But somehow I suspect that once again, the US will balk.

Washroom Locks You In Unless You Wash Your Hands
Posted By admin On November 5, 2009 @ 11:54 am In Big Brother,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Überloo International
November 5, 2009
[efoods]The World Health Organization has stated loudly and clearly that hand hygiene is a primary, effective and cost-effective method of preventing and reducing bacterial and viral infections. Überloo International's commitment to a reduction in the spread of contagious bacteria and viruses is as solid as the World Health Organization's advice.
Our Überdoor, with its innovative "Wash Hands First ™" technology, is the only door in the global market that relates the opening of the restroom door to the washing of hands-no other washroom system compels a person to wash hands.
Upon approaching an Überdoor to exit the washroom, the guest is gently reminded to wash hands. The act of hand-washing subsequently readies the door for opening.

Today, 5 Mar 2012, is the feast day of St Gerasimus, a hermit and abbot who lived in 5th century Palestine near the River Jordan and died around 475. It was an era rife with theological controversies, and St Gerasimus got caught up in it. A holy friend, St Euthymius, helped him to see where he had gone wrong and set him once more upon the true path of penance.
St Gerasimus grew up in Lycia in Asia Minor. Attracted by God's call he began to live a life of great spiritual discipline. Perhaps at some point the desire to visit the holy places of Jerusalem took hold of him, or perhaps he wished to learn first hand from the desert fathers in Palestine, or both. Whatever the catalyst was, and it could also have been the desire to sort out the theological controversies with a learned and holy person, Gerasimus made the journey to Palestine around 453.
Ever since St Mark made the question, 'Who do you say I am?', the fulcrum of his gospel, scholars and holy men have been pondering the true nature of Jesus. The Council of Chalcedon in 451 declared that Jesus is one person, with new natures – one human and one divine – held in hypostatic union. Believing this has all kinds of consequences for understanding the nature of salvation, relationships within the Most Holy Trinity, and the veneration of Our Lady. Gerasimus prior to his visit to St Euthymius had held at least part of the monophysite heresy to be true, that Jesus is one person with one nature – a divine-human one. Thankfully St Euthymius was able to help Gerasimus understand and accept the Church's doctrine and to turn away from all heresy. From then on Gerasimus sought by prayer and penance to undo all the bad things that had flowed to souls from his bad example of embracing heresy. As a respected hermit and holy man, many must have followed Gerasimus' lead and have given room to this heresy in their hearts.
As soon as Gerasimus was back on the right path, the good Lord sent many men seeking to live a penitential life to him. To accommodate them all, Gerasimus had to build a monastery surrounded by 70 cells for hermits. Have we not seen the same phenomenon in our own times? Those diocesan seminaries and religious orders that seek to form their members according to the teachings of the Magisterium of the Church with great fidelity have plenty of vocations and those seminaries and orders who stray from the teachings of the Magisterium have very, very few vocations, if any.
Desperate times called for desperate measures, and those who wished to atone for past sins or to undo the wrong they had done when under heresy's sway, or who just wished to join this band of radical spiritual warriors, sought out Gerasimus' leadership. To live as a hermit with him near the Jordan River was not for the faint of heart. During the week the hermits lived in silence in their cells and subsisted on water, bread and dates. They prayed and made baskets and rope in their cells. Only a reed mat for a bed and a single set of clothes decked out the cells. Without candle light or fires they lived totally according to the rhythm of day and night. On weekends they would gather together to share common prayer, Holy Mass, and the only cooked hot food of the week, sometimes with a little wine. no one even laid claim to their own cell, since whenever they were unoccupied anyone at all could make use of them. What a powerhouse of prayer and reparation Gerasimus and his fellow hermits must have offered to God each week!
So attuned to God and to God's creation did Gerasimus become that even the animals responded to his requests, especially donkeys and the lion from whom Gerasimus removed a sharp thorn from a paw. If even the animals gave such example of obedience to Gerasimus, how perfectly must his fellow hermits have sought to live in holy obedience!
May the prayers of St Gerasimus greatly aid all the leaders of God's people to turn away from everything in their lives which is not in accordance with the teaching of the Apostles as handed down by them through the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
St Gerasimus, pray for us.

Tech Trends Panel – MLA Conference 2011
Here are the slides from my panel presentation:
Here are the slides from my panel presentation:
Tina Fey once said that the first year of your child's life feels like you're being constantly hit in the head with a hammer every day. I can agree with this, but with the caveat that you don't mind it quite so much when you get to hang out with such cute people:
My son Arthur had his first birthday this past Friday and I am literally flabbergasted. A whole year? Really?
Given the times and how they are flying, it seemed to be a good time to recap the two bigger work projects I've done in the last year:
Southborough Public Library
I worked with Director Jane Cain and her lovely staff last winter to come up with a brand new web presence for their library. They needed to do some blogging, be able to make their own changes to text and images on static pages, incorporate a third-party application for an event calendar, various reference databases, their email newsletter, and their library catalog. I also set up staff email for their domain, and I manage their web hosting in addition to WP software upgrades, backups and any other ongoing site maintenance that may come up.
John Lewis Lights
Independent artisan John Lewis crafts the most exquisite blown glass I have ever encountered. When he came to me needing help with a new site it was obvious that his organic shapes and vivid colors should be the visual focus. I used the Thesis framework to create a customized WordPress site with an understated color palette, image galleries of work for sale, and an integrated feed of his work for sale on Etsy. I also helped him out with an audiovisual version of an "artist's statement" set to original music provided by his son.
When I decided to leave full-time work in public libraries to be a technology consultant, I didn't do it with an eye to becoming a WordPress developer. I have used WordPress in my personal life for years and as over time I feel it has really grown into becoming more than just a blogging platform: as an overall CMS for designing general-interest websites I think it's hard to top in terms of its flexibility and usability. Thesis has been an amazing resource for client-based work: I can easily respond to client requests for layout changes and tweaks with shortcuts that would have otherwise taken me hours to bash together with PHP.
There have been a few smaller things here and there, too, in between playing peekaboo and sweeping up Cheerios off the floor: I helped my local public library get set up with a Facebook page. I still help Nancy Hunter Denney with updating her website. I've designed and distributed the email newsletter for UAC Ukraine and I helped John at Frank Lamparelli Oil with YouTube.
The weather in New England is finally starting to warm up and I'm itching to get out and enjoy it! Have a great spring, everyone!
I just got back from the Winchester Public Library, where I met with a great group of parents for a workshop about teens, social media & Internet safety. People came to the workshop eager for information, and there were lots of really good and challenging questions raised during the discussion after the presentation.
On a personal note, as a new mom it was really heartwarming and inspiring for me to see so many parents of older kids who actively wanted to learn more about teens and social media in the context of being a more effective parent. In my day-to-day life I often feel that parenting an active and busy 1 year old is one of the hardest jobs there is, but I'm starting to think that maybe parenting is one of those things that really never does get any simpler.
If you're a workshop attendee and you've found your way to this site looking for the workshop web page, here it is:
I hope you find the slides, PDFs & collection of links useful! Also, please note there's a small feedback survey–I'd love it if you could take a moment to let me know what you thought of the workshop.
Thanks for a great evening!

Now that I'm finally 21 and actually have reliable transportation, I can finally start getting out to D.C. and Baltimore for a lot of house music events. I shouldn't be missing any more Deep Sugar nights at the Paradox, because now I can actually drive to Baltimore instead of having to freak out and attempt to find a ride.
I'm looking forward to going to Deep Sugar next weekend, but this weekend I'm going to check out this house event in D.C. called Motions. This is my first time hearing about it, but I'm going to check it out Saturday night and see what it's all about. You know that I'm a house junkie, so whenever there is house playing, I try to be there.
Typically I find good house on iTunes podcasts and soundcloud, but the other day Music Choice actually played a really nice house mix by Nicolas Matar. I've listened to Nicolas Matar's Cielo:Paradise EP in the past, and I truly loved his ability to mix together deep house, nu-house, jazz, and a little afro house.
Nicolas Matar's Cielo: Paradise was quite a compilation, and that same vibe of seamless house can be found on his latest release, Cielo: Sunrise. It wasn't until listening to Music Choice's Dance/Electronica channel that I heard some delightful tracks off Nicolas Matar's EP, and I knew that I immediately had to blog about it.
The CD contains some delightful house mixes, so I thought it would be cool to show y'all some of my favorite tracks from the EP. Have a listen below.
Deniz Kurtel feat JADA – "The L Word" (Guy Gerber's Countryside Remix)
I really like this track, especially because it's got this nice organic vibe and the lyrics are beautiful too. You can never go wrong when talking about love.
DJ T. featuring Cari Golden – "City Life" (Maceo Plex Remix)
Um, Maceo Plex remix. Need I say more? Golden.
Parker_Pooley – "Feel the Same"
Let's go a little deeper.
Layo & Bushwacka – "Summer Gone"
A little more ethnic, hints of tribal. Nice track!
Steffi – "Sadness"

Avoid rejection: Opt ins and AlertsThursday, August 26th, 2010
Now that regulatory changes have gone into effect, anyone who hasn't opted in for Courtesy Pay Plus will face rejection at the register or ATM if they attempt to use their debit card when they don't have sufficient funds in their checking account. Being rejected can be inconvenient and a little embarrassing.
Of course, the best way to avoid rejection at the cash register is to know how much money is in your checking account and not exceed it. This can occasionally be difficult, however. To ensure that you never go below a certain threshhold without your knowledge, consider placing an alert on your Salal checking account.
Alerts are easy to put in place—from your account on Salal's Online Banking, click "Notifications." Then choose the account you'd like to put an alert on. Then set the balance at which you wish to be notified. If your account drops below that amount (or rises above, depending on the type of alert), you'll receive an email, notifying you. This free service is a great way to keep track of your finances and avoid overdrafting. If you're not currently signed up for Online Banking, call our Virtual Branch at 206-298-9394.
There may be times when your account balance goes negative. Emergencies can happen; that's when overdraft plans such as Courtesy Pay Plus can provide back-up protection. With Courtesy Pay Plus, Salal may choose to cover your every day debit-card purchases or ATM withdrawals, even if you don't have sufficient funds in your Salal checking account.
If you haven't yet opted in to Courtesy Pay Plus, it's easy and quick to determine if you're eligible and to opt in: just visit your Salal branch or call us at 206-298-9394 or 800-562-5515. Of course, there's no fee if you never use it, but it's nice to know your transaction may be covered, just in case.
*Enrollment in Courtesy Pay Plus is subject to eligibility requirements. Use of Courtesy Pay Plus is at Salal CU's discretion and will result in a fee for overdrafts of more than $5.

I've been leveling my monk lately, and let me tell you ... one of the best classes to level. The ability where I instant kill an enemy every 90 seconds (if the mob has equal or less HP then me) is amazing. It really adds a new dynamic when taking on multiple groups of mobs; namely that there is no dynamic. BAM. Head shot.
And then the daily you get to do to get the 50% XP buff adds just a whole 'nother level of awesome. The levels just fly by, and with all the heirlooms you feel quite over powered. So much fun.
Mauricio asked:
Not sure if this been asked before, but does anyone think we'll get playable Hozen and Jinyu later on this expansion, and Blizz just needed us to meet them first so people would be interested in playing them later?
Nah, not really a good chance. I think those races are neat, but there's not nearly as much depth in their story as some other already established races, and Blizzard really doesn't make NPC races playable in expansions. Out of all the non-classic races (Draenei, Blood Elves, Worgen, Goblins, Pandaren), only the Goblins were really established before their playability. The Worgen had a little bit, but there wasn't anything major.
Stephpaul asked:
In the real world, which WoW race comes from which country?
Alarivana asked:
I have a friend who switched to druid for the expac, resto/balance. He's been complaining ever since he hit 90 that balance is a terrible spec and he can't do anything, to the point where it's faster to do his dailies in resto. Is this a player problem or a spec problem, and if it's a player problem, what are some resources I can suggest for him? He's normally pretty good at looking things up and optimization, is the confusing part.
I agreed with both Xvbkarbear and Pyro in the comments. On one hand all specs seem to have lower DPS right away at 90, and that's not his fault. On the other than, it's a player problem -- sometimes good players can miss things in their class changes that set them back. This is especially true for players that have been engaged in their class for years and are set in their ways. Maybe he's not using a spell correctly (or not at all), and maybe he's ignoring procs or something like that. Either way, he needs to spend some time looking over his rotation and taking a hard look at what he's doing.
Puntable asked:
I'm trying to get my gear a little better before I do Heroics. Is there a way to get JP besides doing Heroics?
Heroics are not the same as they used to be. As long as you have the right iLevel on your gear and can execute your spec's rotation, then you're going to be fine in heroics. I had to buy a couple pieces of PvP gear off the AH for my warlock to get his iLevel up, and I was just fine (and right in the middle of the DPS meters) when I set foot in my first heroic.

Abstract Details
Does pre-liver transplant HBV DNA level affect HBV recurrence or survival in liver transplant recipients receiving HBIg and nucleos(t)ide analogues?
Campos-Varela I, Castells L, Buti M, Vargas V, Bilbao I, Rodríguez-Frías F, Jardí R, Charco R, Guardia J, Esteban R. Ann Hepatol. 2011 Apr 1;10(2):180-7.
Background and Aims. The risk of recurrent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and prognosis of liver transplantation in patients with HBV has dramatically changed with the use of prophylaxis including hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIg) and antiviral agents.
Methods. This study analyzes the prognostic value of HBV DNA level before orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and the effect of HBV prophylaxis on rates of HBV recurrence and survival. Between 1988 and 2008, 859 patients underwent OLT in our center; 60 patients had HBV-related liver disease and in 49, HBV DNA was determined by real time-PCR before OLT. Survival and HBV recurrence were analyzed according to preoperative viral load (HBV DNA <103 IU/mL vs. HBV DNA ≥103) and prophylaxis regimens (HBIg vs HBIg and antivirals).
Results. On multivariate analysis, prophylaxis with HBIg alone, but not HBV-DNA levels was independently associated with poor survival, with a relative risk (RR) of death of 6.5 (95% CI 2.1-19.8, P = 0.001). The risk of HBV recurrence, in this small series, was also associated
with monoprophylaxis with HBIg (RR 27, 95% CI 5.2-147.2, P < 0.0001), but not with HBV-DNA levels.
Conclusions. When prophylaxis with HBIg and antiviral agents was administered, survival and HBV recurrence were not influenced by HBV-DNA levels determined by real time-PCR prior to OLT.

The way the federal government runs things is already bad enough, but it's officially projected to get only worse, much worse, in the years ahead according to the government's own number crunchers.
In fiscal year 2011 — October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011— the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reports that the federal government spent $3.6 trillion, or 24 percent of the Gross Domestic Product, 24 percent of the monetary value of all the goods and services produced in the United States in that year, the highest federal-spending-to-GDP ratio since World War II.
Federal outlays averaged 19.6 percent and 19.8 percent of GDP, respectively, during the George W. Bush and Bill Clinton administrations.
The CBO also reports that total federal tax revenues in fiscal year 2011 were $2.2 trillion, against $3.6 trillion in spending, producing a shortfall of nearly $1.4 trillion in red ink, a $1.4 trillion annual deficit that's simply added to the federal debt and paid for by more borrowing and sticking future taxpayers with the tab.
Social Security payouts by the federal government in fiscal 2011 totaled $731 billion. Another $769 billion was paid out in federal benefits during the same period in three health insurance programs — Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program. An additional $230 billion in fiscal 2011 went for interest payments on the federal debt.

Winter Break Bum
I'm not even sure which day I'll fly home, but I'll buy my flight ticket online sometime soon. Home is Los Angeles. It is a different world from Berkeley—where isn't? The best thing about going home is being with Mom, and I'll have time to paint and do things I don't have time to get involved with during the swirl of the semester. Nonetheless home can be a distraction of bad influences. I will get into the old bumming-around-because-I-don't-have-to-study routines and pick up old habits, like watching television. I worked hard all semester, after all. My brain needs to chill. I will watch "M.A.S.H." and "I Love Lucy" re-runs.
Another thing I will do when I go home for winter break, I'm going to convert my mom to become vegetarian. I used to think she could eat how she wants because it's her right. But because I care for her, the animals, and the environment, and because I have a greater knowledge of the significance of vegetarianism, I will share my knowledge and help her see the truth, which I would share here, but that would digress from the topic of this week.
The main thing I'm going to do during my three weeks away from school is focus and come to a deeper understanding of the world and myself through contemplation. This is something we should each do everyday.

I don't even know why I am answering this, since I've sworn a blood fued with you after the bashing you gave me for my innocent remarks in the "Queens of the Stoneage" thread.
I was never in any of the Talented and Gifted classes in high school, but I'm not sure it takes Stephen Hawking to figure this out.
Let me get this straight:
You want to spend money (which you don't have), for a computer (which you don't need), and you are about to move in with someone (who only asks for some symbol of commitment), and this is a dilemma for you?
Oh nevermind, it probably is.

Speaking on the eve of TFWA, André Levy, Chairman of Protégé International (exclusive global distributor of The Wild Geese® Collection), said: "The Wild Geese® Collection is unique, being the only premium and super-premium collection of Irish spirits in the market – as such, it fits the profile of Singapore and the wider region. Premium spirits is a growing category internationally and, as such, our participation in TFWA is particularly timely. We are brimming with confidence at the moment and look forward to a successful TFWA."
It was in 1898 that a group of Irishmen came together to form their own club, the London Irish Rugby Football Club. The founding fathers were an exceptional group of powerful personalities embracing politicians, lawyers and businessmen united by a sense of Irishness and a passion for rugby. From the beginning London Irish was to provide a welcoming "home" and hospitable meeting place for all Irish people, regardless of creed or politics.
The creation of London Irish Amateur was first discussed in 1995 when rugby union became professional and London Irish set aside resources for the creation of an amateur team. The club was founded in September 1999 after London Irish left The Avenue to play at the Madjeski Stadium in Reading. It was formed to be the feeder club for senior and junior amateur players to then go on to play for London Irish, who play in the English Premiership. London Irish and London Irish Amateur jointly share the new Hazelwood Rugby complex. Since 2012, links between London Irish and London Irish Amateur were upgraded with the two becoming part of a joint venture where London Irish Amateur players play for London Irish in the A League, In return, members of London Irish's Academy are entitled to play for London Irish Amateur. The first team's official name was changed to London Irish Wild Geese after the Rugby Football Union's governance committee gave consent for the change of name.

The Wild Geese® Classic Blend featured in 'ILoveMyGrub.com' see post here
New to the UK, this Irish whiskey is perfect for hot toddy season.
Whiskey wouldn't be whiskey if it didn't come with a great story. Distilleries are often steeped in the history of their area and can trace their lineage of eccentric owners and escapades back through the years. The Wild Geese Irish whiskeys have taken their name from a true story. As people left Ireland, preferring not to live under English rule following the Battle of the Boyne and the Treaty of Limerick, they took the name, 'The Wild Geese', as they migrated. This range of whiskeys has opened up the name, The Wild Geese, for anyone with a little Irish in them, wherever they may now find themselves!
Produced using a blend of malt and grain whiskies, aged in barrels previously used for maturing bourbon, the Wild Geese Classic Blend is pale gold, fresh and sweet on the nose, with a pleasant warmth and notes of grain. It would be an ideal whisky to use in a hot toddy or a cocktail, and The Wild Geese website lists a variety of recipe suggestions. During those winter months, settling in with a warm, spicy toddy sounds like the perfect way to keep out the cold.
The Wild Geese range has only recently launched in the UK, so you may not find it in your local drinks shop or supermarket yet. However, it is available online at The Drink Shop, where a 50cl bottle of Classic Blend retails at £19.79, and through a growing list of retailers, detailed on The Wild Geese website.
The Wild Geese® Irish Whiskey features 'gingit.me' see full article here
THE WILD GEESE® Irish Whiskey Collection presents a five-step guide to a perfect pairing this Valentine's Day for lovers looking for a Valentine's with a difference.
Having left their own sweethearts at home, THE WILD GEESE® Collection tells the story of courageous Irish soldiers forced to leave Ireland in 1691. While they were successful abroad, fighting circumstance and adversity they dreamt of returning home to their beloved Ireland. Inspired by this story, THE WILD GEESE® Collection has been designed with love in mind, no matter how far that love stretches.
THE WILD GEESE® Collection is comprised of four unique Irish whiskeys and an Irish Honey Liqueur, each offering something sweet this Valentine's Day.
The brand new THE WILD GEESE® Irish Honey Liqueur will entice your new sweetheart with lifted aromas of honey and spice that expertly integrate to give a multi layered, complex palate and a long lasting finish. It's made with the award winning THE WILD GEESE® Irish whiskey and blended with a 100% pure and natural honey from the green fields of Tipperary and Kilkenny. THE WILD GEESE® Irish Honey Liqueur works well as an alternative to the "Caipirinha" cocktail.
For the adventurous, looking to meet someone new, the subtle smooth and easy-going Classic Blend Irish Whiskey will help kick start the night. Its citrus notes mix well in cocktails like a bespoke Chilli & Chocolate Rusty Nail.
Like The Classic Blend, the Rare Irish Whiskey is smooth but with a much richer personality, perfect for sharing on those all important second and third dates. Tradition is at the heart of this whiskey making it an ideal tipple to get to know each other. The balanced nature of the Rare Irish makes it perfect in short cocktails, like an "Old Fashioned" or the scrumptious "Irish Kiss".
For those looking to spend a cosy night in with that special someone, The Single Malt Irish Whiskey is recommended. It's complex and has great depths to be explored over time. Hints of vanilla and peppery malt make this a romance to be nurtured.
Last, but never least, The Limited Edition Irish Whiskey is the perfect blind date. Sweet to start, with hints of marzipan that lead to sophisticated overtones of chocolate. This is masterfully made whiskey, blended with love and passion, making it a delicious ice breaker.

The Three Keys to Happiness Are:
The Human Life Cycle: Start Happy-Get Grumpy-Finish Happy
Satisfaction with life starts to drop as early as a person's late 20s and does not begin to recover until well past 50, says Bert van Landeghem, an economist at Maastricht University in Belgium.
While young adults are carefree and full of hope for the future and the over-50s have come to terms with the trials of life, the research indicates that those in the middle feel weighed down by the demands on them.

People who watch more television are less happy overall. A 30-year General Social Survey concluded that happier people tend to be socially active, and that unhappier people tend to watch TV (the actual act of watching TV was identified as pleasurable and positive in the short term, but correlated with unhappiness in the long term).

Ahmed Nasheed: Dhaalu Raa (Asasi Records)
Apr. 7, 2014
Remote in geography and from the concerns of the outside world, the Maldives is an Islamic republic spread out over 200 islands in the Indian Ocean. The inhabitants developed their own rhythms and poetry over the centuries, yet Western rock found its way to the insular nation in the '60s. The Maldives' most prominent musician, Ahmed Nasheed, combines indigenous music with rock on Dhaalu Raa. Except for the lyrics in the local language, Dhivehi, Nasheed's guitar-based tracks would not have been out of place on American freeform FM rock radio in the '70s.

I'm writing this review because I want to share a product with you, that has meant I can now read my Kindle in the bath You see I love my Kindle but the one thing that's been annoying me is that I haven't been able to read it in the bath and lets face it, there is nothing better than soaking in a hot bath with a G&T and a good book! I actually paid for this product and haven't been paid to write this review so I'm not biased in any way, sometimes I just like to share good products
I asked on twitter for recommendations for a waterproof case for the Kindle and quite a few people recommended this product and so I thought I'd share it with you all. It's guaranteed 100% waterproof and is ideal if like me you miss reading your kindle in the bath It's quite expensive at almost £20 but I judge these things on amazon ratings and personal recommendations and these have all been great so I decided to go ahead. I daren't risk my beloved Kindle with a cheap waterproof cover just to save a few pounds
It will also be fab for going on holiday, it'll keep sand out of your kindle and you'll be able to relax around the pool and have a good read without worrying about spilling suntan lotion or your G&T on it

The MINI Countryman crossover has been given a fresh new face for the summer. The popular 4x4 has sold over 350,000 units worldwide and the subtle updates bring the biggest model in the range closer to the all-new MINI hatch, with lower emissions across the range and extra power for selected models as well as the styling tweaks.
Most of the changes to the exterior are reserved for the front end – which gets a new grille design with a prominent scoop and new crossbar – plus a sporty red 'S' badge for the quicker versions. New LED fog lights are optionally available for the first time, and incorporate a ring of daytime running lights for a modern look.
Four new colours, including Jungle Green, are now available, and Cooper and Cooper S variants come with a lighter set of five-spoke alloys as standard. The Cooper S has been given some extra power too and its twin-scroll 1.6-litre turbo now produces 190bhp (7bhp more than before) and takes 0.1 seconds less to reach 62mph from a standing start.
However the whole range is also more efficient than before too. Thanks to better use of the brand's MINIMALISM technology and lower rolling resistance tyres all versions of the Countryman now meet the stricter Euro 6 emissions standard.
Emissions for the Cooper S fall to 139g/km and it will now return 47mpg, while the more frugal Cooper D models emit just 111g/km and return an impressive 67g/km – which still makes them the cheapest version to run.
ALL4 four-wheel drive versions of the Countryman now come with metal scuff plates built into the front and rear bumpers for a more rugged look, and they are optionally available for front-drive models as well.
Every Countryman in the range now gets the anthracite dials from the JCW model, and even the most potent 218bhp Countryman will get the same changes as the rest of the range, with order books opening at the start of the summer, this June.
I like this very much. Mini goes from strength to strength.
Yeeeah my Mini Countryman does around 27mpg average.
The power on offer from the engine isn't an issue for me, its the tq, 171lbft(yes I know its got overboost but I dont think to access this I should always have my foot welded to the floor) is not enough for the shove you come to expect of a Cooper S. The new 1.2 turbo from Pug manages the same tq even with 400cc less and a cylinder missing.
Shame they didnt squeeze the new 2ltr in there.
Along with the Paceman its going to feel very out of date when the Clubman also comes along.
Yikes this is one horrible looking over bloated car, .From the rear its dredful all that over styled nonsense.
Before FIAT launched the 500L, I used to think that the Countryman was the most stupid looking car on the road.
Neither look good in photographs but the FIAT does look a tiny bit better in reality because the detailing is less inept. All Minis (and some BMWs for that matter) look worse in reality, which takes some doing.
Never ceases to amaze me how much rubbish you write Paul. Somewhere there's a village missing its idiot...
hahahahaha, that's made my day that!
Seriously? Jeez, specsavers closed down near you has it?
An ugly design made even more ugly.
Good Heavens! They've managed to make it look even worse! I didn't think that was possible. What an achievement.
Never ceases to amaze me how many self deluding fanboys with no visual perception there are out there. Now let's just avoid more personal abuse simply because we disagree.
I don't like abuse but I don't think that counts as such, and it is quite funny! You have to admit that you do sound kind of dumb with your comment.
The Countryman and 500L are ugly, period. Not only in pictures but in real life. IMO, the 500 takes the biscuit as it has that terrible soviet look going on.
What has fanboys gotta do with anything? Mini fanboys calling mini ugly doesn't make sense. If anyones a fanboy it's you for Fiat with all that 500 only looks bad in the photos jibberish! Not only dont you have visual perception, you also dont percive how stupid you look!

Two Americans: Truman, Eisenhower, and a Dangerous World
Category: Biography & Autobiography / Presidents & Heads Of State/Political Science / General/Political Science / Political Process / Leadership/History / United States / 20Th Century
Publisher: Anchor
Release Date: 04/10/2012
Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower, consecutive presidents of the United States, were midwesterners alike in many ways—except that they also sharply differed. Born within six years of each other (Truman in 1884, Eisenhower in 1890), they came from small towns in the Missouri–Mississippi River Valley—in the midst of cows and wheat, pigs and corn, and grain elevators. Both were grandsons of farmers and sons of forceful mothers, and of fathers who knew failure; both were lower middle class, received public school educations, and were brought up in low-church Protestant denominations.
William Lee Miller interweaves Truman's and Eisenhower's life stories, which then also becomes the story of their nation as it rose to great power. They had contrasting experiences in the Great War—Truman, the haberdasher to be, led men in battle; Eisenhower, the supreme commander to be did not. Between the wars, Truman was the quintessential politician, and Eisenhower the thoroughgoing anti-politician. Truman knew both the successes and woes of the public life, while Eisenhower was sequestered in the peacetime army. Then in the wartime 1940s, these two men were abruptly lifted above dozens of others to become leaders of the great national efforts.
Miller describes the hostile maneuvering and bickering at the moment in 1952–1953 when power was to be handed from one to the other and somebody had to decide which hat to wear and who greeted whom. As president, each coped with McCarthyism, the tormenting problems of race, and the great issues of the emerging Cold War. They brought the United States into a new pattern of world responsibility while being the first Americans to hold in their hands the awesome power of weapons capable of destroying civilization.
Reading their story is a reminder of the modern American story, of ordinary men dealing with extraordinary power.

The Maze [part 8]
Ricky chucked the phone on the floor and brought his hands to his head. "The Little shit's been in contact with team 6 all this time"
"Oh my" Rowan bent down and picked up the phone.
"Read the messages Rowan" Said Ricky still furious.
"Ok, The messages that were sent today say" He paused and took a deep breath before continuing "Team 6: "Jimmy what's going on?" Jimmy: "Team 1 are dead and I've been taken by team 3. The kid Ricky is a pain in the ass, he hardly lets me out of his sight so it might be difficult to stay in contact" Team 6: Stay in contact Jimmy, What are they doing keeping you alive?" Jimmy: "They're gonna find you and I'm gonna shout you so you come running and then they're gonna get Ray and take him with them, if I do that for them they're gonna let me live" Team 6: "They ain't gonna let you live Jimmy, we're coming to get you" and that's all" said Rowan, he lowered the phone to see the expression on Ricky's face.
"I'm not kidding, I'm gonna kill him. He's no use to us anymore, our plan is ruined" He looked at me "Good job you saw that phone as we would have all been walking into a trap"
Ricky walked out of the group, stopped and then looked around hastily.
"Where is he?"
"Err..." Rhea started but Ricky had already shot off back down the path.
"Why wasn't anyone watching him?" He shouted back as we all ran after him. Ricky made a sharp left turn and the rest of us nearly fell over trying to keep up with him. He could be miles away by now; there was no way we would find him. Ricky suddenly stopped, walked up to Rowan and grabbed the phone out of his hand.
"Let's text" He said.
We all gathered round him again. He typed into the phone "I got away from them, stupid assholes weren't keeping an eye on me" Ricky looked up at us and we all dropped our heads, he looked back at the phone and continued texting. "Where are you?" He pressed send and we all stood there for a while not knowing what to do next.
"Shh" said Ricky, he held his finger to his lips and we all fell silent and listened. It was nothing.
"Don't matter I thought I heard..." The phone beeped and all our heads snapped back down to look at its screen.
"How do we know you're Jimmy and not team 3? Tell us something only you would say" Ricky rolled his eyes.
"What shall I say?"
"What did he say a lot of?" Rowan held his hand to his head and turned away to think.
"Son of a bitch" Naomi said quietly
"What?" Ricky said
"He used to say son of a bitch a lot, I heard him"
"Err, anything else?" Nobody said anything. "Fine, lets try that then" Ricky began texting again, his message read "Just tell me where you are you son of a bitch" He let out a breath before pressing the send button.
"This is either gonna work like a dream or go terribly wrong" he held the phone in the middle of the group and we all waited for it to go of. We had to wait a good five minutes and when it went off half the group jumped. Ricky laughed and then read the text out loud.
"It has a smiley face and then it says: "Ok Jimmy, we will shoot into the air and blue sparks will appear above where we are ok? Don't worry no one else will find us cuz the sparks will be almost invisible so only people looking will see" Ricky clasped his hands around the phone and shoved it in his pocket.
"Perfect, now we need to be on the look out for blue sparks" We all sat on the floor and tilted our heads back to watch the sky, it was going to be difficult to see in the daylight but it was our only hope. We sat and waited for a while and when those 3 sparks entered the sky we knew it was time for a fight.
