Morales to Propose Decriminalization of Coca at UN
By Jonathan J. Levin
March 10 (Bloomberg) -- Bolivian President Evo Morales heads to Vienna today to ask a United Nations commission to reverse its 48-year-old decision to qualify the coca leaf as a narcotic, Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca said.
The 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs also said chewing of the coca leaf, the raw ingredient in cocaine, must be abolished within 25 years. Coca is consumed widely by Bolivians who say it helps them endure long hours at high altitudes and quell hunger. The leaf is also used in religious ceremonies.
"We believe the '61 convention is unjust; one can't criminalize a natural plant," Choquehuanca said late yesterday. Morales is scheduled to speak tomorrow.
Morales, a former coca farmer, has encouraged the industrialization and possible exportation of coca products such as teas and liqueurs since taking office in 2006. Bolivia is the third-biggest producer of coca in the world after Colombia and Peru. Morales says he opposes cocaine production and that the drug needs to be managed by controlling consumption in the U.S. and Europe.
"We can't go against a culture, and that's what the international community has to understand," Choquehuanca said.
Morales's popularity has grown amid a surge in Bolivian nationalism that glorifies indigenous culture and demonizes the U.S. for its coca eradication programs. A new constitution approved in January for the first time protects coca as a cultural heritage and a "factor in social cohesion."
Choquehuanca also said the coca leaf has nutritional value.
Morales yesterday ordered the expulsion of U.S. diplomat Francisco Martinez, saying he conspired with opposition groups against the government. He didn't elaborate on the reasons for the expulsion.
Morales declared U.S. Ambassador Philip Goldberg "persona non grata" in September and ordered the expulsion of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration on Nov. 3, accusing both of trying to undermine his government.
U.S. State Department press officer Fred Lash said the U.S. rejects the accusation.
"While this behavior might yield political dividends in Bolivia, it certainly does not bode well for efforts to solve our differences through honest dialogue and positive actions," U.S. Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana, the ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement.

The Haerlanders are the descendents of the Keats and Velians who fled south after the Keatish Civil War. They settled in the wild deciduous forests that stretched from south Keatland to the coast. The settlers encountered many strange and fell things in the untamed woods, of which many stories have told, but more have been lost. Their beginning is one that is wrought with great sorrow and toil, for families were turned against one another and many perished in the settling of the Greatwold.
Physical Description
Haerlanders are typically short, though slender and quick-footed. Their faces are long and their lips thin and sad. Whatever their color, Haerlanders' eyes are always bright and keen. Blue and green eyes are the most common. They prefer their hair loose and natural with simple decoration. Red is the most common hair color among the clanns of the Bearwold, but their western-kin have darker colored hair.
Racial Package
All Haerlanders receive the following modifiers and bonuses.
Ability Scores
Haerlanders are slender and swift, but due to their exclusivity they don't get along with most people.
Background Trait
Favored Class
Haerlanders survive on what the forest provides, but mostly the wild beasts of the land. It is for this reason that Haerlanders often choose to be hunters and trappers.

text: Politics 18 June 2010 Struck by friendly fire at the Battle of Bonn Sign up for our weekly email * If you are a normal person - not a politician, activist or negotiator - you might imagine that, at the international talks on a climate-change deal that took place between 31 May and 11 June in Bonn, people were coming together to fight a common enemy and get the best possible deal for humanity. Ha! In fact, the participants were counter-briefing and whingeing about each other from the beginning. Looking back, it feels as though Copenhagen was the moment that the assembled forces - lacking an actual, invading climate-change army to fight across the Danish flatlands - finally went mad and started laying into each other instead. Days of bitter fighting took place in the confines of the Bella Centre, all sense of a common enemy completely lost by the sleepless delegates. As the sun rose over the battlefield on the final day, it fell upon the bodies of delegates, security staff and journalists, with only a stammering Ed Miliband still breathing, the singed pages of the Copenhagen Accord (CA) fluttering in his hand. Now we've had Bonn, the first big UN climate meeting since the Place That Shall Not Be Named. Has the situation improved? Frankly, no. In the intervening months the guerra sucia continued, with huge pressure exerted by the US to have the CA accepted as the core text for any agreement. (The CA, by the way, is the most milquetoast agreement imaginable, with no national targets and lots of "working parties" and "time frames" where numbers and schedules should be: in other words, perfect for the US.) In fact, Washington has been throwing its weight around and refusing to give promised aid to countries such as Bolivia and Ecuador that refuse to sign up. As a result, relations are not exactly cordial. So it's depressing to note that the developing countries, on going through the figures in one of the current drafts of a possible agreement, have spotted that rich countries had come up with a few accountancy fiddles that would allow them to cut their emissions even less. Under the new rules for calculating emissions from forestry and surplus carbon allowances, rich countries, in fact, could even increase their emissions. By 8 per cent! How on earth does that work? Outside the talks, activists continue to push as hard as possible for parts of the Cochabamba People's Agreement to find their way into the final agreement. But much as I would love to see the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change recognise "Mother Earth as the source of life", I can't believe it's going to happen. When I think of the people arrayed, supposedly to save us from disaster, I see two groups increasingly divided by an ideological gap that will never be bridged. What we need now is a bit of hard-headed realism. The US and Chinese negotiating teams are made up of those who take the same approach to Mother Earth as a record company takes to a young band starting up: how can we milk this for maximum possible profit? It's pointless to hope we can make these people more cuddly - we can't. How can we make it financially imperative for them to get real? Some proper strategic thinking, please, so that we can get this army all fighting the same enemy.

Pets - Microchipping Your Pet
Wednesday, 14 November 2007
Today, we discuss pet security and safety and demonstrate micropchipping your pet in studio.
Siobhan O'Malley, Mayo VET
Siobhan has been in practice for 3 yrs and is one of the vets featured on the brand new RTE series 'Vets on Call - (Mayo)' due for transmission: Friday 2nd November, RTE One, 8.30pm
She practices in Crossmolina, Co. Mayo and became a Vet due to her absolute love of Wildlife and Nature.
When she's not up at 4am birthing animals, or wading through muddy fields, Siobhan loves treating herself to Spa treatments and topping up her shoe collection - currently sitting at 150 pairs!
The highs of her job... The wildlife, the animals, her love of nature. . .The lows... The early starts and the mud!
Microchipping your pet
Losing a pet can be a heartbreaking experience for anyone. Over the years, there have been many methods used to identify pets such as tags, collars and even tattoos. Microchipping is the first permanent method.
What is microchipping?
Microchipping means having a tiny computer chip with an identification number programmed into it, injected under the skin of your pet where it will stay forever.
Why should we microchip?
It provides a permanent and safe identification for the animal that can't be removed. It is an inexpensive way to protect your pet against loss or theft. While other methods of identification have been invented over the years, they are by no means permanent. You can take a collar or a tag off; a tattoo can be altered or can be removed completely with ink. When pets are stolen, often their ear tattoos are cut off.
How does it work?
Does it hurt?
No more then the pet getting its annual vaccines.
What is the process?
The microchip is small enough to fit inside a hypodermic needle and it is simply injected under the skin of our pets. The microchip contains a 15-digit number. It is unique to the pet - no two numbers will be the same.
What does this number tell us?
A scanner is used to read this number. Every vet and shelter has a scanner. A radio signal from the scanner reads the number through the skin of the pet. The microchip company and database will have all of the owner's information corresponding to the identification number. If your pet is picked up as a stray and he is microchipped, a quick phone call to the microchip company will have your information, and your pet will soon be home safe. There are 3 main companies in Ireland - the ISPCA, Fido and
The Irish Kennel Club.
How will the person who finds my pet know they have a micro-chip?
Your pet will have a collar tag with a 1-800 number to call on it.
How easy is it for owners to change the info if they move?
A simple phonecall to the manufacturing company and you can change the details. There is even an online form you can fill out.
Where can we get it done? For what cost?
Your veterinarian will do this for you. The fee is set by your veterinarian and is approximately

Can I Get a Tummy Tuck After Lapband Surgery?
Doctor Answers 3
Can I Get a Tummy Tuck After Lapband Surgery?
Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
Learn more: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/Procedure_tummyTuck.htm
Yes Get a Tummy Tuck After LapBand But Watch Out for that Port and Band
Your band is inside of you. The port is the only part on outside of you. You have a plastic hallow tube traversing the muscles of your abdomen connecting the two. The tummy tuck is performed around and in the area of the port and tubing therefore you really need a surgeon who understands LabBands specifically.
1. Ask your bariatric surgeon if they have a plastic surgeon they can recommend.
2. Some bariatric surgeons do tummy tucks and body contouring procedures. The upside of this, is they are really skilled in bands, loose skin, and complex surgical candidates.
Good luck and congrats on the weight loss!!!
Tummy tuck after Lap-Band
Yes, you can have a tummy tuck after Lap-Band surgery. We recommend waiting until your weight loss has stabilized and to use a plastic surgeon familiar with Lap-Band surgery. Many times during the tummy tuck I change the prot to a low profile and port and sometimes bury it under the muscles so there is no bulge from the port as well.

Dance Takes Center Stage at Armory this December
To culminate its first full season of cultural programming, Park Avenue Armory will present three epic dance programs in November and December 2011, including the final performance of the legendary Merce Cunningham Dance Company on New Year's Eve. Marking the end of the Company's two-year Legacy Tour and nearly 60 years of creativity, the historic site-specific Park Avenue Armory Events will celebrate the artistic genius of Merce Cunningham and showcase the seminal influence that his company has had on visual and performing arts and the American avant garde.
The Armory will also present an evening-length performance by Shen Wei Dance Arts, including the world premiere of a new work influenced by Shen Wei's time as an Armory artist-in-residence that heralds the next direction of the ensemble. STREB Extreme Action will showcase new gravity-defying works performed throughout the Armory's expansive 55,000-square-foot, 70-foot-high Wade Thompson Drill Hall. Highlighting the distinctive choreographic styles of each company, the three programs will draw upon the Armory's scale and character, and immerse the audience in performances unhindered by the constraints of traditional spaces.
Tickets for all three dance programs are on sale beginning August 15, 2011. To purchase tickets and for more information please visit www.armoryonpark.org.
"Each of these three dance companies is known for mounting performances in non-traditional spaces, and each program at the Armory showcases new works that are informed by and that respond to the unique characteristics of our expansive drill hall. The end result provides visitors with immersive and engaging experiences with dance that dynamically connect the artists with the audience in dramatically different ways," stated Rebecca Robertson, President and Executive Producer of Park Avenue Armory. "We hope that visitors will dance with us at the Armory this December, as they experience site-specific performances by Shen Wei Dance Arts, STREB, and the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, who we are especially honored to be presenting in a final historic engagement."

Following his year-long creative exploration as a Park Avenue Armory artist-in-residence, Artistic Director Shen Wei and his company, Shen Wei Dance Arts, will perform a bold new work that heralds the next direction for the ensemble. Created during the Company's residence at the Armory, this site-specific world premiere will combine handcrafted scenic elements with an expansive digital projection in a performance that makes dynamic use of the boundless possibilities available in the Wade Thompson Drill Hall. The evening-length program will also include the restaging of two of Shen Wei's most celebrated works: Rite of Spring (2003), a study of deliberate versus reflexive movement set to Igor Stravinsky's intricate music; and Folding (2000), which combines highly stylized movement with the ethereal melodies of John Tavener and traditional Tibetan Buddhist chants. The evening will culminate with the newly commissioned work by Shen Wei, which will take over the entire drill hall.

Kiss the Air!
Action Architect and Choreographer: Elizabeth Streb

New York's own "action heroes," STREB Extreme Action stretch the limitations of the human body. Choreographer and MacArthur "genius" award recipient Elizabeth Streb will take over the Armory's expansive Wade Thompson Drill Hall with Kiss the Air!, a performance of new large-scale works that incorporate ziplines, ladders, trampolines, hoops, and bungee cords. Among the works will be Ascension, which encompasses a 21-foot turning ladder on which nine dancers attempt to balance. Human Fountain features sixteen performers leaping from a three-storey scaffold to create the effect of a human Bellagio Fountain. Also included are Falling Sideways, which uses stuntmen's Air Ramps to hurl the dancers past the audience, and Kiss The Air! in which dancers in bungees fly over the audience-and a pool of water. Part aerial dance, part daredevil act, Elizabeth Streb's work defies the natural laws of motion and gravity to create a visual and auditory tour de force.
December 29 - 31, 2011, at 6:30pm & 9:00pm
Tickets: $10
Park Avenue Armory Events
Choreography by Merce Cunningham
Arranged by Robert Swinston
Music composed and performed by the MCDC Music Committee
The Merce Cunningham Dance Company returns to New York City-its home since its founding in 1953-for six historic final performances at the Armory, culminating a two-year farewell Legacy Tour that brought the Company to more than 50 cities worldwide. For this last engagement, the Company will perform a series of Events created especially for the occasion across multiple stages in the Armory's dramatic drill hall. The Company has mounted these signature site-specific choreographic collages in unusual locations around the world throughout its nearly 60-year history, including two previous engagements in the Armory's drill hall, a 1983 performance and the 2009 public memorial for the legendary dancer and choreographer. The Park Avenue Armory Events mark the final opportunity for audiences to experience first-hand the work of Merce Cunningham as performed by the Company he personally trained and to celebrate Cunningham's lifetime of creative achievement with the Company before it disbands.

Sunday Night Football Schedule 2012: Best Early-Season Matchups in PrimetimeSeptember 13, 2012
NBC's Sunday Night Football schedule includes many early-season matchups between several of the NFL's elite teams.
Last week's matchup between the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers was a great start to the Sunday night schedule, which is only going to get better in the next few weeks.
Let's look at the best early-season Sunday Night Football matchups on NBC.
Week 2 (September 16): Detroit Lions at San Francisco 49ers, 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC
This is a rematch of last year's battle in Detroit, which San Francisco won. However, the story of the game was the handshake between 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh and Lions head coach Jim Schwartz. As you can see in the video above, the handshake resulted in an altercation between the teams.
This year, both teams enter the matchup after winning their season openers, and the 49ers' impressive victory over the Green Bay Packers has them atop many NFL Power Rankings lists.
The Lions will be in trouble if star wide receiver Calvin Johnson cannot play because of an injury. Here is the latest, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Lions WR Calvin Johnson did not practice today. May be nothing, may be something. Lions will update injury report later.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 12, 2012
Without Johnson, the 49ers will be able to dare the Lions to run the ball because quarterback Matthew Stafford will have a much tougher time being successful in the passing game without his No. 1 target.
This is the worst team that the Lions could face without Johnson because the 49ers have the best defense in the NFL. Even if Johnson plays, don't expect the Lions, who struggled to beat an inferior St. Louis Rams team in Week 1, to defeat the 49ers on the road.
Week 3 (September 23): New England Patriots at Baltimore Ravens, 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC
The rematch of last year's AFC Championship is one that many fans have had circled on their calendars for months. The Ravens will get another shot to beat the Patriots, this time at home, and a victory for Baltimore would give them an early advantage over New England in the race for the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed.
Both teams are No. 1 and 2 in many experts' AFC power rankings heading into Week 2, and each team has a strong case for the top spot. The outcome of this game will settle the power rankings debate for now.
The last time that New England played in Baltimore, they almost lost their unbeaten record during the 2007 season on Monday Night Football, but escaped with a 27-24 victory.
Expect Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis and the entire Baltimore crowd to be pumped up for this AFC showdown.
Week 4 (September 30): New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles, 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC
This NFC East matchup will be a close game, and even though the New York Giants have been more successful in the playoffs than the Eagles over the last few years, Philadelphia has won six of the last eight regular season meetings against Big Blue.
The Eagles barely beat the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 with quarterback Michael Vick throwing four interceptions before winning the game in the fourth quarter.
The Giants defense, and their front seven in particular, will be a tough matchup for Vick. The Eagles offensive line will need to prevent Vick from getting hit too much, or they could lose him to another injury. Philadelphia is only going to win the Super Bowl if Vick is healthy for an entire season.

Autumn Low Carb Bootcamp - The Questions Thread(339 Posts)
Welcome everybody!
As there are lots of us signed up for the next Bootcamp, you will find that the chat thread moves very quickly! It can be the case, therefore, that questions get missed - hence starting this thread. If you have a specific question or issue, please post it here to make sure that it gets answered. I will do my best to check this thread as often as I can - and if others can answer your question then they will do so as well.
I thought it might be a good idea to start off with some FAQs that often get asked, just to help save a bit of time! So here goes:
How many carbs should I be eating per day to make sure that I lose weight?
There are a couple of points to make here. First, Bootcamp is designed to make low carbing as easy as possible. One of the things that I believe puts people off diets is having to weigh, measure and count everything that they are eating - and of course, this is impossible if you are eating out/on the go. If you make sure that you are following Bootcamp rules, then you should lose weight.
Second, we are different in terms of our ability to cope with carbohydrate. Some people can eat more carbs without gaining weight whereas others have to keep their carbs at quite a low level.
The initial 2 weeks of Bootcamp are designed to be sufficiently low carb for the vast majority of people to lose weight by following it. Although Bootcamp Light (for the remaining 8 weeks of Bootcamp) allows more carbs, it is still supposed to be relatively low carb.
Once you have completed Bootcamp and/or you have reached your target weight, then it's time to start to explore how many carbs you can tolerate before the weight goes back on. And the only way to do this is to experiment by re-introducing carbs. A gradual introduction, along with a vigilant eye on the scales/your waistband will soon tell you if you have overdone it!
Will I ever be able to eat carbs again?!
Absolutely you will - see the answer to the above question! However, if once you reach your target weight you revert back to eating the same level of carbs as you were before you started, then you will put all the weight back on. Carbs make you fat!
The best thing to do is to work out a WOE (way of eating) that keeps the carbs at a sufficiently low level such that you maintain your weight.
By the time you reach your target weight, you will also be ketogenically-adapted, i.e. your body has switched from carb-burning to fat-burning, so the odd night off will not do you too much harm.
How hard is it to eat out when you are low carbing?
It's easier to eat out when you are low carbing than if you are trying to count calories or eat a low fat diet. (As long as you don't find yourself in a restaurant that only serves pizza or pasta!)
The majority of restaurants will have something on their menu that is easily adapted for low carb eating. And it's always possible to ask them to substitute something high carb for something lower carb - so if something is on the menu being served with chips, or rice - ask if they will switch those for a salad, or extra veg. I have never been refused when I have asked this, and it is never an issue.
Some types of restaurants are harder to navigate - Thai is very difficult, not only because of the rice/noodles, but because many of their meals use sugar in the sauces as well as thickeners. At an Indian restaurant, poppadoms, rice, chappattis and naan breads are all (obviously!) out. Aim for a dry curry (so a tandoori or tikka dish), and have that with a side curry such as cauliflower, spinach or mushroom.
The best thing is to be prepared - if the restaurant has a website, have a look to see if they have posted their menu, so you have a chance to see what's available, what you can eat. And you could always ring them in advance to see if they can accommodate any particular needs that you have - mostly restaurants are happy to try and accommodate their customers.
Is it really possible to eat so much fat and still lose weight?
Oh yes! Just ask anyone else who has done Bootcamp! Fat doesn't make you fat. When you eat fat, your body does not produce an insulin spike - unlike when you eat carbs. It is the insulin production that causes your body to lay down fat.
We need fat. It is good for our brains and for our skin.
Also, very importantly, eating fat is very satiating. It is what will help to stop you getting hungry. It's actually quite difficult to eat masses of fat, whereas it's very easy to eat masses of carbs.
Here's a very good piece from a site that's well worth following, all about fat and why it's good for us/isn't going to harm us
Do I have to do any exercise on Bootcamp to lose weight?
Not if you don't want to. Exercise, as a means of losing weight, is way over-rated. You have to exercise a lot and frequently to lose a significant amount of weight. For example, I have recently taken up running. My last run saw me burn 390 calories. That's quite a lot - but that was after running for 30 minutes, and for 5km.
On my plan (and on the advice of my osteopath) I am only supposed to run three times a week. That would mean that in the course of a week I have burnt off 1,170 calories. Not that much in the grand scheme of things - but that's a lot of running!
Exercise can help you, but it's not essential.
I do a lot of regular exercise, and I'm advised by my trainer/the gym to eat plenty of carbs and/or to carb load before I run/cycle/train - what should I do if I'm low carbing?
Once you are ketogenically-adapted, you will be able to train quite happily whilst following a low carb diet. Your body will be using fat as its fuel source - and let's face it, most of us have plenty of fat readily available for that. Whereas with carbs, our bodies actually only store a limited amount in our muscles and our liver. Once these have gone, and we have emptied our glycogen stores, that's when you will find yourself 'hitting the wall' or 'bonking'. This is why serious athletes often have to carry various gels and drinks - so that they can replenish their carbs/glycogen very quickly. This won't happen if you are burning fat.
If you're in doubt, there's a very good book called "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance" by Drs Jeff S Volek and Stephen D Phinney. Here is a description of the book from the Amazon website:
"A Revolutionary Program to Extend Your Physical and Mental Performance Envelope. Our recent book 'The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living' was written for health care professionals, championing the benefits of carbohydrate restriction to manage insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and type-2 diabetes. In response, our athlete friends asked "What about us?" This companion book is our answer, and it could be titled: 'The Art and Science of Avoiding the BONK'. But actually, it is much much more than that. The keto-adapted athlete benefits from superior fuel flow not only when nearing glycogen depletion, but also during training, recovery, and in response to resistance exercise as well."
If I have a large glass of wine when bootcamp is over, can I compensate with extra exercise the next day?
In other words, if the body is looking for carbs to burn first, and I do a bit more to burn off those carbs, would that make it quicker for my body to go back to burning fat?
Torro - in theory, yes. But exercise is actully only a small part of the weight-loss in practice, because you need to do a huge amount of exercise to compensate. A calorie is not always a calorie! But it helps. Drink lotrs of water too.
Pixie the carbier things there will obviously be the coconut flour and the coconut milk. I don't know what garlic powder has in it. You will need to look at the carb counts on the products you have and work it out based on the quantities and portion sizes
Thanks captain. The thought of a nice glass of Merlot with a steak next weekend is keeping me going!
I won't cave in this weekend - too close to completing bootcamp.
Anyone know if mustard is ok?
And the lowest-carb stock cubes. I can't seem to find an answer on the various threads.
Maryz I think knorr (sp) ones are fairly low, depending on what I am cooking, I eater them down a bit more where I can.
I think mustard should be ok as you tend to on,y use small amounts, DH has it a lot, but check the packet to be sure!
Thanks MrsHP. I wanted to add a dollop of grainy mustard to my fried mushrooms.
I am checking carbs, but I haven't yet really got the hang of what is "low-carb". It's early days.
What brand, Maryz?
A teaspoon of the tesco one (which is higher carb than some other brands) is 0.5g so if it is a small amount it would be fine. I wouldn't go smothering it willy nilly all over everything, but a teaspoon on mushrooms I reckon would be fine!
Well, actually <whispers> it's the Lakeshore wholdgrain mustard with Guinness, so it may not be ok (11.2 carb per 100g)
<reminds self to google before asking stupid questions>
Well a teaspoon is about 5g so you are looking at about 0.5/0.6 g per teaspoon if that helps!
Yes, I suppose.
But I have vowed to do the two weeks with nothing more than 3% carbs, and I think I've done it so far apart from a spoonful of red curry paste divided between six.
So I will just add more butter.
Getting to end of 2nd week on bootcamp and think I'm doing fine. Not finding it too hard to stick to and feeling great. Problem comes next weekend. I'm going to be doing a sort of challenge day for charity involving running, mountain biking, kayaking etc for the whole day. The info we get says to bring snacks for energy e.g. cereal bars, chocolate etc. What can I bring? Don't want to go right off the rails but equally not keen to keel over in the middle of it. Think they provide some lunch but I would expect that will be carb heavy.
That's an interesting challenge! I suspect your friend may be packs of cooked meat - ham chicken, pepperami etc. Should give you plenty of energy but will take longer to release it so you'll need to eat before you need it, if you k ow what I mean.
Nuts would be good. You can also buy individual portions of cheese from M&S which would work well. Hard boiled eggs? (All depends on how much you can carry of course!)
If all else fails, some Atkins Daybreak Bars would be a good compromise. Yes, they are processed, but they are low in carbs too. Boots and Sainsbury's sell them (not sure about Tesco because I don't shop there very often)
Thanks for the advice. Think I'll bring a combination of the above - love hardboiled eggs, cheese and nuts so that should do. Which nuts are best? Might also get the atkins bar things. I suppose even if they aren't great its better than stuffing in a bar of dairy milk! I shall let you know how it goes.
There is an evening party after but happily it's a hog roast so should be ok (as long as I avoid the beer).
Macadamias are the best, and almonds.
I have had a few hiccups so not really expecting much weight loss. I basically want to loose 13lbs by Xmas -am thinking Ilb a week might be more achievable
steppingonlego Maximuscle Promax Meal Bar were on offer in my tesco express for about £1.40. Not sure whats in them but they claim to be high protein and high fibre.
Help Willie. I'm trying to enter my weight for 30th September. When I highlight my cell and enter the weight it goes into SteppingonLego's row.
Willie's away at the mo, stinker. I'm sure she'll get on it when she's back - it may be that you've been 'archived'. That happens if you don't enter for a week or so - just because it mucks up the averages.
sorry stinker - i'm away with work and what with all the
wining and dining meetings i'm not really keeping up!
it looks to me like you've successfully entered for yourself (7lb loss in two weeks? bloody well done), so it may well be just the boxes not rendering properly in whatever device you're using to access (sorry, the spreadsheet is a bit clunky on some devices and platforms)
WWd - if you're back could you see unarchive me please ?

Now the story is she just returned them out of the goodness of her heart. I'm all for her doing the right thing but it sounds like she wasn't going to do it if Summit didn't give her all the things she wanted. Her lawyer said Ray agreed to return the scripts to Summit Entertainment if she was invited to the premieres for both films and the after-parties. After the films are released, she will receive the scripts that she found, certified by the studio for authenticity and signed by the writer and lead actor and actress. So I'm not exactly sure I want to give her a pat on the back because it sounded like the scripts were returned with conditions.Jacyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416792064076825073.post-59331033285524859422009-05-12T03:55:00.000+01:002009-05-12T03:55:00.000+01:00Yeah, That could be.

One teaspoon of caustic soda in 1 liter of water, sprayed on (this will open the grain). Then after it has dried use a garlic/onion/pepper and microbe (worm tea) spray then let it dry again. It will stall any rot but eventually it will decompose. Thats life unfortunately.
Edit: you can apply beeswax but i would only use that for indoors.

I think we decided that the number of users who have this problem and would be using upgraded pg_dumpall to upgrade to 8.1 is too small.

Jefferson County Sheriff Gerald Robinson has accused the County Quorum Court of failing to ensure adequate funding of some departments and approve a realistic budget for others.
Jefferson County Sheriff Gerald Robinson has accused the County Quorum Court of failing to ensure adequate funding of some departments and approve a realistic budget for others.
In a letter to Public Safety/Emergency Services Committee Chairman Herman Ginger, Robinson said he believed the sheriff�s office and the detention facilities it operates � the adult jail and juvenile detention center � are �bearing the burden of the county�s shortfalls.�
Robinson was reacting to a decision by Ginger to pull proposed six-month budgets for the adult jail, juvenile detention center and the Public Safety Sales Tax, which provides funding for the juvenile center and sheriff�s department, during committee meetings Tuesday night.
Click here to view the full text of Sheriff Robinson's letter and the proposed legislation referenced in it.
After the Tuesday meeting, Ginger said the sheriff�s department and the detention centers were over budget and if the three budgets were extended for another three months, �they would be approximately $300,000 in arrears.�
Both the adult jail and juvenile center are currently operating with three-month budgets which will expire at the end of March. The same is true of the Public Safety Sales Tax, which also provides funding for volunteer fire departments.
In his letter, Robinson said the issue developed after Jefferson County Treasurer Elizabeth Rinchuso projected a revenue shortfall of approximately $2 million for this year, and after 2013 budgets for every other county agency and department had been submitted and approved.
�However, there seemed to have been a deliberate rejection for budgets submitted by the Jefferson County Sheriff�s Office and the detention facilities I oversee, i.e., the Jack Jones Juvenile Justice Center and W.C. �Dub� Brassell Adult Detention Center seemingly leaving our departments on the hook for a decade of oversights and gross financial responsibility,� Robinson said. �While I appreciate the seriousness of the current economic climate, I do not believe that vital services such as public safety should disproportionately bear the burden of the county�s shortfalls.�
Robinson went on to say that the sheriff�s office �has never expended beyond their annual budget approved by the governing body.�
�As spending for many departments has increased and supplemental funding approved by the full court, the Jefferson County Sheriff�s Office has remained within the confines of our approved budgets as it has over the last six years,� Robinson said.
The sheriff also questioned Ginger about three separate appropriation ordinances, one each for 2010, 2011 and 2012 that transferred money from the Detention Facilities M&O Reserve Fund (the quarter-cent sales tax for operation of the adult jail) and the Public Safety Sales Tax to District Court. As chairman of Public Safety/Emergency Services, Ginger was listed as the Justice of the Peace that introduced those ordinances.
According to the letter, those three appropriations totaled $1.479 million and Robinson wanted to know why the funds were used for district court, which falls under the judicial system, and not detention.
Additionally, Robinson asked if money received from the sale of the old adult jail to the Department of Correction had been appropriated. He said that since Public Safety money was used for the initial construction, �the funds should have been deposited or re-appropriated back into Public Safety.�
Contacted Thursday afternoon, Ginger said he had not seen the letter from Robinson. After a copy of the letter was faxed to him, he did not immediately return a second call for comment.
Robinson acknowledged that the sheriff�s office budget is probably the largest of the county�s constitutional officers but said the sheriff�s office has the ability to generate �quite a bit of revenue since the opening of the new County Jail and prior through a steady increase on the collection of fines and civil process.�
Among the programs Robinson listed as helping to increase revenue were pay for stay, the jail commissary, four Clean Teams, recycling efforts, profit from prisoner telephone calls and state and federal seizures.
�In spite of these efforts, the Quorum Court has chosen to implement what some would consider a county sequester by suggesting laying off personnel employed with such a vital entity as those in the career field of public safety and detention,� Robinson said in the letter. �This was suggested in lieu of the governing body reviewing all Jefferson County department budgets more thoroughly and on a more consistent basis to identify budget cuts on a priority funding pursuant to the Arkansas Constitution.�
State law requires that county governments must fund courts first, then law enforcement protection and the custody of people accused or convicted of crimes second, followed by real and personal property tax administration, court and public records management and finally other services prescribed by state law for the performance of each elected county officer or department of county government.
Among the items the county may fund if money is available are solid waste services, utility services, community services and emergency services other than law enforcement protection and detention services.
�The suggestion of the proposal to cut funding and/or force the layoff of detention and sheriff�s personnel et al and action thereof by the Quorum Court in essence leaves the Jefferson County Sheriff�s Office and the entities it oversees, i.e., Jack Jones Juvenile Justice Center and W.C. �Dub� Brassell Adult Detention Center inadequately funded,� Robinson said in the letter. �In conclusion, these actions place the full court in direct violation of the plain language included (in) the Arkansas Constitution relative to proper funding of the Sheriff�s Office.�
The letter said budgets for some county departments are not adequate and �as such, Peter has been robbed to pay Paul by borrowing funds from next year�s budget or introducing legislation in the form of Appropriation Ordinances to shift funds from one place to another even in cases where the funds were originally appropriated for other uses by voters.
�We all know that isn�t a sustainable business model and because the court did not have a long-term funding solution it appears that my office is being forced to address the looming crisis,� Robinson said in the letter.

BREA – With the Century League title within its grasp, Villa Park continued to take control of its destiny. But the Spartans had to exert every bit of energy to hold off Brea Olinda, 31-26, Friday night at Brea Olinda High.
Meki Tafuna (131 yards rushing, 3 TDs) and Dylan Osborne (235 yards passing) ignited the attack for the Spartans (7-1, 4-0) as Villa Park won its fifth consecutive game and remained alone in first place.
Trailing 28-13 at the half, Wildcats QB Auggie Buonocure threw a TD pass and ran for a touchdown in the third quarter to cut the lead to 28-26.
Brea Olinda had two late chances to go ahead but Grant Klasna and Ralph Valle intercepted Buonocure's passes on consecutive possessions to foil the Wildcats' comeback bid.
Villa Park can clinch a tie for the league crown with a victory over Canyon next week. The Wildcats, who had won three of their last four games, fell to 4-4 and 2-2. Brea Olinda finishes the season with games against Foothill and El Dorado and will need victories to stay in the playoff hunt.
Villa Park took the opening kickoff and marched 52 yards in nine plays to take a 7-0 lead. Michael Vega capped the drive with a 7-yard TD run. Following a Brea Olinda punt, the Spartans moved down field again and upped its lead to 14-0 on a Meki Tafuna 5-yard TD run.
The Wildcats countered by scoring on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Buoncuore to Derek Anderson midway through the first quarter to cut the lead to 14-7. However, Tafuna added another short TD run late in the quarter to increase the lead to 21-7.
Zach Osborne caught a 42-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter for the Wildcats but Tafuna added his third TD of the game — a 6-yard run — following a Brea Olinda turnover late in the first half, giving the Spartans a 28-13 lead at intermission.
Josh Vizcaya led Brea Olinda with 136 yards rushing.
Buoncuore completed 16 passes for 200 yards and three TDs for the Wildcats.
"I love this (Century) league because its so competitive, you have to show up and play every week," Brea Olinda coach Robb Perrance said.

Updated Sunday: A car driving down N 39th St. collided with a SUV at Fremont Ave., and the resulting crash injured two pedestrians, witnesses say. The driver of the Chevy Nova, bloodied in the crash, ran away from the scene. Witnesses say he was last seen running down N 39th to Dayton.
The accident happened at 11:30 Sunday morning. Witnesses say one pedestrian suffered major injuries from flying debris, and another sustained minor injuries. Two people in the SUV were injured, as well as a passenger in the Nova. A total of four people were taken to the hospital.
Witnesses tell us the Nova drove through a red light. Police are searching for the driver, who's wanted in the hit and run. He's described as a man with black hair in a ponytail, wearing a red shirt, with a significant amount of blood on him. If you see the suspect, you're asked to call 911.
Officers are following up on several leads, including a Ballard address on the car registration as well as a walk-in patient at Harborview Medical Center, but so far no confirmation of an arrest.
Update: Police now believe the car was stolen. (Thanks, Silver for the tips!)
