20/03/11 spring: a rebirth (english majors unite!)
any english major or english enthusiasts knows the mention of spring in a piece of writing means a rebirth. today happens to mark the first day of spring or, the first day of rebirth.
right now, i am certain of one thing: i am unhappy.
okay, i am certain of a few things.
i am unhappy. all right — accepted.
i am certain the healthy living blog-o-sphere no longer works as a healthy motivator for me. rather, it's working against me, triggering major, major issues. accepted.
those three stretch marks? real. not fake. accepted.
the thing i am most certain of? things need to change. for real. accepted.
so i am starting over. overhauling, if you will. and i would love it if you'd join me :)!

17/03/11 you're not thinking, you're feeling
well, i am thinking a few things.
i'm thinking spicy veggie nachos should be eaten every day.
i'm thinking steam burns hurt. really, really badly.
i'm thinking about how amazing and beautiful this book i finished today is.
i'm feeling more things than i am thinking, though.
i'm feeling accomplished for being binge free for three days in a row and proud for catching myself at the beginning of one this morning.
because, you see my loves, this morning i woke up late. like, 11:00 am late. who am i?
i woke up feeling sad.
i woke up feeling anxious.
i'm feeling guilty for cutting my 90 minute yoga session short. the negative chatter in my mind was too distracting to finish the last forty or so minutes of movement. i caved to the negative.
i'm feeling heartbroken, because i allowed myself yesterday to acknowledge just how heartbroken i really am (about k…)
i'm feeling doubtful, of myself, my purpose.
i'm feeling incredibly uncomfortable in my skin.
i want to be this girl again:
this girl is happy. she is balanced. she is in love with life and its endless possibilities. and she's in love with herself.
she weighs less (truthful things i don't feel like thinking or feeling about right now).
and, you know, i should be happy. yesterday went pretty well. i climbed my first v3 rated bouldering route. i basically decided the cute boy at the rock wall definitely thinks i'm cute. i've been feeding myself well and listening to my body. i've been moving in ways i like, not in ways i think i am "supposed" to be moving in. i'm moving through life right now but doing so feeling kind of empty.
earlier i talked to my mom. about everything. she told me something i can't quiet shake out of my head: "you're not thinking, you're feeling."
she couldn't be more right.
i am feeling alone. i am feeling "fat". i am feeling empty. i am feeling unworthy. i am feeling doubt. i am feeling sad. i am feeling so much i am forgetting to think.
about how loved i truly am.
about how much support i have.
about how worthy i am of life, love, happiness, and all the good bits and pieces in between.
i'm feeling so much i am forgetting to focus on what i have as opposed to what i don't have.
i'm forgetting my body is an amazing thing, not something i should feel so miserable about.
i'm not thinking about all the possibilities life has for me right at this very moment.
i'm just not thinking.
right now, though? well, it's a wonderful time to start thinking and forget feeling for a moment. the best way to do that? spend a night on the dance floor with your friends and some dubstep. have a safe saint patricks!
what are you feeling instead of thinking?
15/03/11 i'm not working out today
i'm not working out today.
it's raining outside. jillian michaels couldn't motivate my ass if she tried. my yoga mat feels farther away than it actually is. and my bed has me held captive since waking up over an hour ago. don't try and rescue me. i can handle myself 😉
honestly though, i'm not working out today. something about typing that out three times makes it more real. last week i managed to fit movement of some kind into each of the seven days. the week before i did the same thing.
two days ago, as it rained outside, i sat inside with a friend. the rain came into our conversation and we both agreed how dreary it was, how unmotivating. i told her recently, motivating myself to work out has been really difficult, that all i really want to do is stay in bed and sleep all day. to which she replied: "well, you work out a lot. it's okay to take a break you know."
it's okay to take a break? wait, excuse me? what? it's okay? to take a break?
it's okay to take a break!
(i guess i need to write things out more than once to reaffirm them for myself…)
her words kind of hit me hard. i never take breaks. i never sit on the couch all day and watch tv. i never spend all morning, all afternoon, all day in bed. recently, however, it seems like that's all my body is up to doing. i've been sleeping a lot more than usual. a lot. i've been waking up two hours past the time i've been waking up at for the past two years. i never want to leave my bed. it doesn't matter how many hours of sleep i get i still feel sluggish through out the entire day, exercise or no exercise. i'm not drinking coffee so i know it's not that. but i know something's off. i'm not cooking. i'm not writing. it's a chore to eat anything as my appetite barely exists. my mind and body are so worn down.
maybe a rest day will help. maybe listening to my body's cues (for once) for rest will reinvigorate me. who told me i needed to work out every day anyway? whose "healthy" advice replaced my own? i'm not going to lie — it's going to take some effort to quell the anxiety over not moving. it's going to take effort to rest. hah! what a sentence.
regardless, i'm fucking tired. so excuse me, if you will, i've got a day long date with my bed until i have to tie on my green apron at four and barista till close. which is at 11. i'm off at 11:30 pm. hmmm…maybe starbucks has a hand in my depleted energy levels…
when was the last time you stayed in bed all day?
14/03/11 health is supposed to be easy, right?
the other day, gena, of choosing raw, wrote a post in which she quotes a friend of hers bemoaning the fact that he could mess up something as "simple" as being healthy. "mess up" essentially refers to anything that might sabotage your road to a healthier life style.
supposedly, we all know eating a family size bag of chips isn't "healthy". we all know eating a half dozen oreos in front of the tv at ten at night isn't "healthy". neither is washing down a big mac with a soda. or overindulging at the buffet.
"healthy" means eating all your vegetables. and then some. "healthy" is working out at least a half hour every day. "healthy" is passing on dessert. "healthy" is fitting into your skinny jeans, your bikinis, your short-shorts.
…but why?
i use quotation marks because health is personal. health is objective. we all have our own opinions on health and what it should look like, what it should be like. regardless, health is supposed to be simple but, as gena so eloquently underlined, it's not. at least for a lot of people it's not. health and healthy living can be challenging. and i want to know why. why do we feel guilt, shame, and embarrassment about our bodies and about our food choices? why do we tell the waitress "i'm going to but i really shouldn't…" when she asks if we want fries. why shouldn't we? because it's not "healthy"? according to who?
as a society i feel as if our attitude towards health is a jumble of opinions. i constantly feel pulled in opposing directions: low carb! high carb! no carb! but wait, there's low fat, high fat, no sugar, no fruit, all fruit, vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian. there's run, don't run, yogayogayoga, no! lift weights!, embrace the treadmill, shun the treadmill.
where does it end?
where do our real opinions about health begin and our informed opinions of health end? or do they consistently clash against one another?
to me, healthy is eating balanced meals. health is eating that fucking cookie if you want it. it's feeling happy and content with life a good chunk of the time. health includes a normal amount of exercise that feels right, not forced. most importantly, to me, health is self-love.
i know what health to me looks like. hell, i know what it feels like. yet, i'm not sure i'm living up to my personal standards of health. in fact, i'm sure i'm "messing up" health. the past year and a half has been a complete health overhaul. i went pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan, eating only carrots-hummus-broccoli-crackers-tarian. i went no running, running thiry minutes, running forty-five minutes, running over an hour and working out more later that night. i went gluten free, sugar free, apple free, carb free. basically, i ended up everywhere but healthy.
now, i can chant "health, health, health" all day but "blow it" anyway. i can declare i am going to eat balanced breakfasts, lunches, and dinners but do nothing of the sort and instead find myself hoarding a jar of almond butter or peering into my fridge for something else to eat on top of my dinner, something i never did even when i was "unhealthy". clearly, there's an issue. clearly, i can talk all this talk but never seem to walk the fucking walk. clearly, my dear readers, i am failing at this whole health business.
i think i've allowed too many outside opinions about health to influence and re-shape my own. our bodies are smart cookies. they send us cues we often ignore. and my body is different than your body and the body of the nutritionist writing an article on health for cosmo and it is different than the body of the pin-thin girl in the drive through at work who orders a venti white mocha and a sausage sandwich everyday. i am so tired of not owning and accepting my body for what it is. i feel all mixed up and confused now. do i want to be vegan? or do i want to be vegan to avoid certain foods? do i want to be sugar free? or do i want to be sugar free because i don't trust myself around foods with sugar? do i want to work out every day? or do i work out because i'm "supposed" to?
the other day candace said something to me that struck a chord. it was something along the lines of "zoe, you're really healthy. you are probably the healthiest person i know. but you should do things you want to do, not things you think you're "supposed" to do."
and you know, i think she's right. in fact, i know she's right. i think i need to take a step back and re-evaluate why i do the things i do. there should be no "good" and "bad" foods. there should be no reason i binge and restrict. there should be no "right" way to exercise. there should only be "i enjoy this" and "i don't enjoy this." you know what i enjoy? being healthy for me — on my own terms.
right now my relationship with health needs to be addressed. it needs to be mended. there are some serious gaps and they're only continuing to grow. and as a woman on a mission for self-love, i think this is a really big step in the right direction. baby-steps are key here, though. i'm too much of a go big or go home type of gal and so far that's only ever back fired for me. patience and more patience are key here. and deep breaths. lots of them.
so here's to rediscovering and redefining personal health — one little baby step at a time.
what do you think — are we so health crazy that we've lost touch with the true meaning of health? is there a true meaning of health? and what does health look like to you anyway?let me know!

13/03/11 decisions (times ten)
i've made a few decisions.
one was to not follow through on the challenge i alluded to yesterday. because yesterday happened and it happened in a way i am not proud of. the challenge will have to wait.
the second decision i've made is to stop writing about all the negativity i'm grappling with. i know i constantly push for honesty, but i fear i'm only constantly whining and i really doubt anyone wants to listen much to all that noise anymore. this blog and the blog-o-sphere aren't my counselors, after all. i guess some thoughts should just stay in my head, you know?
so, the third decision i guess, is to focus on less downer things.
like a new favorite blog…
she's hilarious and i love her eating and fitness tips.
which leads me to decision number four…cutting down my carb intake (i.e: bananas, carrots, apples, dates…high sugar carbs. veggies i will eat endlessly :)!) and upping my fat and protein intake. i need to figure out how to best eat for my body and right now, i'm stuck in a food rut. not a food groove. my mood is all over the place and i've read about mass amounts of carbs with high sugar affecting moods. since i already know i am super sensitive to sugar sugar, i figure this experiment won't hurt. additionally, i'm not exercising in a way that requires mass amounts of carbs. i needed the carbs when i ran incessantly but i don't run more than 2 times a week. and i'm not going to lie: my fat intake recently comes only from unsweetened chocolate, some tahini, coconut, the occasional avocado, a splash or two of olive oil, and flax seed. the problem: too much saturated fat, not enough poly and mono unsaturated fats. i know (natural) saturated fats are necessary, but i think i've over done them.
in fact, i think i've over done chocolate. so decision number five is cutting out chocolate. again. i felt really great without it for those two months i went without it. the caffeine in chocolate affects me.
as does the caffeine in coffee. it makes me feel like a crazy person. so i'm done with coffee for the moment. decision six.
decision seven? incorporating HIIT into my exercise routine. i'm not going to lie: i'm trying to lose weight. and i'm trying to do it naturally and healthfully. so far i'm failing. truth: i love HIIT anyway so i don't think this will be a hard transition.
eight: more yoga. i need to destress.
nine: do something special on sundays. like recap or something? i don't know. currently i feel as if the purpose of this blog is up in the air. i'm trying to nail down what i'd like it to focus on. stayed tuned for that one.
and decision ten. maybe the most important. it's a challenge. and i'm going to propose it to you, too. the challenge? try and do something every day i am intimidated by or scared of. remember those lines i've drawn around myself? they need to go away. fingers crossed my scared of/intimidated by act of courage actually happens. no points deducted from awesomeness if you don't succeed.
and that's that. ten decisions. let's see if they stick.
have a great sunday.
any decisions you've made lately?

12/03/11 leap, and the net will appear
before i dive into my latest rambling, i want to first acknowledge the horrific events occuring in japan. my positive thoughts go out to all the people affected. events like these make me feel badly for ever complaining. i know everyone has her own problems, but sometimes i feel shallow and stupid for worrying about what i worry about. my heart goes out to all the victims. i hope the healing process can begin soon…
(and on another side note, thank you all so much for your sweet, sweet comments. there were so thoughtful and heartfelt and i really appreciate them!)
i have never been a very independent person. i am shy, quick to over analyze, and grow anxious very, very fast in certain situations. i am hesitant to try new things alone and usually end up dragging a friend with me.
now, however, i see just how utterly important it is to erase the lines i've drawn around myself. two days ago, i had a breakthrough. and yesterday? i had a revelation.
breakthrough: thursday afternoon, i went climbing…alone. the only people i climb with are k and our mutual friend, joe. clearly k never lets me know when he climbs and joe never remembers (or chooses not to) inform me of his own climbing schedule so i generally get left out. i wallowed for a bit and grew anxious over the thought of rarely climbing again but then it hit me: i have myself. if people i considered friends suddenly want to leave me out of their lives, so be it. i have myself and i have legs that can take me to the wall. i have a voice to ask people for a belay. i have the ability to climb alone. so i did. and guess what? it was a blast! i almost chickened out, too. i'm so glad i didn't! i cannot tell you the confidence i felt after climbing solo yesterday. i felt empowered and so capable.
revelation: i am the only person standing in the way of experiencing life. by doling out excuse after excuse, i am essentially denying myself opportunities — for fun, for growth, for learning. by sticking to the main road instead of carving out a new trail in a new direction, i am only deepening the grooves of paths i've walked a million and a half times. where's the excitement in that? where's the adventure? i'm so sick of not trying things i want to try simply because i am scared.
confidence comes from testing yourself. confidence comes from pushing past your comfort zones and truly discovering what you are capable of.
each day i've been trying to push past my comfort zone. i've been trying to listen to my inner voice and ignore the negative voice i tend to listen to more often. two days ago i went climbing alone. yesterday, i experienced a pretty powerful revelation. today? well…
today, i quit an hour long yoga podcast twenty minutes from the end. why? because i realized i hate baptise power yoga. because i realized the thought it of produced anxiety in my chest. because i realized i only pushed myself through it purely for a work out, not for a reconnection of mind and body. because when david farmer said "be true to you" i realized i wasn't. so i stopped. i never stop a work out.ever. as a person attempting to calm my compulsive exercising habit, i think i just did myself a huge favor: i just acted out of self-love.
oh, and let me just reassure you — that was not easy. i am feeling an intense need to supplement with more activity. i'm judging. i'm uncomfortable.
yet…isn't that what the road to self-love is?
aren't we supposed to feel uncomfortable? isn't that what moving past comfort zones is? i think so, and i intend to keep on keepin' on. tomorrow? well, i have a special challenge for myself. i'm excited and nervous and feeling silly for even calling it a challenge. we all start somewhere though, right? i'll show you tomorrow.
as for the rest of the day…it's a bit sunny outside. i want to go out on a walk (originally planned pre-quitting yoga. not supplementing, promise!) to clear my mind and enjoy the patches of blue sky. it's been nice recently, too…
hope you all have a wonderful saturday!
what have you done recently that's "outside of your comfort zone"? what do you want to do if you haven't? and what's keeping you from doing it?!

Snyder v. Phelps Preview
The Snyder v. Phelps line began Monday night at 8pm. Twenty-four hours later, the Georgetown undergraduate students who started the line were joined by fifty more new friends. The Bethel family, pictured above, were not out there to make friends. Here's a video of Glynis Bethel, the family's mother, on their beliefs:
Videos of the rest of the family coming soon. More footage to be taken tomorrow morning, too!

Wow…I'm speechless.
God hates the sin because it separates us from Him and He desires a close relationship with us… He doesn't hate anyone.
Wow. Way to remain civil!
There is a group there from Eastern University. Their Christian faith is much different than that of the Bethel family. I hope you interview some of them.
[…] regarding the First Amendment rights of funeral protesters. (Anticipated, indeed: Mike Sacks of First One @ One First reports that the line for the Snyder argument began forming Monday evening.) But before offering […]
Good stuff — your local color commentary would be helpful in some mainstream news reporting on the courts.
Quick reference point for anybody interested — neither Pslams 55 nor Romas 9:13 are anywhere close to what this woman is citing.
GOD is good.

In Brooklyn, Dr. Judith Weinstock, who practices at Brooklyn Women's Health Care, is set to lose her malpractice insurance July 1st.
Non-doctors more worried over their own rising health care costs might stop to consider a startling fact: Weinstock and Friedman are just two among scores of doctors across the city who are finding it harder than ever to afford delivering care, and especially women's care, to city residents due to skyrocketing malpractice insurance rates.
In the past three decades, malpractice rates have grown exponentially. NYU Medical Dr. Mitch Essig said when he began practicing in 1981, he paid roughly $8,000 a year in malpractice rates. That number has now risen to $155,000, a common figure for private practitioners like Essig and Weinstock.
According to the American College of Obstetricians (ACOG) District II, which represents more than 4,000 women's health care providers in New York, insurance premium rates for New York-based obstetricians/gynecologists are among the highest in the country.
Despite this, they now face yet another scheduled rate hike unless Governor Paterson, who froze the increase last year, does so again by the start of next month.
At a June 17th City Hall press conference, Queens Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley and two dozen doctors urged the governor to enact immediate malpractice insurance reform.
If Paterson does not do so, said Crowley, at least 28 obstetricians affiliated with eight hospitals in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan would be forced to stop delivering babies. Countless others, in giving up malpractice insurance they can no longer afford, would stop administering additional women's health services.
Crowley said overburdened doctors would be forced to follow their colleagues out of state, where rates are lower, in a growing exodus that could very well jeopardize women's health care in the city in years to come.
"The current medical malpractice insurance system, which is regulated by our government, is driving doctors out of New York, and the first doctors to go are the ones who provide women's health care," said Crowley.
She said obstetricians are leaving the city at a faster rate than any other place nationwide; her office pointed to statistics showing that between 2002 and 2008, 160 obstetricians/gynecologists reduced their coverage to uncomplicated obstetrics; 99 dropped their obstetrician coverage; and 36 more were non-renewed.
"If we continue in this direction, who will care for pregnant women?" Crowley asked. "Who will deliver babies in New York?"
A handful of leading doctors spoke alongside Crowley for the need for malpractice reform.
They included Dr. Friedman, from Manhattan, who said while Paterson's decision last year to block malpractice insurance increases would be welcomed again this year, a more permanent solution to the problem was needed.
"Expenses are going up, up, up and reimbursements are going down," Dr. Paul Aaronson, president of the Queens County Medical Society, told this paper after the press conference. "Its impacting places like Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx."
Aaronson, an urologist, said his own malpractice insurance, though lower than for most obstetricians, has risen from $25,000 to $55,000 in the past six years alone.
He said unless more elected officials take notice, and pass legislation to reform the system, it would just continue getting worse.
"This might be the kind of thing where it has to get worse before it gets a little better," Aaronson said.
But then he voiced a note of cautious optimism, saying efforts like the one now led by Crowley were drawing attention to the issue. Aaronson said the Queens County Medical Society has successfully encouraged doctors to begin lobbying for change, if not now than for the future.
"We're trying to get doctors to be more engaged," said Aaronson. "It's a grassroots process."

Nancy Pelosi has proven to be a far more politically savvy Speaker of the House than most of her critics, and some of her fans, expected. This is not to say that she has done enough to end the war in Iraq or hold the Bush administration to account, nor that she has avoided predictable pitfalls that are discovered by new congressional leaders. But she has kept her caucus together and drawn significant Republican support as the House has addressed minimum wage, stem cell research and ethics issues that were neglected by her Republican predecessor.
Even conservative commentator Bob Novak, via the anything but Pelosi-friendly Evans-Novak political wire, commented that, "The 'hundred hours' program of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has been a success beyond all anticipation. The passage of poll-approved measures came with a unanimous Democratic vote and heavy — in some cases majority — Republican support. This performance shows the error and futility of Republican expectations that Pelosi as speaker would fall on her face…"
But Pelosi's achievement ought be measured merely by reviewing the legislation that has passed the House. It is also important to pay attention to her outreach to constituencies that Democrats tended to ignore during the Clinton and early Bush years — to the party's dramatic detriment.
On Friday, Pelosi will deliver the keynote address at the National Farmers Union's 105th annual convention. Her focus will be on opportunities for development in rural communities, with special attention to increasing the use of renewable fuels. The speaker recognizes that there is common ground on which the party's environmentally-conscious base can stand with farmers, and she is paying a lot of attention to that turf.
But the most important thing about Pelosi's appearance at the NFU convention in Orlando will not be what she says. Rather, it will be that the most prominent Democrat in Washington is going out of her way to spend time with farmers and ranchers.
For years, Democrats prattled on and on about how to appeal to this suburb or that suburb, failing to recognize that they were losing winnable House seats in the vast rural stretches beyond metropolitan America. Campaign after campaign went by, with Republicans printing up their "Farmers and Ranchers for Gingrich," "Farmers and Ranchers for Dole," "Farmers and Ranchers for Bush" signs and, by virtue of minimal attention to rural voters, gaining victories that never should have gone to the party of corporate agribusiness. The Democratic Party's failure to address basic concerns of rural America — on issues ranging from trade policy to renewable fuels to the unique concerns of remote regions regarding health care and education — cost the party dearly.
Along with the new Democratic chairs of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees, Minnesota's Colin Peterson — who will also address the NFU convention — and Iowa's Tom Harkin, Pelosi has worked hard to get farm and rural issues back on the party's agenda. Even before she was speaker, Pelosi urged the formation in 2OO3 of the Rural Working Group, an advisory panel of House members that focuses on policy matters that are of particular concern to farmers and residents of small towns and cities.
Others, particularly Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer and that state's new Democratic senator, Jon Tester, have worked hard and well to get Democrats to recognize that there are unmet economic and social needs in rural America — not to mention significant openings for smart electoral appeals by a Democratic Party that recognizes and addresses those needs. But Pelosi, a native of Baltimore who now represents San Francisco, has been impressively attentive to the concerns of corners of America that have in recent years been exploited by too many Republicans and neglected by too many Democrats.
NFU President Tom Buis says "[Pelosi] is leading the charge to develop strong rural policy in Congress."
That is high praise, indeed, for a big-city politician like Pelosi. But she has earned it by going out of her way to pay attention to rural America, by focusing on proper policies and, perhaps just as importantly, by showing up for events like the convention of the National Farmers Union.

The Excavator [1]
June 9, 2011
If the Western plutocratic elite had a Mount Olympus, Bilderberg would be it. This year they are meeting in St. Moritz, Switzerland from June 9 – June 12.
Amongst their ranks are various banking chiefs, corporate CEOs, heads of states, finance ministers, newspaper editors, aspiring political leaders, intellectuals, all of whom believe a global dictatorship is better suited to meet many of the world's current challenges and crises than democratic governments.
What sets them apart from you and I is they have mega-wealth and mega-power, and also a complete disdain for the masses of the world. They like to play god with nations and influence world events to their favor because they believe they have a monopoly in wisdom. What they care about is not saving the planet and helping people, but gaining more power to control humanity and history.
Top Bilderberg conspirators are full-blown sociopaths and parasites like Henry Kissinger and David Rockefeller who believe people deserve to be treated like slaves. If it was up to them they would get rid of billions of human beings on this planet to make managing the world a little bit easier for them. They also want to do away completely with Western democracies, the social safety net, and turn Western nations into large urban ghettos, similar to third world nations.
Good works are done in the open, and in front of public scrutiny. Evil is done in the dark. That is why Bilderberg attendees are very camera shy. Like vampires, they hate the light. Public attention means death to their treason and war against democracy and freedom. They're scared that people will find out that they are part of a treasonous global agenda to manipulate mass opinion, and implement a global totalitarian state in order to rule the world.

If they fail they will be prosecuted and hanged for crimes against democracy, crimes against humanity, and crimes against the peace. If they succeed they will gain the world and be the keepers of mankind's destiny as we enter a new era for our species.
"Power," said [4] Samuel P. Huntington, "remains strong when it remains in the dark; exposed to the sunlight it begins to evaporate." For decades the Bilderberg vampires made public policy and instituted grand designs for Europe and North America from behind the scenes. The European Union was their pet project in the 1950s. But now, thanks to a new generation of journalists and global activists, their days in the dark are coming to an end.
Many years ago, veteran reporter Jim Tucker was alone in the struggle to expose the Bilderberg conspirators and document their abuse of power. He is still on the scene today. On Monday he spoke [5] with Alex Jones about what the Bilderberg are planning to do with their power in the months and years ahead.
Ending world poverty is not on the Bilderberg's corrupt agenda. Eradicating disease is not one of their policy goals. Peace in the Middle East is not in the interest of Bilderberg traitors. They want global chaos, wars, economic depressions, mayhem, and mega destruction on the planet.
These freaks gain power and wealth by profiting off of the suffering of others. They do not care about human happiness or using their power and authority to raise people above poverty. War is good business for them. Peace means declining profits and less power. So this Western power elite does everything in its power to create and increase tensions between nations instead of bringing together heads of states to brainstorm peaceful and just solutions to wars.
Once they generate global chaos and create global crises such as new wars their political lackeys who operate on the ground level sell their "high-minded" solutions to the people. These solutions are anti-freedom in nature and benefit only them and their monopolies, such as a global dictatorial government and a global currency.
Time will tell if the Bilderberg's global empire of hell and slavery will become a historical reality. There is mounting resistance coming from below all across the world. For the first time in its history the Bilderberg conference is being reported in the mainstream press. Their epic treason against mankind is no longer going unnoticed.
Either sunlight and death awaits the Bilderberg vampires, or this evil clan of war profiteers, criminal banksters, power mongers and charlatans will achieve total power and total control over humanity.

I believe that the commercial mortgage/real-estate market still has a ways to go on the downside, and is much earlier in its trajectory than the residential market (as I'm sure you'll agree judging by some of your posts on the subject). Lehman's residential and commercial mortgage exposures are roughly equivalent ($37.3 vs $38.9 billion as of 11/30/07).
I also believe that even on a gross basis, Lehman has not taken large enough write-down in comparison to other companies. I believe they have accomplished this by moving mortgage assets to Level 3. I've loved reading your blog and truly appreciate the unique and in-depth analysis performed on target companies thus far."

Padres take down Dodgers in 11 innings
Los Angeles, CA – Logan Forsythe hit a go-ahead two-run single as part of a three-run 11th inning as the San Diego Padres downed the Los Angeles Dodgers, 6-3, in the middle test of a three-game set.
"I got a pitch in the zone and tried to go back up the box," Forsythe said of the go-ahead hit. "Anything that helps us win is exciting."
Cameron Maybin started the frame with a single off of John Ely (0-1). Everth Cabrera then reached on a bunt single to third and both runners advanced a base on Luis Cruz's throwing error to first.
Pinch-hitter Alexi Amarista then grounded out sharply to second, which kept the runners put before Will Venable was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out.
Forsythe came to the plate and lined a single to center, which brought home Maybin and Cabrera, and Headley followed with base hit to plate Forsythe for a 6-3 Padres edge.
Luke Gregerson tossed a scoreless 11th to notch his fourth save of the year, while Tommy Layne (0-1) struck out the side in the 10th to pick up the win.
Chris Denorfia smacked his third leadoff homer of the year and Yasmani Grandal tied the game in the eighth with a two-run shot for San Diego, which snapped a three-game skid.
Clayton Kershaw fanned nine and surrendered a run on five hits and three walks over seven innings for the Dodgers, who had a three-game winning streak halted. His strikeout of Jesus Guzman in the seventh was his 200th of the season, the third straight year he's accomplished the feat.
Denorfia led off the game and hammered the first pitch he saw deep into the seats in left field, but the Dodgers got the run back in the second when Andre Ethier launched a two-out solo shot into right-center field for his 1,000th career hit, which knotted the contest at 1-1.
Mark Ellis had an RBI double and Shane Victorino added a run-scoring single in the seventh, but Grandal knotted the game in the eighth when he stroked a one- out two-run shot just over the wall in right-center field, which made it 3-3.
"We're having our troubles putting up runs," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "We had a two-run lead and we weren't ready to hold it."
Game Notes
Padres starter Eric Stults allowed a run on seven hits and one walk over six innings ... San Diego was 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left 11 men on base, while Los Angeles finished 3-for-12 with RISP and stranded nine.

New data indicates Chick-fil-A's image with consumers has dropped dramatically since the company's president proudly embraced the organization's anti-LGBT donations. The new numbers come as former Governor Mike Huckabee and the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) attempt to make today a national "Eat at Chick-fil-A" day.
According to YouGov's BrandIndex, Chick-fil-A's brand perception among consumers has dropped by more than 20 points since Dan Cathy replied "guilty as charged" when asked about Chick-fil-A's donations to groups that work to demonize and harm LGBT people. The drop is noticeable across the country - even in the South, a stronghold for the fast food chain.
"Americans by and large are not comfortable with Chick-fil-A's anti-LGBT donations, and the company's proud embrace of these discriminatory practices is taking a deserved toll on its image," said HRC Vice President of Communications Fred Sainz. "Chick-fil-A supports organizations that demonize LGBT people on a regular basis - and in addition to being morally wrong, it's also bad for business. In an era when corporations are supporting equality at unprecedented levels, Chick-fil-A is on the decidedly wrong side of history."
BrandIndex regularly surveys consumers on six factors central to a company's brand - quality, impression, value, reputation, satisfaction and willingness to recommend. Prior to Dan Cathy's anti-LGBT remarks on July 16, Chick-fil-A's brand perception stood at 65 - nearly 20 points above the national average for fast food restaurants. Less than two weeks later, by July 25, that number stood at 39. In the South, Chick-fil-A experienced an image perception drop from 80 to 44; in the Northeast those numbers went from 76 to 35.
Chick-fil-A's anti-LGBT history most recently resurfaced several weeks ago, when company president Dan Cathy replied "guilty as charged" when asked about his organization's donations to groups that actively lie about LGBT people. He later said that those who support marriage equality are "inviting God's judgment on our nation." Some of the anti-LGBT organizations benefiting from Chick-fil-A's money include Focus on the Family, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Family Research Council - identified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.

My Hedley connection
My 5x great grandmother Isabel Hedley was born in 1744 in Northumberland. I have no concrete evidence about where, but am guessing it was in or near Elsdon as she married William Thompson there in 1766. Looking at other trees including Isabel gives no clues. It seems that other researchers are also struggling to find place of birth and parents for her.

I'm not a fan of photographs from windows- any windows- as a rule, but when you're in the field you spend so much time in four-by-fours (see Field Visit Bingo) that sometimes, you have no choice.
Shots from car windows tend to be bland and blurry. It's a rule of thumb in landscape photography that you don't take a landscape from where you are, but you move into the landscape to take the photo. Very rarely do the elements line up to give you the right composition- and when they do, they're usually shooting by so fast that if you're late by a tenth of a second you miss the moment, and if the shutter speed isn't high enough, they blur right out. It's rare to get a sharp image- although by shooting more forwards and less sideways, you reduce the movement of the landscape relative to yourself.
For me, the above image, snapped from a speeding Land Cruiser several hours out of Nairobi, isn't perfect- but it somehow works for all its imperfections. There's no hiding what it is- a photo taken hanging out of a car window: the location of the cyclists and the little corner of road make that clear. The foreground is blurred, and the cyclists moreso. The rear tyre of the second cyclist has been clipped by the edge of the frame, and there's even a little lens-flare catching against the low sun.
But I love the elements. It was a gorgeous sunset, and the sky and terrain were both full of drama. The cyclists- one in a football shirt- are typical of the area and tell their own story about place. And I actually think their blur adds something to the image, a sense of moving towards a brighter horizon. For all its quirks, I was pleased with how this shot turned out.

SILVERSTONE, England - Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg won an explosive British Grand Prix on Sunday, after four drivers including early race leader Lewis Hamilton were hit by dramatic tire blowouts and three-time champion Sebastian Vettel retired while leading with 10 laps remaining due to mechanical problems.
With Vettel's Red Bull teammate Mark Webber closing fast, Rosberg managed to win his second race of the year and third of his career by 0.7 seconds in a nail-biting finish - though he then had to survive a stewards inquiry.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, who started ninth, made a late charge up the grid and got past Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen with two laps remaining to claim third. Hamilton also recovered to finish fourth, after his blown tire sent him to the back of the grid in the eighth lap.
Soon after celebrating, Rosberg risked seeing his victory slip away when he was referred to the stewards for not slowing down for yellow flags in turns 3 and 5. The stewards ruled that Rosberg "did not make a significant reduction in speed" but would only receive a reprimand, or warning. After three reprimands during a season, drivers are given a 10-place grid penalty. This was Rosberg's first.
"Fantastic, it's very special," said Rosberg, who also won in Monaco and in China last year. "Our team has done such a fantastic job. We have such momentum at the moment, progressing all the time."
Hamilton seemed poised to win his first British Grand Prix since 2008 after getting a great start and extending his lead over three-time world champion Vettel.
But on the eighth lap, the 2008 champion's left rear tire exploded and he was forced to limp into the pits. Two laps later, Ferrari's Felipe Massa lost his left rear tire and spun out. Then, Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne also lost his rear tire on the 15th, with the rubber exploding across the track.
That brought out the safety car until lap 22 and sparked renewed concerns about the reliability of Pirelli tires which has been a running theme all season. It also prompted drivers to later warn of the dangers of exploding tires - which affected McLaren driver Sergio Perez on both Saturday and Sunday.
Alonso admitted he was "scared" after being sprayed with debris from Perez's tire and Rosberg called for action to prevent a similar situation in Germany next weekend.
"Well, we shouldn't get into that situation," Rosberg said. "We need to do what needs to be done to sort it out and make the tires last."
The FIA has ordered tire supplier Pirelli to attend a meeting on the issue on Wednesday in Germany.
Pirelli said it was investigating the matter, but ruled out a new bonding process for the tires that was introduced ahead of the British Grand Prix being to blame. The company said "there may be some aspect of the circuit" that contributed to the problem.
"There have obviously been some issues with rear-left tire failures which we have not seen before," Pirelli's Motorsport Director Paul Hembery said. "We are taking the situation very seriously and we are currently investigating all tires to determine the cause as soon as possible, ahead of the next Grand Prix in Germany."
Hamilton was still clearly angry after the race.
"The safety is the biggest issue, it's unacceptable," Hamilton told the BBC. "Four blowouts is unacceptable. It's only when someone gets hurt that someone will be doing something about it. I think it's a waste of time talking to the FIA, and if they don't do anything that says a lot about them."
TV pictures of Turn 4 on the Silverstone circuit, where some of the incidents took place, indicated the sidewall of the tires could have been punctured by a sharp part of the kerb.
After the restart, Vettel extended his lead over Rosberg and appeared set for a fourth win which would have extended his lead in the drivers' championship. But on the 42nd lap, Vettel's car came to a stop after his fifth gear broke and Rosberg took the lead. That brought out the safety car for a second time for three laps.
When it went off with seven laps to go, it triggered a frenzied dash to the finish.
Alonso was among the most aggressive, passing McLaren's Jenson Button, Force India's Adrian Sutil and eventually Raikkonen for third. Webber also charged past Raikkonen into second with four laps remaining. Raikkonen later said his tires were too worn for him to fend off the challenges of Webber and Alonso.
Webber — who announced Thursday he was retiring from the sport at the end of the year — just missed out on his third win at Silverstone in four years and a fairytale ending to the weekend.
"I made the most of those safety cars — and today the strategy was one of the best we've done," said Webber, who dropped down to 15th at the start after getting off the grid slowly and then being nudged off the track by Lotus driver Romain Grosjean.
"I think it worked very, very well. I worked hard to manipulate the pace when I had to and then it was Nico and I left at the end," he said. "It would have been nice to have had a few more laps, but that's how it was today. It was nearly a really special day, but it was still a nice day."
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said he was happy to come away with some points, considering the kind of race his team had.
"Obviously to get within 12 laps of winning the race and have a retirement due to a transmission issue is pretty painful, particularly at this venue, but Sebastian had done everything right today and it was a great shame," he said. "For Mark, after a difficult start and being hit at the first corner, he made a great recovery ... and came pretty close to claiming the victory, but nonetheless second place was a great performance from him on a big weekend for the team."
Hamilton also benefited from the safety car going out twice, rising from last on the grid to ninth by lap 45 and then got past Sutil for fourth with a lap remaining.
"There are massive positives to take out the team this weekend," Hamilton said. "Nico won and we got some good points and we are second in the constructors' championship. I'm grateful the car was strong I was able to come through the field and the right things happened. It was bad luck when the tire goes and you are in the lead. I was grateful that I had achieved things that helped me along the way."
The wild finish leaves the championship wide open.
Despite his late exit, Vettel remains the leader in the drivers' championship with 132 points. His lead, though, is down to 21 points over Alonso on 111 with 11 races remaining.
Raikkonen is third with 98 and Hamilton fourth with 89, some 43 points behind Vettel.
The next race is the German Grand Prix on July 7.

You know how Mac OS X Lion kind of makes your full-bodied Macintosh look a little more like an iPad? Well, turns out that's exactly the point: "We're going to demote the PC and the Mac to just be a device," Steve Jobs said, onstage at WWDC today. "We're going to move the digital hub, the center of your digital life, into the cloud."
Apple's iCloud service will give you 5GB of data to play with to start, and will pull in most of your photos, documents and music, as well as other information such as phone and email contacts and whatever you put into iCalendar. Then, you should be able to access that data on any OS X or iOS device, meaning a change to your schedule on your MacBook would push to your iPhone instantly, and photos or songs you take or buy on your iPhone will pop up on your laptop.
All that sounds neat, but the big question is how it works with iTunes. iCloud will act as a virtual music locker for all of the purchases you've made on iTunes, meaning that you can access those songs, videos and what-have-you on any Apple device that supports it.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
For songs you didn't get on iTunes? (As in ripped from CDs, songs given to you by a friend or downloaded elsewhere.) Apple will give you the option of rebuying that content through iTunes, or paying the company $25 a year to have iTunes auto-match what content it can and give you access to. That auto-match option sounds particularly intriguing, and we have to wonder if Apple is paying through the nose for that in private.
You'll be able to try out iCloud for yourself this fall when it releases alongside iOS 5. And why not? It's free!
(Further reading: The Huffington Post as a pretty good breakdown of iCloud versus other services out there right here.)

Seeking Military Schools or Boot Camps for Troubled Boys in Gulfport, Mississippi?
While you search for military schools or boot camps in Gulfport, Mississippi, perhaps you will consider a residential program for boys that offers better results, absent the drill sergeant and trauma of a boot camp or military school. In fact, he will really like it here while he gets back on track in life.
Treasure Coast Boys Academy, on the Gold Coast of Florida, is a residential program and school specifically designed for at-risk boys. It is part of Teen Challenge, a highly-endorsed ministry that has been helping teenagers for 60 years. Instead of the harsh environment of military schools and boot camps, Treasure Coast Boys Academy shows boys the right way to live through example, lessons, counsel, mentoring and team exercises. Also, eliminating distractions and detaching from troublesome situations is what helps to make possible break destructive patterns of behavior. Unlike military schools and boot camps you may find near Gulfport, MS, we believe that relationships are what make a long-term difference in a boy, not more anger, yelling and force.
Families register their sons at Treasure Coast Boys Academy from around the country, including from Gulfport, Mississippi, both to let them grow in a new environment and because of the loving and fun environment they find here. Enrollment is year-round.

Over the program, we focus on character, integrity, hard work, and respect. We create a culture of positive peer pressure. We give boys ownership in work projects and chapel services on campus to keep them engaged in what is their home away from home. We desire to see residents mature in their faith in Christ, and we offer worship, chapel services, bible studies, discipleship, retreats and mission trip opportunities to support that growth.

Whitewater rafting, hiking, camping, and other adventures show that life can be both adventuresome and constructive.
While we hold individual, group, and family counseling in traditional settings, we know that most life-changing encounters tend to happen during outdoor activities and during ordinary situations. Counseling is offered frequently during the day, in all settings, through conversations and mentoring during activities and group settings. We put great importance on mentorship, providing the boys with positive male role models during their time with us.

TSU Leads Early Before Falling at #5 Arizona State
TEMPE, Ariz. – The Tigers opened their six-game stretch in the Valley of the Sun by dropping a hard fought game to No. 5 Arizona State in Tempe on Thursday evening. Tennessee State (1-4) took an early lead on the Sun Devils, but ended up falling 10-3. It was just the third game this season ASU (7-0) would have to play a seven inning ballgame.
TSU put together a three-run inning in the top of the second after surrendering a run in the first. Carmen Hill earned a one-out walk and moved up one base each on back-to-back singles by lefties, Courtney Gearlds and Kiarra Freeman. Liz Stansberry drew a walk off ASU starter Alexis Cooper to force home Hill to tie at the 1-1.
Two batters later, Jayna Hanawahine delivered a single over the outstretched glove of shortstop Cheyenne Coyle to plate Gearlds and Freeman for an early 3-1 lead. The three runs by the Tigers matched the amount of runs ASU allowed in their first six games of the season.
Senior Mackenzie Popescue entered the game to retire Kate Morris and proceeded to retire the next twelve batters. Gearlds ended the Sun Devils' hurlers' streak with a double down the right field line to lead off the seventh inning, but was stranded as the game ended. Popescue (4-0) earned the win in relief.
ASU answered right away after the Tigers second, with four runs in the bottom half of the inning to regain the lead 5-3. The Sun Devils would score two in the fourth and fifth innings and added another in the sixth to produce the final margin.
Olivia Gamache (0-2) was tagged with the loss, as she was unable to retire a batter in the second inning. The senior pitcher was touched for five runs off five hits and a two walks. Shea Morris entered in relief in the second inning and tossed the final five innings. Morris allowed six hits and four walks as ASU scored five runs, four earned, while striking out five.
The Tigers travel to Tucson to begin the three-day Hillenbrand Invitational. Due to poor travel conditions in the Atlanta area, Georgia Tech was unable to make the trip to Arizona, causing changes to the tournament schedule. TSU will play their first game Friday morning at 11:00am (MT) versus Grand Canyon and will close out the day against #4 Alabama at 6:00pm (MT).

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 s a digital darkroom that will organise your photos, polish them to perfection with some exceptional editing tools, then help you share your favourites with the world.
As with previous editions, the program starts by importing your images into a catalog. And you can then browse your collection's thumbnails, tag particular images, search them for text, attributes, metadata and more. Lightroom can enhance images by tweaking their exposure, contrast, colours and so on; there are modules to print or build slideshows from your favourite images, and you can even build web galleries to share them online.
Version 4 expands on this solid base with more targeted editing tools. So white balance can now be adjusted with a brush, for instance; the program can now also remove moiré and apply noise reduction to very specific areas of your image; and highlight and shadow recovery can help to bring out detail which has been lost in the darkest and brightest parts of a photo.
Lightroom 4 is now also fully location-aware, able to display data from GPS-enabled cameras, assign locations to images, and find and group images by location via a Map view.
Adobe's partnership with Blurb means you'll be able to create top-quality photobooks from within Lightroom, have them professionally printed, bound and shipped to you for prices starting from around $12.50. (Or if the photos are really good then you can even promote and sell them online in Blurb's bookstore.)
And enhanced video support means you can not only view, organise and carry out basic edits on video clips, but when you're happy then you can publish and share the footage on Facebook and Flickr.
Already one of the most powerful photo workflow tools around, Lightroom 4 extends the program's abilities in several important ways, as well as introducing lots of useful tiny tweaks which we just don't have space to mention here. Take a look, we think you'll be impressed.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. --
"I enjoy the history of the old families. The organizational skills they had and the respect they showed each other, without letting personal feelings get in the way, is really inspiring as a business man," said Knowles from the offices of Knowles Enterprises in Grand Junction, Colorado. "Don't get me wrong. They did plenty of bad things but, the way they ran their businesses was fascinating," added Knowles.
Knowles has turned is fascination with the Old School Mob into a 240 M.P.H rolling piece of art. With the help of Tim McAmis Race Cars and Justin Spencer of Tyrant Productions, Knowles has come up with one of the most unique and most detailed race cars of all time.
The 1967 Mustang features a Velocity Composites Light weight body that is dressed to the nines with an extensive and elaborate paint scheme applied by Jeff Hoskins of Lake Road Rod and Customs along with world renowned artist, Chuck Buckler of Banshie Studios located outside of Washington, DC. The design features Old Vegas on one side and the Prohibition era on the other. The deck lid features the "Mob's Greatest Hits". There are custom touches both inside and outside of the car featuring famous Mob quotes as well as fire bottles painted like dynamite. The car also carries the now infamous "Blown Money" logo.
The machinists and fabricators at TMRC have labored intensely over this project creating many one off features for this ride. A few examples are a knife handle for the fire bottle lever; the hand brake has Tommy Gun Grips, and a steering column that resembles a machine gun barrel. There are many more in house touches from the team at TMRC that just have to be seen to be believed. Sadly, fans will have to wait till the NHRA Pro Modified season opener next March at the NHRA Gator Nationals to get an up close and personal look at the "Blown Money" team's, TMRC built "MOB EDITION" Mustang.

They were on a hiking tour organized by Eglin�s environmental resource department Wednesday in honor of Earth Day, which was Monday. The department, which oversees Eglin�s 464,000 acres of reservation land, has hosted several events this week aimed at increasing awareness about what it takes to manage a range of that size.
EGLIN AFB � Evelyn Cunningham and her daughter-in-law Susan Wagner meandered down a sandy path running along Choctawhatchee Bay under the shade of towering 100-year-old long leaf pines.
They were on a hiking tour organized by Eglin�s Environmental Resource Department Wednesday in honor of Earth Day, which was Monday. The department, which oversees Eglin�s 464,000 acres of reservation land, has hosted several events this week aimed at increasing awareness about what it takes to manage a range of that size.
Along the trail at White Point Recreation Center, the dozens of people who stopped periodically to lean in, listen and learn from staffers able to talk at length about topics ranging from endangered and invasive species to wildfires, sea turtles and snakes.
�This was something I thought we could enjoy together,� Wagner said.
View a photo gallery of the tour. >>
Cunningham, 74, said her daughter-in-law knew it was a perfect way to get her out of the house.
�I love to be outdoors,� she said. �And I know a lot about this area, but they talked about some things I�ve never even heard of.�
That included one stop where an expert spoke about the cattle dip vats scattered across Florida. They were used in the early 1900s to treat cattle for ticks and then later other maladies, and they often are contaminated with arsenic and myriad toxic chemicals.
Eglin has cleaned up 17 cattle dip vats and has restored one as a historical landmark.
At another stop, Carrie Gindel stood before a motley congregation of stuffed animals � a snarling bobcat, a howling wolf, a hungry gopher, an armadillo and an Eastern diamondback rattlesnake � all of which can be found on the reservation.
A more lively red rat snake, also known as a corn snake, slithered through her hands.
She said most people had been asking her about the snakes: which ones are poisonous and what to do if they encounter one in the wild.
She spoke about how the non-venomous Eastern Indigo snake is threatened with extinction. It lives in gopher burrows on the reservation, which are home to more than 80 animal species.
The longleaf pine ecosystem that covers much of the reservation also is threatened. Where there were once 90 million acres of the slow-growth trees across the country, now only about 3 million acres exist.
Forester Dale Gartman stood along the trail holding a year-old longleafseedling, about 1 foot long from root to its green grassy top.
About a hundred feet away he pointed at a longleaf pine reaching hundreds of feet into the sky, which he estimated was about 125 years old. Some trees on the reservation are about 400, he said.
Each year, Jackson Guard foresters hand-plant about 800,000 of the seedlings to maintain their forest and to keep it � and the endangered species it houses � from extinction.
Down the trail, Jackson Guard firefighter Brett Williams stood next to an all-terrain vehicle equipped with a flame thrower used during prescribed, or controlled, burns. The burns help preserve the forest from invasive species and prevent wildfires by clearing out dead brush.
They try to burn 90,000 acres a year on average, which means each part of the forest gets a healthy burn about every four years.
Firefighters also put out about 100 wildfires each year, Williams said. About 90 percent of those are caused during military training and testing missions.
The final stop backed up to a residential neighborhood.
Dennis Teague pointed to a bright green Chinese Tallow, or popcorn tree, in one of the home�s backyards.
Then he turned around and pointed into the forest where dozens of juvenile popcorn trees had sprouted and were quickly taking over.
�This is where we draw the battle lines,� Teague said.
Foresters spend a lot of time patrolling the perimeter between urban property and the reservation to try to eradicate invasive and exotic species like the popcorn tree. They pull them by hand if possible, but sometimes must resort to herbicide to kill them off.
This was the second year Eglin hosted the eco-tours as part of its Earth Day celebration.
Mike Spaits, a spokesman for Eglin�s environmental resource department, said the base ranks highest in the Department of Defense in the conservation arena.
�We wanted to try to show the community and the base population just how good of stewards we are,� he said.

An animal study at Purdue University has shown that adding ascorbic acid and sugar to green tea can help the body absorb helpful compounds.
Mario Ferruzzi, associate professor of food science and nutrition, adapted a digestion model with human intestinal cells to show that adding ascorbic acid to green tea would increase the absorbability of catechins found in the tea. Catechins, a class of polyphenols common in tea, cocoa and grape, are antioxidants thought to fight heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and other health problems.
Ferruzzi, Elsa Janle, a Purdue associate research professor of foods and nutrition, and Catrina Peters, a Purdue graduate student in nutrition, were able to demonstrate that adding ascorbic acid, sucrose or both together increases by as much as three times the amount of catechins that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. The results of the in vivo study compared well with those predicted by the in vitro model.
"This model may be used as a pre-emptive screening tool at very little cost before you do expensive tests on animals or humans," said Ferruzzi, whose findings were published in the early online edition of the journal Food Research International. "If you want to get human screening off the ground, it takes months. If you want to use this model, it takes hours."
The model charts how the digestive stability, solubility and absorption of polyphenols changes based on modifications to a beverage's formula. It will not be exact in terms of measurements, but when compared to the in vivo test in rats, the model's predictions matched directionally to the in vivo study and were relatively close proportionately.
Ferruzzi said testing with the model could allow researchers to predict how a new product formula might change the product's properties, reducing the number of animals needed for testing to only products that showed desired characteristics in the model. The model also can be adapted to simulate the digestive characteristics of other animals or humans as originally intended.
"As long as we know the typical gastrointestinal conditions of an animal and the volumes, we can adapt the model to mimic those conditions," Ferruzzi said. "You don't have to do expensive precursor studies."
The in vivo study backed up the model study that showed adding sugar and vitamin C to green tea enhanced the body's ability to absorb polyphenols. Ferruzzi said that adding lemon juice or other citrus juice to tea would do the trick, or consumers could look for ready-to-drink products that contain 100 percent of the recommended amount of vitamin C or ascorbic acid on the ingredient list.
"Having that vitamin C seems to do it," Ferruzzi said. "And if you don't want to squeeze a lemon into your cup, just have a glass of juice with your green tea."
Connie Weaver, head of the National Institutes of Health Purdue University-University of Alabama at Birmingham Botanical Research Center for Age-Related Diseases, which funded the research, said the study's focus was an important part of understanding how to get the most out of compounds considered beneficial.
"There is a lot of interest in bioactive materials to protect people from disease and promote better health," Weaver said. "What's been totally ignored is the way these materials are found in foods in combination with other ingredients. How they're involved in the food matrix can affect how you absorb these health promoters."

Pity President Obama, it's not his fault; after over three years in office, he is still helpless as a newborn when it comes to changing the economy for the better. Sympathetic New York Times White House reporter Jackie Calmes teamed with Nicholas Kulish for Sunday's "Weak Economy Points To Obama's Constraints."
The bleak jobs report on Friday predictably had heads snapping toward the White House, looking to President Obama to do something. Yet his proposed remedies only underscore how much the president, just five months before he faces voters, is at the mercy of actors in Europe, China and Congress whose political interests often conflict with his own.
It has been a common refrain at the Times to point to Europe to suggest Obama is at the mercy of forces beyond his control. Appearing on the PBS show Washington Week in February, Calmes predictably nodded along to the president's excuse that "the public thinks that he was dealt a bad hand." It's certainly not an excuse the Times handed to President Bush.
More from Calmes on Sunday:
That day, Mr. Obama continued his weekly travels around the country, prodding Congressional Republicans to pass his "to-do list" of temporary tax cuts and spending initiatives to help create jobs. The Republicans only mock him, which leaves Mr. Obama free to blame his opponents and their presidential standard-bearer, Mitt Romney. But in doing so, he telegraphs a message of powerlessness that no leader likes to convey -- least of all one who ran for office four years ago vowing to bridge Washington's partisan gulf.
Developments overseas have not helped either. American officials have complained as Beijing began letting its currency devalue again, making its exports cheaper and those from the United States to China more costly. And administration officials, and Mr. Obama himself, have lobbied leaders in Europe for more forceful action to promote growth or at least contain the threat of financial contagion there.
Without mentioning Republicans, Mr. Obama said Congress had not passed measures he had proposed to get jobless construction workers rebuilding roads, bridges and runways; to give small businesses a tax break for new hires; and to help states pay teachers, firefighters and police officers. The steady elimination of public sector jobs has offset increased hiring in the private sector for more than two years.
By emboldening Republicans, the report on Friday that the economy added only 69,000 jobs in May seemed to dash the hopes of some in the White House for a replay of 1996. That summer, as President Bill Clinton sought re-election with the economy improving, Republicans in Congress decided that their party's weak presidential nominee, Senator Bob Dole, was doomed. To Mr. Dole's chagrin, they compromised with the Democratic president to notch some significant achievements and ensure their own survival.
Gene Sperling, the chief White House economic adviser, said, "There is no question that had Congress acted on the president's proposals nine months ago to prevent teacher layoffs, put construction workers back to work and cut small-business taxes, our job situation today would be notably stronger and unemployment would be lower." Analyses by macroeconomic firms and nonpartisan financial analysts agreed.
While Mr. Obama seeks to make Republicans the villains when it comes to the economy, he is also, more diplomatically, blaming Europe. In Minneapolis and Chicago on Friday, he cited the impact of the continent's travails on the American economy.
Keynesian cultist and Times columnist Paul Krugman joined the chorus of lament on ABC's This Week show Sunday, as Noel Sheppard recounted on NewsBusters: "...it's terribly unfair that he's being judged on the failure of the economy to respond to policies that had been largely dictated by a hostile Congress."
Sheppard pointed out "Obama controlled the House of Representatives and enjoyed a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate."

MWC 15 Special
One of the biggest surprises this week, at least for me, was Microsoft's announcement that Huawei will join Microsoft for Windows Phone 8 (but not ZTE which so far manufactured Windows Phone 7 devices) and Huawei just issued a press release where it details its upcoming Windows Phone 8 plans a little bit more. It's mentioned, that Huawei's first Windows Phone 8 devices "will expands the portfolio of the popular Ascend family", a brand which was so far only used for Android smartphones. Shao Yang, Chief Marketing Officer at Huawei Devices also said that "the year 2012 is becoming a very successful year for Huawei and we (Huawei) will finish it brilliantly - with the launch of our first Windows Phones".
While it's too early for further device details, Huawei also unveiled that its first Windows Phone 8 is planned to be initially launched in Europe, China and the United States, followed by other markets after. Furthermore, Huawei plans numerous activities, in collaboration with the key mobile operators, and aims a global marketing.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 246 diseños de 60 diseñadores freelance.
Harrison Construction & Remodeling
I have been building new residential homes for about 10 years. I have decided to start my own company building new homes and offering remodeling services which will encompass just about anything that you can think of pertaining to a residential home. I am an extremely detail oriented person who wants everything pertaining to the job at hand to project quality and excellence. I will not except anything mediocre from my subcontractors, so every job is approached with the perspective of weather or not I would accept the work if it were to be done on my own home, and the job is not complete until I have approved it and my clients are happy.
Starting out, my target audience will be existing homeowners who want to improve the homes that they own at the moment. Weather this is achieved through something as small as re-painting a home or a complete remodel of the home. I will be marketing, for the most part, through realtors in the beginning. Once I get established in the market place, my focus will be towards building new custom residential homes. I feel that my target audience will be focused toward house wives who are bored with the present state/design of the home they are living in.
Right now I am leaning toward wanting a design that will clearly identify my company as a home builder/remodeler, like I stated before, I want a design that will be able to stand on it's own without the actual name in print. I do want the name included off to the side or below, but the design needs to be the focus. Somewhere in the heart of the design I want a capital H. I want to be branded around the H, which obviously represents Harrison. I do not want a design that is "cute", it needs to be very professional and have a strong sense of class. I will try to give feedback as quickly as possible keep the creativity coming. I do want the design done in vector graphics.

The Bonneville Salt Flats are gearhead heaven. Whatever you're driving, you can push it to the limits on the seemingly endless expanse of dry lakebed. Surrounded by distant mountains, driving out there feels like being in an arena.
Located an hour and a half west of Salt Lake City, Utah and a full day's drive from California, events at the Salt Flats attract speed freaks from around the country and around the world a few times per year. The most famous is Speed Week, a mid-August hoonfest where competitors attempt to slay standing land speed records.
Driving on salt is different from driving on pavement. I tried it once, and I highly recommend it. My one word of advice is this: Bring lots of quarters. It takes forever to wash all of the salt gum off of your car after a run on the Flats.

Double direction angular contact thrust ball bearings
BEAS series
Bearings in the BEAS series correspond in design to two single direction bearings arranged back-to-back. They are non-separable and have a one-piece outer ring, a two-piece inner ring, and a 60° contact angle. The bearings accommodate radial loads, and axial loads in both directions. Preload (which is preset at the factory) is applied by clamping the inner ring halves on the screw drive shaft with, for example, a precision lock nut.
BEAS bearings have an annular groove and lubrication holes in the outer ring as standard to relubricate the bearing easily and reliably when necessary.
BEAM series
Bearings in the BEAM series correspond in design to BEAS series bearings except that the outer ring is much thicker and equipped with through holes for attachment bolts. By bolting directly onto an associated component, the design and mounting process is simplified. To enable relubrication, if required, one side face and the bearing outside surface have M6 threaded holes for grease fittings. The holes are plugged on delivery with grub (set) screws. The side face with the threaded hole should be mounted opposite the machine wall.
BEAM bearings have an annular groove on their outside surface that can be used to dismount the bearing from its seat on the screw drive shaft.
