It was a winning moment for Philly when Bradley Cooper and his date, mom Gloria Cooper, made their way to E!'s Ryan Seacrest on the Academy Awards red carpet Sunday night, and gave an enthusiastic "Hi, Philadelphia!" before a live national audience.
The city roared in response.
And now that we've chewed and digested full head-to-toe Oscar looks, imagine our surprise when we realized we had completely overlooked Mama Cooper's choice of footwear! The local woman we have to thank for rearing and raising the star of "Silver Linings Playbook" opted for comfort at the Dolby Theatre by pairing metallic sneakers beneath her dress. We assume the shoes - largely disregarded by the un-trained eye - were safely tucked beneath her black gown for most of the evening. However the always faithful paparazzi managed to snap a few images of the Coopers, in full, on the red carpet.
Do you think the sneakers were a nice personal touch from Mrs. Cooper?

Robbinsdale food co-op effort gaining interest
- July 13, 2013 - 5:20 PM
A grass-roots effort to open a food co-op in Robbinsdale is underway after the city's only grocery store closed in April.
More than 150 people met at a Robbinsdale church in late June to discuss the potential for one in the wake of Rainbow Foods' departure.
Attending the meeting were Robbinsdale Mayor Regan Murphy, City Council Member Pat Backen and Katya Pilling from the Landon Group, a St. Paul consulting firm hired by Robbinsdale.
About 20 people signed up to be on a citizen-run steering committee dedicated to the cause, which will be formalized at an Aug. 12 meeting.
And nearly 60 people attended a follow-up meeting on July 1, where groups signed up to staff booths at four summer festivals in the area to build support in surrounding communities.

Alonzo Mourning seeks more than HOF
MIAMI — Alonzo Mourning would love to make the Basketball Hall of Fame. But he really wants to be remembered as a Hall of Famer in the game of life.
The former Miami Heat star center was thrilled to see former teammate Tim Hardaway named last month as a Hall of Fame finalist, with the class of 2013 to be announced in April. Next year, Mourning becomes eligible for the first time for enshrinement in Springfield, Mass.
"That's the ultimate dream for every player who has played this game to be in the Hall of Fame,'' Mourning said Friday in an interview with FOX Sports Florida. "It's an honor to be able to do that, so if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, I'm fine. I'm going to continue to do what I do. That's the most important thing for me right now.
"Basketball is temporary. When it's all said and done, we're not going to be judged by what we've done on the basketball court or playing field, how nice our car is, how much money we have, how big our house is. We're going to be judged by what we do for other people. That's just what I believe and that's how I live. If it doesn't happen, that I don't make to the Hall of Fame, trust me, I'm going to do the work that I do. It won't change my perspective on life.''
Mourning, who is is well regarded for his charity work, spoke Friday at Miami's J.W. Marriott Marquis, where he held a basketball clinic on behalf of Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Signature Card from Chase. Cardholders who paid $750 got two nights at the hotel, admission to the Heat's 98-91 Friday night win over Memphis, the clinic with Mourning and some other perks.
Mourning would be a no-brainer for the Hall had he not been diagnosed in the fall of 2000 with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a disease of the kidneys that resulted in him having a kidney transplant in 2003. After being named to six All-Star Games in his first eight seasons and being one of the NBA's most dominant centers, kidney trouble and other ailments enabled Mourning to play in only 341 of a possible 656 games from 2000-01 through his last season with the Heat in 2007-08.
Mourning spent his final years mostly coming off the bench. However, he was able to help the Heat to their first NBA title in 2006 as Shaquille O'Neal's backup.
"I went eight years straight before I had to deal with a kidney issue,'' said Mourning, 43, who is now vice president of player programs for the Heat in addition to running his Mourning Family Foundation, which assists South Florida youth. "Obviously, when that hit, it kind of slowed the process down. But fortunate enough, I was able to get back on the court and win a world championship and contribute to that. (The Hall of Fame) can decide what they want to do. I feel like I've done a lot for the game of basketball. I could have done more, but unfortunately my body wouldn't allow me to do it.
"I played eight years straight where I was at 20 (points), 10 (rebounds) and three to four blocks a game, so those numbers speak for itself …. Those things pretty much came to a stop because I had to deal with my physical obstacles… (Had kidney problems not happened), I probably would have gone on to score 20,000 points like all the other guys have that have had careers without any interruption. But, every now and then, life raises its ugly head. You just deal with it and move on.''
Mourning, who scored 14,311 career points while averaging 17.1 points and 8.5 rebounds, said he's feeling great now. He said he's thrilled to be able to make a difference through his organization, which he recently renamed from Alonzo Mourning Charities to also acknowledge his wife and three children, Alonzo III, Myka Sydney and Alijah Harden.
"You come into the world needing assistance,'' said Mourning, whose foundation works with the educational development of 400 youths from second through 12th grade. "And, while you're here, you're not here by yourself, you're here with your connection to other people… There's a sense of responsibility there… That's what I live by.''
When Mourning isn't dealing with his foundation, he's working with the Heat on community issues. He's a regular fixture at games.
Mourning was on the 1996-97 Heat team that went a franchise-best 61-21, won his ring in 2005-06 and watched closely as Miami claimed last year's championship. But he believes this season's Heat (42-14) could go down as the best team in franchise history.
"We have the best player on the planet (LeBron James) on the team and he's playing at an extremely high level, and he's making all the players around him better,'' Mourning said. "I like our chances (to win the title). I like to think … it could possibly be the best (Heat) team ever. I hope they beat that 61.''
That Miami team had the misfortune of running into Chicago, which had gone 69-13, in the Eastern Conference finals. The Heat lost 4-1.
That Heat outfit also featured Hardaway at point guard. Mourning was thrilled to see his former teammate named a Hall of Fame finalist and hopes he gets the nod when the 2013 class is announced April 8 at the Final Four in Atlanta.
"I'm very excited for him,'' Mourning said. "I'm proud of him. Tim had an amazing career and he's done a lot for the game of basketball and part of the reason my career was so successful was because of him. We kind of laid part of a foundation here in Miami for years and years.''
No Miami player ever has made the Hall of Fame, although Gary Payton is a good bet to be enshrined this year. But Payton played just his final two seasons with the team.
As for a true Heat star, if Hardaway doesn't get the call, it could be Mourning being the first in 2014.

Monthly Archives: October 2015
Palestinians Exist
Nation statehood may have been, in the 19th Century, a progressive concept, especially for people suffering under the various Empires of that time. For the Jews particularly, with their long centuries of exile, pogroms, and being driven from place to place at the whim of petty princes and manipulative politicians, the idea that they should have a state of their own, with all the legal and diplomatic protections that statehood confers on its citizens, was a progressive idea. It was intelligent. It was humane.
Tragically, the State of Israel was promised to the Zionists by the same people who had promised the Palestinian Arabs their own State, on the same piece of land. It is merely another piece of British imperial arrogance, no different from all the other examples. Someone drew a line on a map, or signed a piece of paper, with no real concern for the ethnic, religious or cultural make-up of the peoples living in the area.
In this way the concept of the nation state failed to live up to its promise. The artificial entities that were created as those Empires ripped each other apart in the early 20th Century, became, or are currently becoming, the "failed states"of the early 21st.
Today, with travel, communications, manufacturing and commerce all operating in a shrinking global village, the nation state is losing any meaning it ever had.
Israel is a lost cause. The absurd idea that 'God' promised a particular bit of scrubland to a particular tribe of pastoralists is not a valid reason for continuing the agony, the torture, the mass slaughter that is happening in Palestine. Nor do hazy histories of iron-age conquest offer any justification for such suffering.
One state is needed; a single, modern democracy, with equal rights for all citizens, irrespective of nationality, ethnicity, or choice of folk-tale. This will be difficult to achieve. But every other solution is impossible.
The 'two-state' solution is not going to happen. Decade after decade, the Zionists' relentless creation of 'facts on the ground' has made clear what has very rarely been voiced openly; namely that the two-state solution never was any part of the Zionist strategy. On the contrary, the Zionist strategy has been, from the start, to drive the Palestinians out of their geography, out of their history, out of the collective memory of the world. In the words of David Ben Gurion: "The old will die; the young will forget." That is a statement of unashamed genocidal intent; that the Palestinians, as a people, will cease to exist, and indeed it will be claimed that they never have existed. We are watching a slow but systematic act of genocide. You and I, and every other individual currently alive and capable of political engagement, is faced with a stark three way choice: actively to oppose this genocide, actively to support it, or inactively to acquiesce, pretending innocence.

Solid Gove
"If you ever saw him play, you never forgot it. The wild-man mane of hair, the scruffy beard, the glint in his eyes and the pent-up intensity of his stage persona were enough to ensure that. But then there were the propulsive stomp of his foot keeping time during the songs and the dry banter between them. And could you ever get the sounds of that gruff bluesy voice, that fleet-fingered guitar work or those rippling autoharp solos out of your head? Twenty-some years down the road, Gove has discovered that he left an indelible mark on his listeners. Here, combined on one compact disc, are almost all of Gove's original, legendary Flying Fish recordings Coconut Gove and Shady Gove, featuring guests Doc Watson, John Hartford, Marty Stuart and Buddy Emmons." –Robert K. Oermann, from his liner notes


text:
When I went to work in earnest on The Corrections, in the mid-90s, I found my way blocked by shame. I was ashamed of almost everything I'd done in my personal life for the last 15 years. I was ashamed of having married so early, ashamed of how strange and singular my marriage had been, ashamed of my guilt about it, ashamed of the years of moral contortions I'd undergone on my way to divorce, ashamed of my sexual inexperience, ashamed of what an outrageous and judgmental mother I had, ashamed of being a bleeding and undefended person instead of a tower of remoteness and command and intellect like DeLillo or Pynchon, ashamed to be writing a book that seemed to want to turn on the question of whether an outrageous midwestern mother will get one last Christmas at home with her family. I wanted to write a novel about the big issues of my day, and instead, like Josef K in The Trial, who is dismayed and maddened by having to deal with his trial while his colleagues are all pursuing their professional advantage, I was mired in shame about my innocence.
Much of my shame became concentrated in the character of Chip Lambert. I worked for a full year to get his story going, and at the end of that year I had about 30 usable pages. In the last days of my marriage, I'd had a brief relationship with a young woman I'd met when I was teaching. She wasn't a student and had never been my student, and was much kinder and more patient than the girl Chip Lambert gets involved with. But it was a very awkward and unsatisfactory relationship, a relationship I now literally writhed with shame to think about, and for some reason it seemed absolutely necessary to draw on it in telling Chip's story. And the problem was that every time I tried to put Chip into a situation like mine, he became horribly repellent to me. To make his situation plausible and understandable, I kept trying to invent a backstory for him that bore some resemblance to my own, but I couldn't stop hating my own innocence. When I tried to make Chip less innocent, more worldly-wise and sexually experienced, the story simply seemed dishonest and uninteresting. Every time I held my breath for a few days and produced a new batch of Chip pages, I ended up with stuff so icky it made me want to take a shower. The pages would start out funny but quickly devolve into a confession of my shame. There seemed to be simply no way to translate my singular weird experience into a more general and forgiving narrative that would delight the reader, rather than sending the reader running to the shower.
A lot happened in that year of struggling with Chip Lambert, and a full account of it would require excavation of the failed pages and line-by-line explication of what was wrong with them. But two things that people said to me that year stand out in particular. One was said by my mother, on the last afternoon I spent with her, when we knew she was going to die soon. On our last afternoon, in Seattle, I tried to confess a lot of things I'd always kept secret from her. They weren't terribly dark secrets – this was more of an attempt, on my part, to explain to her why I hadn't turned out to have the kind of life she'd wanted for me. I wanted to reassure her that, strange though my life might look to her, I was still going to be OK after she was gone. And my mother mostly turned out not to be interested in hearing about all the times I'd climbed out of my bedroom window at night, and how sure I'd always been of wanting to be a writer, even when I'd pretended otherwise. But late in the afternoon she made it clear that she had been listening. She nodded and said, in a kind of vague summation: "Well, you're an eccentric." This was, partly, her best effort to recognise and forgive who I was. But the statement was mainly, in its vague and summary quality – its almost dismissive tone – her way of saying that it finally didn't matter to her what kind of person I was: that my life was more important to me than it was to her; that what mattered most to her now was her own life, which was about to end. And this was one of her last gifts to me: the implicit instruction not to worry so much about what she, or anybody else, might think of me. To be myself, as she, in her dying, was being herself.
The other really helpful comment came from my great writer friend David Means a few months later, when I was complaining to him of how mad I was being driven by the problem of Chip Lambert's sexual history. David is a true artist, and his most insightful comments tend also to be his most opaque and mysterious. He said to me, on the subject of shame: "You don't write through shame, you write around it." I still couldn't tell you exactly what he meant by these contrasting prepositions, but it was immediately clear to me that my task, with Chip Lambert, was to find some way to include shame in the narrative without being overcome by it; some way to isolate and quarantine shame as an object, ideally as an object of comedy, rather than letting it permeate and poison every sentence. It was a very short step from recognising this to imagining that Chip Lambert, while having his dalliance with his student, takes an illegal drug whose primary effect is to eliminate shame. Once I had that idea, and could finally begin to laugh at shame, I wrote the rest of the Chip section in a few weeks and the rest of the novel in a year.
Next week John Mullan looks at readers' responses.

BREAKING: J.J. Abrams to Direct Star Wars: Episode VII!
Star Trek Into Darkness helmer J.J. Abrams will direct Star Wars: Episode VII for Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm, reports TheWrap. The site says that Ben Affleck was also in contention.
Back in November, Abrams commented on the possibility of him directing and it sounded like it wasn't happening:
"Look, Star Wars is one of my favorite movies of all time. I frankly feel that – I almost feel that, in a weird way, the opportunity for whomever it is to direct that movie, it comes with the burden of being that kind of iconic movie and series. I was never a big Star Trek fan growing up, so for me, working on Star Trek didn't have any of that, you know, almost fatal sacrilege, and so, I am looking forward more then anyone to the next iterations of Star Wars, but I believe I will be going as a paying moviegoer!"
TheWrap adds that Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy has been courting Abrams for the director's chair for a while.
Star Wars: Episode VII is scheduled to hit theaters in 2015. Michael Arndt is writing the script. Disney and Lucasfilm are planning a new trilogy with a new movie coming every other year.
The only response to that is: NNNNnnnnnnooooooo.....!!!!
Looks like the worthless fool will flush another "Star" franchise down the toilet ... the only saving grace might be that Abrams doesn't actually do anything more than rubber-stamp his name on other people's work.
Time to get out before the big crash ... For Sale: One Huge Star Wars collection.

The Mule Shoe
by Perry Trouche
No critic rating
Waiting for minimum critic reviews
A TIME MACHINE COULD TAKE US NO CLOSER! Synopsis of The Mule Shoe by Perry Trouche Give a nearsighted child glasses for the first time and what you'll hear immediately is "I can see the leaves". This sudden clarity strikes the protagonist Conner DuMont in the final chapter of The Mule Shoe but it comes with a price. The dogma, promises and tradition of the past are gone. He can no longer go on doing things the way they have always been done. With this change comes awareness of his conformity and acquiescence to a society built on evil. The Mule Shoe is Conner's journey through his subconscious that takes him, past and present, through beliefs and memories to final acceptance of a new era built on truth. The trauma of the horror of combat hastens the process. Like the peeling of an onion causing tears, Conner's gradual descent into his mind unleashes emotions that overwhelm reality. The story is set at the battle of Spotsylvania, Virginia, in 1864 during the American Civil War, but Conner's mental journey encompasses his childhood on the sea islands of South Carolina, the recent death of his cousin for which he blames himself, and the fantasy of life through the eyes of the common soldiers he meets. He struggles to stay in the present but death, and the fear surrounding it, propel him into a dream world of memories, real and imagined. His day to day reality is increasingly bombarded with hallucinations in which the significant people of his past and present deliver a running commentary on his life. As the combat worsens at the Muleshoe Salient, he is unable to differentiate reality from delusion. He creates a world of calming touch to replace the insanity of war, readily embracing the delusion of soothing affection to overcome mind numbing savagery. The final acts of killing sever his last tie to his prior life. He retreats physically from battle as he wanders mentally in search of acceptance and peace. As he has learned to kill in reality, he finds he must do the same in his delusional world. The power to kill is the evil on which his world has been built. The final act of killing a childhood friend is so repugnant that it frees him from all attachment to his past. He accepts peace as he would use clear, cold water to rinse an open wound. Hope for life and peace replaces the misery of war. The Mule Shoe is twenty-four chapters, half of which are in the present, June 1864, and half, flashbacks and fantasy. The historical accuracy has been well researched and the emotional journey based on the author's extensive experience as a psychiatrist.

Accidents happen sometimes. It can be a bit annoying and distressing, like when you open the back of your camera to take the finished film out, except you had forgotten to rewind the film, so the last part was exposed to direct light. This happened after a little field trip to Kronborg during Easter. I guess I can always go back, though, and I do kind of like the light leak in the second last picture.
On the subject of accidents, there is no news on my computer or camera from the police, but I am saving up hardcore so hopefully in a month or two I will be up to speed again. I'd like to thank all of you who donated, whatever the amount, a million times from the bottom of my heart! I am completely overwhelmed by your kindness and I will find a way to give back.
Until then I hope you will all bear with me, I'm trying to keep up with posts and comments (should be up to date with them now mostly) but I don't have enough internet time to respond to all of them at the same time. A special thanks to everyone who left comments about books and veg*ism – I really appreciate your input!
Now – happy weekend!

It was September 11, 2001 that changed not just my life. But a lot of people were changed.
I was in the 5th grade and just came in from P.E. The teacher tells the class that the World Trade Centers were being attacked. When families found out about what happen they went down with tears.
It was a one bad day for America and a lot of people didn't know what to do. We were in class and all we did for the rest of the day was watch the news. All it talked about was how many people were in their, that they couldn't get out. The reason that changed my life was because a lot of kids were to young to know their dads. I put my self in their position and ask myself how would I feel if I lost my mom in a building that planes crashed into?
How would I feel if I was a little kid didn't really get to know my parents very well? I think a lot of people should think like that and it would stop most crimes. But my belief is over killing is wrong. you should be able to live with out thinking about someone trying to kill you. America would be great if their was not any killing. Most crimes are from killings.
It is good when you can live without being killed by someone or killing someone. I could not ever kill anyone because I hope nobody would kill me or any of my family. I had a person in my family get killed before I was born, she was shoot. Her daughter did not get to know because she was just a baby. That was not right because her dad was in jail all her life and she did not know her mother. I would be very sad if I did not know my parents. That what happens to most children to day. We are all going to die some day but it should not be with someone killing us. Now you know what I believe in.

Franak Vyachorka was beaten on day he was called up
The military prosecutor's office admitted the fact of beating of the leader of the "BPF Youth" on the day he was called up.
Father of the opposition activist, deputy head of the Belarusian Popular Front Vintsuk Vyachorka, received an answer to his complaint of January 29 from the Minsk inter-garrison prosecutor's office.
The answer, signed by lieutenant colonel of justice A. Vasilyuk, deputy head of the Minsk inter-garrison military prosecutor, informed Vintsuk Vyachorka that he was denied instigation of a criminal case against staff of the recruiting center of the Savetski district and the 432nd Main military clinic medical center on the ground using physical force and abuse of power.
At the same time, the military prosecutor's office extracted materials on using force against Franak Vyachorka by "militiaman (including unidentified persons in mufti) and sent them to other competent investigative agencies.
The military prosecutor's office examined Franak Vyachorka in the military unit in Baranavichy:
"According to a report of the expert #263 of 30.01.2009, during examination of F. Vyachorka on 29.01.2009, were found: a bruise on the anterointernal part of the right shoulder (1), a bruise (1) and an injury (1) on the posterior surface of the right forearm in the projection of the radiocarpal joint, bruises on the back of the right wrist in the projection of the third carpal bone (1), on the external surface of the left upper arm (1), on the posterior surface of the left forearm in the projection of the left radiocarpal joint (1), on the antero-external surface of the right lower leg (1). These 7 injuries, taken into account a possibility of a simultaneous appearing of some of them, appeared as a result of not less than 6 traumatic exposure of blunt objects (...). Possibilities that the above mentioned injures appeared on the date and in the circumstances, called by the victim, are not excluded."
Vintsuk Vyachorka, father of the youth activist, commented on the answer of the inter-garrison prosecutor's office:
"We had no doubts that a criminal case wouldn't be instigated. But the details of the so called draft are obvious. The secret services, due to their absence of experience or overconfidence, left so many traces, including those on the body of my son, that it is impossible to ignore them. The answer of the inter-garrison prosecutor's office confirms he had been beaten. There are witnesses who how he left hospital guarded by unknown people. The impudent lawlessness must be stopped. We won't keep silence. We will appeal against this dismissal."
It should be reminded that on July 16, 2008, the medical board of the recruiting center of the Savetski district of Minsk found Franak Vyachorka unfit for military service because of is health. Vyachorka had a determent due to eye surgery and some chronic diseases. He was made to appear before another medical commission that found him fir for the military service. On January 17, Franak Vyachorka appealed against the actions of the military men and doctors at the draft campaign. The court admitted Franak Vyachorka fit for military service despite problems with health.

Hi everyone! I was a bit tentative about posting a recap but I really enjoyed reading them and looking for inspiration when I was planning, so I guess I ought to pay it forward. We were married in the middle of August in Dublin, Ireland. My family is American and my husband's is Polish, so we chose Ireland as a compromise "in the middle". We had about 50 guests in all, and despite all of the stress it actually may have been the best day ever 🙂 So without further ado, pics!

Indicating that credit has improved because of balance-sheet and financial-market recovery and somewhat lower liability risk, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its outlook for the U.S. Life insurance sector to stable.
The ratings agency, however, doesn't expect many upgrades anytime soon because of heated competition and very low interest rates, according to analyst Matthew Carroll.
As the economic downturn whittled down the base of people seeking insurance, competition over the smaller pool intensified. In addition, consistently low interest rates make profitability gains difficult for insurers, especially those with spread-based products or variable annuities, which often guaranteed higher rates than what is the current trend.
Carroll also noted insurers still face potential losses from commercial real estate.
However, the pace of S&P downgrades in the sector has slowed this year, and a smaller proportion of insurers have either negative outlooks or ratings on watch for downgrade. Only 6% of rated insurers have positive ratings outlooks.
S&P also said many life insurers have made significant strides in rebuilding capital and liquidity levels since the financial crisis.
It cited the economic downturn for pressuring life insurers' earnings, investment and capital, which resulted in the agency's negative outlook on the industry since October 2008.

Best Product: Petzl Zipka Plus Headlamp
The first time we donned a headlamp was during a camping trip. A kind co-worker gave us a Petzl for a gift and we thanked them and thought, "headlamp=total dork". And then we found out how important the two-hand rule is when carrying boiling hot water around your campsite in the total dark. Or when reaching in to dark corners in the basement. Or for fumbling for keys on the ground when you forgot to leave the porchlight on. Now our headlamp lives on our bedside table when it's not stashed in our purse or strapped to our forehead...
We've since re-gifted our original headlamp to a friend who works with pyrotechnics and found it better than a lighter for mid-show in-the-dark searches (yikes). We recently picked up a newer and flashier version at REI. This one has 4 settings to select from: low, medium, high and strobe (for those campfire dance parties).
We like the retractable band that makes it easy to wear on your head or wrist; we've attached it to our bike and our bag...
But our favorite uses?
1. As a mini light when someone next to us zonks out earlier and our book is too good to put down.
2. On the plane when our reading light inevitably doesn't work.
3. In the middle of the night when the earth starts quaking and you need two hands to find your shoes.
4. For working in some dark place where you need two hands to hold the nail, screw or hammer. This one has proved particularly handy and we're considering adding a second Petlz to our hardware kit...
Get your own Petzl here, $39.95 includes batteries.

The ADS7865 is a dual, 12-bit, 2MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with four fully differential or six pseudo-differential input channels grouped into two pairs for high-speed, simultaneous signal acquisition. Inputs to the sample-and-hold (S/H) amplifiers are fully differential and are maintained differentially to the input of the ADC. This architecture provides excellent common-mode rejection of 72dB at 100kHz, which is a critical performance characteristic in noisy environments.
The ADS7865 is pin-compatible with the ADS7862, but offers additional features such as a programmable channel sequencer and reference output, flexible supply voltage (2.7V to 5.5V for AVDD and BVDD), a pseudo-differential input multiplexer with three channels per ADC, and several power-down features.
The ADS7865 is offered in a TQFP-32 package. It is specified over the extended operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

Happy December dear readers!
I have been away recovering from an acute bout of allergies and migraines. It is only appropriate that my first post back should be about health.
I know how hard you have to work to stay on top of the demands that are placed on your time. Your oldest child probably needs glasses, your younger kid has to be enrolled in soccer and all your baby wants to do is play with you. It feels selfish to say no and focus on your needs.
But, good health is an essential component of a productive life! Especially if you are a parent, health and vitality are key to raising and managing a family.
On top of these demanding family duties, you may be in the midst of a career transition! When I mention health, you say, "I barely have time to get things done! Where will I find the time to even think about my health? How do I find the time to plan for a healthy lifestyle?"
But, my dear, don't you realize that your health is at the core of your dreams, desires and goals? Without your health, achieving your dreams and celebrating your success, don't mean a thing!
Furthermore, good health is the very foundation upon which a happy life can be built. Never take your health for granted!
[quotcoll id =167]
If you haven't given your health the attention it deserves, I hope this article is a wake up call for you. Allow me to tell you a little story…
Back in 2006, I took a hiatus from my corporate job for the first time. My hiatus was motivated by my desire to spend more time with my 2nd son, but it was also because I was 55 lbs. overweight.
The photo below is proof positive of how focusing on my work and growing my family had taken its toll on me.
And let me tell ya, I am on the petite side and all that weight was just… weighing me down! I had no energy to run around with my two munchkins. I knew that no matter where my career took me I had to improve my health.
So… I did what I had to do. After I took a break from my job, I joined Weight Watchers. I adhered to that program like my life depended on it. I tracked every single thing I ate and worked out every day of the week.
I have to admit, it was very hard to get into the swing of things initially. I had a toddler and an infant. They required my time. I also didn't want to let my skills atrophy, and was enrolled in online training during my hiatus.
But I realized that if I didn't start right then, I would continue to spiral down towards even worse health. When I looked at my family history, it was pretty clear what awaited me at the end of that dark tunnel – diabetes, heart problems, more sinus problems, even arthritis…
The facts don't lie, for every extra pound you pack on your frame, you are placing more stress on your skeletal structure, you are jeopardizing your immune system and you are impairing the function of your brain. The excess weight also aggravates other health problems you may have, like allergies, sinus issues, diabetes etc.
It took me a solid 8 months to get those 55 lbs. off!
The hardest part was motivating myself in the beginning. Once I had a routine established, I was able to see progress every week. Whether you have 10 lbs. to lose or 100, I am telling you it can be done. But there is a smart way to do it.
Here are my 7 key tips to living a healthy life.
Healthy Life Tip #1: Create A Structure
When you are trying to get back on track to good health, I recommend adopting a program. The program provides a framework for you. All you have to do is follow the rules and focus on taking care of yourself.
As with any program you have to find one that fits your lifestyle. WW has worked wonders for me. I used their program for the first time in 2001 before my wedding. I was able to get in shape fast! I have used their Core plan a few more times since then.
The program you choose will depend on what you need help with? Which takes me to the next tip…
Healthy Life Tip #2: Identify Your Triggers
Everyone has their triggers. Work stress, lack of time to plan, inability to stick to a schedule, or lack of support, these are all triggers that can cause you to lean towards an unhealthy lifestyle.
Being aware of your triggers will help you identify them when they rear their ugly head and nip them in the bud.
In my case it was having 2 kids within 3 years, lack of sleep and work stress. Imposing a structure on my diet and fitness kept me on track. I had tools and support to tackle the triggers. You may also need to…
Healthy Living Tip #3: Recruit Help
I couldn't have achieved any level of success without the full support of my husband!
Granted he still bought potato chips and ice cream, but he understood my desire to stick to a strict diet. He watched the kids while I went to the gym and provided moral support when I needed it. Also the community at WW was tremendously helpful.
However, it is all in vain unless you…
Healthy Life Tip #4: Set Realistic Expectations
With pregnancy you learn that if it took you 9 months to put it on, it is bound to take you at least 9 months to get it off.
Initially I was very aggressive, halving my calories and doubling my workouts, only to feel enervated. By pacing myself and focusing on the long-term goal, I was able to set a realistic timeframe. This also establishes a baseline.
By all means push yourself to recognize your limits. You will learn how hard you are willing to work and what you are willing to sacrifice to achieve your fitness goals. But remember to set realistic expectations for yourself.
To see a long lasting change, you have to…
Healthy Life Tip #5: Shift Your Thinking
Clearly if you are reading an article about health and weight loss it means that you know that something is amiss.
You know that something has to change. You can shift your thinking by shifting your feeling.
How would you like to feel? More vibrant, more energetic, more sexy?
When faced with a trigger that can cause you to regress, shift your thinking to move towards the way you want to feel! Take one small action towards who you want to become.
Change comes from within. Leading a healthy life is all about how you perceive yourself.
An analogy I learnt from a wise lady, if you own a high performance car, would you put low grade fuel in that car? No! Nothing but the very highest grade fuel will ensure that you car runs smooth.
Healthy Life Tip #6: Be Kind To Yourself
Part of changing your thinking is to treat yourself more kindly. Berating yourself on your appearance or your weaknesses doesn't help. If you are unable to run (as I was initially), workout on a treadmill or an elliptical machine.
If you are unable to do weights, start off with smaller weights or resistance bands. If you do regress get back on track immediately by watching your diet.
Being kind also means you must learn to…
Healthy Life Tip #7: Reward Yourself
Celebrate each milestone and preferably not through food or alcohol!
My favorite rewards are massages, books or shoes. Acknowledging each milestone, be it a weight loss goal, an increase in your endurance level or accomplishing something new altogether (try biking) feels good! It will motivate you to keep going.
One reason people give up on their fitness journey is because they fail to find that spark of inner drive. Beyond a certain point, even the tangible goals, such as seeing the numbers on your scale drop, will not keep you going.
Appreciate the extrinsic and intrinsic rewards of leading a healthy life!
These tips kept me motivated on my journey to losing 55 lbs. almost 6 years ago!
Achieving this goal, made me pursue other audacious goals, such as doing not just one but two skydiving jumps!
I kept those pounds off for over 3 years until I had my daughter.
Which takes me to the present day…
My recent illness has as much to do with controlling my allergies as it does with laser focus on my career and neglect of my health.
Writing and consulting are sedentary occupations. Entrepreneurship is no easy task, with a myriad of challenges that lurk at every turn.
I find myself at a place where I am far from a healthy weight. And I am starting my fitness journey all over again.
It has been so easy to come up with excuses.
"I am quitting my job, I don't have time to start a fitness program."
"I want to write half a million words this year, I can't even think about exercising now!"
"I am already suffering from allergies, I don't have the energy to do cardio."
"I hate Winter. Besides, the holidays are no time to begin a new diet! I will just put it off until the New Year."
I have been using these excuses for almost 2 years now.
But enough is enough! I am done feeling exhausted. I am done dealing with health problems. Most of all I am done not being able to run.
Think about it, if I can't find the time to take care of my most precious asset – my body and my mind – how can I hope to accomplish half of what I have planned? Besides I must get back to my dainty self to film some inspiring videos.
Weight loss is just one part of the health equation. If you have a chronic problem, you must take the initiative to get yourself diagnosed.
Since dealing with these allergies, I have had a full workup done by an allergist. I highly recommend undergoing this procedure if you suffer from seasonal or chronic allergies. Turns out, I am allergic to many things in my indoor and outdoor environment!
No wonder I am tired! I have no intention of moving from my gorgeous Virginia or giving up my interest in hiking/biking.
But what I am prepared to do is experiment with different medications and find one that is better suited to me.
Side Note: Even FDA approved OTC drugs can present problems, if you are experiencing adverse side effects consult your allergist or family doctor.
In spring, I will begin allergen immunotherapy. Let me tell you, I hate needles! But, I am prepared to enroll in this program for the long-term benefits.
Just imagining a daylong hike or playing in the park with my kids without sneezing, or sniffling makes me want to jump for joy!
Being in the best of my health, active and outdoors, that's not just a pipe dream. I have it within me to achieve that goal. I have made it happen before and it is time to make it happen again!
If there is one thing I have learnt from choosing an authentic life it is this, we must begin where we are, right now.
Every small change is important because it is those small shifts that lead to large wins.
The greatest private victory of all is the one you can have over your body.
Take care of your body first. The rest will soon follow. Choose to lead a healthy life. Begin today.
Many blessings and love!

When I woke up this morning, there was snow on the patch of grass we call lawn, and across the street the neighbors were removing loads of it from their cars. So I got into my penguin suit and waddled out to shovel.
OMG! No snow and no ice atop my car.. it just looked freshly washed. What an incredible surprise. What amazing grace is this, today is going to be great, I feel invincible…this is the first time I've actually seen a miracle.. I'm singing!
But, why, why, why.. just can't let go…….wind direction? heat generated when the car next door was getting warmed? Ok.. got it, I must have reached home last night after most of the snow had fallen. Whew! I knew it had to be simple.
Now you see, blessed are those who don't seek scientific explanations, for they can see magic in everyday life.

Looking forward to Zombie Army Trilogy? Perhaps you want to brush up on your zombie killing skills ahead of the release next month? Well, here's a sneaky way of doing so while making a tidy saving. Gamersgate are currently doing a weekend sale on all things sniper related, which includes Nazi Zombie Army 1 and Nazi Zombie Army 2. You can grab both of them for a total of £5. Doing so will give you codes to redeem on Steam, which will in turn will reduce the pre-order price of Zombie Army Trilogy by 60%, making it a total spend of £17 overall. Considering how much fun I had with it with the recent hands-on event, I'd say it's a fantastic deal at £17 for a copy.

Beautiful aromas of red fruits, licorice and black pepper, flavores of cherry and spice that lends a welcome sense of delicacy. The wine is quite dry but flavorful along the spiced and macerated red and black berry and plum range, and it's powered by vibrant acidity for propulsive energy. Tannins, on the other hand, feeling carved from dusty underbrush, briers and brambles, are tranquil, deeply set and inexorable. 100 percent Grenache aged in neutral oak with native fermentation.

Top PNW4WDA photo
It's a beautiful picture but to big for the forum pages. It can be shortened about 75 pixels and still looks great. Still does not match the rest of the site. The regular website should blend seamlessly into the forum.
If you change the code for the picture to what's posted below you will get rid of that nasty looking border surounding the photo. All that is added is "border="0"

Well **** it worked
but one thing in My View the top picture is smaller than My Forum view
Get a mac...:Augie:
oh here is another Fact, My Screan view is set at 1024X768 so that picture is set smaller and the forum is wider.. If I downgread the quality I view, to 800X600 then I see it wider... Old school computers suck.
That's because the picture is a set size 783x200 and the forums are set to what looks to be 100%
Here is some Examples as to what Screen Resalution dose for the Picture at the Top
See what I mean, you can't please everybody
That's exactly right. When I build websites I have three computers with different size screens and several browsers. I check them all to make sure nothing bad happens like scrolling sideways. But it will look different on several. The CSS scripts help minimize these diferances.
My comment on picture size was the height, not width. IMO the height takes up to much room and you immediately have to scroll down. In the long run the basic pages in the site will have to look similar to the forum. As it stands now when you go from the website home page to the forum it looks as though you went to a different website.
In addition to that has a banner ad program been discussed to promote our commercail sponsors, Trail Jam, BRC etc...

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - How closely do you look at expiration dates when you're in the grocery store? The numbers are small, but they serve a big purpose. You may need to depend on your own eyes to ensure your food is up to date.
Joe Nathan Barnes knows good home cooking. It's a passion he's perfected over 73 years. In October, he prepared a fine feast for a friend.
"I got lobsters, baby asparagus, baked potato," Joe said.
But when it came time for the final fixing's, Joe was horrified when he peeled back the foil on his sour cream.
"A big glob of green, just a big ole hunk of green," he said.
He checked the side of the container. The expiration date was Monday, October 3rd - two days before he bought it. He immediately called the store, but that got him nowhere.
His next move was to contact the Department of Agriculture. It's their job to inspect anyplace that makes stores or sells food in Virginia. They say the two things you cannot sell past the expiration date are baby formula and dairy products.
"They are to be pulled from sale," said Pam Miles with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
When they get a complaint, inspectors go to the store, validate the claim and speak with the management. Then the expired items get pulled from sale.
"We give them a chance to fix it," Miles said.
And that's exactly what happened here. A week after Joe complained inspectors visited the community supermarket in Southside Plaza. According to the department's report, this store's shelves sported ten cans of infant formula past expiration, which was pulled from sale immediately.
The inspector then hit the dairy section. They found another sour cream that was 9 days past its date. Managers assured the inspector that the store's policy was in line with the law.
It's been two weeks since Joe bought moldy sour cream and one week since the inspection, so we went back to see if everything had been fixed.
In five minutes, we found six products in the dairy section that should've been removed. Eggs, 5 days past the expiration date, French onion dip was 6, this yogurt drink is almost 2 weeks overdue and it only gets worse. Block cheese 19 days past its date, more than three weeks ago this cottage cheese should have been pulled and the worst was this shredded cheese-it should've been yanked 35 days before.
So how could this happen if inspectors were just there? We brought our findings back to Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and they say, based on our findings, the case is going to be reopened. Therefore, no more details concerning the case can be released.
The Department of Agriculture does have the authority to close down a non-complying store, but hasn't had to do so in the past. The manager of community supermarket tells us the dairy manager was new to the job and they're working to make sure all the foods are pulled according to date.

Meaning of SYNCOPE in English
Effect of temporary impairment of blood circulation to a part of the body.
It is often used as a synonym for fainting, which is loss of consciousness due to inadequate blood flow to the brain. Paleness, nausea, sweating, and then pupil dilation, yawning, deep rapid breathing, and rapid heartbeat usually precede it. It lasts from under a minute to several minutes and may be followed by headache, confusion, and a weak feeling. The cause may be physical (e.g., heart failure , low blood sugar) or emotional (e.g., fear, anxiety). Abnormal vagus or autonomic nerve response can cause fainting (without preceding symptoms) triggered by ordinary activities such as urination, swallowing, coughing, or standing up or by pressure on the pulse point in the neck. Local syncope is coldness and numbness in a small area, especially the fingers, from diminished blood flow.

The company has maintained it expects to net between $40 million and $50 million this year via Media Net initiatives in 2001. Thus far, though, stung by the sagging economy, Tribune Media Net President Dave Murphy said the unit is performing "below plan" for the full year, though he added, "we're tracking pretty close to where we wanted to be."
First-quarter revenue related to Media Net, said Tribune Publishing Chief Financial Officer Jerry Agema in an April 18 conference call with analysts, was $9 million, $8 million of which came in the first two months.
Tribune's first-quarter earnings, announced April 18, achieved the reduced earnings-per-share estimates the company had guided analysts toward, but nonetheless declined 21% from last year. Also, the company lowered second-quarter estimates to 30 cents per share, where analysts had expected 40 cents.
In the conference call, the company warned it would look "very aggressively" at reducing headcount throughout the year. Last week, Newsday publisher Raymond Jansen alerted staffers that 30 to 50 positions could be eliminated. Staffers at the Los Angeles Times, long abuzz with rumors of cutbacks, were likely not reassured upon hearing a Tribune executive tell analysts in the conference call that Tribune "saw further [headcount] reductions" there, "through a number of actions."
Mr. Murphy backed off quantifying what Tribune Media Net would mean to the company. "I'm fixated on year one," he said. In March, Business Week reported Tribune CEO John Madigan's "expectations" for additional incremental revenue via Tribune Media Net would hit $200 million by 2005.
Tribune Publishing President Jack Fuller tempered expectations as well. "Recognize those [revenue expectations] are modeled not in an economic slowdown period, but for a more normal" time, he said.
Media Net is not without successes. Mr. Murphy cited one package in Los Angeles created around the Oscar ceremonies between the Los Angeles Times and Tribune's local TV affiliate KTLA that generated about $150,000. And an Air Jamaica package resulted in the airline running ads on KTLA for the first time. Overall, the Los Angeles Times alone took in about $2 million in cross-media sales through February.
But some insist the Media Net strategy is incomplete without a larger New York metro presence.
"They don't have a newspaper that really sells in Manhattan," said David Cole, editor and publisher of trade newsletter News Inc. "I think they have to, to make the strategy work."
Newsday has bulked up its Queens presence. But, said Mr. Fuller, "we are duly wary about attempting to march back into Manhattan. Newsday tried that once. We've been there with the Daily News."
Tribune grew so desperate to leave New York that it essentially paid British media baron Robert Maxwell to take the Daily News off its hands in 1991. New York Newsday, launched in 1985 and closed in 1995, was never profitable and lost an estimated $100 million.
Tribune has made an alliance with the Daily News for potential inclusion in some national ad packages-ironic in that the News will be Newsday's toughest foe in Queens-a subject on which Tribune executives are mum.
"You've got to be patient with Media Net," said Kevin Gruneich, an analyst with Bear Stearns, New York. "It's being launched at a difficult time. ... Hopefully it will develop some muscle that will come in handy when the ad market turns up."
Still, some advertisers say they've yet to hear much from Tribune Media Net. "They have to raise their tempo," said Steve Greenberger, exec VP, Interpublic Group of Cos.' Initiative Media, Los Angeles.

Cordlife India earmarks Rs 15 crore for marketing, branding in FY15
KOLKATA: Cordlife India, a healthcare company, which had spent less than Rs 10 crore on the marketing activities last fiscal, has increased the budget outlay to around Rs 15 crore in the current fiscal 2014-15. This, to strengthen its presence in the country.
Recently, this umbilical cord and cord blood processing, testing and cryo-preservation company launched its first advertising campaign, with an aim to encourage to-be parents to take the first step of responsibility. While Rediffusion Y&R created the TVC in Hindi, English and even Bengali, the company is looking at translating the ad in other regional languages as well.
Cordlife MD Meghnath Roy Chowdhury says, "We want to strengthen our presence in the country. Right now, we have 60 centres in India. We had a good digital presence so far, but now we have increased the spent in keeping with our expansion plans."
Chowdhury informs that while the company grew by almost 100 per cent in the last fiscal, it is hoping at growing by more than 150 to 200 per cent this year.
The advertisement brings out the importance of stem cell banking. More so it also shows how the process could ensure safety of the child. "Parenthood is the best feeling for anyone planning a family but it also comes with a lot of responsibility," opines Chowdhury.
"The communication reflects the joys of parenting and the happiness that shines through an entire household when a baby is born in that family. It explores various emotions of the to-be parents as they get ready for a new beginning in their lives before entering a product window which details the merits of stem cell banking," he adds.
The campaign reaches out to the urban couples who are not only well informed but give utmost preference to the safety of their family. "The communication shows the importance of cord blood stem cell banking and how the technologically backed practice can prove to be a boon for the child in future. It not only creates awareness for the brand ? Cordlife, but also proves to be beneficial for the industry,? he says.
Chief creative officer for the current TVC is Komal Bedi Sohal, while executive creative directors are Piyash Ghosh and Nilanjan Dasgupta.
Cordlife operates one of the largest networks of umbilical cord and cord blood stem cell banks in the Asia Pacific region covering Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Philippines and has strategic investments in China Cord Blood Corporation (CCBC), one of the leading Stem Cell Bank in China.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT)- In 2013, there were a total of 2,568 traffic accidents in Jonesboro according to a report by the Jonesboro Police Department.
Most accidents happened in October from 12 noon to 6 pm. JPD said with more cars on the roads it only takes one distracted driver to cause an accident.
"Stadium, Caraway and Highland especially on Stadium a lot of accidents happen, people try to get in and out of businesses," Perry Smith, manager of Mattress King in Jonesboro.
Smith said he has witnessed a lot of accidents.
"I've seen on Stadium as many as 3 accidents in a day, hundreds of cars trying to get home from work or get to lunch or whatever," he said.
Red Wolf Blvd, Highland, Caraway and Nettleton are the more popular roads in Jonesboro where most accidents tend to occur. Sgt. Doug Formon with JPD said another problem intersection is Main and Nettleton.
"Sometimes the traffic that turns off of main street want to go east bound then it gets blocked off again by a red light again there at Church and suddenly you have that congestion," Formon said.
He said anytime you have 5 or 6 lanes at an intersection there tends to be more congestion and confusion.
"Anytime you have a lot more cars, a lot more drivers , it takes that one un attended driver then suddenly you're going to have an accident," Formon said.
He said most accidents are caused by drivers texting behind the wheel.
"Some have taken texting from the steering wheel where they had a good view, and now the law says you can't text so they put their phones in their laps so they are constantly having their eyes away from the road," Formon said.
He said city officials are looking into ways to alleviate traffic congestion. But Smith has a few ideas of his own.
"As we grow, we're going to need some bypasses I guess because we are going to continue to grow or not let people in to the city," he said.

Hacksaw Ridge Trailer and Poster
Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge (2016) movie trailer stars Andrew Garfield, Teresa Palmer, Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, and Vince Vaughn. Hacksaw Ridge's plot synopsis: "WWII American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, played by Garfield, was drafted into World War II at age 23. Raised a Seventh-day Adventist, he refused to kill or carry a weapon and, as such, became stationed as a medic. President Harry S. Truman presented Doss with his commendation on November 1, 1945, citing numerous acts of bravery and sacrifice performed by Doss in the line of duty. Doss was the only American soldier to serve on the front lines without a weapon, and single-handedly saved the lives of 75 men."
Hacksaw Ridge Poster
Hacksaw Ridge Movie Poster
I am not surprised that the director of Braveheart, Apocalypto, and The Passion of The Christ produced what looks like a good war film. What I was surprised about was Doss' story. Desmond T. Doss was an impressive individual and soldier.
Hacksaw Ridge also stars Hugo Weaving, Rachel Griffiths, Richard Roxburgh, Matt Nable, Nathaniel Buzolic, Ryan Corr, Goran D. Kleut, Firass Dirani, Milo Gibson, and Ben O'Toole.

A new email, allegedly from Steve Jobs about the iPhone 4 antenna band problems -- where touching the stainless steel on the lower left side causes the signal to drop or go away completely -- seems to a offer a response either curtly dismissive or perhaps... encouraging?
