Numerical simulations of direct injection (DI) heavy-duty diesel engine combustion over the entire engine operating range were conducted using the KIVA code, with modifications to the spray, combustion, turbulence, and heat transfer models. In this work, the effect of the rates of species conversion from reactants to products in the combustion model was investigated, and a characteristic time combustion model was formulated to allow consideration of multiple characteristic time scales for the major chemical species. In addition, the effect of engine operating conditions on the model formulation was assessed, and correlations were introduced into the combustion model to account for the effects of residual gas and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). The predictions were compared with extensive engine test data. The calculation results, had good overall agreement with the experimental cylinder pressure and heat release results, and the multiple-time-scale combustion model is shown to give improved emissions predictions compared to a previous single-time-scale model. Overall, the NOx predictions are in good agreement with the experiments. The soot predictions are also in reasonable agreement with the measured particulates at medium and high loads. However, at light loads, the agreement deteriorates, possibly due to the neglect of the contribution of SOF in the soot model predictions.

They say that when you reach 1,000,000 written words you have finally started to become a good writer.
I have two goals when it comes to writing. First and foremost, my goal is to die a very good storyteller. That is paramount in my writing life. Whatever happens as a result of that quest whether it be I am able to write for a living or it stays a hobby and just a hand full of people read my stuff, so be it. I want to become a really good storyteller. For that to happen, many small things must take place (research, studying and practice writing) but the next big one that I will focus on while I do that is to get to one million words. Give or take a few. Seems like a good stretch goal to goal number one, don't you think?
I started writing Pandora's Chase about 4 years ago (this contradicts what I've previously said – you can thank my wife for setting me straight:) ) During this time, I have written Pandora's Chase, three chapters of Lockheed Elite, Death's Awakening and various other short stories and random starts to ideas as well as a bunch of blog posts. That word count totals right around 200,000 words. Honestly, I would have guessed that number to be higher and it probably is. There were a lot of re-writes for the beginning and ending and middle parts of Pandora's Chase but I really don't know how to count that. So I've added a little buffer in there. Still that was a lot of work to only get to two hundred thousand.
How much writing is that? Well, to find how many pages something is by way of word count, typically you just divide by 250-300 and that should be pretty accurate depending on font, size and line spacing. So in my writing lifetime, if we put it all into one book, I've written about 650-800 pages. Interesting. My Lord of the Rings book is about a thousand pages not including the appendices and that one has over 500,000 words in it. So I guess you can see there's a bit of a tolerance there but you get the picture.
Big picture Tyler, stop rambling no matter how interesting you think it is. Here's what I see here. Just based on novel writing alone, to become any good at it I need to write eight 125,000 word novels! Sounds like a lot doesn't it. Not if you're looking at my first goal for my writing career. I said I want to die a great storyteller. Not counting my eternal writing life in Heaven, I figure my life here is about half over so I have about 37-40 years to become a great storyteller. With Pandora's Chase under my belt I'm going to be much faster at planning and writing novels moving forward so I can say with confidence that I could average one novel a year for the rest of my life. (Side goal there is to get up to 2 or more a year if I can quite my day job!)
That being said, with my undeniable logic here, my 40th novel is going to be at the very least a best seller. I'm good with that.
Okay so since we're talking you should know what's going on lately.
Honestly, not much other than writing. Kinda boring I know but if you figure in all the other stuff, it's good.
Here's why:
Since January, my writing life basically consisted of these big chunks of time for these things. Writing and studying writing techniques, creating maintaining and working on my online presence, and generally trying to figure out how this all works.
Since then, I feel I have pretty much nailed down the website and social media presence so it's really just blog posting, and little posts here and there on social media. Basically I've seen a huge reduction in time consumption setting that all up and that time has been supplanted with general writing for Pandora's Chase and Lockheed Elite and I have seen a big jump forward in progress. Pandora's Chase has been given to my Editor and I should get that back in the next couple of days. Then it's off to the finish line there for the Final Draft. (2-3 months of work – maybe less maybe more, remember I'm still new at this). Lockheed Elite is rolling and publishing regularly on Channillo. I just finished chapter three and am about to give that to my Editor. You will see that posted somewhere around Christmas time.
So what am I trying to say here in this blog post. Maybe you don't care anymore, it really has been a little disjointed. Let me boil this down for you in simple terms. I love writing. It is a fascinating thing for me. I love exploring characters and story lines and falling into the abyss of a story that takes me all the way out of reality is my little way of jumping into a sort of alternate reality. It is fun for me the likes of which I cannot describe with any worthy set of words and I think I'm finally homing in on how to do this. I'm really excited for next year to see how much I'll grow as a writer, I'm excited to see what comes out of my mind goo, I'm excited to publish Pandora's Chase…
I'm excited to become a really good storyteller.
Maybe we can put that on my tombstone. 'Here lies Tyler Wandschneider. Born May 8th, 1978 – Died a really good storyteller on TBD.' (It felt creepy putting a fictitious death date there.)
Til next time friends,

to own up to films making me cry. Then, to go and watch it all from the very beginning once more, because I missed the beginning…..
And, you know what? I cried all over again.
There are times when I really do wonder about myself.
Apart from weepiness and lethargy, I think I've more or less shaken off all the lurgies that have been lurking. Which is just as well, because tomorrow, and the next, ooo, twenty four days or so are going to be Very Busy.
Now, just to psyche myself up for my annual seasonal clashes. How to keep Advent when I work in a world that thinks that from here on in is Christmas. The themes of watching and waiting are starkly very real for me this year. Scarily so. I'd love nothing better than to hibernate from here on in!
But, I'm a church musician, who also works in a world where Christmas has more or less begun… I begin carol playing this coming weekend. The week after also sees some concentrated carol playing. Then, the week after that, I'm trying desperately not to think about it at all. I think I have one day free of Christmas Carols. I keep consoling myself with one fact. It's not as bad as when I was working in Christian bookselling, though. Honestly.
I think it's time to go horizontal again… I've come over all weak and feeble just thinking about it all!

An ELB is diverting traffic across 5 instances. One of the instances was unhealthy only for 20 minutes. What will happen
after 20 minutes when the instance becomes healthy?
ELB will never divert traffic back to the same instance
ELB will not automatically send traffic to the same instance. However, the user can configure to start sending traffic to the same instance
ELB starts sending traffic to the instance once it is healthy
ELB terminates the instance once it is unhealthy. Thus, the instance cannot be healthy after 10 minutes
AWS Elastic Load Balancing continuously checks the health of an instance. If one of the instances is unhealthy it stops
sending traffic to it and automatically reroutes the traffic to the remaining running EC2 instances. If the failed EC2 instance
is restored, Elastic Load Balancing will again start sending traffic to that instance.

Religion in ancient Rome
The rex Nemorensis (Latin, "king of Nemi" or "king of the Grove") was a priest of the goddess Diana at Aricia in Italy, by the shores of Lake Nemi, where she was known as Diana Nemorensis. The priesthood played a major role in the mythography of James George Frazer in The Golden Bough; his interpretation has exerted a lasting influence.
Ancient sources[edit]
The tale of the rex Nemorensis appears in a number of ancient sources. Ovid gives a poetic account of the priesthood of Nemi in his Fasti, Book 3, 271 (on the month of March), noting that the lake of Nemi was "sacred to antique religion", and that the priest who dwelt there "holds his reign by strong hands and fleet feet, and dies according to the example he set himself."[1] The Latin name of the priesthood is given by Suetonius: "He [Caligula] caused the rex Nemorensis, who had held his priesthood for many years, to be supplanted by a stronger adversary."[2] That same passage indicates that by the time of the early Principate, the custom of succession in the office by combat had become subject to outside control.
The Greek geographer Strabo also mentions the institution: "and in fact a barbaric, and Scythian, element predominates in the sacred usages, for the people set up as priest merely a run-away slave who has slain with his own hand the man previously consecrated to that office; accordingly the priest is always armed with a sword, looking around for the attacks, and ready to defend himself."[3]
Pausanias gives an etiological myth on the founding of the shrine:
|The Aricians tell a tale… that when Hippolytus (the son of Theseus) was killed, owing to the curses of Theseus, Asclepius raised him from the dead. On coming to life again he refused to forgive his father; rejecting his prayers, he went to the Aricians in Italy. There he became king and devoted a precinct to Artemis, where down to my time the prize for the victor in single combat was the priesthood of the goddess. The contest was open to no freeman, but only to slaves who had run away from their masters."[5]
In Roman mythology, Hippolytus was deified as the god Virbius; Artemis was the Greek name of the goddess identified with the Roman Diana. A possible allusion to the origins of the priesthood at Nemi is contained in Vergil's Aeneid, as Virgil places Hippolytus at the grove of Aricia.[6]
An alternative story has the worship of Diana at Nemi instituted by Orestes; the flight of the slave represents the flight of Orestes into exile.[7]
Ritual murder[edit]
Surviving lore concerning the rex Nemorensis indicates that this priest or king held a very uneasy position. Macaulay's quatrain on the institution of the rex Nemorensis states:
- Those trees in whose dim shadow
The ghastly priest doth reign
The priest who slew the slayer,
And shall himself be slain.
This is, in a nutshell, the surviving legend of the rex Nemorensis: the priesthood of Diana at Nemi was held by a person who obtained that honour by slaying the prior incumbent in a trial by combat, and who could remain at the post only so long as he successfully defended his position against all challengers. However, a successful candidate had first to test his mettle by plucking a golden bough from one of the trees in the sacred grove.
The human sacrifice conducted at Nemi was thought to be highly unusual by the ancients. Suetonius mentions it as an example of the moral failings of Caligula. Strabo calls it Scythian, implying that he found it barbaric. The violent character of this singular institution could barely be justified by reference to its great antiquity and mythological sanctity. The ancient sources also appear to concur that an escaped slave who seeks refuge in this uneasy office is likely to be a desperate man.[citation needed]
The Golden Bough[edit]
James George Frazer, in his seminal work The Golden Bough, argued that the tale of the priesthood of Nemi was an instance of a worldwide myth of a sacred king who must periodically die as part of a regular fertility rite.
In 1990, a radio programme entitled "The Priest of Nemi" was produced by Michael Bakewell and broadcast on BBC Radio 3. This programme was based on the 1990 book The Making of the Golden Bough by Robert Fraser, which was written to mark the centenary of the first edition of Frazer's book.

From R750 PPS
The Kogman & Keisie Guest Farm is nestled between the charming village of Montagu in the Klein Karoo and the mountains of Montagu Nature Reserve. Montagu is a favourite destination of many a traveller and is on Route 62, the well known meandering route between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. The name of the farm is derived from the dramatic, rock strewn, Cogmans Kloof Valley and the modest Keisie River that meets here.
We provide guests with luxury self-catering accommodation. The cottages are stylish and each of them is unique. We take pride in developing our farm and cottages into eco-friendly living space.
Kogman and Keisie is also a working farm with olive trees, goats and a small vineyard. We grow our own vegetables, pomegranates and lavender with a few well behaved farm chickens wondering about.
During the hot summer days, we cool down in the swimming pool or wait for the sun to make way for the unsurpassable Karoo night sky, to the whisper of the windmill turning in the lazy evening breeze.
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. ~ Kahlil Gibran

A REVIEW of bus services could help tackle unemployment in some of the borough's poorest areas.
Centro will be carrying out a consultation over plans to modernise its routes in north Solihull and east Birmingham.
Residents and local councillors are hoping it could link areas of high unemployment in north Solihull to job opportunities in the south.
Councillor David Jamieson said: "Unemployment in north Solihull is high so we are determined to connect people to jobs by public transport.
"We have been working with the NEC and Birmingham Airport to provide better transport services to them as they offer lots of job opportunities and we hope Centro can expand on this is the coming review."
Meanwhile in the rural east of the borough Meriden MP Caroline Spelman has urged locals to get on the bus after under-utilisation of services has seen many routes stopped altogether.
"We have to use it or lose it. If we don't, the service will disappear altogether."

...great to see some love for FF over here. We've done an interview with Stephen Morris of New Order and Joy Division about his work remixing and producing the band. Has he adopted the cruel methods of Martin Hannett in his dealings with FF's Gabe?
They were bloody great at Rough Trade
The remixes are fantastic too.
Top interview, he seems and affable chap.
Lots of love for everything involved in this here.

My name is Veggiewala and I'm a chocoholic. Obviously I'm not alone in this vice so I thought I'd share my absolute favorite chocolate treat with you. It's called brigadeiro (brig-a-day-ro). During my sophomore year of college, whenever I was seriously stressed-out, my roommate would make me this luscious Brazilian chocolate candy. The dense, silky, fudge-like truffle would instantly put a smile on my face – because when you are eating brigadeiro, it's almost impossible not to smile. While the recipe is pretty easy, it is also a bit labor intensive. The key to making it is to stir constantly for at least 15 minutes to get the right consistency (it should stick well to the back of a spoon). Your arm might get a bit sore but at least you know you are working off a tiny portion of the calories you are about to consume.
You will need:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. milk (whichever kind you have at home)
2-3 tbsp. of chocolate drinking powder (I tend to have Nestlé on hand)
Chocolate sprinkles and sweetened shredded coconut
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the butter, milk and chocolate drinking powder. Once you are sure there are no lumps, add the condensed milk and begin stirring. Keep stirring for about 15 minutes until you can start to see the bottom of the pan when you stir. Stirring is key so that it does not burn. Once it looks like you are done, pour the mixture into a very well greased baking pan. Let cool for 30 minutes to an hour until cool enough to handle.
Traditionally, at this stage, you would use well greased hands to roll the mixture into little balls and then roll them in chocolate sprinkles. I also like to roll mine in sweetened shredded coconut, though you can use anything you like (i.e. crushed nuts, cocoa powder, etc). But, if you don't want to go through all the trouble of presentation, just grab a spoon and dig in!

According to the original bullet journal folks what I'm about to show you don't count as collections but it's still what I call them.
"Sometimes you'll have notes and tasks that are related by a common theme or purpose. Rather than having all these related entries scattered across your Bullet Journal, simply create a Collection Module. Collection Modules, or Collections, are great for organizing specific lists (shopping list, reading lists etc), classes, and projects." Pulled from http://bulletjournal.com/collections/
My only theme is that these next ones can last thought the year potentially.
Here's a cute one! Too often there's a movie in theaters I want to see but know I won't get around to it. This page is for me to list them and them look for them on DVD later. Fun and simple.
I stream most of my shows after they air. This helps me re,ember where to go back to, helpful since I'll miss several episodes at a time.
Need to track housework? This is for tasks I don't do often (except I added sweep at the end and haven't used it). As you can see I have some deep cleaning to do.
These are my monthly bills. I've only listed them out though August. Each time they're paid I'll cross out a box with that color. I used to make countless spreadsheets for this. The bottom are gift subscriptions I've purchased, this reminds me when to cancel them as well.

When comparing C++ vs J, the Slant community recommends C++ for most people. In the question"What are the best (productivity-enhancing, well-designed, and concise, rather than just popular or time-tested) programming languages?" C++ is ranked 43rd while J is ranked 48th. The most important reason people chose C++ is:
C++ is a large language with an even larger community and following. It has libraries for every kind of task that is possible to do with C++
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Huge language supports most everything
C++ is a large language with an even larger community and following. It has libraries for every kind of task that is possible to do with C++
Pro Powerful memory management
Allows puting large arrays on the "heap" to avoid "stack overflow".
Pro Teaches fundamental OOP

Pro Excellent compiler optimization
Both open source compilers (such as Clang and GCC), and proprietary ones (like Intel's and Microsoft's) are very good at analyzing program flow and program optimization. This is mostly due to the widespread usage of C/C++ applications running everything from mobile/desktop/server Operating Systems, to search engines and webserver software, and the demand for performance.
Pro Teaches problem solving
The great STL is the most powerful Data Structure and Algorithms Library. It would benefit you very much in problem solving, your main main way to love programming. The code is much compact compared to Java and C#. No unnecessary classes are in your way; yet when you need classes they are available unlike C. The code runs very fast.
Pro Teaches low-level programming, but doesn't have as many pitfalls as C
Teaches data types, low-level program flow and the so common C-style syntax while not being as much of a pain as C itself.
Pro STD is often updated
The functionalities keep growing throughout the years. C++11 gave us a soft type of garbage collecting with the smart pointers.
Pro C code can be used in C++ code
Most C code will work as C++.
Pro Best way to understand algorithms
Pro Every function is an operator
3 classes of operators (verbs, adverbs, and conjunctions) with verbs the most basic function that take either 1 or 2 (infix) parameters. Operators allow function composition with a minimum of parentheses.
Pro Simpler Imperative language constructs as failback to functional programming
J also supports multiline functional definitions similar to BASIC/Pascal. Including error handling.
Pro Compiled language speed from interpreted language.
Each built in operator is a C/asm function, and special code further optimizes some operator combinations. Result is optimized C speed from quick parsing. Array orientation parses and compiles a function once, and applies it to all array items.
Pro 25 year old language, with core unchanged in last 10 years
Still actively developed, but most recent changes have been in libraries and IDE and platform support.
Language is considered "perfected"... though not quite.
Pro Language reference has simple one page index
Complete core programming functional tools allow writting programs and libraries without imports.
Pro No operator precedence rules
(... within each of the 3 operator classes) makes reading code easier. Very simple parsing rules.
Con Huge language gets in the way of learning
C++ is such an atrociously over-complicated language that its learning curve may get in the way of learning fundamentals. Learning C++ well is a ten-year project, and even experts are frequently surprised by the language.
Con Module system is not great
C++ uses the
#include mechanism provided by C. Which unfortunately is a poor way of accessing the API of a library. Some of the reasons why the module system is weak are:
Compile time scalability: The compiler must preprocess every header included in a file, and every header included in those headers. This process must be repeated for every translation unit in the program. As can be imagined, this doesn't scale very well. For each header added you are increasing the compilation time exponentially.
Fragile: modules included are treated as textual imports by the compiler. This causes all sorts of problems since they are subject to any macro definitions in the time of the inclusion. If any of these macro definitions collide with a name in the library it can break the library API .
Con Undefined behavior
Subtle errors can render the entire program "undefined" by the complicated C++ standard. The standard imposes no requirements in such cases. Thus C++ compiler writers are free to ignore the existence of such cases and Bad Things are prone to happen instead. Even experts can't reliably avoid undefined cases in C++, so how can beginners be expected to do so?
Con No two programmers can agree on which 10% subset of C++ to use
C++ is such a huge and complicated language, that programmers have to learn a disciplined subset of it to reliably get anything done. The problem is, no-one can agree on which subset to use and they can't understand each other.
Con Retains nearly all bad habits of C
Con Tough to learn as the first language
Many of the concepts are hard to grasp if you have no prior programming experience.
Con Bugs easily corrupt the memory you need to find them
You can usually get a core dump, but often the call stack gets completely overwritten. Compilers are not even consistent in how they map the binary objects to code.
Con Painfully slow compilation
Beginners need fast feedback
Con No reflection
C++ objects are frustratingly opaque. This makes debugging especially difficult, something beginners have to do a lot.
Con No way to locate definitions
No modules, just files, and no way to tell where anything came from.
Con Complicated types
Con Undefined behaviors and weak limited type safety
Undefined behavior in a program can cause unexpected results, making it hard to debug. With UB, program behavior may vary wildly depending on optimization settings. There are many cases that invoke UB, such as signed overflow, invalid dereferences, large integer shifts, uninitialized variables, etc. C++ allows for non-type safe operations such as logic errors, wild pointers, buffer overflow, etc. UB and type safety issues create a large number of bugs and security vulnerabilities.
Con Standard library missing important features
Con Arcane binding rules
Con Incomprehensible operator overloading resoution
Con Exceptions incompatible with C++ manual memory management
Con Duplicates C features in incompatible ways
Arrays, strings, pointers, etc. have both C and C++ versions. Sometimes the C++ versions are worse. This is more useless trivia beginners have to sort through.

Very Funny skit about Eating local- You must watch!
Submitted by judy on March 24, 2012 - 9:33am
You all know that I am ALL about eating local and organic, but this skit from Portlandia is over the top !
Applebee's - There's no place like the Neighborhood!
Submitted by judy on March 22, 2012 - 10:11pm
I was talking with a friend the other day about her struggle finding a low calorie option at Applebee's. She said she ordered a salad only to find out it had "a ton" of Calories. She didn't mention which salad. It could've been the Bruschetta Chicken Salad with a whopping 1110 Calories, 66 grams of fat and 3120 mg of sodium. Actually it could've been any of their regular sized salads (Fiesta Chicken Chopped salad, Grilled Chicken Caesar, Grilled Steak Caesar or the Grilled Shrimp N Spinach Salad) as they are ALL over 800 Calories! So the restaurant we've added today is for my friend. We recommend the Asiago Peppercorn Steak with Seasonal Vegetables and Herb Potatoes. This pick is only 380 Calories (a third of the Calories in Bruschetta Chicken Salad and half the sodium). Check out our other picks here.
A low sodium pick for our West Coast Friends - CPK
Submitted by judy on March 21, 2012 - 9:10pm
California Pizza Kitchen, although started in California, is now all over the US and also in many other countries. They have a gluten free menu and a vegetarian and vegan menu. Even though it's a pizza joint, we are most excited about some of their non-pizza food! We did pick one pizza - the Tricolor Salad Pizza for our vegetarian followers. Next time you are there, try their Korean BBQ Steak Tacos. They meet our requirements for the 1500 Calorie diet and low sodium. Low sodium? Yep! They have 440 Calories and 369 mg sodium.
Attention my Gluten Free Friends - Chipotle is for you!
Submitted by judy on March 17, 2012 - 7:12pm
We have just added Chipotle and all but 2 of our picks are gluten free! The bonus is the food is also good for you! Chipotle has been ranked one of the top 10 Healthiest Fast Food Restaurants by Health.com. One of the appeals of Chipotle is that it is a buffet style, which gives you a lot of control over your meal. One of the down falls for dieters is that it is a buffet style, which means you need a lot of control over your meal. So keep that in mind when choosing a restaurant. But aside from having a lot of great gluten free and low carb options, the food is fresh and often local.
By Popular Vote: We've added The Cheesecake Factory
Submitted by judy on March 15, 2012 - 9:39pm
With over 200 items on their menu (50 of which are desserts), it's no wonder the Cheesecake Factory has been ranked America's Most Popular Chain restaurant for the second year in a row. With 200 items on the menu (50 of which are desserts), it's also the reason why we procrastinated on narrowing down our healthy picks for this restaurant! However, due to enormous portion sizes, they really made our job easier. Sorry my J-town folks, the lemon ricotta pancakes with 920 Calories and 112 gms of Carbohydrates, didn't make the cut!
Hilarious Paula Deen skit on SNL
Submitted by judy on March 12, 2012 - 7:45pm
In this week's SNL weekend update, Seth Meyer's interviewed "Paula Deen" played by Kristin Wiig. They talked about her new diagnosis of "the sugars" and her recent lawsuit. When asked if she said the "N" word, she asked - "you mean, Nutrition?". I've been to Paula Deen's restaurant in Savannah, but I didn't get a chance to see Paula lick butter or rub butter on a chicken wing!
Panera Bread - Just Added!
Submitted by judy on March 11, 2012 - 10:00pm
For all you Panera Bread fans... We just added Panera Bread to our rated restaurants. We have chosen a variety of low Calorie, vegetarian, low sodium, low carb and gluten free options. Wait.. what? Low Carb? Gluten Free? At Panera BREAD?? Yup! They make some fantastic soups and salads. They were actually awarded a #1 ranking for Best Salads and Top Rated Facilities (for chain restaurants with less than 5,000 outlets) by Zagat, the trusted restaurant review service, in its annual consumer-generated 2011 Fast-Food Survey.
MickyD's beats Toys r us at their own "game"
Submitted by judy on March 9, 2012 - 10:06pm
To follow up on my question on whether McDonald's should be teaching about healthy eating, I found some fun facts about the Happy Meal on a recent ifood.tv blog. You may have asked "what's the big deal about the Happy Meal?" or "who cares about a few ads for the Happy Meal?". Here"s the deal....The Happy Meal alone represents $3 Billion in annual sales. This is more than the TOTAL sales revenue from BK, Wendy's, Arby's, DQ, or I hop. So that one meal (sold to kids) represents more than all the food/meals sold at any of those restaurants. This is huge!
Should McDonald's be teaching kids how to eat healthy?
Submitted by judy on March 6, 2012 - 10:37am
Some might argue that McDonald's teaching kids to eat healthy would be like a rifle company teaching us about Vegetarianism. However, this Friday McDonald's Corp will unveil new advertising targeted at kids as part of their pledge to include a nutritional or physical activity message in all communication with children in 2012.
What weight loss pill?
Submitted by judy on February 19, 2012 - 12:37pm
I am often asked for my opinion on various diets and especially diet pills. Most diet pills are not considered safe long term and have a number of side effects. In addition, their effects only last while you are on them, leaving people with weight gain once they quit taking the pills. This story just printed on a new pill caught my attention due to its interesting side effect - memory loss!

I read online that almond milk is really healthy and a better alternative to cow's milk. So after delaying for many weeks, I decided to finally do it. It's really simple.
1 cup almonds
2 cups water
1. Soak the almonds overnight.
2. Drain the water, rinse and put them into the blender.
3. Put water and blend until they are in pulps.
4. Strain the milk with a nut bag, strainer, used tea bag, etc. I used the Malaysian nylon coffee strainer that the mamak store used for teh tarik.
5. Squeeze the pulp with your hands to get all the almond milk out.
6. Refrigerate and enjoy.
Some recipes put in vanilla extract and honey. But without sugar, the milk already tasted sweet.
In fact, I wanted to put in the vanilla extract when I saw the ingredients contains alcohol and stopped.
Unfortunately, I realised that I have a tree nut allergy that makes my throat tighten. The first time I had it this was when I took virgin coconut oil, 2 spoonfuls and the next day my throat tighten. At first, I thought it was acid reflux. When I stopped the coconut oil, that stopped as well.
And this time almond milk and again my throat tightened.
Though I don't have a strong reaction with this allergy, but it was enough to make me feel uncomfortable and feels as if someone was strangling me.
On another story, yesterday evening, me, hubby and mom went for dinner. We went to have Fish Head Noodles. We have heard good things about this but when we went few weeks ago, we were turned off by the word XO in the title. But my mom reassured us that they won't be putting any alcohol into the food as XO is expensive. So, we trusted my mom. The noodles turned out really good and delicious.
About 1 hour after the food, I began to sneeze uncontrollably while hubby spotted a front agnya headache. My sneezing was so bad, I began to suspect that a cold was coming. Immediately did foot soaking and ice pack. It helps and my body began to settle. We did massive clearing as my head was painful as well. But the nose was runny and I felt so tired from all the sneezing.
That night, I sweat profusely.
Both hubby and I suspected there were alcohol in the soup. And our subtle system were having a reaction to it. Liver fired up and causes my body to heat up and sneezing starts. Then as the body is trying to eliminate the alcohol bits, my body starts to sweat.
Will we do this again? Never.
Many people said once alcohol is cooked, the effects are no longer there, but left only the taste. Yeah right, tell it to our subtle system. It doesn't matter whether cook or not, it's still alcohol.
We should have checked with the waiter before ordering. That's our bad. And we should have suspected because in the menu, there were Guinness Stout Fried Chicken and Red Wine Baby Lamb Ribs.

Inspired by all the creative lip balm cozies, I decided to make my own. I'm not exactly sure how I ended up making a penguin, but I did... And I think it's adorable because it very looks like it was made by a beginner =D I am essentially a beginner still anyway, so it's okay. This was my first lipbalm cozy and my first thing this small with this many details.
All made with RHSS yarn and Caron Simply Soft. The orange is a red heart sport weight which is like RHSS but slightly different.
Have no idea what hook I used. D? E? F? Somewhere around there.

This solution has been deemed correct by the post author68Marshal D. Carper says:
Training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu will give you a high level of positional awareness and make you adept at outmaneuvering and controlling an attacker in a self-defense situation. If you were in a situation where you needed to wrestle a gun out of someone's hands, knowing BJJ will give you enough of an edge that you just might survive.
That said, don't be stupid.
No martial arts system—even all of them combined—will give you the Jason Bourne ability to consistently defeat a gun-wielding attacker without, you know, dying. To win a fight unarmed, you have to close the distance, finish a takedown, and secure a submission. To win a fight with a gun, you have to flex your pointer finger.
That's a horrifically dangerous advantage to overcome.
If you are ever in a situation where someone is threatening you with a gun—and these situations should be avoided at all costs—your first reaction should be an attempt to deescalate the situation. Talk calmly. Give up your wallet. And slowly create as much distance as possible. Thinking that you are fast enough and strong enough to beat a gun is a good way to get killed.

Finally, I know the keynote isn't broadcast live online, but does anyone know if any of the Apple retail stores broadcasts it? That would be cool to watch it live! Thanks again

- because i believe in choice. i believe that a woman should have the right to decide what happens to her body. i believe that it is no man's business what i do with my reproductive organs. mitt romney has clearly stated, over and over again, that he will overturn roe v wade. he will also take away access to birth control for thousands of women.
- because i believe in our right to vote. republicans are trying to take away people's rights to vote by using bogus claims of voter fraud to insist on voter ids. voter ids that many poor, ill, and/or elderly people simply cannot obtain.
- because i believe in supporting the poor and the disenfranchised.
- because i believe it should be a right to have access to healthcare, not a privilege. in nearly every other industrialized nation in the world, citizens have free or low-cost access to healthcare, no matter how much money they have or don't have. mitt romney will repeal the affordable care act (which is nearly identical to his own healthcare plan that he started in massachusettes) on his first day in office. millions will lose health insurance coverage. millions more will be unable to get coverage due to pre-existing conditions. this is unacceptable.
- because i support planned parenthood. i support a woman's right to be able to go to a clinic and receive free or low-cost preventative care for their specific, delicate needs. men do not understand this. mitt romney does not understand this. mitt romney will de-fund planned parenthood.
- because i support big bird. and cookie monster, oscar the grouch, and all the other wonderful sesame street characters. mitt romney will cut funding to pbs. i grew up on pbs. i want the same for my children.
- because i believe our veterans deserve healthcare, and (perhaps more importantly) mental health services.
- because i believe no one should have to live in fear just because of who they love. president obama signed the matthew shepherd and james byrd, jr hate crimes prevention act, which makes it a crime to commit a violent act against a person who is gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender.
- because i believe in stem cell research.
- because i think that states are simply incapable of handling large-scale natural disasters on their own. mitt romney believes that fema should be disolved and that states should be left to clean up their own messes. i can tell you, after seeing first-hand the destruction and disruption caused by hurricane sandy, new york and new jersey just cannot handle that.
- because i support the dream act. what would this country be today if our ancestors hadn't come here by boat? surely not all of them did it "legally." mitt romney would overturn the dream act.
- because it's 2012, not 1952.
- because i believe i should make as much as my male counterparts. president obama's first piece of legislation was the lily ledbetter fair pay act. mitt romney and paul ryan voted against it.
- because i believe people should have the right to love - and marry - whomever they want. i support marriage equality for my lgbt friends. mitt romney believes that marriage is between a man and a woman. end of story.
- because i believe that people shouldn't have to hide who they are. president obama repealed don't ask, don't tell, allowing thousands of lgbt military members to come out and no longer be afraid of being discharged from service - a service they chose to join.
- because i am the 47%. mitt romney says i'm lazy. mitt romney doesn't give a shit about me - it's not his job to.

I kind of went insane on my husband (he was the only one around!) this morning about how I don't want Mitt Romney telling my daughter what to do with her ladybits.

Love this!!! We are expecting our first little girl in January and I want her to have all say when it comes to her lady business! I can't fathom mothers of little girls rallying for Mitt. It blows my mind!!!

2016 Sports PR Summit: Key Takeaways/
Last week, senior PR executives from across the sports world gathered together in New York City at the Players' Tribune Headquarters for the 4th annual Sports PR Summit to connect, share best practices, and participate in high-level discussions about the issues and trends shaping our industry.
With a stellar lineup of speakers representing ownership, current and retired athletes, PR brass from every league, and top brand/agency professionals, the discussions addressed the impact of what we do from a variety of perspectives.
For those who didn't attend, the crowd on site contributed enough material via Twitter to make #SPORTSPRSUMMIT a trending topic (all of it is worth a scan) and event organizers published a full recap of each presentation here.
Throughout the featured conversations and panel discussions, there were also some consistent themes and overarching takeaways worthy of note:
Storytelling drives PR success.
As PR continues to evolve, the success of any campaign is not based on the tools or channels we use to communicate, but on the strength of our storytelling. In other words, the discussion is less about the reasons why we should be incorporating Snapchat, Instagram or any other tools into a campaign, and more about how we use these platforms to tell great stories.
Athletes are becoming more strategic when it comes to their use of digital media.
While NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon admits to not understanding why he would want to send "a mass text to the world" in the early days of Twitter, Gordon and the other participating athletes all recognized the importance of engaging with a purpose and being thoughtful about the things they share. They also see the power in authenticity and the positive impact their personal stories, struggles and insights into their real lives, can make both for the fans and for themselves.
Social issues are becoming more important to sports fans.
Miami Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross said it best: "The public is looking to sports to deal with social issues, which has never been the case before." On issues from gender equity and racial discrimination to mental illness and more, sports can play a role in driving social change. Athletes too, better recognize their influence, and are increasingly looking for ways to leverage it for good. As PR practitioners, this shouldn't be overlooked as a strategic component. We not only have the ability to help drive awareness for these important issues, but at the same time, tell stories fans care about.
Inaccuracy in reporting remains a frustration.
In the age of real-time reporting and the media's race to get news out quickly, PR professionals continue to deal with issues of inaccuracy, incomplete facts, and the problems/aftermath these elements create. In a profession where a core function is to service the press with information and facts, major gaps in reporting occur when journalists do not engage with PR people. "If you're going to write about us, check your facts with us," said NBA Executive VP of Communications Mike Bass, a comment that prompted a nod of agreement from nearly every person in the room. Athletes are equally frustrated. Said former NBA player Larry Sanders, "When there is no communication, there is imagination."
Twitter still rules, for now.
While only a small portion of the population is on Twitter, nearly every member of the media IS. That means Twitter is still the epicenter of breaking news and story proliferation. It's where both truth and misinformation spread like wildfire. To that end, monitoring Twitter and staying on top of what's being said is crucial. Twitter is THE early warning system.
Women are still underrepresented at the top.
While women make up 63% of Public Relations specialists in America, the majority of executives at the top are predominantly male. In sports, the situation is similar. While the room was well populated with women, the heads of PR for all the major leagues today are all male. What was evident, however, was their awareness and acknowledgement that more work needs to be done and that sports can lead the way. Said the LPGA's Kraig Kann, "We have an obligation to grow the next generation of female leaders."
Sports PR pros benefit from networking with one another.
While we all know of one another and are connected via social media, there are few opportunities to interact with one another face-to-face. Having so many senior sports PR professionals in one room for a day of high-level discussion, networking and exchanging of ideas, is rare and valuable.
A big thanks to Sports PR Summit Founder Brian Berger and his team for delivering another stellar event. Next up, the 2016 Sports PR Summit Social Media Workshop on Wednesday, July 20 at the Twitter Headquarters in San Francisco. For more information, click here.
