Indigenous advisor calls Tony Abbott's comments about settlement of Australia silly

Tony Abbott's chief indigenous adviser has described as ''silly'' the Prime Minister's comment that Australia was ''scarcely settled'' before British colonisation.

The chairman of the Prime Minister's indigenous advisory council, Warren Mundine, was in the audience at a Melbourne conference on Thursday night and raised his eyebrows when Mr Abbott made the comment in response to a question about foreign investment.

''Our country is unimaginable without foreign investment,'' Mr Abbott said. ''I guess our country owes its existence to a form of foreign investment by the British government in the then unsettled or, um, scarcely settled, Great South Land.''

Mr Mundine said it was ''a silly thing to say. I just thought it was a bizarre comment.''

Mr Abbott has said he wants to be a ''Prime Minister for Aboriginal Affairs'' and wants to make a ''new engagement'' with indigenous people one of the hallmarks of his government.

Mr Mundine praised Mr Abbott's commitment to improving the lives of indigenous Australians, but added ''we just need to do a bit more education, within the government, on this area.

''There's a few things we still have to work on,'' Mr Mundine commented. ''I know his heart is in the right place,'' but Mr Abbott was sometimes guilty of ''rambling on'', he said.

''If I was him I would have said that the nation was built on foreign investment since 1788 and left it there. We all know Australia was full of people living here when the British arrived.''

Labor senator Nova Peris, the first indigenous woman to be elected to Federal Parliament, said Mr Abbott's comments were ''highly offensive, dismissive of indigenous peoples and simply incorrect''.

''British settlement was not foreign investment. It was occupation,'' Senator Peris said.

Senator Peris, the deputy chairwoman of the parliamentary committee on constitutional recognition of indigenous Australians, said the Prime Minister's comments had set back efforts to recognise the first Australians in the nation's founding document. Senator Peris said she wanted Australians to celebrate ''50,000 years of our nation's history, not just the last 226 years''.

Megan Davis, the director of the Indigenous Law Centre at the University of NSW described Mr Abbott's comments as ''unfortunate and insensitive''.

''I am not sure 'colonialism' is an appropriate analogy for 'foreign investment' nor is 'foreign investment' the most correct way to describe the motives of the British government in 1788,'' Professor Davis said.

''This may be an opportunity to urge those Australians who remain confused about whether Australia was 'settled' or 'scarcely settled' to read the High Court's decision in Mabo (No. 2) or Bill Gammage's book The Greatest Estate on Earth, which won the 2012 Prime Minister's Literary Award for best Australian History,'' she said.

Former Australian student arrested over alleged Indonesian cyanide murder

Jakarta: A young Indonesian woman has been arrested over the suspected poisoning murder of her friend with whom she studied in Australia.

Wayan Mirna Salihin, 27, died in Jakarta earlier this month after having an iced coffee with her friends - known as Jessica Kumala and Hani.

It is believed her drink was laced with cyanide.

Following weeks of investigations, Jakarta police arrested Jessica Kumala on Saturday morning and named her as a suspect.

Jakarta Police Chief Detective Krishna Murti said they have gathered around 20 witness statements, including evidence from experts, and have also conducted a re-enactment.

"Jessica's statement is highly inconsistent with the facts we have gathered," Detective Krishna Murti told reporters.

"We will confirm whether her statement as a suspect is still consistent with her one as a witness or if she will give another statement."

It comes after Jakarta officers approached Australian Federal Police (AFP) earlier this month to look into the relationship between Mirna and the friends during their time studying together, reportedly at Sydney's Billy Blue College of Design and Swinburne University of Technology.

Jessica Kumala continued to work in Australia after her graduation in 2008, moving back to Indonesia in December last year.

Jessica Kumala, who denies involvement in Ms Mirna Salihin's death, was the one who ordered the Vietnamese iced coffee that allegedly killed the 27-year-old, police say.

Ms Mirna Salihin took only a sip of the coffee and complained it tasted bad, before she collapsed and began convulsing, and was confirmed dead a short time later in hospital.

It is understood AFP is considering the request by Jakarta police for assistance.

Robert Ellis trial: wife breaks down in court as graphic details are revealed

Jakarta: The wife of an Australian man whose body was dumped next to a Bali rice field sobbed as prosecutors graphically outlined how she plotted to have her cheating husband killed.

Julaikah Noor Ellis, her two housemaids and three hitmen are all facing charges of premeditated murder over the death of 60-year-old Australian businessman Robert Kelvin Ellis. The charges carry the death penalty.

Another two alleged hitmen have recently been apprehended by police but their cases are not yet ready to go to trial.

The Denpasar District Court heard Mrs Ellis asked her maid's boyfriend to find people to "take care of Mr Bob", whom she said deprived her financially and sexually.

She claimed Mr Ellis had multiple affairs, cut her salary and did not consult her on how he spent their money.

Mr Ellis and his wife were involved in several ventures including a hotel complex, a dive business and a telecommunications company.

Mr Ellis had his throat slashed in front of the maid's kitchen at Emerald Villas, their luxury home in Sanur, on October 19 last year.

Prosecutor Made Dipa Umbara said Mrs Ellis agreed to pay her two maids and five hitmen a total fee of 150 million rupiah ($14,220) for their involvement in the murder of her husband of 25 years.

"They discussed the technical aspect of the murder. Noor (said) not to do it in a sadistic or bloody fashion, just to suffocate Mr Ellis with a pillow so he can't breathe," Mr Umbara said.

As a result a contracted hitman known as Marten and his four accomplices allegedly abandoned the pipes and wooden log they had prepared for the hit.

Mrs Ellis allegedly handed the five men a pillow, a towel and a black bag to cover the victim's head and ordered them to hide in the maid's kitchen.

The court heard Mrs Ellis instructed her maids to keep the dog, Sam, at the back of the villa so he would not bark and arouse suspicion.

Mr Umbara said when Mr Ellis arrived home at about 6.30pm, his wife shouted "Mr Bob is here!"

The five men allegedly grabbed him and tackled him to the floor and one man allegedly slit his throat with a kitchen knife.

Mrs Ellis cried and sobbed throughout the reading of her 13 page indictment.

The trial will hear from the defence next week.

Keyword Research

Keyword research is fundamental to website design and any search engine marketing activity – whether SEO, pay-per-click or social media marketing.

Keywords are the words that people put into the search engines in order to find the particular they need, and while the search engines are continually updating the way that they manage this process and present the results, keyword research is still crucial to defining the best means of competing on-line within your overall digital marketing strategy.

At Snap Marketing, keyword research is driven by the product positioning process to ensure relevancy of keyword selection to match the product/service offered and the long term marketing strategy.

Often, in this part of a project we find niches that our clients can successfully exploit with minimum competition, and sometimes this also reveals a change of name for their product, service or indeed brand.

Dutch Soccer Drills
Book by Richard Kentwell (Editor)

Review by Eric Blommer

This work contains 180 drills for teaching the various aspects of soccer. It lists the drills one per page arranged by topic. Each drill has a Title, Objective, Number of Players, Area, Time, Equipment, Diagram, Organization, Instructions, Coaching Points and Variations. Since the drills are presented by topic it is easy to decide on the theme for your practice and then pick a selection of drills to work that theme.

The drills are well presented although plagued by numerous typographical errors. The drills are more elaborate than what you find in a lot of coaching books. They are really geared towards teaching patterns of play in addition to the basic skills that the chapter is emphasizing. I feel this is an excellent approach since the only reason to teach a specific technique is if it is useful for some tactical purpose. I would recommend this book mostly for coaches of players 12 and older.

Great site, very erotic

When I was 21, I had this great girlfriend who I had just met and we'd being going out for about a month. Casey also had a girlfriend (non-sexual) called Kim, who she had been friends with since they were kids, and living in student accomodation. We would sometimes end up in bed together after a long night out and sleep semi-clothed until midday. No fooling around, just snuggling and sleeping in.

This particular night, both the girls decided to stay at my place, and we stripped down to knickers and a T-shirt and proceeded to crash out in bed with myself in the middle on my back and each resting their head on my chest. (They would often snuggle each other with me on one side) We sort of dozed off semi-conscious and I remember each had a thigh resting on mine which for obvious reasons gave me an instant hard on. Lying there with my heart pounding, I didn't want to wreck the relationship with my new girlfriend by trying it on on both, but decided to very gently have a quiet feel down the small of their backs and into their panty lines. I finally got up the courage and lifting their T-shirts slightly, slid each hand under their panty line to the top of their bum cracks. Neither moved, so I became a little bolder and moved slightly further down to where I was touching the start of their anus. At that moment, Casey moved and I thought 'whoops, caught out, I'm in for it now!,' but instead of waking and freaking out, she quietly sighed and pressed her mound hard against my thigh. I continued my hand movements further down her backside and to my delight felt her moistness rising from her vagina.

She didn't move much at all, and obviously turned on, thought about the same silent orgasm as I did. Knowing she was OK with this, I gently massaged her from behind while she mildly pulsated against me. She must have known I was dong it to Kim also, but obviously didn't care as long as this was not blatent. Having gone this far, I proceeded to try the same tactics with Kim, and went a little further into her panty line. The reaction here was quite different, and I nearly blew my load as she quietly reached behind herself and, putting her finger on mine, pressed my index finger onto her anus. I guess she wanted me to put my finger in her ass, so I quietly slid it in and she pressed firmly into my other thigh. Each must have known what the other was doing (sort of) but we were all so obviously horny the moment had taken over. From there, Casey and Kim each pretended to have their own somewhat private orgasm, but as Kim's hand reached over and squeezed Caseys butt cheek, I knew that we all knew something was going on that we all recognised, but were probably too embarrassed to admit. The rhythm got stronger as they quietly acknowledged each other, and me, the dumb fool still pretending to be half asleep so as not to wreck my new relationship.

The girls came almost in unison and I can still feel the softness of Casey's mound pressed against me and the stubble of Kims shaven moist pussy pressing through her panties, both their bodies tensing and relaxing, wetness on my fingers and thigh until they finally contracted at the moment of orgasm. After some time of calming down, and the girls finally falling asleep, I extracted myself from a sweaty soaked bed and pretended to go to the bathroom where I jerked my cock, I think only once, and came all over the floor in one of the most intense orgasms I have ever experienced. We're still friends, and no one has mentioned that night, I guess preferring to leave it to memory and a great time of fulfilled sexual desire.

linuxconf 1.34r2 changes log

linuxconf 1.34r2 changes log

previous versions: 1.34
Change log index

linuxconf-util: printfds

This is a new utility working like lsof. It prints the opened file and network sockets for one for all processes. For network TCP sockets, it prints the IP/ports settings.

Module accountbatch: preserving the update fields

The module allows you to selectively update account fields. You check/un-check the various fields you want to update (gecos, home, ...). Previously the setting had to be entered prior to run accountbatch. Now the setting is saved with the configuration.

Module dhcp

The module was enhanced to support the filename attribute needed for network booting.

Module diskquotaconf: --playcmd option

The --playcmd option is use to configure the kernel from a file produced by diskquotaconf (potentially written on another computer). Previously --playcmd needed a file name as an argument. Now it also accepts the - argument to mean "read from standard input".

Module mailconf: double bounce

The module let you configure sendmail doublebounce option. You can redirect double bounce to the destination you want, disable it or redirect to /dev/null.

Virtual email domains: vacation start/stop

The vdeliver utility performs the vacation tasks. It performs this tasks for a given user if the DB file exist and there is a vacation message (The DB file collects the address who have received the vacation message so far). Now the DB file may also contains a start and stop date for the vacation service. One may setup a vacation message in advance. Currently there is no user interface to handle this. The format in the file is simply a line

	#date: start_date end_date

The dates are encoded using international convention yyyy/mm/dd.

The old behavior is preserved (A db file without #date: means the vacation processing must be done).

x64 architecture

Minor details were changed to allow compilation and operation on an X64 (opteron,athlon64,...) computer. Note that you can install a 32 bits version of Linuxconf anyway.

Bug fixes

17th Southern Foodways Symposium

SFA 2014 Saturday-Sunday Recap from Southern Foodways on Vimeo.

SFA 2014: What We Learned from Southern Foodways on Vimeo.

17th Southern Foodways Symposium
October 23—26, 2014
Who is Welcome at the Welcome Table?

The seventeenth Southern Foodways Symposium will be held October 23-26, 2014, on the campus of the University of Mississippi and in and around the town of Oxford. Registration for ticket holders begins on Thursday at 3:00 p.m. and the main event kicks off with a communal dinner for all ticket holders that evening. The Symposium closes at noon on Sunday.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 desegregated places of public accommodation including restaurants. This year, SFA marks that anniversary. And then we take a deep dive into the present, focusing on who is welcome at the contemporary welcome table, asking questions about inclusion and exclusion in the modern South, while taking into account old and new imperatives like ethnicity, sexuality, diet, class, gender, and race.

Our year of programming began this summer in Jackson, Mississippi, as the city marked the 50th anniversary of Freedom Summer, when college students from across the nation streamed into the state, intent on breaking the back of white supremacy. In advance of our Summer Symposium, SFA collected oral histories from black-owned businesses, published a graduate-student project on the unintended consequences of integration, and produced a film about the violent resistance to the integration of the Woolworth’s lunch counter.

We have done the same sort of spadework before this fall Symposium, interviewing Lumbee Indians in eastern North Carolina and new immigrants in Houston, Texas. Over the course of this gathering, you will meet some of those oral history subjects. And you will have the opportunity, through a wide range of films, to come face to face with some of our region’s unsung heroes and heroines.

SFA has booked a robust roster of speakers, too. Stepping to the podium will be old friends like novelist Randall Kenan, who will chart the ethnic and cultural evolution of Crook’s Corner in Chapel Hill; new friends like Ta-Nehisi Coates, national correspondent for the Atlantic and author of a recent blockbuster cover article on reparations; and new voices like baritone Justin Hopkins, who will sing the part of Delta waiter Booker Wright in an oratorio conceived by Nolan Gasser, Bruce Levingston, and Kevin Young.

Guests will savor breakfasts of fried chicken bao, brunches of charred steak and broiled Gulf shrimp, lunches of shoepeg corn and fried green tomatoes, and dinners of frijoles charros and tortillas. We won’t stint on drink, either. Attendees will enjoy Tabasco-spiked bloody Marys, wine and cider from Virginia, gin from Mississippi, and rum from the Global South.

If this is not your first Symposium, you will note that we’ve added a day of programming and an extra evening meal. Those additions are reflected in the ticket price of $675, which is $80 higher than last year. Because we pay all speakers and chefs, the SFA Symposium will never be cheap. But please know this: We stage our events on a break-even basis. What you pay reflects the actual costs SFA incurs.

Host for the Symposium is the Southern Foodways Alliance, an institute of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi. Generous corporations, foundations, and individuals fund our work:

Blackberry Farm Taste of the South
Jim ’N Nick’s Bar-B-Q
McIlhenny Company, maker of Tabasco

'Intelligentsia needed to help Africa'

By Sapa | 2014-08-01 09:33:13.0

Former president Thabo Mbeki has suggested that African intelligentsia be brought back into crucial processes, as was the case in the 1960s and 70s, to help with the continent's "pressing strategic" problems.

"I would like to suggest that the African intelligentsia has a critically important role to play. I am suggesting that one of the matters we should discuss... is what should all of us do to help reinsert today's African intelligentsia... into the important processes we have convened to discuss," Mbeki said at a meeting of African leaders in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, on Thursday.

"The older among us will remember the period... when the African intelligentsia in our universities throughout Africa made critical and cogent interventions to help define Africa's response to her... issues."

Intelligentsia is a group of intellectuals or highly educated people who guide the political, artistic, or social development of their society.

Mbeki said continental policies were not being implemented by some governments, and part of the problem was a failure to manage diverse societies.

Some governments were not even aware of the existence of these policies, which were binding on all member states of the African Union.

Africa had an extensive set of policy positions which covered issues from politics to economy, war and peace, gender equality, justice, children's rights, education, culture, and international relations.

"I believe that this is very important for us here today because it provides at least a point of entry or even leverage to try to persuade our various countries and regions to implement these continentally-approved policies."

Mbeki said Africa's failure to manage its diverse societies had resulted in persistent social instability, civil war and violent conflicts, exclusion and inequality, a lack of cohesion, and an increased "brain drain".

Africa had various diverse cultures and languages, and success on the continent depended on a common national identity, a shared objective, and proper management of diversity.

"The real challenge we face is seriously and successfully to answer the strategic question -- what interventions should be made, and by whom, to ensure that 'sectional' identities, while they exist as legitimate identities informing the richness of the nation, do not threaten national cohesion and the development of a shared sense of common nationhood?" he asked.

Processes needed to be put in place to make unity attractive.

"All citizens of the nation state, regardless of their 'sectional' identities, should have, and feel that they have, the political possibility to help determine theirs and the destiny of their nation as a whole through inclusive and legitimate processes," said Mbeki.

"All socio-economic development initiatives affecting all elements of human development, especially those initiated, permitted or facilitated by the State, should be organised in such a manner that the resultant material benefits are shared by all citizens across their sectional identities."

He said all government activities should be organised and executed in a manner that confirmed the shared common political citizenship.

Africa continued to rise, its problems persisted, and intelligentsia was needed.

"I say this because I know from my own practical experience that in reality we have a significantly large pool of this intelligentsia, a vital repository of the 'brain power/intellectual resource' we need, which is deeply concerned exactly to help address Africa's pressing strategic challenges," Mbeki said.

I am not aware of when the app for the BB OS7 will be released, however I will pass along your concerns and suggestions.

Coach Nancy

10/10/11 6:33 A

Hey SP team! Just curious, when will the bb app be released for os7? Also, are there plans for improvements to the app and or the mobile site? I love your real site but I feel your app is severely lacking :( so much so.... Gasp. I've switched my tracking to another site. I'll never leave SP for the community! But hoping the app becomes more seamless and cleaner and the website is made more mobile friendly (even with the mobile site I still like the full site for the community section)

    Welcome to the EE team!!

    I’ve belonged to a lot of teams here on spark-- i really do believe that the Emotional Eaters team is one of the very best, it’s a great group of people- very supportive and encouraging-- and it is very refreshing to talk with people who "get" what you're going through!!

    Check out the main page of the EE team- there are “stickied” topics you may be interested in to get involved- a buddy thread, a place to introduce yourself, weigh-in challenge, a birthday post.

    Spark has a lot of great tools, and you will learn which ones work best for you. The best tools are the people tho, always willing to lend a hand, an ear, or a shoulder. I’ve been here for over a year now, and I still am overwhelmed, every day, by the kindness and goodness of others on this team!! That has made a world of difference for me. I hope you have the same success!

    ~~best of luck to you on all of your goals!!!

    Be sure to ask questions if you have them ... someone will likely have the answer. Use the tools SparkPeople provides. They are invaluable. If you feel an emotional eating attack coming on, come to the boards first. Write about it instead of pushing the feelings away with food. We're here for you!

I've been doing really well, I think.

I've been using the nutrition tracker, to a friggen T actually, and my calorie intake is far less than it used to be. When I created my account, I tracked my food completely honestly and some days I was hitting about 2,500 calories! No wonder I gained all this weight! I've been under my 1500 every day since I started a week ago, sometimes right at my min which is 1200! I definitely think the nutrition tracker helps a lot. It not only does it all for me in an easy way, but when I feel like cheating I haven't so far because I know I'll have to log it in there! For me, that's awesome.

I wish I could find the time to blog here everyday about my experiences and woes with all this, but between working out, working, spending time with DH and doing homework for classes, I am all over the place without a second to think about coming here to type every day! Luckily, I got my butt out of bed early today so I have time before work.

Last night was a real test of how motivated I am to get my body back. DH and I went to a bar after work for our friend's 21st birthday celebration. Being here in Germany, people are allowed to smoke in the bars. So it was a double whammy for me! Man, I had a HORRIBLE day at work, one I would normally be chain-smoking all night after! But I just chewed and sucked on my toothpicks and told myself I'm stronger than that. I did well! Then we got to the bar, all our friends were already wasted, or getting there, and all I got was a cranberry juice (they had no diet coke?!) and I didn't even feel the urge to smoke once!!! I will admit, though, it was kinda nice to be around the smell for a little while. I know that sounds crazy, and it felt it after too when I was driving home because my jacket STUNK!! I threw it in the wash first thing this morning because it was making me sick! I think I'm really going to stick with the whole not smoking thing!!!! YAY! Today is 9 days cigarette free!!

I was proud of myself also for not getting out of control drunk. I am very bad at saying no... Sigh. I like to drink and have a good time, but I like beer when I go to bars. It's cheaper, easier, faster... And has whopping amounts of calories!! Even a Mich Ultra (my choice of beer) has 90 calories!!!! And the ultra is supposed to mean "Ultra healthier" or something like that. Seriously?!!! NO THANK YOU!!!

All in all, this last week has really taught me a lot! About myself, about how badly I was treating my body, about how I got to where I am... But most of all, how much I really want to get back down to where I am comfortable and stay there!! I know I can do it!

    emoticon Stef, I'm really proud of you. It sounds like you are committed to this non-smoking and making healthier choices. Its good you are getting your body in shape. I'm sure the two of you are thinking of having children in the near future and its good to be smoke free before that time. Nothing worse than second hand smoke. I know how dedicated you are to any committment, I know you will continue on to your goal. Just remember, when you reach goal, the committment doesn't end there. People tell me it is harder to maintain and stay at goal than it is to get there. So keep working hard and you will do it.

Hi and Happy Saturday everyone! And, what a cold one it was this morning in Central Wisconsin when I got up! WOW! I opened the door to let the dogs outside to do their business, and.....
emoticon emoticonWhat is the temperature? emoticon emoticon
I think it even surprised them! There was frost on the car windshields and a definite, as they say, "nip in the air!" But what a big nip! I didn't look at the thermometer, but it had to be in the 20's! And, the same is in the forecast for this evening and tomorrow. So, I think it's time to find those sweaters and warmer coats again and get ready for the new season but, yet..........

I don't think I'm ready to look at that thermometer and those low readings and, I don't even think I have to! Just stepping outside tells it all!

But the emoticon is shining while the beautiful Fall emoticonleaves are blowing in the wind we're having as well today, but change is in air and everyone loves and needs a change now and then -- I just wish it was a little warmer one today! emoticon

I hope everyone has a great Saturday and, if you live in a cooler climate, put the chili pot on emoticon, bundle and snuggle up with someone you love emoticon and love the day!

    It was decidedly cooler here in New York City today. We woke up and the temperature was in the low '50s, and made it up to the low 60's by midday. I love this weather! After my daughter's soccer practice we had a big pot of Mexican chicken tortilla soup for dinner. Hurray fall!

    It is cold here in WNY. So wanted to sleep in this morning. The warm bed felt extra good. My cats were crying to come in this early AM and our boxer did not want to go out for her nature call. So it's time to wear warm sweaters and make home-made soup & home-made bread--plus I so enjoy sitting in front of the fireplace with a hot cup of green tea. Yes, it's autumn and harvest time...time to get ready for winter.

    Oh, geez, I wish we had four seasons. Here in Arizona we have two seasons, really Hot and kind of Cold. We have a little niceness in fall and spring but it doesn't last long. We are still in the 100's this weekend but expecting a cool down to 90s after Monday.
    Can't wait for the kind of cold so I can use my slow cooker. Love split pea and other beans soups.

    I woke up to the 40's. It's made it into the 50's now, but it's been raining all day. So, it is a good day to stay inside and watch a good movie.

    We were chilly this morning, also, but not quite as chilly as you! No frost yet! Just the same, I covered some plants and put others in the garage last night and will do the same tonight. I'm just not yet ready to give up on warm(er) weather!
    Enjoy your weekend!

    We've enjoyed a bit of cooler air in central Kansas but we will be back in the mid to upper 80's next week. Enjoy the weather and have a great weekend!

    I have split-pea soup in my slow-cooker now - YUM!

Thursday, September 27, 2012

It all began when i was in my 12th grade where i was just climbing down a flight of stairs and BAAM!!! I had a nasty fall ,I twisted my ankle pretty hard.I visited a GP immediately and i was put in a cast for 3 weeks.Since it was a crucial year at school the authorities were very rigid about medical leave,I had to start school with an unhealed ankle.There begins my struggle--The school had no elevators ,so i had to climb up 3 floors everyday with a huge bag on my shoulders .With constant trauma to my ankles it led to referral pains on my back ,neck .At one point of time
i began having whole body pains(excruciating)and i was bed ridden .I couldn't attend my school regularly.My teachers stared pressurizing me into coming despite giving them a detail picture of my health condition.I had another fall because my ankle was so weak ,it wasn't strong enough to bear such strain. Everything factored in, led to further deterioration in my health I could hardly move.E very doctor suggested my problem was psychological and not physical,none believed me,constantly visiting doctors put a huge toll on my mental state too-the pain ,lack of teachers support,no treatment.I was in a right state then.A family friend of ours suggested a yoga instructor who treated chronic back patients.She started giving me massages everyday which helped me get through the day.I would be in constant agony.My doctor visits continued.I din't get an answer, still waiting.....I gave my final exams with a lot of struggle ,but i couldn't miss them either as they were crucial.I was unable to sit through my exams still I was iron willed and saw it till the end.After my exams i was supposed to start preparing for my Chartered Accountancy exams ,i wouldn't even getup from my bed let alone attend classes.Family and friends would suggest doctors , i would diligently consult them to no vain.I had to wait out for six months by then my pain had come down to a point where i could go about my daily chores and even started my CA classes .I wasn't very regular too as my pain would aggravate with strain,so i took frequent breaks.I gave my exams too.My dad shifted bases to another city and i moved in with my mom and dad with the hope of finding a doctor who could solve my issue.My pain had come to a stage where i could go about my daily activities without glitches but any travel or sitting for a long while would end up in bed the next few days.Hence i didn't commit myself to any classes .My parents were very supportive ,they didn't mind me not continuing my studies .They believed it was just a temporary interlude and that i would spring back to my normal self in a short span.We all kept praying for a miracle.It was an everyday war with pain for me .Though my pain threshold is very high i would often be reduced to whimpers as i could no longer bear it .I stared getting very depressed and even thought of taking a plunge by ending my life.My mom was my support system,i would discuss every thought under the sun with her.She started counseling me why i shouldn't end my life and that i have a bright future ahead of me and so on...but when i was in pain i wouldn't listen to her whatsoever. i tried strangling myself once or twice but i didn't have the courage to do so.This phase was quiet a revelation for me,i could sit back and think how wrong i was in all ways before my fall.I was narrow minded and very shallow.So i started reforming myself in more ways than one.Since i was home i set about learning new things which i didn't get a chance to during my schooling,only then did i realize how trivial my thoughts and my goals in life were.I had a long wait of 2 years until i got a doctor who trusted me enough to diagnose and begin treatment.i'm still under treatment but i have a positive atitude towards life and i'm convinced i have great heights to go.Years of ill health has led me to pile on punds .i'm 40 pounds heavier so i have decided to embark on a journey to weight loss and a healthy life .This post is mainly for those who are suffering from crippling diseases,patience is the main ingredient to overcome this situation.I have decided to blog everyday about my exercise and diet and treatment.CHOP!!CHOP!!

Week One is complete and so...

Monday, May 20, 2013

I started the Spark Solution and while I have not followed the meal plan completely I have enjoyed several of the recipes and tried a few new things.
• What made you decide to try The Spark Solution Program?

• Have you seen or felt any results in this first week? So, I feel thinner. Yay. My pants are just a bit looser feeling. The scales haven't shown but a pound difference but I feel it.

• What do you like the most about the program? I love all the inspirational comments and little tidbits about health and nutrition sprinkled throughout.

• What was your favorite meal from this week? My favorite meal is the One Dish Southwestern Chicken and Rice. So filling and my husband likes it too. Great for leftovers. We also really liked the Panko Breaded Fish.

• Which Insider Tip motivated you the most this week? That little things I do can really add up. Being vertical vs. horizontal along with just plain moving.

• What is your goal is for next week? To be more consistent with my exercise and focus on doing things that I really like.

• Include a link to the book’s website: www.sparkpeople.com/sparksolu

Anyway...even if you have been sparking for some time. There are so many good quotes, ideas and recipes that I know I will be looking at this book for a long time.

Starting a calorie streak-Day 1

Tuesday, July 31, 2007

My weight loss journey started at 184 pounds and will end January 18, 2008 at 130 pounds, this is day 11.

So far I have gone 9 1/2 days before I broke down and ate 2 pieces of homemade, fresh peach pie with lowfat icecream and one bowl of lowfat icecream with leftover peach filling. (But what a way to fall off the wagon!!!)

I can't eat sugar or wheat flour because these things make me feel awful after eating them. My goal is to be fit and healthy and not feel awful.

My friends on the Lets Stay on Track II thread have started a 10 day calorie streak starting Aug 1st. I will be joining them and eating between 1000 and 1400 calories per day, and not eating any sugar or wheat flour. (Did I mention that the girls on that thread are wonderful???)

Here we go...Onwards and Downwards!!!

Inside Jack White’s Scorching ‘Unstaged’ Show in New York

A full report from Gary Oldman-directed gig at Webster Hall

“We’re all passengers here,” 54-year-old actor-filmmaker Gary Oldman said Friday night, preparing to direct Jack White as part of American Express’ Unstaged series at New York City’s Webster Hall. Oldman, handpicked for the job by the former White Stripes frontman (and fellow eccentric) himself, was seated in a production trailer just outside the theater, facing a pulsating tableau of 13 live camera feeds from inside, each set to broadcast White’s every set-list-less whim to millions at 9 p.m. sharp. Though the stage design that evening would not abandon the carefully calibrated, newly adopted powder-blue palette White’s employed for the handful of live performances behind his just-released solo debut, Blunderbuss, Oldman hoped to add “classic” visual touches of his own by invoking sequences from Martin Scorcese’s The Last Waltz and early ’60s footage of Jimi Hendrix. No sweeping, jib-assisted, American Idol-like shots (“I can’t stand that”) or counter-dollied panoramas (he’d have only one handheld-carrying cameraman running the length of the stage’s lip), but a combined visual language that “tips its hat” to the past. Sound familiar? “You can’t reinvent the wheel,” Oldman explained.”It’s a rock show.”

And so it was. As the room filled up with lifers on the floor and various strains of celebrity glitterati up top in the VIP balcony (Jude Law! The Strokes’ Nick Valensi! Jim Carrey! Jim Carrey’s daughter!), garage-goth trio the Black Belles sped through a suitably crunchy set of perfunctory, no-nonsense, wham-bam ruckus, huddled together in fishnets and heels amidst the sheet-covered morass of headlining gear that awaited. As they finished, Jack’s army of suit-and-fedora-clad roadies cleaned up for showtime, uncovering a gleaming, spare-but-symmetrical, all-vintage setup that looked to be cribbed straight from a mid-’60s television studio. As has been publicized since their joint debut on SNL and at SXSW earlier this year, White is currently touring with alternating, gender-specific bands: the all-female Peacocks and the all-male Los Buzzardos, two more expressions/manipulations of the boy-girl dichotomy that’s become one of White’s defining obsessions since go. And though Oldman claimed his collaborator would be choosing his backing band every morning over breakfast, both were on hand at Webster Hall, their very different additions to the mix separated by a brief intermission.

As the feed went live, White wasted no time lunging into an ice-cold rendition of the White Stripes’ “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground,” his former wife and bandmate’s absence felt almost immediately. This evening would mark the first time most had seen White perform these songs without Meg at his side, and to hear them buttressed by a pair of more technically gifted drummers was to experience them in a much different, far less visceral way. Whether it was barefooted Peacocks drummer Carla Azar (also of Autolux) or Los Buzzardos’ bruiser Daru Jones, the minimal yet primal rattle that galvanized much of his band’s early work (and certainly Meg’s drumming) was gone. In its stead was a host of fuller, richer, session band revisions that made use of strings, pedal steel, mandolin and organ. And while those embellishments were particularly effective for those Blunderbuss highlights penned with them in mind, (the irascible “Freedom at 21″ and “Trash Tongue Talker” in particular), the buzz of a White Stripes song on this night would rely on White’s still herculean guitar work: No matter how hard any of those new drummers might hit, he looked very much alone in his ongoing fight with his instrument.

Jack White / Photo by WireImage via American Express Unstaged Concert Series

In fact, much of the evening’s odd electricity came courtesy of the room. In the time that’s passed since the White Stripes’ dissolution, White has emerged as perhaps the world’s brightest rock star, a personality whose mania and magnetism invites loads of psychoanalysis. And though his rapport with his new bandmates felt forced by comparison, he did send a shout-out to someone in the crowd that somehow resonated: Jay-Z, who snuck into the VIP area in a “Billionaire” hoodie before eventually settling down in the sound booth for the show’s second half. After a brief intermission (during which we were assured by a young lady hoisting a placard around the stage that while Elvis had left the building, Jack had not), White peppered the Dead Weather’s “I Cut Like Buffalo” (a song whose ornery beat is ripe for freestyling) with snippets of Frank Ocean’s introductory salvo from Watch the Throne’s “No Church in the Wild.”

And as far as a barometer for a moment’s heft, Jay’s reactions proved exceedingly accurate: howling during the crispy opening chords of “Sixteen Saltines,” staring blankly during the “Hotel Yorba” hoedown, and opting to break the “No Video, No Photo” rule to capture some images with his iPhone during the throb of “Seven Nation Army,” an anthem whose words he knew just as well as the people down below, the very same who for just under four minutes, turned the room into a rippling, chanting swatch of soccer stadium. At that moment, we were all passengers.

Watch Justin Timberlake Dance Through the Saddest Hall of ‘Mirrors’ Ever

Two-part video recalls the saddest parts of 'The Notebook,' the tamest parts of 'Black Swan'

Justin Timberlake had a big day today (March 19). The suave “Suit & Tie” singer released his first studio album in seven years, the soon-to-be-twice-as-long 20/20 Experience; two bonus tracks from the newly dropped LP surfaced online; and the former ‘NSyncer just debuted an epic music video for second 20/20 single “Mirrors.”

The eight-and-a-half-minute clip — reportedly dedicated to Timberlake’s grandparents, William and Sadie — cleaves into two. Part one tells a decades-spanning love story, from two young people’s meet cute in a billiard hall to their life together as an elderly couple. The latter half focuses on JT himself, as he dances his way through a hall of mirrors, moping over a mysterious woman on the other side of the glass.

All in all, it’s an ambitious, touching, on-the-nose video that feels like two separate pieces glued together — a fitting reflection of “Mirrors.”

Smooth sailing for Longhorns

Smooth sailing for Longhorns
By Mike Finger - Express-News

AUSTIN — In the old days, John Chiles would accept any challenger. Before practice, after practice, on the way to lunch — he was up for any opportunity to show off in a footrace against a fellow member of the Texas Longhorns.

Now, though? On a second-ranked UT team that not only played at an all-time quick pace but also unleashed speed from almost every nook and cranny of the roster in a season-opening 59-20 victory over Louisiana-Monroe at Royal-Memorial Stadium on Saturday?

“I don’t race anymore,” Chiles said, smiling.

The Longhorns, it seems, are now content to save their sprinting exhibitions for Saturdays. Against the overmatched Warhawks, speed came from Jordan Shipley blowing past a cornerback for a perfectly thrown 78-yard touchdown pass from Colt McCoy. It came from catlike defenders racing to cover fumbles. It came from Chiles himself, scoring a touchdown in his first game as a full-time receiver.

And most impressively, it came from a blur of a redshirt freshman named D.J. Monroe, who returned a kickoff 89 yards on his first college play, then showed his blink-quick stuff at running back.

“Lightning,” UT receiver Dan Buckner said of Monroe. “That’s lightning right there.”

Monroe, a converted receiver who was a championship sprinter in high school, made his grand debut immediately after ULM cut the UT lead to 21-10 early in the second quarter. He fielded the kickoff at his own 11-yard line, made one quick shift, then made it into the end zone untouched, save for a measly fingertip the ULM kicker might have futilely grazed on him.

But Monroe said he wasn’t having flashbacks to his 100-meter race days.

“It’s totally different,” he said. “In the 100, you run in a straight line.”

As a running back, Monroe finished with 67 yards on nine carries. UT coaches said they’re considering expanding his role, which could eat into the time of starting tailback Vondrell McGee, who rushed 15 times for 78 yards but lost two fumbles.

McCoy, who completed 21 of 29 passes for 317 yards and two TDs, praised Monroe but was critical of his own performance, particularly an interception he threw in the first half.

“His standards are really high,” UT coach Mack Brown said.

Shipley caught eight passes for 180 yards, and Buckner added 62 yards on five catches. Freshman Garrett Gilbert made his UT debut by completing 4 of 5 passes for 46 yards and scoring on a 12-yard run.

But the opener was not without its unsettling moments. On the Longhorns’ first drive of the second half, starting right guard Michael Huey went down with a lower left leg injury and was carted off the field.

Another source for concern was UT’s defensive backfield, which was rocked before the game with the news that cornerback Deon Beasley and safety Christian Scott — both thought to be key members of the secondary — would not play in the opener because of unresolved NCAA academic eligibility issues (wide receiver Brandon Collins missed the game for the same reason). Their status for the rest of the season is uncertain.

Without Beasley and Scott, UT’s defensive backs were beaten a couple of times, most notably when Chykie Brown was burned on a 75-yard touchdown pass from ULM’s Trey Revell to Luther Ambrose early in the second quarter.

“Obviously, we have an awful lot to work on,” UT defensive coordinator Will Muschamp said.

Smooth sailing for Longhorns
