Belly fat – we all want less of it. But did you know that it may even be a problem for thin people, though they don't know it? And that some of it hides deep inside, around your inner organs, where it may pose a silent health threat if there's too much of it — no matter what size you wear?
It's true: There's more to belly fat than your size.
Where did it come from? What's it doing to you? And what can you do about it?
Before you go any further, this is not about fat phobia. Your body needs some fat. And it's not about judging yourself or anyone else.
Instead, it's about geography — where your fat is located — even if you can't see it.
Location, Location, Location
Not all fat is the same. "It behaves differently in different places," says Carol Shively, PhD, a pathology professor at Wake Forest School of Medicine. And its behavior is the key to what your fat is doing to you.
People store most of their fat in two ways:
- Just under the skin in the thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen. That's subcutaneous (under the skin) fat.
- Deeper inside, around the vital organs (heart, lungs, digestive tract, liver, etc.) in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. That's called "visceral" fat.
Subcutaneous fat is the fat we can see, and visceral fat is the fat we can't.
Though many people are self-conscious about the fat they can see, research shows that hidden fat — in people of any size — may pose the bigger threat.
Like Another Organ
Fat doesn't just sit idle. It acts like an organ that secretes substances, says Kristen Hairston, MD, who is assistant professor of endocrinology and metabolism at Wake Forest School of Medicine.
While visceral fat provides necessary cushioning around organs, Hairston says, it secretes "lots of nasty substances" that can be absorbed by the neighboring organs.
For instance, visceral fat cells release inflammatory compounds that can lead to insulin resistance and some cancers. Excess visceral fat is linked to greater risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and cancers of the breast, colon, and endometrium. (Read more…)
How Did I Get It?
Everyone has visceral fat — no matter what you weigh or what size you are. As you gain weight, you gain subcutaneous and visceral fat.
Where your body stores fat depends on your genes, lifestyle factors (such as stress and whether you get enough sleep), age, and sex.
Men under 40 tend to have a higher proportion of visceral fat to subcutaneous fat than women. Women store more visceral fat after menopause.
"Everyone is going to have fat in both places, but it's a concern for your health if it's gone over a certain threshold," Hairston tells WebMD.
In an obese person, the body can run out of safe places to store fat and begin storing it in and around the organs, such as the heart and the liver.
"Fatty liver disease was, until recently, very rare in nonalcoholics. But with obesity increasing, you have people whose fat depots are so full that the fat is deposited into the organs," Shively says. "Now there is much interest in fat being deposited around the heart, as well."
How Much Is Too Much?
CT scan or MRI is the most precise way to see where fat is stored. But there are simple – and free — calculations that can show how you might be storing your fat.
Most experts agree that, no matter what your weight, a waist circumference over 35 inches for a woman and over 40 for a man indicates that you may have unsafe levels of visceral fat.
Measuring your waist sounds simple enough. But to make sure you get it right, here are instructions from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute:
- Stand up. Exhale before you measure — do not suck in your breath.
- Wrap the tape measure around your middle. It should go across your navel.
- Make sure bottom of the tape measure is just above your hip bones. It does not go higher up, even if you're narrower there.
While you're at it, measure your hips, too. Waist-to-hip ratio also indicates fat distribution. According to the Western Journal of Medicine, a healthy ratio is up to 0.8 for women and up to 0.9 for men. The journal offers these guidelines for an accurate hip measurement:
- Stand up. Place the tape measure around your hips.
- Make sure the tape goes over the knobby protrusions of the hip bones.
To get your waist-to-hip ratio, divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement.
BMI, Pears, and Apples
What about BMI? It relates your height to your weight. But it doesn't show where we're storing our fat.
Having a "pear shape," with fatter hips and thighs, is considered safer than the "apple shape," which describes a wider waistline.
"What we're really pointing to with the apple versus pear is that if you have more abdominal fat, it's probably an indicator that you have more visceral fat," Hairston says.
Thin People, Too
Typically, if you are at a healthy weight, you'll have healthy levels of visceral fat, as well. But genes can predispose a person to being thin and still having a disproportionate amount of visceral fat.
Like overweight people with excess visceral fat, thin people with a genetic tendency to store visceral fat may have higher cholesterol and blood sugar due to insulin resistance.
"If a thin person is showing up with unusually high levels of cholesterol and blood sugar, it may be an indication that he or she is storing this kind of fat," says Tuomas Kilpeläinen, PhD, one of the researchers who helped identified that thin-on-the-outside, fatter-on-the-inside gene variation.
An inactive lifestyle can also lead thin people to store fat viscerally. A study at the British Medical Research Council showed that thin people who maintain their weight through diet alone rather than exercise are more likely to have unhealthy levels of visceral fat.
How Can I Control Visceral Fat?
There are four keys: exercise, diet, sleep, and stress management.
Exercise: Forget spot-reducing. There aren't any moves that specifically target visceral fat. As you lose weight, you lose all types of fat.
But vigorous aerobic exercise has been shown to trim subcutaneous and visceral fat, even fat stores in the liver linked to fatty liver disease. It's also proven to slow the build-up of visceral fat over the years.
In a Duke University study, 30 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity, done four times per week, reduced subcutaneous and visceral abdominal fat. Resistance training alone reduced only subcutaneous fat.
Cris Slentz, PhD, who worked on that study, defines "vigorous" as jogging for physically fit people and walking briskly at an incline for obese people who may risk injury by jogging. Workouts of the same intensity on stationary bikes and elliptical or rowing machines are also effective, Slentz says.
On the flip side, studies show that inactivity leads to greater gathering of visceral fat over time. A lifestyle that includes moderate activity – raising your heart rate for 30 minutes at least three times per week – significantly slows visceral fat gains.
"Rake leaves, walk, garden, go to Zumba, play soccer with your kids. It doesn't have to be in the gym," Hairston says. If you are not active now, check with your doctor or other health care provider before starting a new fitness program.
Diet: There is no diet that targets visceral fat alone. But when you lose weight, belly fat usually goes first.
A fiber-rich diet may also help. Hairston's research shows that people who eat 10 grams of soluble fiber per day, without any other diet changes, build up less visceral fat over time than others. That's two small apples, a cup of green peas, and a half-cup of pinto beans, for example.
"Even if you kept everything else the same but switched to a higher-fiber bread, you might be able to better maintain your weight over time," Hairston says.
Sleep: Too much or too little sleep also plays a role in the build-up of visceral fat. A study published in Sleep tracked adults' visceral fat over five years. People who slept five hours or less, or eight or more hours, per night gained more visceral fat than those who slept between six and seven hours per night. The study doesn't prove that sleep was the only difference, but it may have contributed to the visceral fat build-up.
Stress: Managing your stress matters. That includes chronic stress you face in your personal life, and societal stresses, such as discrimination. A study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology showed that African-American and white women who reported significant experiences of discrimination had more visceral fat than women who hadn't had such experiences.
The stress of discrimination doesn't necessarily cause weight gain. But Shively, whose research focuses on social stress and visceral fat, tells WebMD that the body can respond to all types of social stress by storing fat viscerally.
"You can't control society, but you can modify your response to it," she says. Shively recommends getting social support, meditating, and exercising as ways to handle stress.
Keeping up with your friends may also help. A study published in Biological Psychiatry showed that men and women who got support from a best friend before a stress test made less cortisol, a stress hormone. And another study, published in the International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine, showed that women who pray or meditate have healthier levels of cortisol than those who don't meditate.
But you only have so much time, right? "If you could only afford the time to do one of these things, exercise probably has the most immediate benefits, because it hits both obesity and stress response," Shively says.

In 2011, I have graduated on Law Faculty of Masaryk University in Brno and in 2015 I have passed the Bar Exam. Lawyer work is very psychically demanding, so I love to combine it with working in MyRaw Café, especially in the kitchen where I always relax by making new recipes. Opening the café was a dream come true for me and it was a clear answer on how to pleasantly promote veganism.
The biggest inspiration to me has always been my mom, because she has always been one step forward. When she had been a vegetarian, I still ate meat, when she had become vegan, I became vegetarian and when she has become raw vegan, I became vegan.
Now we are both raw vegans. She passed on all of the findings and experiences she had, and I realized that I don't want to be a hypocrite by contributing to violence on animals, when I claim that I love animals. That is why I have become a vegan. I believe that even a small change can help turn the world towards better future, so why not be the change you want to see in the world?

Real Men Don't Want…"Just Sex"
They desire intimacy, connection and heart to heart communication.
No 1 Thing They Want is Respect!
They want to feel respected and honoured and know they are being heard. When they feel these things, they feel empowered as a man. When a man is feeling acknowledged, then nothing stops them from being the best they can be for themselves first and then for their partner.
And yeah, they still do want sex!
I know plenty of women that are looking for these qualities in their relationships too, so why is it that there is such disharmony in our relating?
I think there is too much demand on expectations loaded up with a ton of judgement and a lot of immature thinking. We aren't taught how to relate, how to behave and learn by social media and many other avenues, including porn.
What We All Want
It all starts with self, how would we like to be treated? Then actually treating your partner in the same way. They desire respect, so do we, so behave respectfully, be in integrity.
I read an article where it said that men would rather have their wives love them less than disrespect them and that research also showed according to S. Feldhahn, that respect is men's main concern.
I find the first part of that statement, completely ridiculous. Who really would want their partner to love them less for any reasons, whether it's to receive respect, acknowledgement and true communication.
We all are desiring love, intimacy and connection and without communication, we don't really gain any of these things for "real" relating.
Let's Get Real
So how about we put away our fear, show our true selves, including our vulnerability, be in our truth, even when it's tough and speak from our hearts. When we speak from our hearts, then "real" relating can occur and everyone wins!
We all want to be seen, heard & loved…
Ultimately, we all want to be in relationships that uplift, inspire, co-contribute and bring us joy and happiness.
2 Responses to Real Men Don't Want…"Just Sex"
"I find the first part of that statement, completely ridiculous. Who really would want their partner to love them less for any reasons…"
Pauline if you are a feminine woman you probably are seeking an experience of love and would prioritise love more highly than respect. But for masculine men respect is of extreme importance. When respected a man feels cherished. Then he can feel loved. Then he can cherish his partner.
In many modern western relationships both parties are competing for respect. One might think "why can't we both be respected equally" however that leads to either fights or ending up friends.

Two findings from a Small Firms Association survey showed that almost 70% of small firms offered credit terms of 30 days or less, yet only 8% were paid within that period. Secondly the survey found that 58% of the firms stated that more than half of their customers regularly paid late.

New study shows that people are willing to pay for a healthier Baltic Sea
People in the nine countries around the Baltic Sea attach great value to the Sea and are willing to pay in total 4 000 million Euros per year for an improved marine environment. This is shown in a new scientific study from the international research network BalticSTERN.
For the first time people in all nine Baltic Sea countries have been asked simultaneously what they would be willing to pay for reducing eutrophication in the Sea. A majority are willing to pay for reduced eutrophication effects, for example, improved water transparency, less algal blooms and less oxygen deficiency in deep-sea bottoms.
The average willingness to pay varies considerably across countries, ranging from 4 to 110 Euros per person and year. If income differences are considered the range generally decreases however. Swedes are willing to pay the most followed by Finns and Danes. The lowest willingness to pay is found in Russia, Lithuania and Latvia.
Every second respondent had experienced the effects of eutrophication, mostly in terms of water turbidity and algal blooms, and many are worried about the environmental state of the Baltic Sea. The study also shows that most people care about the Baltic Sea as a whole and not only about their local sea areas.
10 500 people participated in the survey, either through an internet questionnaire or in face-to-face interviews.
– This is a strong message to decision makers that there is public support for further actions to improve the state of the Sea. Doing too little will be costly, says Linus Hasselström, analyst at Enveco and scientific coordinator of the study in Sweden.
The results from the willingness to pay study will be included in a cost-benefit analysis to be published by the BalticSTERN research network during autumn 2012.

Our Riverwalk
by Julia Hayden
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the downtown Riverwalk is the heart of San Antonio – after the Alamo, it's the other completely unique tourist attraction. Water, trees and skinny riverbank gardens in the heart of a high-rise city – not many other places like it, and all hail Robert Hugman, the architect-genius who conceived the idea of a riverbank promenade, lined with shops and adorned with bridges and gardens.
Water and plenty of it drove the establishment of a settlement and missions here in the first place: an oasis in what was otherwise near enough to a desert. Early San Antonio looked to the water, measured out careful amounts through the acequias, the irrigation ditches. By the mid-19th century, travelers and visitors noted that many of the best houses had gardens that stretched down to the riverbanks, and there were little bathhouses and pavilions, so that residents could go swimming in the hot afternoons. Mills and breweries also sprouted up along the river, having a need for fresh water, or water-power . . . and now we are turning to the river again.
My daughter and I had business at the Pearl Brewery last week and we thought – oh, let's bring the dog, and explore the new part of the Riverwalk, which we had seen from previous excursions to the Farmer's Market and to La Gloria. So off we went, intending really to only go a few blocks – my daughter was only wearing light sandals, hardly the right footwear for a prolonged city trek. But once we got down to the level of the new walkway and gardens, there was just too much temptation to go a little farther, just around this bend, to see this bit of river, this view, the school of flying fish suspended underneath the IH-35 – hey, they light up those fish at night, how cool is that?
We walked past little bits of reconstructed marshland, banks covered in jasmine, the locks that lift the river-taxis up to the slightly higher river level, patchwork gardens of native plants, the tilework bench at the river-landing by the old convent school that is now a school of art and crafts, a fountain behind a classical-style arcade . . . the oldest VFW post in Texas – housed in an old white mansion which looks like it escaped from the set of Gone With the Wind, and bits of art, everywhere. There also seemed to be a lot of birds – not only the usual pigeons and ducks. Under one of the concrete bridges, swallows had built dozens of nests. There was a water-bird of some kind, standing so perfectly still, on a rock in the water-garden opposite the Museum of Art that at first we thought it was a sculpture itself. But it wasn't – and the hawk that roosted on top of a telephone pole near the AT&T building, leisurely dining on fresh-caught pigeon (we knew it was a pigeon because the feathers were falling down all around us) – that definitely wasn't a sculpture.
We walked all the way down to the Commerce Street bridge and back: it was marvelous, and well worth the cost. The downtown Riverwalk may belong to the tourists – but the new reach; that belongs to us locals.

Prof. Undeberg's course used historical examples of pharmacists during World War Two to teach students about pharmacy ethics. Case studies in the course included pharmacists in the French resistance, pharmacists in the Krakow Jewish ghetto in occupied Poland, an American pharmacist who served the needs of Japanese-Americans at domestic internment camps during the 1940s, and Victor Capesisus, the notorious "Pharmacist of Auschwitz," who, along with Dr. Josef Mengele, was instrumental in the Selektion process at the Nazi death camp.
Undeberg told the College of Pharmacy's alumni magazine that:
by studying in this area, there are numerous lessons to be learned that can be applied to pharmacy practice. One of the key implications is prompting students to consider: when you are practicing as a pharmacist what will you do to safeguard the vulnerable, the weary, the frightened, the weak, and the poor? During the WWII era, many brave pharmacists took patient care to an entirely different level. The privilege and challenge is figuring out ways to learn from them and honor their choices. "When Pharmacy Goes to War" is meant to show students the impact of history and how it can be applied, with them being the architects, to impact the future of patient care and the profession.
The Proud to be an Indiana Pharmacist activity book was originally developed in 2015 and then revised in 2016 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hook's Drug Store Museum. The book is distributed each August to visitor to Hook's, which is located at the Indiana State Fair.
Proud to be an Indiana Pharmacist uses activities such as coloring, drawing, mazes, matching games, and word finds to introduce children to several pharmacy-related topics. Children completing the activity book will learn about the pharmacy profession, including medicine safety and pharmacy careers, the three Indiana colleges of pharmacy (Purdue, Butler, and Manchester), Hook's Drug Store Museum, and pharmacy antiques featured at Hook's, including show globes, pill rollers, mortars and pestles, and other vintage pharmacy artifacts.
Over the 2015 and 2016 summers, Hook's distributed more than 1,500 copies of the activity book to help introduce and educate children about the profession of pharmacy. The creators of Proud to be an Indiana Pharmacist have not been able to keep the activity book in stock, and some elementary school teachers have requested copies for their classroom.

The Samsung Galaxy Gear is a great combination with the Note 3.
The attention to detail by Samsung is remarkable high in places. For example, the charging cradle piece, when it charges , it shows the battery level. It then turns the Gear screen off again. But it you lift Gear with charging cradle fitted, the battery icon and percentage appears again. Also the cradle has NFC for the first time setup.
But the charging cradle which clips over front and rear of the Galaxy Gear is also my pet hate. It would have been a lot nicer just to have a micro USB port built into the rear of the Gear. That way you wouldn't need the special piece of charging it.
And what happens if you were to lose it ?
I've also found battery life improves all the time. One week is easily possible if motion option is turned off, otherwise 2-3 days is realistic.

Earlier on this year I saw a Travel Supermarket competition being mentioned on twitter – Kids Capture the Colour. The basic gist is that parent bloggers enter, get sent a camera, get their kids to take some pics and then someone votes on some based on the colours or something. I admit I only entered on the off chance we'd get a free camera thinking we'd not get selected, but then we actually got one and Izzy thought it was great and promptly went around taking hundreds of pictures, most of which are blurred or feature me in my pyjamas which have now been deleted (of course).
There were some good ones (good being defined as "subject visible, not too blurry") in there though, so without further ado, here's a selection of Isabel's pictures from over the summer:
And, Isabel's official entries (minus white because she didn't really get any white things), which we're supposed to explain the stories behind but honestly for the vast majority I don't have a clue.
This one was taken at the Shrewsbury Steam Rally, but as she spent all day stropping and whinging, it's probably best I don't give you a backstory on it:
You can see other's entries to the competition on the #kidsctc hashtag.

Love the selfie! Haha :)
Some really good photos here for someone so young – are you sure that no adult assistance was given?
More luck than judgement, plus the camera has a fairly good stabilisation thing. She is a few weeks off 4 though – not exactly a baby any more :)
The bunny one is really good! A lot of these are, but the bunny capture is my fave. That's a pretty cool contest idea. :) What kind of camera was it?
I can confirm that having seen the speed and agility with which Izz knows her way around a mobile phone (I felt such a berk) showing me the pictures on it and how to swipe left and right, enlarging etc fair put me to shame. She knows how to use a mobile phone way better than I can so I can confirm these pics are taken by her and not Jem :)
Aw, that is really adorable.

- 1 piece(s) London Broil
- 1 can(s) Green Beans
- .5 can(s) Peas
- .5 can(s) Niblets Corn
- 2 cup(s) Minute Rice
- 1 pref Marinade
Tips and Suggestions
I usually have leftover canned veggies which work perfectly for this stew. You don't need to have exact amounts, and you can use whatever you have available or whatever you prefer.
Recipe Tools
First you'll want to marinate the London Broil. I like to stab the beef with a fork many, many times. The more the better. Lets the flavors inside the beef and keeps it from being too tough. Then lather the meat in butter before adding it to the marinade. My marinade is typically: Olive Oil, Worcestershire Sauce, Chardonnay Vinegar, Garlic powder, Lawrys Season Salt, 4 color pepper. Marinade for at least half an hour on each side.
Then cut the London Broil into pieces approximately 3 inch by 1.5 inches. Place the pieces in a bowl of flour and lightly cover them, then add them pieces to a hot frying pan. About a minute on each side. Searing the beef keep the juices inside. Especially necessary for slow cooking.
Next, open a packet of Slow Cooker Stew and mix it with water. I add a little more water then they suggest. Mix it well. Place the meat in the slow cooker and pour in the Stew Mix. You can add potatoes at that point if you prefer that rather than the rice. Cook on low for 6 hours. I like to stir it every hour. About half an hour before it's finished, add the canned veggies (green beans, peas, and Niblets corn).
Then grab the Minute Rice and fix 6 servings.
Pour the Stew over the Rice and enjoy!

Since the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan, their nuclear power plants are at risk of a meltdown. The question now is whether Japan will continue nuclear power or seek alternatives.
Japan has an industrial economy based on the consumption of energy. Their need for coal explains why they seized some of Korea from China (1895), part of Manchuria from Russia (1905), the remainder of Korea (1910), and the rest of Manchuria (1931).
Japan also has a need for oil. When Japan annexed East China (1941), President Franklin Roosevelt subjected them to a complete oil embargo (July 1941). The Japanese interpreted it as a declaration of war, since 100% of their oil was imported. Japan felt their only option was to seize the oil fields of the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), controlled by the Netherlands. Once the Dutch surrendered to Germany, Japan made plans to take the Dutch oil. Their only obstacle was the U.S., which explains why they attacked the U.S. Navy in the Philippines and at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on Dec. 7, 1941. As American forces closed in on Japan in WWII, incendiary devices were dropped on 66 cities, but it was not until atomic bombs detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki that the war ended.
In the postwar, without natural sources of coal or oil, Japan turned to nuclear energy. This was ironic since their first exposure to the unleashing of atoms was so destructive. Japan rebuilt their economy and by 1968 emerged as the second largest auto producer. It was not until this year that China replaced them as the second largest global economy. Even so, Japan remains a major trading partner and what happens to them may affect us all.
It appears Japan will probably return to nuclear energy, since they have no domestic oil or coal. On the other hand, this is the type of crisis that may finally push scientists into developing a currently unknown energy alternative.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Next week the commute for some metro drivers is going to get a bit complicated, and it's likely going to last for the next two years.
According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, road crews will soon begin rebuilding the westbound Lewis and Clark viaduct, which is the stretch of Interstate 70 between KCK and downtown KCMO.
Beginning at 10 p.m. Feb. 2, westbound I-70 will shut down at the Broadway Bridge, KDOT said.
The main detour will take drivers to westbound Interstate 670, and a secondary detour will use southbound Interstate 35. To get to KCK, drivers will have to use the Central Avenue exit from I-670.

Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao today lashed out at the Opposition parties for making deliberate attempts to corner the government through malicious comments.
Addressing a public meeting, as part of election campaigning at Deshaipet under Warangal parliamentary constituency, Harish Rao appealed to the people to vote in favour of TRS candidate Pasunuri Dayakar, who will address their problems.
"With no other go and for survival, the Opposition parties were indulging in misinformation campaigning", he charged.
Harish Rao also expressed displeasure at the Opposition parties for their persistent criticism for survival.
The minister also ridiculed the Congress and Telugu Desam and BJP combine for hiring candidates as they could not find a suitable leader to contest in the Warangal bypoll.
While the Congress roped in former MP Sarve Satyanarayana with no other go, the TDP-BJP combine imported an NRI for the election.
"These parties, which deprived the people of all facilities and failed to address their problems, have no moral right to seek votes", he said.
Harish Rao also sought to know why the Congress leaders N Utham Kumar Reddy and Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka kept mum when then Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy denied a single rupee for Telangana in the Assembly.
"These leaders have no right to seek votes from the people", he said, adding they could not see welfare and other development programs.
Deputy Speaker Padma Devender Reddy, MP Gundu Sudha Rani, MLA Konda Surekha and MLC Venkateshwarlu were present.

Pressure continues on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as the US President backed a new raft of sanctions on Maduro, his wife and a number of other officials from the South American nation.
Outward tensions have been rising between the two nations going back to Hugo Chávez' time in power, but have gotten worse since Trump took office. The US Commander-in-Chief said he would meet with Maduro but only after democracy was restored in Venezuela. Maduro has increasingly tried to limit the power of the opposition, with many ending up in prison cells.
However, Maduro has accused the US of leading an economic war against him and that the US has a history of colonialism in the region. Protests have been widespread with Maduro claiming there have been attempted coups and assassinations.
The beleaguered nation has seen inflation rates of 200,000%. Not so long ago this was a rich nation with a strong record of providing social services. This all changed when the price of oil collapsed and brought the economy of Venezuela with it.

Mayor Marty Walsh visited Uphams Corner on Monday as part of a tour of Main Streets districts highlighting the city program aimed at supporting business districts and the entrepreneurs who make them tick.
Walsh presented awards to business owners and suggested that supporting their enterprises is a key part of lifting up struggling communities without causing massive displacement.
In his remarks, Walsh pointed out the future location of a new public library branch before presenting a the "Business of the Year" award to the family-owned and operated Araujo Laundromat.
"It's important that businesses give back to the community and they have been here," said Walsh. The Araujos "were one of the first businesses to donate to the tree lighting and the arts festival and one of the best Christmas Tree lightings that we have is right here. It's the most well attended in front of the Strand."
The owners of the laundromat live in Uphams Corner and have been working hard to keep their business open since 2006.
"Having a laundromat is really hard work but we're still here," said Jessica Araujo, one of the owner's daughters. "We have loyal customers who have been here since day one. We have people that wait out here for us to open at seven o'clock in the morning. If it wasn't for them, we never would have received our award."
Main Streets connects 20 commercial districts across the city. Their mission is to recognize entrepreneurship opportunities, establish new business endeavors, and empower commercial centers. Since 1995 this effort helped establish more than 1,000 businesses, created over 8,000 jobs, and organized more than 300,000 volunteer hours.
Introducing the mayor, Bob Hass— president of the Uphams Corner Main Street board— acknowledged volunteers from the neighborhood who planted flowers along the intersection of Columbia Road and Dudley Street.
"That's the kind of extra investment that we like to see," said Haas.
The mayor also recognized David McDaniel as "Volunteer of the Year" in Uphams Corner. In reacting to the citation, McDaniel said, "Many people do not want to be on the board because it takes time, but for me this is a good way to serve my community."
Upham's Corner was the first stop of a mayoral tour through Dorchester that also included Bowdoin/Geneva, Grove Hall and Four Corners.
"When you're doing your shopping tonight, please think about your local business district," Walsh said. "Many of the businesses that we talk about, they are family businesses. They've invested their whole life into them. Many are immigrant owned as well. You have people who come from other countries to make an investment in our neighborhood, so we need to support them."
Empire Fashion, a women's beauty store, was recognized as The Business of the Year for Bowdoin/Geneva Main Streets. "It's amazing to see what's been going on in the Bowdoin/Geneva area with the businesses," Walsh said.
Shirley A. Jones, who has lived in Dorchester for 45 years, accepted the award on behalf of Empire Fashion. She also received a Volunteer of the Year Award for her neighborhood efforts.
"I want to see all positivity happening in Dorchester," Jones said. She has been volunteering with Main Streets for five years and she is also the current president of the Meeting House Hill Civic Association.
"Any business that operates in our community is associated with the Main Streets and we make sure that they've got financing," she said. "Anything they need, we are there for them so they can continue to be successful, which makes the neighborhood successful."

The beloved story of the little girl who tumbles down a rabbit hole gets a full-on facelift in this big-budget extravaganza – but though some of the furbelows are fun, the tinkering with the tale itself robs it of its magic. And the new narrative is, ironically, far more trite than the tried-and-true original.
In this latest riff on Lewis Carroll's surreal adventurous tale, Alice (Janet Decal) is a down-on-her-luck New York teacher and mom. With a failing marriage and crushed career dreams of being a writer of children's books, she stumbles into the service elevator of her new apartment building in Queens only to find herself descending to – you guessed it – Wonderland. But things have changed since the earlier Alice's day. The soulful Caterpillar (E. Clayton Cornelious) has a series of detachable chorus girls as legs; the Latino Cheshire Cat (the charismatic Jose Llama) calls himself Che and has lost his ability to vanish, though nobody has the heart to tell him; and the White Knight (an appropriately hammy Dareen Ritchie, who milks his role for all it's worth) is now the leader of a boy band of aspiring heroes. But the Queen of Hearts (the formidable Karen Mason) is as fond of decapitation as ever, and Wonderland's political intrigue is just as unavoidable as the power-crazed Mad Hatter (Kate Shindle) plans to overthrow the Queen and take Wonderland for herself. And much though Alice, like the original, wants to stay out of it all, once her daughter becomes involved, she's got to choose sides.
There's no shame in playing with a familiar tale, as evidenced by this season's Peter and the Star Catcher and countless Shakespeare plays. Blessed with what must have been an enormous bankroll, this show does bring a few charming conceits to its modernization: The White Knight's boy band is fresh and funny; Shindle's female Hatter commands attention in a way her precursor never could; and a few of the introductory numbers, like El Gato's "Go with the Flow" have an almost irreverent energy. But the frame story of Alice's downsized life in Queens is ponderous and predictable, while the larger plot innovations, like the Mad Hatter's attempted coup d'etat, frankly aren't as compelling as the original story elements, like the crazed Queen herself, played with manic glee by Mason, who positively revels in her big number, unsurprisingly titled "Off with Their Heads." The ultimate failure of imagination, however, comes at the denouement, which, without giving anything away, seems patched together from several other well-known tales.
Perhaps the most puzzling thing about this super-sized production is just who it's meant for. "Alice"-aged kids likely won't get the musical references or "Tea Party" and Jefferson Airplane jokes, let alone the adult-sized concerns that motivate the heroine, but there's not really enough depth of plotting or characterization to keep a grownup audience fully engaged, either. The musical's strong suit is spectacle—the fabulous costumes, stunning staging and creative choreography suggest a creative imagination that does combine the innocence and darker depths of Lewis Carroll's original—but the actual show, alas, doesn't live up to that promise.

Summer is slowly coming to an end. Don't miss your chance to enjoy some of Atlanta's top craft ice cream during this hot summer weather.
Atlanta isn't nicknamed Hotlanta for kicks. The average daily temperature during the summer months of May through September is 81°F. Pretty steamy if you ask me. So find some time to "chill" out (literally) at seven of Atlanta's best ice cream shops! There's one for every day of the week.
416 Church Street, Decatur, GA 30030
If you're religiously devoted to ice cream, like me, tell me a more fitting address for an ice cream shop than Church St. in downtown Decatur. This small town street is home to Butter & Cream. B&C boasts ice cream that is 100% house made and made with REAL cream. Yes, NOT fake cream. Six classic flavors never leave: Freckled Chocolate, Kona Coffee, and Summer Strawberry. The Sunday Brunch flavor makes it perfectly acceptable to have ice cream at noon, Cashew Crème Brulee plays to any foreign and fancy vibes you've got going on, and O.G. Goodness defines the relationship between ice cream and its truest fans– original gangstas.
Ponce City Market – 675 Ponce de Leon Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30308
Co-founder Jackson Smith apprenticed under gelato-making legend, Jon Snyder, but quickly realized he could revolutionize the culinary art of gelato by combining the rich and smooth textures of gelato with flavors unique to his southern roots. Some flavors include Dark Chocolate, Nutella, Brown Butter, Bourbon, Blueberry, Pecan Praline, Birthday Cake, Honey Lavender, Fresh Mint, Goat Cheese and Honey
Need I say more?
660 Irwin Street, Atlanta, GA 30312
In 1999, Jake (Founder of Jake's— YES, there is a Jake) followed a crazy intuition. He opened an ice cream shop in what was run-down, southeast Atlanta. Today, the neighborhood Jake believed in is now Atlanta's Old 4th Ward—a revitalized and popular urban oasis. Crowds flock to get a taste of Jake's ice cream made from hormone free dairy, pure cane sugar, and all natural flavors. Even more fun are the flavor names! Although Jake's is infamous for their Chocolate Slap Yo Mama and Brown Shugah Vanilla, there are around 200 other flavors to wrestle between and decipher.
Westside Provisions, Decatur Square, Krog Street, & The Avalon
Jeni's believes that ice cream brings people together. But the people won't come, unless the ice cream is scrumptious. Right? Well, that's no problem for Jeni's. Founder Jeni Britton Bauer has been making ice cream for over two decades, and in 2002 was at the forefront of the "artisan ice cream movement." Amidst the many other flavors, a few more have stood out: Milkiest Chocolate, Gooey Butter Cake, Sweet Cream Biscuits & Peach, and Genmaicha & Marshmallows.
P.S. Great date night spot!
749 Moreland Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30316
4514 Chamblee-Dunwoody Rd., Dunwoody, GA 30338
Now located in three East Atlanta neighborhoods, Morelli's Ice Cream debuted in 2008 and now is claiming the title, "Atlanta's Favorite Ice Cream," Morelli's showcases a plethora of "unique and exotic" flavors. Their most popular flavor—and favorite of Conan O'Brien—is the Original Salted Caramel, whose recipe is only known by two staff members. If you dare, venture to try one of Morelli's truly exotic flavors like Blueberry Corncake, Coconut Jalepeño, Red Raspberry Coke, or Ginger Lavender. If you're feeling more "traditional," but still want a Morelli's specialty, order the rich and creamy Butter Pecan stuffed with Georgia pecans; Cookie Monster filled with OREOS, Famous Amous cookie crumbles; or Krispy Kreamier chock-full of Krispy Kreme donut chunks.
701 Highland Ave. NE, Atlanta, GA, 30312
Located in the Inman Park neighborhood along Atlanta's Beltline, Queen of Cream is ice cream royalty. Started in 2014 by two best friends who LOVE ice cream, Queen of Cream makes all of its ice cream 100% from scratch. Flavors like Deep Chocolate, Tahitian Vanilla Bean, and Sprinkle Cookie, are always available. In need of an ice cream fix AND caffeine jolt mid-afternoon, try a cup of their Revelator coffee or shot of espresso poured over a scoop of Deep Chocolate or Tahitian Vanilla Bean.
1021 Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, GA 30218
This old-fashioned ice cream parlor in the West End on Howell Mill Rd. is a taste bud pleaser. Frozen custard was the original sweet treat of Coney Island carnivals in New York. It is "velvety smooth" by nature and bold in flavor. Vintage's custard is no exception. Choose from one of their delightful sundae creations like Coffee Strudel (vanilla frozen custard, coffee caramel, & shortbread cookies), Blueberry Cobbler (vanilla frozen custard, blueberry compote, & shortbread cookie), or S'mores (vanilla frozen custard, marshmallow cream, graham cracker crumble, whipped cream & a cherry). If none of these suffice you can make your own concoction!

Blueshift, which has offered a personalization platform since 2014, is today launching a new service that it says allows marketers to tailor their own.
Other platforms offering personalization — like Oracle's Responsys or standalone recommendation engines like RichRelevance or MyBuys, as well as what his company has previously offered — are "cookie cutter," co-founder and CEO Vijay Chittoor said. That is, they rely on attributes recorded to relational databases, and they offer a limit set of personalization options.
By contrast, he said, the patent-pending processes employed in the new Studio accept a wide range of real-time event streams reflecting user behavior from sites, apps, wearables, Internet of Things connected devices and other sources, as well as from a customer relationship management (CRM) system. Studio then allows personalized templates to be created for emails, display ads on the web, mobile notifications and other channels.

President Donald Trump could win or lose a second term in 2020, depending on what Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell does to interest rates in the coming year. Hurt by losing control of the House in the midterm elections, President TrumpDonald John TrumpCNN's Anderson Cooper: Trump's Bubba Wallace tweet was 'racist, just plain and simple' Beats by Dre announces deal with Bubba Wallace, defends him after Trump remarks Overnight Defense: DOD reportedly eyeing Confederate flag ban | House military spending bill blocks wall funding MORE needs Powell's cooperation even more than he did before the midterm elections.
Trump wants Powell to take his foot off the interest-rate gas pedal, which will help him win a second term. He has already begun to exert pressure. Trump gave Powell his job; it is only fair that Powell give him an easier path to a second term, according to Trump.
With the 2020 presidency at stake, members of the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and especially Chairman Powell, should expect vigorous verbal assault and less publicly visible pressure from the White House and the Republican leaders to stop raising the discount rate, at least for a while.
The FRB is an independent body, whose chair is nominated by the president and approved by Congress. It has two related missions: to keep unemployment and inflation low. It does so by controlling the the discount rate — the rate it charges commercial banks on short-term loans.
Changes in the discount rate cause changes in interest rates on all loans, such as mortgages and credit cards balances, throughout the economy. Also, such changes affect demand for investment products, such as stocks and bonds, from American and foreign investors.
Generally, lowering the discount rate stimulates the economy by increasing business and consumer demand, which increases employment. This has been achieved by Fed rate-easing to combat the Great Recession. When this rate is raised, the growth rate tends to slow down and inflation drops.
The discount rate is a blunt, not always reliable tool, but it generally and eventually affects economic activity.
Since Powell became Fed chair on Dec. 5, 2017 the Fed increased the discount rate from 2.0 percent to 2.75 percent, with one more rate hike expected in 2018. Despite these restrictive measures, the economy grew from 2.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017 to an average of 3.3 percent in the first three quarters of 2018.
The unemployment rate went down from 4.1 percent in December 2017 to 3.7 percent in September 2018. This suggests that the economy had been growing faster than the gradual, 0.25-percent rate increases can thwart. Or, it suggests that the Fed actions have a very long lag time.
In view of this, a 0.25-percent rate increase is presently warranted to prevent the hot economy from overheating. If this increase does not cool down the economy sufficiently, additional rate increases in 2019 will be needed. This stance is supported by most economists.
With such a 0.25-percent rate increase, the economy would continue to grow, though at a lower rate, unemployment would stay low, and the annual interest payment on the budget deficit alone will increase by $1.7 billion annually, which will add to inflationary pressures.
Combined, these outcomes would reflect negatively on President Trump's economic performance and could cost him his second term.
On the other hand, if the Fed refrains from rate increases, the economy would accelerate further, unemployment would go lower, interest payments on loans to finance the budget deficit and the national debt will not increase, and the stock market would celebrate, because the real cost of money would stay low.
This would reflect positively on the president's economic performance and could win him a second term. By the time inflation caused by this refrain shows up, a second term may well be under way.
So, what's Fed to do: Hike as suggested by the data, or refrain as demanded by the president?
Professionals like Jerome Powell and the other members of the FRB do not succumb to pressure easily, as they are guided by professional standards. They are likely to stick to their knitting of gradual rate hikes until they see clear signs of economic slowdown.
In the meantime, they should prepare for increased pressure from the White House by garnering public and political support. They must remind everyone, when making verbal and written presentations, how effective the Fed has been in lowering unemployment and keeping inflation in check, while the economy continued to grow and Americans continued to prosper.
This may not be Powell's style, but these are unusual times.

Long Live Them Blues Vol. 1
Dry Johnson
CD Baby
Review by David Bowling
It can be said that Long Live Them Blues by Dry Johnson is an album that was created from the inside out.
Dry Johnson is comprised of bassist Terry Dry and drummer Matthew Robert Johnson. They are the rhythm section for guitarist deluxe Mike Zito.
Creating an album as a two-person rhythm section has its own problems. As such they gather a number of friends and guests to help them out including guitarists John Del Toro Richardson, Mighty Orq, James Wilhite, plus band mate Mike Zito, vocalists Kevin Fitzpatrick, Trudy Lynn, and Annika Chambers, and harpist Steve Krase. It all adds up to an album of excellent modern day blues.
Dry Johnson and friends romp through ten original tracks and a cover of Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "Hit The Highway." Songs such as "Daddy's Got A Cadillac," featuring dual vocals by Zito and Chambers, "Juke Joint," "Fried Chicken," and "Too Many Hipsters" form the heart of a listenable and in many ways creative blues album.
Dry and Johnson form the foundation for the music and then allow the guests to build upon the rhythms and fill in the blanks. While they are in control; they are wise enough not to overwhelm their guests contributions. They are veterans who are wise enough to shepherd their musical visions to a positive conclusion.
Dry Johnson is a rare rhythm section that has moved out of the background to the forefront. Long Live Them Blues is the first release in what will hopefully be a successful new career.

A new E-Book The Garden of Meaning is now available. Please click on the E-Book cover to get more information.
E-Books Can be Read on Non-eReaders, Such as Smart Devices, PCs and Macs
You do not need a Kindle, Kobo or Nook eReader devices to purchase and read these eBooks. All eReader makers provide reader applications for Windows, Mac, smart phones, tablets and other devices free of charge, which you can download from their websites.
Surat Ya Sin is the heart of the Qur'an (qalb al-Qur'an). It is the chapter (surah) of the Qur'an which is read over the dead; therefore it is a chapter of great importance to the living. Should one seek to know the meaning of life, one must experience death, for man has come from the non-physical realm and he is swiftly proceeding towards it again. Knowledge is based on opposites. Man's apprehension of knowledge depends upon the condition of his heart. If the condition of his heart is pure and receptive, he sees perfection in every aspect of every situation he finds himself in. The Qur'an allows one to fathom the unfathomable.

I have a case open on this (00174224) but have been informed it's a Windows issue not a Veeam issue....
In a nutshell, all backup jobs failed on Friday night with the following error:
Code: Select all
Job [SERVERNAME] cannot be started. SessionId: [de4ab443-04b1-4557-819a-ba3592085fa0], Timeout: [362.2981005 sec]
AgentManagerService: Failed to start agent, Host 'VCENTER' Wait timeout in CPortAsker::WaitAnswer()
I have tried in vain to fix the Windows install, but can't seem to get anywhere - even from booting via the Windows CD and trying all manner of boot fixes.
My next hope is to at install Veeam somewhere else so I can backup all of the working servers. As i cannot access Veeam I cannot backup up the settings, though I do have backups of the Veeam SQL databases. I'm hoping it's as simple as creating a new VM, installing Veeam, overwriting the databases with the backups, creating some repositories and going from there....
Any guidance or suggestions?
P.S. Having recently found out about it being a bad idea for Veeam and vCenter to reside on the same VM, i have ordered a new physical machine to replace one host as we do not have sufficient resource to do so at the moment, this arrives next week so some sort of temporary solution to ensure data backups until then will be ok as I will then be able to recover vCenter (hopefully) and all will be ok again.

Snuggle Softens Better than Downy?
Snuggle fabric softener is running a new commercial claiming that women preferred Snuggle over Downy. Snuggle beat the market leader? How could this be?
The preference for Snuggle was based on how soft the towels felt wet after just having been washed? Why in the world would anyone judge a fabric softener on how a wet towel felt? My guess is they also asked women which towel was softer and smelled nicer after they were dried, but that Snuggle didn't win that comparison.
To be fair, the commercial also orally explains exactly what was preferred (although they deliberately omit the word "damp"), but unless you stop and really think about the (irrelevant) claim being made, you might have believed that Snuggle was preferred to Downy overall.

The Presentation of the Lord, Feast – Luke 2:22-40
Today Mary and Joseph travel to Jerusalem to present Jesus in the Temple. It was customary that within 40 days after the birth of the firstborn son, the parents were to take the child to the Temple in Jerusalem and present him to the Lord. As soon as Mary was able to travel, she and Joseph set out for Jerusalem as the law required. It was a long journey for them, yet they wanted their newborn son to receive the sacred rite of purification.
A man named Simeon was in the temple the day Mary, Joseph, and Jesus arrived in Jerusalem. For many years Simeon had spent most of his time in the Temple waiting for the "consolation of Israel." When Simeon saw Mary, Joseph and the baby, he recognized Jesus as the One for whom he had been waiting.
Simeon immediately went to Mary and Joseph and took the baby, Jesus, into His arms. Then Simeon loudly praised God and gave thanks that he was blessed to see and hold in his arms, "the Christ of the Lord" before he died! Simeon then prophesied that this tiny baby was destined for greatness.
On that day, Anna, the prophetess, also was in the temple. When Anna saw Mary, Joseph and Jesus she came to them and prophesied that this tiny baby would bring about the redemption of Jerusalem. I wonder how the people in the Temple reacted to these prophecies. Did they believe what Anna and Simeon were saying or were they skeptical and close-minded?
Imagine yourself in this scene. How would you react to these happenings? Would you be a believer or would you be a skeptic? At various time in our history, we all have heard "prophecies" that were to occur in the near future. Most often, we wait and wait, and the prophecy is never fulfilled. However, the time will come when the prophecy will be fulfilled.
How would life be different for us if we lived each day as if this day were to be our last day? How would you spend your day if you knew that today were your last day on earth? With whom would you spend your time? Would you go to church or would you find another way to spend time with God?
Today may be our last day; we do not know when we will die. May we live this day and every day to the fullest. May we be thankful for the many blessings we have received!

After a bad experience with Grizzly, I've decided to mortgage the house, sell the kids and buy a Sawstop (3 HP cabinet saw with 36" fence). I'm not really obsessed with the safety feature (though it is a positive), but I am in Canada and Delta and Jet are basically unavailable here, Powermatic is almost as expensive as the SS, and after all the hassles with Grizzly I don't want to roll the dice on the other cheaper options (different private label Chinese saws). I just want something that will work.
Anyways, I have to decide on some of the options / accessories, and have a few questions:
1) I do use a dado set on occasion, but I am not too worried about hand to blade contact with it – seems to me to be relatively low risk cuts. Do I need a Dado brake cartridge or can I operate the saw with the Dado set with the normal cartridge (realizing that the safety feature won't work in that case)?
2) Wondering if I should buy a backup brake cartridge. If you set off the mechanism and destroy your original cartridge, can you still operate the saw (in "bypass" mode) without the cartridge? Is that practical, or is the saw basically down until you get a replacement cartridge?
3) Is it easy to make zero clearance inserts (Dado, normal) for the saw or is it better to buy them from SS?
4) re: mobile bases. I probably move the saw once a year for some reason. I assume the PCS Base (as opposed to the more expensive industrial base) is sufficient …...but I'm wondering if I can get away from buying a mobile base at all. Any clever way of moving the saw occasionally without a mobile base?
5) Finally ….. can I put the thing together out of the box on my own or do I need help?
Thanks for all responses
