But just because belly fat comes off a bit more easily doesn’t make it less dangerous. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. “Belly fat is unfortunately the most dangerous location to store fat,” says Dr. Cheskin. Because belly fat—also known as visceral fat, or the deep abdominal fat that surrounds your organs—is more temporary, it’s more active in terms of circulating in the bloodstream. That means it’s likely to raise the amount of fat in your blood (known as blood lipid levels) and increase your blood sugar levels, which as a result raises your risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Cortisone as an oral drug is another common culprit (e.g. Prednisolone). Cortisone often causes weight gain in the long run, especially at higher doses (e.g. more than 5 mg Prednisolone per day). Unfortunately, cortisone is often an essential medication for those who are prescribed it, but the dose should be adjusted frequently so you don’t take more than you need. Asthma inhalers and other local cortisone treatments, like creams or nose sprays, hardly affect weight.
Want to instantly burn more blubber in your workout? Research conducted at Brunel University found listening to your favourite tracks will increase your endurance by a massive 15 per cent. And if you really want to turn your weight loss up to 11, Social Psychological and Personality Science found that heavy bass increases your sense of personal power to help you get the most out of the gym.
What can I eat on a no-carb diet? Many people reduce carbohydrate intake to help them lose weight. Carbohydrates are important macronutrients, but cutting them can help people to lose weight by making it possible to reduce calories and improve feelings of fullness. Alternatives to carbs can make it easier to stick to a low-carb diet. Learn more here. Read now
Burn more energy as heat. Expose yourself to cold temperatures regularly to make your body burn off more energy as heat. Drink ice water, take cold showers, keep your bedroom cool, or hold an ice pack to your upper back. Eating spicy foods also makes you produce more heat- having a slice of cold cut meat sprinkled with cayenne pepper right before a cold shower can significantly accelerate fat burning.
This could be because the body increases insulin secretion in anticipation that sugar will appear in the blood. When this doesn’t happen, blood sugar drops and hunger increases. Whether this chain of events regularly takes place is somewhat unclear. Something odd happened when I tested Pepsi Max though, and there are well-designed studies showing increased insulin when using artificial sweeteners.
The sad truth is that conventional ideas – eat less, run more – do not work long term. Counting calories, exercising for hours every day and trying to ignore your hunger? That’s needless suffering and it wastes your time and precious willpower. It’s weight loss for masochists. Eventually almost everyone gives up. That’s why we have an obesity epidemic. Fortunately there’s a better way.
Consult your physician and follow all safety instructions before beginning any exercise program or using any supplement or meal replacement product, especially if you have any unique medical conditions or needs. The contents on our website are for informational purposes only, and are not intended to diagnose any medical condition, replace the advice of a healthcare professional, or provide any medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
You know the drill: Replace refined, overly processed foods with more natural, whole foods. Sure, all foods fit, but they don’t all fit equally. Here’s why: Every time you eat, your metabolism increases as your body works to process your meal. Studies that compare the metabolic boost of calorie-matched whole foods to processed ones find that your body can burn up to 50 percent more calories after a meal made with more real food ingredients compared to a similar meal made with more processed fare. The fact is, your body has to work harder to break down whole foods in order to grab the raw materials it needs so if you exist on a lot of packaged foods and fast foods (think: chips, donuts and drive-thru fare), it’s going to be tougher to lose weight and keep those pounds from coming back.
‘Do it for a couple of minutes in bed and you’ll actually be able to wind down and fall asleep more easily. But it’s a skill, so it requires a commitment to practice it, as with anything. Think of it a bit like dating – the first time you do it it’s terrible, it’s uncomfortable, nobody knows what they’re doing, but the more dates you go on the better it gets.
This question is on so many minds: how can I lose belly fat...and fast? While there's no magic formula of food and exercise to reduce belly fat with the snap of your fingers, there are nutrition choices, exercises and lifestyle changes that can help. Here's your guide to understanding exactly what belly fat is and how you might be able to reduce it over time.
A 2018 study among more than 600 adults who were tracked for a year concluded that while there are different paths to weight loss, the advice to limit added sugars and refined grains, add more veggies to your plate, and eat more whole foods — in other words, focusing on the quality of your diet — is the way to go. People who followed this advice lost weight without worrying about calories.
The degree to which exercise aids weight loss is open to debate, but the benefits go way beyond burning calories. Exercise can increase your metabolism and improve your outlook—and it’s something you can benefit from right now. Go for a walk, stretch, move around and you’ll have more energy and motivation to tackle the other steps in your weight-loss program.

About Michael McDonald – Wednesday, August 3, 2016
A prominent part of the soundtrack to our times, Michael McDonald has been thrilling listeners with his distinctively soulful style for four decades. From "70s-era Doobie Brothers classics such as "What A Fool Believes" and solo hits like "I Keep Forgettin?" through two highly-acclaimed Motown covers albums and recent guest spots with alternative buzz bands Grizzly Bear and Holy Ghost, the five-time Grammy-winning McDonald is that rare thing in contemporary pop music – an artist and songwriter whose work is both timeless and ever-evolving.
Along with his musical contributions, McDonald has long been an active humanitarian. Over the years, he has lent his performing talents to many causes and benefits, including Toys R Us Children?s Fund, MusiCares, the National Council of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse and the 7UP Grammy Signature Schools Program. Most recently, in April 2011, he was part of a star-studded lineup at Kokua For Japan, a concert that raised $1.6 million for tsunami relief.
Yet for all his accomplishments, McDonald has kept a modestly low profile. Shunning theatrics and trend-chasing, he has trusted in the power of his singular voice and a deep catalog of memorable songs to point the way through his long career. Few have made such an impact with so little media hoopla.
About the Monkees – Friday, August 5, 2016
When four young men were cast in the television roles of a struggling rock band inspired by The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night, few could have predicted the impact The Monkees would make on music and pop culture at large, an impact that still reverberates 50 years later.
Assembled in Los Angeles in 1965 by Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider for the television series The Monkees, the quartet of Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, and the late Davy Jones brought a singular mix of pop, rock, psychedelica, Broadway, and country to their music.
The Monkees’ first single, “Last Train to Clarksville,” was released in August 1966, hitting #1 and serving as advance publicity for their series. By the time the group’s TV series aired its final new episode on March 25, 1968, the Monkees had racked up several more hit singles, with “I’m a Believer,” “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone,” “A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You,” “The Girl I Knew Somewhere,” “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” “Words,” “Daydream Believer,” “Valleri,” and “Tapioca Tundra” all finding their way into the Billboard Top 40.
After the series’ two-season run, the group went on to star in the cult feature film HEAD (co-written by Jack Nicholson) and a TV special (33 1/3 Revolutions per Monkee) while also continuing to record new material, but the members of the Monkees eventually gave in to their individual musical interests and went their separate ways… for awhile.
In the wake of Jones’s death on February 29, 2012, the surviving members of the Monkees reunited and performed a series concerts. The shows were greeted with sell-out response and phenomenal reviews.
Now, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork carry on that tradition with a full evening of magic music and multi-media splendor, including clips from their Emmy Award winning series. Their new show features all of the Monkees hits, plus an intimate acoustic set and solo spots for each of the singers. This Evening With The Monkees is sure to please every fan of the band.
About Citizen Kane – FREE
Citizen Kane is a 1941 American mystery drama film by Orson Welles, its producer, co-author, director and star. Nominated for Academy Awards in nine categories, it won an Academy Award for Best Writing and topped the American Film Institute’s 100 Years 100 Movies.
In “Citizen Kane,” Welles drew the most sweeping American portrait of ambition operating within a lawless world that overflows its banks, actually and metaphorically, as a result of an unbounded lust for power.
About The Monterey County Pops! Performance – FREE
Monterey County Pops! is an orchestra dedicated to bringing pops and patriotic music performed by professional musicians to the families and visitors of Monterey County free-of-charge, and to strategically identify, engage, and educate underserved youth of Monterey County.
About Local Band Night – FREE
Strawberry Girls (Tragic Hero Records) is an instrumental aggressive groove-rock trio from Salinas, CA featuring (ex-Dance Gavin Dance guitarist) Zac Garren, Ben Rosett, & Ian Jennings. The debut full-length album, "French Ghetto", has been critically acclaimed and has launched them on national tours opening for some notable prog. rock bands (Chon, Dance Gavin Dance). In March they released a live record, recorded by Audiotree Sessions. High energy, precision and amazing musicianship are what makes Strawberry Girls so captivating.
Cowboy Starr Project
Cowboy Starr Project is an constantly evolving musical entity. Christopher Brian, who performs as Cowboy Starr, says, "I try not to give my band too much direction." The line-up is subject to change. The songs are often re-arranged. The catalog of songs is massive. It's never the same show twice. "It's my original tunes and whoever I'm lucky enough to have with me. Somedays we're more like a big ska band (recently opening for The Toasters at The Catalyst). Sometimes we're more like an acoustic folk combo."
If Fleetwood Mac were modern hippies living deep in Carmel Valley, they might sound something like Valley Soul. Outside of practices and performances, you'll still find Valley Soul hanging around together. They are like family. Their live dynamic is much the same. You feel the love, you hear the love. The harmonies sound like they've we raised singing together. Everyone sings and writes. The lead vocal is passed around from member to member, sometimes mid-song. You'll want to dance, this will be difficult as you just can't stop staring.
The Bloody Kerouacs
Local. Real, Amazing. They are like the west coast cousin of the Artic Monkeys.
About the Golden State Theatre
The Golden State Theatre is celebrating its 90th Anniversary this year! In 1926, a 15,000 square-foot Moorish castle rose on Alvarado Street, to the amazement of locals and visitors alike. A new cinema and live performance venue to rival those in California's largest cities, the Golden State Theatre, which was built by the Reid Brothers, was the definition of an opulent movie palace. After decades of deterioration, it was faithfully restored to its former glory, featuring an Old World grand lobby and mezzanine, one thousand plush velvet seats, state-of-the-art sound, and the indefinable magic of a truly historic setting. Dana Carvey, B.B. King, Dave Mason, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Yes, Patti Smith, Bob Weir and The Smothers Brothers — these are just some of the names that have graced the stage, contributing to the Theatre's new legacy since its renovation and exciting revival. The community is invited to attend a world-class concert or film festival at the Golden State Theatre, or host their own special event here, and become part of its new chapter of history.
The Golden State Theatre is operated by husband and wife entrepreneurs, Eric and Lori Lochtefeld, along with a team of industry professionals from across the country. They are also co-owners of the Fox Theatre in Redwood City, also built by the Reid Brothers in 1929, where they hold nearly 200 events per year. Through their work with the Fox Theatre and the community, they have helped to revitalize downtown Redwood City. For more information, gotowww.goldenstatetheatre.com
The Golden State Theatre is located at 417 Alvarado Street in Downtown Monterey and has many more outstanding events coming up in 2016 including performances of National Geographic Live Presents: Pete McBride ~ Chasing Rivers (July 13), Dr. John and the Day Trippers (July 22), Citizen Kane - Golden State Theatre Celebrating Its 90th Anniversary (August 1), Monterey Pops ~ Golden State Theatre Celebrating Its 90th Anniversary (August 2), Michael McDonald ~ Golden State Theatre Celebrating Its 90th Anniversary (August 3), Local Band Night ~ Golden State Theatre Celebrating Its 90th Anniversary (Strawberry Girls, Cowboy Starr Project and Valley Soul (August 4), The Monkees - Good Times: The 50th Anniversary Tour ~ Golden State Theatre Celebrating Its 90th Anniversary (August 5), Alvarado Street Party ~ Golden State Theatre Celebrating the 90th Anniversary (August 6), National Geographic Live Presents Ami Vitale: Rhinos, Rickshaws, & Revolutions (August 17), Comedian Kathleen Madigan (September 10), Art Garfunkel: In Close-Up (September 15), The Mavericks (September 18), Iris Dement and Loudon Wainwright III (September 22), Mick Fleetwood Blues Band (September 24), Comedian Tracy Morgan (September 30), Comedian Angelah Johnson (October 9), Lewis Black (December 9) and John Prine (December 14)..

A New Hybrid
Elastic gridshells braced by membranes
A new hybrid - Elastic gridshells braced by membranes
Deployable elastic gridshells are cost-effective lightweight structures making use of a rapid construction process, in which the geometry of the gridshell is obtained by bending an initially flat grid. This particular shaping process allows to save time during the erection of the structure, as the grid rods must not be bent individually but the grid can be shaped as a whole. Moreover, the assembling of the connections between the superposed rod layers of the grid can be done on the ground on a flat geometry, which results easier than connecting single elements on the air. Nevertheless, in order to be provided by sharing stiffness, the grid must be braced after the shaping process by additional elements as a third layer of rods or diagonal cables. The assembling of this bracing layer is usually time-consuming and requires additional supplies as cherry-picker or movable scaffolds. In this manner one of the great advantages- the rapid deployablity of elastic gridshells - is clearly reduced. In order to accelerate the construction process of deployable elastic gridshells, we propose to use covering textile membranes as stiffening and at the same time cladding surfaces. In this paper, we study the structural behaviour of an elastic hemispheric gridshell braced with a membrane layer. Different connection configurations between membrane and grid have been analysed and the results have been compared with traditional bracing systems.
Keywords: elastic gridshells, bracing membrane, hybrid structure, active-bending, finite-element-modelling

Not exactly camp but still a good read, Thanks to Byrd074 for this.
about being scared while geting to stand [Re: delhunter] Byrd074 Byrd074
Loc: Lancaster Co.
Delhunter, not sure if it was me you were thinking of but i wrote this true story(with added affects)in the Spirit forum. If not the same one hope you get a full laugh from it....especially since this weekend is Halloween!!
Now i have a huge imagination and i love horror movies. Which might not be the best thing for a hunter who goes strolling around the woods in the darkness. But this happened to me this past Saturday so i thought i could share it with you guys plus add some touches of what goes through my mind at times. It seems the woods can be a bit eerie at times..........
“Whoa, what was that?” I say to myself as I am easing into position at the base of my tree. The moon is high and the clouds are thick, swiftly blowing across the sky in the pre-dawn darkness. I hear the crunch of a four-legged animal off in the distance. Or is it a hairy cross between man and mythical beast? A scene from The Howling enters my mind. In the distance I hear a train screeching, rumbling making such noises that I have never heard. Dogs have taken to the end of their chains, neck hairs on full alert only to run back into the safety of their lairs cowering from sense and smell. I slowly climb into my climber, taking one last look around the moonlit darkness. Shapes and figures appear to me as alien invaders as scary as the coat rack in my bedroom when I was boy. But of course they are just trees…….right?
I quickly ascend the tree knowing full well that Pumpkinhead is lurking just out of sight and waiting to attack at just the right moment. The blood begins to flow and adrenaline pumps as I am exposing my back to the world of the unknown, just waiting for the darkness to grab me. I finally reach the pinnacle of my ascent. I shine my head lamp down to the base of the tree fully expecting to see some ghoulish creature climbing up my rope. I yank on the rope to pull up my bow and bag and it does not budge. “What the world?” I say to myself. As I shine down I see a boney, crinkled old hand holding onto my bag. It won’t let go!! But alas, after a few yanks the old rotten branch gives way. Or did the creature just let go?
I sit in the dark listening for the sounds of other worlds that we all know lurk in the darkness. I remember my dad telling me as a boy, “There isn’t anything in the woods in the dark that isn’t there during the day.” But who is he to tell me what is real and unreal? So I sit and wait and wait for the horrible misshapen creatures to attack. I am ever ready, just waiting and waiting.
I hear the rustling in my bag. I think to myself what is that? Is it a leaf in the tree? No. It must be a vine or something swaying in the breeze. I listen harder and harder. It is coming from my backpack! No way can this be happening. Slowly I bring my pack around and place it in my lap. I see a shape moving under the material of the front pocket. Breathing heavily I slowly unzip the pocket. Of course it is going to be some sort of horrible evil that I unleash out of my bag. I take a deep breath and look inside for this fiendish creature to be unleashed into my world. The attack is inevitable. I am waiting for………for……for…………
For the evil field mouse that was munching on and old granola bar from Spring Turkey! Lord only knows how he got in there but he was there.

One of the most powerful practices you can incorporate into your daily routine is setting clear intentions for the upcoming day, week, month and beyond. Since the theme of this month is simplicity, let’s start with getting clear on what it is you DO want. In particular when it comes to your well-being.
Recall that simplicity is about finding wholeness in your life, and that health includes how you nourish yourself spiritually, socially, physically, mentally and emotionally. So, time to reflect – if time and resources were not an issue, what would your dream life look like? Take a moment to close your eyes and imagine, daydream; what would your body and health feel like? what would your career be? who would you spend the most time with? where would you be living? what is the climate like where you are? how would you feel? Take a few minutes right now to write down all the things you want to create for your health, no holds bar, no idea too big or small, no judgments. Write your big heart out! Health, career, finances, relationships, emotional well-being are some great areas to start. Filling in at least one page will not be hard.
Now choose the one thing that’s been tugging at you, whispering in your ear and set a clear intention with a statement that is both Present Time and Positive. For example, if what you desire most is to create and maintain healthy eating habits you might say, “I easily make positive, healthy choices.” If you’ve been meaning to begin an exercise routine, “I enjoy moving my body every day.” If you’re need of some relationship rebalancing, “My relationships are harmonious. I am surrounded by loving, supportive people.” If you’re trying to heal your relationship with yourself, “I love and accept myself exactly as I am” is the most potent and powerful statement you can say to yourself. If you have an injury or something that needs healing in the body, speak as if it is,
Even though the statement may not be true in this moment, the power comes in writing down, saying your intentions aloud, and putting it ‘out there’. Keep repeating until it has become part of your programming, and until you believe it so deeply you can FEEL it. We all talk to ourselves and psychologist estimate we have at least 50,000 thoughts per day. Majority of which are subconscious and negative, so since we have choice, why not change perspective? This exercise begins the process of focusing on what you do want instead of what you don’t; you get what you focus on always. It also begins the process of reprogramming our mind so that its filled with thoughts and beliefs that support what we want to create; energy always follows intention. This also means the energy you invest, otherwise known as taking action will shift and be better spent. What you think about or talk about, comes about, so be mindful of how you invest your energy and words.
Be open to all possibility. Keep an open mind and heart; though I always encourage a healthy curiosity, so keep questioning as well. Continue to use this daydream practice. Start with a quick moment of silence in the morning focusing on how you’d like your day to unfold. Or choose one ‘wish’ from your list, write it down, read it often, picture it happening in your mind’s eye, and allow the feeling to fill your body and heart. Then, watch miracles unfold all around you, as I have.
Would love to hear how your intentions are showing up in your life. Keep in touch!
Be Well Friends, Jennifer xo

Objectives Though highly effective, the vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV) does not completely eradicate the risk of cervical dysplasia and subsequent malignancy.
Methods We present a case series of patients treated between 2007- 2017 for cervical dysplasia or invasive carcinoma after immunization with at least 2 doses of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine. Demographic and clinicopathologic data were collected and descriptive statistics were used.
Results Thirty-five patients were identified. Median age was 21.0 years(range, 13–30)at diagnosis and 27.8years (range, 18.2–36.1)at completion of HPV vaccination. Median follow-up was 17.1 months. Three doses were administered in 22 patients (62.9%). Fifteen patients (42.9%) had cervical dysplasia and 20 (57.1%) had invasive carcinoma. Squamous histology was present in 18 cases (51.4%) and adenocarcinoma in 17 cases (48.6%). All patients with invasive carcinoma had stage I disease while 10 (50%) had lymphovascular space invasion. Thirty patients (85.7%) had fertility-sparing surgery and 32 (91.4%) were treated with surgery alone. At the time of last follow-up, 32 patients (91.4%) had no evidence of disease, 2 had persistent HPV infection and 1 had recurrence carcinoma treated with pelvic exenteration.
Conclusions Cervical dysplasia and malignancy after HPV vaccination can occur, and a majority of cases are HPV associated, suggesting incomplete coverage of the vaccine or vaccination after HPV exposure. In our series, all vaccinations occurred after the CDC recommended age of 11–12 years old, which highlights the need to complete vaccination prior to HPV exposure, in addition to continued screening for cervical cancer per guidelines.

On a night when Paris was shell-shocked by terrorist attacks, fans leaving the Stade de France after the France-Germany match sang the French National anthem in a commendable show of solidarity.
The French victory over Germany provided little cause for celebration to the fans at the Stade de France, as they received information about the terrorist attacks that had ravaged the city of Paris. The supporters gathered on the pitch after the match, afraid and confused at the chaos taking place outside.
While leaving the stadium, in an emotional show of solidarity in the face of violence, the fans loudly sang the French national anthem, La Marseillaise, and cheered as they left the ground.
Here’s a video showing their exit.

As much as I like to muse about how to stomp someone’s face into the dirt I also like to paint things. It really upsets me to admit that I got inspired by Wretched Scum’s flame painting guide of how he did his fantastic Fenn Rau. I had also been toying with the idea of…

Rottet to design interiors of ex-Royal Palm.
The James hospitality brand has unveiled plans for its third luxury hotel, The James Royal Palm in Miami. The new James will be located in the former Royal Palm Hotel in South Beach, with renovations at that locale slated to be completed in late 2012.
“Having successfully opened hotels in two of the most stylish and cosmopolitan cities in the world [Chicago and New York], it seemed only natural to expand The James brand to Miami,” said Brad Wilson, coo of Denihan Hospitality Group and one of the founders of The James brand. “The culturally rich neighborhood of South Beach is the ideal choice, and, thanks to the history of the Royal Palm, The James Royal Palm is automatically embedded in the traditions of this vibrant community.”
The James Royal Palm will have 179 guest rooms and 211 studios and suites, the majority of which have ocean views. The hotel will also be home to two swimming pools, a beachfront restaurant, a poolside bar, a lobby lounge, a full-service spa and over 10,000 square feet of meeting and event space.
The interiors of The James Royal Palm will be designed by Lauren Rottet, of Rottet Studio. The overall renovation will pay homage to the art deco roots of the original hotel, as well as the local area. “We strive to ensure that the interiors reflect an essence of approachable luxury as well as the proud history of both these legendary buildings and the dynamic community in which it resides,” said Rottet.
The property is owned by KSL Capital Partners, a private equity firm specializing in travel and leisure enterprises that bought the locale for $130 million from Sunstone Hotel Investors in a deal that closed last month, The Miami Herald reports.

IgE is central to the development of allergic diseases, and its neutralization alleviates allergic symptoms. However, most of these antibodies are based on IgG1, which is associated with an increased risk of fragment crystallizable-mediated side effects. Moreover, omalizumab, an anti-IgE antibody approved for therapeutic use, has limited benefits for patients with high IgE levels. Here, we assess a fusion protein with extracellular domain of high affinity IgE receptor, FcεRIα, linked to a IgD/IgG4 hybrid Fc domain we term IgETRAP, to reduce the risk of IgG1 Fc-mediated side effects. IgETRAP shows enhanced IgE binding affinity compared to omalizumab. We also see an enhanced therapeutic effect of IgETRAP in food allergy models when combined with Bifidobacterium longum, which results in mast cell number and free IgE levels. The combination of IgETRAP and B. longum may therefore represent a potent treatment for allergic patients with high IgE levels.
