Borealis, a leading provider of innovative solutions in the fields of polyolefins, base chemicals and fertilizers, along with customers and honoured local guests, celebrated a hallmark in its global expansion efforts by declaring its new polypropylene (PP) compounding plant in Taylorsville, US, open. The 50,000 sq. ft. facility, with rail siding in place, adds an initial 66 million pounds of capacity to strengthen Borealis’ and Borouge’s global supply capability for thermoplastic olefin (TPO) and short-glass fiber (SGF) compounds.

April 12, 2009, 07:29 PM
Well then. Ill get to it. I have the chance to buy a m37 featherweight 16 gauge. Ive seen prices from 250 to 400 during research. Its in good shape, 50s model i believe. Anybody have any input on possible pricing?
April 12, 2009, 10:37 PM
Ithaca shotguns are simply great. I never had one fail and I do and have owned a couple. I just don't know where the 16 guage is going anymore. I also still own an Ithaca 16 guage NID double that I love to shoot. The 16 seems to be a dying guage and the shells are getting more and more costly compared to 12 or 20. Reloading components are almost not available and store shells are spotty at best. Personally, I'd look for an old Ithaca 12 or 20 just to be safe. Just my opinion and that and $1.69 will get you a cup of 10 cent coffee anywhere.
April 12, 2009, 11:44 PM
I second what Ruger said. I'd probably still buy it, but I would want a better deal on the gun because it's in 16 ga. The 16 is a great, I'm not saying it isn't, but it's not especially popular anymore (though it did have a minor resurgence a few years back). You just have more, and cheaper, ammo choices in 12 or 20. The Ithaca 37 is a great pump shotgun...none better.
April 12, 2009, 11:59 PM
Im well versed in the awestruck wonder of the ithaca pump. I have 3 allready and ive been hunting everything from ducks and geese to grouse and pheasant to deer and bear with them as long as i can remember. i have two deerslayers and a featherweight, all 12 gauge and im allways lookin for more to buy and horde for myself. An older gentleman ive come to know over the past few years is looking to sell his equipment to someone and kindof wants me to have it. So im looking for fair prices for everything. Trust me im not gonna let a 37 slip through my fingers even if it is a 16 (and id kinda like to have a 16 to add to my arsenal ;) ). Im really wonderin what a fair price would be to pay him.
April 13, 2009, 01:24 AM
Your best bet is probably to look at http://gunbroker.com/ and http://www.auctionarms.com/ and do some comparisons. You may have done that already, but I doubt you'll get better pricing/costing info on any forum.
April 13, 2009, 09:48 AM
thanks for the input
April 13, 2009, 11:42 PM
I have a model 37 in 16 gauge, it is a great pump gun. It fits me real good I love to shoot it even though it kicks like a mule. real good field gun light and tough I love the ring tail fore end and the way the barrel removes. But I must admit that I have to have my shells shipped and pay for the freight, and shells are heavy so when I see a sale I buy a few cases at a time. I cant find any places in southern California that carries 16 gauge shells. but if I were you I would get it if I could. Just a great pump gun.
April 14, 2009, 12:06 AM
a lot of small local shops round here sell 16 shells. ive even found a box of slugs. to tell you the truth im pretty excited about having another 37 to add to the collection, and im even more excited that its a 16, just to have something different
April 14, 2009, 12:19 AM
I have the featherlight m37 in a 12 and I love it. If I could find more Ithica shotguns around here I would gobble them up but there sort of scarce up here in b.c. canada. I have never shot a 16 gage before, let alone seen one. Im glad to hear that you can find ammo in your area and I hope you enjoy your new gun!
April 14, 2009, 12:24 AM
i definately will enjoy it. i feel kindof greedy with this being my 4th one, (ok maybe not :D )
April 14, 2009, 01:25 AM
for after 855,000 the barrels were readily interchangable. whereas the pre 855,00 were individually mated and headspaced.
Also the SN shoulf be the same on barrel about the 5:30 position and the SN is on the fright front face of receiver.

My 16 is from 1953, give to me on my 16th bday
I am lucky enough to live in the Ithaca area and had several friends that worked there in the 70s and 80s.
they fitted my 37 with a nice piece of wood and a new slug barrel.
I'm not sure when they went with interchangeable barrels
PS the work cost me a couple of bottles of Wild Turkey
April 15, 2009, 08:47 PM
i live a few miles from ithaca, unfortunately the factory isnt there anymore:( but i was looking into buying a slug barrel for it. im not sure what the serial # on the gun is since i havent had a chance to look at it but i think the interchangable barrels started after serial # 850,000 or so. corect me if im wrong.
April 16, 2009, 12:07 AM
that opened a gunsmithing business and deal with Ithaca's.
I have used him to mate a second barrel and reblue mt 1954 model.
As far as slug barrels, few are out there but expensive.
Keep haunting the auction sites for one.
April 16, 2009, 07:46 AM
thanks for the info. do you know the name of the place? im definately close enough to go check it out
August 3, 2009, 06:00 PM
16 ga was popular in the South as a quail gun. 12 ga considered "bad taste"
among old-time quail hunters. Limited choices in ammo only problem, but you just have to look and stock up when found. The Model 37 is a classic, I own a featherweight w/cyl barrel. Pawn shop find @ $150. Solid as a rock.
August 4, 2009, 09:19 PM
First pump I bought my left-handed daughter. Can't beat that bottom-feed/bottom-ejection.
Light, fast and swings easily.
Go for it!
August 4, 2009, 09:48 PM
My 1st shotgun was a Stevens .410 single shot. My second was an Ithaca Featherweight 16ga. I drug that old gal EVERYWHERE and hunted everything from squirrels to ducks and deer with it and even took a wild boar with that gun. There simply isn't a better all purpose pump IMHO. That gal will be here and working like a dream when you and I are long gone.
August 5, 2009, 06:18 PM
The 16ga has made a dramatic comeback as a game gun, and ANY 16 in good or better condition is in demand, commanding a slight premium.
The Ithaca Model 37 Featherweight is one of the better designs, a classic - good for either right or left handed shooters.
Their only shortcoming is a tendenancy to jam if short-stroked.
This 20ga Model 37 Deluxe Featherweight Deerslayer is the third Ithaca Model 37 I bought because I wanted a smaller, scaled-down gun
(The first was a 12ga riot gunm and the second a 12ga standard Deerslayer.)
August 6, 2009, 02:15 AM
You can at least get std Rem field shot at Big 5. Great gun and gauge.
August 6, 2009, 11:10 AM
Yes the 16 guage has a hard time keeping up with the 12 and 20 crowds but it is far from dead.
You might want to look here: http://16ga.com/home.html
The reason, IMHO, the 16 ga gets little air time is because there are no sanctioned clay games for said gauge.
Now, with that said. The 16ga is my favorite ringneck gun. I use an Ithaca 16 ga., that was handed down three generations (soon to be four) is used every fall on the family farm very close to where the Ohio Ithacas are made.
Great gun wouldn't change a thing.
August 6, 2009, 09:30 PM
It's actually called the Featherlight.
I have two 12 gauge models, one was my Dad's, one was given to me by a friend.
I'm looking for a 20-gauge with the old style "corncob" forearm. If anyone knows where one is hiding, please let me know.

Back to Brazil for Another Try President George H.W. Bush joined other world leaders at the United Nations' first Earth Summit in Rio in 1992. Since then, global temperatures have been on the rise. in 1997, Bill Clinton tried, but failed, to get Senate ratification of the Kyoto Protocol , which has been called a "missed opportunity" to mobilize international action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. George W. Bush did not go to Johannesburg in 2002 for the summit's tenth anniversary. Now the focus is back on Rio, with Secretary General Ban Ki-moon calling for "revolutionary action" to overcome the global "suicide pact" of industrialization. Can Rio+20 get a better start on a "sustainable" world economy? Where are the leaders of Germany, Britain and the United States?

'Vitality of Suffolk and Essex cultural life' shown in Great British Railway Journeys
- Credit: BBC/Naked West/Fremantle
BBC's Great Railway Journeys have highlighted "the vitality of cultural life" in Suffolk and north Essex in its latest series.
The railway history show sees Michael Portillo travel from Saxmundham down to Dedham, through rail and ferry, brandishing his 1930s copy of Bradshaw’s Guide, a Victorian travel book.
Mr Portillo takes this opportunity, after visiting Ipswich in 2017, to delve into the cultural history of East Anglia in the 1930s between the two great wars.
He comes to Saxmundham by rail so he can visit Leiston - which used to be accessible by train through the old Alderburgh branch - for what he claims is the oldest children’s democracy in the world, Summerhill School, also covered in a recent TV series, and founded in 1921.
Then it is off to Woodbridge for Sutton Hoo in Suffolk, where an Anglo-Saxon ship was found buried in the earth shortly before WWII.
Mr Portillo then takes the Great Anglia service to Ipswich so he can change for Felixstowe and catch the ferry to Harwich, and explore the Kindertransport that allowed Jewish refugees to flee the Nazis.
While in the town, he hops on a train to Manningtree so he can get to the Essex village of Dedham.
Here he meets Cedric Morris expert and executive director of Sudbury's Gainsborough House Mark Bills to discuss his life in the village and Morris' East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing.
Mr Bills, who caught up with this newspaper today, was hopeful more people will see how Morris, Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable were all inspired by this region.
He said: "Cultural tourism is a way we can inject back into the economy.
"Why would you go to Stratford upon Avon if not for Shakespeare? Cultural history is really important to the place we live."

The 57-year-old added that when Gainsborough House reopens in 2022 there will be a room dedicated to Morris' works.
A trip to see Jenny Hand, director at The Munnings Art Museum, in Dedham, also sees Mr Portillo talk about the works of Alfred Munnings and his lack of interest in newer art that was not "uplifting".
She told us: "He felt ugly art could be confusing and depressing.
"There is such a diversity of art here. You can call it the valley of the artist.
"These programmes really do highlight the vitality of cultural life in this part of the world."
In the May 4 episode, Great Railway Journeys also visits Colchester to Chadwell Heath, where Mr Portillo stops at Tiptree, and Abberton Reservoir.
He will then in a May 7 episode go from Newmarket, where he will learn more about the history of horse racing, before moving on to Ickworth House near Bury St Edmunds and onto Norfolk.
Series 12 of Great British Railway Journeys can be seen on BBC Two, from Monday to Friday, at 6.30pm each night or through BBC iPlayer.

Editorial -- Eric H. Holder Jr.'s Imperfect Record
IF TAPPED as attorney general, Eric H. Holder Jr. would bring years of experience and top-notch credentials as a prosecutor, judge, lawyer in private practice and former top official in the Justice Department. The predominant features of his record are independence, integrity and effectiveness. But there is one stain on his record that Senate confirmation hearings should examine.
As a young attorney in Justice's fledgling Public Integrity Section, Mr. Holder helped bring cases against Philadelphia judges. Mr. Holder would later become a judge himself, when President Ronald Reagan appointed him to the D.C. Superior Court. There, Mr. Holder gained a reputation as a thoughtful and even-handed jurist. He favored neither the government nor criminal defendants; nor did he reflexively favor the little guy against business, or vice versa.
As the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia in the early 1990s, he presided ably over the high-profile corruption prosecution of former Democratic powerhouse Dan Rostenkowski of Illinois. Yet Mr. Holder, the first African American to hold the top prosecutor's slot in the District, also made time to meet with residents all across the city. During those sessions, he often simultaneously faced the desperation of citizens living with fears of crime and the frustration of those who questioned the fairness of a system that locked away so many young black men for relatively minor drug crimes. He handled the queries with the commitment of a public servant who also sees himself as a member of the community.
As deputy attorney general during the Clinton administration, Mr. Holder supported the investigation of administration officials, which did not always sit well with the White House. He won the respect of many Justice Department career officials, relieved to be dealing with a political appointee more concerned with the law than with politics.
But there is a blot on Mr. Holder's otherwise stellar reputation. Mr. Holder was No. 2 at the Justice Department when President Bill Clinton pardoned fugitive financier Marc Rich, whose ex-wife was a major Clinton contributor. Although Mr. Holder oversaw the lawyers responsible for evaluating pardon requests, he did not insist that his department formally evaluate the legal merits of the claim after Mr. Rich applied directly to the White House for his pardon. He told the White House on President Clinton's last night in office that he was "neutral, leaning toward favorable" on the pardon. Mr. Holder has since said he would have opposed the pardon had he had more information.
Mr. Holder testified before Congress in 2001 about the Rich affair. But Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) was right to say on MSNBC yesterday that, if nominated, Mr. Holder must be questioned again about his failure to block that unconscionable pardon. Ultimately, the call was President Clinton's, but why did Mr. Holder not object to the pardon of a fugitive millionaire politically connected to the president? After almost eight years of a highly politicized and dysfunctional Justice Department, the Senate should assure itself that the next attorney general will be beyond reproach.

Our London Marathon runner this year is Chris Peck, who has been on quite the journey recently. In his own words:
“I am proud to be the Island Games London Marathon runner ... since being diagnosed with bowel cancer in July 2018 fitness has had to be fitted in around treatments, but has been an important aspect of my recovery, both mentally and physically. I still have another operation due on the 3rd of January but hope to be back running within 4 weeks and start on those longer runs ready for London.”
Best of luck today, Chris - and we look forward to seeing you back out training soon!

The Isle of Wight’s athletes now know what they will be wearing as they head off to Gibraltar for the Island Games next month (July).
Around 130 of this year’s selected sports stars received their kits during a launch event at Northwood House in Cowes this evening (Tuesday).
Among those in attendance was Olympic gold medallist Shirley Robertson OBE, appearing on behalf of Lord Lieutenant of the Isle of Wight Susie Sheldon. She wished the squad luck ahead of the tournament.
Main sponsors ICRTouch, which paid for this year’s strip, were also at the event to give the squad a final send-off.
At the meeting, Chair of the Isle of Wight Island Games Association Martin Goodall announced that Table Tennis player Daniel Burns would bare the flag at the tournament.
He appeared in Gibraltar the last time time it was hosted there. Speaking exclusively to Isle of Wight Radio he said:
“I’m very fortunate that the reason I’ve been chosen is because I first attended the Gibraltar 1995 games, however many years ago that was!
“So I was 15 years old and I’m nearly 40 now so for me it’s kind of like a full circle and I’m delighted to be going back.”
During each games, a traditional water ceremony is held – the equivalent to the Olympic flame – where each island brings its own water to mix together.
This year, water will be taken from Carisbrooke Castle’s well and presented by father and daughter Rob and Amelie Haworth.
The duo will compete in the mixed doubles Squash event. Rob said:
“I take Amelie to a lot of tournament’s around Europe and England and that’s taking Amelie – so for me to compete with my daughter is something very very special and I’m very proud.”
13-year-old Amelie added:
“It’s a big thing for both of us and it’ll be good that we get to do the doubles tournament together. It’s nothing like we’ve ever done before.”
The Isle of Wight Island Games have launched their new website www.iwiga.co.uk designed and hosted by the island based global EPoS developer ICRTouch. The site was launched with the hopes that the local community will generously help to raise funds for the 2019 island games in Gotland.
At the start of planning for the Gotland Games we identified that the cost of attending would be about double that of attending the previous games in Jersey. There was a fear that this would mean that some talented sports people would miss the opportunity to have their games moment not because they lacked skill or talent but because they lacked the funds. This might be through still being at school or still in education or training and those who live in poverty but find a release and social integration through dedication to their sports.
At the 2015 NatWest Island Games in Jersey our shooting teams performed at the highest level gaining a total of 20 medals across all shooting disciplines. The Ladies Clay Shooting team won 6 of those medals across team and individual disciplines with 3 of those being Gold including both the English Sporting and Sport Trap Team competitions.
Qualifying to represent the Island at a games can be a very special moment in a sporting career. Doing it twice is a brilliant achievement. But doing it for the second time 28 years after the first and in a completely different sport may just be unique!
Dawn Hodge was born on the Isle of Wight and attended Bembridge Primary School, Forelands Middle and Sandown High School. She was sporty from an early age and was a member of the Vectis swimming club, Ryde Harriers and Shanklin and Sandown Rowing Club. She represented the Island in both hockey and netball as well as athletics.
What does it take to be a swimmer for the Isle of Wight in the NatWest Island Games? In short, it takes a lot of hard work and commitment. Megan King gets up early, she is the the pool for training at 6am, 3 times a week, swimming for 1.5 hours before heading to school and then 4 times a week she is back in the pool after school or in the evening for a further 2 hours in the water. Her weekends consist of more early morning training or competitions on the mainland.
Team Isle of Wight needs your backing to compete at the games, and with options to donate a little each month or a kind one off, every penny counts, not just to the team but to the individual competitors.

USDA’s Agricultural Analysis Service (ARS) has begun avian influenza vaccination trials that could be efficient towards the lethal virus in one other 18 to 24 months.
Extremely pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), also known as “chicken flu,” has been on a rampage for the previous yr ensuing within the lack of 58 million birds and inflating egg costs. Fears are constructing across the chance that HPAI will grow to be an everyday seasonal occasion and that the virus could also be current in not solely wild birds however home flocks. Additionally, it’s more and more being detected in mammals.
USDA experiences testing one vaccine from Zoetis, one from Merck Animal Well being, and two of its personal from the Agriculture Analysis Service.
USDA’s Animal and Plant Well being Inspection Service (APHIS) regulates veterinary biologics, together with animal vaccines. APHIS critiques and approves vaccine candidates to make sure they’re secure, potent, pure, efficient, and well-matched towards the genetics of the present virus pressure.
USDA experiences that its “ARS researchers are at the moment testing a number of vaccine candidates. Preliminary knowledge from the animal research with a single dose of the vaccine are anticipated to be accessible in Might 2023. The researchers count on to have two-dose vaccine problem research with ends in June 2023.”
“Ought to the trials achieve success, and will USDA elect to proceed growth, the following step is figuring out producers eager about vaccine manufacturing,” USDA continued. “As soon as a number of producers are recognized, there are 20 discrete levels to finish earlier than vaccine supply. These levels start with feasibility work by the producer and culminate with product label submission and evaluation. Common timeframes are 2.5 to three years; nonetheless, in emergency conditions producers might expedite growth, leading to a shortened timeframe to licensure.
“From vaccine growth to manufacturing timelines, to dissemination to flocks, there are lots of components that make implementing a vaccine technique a problem and it will take time to ship an efficient vaccine,” it added. “In a best-case state of affairs, USDA estimates an 18-24 month timeline earlier than having a vaccine that matches the at the moment circulating virus pressure, is offered in industrial portions, and may be simply administered to industrial poultry.”
Up till now, USDA has combated chicken flu with industrial chicken monitoring, illness surveillance, documentation of home and worldwide commerce, indemnity funds, and training and steering on cleansing, disinfection, and disposal. the destruction of flocks is used to regulate spreading.
USDA has insisted that its “present technique of stamping out and eradicating HPAI continues to be the simplest technique as a result of it really works.”
There are, nonetheless, indications that USDA has been gradual on vaccines. France has 80 million doses of vaccine being delivered for a fall vaccination program for its geese. And after the 2014-15 chicken flu outbreak, Zoetis mentioned it provided a vaccine to USDA, but it surely went unused.
Vaccine trials are a primary step and USDA is beneath no obligation to in the end approve any makes use of.
In the meantime, the federal Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention (CDC) continues to report that ” the general threat to human well being related to the continued (Avian Influenza) outbreaks in wild birds and poultry has not modified and stays low at the moment.”

The first time I heard Laura Marling’s New Romantic, I felt cheated. Somehow, myself and the world around me had hid this amazing singer/songwriter from me; Marling made me believe in the power and beauty of a woman, a voice and a guitar once again.
Like Joni Mitchell and Carole King before her, and Florence Welch and Amy Winehouse in contemporary music, Marling is an all-round talent; vocally and lyrically, she carries herself with tenderness and creative strength. Her latest record, A Creature I Don’t Know, is testament to the young (three EPs and three full-length albums at the age of twenty-one) Marling’s creative endowment.
The dark country of The Muse opens the record and we find Marling is utilizing less of her exquisite Southern England accent than her previous work, though this shouldn’t put off fans, both potential and new. I Was Just A Card is beautifully sparse, growing into intense rolls of drums and smoky, subtle horns; to compare A Creature I Don’t Know to her earlier work- like New Romantic (2007)- is to see massive changes in Marling’s creative persona; her voice has less British twang, her language is less colloquial, her voice is stronger, but with the same husky vocalisation.
The gorgeous sway of Don’t Ask Me Why is like a Hollywood torch song bred with someone like Jewel’s finer work, as is the storytelling lyricism and Bob Dylan-style enunciation of Salinas. The Beast‘s papery guitar strings sail into big rock and roll smashes; guitar riffs and noodling like fire, accompanied by biting lyrics: “I give you the best advice I can/ What I suggest is you be grateful there’s no blood on my hands, and assume yourself weaker to the fall of man”
In My Friends, amid chorale-style backing vocals and speedy, raspy guitar, Marling’s voice becomes substantially sweeter; more jovial, though the subject matter is similar to that of the rest of the record: confusion, guilt, wonderment.
Single Sophia grows in intensity slowly; beginning with Marling’s coy drawl, the background “ooohs” return to lay a foundation for the song’s blossoming into a country-folk fiesta with sliding guitar sounds and a big ol’ sing-along and flourish at song’s end.
The album ends with All My Rage and Marling’s lilting fun-folk hoedown vocals, channelling a sort of Irish jig vocal melded with Americana gospel-country; the refrain “I leave my rage to the sea and sun” breaking one’s heart to hear. Get into it.

An apostrophe is a funny thing. Just repositioning it can change meaning significantly.
This Sunday is Mother’s Day, but for me it’s Mothers’ Day. It’s a day I celebrate three extraordinary moms: my birthmom, my mom, and the mama of my four kiddos. (Few know that since 1990, Birth Mother’s Day has been celebrated the preceding Saturday.)
I wouldn’t be here if not for the incredible decision of my precious birthmom. When people talk about those fringe cases, the ones people always use to demand limitless abortion, they’re talking about me. Through no fault of my own, I’m told (even sometimes to my face by pro-abortion activists) that I should’ve been aborted. My birthmom served in the military and had the option to legally abort her child conceived in the horrific violence of rape. But she saved me. She didn’t “give me up”; she gave me a life filled with beautiful possibility through the merciful and hopeful act of adoption. Her courage made me possible.
My amazing mom, once temporarily abandoned at the age of five, discovered her purpose in life while staying in a children’s home. During the year her parents were separated, God joined her heart with the hearts of so many broken children in that home who desperately wanted to be loved. She made a promise to God that she would be a mom to those who didn’t have one. Her story (you can hear an exclusive interview here) is truly movie-worthy. As the child of an alcoholic, her trajectory defied what “should have been.” Her childhood brokenness turned into breakthrough as she devoted her life to loving those wrongly written off as “unwanted.” I was the first one she chose to love through (“transracial”) adoption. America was just emerging from the Civil Rights Era. She and my dad had hoped that the world, through the sacrifices of so many who fought for racial equality, would embrace a family of white and black. To this day, people are still fixated with the hue of skin. But her courage made our diverse Christian family of white, black, “biracial”, Native American, Vietnamese and some with physical and learning disabilities…possible.

Diane Kruger, Zac Posen, Proenza Schouler, Armani Prive (PacificCoastNews.com, Imax Tree)
Designers leaned toward the East for Fall 2012, their inspiration manifesting itself in the form of rich brocades, obi belts, and painterly florals. Interpretations ranged from Jason Wu's grandiose tongue-in-cheek Chinoiserie to Proenza Schouler's sporty kimono jackets.
As always, Hollywood's leading ladies were the first to try the new trend, with stars like Jessica Alba and Taylor Swift showing us precisely how it's done.
(Imax Tree)Giorgio Armani's Japanese-inspired Privé collection for fall masterfully applied traditional geisha elements to pantsuits and sultry gowns. Philip Treacy's head pieces were icing on the visually dynamic cake.
(Getty)Jessica Alba was the first to wear one of Armani's couture creations. She was the perfect amalgamation of sophistication and artistry in this velvet-clad number at the designer's hotel opening. Brilliant.
(Imax Tree)Jacquards, bright obis, and geisha-inspired 'dos conveyed Zac Posen's theme loud and clear. Of course, the designer would never leave out his signature staples of crisp taffeta, nipped waists, and mermaid trains, which offered an (occasionally campy) Old Hollywood vibe.
(Getty)Never the wallflower, Katy Perry's hot pink hair and Vivienne Westwood gown at the 2011 American Music Awards had people talking. The British designer's dress was inspired by a Chinese floral painting and featured a popular Communist slogan translated to Green Economy. The verdict is still out on whether this was intentional or not.
(Imax Tree)The boys of Proenza Schouler also brought a taste of the East to the catwalk in the form of sporty asymmetrical layers that channeled karate and kimonos. Oh, and it should be mentioned that Yoko Ono provided the soundtrack to the edgy show.
(Getty)Even country music's sweetheart, Taylor Swift, took to the movement with her Zuhair Murad Grammys gown. The gold dragon-emblazoned Mandarin collar design was an unexpected choice, but you have to love a sartorial surprise like this.
Imax TreeFashion's golden boy, Jason Wu, kicked off NYFW with a bang. Literally. Well, in this case the crash of a cymbal. "I almost wanted to poke fun at [Asian influence] a little bit by interpreting it through stereotypes," the designer explained, "But also by incorporating all of that in a way that is elegant and powerful at the same time." Mission accomplished.
GettyWu's biggest fan, Diane Kruger, put her own spin on one of the designer's fall looks by wearing this strong-shouldered cape...without pants. She managed to avoid looking costume-y and enchanted us with her chameleon style prowess.

Donald Trump takes the oath of office: With his hand on a Lincoln Bible, Donald John Trump, who had never held public office, was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States of America. The oath was administered by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
Posts Tagged ‘ Barack Obama ’
Fox News commentator Judge Jeanine Pirro is outraged that Barack Hussein Obama would suggest that Russian hackers were responsible for the defeat of pathological liar Hillary Clinton in the November election. Obama has made it clear that he’s not satisfied with Trump’s victory and will use his politicized CIA to delegitimize Trump’s win.
Midnight rules are troubling because outgoing Administrations, no longer accountable to the voters, issue a slew of politically motivated rules. Earlier this week, I joined with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and all House committee chairmen in urging officials in the Obama Administration to halt finalization of pending rules during the Administration’s final days.
Since the first bitter and protracted battles over this policy, the Hyde amendment has generally, if begrudgingly, been accepted as the status quo. President Bill Clinton — who supported partial-birth abortion — and President Barack Obama — who pledged to veto a bill protecting children born alive after abortion, both consistently signed the Hyde amendment into law.
A rare point of universal agreement in all this trenchant political acrimony: No matter what you think of Donald Trump, the political environment in which the flashy real estate mogul has so brilliantly thrived was created entirely by President Obama. This explains the president’s truly bizarre performance during his graduation speech Sunday.
Andrew Klavan provides Americans with a three-minute video explaining Obama’s policies in the Middle East for those too stupid to understand the “nuances” of Obama’s political philosophy.
Sen. Cruz Releases Fifth Legal Limit Report about the Obama Administration’s Attempts to Expand Federal PowerJul 2nd, 2014 | By fyork
“When President Obama’s own Supreme Court nominees join their colleagues in unanimously rejecting his Administration’s call for broader federal power twenty times since Obama took office, the inescapable conclusion is that the Obama Administration’s view of federal power knows virtually no bounds,” said Sen. Cruz.
Millionaire homosexual activist Tim Gill, former owner of Quark Software, has vowed to put $25 million into targeting five states for political action during the next five years.
Gill hopes to turn states like Mississippi into rainbow colored havens for homosexuals, cross-dressers, transvestites and transsexuals – just like he’s done in Colorado and numerous northeastern states.
California Congressman Devin Nunes (a GING-PAC endorsed legislator) was on “The Kelly File” last week to discuss the Muslim terrorist attack on our facility in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.
Nunes was on to respond to the latest Senate report on Benghazi that clearly reveals that the Obama Administration knew the attack was an Al Qaeda-linked assault on the facility — where four men – including our U.S. Ambassador was killed.
Former GING-PAC Congressman Allen West and Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) react to John Kerry’s claims about Obama’s goal of attacking the sovereign nation of Syria over the alleged use of chemical weapons.

THE NEIGHBOR ZOMBIE (2010)
I caught a free showing of this last night and I wasn't really expecting much since it's a new zombie movie, the trailer is kinda crappy and it has a pretty stupid title. Fortunately it's from Korea and supposedly Korea's very first zombie film and since I can't think of another one off the top of my head I'll go with that. The movie goes the anthology route and consists of six shorts stories which is a good idea since that doesn't leave a lot of time to get bored. The other cool thing about this is that each segment has a different tone so we go from bloody/comedy type stuff, to gore to action movie territory with some kung-fu fighting thrown in and you even get some more dramatic elements with a story of a lady who keeps her zombified mom chained-up in the spare room and another one about a couple of zombies in love. The movie was shot for about $18,000 so you don't get any epic battle scenes and the FX work is pretty minimal but the clear effort and enthusiasm you can see that went into this makes up for that, once again proving that if you want to see something new that's halfway decent all you have to do is look outside the U.S.

MAKE PEACE WITH FOOD 1:1 COACHING
Strong and compassionate support to help you get off the diet-binge rollercoaster and heal the relationship with your body.
MAKE PEACE WITH FOOD COACHING
Make peace with food is a dedicated 1:1 coaching for women like you, who hit rock bottom when it comes to food and dieting.
> You know there’s more to life than food and counting calories. And yet, you can’t seem to stop thinking about food, eating and planning your next trip to the shops.
> There’s something inside telling you that diets don’t work for you. At this point, you’re noticing there’s something inside pushing you in front of the fridge. However, you’re finding it hard to grasp it and you need help to explore it.
It supports you to start moving:
FROM bingeing and overeating on a regular basis, feeling defeated and guilty afterwards.
TO living a life where anxiety and guilt around food decreases and you can enjoy it in ways that feel good and kinder to your body.
There’s no amount of food that can feed a hungry heart.
– Geneen Roth
THIS IS WHAT THE MAKE PEACE WITH FOOD 1:1 COACHING HELPS YOU WITH
ARE YOU STUCK IN THE DIET-BINGE CYCLE?
From time to time, we all experience painful feelings and stressful situations which are difficult to deal with.
For you, this might be creating the urge to eat, which hits you like a wave. It pushes you eat a large amount of food in one go. Probably, that same food you normally don’t give yourself permission to eat.
Your blame yourself badly for overeating, you feel guilty, ashamed for giving in to food one more time.
To make up for overeating, you try and restrict your food intake, which creates more emotional distress. It makes you feel like you are a problem to fix, leading to another binge.
The cycle repeats itself again and again.
The good news is it’s possible to break this cycle and make peace with food!
What if you..
Could deal with your emotions instead of running from them and finding comfort in food?
Let go of strict rules around your food choices?
Eat mindfully, savouring your food, and not end up overeating all the time?
Fully enjoy all the social events involving food with no worry, restriction or compensation afterwards?
Stopping worrying about what others think about your body or the food you eat?
Trusting your body when making your food choices instead of looking for guidance in a diet book?
Feeling comfortable in your skin and open to new life and career opportunities?
What's getting in the way
There are common things getting in the way of women making peace with food and driving the change they want:
- Focusing too much on the end result. It feels like climbing like Mount Everest when you look at it from where you are now.
- Not making the time to do the inner work, to reflect on what’s really causing the status quo (which might not be the food on your plate or the lack of exercise).
- Trying a one size fits all solution, an approach that doesn’t take into account your unique story, needs, preferences and circumstances.
- Fearing you’re gonna fail, because you have tried to accomplish that same result several times. You’re convinced there’s nothing else you can do: it’s always going to be this way.
- Looking for fast change, so you can move on to other important stuff and forget about it. Change requires time.
- Wanting to change everything all at once, which makes it impossible for you to put 100% of your focus and effort on nothing in particular.
How to move forward
Your needs are different. So is your path to healing. What will help you more forward and reap benefits that last is:
- Making the change you want in the relationship with food and your body it’s a journey made of days. It’s made of little moments, simple efforts, tiny but consistent changes in your habits and your mindset.
- Every change you implement is a piece of a jigsaw to put together, day after day to create a different life.
- It’s about creating a life fueled by a different mindset and routines. Not just a different body.
- Focusing on changing the inside before the outside. Because the puzzle is yours and, for that reason, completely different from someone else’s.
- Learning to finally see food for what it is: just food.
- You feel free from the food obsession, the urge to eat at any time, from having to track calories, or count the minutes on the treadmill to burn off your last snack.
The four focus areas of the Make Peace with Food Coaching
1. GET CLEAR ON THE ROOT CAUSES
Becoming aware of how you have used food and dieting to cope with problems can be life changing.
The lasting change brought by awareness of what’s really causing the issue, is far more important than the actions driven by mere habit change.
We focus on why you’re using food the way you’re doing, so that you finally stop going back to your old ways time and time again.
It’s the first step in your healing journey. The groundwork which will reap many more long-lasting benefits than a diet program ever will.
2. LEARN OTHER WAYS TO DEAL WITH EMOTIONS
When you don’t know how to handle difficult situations, and the feelings that come with them, you might have learned to just go for food.
Bingeing and overeating have come to the rescue by distracting you from the problems in your life.
We’ll sit together to identify the other ways you can deal with the stress and the overwhelm in your daily life.
You’ll be able to explore practising self-compassion in a safe and non-judgmental space. This way, you will stop using food as an emotional crutch or feeling bad about the way you eat all the time.
3. DEVELOP KINDNESS FOR YOUR BODY
Accept your body and treating it with kindness is another fundamental step in your healing journey.
You like to be kind to others and encourage them to take care of themselves. But, are you practicing the same kindness toward yourself and your body?
We’ll look at the mindsets holding you back, and create a practical plan to help you prioritise your mental and physical wellbeing.
You’ll also learn how to let go of some very stubborn beliefs that come from a diet mentality (for example, that ‘beautiful body= thin body’).
4. BECOME A MINDFUL AND MORE INTUITIVE EATER
If you binge and overeat, learning to eat more mindfully and to listen to what your body tells you is a skill for life.
It’s like a muscle that can be built and strengthened day after day, meal after meal.
I help you build your own toolbox of mindful practices you can draw from at any time.
Among many other things, you’ll learn to:
- Read the body signals of hunger and fullness;
- Slow down and enjoy the food you like with all your senses;
- Stop labelling food as good or bad.
This is not for you if:
- You’re looking for weight-loss advice, an exercise plan or accountability to support your weight-loss goals.
- You are currently not open to explore alternative ways to look after your wellbeing, which don’t involve the pursuit of weight-loss or following strict dietary plans.
What you can expect
Twice-monthly calls with me to work together and build a kinder and more enjoyable realationship with food and body.
I’m here for you to run things by, look things over for you, lend a helping hand when the going gets tough and offer my guidance as you navigate your food & body freedom journey.
There is a minimum commitment of 3 months but once that’s over, you can stay with me as long as you like or you can cancel any time. For the logistics and price tag see below.
→ Two 90 min sessions per month
→ Follow-up email with useful resources after the sessions.
→ Spot-coaching for emergencies (this is where we might hop on for 20 minutes for support between sessions) or connect via email.
→ Minimum commitment of 3 months (so we can get some traction from your efforts!).
I hold you hand. We’ll do the journey together and you’ll make peace with food.
250 euros / month
Minimum commitment of 3 months (so we can get some traction from your efforts!)
I know, that’s less expensive than many other professionals at my level are charging. That is a conscious choice on my part.
I have experienced on my own skin what it means to deal with eating distress and body dissatisfaction. I don’t believe that getting support to work on such an important area of your life should cost a fortune or put you in debt.
Apply for Make Peace with Food 1:1 Coaching
If you would like to discuss the opportunity to work together, please make sure to click on the ‘Apply for Coaching‘ button below and fill into the application form.
If a coaching spot is available and I believe that it could be a match between the support you’re looking for and what I offer, then I will invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching session with me.
This will not be a discovery session to talk about working together.
It’s an obligation free, deep dive into you and your current relationship with food & body.
If by the end of the call we both feel excited by the idea of moving forward, then we’ll schedule a separate call to discuss working together.
If that sounds like a good plan to you, then go ahead and click the button below to submit your application today.
How do I know if this is for me?
The Make Peace with Food 1:1 Coaching is the right support if you:
- Regularly reach for food to cope with painful emotions/stressful situations, feeling guilty after eating.
- Have noticed a powerful force that pushes you in front of the fridge which you seem to have zero control on.
- Experience strong cravings on a regular basis.
- Have come to the conclusion that diets are not the solution and don’t get you the results you are looking for.
- Are ready to make a change and open to explore alternative ways of relating to food, your body and your emotions.
- Find yourself in recovery from a binge eating disorder, and feel like you need support on your recovery.
I invite you to fill in the application form here.
This will be the first step to connect. If a coaching spot is available and I believe it’s a match between the support you’re looking for and what I’m best at, then I will invite you to connect on a Zoom call. This way you’ll get the chance to experience what it would be like to have me as your coach. You can also ask all the questions that can help you get a better understanding.
We might find out this is a good fit for you at this time.
And if we don’t, that’s fine too. It’ll be an opportunity to connect and get to know each other, and I might be able to refer you to another trusted professional that could be a better fit.
How long it will take for me to see results?
My answer is: I can’t guarantee you how long it will take.
As much as I cannot guarantee that one day everything will magically be solved, and from that day on it’ll all be perfectly easy.
Be wary of anyone promising a date when you will cross the finish line – and Poof! every problem will vanish. Nobody has got that magic wand.
However, I believe that three months are a good period of time to start creating an impact in the way you relate to food.
Both timing and results are, undoubtedly, very different from person to person.
No program or path will be successful unless you genuinely want to change and you’re willing to try different ways to do things.
It’s certainly possible to enjoy eating again without guilt or regret; it’s possible to go back to eating happily with others. But, I COULD NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, it requires patience and commitment, along with the willigness to try different ways to relate to food and your body.
Do you offer single sessions?
I like to be honest, I believe that only by committing to a longer period of time we can see change happen.
It takes time, patience and the commitment to work both during our sessions together and in between the sessions.
For this reason, I don’t take clients for single sessions.
Our journey together needs to be a win-win for both, and that can’t happen over one single meeting.
I do offer single sessions, though, to those who have already done some coaching with me and feel like they need one or more top-up sessions to support they journey or get clarity on a specific matter.
How does the coaching work?
We start our journey together with an in-depth look at what is the change you want to implement in your relationship with food and your body.
Then, we explore together what is happening right now, that’s causing suffering and frustration, preventing you from having a satisfying and relaxed eating experience. I want us to get into as much detail as possible about what you feel, think and do when food is around or when you don’t feel happy about your body.
The focus for each session will be led by you. You’ll decide what you need most from our session together. Whether it’s support to understand how to deal with the urge to binge, tune into your body to decide what and when to eat, or challenge some pressing thoughts about what your body should look like, we’ll work through it together.
I’m fully committed to be there, listen and help you:
- Get clarity on your triggers;
- Try alternative ways to food to deal with feelings and situations;
- Identify how you can be kinder towards yourself and your body;
- Learn practices that are common amongst mindful and intuitive eaters.
After each session, I might also share via email some resources to help you progress and keep your motivation high all throughout the time we’ll spend together.
What support do you offer in between sessions?
You play a big part and this process. And I fully trust that you are capable of making wise decisions when it comes to your body.
However, I understand that in the time we’re not together you might have questions or encounter resistance in taking the steps we might have agreed during the sessions.
For this reason I’m available via email in between the sessions, to answer any questions or offer support and accountability, if needed.
You won’t be doing this alone. I’ll be there every step of the way.
When you start your personal healing journey, there’ll be moments where you might become discouraged at the pace you’re going. You might look at your body to find physical evidence of your progress, or fail to see immediate changes in your eating habits.
It may seem as though you’re getting nowhere. Especially if you are used to measuring progress by looking at a number on the scale or the size of our jeans.
It’s important to have the support of someone who can help you see that what you have accomplished might be at an emotional and mental level, and hasn’t manifested physically. In time, it might.
As you learn to recognise and express your feelings, allowing your body to tell you when and what to eat, when to exercise, and when to rest, your body will slowly, but steadily, find the weight that is right for you. You’ll reach a better balance between food, mind and body.
What if I still want to lose weight?
I understand that you may be feeling uncomfortable in your body. The idea of pursuing wellbeing without dieting might feel new and scary right now.
If you followed diets before, it’s perfectly normal to hold the belief that weigh loss will allow you to have all the life experiences and the opportunities you desire. For example, the confidence, success and happiness in many areas of your life.
You have my deepest compassion as you experience the pressure of the diet culture to reach the ‘thin’ ideal body. Believe me, I know how it feels.
My promise is to help you create a more fulfilling and enjoyabe relationship with food, regardless of your shape and size. To help you focus on the behaviours and practices that have kept you from feeling the best you can, both physically and emotionally.
I believe that focusing on a mere weight loss goal will interfere with your ability to make choices based on your body signals and it’s something that this program won’t be able to support you with.
I want, instead, to help you see how, by letting go of diets, you will find yourself eating the amount of food that your body actually needs, wanting to experience gentle movement in your life.
You will experience peaceful eating, rather than the chronic background anxiety creeping behind every food choice.
“At the start of the Covid lockdown in 2020, I went to my Doctor where I had a very honest conversation about my eating habits and more importantly my binging habits.
Dona provided me with a safe, non-judgemental space to share with her confidentially and work through my thoughts and behaviours. She is one of very few people I felt safe sharing with.
Moreover, she provided me with some valuable feedback around her observations and experience and really helped me move forward through the work we did together over 4 sessions.
I feel much more confident about the direction I am now heading in and relieved to be free of the false beliefs I held from following so many diets over the years. Looking forward to having another session in a few months to check in and keep me on track.”
I’d love to support you through this!
I’m Dona. I’m a Psychologist & Eating Coach.
My mission is to show you it’s possible for you to enjoy food without overeating or feeling out of control.
Truth is I spent more that 20 years of my life fixating with food and eating my feelings alive. I was a chronic binge eater.
Food was a huge source of worry and guilt for all those years.
It stood as a block between me and the important things I wanted to achieve in many areas of my life. There’s a blog article I wrote about it. You can read here.
By developing a more mindful approach to life and learning to tune into my body on a deeper level, I managed to get out of the cage I had built for myself.
I’m here to take your hand and help you do the same.
“Before working with Dona I would regularly skip breakfast, snack on toast and tea, and basically run on empty.
During our sessions, I felt Dona held the space which allowed me to open up and to really be honest about my relationship with food. I was heard, understood, and appreciated.
She gave me lots of time to think through all our sessions and while I am still learning, I am now more mindful when I eat. I think about the taste and how the food or drink makes my body feel. Slowing down and enjoying the process.
Our check-in’s in between sessions were very enjoyable; this gave me more confidence to work towards my end goal. I felt the process had a natural flow. Dona is an exceptional coach. And I look forward to working with her again.
