Monday, August 20, 2012
I had a great 10 1/2 mile run this morning, felt good, threw some strides in, maybe I'm so out of it that I really didn't use my brain, which made the run seem so much easier. Or maybe I don't have a brain anymore, lost it over the weekend, and as a result I'm running a few pounds lighter.
It is about 20 degrees cooler than it has been for most of the summer. The seasons are finally changing. That feels miraculous too.
I haven't been blogging simply because there isn't a lot of exciting stuff to report, I've been hiding out from the world. Actually I've been putting more time into work-related things lately, studying at home and doing a few extra shifts at work is all. Some more exciting stuff will be happening soon that I can blog about, but for now, I'm keeping it to a minimum.
I do have quite a few rants building, given the onslaught of the U.S. election season B.S. I don't have a TV, thankfully, so I'm not subjected to the insults to my intelligence in my own home unless I search for them on the Internet.
Topics include health care, labor, nursing-related topics, firing every member of Congress, and more obesification-related topics, so as I get fired up on my long runs I'll be pounding away at the keyboard during my recovery.
My fatigue has been letting up, I'm throwing some short bursts of speed into my workouts and achieving some consistency, though I'm not doing much for mileage. That part of my training will pick up soon, as of September.
For now I'm enjoying the laid-back life of a 5K runner.

By late afternoon, the meeting hall had cleared of about half of its attendees, but that's when the folksy friendliness of the day left the room, and the confrontation seen at many other shareholder meetings took the stage, or the floor, as it were.
The issue: Berkshire Hathaway's ownership of 30 percent of A and B shares in PetroChina, whose controlling shareholder, China National Petroleum Corp., conducts business in Sudan. No fewer than five people (four shareholders, including one pastor who invoked "Jesus" in his speech, and a Sudanese) took the mic to argue that the investment was an endorsement of the genocide taking place in Sudan.
Buffett maintained his support for Berkshire's stake in PetroChina by arguing that a holding cannot dictate policy to its controlling shareholder, although the reverse may be true, noting of Berkshire holding Wesco, "We can tell Wesco what to do, but Wesco cannot tell Berkshire what to do."
"I agree 100 percent with the fact that's what's happening in the Sudan should not be happening," he said. "But i don't think it's worth selling the shares. They would be sold to somebody else. The price of the stock would go down."
He concluded, "It is China that has a policy of being partners with Sudan, and it is not PetroChina at all."
And then Charlie Munger, Buffett's largely silent partner up on the podium, chimed in, "China is a remarkably rising nuclear power. Who should say how the Americans should react to China." Of the Sudan, he said, "There's a lot of cruelty and always has been. Nobody's in favor of cruelty but there's a limit to how much you can fix."

text: Nine-year big league veteran Dave Bush has been working as a Red Sox pitching development analyst for the last year, as the Boston Herald’s Jason Mastrodonato details in this look at Bush’s duties within the organization. Bush sees his role as helping bridge the gap between the analytics department and young pitchers who may be being exposed to such information for the first time. “Baseball is not known for accepting change in a hasty manner. But I also think there’s also a benefit for someone like me, who has been a player,” Bush said. “I’m comfortable having that conversation. And it’s my responsibility to present information to them because I think it’s going to make them better.” Bush’s duties are part of president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski’s plan to overhaul how the Sox select and develop young pitchers, as the club has been notably short on homegrown arms over the last decade.

Williamson's Logan Everett learned a valuable lesson at PIAAs
March 6, 2012 - Mitch Rupert
By MITCH RUPERT firstname.lastname@example.org
No need to remind Logan Everett of his PIAA quarterfinal match from a year ago. He’s well aware that the wrestler he lost to by one point went on to finish second in the 103-pound bracket.
It was a valuable lesson for the now junior from Williamson. Although, it was a costly one. Everett followed that quarterfinals loss with a second-round consolation loss to Saucon Valley’s Bryan Israel, eliminating him from his first state tournament without a medal. Boiling Springs’ Joey Byers went on to win his semifinal by a point before losing in the state final by two points to Kittanning’s Jason Nolf, who is now ranked third in the country.
“I learned you have to be ready, and every kid is good,” Everett said after finishing second at the PIAA Class AA Northeast Regional at 120 pounds on Saturday. “Just because you don’t know their name doesn’t mean they’re not just as good or better than you are. There’s nobody down there that’s not any good, so every match you’re going to have to work hard.”
The loss to Byers really was a well-wrestled match for Everett. He recorded the first takedown against the then junior, something not a lot of people did. Everett then rode Byers out the entire second period and was leading, 2-0, with 2 minutes to go.
But then Everett’s biggest trouble at states kicked in. Not only was he tilted early for three back points, but he couldn’t get out from the bottom to tie the score. It’s six minutes of wrestling Everett hasn’t been able to get out of his mind. It’s what’s driven him to take advantage of his opportunities this year.
“You think about that every day of your life, what you could have done for that one point difference that could have put you in the state finals or given you a shot at the state title,” Everett said. “You think about it every day and it helps you better yourself because you can’t forget it. All you can do is work to better yourself and get back to that spot again.”
Everett spent the better part of his offseason working on getting out from the bottom position. He’s pleased with how he’s improved so far, but he knows he’s not quite to the level he needs to be.
That thought was proven true just a couple weeks ago when he went through six minutes of regulation tied at 0-0 with Mifflinburg freshman Cole Walter in the District 4 120-pound final. After a pair of tremendous scrambles in the second period in which he was able to hold Walter down, Everett needed just one escape to get the win but couldn’t come up with it. Walter ended up scoring a takedown in sudden victory for the 2-0 win.
“I really had to focus on getting out of bottom. That’s how I ended up losing at the state tournament,” Everett said. “I’ve done better, but not as good as I’d like to. But you have to get out of the best kids in the state. That’s where it really gets tough and you still have to be able to get out.”
Everett was a darkhorse contender for a medal a year ago, but he enters the state tournament Thursday as the fifth-ranked 120-pounder in he state. And of the four wrestlers ranked ahead of him, the only one on his side of the bracket is Bethlehem Catholic’s Zeke Moisey, a returning state fifth-place finisher. But his side of the bracket also features returning state qualifier Jarray Norris of Sharon who is 39-0. And his preliminary round match is against returning state qualifier Nate Reckner of South Side Beaver who is 38-5.
“They put you in that bracket and it’s every man for himself now,” Everett said. “Everybody is worn out right now. You can’t talk to a kid who’s not sore somewhere. This last two or three weeks is really hard on your body. It’s a relief to finally get here.”

At ICSEF we train young women with a bachelor’s degree in gastronomy. Support us to grow our restaurant school.
La Terraza restaurant school is a venture of the Institution of Higher Education ICSEF to help the professionalization of rural women in economic, geographic and social vulnerability. From the institution’s workshops, the students prepare Colombian dishes, mainly lunches, for the academic community, as well as for diners in the municipality of Silvania in the Sumapaz Province. Currently, the demand for lunches is increasing, so it is necessary to have a means of transportation: a motorcycle, which allows direct distribution of gastronomic products.
This project is based on the academic training model that the students receive, which is based on the Swiss dual model of: Learning by doing. La Terraza is able to generate income from the transformation of food during the learning process, which will be used for the benefit of the students. Likewise, it also requires necessary inputs for production in the training process such as uniforms and culinary utensils.
In ICSEF we transform young Colombian women with higher technical education in gastronomy.

It can be annoying when people tell you how to watch a movie. That’s why I don’t care about spoilers, because a person should be allowed to know exactly what they want to know before they see a movie. Want to know everything? Great. Want to know nothing? Awesome. Either way, it’s on the individual viewer to decide. It’s also why I don’t like it when a movie is available only in 3D. What if I don’t care to see it in 3D, which I never do? Just let me decide how much I want to pay and what kind of experience I’m going to have.
That said, I’m going to tell you how to watch Cabin in the Woods.
Don’t read anything. Don’t even bother with the trailer if you haven’t seen it yet. I can’t review this movie without giving away something you are really, truly, better off not knowing. So here’s my review of Cabin in the Woods: Yes, it’s well worth your time and money. I highly recommend it. Whatever you think it is, it’s not that. It’s better. Funnier, scarier, WTF-ier. Long-time Joss Whedon underling Drew Goddard (co-writer of this film and writer of Cloverfield) makes his directorial debut and he acquits himself well. Whedon co-wrote the script and his fingerprints are all over it. When it was over, I turned to T and said, “That got me really excited for The Avengers.” But in and of itself, Cabin in the Woods is really…you just need to see it for yourself. And the less you know going in, the more you’re going to like it.
Now, let’s talk about Joss Whedon and why he’s amazing, so that in two weeks when The Avengers is finally here (!!!), we don’t have to rehash that yes, Whedon is the best; we can just refer back to this. When he was hired to direct The Avengers two years ago, I was like, Yes, that’s the guy who can make sense of it. And last year I remember someone asking me if I had any concerns about the movie, which had just begun filming, and I said, No—it’s Joss Whedon, and I never worry about Joss Whedon. I also remember throwing into at least one, if not all, of my Comic Con previews for LaineyGossip that Whedon’s annual panel is always worth attending because whatever he’s on about now, everyone else will be doing in future. Whedon is one of those guys who live ahead of the curve.
I come by my love of Whedon honestly. I watched and liked Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a kid, but I fell in love with Whedon as an auteur when I watched the ill-fated Firefly on TV. I’m not a sci-fi person, but goddamn I love that show about space pirate-cowboys. It was on Fox, who treated it abominably, and I followed it through schedule changes, episode switches, and finally, its untimely end. It was my first TV heartbreak, the first time I loved a show so much that I went around saying, “I don’t get it, I don’t get why everyone isn’t watching this.” Because of Firefly, the similar fates of Arrested Development and Friday Night Lights didn’t wound me too deeply—I was still feeling the loss of Mal Reynolds & Co. Then in 2005 Whedon managed to get out a movie extension of Firefly called Serenity. It remains one of my favorite movies of all time, and is a high-water mark for making a visually gorgeous film on a manageable budget ($40 million).
When it comes to Whedon, there are some expectations. If you’re not familiar with him as a filmmaker and you’re curious about what The Avengers might be like, I recommend watching Serenity and Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog. They’re both on Netflix Instant and between the two of them you can get an idea of where he’ll take a Marvel movie. And if you are a Whedon devotee, you’re worried, right? You’re thinking about it in the back your mind, the fates of Wash and Penny. You should be thinking about Wash and Penny. No one is safe with Whedon. Nothing is sacred. He will make you LOVE and then he will BREAK YOUR HEART. And that’s part of his charm. He isn’t afraid of upsetting his audience. If anything, he loves to upset his audience.
If you’ve not seen Dr. Horrible, please, get on it. It’s only 42 minutes and it stars Neil Patrick Harris and is a musical about a supervillain. It’s unabashedly nerdy, as is everything Whedon does, but another element of his charm is that you don’t have to be a nerd yourself to enjoy it. Again, I don’t like sci-fi, as a thing. But I am devoted to Firefly/Serenity because of the sharp writing and filmmaking (the tracking shot at the beginning of Serenity is a thing of beauty), and the perfectly cast ensemble that brought out the best in one another. This is why I thought Whedon was the best, most natural choice to helm The Avengers—his bread and butter is pulling together an ensemble and making it work in surprising, witty ways.
Joss Whedon has been something of a nerd-world secret for fifteen years, but with The Avengers pushing him into the mainstream, he’s a filmmaker who can’t be marginalized as the geek’s auteur any longer. He is a major, major talent that we need in filmmaking, for his writing, for his wit, for his visual flair. He’s the kind of filmmaker that inspires generations—he already is influencing a new crop of filmmakers for the better. If you think I’m overselling this point, just consider what the Batman movies have done for Christopher Nolan—how much power and pull he has behind him now as the director of a super-successful franchise.
Whedon is a filmmaker who takes a very mainstream product that we all think we know and twists it into something surprising and new. And with so many of the top filmmakers going on about mo-cap, 3D and frames-per-second, we need a guy whose idea of making an interesting movie is to start with a damn good script and turn it into a damn good movie, without the crutch of techie gimmicks. We need Joss Whedon to be that guy, and lucky for us, he already is.

Beaml’s laser cutting machine price for sale in competitive rate comparing with other suppliers . It uses a high-power laser which is directed through optics and cnc to direct the beam or material.
Typically, the process uses a motion control system to follow a CNC or G-code of the pattern that is to cut onto the material. The focused laser beam burns, melts. Vaporizes or blown away by a jet of gas to leave a high-quality surface finished edge. We also sell the laser cutting machine price that client can accept.
The laser beam created by the stimulation of lasing materials through electrical discharges or lamps inside a closed container. The lasing material amplified by reflected internally via a partial mirror until its energy is enough for it to escape as a stream of coherent monochromatic light. This light focused at the work area by mirrors or fiber optics that direct the beam through a lens which intensifies it.
High precision fiber laser cutting
At its narrowest point, a laser beam is typically under 0.0125 inches (0.32 mm) in diameter. But kerf widths as small as 0.004 inches (0.10mm) are possible depending on material thickness.
Where the laser cutting process needs to start anywhere other than the edge of the material, a piercing process is used . whereby a high power pulsed laser makes a hole in the material, for example taking 5-15 seconds to burn through a 0.5-inch-thick (13 mm) stainless steel sheet.
As the name suggests, laser cutters create patterns and designs by cutting into materials. A powerful laser beam is the source that melts, burns, or vaporizes the material.
Essentially, laser cutting is a fabrication process that uses a thin, focused, laser beam to cut . And etch materials into custom designs, patterns, and shapes as specified by a designer. This non-contact, thermal-based fabrication process is ideal for several materials, including wood, glass, paper, metal, plastic, and gemstone. It’s also capable of producing intricate parts without needing a custom-designed tool.
Application and laser cutting machine price in the market
Today, laser cutting has found a home in industries such as electronics, medicine, aerospace, automotive, and semiconductors. One of the most common applications is for cutting metal .Whether its tungsten, steel, aluminum, brass, or nickel – because lasers deliver clean cuts and smooth finishes. Lasers also used for cutting ceramics, silicon, and other non-metals.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing uses of laser cutting technology is in the surgical field, where laser beams are now replacing the scalpel and used to vaporize human tissue. This is especially useful in high-precision surgical procedures like eye surgery.
We’ll talk about more applications in a later section, but for now, let’s see how the laser cutting process works.
Laser head and tolerance and laser cutting machine for sale in a competitive price
The beam is emitted from what’s called the ‘laser tube’ .And is reflected by several mirrors up into the ‘laser head’ (like a periscope.) Within the head is a lens that finely focuses the beam onto the material surface for cutting or engraving.
The kerf refers to how much of the material the laser takes away when cutting through. (the width of the groove made while cutting.) This varies from material to material . And is also dependent on the laser beam tolerance i.e. the width of the beam. All our machines have a very fine tolerance.

A controversial VAR decision overshadowed a damaging defeat for Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur on his latest return to Stamford Bridge as Chelsea bolstered its bid for a Champions League spot with a 2-1 victory Saturday.
Goals for the returning Olivier Giroud and Marcos Alonso had already put Chelsea in command of the London derby when Tottenham’s midfielder Giovani Lo Celso tangled with home captain Cesar Azpilcueta in the 52nd minute.
Lo Celso appeared to deliberately stamp on Azpilicueta’s outstretched leg with his studs but referee Michael Oliver initially waved away Chelsea appeals before VAR officials at their studios in Stockley Park, west London were called into action to scrutinize the challenge.
After a lengthy deliberation, it was ruled that there had been no serious foul play and the Argentine escaped either a yellow or red card much to the dismay of Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, who later described the Lo Celso tackle as a “real leg breaker” which should have been punished.
But later in the second half, broadcaster BT Sport reported that VAR officials had reviewed the decision and admitted that Lo Celso should have been sent off.
The about face was met with derision on social media, with many former top professionals expressing their surprise that Lo Celso had escaped a red card.
Lo Celso was eventually shown a yellow card for a foul on Mason Mount on the edge of the Tottenham penalty area in the 82nd minute. Alonso nearly scored his second and Chelsea’s third as his free kick effort rattled the crossbar, but with a minute remaining the visitor struck with a rare decisive attack.
Substitute Erik Lamela powered into the Chelsea penalty area and his effort was deflected into his own net by defender Antonio Rudiger, leaving for a nervy last few moments for the home side before a vital three points was sealed.
Azpilicueta, sporting an ice pack taped to his leg, was happy with his team’s victory, but incensed by the earlier VAR mistake.
“I’m not a player who likes to be on the floor. I am tough. But it was a clear stamp on my shin, I felt it straight away and was surprised it wasn’t a red card. It wasn’t even a yellow card! Everybody can make a mistake but when you have a lot of replays it should be easier,” he told BT Sport.
Lampard believes that the much-maligned use of VAR in the Premier League needs an urgent overhaul.
“It was a tackle that endangers a player, saying after that they made a mistake isn’t good enough,” he said.
“That’s what VAR was brought in for. It’s a huge question mark on VAR. This one doesn’t need the referee to go to the monitor, it’s a clear decision.”
The victory takes Chelsea four points clear of Tottenham in fourth place, but it was a second straight defeat for the visitor after losing 1-0 to RB Leipzig in the Champions League in midweek.
Mourinho refused to be drawn on the Lo Celso incident, instead praising his team which is lacking a recognized striker after injuries to Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
“I’m so proud of the boys they fought for the last seconds until a result. I cannot ask more from them, especially Lucas, Lo Celso, Bergwijn these boys that are playing every minute and trying to do miracles in positions that are not their positions. I cannot complain,” he said.
Minor consolation came for Tottenham in later fixtures Saturday, holding on to fifth spot as Sheffield United was held 1-1 at home by struggling Brighton, leaving the Blades in sixth on goal difference.
Burnley moved up to eighth with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth with another VAR controversy the main talking point.
The visitor thought it had equalized when Harry Wilson fired home, but after a VAR review Cherries player Adam Smith was penalized for handball at the start of the counter attack and a penalty awarded to the home side, which Jay Rodriguez converted.
Aston Villa remained deep in relegation trouble with a 2-0 defeat at Southampton, Crystal Palace beat Newcastle 1-0, while a late Gabriel Jesus goal gave champion Manchester City a 1-0 win at Leicester City in the late game to cement its grip on second place behind runaway leader Liverpool.

What are the features of purely natural nutritional vitamins?
The body dreams a range of crucial nutritional vitamins to complete properly. Many of us have unbalanced body weight decline designs which implies we are not consuming the organic vitamins that we require to have from the meals that we take in.

H2o-soluble normal natural vitamins (C and the B-elaborate nutritional vitamins) want to dissolve in water ahead of your physique can soak up them and hence your overall overall body will not likely be equipped to retail retail store them. Any drinking water-soluble vitamin that your full body isn’t really going to use as it passes by means of your technique is drop by way of urine. Hence, you need a refreshing offer of these dietary natural vitamins each individual operating day.
If your eating plan routine does not deliver you with the essential purely natural natural vitamins your procedure needs, vitamin supplementation is vital.
Distinctive guys and women of all ages might have distinctive supplementation requirements. For occasion, vegetarians are often deficient in unique nutritional nutritional vitamins that can only be uncovered in animal solutions and alternatives – for them, a distinct vitamin supplement is great. Ironically, there are some vitamin complement production procedures that include animal methods – generally never fail to remember to read through the labels. Artificial vitamin nutritional supplements exist for vegetarians who don’t want to go against their nutritional beliefs.
Youthful tiny children have to have vitamin dietary nutritional supplements as nicely. This is considering the fact that a excellent deal of little youngsters do not consume the types of nourishment that they need to have in their early many decades – a vitamin nutritional dietary supplement can aid compensate for this purely organic deficiency. The greatest suggestion is breast feeding, the most all-natural source of all crucial diet. However, an increasing quantity of ladies are not capable to or unwilling to breast feed, so they use milk formulation. Here is more info regarding beyuna omega 3 review the site.
Today, the majority of toddler milk formulation are supplemented with additional nutritional natural vitamins. As shortly as once again, it is vital to talk about vitamin supplementation with a overall wellbeing skilled right before any motion is taken.
A even more workforce of persons currently who can income from vitamin supplementation are the elderly who put up with from quite a few ailments or well being complications. As we age, it gets a lot more difficult to eat our proposed working day by working day values of nutrition, so supplementation will turn into necessary to stability our vitamin demands.

When James T. Ward arrived in Westminster in the spring of 1866, he fully intended to catalog the 2,000 volumes in his library to lend out to the townspeople of Westminster for a fee, as there was no library in town. However, he soon became involved with what he called the “College Enterprise.”
James T. Ward.
Western Maryland College began in September of 1866, realizing Fayette Buell’s dream of wanting to extend the education of his Westminster Academy students. He enlisted the aid of James T. Ward, a known and respected Methodist Protestant minister, to aid him in his endeavors. Although reluctant at first, because he suspected Buell did not grasp the work and expense such a project entailed, Ward worked diligently on the project. He counseled Buell to be cautious and go slowly as he introduced him to possible benefactors, but Buell still moved forward, buying property and laying the cornerstone for the first building. When money was not forthcoming and enrollment was slow, Buell decided to fold the College back into his Academy.
Fayette Buell and His Family, Bachrack Photographers, Baltimore, Maryland, circa 1870.
The once reluctant Ward became a champion of the nascent College and encouraged the Board of Trustees to buy the College from Buell, which they did. In 1868, Western Maryland College was incorporated, and James T. Ward was elected by the Board as the first president. Ward no longer thought of circulating his library among the townspeople of Westminster, and his books were lent out to students of the College for free. The College advertised this in the first catalogs – “students will have access to libraries comprising 2,500 volumes.” Ward’s library accounted for more than two thirds of the volumes. Students also had access to the collections of their professors’ libraries, and to the magazines, newspapers, and periodicals of their literary societies.
In 1872, the faculty authorized a Reading Room Committee to form an association charged with seeking donations for the College Reading Room. Then again in March of 1874, the faculty took up the cause of a college library when it resolved that “a well-selected and arranged library is indispensable to a literary institution,” and appointed a Library Committee to secure such a collection. The head of the committee was to be the Librarian, and was to report to the faculty the progress of the Library. The first annual report of the Librarian was recorded June 15, 1874, in the Faculty Minutes. By 1879, over 4,000 volumes were available to the College’s students, still mostly from the libraries of Ward and other professors.
The College’s Library languished until 1886, when through the influence of Maryland Congressman Shaw, the College was made the general repository of government documents. A larger area for the library was provided, described in the October 1887 Western Maryland College Monthly as “the Western half of the second story of the main building has served many purposes… It is now a library and museum. The last change is the best of all and has the prospect of permanence.”
Library, circa 1887-1890.

She was Western Maryland College's first exchange student.
When Hering Hall was erected in 1890, a second floor room of over 2,600 square with stacks against the wall and a reading area was provided for a Library, and the number of volumes grew. Ward died in 1897, leaving over half his library to the College, providing an additional 3,000 volumes. With the growth of Library holdings and student’s need for extended hours, the College could no longer rely on a rotation of professors to act as librarians. In 1898, the first professional librarian, Lillian Hopkins, was hired.
Library, circa 1900.
In 1906, College President Thomas H. Lewis went before the Board of Trustees to present an argument for a new Library. In the twenty years of his tenure, the College increased from eight to fourteen acres, four halls were added to the main building, and five new buildings were erected. A new Library was also necessary for the expanding College.
The Library and Administration Building, now Peterson Hall, circa 1909.
The Library and Administration Building, designed by Baltimore Architect Jackson Gott, opened in 1909 and served several purposes. On the main floor was an office for the College Treasurer, a Boardroom, two offices for the President, and a museum. The basement had rooms for the literary societies. The second floor contained the Library and included a large reading room adjoined by a stack room with a mezzanine for more stacks and space for over 25,000 volumes.
Old interior of the Library, date unknown.
The Library continued to build collections and change. When the building was completed in 1909, students no longer learned by recitation; reading, discussion, and discovery were part of new teaching methods, and more books on more subjects were needed to keep up with their classes. By student demand, library books were circulated and evening hours were scheduled. Clara Lewis, Librarian from 1910-1919, sorted and cataloged the Library collection according to the Dewey Decimal system. Assistants who aided the Librarian were added in 1920, and by 1935, there were two Librarians and more assistants. In 1927, the Library began statistical reports to the American Library Association, annual reports to the College President in 1936, and in 1937, The Library Committee became a standing committee of the Faculty.
As the Library grew, the President’s Offices, the Boardroom, and the Treasurer’s Office were reassigned to other buildings. Now-defunct literary societies no longer used the basement, and the building was refitted in 1939 to be the official Library. It was bursting at its seams eleven years later, when College Trustee Walter H. Davis bequeathed $257,000 toward a new College library.

It took another decade, but ground was broken next to Baker Memorial Chapel for a new library in April of 1961. The building was dedicated in December of 1962, and L. Quincy Mumford, Librarian of Congress, spoke. Many of James T. Ward’s books were still on the shelves at this time. What was left of his original donation was pulled from circulation in 1963 and placed into Special Collections. In 1975, the library was named Hoover Library in recognition of Dr. Samuel and Elsie Hoover's dedication to College. Dr. Hoover was an active member of the Board of Trustees.
Just over twenty years later, in April, 1985, new President Dr. Robert H. Chambers III stood before the Board at its annual meeting and argued for a larger library. The Board agreed, and on October 13, 1991, the dedication of the new Hoover Library was celebrated. This library, a renovation and expansion of the original Hoover Library, was double the capacity, able to hold over 300,000 volumes. It was designed by the Hillier Group, built by Henry Lewis Company, and featured in the 1992 Library Journal annual architectural issue.
It had comfortable study rooms, lounge chairs, and study carrels throughout the five floors of the building. Card catalogs were replaced by computers, and there were computer stations for students to work from. The staff of the library included five Librarians, including the Library Director, eight Staff, and many student workers. The library also appeared on the internet, with its first web page, ca. 1996.
Hoover Library at night, circa 1991-present.
Today, Hoover Library's facade has not changed much since its dedication in 1991, but the Library itself has. Wi-Fi has been added so students can use their laptops and phones anywhere in the building. There are study rooms with computers and large flat screens allowing students to work in groups on a project. The area that once held reference books was refitted as an Information Commons with new computer equipment. Access to the catalog, most periodicals, and databases is available from anywhere there is an internet connection.
Would Ward be astounded by the changes? Yes, and yet he could still select a book from his own library, located in the Boardroom of Hoover Library, and thumb through its familiar pages.

Special Olympics North Carolina, The Arc of North Carolina and its affiliates across the state have joined together to speak out against DreamWorks' new film, "Tropic Thunder." The film features the prominent use of the R-word (retard) and portrays people with intellectual disabilities in a disparaging way.
The way a society refers to people with disabilities shapes its beliefs about and responses to them. The R-word has long been a harsh reminder of the ridicule and negative stigma directed toward people with intellectual disabilities, yet the word is becoming increasingly popular in today's culture. Although it is often not directed at a person with intellectual disability, it is used in a negative fashion, to demean or highlight someone's lack of ability - a direct reflection on what people view as the capabilities of people with intellectual disabilities.
"This is not a matter of promoting political correctness," said The Arc of NC Executive Director Dave Richard. "This film's depiction of people with intellectual disabilities is derogatory and demeaning. It does incredible damage to people with intellectual disability."
"Labeling and humiliating others is unacceptable in this day and age," said Keith L. Fishburne, Special Olympics North Carolina president/CEO. " I am calling on the people of North Carolina to be a fan of dignity -- stop using the R-word and do not support this extremely offensive film."
"This film also furthers the negative stereotypes that our state leadership has worked hard against through numerous legislative initiatives," said Richard.
"The leadership of the North Carolina General Assembly worked diligently this session to pass a budget and laws that positively affect people with intellectual and other disabilities."
To counter the film, The Arc of North Carolina is initiating a campaign to educate people about the negative consequences of inappropriate language about and towards people with disabilities. Chapters throughout the state will join the state office's efforts to promote people-first language that affirms the dignity of people with disabilities, fosters positive attitudes and paves the way for more inclusive communities.
Please visit The Arc of North Carolina's website for more information about this hurtful film. Make sure you watch the short video about RESPECT and read the materials about people-first language and Hate Speech.
Thank you for helping us promote respect for people with disabilities and their families.


text: I know that this isn't much to go on but back in 1974 there was a short lived 30 minute TV show about firefighters. From what I remember (I was only 4 years old at the time) it was a show about wildland firefighting. The show featured forest fires a lot and I think it was set in a forest somewhere. This leads me to believe was about USFS firefighters or a similar agaency. The one thing I am sure of is that the above show was on right after another short lived 30 minute show called Chopper One which featured Dirk Bennedict a few years before he became Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica. I think both of these shows were on CBS but I'm not positive. Are there any places online that I can look at old TV guide listings? Thanks.

The U.S. Department of Justice has reached a $1.75 million settlement with the District of Columbia to resolve allegations that its public school system submitted false claims for federal money under the Migrant Education Program.
A Sept. 12 announcement from the department said the school system in Washington falsely certified that it was eligible to receive the money and then submitted claims to the U.S. Department of Education for payment. Under the program, the Education Department provides money to help state agencies provide educational services for migrant children.
The government said the false submissions occurred between 2001 and 2003. Since that time, the city government has taken over direct responsibility for the school system from the board of education.

Samantha Whipple is the last remaining family member of the Bronte’s – her father, author Tristan Whipple, being descended from one of the siblings of the Bronte patriarch, Patrick. Home schooled by her father, Samantha has grown up with the shadows of the Bronte sisters looming large over her life. Now, with her beloved father is dead and her mother is living in France; American Samantha has arrived at Oxford University to study English Literature.
While Samantha longs for anonymity, with her family background, this is hard to obtain. Before long, she is the focus of University magazines, while Sir John Booker, who runs the Bronte museum, is insistent that Samantha has inherited the ‘missing Bronte estate.’ However, Samantha has been taught that Sir John is, as far as her father was concerned, the ‘enemy’ and that there is no estate to inherit. In the meantime, she is at Oxford to learn something and has to contend with her tutor, the icily intelligent, Dr James Timothy Percival Orville III. Struggling with the attention from fellow students, her inability to utter anything intelligent under Orville’s sarcastic glare and the loss of her father, she suddenly finds a new problem. Books begin appearing – books which once belonged to her father and should no longer exist…
If you need a well written book that–in spite of serious themes–will lift your spirits, I cannot recommend THE MADWOMAN UPSTAIRS enough. I purposefully drew out the reading of this novel because I didn’t want it to end! Reading this book lead me to pick up some of the Bronte sisters works…..a can of worms! Enjoy!

Donut Worry Be Happy! That sounds like a good motto these days! I thought why not put it on a tote! This fun and easy tutorial is using 3D Puffy Paint and is great for all ages! I have grown up using puffy paint and I continue to use in crafts for kids and adults. I love how it brings dimensions to the simplest projects!
- Canvas Tote Bag
- 3D Puffy Paint Value Pack (stencils come in the back)
- Aleene's Fabric Fusion
- Donut Template
- Print and cut the Donut Template.
- Trace and cut the donut and frosting on felt.
- Use the Fabric Fusion to glue the donut and the frosting to the tote bag.
- Cut out the stencils that spell out "Donut Worry Be Happy". You will need to use some the letters twice.
- Arrange the letters in an arch around the top and the bottom of the donut.
- Tape them into place so you can trace the letter in pencil on the tote.
- Remove the stencils. Starting at the top arch of "Donut Worry" use 3D Puffy Paint of your choice and trace the letters.
- Next outline and decorate the donut and frosting with 3D Puffy Paint.
- Outline the bottom arch "Be Happy" with 3D Puffy Paint.
- For a final touch glue trim around the top seam of the tote bag.
- Let the bag dry completely before using!
This year has been a wild and unexpected ride. It is time to just sit back and Donut Worry Be Happy!
Pick up a value pack of 3D Puffy Paint at your local Walmart or on Walmart.com.

A paper by the American Association for the Advancement of Science provides a superb, highly concise, summary of where we stand and what we can do about climate change
Being a writer myself—and one who likes to convey complex concepts clearly and concisely—I was tremendously impressed by a report released a few months ago by the American Association for the Advancement of Science: What We Know: The Reality, Risks, and Response to Climate Change.
AAAS is the leading association of scientists in the U.S. and publisher of the journal Science.
In just eight pages of text, What We Know presents three key messages on climate change:
1. Climate scientists agree that climate change is happening here and now. From the report: “Based on well-established evidence, about 97% of climate scientists conclude that humans are changing the climate.” To explain how a changing climate relates to individual weather events, such as Hurricane Sandy, the report uses the analogy of steroid use in baseball: “Greenhouse gases have supercharged the climate, just as steroids supercharged hitting in Major League Baseball. Over the course of a baseball season in the steroid era, we witnessed more—and longer—home runs, even though we cannot attribute any specific homer to steroids.”
Climate change is causing a shrinkage of Arctic sea ice, an acceleration of ice sheet melting in Greenland and Antarctica, ocean acidification (at a more rapid rate than at any time in 300 million years), sea level rise, floods, heat waves, droughts, wildfires, human health impacts, and ecological impacts, including species extinctions. It is also affecting national security—the report references the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review from the U.S. Department of Defense and National Security Implications of Climate Change for U.S. Naval Forces, a 2011 report from the National Research Council.
2. We are at risk of pushing our climate system toward abrupt, unpredictable, and potentially irreversible changes with highly damaging impacts. The report discusses both “high-risk scenarios” (the potential for impacts at the high end of the ranges of what scientists expect relative to temperature rise, sea level rise, flooding, and droughts) and abrupt climate change.
Abrupt climate change refers to positive feedback loops that could cause sudden, dramatic change. The report notes that geological history shows instances in which “a relatively small change in one element of climate led to abrupt changes in the system as a whole.” There is risk that “pushing global temperatures past certain thresholds could trigger abrupt, unpredictable, and potentially irreversible changes that have massively disruptive and large-scale impacts.” Such impacts could result from Arctic sea ice melting, large-scale ice sheet collapse, destabilization of sea floor methane, and melting of permafrost.
3. The sooner we act the lower the risk. The report concludes with decidedly policy issues: “As we continue to increase greenhouse gas emissions, we accelerate and compound the effects and risks of climate change into the future. Conversely, the sooner we make a concerted effort to curtail the burning of fossil fuels as our primary energy source and releasing the CO2 into the air, the lower our risk and cost will be.”
The report points to U.S. and international efforts to address threats of acid rain and ozone depletion once those threats were identified. (Indeed, the chair of the AAAS task force that created this report is Mario Molina, who shared the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for identifying ozone depletion as a concern.) The challenges with climate change will be greater, but the report’s authors believe that once our nation is convinced that something has to be done, we will put our ingenuity to work and make it happen.
While in some parts of the country there has been a backlash against science, I remain doggedly optimistic that sooner or later the public will come to its collective senses and take dramatic action to curtail greenhouse gas emissions. Reports, such as this (which was just translated into Spanish), will make that happen sooner rather than later.
The full report, which you can digest in an hour, is available for downloading from AAAS.

"See the look of horror on my face ...

"It's not a look I was going for. It's a men's shirt, I didn't know they made see-through!"
Lively explained that she called the front desk of her hotel when she realized she'd be showing off more than she bargained for, asking if they had a "mechanical department." "Why?" they asked, "is a pipe broken?"
She said she needed some duct tape, but all they had was packing tape. "That's see through!" said Lively, "so I'm just going to be walking around like crunchy sounding cha-chas?"
The former "Gossip Girl" star said she then became fixated on preserving her modesty while still wearing the top. "You know when you're like freaking out about something and you think that's all anyone else is seeing," she said, "you're aware of it so everything everyone says is pointing out this thing that you're paranoid about that no one's really noticing."
Here's where it gets good.
"So, I'm on the red carpet and this guy is like, 'Blake, Blake, your teets are amazing!'" she told Fallon. "I was like, "Excuse me? Are we saying that?' This is like, have you been on Google in past year? This is not okay."
The woman next to that man agreed with him, however, saying, "Well, I mean, they are."

I really enjoyed this novella by Minette Walters. Being a short mystery it is succinctly written and yet I could still imagine the characters and settings from the descriptions. The Tinder Box is aptly named – about a situation set to burst into flames at any moment.
Description from the book cover:
In the small Hampshire village of Sowerbridge, Irish labourer Patrick O’Riordan has been arrested for the brutal murder of elderly Lavinia Fanshaw and her live-in nurse, Dorothy Jenkins. As shock turns to fury, the village residents form a united front against Patrick’s parents and cousin, who report incidents of vicious threats and violence.
But friend and neighbour Siobhan Lavenham remains convinced that Patrick has fallen victim to a prejudiced investigation and, putting her own position within the bigoted community in serious jeopardy, stands firmly by his family in defence of the O’Riordan name.
Days before the trial, terrible secrets about the O’Riordans’ past are revealed to Siobhan, and the family’s only supporter is forced to question her loyalties. Could Patrick be capable of murder after all? Could his parents’ tales of attacks be devious fabrications? And if so, what other lies lurk beneath the surface of their world?
As the truth rapidly unfurls, it seems that Sowerbridge residents need to be very afraid. For beneath a cunning faÃ§ade, someone’s chilling ambition is about to ignite . . .
In some ways this is a theme-heavy book, dwelling as it does on prejudice, incitement to violence and vigilantism as the inhabitants of the village unite in their dislike of the O’Riordan family living in their midst. As the story unfolds it becomes clear that misunderstanding and ignorance are really the problem. I liked the way Minette Walters has structured The Tinder Box using flashbacks, moving between events that lead up to Patrick’s arrest and the aftermath.
For such a short book it is remarkably complex and layered and the ending with its alternative scenarios is excellent. I think I enjoyed it so much because it is so condensed – it made a refreshing change from the long and detailed books I’ve been reading recently.

Today we learned that our vulnerable Island chain has now been visited with H1N1, the new Swine Flu virus. We have three confirmed cases that have been heavily reported in the press. National consumer health advocate Martine Ehrenclou, has recently written on Swine Flu prevention from a practical point of view:
- Wash your hands regularly. Wash with warm soapy water for 20 seconds.
- Use antibacterial gel and keep it with you.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes.
- Avoid unnecessary travel to Mexico.
- Avoid people who are sick.
- Get enough sleep, eat well, drink fluids, and exercise regularly. This keeps your immune system bolstered.
- Stay home if you are ill. Keep your child home from school if he or she is ill.
If you have children, you might consider sending them to school with antibacterial wipes and gel and ask them to wash their hands frequently.
Why not prepare now, rather than later? An ounce of prevention, as they say. If there is a health crisis, why put off going to the pharmacy and supermarket to gather supplies? If you do, you could end up standing in long lines and the supplies you need may not be available at that time. This is simply about thinking ahead just in case.
- Stock up on food such as canned goods and water.
- Purchase surgical face masks.
- Purchase antibacterial gel and wipes.
- If you are about to run out of any medications you need, get them now. Possibly consider asking for that extra refill just in case.
Martine is an award winning health writer. Her book Critical Conditions: The Essential Hospital Guide To Get Your Loved One Out Alive has won numerous awards and she continues to crusade for patient care that will allow you to survive in difficult situations.
Greg Small reporting for the Associated Press announced today that the Department of Health is taking an aggressive approach:
Health Department Director Chiyome Fukino said aggressive monitoring for swine flu cases is continuing.
Dr. Sarah Park, state epidemiologist and chief of the Disease Outbreak Control Division, said officials "continue to lean forward with an abundance of caution.
"Our staff has been moving quickly and diligently to investigate suspected cases, determine any health risks, and provide precautionary measures to reduce and control any further spread of disease," she said.
We should all look closely at the need to travel. One of the adults recently traveled to Texas and infected his or her spouse, and the child recently returned from a trip to California, officials said Monday in announcing the three suspected cases. Since the child didn’t attend school while ill, no school closure is necessary.
Worldwide 28 deaths and about 1,600 confirmed cases have been reported, with 26 of those in Mexico and two in U.S., both in Texas. Meanwhile, Fukino said seasonal flu continues to be reported in Hawaii.
"The most important thing to do right now is to stay informed and to take common sense steps to protect your health and the health of your family," she said.
"The most effective ways to protect yourself and others from novel H1N1 (swine flu) and seasonal flu are by staying home if you’re sick, coughing or sneezing into your sleeve, inside of your upper arm or elbow, or a tissue, and washing your hands frequently with soap and water," Fukino said.
A more in depth view of the history of Swine Flu and the real concerns that insiders have about the possibility of a pandemic of 1918 proportions is contained in the following articles and the Comments from world health experts on Swine Flu. I highly commend these resources to those who want to be educated about all of the facts not just the politically correct statements that are coming from conventional press and TV:
Dr Sirvasta a world expert on Swine Flu and the deadly MRSA and C.Diff. problems:
Swine flu virus enters cells lining the nostrils, multiply rapidly and shed young ones in the secretions. They also stimulate nostrils to produce sneezing to help them disperse their baby virus by droplet spray. When the virus infects the lining of nose (mucus membrane) and lungs, they produce pneumonitis.
This is the major problem because organism like CA-MRSA are colonized in the nostrils will find it easy to enter the mucus membrane in the nose and lungs and produce pneumonia that kills in 24-48 hours. In the past, we could give antibiotics to prevent this secondary bacterial infections, but now we do not have many to use.
In 1918 Influenza pandemic, millions were killed NOT by Influenza virus but due to secondary bacterial infection caused by “Staphylococcus”. Then they did not have antibiotics but now we have many antibiotics that do not kill bacteria.
Nearly 20% of world population died in 1918, if this infection continues, we need to embrace ourselves because the virus effect health adults and children, anti-viral drugs are very expensive and this does not prevent secondary bacterial infections.
Please check out my website for informations and and read: Deadly Companions: How microbes shaped our history Dorothy H. Crawford
Pat Gardiner another expert who has been involved for years with Swine Flu talks about cover up:
MRSA st398 of another similar pig based disease would explain the higher human death rate in Mexico than in America. There could well be two diseases at work in tandem in Mexico
In North America, we suspect that MRSA St398 is at much higher levels in the Canadian population of pigs and people than in the more fortunate US. We have no information on Mexican levels yet.
If that is right, and if MRSA is involved, The USA, if not Canada, does have some kind of short breathing space. You have to use it wisely.
The situation in the UK is making me nervous with the government still refusing to admit either pigs or people have MRSA st398. Thanks to the hard work of an American, Gary Burkholder in Kansas, we do know that MRSA has been there for five years.
When governments hide up things like this, we have an absolute right and duty to be concerned.
You can’t fight what looks like a pandemic with secrecy and lies. Living in a country whose national motto is "Don’t Panic!" is hell sometimes.
If ever we get a written constitution, they will have to write in a clause – "The Right to panic when faced with spin and secrecy."
So, yes, Mexico is the place to watch. There is much of relevance to come, yet.
The biggest fear is that the current H1N1 virus will combine with the avian flu from Southeast Asia and trigger an unstoppable pandemic. Hawaii is certainly vulnerable but with government and conventional main stream media cautiously avoiding telling the public the whole truth, it will be the INTERNET as usual where the full story is available.

The emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) is a destructive wood-boring pest of ash trees (Fraxinus spp.). Native to China, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and the Russian Far East, the emerald ash borer beetle (EAB) was unknown in North America until its discovery in southeast Michigan in 2002. Today, EAB infestations have been detected in 35 states and the District of Columbia; Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. APHIS works with State cooperators to detect, control and prevent the human-assisted spread of the pest in order to safeguard America’s ash trees. More information about the EAB Program can be found in the documents below.
APHIS is proposing to remove the domestic quarantine regulations for the emerald ash borer (EAB). Eliminating this regulation is in keeping with USDA’s goal of reducing regulations that have outlived their usefulness. The proposal would end APHIS’ domestic regulatory activities, which includes actions such as issuing permits, certificates and compliance agreements, making site visits, and conducting investigations of suspected violations, and instead direct all available resources toward managing the pest. APHIS remains committed to controlling this invasive pest and wants to conduct more research and release a greater number of biological control agents—tiny stingless wasps that are natural predators of the EAB—since biocontrol has shown the most promise for stopping EAB’s spread.
The open comment period for the proposed rule to remove the domestic quarantine regulations for the emerald ash borer (EAB) closed on November 19, 2018. APHIS is reviewing all comments received during the comment period. Following its review of comments and information received on the proposal, APHIS will announce the final regulatory decision. The text of the final rule and discussion of the comments will be published in the Federal Register. To view the proposed rule and the comments received, go to the Federal eRulemaking Portal.

News Round-up: Pilgrim Nuclear Station is one of nation's worst; and the storms keep coming
By Sean Corcoran • Feb 7, 2014


Hello and thanks for inviting us to be a part of this discussion. It's a privilege to be able to share with you why we believe The Blueprint: How the Democrats Won Colorado (and Why Republicans Everywhere Should Care)
is a valuable story, but, maybe more importantly, to get your feedback and to answer your questions on why you should care.
Fundamentally, this book is about one of the more un-sexy topics related to politics: infrastructure. It may seem odd that a reporter and a former politician, both inclined to gravitate toward the salacious and sensational for our own respective purposes, might spend all of our free time the last couple years researching and writing about infrastructure, so allow us to pander, albeit briefly, to get you into this story.
Chances are you were watching ? record audiences were ? when Barack Obama accepted the Democratic Party's nomination for president with the Rocky Mountains in the background back in August 2008. For six days that summer, the city felt more like Cannes than Denver. Reporters joked that the motion picture industry screeched to a halt as Hollywood convened a thousand miles to the east and a mile above sea level to witness history.
So it was fitting, that in a small movie theatre on the city's urban college campus, one of the week's most improbable stories would be shared. If those in attendance had their way, its successes would be replicated in their states around the country.
Those in theatre eight of the Starz Green Room heard about how, just four years earlier, Republicans controlled the Colorado governor's mansion, both of the state's U.S. Senate seats, five of seven Congressional seats, and both chambers of the state legislature. Now, just a couple months before the '08 election, Colorado was poised to completely flip that scenario and give Democrats near complete control. That this happened while registered Republican voters outnumbered Democrats made the scenario all the more implausible.
They called it The Colorado Miracle. By any measure, it was one of the most stunning political reversals in American history.
Many inside the theatre knew how the Obama campaign had patterned its grassroots organizing, its online fundraising, and its voter registration efforts after what had started in Colorado in 2004. The head of an organization called The Democracy Alliance described what he called a "quiet little project" called The Committee on States.
Fundamentally, the goal was to get progressives in other states up to "Colorado's level of sophistication and organizational development." If successful, progressive candidates (read: Democratic candidates) could achieve lasting success in swing states like Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Further, they even targeted state legislative seats, so-called down-ballot races because voters had to go down the ballot to get to them, in traditional red states like Alabama, Kentucky, and Louisiana.
The plan to spend more than $100 million on "development" may sound incredibly blasé to the average voter, but its effects could be transformational. You see, while the national media may be focused on Congress and control of Congress in the 2010 election, the progressives have focused on control of Congress for the next decade.
At stake in the 2010 election are 35 governor's seats and control of state legislatures in all 50 states. Those are the legislative bodies that will draw the Congressional district maps for the next 10 years. If you have like-minded people deciding your political fate, the blueprint for success is easier to follow.
"Ultimately the commodity we're dealing with is political power," said Michael Huttner, who created an online grassroots group called ProgressNow that boasts the largest voter email list in Colorado and has founded chapters in roughly a dozen other states with hopes of doubling that by 2012. "It's all about building power at the state level."
So that's what we'll talk about this week, nothing short of constructing a political levee, designed to maximize gain when times are good and minimize loss when times are bad. This fall will be its first true test with a seeming Republican hurricane blowing. Coming up tomorrow, we'll chat about what made Colorado's infrastructure so unique and the must-understand political story for both parties entering 2010.

Ketosis is one of the best ways to lose weight and increase energy levels. It is important to know the signs of ketosis, so you can monitor your progress and ensure that you are getting the most out of your diet. Here are some of the most common symptoms of ketosis to look out for if you’re new to the keto diet.
A Quick Explanation
Before we jump into the signs and symptoms of ketosis, it is important to understand what ketosis is and how it works. Ketosis is a metabolic process your body enters when you restrict carbohydrates in your diet. When this happens, the body begins to produce ketones from stored fat instead of glucose as an energy source. As these ketones accumulate in the blood, they can be detected and used as signposts to show that you are in ketosis.
While some of these symptoms below might be a bit unpleasant, it’s important to remember the many benefits of ketosis, including:
- Regulated blood sugar levels
- Weight loss
- Increased mental clarity and focus
- Improved energy levels
Signs You’re in Ketosis
Now that we have a handle on what ketosis is and why some of these symptoms below shouldn’t be a total drawback from engaging in a keto diet, let’s see what signs you should look for to determine if ketosis has been achieved.
1. Bad Breath
One of the most common signs that you are in ketosis is bad breath, known as “keto breath.” This is caused by increased acetone production in your body, which has a distinct odor similar to acetone, or nail polish. This bad breath typically fades with time as your body adjusts to the keto diet.
While it might be a bit unpleasant, it is an indicator that your body is making the transition into ketosis. If you’re currently suffering from keto breath, some things to help include:
- Brushing and flossing regularly
- Drinking plenty of water
- Using sugar-free gum or mints
2. Weight Loss
As you begin to transition into a state of ketosis, your body will start to burn fat stores instead of glucose in order to generate energy. This means that if you are following a strict keto diet and working out regularly, you should start seeing some noticeable weight loss within the first few weeks.
If your weight loss is significant, don’t be alarmed! This is a normal sign of ketosis, and your body is simply adjusting to the new diet. However, if you still have concerns, speak to your doctor about healthy weight loss and how fast it should happen. If you’re pregnant, for instance, and are on a keto diet, you should always speak to your doctor about any weight loss and adjustments in carb intake.
3. Increased Energy
One of the biggest benefits of ketosis is increased energy levels. As your body begins to burn fat instead of glucose for energy, you may find yourself feeling more energetic than usual as well as an overall improved mood. This is due to the fact that when your body is in ketosis it can more efficiently use fuel provided by stored fat as an energy source.
Unfortunately, this increase in energy isn’t seen immediately and may take a few weeks before you start to feel it. However, once your body is fully adapted to the keto diet and in a state of ketosis, you should begin to notice a steady increase in energy levels as well as mental clarity.
In the meantime, you might enter what is known as a “keto flu”, which is a period of low energy, nausea, and other flu-like symptoms that typically last a few days. These flu-like symptoms are caused by the body’s transition into ketosis, and will likely go away as your body adjusts. In the meantime, however, you might feel the worst of these symptoms at the beginning as your body is adjusting. If you have any concerns, speak to your doctor, but know that it’s normal! And you will bounce back feeling more energetic than before you started your keto diet.
4. Improved Mental Focus and Clarity
As your body enters a state of ketosis, you may find yourself feeling more mentally alert than usual. This is because in ketosis the brain has increased access to fuel provided by fatty acids, which can improve focus and clarity. You may also find yourself feeling less foggy than usual, as the keto diet can help to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation in the brain.
This improved mental focus and clarity is one of the major benefits of entering a state of ketosis and sticking with it.
The Bottom Line
These are just a few of the signs that you may be in ketosis or transitioning into it. If you are following a keto diet and notice any of these symptoms, you can safely assume that your body is adjusting to the new lifestyle and beginning the process of entering ketosis. However, if any of these symptoms become bothersome, it’s always best to check with your doctor for advice and guidance.
Remember- ketosis is a natural state of the body, and should not be feared! With the proper diet and exercise adjustments, you can safely enter into a state of ketosis and enjoy all the positive benefits that come along with it. Good luck!
