For California residents: Proposition 65 Warning
- Maximum Tire Size: 32"
- This suspension lift kit is designed for carrying a heavy load (90-180lbs) and if it is fitted to a stock weight truck, the ride will be negatively affected by the high spring rate. Such a misapplication will also "overlift" the vehicle, and result in a lack of wheel down travel.
- Recommended for vehicles with winches, steel bull bars, heavy duty bumpers and other accessories on your Jeep.
- Due to a variance in curb weight, Rubicon models may not gain the full advertised lift height.
- Failure to install any one of the included required installation kits will void the Old Man Emu Warranty.
Take the guess work out of ordering your Old Man Emu customized suspension system by selecting this complete kit. This complete Old Man Emu Suspension Lift Kit is designed to accommodate the additional weight of an aftermarket front bumper and winch as well as the weight of a rear bumper and all your camping gear in the rear. This kit achieves approximately 2" of lift. If you do not have any additional weight on your vehicle, this suspension will be extremely stiff with a much firmer ride than intended.

Whooping Cough Outbreaks Tied to Parents Shunning Vaccines
MONDAY, Sept. 30 (HealthDay News) -- New research confirms what experts have suspected: The decision not to vaccinate children for nonmedical reasons can have far-reaching effects, including raising the risk of infections for other children and their families.
Researchers compared areas with significant numbers of parents who chose not to vaccinate their children for nonmedical reasons to areas that were affected by the 2010 whooping cough outbreak in California. They found that people living in areas with high nonmedical vaccine exemption rates were 2.5 times more likely to also be located in an area with high levels of whooping cough.Read entire article...

JIt is important to have meat for providing energy to the body. While consuming too much meat can potentially lead to complications like heart disease and hypertension, the idea that meat is inherently unhealthy is patently false. If you want to get the most out of meat consumption, you will need to spend a little extra time tracking down the best product possible. You’ll almost always find better cuts at lower prices at a dedicated meat purveyor than you will at any generic grocery store. Not all meat is created equal. Livestock are a tool that can improve or degrade ecosystem function depending on how they are managed. Beef that came from cattle properly managed across grassland, is a completely different product than conventionally produced beef.
Meat is rich in protein and vitmain B-12 and is also a good source of iron, so it is easy to see how incorporating meat into their diet might have helped our ancestors to survive. Today, however, protein is much easier to come by than in nuts and beans, for example. Unprocessed and properly cooked meat has many nutrients and may have some health benefits. If you enjoy eating meat, then there is no compelling health or nutritional reason to stop.
Vegetables do not contain enough protein for a healthy human diet. We need to get it from somewhere else, not vegetables, grains, beans, or starches. Yes, it is necessary to eat protein for a human to live healthy. Also, meat being the best source of protein our body is accustomed with, we are better if we eat it.
Easier weight control
Believe it or not, the regular consumption of moderate amounts of meat can help the average person to lose weight and keep the pounds off. It is been conclusively proven that a diet high in carbohydrates and refined sugar is a major contributor to the obesity epidemic. Eating lean red meat and fish on a regular basis actually stimulates the metabolism while reducing cravings for grains and sweets. What is more, regularly eating meats like beef that contain high amounts of conjugated linoleic acids can significantly reduce serum lipid levels.
Increases muscle and strength
It is an established fact that a diet high in protein is essential if you want to build muscle mass. The reality is that it is easier to get the right mix of proteins and amino acids necessary for muscle development from meat than from vegetable sources. If you’re not looking to build bulk, eating a moderate amount of healthy meats will also help you to develop lean muscle. For runners and other distance athletes in particular, a daily serving of meat will improve performance and reduce injuries.
Provides stronger immune system
One of the biggest pitfalls of both the vegetarian and vegan diets is the very real danger of a weakened immune system. In order for your body to create the anti-bodies it needs to stave off illness, it requires a rich mix of amino acids. Eating a few different types of meat several times a week will provide your immune system with the zinc, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids it needs to fire on all cylinders. Ultimately, meat consumption can prevent illness and reduce recuperation times when you do get sick.
Helps in better digestion
At the end of the day, humans are omnivores that function best when consuming a mixed diet consisting of meat, fruit and fresh vegetables. A daily serving or two of meat or poultry will ensure that your body has the amino acids necessary to generate digestive enzymes. Robust digestive enzyme action allows a person to more efficiently absorb various nutrients from all kinds of food. As long as you don’t go overboard, eating meat regularly can also alleviate constipation caused by consuming too many foods rich in carbohydrates.
Gives more energy
People that avoid eating meat and rely instead on a purely vegetarian diet have a harder time managing energy levels throughout the day. For instance, a carbohydrate-rich lunch will often result in a mid-afternoon energy crash that can be a real productivity killer. A few strips of bacon in the morning or a sensible roast beef sandwich at noon can help to regulate your energy levels throughout the day. An added benefit of moderate meat consumption is a more restful night’s sleep.

How many people watched Bright in the first three days?
According to Variety, an estimated 11 million viewers streamed the fantasy thriller starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton during the first three days it was available in the U.S. The numbers come from Nielsen, the company that measures TV viewership, because Netflix refuses to reveal official viewership totals. Although Netflix has disputed Nielsen's estimates in the past, you get the feeling they'd be cool with these ratings.
Directed by Suicide Squad's David Ayer, Bright is set in an alternate present-day Los Angeles in which fictional races like orcs, elves, and fairies co-exist with humans. Smith plays a cop who reluctantly partners with LAPD's first orc officer (Edgerton).
To put the viewership estimates in perspective, Bright brought in less than the 15.8 million who watched the Stranger Things 2 premiere during its first three days in October, but a lot more than the nearly 3 million views for the season 2 premiere of The Crown. Just over 12 million people watched the season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones during its first airing.
Although nobody has to buy a movie ticket to see Bright, the numbers put it right up with the biggest films in theaters now. Star Wars: The Last Jedi sold about 11 million tickets in North America this past weekend and Jumani: Welcome to the Jungle sold about 6 million.
Of course, it's not exactly clear if all 11 million of those Bright viewers actually watched the entire movie. Considering that the monthly cost of a Netflix subscription is less than the price of two movie theater tickets, viewers don't have much to lose by clicking to stream even if they just want to see if the movie is really as bad as critics say it is.
Either way, Netflix has already ordered a sequel, and this response only ensures it'll happen.

In collaboration with Markuciai day care centre for mentally challenged people, Lithuanian fashion designers have challenged the concept of fashion. Launched in 2015, a fashion art project Antiideal has transformed the lives of the participants and spectators alike. Antiideal (Antiidealas in Lithuanian) is an art project initiated and directed by the filmmaker and director Irma Bogdanoviciute whose mission was to introduce mentally challenged clients of Markuciai in a different light, as co-creators and models of the fashion project.
Fashion Bloc: How did you come up with an idea for Antiideal?
Irma Bogdanoviciute: I have been working with the Markuciai daycare centre clients as a theatre director – we staged plays together as one of the activities. Having spent some time with them, I realised that they have so much more potential and creativity that is not properly escalated. For example, they had their annual fashion show together with the guests from other care centres for mentally challenged people. In this annual Spring event, Markuciai clients would wear different self-made costumes and walk down the yard-catwalk. It occurred to me, that they lacked access to the professional art.
Another reason for doing this is our society. On the outings, I have noticed and felt the way people treat Markuciai clients – with pity, ignorance, distance or even derision. With an Antiideal documentary, I aim to change that.
FB: Tell us about your team and how you all got together?
IB: The idea was sponsored by the Lithuanian Council of Culture. I got in touch with the fashion designers I knew who recommended some other designers and they all eagerly agreed to be a part of it. Fashion designers involved are Ruta Lendraityte UTALLA, Vidmina Stasiulyte, Milita Balcaityte and Elze Sakalinskaite (INDIGO TEKSTILE studio), Modesta Kremeryte KREMER and Aleksandra Glusinaite. I was surprised no one refused as none of them had previous experience with working with the mentally challenged people. Our cameraman Zbigniev Bartosevic was also a friend of mine, as well as a videographer Aiste Zigulyte. All the people involved were very open-minded.
FB: Is Antiideal a one-of social project or a long-term initiative?
IB: When I introduce our project, I like to emphasize that Antiideal is primarily an art project with a social aspect. It is important to understand that a disabled person can be an equal co-creator of an art project. In our case, a good example is Marius Mikoliunas whose drawings became a printed fabric. Markuciai clients, who became models for the designers, were equal participants of the creative process by sharing their visions, genuine insights, always sincere observations and creative ideas. It has become a cooperation between the two. Art usually is used as a therapy for disabled or a pastime and is rarely about the quality or an actual art piece. I believe it could be changed. As for the continuity, we still travel around Lithuania presenting the project, we also hope to go and showcase abroad. There might be a new project but it is too early to disclose.
FB: Can you talk more about your mission?
IB: Producing this project I wanted to capture and portray good art and beautiful people. I also wanted to fight against the stereotypes that create fear, negation, pity, ignorance that mentally disabled people and their environment face every day. Most importantly, I wanted to show the positive side of their life, and in a way, the reality. Media often portrays mentally disabled people and their families as unfortunate, disadvantaged. Believe me, they don’t feel that way! We, who don’t have a so called disability, have plenty to learn from people who are mentally different: their high emotional intellect, self-confidence, inner peace.
Equally, I wanted the designers to talk about their experience and reveal their observations that were far from pity. I wanted our audience to see the reality.
FB: So what are the designers saying about this project?
IB: Designer Vidmina Stasiulyte, who worked with Markuciai centre clients, her co-creators and models Oksana Tulko and Indraja Kalnikaite, decribes her experience as a way of learning about the world and herself. Having met and befriended ‘models’ who are free, relaxed, playful, she also learned their stories, heard their life goals and found out about their role models. Currently, the designer works with an international project ‘Beyond Seeing’, involving creators seeing with eyes and creators seeing with hands. The designer thinks that art projects that involve people with disabilities, help fight stereotypes and see people in a different light – the disability is often just a difference, a unique feature. She hopes that a word ‘disability’ will lose its unnecessarily negative connotation.
Other designers said that their experiences were also enriching and rewarding.
FB: What were your concerns as a creator of the project?
IB: We didn’t know what to expect. As people with disabilities is still a sensitive topic, it might be disconcerting to get involved. If the project or a creation is bold, you can expect different reactions. However, the result has received mostly positive reactions, a lot of media attention and this proved the necessity of it.
FB: What about the models?
IB: Every single meeting with people, their new friends, is a celebration – they love interacting, telling stories about themselves, finding out about their guests. We go together on tour to showcase the project, they love the outings. Moreover, they like attention; feel confident on a catwalk or in front of the cameras. They are even more camera friendly than the designers.
My communication with the Markuciai centre clients started before the Antiideal. I have noticed positive changes within just 6 months of their new friendships with the designers, our cameraman. Some of them have become more provident; they have expanded their interests and conversational topics. In a way, a disability dissolves when they befriend new people, when people genuinely have interest in them, when they face challenges, accept failures and celebrate achievements – they become stronger by doing and learning as opposed to their usual ‘safe’ environment.
Our models’ family members and even their carers at the centre have also gained more confidence and pride. This is beautiful, I think.

“It seems so simple, but 45 to 60 minutes of brisk walking every day can do wonders for your metabolism,” Sahmura Gonzalez, a master trainer at Crunch Fitness in New York City, recently told Prevention. “Plus, it ensures that you don’t over-train, which can lead to an over-production of cortisol—a stress hormone that’s been shown to contribute to belly fat.”
High-volume, low-calorie greens will fill you up, without filling you out. Test panelist Kyle Cambridge says regular salads turbocharged his success: “My wife Stacie and I decided to add salad to each meal, and the pounds started melting off.” Kyle lost 25 pounds and four inches in just six weeks on the program. “I even had to buy a new belt!” he said. “But the best was when Stacie came up to me in the kitchen, and gave me a hug. She laughed and smiled and said ‘I can wrap my hands around you again.'”
That sour cherry is pretty sweet when it comes to your health. The results of a study conducted at the University of Michigan found that rats given high-fat foods along with tart cherries ditched nine percent more body fat than those in a control group over just 12 weeks. Cherries are also a good source of antioxidant pigment resveratrol, which has been linked to reductions in belly fat, dementia risk, and lower rates of macular degeneration among the elderly.
Instead of satisfying your sweet tooth with some refined sugar, turn to berries and enjoy a slimmer waistline in no time. Berries are loaded with antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation throughout the body, and research from the University of Michigan reveals that rats given a berry-rich diet shaved off a significant proportion of their belly fat when compared to a control group. Berries like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries are also loaded with resveratrol, an antioxidant pigment that has been linked to reductions in belly fat and a reduced risk of dementia, to boot.
The mistake that many people make with their resolutions, though, is that they don't give themselves specific ways to actually achieve these goals. But if you're looking to get fit and feel strong next year, you're in luck. Ridge Davis, personal trainer in West Hollywood, CA, has designed a plan for you to shape up and feel amazing in the gym, no matter what your fitness level may be!

Did bikini season sneak up on you? Is your soon-to-be worn wedding dress still just a touch too tight? Did a last-minute invite for a beach getaway come your way? You're a lucky dog – and a panicked one too because you want to drop pounds, and fast. These 10 diets are likely to help you lose significant weight within a year, according to a panel of experts who reviewed 41 plans for the U.S. News Best Diets rankings. Just remember: Short-term weight loss is markedly different from long-term weight loss, which is more important for your health.
Açai berry powder is high in anthrocyanin- a natural pigment providing powerful antioxidants. Açai provides an array of minerals that help to keep your body healthy and gives you high levels of sustainable energy. This extra energy will enable you to get out and exercise more, therefore extra calories will be burned and eventually the fat will come off your tummy!
Basically, the effect of exercise on our weight is vastly overrated. That’s why it’s only number 15 on this list. There are other things you need to take care of first. It’s not a good idea to eat bad food, drink sugar water (so-called “sports drinks”) or be on medications which force you to exercise for hours daily just to compensate. Metaphorically that’s like digging a hole, into which you put your ladder, on which you stand and paint the basement-level windows of your house.
Unfortunately, some women are just more prone to carrying weight in their middle instead of their hips and thighs. Sometimes, it’s genetics—maybe your mother was more apple-shaped. Belly fat can also increase around menopause, or for women who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Even certain lifestyle habits, from lack of sleep to stress, can make your belly grow. To lose belly fat, talking with a doctor about what other factors may be affecting your weight gain can be a good place to start. From there, you can craft a belly fat busting routine.
2. Decline Bench Sit Up Ceiling Touches: This great exercise works on your shoulder, abs and lower back. Sit on the bench with the weight on your lap. As you move backwards, lock your arms and raise the weight above your body. Touch your back to the bench and use your abs to sit up. As you sit up you should keep your arms and weight pointed to the ceiling.
On the face of it, skipping meals seems like a path to losing weight — if you don’t eat as much, you’ll drop fat. But in practise, it doesn’t work out like that. A 2015 study from Ohio State University found that skipping meals messes up your metabolism and your hormones (specifically insulin), which results in an increased likelihood of abdominal weight gain. Researchers recommended eating several small meals throughout the day as opposed to one or two big ones.
Earlier, belly fat was considered healthy; it was perceived as a reservoir of adipose tissues that could be utilized when a person needed extra energy. With time, the views have changed. Researchers state that excess belly fat triggers chronic cardiovascular diseases. So, it is important to measure belly fat and check how much you need to reduce. Here are some parameters to measure your waistline.
Being in optimal ketosis for a prolonged period of time (say, a month) will ensure that you experience the maximal hormonal effect from eating a low-carb diet. If this doesn’t result in noticeable weight loss, you can be certain that too many carbs are NOT part of your weight issue and not the obstacle to your weight loss. There are, in fact, other causes of obesity and being overweight. The next three tips in this series might help you.
How much fiber should I eat per day? Most Americans eat less fiber than the USDA daily recommendations suggest. This article looks at the guidelines for fiber intake in men, women, and children. We also talk about how fiber can help with weight loss, and discuss how much fiber is too much. Learn about good sources of dietary fiber and a handy meal plan. Read now
Rather than a long and low-intensity cardio workout, try the HIIT method of cardio: intense, fast-paced intervals that leave you completely exhausted after only a 20- to 30-minute session. This form of cardio training increases the afterburn effect, allowing your body to continue burning calories long after your workout is over. You can rotate between 30 seconds of your favorite exercises, with rest in between, as long as they work different muscle groups—such as squats, push-ups and kettlebell swings.
The conclusion? Intermittent fasting was just as effective for weight loss as daily calorie restriction. So if you struggle with daily food restriction, fasting might be an easier way to dial back the amount you’re eating without feeling completely deprived. Read more in-depth about how intermittent fasting works (and if you’ll be able to stick to it) here.
Although it may be tempting to look for a quick fix for your weight loss woes, it's important to avoid fad diets to lose weight fast. According to a recent study from the University of Exeter and Bristol, yo-yo dieting may actually sabotage your weight loss goals because the brain interprets these diets as short famines. Instead of losing weight fast, they cause your body to fire signals to your brain to store more fat for future shortages, unintentionally derailing your attempts to drop those last ten pounds.

Nuts. It’s very easy to eat until the nuts are gone, regardless of how full you are. A tip: According to science, salted nuts are harder to stop eating than unsalted nuts. Salted nuts tempt you to more overeating. Good to know. Another tip: Avoid bringing the entire bag to the couch, preferably choose a small bowl instead. I often eat all the nuts in front of me, whether I’m hungry or not.
For test panelist June Caron, incorporating fresh produce like avocados was a life-changing lesson from Zero Belly Diet. The 55 year-old lost 6 pounds in the first week on the program. “Learning to eat real, chemical free, fresh foods has been the best thing that ever happened to me. I am never hungry. And the weight just keeps coming off!” Glowing skin, healthy nails and better sleep were Zero Belly bonuses, June said. “I’m well on my way to getting my sexy back. Everyone says I look much younger!”
The trick here is not only to avoid all obvious sources of carbohydrate (sweets, bread, spaghetti, rice, potatoes), but also to be careful with your protein intake. If you eat large amounts of meat, eggs and the like, the excess protein will be converted into glucose in your body. Large amounts of protein can also raise your insulin levels somewhat. This compromises optimal ketosis.
Say cheese! Adding some extra calcium to your diet could be the key to getting that flat stomach you’ve been dreaming about. Over just 12 months, researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville found that obese female study subjects who upped their calcium intake shed 11 pounds of body fat without other major dietary modifications. To keep your calcium choices healthy, try mixing it up between dairy sources, calcium-rich leafy greens, fatty fish, nuts, and seeds.
"It’s easy to become impatient and frustrated when you’re trying to lose weight and haven’t seen the results yet. But be realistic – you won’t see the affect overnight. Your brain’s wiring plays a huge part in resisting changes in lifestyle, and it takes time to establish new habits – up to 12 weeks. Stick with it for at least eight weeks and you should notice a change."
The biggest reason we can’t stick to our workouts? No time. Trying to squeeze a trip to the gym, with a shower and change of clothes, into a hectic schedule—especially around the holidays—can make even the most dedicated fitness buff into someone, well, less buff. But scientists in New Zealand recently found that men and women who engaged in three 10-minute exercise “hors d’oeuvres” before breakfast, lunch and dinner saw lowered blood glucose levels—a fat-busting benefit these folks showed all day long!
Don’t buy your tickets to Bonnaroo just yet; the kind of acid that will help you slim down is the stuff right inside your cabinet. A 12-week study published in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry reveals that obese study subjects who made vinegar part of their diet dropped more belly fat than a control group, and other research suggests that acidic foods, like vinegar, can increase the human carbohydrate metabolism by as much as 40 percent.
Some people feel better supplementing the already active T3 (sometimes prepared from pig thyroid glands), as it can give a stronger effect than the T4 hormone, but its effect is often harder to control. Swedish healthcare rarely prescribes or offers such T3 treatment, as it often lacks advantages and may pose a risk when doses are high for an extended period of time.

While many people turn to artificial sweeteners in a misguided attempt to whittle their waistlines, those fake sugars are likely to have the opposite effect. According to researchers at Yale, artificial sweeteners are actually linked with an increased risk of abdominal obesity and weight gain, possibly because they can trigger cravings for the real stuff and spike insulin levels in a similar fashion to real sugar.
Dairy products such as cream and cheeses. They work well in cooking as they satisfy. The problem is if you’re munching a lot of cheese in front of the TV in the evening… without being hungry. Be careful with that. Or lots of cream with dessert, when you’re actually already full and just keep eating because it tastes good. Or another common culprit: loads of heavy cream in the coffee, many times per day.
About 65 percent of the human body is made up of water, so it's important to replenish the water you lose each day. According to a study conducted among 10,000 adults aged 18 to 64 over a three year period, drinking plenty of water and eating water-filled fruits and vegetables significantly improves your ability to lose weight fast, especially if you are overweight or obese.
Do not try to lose weight too rapidly. Crash diets and diet pills that promise weight loss are usually bad for you and actually don't help keep the weight off in the long run. Resist the urge to take the "easy" way out and instead stick with a healthier lifestyle. This way you lose the weight and improve your health, helping you keep the weight off in a way that won't harm you in the long run.
Intermittent fasting has blown up in the past year, but scientists are just starting to figure out how it can help you lose weight. In one study from the University of Illinois at Chicago, researchers compared obese people in a traditional weight loss group and fasting group. For the experiment, the calorie-restricted group simply reduced the amount of calories they ate by 25 percent each day. The fasting group, however, alternated days: they ate 25 percent of the calories they needed one day between 12 and 2 p.m., and then had feast days the next, where they ate 125 percent of their required calories.
Everyone’s body is different when it comes to digesting some gas-forming foods, but there are a few you should be wary of: It’s best to avoid beans and cruciferous veggies (think cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and broccoli) for a couple of days if you want to look slimmer. Choose lean proteins like chicken and fish or, if you’re vegetarian, go for small amounts of nuts and seeds for protein. Pair with non-gassy vegetables like asparagus, spinach, and cucumber to help prevent bloat.
It seems counterintuitive to drink lots of water when you’re looking to lose weight fast—especially water weight—but staying hydrated is one of the most important steps you can take to lose weight. People often mistake thirst for hunger, so staying hydrated allows you to be more in touch with the times when you are actually hungry, rather than just thirsty. Plus, a lot of good things happen to your body when you drink enough fluids.
Belly fat is associated with many health issues and diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Specifically it's the deepest layer of belly fat that poses health risks. That's because these "visceral" fat cells actually produce hormones and other substances that can affect your health. There are many dangerous and ineffective gimmicks about how to lose belly fat. While there is no "magic bullet" that will target abdominal fat in particular, this article will explain what causes an expanding waistline and how you can make that spare tire go away.
Obviously, it’s still possible to lose weight on any diet – just eat fewer calories than you burn, right? The problem with this simplistic advice is that it ignores the elephant in the room: Hunger. Most people don’t like to “just eat less”, i.e. being hungry forever. That’s dieting for masochists. Sooner or later, a normal person will give up and eat, hence the prevalence of “yo-yo dieting”.
Christy is a spokesperson, nutrition and food writer and blogger for Huffington Post and others, a recipe developer and YouTube video producer. She is regularly interviewed by CTV National News, CBC, The Globe and Mail and many more on nutrition and health. She has her finger on the pulse of the latest nutrition and food science and trends, and synthesizes and prioritizes it just for you.
Certain carbohydrates have a tendency to be poorly absorbed in your intestines and then rapidly fermented, leading to gas and bloating. Common culprits include refined carbohydrates and simple sugars—like those found in processed foods with added sugars. Excess sodium can also cause bloating due to increased water retention. Opt for freshly prepared foods and reduce processed, packaged foods to cut back on belly bloaters. In the morning, swap your sugar-laden bowl of cereal for this Green Smoothie, made with fresh fruits and vegetables to get your day started the right way.
Spending more time in the kitchen can help you shed belly fat, as long as you’re cooking with the right foods, according to one 2017 study. After analyzing data from more than 11,000 men and women, UK researchers found that people who ate more than five homemade meals per week were 28 percent less likely to have a high body mass index, and 24 percent less likely to carry too much body fat than those whole only downed three meals at home.
Lean protein like fish is a great way to fight fat and boost your metabolism. But the farmed salmon you get at the local market might not be the best bet for your belly. The cold-water fish has a well-deserved reputation for packing plenty of heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acids—1,253 mg of the good stuff, and just 114 mg of inflammatory, belly-busting omega 6s. But the farmed variety—and 90 percent of what we eat today is farmed—has a very different story to tell. It packs a whopping 1,900 mg of unhealthy omega-6s.
I started Day 1 on New Year's Day. Today is Day 2. It worked! I dropped 1.5 lbs!! On Day 1 I followed closely to the plan except that I ate a lot less than allowed. I'm a short person, and 1 apple, 1 orange and 1/4 pomegranate were all I needed for the day. I also drank 6 cups of water (my day was short; I got up at 2p). I did not have any hunger pangs nor was I tempted by other foods.
So how does this work? A quick run-through: The first tip was to eat low carb. This is because a low-carb diet lowers your levels of the fat-storing hormone insulin, allowing your fat deposits to shrink and release their stored energy. This tends to cause you to want to consume fewer calories than you expend – without hunger – and lose weight. Several of the tips mentioned above are about fine-tuning your diet to better this effect.
Research demonstrates that eating later can actually lead to slower weight loss, while eating a larger meal at breakfast and smaller meals throughout the day can help you lose more weight! And while we’re not going to tell you to restrict yourself to no food after 6 p.m, it’s important to consider what time of day you struggle most with temptation.
Have you been consistent with workouts but haven’t gotten the results you were hoping for? Your low-key resolution is to change up your workout. Commit to the same number of workouts per week, but make these workouts completely different. If you’ve been going to yoga three times a week, go to a cycling class instead. Or if you’re walking on the treadmill every day, move over to the recumbent bike instead. By sparking a change in your routine, your muscles will be forced to work differently and hopefully you’ll begin to see the results you’ve been hoping for!

Today I'm going to show you how to make this. I'm calling it my Dainty Leather Clutch. It's actually pretty easy to make, so let's get to it.
I will explain the process, but I won't give exact measurements because it all depends on how large you want your clutch to be. I started with a large rectangle of leather. I cut it to be the width I wanted the clutch to be.
Okay, let's take a time out here. You might be thinking...where do I even get leather Cheri? I got mine at Tandy Leather Factory. When I went there I picked the man's brain (probably annoyed him as well) and learned a lot about leather. You don't buy it by the yard. You buy pieces of it and the price varies a lot. I bought a huge piece of this light blue leather. It was on clearance for $30, but I have used it for about ten different projects already. You can buy harder or softer leather. Mine is kind of hard, but it's quite thin.
I took my rectangle and folded up the bottom so that it was about the size I wanted the clutch to be. I wanted my clutch to be angled in rather than just a plain rectangle, so I started from the bottom corner and cut in about an inch as I came up to the top. The white line represents where the leather was before and the dotted line is where I cut it. Don't cut the flap at the same angle. Just cut it at a ninety degree angle or wait to cut it.
Next I wanted the flap to be circular so I found a bowl the right size, traced the line onto the leather, and cut it.
Next I made the scalloped edge. I took another piece of leather and cut that same half circle shape. Then I created one scallop the size I wanted it to be and used it to trace over and over until I had the whole piece drawn out. I cut the edging out. This is the most time consuming part.
I wanted the flap to be lined purely for cuteness. I didn't line the whole pouch. I used the flap itself to trace the exact line onto the fabric. I left a little extra fabric at the bottom (along the straight edge) so I could fold it over and have a clean edge. I didn't worry about the rounded part since I knew the scalloped edging would cover it.
I sewed up the sides of the clutch and then I sewed on the flap lining.
I sewed the edging over the top of the lining.
I sewed these two lines carefully so they would be parallel. I chose red thread as a fun contrast. I also chose to use the gray side of the leather for the outside scallop, to give the clutch a little more interest.
Lastly, I sewed on strips of velcro vertically so that the clutch will close well when it's really packed and when it's pretty empty.
I added a large red button to cover the seams from the velcro on the front flap and because I thought it was adorable. I love big buttons I didn't want a three inch button hole.
A couple quick notes for you if you want to make this. Don't be afraid of leather. It's actually really fun to work with. Your sewing maching will sew through it. Technically you should buy a leather needle for your machine, which is a bit thicker. You can use your rotary cutter to cut the leather, but it will obviously cause your blade to dull more quickly. If you're really up for a project you can also check out my leather laced purse tutorial.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a fantastic day!

Aged six, in 1910, Graham Greene first fell in love with film. It happened in Brighton, of course: "No city before the war, not London, Paris or Oxford, had such a hold on my affections." During a childhood trip to the seaside to convalesce after a bout of jaundice, the headmaster's son from Berkhamsted watched a silent version of Anthony Hope's novel Sophy of Kravonia. The flickering images of Hope's fanciful Balkan romance were accompanied "by one old lady on a piano, but the tock-tock-tock of the untuned wires stayed in my memory when other melodies faded". In 1938, the murkily seductive resort would form the unforgettable backdrop to the novel that proved once and for all his affinity not with schmaltz but with shadows. For Greene, "Brighton Rock was a very poor substitute for Kravonia, like all my books, and yet perhaps it is one of the best I ever wrote."
Nine years after its publication, Greene's eighth novel gave rise to one of the most powerful films ever spun off from his fiction across 75 years of frequent adaptations. Given the mesmerising menace of Richard Attenborough as the faith-tormented teenage gangster Pinkie, the Boulting Brothers' Brighton Rock will prove the hardest of acts to follow. Next week, Rowan Joffe's new version opens. Sam Riley, Andrea Riseborough and Helen Mirren inherit the roles first taken by Attenborough, Carol Marsh and Hermione Baddeley. Perhaps to sidestep direct comparisons, Joffe has updated the action to the "youthquake" year of 1964.
No giant of modern fiction has ever had such a long and – mostly - fruitful liaison with the cinema as Graham Greene. Even within his lifetime (1904-1991), he collaborated on or simply authorised more than half a century's worth of movies: from the moment in 1934 that his "entertainment" Stamboul Train became Orient Express – as he had, rather cynically, hoped - to the poignant swansong that, in 1985, Dr Fischer of Geneva gave to James Mason in his final role.
Yet Greene's relationship with film was never plain or simple. In keeping with the mixed motives, treacherous masks and ethical ambiguities that brand all his fiction, he and the movies had a passionate love-hate entanglement. Feelings of scorn, rage and betrayal proved rather more common than spells of blissful harmony. As a reviewer, he wrote perhaps the most notorious notice in the history of film criticism: more of that later. As a screenwriter, he generated a work that, for many cinéastes, endures not just as the greatest British film but one of the greatest ever: The Third Man. Greene and the movies could not live without each other. And, as Joffe's imminent revision shows, there are no signs yet of an end to the affair.
Critics love to hunt down the supposedly "cinematic" traits in Greene's fiction. Multiple and mobile points of view, rapid shifts between foreground and background, the sense of place as a dynamic character, a moral chiaroscuro that sends the heroes lurching between light and dark: it's not hard to make Greene and the screen look like a perfect match. In his preface to the tie-in edition of Brighton Rock (Vintage Classics, £7.99), JM Coetzee detects in Greene's prose from the start "a preference for observation from the outside without commentary, tight cutting from scene to scene, equal emphasis for the significant and non-significant".
Yet this orthodox account needs a couple of provisos. Greene sharpened his art of slanted and skewed narration thanks to a pair of mighty mentors, Henry James and Joseph Conrad: both famously elusive and hard to film. Moreover, Greene is the dark angel of ambivalence.
Not only in his explictly "Catholic" novels (he regarded Brighton Rock as the first) but in all his books, contradiction and duplicity whip character and action along. His own artistic credo came from Robert Browning's poem "Bishop Blougram's Apology", with its doubting cleric: "Our interest's in the dangerous edge of things,/ The honest thief, the tender murderer,/ The superstitious atheist". Mainstream movies generally opt for clear lines, bold strokes and self-evident vices or virtues. To fit Greene's divided and paradoxical people and plots into such a frame takes more than usual vision and attention. Not surprisingly, the pinnacle of his screen career coincided with the brief heyday of film noir in commercial cinema.
A student at Oxford in the early 1920s, a sub-editor on the Nottingham Journal and The Times, a penurious young writer in debt to his publisher: Greene absorbed the avant-garde enthusiasms in film that you might expect from a bright youngster of his age. He served as film critic of Oxford Outlook magazine and devoured the progressive movie journal Close Up, with its manifestos for Soviet-style montage. Then, in 1935, the lure of a weekly gig sent him to the industry coalface. Until 1940, as film critic of The Spectator and contributor to the short-lived, high-toned journal Night and Day (a British clone of the New Yorker), he reviewed more than 400 films. "Four and a half years of watching films several times a week", he recalls in in his second memoir, Ways of Escape: it was "a way of life which I adopted quite voluntarily from a sense of fun". In flight from stalled novels, he opened the "gilded cards of invitation" to press previews "with a sense of curiosity and anticipation".
Meanwhile, the world changed. Greene wrote about Henry Fonda in Young Mr Lincoln on the morning of 3 September 1939, as war was declared and the first air-raid warnings sounded near his Hampstead flat. His tastes changed, too – to the future benefit both of his own fiction, and the movies made from it. He scorned the flaccid "respectable" biopics of the era and came to admire Hollywood craft, wit and pace: "the Westerns, the crime films, the farces, the frankly commercial". Sometimes, his judgement ran against the critical grain. He despised the superficial trickery of Alfred Hitchcock, and was left umoved by Greta Garbo. On the other hand, he was glad to have given "a warm welcome to a new star": Ingrid Bergman.
In 1938 came the debacle that marked the lowest point of his lifelong screen affair. In Night and Day, he had reviewed Shirley Temple – then aged nine – in Wee Willie Winkie. His scandalous verdict gives a flavour of the edge and mischief he brought to the critic's task: "The owners of a child star are like leaseholders - their property diminishes in value every year... Miss Shirley Temple's case, though, has a peculiar interest: infancy is her disguise, her appeal is more secret and more adult. Already two years ago she was a fancy little piece (real childhood, I think, went out after The Littlest Rebel). In Captain January she wore trousers with the mature suggestiveness of a Dietrich: her neat and well-developed rump twisted in the tap-dance... Now in Wee Willie Winkie, wearing short kilts, she is completely totsy... Her admirers - middle-aged men and clergymen - respond to her dubious coquetry... only because the safety curtain of story and dialogue drops between their intelligence and their desire."
Shirley Temple's lawyers and Twentieth-Century Fox sued Greene and Night and Day for libel. They argued that he had accused them of "procuring" her for "immoral purposes". The case was heard before the Lord Chief Justice on 22 March 1938. Greene had prudently decamped to Mexico to work on his travel book The Lawless Roads (a trip that also planted the seeds of The Power and the Glory).
Back in London, the law won. To restore the small star's reputation, the court awarded her £2,000 and £1,500 to the producers. Night and Day went bust, and "ever since that time I have been traceable on the files of Scotland Yard". Held in trust until she was 21, Temple's damages were donated to a London youth centre. An odd coda to the uproar followed. Wee Willie Winkie was directed by John Ford. In 1947, Henry Fonda starred in a first film of The Power and the Glory, renamed The Fugitive. The director? John Ford.
By the late 1930s, Greene had begun to operate as a movie insider as well as observer. His reviews had slated the epics of producer Alexander Korda. In a gesture typical of Greeneland, the generous, quixotic Korda ("there was never a man who bore less malice") hired his enemy, who became a loyal friend. Greene co-wrote scripts for humdrum pieces such as The Green Cockatoo. However frustrating, the experience helped to hone his skills.
After improbable wartime escapades as an amateurish spy for MI6 in Sierra Leone (the root of The Heart of the Matter), Greene returned to the cinema. For his friend, the Brazilian director Alberto Cavalcanti, he wrote that haunting fable of Nazis in disguise thwarted by resistance in a Chiltern village, Went The Day Well? Then, in 1944, with the Second World War approaching its climax, and with "no confidence in my future as a novelist", he welcomed "an almost slave contract with MGM". It led to unmade treatments such as his tale of double lives and war crimes, The Tenth Man. That surfaced from the MGM archives only in 1985. Crucially, this anxious period also laid the foundation for the two masterpieces that Greene wrote in the late 1940s for director Carol Reed: The Fallen Idol and The Third Man.
Korda had introduced Reed and Greene. In The Fallen Idol – a version of Greene's story "The Basement Room" – the child's-eye perspective on adult intrigue showed how the angles and twists of Greene's oblique narratives could flourish in the hands of a sympathetic director. If The Third Man took this synergy to an unrepeatable peak, their collaboration had its fair share of pitfalls. "Like many love affairs," Greene remembered, The Third Man "started at a dinner table and continued with headaches in many places". "Never intended for publication" (although it later became a novella), the film emerged as nothing like the tale of four-power rivalry in war-ravaged Vienna that Korda had planned.
When David Selznick came in as a co-producer, he wanted to re-name the project "Night in Vienna" and was aghast at the plot. "It won't do, boys," he scolded Greene and Reed. "It's sheer buggery." "Buggery?" "It's what you learn in your English schools." Far from California, the twilit deals of a divided and pauperised Vienna fired Greene's imagination: the penicillin racket (a "grim truth"), the subterranean warren of the sewers that passed from one occupied zone to another, the nightclubs full of seedy chancers. All went into the making of Greene's masterpiece – although it was Reed who found zither player Anton Karas, while (as every movie buff knows) Orson Welles added the cuckoo-clock speech.
A decade later, in 1959, the Greene-Reed partnership returned with the film of Our Man in Havana. It starred a memorable Alec Guinness as the floundering vacuum-cleaner salesman-turned-spy in Cuba under the Batista regime. On location in Havana just after a revolution that he warmly supported, Greene arranged a meeting with Castro, was stood up, and went drinking with Hemingway instead. Later, he became firm friends with Fidel.
After the 1950s, Greene's relationship with the films of his books cooled into a hands-off curiosity. Fine, fair and poor, adaptations passed through the studios at regular intervals, always able to command the best-regarded of actors, writers and directors even when the result betrayed Greene's psychodrama into melodrama. During his lifetime, later highlights included a tortured Trevor Howard in George More O'Ferrall's The Heart of the Matter and an exuberant Maggie Smith in George Cukor's Travels with My Aunt. After his death, re-makes of The End of the Affair (by Neil Jordan) and The Quiet American (by Philip Noyce) managed in many eyes to outshine the original films. Might Joffe achieve the same with Brighton Rock? It seems a tall order. Yet Greeneland never loses its allure for the boldest spirits in the cinema. Out of those shadows, visual and moral, some delicious shock may always loom – like the moon face of Orson Welles's Harry Lime, back from the dead to claim an eerie immortality.
'Brighton Rock' goes on general release on 4 February
Greene on film: The 10 best adaptations
Went the Day Well? (Alberto Cavalcanti 1942)
Greene's unsettling story pioneered the "Nazis have landed" genre. But it moves far beyond propaganda in its opaque atmosphere of betrayal and resistance in a quiet English village.
Ministry of Fear (Fritz Lang 1944)
Equally ambiguous, the film of Greene's wartime mystery sees Ray Milland hurled from an asylum into the pervasive madness of a besieged city shadowed by surveillance and treachery.
Brighton Rock (John Boulting 1947)
Seaside sleaze and religious anguish had fused to create Greene's first fictional masterpiece. On film, the riveting presence of a young, feral Richard Attenborough did it stylish and savage justice.
The Fallen Idol (Carol Reed 1948)
First fruit of a movie marriage made in a dark heaven, this drama of childhood fantasy and adult secrecy gives Ralph Richardson a landmark role as a butler who befriends a lonely boy.
The Third Man (Carol Reed 1949)
Sheer perfection for innumerable movie buffs: the exemplary Vienna-set film noir let all its principals shine amid the postwar murk, from Greene and Reed to an iconic Orson Welles.
The Heart of the Matter (George More O'Ferrall 1953)
A confused man in Africa, Trevor Howard's police officer wrestles with passion and faith. With mistress Maria Schell, he embodies Greene's trademark tangle of sex and sin.
Our Man in Havana (Carol Reed 1959)
Originally written for Cavalcanti, Greene's Cuban espionage farce fitted Alec Guinness (above) like a glove. Remarkably, the spy caper was shot in mid-revolution Havana.
Travels with My Aunt (George Cukor 1972)
Greene's most light-hearted novel gave a showcase to Maggie Smith at her most flamboyant. OTT for hard-core Greene-niks, the movie pays due homage to his sillier side.
The End of the Affair (Neil Jordan 1999)
Jordan's remake outpaces the 1955 version with its brooding grasp of wartime passions and the leaps of faith. Ralph Fiennes, Stephen Rea and Julianne Moore agonise under the bombs to compelling effect.
The Quiet American (Philip Noyce 2002)
Greene's Saigon-set imbroglio of love, politics and war returned to the screen in style thanks to the edgy double-act of "innocent" agent Brendan Fraser and world-weary correspondent Michael Caine.Reuse content

20 Jun Stamp Duty Timeline
As it has been widely reported in the national and industry news, the Stamp Duty Holiday is coming to an end on 30th June 2021. While there are still hundreds of thousands of buyers trying to complete in time to take maximum advantage of the savings, the Stamp Duty Holiday is actually changing rather than coming to an abrupt halt at the end of the month.
We’re going to take a look at some of the key dates you need to keep in mind if you are looking to buy and sell your property in the coming weeks. If you’re looking for a property in the area, make sure you give the leading estate agents in Colnbrook a call on 01753 683000 or email us and we’ll help you find your next home.
Changes to Stamp Duty Rates
The Stamp Duty Holiday meant that the tax did not apply to first-time buyers and home movers on purchases of properties below £500,000 before the end of June; this means that buyers could save up to £15,000 on their transaction.
Initially the holiday was supposed to finish at the end of March 2021, but was extended by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in order to provide a much-needed and continuing boost to the property market and, by proxy the economy. It also enabled those who were mid-way through a transaction at the end of March to still benefit from the maximum saving.
The extension and subsequent ratcheting down of the savings will last until the end of September with the Stamp Duty rates returning to normal on October 1st 2021. That means that from July 1st the nil-rate band will be lowered from £500,000 to £250,000.
Stamp Duty Holiday Key Dates
It’s been a phenomenal initiative by the government to encourage people to get moving and boost the economy after the devastation of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have been inundated with first-time buyers and home movers aiming to move as quickly as possible and were delighted to hear the news that the holiday would change rather than stop. These are some of the key dates
8th July 2020: Stamp Duty Holiday announced as a temporary measure to stimulate the economy. Nil-rate threshold changed from £125,000 to £500,000 until March 31st 2021.
3rd March 2021: Chancellor delivers Spring Budget speech announcing an extension to the initiative in order to complete the unprecedented number of purchases in progress. Scheme extended until 30th June 2021 with nil-band rate lowered to £250,000 from 1st July to 30th September 2021.
30th June 2021: Property transaction must complete on or before this date to take advantage of the maximum stamp duty savings.
1st July 2021: From this date the nil-rate threshold for stamp duty will be on the first £250,000 of the purchase price for buyers of a main home in England and Northern Ireland.
30th September 2021: Property transaction must complete on or before this date to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday savings.

From Henry Spencer:
In its early years, the only form of manned space exploration it favoured was an (international) Mars expedition. All other ideas that involved humans in space were counterproductive and undesirable, to hear the Planetary Society tell it.
This obsession with Mars was a bad idea then, and it’s a bad idea now. However, some of the reasons advanced against it strike me as poor – sufficiently poor that they weaken attempts to argue for a more systematic and balanced space effort.
An exclusive focus on Mars does have one thing going for it. If you believe that any resumption of manned space exploration will inevitably end the way Apollo did, with follow-on programmes cancelled and flight-ready hardware consigned to museums as soon as the programme’s first objective is met, then choosing the most interesting single destination makes sense.
However . . . haven’t we learned anything from doing that once? To me, it makes far more sense to try to build a programme that won’t crash and burn as soon as it scores its first goal. That means systematically building capabilities and infrastructure, and doing first things first even if they aren’t the most exciting parts.
Unfortunately, we don’t seem to have the societal patience necessary to do the unexciting parts, at least if the government is paying for it. Which is why we have to get private industry going ASAP.
[Early afternoon update]
[Another update a few minutes later]
Jeff Plescia has been leaving this message in comments at various places (I’ve seen it at NASA Watch and Space Politics]
As a participant in the workshop sponsored by the Planetary Society at Stanford University in February, 2008, I feel obliged to make some comments with respect to what is said in portions of the Planetary Society document “Beyond the Moon A New Roadmap for Human Space Exploration.”
Page 5 contains the statement:
“Among the conclusions of this group is that ‘the purpose of sustained human exploration is to go to Mars and beyond,’ and that a series of intermediate destinations, each with its own intrinsic value, should be established as steps toward that goal. The consensus statements and viewpoints expressed by this group of experts form the basis for the principles and recommendations contained in this document.”
This statement is a blatant and intentionally dishonest misrepresentation of the recommendations and sentiments of the group.
We had extensive discussions about what the conclusion of the workshop might be. While the conclusion reported in the Roadmap was clearly the predisposition of several members of the group, particularly the organizers, it was definitively and clearly not the consensus of the group as a whole. In fact, when these words (or words to the same effect) were suggested, the group clearly indicated to the organizers that they should not be used because they were inaccurate. However, the organizers chose to ignore the group’s wishes at the end of the workshop, at the International Astronautical Congress and in the Roadmap in portraying the results of the workshop. This has occurred despite the fact that members of the group pointed out after the workshop press release that such statements were inappropriate and incorrect.
For what it’s worth. Thanks, Lou.
Maybe it’s like the climate change “consensus,” from which many scientists are now running.

Make sure that you are fully relaxed before you try. I don't know what method you use to project but I suggest that if you use an easier method. It might also help to stop trying and try again after a few days/weeks.
Considering that Astral travel is a personal process and joirney it is difficult for someone else to either enhance or hinder you. Though if what was done has left you feeling unusually off balance, or more conscious of potential blocks that you don't normally dwell on, it can lead to a loss of focus because your mental state is different. In short you might be just getting in your own way.
I would suggest taking a day or two to re-center yourself. Just use whatever techniques you already know to clear yourself and realign. And put your conscious attention to balancing out the flows of energy and thought. Get your mind off -striving- to go astral and back to a more confident state of just allowing it to happen.
Sometimes the less you push at something, the easier the results will appear. ^_^
