I asked my doctor about eating carbs or cutting them out of my diet. He said it was fine to eat carbs but to only eat them for breakfast or lunch. Does anyone do this?
I usually try to eat most of my carbs just before and after exercising. Although I have been so lazy with the exercise lately and I've just been eating them whenever!
Ha @ last part Bev!
I eat my main meal in the evening so my carbs are always in that meal!
I don't restrict any of the macronutrients by meal time, but it's not a bad idea. I don't know about others here but I actually crave carbs the most intensely at night, so cutting them out of dinner would probably do me some good.
My main meal is lunch, so I tend to eat most of my carbs at that time. I normally only have soup for dinner and I don't eat bread with it.
I loveeeee pasta and it was apart of many meals! Overload was the problem ... Now I try to cook whole wheat pasta when we have it but admit not always.
See I have baby potatoes with our salad not many but I do like potatoes or pasta with salads.

Q: PHPUnit: PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused I've been at this for a while now and I still don't know exactly what I might have missed here.
I have php-fpm and mysql on separate docker containers and I can access data from the database without any issue on my Symfony project except for when I try to run tests via PHPUnit in which the tests that require a connection to the database keep returning this error: PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused
Below is how I've set up the phpunit.xml file
<phpunit xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://schema.phpunit.de/9.3/phpunit.xsd" bootstrap="vendor/autoload.php" executionOrder="depends,defects" forceCoversAnnotation="false" beStrictAboutCoversAnnotation="true" beStrictAboutOutputDuringTests="true" beStrictAboutTodoAnnotatedTests="true" verbose="true">

  </php>
</phpunit>

I've even tried to use the address given by SELECT user() for the database in which I get PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection timed out instead.
Do I have to allow the connection separately from the normal project?
EDIT: I connect to the database in code this way
$connection = $this->getEntityManager()->getConnection();

And the information from the connection returns this:
/home/user/docs/project/src/src/Proj/Infrastructure/Doctrine/Repository/RequestRepository.php:155:

Bo Diddley The Day the Original Sound of Music Died
JGoode | 6/5/2008, 9:47 p.m.
Most artists today create music using basically the same beats and sounds to create common rhythms. Musical rhythms are just sort of recycled or remixed. What about going the extra mile to originate a sound and make it uniquely your own? That is something legendary Bo Diddley did. The original sound of Bo Diddley died on June 2, 2008.
At the age of 79, rock legend Bo Diddley succumbed to complications from heart failure at his home in Archer, Florida. "One of the founding fathers of rock'n'roll has left the building he helped construct," his management agency, Talent Consultants International, said in a statement.
On May 12, 2007, Diddley suffered a stroke after a concert in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Three months later he was stricken with a heart attack. Already battling a history of hypertension and diabetes, Diddley's health was on the decline, but his family was not prepared for his death. Garry Mitchell, one of more than 35 family members by Diddley's side when he passed said, "There was a gospel song that was sung, and he said 'Wow!' with a thumbs up. The song was 'Walk Around Heaven' and in his last words he said that he was going to heaven."
Born on December 30, 1928, Diddley was born as Ellas Otha Bates McDaniel in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. He was raised as the adopted child of his mother's cousin, Gussie McDaniel. His musical career took flight in 1934 while playing in a band called the Hipsters. From there he went on to be a regular at the 708 Club in Chicago, IL later teaming up with Billy Boy Arnold, Clifton James, and Roosevelt Jackson. The inevitable soon followed and he became a solo act backed up by his heart-rocking, soul-thumping band and the distinctive sound of his twanging guitar.
Bo is survived by his brother, four children, 15 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and three great-great grandchildren. Forever will he be remembered for his distinctive 4/4 rhythm pattern. With one sound people instinctually knew a Bo Diddley original was about to be played. He has been recognized by the Washington Area Music Association's Hall of Fame, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rockabilly Hall of Fame, Rhythm and Blues Foundation, Grammy Hall of Fame, and many others.
Houston Style Magazine expresses sympathy to the family of Bo Diddley.

Party Favor Strikes Gold With "Party & Destroy" EP
by Matthew Meadow
in Bass Music, EDM News, Moombahton, Pop, Trap
Aside from The Chainsmokers, few artists can say they've risen as fast – except maybe Party Favor. At the beginning of this year, Dylan was still just a great producer, but hadn't received a whole lot of credit for his work. And then… he exploded. Commercial spots with Mountain Dew and more helped spread his music, as well as big performances at major music festivals and a collaboration with Dillon Francis. Everything from his brand and music to his management team came together in perfect fashion to present his new EP, Party & Destroy.
The EP features collaborations from a bunch of big names in hip hop like Sean Kingston, Rich The Kid and Gucci Mane. Additional collaborations from Gent & Jawns, Dillon Francis and vocalist Georgia Ku round out an EP that is a lot more radio-oriented than I would have guessed. Normally, a sudden pop EP would be seen as disingenuous, or the artist might be called a sell-out. In Party Favor's case, this feels so natural to him that I'm amazed it didn't happen sooner.
No doubt artists like Jack U and Major Lazer helped pave the way into pop for EDM, but Dylan definitely took it upon himself to remain original and true to his own sound. "Give It To Me" with Sean Kingston and Rich The Kid definitely has a Major Lazer-esque vibe to it, but it's so happy and carefree I really don't give a shit. "Scrape" with Gucci Mane is straight hard trap, and makes me feel some type of way. Then you have the collaboration with Georgia Ku, whose voice I really can't praise enough – Party Favor really shows his diversity as a producer in this one. Then we're back to another fun moombah track with Dillon Francis, "Shut It Down." Every track is a home run.

A shared web hosting is also popularly called shared services or virtualhosting. The mechanism of a shared web hosting is simple. When multiple websites share same server, it is called shared hosting server. The process reduces the costs for every single websites. Small scale companies go for shared web hosting server as they can not afford a Dedicated Server or a Virtual Private Server.
Shared web hosting is a service in which hundreds of sites are hosted in one particular server. It does not nice sound good, but it is a fact that this type of hosting works for some websites which do not generate huge amount of traffic. Thus, a shared web hosting is best for the startup organizations site, personal sites, medium scale businesses and small scale industries.
A shared hosting provider offers comparatively more disk space, e-mail hosting and data transfer to meet the businesses requirements. Most of the times organizations do not even use all the features which are available to them. The selection of the feature lists does not narrow the field much. So, one should be aware of the criteria to measure the selected host. Thus customers often make the wrong choice when the hosting is concerned.
Businesses should chalk out the criteria of web hosting services. For an example, customer should decide the right operating system for their web hosting services. Linux shared web hosting is one of the most popular services among the small scale businesses.
So, for the organizations which have recently started up, they should contact shared hosting provider and ask for the features and services they are looking for. Slowly, one can switch to other hosting as well. Thus, it is suggestion to all startups, that they should hire the best services and leverage their business.

Assembly bill would end criminalizing traffic tickets
Assemblywoman Rochelle Nguyen, D-Las Vegas, filed legislation Friday that would decriminalize minor traffic violations, making them civil infractions and ending the practice of issuing warrants when an individual can't afford to pay the fines, fees and assessments imposed.
Benjamín Hager / Las Vegas Review-Journal AB 116 builds on a successful model established by Carson City, which stopped issuing warrants in traffic cases in 2019. Carson City's collection rate increased by 8.5% following implementation.
Assembly Bill 116 was introduced with seven primary sponsors — including Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro — and 23 co-sponsors, including Assistant Minority Whip Lisa Krasner, R-Reno.
Nevada is one of only 13 U.S. states that prosecutes minor traffic violations as criminal offenses rather than as civil infractions.
"Right now, people who are unable to pay traffic fines for minor violations such as speeding or driving with a broken tail light can be arrested and even incarcerated," Nguyen said. "This costs taxpayers millions of dollars each year, and it can cost those who are unable to pay the loss of their jobs. I'm working with community partners and other stakeholders to find common-sense solutions because the process we have now isn't working for Nevadans.
"Many of our neighboring states have already decriminalized traffic tickets, and it's time for Nevada to follow suit."
A broad coalition of stakeholders has lined up in support of AB 116, including the Fines and Fees Justice Center, Americans for Prosperity, Mi Familia Vota, Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada, Nevada Attorneys for Criminal Justice, Clark County Black Caucus, Forced Trajectory Project, Battle Born Progress, Return Strong: Families United for Justice for the Incarcerated, Mass Liberation Project and the Washoe County Public Defender's Office.
"These warrants distract law enforcement from activities that actually improve public safety and can unnecessarily rob individuals of opportunities to improve their lives — particularly those already struggling to succeed," said Wiz Rouzard, community engagement director at Americans for Prosperity. "Such actions waste time and resources, lead to unnecessary contacts between citizens and police and can erode trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve."
Nevada's justice courts and municipal courts have issued hundreds of thousands of arrest warrants over the years. When the pandemic forced courts to close last March, 270,000 warrants were outstanding in the Las Vegas Justice Court.
In Clark County, the average person arrested on a traffic warrant spends almost three days in jail at a cost to taxpayers of more than $400. Three days in jail often costs a person a job, housing and even children, making it far more difficult to earn the money to pay their court debt or to care for themselves or their families.
AB 116 builds on a successful model established by Carson City, which stopped issuing warrants in traffic cases in 2019. Carson City's collection rate increased by 8.5% following implementation.
Although some jurisdictions have stopped enforcing warrants because of COVID-19, others such as Henderson and North Las Vegas are continuing to issue and enforce warrants for traffic debt, which can trap residents in a vicious cycle of debt and criminal punishment.
"Punishing people because they don't have money is bad economic policy and one of the least efficient ways to raise revenue," said Leisa Moseley, Nevada state director at the Fines and Fees Justice Center. "At a time when so many Nevada residents are losing their homes and unable to meet their basic needs, this criminalization of poverty is adding insult to injury."

have taken the resolution to live in this cave for the love of my Lord, Jesus Christ.
Born of noble blood, descended from Charlemagne, Rosalia entered into hermitude in a cave on Mount Pelligrino, where she died in 1166. Carving her brief story on the cave wall, her story continues five hundred years later, when plague struck the city. Her spirit appearing to a sick woman, and then to a hunter, she revealed to the hunter where her remains were, the relics of her Saintly life, and ordered him to bring them to Palermo and have them carried in procession through the city. Following the apparition and the instructions there given, her remains were carried through the streets of the city three times-and the plague ceased. Her salvation of the city caused her to be named the patron Saint of the city, and the cave where her remains were found became a sanctuary.
There is an echo of the Seven Sleepers, the People of the Cave who enter the Earth and awaken again to a different world, and here, the Santuzza appears to help the people who live where she once did. It is the waters of Pelligrino, the Mountain itself that awakes her, many say, for she is one with the Land in glorious communion with God. Whether inheritance of the spirits of the Earth, or the result of the devotion of the Little Saint to her Lord, the grace of the Santuzza is celebrated, a powerful ally in the soul's battle in the trials of this world.
The oil is made on her Feast, harnessing the twin powers of proper timing and proper devotion for a novena must be offered for the successful completion of the sacramental. It must always have a base of roses and bone, and be made from quality olive oil. While additional oils and plants may be added during the novena period after her Feast Day, it is the blossom of field and ossuary that truly make her oil blessed.
The oil may be used for grace and courage in the face of danger and death, for guarding against disease and epidemic, for visions of guidance, and to give voice to the Dead through the Saint, and for devotional worship and prayer.
CAVEAT: The use of human bone in this oil is felt by many to render one 'unclean'- that decision is for each Devotee and Pilgrim to agree or disagree. The Roses that blossom from the souls of the Blessed are multifold, and all for the Glory of God through the intercession of the Santuzza herself.
Price is for one half ounce bottle of the Oil of Saint Rosalia. If you are interested in greater amounts, please contact us.

Liberal Arts Education
Doesn't every school teach the liberal arts?
Here's the short answer: schools used to.
The vast majority of modern schools, including Catholic schools, focus on the skills students need in the future to succeed professionally and use the liberal arts as a means to that end.
Classical, liberal arts schools explore the liberal arts so that students can become the best version of themselves. While academic excellence is not the primary goal, it is the result of lighting our students' minds and hearts on fire for the things that truly matter.
Rightly ordering our education philosophy to what is first and most important makes all the difference in the outcome. Instead of strictly focusing on STEM, or whatever is trending in education today, we focus on becoming: good engineers, good doctors, and good people.
As St. Francis de Sales exhorted:
"Be who you are and be that well!"
Liberal Arts Education at St. Ann Classical Academy
At St. Ann Classical Academy, we focus on providing our students with a classical liberal arts education. We believe that learning logic and how to think critically is an essential foundation that children can utilize their entire lives.
Once these skills have been acquired, children can build upon them as they delve into other areas of study, resulting in well-rounded students who are intelligent, kind, and take an eagerness to learn with them.
If you're interested in learning more about our classical liberal arts education, attend our open house and enroll your child at St. Ann Classical Academy for the coming school year.
"The seven liberal arts do not adequately divide theoretical philosophy; but, as Hugh of St. Victor says, seven arts are grouped together (leaving out certain other ones), because those who wanted to learn philosophy were first instructed in them. And the reason why they are divided into the trivium and quadrivium is that "they are as it were paths (viae) introducing the quick mind to the secrets of philosophy." This is also in harmony with the Philosopher's statement in Metaphysics that we must investigate the method of scientific thinking before the sciences themselves. And the Commentator says in the same place that before all the other sciences a person should learn logic, which teaches the method of all the sciences; and the trivium concerns logic. The Philosopher also says in the Ethics that the young can know mathematics but not physics, because it requires experience. So we are given to understand that after logic we should learn mathematics, which the quadrivium concerns. These, then, are like paths leading the mind to the other philosophical disciplines."

By Richard Weaver of The Weaver Law Firm posted in Brain Injury on Sunday, July 14, 2013.
A brain injury can occur from a car accident. How many car accidents occur in Texas or its cities like San Antonio or Houston? And how many result in a head injury or spinal injury?
A concussion is generally a moderate or mild form of traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is an injury to the brain produced from a violent blow or impact. It is often followed by a temporary and sometimes a prolonged loss of function. It can result in loss of consciousness or memory. It is estimated that there are 3.8 million sports and recreational related concussion each year in the United States. Imagine how many result from car accidents.
The CDC's statistics indicate that 275,000 is a conservative estimate of how many brain injuries actually result in hospital admission. How many hospital admissions do you think occur in Houston, Texas because of car accident brain injuries? How many in San Antonio, Texas or Texas overall?
Experts state that about 75% of TBIs that occur each year are concussions or other types of mild traumatic brain injury. About 90% go undiagnosed. A good indicator of a concussion is the loss of consciousness.
It is imperative to have concussions diagnosed. If you think you have suffered from a concussion, do not hesitate to consult a doctor. If you think you have suffered from a head injury, TBI or spine injury due to someone else's negligence, do not hesitate to contact an experienced lawyer. We would be glad to help answer your law related questions.

A few saw the above performance and commented that they felt I was telling a story. Glad my state of narration bleeds though. Some stories are too private. Dance is perfect for those paths where words don't dare tread. A sentiment can be made of charmeuse wings of a butterfly. To speak its name is to soil it beyond grace. However, I can give you an abstract idea.
This form of flamenco is called solea. Which mean loneliness or aloneness. Big chucks of flamenco is about anger, fiery tempers and forbidden desires. Yet, my interpretation of solea, which is totally my own, is of what happens after the bitterness is gone. Revenge is no longer craved. A dancer is dancing to console herself. The dream of a happy ending has been given up on. And yet inside this act of submission, a victory of a different kind. Dark and light. White and black. Between them a never ending dance. This isn't despair. This is victory of the finest sort. Relief need not come.

You are free to try the digital trading option if you have any interest in online stock trade. The idea used in stock trading is similar to the one present in the digital trading options as well as binary. Making your decision based on previous stock trade market information is very important. However, this line of business transaction involves great risks as well as numerous rewards. Here is a list of importance that you are likely to enjoy if you embrace digital trading options.
One of the importance of using digital treading options as well as binary is improved investment potential. Venturing in this line of business has its own share of risks. In the past, numerous people have lost a lot of money through this kind of business. There is a huge number of people who have also made huge earnings through a similar platform. The rate of returns from digital trading options and binary is as high as 60-90%. You should note that digital trading option is the way to go as forex can only guarantee you return worth 10%.
The fact that digital trading options have fixed risks is the next advantage of choosing it. This platforms give you an opportunity to ascertain the risks and even the rewards from investments. Getting a risk higher than the amount invested in the business is not easy. The amount of money that you are exposing to risk equals the total investment into the trade. Binaries and this digital trading broker are very different from the forex. The positive or negative moves of the graph will not affect you as you will still end up closing the money for your advantage. One pip is as important as 50 pips and you will get your payout instantly.
There is a guaranteed return in investment even if you lose your bet using the online trading options. Binary and digital trading brokers are the best to deal with as you do not completely lose your money even if you lose the bet. This platform will give back between 5-15% of the total amount invested. This is not the case with other platforms like forex where you will lose your total amount of money.
Asides, using trading option broker is under-friendly. This means that the digital trading options are at the forefront of making sure that they take care of their new clients. Many websites have, therefore, come up with many features like the demo accounts and informative videos which are user-friendly and also enhanced response to questions while trading. This platform exposes to simple trading options with reduced worries of losses, leverages, as well as price movement magnitudes while in the digital trading option as well as binary. All these features are not available with forex traders.

Kaitlyn Flis
Kaitlyn grew up in Regina but has always said that her cabin is her favourite place to be. As you will notice in her portfolio, Kaitlyn's subject matter is primarily Saskatchewan scenery, more specifically focusing on the Qu'Appelle Valley and flowers from her garden. Kaitlyn lives in the city, but her heart belongs to the valley and she has been told that this comes out in her artwork. Primarily, Kaitlyn has been painting in acrylics on canvas and water skis while dabbling in other miscellaneous mediums on days when she feels like changing it up a bit. This could range from pastel to charcoal to wood burning to multi-media. In late 2018, she was introduced to Unison pastels and was hooked. Kaitlyn had used soft pastels in the past, but didn't realize that by using different brands a person could create even more texture and depth. She still paints with acrylics but is doing more and more with soft pastels. There is something about getting her hands dirty and actually spreading the pigments across the paper that draws her in. The layering and bright colours are mesmerising to Kaitlyn and she wants to push the boundaries to see what can be created. In the summer of 2020, amidst the crazy Covid-19 pandemic, Kaitlyn was selected to be one of the Associate Artists of Unison Colour. She is beyond excited to see where this opportunity takes her.

Jane Kerr
Jane's enjoyment and encouragement of creative expression began in early childhood. Over the years she has explored many different mediums, painting techniques and art forms under the guidance of professional artists. Interest in the sun's radiant light has inspired Jane to create scenes of backlit woodlands or prairie landscapes, where at times sunlight appears to glisten on water or on snow creating dramatic shadows. Jane find these images to be both healing and nurturing. Jane also likes to portray the visual effects of light and energy in night time cityscapes. She strives to incorporate the Five Elements Theory of nature comprised of earth, air, fire, water and universal space into her artwork. The use of purple as her grounding colour provides "balance" because it contains both the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. Jane's professional medical background provides her with a deep appreciation for the mind and body connection of colour, light and sound. Recent certification in the science of Gemmology has inspired Jane to create a "jewel box" from which she extracts a palette of rich and vibrant metallic jewel-toned hues to achieve a luminosity in her artwork. It is with hope that Jane creates paintings that are "Dancing with Light" in the eyes of the viewer.

Terri Murphy
Terri was born and raised a Saskatchewan northerner. She studied Fine Art at Grant McEwan in Edmonton AB and graduated in 1983. While having studied a variety of mediums and methods Terri prefers to the versatility of Acrylic paints.

Jim Toth
Jim has been painting almost all of his life in some form. I think the reason he was spanked at birth was because he had a paint brush stuck in his mouth. Through elementary school, high school at Balfour Tech where he took art from Margaret Messer and drafting from "Poppa" Bob Lewis, Jim always showed a great love and skill drawing, sketching, and painting. At university Jim's love of art showed itself on the walls of Lutheran College and Seminary as large murals. Jim returned to Balfour in 1961 as a teacher and taught art with Margaret Messer. Entering into administration, Jim's painting became a self satisfying undertaking – his first "plein air" being done in 1967 at Besant Campgrounds. (Which he still has). His choice of medium became oils with which he continued until his wife's health dictated that he change to watercolours. He continued in waters, painting mainly florals until his wife's death when he moved back to oils, a medium he primarily uses today. In order to improve his skills, Jim and his wife Cheryl have travelled tens of thousands of miles to paint with Marc Hanson, Scott Christensen, Matt White, Randal Sexton, Jim Wilcox, Linda Kemp, to name a few of the many well known artists he has shared time with. Today the prairies draw this 84 year old painter to capture its four season beauty. Landscapes are the topic of many but Jim is really an eclectic painter, painting that which touches a soft part of his heart. Therefore, it is not unusual to find portraits, animals, landscapes, birds, still lifes and florals in his portfolio. Jim tries to spend some time every day in his "art room" doing what brings great joy, peace and wonder to this "gent."

Her other interests are horticulture, floral design, and pottery. When Charlien first joined Prairie Artists Guild in 1990, she changed her medium from oil to water and has experimented with different techniques.
