National Championship Preview: 10 Things to Know About Minnesota-Duluth
Ahh the words that I've been waiting to write since I started this blog back in 05. Tonight the Michigan Wolverines could become NCAA Champions for the first time since 1998--and the first time since I completely fell in love with Michigan hockey.
The only team standing in our way is the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs, who seek to become the first team since 1993 to win their first NCAA Championship. Here are ten things to know about UMD.
1) They finished the regular season in fourth place in the WCHA, one point behind our first round opponent, Nebraska-Omaha. They are 25-10-6 on the season and were 15-8-5 in the WCHA and 3-1-0 on neutral ice. They started the season on a tear, going 11-1-2 out of the gate. They faltered down the stretch and went just 4-5-2 heading into the NCAA Tournament, with two of the wins in the first round of WCHAs.
2) They did okay against NCAA Tournament Teams, but certainly not great. They were 1-2 against North Dakota, 1-1 against Denver, 0-1-1 against CC, and 1-1 against Omaha. Then they obviously beat Union, Yale, and Notre Dame in the NCAA Tournament.
3) The offense is solid. They finished the year 11th in goals per game at 3.41, which is .06 ahead of where Michigan ended up. They have three of the top 12 in points per game, however, in Jack Connolly, Justin Fontaine, and Mike Connolly (no relation). Jack averaged one assist per game, second to only Hobey Baker-winner Andy Miele in that regard. That line combined for 44% of UMD's offense this season.
I've talked to some people here in WCHA country who swear the Connollys are the two best forwards in the WCHA.
They get some offense from the blueline, but it's almost entirely due to Justin Faulk, their Merrill. He was a second-round pick of Carolina and has 8-25--33 in his freshman year. Six of those tallies were on the power play. They had gotten 12 points in 17 games out of Dylan Olsen, but he went pro around New Years. The remainder of the defense corps combines for 35 points. As a whole (including Faulk) they have 6 goals while not on the man advantage.
4) Where the offense really gets scary is on the power play. Both Connollys have 7 markers with the man advantage, while Fontaine has 12, good for second in the country. As a whole, their power play is 7th in the country at 23.3%. They've scored 49 PPGs on the year and have only given up three shorthanded.
You only have to look to the Notre Dame game to see how good they can be when they are rolling, however. UMD was 3 for 6 in that game. They were 3 for 9 against Yale and 2 for 8 against Union. All in all, 8 of their 11 goals in the NCAA Tournament have come with the man-advantage. Over the past 11 games, their power play has cashed in on 33.3% (17 of 51).
The lesson here: STAY OUT OF THE BOX!!!!!! Or kill penalties like against North Dakota if you do end up in the sin bin.
5) Defensively, the Bulldogs are 17th, giving up 2.59 goals per game. (As a reference, Michigan has risen to 6th in the national rankings, at 2.21 goals per game.) Their goalie is senior Kenny Reiter. He's 15-7-5 on the season with a 2.32/.914. He's played well in the NCAA Tournament (Most Outstanding Player at the East Regional) but gave up a major softie to get Notre Dame back in the game in the third period. I heard the other two goals weren't anything special either. He can be beaten. From the limited amount that I've watched Duluth in the NCAAs, he seems like a decent puckhandler.
6) The PK is middle of the pack: 27th at 82.2%. (Michigan is 21st at 83.4%.) They have 7 shorties, we have eight. They've been shorthanded 4 more times than Michigan all season. Duluth gets the advantage on the special teams because their power play is much better than ours.
7) The teams haven't played since October of 2001, when they beat us 3-2. I distinctly remember that we were highly-ranked at the time, they were not good. I was working at the Michigan Union Bookstore that day, and when I checked the score line I ended up being really pissed off. Let's not repeat that. Why do I remember that, and I probably couldn't tell you what I had for dinner two days ago?
8) Jack Connolly was named to the All-West First Team as an All-American. Mike was on the second team, along with Carl Hagelin.
9) Fontaine has points in 11-straight games and has been held off the scoresheet on just three occasions since the start of 2011. He has 11 multi-point games since January 1, including four in the postseason so far. He had three assists against Notre Dame in the semifinals. Jack had an 11-game point streak of his own snapped a few weeks ago, but he has also scored in all but three games this calendar year and has 2-2--4 in the NCAA Tournament. Most of that damage came against Yale. Mike has been held off the scoresheet on five occasions in 2011, but had a five-goal game against Minnesota(!). Strangely enough, that was his only multi-goal game since OCTOBER. And he had FIVE. He has 2-3--5 in the NCAAs. Again, most of that damage (1-3--4) was against top-seed Yale.
10) Travis Oleksuk has just 13 goals on the year, but seven were game-winners. A second-generation Bulldog, he's been their Mr. Clutch.
In reading up about Duluth, it sounds like they're scary offensively, but are largely a one-line team. Michigan will have last change in this game, which is a good sign as we can get Rust's line out there against the Connollys. The defensemen don't activate often, but Faulk is as good as it gets at both ends of the ice. He's got a killer shot on the power play, and that opens things up for the Connollys and Fontaine down low.
Reiter is a pretty good goalie who was excellent in the East Regional, but struggled against Notre Dame.
If Michigan comes out with one more effort like the last three, I fully expect to have "one for the other thumb" tonight. It should be a great game and it could go either way, but I like having last change, I like the way Michigan is playing right now defensively, I love the way they've been killing penalties, they've shown the ability to shut down a ridiculous top line, and Shawn Hunwick is the best goalie in the country right now.
I'm getting ready to head out the door to St. Paul. GO BLUE!

This isn't going to help anything... But does anybody know why Red didn't call a time out after the third or fourth time in a row Michigan iced the puck in OT? I don't remember him calling it earlier, it's not like he needed to save it for an empty net situation to draw up a play and the new rules would have allowed him to not only rest those players, but to change lines, despite the icing. Maybe he did already call his time out and I missed it, or maybe this is already answered somewhere else and I missed it and obviously hindsight is 20-20, but I'm curious...

Re-read your preview and it's scary accurate how the game turned out. Michigan killed PP's? check. Hunwick played like the best goalie going? check. Stay out of the box or lose? check. Oleksuk is a killer clutch player? check. Damn, its probably checkmate on that last one.

Q: Custom UITableViewCell with custom drawing I have a custom subclass UITableViewcell which uses a xib. I have a custom edge drawing on a CAShapeLayer which I renew the drawing on all layoutSubviews calls.
The issue is frames are getting updated correctly on iOS 8.1, but not on 8.4 and 9.0.
Am I missing something?
Here is the custom UITableViewCell
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
    [super awakeFromNib];

    [self.thumb.layer setBorderWidth:2.0f];
    [self.thumb.layer setBorderColor:[[AppConfiguration color2] CGColor]];
    [self.thumb.layer setCornerRadius:self.thumb.frame.size.width / 2];
    [self.thumb setClipsToBounds:YES];

    self.containerBottom.layer.shadowColor = [[UIColor r:189 g:189 b:189] CGColor];
    self.containerBottom.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
    self.containerBottom.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0f;
    self.containerBottom.layer.shadowRadius = 1.0f;
}

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];

    self.containerTop.backgroundColor = self.color;

    if (self.masklayer.superlayer)
        [self.masklayer removeFromSuperlayer];

    [self drawing:self.containerTop];

    [self.containerTop.layer addSublayer:self.masklayer];

    self.containerTop.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
    self.containerTop.clipsToBounds = NO;
}

+ (OperatorTableViewCell *)cell
{
    NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:NSStringFromClass([self class]) owner:nil options:nil];

    return [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}

- (void)drawing:(UIView *)view;
{
    CGFloat radius = 5;

    NSInteger waves = floor((view.frame.size.width / (radius * 2)));
    radius = (view.frame.size.width / waves) / 2;

    NSLog(@"Frame: %@", NSStringFromCGRect(view.frame));

    self.masklayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];

    UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];

    CGPoint point = CGPointMake(0, view.frame.size.height - 3);

    [path moveToPoint:point];

    for (int i=0; i < (view.frame.size.width / (radius * 2)); i++)
    {
        if (i == 0)
        {
            point = CGPointMake(radius, point.y);
        }

        [path addArcWithCenter:point radius:radius startAngle:M_PI endAngle:M_PI * 2 clockwise:NO];
        point = CGPointMake(point.x + radius * 2, point.y);
    }

    self.masklayer.path = path.CGPath;
    self.masklayer.fillColor = view.backgroundColor.CGColor;
}

Please note that when I highlight the cell it causes layoutSubviews to get called and it fixes the issue. Which also seems weird to me. Highlighting the cell shouldn't cause a frame change.

I'm back after a week in the United States + a week of flu… now it's time for Remlok Industries to restart its engines!
Our weekly Elite: Dangerous summary "The Outpost #71" is ready, for the community.
Elite: Dangerous boasted of a 10-year development plan when it came out, but time flies and we've already made 1/4 of the way: two years and a half in Elite! While the game continues to bring new features, some fragile improvements on existing content and many patches since launch; The community, on the other hand, is becoming more and more ponderous about the content already available in-game whose mechanics and functioning are to be reviewed and improved deeply.
Zac Antonaci, Manager of the Frontier Community Team, has just recently communicated about the future of the game: 2.4 and beyond.
A Global Update 2.3.1 will be deployed on June 27, along with the launch of Elite: Dangerous on PlayStation 4. This will bring a lot of bug fixes while improving network stability and connectivity. There will also be the awaited change on the Anaconda cockpit and an increased safety for the Multicrew pilots, in order to better manage the modules available to the crew members. A beta will be available to test all of these beforehand.
We know a bit more about the mysterious Update 2.4 functioning: it will be different from the other Updates where all the content was available on D-Day. With this 2.4, the content and features will be deployed as the plot continues course in-game. There is no doubt that the story we are living in for 2 years 1/2 will now finally leads to great changes in-game! We will learn more about this during the E3 on the 13th and 14th of June. Obviously, I will summarise all of these new info.
The season 2 Horizons will end with the 2.4. "It certainly isn't the end of this amazing journey… we're only just getting started!" said Zac. The next Updates will focus on existing content to improve the features, quality of life (QoL), gameplay among other surprises. More details should follow in early July. Nothing new about the economic model to follow, which should be different from the seasons we have known.
What are you waiting from this 2.4, and what do you want to improve in the existing content?

Neither the Empire nor the Federation elected to respond to Halsey's statement.
◘ 24th of May – For the past few days, news feeds in the Varati system have provided extensive coverage of the maiden voyage of the Gnosis, a scientific-research vessel commissioned by the Canonn Interstellar Research Group. The state-of-the art ship is the result of a community initiative that saw the public contribute huge quantities of material. In fact, the response from the galactic community was so positive that construction was completed ahead of schedule. The ship has now taken up position in orbit around Varati A6, and has already begun welcoming visitors and dignitaries from the core systems.
◘ 25th of May – In recent weeks, both the Empire and the Federation have accelerated their expansion plans in the Maia and Merope systems, deploying dozens of ships and establishing a number of outposts. The latest phase of these campaigns will see both superpowers constructing bases in the Pleiades region. The Empire has authorised the Merope Expeditionary Fleet to coordinate its campaign, while the Pleiades Resource Enterprise has agreed to oversee the Federal appeal. Both organisations have placed open orders for construction materials, promising to reward pilots who deliver tantalum, building fabricators and thermal cooling units to their respective bases of operation – PRE Logistics Support Gamma for the Federal campaign and Moni's Hub for the Imperial initiative.

Roman Republic and Empire, I
by Rushdoony Radio | Master Feed, World History
A Christian Survey of World History
Listen to Lecture
*This is an unedited and unofficial print version of R.J. Rushdoony's lecture.
R.J. Rushdoony: 00:00 … under God, our Heavenly Father, for the right to supply grace and the certainty of [inaudible 00:00:06], we give you thanks. We thank thee, our Father, that thou who hast [inaudible 00:00:11]. We [inaudible 00:00:11], so that we can rest assured that all the days of our life, thine hand will be upon us, O Lord. And so, our God, we come into thy presence in this confidence, to prepare ourselves for thy service, know more of thy workings in times past and at times to come. We praise thee for thy grace unto us, age after age, and we rejoice in thy mercy. Lift us, our Father, and strengthen us in thy service. In Jesus' name, Amen.
R.J. Rushdoony: 00:54 Tonight we continue our study of ancient history and our survey of world history by dealing, first of all, with the Roman Republic, chapter eight. And as I've said previously, if you have read the text before coming, it will enable you to understand better what you have read and what I say, because the text and the lectures complement each other. It has been our purpose in these lectures to try to understand the faith behind the events in particular periods of history. And therefore our concern tonight is therefore, first of all, with the Roman religion. The word piety and pious come from Latin, from Roman civilization, and it tells us a great deal about Rome when we understand what the world pious means. The word pious means, in Latin, a man who is subordinate to authority. Ultimately, the authority of the state as the highest authority.
R.J. Rushdoony: 02:14 Thus, in Roman religion, a pious man was ultimately a statist man. Now, it did involve authority to parents and to employers and to people in the immediate vicinity, but the ultimate authority of the pious man's obedience was the state. This is a very important fact because it tells us something about the life of Rome and its religion. Tertullian, centuries later in the Christian era, ridiculed the Romans because he said, "The Senate of Rome can make and unmake gods," and this was indeed true. The ultimate power in their religion was the state. Emperors were made gods because of the services they had rendered to the state, so that, ultimately, it was the Roman state that was divine, the Roman state that was the object of faith.
R.J. Rushdoony: 03:26 Rome began primarily as a state. There are a great many stories about Romulus and Remus and how the two brothers, who had been abandoned as twins when they were small children and up grew wild, nursed ostensibly by a she-wolf, built the city when they were young men, hardly more than boys, in terms of our thinking. Now historians treat this story as a myth, because historians, of course, are given very much to treating anything that is old as a myth. In Voltaire's day, which was only two or three centuries ago, the idea was that anything before their day was automatically suspect and a myth. There is no reason to doubt that there is some truth to the Romulus and Remus story, and it tells us something psychologically about Rome that is very important.
R.J. Rushdoony: 04:37 And here I shall quote a passage from my own book, The One and the Many, in which I deal with this Romulus and Remus story. And I quote, "It is today a mark of intellectual respectability to treat ancient records as non-historical, but even an elementary respect for the Roman record points to rather startling conclusions. Two boys, abandoned twins, set out to found a city. Romulus plowed a furrow as the first wall around the planned city, with a trench or furrow as a moat and the overturned earth as the wall. By this act, he created his sacred city. His brother Remus expressed his contempt for the wall and moat by leaping across them into the city, whereupon Romulus killed him at once, declaring, 'So perish all who cross my walls!' Rome thus began, first, with two boys abandoned by their family, and second, with the murder of a brother as its first sacrifice.
R.J. Rushdoony: 05:49 "The priority of the city to the family is emphatically set forth. But this is not all. Third, the first citizens were not members of a common family. That is, no relatives of Romulus, but neighboring shepherds, outlaws, and stateless persons. The city made them Romans, not ties of family or of blood. [inaudible 00:06:18]. Roman family life and Rome's first alliance began by an assault on the family, when the woman-less men joined in the rape of the Sabine women, with an ensuing war against their fathers, ending in peace and a close alliance, when the Sabine women who had been carried off by the Romans interceded with their fathers to restore peace." Unquote.
R.J. Rushdoony: 06:45 Now, this is a very interesting thing. The family was very important in Rome. Extremely important, but always subordinate to the state, so that Rome began its history not as evolutionary people would have us to believe of cultures, with first the family and then the clan, and then the tribe, and then the city, and then the broader country. It began as a city, before there was a family. And the families that were important were those that were most associated with the life of the city, but the ultimate authority was always the city. The state. The government. So that Rome clearly, from the beginning, gave priority to statism. The state was very important, thus, in Rome, and it was the answer to things. Whenever there was a problem, the answer was the state.
R.J. Rushdoony: 08:04 And as a result, very early, a number of powers were created to enable the state to cope with emergencies. We would say they had their own set of executive orders. Now, in the early years, Rome was a monarchy with elected kings. Then they dispensed with the monarchy and formed a republic. But even in the days of the republic, the laws stipulated that if anytime there was an emergency, Rome would become a total dictatorship for six months, so that anytime the Senate could vote a total dictatorship and a private dictator whose term ran for six months. If the crisis ended before, he could surrender the dictatorial powers, and some did, before the time was over. At the end of the six months, the Senate could renew it.
R.J. Rushdoony: 09:13 Now, this plan was a very effective one for war. They were thus not only a statist people, they were a military people. And so their answer to things was to organize in terms of statism and war. Well, in wartime, it is very important to have a central command. Extremely important. And if you dilute the command, you dilute the strength. This is war. It's an interesting sidelight here that Nazi Germany had a centralized command with civilian control, which actually diluted it. There were too many channels to go through, and when the war was over, American officers went over there to ask them what they thought of their own semi-Pentagon structure with army, navy, and air corps unified with civilians at the top, and all the German admirals and generals said it was a mess. It bogged things down. It led to trouble.
R.J. Rushdoony: 10:32 The only one who did not say so was the tank car general, Hans Guderian. And Guderian was so contemptuous of the United States that he didn't want to give them any good advice, so he's the only one who recommended it. And he recommended it with evil intentions. And they took his advice against every other general and admiral. So, you see, this is the way it is with people when they ask for advice. They go searching until they find the one person who gives them what they want to say. So in Hans Guderian, the man who hated the US most, they got the advice they wanted, and it hasn't done us any good. Of course, this idea of centralizing everything was ineffective for peace, but the Romans, as a military and a statist people, saw all problems in military and statist answers. Give strong power to one man to solve the problems.
R.J. Rushdoony: 11:39 This, of course, was ultimately the downfall of Rome. Every answer they gave was some kind of governmental control. Law came from the state. Religion came from the state. Ancestor worship was in the background of the Romans. This is an interesting fact, because people tell us, "Well, ancestor worship, of course, is family-oriented." But is it? The curious fact is that wherever you have ancestor worship in the world, you have strong statism, totalitarianism. The background of China is ancestor worship, and China has not been noted as a country for liberty. Japan, of course, Shintoism is ancestor worship. And again, Japan has not been noted for having a free kind of government until after World War II. Why does ancestor worship, which supposedly is family-oriented, actual mean statism? Well, the point is that when you have ancestor worship, it isn't the family as such that you're honoring. The family is a living thing. When you worship ancestors, you're worshiping the dead and their authority. A vague kind of rule which coalesces around the emperor, who himself may become a god, or the ruler, or the state.
R.J. Rushdoony: 13:41 How much family authority was there in old China? Well, people who first went over there after photography was invented and took pictures of old China, found that the Chinese believed that when you took someone's picture, you captured their soul, and he would die soon. So naturally, a lot of people didn't want to be photographed. But the interesting thing was that everywhere they went, families were dragging out grandpa and grandma, and momma and papa, and demanding that the photographer take their picture. Now, is that a strong family life? Or sometimes, they were asking that their husband's or wife's picture be taken, too. Now, of course, that's no sign of family life. And yes, that was, tragically, what photographers found when they first went there, before all the superstition died. So the family life was not strong. Ancestor worship does not strengthen the present family. It strengthens the dead, whose power accrues to the state.So ancestor worship in Rome did not mean that the family was strong, but that there was authority in the clan and the state.
R.J. Rushdoony: 15:28 It's commonly said that the old Romans were men of character and men of great virtue, and so on. Well, this is questionable. Their character was there, it was character of a sort, but could we really call it character in a Christian sense? Was it good? Actually, the thing that characterized the Romans throughout their history was a feeling that the flesh, the body, represented something lower, so that in the days of the Republic, to give into the flesh was something disgraceful. For anyone who was a person of any consequence to kiss his wife in public was shameful. In fact, I believe that a Senator was once disgraced because he had kissed his wife at the door of their house. Cato the elder once said that the only time he'd ever hugged his wife was when it thundered and she ran into his arms for protection.
R.J. Rushdoony: 16:54 Any indulgence, therefore, of things material was very much frowned upon, especially by the men. The women were not quite as sold on this sold of thing, so that in the days of the Republic, one of the problems was that the men frowned very much on drinking, and the women … their wives were much more given to taking a little nip now and then. So spiced wines became very popular among the women, because they could take a drink when they sat around to visit and chat and have their gossiping parties, and with a spiced wine, they could kill, with very strong spices, the smell of the wine. And about the only time in those days of the Republic that the Roman men would kiss their wives was when they wanted to see if there were any liquor on their breath. Now, the kind of thing you see that people today talk about when they talk about being Puritanical characterized the Romans in those days. And, in more recent history, the Unitarians of the last century. Not the Puritans, the real Puritans. This characterized the Romans.
R.J. Rushdoony: 18:20 The reason, as I indicated, was a contempt of the flesh. Later on, when their pagan character broke down and they become an extremely licentious people, profligate and immoral to the extreme, they still had this contempt of the flesh. And this is why they so readily went into perversions, because their idea of being sexual was not anything normal or Godly or healthy, it was perverted to the Nth degree. We'll deal with that a little more when we get into the empire. Because the Roman religion was a statist religion, their program of salvation, of course, was therefore statist. And as a result, their every answer to things was political. In our text, I deal with what was the New Deal in Ancient Rome, when the Gracchi brothers offered their plan of salvation for Rome. And it's very interesting to go back and read the history of the times.
R.J. Rushdoony: 19:43 I recall, when I was still a student, there was a young woman I knew, and a very superior girl. A very, very intelligent girl. And I used to see quite a bit of her in a purely platonic way. We knew a lot of people in common. But unfortunately, she was very strongly influenced by Marxism, and as I was reading history, and of the Roman Republic, I ran across statements of the day that sounded just like the Marxist statements of today, and the New Deal statements, because that was the days of the New Deal and FDR, about driving the money-changers from the temple and the exploitation by the rich of the poor, and the middle man, and so on and so forth, all the same old garbage, way back then. Of course, her answer was, "That proves the Marxist theory of society is true." What it actually proves is that in every age, men as sinners want a scapegoat.
R.J. Rushdoony: 21:09 Of course, the Gracchis came along with this, blaming everybody for everything. And the Gracchi brothers, one after another, took over the government and imposed a New Deal on Ancient Rome. It didn't solve anything, but made everything worse. They were assassinated, and, of course, they had a marker for the cause. From there on, the Roman Republic progressively moved into civil war as hatred has fanned between the Roman aristocracy and the plebs. And of course, just as in this country it was an aristocrat, Roosevelt, who took over the leadership of the plebs, the common people, so in Ancient Rome it was aristocrats, degenerate aristocrats like Julius Caesar, who took over the revolution and carried it to a success in the name of the people and made the people the real victims. But then as now, they did it. They robbed the people by saying, "It is the system. It's the aristocrats. It's the moneylenders. It's the capitalists," and so on.
R.J. Rushdoony: 22:33 Now to pass onto the ninth chapter. On page 65, the second paragraph, I sum up this problem that marked Rome and its downfall. Page 65, the second paragraph, near the bottom of the page. " The Roman answer to the problem of man had been defined. First, man's problem was not sin but lack of political order, and this political order the divine and Messianic state provided. Second, Rome answered the problem of the one and the many, that is, the individual versus the group, in favor of the oneness, the unity of all things in terms of Rome. Hence, over-organization, undue simplification, and centralization increasingly characterized Rome. This, then was the problem. They said that it is not sin. Oh, no. That was not the answer. It was lack of political order. Lack of strong, central, unified government."
R.J. Rushdoony: 23:59 In the text, I point out how Julius Caesar gained power. It was really a religious and Messianic program. His keyword was clementia, mercy, forgiveness, grace, but without regeneration. And forgiveness without regeneration is, of course, the program of man today. We should forgive people even though they're not regenerated, even though they've made no restitution. And, of course, the very men Julius Caesar forgave were among those who … Well, they were the ones who stabbed him. His mercy changed no one. His forgiveness did not remove sin. But Rome was not ready to say the problem was sin, only lack of political power. And as a result, there was a steady concentration of power into the hands of the councils, and finally in the hands of the emperors.
R.J. Rushdoony: 25:31 It's very interesting. The first emperor, Octavius, or Octavian, gained power by ostensibly reviving the old republic and its constitution. He leaned over backwards to look like Mr. John Doe, average man. Very simple and unassuming, very modest. Observing all the old ways and talking about the glories of the Republic and how they had to observe the old laws, even while, in reality, he created the empire irrevocably. This, very definitely, was his strategy, this modest front. It is interesting how Octavian gained power as against Antony and Cleopatra when the showdown came. It was a question, after Julius Caesar was assassinated, who would come out on top: Antony, Mark Antony, or Octavian. Octavian was the young fellow in the situation, in his twenties. All the odds were against him, seemingly inexperienced. Mark Antony was a popular man, a veteran hero and commander of the forces. Very powerful. On top of that, he allied himself with one of the shrewdest women of history, Cleopatra.
R.J. Rushdoony: 26:57 There's a great deal of nonsense about Cleopatra, as though she were a sex-bot. This is nonsense. Cleopatra was a hard-headed, calculating woman whose purpose was world empire. She ruled Egypt and a great deal of the Middle East. She knew that Roman military power was superior to hers, and she would not be able to resist it, and so she made an alliance, had an affair with Julius Caesar. They had a child who was later put to death, and figured that in league with Julius Caesar, they would rule the world and create a worldwide empire. She had a magnificent dream, an unscrupulous one. She at first put her half-brother, who was her husband, to death, so there would be no one in the way when she had her alliance with Julius Caesar. So she immediately went for Mark Antony, and one would think that with that tremendous combination of power, they would've won.
R.J. Rushdoony: 28:13 Because the empire was divided into two zones of influence, one for Octavian and one for Mark Antony. And Mark Antony got Greece and portions of the middle east that were far richer. Why did they lose? Well, supposedly, Mark Antony lost the battle. But actually, his troops deserted, many of them before the fighting got underway. Why? Mark Antony was a veteran military man. He should have run Octavian off the map without any trouble. The key was money. Octavian came from a background of gold merchants, and he knew the value of good, hard money. Gold coins. Silver coins. Nothing else. But Mark Antony did not have such a view, and he and Cleopatra began to issue counterfeits, coins that were just thinly washed with gold. And the troops were being paid off with these. Well, Mark Antony and Cleopatra were living it up.
R.J. Rushdoony: 29:37 And, of course, very quickly, those coins would wear down to the copper, and the merchants didn't want the money that these soldiers wanted to spend. And an army that finds its getting paid in counterfeit loses its loyalty to its general. So Mark Antony was the old hero, but they weren't interested in what he was five or 10 or 15 or 20 years ago. They thought he was fine then. But what about our paychecks now? We're being paid off with worthless counterfeits. And so he was doomed before he went to battle. The army and the navy knew who had paid them off in good money. They had been told that. Go over to Octavian. He'll give you real wages. Now, that's what counts.
R.J. Rushdoony: 30:39 They're still wondering in Washington why, suddenly, when they thought they had all the votes lined up in the UN, they lost that with regards to nationalist China. And none of the great powers except Japan really stood with them. Britain and all the other countries deserted us. Why? Well, remember? We, not too long before all that, spoke about the non-convertibility of the dollar. We weren't going to pay off. And when you've welshed on your debts, you don't have many friends. Mark Antony found that out and committed suicide, and so did Cleopatra. They had some to the end of the road. Everything in their favor, and they blew it. They blew it. Everything was in our favor, and we are blowing it. The economic crisis came again before too long, because Octavian's hard common sense in this respect was forgotten by the Romans.
R.J. Rushdoony: 31:57 You know, in the last volume of his World War II memoirs, Churchill says, "And thus ended the greatest war of history, after which the great powers returned to the policies which very nearly destroyed them." And the policies which had destroyed Mark Antony and Cleopatra, they became the policies to which Rome, after a century or two, returned. Bad money. The law of the state replacing economic law. And, of course, increasingly, because of the tradition started bad, way back, centuries before, in the days of the Republic, a welfarism. The welfare rose, growing and growing. Bread and circuses, and the circuses more and more catering to the perverted taste that was developing in the Romans because of their false view of the body of flesh.
R.J. Rushdoony: 33:14 There are practically no books that tell the truth about the Roman circus. Day after day, the arena opened for welfare people and for the well-to-do for all classes. Every kind of act of perversion. Not only gladiators fighting to the death and chariot races, Christians being thrown to the lions and other animals, but these animals being trained, first of all, to rape the victims, and then to kill and eat them. And much, much more. One of the most frightful eras in world history. There are many fine scholars like B. B. Warfield, one of the great reform scholars of a couple generations ago, who have held, and I think with reason, that when Scripture speaks of a great tribulation, it was speaking about that which the people of the early Church were going to face in Rome. It was a fearful thing. I had intended to bring the account of the martyrdom of one girl from the early second century. Perhaps I can remember to bring it next time to give you an idea of that which happened in those days.
R.J. Rushdoony: 34:51 But the Christians stood their ground, one great persecution after another. That's beyond our story now. We'll come to that next time. The circus was a familiar place for them, because so many died there most horribly. But the circus was basic to Roman religion. In The One and the Many, I point out why it was. It was a part of their perverted faith. Rome was going downhill. In 312, Constantine the Great came to power, accepting Christianity and making it the faith of the empire. His point was purely pragmatic. He may have been, in a very weak way, a believer. He was clearly a great man. But he saw that there was only one element in the empire that had any health in it and that could save the empire. It was near death. It was collapsing.
R.J. Rushdoony: 36:09 Diocletian, just before Constantine, had passed the most stringent types of controls, as I point out in the text, such vicious controls that a man who had a shop had no choice but to close his shop. He could not maintain it in terms of the rules, and if he broke the rules, he would've been executed. So it was better to close up shop and face starvation. And the empire just fell apart. And at the same time, the most savage persecution of Christians of all, determined to wipe them out to the last man. Constantine felt, "These people are the most law-abiding, hardworking, and most hopeful element in the empire. We've got to use them instead of killing them off." So he approached Christianity pragmatically. He accepted it nominally. He may have come to believe it. He was baptized only on his deathbed.
R.J. Rushdoony: 37:24 But it was 312 only, 98 years before Rome fell. And even then, Constantine recognized that the days were numbered, that it would be next to impossible to save the empire, that the best hope was to find a new capital and a new center and to try to make a better beginning there. And he made Constantinople, named after him, the new capital, and began the construction of a great center for the empire then. He was wise in his choice, because the eastern half of the empire, known as Byzantium, lasted for a thousand years, better than a thousand years, falling only in 1492. But many people found it hard to believe that Rome would fall. The emperors who followed Constantine, one of them was an apostate, hating Christianity and again trying to destroy it. Julian, the apostate.
R.J. Rushdoony: 38:44 The others were nominal Christians, but actually they were Arians, heretics, dedicated to its destruction. To them, the most desirable thing at all was to use the Christians and to use the Church to salvage the empire, and therefore they would profess Arianism, which did not believe in Christ as the Son of God and as savior, and which held to a doctrine of God which was really no different from that of [inaudible 00:39:21] and the Death of God school today, because they declared that God neither speaks nor thinks nor can reveal Himself. He's just kind of a vague, evolving power in the universe. He's not a person. And the emperors turned the Church over to the Arians, and the orthodox bishops were again and again persecuted, like Athanasius. We'll come to that, perhaps, next chapter. And so it was that Rome really went back to its persecuting policy after Constantine. There were one or two emperors that were tolerably good, that might past for Christians of a kind, but basically the empire continued its course and collapsed. It did not get overthrown. It collapsed. One general in Rome, who alone was able to defeat the enemies, was so distrusted by the Roman emperor that the one man who again and again had defeated the barbarians was arrested and executed because they were afraid that if he defeated … Well, that when he defeated the barbarians, he would claim powers alongside the emperor. But he was so loyal, he submitted to the arrest and execution, whereas if he had given the word, the army would have overthrown the emperor and fought beside him. And as a result, the army was wiped out. The barbarians simply marched into Rome. When they entered the Senate, they thought it was deserted and that the Senators sitting there were statues. And it was only when they went up to feel these lifelike-seeming statues that they jumped back, and then they proceeded with their slaughter. So Rome fell. But people everywhere found it hard to believe that Rome could fall. That civilization as they had known it could disappear. And one gentleman bishop, because already some were developing, I refer to in the last paragraph of this chapter, chapter nine. Even after Rome fell, many were unable to believe … This is page 72, at the bottom of the page: "Even after Rome fell, many were unable to believe that its fall were more than a temporary setback. In Southern France, the gentleman bishop Sidonius lived the life of Roman of the old order, with a villa in the hills, a library, a dining room with a fireplace, baths, and hunting parties as well as dinner parties.
R.J. Rushdoony: 43:02 "Although the barbarians were destroying cities and ravaging the countryside throughout the western empire, Sidonius could not believe that Rome was finished. As he wrote to a friend, 'Providence, I doubt not, will grant a happy issue to our prayers, and under new blessings of peace we shall look back upon these terrors as mere memories.' Soon after Sidonius' death, his own villa was burned, and the easy, cultured life he knew was gone. Providence, as always, had moved not in terms of men's wishes, but in terms of the unfailing law of God." People kept telling themselves, "Well" … People who were well-to-do like Sidonius, "Well, life the way we have it is too good for God to do away with it. After all, those barbarians don't bathe, and they're wild people, and certainly God couldn't favor them against us," forgetting that the judgment of God was upon Rome because to whom much is given, from him much is expected.
R.J. Rushdoony: 44:23 And as a result, the Sidoniuses of the day either died, and everything they had was destroyed, or they saw everything destroyed before their eyes. And the tragedy of it was that many who could've done something kept looking backward. They did not think about reconstruction. They thought about restoring what they had.
Speaker 2: 45:00 Please turn over the cassette and continue the message.
Rev. R.J. Rushdoony (1916–2001), was a leading theologian, church/state expert, and author of numerous works on the application of Biblical law to society. He started the Chalcedon Foundation in 1965. His Institutes of Biblical Law (1973) began the contemporary theonomy movement which posits the validity of Biblical law as God's standard of obedience for all. He therefore saw God's law as the basis of the modern Christian response to the cultural decline, one he attributed to the church's false view of God's law being opposed to His grace. This broad Christian response he described as "Christian Reconstruction." He is credited with igniting the modern Christian school and homeschooling movements in the mid to late 20th century. He also traveled extensively lecturing and serving as an expert witness in numerous court cases regarding religious liberty. Many ministry and educational efforts that continue today, took their philosophical and Biblical roots from his lectures and books.

But this error occured

Cannot match any routes. URL Segment:

actually routerlink add %2f before UpdateQuestionnaire.
why is this happening?
what's wrong in my code

A: Have you tried removing the slashes in your Router link like so:
[routerLink]=['Questionaire', item.questionnaireType, item.id, 'UpdateQuestionnaire']?
There seems to be a problem with slashes in routerlink as described in this post
I would post this as a comment, but since I don't have enough reputation I will post this as an answer, sorry about that.
I hope this clears stuff up for you.
Kind regards Chris

Comments Off on Michael Tolcher will entertain crowd at Get Down! Town, Solaris
In a musical era dominated by corporate rock, knee-jerk angst and bass-heavy hip hop of the bitches and ho's variety, quiet rocker Michael Tolcher is indeed an anomaly. His brand of well-crafted pop and lyrics heavy with positive, socially responsible vibes evolved not from focus groups or demographic-chasing. He did it the old-fashioned way, by loading his guitar in the van and getting out on the road, playing outdoor festivals, small venues and, oddly enough, the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, where his father served as chaplain.
It was in the pen where he met friend and mentor Dr. Mutulu Shakur, the father of slain rapper Tupac and inmate at said penitentiary, serving a 60-year sentence for conspiracy, racketeering and aiding in the prison break of Assata Shakur (aka Joanne Chesimard).
The unlikely guru was impressed with the young musician. '"In his music we are presented with the raw, clever rejection of the forces of NORM, without belligerences. The truth and depth of this artist inspires '— begs us for a time of total honesty,'" he says on the artist's website, michaeltolcher.com.
Tolcher has made his mark, sharing bills with Crosby, Stills & Nash, Sister Hazel, Everclear, the Pat McGee Band, Tonic, George Clinton & P-Funk, the North Mississippi All-stars and Cowboy Mouth. His current album, I Am, has been well received by critics and radio stations and showcases his brand of music. Yet there is little danger of Tolcher becoming a music-industry monster.
'"I try to stay focused on the art more than the career,'" he told YES! Weekly by phone from Minneapolis. '"I keep my formula real simple so I don't get carried away.'"
He'll be performing at the Get Down! Town event in Greensboro on Sat., Aug. 27, gracing the Turner South My South Rocks stage under the railroad trestle at 11:20 p.m.
Tolcher will also play a private party at Solaris at 5:30 p.m. that same day. The private event is sponsored by YES! Weekly and guest list information can be had by calling us here at 336.316.1231.

Q: How to run any component service in publish instance only in AEM/CQ5? I want run my service component in PUBLISH mode only, what should i need to add extra things to achieve this.
I have 1 Abc interface class and this is impementation of Abc and i want to run this service component in Publish mode only not in Author mode.
Code:
@Service
public class AbcImpl implements AbcService {
    .
    .
    .
    .
}

A: There are several ways to achieve this:

*

*Put this service in a different bundle and deploy this bundle only in your publish instances. This will obviously increase deployment complexity.

*Use the SlingSettingsService to determine whether or not the service is running on a publish instance. This option will make your code a little bit uglier and depending on the amount of public API your service provides it will add a reasonable amount of code.

*If the service uses configuration there is a neat little "trick" to set configurationPolicy = ConfigurationPolicy.REQUIRE and only provide configuration on those environments you want the service to start on. If you provide configuration only for publish instances but not for author instances the service will only start on publish instances. If your service does not have configuration you could make up "fake" configuration, like adding a "enabled" flag to enable and disable the service.

Code example for option 2:
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Component;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Reference;
import org.apache.sling.settings.SlingSettingsService;

@Component
public class MyService {

    @Reference
    private SlingSettingsService slingSettingsService;

    private boolean isPublish() {
        return this.slingSettingsService.getRunModes().contains("publish");
    }
}

You obviously will have to check isPublish in every public method you expose. On option might be to check this in the activate method of your service and throw an exception if isPublish() == false. But I am not 100% sure if this works well.

Note: As mentioned by user Abhishek in the comments, this might be considered a code smell (Source - Twitter.com).

Code example for option 3:
import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Component;
import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.ConfigurationPolicy;

@Component(configurationPolicy = ConfigurationPolicy.REQUIRE)
public class AbcImpl implements AbcService {
    [...]
}

This solution uses OSGi R6 annotations instead of Apache Felix SCR annotations. There should be similar options available for those as well.

HELENA, Mont. – State Auditor Monica Lindeen warns consumers to keep a watch out for a new scam. Montanans are receiving fake invoices from School Booster Co., a company from Kennewick, WA, which appear to be bills for a community high school activities calendar.
Lindeen says "School Booster Co." has no affiliation with Montana public schools and none of the revenue generated by the company supports Montana schools in any way.
Businesses in Lewistown and Missoula have reported receiving the fake invoices.

Thancoupie (1937-2011)
Thancoupie at work on ceramic piece in Jennifer Isaacs backyard, Sydney.
Photo: Jennifer Isaacs.
As a young girl at Weipa in Far North Queensland, Thancoupie knew that clay was sacred. "The men used to keep the clay in a special storehouse and we kids were not allowed to touch it."
But having painted with artists including Dick Roughsey (Goobalathaldin), with whom she held her first exhibition of paintings at Cairns in 1968, she became determined to work with the entrancing elements of clay.
In 1970, she thought of a painting course at East Sydney Technical College, but quickly switched to ceramics, graduating three years later to become the first Aboriginal solo ceramic artist.
Now acknowledged as one of Australia's leading ceramicists, Thancoupie uses clay to express herself and her intricate relationship with her land and its creatures, as well as with the elements of earth, fire and water. Soon she began to use her art to tell the old people's stories from Weipa, where she had grown up, and she began publicly using her totemic name of Thancoupie (meaning "wattle flower"). Essentially a ceramic sculptor, she creates forms and surface images which are symbolic: egg shapes are fertility symbols, spheres are the earth and the cycle of life.
In the last two decades, she has produced chalk-like surfaces with dark linear drawings of animals, fish and other figures who created the land around Weipa, Aurukun and the coastal areas of Cape York. She also depicts the plants and seafoods, with some recent forms suggesting yams and seed-pods.
Thancoupie has held 16 solo exhibitions and many combined exhibitions throughout Australia and overseas and she is represented in all major collections.
In 1986 she was appointed Australia's Cultural Commissioner to the Biennale of Sao Paulo and she has had solo exhibitions which toured through South America and to Houston, USA. In 2001 she was honoured with a retrospective exhibition at the Brisbane City Gallery.
She has also designed fabrics, murals and terrazzo works for public institutions.
Thancoupie founded the Weipa Festival and the Holiday Program for children in her tribal lands of Bouchat. She was a primary Thanaquith elder and a mentor for young North Queensland artists. In 1998 she was appointed a Doctor of Griffith University for her services to Aboriginal Arts. She is regarded as North Queensland's leading contemporary artist and has inspired a recognisable regional style of indigenous art. She received an AO in 2003.
More work by Thancoupie.

Further breaches are anticipated to guide to harder sanctions. The EFL in addition has issued harder protocols to clubs and joined forces utilizing the pro Footballers' Association to give twice-weekly screening using lateral circulation devices, that are less precise but faster and cheaper than the PCR examinations found in the Premier League.

Horse racing originated in the ancient world of the Greeks. And like a number of other events in history, this sport was forwarded to Romans that have learned to be obsessed with the sport. The Greeks back then incorporated this game in the Olympics, which helped it gain natural popularity.
The origin of the game in United Kingdom though begins with the importation of Arabian stallions into England during and after the Crusades. The combination of the stock from Middle East as well as the breeds in Europe resulted in the emergence of a swift runner having a steady build.
Horse racing in Europe was marked later with the growth of various racing arenas over the land. However, professional horse racing occurred during the 16th century once the great classics were established.
Even before America had got its American Jockey Club, Europe had already established the first governing body for horse racing. In accordance with this, they have already accomplished various things pertaining to horse racing.
The Jockey Club of England was established because of the movement initiated by the elite of horse racing. This then became the overseer of racetracks, races, standards for horse breeds, and event rules and regulations. In other words, they formalized the sport, as you may know in the present day during 1750s. The Jockey Club has also been the cause of the early determination of breeding lines of the horses.
Throughout the development of the game, various types were formed. They are called as the classics.
One of the most popular are St. Leger that was founded during 1776, the Oaks which was founded 3 years after, the following year produced the Derby, 2,000 Guineas in 1809 and 1000 Guineas that was created 5 years after.
St. Leger was founded by the former Irish soldier Lieutenant Colonel Anthony St Leger. The very first event under this category occured on September 24, 1776. It has the longest distance among the English Classics, which ran over 132 yards, 1m and 6f.
This horse racing event rooted from the race that was devised by Edward Smith Stanley who had been the Earl of Derby during 1779. Along with his friends, they meant to race only among themselves over 1 1/2 miles. It was named after his estate, Oaks. The race has become successful and the following year saw the second race of its kind.
The name of the race ended up being founded after the Earl won in a bet on flipped coin with his friend Sir Charles Bunbury, then was an excellent racing figure.

The Foundry Group director who's funded Fitbit and Zynga explains why market size is the most overrated factor for VCs investing in early-stage startups

Brad Feld is a managing director at Foundry Group, a VC fund with a portfolio that includes Fitbit, Zynga, and SendGrid.
He spoke on an episode of the Twenty Minute VC podcast with Harry Stebbings about why market size isn't the most important consideration for early-stage startups.
The danger with early-stage investments is overfunding a company before it has hit a clear success point, says Feld.

Not all VCs prioritize total available market (TAM), or the existing revenue opportunity, of the early-stage startups they invest in.
This is true for acclaimed venture capitalist Brad Feld, managing director of Foundry Group. When he initially looked at the market opportunities of the companies he invested in that would go on to be successful (Fitbit, Zynga, and SendGrid among then) he said that TAM was hard to discern. It could be zero, or it could be infinite.
As Feld explained to Harry Stebbings on a podcast episode of The Twenty Minute VC, looking at TAM isn't always helpful in a product-obsessed world — even if the startup seeks to replace an existing product.
"The interesting trajectory of that is that early in the life of a company, the product does matter a ton," Feld said. "As the company starts to grow and develop, the great founding CEOs start to view the company itself as the product."
In situations where TAM is either zero or infinite, the founding CEOs are a good indicator of how the company will scale. Some companies can fall apart if the founding CEOs get distracted and fail to take steps to help the company grow; other CEOs are intensely charismatic, but their persona hides cracks within the company's foundation.
Really good investors and entrepreneurs understand that the path to success is "a combination of endless experiments," says Feld. Foundry Group does still do larger financings for more established startups, but Feld stressed that until a company has clearly demonstrated success, he doesn't want to saturate it with capital. Feld is attracted to companies that have founders who aren't trying to optimize huge valuations or huge amounts of capital in the short term.
The danger of overfunding companies at an early stage
So, the key to securing funding at an early stage from Feld involves more than making a case for potential market size. This contrasts with what's been said by investors like Scott Kupor of Andreessen Horowitz, who previously told Business Insider that market size was the first real priority question in their decision to invest at an early stage.
"That's just a function of the fact that we're wrong, unfortunately, more often than we're right on these things," Kupor said. "We have to at least go into the decision at the outset thinking: 'OK, what could this be? If this is successful, how big can it be and what can it look like?'"
The problem with operating from a futuristic perspective is overfunding a company. Feld holds back from investing in a company in earnest until it has clearly hit a success point.
Feld would rather have multiple investment rounds through which he can invest at reasonable prices, rather than add an influx of capital into a company too early on at too high a price.
"The important thing from a venture perspective is not to respond one way or another to the availability or lack of availability of capital," Feld said, "but to go back to this notion of what we need to do independent of what these characteristics around capital are to build a valuable business over a long period of time."

Q: DataAnnotations and Resources don't play nicely I'm using dataannotations in an MVC2 app and am a little discouraged when trying to use RESX file resources for error messages.
I've tried the following but keep getting the exception "An attribute argument must be a constant expression, typeof expression or array creation expression of an attribute parameter type"
[Required(ErrorMessage = Resources.ErrorMessages.Required)]
[Required(ErrorMessageResourceName = Resources.ErrorMessages.Required,
          ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.ErrorMessages)]

I keep getting that error message unless I replace ErrorMessageResourceName with "Required" instead of Resources.ErrorMessages.Required.
Can anyone tell me if I'm doing this right?

A: Yes, what you're doing at the end is basically correct.  The ErrorMessageResourceName takes what the name implies, the name of a resource, not the resource itself.
Resources.ErrorMessages.Required points to the actual (localized) error message (resource). The name of the resource is simply "Required", and the type of the resource manager (used for ErrorMessageResourceType) is the class that contains that resource, in this case  the Resources.ErrorMessages class.
So your declaration should look like this:
[Required(ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.ErrorMessages),
    ErrorMessageResourceName = "Required")]
public string Something { get; set; }

When people think of essential oils the thoughts of aromas, spas, beauty products and perfumes come to mind. Have you experienced the aromatic fragrances of essential oils? In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide plants with protection against natural predators and disease while playing a role in plant pollination. Essential oils have therapeutic benefits that effect us mentally, physically, and emotionally. The natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, and flowers are used to extract the oils from the plants that are so important in their benefits to humans.
There are numerous benefits to using essential oils which are most commonly used in food, as powerful cleansing and purifying agent, body care and to protect against environmental and seasonal threats,. They are commonly used individually or blended to create signature scents or support healthy cell function. The some of the most versatile essential oils are Lemon Lavender and Peppermint which are known have over 100 ways to benefit users. One example, lemon essential oil, not to be confused with lemon juice, is an excellent cleansing and purifying agent and has therapeutic properties extracted from the rind of the lemon through a cold press procedure. It's also a great detoxifier and aids in weight loss and has a positive effect on the nervous system. Lemon essential oils makes an excellent lemonade in addition to an excellent refreshing lemon water drink. Peppermint, another household favorite, makes us feel cooler on a hot day, and is also a wonderful breath freshener great for head tension and calms a upset stomach. Finally, their's lavender, the most widely used essential oil known for its relaxing therapeutic effects calming the nerves under stressful conditions. It makes a wonderful "lavender lemonade" and is an excellent for relaxing qualities, soothing accessional skin irritations and for a restful night's sleep.
When choosing essential oils, carefully research brands that identify their methods of harvesting, purity and potency. The purest form of essential oils are labeled with supplemental facts and are food grade. Consult an essential oil expert before applying any essential oils to the skin as all essential oils are NOT created equal, and proper education in essential oils is highly recommended to achieve the best results of natures truly natural solutions. Although the American medical profession has been slow to embrace the therapeutic therapies of essential oils, good scientific data is more abundant today supporting the therapeutic benefits of these plant based oils.


My friend C and I had planned to have lunch together. She is one of my closest friends. She is also gorgeous and very successful! We were standing in front of the restaurant and a woman approached us as if to ask for directions. Instead, she stopped and said, "I feel like I'm on a movie set. The two of you are so beautiful." It was a lovely compliment.
I'll tell you a little secret though. I used to be fat. Actually, I used to be obese. At 171cm, I weighed 89 kilograms. My BMI was 30. When I was pregnant with my first child, I developed gestational diabetes. I had all the risk factors of age, being overweight and ethnicity. I had to inject insulin four times a day to moderate the amount of glucose that would pass from me to my daughter. Unchecked the diabetes could have resulted in a larger Ofelia which would have made delivery more difficult. I could also pass diabetes to my daughter. During pregnancy, hormones inhibit the correct amount of insulin needed to regulate glucose in the body. After my daughter was born, I lost 20 kilograms. I looked and felt much better. During the second pregnancy, I had to inject once before bedtime which was a substantial improvement from the first.
I lost the weight by using Weight Watchers. I learned how to moderate my intake of carbohydrates. I eat an enormous amount of vegetables and a reasonable amount of protein. I lost the weight slowly. Eating is a habit and habits are hard to break, as we all know. I lost a kilo a month. Now, I weigh 69 kilograms. I have a little more to lose but I now have a healthy BMI of 23.
I love this dress. It makes me feel like a movie star. Compliments are wonderful especially when they are a result of hard work. And the cycling has helped enormously.
You certainly do have that 'Celebrity/Movie star' look.
Perhaps you could write a self help book and inspire a nation of beautiful people?
Just love the action shots! I hope we can see more of you in full flight!
