BNP's Red White and Blue Festival Cancelled.
santa claws | 25.05.2010 16:19 | Stop the BNP's Red White and Blue festival
According to Leicestershire BNP Regional Meeting Minutes.
Leicestershire BNP; Minutes of Regional Meeting, May 2010
The Meeting began with an excellent presentation by our East Midlands BNP Regional Fundholder who guided candidates and agents through all aspects of the paperwork needing to be completed following the General Election. It was agreed that all had learned more of the procedure which will stand Party members in good stead for future elections.
BNP Regional Elections Officer, Cllr. Wayne McDermott, followed with an analysis of the Election Results. He explained the facts, and the percentages, which showed how well BNP East Midlands region had done, contrary to the pessimistic reviews of the Party performance by opponents and the media.
EM saved deposits for the 1st. time (8), while the Greens only saved 5 across the whole country; at 34, the highest number of candidates, beating UKIP in 25 of 32 seats, and beating English Democrats in every seat they stood; attendance at several Hustings; an average of 4.5% vote, against 3% in 2005; all 7 seats contested in 2005 see growth in BNP support.
In Leicestershire, 3 deposits were saved with another missing by 8 votes; Leicester West a fantastic result of 6%, with the main area of vote determined. NWL was up 3.4% on 2005 with 6. 5%. Leicester East saw the BNP candidate being asked by Asian folk where they could vote for him as they don't want Keith Vaz.
The other Counties of the EM were discussed in depth; a shock result for Grantham and Stamford at 4.7%, an enormous amount of work by the candidate had paid off here; Boston & Skegness saved their deposit - and beat UKIP in their best seat in Lincolnshire; Derbyshire, a wonderful effort by Erewash - a new Branch - and Amber Valley, with 7% the 29th in the country. In Notts., Nottingham North and Ashfield were picked out for special mention.
Geoff Dickens, EM Regional Organiser, had attended an intensive 2-day AC Meeting, and he began by requesting questions from the floor concerning the current situation and online smears. These were taken after he had spoken of the enormous progress made by the Party, and the improvements which will be implemented:
We now have more members in the EM than there were in the country when Nick Griffin took over;
100s of enquiries and 300-400 to come;
Over 3.5 thousand more members than last year, with membership in 2005 tying in with percentage.
Geoff remarked that this time it was the South-West's turn to have problems (ours before, with Sadie Graham and her fellow wreckers).
He reiterated that most small Parties were squeezed out at the GE by the 'American Presidential' style Election; if Nick went, the problems would remain the same, and there is no-one who could take the pressure like him.
We own the Truth Truck, Jenny Noble has the receipt for £19,000 paid just before the RWB.
Midas is a facilitator, necessary where the BNP has been refused credit (e.g.: Barclays.
Regarding info packs, since April 1st. 10,000 had not been processed, thanks to Simon Bennett.
No longer will individuals be in sole charge of areas, the website being one; the Regional Press Officer will speak to the Press, and we do not speak to freelance journalists.
The Party will be encouraging younger, capable people, with a view to educating them into Party policies.
There will not be a RWB this year, but there will be an event. Contact your RO to find out more.
Sub-Regional Organisers will identify areas for mailshots.
A productive Question and Answer session followed. Due to the nature of the Meeting, there was no collection, raffle or teas to declare.
Geoff tells me that Mr. Dowson will be sending a (long!) article to LCV and we look forward to publishing that.
Wouldn't have anything to do with this would it? — Ho ho ho

Tis true — Cancelled Party
From the horse's mouth — Santas little helper
festical cancelled .. and the votes still keep going up — durruti02

[![Build Status](https://dl.circleci.com/status-badge/img/gh/macie/unittest.sh/tree/master.svg?style=shield)](https://dl.circleci.com/status-badge/redirect/gh/macie/unittest.sh/tree/master)
[![Maintainability](https://api.codeclimate.com/v1/badges/8af95532e36373322d1c/maintainability)](https://codeclimate.com/github/macie/unittest.sh/maintainability)

_Unittest is the standard test runner._

It follows the unix philosophy with a modern touch, so it is:

- easy to use: readable elm-inspired error messages & colorized output (if applicable)
- easy to package: POSIX-compatible & MIT license
- easy to extend: with pipelines & standard unix tools
- easy to replace: tests can be run manually (see: _[Brief theory of shell testing](#brief-theory-of-shell-testing)_).

Its simplicity makes it useful not only for testing shell scripts, but also for black-box testing of commands written
in any language.

## Usage

With basic call, it searches inside `tests\` directory for `test_*.sh` files with `test_*` functions:

```bash
$ unittest
tests/test_asserts.sh:test_assertEqual_equal_ints	PASS
tests/test_asserts.sh:test_assertEqual_unequal_ints	PASS
...
```

Result is reported to stdout. Non-zero exit code indicates, that some tests has failed. To be passed,
each test should exit with 0 code.

In addition to `test_*` functions, you can also define functions named:

- `xtest_*` - will be reported as SKIP (without error)
- `beforeEach` and `afterEach` - test preparation/cleanup code executed before/after each test function
- `beforeAll` and `afterAll` - test preparation/cleanup code executed once per file, before/after all test functions.

Tests can call `test` function, which extends [test](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/test.html)
command with readable error report (to stderr):

```bash
$ unittest
...
tests/test_number_assertions.sh:test_lessequal_mixed2	PASS

-- FAILED TEST [tests/test_output.sh:test_status_pass]

I expected:

    test '0' '-eq' '10'

to be true, but the result was false.

tests/test_output.sh:test_status_pass	FAIL
tests/test_output.sh:test_status_fail	PASS
...
```

For example tests see files inside [tests directory](./tests).

## Install

Using `curl`:
```bash
curl -fLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/macie/unittest.sh/master/unittest
chmod +x unittest
```

or with `wget`:

```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/macie/unittest.sh/master/unittest
chmod +x unittest
```

## Alternatives

Robert Lehmann created list of [the most popular shell testing tools](https://github.com/lehmannro/assert.sh#related-projects).
The main difference between them and this project: _unittest_ is idiomatic to unix. It uses only POSIX commands
and standard output with simple format. So the result can be easily transformed or extended.

The only comparable alternative is to run tests manually (as described below).

### Brief theory of shell testing

From its beginning, unix is test-friendly. The simplest shell test is based on exit codes:

```bash
$ command && echo PASS || echo FAIL
PASS
```

Commands which don't crash by default are quite common. Much useful tests verifies what command do (with
a little help from standard unix tools):

```bash
$ [ -n "$(command)" ] && echo PASS || echo FAIL
PASS
$ command | grep 'expected output' && echo PASS || echo FAIL
PASS
```

Tests for further usage can be wrapped by function inside shell script:

```bash
$ test_command.sh <<EOF
test_run() {
    command
}

test_output() {
    command | grep 'expected output'
}
EOF
```

Exit code of function is the same as exit code of the last command in function, so after sourcing we can use them as before:

```bash
$ . test_command.sh
$ test_output && echo PASS || echo FAIL
PASS
```

Finally, all tests from a file can be run with some `grep` and loop. And this is basically `unittest`.

That Ambo London Bus Advert; a cheap lie - News of the People http://www.newsofthepeople-ng.com covers every facet of Nigerian Entertainment industry and the world. From News, Gossip, Comedy, Videos, Blogs, Events, Weddings, Nollywood, Celebs, Scoops and Games, we serve our readers up-to-date information on showbiz personalities, profiling celebrities and news around them.
As 2019 electioneering gets near by the day, politicians are playing true to type: raising dust, throwing tantrums, by all means making feverish noise so that they can be heard or be seen to be hurling pebbles at opponents, especially frontrunners that they are unable to slow down.
Those peddling lies about Governor Akinwunmi Ambode's election campaign advert on a London double decker bus and the suggestion that public fund might have been deployed into that exercise deserve a response.
Their lie this time is too cheap and the Nigerian public should be told how cheap these people are.
I see how they have tried in vain to regurgitate a lie, circulating an old photo of one of the campaign adverts that were deployed in London towards Ambode's election in 2015.
I should know because I was directly involved in the processes that got not just the APC chapter in London involved but also a few pro-Ambode professionals and enthusiasts who formed themselves into formidable cluster groups across the UK and Ireland in a bid to ensure that the progressives retained the mantle of leadership in Lagos State. And more importantly to ensure that a tested manager of men and resources like Akinwunmi Ambode become governor at a critical time when several economies of the world were haermorraging.
Although they knew they had no voting power, but the Ambo UK supporters sure cherished how influential their campaigns could go among friends and folks back home; home where many of them have varying degrees of investments and will ultimately return to.
So with ideas and resources at their disposal, men, women and students in the diaspora behind Ambode's ambition joined hands and deployed creative campaign materials across various platforms in the UK not just to influence votes in Lagos but, more importantly, to create and accentuate the unique brand that Akinwunmi Ambode represents in the new political landscape of Nigeria that now has ample space for professionals, technocrats and people of integrity.
Of course that self-funded intervention by the supporters of Ambode and APC worked.
Three years after, everyone can see the sterling performance of this unassuming and unobtrusive accountant and the giant strides being recorded across sectors. The development in Lagos State affects people in the diaspora and that's why they make it their business to directly or indirectly influence who emerges either the governor of Africa's 5th largest economy or President of Nigeria as the continent's largest economy itself.
They knew the import of #NotTooYoungToRun bill and that's why they supported it and have applauded President Buhari for signing it into law. Getting Nigerians living legitimately abroad to be able to vote from their respective bases is yet another dream that must be realised so as to make exit votes count in choosing our leaders.
Before then, however, those who have a reason to root for candidates of their choice and put their money where their mouths are should be allowed.
Bringing out an old campaign photo that had served its purpose in 2015 cannot dent the image or reduce the chances of a man that is destined to touch many lives through people-oriented policies for another four years. Campaigns for 2019 elections have not yet started and so it stands logic in the head that a law-abiding governor and enlightened people behind him, at home and overseas, would flout the rules. Even if London buses and undergrounds are to be wrapped in Ambo garb again, if his UK supporters deem it fit, is it an old picture of the governor that would be used for such a major campaign in 2018/19? Let the naysayers swallow the chill pill and wait for the flag-down for the campaigns. There is a lot more fresh ideas from whence that lovely design of 2015 came from. The Ambode support base across Europe like in Nigeria has since grown in leaps and bounds and members are not tired of sowing into a good cause like campaigning for the re-election of an achiever whose works speak loudly and audibly for him.

Race Report: Salt Lake City 1 SX
By Staff April 25, 2021 8 Mins Read
The Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship made a dramatic return to Rice-Eccles Stadium with a thrilling event at Round 16. Red Bull KTM's Marvin Musquin took the 450SX Class win, his first since 2019, with one round remaining in 2021. Red Bull KTM's Cooper Webb crossed the checkers right on Musquin's rear wheel for a second-place finish and Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha's Malcolm Stewart earned his career-first 450SX Class podium with a third-place finish in front of the limited-capacity, pod-seated fans inside the open stadium. The Eastern Regional 250SX Class racers returned to racing after a 10-week break and Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Jo Shimoda earned his first-ever win with a display of speed and composure under pressure to take the championship battle to the final round.
When the gate dropped for the 450SX Class Main Event it was Team Honda HRC's Ken Roczen who grabbed the holeshot and immediately took control. Roczen sat second in the title points, down by 16 to Webb, and looked completely in command as Webb struggled to recover from a ninth place start. Musquin sat in second and lost time to Roczen in the early laps as defending champion Monster Energy Kawasaki's Eli Tomac tried to fight forward from just inside the top ten after a bad start.
Webb moved quickly up to fourth with Malcolm Stewart putting heavy pressure on him, making several near-passes as the two tried to climb forward to reach third place being held by Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Jason Anderson. Two and a half minutes into the race, Webb sat 5.7 seconds and seven championship points back from Roczen when Tomac had a tip over and dropped back more spots, remounting nearly outside of the top ten.

At the race's midpoint Musquin began to chip away at Roczen's lead as Webb contended with the constant pressure from Stewart and inched closer to Anderson. With less than ten minutes left on the clock in the 20-minute plus one lap race Webb got around Anderson and into a podium spot. Then Roczen made a mistake exiting the corner before the whoops and went down, dropping him to fifth and handing the lead over to Musquin. Webb broke clear of other riders as he slowly reeled in KTM teammate, Musquin, who was navigating through the lappers. Musquin held his pace and his position and brought home the win, his first since 2019, with Webb following in second and Stewart completing the podium in third. The finish marks Stewart's first career 450SX Class podium finish.
The Eastern Regional 250SX Class delivered a history-making nail-biter. Jo Shimoda, a late add to the Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki team this year, grabbed the holeshot and held the top spot despite repeated attacks by two separate riders throughout the 15-minute plus one lap race. First it was Troy Lee Designs / Red Bull / GASGAS Factory Racing's Michael Mosiman who tucked a wheel under Shimoda several times, and in fact pulled alongside through one rhythm section, but Shimoda would not be denied the front spot and bumped his way right back into the lead in the next bowl turn.
With under four minutes on the race clock Team Honda HRC's Jett Lawrence caught and passed Mosiman and set his sights on Shimoda. The Honda rider pressured the Kawasaki rider right down to the checkered flag, but Shimoda had ice water in his veins and never made more than the smallest mistakes as he weaved through lapped riders on the tight Utah track. Shimoda earned his first Monster Energy Supercross win, making him the fourth winner in the division this year and also making history as the first Japanese racer to step atop the podium. Sweeter still, his family was in Utah, visiting from Japan, and able to witness the race thanks to the efforts made to allow fans in the seats in 2021. The win adds Japan to the list now of nine countries to have won a Monster Energy Supercross race.
Jo Shimoda (#30) took his career-first win after meeting the challenge of heavy pressure from two riders, including Michael Mosiman (#42). The dramatic victory marked the first for a Japanese rider. Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment, Inc.
Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha's Colt Nichols, the red plate holder, needed to only gain two points on Shimoda going into the Main Event to wrap up the title one round early. Nichols crossed the holeshot stripe outside the top five and although the fastest rider on the track at several points, was slow to climb through the pack. Nichols managed a third-place finish, taking the title to the final race, the always unpredictable Dave Combs Sr. 250SX East/West Showdown.
Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha's Christian Craig, who sat eight points out of first at the start of the day, injured his left ankle in qualifying. He lined up for Heat Race two but after one rhythm section it was evident he would not be able to compete and rode off the track and back to the pits. Craig's departure meant his teammate Colt Nichols would start the Main Event with a 28-point lead over Shimoda and the realistic chance to claim the title at the race.
A surprise announcement just prior to the event was Martin Davalos' retirement. A crash on Friday during press day hastened the announcement after Davalos incurred a broken collarbone and concussion. The amiable racer moved to the United States at the age of 15 and competed at the highest level of the sport, professional Supercross, for 16-seasons and racked up five 250SX Class Main Event wins.

Dean Guitars, based in Tampa has donated a bass guitar that has easily become one of the most unique items in the auction – autographed by the 450SX Class top 4 in points – Cooper Webb, Ken Roczen, Eli Tomac and Justin Barcia. StaCyc has also donated a custom 12eDRIVE bike in metallic Cyan, sporting patient-inspired artwork graphics. The auction includes over 60 unique items for Supercross fans and St. Jude supporters to choose from and runs until Monday, May 3 at 6 p.m. ET – www.stjude.org/supercrossauction.

Do You Have Stubborn Stains?
Many tooth stains can be bleached with dentist-supervised treatments, but some cases require a different solution. Dr. Michelle Mottinger, a Greensboro, NC dentist, can give you back your smile, even if you've discovered that tooth whitening doesn't work. Find out what can be done if you're insecure about your smile due to stubborn stains and discoloration on your teeth.
What Causes Stubborn Stains on Teeth?
In some cases, a stain is more than just stubborn—it's impossible to remove because it has set in at an inner layer of the tooth (intrinsic). Most intrinsic stains are caused by certain medications (like antibiotics), trauma to the tooth (common in athletes) or the general aging process. The tar from cigarette smoke and other tobacco products can also produce stubborn stains.
- A crown to cover the entire tooth, giving it a whiter appearance on all sides.
- Composite bonding when there's a small stain on the tooth.
Most of these solutions will give you a brighter smile without stains for 10-15 years or longer if you take good care of your teeth and gums.
- Avoid biting into blueberries, blackberries and other colorful fruits or foods—juice them instead for nutrition and rinse your mouth after drinking.
- Brush your teeth often (first thing in the morning, after meals, and at night before bed).
If you want to rejuvenate your smile and get rid of stubborn stains, make time to discuss solutions with Dr. Michelle Mottinger at her Greensboro, NC office. Call 336-375-1825 today to schedule a consultation.

Blackburn Rovers 'fortunate to have supportive owners' amid coronavirus outbreak
CEO Steve Waggott insists the club have prioritised the welfare of all Blackburn Rovers staff
Jaquob CrookeBlackburn Rovers Writer
A general view of Ewood Park, home of Blackburn Rovers (Image: Photographer Richard Martin-Roberts/CameraSport)
Blackburn Rovers owners Venky's have preparations in place to stabilise the club's financial uncertainty amid the coronavirus oubtreak.
The suspension of fixtures has had economic consequences for clubs across the country, prompting concerns about their future financial security.
Rovers have adjusted accordingly to the situation, with CEO Steve Waggott insisting that he and other board members are assessing all potential measures to protect the welfare of the football club.
Any decisions made will not come at the expense of staff, with Waggott confirming the club are determined to ensure that everyone is to be paid on time and in full during these unprecedented times.
Waggott acknowledges the EFL's grant is there for support but added that Rovers are in a fortunate position in comparison to others, with the Venky's prepared to inject additional investment to protect the club and its staff.
Has Bradley Dack found an alternative career to football?
How the coronavirus outbreak has affected Blackburn Rovers' transfer and recruitment strategy
"You need immediate cash flow in this situation," Waggott told Lancs Live.
"They've accelerated the TV money, we had four months - March, April, May June - so they've accelerated that, which is helpful.
"They also have a loan fund that we can tap into. It's an interest free loan, that will help but at this stage, if this goes on and on and on then the pressure will mount and therefore clubs that are even worse off than us will start to come under major economic pressure.
"Fortunately we have owners that are supportive. Owners of football clubs are coming under economic pressure with their various businesses.
"I'm constantly keeping an eye on and updating the situation that we find ourselves in on a daily basis and how we need there support going forward."
Future planning during these unprecedented circumstances has proved to be near impossible, with there no guarantee as to when the league will resume and what knock-on effects that will have for the transfer window or the following campaign.
For the time being, the Venky's sole focus is to ensure the club safely navigate the immediate future.
"At the moment we're trying to devour all the guidelines on protecting our employees and protecting the business and the club," said Waggott.
"Other discussions will come as other things happen and things begin to settle down and we get back to some sort of normality. We will follow that.
"It's a very, very fluid situation that we find ourselves in and what we're dealing with."
National League vote to void 2019/20 season and how it affects AFC Fylde and Chorley
Blackburn Rovers' Premier League title win and why it was the most awful experience for Graeme Le Saux
Birmingham City became the first Championship club to ask their players to take a wage deferral, with Leeds United and several others rumoured to follow suit.
While Rovers are open to any ideas of cost-cutting measures, the club have only entered preliminary discussions about potentially reducing wages.
Waggott added that the club will be taking everything into account before they proceed with any significant measure.
"The discussion is how do we conserve the cash and how do we spread it across payments for as long as possible. Everyone is involved in that; that's players, football management, executives and the administration staff to look at how we can adjust things accordingly.

Khashoggi and the war between Trump and the media
By Mamdouh AlMuhaini Monday, 26 November 2018
The CIA's report on Khashoggi which the Washington Post leaked was employed in such a clear and obvious way in the context of the internal American war between the famous daily and President Trump. The daily wanted to embarrass the president and provide live ammunition to his rivals to shoot him in the foot. It also, via its fierce attack on his strong administration's alliance with Riyadh, wanted to damage his foreign policy.
However, it wasn't long until we realized that the newspaper made grave mistakes and used twisted ways to push the report towards one inevitable result. The daily said there is a strong reason that supports the CIA conclusion, which is a call by the Saudi Ambassador to Washington Khalid bin Salman to journalist Khashoggi before his murder, proposing to Khashoggi that he travels to Istanbul. We now know that this is an entirely different story, but it's also much more. The CIA's anonymous source leaked this information to the daily's editor considering it as conclusive evidence that the crime was planned by the highest ranks. It's clear that the editor is hungry for any piece of information that convicts the Saudi leadership, and the anonymous source who does not know anything put it in his mouth. Despite this grave mistake, which greatly harms the credibility of the report, the daily continued to affirm that this is the final conclusion but in the end it was a mere analysis by anonymous sources based on false information.
The premises of this war between the media and Trump are purely and rooted ideological ones and any case can be employed to weaken the other party's stance ideologically. This is why the Khashoggi case was invested in and taken out of its context to shake the relation between Trump's Washington and Riyadh
Mamdouh AlMuhaini
No backing down
However, will the newspaper back down and reevaluate its vision after the American president himself, the first insider to actually know the real content of the report, said that what media outlets reported is inaccurate and after he confirmed the Saudi global role in fighting Iran and terrorism? US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also made similar statements. The president and his senior administration officials cannot just appear and deliver false statements to the American public opinion. Despite that, it's unlikely that the Washington Post will take a reformative stance because it has positioned itself as a party in the case, hence it's difficult for it to convey other perspectives, and it's difficult for it to swallow the other facts which undermine its original story.
There have been clear mistakes, twisted ways and anonymous sources and they've ignored other facts and held on to their preferred story although stories which oppose it emerged. These are frequent characteristics of ideological organizations and not media outlets, which pride themselves in the values of neutrality and professional justice. Above all that, we've seen some scenes that are bitterly ironic.
OPINION: Trump vs American media: The scene from another angle
Due to the surge in the attack on Saudi Arabia and the American administration, Turkey, the country that imprisons and oppresses journalists the most in the world, turned into a country that defends freedoms and Turkish anonymous sources became the sources of the angry media outlets. The other strange scene was the article by Mohammed al-Houthi who lectured about the freedom of the press when he has caused the murder and disappearance of dozens of journalists. We cannot recall a phase when the standards of the American press fell as low as today.
The term "intelligence reports" must be cautiously dealt with for several reasons such as that the conveyed data may be entirely wrong, or the source is deceitful and he does not have any credible information, or he's talkative with lots of suspicions and perhaps wishes. Another reason is related to complete bias when this anonymous source speaks to support his point of view and not to confirm the truth like what happened with the Khashoggi case. There are more suspicions when we know the stance of former intelligence senior officials towards Trump, such as the stance of former CIA Director John Brennan who never calls Trump "President" but "Mr.", i.e. he does not acknowledge him as president.
Targeting Trump and his allies
It cannot be denied that in certain institutions, there is an atmosphere that is hostile to the American administration and everything it represents and everyone it's allied with, hence they issue fabricated news that aim to harm Trump and his allies. A while back, I watched an interview with Michael Morell, the former CIA deputy director, who hates everything President Trump does. Morell attacked the president because he withdrew from the Paris climate agreement, and one of his justifications for this anger is that climate change will in the future lead to wars between countries. It's an exaggeration that cannot be digested; to make the future of the humans' climate and the eruption of a barbaric war in search of water and pastures the responsibility of only one man. I mention this example by a senior at the CIA to confirm that big and important names can say the silliest things that are quickly turned into media reports that are put out as beyond doubt.
Another reason is the major dispute between Trump and media outlets regarding foreign policy. He is against the Iranian nuclear deal while they are with it, and he is with supporting the strategic alliance with Saudi Arabia, which maintained regional stability for more than 70 years despite all the storms, and they are against it. They agree with the opinion of the former American administration in undermining this alliance or weakening it or replacing it with a new regional system where Tehran has a big role. The Trump administration is against political Islam and sees it as the source of extremist ideology (National Security Advisor John Bolton says the Brotherhood is terrorism's smiling face) and these media figures believe that political Islam is the alternative to extremist Islam.
ALSO READ: Exploiting the Khashoggi card
There is a radical change on the level of ideas and policies and on almost all fronts. Hence, the premises of this war between the media and Trump are purely and rooted ideological ones and any case can be employed to weaken the other party's stance ideologically. This is why the Khashoggi case was invested in and taken out of its context to shake the relation between Trump's Washington and Riyadh. In his last address, Trump directed his speech to his supporters and not to the press as he's aware of its stance that will not change, and he clearly emphasized that a single incident will not harm this relationship that is important for the world.
Those surprised by the stance of media outlets that oppose Trump and that convict based on analyses and articles have not been following up on this battle that's been ongoing between the two parties for more than two years, particularly since Trump became the Republican presidential candidate who would compete with the Democrats' presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Most media outlets announced that they strongly oppose that a figure like Trump becomes a president and said they will do anything to defeat him.
Trump won and became president but the battle became fiercer, and ever since, we've seen hundreds of reports that accuse him of treason, collusion with the Russians, personal enrichment and others. All these were presented in the form of facts and based on well-informed intelligence sources, just like the Khashoggi case was handled, but none of them led to real convictions that led to toppling him. In many cases, we've seen breaking news and main headlines that rely on anonymous sources and that confirm beyond any doubt that Trump's days are numbered, but they are mere wishes and dreams that evaporated into thin air.
Just like the Khashoggi case was handled, facts do not matter in this context as what is important is creating a story, complementing it and feeding it with unreliable information and rumors and ignoring what the other party is saying in order to tarnish the image of the rival. Therefore, we might see Saudi Arabia as convicted in Khashoggi's murder and Trump as complicit with the Russians, regardless of the truth.

Q: resize iScroll 4 to fit 100% on any device I'm trying to resize my wrapper, so when viewed on iPhone, iPad or computer 100% of my site is in view. I have placed pictures in my scroller using the <ul> and <il> methods.
At the moment everything is in view on my computer, but on iPhone the pictures are getting cut off. It's letting me scroll horizontally and vertically my pictures, but need to resize the wrapper so my pictures are smaller.
Any help would be amazing. Cheers in advance

A: You didn't provide any codes, so these maybe help you:

*

*Set proper width/height to your wrapper when browser resizes and window.onload. Because we don't know device is in landscape or portrait mode until window.onload. Here better explained how to get resized browser width/height.

*Check your images width/height. Maybe images' dimensions wider than wrapper. You can set width/height to image in percent.

*And don't forget refresh iScroll when browser resizes. You can do it like that:
setTimeout(function(){myScroller.refresh()}, 400); // browser need time to rotate

When you rent a roll-off dumpster, you will be enticed to throw anything and everything inside. Common items which individuals generally dispose of in a dumpster comprise solid waste material and most routine household and building waste, along with tree limbs and landscaping debris. They can also be used for business and commercial cleanouts, house renovations, getting rid of junk when you're moving to a new house, larger landscaping jobs and more.
A record of stuff you CAn't place in a roll-off dumpster includes paints and solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides, chemicals, electronic equipment and batteries. If you make an effort to contain these things, you'll probably get an extra fee. Other items which will undoubtedly incur an additional fee include tires, mattresses and appliances. Extra heavy stuff are also not permitted; things which are too hefty may surpass government transfer regulations and be unsafe to haul.
Building Dumpster Rental in Piru - Do You Want One?
The most typical exception to this rule is when you've got a truck that's large enough to transport all building debris to a landfill or landfill drop off point. In the event you're working on a little bathroom remodeling job, for instance, you might find that you can fit all the debris in a truck bed.
Other than very little projects, it's recommended that you rent a dumpster in Piru for building projects.
If you're not sure whether your municipality accepts building debris, contact the city for more information. You'll likely discover that you will have to rent a dumpster in Piru. Setting debris outside for garbage removal could potentially result in fines.
Dumpster rentals are one of the most affordable ways to remove waste and debris from a home or commercial property. Still, it's important that you contemplate your options to ensure you get the very best price possible on your dumpster rental in Piru.
Requesting businesses for price quotes is among the simplest methods to ensure you get a good deal. After speaking to several companies, you can compare the estimates to decide which one matches your needs at the lowest cost. When getting estimates, make sure that the businesses contain all of the services which you will want. More than a few companies charge extra for services like drop off and pick up. They might additionally charge higher rates for removing particular kinds of materials. By having them contain all of the fees in your estimate, you can compare the prices accurately instead of becoming mislead by a rental business that conceals additional costs.
Choosing the top dumpster for your project is an important aspect of dumpster rental in Piru. Should you decide on a dumpster that's too small, you will not have enough room for your debris and waste, which means you will have to schedule additional trips. In the event that you choose one that's too large, you will save time, but you will waste cash.
Should you call a dumpster rental company in Piru and describe the job for which you want a dumpster, they can advocate the finest size. Their years of experience mean that they usually get it just about right. A 10-yard dumpster generally functions well for moderate-sized cleanup projects and modest remodeling jobs. A 20-yard dumpster is the best option for big home cleanup projects and moderate-sized renovation projects, while a 30-yard dumpster has higher walls that are perfect for a home cleanout or remodeling jobs on a large house. 40-yard dumpsters are massively big and are used just on the biggest projects such as new construction.
Most folks do not need to rent dumpsters unless they absolutely have to. Sometimes, though, it becomes obvious that you just have to rent a dumpster in Piru for commercial and residential jobs.
Most cities will not haul away construction debris for you. It is your duty to ensure you have an appropriate container to collect lost stuff from remodeling endeavors. Even if you just have a little project, municipal waste management is not likely to haul the debris away.
A major clean out can accumulate more rubbish when compared to a normal receptacle can carry. Renting a tiny dumpster is a more suitable alternative that may prevent making multiple trips to the neighborhood dump.
When you have one of these endeavors in mind, then you understand it is time to look for a reliable dumpster rental service in Piru.
The amount of money that you spend renting a dumpster in Piru will depend on several factors.
The amount of time that you might want to keep the dumpster rental in Piru will also change the cost. The the more time you keep the dumpster, the further you can expect to pay.
Services are another concern that could influence your overall cost. Many companies include services like dumpster drop off and pick up in their costs. Some companies, however, cost for all these services. That makes it important that you ask about any hidden fees.
Most residential areas allow roll off dumpsters. For those who have a driveway, then you can generally park the dumpster there so you really do not annoy your neighbors or cause traffic issues by putting it upon the street.
Some projects, however, will require putting the dumpster on the road. If it applies to you, then you should talk to your city to learn whether you must get any permits before renting the dumpster. Usually, cities will allow you to keep a dumpster on a residential street for a short quantity of time. If you believe you'll need to keep it to the street for several weeks or months, however, you might need to get a license.
Whether or not you desire a permanent or roll off dumpster depends on the type of job and service you need. Long-Lasting dumpster service is for enduring demands that continue more than just a day or two. This includes things like day to day waste and recycling needs. Temporary service is exactly what the name suggests; a one time demand for project-specific waste removal.
Temporary roll-off dumpsters are delivered on a truck and are rolled off where they will be used. All these are typically bigger containers that could handle all the waste which is included with that particular job. Long-Lasting dumpsters are generally smaller containers because they're emptied on a regular basis and so do not need to hold as much at one time.
If you request a long-term dumpster, some businesses require at least a one-year service agreement for that dumpster. Roll off dumpsters just need a rental fee for the time that you keep the dumpster on the job.
5. Learn what services you get with your dumpster rental in Piru.
Do I require a permit to rent a dumpster in Piru?
If that is your first time renting a dumpster in Piru, you may not know what is legally permissible in regards to the placement of the dumpster. If your plan is to put the dumpster entirely on your own property, you're not typically required to get a permit.
If, however, your project requires you to set the dumpster on a public street or roadway, this will normally mean that you need to apply for a permit. It is almost always a good idea to check with your local city or county offices (possibly the parking enforcement division) if you own a question regarding the need for a permit on a street.
Should you fail to obtain a permit and find out later that you were required to have one, you will likely face a fine from your local authorities. In most dumpster rental in Piru cases, though, you should be just fine without a permit as long as you keep the dumpster on your property.

I Must Get Something Similar
Posted by Hotae, ? Views, Released on December 15, 2022
It was only a spar and they didn't fully use all of their strength, at most they used 80 percent of it. Otherwise, Ji Yuan would definitely hear a stronger blow.
It's like this, the sound when those fists strike were muffled and the surrounding air shook, proving that this was absolutely not some fancy trick.
The guests and the servants happily watched on but if one of them went up and got hit, if it was a light blow, they could get out of bed in half a month and if it was a heavy blow, he feared they would be seriously bedridden.
This also gave Ji Yuan some thoughts. After all, he's now a weak chicken and the appearance of him doing martial arts looked very powerful.
Everyone was now in a high spirits, and with the rowdy cheers of others, another two were ready to spar while Lu Chengfeng and Wang Ke adjusting their breath.
Of course, it's not good for the few wounded to participate, but by watching from the side, it could be regarded as relieving their minds. Among the nine, only Du Heng, whose right hand was crippled, seemed to be a little depressed. He was just sitting there silently watching his companions fight.
Not only did Ji Yuan have exceptional hearing, he is also very good at recognizing voices. He already heard the voices of the other eight, only Du Heng did not said anything. Seemed like the blow was really too much.
'You're a nice guy, but it's a pity that I can't help you.'
At this time, some guests and servants were cheering and yelling, and most of the people outside were also in high spirits. Ji Yuan didn't want to be too conspicuous so he blended in with the crowd and acted as a spectator, anyway, they couldn't keep fighting all the time.
It was mainly the five who were not injured spar and the injured at most were on the side giving orders. After a few rounds of sparring, the few sat under the willow tree exchanging pointers about how to change the moves to be more fitting and where they were slow to react.
Ji Yuan stayed in the rear courtyard for a while, but he didn't hear anything interesting. He's also a little impatient, but when it's all said and done, he didn't have the nerve to force them to eat, he still needed to maintain the little air of an expert.
'Forget it, they're the one who invited me to eat in these past few days, let's go back and wait.'
Thinking of this, Ji Yuan didn't stay any longer, and prepared to go back to continue studying the unknown effect of the chess piece.
Sure, although he doesn't understand the reason why it's there and didn't know what's the use for the time being. He attempted to console himself that the previous state was some sort of cultivation.
Returning to the room, Ji Yuan tried to remember that feeling again and attempted to summon the chess piece. But he was not sure if he was either too conscious or missing a key step, even if he managed to gather faint wisp of blue qi, he could no longer enter the state of visualization.
The cool breeze inside gradually subsided and the hair on Ji Yuan's temple no longer fluttered.
When the chess piece disappeared from the fingertips, and a wave of blue qi turned to a burst of chill, flowing into the body along the fingertips, disappearing without a trace.
Ji Yuan rested his chin on his hand and furrowed his brows.
'It shouldn't be. Is there a time requirement? Then when did it happen? It's really a pain to not have a watch or a phone!'
'Or should I ask when I meet a cultivator in the future? If I can enter an immortal sect and have a powerful master backing like in those novels, that's fine too! '
Ji Yuan was thinking when suddenly his thought moved, the sound of nine footsteps approaching and followed by the broken whispers.
"Chengfeng, do you think sir has finished his cultivation?"
"It's been so long, it should be."
"No matter what, we can't just not say anything!"
The fragmented voices made Ji Yuan slightly puzzled, he didn't know what they wanted to say.
Soon there was a knock on the door.
"Sir, is this a good time?"
Ji Yuan dryly rubbed his face with both hands to let himself be a bit clear-headed before answering.
The wooden hinge of the wooden door brought a unique "creak~", Lu Chengfeng, Yan Fei, and others entered orderly.
"Sir, we're here to say goodbye to you."
As soon as Yan Fei opened his mouth, it was farewell.
"What? You're all leaving?"
Even though he had already vaguely guessed it, Ji Yuan still didn't know how to feel. These people could considered his acquaintances here, and they all left at once, he felt a little lonely.
"Well, Ning'an County, after all, is a small place. It would be better for us to go back to our respective sects to treat our injuries. We wanted to stay a little longer, but the third villa master of the Luoxia Villa in Zesheng prefecture came to look for Junior sister Luo. We, we have to go together… .. ."
Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Lu Chengfeng really wanted to stay, he especially wanted to see how sir Ji handled the evil thing. However, he could only bite the bullet and answer the question. The third villa master was still waiting on the first floor of the inn.
Luo Ningshuang fiercely glared at Lu Chengfeng, in a rare familial gesture, she faced Ji Yuan with an apology.
"Sir Ji, it was nothing at first, but third uncle found out that several of us were seriously injured, so he ordered us to go back…"
Suddenly Luo Ningshuang seemed to have thought of something.
"Or maybe sir can come back with us!"
The others' eyes were lit up. The nine of them more or less tried to see if Ji Yuan had the idea of teaching them profound techniques. Even now, they did not give up, especially after hearing Lu Chengfeng talk about it in the rear courtyard about the mystical method of sir Ji of drawing the cool breeze within the wind.
But going back with these people was something that Ji Yuan had never considered, otherwise his tricks would be exposed sooner or later. It's not that Ji Yuan can't afford to lose face, but sometimes, things were not just as simple as losing face.
Although Ji Yuan has at least some confidence because of the chess pieces, but this confidence belonged to the future, not the present.
"No, I preferred the quietness. If we're destined, we will meet again."
Hearing this, several people were somewhat disappointed, but an extraordinary person like sir surely always did whatever he pleased, it's not something they could guess.
But Ji Yuan's brain circuit turned to other places at this moment.
'Hey, it's a pity, it seems that there is no chance to learn their martial arts for the time being!'
After bidding farewell to Ji Yuan, the nine went to the inn's lobby together, where a middle-aged man with a slightly long beard was drinking tea. He wore a wide-sleeved chang pao, his long hair did not have a crown nor tied in a bun. He was more like a refined scholar than a martial artist.
When he saw several people coming down, the man put down his tea.
"Are you done?"
"Well, Third Uncle, we…"
"Let's go, then. There are three carriages waiting outside."
After finishing speaking, the man stood up, shook his sleeve and took out the five copper coins for tea and walked out first. Luo Ningshuan bit her lips and helplessly caught up, the other eight also followed suit. Seemed like they were all afraid of this third villa master.
But when he stepped out of the inn, he seemed to feel something. He turned and looked at the third floor, there, a scrawny young man with slightly open ash-gray eyes was smiling and nodding at him.
The third villa master also nodded, and then stepped out of the inn. The nine who followed him subconsciously looked towards the third floor, saw Ji Yuan nodded to them.
They abided by the agreement with Ji Yuan, and did not mention anything that should not be mentioned to outsiders, so the third villa master only thought that Ji Yuan was a down-and-out mountain traveler that the nine met on the mountain, and had provided them with some help these days.
Outside the inn, three carriages were lined up, the third villa master boarded the one up front, and let the nine sit in the back two.
As the coachman swung his whip and drove his horse, the carriages gradually drove towards the outside of Ning'an County.
'Youngsters, the water of Jianghu is deep. It's merely a trip to eliminate a tiger and they had to pay such a heavy price. Hah, it's a pity for the kid from the Du family…'
The third villa master, Luo Feng, leaned in the slightly shaking carriage, shaking his head and thought.
At the moment, Ji Yuan was still lost in thought and looked at the direction of the inn entrance. Although his vision was blurry, he seemed to be able to see some kind of "temperament" inexplicably, which made Luo Feng's figure much clearer in Ji Yuan's eyes.
Often when something was special, Ji Yuan's poor eyesights would play a surprising role, but he inexplicably understood that the third villa master was a highly skilled expert and definitely not a monster.
Thinking back to the situation when he saw the ghost puppet, Wang Dong, Ji Yuan couldn't help but wonder whether his eyes were yin-yang eyes or something more special?
Of course, these thoughts were quickly replaced by another.
Damn, the appearance of the third villa master in that outfit was so elegant and so flashy, he must f*cking get something similar.

Audi RS Q e-tron Makes First Dakar Rally
04/01/2022 966 Saudi Arabia, ASIA, WORLD, GENERAL, Sports, Life
The Dakar Rally, which will be held between 1-14 January, is the scene of the beginning of a new era. Bringing quattro, TFSI, ultra, e-tron and many more new technologies to the world of motorsports. kazanAudi is participating in Dakar, one of the most challenging rally organizations in the world, with its RS Q e-tron model.
The Dakar Rally, which is considered one of the most challenging motor sports organizations in the world, starts on 1 January. The fight, which will be held for the 44th time this year and will take place in Saudi Arabia for the third time, will last for two weeks. In the rally, which will start with a 19 km entrance stage between Jeddah and Hail, the competitors will pass 4 stages on a route of more than 8 thousand km, approximately 12 thousand km of which will be special stages, as in the previous two races.
The Dakar Rally will take place in five different categories: motorcycle, ATV, light vehicle, automobile and truck. Audi Sport, which will compete with three RS Q e-tron vehicles against 91 competitors in the automobile category, is starting a new era for both this organization and motor sports.
Stating that the Dakar Rally is a truly challenging test ground for the high-voltage battery, high-efficiency energy converter and innovative electric driving, Audi Sport GmbH Director Julius Seebach said: "Never before have we launched such a complex vehicle in such a short time. Our first endurance test under competitive conditions is currently the longest and toughest rally in the world.

In the T1 Ultimate category, he wants to prove how efficient and competitive an electric powertrain is, with his three teams to feature in three Audi RS Q e-trons.
The battle in the desert is also impressive with the careers of the pilots and co-pilots who will take the seats of the RS Q e-trons:
Mattias Ekström, who has won two DTM and one World Rallycross titles in his nearly 30-year motorsport career, and Swedish Emil Bergkvist, a young world rally champion before taking the co-driver seat…
Stéphane Peterhansel, the legendary name of the Dakar Rally and the leader of this race 14 times, and Edouard Boulanger, who was co-driver in the championship in 2021…
Dakar Rally three times kazanCarlos Sainz, a two-time champion in the WRC, where he fought for the first time and for more than 20 years, and Lucas Cruz, who was his co-pilot in all three victories.
All three Audi RS Q e-trons, which will compete under the name Team Audi Sport, were developed in collaboration with Audi and Q Motorsport. Sven Quandt's team has more than a quarter of a century of experience in rallycross, including six Dakar victories. A total of 80 people from Audi and Q Motorsport, from rally drivers to technology and logistics officer, from team doctor to physiotherapists, will be with the team for two weeks in Saudi Arabia.

Reputation is key to business success. If you don't manage things properly, you can damage a reputation. That can mean your business slows down. Keep reading for some solid reputation management tips.
To improve your reputation, always make sure customers are satisfied with follow up communication. If your business is a large one, this rings more true. Your customers want to feel they are important to you. Try using automated systems that can follow up with them. Also, get their feedback on purchases.
TIP! Pay attention to social media forums. It has been shown that fifty percent of those who post comments and concerns online expect to receive replies.
In order to build your company's reputation, you should optimize your website with a good search phrase. In general, this would be the business's name. Authority sites are heavily favored by search engines, especially Google. If you can build up your authority, it can really increase your rankings.
Watch social networks all the time. As per Arnold Worldwide, more than half of all consumers expect brands to answer their queries and comments posted on social media. Reply quickly. The more responsive you are, the better you'll appear in comparison to the competition.
Stay current on what is going on in your industry. Keeping yourself current gives you the ability to offer the best possible information to those around you. It only takes a few minutes searching the web everyday to get the latest news in your industry.
TIP! When searching online for information about your business, and you come across something that is not accurate, ask the site owner to take the information down. If you have proof that the information is false, it is likely that the other site will happily take it down.
Be certain that your firm's social medial presence is carefully managed. It's a big part of your business, so it must be watched over carefully. Of course, you want to show some personality, but keep the overall tone professional and businesslike.
TIP! There are reputable companies that provide reputation management. Each day, you will have to handle your reputation.
When you own a business, it's a good idea to pay special attention to your company's reputation. If you're getting publicity that's negative, ignoring it is not a good idea. Being successful as a business depends upon your reputation. Use these ideas to help keep your reputation good.


"YOU TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT" in regard to any weight loss surgery. The fact is, bariatric surgery is a tool, not a magic bullet for weight loss, that when combined with rigorous lifestyle changes that span mind, body, and spirit, yield permanent weight loss that then ends one's personal battle with comorbid diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
Thank you very much. You love me. You really love me.
There isn't one damn thing that's easy about this. The people who say otherwise obviously do not have first hand experience. I struggle every single day -- no, it is NOT easy, yet I don't want to go back to the way it used to be.
"How much did you lose?" I'd never ask anyone without weightloss surgery what they weighed, got paid or anything so personal.
I think when I admit what I lost in weight, I admit how much I gained. Hard for me personally.
My personal favorite clueless statement: "Why didn't you just eat less and lose the weight that way?"
What a stupid and clueless question. Of course if it was that simple I would have lost the weight by eating less. Do I look stupid? But for me, simply eating less resulted in losing some weight and then gaining it (and often more) back. Only through weight loss surgery was significant long term weight loss possible for me.
"You'll look so pretty when you lose more weight" Implies that I am ugly.
"how much weight have you lost now" I don't always like saying how much I've lost, and then if you haven't lost what they think is enough you get "looks"
Personally, I've never cared what anyone else thinks, except for my family. We're all different when it comes to this, some folks are very sensitive and some (like me) don't give a hoot!
I have a friend who tells me I took the easy way out. That she is losing weight the hard way. I've distanced myself from her. I have been on every diet known to man and failed them all. I was taking 18 pills a day for medical reasons, many of those made losing weight impossible. I had to do something different or I wasn't going to live to see my grandchildren grow up.
I don't share my WLS with people I'm not close too as I don't want to be judged. I have been judged my entire life for being overweight, I wasn't going to be judged for this as well.
I also don't like hearing how someone knows someone who had surgery and gained it all back. If you can't say something positive, don't say anything at all!
My wife gained almost all of it back, I try to encourage her without being a jerk about it, but it isn't working. She has many other health problems and I try to be supportive. It is NOT easy.
1. Have you tried diet and exercise? With those two things you CAN overcome your weight problem.
2. I know someone (who knows someone, who knows someone's mom...) who gained it ALL back and then some. Have you tried diet and exercise?
3. I know people who had it and had serious health issues after (forget whether they are WLS related problems). Have you tried diet and exercise?
Seriously, they ALL acted like my friend had never thought of eating healthy and exercising! It was insulting just reading their replies and they weren't even aimed at me! I probably won't tell anyone outside of my close circle just for that reason... I really don't want all eyes on me, hedging their bets on how big I will fail. Also, I know a LOT of people who have tried "traditional diet and exercise" and gained it all back and then some. No one seems to discount it out because they see others fail at it.
if you do not want to be the subject of gossip, keep your surgery to yourself. Once you ring a bell, you cannot unring it.
Very true! That's why I do not share at this time. Maybe some day but not now.
I was judged in the past because I was obese... not by anyone who truly mattered to me, of course. My family always loved me no matter what. And for that I am truly blessed. Here is the kicker, though. When I had the plastic surgery, I was judged by WLS patients... "not everyone has the money to have all that surgery" is akin to being told that I took the easy way out.
Coming through this makes one a whole lot stronger, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. And for that I am very grateful! Love comes from the divinity with ourselves, and we each have to find that. For me, it took having the plastic surgery a decade after my gastric bypass, to realize that I hadn't loved myself, that I had been ashamed of my obesity and my surgery. I am not ashamed of it anymore and I share my story and my very revealing photos freely online for all to see. That's because I grew to love myself, grew secure in who I am, and simply wanted to share and help others.
Usually when we are out of love -- say for example, and this is just one example of many so apply this to yourself as appropriate, if we see an obese person and feel a moment of disgust, it's really not about that person, rather it is about how we feel about ourselves -- that person is just a mirror for what we dislike about ourselves, a self-recrimination of our former obesity. I would hazard a guess that people who are telling us that we took the easy way out with bariatric surgery are afraid to get the surgery themselves (for any number of reasons) or may not be able to afford it or have insurance coverage for it. If we look at it another way, it is an opportunity for us to educate them about the surgery and perhaps meet their needs rather than take offense at what they're saying. It truly is not about us.
I don't understand why people get bent out of shape by anyone taking the "easy way out". Even if it WERE the easy way, why do others find it more virtuous to do things the hard way? If it were more virtuous to do things the hard way, why aren't these judgemental people walking to work, cooking on a campfire, hunting their food and clothing, making their tools from stones, bones and sticks? Apparently easy is ok for anyone but those who need to lose weight. I haven't had my surgery yet (June 7) but I am already aware that this is going to take just as much work as those who do it without surgery....in otherwords, NOT easy, but IF it were why would anyone say no "No, I must do it the hard way"? It boggles the mind! This is my main reason for keeping this to a very tiny (3 people) group of people I trust. NO ONE else has any need to know!!
I have felt this way for a long time. Let's say for the sake of argument that WLS is the easy way out....so what?!?! The entire evolution of our species is the result of humans consistently finding an easier way to do things!
I LIKE YOUR THINKING! VERY WELL STATED!
Thank you so much for the feedback! Even without the royalties I'm happy to accept the standing ovation.
I re-read your post to keep your wisdom top of mind! Thank you for helping me to look at this another way!!!
OK so I had a clueless person say something to me recently and I totally thought of this thread! We were at a spiritual retreat and serving ourselves at the buffet -- me just taking the salad (BTW) and she asked, "You could not lose the weight on your own?" I yelled out, "HELL NO!" And that was the end of the conversation.
#%$? Do you think I permanently rerouted the anatomy of my body for any other reason???
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Why would anyone reroute their anatomy if they hadn't already tried EVERY. SINGLE. THING. under the sun to lose weight?!!! I'm sure there are a few people who get surgery without much thought to what is going to be done to their insides, but I'm also sure MOST of us past the age of 18 (way past for me) have thought and rethought and rethought again before making such a drastic change. If we could have lost weight on our own, we would have. If it were that simple there would be NO fat people in the world!!
Have you perhaps considered gastric band if this is the way that you feel?
Amen! Keep the circle small....tell the truth, hard work, food plan that is forever and as much exercise as I find beneficial. Really, it is about what you put in you mouth.
