<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>You can lose fat weight while maintaining muscle and tone. I&#8217;ve recently been researching various fat loss methods and stumbled across <a href="http://jongb.eatstopeat.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">Eat Stop Eat</a> which is a form of Intermittent Fasting (IF) from Brad Pilon. The basic premise is that fasting reduces calorie intake whilst increasing certain metabolic and hormonal activities all of which lead to a loss of fat and fat only.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been on this particular course for over a month now, since then i have lost over 14 pounds of fat and have more energy than i&#8217;ve ever had. It&#8217;s worth adding here that i have had my reservations about this particular type of diet as i feel it can promote in certain individuals eating disorders, however, it happens to work and work very well. <a href="http://jongb.eatstopeat.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">Eat Stop Eat</a> sets out up to two 24hr periods of fasting but you never go a day without eating; so for instance i tend to go from dinner to dinner (6pm to 6pm).</p>
<p>Brad is a qualified nutritionist and has a history in the health and fitness industry, his ebook contains sound research and over 45 references to research carried out in the field of fasting. I do not claim that <a href="http://jongb.eatstopeat.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">Eat Stop Eat</a> is the only method of fasting available as it may work for you and you should research other methods that may suit you, however, i have found this method to be highly effective and the most manageable due to it&#8217;s flexibility.</p>
<p>The key to maintaining muscle mass whilst following IF is to incorporate 3 fairly intense resistance based sessions a week lasting no longer than 1 hour. If you don&#8217;t follow this rule you risk losing muscle which will not give you a lean healthy look.</p>
<p>I should also mention this isn&#8217;t just a fringe idea, it has hit the mainstream at the <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1230347/Feast-famine-The-diet-wont-just-help-lose-weight-youll-live-longer-brainier.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a> which will give you some ideas as to the benefits of IF.</p>
<p>I highly reccomend you take a look at <a href="http://jongb.eatstopeat.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">Eat Stop Eat</a> and give some form of IF a try. As with any new diet you should clear it with your doctor so book an appointment before you try anything.</p>

<p>Les bibliothèques pratiquent normalement régulièrement une activité nommée : désherbage, qui consiste à mettre au pilon les livres trop vieux ou trop abîmés.</p>
<p>La mise au pilon est un acte souvent considéré comme sacrilège par les lecteurs, mais nécessaire. Cependant on découvre souvent que certains bibliothécaires ont également beaucoup de mal à jeter.</p>
<p><a href="http://awfullibrarybooks.wordpress.com">Awful Library Books</a> présente certaines des merveilles qu&#8217;ils nous arrivent donc parfois de retrouver encore dans nos rayons.</p>
<p>J&#8217;avoue que certains titres me font beaucoup rire !<br />
(mention spéciale à : <em>Anybody can be cool&#8230; but awesome takes practice</em>.)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Un jour, un lapin, emprunt de créativité et de partage des saveurs de son jardin, cultive une belle carotte. Après des mois voire des années de désherbage intensif, de chasse aux gastéropodes et d&#8217;arrosage minutieux, elle est fin prête pour le grand jour.</p>
<p>Au prix d&#8217;un parcours périlleux jalonné d&#8217;attentes interminables et de refus innombrables, Lédi Teur permet au lapin de faire connaître sa carotte au monde entier. Certains seront intéressés par la carotte et en redemanderont, d&#8217;autres ne sauront même pas qu&#8217;elle existe, pauvre carotte !</p>
<p>Le lapin, quant à lui, sera parfois réduit en terrine par les affres de Laconso Mation ou en civet par les terribles Cri Tiques. S&#8217;il échappe à la célébrité, peut-on dire que son sort est plus enviable ? Est-il préférable de finir pris au collet à peine sorti du terrier ? Et à ce moment, que devient la belle carotte ? Elle est cuite pardi !</p>
<p>Et s&#8217;en est fini pour elle.</p>
<p>Pour tout ceux que la pratique barbare du Pi Lon révulse, rejoignez la cause de Federico !</p>
<p>Notre lapin aimerait tant rejoindre ceux qui, en <a href="http://www.actualitte.com/actualite/13293-mort-pilon-commando-liberer-livres.htm" target="_blank">Belgique</a>, cassent enfin le tabou !</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Déjà un moment sans billet sur une des pièces d’Expotec 103… Remédions à cela avec la forge Mustad avec Marc Tiret à la démonstration !</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><a title="Site officiel de Marc Tiret, sculpteur sur fer forgé" href="http://www.marctiret.com/">Marc Tiret est sculpteur sur fer forgé</a> et il vient de temps en temps au Centre d’Histoire Sociale de Haute-Normandie pour utiliser la forge Mustad qui y est exposée.</p>
<p>Cette forge présente l’avantage d’être accompagnée d’un marteau pilon. Cela facilite grandement le travail.</p>
<p>Et comme il faut bien commencer quelque part, autant allumer la forge…</p>
<h2>Allumage de la forge</h2>
<p>La forge Mustad est une forge à double foyer. Deux personnes peuvent y travailler simultanément.</p>
<p>Marc Tiret n’utilise qu’un seul foyer, étant seul.</p>
<p>Le combustible de cette forge est de la <a title="Article Wikipedia sur la houille" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houille">houille</a>. Et la houille, quand ça démarre, ça fait beaucoup de fumée, comme en témoigne la photo suivante :</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a title="Allumage de la forge de zigazou76, sur Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/zigazou76/3844792059/"><img title="Marc Tiret allume la forge" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2497/3844792059_a3f794b79d.jpg" alt="Allumage de la forge" width="500" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Marc Tiret allume la forge</p></div>
<p>Le hangar s’est vite rempli de cette fumée, la hotte ne pouvant en aspirer la totalité.</p>
<h2>Fonctionnement de la forge</h2>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 190px"><a title="Barre de fer dans la forge de zigazou76, sur Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/zigazou76/3845587982/"><img title="Barre de fer dans la forge" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2644/3845587982_e2d053cd07_m.jpg" alt="Barre de fer dans la forge" width="180" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Barre de fer dans la forge</p></div>
<p>Les flammes jaunes/oranges indiquent une combustion incomplète tandis que les flammes bleues indiquent une combustion complète. Pour y arriver, il faut que l’oxygène arrive en quantité suffisante.</p>
<p>Autrefois on utilisait de grands soufflets qu’il fallait actionner manuellement.</p>
<p>Aujourd’hui, il suffit d’appuyer sur un bouton pour activer la soufflerie, c’est plus pratique.</p>
<p>La soufflerie ne souffle pas dessus ou sur le côté mais en dessous du foyer. L’arrivée d’air étant constante, une manette permet de régler la quantité injectée dans le foyer.</p>
<p>La pièce à travailler est placé au cœur du foyer, là où la température est la plus haute.</p>
<p>Toute la difficulté désormais consiste à déterminer la bonne température nécessaire au travail de la pièce : trop froide la pièce sera difficile à travailler, trop chaud, la pièce risque d’atteindre sa température de fusion et couler dans le foyer.</p>
<p>Le travail de forge génère des déchets qu’on appelle <a title="Article Wikipedia sur le mâchefer" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A2chefer">mâchefer</a>.</p>
<p>Une fois la pièce amenée à bonne température, il ne reste plus qu’à la travailler.</p>
<h2>Travail des pièces</h2>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><a title="Marteau-pilon en action de zigazou76, sur Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/zigazou76/3844796317/"><img title="Marteau-pilon en action" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3492/3844796317_3237840a5f_m.jpg" alt="Marteau-pilon en action" width="240" height="180" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Marteau-pilon en action</p></div>
<p>On a tous en tête le forgeron utilisant un marteau et une enclume. Si ces outils restent incontournables, on a quand même progressé !</p>
<p>Pour les forges bien équipées il y a le marteau pilon.</p>
<p>C’est un merveilleux outil qui tape plus fort et plus souvent qu’un marteau. Autant dire qu’il vaut mieux éviter de mettre son doigt dessous.</p>
<p>Le rapport de gain de temps est approximativement de 4.</p>
<p>Le marteau et l’enclume restent malgré tout nécessaires pour peaufiner le résultat.</p>
<h2>Photos et vidéo</h2>
<p>Pour les plus impatients, voici un slide des photos faites à l’occasion de ma visite :</p>

<description><![CDATA[Am zis că ma întorc la dragostea mea dintâi.  Şi încet-încet parcă revenisem. Nu chiar în fiecare zi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><!-- 		@page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --></p>
<p style="text-indent:.21in;margin-bottom:0;">Am zis că ma întorc la dragostea mea dintâi.  Şi încet-încet parcă revenisem. Nu chiar în fiecare zi, dar&#8230;oricum. Mi se făcuse şi dor. Un dor din ala care nu-ţi dă pace şi iti tot răscoleşte fiecare colţişor al minţii. Şi gândurile parcă îmi tot dădeau târcoale, parcă tot mai mulţi “de ce” apăreau&#8230; <!--more-->Şi parcă mă apucase regretul că am lăsat-o abandonată, uitată şi o tot dam cu conjugări de verbe la timpul trecut, cu cafele aburinde şi innecate dimineaţa de la etajul 7&#8230; şi parcă mă ucideam personal, în fiecare zi, şi căutam răspunsuri fără întrebări&#8230; dar nu le găseam&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-indent:.21in;margin-bottom:0;">Acum, zilelele sunt mai pline. Sunt mai multe surprize-surprize pe scena politică. Mă c-am omoară actorii că joacă roluri ieftine şi uneori chiar disperate. Disperate pentru că ba li se suflă un fotoliu moale şi cald de sub nas. Ba nu ştiu ce vor şi nu au obiective concrete. Atunci scena si actorii se transformă în piese de joc şi o tabla de şah. Mai grav e că survin nişte mutări, chiar penibile, pe această tablă. Pilonii care până mai ieri erau simpli soldaţi, cu o valoare scăzută fac nişte mutări destul de spectaculoase. Aceasta se întîmplă dintr-o simplă miscare, ca şi cum ai clipi odată din genele adânc rimelate.</p>
<p style="text-indent:.21in;margin-bottom:0;">Unul din turnuri pare să facă efectul, dar e o iluzie. Dar nu iluzii din cele ale lui Honore de Balsac. S epare că cel mai important pe actuala tablă de şah e jocul nebunului. Face mişcări, apropieri, indepărtari, sărituri, chiar nebunii, uneori disparitii şi mult spectacol. Poate are nevoie de consultatia medicului psihiatru. Mai ales că deputaţii au nevoie de un certificat de la psihiatrie. Asta nu pentru că ar fi nebuni, dar&#8230;pentru orice eventualitate&#8230;dar cel mai grav e că nebunul cât e el de nebun câştigă în putere spre sfârşitul jocului.</p>
<p style="text-indent:.21in;margin-bottom:0;">De aceea, trebuie de găsit o Regină. Dar unde s-a ascuns?</p>
<p style="text-indent:.21in;margin-bottom:0;">P.S. dragostea mea este politica <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<div><span>&#8220;Things one needs to learn are rigging, identifying a good location, making  a safe launch, starting your kite in the water, body-dragging without the board, and  making a safe landing for you and your kite.  And then, ultimately, you learn to sail your kite with a  board under your feet.<br /></span></div>

<div style="font-family:arial;"><span> </span></div>
<div style="font-family:arial;"><span> </span></div>
<div style="font-family:arial;"><span><br />Cape Hatteras is acknowledged as the best kitesurfing spot in the world.   In 2005, Cape resident Ron Pettit visited Pavones with his family for vacation and realized there was  potential for kitesurfing.  He returned in 2007 with his kite gear.</p>
<p>&#8220;At the time I didn&#8217;t now much about Pilon and how much windier it was  there than Pavones.  There was one exception</span><span>ally windy day and I kitesurfed while Alex windsurfed.  It  was a really fun session.  The wind was blowing 20 to 25 mph.  I heard there was a guy that  had been kiting in Pilon (Shawn) and met him and his family.</p>
<p></span></div>
<div style="font-family:arial;"><span> </span></div>
<div style="font-family:arial;"><span> </span></div>
<div style="font-family:arial;"><span>Shawn Donoghue says &#8220;Pilon is a unique set up because of the 90 degree  angle of the coast, which creates a captive beach, <span style="font-weight:bold;">there is no getting lost at sea, we are inside the Gulf</span>.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;With winds from 12 to 25 miles an hour, the spot is very safe to learn  versus the north part</span><span> of Costa Rica, which is more for advanced kiters.  The thermal wind starts to  blow around 11am, quits around 4pm.&#8221;</span></div>
<div style="font-family:arial;"><span> </span></div>
<div style="font-family:arial;"><span> </span></div>
<div style="font-family:arial;"><span><br />Pilon has side shore wind, which is <span style="font-weight:bold;">best from December to August</span>, though  Shawn reports he has kited up to 10 days a month in the off season.  </span></div>
<div style="font-family:arial;"><span> </span></div>
<div style="font-family:arial;"><span> </span></div>
<div style="font-family:arial;"><span><br />Ron added, &#8220;Pilon has the sideshore or side-on wind you need&#8221; for goo<span style="font-size:100%;">d  kitesurfing.  If the wind was on-shore, the kite would get caught in the giant palm trees that line  the beach.</span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial;">Lake Arenal, known for its windsurfing competitions, seems to be very windy and makes launching a kite challenging.  Pilon is also a challenging place to launch as the sea bottom is rocky, and kitesurfers here wear booties. The water isn&#8217;t shallow either. But as Ron says, &#8220;<span style="font-weight:bold;">at leas</span></span></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">t here I don&#8217;t have to worry about power lines and getting dragged across the highway.&#8221;</span><br /></span><br /></span></div>

<div style="font-family:arial;"><span><br />Ron advises kitesurfers to bring their big kites to Pilon.  He uses a 14  meter, rather large compared to the 7 meter or 9 meters he might use in the states.  &#8220;<span style="font-weight:bold;">You need a bigger  kite</span> because the wind is very hot here, it makes the air thin and the winds light.&#8221;</span></div>

<p>Regi: Michael Davis</p>
<p>Manus: Michael Davis</p>
<p>Med: Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, Monica Bellucci, Stephen McHattie Greg Bryk og Daniel Pilon.</p>
<p>Land: USA</p>
<p>Spilletid: 86 min</p>
<p>En mann, Mr. Smith (Owen), sitter ved et busstopp og ser en gravid kvinne forte seg forbi. Litt etter kommer en mann med pistol. Smith føler seg ansvarlig, og dreper mannen, før han fungerer som jordmor (jordfar?) mens en gjeng med folk prøver å skyte han. Moren til barnet dør, men Smith kommer seg unna med barnet. Han kontakter Donna Quintano (Bellucci), en prostituert som har mistet barnet sitt, og dermed har brystmelk. Hun går motvillig med på å hjelpe ham. Men det viser seg at noen er besatt etter å ta knekken på ungen, og grunnen er større enn Smith noengang kunne tenkt seg.</p>
<p>Det er to måter å se på denne filmen. Den første gjør den til en av de teiteste og tåpeligste actionfilmene noensinne, mens den andre gjør den til en utrolig morsom parodi på actionklisjeer og et smart studie i hvor langt grenser kan strekkes for komedie. Jeg ser på det på den andre måten. Dette er en av årets definitivt morsomste filmer. De går over i urealistisk territorie med vilje, og det er rett og slett synd at så mange ikke forstår intensjonen med filmen.</p>
<p>Alle karakterene er herlig overdrevne. Spesielt Clive Owen sin hovedperson er veldig bra. Paul Giamatti som skurken varierer litt mer, men han har absolutt sine øyeblikk av genialitet. Det jeg også liker godt med filmen, er at det i tillegg til en utrolig mengde over-the-top-scener også er en god del veldig tørre vitser og ordspill.</p>
<p>Men om en skal klage på noe, så kunne nok manuset vært enda litt bedre, i forhold til morsomheter. Det er ikke alle som treffer helt. Historien er også litt unødvendig innviklet, spesielt med tanke på hvordan resten av filmen er lagt opp. I tillegg kan det nevnes at det er noen effekter som er litt halvveis.</p>
<p>Men alt i alt, så er det sjelden en actionfilm får meg til å le skikkelig høyt og godt i kinosalen. Det var en gjennomført underholdende 1,5 time jeg hadde når jeg så denne, og den har fungert nesten like bra når jeg har sett den igjen senere. Anbefales på litt av samme grunnlag som gårsdagens Wanted, men her trengs det en viss kjennskap til action-sjangeren for at du skal få fullt utbytte.</p>
<p><strong>Dom:</strong></p>
<p>DHF: 8/10</p>
<p>IMDb: 7.0/10 (46 229 stemmer)</p>
<p>VG: <a href="http://www1.vg.no/film/film.php?id=9049">Terningkast 3</a> (Det er nesten som jeg slutter å ta med anmeldelsene fra VG. Rett og slett dårlig anmelderhåndtverk, syns jeg. Så er jo karakteren feil, men det er for såvidt irrelevant her.)</p>
<p>Dagbladet: <a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/2007/12/24/522124.html">Terningkast 4</a></p>
<p>Legg igjen en kommentar vel! Det hadde vært fint.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Tonight&#8217;s the Veep debate. Biden v. Palin, what a treat. This will, needless to say, be interesting. I&#8217;ll conjure up some thoughts after the debate, or you can catch me on Twitter (sarcascio).</p>
<p>Earlier this afternoon I went to a Federalist Society meeting. Now, for those of you who don&#8217;t know, FedSoc is the conservative/libertarian group who believe in a strict construction of the Constitution&#8211;meaning that what&#8217;s there is there and nothing should be read into it&#8211;and believe judges shouldn&#8217;t &#8220;legislate from the bench.&#8221;</p>
<p>That latter phrase is <em>especially</em> meaningless, because that&#8217;s essentially what the common law is. Court gets a case, there&#8217;s no statute controlling the issue, the judges make shit up based on vague legal authority and even more vague legal scholarship. Boom. Common law, until it gets overruled or reversed. Judges read into legislation <em>all the live long day</em> to find out what intent a given legislature has imbued into it. In fact, there&#8217;s a whole section of my Torts class where we talked about how judges were reading into criminal statutes what intent the legislatures had to see if they (the judges) could import that criminal statute into tort law.</p>
<p>Right from out of their asses, it came.</p>
<p>So anyway, I think &#8220;judicial activism&#8221; is a silly phrase, when basically the judiciary is always activist in <em>some</em> form or another to <em>some </em>group or another.</p>
<p>Anyway, the speaker was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Pilon" target="_blank">this fellow</a>, Roger Pilon, who was an interesting speaker, to say the least. He definitely butted heads with some of the folks in the room, including <a href="http://volokh.com/sasha/" target="_blank">this guy</a>, Professor Sasha Volokh, who, along with his brother, run <a href="http://www.volokh.com/" target="_blank">The Volokh Conspiracy</a>. Needless to say, all of these people are really big deals in the legal world: Pilon is with the Cato Institute and has an impressive CV, and the Volokhs are equally impressive.</p>
<p>Pilon mainly talked about the 14th Amendment and how it essentially ruined America for all the libertarians out there. He wants to return to a very strict interpretation of the Constitution, one exactly and totally in line with how the Founders wrote it. He fully believes this is a tenable position to hold. I am not so sure.</p>
<p>I did agree with some of what he was saying: the government should only step in when the rights of a person or group are being trampled on by some other person or group. That is perfectly fine. However, Pilon paints the government as a villain in all that it does, not a necessary evil but an <em>unnecessary</em> evil. He also made some incediary remarks about how we are not all equal and that there is no equality of opportunity, only &#8220;equality under the law.&#8221; This is, of course, open for debate.</p>
<p>Anyway, <a href="http://www.law.uh.edu/faculty/main.asp?PID=22" target="_blank">this gentleman</a>, Professor Peter Linzer, gave a rebuttal to what Pilon was saying and agreed with him on many things but also disagreed with him. He mainly diverged from Pilon regarding government intervention into the markets, citing the current crisis as evidence that a lack of government intervention is what caused this in the first place. Pilon countered with a vaguely &#8220;But Clinton!&#8221; statement, claiming that the Clinton administration wanted to broaden Fannie and Freddie&#8217;s ability to give subprime loans to people who apparently could not pay them back. Now, your humble author doesn&#8217;t know all the nuances of the crisis, so I will hold my judgment on this.</p>
<p>All in all, it was a very good lecture. Most people left around 1pm because they had class, but I stayed for about 45 more minutes to hear students (and Professor Volokh) try to argue against Pilon, who had a coherent response for every question.</p>
<p>I think this is why I came to law school, this fascinating exchange of ideas. It&#8217;s too bad you don&#8217;t really get that during class&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.fwis.com/">Fwis</a> es una empresa de diseño gráfico, al parecer, de Estados Unidos que pretende establecer un nuevo término tipográfico que designa a <strong>las partes huecas que hay en una tipografía tipo stencil (gioser, plantilla) y otorgan integridad estructural a las letras.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://luisldg.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/main_2.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-1013 aligncenter" src="http://luisldg.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/main_2.png" alt="pylon" width="408" height="152" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Pylon sería el nombre en inglés que, traduciéndolo al español, podría quedar como Pilón; sin embargo este término no dice nada de su concepto tipográfico, por lo tanto creo que el más correcto para el castellano podría ser algúno como Enlace o Conexión.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Hasta le han hecho una fuente inspirada en este concepto (y muy raquitica por cierto, ya que sólo incluye el abecedario inlgés, sin números ni puntuación) que puedes descargar directamente de su página oficial <a href="http://thisisapylon.com/">This is a Pylon</a>.</p>
