Size: 16x5x3cm, weight: 534gr.
Density: 2,06gr./cm³ / Estimated grit size: extra extra fine > 15k
Usage: with water, glycerine or oil, oil should be preferred
Colour: maroon/brown/reddish coloured and flaked red pattern with different brightness, the stone has smal flaked green inclusions in different sizes, sometimes huge areas of green sprayed colour, sometimes glass like green inclusion or layers go thru the stone (visible in the corner of this stone)
Maroon/brown/reddish coloured, a very fine and dense stone, its hard to lap in comparison to other slate type stones. It leaves a mirror-finish on the bevel beginning after several strokes..there are several stones around beeing named "Vosges/Vosgenienne/Vosgesienne" which might appear differently then this one.
Also the term "brown escher / brown thuringian" was created to describe a fine stone being comparable in its properties to older thuringian stones. These stones shown here are not in line with the term created by Sham (HIBUDL) as "Brown Turingians" because this term was mentioned to describe the french stones which are labelled and named as "La Lune marque F.G.B.C. by Ghelfi & Birolleau" or "Special Stone for Good Razors" with their stamps (fine, very fine, extra fine) sold by Manufrance (MF).
When these stones are shown often there is a discussion coming up if we talk about:
1. a purple variant of the Llyn Melynllyn (aka Yellowlake Stone, labelled "Salmens Natural Oilstone" or "Genuine Yellow Lake Oilstone)
2. a Vermont Slate mottled green/reddish, mostly used for rooftops
3. or a Vosges / Vosgienne stone
The difference between those comparable stones in their appearance of colour and the patterns can only be done by really testing the stone in its properties. Some identifiers are:
Vosges / Vosgienne:
many smaller and bigger flaked green spots and areas, a stone with fast cutting properties
Llyn Melynllyn aka Yellow Lake:
sometimes green spots, sometimes only one or two round or squashed oval green spots
More on this definition can be found here: Straightrazorplace.com (SRP): "Found another Hone, Need help" badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/397520-Found-another...
main identifiers for the Vosges / Vosgienne:
1. very dense and hard slate stone
2. flaked light green/greenisch inclusions in different sizes
3. fast cutting abilities due it is a very fine finishing stone
4. usable with oil and also with water, oil is preferred create a nice edge
5. beeing lapped a violet/brown slurry arises
6. Glass like green inclusions go thu the stone in form of flecks or layers

about 30 lbs down (so far) and I couldn't find a shot of before, ran across this one today. Doing lots of things healthier including no longer putting toxic chems on my hair! But the sunlight did wash it out a lot in that after shot. Fun fact.... losing 1 lb. takes 4 lbs. of pressure off your knees. I can sure tell that is correct! I have no knee pain any longer. Eating more fat and less sugar.
I'm always on the lookout for odd or unique diesels so I couldn't pass this one up. It's basically a GE C40-9W, but it's for a meter gauge railway in Brazil so it rides on B-B+B-B trucks to get the weight down to 20t per axle. I'm sure the real one is brown and white, but they get such a nice uniform coat of red dirt I thought Lego tan might look better/slightly weathered. The render tan looks darker than Lego tan. Eventually I'd like to do one in Vale colors.
Weight-loss is closely related to nutrition. To lose weight you need to not only reduce the amount of calories taken in, but also the type of calories you eat. For instance, you can not lose weight consuming sugary and/or high fat foods. Even though you may be taking in fewer calories, they are empty calories.
Never let yourself get too hungry. Keep a small container of fresh, raw vegetables, plain raw almonds or cut-up fruit to munch on whenever you start to get hungry. Small, healthy snacks throughout the day keep your energy up and help you resist the temptation to go crazy with high-calorie food.
Starvation diets are terrible for your weight-loss goals. Your body can react in ways contrary to what you would expect. When you skip meals anything more than occasionally, your body will go into starve mode. In starve mode your body will actually store fat rather than burn it. Eat regular meals to avoid this.
In any weight-loss scheme, the canny dieter will learn to do their own cooking. Turning healthy ingredients into healthy meals is a vital skill for losing weight - and for maintaining a healthy lifestyle after the weight is lost. Even pre-packaged foods that claim to be "healthy", can not be nearly as healthy as a well-planned meal made from fresh ingredients.
If you are looking for a diet that will work for you, try your local library. There are so many diets out there these days that it is difficult to know what will work for you. Instead of spending your money on book after book that you can't use, head to the library and check out a variety of different diets. Once you find something that works for you, you can go ahead and purchase the books.
Skip the desert, it is an unneeded luxury and empty calories. Instead of having pie, cake, or ice cream for desert you can always snack on something sweet and healthy such as a low calorie fruit smoothie or fat free yogurt. You can even indulge in a desert every every now and then. Just do not over do it.
A terrific weight-loss tip is to plan what you are going to eat in advance. If you plan ahead, you are not as likely to make a bad food choice at the last minute. If you are in a rush, you are likely to grab the first thing that is appealing to you, which will likely be unhealthy. Planning ahead eliminates this.
Drinking decaf coffee can be a terrific way to stop cravings. Many people love coffee, and it is actually filled with a terrific source of antioxidants. Make sure not to put cream and sugar in your coffee when drinking it, or you will just be adding extra calories to your day.
Skipping meals causes the body to burn fat more slowly because it thinks food is scarce, making losing weight even harder. If you are not able to eat a meal, at least try to consume a healthy snack. Some nuts or a fresh piece of fruit will keep your metabolism active.
When you are trying to lose weight, be sure to reward yourself when you do well. If you are walking for exercise, try giving yourself a reward after you have walked a certain amount. For example, every time you walk ten miles, go buy yourself a new book or go to the movies. This is a terrific way to keep motivated.
Eating a diet high in fiber which would include whole grains, raw or cooked vegetables and fresh fruit creates a sense of fullness and satisfies hunger longer. Nuts can also be valuable in losing weight but you should stay away from high fat nuts like cashews. Hard nuts like almonds take longer to eat and are lower in fat. zhangshibo.com
The trees around Cathedral Park felt the weight of a whole bunch of snow a couple weeks ago. Some trees, like the ones on the right, are meant handle the extra weight. Their limbs get covered and sag, but they remain intact. Others have branches that are strong but more rigid. They hold up for a time, but as snow loads up they fail and fail spectacularly.
Portland's infrastructure is a like a rigid branched tree. A little bit of snow fall is all right, but when it really starts coming down that's when it fails....and fails spectacularly. Businesses close down, cars are abandoned, grocery stores start running out of food items, home improvement stores sell their entire stock of shovels. What we were left with was frozen snow pack, rut filled roads and a lot of broken branches.
The positive side is that snow storms like this allow you to see the city as it's rarely seen, under a fluffy white blanket of snow. With my job being located at the top of a hill, I didn't go to work for four days. It was by my choice, but it did allow my to explore the city a bit and capture it's beauty.
Here the St. Johns Bridge sits above snow covered Cathedral Park.

Lose weight as easy as possible
Losing weight is very simple in theory, so we can summarize it in a few lines of this answer.
Caloric deficit is the only way and possibility to lose weight. It can't be done any other way. A calorie deficit means that you will burn more calories during the day than you will eat. In that case, the body will have to look for a source of energy other than food, and therefore it will be muscle mass and body fat.
To prevent loss of muscle mass, do regular anaerobic exercise, and also eat a sufficiently large amount of protein. By training, you give the body a signal that it cannot afford to lose muscle, because it needs it for exercise, and protein is used so that the body can realize this, it is a building material for muscle .
All ready. Losing weight is so easy in theory, and if you stick with it, you're bound to lose weight. Of course, this is only a brief summary, and a lot could be written about it, but this is enough for this article.
As simple as it is in theory, it can be difficult in practice, but that's what this article is for. Let's go through the weight loss tips one by one so that you can finally lose weight successfully.
1. Count calories
I had to put this tip right at the beginning, because it is perhaps the best tip of all. Count your calories. It doesn't really matter if it will be in a notebook or an app, although I would recommend this app.
I imagine you didn't want to hear that advice, after all, who would want to appreciate everything and then write it down somewhere. Although at first it will be very annoying, after a while you will get used to it and it will be part of your life.
Why is it so important to count calories?
Some time ago I wrote that you need to be in a caloric deficit, that is, burn more calories than you take in. However, if you don't count calories, you can't tell when you're in a caloric deficit or not. You can't know how much you can afford to eat during the day and how much you can't. And here's the rub: Unless you're in a calorie deficit, you can't lose weight.
If you're a beginner, actually counting calories, then it won't be as necessary, because you'll have a rough idea of what's in it, how many calories, and what you can afford to eat, and what you can't. But now you need it to start.
2. Measure your progress
This advice will have to do with weighing yourself. It's good to weigh yourself as it will give you an overview of how you are progressing with your weight loss.
However, many people are scared by the fact that they weigh more than yesterday. You can't look at it that way. It is natural that one will weigh more, another will weigh less. It is always mainly about the water you retain in your body. If you ate more carbohydrates or salt the day before, you will have more water in your body and therefore the scale will show that you have gained weight. It's just water.
The important thing is that you lose weight in the long term and keep it off. If you weigh less than last month, then it is important.
However, it is even more important that you not only value yourself, but also look at yourself in the mirror. There you can better see how you lose weight or not. Take photos and then compare them.
3. Do both anaerobic and aerobic activity
Another tip that can help you lose weight is to combine aerobic activity with anaerobic activity. This means that you will also exercise with your own weight, or in the gym, and you will also do cardio.
Exercising anaerobically, that is, with your own weight, or in the gym will help prevent loss of muscle mass, which is very important. The more muscles you have, the more calories you will burn, because your metabolism will be higher, and that is quite important when it comes to losing weight.
On the other hand, cardio is not very effective for preserving muscle mass, but it is for burning calories. For example, an hour of running like this burns many more calories than an hour of exercising in the gym with dumbbells.
It will be better if you do both types of activities to get the best weight loss results.
4. Do the type of cardio you like the most
Don't try to search and figure out which cardio exercises you should and shouldn't do. There is no universal answer to the question: Which cardio is better for weight loss?
Do whatever form of cardio you like best and can do it for as long as possible. Not everyone likes running, but you may like swimming, and that will be the right cardio for you. Maybe you prefer team sports, so you can play soccer.
All cardio exercises burn calories, so all types of cardio exercises are appropriate. Of course, if you do cardio by walking instead of running, you will definitely burn fewer calories in the same amount of time than you burn while running. But that's more of a cardio intensity thing, and we're talking about cardio fitness here. Do what you love, because that's the only way you'll get the best results.
5. Eat lots of fiber
Another tip is about diet, and that is to eat a lot of fiber. If you eat a healthy diet, which I assume you do, since you want to lose weight, then you must have enough fiber, because fiber is mostly found in seeds, vegetables, fruits, or grain products.
The reason to eat fiber is simple: it fills you up. When you're full while losing weight, that's absolutely great, because it means you don't want to eat more and therefore won't unnecessarily put extra calories into your body, but that's directly related to the weight loss itself.
A great tip is this: add vegetables to every meal. If it is a sweet and healthy meal, vegetables may not fit perfectly, but they do with salty dishes, for example, meat with rice, etc. The more vegetables you put in there, the more filling the meal will make you, adding almost no extra calories to the meal.
Try this tip at your next meal and see for yourself. You can add vegetables to your food as much as you want, it is totally up to you as it has so few calories that it is negligible.
6. Eat lots of protein
In addition to fiber, there is another nutrient that many people underestimate during weight loss, but they make a big mistake. It's just protein.
Protein is generally considered a muscle-building nutrient and has nothing to do with weight loss. But, for example, during weight loss, you can protect this muscle mass. If you don't protect it, you'll lose muscle, and that means your metabolism will slow down, making losing weight even more difficult and the likelihood of yo-yoing even greater. You need to maintain your muscles, even if you think you don't need to.
In addition, proteins, like fiber, have a long-lasting satiating effect. We have already mentioned the importance of this, but protein also has a very high thermic effect of food. This means that when the body digests protein, it uses energy, or calories, for its digestion and absorption.
If you eat, for example, 200 calories of protein, that is, 50 grams of protein, the body will consume 20 or even 40 calories just to digest them. This is a very good thing to lose weight.
Protein has a much greater thermic effect of food than carbohydrates or fats, so again, protein is good for weight loss, try to eat as much of it as possible.
7. Have the right diet
Speaking of dietary advice, another piece of advice would be this: choose a diet that works for you, as long as it's not a bad diet.
What I mean by this is that there are a lot of different diets these days, and that is why there is often confusion about which one to choose, which is the best diet. Certain diets may be better for certain health conditions, but there is no one weight loss diet that is better than other diets.
For you, it probably means a lot that you find a good diet, surely you already know some, and try it. As long as you like it and feel good about the diet, there is nothing to worry about. Don't try to find the best diet for weight loss when you already have a diet that works for you.
However, it should be added that not all diets are really good. Some diets preach eating very few calories, which is not good, neither from the point of view of health, nor to lose weight. Stay away from such diets as possible, for example, I mean diets like: one apple a day, or three apples a day, watermelon diet, eat only carrots.
These are not at all good diets to lose weight, because if you eat few calories, you will lose a lot of muscle mass, and also your metabolism will slow down a lot, and as soon as you finish the diet, you will gain all of it. fat back in no time.
If you're not sure if your diet has such a serious flaw, simply add up the calories you should eat in a day based on that diet. If this number is in the hundreds, then it is too few calories and not a good diet. Even 1,200-1,400 calories is too little. That will be the lower limit maybe for women who don't move at all, I mean they don't move at all, and they are very light, so they weigh little.
When it comes to diets like: paleo, fasting, keto, Mediterranean diet, etc., these are examples of good diets if you know how to configure them correctly. Realize that no matter what kind of diet it is, unless you're in a caloric deficit, there's no chance you'll lose weight.
8. Take a cold shower
I'm going to insert a tip here now that doesn't relate to status, but it's definitely good to diversify these tips so they're not so monotonous. As its name says, it is a shower in cold water. Maybe you understand the principle of how it works, but if not, of course I will explain it to you.
The body will always want to maintain its body temperature, as long as it is a healthy person. By taking a cold shower, you cool down your body and you will have to start doing something to warm up. That something will be the burning of calories to generate heat. You probably already know that calorie burning is directly related to weight loss.
The best part is that, in addition to this benefit, it has a good effect on health and building tolerance to winter, as the body learns to generate heat more efficiently, and your immunity will also improve significantly. At the same time, all you have to do is take a shower as usual, just turn the tap the other way, towards cold water.
It will be uncomfortable at first, but as soon as you're done showering, you'll feel great and be glad you took a cold shower. Remember, it burns calories.
And this applies not only to showers, but in general. A good example is sleeping, when you should not heat your room in winter, but cover yourself with something, even thicker. The blanket itself will not warm you one bit, your body will warm you by creating heat, during which it will burn calories, and the blanket will only hold that heat. After all, at least you will save on heating.
9. Do not prohibit food directly, rather do not even think about it
Let's go back to the diet again. Another thing that can help you lose weight is that you don't ban the foods you crave. But wait. I do not mean that you should eat everything you want.
When there is a food that you really like, but cannot eat it due to diet, just eat a small portion of that food. A bite can help you psychologically so that you do not ban that food. Because if you forbid it, you usually end up eating it anyway, because it's forbidden, and you have a great desire for it, since you know you can't afford it.
When there is a sliced cake on the table, you can eat half a piece, which may seem like a bit, but it tastes great. In very small quantities, it is difficult for you to eat a food that can ruin your diet, and if it helps you eat what you really want and do not want more, then you can have a small portion.
On the other hand, if you're the kind of person who has a strong will and can say no unequivocally, great, even better. But someone can't say no, and so it's better if you only eat a very small amount of that food, than end up eating a large amount because you've been banned.
And you can't peck at everything either, rather have it once every two or three days.
10. Cheat meal
If you don't like the above advice, which is not my case, but maybe yours, then you can substitute this one. Have a cheat meal once a week.
I write cheat meal, not cheat day. If you work hard all week, are in a caloric deficit, follow the diet like you're supposed to, and do regular training and cardio, there's room for a reward.
It will only be possible once a week, because it is a complete meal, not just a small fraction of it. However, as a cheat meal, you can eat anything you feel like.
One of those meals a week can definitely help you mentally, but also by revving up your metabolism a bit.
It's best if you set one meal a week, say Friday night, and have a cheat meal on Friday night every week. Then you can wait for the rest of the week, and this cheat meal can motivate you to some extent and eventually you will lose weight.
A little note about the cheat meal itself: it is indeed a meal during which you can enjoy whatever you want, but you shouldn't force yourself to gorge yourself or overeat. When you feel full, that's when you should stop eating and don't eat until you pass out.

This isn't photo I took, but it's something I'm very proud of.
I'm now slightly more than halfway to my goal of 200 pounds. Given this chart, I should be at my target weight by mid summer!
This chart is the result of me, about 8 weeks ago, joining the 20/20 Lifestyles Program offered by ProClub and sponsored by my employer. This is a comprehensive weight management and lifestyle adaptation program that involves:
1. A very strict diet plan. For me, this is 5 meals & 1500 calories per day each and every day. It includes food logging, specific food groups at certain times of the day, and a very methodical approach to planning meals and eating them. The diet is exceptionally healthy, and has been great to be on.
2. A very strict workout regiment. This means a personal trainer 3 days per week, and doing cardio for 60 minutes on my own 3 days per week. Much of my recent hiking activities are in order to meet the cardio requirements in a way I find more enjoyable than sitting on an elliptical machine.
3. Weekly nutritionist meeting to review food log, weight goals, and bodily responses to newly introduced foods.
4. A group therapy session for people to share in-progress difficulties and success related to the program and it's results.
Overall the program is great, and my goal of being “ripped up” looks to be about 4 months away.
Side effects have been: large blood pressure drop (130/90 -> 120/60. I’m probably 110/55 by now), resting heart rate has dropped significantly, and my ability to “climb hills” has jumped by a tremendous amount.
Climbs that before would have taken my 2 or 3 hours are now 1 hour in length with no stops. I can almost keep up with my dog!
At this point, things are kind of rough: None of my pants fit me – not even close. None of my belts fit. I’m swimming in my shirts. My workout clothes (shorts, etc) keep falling down if I forget to tie the waste strings.
I’m hesitant to buy new stuff, as it’s only going to fit for 3 weeks or so. Even my shoes are getting a bit too wide. Who knew my feet would shrink?
Anyway, this is just something I’m proud of, and thought I would share with the world…
OK so this is my way of trying to get myself motivated to get back to being fit again! My personal journey to being a better healthier me. Feel free to join me on this quest.
Advice is always welcome ( as long as it's constructive... telling me I'm a fat cow is not constructive.)
