According to People, Gwyneth Paltrow is the most beautiful woman alive. But some people are also calling her the most "hated" woman in Hollywood. She can probably credit her list of celebrity lifestyle whims for earning the latter title. But whether you're a lover or hater of "The Royal Tenenbaums" actress, you've got to admit that her idiosyncratic tendencies make her one of the industry's most interesting stars. Here are just a few quirky reasons why everyone is talking about Gwyneth.Teeny Weeny Tot Bikinis
Paltrow and her GOOP website are catching major flak for endorsing a line of two-piece swimsuits for girls aged 4 to 8. Fielding claims that the "adult-like" styling sexualizes children, the suits have sparked major debate. Is the swimwear too sexy for tots? Or are the ads themselves cause for pause? In any case, the leggy mother of two doesn't seem fazed by the backlash. While she defends designer Melissa Odabash's trendy swimwear, the rest of the world can chew on some of the other things Paltrow has said and done recently.
Gwyneth's Holy Grail...of Cookbooks
Let's take the star's latest cookbook, for example. The book's title declares that "It's All Good." But naysayers beg to differ. Are we really that opposed to Gwyneth's healthy recipes? Or is it the obscure and pricey ingredients that aggravate us so? In a world that's become accustomed to instant pre-packaged dining, we've come a long way from pruning nature's goodness for nourishment. Nonetheless, the blonde bombshell stands by her cooking tips, calling the criticism "sensationalist."
GOOP Gal Gets "Grabby"
With all the controversy surrounding Paltrow's life choices, we've almost forgotten that the lady has a sense of humor. During a taping of "The Graham Norton Show" on April 19, she was challenged with proving that comedian Lee Mack's legs were uneven by feeling the height difference of his knees. But her gasps of surprise turned to howls of laughter when she fondled Mack's testicles, revealing that they too, were uneven.
She Loves "Love"
Ever so often, one of our favorite celebs reveals a guilty pleasure. Gwyneth's happens to be a fan of a TV show called "Ready for Love." The NBC matchmaking reality series, which premiered April 9, features a trio looking for love amongst a gaggle of female contestants. "I could not turn it off! I was like okay, I'll just watch 'til one more commercial break and then I'll turn it off and go to sleep," Paltrow admitted on an episode of "The Rachael Ray Show." Unfortunately for Gwyn, her guilty pleasure has come to an abrupt end; the flailing series was cancelled after just a few episodes.

Here is another update, I don't want to have 15 threads for this so I will add them all to this one until a release.
To quote from PSGroove:
We reported last week about drk||Raziel's serious undertaking of porting the nullDC emulator to the PS3. drk||Raziel has again exclusively informed us of his latest development.
After many hours of debugging he has finally got the emulator running on the PS3! Currently it is just the Dreamcast BIOS running, but very impressive none the less! The BIOS still have graphical glitches, but understand this project is still very early in development.
drk||Raziel still does not have his own hardware to develop on, and still seeks donations. He is 2/3rds of the way to his goal of buying his own PS3.
Having his own hardware would greatly increase development speed, as currently all code must be sent off to be tested by others.
Another update:
Below is the video, and I added it to the first post as well.Video of nullDC Dreamcast Emulator Running Games on PS3
For the last few weeks we've been helping drk||Raziel test and debug his nulldc emulator. We're now pleased to exclusively bring you a video of it in action! Progress has been steady since his last update, showcasing the BIOS running.
Games are now running and all of the graphical glitches are now gone from the BIOS! This is still a very early build of this emulator, and it will be a few more weeks before this really gets to playable form. It is currently running very slowly, (7.5 frames per second), but drk||Raziel has not even touched speed optimization yet.
Also, many games have graphical glitches, sound is not ported yet, and most games don't boot at all (mainly because they gripe about not having sound). However, progress is moving extremely quick on this project and it is shaping up very nicely! Below is a video of the emulator running Power Stone and Crazy Taxi and check out some pictures of it after the jump!
Please note video has been cut in a few spots, mainly when it is loading (it took a minute) the emulator at the beginning, and when it cuts to Crazy Taxi.
You may notice there are 2 faint black lines running horizontally through some of these pictures. These lines are not caused by the emulator. They are caused by the television set used in the demonstration, it is damaged and causing these lines.
This is awsome news man, great work and i can't believe they have this running that good in only a few weeks.
this is great, just got my blackcat today can't wait for this to be done and to play shenmue in hd glory
I'm not going to do a new thread yet for this as it's a small update, but here is the current status from drk||Raziel: http://drk.emudev.org/blog/?p=202
Resuming operations !
Just a quick post to notify ya guys and gals waiting for news, that i had to suspend development for a month or so due to some personal reasons. As of today, i�m back into coding though !
Oh, and there�s Xmas coming huh � mnn
On a sidenote, as of yesterday nullDCe also runs on android, thank god the internet for willing overseas testers !. Also, the ppc rec got some improvements some weeks ago (wii speeds tripled, now nearing playable rates). The same code will also be used for ps3 (both wii and ps3 use ppc in big endian). There are some vidis on youtube, you can go hunting for them, but nothing too pretty so won�t link from here
will be really interesting to watch the progress of this emu..
New post on drk||Raziel's blog http://drk.emudev.org/blog/?p=210
ports, ports & ports !
More progress on the android front, i finished porting the arm code-path to android. This isn't such a huge feat considering the code worked already for linux, but its nice to be done with the initial porting . Will try to find a cheapo small tablet now so I can work more on the interface and stuff, so its more usable — but don't hold your breath over it just yet.
*MANY* thanks to BlankCD01 for the many hours he let me play with teamviewer and his phone !
Also, got some dynamic code running on the ps3, so dynarec there is one step closer. yay ? kudos to ps3sx for helping there (and of course to AerialX for kammy)

Monthly Career Horoscope for VirgoPresented by Horoscope.com
You won't get much help with a complicated project from colleagues. This is very frustrating since you have little experience in this area. A seasoned professional is withholding information, hoping to embarrass you. It might be necessary to tell your boss about the situation before your professional reputation takes a hit. The end of February warns against giving public presentations. You don't have enough information to make a compelling case. Postpone a talk or lecture until March when you'll have more facts and figures at your disposal. It will be difficult to get more time for this endeavor, but stick to your guns.

Margaret – Corporation
Margaret bought her property for $250,000 and put it in corporation following her accountant's advice. When she sold the property 15 years later, she had a significant capital gain which was taxed at a very high rate of approximately 40%.
David A. Altro explains what Margaret could have done differently to avoid the 40% tax rate, and suggests a Cross Border Trust may have been a better structure.

Big Billie's, Shandoka and Big Billie's Are All Full
TELLURIDE – The slow off-season months in Telluride and Mountain Village typically see an increase in seasonal employees looking to work at the Telluride Ski Resort, the region's largest employer. But for the 2013-2014 ski season, affordable housing in the region for these employees is increasingly scarce.
The number of applicants hoping to live at the Village Court Apartments in Mountain Village, for example, far exceeds the number of available units, according to complex manager Steven Spencer.
"It's safe to say that VCA is effectively 100 percent full through the ski season," he said. Many Telski employees choose to live at VCA because it offers six month leases that closely match the length of the ski season.
The Shandoka Apartment complex in Telluride is facing a similar shortage.
"Basically, if you're applying to live in Shandoka you're dependent on someone flaking out on an application that's ahead of yours, or a surprise move-out that we don't expect," said Shandoka manager Dave Johnson. Still, Johnson encourages people to apply for housing there, "because openings do occur."
Big Billie's, the Telluride Ski and Golf Co.-owned affordable housing complex in Mountain Village, is facing the same pressure, according to complex manager Jeremy Flint.
"Big Billie's is 100 percent full," Flint said. "There is no way around it. We have about 50 people on the wait list. We filled up extremely quickly this year."
Big Billie's offers Telski employees $200 per month stipends for the 2013-2014 ski season, provided they're in good standing with the apartment complex and their managers.
The sudden lack of affordable employee housing for seasonal workers puzzles San Miguel County Regional Housing Authority Executive Director Shirley Diaz.
"The reason for the shortage? I simply don't know," she said. Housing for seasonal workers was nowhere near this scarce last year, she added.
At first, Diaz suspected the housing shortage was due to Telski hiring more seasonal employees than last year, but Telski's human resources staff says there was not an increase in employees, according to Diaz.
Telski officials did not respond to multiple requests for an interview or comment from The Watch before this article went to press.
While Diaz is researching the reasons behind the shortage of affordable housing, she suspects that many seasonal employees who originally came to the region to work for Telski or other organizations are staying in the region longer, even after changing jobs.
"We've had more people staying. A lot of them are working two to three jobs to stay here consistently. We're seeing less turnover," Diaz said.
Diaz added that this year, she has seen fewer deed restricted units become available.
"The local employees already in Telluride find out about the open deed-restricted housing units first and apply before someone coming in from outside the region can do the same," Diaz said. "Landlords have the ability to select their tenants, as long as they qualify, and it is easier for someone who is already here to qualify under the deed restrictions."
"We think affordable housing is an important priority to keep our community vibrant," said
Mountain Village Mayor Dan Jansen. "We saw this shortage happening, and are working to find ways to create more options for our residents and employees over the long term, which is central to Mountain Village's comprehensive plan that was adopted last year."
The Mountain Village comprehensive plan is a 30-year vision of transforming the town into a more sustainable year-round economy by providing more housing, better amenities and more business. It's available online.
Telluride Mayor Stu Fraser said he hopes the new town council, which includes two new members, Todd Brown and Jenny Patterson, will address the need for more affordable housing.
"The council will focus on housing because we're out of the recession, our inventory is in good shape and we do have the funds available," Fraser said. "The lack of affordable housing in the area has been a problem for many people. But the bottom line is that we don't have the land banking capabilities at this point. We've got land, but not necessarily the correct land that can be made into rental units.
"That doesn't mean we can't make it work, but we're going to judge it carefully as to what we need most of. Right now, a large majority of housing we have in town is rental, and we've been trying to build up the town's share of owner-occupied units."
Fraser ran for council in 2001 on the platform to build more affordable housing in the area, and says one of the most rewarding aspects during his tenure as a Telluride public servant was to create more affordable housing options for residents.
"But we need to do more and my hope is that we'll get it done."

Suvarnabhumi Expands, But Still Struggles With Baggage Basics
The architectural gem is a beauty on the outside, but decidedly less so on the inside.
Sitting at our desks on the other side of the world, it's hard to comprehend everything we've read about Thailand's six-year-old international gateway, Suvarnabhumi Airport, located about 16 miles from Bangkok.
From 200 armed thugs taking over a parking lot for an afternoon to demonstrators occupying the terminal for days. From sinkholes in the runways to an outage in BKK's otherwise "Uninterruptible Power Supply" that knocked out radar.
We've read so much about BKK that we wonder if each and every one of the airport's problems could be true.
But we don't doubt the truth behind the airport's expansion plans. Last year, 48 million travelers passed through BKK, and the number is likely to reach more than 52 million this year.
The problem is BKK was designed to handle 45 million annually and passed that threshold years ago.
"We are, consequently, planning to expand our passenger capacity to 60 million," says Toompetch Boonyaridh, vice president of corporate communications for Airports of Thailand Public Company Ltd., the airport authority for BKK and five other Thai airports.
As a result, AOT is speeding up completion of BKK's expansion by one year with Phase 2 scheduled for completion in 2016.
Under Phase 2, a satellite terminal will be built with 28 gates, eight of which will be able to handle the A380.
The expansion also includes more than 10 million square feet of new apron area for aircraft parking.
But the added space will only catch up with projected traffic demand by 2016.
Meanwhile, the airport is addressing problems with baggage handling at its current capacity. Neither of the airport's two main ground support companies can meet the set time limit for delivering baggage.
Thai Ground Services, a part of the Thai Airways brand, could meet the mark only a third of the time. That's particularly alarming since Thai Ground Services handles about three-quarters of the bags at BKK.
Bangkok Flight Services, a joint venture between Worldwide Flight Services and Bangkok Airways, handles most of the rest of the load and did better, but still met the set time limit 63 percent of the time.
According to Somchai Sawasdeepon, director of Suvarnabhumi Airport, guidelines call for the first bags to appear in baggage claim no more than 20 minutes after deplanement with the last bag to appear within a half hour.
"I'm afraid the problems persist despite numerous warnings and they have yet to get their acts together," Sawasdeepon told the Bangkok Post last July.
He blamed delays on insufficient manpower and equipment rather than any glitches with airport's baggage system.
We reached out to both ground handlers for their comments and heard this from BFS.
"The issue with the baggage handling is mainly directed at TG and AOT have met with them to get their commitment to improve the service," Robert Ruesz, director of passenger services and sales, BFS, told us by email. "We are working with the Airport Baggage Committee identifying infrastructure and other issues that are challenges at such a large, single terminal airport."
He added that the company rarely receives any complaints from its customers since he believes BFS operates well compared with airports of a similar size.
"However, we are always looking for improvement and have suggested some areas that could reduce delivery times," he adds. "These are ongoing discussions with the airport authority."
With the expansion of BKK years away, AOT is taking other action to ease congestion at the airport.
Last March, the government ordered all low-cost carriers to move to Don Mueang International Airport – once the country's premier gateway that was originally closed the day BKK opened.
Some 10 LCCs began moving to the airport's single runway as of Oct. 1. These include some LCCs that might be light on price, but are heavy on passengers. Thai AirAsia, for example, carried 7.2 million passengers in 2011.

Mkhitaryan sails by but the show goes on
There is a scene to end the 1998 Oscar-nominated movie "The Truman Show" which manages to paint comic relief pitch black.
After the affable Truman Burbank realises his entire life has been the subject of a reality television show viewed by millions of people -- therefore ceasing transmission the show which had been obsessed over continuously for 30 years -- two security guards stare at the blank screen. "What else is on?" asks one. "Yeah, let's see what else is on," ponders the second, confirmation of man's fickle nature.
It's a comedic moment to finish the film, a much-needed smile after the emotional climax, but beneath lurks a darker tone: the man who was part of people's lives for so long, who gave hope and joy and inspiration to so many, is forgotten so quickly.
Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan must have felt like the star of his own show in recent weeks. He was under constant surveillance; every move was documented, every internal thought somehow shared with the world. His inclination, we were told, was to move to the Premier League, to Merseyside, to play for Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool. He was the man to bring hope, joy and inspiration to Anfield.
-Mignolet relishing battle with Reina
-Sturridge on course for new season
Scenarios were concocted of how and where he would play, of how he would be the final piece of a 23-year-old jigsaw. Little news of anything else was offered, nor was it wanted. Time stood still and the sun refused to set until this saga -- and how it became one, with talkative agents and grainy leaked photographs -- was complete.
He was worth the wait, anyway. Mkhitaryan was the player to propel Liverpool to Champions League football, the title, the moon and the stars; he was the talent to combine the city's two cathedrals into one gigantic superdome of worship and jetski on the waves of the River Mersey recently turned into wine.
The reality was far different. The more he was scrutinised, the more inevitable the rejection became. Shakhtar and Borussia Dortmund have reportedly agreed on a fee of £21.5 million for Mkhitaryan and Liverpool's perfect summer has suddenly been clouded. After identifying four players -- and successfully signing them -- by the first day of July, their first-choice transfer target has failed to arrive.
There is no telling how Mkhitaryan would have fared at Liverpool. But one thing for certain is the importance attached upon him. He was central to Liverpool's plans, identified as the signing to excite the peasants and coax even more from Philippe Coutinho and -- if he stays -- Luis Suarez.
But the transmission finishes; the screen turns static. Here ends the Mkhitaryan show. In the words of that first security guard: What else is on?
This is where Liverpool must show their summer did not begin and end at Mkhitaryan. There are plenty of other options in that role, but availability is another matter. In a sport where little is guaranteed, the club must act quickly and focus on their attacking alternatives.
It also gives the first real glimpse of what happens when Rodgers and his transfer committee fail in their foremost desire. Though their efficiency in securing deals for Simon Mignolet, Iago Aspas, Kolo Toure and Luis Alberto is praiseworthy, only Mignolet could be regarded as a player ready to be dropped into their best 11 -- and even that is no guarantee given Rodgers' comments of goalkeeping competition, no matter how insincere they may ultimately prove.
This is where the scouting network, in all its intricacies, will show its worth. Scouting is not as simple as attending football matches and identifying the standout player; it is about securing contacts, discovering asking prices and pesky hidden clauses. A nose for networking is as important as an eye for a player. Though the club should face little blame for Mkhitaryan -- Liverpool never even had the opportunity to formally speak to the player -- there is the worry over how unsure the process appeared; there is worry regarding the uncertainty over cost and ownership.
Names will inevitably come: Christian Eriksen, Michu, Hatem Ben Arfa and many more. But the Mkhitaryan dealings highlight just how futile names can be and how immaterial they are until printed on the material of a replica shirt.
Liverpool simply cannot panic. If they have constructed a contingency plan around Mkhitaryan, they have no need to. If they now sit in their offices, desperately rifling through paperwork and DVDs as their starting point, consider this another lesson to learn.
Indeed, a lesson has been learned already for some with Mkhitaryan's decision to join Dortmund: players such as Coutinho, Suarez and Daniel Sturridge, who possess both big-game experience but the willingness to play in a side struggling for European qualification, are hard to find.
Champions League football, at some point, becomes essential to attract a certain calibre of player. Anfield can become a refuge for those seeking redemption, for players whose trajectory need to turn upward once more. But with players who are moving upwards consistently, a Champions League side is desired to continue that.
But to qualify for the Champions League, Liverpool need better players. That is why they must take the opportunity to acquire them when they can; that is why they must recover after failure to sign a player who would improve them, and prepare to find the next one.
That replacement could be like-for-like; they could be Spanish, French, Italian; they might even be a player who will demand a shuffle of Liverpool's front four. But above all that, they must be a player Liverpool have confidence in, a player capable of making Mkhitaryan an unpronounceable, unimportant footnote this summer. It will be no laughing matter if they fail to do that.

Hello everyone, my name is Charlie, and I wanted to create a thread to revisit the basics. It is the basics which make BFL a lifestyle that anyone can follow.
Most have the book, so the food list is simple and most know it. So i am not going to repost the food list. It's here on the site as well.
After looking and reading on the forums for months, I always see a lot of the same info posted. Eat one gram of protein per lb of lean mass, or bodyweight. Then I see threads popping up about how many grams per meal, and then people weighing their chicken in ounces. I have even see people go to such drastic measures as measuring all food including vegetables in grams! This just isn't necessary. Bill Phillips purposely avoided even the most generic remarks of eating 1 gram of protein per lb of weight, because it creates confusion. It creates questions, and it can make you over analyze and take your focus off of what it needs to be on. Then some champions even have listed meal plans where they eat only 5 times a day. Some people like Lorenzo Calderon ate 7. Then you have Scott Lapierre who only ate green beans for carbs. You see so many people doing so many different variations, it can make you wonder what to do .
So in review, Let's do this!
1. Eat a portion of protein the size of YOUR palm.
2. Eat a portion of carbs the size of YOUR clenched fist.
3. Add 1 tbsp unsaturated oil daily OR 3 portions of salmon weekly
4. Add vegetables to AT LEAST 2 meals
5. Drink 8-10 glasses of water
6. Eat 6 meals a day, every 2-3 hours
7. On your FREE DAY eat whatever you want
This is all on memory, I believe I covered everything for the nutrition.
Don't worry about how many grams of protein you need to get in a day, or how many ounces in each meal.
Same with carbs, use your judgement. It's all about your fist! :)
Using the palm/fist method you will get enough protein for your body to achieve the results you are looking for.
You will be able to shed body fat, gain lean muscle and reach your goals.
I speak from experience. I went from 335 lbs to 208 lbs in 18 months without ever weighing or measuring food and by following the simple rules above.
We all know the rules, yet often times we focus on the little details when in reality it just is not necessary to do so.
BFL plan is set out perfectly. No need to question it or to try to add to it.
Now let's get to it!
Charlie Wigington Jr
2011 Body for life Champion.
Thank you for posting this! In conjunction to the proper diet and exercise regime please don't forget to add EAS supplementation to reach your goal.
You can reach your goal without EAS supplementation. Bill even states that you can reach your goals eating 6 whole food meals a day, but if time does not allow, meal replacements are a good choice.
Amen. Amen. Amen!
It's not necessarily easy, but it is simple!
It seems we can make it so complicated, tweaking everything to death. And just because a 'champion' did this or that, doesn't mean everyone has to or even that the particular 'tweak' will work for someone else. We all adjust (just not the basics) to fit our bodies and life, but we need to trust the program. It works.
Don't you love it when people say, "I followed the program exactly and I don't know why it didn't work," and then you find out, they don't do HIIT, rearrange the entire workout, eat only 4 meals or so, eating low-carb and don't drink water? Where's the exact? Not that I want to dump on anyone, no way! I have my faults enough believe me. (My tweak is light Miracle Whip...just enought to stick. Yeah, yeah, I know....) It's like you said, stick to the basics and the program will work.
And I absolutely love your 'title'!!!! Now that's faith in the program! And what extraordinary results you've had. Job well done! Best wishes and Happy Thanksgiving.
"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." - Robert Collier
bumping this because there is yet another thread asking about macro ratios.
I stumbled on this website after reading a blog from a wedding post. I am getting married and need a little help. I have about 6 months and hoping to lose about 45 lbs. I heard great things about this plan but I can't seem to find the actual guidelines/workout plans etc. Where can I find the guidelines/food list for the plan? Please help me.
Great post Charlie. In a "house" as big as this place, information can be misleading to the newbies that is for sure. Thank you for posting this.
Bride2B go to the library tab at the top. Lots of great information and tools
Ok. Here is the routine.
Weight training is done A-B-A style, upper/lower split.
High Intensity Interval Cardio is done on non consecutive days.
Don't ever do weights and cardio on same days, this is high intensity and will require all of your energy.
The plan works, don't try to recreate something else.
So week 1 will look like this
Mon - Upper
Tue - Cardio
Wed - Lower
Thur - Cardio
Fri - Upper
Sat - Cardio
Sun - Off
Week 2 will look like this
Mon - Lower
Wed - Upper
Thu - Cardio
Fri - Lower
And it keep flip flopping, or repeating.
I don't know your background for working out, but most of the reactions I get when showing people how to follow this schedule, is "You're working out 6 times a week?!?!?!"
Well Upper Body is the longer of the workouts, around 45 minutes, Lower I get done in about 38 min and Cardio is 20 minutes. All in All for the entire week I am in the gym LESS than 4 hours. So don't be initimidated or think it's too much, cause it's not. It does work.
Now the weights. It is a half pyramid set, with a drop set, and superset. I'm just being analytical, don't worry if that sounds like gibberish to you.
So you work your chest on Upper Body day,
12 reps ( this is warmup set)
10 reps
8 reps
6 reps( no rest)
12 reps(no rest)
12 reps ( different exercise)
Ok so the first 3 sets of 12, 10 and 8, you will take 1 minute of rest between sets. Once you complete the 6 reps there is no rest. You then choose a lighter weight( this is the drop set) and go for 12 reps. Then no rest and you choose a different exercise for the same muscle. So if you were doing dumbbell bench press, on your last set you would do 12 reps on incline bench press, dumbbell flyes, etc.
In short, a pyramid is designed to increase intensity. As the reps decrease, the weight increases.
It's all about pushing yourself to be your best every workout.
Is there magic in this half pyramid training? Nope. But it does work. You could do 2 exercises for each muscle group of 3 sets of 8 and still have incredible results as long as you are pushing yourself beyond your limits and always striving to be your best. No magic in any sets, the magic is in the intensity and consistency.
I hope this was simple to understand, if not, ask away.
Also, Bride2Be, there is a Body for Life book by Bill Phillips. You can get it used ultra-cheap at amazon.com or check your local library. It's a great resource and every time I read it I pick up something new. Be sure to get the original book, the one for women (by a different author) is not as helpful.
Best wishes with the wedding. I'm sure you will be beautiful.
Want it. Plan it. Do it.
Thank You so much!!!
The information has been very helpful!!
I plan to start my challenge on Monday, giving me time to go to the grocery and check out some of the gyms (My membership expired on 11/22 & I was not very happy with the equipment there!)
Ya'll have a great weekend and I'll fill ya in on my progress =)
Hey Charlie,
I thought I'd add some of Bill Phillips thoughts from the Success Journal, Day 11
"Have faith in what you see."
I am often asked questions about the Program, such as: "Why do 20 minutes of aerobics instead of 15? Why not do 5 reps instead of 6 on your heaviest set? Why eat 6 meals a day instead of 5? Can a person like me succeed at this? Isn't it impossible to change so much so fast?" By far and away, the vast majority of these questions can be answered with just two words: "Have faith." Not blind faith; just the opposite. Have faith in what you see! The dozens of success stories you'll read about in this book represent literally hundreds of thousands of people who have achieved extraordinary results. And, by and large, they followed the Body-for-LIFE Program to the letter. The Program, as it's designed, works. That is a fact. I highly encourage you to have faith, not just in me, but in the other people who have successfully completed the Program. And, most important of all, have faith in yourself. You will succeed when you give yourself the opportunity. I promise."
I apologize for any typing errors!
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. - Robert collier
I am all for keeping it basic and simple too. I was strickly "by the book" and has great results. I would not modify, tweak, or make things more complex. If you are new to BFL just follow what the book says for 12 weeks and do not give up, give in, or change it. After 12 weeks just keeping going and use what you learn to make it "for life"

Academy annual trainings are conducted at the Seattle University School of Law because of its outstanding professional and physical facilities. Annual trainings are usually three days (Wednesday through Friday) during the third week in June. Substantial efforts are made to tailor each year's training to the perceived needs of the registrants. For this reason, while a preliminary program is posted by the December preceding the training, the program is continually revised and updated to reflect both the expressed desires of the registrants and current legal developments. Moreover, to assure the highest quality training and enable communication among the registrants, participation is capped at 100 persons on a first-come, first-served basis.
Registration fees for the annual training include one full set of training materials (hard copy and CDROM), one evening reception, two lunches, and morning and afternoon refreshment breaks. Hotel accommodations convenient to the School of Law are available at a special conference rate. Reduced fees are usually available for early registrants and for multiple registrants from one state.

HGTV Message Boards
HGTV Design Star
Meg's Room 8/11
Watched Meg's show last night. It was a little bright for my taste, but it was just what she and her husband liked. This episode showed what could be done with a space that you do not own. It was good that it showed what could be done to make a space your own without extensive remodeling.
I liked the backing on the bookshelves. Also liked that they told how to update the fireplace in a way that could be restored to its original design when they moved. It is good to know you can do something besides paint when you are renting.
The color Meg used is the Pantone color of the year for 2012: Tangerine Tango. It did not read well on my TV but it is close to the color I painted my kitchen in 1975. If you live long enough, you see everything again.
What I really liked about this show was seeing the playful relationship between Meg, her husband and Marc. Looks like they have lots of fun together.
Her design was awful last night. I am glad she did that mess to her own apartment and not a clients.
Love, Meg Caswell's designs and her personality! She's the best Design Star since David Bromstad (absolutely #1). Antonio is interesting and creative but his designs are too edgy for every day living.
I think Meg Caswell is an extremely talented decorator. Very inventive, but something that most people would love. When is she coming back to HGTV?
Also, what happened to the winner of the 2012 contest? I thought she had potential.This message has been edited. Last edited by: craftyrita,

The left is very well aware of the nature of Islam, but they see the Islamists as useful idiots. The silent alliance is being used to have Islam do the dirty work of destroying the free west, they the leftists plan on discarding Islamists and take over. Little do they know they have a tiger by the tail, and one with very sharp teeth and claws.

Have to agree with poster #1. There are six billion people on earth and one billion of them are muslims, how many marxists are there? And marxists think they´ll be in control when Western Civilization falls? Think not.

The left must align with any group that is anti-Jewish or anti-Christian, for these groups are the indispensable enemies (the ones the left can attack without fear of physical retribution). Prof Fairman has it right--and it´s ironic that the left will call on these same groups for protection when the merde hits the (eco-friendly) windmill.

I do not buy the premises regarding McCarthy (they were communists), or concerning imperialism (America or GB were never imperialist nations). Please don´t repeat liberal nonsense. As for Islam, to h__ with it.

If your child has been diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, it means he or she was born with a problem in the heart's structure. The news that your child has a congenital heart defect probably made you anxious and worried about your child's immediate and long-term health. But, knowing about your child's congenital heart defect can help you understand his or her condition and what you can expect in the coming months and years.
Some congenital heart defects are simple and don't need treatment, such as a small hole between heart chambers that closes on its own. Other congenital heart defects in children are more complex and may require several surgeries performed over a period of several years.
Serious congenital heart defects usually become evident during the first few hours, days, weeks and months of life. Signs and symptoms could include:
Less serious congenital heart defects are often not diagnosed until later in childhood. Your child may not have any noticeable signs or symptoms. If signs and symptoms are evident in older children, they may include:
Serious congenital heart defects are often diagnosed before or soon after your child is born. If you notice that your baby has any of the signs or symptoms above, call your child's doctor.
If your child has any of the signs or symptoms of less serious heart defects as he or she grows, call your child's doctor. Your child's doctor can let you know if your child's symptoms are due to a heart defect or another medical condition.
The heart is divided into four hollow chambers, two on the right and two on the left. In performing its basic job — pumping blood throughout the body — the heart uses its left and right sides for different tasks. The right side of the heart moves blood to the lungs through vessels called pulmonary arteries. In the lungs, blood picks up oxygen then returns to the heart's left side through the pulmonary veins. The left side of the heart then pumps the blood through the aorta and out to the rest of the body.
A baby's heart starts beating just 22 days after conception. At that point, the heart has a simple tube shape. Between days 22 and 24, the heart begins to bend to the right and fold in on itself to form a loop. By 28 days after conception, the tube has a vaguely heart-like shape with structures corresponding to the heart's two sides and the large blood vessels that carry blood in and out of them.
It's usually at this point in your baby's development that heart defects may begin to develop. Researchers aren't sure exactly what causes defects to begin, but they think some medical conditions, medications and genetics may play a role.
There are many different types of congenital heart defects, falling mainly into these categories:
Holes in the heart. Several heart defects can be thought of as holes in the walls between heart chambers or between major blood vessels leaving the heart. These holes allow oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix. If the holes are large and a lot of blood is mixed, the blood that ends up being circulated through your child's body is not carrying as much oxygen as normal. Not having enough oxygen in the blood can cause your child's skin or fingernails to appear blue in color. Your baby may also develop signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure, such as shortness of breath, irritability and leg swelling, because both oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood are flooding (overcirculating) the lungs.
Examples of hole defects include ventricular septal defect, which is a hole in the wall between the right and left ventricles; atrial septal defect, a hole between the upper heart chambers; and patent ductus arteriosus (DUK-tus ahr-teer-e-OH-sus), an opening between the pulmonary artery and the aorta.
Most congenital heart defects result from problems early in your child's heart development, the cause of which is unknown. However, certain environmental and genetic risk factors may play a role. They include:
For serious congenital heart defects, it's necessary for your child to receive treatment soon after birth to avoid serious problems. Fortunately, most serious heart defects are found soon after birth, and sometimes are detected even before your baby is born.
Some of the potential complications that can occur with a congenital heart defect include:
If your child has a life-threatening heart defect, it will likely be detected soon after birth, or possibly before birth as a part of routine exams during pregnancy.
If you suspect your child has a heart defect later in infancy or childhood, talk to your child's doctor. Be prepared to describe your child's symptoms and provide a family medical history, since some heart defects tend to be hereditary. Your child's doctor may also want to know if the mother of the child had any medical conditions or used any medications or alcohol while pregnant that may have been a risk factor for developing a congenital heart defect.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions helps you make the most of your time together. You might want to ask the following questions:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Your child's doctor may initially suspect a problem because he or she hears a heart murmur during a routine exam. A heart murmur is a sound that occurs when blood flows through your child's heart abnormally. Many heart murmurs are innocent, meaning the murmur isn't dangerous to your child's health. Some murmurs, however, may mean blood is flowing through your child's heart abnormally because he or she has a heart defect.
If it's possible your child has a heart defect, your doctor or your child's doctor may order several tests to see if your child has a heart problem. In addition to a regular physical exam, these could include:
A congenital heart defect may have no long-term effect on your child's health — in some instances, such defects can safely go untreated. Sometimes they aren't even discovered until adulthood.
Some heart defects, however, are serious and require treatment soon after they're found. Depending on the type of heart defect your child has, doctors treat congenital heart defects with:
Some children with congenital heart defects require multiple procedures and surgeries throughout life. Although the outcomes for children with heart defects have improved dramatically, most people, except those with very simple defects, will require ongoing care, even after corrective surgery.
It's natural for many parents to feel worried about their child's health, even after treatment of a congenital heart defect. Although many children who have congenital heart defects can do the same things children without heart defects can, here are a few things to keep in mind if your child has had a congenital heart defect:
Because the exact cause of most congenital heart defects is unknown, it may not be possible to prevent these conditions. However, there are some things you can do that might reduce your child's overall risk of birth defects and possibly heart defects too, such as:

KILLINGLY — Forget the "Thrilla in Manila" or the "Rumble in the Jungle" because on Tuesday inside the Killingly Intermediate School it was the "Dual in the School," where two assistant principals faced-off in a culinary competition that featured as much smack-talk as food.
The contest pitted assistant principals Tim Jonasch and Steven Tagen against each other, with the school's cafeteria as the arena and students and administrators as judges. The event was the brainchild of Tim Mugan, the school's food service director, who was looking for a way to spice up the lunch hour.
"I knew this type of competition would get the kids excited," said Mugan, an employee of Whitsons Culinary Group. "Sometimes the school lunch program gets a bad rep and this was a way to bring the fun back into lunch."
The rules were simple. The assistant principals each came up with a meal idea and the cafeteria workers prepared them. The winner was chosen based on whichever assistant principal's meal had the most takers.
In one corner, it was Jonasch and his "Blazin' Asian Teriyaki Meatball Grinder," a chicken meatball-filled concoction slathered with pickled cucumber and carrot slaw with Sesame mayonnaise and a side of egg drop soup.
On the other side of the ring, or cafeteria, Tagen looked to capture the local market with his "Quiet Corner French Dip," a shave roast beef sandwich topped with coleslaw and onion rings dipped into beef au jus. His creation was accompanied by bowls of chicken vegetable noodle soup.
In the days prior to Tuesday's contest, both administrators taped up fliers and used the school's intercom to drum up support. Jonasch and Tagen also tapped into their inner poets in the lead-in to the lunch rush.
"My sandwich is ragin, my soup is like a comet," Tagen wrote. "You eat a Jonasch sandwich, then be ready to vomit."
Jonasch countered with his own rhymes.
"You say you have the better sandwich and you'll win most of the votes," Jonasch wrote. "But no one will like your food, not even billy goats."
As the lunch rush entered the cafeteria, Tagen and Jonasch each mounted an aggressive campaign, urging students into their lines with bullhorns and microphones.
"It's real good," said seventh-grader Rebecca Rauscher, who chose Tagen's creation. "The flavors blend together and it's mixed really well. I'm happy with my choice."
Sydney Nault, 12, went with "Mr. J's" sandwich.
"It looked good," she said. "Plus I felt bad, because his line was shorter."
Despite a last-minute bribe of meatballs handed out by Jonasch, Tagen took an early 56-36 lead after the first lunch shift, a lead he ultimately rode to the finish line.
Page 2 of 2 - "With victory does come a certain amount of liberation," Tagen said. "But really, it was all in good fun and the kids had a good time."

Haven for Hope, a local nonprofit service for the homeless, has seen a 44 percent increase in tenants living in its permanent housing since last year.
In fact, the program is at full capacity.
Some 73 people are living in that permanent housing, which are one-room units assigned to one individual.
Unlike Haven's overnight shelter, tenants must have a steady income to live in those rooms. Haven says the idea is to create a pattern of stability for the future.
While the housing program is referred to as "permanent," it is meant to be temporary, with the goal of getting residents into apartments and out on their own.
Currently, the program partners with the San Antonio Housing Authority to move tenants into Section 8 housing.
"People who were ready to move out into the community, but wanted access to a voucher for subsidized housing, were able to take advantage of this opportunity within Haven for Hope and then move into Section 8 housing," said Evita Mendiola, Haven's assistant vice president of community relations and external affairs.
But the partnership with SAHA ends Dec. 15. Haven says there is no way to predict how its permanent housing program will be affected once that voucher is no longer available.
But still, says Mendiola, the mission remains the same.
"We're trying to establish partnerships with apartment managers in our community so that we can integrate individuals who were once part of the San Antonio, Bexar County community back where they belong, back into their homes," said Mendiola.
Tenants living in Haven's permanent housing pay rent, which is based on their individual income. Haven says roughly 70 percent of its permanent residents who move out on their own retain a job for six months or more.
Participants in Haven's permanent housing program also receive assistance from the nonprofit for a year after they move out. That includes access to all of the services Haven offers, such as job training and counseling.
