Viña del Mar : Michelin's recommendations
In complete contrast to the more unkempt appearance of Valparaíso, a town which it adjoins to the south, Viña del Mar, the favoured resort of the Santiaguinos is both sleek and well-groomed, with attractively laid-out streets, beaches fringed with giant banana trees and extensive tree-lined parks. An international singing festival is held here every February.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Life of Galileo (German: Leben des Galilei), also known as Galileo, is a play by the twentieth-century German dramatist Bertolt Brecht with incidental music by Hanns Eisler.
The first version of the play was written between 1938 and 1939; the second (or 'American') version was written between 1945–1947, in collaboration with Charles Laughton. The play received its first theatrical production (in German) at the Zurich Schauspielhaus, opening on 9 September 1943. This production was directed by Leonard Steckel, with set-design by Teo Otto. The cast included Steckel himself (as Galileo), Karl Paryla and Wolfgang Langhoff.
The second version (in English) opened at the Coronet Theatre in Los Angeles on 30 July 1947.[1] It was directed by Joseph Losey and Brecht, with musical direction by Serge Hovey and set-design by Robert Davison. Laughton played Galileo, with Hugo Haas as Barberini and Frances Heflin as Virginia. This production opened at the Maxine Elliott's Theatre in New York on 7 December of the same year. A third production, by the Berliner Ensemble with Ernst Busch in the title role, opened in January 1957 at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm and was directed by Erich Engel, with set-design by Caspar Neher.[2] The play was first published in 1940.[citation needed]
A screen adaptation of the play, directed by Joseph Losey for American Film Theatre, was produced in 1975 under the title Galileo with Topol in the title role.
The plot of the play concerns the latter period of the life of Galileo Galilei, the great Italian natural philosopher, who was persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church for the promulgation of his scientific discoveries; for details, see Galileo affair. The play embraces such themes as the conflict between dogmatism and scientific evidence, as well as interrogating the values of constancy in the face of oppression.
After emigrating to the United States from Hitler's Germany (with stopovers in various other countries in between, among them the USSR), Brecht translated and re-worked the first version of his play in collaboration with the actor Charles Laughton.[3] The result of their efforts was the second 'American version' of the play, entitled simply Galileo, which to this day remains the most widely-staged version in the English-speaking world.[citation needed] The same version formed the basis for Losey's 1975 film adaptation as part of the American Film Theatre series.
In September 1947, Brecht was subpoenaed in the US by the House Un-American Activities Committee for alleged communist connections. He testified before HUAC on 30 October 1947, and flew to Europe on 31 October. He chose to return to East Germany and continued to work on the play, now once again in the German language. He felt that the optimistic portrait of the scientific project present in the first two versions required revision in a post-Hiroshima world, where science's irrational and harmful potential had become far more apparent.[4] The final German version premiered at Cologne in April 1955.[citation needed]
Matej Danter offers a readily-accessible and detailed comparison of the early, the American, and the final German versions.[5]
In 2013 the Royal Shakespeare Company premiered a new translation of A Life of Galileo by its Writer in Residence Mark Ravenhill in the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon.
Galileo is short of money. A prospective student tells Galileo about a novel invention, the telescope ("a queer tube thing"), being sold in Amsterdam. Galileo replicates it, but then sells it to the Venetian Republic as his own creation.
Galileo uses the telescope to substantiate Copernicus' heliocentric model of our solar system, which goes against both popular belief and church doctrine, and which he publishes in vernacular Italian, rather than traditional scientific Latin, so that it is accessible by the common people. His daughter's marriage to a well-off young man (with whom she is genuinely in love) fails because of Galileo's reluctance to distance himself from his unorthodox teachings.
Galileo is brought to the Vatican for interrogation. Upon being threatened with torture, he recants his teachings. His students are shocked by his surrender in the face of pressure from the church authorities.
Galileo, old and broken, living under house arrest, is visited by one of his former pupils, Andrea. Galileo gives him a book (Two New Sciences) containing all his scientific discoveries, asking him to smuggle it out of Italy for dissemination abroad. Andrea now believes Galileo's actions were heroic and that he just recanted to fool the ecclesiastical authorities. However, Galileo insists his actions had nothing to do with heroism but were merely the result of self-interest.
The play stays generally faithful to Galileo's science and timeline thereof, but takes significant liberties with his personal life. Galileo did in fact use a telescope, observe the moons of Jupiter, advocate for the heliocentric model, observe sun spots, investigate buoyancy, and write on physics, and did visit the Vatican twice to defend his work, the second time being made to recant his views, and being confined to house arrest thereafter.
One significant liberty that is taken is the treatment of Galileo's daughter Virginia Gamba (Sister Maria Celeste), who, rather than becoming engaged, was considered unmarriageable by her father and confined to a convent from the age of thirteen (the bulk of the play), and, further, died of dysentery shortly after her father's recantation. However, Galileo was close with Virginia, and they corresponded extensively.
There are a number of allusions to Galileo's science and to Marxism which are not further elaborated in the play; some of these are glossed below.
The discussion of price versus value was a major point of debate in 19th century economics, under the terms exchange value versus use value. Within Marxian economics this is discussed under the labor theory of value.
More subtly, Marx is sometimes interpreted as advocating technological determinism (technological progress determines social change), which is reflected in the telescope (a technological change) being the root of the scientific progress and hence social unrest.
The mention of tides refers to Galileo's theory that the motion of the earth caused the tides, which would give the desired physical proof of the Earth's movement, and which is discussed in his Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, whose working title was Dialogue on the Tides. In actuality Galileo was wrong. Kepler correctly believed that the moon's gravity caused the tides.
The bent wooden rail in scene 13 and the discussion that the quickest distance between two points need not be a straight line (though a straight line offers the shortest path, the fastest descent of a rolling ball in fact follows a curve) alludes to Galileo's investigation of the brachistochrone (in the context of the quickest descent from a point to a wall), which he incorrectly believed to be given by a quarter circle. Instead, the brachistochrone is a half cycloid, which was only proved much later with the development of calculus.

The circumstances surrounding Missouri Auditor Tom Schweich's (R) sudden death last week remained a mystery even as the state's political establishment prepared to pay its respects today to the man who was the GOP's leading gubernatorial candidate.
Right wing radio host would like to see members of the Congressional Black Caucus "hanging from a noose in front of the U.S. Capitol building" for skipping the Netanyahu speech.
There are now apparently 51 members of Congress not attending Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech tomorrow. Seven Senators and 44 members of the House. The latest is Sen. Al Franken (D). The list is heavily weighted toward African-Americans but also toward Jews. By my count, Franken is the 6th Jewish member of Congress to sit it out.
I want to take a moment to thank everyone who signed up for Prime in February - a total of 342 new subscribers. We have a goal of adding 4,000 new subscribers by July. Becoming a member of Prime is a critical part of our business model at TPM. But this year we're also increasing what members get.
Can Republicans really convince John Roberts they'll fix Obamacare if one of the GOP senators in charge of devising a fix is publicly calling it another step on the road to "socialism"?
We're about to see a mountain of writing and hoopla this week about Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit to the United States and speech before Congress. A guy on Twitter asked me if a comment I made was meant to be ironic. My thought was to tell him that irony simply doesn't have the muscle mass to handle what's coming down the pike this week. Only snark and absurdism can manage it. But with all this one of the most significant developments has gone all but unmentioned. We now have dramatic new evidence of Netanyahu's willingness to distort or simply falsify what his own intelligence agencies are telling him about the state of Iran's nuclear program when he speaks to the U.S. and the world.
Democrats just rescued House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) with the clock ticking down and averted a Homeland Security shutdown -- for a week.
Obama agrees to meet Netanyahu. Netanyahu agrees to use juice with House GOP to fund DHS.
The House is voting right now on a temporary funding bill for DHS that will avoid a shutdown tonight and extend this whole temper tantrum on immigration for another three weeks -- but the vote is surprisingly tight. The consensus was Boehner had enough votes to get this through without Democratic help. Democratic leadership was actively whipping against it. But Boehner may now need Democrats to get this through. It's very close. Stay tuned.
Late Update: It failed. Amazing, really. Not surprising with this clown show. But still amazing.
Leonard Nimoy died today. You've already heard this. We each have people that when we hear about their passing, it hits us with special force, because of a special mix of things unique to yourself and to that other person. For me, Nimoy is one of those people. As a fan from early boyhood, if you were a Trek fan and a Spock fan, if you got to know more about who Nimoy was, he was exactly who you would have wanted him to be. That is a very, very special thing.
He will be missed. A light has gone out.
Last weekend I noted that the Rudy Giuliani flare up had revealed some critical ways in which Scott Walker may simply not be ready for the big leagues of a national campaign. In brief, a series of entirely avoidable, unforced errors during a period in the campaign that lacks even a chunk of the intensity that a presidential candidate faces when the game really gets underway. None of those missteps in themselves will end up hurting Walker. But they point to shortcomings as a candidate that could sink him later. Now we have another example, just a week later.
There is an important piece published yesterday in the left-leaning pro-peace Israeli website +972. It goes to a central, underlying issue in the upcoming Israeli elections: the role of the Arab parties in Israeli politics and specifically their role - or lack of a role - in Israeli coalitions.
It's important to start with some basic background. And this will be a thumbnail history. So I'll leave out a lot of nuance and detail but hopefully leave no major errors. Israel's Arab minority has always had the vote. And there are minorities within the minority - particularly the Druze community - who play an outsized role in the country's politics and military relative to their numbers. But they're the exception. In the early years of Israel's history, many Israeli Arabs voted for different Zionist parties or Arab parties that had various forms of alignment with major Jewish parties. That has changed over the years - in part because the Arab minority has become more assertive in pressing for its rights within the country.
Aurin Squire has a fascinating piece up at The Slice today about his experience being gay, black, progressive, young...and celibate. By choice. He takes you through his journey from bedhopping in New York City; to a morning, 3 months into abstaining, when he woke up laughing with joy; to the moment when a Buddhist nun told him he might be taking it too far.
Check out the piece here, then join us at 2 pm for a livechat with Aurin and Josh.
We reported earlier that Missouri State Auditor Tom Schweich died today of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Schweich was considered a leading candidate to run for governor.
Now the editorial page editor of the St Louis Post-Dispatch, Tony Messenger, has come forward to say that in the days leading up to Schweich's suicide he had confided to Messenger that he was planning to reveal that the head of the state Republican party was leading a whispering campaign suggesting that Schweich was in fact a Jew.
The House GOP backed down big time tonight in this silly fight over whether to defund DHS as a protest of Obama's immigration moves. Sahil Kapur has the details on what is looking like a very toothless shutdown threat.
Scott Walker at CPAC: Islamic State? Pfft, I already took on union protestors.

Riot doesn't care about it at all. It's hardly shown in the spotlights anymore. Riot has said they won't make ranked soon because not enough people play Dom, even though I know a huge amount of people that don't play BECAUSE there is no ranked. And since Riot thinks people won't play it, they won't host tournaments for it, and it won't make them the money they want. We can all agree Riot is a lot more money driven than they used to be. It's the vicious circle. People don't play because there is no ranked. Riot doesn't make ranked because people don't play. And it makes me sad. I main dominion. I find it a lot more fun, and not being stuck for 40 minutes with either trolls, leavers or just baddies is much nicer to have 20. I think ranked would fix a lot of our problems. People testing new champs in Dom and not caring "because it's dom". People would actually learn HOW to play dom rather than just go kill crazy and lose games because they dont take objectives. More people would play. It wouldn't be seen as a joke.

Riot's actually done a fantastic job of supporting us, lately, and I'm excited for the prospects of the season 3 item overhaul and what it'll mean for Dom.
really do you need links to know that there after a year there isn't ranked dominion (meaning they do not care). They even claiming that they do not support it properly.
Some people don't play Dominion because there is no ranked. I know some people who stopped playing it when LoLmatches stopped tracking Elo, not in an act of defiance, but because seeing their progress is important to them. Anecdotal evidence, for sure, but these people do exist.
90% people I ask why they do not play dominion they tell me "not ranked".
Riot featured DominateDominion's stream and then re-featured it for the tourney. They do care and have shown it, but i think they are just waiting until season 3 to make sweeping changes to the game overall.

By James Slater: Fight fans everywhere have surely read all about boxing great Floyd Money Mayweathers recent out-of-the-ring troubles. The 33-year-old is accused of assaulting the mother of two of his children, his former girlfriend Josie Harris, and Mayweather Junior is also in hot water for allegedly threatening the two kids along with Harris, who he is said to have grabbed by the hair, hit and twisted her arm. Along with this, is the penalty the pound-for-pound king (or #2, depending on your opinion) may face for allegedly stealing cell phones belonging to Harris and his children. ESPN.com is reporting that Mayweather faces 8 charges in all, and that if he is convicted of all charges, he could face up to a whopping 34 years behind bars! Currently free on bail, Mayweather faces a November 9th date for an arraignment. The question is, what will happen if the megastar gets convicted and goes to prison? Speaking purely from a boxing standpoint, where would that leave Mayweather and his fans? Still at or about his physical peak, with plenty of great performances left to offer, it will be a real shame if Mayweather has boxed his final fight. Currently 41-0(25), Mayweather has proved his greatness, but there is still unfinished business for him in the ring. We all know the whole world wants to see him get it on with Manny Pacquiao - the man Money verbally assaulted in his now infamous home video a few days back (later apologizing for his racial taunts) - but that fight will possibly disappear if Mayweather is sentenced to any serious jail time. Of course, Mayweather wouldnt be the first megastar boxer to be sent to prison while at the peak of his powers; the name Mike Tyson obviously springs to mind. Tyson, who served three years for a rape charge, came out of jail and regained two of the three heavyweight titles and proved he was an even bigger draw than he had been before jail. Maybe this will be the case with Mayweather. It all depends on how long Floyd goes away to the big house for, if at all. Not having fought since his dominant points win over Sugar Shane Mosley in May of this year, Mayweather has seen his life take a savage and unexpected turn in the months that have followed that 41st pro win. If Mayweather does go to jail, there will no doubt be many people who will say it was always destined to end up like this for the controversial, sometimes crass-acting boxing legend. As the saying goes, you can take the man out of the ghetto, but you cannot take the ghetto out of the man!

SHREVEPORT — Update: 60 feet is a long way to fall, but that's exactly what happened to Robin Lyons of Shreveport early Wednesday morning.
21 year old Lyons, was leaving Boomtown Casino in Bossier City, when she drove her vehicle off the roof of the parking garage, crashing about 60 feel below.
When Bossier City Police and Fire Department arrived, they found Lyons trapped, upside down in her Chevrolet Caprice. They were able to use the jaws of life to pry her out of the car.
Lyons was alive when she was taken to LSU Medical Center with life threatening injuries, but died later in the day.
Police don't know what caused Lyons to crash. They speculate that it doesn't seem like a suicide since Lyons was wearing her seat belt. They think alcohol may have been a factor, and toxicology tests may need to be done.
With the help of Boomtown surveillance video, police were able to see that Lyons appeared to be a patron of the casino and was there alone.
Original Story: A woman who's vehicle drove off the top deck of a Shreveport parking garage has died.
The woman, 21 year old Robin Alexander Lyons, died from her injuries Wednesday afternoon.
The accident happened just before 3:00 am at the Boomtown Casino/Hotel parking garage in the 300 block of Riverside Drive.
Her vehicle, a late model Chevy Caprice, crashed through a barrier of steel cables and fell approximately 60 ft. onto the garage's concrete exit ramp.
The vehicle landed on its roof, pinning Lyons inside.
Bossier City emergency officials used the jaws of life to remove her from the wreckage.
She was taken to a local hospital, where she later died.
Police say that alcohol may have been a factor in the crash, and that Lyons was wearing a seat belt.
No one else was injured in the accident.
The incident is under investigation.

25 pairs - 5 lb. increments
5-125 lb. Super Heavy Ivanko Solid Steel Urethane Dumbbell Set - This 5-125 lb. Ivanko super heavy dumbbell set includes 25 pairs from 5 pounds to 125 pounds in 5 pound increments and is a suitable weight range for men, women and serious weightlifters to perform dumbbell workouts targeting all major muscle groups of the body. The heavier the dumbbell the more potentially damaging impact it has to absorb when dropped. Unless a heavy dumbbell weighing as much as 125 pounds is structurally strong enough to withstand this impact, they can loosen or even break. American Made Solid Steel Dumbbells by Ivanko are mechanically fastened together making for a totally maintenance free structure that keeps the heads and handles permanently bonded forever no matter how heavy they are. Their permanently bonded design combined with the thickest urethane in the industry makes them a solid investment and reliable choice for clubs and military bases or any other facility where environments are harsh and only the most heavy-duty dumbbells will do.
USA Made Urethane Encased Solid Steel Heads - Solid steel dumbbell heads are encased in polyurethane to protect the dumbbell, gym floors and surrounding equipment from potential damage caused by repetitive dropping. Ivanko's USA Made urethane formulation resists abrasions and scratches and will not split, crack or peel like other coatings, such as rubber. Each weight marking is permanently engraved into the dumbbell so it will never fade or wear off. Urethane coating comes in a beautiful matte finish.
USA Made Solid Steel Dumbbell Handles - 1045 high carbon solid steel handles come in a 29mm thickness for sizes 5-15 lbs. and a 35mm for sizes 20 to 150 lbs. Military-grade hard chrome finish is 75% the harness of a diamond which creates an indestructible barrier between the elements and the raw steel of the handle preventing corrosion. A stainless steel dumbbell handle option is also available for an upcharge.
Purchasing a 5-125 lb. Urethane Dumbbell Set on GSA and CMAS contract - Ivanko solid steel urethane dumbbells are currently available on Ironcompany.com GSA contract GS-07F-0104M and CMAS contract 4-12-78-0066A.

I use Origin and I have no major complaints. I use Steam for the most part and love it but UPlay immediately turns me off. I actually buy certain games on console as a result of UPlay (most recently Rayman Legends). Anyone else feel this way? --- --- Steam: LogicalOne / PSN: TheCoolBreeze / XBL: ZenTheShogun | |
Never heard of it, so I don't know how to vote. --- My movie room: http://imgur.com/a/IjWr1 My pets: http://imgur.com/a/P9VGU | |

Nope. Never seen it crash and TBH rarely see it at all since the only three games I have that use it are FC3, Blood Dragon and Prince of Persia. --- Bled dry from the inside, darkest of weather I'll be your mirror we can shatter together | |
Not a deal breaker. Honestly the only issues I've had with it are activating the DLC for SC:Blacklist (Had to do it in-game, even though Uplay has an "activate DLC" button), and that it likes to bug out with Steam and not track playtime/allow the Steam overlay. --- PC: http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn233/cody4783/cody4783.jpg | |
No, but I get them on Steam. I like having games tied to my Steam account, so I'll pass up deals on the Uplay-only versions sometimes because I plan to get them on Steam. --- Steam: Sydite | |
I'd do the opposite because the idea of chainloading launchers is grating. --- Bled dry from the inside, darkest of weather I'll be your mirror we can shatter together | |
Orestes417 posted... I'd do the opposite because the idea of chainloading launchers is grating. Yeah I can see some people hating that but I don't mind. I like that I can have one main library in steam and not have to look at different platforms to see all my games. I also just see Uplay as an achievement/unlockable platform rather than a launcher. Running a Uplay game via steam requires no further input aside from clicking play in steam. Takes a few seconds but it launches automatically so its hardly a bother. I suppose you need to exit the launcher after playing but its only 1 button on controller or via mouse. I'm indifferent. I'd rather it not exist but it doesn't get in my way enough for me to cry. --- 2500k @ 4.4 | P8Z68-V Pro | H80 | 8GB RAM | 770 + 670 physx | 256 SSD | 8TB HDD | Win 8.1 64bit | ax1200w | CM690II Steam: DV8ing1 | |
It's pretty much a dealbreaker. I don't know why Ubisoft is intent on forcing it, the last thing we need is MORE clients. --- Remember to hug you're waifu. | |
Literally worse than GFWL imo. The last game I tried to play on uplay was blacklist, and after chain patching, (and launching once, then patching 3 more times) it bugged on the launcher and won't run. I checked the tech support forums and plenty of people had the issue, no fix in sight. Apparently the steam version (that launches from uplay anyway) has no such issues. Before blacklist I had uplay eat my saves on farcry, and on blood dragon the service went down one weekend and it took me like 45 seconds to load every time I wanted to use the main menu because it tries to load uplay stats or whatever. Uplay is the absolute worst. --- Irony is a maginot line drawn by the already condemned |

Volumetrics: The Biggest Secret in Weight Loss
Shed Pounds With Consumer Reports' Winning Diet

The South Beach Diet. The Zone Diet. The Atkins Diet. They've become household names. But what's in a name? Not much when you consider the fact that
Consumer Reports
recently gave its much-coveted best diet award to a virtual unknown – The Volumetrics Eating Plan.
called it "the most popular diet you've never heard of." In this exclusive, LifeScript chats with the founder of Volumetrics and gets the facts about how the diet works…
There's a good chance the name Volumetrics won't ring a bell with you. That's because the silent giant of weight-loss programs isn't as sexy as its competitors. It doesn't pledge quick fixes, fast weight loss or any other miracles. However, that doesn't make this common-sense solution to losing weight any less effective.
According to
Consumer Reports
Senior Project Editor Nancy Metcalf, before crowning the top-rated diet, she and her colleagues looked at clinical trials done on many different diets and published in peer-reviewed medical journals. They analyzed how people lost weight in the short term (six months) and the long term (12 months). They also examined how many people dropped out of the study as a measure of how tolerable the diet is.
"The second part was a nutritional analysis," Metcalf tells LifeScript. "We analyzed an entire week's worth of menus, every morsel of food they said to eat and compared it to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, which is the best consensus of what a healthy diet looks like. By both measures, Volumetrics came out the best."
Runners-up included such Goliaths of the diet industry as Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and Slim-Fast.
And the Winner Is…
The Volumetrics Eating Plan
, designed by nutrition guru Dr. Barbara Rolls and recently released in paperback (Harper, 2007), is simpler than it sounds. Rolls, a professor of nutrition and biobehavioral health at Pennsylvania State University, approaches weight loss with a plan rich in low-calorie (also known as low-energy-dense) foods, which allows followers to feel more satisfied on fewer calories. (See related story:
20 Easy Ways to Cut 100 Calories
There's no deprivation. You fill up on high-fiber, low-calorie foods such as fruits, vegetables and broth-based soups while still enjoying smaller portions of the foods you love. In addition to managing hunger and weight, you'll feel fuller longer.
"It isn't a gimmick," Rolls tells LifeScript. "It's based on sound nutrition and science. That's the top selling point as to why it was picked by
Consumer Reports
. It's simple, and it's appealing. The food is good, and we're not asking people to eat smaller portions. We're simply focusing on what people
eat rather than what they
"When you put restrictions on people, it makes them want it all the more. As soon as you tell someone they can't have something, that's what they want," she says.
How Low Can You Go?
Although it sounds scientific, energy density – the heart of the Volumetrics Eating Plan – simply refers to the number of calories in certain weights of food. The lower the number, the better. A head of lettuce, for example, weighs much more than a bite-sized candy bar, but packs far fewer calories.
The average person's diet is full of high-energy-dense foods like potato chips, granola bars, doughnuts, and other processed foods. Switch to very low-energy-dense foods such as vegetable soup, fat-free yogurt, green beans, and milk, and you'll be amazed at how easily you're able to shed those extra pounds.
Rolls breaks foods down into four categories:
1. Very Low-Energy-Dense Foods (0-0.6 calories per gram)
2. Low-Energy-Dense Foods (0.6-1.5 calories per gram)
3. Medium-Energy-Dense Foods (1.5-4.0 calories per gram)
4. High-Energy-Dense Foods (4.0-9.0 calories per gram).
On Rolls' plan, the majority of your diet comes from Very Low- and Low-Energy-Dense Foods. (See related story:
Low-Calorie Foods Spur Healthy Weight Loss
Some examples of energy density values:
Very Low-Energy-Dense Foods
Chicken broth – 0.16
Strawberries – 0.30
Blueberries – 0.53
Apples – 0.58
Low-Energy-Dense Foods
Instant oatmeal with water – 0.62
Sweet potato, baked – 1.0
Bran flakes with 1% milk – 1.1
Pasta, cooked – 1.4
Medium-Energy-Dense Foods
Egg, hardboiled – 1.6
Ice cream, premium – 2.5
Bagel, plain – 2.8
Potato chips, baked – 3.9
High-Energy-Dense Foods
Onion rings, battered and fried – 4.1
Granola bar – 4.2
Peanut butter, reduced-fat – 5.3
Butter – 7.2
To calculate the energy density of a food, read the nutrition label and divide the number of calories by the number of grams. Or consult
The Volumetrics Eating Plan
's energy-density chart.
And remember these rules of thumb: If the calories are fewer than the grams, eat as much as you'd like. For foods that have the same or up to twice as many calories as grams, watch your portion size. And if
the number of calories is more than twice the number of grams, put it back.
Pump Up the Volume
Low-energy-dense foods have high water content. That's because water adds weight and volume to foods without tacking on excess calories, and the water in these foods makes you feel fuller. Forget comparing apples to oranges. Instead, compare grapes to raisins. For 100 calories, you can either consume 1/4 cup of raisins or almost two cups of grapes.
In another example, Rolls compares two lunch menus, both of which total 450 calories:
Menu 1: half a hamburger, a few fries and a soda.
Menu 2: an open-face roast beef sandwich, a bowl of tomato soup, a cup of four-fruit compote, and a glass of sparkling water.
As you can see, for the same number of calories, you can enjoy a much larger meal in Menu 2. Since this spread is made up of low-energy-dense foods, it's going to leave you feeling far more satisfied than the high-energy-dense foods of Menu 1.
Proof in the Pudding
Rolls' recommendations are based on the same dietary guidelines that major health organizations use. She's simply telling readers how to follow sound nutritional advice while managing their weight.
Recently Rolls completed a year-long clinical trial of the Volumetrics Eating Plan, and the results corroborated its effectiveness. Dieters were divided into two groups – one group followed a reduced-fat diet, while the second group adhered to a reduced-fat diet that was high in water-rich foods. When the trial ended, both groups had dropped significant amounts of weight.
However, after the first six months, the women who had added the water-rich foods to their diet had lost 19.6 pounds on average, compared to the other group who'd shed only 14.7 pounds.
Common Sense and Clinical Proof
Consumer Reports'
Metcalf says she wasn't shocked by the magazine's findings. In fact, she says it's hard to believe that such a common-sense approach to weight loss had gone undiscovered for so long.
"I'd been following Barbara Rolls' research for a long time," Metcalf says. "I was interested to see how the diet did when tested in clinical trials. I wasn't hugely surprised because it's based on some sound ways of thinking."
Any drawbacks? "I think it requires some amount of discipline to stick to," Metcalf concedes. "You have to be prepared to do a lot of cooking. For somebody who's not comfortable around the kitchen, it might be challenging. People really need to think about their own eating patterns when they pick a diet out for themselves."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Buhler Furniture transforms itself from curio cabinet-maker to commercial casegoods supplier
Buhler Furniture is a dominant name in the curio cabinet marketplace in North America.
About 15 years ago, those handsome glassed-in cabinets your grandmother kept her Royal Doulton figurines in represented about 80 per cent of Buhler Furniture's business.
But who buys curio cabinets anymore?
A large market share in a product that no longer holds a prominent place in family sitting rooms is not worth that much.
That -- and the overwhelming flood of much cheaper offshore residential furniture -- compelled Buhler Furniture to use its manufacturing infrastructure to reinvent itself.
Now, curio cabinets represent about five per cent of the company's sales.
Instead, as much as 50 per cent comes from casegoods work -- beds, sideboards, tables -- for hotels and other commercial customers. And 100 per cent of it is made in Buhler Furniture's Winnipeg shop.
"It was not my grand scheme seven years ago to sell to the hotel business," said Doug Buhler, who acquired the company about 15 years ago from Buhler Industries, the public company named after and formerly controlled by his father Johnny.
"It's just that they are more demanding about what they buy," he said. "If they buy 150 rooms of stuff and it starts to fall apart in the first four months then they've made a bad deal."
His company is one of a handful of casegoods suppliers to Delta Hotels in Canada. It's currently in the process of making sets for all 393 rooms for the Delta's Winnipeg hotel, which is in the process of a top-to-bottom renovation.
Terry Clark, the owner of Acme Chrome Furniture and a spokesman for Furniture West, a regional industry association, said, "It's a real feather in their cap. Not everyone gets to supply Delta. You have to achieve compliance and it's a pretty rigorous test."
Buhler is one of a small number of North American wood-furniture manufacturers that does not out-source offshore. Wood from rubber trees grown on a plantation in seven years is no match for the durability of 80-year-old hardwood trees from upstate New York, according to Buhler.
At some point the much lower price point is not worth it.
Buhler got into the bedroom furniture business about seven years ago and the emphasis on the commercial rather than retail followed quickly.
"That's because the residential (retail) business is going to the Chinese," Buhler said, referring to the preponderance of retail casegoods now made in low-cost offshore locales.
"We used to sell in Sears, the Brick, Leon's, the Bay -- all the major retailers in Canada," he said. "But when people realized, 'Holy smokes, I can buy three Chinese bedroom sets for one domestic one,' -- and unfortunately I am not exaggerating -- how do I change that? I can't."
But there are customers out there, such as Delta Hotels, who want domestic suppliers providing domestic product.
Helen Halliday, the general manager of the Winnipeg Delta, does not make the call on suppliers, but she said she was thrilled Buhler got the contract for her hotel.
"There's a green element to this (because product does not have to be shipped from overseas) and it means keeping Winnipeggers working," she said. "We're delighted."
Buhler was not planning to get into the commercial business. In fact, it took some very persistent badgering from an oilsands camp near Fort McMurray, which eventually said it was willing to pay Buhler a price he couldn't refuse.
While consumers may not want to invest for the future, commercial customers such as large-scale, remote resource companies, hotels and U.S. military bases -- surprisingly, one of Buhler Furniture's top 10 customers -- are willing to pay for sturdy product that can last at least eight years.
Even so, it's a tough market. Hotel construction has been a booming business lately in Winnipeg and, coincidentally, there have been several developments in close proximity to Buhler Furniture's plant. Buhler bid on all those developments, unsuccessfully.
"There is Hampton Hotel that went up 50 feet from our building," Buhler said. "We could have literally wheeled the furniture across the parking lot. But their furniture came from China."
The reinvention of his company is taking hold at a cost. The company has a staff of close to 100 -- much less than it had 10 years ago.
Some say there is the start of a renaissance in the North American furniture market for domestic product and Buhler Furniture is a case in point there are customers to be had.
But it's still a struggle.
"People also say the record player is making a comeback as well," Buhler said. "But is it really? Maybe some audiophiles will search them out. But how do you replace a needle? Do you pay $700 for a custom-made needle?"

An item in The Hollywood Reporter reveals than an unnamed cast member of Community has leaked a memo from Sony Pictures Television that instructs the cast how to talk about fired showrunner Dan Harmon. Putting aside shocking disloyalty of the leak—whatever happened to respect for one's benevolent corporate overlords?—it makes for pretty compelling reading. The highlights begin with the semi-Orwellian title: "Community Message Points"—and carry on through the tone of the piece, which is written as if speaking to a bright-but-troubled child with phrases like "I wanted to forward some messaging we hope our cast will.

Talking Points -- Don't just remember but really feel Memorial Day
It's Memorial Day weekend, and we have been encouraged on Monday to remember those who served this country.
But just how do we do that? Is thinking about a father, a mother, son or daughter really enough to truly honor them and what they were part of?

Ah, drop sets. I knew there was a name for those, lol. Thanks dude.
If I tried to come up with the worst possible workout routine I still don't think I could top that. You could do a lifetime of that and still not make any significant gains in LBM and...
Hahahahahaha, that is funny as hell.
Dips feel very natural for me. If they hurt I wouldn't do them. Maybe all those people with shoulder injuries weren't using good form and a controlled movement?
Eat everything in sight and build your routine around compound lifts such as deadlift, squat, bench press, rows, etc. The whey protein is good, I wouldn't bother with the N.O. There's a lot of good...
A kick to the balls is pretty effective and won't land you in jail or civil court.

Thanks for the advice joseph. Trying to keep with a 5 x 5 rep range for the most part. I don't work out with a spotter so there are times when I have to be careful of how heavy I go.
I eat Kashi Go Lean for breakfast and before bed every day. Awesome stuff.
I've got a similar body type. Started out at 153lbs back in Nov 2005. Joined here in Feb 06 and decided to bulk, and of course made squat and deadlift staples of my routine. I'm at 183lbs now and...

It's a dream come true for Jerry Jones.
The owner of the Cowboys builds the biggest and best stadium in the country.
That stadium hosts a Super Bowl.
And the Cowboys win it.
The first part of that dream has come true. Cowboys Stadium with its Texas-sized video board is the talk of the nation.
The second part is coming true. North Texas is hosting its first Super Bowl.
But winning a Super Bowl at home?
Check back with me in February.
No team has ever done that, but then, no owner has done what JJ has done.
Love him or hate him he gets results.
You could fill several books ripping Jones for his methods. Who else would fire a coach after winning back-to-back Super Bowls?
Jerry did that to Jimmy Johnson in the early '90s.
Jerry and Barry Switzer managed to win one more, but since then, times have been tough in Cowboy country.
Last season, the 'Boys finally managed to win their first playoff game this millineum.
Wade Phillips won his first-ever post-season game. Same for Tony Romo.
There's a feeling that the best is yet to come.
After all, the Cowboys are loaded for 2010. They are without question one of the favorites to get to the Super Bowl.
But favorites don't always come through.
No one picked the Saints to win it all last season.
Things can happen.
I see a problem for the Cowboys.
An injury problem.
Injuries are impossible to predict, but I do know this.
The Cowboys went through last season almost injury-free.
That rarely happens in the NFL and I've never seen it happen two years straight.
Injuries catch up with everyone, Cowboys included.
What will they do if Romo misses a few games?
They'll lose.
Then, the soap opera will start.
The finger pointing will be magnified by a media that can't get enough of the Cowboys and controversy.
Terrell Owens tore this locker room apart a few years ago and losing the expectations game can do the same.
Are the Cowboys tough enough to beat the tough times?
Can they hang together if things start to fall apart?
They showed me a lot last December.
They overcame their annual late-season fade to finish strong.
They showed themselves they can do it.
This season, the Cowboys will show us all if they can have a dream season.

Why I Called Off My Wedding
But I also lived life in a way that felt like it was for the first time. I hadn't been with any other men, as my ex was my college sweetheart, so I reveled in the opportunity to make out with random boys in random bars for the first time. Let me tell you: This is everything it's cracked up to be, if you're doing it at the right moment for you. It was so totally the right moment for me. I became a karaoke aficionado during my late nights out with new friends, leading me to start a band. I had extra time and ambition to burn now, so I launched a feminist website with a friend. I got an agent and wrote a book. I dyed my hair from highlighted brown to pure black. I saved up enough money to get the best apartment I've ever had, in Brooklyn, all by myself, and furnished it with items I'd bought on my own.
If you haven't yet recognized what I was doing, it's known by a number of clichés: Finding yourself. Figuring out who you really are. Going through adolescence, even, despite the fact that I was 30.
I am here to tell you that canceling your wedding can be the best thing that ever happens to you. I am also here to help you through it with a few practical tips for making what can seem like the hardest decision you've ever made. Here, some step-by-step instructions:
1. Stop freaking out and try to really, truly observe your relationship for just one week. Notice everything you feel in your body, heart, and soul. For me personally, body works best here—mine usually tells me a lot, then screams at me if I'm not listening. In this case, it sent me multiple rounds of panic attacks, some of which actually landed me in the emergency room, before I took heed. You can avoid an ER visit by staying vigilant: When you're truly honest with yourself, what are you feeling, and why? If you can't breathe, can't eat, can't move your head without a neck spasm, and there's no good reason for such physical distress, check your gut to see if it tells you this is more than cold feet. But you're only allowed to do this for a week; don't use the "I'm observing" excuse to put off a decision for too long. Beat The Engagement Blues!
2. If you're sure you have doubts, talk to your fiancé about them. You must do this before anything else, if only for the sake of manners, common decency, etc. Also, you should see how he's feeling and if there's a sense that you guys can work things out.
3. If you've done your due diligence with your partner, call the wedding service providers just to ask what their cancellation policies are. This will undoubtedly make you feel better. For some reason, killing the cake order can often seem scarier than telling your fiancé you aren't feeling the "forever" vibe. Or at least it's easy to convince yourself that's what you're thinking in the confusion of this massive decision. Tell yourself for now that you're just asking. This way you'll find out how un-scary this part of the process can be. I was shocked when I finally called the caterer and the bakery and got all our money back. The only cash we ultimately lost was a $1,000 deposit on the venue and $500 in dress money. That's a small price for avoiding divorce.

One of Gustav Klimt's most celebrated paintings (sold to Ronald Lauder for a record million in 2006 and now in the Neue Galerie in New York City, encapsulates a fascinating, complicated cultural history of fin-de-siècle Vienna, its Jewish intelligentsia, and their near complete destruction by the Nazis. Washington Post journalist O'Connor traces the multifaceted history of Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer (1907) in this intriguing, energetically composed, but overly episodic study of Klimt, Adele Bloch-Bauer, and her niece, Maria Bloch-Bauer who reclaimed five Klimt paintings stolen by the Nazis and was extensively interviewed by O'Connor. According to Maria, Adele was "a modern woman, living in the world of yesterday." The book's first and strongest section vividly evokes the intellectually precocious and ambitious Adele's rich cultural and social milieu in Vienna, and how she became entwined with the charismatic, sexually charged, and irreverent Klimt, who may have been Adele's lover before and also during her marriage. During WWII, Adele's portrait was renamed by the Nazis as the Dame in Gold to erase her Jewish identity. O'Connor's final arguments about the tragic yet redemptive symbolism of Adele's portrait are poignant and convincing: while it represents the failure of the dream of Jews like Adele to assimilate, through the painting she achieves "her dream of immortality." 54 photos. Agent: Steve Wasserman, Kneerim and Williams. (Feb.)
A portrait of Klimt and his Jewish muse
Vienna circa 1900 was a virtual paradise for artists, intellectuals and those who enjoyed their company. It was during this cultural golden age that the painter Gustav Klimt, having pulled himself up from poverty and into fame as a "workaholic artist and serial philanderer," created his best-known works. Among them was a portrait, three years in the making, of Adele Bloch-Bauer, born in Vienna but of Jewish descent. She was The Lady in Gold.
Anne-Marie O'Connor's book traces the history of the famous painting as well as those whose lives it intersected. The title alone tells part of the story: When the Nazis stole the painting during the war, leaving Bloch-Bauer's name attached to it would have meant acknowledging that the painting's subject was Jewish; far simpler then to reduce her to "the lady in gold." Thus "Adele's identity disappeared with a simple stroke of the pen." Sixty years after its theft, the painting became the subject of lengthy litigation between Bloch-Bauer's surviving family members and the Austrian government, a case that improbably ended up before the U.S. Supreme Court. The painting was ultimately returned to the heirs and sold at auction for a record sum. It's currently on display in a New York gallery, but O'Connor's focus is more on the journey than its end point.
The biographical sketches of Klimt, Bloch-Bauer and their families and community are richly drawn. While any book following the plight of Jews in Vienna at the time of the Holocaust will of course be full of sorrows, there are bright spots and humor as well. Having the paintings returned brings nobody back to life, but they do testify to a time when the Jewish elite were not just accepted but celebrated in Vienna. Klimt, derided by critics for "objectifying" women, found them to be his greatest champions for acknowledging and portraying female sexuality. It's widely known that he carried on affairs with his models, and the historical assumption is that Adele Bloch-Bauer was no exception, but there is no proof to be found. One of Klimt's grandsons was asked about it and, acknowledging there's no way to tell, nevertheless added, "I'm certain he tried."
Part history and part mystery, The Lady in Gold is a striking tale.

We'll Need To Be At Our Best - Robins
City Boss On Tranmere Visit
Coventry City manager Mark Robins feels that the Sky Blues will need to be at their best to beat Tranmere Rovers tonight.
Speaking to club journalist Kieran Crowley, the City boss said about the visit of the League leaders to the Ricoh Arena: "We are playing some really good football and we need to top that off to win the games. That is what the players need to do against Tranmere.
"We need to be at our best to get a result and I think the side who wants the result the most, will win the match. "There are plenty of players knocking on the door to get into the side and that can only raise the performance levels of the starting XI. "Conor Thomas, Callum Wilson and David Bell are all pushing so the players have to work hard to keep the shirt."

South Florida Food and Drink Events This Week: Dating Games, Bingo, and More
Around and around we go; today is the start to yet another lovely workweek. Hopefully, you have a bit of a spring in your step from some indulgent weekend activities. If not, don't fret, there's still plenty of events to keep you busy through your working days. Whether you're looking to drink some wine, witness some dating games, or drink some more wine -- obviously -- there's something to do in Broward and Palm Beach Counties this week.Willia4 via Flickr Creative Commons
Customer Appreciation Dinner
Halloween is over, which means that the time to capitalize on the rest of the holidays is here. To get customers in the holiday spending spirit, Whole Foods Market is hosting an appreciation dinner on Monday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. For a $5 donation, which will benefit the Palm Beach County Food Bank, the store is treating guests to a holiday food and wine tasting, including dishes like assorted stuffed bries; poached salmon; holiday ham; roasted turkey and gravy; sweet potato pie; and more. Obviously, no holiday celebration is complete without the obligatory seasonal music; live musicians will be on-site.
Whole Foods Market is located at 2635 State Road 7 in Wellington. Call 561-904-4000, or visit wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/wellington.
Art + Farm Wine Dinner
Food is great on its own; same with wine. Together, however, a well paired combination is like a party in your mouth. On Monday at 6:30 p.m., executive chef Steven Zobel and winemaker Rob McDonald are creating an oral celebration with the Art + Farm wine dinner at d.b.a./ cafe. The cost to attend is $60 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Reservations required. Visit eventbrite for tickets, artfarmdbacafe-zvents.eventbrite.com/.
d.b.a./ cafe is located at 2364 N. Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale. Call 954-565-3392, or visit dba2z.com.
