Like Cannot be set as default reader for Google drive. Always button disappears from pdf's when installed. Not a problem with 3 other PDF readers I have tested. No way to disable annotation toolbar, I will never use it on some devices.
qpdf viewer finally, a PDF viewer I can read. Like the reflow. Puts the whole page width on the screen with a fontsize of my choosing. Reformats so I don`t have to scroll left and right. Would give it more than 5 stars if it would scroll up/down with the scroll wheel of a usb mouse. This is my first tablet. Not liking touch screens much.
This is it - I know what your looking for - you're welcome ;) I've tried them all. I've dropped ~30$ on "pro" readers just looking for a break. I wish I found this sooner. It is SMOOTH. It is smart, the interface is never in your way. It can reflow text. It can open files in drop box - so u can skip opening drop box app first! YOU control how much it compresses images! Pro version can highlight and fill out forms. My wow sh** thank you for this app. Missing a few features like control reflow.
Even better than the paid PDF Max It's excellent. Just does what it should do. The only (minor) problem is the action bar: you should hide it when user is reading, as it is distracting a bit even on tablets.
YET ANOTHER CRAPP I don't get it. Like most Android developers, this one thinks he/she knows the way things should be done but has obviously never looked at good apps or researched useability or even asked and listened to others' opinions. You know, users compare products. Perhaps this dev, like so many others, should do the same. Yes, I get angry at willful mediocrity.
Beautiful and functional file browsing, but PDF display is subpar This app looks beautiful when you're browsing your files, but then you open any of them and get your file poorly displayed, with its edges cut off. The scrolling system isn't only badly programmed: it's badly designed, and handles in a clunky and confusing way. Not to mention the random crashes while changing from Dropbox to local files or vice-versa... This is a shame, because this app seems to have so much potential!

The Space
Come stay at my Napa Valley "Heavenly Retreat"! It's beautiful all year round in the Napa Valley with wineries pouring their fabulous offerings
The warm weather makes it perfect to tour and taste with my local (optional) seasoned tour guide/driver. and then return home to relax and swim (April - November) in this serene, very private backyard garden with pool (and propane heaters at night) listening to birds singing, tree toads croaking, sipping wine and cheese while looking out on a view to a private vineyard. Or wake up to hot air balloons floating down valley while having your morning coffee/breakfast. It's a wonderful way to start the new day!
This bright and airy home with it's high ceilings is filled with light and is a perfect couples weekend (or weekday!) getaway destination to relax and enjoy winery touring, soaking in the Calistoga warm mineral pools, visiting museums (Hess Collection and numerous galleries), Oxbow Market, concerts, NV Opera house or partaking a decadent meal at one of Napa's remarkable restaurants (Tra Vigne, Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, Bottega, French Laundry, Bouchon, Ad hoc, Don Giovanni, Bistro Jeanty, Fish Story, Morimotos, etc).
Get a good night's rest in your very private guest room in the ample king-sized bed with high thread count Egyptian cotton linens, and a silk down comforter. Enjoy your private ensuite bathroom and wrap yourself in luxurious towels after a 'couples' shower. Your bedroom has cable TV, a docking station for your IPOD, and you can always access high speed WiFi . Possibility of renting the extra queen (open loft) suite with balcony and chairs overlooking the vineyard if you have another couple that wants to stay. The second couple (your friends) will be charged only $135 per night. You will need to share the one bathroom. (And no, I will never rent the loft to someone you don't know at the same time you are staying in the luxury guest suite.) And yes......wine and appetizers will be waiting for you when you arrive (as will my adorable and loving Akita therapy dog --- Kody!)
So, hit the 'book it' button and experience Napa Valley as you should and as the sign says in the guest room : "...and they all lived happily ever after".
No smoking please.
Please be respectful of neighbors with noise after 10pm
Please squeegee the shower door when you are finished taking a shower
This was my second airbnb experience. My first time a few years back I rented out an apartment for just me and my friend, so when I learned this time around the host would be there while me and my girlfriend were there, I was a little skeptical. Judith, however, was truly amazing! As the many other reviews state, she loves to be a hostess.
Our guest room was beautiful and cozy, exactly what you would imagine a B&B to look and feel like. The bed was SUPER comfy that my girlfriend and I slept for almost 12 hours one night. The bathroom was great with stocked great bath products and a heated toilet seat, it has ruined normal toilets for me for life!
Her animals, Kodiak, Star, and Moon are all so sweet. They are so well behaved you do not even notice they are there, but love to receive love if you want to give it to them. I love animals, so I loved those little guys.
Judith's home was located in the heart of Napa Valley. She is a quick 5-10 minutes to downtown and we never drove more than 20-25 mins to any of the wineries, even the ones located in Yountville, St. Helena, or Calistoga. She had great recommendations for restaurants and wineries.
If you are going to Napa and need a place to stay, look no further! Thanks again Judith for your amazing hospitality!
After reading the many positive reviews of 'Kodiak's' lovely getaway, we were pretty sure to find something special. And we did! Judith (and Kodi) welcomed us warmly and we instantly felt at home. It didn't hurt that our arrival coincided with 'wine time' (think 'happy hour' without the crazies at the local bar!). Add in some new friends, easy conversation, and a Giants victory...we were pretty much set!
Located in a very quiet upscale neighborhood, the guest room is right off the foyer, making our comings and goings easy for everyone. A large and comfortable bed, great shower, and, yes...a heated toilet seat...we had everything we needed.
Kodiak, our co-host, is a very friendly and lovable Akita. With his size, it's hard to imagine not noticing him...but he's just a big sweetie and is happy to be your bud if that's what you want. If not...he's cool with that, too. Same with Sun and Moon...the house cats.
Judith thinks of everything you might want, from solid restaurant recommendations to quality bath products. She obviously enjoys being a hostess and it shows. And she's got some great stories to boot!
We'll certainly look forward to returning to Judith and Kodi's place when we need to restock the Napa wine inventory. Thanks for making our first AirBnB experience a wonderful one!
Our stay was great. The host was very accommodating, as were her pets. The house is ideal for a small group, and the pool in the back makes for a great way to end the day. It's not in the busy / touristy part of Napa Valley, so be prepared to drive about 10 minutes to wineries and downtown. It's great if you love pets, as you'll share the house with Kodiak (the most friendly Akita you'll ever meet) and two cats. But the animals may not be for everyone.
Judith is a warm and loving hostess. She (and her beautiful dog Kodiak) made us feel welcome from day one. Her place is in a quiet neighborhood - a quick jaunt to all the fun of Napa. Our only regret is not staying longer!
This is my first AirBnB stay and I was not disappointed by Judith's home. The location is perfect - it's near enough that everything's within a short drive but far enough from the busy streets/highways that it's so peaceful in the evenings. Everything was clean and well-kept. Judith is very welcoming and responds promptly (within an hour) of my emails and calls. I would definitely recommend her place for those visiting Napa.
Beautiful place super comfortable bed, great animals! You have to be ok with interacting with host as there's not too much privacy, and very close quarters... She's wonderful though!
We only stayed at Judy's house for two nights. We were feeling warmly welcome by Judy, Kody and her two cats. She is a warm and funny person and we had many laughs with her by the great pool. She was very helpful and arranged wine touring guide for us and booked table at a great restaurant that she recommended. The room was great with a comfortable bed and a private bathroom en suite. This was our first airbnb experience - we expect that it will be difficult to find such a great place with such a nice host again. Highly recommended! Jens & Karina

I'm a transplanted New Yorker who adores the beauty and serenity of Napa Valley. I arrived here "kicking and screaming" in 1993. It took me about 15 minutes to realize that I had died and gone to heaven. I've never looked back.
I'm an avid hiker and love to wine taste.
I know the valley quite well and would love to help you set about getting the most from your visit here

Curry Chicken Salad
Made This Recipe? Add Your Photo
Total Time
Prep5 mins
Cook15 mins
The best chicken salad in the world. My favorite way to eat this is on a croissant, but it is great by itself or on any other type of bread too. Also I always go by taste on the curry powder, but the measurement is close.
- 2 chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks
- 1⁄2 cup sliced almonds
- Poach chicken breasts in water (or chicken stock) for 15-17 minutes or until done. Cut into one inch cubes and chill.
- Blend ingredients to taste. You can make more of the sauce mixture if you desire.
- Enjoy.


text: TripAdvisor's popularity is based on it's being "unbiased". Yet many knowledgeable travellers and most locals locals ask themselves why TripAdvisor's top-rated selections are so often way off the mark. First, TripAdvisor's rating system is proprietary and a closely kept secret. Many users may not know that TripAdvisor is owned by the same company that owns Expedia. Moreover, TripAdvisor has bought out many competing review sites in recent years. Lastly, in early 2010, TripAdvisor will roll out Business Listings where some and only some reviewed properties such as hotels, will pay TripAdvisor large annual fees for the inclusion of their email and website links on TripAdvisor listings. It is clear to me that despite its popularity, TripAdvisor users are not receiving the accurate information, sincerity and transparency that the website promises to deliver.

Magnetic Chalkboard Paint
I've posted this on the paint forum, but is doesn't seem to be very active. I have a question regarding magnetic chalkboard paint. Does anyone have any experience with it? I found the attached website which is the inventor's sale/site as well, I think.
Would like to put this on a section of a wall in the laundry room. Any input is greatly appreciated.
Here is a link that might be useful: Magnetic Chalkboard Paint
Boy, that paint is expensive! I was thinking about doing something similar in my kitchen but I think I will buy a piece of metal and paint it with chalkboard paint. Then I'll frame it out to dress it up a bit and hide the edges of the metal.
Here is a link that might be useful: DIY Chalkboard Paint
I haven't used it myself, but a friend of mine did and reported that the magnetic aspect is so weak that it's really useless. Even after multiple coats of the magnetic layer. The chalkboard aspect is fine, but nothing heavier than the thin paper-like magnets will stick. Sounds like painting a piece of sheet metal would work better.
Here is a link to a blog that I found the idea on. I couldn't find it a minute ago!
Here is a link that might be useful: Blog Inspiration
Thank you for the input, I think the metal sheet and chalkboard paint route is the better one and cheaper too!
I used the magnetic paint about 7 years ago. I bought it at a BM paint store, but I"m not sure what brand the paint was. It was a pain to paint with. It was thick and goopy. I did several coats and sanded between coats. The result was not as smooth as the smooth finish on my walls.
I painted the triangle wall on a short staircase leading to our mudroom, so it wasn't obvious that the wall was not perfectly smooth. I also covered the magnetic paint with the same paint color as the rest of the room, as I was interested in the magnetic aspect and not the chalkboard one.
As far as magnets, you need to use special magnets that are very small but extremely magnetic. My DH happened to have some from some of his hobbies and it makes a big difference. These magnets can be found on line.
clarygrace - I did this in our laundry room when we moved in. I agree with the suggestion of using metal painted with chalkboard paint because I had to do many, MANY coats of paint and it never held the magnets well at all.
Since our laundry rooms are so similar in size, I thought I'd mention that another issue I had is that, as we were walking by with hands full of laundry baskets or groceries - my door leads to the garage - whatever has hanging here got knocked off constantly. We also had a register right there that blew papers all over the place. What a mess!
We never used the board and then the painters just had to skim the whole wall to be able to paint over since there was so much paint there.
I just painted a steel door with Krylon brand chaulk board paint which I purchased at Sherwin Williams (about $15). I applied it with a foam roller and did 4 coats. I think it could use another coat, but it looks great and was easy to do.
My GC told me not to paint the edges so that we can apply trim more easily, later.
Here is a link that might be useful: Krylon chaulk board paint
My friend owns a small store that sells baby and kids toys and clothes. She painted a wall with some type of chalkboard paint, and she's really not impressed with it. It works really well for making announcements about sales and activities if she uses wet chalk, but you also need to wipe it off with a sponge and water to clean it. It's not good for the kids to color on because regular dry chalk doesn't write well on it. It isn't quite the same as the chalkboards we're used to in elementary schools. I dont know if she used the magnetic kind of paint or not. I'm guessing she didn't since she wouldn't want magnets around toddlers.
Maybe new and better paint is available, but I'd recommend testing it in a small patch before you commit all the way.
Thanks again....I'm still pondering -- I can purchase a 4 x 5 magnetic chalkboard for about $300, but as ayerg73 mentioned, we have similar size laundry room and we would could potentially be knocking into it bringing groceries etc. in from the garage.
All this started when I told DH that our new fridge is true stainless steel and thus no more magnets and stuff on the fridge; he makes such a mess with it and this was my solution to get the mess out of the kitchen. I told him he could have a magnetic chalk board in the laundry room for his countless magnets and pieces of paper! He's worse than the kids sometimes :) Thanks again!
Back painted glass can work also - just write on it.
They also make paint that works like a marker board
I'm not keen on the chalk dust everywhere so I'm going to try these from Ikea, or something similar. It seems like these would be easier to keep clean.
Here is a link that might be useful: Whiteboard magnet board
Just makes sure you get the right kind of metal. I thought I was so smart and I went to Lowe's and bought a large piece of their sheet metal and then hit it with 3 coats of chalkboard paint. Not magnetic at all. The only thing I can figure is that it's a non magnetic metal (I didn't know those existed). So now I have a non magnetic, lovely trimmed out chalkboard that could have cost me $50 less.
Frustrating to say the least!

The NYT has a good piece noting factors that are likely to lead to somewhat stronger growth for the 4th quarter of 2011, but which will not be present in 2012. As a result, it suggests that we will see growth close to 3.7 percent in the fourth quarter, but this will fall back to 1.5-2.0 percent in the first half of 2012.
It is worth noting that even at a 3.7 percent annual growth rate it will take us until almost 2017 to get back to the economy's potential GDP. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the economy is operating at about 6 percent below its potential level of output. With a potential annual growth rate of 2.5 percent, 3.7 percent growth GDP growth reduces this gap by 1.2 percentage points a year. That means it will take roughly five years of growth at this rate to close the gap.
Following steep recessions in the 70s and 80s, the economy had years of growth between 6-8 percent. In this context, a 3.7 percent growth rate does not look especially strong, even if it is more rapid than the economy is likely to see over the next couple of years.
The NYT reported on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency's seizure of unauthorized copies of goods, which it priced at $77 million. (It's not clear whether this is the value of the copies or the price of the goods that were being copied.) The piece repeatedly refers to these goods as "counterfeit."
It is not clear from the article that the goods were in fact counterfeit. If they were counterfeit, then consumers were deceived into believing that they were getting the brand product that was being copied. Often consumers know that they are getting copies of the brand product, not the actual product produced by the company. In this case, the product cannot properly be termed "counterfeit."
This distinction is important because the consumer is being ripped off in the case of an actual counterfeit item. They would presumably cooperate with law enforcement in efforts to eliminate counterfeit items. However, consumers are often happy to buy unauthorized copies of brand products because they sell for much lower prices than the brand product. In this case, consumers will be allied with the sellers in trying to evade law enforcement, since both are benefiting from the transaction.
This piece provides no indication that the products seized were in fact counterfeit. It is only clear that they were unauthorized copies. Reporters should be careful to note this distinction.
After being the big optimist who was bashing the double-dip gang in the summer and fall, I am now back to being the killjoy who refuses to join in the celebrations over the November data on housing starts reported yesterday. The point that I made in a prior post is that these numbers are highly erratic. This is especially true of the monthly data on starts of multi-family units, which were driving the jump reported for November.
This chart gives the basic picture.

Source: Census Bureau.
This chart shows three important pieces of information. First construction of both single family units and multi-family units has plummeted since the peak of the bubble in 2006. Second, the monthly data on starts are far more volatile for multi-family units than single family units. Third, in the last year, starts of multi-family units have recovered much more than starts for single family units, which are still near their 2009 trough.
Combining points 2 and point 3, we can conclude that the monthly number on starts will be far more volatile now that multifamily units account for around one-third of all starts as compared to the good old days when they accounted for less than one-fifth. So this is why I am not celebrating just yet (except for Hanukkah).
The NYT had a good piece on Sunday on how the American Bar Association limits the numbers of law schools and lawyers in the country. This inflates the salaries of lawyers.
This sort of restriction should be viewed the same way as a tariff on imported steel. It has all the same negative effects on consumers and the economy. The main differences are that the restrictions on lawyers redistribute income upward to the top 5 percent or even 1 percent and the economic distortions are almost certainly much larger. The other major difference is that the protectionism that benefits lawyers gets much less attention from economists, reporters, and columnists.
The Post has another piece showing some pre-mature optimism on the housing market. The proximate cause was the jump in housing starts that the Commerce Department reported for last month. As the piece notes, this jump was driven almost entirely by an increase in starts reported for multi-family units. In fact, most of the gain was attributable to sharp rises in starts in the Northeast and West. The gains in the South were modest and starts in the Midwest actually fell.
In fact, housing starts, especially for multi-family units and near the end of the year, are highly erratic. For example, multi-family starts jumped 92.8 percent in January of this year. These erratic movements are often related to tax or regulatory changes that can make it desirable to rush ahead with a project before the end of the year or to delay it into the next year. This is why it is desirable to see several months data before assuming that the reported change is real.
The other items cited as evidence of a recovering housing market are also dubious. The piece asserts that house prices have stabilized. Actually, the Case-Shiller 20-City index shows prices falling since April. The piece reports a rise in rents, but this is largely due to the impact of higher utility prices. The owner equivalent rent index, which excludes utilities, has increased at just a 1.9 percent annual rate over the last 3 months and a 2.1 percent rate over the last six months. The latter is almost identical to the overall rate of inflation over this period.
The piece also argues that shortages of housing are starting to appear because the 1.2 million trend annual rate of household formation is wearing away at the excess supply created by the building boom of the bubble years. Actually, the trend rate is almost certainly well below 1.2 million given the country's current demographics. The Congressional Budget Office projects labor force growth at around 1 million a year. This would put us at a considerably slower rate of household growth even if every new worker started their own household. In terms of the underlying balance of supply and demand, the Commerce Department shows that vacancy rates are still at a near record high.
(Note: some have raising doubts about the vacancy data. These calculations failed to note that when dilapidated housing is put back into use or non-residential property is converted to residential use, these units do not appear in the housing start data.)
The NYT reported that the Republicans in the House want the federal government to allow states to use unemployment insurance tax revenue to pay for job training. It quotes Representative James B. Renacci on this topic:
"In this uncertain economy, using unemployment dollars to subsidize the training of a new employee to re-enter the work force is just good public policy."
It would have been worth pointing out that there is no major sector of the economy that seems to be short of workers. Real wages are flat or declining in every major occupational grouping. There is no occupation where job openings are especially high relative to job seekers (the overall average is more than 4 to 1).
If there are not obvious jobs for which to train workers, government training programs sound like a great example of ill-considered social engineering.
I will join in the piling on exercise. Politifact, which is supposed to verify the veracity of claims made by politicians, jumped into the world of language devoid of meaning in its selection of the "lie of the year."
Politifact's "lie of the year" was the claim by Democrats that the House Republicans voted to end Medicare when they voted for Representative Ryan's system of premium supports, or vouchers. Under this plan, people who turn age 65 after 2022 would not get the traditional Medicare plan. Under the Ryan plan, seniors would be given a sum of money by the government, which they could then use to buy into a range of plans. The proposal includes no guarantee that the money provided by the government would be sufficient to purchase an adequate plan. The Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) projections imply that it would be grossly insufficient to pay for a Medicare equivalent policy.
Those are the basic facts [read the CBO analysis and/or the projections that we derived from the CBO analysis]. Given these facts, how can it be a "lie" to say that the Republicans voted to get rid of Medicare?
In the Politifact world, if a company replaces its defined benefit pension with a 401(k) plan, workers who said that the company was getting rid of the pension would be liars. The Medicare system has existed as a fee for service program for almost half a century. It does allow for other options, but people have always been able to choose the traditional fee for service plan and the vast majority of beneficiaries have always chosen this option.
Representative Ryan and his Republican colleagues in Congress voted to take away this option for people turning age 65 after 2022. That is the truth on Planet Earth, in Politifact-land this counts as not only a lie, but as the "lie of the year."
The housing bubble apparently still has not gotten word about the housing bubble. Of course it is easy to see how an $8 trillion bubble whose collapse wrecked the economy could escape the attention of the nation's premier business publication.
If the WSJ had gotten word about the housing bubble it would not have said silly things about the baby boom cohorts like:
"In part because of improvidence and weak wage growth, in part because many have lost jobs and in part because of the severe recession, Baby Boomers as a group are unready for two or even three decades of life after they stop working."
See people who have heard of the housing bubble, and the stock bubble that preceded it, know that tens of millions of baby boomers did not save because their house was doing it for them. If a $250,000 home goes up 10 percent in price, this is as good as putting $25,000 into a 401(k).
This is the well-known (among people who have taken intro econ) housing wealth effect. There is also a stock wealth effect. These asset bubbles are the main reason that baby boomers did not save sufficiently for retirement.
This predicted effect of asset bubbles is one of the reasons why people who know economics thought it was incredibly bad policy for Robert Rubin, Larry Summers and Alan Greenspan to celebrate the stock bubble in the 90s and for George W. Bush, Robert Rubin, and Alan Greenspan to celebrate the housing bubble in the last decade. The fact that tens of millions of baby boomers would end up ill-prepared for retirement was a 100 percent predictable outcome from these bubbles.
Unfortunately the people who were making economic policy at the time did not give a damn and the Wall Street Journal is covering up for them now.
Charles Lane tells Washington Post readers that:
"Western Europe's recent history suggests that flat income distribution accompanies flat economic growth. Which European country recorded the biggest decrease in inequality between 1985 and 2008? That would be Greece."
An argument based on a sample of one may fit the standards of the Washington Post, but it is not the sort of thing that normal people would find compelling. If we look the IMF's data on per capita GDP growth since 1980 one would be hard-pressed to find a clear relationship between inequality and growth.
The United States, an outlier for being unequal, does do relatively well in this picture. However, the much more egalitarian Swedes and Dutch fared even better by this measure. In fact, the per capita GDP growth record of most West European countries was not very differently from the U.S. over this period.
It is also worth noting that most Western European countries took much of the gains of higher productivity in the form of shorter work hours. It is now standard across the continent for workers to have 4-6 weeks a year of vacation. As a result of more vacations and benefits like paid family leave and paid sick days, the average work year for workers in West Europe is around 20 percent shorter than for workers in the United States. When we adjust for hours worked, it would be difficult to identify any growth dividend in the United States from its greater inequality.
The fact that there is no clear link between inequality and growth suggests that inequality is the result of the institutional and political structure, not the dynamics of the economy. For example, in the United States we allow banks to enjoy the benefit of too big to fail insurance from the government, which means that they can take big risks with money borrowed from creditors. When the bets pay off, the executives get huge paychecks. When they don't, the taxpayers get the bill. This policy promotes rent-seeking, not growth.
Also, unlike Europe and Asia, we have rules of corporate governance that allow top executives to rip off their corporations by paying themselves huge salaries, even when they fail. This policy also does not contribute to growth.
We also have a policy of making it difficult for foreign professionals to compete with highly paid professionals in the United States. This raises the cost of health care and other services, by forcing people to pay more for doctors, lawyers and other highly paid professionals.
And, we have a policy that gives patent monopolies to drug companies. This allows the drug companies and their top executives to make large amounts of money at the expense of patients. These monopolies increase the annual cost of drugs by more than $250 billion a year, approximately 5 times the amount at stake with the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy.
These and other policies that redistribute income upward do not promote growth. Unfortunately, these policies will almost never be discussed in the pages of the Washington Post which restricts itself to the sort of simplistic growth versus inequality nonsense presented by Lane.
Marketplace Radio had a segment on the proposed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile. It reported that AT&T argued that the acquisition of T-Mobile would allow it to better serve consumers by giving it a large number of cell phone towers in areas where AT&T currently provides inadequate coverage. The segment then said that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) saw things differently. They blocked the merger because they argued it would lead to excessive concentration and higher prices for consumers.
Actually, there is no conflict between these views. AT&T was arguing that there are substantial economies of scale in the industry that can still be gained even for a firm that already has a 25 percent market share. The FCC argued that allowing firms to gain an even larger market share would imply substantial monopoly pricing power.
These are totally consistent positions. This is why phone companies have historically been either publicly owned or subject to government regulation. The argument is that the nature of the technology would lead to natural monopolies (in the old days, no one was going to lay a parallel set of wires to the old AT&T network).
It is desirable to let firms take advantage of all the available economies of scale to reduce their costs. However, if left unregulated they would take advantage of the lack of competition to gouge consumers. The answer is to have regulators set their prices based on an assessment of their actual costs. It is remarkable that this standard economic solution has not been raised in the public debate over the merger.

As women approach menopause they endure many symptoms, but one that proves the most difficult for many women to accept is menopausal weight gain. Not only can a few extra pounds (or maybe more) ravage a woman's self-esteem and self-image, but weight gain can usher in a host of health concerns that put a woman at risk of developing life-threatening conditions.
About 90% of menopausal women experience some amount of weight gain. Although weight gain is a natural and common aspect of getting older, there are ways to reduce it. Women who are educated about this symptom are more likely to find ways around the typical spare-tire waist or extra inches here and there. Continue reading to learn more about weight gain, its causes, and treatment options.
Weight gain takes place when an individual increases her body mass, whether as a result of fat deposits, additional muscle tissue, or excess fluid. However, weight gain associated with menopause typically involves increased amounts of fat around the abdomen.
On average, women gain between 12 and 15 pounds between the ages of 45 and 55, the stage in life when menopause typically occurs. This extra weight generally does not evenly distribute itself throughout a woman's body. The weight tends instead to accumulate around the abdomen, and women often notice the shape of their bodies slowly lose their hour-glass figure and begin to take on a rounded shape. Read below to learn the common symptoms associated with weight gain during menopause.
Women generally know when they have gained weight and don't need to learn how to identify this menopausal symptom. Some of the indicators, however, are unique to weight gain associated with menopause. At the right there is a list of symptoms of weight gain during menopause.
Weight gain during menopause entails more than just aesthetic concerns. Although no one enjoys looking in the mirror and seeing a softer, plumper body looking back, weight gain can lead to very serious health conditions that transcend visual displeasure. Several diseases and other conditions can spawn as a result of a body burdened with excess pounds. Here is a list of conditions weight gain can lead to:
• Heart disease, stroke
• High blood pressure
• Osteoarthritis
• Breast cancer
• High cholesterol
• Kidney disease
• Sleep apnea
• Insulin resistance (increasing diabetes risks)
• More severe menopausal symptoms
Click on the following link to learn more about weight gain, or continue reading below to learn what causes weight gain during menopause.
With a little bit of planning, sincere willingness, and a desire to have fun, you can stick to an excellent workout program. You will feel fantastic, tone up, and shed pounds if you make exercise an integral and enjoyable part of your life. Learn what it takes to keep consistent.
Unfortunately, menopausal weight gain is common. However, though at first it may difficult, if you apply the tips explored in this article, you can enhance your overall quality of life while the pounds melt away. These lifestyle adjustments are worth the effort to stay in shape.
As years progress the metabolism slows, setting the physiological stage for weight gain. Although age itself can lead to plumped midsections, women approaching menopause have particular cause for concern. As a woman's hormones fluctuate prior to menopause and preparing for a permanently reduced hormonal level, they are likely to experience weight gain.
A woman's hormones have complex functions in her body, including weight control. Here's a list of the different hormones that can affect weight gain and how:
Estrogen. As a woman's ovaries produce less estrogen, her body attempts to find the hormone in places other than the ovaries. Fat cells can produce estrogen, so her body works harder to convert calories into fat to increase estrogen levels. Unfortunately, fat cells don't burn calories the way muscle cells do, which causes weight gain.
Progesterone. Water retention is often linked to menopause because water weight and bloating decreases progesterone levels. Though this doesn't actually result in weight gain, clothes can feel a bit tighter and a woman may feel as though she's heavier.
Androgen. The amount of this hormone increases at the onset of menopause. It's responsible for sending new weight to the mid-section instead of to the hips, which many women are accustomed to. Some women even have a nickname for the menopause years based on the mid-section weight gain: "the middle-age spread".
Testosterone. Testosterone helps a woman's body create lean muscle mass out of the calories consumed. Muscle cells burn more calories than fat cells do, increasing metabolic rate. As testosterone levels drop, fewer calories are transformed into lean muscle mass, thus a woman's metabolism winds down.
Insulin Resistance. Insulin resistance can occur during the menopausal years. This is when a woman's body mistakenly turns every calorie taken in into fat. Over time, processed and refined foods may make a woman's body resistant to insulin produced in the blood stream.
Although hormones are largely responsible for weight gain during menopause, there are other factors that can play a role as well. They are separated into two categories: age and lifestyle factors.
Click on the following link to learn more about the causes of weight gain during menopause, or continue reading below to find out some of the best treatment options for weight gain associated with menopause.
Gallstones do not usually present external symptoms, and generally speaking, they are unlikely to endanger to your health. However, stones can sometimes be indicative of greater health concerns: gallstones develop primarily in overweight individuals. Those with high-cholesterol levels are more susceptible to gallstones than others.
Weight gain does not have to be an inevitable part of aging and menopause. Instead, it is possible to identify common reasons for weight gain during this period, so that the issue can be addressed. Find information on these five reasons, which include lack of sleep, increased stress and bad eating habits. Examples of additional reasons for weight gain are also given.
When looking for treatments for weight gain, it's important to begin with methods that are the least obtrusive, with the least likelihood of side effects, and progress from there.
This means that lifestyle changes are the best place to begin. For example, obviously the tried and true way to cope with weight gain is to get regular exercise and eat a healthy diet high in nutrients but not overboard in portion.
Typically, combining lifestyle changes and alternative medicines will produce the best results. When seeking out alternative medicines, keep in mind that because weight gain during menopause is associated with hormonal imbalance, look for herbal supplements that bring a natural balance to hormonal levels, for this will go a long way to grappling with weight gain at the core of the issue.
Finally, if a woman is still experiencing weight gain, there are different prescription medications and surgeries that can be explored, such as diet pills or liposuction. This final option comes with the most risk and side effects and should be considered a last result. A healthcare professional should be consulted before undergoing one of these options.
Click on the following link to learn all the specifics about treatments for weight gain during menopause, which begin with lifestyle changes, move onto alternative medicines, and finally, if those options don't seem to help, medications and surgery.
It's common for women to experience weight gain during their forties and fifties. Caused by changing hormone levels and a natural slowing of metabolism, those extra pounds can breed insecurities as well as a host of health concerns. Using herbal supplements could maximize the effects of a healthy diet and help stimulate weight loss.
A healthy diet is essential for weight loss. This article gives you the facts behind why it's so important to eliminate foods that make your system sluggish and encourage foods that keep you energized and happy. Who knew eating a grapefruit and switching to brown rice could cause such dramatic improvement?
