Being a parent to a child is stressful stuff. When I was just starting out, everyone had a different opinion on everything from how long to breast-feed to the brand of cocoa butter best smeared on my overstretched belly.
But it wasn't just the unsolicited advice that baffled; the scientific literature on toxins, in particular, jangled my nerves with its scary brand of information overload. NPEs, BPAs, melamine, lead and other heavy metals — the list goes on.
So it was that when someone sent me an article from ScienceDaily.com on the recent identification of toxic phthalates and BPA in dog toys and training aids, I couldn't help but regress to my stressed-out days as a less-than-confident new mom:
"You mean I've been letting my baby drink water from a BPA-contaminated sippy cup for six whole months? How will that mess with his growth rate?"
Reading this new BPA article from the point of view of a practicing veterinarian brought the same angst back home again — albeit less acutely, seeing as this subject is nowhere near so alien as my human infant seemed back then.
Indeed, this time I was not so scared for my pets. Rather, I was more impressed by how frightening the concept of unknown animal toxins might be to pet owners suffering the same press of science overkill I experienced 14 years ago — more so now given that we seem to hear about environmental toxins with increasing frequency.
Now don't get me wrong. It's not as if learning of toxins in dog toys comes as anything but an unwelcome shock to my veterinary senses. But here's the thing: The revelation that many of my clients feel every bit as jittery and overwrought as I did each time some new tidbit of bad-for-pet tidings comes their way means I've been undervaluing the emotional toll on their psyche.
Which helps explain why things like 2007's massive pet food recall — along with what seems like an inexorable onslaught of recalls, alerts and advisories on everything from pet toys and raw foods to contaminated drugs and chicken jerky (will the chicken jerky crisis never end?) — mean that plenty of pet owners must be feeling the psychological strain of it all.
All of which tends to culminate in one of two common emotional conclusions:
We can either become desensitized to the scariness of it all, or we can feel like incompetent human beings at a time when we most need to rely on our personal judgment.
For my part, I choose door No. 2. Because sometimes being a parent — whether of pets or people — needs to be scary if we're to learn how to do our job right. If only it didn't have to be so hard. Sigh.

Series Directed by

I was deeply disappointed by the way how the director had portrayed
Bruce Lee's character development with Martial Arts at the early
stages. At the same time, I believe that there wasn't enough of real
training or exercise for the character's portrayal of fighting styles.
Some fights and the movements, I must say are rather cheap as it looked
more of a mimic rather than real actual fighting impact. I wasn't happy
particularly at the beginning where Bruce is learning Boxing from
Blair. I have no problem with any alterations of plots because I do
think that this drama is very creative in a sense that it approaches
Bruce Lee's story from different angles.
However, the boxing part, I must say that I had forced myself to sit through. I was not convinced that Blair is really a good boxer, depending on his physique and movements, the fight between him and Bruce was rather a mismash or quick cuts between them exchanging unclear blows. I could not see what punches they used, what combos they unleashed, and the coordination of they footworks. If anybody who watches boxing in ESPN, will surely feel the same, they do not look like boxers at all even though Bruce and Blair are characters who train boxing.
At this stage, Bruce was young and of course had not develop the concepts of Jeet Kune Do yet. However there are some conflicts as I see that young Bruce as he was practicing his Wing Chun, doesn't really follow the classical style footwork, rather, I see him jumping around out of control and flinging his punches trying to mimic the mature Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was good with Wing chun, and all the fans would know and even saw the old footage of how he sparred with another partner. But this drama hasn't really achieve that level.
The one inch punch is another point I want to point out. Everybody knows that Bruce Lee has done a demonstration before with a guy standing still. But what sounds strange in this drama is that Yip Man was saying that he doen't need to follow boxing, but rather just use the one inch punch to beat the boxing champ. This is a confusing part because Bruce was told by yip man to wait till the 3rd round and first take the beatings. In the real world of Martial Arts, if one does not even fight back, eventually by taking beatings, you will get seriously injured. So Yip man doesn't really tell Bruce how exactly to stall the match or help Bruce, but just tell him to take the beatings. At the end, the students say, whatever the master says is right....We see Bruce actually following the orders of the master.
Now in real life, I think Bruce would not follow a theory or stick to rules blindly. But we still see Bruce doing everything that the master tells which goes against what Bruce has taught in his Jeet Kune Do concepts.
This is just the beginning of the series, my comments will keep on coming just to take note of any particular changes for this drama. Although I have negative comments, but I am looking forwardto watch and finish the entire series. It is interesting to watch the story of Bruce Lee made by mainland China, and compare it with the actual documentaries and films by Bruce Lee himself.

Adam Hall Humfrees 5635 - rack isolations to prevent hum loops, 4x M6 crews, 4x mouldings, 4x shims.
its only true purpose is to prevent against rack rash, it does not isolate equipment from each other, rather it isolates the rack equipment from the rack rails, so if 1 unit is causing hum this will transfer along each unit as their faceplates arent isolated the screws dont fit my adam hall rack or gator case, it comes with a soft adapter for smaller screws you have to cut the pieces out of their molds which isnt too difficult, but takes some accuracy to get them looking smooth with no bits sticking out. the rubber/plastic warps/goes out of shape and shift position before you have the screws tightened, its difficult to gauge when its tight enough, when it feels tight your left with a misshapen piece I dont normally right reviews straight after using a product but was so let down by these that I felt the need to write a review. some old bicycle inner tube would work better, or 2 plastic washers per screw would achieve the same
Do you believe this rating to be inaccurate or unacceptable for some reason?
Have you ever built a rack and then wondered why you get ground loop hum? This product not only eliminates this BUT it also ensures that your rack gear investment is protected from rack ear rack rash damage because of the rubber fittings that fully protect your gear. USed many of theses! Rack screws are also self isolating from the cack as you fit them because of the plastic sleeve around the head of the bolt - fat better than using rack washers!

Is Yammie coming home?
Very seldom do you see me put forth a rumor unless it's a known joke. BUT, this one is starting to pick up some steam.
This is all hearsay mind you . . . but from some pretty good sources that have said in the past to me: "See, didn't I tell you." So take it for what's it's worth, here goes.
Ted Leonsis and George McPhee have tried to unload Jagr and his contract everywhere. To no avail. Talks are finished with the Rangers and with Detroit but the goal (set by Leonsis) is to move Jagr, no matter what.
Here's where the major "holy, mackerel Andy" comes in . . . the deal was so much going down that Washington management told Jagr he was gone, for sure. Jagr so much believed this because the word came from Leonsis, McPhee and Jagr's agent he either sold his house, where he lived (close to Bondra) or just didn't renew his rental contract. Sold all of his furniture and personal belongings and prepared for a move that never took place. The rumor is that it was "so sure" that he already put money down on a place in NYC.
In an interview with Paul Hunter of the Toronto Star, yesterday . . . Jagr agreed. In the article Jagr was quoted: "I had nothing in Washington, I stayed in a hotel room the last month. But it's a business. I understand that. It's a lot easier for me to deal with it. I've got no family, I've got no kids. I don't worry about too much. It would be kind of sad but life goes on. If they trade me, I'll have to play for another team."
Also something interesting in the Toronto Star article was this: something motivating Jaromir Jagr this season is his desire to help 19-year-old centre Boyd Gordon, in much the same way that Mario Lemieux helped him break into the league when he arrived in Pittsburgh as a teenager 13 years ago. "He's a good kid and he's going to be a great player in my opinion," Jagr said.
Kind of interesting because the hot-thing rumor is that the Washington Capitals have very recently opened up talks with the Penguins in regard to trading Jagr back to Pittsburgh and that talk has leaked out to a few people. Jagr has talked about it to some of his teammates and to Cassidy and his attitude is not that of what someone would like to have in their employ at this moment. It is becoming very uncomfortable in the dressing room, on the ice but especially in team meetings were Jagr has apparently made a few comments about having to sell his home and furniture and is questioning Capitals management team for telling he and his agent it was a done deal when apparently it never was close to going down. Let alone all the jokes made when anything about team play and the future comes up.
Anyhow, back to the rumor to the Penguins . . . it has been stated that Jagr would be traded back to the Penguins for various combinations such as Kris Beech, Michal Sivek, Michal Rozsival and a high Penguin draft choice in 2005. Other names mentioned (in place of those) were Dick Tarnstrom, and the draft rights to Noah Welch. Washington would also pick up $6 million of Jagr's contract this season, plus $5, $3 and $3 over the remaining years.
To add to this rumor I include this web site where some real estate organization was put on ready to get the house ready for occupancy.
http://www2.county.allegheny.pa.us/RealEstate/General.asp?Name=Jagr&SingleResult=True&CurrBloLot =0669D00092000000
sory about the link . . . try
and key in "Jagr"
I'd give you the sources of this rumor but you wouldn't be able to handle it.

Eating was poor at times last week and this weekend. Need to get back on track and focus on the goals I've set.
Meeting up with Co-worker for massage this AM. Boss gave it to us as Christmas Present. Looking forward to relaxation and easing the shoulder muscles from being on the keyboards all the time.....
Finally got some snow and cold yesterday...brrr! Guess it was about time but not looking forward to cleaning off the car and going to work.
Getting back on track-tracking my food.
Trying to adjust my attitude at work and it seems to be going better. I am determined to be the best I can be wherever I am planted.
Weather makes me long for our adventure in February. Don't want to rush it too much cause it will be over before I know it. We will have fun! We always have fun with our best buds. There will be lots of laughter....
Off to make it a great day!
Tomorrow co-worker and I are going for massage's. Our boss gave us gift certificates for Christmas. Will enjoy the relaxation.
Mom is doing better but doesn't like to get out with this weather...which might be a good thing with all the slipping and sliding. Going to take her out Saturday afternoon. New prospective minister and family and church is having a get acquainted time on Saturday to get to know him. Think it will be good for her to get to know him some before Sunday. And good for us.
Back on tracking food.
Was a little sore today with rainy weather and the two hours of line dancing classes the night before.
Stayed over late with customers at work and wimped out going to Curves last night
Determined to be the best at what I do. Working at it.
My Motto for 2012...Attitude is Everthing!
Got through two hours of the class. They went at a slower pace this time and we only worked on 4 dances and I got most of them this time. Probably helps coming at the beginning. The exercise was good
Work going OK learning lessons. I'm going to stop buying lunch for co-worker. She orders things and then yesterday I got her order and on my way back she wanted somewhere else and then she didn't like what she ordered. I'm gonna stop telling them where I'm going. I on the other hand met up with friends from church and had a nice lunch and only ate 1/2 of it. Awesome!
Everything working out for our adventure in February. Haven't told Mom yet. Thinking we will do that close to when we leave and stock her up with groceries. Hope she doesn't pull a sickness right before we leave or be really down when we get back to pay us back for leaving. I know it will be scary for her that we will be gone for 2 weeks.
Read someone's blog that keeps reinforcing We choose how we FEEL...my motto for 2012 Attitude is EVERYTHING!

Reflections on the 4.5 Million Dollar Child they Wanted to Abort
|September 16, 2011
|Posted by Anthony under abortion, Blog, eugenics, human rights, morality, philosophy, pro-life, scientism, Secular Humanism
Posted this at the LFL-WI blog.
This is the sort of story that really gets under my skin. A Florida couple won a lawsuit against her doctors, asserting that they failed to discover that their child would be born disabled (no arms and one leg). The woman testified that she would have definitely aborted the child if they had that information.
"They went from the heights of joyous expectations to the depths of despair," their attorney Robert Bergin told the jury during closing arguments Wednesday.
It is a sham to think that the timing makes any difference. My wife and I also experienced this descent from joy to despair, but it actually occurred at the ultrasound. We were crushed as truly as this couple was crushed.
Arsenic and Fluoride; Watch the Double-Speak
|September 15, 2011
|Posted by Anthony under Blog, General, human rights, morality, scientism, Secular Humanism
Dr. Oz is catching fire for not distinguishing between 'organic' and 'inorganic' arsenic. This distinction appears to be completely absent in the community water fluoridation debate, where there are BIG differences between 'naturally occurring' fluoride and the stuff scraped out of the chimneys of phosphate fertilizer factories.
The Atheists and the Thought that Ends All Thought

In a recent post, I talked about Richard Dawkins' discussion in his Delusion about why children gravitate towards fantasy and myth, etc, and alluded to GK Chesterton's arguments about the 'thought that ends all thought.' This sentiment emerges in Chesterton's book Orthodoxy in a chapter appropriately called The Suicide of Thought. The previous post was […]

Posted to The ChristianPost.com Religious leaders are well aware of the vulnerability of the child brain, and the importance of getting the indoctrination in early. The Jesuit boast, 'Give me the child for his first seven years, and I'll give you the man,' is no less accurate (or sinister) for being hackneyed. The above quote […]

A Defense of the Integrity of Antony Flew's "There is a God" From His Own Letters
Several years ago, word came out that Antony Flew had rejected his atheism. What he accepted was in doubt and in dispute. In a conversation with Dr. Gary Habermas, I was informed that Flew was very disappointed with the introduction to "God and Philosophy" which was to have addressed his views. Concerned that Flew might die before he had a chance to set the record straight, I asked for and received Flew's mailing address. I contacted him, urging him to settle things. To my surprise, he replied…

Emergency call for bloodPublished 10:15pm Friday, January 28, 2011
This winter, the temperature hasn't been the only thing that has dropped.
According to information from the American Red Cross, inclement weather throughout the eastern part of the U.S. since Jan. 1 has caused a decline in more than 14,000 blood and platelet donations nationwide and nearly 700 donations in Alabama and the Central Gulf Coast.
Mark Beddingfield, CEO of the Alabama and Central Gulf Coast Blood Services Region, said the decrease in donations has been dramatic.
"We have not seen the January supply drop this dramatically in a decade," Beddingfield said. "We need to reverse this now because donating blood or platelets helps ensure immediate and future patient needs will be met."
Every two seconds in the U.S., a person who has suffered trauma — heart surgery patient, patient receiving treatment for Leukemia or other diseases, premature babies and many others — is in need of a blood transfusion.
The American Red Cross is the single largest supplier of blood products to hospitals throughout the U.S. The Red Cross accepts all blood types but O negative is ideal.
Evan Duffy, communications manager for the American Red Cross, Alabama and Central Gulf Coast Blood Services, said it's important for past donors to answer this immediate call.
"Some 300 blood drives have been cancelled so far," Duffy said. "We don't want those in need to go without, so if you haven't given blood in a while, now is a great time to do so. Give blood."
To schedule an appointment to donate, call the Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767 or visit www.redcrossblood.org.

The goods: Brickell has seen a slew of new eating options, from Peruvian sushi to down-home Mexican, but scoring a generous plate of hummus and shwarma has proved difficult. Until now. Meet Le Kabob, a new Middle Eastern spot blocks from Mary Brickell Village.
Ambience: Le Kabob's décor is more mod than Marrakesh – pale brick walls, a glossy red bar framing an open kitchen and dozens of bottles of wine resting in stainless steel racks that line the walls. There's a spacious outdoor patio in front where patrons lounge while smoking fruit tobacco from hookahs. The restaurant will even store engraved water pipes for regular customers – arguably the first hookah locker system in the city.
The grub: Traditional Middle Eastern cuisine with an emphasis on Lebanese classics. Expect charred meats, well-spiced meze-style starters and colorful platters of turmeric-flecked rice. Dinner begins with a basket of fluffy pita bread, the desired vehicle for the house hummus or Arabic mohamarah, made with ground walnuts, red peppers and olive oil.
Choose kabobs with beef, lamb, chicken, salmon or mahi mahi grilled on long metal skewers over an open flame. The Adana is a fragrant, foot-long ground chicken kabob, while the Lebanese Beftake is thinly-sliced marinated filet mignon. Vegetarians can indulge in falafel (chickpea fritters). Prices are moderate: Platters of kabobs rarely top $15 and sandwiches average $8. Several wines are available by the glass at a wallet-friendly $6-$12. Cap the meal with a pot of Lebanese sweet tea or a bracing cup of Arabic coffee.
Verdict: Middle Eastern classics in a stylish setting have finally landed on Brickell, giving the neighborhood some much-needed dining diversity.

Gear Review
Shhh... Yakima
Matt B
Member since
I was a bit skeptical at first, but I got a great price on it from Backcountry so I purchased it. WOW! What a difference! I installed it on a 2007 Mazda 3 (Hatchback). Easy to install, but make sure you run a "test" install first to make sure you know exactly were everything is going. Once you push in the push screws they will NOT come back out and Yakima doesn't give you any extras. I have a sun roof that slides back and tilts up. I can no longer slide it back, but I can still tilt it.

In the world of grant writing, fear of placing the right words within a narrative often holds prospective grant applicants back. For the non-writer, that fear may translate into a mentality of, "I cannot write well enough to obtain a grant." In most instances, this fear is unjustified. The larger question for grant writers should be, "So, how do I start the grant writing process?" That question is more easily answered than even the most fearful grant writer may think. Writing well first takes being inspired about the project for which you are writing; then you must inspire the reader...the potential funder, with your written narrative.
One of the first steps is to find out exactly what the funder wants to see in your writing. Though you may have an enormously worthwhile project in mind, the funder has laser-specific requirements for their targeted funds. You must consider these in order to write the most effective narrative possible for that funder. The only way to satisfy these requirements, and to better understand the funder's perspective, is to speak with them to discuss all of the grant's specifics. Before making the call, be sure and write a list of questions and items to discuss. Some of those questions may include, but certainly are not limited to:
Let's get back to writing to inspire. Once you have completed your due diligence, garnering all information and data for your project in preparation for writing and speaking directly with the potential funder, it is time to write the grant narrative. The best advice is to always write from the heart. Then back up your writing with meaningful citations from knowledgeable sourcing relative to the validity of your project. Let others evaluate your narrative prior to submission. Objective input is always helpful. Finally, go back over your narrative as many times as it takes to ensure that it not only represents all of the project facts correctly, but inspires the funder to grant the award to your project.
Everything in life that creates meaningful change requires inspiration. Think of the innovative projects that matter most to people. For example, there are those who devise pure water systems for Africa and India. They do so to counter drought, disease, and death. Their successful outcomes are born from their inspiration to save lives. So, whether it is clean water, or another life-affirming project that promotes human dignity, your project must be written to inspire.David Kiviaho and Sharon Sandifer, M.Ed, a brother and sister team, are the creators of kiisa corporation, a workplace training firm.

DIALOGUE ON RACE – Original Series
An educational process for the elimination
of racism
WHEN: Wednesdays, June 4- July 9, from 6-8 PM
WHERE: McGlynn Glisson & Mouton, 340 Florida Street, Baton Rouge, LA 70801
WHAT: The Dialogue series is a
structured two hour weekly series limited to 15 participants. The sessions are led by trained facilitators.
Participants prepare for the discussions by reading short articles before each
session. The facilitators set a safe
environment for open honest discussion around three topic questions with one 10
minute break during each session. All sessions begin and end on time.
Understanding what racism is
and how it operates in our system is the core of this education process.
The Dialogue recognizes that
racism is not an "us versus them" issue in communities. Racism is an institutional construct that was
built into our system and much of it exist today unintentionally and
indirectly. However as long as racism
exists, our institutions will tend to operate to the advantage of one race over
another instead of with full access for all equally.
Limit of 15 Applicants, all must participate in at least 5 sessions and attend session 1 on June 4th.

Nonprofits are constantly looking for new ways to demonstrate impact to funders, particularly to foundations that have less to invest and apply increased scrutiny to their grantees. So you can imagine why "How to predict the success of a nonprofit program before it starts" captured my attention in the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
The nonprofit sector has traditionally demonstrated progress on a social issue with custom reports that invent the wheel each time and are difficult to compare with equally unique reports about families saved, children fed or forests preserved. But what if there was a standard measurement that could forecast the potential success of a program before it started and be used to...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: A recent article on the MarketWatch website declared "American teens don't want to work." The article went on to paint a not so bright picture of today's youth.
The Big Buddy Program has hard evidence to dispute this claim.In partnership with the Mayor's Office, the Big Buddy Program is offering 100 high school youth a chance for a paid internship this summer. The application process was detailed and took a lot of time, but in the one month application period over 500 teens applied for the 100 positions.
The Level UP! Summer Internship program offers teens a unique workforce development experience, complete with a Workplace Mentor and weekly Tool Time Workshops to teach career workplace skills so often overlooked in today's education system such as:
According to Big Buddy Executive Director, Gaylynne Mack, "the response to the call for applicants proves our youth are ready to take their place in today's competitive workforce. All that is needed is for our businesses, organizations and individuals to step up to the challenge and make sure youth have the opportunities and experience needed to succeed."
Mack continued, "Big Buddy would love to offer positions to each young person wanting a job. We need the Baton Rouge business community to step up and make this a reality. For $2,000, a business may sponsor a young person in the program. Big Buddy will do the rest, find a workplace host sites, teach the career workplace skills, etc. A donation for $1,000 will allow the teens working in your business to attend our Tool Time Workshops to strengthen and enforce professional behavior in the workplace. We ask the business community to answer our challenge to put our youth to work and at the same time, strengthen the economic future of our community!"

In addition to being the nation's first African-American U.S. attorney general, Holder is also the first cabinet member to be held in contempt of Congress. The party-line vote was the result of his refusal to turn over about 1,500 additional pages of documents related to the gun-tracking program Operation Fast and Furious.

Polar M400 {A Review}
As some of you may have noticed, I've been wearing a new friend on my arm for the past couple weeks
The Polar M400! Polar sent it to me for review a few weeks ago and I've been happily wearing it ever since. I'm a long time Polar user. I started of with the Polar FT4 about 6 years ago, and then more recently upgraded to the Polar RCX3 when the FT4 finally bit the biscuit.
The upgrade from the FT4 to the RCX3 was pretty epic, because it took me from a straight up heart rate monitor, to a heart rate monitor with GPS tracking capabilities. I absolutely love being able to track both my speed and heart rate with one tool, and any of you who follow my race re-caps have probably seen my read-outs this past year from the RCX3.
But let's get back to the snazzy M400…
The training computer itself comes in the box alongs with a chest strap. a Bluetooth smart heart rate sensor (though you can also purchase just the watch computer unit on it's own) and a USB cable. Setting it up really easy, in fact they have a couple "getting started" videos right on the website to get you up and running in no time at all. You do have to charge the M400 via the USB cable when you first receive it, and from there as needed. In the two weeks I've been wearing it I haven't had to re-charge it at all, however I have only used the GPS and heart rate functions a couple times, and I expect those draw more power so I would expect to have to recharge it more often when using those options. Personally I like that you charge it versus it going on battery power. That means there is one less watch battery I would have to deal with in the future!
One thing that really sets the M400 apart from other similar products is that it doubles as an activity tracker! So even when you're not using the heart rate monitor or built in GPS to track your workouts your activity is still being recorded which I thought was really cool. I wear a FitBit so was eager to see how they compared when it came to daily activity tracking.
I wore the heart rate sensor to teach Zumba the first night I had it. I normally don't like wearing heart rate monitors while teaching because I find that I get too concerned with it but I found both the chest strap and the training computer comfortable to wear and almost forgot it was even on. It has to be said that the chest straps are soo much more comfortable now that they were back when I got my FT4. No wonder it made me cranky to wear when I taught.
As a self proclaimed nerd, getting stats like this about my workouts makes me giddy. Here is the computer read-out for that Zumba class:
500 calories in just under an hour seems pretty good to me!
Then that weekend I wore the M400 during the Lucky 7 Relay. I had planned to wear the heart rate sensor as well but because it was so cold, I would have had to taken off about 5 layers of clothes to get to my bare skin, and at the time that didn't sound very appealing to me! I did however, use the GPS and thank goodness I did. The really consisted of us running laps around Citadel Hill and if it wasn't for the M400 I would have ran one more lap than I needed to. Thank goodness for GPS! Here I am stopping to talk with my teammates while we figure out if I am on my last lap or if I have one more to go!
The real issue was the race was in km, and I typically deal in miles when I run so we had to do some quick math conversions to figure it out. I was a hot mess that day which you can clearly see from the run stats. I walked a good part of the race, but I was in the middle of a fibromyalgia flair-up so I was happy just to finish!
And I have to say, it is such a nice luxury not to have to carry around a separate GPS sensor (which I have to do when using my RCX3). That's one last thing I have to worry about being charged and losing! Another point for the M400!
Now let's talk a bit about the 24/7 activity tracker. As I mentioned, I wear a FitBit so I was interested to see how they would compare. I will start off by saying that I wear my FitBit on my right hand, and the M400 on my left. I'm left handed and they encourage you to wear it on your non-dominant hand but I always wear my watch on my left arm, and I didn't like the idea of wearing both the M400 and my FitBit on the same arm. Because of that I expected the M400 to record a slightly higher step count because it is on my dominant hand and might record a few more "false" steps. On the other hand, there have been times when training that I would run 10+ kilometres and my FitBit would think I'd only travelled about 7 so I knew it was sometimes a little bit crazy too.
With all that said, I personally think the Polar is slightly more accurate than my FitBit. I think that my step counts on the M400 are probably a bit higher than they should be because it's on my left wrist, but I get the feeling that it's giving me a better reading. Maybe that's psychosomatic and I think that because I like the higher number and because I know my FitBit has been quite wrong different times when I ran, who knows. Certainly I have no science to back up that theory. None the less, here is a readout of my activity level on my Fitbit from last Thursday, as well as the read out from the M400:
You can see that my FitBit registered me with 8 hours and 44 minutes of sleep, while the M400 said 8 hours and 56 minutes. A difference of 12 minutes which is pretty good I think. My FitBit estimated a calorie burn of 2927 versus the M400's 3482 (I teach 5 exercise classes on Thursdays), and my FitBit counted my steps at 21,306 versus the M400's 29960.
Obviously the biggest discrepancies are in the steps counted (part of which is due to the two counters being on opposite wrists) and total calories burned, but as I only ever look at these metrics for fun and don't take them as 100% truth so the difference doesn't concern me.
Something I really like in the M400 over FitBit is that it tracks you when you are laying, sitting, standing, walking and moving and shows you the breakdown of each.
This wasn't a particularly active day for me as you can see, and those black and grey shaded areas are the time I wasn't wearing the training computer at all. This is actually from Halloween night, and that time from around 5:30-6:45 was when I was working on my pumpkin grinner! Looks like that wasn't a very restful night either, since I seem to have been thrashing around quite a bit! hahaha
Another feature of the M400 (one that I'm happy to report I've only experienced a couple times) is a built-in inactivity alert which goes off if you've been inactive for a certain length of time
We went to see Interstellar on the weekend and it is so long that I had two alerts during the movie!
And when you sync the M400 your alerts get recorded right on your calendar so there is no hiding them
This is getting to be a pretty lengthy post, so let's wrap it up with my pros and cons
– I love that it is an all-in-one it with GPS, activity tracking and heart rate monitoring capabilities
– The inactivity alert is great for people who are working at a desk all day and need a reminder to get up and get the blood flowing now and again
– It's easy to use and it's Bluetooth capabilities allow you to use it with your smartphone so you can sync and get data on the go
– The detailed activity breakdowns are really awesome, and unlike my FItBit I don't have to tell the M400 I'm going to sleep, it just knows!
– No watch battery to worry about replacing. Just plug it in and it charges on it's own
– I have small wrists so at first it was hard to get use to wearing it as it's a fairly large unit. However, after about a week I was use to it and don't mind it at all now
– My phone is an iPhone 4 (it's like being in the stone age I tell ya!), so I don't have Bluetooth capabilities which means I have to plug the M400 into my computer anytime I want to sync. This isn't really a con of the product because I don't mind doing that, I just wish my phone wasn't so old so I could use the app because it looks super snazzy!
In case you can't tell I'm pretty darn smitten with the M400 and I'm going to be pretty glum on Monday since my review is now over I have to send it back. Sniff, sniff. But it's definitely going on my wish list!!
Disclosure: Polar Global sent me the Polar M400 in order to complete this review, and once completed I am sending it back to them. As always all thoughts and opinions expressed on this blog are 100% my own.
Solo Energy Bars Review + Giveaway
I've made it no secret around here that I'm a hard customer when it comes to protein powder and protein bars. Up until now the only protein bar I've ever liked at all was the SunRype bars I wrote about last month. That was until I tried SOLO Energy bars.
I have a hard time writing reviews sometimes, because it seems like everything I review I like, but there is a reason for that. When companies contact me about the possibility of doing a review, I only agree to try things I honestly want to try and think that I will like. And then on the odd occasion when I get something and don't like it, I simply don't write about it. So if you are ever wondering if I really like the products I have written about, the answer is yes. And if you know me IRL (in real life) you'll know that, that is true. The things I like I ramble on and on and on and ON about. Much like I did last Thursday evening when talking about SOLO energy bars.
Obviously I liked the taste of the bars (I think the lemon was my #1 fav), but that wasn't the only thing factoring into my decision making process. SOLO energy bars are marketed as, "energy that sustains," because they are low glycemic (and gluten-free) so they don't spike blood sugar. Another tidbit about me IRL, in my role as a nutrition and weight loss specialist I'm also a bit obsessed with people maintaining stable blood sugar. And by a bit I mean entirely. Anyone who has been coaching one on one with me can tell you how much I ramble about blood sugar, so knowing that these SOLO Bars provide a good dose of protein without a blood sugar spike also made me pretty happy!
At 200 calories, 4g of fibre and 10g of protein/bar SOLO energy bars make a wonderful snack option and are great to keep in your bag for an emergency snack. I had the chance to try all 8 flavours which include Peanut Power, Lemon Lift, Mocha Fudge, Dark Chocolate Almond, Coconut Pineapple, Dark Chocolate Mandarin, Chocolate Charger and Apple Cinnamon with Quinoa.
Lemon Lift, Dark Chocolate Mocha and Coconut Pineapple were my three favourites, but I liked (and actually ate) all of them. I've already checked to see where I can buy them locally because I want to restock!
Because I enjoyed the bars so much and wanted to share them with all of you, I asked them if they would like to sponsor a giveaway and they said yes!
The Giveaway
1 lucky Canadian reader will receive a package of 8 bars (one of each flavour) so you can try them for yourself! To enter please visit their website to find a retailer near you and then come back and leave a comment below telling me what store you could purchase them from if you don't win (store name is fine, you don't need to give me the full address).
Giveaway will close at 11:59pm EST on Thursday, November 20, 2014. Giveaway is open to residents of Canada only.
Congrats Debbie!!!
Disclosure: I was provided with product free of charge in exchange for my review, as always this post contains my honest opinions.

I have several recipes for baked beans, and they all seem to suit a particular time of year or occasion. These are the baked beans I traditionally make on Super Bowl Sunday. They go very well with my pulled pork and other dishes on my menu. I do warn you that this recipe makes a LOT of beans. This recipe is easily increased or decreased. Use a 28-ounce can of beans for every six guests.
