Jurich Could Run UK And UL Sports
Don't you feel sorry for Penn State University?
I do. And I'd like to do something for the Nittany Lions.
As you know, Penn State is trying to recover from the worst and ugliest mess in the history of intercollegiate athletics. You probably have read or heard more than you wanted to know about the shameful conduct of one of its top football assistants who was protected by the director of athletics. The coach is now in prison and probably will rot there.
I know where Penn State should start – and stop – looking for an A.D. who could straighten out everything that ails the campus.
The man I recommend to the Big Ten school will bring the university instant credibility. He is a church-going man who is squeaky clean. Competent? You bet. Only one man may be more competent than my candidate – and he isn't interested in changing his employment.
The man I have in mind for Penn State is none other than Mitch Barnhart.
Yes, he is secure at the University of Kentucky, where he hired a man who in just a few short years has brought a national basketball championship to Lexington. And he has built a strong women's program.
Is he a football man too?
Well, Penn State can win in football if a monkey is the head coach. But an NCAA national basketball trophy would be a nice replacement for all those football ones that were banished from the campus as if they never happened.
Is the man I have in mind for Penn State available?
Money talks, louder than anything else. Penn State can meet anyone's asking price.
Better hurry, Penn State!
If "my man" should move to Penn State, I have a successor in mind for the University of Kentucky – actually one so competent and respected that he could be in charge of athletics at both of Kentucky's major universities!
You read that right.
And why not?
If one man (or one woman) can be governor of our entire state and run everything, I am certain that a man as competent as Tom Jurich could run athletics at both UK and UofL.
No man has ever done as much for our state's economy and employment as one woman, former governor Martha Layne Collins, who lured the huge Toyota plant for Georgetown. People as far away as Paducah work at the huge plant in Scott County (and commute each day!).
Think big, Kentucky!
And here's a tip: I hope that you got to read Eric Crawford's column on WDRB.com. Craword gushed – I don't know any better word – about the building job Jurich has done at UofL.
Sam Rechter and Harry Jones, who recruited Jurich to Louisville, should take a well-deserved bow.

Slow and steady wins, right??
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 11-17-2012 - 1:50pm
I've always said that I like to get to know someone first before I even have a real date with them. I like meeting someone, slowly developing a sort of "friendship", and then moving into dating or whatever. But I'm getting impatient with this guy!
So I have his number. I texted him. He responded, but I'm not sure he knew it was me so he probably doesn't know he has my number, or didn't save it. A couple of weeks ago, he sent me a friend request on FB. My girlfriend (the one who got his number first) is also friends with him now. I'm not sure if she sent him one, then he sent me one, or he sent one to both of us. Anyway...not a big deal because I don't consider FB a dating place, but at least he maybe sees me as someone he'd like to keep in touch with.
In the meantime, there have been many glances, prolonged eye contact, smiles, etc. exchanged during trivia. He's been telling me goodbye when he leaves, with a little pat on the shoulder. This Thursday, he came over to our table and somehow got on the topic of how he wants kids. (Can we say uterus throbbing??? I might have just taken him right there if I'd had a stronger drink!)
Ugh. I feel like there's progress...we're getting to know each other, talking more, etc....but it's soooo sloooow. Which I guess is what I like. But in the meantime, I've still got those uterus throbs! I've thought about just texting him a random (unnecessary) question one night about something, but I haven't a clue what I'd say. I need to talk to him without my friends around, and that's not going to happen at trivia. My friends are always around!
In the meantime, I wait. And try to ignore the fact that his friends seem like crude jerks!

Music, he was really easy talking to earlier this year. Had two very nice conversations alone with him then (months between) and that was not a problem at all for either of us. This summer he was the one who talked the most and in a humorous and interesting manner actually, I really enjoyed that. But now my mind just went blank and I could not for the life of me find anything to say. It had been a few months since I saw him this close as well, maybe I was stunned, LOL. Part of me tells me that he meets so many people (including other girls) in his freetime playing in all those bands, and why should he be bothered getting to know little mousy me? But I try to shut out that voice in my head and smile as sweetly as I can while saying hi.

Ruby, this reminds me of a time I was coming out of the grocery store w/ my DD when she was about 14. She pointed out some boy she liked and I said "aren't you going to say hi to him?" She said "NOOOOO, of coruse I can't talk to him." lol It's pretty painful when both people are shy because neither one can go outside of their comfort zone. I talked a few posts above about the guy in my dance class who is shy and we never got anywhere after me trying to show interest. I find it awkward some times to be sitting with him at a dance because he'll never initiate conversation, although he'll reply if I say something, but that gets tiresome to always have to be the one to think of something to say. Then there is this other guy who I think is much more good looking (he looks like Daniel Craig) and I feel I have no chance with him since he goes after the younger and best looking women (who generally turn him down!) but we have no problem conversing--he's very friendly. So I think part of it is his personality, which is more talkative, and part of it probably is that I figure I have no chance, so I'm not thinking of him as a potential date (even though I'd love to), I'm figuring that we won't go past being friends, so maybe that also makes me less self conscious. So I think maybe part of the solution is to try not to think of these guys as dates or romantic interests and get all worried about "will he like me?" and just treat them like every body else--I'm sure that's easier said than done.

First of all, apologies to Shywon for hijacking the thread...
Second, Free, you seriously want me to gush about my relationship here on the single board? When both Rocklady and myself were told off for even posting here some time ago?
I call him husband now because after almost 10 years together and at our age, 42 and 45, bf just sounds stupid, and I don't like 'partner' anymore. I've spoken about him all over the place on ivillage, and here too at some point in the past..
Free, the one who plays bass guitar in a rock band is Rocklady's, not mine..
Ok, lookswise: he's 6ft 2, about 13 stone, not athletic but very slim, truly very handsome - beauuuuutiful dark brown eyes and they have this one feature, they look like he's got a permanent eyeliner tattoed at the very top of his lower lashes because they are so thick- AMAZING. Perfect nose. Slightly thin lips but perfect for his face. Perfect facial structure overall. Has very thick wavy black hair well past his shoulders. Lots of tats on his upper arms. Dresses old-rocker-style, leather jacket, jeans, band t-shirt. Adores rock/metal music just like I do. Most importantly, he's a kid at heart.
Relationship: we are, simply put, made for each other. We are very happy together. We are compatible on every front that is important: as a man and a woman, as people, as everything else that we are. He is the easiest person on the planet to live with, sociable, kind, happy by nature, not a trace of temper, easygoing, all together a lovely person. He works for a non-profit organisation p/t and also teaches Italian to students at home. We're not workaholics; work is not important to us. Work's what you do to pay for gooooooooood tiiiiiiimes. We like to have fun and relax and laugh and drink our wine and whiskey. We don't do mortages children or huge loaded responsibilities - basically live a lifestyle of people around 15 years younger than us and are very happy with it too! We're not rich in any way, and neither are we perfect. He isn't perfect by any means, and neither am I. But he is perfect for me, and I for him.
Will that do?
|Wed, 11-21-2012 - 12:34pm
so Julia you sound like an expert on how to get into a relationship.
why not share how to do that and tell us about how great your relationship is?? you never speak about your man so I am assuming he might not be as great as you say.. I dont think you ever talk about your own relationship at all with him other than he plays an instrument or something..
why is that?? It makes me wonder ??they say when people dont discuss their lives and focus too much on others they are not happy within themselves..
|Wed, 11-21-2012 - 12:25pm
Oh we're not telepathic or anything... We just tend to read ivillage 'together'. Rocklady in her office in Germany, and me in mine here in England. We 'like and dislike' the same people, are intrigued by and indifferent to the same 'characters' and stories, have almost 100% idential opinions on people's dilemas... you get the picture. I'll read a post and tell her about it and she will do the same. You should have been a fly on the wall listening to our 'Marina' conversations on the phone and in person. Oh hooow both 'loved'...'her'...LOL................... Just an example of us having the exact same opinion on something going on here...
|Tue, 11-20-2012 - 6:42pm
Shy it is time to be aggressive. Get rid of the "friends" who are in your way. Re-program yourself. You are experiencing anxiety about a possibility. Ask him out. If he is too polite or respectful then use the cast iron skillet method. You get irritated if they seem to want sex? Then challenge them. Tell those men you would not consider as a lover someone who did not ask you out. Want children seek the best genetic specimen of male. Go Gurl!! Go and conquer!

Cha-ching in the holidays at your business
Your customers are counting down the days before the holiday shopping season begins. As your staff prepares for the retail onslaught, the FTC has tips to help ensure that Black Friday and Cyber Monday aren't followed by Consumer Complaint Tuesday and Law Enforcement Wednesday.
After the cameras stop rolling
Every so often, the FTC announces a law enforcement sweep targeting a particular kind of deceptive practice. Sometimes there's a press conference featuring federal agencies and state AGs. Blue suits and official seals abound. A typical headline: "More Than 70 Actions Brought By FTC and Its Law Enforcement Partners." But do you ever wonder what happens after the cameras stop rolling?
An environmental "multi-vitamin" for engines? FTC finds ad claim hard to swallow
Green Foot Global said its EnviroTabs fuel additive was "the world's 1st multi-vitamin for your engine." A lawsuit filed by the FTC suggests that one primary nutrient in the environmental "multi-vitamin" was Vitamin D — for Deception.
Combating "cramouflage": What businesses can learn from the FTC's latest mobile case
Call it "cramouflage" — unauthorized (and unexplained) charges that show up on people's mobile phone bills. Regardless of whether consumers use cell phones, land lines, or two cans tied together with string, it's illegal to bill them without their express consent. That's always been the law. It's the law now. And we'll go out on a limb and predict it'll always be the law. A settlement involving "cramouflage" charges is the FT
Heads up, payment processors
Here's a fun fact we didn't know: Contrary to popular belief, ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand. And here's a disturbing observation borne out by FTC experience: Some companies that grease the wheels for fraudsters do bury their heads in the sand. Others go a step further and help cover up their affiliates' wrongdoing. Either course of conduct could land them in legal hot water. That's just one message businesses can take from the FTC's
Watch it live
If today's Internet of Things workshop at the FTC interests you or your clients, a smart device has probably already reminded you to watch the webcast live. Even if you couldn't make it to Washington today, you can still participate. FTC staff is tweeting workshop highlights fro
Blurred lines
Blurred lines are the talk of the media world. No, not that "Blurred Lines." What advertisers, consumer groups, academics, and the FTC are trying to put into focus is the blending of ads with news, entertainment, and other content in digital media — sometimes called "native advertising" or "sponsored content." That's what's up for discussion at a December 4, 2013, public workshop at the FTC. Blurr
How your business can help protect those who protect us
Maybe it's a "We Support Our Troops" sign at the front of your business or a special discount for members of the military. There are lots of ways companies try to show appreciation to servicemembers and their families. If Veterans Day has you thinking about how to say "thank you" for their sacrifice, the FTC has an easy first step: Honor their legal rights.
How I spent my summer vocation: FTC revises Vocational School Guides
We've all seen ads for vocational schools promising the inside track on well-paying careers in exciting industries. If you have clients in the vocational school business, class is in session about revisions to key FTC guides.
In a world . . .
In a world where your coffee pot secretly notifies your toaster that you're ready for breakfast, one agency dares to stand up and ask the question others won't: Just what are the consumer privacy and security implications?
A Mark, A Yen, A Buck or A Pound
Those billions of dollars people send from the U.S. to other countries make the world go around. If your company or your clients are in the business of sending remittances overseas for consumers, you need to know about a rule from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) that just took effect.

text: Boullier: Grosjean must learn to control the pressure 9 October, 2012 Romain Grosjean pressure mounting Oct.9 (GMM) Lotus team boss Eric Boullier was vague when asked if Romain Grosjean's constant first-lap crashes have endangered his career in Formula One, in the wake of another first turn indiscretion that ruined the race for a number of drivers. "Not for now," said Boullier, who doubles as the head of the Gravity company that manages the beleaguered Frenchman's career. After his Monza race ban, Grosjean was back in trouble at Suzuka when he incurred a furious Mark Webber's wrath for yet another first-corner crash. "Maybe we need two separate starts – one for him, one for us," the Australian, having earlier slammed Grosjean as a " the first lap nutcase", told the BBC. Pundits up and down the paddock have called on the FIA to get race bans at the ready once again for Grosjean, who was close to tears when he spoke to reporters in Japan. The French-language RMC wondered if Grosjean's entire career could be in peril. But for now, Boullier is defending his driver. "Even Schumacher had a lot of crashes at the start of his career," he said. "But everyone in the team is frustrated, me included." The RMC Sport report said that Grosjean should be able to hang on to his seat for 2013, given that Lotus' most important sponsor, Total, also staunchly backs the 2011 GP2 champion. The report also said that Lotus' contract 'option' to retain Grosjean in 2013 expires the day after Sunday's Korean Grand Prix. "Before Japan, there was no doubt that this clause would be effected," the report read. Now, the priority is simply to get Grosjean back on track. "You can change anything you want in the environment around him, but in the end it is he who must learn to control the pressure," said Boullier. And that pressure has ramped up to fever-pitch, with mere days before Grosjean must make yet another race-start. "He has a lot of talent and could achieve great things," French former F1 driver Olivier Panis said. "But it's not going to pay off in the long term if he keeps behaving like that." British Sky television commentator Martin Brundle added: "His judgement is clearly wrong in close combat and I don't know what he can do about it. "You can't consciously start making decisions [at the start of a race]. And then when you start getting tense about that, it's all the more likely to happen." Subbed by AJN.

Romain did nothing wrong on this one, for one these ugly big frontwings also caused alonso's DNF (which was his fault also). Webber slowed down and pulled too much to the right (maybe to help Vettel run away?!). Also after Monza race ban he was the one to say to Romain it was a harsh decision and made a joke about sneakers and running afterwards. But at the Singapore start Webber and Rosberg (barbie) went straight to romain to push him in a mistake, 2 big fat losers and under achievers. Romain is faster than both of them in quali, he has the right to be on this grid (certainly if Maldonado and Hamilton are allowed). Rewatch the Singapore start folks and look at Webber, that is a rookie start!!! Romain is an easy scapegoat, that's all he must stop appoligizing for things he didn't do on purpose. The Spa incident was his fault but would have been less severe if hamilton went of the throttle when he was in the Ferrari's back, which he did'nt do!!!! (same as Solberg in WRC France this weekend, nobody's whining about him, and he almost killed a few people including his codriver) Yeah and Brundle, what did he achieve besides winning Le Mans once, Romain did win it in GT class with a Ford GT too and he was GP2 champ by a big margin. In Japan it was Webber's fault and Alonso was also to blame on his crash (i'm Ferrari supporter for 27 years!, at the time of the incident I get up in my couch and yelled "Alonso you doosh what are you doing, throwing your championship away"). Also these ugly frontwings are way too ugly and too large (and without them both incidents wouldn't have happened). Remember Hamilton riding on the backwheel of Alonso's car in Bahrain in his rookie years, nobody gave him a ban, even not in 2011 where was even a worse torpedo than Pastor. Schumi torpedo's 3 times someone in the ass, no ban's here. I'm a Schumi fan, don't get me wrong, but FIA decisions are too irregular. (Alonso showed on sunday why he shouldn't be compared to shumi, vettel on the other hand will beat all the records 100% certain I hope to see him at Ferrari verry soon!) John I'd have to defend Grosjean and say this was more of a racing incident. Webber slowed down, as is his right to, and Grosjean didn't have a chance to slow himself. Worse was Alonso deliberately pushing Kimi off the track! Once again Alonso doesn't have a problem pushing others off, but doesn't seem to like it when similar is done to him! fsdsdgsdg John, completely agree as a Ferrari fan. They should put Kimi and Vettel in their cars, Alonso missed his chance in 2010, Kimi took his chance in 2007. Monty should never have ousted him. And to Red Bull, you should put Romain in Webber's car so Vettel would have some competition in quali. Webber can't even be vice champ in the best (most of the time illegal) car of the grid. Vettel's titles are not due to this but to his determination and skill. Alonso and Schumi have had illegal cars too in the past, so it's apples and apples to compare. Alonso is scared of having Kimi or Seb next to him in the same car and that as a Tifosi makes me furious. Schumi in the Red Bull would eat anybody raw on this grid besides Seb. Shame he leaves us! John fsdsdgsdg, Alonso is an above average driver, but he's also a bit dirty too. He only won championships because Ferrari one year had terrible tyres and the next started with an unreliable engine. Otherwise Schmuacher would have another two titles, both with Ferrari. Certainly Alonso doesn't want another competitive driver in the same team. He demands No.1 status. Look at how much better Massa did when he wasn't subject to team orders! What's tragic is how much pressure is put on Massa to perform even though he's not given the same oportunities as Alonso. Having been sitting in the rain at Monza in a Ferrari T-Shirt I said to my friends after having watched Vettel win his first race they should snap him up rather than Alonso. He many not be quite ready, but then they'll have one of the best drivers there is for many years. One of my friends disagreed stating that Alonso would be better for Ferrari. Who was right? fsdsdgsdg John, you describe the same feeling I had at Spa, when Vettel did a majestic drive trough the field. And my friends don't seem to agree with me neither :D! They think Alonso is better than Shumi, I calle them morons every time :p. I hope we will be right, as I guess Seb will be with the Scuderia in 2014 when Kimi goes to Red Bull . Disgusted with 2012 If you look at the replays closely, you see three things. 1.) Grosjean is accelerating past Perez to his right, and is understeering severely. This means he was accelerating too early in the corner, which would have made him run very wide had Weber and Perez not been where they were. 2.) Weber was accelerating at the same pace as the cars in front of him, and away from Perez, so he was not balking or slowing in the corner at all, he was accelerating out of it. 3.) What turned Weber sideways was Grosjean sliding, with steering turned hard right, into Webers right rear wheel. Bottom line, this was Grosjean' fault again, and cause for a 10s stop and go. The problem is, as he crashes his way through the pack, he's making a mess of points standings for those he runs into stupidly.

Night waking: My baby used to sleep through the night
What are some of the causes and remedies for a change in sleeping patterns of children less than a year old? Our nine month old, formerly an all-night snoozer until six months of age, has now been waking up several times a night (yawn) at verying intervals. What gives?
p.s. he's teething, just starting to walk, and went from the breast to a formula recently.Question:

Isn't it frustrating when you feel like your night life has finally gotten back to normal with a reasonable amount of uninterrupted sleep, and then your child suddenly seems to down-gear back to waking up in the middle of the night?
Changes in sleeping patterns are extremely common in children when they become older, and quite honestly, your nine month old's story reads as if directly pulled from the textbook. As infants become more aware of their surroundings and more mobile, when they wake up in the middle of the night (as we all do but don't necessarily realize it), their awareness that mom or dad is not there becomes more acute as well. This is normal and expected as their development progresses. Therefore, it is your job to help your nine month old to learn that she can put herself back to sleep without a problem.
Strategies to employ:
- Establish a pleasant and predictable bedtime ritual.
- If your child throws a tantrum in protest of going to bed, overlook this and leave the room.
- When your child wakes up, avoid conversation, briefly tuck her back into bed, and leave the room. The object here is to make waking up and going back to sleep as boring for the child as possible, so she can learn to do it herself.
- Remember, consistency is the key, so all care providers should agree on what the strategy should be.
The fact that your child used to be an all-night snoozer is in your favor, and I anticipate with some work over the next couple of weeks, your sleep will return to a more consistently restful one as well.Answer:

An organic super food from Brazil packing a healthy dose of nutrients.
- Product: A natural berry that grows in the Amazon rain forest
- Accessibility: Online and some retailers in pill form
- Diet Type: Dietary supplement
- Gender: Male and female
Just the mention of a product coming from the Amazon has the overtones of possessing mysterious health benefits. Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Its nutritional benefits are so powerful, Dr. Nicholas Perricone lists it as one of his top 10 Super Foods at Oprah's Web site.
Studies have shown that the Acai berry is one of the more nutritious and powerful foods on the planet. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, Acai tastes like a mix of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its purple pigment is what makes it the perfect energy fruit. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. You probably won't find it in your local supermarket, but you may have better luck at health food stores, or from the many products springing up online.
The benefits of Acai are purported to be good for detoxing and maintaining optimal health for balancing your pH level. Proper pH balance is vital to our immune health and for disease prevention and correction. Other benefits you'll enjoy:
- Acai has a high concentration of antioxidants that combat premature aging. It has 10 times the antioxidants that red grapes have, and as much as 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine. Anthocyanins may have antioxidant effects, possibly fighting cancer, diabetes, and bacterial infections, to name a few.
- Healthy monounsaturated fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols together help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.
- An amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, help with muscular health.
- Research concludes that there appear to be significant benefits to Acai
- On Dr. Perricone's list of Super Foods
- Natural ingredients have disease-fighting qualities
- Increases energy
- Offers antioxidants and amino acids
- Good source of fiber
- Organic products available
- Many juices and other products available in major grocers
- Like other exotic products, Acai can be pricey
- Many imposters
Each Acai product will vary in its ingredients. Be sure to look for Acai products that are all-natural, and do not include a long list of other ingredients. Acai in its purest form is most effective.
Acai comes in many forms, including the whole berry, juices, powders, capsules and pills, food items and more.EXERCISE
Like any weight loss product, you should commit to a consistent exercise regimen. Be sure to look for Acai products that support a balanced and active lifestyle.CONCLUSION
Exotic health foods, like the Acai berry, can provide untapped health benefits, if you can afford it. For whatever reason, these organic products are often on the steep side. But what else is more important than your health? If you can find room in your budget, a product like Acai is worth exploring.Common Misspellings

The Better Business Bureau's Warnings
Those "free" 14-day trial offers for "super food" diet supplements claiming celebrity endorsements may be too good to be true, according to the Better Business Bureau.
The bureau released a statement this January warning consumers to be wary of online sales offering acai berry-related weight loss products, saying the marketing of these products is often misleading. The bureau said it has received "thousands" of complaints from consumers about online sales of acai berry products.
In a scheme called "negative option" advertising, dozens of companies nationwide offer "free" trials of acai diet products, claiming endorsements from Oprah Winfrey, Rachael Ray and others, but then charge month after month unless the consumer cancels the order, according to the bureau.
"BBB [the Better Business Bureau] can't speak to the restorative or weight-loss properties of acai-based products, but we are taking companies to task for their misleading sales and marketing practices," bureau spokesman Steve Cox said in a statement.
"Many businesses across the country are using the same selling model for their acai products: They lure customers in with claimed celebrity endorsements and free trial offers, and then lock them in by making it extremely difficult to cancel the automatic delivery of more acai products every month," he said in the release.
The endorsements are also misleading, according to the bureau, and some lawyers representing those celebrities have already gone after these online companies.
"Consumers should be aware that Oprah Winfrey is not associated with nor does she endorse any acai berry product or online solicitation of such products. Attorneys for Harpo are pursuing any companies that claim such an affiliation," said Don Halcombe, spokesman for Harpo Productions, Winfrey's production company. Rachael Ray has also complained to companies that falsely claim she has endorsed their products.
Consumers can check www.bbb.org to get a "reliability report" on particular companies before purchasing an online product.
"These companies are simply abusing general acai berry endorsements from well-known, trusted celebrities by using it as a tacit endorsement of their company and products specifically," added the bureau's Cox.
"Consumers trust Oprah and unfortunately, if they are tricked into believing that she is putting her stamp of approval on a product then they are definitely more likely to purchase it," he said.
I have been using the capsules for like 6 days now i got the one from vitamin world it has green tea....its useless it kinda curbed my appetite. it doesnt help me with #2 i have severe IBS i am constipated all the time...not to be gross... but it doesnt do anything for me! useless!! actually my mom bought one without green tea that one gives more energy!!! i bought the good one thinking it has green tea its prob better..plus the lady who works at vitamin world told me that the green tea one works better... FALSE!!!!!!!!
hey... i just got this acai trim.. im not sure about it.. i just want to lose 10 lbs or so... can anyone tell me more about it?
it sucks
I've had it for about a week now and ive seen a little result. Not much. Ive noticed ive been getting cramps alot more ever since starting these pills and you tend to have to use the restroom more than usual. Before the pills i'd go #2 about every other day. Now its like twice a day.
First, it states very clearly that this is a dietary AID, not a weight loss pill. Also, a cleanse generally means that you will spend some time in the bathroom getting all of the toxins out of your body.
Secondly, never buy anything online that can be bought easily and cheaply at your local Wal-Mart or CVS(I got mine for less than $10 at Wal-Mart).
I have been using this product for 2 months and have found it to be effective. I noticed an immediate decrease in my appetite and an increase to my energy levels. I also exercise regularly 3 times a week and eat healthy foods. With this in mind, I have in two months time lost 16 lbs. I feel great and as funny as it sounds, my skin is radiant and my hair looks glossy now. This is a huge plus after having three children, to see my body going back to something of what it was before I had them. Now I just need something that will actually work on stretch marks! I would really recommend this product to people to add it to their regular dieting routine paired with healthy eating and regular light exercise.
In Acai you get the healing power of many phytonutrients in one delicious package. There�??s no disputing the health benefits of anthocyanins and essential fatty acids. Both have proven to be powerful nutritional tools in the quest for good health. However, Acai is one food that delivers it all�??plus other healthy nutrients like fiber, phytosterols, and vitamins C and E. For centuries, it�??s been a staple for people in Brazil, yet virtually unknown to anyone outside the region�??until now. For some information you can visit this site..
this is a shame it does not work .
I would not recommend this diet. I tried it and the reason I lost weight was because it gave me such horrible diarrhea that I couldn't leave the house. I had to stop taking it.
it did not do anything like it said...very disappointed!
why are yall ordering it off the enternet??? go to the store and get it so you dont have the scams
Ryan, How can I reach you to find out what product you sell?
I bought it at cvs for 10 dollars and it has worked for me. i been just doing my daily activities and it has been working. most people at my job, were already taking it and they got results and so have i. so far withouth exercise, i have notice a real difference. believe me or not it really doesn't matter to me, but for only 10 bucks and 2 pills daily, i am seeing results in this pill more than others. i would recommend it, but hey who iam i. Just try yourself and see, you have nothing to lose but some wieght.
DECEPTION. Bought it online after reading the blog about the mother. Ordered it online. Gives sparks of energy--then ur tired ALL DAY and depressed/dragging. Works for the first week, now im GAINING WEIGHT and have massive headaches. People probably comment after the first week, but now im on my third and I am tired!! Im done with this. Its hard to get through the line and cancel. And they take forever sending emails (and the product) out to you.. scam???!! Doesnt work in the long run.
this diet worked GREAT for me.. The first couple days were tough but I continued to eat healthy and work out everyday. I lost 20 pounds and I feel amazing. Its up to you how much weight you lose by how much effort you put into this diet to get the results you are looking for!
i tried this diet and i GAINED weight. does NOT work
i started takin this product nearly a week ago, gunner weigh myself 2mora an see if its worked in any way, i will update when ive weighed myself.
Advanced Acai Complex
I'm reviewing their ad practices rather than the product itself
since I saw several obvious deceptions and offensive promotional practices I decided that such a company cannot be trusted for any of their claims
For one thing, the photo for �??Julia Miller�?� is a total fraud �?? that is a photo of prominent French TV journalist Melissa Theurieau! So this �??Julia Miller�?� character is a fraud and probably just a write-up from some marketing type. Do they really think that no one at all recognizes Melissa T.??? I guess they are counting on the ad only being viewed in the USA, but she is in lots of videos on YouTube and there is no doubt that is her photo.
Then there was the obnoxious message that tried to keep me on their page when I sought to leave their website�?�.. I detest that kind of crap. If I want to click away, do not try to hinder me, thank you.
As noted by others, this product seems exceptionally expensive compared to rival products. There seems to be no good reason I can see to pay the $79.95 per month.
Then of course the toll-free number for cancellation is quite dubious if that is the ONLY way to cancel an account. Someone noted spending HOURS trying to cancel. I distrust all these �??monthly�?� plans - if the product were really as great as advertised, why would the need to try to keep you on a tight leash? It should be easy to get and easy to get AWAY from it as you choose.
No thanks, not for me!

Got an interview for a job at an independent Sydney school, for a short term cover.
Glad to just have an interview after 5 months looking for work!
Best of luck with it. :)
Cheers :)
Good luck RabbieBurns. :) When's the interview?
Its for a maternity leave placement.. excuse my ignorance, but how long do women take for maternity leave?
Congratulations mate, all the best of luck. I'll cross my fingers for you
I think that paid Maternity leave is for 12 weeks. After that they can take non-paid leave for 12 months?? and still be guaranteed a job when they come back.
Again that is just from talking with a teacher here that is expecting in a couple of months
Around 10-12months. 1-2 Months Prior, and the rest afterwards. Three Months are paid at full pay, and here in the UK the rest is paid at Statutory Maternity Leave Pay, think its around 65-75% of full wage.
Good look with the interview.
Glad you didnt stay up, its taken me till now to get back on here. Was up so early for the interview (5am, it was about a 1.5hr commute to the interview - ill need to move if I get the job) and by the time I got back it was still only 10am so went and spent the whole day at the beach (:D)
Anyway, I think it went OK. They liked that I had previous school experience, and also having worked in a school in australia before (albiet as a 17yr old on GAP).
I was open and honest about only being available for 6months (visa limit unfortunately) but they seemed OK with that...
They didnt ask me if I had any questions at the end, not sure if thats a bad sign that they had seen enough and just wanted me out..
But it was good to finally get an interview at least after the many applications i sent out in the last couple of weeks.
Perhaps they could extend your Visa? Hopefully you get the job, good luck with that o/
And isn't it Spring over there now? What temp was it yesterday? :(
I hope I can get a visa extension :P
today was 25C... hotter than a scottish summer...

A Basic Formula for Fermenting Vegetables
Many people find that the hardest part of fermenting vegetables is getting started. Because we have spent decades in the mindset that bacteria are bad and pasteurization is good, wrapping our heads around the concept of fermentation in the first place is half the battle.
At its very basic level, fermentation is controlled decomposition. Instead of allowing food to go straight to spoilage we introduce a preservation element such as salt, whey, or a starter culture, which directs food towards fermentation rather than rot.
The Basics of Fermented Vegetables
Vegetable fermentation happens through an anaerobic system in which the naturally occurring lactobacilli of the food create lactic acid. This acid then preserves and protects the food, because what is known as "bad bacteria" cannot exist in an acidic environment.
With that in mind, these are the conditions that must be created in order for vegetables to lacto-ferment:
Once the conditions necessary to produce lacto-fermentation are understood, any number of vegetables may be fermented through two techniques: self-brine or added brine.
Self-brined Fermented Vegetables
Vegetables that are fresh and have not been dried out can actually create their own brine when salt is introduced. Salt naturally draws the water out of vegetables, thereby creating a natural brine.
The main thing to keep in mind when making a self-brined fermented vegetable is that the vegetables have to be shredded into fine pieces. The increased surface area created by grating or finely slicing vegetables allows the salt to penetrate the vegetable and draw out larger amounts of liquid.
Examples of this type of fermented vegetable include sauerkraut, grated carrots with ginger, or a grated zucchini relish.
Added-brine Fermented Vegetables
Not every vegetable shines when it is finely diced or shredded. Many vegetables, like cucumbers, cry out to be left whole or in larger chunks. In this case, added brine is a better method.
For a vegetable like cucumbers, carrots, or zucchini, cut into large chunks. Simply adding salt to these large pieces of vegetables would never produce enough liquid to submerge the vegetables underneath the brine.
A separate salt brine must be created, one that you can pour over these larger vegetable chunks, in order to maintain the anaerobic environment necessary for the lactic acid to proliferate.
A good rule of thumb for a brine is 1-3 tablespoons of sea salt to 1 quart of water. This brine can be used to cover any number of vegetables: cucumbers, peppers, tomato chunks, celery, carrots, garlic, onions, and just about anything else from the garden or market.
This method is often preferred because the preparation of the vegetables tends to go a lot faster. Shredding vegetables can seem tedious when one could simply prepare a brine and pour it over chopped vegetables.
The method of preparing fermented vegetables is entirely a matter of personal taste. Even cabbage, which forms the ubiquitous sauerkraut, can be left in large wedges if preferred.
Choose both methods, to experience a wide variety of textures and flavors. Variation keeps meals and snacks interesting and makes preparing fermented vegetables more flexible.

One-Time LA Hopeful is Now 'The Singing Film Critic'
When Alex Thaler came to LA in the late 1990s to try his luck as an actor, it went the way it does for most Tinseltown hopefuls. Though he did audition for the occasional commercial, the bulk of his paid professional activities involved waiting tables at a now-defunct Pizzeria Uno's on Santa Monica Blvd.
During this time, Thaler also started to get more serious about composing music, and thirteen years later, he has launched a funny, squeaky YouTube sock puppet character, Leland, a.k.a. "The Singing Film Critic." Check out his clever rhyming take on J.J. Abrams' Super 8:

What is a Dilapidation Survey?
A Dilapidation's Survey is a detailed survey that records the condition of any aspect of the building fabric and its services due to wear and tear including things such staining on floors, walls and ceilings. These Surveys are usually requested prior to letting to new tenants or concluding or terminating a contract.
The Dilapidation Survey will provide a detailed assessment on a room by room basis covering:
A risk assessment is also undertaken which gives a score for the Severity of the and Probability.
Key Benefits
1. Firstly this confirms whether maintenance contracts have been carried out in accordance with the contract.
2. The survey can form the basis to renegotiate maintenance contracts when the actual condition of the building fabric and services is established.
3. Confirms the precise condition of a building prior to changes or sub-letting.
As with a standard survey, the dilapidation survey will be undertaken throughout the building ensuring that each room is thoroughly considered. The Surveyor will ensure that he has made entries against, and where applicable taken digital photographs of, each of the following subjects in each room:
|Doors and Frames
|Light Fittings
|IT and Communications
|Wall Fans
|Grilles and Diffusers
|Plant and equipment
|Mechanical and Electrical Services
The report that is created details condition and associated risk assessment of each entry, offering budget costs to ensure the client can prioritise any remedial work that is required.
It is not uncommon for the Surveyor to include rankings for each item requiring remedial action, scoring each entry between 1 and 3 (or not inspected).
Condition 1 – No Repair Required | Condition 2 – Defects need Repair but are not Serious | Condition 3 – Defects are Serious.
Some common questions asked are:
When do I need a dilapidations survey?
It is usual to undertake the Survey prior to the signing of a lease. The survey will confirm the condition of the property at the time of taking up the lease and offer an indication of any work that may be required either immediately or potentially in the future. It is vital for any tenant to understand when signing the lease that during the term of the lease, regular or planned maintenance will avoid greater expense when the lease is terminated.
What if the property is already in a state of disrepair?
In most instances any tenant with a commercial lease is required to ensure that property is kept in good repair, unless they have a specific agreement with their landlord. Indeed, the fact that the property was in a poor condition when the lease was signed is irrelevant; you have to ensure that they are put right at the end of the lease period. The best advice is to negotiate a lower premium to compensate you for the costs that you will face to refurbish the property or to repair at the end.
An alternative is to agree with the landlord that the premises can be returned at the end of the lease in a condition similar to the state in which they were received. In the event that the landlord agrees to this, it is then prudent to get a schedule of condition undertaken by a Building Surveyor and attached to the lease.
Is the landlord key to dilapidations?
It is important to understand that landlords do not generally serve dilapidation claims earlier than three years prior to the completion of the lease. The tenant may have a statutory right to apply for a new lease and it is unlikely in this scenario that a Landlord will serve a dilapidations claim. Once a tenant has indicated a likeliness to not renew, then the Landlord is well within his rights (as determined by the lease) to serve notice of dilapidations.
What if alterations have been made to the property?
This scenario is dependent upon the terms of lease and any license (consent) that the Landlord may have granted for the alternations to be undertaken.
By granting consent for alterations the landlord probably required that at the end of the lease the tenant restored the property back to its original state (if requested to do so). If the Landlord feels the alterations have added value then he will no doubt allow these to remain in place. If the landlord feels that the alterations have devalued the property, they will probably require that the property be reinstated at the completion of the lease or pay the associated cost.
The exception is if neither the lease nor the license for alterations gives the landlord the option of requesting reinstatement.
Do I have to accept the landlords dilapidations claim in full?
Simply put no. The tenant does not have to accept a Dilapidation without taking professional advice for a Building Surveyor or Solicitor. In some instances the cost may have been inflated or the claim may include items which are not valid. It is also possible that the landlord may intend to demolish the therefore claims for monies to reinstate will not be granted.
What if a compromise can't be reached with the landlord?
If this where to be the case then it is likely that the tenant would have a good defence at law to the claim. If an agreement cannot be reached, the landlord had recourse to the courts but this is a slow and expensive process. Both sides can incur heavy costs and in general the Landlords will avoid this scenario if they can. As mentioned above, consult with a solicitor as well as your building surveyor. In a court hearing your building surveyor will be able to act as an expert witness on your behalf.
