Any entrepreneur is obsessed with what drives business. But it's also worth contemplating what that business should drive. For startups especially, the right car isn't merely a means of getting around, it's a tool to enhance operations. Is it a mobile office? Is it part of your marketing team? Figure out where you car fits in your business plan, and we'll steer you through the options.
My Car Is My Corner Office
Hands-free Bluetooth phone systems let you jaw away with clients but keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Once a rarity, Bluetooth is available as an option on most makes and models, and it's standard on luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz, and tech-oriented models, including the soon-to-be-released Chevrolet Volt. The best systems include a microphone built in to the driver's seat for talking and tap into the car's stereo speakers for listening.
One of the most sophisticated, and low-cost, Bluetooth systems is Ford's Sync, which debuted in 2007. Continually updated, Sync recently added a feature called AppLink that provides hands-free access to three apps: Pandora Internet radio; Stitcher, a program that stitches together radio news feeds; and OpenBeak, to access Twitter feeds. Ford will add other popular apps to Sync later this year.
In addition to Bluetooth, many new cars come outfitted with USB ports to accommodate iPods and other electronics. Some vehicles, such as the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, can even be turned into Wi-Fi hotspots with a factory option called UConnect and play live television on the dashboard screen using the optional Flo TV.
Startup: Ford Fiesta ($13,320). The 2011 Fiesta shows off Ford's cutting-edge mobile technology at a bargain-basement price. High mileage (40 mpg highway) and luxury options (such as heated leather seats and moon roof) can fancy up this car without a lot of extra cash. No wonder it's the bestselling small car in Europe.
In the black: Cadillac CTS ($38,165). One of J.D. Power and Associates' highest-ranked premium cars in initial quality, the CTS is equipped with General Motors' OnStar system, which not only enables hands-free calling but also automatically dials for help after a crash.
After the IPO: Mercedes-Benz E550 ($57,100). Mercedes-Benz elevates its Bluetooth system with an enhanced voice-control feature that screens out "ahs" and "ums" and understands colloquial speech like "yeah" for "yes."
My Car Is My Green Statement
Until a few years ago, green business owners had limited options to align their transport with their philosophy. It was biodiesel or a small handful of electric-gasoline hybrids. But the options have multiplied. There's so-called "clean," or ultralow-sulfur, diesel, which is 25 percent to 40 percent more fuel efficient than gasoline and reduces greenhouse gases commensurately.
Before the end of the year, the first mass-market plug-in electrics will be on sale, too: the Nissan Leaf (a pure electric) and the Chevrolet Volt (an electric with a backup gas-powered generator).
Compressed natural gas, or CNG, vehicles emit half the greenhouse gases of gasoline-powered cars and are being used more for fleets. Waiting in the wings: Hydrogen-fueled cars, which may be the cleanest of all (especially if the hydrogen is produced using solar power). The first mass-market hydrogen cars won't come on the market until 2015, though some, such as the Honda Clarity, are already available for lease in parts of California.
Finally, there are hybrids. The Toyota Prius is the bestseller of the bunch and boasts the highest fuel economy of any car on the market (51 mpg city, 48 mpg highway), but other options include a new sporty, hybrid coupe from Honda called the CR-Z, which averages 37 mpg.
Startup: Toyota Yaris ($12,605). The fuel-efficient and inexpensive subcompact runs on regular gasoline. But what it lacks in sophisticated green technology, it makes up for in fuel efficiency (36 highway, 29 city) and dependability. Everything about it says, "Waste not, want not."
In the black: Audi A3 Diesel ($29,950). Diesel passenger cars aren't nearly as popular in the U.S. as in Europe, mostly because there are fewer models available and the fuel isn't found at every filling station. The fuel is also usually more expensive than 87-octane gas, but the extra pennies per gallon pay off in added fuel economy. The Audi A3 diesel gets42 mpg highway, 30 city.
After the IPO: Chevrolet Volt ($41,000, or $33,500 after applying the $7,500 federal tax credit). The Volt offers an elegant solution to the range anxiety all-electric plug-ins pose for some drivers. Its 40-mile all-electric range will cover most commutes. But it can also use a gas generator to recharge its batteries on the go.
My Car Is My Taxi Driver
Need something to steer you in the right direction? A top-flight navigation system, or GPS, will be critical. There are plenty of after-market options, including in-dash units that replace the stereo, and portable units from Garmin, TomTom and others. Although portables cost less and are more easily updated with the help of a PC, built-ins have advantages: The screens are typically larger and easier to see while driving. The voice-activated features are also well integrated with the car's Bluetooth or stereo systems. Higher-end nav systems, such as the NavTraffic system used by Porsche, have nicer displays, larger memories for destinations and can link together multi-stop routes. The downside is that built-in systems are pricey and drivers have to go to a dealer to update their map software.
Ford's Sync system skirts the update issue by leveraging drivers' phones. Using Google Maps, drivers can e-mail a destination to their phone; the car then coordinates that data with the car's GPS receiver to provide spoken directions in real time and display them in text on a small, in-dashboard screen. The screen isn't four-color and it doesn't show a map, but the system is always as up to date as Google Maps.
Startup: Portable Garmin Nuvi ($449.99) in your existing car. Comes with subscription-free traffic alerts.
In the black: Honda Accord EX-L ($28,830): The ubiquitous Accord is one of the bestselling cars in the U.S. The more premium EX-L model can be outfitted with satellite-linked navigation that can be operated with voice commands.
After the IPO: Porsche 911 ($77,800): Sporty and reliable, classic and classy, the 911 offers NavTraffic as an option.
My Car Is My Limousine
Today's luxury cars do everything short of driving themselves. Their ignitions roar to life with the push of a remote. Their transmissions can be operated in multiple modes--and moods--to suit the driver's whim. They elevate traditional amenities: memorizing seat and steering wheel positions, automatically opening and closing the trunk or doors, wicking water from passenger windows. Who needs Jeeves?
On many premium models, the leather isn't just buttery, it's embossed. The interior trims are from trees you never knew existed, like the moonwood used by Maserati. Climate systems control the humidity as well as the temperature. Sound systems come with 20 speakers. The seats aren't only heated, they're also air conditioned. Front seats in 2011 model Jaguars offer a massage feature.
Then there's the performance: 500-plus horsepower you'd be a fool to use but can brag about, or neck-snapping torque you'd only demo if you like police attention.
Startup: Acura TL ($38,835). Nice looking and fun to drive. The TL's premium stereo system has a hard drive that automatically records CDs.
In the black: Lexus LS 460 ($66,865). Leather seats, LED interior lights, power sunshades--and 24/7 emergency assistance.
After the IPO: Mercedes-Benz S550 ($91,600): Take luxury and add more: A 7-, rather than 6-speed transmission, panoramic (i.e. two) sunroofs, a video screen in the rear seat as well as the front.
My Car Is My Delivery Truck
A handful of small, affordable delivery trucks are on the market. The problem is, you probably don't want to drive any of them socially. Your date might admire your entrepreneurialism but balk at valet parking your van at Spago. If your delivery vehicle isn't also your daily driver, the Ford Transit Connect is an excellent and economical option that provides good cargo capacity (135 cubic feet) and payload (1,600 pounds) with respectable fuel economy (25 highway, 22 city). Nissan's new NV2500 HD and NV3500 HD feature cargo holds that are tall enough to stand in.
Otherwise, multi-use vehicles, aka minivans such as the Dodge Caravan and Toyota Sienna, offer plenty of space to carry pallets of organic baby food or vases of fresh flowers. Most minivans aren't so mini. They carry about 140 cubic feet.
Startup: Ford Transit Connect ($21,185). Ford's low-cost workhorse can be customized to operate with alternative fuels, such as compressed natural gas, liquid propane gas, even an electric motor and batteries.
In the black: Honda Element ($21,775). This SUV is used mostly by the mommy set, but its rear seats can be removed, and the rubber mats are easy to clean. Side doors open toward each other for easy loading.
After the IPO: You'll no longer drive your delivery truck.

Collaborating for Competitiveness
These seven aerospace shops prove that blurring the line between competitor and collaborator can benefit all involved—if it's done right.
Tool Management Drives Process Standardization
From incoming order to final delivery, this aerospace component manufacturer strives to eliminate process variables. Airtight control of cutting tool inventory is critical to that effort.
"Right-Sized" Machine for Structural Aerospace Parts
This five-axis machine offers a compact footprint and atypical automated pallet changing system for small, yet challenging aerospace structural components.
Composites Technology at F-35 Suppliers Conference
A recent conference highlighted composites milling equipment as well as a new seven-axis fiber-placement machine specifically designed for the tricky material used to create critical F-35 components.
Adapting to Aerospace Change
The changing demands of aerospace companies have prompted machine shops such as this one to evolve their processes and equipment to become more competitive.
Savings from Sustainability
A project aimed at energy-efficient machining delivered production efficiencies, too.
Consistency Is Key to Titanium
An important part of this shop's successful approach to titanium machining is a toolpath strategy that keeps the load on the cutter constant. Another important element is the way this shop captures and reapplies what it learns about how effective it...
Lean from the Beginning
How would you design a new plant if you could begin today? Rolls-Royce Crosspointe is a major manufacturing site that was planned from the outset with the expectation that continuous improvement would always be part of its culture.
The Future of Manufacturing
According to engineers with GE Aviation, the challenges of additive metal manufacturing—serious as they are—are small compared to the promise that this technology holds. How else can you make a plane engine 1,000 pounds lighter?
TRAM3 Conference Focuses on Aerospace Manufacturing
The two-day conference at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) addresses topics and concerns important to manufacturers that serve the aerospace industry. Boeing and Rolls-Royce are the lead sponsors.

What I do find odd is why is Scott Rudin the one responding to this (and in such an inarticulate and douchey way)? I'd never let that happen on my watch.
I don't know- speaking as a publicist, a writer breaking an embargo is a big deal. You give them stuff early and they agree not to publish before a certain date. That's the business contract. I'd be HUGELY pissed if a journalist broke an embargo we agreed to. And as a former film publicist, a lot of effort and coordination goes into the release of a film. You want a big blitz when the movie opens. If all the PR happens a month beforehand, it can really affect the buzz about the film once it's finally in theaters.

Like most states, Arizona finances its public schools through the application of complex formulas, some of which depend on enrollment and some of which rely upon categories of spending. One result of this many-layered approach is an inability to easily determine how much money is tied to a single student in a single district or how school and district balance sheets are affected as students move around the state. In times like these, when education dollars are increasingly scarce, it is imperative that parents, educators, and policymakers understand what we are paying for and getting in return.
This analysis examines Arizona's education funding formulas and offers suggestions for how they might be improved. Specifically, this examination finds:
- Arizona school districts received an average of $9,563 in total revenue per pupil during the 2006-07 school year. That sum is drawn from numerous sources and formulas.
- On average, $6,000 per student of education funding comes from the state and follows the student in the move to a new district. The state could give parents discretion over $5,000 in state funding with minimal impact to the state budget.
- Per-student funding at the district level would actually increase if 10 percent of parents took advantage of the $5,000 voucher to opt out of Arizona public schools.
- Accountability and transparency in the financing of education would be improved by allowing tax dollars to follow students.

How about an upgraded or reinvention of the Country Bear Jamboree???
How about an upgraded or reinvention of the Country Bear Jamboree???
WDWRadio Cruise : Deck 8 is great!
"Almost there!"
"Keep moving forward!"
CBJ has to stay due to being in Frontierland. I absolutely hate Monsters Inc. I like Stitch but I think they just about used all they can out of the building. After its done they need to tear it down and start with a fresh sheet of paper.
Why should the Hall of presidents go? It shouldn't!
But I'll tell you why you feel that way.Because you,and too many more thousands of people,have no concern nor desire to be educated in our country's history and the significant events of our country's past!These days,too many in this youngest generation and many in the generation prior to this one,doesn't seem to care at all about historical events,past presidents,historical turning-points in our country's short lifetime.
All they want is their stupid I-pods,Mp3s,computers and all things that are sending this country on a downward spiral to destruction!
There is no respect for the things of the past,no regard for life,and no respect for themselves.
Yeah,you got me on my soapbox with this post!
Why does it have to be this way?Why can't people have respect for not only things of the past,but others as well?
It's not just the Hall of Presidents here that I am talking about.Yes it should stay,because it represents what America should be,and not what it is.Yes I know we had slavery in the past,but that does not mean that it was right!It wasn't!Abraham Lincoln said it well,"All men are created equal".But if the Hall of Presidents is taken out,then we might as well take away everything that this country was founded upon.Freedom,and equality.
I could go on and on,but I won't! I've made my point.
Lastly,if people don't get a rebirthed interest and desire to become more educated in our country's past,what it is founded upon,and see what is happening in our government today;then before we know it,this country will become another "government-controlled" nation,and by then it may be too late to do anything about it!
I have now stepped off of my soapbox.
Park Hopper Dad!
I totally agree with the above post. Disney has been "dumbing things down" for years.
Think of what Epcot used to be compared to what it is now. It's too bad they seem to be focusing on a market that has a 20 second attention span.
Once again I love all the parks. The Hall of Presidents is still a great venue, wish it would reopen in June instead of July so we could visit it. Now my hubby listens to all the news & history shows. Where as I am totally Disney. But I do watch world news or check out the web sites. The tv ones are to repeatable on the news only need to hear it once.
You really hate Monsters, Inc.? Wow thats a fave of mine in MK. I'm 43 and have 18 and 16 year old kids. We all love it. We always text in jokes and try to sit close to "that guy" to bug him during or after the show. Maybe we are enterained easily. On our last trip we visited this attraction at least 4 times a day.
I say Stitch is the worst.
I wish Stitch had been an option too... I really think that's just gotta go.
I'm not surprised to see no votes for TTA yet. Isn't TTA one of those things that just can never go? It's great... never a line, yet you see so much of Disney while you're on it. And with young children, it's great for helping them take a nap.
I think Hall of Presidents is a necessity for our American heritage... and it's pleasantly air conditioned. I feel similarly about CoP...
I voted to lose Country Bear Jamboree... while I like the air conditioning on a hot day, I also just feel like it's a little out-dated and not good enough to be a classic. I'd probably like to see something a little newer in the space, even if it is another show... just off the top of my head, how about a show starring Woody? Fitting for Frontierland, and his buddy Buzz already has a place on the other side of the park... maybe there's something else too. The imagineers are talented, and I trust they'd figure out something good.

I agree with you about Monsters.We have only seen it once but we loved it.We saw it in '07.I just turned 50 and I have two girls 15 and 17 and we went to WDW for 10 yrs in a row from '98 to '07.I lost my job and we could not go in '08.I hope we can again here in '09.
As for stitch,I agree with you about that.It has to be absolutely one of the worst attractions that I have ever seen at WDW,along with its big brother,the Alien Encounter.So let's take a dead attraction and add this character that looks like "death warmed over",and twist it around a bit and re-open it as a stitch encounterWOW-WEE! Aren't we smart imagineers!We're too stupid to create a new attraction with a very cool theme like "Meet the Robinsons". Now that would be an awesome attraction! I love that movie.
Or create a Horizons type attraction like what used to be at Epcot,until they decided they wanted to tear it down and fabricated a story(lie),that there was sinkhole under the Horizons building and it had to go!And they expect the public to believe that! If there was a sinkhole under that building,it would not have stood as long as it did.Get out of your imagineery world people.
Bottom line,Stitch should go,and I'll be glad when it does.
I love WDW,but not stitch.So there.
Park Hopper Dad!
All of these need to stay. What needs to go is the Tomorrowland Speedway
Yes, I think this way too. I really hate the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway. This ride has nothing in common with Disney. It´s really noisy and if you walk from Tomorrowland to Mickey´s Toontown Fair along the Speedway tracks, it stinks even from far away. I don´t like the Monster Inc. attraction too, even though it´s funny
The attractions above need to stay, but if I would have to vote, I would choose the Country Bear Jamboree.
...find the dream inside of you and always let your conscience be your guide...take the dream with you where ever you may go
small world that music.

'Tristan Banks books are really funny and I love them! My favourite book that he made was My life and other stuff I made up. In fact I was at his writers workshop at Warrigal Road State school. I definitely recommend his books for everyone.' -BJ, reader.

The subjects (awkward encounters, girls, gross bodily functions, eating) were also all too familiar to me. Whether it was a panicked list about an operation, escaping false teeth or a drawing of a floating poo, it all felt disturbingly normal. Obviously it was the same for Tom!

The Nevis Range Ski Centre, four miles northeast of Fort William at Torlundy, is situated on the mountain of Aonach Mhor (4,006 ft). It's Scotland's highest skiing and snowboarding area and has the longest ski season, running from Christmas to May. It also boasts the country's only cable-car system, built in 1989. The 1 mile gondola ride is a popular attraction not only with skiers and snowboarders in the winter but also during the summer off-season period, when it's used by hill walkers to gain easy access to the mountains.
For most tourists, though, it's an easy way to climb to over 2,000 ft and enjoy the wonderful views from the terrace of the self-service restaurant at the top. There are ski and snowboarding schools and also a dry slope for summer skiing in July and August (open Sunday-Thursday 1100-1230).

Marvel Industries announces two new undercounter refrigerators with MicroSentry, a new temperature monitoring system with digital touchpad control and LED readout. While most refrigeration displays show only the user's dialed-in temperature, the new MicroSentry-enabled refrigerators display the actual real-time temperature of the refrigerator contents. Utilizing digital control technology, the new refrigerators adjust to meet the user setting, calculate the difference between the setting and actual temperature, and adjust cooling accordingly. This new level of digital control is integral to ensuring quality food storage and flavor in kitchens where units are in continual use and opened frequently.
The 15-inch model features three fully adjustable interior shelves; the 24-inch model offers an open design with two tempered glass shelves, allowing for the storage of large items, including 18-inch deli trays and party platters.
Both undercounter refrigerators with MicroSentry are available with three door shelves that neatly hold smaller items, plus a full-wrap door with a recessed gasket. Both models can be ordered with a full overlay, white, black or stainless steel door. |

Played a quest the other evening with some friends, and we got into an argument over the wording of the Guard's behavior after activation in the 2nd encounter.
I don't have the rules in front of me, but the text in the questbook said something akin to "after activation, guards move to the nearest monster and attack". The interpretation of this line led for some rather manic kamakazee charges by the guards, and it became impossible for the heroes to protect them. Meanwhile, the winged boss monster just sat in one of the guard houses, protected by a wall of monsters. It became a brutally impossible scenario after about the 2nd turn.
Is there something that was overlooked in the rules that would prevent this? I do understand that some adventures tend to give the advantage to one side or the other, but this seemed a bit hopeless from the get-go. What have been your experiences with this part of the quest?

Known basic tech specs of AMC-16 (24 tpns 36 MHz) would you present a combination of 8PSK/DVB-S2 parameters (SR and FEC) what will provide such enormous bandwidth [75 Mbps] for one transponder ? Please.(2) DVB-S2 transponders at ~75 Mbps each for a total of 150 Mbps.
Posted 10 January 2010 - 09:25 PM
At the booth presentation song & dance, they said that the HD Media Receiver would have 3 OTA tuners for recording or viewing OTA programming. But at least I got a T-shirt.It says "Broadcast programming", how does that work?
BTW, I didn't write about XStream because I figured correctly that some of the more fervent HD fans here would handle it. Sounds to me like they're pitching to an upscale, HD picture quality-sensitive client base. Will there be enough folks like that who won't get a Blu-ray or internet-based home theater setup?
I've got the spec sheets for the HD Media Server, HD Media Receiver, and Pro Media Receiver if anyone wants to see them. As far as I can tell, they're about the same as those available here: http://www.xstreamhd...aresources.html.

Umm ? What is your relation between Msps and Mbps ?Are you saying that 30.0 Msps with 8/9 FEC using 8PSK-DVBS2 is not possible?
Why you lowered number ? In prev post it was much high:
(2) DVB-S2 transponders at ~75 Mbps each for a total of 150 Mbps.
Posted 01 February 2010 - 01:44 PM
Mbps = Mega bits per second (as in data measurement)
30 MSPS * 3 bits per symbol (for 8PSK) * 8/9 FEC * 188/204 (Reed Solomon) ~ 75 Mbps
Posted 01 February 2010 - 03:22 PM
OK, it's time to find real numbers from AMC-16.
Posted 08 February 2010 - 07:23 PM
"30 MSPS * 3 bits per symbol (for 8PSK) * 8/9 FEC * 188/204 (Reed Solomon) ~ 75 Mbps".
Max levels at :
11804,V,DVB-S,21500 - ~33 mbps [ESM]
12147,V,??????,30000 (my cards can not lock to it as DVB-S or DVB-S2 or DC-II !)
11997,H,DVB-S2,24000 - ~40 mbps [AOL]
12030,H,DVB-S2,24000 - ~46 mbps [AOL]
I don't see how you would accumulate 2x75 Mbps and 150 Mbps total.
And remember - the sat is FSS, ie low powered.

So this year was an outstanding year for Buckeyes (and other Nymphalids!). But my snapdragons got no hits -- neither eggs nor cats, AFAICT.
*sniff* Is there anything I should know about varieties or species? Thanks,
Follow-Up Postings:
I've had loads of them here nectaring this season Jeff, but I don't have any Snaps or any idea of what they were laying on. Sorry I can't help. I can sympathize though! :o) |
Jeff, I am in Severna Park which is reasonably close to you and I had great luck this year with snapdragons from Lowe's. I can identify them by the Lowe's tag as being Antirrhinum majus. Being one of the most cold tolerant of the annuals, they were available on the first of April which allowed lots of time for them to develop before the Buckeyes showed up. I had two colors...pink and yellow, and the pinks were better than the yellows...perhaps just a coincidence. Bob |

Call it beginner's luck, but I am overrun with Buckeye cats. How, you ask, do I know this? Because last year I attempted to grow Toadflax, Linaria purpurea and L. purpurea 'Alba' as a cut flower crop. My original strategy was to raise the seedlings in my greenhouse, then field grow and harvest the cut flowers to sell to local florists. Well the buckeyes had other plans! They gobbled several hundred robust plants to the ground. At that time I didn't know what I was dealing with...all I knew was that some pest devoured my dream. I would rid myself of this scourge, even if it meant handpicking the buggers off one by one. Off I went with a sample of the culprits to my Ag agent, who identified them as Buckeye cats. Well that was somewhat of a relief....but I was without a crop. Time for plan 'B'. I ditched the Linaria and opted to grow Cockscomb, which proved a wise choice. Then I started thinking, "How can I make this work for me?" I did my homework and discovered that Bucs in the wild eat Plantain species, a common WEED of lawns and roadsides. So I now line the walkway to my house in Narrow-leaved Plantain, Plantago lanceolata... my hubby has grown accustomed to my quirks and is now won over. Best of all, we have a constant supply of Buckeyes in all stages of life. This year, I have taken it a step further--I now offer a six-pack of plantains loaded with eggs for sale at my local farmers market. I can't keep up with the demand. So-- my advice to all who wish to raise buckeyes is easy--simply plant some weeds in your garden! |

Jeff, I always have some snapdragons around, and only one year did the Buckeyes lay eggs on them and eat them to the ground. Maybe there is something else they like better that grows in your neck of the woods. That's what I tell myself. I also have the plantain they are supposed to like. Nada. No Buckeye joy here, either. Sandy |
- Posted by misssherry Z8/9MS (My Page) on Tue, Oct 5, 10 at 11:42
I'll probably try snapdragons again, even though they didn't use the ones I planted before. Down here, they use Agalinis fasciculata almost exclusively, a roadside plant. Which reminds me, I need to check the roadsides! Sherry |
I read some place on this forum about them using Veronica. I had just planted this plant last year. Lo and Behold one evening around 7 PM, I found the Veronica and the English Plantain that was growing beside it covered with caterpillars. The Buckeyes will do a bit of hiding during the day. I guess the early bird gets the worm, so the Buckeyes duck for cover and eat mostly at night. |
So I now line the walkway to my house in Narrow-leaved Plantain Hey, I tried that, too. Common Plantain, actually -- I sold it to my wife as "poor man's Hosta." But two years and, and we agreed that it just didn't work well, so I pulled it out. Jeff |
Hey y'all, Where does a person find some of that Narrow leaved Plantain? I want some of that if it'll grow here. Aren't we funny coveting weeds? LOLOL |

Implementing Patient Engagement Principles in Meaningful Use Stage 2 That Will Help Meet Meaningful Use Stage 3
One of the core components in the second phase of Meaningful Use regulations was the need to actively engage patients in their health. The use of health information technology is a mechanism for patients to view their medical information in order to become more educated and empowered consumers of health. The eHealth Initiative, in conjunction with Healthwise, one of the national leaders in patient engagement, will present a 90 minute webinar discussion how the principles of patient engagement in phase 2 of Meaningful Use, will help prepare providers to meet the upcoming challenges with stage 3.

I got my kit pronto. I did order it 10 minutes after I saw the info commercial and discovered that if I paid for it all at once, I got it shipped immediately, otherwise it would take 4 weeks. So, I paid for it all at once.
The kit is complex, but that is because you must take the time to custom make your program according to your body type. I have done a lot of programs, and this seems to emcompass all the things that I found good in the others and ties them all together. For example, body types: I do believe one diet can't work on all body types. FOr this, I give the makeover an A + . Smart exercising is another. I don't believe it is necessary, in fact, for me, I know it is counterproductive, to work out at a gym every day. Again, the six weeks program supports that. Only 18 minutes 2-3 times a week in your home. Again, A+ . Eating plan. Well, we had to pay somewhere. It is going to take thought and preparation. I don't think it is user-friendly for a fast-paced lifestyle. However, I've decided that I'm worth the time and effort. I also think that this is a no-nonsense way to get into shape quickly, and once you are there, you can eat things that are not on the program. I have been on the eating portion for 3 days, they say you can go on the eating plan first, then the exercise plan. I have lost 3 lbs. It could be water, but I'm eating so much and drinking so much I wonder. I am not starving that is for sure. They said you'd notice things happening almost immediately. Well, I swear I do. My body is starting to change. I would like to keep in touch with some of you to see how things are going with you. How do I do that? Also, they gave a website address: www.providacorp.com. Also, you might try looking up Michael Thurmond on the net, the creator of the program. I'm from LA and he is real and very effective, but expensive if you go to his place and do it. Anyway, I hope I've been helpful. Be patient and give it a try. |

Hi! I have nothing but good things to say about this program. I have dieted for years and nothing has worked. Yes, I did lose almost 30 pounds in 6 weeks but still have another 30 to go. I need to get back the excitement of the first 6 weeks and thought maybe I could pretend I was starting all over with all of you! Throughout the first time I just kept thinking that I could do anything for six weeks. There wasn't a lot to eat but it was enough and often. I found that exercising at a lower intensity (treadmill with heart monitor) was easy (when I increased intensity the weight loss stopped). All in all, it's the best money I've spent in a while. Oh yeah, my husband lost about 40 pounds over the last two months following his version of the program (job restrictions and a coffee addiction prevented perfectly following it!). Good luck to all of us! |

Hi all! I started out doing the sculpting exercises but they took so long that I broke them up into smaller chunks. Then I stopped any resistance training. I tried free weights but I think I'll go back to the bands. How about sharing some of those "cheat" ideas? I like to put frozen pieces of fish in salsa in an electric skillet.

Los Angeles County is in California and is the most populated county in the United States. The county seat is the City of Los Angeles.
The county has 88 incorporated cities and numerous unincorporated areas. The coastal area of the county is somewhat urbanized, though there is a large expanse of less populated desert in the Santa Clarita Valley.
In the middle of the large desert areas and the urbanized portions is the Angeles National Forest. All of Los Angeles County, north to about the center of the county, is heavily developed.
This county has most of the main cities around the Greater Los Angeles Area, and is the most powerful of the counties that make up the area.
The county's population is larger than the individual populations of 42 states. That's over 25% of all California residents.
The United States Conference of Mayors says, if Los Angeles County were a country, it would have a GDP in the top twenty of the largest countries on Earth.
Not like the largest city in the United States, New York City, all of the city of Los Angeles and most of its suburbs are in one county. Because of this, both the county superior court and the federal district court are the busiest courts of their type in the nation.
Many celebrities like O.J. Simpson and Paris Hilton have been seen in Los Angeles courts. In 2003, the television show Extra found itself running so many reports on the legal problems of LA celebrities that they spun them off into a separate tv show called Celebrity Justice.

And when the lights grow dark all thats left is your energy

From Book to Board Game to Box Office: An Interview With 'The Game' Writer Neil Strauss
Features By David Christopher Bell on August 21, 2012 | Comments (1)You know what Dune, Starship Troopers, and Harry Potter have in common? They were all books that became games before they were movies. It happens more often than we realize, and it happens almost exclusively to sci-fi and fantasy. That's why Neil Strauss' undercover pick-up artist memoir "The Game" just might be the first of it's kind. Not long ago, fearless board game designer Adam Kornblum presented the best-selling author with a prototype for a party game based off of his book, the end result being "Who's Got Game." As something originally designed as a tool to meet other people, the game tied perfectly into the book's original themes. And while it's not unusual for a self-help book to transfer over into the board game genre, what's odd is that since this book is also soon to become a film starring James Franco – it just might be the first self-help book to become a game before a film.
A Desperate MGM to Ask the Question, 'Where's Waldo?'
In Development By Nathan Adams on November 7, 2011 | Comments (2)There's good news in the film world. Sanity seems to have prevailed over madness at Universal and a proposed movie about a formerly popular children's activity book called "Where's Waldo?" is no longer on their schedule. It seems they just couldn't find the right approach to getting it together. But don't start celebrating yet, there's also bad news. The only reason that proposed adaptation of "Where's Waldo?" isn't going to happen is because MGM has now acquired the rights to make the movie instead. Yes, there are multiple studio heads out there that think making Where's Waldo? is a good idea.
'We Bought a Zoo' Trailer: Something Great Will Come of It
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 14, 2011 | Comments (5)Cameron Crowe is a heartstring-tugging force to be reckoned with. Even with a few low points, he still emerges as one of the best writer/directors of our time, creating sentimental stories that push us into an emotional space whether it's because a band is singing Elton John or because a sports agent has a girl at "hello." His next film, as if no one knew, is the adaptation We Bought a Zoo, which features Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Hayden Church, Elle Fanning and Patrick Fugit. The trailer is a soft focus blend of tears and triumph, and you can check it out for yourself:
MGM to Penetrate the 'Secret Society of Pickup Artists'
In Development By Scott Beggs on July 11, 2011 | Comments (1)Now that MGM has enough money to keep the coffeemaker on, they're investing in some interesting properties. The latest on that list is an adaptation of "The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists" which will, sadly, not be a sequel to David Fincher's The Game. The falsely controversial book by Neil Strauss infiltrated a collective of bros who work constantly to perfect the art of treating women badly in bars so they'll go home and get naked with them in a hot tub. The book garnered critical acclaim and spun Strauss's teacher Mystery into a reality television star as the host and guru of his own show. No word yet on how much product placement Axe body spay will buy, but The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that MGM has already tapped Brian Koppelman and David Levien to rewrite the current script and direct. The team who wrote Rounders, Ocean's Thirteen, and The Girlfriend Experience directed their first second feature in 2009 with Solitary Man starring Michael Douglas. Who also starred in The Game. Are we sure this isn't a sequel?
Because You Asked For It: A 'Goosebumps' Movie
In Development By Scott Beggs on September 16, 2010 | Comments (1)It's been a while since the 90s started being officially mined for ideas, and yet for some reason, the book series from R.L. Stine that was required reading for anyone growing up in the decade hasn't made it to the big screen until now. However, the news that Disturbia co-writer Carl Ellsworth has been hired to take a stab at the adaptation doesn't prove it's any closer to being a done deal, either. The book series was already put down on screenwriting paper by writing team Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander (The People vs Larry Flynt, 1408). This would be a completely fresh script and a renewed commitment by producer Neal Moritz to see the book series brought to life.
Our resident intellectual Cole Abaius recently volunteered to take on the reading of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" a book (and soon to be film) that is causing quite a stir on the internet. He offers up his thoughts, plus ten tips for guys who are interested in taking the plunge into "Twilight" as well.
Javier Bardem Will 'Eat, Pray, Love' Julia Roberts
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on June 8, 2009 | Comments (2)Javier Bardem is toning down his characters' bowl cuts and desperate need for threesomes for what sounds like How Stella Got Her Groove Back: White Girl Edition.
Zombies Attack Mr. Darcy, Hollywood Studios Go Nuts
In Development By Paige MacGregor on February 10, 2009 | Comments (4)The forthcoming He's Just Not That Into You boasts a strong, varied cast and finally answers the burning, itching, slightly rashy question of how to turn a How To book into a movie.
Steve Buscemi and Michael Cera are Revolting!
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on May 21, 2008 | Comments (2)The prospect of Michael Cera playing a gawky, sex-crazed fourteen year old who destroys a family vacation all in the name of trading in his V-Card and tasting that sweet, sweet nectar of maturity for the first time either sounds too perfect or too obvious.

All Saints Day was only yesterday so we thought wed go ahead and say a few more things on the subject to add to what you may have read in last weekends article.
From the saints we learn two important facts: (1) there is only ONE CHURCH, and (2) there are only two religions. The old Apostles Creed has it right when it says I believe in the holy catholic (Christian) church, the communion of saints It says believe because we cant see it. But God knows who believes, and this eliminates the hypocrites. We all know there are many religions in this world including all kinds of Christian denominations and the atheists as well, whose religion is no God. But all religions can be divided into just two classes. Those that require man must do something to get right with God and the other that God has done everything necessary for us and that we are saved by Grace through faith in the Christ of the Cross, and that faith also is a gift of God the Holy Spirit.
Finally about the Sailors Cross, which some have noticed and asked about. What does it look like? Here it is! The two hooks of the anchor are joined by a bar which forms the first letter of the Greek alphabet, ALPHA. The shaft of the anchor at its top has an eye or circle thats shaped like OMEGA, the last letter of the Greek alphabet. Twisted around the shank is a double wire that reaches through the anchor eye and represents the bronze serpent that Moses held up when the Israelites were struck by fiery serpents for their open immoralities. Looking to that snake on a pole saved them from death. That twisted wire extends off the stone toward heaven.
So the Sailors Cross says here is the One, the only One whoever said, I am the Alpha and Omega, which means the beginning and the end, the first and the last; the One who saves us from the sting of death that the oldest of serpents brought into this world. YOU ENDS OF EARTH LOOK, BELIEVE!
Do we really need a tombstone? Maybe not. They are expensive. But then again, it is a good way to let other people know that you are one with the Communion of Saints and on the road to resurrection and eternal life.
In closing we refer you to one of the oldest saints. His name is Job (Job 19:25). He wishes it could be written with an IRON PEN to be remembered simply for believing that his Redeemer lives and in his flesh he will see his creator.

The Ultimate Gift – Life from Liver Transplantation
The holidays are quickly approaching as I write this column. A gift that some people really need is a solid organ transplant. The focus of this column is the liver.
The Liver
The liver is a rather large internal organ that has many important functions. When the liver is healthy, it acts as an "internal factory," turning out sugar, some cholesterol, bile for digestion, and many important protein building blocks. Another very important function is that it helps form clots to prevent excessive bleeding when cut. The liver's functions are relatively silent and often go unnoticed. Unlike the kidney's functions, which can be monitored by observing urine production, the liver's functions cannot be easily monitored.
Liver Diseases
Several diseases can affect the liver. Some of these problems include cancer, hepatitis and viral diseases. Drug-induced damage can result from alcohol, pharmaceuticals, and environmental chemicals. A chronic problem of the liver is cirrhosis, in which the liver tissue becomes fibrotic or scarred. In all liver disease, the severity can be fairly easily detected by a battery of liver function tests that demonstrate a failure of the liver to do all things required to keep the whole body healthy. These tests can be performed by taking a blood sample.
When someone has severe liver disease, no matter what the cause, transplantation is likely the best possible treatment. The first liver transplant was performed in 1963, but transplantation did not become widely used until the 1980s. This surgery is only performed in approximately 100 hospitals around the United States. The only hospital performing liver transplantation in South Carolina is the Medical University of South Carolina.
Before a liver transplant can be performed, a great deal of screening and analysis is required. Factors that can prevent a person from having a liver transplant include alcohol abuse and life-threatening diseases such as severe heart failure or cancer of another organ.
Once a patient is approved for liver transplant, the really hard part begins — the wait for a perfect donor match. The match process can take months or longer because relatively few cadaveric (total livers from brain dead donors) are available. A more recent and increasingly popular transplant option is living partial liver donation. The transplant recipient receives approximately half of a healthy patient's liver. Both patients then undergo treatment and observation for six to eight months while the new, normal liver "grows."
In the medical field, this operation is called "big." The procedure takes five or more hours and can be accompanied by considerable loss of blood. However, the results are very good with more than 50 percent survival for 15 years. Check USTransplant's website for a complete listing of national results.
Liver transplant is truly is a life-saving procedure that greatly improves length of life, as well as quality of life. An organ is the ultimate gift that a person on a transplant wait list could receive during this time of year — or any time of year.
Liver Transplantation at the Medical University of South Carolina
For adult and pediatric patients in need of a liver transplant, the MUSC Transplant Center has one of the country's top programs. Because we have one of the shortest waiting periods, our patients typically get their livers in time. Our experience in transplanting hundreds of livers each year contributes to:
- Superior outcomes and some of the nation's lowest mortality rates
- A length of stay in the hospital that is among the nation's shortest
- Extremely low re-admission rates

It was a mix of course. Id had it since fall. I was walking down the aisle of one of my favorite local groceries and I saw it there-on sale of course. I picked up the box and the directions looked simple enough; it even had pictures, and I like directions with pictures. So I bought it and stuck it on a shelf and forgot about it.
One good thing about it was that I didnt have to count the number of beats; I was able to use my handy hand mixer. So it turned out to be a happy occasion.
Prior to that I whipped up a batch of cookies. I was telling one of my children that I was really pooped after that. I said, I was so tired that I had to take a break in my faithful recliner. Then I went on to ask how the heck Mom could just be working in the kitchen and say, I think Ill make a batch of cookies, and make the cookies as sort of a side event without even breathing hard. I baked a batch of cookies and Im wiped out for a couple of hours even though I cheated by making the cookies bigger so I wouldnt have so many to take care of. She answered very quickly, She knew what she was doing!
I think thats part of the secret to kitchen work. Where I have to analyze and fret over each step, experienced kitchen folks just do it automatically. After a while it becomes easier although not easy. Also, I dont ever remember the women around here experimenting like I do to try to find an easier way. Ive found that doesnt work too well in the kitchen. My last batch of cookies proved that. I thought, Why should I stand here beating this thick batter when I could use my handy antique hand mixer? Do you know how long it takes to clean the cookie batter off those little beater blades? I know I lost two or three cookies to frustration.
I read that more people die in the winter time than other seasons of the year. I guess Ive noticed that in reading obituaries. (I check the ages to see what my chances are with the averages.) I thought that it had something to do with the weather; you know, the cold and snow, but it happens in all climates apparently. Maybe its the lack of sunlight or just the dreariness of winter weather. I know that when it gets dark, Im done! Ill be sitting by the fireplace thinking, If it were summertime, Id be outside fooling around in the garden and now here I am hibernating in my recliner.
If I get snowed in, I think Ill whip up a batch of cookies. If I follow the directions, itll be a piece of cake. Take in some of the local fish fries next week. email@example.com, or P.O. Box 27, Winona, MN 55987.

Just as everyone described a "nice" easy to remember pattern

The pattern is well written & very clear. I love the step-by-step directions. I'm not finished with it yet due to some recent eye surgery, but I love the way it's coming out. Can't wait to wear it!!

I haven't knit the pattern yet, but I have studied the pattern and I am now searching for the perfect yarn. Pattern is well written and easy to understand.

I am enjoying this pattern a lot, and the scallop design is gorgeous.

This is a very easy pattern, I did add some more detail that added a few inches. Knitting it up in red alpaca.

I have other projects to knit but something about this scarf wanted me to stick with it.
It was wonderful.

Easy, relaxing pattern. Fashionable and wearable for years.

I knitted this not only with this color but an olive green. Each girlfriend got one for Christmas. This year I'm knitting the yellow, beige, brown and blue.

Cast on the day after I got the pattern. I gave it four stars because nothing could ever beat your little vest pattern that I have made twice now. Besides, I have to give myself room to go up on the next pattern I get from you. LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that you allowed a way to let it be both cowl and scarf. Your directions RULE!

I've actually just barely started this scarf but it is easy to knit. It's going to be a Christmas present for a granddaughter.
