Some interior sections will see sub-freezing temperatures both Wednesday morning and Thursday morning. Conditions will remain dry Wednesday into Thursday with another rain event Saturday.
Wind is the big issue early with some advisories not expiring until 9pm and even later for parts of Santa Barbara County (til 7am). winds 15-30mph with some gusts past 40mph until the advisories expire.
Highs on Wednesday look cool, only in the mid to upper 50s and low 60s due mostly to the cold start. Skies should be mostly clear however.
Rain Saturday could be significant .50" or greater, and now models are back to another rain chance on the morning of Christmas Eve.

Misdemeanor charges have been filed against a veteran Lompoc police officer accused of driving under the influence in the city last month.
A prosecutor with the Santa Barbara County District Attorney's Office tells KSBY News misdemeanor DUI and hit-and-run charges were filed against David Garcia Friday.
Last month, sources told KSBY News Garcia was off duty when he allegedly crashed his personal vehicle into a tree on the 200 block of North H Street around 12:45 a.m. March 7.
According to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office, Lompoc police called sheriff's deputies to the 100 block of W. Oak Avenue around 1:15 a.m. after an officer saw a driver hit a tree in a median on North H Street and keep going.
Sheriff's officials say Garcia was identified after he pulled over on W. Oak, and, shortly after, the officer determined Garcia may have been under the influence of alcohol.
The officer requested the assistance of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office to conduct a DUI investigation.
Lompoc Captain Don Deming said the investigation was turned over to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office to avoid a conflict of interest.
Garcia was arrested for DUI and later cite released to his wife's care, officials say.
Officials with Lompoc police say Garcia returned to full duty at the police station after being off for a few days following the incident.
"After the completion of an internal affairs investigation and the court case, that's when we will review his status on the Lompoc Police Department," says Lompoc Police Department Captain Ed Lardner.
Garcia's arraignment is scheduled for next week.

Important Information >>
Cutting shallow angles can be tricky. Normally miter saws and tablesaw miter gauges aren't capable of making these cuts. On a recent project, I needed to make 30-degree angled cuts on the ends of my boards for some triangular boxes. This required a saw table setting of 60 degrees, which my saw doesn't have. I solved the problem by clamping my workpiece to a 12-in. by 12-in. support block made from two layers of 3/4-in. plywood. Then I set my saw at 30 degrees and cut the angle, as shown here.
That is a good tip. I replaced my miter gauge with a new one that will cut 60 degrees. Many new miter saws will also cut 60 degrees to one side.

They need to rename Valparaiso "Little Chicago" for more reasons than just gas prices.
I'd like to give kudos to the Hobart Board of Public Works for taking care of rundown houses. That's more than I can say for Porter County.
I just got my new handgun so I guess it's safe to go out and mow my lawn!
Who on earth OK'd the paint colors of the newly remodeled fast food restaurant in DeMotte? Those are the most depressing colors I've ever seen.
A polite message to my neighbor: Please do not mow my lawn. You mowed down to the dirt. It's suppose to be three inches long, not a half inch.
You can meet the nicest people at the one-lane bridge on Samuelson Road in Portage.
Why fight them — I am joining. I will quit mowing my lawn and instead put up a Proud Union Home sign. Saves me work and gas and makes my lawn blend in with my Proud Union Home neighbors who don't mow their lawns.
So, 25 to 30 teachers in the Hebron schools don't even live in the Boone Township school district? As long as the students get a good education, who cares?

It's sexy Next Door; the lighting is low, the booths are embracing and the food is sure to illicit sounds of absolute delight. Ben Berryhill's newest culinary endeavor– you guessed it, basically next door to Red Drum– is my new favorite place I can't wait to go back to.
The Atmosphere
I hate to use the hackneyed term "casual elegance" to describe Next Door's atmosphere, but that's exactly what the Mount Pleasant bistro offers. The vibe is relaxed but not subdued. There's a subtle hum of confidence, energy and fun that emanates from the staff, the plates the kitchen produces and the bartender's faultless musical choices. You'll want to stay here through multiple courses.
The Staff
Our waiter was impeccable. There's something to be said for a server who strikes a balance between being making you feel like an inconvenience and watching you like a hawk. He seemed to enjoy our meal right along with us, guiding us through the wine list and the menu, pointing our favorites and "must try" items.
The Food
Next Door's menu is crowded with delicious items, many of which use locally sourced produce, seafood and proteins. Of course, this means the menu changes frequently, so if you hear of a dish your friend loves, best head Next Door as soon as possible.
The salad of baby beets, watermelon radishes, baby carrots and house made mozzarella ($8) with a lemon vinaigrette was like a run through Mr. MacGregor's garden with a lemon twist. So refreshing, so balanced and so delightful. Who says salads need be boring? The root vegetables, roasted, were tender but still satisfyingly crunchy. The mozzarella served as a creamy foil to the salad's purity. Definitely a must order.
There's something about cutting into a poached egg, and how its liquid gold seductively pours from its tender white albumen cradle. Pair that with freshly made pasta, house made ricotta and nutty brown butter and you've got the makings of a decadent yet simple dish. Next Door's poached egg, ham, and ricotta raviolo ($14) is rich and satiating in its sea of nutty brown butter, though definitely one to share.
Eating Next Door's seared duck breast with kale, turnips, duck jus and soubise is tortuous. With each bite there's less to enjoy, without another bite you feel deprived. Earthy, salty, tender and complete with crisp, seared skin this is how one should prepare duck. The Lucinato kale greens are a substantial partner to the game-like bird, maintaining the dish's natural flavor profile. The turnips provide a sweetness and necessary textural juxtaposition to the tender duck breast and sautéed kale. The duck jus is intense with solicitous sweet and umami flavors and the soubise (béchamel sauce with puréed onions) serves as nice creamy accent. This, too, is a must-order.
The Verdict
Next Door is simply fabulous. The atmosphere, food and staff make this venue a beautiful location for a romantic dinner for two, or, alternatively, a fun outing for a sophisticated group. Expect entrées to be priced between $15 and $25, starters below $15– though each dish is worth every penny. The wine list is interesting in the best way possible. Ask your server for suggestions.

Nine skill levels.
Unlimited undo/redo.
Select or create your own color theme.
Drag and drop pieces from chess board to chess box.
Copy/paste chess positions to/from the clipboard.
Still in beta stage.
Before downloading Chessology, just make sure that your computer is capable of running the software.
If your computer does not meet these minimum requrements, you may not be able to install or run the software.
Chessology requires a Microsoft Windows operating system, which can be any one of the following versions:
Windows 8
Windows 7
Windows Vista
Windows XP
Windows 2000
Unfortunately, Chessology does not run on older versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems, such as Windows 98, Window 95, Windows 3.1 or earlier.
Chessology works best if you have a fast computer; however, it should be fine if you have something like an Intel Pentium III CPU @ 500 MHz.
If your computer specification is less that this, the program will still work but may appear sluggish.
You need about 3 MB of spare capacity on your hard-disk drive in order to install Chessology.
This is a very small program so that should not be a problem!
Chessology works best if your computer has at least 128 MB of RAM memory.
Again, if your computer specification is less that this, the program will still work but may appear sluggish.
You will need a color monitor as Chessology makes heavy use of color and does not work well in black and white.
You will need a mouse or similar pointing device.
Chessology makes use of the mouse in a way that would be difficult using a keyboard alone.
When you click on the download button, a dialog box similar to the following will appear:
This is simply asking you if you wish to run or save the installation file that will be downloaded...
Click the Run button if you want to install the software immediately on this computer. Most people choose this option as it is easier.
Depending on the security settings of your computer, you may also need to click Run on a second dialog box which asks you again if you are still sure that you want to run this software.
Anyway, click Run if you want to start installing the software.
If you are not experienced in installing software, just proceed to the next section, install, which consists of a step-by-step walkthrough on the complete installation process.
Click the Save button if you want to install the software later, or on a different computer.
You will be presented with a Save as... dialog box allowing you to select the location on your computer where you wish to save the Chessology installation program.
Then, when you want to install the software, go to the next section, install if you need a step-by-step walkthrough on the complete installation process.

For Immediate Release
Ashland, Wis.—Binational Lake Superior group announces United States recipients of its 2011 Environmental Stewardship Awards program
The Lake Superior Binational Forum announces nine American recipients of its eighth annual Lake Superior Binational Program Environmental Stewardship Award.
The awards program pays tribute to U.S. and Canadian nominees that have demonstrated a commitment to environmental stewardship through leadership in one of six categories: Youth; Individual Adult; Business; Industry; and Municipality, Organization, or First Nation/Tribe.
Recipients have demonstrated they have taken successful actions that minimize negative impacts on the natural environment in the Lake Superior basin. This year all recipients happened to be in the U.S.
A public awards ceremony for the U.S. winners will be held at 1:00 p.m. Central on Sunday, July 17, at the Barkers Island Pavilion, Superior, Wisc., during a free Lake Superior Day festival for the public. Lake Superior Day is held annually around the entire lake on the third Sunday in July.
Each year an artist from the Lake Superior basin is chosen to hand craft a gift that reflects a unique feature that represents the environment or lifestyle around the world's largest lake. This year, the Forum is proud to give an award that highlights the unique geology of the basin by offering an award made of beach stones from the Minnesota North Shore.
Award winners are receiving a handmade beach stone lamp assembled in one-of-a-kind formations by Gail Anderson, a resident of Grand Marais, Minnesota.
The lamps serve as a symbol of the Lake Superior Binational Program's 20th anniversary. which is this year. They also commemorate the Binational Program's Lakewide Management Plan, referred to as 'the LaMP'. This binational document details best management practices and goals that have been accepted by federal, state, tribal, and provincial agencies and governments charged with protecting and restoring the basin's natural environment.
In the Youth category, the Lake Superior Stewards Initiative, headquartered in Hancock, Michigan, prepares K-12 students to become knowledgeable citizens who are actively engaged in activities that enhance their school, community, and the watershed. Created in 2007 by teachers, school administrators, and community organizations, the Initiative quickly grew from nine schools to 14 schools in seven school districts in the three western counties of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Over 75 teachers, 1,600 students, and more than 100 community partners are now conducting dozens of stewardship projects including beach cleanups, stream monitoring, family forest nights, and others.
The Initiative is clearly accomplishing the vision of "Connecting Schools & Communities in the stewardship of Lake Superior and its watershed."
Four adults received top honors for their accomplishments.
For Outstanding Innovative Research and Education Efforts, Naturalists Kate Crowley & Mike Link, of Full Circle Superior, circumnavigated Lake Superior on foot, hiking as close to the 1,555 miles of lake shoreline as possible during a five-month expedition stretching across three states and a Canadian province in 2010. Their Full Circle Superior trek was not just a personal journey of a lifetime, but also a scientific expedition.
Throughout the hike, Mike and Kate recorded important data about the shoreline ecology, water quality, invasive species, and stream crossings which is being shared with universities and institutes as base line data for researchers.
They also delivered numerous talks and presentations along the way and published photographs, writings and thoughts on an interactive web site and blog. Mike and Kate helped weave a network of researchers, educators, outdoorsfolk, and members of the binational community in an adventure of shared goals and vision with long-lasting positive impacts.
For Outstanding Accomplishments on a Remediation and Restoration Project
Alex Mayer from Houghton, Mich., spent almost eight years bringing sections of a long-abused creek in northern Michigan to a more natural state. Huron Creek in Houghton County has a long history of neglect and abuse, until Alex Mayer came along in the late 1990s. Through Mayer's perseverance, numerous partnerships and restoration projects have been established to ultimately restore sections of the watershed to a more natural state.
Mayer helped write a watershed management plan, organized a creek advisory council, and offered watershed tours and community stream sampling education events to increase community awareness. He leveraged his position as director of the Michigan Tech University's Center for Water and Society to conduct research studies, secure grant funding, and offer workshops for local elected officials. Mayer masterfully builds partnerships, encourages stewardship, and engages the next generation of managers and decision makers through his extensive outreach programs.
Cindy Hagley, Duluth, Minn., is recognized as a leader in Outstanding Educational Programming for Youth & Teachers. As an employee of MN Sea Grant, Cindy Hagley has been instrumental in the Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) Great Lakes program to improve Great Lakes science curriculum in K-12 classrooms. She worked tirelessly during the past 6 years to bring substantial Lake Superior science concepts into elementary, middle school, & high school classrooms across the U.S. side of the basin.
Cindy also worked with scientists who study Lake Superior to improve connections with schools & educators. Cindy's peers and partners rave that her enthusiasm, training, and personality have made her an ideal person to help break down barriers between scientists & educators.
In addition to educating teachers during the Lake Superior Shipboard & Shoreline Science workshops held aboard the Research Vessel Lake Guardian, Cindy helped organize the 2009 Lake Superior Youth Symposium that brought hundreds of high
school students and teachers to Duluth for educational programs about Lake Superior.
Showing Outstanding Leadership by an Individual Bob Krumenaker, superintendent of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Bayfield, Wisc., has been a progressive and enthusiastic national leader who moved climate change adaptation and mitigation concepts into public consciousness in the Great Lakes. By recommending a bold new vision for the National Park Service, he championed the need to address climate change in national parks at a time when the idea was highly controversial. Bob led a NPS task force to develop and adopt regional climate change strategies in national public land and waters.
Under his leadership, the group developed interpretive brochures on the impact of climate change on the Great Lakes as well as peer-reviewed reports and materials.
Closer to home, Bob led the Apostle Islands staff to aggressively redesign operating procedures and to retrofit vehicles and boats to reduce greenhouse gases. The Apostle Island National Lakeshore---recognized as the first "Climate Friendly Park" in the Great Lakes—has quickly become a leader in NPS climate change efforts through implementation of many sustainable initiatives.
In the Business Category, WITC-Ashland Campus Rain Gardens in Ashland, Wisc., impressed judges with a low-cost but effective solution to stormwater runoff.
The WITC-Ashland campus is committed to considering and installing sustainable initiatives in all college operations whenever possible.
When new curbs and gutters were recently constructed on the campus perimeter, stormwater flowage into Lake Superior increased with the additional concrete. So, faculty, staff, and the Ashland County Land & Water Conservation Department sought to slow the flow of water by installing three very large rain gardens that replaced campus lawns. These gardens help divert water from the street and campus parking lots into a native wildflower & shrub garden that provides beautiful habitat for butterflies and other insects, plus food and shelter for small mammals.
The gardens also serve as a visual reminder of the merits of stormwater management and natural landscapes, and the ecological benefits that both bring to the environment & community.
The Douglas County Forestry Committee, Superior, Wisc., is the winner in the Municipality Category. The Nemadji River Watershed contributes to the largest freshwater estuary on the Great Lakes. In 2006, The Douglas County Forestry Department completed the Douglas County Forest Comprehensive Land-Use Plan, including a significant directive that called for the permanent protection of the Nemadji River riparian zone from any future development or habitat degradation.
When a 3,995-acre tract of undeveloped land with 6 miles of pristine river frontage became available for purchase, the Douglas County Forestry Committee worked very hard to negotiate with county officials and taxpayers to buy this land, and worked hard to inform them about the benefits of buying and protecting it. It wasn't an easy sell when county budgets are so tight.
Yet through the leadership, commitment, and dedication of Douglas County, its Forestry Department, and dedicated committee members, the land was purchased in 2010 sparing it any future development. Now permanently owned by Douglas County, this piece of riparian land is protected and managed under a hardwood & boreal forest restoration plan developed by Douglas County Forestry Department.
Organization Category. There was a tie in this category.
Sustainable Twin Ports of Duluth, Minn., is dedicated to furthering economic, environmental and social sustainability in the Twin Ports and western Lake Superior region through education, networking and action.
This nonprofit organization facilitated training for dozens of local businesses and organizations in the Duluth/Superior area to create a more sustainable environment for businesses, organizations, and communities using the Natural Step framework.
All of the participants quickly realized environmental and cost savings in the first year. For example, energy use has been reduced at all organizations, saving one business $440 per month on its electricity bill alone.
In general, waste has been reduced by 50 percent. New practices are being implemented by groups such as the City of Duluth, a 31-property corporate hotel company, an entire public school system, and the local Chamber of Commerce. Additional rounds of training and new sustainable practices are still being developed with more businesses to realize even more benefits in the Twin Ports.
Green Campus Enterprise at Michigan Tech University in Houghton, Mich., engages students enrolled in the Green Campus Enterprise class at Michigan Tech work in teams to address four categories of sustainability including reducing the school's carbon footprint, developing hands-on sustainability projects, providing outreach to the surrounding community, and building partnerships with other universities.
The approach is highly innovative as students lead classes that increase sustainability at MTU. In fact, other universities have expressed interest in adopting a similar program for their campuses.
The Green Campus Enterprise started in 2009 with a goal "to better integrate sustainability into its research, education, and operations." In only two years, Green Campus Enterprise has established a close working relationship with administrators, faculty, staff, and other students to analyze, design and implement carbon reduction and other sustainable initiatives.

The Lake Superior Binational Forum is a multi-sector stakeholder group of U.S. and Canadian volunteers that work together to provide input to governments about lake issues and educate basin residents about ways to protect and restore the lake. Members come from Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ontario.
The Forum is located in the United States at the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute at Northland College in Ashland, WI, and funded in the U.S. by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Great Lakes National Program Office. The Canadian Forum office is at EcoSuperior in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and funded by Environment Canada.

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
Giving is a religious act. Each of us knows someone somewhere whose life was changed by the courage and compassion of Unitarian Universalism. Many whose lives were touched never knew that the spirit of Unitarian Universalism was at work in their midst. Many have never heard of Unitarian Universalism! We give of ourselves, our time, our energy, our ideas, even our lives—not for recognition, but because it is the right thing to do.
For all the good we Unitarian Universalists (UUs) do, only we know the value of our religious heritage. Only we love this free faith enough to give it a future. And when we make a gift to Unitarian Universalism, we receive a gift in return: the joy and deep satisfaction of giving to something we cherish. A "charitable gift annuity" (CGA) is a way that you can give now, enjoy income for life, see tax savings, but most importantly, experience the joy and satisfaction of giving to the future of Unitarian Universalism.
What is a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA)? When you set up a CGA, you enter into a contractual arrangement with the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (UUA). A simple contract identifies the donor(s) and states who will receive the annuity, when payments begin, when the contract ends, and how you wish your gift to be used. As a donor, you make an irrevocable gift of cash, stock, or other assets, and the UUA agrees to pay one or two people a guaranteed, fixed annual income for the rest of their lives. Ultimately, Unitarian Universalism directly benefits from your generosity.
How is the annuity amount determined? The amount paid each year is a percentage of the amount given. The UUA uses rate tables prepared by the American Council on Gift Annuities, a national non-profit organization. Annuity rates are determined by the age(s) of the annuitant(s). The annuitant(s) and the annuity amount never change.
Who may receive annuity payments? One or two people may be annuitants. The donor names the annuitant(s) when the gift contract is prepared. Usually, the annuitant is also the donor.
What is the minimum gift amount? The minimum gift amount is $10,000.
When do annuity checks get mailed? Quarterly. Checks are mailed on the first of January, April, July, and October. Annuity gifts that arrive late in a quarter will be held one full quarter before any payment. In this case, the first check will include a pro-rated amount for the short quarter.
Are the gift annuity payments guaranteed? Yes. Your gift annuity is guaranteed by the UUA and backed by its assets.
How will my gift be invested? The UUA holds all charitable annuity contributions in charitable trust fund accounts, at State Street Global Advisors in Boston, Mass. Gifts remain in the funds until the gift contract ends. The current asset allocation is approximately 32% fixed income, 62% equities, 4% REIT and the rest in cash equivalents. All UUA investments are screened to exclude tobacco and weapons industries. On October 31, 2013 the UUA Segregated Annuity Reserve had a fair market value of $7,782,509.
Are annuity payments taxable? For a period of years, part of the annuity payment is tax free, and part is taxable ordinary income. Gifts of appreciated assets will see some of the capital gain excused, the rest is payable over the course of the annuity. Ask the UUA Office of Charitable Gift and Estate Planning for more information about how your gift plans might be taxed.
May I make a non-cash gift? Yes, common stocks, mutual funds, and other marketable securities are acceptable donations to establish a gift annuity. Gifts of real estate are allowed in some states and are subject to approval by the UUA Vice President of Finance.
Will I get a charitable income tax deduction? Yes. You may claim a charitable income tax deduction for a percentage of your gift. For instance, if you are 70, your annuity rate is 5.1% and you are eligible for a charitable deduction is approximately 34% of your contribution. U.S. Treasury tables set the deduction, based on the annuitant's age, the annuity rate, and date of the gift. Ask the UUA Office of Legacy Gifts to estimate your deduction.
When do annuity payments begin? Donors chose when payments begin, either immediately or deferred for more than a year. Immediate annuities start payments within a year of the gift date. Deferred annuities delay payments but still generate a current income tax deduction. The annuity rate and tax deduction for a deferred annuity will be higher than what you will enjoy from an immediate annuity.
What will my gift support? Charitable gift annuities support the work of the Unitarian Universalist Association and/or your own congregation or any other UUA-affiliated organization. Unrestricted gifts are always welcome, as are gifts designated for specific purposes. For instance, your gift could help fund loans to congregations for land acquisition or new construction, or help to support the development of life-cycle religious education curricula, or promote the mission of Faith in Action, or add to the permanent endowment, income used only for general operations.

0MPE Australia Launch and Simons Public Lecture
Australian Chief Scientist and Patron of the year, Professor Ian Chubb, will officially launch the Australian participation in the International Year of Maths of Planet Earth.
The Chief Scientist for Australia provides high-level independent advice to the Prime Minister and other Ministers on matters relating to science, technology and innovation. He also holds the position of Executive Officer of the Prime Minister's Science, Engineering and Innovation Council to identify challenges and opportunities for Australia that can be addressed, in part, through science.
Public Lecture: The challenge of sustainability and the promise of mathematics
Professor Simon Levin, Princeton University, visits Australia to deliver the first in the international series of Simons Foundation MPE lectures.
The continual increase in the human population, magnified by increasing per-capita demands on Earth's limited resources, raises the urgent mandate of understanding the degree to which these patterns are sustainable. The scientific challenges posed by this simply stated goal are enormous; mathematics provides a common language and a way to cross disciplines and cross scales.
What measures of human welfare should be at the core of definitions of sustainability, and how do we discount the future and deal with problems of intragenerational and inter-generational equity? How do environmental and socioeconomic systems become organized as complex adaptive systems, and what are the implications for dealing with public goods at scales from the local to the global? How does the increasing interconnectedness of natural and
human systems affect us, and what are the implications for management? What is the role of social norms, and how do we achieve cooperation at the global level?
Mathematical tools help in understanding the collective dynamics of systems from bacterial biofilms to bird flocks and fish schools to ecosystems and the biosphere, and the emergent features that support life on the planet. They also provide ways to resolve the game-theoretic challenges of achieving cooperation among individuals and among nations in providing for our common future.
Professor Levin received his B.A. from Johns Hopkins University and his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Maryland. At Cornell University 1965-1992 , he was Chair of the Section of Ecology and Systematics, and then Director of the Ecosystems Research Center, the Center for Environmental Research and the Program on Theoretical and Computational Biology, as well as Charles A. Alexander Professor of Biological Sciences (1985-1992). Since 1992, he has been at Princeton University, where he is currently George M. Moffett Professor of Biology and Director of the Center for BioComplexity. He retains an Adjunct Professorship at Cornell.
His research interests are in understanding how macroscopic patterns and processes are maintained at the level of ecosystems and the biosphere, in terms of ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that operate primarily at the level of organisms; in infectious diseases; and in the interface between basic and applied ecology.

Internet Content – parent education is the key

Internet Content – parent education is the key
Senate Adjournment Speech
19 March 2003
The recent release of the Australia Institute's sensational report Youth and pornography in Australia: evidence on the extent of exposure and likely effects has re-ignited public debate about under-age access to sexually explicit material on the Internet. This issue is not new, even though many parents-just as the co-author of this report, Clive Hamilton, said on radio-are experiencing the Internet through their children's eyes for the very first time.
In fact it was a debate that we had here in this chamber nearly four years ago when the coalition introduced the online services bill. This legislation sought to do a number of things. It decreed online content as analogous to video content for the purposes of classification.
It created a framework for an industry code of practice which included ISPs being required to provide filter downloads on their web site. It also established a take down regime for sexually explicit web sites without age protection on servers in Australia administered by the Australian Broadcasting Authority. The legislation also established NetAlert, an independent body designed to host the hotline for complaints and provide information to net users about filters.
At the time, the coalition argued that this would protect Internet users from unwanted exposure to sexually explicit material. However, there was a mismatch between the rhetoric and the reality of the government's regime. Because of the open, global nature of the Internet, it is not possible to unequivocally block certain types of content.
It was only through the cooperation of the Internet Industry Association that a code of practice that gave some credibility to the government's regime was established. The Broadcasting Services Amendment (Online Services) Act is largely symbolic and, I think, a lazy attempt to mislead Australians into believing that the coalition actually cared about and had met the objective of helping protect Australian citizens, especially children, from illegal and highly offensive material.
This is not the case and there has been little effort to empower parents with the knowledge and confidence they require. As a result, suspicion and concern about their children's use of the Internet has grown in the minds of many parents. At the time of debating this act, Labor argued that the concept of legislating to require filter use at ISP level was not technically feasible. This is still the case. Whilst filters have improved, their use at the desktop is still the most effective and gives parents the greatest control. We argued then, and argue still, that the best ways to help parents make the right decisions for their children are to provide the resources to educate them about the risks of some online content and make the tools for managing Internet content at the desktop at home accessible.
I should say that there are equally powerful arguments for educating parents about the vast merits of Internet usage, but, unfortunately, that angle has never featured strongly in the coalition's agenda; rather, their approach is reactionary. The coalition choose to characterise the Internet as a threat, not as an opportunity.
So when this latest Australia Institute report was published, I was disturbed by the tendency for some to immediately succumb to the sensationalism and hyperbole without a thought for the facts as they have been established in previous debates in this place, in Senate inquiries and in a number of reputable studies.
Independent experts continue to expose flaws in filter technology. A 2001 CSIRO report found that, despite improvements in filtering technology over the years, there is no filter that is 100 per cent effective in keeping out all undesirable material without simultaneously blocking acceptable content.
Even the regulatory body responsible, the Australian Broadcasting Authority, acknowledged in relation to filter technology that none of the products currently available meet users' expectations with regard to blocking accuracy, useability and system performance. Therefore, the suggestion that the entire Internet should be filtered is unrealistic and inappropriate.
Unfortunately, such a short memory regarding the debate in 1999 about Internet content has led the coalition to already offer support for greater censorship by actively considering proposals for unworkable, quick fixes that involve filtering the Internet at the ISP level.
Let us be clear about this: this would mean that all Internet content available to Australians would be prefiltered by ISPs in accordance with the standards of censorship preferred by the coalition government. This ridiculous proposition is made even more absurd when the weaknesses of filtering technology at this level effectively ensure that it would not work anyway.
For parents unfamiliar with the Internet, all this seems like intimidating and impenetrable jargon. I have a great deal of sympathy for people in that position. The role for the government is to remove this barrier to parental involvement with their children's use of the Internet. This can be done through education, through raising parents' awareness, information sharing about solutions, helping parents develop practical Internet skills and encouraging them to be involved in the Internet in the home.
Unfortunately, the coalition has quite shamefully underfunded the very organisation they set up to educate parents about safe Internet surfing. NetAlert has been staffed by the coalition over the past three years, receiving over $1.5 million per year to educate the rapidly growing Internet using community in Australia. Following a very shaky start, most of this money has been spent on shallow 'brand building' and promotion. The real work is yet to be done.
The NetAlert Executive Director, Alan Tayt, has had to go cap in hand to the minister for $10 million that he estimates will be needed to do the job effectively over the next three years. Without a coalition commitment, NetAlert could be wound up in the next month, leaving parents high and dry in their efforts to protect their kids.
The coalition has also dragged its feet combating spam email, a major source of unwanted Internet content that could lead to inadvertent exposure to sexually explicit material by under 18-year-olds. Last year the minister finally acknowledged that spam was of concern because it might contain illegal or offensive material. He said he would produce a report on spam 'to be made public by midyear'-that was last year, 2002.
Yet aside from an incredibly light touch 'interim paper' there has been nothing, not a peep. Meanwhile Labor has already put out a discussion paper on spam and is examining policy options for achieving a solution to this problem. Finally, the coalition has still not handed down their promised evaluation of the online services act, which the minister said in this place on 24 May 1999 would be due on 1 January 2003.
On the other hand, Labor has a constructive alternative to the coalition's lazy hands-off approach. This is to make a genuine effort to assist parents, to help them educate themselves and empower them to manage their Internet content. Parents do not have to be rocket scientists or computer experts to protect their families. It is their choice. With a little assistance parents can learn how to use Internet and email filters to screen out a great deal of unwanted content.
Despite the coalition's inaction, Internet service providers have a responsibility under the industry code of practice to provide these filters and information about their use. The industry has also embarked upon a number of initiatives designed to better identify child-friendly content. Of course, deficiencies in filters mean that parents cannot abdicate their responsibility to monitor their children's Internet use, but there are other simple steps they can take.
For example, parents can ensure their kids conduct Internet searches on 'white list' search sites like LookSmart.com or Yahooligans.com, which vet their searchable content. The former, LookSmart, an Australian company, pops up a warning if search results may contain unsuitable content, while the latter, Yahooligans, only searches through sites previously determined by the company to be suitable for children.
Parents can also take commonsense steps such as putting a computer in a well used area of the house and providing guidance to children about what they view, just as happens with television. Parents have the right and the responsibility to decide what their child views. The role of government is to provide as much assistance as possible to help achieve this, not to make these decisions for them.
If one thing is to be learnt from the failure of the existing regulatory regime it is that ad hoc censorship and high-level filtering are not the answer. It is about time the coalition government concentrated on effective, realistic solutions and took a serious interest in helping parents to combat this problem.

I have a couple of questions.
1. Do you still stand by these reasoned, sensible statements?
2. if so, how can you justify standing by and observing the farce that is Senator Conroy's Clean Feed plans and trials?
I second Lee's comment.
This is a well-written and well-reasoned speech on the mindlessness of ISP-level government censorship, but it stands in stark contrast with the current policy of the ALP.
Your logic is sound, and I trust that you still hold these beliefs and that you are raising the issue with the ALP and Senator Conroy internally.
Would you acknowledge that Labor's trial is a sham, a shameful attempt to pervert "scientific process", something that makes Sen. Conroy, Mr. Rudd and the rest of the ALP look incompetent and ignorant at best, deliberately deceitful at worst?
The trial was opt in (the final policy won't be), excluded the only ISP that claimed it would give a rigorous blind test, included the non-profit ISP that champions filtering, has sample sizes as small as 15 users and is noted to have blocked a completely legal porn site, after which the person who was blocked withdrew from the trial. Science?
Although from your post I get the impression that you do indeed disagree with the course the government is taking and are somewhat… constrained in the criticism you can level against members of your own party.
Such a pity really, you strike me as the perfect person for the role of communications minister (for whatever that is worth.. ; ). Technologically literate and willing to utilise ICT to bring the community in contact with your portfolio, aware of the greater issues beyond pushing us back in to the Victorian period…

Could be. In their rookie seasons, the American Basketball League and the Women's National Basketball Association both lost money--but they attracted a total of 1.8 million fans to 300 games in sixteen U.S. cities, a lot of them looking for role models. This was a stunning turnaround for a sport that for decades exiled its top college stars and Olympic heroines to futures in Spain or Greece and told everybody else to hang up the old sneakers for good. Now women's pro basketball looks like it's finally seized a home-court advantage in America--especially if you judge by the starry-eyed little girls gazing up at Katrina McClain or the pigtailed point-guards-to-be begging autographs from Katy Steding.
There's just one problem, and it's drenched in irony. After sitting the bench for so long, female hoopsters may suddenly be stuck with one league too many.
Last October, the eight-team ABL--home to the Denver-based Colorado Xplosion--hit the floor first, with players earning an average salary of $80,000. Of the twelve members of the gold-medal-winning 1996 U.S. Olympic team, eight opted for the ABL (at $150,000 apiece), as did 35 of 60 former Division I All-Americans. Playing October through February, the heart of the traditional basketball season, the ABL took an early lead in quality of play, attracted investors and drew a respectable, if unspectacular, 3,536 fans per game.
"It was a wonderful experience," says Xplosion forward Crystal Robinson, who led her club with 17.1 points per game and was selected in a media poll as the league's top first-season pro. "I felt really lucky. When I was younger, I said to myself: I'll go overseas and play professional ball. I'm so glad to have the opportunity to stay home and play here."
Under head coach Sheryl Estes, the "X" put together a 25-15 regular season and won the ABL's Western conference title before running out of gas in the playoffs against the Richmond Rage. Behind ex-Olympian Nikki McCray, the Columbus Quest then beat the Rage for the first-ever ABL championship. "It's a Whole New Ballgame," the official league catchphrase announced. So it was.
Came June, and the WNBA promptly raised the stakes.
"We Got Next," the league's sloganeers told the world, reviving the old playground cry as much to rebuke their ABL rivals as to challenge male dominance. The claim might just as well have been: "We Got More Money." The WNBA played with a slightly smaller ball, but the bottomless resources of its big brother, the National Basketball Association, brought it to bigger markets like New York, Houston and Los Angeles, where a healthy 9,000 fans per game showed up.
Marquee players Lisa Leslie, Sheryl Swoopes and Rebecca Lobo earned about $250,000 each, while lesser-known teammates played for $35,000. Looking for a yardstick here? The entire payroll for the 96 players in the WNBA came to $3 million; Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls will reportedly earn $33 million this season.
Basketball connoisseurs say WNBA talent was inferior in 1997, but in year one, the league marketing department spent $15 million--ten times more than its ABL counterpart. Thanks to its NBA clout, the summer (June through August) league also swung five-year TV deals with NBC, ESPN and Lifetime, while the ABL settled for the lesser reach of BET and SportsChannel before landing a new contract for 1997-98 with FOX Sports Net.
The standings: The ABL has better players and a more attractive playing season; it moved the Richmond club to Philadelphia, a much larger market, and added a new franchise in Long Beach, California. The WNBA has plenty of money, marketing savvy and exposure. It scored a major coup last month by luring away Nikki McCray, the ABL's Most Valuable Player, and it plans to expand by two teams for 1998.
The big question is which side will eventually win this game of one-on-one. The secondary issue is whether they need to go to war at all.
Truth be told, some of the combatants are reluctant to fight. The Xplosion's Robinson, for one, feels fiercely loyal to her league and charges that "the WNBA is all about making money, geared toward filling the stands in the off season when they would otherwise be empty." But she believes the intensity of the ABL-WNBA "war" has been exaggerated by fans and the media. "Speaking for myself, I really want the ABL to succeed, but I'm happy the WNBA is also in the picture. There are that many more jobs in women's basketball. We see this as a great opportunity for women--no matter what league they're playing in."
The bond of sisterhood may not extend to the executive suite--most observers believe, for instance, that NBA commissioner David Stern will keep sinking millions into his new women's league until it prevails--but there's a feeling that a rising tide will lift all boats. Xplosion general manager Lark Birdsong has strengthened this year's team with the addition of ex-Seattle Reign forward/center Tari Phillips, slick Wisconsin guard Keisha Anderson and Dana Wynne, the all-time NCAA rebound leader from Seton Hall. And she's delighted that the ABL has taken the early lead in player quality. But she's loath to badmouth the WNBA: "They did a great job on the marketing angle," she says, "and we'd love to have all those dollars. But we got the job done getting the majority of the talent. The battle for players will start in earnest next year, but my guess is that the feeling about all that varies. The players in the two leagues like one another and have played with each other. The way I feel is that women's sports are finally getting their day in the sun. I like that, and I don't want to jeopardize that day in the sun."

Greetings All!
I have two Indian Rope plants that were given to me, both with luxuriously long trailing stems. Allow me to illustrate how much of a newbie I am at keeping plants. When I brought the plants home, I didn't look up their care instructions. Then, because they were both hanging plants, I hung them from the first available spot I could find. From the eaves on my apartment patio. Outside. In JANUARY. You may all want to kill me by now. The poor hoyas. Work had me in such a flurry, I barely noticed that they were turning brown and wrinkled from the cold and wind! Now, I'm turning over a new leaf (pun intended, sorry!) and trying to be a good plant mother. I brought them inside and put them in my well-lit bathroom. Now, my question is: What do I do with them? The leaves are all wrinkled, some are brown and dry. Should I cut off the brown dry ones? Wait and let them fall off naturally? Will the wrinkled leaves ever recover? Will the *plants* ever recover? Where do I go from here? Ideally they will be repotted into nice ceramic pots. Link to photos here: http://flic.kr/ps/m1y9S Thank you all for your help from this (hopefully not) hopeless newbie... |

Sorry, I see no Hoya in your trio of pix. I was looking to see if there were any green leaves, if plant was still alive or not. |

Aw. Well I admire your candor lol. Well at least now you know that Hoya compacta (aka Indian Rope) is not cold hardy to zone 17. I know some of the Floridians leave certain Hoyas out for at least part of the winter, and some are even able to survive grown in the ground. But they also have catastrophes like this when the weather dips lower than they are used to. Like PG, I only saw 3 non-Hoya photos when I visited your photostream, so maybe when you have time you can post a new link. There is a guide for posting photos here if you need it. We can give you some general advice, but a picture would help a lot. I am assuming that since you described some leaves as brown that the 'wrinkled' ones must still be green. The survival at this point depends on what you have to work with, as it is unclear how far the damage extends. If the roots are damaged, you will need to restart the plants from cuttings. If it were me, I'd cut off several sections with the healthiest looking leaves, of about 2-3 nodes (the bumps where the leaves come out). I would let them rehydrate in some pure water overnight (ideally R/O or distilled), and then pot them up in a small pot, with the bottom node touching or underneath the soil line. Then I'd give them really super super good humidity. If they are already traumatized you really have to baby them if you want a chance. You can do this by putting the whole pot inside a big freezer bag, closing it up, and putting it somewhere it gets indirect light (NO direct light - it will cook). Then just open the bag periodically and blow some new air into it. Sticking them inside a clear tupperware container also works well, if you have one you can temporarily reconnoiter. It could be that the roots are still okay on your primary plants. If they are not too far gone, the best situation for them to recover would be some nice gentle light, like an east window, and some extra humidity like a pebble tray. It doesn't really matter if you decide to let the brown leaves fall off on their own or snip them off with some sterilized scissors. Hang in there. I've killed a compacta myself and it sucks. But with Hoyas it's not over until it's over, and even then sometimes there's hope. |
Thank you GG and PG! Not sure why the photos disappeared off of Flickr, but I'm embedding them here. Thanks for the link! What do you all think? Also, if I can repot them, should I keep the pot about the same size as what they are in now? And then that pot should go in a tray with pebbles? Should the soil be a succulent mix? This is how most of the leaves look- green and wrinkled. Some of the green ones also have some frostbitten brown spots. These are some of the brown, dry leaves that I'm not sure what to do with. There aren't a lot like this, fortunately. Here are the plants in their new home. The light is coming from an east-facing window that is up high next to the bathtub/shower. |

Hi Roger - say more. Where are your hoyas? Were they doing OK and suddenly went down? What kind of temperature and light do they have? How often are you watering, and what are they planted in? Do you know whether or not they're rootbound? Have you checked for critters? Can you post a photo or two? |
- Posted by rogerwoods2007 none (My Page) on Wed, Oct 10, 12 at 10:51
Thanks so much for your help. I'm going to try to answer your questions in order. I'm a novice, so I hope I'm giving the info you're looking for. Here goes The hoya is on the windowsill in my office. There's a pic of it sitting in the sill. The plant was doing OK when I first got it, but a few months in I noticed some shriveling. I didn't give it much thought until all of the leaves started to shrivel. I'd say it took six mos. to get in this shriveled state. It gets about a workday's worth of indirect sunlight and I think I got the plant around March, so it's been indoors -- I live on the east coast -- during the spring and summer. I water it once a week, but when I noticed the shriveling a dryness of the leaves, I still watered it once a week, but gave it more water per watering. I don't think the plant is root-bound and it has no critters. So, what do you think? I'm sending the link of three pics using Dropbox, which I've never used before. Hopefully, you can see them. If not, I'll try to send them a different way. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hoyas
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 10, 12 at 11:18
Excellent coverage, Roger. I believe in your case, the root system was damaged. Probably it got too much water at some point, and Hoyas can be sensitive to this. In fact, that's how I lost my Hoya compacta. Any number of things can destroy a root system, but the result looks like... your pictures. No matter how much water you give it, the plant can't take it up anymore. If I were you, I would take cuttings ASAP. I don't think the Hoya will recover left as it is. All you need to do is cut sections of vine and stick them down into the soil, so that a node (the part where the leaves emerge) is touching or underneath the soil. Remove the leaves if they will be more than partially underground. To help promote humidity during the rooting process (which is a good idea, since the leaves are so dehydrated at this point), put a large freezer bag around the entire pot and blow fresh air into it periodically. You might also want to allow the vines to rehydrate in room temperature distilled water for a few hours or overnight, before you start the rooting process. That will help them out. |

Thanks, Greedyghost. I'll take cuttings and plant them, per your suggestion. Someone actually told me that the plant was a goner, but I thought since it was still green (though shriveled) it was still alive. I have another Hoya that I'll be sure not to over-water. Well, wish me luck. And, thanks again for your help. Roger |

Good luck!! Re-rooting a Hoya is a routine medical procedure. I'm glad you're going to give it a try. :) |

Best lip balm EVER! Bought it when I was in Greece for the holidays. When I put it on it feels kind of dry, and it's like I haven't put anything on my lips, but in just a few seconds after the application they feel so soft and smooth! Mine is with propolis and it claims to be 95% natural ingridients, actually that's what made me buy it - I always look for products, which are natural. So, overall, best lip balm ever. I have tried so many, but this one beats them all. And it's long-lasting. Love it!
This stuff is hot! My favorite, especially pomegranate. Im greek so its easy to find. Cant swap it for any cheap stuff. By the way, the packaging has changed, its much more sophisticated now, if that matters.

I love the apivita lipaids!! i first bought it on holidays in Greece, but now i buy them on line. My favourite is the pomegranate! it smells nice, leaves my lips soft, hydrated and naturally coloured! it;s great that it doesnt containe silicones!!
first i had lip care with black currant. this is a lip balm, but it lacks nothing in color compared to a lipstick. the texture is so smooth and slippery. the smell is great. the color is as if you have eaten cherries, it is not the color for me but it would look great on darker skin tones. then i had lip care with pomegranate. the color is amazing but it smells and tastes like vomit (sorry). its a no-no. lastly,i had the one with pink rose. it smells and tastes amazing. its a lovely pale pink color, which i will buy again

I actually got a free sample of this little beauty in Greece when I bought a Cosmo magazine. I never used it until the winter time when the weather was so cold and my lips were so chapped that nothing else worked. The texture is slightly thick, it might feel filmy to some but I didn't mind. I like the smell, the taste and best of all! IT moisturized like a dream. I didn't have to reapply at all... My lips are normally cracked, but this healed my crack lips instantly without stinging. I've used Burts Bees and other lip conditioners but nothing works as good as Apivita. Best of all NO silicones or parabens. Just natural goodness. I tried to find this in other countries and it was a fail. I have to stock up the next time I'm in Greece. Apparently it comes in different flavours with different hues. But I'd stick to the natural one.

Propoline is by far the best lip moisturizer. It moisturizes even severely chapped lips and is very smooth and does not leave a nasty white residue, that I have noticed other lip balms etc. do. I have the one with the olive oil and it smells so great. I would definitely buy this again and again. I also have the currant one and it leaves a nice tint on the lips. Best for lips!!!

This is a review for Propoline Lip Aid with Black Currant and Olive Oil. I got this from BeautyExclusive-not exactly cheap, but it's perfect for what I want. I like tinted balms that condition with a hint of color. This one is like my natural lips, only better-leaving behind a semi-matte cherry shade. That said, it has some standard red colorants in it that may offend some-D&C Red 33 AI Lake and D&C Red Lake. It has an expiry of 24M from the time of opening. I like the slightly fatter packaging-4g. This has replaced my Classic Chapstick and Blistex in the meantime, despite the fact that this is about three times the price. A great Spring discovery. Could be considered to be a solid version of Korres Lip Butter in a similar shade -which I didn't like anywhere near as much. This lasts and applies much better than Korres, in my opinion. I'd like to try the other variants of Lip Aid in this range.

this is for the lip aids, and they are the best lip balms i've used! i have tried nivea, labello, lipice, carmex, burt's bees, blistex, nuxe, avon, bonne bell, lancome, avene, the body shop and various e-tailers but they don't even come close to this. my favourite of the lip aids is rose because of the light pink tint. it has a creamy formula that sort of melts into your lips and the protection lasts for a long time. these are the only lip balms that i have actually finished using up and i've stopped buying other lip balms since i found the propoline lip aids while on vacation in greece (they are really cheap there).
This is for the Propoline multivitamin conditioner. I'm a conditioner junkie and not easily impressed, but each time I use this I remark to myself how nice it is. The substance itself seems thin, but it gives amazing slip to tangled hair. It leaves my hair looking nice and shiny, and has some very nice ingredients. The only thing that would keep me from repurchasing is the price (and the fact that I'm a product junkie and always looking for somethig new)
The PROPELINE HAIR CARE PRODUCTS are amazing! I've used several samples of the Multivitamin Conditioner and I just love the effect it has. The whole line does exactly what the product says it's going to do. Even after using the Conditioner several days in a row, it still lives up to it's "for brightness and vitality" claim. I heard the SUNSCREEN/SUNCARE products are wonderful as well. Don't be discouraged by the lesser-known brand name because this is high-quality stuff and a fun new brand if you're a product junkie.

Review, Ingredients, Side Effects & Results
Are you tired of reading those fake and hyped up Phen375 reviews that are trying to sell you the product? Read on and I will share with you my real experience where I will cover the basics of this weight loss supplement, talk about ingredients and side effects.
Phen375 Introduction
So what exactly is Phen375? Basically, it's a drug that is very similar to the original Phentermine which, as you may know, was very EFFECTIVE at burning fat and suppressing appetite, however, studies showed severe side effects and this supplement was permanently banned.
Well, Phen375 is supposed to be as effective as the original supplement, but without side effects that cause damage to your body and organs.
Anyways, I found out about this product in a magazine, if I recall correctly, and decided to read a couple reviews, unfortunately, all I could find were all those hyped up sites that are trying to push the product.
Phen375 - My Review
Before I continue with my review, I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself and why I decided to try the product. My name is Debbie and you can actually read more on the 'about' page so I will keep this short.
I am in my late twenties and I was struggling with weight pretty much all my life, I am not extremely obese, at least I don't think so, but I would love to lose 28 pounds. Also, I am a very skeptical person by nature, so in order for me to order something from the Internet I need to do tons and tons of research.
I've been scammed multiple times by 'miracle' weight loss pills, once even by the Acai Berry garbage, however, most of the times I was able to get my money back.
Now about my experience with Phen375, I didn't find any solid reviews, so I decided to give it a try and I purchased 3 bottles and got 1 bottle for free, I figured this is how much I will need to reach my target goal, well, if the product works, of course.
The shipping was superb, I mean I had no problems and my package arrived fairly quickly, which was a surprise and I got very excited, I wanted to start as soon as possible and carefully document my weight loss/gain.
It came with a Phen375 diet plan booklet which is basically different menus for different types of people (active/inactive male/female) which was nice because I didn't need to figure anything out, I just needed to follow the plan.
The booklet also states that you must take 2 pills every day, one 20 minutes before your first meal and another 20 minutes before your large meal. I carefully followed their plan, although, I must admit that I didn't always eat right, however, I do not exercise at all, so here are my results:
Week 1
Honestly, this is where I was surprised, I lost a whooping 2.4lbs without doing any exercise, just eating right and taking 2 pill each day.
Week 2
Another 2.1 lbs lost, I was so happy, because I finally found something that was working as 'promised' or at least close to it.
Week 3
3.7lbs lost, such a huge jump because I decided to try to not spend more $$ on the pills and I started to brisk walk for 20-30 minutes 2 times a week. I highly recommend you start doing something too!!!
Week 4
3.2lbs down, well, the results speak for themselves and I was truly blown away.
So in conclusion, Phen375 does work, Phen375 is not a scam and I highly recommend you at least give 1 bottle a try, even if you're as skeptical as I am. Now I am going to cover ingredients and side effects...
Phen375 Ingredients
Phen375 uses a combination of cyclic AMP enzyme boosters such as 1,3-Dimethypentylamine Hydrochloride, 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine, and a Sympathomimetic Amine, Dehydroepiandrosterone, Capsaicin-1.12, l-carnitine to suppress appetite and burn fat. I honestly don't know what it means since I am not a chemist, but this is what was written on the bottle. If you want more information please read Phen375 ingredients.
Phen375 Side Effects
As far as I am concerned there are some side effects like a strange feeling in my stomach when I took 3 pills one day and didn't eat properly, however, when I was taking 2 pills before eating, I felt absolutely fine and very energized, there was literally nothing to complain about. If you want to learn more about side effects of weight loss supplements, please read - Phen375 Side Effects.
Phen375 Discount
I don't know if there are any discount codes, or coupons, the only thing I took advantage of is buy 3 get 1 for free offer.
Phen375 Where to Buy
If you don't want to get scammed, or charged more please buy from their official web site which can be found by going to their official website.
P.S I am still away from my goal, but I am going to keep working on it and hopefully, I will be able to keep my weight off for a long time!
I am so disappointed. I've been on phen375 for 6 days now and am so upset as I just realised that I only got 24 pills in one of my bottle of phen (should be 30) It seems to be working I haven't done much exercise throughout the week. Just some cycling and walking couple times this week. I've dropped 1.3 kgs so far. These pills were no doubt really expensive. I only bought two bottles. And I feel so ripped off knowing that my first bottle did not contain 30 pills. Have not opened the second bottle yet… Hopefully it has the full 30 pills. I paid like $170 for them !!!! Not happy.
Well iv been taking for 15 days now I lost nothing
I have trialled a 30 pill bottle of Phen375 which lasts only 15 days. In the first 10 days I lost 2kg! This past
few days I lost .5kg as well. I have now run out of the pills and am ordering more. I have been losing weight for over a year now (21kg lost) but have hit a plateau and couldn't lose any more. Within days of taking the
Phen375 I saw results. It definitely suppresses appetite, I couldn't snack on anything! I just didn't want it.
The metabolism booster makes me want to exercise more and i think that the pills work better if you actually get busy. I bought a cheap treadmill just to burn the extra energy I was feeling. I only do 30 minutes a day @ 4km/hr and thats enough to lose 2.5kg in just 15 days. This is more than double what I was losing before. This stuff works!Hi, im starting phen 375 tomorrow?! but worried about side effects? should i take them early in the morning? Any suggestions
