The Fastest Way to Increase Mortgage Originations Guaranteed!
The #1 Mortgage Event In America
Money Making Training for Mortgage Executives, Branch Managers & Top Originators
As a successful mortgage professional, you've proven that you have the ability to transform your vision into reality. Yet as many mortgage originators & mortgage executives become successful, they reach a stage where it becomes increasingly difficult to move to the next level.
We developed Mortgage Executive Magazine & Mastermind Summit to give you the tools and systems to make the quantum leaps in your mortgage production and business results. Designed for successful, experienced Originators, Branch Managers & CEOs the magazine and Vegas event provide what is needed to break through to the next level.
In today's mortgage market, we need every advantage we can get… Here are some sobering statistics. The majority of mortgage originators will likely see a 20–40% decline in personal income from last year. And if that is the worst that happens, they are the lucky ones. If rates go up, tens of thousands of mortgage originators will be leaving the business.
What makes the difference between thriving and barely surviving in the mortgage business, in any economic climate? Answer: It's not the interest rate or service. It's the skills, strategies and systems developed and implemented by each mortgage professional. That is the key element.
On June 3-4, 2015 at The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas, we have assembled an elite group of mortgage coaches, thought leaders and top producers including President George W. Bush. Tony Robbins and Barbara Corcoran are the keynote speakers on November 4-5, 2015 at the Borgata Resort in Atlantic City.
Discover the 29 Best Strategies for "Purchase Business"
Plus the Psychology of Targeting "Top Producing" Referral Partners.
The last few years have been turbulent in the mortgage industry. Over 70% of your competition has been swept away. The mortgage industry has experienced dramatic changes and for many originators it has been challenging. Never before has investing in yourself been more critical.
Implementing the turn-key strategies, predictable loan systems and marketing secrets generating results for the nation's top mortgage producers — those earning $500k, $900k and $1,500,000+ in personal net income, even in today's turbulent mortgage market — can help you take your business to the next level.
At Mortgage Executive Magazine and Mastermind 2015 we are serious about helping mortgage executives & mortgage originators who are serious about creating stable, healthy, personally fulfilling businesses. The mortgage business is fun and creative and challenging and filled with possibilities. What it's not is easy or effortless. If you are looking for a "get rich quick," "I don't want to spend any time," "business should be easy" approach to building a mortgage business, this is not the place for you. You can create a mortgage business that gives you time and freedom and money, but it will take work. We are here to help, but we can only help the originators, managers and executives who are willing to work for it. We take pride in getting our clients results, but we are only half of the equation.

Madison Murder Mystery Ink - The Little Sleep
Mark Genevich is a South Boston P.I. with a little problem: he's narcoleptic, and he suffers from the most severe symptoms, including hallucinations. These waking dreams wreak havoc for a guy who depends on real-life clues to make his living. Clients haven't exactly been beating down the door when Mark meets Jennifer Times—daughter of the powerful local D.A. and a contestant on American Star—who walks into his office with an outlandish story about a man who stole her fingers. He awakes from his latest hallucination alone, but on his desk is a manila envelope containing risqué photos of Jennifer. Are the pictures real?

Gene Correction of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cells for Children with Artemis Deficient SCID

Public Abstract:
Children born with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (SCID) are unable to fight common infections and often die within the first 6 months of life. These children have a defect in white blood cells called T and B lymphocytes which are essential for fighting bacterial, viral and fungal infections. The most severe form of SCID is the result of an inherited deficiency of an essential chemical in the body called Artemis (SCID-A) without which T and B cells are unable to develop. Artemis is an essential component of a process which repairs DNA (the instructions in cells which make us who we are) when it is damaged or cut during normal metabolic activities. Because of this, children with SCID-A are also more sensitive to typical chemotherapeutic drugs used for bone marrow stem cell transplant (BMT). The only cure for SCID is a BMT but for children with SCID-A, a successful BMT is often more difficult to achieve and usually only restores T lymphocyte function so that children remain dependant on supplemental therapy called gammaglobulin for the rest of their lives. Also children with SCID-A who are exposed to high doses of chemotherapy necessary for a successful BMT are more likely to die following a BMT and if they do survive, these children do not grow well, have more difficulty in school, and fail to develop normal permanent teeth. For these reasons, if the patient's own blood stem cells could be corrected by inserting a normal human Artemis gene into their DNA and these cells put back into the patient's bone marrow to grow and restore normal T and B lymphocyte function, many if not all of the problems associated with BMT would be eliminated. We have developed a novel way of inserting the normal human Artemis gene into the DNA of mouse blood stem cells and have been able to cure Artemis-deficient mice that we created. We propose to complete the necessary studies for obtaining approval from the FDA for an IND and to initiate a clinical trial of gene-corrected blood stem cells in children with Artemis-deficient SCID.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Artemis-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-A) is a rare disease. However, the results of this study will advance the field not only for gene therapy using vectors which are more efficient and less toxic that the first generation of retroviral vectors, but also for our understanding of niche space in the marrow and the degree of open niches needed to achieve durable engraftment and correction of hematopoiesis without using full myeloablative pre-conditioning. The results of this study will apply not only to children with SCID but also to those with other disorders including hemoglobinopathies (thalassemia and sickle cell disease), which can be corrected without the need for full donor chimerism. The State of California was among the first states to initiate newborn screening for SCID and patients diagnosed with SCID-A in California (as well as elsewhere) will benefit from this therapeutic approach.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark - Racist, anti-Islam comments by Republican candidates in the southern state of Arkansas have put their party in hot water ahead of looming November vote, with a state lawmaker writing that slavery might have benefited blacks, and a candidate advocating expelling Muslims from the United States.
"I see no solution to the Muslim problem short of expelling all followers of the religion from the United States," wrote Charles Fuqua of Batesville, Arkansas, who is currently seeking a House of Representatives, Reuters reported.
Fuqua, an attorney, served as a state representative from 1995 to 1998 before losing a state senate race.
According to The Arkansas Times newspaper, Fuqua's comments appeared in his e-book "God's Law: The Only Political Solution" which came out in April on Amazon.
Another Republican state Representative wrote that slavery might have benefited blacks in his self-published 2009 book titled "Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative."
"The institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise," state Representative Jon Hubbard of Jonesboro, Arkansas, wrote.
Hubbard, a retired teacher and Vietnam veteran who was elected to the statehouse in 2010, also wrote, "Wouldn't life for blacks in America today be more enjoyable and successful if they would only learn to appreciate the value of a good education?"
His book also says that blacks "are likely much better than they ever would have enjoyed living in sub-Saharan Africa."
Although there are no official figures, the United States is believed to be home to between 6-8 million Muslims.
Struggling to overcome the political storm ahead of November vote, the Republican Party of Arkansas swiftly denounced their comments and distanced itself from the two candidates.
"The reported statements made by Hubbard and Fuqua were highly offensive to many Americans and do not reflect the viewpoints of the Republican Party of Arkansas," state party chairman Doyle Webb said in a statement on Saturday cited by Reuters.
Webb blamed Democrats for drawing attention to the two books, which he called "distractions."
The Democratic Party of Arkansas swiftly responded to the appalling comments of the GOP candidates.
"With these appalling views, Jon Hubbard cannot be trusted to represent Arkansans and set policy for our state," Candace Martin, spokeswoman for the Democratic Party of Arkansas, said.
Jay Barth, a political science professor at Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas, agreed.
He referred to the controversial comments as a throwback to the 1960s when Arkansas was a civil rights battleground.
"It's hard to remember a set of remarks this extreme on racial matters by an Arkansas official since the state's politics modernized in the late 1960s than that by Mr. Hubbard," Barth said on Saturday.
Hubbard and Fuqua's comments are not the first embarrassment to the Republican Party.
Last September 2012, a video of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has surfaced in which he makes disparaging remarks about Americans who support President Barack Obama.
The comments by the Republican candidate were recorded at a private fundraiser after the primary season ended in which he described almost half of Americans as people who pay no income tax and are dependent upon government.
Those voters, he said, would probably support President Obama because they believe they are victims who are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it.

text: To Be Feared Is My Fear 2Chapter 2- Home or House?The lessons of the day crawled by. Minute by minute , hour by hour. I stayed in my cubical for lunch and most people would be glad to go home by the end of the day. However home (or more accurately the house) was only marginally better.I walked slowly home in the cold. The sky was grey like paper which has had pencil lead and water smudged all over it. The sky reflected my mood more than even the blackest nights would. I find night beautiful, I remembered Mother's wise words I like the night, without it we wouldn't see the stars.How right she was. In the depths of winter when the sky was black I loved to see the light of the moon, the stars, the car headlights and the lamplights contrasting against the darkness. Whoever said blackness was despair was wrong. Blackness makes me happy, it makes me see the hidden beauty in the world but grey skies speak of monotony, despair, loneliness and regret. The sky matched my mood. I was t

Jurassic Sidereal Day
Name: Jerry E. Status: Other Age: 50s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: May 2001
The Earth's rotational rate is decreasing slightly each year. Eons ago, around the time the moon appeared, the rotational rate was reportedly around 3 times faster than today (8hr sidereal day).
During the Jurassic period what was the length of a sidereal day?
What effect did the shorter but more frequent days have on plant and animal life?
How did it effect average temperatures, winds, ocean currents, plant and animal growth rates, rate of water evaporation, weight (centripetal force), tectonic plate movements, etc.?
What research material on this subject is available?
Assuming that the rotation rate of Earth was greater, although the amount greater could be debated, there would be some effects on weather patterns and thus on climate.
A rotation rate as large as you suggest, 3 times the present, would surely spawn more energetic ocean currents and weather patterns, with greater vorticity (spin rate). Low pressure systems would have been more intense, high pressure systems deeper but perhaps smaller, wind speeds would have been higher, ocean currents stronger and more far reaching, and all of these systems would have moved around the Earth faster. Hurricanes, if they could exist, would have been more devastating.
However, this scenario would also have meant that the transfer of energy from the tropics to the poles (both by ocean currents and by the atmosphere) would have been more efficient, probably resulting in the global climate being less diverse; the poles would probably have been warmer than today and the tropics perhaps slightly cooler.
However, again, all of this may have been tempered by the shorter day length, which would not allow the Earth to warm as much while exposed to the Sun or to cool as much when in shadow. It would require a model to be able to get an idea if having three "days" within what is now one day would have made a difference in global temperature or seasons, evaporation and heat exchange between the Earth and the atmosphere, and thus what effects there would have been on plant and animal life.
During the period of the Earth we are speaking of, it is generally assumed that the land masses were not in the same place or the same shape or size; so, ocean currents and atmospheric motions could have been significantly different from what they are now as a result of these differences alone.
Tectonic motions surely would have been enhanced, resulting in ,perhaps, more and stronger earthquakes and greater volcanic activity.
Since centrifugal forces would have been greater, and assuming that the mass of the Earth was the same, everything would "weigh" slightly less, as gravity would be slightly overcome. Gravity has less effect at the equator (0.0035%) than at the poles because there is no centrifugal force at the poles. If we consider the effect of an Earth spinning 3 times as fast, at the equator the radial velocity of the Earth would be three times what it is now (1395 m/s compared to the present value of 465 m/s). The centrifugal acceleration is determined as the square of the radial velocity divided by the Earth's radius (~6400 km). The faster spinning Earth decreases our "weight" by only 0.028% at the equator, not enough to notice. However, the increased rotation rate would slightly increase the diameter of the Earth at the equator and slightly decrease the diameter at the poles.

What are your needs?
Before even beginning to delve into which specific laptop is best suited for your needs, the main question lies in what the primary use of the laptop will be. Students tend to look for something which is small and mobile but powerful nonetheless, while gamers and professional users may look to the notebook as a replacement for a desktop. Being able to understand why you need the laptop is fundamental in being able to decide what type of laptop will best suit your needs.
Let's now try to break your laptop purchase down into several categories to help you decide what you really need.
LCD size
The size of the LCD screen is amongst the most marketable features laptop makers pursue. What size fits your needs? The tiny HP Pavilion starting at 12.1" is amongst the smallest LCD screens available for Windows-based systems. It's tiny compared to the gigantic 17" wide screens offered by Toshiba and many others. For students, mobility being the primary concern, many buyers tend to take the 14" route equipping themselves with a decent but not too large LCD screen. LCD screens play an important role in the weight of the notebook, as the larger the screen the greater the weight affecting that already-heavy school bag.
17" laptops are purely targeted towards professionals and gamers looking to replace their desktop with a smaller and a comparatively compact solution. Do not let the word "smaller" fool you if you don't think moving it will be a problem. 17" laptops can be quite a challenge hustling around from lecture to lecture and on daily commutes.
Throughout the notebook market, there are several options in regards to different types of processors. Intel, the largest processor maker, produces the Pentium M, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, and the Celeron M. Rival processor maker, AMD, has produced two competitive processors, the Turion 64 and the Turion 64 x2 Dual Core.
The Intel Core 2 Duo is the most superior of Intel chips, offering extremely fast processor speeds and extended battery life, compared to its predecessor, the Core Duo. The Core Duo is slightly cheaper but offers a respective decrease in speed and battery life. The Intel Celeron, which is a lower model of Intel chips, is sold at a relatively low price while still offering adequate speed with low battery life. Celerons are known to perform slower than both the Centrino and the Pentium and are not advisable for the majority of notebook buyers, including students.
AMD, a rising name in the computer world, has recently tied the knot with HP to produce AMD notebooks offering comparative speeds at relatively lower prices. The AMD X2 Turion offers performance comparative to the Core Duo, while offering good battery life and a comparative price. The HP AMD X2 at an average price of $999 is comparable to the Core Duo laptops at an average price of $1000 as well. The Core 2 Duo laptops can range from $1,200 and up, depending on the extra features and LCD size.
Hard drive and RAM
Alongside the processor and the LCD size, every notebook user will need sufficient disk space to be able to save their work. Most notebooks today come with between 80 GB to 120 GB of hard drive space. A notebook that is solely being used for work purposes will find that 80 GB is more than enough storage space, while movie (and Nasheed) addicts will be tempted to pursue the upper end nearing 120GB. The speed of the hard disk is also an issue to be considered. While the normal 5400 rpm drives are enough for the casual user, more avid users would prefer the faster 7200 or 10,000 rpm drives.
RAM (random access memory) is memory that allows the computer to perform its necessary functions while it is running. Multi-tasking and running various programs at once require more RAM. Notebooks today come with at least 512MB of RAM up to 2GB of RAM. The minimum RAM suggested by most experts for steady performance is at least 1GB, while 2GB would be optimal. In most cases, when the video card is "integrated" – meaning it shares the RAM to run graphics on the computer – it is advisable to choose a notebook with more RAM to compensate for the loss. Notebooks today also have easy-access "memory-doors", allowing the user to easily upgrade the RAM in their notebooks.
Extra features
Besides the processor, the memory, the hard drive and the LCD screen, many companies include extra features in the hope of enticing the customers. Some of these features are very useful while others not so much, but it all depends on your needs.
Video cards can be the key to good gaming in notebooks. Gamers prefer dedicated video cards resulting in an increased price, whereby an average student looking to use the computer for surfing, email, movies, and regular schoolwork will be more than satisfied with an integrated video card. Toshiba alongside many other companies recently unveiled "fingerprint technology" on their notebooks, allowing the user to log in with the touch of a finger, saving the password hassle. Apple has powerful receivers for detecting wireless networks and a nifty power cord which pops out if someone trips over it.
But don't forget that with the addition of features, the price on the notebook will start to increase quite drastically!

" An affordable weight loss program proven to help you lose weight without feeling hungry! "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Well I started diet chef about three weeks ago. The food was tastey but little did I know may be it's the worms which were given the lovely flavour! Guess what, I found a WORM in my minstrone soup today! I contacted diet chef and was less than impressed with their response. I need to send back the worm and food at my own expense 'for analysis'. A photo apparently isn't good enough. I would avoid - god alone knows how many worms I've eaten and haven't seen. I'm so upset about this! Be careful, check your soup!!
I have tried Diet Chef for the last 2 weeks. My experience:
1- I was feeling hungry all the time, some times i eat additional snacks to fulfill my cravings & hunger
2- High sugar contents and low fibers and protein. this is why feeling hungry all the time.. simply it does not give you the full feeling after the meal.
3- High in sugar and sauces.. that what trigger migraine if you are migrainer
4- High in sugar that elevate Insulin.. high insulin levels may stop fat burning as the science said.
5- If you are diabetic or pre diabetic consult your physician before starting Diet Chef
6- To feel FULLER. I decided to add more protein and fiber to my diet by adding eggs whites and OatBran to my soups and breakfast, Plus vegetables and Fruits.
7- Most of the recipes taste good.
8- the portion quantity is very small.
9- If you are looking for a healthy food, DIET CHEF does not provide that kind of food. High sugar, low in Fiber Diet is not healthy.
I would not recommend Diet Chef to any one. I may try Go Lower after i finish what i have got from Diet Chef.
I had about 1 1/2 stones to lose and joined Dietchef in January to give it a try. I followed a 1200 calorie plan and have to say I didn't feel hungry. The food is good and feels like it's home made. In addition to the food they send you, you should add 2 portions of fruit, one portion of vegetables and 250 ml milk.
The first few days I followed that plan by the letter and felt a bit hungry on some days. When I calculated how many calories I was getting, I found that it was about 1000 calories or less. I went on their website and found out on the discussion board that you are supposed to add food to cover the extra 200 calories you are missing. To me that didn't make sense, as I was under the impression that with the 200 pounds I am paying for a month, I was supposed to get all the food I need for a day. Anyway I ended up adding either bread or rice fr 200 calories to dinner. I never felt hungry after that. On some days I even felt full and didn't believe I would lose any weight.
I stuck to their diet the first 5-6 weeks and lost about a stone. I had some of their food left and since then I have been mixing days where I eat their meals with days where I eat normal food (and sometimes indulge) and haven't gained any weight back (June).
The food doesn't need to be stored in the fridge and lunches and dinners come in pouches that you can just pop in the microwave. Heating the food up takes from 2-4 minutes. Use by dates are far in the future (around 6 months or so).
The website offers support as well with the discussion board and tools to find set weight lose goals and time limits.
delivery is free if subscribe for 2 months or more and costs about 4.95 otherwise. I find they never deliver on the day they state but it's not a problem for me as I don't have regular hours and can be home when I am expecting a hamper. Food comes in several cardboard boxes. One time dinners where packed in smaller boxes with about 10 in each and you can remove the top half making the food easier to store. Next time however it wasn't but I still had the boxes from before so I just re-used them.
There are 3 main categories: porridge, granola or Muesli cereal bars. Each come in 4-5 different flavours. I like porridge the most as it's more filling and I find theirs even better than Oat-so-simple. Granola is nice too especially the chocolate flavour but it has more calories and is less filling. I don't really like the Muesli bars and only ordered a couple to try but that's probably just me.
Lunch is basically soup. The have a lot of different soups and although I am not a big soup fan, I do enjoy them. Some have vegetable chunks in them which makes it feel more like a meal but all are nice. There are many vegetarian options but some have meat. They also have 4 flavours of milkshakes but I think soup is as far as I would go with a liquid lunch so I gave them a pass. I tried them once though and they are quite heavy.
Dinner is either a stew-like type or pasta. There are a few vegetarian options but not many. The lasagna is nice but smallish and they also have cottage and shepherd's pie. Meals with rice or pasta in them are more like the sauce with a little pasta or rice thrown in, you could almost miss it. The chicken paella is especially delicious although it smells like fish for some reason! The food tastes nice but I find the sauces to be a bit excessive compared to the vegetables or meat. I tend to pour some of it out and have it as a side soup or something. Although they have a lot of options it gets a bit boring after a while since the main categories of food are the same.
The popcorn is really nice and is a generous amount with only 100 calories. You can either choose salted, maple syrup or salt and vinegar. Salt and vinegar tasted horrible. The oat bites are nice and the cookies are ok. However, the snack bars were just awful.
Customer Service
I needed to postpone a delivery date once because I was going away. I didn't need to hold long and they were really nice and helpful. I called outside office hours so I was told I had to call the next day to change the date. I didn't have to call as they called me back the next day to confirm the change.
After trying a number of diets - and my husband's weight increasing and thus his snoring - we have both signed up to Diet Chef. We've both lost half a stone so far (five weeks) and are quite pleased, especially as we've had to eat out a few times with limited control over what we've had to eat and haven't done any extra exercise.
Don't be too put off by the outlay. We've saved money with less take aways and buying shopping that we don't get round to cooking and thus we've stopped throwing money away. If you use this voucher MYECE@GK you'll get £10 off at the checkout.
We've also saved time - it's very quick. Most meals 3 minutes so perfect after a long day at work.
We've envitably liked some meals more than others but it's easy to make changes in the website to your next order.
Neither of us have felt particular hungry except when meals are due although we weren't sure when we saw the size of the meals. It's certainly teaching us something about portion control.
Would recommend Diet Chef.
I think the food is really good and it works as well but they have got an awful customer service. You can pre-order the hampers for a certain day which is important for me because I work full time so I can only order it for a Saturday.
I never received the goods for the day I ordered them, so I phoned them up and got told it would definitely arrive the next day. So I wasted another day to wait for the delivery which never turned up and I phoned again. This time they gave me a consignment number and promised that the goods will arrive the next day.
Indeed, something arrived the next day but it was only one box with soup in it, all the other items of the second box were not delivered !!!
It is really a shame, they could make a good business out of this concept, I can really recommend the food and it works as well, but this awful service makes you want to go nowhere near this company again.
My partner is looking to start the dietchef regime. I have the concern that a restricted diet like this 1400 calories per day is not healthy.
As a male I have always been led to believe to lose weight effectively do it a couple of pounds a week.
Can I have some reassurance from people who have done this diet that it isnt harmful heath wise. she enjoys running so how can she get enough calories to keep doing that.
Can you only eat what is provided as part of the weekly food package or can you supplement it with fruit etc. I guess to have the full benefit you stick to the 1400 a day with no other snacks.
Do people who do this also take vitamin supplements etc. I would welcome any helpful advice as I want to be supportive on this . I have an existing medical condition which means I cannot join her on this diet. I have spoken to my dietician about this and I await feedback which I will post on her
thanks to all for your comments in advance
I started on the diet chef plan almost 3 weeks ago now and am absolutely amazed at how easy it is to follow! The food is delicious and is ready within 2-3 minutes of popping in the microwave. It requires no refrigeration and is easy to store. The diet chef company are very easy to contact on the telephone (no queuing on the line) and delivery of the diet chef hamper was problem-free.
I am particularly pleased that there is a great online forum. Rather than going to a weekly slimming class for support and encouragement - there is a whole online community of people all on diet chef. New people are joining every day and it's like being part of a club of people all chasing the same goal. We share tips and offer support to anybody who might be struggling - as well as getting to know each other online.
I had 3.5 stones to lose when I started on diet chef 3 weeks ago - so far I have lost 13 pounds! I think this is a great loss considering it has been so easy - and I have not increased my exercise level very much at all (only a little more walking)
For the first time in years I know that I am going to reach my target weight. My motivation is as high now as it was on day one. The variety of meals for meat-eaters is fantastic - no need to be bored. The food really does taste home made and with it being low GI it keeps you feeling full for many hours.
I have no negative comments to make at all from my point of view - the only negative point I can see is that the vegetarian choices are limited at the moment. Other than that - it's all good!
I would definitely recommend diet chef to anybody thinking of trying it - I have already ordered my 2nd hamper!
Diet Chef is a diet for those with busy lifestyles, or even those like me who regularly fail to stick to diets which involve lots of faffing around counting calories, carbs or points.
In a nutshell, a hamper containing breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks is delivered to your door. All you need to do is add some vegetables or the odd piece of fruit.
I desperately needed to lose weight and I'm currently working two jobs thanks to the credit crunch. I chose Diet Chef (www.dietchef.co.uk) because I simply didn't have the time, energy or will to do a complicated diet. I ordered the 35 day hamper at'a cost of £190 ( or £5.42 a day) and did it via quidco.com to get 10% cash back. So a total of £171 for 35 days worth of food - not bad!
The hamper was made up of:
- 35 breakfast pouches of Lizi's Granola
- 35 lunches consisting of soup by Look What We Found
- 35 dinners consisting of meals by Look What We Found
- 35 snacks consisting of bars by Nakd or sweet oat biscuits by Nairns
An interesting point about this (and a selling point for me) is the fact that these products do not contain artificial colours, flavourings or other un-natural stuff so often found in diet food. I did a bit of reading up on the products and it seems the Look What We Found range are cooked at high temperatures in a pressure cooker type method already sealed in pouches. This method means that you don't need to keep the food in the fridge and it lasts for up to 6 months.
Given that information I rather expected the soups and main meals to taste a bit bland or plasticy. I was therefore pleasantly surprised - they taste no different to something that's just come off the hob of a country kitchen. They are delicious! I ordered the following from the range:
Soups -
Country Cured Ham & Pea
Spicy Cumbrian Beef & Tomato Soup
Tweedside Honey in English Parsnip Soup
English Tomato Soup with Cheviot Cheese Pesto
Free Range Chicken Soup with Lemon Thyme
Wild Mushroom Soup with a Dash of Sherry
Dinners -
Gloucester Old Spot Pork Meatballs with Butter Beans in a Rich Tomato Sauce
Herdwick Mutton Stew
Wild Rabbit in Leek & Elderflower Sauce with Camargue Red Rice
Home Reared Beef in Black Velvet Porter with Maris Piper Potatoes
Beef & Basil Meatballs in Tomato Sauce
Cumbrian Lamb Hotpot
Fellside Beef Casserole
Home Reared Beef Chilli Con Carne
Traditional Pork & Herb Sausage Casserole
Cooking these was as easy as pie. You have the choice of opening the tops of the pouch a little and popping in the micro, emptying into a pan or putting the pouch unopened into a pan of boiling water (so very handy for camping enthusiasts!).
Since I wanted to keep everything as simple as possible for days I was really tired I elected to buy bags of steamed veg to go with the main courses which meant I could throw a bag in the micro half-way through the dinner pouch cooking. On days with more time I get a lot of green vegetables or stir-fry vegetables. Some of the dinner pouches look like the sort of thing you'd have with pasta and in those cases I'd make courgette ribbons and stir-fry them quickly.
The snacks are very good quality. I've always liked Nairns so was pleased to get those.
Doing some calculations I think you could probably buy the products from supermarkets cheaper if you only elected to buy a week's worth of Diet Chef however for the 35 day hamper ordering via Diet Chef is definitely cheaper (Look What We Found retail at £2.99 so that'd be £104.65 for the dinners alone!).
All in all I found the diet very tasty and easy to stick to so much so in fact that my other half has now asked if he can join me in it!
The important past is weight loss. Well I'm two weeks into the diet and have lost 13lbs so far. I don't feel hungry and for once I actually look forward to the next meal.
I would like to say that this is a superb new way of losing weight.
It works on the idea that you buy all your food from them, have it delivered, and with the addition of a couple of portions of veg/fruit you are able to lose weight without having to plan meals, cook them, or guess portion sizes.
I sent off for the meals twice and have been delighted with the quality. The food is highly nutritious and is low GI to keep you feeling full for longer.
The Basic Idea is-
Cereal for breakfast-this is a small packet of Lizi's Granola to which you can add milk.
Lunch is a lovely soup
There is a good snack in the form of a Nak'd bar for keeping you going in the afternoon which is a healthy snack full of natural ingredients.
For dinner there are good meals which you add to with veg.
You can have thier set meals or you can pick and choose and there are vegetarian options too.
The price is good and works out at less than £7 per day.
It is cheaper if you order for more than one week as you can save on postage. If you use a cash back site like Quidco you will also be able to save money buying from them.This may change so check a few cash back sites to see if you can get discount.
Now if you can be disciplined having looked at the food they send to you, it is possible to do the same thing yourself more cheaply by buying many of the items yourself in bulk from various suppliers- but this will mean the temptation to overeat may get you! However many of their foods are prepared themselves but some are commercially available like some of the soups which you can buy in Waitrose. You can buy Lizi's Granola and Nak'd bars on line in bulk too.
I was actually amazed at the amount of food and the calories it represented. I am vegetarian and thought I ate healthily but when you look at the portion sizes I soon realised where I was going wrong. It has made me serve up much less to myself since trying the diet.
If you are looking to lose weight without any temptation then try this, I think it's brilliant and you will succeed if you keep out of other shops as much as you can. It does say you can have days off for special events and it doesn't recommend alcohol which is a bit tough but it takes all the hard work out of planning a diet.
It isn't recommended if you have a BMI of more than 30 and there are other groups who should not do it but if you go to their site it will calculate your BMI for you and tell you about the groups it is not suitable for.
As a bonus their meals are fantastic for camping and much cheaper than those you can get in a camping shop. You don't need a fridge for any of them and you heat them up on the stove or microwave. We took some to a spot near Holy Island last week and we sat in a field eating delicious soup heated up on the camp stove!
Good luck to the founders-it's a great idea.

Andrew rallies past H-F into sectional championship
Andrew's Kelly Christner (right) runs to her teammates after scoring the tying run against Homewood-Flossmoor. | Larry Kane~For Sun-Times MediaUpdated: June 2, 2011 8:45PM
Andrew sophomore Kelly Christner's way of preparing for Thursday's Class 4A Lockport Sectional semifinal against Homewood-Flossmoor was to hit out in the back yard earlier in the day with her sister, Katie.
It didn't go so well.
"I hit really bad," Kelly said. "She told me in the house, 'You know, Kelly, even though you hit bad out in the yard you're going to go out there and go 3-for-3 today.' "
She did better than that, going 4-for-4.
"After the game (Katie) was like, 'I hate you! You know, I told you you were going to do good,' " a laughing Kelly Christner said after Andrew's come-from-behind 6-3 win.
Jenna Lenza added two hits while Brooke Hofer blanked H-F over the final four innings for the T-bolts (28-9), who advanced to Saturday's sectional championship game against No. 2 Sandburg (27-6).
Moochie Werner and Kaitlyn Shereyk both were 2-for-3 for the Vikings (18-17).
It wasn't until Christner's fourth hit that the T-bolts were in a position to win. The hit, an RBI single in the top of the sixth, sent home Shannon Rust (hit by pitch) and tied the game at 3.
Lenza and Jessie Tucker later added singles during a four-run outburst that gave Hofer some breathing room.
"They (teammates) were putting the ball in play the entire time," Hofer said. "I knew that we were going to score some runs in the end."
Hofer recovered nicely from a rocky start in which she struggled to find a tight strike zone, retiring 15 of the final 16 batters she faced.
"I wasn't getting the pitches that I wanted to so I had to adjust," Hofer said. "Once I adjusted the defense stepped up and we were fine."
H-F scored twice in the top of the second, the highlights a double by A.J. Contreras, a base hit by Werner and a bases-loaded walk by Melanie Hamilton. Shereyk led off the third with a two-bagger before Werner made it 3-0 with an RBI single.
Vikings pitcher Sarah Burke worked out of jams in both the first and second innings before Andrew broke through with a two-spot in the third. Kelly Christner was the igniter with a leadoff bunt single, while Lenza provided the clout with an RBI double to dead center and Katie Burke an RBI groundout.
Burke stranded three more runners in the fourth and fifth, but couldn't escape the sixth, which began with Rust not exactly spinning away from a slow, inside changeup. H-F coach Katie Rice-Hoger approached the umpires looking for a non-effort call on Rust, to no avail.
Dani Bestwina followed with a sacrifice bunt, after which hits by Kelly Christner, Lenza and Tucker sent Andrew on its way.
"It was a good season and we're really happy with where we're at," Rice-Hoger said. "We just kind of let this game get away from us.
"(Burke's) defense was behind her 110 percent today. It probably wasn't her best game ever, but she pushed her way through. Everybody gave 110 percent."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A toboggan is a simple sled which is a traditional form of transport used by the Innu and Cree of northern Canada. In modern times, it is used on snow to carry one or more people (often children) down a hill or other slope for recreation. Designs vary from simple, traditional models to modern engineered composites. A toboggan differs from most sleds or sleighs in that it has no runners or skis (or only low ones) on the underside. The bottom of a toboggan rides directly on the snow. Some parks include designated toboggan hills where ordinary sleds are not allowed and which may include toboggan runs similar to bobsleigh courses.
The traditional toboggan is made of bound, parallel wood slats, all bent forward at the front to form a sideways 'J' shape. A thin rope is run through the top of the loop to provide rudimentary steering. The frontmost rider places their feet in the loop and sits on the flat bed; any others sit behind them and grasp the waist of the person before them.
Modern recreational toboggans are typically manufactured from wood or plastic. Larger, more rugged models are made for commercial or rescue use.

The toboggan is a recurring prop in the Calvin and Hobbes comic. Comic author Bill Watterson uses it (or, alternatively, a wagon) as "a simple device to add some physical comedy to the strip, and [he] most often use[s] it when Calvin gets longwinded or philosophical."[1]
The National Championships of Tobogganing were won this year[when?] by the Barstool Bad Boys of Bogan'n at Camden, ME.

Only someone as resilient as an 8-time Mr. Olympia can undergo a delicate spinal procedure and call it "cosmetic surgery." Big Ron Coleman is home now and on the mend from a late December hospital stay at which he had a Cervical Disectomy Fusion of his C4-C5, C5-C6 and C6-C7 and downplayed it as much on his Twitter account.
"I'm going home," he tweeted on December 29. "Cosmetic surgery was a huge success. I'll be back on stage in a couple of weeks."
Coleman further tweeted that he had the operation to add more size to his already massive frame. "It never hurts to get bigger."
The 5'11", 330-pound former champion has not competed since placing fourth at the 2007 Olympia but has never officially announced his retirement and seems to enjoy frequent rumors of his impending return. Coleman has kept himself busy with guest posing appearances in the years following his record-tying Sandow run (1998 to 2005), as recent as December's IFBB Pro World Masters.

TNA President Dixie Carter has revealed more details about tonight Final Resolution PPV via her official Twitter account:
"(Tonight's) Final Resolution pay-per-view will kick off with Rob Van Dam vs Christopher Daniels. Should be a great way to start the PPV."
"Sting just called me w/an addl stip for tomorrows Jarrett v Hardy PPV cage match. If Jarrett loses, either he OR Karen will be fired."
Sounds like a great plan to open the PPV. If Rob and Christopher are at the top of their game, this match will really raise the bar for the rest of the night.

fredmcmurray Posts: 215The best thing I've added to my garage in a while is an overhead, retractable power cord reel. When I need my shop light I just grab it a drag it where I need it. When I'm done, a snap of the wrist and it puts itself away. It is so much nicer than dragging out an extension cord everytime I need more light.
driftracer Posts: 2,692all these years of wrenching on my own stuff, and I just got my first compressor for Christmas this past year - awesome....a little loud, but I don't use it late at night or early Sunday mornings.
I could put in a drive-on pad-type lift, but there's no room on either side of even our smaller vehicles to work on them.
Thank the Good Lord for my new (second) job, perks include full run of a UTI shop...I could align all four vehicles at the same time! Whoda thunkit? -
lilengineerboy Posts: 4,116This thread might be too old , but I wanted to get suggestions. I have previously had access to a magnificent garage full of very industrial, if old, equipment. No longer having that, I am working on setting up a home shop. I need an air compressor. Not a 12v tire inflator, but a real, power a DA sander or HVLP spray gun compressor. I'm not a pro and I don't mind waiting for the compressor to catch up with the sander, but I want it to be able to support spraying paint and an impact wrench (who puts those flywheel/crank pulley bolts on there?).
I have been told the oil type are quieter, and the belt drive is quieter, and a 30 gallon tank vs a 60 gallon tank separates the men from the boys (or women from girls). It all seams to play out in the CFM at 40 and 90 psi. How much do I need? How many trade offs do I need to make for a $400 price point? -
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,988Anyone here using a rolling tool cart? I don't have a big collection of hand tools but my bench isn't big enough to keep my two smallish tool chests on it and get any work done. So I've been pricing the cheaper carts at the auto stores and big box hardware stores.
The ball bearing drawers seem sturdier, and drawers seem more useful than cabinet space. I'm thinking if I just get a lower unit I'll gain some more bench type space too.
Any recommendations for a light duty one?

fljoslin Posts: 237To figure out the cfm at pressure that you need, look on the tools that you intend to buy. They all have different ratings even for similar tools. The tank is simply a reservoir but usually larger tanks go with larger compressors. I had a 17 gallon Campbell Hausfeld compressor which lasted about two years of very light duty before it died. Replaced it with a 30 gallon Craftsman last spring ($250 floor model). One problem is that you should drain the tank after each use to reduce rust. The 30 gallon tank seems to take a very long time to reach pressure and a long time to discharge. Both of these were oil-less (no added oil) belt drive and the 30 gallon one is not what I would call quiet. Also, look at the amperage. I think that my 30 gallon is at 15 amp/120v. Any bigger and you need 220v.
sthacker Posts: 6While we're on the topic of air compressors, I'm looking for one to inflate car tires. Here's a post I recently put up on the tire thread:
I'm lookin for an inexpensive, well functioning air compressor. Any good recommendations out there? Does the type that plugs into the lighter outlet in the car work well?
Would a cheapo like this do the trick?

lilengineerboy Posts: 4,116Thanks for the advice, I found the 2hp/33gal on sale last week for $265 so I grabbed it. It came with a small impact wrench, air-ratchet, and a sander. Here is to hoping my garage actually has a 20 amp circuit
Now the next time I have to do CV boots or front suspension, I'm all set, and I will probably pick up a HVLP sprayer to take care of some paint chips on the daily driver. -
mako1a VirginiaPosts: 1,781My friend works at a steel mill and gave me a piece of titanium that had been shaped and sharpened to chisel shape. It is 10 inches long by 1/4 in by 1/2 in. I use it more than any hand tool I have. Great emergency tool as it will cut almost anything except hardened steel and is unbendable. I loaned it to my neighbor who was removing a stubborn muffler. He said thanks, but I don't want to bend your little chisel. I said don't worry, just use it and bring it back. He came back and asked "what is that made of? It didn't bend or even scratch and I put some torque on it." Light as aluminum and strong as...well titanium. Dave

actualsize Santa Ana, CaliforniaPosts: 286If you're like me and you need to change tires a lot at track days or autocross events, you need this tool.
It's a Snap-On 1/2"-drive breaker bar, with a twist - literally. It combines the hand-crank shape and of a speed handle, with the pivoting end of a standard breaker bar. Here's a link
The nearly 18" handle length allows me to break lug nuts loose, and the wobbly bit lets me straighten it out and spin them off quickly in speed handle mode. Installing is, as they say, the reverse of removal: Spin the nuts on with mixer action, then bend the handle 90 degrees to seat them.
I'm gagging on the current price though. I didn't spend that much when I bought mine.
Still, if you are changing tires out at the track every other weekend, you need this.Twitter: @Edmunds_Test
benztuner Posts: 76">link titleI own a Mercedes-Benz CL Structural certified shop so we are mandated by MB to purchase so many new tools each year and because we are a CL Structural shop we have to have tools to work on aluminum, boron, etc. We've got a bunch of cool tools. We've got a air puller (AP95) made by Wielander and Schill, this thing is awesome. If you've got a dent you take the "gun" and set the depth you need it to be pulled to, depress the trigger and the tip drops down welds to the surface pulls to the set depth and twists to break the weld, all in one fast step. Thats it, move over and hit the trigger again then go back in between those to make sure you've got it right.
We got a bad welder made by Wielander & Schill, we've got the second one in the country as of now. It is the new Inverta Spot GT. This thing records every weld, you can put the VIN, operators name, invoice number, etc and it stores all this info in the welder's computer so you can go back and look at exactly how many welds were put in that car and how much time it took. But the most important thing about this welder is how powerful it is. The new Mercedes, BMW, etc use boron/high strength steel and you need high amps to securely weld these products. The last Inverta Spot GT we bought a few years ago could weld 9,000 amps however that isnt powerful enough for these new cars. The new cars are welding sometimes 12,000 amps, so this welder will not safely weld these cars. The new Inverta Spot GT welds at 14,000 amps.
As NACE we took 2 pieces or 1/8" thick boron and welded it with the 9,000 amp welder where the two pieces overlapped. We added another weld on each side to make it even stonger. We took the "bar", held it up and hit it with a small hammer......it broke, so imagine what would happen if you had been in an accident and your car was repaired with at 9,000 amp welder or less and then 6 months later you got into another wreck, not a good situation. Thats why this new Inverta Spot GT is essential for high-end repairs. A 14,000 amp welder that makes little to no noise, has a magnetic field less than 30% of the legal limit, can store 100,000 welds, you can weld with it all day without replacing the water supply and you can weld all day and then touch the tips and they not be hot at all, that is a cool machine.
Wielander and Schill makes some of the best stuff around, take a look at their website, <a href="http://www.wielanderschill.co.uk/html/news.htm -

zaken1 Posts: 556A buddy of mine bought a fiber optic based tool that looks like the borescope. We inserted it through the spark plug hole on a 4 cylinder Yamaha motorcycle engine. I could see some marks on the cylinder wall, but it was extremely difficult to know what you were looking at, or just where it was in the cylinder. We decided it was useless for locating anything other than major engine damage.
zaken1 Posts: 556It may not look very impressive, but a spring loaded center punch has become one of the most useful and valued tools in my collection. It is much, much easier to use this tool for making punch marks exactly where you want them to be. And it saved my neck one day on an isolated highway near Bakersfield when a check valve came loose in the Holley track fuel pump on my Mopar; and cut off the fuel flow. We took the pump apart, found the check valve, pressed it back into place, and center punched a row of dimples above the rim of the valve to keep it in place. That was 3 years ago, and that pump is still working.

It is well lit for dark areas, and is also very compact. I use it all the time I would have to say it was $200 well invested.
