We tend to think about retirement, naturally enough, in terms of saving. And as we get closer to the day we plan to retire, we start to think about retirement spending - or at least we should. But a disconnect happens for most people when they try to match what they have saved to what they think they'll need to cover their living expenses in retirement.
The reason is that throughout our working lives, income and spending are paired together. We know how much we make, and therefore we know that our spending should be equal to or (preferably) less than our income. When it comes to retirement, relating the lump sum in our savings accounts to spending is neither simple nor clear.
How Much Dough for a Cup of Joe?
Here's an example: What if I told you that $9,701 for a cup of coffee is a good deal? Before you decide I'm crazy, consider this scenario: Let's say you are 55 and one of your favorite things to do on weekends is walk to your local coffee shop, buy a large cup and chat with friends. When you think about retirement, which you plan to do at 65, you imagine doing this every day. How much will that cost? Let's assume that today your coffee costs $1.95 per cup. And for simplicity's sake, let's remove inflation from the equation and assume the price of your cup will not change. That means:- Each year of coffee will cost $711.75.
- Ten years of coffee will cost $7,117.50.
- If your retirement lasts 30 years, you will eventually spend $21,352.50.

Vans Half Cab "Loden" by Brendan Dunne 5 Comments
October 2, 2012 BY Aaron Hope / 1
This summer's tradeshow season revealed a collaboration between Vans and Metallica celebrating the 30th anniversary of Kill Em All, but as you might guess based on the insistent tone of that album, these guys don't just sit around waiting for things to happen. So the Chicago Bulls of heavy metal pushed it up a year to get in on the 20th anniversary of Steve Caballero's most famous Off the Wall signature, and the Metallica x Vans Half Cab came to fruition as this month's Artist Series collab. This blackout canvas and suede design adds 'Motorbreath' lyrics on the sides and album art on the translucent outsole, and is available now directly from the official Metallica site.

Would You Be Satisfied LyricsArtist: Jean ShepardAlbum: Heartaches And Tears You're far away and yet you're still here by my side You're dreaming now of bygone years of honky tonks and bars and beers If you were free and could go back there would you be satisfied Cause on the day we were wed you woved to face the road ahead But now you're living in the past that should have died Now if your life you could renew do the things you used to do But didn't have my love to turn to would you be satisfied [ steel ] Each evening when the sun goes down you yearn to go out on the town I can see it in the gaze you try to hide Those honky tonking memories are haunting you constantly My deary fate should steal you from me would you be satisfied You know that I have never asked about your dark and sinful past I've always loved you and I stayed right by your side But now if fate should take your hand and lead you down that road again To all those honky tonks you danced in would you be satisfied

Vagina: A New Biography
By Naomi Wolf
Ecco/HarperCollins 400 pages, $27.99
Vaginas are getting a lot of ink in the news these days. Everyone seems to have an opinion about them, especially folks who do not have one. In August, Rep. Todd Akin, a Missouri Republican, made his infamous comments about the vagina's seemingly supernatural powers to prevent pregnancy in the case of sexual assault: "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." But Akin has not been alone in supporting this widespread myth, one among many about the "ways" of female biology that persists in modern times.
Such lingering popular ignorance is a reason that Naomi Wolf's new book, "Vagina: A New Biography," is particularly timely and thought provoking. This despite some of the author's own extreme leaps into mystical, zany territory — which are sure to leave many feminists fuming, or, more likely, just feeling perplexed.
Part of Wolf's stated mission is to fill a real gap in reporting the latest scientific findings on female sexuality; after all, it's been decades since the last large-scale national blockbuster analyses of biology. Masters & Johnson's famed report was published in 1966, "The Hite Report" in 1976.
Wolf makes a basic but legitimate point about how different a woman's sexual response may be from a man's — beyond just the multiple O's. Recent findings have shown that many seemingly disparate parts of women's sexual anatomy, such as the cervix, can be involved in orchestrating sexual response. (Wolf uses the word "vagina" to refer to "the entire female sex organ, from labia to clitoris to cervix). She goes out on a limb, though, when she names the "brain-vagina connection" and asserts that "the vagina is part of the female brain, and thus part of female creativity, confidence and even character."
Defining women according to their privates is a direct challenge to 1970s feminists who fought to separate, and liberate, women from them. That sort of thinking had previously limited women, keeping them out of public life for centuries. Today, women feel more secure considering real biological differences, but they still view some "experts'" interpretations of those differences with caution.
This is the seventh book by Wolf, a provocative social theorist who rose to prominence in 1991 with her best-seller "The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women," written while she was still in her 20s. For women of her generation (and mine), the book was a breath of fresh air that made feminism relevant and media-friendly. I was lecturing widely on college campuses at that time, and I witnessed firsthand how Wolf's was the first explicitly feminist book many young women read.

You must accept the added responsibility and scrutiny that comes with being armed.

IRS warns of new phone scam
by Blake EllisFor New Pittsburgh CourierCNNMoney.com—Taxpayers, beware: Fraudsters impersonating IRS agents are calling people across the country demanding they pay taxes that they don't even owe. The IRS warned of this "pervasive" scam on Thursday, saying it has been identified in nearly every state. Innocent taxpayers—often immigrants—are answering their phones only to be informed they owe money to the IRS and need to pay it immediately by either loading money on a prepaid card or sending it via a wire transfer. If they argue or refuse to pay, scammers will threaten to arrest or deport them, or suspend their business or driver's license.

About Us
Passport Information
Ferry Tickets
General Questions
Questions About Payments
Questions About Tax Statements
Questions About Transfers
Selling real or personal property. What do I need to know? All transfers of property require a Real Estate Excise Tax Affidavit be completed and filed with the Treasurer's Office, along with payment of excise tax, prior to being recorded in the County Auditor's Office. Personal property or mobile homes, may require advance property taxes be paid at this time as well. We will not accept incomplete affidavit forms, nor can we provide legal advice as to how to complete them.
Beginning March 1, 2011:
You may use the single copy .pdf version, not the Excel version, of the Real Estate Excise Tax Affidavit (REETA), and all other REET forms, including Mobile Home, and Supplemental Statements. Please be careful that you don't reduce the print and/or form size when printing these documents from the DOR website. We will only accept one original legal size (8.5 x 14) signed document, if not submitting the 4-part legal size carbonized form. Once reviewed and receipted, we will make the necessary photo copies. Please provide 4 copies of all attachments, on standard letter size paper (8.5 x 11). Including, but not limited to, legal description, and any attachments required by the WAC rules.
Notice to Title Companies, Escrow Agents and Attorneys:
Effective with the 2007 tax statements, the Whatcom County Treasurer stopped maintaining mortgage company information in our taxpayer database. All tax correspondence will be mailed to the parcel owner, or their designee, but not to a mortgage company or tax service. Because of this change, if a mortgage company address appears on a new Excise Tax Affidavit in Section 3 (Tax Correspondence) it will be returned for a better address, or the representative presenting the document will be asked to change it. Section 3 will usually be blank with only the "Same as Buyer/Grantee" box checked. We will continue to provide and accept payment information from mortgage companies electronically. If you have any questions regarding this change please contact us.
Gifting property. What do I need to know? There is a Real Estate Gift Supplemental form that must be signed by both parties, and must accompany a completed Real Estate Excise Tax Affidavit. These documents are filed in the Treasurer's Office and are subject to a minimum filing fee if there are no taxes due. How long do I have to process my property transfer and pay excise tax? Thirty (30) days from the date of sale to avoid interest and penalty on the excise taxes due. I am buying and / or moving a used mobile home. What do I need to know? If the mobile home is GOING TO BE MOVED as a condition of sale, obtain a tax certificate (moving permit) from the Assessor's Office. There is no charge for the tax certificate. Take the tax certificate to the Treasurer's Office to be certified that any property taxes due on the mobile home have been paid, and receive an orange decal which must be displayed on the mobile home while it is being moved. It is a violation of Washington state law to move a mobile home without a validated tax certificate and orange decal. When all property taxes have been paid, the Treasurer's Office will issue a tax verification form (half sheet). The tax verification form, and the current mobile home title, can be taken to the Licensing Department in the Auditor's Office to pay sales tax and transfer the title into the new owner's name.
If the mobile home is NOT GOING TO BE MOVED, go to the Treasurer's Office to complete a Mobile Home Excise Tax Affidavit and pay any excise tax that may be due. This Affidavit must be signed by the buyer and the seller, and is required along with the current title, to transfer title in the Licensing Department of the Auditor's Office. Please be careful that you don't reduce the print and/or form size when printing these documents from the DOR website.

If two points are in exactly the same position, they should not be considered two separate points, do you agree?
In which case, there must be a finite non-zero distance between every two points, yes?
Any non-zero number multiplied by infinity must equal infinity?
In which case, if there are an infinite number of points, the total distance must also be infinite. The total distance cannot actually be infinite, therefore there cannot be an infinite number of points, as far as I can see. Again, we have to accept the minimum size plank length to get around such paradoxes.


text: This afternoon I got to handle a dealer sample Kahr P380 and I immediately put in an order. A friend who owns the shop says he expects them in March or April. These P380s are everything the LCP isn't. Although the P380 is just a tad bigger it feels much more comfortable in the hand and the sights are much better. The best thing is that it still weighs under 10 ounces. The Chicago PD just approved these for Special Operation officers who sometimes work deep cover. When I get mine I'll post a range report comparing it to my LCP.

Patricia J. Hollen, PhD, RN
Oncology nursing interventions in Quality of Life outcomes
Dr. Patricia Hollen is the Boyd Professor of Oncology Nursing at the University of Virginia. She is chair of the Cancer Center Nursing Research Council (CCNRC), working with 10 members from the School of Nursing and Cancer Center who are interested in cancer research. She is co-chair of several interdisciplinary research study groups (lung cancer, breast cancer, and brain tumors) that have been formed by the CCNRC.
Her research interest lies in understanding the effect of intervention on quality of life for different high-risk populations. For cancer-surviving adolescents, her intervention has been focused on refining decision-making skills to reduce risk behaviors, which is an area of increasing national emphasis due to late effects of treatment. She recently completed a large outcomes grant from the Oncology Nursing Society Foundation and now has an application, A Decision Aid for Cancer-Surviving Adolescents, in review at NIH.
For adults with the progressive disease of lung cancer, her emphasis has been on measurement of quality of life as an endpoint for testing new therapies during clinical trials. She has been one of the developers of the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS), which has been used for over 15 years on six continents by many of the major pharmaceutical companies. She has been a consultant for these clinical trials related to symptomatology and quality of life as an endpoint. The original LCSS was evaluated for feasibility, reliability, and validity in nearly 1,000 lung cancer patients at eight cancer centers in the U.S. and Canada. The outcomes have been published in journals such as Cancer, European Journal of Cancer, Lung Cancer, and Supportive Care in Cancer. The measure now has 46 tested languages. An electronic (hand-held pc) version is being tested in a 10-site community practice study in Canada. Hollen has also been a part of two studies that have determined an appropriate interval for quality of life assessment in clinical trials for lung malignancies. She has been the primary investigator examining models related to symptoms during treatment and their effect on quality of life for two populations: 144 patients with lung cancer from six cancer centers in the U.S.; 495 patients with mesothelioma from 19 countries. She is an invited speaker to the 11th World Conference on Lung Cancer in Barcelona, Spain in 2005 and she is currently waiting to hear the outcome of an NIH application, A Decision Aid for Patients with Advanced Lung Cancer, which has a fundable score from NIH.

Injunctions available to enforce foreign arbitral awards, BC court says

A few months have passed since Tomoya declared his love to Nagisa. Now their relationship is entering a new phase, and neither is quite sure where it will take them. As their friends move on to lives of their own, Tomoya and Nagisa get ready to start a family of their own. But Nagisa's health has always been precarious, and an event that should bring nothing but joy delivers tragedy instead.
Picking up where Clannad left off, After Story follows Tomoya and Nagisa over the next ten years of their time living together as a family.
The course of love doesn't always run true. Nagisa may have accepted Tomoya's proposal, but her father, Akio, withholds his permission until Tomoya can meet his terms... and even if that can be achieved, darker clouds are gathering that will shatter their dreams forever, as Nagisa's health begins declining.
Tortured by his past and pained by an uncertain future, Tomoya drifts through life with an almost overwhelming anger and emptiness. But when he meets the mysterious, beautiful, and shy Nagisa, his world seems to change. Drawn in by her gentle but lonely spirit, he begins to experience the joy life can bring. But as he discovers the reason for his newfound friend's loneliness, Tomoya also finds that life can be frighteningly fragile.
Tomoya Okazaki is a high school student who resents his hard life. Then he meets a strange girl named Nagisa Furukawa, and his life begins moving in a new direction.
Plagued by a seemingly endless stream of haunting dreams, Tomoya drifts through life with an almost overwhelming sense of anger and emptiness. Then, one fateful day, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Nagisa and his world begins to change. While helping Nagisa revive the defunct Drama Club at their high school, Tomoya discovers that she has the same dreams. Their story starts beneath the cherry blossoms, but where will fate lead them?

Developing a Vision
On this page:
- Activity 1: Carousel
- Activity 2: Story Tapestry
- Activity 3: Visioning Statements
- Activity 4: Gallery Walk
Visioning Activity 1: Carousel
Invite team members to form groups of four or five people. Place each of the following questions on a chart. Create four stations, with one chart each.
- How would we like our community to be different five years from now?
- How can we expand choices for literacy and lifelong learning for people of all ages?
- Where is there a need in our community to provide literacy learning opportunities?
- How might a Community Literacy Plan help us to realize our hopes for our community?
The groups visit each chart in turn, spending up to five minutes on each question. Ideas are recorded on the charts. At a signal, the groups move on to the next chart. They read the comments, add to them and place check marks where they agree with a previous statement.
When all the groups have visited all the charts, post the charts on the walls and invite everyone to look at them again.
Everyone returns to their seats to address the following questions as a group:
- What patterns emerged?
- What are the most important ideas that have come to the surface?

Visioning Activity 2: Story Tapestry
The facilitator begins the activity after group members have had time to share their relationship/roles related to literacy in the community as well as their wishes for community literacy. The facilitator provides this introduction:
"We all have memories of our experiences of learning to read, write, and communicate. We remember our school days, the books we were given, and the joy or pain of those experiences. In our work we may be concerned with literacy as teachers, librarians, parents or in some other way. Take a moment to think about your literacy experiences, in the past or in the present. On a piece of paper, jot down some words, phrases, or a quick sketch that shows one moment from your life's rich experiences. Try to capture the feelings associated with literacy in that moment. This moment may be about yourself, or about someone else. Focus on the moment and try to capture it."
The team members write or draw for about two to three minutes. When all seem to be finished, members are invited to share their moment with the person next to them and talk about the feelings they had in that moment. When everyone has shared a story with a partner, invite the group to talk about the stories they heard.
"Please share one thing you heard your partner talk about."
As the stories are shared, have someone write down all the feelings associated with literacy that are mentioned. Review those feelings. It is predicted that a whole range of feelings will emerge from positive to negative.
Use the feelings revealed in the activity to help shape the vision for literacy in the community. Which of the feelings would the community want a literacy plan to foster and which would it want the plan to prevent?

Return to Community Literacy Team Planning Tools | Back to top
Visioning Activity 3: Visioning Statements
As a team, discuss literacy and your community.
- What would it look like in your community if literacy was going really well?
- What would parents be doing?
- What would early childhood providers be doing?
- What would educators and school administrators be doing?
- What would businesses be doing?
- What would community partners and organizations be doing?
Based on the results of your discussion, write a few sentences that capture your team's vision of literacy excellence.
Return to Community Literacy Team Planning Tools | Back to top
Visioning Activity 4: Gallery Walk
- Designate these five stations in the room:
- Babies and young children
- School-age children
- Young adults
- Adults
- Seniors
- Place large sheets of paper at each station. These should have a leading sentence such as: "Life for seniors in our community would be better if…" Have instructions at each station.
- Ask people to go to the station that interests them most. The task of the groups at the stations is to imagine your community sometime in the future, and to describe the desired literacy and learning opportunities available to the particular group of people.
- Rotate groups to new stations when directed by the facilitator. If they have similar ideas to earlier groups, they may star or check those responses. If they have new ideas, they can write them down.
- Return each group to their beginning chart at the end of the gallery walk. The group members can discuss how the chart has changed.
- Discuss the results of each station with the full group.
- Use the results to craft a vision statement for the Community Literacy Plan.

Governance – Prospettiva internazionale
Outside the United States, governance systems can differ considerably, reflecting diverse legal systems and traditions for interpreting and enforcing corporate governance legislation. Non-U.S. companies may have unfamiliar capital structures, regulatory systems, and cultures that challenge U.S. thinking on corporate governance.
One of the features of non-U.S. governance regimes is the corporate governance code. Codes of governance are typically voluntary compendiums of leading practices for boards, management, and shareholders. The most well-known of these is the code produced by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The OECD Principles of Corporate Governance have proven to be a model for other codes adopted by countries around the world.
Hot Topics
The value killers revisited - A risk management study
The value killers revisited" reexamines the 2005 study, in which Deloitte assessed the drivers of 20 percent or greater value losses in a company within a one-month period relative to a broad market index. Following up on the prior research, this study examines the drivers of major value losses from 2003 through 2012. This new analysis benefits from a rich new pool of data that reinforces previous findings and gives rise to new ones.

Boards and shareholders should work to ensure a framework in which decisions can be made that consider the best interests of the company and its varied body of shareholders.

Developing an effective governance operating model
In recent years, many boards of directors in the financial services industry have been working to bolster the effectiveness of their organizations' governance models. At the same time, senior executive teams have committed resources to enhancing governance frameworks. However, many financial services companies have come to realize that work remains if they are to put these structures into operation and institutionalize new principles. This Deloitte publication explains how boards, senior executives, and risk managers can implement a more effective governance model.

Women in the boardroom - 2013
Recent legislative efforts and other initiatives have helped bring women's representation in the boardroom to an all-time high. Despite this, nearly 90 percent of the world's board seats are occupied by men.

Dealing with date values is a core part of working with T-SQL, and SQL Server has several built-in functions to access and manipulate dates in your T-SQL scripts, functions, and stored procedures. Below are some essential T-SQL functions that work with SQL Server's classic datetime data type. SQL Server 2008's newer functions also deal with the new date, time, and datetime2 data types.
Related: T-SQL Function finds Almost Any Kind of Date
Probably the most essential of the date4 functions,
returns a datetime data type containing the current system data and time: 2009-07-07 11:52:26.687.
2. DATEADD (datepart, number, date)
DATEADD lets you add values to a given date and returns the result as a datetime data type. Entering
adds 30 days to the date from the example above: 2009-08-06 12:01:38.950.
3. DATEDIFF (datepart, startdate, enddate)
This function returns a single integer data type that represents the difference between two dates. It can return values for years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, and more:
returns 187 as the difference in days between the example date and the beginning of the year.
4. DATEPART (datepart, date)
To return an integer that represents a portion of a valid date, DATEPART extracts all parts of the datetime data type including years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds:
returns 7 as the example date's month.
5. DATENAME (datepart, date)
Like its name suggests, DATENAME returns the name of a given part of the date:
It can return almost all parts of the date including the name of the quarter, the weekday, or as here, the month: July.
6. ISDATE (expression)
This function tests if the value supplied is a valid date:
In this case, it returns a value of 0 (false) indicating the date is invalid; if it returns a value of 1 (true), the date is valid.
7. DAY(date), MONTH(date), YEAR(date)
These date functions are like DATEPART but a bit easier to work with:
They each return an integer representing the supplied date value—in this case, 1,1,1900.

An Afternoon of Arts
08/30/2011"S-T-A-U-N-C-H. They don't weaken."By Natasha Gallipeau
Connecticut College is combining two annual events into "An Afternoon of Arts" on May 6, and the public is invited.
"Jazz in the Courtyard" is the spring concert by the Jazz Ensemble and Traditional Jazz Band, performed - as the title indicates - in Castle Court, the art-filled courtyard between Cummings Arts Center and Palmer Auditorium. The groups, under the direction of Gary Buttery, will cover works by Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Irving Berlin and George and Ira Gershwin.
This year, "Jazz in the Courtyard" will be followed by the opening of the 2011 Senior Thesis Exhibition, in which 19 senior art majors display pieces in mediums ranging from porcelain and metal to new media and wintergreen transfers. The exhibition will run through May 22.
"We're always happy to host members of the community and even more so this year as we celebrate our Centennial," said Margaret Thomas, associate professor and chair of the Department of Music. "And what better way to spend a spring afternoon than taking in some music and art on our beautiful campus?"
"An Afternoon of Arts" is free and open to the public. "Jazz in the Courtyard" begins at 4 p.m. and the exhibition kicks off at 5 p.m. with a talk by the student artists. (In case of rain, "Jazz in the Courtyard" will take place in Evans Hall in Cummings Arts Center.)

The FiiO (E07K?) won't have any surround sound, but apart from that it is nice DAC/amp.
To summarize:
Asus U3, U7, Essence STU would be for surround sound on laptops. The U7 and Essence STU will have decent amp/dacs.
FiiO E07K would be for an stereo DAC/amp for PC.
DSS/Mixamp would be for a surround sound on consoles.

Prairie State College (PSC) offers a quality education at an affordable tuition, and there are many special learning opportunities available to students who choose to start their degree at PSC:
The Honors Program is a series of courses designed to reward students who are high achievers. Each is a special section of a regular course. Students who have enrolled in honors classes at PSC have:
— Enhanced their transfer and job opportunities. Each is a special, smaller section of a regular, general education course, and will be designated "honors" on your transcript. At some transfer colleges, honors credit qualifies you for their honors programs and/or special scholarships.
— Enjoyed a rich educational experience in a creative and challenging atmosphere, with individualized attention from instructors. The courses feature such extras as small class size, field trips, and/or guest speakers.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) students have not only some of the most demanding academic careers, but also some of the most rewarding professional careers. Any student pursuing an associate in science degree at PSC is considered a STEM student. STEM@PSC is dedicated to student success by building a supportive learning community, beginning with first-year students and guiding them throughout degree completion and the transfer process.
Each semester PSC offers a variety of Learning Communities, combining two courses from different disciplines, giving students who enroll in them an opportunity to explore the connections between the two fields with the guidance of the two professors for the courses.
— Two professors, two courses, and one group of students are the ingredients of Learning Communities at PSC. One of the advantages of this approach is that certain assignments count in both courses. Additionally, both professors work with the students to help them achieve success in their studies.
— Another benefit of the Learning Communities is the community of learners that develops. As a community, students and their professors become partners in the pursuit of knowledge and skills necessary for success in a complex world.
Whether you're a high school student, an adult juggling family and work responsibilities, changing careers and needing to retrain, someone in need of English-language training, or a lifelong learner seeking a personal interest class, PSC has something for everyone.
Spring 2014 registration is now open. Hundreds of courses are offered days, evenings, weekends, and online to accommodate busy schedules.
Credit courses begin Jan. 14. Non-credit courses include a variety of single-day and multiple-session offerings that begin throughout the spring. Students are encouraged to register early to get the schedule that best fits their needs.
Both credit and non-credit courses are listed in the spring class schedule, available on the PSC main campus, located at 202 S. Halsted St., Chicago Heights. The schedule also is available at area public libraries and online at prairiestate.edu.

Harry's Rules (Harry being Harry S. Lodge, M.D.) are only seven, but they completely reverse the typical path of aging. Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life. Quit eating crap. Connect and commit. And to prove it is his star patient, the no-punches-pulled Chris Crowley, a 70-year-old who left the slippery slope of retirement and turned his life around. Harry tells you what to do. Chris tells you how. And their argument is irresistible.
You're a guy. You have responsibilities. You think about the future, the 401K, the kids' schools. There's one other thing you can't afford not to think about: yourself. Marrying science and reality, Younger Next Year is a convincing and passionate argument that if you train for the Next Third of life, you'll have a ball. Follow its simple rules and you'll find yourself in perhaps the best shape, in mind, body, and spirit, of your life.
©2004 Chris Crowley and Henry S. Lodge, M.D.; (P)2004 HighBridge Company
"Brain-rattling, irresistible, hilarious. If you're up for it...it could change your life." (The Washington Post)
"Younger Next Year is a wiscracking but scientifically serious guide to health." (Newsweek)
"Excellent information"
I am a 43 year old physician and I found this book to be very informative, educational and motivational. I am recommending it to all of my friends and some patients. I am only giving it 3 stars because of the painful over the top reading of the parts for Chris Crowley. This book has co-authors and the person reading the Chris Crowley parts is so painful to listen to that I bought the book so I could read his portions of the book. The reader for Mr. Crowley is overly dramatic and ruined HIS portions of this book for me. However if you can get through the book, you will do yourself a big favor. The results are amazing.
"Great ideas but written for MEN"
Disappointment. Some of the info and ideas could have easily applied to both men and women but the book was really written to appeal to and specifically for men. The tone and manner of the authors and narrators were 100% old boy. That should have been made clear in the review.
And Funny too! I am a 54 year old woman. I've been working out about 6 days a week .. every week since I was 21....so as the book says I don't look 54. But I have been suffering from burn out the last few years. Over 30 years of going to the gym...can't I catch a break? This book got me excited again. It provided me with reasons to keep going and I loved his naration. I found it well written, funny, and I intend to listen to it again as soon as I finish.
"Entertaining and Motivational"
I'm a 40-something woman--not the intended audience for this book--but I loved it. Complex physiological aging processes are explained in a clear and motivational way. So are exercise benefits. I loved the focus on health rather than appearance, and the straightforward, you-can-take-it-you're-a-grownup style. There was plenty of substance for me AND it was HILARIOUS. I find it easier now to do the things I know I should do (eat right, exercise regularly). If I can get my husband to listen to it, I'm sure he will like it.
"Don't wait until next year to start!"
Aimed at men, it was a good mix of motivation and the "whys" of how the program works. The authors don't tell you specifically what to do to exercise (there are plenty of other books for that), but they damn well tell you why you shouldn't wait another day to start. If you're over 50, 60 or 70 it's not too late and in fact it's aimed at you. If you're under 50 (but getting close) you'll see the long term benifits of beginning a long-term exercise program and looking at your life now to prepare for the "last third" and making that last third as much fun as the middle third!
"I can't wait to get to the gym!"
I'm a 51 year old woman and found it extremely motivational. I have gone to the gym for most of my life and this book helped me understand why heart rate, nutrition and good relationships are so important.
I have also changed up my routine since reading the book and I am having better results for my age.
Chris's language is a bit gritty, but I'm sure you men will appreciate that. I do wish there was more for women in it.
"Outstanding Motivational Book"
This book has got me off my butt and back into exercise mode. Chris speaks to you as if he is your best buddy. Henry gives you the details of how your body works and why he is recommending particular types of activities. Most of the book focuses on exercise stating that it is the most difficult aspect of the program. This is a great book for anyone who needs a little push to get started exercising. It's written to appeal to men but women can get the same benifits.
"My next adventure"
I laughed, I learned and I shared. This book tells it like it is for the last third of your life, in a very funny way. My wife is now listening to the edition for women and we are having fun discussing what she is learning each time she takes a listen. It is bringing us closer by presenting dialog to us that we would have trouble discussing otherwise.
"Terrific book!"
Love the narrators, love the concept - folks have been telling me this same stuff for years, but this is written in a down to earth understandable style that finally puts it into perspective. Only downside is: this version is ABRIDGED! Offer the unabridged version and I'll buy it again!
"Simply the Best"
This is my favorite out of about 50 non-fiction titles I have listened to in the last few years. I have actually started exercising everyday for the past four months as a result of listening. It may be a cliche, but this book has changed my life. I disagree with other reviewers that don't like the narration, the Chris Crowley narrator holds my interest and is fun for me to listen to. I am a clinical psychologist and have recommended the audio version to several patients.
"Horrible audiobook"
Both narrators sound like used-car salesmen and come across as smug, insincere, conniving and with an agenda. There are a few golden nuggets hidden in the book, but really only enough to fill a few pages and the rest seems to be a waste. I would not recommend this audiobook at all
The narration is annoying. The two voices sound like they are from beer or toothpaste commercials. Totally artificial and disingenuous
There are some nuggets up to the point I couldn't take any more. Exercise more regularly, eat more healthy food, be bold and join groups. Hmmm
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Looting, Cannibalism and Death Blows: The 'Shock and Awe' of Ant Warfare
- |
- 7:30 pm |
- Permalink
The Gathering Storm
According to Moffett, we might actually learn a thing or two from how ants wage war. For one, ant armies operate with precise organization despite a lack of central command."We're accustomed to being told what to do," Moffett says. "I think there's something to be said for fewer layers of control and oversight."
Which, according to Moffett, is what can make human cyberwar and terrorist cells so effective. Battles waged on the web are often "downright ant-like," with massive, networked groups engaging in strategic teamwork to rise up with little hierarchy. "Such 'weak ties' — wide-ranging connections that take us beyond the tight-knit groups we interact with regularly — are likely of special importance in organizing both ants and people," Moffett notes in his book.
Ants are also ultimately loyal, fighting as a "superorganism" rather than individuals. Even the most patriotic humans can't compare: "It'd be like having an American flag tattooed to you at birth," he says. "They are permanently indentured to their society." And while ants will readily die for their community, they're also remarkably pragmatic — a characteristic humans rarely emulate.
"An ant would never go out of its way to save another ant," Moffett says. "They go in to get the job done, not take care of one another."
So with all the strategy, ruthlessness and brute force, which ant species reigns supreme? We might soon find out, thanks to a looming "mega-battle" Moffett's anticipating in California. There, two species of ants — Argentine and fire — are preparing to duke it out for the state's 164,000 square miles.
"In their native habitat, Argentine ants are forced into trees whenever the tide rises," Moffett says. "They had to reset their battle lines each time, so over time, they became programmed to forget how not to fight."
Fire ants, already widespread in the southeastern United States, adapted in much the same way. And while Argentine ants are well entrenched in California, with supercolonies of millions displacing lesser species, fire ants are trickling in "every time grandma from Louisiana brings her grandson in L.A. a potted plant."
Which army will win out? Even Moffett's not sure. "There's no way to tell," he warns. "The two invaders appear to be equally matched."
