Franklin — Built in 1985, Franklin's Water and Sewer facility is now cramped, and has been for some time.
Over the years, the facility has seen the addition of more people, more equipment, and more vehicles to the point where the city is now considering what must be done to accommodate it all.
The 2,800-square-foot building, located at 5550 W. Airways Ave., was originally designed to accommodate the city's Water and Sewer Department, which purchases water from Oak Creek and distributes it across the community.
What's crammed in
Whereas four people worked there at the start, the department now operates with 10 employees in the original facility, despite cramped conditions.
The building's operation room, which contains three computer stations, is only a few feet from the meter test bench used to measure the city's water meters. Between 45 and 50 tests are conducted each month.
"Electronics and water aren't a great mix," acting City Engineer Ron Romeis said during a tour of the facility. "It's a tight fit for what they're doing in here."
The operation room isn't the only tight fit in the building.
A computer workstation is located directly behind a parking spot for one of the department's trucks. Five other vehicles, varying in size, are parked inside the building's attached garage.
The proximity of the garage doors to the workstations also affects the room temperature, said Mike Roberts, superintendent of the Sewer and Water department.
"You lose about eight hours worth of heating (in winter) or cooling (in summer) just by opening the bay door," Roberts said.
Lacking garage space
Key vehicles used by the department no longer fit within the facility, despite efforts to accommodate them.
An outside garage, built 20 years ago as a high school project, stores a larger vehicle. The garage door was intentionally bowed out six inches to fit the vehicle inside.
"At any given time, we have two to three vehicles parked outside because there's just no room," Romeis said.
The department also utilizes up to four other facilities for storage across the city because of the lack of space, he said.
"The conditions are incredible," Romeis said, "We've been at capacity for about 15, 20 years … but this just goes to show how these guys can adapt to get the job done."
Expansion plans
A space analysis study on the building, conducted in 2008 by Graef-USA Inc., found that the facility was too small for operations.
The Board of Water Commissioners recommended suspending any action regarding the study due to economical concerns at the time, but land surrounding the facility was purchased with the intent of future expansion.
Graef-USA Inc. later designed a concept plan for a 16,900-square-foot addition to the existing building — an expansion of more than six times that of the current facility.
Recognizing the need for a larger facility, the Common Council unanimously agreed on Aug. 19 to accept bids for a new building.
The concept design for the addition includes 13,600 square feet for vehicle and equipment storage and 3,300 square feet for offices, work stations, a conference room and locker rooms.
The new building would also contain energy-efficient features, such as skylight fixtures.
The existing facility would be used solely for storage.
The project, estimated to cost $3 million, would be funded through the city's Water and Sewer funds, with each fund absorbing half the cost. The project was included in the city's 2014 budget.
The city is scheduled to award a bid on Oct. 7 with a possible construction date of Oct. 15.
Roberts said he was hopeful the expansion would be approved.
"Bringing everything under one roof would make it easier for us," he said. "It would help improve our efficiency and operations."

Learning at School
> easing the transition to Montessori
My son, now 12 mo will be attending a toddler program at a Montessori school when he turns 18 mo. I've observed the class several times and it looks like such a big jump from what he's doing now. I want him to enjoy his time there and not be too stressed by the fairly strict order with which the class is run. Is there anything I can start doing with him now to prepare him for the class? Do I have to run my (very "casual") home like a Montessori school?

hi Kanga, I just pulled ds out of the waldorf parent toddler program because I felt he got stressed. And its such a lovely enviroment and toys etc etc, I would suggest just be open to whatever your son feels ok with!
This experience made me feel like theres nothing like home for ds you know, home the way it is, the way he knows it, its really home sweet home for him.
I was all excited to go myself but he didnt really seem to need it, it was more for myself I guess.
Maybe later he will like it a lot, well see.
Your babe might just love the montessori program, if you want to give him some familiarity with it you can sing some songs from the program or play in the way they do there, same kind of toys and materials, still the change is going to be huge because is a different place with more people, noises, smells, etc etc. But if he knows some songs or games that might happen, he will feel more like "hey I know this"!
Good luck!

It's a good extension, but there should be an easier way to turn it on and off, like just clicking the icon to turn it on and off. It seems like I have to click on it, then go into settings, then click on the top entry.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (184.108.40.2068).It's actually easier than that!

Give a Kidney for Christ —
Most people have probably heard that old urban legend about a guy who shares a drink with a stranger at a bar and then wakes up in a bathtub full of ice the next morning without a kidney... the victim of kidney harvesters. But the following case is almost the exact opposite. Members of the 'Jesus Christians' cult are lying and scheming in order to get rid of their kidneys, even though the medical authorities don't want them. The leader of the cult, Dave McKay, encourages his followers…

Bank Stocks to Avoid as Credit Worries Mount
Like a pinstripe-clad Roger Daltrey, bank investors were wondering
First Union
(FTU) and
Bank of America
(BAC - Get Report) shook up the financial sector with cautionary words Tuesday evening about their
The bad news sent investors scouring their portfolios for lenders whose loan-loss and nonperforming-asset trends could point to emerging problems. Using those and other guidelines, three analysts shared their thoughts on which bank stocks might be vulnerable.
Bank One (ONE), still plodding through a major restructuring, leads the list of credit-risk-exposed stocks compiled by analyst Jennifer Thompson of Putnam Lovell. "Bank One is not only seeing pressure on the commercial side, but has indicated that consumer loss rates are trending up," says Thompson, whose firm rates Bank One a hold and hasn't done any underwriting. "They also have a fairly large auto-lease portfolio, which could continue to feel pressure as well." Bank One stock fell 5% Wednesday. Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) is another bank to avoid, Thompson says, noting an auto lease portfolio that could spur a second consecutive writedown in the fourth quarter. (She rates Huntington a hold, and her firm hasn't done any underwriting for the bank.) Huntington dropped 1.4% Wednesday. SunTrust (STI) and Wachovia (WB), both of which "have seen an increase in problem assets," are also stocks to keep an eye on, says Thompson. (Both stocks get the hold rating at Putnam, and the firm hasn't underwritten for either bank.) "In general, the areas that a lot of these banks are feeling pressure in areAnxiety
Though credit quality issues have loomed over bank stocks since as least mid-June, when historically conservative Wachovia roiled the sector with aDisclosure
Still, Vandervliet thinks the bank sector as a whole is being taken down for "problems that are concentrated" at a smaller group of banks. On that note, some analysts are pointing to banks with what they see as a better grip on credit issues. Even as influential Merrill Lynch analyst Judah Kraushaar cut earnings estimates on Bank of America Wednesday and noted "credit erosion taking place," he made some top recommendations for investors eager to stay invested in financials, including Citigroup (C - Get Report), Chase (CMB), Mellon (MEL) and Wells Fargo (WFC). Those stocks dropped between 1% and 4% Wednesday. And perhaps even credit worries can have a silver lining. With all the recent hand-wringing over telecom debt, Vandervliet says Hibernia, for one, has taken the rare step of laying out its telecom exposure, which appears to be minor. "Banks have historically been reticent to provide that kind of detail," the analyst says. "Now that the market is throwing the baby out with the bath water, this should prompt banks to give us more details about the industries they play in."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Draft Watch: Corey Brewer and Joakim Noah
Updated: May 30, 2007, 2:35 PM ET
Chad Ford | ESPN.com
CARSON, Calif.-- You'd think two straight NCAA titles and Most Outstanding Player awards for Joakim Noah in 2006 and Corey Brewer in 2007 would be enough to shore up the credentials of both players heading into the NBA draft.
But watching the former University of Florida stars work up a sweat from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, you'd think they were fighting for their NBA draft lives.
I spent Monday at the Abunassar Impact Basketball training center here watching Noah, Brewer and a number of other prospects work furiously throughout the day in preparation for the 2007 NBA draft. President and co-founder Joe Abunassar took Noah and Brewer through state of the art training that included customized meals, strength training, skills work and five-on-five work.
Abunassar, along with Tim Grover of A.T.T.A.C.K. Athletics in Chicago, is widely regarded as one of the elite trainers in the NBA. He trains Kevin Garnett, Chauncey Billups, Baron Davis, among others, in the offseason.
Here's a look at one long, grueling day for a couple of future NBA stars.

Making the Tough Decision to Send My Homeschooled Kids Off to School
By Deanna Martinez on August 20, 2013
Featured Member Post
This month parents throughout America parents are taking their small children out into the yard with adorable letter 'K' signs, snapping pictures and sending them out into the cyber world, capturing for posterity their child's first day of school.
In years past, I have simply ignored these pictures as they float across the social media platforms, not because I don't like children or that I don't have children, but because I have homeschooled my children.
Credit: limaoscarjuliet.
For the past seven years, our typical first day of school at home in late August begins like all other days all other years: bright and early with a steaming cup of coffee, myself and my three children wearing pajamas. We would gather around the flag for the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer and then the children would fall into bean bags, or a pile of pillows with books, pencils and erasers piled up around them. Sometimes the dogs or the cat would join them for their studies. It never once occurred to me to print out their grade on a piece of paper and stand them in the yard. I know what grade they are, and everyone else I know has been clued in that I am certainly too busy schooling them to print out their grade.
Suddenly that image of the smiling child holding his grade number seems terribly, terribly significant. Because this year my two oldest children will go to school. Real school. With desks and teachers. With grades and report cards.
I would like to stand them in the yard with a large number 8 and 6, indicating their respective grades to save for all posterity their first day of school, but I doubt their adolescent selves would consent to that, and so in our family's scrapbook there will be an apparent photo lacking. A coming of age ceremony that this homeschooling mom missed.
Back in February, sending them to school was clearly the right answer. Because homeschooling, no matter how rewarding is challenging. (Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying). As my oldest son became a teenager, it became even more challenging. On top of the normal challenging behaviors my son was beginning to experience, our academics became wrapped up in that turmoil. He was convinced that punctuation was something I simply annoyed him with; it was not an actual academic rule. I also made up the X in algebra -- in my spare time.
Every morning, instead of harmonious learning, I dug my heels in for a fight. Our fighting was negatively impacting the learning of my other two children. It took up a lot of my time and a lot of my energy. I began to notice that he had much more positive learning exchanges with his swim coach and the teachers at the enrichment program I sent him to once a week. It became clear that he needed someone other than me to educate him. While it hurt a little to acknowledge he had outgrown me, it also means he has grown -- which has been the ultimate end goal.
I spent much of the spring deciding where to send him to school and which program matched up best with the one I had used at home. I felt a wave of relief once I had made the decision. In the midst of this decision making process, I also decided to send my other son to school. He too is approaching adolescence, and while he is a different child, I have decided it will be a cold, cold day in hell before I try to homeschool another middle school child again.
I have felt firm and solid in this decision -- until this week. As I see these pictures of adorable children on their first day of school begin to circle around the web, as the supply lists begin to arrive in my inbox, as the school uniforms emerge from the laundry, all bright and red, blue and white, tan and navy, my heart begins to moan under the weight of this decision.
Visions of my boys curled up in beanbags dance before my eyes, lunches together, field trips -- their silly laughs, the fights and struggles. I don't know if I will ever heal from the hole they will leave in my heart and the aching silence that will fill my house.
While I feel my own pain poignantly, I am also afraid for them. I am afraid they will not make friends. They will hate school. They will not succeed. That I have not prepared them well enough.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Neal not active tonight
Green Bay - Here are the inactives for tonight's game:
For the Packers:
- DE Mike Neal
- CB Davon House
- S M.D. Jennings
- OLB Frank Zombo
- OT Derek Sherrod
- TE Ryan Taylor
- OLB Vic So'oto
Truthfully, it's not that surprising that Neal is inactive. If you consider he missed three weeks of camp with the injury, it's not surprising that he wasn't ready to play. It's probably not that he isn't healthy, but rather that he wasn't back to full strength athletically.
At this point, DE Jarius Wynn, who will start in place of Neal, is probably a better choice anyway because he has been playing all camp and is completely healthy. The Packers have Howard Green available for running downs, but don't expect him to play a lot because the Saints use multiple receivers quite a bit.
Here are the Saints' inactives;
- OL Matt Tennant
- TE John Gilmore
- K Garrett Hartley
- WR Lance Moore
- RB Joique Bell
- CB Johnny Patrick
- DT Tom Johnson
Remember, all teams can keep 46 players active this year, one more than in previous years.

WINDMILL COUNTRY: Parade, cook-offs, livestock shows on the card for San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Spring like weather Saturday — the forecast predicts temperature reaching 79 degrees and 14 mph winds from the south- southwest — should provide ideal conditions for the traditional San Angelo rodeo parade at 10 a.m. in the downtown historical district.
For the record, the first parade kicking off the annual stock show was in 1936 when Gov. James V. Allred led the procession on horseback, followed by the Hardin-Simmons University Cowboy Band from Abilene. The band was dubbed the "greatest rodeo band" in those days and played for more rodeos than any other band in America at the time.
Johnny Regan was the drum major and performed with ropes and bullwhips. The band members wore bright purple and gold shirts, purple chaps, 10-gallon hats and cowboy boots, according to a story in the Standard-Times.
The 1936 parade had more than 200 folks on horseback, an old-time open-air car and a prairie schooner pulled by a team of oxen.
While many things change with time, others stay the same. The count of mounted riders in the 82nd annual San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo parade this morning could pass 200, including the Santa Fe Trail riders, several visiting sheriff's posses and other riding groups.
Meanwhile, back at the fairgrounds, 50 E. 43rd St., the Junior Ewe Lamb Futurity Show takes place in the new Livestock Pavilion, south of the Wells Fargo Pavilion.
The Junior Ewe Lamb Futurity is open to all junior exhibitors. Each ewe entered must be registered or commercial finewool ewe lambs to be eligible to show. Judges are Leslie Harris from Orange Grove and Eddie Holland from Bluffton.
At 11 a.m., the poppers from the annual Championship Cook-Off teams are due before the judges outside the south end of the 1st Community Credit Union Spur Arena. Chicken entries are due at noon; pork spare ribs at 1 p.m. and brisket at 2 p.m.
The cook-off, sanctioned by the San Angelo Restaurant Association, benefits the scholarship program of the San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo Association Foundation.
Across the midway, the wool and mohair fleece show judging will start at 1 p.m. in the Auto Wrangler Sale Pavilion.
The fleece show is open to all Texas junior exhibitors and each exhibitor can enter four fleeces per class; however, the exhibitor will be eligible to receive only two money placings per class.
The Open Breeding Sheep Show in the new Livestock Pavilion will run from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. Featured classes will include Rambouillet, Delaine, Southdown, Columbia, White Dorper and Dorper breeds.
This has been one of the longest running shows of the events and provides breeders from across the state and nation an opportunity to showcase their breeding stock and compete for Champion Ewe and Champion Ram titles and bragging rights, said Brittni Kaczyk, SASSRA livestock director.
The Midway Mutton Bustin', sponsored by Sonora Bank, should provide spectators plenty of excitement from 4 -7 p.m. It is open to children who weigh less than 50 pounds.
Two rodeo performances are slated Saturday at Foster Communications Coliseum — a matinee at 1 p.m. and the seventh rodeo performance at 7:30 p.m.
Wells Fargo Pavilion Commercial Exhibits and Creative Arts Building and midway food vendors open at 11 a.m. and close at 11 p.m. Carnival hours are noon to 11 p.m.

Scoring Sliders at Rachael Ray's Burger Bash
Friday night at the New York City Wine & Food Festival saw the return of Rachael Ray's biannual Burger Bash. With 3,000 people in attendance, it was the biggest Burger Bash ever held in New York. "They worked their patties off to give you thousands of patties!" Rachael reminded the crowd.
No doubt Burger Bash was hard work all around, as partygoers sampled 28 different pieces of beef. We couldn't tackle 'em all, but did notice a wide range of beefy buns from perfectly cooked to poorly executed. See what worked (and what didn't).

Tastes horrible, but it works. My lips feel moisturized, and it lasts longer than other lip chaps that I have used in the past. I don't have to re-apply as much. I bought these for cheap ($0.99) because they were on sale.
Wow. This is some great stuff! I got this from Avon on sale for $.79 (regularly it's only a dollar) and I feel like I have new lips. I've been wearing it off and on during the day and put it on every night before I go to bed. Before my lips were chapped and painful, really just pretty neglected, and needed a good conditioner. After about a week of using this stuff regularly, my lips are smooth and perfect! I am beyond pleased.
There is a slight smell/taste, and some may consider the smell to be "old." To me it smells like a rose-scented/flavored lip balm I already have; the scent isn't necessarily unpleasant, and really isn't very strong. Didn't bother me at all.
I much prefer this product to the pricier Burt's Bees (I was a devotee). Burt's Bees is waxy and really just sits on your lips instead of sinking in and conditioning. It may be great for protection from the elements, if you were going on a ski trip or something, but if you really want a conditioner to moisturize and help bring your chapped lips back to health, then this is your product.
Would definitely repurchase; I'll likely buy a few tubes at a time from here on out to keep in different spots (bathroom, by the bed, purse, etc.) like other reviewers. Great product!
Goodness, I remember using this product when I was in high school, it's been around forever!
This is a very light yet moisturizing lip balm that moistures my lips rather than just coat them with a layer of wax like so many other lip balms. It leaves a very sheer pinkish tint and subtle shine. It has a very faint scent and no taste at all.
It's generally only $.99 but often on sale for $.69 - can't beat that price! I always have a tube at my desk, in my purse and next to my bed.
Edited to add - You know how horrible your lips can feel after you've had dental work done, especially with the numbing shots? I had this in my purse so today, before I went in to my appointment and many times after, I put it on. I'm positive it saved my lips!!
This is my HG lip balm. It gives me a dewy look as well as a pinkish (healthy) color. Can't beat the price, either. I try to stock up when it's on sale for 69 cents!!
I wish I could use this because it feels really good on my lips but every time I try, it breaks me out and makes my throat itchy :-(
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My friend has oral herpes (from birth, dont worry) and whenever his ex girlfriend would wear this lip balm, it would break him out when they were dating. Not sure if its directly related to an ingredient in the product, but there were never any problems while they were dating as far as him breaking out went when she didnt use it. Just saying. I tried it myself but quite liked it. Its smoothed out my lips, especially when they get flaky in the winter with those annoying "feathering" that even Blistex cant cure on cold days.
Finally, a lip balm that actually feels like it's moisturizing rather than just sitting on your lips. It feels light and gives your lips a nice velvety feel, but it does have a waxy smell and taste. I've got very full lips and these guys were on sale for 69 cents. So you know I bought in bulk! :]
I picked up two of these at a sale and they're very greasy - probably due to the castor oil and lanolin - yuk!!!! The taste is gross like children's lipstick. I will definitely be purchasing my fav lip balm "Un-Petroleum" in the orange flavor from this point on.
The texture is very much like another "buy direct" lip balm, however is much less expensive (we're talking $8 for the other one if you're a non-consultant.) This is a nice non-sticky balm good for right before bed or any other time you don't need SPF. I'm one of the few who likes the added subtle fragrance.

eucitizen, You have formulated the central problem of inflation as a process. Conventional economics tries to explain inflation as a flexible change of prices for all good and services in a given economy. In that sense, there is no constraint for the rate of inflation except so called "expectations". And your question then is why various prices in this system evolve at different rates? Also, why does the distribution of these rate is like it is; and can it be different? There is no simple answer to these questions in the conventional economics - a lot of models, which try to reproduce evolving price, but have to rely on empirical observations of inflation itself to fit the model. In other words, their models are filters between inflation observations and � inflation observations. I would like you to reverse the causality between prices and inflation. Let inflation to be driven by some external (exogenous) force or process, which is out of central bank's control. In this case, inflation can be defined as an excess of money, which is necessary to buy all goods and services, including those not existing now, in the next year relative to the amount of money needed in this year. Obviously, people can use the same amount of money to buy the increased amount of goods and services, with decreasing prices. Why does not this happen? The answer comes from observations, as usually comes in hard sciences. Personal income distribution, PID, in the USA is fixed in relative terms (http://inequalityusa.blogspot.com/2007/07/comparison-of-observed-and-pre... ), as the Current Population Surveys conducted by the US Census Bureau demonstrate. So, the structure of income distribution or income hierarchy stays unchanged. Therefore, the shares of the total (working age) population having given shares of total personal income are the same, as Gini coefficient calculated for the period between 1947 and 2006 proves. How is it related to inflation. Simple answer - increasing labor force would change these personal income distributions because these people move from low incomes to higher incomes, creating concentration of population in some income bins. The only way to retain the fixed PID is to stretch income scale. Effectively, it means to inject (through central banks) some money in the economy, which will be distributed between new workforce with the net effect of recovering the same income hierarchy. Now - empirical validation of this model. I have carried out an analysis for many developed countries. A summary is available at http://inflationusa.blogspot.com/2007/08/can-we-predict-inflation-and.html . It is shown for these countries that inflation is a linear (and potentially lagged) function of the change rate of labor force. Finally, inflation is not the process of aggregated change of independent prices. Inflation (as a predefined increment in personal incomes) is a very tight constraint on possible change of prices for all goods and services. The prices are changing randomly to the extent the cost of all goods and services is fixed. In this framework, you question about individual (not aggregated) inflation has no sense. Individual inflation is a net result of consumption of goods with (unpredictable) prices. But one can choose (to some extent) individual inflation. One can not change the aggregate inflation. Comment originally posted on August 8, 2007 3:32 PM
I HAVE been corresponding with an eminent economist about inflation. He brings wisdom to the table; I bring youth.
I observe that Americans born before 1970 tend to regard inflation as an economic ill, constantly threatening economic stability. Indeed, many older Americans regard rising prices as necessarily a bad thing.
Members of my cohort, who cannot remember the 1970s, on the other hand, have never experienced a period of tumultuous inflation. We take price stability more easily for granted. The most harmful price behaviour we have seen is deflation in Japan and hyperinflation in Latin America. It is a short jump from there to the view that rising prices are better than falling ones, and that hyperinflation occurs only in less developed markets
We can even redefine the problem as one not of inflation per se, but of its unpredictability. We expect central bankers to control inflation and inflationary expectations through clear inflation targeting. Price stability has become the objective of monetary policy, tempered by an acceptance of some positive inflation as the hallmark of a healthy economy.
But is such faith in central banks' ability to control inflation any more than the arrogance of youth? As my eminent interlocutor points out, back in the 1960s there was barely a concept of financial risk; people were complacent about exchange rates, oil prices and the like; a market for options was little more than a theoretical curiosity; and central banks thought long-term interest rates were under their direct control (consider the operation twist debacle).
In graduate school I learned one of the few certainties in macroeconomics: the wrong monetary policy at the wrong time is a bad thing. Maybe in the future I will think the same of inflation targeting and marvel at how far we have come.

text: When Jolla's first smartphone debuted with Sailfish OS, it didn't leave a great impression with some of our staff. The gesture-heavy UI was confusing to newcomers and offered few advantages over rival mobile platforms. Aside from just being different, of course. Since then, however, Jolla has been quietly improving Sailfish OS to ensure it makes a splash with its first tablet. That's right, we're talking about the slate that blasted through its $380,000 crowdfunding target on Indiegogo last November. We've been hands-on with a not-quite-final build at Mobile World Congress and the impact of "Sailfish OS 2.0" is immediate. The hardware is solid, but it's the simplified navigation that stands out the most.

Garland Independent School District in Texas has awarded a three-year digital video contract to Safari Montage. Under the agreement, the company will outfit Garland's 68 school sites with a full suite of Safari Montage products.
According to the announcement, Garland's WLAN model was built to provide a "complete enterprise video system" for educators and students throughout the district. In designing the system, the Garland technology group cited 5 critical elements:
"Garland ISD considered proposals from 10 solution providers with the hope of finding a single proposal for all the requirements of their comprehensive video strategy," said Stan Maige, Director of Technology, Garland ISD, in a prepared statement. "Safari Montage, in partnership with systems integrator Pathway Communications, produced the only proposal that met every single requirement of the Garland ISD comprehensive digital video strategy. In fact, it exceeded expectations."
The Safari solution will give Garland ISD access to content from a variety of providers, including Schlessinger Media, PBS, The History Channel, and National Geographic, among others. The platform is also expected to simplify the upload and management process for the district's own content.

Product Description
Primal Blueprint author Mark Sisson presents a fun, easy-to-follow, practical guidebook to help you get Primal in only 21 days. First, you'll learn eight Key Concepts that represent the most important day-to-day elements living Primally, then tackle five Action Items that will enable you to literally reprogram your genes toward a long, healthy, and energetic life. The Action Items are presented in a fun and life-transforming 21-Day Challenge, featuring daily diet, exercise, and lifestyle endeavors with corresponding journal exercises.
You'll transition out of the regimented, carb-dependent, fat-storing Standard American Diet (SAD), the chronic, overly-stressful exercise patterns recommended by Conventional Wisdom, and other health-compromising elements of hectic modern life. Instead, you'll smoothly implement the evolution-tested lifestyle behaviors of our hunter-gatherer ancestors to promote optimal gene expression.
By eating Primally, you'll transform from a carbohydrate-dependant sugar-burner into a fat burning beast as Sisson puts it, where the fat stored on your waist, hips, thighs and everywhere else becomes your body's preferred fuel source, and your energy, hormone, metabolic, and immune function are optimized automatically. With an intuitive mix of Primal workouts, you'll get exceptionally fit in only a few hours per week – and have fun while you're at it!
The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Transformation is stocked with photos, diagrams, concise section summaries, workout descriptions and pictures, resource lists for Primal-approved foods and foods to avoid, recipe suggestions, and detailed real-life success stories to help you stay confident and focused on your Primal journey. MarksDailyApple.com provides extensive support with thousands of articles on living Primally in the modern world.
Key Concepts
- You really can reprogram your genes by the way you eat, exercise and live from day-to-day.
- The clues to optimal gene expression are found in evolution: adapt the simple lifestyle behaviors of our (genetically identical) hunter-gatherer ancestors into hectic modern life.
- Your body prefers burning fat over carbohydrates: Eating Primally will return your body to its factory setting as a fat-burning beast
- 80 percent of your body composition success is determined by how you eat – particularly your ability to regulate the wildly excessive insulin production of the Standard American Diet.
- Grains are totally unnecessary: Grains (and legumes for that matter) offer minimal nutrition, a high insulin response, and contain anti-nutrients that promote inflammation and compromise digestion and immune function.
- Saturated fat and cholesterol are not your enemy: They are critical to cellular health, hormone function and metabolism, and only cause problems when insulin production is excessive.
- Exercise is ineffective for weight management: Energy burned during workouts is negated by increased appetite/caloric intake. A chronic exercise pattern results in burnout and compromised fat metabolism.
- Maximum fitness can be attained in minimal time with high-intensity workouts. Brief, intense strength and sprint workouts promote optimal gene expression and broad athletic competency. You can get super-fit in only a few hours per week!
Armed with the secrets to healthy living, you'll take decisive action over your 21-day journey to:
- Eliminate SAD foods that promote weight gain and chronic health problems.
- Go Primal: restock your kitchen and implement winning strategies for shopping, dining out, and snacking.
- Understand the spectrum of best to worst foods in each of the Primal food categories.
- Implement Primal Blueprint Fitness workouts, blending frequent slow-paced movement, regular brief, intense strength workouts, and occasional all-out sprints.
- Slow life down: enjoy the simple pleasures of slow food, intuitive exercise, focused work habits, relaxing evenings, and plenty of time for play, socializing, and sun exposure.
Unlike many complex, regimented, quick-fix programs, the Primal Blueprint 21-Day Transformation is a simple, sensibly-paced journey shaped by personal preference and a strong emphasis on enjoying comfortable modern life. The material is scalable for everyone, from Type-A fitness die-hards who might benefit from a more relaxed approach, to couch potatoes who need motivation to take that first step.
Mark Sisson guides you in a light-hearted, irreverent tone that will make you feel comfortable and inspired, and never intimidated. You can expect quick results in the first 21 days (fat loss, improved energy levels, fitness, and blood test markers), but your 21-Day Transformation is only the beginning of a life of ease and contentment that is possible when you live in harmony with your genetic expectations for health and longevity.
While health and fitness is my life, I understand that many people are just too busy, too stressed, or perhaps even too intimidated – to make major lifestyle changes. The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Transformation book makes getting Primal easy, simple and totally do-able – no matter what your starting point is right now.

After seven years of nagging diet-related illness, I felt completely recovered within one week of eating Primally – one week! I've experienced a breakthrough in energy and vitality that feels better than winning the lottery.

With my insulin and blood glucose under control, I can go a whole day without food and still feel energized. I'm freaking happy all the time, and losing weight without really trying!

Secrets of Success
Wilt Thou Be Made Whole?
View GNUATTITUDE's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from GNUATTITUDE
Friday, April 10, 2009
I recently heard a powerful message on the story of the man healed at the pool at Bethesda from the 5th chapter of the book of John. The story is set near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem, where there was a pool of healing. A large number of people with various illness would lie there, waiting for an angel to come and stir the waters. The belief was that the first person who made it into the moving waters would be healed of his or her ailment.
The story continues to tell of how Jesus passed by a man who was lying by the pool and asked him, �Wilt thou be made whole?� or �Do you want to get well?� On the surface of it, this seems like an odd question with an obvious answer.
But instead of simply saying, �Yes, I want to be well, � the paralytic gave an excuse, saying he�d been waiting for 38 years, complaining that he had nobody to put him in the pool and someone else always got into the water before he did. Jesus simply told the man to get up, pick up his mat, and walk.
I find many parts of this story interesting and applicable to the struggle many of us face in our journey to a healthier life. First, I find it interesting that Jesus did not waste time sympathizing with the paralytic�s plight. He didn�t even acknowledge that the man�s problem involved anyone but himself. He not only refused to play the �blame game�, he didn�t even acknowledge it.
How often do we try to play the �Pity me, I�m all alone in this impossible struggle� game? Not only won�t that kind of self-pity solve the problem, it isn�t even a valid argument. My problem is MY problem, and my challenges are MY challenges. The first step in solving my problems and facing my challenges is to claim them and acknowledge my part in having created them in the first place. The life I have now is the result of the choices I�ve made, and if I want something different, it will require me to make different choices.
I also think it�s interesting that Jesus didn�t ask the man how long he�d been waiting. I�m pretty certain the man had heard that question many times and had come to expect it. But Jesus didn�t have to ask; He knew the answer. But it didn�t really matter how long the man had been there. The only thing Jesus was concerned with was, �Wilt thou be made whole?�
How often have I chosen to remain paralyzed? And how often have I given up the struggle just before a breakthrough? How often have I continued to operate in old patterns, not because they were effective but because they were familiar? How often have I trusted in the wrong people and things, ignoring the necessary process to receive the promise? How often have I relied on my senses and emotions and neglected to walk by faith?
It doesn�t really matter how long I�ve struggled with a problem or how many times I didn�t quite make it �into the pool�. The only thing that matters is if I really want to be well, and if I act upon what God tells me to do. He will provide the resources I need and the right people to teach me. The lesson will be learned when I am ready to learn it. He might even send an angel to stir the waters, but I don�t need to get into them. In fact, I prefer to simply pick up my mat and walk.
God has not forgotten me in my struggles. He has been with me all along, even when I haven�t recognized or acknowledged His presence. And He has been preparing me all along to step into His place of purpose for me. God�s delays are not denials. He has me in just the right place at this particular moment in time to receive His healing and His blessing.
Yes, I will be made whole!

Oh, my yes, GnuAttitude. You do , indeed, have a new attitude, and it's the right one. You're so right. God isn't interested in our excuses. The question is very simple, "Wilt thou be made whole?"
This will be a powerful reminder to me to cut to the chase, and answer the question. Excuses will only slow down my blessing!!!!
Yes, Lord. I will be made whole. Thank You, Jesus.

Sometimes God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers. There'd be many a maimed 38-40 year old men walking around here if God had answered the prayers of a Pentecostal Teenager in the late 1980's.
Faith is the key. Faith is what? The evidence of things hoped for but not seen.
A 'leap of faith' is taking a chance when you don't know for certain what will happen, but believe the best will.
Thanks for sharing Gnu.

I love that story. When I was 38 it really hit me hard. It was as if something inside me said "Never again say I have no man". God himself will make sure that we are made whole like you said. The way and how is up to him.
I agree - I want to be made whole!

You have a wonderful way with words. Wow. And so true, it's easy to play the blame game but to take responsibility and then action isn't.

"Schom's one-volume life of Napoleon includes all facets of Napoleon's incredible career, from his childhood in Corsica to his death in exile on the island of St. Helena. It follows his many military campaigns and describes the great battles he won and lost from northern Italy to Egypt, Spain, Prussia, Austria, Poland, and Russia, to his final defeat at Waterloo. It illuminates his extensive political and structural reorganization of the French government; explores his relationships with his wives - the legendary Josephine and her replacement, Marie-Louise - and some of his mistresses; and chronicles his feuds with his tempestuous family and both loyal and mutinous officials. Key aides, ministers, generals, and naval commanders - from Talleyrand and Police Minister Fouche to Marshals Ney, Davout, and Lannes, Admiral Villeneuve, and many more - are fully portrayed and given their due. International rivalries and diplomatic negotiations are also thoroughly covered, and Napoleon's many opponents and enemies - including Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia, Emperor Franz I of Austria, Czar Alexander I of Russia, and Field Marshals Kutuzov, Blucher, and the Duke of Wellington - are brought vividly to life." "There are intriguing fresh insights here, too; among them an examination of Napoleon's little-known friendship with a leading mathematician and savant, and of the cause of his death on St. Helena. Unique in Napoleonic literature, even that by French authors, is Schom's candor about Napoleon's character flaws. Nor does he gloss over the awful misery and destruction that Napoleon's endless, often needless wars of conquest wreaked on the peoples of Europe, his indifference to the medical needs of his own soldiers, or the surprisingly frequent examples of his poor planning and intelligence gathering."--Jacket.

Does anyone at all know how to get rid of that awful snow dock for the stock launcher? I would looooove that DX2
Get rid of the stock launcher. You'll be impressed by how much smoother screen transitions are. LauncherPro, ADW Launcher, GoLauncher, etc. Try them out. You can even keep the app drawer with the market link in it. Just make a shortcut to an App Group and you got it. Good luck.
