Maybe you've heard the adage "a calorie is a calorie." It's been ingrained in many of us. So, the thinking goes, it doesn't matter whether you cut calories in the form of liquids or solid foods. Either way you should lose weight.
A new study, however, seems to challenge these assumptions. The study, which appears in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition," looked at beverage and food intake and weight changes in more than 800 men and women, aged 25 to 79.
The "liquid calories" researchers looked at were sugar-sweetened beverages, such as soft drinks, fruit drinks and punch; whole, 2%, 1% and skim milk; 100% fruit and vegetable juices; coffee and tea with sugar; coffee and tea with artificial sweetener; diet drinks, and alcoholic beverages.
Here's what the study found:
The results are surprising and more research is needed to understand why cutting liquid calories, especially sugar-sweetened beverages, results in greater weight loss.
The authors suggest that one explanation may be the high fructose content in sugar-sweetened beverages. Consuming large amounts of fructose over time may promote fat storage and other changes. Although milk, juice, sugar-sweetened coffee/tea and alcohol contain calories — and some contain some natural fructose — their effects on fullness may mediate the effect on weight loss.
My take: It's difficult to ignore the finding that cutting liquid calories in the form of sugar-sweetened beverages results in more weight loss than cutting solid calories. Sugary drinks are not high on my "most nutritious" list, so cutting them to lose weight makes sense to me.
What's your take? Your thoughts are welcome!

Thank you so much so these helpful articles.
, stick with cardio/endurance stuff for now as it works betetr than just trying to diet alone. Sports are really good for that sort of thing too and for most people is also fun to do. Since summer is coming up, there will be baseball or softball to play.EDIT: Another thing to think about is don't fret if you don't drop weight quickly. It takes a while to start if you are on a healthy routine. Loosing weight too quickly (even if it is down to a healthy weight ) can cause a lot of problems. Nutritionists and doctors say it isn't healthy to loose more than 2 or 3 pounds in a week.
Liquid calories go down so quickly and effortlessly compared to solid calories. Consider 1/2 cup of apple juice vs. 1 med apple. Same amount of calories (approx), but the apple juice is gone lickety split, while the whole apple takes longer to eat and the fiber fills you up a bit.
Excellent blog and great ideas,
Theres so many different diets nowadays, and nobody knows which one to go for, but really by just trying to burn calories in general is what you need to be trying to do. all the little things help like taking the dog for a walk, going for a run though the park, and not having 2nd helpings at dinner all add up!
Hahahaha this is ridiculous, I dont mean to be offensive to people but c'mon 15 pound lost over the span of a YEAR, or like 5 pounds in about two months all from cutting down on sugary beverages. I'm 16 and im smart enough to tell you that if you work out YOU CAN STAY IN SHAPE AND EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT!!! I dont want to hear excuses like "i cant find the time" or something bogus like that. If you have 10 minutes in your day dont go watch tv go run a mile, do this every day, youll see yourself go to 15 pounds a month, if your like me and run about 4 miles a day and then do conditioning every day you'll start to see results, plain and simple if you wanna lose weight, look good, and attract members of the opposite sex GET RUNNING, put on some heavy sweats and run a few times a day.EVERYONE HAS 10 OR 15 MINUTES FREE TIME IN THERE DAY
Two or three generations ago, people used to have unsweetened tea with their meals. Soda pop or cola was only an occasional treat reserved for special occasions. Over the years, sugar-laden sodas have replaced the good antioxidant-rich and calorie-free tea. The bottles of pop have also greatly increased in size …and so have we. Doing away with the sodas and re-acquiring the habit of drinking something like unsweetened tea may go a long way in helping us lose or maintain weight.
it really works. its been 5 weeks since i cut all liquid calories except water and 1%milk, i went from being 132lbs to 127lbs.
p.s. I walk atleast 3 times a week. but I didn't drop a pound until I cut those liquid calories.
What about the calories needed to break down the solid food compared to the breakdown of liquid, based on amount of time?
I wonder if the higher weight loss results from a more quantitative calorie deficit. Cutting calories from food can be difficult because sometimes we don't accurately estimate our intake. Therefore when we think we are taking in a certain number of calories, it could inadvertantly be significantly higher than that, thwarting weight loss efforts. On the other hand, reducing calorie dense liquids can be more quantifiable (for example, cutting back from 4 sodas a day to 2), making it easier to accurately decrease caloric intake. An interesting article though, I look forward to hearing more!
Jen, Thanks for your comments. Being a Texan, I drank sweet tea ALL my life! (It's the "drink of choice down here in the south ya'll know. LOL) Anyway, I don't remember when I stopped drinking it altogether -- possibly when the last of my children left home. (I never let them have sodas unless we ate out, and that was rare.) I love Luzianne brand tea! But again, here we go with the sugar. My mother, a type II diabetic, uses splenda and swears she can't tell the difference between it and sugar. We used to use sweet-n-low if we ate out and you had to sweeten your tea at the table. (I hate sweetening my tea with sugar by the glass.) I may go back to "tea-totaling" as they say. We use our coffee maker & tea bags to prepare it by the pitcher. (Or make sun tea - let "solar power" do the "brewing".) I have NEVER heard that caffiene is hard on bones! I know that my Dr Pepper sipping has caused much dental problems but I assumed that was from the sugar & probably is. I have rhuematoid arthritis (among many other health problems) and have taken more prednisone than I would like. It too weakens the bones, so I'm batting a thousand here I guess. I'm sorry to hear of your month stay in the hospital! That must have been serious, not to mention uncomfortable, nerve racking, and all that other which comes with being hospitalized. I hope you are "in the clear" from whatever you had to endure with the long stay in the hospital! Be Well!
--K, I have heard (on numerous talk shows with health segments and I also read from an alternative medical site) that children should absolutely NOT drink diet sodas, etc because of the sugar substitute, "aspertaine" (not sure the spelling is correct but I spelled it like it sounds). Apparently it is a real health hazzard for children, not so much for adults but still not good for us. Hope my input helps.
Slightly off topic, but what are the recommendations for children regarding sugar substitutes? The research indicates safety for adults, is this the same for children?
I always knew that sugary drinks contained calories, but as I hate drinking plain water EVERY DAY...I tried looking for other options to water that were healthy. I don't drink pop, but I do love kool-aid and fruit juice type drinks. Can anyone advise me on what would be the best to drink, based on which would be healthier with fewer calories, etc.
Diets and diet aids do not help anyone. The only way to successfully lose weight and get the body that you want is by using the right information. This information can be found in the book Lose Weight Using Four Easy Steps which can be ordered through the website www.bbotw.com Everyone who has gotten a copy of this book is now healthier.
calories taken by liquid are not recognised by the body because salivary glands are not activated in the same way as when you are consuming solid food. Therefore, the digestive system doesn't behave in the same way i.e. in terms of breaking down food and burning up calories. The liquid calories go 'unnoticed' and are more likely to be stored and converted to fat than the calories from solids thereby making it easier to lose weight when you give up high calories liquid drinks.
Thank you for that post, it was very informative to me. It helped me understand more the difference bertween the solids and liquids.

I too was a soda fan, and had been drinking diet pop since I was a teenager. I like Dr. Pepper too. An orthopedist told me to stop drinking caffeine, because caffiene is hard on bones, so I switched to diet caffenine free sodas. Unfortunately, Dr. Pepper does not make the caffeine free version. I mostly drank diet caffeine free soda, but drank diet Dr. Pepper occasionally.
A month stay in the hospital ended that. My friend brought iced tea from Starbuck (Tazo) and after drinking that, sodas tasted almost too strong.
Switch to tea, whatever brand you prefer (Tazo, Liptom, store brand etc.), and whatever tea you prefer (green, black or some other tea,) use artificial sweeteners (I use Splenda,) and maybe that will reduce your craving for soda.
I make my own iced tea, far less expensive than sodas, or buying at a coffee/tea shop.
Best wishes with your efforts!
I have been drinking the Lo Cal Vitamin Waters that are sweetened with cane sugar as opposed to high frutose corn syrup... what are your opinions of these
type of supplement drinks?
For me, just halting consumption of soft drinks led to a 15 pound weight loss over a year! I found that I drank more water, and more quickly; perhaps that reduced hunger at mealtimes.
I'm embarrassed to say, I totally agree with the liquid vs solid intake where weight loss is concerned. Why am I embarrassed? Because I am a Dr. Pepper addict -- the real thing too, no diet drinks for this overweight gal. I'm 50 years old and I carry all my excess weight in my "tummy" so I look about 8 months pregnant! This is no exaggeration! Two summers ago I took an extended stay at our lake home. I worked out in the heat and drank LOTS of water but very little Dr. Pepper. I lost enough weight to tuck my shirt into my jeans and even wear a belt! (I'm sure all the hard, outdoors work attributed to some of the weight loss as well.) But I've been told by more than one relative that when they quit drinking soft drinks / sodas, they also lost weight. I just can't seem to kick the habit. I love my Dr. Pepper and chewing the crushed ice which I (heavily) put into each glass. This goes on from morning to night and sometimes "during" the night!!!
(I'm more of a sipper than a drinker -- very bad for the teeth!) Maybe I just need another "extended stay at the lake house"! Any suggestions?
There has been some research recently suggesting that high fructose corn syrup sweeteners are more likely to be implicated than "sugar" (cane sugar, beet sugar, etc.) in weight problems. (Of course, we are now seeing corn syrup industry pushes to say 'sugar is sugar,' which isn't surprising given the size of the industry and the public's newfound skepticism of HFCS.) It would help if your discussion indicated what "sugared drinks" were sweetened with, exactly. Thanks.

Welcome to the Southern Refugee Legal Aid Network (SRLAN).
The SRLAN was initiated to formalise cooperation towards refugee rights, with a view to channelling disparate refugee rights organisations into a movement. At the time of inception, the SRLAN concluded the Nairobi Code of Ethics to which all members of the Network agreed to abide.
The particular challenges that refugees face as regards access to judicial recourse in the global south have demanded an increase in rights-based advocacy, through pro bono legal aid, research, and policy advocacy. The SRLAN member organisations are bound by a common desire to foster respect for the rights of refugees in the global south, whilst not all necessarily being based there. The SRLAN provides a platform for these organisations to learn from one another's experiences, and coordinate advocacy and legal challenges with the support and expertise of a network of practitioners.
The SRLAN is hosted by the IRRI Rights in Exile Programme.

You are right AMD has been doing allot for Linux the last few years. Another of my pet peeves!!! RPM is not a bad package management system! Yes 8 years ago there was an issue that was fixed. Heck i hear new Linux people say they won't touch a RPM distro with a ten foot pole because of dependency hell?????? Who keeps saying this FUD?
Quite frankly, I'd MUCH rather deal with issues through UNDERSTANDING the cause and solving it with logical analysis, rather than handing remote access over to a retarded teenager on acid working for the ghost of steve jobs.
I had a radeon 9600 all in wonder... this was about 10 years ago... ATI driver sucked, I still remember that missing GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap .
Now I have a radeon hd 5670 HD... ATI driver sucks:
tearing while using vlc or seeing flash videos (this is a shame, we're in 2012 and we can't see a video on a 2,3 ghz dual core cpu!!!!!)
no bsd support
too much lag with vsync enabled
pains when new kernels come out
doesn't it suck enough?
except for performances the open source driver is a lot better
Even Catalyst 12.4 may be patched to support Linux 3.5.
Maybe they'll adopt piglit as an official test someday.

Chop-Monster is a sequential jazz improvisation method by acclaimed jazz pianist and educator Shelly Berg that utilizes a "call-and-response" approach: students listen to a jazz idea, imitate it until it is internalized, and then "try it on their own." In Chop-Monster 1, students will hear and improvise to the Ima7, iimi7, and V7 chords in the key of B-flat, plus a basic blues progression. In Chop-Monster 2 students will hear and improvise to the ii-V-I progression in three keys (concert B-flat, E-flat, F).

NASHVILLE, TN — Thanks to a joint effort between Vanderbilt University and The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by America's leading distillers and dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, students got a life-saving lesson about the dangers of underage drinking and driving tonight at the Sarratt Student Center. Brandon Silveria, a young man who was involved in an alcohol-related crash at age 17 just before his high school prom. Brandon now travels the country to show the lasting impact of one bad decision.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 84 youths under the age of 21 died in alcohol-related traffic fatalities in Tennessee 2002, a decrease of over 1% from 2001.
During the program, Silveria told students his wrenching story of how as a high school student he had everything a teenager could want—a job, girlfriend and plans for the future—until he had a few drinks at a party and chose to drive home. After falling asleep at the wheel, crossing the centerline and crashing into a tree, Brandon was left in a coma for three months and spent several years in rehabilitation. Silveria was so badly injured that basic motor functions such as walking, talking and swallowing had to be re-learned. He has permanent brain injury and suffers from dangerous seizures. Brandon's presentations continue to receive standing ovations from students across the country.
"What you become depends on the choices that you make," said Brandon Silveria. "When I was seventeen, I had a job and a girlfriend. Because of my crash, I lost both of them. My hope is that by sharing my experiences with other young people, I can prevent others from being hurt or killed."
Through educational efforts such as the Silveria lecture and video program, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility educates students across the country about the hazards of underage drinking and driving. Since Brandon and his father Tony have become spokespeople for The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, they have addressed over one million high school students nationwide and have been featured on such television programs as "Rescue 911," NBC's "Today," and "Leeza."
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to share The Foundation's efforts to combat drunk driving and underage drinking in Tennessee," said Ralph Blackman, President and CEO of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "During our visit, we hope to raise awareness about this serious problem, and by doing so, save lives in Tennessee."
To request a free copy of "Brandon Tells His Story" or for more information on the Silveria program call (800) 431-4499. The 30-minute video, which won an award from the American Medical Association, is accompanied by supporting curriculum materials and can be used with large or small groups of teens.

Talk about a sticky situation.
An unknown number of thieves made off with an estimated 5 tons of Nutella from a parked trailer in central Germany over the weekend, The Associated Press reported.
The big haul of gooey chocolate-hazelnut spread is worth an estimated $20,000.
Police aren't sure how many culprits they are looking for, but believe they are the same thieves who stole a truckload of Red Bull from the same location a few weeks ago, German news agency dpa reported.
About $40,000 worth of coffee was taken two weeks ago, in what could be one very odd breakfast spread.

Obama to N.H. voters: 'You were the change'
Friday, September 7, 2012
PORTSMOUTH — Hoping to carry forward the momentum of his appearance last night at the Democratic National Convention, President Barack Obama brought a message of middle class prosperity to voters in Portsmouth Friday.
A row of metal bleachers capable of accommodating hundreds was assembled on one side of the rectangular field. Stage lights were directed toward a stage in front of the Lowd House, a yellow Federal Period building dating to the early 1800s, which served as the backdrop for the president's speech.
"It's amazing," museum spokeswoman Stephanie Seacord said Friday morning. "The team has set all this up in a week. It's like Santa Claus — overnight, transforming the site." Friday's event marks Obama's fourth trip to New Hampshire of the year, and his third campaign appearance in this pocket of the state since June. Obama has also held campaign events at Oyster River Middle School in Durham in June and in Rochester and Windham on Aug. 18.
Although New Hampshire will only deliver four electoral votes during November's general election, both campaigns have placed value in campaigning in New Hampshire, which is viewed as one of a handful of places where both candidates are still in competition.
Hoping to provide a parallel to Obama's remarks in New Hampshire, Romney is also scheduled to speak in the state Friday. He will speak at an event in Nashua Friday evening, according to the Romney campaign.

ye I know hitting children is what big boys from amd+intels do because they can not fight against a real enemy.
Don't forget that Loongson's purpose is not winning benchmarks (or fighting corporatism, for that matter). Its goal is achieving independence from foreign CPU imports.
ye I know hitting children is what big boys from amd+intels do because they can not fight against a real enemy.
Putting gpu stuff aside, Maybe the entire stable release of MIPS is available but we all know how ancient that is, in Linux years anyway. I'm sure a lot of Sid or wheezy is available for MIPS but I'm sure it breaks more often than x86 or ARM. But, just because all, or most of Debian is available, it doesn't mean that has everything you need. There are plenty of packages that Debian doesn't offer on any platform, and not all of them are MIPS compatible.
In the open source world, just about anything can be ported but it doesn't mean someone has.
And your point was you can not run a windows to to get your freedom to choose ?
Do you need "Speed" for freedom of speech ?
Anyway yes loongson 3A is slow and loongson 3B-65nm was also slow even with 8cores but the found the broken bottle neck. the 32nm Loongson 3B do have a extra of 8mb L3 cache and more clock speed.
So why not just wait until the hardware is faster? The loongson is under development.
the 32nm 3B 8core loongson is the first with a real commercial impact.
But yes even that cpu will be slow. you maybe get the speed of a modern 4-5ghz x86 dualcore..
The (USA) CPUs do have active-DRM-TCPA to force the users into their laws WORLDWIDE.
But naive people like you think the "EVIL" chinese government do this.. LOOOOOOL.
Yes maybe thats the plan but in fact the USA do the same.
But maybe the only point is you like the US law more than the Chinese law?
I life in a official occupation zone "UNO official:enemy state" of the USA "Germany" and I trust the Chinese people more than my own or the US people.
Trust is something you can't get with a Police Raid at your home and I get a police raid an my home this year because I bought "Bus-Tickets" in the internet (no joke they break my constitutional right of a government free secure home because I bought Bus-Tickets from the Internet for 70).
The prosecutor has closed the proceedings without any effect on me. but hell a police raid with 5-6 Police officers because 70 ? and they needed 3-4 hours for me this means this "Raid" caused cost of more than ~ 1000-2000 for nothing. to take away some bus tickets from me i bought in *faithful and believe* (really no joke i can scan the official Police-documents from the Raid).
So in fact our Law and Order countrys are a full joke.
"freedom of speech" is also against the law in germany you get 5 years of jail for babbling in germany (no this is not a joke there are 1000 of people in germany in jail because of babblin the wrong stuff).
and you talk about china LOL--
Seriously, there was, is and will be informational warfire, but its between security agencies only. And both of them basically do the same thing.
If you would read up on how chinese firewall and all those media clone sites work, you will realise that in many places china versions offer much more freedom; there are only several things protected and they are all about politics.
Also, the whole hardware is way more open than intel, amd, nvidia or anything else. Its very welcomed development so long it stays open.

your name should be righteousness lover, since you seem to blatantly ignore what I'm saying and start spewing things I either made no reference to or are unrelated.
First of all, those instruction sets you mentioned aren't focused on virtualization, so it won't make it run faster. Besides, most of those are stuff the P4 had - there's a lot that MIPS is missing. I didn't say anything about freedom and/with windows. what I was saying is the Chinese government likes to censor things and (x86) windows offers a lot of choices of commercial software that they might not approve of. with android and windows RT, ARM will eventually be in the same category.
MIPS isn't fast for everyday desktop use because it wasn't supposed to be used that way, it just has the option. waiting for MIPS to prove it would be like waiting for motorcycles to tow small trailers. Sure it could be done but why not just get a vehicle that was supposed to do it from the beginning?
Also, I never said ANYTHING about a DRM. Once again, you're putting words in my mouth. What I was trying to say, which should have been obvious, was that MIPS being a relatively ignored platform for desktop use just simply doesn't have as much hardware or software attention as x86, PPC, or ARM. That being said, not everything will work on it, at least not without some effort.
I also said NOTHING about the Chinese government being evil. You accuse me of being naive but you're just simply being arrogant and ignorant. The Chinese have censorship laws. they don't allow all websites to be seen, they don't allow all software to come in either. That's not evil, but I wouldn't say they're guardian angels either.
As for your other post, I didn't say MIPS couldn't HANDLE OpenGL, I was asking if there were currently any platforms with an OpenGL compatible GPU. From what I know, most MIPS platforms are headless.
Please read before you start ranting, because you're pointlessly fighting me for things I'm not even saying or would ever say.
I know china's censorship isn't that bad, but it's considerably worse than most other places in the world. Bad enough to the point that they tried hacking google to change search results and ended up making their own search engine to replace google within their own country. and obviously there are parts of china that don't have restrictions. First of all, the country is huge. it's pretty hard to moderate over 2 billion people. Secondly, china doesn't even like to admit some people in the country are actual residents, I'm sure these people, if they can afford Internet access, are not using the main land's ISPs. Thirdly, Chinese people who can afford an ISP by themselves tend to be very intelligent people and can probably bypass firewalls.
As for open hardware platforms, I didn't say MIPS wasn't, I just said it doesn't have a big market in desktop or mobile PCs.

Speaking at a TEDx conference a few years ago in Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University professor Vivian Loftness, FAIA, remarked, "Climate change is real, and it can be disasterous. But, the alternatives can be spectacular." As we continue to creep toward potentially perilous environmental tipping points, this statement not only holds true but it also highlights the tremendous potential for innovation in the building and construction industry.
With this in mind, for the third year Hanley Wood is exploring the building, design, and construction industry's progress toward critical sustainability goals under the Vision 2020 initiative, which is a team-driven program that identifies and explores challenges to sustainability between now and the year 2020. For the past two years, we have engaged an annual panel of 10 of the industry's foremost high-performance building experts—Loftness included—in key sectors of sustainable design to share research, highlight innovations, discuss critical challenges, and map an essential path toward a sustainable future.
We are extremely honored to introduce the newest panel of thought leaders and experts, under banner of the Hanley Wood Sustainability Council, who will guide us in 2014.

|Safety of Benzathine Penicillin for Preventing Congenital Syphilis
|Wednesday, 13 March 2013 15:05
Tais F. Galvao, Marcus T. Silva, Suzanne J. Serruya, Lori M. Newman, Jeffrey D. Klausner,
Objective: To estimate the risk of serious adverse reactions to benzathine penicillin in pregnant women for preventing congenital syphilis.
Methods: We searched for clinical trials or cohorts that assessed the incidence of serious adverse reactions to benzathine penicillin in pregnant women and the general population (indirect evidence). MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus and other databases were searched up to December 2012. The GRADE approach was used to assess quality of evidence. Absolute risks of each study were calculated along with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). We employed the DerSimonian and Laird random effects model in the meta-analyses.
Results: From 2,765 retrieved studies we included 13, representing 3,466,780 patients. The studies that included pregnant women were conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of benzathine penicillin: no serious adverse reactions were reported among the 1,244 pregnant women included. In the general population, among 2,028,982 patients treated, 4 died from an adverse reaction. The pooled risk of death was virtually zero. Fifty-four cases of anaphylaxis were reported (pooled absolute risk = 0.002%; 95% CI: 0%–0.003% I2 = 12%). From that estimate, penicillin treatment would be expected to result in an incidence of 0 to 3 cases of anaphylaxis per 100,000 treated. Any adverse reactions were reported in 6,377 patients among 3,465,322 treated with penicillin (pooled absolute risk = 0.169%; 95% CI: 0.073%–0.265% I2 = 97%). The quality of evidence was very low.

"I don't have a hobby. This is my hobby!" said Paula Hamabata, Employee of the Month for July, when asked what she does during her free time. On some weekends, she can be seen in her office negotiating contracts for medical supplies and other hospital needs.
"I have to make sure everything gets done and supplies are purchased on time or else the physicians and patients would have nothing to use," Paula said.
"She is just an amazing employee. Her loyalty and dedication to her job is outstanding. She always does what she is supposed to do with no whining, no complaining," said Lori Gunther, Assistant Patient Care Coordinator in the Surgery department, who works closely with Paula for inventory and supply needs.
Paula's role as a buyer in the Purchasing department (for Surgical Services) is critical to the Surgery department, Lori said. "The Operating Room is all about inventory. If we don't have supply, we might not be able to do surgery."
Paula is a good communicator, transparent and does her job with a smile, her nominator said. "(She is) always responsive with answers to questions and trying to come up with ways to improve things. (She) always brings up concerns… looking out for the best interest of Kuakini."
Paula also maintains supply inventory levels for Anesthesia, the Sterile Processing Department (SPD), and the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU).
Paula's recognition as Employee of the Month came as a surprise to her; she was also surprised to see the large group that attended her award recognition ceremony.
"I thought it was going to be a small crowd. I'm a little overwhelmed," she said. "I have no idea (how I got this award) because everyone works hard, we all work together as a unit. Our department is very cohesive."
Paula joined Kuakini in 1976 as a ward clerk in the Nursing department. In 1981, she moved to the Purchasing department first as an Assistant Senior Stores Clerk, then as a Medical Supply Specialist, later on becoming a Supply Room Supervisor and a Buyer. In her current position as a Surgical Services Buyer, which she has held since 2004, she said there are constant challenges and "never a dull moment."
"Kuakini has given me the opportunity to grow and expand… The people that work here – they are exceptional. They know their job well and they are willing to support me."
If she is not working at Kuakini, Paula's other free time is spent shopping and reading.

Champs, Scene #03
Champs, Scene #03
Gym Dudes
- 9/10
Alex Andrews has no shame when it comes to cruising the locker room. When Aiden Connors' tight little ass catches his eye he orders the young stud to get on all fours and probes his hole with his tongue. The public ass-eating makes Aiden's hard cock pop out of his jockstrap and demand Alex's attention. After sucking his buddy's dick Alex stands up and whips out his huge uncut monster and forces it down Aiden's hungry throat. The cock-hungry kid swallows Alex's giant meat then rolls over to take it up his ass. Alex fucks his teammate hard until both blow winning loads.

|Ali's Cookies
Ali's cookies, named for co-owner Alison Glusman Rosengarten, happen to be absolutely, positively, some of the most delicious cookies that KosherEye has ever, ever tasted. Ali's cookies are all natural, preservative free, and baked fresh daily. The emphasis is on the product, not the packaging… (although we like the packaging as well!). Each gourmet cookie weighs over 2.5 ounces and is at least 3 inches in diameter. An assortment of these cookies will be welcomed and devoured by any cookie loving recipient. We especially like them for hospital, get well, hostess, thank you, and "thinking of you" gifts.

It's not really the tax-exempt status of non-profits that needs reform. After all, a for-profit corporation that doesn't make a profit also pays no taxes. Non-profit tax is an oxymoron, at least in the US where all wages are tax exempt. It's the tax deduction for donors that sets non-profits apart from for-profits. For that privilege, non-profits are prohibited from using their revenue in politics. What an odd arrangement. Capping charitable deductions is on the table in the fiscal cliff negotiations. I'd much rather they abolish it completely and let non-profits speak freely about politics. Yeah, I know, not gonna happen.
Another point about taxes in general. This is yet another illustration of the complexity of our tax code. Bad policy can create complexity but complexity can also breed bad policy. We should advocate tax simplification if only to make bad tax policy easier for voters to spot.
Finally, Ross Douthat opined a while back that religious leader who bring politics into religion should be careful what they wish for. When religion becomes aligned with political parties or ideologies, religion will suffer. The Economist has argued, and I agree, that the traditional American truce between church and state has served both well. American churches may be more vibrant compared to European churches because of and not despite the separation.

Just for those who care: The soundtrack's out. Physical releases and iTunes has the download version. Oddly, it's not on Amazon UK.
I bought the iTunes version, and it's OK.
June 29th, 2011, 09:20 AM #859
I don't think I'll be buying that. Over 10 episodes I thought there were maybe 3 minutes of memorable music (and that includes the opening theme). To be a little more detailed about it: I thought the music was pretty unremarkable throughout with nothing really thematic, just rehashes of the title theme in different orchestrations or stock tension or battle or tender music filling in when needed. It's certainly nothing I'd be willing to spend money on.
June 29th, 2011, 09:55 AM #860
I agree, Erf. Not listened to it fully yet, but I doubt it'll be any use beyond good background music and the theme song.
June 29th, 2011, 01:18 PM #861
Disagree. I got the soundtrack, and I really like it! Obviously it's nowhere near the level of something like LOTR, but it's got lots of good tracks. It also goes well in the background while re-reading the books.
June 30th, 2011, 10:18 PM #862
I have to agree with Erfael. I listened to some of the OST and I have to say most of it is terribly generic.
July 7th, 2011, 07:22 PM #863
I've just stumbled onto this on YouTube - theme tune on violin(s). I think it's quite superb.
Sadly, as others have said above, I can't remember one bit of the show's music beyond that epic theme music. Oh well, they had to get SOMETHING wrong, I suppose.

OK, going RIGHT back to the start - having finally had the time to watch my new s1 DVDs over the weekend, I was reminded of the weird pattern the bodies of the slaughtered wildlings were put into in the opening sequence. Did anyone ever figure that out, or has anyone heard any convincing theories? Watching the whole season over a couple of days did lead me to leap to one conclusion - the aerial shot of Drogo's pyre showed the fire making a pattern which reminded me of the one beyond the Wall, and I thought I was onto something, but when I looked at it again I was less than convinced. Anyone else got any ideas about what the Others were doing?
