Cliq Studios
I am writing a review of my recent experience with Cliq Studios. I just wanted to warn people to do their homework before buying kitchen cabinets online. If I had to do it all over again, I would have ordered them from Lowe's or Home Depot. I think the prices are comparable and I would have paid to have them installed. I know they would stand behind their products and any issues would be dealt with locally instead of having to be shipped.
We installed the cabinets ourselves & have had issue after issue. We are not new to home improvements, have been doing them for 23 years but this has been a thorn in our side. First off..don't be fooled by their website. It is very nice and their reviews are very good on their website but I somehow doubt that they post any negative reviews they may have received. I ordered the white Dayton cabinets. Here are some things to consider. The finish on these cabinets are something between flat and eggshell. I have tested on sample piece after I purchased them and started having issues ( I wish I had tested them before I purchased) I have noticed that mustard will definitely soak into the cabinets & permanently stain as well as oily things. They are not so easy to clean. Do not use magic erasers as they will scratch the surface. If you do decide to use Cliq Studios, communicate via email on major decisions you make. I didn't think anything of phone conversations and decisions that were made over the phone. When you make decisions on the phone with your designer, then there is no documentation. If you try to tell them that you said you wanted something, they will just tell you that you signed off on the order and should have reviewed your order sheet more carefully. Not very good stall instructions on fillers and crown molding. We ended up having to modify and create our own molding because what they sent looked horrible. I lost out on $400. They charge a 25% restocking fee and you have to pay for shipping. Just be aware and order locally if you can. I hope they hold up well....we shall see.
So sorry for your terrible experience. We all try so hard to make the right decisions on these really expensive things. It's frustrating and infuriating when things go so wrong. It's nice of you to warn others. You might want to post the same thing over on the Discussions side, since it gets a lot more traffic.
I'm considering using Cliq for a kitchen redo. After reading some posting on finish quality, I decided to do a semi-scientific test. I am an engineer so I could not help myself. I have a door sample that I recently received from Cliq for the Dayton : Painted White finish. I smeared it with mustard, soy sauce, salsa, basamic vinegar, and olive oil, let them sit a few minutes, then rubbed them in with my finger. I then tried to clean the sample door with a wet soapy dishcloth. Everything came perfectly clean except the spot where the mustard was. So, I got a slightly used magic eraser from my wife's cleaning supplies and gently tried to remove the mustard stain. After only a few strokes of light scrubbing (maybe 10 or less passes) the stain was completely gone. I could not notice any appreciable degradation to the finish. Then I thought, how much abuse can this finish take? So, I scrubbed the same area with the magic eraser over and over. I applied moderate to heavy pressure - much more than I used when I removed the mustard stain. The picture shows the results. However, I don't think it is so bad because I had to scrub 275 strokes to get that that point. That's 275 up and back so really more like 550 passes of the magic eraser. Consider normal daily cleaning and the probability that you would ever have to scrub the same exact area of any door that much over the many years you plan to have the kitchen. And, all the other gunk wiped clean with just a wet dishcloth and some dish soap which would NOT really cause any appreciable distress to the finish like the magic eraser might. I think most painted cabinet finishes would probably distress after this much abusive scrubbing. For me, I think this finish passed my test. :)
I know this is an old thread. Considering ordering cabinets from Cliq Studios. Anyone have any updates on their experience. My friend ordered them and she said they are nice and if she had any issues they have cleared it up right away. Any opinions out there?

Spring in the garden
Pinus sylvestris 'Lodge Hill'
Picea abies 'Loreley'
Picea breweriana 'Inversa'
Richard your gardens are beautiful! You put things together that really compliment each other, and I love your Heathers in there. I found myself going back through the photos several times to make sure I didn't miss anything. Would love to see this in Spring, Summer and Fall.
Sprucebud, you'made a lot of progress. Lookin' good!
chohio, there are Heathers in the garden, but it's Heaths that are blooming. Heathers are Caluna and Heaths are Erica.
Looks like Erica carnea, 'Springwood' is the white one. The other one may be 'Springwood Pink'.
Great stuff Richard. It's always refreshing to see gardens with plants we never see over here. A nice mix of colors and conifers, not too unlike my own tastes. Don't you have a bunch of great Abies procera buns?
And what is the Pinus parviflora on standard?
Thanks for sharing!
outstanding start for your Spring, Richard. Add some mulch and you're ready for prime time.
I've never seen Picea breweriana 'Inversa' before. How did you come across that little beauty? Happy to have something new on my "try to find" list.
You have some diamonds Richard, thanks.
I'm going to say the standard is an Abies, probably lasiocarpa - the bark looks like a fir. I like it and am also interested to know what it is. I'm too curious about the trenches and their functionality?
Thank you for your appreciation and enthusiasm.
The leader on the 'Loreley' is certainly upright but does need some support as it seems to give quite a lot in the wind.
I have a spruce on a standard: picea pungens 'Super Maixner' (photo 7).
The picea breweriana 'Inversa' I bought from Kohout nursery in Germany and has been in the ground now for over a year. Seems to have settled well.
The trenches are actually a woodchip path (!) - admittedly, they are fairly narrow but perhaps this is enhanced on the photos.
Picea omorika 'Pendula Bruns'
Picea omorika 'Bruns'
Pinus sylvestris 'Trollguld'
Pinus strobus 'Sea Urchin'
Abies koreana 'Hulsdonk'

Grim music is very much in vogue these days – the tell-tale sign being washed-out back and white photos that seem to have escaped from the liner covers of horror movie soundtracks, among other giveaways. But it can get carried away. You might sometimes wonder if producers were being paid by their reverb plug-ins in exchange for lengthening delay times.
Milena Kriegs aka Milena Głowacka, however, is some blissfully frightening music I feel is worth listening to. Straddling darker, deeper techno and adventures into more ambient/experimental territory, this Warsaw-based artist is at the center of a growing amount of finely-crafted electronic shadows.
And she's a particular aptitude playing live. What I've come to appreciate about Milena's work is its economy and extraordinary restraint. Each move is subtle and slow, each sound – and yes, each reverb tail – necessary. As such, I think she's a nice introduction to a network of European artists making these sorts of sounds.
Głowacka is a relative newcomer to many of the parties she plays, having begun playing only in 2012. But she has quickly established herself on some high-quality lineups. Her October set from about blank is a standout of recent live PA sets that have crossed my way. (That event included resident Silva Rymd in her wonderful ZEROIZE series alongside long-time electronic music mainstay Heiko Laux.) Fluid, each sound a consistent thread:

2013 All-Prisco Team: Who makes the cut? Here's a look at the criteria
2013 All-Prisco Team: Skill positions | D-line | O-line | Secondary | Linebackers
When I recently told St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Michael Brockers he was on my preseason All-Prisco team, his face lit up.
"Thanks, man," he said. "Appreciate it. Nice to hear."
That's the reaction I received when I told many of the players they were on my first All-Prisco team. The reason they seemed to appreciate the notice is because almost all of them are young players striving for the big acclaim.
When I set out to put together an All-Prisco team, I did it with a handful of parameters.
1. The quarterback could be any age and have any salary. That position now makes up 70 percent of the game.
2. The rest of the team would all have to be 26 years old or younger. Age matters in the NFL. Old and slow and you must go.
3. The defense would be a 4-3 front. I am a traditionalist who believes in that style. So some 3-4 ends might be 4-3 tackles in this defense.
4. The offense would not have a fullback, but instead have three receivers. Fullbacks are for your daddy's NFL. What do they call throwing or handing off to a fullback? Donating a down.
5. I included a nickel corner -- yes, 12 defenders -- because that position is on the field more than 60 percent of the time. The nickel corner is a starter. So I have 12 defenders. Kill me.
6. My back is an "air" back. That means he can go 70 yards in a hurry and catch 60 passes.
7. There are no specialists. They are not a third of the game. Punt it out of bounds.
8. The team is broken down into five columns: Skill offensive players, offensive line, defensive line, linebackers and secondary. One player from each group will be highlighted and broken down on tape. There will be short explanations on the others in each group.
So enjoy the first All-Prisco team. And remember these names when it comes Pro Bowl time in 2013.

Definition: This entry gives the average annual number of births during a year per 1,000 persons in the population at midyear; also known as crude birth rate. The birth rate is usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth. It depends on both the level of fertility and the age structure of the population.

Dear Mark: Growing Appetite, Boxing as Cardio, and Ammonia Sweat
Posted By Mark Sisson On July 21, 2014 @ 1:39 am In Dear Mark,Fitness | 28 Comments
For today's edition of Dear Mark [7], I'm covering three questions from readers. First, how does a Primal family handle the growing appetite of a growing prepubescent without resorting to cheap fillers? It may involve reassessing our definition of "filler," for one. Second, does boxing – an intense, demanding sport by any measure – qualify as chronic cardio? It's intense, to be sure, but what if you really, really enjoy and thrive doing it? And finally, should you worry if your sweat smells like ammonia? Some say it's a sure sign of impending doom, others wave it off as totally benign. Find out what I think below.
Let's go:
Dear Mark,
We have a growing 12 year old boy whose appetite has also been growing with him. His diet is 75% primal as he eats what we eat with a few exceptions (bun with burger, occasional pasta etc). We obviously want to stay away from the easy cheap fillers – white rice, potatoes, pasta so do you have any suggestions as to how we can feed his appetite without having him eat us out of Primal house and home? What foods/dishes would you recommend we incorporate into his diet that will satisfy his hunger while also continuing to live a healthy lifestyle?
Thank you,
Honestly, don't underestimate the power of the filler. Growing kids sometimes just need sheer caloric density to maintain and support that growth. Yeah, micronutrients are extremely important, but you can't satisfy all his caloric requirements with kale, chard, oysters, liver, and wild blueberries. Provide ample amounts of healthy fats [8], animal parts, and vegetables at every meal – which it sounds like you're already doing – and round out the calories with some "filler" foods that contain starch to provide caloric bulk.
I can hear you balking. Adults for whom growth means bigger belts and added risk of chronic diseases? Filler foods should be limited, absolutely, in favor of the most nutrient-dense foods you can find. Kids are a different story. Growth is good, is physiological rather than pathological, and they need both. Some ideas:
White potatoes: Believe it or not, white potatoes [9] are quite nutritious [10]. And they make a good source of resistant starch [11] when allowed to cool overnight in the fridge. They get a bad rap because of french fries fried in two day-old reheated oil, hash browns cooked in vegetable oil, potato chips, and other junk food. That's how most people eat potatoes (and it's why they're the most widely consumed vegetable in the US).
Sweet potatoes: Primal darlings, the sweet potato family [12] is both carb and nutrient-rich and perfect for a growing boy in need of energy. Check out an Asian grocer for the purple Okinawan sweet potatoes for a massive dose of anthocyanins (the purple pigments with antioxidant effects [13], also found in blueberries and other purple/blue foods).
White/wild rice: Yeah, rice. I said it. It's easy to make, it's relatively devoid of antinutrients, and it can be a great vehicle for nutritious ingredients. Best of all, rice absorbs anything you add to the cooking water. For example, instead of water, use homemade bone broth, a pat of grass-fed butter, and some sea salt to cook your rice.
Winter squash: Who doesn't love a nice butternut squash? The downside to these is that quality really matters. With tubers, quality is fairly constant. It's hard to find a really bad sweet potato, or a truly awful Russet. But a bad butternut squash is bad. It's bland, watery, fibrous, and not even really worth eating. To avoid such tragedy, go for heavy squash, dense ones that just feel weighty in your hand. Hold two squash up of comparable size, one in each hand, and choose the heaviest.
Hope it helps!
Hi Mark,
Before embarking on my primal journey I was a keen boxer. Once I started to learn about the primal principles I gave up boxing in favour of weights and the occasional sprints, fearing that my boxing was too much like chronic cardio. Fast forward 3 years and a stall in my weight loss, I have recently taking up boxing again – and quickly remembered everything I loved about it – the sense of power, confidence, lightning quick reflexes and participating in a group. My weight is finally shifting again and after an intense boxing class I feel relaxed for days.
So I was wondering – is a 1 hour boxing class really like chronic cardio? Or is it more like 'play'? I would love to continue to box guilt free.
Thanks so much
There was a huge physical component to my abandonment of endurance training – the arthritis, the tendinitis, the inhuman amounts of junk carbs it required me to eat and the subsequent metabolic fallout – but a big reason I stopped running marathons and triathlons was because I stopped loving and began hating it. Endurance grew into a chore [14] that seeped into the rest of my life, intruding on my thoughts when I was trying to enjoy myself with my family and friends. You say boxing relaxes you for days after a session; all I could feel after a training session was the dread of having to do it all over again the next day. I couldn't even read a book or enjoy a romantic dinner without worrying I was wasting my time, valuable time that I should be spending in preparation for some event off in the future. That psychological component in addition to the physical effects made it chronic cardio [15].
You should never feel guilty doing something you truly love, especially if the objective, empirical effects on your life are positive. You're losing body fat – that's an undeniably positive effect (as long as you're not losing too much body fat [16]). You're more relaxed. You're part of a community. When I read about the power and confidence and quick reflexes you feel when you box, it sounds like you're hitting that "flow [17]" state we're all after where you merge with the activity itself and exist only in the moment. And maybe most importantly, you're having fun.
Besides, the intensity of boxing isn't like the intensity of training for high intensity endurance events. In one experiment [18], an hour of "boxing training" expended about as much energy as running 9 kilometers in 60 minutes (a bit slower than a 10 minute mile pace). That's pretty easy and not too stressful just looking at total expenditure, but they don't explain what the training consisted of. Was it lots of short bouts of sparring interspersed with short bouts of rest, as most sparring goes? That's a far cry from ceaseless pounding of the pavement.
Definitely stick with it. Boxing can get incredibly intense, so depending on how you train, boxing may be able to replace or supplant the sprints [19]. I would continue with weight training.
Just watch out for the head trauma.
Ammonia smelling sweat: Is it just normal (assuming your daily carb intake trails around 50g & approx. 1g of protein per kg body weight and a 40:60 protein to fat consumption ratio) or an alarm signal? Comments on forums (including yours) range from "Nah, take it easy, dude …" to "This is a serious warning signal and it should scare the sh*t out of you!". Can you shed some light on this? Thank you!
Ammonia is a natural byproduct of protein metabolism [20]. Whenever protein is metabolized for energy (rather than incorporated into muscle tissue), we produce ammonia. Normally, the liver [21] converts it into urea, which is less toxic than ammonia and more easily excreted. But if urea is saturated or the liver is experiencing problems, ammonia can back up and require additional excretion avenues (like sweat).
Ammonia excretion in sweat during and following exercise is normal because our muscle protein [22] is constantly being broken down. It's also constantly being replenished, which is why lifting a barbell [23] doesn't result in a net loss of muscle, but rather a net gain over time. But the point is simple: exercise breaks down protein, and broken-down protein releases ammonia. And some of that ammonia shows up in our sweat. Cycling at just 40% of maximum heart rate – a relatively easy pace – produces ammonia-tinged sweat [24]. It really doesn't take much.
Low carb diets lead to increased ammonia production [25] during exercise, and this is completely expected. Low-carbers often have reduced muscle glycogen, which leads to a greater reliance on protein during exercise [26]. Not only are you creating ammonia via exercise-driven protein catabolism, you're also creating it by converting protein into glucose via gluconeogenesis. All totally normal.
If this is worrying you, you can always eat a few more carbs on workout days. You can make sure those 50 grams of carbs you're already eating come from starches [27] and fruits [28], rather than green vegetables [29] (which don't really count toward your carb count [30]). You can also get a liver function test to rule out hepatic insufficiency.
My bet? You're turning to gluconeogenesis to fuel your intense training. You can get by and even thrive in endurance training on low-carb, provided you're fat-adapted. But in the context of high intensity, glycogen-intensive training, your body's going to get the glycogen however it can, either through gluconeogenesis [31] from protein or by utilizing dietary glucose. You might as well just eat glucose, its direct precursor. It's cheaper that way and minimizes the buildup of ammonia. Consider carb refeeds [32] two or three times a week to saturate your glycogen [33] stores; it doesn't take much.
Another factor may be insufficient fat adaptation [34]. I'll be dealing with this very subject in my upcoming book, Primal Endurance, which is all about fueling and optimizing performance on a high-fat diet [35]. The focus is endurance performance, but with a few tweaks you can get pretty close to optimal high-intensity, normally glycogen-dependent performance with full fat adaptation [36]. Stay tuned for that one.
That it for today, everyone. Thanks for reading and keep the questions and comments coming! Be sure to chime in if you have any additional advice for today's questioners.

AUSmotive: Allan McNish crash Le Mans 2011 (HD)
Allan McNish in the #3 Audi R18 TDI was involved in a horrific accident in
the 2011 Le Mans 24 hour race. McNish made contact with the #58 Ferrari and
crashed heavily into the barriers just after the Dunlop bridge. Thankfully
he was able to walk away with no major injury.
Le Mans 24 Hours 2011 - Allan McNish Crash Audi R18 #3 (English)
Audis R18 (Tom Kristensen, Allan Mcnish and Rinaldo "Dindo" Capello) Hits a
ferrari and Crashes into the barrier wich almost seems to kill allan
macnish, but luckely he survived.
The first hour of today's Le Mans 24 Hour race was marred by a huge
accident for Audi's Scottish driver Allan McNish.
McNish had enjoyed a superb start from fifth on the grid to be running
second shortly before the hour mark when he clipped the number 58 GTE Pro
Ferrari of Anthony Beltoise while attempting to lap the back marker as the
cars headed down towards the Esses, crashing violently into the barriers.
The Audi R18 suffered a high impact and slewed over the Armco railing
throwing debris over trackside marshals and photographers.
McNish was extracted safely from his stricken car but there was no
immediate word on whether any spectators had been hurt.
The accident forced the safety car onto the track and left last year's
winner Timo Bernhard up front in the lead Audi ahead of its remaining
sister car and the three Peugeots.
A horrible crash for Allan McNish in the opening hour of the 2011 Le Mans
24 Hours, he tried to pass one of the slower cars, made contact and went
hard into the barriers. Luckily he and everyone behind that barrier escaped
LE MANS, France (Reuters) - Former winner Allan McNish escaped serious
injury after crashing his Audi shortly after the start of the Le Mans 24
Hours sportscar race on Saturday.
The official race website (http://www.lemans.org) said the Scot, who
stepped out of the wreckage unaided, was unhurt but taken to the circuit
medical centre for precautionary checks.
The safety car was deployed after the accident involving the number three
Audi R18 and the Ferrari 458 driven by Anthony Beltoise, with German Timo
Bernhard leading the race in the number one Audi.
The number two Audi driven by Frenchman Benoit Treluyer was in second
McNish had been challenging Bernhard, overtaking his team mate after the
Dunlop Bridge but then clipping the slower Ferrari.
The Audi, which McNish was sharing with Denmark's Tom Kristensen and
Italian Rinaldo Capello, was launched sideways into the gravel trap and
nearly cleared the barriers with bodywork flying.
The Ferrari was largely undamaged and continued.
"The Ferrari closed the door, Allan had no chance whatsoever. He went off
very quickly, but luckily managed to get out of the car unharmed," said
Audi motorsport head Wolfgang Ullrich.
"To see that the cars are so strong is good, but that's not the way we like
to demonstrate it."
Audi, in a battle with French rivals Peugeot, have won six of the last
seven editions of the race and swept the front row in qualifying with
Treluyer on pole and the number one Audi alongside.

flocking to La Sarthe year by year to experience the one-day race. To watch
the protagonists in their sports cars battle for each place and each meter
of tarmac with bated breath. The drivers cover 4,800 kilometers in 24 hours
- almost as many as the Formula One racers in a whole year. Every Le Mans
winner has gone down in history. The three Audi drivers Andr'Äö
Lotterer, BenoŒt Tr'luyer and Marcel F"ssler did so in a
special way with the triumph they achieved in 2011. The film TRUTH IN 24 II
documents the tenth and arguably most emotional triumph of the brand with
the four rings at this sports car classic. After two Audi R18 TDI cars have
retired following spectacular accidents, the remaining Audi fights a
dramatic battle for overall victory with the three Peugeot 908 cars ? which
the Audi trio ultimately decides in its favor with a narrow margin of 13
seconds. The film captures the entire drama of the fourth-narrowest running
of the Le Mans 24 Hours ? with intimate insights into the team of Audi
Sport and breath-taking pictures.

Mike Rockenfeller Crash Le Mans 24 Hours 2011
Audi suffered its second unbelievable accident just hours after Allan
McNish's race-ending crash, with driver Mike Rockenfeller reportedly
climbing from the destroyed R18 under his own power.
Rockenfeller, part of the defending race-winning No. 1 Audi R18 driving
team, was attempting to pass the No 71 AF Corse Ferrari F458 driven by
Michael Waltrip Racing's Rob Kaufmann at 10:40 p.m. when the two cars made
contact at the ultra-fast Kink section of the Mulsanne Straight.
Official reports from both teams are forthcoming.

1987 Cadillac Brougham • V8 2WD Automatic • 118,000 miles
1987 Cadillac Brougham V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 118,000 miles. The engine drags after installing new timing chain. I took the chain back off and motors spins freely. Now the chain is back on and it drags like timing is off but no matter which way I turn distributor it stays the same. What have I done wrong or is there something else wrong? I never removed distributor.
October 20, 2010.
October 20, 2010.
To change timing you have to put it in limp mode, timing is set in computer so it stays, may have the distributor off a tooth check that also, put a jumper wire in the diagnostic terminal to get check engine light on ( limp mode).

A major breakthrough by Irish scientists could prevent the onset of Type 2 diabetes which affects 14 per cent of people over 40 in the developed world.
The research was undertaken at Trinity College and University College Dublin. Scientist there say they may have found the underlying cause of the disease.
It is "a big problem in Ireland", Prof Luke O'Neill, key researcher said. "There is a huge need to come up with new treatments."
The scientists have discovered that a hormone known as IAPP, which gets deposited in the pancreas, is the trigger for the disease.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and can be caused by major weight gain.
The researchers have published their findings in the leading journal, Nature Immunology.
"We have found what might be the straw that breaks the camel's back in type 2 diabetes," said Dr Seth Masters, lead author of the publication.
It is the existence of the substance known as Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP), Prof O'Neill said.
"We have come across a key protein in the body called IAPP. This irritates the immune system in the body," Prof O'Neill said. "It is a breakthrough because nobody has come across this before."
The effect of IAPP is to ramp up the immune response where it occurs in the pancreas.
Pills could be developed to stop the formation of IAPP the scientists said.

HAVE: free orchid cactus, epi cuttings
hello, i just cut back my regular white night blooming epi and have a bunch of cuttings. these cuttings arent that nice. most, if not all have freeze damage. thats why i cut it back. they are all good cuttings, they will produce nice plants, but dont look that good. i just dont feel like making any more plants. i have tones of this stuff. anyway, i would be willing to give them away for free as long as you pay for the shipping. just send me a few bucks and ill send them out. im not sure how much it will cost to send them, probably like $4. i dont know. if anyone wants to trade, that would be cool. if anyone is interested just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or put up a follow up post. thanks a lot.
anyone that has some epi cutting ; I am very interested in trying to grow these. I had a very nice red one that my grandma gave to me many years ago and would to get some again since I no longer have my grandma; it would keep her in my memory all the time.
please respond
thanks sooo much
Like several of the postings, I had an orchid cactus that a friend gave me. It bloomed one, then we moved to Arizona and it died....maybe from shock of temperature change. I would really like to get another start, if anyone has any to spare. Thank you for your consideration and your time in replying to: email@example.com......Carol

The normal culprits Losing weight, getting fit, saving money are usually first on my list of resolutions. However, I have finally realised that I will still be the same plump, out-of-breath person this time next year if I do not call in the cavalry. By myself the diet and gym routine is not going to happen – I need the support and structure that qualified experts can give me. In January I will therefore do the rounds with a dietician and biokinetikist to determine the best plan to tackle this seemingly impossibly high mountain. I will also engage the services of a personal trainer that will hopefully help keep me on track with the necessary exercise program (and may he or she have a warehouse full of patience and love big challenges!). As part of the preparation for this life-changing plan I have booked a shopping trip with myself to get new gym clothes and trainers – not having the right gear should not be an excuse anymore. Fixing your financesGetting our financials in order is also one of those resolutions that appear every year on most people's lists. A lot of people are hesitant to take control of their finances because of the perceived complexity of money matters. Other people are discouraged by the seemingly impossible goal of getting ahead of all the debt and expenses. If achieving the goal of healthy finances eludes you year after year, then maybe it is also time that you call in the experts to help you tackle it head on. Here's how a certified financial planner can help you:• They can help you work through a spending plan or budget to determine if you are employing your hard-earned money in the most effective way, as well as the opportunity cost of any non-essential expenses. • A certified financial planner will help you unpack your goals for life. This includes the mundane financial stuff such as buying a new car or retirement, but also the more life-enriching things such as studying for another qualification, a six-month 4x4 trip into Africa or attending the next World Cup (in whatever sporting discipline takes your fancy). The reason why it is important to get the help of a financial planner even for the 'soft' goals, is that they are probably going to cost money, and will not happen unless you have a dedicated savings plan to achieve them. • A financial planner will help you plan for the time when you will pay your living expenses from the income generated by your investment portfolio and not your salary – we call it retirement. • A financial planner will help you with your financial health check – how high is the pressure in your debt situation? What is the measurement of your risk cover (life and disability) in the event of life-changing events such as the death of a loved one or a serious illness? Can your savings withstand the financial consequences of acute emergencies? • With a regular review program in place, a financial planner can help you with definite checkpoints on the way to your goals to see if you are achieving them, and if not, if the are still realistic. I have realised that I will not be able to achieve my goal of losing weight by myself – I need an expert. But I also realise that the kind of expertise I need will cost me – however, the cost will be related to the level of support I am buying in. I know that I will pay a certain amount if I just want the dietician to draw up a plan for me, but I will have to fork out a lot more if I need them to hold my hand during the process. I realise that the cost of the regular hand-holding will be directly inverse to the level (or lack thereof!) of my self-discipline: the more self-discipline I can muster, the less I will have to pay somebody to keep me in line. The fees that an expert financial planner will charge you should be based on the same principle and, in return, the guidance you receive could be worth a fortune towards your financial goals!May we all have a historic 2013 – when we finally make our New Years' resolutions reality and not just dreams.

Washington: Beware diet conscious people,
the low-carb meals you are taking to keep fit may have more
calories than nutrition labelling indicates.
American researchers have claimed that some commercially
prepared foods contained more calories than indicated in
nutritional labelling.
In a study published in Journal of the American Dietetic
Association, the team from Tufts University said since people
who are trying to reduce their weight are encouraged to choose
meals labelled as "lower in calories" or "reduced-energy" in
restaurants and supermarkets, it is essential that the listed
data are accurate.
But after measuring energy values of 29 quick-serve and
sit-down restaurant foods, they found that on an average all
the items had 18 per cent more calories than the stated
Likewise, measured energy values of 10 frozen meals
purchased from supermarkets averaged 8 per cent more calories
than stated on the label, the study said.
"These findings suggest that stated energy contents of
reduced-energy meals obtained from restaurants and
supermarkets are not consistently accurate and in this study
averaged more than measured values, especially when free side
dishes were taken into account, which on average contained
more energy than the entrees alone," lead author Susan B
Roberts said.
