Again with the Diet and Exercise!!!!
January 20, 2015 by
It Must be Sustainable, in Order to be Maintainable………
November 12, 2014 by
This morning the news reported that fad diets, while they work for weight loss in the short term, don't work in the long term. What works? The reported concluded that exercise and healthful eating are the solution to long term weight loss. AND THIS MAKES THE NEWS? The problem with diets, to me, is that if you can go ON one, then of course, you can also go OFF of one, as well. While there is no doubt that many fad diets are incredibly effective at getting the pounds off, if it is not something you can sustain for the long haul, it is highly unlikely you will be able to maintain the loss. This is what leads to the yo-yo syndrome which is, according to those in the medical field, rather unhealthy.
While I am on this topic, I need to say, once again, as a society we need to stop confusing CARBS with CRAP! If you are eating veggies and fruits, you are eating carbs and they are NEVER going to be what's making/keeping you overweight. From my experience, when people are successful on a low carb diet it's because they have cut out the CRAP they ordinarily eat. The main purpose of carbohydrates in our daily "diet," is to provide energy to all the cells in the body. If you are limiting your carbs enough, the body will resort to using the amino acids from protein, but only if your carb level is low enough to be in ketosis, which may have been a natural state for the caveman, but our modernized world has definitely not allowed for ANY of us to live like they did. Ketosis is very controversial so I leave that up to you to do your homework. Once again, this only happens when carb intake is EXTREMELY low and that means one is probably not getting ample fiber and nutrients to stay healthy even if they are losing weight. I promise that if you listed all the carbs you eat and then delete the ones that are CRAP you will lose weight–perhaps not as fast as you would like, but in a way you can sustain to maintain!
Thanks to those that came back to the mat last night, proving it pays to "advertise." A simple reminder and a couple of flyers at the gym and class size doubled from last week to this week. I love all the classes that I teach and love all the different types of training I do during my personal training sessions, but I have to admit that the peaceful yoga/Pilates stretch and stress reduction is the one that truly nurtures all aspects of our being–body, mind and soul. As we continue to move into the season of giving, giving, giving, I hope that you will remember to take time out to give to the most important person of all….YOU. We cannot give what we don't already have, so taking care of YOU, really benefits everyone in your world.
Finally, I have to say that as I continue my daily practice of meditation, I am feeling much more focused on who I am and what I desire at my deepest level, which is helping others to feel good in their own bodies, minds and souls. This was proof to me that taking time each day to take care of me by nurturing my spirit, allows me to appreciate how much I desire seeing others succeed in finding their own happiness through peace and fitness. Namaste.
The Secret to the Age Old Weight Loss Question…and a Little Motivation
September 29, 2014 by
If you know me, or read my blog, you know I am much softer than the above quote. But it's true! Stop looking for secrets and start moving. Today is SOMEDAY! Let's get busy!
This morning I am motivated by Hugo Radelat, Kyle's best friend Eric's dad, who completed the Ironman Augusta yesterday! Congrats to you Hugo! I am motivated by Rose Brickman who blew it out in the NGA Champions & Challengers Pro/Am 2014.
Mostly, however, I am motivated by those that wake up physically challenged and still set out to accomplish goals that others might consider impossible….individuals like my public school friend Jan's son, Levi, who lost a leg after a motorcycle accident a few years ago and went on to train for triathlons. Just last week he came in 3rd place in the Tempe para-triathlon. All of these people inspire me to push myself every day and I am grateful to be impacted by all of them.
Get out of your own head and let your body show you just how much it is capable of. It will change your head in ways you never thought possible. Go get em!

Michael Caronwrote a review of Big Agnes Fly Creek UL1 Ultra Light Tent: 1-Person 3-Season on July 19, 2012
Before I talk I will tell you that I'm a tent connoisseur. I got this tent around Christmas and I used it out in my backyard to test the material and make sure everything was good. The second night, it leaked so I returned it to Big Agnes and they gave me a brand new one. This one has had no problems and is the best tent I have seen.

Hi all!
A friend of mine recommended the book Baby Bargains, by Denise and Alan Fields, and as a first time mom I have to say, that thing is a life saver!
I had to share, in case other FTMs like me are getting a bit overwhelmed with all the baby gear we feel pressured to buy. To me, all this is new, and it feels like exploring a strange and foreign lang (LOL), so having this book to refer to as a guide of sorts is wonderful!
It has name brand reviews of all the main gear items, suggestions on the good/better/best pics, reviews of online registries and web sites, safety tips, advice on what to avoid getting (money wasters, etc.). I really can't thank my friend enough for this!
I hope it is useful for you ladies too! :)

When former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey decided in the end to enter the 2012 senate race, he wasn't alone. But soon he may be.
Chuck Hassebrook, who was also running in the primary, has decided to step aside rather than put the party through a battle. Saying he realized he would not succeed, Hassebrook has left the race and endorsed Kerrey.
But Republicans are calling it shenanigans and more signs of "backdoor deals." "First Bob Kerrey cut a secret deal with [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid and now he struck some type of agreement with Chuck Hassebrook to clear the Democrat field for the primary," said state Sen. Deb Fischer, who is running for the Republican endorsement.
The Reid deal is a reference to allegations that Reid agreed to some sort of pot sweetener for Kerrey if he would agree to return to the race and run for Democratic Senator Ben Nelson's seat. However, Kerrey has made it clear that there was no actual "deal" other than was that his seniority "would be considered" when it comes to committee placements if he wins the election, but there were no guarantees. As for fundraising help, Reid was non-committal.
Ben Nelson will be retiring at the end of 2012.

John B. I agree with you. John Kerry and Max Cleland both heroes, with one losing limbs in the Vietnam war, were horribly maligned by the Bush/Cheney/Rove gang. Bob Kerrey is also a hero, he was a Seal in the military. We need men like this in office..
This man looks honest and well-thought out. We need all of that we can get. Good luck to him.
I pray that Senator Kerry does not get attacked the way Max Cleveland was savaged. For anybody to do so to a Medal of Honor Recipient would be truly disgraceful, and should not be tolerated.
With due respect for Chuck Hassebrook, he had no name recognition. There are several Republicans to duke it out in the primary. Former Gov. Kerrey and former Sen. Kerrey has a proven record. He could reason with both sides of the aisle and was known in Washington as a good guy. Of course they're afraid of him. Bob Kerrey has said that he will not be an automatic winner. And we all know that you have to have money to get elected in this country. We may not like it, but that's the way it is. Kerrey can no doubt raise more money than Mr. Hassebrook. Our Nebraska primary is in May. Vote now and in every election.
I'm going with Kerrey the Republicans are afraid of him; so watch for the PAC to start hitting at him. Nebraskan's know Kerrey and they trust him we can not say the same for the Republicans who all want that TransCanada XL pipeline to go through Nebraska for some reason because we sure aren't going to benefit from it.
Send all the Republicans home and elect Progressives to fix this mess we are in. It's because of them we are in this mess. They know it and the people know it at least the ones who can still think logically about what is happening. If you vote for the party of NO your voting against yourselves.
Go, Kerrey!
Enjoy more fun and Watch 21 Jump Street Movie Online
How about we citizens make a deal with each other. Let us deal the GOP governors, and legislators at federal and state levels out of government. Then let us deal to do something for all of us. It is about time.
backroom wheeling and dealing is always going on in inter-party politics and by both parties.

Each Good Morning Pill contains B-vitamins to jumpstart your metabolism, an antioxidant (vitamin C) to promote overall health, and caffeine (about as much as an energy shot or drink) to help wake you up!
Take any time of the day to increase alertness and focus. Take after a night of drinking to help lessen the effects of a hangover.
The Good Morning Pill provides all of these benefits in a convenient, easy-to-swallow pill. There's no need to force down a harsh-tasting large energy drink or cup of coffee when you can just take one Good Morning Pill with your usual morning food or drink. If you were looking for a pill to replace your normal energy shot, energy drink or cup of coffee, the Good Morning Pill is the solution! Each Good Morning Pill has zero calories and no artificial sweeteners.
Best of all, each Good Morning Pill costs up to 90% less than an energy drink or energy shot! If you substitute a Good Morning Pill for your usual energy drink, energy shot, or cup of coffee, you can save up to $1,000 per year!The recommended serving size is just one Good Morning Pill. (Many competing products require two pills per dose - you can't find a better product or value than the Good Morning Pill!
The Good Morning Pill is now available in three convenient sizes (15 count, 60 count, and 120 count) to meet your needs.
WANT SOMETHING STRONGER? Try our new GMP Turbo. 54% more caffeine for people who need it.

""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "

LOS ANGELES — When USC needed a big start Sunday afternoon from freshman Stephen Tarpley, he supplied it.
Tarpley improved to 5-1 on the season, pitching 7 1/3 innings and allowing only two runs on six hits and a walk to help the Trojans (22-17, 7-10) to a 6-2 victory and a series win over visiting Oregon State (28-14, 8-10).
Tarpley struggled in the first inning, allowing back-to-back doubles to open the game, but found his groove shortly after.

November 19, 1944
We live in the basement of the U. of Minnesota football stadium. Our dorm consists of 46 beds lined up in two rows in an unfinished concrete dungeon-like arena with no windows.
The experiment has 3 phases:
1) three months of standardization;
2) six months of semi-starvation; and
3) three months of rehabilitation.
So for the next year there will be no furloughs, no snacks, no leaving Stadium South Tower overnight.
February 11, 1945
Tomorrow we start our semi-starvation diet. Frankly, I'm scared! This is the first time ever that a sustained six month human semi-starvation experiment has been attempted in a laboratory.
March 16, 1945
Wow! My clothes look sloppy! My belt buckle is in the last notch - a decrease of three notches since the starvation began. I bought suspenders to keep my pants in place. I can wear a size 32 coat instead of the 37 I had when I came to Minneapolis. An in-house joke making the rounds: The neighbors are beginning to fence their lawns to keep the guinea pigs [COs who volunteered for the starvation experiment] out; they've taken to consuming grass as a substitute for real food.
April 24, 1945
I'm beginning to want to isolate myself from the other subjects who are developing all kinds of weird behaviors. Everyone seems to be losing their interpersonal skills. And the starvation is less than half over!
May 10, 1945
My pervasive hunger.
My hunger has taken on new dimensions that I could never have imagined. It seems that my bones, my muscles, my stomach and my mind have united in their yearning for FOOD! How disgusting.
June 23, 1945
Social isolation.
Today it's four years since I was recruited into alternative service. It's not a day to celebrate, but if it were, I'd have no one with whom to celebrate, I feel alone and don't talk much. I'd rather read recipe books. Last Saturday my favorite professor Doc Wittmer from Goshen came to entertain me with a nature hike. What a bore to identify plants when what I wanted to do was to eat them, not name them.
June 25, 1945
Books on starvation tell us that hungry people eat clay, wood, bark, unclean animals and often become cannibalistic. Yesterday I took the lead out of a pencil and began chewing the wood. It tasted all right. For some crazy reason I crave raw horseradish, sassafras roots and rabbit meat. I think about how cannibalism is a terrible option for a starving person, and try to put it out of my mind, but I can't seem to stop thinking about it. People are a terrible bore. I don't know what I'd do without my private room and my stack of cookbooks.
July 6, 1945
Today Jim and I made a routine visit to a restaurant to watch people eat.
We bought our usual black coffee and directed our attention to a well-dressed lady who had ordered a beautiful pork chop dinner. She tinkered with the chop, eating less than half of that wonderful looking tenderloin. She nibbled at the string beans, embellished with nuts and bacon. Finally she ordered a fantastic coconut cream pie, which appeared to us as God's prize creation. She pushed off the wonderful whipped cream on the top, nibbled daintily at the filling, leaving the crust untouched. What a stupid woman! She paid her bill and left the restaurant, with Jim and I close behind. Jim stopped her and proceeded to lecture her on world hunger and how she was contributing to it. She shrieked an exclamation and took off running.
July 8, 1945
The drive for survival.
All body functions such as pulse rate, heart size, respiration rate are reduced to optimally utilize those limited calories which are available to sustain body functions. Cannibalism, death through starvation, grass salads and eating garbage are more than fleeting thoughts. We are told that we are starving so that thousands of starving people might be fed. Such thoughts are fleeting, and I'd give them up in a minute for a few slices of bread.
July 28, 1945
Personal appearance
One more day of anxiety, tension and starvation. This morning I looked in the mirror and hated what I saw. My face is now emaciated, sad and flecked with black dots, a condition called folliculosis.
July 21, 1945
I have a bad infection on my heel that started a week or so ago with a little blister. It's puffed up and inflamed, and the doctor tells me not to wear a shoe or hike for a few days. That's what starvation does! You have a little injury and it won't heal. I suspect that death from starvation is more probable because of low resistance to disease and infection and that the health-restoring antibodies are less functional.
July 29, 1945
Rehabilitation time at last! In college we anticipated an attractive date; at Christmastime we looked forward to gifts and family gatherings; in camp we anticipated furloughs. But none of these examples hold a match to the anticipation of the first day of rehabilitation. FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! At last the object of our dreams, our thoughts, our conversation will be within reach.
September 20, 1945
We're seven weeks into rehabilitation and our starvation symptoms have not abated significantly. Our look, our hunger, our minimal weight gain all verify our minimal rehabilitation.
October 19, 1945
This day started out with anticipation; starvation and rehabilitation are almost over. But tonight the axe fell. This evening Dr. Taylor called me in to his office and told me I have developed a tuberculosis lesion on the apex of my left lung. This announcement completely destroys my dream of becoming a doctor, for Dr. Taylor says that TB and studying medicine are totally incompatible.
Final Chapter
The next six months I was in bed rest at home under the supervision of my mother, who had always been successful in satisfying my nutritional needs. She fed me well, and in six months I gained 79 pounds. During this time my appetite continued unabated; I apparently tried to satisfy all my needs by eating. My tuberculosis lesion healed well, but one year later, I developed a second lesion which also healed relatively rapidly. I have had no recurring symptoms since.
Survivors of the experiments living in Florida still meet regularly. In
1991 Lester Glick and Charles Smith organized a 50th reunion of the men from their starvation experiment. Sixteen of the 36 subjects attended.
All of those present at this gathering agreed that the experiment was the most impactful single experience of their lives. They all continue to be advocates for human service programs, including concerns about world hunger, and promoters of justice and peacemaking.

Of various forms, from the mere sandal (q.v.) to the complete covering of the foot. The word so rendered (A.V.) in Deut. 33:25, _min'al_, "a bar," is derived from a root meaning "to bolt" or "shut fast," and hence a fastness or fortress. The verse has accordingly been rendered "iron and brass shall be thy fortress," or, as in the Revised Version, "thy bars [marg., "shoes"] shall be iron and brass."

Kobe MVP mission was entertaining, just like All-Star Game should be
Feb 21, 2011, 2:08 AM EDT
It was obvious Kobe Bryant was going hard after the MVP three minutes into the game.
That's when, with the score tied just 6-6, Kobe got the ball in the right corner, drove baseline on Derrick Rose, the help defense was late and he went up-and-under for the kind of reverse jam he probably hasn't done in a game in years. Many years.
"You could tell he started out from the start, he wanted to get the MVP," Amar'e Stoudemire said of Kobe. "He was not passing the ball at all."
Kobe looked energized — he had five dunks in the game and good luck remembering the last time he did that — and admitted later he wanted to put on a show for the hometown fans. He finished with 37 and flirted with the record for most All-Star Game points (44 by Wilt Chamberlain).
Elsewhere LeBron James had a triple double (29 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists — the only other guy to do that in the All-Star Game was Michael Jordan). Amar'e Stoudemire was flying in and throwing it down to the tune of 29 points. Everybody was looking to lob to Blake Griffin. Kevin Durant dropped 34 including the dagger three late (on an actual Kobe pass in the clutch, so you knew it was an exhibition).
The West won the 2011 All-Star Game 148-143, but nobody will remember the score. They will remember Kobe got his fourth All-Star MVP award (tied for most ever). They'll remember his dunks. They'll remember LeBron's all-around game and Stoudemire's dunks. They'll remember Rihanna and Kanye at halftime. They'll remember it was close at the end.
They'll remember it was fun.
Which is exactly what it should be — an entertaining exhibition with some fond memories for later.
That drives some people crazy. They want it to feel like a regular season game — you know, with defense. Maybe some set plays in the half court rather than transition and isolation. A little teamwork. Some off the ball movement. They want to change the All-Star Game to make it mean something.
There are plenty of games that matter. There are plenty of meals, we need a little dessert. There should be a time and a place for the best athletes go just have fun and show their skills off. There's a time to let them pretend they are on the playground and show off a little.
Some have suggested the NBA do what baseball does — have the conference that wins the All-Star Game get to be home team for the Finals.
"And just discount the 82 regular season games an just base it all on one game?" Kobe asked about that idea. "No, I think it's fine the way it is. You can't take it over the top with seriousness and all that."
Same thing with the idea the NHL went with this season — name a couple captains and let them pick their team from the guys lined up on the wall. While that certainly is playground I'm not sure that works as well in basketball (especially when you think of the influence that agents and shoe companies and the like would try to exert over the process).
Don't mess with what works. The game got a little competitive in the fourth quarter, and that added to the fun. The game was not clean, but energetic through the end. Well, Kobe wasn't energetic at the end — "Those dunks took my legs from me" — but Durant was knocking down threes and they were able to get enough stops on LeBron and Stoudemire for the West to win.
Is the NBA All-Star Game some cotton candy in the middle of the season? Yes. So what? Sometimes cotton candy is pretty damn tasty.

"You could tell he started out from the start, he wanted to get the MVP," Amar'e Stoudemire said of Kobe. "He was not passing the ball at all."
There's been talk recently about Kobe's "black hole" status. How bad is it? Is he really the most selfish guard in the game? Here's a new way of looking at it:

text: Mobile Facebook Home is following Microsoft in putting you and your friends first April 7, 2013 1:05 PM Dylan Tweney 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Facebook describes its new Android app suite, Facebook Home, as "a new way to organize the information on your phone." That's what Facebook product director Adam Mosseri told VentureBeat earlier this week. He's right, to a point: The interface is novel. But the idea of putting the information you care about most (pictures from your friends, Facebook updates, chat bubbles) right on your phone's home screen and lock screen? Well, that isn't new. Its most immediate antecedent is Windows Phone 8, which added a customizable lock screen, including the ability to show photos from your Facebook feed, in October, 2012. Above: Microsoft's Kin One and Kin Two were a commercial disaster, but showed the way for Windows Phone and Facebook Home.Image Credit: Microsoft In fact, Windows Phone has been organized around this principle since version 7, its modern overhaul. And before that, it was preceded by social-centric experiments Microsoft conducted with its ill-fated Kin phones, which were a commercial and critical disaster, but prefigured the company's interest in putting social media front and center. Android and iOS are centered on small app icons, with optional small "badges" that show a tidbit of information about the app, such as the number of unread email message. By contrast, Windows Phone 7 and 8 are organized around app tiles, which give more room to the app's content. Instead of an icon showing a skeuomorphic picture of a desk calendar, Windows Phone's calendar appear appears as a big rectangle, with most of the real estate given to showing the details of your next upcoming appointment. That user-centric orientation made Windows Phone remarkably fun to use, in my experience. (At least until I got fed up with Nokia's dysfunctional hardware and AT&T's miserable policies.) Pulling out my phone and turning it on was no longer an exercise in getting some specific task done. It was a mini-surprise every time: Each time I took the phone out there was some new tidbit of information from my life or photo from the people I cared about. I don't want to overstate the significance of this change. It's really only a tap or two from the home screen icon to the full Facebook feed in your Facebook app, no matter what phone OS you're using. So it's not going to make an enormous difference to the experience of using Facebook: It's likely to be more or less the same on Android, iOS, Windows Phone, or Facebook Home phones. But I suspect it will make the experience of using the phone subtly different, making it more and more into your primary hub for experiencing your social network. On Windows Phone, that could mean Skype, Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. In the case of Facebook Home, that means Facebook, full stop. If this is the future of phone OS design, and I think it is, then Facebook has just made an early and smart move. It has staked out a user-centric POV and associated it closely with its own network and brand. Either that or it has just made its own version of the Microsoft Kin. Facebook Home screenshot via Facebook. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

More flying solo on tax returns; do-it-yourself gets easier, cheaper
The office light now burns late each night at 7520 Capital Drive in Germantown, but not because of any cleanup crew.
CPA Mark McBryde must either file tax returns or deadline extensions for 500-600 clients by the April 15 deadline, which falls on Thursday.
"I've been trying to go home about 11 each night, get some sleep and come back," McBryde said.
The accountant makes a living by tackling our shared legal/financial deadline that causes so many so much stress.
His tax-filing business is up this year, but that's not the case for H&R Block. The behemoth tax-preparer blamed the recession and high unemployment for an 8.2 percent decline in the number of returns it handled through Feb. 15.
More citizens are saving money by preparing their own returns, H&R Block officials indicated.
Do-it-yourself filings may never have been simpler or inexpensive.
The IRS Web site, IRS.gov, offers free access to electronic filing software -- "Free File" -- to taxpayers with incomes of $57,000 or less.
E-filing is steadily catching on with Tennesseans.
In the 2008 tax season, the state's taxpayers had e-filed 475,734 returns by April 3 from personal computers, according to the IRS.
In 2009, Tennesseans had e-filed 556,069 returns by April 2 from personal computers, a 16.9 percent increase.
By this April 1, the IRS had received 598,621 e-file returns from Tennesseans' personal computers, a 7.7 percent hike.
Even taxpayers who earn more than $57,000 a year can gain free access to tax-filing software. For example, taxact.com offers the basic service at no cost.
Procrastinators, of course, can get a six-month reprieve by filing for an extension. But they still must file the Form 4868 request by Thursday.
About 187,000 Tennesseans are expected to seek extensions this year, about 10 million taxpayers nationwide.
However, if those seeking extensions owe money to the government, they still must pay, or arrange to pay, by Thursday.
The IRS does offer payment options that include an installment plan.
Some of those expecting their usual refund this year may receive an unpleasant surprise.
The IRS last year adjusted the withholding table to take less out of employees' paychecks each payday.
One might not have noticed so much the, say, $20 extra per check. But the cumulative effect will get taxpayers' attention when they don't receive the refund some have come to expect, McBryde said.
"Now they are having to pay because the withholding is less during the year, which comes as quite a shock to some people," he said.

Gaming, Reviews
I'm sure by now many of you are familiar with Sumo, we have reviewed their SumoSac Sultan and Omni bean bag chairs. They have released yet another cool bean bag chair called the Chief Rocker. The Chief Rocker is a lot like the Omni Plus, which is a hybrid of the SumoSac and Omni. The thing that sets the Chief Rocker apart is that it has a metal frame that sits it on an angle for great gaming or lounging around. Let's take the Chief Rocker for a spin and see if it lives up to the hype.

We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Professional Ratings: 94 Australian Wine Companion, 90 The Wine Advocate
Region: Margaret River, Australia
Varietal: Chardonnay
Other Info: Screw Cap Wines
Style: Rich & Creamy
Alcohol By Volume: 14%
Item no. 120662
The nose is vibrant and concentrated with aromas of pear, hand picked peach and lime. Beneath lie layers of lemon curd and fig. Lifted frangipani, subtle cinnamon and peanut brittle provide further complexity. The palate is delicately textured with pear, ruby grapefruit and white peach. Hints of wild honey and cashew add complexity to a palate which exudes balanced weight and persistent length. An excellent vintage of Prelude Vineyards Chardonnay from Leeuwin Estate.
Bright, light straw-green; the bouquet is quite complex, the palate wonderfully elegant and smooth, yet not forfeiting the complexity of the bouquet, with creamy cashew notes as well as the white stone fruit base.
From estate vineyards, the 2009 Prelude Vineyards Chardonnay was barrel fermented in French barriques and aged for 9 months on lees. The nose is ripe and intense, revealing notes of pink guava, melon and pineapple over cedar, preserved ginger and a whiff of mandarin peel. Full bodied, the concentrated layers of tropical flavors are nicely offset by refreshing acidity, and it has a pleasantly creamy texture. It finishes long and toasty.

I ride my bike through New England winters and by the end, my drivetrain is completely destroyed. The cost to purchase this product (cranks, chainrings and BB) is the cost to replace just the chainring from my local bike shop. Such an economical deal.

Free DLC? Nice! A whole new menu of glitches? Not so much.
Free downloadable content is always a welcome addition, for the most part. Outlaws to the end is a fairly substantial package adding a whole new set of multiplayer options to help you rack up the experience points to those benevolent Legend ranks. It would be a perfect package, if not for the army of Trojans that sneak their way in aswell.
Red Dead Redemption was full of quirky glitches and bugs already and made the multiplayer, at times, almost unplayable. Ever since this DLC release however, it's really starting to narrow down your chances of getting a smooth run through the online world of Red Dead. But for now I'll focus on just why Outlaws to The End could have been a really appreciative bonus of content to an already hefty game.
OtTE gives you six extra cooperative missions as well as a handful of trophies and an absolute horde of new multiplayer challenges too. To access the missions you're to simple select it like any other playlist off the game modes menu, directed from freeroam. The six different missions are all varied enough with each missions either borrowing from one of the already established Hideouts from the multiplayer free-roam, or even some of the scenarios from the main storyline, now with more detail dived in to give your objectives more worth and of course a lot more length to them as well.
With up to four players maximum, you'll be sailing across the Mexican rivers on a raft, similar to the escapades of John and Irish just as they make their way to Mexico. You'll be raiding gang hideouts ala free-roam, but now with a great deal more turrets and cannons conveniently (or inconveniently) placed around to help give the environments a more fresh look to how you'll proceed. There's even different classes you can choose between before each mission to give you different weapon loadouts too. (You can't bring your own collection of unlocked weapons in the standard cooperative missions though the Advanced mode adds in all your weapons as an extra class to select)
Each missions may probably take up around 20-30 minutes on your first go, and with a huge assortment of challenges to root for - and not to mention the migraine inducing Advanced cooperative missions playlist - to stretch this DLC alot more than most might expect. The difficulty of it all is also much more than some simple hideout, which most can smoothly solo through. While they are still very doable with just two players, maximum success is definitely more likely with a full squad. You won't respawn when you die for example, instead requiring a team mate to revive, and will otherwise have to wait for a checkpoint to get an automatic respawn. If all players die too, it's back to the beginning. It has a learning curve that much is certain, but overall it gives a really tense and fun challenge that the multiplayer hideouts wouldn't ever match.
But then there's the glitches. Oh, the glitches...
Fortunately for me the cooperative missions themselves have worked well enough besides the occasional nuisance of being stuck in a loading screen. Though I have heard of people claiming the cooperative missions are what really took the brunt of the damage to the multiplayer. For me it was mostly through freeroam, with countless errors bugs all throughout. One such offender would have all players become invisible yet would still appear on my map. What's worse is that this infamous glitch now sporadically appears in the PVP modes aswell.
It's been a different tale for most, though everyone has plenty of reason to complain about the trojan glitches this DLC brought along with it. I wouldn't absolutely condemn this pack however, since if you're lucky you could at least have yourself with some damn fun cooperative missions, and free roam still works fine in a Private Mode at least.
With that said though, it's an insult to have a game not improve with its errors and bugs, but actually worsen through extra content. If this was priced I'd mark the score even lower, but because of what lies behind all the smoke, invisible kills and ghost walls, there is some really fun content that gives a great alternative to the PVP and hideout spamming.

I had been sitting in a coffee shop (free WiFi) in Savannah when some guy walks in and heads straight for me. "Is that your Panigale outside?" :) He also rode and happened to be a professor of art history at one of Savannah's art schools. He also worked on a Red Bull art/motorcycle project. Honda used to have the slogan, "You meet the nicest people on a Honda." I keep thinking the same about my experience with Ducati, only I substitute "most interesting" for "nicest". In any case, I start picking his brain about the south and he recommended (strongly) that I hit up Barber. Sure, why not--what's a few hundred miles.
So that's how I ended up at Barber. And it was completely worth it. Barber houses a collection of over 1200 motorcycles and racing cars. It's the largest motorcycle museum in the world and also houses the largest collection of Lotus race cars. Unfortunately not all are on display at the same time, but from the pictures you can tell there is definitely no shortage of eye candy.
I gasped a few times during my visit--most notably at the Britten and the Supermono (the latter blew my mind when I first saw it at Laguna during the early 90s at the GP).

Ekiti PDP: A divided house
Ekiti State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is in a fix. Before the recent congress, it was polarized into three factions. Now, the outcome of the cngress has deepened the intra-party crisis, reports Correspondent Sulaiman Salawudeen.
Ekiti State Peoples Democratic Party is battling with protracted crisis. Although a new state executive committee was elected at its recent congress in Ado-Ekiti, the exercise failed to unite the three factions. The factions are led by the Southwest PDP leader, Mr. Segun Oni, Minister of Police Affairs, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade, and former Governor Ayodele Fayose. The three leaders are locked in a battle for supremacy in the party.
At the congress, Mr. Makanjuola Ogundipe was elected as the new party chairman. But after the exercise, a party chieftain, Mr. Akin Omole objected to the exercise, claiming that he is the authentic chairman.Ogundipe is a member of Fayose's faction. Omole is an active supporter of Oni.
The warring leaders had presented candidates for the various party offices ahead of the congress. However, Olubolade and Oni lost out. The two failed to enlist popular support for their respective chairmanship aspirants. Since Fayose's candidate emerged as the chairman, the two camps have not shown the readiness to cooperate with the new executive committee. For example, the new exco complained that it had become difficult for it to resume at the party secretariat, owing to lack of plans for official handover.
Last year, PDP elders had pleaded with Fayose to return to base, after about three years of firing salvos to the fold from outside. A delegation comprising former Deputy Governor Paul Alabi had appealed to him and other aggrieved members who had dumped the party to return, with a promise to accord them their rightful position in the chapter.
The party elders reasoned that Fayose could assist in lifting the spirit of the party and reversing its dwindled fortunes. It was believed that the former governor's populist inclinations could become an asset during electioneering. Others recalled that, when the party was done in 2001, Fayose was among the new stalwarts who lifted the chapter from the dungeon.
One of the banes of Ekiti PDP is the absence of a top leader who command overwhelming support. Thus, reconciliation was short-lived. Before Fayose's return to the party, Olubolade and Oni camps, which were pre-occupied with the choice of candidate for the 2014 governorship elections, were scheming to discredit one another.Party members who worshipped at the feat of the minister believed that he was the main arrowhead because he could distribute resources. However, prominent PDP chieftains who served under the defunct Oni Administration remained loyal to their former boss. While supporters of Olubolade perceived Oni as a liability, having lost power, thereby exposing the party to ridicule, Oni's men saw Olubolade as a defector coming to reap where he did not sow, unlike Oni, who, as a founding member, laboured for the party during difficult times.
Supporters of Oni are also not happy that Olubolade took the shine off the deposed governor during the last presidential campaigns. In their view, Oni should have been made minister, instead of the retired naval officer.During the electioneering, President Goodluck Jonathan was inundated with complaints that Ekiti PDP was a divided house threatening to fall. Worried by the discord, he had appealed to the chieftains to close rank and work for collective interest Oni's camp openly canvassed against Olubolade's bid to become minister immediately after the elections, despite the latter's substantive post as a minister of state.
However, things appeared to look bright for the party lately when, just two days before the ward congresses across the State, the minister summoned a meeting of the stakeholders in Ado-Ekiti. At the meeting were Fayose, Ropo Adesanya, Mrs. Fatima Raji-Rasaki and Alabi. The second day, at another meeting held at Ipoti-Ekiti, which was attended by Fayose, Alabi, Oni, Chief Dayo Okondo and former Deputy Governor Abiodun Aluko, the party leaders promised to work for unity.
However, the meeting never achieved the objective of unity and harmony.
While die-hard loyalists, including Senator Clement Awoyelu, former state chairman of the party, Chief Ropo Adesanya, Chief Yinka Akerele, Okondo believe that Oni should be the overall leader, Chief Alabi, former Minister of State for Energy (Gas), Mr Tunde Odusina, Aluko, and Dr Jimi Oke believe that only Olubolade is better placed to assure that role.
The minister, who had an edge as the party's representative in Abuja, had been instructed by the national leadership to rebuild the party. In discharging that role, he said: "PDP problem is not that of Olubolade, Segun Oni or that of Ayo Fayose alone, but that of every member. We have a lot of talents in our party and if these talents are harnessed, we will surely come back to power in the coming election".
However, with the selection of Oni as the zonal leader, the role reverted back to the former governor. Yet, as he took off as the national vice chairman, he is assailed by the fact that the Ekiti PDP exco has not been cast in his own image. Now, Oni's faction, led by Barr. Akin Omole, has gone ahead to form a parallel exco, claiming to be the authentic state executive committee. War has broken out between the duly elected chairman, Mr. Makanjuola Ogundipe and Omole, and there is no end in sight to the intrigue.
