Strategic Budgeting:
Risk Management Principles Can Help DHS Allocate Resources to Highest Priorities
GAO-05-824T: Published: Jun 29, 2005. Publicly Released: Jun 29, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3610
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Previous GAO work has outlined the nation's growing fiscal imbalance and called for a fundamental reexamination of the base of the federal government. The significant resources directed to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) indicate that a robust homeland security program is viewed as critical to the protection and prosperity of Americans. This testimony addresses the need for a fundamental reexamination of the base of government, the role that performance budgeting tools can play in helping inform agency activities, and DHS's use of performance budgeting and risk management concepts. It also includes examples from GAO work on homeland security issues that highlight DHS attempts to define an acceptable and achievable level of risk.
The nation faces a long-term fiscal imbalance, and the role of the federal government is being reshaped by many forces, such as evolving defense and homeland security policies and new organizational and institutional arrangements for carrying out public activities. Given these circumstances, there is a critical need for the federal government to reexamine the base of its programs, policies, functions, and activities. A periodic reexamination of major federal spending and tax policies offers the prospect for the American government to eliminate outmoded operations and better align its operations with the demands of a changing world. The management and performance reforms enacted by Congress in the past 15 years have provided new tools to support this kind of reexamination. However, these new tools must be implemented by agencies and used by the Congress in its decision making in order to be effective. Performance budgeting can help policymakers address important questions about whether and how programs contribute to their stated goals. It can help enhance the government's capacity to assess competing claims for federal dollars by arming decision makers with better information on the results of individual programs, as well as on various federal policies and programs addressing common goals. Performance budgeting, however, cannot provide answers to every resource question--particularly where allocation is a function of competing values and interests that depend on factors other than program performance. Congress and the President have agreed on DHS's mission, and DHS has established strategic objectives for achieving its mission. However, DHS's strategic plan does not detail the associated resources necessary to carry out its mission and achieve its strategic goals. DHS has called for using risk-based approaches to prioritize its resource investments regarding critical infrastructure, and for developing plans and allocating resources in a way that balance security and freedom. It must carefully weigh the benefit of homeland security endeavors and allocate resources where the benefit of reducing risk is worth the additional cost. A comprehensive risk management framework--which includes an assessment of risk through threat, vulnerability, and criticality assessments--should be applied to guide these decisions. DHS has not completed a comprehensive national threat and risk assessment. However, some components of DHS have taken initial steps to apply elements of risk management to its operations and decision making. For example, the Coast Guard has taken actions to assess and mitigate vulnerabilities in order to enhance maritime security, and the Transportation Security Administration has conducted vulnerability assessments at selected general aviation airports. Congress and agencies have a shared responsibility for ensuring that performance budgeting and risk management approaches are both useful and used.

The Sun-Times has updated its story on Reid's calls to Rod Blagojevich with this statement from Harry Reid:
Gov. Blagojevich appears to be trying to distract attention from his daunting legal problems and damaged credibility by distorting information about private phone calls between himself and other public officials. It is regrettable and reprehensible.
Gov. Blagojevich's efforts to try to tarnish others while the cloud of suspicion continues to grow over him are shameful, as are his efforts to further betray the public trust and sow seeds of division. As each day passes it becomes increasingly clear that Gov. Blagojevich is not fit to lead, and he should resign.
I will not allow his corruption charges or his antics to distract me from leading the Senate, to drive a wedge in our party or to obscure the facts. [my emphasis]
(Reid just accused Blago of lying about it on MTP, as well.)
I'm fascinated not only by Reid's decision to respond to what he apparently believes is a Blago leak, but by his accusation that Blago is lying. That's because it means there are now three different versions about whether or not Jesse Jackson Jr. was acceptable to Obama and Reid.
Recall that, several weeks ago, someone leaked to the Trib details of Rahm's discussions with Blago about "acceptable" candidates for the Senate seat. That list rather notably did not include JJJ.
Emanuel delivered a list of candidates who would be "acceptable" to Obama, the source said. On the list were Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, Illinois Veterans Affairs director Tammy Duckworth, state Comptroller Dan Hynes and U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Chicago, the source said. All are Democrats.
Sometime after the election, Emanuel called Harris back to add the name of Democratic Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan to the approved list, the source said.
In fact, except for Jarrett, that list did not include any African-American candidates.
But that's not who Rahm says was on the list.
Between the time that Mr. Emanuel decided to accept the position of Chief of Staff in the White House and December 8, 2008, Mr. Emanuel had about four telephone conversations with John Harris, Chief of Staff to the Governor, on the subject of the Senate seat. In these conversations, Mr. Emanuel and Mr. Harris discussed the merits of potential candidates and the strategic benefit that each candidate would bring to the Senate seat. After Ms. Jarrett removed herself from consideration, Mr. Emanuel – with the authorization of the President-Elect – gave Mr. Harris the names of four individuals whom the President-Elect considered to be highly qualified: Dan Hynes, Tammy Duckworth, Congresswoman Schakowsky and Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. In later telephone conversations, Mr. Emanuel – also with the President-Elect's approval – presented other names of qualified candidates to Mr. Harris including Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Ms. Cheryle Jackson. [my emphasis]
The Trib's sources say JJJ and Cheryle Jackson were not on the list, Rahm says they were.
Now look at the context for Reid's purported list from the Sun-Times story.
Blagojevich spokesman Lucio Guerrero confirmed that Reid (D-Nev.) and U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) — the new chief of the Senate Democratic political operation — each called Blagojevich's campaign office separately Dec. 3. Sources believe that at least portions of the phone conversations are on tape.
Before their contacts, Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel called Blagojevich to tell him to expect to hear from Senate leadership because they were pushing against Jackson and others, according to statements the governor made to others.
The Reid-Menendez calls came a day before a Dec. 4 conversation overheard on government wiretaps where Blagojevich says he "was getting 'a lot of pressure' not to appoint Candidate 5." Candidate 5 is Jackson.
The story paints a chronology in which Rahm calls Blago some time on or before December 3, then Reid and Menendez call Blago on December 3, and finally, Blago has the following conversation on December 4.
ROD BLAGOJEVICH told Fundraiser A to tell Individual D that Senate Candidate 5 was very much a realistic candidate for the open Senate seat, but that ROD BLAGOJEVICH was getting "a lot of pressure" not to appoint Senate Candidate 5. ROD BLAGOJEVICH told Fundraiser A to tell Individual D that ROD BLAGOJEVICH had a problem with Senate Candidate 5 just promising to help ROD BLAGOJEVICH because ROD BLAGOJEVICH had a prior bad experience with Senate Candidate 5 not keeping his word. ROD BLAGOJEVICH told Fundraiser A to tell Individual D that if Senate Candidate 5 is going to be chosen to fill the Senate seat "some of this stuffs gotta start happening now . . .right now. . . and we gotta see it. You understand?" ROD BLAGOJEVICH told Fundraiser A that "you gotta be careful how you express that and assume everybody's listening, the whole world is listening. You hear me?"
The Sun-Times doesn't note it, but the claim that Blago was getting "a lot of pressure" not to appoint JJJ was part of his pitch to one of JJJ's donors for a quid pro quo pertaining to JJJ's appointment to the seat. Remember, too, that Blago was demonstrably leaking information about who was and was not a leading candidate in an attempt to drum up urgency among potential players in the Senate seat sale, as when he leaked the "news" that Madigan was rising in consideration to Michael Sneed. This raises the possibility that Blago's claim that he was getting a lot of pressure was a lie, intended (like the Madigan leak) to increase the sense of urgency among JJJ's donors who–remarkably enough–had a fund-raiser scheduled for that weekend. The complaint does not say whether Blago really was getting a lot of pressure or not, but Blago also said, twice, on December 4 that he was elevating JJJ in consideration because he thought he could get money for the seat.
On December 4, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH spoke to Advisor B and informed Advisor B that he was giving Senate Candidate 5 greater consideration for the Senate seat because, among other reasons, if ROD BLAGOJEVICH ran for re-election Senate Candidate 5 would "raise[] money" for ROD BLAGOJEVICH, although ROD BLAGOJEVICH said he might "get some (money) up front, maybe" from Senate Candidate 5 to insure Senate Candidate 5 kept his promise about raising money for ROD BLAGOJEVICH.
Later on December 4, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH spoke to Fundraiser A. ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated he was "elevating" Senate Candidate 5 on the list of candidates for the open Senate seat. ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated he might be able to cut a deal with Senate Candidate 5 that provided ROD BLAGOJEVICH with something "tangible up front."
In other words, Blago was claiming he was getting a lot of pressure, but that would have been before he even gave JJJ serious consideration. Blago may or may not have been, but his claim is tied directly to negotiations that allegedly involved the sale of the Senate seat for $1.5 million.
Also note the discrepancy between the Sun-Times' latest version of discussions–in which Rahm purportedly spoke directly to Blago around December 3–and the Obama report, which states that Rahm only spoke to Blago about the Senate seat twice (at most), both times in early November. That Sun-Times version, though, is sourced to "statements the governor made to others," which seems to parallel Blago's claims that he was getting a lot of pressure–which may or may not have been invented.
Now, frankly, I don't know what to make of these three contradictory stories. Blago's sources appear to claim that neither Obama nor Reid supported a JJJ candidacy. Obama's version clearly states he did. And Reid won't tell his version (saying he doesn't remember it), but he states clearly that Blago's version is false.
But I find it really telling that, first of all, Blago is shamelessly race-baiting in his efforts to successfully appoint Burris to the Senate seat, and, at the same time, he claims neither Obama nor Reid supported African-Americans for the Senate seat (except for Jarrett). At the same time, the question of whether or not Blago really was being pressured not to appoint JJJ may inflect the interpretation of the recorded conversations about Blago's intent to appoint JJJ to the Senate seat.
Blago might be telling the truth.
Or, he might be inventing this story to both support his larger attempts to make everyone else (including Obama?) look like racists, and to explain away comments he made in early December that would otherwise seriously incriminate him.

But the fact that your Labrador has had a seizure does not necessarily mean he has epilepsy.
Seizures can occur for other reasons.
What is epilepsy?
Epilepsy is an serious health problem characterised by repeated seizures.
These seizures are caused by abnormalities in the brain. An epileptic dog will have a seizure on more than one occasion.
Epilepsy is therefore a diagnosis that must be made by your veterinary surgeon, after other causes have been ruled out.
What is a seizure?
A seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain that interferes with the normal functioning of the brain and with the way in which the brain controls the body.
What happens during a seizure?
During a seizure the dog collapses and loses consiousness.
He may lose control of his bowels and bladder.
The dog will fall on its side, become stiff and make jerky movements with its legs.
Your Labrador will not be able to hear you or respond to you during a seizure.
Is a seizure painful?
Though they look horrible, seizures are not painful as the dog is unconscious throughout the episode.
What causes seizures?
There are a number of physical changes that can cause a seizure. Lack of oxygen to the brain due to blood loss for example, and diseases in various parts of the body other than the brain. This is not epilepsy.
Sometimes seizures are cause by abnormalities to the brain itself, these abnormalities cause repeated seizures and this is the condition we call epilepsy
What should I do if my dog has a seizure?
If your dog has a brief seizure you need to contact your vet once he has recovered. During the seizure make the dog safe but keep your hands away from the dog's mouth to avoid being bitten and remain calm. Most seizures are over within three minutes (check your watch, it seems much longer when you are watching him in this distressing state)
If the seizure is prolonged (more than five minutes) call your emergency vet straight away.
Is epilepsy inherited?
A familial link has been found in some types of epilepsy and work is ongoing to discover the genes responsible. The Canine Epilepsy Project is a collaborative study currently underway into epilepsy in dogs and their website has information about their progress.
What is the treatment?
Various drugs such as Phenobarbital are used in the treatment of epilepsy, but many dogs will do just as well without treatment at all. It depends on the severity of the dog's condition. You will need to discuss your dog's case with your vet.
Where can I get more information?
Your veterinary surgeon is your first port of call but there is also a great deal of information about canine epilepsy available online.
Canine Epilepsy has some very straightforward and basic advice and guidelines
For some more in depth information and academic articles visit the Epi Guardian Angels website. The link takes you to their site map
There is a Canine Epilepsy Support Group in the UK and you will find their phone number by clicking on the link
How about you? Does your dog have epilepsy? Can you suggest any other sources of information or advice for dog owners faced with this condition for the first time? Please feel free to comment below.

Earlier today, I remarked that the left is unmoved by Israel's protection of the rights of gays and women. It's not simply that Israel isn't hanging gays as they do in Iran, or that it doesn't permit six-year-old girls to be married off; no, it's a modern, inclusive democracy — a fact that seems to escape its critics' notice (especially those on the UN Human Rights Council, whose treatment of women and gays is atrocious). Likewise, the media, even in the face of abundant evidence, is slow to credit Israel for human-rights policies and a nondiscriminatory legal system vastly superior to those of its neighbors.
A case in point: "Israel's Supreme Court has ordered the Jerusalem city government to provide more than $120,000 in funding for a prominent gay community center." The report spins it this way, however: "Thursday's ruling was the latest sign that a hostile climate toward Jerusalem's gay community may be abating." Well, other signs would be that gay Palestinians have fled there. ("According to some estimates, there are now 300 gay Palestinian men secretly living and working in Israel. Their willingness to live there — despite the risk of being detained and deported as a security threat — is due to Palestinian attitudes toward gay men, they claim.") In April this year, Israel took flack from the Catholic Church for allowing a gay-pride parade in Jerusalem. And then there is this:
The right to be openly gay has been acknowledged in the Israeli military since 1993, and there is little evidence that policy has caused any problems. Even beyond the army, Israeli law is generally progressive on issues of sexual orientation. Even though marriage is controlled by the ultra-Orthodox rabbinic establishment, Israeli authorities recognize same-sex marriages performed abroad, and same-sex partners receive the same economic benefits as married couples.
"Out" magazine has named Tel Aviv the gay capital of the Middle East in acknowledgment of its thriving gay culture.
Military expert Levy said the editor of the primary army newspaper, Bamachane, is openly gay. He estimates the percentage of gay soldiers at 10 percent in general and somewhat less in field units.
Former soldier [Eli] Kaplan said certain intelligence and naval units were known for having a large proportion of gay soldiers.
So there have been plenty of "signs" of Israel's tolerance and acceptance of gays, despite the AP's obtuseness. And no, the left in America and the elites of the "international community" don't give a darn about any of that. Why? Because it's the Jewish state and the rules are different.

LEXINGTON – Gov. Steve Beshear Monday announced a major small business initiative that will provide Kentucky's small businesses with access to nearly $155 million in new loans to help with job creation across the state.

The Kentucky Enquirer
SPARTA - The rows of tobacco and corn growing on land across from Kentucky Speedway will be replaced next year by rows of cars.
This week the speedway bought a large tract near Ky. 35 in Gallatin County from Jo Wischer. The 84-year-old Florence resident did not say Thursday how much the speedway paid for the "couple hundred acres," but said she knows how it intends to use the property.
"The speedway will be taking care of parking with it," Wischer said.
State education and public health officials have joined forces to encourage school districts to implement policies that would prohibit the use of tobacco anywhere on school-owned property – 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
A letter from Education Commissioner Terry Holliday and Public Health Commissioner William D. Hacker, M.D., sent to superintendents statewide, encourages districts to pass the policy as "the right thing to do for the health of your schools and communities."
The families of Army National Guard's Alpha Battery 2nd 138th Field Artillery in Carrollton are getting ready for an expected deployment sometime in 2012.

too long
Nice jacket but much too long and I'm 6'4"
It's only 31" long, not really 'too long'. I wish more jackets were this long or longer. If it's short jackets you want, there's plenty of them out there.
wat size did you get??
I'm 6-4 also and I agree with Dakka - wish more jackets were this long. The sleeves actually come down over my wrists and the body comes down below my waist. It does take some getting used to having a jacket actually fit!

Baker also volunteers at Animals of the World in Southern Illinois, helping owner Sherry Roche rescue and place exotic animals. They've rescued a blind wolf with a broken jaw who was confined in a small corncrib in five inches of feces; they've worked undercover with government agencies to catch people who trade in exotics for their pelts and meat. Roche thanks God every time she sees Baker's car pull up, loaded with food, coupons and help.
"It's not easy work -- she could get bitten or catch a virus from the monkeys," says Roche. "Humane Society types just sit around, but Debi's a doer. I can trust her to help rescue the animals or to drive valuable young lions safely to a zoo."
Others give equally impressive testimonials: Carol Perkins, the widow of wildlife expert Marlin Perkins, says she's known Baker for years and deeply admires her dedication to animals.
Breeder Margie Williams says she's never had a problem with Baker: "I've known Debi probably twenty years. She's owned several of my dogs; she's used them in ads. She has a key to my house. I trust her implicitly."
Sara Huggins, a volunteer with the American Service Dog Association, says Baker has helped her find wonderful homes for dogs that didn't qualify for service. She still remembers how Baker rounded up volunteers and an old pink Cadillac convertible for a Dog Days of Summer fundraiser for the ASDA, then sweated in the July sun taking Polaroids of people's dogs and ate her own expenses.
Bebe Petty, who has known Baker for several years, sums up the accolades: "Maybe she's not the greatest businessperson, but she's got the biggest heart in the world."
How, then, did she manage to enrage so many people?
"Animal people are nuts, you know," Baker says drily. "These people have no lives." Then she turns serious:
"I'm very charismatic, I'm high-profile and I'm a workaholic. I was trying to do too many things by myself. A lot of the people who are saying things about me had relationships with me they aren't going to talk about. Some are closeted, and -- I'm no saint -- some of them are married. When I met Marissa, she used to call them 'the groupies.' There would be people at our house, at our business, watching what I was doing 24 hours a day.
"I told her, 'I feel like Jim Jones. These people will not go away!'"
In the past few years, Baker says, she's made new friends who are more honest and stable and better share her vision of helping animals and her long-dreamed-of Rainbow Ranch Project. She and Horton have spent the past six years developing the first two branches: an animal visitation program they still call Paws for Applause (the original was administratively dissolved; this one is unregistered) and a pet-rescue, rehab and placement service called Recycling Rover. They use six foster homes, and these volunteers vouch for their responsible care and deft placement. Baker says she's gotten only three returns in 300 placements.
Now, she and Horton are ready to begin the third and final branch: The Rainbow Ranch Rehabilitation Center, a place where therapists can use rescued animals to help emotionally troubled children.
Their model, Green Chimneys, is a multiservice agency with an annual operating budget of $24 million. The farm budget alone is $600,000, and the facility's programs are accredited with state agencies in New York and Connecticut and registered as three distinct 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporations.
As yet, none of the Rainbow Ranch programs is even registered with the secretary of state.
Baker says they are "currently working on nonprofit [status], although it's not my most important thing, because I'm not profiting off of it." Horton says they've actually filed paperwork with the Internal Revenue Service; later she says it's not quite filed yet, that it's still in the hands of several lawyers. Baker says they're hoping to find a lawyer who will donate time.
Meanwhile, they're talking up the project, and the people who can't yet bring themselves to trust Baker cringe every time they hear the name.
Two years ago, Winged Womyn advertised holiday pet portraits with profits from the reprint orders donated to the three animal charities, one of them the Rainbow Ranch Project. In June, Baker and Horton advertised a yard sale, "all proceeds to benefit the Rainbow Ranch Project" -- but didn't hold it. In May, Horton introduced the project on an Internet discussion list for animal-rescue groups in Missouri, saying, "We are currently working with Eukanuba Pet Foods to secure land in Franklin County."
Fundraising and marketing staff in Eukanuba's national offices hadn't heard of the project. Baker and Horton explain that the negotiations for corporate sponsorship are early and delicate.
They've printed up a brochure that says:
"In the Greater St. Louis area, the Rainbow Ranch is the only animal assisted therapy facility providing hands-on programs geared toward helping humans and animals heal each other."
Granted, it doesn't yet exist.
"The brochure is just spec -- it's not really being handed out," Horton says.
But Nora Donovan, owner of the animal-loving Stella Nora gift shop in Kirkwood, says she got one in the mail. So did dog behaviorist Gary Abelov. And somebody else saw a flier with similar text on a St. Louis Bread Company bulletin board.

Musa Memorial Day Blog Hop–ONE WET SUMMER excerpt with $10 Amazon Gift Card Give-Away
Celebrate the start of summer with my newest contemporary romance ONE WET SUMMER. Available from Musa Publishing May 25, 2012…
Questioning her life plans and risking her heart to the hotelier and his motherless daughter weren't on the vacationing teacher's to do list—funny how things can change in a heartbeat.
Maura Fields loves her uncomplicated, independent, single life, but things quickly change when a summer vacation opens the door to an unexpected world of passion and desire. Wealthy Savannah hotelier Ben Driscoll had his playboy lifestyle upended when his ex-wife died, entrusting him to care for their daughter—a child he sequesters and vows to protect from future heartache and disappointment. Can the wall Ben has built around his heart withstand the assault from the intriguing, beguiling Maura, or will it crumble, leaving him vulnerable to the undeniable attraction and unbridled need to make her his own?
"You better take your shirt off, too." He set down his glass, and she helped him remove his saturated coat. "Oh, you have wine all over your back. Ben, I've ruined your beautiful suit."
"No big deal. I was getting hot anyway." He smiled wickedly. "If I can use your sink, I'll wash it off and head back to my apartment. I have rooms right here at the hotel. I'm sure no one will notice a half-naked man roaming the halls, and if they do, too bad. I own the place, you know."
They both laughed. Maura delighted in his easy going temperament, how he made her feel whatever she did, he'd like. She was sorry to see their date end this way, but accidents happen, and this one might have very well saved her from further impetuosity.
"You know where the bathroom is. Help yourself."
He laid his suit coat on the table and started unbuttoning his shirt. Maura turned away, all of a sudden feeling bashful. How silly, she thought. I have already seen his chest. But that had been at the pool with loads of other people around. Now, they were all alone in her hotel room, only a few feet away from a suddenly imposing bed. He must have recognized her gesture. "I'll take care of this in your bathroom. Excuse me, please." He thoughtfully shut the door so she couldn't be caught watching him.
She sunk onto the bed and shook her head self-derisively. "Way to wreck the mood," she told herself and lay back to stare at the ceiling.
When his phone started beeping from his suit coat pocket, she ran to the table and hastily retrieved it, fearful the expensive phone might be damaged by the spilled wine. She wiped it with a tissue from the ornate box on the bedside table and sat down again on the white duvet. She must have hit the wrong button because a "new text message" alert flashed onto the touch-screen.
New message from Jessica.
Maura blinked hard once, twice, three times. Her stomach tightened apprehensively as she stared at the sender's name. She wouldn't read the message. She wasn't a snoop. Jessica could be anyone, most probably a business associate or an employee, but before she could set the phone down on the bedside table, the message scrolled across the screen.
When will you be home? I can't fall asleep without you.
Maura's stomach clenched as did her fists. Tears stung her eyes, and she blinked hard, willing them away. Her jaw set, and she took a deep, ragged breath.
When Ben came out of the bathroom a minute later, his shirt was on, though it hung loose and open. It was damp and red in places as if he'd been in a fight and had tried to wash blood from it. When he saw the look on Maura's face, his grin faltered then faded. "What's wrong, Maura? I meant it when I said I don't care about the suit. Please don't be angry at yourself. We had such a great time tonight…"
He stopped mid-sentence, midway between the bathroom and Maura's bed, perhaps perceiving something terrible had occurred. "Maura?"
She shot to her feet and thrust his phone out to him as if it were a poisonous snake.

Good luck to you and thank you for being a huge inspiration to me. It is easy for me to say you've been one of, if not my top, favorite teacher – English and elsewhere! Best of luck!

SuccessFit Weight Loss
"The crown jewel is the SuccessFit Trance-formation course. It is going to offer a great deal of positive change, both for my clients and for my own life as well. I am looking forward to the weeks and months ahead and all the benefits I'm sure it will bring. Bravo! Jean C."
Obesogens in food create food addiction but, you can break this cycle of reward/restriction right now, and lose as much weight as your body needs while enjoying healthy and great tasting food!
You will learn how too cook and prepare the foods you are hypnotized to eat with our 90 minute cooking healthy DVD.
(Therapists who invest in this 4-disc SuccesFit Trance-formation program will earn 5 CEU Credits – and have the tools needed to help your clients achieve a healthy weight, naturally.)
This 90 Minute teaching DVD will show you exactly how the food pyramid will make you fat, and how you can easily adapt a new lifestyle of eating without cutting out the foods you love to eat. That's right...you won't have to give up juicy and delicious meats, filling breads or even the almighty dessert!
4 Complete Audio Hypnosis sessions on 2-CDs will reprogram your subconscious mind to break your addiction to obesogens and allow you to live your life to the fullest. The hypnosis sessions also reinforce healthy choices, promote development of new habits and enjoyable exercise or daily activity.
The SuccessFit Kitchen DVD - 14 easy to create, mouth watering recipes for delicious and finger licking food, all made right before your eyes by Richard Nongard. You don't have to know how to cook like Emeril Lagasse to take things up a notch in the kitchen as Richard will show you step-by-step how to prepare each of these easy recipes from the comfort of your home, all shown on video.
Watch this introductory sample video Now!
If you are currently overweight and ready to make a change today, right now is the start of you taking back control of your life. The reason a lot of people fail with losing weight is that they try and see the entire picture before even getting started.
Take a breath and stop thinking about the big picture. Don't think about next year, next month or even tomorrow. Just take that first step, right now and figure out the rest as we travel that road...together.
The SuccessFit Trance-formation Program gives you the information you need to succeed - and provides the knowledge that so many other so called weight loss programs "forget" to include. This program was created so that you won't become one of the 95% who gain ALL the weight back that they lost while they were dieting. When you take the time to invest in yourself by ordering SuccessFit you'll have a trance-formation that is truly life changing!
Guess what?? Diets don't work! Big surprise, huh?
Take a moment and think about someone you may have known or know today who dieted. Did it work for them? Did they keep the weight off? Did they struggle with having to eat foods they hated? Did they suffer massive hunger pains? Maybe you are thinking of your own past attempts at weight loss?!
All a diet does is put you through a lot of wasted time, effort and pain in the long run. Taking away life's pleasures isn't the answer. In the end people who eat less of a bad thing simply die more slowly of dietary diseases.
If you are dieting right now, you could be inviting the grim reaper to stay in your life.
Research shows a high-nutrient eating plan actually reverses dietary related diseases, and these could include hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Diets are just another way the system keeps you addicted, because the moment you stop the diet the weight comes back - because eating food was never the problem. The problem is the combination of a lack of knowledge and habits. SuccessFit provides you the solution.
Obesity can be stopped dead in its tracks...right now! The SuccessFit program will provide you all the tools you need to stop dieting, eat naturally - and take back your life!
For Hypnotherapists:
Ask yourself this question: Do you want to be a hypnotherapist who gives your clients what they want, or do you want to be a hypnotherapist who gives your clients what they need?
SuccessFit provides you the tools to expand your current skillset and make sure each client who comes to you gets results which will change their life forever.
Imagine the amount of referrals your happy clients will send your way ... $$$$!
Hypnotists who know how to use these advanced techniques to break the cycle of food addiction are therapists who move beyond dieting and move on to providing truly helpful interventions.
Overweight and Obese Clients:
The SuccessFit Trance formation Program is a step-by-step system that will show you how to break your food addictions, drop massive pounds, restore your health, and reverse dietary disease.
No seminars, no classes - just you, Richard Nongard, and the comfort of your home.
You can lose weight - and keep it off forever - without dieting! You won't end up as one of the 95% who put all the weight back on and this program will teach you how. Imagine a brand new future where you are able to enjoy every moment of life, fully and complete. It's not a dream... it's your future!
Forget what all the movies have put in your head. Hypnosis isn't some mind control tool.
Hypnosis is first and foremost a very powerful teaching tool that can help you break those self-defeating patterns you have running inside of your mind. You will discover how you can increase your activity and eat healthy without starving yourself or giving up many of the foods you love.
Obesity is more then just being overweight. It's a major factor in depression, anxiety and self-defeating life patterns. If you're not healthy physically, then you're not healthy emotionally.
The mind and the body are connected.
So by changing yourself physically you will be transforming yourself emotionally as well. Successfit will provide you with the tools to manage the many hidden stresses of food addiction and obesity.
You can reverse dietary diseases right now just by making a few very simple changes in the way you eat.
Losing weight doesn't have to be hard.
You can enjoy losing weight. You can enjoy life and most importantly...you can take control of your life right now. Let Certified Hypnotherapist and Licensed Fitness Expert Richard Nongard show you another way which, if you let it, could change your entire world.
90 Minute Step-by-Step instructional DVD teaching what science says works!
** 4 Complete hypnosis audio sessions focusing on breaking addiction to obesogens, and restoring health
** Discover the 5 skills of mindful eating
** Implement strategies that promote lifelong health
Don't let death sneak up on you....
Diets are dangerous and can kill you! Simply eating less of the unhealthy foods we typically eat does nothing more then delay a date with the grim reaper.
You have two choices - Continue living a life with obesity or create a new life without obesity where you can enjoy life, have almost unlimited amounts of energy and still enjoy the foods that make you happy.
Transformation is possible and Richard Nongard will show you how!
Overcome the biggest block to failure - not knowing how to prepare healthy and tasty foods. Richard is as talented as a chef as he is a therapist, and the BONUS DVD includes Richard teaching you how to cook and prepare over 14 healthy recipes - including desert - all demonstrated on video! This video includes breakfast dishes, lunch solutions, healthy but delicious easy to prepare snacks, dinners and side dishes, and scrumptious desert.

Home Sheerness News Article
A third movie has been added to a set of films to be shown on an outdoor screen.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be shown in Beachfields Park, off Royal Road, Sheerness, on September 20 at around 8pm to 8.30pm.
Sheerness Enhancement Association for Leisure announced last week The Lego Movie will be shown on Saturday, August 23 and Grease on Saturday, September 6, at around the same time following the success of its open-air film festival earlier in the year.
The charity has raised enough money through donations from audience members, businesses and advertisers, to put on a third film.
Chairman Chris Foulds said SEAL makes no money from the project as it all goes towards holding more free screenings.
He said: "The community paid for it and it is very important they continue to donate towards it so we can put more of them on."

There is something to be said about cooking over an open fire.
The flavor. The smell. The excitement.
Last Friday we had the pleasure of preparing campfire dinners with our friends at the campground. Never before have I done anything quite like this before in all my days around food. Now the finished product, all be it, didn't look amazing from my photography – the results were delicious!
Everyone inhaled their food and moved on to smores…. again.
- 1 ground beef patty ( you could use whatever you wanted)
- potatoes, sliced
- carrots, sliced
- onions, sliced
- cauliflower, handful
- corn, canned
- 2-3 Tbsp. cream of mushroom soup
- 1 Tbsp. Onion soup mix
- 1 Tsp. Canola oil
- Salt and pepper
- Place two large pieces of tin foil on top of each other. Drizzle a little oil on the top piece.
- Place hamburger patty on bottom. Top with the rest of the vegetables.
- Spoon the cream of mushroom soup and onion soup mix on top.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Wrap and create a pouch.
- Throw on the fire and wait. You will want to flip the pouch every 15-20 mins. The timing will depend on the heat and how close you place them to the fire.
Zesty Tip: Low and slow wins the race. Keep lowering the grates above the fire as the food begins to cook and the wood continues to burn down.
Have a happy Monday and a great start to your week.
Take care
