Chapter 1
Get on the Fast Track!
Each progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand mediocre minds appointed to guard the past.
—Maurice Maeterlinck
What if you could lose 3 to 8 pounds in a single day?
What if that nearly instant weight loss made you feel lighter, freer, cleaner, and more energized?
What if that one day of weight loss could help jump-start a long-term weight-loss plan? What if that single day began a healing, cleansing, revitalizing process, raising your awareness of the poisons that pollute our environment and purging your body of the toxins that set you up for weight gain, fatigue, and a host of deadly, debilitating diseases?
Well, that single day is here. It's called the Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet. It's safe. It feels terrific. And it works.
A One-Day Miracle Diet:
Too Good to Be True?
Who doesn't like quick fixes and magic bullets? They're the reason that weight-loss products promising instant results have become a multibillion-dollar industry that's growing every year. The fact that most of these trendy diets don't work, don't last, and often put us at risk for serious health problems seems less important to many desperate dieters than the glittering promises these plans make.
As a nutritional maverick, I have always bucked the system Yet for more than twenty years, even I believed that there's no such thing as a magic bullet—although my internationally best-selling Fat Flush Plan has certainly come close! Throughout my hands-on experience with thousands of patients and clients in the public health arena (including a stint as the chief nutritionist for the pediatric clinic at New York City's Bellevue Hospital) and in the private sector (several years as the director of nutrition at the Pritikin Longevity Center in Santa Monica, California), I've always advocated long-term lifestyle changes, avoiding the one-shot answers that seem so popular in the weight-loss world. Although many diet gurus preached the gospel of exercising more and eating less, of cutting out fats, or—more recently—of eliminating carbs, I've always understood that our bodies and metabolisms are too complex for such simple solutions.
When I introduced my two-week program in Beyond Pritikin nearly two decades ago and then brought out a more extensive version of that diet in The Fat Flush Plan, I helped revolutionize weight loss by introducing the concept of detox to the diet world. Years before Atkins, South Beach, and the Zone, I predicted that the low-fat, high-carb diets so popular in the 1980s were actually creating weight gain, sugar cravings, fatigue, and diabetes—health concerns that have taken on epidemic proportions today. I was the first to point out the importance of the essential fatty acids for weight loss as well as for overall health and beauty, a recurring theme in my two dozen books. My millions of readers around the world, and the millions more who visit my Web site (www.fasttrackdetox.com), have always known that they can count on me for sound, well-researched nutritional advice based on both real-life experience and scientific evidence.
Then, in November 2003, Woman's World magazine came to me with an unusual request. They wanted a one-day juice fast, the recipe for a special brew that would enable readers to quickly lose 3 to 5 pounds so they could fit into that special outfit or take off that holiday weight.
A fast can be a terrific weight-loss method because during a fast, the primary source of fuel for the cells is fat. Of course, I'd known for years that an improperly done fast can actually sabotage weight loss by disrupting your metabolism. The wrong kind of fasting can also threaten your health by stressing your liver, clogging your colon, and flooding your bloodstream with the oil-soluble toxins that your body had been storing in its fat.
On the other hand, a fast done right—with your body prepared for fasting and properly supported during the regime—can flush the accumulated toxins from your cells, accelerate your weight loss, cleanse your body, and combat the effects of aging. Periodic fasting of this type can clear up skin conditions, boost your energy, and put a sparkle in your eyes.
Moreover, a properly done fast offers you a chance to detoxify your body. A body overloaded with toxins and pollutants suffers from a weakened immune system, a stressed-out liver, and, in all probability, a malfunctioning colon. Such "toxic" bodies are far more vulnerable to disorders great and small, ranging from colds, flu, and fatigue to arthritis, asthma, and allergies--all the way up to autoimmune conditions, heart disease, and cancer. In other words, properly done fasting is the missing link to better health.
And fasting and detox have one more benefit, perhaps the most dramatic and the least well-known of all. Fasting is the missing link to long-term weight loss. That's because detox and weight loss go hand in hand. So the more toxic your body becomes, the more difficulty you will have losing weight and keeping it off.
Weight Loss and Toxicity:
The Missing Link
The connection between weight loss and toxicity is so important, I'll say it again: The more toxic your body becomes, the more difficulty you'll have losing weight. Does that sound like an extreme statement? Then consider for a moment the "obesity epidemic" that you've no doubt read about. We now know that more than sixty diseases have been linked to obesity. More than 80 percent of Americans are overweight, while at least 30 percent of U.S. adults are obese—and close to 20 million children. Think of it—a whopping eight out of ten Americans face a weight gain that might literally kill them by setting them up for diabetes, heart disease, and other deadly conditions.
Now recall the almost daily warnings about the growing amount of pollutants, toxins, and synthetic chemicals in our food, water, and air. The use of pesticides alone has doubled every ten years since 1945. Every day, corporations, cars, and homes release 700,000 tons of pollution into our air. Farmers spray seventy-two different pesticides on our fruits and veggies. Our cows and sheep are injected with estrogens to fatten them up and then stuffed with pesticide-laden grains to satisfy their artificial hunger.
Well, I'm here to tell you that there's a connection. Based on my twenty years as a practicing nutritionist, I see a clear link between rising levels of obesity and the fact that most of us are becoming more toxic every year.
1. Our bodies are staggering under the enormous load of industrial toxins that have entered our food, water, and environment—and these toxins are making us fat. First, we ingest the hormone-laden foods meant to fatten up cattle and sheep for market. Then our hormones are further disrupted by the pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and heavy metals that these poor animals consume with their feed. Finally, our poor polluted planet bombards us with new toxic invaders every day, from the methyl mercury in our fish, to the solvents in our acrylic nails, to the rocket fuel, of all things, that has seeped into the groundwater of twenty-two states. These toxins are in our homes, our workplace, our cosmetics, and our food. They're deadly to our health and disastrous for our weight.
2. Most of us eat far less fiber than we need and consume far more sugar, refined flour, saturated fats, and protein than we should. In this toxic era, we need fiber more than ever, to help us neutralize the toxins and scrub them out of our system. A diet rich in whole grains, legumes, fruits, and fresh vegetables offers us plenty of fiber—but how many of us eat that way? We're more likely to consume fatty, sugary, and floury foods or to go on the low-carb, low-fiber diets like Atkins and South Beach. Previous generations of Americans ate twenty to thirty grams of fiber per day. Our current average has dropped to less than twelve. So the food we eat sits in our colons for weeks, months, even years, where it slowly putrefies, bloating our stomachs and poisoning our bodies. Our poor, overloaded livers are supposed to detoxify our bodies, but they can't keep up with this toxic challenge. They do the best they can, but how can they properly metabolize fat when they're assaulted by this daily dose of toxins? Once again, we gain weight.
3. Low-carb diets are adding new stresses to our liver, colon, and entire digestive system. Some people can lose weight on low-carb diets—I'll be the first to admit it. But the long-term consequences of low-carb diets can be disastrous for both health and long-term weight loss. First, low-carb diets like Atkins and South Beach steer dieters toward high-protein foods like beef, chicken, fish, and pork—the very foods simply loaded with the toxins we've just discussed. Then they urge dieters to avoid the fiber-rich fruits and vegetables that might help purify and eliminate those toxins. Finally, they load us up with so many proteins that we can't produce enough stomach acid to digest them all. Stress, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and poor eating habits have already deprived most Americans of the stomach acid we need. So we end up with an acid reflux epidemic while the undigested meat and cheese rots right there in our gut, overloading our liver and intestines with such poisons as indican, ammonia, cadaverine, and histidine. And—you guessed it—our weight continues to rise.
Clearly, we Americans are sorely in need of both diet and detox—a safe, effective way to lose weight based on supporting our livers and colons. Maybe, I thought, the one-day weight-loss miracle that Woman's World had requested would allow me to kill two birds with one stone. With the right fast, dieters could lose significant amounts of weight virtually overnight, and they could also take advantage of fasting's age-old ability to cleanse and purify our bodies. A one-day fast would give both men and women a sense of how satisfying good nutrition and cellular cleansing can be. People who successfully completed a properly done fast might even move on to long-term lifestyle changes.
The key would be to develop a fast that provided dieters with adequate nutritional support, particularly for their livers and colons—our major detox organs. So I drew on my years of research, writing, and counseling to come up with a plan. The results were astounding.
The One-Day Detox Diet:
A Proven System
First, the one-day fast I developed did indeed achieve immediate weight-loss results. Woman's World readers reported losing 3, 4, even 5 pounds in a single day. The special "miracle juice" I created for dieters to drink while they fasted successfully staved off hunger pangs, maintained metabolism, and provided the nutritional backup fasters need to support their livers and colons.
But my fast went far beyond simple weight loss. It also allowed dieters to taste the delights of detox, the enormous health benefits we can achieve by ridding our bodies of the toxins that bog them down.
Sure enough, the first people who tried my fast reported quick weight loss, no hunger, and vastly increased energy. As they told Woman's World:
My stomach wasn't bloated anymore. Within a few hours of starting, a friend told me my face looked thinner.
—Jackie Neal, thirty-two; lost 3.5 pounds
Now my favorite black pants are loose in the waist and hips. I've never had results like this before!
—Maureen MacArthur, thirty-six, a mother of three; lost 4 pounds
The day I did it, I was wearing a pair of drawstring pants. By the end of the day, they were practically falling off . . . I did it on the weekend, when I normally sit around and watch TV. Instead, I cleaned my whole apartment.
—Anastasia Signoretta, twenty-seven; lost 3.5 pounds
Thrilled by these responses, I posted the Woman's World article on my Web site (www.annlouise.com), where it's not unusual to get more than 30,000 visitors in a single day. Suddenly, I was deluged with feedback. Dozens of dieters wrote me about their success on the one-day program, how they were losing pounds gained during travel or the holidays, how they could finally fit into that special size 8 dress or skinny pantsuit, how they were breaking through their dieting plateaus. They told me they felt lighter, cleaner, more energized. Some of them even told me they had started having better sex!
I heard both from my veteran Fat Flushers who wanted to shed some extra weight and from new dieters looking to ease into a healthier lifestyle. Some of the newbies told me that, indeed, my One-Day Diet had enabled them to make a new commitment to healthy eating for the first time in their lives, thanks to these impressive, instant results.
Here, I realized, was the opportunity I'd been seeking for a long time—a chance to combine my lifelong commitment to detoxification with an innovative approach to weight loss. Here was the next wave of health and healing, the missing link that could help women lose weight, regain their vitality, and glow with good health.
So I expanded the Woman's World plan, creating an entirely new way to combine weight loss and detox. This book is the result.
Losing Weight, Gaining Energy
As I started to come up with an improved and expanded version of Fast Track, I believed that my new plan would continue to offer the dramatic benefits that Woman's World readers had experienced with the earlier program. But like any good clinician, I wanted to test my hypothesis. So I shared this developing detox program with my own Fat Flushers as well as with more than 100 dieters in Syracuse, New York, under the guidance of a registered dietitian. The Syracuse group was composed of men and women ages sixteen to seventy, all of whom had struggled for a long time with weight loss and healthy eating.
And the program worked! In fact, the results were even better than my initial estimates, causing me to revise my prediction of the upper limit of one-day weight loss from 5 pounds to 8 pounds.
Most striking was the experience of Michael Pankhurst, a fifty-eight-year-old who had struggled with his weight throughout his life. Before starting the one-day fast, he pronounced himself "dubious." But by the end of the day, his doubts had vanished with his fat.
"I lost eight pounds," he enthused. "My mental clarity during the day was greatly improved. So was my energy level, despite a preexisting throat condition. And I wasn't even hungry. I think I will try to do it frequently, to boost mental clarity and weight loss."
As Michael discovered, the benefits of the One-Day Detox Diet went far beyond weight. Other dieters experienced the same lightness, energy, and mental clarity that the Woman's World dieters had felt. They also reported that the Fast Track got them back on track for healthy eating, enabled them to shed extra holiday and vacation pounds, and helped them break their dieting plateaus. They were impressed with their greater alertness, glowing skin, sparkling eyes, and toned, tight feeling. Many of them told me that they wanted to make the Fast Track a special ritual or a regular part of their routine—once a month or during the change of season—to regain that cleansed, energized feeling and sense of emotional and physical well-being. (And some of them, too, reported better sex after cleansing!)
I also noticed that some of the Syracuse fasters experienced some symptoms—headache, irritability, fatigue—that I knew resulted from caffeine addiction and insufficient liver support from their previous diet. With what I learned from their experience, I went on to design that expanded, fully supportive program that you see in this book.

Air cooling perfected.
This review is from: Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Pros: OC a 6core to 4.7ghz on air and doesn't sound like a jet engine.
Cons: Huge! (but it fits into a Fractal Mini with a few millimeters to spare)
Other Thoughts: It's big... really big and a bit delicate due to its weight. There's a reason for that. It's one of the best if not the best air cooler I have used in multiple OC'd systems. Really, the best thing about it is it's so easy to clean. Take off the fans and draw a pipe cleaner through the vanes; spray some air and vac the dust. Poof, like new.

to the yo-yo who compared it to corsair h100
This review is from: Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Pros: this is by far the Best CPU cooler i ever used.
Cons: My con is that your upset because a passive fan cooler is only 2 c lower than a Corsair H100 water block cooler.
Other Thoughts: you dont get what this thing is made for, you invest one time and it works for years flawlessly.

Great Cooling solution.
This review is from: Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Pros: Silent, cold, reliable and easy to mount.
Cons: Beige.... this fans are as ugly as you can imagine.
Other Thoughts: If you actually buy this piece of heaven on earth, be sure to cable all your motherboard BEFORE you put the actual radiator (not the mount) on top of the cpu. Its huge and will make your wire placement a living hell

Pros: The install is not that bad people having issues might have a different setup that might make it difficult. ASUS Z87-PRO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 in a Corsair Obsidian Series Black 550D Mid Tower
Cons: Non so far maybe a bit on the big size

Love the fans, heatsink and mounting assembly - NO THANKS, tldr: destined for the junk bin
This review is from: Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Pros: Fans are best in class. Decent temps, I suppose - comparative to H80I, IMHO much better bang for buck(even with the corsair being more pricey). Quiet. Can be used as a weapon?
Cons: Sheesh where to begin?
Other Thoughts: My recommendation? Stay far away from this product for cpu cooling and buy a Corsair closed-loop system especially if avoiding case space creep and/or difficult installs. I have not tried other brands but have heard good things as well. Noctua has so far let me down in the heatsink department. I will continue to buy their fans and speak nothing but the best of them, in fact the H80I that is going back in this puppy's place will be provided cooling by them. Maybe that's why the reviews are so glowing for this "experiment" in how much space a cpu cooler can take up.

Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
This review is from: Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Pros: Great Cooling
Cons: For the AMD Crowd this Cooler might be a bust you " HAVE " to have a Backplate for this CPU or you cannot install it period.
Other Thoughts: While this model provides a back plate for the Intel Sockets. Why doesn't they have one for AMD? As of right now I cannot install my New CPU cooler cause I do not have any screws to mount this with my motherboard backplate.

Next best thing to water cooling
This review is from: Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Pros: This is keeping my CPU at 19C at idle after running at 70 % CPU usage for several hours max temp was only at 38C. it was easy to install.
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: I knew it was big when I picked this out. But I don't think anyone realizes how much of a monster this really is until it arrives. Had to remove the two case fans on the lid of my case to get the lid to close. Covers all the ram slots on my Maximus VIII Ranger mobo so I will have to remove it if I want to add or switch out the ram. But thankfully I did not have to remove the heat spreaders on my GSkill ram for this to fit as I have seen in other comments

Noctua Performs and Stays Quiet
This review is from: Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Pros: We have the "C" version of this cooler which lays flat so that the fans are blowing downwards so they cool the voltage regulators and other components clustered around the cpu. Anyway, it's nearly identical to the "D" version here. For 2 years it has been cooling an old heat monster, namely the ol' 130-watt Core i7-965EE. Set up in an inexpensive Antec 200 case with 2 x 120mm front intake fans spinning at approx. 750rpm (half speed?) and a 120mm rear exhaust fan at 1200rpm, the Noctua keeps the Core i7-965EE cores idling at 32 C. - 36 C. Under load of, say, a full hour of intense gaming the temps. range from 54 C. - 58 C.
Cons: Whether you choose the horizontal orientation "C" model or the stand-up "D" model beware of them partially overhanging one or more of your RAM memory slots. Try to choose RAM without tall heat sinks (or use pliers to snip off the top of the protruding heatsink so it fits under the Noctua!)
Other Thoughts: Basically, this full-size Noctua cpu cooler is the gold standard that other brands aspire to, and with good reason. It performs very well and runs very quietly. After 2 years of running 16 to 18 hours per day, our Noctua is as quiet as the day it was installed and cpu temps. are as cool as ever. If you buy a water-cooling cpu cooler that performs as well or better than the Noctua you will find that it probably costs more than the Noctua and is noticeably louder. All this makes the Noctua hard to beat.

In Joyner's eight years with the program, the Beach has claimed two Big West regular season championships and two Big West Tournament titles. He has also been a part of all four of LBSU's NCAA Tournament teams.
Last year, Joyner helped the 49ers post a winning record for the fifth consecutive season. They finished third in the Big West and advanced to the conference tournament finals for the fourth time during his tenure. The Beach racked up the postseason awards, claiming four of the major Big West honors as Taylor Nelson was named the league's defensive player of the year, Mimi Rangel the midfielder of the year, Ashton McKeown the goalkeeper of the year and Ashley Gonzales the freshman of the year. The quartet also received All-Big West accolades, along with Jessica Vincent, who was selected to the all-freshman team. In addition, Nelson, Rangel, McKeown and Gonzales received NSCAA All-West Region honors, while Gonzales was also a Soccer America Freshman All-American.
In 2013, the 49ers went 8-7-3 overall and picked up big wins over nationally-ranked Texas Tech (No. 23) and BYU (No. 11). Mimi Rangel was tabbed the Big West Freshman of the Year, while she was also a first-team all-conference selection. Taylor Nelson joined Rangel on the All-Big West First Team, and Elizabeth Lyons garnered second-team recognition. In addition, Rangel and Mimi Akaogi were named to Big West All-Freshman Team.
In 2012, Joyner's first year as associate head coach, Long Beach State earned its third-straight NCAA Tournament berth. LBSU, which went 12-8-0 overall, received an at-large selection after finishing fifth in the Big West.
Four years ago, Joyner helped the Beach reach new heights as the 2011 squad won its second consecutive conference tournament and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight, the furthest that any Big West team has gone in the postseason. Long Beach State, which was 18-6-1 overall, shattered the school record for wins (18), goals (49), assists (52) and points (150). Nadia Link was named a third-team All-American and the Big West Offensive Player of the Year, while Shawna Gordon earned Big West Midfielder of the Year honors. Four other 49ers garnered all-conference recognition.
In 2010, the team claimed its first Big West Tournament title and earned the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. LBSU closed out the campaign with an overall record of 14-6-2. Seven 49ers were selected to the All-Big West team, while Lindsay Bullock garnered midfielder of the year honors.
Joyner was also a volunteer assistant at Long Beach State in 2005, 2006 and 2008. In 2008, the Beach claimed its third consecutive Big West Conference regular season title and made its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
In his first two years at LBSU (2005-06), the squad twice set school records for victories, winning 12 games in 2005, before topping that with 14 wins and the program's first-ever Big West championship in 2006. In both seasons, Long Beach State was nationally ranked for the first time in school history.
Joyner had previously spent five years as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Cal State Dominguez Hills. His first year with the men's program resulted in an NCAA Division II National Championship, before he coached the women's squad from 2001-04.
Joyner played for CSUDH in 1999, after transferring from Harbor Junior College where he was a two-time All-South Coast selection. Joyner prepped at South Torrance High School, where he was a two-time all-league pick and an All-CIF honoree as a senior. He earned his bachelor's degree in economics in 2001.
Joyner resides in Long Beach with his wife, Tiffany. The couple has a daughter, Kennedy, and a son, Declan.

The purpose of the workshop is to prepare faculty/instructors to teach LBEE.
The LBEE course is targeted to graduate and upper level undergraduate engineering students providing hands-on learning about commercial building energy efficiency. The course can be adapted to be taught to a more generalist student body or to those in technical programs at 2 year institutions. Penn State is offering a free 3-day workshop at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia May 23-25, 2016 for higher education faculty and instructors interested in teaching LBEE at their institutions. This is a great opportunity to engage college students in a hands-on curriculum in which they gain the capabilities to conduct basic energy assessments of campus buildings as well as other facilities in their communities. Stipends are available for those traveling from more than 100 miles from Philadelphia.

In recent years the purification and/or pre-concentration of radionuclides before the measurement has grown increasing interest in analytical chemistry. In this study, a new compact and portable stand-alone equipment permitting automatisation of various separation tasks is developed. The new system allows performing quick and reliable automated separation of the selected radionuclide. Since there is no need for permanent manual control of the separation procedures (automatic loading of the sample, washing and stripping solution on the column are controlled via a computer program) the system can be operated overnight. The new system posses the possibility of more variable control for the separation process via new developed user-friendly software, is shielded against the chemical vapors and could be universally equipped with any available chromatographic column. For the automated separation of U, Pu and Am isotopes (achieved recoveries were in the range of 65–95 %, depending on the element separated. The data, presented, show that the application of the module should be also straightforward for other elements: simply by changing the chromatographic columns with the resin having high chemical selectivity for the target ion. The developed separation column module, software and hardware can be readily adapted in any laboratory to meet defined analytical requirements.

This post is inspired by and a response to Tynan's Creators and Assemblers article:
For a long time I thought creating came from construction - the physical application of materials to form an object of value. I thought that in order for me to consider myself a creative individual, I would have to learn carpentry, electronics, coding… Because the way I saw it, there's only three careers a person can have.
First is to perform a service. Like a lawyer who shares his legal advice, or a dentist who cleans teeth. It takes a long time to develop the skills to become professional, and I don't have time to look that far in advance. So this leaves only two options: building a product, or to buy and resell products.
Buying and reselling is a great way to make money. Resellers find things low in price and people willing to pay a higher price. Basically, he is the connection between the buyer and the seller. I wouldn't mind doing this - its a legitimate way to make money, but I can't shake the thought that the buyers and sellers don't actually need middlemen if they can find each other.
I know that I want to identify myself as a creator.
A person who builds a product is what everyone considers a creator or assembler. This requires envisioning the final product, and crafting it to perfection. Society however, focuses too much on the technical aspect - the crafting…the coding, the engineering, the wiring, the hammering and nailing. But the entire technical aspect of this is only a small portion of what it means to create. Being a creator has everything to do with having a vision, and executing that vision. It doesn't matter who-what-when-where-how the creator chooses to executes his vision as long as the final product is what he intended it to be.
I don't have to be the one to personally craft the product, as long as the product was my vision, I'm the creator.
"It doesn't matter who-what-when-where-how the creator chooses to executes his vision as long as the final product is what he intended it to be. "
Take a company like Skype. They weren't the first voice over IP company. Not even within the first 10. They just did the who-what-when-where-how better than their competitors. When it comes to big ideas, there are usually a lot of people who have the idea and the one who's best at executing it wins.
Ideas are a dime a dozen.
"I don't have to be the one to personally craft the product, as long as the product was my vision, I'm the creator."
Famous words of the Winklevoss twins when they hired Mark Zuckerberg.
If you tell someone who is into personal improvement that you compare yourself with others, his kneejerk reaction will be to tell you not to. This advice comes with no contemplation, and is offered because it sounds so noble that no one argues with it-- except for me. I think that it's valuable to compare yourself with others, if it's done habitually and strategically.
On a daily basis I internally compare myself to people less fortunate than myself as a way of remembering how incredibly lucky I am. I'd like to think that I'm responsible for the good in my life, but at the same time I know that if I was born in Liberia when it was caught in civil war, my life would have been far worse. While some comparisons may serve to pat myself on the back, mostly I gain appreciation for the opportunities that have been presented to me, and am reminded how important it is to seize them.
This is the only way in which I compare myself to those I don't envy. I don't rest on my laurels because I feel as though I've exceeded some people's accomplishments in some areas. I filter out those comparisons, and only derive gratitude.
My head obsesses. I get songs stuck in my head so badly that I have to leave the room when "I'm On A Boat" comes on, and anyone who tries to troll me by singing "Party in the USA" gets warned and then ferociously tickled. (It's self-defense.) I don't like watching TV shows and have to limit movies because the scenes and plots continue to play in my head for days afterward, displacing the top idea in my mind.
The most interesting case of this is the Tetris effect. This where you do a repetitive activity so much that it takes over your subconscious, visually superimposing its patterns over your life. It's most noticeable when you're falling asleep. Tetris addicts would turn things they see into tetrominos, and their brains would be playing Tetris as they slept.
I have it bad. I've had the Tetris effect not only with all sorts of video games, but with things like coding, typing Dvorak, fixing grammar mistakes, responding to emails, hiking, tweaking CSS, and designing particle effects. Up until this week, though, it had only been visual, perhaps with some motor component.
It turns out I can get auditory Tetris effect, too. I had just spent the entire day strategizing about CodeCombat with George and Scott, talking startups with other Y Combinator companies, and listening to the YC partners dispense wisdom. As I was falling asleep, I heard a perfect Markov chain generator produce a conversation between Paul Graham, George, and Generic Startup Founder, complete with voices and appropriate verbal mannerisms, that went something like this:

If you look at the above from Equifax.com, there is a "Status" field which is sayingAYS 31-60 DAYS and there is an activity designator and it lists: Activity Designatoraid and Closed . The account history table shows there was on 30 day past due in Mar of 2009. The definition of the status field according to Equifax is: The condition of the account when last updated by creditor or otherwise. When I closed this account in June and the status changed from Current to PAYS 31-60 DAYS, I got a myFICO alert telling me my score had dropped (>70 points) and when I ran the report it said I had a recent late pay in the last month... I haven't had any kind of late pay in years.... this has to be the cause and if that is the case, I would advise anyone who has an old late on an account to not pay it early because FICO (my other scoring models did not do this) treats it as if you recently were late... I could have just as easily just kept paying the payments for another 2 years and not had this plummet my credit right before my refi....ugh

Feb. 6, 2014
Tournament CentralCHICAGO – The UIC softball team is set to begin its 2014 season this weekend when it co-hosts the inaugural Total Control Sports Invitational with Loyola at the Dome in Rosemont, Ill. The three-day tournament gets underway on Friday with the Flames facing Eastern Illinois at 1 p.m. CT."We have been practicing for three and a half weeks and we are ready to compete," sixth-year head coach Michelle Venturella said. "We have such good depth this year and we are really excited to see how everything comes together. The coaching staff always talks about how we have this puzzle and all these pieces, and we have to figure out where they go. The group is giving us tough decisions already in preseason so we are ready to go."The Total Control Sports Invitational will serve as the first of five tournaments the Flames will compete in prior to beginning league play on March 22. Over the next six weeks, UIC will travel to the UCF/Holiday Inn Classic, Jacksonville Tournament, San Diego Classic and Hoosier Classic and will be challenged by top teams from across the country."We are really fortunate to have the support to go to different places," added Venturella. "The strength of schedule is awesome because we want to prepare ourselves to be champions every year in the Horizon League, and because we have these opportunities to play conferences that are stronger than us, it's great."The Flames are coming off a season that put them at the top of the Horizon League in the regular season, but the Flames have bigger plans moving forward."We have talked about exceeding any goals we have had and we have put the mark out there that we want to win 40 games," Venturella said. "It's a lofty goal with our schedule, and with our conference, and we know it's going to be challenging, but we want this team to be better than anyone has been in recent years. I can't think of a better way than to match it up with the celebration that's going to happen this spring with the 20th anniversary of our 1994 World Series team."Last season, UIC graduated six standouts and will be looking toward this year's group of 11 returners, particularly its seniors in Jacki Fletcher, Courtney Heeley, Natalie Hernandez and Jenna Marsalli, to guide the team on and off the field. Hernandez was named to the All-Horizon League First Team in 2013, alongside sophomore Laura Swan, while Fletcher was selected to the First-Team All-Region."Our returners are solid and I am so excited for them, especially our four seniors,' said Venturella. "They have done a tremendous job for us, but they are really taking over a lot of those leadership roles that I feel are necessary to win championships. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do on the field, but the expectations are going to be high."UIC additionally boasts eight newcomers with freshmen Elaine Heflin (P/UTL), Kelly Kennedy (IF), Rachel May (IF), Kaleigh Nagle (UTL) and Savannah Soppet (UTL), DePaul transfers Amanda Mener (OF) and Paige Peterson (IF), and Michigan transfer Alice Fitzpatrick (P/UTL)."Our newcomers have really come in and filled some holes," Venturella added. "This is the largest roster we have had in a few years and we have the most depth in pitching that we have had since I have been here. The freshmen that have come in are pounding their way into trying to make that starting lineup and it's really great to see what they're going to offer."This weekend's tournament will be the first of its kind during Venturella's tenure with the Flames. UIC is one of eight teams competing and will go head-to-head with Eastern Illinois, Illinois, Central Michigan, Loyola and Western Illinois."We are very excited about hosting at the Dome this weekend," said Venturella. "The competition that is coming in is tremendous and to play in the Dome, 30 minutes away, and have our fans see us start the season is something we haven't had in the past, so we are very much looking forward to that tomorrow."

The EPA's existence was largely due to the American policy of encouraging "free" trade unionism in Western Europe during the Cold War. The Moody Amendment was one of the more spectacular elements of this policy, which had consequences both for the institutional framework of the EPA and for its activities. Several attempts were made to transform the EPA into a tripartite organization, and some indeed considered it a "joint 'management labor-government' organisation."2 Moreover, an important part of its program was devoted to strengthening non-communist trade unions.
After World War II, the US devoted a great deal of energy on influencing Western European trade unions. The aim was short-term political, to fight communist and other radical influences in the labor movement through the strengthening of the "free" trade unions. The long-term goal was to promote attitudes among labor deemed more favorable to political and social stabilization in Western Europe. The anticommunist purpose of the American policy involved a wide range of activities such as covert CIA financed attempts at splitting existing trade unions, excluding communists from certain factories and assistance to non-communist trade unions.3 The main targets of this policy were France and Italy, which both had strong communist parties. American trade unions were closely associated with their country's policy towards European labor and came to play an important role in backing non-communist factions in the European trade union movement. They were integrated into the organizational framework of the ECA, through the nomination of trade unionists as ECA officials, mostly labor attachés.4 Paul Hoffman paid tribute to their role when he declared that it had "been due largely to the support of American labor that most European workers

vtravelled Weekly Round-up w/c 19th September
This week's round-up is an all-American affair, with new winter-sun flights to the California desert, scenic state-traversing train trips through national parks and mountain landscapes and a bunch of fantastic one-day walking itineraries through New York's most fascinating enclaves. It's all about planes, trains and… feet.
Palm Springs: winter desert retreat
First up, who'd like some winter sun in the desert? Virgin America have announced new flights to Hollywood's playground and California's capital of mid-century cool, Palm Springs, a city famous for hosting the international jet set since the late 1920s. Frank Sinatra lived here (notably at his Twin Palms Estate house - you can even rent it for a Rat Pack style break), as did Bob Hope, Cary Grant and Al Jolson, and during the 1940s - 1960s it became a haven for modernist architects practicing the mid-century modern style, leaving an unparalleled architectural legacy. For a completely authentic experience, book a stay in the renovated mid century Ace Hotel.
Virgin America's direct flights will leave from San Francisco and there will also be a flight from New York with a quick stop in San Francisco too (no need to get off). If you're especially decisive, some amazing sale fares are available if you book today. Flights begin on the 15th December.
America by train
Now, we're a long haul airline but that doesn't mean we don't enjoy sitting back and watching the world whizz by at ground level too, and we love this National Geographic article on North America's Top 10 Train Trips. In fact, we can't think of many better ways to see the United States than by taking the California Zephyr from Chicago to Emeryville (just the other side of San Francisco bay). Take a look at all the places you'll get to see as you pass through seven states: the Rocky Mountains, the canyons of the Colorado river, desert landscapes in Utah and Nevada, and the Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada mountains are just the highlights.
Alternatively, take the Ethan Allen Express from New York to Vermont - a five and a half hour trip that traverses the Hudson River Valley, passes through upstate New York's Catskills range and into the Vermont wilderness, finishing in the town of Rutland. With autumn just around the corner, this is the perfect time to book to experience New England's famous fall foliage.
Urban exploring
If all these wide open spaces make you want to beat a retreat back to the nearest crowded subway station or favourite coffee shop, then those heading to the Big Apple will want to get their hands on Time Out's New York Neighbourhoods one-day itineraries guide. For really informative, well-structured itineraries with stops at quirky, unexpected places, they're the best we've seen in a long time.
Spend a day getting under the skin of hipper-than-thou Williamsburg, Brooklyn and finish up by taking in a flick at the Nitehawk Cinema. Visit offbeat galleries and spot street art on a wander through the East Village, followed by cocktails at Amor y Amargo, or see a different side of the Financial District with a peek at Frank Gehry's towering New York building, a stroll through the British Garden and an al fresco beer with fab Brooklyn Bridge views at the Beekman Beer Garden Beach Club.

anyone been? is it nice? is it open all day? :unsure:
No, it's not open all day and I found that very odd. It's plunk out in the middle of the upper floor walkway, too. :unsure: (Well, to the wall side). It's not large at all.
If you want sushi on Disney property, head to Puck's on the West Side. It's made properly, right there in front of you...
ooo will have a look at the menu, thanksQuote:

Oooh! I did not know this! I shall have to try them out!!Quote:

They do a very nice job, actually. (And we all know how fussy Ol' Tink is). :yes: They'll even use rice paper if you don't like the seaweed wrapper (I do, but I know some folks just can't stand the taste of it).
So you can get sushi and not be in the main restaurant? :unsure:
Do I need to book?
I would. Or go at an off time. I'm not certain they take reservations for the sushi bar, but I'd give it a go, just to be sure.

Men's Volleyball Picked Fifth In 2012 EIVA Preseason Poll
With several returning starters and a talented incoming class that could feature as many as three starters during league play, the Princeton men's volleyball team was picked to finish fifth in the 2012 EIVA preseason poll, which is voted on by the league coaches.
The Tigers are coming off two seasons that varied dramatically, and they'll be certainly looking for a season closer to the 2010 one. In the first year of head coach Sam Shweisky, Princeton went 15-10 and earned the second seed in the EIVA playoffs. The Tigers knocked off George Mason in the conference semifinal to reach its first championship match since 1998; Princeton led eventual NCAA finalist Penn State for much of the opening set before falling in a hard-fought 3-0 match.
The script flipped last season, as Princeton lost the close matches it once won and ended with a 3-19 record. The Tigers finished seventh in the division and missed out on the postseason.
With the return of starters Scott Liljestrom (senior setter), Michael Dye (junior middle), Jeff Stapleton (sophomore outside) and Davis Waddell (sophomore rightside), Princeton will be looking to get back into the postseason. That will be more challenging this season, as the postseason field has gone from eight to four with the new EIVA configuration. Instead of two divisions, the conference will have all eight Division I programs in one division (see teams in the preseason poll below).
Shweisky, the 2010 EIVA Coach of the Year, is especially excited to see how his freshman class integrates with the team.
1. Penn State (7)
2. George Mason (11)
3. Sacred Heart (21)
4. Saint Francis (22)
5. Princeton (24)
6. Harvard (30)
8. Rutgers-Newark (41)

Google Drive is one of most powerful tool yet ignored by many. Google Drive offers you a free 5GB online storage. The story does not end here. Along with storage you get access to your office files via Google Docs. Google provides rich features only for on one requirement and that is a Gmail Account. So if you had ignored Google Drive before just have a look on what you can do with it. I am here writing this guide on Slide Rocket. An easy to use but powerful online presentation tool. To use Google service you just need an internet connection. All your content lies inside Cloud storage. I had worked for hours by booting a system from Linux Mint 12 Live Disc and edited my documents. Google Drive takes the process of keeping your data. Independent to most format you can directly view them only. Then why to rely on softwares. Sky Rocket is an online presentation tool which provides you a basic interface to create your presentation. There is no need to add up bulky animation or effects. Create a simple presentation, shared with your friends via Google Drive and view them any browser you have. Any presentation created in Sky Rocket is saved inside Google Drive. Along with creating presentation you can also download the same in .ppt and .pdf format. So lets begin with creating a short online presentation. There is a pro version of this product available which will cost you $24 per user per month. The process starts with your Gmail account. Go Gmail and login with your Gmail id and password. The next thing you need to do is click on Drive button at top .After click on that you can see your Google Drive which is almost similar to Gmail. On the left side there are two icons. One is Create and second is Upload. You can download Google Drive on your desktop. It is just a short application which creates a sync folder on your pc.. When you drag files inside that, it is automatically uploaded on web. So to begin with the same you have to first open Google Drive. Once done click on Create > More > Get More Apps. When click on that you will be redirected to Google Chrome Web Store. Inside that browser Windows click on Slide Rocket > Install.
Once it is installed you can see Slide Rocket in above list. Click on it. The first window will be small agreement box. Read that carefully and then accept all. Then Next Window that will appear is the Default Template Box.
Check the above screen. This template box is divided into 4 parts. First the center one which shows you the list of templates that you can choose to create a ready presentation and second one is aspect ratio. The aspect ratio helps you to manage the presentation size. Choose the most suitable one as per your choice and click on Ok. The third part is the name of presentation. By default Slide Rocket assign the same as My Presentation. And the last part is Create New Theme. When you click on this can generate your own theme for presentation by adding up images and colors. Lets stick with the default one. For sample I am creating a dummy presentation by choosing Chalkboard Template. Click on the template and then click on OK.
The next screen will be the presentation Window that will help you to edit and make changes as per your need. I will one by one explain each and every part so that you can understand what all features it provides. Lets begin with the menu bar. According to me the menu that I created provides all the required features to build up a simple online presentation.

The Property Box on the left side helps you to create a interactive presentation. You can add a text, image, video, plugins, etc to make your presentation more interactive. It is very important to find all the elements of Property box. Check the image below. This is how the property box looks. When you click on on picture or audio or text a library window appears. In that you need to first upload some photos. There is a Import Media Button on the to side. You just need to click on that and upload your media files.
Elements of Property box:

The presentations are saved in the Dashboard.

Re: UP,Re: Prostate Cancer - Consider Proton Therapy Treatments
It's great to have you back UBUP!
Thanks for posting this superb information! DH's dad had prostate cancer but no one in his family is familiar with this treatment. Thanks for making it easier for folks to research and learn about appropriate and helpful options.
Most of all, thanks for bringing your great personality back to the forums! And glad you got to work on your golf swing while you were in the midst of everything else.
