Positive Displacement Pumps
Whether your are looking for peristaltic pumps, diaphragm pumps or gear pumps: Verder is your specialist for positive displacement pumps!
'Positive displacement pumps' is a collective term for all pumps which operate on the displacement principle. Also "volumetric pumps" is a common term.
Unlike centrifugal pumps, with the volumetric principle the flow rate is independent of the displacement at pressures that will ensure a reliable, reproducible production, which is also advantageous for dosing.
Positive displacement pumps are the first choice for many applications in fluid conveyance and often much better suited than centrifugal pumps.
Positive displacement pumps are the best solution if you need a reliable, low-maintenance pump that generates a reproducible flow, thus contributing to a safe and trouble-free production process.

Frankenfood or Modern Miracle? What Are GMOs?The Hunger Site
With all this talk about GMO's, it's worth taking a moment to explain what exactly makes a food product GMO or not. Essentially, GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) are plants and animals that has had its DNA changed to produce a certain outcome, often helping plants fight off bugs and other potential risks, which in turn ensures a stable yield for farmers.
The problem is that GMOs are largely untested in humans and have been shown to cause cancer in animals. With no labeling on products, the pervasive nature of these modified foods makes them difficult for consumers to spot and avoid.

Carmex Original Carmex Stick Reviews
My fav go-to lip balm!I have been using Carmex for years and this has always been my go-to lip balm, the lip balm that I always come back to after experimenting with a bunch of other lip balms. You can't go wrong with it! It goes on really creamy and it stays that way for a long time, keeping your lips moisturized even after snacking and eating. I like to apply it on top of my lipstick to prevent the lipstick from dryi...read moreng out my lips. Some people don't like the smell because they think it smells like medicine, but Carmex makes this is other scents as well. My favorite scent is strawberry, go give it a try! : — 3 years, 1 month agoLeSucre | 46 reviews

The Stick Just Doesn't Work As Well For Me...As the jar or the tube. Not sure if this is simply my imagination, but I have to reapply the stick much more frequently and do not get the same results as I do when I use Carmex from the jar/tube. It's still an amazing product, but I'd rather get my fingers sticky and have it work more effectively, personally. — 12 months agoSomeGeekyGirl | 116 reviews
Cures Chapped Lips!I use the original twist up stick version, because it's much more convenient to use and more portable than the jar pot. I have chapped, peeling lips most of the year for whatever reason, and I always need a medicated lipbalm in the winter. Carmex is one I always go back to, because it immediately improves the condition of my lips. I also like to use this under lipsticks as a protective base. I actually love the menthol/camphor scent, it's refreshing! — 1 year, 4 months agoAndiPandi | 17 reviews
Awesome!The product is great as far as moisturizing chapped lips is concerned. It has a medicated smell, which I'm not a big fan of. However, if that's not a big deal to anyone, it's a great product! — 2 years, 3 months agomstrishabell | 44 reviews
Great but Not for a DateI love Carmex, and would highly recommend their products to everyone. It keeps my lips in a very healthy condition and gives me a kissable pout. I would recommend wearing around your apartment or at the office, but not on a night out with your beau. Kisses may be less enjoyable because of the taste and the formula may leave his lips feeling tingly. Still love! — 2 years, 4 months agoBlonde_Jovi | 11 reviews
Great for LipsI suffer from very red chapped lips in the winter and have tried so many products. The stick Carmex is the only one that can heal that burning sensation within a few hours. The tube does not seem to work as well for me as this does. I also like that my lips don't get "addicted" to it. When they're chapped I use this, it heals them and I don't have to constantly use this like some products that fe...read moreel you actually get addicted to or your lips wont behave.

Great, effective lip balmIt's just a great lip balm that moisturizes and soothes your lips. It's also superb if your lips tend to get really sore and irritated as the menthol helps to soothe your lips and heal those little cracks. I really like the little "clicking" feature that it has. Don't know why it but it makes it fun to turn the dial. — 2 years, 9 months agoskim | 4 reviews
I'm addictedI"m pretty sure I have a Carmex addiction. I have to keep a tube or a jar stashed in my purse, nightstand, on my bathroom counter, in my desk drawer at work, in my gym bag, and in every room in my house. Don't even get my started about the time I traveled to Italy and accidentally forget to pack my Carmex. It makes my lips smooths and moisturized and I love the way it makes them tingle. Please don't ever stop making Carmex! No other chapstick even comes close. — 3 years, 2 months agoTucsonmom | 18 reviews

Wavy Virgin Weave
- Product Review (submitted on February 27, 2014):
- Wow is all I have to say about this hair. I purchased machine weft wavy hair as my 4th order ever from this company and can tell you that this hair matches my texture perfectly (I have naturally curly hair and found that even when flat-ironed and silky, my natural hair isn't soft enough to match the super silky naturally straight wefts, but of course wavy/curly hair has a rougher texture). Just be careful that you don't bleach the hair because most of the time it appears that the hair has been hennaed (that can't be removed), but that only adds strength and shine to the hair (if it IS hennaed, anyway), so there are no complaints. Thanks again for my lovely hair!

Meet a remarkable gorilla who paints while in captivity, and visit an innovative gorilla orphanage in West Africa. Traditionally, gorillas have been separated in sanitized cells for public safety and viewing. But with few successful gorilla births in captivity, zookeepers took a look at the outdated habitationsand then took action. They discovered that gorillas are group animals, which are unlikely to socialize or breed when isolated in pairs, and responded by developing zoo environments that closely resemble gorilla habitats in the wild. Far from the savage King Kong portrayed in Hollywood movies, you will discover that gorillas are gentle, noble individuals, each with a story to tell. Spanning three continents, The Urban Gorilla will forever change the way you see these magnificent creatures.

Comments about The Urban Gorilla DVD-R:
This DVD was part of my VHS collection and I was very glad to be able to add it to my DVD collection. "The "Urban Gorilla" gives us a view of this master primate that is not usually seen: different from the "in the wild" or "natural habitat" productions, this view is of the gorilla as it was presented to the curious public when most of us were ignorant of primate society and primate social needs. It is truly an eye-opener, both disturbing and uplifting, and is recommended for educational settings as well as family viewing.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fun, warm and festive
Reviewed: 02 December 2013 by Lovehoney - Alice, a Straight Married Female
I saw this costume last year, but didn't manage to snaffle one before it went out of stock. This year I was prepared and got one as soon as it went on sale - and I'm so glad I did!
I absolutely love this. It's festive, flirty and fun. Finally, my Mariah Carey moment!
The dress is adorable, fits well and is excellent quality - worth spending that little bit extra on this, for sure. I did discard the belt as I had one of my own that I thought worked better.
I wore this dress with thick tights and a top underneath for an outdoor event (brrr!) but the long sleeves and hood kept me surprisingly cosy.
The whole costume was cute and could easily be worn to a family-safe event over the Christmas period. I'm only 5'2 so the skirt wasn't too short, on someone taller it might be a bit more risque.
- Pros
- Warm, adorable, can wear it all day!
- Cons
- I used my own belt as I didn't like the black corset belt.
- Bottom line
- Fantastic fun, suitable for costume parties!

Dazzling the enemy:
shields from the Pacific
14 May – 16 August 2009
Exhibition closed
This exhibition explores conflict and social life in the islands of the western Pacific. In particular, it highlights the many remarkable shields used across the region to dazzle and demoralise an enemy both in warfare and ritual.
On display are over forty shields from Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and West Papua. Included is one of the oldest Pacific shields in the world, dating back to 1851, as well as contemporary shields collected in the 1980s. Many of the shields in the exhibition have never been displayed before. Historical and contemporary photographs illustrating the shields in action are also on display.
The exhibition reveals how warriors in the western Pacific were not camouflaged, but how their appearance was itself a form of psychological warfare, designed to daunt opponents. Shields decorated with bold and dazzling designs were a key feature of this strategy to visually intimidate an enemy.

The singer's family alleges promoter AEG Live was negligent in hiring Dr Conrad Murray who was convicted of killing him in 2009.
01:19, UK, Thursday 03 October 2013
A verdict has been reached on whether Michael Jackson's concert promoter was negligent over the hiring of the doctor who killed him.
The decision of the jury of six men and six women following a five-month trial in Los Angeles will be announced later tonight.
Jackson's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against AEG Live in connection with the hiring Dr Conrad Murray before the singer's planned comeback concerts.
The disgraced medic was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for giving Jackson an overdose of the surgical anaesthetic propofol in 2009.
The star had been due to start a series of 50 comeback concerts in London.
Jackson's mother Katherine claimed AEG Live should have done a thorough background check on Murray.
The company denied hiring Murray and said he had been picked by the star as the doctor for his upcoming shows.
The singer's son Prince, ex-wife Debbie Rowe and mother Katherine took the stand during a brutal examination of his life and death.

After ending of Private Practice Season 3, the question about Dell's parentless daughter Betsy is rising on the fans' mind on Private Practice that what happened to her life and whether Dr. Fife will return or not. According to rumors, an entire episode will be dedicated to Betsy so Dr. Fife will be back but later this season Michael Patrick Thornton, who plays as the role of Dr. Fife will be taking a break from Private Practice to do a play. During the Private Practice season premiere, Shonda Rhimes, the Executive producer, confirms that Violet (Amy Brenneman) and Pete (Tim Daly) will get married.
As a gust star, Remar, who starred in the original Broadway production of Bent, will play the role of Gibby, a physician and old friend of Pete, played by Tim Daly. In the season premiere, Stewart will seem as a man named Kevin, who is eager to give a kidney to his estranged brother. However, due to his mental state, he may not be fit to be a donor. Other stars of Private Practice stage veterans include Kate Walsh, Taye Diggs, Audra McDonald, and Amy Brennenman.

Dan Gifford
NSF Fellowship | Galaxy Clusters | Advisor: Chris Miller
PhD Research: Dan Gifford is working with his advisor, Chris Miller, to make the caustic method a more common tool for measuring the mass of galaxy clusters. A currently underused complement to techniques like weak-lensing and measuring the X-ray temperature of a cluster's hot gas, the caustic method relies on the position and relative velocities of a cluster's constituent galaxies. Gifford and Miller are hoping to make the method more accessible to astronomers because of its usefulness in the context of large surveys like the LSST, Dark Energy Survey, and Pan-STARRS. They are aiming to identify a scaling relation between a cluster's mass and its galaxy count that will help astronomers create mass estimates for clusters too distant for the other techniques to be effective.
Why Michigan Astronomy?
Collegiality: "From the first time I visited, I fell in love with the program. The faculty are warm and welcoming, and there's a tight bond among the graduate students. By the time I was here a year, I'd had at least one conversation with every faculty member — and when we give talks, faculty approach us afterward and suggest new dimensions to make our results more useful or accepted. With the grad students, we all work on the same floor, and go to happy hours and film festivals. It's a happy, relaxed department. Grad school is demanding, so that support system is really important."

Wrestling news, rumors, spoilers and results. We are a leading resource for WWE, TNA and everything related to pro wrestling.
By Richard Gray
– Justin Credible noted on his Twitter account that he's been contacted by WWE for work on the WWE Network.
– Wrestling News World reader Logan Walker sent in the embed code for this week's WWE Superstars:
Yeah, because a big name like Justin Credible will really put the WWE Network on the map.
Correction Aldo Montoya was contacted.
Justin Credible worked for the WWE version of ECW
Having Justin Credible work as Aldo Montoya would be like WWE hiring Sean Waltman to work as the 1-2-3 kid. I just want to see The Godfather work as Papa Shango again. Papa Shango vs Boogeyman anyone? Maybe he can put another curse on The Ultimate Warrior – I would pay to see that.
Good for Mr. Polaco. It wasn't too long ago, this guy was one of the top wrestlers in the world…according to the PWI.
Good for Justin, the guy has gone through hell the past few years, and its about dam time he finally gets something from it. If you dont know what this guy went through, then you really dont have a reason to shit on him.
Going through hell for a few years don't entitle you to anything in life.
See, for a generation of people, Justin Credible is a jobber for WWE. But for someone like me who started watching ECW when I was 11 in 1995 and watched religiously every week, waiting for Saturdays to come so i could wait up and watch ECW on MSG at 1:00 am until they shut down, Justin Credible is an icon. His matches, promos, and charisma were as good as anyone in "the big 2". WWE tried to make him somthin he wasnt, but Paul E. let him be himself anf he was REALLY over at a time when ECW fans weren't accepting to new talent. That period of ECW will never be duplicated and this generation is really missing out. If you've never seen ECW Hardcore tv episodes from then go check them out.

For a more healthful approach, focus on detoxing your eating habits rather than your body. Diets that include regular meals (or "eating occasions") and a varied mix of produce, lean protein and healthy fats can jump-start your efforts to slim down and eat better. The hope is that a short-term cleansing diet will encourage you to reduce your dependence on ingredients like sodium in the long run. Two examples of safer plans are the 21-day Quantum Wellness Cleanse, which calls for fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds and soy products as well as lessons in changing the way you think about food, and the three- to 10-day BluePrint Cleanse, which consists of six raw fruit, vegetable and nut juices daily. The nut products are a good source of protein.
For most women, a shorter cleansing plan is easier to follow. That's why More asked Glassman to come up with a three-day detox plan that will encourage more healthful eating habits long after the diet is over. This 1,000-calorie-a-day regimen is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, lean proteins, omega-3 fatty acids and fluids—and is free of added salt, sugar, processed foods and alcohol. (Check with your doctor before following this or any other detox diet.) Bon appétit!
More's Clean-Living Diet
Developed by nutritionist Keri Glassman, RD, this three-day detox plan offers back-to-nature foods while eliminating less healthful ingredients and helps ease you into a more nutritious eating pattern for life.

The long-awaited Nokia Lumia 920 has hit the shelves at AT&T but in case that particular gadget is not really right up your alley, or if you simply don't want to sign up to a contract with the aforementioned carrier, then you may want to consider giving the HTC Windows Phone 8X (aka HTC 8X) a try.
Both the release date and price of this particular WP 8-powered device have been rumored on numerous occasions, so many times that it has been rather difficult to keep track. But, keeping track is not necessary anymore because the handset is now available for purchase at T-Mobile and Verizon. More details below.[Editor: I don't know if Mihai got confused or he just mad a mistake, but all of you should know that the HTC 8X is also available via AT&T. This article tough, is about HTC Windows Phone 8X at Verizon and T-Mobile ]
HTC Windows Phone 8X at Verizon and T-Mobile
We've spotted the 8X on T-Mobile's website back in September but no information came with that rather badly Photoshoped picture. Now however, it's official and the carrier has started offering the device on a two-year contract for the price of $199.99, after a $50 mail-in rebate. It seems that only the California Blue model is available, so in case you'd like another flavor then you might want to consider Big Red (or AT&T).
Speaking of Verizon, the carrier is also offering the HTC Windows Phone 8X for the price of $199.99 on contract (without a rebate), but at this point in time it looks like only the black model is in stock, with the blue and red flavors expected to be shipped by November 19th and 27th respectively.
Verizon's HTC 8X also comes with build-in wireless charging which apparently is a Verizon-exclusive feature, but then again there are other things to consider when choosing your carrier, so it all depends to your needs.
Anyone interested in buying the HTC Windows Phone 8X at T-Mobile or Verizon? If you want to see how it fares against the Lumia 920, feel free to check out a HTC 8X vs Nokia Lumia 920 side-by-side comparison and see what's what.

It's a blessing from God when you meet someone over the internet (about 6 years ago) and your platonic, Christian relationship blossoms into a kindred spirit, and a true friendship, between two families. Dr. Allen C. Barham Sr. (Dr. B) and I discovered one another on the social network of "MySpace". Instead of music, what we had in common was our love for God, writing and public speaking.
On Sunday May 4, 2014, it was the second time two friends (Ms. "V" & Dr. B) got a chance to see each other. Dr. B's let me know that he was coming to minister in Tallahassee, Orlando & in JAX, FL at New Spirit Full Gospel Word Church (under the leadership of Bishop Forrest and Dr. Willamina Gilbert).
Only one time before had Ms. "V" and her husband come face-to-face with Dr. Barham. This promised to be a very special time because of the opportunity to meet Dr. B's wife, youngest child and their Grandchild.
God also orchestrated a reunion with a former church member whom I had lost contact, and we had a grand fellowship at New Spirit. Let it also be known that the New Spirit Gospel Word Church was next door to the mortuary where my Mother-in-law was laid to rest back in 2011.
Some people talk about social network meetings as being unsafe, and they could be harmful, yet if we use wisdom then we can be the master over the site instead of the site controlling us. If God can use the electronic highways to kindle relationships, direct people towards opportunities, or bless His people, then who are we to judge. God can use anyone or anything for His purposes.
All this said, it was all due to the interaction of people on social network sites. Sites such as Face Book, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and others can be harmful if people use them with the wrong intentions, nonetheless, they can be an avenue to lifelong friendships, a realm of information and great opportunities.
If you would like to meet my friend, who is a licensed Christian Psychologist (his wife is soon to be a lawyer - The new Huxtables), then take a look at the pictures, read an excerpt from his books "Go Master The Day", "Live Your Like Purpose" and his endorsement in "Bent But Not Broken".

Matt Nawrocki – With tablets and smartphones running more powerful ARM processors, you can get more work done and try some new tricks. If you'd like to run some older legacy Windows software (from the 9x era, in particular), you might be pleased to know that a QEMU emulator designed for Android exists in the Google Play Store called Limbo PC Emulator. It's free to download and use for both commercial and non-commercial purposes… Read more:

- abstract
This experimental study, first, compares the individual valuations of two risk reduction mechanisms: self-insurance and self-protection. Second, it investigates these valuations when the loss amount is ambiguous, and compare these values with valuations when loss amounts are known. results confirm that there exists no "framing effect" due to the two risk reduction mechanisms. Ambiguity in the loss amount has a weak impact on the valuation, and using different representations of ambiguity does not change the valuation. Moreover, the mean ratios of ambiguous to risky bids are greater than one for low loss amounts indicating ambiguity aversion. These ratios are not significantly different from one for high loss amounts regardless of the probability of loss levels. Finally, 28 percent of the sample behaved consistent with the predictions of "anchoring and adjustment", while only 6 percent supported the "maximin" predictions.

Eat foods that are rich in vitality. Study proper food combinations. Never overeat; rather,

More: Many actors tend to keep their personal life private, but you are putting it all out there in your new book, The Longest Way Home.
Andrew McCarthy: I guess what I am putting out there are the human feelings everyone has, including myself. I suppose it is revealing, even though I consider it to be the internal stuff every one of us has.
More: I am not used to having a guy who wants to talk and share his feelings.
AM: [Laughs] Apparently some of us guys have them. I get it, though . . . I suppose that is why I couched the book to also center on exotic travel. I thought this was a better way to express my feelings rather than just sitting on a couch.
More: This memoir is both a tour of the world and a tour of who you are. Would you consider this the most personal material you have ever shared with your fans?
AM: Yes. I had no interest in writing just a travel book. I don't think it is an uncommon issue for someone like myself to have our own self, our own solitude and connect with the people we love. I needed to explore how to do that and resolve that issue, which seems to be a persistent factor in my life.
More: Why do you think that is?
AM: I think a lot of people struggle with this in many ways. It took me a long time to realize this was an issue—that push-pull that's coming toward and then pulling away. I finally had enough of that and decided I wanted to make a change, because feeling this way was not getting me to the place I wanted to go in life.
More: Did going on this journey end the way you wanted it to?
AM: Yes. You know, being a travel writer has been my secret career for the last 10 years. I found that travel has really changed my life.
More: How so?
AM: It makes me feel more at home in the world and more comfortable with who I am. While some people go to therapy to solve their problems or have coffee with their girlfriends, I travel because it helps me figure stuff out. To me, travel is an internal journey, not just an external one.
More: What got you interested in travel and then realizing it is helping you resolve internal conflicts?
AM: I guess it was a reaction to being in all of those movies people remember me from. I was walking across a pilgrim route in Spain 20 years ago, and it changed my life. I had a real experience taking part in that journey, and I found myself wanting to go on more of these adventures to these wondrous places. I also discovered traveling alone is so valuable and, for me, beneficial. That trip was a really potent moment in my life.
More: When did you decide you wanted to channel your experience and become a journalist?
AM: I would say 10 years ago. I mean, I always took notes from every trip, but I kept those thoughts to myself. I attempted to keep a journal, but I wasn't good at it, because I found it to be self-indulgent and embarrassing. Since I am an actor, I know how to write scenes based on the people I meet along the way. I even know how to do dialogue and themes because of my years as an actor.
More: Is writing your other passion?
AM: I found writing calms me down. I also felt nothing I read in the many travel magazines I picked up really captured the quality I experienced when I saw the world, so I decided I was going to seize the moment and share it with others.
More: I read a review that stated, "McCarthy delves into the things that have both made him the man he is and kept him from becoming the man he wants to be. He writes about his distant and once angry father as well as his old insecurities and doubts." That is quite a change from the hopeless romantic you play in many films.
AM: Oh yeah, that! What can I say, acting is acting. If anything, I want people to read the book and see I am also human. I want people to nod their head and say, "Yeah, I feel that way, too." This book is really me revealing that I am human and why I travel. I wanted to have a moment where I can really connect with people in a way I never did before.
More: Did you accomplish that?
AM: I wanted to create the feeling of hope, possibility and connection in a way where you don't have to escape. We escape situations when we tend not to feel good about ourselves.
More: Is traveling the globe your form of escape?
AM: No, it is my form of connection. Travel is how I feel most connected to myself and the rest of the world. I grew up in New Jersey and have lived in New York for over 32 years. Yet I would not call myself a New Yorker or consider myself to have roots anywhere. I find my home and my roots lie in that connection we were just discussing.
More: What is so ironic, you played a character named Kevin in the smash hit St. Elmo's Fire, and the only things Kevin wanted were to be a writer and find the meaning of life.
AM: Yeah, I really connected with Kevin and identified with him on many levels.
More: Besides being in a relationship, you have two children. How do you juggle having a family and still find time to see the world?
AM: I am constantly jet-lagged. I am always racing back all of the time or taking my kids with me when I can. I took my son to the Sahara and Morocco. My daughter has also come away with me. We travel together as much as we can. It is a juggling act I am not sure I do very well, but I do my best to be there for everyone as well as my career.
More: Not easy, huh?
AM: It is mayhem, but it works.
More: This particular title has quite a few meanings. It is your journey around the world, but it is also about your journey to finally settle down. Without giving too much away, I understand congratulations are in order.
AM: Yes, I got married a year ago. And they said it wouldn't last! [Laughs] The event of the book was the internal journey to this moment.
More: If your kids decide to read this book one day, what do you hope they will learn from it?
AM: I suppose it is just a letter to them. While some people say it is a love letter to my wife, which to some degree it is, I also think it is a letter to them about who their father is. It is not so much a book about what I have done but rather who I am and how I operate emotionally.
More: Will you encourage your children to read this book with you and watch some of your memorable films so they see Daddy in full circle?
AM: My kids know I am an actor, but acting is not a huge part of our lives. My daughter is much more interested in her gymnastics class than in Daddy's old movies.

On July 22, a handsome German shepherd named "Lago," lost his home and his family.
The prior owner of the seven-year-old dog told the Animal Friends of the Valleys, which is located in Wildomar, Calif., that Lago is calm, friendly and likes to play, but unfortunately, for reasons unknown, his positive attributes were not enough for him to retain his home.
The rescue coordinator for the animal control facility wrote the following information about the now homeless German shepherd:
Lago (#186524) is already neutered, about seven-years-old, 75 pounds, and is a very nice boy. We had Lago meet a female Boxer today at the shelter and he was indifferent towards her. We recommend a dental for Lago, he has old, healing fly strike on both ears, a scrape on his nose, and attached, rear dewclaws.
By nature, German shepherds are loyal, intelligent and devoted to their family. Behind bars, Lago has no one to direct his devotion to. Please take a moment to network this gorgeous German shepherd's information - he is available for general adoption, or to a rescue organization.
- Animal Friends of the Valleys Website/Dog adoptions here
- Age - estimated at 7 years
- Bi-color German shepherd/Neutered
- Identification number 186524
- Please direct ALL inquiries about this dog to the facility where he is being held
- Adoption fees include a microchip (with lifetime membership in Home Again), DA2PPV-C & bordatella vaccinations, collar, AFV ID tag,and free vet check.ility phone number 951-674-0618 Ext. 224
- Seniors (5 years and older):
$50 - Altered (already spayed/neutered when they enter the shelter)
$35 - Unaltered (plus spay/neuter fee)

When it comes to weight loss, celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels has become famed as the go-to guru. She's taken on the role of tough-as-nails trainer on "The Biggest Loser" and written best-selling diet books such as "Slim for Life: My Insider Secrets to Simple, Fast, and Lasting Weight Loss" (click for details). Now Jillian's serving up the best fat-burning foods and supplements - and we've got the skinny here.
Jillian recommends these fat burners because they're shown to boost metabolism, build lean muscle and accelerate the weight loss process, according to Everyday Health:
- Green tea shrinks fat cells and slims your waistline, according to a new study. Try Yogi Blueberry Slim Life Green Tea.
- Fish oil activates proteins in your body that boost fat-burning mechanisms. Take supplements or eat seafood such as salmon. Our favorite: Bumble Bee Foods Wild Pink Salmon, Skinless & Boneless.
- Pomegranates contain anthocyanins, which halt the growth of fat cells. Try sprinkling on cereal or stir into yogurt: Dried Pomegranate Arils.
- Berries boost fat-blocking abilities in your body.
- Drink water to wash away the bloat, stay hydrated and halt fluid retention.
In addition, Jillian has concocted a cookbook to help you make fat-burning meals: "The Master Your Metabolism Cookbook." And for help with both diet and fitness, click here for information on her book "Making the Cut: The 30-Day Diet and Fitness Plan for the Strongest, Sexiest You."

I never use the mix because I think the spices are funky and dry tasting. If you use bulgar whole, you just boil water and let it sit over the bulgar with a plate over the bowl. When it has all absorbed, you add your olive oil, lemon, fresh garlic, mint, salt and pepper. That's it. I add tomatoes, parsley, cucumbers, feta and can even add calamatas. It's so much better than the box mix. Another grain I use is quinoa instead of bulgar and it's really tasty and a huge protein.

The opera singer Giusto Ferdinando Tenducci was one of the most famous celebrities of the eighteenth century. In collaboration with the English composer Thomas Arne, he popularized Italian opera, translating it for English audiences and making it accessible with his own compositions which heperformed in London's pleasure gardens. Mozart and J. C. Bach both composed for him. He was a rock star of his day, with a massive female following. He was also a castrato. Women flocked to his concerts and found him irresistible. His singing pupil, Dorothea Maunsell, a teenage girl from a genteel Irish family, eloped with him. There was a huge scandal; her father persecuted them mercilessly. Tenducci's wife joined him at his concerts, achieving a status as a performershe could never have dreamed of as a respectable girl. She also wrote a sensational account of their love affair, an early example of a teenage novel. Embroiled in debt, the Tenduccis fled to Italy, and the marriage collapsed when she fell in love with another man. There followed a highly publicizedand unique marriage annulment case in the London courts. Everything hinged on the status of the marriage; whether the husband was capable of consummation, and what exactly had happened to him as a small boy in a remote Italian hill village decades before. Ranging from the salons of princes and the grand opera houses of Europe to the remote hill towns of Tuscany, the unconventional love story of the castrato and his wife affords a fascinating insight into the world of opera and the history of sex and marriage in Georgian Britain, while also exploringquestions about the meaning of marriage that continue to resonate in our own time.

Adapted from Richard Matheson's 1960s vintage novel Bid Time Return. A young playwright, Richard Collier (Reeve), is approached by an elderly woman on the occasion of his first triumph in 1972 — all she says to him is "Come back to me" and leaves him with a watch that contains a picture of a ravishing young woman. Eight years later, he visits the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island and comes upon a photograph of the same woman, whom he discovers was an actress who made an appearance at the hotel in 1912. He becomes obsessed with the image and what the woman — who died the night she approached him in 1972 — meant by what she said. In a manner somewhat reminiscent of the film Laura, he falls in love with her and her image as he learns more about her life and career. Then he comes upon the suggestion of a professor at his former college that time travel may, in fact, be possible, using an extreme form of self-hypnosis to free the person from the place they occupy in the time-stream. Collier's feelings for the woman are so strong that he succeeds, bringing himself back to the hotel in 1912 on the eve of her triumph. He meets the actress, Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour), and the two fall in love despite the machinations of her obsessive, autocratic manager (Christopher Plummer), who feels threatened by Collier's presence.

Joan Rivers is reportedly still on life support but is in stable condition and improving, according to MTV News on Tuesday. Rivers' daughter Melissa released a statement early Tuesday with an update on her mother's condition. The statement reports that the 81-year-old comedian is getting better and on the road to recovery.
Rivers suddenly stopped breathing last Thursday during throat surgery at a Manhattan clinic. What was supposed to be a minor outpatient procedure turned into a life-threatening situation. Rivers was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York and placed in a medically induced coma after the "Fashion Police" host went into cardiac arrest.
Since Saturday, Rivers has been on life support. TMZ said on Sunday that she was completely reliant on machines to stay alive, and the family would have to decide within a few days whether they wanted to keep the comedy legend on life support. At the time, Rivers' family was optimistic that she would continue to fight if they took her off of life support.
Apparently, as of Tuesday, Rivers remains on life support but is continuing to improve. Said Melissa, "She is calmer than I've ever seen her. All these reports about doomsday are not true. She is her mother's daughter and she's tough as nails."Rivers' daughter Melissa and Melissa's son Cooper flew across country to stay by her side. From 2011 to 2014, Rivers starred with Melissa in the WE tv reality series "Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?"
Rivers has recently been under criticism for making rude and vulgar jokes directed towards public figures and serious topics, including making fun of English singer-songwriter Adele's weight. Rivers never apologized for what some said were "hideous" jokes, saying that her comments were taken out of context. There is some speculation that Melissa is considering a malpractice lawsuit against the Yorkville Endoscopy clinic in Yorkville, Manhattan where Rivers was undergoing the throat surgery.
"On behalf of my mother and our family, we are extremely grateful for all the love and support we've received," said Melissa. She went on to say in the update statement on Tuesday that "I know my mother would be overwhelmed by the continued outpouring of kindness and I want to thank everyone for keeping us in their prayers." Doctors have said they will assess the actress for brain damage once she's out of a coma.

Best Uses
The shreds where a lot smaller than I would have liked them to be, which made them messy and hard to handle. I thought the stuff would be about 6 inches long, some were- but a lot were tiny scraps that were about an inch or so making it almost confetti. Also, not all of the shreds were metallic, some were see thru red- it didn't make a big difference with what I was using it for, but something that should be noted.

Liberty Heroes
Harry Browne:
Browne ran for President twice on the Libertarian Party ticket, once in 1996 and again in 2000. Sadly, he passed away in 2006 and was paid tribute by Ron Paul. No doubt Harry Browne is looking down on America shaking his head saying, "I told you so."
His biography on his website describes him perfectly: Harry Browne was an American free-market Libertarian writer and the Libertarian Party's 1996 & 2000 candidate for President of the United States. He was also a well-known investment advisor for over thirty years, author of "Harry Browne's Special Report" — a financial newsletter published from 1974-1997, author of 19 books and thousands of articles, Co-founder and Director of Public Policy of the libertarian Downsize DC Foundation, host of two weekly network radio shows — one a political and the other a financial show, host of an ETV (internet-based television) show called "This Week in Liberty with Harry Browne" on the Internet based Free Market News Network, a consultant to the Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds, and a popular inspirational public speaker.
Harry Browne's campaign book, "Why Government Doesn't Work", is right up there alongside Ron Paul's manifesto as the two best campaign books of all time.
For my money, he had a way of speaking that made you understand libertarian principles better than anyone. Lew Rockwell summed up the essence of Harry Browne's abilities in an article following Browne's death.
He was exceptional as a public speaker during the campaigns. No matter whether the topic was taxes, education, states rights, war and foreign policy, or the drug war, he took the right position and explained it in a way that allowed anyone to see his point of view. He changed minds, and stuck to principle the whole time. Harry was not tempted to sell out his message for the sake of more votes. He didn't trim or compromise. His energies were spent trying to think of ways to make the core message more marketable and understandable.
Below are a few quotes from Harry Browne
"I am running for president because it is obvious that no Democrat or Republican is ever going to stop the relentless growth of the federal government. …only a Libertarian is going to set you free."
"The government's War on Poverty has transformed poverty from a short-term misfortune into a career choice."
"The Bill of Rights is a literal and absolute document. The First Amendment doesn't say you have a right to speak out unless the government has a 'compelling interest' in censoring the Internet. The Second Amendment doesn't say you have the right to keep and bear arms until some madman plants a bomb. The Fourth Amendment doesn't say you have the right to be secure from search and seizure unless some FBI agent thinks you fit the profile of a terrorist. The government has no right to interfere with any of these freedoms under any circumstances."
And finally a quote that encompasses the economic disaster of 2008/2009:
"The free market punishes irresponsibility. Government rewards it."
Amen Harry. We miss you, but your message carries on.
Austrian economist Thomas J. DiLorenzo: Born 1954, DiLorenzo teaches American Economics at Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland, a senior faculty member of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, and author/co-author of several books, most notably:
- Lincoln Unmasked: What You're Not Supposed To Know about Dishonest Abe
- Abraham Lincoln: Friend or Foe of Freedom?
- How Capitalism Saved America: The Untold History of Our Country, From the Pilgrims to the Present
- Hamilton's Curse: How Jefferson's Arch Enemy Betrayed the American Revolution–and What It Means for Americans Today
Well known for shunning the typical politically-correct line of thinking, his well-researched and masterfully eloquent works are eye opening to many whose only knowledge of political and economic topics resulted from the revisionist history often taught in government schools.
DiLorenzo is steadfast in his claim that the interventions of Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt exacerbated the economic problems of the 1930s and prolonged the Great Depression. As he wrote in the opening paragraph of The New Deal Debunked (again) (a followup to his earlier article A New, New Deal):
FDR's New Deal made the Great Depression longer and deeper. It is a myth that Franklin D. Roosevelt "got us out of the Depression" and "saved capitalism from itself," as generations of Americans have been taught by the state's educational establishment.
In addition to his discussion on economics, DiLorenzo's scathing reviews of often-revered Abraham Lincoln and Alexander Hamilton are noteworthy. In his books as well as in essays such as Speaking Truth to the Lincoln Cult he points out that the popular "history" of Lincoln is more mythology than fact.
The gigantic collection of myths, lies, and distortions that comprise The Legend of Abraham Lincoln is the ideological cornerstone of the American warfare/welfare state.
DiLorenzo cites a litany of sources to paint a picture of Lincoln as a masterful politician who spent his entire political career to convert our republican form of government (one that was very limited in scope and highly decentralized, as the Founding Fathers intended) to a highly centralized, controlling state. And despite the fact that our fifth grade schoolteachers told us that Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to "free the slaves", DiLorenzo shows us (often in Lincoln's own words) that he was basically ambivalent on the subject of slavery. Instead of taking one side or the other, he used it as a political football to achieve his real political goals, such as denying states the right to secede from the union and implementing the mercantilist policies of his hero, Henry Clay. DiLorenzo details how Lincoln trampled on the Constitution, subverted state's rights, and pushed our nation into a civil war that has changed us forever.
On Hamilton DiLorenzo says:
Hamilton was a compulsive statist who wanted to bring the corrupt British mercantilist system – the very system the American Revolution was fought to escape from – to America. He fought fiercely for his program of corporate welfare, protectionist tariffs, public debt, pervasive taxation, and a central bank run by politicians and their appointees out of the nation's capital.
Building on Hamilton's statement that our national debt is a "public blessing" and his overt disdain for "an excessive concern for liberty in public men" such as Thomas Jefferson, DiLorenzo unravels the romantic mythology surrounding this founding father, detailing how his policies are now revered by many a big-government politician. Read his recent article highlighting his new book on this subject.
If you missed the most recent interview with Thomas DiLorenzo as reported on Liberty Maven, be sure to check it out.
Also recommended are his various writings available on LewRockwell.com.
We continue our series of Liberty Maven's Liberty Heroes list with Barry Goldwater. Goldwater was known as "Mr. Conservative". He is credited with sparking the resurgence of the conservative political mindset in the 1960′s. He is also credited with having an impact on the libertarian movement. He is known for speaking his mind which reminds me of a certain doctor from Texas, Ron Paul. The best way to know Barry Goldwater is to read his book, "Conscience of a Conservative", which is yesterday's equivalent of Ron Paul's excellent , "The Revolution: A Manifesto".
The main area (and it's an important one) where Goldwater could not be considered in line with Ron Paul's view of liberty was with foreign policy. He was an interventionist and supported the cold war wholeheartedly. Indeed, this is the precise position Lyndon Johnson attacked with the now famous "Daisy" advertisement. Many point to this as the reason Johnson was able to defeat Goldwater in a landslide in the 1964 election.
Goldwater was quite libertarian on social issues. He supported legalizing medicinal marijuana, getting the federal government out of the abortion debate, and was quite vocal against the religious right in the early 1980′s. Below are a few choice quotes from our liberty hero Barry Goldwater.
"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!"
"The income tax created more criminals than any other single act of government."
"I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in "A," "B," "C" and "D." Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me?"
"The big thing is to make this country, along with every other country in the world with a few exceptions, quit discriminating against people just because they're gay. You don't have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to be gay. And that's what brings me into it."
"Hubert Humphrey talks so fast that listening to him is like trying to read Playboy magazine with your wife turning the pages."
Judge Andrew Napolitano is the Senior Judicial Analyst for the FOX News Channel, but he is not your usual FOX neo-conservative drone. He also co-hosts a FOX News talk radio show called "Brian and The Judge". The Judge is a leading voice for strictly following the Constitution in all matters of law.
He called Ron Paul the "Thomas Jefferson of our day" at the Future of Freedom Foundation conference back in the summer of 2007. He has several wonderful liberty loving books including his most recent, "A Nation of Sheep" and his older one, "Constitutional Chaos: What Happens When the Government Breaks Its Own Laws".
If you haven't heard Judge Napolitano speak check out his radio show, read his books, and listen to this hour long interview he did with Kurt Wallace on Ron Paul Radio in November of 2007.
Also, highly recommended is his most recent (as of this writing) editorial in the Wall Street Journal, "Most Presidents Ignore the Constitution: The government we have today is something the Founders could never have imagined".
Walter E. Williams is an economist and college professor at George Mason University. He is on the Liberty Maven Liberty Heroes list because of his dedication to free market economics and liberty. His syndicated column is always interesting and worth reading. He regularly fills in for Rush Limbaugh on Limbaugh's national radio show. We don't hold that against him though. He wrote the foreword to Thomas DiLorenzo's excellent book, "The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War". He is also an accomplished author of his own with works such as "More Liberty Means Less Government: Our Founders Knew This Well (Hoover Institution Press Publication ; No. 453)" and the recently released "Liberty versus the Tyranny of Socialism: Controversial Essays". Below are a few choice quotes from Williams.
"The framers gave us the Second Amendment not so we could go deer or duck hunting but to give us a modicum of protection against congressional tyranny."
"Democracy and liberty are not the same. Democracy is little more than mob rule, while liberty refers to the sovereignty of the individual."
"There are people in need of help. Charity is one of the nobler human motivations. The act of reaching into one's own pockets to help a fellow man in need is praiseworthy and laudable. Reaching into someone else's pocket is despicable and worthy of condemnation."

They say great taste is timeless - but then again, so is bad taste. Despite the time we spend looking for stuff to make you salivate with desire, occasionally we stumble upon things that elicit a very different oral reaction. Sometimes we shudder and move on, and then there are times that the object in question is just too awful to keep to ourselves, so we bring it to you as a Doubtblush.
Unless we have a guest spot in a Korean soap opera, the Captain Sweatshirt Dress ($90) seems like a bad idea. Sure, jumping around in this "terry woven" tunic thing to capture the beauty of yarn bundles being flung around would be fun. For ten minutes. Sorry guys, shoulder volume for the sake of shoulder volume just isn't our thing. There's no tailoring to support this loosey-goosey look. We'll pass.
dusting and mopping anyone? anyone?
The rest of the site is AWESOME though!
True, dat. We were shocked to find something to ridicule.
