How the Cookie Diet Crumbles
Despite Company Claims, Experts Question Efficacy and Long-Term Benefits of Single-Food Plans
Eat cookies whenever you want to—and still lose weight!
That pitch may conjure up visions of unlimited sugar cookies with sprinkles and gingerbread men.
But the "cookie diets" being heavily promoted on TV, in magazines and on the Internet these days don't give you those options. Instead, you eat prepackaged cookies (infused with things like glycerine and protein powder) throughout the day in place of breakfast and lunch, then eat a "sensible dinner" of lean protein and vegetables for 800 to 1,200 calories per day, which the purveyors promise will make you lose weight.
Each of the top three diet-cookie brands—Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet, Smart for Life and Hollywood Cookie Diet—encourages you to space the cookies throughout the day. Each claims to have a proprietary blend of protein that helps control hunger so you can stick to the low-calorie plan.
Diets centered on a single food go back for decades. (Remember the Grapefruit Diet, the Drinking Man's Diet and the Ice Cream Diet?) So does the idea of removing choice and temptation by eating a preplanned meal substitute. (Think Optifast or Slimfast.) And cookie diets themselves are not new— Sanford Siegal, a physician, started using his diet cookies with patients in his South Florida weight-loss clinics in 1975.
But marketing campaigns, reports of celebrity users and heated rivalries among the brands have helped make them visible of late. And, of course, the American public remains hungry for anything that promises to take weight off, easily and quickly, without giving up any beloved foods.
So do they work?
Even strict nutritionists agree that if you take in fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. But they have a long list of concerns with cookie diets. Some say that consuming fewer than about 1,000 calories a day can throw your body into a state of "conservation," which slows your metabolism down and makes weight loss slower. "Your body thinks something is wrong and doesn't realize you're doing this voluntarily," says Bonnie Taub-Dix, a private weight-loss consultant in New York and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
Dinner and late-night snacking are the biggest issues for most dieters, says Ms. Taub-Dix. If you can limit yourself to a dinner of lean fish and vegetables, as these diets require, you won't need to substitute cookies for other meals.
Some experts also worry that consuming mostly cookies for long periods of time makes for very unbalanced nutrition. "How are you going to fit in your servings of fruits and vegetables?" asks Elisabetta Politi, nutrition director of the Duke Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, N.C., which serves large salads or vegetable-based soup at meals. "There is so much evidence that the Mediterranean diet—with fruit, vegetables, whole grains, protein and unprocessed foods—is a healthy way to lose weight. These diets seem to be the complete antithesis of that," she says.
How the Diet Cookies Tasted
We asked a panel of 10 Wall Street Journal staffers to taste-test some of the offerings of three major cookie-diet companies and rate them on a scale from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest). Here are the results—and the companies' responses:
Hollywood Cookie Diet
- Rating: Chocolate Chip 5.3
- Comments: "Looks like a real cookie" with a "biscuit-type consistency" and "chocolaty chips (too few)" and an "odd aftertaste."
- Rating: Oatmeal Raisin 5.1
- Comments: "Most oatmeal-tasting," "soft, chewy, spicy and delicious," but with a "strong ginger flavor" that "tastes like medicine."
Company Response: "Virtually everyone who tries the Hollywood Cookie Diet loves the taste and cannot believe that it is a diet cookie," says Larry Turner, co-creator.
Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet
- Rating: Oatmeal Raisin 3.1
- Comments: "Tastes almost like a cookie" with "citrusy undertones" but with a "fake and spongelike texture" that made it "tough to eat."
- Rating: Chocolate 2.9
- Comments: "What chocolate?" "Tastes more like a date" or "cardboard," "rubbery," though "I feel good about eating them."
Company response: "I'm Dr. Siegal, not Mrs. Fields.... To submit to a taste test a product that is designed not to entertain people but to help them overcome a serious health condition is to perpetuate the very culture that has made so many of us unhealthy," says founder Sanford Siegal.
Smart for Life
- Rating: Oatmeal Raisin 2.4
- Comments: "Hints of apple cinnamon" but a "weird consistency" and a "terrible aftertaste"; "tastes like a cookie that was baked incorrectly."
- Rating: Chocolate Chip 2.4
- Comments: "Nice appearance, with icing stripes" but "extremely bland" with "wooden, unsavory, crunchy bits."
Company response: "Our cookie is a meal, not really a cookie. What we find is that people end up liking them very much. We minimally process and bake them to keep the nutrients in," says Sasson Moulavi, medical director.
She also notes that while protein is known to curb hunger, the five grams of protein per cookie the major brands offer isn't very much. "When people eat low-carb diets, they eat 20 to 50 grams of protein per meal," she says.
Indeed, says Ms. Taub-Dix, "for the same amount of fiber, protein, fat and carbs, and fewer calories, you could have a slice of low-carb bread with low-fat cheese. You could have it with your kids and not feel like an outcast."
The experts also say that cookie diets don't help teach people better eating habits in the long run. "A lot of patients tell me, 'Just tell me what to do and I'll do it.' But that usually puts the kibosh on success. They can't wait for the day when they can stop doing it," says Ms. Taub-Dix, whose program involves helping clients understand why they are eating too much and helping them change their behavior.
The cookie-diet companies have answers for each of those concerns.
Dr. Siegal says he hears the argument that his regime has too few calories "all the time—and I have to laugh.... I've seen a half-million patients over the last 50 years, and I have yet to see a single problem associated with a low-calorie diet. It simply doesn't exist." That said, concern about creating too much of a calorie deficit is why he tells clients not to exercise until they get into the maintenance phase of the diet, when they have lost their weight and are trying not to regain it.
"We don't want to go into that range where the body starts to protect itself," he says. "You don't accomplish anything more by doing that." (Dieters get six of the 90-calorie cookies per day; weekly packages cost $56.)
Smart for Life, which used to be in business with Dr. Siegal but parted ways in 2006, boasts that its cookies are made with "60% organic" ingredients, "triple-filtered water" and a proprietary "Fortefiber." "Our cookie is a full combination of food ... that you don't get with other cookies," says Sasson Moulavi, a physician and medical director of Smart for Life Weight Management Centers, which also operates 42 weight-loss clinics. (Users can have up to eight of the 105-calorie cookies per day, depending on their height; a two-week supply costs $139.)
Bitterness between the two companies remains—www.cookiediet.com is Dr. Siegal's Web site; www.thecookiediet.com takes you to Smart for Life.
Larry Turner, president of Sunset Health Products Inc., which makes the Hollywood Cookie Diet, says his company came up with a cookie concept in 2006. He says Hollywood—which first made 48-hour juice cleansers—focused on making its cookies flavorful as well as filling. (Our blind taste test found that Hollywood's are the best-tasting) At 150 calories each, Hollywood's cookies are also more substantial, but users get only four per day. (A package of 12 costs $20.)
All three companies tell dieters to get their vitamins elsewhere. Smart for Life says dinner should consist of 10 to 12 ounces of lean protein with up to five servings of nonstarchy vegetables. Dr. Siegal's cookies come with a bottle of multivitamins. Hollywood recently reformulated its cookies to remove many of the added vitamins. "Vitamins taste nasty. You have to put in other things that mask the taste," says Mr. Turner, who adds that most customers already use multivitamin pills. "Vitamins also affect the shelf life, and we had production issues with it."
I asked each of the companies if they had conducted clinical studies to back up their claims, or had kept track of how many customers had lost weight and kept it off.
"What is there to study? You eat a low-calorie diet and you lose weight. Nobody disputes that," says Dr. Siegal. He estimates that over 50% of the half-million people he's seen in his practice had reached their goal weight. But he says he has not followed up with them long-term. "If they have lost their weight, they have no reason to come back to us," he says.
Matthew Siegal, president and CEO of Dr. Siegal's Direct Nutritionals LLC and the founder's son, says, "There has never been a diet that will keep the weight off if you go back to your old habits."
There's also no way to keep track of those who buy retail cookies. Mr. Siegal says that fewer than 20% of the 110,000 or so customers who have ordered from the company's Web site do so only once, though he does not know what percent have ordered three or more times.
Smart for Life sent research showing that Fortefiber "helps maintain healthy blood cholesterol, glucose and insulin levels in healthy individuals" and helps reduce insulin resistance in hamsters. It also sent several papers in support of its triple-filtered water. As for studies with weight-loss patients, "I have really been wanting to do a study—we just haven't had a chance," says Dr. Moulavi. "We have exploded in growth over the last three years."
Hollywood Diet sent a study, unpublished and paid for by the company, showing that each of 22 patients lost weight (between three and 11 pounds) over two weeks. No one reported an upset stomach, and each "expressed their desire to use the diet again on a regular basis."
Each company also provided the names of customers who have lost weight on their plans and believe in them.
Terry and Bill Sauer of Sicklerville, N.J., say they have lost 45 and 94 pounds, respectively, on Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet since last February. "I drive a truck, and it's very easy to eat one of those six cookies whenever you get a little hungry. That's why I could stick to it," says Mr. Sauer, 60 years old.
Tony Lazos, 67, a business executive in Oceanside, Calif., says the Hollywood Cookie Diet helped him lose the 27 pounds he had gained due to stress and a slowing metabolism. "I could be a cheerleader for this diet, because it works," he says.
Brooke Webb Masten, 30, of Jupiter, Fla., says she lost more than 100 pounds on Smart for Life and has kept the weight off for three years. She has since become a fitness trainer and is studying nutrition, and even though she has heard all the criticism, she says she would recommend the cookie diet to people who had struggled with other plans. "Eating a salad for lunch with small, nutritious snacks is ideal, but a lot of people aren't able to do that," she says.
In the end, everybody is different—and if you've had trouble losing weight on other programs, one of the cookie diets might be worth a try. But don't expect miracles or sugar plums.

Greek Politics After the Vote
Greece's parliament may have passed legislation to satisfy its official creditors, but the vote doesn't end the uncertainty. The mood in the legislature on Sunday night suggests another question: How committed are Greece's political leaders to the reforms they passed?
As 199 deputies in the 300-seat parliament voted in favor of the legislation, 43 deputies from the two main parties voted against their leaders' orders and were subsequently thrown out of the parties.
With Greek politics in flux and elections set to take place in April, the question remains whether Greece's future prime minister and his deputies will continue to throw their weight behind implementing the overhaul of the Greek economy and state administration.
The conservative New Democracy party and its leader Antonis Samaras, who support the caretaker government led by Lucas Papademos, are set to win the elections in April. Yet New Democracy saw 21 of its own deputies defect, bringing his control of parliament seats down from 83 to 62.
The socialist Pasok party, winner of the last elections in 2009, saw 22 defections and now has 131 deputies in parliament after its leader and former prime minister George Papandreou, who fell from grace when he called for a surprise referendum in November, also removed the defectors from party ranks. Pasok is in the midst of an internal leadership struggle that may see current finance minister Evangelos Venizelos become chief.
In the short-run, the concern is commitment. Mr Papandreou will undoubtedly support the program– the main question is over Mr Samaras.
Here's European Union economics commissioner Olli Rehn welcoming on Monday the outcome of the Greek vote:
"The correction of the serious imbalances affecting the Greek economy and the restoration of the conditions for growth and jobs are a long-term endeavour. It will still take time and effort by the Greek society. The EU continues to stand by the Greek people. The Greek authorities and political forces should now take full ownership and make the case for the second program, and then fully implement it, in order to ensure the return of the country to sustainable economic growth and jobs."
Mr. Papademos certainly offered this on Sunday night, speaking just minutes before the crucial vote:
"We have before a complete and reliable economic program (for the) exit from the fiscal and financial crisis in the country. A program that ensures, like nothing else, our position in the euro. That averts a disastrous bankruptcy. It is a tough program that brings painful sacrifices for a very wide set of social strata, almost for the totality of our society, on top of sacrifices already made. But it's a program that will put us on a strong footing and will lead to the necessary reform and recovery of our economy so that we can overcome the crisis and transition to growth and job creation."
What of Mr Samaras? Was his support full and unequivocal? Here's how he concluded his own speech in parliament just before the vote Sunday.
"I want to avoid the jump over the cliff today, to buy time, to restore normality and to go to elections tomorrow. This is why I ask you to vote in favor of the new loan agreement today and to have the ability tomorrow to negotiate and to change the current policy which has been forced on us. But to change [the policy] we must exist as a country, as society and as a democracy. I'm not asking you to vote in favor of the wrong recipe. I was the first to reject it and I stand by that. But I'm asking you to walk away from the edge of the cliff and to fight together tomorrow."
The equivocation may encourage the troika of official-sector creditors to insist on receiving clear support for the measures by Mr Samaras. Mr Papademos can only guarantee what happens until the day of the election, after that, the troika will have to find a way to negotiate with the conservative leader.
Beyond that, the 43 Greek deputies from New Democracy and Pasok that opposed the new measures are now the third largest "party" in the Greek parliament and join the leftist and nationalist parliamentary parties in opposition.
This can hardly be reassuring to those hoping for broad political support and "full ownership" of the program. And it isn't only a short-term question: Greece's financing program lasts until 2015 and the memorandum of understanding passed in the Greek parliament says that the euro-zone has pledged to continue funding the country "for as long as it takes" until it can return to the market to borrow for itself.

POTENTILLA Overview Information
Potentilla is an herb. The flower and leaf are used to make medicine.
People take potentilla as a tea for diarrhea. Women take it for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and for mildly painful menstrual periods.
Potentilla is sometimes applied directly to the affected area for soreness and swelling (inflammation) of the mouth and throat.
Don't confuse potentilla (Potentilla anserina) with agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) or tormentil (Potentilla erecta), which are also referred to as potentilla.
It's also important to distinguish between potentilla and jewelweed, because both are known as silverweed.
How does it work?
Potentilla contains chemicals called tannins that might help reduce skin inflammation and have a drying (astringent) effect on the tissues.
POTENTILLA Uses & Effectiveness
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
- Mildly painful menstruation.
- Diarrhea.
- Mouth and throat swelling (inflammation), when applied directly.
- Other conditions.
POTENTILLA Dosing
The appropriate dose of potentilla depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for potentilla. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

Sally Barkow, a former Olympic sailor and Wisconsin native, joins an international crew of eleven women who will compete in a nine-leg race around the world, covering more than 39,000 miles of the world's most challenging oceans and conditions. The Volvo Ocean Race is one of sailing's "Big Three" events along with the America's Cup and the Olympics. "Team SCA," the official name for the crew, was the first to announce an entry for what will be the 12th edition of the race, which will launch from Alicante, Spain, in October 2014. An all-female team is uncommon for the sailing competition (there hasn't been one in more than a decade) due, in part, to the intense physical challenges of the race. However, all boat entries this time are using the exact same boat design, leveling the playing field. "The Volvo Ocean Race offers us a great opportunity to raise the profile of SCA and its brands in the U.S. in a way that supports our B2B customers," said Don Lewis, president of SCA in the Americas. "Team SCA's participation aligns strongly with a key focus of our company – respect for nature – and underscores our connection with our consumers worldwide, 80 percent of whom are women." SCA global hygiene brands include Tork® dispensers, napkin, towel, tissue and wiper products used in commercial settings, and TENA® incontinence care products used by consumers at home and in healthcare facilities. "SCA offers products that improve care of life for families and individuals at home and in the public settings where our products are used. Additionally, SCA has a strong sustainability focus as a company with carbon-neutral operations, as our growing forestlands absorb more carbon than we emit in our production each year. Care of life is a key concept for our company worldwide," said Amy Bellcourt, vice president of SCA. "Our participation in the Volvo Ocean Race is an inspiring example of this. We're putting the resources behind the courageous women of Team SCA to empower them to live out a lifelong dream and compete on a team with women who share their passion." American sailor Barkow, an Olympian, joins Team SCA Barkow joins a growing team of international sailing champions. Team SCA crewmembers to date include Carolijn Brouwer from the Netherlands; Sam Davies, Abby Ehler, and Annie Lush from the United Kingdom; and Liz Wardley, Stacey Jackson and Sophie Ciszek from Australia. First American Crewmember to Join Team SCA in Volvo Ocean Race Justine Mettraux from Switzerland was also announced today as joining the crew. The crew has been undergoing a rigorous training program at the Team SCA base in Lanzarote in the Canary Islands since September 2012. "Joining the first all-female team that has a strong ability to compete in the Volvo Ocean Race is very exciting," said Barkow, native of Nashotah, Wisconsin. "The women of Team SCA represent many places in the world. I am proud to represent my country and to give SCA employees and customers in the U.S. a personal connection to the team and the race." Barkow, 33, began sailing at the age of five on Pine Lake, where her home is located. She has been on and off the Olympic circuit for the past 10 years and has also been involved in several other offshore races, including the 2011 Women's Match Race Championships and Princess Sofia Trofeo, for which she was awarded gold medals. At the 2012 French Olympics Sailing Week, Barkow's "Team 7" collected the silver medal. She loves sailing for the competition and the excitement and focus while racing. In 2008 she competed for the U.S. in the Summer Olympic games in Beijing. To learn more about the Volvo Ocean Race, follow along with Team SCA crew training and race updates, please visit TeamSCA.com. You can also follow Team SCA on social media via their Twitter handle, @team.sca, and Facebook page. SCA will be highlighting the company's participation in the Volvo Ocean Race throughout 2014 and 2015 through activities with their U.S. brands, TENA® and Tork®. SCA shares are quoted and traded primarily on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm exchange as the company is based in Sweden, and as American Depository Receipts in the U.S. For six consecutive years, SCA has been honored by Ethisphere as one of the world's most ethical companies. Fortune magazine has also ranked SCA as one of the world's most admired companies in the forest and paper products industry. Additionally, the company is included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. About SCASCA is a leading global hygiene and forest products company that develops and produces personal care products, tissue and forest products. With sales in 100 countries, SCA has 36,000 employees and had revenue in 2012 of $13 billion. With nine manufacturing facilities across North America, the company's Americas headquarters is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In North America, SCA produces the Tork® line of napkin, towel, tissue and wiper products used in commercial settings such as office buildings, restaurants, schools and healthcare facilities and the TENA® line of incontinence care products used by consumers at home and in healthcare facilities.

A Driffield business have made a donation to the town's food bank in the hope of making somebody's New Year a little brighter.
Jackson Robson Licence Chartered Accountants on Exchange Street, Driffield, have donated two boxes of food and £35 in cash to the Driffield Food Bank which is organised by Driffield Churches Together.
The company chose to collect for the cause after being asked by East Yorkshire Building Society to support a local charity over the festive period.
Staff and customers donated food and money at the accountancy firm.
Pat Dean from Jackson Robson Licence Chartered Accountants said: "We chose the food bank because it is a really good cause and when people often say they have eaten too much over Christmas, there are people who don't have enough and use the food bank."
Staff at the company have thanked all those who donated.
On Tuesday 7 January staff from Jackson Robson Licence Chartered Accountants presented representatives from Driffield Food Bank with their donations.

Comments about Murad Post-Acne Spot Lightening Gel, 1 oz:
This product has worked wonders on my skin. I've been using it for almost 2 years now. I have adult acne and sensitive skin. For years I dealt with that horrible "purple jawline" caused by patches of acne scars. You can get away with that kind of thing as a teen but as an adult it's extremely embarrassing, especially when you work with the public like I do. Because my skin is so easily agitated I can't wear concealer or foundation to cover my acne scars. I finally made up my mind to try some kind of skin lightener and I'm so glad I did. This took about 6 weeks to work but once it did I never had to worry about those purple spots again. My skin tone is beautifully even. Although this does not prevent my acne from re-occurring (can't change those hormones unfortunately) it does treat the breakouts effectively without irritation. This doesn't have much of a scent to it. All you need is 1/2 pump to cover your entire face so although the container looks small it will last you for about 6 months with daily use. When you break it down that way you can see it is not that expensive at all.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Murad Post-Acne Spot Lightening Gel, 1 oz:
I've used this a few weeks now and it does lighten the side of my face - where my acne is apparent - but it doesn't really cure the acne itself. It simply lightens your skin. Unfortunately, due to my sensitive skin, these types of product will only work to an extent and also if you live a healthier lifestyle.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It was okay

Comments about Murad Post-Acne Spot Lightening Gel, 1 oz:
I used the product almost every night since I recieved it, I guess about a month ago. I see a little lightening to my acne spots but not much. I've been having issues with these spots for the past 3 years and looking forward to getting this product after reading the good reviews. In the end I would have to say I'm a little disappointed but going to continue to use it for a few more weeks and hopefully will see some more substantial results. If your looking for something that provides signifigant results in short amount of time, I would not reccomend this product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pricey but Effective
By J.Alison
from Bethlehem
Comments about Murad Post-Acne Spot Lightening Gel, 1 oz:
I recently started to experience bouts of acne which has left noticeable dark spots on my face. I tried using both a drugstore product and one purchased at the beauty counter which only seemed to result in more breakouts and minimal, if any, lightening of the scars left behind. I decided to give this a try and I'm glad I did. I've only been using this less than a week and I already noticed an improvement with the scars beginning to fade without the usual breakouts the other products seemed to cause. Yes this product is pricey but because you use so little each time, I imagine it will last a long time.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have been using this for almost two weeks and it really works! I have three spots on my left cheek that has lightened considerably. I'm pretty amazed at how fast this product works. One of my spots has been there for two months and only now is it going away after I started using the gel. I only wish I bought this sooner!

The best thing about Clemson's 34-13 loss at South Carolina Saturday night?
The Tigers get to climb back on the horse this week.
While expressing disappointment with his team's performance against the Gamecocks, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Sunday that he couldn't dwell on the Tigers' shortcomings for long – not with the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship game looming Saturday in Charlotte.
"We've got to turn the page quickly," Swinney said. "Big picture-wise, we're a 9-3 team and it's an honor to be in this game, and that's what we've got to focus on."
Clemson (9-3) plays for the title and an Orange Bowl berth Saturday night against Virginia Tech, which is 11-1 and hasn't lost since suffering a 23-3 defeat at the hands of the Tigers on Oct. 1 in Blacksburg, Va.
"They've really improved, really gotten better," Swinney said of the Hokies, who won the ACC's Coastal Division. "Their quarterback (Logan Thomas) is playing at a high level."
Suffice to say Clemson is not. The Tigers have lost three of their last four games to fall from a No. 5 ranking in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) rankings four weeks ago to a No. 20 ranking on Sunday. Clemson was ranked 21st in both the USA Today and Associated Press polls on Sunday.
Virginia Tech, on the other hand, has been on a roll. Since losing to Clemson, the Hokies have won seven in a row, including an 11-point victory at Georgia Tech, and are No. 5 in the latest BCS standings. The Hokies are third in the USA Today poll and fifth in the AP rankings.
"It hasn't been an easy trip to get here," Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said Sunday. "We've hung in there, and like I've said quite a few times, we haven't always been pretty, but we've always played hard."
Clemson turned in perhaps its best overall performance of the season in beating the Hokies on Oct. 1, but hasn't been able to match that combined effort since.
"We've got a few guys who aren't playing quite as well as they were earlier in the season," Swinney said. "So we didn't finish the season the way we wanted to, but we did finish with the second-best record in this league. We've got to get our team's confidence back and get back to playing winning football.
"It's irrelevant what we've done, good or bad. It's all about this game Saturday night and trying to find a way to win it."
Despite the recent swoon, Swinney says he's convinced that his team has the capacity for rebounding.
"There will be a ton of negativity out there," Swinney said. "Our players have got to listen to the right things and live in reality.
"That's why they call us coach. We've got to teach. We're a 9-3 team that has learned a lot of valuable lessons that are going to pay off for us at some point."

Stick to down town.....I was wrong about the people mover going to the Motor City casino, it's the Greek Town casino.
I thought the International convention in Detroit was in June ???
Does anyone know which hotels they want the JW's to stay in ( Detroit ) ????

It still hurts and I feel empty.
Paint, glue, ink
help keep the darkness at bay.
Right now, nothing else makes sense to me.
She is my first thought upon waking and
my last as I fall asleep.
"It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because that's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket, but to love someone despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect."
Patrick Rothfuss
Today I have this.
Reminders that I matter.
Something worth smiling about.

Anderson Silva stopped Stephan Bonnar with 20 seconds left in the first round Saturday night, winning his 17th straight mixed martial arts fight in front of his home fans at UFC 153 in Rio de Janeiro.
Silva (31-4) stopped Bonnar (17-8) for the first time in the veteran's career. Silva stalked Bonnar before hurting him with a knee to the body and finishing him with punches.
Silva is the UFC's longtime middleweight champion but moved up to light heavyweight for just the third time. Silva also did it on just a few weeks' notice, agreeing to take on Bonnar after several fighters dropped off the card because of injuries.

One of the leaders of a gambling ring that fixed a San Diego game was sentenced to 21/2 years in prison. Steve Goria, 33, pleaded guilty to sports bribery in August, admitting he made $120,000 after betting on a February 2010 game the Toreros' Brandon Johnson was paid to influence. San Diego, favored to beat Loyola Marymount by 31/2 points, lost 72-69. Five other defendants have reached plea agreements. Johnson, another ex-player and a former assistant coach are among the four people awaiting trial.
Defending champion Na-yeon Choi posted a 3-under 68 to maintain the lead at the LPGA Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur. She birdied the first hole before rain halted play for four hours. She's at 13-under 200 after 54 holes. Inbee Park (65) was two shots back. Paula Creamer (70) was tied for sixth at 206.
Labor talks between the NHL and players' association may resume Tuesday. The sides met for two days last week without discussion of hockey-related revenue -- the core economic issue. The 28-day lockout has wiped out the preseason, and last week the NHL canceled regular season games through Oct. 24.

Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
When you start looking for your own apartment, house, or penthouse, watch out for bad windows. If they're all full of dripping air conditioning units, or so small that the sun has to knock to get in, or if they're just plain broken, the whole place can feel dismal and dark. A bad window on the world can make the world itself seem bad.
In Dubliners, we don't really know how many panes of glass or what kind of blinds these windows have. What we do know is that windows figure prominently in the stories as places to think and watch the world, and that the world doesn't seem so rosy for the many window-gazers in these stories. What a shame Windex wasn't around until 1933.
Windows in "Eveline"
She sat at the window watching the evening invade the avenue. (Eveline.1)
Oh, Eveline. You're so close to the world beyond that you can see it, and almost touch it, but you're not quite there. For most of the story, Eveline stays seated at this window, on the inside looking out. We usually use the word "invade" to talk about armies; using it here suggests that the world outside threatens Eveline, even scares her. That's why she stays inside and motionless so long, and why she becomes almost paralyzed when she finally ventures out of the house and into the great wide open… of a crowded city.
Windows in "The Dead"
Gabriel Conroy looks out of windows several times in "The Dead," including once near the beginning of the party, once just before his speech (The Dead.155), and then again as he has his final epiphany. And something strange happens each time that he does it.
The first time, "Gabriel's warm trembling fingers tapped the cold pane of the window." This is Gabriel wishing he could be outside and alone rather than inside and responsible for giving a speech to a bunch of partiers. He's tapping on the window as if he wanted to get out, like some sad reptile in a terrarium. Just as it does in "Eveline," the window once again symbolizes the small but untraveled distance between where someone is and where someone really wants to be.
The second time he thinks of the window, just before he begins his speech, things are a little bit different. Gabriel imagines "people gazing up at the lighted windows" and wishing they were inside (The Dead.240). It's like he's creating an imaginary audience for himself out of the passersby. For the first time, a window allows some kind of transmission from the outside world to the inside—even if it's only in his imagination.
But that last window, in a hotel room where Gretta lies sleeping, changes everything. Check this out: "A few light taps upon the pane made him turn to the window" (The Dead.459). Whoa. Gabriel and Gretta's room, if you remember, is upstairs at the hotel. If someone's tapping, it can't be a good thing, right?
But don't worry. It's just the weather, as "It had begun to snow again" (The Dead.459). So instead of worrying about cat burglars or wayward birds, we should turn our attention to what's really going on here. Instead of depicting a lonely person, looking through a window on a distant outside world, the world's actually reaching in this time.
It's tapping at us and telling us to listen. And what it's saying to Gabriel through the window, is, if you ask us, sort of amazing. It's saying that windows can't really keep the outside out and the inside in. "His own identity was fading out into a grey impalpable world" (The Dead.458). In fact, nothing can separate the two, except a character's own paralysis.
Heads Up
One way to look at how windows work in Dubliners is to watch out for how distant the person on the inside is from what he or she sees outside. From the narrator of "Araby," who uses a window to spy on the girl of his dreams, to the window from which Little Chandler feels "gently melancholy" for life, and finally to Gabriel's stunning revelation that windows can sometime provide no protection at all, windows are a keen insight into how characters relate (or don't relate) to the grand ol' world.

County starts drying out as skies clear
By City News Service
For the first time in a week, San Diego County was expected to see mostly sunny skies today — and that should help the crews clearing up the mess at Qualcomm Stadium.
The biggest problem at there, where the Poinsettia Bowl kickoff is set for 5 p.m., won't be solving Navy's triple option or San Diego State's passing attack, but getting to Qualcomm Stadium and back.
Even before the rain that flooded the stadium's parking lot and closed the trolley line from the east, officials recommended that fans take public transportation.
Around 51,000 tickets have been sold for the first of San Diego's two postseason college football games.
It was unclear how much of the parking lot would be available for cars. Floodwaters from the San Diego River covered much of the outer ring of the lot Wednesday morning.
The Metropolitan Transit Service added trolleys for the Green Line that goes to the stadium, but with the number of parking spaces at the stadium likely to be reduced, no more trolleys can be added to meet demand, said Judy Leitner of the MTS.
"If (fans) were planning to go early, they should go earlier,'' Leitner said.
The heavy rain also gathered on the field at Qualcomm Stadium, which is protected by a tarp. City crews worked all day Wednesday to pump the water out.
The game could come down to which team is able to adjust to the footing on what's left of the field. Both teams rely on speed to overcome their opponents — the Midshipmen on the ground and the Aztecs via the air.
Navy, 9-3, pounds the ball inside, hoping to eventually spring a big play on the perimeter.
Much of San Diego State's scoring in its 8-4 season came on long passes to speedy wide receivers Vincent Brown and DeMarco Sampson. The Aztecs are in their first bowl game in 12 years.
To San Diego State coach Brady Hoke, the condition of the field doesn't matter.
"Whatever it is, it is, and you gotta to go play on it," Hoke said at a news conference Wednesday. "The thing about football, is you both play on the same surface and you do the same things."
The parking lot was scheduled to open at 11 a.m. Off-site parking is available, for a fee, at San Diego State University, the Mission City Corporate Center on Northside Drive, the Marriott Mission Valley on Rio San Diego Drive,
and the Town and County Hotel on Hotel Circle North.
All but the SDSU site are in Mission Valley, so are potentially affected by high water.
Ticket sales will set a record for the Poinsettia Bowl, which has been played annually since 2005. The previous largest crowd was 39,129, when Navy played Utah in 2007.
The Midshipmen will have been involved in all three of the most well-attended games, and are expected to have about 20,000 supporters in the stands today.
Gametime weather should be decent as the unusually wet storm pattern that dropped several inches of rain around the county since last Friday moved out of the region overnight, according to the National Weather Service.
Preliminary seven-day rainfall totals as of late Wednesday afternoon were: 6.74 inches at the Oceanside Airport; 6.79 in Vista; 5.84 in Encinitas; 5.42 at the Montgomery Field; 4.32 at San Diego Lindbergh Field; 4.59 in National City; 8.74 in Fallbrook; 8.3 in Escondido; 6.45 in Poway; 10.04 on Mount Woodson; 7.99 at the Ramona Airport; 6.61 in Santee; 6.27 in Alpine; 18.23 on Palomar Mountain; and 10.9 in Santa Ysabel.
Today's NWS forecast called for partly cloudy skies this morning, followed by mostly sunny skies with light winds.
The mercury today was expected to top out in the low 60s along the coast and western valleys, high 50s near the foothills, mid-50s in the mountains and mid-to-high 60s in the deserts.

My blogweek just keeps getting better and better. Looks like that "Capozzola for Senate" thing in my ad section is a wacky joke, part of some sort of blogfeud. Because there haven't been enough blogfeuds lately...
Turns out that James Capozzola, a name I didn't recognize when I accepted the ad, runs a blog called The Rittenhouse Review, which I don't read but I recognize the name. Apparently he is not liked by whoever runs another blog I don't read called Marduk's Babylonian Musings. Marduk is the name of a person (I think), and he or she created the ad as some sort of practical joke (I think). I don't know either one of them, so when I got an e-mail saying somebody wanted to buy a blogad, and I checked out the ad and it wasn't dirty or anything, I figured why not: Ad Accepted. Now I'm finding out it's some kind of slam on this Capozzola guy. And Capozzola says it's not even him in the picture, which I also noticed in this post as I was scrolling down just now. (I noticed the picture itself, not that it wasn't Capozzola. I have no idea what Capozzola looks like. And I'm not sure what the hoagie thing is about. Anyway, it's hilarious enough on its own without me trying to explain it, don't you think?)
To Mr. Capozzola, I have to apologize for not realizing that you are famous or something. If you want me to have the ad taken down, let me know and I'll ask the Blogads folks what they can do. To Mr. or Ms. Marduk, congratulations on a funny prank, and thanks for the ad money if I end up getting to keep it. And to anybody else who wants to duke it out in my ads, I'm obviously not very discriminating.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to defend my Bumfights title. This guy with a video camera gave me a bottle of Jack and told me he was my friend!
Update: Maybe it's just this crappy week of getting dragged into a stupid-ass slapfight that had nothing to do with me, and then getting yelled at when I didn't salute properly, but this is bugging me and I'm going to spew about it some more. I guess next time I won't get so excited when somebody buys an ad. It's kind of like giving a little kid a candy bar, and then he opens up the wrapper and it's a dog turd. Except I bit into it before I opened it. Actually, it could be argued that I ate the whole thing in front of everybody and didn't even know anything was wrong. Although that seems pretty unlikely if you've ever tried to eat a dog turd inside a candy wrapper. Which I'm guessing nobody has. What I'm so succinctly trying to say is, no analogy is perfect.
Dear "Blogosphere":
Updated Update: Okay, I figured out what it's like. It's like paying a homeless guy $20 to carry around a sign making fun of your neighbor who you don't like for whatever stupid reason. For a month. What does the bum care, right? Twenty bucks is twenty bucks, he should be happy to get it. Oh, and while I'm bitching about this, was I supposed to know who Capozzola is? Good thing his first name isn't Moxie or I'd really be embarrassed.
Update Update Update: Wait, Marduk is the one with the big yellow ad at Layne's and a bunch of other places, right? Hadn't made the connection. Discretionary income, must be nice.
What's with All the Updates: More about Marduk's ad budget. And then on top of that, he buys more ads linking to somebody he doesn't like to spite them. It's not enough to fight it out on your own blog? You have to take your bullshit to somebody else's? Somebody who in all likelihood doesn't know or care anything about your sad little vendetta? I guess it's not exactly solid marketing technique to piss all over an advertiser, but right now I don't care. The point isn't who's right or wrong in whatever the hell their beef is. The point is, it's not my fight. I shouldn't get dragged into it just because I really needed the twenty bucks. Hell, sixteen bucks after Blogads takes their cut.
One Last Update: And I haven't even started drinking yet. This is your brain on Not Giving A Shit.
One Last Update II: Speaking of me being an idiot, I hadn't even noticed the day and date. Well, I noticed it, but I hadn't thought about it. No wonder I got black cats and stepladders everywhere I go.
One Last Update Vs. Jason: Thanks to Marduk for changing the ad.Posted by Jim Treacher at June 13, 2003 03:37 PM

Introduction 2.3
This is a thorough bible study including every verse that contains the Greek verb μεταμέλομαι, 'metamelomai' meaning 'regret or change the mind' (Strong's 3338) in the New Testament. To obtain a true understanding of this word these scriptures need to be meditated on and notes made of their meaning in different contexts. This requires putting scriptures together where they seem to have a similar meaning, and then meditating even more. The truth will be revealed by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to guide us into all truth (John 16:13). Wherever this word metamelomai appears in the Greek, the translation of it is highlighted with bold and yellow. If the word is in italics then there is no equivalent word for it in the Greek. Every blessing be to those who seek the truth of God's word.

21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
21:32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him: but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him: and you, when you had seen it, did not change your mind afterward, that you might believe him.
27:3 Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, regretted it, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
2 Corinthians 7:8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not regret it, even if I did regret it: for I see that the same letter has made you sorry, even if it was for an hour.

KTRK (Channel 13) anchor Dave Ward is recovering from a fall on the set last Friday, the station said Monday night.
The nature of Ward's injuries was not disclosed, but anchor Gina Gaston said Ward will be sidelined for some time.
"Dave plans on getting back in his chair at the news desk as soon as he gets the medical OK, which could be no more than a few weeks," Gaston said.
Some of blogger Mike McGuff's readers (Mike is a former Channel 13 employee who also has worked at Channel 39) say Ward may have suffered a broken hip.
Ward recently received a lifetime achievement award from the local Emmy chapter.

Goodness, that's a very tidy room for a 17 year old! I never looked in my son's room at that age. His dad actually brought home a caution sign to hang on his door once upon a time. Now, he's very into having a nice space. It's interesting how things and people evolve. He'd love that hat. He loves hats, and sometimes wears a very cool Stetson.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to ye!

A preview of Gnome 3.6 in Quantal
In every new release, Ubuntu loses something from upstream Gnome. This time in Quantal is the drop of Nautilus 3.6 and Gnome Control Center 3.6 (not quite sure about it yet). But things aren't so bad. Thanks to Rico Tzschichholz and Ubuntu Gnome Community people, Gnome 3.6 looks almost perfect in Quantal! And things will get even better in 13.04

Yet for the most part, I was right. Within the tourist bubble, Egypt remains safe to visit. You'll need an ability to go with the flow, however; protests, strikes and riots are still occurring, and probably will continue until the country holds presidential elections in 2012. The American embassy in Cairo sent out an alert to people registered with the State Department to stay away from areas where demonstrations are going on, as did the British Foreign Office.
The selfish benefit to Egypt's upheaval is that most tourists are gone. Of the 400 riverboats licensed to ply the Nile, only 150 are operating now, none with more than 50 percent capacity, River Tosca's hotel manager told me.
Our ship was no different. While River Tosca holds 82 passengers, we never had more than 20 onboard -- which meant we were treated like pashas. No fighting for a lounge chair here; I even received a free spa treatment, simply because the masseuse was bored. You'll never wait in line while visiting the ancient sites, and you'll have the full attention of your tour's Egyptologist. Never have I received such attentive -- and thankful -- service.
There were some downsides. Our low numbers meant we couldn't take our ship up to Dendera, as the Egyptian security forces that patrol that section of the Nile have pulled out (we spent three hours in a van, roundtrip, instead). Another day, an air traffic controllers strike in Cairo held up our excursion to Abu Simbel for several hours, which caused us to reach the temple at the hottest part of the day.
And then there are the touts. At every tour stop, we were accosted by street vendors, some so aggressive they made a few passengers cry. Our guides were loathe to interfere, as violence between touts and tour operators has taken place in Luxor. I armed myself with "La, shukran" (no, thank you), but it still felt like we were running the gauntlet.
I did feel uneasy as I watched the October 9, 2011 violence unfold in Cairo on television and Twitter. But our Uniworld guides assured us that we'd be fine as long as we avoided the downtown area. Our excursion to the Sound and Light show at the Pyramids went on as scheduled (although the seats were only one-third full).
A survey of my fellow passengers found that none felt unsafe during the trip and all were confident in Uniworld's ability to take care of us if security concerns had arisen. So if you're looking for a chance to experience Egypt's wonders without the crowds (and have the run of a riverboat), now's the time to come.
