So true!! My mom is trying to convince me to get my freckles lazered off. She is positive that not only am I going out in the sun too much, but I am not getting enough sleep because my skin is too dark! "Noh moh seh ka meh!"

Oh man, this one hit me hard. My mom was always on my case about keeping my skin white, even when I was outside all the time playing tennis like a good little Korean teenager! Once I got to college, I went through a major goth stage, and got my skin white as snow. But my mom turned traitor on me! "You are too pale! You look sick! Go get some sun!"

Being a simple white man, I can't relate completely. But, I always find it funny when I see a woman walking the streets of Seoul in the afternoon with a folder, book, or other various papers, in her left hand, held above her head to shield her from the life-sapping sun. It's even funnier when the sun is on the right-side. (It happens more often than one might guess.) Well, I suppose appearances must be maintained.

Too funny, yet so true. The pic of the sith lord made me lmao off.

This is a site for people with Korean or at least Asian backgrounds to empathize through the use of humor. Being a "simple white man," you definitely don't understand, so please don't troll this site and leave commentary that denigrates Asians, especially as a foreigner living in a host country.
- August 25, 2008 at 12:29 PM
Hahaha. KARL: you truly put "simple" in the "simple white man." Now, go back to eating your kimchi, watching korean soap operas and hoping to pick up that sixteen year old from the English class you're teaching with your state college degree. LMAO.
- August 25, 2008 at 12:35 PM
This is hilarious, but it prolly doesn't apply to all of us who have Korean moms but non-Korean dads :) My mom is always remarking on how "pretty" my skin tone is, and I'm a nice caramel-y brown.
- August 25, 2008 at 12:55 PM
just found this site and it is AWESOME. Keep up the great work!! This has been the highlight of my day....
btw...I agree with previous comments about yelling in the phone...especially when talking to a relative in korea

Chinese mom too.
In Hong Kong, the pale Filipino maids are more desirable than the darker ones for their pigment might accidentally transferred to their precious grandchildren.
- August 25, 2008 at 2:36 PM
Whats with the angry comments at white dude Karl? I don't think he meant anything negative towards Asians with his comments. Hope I'm not giving you too much credit to Karl (Please confirm, Karl). Karl, its sorta like with Black folks calling each other the "N" word but non-blacks are not allowed to to say the word! But seriously, lets try to everyone get along. We are all destined to become brown one day...
- August 25, 2008 at 2:52 PM
You should mention that Korean Moms and Koreans in general are really obsessed with being some of the most racist, close-minded people on earth. They may think that pale skin is beautiful, but guess what - dark-skinned people look at Koreans and think their slanty eyes and flat noses are unattractive. So don't get so high and mighty because you are pale. In most parts of the world, having a straight nose and large eyes in beautiful.
Also, Korean Christians are the worst!
- August 25, 2008 at 3:11 PM
Ha! I have a Korean MIL who hoards dozens upon dozens of face creams. I was baffled at first, and now I know why :)
- August 25, 2008 at 4:06 PM
Sally, you are not Korean are you? Ironically, I'm Korean and I agree that most Koreans are in fact closed-minded. But I think its mostly a generational thing given that Korea is historically an extremely communal society and very conformist (But there are also plenty of good things that come from this). Give it some time and it would be great if you could help older Koreans (and some younger ones too) see that everyone is beautiful in their own way (though admittedly not an easy task).
The AdCouncil put out a great billboard in time square about the Dalai Lama. Underneath his picture, it says "Doesn't just wish for change but works for it."

Chiyo, I was married to a woman once who was the spitting image, -in thought, word, and deed, of the Korean Mom you describe in such zesty detail. I salute you; you are a Goddess.
But that was 25 years ago, and we are long since divorced. Your Dad might be able to appear in this blog as a sort of guest contributor, to tell about all of the crazy shit Korean wives do.
But I digress. Now my two grown sons have to put up with her...pecadillos...at long distance. My oldest is in Iraq, and I'm sure he thinks it's still too close to mom. Without a doubt, he has nightmares about her dismounting from an MRAP somewhere in Sadr City, looking to make sure her boy is not dating a Muslim.
True story: Long after we were divorced, I get a call from her. As I'm in the pharmaceuticals business, she asked how to go about patenting "a new kind yahk-pum".
Seems she'd been boiling up various kinds of weeds and deer shit (you have to do a piece on that brown ceramic pot they love) and had managed to invent "Sacred Solution".
"What the hell's it for?" I asked.
"You know, if you meet black people, and have to shake their hand or take money from them, or they come to your house and sit on your furniture, you can wash everything off with this, and be okay again." This, pronounced as if she was reading off a just-released press statement from the FDA.
I blew coffee through my nose, all over the documents I had just freshly printed.
"It also..." she continued, "Kills head lice and body crabs, which of course all black people, and most Filipinos have."
About a week and a half later, the UPS truck brings me and the boys a whole case of this shit. I wish to hell I had saved a bottle. The label itself would have gotten your store burned to the ground.

Wow. I certainly didn't mean or expect to get the responses I did. It wasn't meant to be inflammatory, and perhaps if I had excluded my race the responses would have been different.
- August 25, 2008 at 7:55 PM
Oh, come on, Sally. Don't you watch Oprah? Koreans don't have slanty eyes or flat noses because the entire population gets plastic surgery to change these features.
It is funny that a person who would accuse others of racism would stereotype an entire nation as having slanty eyes and flat noses.
I guess your friends, the Spanish Olympic basketball team, missed the flat nose part of the memo.

My mom's driving gloves are white and edged with lace. Purrrrty. And to Karl: I'm KA and I totally agree with your sentiment regarding women holding newspapers on top of their heads outdoors. It's comedy.
- August 25, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Don't sweat it Karl. You were just reporting the facts. The first hundred times I saw this happening in Seoul (I think its mostly city ladies who do this since I don't see it in the countryside) I was thinking, 'is she shielding herself from the sun with a wallet? What the...' It's kind of like seeing someone hold a sheet of newspaper over their head while running through a downpour.
And no, hostile posters, I am not white, but K-A. Karl didn't have to disclose his race and I don't think he said anything close to the Korean equivalent of the n-word.

White socks.
During the run-up to the 1988 Olympics, I was on a team from 1st Special Forces at Fort Lewis, Washington, training with our Korean counterparts, who would be leading security for the Olympics...
We could teach these guys to act and dress like beady-eyed killer ninjas, but when they wnet head-down on a climbing rope in their black get-ups, the legs of their pants would slide, and you'd see...white socks.
After getting out of the Army and going into business, I see the CEO's of several major corporations, wearing $5000 dollar Armani suits, $2000 loafers....with white socks.
So I had to ask my tutor at Yeonsei, "What's the big deal?".
He said: "We think that the clothing that is most likely to get dirty should actually show dirt..."

When I taught in Taiwan the students moms all swore that I used SK2 to get so white - I'm a super pale white Canadian woman (does that exclude me from reading this blog? Or since I have a Korean Korean husband am I allowed back in?)
Silly comments people, obviously the blog is humorous and not just regarding Korean moms; there are some universal standards about all moms in here.
- August 26, 2008 at 9:49 AM
Just got back from a eurotrip with my korean mom who's surprisingly cool about my ever-multiplying population of freckles. It's the other korean moms who kept supplying me with their spf 4000, tacky golf visors, and hideous floral "parasols".. really.. it's just an umbrella people.
- August 26, 2008 at 9:58 AM
Sally: Wow, some of the most racist comments ever on this site have come from you. Ironic. you label others as being racist when your hate-filled message is full of nothing but bigoted stereotypes. I agree with the other blogger with sense on here: how much did the Spanish basketball team pay you?
- August 26, 2008 at 12:09 PM
Korean moms are crazy, but we love the, because they are part of us. This site is, of course, open for everyone to comment, but this doesn't mean it should become a forum for people to vent their hatred for Korean moms. Note how this quickly degenerates into hate-speech directed at Asians. Now, just because you have had experiences with Korean moms doesn't mean this entitles you denigrate them entirely, without any sort of humor involved. Note, humor doesn't involve pulling slanty eyes at people, nor yelling "Ching chong ching chong. Can't you take a joke"? I see well-disguised equivalents of this everyday. Hey, I can't be racist, I'm married to an Asian woman. Hey, I can't be racist, I have a black friend. Give me a break.

To Anonymous with the "potion" story:
That's one hell of a story. And I emphasize, story. You sound crazier than your ex-wife.

what are u trying to say????
i mean whats the point of saying this? this is the limited to korean mom by the way!! and plus, onw woman on the right sidde does not even seem to be korean...isnt she chinese??
- August 26, 2008 at 12:26 PM
I love my slanty eyes and flat nose.
- August 26, 2008 at 1:11 PM
Me too, Jennifer. But I call my eyes "almond" shaped just because it sounds better than "slanty." And my flat nose is still straight, Sally. (Unfortunately, I have a very hard time keeping my sunglasses perched on my face. Sigh... Maybe I should just wear the visor that looks like a welding mask! It would help keep the sun out of my eyes and off my skin! My KM would be so proud. Too bad I'll never do it...)
- August 26, 2008 at 2:35 PM
Wow. That was a bit harsh sally. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, I've read this entire blog and i don't think that there is anything that insinuates that koreans are better or that non-koreans are worse (other than maybe the comments which are outside the control of the authors). Have some maturity and if you do feel that strongly against koreans, then start your own blog called WhyIHateKoreansEspeciallyKoreanChristians.com or something like that.
- August 26, 2008 at 4:17 PM
not so secret looks of despair and shame
Chiyo I wish that's all I got. I come back from a beach vacation and until the tan is 100% gone, all I hear is "WHY DID YOU GET SO DARK?!? AIAAHGGGGH"

I go to the beach and get burrrrned when I want to piss off my grandmother. My mom expresses her disapproval at my tan, but my grandmother completely flips out and agonizes over my ruined future... It's totally worth the pain.
- August 26, 2008 at 11:30 PM
Yeah, what the hell is up with that potion story? Sounds like some bitter venting from a $$$ divorce that happened TWENTY-FIVE years ago. Get over it, guy. This isn't a rag-on-exwife forum.
Chiyo, you rock! I'm guessing that you're an attorney (litigator) and that your trips away are due to depositions and trial work. But I guess we'll never really know ; )
- August 27, 2008 at 1:51 AM
@ anonymous who said..."This is a site for people with Korean or at least Asian backgrounds to empathize through the use of humor."
So, by that logic when Margaret Cho does her comedic bit about her mum, everyone in the audience who is not Korean or of Asian ancestry, should cover their ears?!
I don't have a Korean or Asian mum, but I do have a mum who has her own cultural idiosyncrasies, some the same as what Chiyo so cleverly describes here (ie. Corningware - it transcends nationalities...believe me!)
I will continue to enjoy the blog posts, regardless of whether or not I agree with some of the comments posted by other fans.
Keep up the good work Chiyo!
- August 27, 2008 at 4:46 AM
My mom used to put on a foundation that is at least 2 shades too lighter than her skin tone. Apparently, it was common thing to do in the older days. I do remember someone telling me that the foundation is supposed to be at least one shade lighter than my actual skin tone. This results in freakishly white face with pretty dark neck which conjures up the image of floating head. I'm glad someone finally told my mom about it and she's finally using the correct shade.

Oh my god re: Sith Lord with red lipstick - hahahhaa!
Don't forget! Pale, FLAWLESS skin. When I was in middle school, my mom took me to some Korean esthetician to have every.single.freckle.and.mole. removed from my arms and face. Thanks, Mom! How would I have ever known what a horror I was at the tender age of 13 if it weren't for you...
Incidentally, all my moles and freckles came back. Whoop, there it is!

This site keeps me laughing, and I'm sorta bummed that people are getting all intense, but oh well. I think as a culture, we're still not that great at talking about race, but Chiyo, I think you strike the right note. Poking fun but you love, too. Good! People go from being very sensitive/reactionary to insensitive/inflammatory, I guess we are all still figuring things out. I'm OK with that.

My (korean) mom oh so subtly brags about how all her friends tell her she has great skin. She wants to transfer this source of pride to me and insists that I slather on spf 50 sunscreen on every bit of exposed skin when I go to the store, in my car, to buy milk. But all the same, korean moms, like most moms, do these crazy patience-trying things because they love us.

my sister just sent this link to me and wow, i just cried of laughter. these are so right-on that i showed my mom. she was on the floor laughing, screaming that her beh hurt at the condiments posting. it was probably a month or so ago when i asked my mom for some ketchup and she gave me an old mcdonalds packet. i looked at her warily and knew that this was probably from 1988 or something. it was in fact really old and did not come out red and was an actual poop colored brown.
so funny, chiyo. keep up the blog. i dont get why there are so many ignorant people out there, yellow or white. it just goes to show you that we still need change in this world. change i hope to see in my lifetime.
- August 27, 2008 at 6:36 PM
Sorry this is off topic a bit, but an idea for a Korean mom post: how she was an amazing beauty when she was younger (I've heard this from several KM's over 60 yrs old. Perhaps this is a variation of the "descended from royalty" myth. Along with KM's telling their kids how their father was the top student at his HS/college. How could all of them have been #1 on the college entrance exam?
- August 27, 2008 at 9:38 PM
Love this blog~! I'm married to a Korean lady and, although my mother-in-law is dead (died when my wife was 7 :(, I can definately see little aspects in my honey's personality that will reveal themselves in full once we have children. Her sister back in Seoul is currently forcing the kids on the violin-and-straight-A's path, and I often hear about how Yong-chan (sp?) is a 'very naughty boy' because he fights with his mom and doesn't practice enough.
My wife was 34 when we got married. yep. One of the first things she told me when we were dating was that no Korean man (no *good* Korean man, anyway) would want to have anything to do with her, because of her age. I thought this was the silliest thing I'd ever heard. Later she went back to Seoul and told her family that she had a boyfriend...and that it was an American. Her brother, a buisnessman, was so shocked he could only repeat "what? what?" That said, they were very accepting towards me when I visited. I later asked my wife if the reception would have been the same if I had black skin -- my wife giggled nervously. X|

Well, my mom's advice of wearing hats, sunblock, staying out of the sun is ahead of her time ;)HEHEHE.
When I recently went to the beach..I slathered spf 70 on my face every hour, wore sunglasses that were bigger than my face, huge hat and sat underneath the umbrella most of the day.
Just think peeps.. excessive sun exposure ages the face more quickly! Perhaps that is how our mom's skin looks deceptively younger than their age.. or its all that Shisedo stuff they slather on their face ;)
As my Korean mom would say.. "see, mommey knows best! Listen more!"
- August 29, 2008 at 11:09 AM
On the pale skin standard-- I just have to mention that I saw the funniest thing when I was in Seoul a couple years ago: On a billboard-type advertising for whitening cream, I saw that the woman in the picture was no other than Jessica Alba. For those that have not heard of this actress, she is tan, like I am, and honestly doesn't look like the type to use whitening cream.
But in this picture she looked white-washed a bit in that it was obvious huge white lights were used to take the picture... I just thought it was really funny to see a tan American actress advertising whitening cream :P
@ yg family-- I so hear you on the old condiments!! My Asian grandma keeps LOTS of things past their expiration, passing it off as "still good... I just bought it last week!" Even though it says on the label that it expired 4-6 years ago. She also thinks this applies to soap, clothes, OTC medicines, most food, etc...
- September 6, 2008 at 2:55 AM

- September 19, 2008 at 9:59 PM
The white skin thing is hilarious. My KM also wants a PALE WHITE face and wears foundation that WAY too light. After a while, if she's eaten or something, you can see the darkness around her mouth where she may have licked off some of her pale foundation. God love her... she means well! And now that I'm a KM myself, I wonder if my daughters will be saying the same things about me!!!!!!! (surely not, right???)

I already posted this comment on a previous entry before reading this one, but it is far more appropriate here. Sorry for the double post, but here it is:
As for the sun visors, that is a must-have for just about all Korean mamas, especially the ones that can be propped down to cover their faces when directly facing the sun.
Speaking of sun protection, how about having a pair of long sleeves in the car? I'm not talking about a long-sleeved shirt or sweater. I mean literally two sleeves to cover their arms from the blaring sunshine of a cloudy day.
But these shirtless sleeves don't cover every part of the body. She must use newspapers, towels, or actual screens with suction cups (if your KM doesn't consider it "waste money" over cheap newspapers and old towels) to hang on all car windows (and even windshields...yes, windshields) to block the menacing sun from bringing out any melanin her skin may be hiding. I almost got pulled over once while driving my mom around because of the towel hanging from her passenger window (which I begged her not to use, to no avail). We thought we pulled the towel down quickly enough, but the cop just gave us a menacing look and a "nuh-uh" finger side-to-side motion.
Chiyo...I just found your blog and freakin' LOVE IT!!! You don't know how much it's been crackin' my ass for the past hour. It would have taken half the time, but the tears of laughter are slowing me down. Thanks so much, and I'll be linking your blog from a few of my reference sites!
And I love my Korean mom!!!

OMG- If a Korean mum sees me she might probably take out a cross and hold it up to me. But I'm West Indian so we're naturally dark skinned.

i think a person should neither be too white nor too dark.i am indian and i dont have the best complexion but that doesnt matter.a bit tan looks fabulous.even if my mom was korean i wld have never listened to her ï dont want to look like a pale sick person out of some horrible disease

Yeah it's because it's associated with girls who were of the peasant class. They'd get dark from work under the sun. The rich class girls would be pale because they stayed indoors.
- April 26, 2009 at 8:08 AM
skin color doesn't matter - facial features are what determines if a person is attractive or not.
thank god I don't have slanted small eyes, a flat nose and/or wide nostrils, big cheek bones and a flat butt.
I'm glad I have big gorgeous eyes, a beautiful straight nose with small nostrils, non-oversized cheek bones and a great body!
Koreans will always be seen as less attractive than white, black, and Hispanic women. White, black and Hispanic women have big pretty eyes, and overall better looks than Koreans.
- July 5, 2009 at 5:56 AM
I remember working on my tan back in the day while other korean women were loading up on whitening products for the summer. My mom would wear long sleeves and long pants in korea while using a parasol. She would wear a sunhat or bring a parasol to the beach. My dad used to tell me that I'll get skin cancer if I kept roasting myself.
Well, fast forward to today, I have these awful sun spots that seemed to have appeared and now I'm using whitening creams, sunhats, and parasols. I've even considered lasering them off. Hm, maybe it was wise of her to stay out of the sun...
- July 8, 2009 at 1:19 PM
I'm Korean and I have pale skin but I live in Australia and all the girls here try to look more 'tanned'. So when I went to Korea I was surprised at how all the women get into so much effort to achieve fair skin... I personally think a healthy tone looks much more atractive, look at Lee Hyori!

This is hilarious because Korean moms sound just like the Indian moms :)
Mind you we were lucky that our mom didn't ever make any remarks about our looks but there were always plenty of aunties and grannies to shake their heads and go, "tsk tsk! you keep playing in sun and getting dark...Hai Ram! We are never going to find any boy for you!". LOL! oh those good ol' dames who pushed fair & lovely on us.

You are so accurate on this one. I am in the Sun Tan Lotion business and the Korean market is a hard nut to crack. We should develop some anti-suntan lotion and that would sell much better. Great Blog.
- March 12, 2011 at 4:25 PM
As a KA living in the southern part of the United States, I have become much tanner than any of my Korean counterparts in Korea from all the beachgoing and swimming at school. My mom doesn't worry about it all too much though. She thinks that I can be as different as I want to be and pale little Korean children disgust her.....she thinks they're all sick or something. She never picks at my skin tone, just how I inherited her round face.
So I didn't grow up thinking that I was at all strange or different until I visited Korea this past summer. It was there where I realized that in Korean society, it is absolutely necessary to put on massive amounts of spf 230000 sun screen and shield myself from any sort of contact with sun rays, even if it meant wearing obnoxiously large hats and covering myself up. I was discriminated against at various marketplaces such as DongDaeMun and other markets such as the ones in Chunho. People all assumed that because of my skin color, I was not from around there and would a) raise the prices ridiculously high then when I put the stuff down b) talk crap about me behind my back, assuming that I could not understand them. Countless times, I heard the people complaining on how there was a foreigner at their store and how dark foreigners aren't worth anything.
Coming from fellow Koreans who were supposed to be on my side, I was deeply hurt by all these incidents.
Maybe Korean moms are obsessed with being pale for these reasons. Maybe they want to be saved from the discrimination and the hatred from the fellow Koreans around them. Maybe they want to fit in and believe that they are truly Korean through being pale....
IDK, just my opinion.
- April 6, 2011 at 10:17 PM
I just found this blog and I can't get enough! It reminds me of my mother XD
My Korean mom was not only obsessed with being pale, but the only thing that would be a suitable gift to give her was anti-aging cream. She used it as if it was going out of style. Keep up the amazing posts =)

you cant clearly say yellow tone for yellow tones and pink is for pink undertones. There are MANY exceptions. People dont pick it out that way. There are even people who get into arguments at makeup counters because they are a cool and someone insisted they were a warm.
Alot of times darker toned women like African American/carribean women have to mix more than one foundation ,everyone on earth is different
After years of being a makeup artist. The rule stands true. There are no rules to makeup, only rules of thumb. Nothing called "too anything".I disagree with telling anyone how to wear their foundation/blush/powder/eyeliner/eyeshadow. Makeup is subjective. Everyone has their own makeup style. Many light people tend to go light/lighter or mix it with a luminzer to make themselves brighter/radiant/porcelin like. A great example of this would be dita von teese, who even stays out the sun to maintain her light skintone and wears light foundation. Others prefer to be dark/darker and darken in the sun or use bronzer all over their skintone. Different people have different preferences. If I spelled "Horse" "Howrse" than there is no "ifs" "and" or "buts" because grammar isnt subjective. What is wrong is wrong!However. Makeup is subjective. I hate nude lips. Does that mean its right to say "dont wear nude lips" ? No.
I might not like it but someone else might. There is no rule to makeup. Thats the beauty of being a makeup artist. There are soo many different styles.
I hate bronzer. But maybe there is someone who loves that deep bronzed look. I cant go to them and say "dont go soo deep in the bronzer" and say its "constructive". There are soo many different styles.who is anyone to tell someone theyre wearing a too light or too dark foundation, because there is no such thing. Nicole and Sam from pixiwoo(huge makeupartists in Britain) sometimes wear paler or darker foundation and it looks gorgeous! as long as people blend it to the neck its fine....some people prefer to look bright and radiant.
- December 20, 2011 at 4:09 PM
Asian countries are obsessed with white skin and western countries are in love with the "tanned look".
I live in germany and here many of my friends love to tan and always want to look brown.
I am naturally really pale with dark hair.
2 years ago I always got a tan in the summer and I loved to go to the sun because that's what Western people call beautiful.
Now 2 years later I am studying Korean and because of cultural influence like Korean friends, dramas, CFs( commercials) and a visit in Korea I changed my mind.
I like to stay white like I naturally am and I hate it when friends try to convince me to go to a tanning studio to get brown skin to look healthy. I mean what's the meaning of this ? Why is is "sick" when U are white ? That's So silly but that's what Europeans think. So not only Koreans are discriminating when it comes to skin color.
So I think the cultural influence is the main point here: looking TV, commercials which tell us what's beautiful and what's not, just look at Indian CFs, it's really extreme how white skin is promoted. It's the same in western countries but with the tan look.
So when everybody around u tells you white is beautiful wouldn't you want to be white ? So no wonder Korean moms and people are obsessed with the white look. Of course they are, maybe they get a better partner and better job and and... It all comes with it.
Stil I think wanting to be white is healthier than getting brown all the time. At least your skin is not destroyed from the sunlight( except for aggressive whitening creams). When I see girls here in germany who look like 30 when they are actually 22 or 23 is shocking and it comes from all this tanning studios.so every country is kinda obsessed with skin tone. Sad but true.
I know I am not Korean but I stil wanted to share my opinion on this. It's just really interesting to see how different tastes and opinions can be when it comes to "beauty " ( skincolor).

I wish I had listened to my wise Korean mother about protecting my skin. Now, in my 40's, I have horrible hyperpigmentation that I wish looked like freckles. They are actually precancerous cells that are not only ugly but dangerous. Maybe there's more to it than just loving pale skin. My mom loved the beach and looked great with a tan, so it would've been pretty hypocritical for her to mention sunblock more than once.
My owe ma was an amazing woman who had persevered through many tragedies and I know she loved her children the best she could with what she had. I'm not half the woman my mom was but I'm still trying. I did make Chop Chae for the first time this past year. It was awesome!

Korean mothers are so beautiful. I find them thoroughly gracious and enticing. Somehow mysterious. But I guess I just get tired of looking at sun-crisped bottle blondes with sharp Long Island accents and children in college.

Lenovo Group, the world's fourth maker of PCs, has announced a resource redeployment plan that will help the company increase its efficiencies and become more competitive in the face of the continuing global economic downturn. As parts of the re-organization, the company will reduce headcount and combine certain regional businesses in order to cut down costs. However, the company did not announce expected refocus of its operations.
"Although the integration of the IBM PC business for the past three years was a success, our last quarter's performance did not meet our expectations. We are taking these actions now to ensure that in an uncertain economy, our business operates as efficiently and effectively as possible, and continues to grow in the future," said Yang Yuanqing, Lenovo's chairman of the board.
Lenovo expects to reduce the number of its employees worldwide by 2500 during Q1 2009, approximately 11% of its total workforce. This includes management and executive positions. The company is also reducing expenses in support and staff functions, such as finance, human resources, and marketing.
As part of the restructuring, Lenovo is consolidating its China and Asia Pacific organizations, which are currently run as separate business units, into a single business unit – Asia Pacific and Russia (APR). The new organization will help the company reduce its operating expense and eliminate duplicative support and staff functions.
APR will be headed by Chen Shaopeng, currently senior vice president, and president, Greater China. David Miller, senior vice president and president, Asia Pacific, will remain with Lenovo for a transition period.
Lenovo also announced today that the company is relocating its call center operations from Toronto to Morrisville, North Carolina, the company's main site in North America. This move will enable Lenovo to better leverage its investment in real estate and facilities, and better serve its customers by bringing the call center team closer to its marketing and sales functions.
From these restructuring actions, the company expects to realize savings of approximately $300 million in the 2009/2010 fiscal year (ending March 31, 2010). The company anticipates taking a pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $150 million, most of which will be taken in the fourth fiscal quarter (ending March 31, 2009). Approximately $24 million of the restructuring charges were booked in Lenovo's second fiscal quarter (ending September 30, 2008). The company also expects to report a loss for the third fiscal quarter that ended December 31, 2008.
Lenovo also plans to reduce executive compensation by 30 to 50%, including merit pay and long-term incentives, as well as any performance payments for the coming year. These actions in total will help take advantage of Lenovo's strengths as a global organization to better align its resources with shifting customer demands in the current marketplace.
Additionally, Scott DiValerio, senior vice president and president, Americas, who has led the Americas Group sales organization for the past year, will be leaving the company. The Americas Group will now report to Rory Read, senior vice president, operations, as part of Lenovo's streamlining efforts
"The actions we are taking today are not easy, and we will act with compassion and respect for the individuals in our company who are most affected," said William J. Amelio, Lenovo's president and chief executive officer. "As hard as this news is for all of our Lenovo employees, we believe the steps we are taking today are necessary for Lenovo to compete in today's economy, and in the long run, will help us to continue to deliver exceptionally engineered PCs to our customers worldwide."

I'm currently sick with flu-like symptoms. Because my fever is pretty high (was 104 for 3 days and only broke yesterday to 101-102) my doc did a lot of tests. All came back negative. Just waiting on a strep throat test.
She prescribed antibotics "Azithromycin" and said it was "okay" while breastfeeding. I didn't think to question her as she seems pretty knowledgeable about breastfeeding (she suggested claritin-d for my congestion, but said it could reduce my milk supply - so I thought she was knowledgeable since I also read that in the forums here once).
Anyways, I did some research online and Azithromycin is not the "preferred" antibotic for breastfeeding moms. From my reading, "Erythromycin" seems to be better.
I'm starting to feel better and my fever is coming down with some tylenol. The one presribed isn't on the Kellymom.com's list of AAP breastfeeding list (http://kellymom.com/health/meds/aap-...ml#Antibiotics), but the other one is.
I made a call back to the doctor, but she is out today and tomorrow. Have any of you mamas taken either of these antibiotics? Should I/Can I insist that I get prescribed the one that is on the AAP list?

Michigan City, IN
The Waste, Inc. Landfill site, located in Michigan City, Indiana, is composed of 32 acres and is situated on a former wetland area. The site includes the original 16 acre NPL site as well as the immediately adjacent Lin-See site which was added during the RI because the landfilling operations were also conducted on this property. From 1966 to 1982, the landfill accepted approximately 128,000 tons of industrial wastes. The landfill was unlined, and there were no dikes to control runoff. Originally, the site sloped down to Trail Creek, but now the landfill rises 50 feet above the surrounding terrain. In 1983, the site was sampled by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), and heavy metals, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs), polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs), and other organic compounds were found in the sediment of Trail Creek, which borders the landfill. Approximately 11,300 people live within one mile of the site, and approximately 2,100 people depend on private wells located within three miles of the site for their drinking water. The site drains into Trail Creek, which is used for recreational purposes and discharges to Lake Michigan. The Michigan City Water Works, serving approximately 32,000 people, draws water from intakes in Lake Michigan located less than three miles downstream of the site.

Latest Update
Cleanup Progress
In December 1995, U.S. EPA issued a Unilateral Order to a group of potentially responsible parties (PRPs) to perform the Remedial Design and Remedial Action (RD/RA) at the site. Sixteen PRPs complied with the Unilateral Order in a letter dated January 8, 1996. The RD was completed in September 1996. Remedy construction was separated into two phases. Phase 1 construction commenced in September 1996. Phase 1 construction activities consisted of clearing and grubbing activities; waste consolidation; proper abandonment of an onsite water well; removal and disposal of an onsite underground fuel storage tank; placement of fish advisory signs along Trail Creek; slip lining of an active sewer line that ran beneath the western portion of the landfill; and the installation of a leachate collection system to collect shallow groundwater and leachate. The collected shallow groundwater and leachate is being sent to the Michigan City Sanitary District (the District) through a dedicated discharge line under the terms of a permit, signed by the PRPs and the District.
Phase 2 construction commenced in March 1997 and consisted of the landfill cap and the gas collection system. A pre-final inspection was conducted at the site on September 17, 1997, and a final inspection was conducted on October 15, 1997. All outstanding construction issues have been resolved. A Preliminary Site Closeout Report was signed in December 1998, and the site is now considered construction complete.
A letter approving the monitoring requirements at the request of the PRPs based on remedy monitoring data was sent in July 1999. The first five-year review was completed in September 2001 which determined that the site remedy is protective of human health and the environment. Subsequent site inspections have shown the remedy is performing as designed.
The second five year review was completed in September 2006, which also determined that the site remedy is protective of human health and the environment. The site is eligible for NPL deletion and deletion will be considered during 2007 . All performance standards for the remedy continue to be met.
The site was deleted in fall 2008 and a five year review is scheduled for 2011. Potential site redevelopment continues to be pursued. A Final Closeout Report was signed in April 2008.
Success StoryEPA involvement of the local community in much of the remedy planning resulted in positive interaction and press. A local environmental group was asked to design the fish advisory signs for Trail Creek, which were adopted and remain at the site today. EPA was also able to resolve potentially disruptive enforcement activities with the involvement of many local businesses in a positive manner, enabling their support as well as implementing the remedy without delays.


text: My LO is two weeks old today. I had to initially use nipple shields because of nipples that wanted to disappear when he tried to latch. We were able to breast feed very well with them and I know that i got my supply up and running at the beginning. Of course, i have tried to wean him off the shields and to the breast which has worked very well. I felt the shields served their purpose and have completely breast feed him without the shields all day yesterday and today. Today, though, he has been wanting to feed every two hours and sometimes it seems like while he is sucking i don't hear the swallowing. I have checked his latch and all parts are in the right place. Tonight I just finished letting him suck for quite a while and he started getting fussy and pulling at me. Once finished he seemed to be rooting again like he was still hungry! i am not leaking like I was and I honestly can't tell if my breasts are full before or inbetween feedings. I had engorgement when my milk came in last week but that has subsided. Are these things that should still be happening? I'm afraid that now I'm not producing enough. i can still get milk to come out when i check them, but i don't understand why he would still act hungry? He has had wet and dirty diapers all day long. If my production is slowing, when would i notice this in his diapers? I desperately want to continue breastfeeding and want to catch any problems early on!

Racing roundup: Busch wins Nationwide, Dixon prevails in TorontoTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | July 14,2013LOUDON, N.H. Kyle Busch overcame three attempts at a green-white checkered finish to keep his lead and win the Nationwide Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Busch won his seventh race of the season Saturday in NASCARs second-tier series. He snapped a four-race winless streak and won his 58th career Nationwide race.
He had to go long to win this one. Because of the three green-white checkered attempts, the race went 213 laps. It was scheduled for 200.
Busch had enough fuel left in the tank to last the 13 extra laps, allowing him to win from the pole for the fourth time this season.
Brian Vickers was second and Austin Dillon third. Brian Scott and Michael Annett round out the top five.
Dixon overtakes
Bourdais in Toronto
TORONTO Scott Dixon passed Sebastien Bourdais with nine laps to go Saturday to win on the street course at Toronto.
Its Dixons second consecutive win after picking up his first victory of the season last weekend at Pocono.
The 31st win of his career moved him into a tie for seventh on the all-time win list with teammate Dario Franchitti, Bourdais and Paul Tracy.
Bourdais was second in his first podium finish since the 2007 Champ Car season.
Franchitti was third after giving up the position to Will Power on the last lap, but Power couldnt make the pass stick as he hit the tire barrier after slipping ahead.
IndyCar penalized Franchitti after the race for blocking Power, issuing a 25-second penalty that took him out of third place.

- LEDA 074886: a remarkable rectangular-looking galaxy
- Author(s)
- Graham, Alister W.; Spitler, Lee R.; Forbes, Duncan A.; Lisker, Thorsten; Moore, Ben; Janz, Joachim
- Abstract
- We report the discovery of an interesting and rare, rectangular-shaped galaxy. At a distance of 21 Mpc, the dwarf galaxy LEDA 074886 has an absolute R-band magnitude of -17.3 mag. Adding to this galaxy's intrigue is the presence of an embedded, edge-on stellar disk (of extent 2Re,disk = 12 arcseconds = 1.2 kpc) for which Forbes et al. reported Vrot/σ ∝ 1.4. We speculate that this galaxy may be the remnant of two (nearly edge-one) merged disk galaxies in which the initial gas was driven inward and subsequently formed the inner disk, while the stars at larger radii effectively experienced a dissipationless merger event resulting in this 'emerald cut galaxy' having very boxy isophotes with a4/a = -0.05 to -0.08 from 3 to 5 kpc. This galaxy suggests that knowledge from simulations of both 'wet' and 'dry' galaxy mergers may need to be combined to properly understand the various paths that galaxy evolution can take, with a particular relevance to blue elliptical galaxies.

Starring veteran actor Michael Gambon (Cranford, Harry Potter) and mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins, A Christmas Carol promises a clever twist on a much-loved tale. Amy and Rory are trapped on a crashing space liner, and the only way the Doctor can rescue them is to save the soul of a lonely old miser. But is Kazran Sardick, the richest man in Sardicktown, beyond redemption? And what is lurking in the fogs of Christmas Eve?
It's the deepest part of winter, the exact midpoint, Christmas Eve. Amy and Rory are trapped on a stricken space liner that's plummeting through banks of thick icy fog to the surface of the planet below. Only one man has the power to have them; only one man is in possession of a machine that can clear the fog and let them land safely. That man is Kazran Sardick, a rich but lonely old miser who rules Sardicktown with a sky-mast of iron.
The Doctor's only chance of rescuing the ship's 4,000 passengers is to save Kazran's soul and show him that life is worth living. For this he needs to go back, way back, to when Kazran was a boy with a life full of promise. But can the Doctor put a song in Kazran's heart and love in his life, in time for Christmas? Can he bring him out of the dark?

Music Review: Inspired performance by local prosBy Jim Lowe
COLCHESTER — When the Burlington Chamber Orchestra formed in 2007, its mere existence was a landmark. It was the first time there were enough professional string players in the greater Burlington area to make such an ensemble even a possibility.
Saturday at St. Michael's College, the orchestra achieved another milestone, proving itself capable with excellent performances delivering a powerful and beautiful musical message.
It's no accident that this evening of inspired performances came during what has come to be an annual residency by violinist Soovin Kim, a product of the Vermont Youth Orchestra — as are many members of the BCO — who has gone on to an international solo career.
The concert (which was repeated Sunday afternoon) culminated with Mozart's gloriously lyrical Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat Major, K. 364. Violinist Kim and violist Mary SangHyun Yong, a fellow Marlboro Music Festival alum, proved outstanding soloists, delivering just the right combination of expressiveness and restraint to deliver the work's sublime Classical power.
Kim, very familiar to Vermont audiences despite living in New York, played with his characteristic skill and lyricism, but this was more sensitive and elegant than previous Mozart performances. Yong matched Kim all the way, barely restraining her enthusiasm, with a rich sound and musical warmth.
The strings and the winds, led by Kim from the violin, played not only cohesively but with warmth and elegance. The joy of their music-making, obvious from the many smiles among the players, infected an enthusiastic audience.
For the first half of the program, Kim led the BCO strings in some intriguing music. Although well known, Sibelius' "Valse Triste," Opus 44, No. 1, took on a new intimacy in Saturday's performance as it worked its way through its quietly dramatic journey. In Kim's arrangement for strings (eliminating winds and timpani), it proved compelling chamber music.
The concert opened with Kim and BCO principal players performing the String Sextet from Richard Strauss' opera "Capriccio," Opus 85. While the lines weren't always clear, Strauss' trademark quirky harmonic and rhythmic lyricism was delivered with warmth and depth. It's an intriguing work that was played convincingly.
The program was rounded out by lyrical works of Edvard Grieg, "Badnlat" from Two Lyric Pieces, Opus "Kulokk & Stabbelaten" from Two Nordic Melodies, Opus 63. Led by Kim, the BCO strings performed warmly.
Saturday's concert proved an inspired and inspiring experience.

A-B College prepares for spring cleaning
Alderson-Broaddus is looking for community members in need of helping hands for yard work and small home repairs.
The Office of Student Affairs is hosting Do Good Weekend April 26 to 28. On April 27, A-B students and faculty plan to volunteer in the community by assisting Philippi residents with spring cleaning, such as raking, gardening and small repairs. Do Good Weekend is an annual event for A-B, but this is the first year the college is incorporating a spring cleaning event.
Sarah Geist, community outreach coordinator, said A-B always is looking for ways to give back to the Philippi community.
"We've noticed that some of our elderly and disabled community members are unable to tend to their yards and homes, especially after Superstorm Sandy. So we'd love to take advantage of the beautiful spring weather and lend a helping hand," Geist said.
Other events planned for Do Good Weekend include volunteering with Code Blue Youth Center, visiting Mansfield Place, hosting a Community U event on campus and a campus beautification project.
Anyone who needs assistance or knows of someone else who needs assistance for spring cleaning can contact Geist at email@example.com or 304-457-6235.

So my new PIS is coming by courier tomorrow. I pumped a little early on (starting at about 4 or 5 weeks, DD is now 4.5 months) but stopped at around 2 months because of some OALD and engorgement and because DD was refusing the bottle anyways, so it seemed futile. I'm going back to work in 2 months, and now starting in earnest to try daily with the sippy cup to eventually get LO onto EBM in that.
My question: I don't want my oversupply and OALD to come back. Now at 4.5 months, my letdown is after about a minute of sucking, and my breasts are comfortable. I'm hoping I can comfortably pump once a day. Should I pump both sides? One side while feeding DD? I have the best luck first thing in the morning (DD is a good sleeper), but I don't really want to pump while feeding since I really enjoy our morning time together, and I don't want to ruin it with a noisy pump. Any tips on when/how often/single/double pumping? I know I have to go gently about it given my abundant supply, but I also want to start building up a stash in my freezer by pumping daily. I also hope I can get more with the PIS than with my single mini-electric.
Experience/advice appreciated. Thanks mums.

Truck damages Latchis marqueeOctober 11,2012BRATTLEBORO — History seems doomed to repeat itself when it comes to the Latchis Theatre marquee.
The historic building's marquee on Main Street, which displays film titles shown at the theater, suffered damage for the second time in 15 months Tuesday afternoon, both incidents the result of apparently lackadaisical truck drivers, the Keene Sentinel reported.
The first incident occurred last summer, when a truck driver grew impatient with halted Main Street traffic and drove onto the sidewalk, colliding with the marquee in the process.
This time, surveillance footage showed a truck from Blue Mountain Produce of Wilmington hitting the marquee at 3:21 p.m., although it didn't appear the truck had driven onto the sidewalk, said Gail Nunziata, executive director of Latchis Arts.
"I don't know why it happens, I wish I did," she said. "We have to really study it and try to see what might (have) happened."
How much it will cost to fix the marquee — which was finally repaired in August following the previous incident — remains unclear, although the physical damage is more surface and less structural this time.
"We're going to send a picture of it to the people that made the sign in Ohio, and see what they say," she said.
As for who will cover the cost of repairs, Nunziata said it's being worked out.
The truck driver "knew he was responsible, and acted responsibly," she said.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...

Chicago - My term as Chairman of the Illinois State
Board of Education has expired and the Governor is expected
to appoint a new Chairman shortly. I will continue to serve
as Chairman until the new appointment is made and I will remain
a member of the board until my term expires in January 2005.
I am grateful for the privilege of having served as chairman
since April 1999. During that time, my colleagues and I have
made a number of accomplishments including:
However, we, the people of Illinois, have a long road ahead
of us to truly make the education of our children second to
There is nothing more important in our society than our children.
That's why I personally launched and funded the Students First
Foundation (www.studentsfirst.us).
I am honored that former U.S. Senator Paul Simon and thousands
of individual citizens from across the state are working with
Students First to protect the future of our children and the
future of the state of Illinois.
As a Board member, President and Founder of the Students
First Foundation, a parent and a private citizen who has invested
decades in our children, I will continue to work with the
State Board of Education, the General Assembly, the local
schools and most importantly serve Illinois' 2.2 million schoolchildren.

However, as a post from the sometimes not so safe for work humor website Cracked.com points out, the geography does not work out.
The Austrian state of Salzburg does share a border with Italy but not Switzerland. In reality the family fled through Italy rather than Switzerland. While the foot crossing the Swiss Alps provided a beautiful ending to the movie, real-world complex political geography due to the collapse of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire allowed for the family's departure. According to the National Archives:
The von Trapps traveled to Italy, not Switzerland. Georg was born in Zadar (now in Croatia), which at that time was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Zadar became part of Italy in 1920, and Georg was thus an Italian citizen, and his wife and children as well. The family had a contract with an American booking agent when they left Austria. They contacted the agent from Italy and requested fare to America.
Traveling with their musical conductor, Rev. Franz Wasner, and secretary, Martha Zochbauer, they went by train to Italy in June, later to London, and by September were on a ship to New York to begin a concert tour in PennsylvaniaThe movie not only changed the history and names of family members but the geography as well.

I think you are right... this is a huge mistake. Warhol's less than personal expression lightens the load, and is a gift to viewer. This kind of re-thinking of Warhol is just what Warhol was getting us away from.... ponderous pondering of selves that don't really exist anyway.
Ketner is in the camp that nothing really happened after Abstract Expressionism. By finding deep personal meanings in Warhol's work Ketner erases the work more than understands it.

Wonderful Weddings in Tempe, Arizona
January 10, 2013
It is that time of the year again, the "busy" season, when wedding planning in Arizona is in full-swing. Tempe Mission Palms prides itself on hosting beautiful ceremonies, receptions, and wedding-related events with unparalleled expertise, so that brides and grooms are able to relax and enjoy their special day. Recently, we had the chance to sit down and talk with our Tempe Mission Palms senior catering manager and wedding expert, Rachelle DeYoung.
TMPH: What is your #1 wedding planning tip for a bride-to-be?
RD: Pick your venue first because it helps everything fall into place.
TMPH: What is your #1 wedding planning tip for a groom-to-be?
RD: Take an active role in planning!
TMPH: What is your favorite thing about weddings and/or receptions at TMPH?
RD: I love that you can hold all of your wedding events here and every one of them can be different. Engagement party on the poolside terrace, rehearsal dinner in the Mission Grille, welcome reception for your out of town guests in the Courtyard, grooms lunch in Harry's Lounge, ceremony in front of the Courtyard Fountain, cocktail reception on the Abbey Patio, wedding reception and dinner in the Abbey, after party on Mill avenue and farewell brunch in the Cloister! A few years later, call us about the Joshua Tree – the perfect baby shower venue!
TMPH: You are new to TMPH, but you have been in the industry for a long time. What is the craziest or most interesting wedding detail you have had?
RD: "Dia de los Muertos" Wedding… picture a black wedding dress, day of the dead dancers in full face makeup dancing to live mariachis, beautifully hand painted skulls on the tables with vibrant paper flowers and Skeleton statues framing the remembrance table which held photos of loved ones who have passed on and special traits to remember them such as coffee and a cigarette for grandma and an iced tea and playing cards for auntie. This table also held the wedding cake, which was red velvet. It was very unique, but such a beautiful event!
TMPH: What is the most "forgotten" item on the wedding day?
RD: Brides tend to get so busy on the day of their wedding that they forget to eat! It is simple to plan ahead for a small continental breakfast and a deli lunch to be delivered to your room. You can arrange the same thing for the guys, we will just send it to their room so the boys don't see the bride before the First Look!
TMPH: Share with us your favorite picture of a wedding here at TMPH.
RD: That's easy, I love this photo with the unique camera lens and courtyard view.

I am a Stay-At-Home-Mom, so I want to mainly nurse/breastfeed. How do I start pumping up a supply and still have enough milk left to nurse her? My fear is pumping all my milk out only to have her wake up hungry immediately after. Is there a good place to look for information? I'm sorry if this is already posted somewhere...I am new to this site. Thanks in advance! :-)

"We've talked about it for the last year," Holt said.
"I want to try to pursue some other opportunities," he added.
Holt said he has nothing but thanks and good to say about George West players, parents, teachers and administrators.
"I'm not closing the door on coaching," he said.
A state program called Retire/Rehire allows teachers to retire and not lose the ability to be rehired.
Holt said he will use the Retire/Rehire program to lay out a year and see what opportunities are available.
"We have no ideas what doors will open. I have a lot of faith that something will open up," he said.
Holt's wife, Gwen, is the George West math department's chair.
"What we do depends on what she (Gwen) does," Holt said.
But he emphasized that his tenure at George West High School was "unbelieveable."
"Five years before and six years this time for 11 years have been terrific," he said.
He praised the seniors graduating this year, citing four district titles in four years and resulting in a 23-1 district record.
Holt's coaching job effectively will end in June.
The George West school board agenda has a closed session Wednesday night to discuss the athletic director position.
No one at the school district was available to comment on Holt's resignation prior to this week's Progress.

News Release from the office of Senator Carlos Uresti
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEMarch 25, 2009CONTACT: Mark Langford at 512.463.0119
Senate committee passes protective order bill
A bill sponsored by Sen. Carlos Uresti to toughen state laws on protective orders cleared its first legislative hurdle Tuesday.
The Senate Criminal Justice Committee approved SB843 on a vote of 5-0 and certified it for inclusion on the Local and Consent Calendar, greatly enhancing Senate passage.
"The committee's quick action shows that my Senate colleagues recognize the need to fill a gap in state law that made some people ineligible for protective orders," Uresti said. "Under this bill, anyone endangered by a broken or dysfunctional relationship will receive the full protection of the law."
The legislation, spurred by the Feb. 10 slaying of Kristy Appleby, will allow protective orders to be obtained by people who are not involved in an intimate relationship. Appleby, 32, had sought a protective order against the woman now charged in her death after a prior attack, but it was denied.
Earlier Tuesday, the Senate unanimously adopted a memorial resolution for Kristy and adjourned in her honor. Several family members later testified before the committee in support of the bill, which Uresti said will close a loophole in the law that left some potential victims vulnerable.
"Though Kristy is no longer with us, we still owe her a large measure of responsibility," Uresti said. "Though she cannot benefit from this change in the law, many others will."
Carlos Uresti is the senator from State Senate District 19 representing over 750,000 residents throughout a 23 county area stretching along the U.S.-Mexico border, from San Antonio to El Paso County, including all or part of the following: Bandera, Bexar, Brewster, Culberson, Crockett, El Paso, Edwards, Hudspeth, Jeff Davis, Kinney, Loving, Maverick, Medina, Pecos, Presidio, Real, Reeves, Sutton, Terrell, Uvalde, Val Verde, Ward, and Winkler counties. Covering 55,000 square miles, the district contains 62 school districts and spans two time zones.

U.S. News & World Report evaluated and ranked several diets with input from a panel of health experts. The criteria followed includes how easy the diet is to follow, how nutritious, safe and effective for weight loss the diet is and how it fares in the fight against diabetes and heart disease.
Take a look at the best and worst diets for 2014:
Best Diets
9 (tie). Ornish Diet
The Ornish Diet got a mixed reaction from experts. On one hand, it's nutritionally sound, safe, and tremendously heart-healthy. On the other, it's not easy for dieters to adhere to the severe fat restriction the diet demands.
9 (tie). Biggest Loser Diet
The Biggest Loser Diet received high marks for short-term weight loss, safety, and soundness as a regimen for diabetes, and it was rated moderately effective for heart health. But many panelists felt that in a sea of diets, it's not overly special, and one said it's merely "capitalizing on the name" of the popular TV show.
8. Jenny Craig
Jenny Craig drew praise from experts for being easy to follow, nutritionally complete and safe, and for offering dieters emotional support. But these experts also noted that Jenny Craig's cost could be a roadblock for some.
6 (tie). Volumetrics Diet
Volumetrics outperformed its competitors in many categories. It earned particularly high marks for being safe and nutritious, and experts said it could have a positive effect on heart health and diabetes. "This is an eating plan that everyone can benefit from," one expert said.
6 (tie). Flexitarian Diet
The Flexitarian diet, which emphasizes fruits, veggies, whole grains, and plant-based protein, is a smart and healthy choice. It outperformed many of its competitors, with particularly high scores in nutritional completeness, easiness to follow, and long-term weight loss.
3 (tie). Weight Watchers Diet
Weight Watchers is a smart, effective diet. It surpassed other commercial diet plans in multiple areas, including short- and long-term weight loss and how easy it is to follow. Among its pluses: An emphasis on group support, lots of fruits and vegetables, and room for occasional indulgences.
3 (tie). Mediterranean Diet
With its emphasis on fruits and vegetables, olive oil, fish, and other healthy fare, the Mediterranean diet is eminently sensible. And experts' assessments of it were resoundingly positive, giving this diet an edge over many competitors.
3 (tie). Mayo Clinic Diet
This is the Mayo's take on how to make healthy eating a lifelong habit. It earned especially high ratings from our experts for its nutrition and safety and as a tool against diabetes. Experts found it moderately effective for weight loss.
2. TLC Diet
Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes, or TLC is a very solid diet plan created by the National Institutes of Health. It has no major weaknesses, and it's particularly good at promoting cardiovascular health all while requiring a "do-it-yourself" approach.
1. DASH Diet
DASH was developed to fight high blood pressure, not as an all-purpose diet. It gets high marks for its nutritional completeness, safety, ability to prevent or control diabetes, and role in supporting heart health. Though obscure, it beat out a field full of better-known diets.
Worst Diets
9. (tie) Eco-Atkins Diet
It's summed up by one expert as a "healthier version of the Atkins diet," but U.S. News & World Report says it's even more restrictive and little guidance is available.
9. (tie) Glycemic Index Diet
This diet distinguishes "good" carbs from "bad." It scored particularly low on long-term weight loss, heart benefits and ease of adherence.
9. (tie) Zone Diet
It's "unnecessary and tedious to structure every meal around specific macronutrient thresholds," one expert told U.S. News & World Report of this diet. Another stated there is "no magic with the diet."
7. (tie) Macrobiotic Diet
Following the plan is a challenge, according to several experts, mainly because it's such an extreme change from the standard American diet. And it's awfully strict.
7. (tie) Medifast
This diet scored above average in short-term weight loss, but was dragged down by lower marks in most other categories.
5. Acid Alkaline Diet
This diet performed particularly poorly in overall weight loss and easiness to follow. And don't expect it to have a positive effect on diabetes or heart disease management or prevention, experts say.
4. The Fast Diet
The widespread concern among experts about this diet's lack of nutritional guidance on non-fasting days contributed to its poor overall performance, according to U.S. News & World Report.
3. (tie) Atkins Diet
Although it could outperform nearly all of its competitors in short-term weight loss, unfavorable marks in other areas -- including long-term weight loss, nutrition, safety and heart health -- yanked down Atkins in the standings.
1. (tie) Dukan Diet
This low-carb diet's overall score was more than a full star below average. It's too restrictive and experts say there's no evidence it works. One described the diet as "idiotic."
1. (tie) Paleo Diet
Experts took issue with this popular diet on every measure. "A true Paleo diet might be a great option: very lean, pure meats, lots of wild plants," said one expert. But duplicating such a regimen in modern times would be difficult.

"One day, on my way back from work, I tuned-in to what used to be my favorite station and started listening to Catholic Answers Live. Slowly, the hard shell that had been built around me started breaking apart every time I listened to your show. There have been several programs that have touched me very deeply, even to the point of tears."
