Who Wants to Kill Birds?
Grumpy loves birds. He fills his feeder twice a day. So imagine his shock when he learned that Scott's Miracle-Gro admitted to selling bird seed tainted with pesticides. Was Scott's, the maker of a slew of popular lawn and garden products, in league with the devil? To find out, Grumpy paid the company a visit last week at their corporate headquarters in Marysville, Ohio.
Here's the Poop
A few years back, Scott's decided to diversify its business by selling its own line of bird seed. It bought a bird seed company that had been in the business for years without incident and starting marketing its product under the Scott's name. Unfortunately, Scott's neglected to "look under the hood" and thoroughly investigate the product it had acquired. And that's what got them into big trouble with the Feds and even bigger trouble with the small, but very shrill, Scott's-hating crowd.
Toxic Seed
See, the seed company they bought didn't want bird seed in storage to be ravaged by insects. (Leave an open box of oatmeal in your pantry for a year and see what crawls out.) So they'd been treating it with two insecticides to prevent this. Problem is, the insecticides were toxic to birds. Stupid, huh? Yep.
Some Scott's employees discovered this around 2008 and notified middle management. For some reason (probably fear of retaining their jobs), the middle management people delayed telling upper management about this for months. When upper management finally got wind of the truth, they immediately recalled all the tainted seed and notified EPA of the problem. Oh yeah, and they fired the middle managers who hadn't spoken up right away.
EPA Lowers the Boom
The Environmental Protection Agency, not known as a laugh-a-minute crowd, was not amused. After assessing the situation, it fined Scott's $4 million for not doing its due diligence. Scott's paid up, removed the offending pesticides from the bird seed, and now sells seed that officially passes muster.
Are the Scott's Haters Happy Now?
Of course not. They won't be happy as long as Scott's remains in business. You don't have to search far in the blogosphere to find dozens of crazed, lathered-up posts with titles like "Scott's Bird Seed Kills Birds" and "Scott's Miracle-Gro — the bird-killing company." So what exactly befell the bird population while Scott's was selling the tainted seed?
As far as anybody can tell, pretty much nothing. Grumpy's meeting with Scott's included TV, radio, blog, and print media from all over the country. I posed this question to the group: "Have any of you witnessed or heard of any large bird kills in your area traced to tainted bird seed?"
No hands went up. The EPA has no evidence of any incidents either. Granted, Scott's only controlled about 10% of the bird seed market at the time, but the truth remains — far more birds die from flying into living room windows every year than ever succumbed to toxic bird seed.
Full Disclosure
Scott's paid my airfare and lodging for my visit. The Scott's haters will immediately conclude that Grumpy was bought. Not so. I only agreed to hear Scott's side of the story with no promise that I would report on it positively, negatively, or at all. Lots of companies in the garden industry send me stuff. If I try a product out and conclude that it's good for my audience, I recommend it. If I don't, you never hear about it.
In conclusion, Grumpy bets that Scott's will much more thoroughly investigate companies it acquires in the future. In the meantime, I will continue to feed my birdies twice a day — using Scott's, Pennington's, or Cole's bird seed — with a clear conscience. Chirp!

Before ordering, I spoke to a customer service person who assured me that the Thule Sidekick would fit onto the roof rack of a VW Touareg. This was not quite true. I had to replace the plastic threaded nuts with washers and wing nuts because the 4 hooks that attach the box to the roof rack are too short for this vehicles rack.

It was not possible to get our small SUV in our garage when a roof box was on. As near as I can tell, Thule only offers 15" high boxes for my vehicle. This inno box measures 13" high which means it fits through our 7' garage door while on the car. I bought it for this reason alone but the quality is very impressive. I look forward to many road trips with it. It arrived flawlessly and was well packaged.

Microvascular Decompression
Our neurosurgeons at the Center for Neuromodulation are experts in microvascular decompression, a surgical procedure that is used to treat a variety of conditions of pain conditions, such as:
- Trigeminal neuralgia
- Tinnitus
- Hemifacial spasm
- Glossopharyngeal neuralgia
Microvascular decompression works by relieving the pressure of the pulsating blood vessel from the painful nerve, which is the cause of the pain condition. "As the affected cranial nerve exits the brain stem it is abnormally compressed by a particular blood vessel and causes various outcomes such as trigeminal neuralgia," says Dr. Brian Kopell, Director of the Center for Neuromodulation at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Minimally Invasive Procedure to Treat Pain Conditions
While different cranial nerves and blood vessels are involved in different pain conditions, the microvascular surgical remedy is much the same in all of the cases. The neurosurgeon makes a small opening behind the patient's ear (this entails a one-inch in diameter craniotomy to temporarily remove bone), locates the offending blood vessel that is pulsing and compressing the nerve, and moves the blood vessel away from the nerve. The surgeon then inserts a tiny Teflon sponge to separate the nerve from the blood vessel and cocoon the nerve from future insults.
While nerve compressions can sometimes be visualized with imaging techniques, surgical exploration is often required to make a definitive diagnosis and, if present, the above treating procedure completed. A one to two day hospital stay if usually indicated post-operatively.
Microvasculature decompression surgeries require general anesthesia and this procedure is reserved for patients that have failed to respond to more conservative pain management methods. It may also be beneficial to patients who wish to avoid facial numbness that can result from other treatment interventions.

By Shari Geller
Yesterday Phil Ivey announced that he had filed suit against Tiltware (the parent company of Full Tilt Poker) and today the actual complaint was released. In it, Ivey brings six separate causes of action all arising out of the same general claims – that Ivey is being prevented by a noncompetition agreement from entering into other business opportunities following Full Tilt's recent indictment and that Full Tilt's conduct has irreparably damaged Ivey's reputation. Ivey is seeking damages in excess of $150 million.
In the complaint, Ivey alleges that he entered into an agreement with Tiltware in February, 2004, under which Tiltware agreed "to provide software and related support to Full Tilt Poker for the conduct of legal online poker." For his part, Ivey agreed to lend his significant star power to endorse Full Tilt Poker with his name and likeness. He also agreed to a noncompetition covenant which prevented him from engaging or investing in any activity that was in competition with Tiltware.
Following Full Tilt's indictment, Ivey has requested that he be relieved from the noncompetition covenant and Tiltware has denied this request. Ivey's complaint alleges that Tiltware is in breach of their agreement according to the facts alleged in the Federal Court indictment unsealed on April 15th and that this breach relieves him of his obligations under the noncompetition covenant.
He also alleges additional facts in an attempt to support his complaint. He claims that Full Tilt has engaged in illegal conduct relating to its banking practices, that the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York had placed Full Tilt on notice that its conduct that was illegal, and that Full Tilt failed to warn him or remedy the problem. The complaint also includes the fact that there is approximately $150 million owed to US players and that Full Tilt Poker has not returned any of that money. Ivey alleges that, unbeknownst to him, Full Tilt failed to maintain a reserve account sufficient to satisfy the return of funds to US players.
The complaint also contains allegations that Ivey's personal and professional reputation have been irreparably damaged by Full Tilt's conduct both before and since the indictment. He has been the subject of negative statement by US players, seeking return of their money, claiming that he has the ability to arrange for Full Tilt to return that money or should repay the players out of his own personal funds.
To support the claim that Full Tilt's conduct has damaged Ivey's reputation, the complaint includes quotes from disgruntled poker players posting in the 2 + 2 Poker Forum, including "I hope any sponsored pro at the WSOP catches hell until you (FTP) pay up," "No F'ing way…Ivey will be seen at the WSOP," "Plz tell me that no Full Tilt pros are going to play in the WSOP until you guys pay out," "The fact that they need to 'raise capital in order to pay out the US players' means they never had all the money on them in the first place. Scary."
The six causes of action in the complaint are: Injunctive relief (not really a cause of action, but a remedy), breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, declaratory relief, negligent interference with prospective economic advantage, and tortuous interference with prospective economic advantage.
Ivey is seeking a declaration that he is not bound by the noncompetition covenant as well as unspecified damages for loss of business opportunities and damages to his reputation which he alleges exceeds the amount that Full Tilt owes its US customers -- $150,000,000.
Tiltware issued a statement late today in response to Ivey's complaint:
"Contrary to his sanctimonious public statements, Phil Ivey's meritless lawsuit is about helping just one player – himself. In an effort to further enrich himself at the expense of others, Mr. Ivey appears to have timed his lawsuit to thwart pending deals with several parties that would put money back in players' pockets. In fact, Mr. Ivey has been invited -- and has declined -- to take actions that could assist the company in these efforts, including paying back a large sum of money he owes the site. Tiltware doubts Mr. Ivey's frivolous and self-serving lawsuit will ever get to court. But if it does, the company looks forward to presenting facts demonstrating that Mr. Ivey is putting his own narrow financial interests ahead of the players he professes to help."
The timing and the nature of the claims alleged in the complaint are curious. If Full Tilt Poker is no longer able to conduct its business in the US as a result of Black Friday, relieving Ivey of his obligations under the noncompetition clause should be a rather simple, straight-forward matter. Moreover, claims that Ivey is being prevented from engaging in the business of playing poker makes little sense -- unless all his money is tied up in the Full Tilt accounts. More likely, he has been approached by some company knowing he can get out of his Full Tilt endorsement deal and he wants to take advantage of that opportunity as soon as he can.
Full Tilt's statement that it is Ivey in fact who owes them money as well as their assertion that there were certain actions which Ivey was asked to take that could have helped Full Tilt repay players was clearly designed to try and win the public relations war. But initial reaction is decidedly against the company whose delays in repaying customers, coupled with the impression that the money simply isn't there, has made them Pubilc Enemy No. 1.

The state of Maryland witnessed several couples getting married on the morning of January 1, 2013. They were married in a normal Christian ceremony in which a minister handled the proceedings. But, for the people of Maryland, having two men or two women getting married was now legal, even though it was woman with woman and man with man. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Bake hailed these marriages as marking a new era in which people can marry one another without having the government get in their way.
A mystery of life is why members of the Republican party which insists that government has no right to interfere with people having guns or with their right to take a gun anywhere they damn well please do not accord similar rights to men and women to decide who they marry without interference by government. When it comes to gay rights, Republicans stand for government telling one what to do.

Looking out for one another, whether friends, family, or trusted neighbors. It's the kind of community spirit that America was built on. Whether raising a barn, or working the fields together at harvest time, people had a way of helping each other along. That's still the way we do business at Lincoln Hancock Restoration.
After all, when the unthinkable happens and disaster strikes, we naturally turn to those we count on most, and folks have counted on Lincoln Hancock for years. No one in the industry has as much experience working with community associations as we do. It's a fact. We know how and when to communicate with owners and boards, and are a proactive partner throughout the restoration process.
In March of 2015, a community in Associa Chicagoland suffered a devastating fire. Lincoln Hancock has been there since the beginning to help the community rebuild and recover.
In times of need, we're ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work helping people rebuild and get back to their lives. It's what we do.
"All the workers involved with the project have been great! I have never seen human beings put in such long hours day after day. They have been very considerate of the residents and our property.

The Right Time To Replace Your Printer's Drum CartridgeMay 2, 2011 No Comments
Laser printers are great machines when it comes to heavy printing. However, you need to equip these with the right printer supplies so that you will not have problems with your printing needs.
Most of the time, you need to purchase a set of toner cartridge so that you can continue making your printouts, however there are instances that the laser drum cartridge would also reach its limit and it simply means you have to replace it.
But how will you know if it is the right time to go and purchase a new drum cartridge? Are there signs or messages that your printer will show you?
To help you out, here are some tips that you can check out whenever you are wondering if you should get a spare laser drum unit.
When your printer starts printing blank pages, it simply means that you either consumed all of your laser toners or your drum cartridge is ready for replacement. It would be best to do a quick maintenance to check first. If the papers still come out as blank ones even after doing so, then it's the laser drum unit that's causing this printing issue.
Another clue that your laser drum unit needs to be changed is when you start hearing noises from your laser printer. Most of the time, this printer does not create sounds when functioning so if you have noticed that it has started making weird sounds, then check your drum cartridge if it has been damaged and needs a replacement.
These are just some of the signs that your laser drum cartridge might need to changed. However, always check on your printer's manual so that you can fully understand your printing machine and its supplies as well.

Castello: Collection Bent Egg with Silver (KKKK)
Product Number: 002-386-1452
Sorry, even being close to my all-time favorite Castello shape, the iconic 93 bent Egg, makes me feel like a king. I'd be totally down for a deep-fried peanut butter and bacon sandwich about now, and the fact that this 93 also happens to be a Collection KKKK? To say that I just caught a case of "a hunk, a hunk of burning love" would be akin to stating that Dr. Kent Brantley was flown from West Africa to Emory "due to feeling under the weather".
This is only the second Collection 4K 93 I have personally held, the other is a fluted iteration which is presently on our site. When that first one arrived, I fell head-over-heels, swore an oath of unwavering fidelity to it (until she sold, of course. I mean if she was going to be that fickle. ), and ordered our china pattern. As much as I love contestant number 002-386-1432, the second I saw this sweet smooth shape and impossibly beautiful grain, I started ignoring the texts from the former (though I will still keep some contact; as Chris Rock says, "Cuz ya never know"). Seriously recommended.

South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Lossby Arthur Agatston
So Dr. Agaston
For years, cardiologist Arthur Agaston, M.D. urged his patients to lose weight for the sake of their hearts, but every diet was too hard to follow or its restrictions were too harsh. Some were downright dangerous. Nobody seemed to be able to stick with low-fat regimens for any length of time. And a diet is useless if you can't stick with it.
So Dr. Agaston developed his own. The South Beach Diet isn't complicated, and it doesn't require that you go hungry. You'll enjoy normal-size helpings of meat, poultry, and fish. You'll also eat eggs, cheese, nuts, and vegetables. Snacks are required. You'll learn to avoid the bad carbs, like white flour, white sugar, and baked potatoes. Best of all, you'll lose that stubborn belly fat first!
Dr. Agaston's diet has produced consistently dramatic results (8 to 13 pounds lost in the first 2 weeks!) and has become a media sensation in South Florida. Now you, too, can join the ranks of the fit and fabulous with The South Beach Diet.
Editorial Reviews
"Dr. Agatston is a noted cardiologist who's made many contributions, but The South Beach Diet may be his best. Importantly, this is not 'another diet book.' This is a book about health and well-being. Dr. Agatston does an outstanding job of explaining the importance of the types of food we eat and its impact on preventing illnesses, such as coronary heart disease and diabetes. Not only will you feel better if you follow his diet, but you will look and live better." Randolph P. Martin, M.D., director of noninvasive cardiology at Emory University Hospital, Atlanta
"The real value of the book is its sound nutritional advice." Newsweek
"I have tried every diet-including Weight Watchers, The Zone, Atkins, Jenny Craig-and have had a difficult time staying on those programs. The South Beach Diet is easy, simple, and delicious." Linda Richman, author of I'd Rather Laugh

Read an Excerpt
I'm not a diet doctor.
In fact my career in medicine has been largely devoted to the science of noninvasive cardiac imaging the development of technology that produces sophisticated pictures of the heart and the coronary blood vessels. This allows us to identify problems and treat them early, before they cause heart attack or stroke. In CT (computerized tomography) scanning all over the world, I'm proud to say, the measure of coronary calcium is called the Agatston Score, and the protocol for calcium screening is often referred to as the Agatston Method. I maintain an active, full-time cardiology practice, both clinical and research.
So how is it that I am also responsible for a weight-loss program that has become a phenomenon here in South Florida, a regimen that's helped countless women and men many of them in their twenties and thirties, young enough to be the grandchildren of my usual cardiology patients get down to string-bikini and Speedo-swim-trunks-shape?
I have to admit, I wasn't prepared to find myself on the receiving end of so much buzz. I'm now regularly stopped by people who have seen my TV news appearances or read about the diet's success in newspapers and magazines. Given this city's worldwide image as a mecca of physical beauty and body consciousness and its role as a chic outpost of the fashion industry, it's an unexpected position in which to find myself.
This all started as a serious medical undertaking. Back in the mid-'90s I was but one of many cardiologists who had grown disillusioned with the low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet that the American Heart Association recommended to help us eat properly and maintain healthy weight. None of the low-fat regimens of that era seemed to work reliably, especially over the long haul. My concern was not with my patients' appearance: I wanted to find a diet that would help prevent or reverse the myriad of heart and vascular problems that stem from obesity.
I never found such a diet. Instead, I developed one myself.
Today, I feel nearly as comfortable in the world of nutrition as I do among cardiologists. I speak regularly before physicians, researchers, and other health-care professionals who devote their lives to helping patients eat sensibly and lose weight. Although my interest in diet started from the therapeutic perspective, I see now that the cosmetic benefits of losing weight are extremely important because they so effectively motivate the young and the old even more than the promise of a healthy heart, it often seems. The psychological lift that comes from an improved appearance benefits the entire person, and keeps many a patient from backsliding. The end result is cardiovascular health my only goal when this journey began.
What started as a part-time foray into the world of nutrition has led me to devise a simple, medically-sound diet that works, without stress, for a large percentage of those who try it. This program has been scientifically studied (as few diets ever are) and proven effective, both for losing weight and for getting and keeping a healthy cardiovascular system.
Back when this all began, of course, I had no idea what would ensue. All I knew was that many of my patients more of them every year were overweight and that their condition was a big part of their cardiac risk. I could treat them with all the newest medications and procedures, but until they got their diet under control we were often fighting a losing battle. Their eating habits contributed to blood chemistry that was dangerously high in cholesterol and triglycerides, the leading factors in blocked arteries and inflammation of the blood vessels. And there was another, not terribly well-understood diet-related problem that they shared, a silent, so-called metabolic syndrome (prediabetes) found in close to half of all Americans who suffer heart attacks.
Searching for the Right Weight-Loss Plan
My journey to disease prevention through diet actually began when my education as a cardiologist did, 30 years ago. During my training in the late 1970s, I looked forward to treating patients with heart disease despite the fact that we didn't have many preventive weapons in our arsenal. I asked the most respected cardiologist I knew this question: "What is the best way to prevent heart disease?" His answer: "Pick the right parents." If you inherited the gene for cardiac longevity, you were likely to live to a ripe old age. If heart disease struck early in your family, there was not much you could do to change your destiny.
Then, in 1984, 1 attended a course at the Heart House in Bethesda, Maryland, the national headquarters of the American College of Cardiology. There, I heard a lecture by a brilliant researcher and charismatic teacher, Bill Castelli, who headed the world-famous Framingham Heart Study. Dr. Castelli told us about the results of the recently completed National Institutes of Health (NIH)-sponsored Lipid Research Clinics Primary Prevention Trial (LPCPPT). This was the very first study to prove that lowering cholesterol could reduce heart attacks. At the time, the only known treatment for high cholesterol was an unpleasant, grainy powder known as a resin, which was taken several times a day before meals. Therefore, we were all very excited when Dr. Castelli told the conference that if we put patients on the very first American Heart Association diet, we could lower their cholesterol and end the scourge of heart disease in America.
We all returned home filled with fervor, ready to guide our patients to restored cardiac health and dietary wisdom. I came back to Miami confident in my newfound knowledge of how to save my patients' lives. My wife and I even joked that with heart disease out of the picture, I might be better off switching to a growth specialty, like plastic surgery. It wasn't long before I learned that unemployment as a cardiologist was going to be unlikely.
I began counseling my patients on the low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet advocated by the American Heart Association, but the results fell far below my expectations. Often, there was an initial modest improvement in total cholesterol with mild weight loss. This invariably was followed by a return of cholesterol to its previous level or higher, along with a return of the lost weight. This scenario was not only my experience but also that of my colleagues. It was reflected in the many diet-cholesterol trials documented in the literature: we were unable to sustain cholesterol and/or weight reductions using low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets. There were no convincing studies showing that the American Heart Association diet saved lives.
Over the years I had suggested most of the highly respected diets out there-going back to Pritikin and then through the various, more recent, heart-healthy low-fat regimens, including the Ornish plan and several American Heart Association diets. Each of them, for different reasons, failed miserably. Either the diets were too difficult to stick with, or the promise of improved blood chemistry and cardiac health remained just that a promise. Discouraged, I had all but given up on advising my patients about nutrition, because I was unable to suggest anything that actually helped. Like most cardiologists in that period, I turned instead to the statin drugs that were just entering the market, medications that had proven extremely effective in lowering total cholesterol, if not weight.
But I also decided, as a last-ditch effort, that I would devote some serious study of my own to diet and obesity. Like most physicians, I was not particularly knowledgeable in the science of nutrition. So my first task was to research all the weight-loss programs out there, the serious scientific ones as well as the trendy attempts that topped the best-seller lists. As I acquired that education, I was also reading in the cardiology literature about the prevalence of something called the insulin resistance syndrome and its effect on obesity and heart health.
The Science of Success
One side effect of excess weight, we now know, is an impairment of the hormone insulin's ability to properly process fuel, or fats and sugars. This condition is commonly called insulin resistance. As a result, the body stores more fat than it should, especially in the midsection. Since the dawn of Homo sapiens, we've been genetically conditioned to store fat as a survival strategy to see us through times of famine.
The problem now, of course, is that we never experience the famine end of that equation, only the feast. As a result, we store fat but never require our bodies to burn it off. Much of our excess weight comes from the carbohydrates we eat, especially the highly processed ones found in baked goods, breads, snacks, and other convenient favorites. Modern industrial processing removes the fiber from these foods, and once that's gone their very nature and how we metabolize them-changes significantly for the worse.
Decrease the consumption of those "bad" carbs, studies showed, and the insulin resistance starts clearing up on its own. Weight begins a fairly rapid decrease, and you begin metabolizing carbs properly. Even the craving for carbs disappears once you cut down on their consumption. Finally, cutting out processed carbs improves blood chemistry, ultimately resulting in lowered triglycerides and cholesterol.
So my eating plan's first principle was to permit good carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) and curtail the intake of bad carbohydrates (the highly processed ones, for the most part, where all the fiber had been stripped away during manufacturing). We would thereby eliminate a prime cause of obesity. This was in marked contrast to the Atkins Diet, for instance, which bans virtually all carbohydrates and leaves the dieter to exist mostly on proteins. That regimen also permits limitless saturated fats, the kind found in red meat and butter. These are, as most people know, the bad fats the ones that can lead to cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke. That hasn't stopped millions of dieters from adopting the plan. But from the moment I learned of it, the diet set off alarm bells in this cardiologist's head. Even if you do lose weight and keep it off, your blood chemistry might suffer from eating so much saturated fat.
My plan cut certain carbohydrates, but not all of them. In fact, it encouraged eating the good ones. For instance, I banished white flour and white sugar. But our diet permits whole grain breads and cereals and whole wheat pasta. We also prescribe lots of vegetables and fruits. I had a practical reason for that decision, beyond their obvious nutritional value and the beneficial fiber they provide. Not everyone wants to give up vegetables, fruit, bread, and pasta forever, even in exchange for a regimen that allows a pound of bacon for breakfast, followed by a pound of hamburger (with no bun, of course) for lunch, topped by a thick steak for dinner. And if people want bread, pasta, or rice, a humane eating plan should be able to accommodate that desire.
To make up for the overall cut in carbohydrates, my diet permitted ample fats and animal proteins. This decision flew in the face of the famous diets that had been developed specifically for people with heart problems, like Pritikin and Ornish. For a cardiologist, this was skating on thin ice. But my experience with patients showed that those so-called heart-healthy diets were nearly impossible to stick to, because they relied too heavily on the dieters' ability to eat superlow fat over the long haul. The South Beach Diet would permit lean beef, pork, veal, and lamb.
The low-fat regimen's severe restrictions on meat were unnecessary the latest studies had shown that lean meat did not have a harmful effect on blood chemistry. Even egg yolks are good for you contrary to what we once believed. They're a source of natural vitamin E and have a neutral-to-favorable effect on our balance between good and bad cholesterol. Chicken, turkey, and fish (especially the oily ones such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel) were recommended on my diet, along with nuts and low-fat cheeses and yogurt. As a rule, low-fat prepared foods can be a bad idea-the fats are replaced with carbs, which are fattening. But low-fat dairy products such as cheese, milk, and yogurt are exceptions to this rule-they are nutritious and not fattening.
I also allowed plenty of healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats, like the Mediterranean ones: olive oil, canola oil, and peanut oil. These are the good fats. They can actually reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. In addition to being beneficial, they make food more palatable. They're filling, too-a major consideration for a diet that promises that you won't have to go hungry.
Next, I found a suitable guinea pig for preliminary testing purposes, a middle-age man who was having trouble keeping his growing paunch under control: me. I went on the diet. I gave up bread, pasta, rice, potatoes. No beer. Not even fruit, at least in the very beginning, because it contains high levels of fructose, or fruit sugar. But otherwise I was determined to eat as normally as possible, meaning three meals a day plus snacks when I was hungry.
After just a week, I noticed a difference. I lost almost 8 pounds in those first 7 days, and it was easy. I didn't suffer any hunger pangs. No terrible cravings. No noticeable deprivation.
Almost sheepishly, I approached Marie Almon, M.S., R.D., chief clinical dietitian at our hospital, Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, and told her of my experiment. She conceded that the low-fat diet we had been recommending to cardiac patients wasn't working. So we took the basic principles I had developed and expanded them into an agreeable eating plan.
Practical Solutions
We settled on a few more guidelines, based on my clinical experience and study of the literature. First, we acknowledged the primary failing of diets we had tried with patients: They're too complicated and too rigid. A diet may be medically or nutritionally sound, but if it is hard to live with, if it doesn't take into account how the whole person operates, not just his or her digestive tract and metabolism then it is a failure. So this diet would be flexible and simple, with as few rules as possible. It would allow people to eat the way they actually like to eat, while improving their blood chemistry and helping them to lose weight and maintain the loss over the long run. This means a lifetime, not 3 months or a year. Only by accomplishing these goals would this program make the crucial transition from being a diet to being a lifestyle a way of living and eating that normal human beings can sustain for the rest of their lives.
With that in mind, we decided that we wouldn't ask people to deny themselves every eating pleasure indefinitely. Typically, once you've gone off track on a diet, you're on your own. The experts never allow for human frailty or tell you how to accommodate the inevitable slips as part of the plan. As a result, people who cheat a little today usually cheat a little more tomorrow, and then it's a slippery slope down to where the diet's in shambles, you've broken every rule, and you're depressed, discouraged and back at square one. So we make ample use of desserts devised especially by Marie Ahnon for the program. These treats are delicious, yet use only "legal" ingredients.
We also simply recognized that there will be days when you just need that chocolate ice cream or lemon meringue pie. I'm a chocoholic, so believe me, I understand. This plan would allow dieters to bend or break the rules, so long as they understood exactly what damage they've done and how to undo it. If the cheating put a few pounds on, or stalled the weight loss, the setback would be minimal and easily repaired, rather than spelling doom. One beauty of the three-phase structure of the South Beach Diet is that you can move easily from one stage to another. If, while in Phase 2, you go on vacation and overindulge in sweets, it's easy to switch back to Phase 1 for a week, lose the weight those desserts put on, and then return to where you left off in Phase 2.
Finally, people are practical beings. Diets that require complex menus, or supplements taken at certain times of day, or foods eaten in precise combinations, are just too burdensome to sustain for long. Many popular diets are extremely tricky in that regard, despite the fact that there is no basis in science for such complexity. And so they fail. Most of us lead complicated enough lives without having to be within walking distance of a refrigerator every 2 hours. Nobody wants to carry around a pillbox or a rule book (or both). So this diet would be based on dishes that are easy to make, with ingredients that are commonly found in supermarkets or in most restaurants. The plan requires snacks between meals, but the kind that can be thrown into a briefcase or backpack in the morning and eaten on the run. Our diet is also distinguished by the absence of calorie counts; percentage counts of fats, carbs, and proteins; or even rules about portion size. Our major concern is that dieters eat good carbs and good fats. Once that's all under control, portions and percentages take care of themselves. By choosing the right carbs and the right fats, you simply won't be hungry all the time.
Our diet, we decided, would have to be effective regardless of the dieter's exercise habits. Without a doubt, exercise does increase the body's metabolism, thereby making the diet more efficient. It is also a critical part of any cardiac health plan. However, the South Beach Diet does not depend on exercise in order to work. You'll lose more weight, faster, if you are active on a regular basis. But you'll lose weight even if you're not.
Flexibility and common sense, guided by real scienceas opposed to the pop science that often passes for nutrition these days were the guiding principles of the South Beach Diet. We hoped we had come up with a workable, practical solution to the obesity that plagued so many people we saw in the office and hospital setting. We believed it would work for most them. But of course, we wouldn't really know until they tried it.

It seems that out of eight reviews the consistent five star ratings speak for themselves. This review will not go into the description of the diet, the phases, what you eat, ect, those are easy to find before buying into this diet. This review is about results. I have not ever really looked into why or how the results of dieting and excercise differ from person to person and between genders. So when I tell you my results it must be taken in consideration that one I am male, two I am in my early 20s, and three I worked out in some form or another an hour almost every single day. I used a 'weight loss' pill also in conjuction with the diet and excercise, and it does help dramatically in curving appetite and after some trial and error, did realize that it does increase weight loss almost 50%. I also took the advice of the author and added metamucil to my diet twice a day. Through trial and error taking that twice a day resulted in between two and three extra pounds lost a week. Taking it more than twice, resulted in less weight loss than not taking it at all. My results in a strict phase one resulted in losing between 8 to 10 pounds a week, I had the will power and determination to do that for four weeks straight. This is not recommended by the author for chance of getting off the diet or yo-yo-ing. If you can manage it, it is just more weight you can lose. Results in phase one will be noticeable and quick. Watching the scale drop that much every week alone is enough motivation to continue dieting and restricting your eating. Instead of doing a phase two, I did phase one during the week, and a phase two on the weekends. That resulted in losing between 5 to 6 pounds a week. After I reached a reasonable goal, I did phase two/strict phase 3 with one free day, eating whatever I wanted, and typically lost between 3 to five pounds a week. If you are going to do this diet, stick with it. Phase One is ESSENTIAL. Many people skip this phase or don't want to do it. I will admit, the first week is hard as hell. Pure torcher. But once you make it through that first week/weekend, it is all down hill from there. Your body gets very use to not eating food high in carbs and doesn't crave them anymore. Your mental state becomes very trained in what you eat and what you desire to eat. The results that you will get from this diet, and doing it properly is worth all the hard effort. It must be reminded that it gets very easy the longer you do it. Some people raise the issue of gaining the weight back. I must tell you that if you can stick to this diet anywhere between three and six months, it will take a lot of work to gain the weight back. Your entire metabolism changes in that amount of time, and the weight you lost will have been nearly permanent. To wrap it up. Give it a shot. If you are doubtful about the diet or what you are capable of doing, try it for one full week. If the results alone do not give you the courage/motivation to continue, then you only lost the price of this softback book. And maybe someone you know can have better results. If you have a lot of weight to lose this diet will not disappoint. You will lose weight quicker and easier than a person who only wants to lose ten pounds or so. Make sure you incorporate some excercise into it and also a diet pill if you can handle the caffeine. Make sure you DO PHASE ONE, this a MUST. So many people I know do not want to do this phase and end up skipping it. By doing phase one your metabolism will sky rocket allowing the next phases to be more successful. After doing phase one and then phase two you will know EXACTLY what works best for you and what changes you can make to your diet to lose the desired amount of weight you want. By reading this book and doing this diet with the motivation and will to succeed, three months from now your life will have dramatically changed for the best. Six months from now you will be an entirely different person. And only a year from now, you will
This is a diet book whose plan is to get you to lose weight by limiting your carbohydrates- essentially another low-carbohydrate diet. It has 3 phases where your carbohydrates are severely restricted at first, and then re-introduced.
I have personally read three controlled trials comparing low carb diets to your regular calorie restricted diets that were published in scientific journals. The results? Low carb diets produce more weight loss during the first 6 months, but at one year follow-up, both groups had lost THE SAME amount of weight.
Therefore, it really doesn't matter which diet plan you choose, the South Beach diet or your standard low calorie diet, because if you can stay on either of them for a year, you'll lose the same amount of weight. To that end, then, the South Beach diet is a fairly healthy diet plan and a good one to choose from- but the bottom line if you want to lose weight is to cut your calories with ANY diet plan and absolutely stick with it and make it a part of your lifestyle.
Readers who can't seem to stick with a diet plan long enough to see results might also want to check out The Sixty-Second Motivator. Good luck!
Don't purchase this on nook, not all recipes are included and there is NO diclaimer to say this..
I am on the South Beach Diet and wanted to clear up a few wrong assumptions about it that I see written here. First, this is a balanced low-carb/high protein diet. It's not Atkins or anything else. It is delivered in phases to allow your systems to adjust to the changes in a positive way. Phase One is not intended for weight loss, although this does often occur. It is basically to stabilize your blood sugar and natural insulin systems to keep you from having the jitters as you begin to implement your new LIFESTYLE of eating. Phase Two is the weight loss phase and Phase Three is the 'let's see what you learned' phase where you implement your new found eating knowledge for a lifetime. The diet IS easy to follow. You cannot try this for a week or try this for a few weeks and expect anything. You must fully utilize the amount of time indicated in the book. The South Beach Diet DOES NOT limit calorie intake as long as it is from recommended foods and if you get hungry they recommend you eat! The book itself is easy to read and explains WHY each thing is done, unlike many fad diet books. The lists in the book are good but I do recommend online support from one or more of the many online forum groups. I am making progress and think this is healthy living for anyone. You must remember it is not JUST a diet, it is a lifestyle. And lastly, read the book, it's all there. Just read it all the way through before you do anything.
I've only been on this diet for six days and I've already lost ten pounds! My boyfriend has lost 8 pounds! It's like the weight is just melting away!! I get to eat so much, and I'm not hungry. It's an unbelievable diet!! Where has this diet been all my life? I can't wait to see the end result after Phase III. I highly recommend this book!!!!!
My headline says it all. Just like all previous reviewers, I tried every diet out there. Since I hit my mid-40's, NOTHING worked at all...not even near starvation. I gave up hope and blamed my inablity to lose weight on years of constant dieting. I was sure I ruined my body's 'diet' mechanism. I used to count the calories of the carbs I ate, be it bread or pasta, and fit those calories into my daily intake of total calories. Even though I was under the 'desirable' calories for the day, I didn't lose weight. YIPPEE for South Beach! This diet is working! The key, for me, is no more complex carbohydrates. Three weeks ago I couldn't zip up my jeans. Today I am comfortably wearing them again. Great diet--even if that is an oxymoron.
I have never been able to stick to a diet and I have tried many of them. With the South Beach Diet I lost 11 lbs in the first 2 weeks and wasn't hungry. Highly recommended reading for those who want to lose weight!
this is such a easy diet or eating plan to be on and stay on...and I know, I have tried most of them. you can actually call this way of eating a lifestyle change, something all of the diet doctors say you must do. when friends have seen my results they have gone on it.
This book helped me to lose 35 lbs in 41/2 months and I didn't feel a thing! It is written so that you can follow the food suggestions to a letter or, make up your own "diet" from reading the first half of the book which explains food combinations. It is well written, making understanding easy even for the layman. It was so easy I didn't and still don't feel like I'm on a diet. It is a way of life now. Just losing and keeping it lost. I've recommended this book to many people who are enjoying the successful results as I did. Dr. Agatston is my idol.
My mom and brother have been on this diet for about 4 months. They eat very few carbs except for their 'cheat' meals. Both have been overweight for years, espoecially my brother who is mentally handicapped and LIVES for food. Both have lost well over 25 lbs and have andded muscle tone. They follow this book and combine it with weight training from the book
And they always have a low carb protein shake after weight training and for their last meal of the day. Presto - it works awesome and their hunger is satisfied. If these two can lose weight and look great(without being hungary and crabby), it must be a great diet and book!
Finally, a safe, nutritious, delicious diet that not only is good for the heart but is a wonderful diet for those with thyroid problems. No calorie counting, weighing in or portion sizing - real food for real people. Cheers, Doc!
This book is excellent - I feel like a million dollars - the madness of Atkins and The Zone, and counting WW points are OVER!! - no more craziness, just simple, uncomplicated program that is so healthy! A plan for total wellbeing and life in general. I highly recommend this program as I have stuggled with weight for over 10 years. Diets are not the way to go - you must change your life and embrace it! I have kept off a 60 lb weight loss for 7 years and gained 15 lbs back when I quit smoking - this book is the best bet to total health and lifestyle change - it is not a diet - it's a way of life. Americans are being slowly killed by processed foods ! Read this and join the movement against them! Throw out all other diets you have read or considered - this is finally the answer.
This is an excellent read, with wonderful easy to understand explanations about proteins, fats and carbs. It's written by a preventive cardiologist, so I can be healthy as well as thin! The pounds slide off and I'm happy, not hungry! The recipes are excellent and not difficult to prepare.
This book is a good refernce diet for those who need to lose weight. You follow a healthy low carb /high protein regimen (UNLIKE ATKINS) This diet lets you eat good carbs i.e. legumes, many greens, fruits and veggies. It is looser than "ATKINS" but better for the heart. It was recommended to me by my cardiologist. I was following "ATKINS" which is NOT easily followed. In the first 4 weeks I lost 6 lbs. I did not feel deprived. South Beach is easy to follow unlike Atkins. You stay away from high fat protiens. Eggs and egg whites are eaten and they provide many recipes in their various phases of the program. I highly recommend this as a way of life not a diet.
The way we all should eat. Cravings gone but must be motivted.
One family member's health issues are: obesity, hypertension, high potassium, high cholesterol, peripheral neuropathy and heart issues. I purchased the book to use as a guide for offering tasty meals. It was easy to take most of the recipes, change a thing or two here and there and have it conform to the requirements the Doctor ordered while serving delicious meals. This book saved my sanity. THANKS.
More like a new way of life. Cutting out the bad carbs leaves you with so many eating options. I have more energy that ever and find it easy to follow. I had a problem with the idea of other diets limiting vegies, since I love them and it did not seem healthy. This is not a diet Dr. This is a Dr. who came up with this plan for the health of his patients. A must try.
I can not believe how much I love this book! It's full of fun, interesting recipes. I have been on every diet and diet pill out there and have had failed after three days. I have stuck with this plan for three weeks now and I am now 16 pounds lighter. My family is eating healther too! With three small children, that's not always easy. This book has changed our lives!
Dr.Agaston has done his homework and he shares all his knowledge with you. In this case knowledge is power--the power to change your body! The power to be healthy, to live longer, to enjoy your life. He is a cardiologist which makes him life-saver. First he educates you. He gives a little history explaining how it all started and what he learned. You wil learn the differences between such esoteric food labels as transfats and hydrogenated and more. You may find yourself st first standing in the grocer's aisle reading peanut butter labels to determine which one is the healthiest. With my South Beach Diet knowledge I could do this! And so can you! The book has a wealth of information that enables you to make good choices about your diet. Those choices will help you lose weight and lower your cholesterol. His patients' testimonials are awesome. Very inspiring. You will learn from their stories. As they say on TV, THUMBS UP!

One of the best usable dieting books that has its base in real science. Effective weight loss plan with great recipes that are easy to follow and actually taste good. Its a bit challenging to stay on the first two weeks of the diet but once you are over that hump, it is so much easier. This book is about lifestyle change, not quick weight loss but quick rebound once you stop the diet.
I bought the book because my daughter was dx as type 2 diabetic and was told to skip the diet of South Beach Diet and go straight to the 2nd phase - just to eat correctly. She did - and within 6 weeks lost nearly 20 pounds and dropped her cholestrol nearly 100 points, her sugar about 70 points or so. I wanted to encourage her and help her - wanted to know what she is doing so that I don't distract her from getting healthy.

Daily driver?
Although my hands are full with my current projects I've had this one in my mind for many years. I've collected all the catalogs for researching parts and such and even priced it out once. But I've never commited to it and was wondering if anyone here has ever built such a ride.
Looking at a re-pro glass 32 three window. Bobbed fenders, no running boards, tube frame, with straight front axle. I was thinking of pulling the running gear from a Ford Ranger pick-up. All of it. 4 cylinder, 5 speed, straight rear axle. They're cheap and plentiful.
The goal here is to have a light weight economical car but fun to drive and different. Add ac and stereo and she'd be my commuter car to work.
Everyone is always stuffing V8's into these things for cruisers, but why not a cheap daily driver. The Ranger gets decent milage as is.
Whatcha think?

The goal in all of Bernheim's activities is to help fulfill our mission of connecting people with nature. Whether you volunteer several hours or several hundred hours, you will provide meaningful service to Bernheim and our visitors. Through the volunteer program, you'll receive on the job training, gain access to programs and specialized training opportunities, meet other volunteers, and have fun in nature.
While working throughout the 14, 000 acres of forest or the 600 acre arboretum, volunteers participate in a variety of activities that allow them to explore the great outdoors. The ever-changing landscape at Bernheim gives each volunteer the opportunity for lifelong learning. If you love Bernheim, we have the ideal job waiting for you. Please let us know of your skills and interests and we will be happy to find you the perfect position in which to grow.
Individual volunteers should be at least 16 years old to volunteer.Those younger than 16 are encouraged to volunteer with their families or with a student group (i.e. FFA, Scouts,etc). Call for details about these opportunities.
Connect with People
Isaac's Café Volunteer
Are you a master chef, or even a home cook that wishes you had an excuse to cook more? Issac's Café is open inside the Visitor Center daily, and can always use help in providing visitors with sandwiches and soups made from locally grown ingredients.
Office/Mailing Assistant
Organization lovers apply here. Volunteers are vital in helping to send information to our 5,000 members across the country. Our administrative staff can also use help in delivering copies of our newsletter, the forest echo, throughout the community, as well as entering programs into online calendars and archiving press we receive. Some administrative work may be done at home.
Outreach Ambassador
Do you love Bernheim so much you want to tell the world about it? Here's your chance to travel throughout the Bernheim community (Louisville, Shepherdsville, Bardstown, and beyond) and share the wonder of Bernheim. Work with Bernheim staff to have the knowledge to answer questions at community booths, speak at engagements, and be the traveling "face of Bernheim."
Pollywog Play Partier
Come play in the Pollywog Pond with Bernheim's smallest visitors. The first Saturday of each month is home to a Pollywog Play Party, where children under the age of five learn about nature through music, art and outdoor play. Help our Education staff in preparing for the programs.
Visitor Center Volunteer
If you love talking to people, this is the perfect position for you. Volunteers working at our Bernheim's stunning LEED® Platinum Certified Visitor Center will help our Visitor Services Staff in greeting visitors, maintaining the appearance of the gift shop and Visitor Center exhibits, assist guests with gift shop merchandise and answer other questions about Bernheim.
Volunteer Naturalist
Calling all nature and knowledge lovers. Bernheim's award-winning Naturalist in Training (NIT) Program provides volunteers with an in depth learning and service experience. The NIT program begins each winter and creates a volunteer community through an inspired curriculum where volunteers will greatly increase their knowledge of the local environment. That knowledge can then be used to lead various Bernheim educational programs and lead hands-on discovery stations at Bernheim events and programs. NITs are required to volunteer at least 60 hours per year.
Volunteer Naturalists will have the opportunity to volunteer in the following capacities:
Fire Tower Guide
Atop Forest Hill Drive sits Bernheim's historic fire tower, which provides a sweeping view of Bernheim's tree tops and landscape. Fire Tower Guides escort visitors into the tower and provide a brief educational background to visitors waiting in line to scale the stairs. Show off a grand expanse of beauty from atop this historically registered fire tower.
Program Host
If you love to share your knowledge with other people, leading one of Bernheim's regularly held programs may be the role for you. Volunteers have long led many of our programs, including O.W.L.S. (Older, Wiser, Livelier Seniors) and Night Hikes. Program hosts work with Bernheim Education staff to develop and deliver content on various relevant topics for adult and family groups who attend Bernheim's public programming.
Discovery Station Leader
Discovery Stations are a great way to find an aspect of nature that you love, study it and then share what you've learned with kids of all ages. NITs will provide visitors with hands-on opportunities to investigate the natural world through the use of natural materials (living and artifacts), visual aids, props and activities. Most discovery experiences will be "stationed" outside and will include short activities (10-minute encounters or 30-minute hikes). Discovery experiences aim to increase visitors' appetite for knowledge and direct experiences in the natural world.
Naturalist Assistant
If you have an interest in any of the above positions, but don't have the time to fully participate in the NIT program, please contact Bernheim's volunteer department. We can find a way for you to work with other Volunteer Naturalists to get the experience you desire.
Connect with Nature
Aquarium/Terrarium Assistant
Perform periodic inspections of the terrarium and aquarium in the Visitor Center to ensure that they are operating, clean, and well stocked with healthy plants/animals.
Gardening Group
Play in the dirt at Bernheim. Bernheim's volunteer gardeners assist the horticulture staff in enhancing the overall appearance of the arboretum and in maintaining plant operations within the nursery and greenhouses. Bernheim's plants are a cornerstone of our mission of connecting people with nature and the volunteers who work with them are an essential part of every visitor's experience. The Gardening Group primarily meets 9am-noon each Thursday morning, though other shifts may be available.
Trail Ranger
Are you a regular Bernheim hiker? Do you have a schedule that needs flexible hours? Walk the trails to inspect and report trail conditions, pick-up litter and, if interested, assist with repairs. Hours are flexible, as you may simply hike when you wish, picking up a trail inspection form at the Visitor Center when you arrive. As you hike, merely let us know if you find limbs in the path, signs that need to be replaced or other items of note. Another option is joining our Outdoor Signage Maintenance Team,where you will work with staff to perform periodic inspections of all outdoor educational signage. As you hike, take some small tools to perform routine maintenance and cleaning. Report back to Bernheim staff about any missing trail markers; replace with the new ones when you come back for your next hike. Great opportunity for students needing service hours!
Weed Warrior
If you have ever wanted a chance to explore Bernheim's natural areas beyond the hiking trails, become a Weed Warrior. Bernheim's skilled Natural Areas and Horticulture staff will work with volunteers to show them the many different invasive species that threaten the Natural Areas and Arboretum. Weed Warriors will then have the opportunity to adopt an area of Bernheim and become responsible for its upkeep and to keep it free of invasive species such as garlic mustard and honeysuckle in order to maintain the health of our forest.
For more information about volunteer opportunities, contact Amy Joseph Landon, (502) 955-8512 x 262 or email@example.com.

But in a somewhat perplexing comment, finance director Gary Kennedy said: 'We would like to express our appreciation to PwC for the work they have carried out for AIB to date. We have the highest regard for PwC as a firm and look forward to using a range of their services in future.'
At the same time the bank said the change was made in 'the context of a number of other actions and changes already announced as part of the review of control processes currently under way'.
PwC received e2.5m (£1.5m) in audit and related fees from AIB in 2000 and a further e5.8m for services ranging from IT consultancy to tax advice. AIB said it hoped to have appointed a new auditor by mid-May in time for its annual meeting on the 29th of the month.

Peter Gizzi—Threshold Songs
Peter Gizzi has been a good friend ever since we overlapped for a year together in grad school almost two decades ago. I reviewed his first two poetry books, Periplum and Artificial Heart, for Denver Quarterly and Chicago Review, respectively, and read his next two, Some Values of Landscape and Weather and The Outernationale, with deep interest and admiration. He's one of the finest lyric poets writing today, as attested by profiles of his latest book, Threshold Songs, in the New Yorker and a number of other places (Karla Kelsey's review in the Constant Critic is particularly insightful), as well as being named a Best Book of 2011 by the Times Literary Supplement.
Much about Threshold Songs points to a loosening from this world and evocations of another time and place—from the spare (yet beautiful) design to the shadow realms the book voices. Written in the wakes of the deaths of his mother, brother, and a close friend, Threshold Songs speaks to and from the dead. Ghosts have always inhabited the language of Gizzi's poetry, and here they cross over, or under, as in "Basement Song": "How deep the mother / deep the basement // the body, odor of laundry / the soul of a bug." Poetry, perhaps more than any other form of writing, reveals that the materiality of language is a liminal condition, and in this sense captures the ephemerality of all that we are and know—meaning, that we also aren't and ultimately don't know. In other words, poetic language is essentially anti-essentialist. Gizzi is among a relatively small handful of poets whose work understands this intuitively (instead of, for instance, conceptually).
As even the above brief passage from "Basement Song" makes clear, one of the most striking features of Gizzi's poetry is its rootedness in the phenomenological world, and his work manifests a poetic thick description of this world's various layers, from the cellular to the cosmic. This helps keep Threshold Songs grounded when it wants to wander into the darker recesses of silence, as well as when crucial passages in the book are structured as hypotheses (the "if" construction appears throughout Gizzi's poetry), including the tour de force list poem "Apocrypha," with its apparent resignation—it functions as an imaginary last will and testament—that is in fact a gorgeous gesture of defiance. For instance: "To Times Roman I give my stammer, my sullenness, my new world violence, form and all that, forms, and all that paper, gusts. Little buttress." In the end, poetry is a flimsy, yet necessary, defense.

RIALTO GOSSIP; Some Plays on the Way -- Two Old Favorites Loom Up -- A New Play by Jules Eckert Goodman
FROM all sides come announcements of new entertainments, of partnerships newly formed, of actors engaged, of opening dates settled upon. Reaching haphazardly into the drawer and making no particular effort -- no effort at all, as a matter of fact -- to present the sundry items in the order of either potential import or priority of appearance, these are a few of the facts to be recorded today in connection with the impending drama:

When tragedies occur something within us cries out to respond. We want to say something to our fellow human beings — something meaningful, something we hope can temper the feelings of grief and despair one feels in the wake of great loss.

Well done man! You two had the best pieces out of the 8 anyway..
Phat, if you're heading to Europe, you should try and hit up some trains.
You'd love the way the paint covers on steel.
I know you said there aren't many trains your way, and you wanted to smash some.
I hope he spelt Irak wrong on purpose...
And Danmark lol
actually irak's spelled like that sometimes, in french for example... but he messed up on Denmark right haha and we busted on him on location, ESPECIALLY that it's the key country in this whole operation
man fuuuck I'm super psyched about copenhagen mannn, I know Bates is Danish, I would LOVE to meet that guy... and hell yeah I'm gonna try to find some train hitters and see if they take me with them one time. I'm really craving some steel dude but from what I know and hear, it's EXTRA tough painting european trains, especially when I'm gonna be staying downtown, so I'll probably gonna hit metro's if anything
and I donno if I'd wanna get myself in THAT much trouble, this is my first time flying and I'm nervous already... I wouldn't wanna get in trouble that far away from home, I'm not a pussy, but I'd rather be safe than sorry... I honestly dont know what do i want to do :P lol
Better hit me up on a train dude! haha
haha nahhh I gotchu on a slick, wide open, and real busy highway spot son, I gotchu...
the trip's not til September
Do I not put enough time in my work, i knocked my entry off in the toy piece battle in under 15 minuets... watt y'all think. In truth.

woah woah woah, you probably got writers block cause you got a girlfriend so you only fuckin 1 bitch, and you gotta step your game up from marijuana... thats probably what induced the writers block... oh and you also have to actually be producing shit first before you can actually have writers block...
Step up from weed? I'm good. And what do you mean I'm not producing shit? I just don't post up every piece of mine.
Lol nor do I, and im happy that you dont post everything you do. So i guess a should rephrase and say you shoulod be producing quality shit before you can get writers block... cause atm simps shouldnt be hard. and if you cant think of hoiw to do simps then you should give up now

Hi Judy,
you'll find the questionable value as f[[1,1,2]] where f is the
InterpolatingFunction object:
Check[result = g /. First[NDSolve[{Derivative[1][g][x] == g[x]^2,
g[0] == 1}, g, {x, 0, 2}]],
Print["suspected singularity at x=", result[[1,1,2]] ]
NDSolve::ndsz :
At x == 0.9999997907551139`, step size is effectively zero; singularity
or stiff system suspected. More...
>From In[1]:=
"suspected singularity at x="0.9999997907551139
Note that NDSolve shall find a solution for 0<=x<=2. But because
x->1/(1-x) has got a singularity at x0=1 it integrates the equation as
it can and you can see from the output that result[[1]] is {{0.,1.}} and
therefore result[[1,1,2]] is the upper bound of the interval for which a
solution has been found.

NM Corrections Dept. launches internal probe
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — State officials have launched an internal probe into [auth] the New Mexico Corrections Department after guards were found sleeping and in possession of banned items inside the state penitentiary.
Corrections Secretary Gregg Marcantel told reporters Thursday that the investigation began after an unannounced team of investigators found guards with banned DVDs, cell phones, cooking equipment, and other electronics.
Guards aren't allowed to have any of the electronics in their possession while watching inmates.
Officials say a tip lead them to lock down the state penitentiary and find the contraband.
Marcantel says it's likely the guards responsible will be disciplined. He said random checks will become more frequent.

Ambiguity needs to be removed in item descriptions. How do you sell a servo and not specify the range of motion. Mine was 90degrees, apparantly others have a 180 variant. Probably not going to buy servos from Sparkfun anymore (price being the larger factor).
No public wish lists :(

Thanks for the help with Map and Pure Functions.
Suppose I want mypackage.m to automatically load whenever I start the kernel or
front end. Page 1016 of the mathematica book seems to imply that I just put the
package into the AddOns/AutoLoad folder and it will happen. On my windows 95
pentium, it does not. I have tried both putting mypackage.m into the folder and
making a mypackage folder with mypackage.m in it and putting that in the
AddOns/Autoload folder, but neither loads the package.
The paragraph in the mathematica book(page 1016) I don't understand is "by
placing the directory for an add-on in AddOns/AutoLoad/, you can have
Mathematica automatically load the add-on ....."
I don't know how to put a directory in a folder. I can put files in a folder or other
folders in a folder, so I am sure the reason for my failure is that I don't understand
the directions.
Also, Mathematica 3.0 has so many init.m files that I don't know which one is
"THE" init.m that sets my $path and into which I can insert commands or manually
load packages. 2.2 was much simpler-only one init.m. Can someone tell me
which init.m file is the one that the kernel reads prior to startup and in which I can
modify my $Path variable?


text: Quality, well fitting, timeless garments that stand out are what companies shoot to achieve when collaborating. Some of them fail, and some succeed. This is definitely a success story. The guys over at 3sixteen consistently produce quality garments, with the perfect fit – wether it's a pair of jeans, or shirting. They stay true to these values with some help from Portlands very own Woodlands with picking a fabric for those wet & cold days. The best of the best, made in Oregon, and no stranger to any of us – Pendleton wool. These are slim enough to wear by themselves, but are also able to be layered. Being from Florida, I am crazy enough to be wearing a wool shirt in the summer. Unfortunately, they're mostly sold out – but there are a few sizes still available (and on sale) at Woodlands & the 3sixteen online stores. You snooze you lose.

Hey guys, I just recently bought a new Sig p226 Elite from an online dealer and received the gun the other day. This is my first brand new pistol I have owned and am not sure how the barrel usually looks brand new. I know Sig test fired it, but should my barrel already have wear on it? It won't let me upload the images on here(I'm new and not sure what I am doing). But how much wear should be on a new barrel like that?
Thanks guys.
Also, it is an Enhanced Elite. I was wondering if I can replace the grip with the Sig Sauer rosewood grips without having to change out any other parts under the grip with it.


text: Recently my door has been making squeaking sounds when opened. But just yesterday, when I opened my door to get out, it resisted a lot and made snapping sounds. Something clearly broke, so my question is, what would it cost to buy a 95' 530i Driverside front door. If it's too pricey, what would need to be done for a DIY. I've been getting very frustrated with my car lately. Just as I replaced my hood because somebody vandalized it, my door starts falling off... :mad:

THE Education Ministry will focus on school violence as it engages in a consultation with parents on the issue of Parenting in Education, Minister Dr Tim Gopeesingh said yesterday at a consultation at the Rudranath Capildeo Learning Resource Centre (RCLRC) in McBean Village, Couva
Gopeesingh said he was very unhappy about incidences of school violence. He said it was critically important that the ministry receive parents views on school violence as well as other areas in order to help the ministry draft a way forward through recommendations. He stated that the ministry tries to implement a number of recommendations from national and international research and consultations, going back as far as 1985, but school violence is still a problem.

The two ladies have a difficult relationship and frequently wind up fighting, which gives Bob plenty of opportunity to smack their shapely bottoms. The maid is very pretty in her neat black and white outfit as her bottom is thoroughly reddened while the prim, starchy secretary is absolutely ripe for a sound spanking.

The firm application of the hand or the paddle on the shapely bottom of a nublile female has taken place for many a year. Many women have even appreciated this action. The spanked woman is the centre of attention. There is nothing worse than being ignored in this life. When she is spanked, there is the feeling that the punisher is prepared to take the trouble to carry out a proper punishment.

I can't tell you enough wonderful things about my fat trxs. I was able to tell immediately that it worked.
Healing was not bad for me. I was virtually in no pain where the fat trans. was on my eyes. There were no lumps or bumps, no (crawly bug feelings) and as of today it's all still where it was intended to be and I think looks great! Because I had other work done as well and at the same time, My healing may of taken a few days longer than just a fat trans by itself.

Clean Harbors cleans and removes pipes and piping equipment. Process piping, which typically transfers products such as caustics, acids, waste water, and gray water from one end of a plant to another, may become clogged with residue. Over time, these pipes require high-pressure water jetting / blasting to remove the residue and improve flow.
Because hydro jetting is capable of cleaning large diameters as well as those as small as 3/8 ID, this technique is an easy and effective way to remove stubborn scale and deposits inside pipes and piping equipment. Hydro jetting powerfully removes the material in even the hardest to reach spaces. Our staff combines optimum pressure and flow rates with specialty tooling to handle virtually any size project.
Clean Harbors performs in-line camera work, which allows us to inspect the integrity of the interior of pipes and sewer lines to identify potential problems, obstructions, or locations of residue build-up within a piping system.
By adding an abrasive media with 40,000 psi, we can cold cut pipes. Cold cutting is used when there is the potential for a release of a volatile material, when cutting needs to be done to gain access to an area, or when cutting is necessary to dismantle items for disposal.
