Jimmy Westlake: The Centaur peeks in
May 14, 2012
Solar eclipse is Sunday
Don't forget the spectacular annular eclipse of the sun on Sunday. From Northwest Colorado, the eclipse begins at 6:23 p.m. Maximum eclipse occurs at 7:30 p.m., when the moon will have reduced the sun to a thin crescent shape, only 8 degrees above the west-northwest horizon. The partially eclipsed sun will then set at 8:22 p.m. Use approved solar filters only, like a No. 14 welder's glass, to watch the eclipse safely.
Centaurs figured heavily in the mythology of the ancient Greeks — so much so that two of them are immortalized in the stars as our constellations of Sagittarius the Archer and Centaurus the Centaur. The legend of these half-man, half-horse beasts might have originated when someone long ago first saw humans on horseback and imagined them to be some sort of human-equine hybrid.
Centaurus is one of our most ancient constellations, first mentioned in Greek literature from the fourth century BC. It is thought to represent the centaur named Chiron. He was a wise old centaur that served as the personal tutor of Greek heroes like Hercules, Theseus and Jason.
During one of Hercules' many rowdy scuffles, Chiron accidentally was nicked by one of Hercules' poisoned arrows. Being immortal, Chiron could not die, but the agony of the wound was so severe that he begged Zeus to revoke his immortality. This Zeus did, and Chiron was mercifully allowed to die. Zeus then immortalized the image of Chiron among the stars as our constellation of Centaurus.
Twenty-five hundred years ago, the constellation of Centaurus could be seen in its entirety from mid-northern latitudes, but the slow wobbling of the Earth on its axis has since carried the stars of the Centaur so far south that we can see only his human half from Colorado.
Go outside around 11 p.m. in mid-May (10 p.m. in late May) and look due south, underneath the bright blue star Spica and the nearby planet Saturn. There you'll spot the Centaur's triangular head, his arms and his human torso, but his equine body remains hidden from view.
One of the many celestial treasures found within the boundaries of Centaurus is the largest and most beautiful of the globular star clusters, Omega Centauri. There are at least 200 globular star clusters buzzing around the Milky Way like bees around a hive, and Omega Centauri is like the queen bee. As large as the full moon and containing millions of stars, Omega Centauri is visible to the unaided eye as a fuzzy ball and, when viewed through a telescope, is nothing short of breathtaking.
To see this cosmic wonder from Colorado, one must have a clear view all the way down to the southern horizon, because Omega manages to rise only a few degrees into our sky. Try climbing a hill or mountain with a clear view to the south and aim your binoculars at Omega. You won't be disappointed.

(update: see a Mark Thoma rebuttal of Rogoff's argument. Thoma disagrees with the conventional wisdom of the "demographic timebomb" problem).
Rogoff's concern is that health care reform won't succeed in lowering the cost of health care, and will therefore break the bank. In other words: If we don't get health care reform right and soon, we're completely hosed:
Make no mistake, the US and much of the developed world is in a frighteningly precarious fiscal state. Exploding debt levels have remained manageable in no small part thanks to the extraordinarily low level of global real interest rates. Should the general level of global interest rates rise substantially, perhaps owing to a pick-up in emerging market growth over the next few years, a number of developed countries, including the US, may have to tighten their belts sharply in order to maintain stable debt ratios. Countries that fail to do so will suffer severe consequences, including spiralling interest rates and, ultimately, default by direct means or through high inflation.
It is a disgrace that the world's richest country cannot provide reliable basic care for its poorest citizens. But if the politics of reform produces too extravagant a plan when the nation's fiscal health is already so weak, the US may experience a form of financial crisis even more virulent than the one it is recovering from. Any healthcare plan would then be dead on arrival.

Hello! As a new data science analyst at Forrester, I am thrilled to lead analysis of and insights from Forrester's Mobile Audience Data (MAD). Although my expertise covers most areas of data science, I have a distinct passion for network and text analytics and custom algorithms that unlock the stories behind the data. I most recently worked in the multilateral development space, where I used data science to map the connections of internal and external communications in order to help guide country and sector strategies. I am incredibly excited to use the power and creativity of data science with our clients at Forrester.
My first report analyzes consumers' reliance on smartphones in their daily routines. Look back over your past week or, better yet, your past month. Can you remember a single morning when you did not look at your smartphone during the first few minutes after waking up? I can't. Smartphones' omnipresence in our morning routines means that we can learn a lot from our use of our mobile devices during these early hours of the day. Because we are creatures of habit, we tend to access the same apps and websites in the morning, day in and day out.
For example, look at the most popular apps that US consumers access first thing in the morning. The most-used apps allow consumers to wake up and check on their social lives: 15% of the time, US consumers wake up and check their email. In fact, the clock, email, messaging, and Facebook account for 40% of all early-morning device behaviors.

Having analyzed consumers' technology behavior for more than 11 years now here at Forrester, I've seen a certain pattern surface in the uptake of technology: When new technologies become available, it's Generation X (ages 31 to 44) that adopts it first, but it's Generation Y (ages 18-30) that runs with it. Gen Xers have money to spend on technologies when they're still premium-priced, but Gen Yers have the time on their hands to really explore all possibilities. For example, when we look at online activities, young consumers spend more time online and are involved in more activities (especially when we look at social networking). However, for mobile Internet, we see a different pattern emerge.
Forrester's Technographics® data shows that Gen Xers are equally active on their mobile phones, and in some instances, like playing games, they rival the usage of their younger counterparts. In other instances, like checking news, sports, or weather or checking travel status, Gen Xers actually outpace Gen Yers.
Companies that want to target these groups should ensure that their mobile Internet experience is consistent with the regular Internet presence, ensuring a seamless experience for their consumers. The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is a perfect example of a company that identified the mobile needs of its clientele and then created a unique experience that allowed users to effortlessly connect both through their mobile device and online.

We've just published two new reports concerning Windows 7 adoption and satisfaction, leveraging Forrester's Consumer Technographics(R) data.
The reports show that Windows 7 penetrated the consciousness of the market by the end of 2009, with a strong majority of US consumers aware of the product. We also found that consumers who adopted Windows 7 in Q4 were generally very satisfied with their Windows 7 PCs.
Perhaps the most interesting finding of the reports involves upgrade behaviors. Historically, most consumers have not upgraded their PCs with new OSes -- though Mac users and some technophile consumers have been an exception on this count. Instead, the majority of consumers have acquired new OSes when they purchase their new PC. These are known as "replacement cycle upgrades."
With Windows 7, however, upgrade behavior was much stronger. Why? In short, Windows 7 is a thinner client program than was Windows Vista, meaning that it works well on older hardware configurations. In the past, OSes were designed with Moore's Law as an underlying assumption -- that is, that newer PC hardware would be significantly faster and more powerful than the previous generation's hardware. Windows 7, however, is a less burdensome OS than Windows Vista. The rise of Netbooks, the physical assets of multi-PC households, and an attachment by many consumers to their Windows XP machines all contributed to the need for a sleeker, thinner Windows OS, which Windows 7 delivered.
Among early adopters of Windows 7, in Q4, for the first time upgrading behavior matched replacement cycle purchasing, as this Figure shows:

According to recent shipment data (which Forrester doesn't track), Acer has overtaken Dell to become the #2 PC company in the world behind HP.
This achievement wasn't unexpected -- in August, 2007, we predicted that Acer would become a formidable industry titan: "Acer's announcement that it will acquire Gateway is a clever plan, as Acer simultaneously improves its brand recognition, channel reach, and opportunity for gains in margin. Like IBM Deep Blue, Acer strategists calculated several moves ahead in the global PC chess game. If the execution is solid, this deal will create a powerful third-place PC competitor that will challenge HP and Dell by 2009, and it portends the rise of non-Japanese Asian PC superpowers."
Acer has proven shrewd in product strategy over the past few years. (Indeed, we declared that "even war strategist Sun-Tzu" couldn't have done better!). Acer's work with Ferarri was a masterstroke in branding (from an unexpected company, at the time). Acer's excellence in netbooks has ridden the wave of the market at the right time. More fundamentally, Acer's cost structure benefits from its proximity to Asian-based factories and original design manufacturers (ODMs). Dell, once the king of cost structure, isn't in as privileged a position. And Acer's access to retail channel (including Gateway's) and experience in SKU management in retail is currently superior to Dell's. (Dell re-entered retail after a long hiatus).

Mount Ida sophomore Chris McNally rushed for 247 yards and two scores to lead a Mustang ground attack that piled up 342 total yards on the ground en route to a 52-28 win over Castleton Saturday afternoon at Spartan Stadium.
Castleton freshman quarterback George Busharis went 19-for-42 with 331 yards and three touchdowns but was also intercepted three times on the afternoon. Senior Greg Vreeland finished the fourth quarter for the Spartans completing five passes for 77 yards and a touchdown. Brandon Boyle and Kevin Alberque each went over the 100-yard receiving mark with the former hauling in 12 catches for 182 yards and a touchdown, and the latter catching five passes for 115 yards and a score. Tyler Carpenter also had a touchdown reception to go along with 53 yards, while Zach Howe hauled in a late Spartan score.
With the win Mount Ida clinches the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) Championship and a berth to the NCAA Division III National Tournament. Both teams finish the season at 7-1 in conference play, with the Mustangs earning the title by virtue of the head-to-head tiebreaker.
Castleton will learn if it has done enough to secure a berth in an ECAC Bowl game on Monday morning. The Spartans honored 19 seniors prior to kick-off, including 14 four-year players which represent the first full recruiting class in the fledgling program's history.

Palestine-Israel: In the Beitunia murder, the joint struggle again highlights the most important aspect of Israeli involvement in it.*

Many objections were raised about the participation of Israelis in the non-armed struggle in the areas of Palestine occupied in the 1967 war. Some, mostly Palestinians, regarded it as a contribution to so called "normalization". Others claimed that Israeli activists should do their struggle within the Israeli population of the 1948 borders. Many anarchists raised reservations as the Palestinian popular struggle is a kind of capitalist "national independence struggle" for the self-determination of the Palestinian capitalist elite to monopolize the option for the exploitation of the Palestinian working masses - they just ignore the fact that most Palestinians wish for a bi-national democratic whole Palestine and not for a national Palestinian State. Others just do not take upon themselves the obligation to serve as a life-saving shield, as Israeli policy officially forbids the state forces to shoot to kill when Israelis are supposed to be among the demonstrators. Indigenous people struggle against settler colonialist transfer and marginalization is NOT the same as a national Bourgeoisie for "national independence" or "national self-determination".

As the New Year approaches, it is a time of Autumn Harvest and a closure of the last quarter of 2011. As winter approaches, it provides the opportunity to review and contemplate our relationships and our interactions. This is a season of 'bringing together loose ends' in our lives. It is a time to start looking objectively so that in January we can implement new resolutions.
Here is a Eight Week Self-Improvement Program to guide introspection of your communication skills with yourself and with others. The goal is to enhance your quality of life.
Last week my friend Mike got baptized.
As the only adult being baptized, he was upstaged by some cute little kids and a baby, but he still shined.
We baptize babies and grownups at my church because we believe baptism is not so much us declaring our commitment to follow Jesus, but it's our declaration that we're in desperate need of his cleansing.
It's one of two sacraments we celebrate, the other one being communion.
30 Years Ago (Nov. 12, 1981)
By Ronnie McCane
Veterans Day is always a special time for our country, but it promises to be even more memorable on Friday because of its location on the calendar.
That's because, for the first time ever, the year aligns perfectly with the holiday's specific time of remembrance. It will be another century before anyone else can pause to honor those who have served our country on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year.

If anything the various .32 Mags are copies of the .32-20 concepts.
Thats a good buy even up here in Canada, where prices are somewhat depressed because of the fewer number of collectors. Excellent cartridge for the reloader.
Was a the local gun show today (what a madd house) and found an independant dealer with a brand new unfired 1894cl 32/20, asking price of $675. The gun is JM stamped and still has the "targeted by" sticker on the stock, as well as the paper work. I wasn't sure how to date it as the serial number began with CL and it does have the saftey. Now I would have been interested if I had any use for such a round. I did some homework while looking at the gun and found ammo to be really expensive. The round appears to be an xtra hot 32 mag. I think I'll stick my 1894C .357, no sense in buying a collectable, I like shooting too much!
Just FYI!

That 32-20 is a bit hard to date what with the CL serial numbers etc., but I can tell you that they were made in the period from 1989 to 1994. They ARE a LOT of fun, but to get any fun at all (without killing your wallet) you have to hand load the rounds which is easy and inexpensive.
I wouldn't call it an extra hot .32 mag at all - Canada Hammer has it right. This round will be weaker... weaker than even the .30 carbine - even with stout hand loads.
As for the price; by today's standards what you were quoted isn't too bad, (but sadly for you the buyer) it's about $300 higher than even just 10 years ago.
The crazy thing about this round (and especially this particular gun for that matter) is that if you bought it - and you should have - you would soon be wanting a revolver (or two) to go with it because it IS THAT FUN.
Sort of like a .22 Mag on steroids. Plus the nostalgia factor - just ask me how I know
All My Guns Shoot Straight Without Aiming...
but hitting the target is another matter all together!
If I ever see one for that money in that condition--- its going to have a new home!
"That wasn't shootin, that was killin" -- Rafe Covington
If you had bought it and shot it, you would want to own its little brother, the 25-20, and its babby brother, the 218 Bee.
Neckdown the 32-20 to 25 caliber to get the 25-20 and neck down the 25-20 to 22 caliber to get the 218 Bee.
Believe me, I bought the 32-20, shot it and it was so much fun that now I own all three and having a blast with them all. So are my family and friends!!! I bought a mold for the 32-20 and one for the 25-20 to keep the cost of ammo down and the jacketed bullets for the 218 Bee are only $15 to $16 per 100. Making and shooting your own is a very fullfiling part of the hobby.

I was working at a gunshop back when they first came out and didn't get one because I didn't see the use for those old "obsolete" rounds. Course that was when I was younger and dumber! Sure wish I had gotten one of each now! Those smaller calliber levers are just pure fun. Get it if you still can. You will have a blast with it, especially if you handload.

If I found one of those in unfired condition here in Oz for under $1400 I'd buy it to give my other one a brother.
I use mine for classic caliber rifle and pistol caliber silhouette and with 9.5 gr of 2400 it is outstandingly accurate and fun to shoot.

Citation: Echternkamp, S.E., Gregory, K.E. 2002. Reproductive, growth, feedlot, and carcass traits of twin versus single births in cattle. Journal of Animal Science. 80 (E Supplement 2):E64-E73. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Annual frequency of fraternal twins increased 3.1% per year to 50 to 55% in a selected herd of cattle at the U. S. Meat Animal Research Center. Because twin ovulations are the first prerequisite for fraternal twins, breeding value for twinning was predicted by repeated measures of ovulation rate in yearling heifers and of twinning rate in selected females. Gestation length was shorter (276.1 vs 283.1 d; P < 0.01) and birth weight was smaller (37.2 vs 47.2 kg; P < 0.01) for twin vs single calves, respectively; total birth weight was increased 53.1% for twins. Respective 200-d weaning weights were 232 vs 259 kg (P < 0.01). Number of calves weaned per cow calving was 0.89 for singles, 1.52 for twins, and 1.80 for triplets (P < 0.01); total weaning weight was increased 48.1% for twin and 66.8% for triplet births. Single-born male calves gained 74 g more per d than twin-born males from birth to 200 d, and 45 g more per d from 200 d to oslaughter. Differences in carcass traits between twin and single steers were small. Freemartins, 96% of females born co-twin to a male, did not differ from intact twin females in growth traits, but freemartin carcasses had greater (P < 0.05) scores for marbling and USDA quality grade. Efficiency constraints to twin births were increased (P < 0.01) incidence of retained placentas (27.9% vs 1.9%), dystocia (46.9% vs 20.6%) and perinatal calf mortality (14.1% vs 3.6%). Dystocia of twins resulted primarily from malpresentation of one or both calves. Fertility was reduced 11.6% (P < 0.01) after a twin birth and 7.3% (P < 0.05) after a retained placenta, but the effect of twinning on fertility varied (P < 0.01) among years and seasons. Collectively, twinning increased productivity at weaning by 54.2 kg (or 28.3%) per cow exposed at breeding.

See the thing with dog food is... there doesn't seem to be ONE dog food that works with all dogs.
Some dogs do okay with grains (Corn, wheat, rice, barley)
Some don't
Some do better on grain free
Some do better with lower protein,
Some with higher protein
Some have allergies to certain proteins (Chicken, beef, lamb, turkey, duck, etc)
Some have allergies to starch (potatoe, peas)
Some do better with RAW
Finding a food that works with your dog is basically a trial and error process.
Personally I have always avoided a certain set of ingredients - the ingredients I consider to be the worst of the worst (Corn-in any form, wheat, by-products, animal digest, and chicken fat if listed in the first 4 ingredients)
Sorry if this isn't much help to you. We have switched foods numerous times. Hoping to go RAW in the spring.

We're still experimenting here too...
1) Duke came to us on a gorcery store brand puppy food. He did ok on it but he pooped a lot and his stools weren't ideal. He didn't have much energy either.
2) We switched him to Fromm Gold Large Breed Puppy. This food is corn, wheat and by-product free but not grain free. Again, he did ok on it but we noticed it gave him some bad gas and he was scratching at his ears and body a little bit more than he really should be so we decided to switch him to grain free kibble.
3) We switched him to Fromm Four-Star grain-free. They do not have a puppy grain-free kibble in the Fromm Four-Star grain-free line so this is an all stages food. He was doing much better on this - no gas, little to no scratching - however, he is shedding a LOT more than he used to! I don't believe it is a seasonal thing because it's been going on for a few weeks now. Also, it is VERY expensive!
4) We're now transitioning him to Blue Buffalo Freedom (grain-free) puppy. I do think he's missing something from not being on the puppy formula... I hope this will be the last transition (besides transitioning from puppy to adult food). So far he really seems to like it (still mixing with his old food). But his nose was all up in the bag as soon as it came into the house.
So yes, totally trial and error so far!

I agree, it is trial & error. Pheona came to us susposibly on kibbles n bits (I put her on puppy milk replacement per instruction of the vet) then put her on lamb & oatmeal BB. We recently changed her to BB Freedom. Murphy came to us on puppy chow. We transitioned her to BB lamb & oatmeal. Then we changed her to BB Freedom. They are both doing great now.

If you are feeding kibble, grain-free is probably the best way to go. Do you have a budget? Grain-free kibble can be expensive. If you can't afford grain-free and your dog can tolerate grains, look for a food that is corn, wheat and by-product free.
This website can help you choose: Dry Dog Food Reviews | Dog Food Advisor
Look for 4-5 star foods. Those will be the best for your dog.
As for gaining weight, you should follow the recommended amounts on the packaging. If your dog isn't maintaining weight then you can up it appropriately. Just be sure not to overfeed as that can cause other tummy issues like vomiting and diarrhea.

When we got Murphy he was on puppy chow and we have switched him to the BB freedom about a month ago. He was itching quite often. More so than normal and I found out that sometimes they can have allergies to the grains in the food. After we switched the itching substantially calmed down his coat was smoother and it looks a lot darker.

I tried bb longevity before we switched to the grain free freedom line- I do think it is good food- except for the fact that it is not grain free. It is fish based- which is good an higher in omega fatty acids- but so is the freedom- grain free line- it's chicken and not fish tho--- my puppy hated the fish and didn't want to eat it, but he now loves the freedom- chicken. Stools have greatly improved with feeding grain free- and now we found out he has to eat grain free or his hair falls out and he gets diarrhea.

Smart for Life
A low calorie cookie diet supervised by a medical doctor.Top Rated Diet Shakes of 2017

Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2017?
Eat decadent carbs like cookies and muffins and lose weight? Sounds great, doesn't it? That is the premise behind the Smart for Life diet. The program uses its own line of "no hunger" foods and its own interventions like vitamin injections that are used to correct any metabolic conditions. All of this is accomplished under the supervision of a medical doctor. Smart for Life promises to help you lose 12-15 pounds in one month as long as you adhere to their program.
The Smart for Life program is built on the premise that 25% of overweight or obese people have metabolic or hormonal conditions that prevent them from losing weight.
With a line of "no hunger" foods like muffins, cookies, soups, shakes and desserts, all of the foods are made with organic and natural ingredients and contain protein, fiber and amino acids. Most famous for the Smart cookie, the product line has expanded to include different flavors and products of their trademark line.
In the fall of 2010, Smart for Life introduced its first ever gluten-free product, a gluten-free Banana Chocolate Chip square. The square is low in calories and includes HeroFiber(TM), a super fiber, which includes ForteFiber(TM) Soluble Dietary Fiber, which helps to maintain cholesterol, glucose and insulin levels that are already within the normal range. By adding this new gluten-free product, the weight loss plan can now be followed by anyone who follows a gluten-free diet.
The program also includes education and motivation instruction to help you target the emotional and mental issues behind your cravings, binges and weight issues. As part of the program, you are teamed up with a physician who works one-on-one with you to customize a program and treat any underlying metabolic dysfunction that you may have.
Once you sign up, you undergo a comprehensive physical examination that includes blood work, an EKG, a Body Mass Index analysis and a discussion of the program vitamin and supplement component. In some cases, injections of Smart injections at done at specified Smart for Life Centers.
You work with the Smart for Life staff at the designated Smart for Life Centers each week to monitor your weight loss. Once you've reached your weight goal, you enter into Phase 2 of the program which is the maintenance stage. Constant contact with the trained health professionals is required until you feel confident enough to keep your weight under control on your own.
But the Smart for Life Medical program also requires that you receive an injection of hCG, a growth hormone that increases during pregnancy. hCG is a very controversial diet practice because its long-term health effects are not known and it is not accepted or approved of by the medical community. The Smart for Life Medical Weight Loss program recommends the dieter receive this Smart Injection, which is intended to kick-start your weight loss and gives you a serious boost in energy. Just how long you must receive the injections is not known.

- Teaches healthy eating habits that will allow you to maintain weight loss
- Food products are organic and all-natural
- Maintain healthy blood sugar levels and metabolism
- No scientific proof that the metabolic and hormonal conditions cited as being dysfunctional in overweight people are in fact dysfunctional

- Smart for Life food line may be more of a marketing hype than the real deal
- Extremely low calorie diet
- Uses hCG injections as a way to stimulate weight loss, a very controversial and potentially dangerous practice
On the Smart for Life eating program (the program doesn't like using the word "diet") you consume seven balanced meals throughout the day, which are intended to keep you in the fat burning zone continuously.
Six of those meals are Smart for Life cookies and one healthy, low fat dinner of chicken or fish with five cups of vegetables as outlined in your Program Guide included in your order.
The Smart for Life eating routine is built along the concept of mini-meals and retraining your body and mind to eat small and portion-controlled meals regularly throughout the day.
Daily caloric intake for Smart for Life is about 800 calories per day, eating seven meals and their food products, namely the Smart for Life cookies, and a healthy, low fat, high protein dinner.
Smart for Life cookies contain a proprietary blend of amino acids, fiber, and vitamins that are designed to quell cravings and give you the nutrition your body needs.
In addition, you can also use the cookies as a basis for certain Smart for Life recipes, like a Summer Parfait, which adds sugar-free preserves and chocolate dips to crumbled cookies.
There are also Smart Shakes, Smart Muffins and Smart Soups which can also be eaten as part of the Smart for Life program. One shake is the equivalent of two cookies and one soup or one muffin is the equivalent of one cookie.
The Smart for Life products contain HeroFiberTM, a super fiber blend, fish oil, plant sterols, inulin, flax seed, whole oats, and canola oil. There is also a gluten-free Smart for Life Banana Chocolate Chip Granola Square for those who cannot tolerate the protein gluten.EXERCISE
On the Smart for Life diet, exercise is only a part of the maintenance of your weight loss. You will work with a Smart for Life health representative to work out an exercise plan that allows you to maintain your goal weight.
When you do start an exercise program on the Smart for Life program, you are encouraged to increase your intake of water and other clear and calorie-free liquids.
Once you have reached your goal weight, it is recommended that you exercise moderately for at least 3 hours per week.CONCLUSION
The Smart for Life program is not that much different from other similar diet programs that have you consuming specific trademarked food in order to achieve weight loss. But a very stark red flag with the Smart for Life program is its requirement of hCG injections to jumpstart weight loss. This potentially dangerous and controversial weight loss practice has unknown health effects and is not accepted by the medical community.
The good news is that the Smart for Life program does incorporate such an eating plan with the addition of using their specific foods as well as an exercise plan once you reach your maintenance phase.Moreover, this program does instill in the dieter tools and knowledge for keeping weight off for good.
Even though the Smart for Life is under the supervision of medical doctors who can monitor your progress safely, you are strongly encouraged to exercise caution before spending any money on this weight loss program.
Rather, research on successful weight loss programs has shown us that long-term and immediate weight loss comes from a smart exercise program and an eating plan that includes a low calorie, low saturated fat diet.Common Misspellings

I have been on it since March 6th and I think I have done pretty good. I just think being HONEST with yourself and what you put in your mouth is the key to weightloss. I have a thyroid condition that makes weight come off hard and the first week 13 1/2 pounds came off... I was being honest with myself and deserved that weight off! I started a facebook page you can find me on HeatherLaFrenier at hotmail, add me there are two people on there now and support is a GREAT help!!! Good Luck to you all!
I actually GAINED weight on this diet. Tried it for over a month, followed all of the rules. Ended up selling the rest of it cheap on ebay. Good riddance.
I agree with Josh.....I have read about this SCAM! Like all others but if if works for you then it works. OK.......Low calorie and exercise lets see I can do that on my own. That is what the plan is and your paying alot of money for that.
Very tasty! I lost 17 lbs in 5 weeks; not too shabby.
Hey Josh - do have a clue or a concept about the diet? I would imagine you are overweight and that is why you are here. You see a doctor when you do the 800 calorie diet. The cookies are designed to keep your insulin level stable throughout the day. The cookies are nutritional squares. Just because you have no will power, don't put your jibber jabber out there about a diet that you know nothing about. People want to lose weight and with Smart For Life they will. Listening to you, they will remain overweight, just as you do. Ignorance is something you can change, try it - you might even lose some weight!
I feel that this is the first time that my thyroid condition was addressed properly - the range for tsh is "supposed to be 0.6 - 4.6 but in fact Thyroid doesn't work well past 2.0 but mine is 4.1 - so they are addressing that issue and I am losing weight where I had trouble losing anything without constant exercise with weight watchers, jenny craig, optifast and nutrisystem. I do in fact exercise twice a week on this diet - which shows that the no exercise in the commentary is not true. I am on the 800 calorie diet - and they let me exercise from day 1. I lost 28 1/2 lbs. the first month.
Have lost thirteen pounds in one month ! I am loving this diet. I actually eat some low Glycemic foods with the diet, and exercise. I did feel that the calorie count was to low for working out. So, I feel great and am losing at a slower rate. What I noticed though is that I am not hungry, and I am not having cravings....That is what has caused failure in the past. So, people can say what they want, success is what works for you. Thank you God for Smart for Life.
Its a starvation diet. You run to the bathroom for days on end. You get light headed and dizzy... and you know the doctor who promoted it on the DOCTORS tv show is being paid to push their product he is on their websight as a spoke person... he's getting paid as a DOCTOR to push a starvation diet?? God, Americans we fall for anything. Eat cat poop and lose six pounds a week... someone would actually do it. Eating less. Moving more. Does it. This diet can cause muscle loss... heart attack... a drop in Blood pressure... weakness... exhaustion... bowel discomfort... the backdoor trots... think people eat 120. calories for breakfast a snack at 10 and lunch and you should get the same results. Good luck I know we'll hear someone died on this eventually.
Smart For Life cookies are natural and organic with no preservatives. They have the perfect balance of protein, carbs, amino acids, etc., and that is what curbs your hunger. If you eat each cookie with at least 8 ounces of water, you will not be hungry. If you do not drink enough fluid, you will be hungry. Dr Seigel cookies have a preservative called Microcrystilline Cellulose in them and that's a filler, a filler that is only digestible by termites and other small critters (as stated at Forbes.com).
Hello everyone, I like to start off with I totally agree with Christine! If your not losing weight you to analyze and seriously be honest with yourself! So I started this diet March 6th and have lost so far a total of 14 pounds! I do have a day of leisure which is Saturday and I have that becasue honestly I think I would of gave up if I didnt have something to look forward to. I dont go to extremes on Saturday and I still have my cookies but I have what I want for dinner and if we go to the movies Ill eat popcorn! It a lifestyle change so Im making it a bit realistic! The diet is great if you follow it you lose weight the first three days I was STARVING it eased after the week was through! But now I have alot of energy, I wasnt able to workout due to a recent surgery till recently like three days ago I started going back to the gym and I feel great! I have a shake in the morning which is 2 cookies and 3 cookies throughout the day and a choclate muffin after dinner to kick that craving for sugar! I also chew gum alot so Im not tempted to put something in my mouth!
Well good luck everyone!
I have lost 10 pounds in 1 week. Of course I am active, so it continues to go this fast, I will need to increase my calorie intake. Maybe eating low GI foods like yogurt and cottage. Anyone have any other suggestions, please feedback ?
I have been on the diet for 3 weeks now and have lost 6.5 lbs. I do feel a bit tired though. My husband and I split the 5 weeks, and ran out of the Smart for Life cookies. There is a GNC store near us and he bought the Dr. Siegal's cookies. I actually like them better, as they do not have the aftertaste I disliked in the Smart for Life cookies. Also for some reason they keep me feeling fuller. I am going to continue the cookies, but with Dr. Siegals. I hope to get to 130-135 lbs.
Started 3 days ago...unbelievable. I am not hungry or tired. I was a little nervous when hearing others were tired..I am a busy person. I have plently of energy, and not experiencing cravings or hunger.
I've been on the smartforlife weight loss program now for a month and a half and have lost 21 lbs. I absolutely love it and recommend the program. I go to the St. Lucie location and the staff is absolutely supportive and are focused on your success.
Actually I am on the fence. Have been on it for a week and a half. I will weigh myself on Sunday. The thing that really bothers me is that I am often hungry on this diet...really hungry. And I am definitely more tired than usual. The cookies are edible but that is it. I started at 148 lbs, 5 feet 4 inches, so you would not think I would be so hungry. I was on Weight Watchers once before and lost weight but was never hungry or tired. This is a real negative for me.
Hi Guys! I'm debating on doing the Smart for Life diet vs. Dr. Siegal's Cookie DIet.....how do they compare to each other?? If someone could please let me know....thanks!
Michelle, I drink about 3 litres a day, Pretty close to the 100oz.. So after 2 weeks of dedication, I had slow results. Last week was a complete "off" week, but I tried to at least make smart choices with my food. Today I am back on the horse. I haven't weighed myself in a few days, will update soon.
I love this program. I did it a year ago, and it helped me to lose 30 pounds...It is not only the program but also the people who are next to you helping you to meet your goal. I go to Aventura center and believe me they encourage you to lose the weight and not get it back. LOVE IT...LOVE THE PROGRAM!
I read the comments and negativity breeds negativity. Admit it, you lost nothing because you didn't follow the diet. It's impossible to eat 800 calories on a medical program and lose no weight, unless you cheat. If you have a medical issue, the doctor can figure it out. If you can't follow a diet - don't trash it. You are the failure, not the diet!
Momma Chicken Noodle Soup, Bagel chips, awesome balsamic salad dressing that I take with me everywhere - this diet is the best I tried and the most successful. I started out a size 22 and now I'm a size 7

Prepare yourself for a severe case of the giggles because Avokiddo Emotions – Playful Learning for Kids will bring hours of silly, side-splitting fun to your family. This app is a fantastically fun way to teach your kids about different emotions while engaging in play. Your kid will instantly fall in love with the crazy animal friends that come to play in this app. Since downloading this app last week, every one of my family from my 2 year old to my husband has played (and thoroughly enjoyed) this app!
Players can choose from 3 zany animals: a crazy zebra, a bashful sheep and a happy-go-lucky giraffe. When the animal appears on the screen, so do a variety of toys and props that you can use to interact with that character and elicit emotional responses. You can feed the animals a variety of foods and try to figure out which ones they like and which ones they don't based on their reactions. Dress them up in silly glasses or hats and watch them make silly faces or act embarrassed. A plethora of mustaches is available to try on with bowties, wigs and crowns. There are musical instruments for them to play, whistles to blow, megaphones to talk into…the possibilities are truly endless. Some costume combinations will even change the background on the screen and the animal will transform into a pilot or a fireman. Once you get tired of the props on your screen, drag the lever on the right hand side down and a whole new batch of props will appear!
I absolutely recommend this app to any family. I really love apps that I can play with my children and enjoy as much as they do. We have had so much fun playing with these cute animal characters and watching their different reactions to what we do to them. Not only have we laughed together and spent time together, but it has been a fantastic way to teach my younger children about different emotions and how our actions can elicit emotions in others. One of our favorite things to do with this app is to pick a prop and then make predictions about how the animal will respond to it. This app is not one that your children will grow bored with quickly. The variety and endless combinations of props keep the fun coming. The graphics and sound effects are amazing and truly add to the experience of playing this app. This is by far, one of my favorite apps that I have reviewed thus far. Avokiddo Emotions is innovative, educational, engaging and just downright fun! Download it today and take a few minutes to giggle with your kids!
Disclosure: I received a free copy of this app for review purposes.

Food giant Nestle is to create 1,600 jobs for young people over the next three years, and hundreds of paid work experience placements.
The jobs will range from sales assistants to business management as well as working on the shop floor.
Chief executive Fiona Kendrick said: "Sadly, young people in the UK and Ireland are stuck in a catch-22 situation - they can't get a job without experience, but can't get experience without a job.
"As employers we value young people with experience, so we have to provide them with enough opportunities to gain it."
Nestle said it will offer 300 paid work experience placements in its factories, offices and sales teams as well as helping social enterprise group MyKindaCrowd to give skills and employability training to more than 12,000 school and college students.
The placements will be for four weeks and will pay above the national minimum wage.
A study published by Nestle today showed that nine out of 10 businesses felt young people left school ill-equipped to start work.
The survey of 250 business leaders also revealed that two thirds believed work experience was the best way of giving young people skills to find work.
A separate poll of 500 teenagers found that only a third were given any on-the-job training.
Skills minister Matthew Hancock said: "The food and drink industry is facing a pressing skills gap and it is critical that businesses take action to engage and attract young people into the sector.
"I welcome all businesses who offer high-quality work experience, which is vital for youngsters and firms to bridge the gap between school, college and work and help build a talent pipeline for the future. It is encouraging that Nestle, as a large UK employer, are helping to open up opportunities for young people across their business."

Subaru WRX Forum (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/)
- Bolt-on Tech (EJ255/EJ257 2.5L '04-07 STi and '06-07 WRX) (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f75/)
- - What the hell! The STI is a 2.5!! (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f75/what-hell-sti-2-5-a-1080/)
What the hell! The STI is a 2.5!!
300 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm! 300 lb. Torque @ 4,000 rpm! And it has DCCD! All I can say is what the hell! I am dumfounded, I did not expect this. Darkstar drops to the floor.
It is quite amazing isn't it. Subaru dropped a bomb on the Evo release, giving us everything the jdm market STi has and more. So who here is thinking of putting down a deposit?
Here you go guys [url]http://impreza.subaru.com[/url] Thought about putting a deposit but don't really care too much for the redesigned front, but then again I kind of didn't like the front of my WRX when I was first looking at it. They grow on you. Other than that it is awesome. Thank you.
I would put money down right now if I had it. Im going to start my STI fund, I will have enough buy one in the year 2006 maybe 2005.
Well IU'm a little upset about it ### dammit, I would've held out a little longer for that baby if they didn't imply that they weren't going to bring the sti here to the states. But I guess I don't care too much, I'll be installing my new turbo soon, don't know if I'll be as fast as the sti, but I'll try. Funny though ### I was jealous of the evo for abt 3 days, until I just read abt the sti 300 hp lol, Subaru is too sly.
Is way-cool!!!
I've been staring at the photo... it is growing on me... but i looked at the regular WRX for 2004,,, not liking the way they did the foglamps and hood at all... except for the scoop, it seems taller and more agressive. They should have put the roof scoop on the STi... Anyone know the actual function of that scoop on the WRC car? Ventalation or what? Anyways, I put the roof scoop on my '02 w/ground effects and it looks very radical... And that's all I can say for it... its a real sacrifice for the look (added road noise, PIA to install, adhesives and whatnot)... But overall happy with it because it really sets the car apart from others along w/the ground effects. Anyone want to estimate cost of the STi... I'm thinking (and preying) no more than 33,000-35,000... but bad feelings tell me more like 40,000...??? who knows? WRX was real affordable... so STi can't be too much more... Although, look at the engine,, forged high carbon pistons and whatnot... its got the a lot of the little things over the WRX that can't be easily upgraded... DCCD, etc...
Its a must have, soon as i stop blowing $$$ on my current WRX and can afford STi,,, gonna be a couple of years. by then, there should be an even more rediculous version on the market, if even possible.
[QUOTE]Anyone know the actual function of that scoop on the WRC car? [/QUOTE]
It's for ventilation. The WRC cars don't have AC.
I'm excited about the 6-speed tranny. Plus the with 2.5 it should have that extra torque.
Will the 04 2.5 STI engine fit in the 02 WRX engine bay?
Or will the imported 01-02 STI engine fit in the 02 WRX?
STI is great but are there any cheaper ways to get the 300hp and 300ft/lbs, rather then trading or selling a WRX and then upping the $7-8k difference for the 04 STI?
Yes, add an exhaust and engine management. the TurboXS stage 2 or the vishnu stage 0 (1?) should get you there for around $2K. It's not going to get you the STi handling or 6 speed transmission though.
easily get the extra HP in your 02 WRX
You can easily add a few nice upgrades to get the 300hp. But don't think that because you've got 300hp, that you're driving something like the STI... The STI (from the literature i've read) is so much more than just a 300HP, 300ft/lb or torque WRX. It's like taking a WRX, and upgrading everything about it, not just engine power. So the STi will be well worth every penny. And no doubt will be the fastest, most powerful car one can buy from the manufacturer for the $$$. But if you don't have the $$$, or like me, just bought an 02 a year ago and already dropped over $3000 to upgrade it, then just put your $$ into upgrade items. I bought TurboXS exhaust, cold air intake, and irridium tip spark plugs and the increase in power is quite superb. and the car sounds bad@$$ too. I also bought ground effects and roof scoop, and the car turns plenty of heads. Its just about daily that someone wants to know what car this is, or how do i like the driving the WRX. I even had a cop pull me over for speeding and said "i let you off with a warning if you get out and let me peek under the hood" We proceeded to BS about the car for 10 minutes and he didn't even car that I had no front license plate (illegal in OH)... I want an STi badly, but I can't afford it and I am still very happy with my 02 WRX
The STi looks awesome! I've been saving up for my 02' WRX since october, but ever seen i heard that the STi is coming across shores very soon i've decided to save up for the STi instead. I mean, damn.....300hp!
i think that the 2.5 on sti is more room for more ponies+ torque
Good lord....this car is everything that i was looking to do to a wrx...all of the interior is awesome; seats, aluminum trim, steering wheel, AWESOME IC waterspray...and it's obviously less risky, and less hassle than modding....but for less. Seeing as how the 280bhp japan version from last year allegedly tested at around 350bhp...i wonder if this 300 is really 300...or more around 350...360...370???
oh man, ive been lookin into the mazda 6 and the s2000 along with the wrx..... and i was just sold to one :) i ordered a brochure for the 2004 sti..... i think not only does it look bad ass but it will live up to its name. Any one know ### the msrp will be on this thing? Im so tempted to go give a deposit right now :) but i think i should do somemore research first

We knew a large screen Kindle was coming this week and bang on cue, here it is...
Dubbed the 'Kindle DX' it does exactly what we expected fitting a 9.7in display (up from 6in) for easier reading of newspaper context or textbook-style pages. It features the same 16 shades of gray e-ink as the Kindle 2.
Other changes are minimal with the admittedly handy inclusion of an accelerometer to auto rotate the screen, an increased 3.3GB of storage and native PDF support which should win it favour from the business sector. As I speculated the DX also offers subscriptions to automatically deliver daily content from the New York Times, while the WSJ, Time, New Yorker and various blogs have signed up as well.
Elsewhere little is different from the Kindle 2 with integrated WiFi, text-to-speech functionality and an ultra thin and fairly light design (264 x 183 x 10mm and 536g). Interestingly, Amazon talks in vague terms of "Long Battery Life" but doesn't divulge how the larger screen specifically impacts the number of page turns.
One final point - and this is a major disappointment - is the price with Amazon quoting a whopping $489 (£324) compared to the still-high $359 (£238) for the Kindle 2. I suspect this will be a deal breaker for many.
The Kindle DX is on pre-order in the US now though an official delivery date has yet to be revealed. Whether we see either it or the Kindle 2 hit the UK any time soon also seems doubtful but given the exchange rate that may prove a blessing in disguise.

Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Closed Circuit is an English crime thriller that focuses for a while on talking and discovering information and then has a big chase-and-escape sequence at the climax. There's some fighting and a little blood when a woman is attacked and fights back. There's also a lethal explosion that kills 120 people and a car crash. "F--k" is used a few times, but, overall, language is sparse. A flashback shows kissing, and there's some flirting. One minor character is said to be a heroin dealer; he's shown suffering from using the drug. Some characters smoke cigarettes. The movie's tone/structure -- which asks audiences to think heavily during the first two-thirds and then turn off their brains during the last act -- makes it seem unlikely to appeal to a broad audience.
- Sexual Content
- The two main characters are former lovers; in one scene, viewers see flashbacks to them dancing and kissing. Otherwise, they keep each other at a distance (until the very end, when they start flirting again).
- Violence
- There's a huge explosion during the opening moments in which 120 people are said to have died. During the movie's final stretch, the main characters are chased and attacked. Two men try to choke the heroine. The first time, she smashes a glass in her attacker's face and bites him; some blood is shown. The second time, she's rescued when a character bashes her attacker in the head. A 14-year-old boy is briefly in danger. The hero lives through a car crash.
- Language
- "F--k" is used a few times, plus "s--t," "prick," and "Jesus" (as an exclamation).
- Social Behavior
- The movie takes place in a world of corruption at the highest and most powerful levels, where an individual has no hope of changing anything -- and, indeed, may suffer the consequences for even trying. But at the very last moment, a chorus of voices may hope to chime in and be heard.
- Consumerism
- Not applicable
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- A minor character is said to be a heroin dealer. He's shown suffering and sick from using prison heroin (which is cut and not as strong as pure heroin, viewers are told). Some secondary characters smoke cigarettes, and the male lead is shown smoking one cigarette.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

I love it when it starts to get cooler. At night when I sleep with Mommy and Daddy, I can go under the covers and snuggle with them. In the summer it's too hot to snuggle.
I also like to sit at the patio door and watch the chipmunks. They're fast ,but I'm faster and I could prove it if Mommy would just let me out there!
I know it's summer. I know Mommy and Daddy don't like to have the air conditioning on ALL the time. I know at night they like to have the fan on to cool downthe bedroom. I HATE THE FAN!
I refuse to sleep in the bed with the fan blowing on me. Blech! It's too hot to sleep under the covers therefore I'll just make a nest in Mommy and Daddy's closet. But I'm not happy about it.
Happy birthday Bailey & Devlin. I was too sure about you two when Mommy & Daddy brought you home but I guess you turned out ok.
The best part of today is that we all get somethig special for dinner tonight. I'm looking forward to that.

06/30/2010 Air spring systems from the Hanover-based company are installed in the Gautrain - The new train takes visitors to the World Cup stadiums in South Africa
Hanover, June 2010. To the World Cup football stadiums with ContiTech know-how: ContiTech Air Spring Systems, Hanover, has equipped all 96 vehicles of the new Gautrain in South Africa with air spring systems. The systems ensure that the football fans have a safe and comfortable journey to the World Cup matches. The train was developed by Bombardier Transportation, the world's largest manufacturer of rail transport technology, based in Berlin.

The Gautrain is based on the ELECTROSTAR electric train from Bombardier, which has been in operation in the UK since 2002. "ContiTech air spring systems have already proven to be exceptionally reliable, ensuring problem-free operation in the ELECTROSTAR. The train boasts the highest reliability rate in the entire country," says Friedrich Hoppmann, head of ContiTech's Railway Engineering segment. In the meantime, more than 1,600 ELECTROSTAR vehicles are on the rails in the UK.
The new Gautrain is a key means of transportation in South Africa: the rail network was inaugurated on June 8, just in time to get football fans from all nations to the stadiums for the football World Cup. The new train, which reaches a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour, was named after the Gauteng province, which includes the cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria. The track stretches from Johannesburg via Sandton to Pretoria (Tshwane) and Johannesburg's international airport. The route also passes through a new tunnel near Johannesburg that is a good 15 kilometers long.

Zara Home: Same Customer, Different Approach
February 24, 2012,
FRANKFURT, GERMANY - If H&M has taken a radical approach to merchandising its new home collection, fellow fast retailer Zara is going a more conventional route; at least that appears to be the strategy from visiting a store here down the street from H&M.
The Zara Home unit, one of many in several European countries for the Spanish-based retailer that has also targeted the United States as a major expansion market, is a free-standing unit, unlike H&M Home.
Spreading over two floors, each about 1,000 square feet, the store uses a more traditional merchandising approach toward home with display beds and inventory in fixtures on the selling floor. Designs steer heavily toward neutrals in an assortment that would not be out of place in a Pottery Barn or West Elm store. Soft home dominates both floors, but there is a greater use of decorative accessories like candles and tabletop products than one finds at H&M.
The store's inventory is housed in fixtures on the selling floor, unlike H&M where shoppers pick up their purchases at a central checkout counter.
The two-story Zara Home store in Frankfurt takes a more conventional approach to the category.
There are no Zara Home stores in the United States and the company has not announced plans to open any in the American market. It currently operates 47 apparel stores in the United States.
