Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2017?
If you're looking to curb your appetite, now you can take a shot. Slim Shots triggers the body's natural appetite control mechanism, also known as the ileal brake, satisfying users for long periods of time and in turn, allowing them to eat less, without sacrificing or depriving themselves of tasty foods. You can drink Slim Shots by itself or mix it with your favorite food or drink.
For the best results, you take two shots a day (20 calories each) the first week, then after that, just once during breakfast. Slim Shots is supposed to start working a couple hours after you take it. It has no stimulants, so there are no jittery side effects.
The company rightly advises that you need to do Slim Shots in conjunction with a balanced diet and exercise.PRO
- The Slim Shots website offers clinical studies
- It doesn't act like a cure all, stating that you need to live a healthy lifestyle as well
- Convenient cups travel with you
- No side effects
- Slim Shot is not FDA approved
- There isn't a clear and concise idea of how it actually works, doesn't give specifics about how the ingredients affect change
- Each shot contains 20 calories
- Ingredient Phenylalanine (50% of aspartame), can have dangerous effects for diabetics and those with ADD/ADHD
- Should not be taken by those patients with PKU
Slim Shots contains natural oat, palm oil, artificial vanilla flavor, sweetener, aspartame (Phenylalanine) and beta carotene color.
Phenylalanine makes of 50% of aspartame, an artificial sweetner commonly used in diet products. ADD/ADHD patients and diabetics may experience negative side effects as a result of consuming this ingredient. Those with PKU, or at risk for PKU, should avoid Phenylalanine as it can cause brain damage or even death.EXERCISE
Unlike many other supplement websites, the Slim Shots site gives relatively in-depth nutritional advice. The exercise advice is very rudimentary: Commit to work out three times a week for 30 to 45 minutes. It also advises that you join a fitness class or devise a home workout routine that incorporates both aerobic and strength training.CONCLUSION
The editorial tone on the Slim Shots website doesn't lead you to believe that the company is in the snake oil business. There are clinical studies posted, and good advice about how you should eat and exercise. Even though the language is not over-hyped, there still is some question as to how Slim Shots actually works.
Ultimately, it's up to the consumer to decide if it's worth, um, a shot.Common Misspellings

ive beeen taking 2 shots a day and it helps me control my appetite but i dont see any weight loss changes.maybe is becouse i need to take it for a longer time i take it for 2 weeks now i am going to start my new package today i am hoping for it to work.
I bought it today and took it, and I am not joking, I went to the market an hour later, and I walked through the cookie and pastry aisle without any temptation to buy, and thats huge for me, cause I always always get chips or candy or some sort of junk food, and today I didnt want it. As for the taste, well, they are called slimSHOTS cause your supposed to drink it like a shot...fast and quick...dont sip it. Wash it down with a quick drink of something, its not bad at all when you do it that way. I'll update in a week!
I've been taking it for abbot a week and a half and I think it works! I no I haven't taken it that long but I do notice it work. I notice I don't eat as much as I usually do and I only take one shot at lunch and it last all day, even at dinner i don't get hungry. And I did forget to take a shot for one day and i was still not that hungry and was eating less. So I do think it works. And I don't no if I lost any weight yet cuz I haven't weight myself and also i haven't do any kind of work out, but the slim shot itself is really helping out a lot. The taste isn't that
bad as some people say. It does have a bitter taste but not very strong. When I take it I just chase down with water or juice so The taste wont stay in my mouth. But overall I think slim shot works, I have had tried so many ways to loss weight all my life and this like the first product I think really works. But it does depend on some people too. But it works for me, and I had always been a big gal, and this product actually works.
i have lost 6 pds. in one week.it really has cut my appetite back alot. i dont even eat as much as i used 2...i hope this continues to work!!!!
first shot i took i thought i was going to puke!! So like all things in life I improvised and I leave my shots in the refrigerator a half hour before i take them, even though it says refrigeration not needed on pacakge, it makes it taste much better. I've been on it for a week and a half and it has helped curb my appetite alot!! I don't go back for seconds at dinner because I'm full before I even finish my dinner to begin with. Yeah it affects different people and some of us can handle it,others cant it's life. I know what my weight was before I started, and I have 8 shots to go, so once I finish these, weigh in I will be sure to post again to see if the weight loss results have been affective.
Hello, A few months ago I hit 220lbs. I finally decided to get with a progam and by keeping calories low I've lost down to 187lbs. I still have 40lbs to go and I've reached a slowdown. I was happy to read about your product and started taking it today. I'M NOT HUNGRY! I believe I will be able to continue getting healthy foods and low calories if I'm just not hunger driven--my spirits are lifted, I know I can make this work! I so appreciate being able to include your product in my diet process and ultimately success! No it doesn't taste good and I would appreciate your leaving the aspertame out. This is so bad for the body! However, I had my de-caf tea ready and then downed your product quickly. So far so good! I'll keep you posted.
i am a new mom and gain alot of wieght. I just tried the slim shots today, no side effects so far hope this works.
I recently started taking these slim shots and not only was the taste HORRIBLE!, but I got a very painful stomach ache that followed only an hour later. Now, I've never had diet pills before so maybe this is my bodies reaction to formula's like this. But, seriously ladies, it's not that hard eating smarter choices and trying to get some physical activity 3 times a week. I wish I could get my money back after buying these shots because They're not the answer to weight loss. I do NOT recomend these to anyone!
I am taking Alli and using slim shots. I take Alli with each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and drink a slim shot with my morning and afternoon snack. I have lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks. I noticed that it takes about a week for the slim shots to kick in and about 3 days for the Alli.
I used to take phentermine (prescribed through my doctor) and lost 40 pounds. I could have taken another medication with it but it was really expensive so I opted not too. I tell you this because my doctor told me that Alli is the same medication as the expensive medication he offered me but half the dose. Alli is just packaged uner another name at half the amount of the other medication and sold over the counter. The other has to be prescribed. So I am working on my weight now...on my own...and having success.
Also...I don't work out. I walk MAYBE twice a week and that's it. I know I should exercise more but I HATE working out and I honestly don't have the time. Hope this information helps...
I like the drink but would like to add that I have been having this drink for a week and have noticed no change in my weight (which is a shame). Must say that I feel fuller most of the day and do not have snacks in between. can someone tell me what is the longest period when you can start noticing the changes.
I just started Slim Shots yesterday morning. I am 24, 5'1, and weigh 135. I want to get down to 120. I took two of the vanilla flavor yesterday. The taste leaves an awful aftertaste, but not too bad. I think the taste had something to do with me immediately losing my appetite. I don't think that I will take two a day because it really upset my stomach. I'm still not hungry about 18 hours later, which can't be good, because if you don't eat anything, that can screw up your metabolism. I definitely won't be taking 2 a day, and I doubt I'll need to take one today. Truthfully, Slim Shots have made me nauseous. I threw up after eating an after dinner snack and am still not hungry. I realize that Slim Shots affects everyone differently, but I wonder if it takes your body a period of time to adjust to it. I don't want to feel nauseous all the time.
The cost is a little steep, but if you keep in mind that you eat 30% less, your food bill should be less. Especially if you are a constant snacker or fast food junkie.
Ok- today I bought the stuff. Was allergic to asparatime 25 years ago, but that was when I was living on it. I LOVE beer- I'm very active, in my peri-menopausal funk, and fat. I have about 25 pounds to lose (no, don't care about shooting for a size five-more like from a 16 back to a 12). I actually don't eat that much, but love a few beers a day. What does that mean? None of your business! This is an experiment, I guess. I'll keep you posted. Note: two weeks of slimshots for 20 bucks? That's some expensive asparatime!!!!
I've been on slim shot for two weeks now, and i haven't notice any significant weight lose (I only weight 130) but I have noticed that I am not eating as much. THATS the point isn't it.
I'll give it a couple more weeks to see how it goes, I guess that I'm not loosing as much as I like because I'm not huge to begin with. But the taste is not bad at all... Hopefully these bring me down to 120.
day two of slim shots ,i took my first one with my lunch at 11:00 and my second one in the evening 4:30ish the taste to me was nutty kinda like a strong walnut flavor. i did eat less and it didnt effect my sleep at all. i will report back in a week.
i just bought slim shots chocolate after reading a lot of positive reviews i will keep you updated on my results. i plan on using it in combination with a low carb eating style.
Waste of money. I do not see any difference.
I am 'boarderline' diabetic and wanted a little extra help to cut my appetite. After taking a shot I became hungry even so close to having had a good breakfast. At noon taking a second shot I became ravenous again soon after a god lunch. Thinking it was just a fluke I followed directions and took a couple more shots the next day. Same results! And adding insult to injury was weight gain. This diet aid just did not work for me and I will research ingredients a lot more closely for anything I try in the future!
Is this stuff supposed to be thin and oily? the package says it is creamy but the shot I opened was oily with residue around the rim. Not sure if this is good or spoiled.
I think this product was not worth the price, i just recently tried them for about 39.99 for a box of 30. i tried to refrigerate them and thought they might not be so bad. well first shot in the morning, a horrible taste. i felt like i had drank lotion and oil. discusting. i honestly had to get sick litteraly. never took it again i returned it, it made me feel aweful. to top it off the date on the box was from feb of 2010 i bought in may 1 2010..... thats probably a reason why it was so aweful. but wouldnt try again. one time is good enough. i do have to say however from the way it made me feel and upset my stomach i have had to eat light and easy meals so i guess ill loose weight that way :)

Day 2: NASCAR Drive For Diversity Combine Hits The Fast Track At Langleyby Press Release October 22, 2013 0 comments
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Oct. 22, 2013) – Langley Speedway's repaving last winter provided an added challenge for the 20 drivers participating in the 2013 NASCAR Drive for Diversity Combine. Not only did the already tough .4-mile oval get faster, it meant even the drivers who had previously competed in the Combine there faced new conditions.
The drivers passed that test Tuesday with flying colors.
After spending Monday at Hampton University with the fitness and iRacing evaluations, the drivers were eager to climb into one of three Late Models outfitted for the day-long practice session Tuesday. Each of the 20 drivers went out for individual sessions in the morning, and then returned to the car for longer single-car runs in the afternoon.
"It is a very demanding track," said Rev Racing CEO and owner Max Siegel. "We chose it initially so we can get a feel for the skills of the drivers. Our evaluation has expanded. We're giving them more seat time out there on the track. And just working here with the management at Langley Speedway and the NASCAR officials has been a great step for the program."
For many, like Paige Decker of Eagle River, Wis., it wasn't just a new track, but a different car.
"I'm comfortable on this track, so it was really just learning how to ease into the gas," said Decker. "I'm used to driving a Super Late Model, so I'm trying to tone down my driving a lot for this kind of car."
Decker participated in the Combine last year. This year, her younger sister Claire and cousin Natalie also earned the opportunity to try out for the 2014 Rev Racing team.
"Coming in, I was way more confident and was able to tell my younger sister and cousin what to expect," said Paige Decker. "They had a really good idea of what they were getting into, and I was expected to do so much better because I had been here before."
"I'm really happy with not only how I did but how my sister did. I really think the times are so close, but I really feel like we're there. I'm very happy and pleased with the results."
This is the third year the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program – created in 2004 and now executed by Rev Racing – has partnered with Langley. The NASCAR D4D program is designed to identify and train young female and diverse drivers at the grassroots level who demonstrate necessary talent to climb the ranks within the motorsport industries.
The drivers represent 12 U.S. states and Mexico and come from a wide array of racing experience.
Jay Beasley earned an invitation to the Combine after a 2013 season in which the Las Vegas driver won the Super Late Model championship at The Bullring At Las Vegas Motor Speedway and the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Nevada championship in his first full season.
"This is an experience that's just mind-blowing for me," said Beasley. "I've been thinking about this my whole life. Coming to an event like this and being chosen just to try out for something like this means that other people trust me to represent them. It means a lot to me.
"It's a big opportunity. It's life changing."
Jack Madrid knows what Beasley is talking about. The San Clemente, Calif., driver made the cut last year and spent this season running a Late Model for Rev Racing.
"It was a great year being with Rev Racing and the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program. I learned a lot and can't thank them enough," said Madrid. "This year we have a lot of great people out here testing at the Combine and definitely lit a little fire under me — my seats on the line. These guys are getting the opportunity of a lifetime and should definitely be proud of themselves."
Five different Rev Racing drivers have accounted for 12 wins in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series – NASCAR's top touring series for drivers looking to make it to the national-series level – since Rev Racing began fielding cars for D4D in 2010. In addition, they've had a driver finish in the top three in points each of the four seasons.
This year, four drivers from the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program – Kyle Larson, Paulie Harraka, Darrell Wallace Jr., and Ryan Gifford – competed in an event in one of NASCAR's three national series.
"This is the year we had the most applications, the talent pool is deeper than ever," said Siegel. "The success we've had with the program has generated more interest. And the immense amount of talent on the track today is the result."

IN the past couple of years ROBBIE WILLIAMS has managed to tame the
green-eyed monster that made his blood boil over GARY BARLOW.
For years they had a pop at each other over who was the most talented post TAKE
But now they are best pals again, Robbie is happy to admit he's openly jealous
of the three letters after Gary's name — OBE.
Speaking in front of 20,000 fans at London's O2 arena on Thursday, he said:
"The Queen has seen me perform a number of times now.
"I was at the Jubilee, singing my little heart out. Then last week, at the
Royal Variety Performance, I sang the new single. Pretty well I might add.
"In the line-up at the end, there I am, waiting for a compliment. And she
thought I was Pudsey's minder.
"Gary Barlow OBE. Robbie Williams? Nothing."
Since their war of words ended, Gaz and Rob have written Rob's No1 single
Candy, as well as a series of tracks on the last Take That album.
Even Gary's other half Dawn has forgiven Robbie for the harsh words in the
dark days.
Robbie looked like a new man on stage at the O2. He was on top form and had
the punters in the palm of his hand.
But in a chat with JAMES CORDEN to be shown on Sky1 at 11.20pm tonight,
the star admits he still has his demons.
"I always carry a little Martin O'Neill (Sunderland manager) in my head,"
Robbie confessed.
"Sometimes those sort of voices go A) I don't think you write the songs B) I
don't think you can sing and C) You're cr*p on stage.
"Right now I'm in control of those, that voice and that dissention."
Little Martin O'Neill in his head must have had a night off on Thursday. He
delivered the goods.

Irish Girls Are Back in Town
by Cecelia Ahern
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A rather lackluster collection of stories by some of Ireland's best known female writers (Maeve Binchy, Patricia Scanlon, Marita Conlon-McKenna, etc.).
oh my goodness - over al this book was pretty terrible - there is a run of about 8 stories in the middle that are just too terrible - the one upside was that it really gave me some hope that I could be a published author if this is what the best of Ireland is writing.
there are maybe 2 or 3 stories that I thought were solid and I will be taking note of their authors - but it was not really worth the pain of slogging through all the other stories.
Follow up to "Irish Girls About Town". Not quite as entertaining as expected - a lot of talk about divorce and death. Too heavy for my liking.

The atrocities that we are committing against Mother Nature have manifested in deforestation, desertification, plastic accumulation, water depletion among many more environmental hazards. The serious question to all of us is-'how long could we afford to feign ignorance of our actions?' You would have an answer to this life sustaining question by reading further.
In our elementary schooling days we have studied that plants and trees give us the invaluable oxygen and cause rainfall so that we get water that is so crucial for our sustenance. Nevertheless, we give a damn to protect our lifelines. We are burning down the rainforests to make way for cattle farming. It is estimated that for each pound of beef produced, 200 square feet of rainforest is destroyed. Trees take decades to grow. But we bring them down in few minutes to make furniture, to build ships or to make household utensils. Even to this day, in some villages trees are cut down to satisfy the need for firewood. After doing all these irresponsible acts, we claim that we are civilised. Some of the tribal clans in the America, Africa and Asia know how to scientifically protect the forest resources despite depending on natural resources for most of their needs. We normally fail to realise the importance of the gifts of nature simply because we don't have to pay money to get them. Most of us are not aware of our responsibility to hand over the natural resources to the next generation in the same manner that we got from our forefathers. Imagine a day when we have to pay for artificially manufactured oxygen. The company or the government that would sell oxygen will become demigods. In such a scenario, exploitation and looting will definitely become rampant. Yet none of us are ready to accept the truth and we continue to ignorantly cut down the trees to make quick money.
According to the UN Environment Program (UNEP) report, almost one-third of the earth's land surface inhabited by about 500 million people is becoming desert in some sense as a result of global warming. The glaciers that are the important part of the ecosystem are melting at a rapid pace. While, the twelve main desert regions of the world are becoming very hostile to live on. Our irresponsible actions such as overusing ground water, contaminating the soil with salt, polluting air, building road, emitting greenhouse gases among others things are to be blamed for this man-made disaster of global warming leading to desertification. Most of us are ambitious and futuristic when it comes to our individual lives. We plan and work towards our goals in life. Also, I know of many companies that regularly conduct strategic meetings wherein every member contributes his or her creative ideas in terms of where the company should be in the next one year or even the next ten years! And, collective ideas work wonderfully as the goal becomes a team goal supported and promoted by the maximum number of employees. In contrast, many government policies are totally ignored by 99 per cent of people around the globe even though such policies are chalked to protect the Mother Earth who continues to carry us without complaining. One of the reasons for this lethargic attitude is the lack of understanding of the consequences. Or, maybe because we all understand that the consequences of our anti-environment actions would be fully evident only during the lives of our children or grandchildren. But, fortunately or unfortunately, it looks like we are going to witness the consequences of our terrible mistakes very soon! Whoever has said we have to reap what we sow, deserves Nobel prize for environment, if at all there is one.
Plastic and Garbage Dump
It may not be wrong to say that we live in the plastic age. Plastics are part of cars, bikes, consumer products, and furniture. Apart from this, plastics are used to contain the groceries that we buy from our neighbourhood shop. So, obviously lots of plastic wastes are bound to be collected at our homes. And, how do we eliminate them? We just throw them wherever we like except in our premises. We are so lethargic that we often throw garbage contained in plastic carry bags at the community dustbins but not inside them. So, most of the dustbins are left empty but the surrounding areas are filled with plastic wastes and garbage that attract scavengers. We don't realise that plastics take about 30 years to decay. When they are burnt harmful chemicals are emitted that cause infertility in human beings. Plastics left flung into open drains and sewers clog the system resulting in water stagnation thereby leading to innumerable health hazards including increased mosquito population. Worst, plastics are sometimes consumed by cattle and dogs resulting in death. Banning plastics altogether is not a viable option, though, at this point in time. An ideal solution to the plastic problem would be to recycle used plastics completely. However, only up to 60 per cent of the plastic produced in our country are recycled and put to alternative use. It is high time that we collect and re-cycle all the used plastic so that we can save the precious lives of our children and pets in future.
Depleting Water Resources
Water is our second lifeline after air. Rapid increase in population has put pressure on the scarce water resources such as ground water, river water and rain water. Depleting ground water has led to sea water making inroads into the ground water territory. This has resulted in salination of the soil. Rivers are becoming dry and some countries are already using sea water after desalinating the salt contents of the water. To make the matter worse, we pollute our sacred rivers in the form of industrial wastes. Sewage water flows amidst habitat and the government is least bothered to take corrective actions. In these days of scarce water, rain water harvesting ensures the availability of water, prevents ground water depletion and prevents soil erosion. But, unfortunately, very few of us adopt rain water harvesting. We don't feel the need to do so as our municipal corporation is catering to our water requirements. We don't care to waste water. We think that money can buy unlimited water forever, which is sadly not true. It's only when we see the problem clearly and closely that we try to do something. Rajasthan, a desert land, hardly receives any rainfall. But, people of Rajasthan are motivated enough to collect rainwater whenever it rains and store it for later use. This practice has saved them despite the water starved conditions in which they live.
To err is human but to repeat it is foolishness! By taking corrective measures and not repeating the mistakes that we have been doing, we can save our Mother Nature. We all must realise that it is our future that is in danger and not just the future of our children or grandchildren.

Do We Know What Kids in the Hospital Think of Their Care? Check.
May 8, 2013, 10:30 AM, Posted by Nancy Ryan-Wenger
Nancy Ryan-Wenger, PhD, RN, CPNP, FAAN, is the director of nursing research and an investigator at the Center for Innovation in Pediatric Practice at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. As a grantee of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative (INQRI), she was a lead investigator of the first-ever study to systematically elicit the views of hospitalized children and adolescents on the quality of their nursing care, and also the first to evaluate children's perceptions of nurses' behavior for evidence of any disparities across demographic groups. This is part of a series of posts for National Nurses Week, highlighting how nurses are driving quality and innovation in patient care.
Have we asked the children?
That became a pressing question for me when I retired from academia after 30 years and joined the staff of Nationwide Children's Hospital. I became aware of things that are highly important to hospitals, such as opinions of the quality of care. Yet when I saw the patient surveys at Nationwide, they were almost always completed by parents, and 80 percent of the questions were geared toward parents: Were they kept informed of their child's condition? Did they have a comfortable place to sleep? Was their child treated kindly by staff member?
Those are important questions, certainly, but if you're doing a patient survey, don't you want to know what the patient thinks?
Have we asked the children?
The INQRI study included 496 children and youth, ages 6 to 21. We knew that nurses were with them 24 hours a day, so we asked them two questions about their care: 1) "What do you like most about your nurses and what they do for you, and how does that make you feel?"; 2) "What don't you like about your nurses and what they do for you, and how does that make you feel?" Their responses were sorted into 18 categories of nurse behaviors. Many of the 12 that were regarded as positive behaviors—such as "gives me what I need when I need it," "checks on me often," "talks and listens to me," and "is nice and friendly to me"—were important for us to know, and they were things that parents never mentioned. These positive behaviors made the children feel cared about, safe, and happy. Six categories were regarded as negative, such as "wakes me up" and "doesn't give me what I need when I need it."
Overall, children felt that their nurses cared about them, regardless of how many behaviors they did or did not like. Keep in mind that approximately 3 million children and adolescents are hospitalized every year, and their experiences in the hospital can influence their attitudes toward health care—receiving it, and even pursuing it as a career—for the rest of their lives. Children can accurately report their feelings about quality of care, and the study findings strongly suggested that their perspectives on their care in hospitals should be elicited and considered when evaluating nursing practices and procedures.
We've turned the results into a clinical trial with a 10-item checklist that's used for daily interviews with kids and daily evaluations for nurses—not to reward or penalize them, but simply to guide them. It's the right thing to do. Nurses who work with children do so because they love children and they want them to have the best care.
The hospital administration has been very supportive, and I've met with Nationwide's survey vendor, who is interested in marketing a new survey for children. We're also expanding the clinical trial to a second site, Advocate Children's Hospital in Oakbrook, Illinois. The support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation through INQRI has allowed us to answer "Have we asked the children?" with a resounding "yes," and that's been a really good thing to do.

The Canon EOS M3 is the third stab at a CSC from what is still probably the biggest name in cameras. It follows the 2012 Canon EOS M, a camera that did so badly Canon didn't even bother to release the follow-up M2 in the UK, Europe or US.
So has Canon come back into the world of compact system cameras with a bang? Not really.
Its manual controls, build and handling are all great. But the limited lens selection and uninspiring features make this £600 bundle seem a bit dated next to rivals like the Sony Alpha 6000 and Samsung NX500.
The last year or so has seen compact system cameras tend to try to offer more lifestyle-leaning features and designs. That means more style, fewer millimetres in every dimension.
However, the Canon EOS M3 doesn't play that game. It looks and feels more like what you'd get if you took an EOS DSLR, took all the bits out that separate CSCs from DSLRs and trimmed the body down accordingly.
There's no eye-catching styling here, just a sensible body finished in either white or black. Pro tip: black looks better.
Construction is a good deal stronger than a real entry-level Canon DSLR, though. It has a steel inner shell while the outermost layer is aluminium, getting you a cool and hard feel. Of course, what you'll touch the most is the grip, which has a faux leather finish like many of Canon's cameras.
The chunky grip is one of the Canon EOS M3's wins, making this one of the more comfortable CSCs. You get a sure grip even when when holding and operating the camera one-handed.
It's not for everyone, though. The Canon EOS M3 probably doesn't have the right dimensions if you're out for something small to complement a real high-end DSLR. Everyone has their own standards, of course, but this is one of the chunkier CSCs.
Where it's clearest is in the kit lens. The Canon EOS M3 comes with an 18-55m lens, and it's pretty huge by current standards. Large APS-C CSC kit lenses were something we just had to accept until recently, but now that Sony has switched over to using slimline 'power' lenses for its Alpha models the EOS M3's gigantic kit lens seems a bit past-it.
The Canon EOS M3 doesn't offer you a lot of choice lens choice either. There are only a handful, far fewer than the other CSC systems. An obvious first extra one to get hold of is the 22m f2 lens, equivalent to a 35mm lens. That costs £190. You'll need to get hold of an EF-M to EF adapter if you want to use normal Canon APS-C DSLR lenses as the two types use a slightly different mount.
We found that focusing speeds when using EF lenses varies too. If you want a compact way to use Canon lenses, you're probably better off with a Canon 100D, which is now also significantly cheaper. After all, the mount adapter alone costs £100, and you won't need one with that camera.
We won't deny that some of the Canon EOS M3's higher-end hardware elements feel very nice, though. For one, it's clearly aiming for the enthusiast crowd, using great manual controls.
There's a metal manual control dial that sits around the shutter button itself, and it has a lovely, firm and clicky action. Combined with the exposure dial and secondary control dial on the back (by the D-pad controls), the Canon EOS M3 gets you very complete-feeling control
It has a touchscreen too, and it doesn't feel as though touch operation works against the hardware controls. They fit together well. The Canon EOS M3's touchscreen is dead responsive too, as snappy as a smartphone screen.
Granted, it's most useful for selecting a focus point, but when you do that virtually every time you take a photo, that's important.
The Canon EOS M3 screen is three inches across and offers 1.04-million dot resolution. It's an LCD screen that gets you pretty accurate colours and max brightness that can deal with shooting outdoors in sunlight. You do need to make sure to keep an eye on the brightness level, though, as otherwise the display can make your shots look overexposed when they're not. Such are the limits of an LCD screen's style.
In a first for the EOS M series, the Canon EOS M3 screen also tilts. It flips all the way around 180 degrees upwards to act as a selfie monitor, and can tilt 45 degrees the other way to let you shoot overhead more easily.
This is a pretty successful screen that makes some much-needed modernisations to the EOS M blueprint.
The Canon EOS M3 doesn't have everything, though. The most important omission is a viewfinder, which you can probably tell just by looking at the M3's lines.
Instead, Canon makes a 2.36M-dot EVF accessory that slots onto the EOS M3 using the hotshoe. However, as it and extra £250 it adds to the overall cost pretty significantly.
There is a flash this time, though: the original EOS M shipped with a separate little flash hotshoe unit. It pops out of one side of the top plate.
It has pretty good wireless features too. There's Wi-Fi, plus NFC and even an IR sensor. This lets you use more traditional remote controllers, rather than your phone or tablet, to fire off the shutter remotely.

Most important question: is it better than the competition, specially the Sony A6000. Sony is the front-runner in mirrorless land and most third party devices/adapters/accessories for mirrorless cameras are always first available for Sony E-mount cameras, then Micro 4/3 and after that the rest. So if Canon really wants a piece of this cake, it must be better than the offerings from Sony.
Canon and Nikon have neglected the mirrorless market in the past, probably because they not wanted to cannibalize the DSLR sales. Sony did not hesitate, went ahead and took a big piece of this market, together with the Micro 4/3 gang (Olympus/Panasonic mainly), and even dared to produce full frame mirrorless cameras at a very attractive price point. Now Canon and Nikon have the IHMO very difficult task to catch up.
I have shot a compilation of movie samples shot in low light - high
ISO, full HD, with the EOS M3 in Athens, Greece. ISO value of every
movie sample is shown at the right-bottom side of the video. Chipped and
unchipped legacy lenses were used for shooting the samples of this
Video:Canon EOS M3 Low Light High ISO Movie Test
Pictures of the gear used can be found at my blog post: http://www.epocalibera.com/...
Hope it helps some people.
Canon went to sleep in the DSLR bed and when the woke up they were dazed and confused because Sony slapped them with their gear. They and Nikon are seriously playing catch up in the mirrorless.
Agreed. It's always smarter to cannibalise yourself, rather than let the competition do it for you!
This review was way too polite.
I was going to write the exact same thing. Canon and Nikon have been in cryo-sleep and now they're waking up to see that the camera world has changed. I can't fathom why people keep buying them blindly just because of their brand.
Yes, Nikon and Canon were the popular students in class - that was 10 years ago. Now, they're bums with a big belly hanging around the corner while the others are out running on the tracks...
Ya better hang tight, Canon & Nikon. It's going to be a bumpy ride for the next years to come...
hey it looks alright.
though SONY is very good, the aftersales service in my country traumatizes me.

Lake Superior Cabins: Little Marais MN Lake Homes
View Lake Superior Cabins in Little Marias and other lakeshore properties currently offered on the Northstar MLS/IDX (as available.) If no thumbnails appear below, contact us to locate non-mls listings or Lake Superior cabins in other Minnesota Northshore communities.
Finding Homes on Lake Superior
Here is a direct link to Little Marias lakeshore homes for sale.
Head northeast of Silver Bay in Lake County on MN HWY 61 and if you don't blink, you might see Little Marais, an unincorporated community in Beaver Bay Township originally named Philips Trading Post. If you really want to enjoy solitude in a Minnesota Lake Superior cabin, this is the place to be. Population according to the US 2000 census was only 542, not counting the multitudes of walleyes, deer, moose, beavers, and bears. Unfortunately, the market for lake homes in Little Marais is very tight. At the time of this post, there were only three Little Marias lake homes for sale. If you see one you like, you will need to be decisive to get it, and you need to contact our expert team to get enough information about these lakeshore properties so you do not make an ill-informed decision. Lake Superior lakeshore property is almost a sure bet as far as long-term return on your real estate investment, but we can provide valuable market information about recent sales of Lake Superior cabins in the area so you do not over-invest.
Lake Superior Homes for Sale
Most of the homes on Lake Superior in Little Marais tend to be upper bracket; if your timing is right, you might get a timber-framed redwood chalet with about 200 or so feet of lakeshore and panoramic views of Lake Superior. Other times, you may find a smaller Minnesota lakeshore home on Lake Kitigan in Isabella for under 200K.

How to pet your cat for beginners
Step 1: The Setup
Make sure it is your cat. A cat that is not your cat may be significantly more difficult to pet, and it is likely that you will not be familiar enough with an unfamiliar cat to detect warning signs of impending scratches. For your own sake (and to avoid any alienation of affection) I will only describe means to pet your own cat.
Step 2: The Approach
Make your cat complacent. A hungry cat is an angry cat. For beginners, find a quiet, peaceful environment with few distractions, no other cats, and no small, hyperactive children (this last requirement may be voided if you are a small, hyperactive child).
Step 3: Opening
Pet your cat. Start with light petting on the back and sides. Try long strokes from the base of the neck to the base of the tail; optionally (carefully) continue down the tail until there is no more cat. Then try shorter strokes at places where the cat has responded favorably. At all costs, avoid the tummy. Even if your cat rolls over happily, still do not pet the tummy. Even if you thought that cat was declawed (a horrible thing to do to a cat, might I add), do not pet the stomach. Dogs like it. Cats do not. (some might, but this constitutes an advanced technique; see below.)
Watch the tail. If your cat starts to move its tail back and forth rapidly while you are petting, it has had enough. Stop unless you're wearing heavy gloves and want to annoy your cat. Also, if you are only going to pet one portion of your cat for a while, do not pick the tail. If you pull a cat's tail, you may hear a shriek, but it may be the last thing you hear.
Step 4: The Middle Game
Now stealthily approach your cat's head. Stroke only the top of the head at first. Some cats don't mind if you touch their ears; for others the ears are very sensitive and should be avoided. Scratching behind the ears will almost always meet favorable response, just like in a dog. Light petting under your cat's head from the tip of the chin to the top of the neck may be accepted and certainly will make your cat happy. Do not poke out your cat's eyes, and generally avoid the nose. STOP at any indication (pulling away is one; a more threatened cat will bat, bite or hiss) your cat is not enjoying the experience.
Step 5: Endgame
Now, pet everything you've discovered your cat likes.
Listen to your cat.

I Dare anyone to try this
How to calm a cat in heat
(idea) by TinFoilGod Thu Sep 07 2000 at 18:27:28
1 cat in heat
1 Q-tip
Grab wailing, squirming cat and place it on your lap with its hind quarters readily accessible. Chances are the cat will freely offer them, if not the first time this procedure is followed, then certainly each time afterward.
Insert the Q-tip into the cat's vagina. It will be exposed and puffy. Do not insert the Q-tip into the other orifice. Either way the cat will begin to scream, but there is a subtle and audible difference in the scream of satisfaction and the scream of rectal pain. Experiment a little until you can distinguish the two.
Move the Q-tip in and out of the cat's vagina slowly at first, then more rapidly. No need to be gentle, no matter what you do with the Q-tip it beats a barbed cat penis digging around in there.
You are finished when the cat is finished. You will know when the cat is finished because it will either begin immediately to have a cat orgasm, or it will run away with the Q-tip sticking out of its ass. If this happens let it enjoy itself for a few minutes before attempting to retrieve your Q-tip.
That is it, you are done. Enjoy the peace and quiet until the cat flares up again.
What to look for: The cat orgasm that follows this procedure is something the likes of which I have never seen elsewhere. It is a wriggling, leaping, moaning dance of ecstasy that defies any experience of pleasure my mind can even begin to grasp. If humans had orgasms with the intensity of a cat serviced in this way there would be no such thing as war, hunger, capitalism or God.
Background: A cat in heat is, with few exceptions, one of the most irritating things to have living in your home. A cat in heat will follow you around and howl at you in a bone chilling, hideous wail until you are ready just to toss it outside and let it get pounded by the local tom's. After a few days of this torture having to drown a few kittens sounds relaxing. This cat-saving technique was first demonstrated to me by a terminally un-squeemish roomate of years past.

Course Description
ETHN 110. The Asian American Experience. Survey
of the experiences of various Asian groups in the U.S. from the mid-nineteenth
century to present. The historical forces affecting the
immigration and settlement patterns of Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Koreans,
Asian Indians and Southeast Asians (Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians) will be
compared and contrasted. Students will analyze
the problems resulting from limited access to the social, political, and
economic institutions of U.S. society. 3 units.
*Fulfills the GE Area D2: Major Social Issues of the Contemporary Era (3 units).
No prerequisites.
Asian Americans have been immigrating to the United States and forming
permanent settlements since the mid-1800s. Their experience and contributions,
however, have been minimized and generally received very little attention in
history books. Moreover, whenever mentioned, Asians have been stereotypically
constructed as either "cheap" labor who were a threat to white
workers or as successful "model minorities."
This course will provide an introduction to the history of Asians in
America. Beginning in the mid-1800s and extending to the present, we shall
examine the immigration and settlement histories of Chinese, Filipinos,
Japanese, Koreans, Asian Indians, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Hmong, and Laotians.
Their immigration experience and settlement in America will be analyzed and
interpreted within the context of historical, social, economic, and political
forces. In the course of our study, we shall compare and contrast their
immigration experience and settlement patterns vis-à-vis other Asian Americans.
We shall also critically examine how their labor market status, race, class,
and sex/gender relations affected the evolution and formation of Asian American
The General Education objectives of this course to:
1. Examine domestic issues confronting/dividing Americans today.
2. Specifically identify issues within the above topic areas which will be covered in the course.
3. Focus on social issues.
4. Examine various sides of each issue and critically evaluates strengths/weaknesses of supporting/refuting arguments and presents scholarly analysis of possible alternative solutions.
5. Impart knowledge of current information/materials.
6. Include social science research methods, theories, and concepts appropriate to analysis of each issue.
7. Develop an understanding of and appreciation for the diversity of the human community.
8. Presents the contributions and perspectives of women; persons from various ethnic, socio-economic, and religious groups, gays and lesbians; and persons with disabilities. [At least two of these groups should be included in the course.]
objectives of this specific course are to:
1. Understand the social, political, and economic issues confronting Asian Americans in the United States (GE objectives 1-5, 7-8).
2. Show the differences between various Asian American groups (GE objectives 7-8).
3. Learn how many social issues forge a commonality of experience among Asian Americans and other racial/ethnic groups (GE objectives 1-5, 7-8).
4. Improve analytical and critical thinking skills (GE objectives 4-6).
5. Strengthen research skills (GE objectives 4-6).
6. Enhance writing skills needed to express your comprehension of course materials in a clear, intelligent, and coherent fashion (GE objectives 4-6).
By the end of the class, students will be able to:
1. Describe the major historical events of Asian American immigration and settlement patterns in the U.S. (mid-1800s to the present).
2. Analyze and interpret the social, political and economic context within which these immigrations and settlements have occurred.
3. Compare and contrast the immigration experience and settlement of Asians in America.
4. Compare and contrast the unique immigration experience and settlement of Asian American women.
Utilize and apply social science theory through the
research and writing of Asian American history.
In order to pass the class, students must complete all the midterms, the majority of the essay writing assignments, and oral history projects. Students are also expected to attend all the class lectures, arrive to class on time, participate in class activities and discussions, and are responsible for all the readings and lectures. ETHN110 students are required to have a CSUS e-mail account (free too all CSUS students) and participate in all the class activities and discussions.

1. Only medical and family emergencies will be considered as legitimate excuse by the instructor. Unless prior arrangement has been made with the class instructor, the professor does not accept late assignments.
2. The professor does not tolerate disruptive class behavior. For example, it is disruptive to come in fashionably late, hold private conversations, let your cell phone ring or have a cell phone conversation in class (turn off your cell phone, beeper, or put it on silent).
3. Inappropriate classroom behavior: It is disruptive to have a private conversation with other students, to walk in "fashionably" late to class (let me know ahead of time if you're going to be late and go to the back of the class and quietly find a seat). It is disruptive to the instructor if you fall asleep in class (this particular instructor spends many long hours preparing for his class lessons)—let me know ahead of time if you work nights/evenings or have children and other pressing responsibilities.
4. Professional Ethics. Students are expected to behave and conduct themselves in a polite and professional manner. The course instructor is to be addressed as "Dr. Sobredo" or "Professor Sobredo."
5. Plagiarism.

Paul and I met on my first night on campus at a dance in the campus center. We didn't start dating until May of my freshman year, Kappa Psi's Spring Weekend. Paul graduated in '66 and I graduated in '68 and we married August 3 of '68. Alfred friends who attended our wedding were: Dave and Mary Alice Patrickson, Don Landsittel, and Gerry and Kathy Garwood.
Our favorite memory is of a Saturday evening. Paul was waiting to come to Kruson Hall to pick me up for a Valentine's frat party. I kept telling him I needed a bit more time to study, but in actuality, I was finishing knitting and sewing together a sweater for him. I finished it and gave it to him and we did get to the party, albeit late. The attached picture was taken on Valentine's Day of 2008; Paul is wearing the sweater I knit for him 42 years ago!

Well, I decided I'd share this with TDH, too. I've completed version 1 of my project I called "Blunaas" when I first began it. The character's name is Kebiin Atiniir. His first name, Kebiin, means 'blue' in Mando'a.
I think these simple pictures show it off well. I'll be doing a troop in it tomorrow, though, so I might post some pictures of the event here. Also, the first picture is slightly newer then the second one. A couple minor things were changed.

Nice Serum; strong smell
By Chineymo
from Hamilton, Ontario
I like the serum, it applies nicely and absorbs, but to me it is too highly scented like oranges. If the scent was changed i would re-buy.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Don Luskin: Still wrong.
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
Gavin at Sadly, No! mocks Don Luskin's foolishness over the past several months. Check it out. As Atrios puts it, Luskin is "wrong about everything."
One of the Luskin columns Gavin links to was Luskin's arguement in August 2008 that the economy was not in a recession. Here's Luskin's explanation:
[W]e are not in a recession.
The word "recession" has a specific meaning to economists who study the business cycle. Whether we are in a recession or not is therefore an objective matter of science, not opinion.
The official determination of recessions is made by a committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research. They have latitude to use their judgment in making the determination — it's not exactly a formula — but they are clear about what factors they consider, and how those factors have to behave to result in a determination.
Note that Luskin writes that whether we are in a recession is "an objective matter of science, not opinion" -- then, just a few sentances later, writes that NBER has "latitude to use their judgment ... it's not exactly a formula."
Anyway, that's not my point. That's just amusing.
My point is this: Last August, Luskin argued that the US was not in a recession because, basically, NBER hadn't declared the economy to be in a recession. And yet, just a few years ago, Luskin took the opposite view -- and both times, Luskin's assertions just happened to make George W. Bush look good.
See, one of the very first things Media Matters posted when we launched back in the Spring of 2004 was a report I wrote demonstrating that the news media (particularly Sean Hannity) kept insisting that Bush had "inherited a recession" from Bill Clinton, despite the fact that according to NBER, the recession in question didn't begin until March of 2001 -- after Bush took office.
Well, Don Luskin didn't like that very much. He took to National Review's web page to declare "So far the work from Media Matters isn't very impressive." Luskin went on to explain:
The first major article posted on the Media Matters website is an attempted exposé of the often-heard conservative claim that the last economic recession began during the Clinton administration — or, in other words, that it was already underway when George W. Bush took office in 2001.
The claim that the last recession started under Clinton is absolutely true.
Now, before we go any further, keep in mind what Luskin wrote last August, when he was desperate to argue that we weren't in a recession: "The official determination of recessions is made by a committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research." Those are Don Luskin's words in August of 2008. And here are Don Luskin's words back in May of 2004:
The one and only piece of evidence offered by Media Matters that's to the contrary is that fact that the National Bureau of Economic Research set the beginning of the last recession at March 2001 — two months into the Bush administration. ... according to Media Matters, this single authority determines truth, and everyone else is a liar. The article declares that "if NBER says the recession began in March 2001, the recession began in March 2001."
The reality is that NBER is just like any other group of economists, struggling with partial and imperfect information to characterize phenomena that don't have any hard-and-fast definitions.
So, in 2004, Luskin argued that NBER should not be considered the final word on recessions. Interesting.
But wait! There's more.
Luskin went on to claim that NBER was "on the verge of changing the recession's start date" to sometime before Bush took office. To support his claim that a change would come any day, Luskin quoted a four-month-old Washington Post article in which NBER president Martin Feldstein -- a Bush campaign advisor -- claimed the March 2001 start date was too late. Luskin then chided us: "Media Matters chooses not to mention" that NBER was "on the verge" of changing the recession's start date.
As I pointed out at the time, of course we didn't mention that. Why would we? NBER hadn't changed the date. Not to mention that there was a much more recent Washington Post article in which an NBER spokesperson quoted saying no such change was imminent.
Anyway, that was nearly five years ago. And NBER -- which, according to Don Luskin, was "on the verge of changing the recession's start date" -- still says the recession begain March 2001.
Whenever Luskin wants to retract his nonsensical criticisms of Media Matters, I'd be happy to post the retraction.
Oh, and by the way: NBER says we've been in a recession since December 2007. In his August 2008 column, Luskin touted a formula that "shows with absolute clarity that we are not in a recession now. In fact, we're not even close."
In short: Do not listen to Don Luskin.

Cuomo, the Transformer
My story:
He equated it to Enron, said it defied logic and warned (or perhaps, promised) that fixing it would send lobbyists "running around the hallways like their hair is on fire."
New York's new Democratic governor said he wanted to replace formulas that called for annual double-digit increases to the state's most expensive programs, with more modest rates of growth, that also, for the first time, took performance into account.
By the end of his hour-long presentation Monday, Governor Cuomo had cast himself as a transformer: changing Albany's decades-old budget habits, and repositioning the state "nationally" as an economic destination for the private sector.
E.J. McMahon, a budet expert with the business-backed Manhattan institute, said eliminating the formulas was indeed a shock to the Albany system, but the rest of Cuomo's budget was not extraordinary.
The elimination of those automatic cost increases "'just drives people here crazy. I love it," said McMahon. He said Cuomo did nothing to empower school districts to cut program costs hoisted upon them. McMahon also doubted the Medicaid Redesign Team which Cuomo empaneled — which included legislator and organizations representing health care workers and hospital operators — would come up with any drastic changes to the program.
"That crew ,on that Medicaid Redesign Team, they may hit a target of 2 billion and change — they aint going to change Medicaid," said McMahon. "All right. They're going to find a way to get through this year, you know what I mean. That group, they putting the stakeholders in a can, shaking it up and seeing what comes out is not going to alter Medicaid for all-time. What it is, is 'I'm putting a gun to their head and saying 2 billion my way or 2 billion your way.'"

I literally just watched Man of Steel for the second time, not as bad as I remembered but still, meh. I'm really into comic book movies right now but I'm usually up for anything. Horror movies have become a staple in my night time viewing, my favorite is The Descent, which still freaks me the fuck out.
I love Chuck, and wholeheartedly believe it's one of the best shows ever made. I also love Parks and Recreation and honestly I like it more than the Office as blasphemous as that is to say. I also enjoy the fuck out of anime. I try to keep current on most shows but there are just so many now it's hard to keep track. Obligatory Game of Thrones as well because honestly, how can you not like it.
Like most human beings I consume food. My favorites are tacos, like, real tacos; pizza, and chocolate.

I'm trying to get my wifi antenna recognized when I'm in the desktop doing a scan of WIFI networks. I cannot see the antenna.
I'm using a NextG USB-Yagi 802.11n WiFi Antenna,
any help would be appreciated.
P.S. I can see my internal wifi card, wlan0 - but when I plug in this NextG USB-Yagi 802.11n WiFi Antenna, I cannot see this antenna.
I would suggest either the manufacturer documentation or their website.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Those antenna's can have any wireless card/chipset. if you do 'lsusb | grep Net' you should get enough information to find the necessary driver for that card. The antenna itself does not require any drivers or configuration.

Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel released a statement late Saturday evening that read, "I'm so sad to hear of Jamel's misfortune. I have not communicated with Jamel but am certainly praying for him at this time."
Turner, who committed to OSU in December 2008, was a standout at Ursuline High School before transferring to Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy for his senior season of football. He signed with Ohio State in February but was previously wounded by gunfire in Youngstown during the month of April.
Whether he was going to report to Ohio State with the rest of the recruiting class this weekend was up in the air.
A 6-3, 215-pound prospect, Turner is listed by Scout as an outside linebacker. He was rated the No. 6 player in the country at that position in his recruiting class.
