By Jason Braun and Kevin Eagan
Tim Ferriss is a polarizing figure. Some see him as a brilliant salesman and self-promoter while others think he is overhyped and self-absorbed.
I fall into the latter group. There is something about Tim Ferriss I can't stand: he's smarmy and arrogant in his approach. He promotes dubious "hacks" over doing authentic work.
So I got caught up in a conversation about Tim Ferriss with my friend and fellow blogger Jason Braun, who digs Ferriss' work. (Readers may remember Jason from his post "Naked as a caveman, except for the tools.") Jason recently lent me his copy of Chris Guillebeau's book The $100 Startup, and that book got us talking about promotion and authenticity.
Handing back Jason's copy The $100 Startup, I said I buy into Guillebeau's approach more than Tim Ferris's because Guillebeau ties it back to ethics and legacy. Then I said this: "Ferriss' bullshit in last month's Wired about becoming a superhuman through grey market drugs bothers the fuck out of me. It's gimmicky, dishonest, and goes against the point of eastern philosophy and his idea of simplicity. I'm starting to realize that he's a shill, and I'm tired of shills. Instead of taking random pills to wait and see what happens, he should have sat down for an hour to do some real work."
Fast-forward to later that day, Jason wrote me on Facebook:
Jason: Picking up from our conversation about Tim Ferris before: I mean aren't you at least a little impressed with the obsession that drove him to do drugs not for getting high and acting stupid, but to become part cyborg and greater than he was before? I mean, he was looking for the philosopher's stone!
Kevin: My deal with Tim Ferriss isn't all of his content, but his approach. He is very successful at what he does, I'll give him that. But a lot of what he writes about is found in other books. In terms of his mix of Eastern and Zen philosophy and seeking fulfillment in work, I've read this before. You should check out Leo Babauta, for example. His whole idea is minimalism and breaking life down to the essential for self-fulfillment…so similar to Ferriss, but I guess I just like Babauta's more subtle approach it's more authentic–he's like Yoda instead of the Death Star.
Jason: Just don't hate me when I'm famous, Death Star or no. The easiest way might be the best way, and that's what Ferriss does. I'd argue there's no such thing as authenticity, and not every blog post or book needs to be a manifesto.
Kevin: I guess, but I think there's something to ethics, legitimacy, and authenticity, however you define it. If everyone did what Ferriss did we'd all be loud asshats blowing things up instead of working together.
So readers, what do you think? Check out some of Ferriss' work if you're not familiar. Is he a 4-hour-genius, or another self-absorbed flash in the pan?
Oh, and Jason and I are still working this idea out. We'll be back with more of our conversation soon.

Boat Shoes
Whether you call them A/Os, boat shoes or Top-Siders, they will always be the Originals. Since 1935, these shoes have been the staple for those with a passion for the sea. The A/O combines classic comfort and enduring style for a timeless look. Fashion fades, but style is forever.
Our founder, Paul Sperry, was born into a family with a long sea-faring tradition. Paul grew up listening to his great-grandfather speak of wild adventures in the South Seas. These tales set the stage for young Paul's inventive spirit, passion for sailing and curiosity for adventure.
The rough seas, a slippery deck and a struggle for sure footing almost cost Paul Sperry his life; and began his long and ambitious quest for a solution. One day in 1935, after watching his dog dart effortlessly across the ice on a cold Connecticut day, he was inspired to carved grooves – like those on his dog's paws – into the bottom of a rubber sole. In that moment of inspiration, the world's first boat shoe was born.

While the use of cocaine and methamphetamine among teens may have stabilized in the last few years, pot use is on the rise. In a new study released by The Partnership at Drugfree.org, one in every ten kids is smoking marijuana at least 20 times within a month. Students between the 9th and 12th grades are also experimenting with prescription drugs.
The situation elevated due to the fact that most parents think that weed is just weed, no cause for alarm. Yet Partnership President Steve Pasierb said that parents should not take the issue of marijuana for granted. "Parents are talking about cocaine and heroin, things that scare them. Parents are not talking about prescription drugs and marijuana. They can't wink and nod. They need to be stressing the message that this behavior is unhealthy."
The report showed that marijuana use has increased from only 19% in 2008 to about 27% in 2011. Teens who smoked pot at least 20 times in a month also climbed from 5% in 2008 to last year's 9%. That's about 1.5 million teens who regularly light up marijuana.
Previous researches made also had parallel results, like that of a recent survey made by a team from the University of Michigan. The initiative was supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse that claimed marijuana use is again on the rise after a decline in the last decade.
Results of the study have linked the use of pot and other drugs. It was suggested that teens who regularly use marijuana were also twice more likely to take cocaine or ecstasy.
The study also tackled the issue of pain medications abuse, putting Vicodin and Oxycontin as the drug of choice among teens. It was also noted that ecstasy or cocaine use is highest among Hispanic teens (almost 50%). African American teens followed suit with almost 42% hooked on prescription medications while that of Caucasian teens reached 39%.

My dad was not always "king of the grill." My brother and I endured many years of waiting patiently for the coals to turn gray, only to receive the charred remains of a once perfect handmade hamburger. We referred to these masterpieces as "hockey pucks." Hot dogs, bratwurst, steaks, all suffered the same fate.
Apparently several years, and moving to Florida have improved his grill skills. No longer do I hear "Taps" being played in the background when my Dad says dinner is ready.

Add in its sophisticated fit and finish, and the sleek 240 Dauntless will win your boating affection, too.

New York Times: "President Obama this week will seek to force American businesses to pay more overtime to millions of workers."
"On Thursday, the president will direct the Labor Department to revamp its regulations to require overtime pay for several million additional fast-food managers, loan officers, computer technicians and others whom many businesses currently classify as 'executive or professional' employees to avoid paying them overtime."
"Mr. Obama's authority to act comes from his ability as president to revise the rules that carry out the Fair Labor Standards Act, which Congress originally passed in 1938."
"Under the new rules that Mr. Obama is seeking, fewer salaried employees could be blocked from receiving overtime, a move that would potentially shift billions of dollars' worth of corporate income into the pockets of workers. Currently, employers are prohibited from denying time-and-a-half overtime pay to any salaried worker who makes less than $455 per week. Mr. Obama's directive would significantly increase that salary level."
"In addition, Mr. Obama will try to change rules that allow employers to define which workers are exempt from receiving overtime based on the kind of work they perform."Save to Favorites

|Bible Memorization
You're busy. I'm busy. We're all busy. We all have our plates full of things to do and places to be. We all have a lot of things we have to remember, way more than we could possibly do on our own. In fact, we have so much we have to remember that we program our smart phones with daily reminders. Our calendars are full of things that remind us of what we should be doing next. So what I am about to say may seem difficult to some people, while to many people it may appear near impossible. It is not impossible, so I'll go ahead and say it.

Juniper shrubs vary is size and shape. Juniper shrubs are evergreen and are usually low spreading bush type plants. There are approximately 50 species of junipers and they are found in most countries in the northern hemisphere. Popular species of juniper that are used for landscaping purposes are: Juniperus virginiana, Juniperus horizontalis, Juniperus communis, and Juniperus chinensis.
Juniper shrubs are a low maintenance plant to grow. Junipers thrive in full sun and in well drained soils. They also prefer an acidic pH soils but will grow in soil pHs that are not acidic. Junipers are used for groundcovers and border plantings. They are especially helpful in preventing soil erosion, weed control, and planting on difficult to access parts of a landscape. Juniper shrubs are drought tolerant and perform quite well in rock gardens. Most varieties of juniper require very little pruning, if any. Be sure to leave enough room for the juniper plant to spread. Nature Hills offers several varieties of junipers and they are displayed below.

Edwards accounted for 18 of the Wolverines' final 32 points in the comeback win. Freshman quarterback Chad Henne(Wyomissing, Pa./Wilson HS) finished the game with 273 yards on 24-of-35 passing and a career-high four touchdowns. Edwards had a career game for U-M, finishing with 11 catches for 189 yards and a career-high three touchdowns, including the two fourth-quarter scores that brought the Wolverines back from the 17-point deficit and forced overtime. Junior wide receiver Jason Avant (Chicago, Ill./Carver HS) caught five passes for 47 yards, including a huge touchdown grab in the second overtime. Freshman tailback Michael Hart(Syracuse, N.Y./Onondaga Central HS) also scored a touchdown had 33 carries for 224 yards, becoming the first player in Michigan history to rush for 200 yards in three consecutive games.
The Spartans won the overtime coin toss and elected to start on defense, with the Wolverines beginning with the ball on the 25-yard line to begin overtime. Hart picked up a four-yard run and Henne hit Edwards for another four yards, setting up sophomore Garrett Rivas' (Tampa, Fla./Jesuit HS) 34-yard field goal to give U-M its first lead of the game, 30-27.
Michigan State had an easier time moving the ball toward the end zone on its first overtime possession and was just four yards away from a touchdown and victory, but fifth-year senior outside linebacker Roy Manning(Saginaw, Mich./Saginaw HS) stepped up and made a huge tackle on Cobb for a loss of two yards on third down. Rayner converted a 23-yard field goal on fourth down to send the game to a second overtime.
The Spartans reclaimed a 37-30 advantage with a three-yard run by Jason Teague to start the second extra session. Michigan answered with a five-yard touchdown reception by Avant. On third down at the MSU five-yard line, Henne lofted a pass to the back right corner of the end zone, where Avant rose above two defenders, brought down the ball and landed with one foot inbounds. Rivas tacked on the PAT tie the score at 37-37 and send the game into a third overtime.
The Wolverines went back on top 43-37 when Henne found Edwards across the middle for a 24-yard touchdown on third-and-nine. U-M then converted on the two-point conversion -- required starting in the third OT -- as Henne fired the ball up the middle through traffic to Massaquoi in the back of the end zone for a 45-37 lead.
Michigan State committed a crucial pass interference call on second down that put the ball on the U-M 40-yard line. The game eventually came down to fourth-and-eight from the 23-yard line, and Damon Dowdell's pass to Aaron Alexander in the left corner of the end zone was broken up by senior cornerback Markus Curry(Detroit, Mich./Bishop Gallagher HS) to preserve the comeback win for the Wolverines.
The Spartans took an early 7-0 lead at 11:25 of the first quarter, as tailback DeAndra Cobb broke through the middle and ran 72 yards untouched for a touchdown on Michigan State's opening possession. The drive used up just 1:37 on the clock and covered 80 yards in four plays, with Cobb opening with a seven-yard run from the MSU 15-yard line and quarterback Drew Stanton completing a pair of passes to wide receiver Matt Trannon for six yards.
Michigan answered on the ensuing drive with a seven-yard touchdown from Hart. The Wolverines broke into Michigan State territory thanks to a pass interference call on Jason Harmon that moved the ball to the MSU 42-yard line. Edwards took over from there, collecting 22 yards on a reverse up the right sideline for a first down at the Spartan 20-yard line. Hart earned another 13-yard rush following Edwards' reception, and then capped off the eight-play, 80-yard drive with a seven-yard touchdown run to put U-M on the scoreboard at 7:50 of the first quarter.
The Michigan State offense answered the call once again, marching 79 yards down the field before Stanton put the Spartans ahead 14-7 on a five-yard touchdown run. Stanton got the drive started with a 15-yard pass to Terry Love, then followed with a 21-yard completion to Eric Knott that put the ball on Michigan's 43-yard line. Stanton kept the ball on the next three plays, combining for 17 yards on three rushes to move the ball down to the 26-yard line. The Spartans eventually reached the U-M five-yard line after a pass interference call on senior cornerback Grant Mason(Pontiac, Mich./Orchard Lake St. Mary's HS), and Stanton capped the 11-play drive with a five-yard rushing touchdown.
The Wolverines were forced to punt after going three-and-out on their next drive, and senior Adam Finley's (Greenwood, Ind./Center Grove HS) kick was blocked by Marshall Campbell and downed at the U-M 30-yard line. Senior inside linebacker Scott McClintock (Belle Vernon, Pa./Belle Vernon HS) collected two straight tackles, one for a five-yard loss, during the possession, forcing MSU to try for a field goal from the 33-yard line. Dave Raynor's 50-yard attempt sailed wide right and time eventually ran out on the first-quarter clock.
Michigan State increased its lead to 17-7 with a 22-yard field goal by Rayner at 9:10 of the second quarter. The 10-play, 84-yard drive was highlighted by a 19-yard draw play by Stanton, followed by a 29-yard reception by Jason Randall that put the ball on Michigan's 19-yard line. Stanton continued to produce on ground, earning a 15-yard rush to bring MSU within four yards of the end zone. Michigan's defense held its own in the red zone, as junior defensive end Jeremy Van Alstyne(Greenwood, Ind./Center Grove HS) and McClintock stopped a Stanton rush for no gain, and sophomore outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley(Saginaw, Mich./Saginaw HS) stuffed Cobb for a five-yard loss on third-and-goal.
U-M went three-and-out on its next drive, which included a 10-yard sack by Ronald Stanley that put the ball back on the Michigan 13-yard line and set up fourth down. The Wolverine defense forced Michigan State to punt for the first time at 5:48 after an MSU holding call created a third-and-long on the U-M 46-yard line.
The Maize and Blue trimmed the deficit to 17-10 before the first-half clock expired, as Rivas connected on a 34-yard field goal with 49 seconds left. The seven-play drive covered 38 yards, with Henne hitting Avant and Edwards with a pair of 11-yard receptions on first down before Edwards hauled in a 19-yard pass to move U-M to the Spartan 17-yard line.
On Michigan's first offensive possession of the second half, Hart carried the ball 24 yards on first down into MSU territory at the 32-yard line. After another Hart rush for six yards, Henne found Edwards on the right sideline, but a tackle by Jaren Hayes popped the ball loose and Eric Smith recovered the fumble at the 21-yard line before it went out of bounds.
The Spartans nearly caused another turnover on U-M's next drive, as Henne fumbled the ball at his own 22-yard line after being hit by Clifford Dukes on third down. Right tackle Jake Long(Lapeer, Mich./East HS) was able to dive on the loose ball and recover for Michigan, but the play resulted in a 13-yard loss and a punt situation for the Wolverines.
Beginning with good field position at the Michigan 45-yard line, Dowdell found Alexander for 22 yards on first down to put Michigan State on the U-M 23-yard line. The Wolverine defense held on third-and-four, with junior tackle Larry Harrison(Detroit, Mich./Martin Luther King HS) wrapping up Dowdell a yard short of the first-down marker. Rayner's field goal from 19 yards out was good and put MSU on top 20-10 with 13:30 remaining in the game.
Following another stalled Michigan drive, Michigan State went up 27-10 with a 64-yard touchdown run from Cobb. Dowdell started things off with an 11-yard completion to Agim Shabaj on first down. A Spartan holding penalty on third down put the ball on their own 36-yard line, where Cobb took the handoff and converted on another long scoring run with 8:43 left.
The Wolverines cut the deficit to 27-13 after a 24-yard field goal by Rivas with 6:27 to go in the game. The nine-play drive featured a 46-yard reception by Edwards that put U-M on the Spartan 12-yard line. The ensuing on-side kick was recovered by Brian Thompson(Saginaw, Mich./Nouvel Catholic HS) and gave Michigan the ball back on its own 38-yard line.
Just two plays and 15 seconds later, Michigan found itself down by just seven points, 27-20, as Henne threw a 36-yard touchdown to Edwards in the right corner of the end zone. Hart opened the short drive with an 11-yard reception before Edwards made a miraculous touchdown grab by snagging the ball away from a Spartan defender to put U-M within striking distance with 6:12 left.
Two crucial MSU penalties caused the Spartans to punt on fourth-and-17 with 3:24 remaining in the contest. The Wolverines continued their late-game heroics with another touchdown drive that took just 14 second on two plays. Edwards found paydirt once again, reeling in a 21-yard pass from Henne in the back of the end zone to tie the game at 27-27 with 2:59 on the clock.
Despite a 25-yard run by Cobb, which brought the Spartans near midfield, Michigan's defense forced MSU to punt once again, and junior wide receiver Steve Breaston(North Braddock, Pa./Woodland Hills HS) let the ball sail into the end zone for a touchback. The Wolverines were unable to put anything together, and the Spartans reclaimed possession on the 50-yard line with three seconds left. A pass interference call on sophomore cornerback Leon Hall(Vista, Calif./Vista HS) put the ball on the Michigan 35-yard line and gave Rayner a shot to win the game with a 51-yard field goal, but his attempt fell short and U-M headed into its first overtime session since a 27-24 home victory against Penn State on Oct. 12, 2002.
Michigan has a bye week prior to its final home game of the season against Northwestern on Saturday, Nov. 13. Game time and television network have not been determined.

Morningland Dairy The Final Solution
Long time listener of the show, every morning while driving to work. First time writing in, I was prompted after I read about this dairy farm in Missouri. Very sad story, was hoping you could touch on it briefly. The more people that know the better. Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I'm relatively new here. I have been following the site since i applied for VA compensation in June.
I left the Air Force in 2004 and the last two years or so i was always ill with a variety of ailments that by themselves probably didn't mean much but when put together eventually (that is now) it finally all made sense.
I was recently diagnosed with a rare pituitary tumor that is releasing very high amounts of growth hormone. The endocrinologist here at J. Hopkins said that on average the diagnosis for acromegaly is about 9 years.
Some people think up to 12 or so.
Basically because of it, i now have severe obstructive sleep apnea and need a CPAP to sleep, chronic fatigue, cubital tunnel syndrome on one hand and carpal tunnel on the other, chronic sinusitis, severe back pain, enlarged hands, feet, face, neck, tongue and other internal organs, a macroadenoma in my pituitary gland that secretes very high levels of growth hormone...and the list goes on and on.
I have now been on advanced sick leave for several weeks since haven't really been able to work anymore.
I wonder what my chances are here.

An adult age play romance about a girl with a love for being little, a love for adventure, a love for footed pajamas and a love for a man she calls "Daddy". "The Adventures of the Pajama BabyGirl - Volumes 6 - 10" completes the two-part first story about Penny Jordan, a sweet and simple girl with an equally sweet and simple wish – to be able to let her little side run free. All her life, Penny has dreamed of meeting someone who would love her, not just for the person she is on the outside, but also the person she is on the inside whom no one has ever met. Before she could ever open up and reveal her secret to be little she would have to meet someone she connected with on a level deep enough to tell her his heart was none other than that of a true Daddy. Penny not only wanted to be little, but she wanted to feel little when with him and wanted to be taken care of with a tenderness and caress that could only come from the hands of a Daddy. Scrunching the sand under her toes that first night on the beach with Elliot, she knew she had found her Daddy. Follow Penny and Elliot in this heart-warming series about a BabyGirl with a love for being little, a love for adventure, a love for footed pajamas and a love for her Daddy, beginning with some last minute Halloween preparations and ending on Christmas Morning. Oh! Did I forget to mention that Penny wears a diaper and a pair of footed pajamas, nurses her pacifier and flirts her pigtails as she does all of this?

- - PC as chartplotter? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/cruising-liveaboard-forum/10901-pc-chartplotter.html)
PC as chartplotter?
I''l like to use my laptop as a chartplotter. I know I''ll need to get a GPS accessory for it. What I''d like to know is whether there is software I can get that will allow the pc to use the GPS data and plot it in real time on a chart depicted on the PC screen (much the same way a stand-alone chartplotter works)?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
PC as chartplotter?
There are many such programs...two low priced versions are NavPak and Figawi. Others include The Capn, and Nobeltec. They all have different capabilities and may read different chart types but all provide GPS input and real time plotting. You''ll want to look at each to see what fits your needs. Look at what chart types they use as well. You can download free charts in the new ENC format from NOAA. They look different than the paper charts you are used to, but they are free. If you want to use them, make sure the software you get supports that format.
PC as chartplotter?
Gerhard''s exactly right; this is very common on boats.
Based on how you stated your question, I''ll bet you would appreciate reading a boat web site I just visited today.
www.yachtvalhalla.net/articles/imagelogs/imagelogs.htm is an article the Cap''n wrote on how to illustrate ship''s logs using chart segments from the laptop but refers you to Sea Clear II software, which is one of the free navigation software products out there today. (Mind you, the software does all the clever stuff but you still need the chart media, usually on CD for laptops).
BTW, an interesting site: the author is a retired Army officer who''s been cruising non-stop in the W Pacific for many years now on his Fuji 32.
Maptech Software
I use Maptech's Offshore Navigator s/w. I connect my handheld GPS's Garmin 48, 72, GPSMAP 76, using a data cable, to a USB port of my laptop. Sometimes data cables have a serial plug and you have to use a serial to USB plug converter.
After you connect, following simple setup screen, your GPS reltime position will be plotted in the chart you are displaying in the laptop.
Maptech Chartkits include a CD with the corresponding paper charts.
You can also download charts from the maptech site.
Coastal explorer and.....
Maptech Navigator Pro are actually the same program and are excellent. The Pro is bundled with Maptech charts. Download a trial copy of Coastal Explorer (the trial will not allow the GPS interface but will allow you to see how the program works). Just be careful trusting your life and your boat to Bill Gates. You don't want the "blue screen of death" to pop up as you are transiting a narrow reef entrance at night. I always like to have one actual chart plotter on board.
I love my laptop/handheld GPS setup. I use Nobeltec. The older versions are widely available free. I am also concerned about the "blue screen" although in several years of use it has not happened. Of course my backup is to use the paper charts that I always keep handy. I would either plot visual fixes or GPS positions. Too easy really. The laptop is just another tool in my bag.
Been using Maptech's Offshore Navigator for five years now. I have it installed on two laptops, as well as my home desktop computer. Being an old salt, fixed in his ways, as well as a navigation nut (taught piloting and celestial navigation), I insist on electronic reproductions of paper charts. That means raster charts -- which, in effect, are "photos" of real paper charts. They look exactly the same, and I carry both.
Electronic charting is very useful for voyage planning, as well as enroute monitoring. I connect one of my twin Furuno GP31 units to the laptop (it also goes to the VHF/DSC), and it displays the position of the boat right on the raster image. In practice, I've found it usually to be be extremely accurate.
Thus far I have eschewed all forms of dedicated chartplotters because they all use vector charts. These don't look anything like real paper charts (my main objection) and, due to the manner in which some of them were digitized, they may include errors of commission and omission. Chartplotters have the advantage of lower power consumption, waterproof construction and dedicated operating systems which are more robust than, e.g., Windows. But, so far, they only take vector charts.
Recently I stumbled upon a pocket PC solution which handles raster charts. Not new technology at all, but a very neat and very low cost package. My IPAQ 3850 runs a Maptech program which displays raster charts, and it takes a 20-channel GPS plug-in card, so you can see the boats position just as you can with the laptop-based setup. This used pocket PC, with all connecting cords, ALL U.S. raster charts on DVD, Maptech software, ActiveSync and Memory Map, plus a 1GB expansion card in addition to the 64mb internal memory, and misc. loaded programs (Excel, Word, Internet Explorer, etc.) cost just over $200. Great little device to have in your pocket in the cockpit, or in the local bar or wherever you do your planning/dreaming :-)
There are lots of other electronic charting solutions, but these two work for me.
If you want to try something for free...SEA CLEAR is available for free download and uses all the free US charts so you can do what you want to absolutely free for the charts and the software.
Here's thelink you need for the download and more info.
I have used Capn software with the little gps that comes with MS Maps and streets. It is about the size of a scrabble tile.
I was plugging in a hand held garmond but it is nice to have the computer connected to seperate receiver so the hand held can be by the helm.
Also the PC screen is nice because it is big, but bad because sunlight washes it out. Also the PC will probably not like salt spray.
A chart plotter is usually left on but the computer battery will usually last only 2 to 6 hours. It takes a minute or two for the computer to boot up and the gps to get a fix.
I found it a two person job. Someone had to be on the helm and someone on the computer hiding in a quarter berth with the curtains drawn.
Can anyone recommend a good, non-proprietary GPS "puck" antenna that plugs via USB into a laptop? I saw a Garmin unit...but it apparently only works with Garmin everything else.

Little tip, no matter how much you try and how hard you want it, as a PM you should always avoid the constant badgering of your team or resources attached to your team, to deliver 'product'.
it never works, when I was on the other side of the line writing code and being 'the resource' I often encountered tow types of PM, the 'badgers (?)' and the guy / girl who knew how to get the best from their team, the 'badgers' task where always at the bottom of the list, same is true now I am the guy.
- Trust your team
- Set up your communication lines and trust them
- Ask yourself who is this meeting benefiting, me or the project *before* you call it.
- And leave the guys alone..
*caveat this assumes you have a team of competent staff, if this is not the case adjust your communication lines and project protocols according ;)

Diet Tricks to Help You Live Longer (Page 3)
Tip 2. Choose low-fat or nonfat dairy.
Bad-for-you saturated fat isn't just hiding in butter and lard and fatty cuts of meat. As writer and registered dietitian Karen Ansel recently pointed out in a story about the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans in EatingWell Magazine: "In a 2009 study in the Journal of Nutrition, when researchers examined the diets of 350,000 American men and women, they found that the death rate was 20 percent lower during the 10 years of the study in those who consumed lean meat, low-fat dairy and few added solid fats, even after other differences were accounted for." Choose nonfat or 1% milk in place of whole or 2%. Eat cheeses sparingly—and go for lower-fat varieties when you can.

OGDEN, Utah – The Big Sky
Conference has announced the members of the 2009 Fall All-Academic
teams, and the Northern Arizona cross country team landed nine
members on the list, including four from the men's team and
five from the women's squad.
Pleased to hear that nine of his athletes made the all-academic teams was Interim Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Eric Heins. The head cross country coach is proud that his student-athletes are able to handle the time commitment of school and running simultaneously.
"It's great to see the runners not only be rewarded for how the do athletically, but also how they do academically," Heins said. "We set not only athletic goals for the season, but also academic goals. To see them come through like that makes me feel great, and I am very happy for them."
To be eligible, a student-athlete must have met and/or exceeded the following minimum requirements: 1)Participated in at least half of the team's competitions; 2)Achieved a 3.2 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) at the conclusion of the most recently completed term; 3)Completed at least one academic term at his/her current Big Sky institution.
Headlining the list for the men's squad were juniors Kam Holbrook, David McNeill and Jason Pedersen. Also garnering conference honors was sophomore Andrew Belus. This is Pedersen's second-straight year that he has earned the conference honor, and McNeill's third.
The academic award for McNeill is his second in 2009 as he was named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America® men's track/cross country first team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The exercise fitness major collected two second-place finishes in national championship races in 2009, including the 5,000-meter final at the NCAA Outdoor Championships and the 10,000-meter men's final at the NCAA Cross Country Championships.
The NAU Big Sky All-Academic team members include senior Veronica Pohl, junior Astrid Leutert, sophomores Kortnee Burton and Haley Lawrence and freshman Torin Shriver. For Pohl and Burton this is the second-consecutive year the duo has received the award.
All five members of Fall All-Academic team were key contributors to leading the Lumberjacks to their third-straight Big Sky Cross Country Championship.

So, how many of them came back from the dead to tell you that you were right? How many came back from the dead to describe "heaven" or "hell" to you? Any of them your family or friends? And they didn't love you enough to come back from the dead to verify all of those ideas you have about "god" and "heaven" and "hell"?<quoted text>
So in other words you are saying that you are not believing in any God,ok,no problem but remember this is a big mistake,you will suffer with the consequences afterwards.I have seen many people who are not believing in any God.I tried to convince them that God exists but it was of no use and same thing with you also.
What? None of them?
So, the only reason you think you know about "god" and "heaven" and "hell" is because, well, you think you know about "god" and "heaven" and "hell"? Not a single shred of logic, reason, research or empirical evidence, but you just "know" that people will burn in "hell" forever if they don't listen to you or read the same bronze age, goat herder FAIRY TALE that you do.
Well, that's real convincing.[/sarcasm]

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
Welcome to Just Answer! My name isXXXXX very much enjoy what I do and I hope that you will benefit from this information.
Can you please give us a little more background information so we can better assist you?
What was the new arrangement?
What does the written lease say in comparison?
What did each side give up in arriving at the new arrangement?
Was the new arrangement in writing or oral?
in february i was six thousand dollars behind with the landlord due to a job loss and a judgement against my ex husband, and due to my name being on the lease i was responsible. He brought the constable to the house the first of february and we had an oral agreement that i would pay $3000.00 that month and would set up a payment plan with him each month. Last month due to a bank account freeze on a person on a joint account i fell behind again. The Landlord is upset and said that if he didn't get money he would have to see what happens. It was all oral except what i could give him money wise i would write down when and how much i could give him. My question is can he just have the constable come and ask me to leave being is has been 90 days since the last or do we have to go to the magistrate again. I know he spoke with the constable in february and said that as long as i complied with the schedule set it would be ok for me to stay.
Since there appears to have been a part performance of the new arrangement by both sides, the new arrangement appears to be a valid enforceable contract.
Under PA law, if a tenant is behind in the rent and has an oral lease with the landlord, the landlord needs to give only fifteen (15) days notice between April 1st and September 1st, but thirty (30) days notice between September 1st and April 1st.
If the tenant is not out of the property by the end of the eviction notice, the landlord must follow the procedure through the District Justice's office by filing a new complaint for possession.
If you need more clarification or follow up information, please feel free to write back as there is no extra charge. Otherwise, please click on the ACCEPT button. Even if you have put in your payment information, I receive no credit for my time unless you press "ACCEPT". Sometimes the law does not give you the outcome that you may have anticipated. Please understand that this is not the attorney's fault. We are assuming that you are paying for an honest and professional opinion.
Please know that there may be a delay between your follow up question and my answers because I may be helping other customers. Rest assured, I will get back to you. In the meantime, you can learn more about me by clicking on my name at the bottom left hand corner of the screen.This information is provided so you may better discuss legal issues with your attorney. Consult a local attorney for legal advice before acting. You may be able to find an attorney in your area to further assist you at http://www.attorneysaccess.com/ or http://www.martindale.com/.
If you feel that I went an extra step to help, a bonus would be greatly appreciated! Also, please know that you can always request me for a future question by starting your new question with "This question is for Maverick".

Compare Kia Garages and Specialists in Bingley with Who Can Fix My Car.
Fab! Eveything went really well
Done the job next day, very polite guys, collected an brought my car back. Even had a wash! Thanks guys :)
Brilliant garage, only one who bothered to call me, picked up the car, cannot fault them, will be using again!
Hidden gem What a great find. Great price, service, place to sit and wait. And I was offered a fabulous cup of tea! The best thing for me though as a single mum in my 40s was the complete lack of patronising attitude that I have unfortunately come to expect at most places with anything to do with cars, DIY etc. Superb, all round. Thank you.
Very efficient, really pleased with the work
Absolutely shocking service, promised car back after a day, car eventually returned 5 days later with half a tank of fuel missing, cigarette ash on the carpets (I have never smoked in the car) muddy footprints in the rear footwells. The old gearbox had been left in boot and had smashed the back of the seats and boot lining. The gear linkage had been zip tied in place, I can only assume the clips had been lost. The car was running very badly due to a boost hose being left loose. And to top it all the price had gone up £25 for some vague reason that couldn't be explained. If I could give 0 stars I would.
Front a rear disc's and pads. Very happy
Very good service and fast. Was dropped off and was asked if I wanted to be picked up very nice and friendly people. Will be going there again for my MOT
Great price, great service, will be using again in the future
Was well worth price was well communicated will use again and strongly recommend them
very fast, efficient and cheap! great customer service!
No waffle or BS, job done quickly and efficiently. Great friendly service and advice.
Best price in the area for an air conditioning re-gas - and expertly carried out by professionals. Will return for future repairs. Highly recommended.
Not sure if would recommend.
Finally got the job done, happy with service. Would recommend

Working In A Family Business
At the same time, there are several challenges associated with family businesses. Family disputes, unbalanced employee treatment and lack of planning for the future are a few of the most common issues.
As the operator of your family business, you need to know how to walk the tightrope between family employees and non-family employees, all while keeping your eye on the bottom line. Here are some tips to give your family business the foundation that it needs to succeed.
Separate family time from work timeOne of the advantages of a family business is that many of the "employees" are also family members, which often encourages a stronger commitment to the company. This means that there's a willingness to work overtime and on weekends, but that isn't always good for the family unit's health.
Business might come first, but family should always be a strong second. As such, it is important to make regular plans for the family to spend time together away from the office, on vacations or family outings, for example. While your family is away from the business, work should be the last thing on anyone's mind, and no one should think about or discuss it.
Separating family time and work time also means keeping family matters out of the workplace. Don't make your workplace a gossip terminal to air out ongoing personal issues between you and your obnoxious cousin. There's a time and a place to resolve personal disputes, and it doesn't happen at work.
Creating a division between family time and work time will keep your business moving and your family peaceful.
Treat all employees equallyWhen you work with some of the same people that you have dinner with, it's easy to treat or talk to family-member employees differently than the rest of your staff. You might be having a bad day, but that doesn't give you the right to be moody because family members "understand" that you're like that sometimes.
A good practice to avoid this pitfall is to treat your family members with the same level of respect that you give to your customers. This also applies to public displays of affection if you're working with your significant other. You might think it's cute, but your staff and family members will find professional actions more comfortable than your affectionate ways.
Equal treatment also applies to written policies, employee behavior and hiring procedures. This works best if you start early, by creating clear job descriptions and hiring based on qualifications, not on genes. Probationary periods provide the opportunity to make job expectations and performance standards known to all employees, regardless of their status as a family member. Finally, some solid rules of conduct will keep behavior patterns consistent and leave no one feeling like they will "get away" with something because they're family, especially when it comes to sexual harassment or possible conflicts of interest.
Everyone will feel welcome and no one will be favored if you establish equal treatment across the board.
A family business is not immune to change…

For the following reaction, 2SO3(g) = 2SO2(g) + O2(g), the equilibrium constant, Kp, is 1.32 at 627 degrees Celsius. What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction: SO3(g) = SO2(g)+ 1/2 O2(g)
One thing that you should note quickly is that the equilibrium constant expression depends on how we write the chemical reaction.
For example, consider the following reaction
N2O5(g) < - > 2NO2(g) + 1/2O2(g) K = [NO2]2[O2]1/2/[N2O5]
However, we can just as easily multiply the whole reaction by 2- perhaps we don't like the stoichiometric coefficient of 1/2 in front of the oxygen. This gives
2N2O5(g) < - > 4NO2(g) + O2(g) K' = [NO2]4[O2]/[N2O5]2
K depends on how you write the chemical reaction! If you multiply the chemical equation by a given number (such as 2), it is the same as raising the equilibrium constant expression to that power. (K' = K2 in the above example.)

I did it, i did it I DID IT! I came downstairs, on my own!!!!!!! yep!!!!!!!! i was meowing upstairs and was looking for Gracie.. i just got tired of meowing and no one listening! so i walked downstairs... looked around.. and started exploring!! i kept bothering mommy too when she was doing some trip planning! then i went to the condo and was playing in there.. then i had some lunch.. then i had a nap.. then i played with Gracie for a bit.. then a snack.. now resting again! Mom is soooo proud of me for finally making my way downstairs!! she knew i would in time.. she just let me do it in my own time, never forcing me... so when i was ready , i came downstairs! it may have taken me six months, but who's counting! mol!!!!!!!
Yep.. i may not go downstairs ( yet) but i am certainly establishing myself as the boss of the kitties! Snowflake would be proud. He was the boss of the kitties before.. He was followed around the house by them, just everyone followed his lead. I hope to be that good one day, i dunno! but i am trying. Lola even cant get enough of me, rememeber she would chase me and hiss in the beginning?? now she cant stay away from me! but i just dont give her the time of day.. i really kind of ignore her actually! she plays " head butt" with me.. but my main squeeze has been and always will be Ms. Gracie.. she is the one for me! we are together 24/7! Mom hopes i will come downstairs eventually.. i havent yet. I walk in the hallway but thats about it... maybe some day i will walk downstairs.. maybe! maybe not! but i have all i need upstairs... food, water, toys, comfy place to sleep, litter box..! i am all set!! meow!!!
.But Lola chased me and i ran back upstairs.. ! I am getting there... very slowly but surely! this is the first time ever i walked down the stairs. I have to be able to fight off fears of anyone chasing me.. Lola chases me because she knows she can and I run.. but hopefully i will stand up to her and chase her back! she comes over to me other times and wants kisses.. so she is not looking to fight with me, but she knows my reaction when she chases me, she knows i run.. but the minute i run back at her will be the time i am totally free of any fears!! mom thinks this is a major breakthrough that i left the bedroom on my own..and walked half way down the stairs!!yeah, i ran back up, but its a step in the right direction!!! this morning Petey came in and although Petey doesnt really bother me, sometimes he chases me because he knows he can.. well today, i fought back and he actually ran away from me!! so i am getting braver !! a little every day!! pretty soon you will read diary updates about me rulilng the house! meow!

Washington • Rep. Jason Chaffetz has twice been burned by people who lied about their military service and now he wants the Pentagon to create an online database to help sort out the honest veterans from the fakes.
But leaders in the armed forces don't share his concern.
Representatives from the Defense Department, Army, Navy and Air Force testified in a House hearing Wednesday that creating a centralized database of military awards would take more effort than it's worth and they defended their separate record-keeping practices.
"There appear to be adequate procedures in place to verify fraudulent claims to military decorations," said Lernes Hebert, the director of the Defense Department's Office of Enlisted Personnel Management.
A visibly frustrated Chaffetz, R-Utah, said he would draft legislation to force them to create a central repository.
"I think this is a lack of leadership within the Pentagon," he said. "They have failed to recognize the problem. They have failed to recognize the need."
Joseph Davis with the Veterans of Foreign Wars supports Chaffetz's position, saying an easy-to-use database would help those who really served the nation, streamlining their access to health care, disability benefits and burial services.
"A searchable military decorations database is the only responsible way to properly document the medals the military issues," he said.
Chaffetz argued that the database's value would go beyond veterans' issues. He said the government offers incentives for veterans to bid on high-dollar contracts without having a fail-safe way to ensure the person bidding actually served in the military.
"It is not some guy in a bar trying to impress a woman that I'm worried about," he said. "We are talking about millions of dollars and the integrity of those who truly earned their awards."
Chaffetz called Wednesday's hearing in reaction to his own experience with Myron Brown, a Korean War veteran from Provo.
Last June, Brown presented the congressman's office with fraudulent documents that said he should have received three prestigious Air Force medals 60 years ago.
Chaffetz pinned the medals on Brown, 86, at a Saratoga Springs town meeting, covered by KSL, the Deseret News and The Daily Herald of Provo.
But people who track such awards raised questions after seeing the media reports and The Salt Lake Tribune uncovered in November that Brown's citations didn't match the official Air Force records from the 1950s.
Chaffetz's staff had also asked the Pentagon to verify Brown's new awards. It took four months and repeated prodding before the military confirmed that Brown did not earn the medals.
"As a sitting member of Congress with my own legislative liaison, that's the kind of response that we get," Chaffetz said in the hearing. "I can only imagine some employer in Florida, or pick any state you want, trying to go through this process. I don't believe our own military can go through this process sufficiently and find the answers they want about their family and their own records."
Brown has said he deserves the medals and that he didn't falsify the documents. Chaffetz asked the U.S. Attorney in Utah to investigate the matter for a possible criminal violation.
He also handed prosecutors information about an employee he hired in 2011 under the congressional wounded warrior program. The man claimed to have won a Purple Heart. Chaffetz fired the employee when he learned that the man never received the medal.
In 2006, Congress made it a crime to lie about receiving military honors, though the Supreme Court last week took up a challenge to that "Stolen Valor" law. The legal issue is whether such a lie is protected under the First Amendment right to free speech.
The man who first questioned Brown's medals was also instrumental in pushing that Stolen Valor law. Doug Sterner, along with his wife Pam, of Virginia, have taken it upon themselves to track and document the military's most decorated service members.
Doug Sterner is the curator of the Miltiary Times Hall of Valor. He testified Wednesday that he created his online directory from incomplete and scattered military records, along with media reports.
As an example of the confusion, Sterner says he has the official Army citations for 1,068 Vietnam veterans who received the Distinguished Service Cross, though the Army only acknowledges 848 such awards.
"That's 220 of that war's most highly decorated heroes otherwise lost to history because of poor record keeping," said Sterner, a Vietnam veteran. "We owe them a lot and the least we owe them is an accurate record of their deeds."
He said the records exist, some are on 3-by-5 cards, others on microfiche, so while it would take money, people and time to build a database, it wouldn't be complicated.
"It's data entry. It's not rocket science," Sterner said.
The military representatives downplayed the number of stolen valor cases that they find and therefore said it was unnecessary to make an extensive public database.
"While even one false claim is too many, the limited frequency of such claims does help to inform the way forward," said Hebert, the Defense Department official.
The Navy says it has only received two requests to verify an award's authenticity at the headquarters level since 2008, though its database is available to law enforcement.
The Air Force said it has looked into the awards of 731 veterans at the request of members of Congress since 2010 and found only two fraudulent cases.
The Army reported less than 20 fraudulent cases in the past three years.
The Pentagon studied a comprehensive searchable database in 2009 and found that "although the intent of such an endeavor was laudable, the database would have little utility for reducing the number of fraudulent valor awards," according to Hebert, because it would preclude information that could violate a soldier's privacy.
Hebert acknowledged the military must make it easier for the public to access the various records now housed by the separate services in 12 locations.
Chaffetz questioned the military statistics, saying they downplayed a real problem.
"I would be led, if I heard your testimony or read your testimony, to believe everything is fine," he said. "It is not fine. It is not working."
Stolen Valor Act
The 2006 law makes it a crime for a person to falsely claim they earned military medals. The constitutionality of the act is being challenged in a California case that was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court last week. Justices were asked to decide whether lies about military honors are protected by the First Amendment. A ruling is likely months away.
