Parentage analysis and outcrossing patterns in cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) farms in Cameroon. Heredity. p.1-8. Interpretive Summary: Parentage analysis for 400 farm accession was estimated using 12 molecular markers with the goal of tracking changes in population structure on the commercial cocoa farms. In the 1970s biclonal seed gardens were planted to deliver farmers seeds of superior families that demonstrated heterosis for yield and other traits. These seed gardens had 24 specific parents that consisted of Upper Amazon Forastero (UA) and Trinitario (Tr) types that were different from the traditional 'German cocoa' that had been grown on farms and that is an Amelonado type. Seed gardens were arranged to take advanatage of natural pollinations using self compatible and self incompatible parents. Of the 400 accessions analyzed 26% were found to be closely related to the traditinal Amelonado variety. Another 46% were found to be direct descendents from the 24 parental clones used in the biclonal seed gardens. This 46% could be sub-divided into accessions that were hybrids between the first generation F1 plants (21%) and selfs of the first generation hybrids (25%). The remaining 28% of the accessions resulted from uncontrolled pollination events on cacao farms. The implications for cacao breeding in Cameroon are clear, only 21% of the progenies distributed from the seed gardens corresponded to F1 hybrid combinations originally planned to be released. This research demonstrates the need for strict control of pollinations in cocoa seed gardens in Cameroon. The current situation has resulted in a higher rate of inbreeding in commercial fields and a higher rate of Phytophthora pod rot. Increasing the quality control of seed production in the seed gardens should alleviate these problems and reduce the number of seeds from farmers' selections.
Technical Abstract: The present study investigates the parentage of farm accessions in Cameroon using data from 12 microsatellite loci. Bayesian analysis suggests that 25.5% of the 400 farm accessions studies are still closely related to the traditinal Amelonado variety called 'German Cocoa' by the farmers. Another 46.3% of the farm accessions were found to be direct descendants (20.8% first generation (F1) hybrids and 25.5% selfed genotypes) from 24 parental clones used in biclonal seed gardens (BSGs) established in the 1970s in southern and western Cameroon. Furthermore, 28.3% of farm accessions appeared to descend from uncontrolled pollination events in cacao farms, which could be related to a common practice of cacao growers to use seeds collected in their own farm for new plantings. All farm accessions descending from BSG could be individually related through parentage analysis to the 24 progenitors of the BSG. Only 25% of the progenies distributed from BSG corresponded to F1 hybrids combinations originally planned to be released. Significant biparental inbreeding estimates were observed for all 'traditional' farms and for most 'F1 hybrids' farms due to presence of a high proportion of selfed accessions. Biparental inbreeding occurs when plants receive pollen from genetically related neighbors. High levels of outcrossing observed in 'mixed' farms might be explained by the admixture of traditinal varieties and BSG progeny. The implications of our finding for management of seed gardens and for further breeding using farm accessions in Cameroon are discussed.

Letter from
Sara Litzelman RDH, LCCC Graduate
As a student in the dental hygiene program at LCCC, I was very anxious and excited to start working on patients during my first year. The opportunity was presented to see a guest speaker, Eva Grayzel, who was an oral cancer survivor. She told her remarkable story about her journey with oral cancer, and explained the importance of early detection. Little did I know that a few months later, I would have something in common with Eva.
In spring 2012, I started to see my first patients. My grandmother was one of the first patients that I ever saw clinically. During the intra-oral exam, I noticed an area on her tongue that I wanted to bring to the dentist's attention. She attributed it to her ill-fitting partial plate rubbing on that area. A biopsy was taken when she visited her dentist and it came back negative for oral cancer. This diagnosis did not sit well with me. After seeing Eva, and seeing
that area on her tongue, I was still worried about the negative results. I called my sister saying I knew it was oral cancer. During the summer, my grandmother's tongue started to swell, and the area was growing rapidly. This was my biggest fear.
In fall 2012, I made sure my grandmother was one of my first patients again. She had another biopsy done two days before I saw her in clinic. We had a new oral cancer screening wand that I was anxious to use on her. The wand was a light that reflected abnormal cells, and when put into use on my grandmother, it didn't show anything abnormal. I was puzzled at this point, but my grandmother felt relieved yet again. A week later, the lab results came back that my grandmother was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma. I felt my heart drop and I thought of Eva, and the struggles she had.
Two surgeries and a year later, my grandmother is a SURVIVOR due to early detection and the urging dental hygienist she has as a granddaughter.
The faculty at LCCC and I followed my grandmother's story from the beginning to now. Today, I am a licensed dental hygienist and a professional member of the Oral Cancer Research Foundation. Being only 21 years old, I know my passion in life. I feel as though I was meant to be a dental hygienist, to see Eva, and to save my grandmother's life. I practice T.A.M. (Tongue and Mouth) oral cancer screening and I urge other dental hygienists to do so. T.A.M also happens to be my grandmother's initials. Coincidence or fate? You decide!

Dental Health Facts
- · Roughly half of American adults aged 30 or older have some form of periodontal disease according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey data reported in 2012. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, the percentage can be as high as 70-80%
- · Inflammation from chronic oral infection (like periodontal disease) may be related to systemic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke), respiratory disease and even certain forms of cancer.
- · Pregnant women with moderate to severe periodontitis have a 7 to 8 fold increased risk of delivering a premature, low birth weight baby.
- · The mouth may be one of the first areas of the body to show certain conditions like: Vitamin B deficiencies, acid reflux disease, certain blood abnormalities (like leukemia), bulimia and suspected child abuse and neglect.
- · Nine out of 10 adults ages 20-64 have had cavities in their permanent teeth, and dental disease is the most common chronic disease suffered by children, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.
- · In 2010, Pennsylvania received a grade of "F" for children's dental health according to a PEW report. In 2013, the state received a grade of "D."
- Myth: Normal healthy gums sometimes bleed.
- Fact: When gums are healthy, they should not bleed spontaneously or from proper home care. Bleeding gums may indicate inflammation from bacteria found in plaque. The tissue that covers the gums is the same type of tissue that is present on skin. Would you be concerned if your hands bled every time you washed them?
- Myth: A hard toothbrush cleans better than a soft toothbrush
- Fact: A hard bristled toothbrush can be damaging to teeth and gums. When applied correctly, a soft bristled brush is more effective in cleaning near the gum line.
- Myth: Poor oral hygiene only affects the mouth.
- Fact: Scientific research has revealed a strong connection between oral health and systemic health. The same bacteria found in dental plaque that cause periodontal disease have been found to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Poor oral health can also decrease blood sugar control in diabetics and has been found to contribute to premature births.
- Myth: Everyone needs to floss between teeth.
- Fact: While it is important to clean in between the teeth since dental disease often begins there, not everyone benefits from flossing. For people with gum recession and open contacts between teeth, floss may not be effective in cleaning these areas and other aids like tiny brushes should be used instead of floss.
- Myth: Diet sodas and other diet drinks do not cause cavities because they do not contain sugar.
- Fact: These drinks may contain certain acids that can erode teeth and contribute to tooth decay.
- Myth: Sugar causes cavities.
- Fact: Cavities are caused by germs in the mouth that feed on sugar that produce acid which attacks the tooth. In time, the acid attacks weaken the tooth to the point where a cavity forms.
- Myth: Toothbrushes should be replaced twice a year.
- Fact: Replace your toothbrush every three to four months or sooner if the bristles become frayed or if you have had a contagious illness or suffer from periodontal disease.
- Myth: Germs that cause cavities cannot be passed from person to person.
- Fact: Parents and caregivers can pass bacteria that cause cavities to their children by testing or blowing on their food, sharing utensils or licking a pacifier to "clean" it. Adults can transmit germs that cause periodontal disease by kissing another person.

A hockey fan was not impressed after he was sprayed with silly string during an NHL match in Tampa, Florida.
The fan was supporting the visiting Boston Bruins team when the Tampa Bay Lightning's mascot 'Thunderbug' decided to have some fun and spray him with the offending string.
The away fan jumped out of his seat, turned and pushed the mascot to the ground.
Thunderbug kept his cool and instead signalled to the security personnel to remove the Boston fan from the arena.
The Bruins fan still had time to dish out some choice words to Thunderbug and the fans surrounding him before he was finally moved outside.
It is not the first time that a mascot has got himself into trouble recently.
Last week, fans sitting on the lower deck of the Utah Jazz's basketball game against the Cleveland Cavaliers got an unexpected surprise when Utah's clumsy bear mascot dropped a birthday cake on them.
Thunderbug's showdown should autoplay above and you can watch 'Bear's' mishap below.

GPLv3 drawing criticism
Earlier today, I read an article at InformationWeek.com that discusses the upcoming version of the General Public License, to be released later this month. It seems some within the open source community aren't happy with the additional protections being added to the new License:
On one front, Microsoft continues to challenge the legitimacy of Linux and other open source products, claiming they violate hundreds of Microsoft patents. Microsoft is offering patent-protection deals to Linux distributors to shield them from any future lawsuits it might file. Last week, it disclosed pacts with Linux distributor Xandros, which represents less than 1% of the market, and Korean manufacturer LG Electronics, which embeds Linux in some of its devices. The deals have the same "we won't sue your customers" provision of an earlier arrangement with Novell.
Last week, new doubts were voiced not by Microsoft, but by William Hurley, chief architect of open source strategy at BMC Software and chairman of the Open Management Consortium, a group committed to producing open source IT infrastructure management software. GPLv3 is designed to forestall Microsoft's patent deals, restrict digital rights management, and ban restrictions that sometimes get placed on open source embedded in hardware. Maybe GPLv3--intended as a license that grants freedom to developers--is trying to do too much, suggests Hurley.
In a blog posting titled "The Death Of A Software License," Hurley argues that the Free Software Foundation is moving away from developers' core interests and getting bogged down in its own political agenda. "The FSF should realize by now their influence is waning," Hurley wrote. "They're really hamstringing themselves with version 3, taking the license further and further from where industry developers are heading."
I find it interesting that Hurley perceives the GPL as having been developed in order to grant freedom to developers when the Free Software Foundation is very clear about their dedication to "promoting computer users' rights to use, study, copy, modify, and redistribute computer programs." That's computer users, not developers. The GPL is available for developers who want to release their software in keeping with that notion. It sounds to me like Hurley's interest in completely free software is what's actually waning, more than anything, as his complaints seem to be centered around limitations on commercializing software licensed under Version 3.
Here is info about the latest draft of GPLv3.
Any thoughts from fellow open source advocates here?

I'm doing an 04 Escalade 6 liter swap, and the motor has Delphi 25317628 injectors in it. I'm uncertain of the origins of these injectors and rails.
Can anyone tell me for certain exactly which flow rate these injectors are? I'm hoping to find someone who has verified that this is the injector part number that came in their car, and they have a read of their stock PCM tune.

...pretty please?Originally posted by Sev
This is a discussion on Autometer's A-pillar replacements are available within the Interior Mods forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; Originally posted by Sev Please...................... ...pretty please?...
...pretty please?Originally posted by Sev
Please for the love of my gauges show the pods......................
ahhh i'm waiting for my film to get developed but if i can get a hold o fmy friend's digital camera I'll try to post them tomorrow. one thing that i might change about this is the color... i think it would be nicer if they matched the grey interior.
My tripple piller matches the grey interior just fine. Did you get a black one or grey? Anyhow it is installed but I have to still hook up the gauges. I'm going to finish tonight, and I'll see what I can do about pics after I'm done.
Does anyone know if the Autometer pods come in both wagon and sedan specific versions? If not, us wagon guys are going to have to wait a while longer because the pillars are not the same length. My guess is that if they only release one WRX A-pillar, it will be molded for the sedan...
You know what, i have no clue... the person who I've been talking to is at a race right now so I don't want to bother him but it seems like they would work for both. I got the black one and I think the grey one would probably look much nicer. I took some pictures and when I called in to check today the pictures aren't done yet. If you can silWRX just post whatever you have. The picture taht I took is kinda ghetto anyways because it's not even installed, it's just bsaically a picture of me holding the thing inside my car. I'm still waiting for the EGT to come in so Roberto and I can do the install hopefully this weekend along with the Vishnu Stage 0 kit.
I know you guys want to see this thing and I will try to get them to you sap. Hopfully buy this weekend I can post them. I havent finished installing the guages quite yet, the pod is in but the wires still have to be ran so their hangen everywhere in the car.
I would like to show you guys n gals (if any gals) good finished pics with my input on the pod. So just stick it out until this weekend and I'll have em up for viewing.
ok folks..let's post some web links to performance stores that sell the Autometer gauge pods (both A pillar and maybe bezel?). I just checked summit's site and didn't find anything
Here's what we need...
1. price
2. pics
3. your thoughts on how it fits and stuff.
Maybe a group buy??
I agree! some one needs to get a group buy going on these puppys... I wonder who is all interested? I would buy one now instead of waiting myself.
Kenny at Stillen.com called me yesterday and stated my A-Pillat from AutoMeter shipped out last Fri and provided me w/ a tracking #. I should have it Fri if UPS doesn't mess up. . I hope it's the right product if AutoMeter doesn't mess up.
I agree. It looks like there is a lot of interest in this A-pillar replacement.
I'll contact Zach and ask him about a group buy for clubwrx.net. I've never organized a group buy before, so if you have, please send me some pointers. If we do this, I think we should group buy the 3-gauge pillar mount. I know that is the one that I am interested in and it seems to be the one that everyone else is interested in as well.
I'm down for a group buy on that. Who else?
I'm down for a group buy 3 pod A pillar
I just checked i-club this morning and didn't see any group buys or threads on the Autometer pod, so maybe we can get one going here first eh?
I've never done a group buy, but it sounds like a deal where the dealer will sell a bunch at a nice discounted price based on committed folk and prepaid folk.
keep us posted!
w00! i'm excited. This is what I've been waiting for for my baby...
I'm in for a group buy. If it is the 3 pod grey one. I was looking at getting one of these anyway for $50, so if we can get an even better price, go for it! Let us know how much they'll cost with the discount.

And that just happened to me!
The timing couldn't have been better.
I found out earlier than he wanted, in the most uncanny way-which is typical. Since, I can be

I felt God urging me to just leave it. I have a reputation for returning gifts, which sends the message of "why try?" to my husband. And get a grip, don't I always wish he'd do something like this? Honestly, I was still tempted. But truly, it felt like my Father telling me "leave it."
First, I should tell you: we're wrestling with a big decision right now. For over a year now, we've analyzed every aspect, sought counsel, and spreadsheeted that sucker to death. Still, there are things we can't control and many what ifs bouncing around in our minds. The theme of our conversations leading up to this trip can be summed up with "Will God provide?"
The night before we left we got a call from our hotel. They had overbooked and wanted to set us up at..wait for it...The Benjamin hotel! What?! Of the thousands of hotels in NYC! Of all the other reservations, they chose ours. At first, it was annoying to Dan, until I filled him in on the back story.

One night, we went down to the Gershwin Theater box office hoping we'd luck out & get discounted seats. No luck. But we discovered the lottery. Have you heard of this? Enter your name 2 1/2 hrs before show time (entries taken until 118min before show time, bring cash & ID) and 2 hours before show time they draw 13 names for the FRONT ROW SEATS, at $30 each!
I felt like I was flying around the city (until my blisters reminded me I wasn't)! Our Heavenly Father was going before us, granting us favor, blessing us in ways only we could appreciate were from Him. We just kept looking at one another, no words necessary, acknowledging God's blessings. Furthermore, the message wasn't lost on us: He will provide for the unforeseen, for things beyond our control. God is with us.
"Every good gift bestowed, every perfect gift received comes to us from above, courtesy of the Father of lights. He is consistent. He won't change His mind or play tricks in the shadows." James 1:17 (the VOICE)

"This card work perfectly for my baby's 1st birthday and went well with the theme - The Masters. The colors just pop out and you can get playful with the photos you add. It had the right amount of colors, contrast and creativeness. The real product surprised me by how great it turned out."
"This card was a one of a kind invite. We used it for our son's first birthday party. Our family loves it and many will keep it as a keepsake, which is what we intended. Great quality paper and very cute and unique!"
"I absolutely loved the designed but expected better quality pictures. I can't tell if it is an error on my end or a flaw in the printing of the invitations."
"I love how vibrant the colors are and how sturdy the card is! I love how fast they arrived with the cheapest mailing option. I got them 3 days before I was told they would get here. The fact that you get emails telling you what process your cards are in is another perk. Overall I'm super glad I went with Tiny Prints and I will never use anyone else again! Thank you Tiny Prints for giving me a card that will forever stay with me!"
"I was so surprised at how fast these invites arrived especially considering I live in Australia :) thank you so much for these beautiful invitations they are everything I wanted and more. Will definitely be back in the future."

I'm a fan of Chris Welsh and he has commented numerous times this year about poor pitch selection hurting our pitchers. I agree with this former pitcher and wonder if our young studs are getting correct advice from our catchers. IMO, a catcher's ability to strategize a game with the correct pitch calls is much more important than anything else he could do. Are our boys getting the job done in this regard?

The extreme criticism has come up for Dhanush from the internationally renowned Bollywood lyricist and the Urdu poet Javed Akhtar. Akhtar seems not to be happy at all with the work of Dhanush at all, which is why he finally spoke against Kolaveri di in hard words.
Javed Akhtar, the legendary lyricist and the famous script writer who has been in the industry for decades conferring his skills to the cinema industry, has opened up criticizing Kolaveri di song.
Talking about Kolaveri di song, Akhtar mentioned that the composition, rendition and in particular the lyrics of the track are of poor quality. He got amazed that how the song shoved to such heights that it turned out to be the biggest blockbuster of the south film industry.
The song not only has been making bigger waves in south world but also has been creating its special niche in Bollywood related scene.
Akhtar, the famed Bollywood legendary personality whose family has been associated with the literary works (his father and mother – both the much popular figures of Urdu literature), shows his disapproval of the song that has turned the biggest ever chartbuster making the movie more popular among the film-goers.
He mentions critically that he would like to specially thank to the aggressive promotional techniques, web and latest ways for the marketing which even make the substandard works much popular among the masses.
Javed Sahib says that quality should be given importance and Kolaveri di has no quality at all. Well, we cannot deny the thoughts of the intellectual poet and lyricist but the fact of the matter is that the song 'Kolaveri di' has been riding on the higher waves and is on cloud nine. The team associated with this product is super duper excited and has been enjoying the success.

Good Job Obama: Not Sarcasm
Obama Announces End of Operation Iraqi Freedom
Maybe this is the start of something good out of the Prez.
well the current administration has worked to make good, a promise made by the previous government.
I can only assume that this ambition was determined to be next to impossible and was therefore set up to give opportunity to the republicans to illustrate that Obama is as ineffectual as they were?
Sadly for the Bush-ites, the Obama people have been given a chance to sing from the roof tops in self-congratulation. goddamn it is impossible to get away from Obama-footage last night and today!
there are still 50 000 troops out there though. irrespective of the justification for this, that still strikes as something of an occupation to me. But at least the suggestion of progress being made in a desirable direction affords comfort to many.......
The greatest thing about that speech was admitting that Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan need to get their shit together and protect their own country, because it's not our ultimate responsibility. If we sit there until "terrorism" is defeated, we will never leave. Not that the war was really started to quell terrorism...
Things are still extremely risky for the remaining 50k troops there, but it is still a progress in the right direction because those troops are no longer actively seeking combat. They are there to train Iraqi forces.
As for Afghanistan, that is a different story. We'll see though. A lot people are still pissed at Obama, but I can't hate on his administration right now. The end was no where in sight during the Bush Administration. At least now we can see a little bit of light at the end of that tunnel.
I see a similarity in Obama to Bush and indeed to all other head's of state.
It is interesting how easy it still is to see the President of America as The Leader of The Free World (TM). For so long, the bringing of peace to the entire planet was touted as justification for often violent US foreign policy.
But like any good international leader, the primary interests lie at home. It is therefore not much of a criticism to brand Obama (and Bush) as 'protectionist'.
The distinction is however, whereas Bush sought to secure benefit and wealth to petro-chemical and weapons manufacturing companies (aka close family friends), Obama is seeking to re-establish the reputation of America as a whole, to encompass all fields of industry.
There has been criticism of Obama overly chastising BP. But BP are scumbags. But such vocal condemnation does illustrate how Obama intends to put America first before all. Canuckians are worried about trade implications... Iraqis etc might worry about security concerns... but ultimately Obama recognises the need to safeguard domestic issues and that is no bad thing.
I just hope this doesn't create an isolationist climate, where past wrongs are not righted and that future co-operation is jeopardised.
Money talks..sadly.
Budget for 2010
For the 2010 fiscal year, the president's base budget of the Department of Defense rose to $533.8 billion. Adding spending on "overseas contingency operations" brings the sum to $663.8 billion.[1][2]
When the budget was signed into law on October 28, 2009, the final size of the Department of Defense's budget was $680 billion, $16 billion more than President Obama had requested.[3] An additional $37 billion supplemental bill to support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was expected to pass in the spring of 2010, but has been delayed by the House of Representatives after passing the Senate.[4][5] Defense-related expenditures outside of the Department of Defense constitute between $216 billion and $361 billion in additional spending, bringing the total for defense spending to between $880 billion and $1.03 trillion in fiscal year 2010.[6]
[edit] Emergency and supplemental spending
The recent invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan were largely funded through supplementary spending bills outside the Federal Budget, so they are not included in the military budget figures listed below.[7] In addition, the Pentagon has access to black budget military spending for special programs which is not listed as Federal spending and is not included in published military spending figures. Starting in the fiscal year 2010 budget however, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are categorized as "Overseas Contingency Operations" and included in the budget.
By the end of 2008, the U.S. had spent approximately $900 billion in direct costs on the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Indirect costs such as interest on the additional debt and incremental costs of caring for the more than 33,000 wounded borne by the Veterans Administration are additional. Some experts estimate these indirect costs will eventually exceed the direct costs.[8]
[edit] By title
The federally budgeted (see below) military expenditure of the United States Department of Defense for fiscal year 2010, including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, is[9]:
Components Funding Change, 2009 to 2010
Operations and maintenance $283.3 billion +4.2%
Military Personnel $154.2 billion +5.0%
Procurement $140.1 billion −1.8%
Research, Development, Testing & Evaluation $79.1 billion +1.3%
Military Construction $23.9 billion +19.0%
Family Housing $3.1 billion −20.2%
Total Spending $685.1 billion +3.0%
$664 billion! Holy shit!
Imagine how good healthcare would be if that was added to the health budget!
Yeah. An that's WITHOUT the 2 wars budget. It is beyond insane. W could fix EVERYTHING and go to Mars with that cash.
And have spare money for a free all eason pass for everybody...:)
You can see why the country usually does well when it's not in a war. I'm sure most people who post in this forum have read it, but 1984 by George Orwell has some interesting insights on the ulterior economic purposes of wars.
Agree with you. Sadly we don't even need to read 1984 anymore. War is the engine of capitalism. US IS the capitalism..hence this nation is at war at every generation.
I didn't grow up here, I'm, Italian, what I find truly amazing, is the apparently unlimited resource of youth WILLING to enroll in the Army and go to war. You realize that happens only here in US in the Western world? No other kid anywhere would do it...but here kids run to the Marines camps...why?

LED Projector Review – 3M MPro110 Pico Projector
Ultimately, like with other pico projectors in its class the main attraction of the MPro110 is its tiny size and light weight, as well as being battery operated. The 3M MPro110 projector comes with an internal rechargeable battery. We ran the 3M from full charge, twice, and both times it lasted just a few of minutes over one hour, before the battery gave out. More on the battery, later. I find that this 3M LED powered pico projector can produce a respectable image in a mostly darkened room from very small, say 12 inches, to about 24 inches diagonal. Fully darken the room and you can go larger. In a fully darkened room, the MPro110 can produce a barely bright enough image up to almost 50 inches (40 inches wide), which is also about as large an image as it can focus. Even 3M seems to agree, in their literature, they use "up to 50 inch" in describing how large an image they consider maximum. The focus limitation makes sure of that.
Projector Lamp Life
Thanks to the small (and cool running) LED light source, 3M rates the life of the LED light as 20,000 hours – roughly 6 to 10 times the life of most traditional projector lamps. This means that there is no significant cost of ownership to figure in. This projector will be so obsolete, years before the LED lamp source gets close to its rating.
VGA Input
This is the first pico projector that I am aware of to offer a VGA input. This should make it the favorite for those planning to use it for small business presentations. While at least one other has a media player built in, with the MPro110, there's no need to convert files, just plug it into your laptop. Although the MPro110 is VGA resolution, it supports SVGA (800×600) and XGA (1024×768) source material. More on that in the Performance section of this MPro110 review.

Due to the fact that all members of the prokyon3 project are currently busy with their jobs and families we decided to not continue the project for a while.
The main reason is that it's senseless to continue a qt3 based development and porting to qt4 will be a to much work at the moment.
If you look back in the history of prokyon3 you'll notice that it's not the first time this project faces such a situation and I'm convinced that we'll continue later this year.

After the 0.9.2 release we took a break because everybody was very busy with his job / family. But during the last half year prokyon3 was heavily developed and extended. Now we released the first beta of 0.9.3. Due to the big list of technical changes since 0.9.2 we decided to release public beta version(s) this time and invite you for testing and helping us developing a stable 0.9.3 release. If you want to tell us any issues about 0.9.3beta, please use the prokyon3 0.9.3 PublicBetaTest forum.... read more
Christophe Vandeplas created a rpm of prokyon 0.9.2 for SuSE 9.1:
Warning: SuSE 9.1 users MUST have CDs mounted in any drives before starting prokyon3 0.9.2. Otherwise prokyon3 will segfault :-(
It includes all libraries like qt3 and an embedded mysql server.
You just need an xfree server and a linux kernel. That's all...
All this in a upx-compressed binary less than 5M...
With wide-spread of fast internet connexion, this is by far the easiest way to download and try prokyon3 for most GNU/linux users.
There is virtually no install and creation and connection to the mysql database is fully automatic.....
Matthew Hughes added FLAC support to prokyon3. A patch for prokyon3 0.9.2 is available at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=47522&atid=449729
FLAC support will also be part of the upcoming release of prokyon3 0.9.3 which will also offer some other new features.
Stay tuned!
Thanks to Gustavo Franco prokyon3 0.9.2 is available at the debian unstable tree: http://packages.debian.org/prokyon3
Bugs regarding this package can be reported through Debian BTS (Bug Tracking System) at http://bugs.debian.org
Markus Kalkbrenner
Please have a look at our forum:
Thanks to Maxim Heijndijk we're able to offer binary and source rpms of prokyon3 0.9.2 for Mandrake 9.1 and 9.2.
After providing two release candidates we are proud to annonce the availability of the final version of prokyon3 0.9.2.
Have fun!
RC2 just contains some bugfixes compared to RC1.
prokyon3 0.9.2 RC1 is out.
prokyon3 0.9.2 will bring several enhancements and bugfixes:
- smart playlist generator
- rudimental CD burning support
- MySQL4 support
- gcc 3.3 support
- QT3.2 support
- many gui improvements
- save gui setup
- bugfixes
- documentation added
- localization (french, german and dutch already supported)
The upcoming release of prokyon will be localized. We already translated it to french, german and dutch. Anybody who wants to help us by translating it to another language is welcome!
The current CVS version is stable from our point of view and contains a lot of enhancements and bugfixes. The source is also compatible to gcc 3.3 now. It would be nice if you test it and give us some feedback!
Stay tuned for prokyon3 0.9.2 :-)... read more
We started the documentation of prokyon :-)

Extra Video
Howdy! I'm Trueblade Seeker. The new comer in this forum.
I have made Dissidia FF AC Character Moveset Videos that explain their mechanic and status.
Some of you probably already saw some of these videos that many people have been shared on this forum. And I'm really thankful.
So I decided to open this thread to share all of the videos and discuss about it.
I will make another when new character come out.
Cosmos Side:
Uhhh.... These have already been shared on the main Dissidia Arcade topic. Nice idea, though.
================================================== ===================
Wanna see the most awesome Kingdom Hearts meme in history? Click spoiler.
Thank you man. Seeing videos of these is nice
I love these videos; it's so hard to see moves and move details normally. I've actually been a bit of a fan for awhile now. Can't wait for your next video, when the next character gets released of course.

I was fortunate enough to get into the Steam Home-Streaming beta about a week ago and I've been messing around with the system on and off since. It's definitely a beta with its quirks and bugs, but overall I'm fairly pleased with the system. Assuming Valve continues to improve and optimize it I think PC gamers who want to get away from the gaming rig now and then will have a nice system to do so.
Using the system requires zero set up. You run Steam beta on one machine, then go to another machine and run the Steam beta there, log in using the same account and setup is done! If you look at "Installed Games" on either machine, you'll see both locally installed titles and games that are installed on other machines on the network. If you choose a game that's not installed locally, you'll get a "Stream" button. Click it and away you go. (If you don't want to Stream it there'll also be an Install option.)
At least when everything works right, away you go. I ran into a few 'gotchas' mostly concerned with playing games for the first time. For my testing I was using a copy of Dishonored that I had installed but never played. When I ran it on the client machine I got a message saying the connection had timed out. When I went to check on the host machine, I saw the system was doing the Steam 'first time startup' dance and had triggered a UAC alert. Since no one was around to click "OK" the start up had halted.
With some other games this never happened since they didn't trigger the UAC alert. Instead I got a "running first time startup" message on the client and eventually streaming started, but (and if you're a Steam user you'll know what I'm talking about) first time setup can take a while and when you don't know exactly what's happening, doubts crop up. Trust in the Stream! If the host machine has hit a glitch you'll get an error message.
With another game (Blackguards) streaming started up but I had no mouse cursor, so I was stuck. When I Alt-Tabbed away from the game I wound up looking at the host desktop. While I'm sure this was a bug, it seems like a bug Valve might want to turn into a feature. Wouldn't it be nice if they built remote desktop access in, so you could click on things like a UAC alert without going to the host machine?
But these are the kinds of glitches you'd expect with a beta, so I'm not too worried. One thing that was a little odd though. When you play via streaming, the host computer is of course running the game. For some reason I assumed that output would be suppressed on the host, but it is not. On the host machine the game boots up and starts playing, complete with sound. The first time this happened it was rather unsettling for my girlfriend who was sitting upstairs in the office where the host rig was. She thought a gaming ghost had moved in! Anyway, if you think you're going to be streaming and you don't live alone, consider turning off your display and speakers on the host machine!
I tested streaming from my "gaming machine" if you want to call it that. It's an i7-4770 with an Nvidia GTX-760 graphics card.
First I tried streaming to my cheap laptop. It's a Lenovo that I bought for about $400 a few years back. It can run almost none of today's modern games. It was connected via a 2.4 Ghz wireless connection and I believe it connects to 802.11g. I did nothing to optimize the connection and we have a lot of interference in the shape of cordless phones and lots of WiFi devices talking back and forth.
Honestly I didn't think it would work, but it did and Dishonored was playable, but not ideal. The stream converted from the 1920x1080 it was running on the host to the 1366x768 screen on the laptop, running at 30 FPS. The Streaming beta has an option to toggle on stats and a graph. These shows that I was using 33% of the estimated 44 Mbps of bandwidth available, had a ping time between 3 & 4 ms and latency around 56 ms.
The bottom line is that for now, if you need to stream over semi-lousy WiFi you probably want to stick to games that are a little slower-paced. But again, this is beta and early beta at that. Still it was a treat to be playing any kind of AAA game on this junky old laptop. I should also note that folks on the Streaming Beta community that have devices that can connect to a 5 Ghz 802.11n (or 802.11ac) signal report much better results.
Next I tried streaming to the Alienware X51 that sits under the TV. This machine could play Dishonored locally, but I wanted to see how well it streamed. I tried it using both a 10/100 hub and a gigabit hub to see how much difference that made. Unfortunately even on gigabit my bandwidth was topping out at only 145 Mbps or so (probably something to do with the cheap 50' Ethernet cable I have running up the stairs and into the office).
On the 10/100 connection I was using 16% of an estimated 92 Mbps of bandwidth. Ping time was about 1.5 ms and latency of 50-60 ms, which seemed high to me. I'll need to diagnose that (maybe that cable was causing this latency as well). [Update on the latency issue: I was misunderstanding the reading. Latency, in this context, includes the time it takes for the host machine to encode the stream, the time the stream takes to travel over the network, and the time it takes the client to un-encode the stream. It seems to also vary game-to-game.] When I swapped in the gigabit hub I was using 10% of an estimated 141 Mbps. Ping dropped to under .5 ms but latency still stayed around 50 ms.
In both cases with the wired connection, I was streaming at 1920x1080 but still only at 30 FPS. I'm not sure why it's capping at that low a framerate. There are some settings you can tweak and which I haven't yet messed with; they're all set to automatic.
But all these numbers aside, the system works for casually playing all but the fastest moving games. I wouldn't want to enter into a competition using In-Home Streaming and I'm guessing something like a fighting game would suffer from the lag. But for people like me who have a gaming system in the office or den and want to get those games onto the living room TV now and then, In-Home Streaming means you can use an inexpensive PC as the client and not worry about whether your video card is up to the task or what have you.
It's not perfect yet, but I didn't expect it to be. It's a solid start though, in my opinion.
I'll end this post with some example graphs from the 3 tests I did. I'm going to be totally honest and admit I don't know what the red and blue lines represent. I think they're video and audio, but they might be upstream and downstream. Valve hasn't documented any of this stuff very well yet!
Remember the WiFi test was at 1366x768. The other two were at 1920x1080.
In-Home Streaming performance using 10/100 wired Ethernet In-Home Streaming performance using gigabit wired Ethernet
In-Home Streaming performance using 10/100 wired Ethernet
In-Home Streaming performance using gigabit wired EthernetAs you can see, the experience is much more consistent using a wired connection, but I'm sure that doesn't come as any kind of a surprise. If you're in the Steam In-Home Streaming beta, what have your results looked like? Please let us know in the comments.

DH and I were realizing last night that we are really bad at validating, and not out of lack of sensitivity to each others emotions, just out of not knowing what to say. Does anybody have any ideas on how one would go about developing the ability to know what to say to validate somebody's feelings and to practice making it a habit? Are there any books you would recommend?
The trick is to remember that you don't have to do anything about the other person's feelings. You don't have to fix it. You don't have to agree with it. It doesn't have to make sense. It's just their feeling, not a fact, and all human beings have feelings that rarely make sense, and that's okay. So I would just say, "I'm sorry you're feeling bad. Do you want to talk about it?" Or, "Wow! I would have been scared, too!"

I know that in my mind, but when it comes to practicing it, I just never seem to know what to say. Perhaps it would be helpful if any of you mamas don't mind sharing a list of real live validations you have used. Validations of husbands would be especially helpful, because it always seems to sound patronizing.
I'm not sure if this is what your thinking of but reflective listening is often helpful in validating another persons feelings. There's info and books out there on that, I think searching reflective listening should turn stuff up.
So for instance your husband says something like "we really can't spend anymore money this week" and you say "your really stressed about the money situation lately". Your saying back to him what you thought you heard. Either he says, yes, I am really stressed about it and not sure when it's going to get better, etc or he says no, I'm just worried about this week or whatever and says back to you hopefully a little more clearly what he meant. Either way though, people feel heard. It does take some practice and it sounds a little weird at first but it's a great tool to have.

I totally second the reflective listening. It can be really powerful to hear back what you are saying, it lets you feel like you've been heard and allows space for clarification if need be.
A big part of it for me is letting go of agenda....letting go of trying to make it different for myself or the other person.
Also a big part of it is standing in my truth and learning to speak it without needing someone outside of myself to validate what I'm feeling.
As far as not knowing what to say sometimes, that's valid too! Sometimes not saying anything is just ok. Maybe look at why (if) there is a need to fill up space with saying anything as a response.
hope that helps.
Thanks! Reflective listening is pretty much what I was I was looking for. If you have any books you know of that are helpful, please let me know. Google is being quite helpful otherwise. I told my mom about working on this, and she tried it in a tough meeting with somebody who had been not doing his job and lying to her about it, and the meeting went really well. I find it funny that I can describe to her what to do in principle but struggle with what to say when I'm in the moment.
I am also trying to be a better listener. I just read a few things about reflective listening and I have to say that I had a friend who tried to use it on me and it came off poorly. I felt like she was putting words into my mouth, it was patronizing and overall it felt fake.
How to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk is a pretty good book. It is of course more directed to dealing with kids but there are a lot of good ideas in there dealing with anyone.
I am also trying to be a better listener. I just read a few things about reflective listening and I have to say that I had a friend who tried to use it on me and it came off poorly. I felt like she was putting words into my mouth, it was patronizing and overall it felt fake.
Yeah, I could see how it could be used badly and come off like that. It also depends on the attitude of the person who's trying to listen to you, if they really don't care, it's gonna sound fake. If she really did care and it still sounded like that to you it might have been another issue or she needed some practice! The idea is not to put words in the other persons mouth, it's to see if 1) you really understood what the other person said and 2) to validate their feelings about what they just said.
SO if you said "I feel like your not listening to me" or "Why do you shut me off when I talk about my mom"
and I said "You feel like I'm not listening to you" or "I shut you off when you talk about your mom" you'd probably be like what!? yeah that's what I just said, aren't you listening? Then we'd be set back further.
What I should have said would be something like
"Ok, so you feel like I'm ignoring you when you talk about XYorZ?" (pause for a second to give them a chance to respond) then you can explain your side or how you feel.
Jessica, wife to Greg since 7/04, mama to the Gman 7/06, 3 , Asher 1/11 and a wonderful surprise due in August!
Yes! This is exactly the problem that my husband and I are having. It sounds very patronizing when the words come out. At the same time, I've seen it work well. I've been the recipient of it working well and feeling like I was respected and heard. I was talking about some struggles that it felt like nobody had understood when they were happening early in my breastfeeding relationship. At a LLL get-together, there were two women who listened as I shared my story, validating just enough of my statements to keep me going, and when I was finished, I felt like for the first time, somebody understood what I had gone through. My experience wasn't something that "shouldn't" have happened, as I had felt before. It was something that happened to me. I want to be able to give what those women gave me to my family.

Directors: Phil Lord and Chris Miller
Stars: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Brie Larson, Dave Franco, Ice Cube, Rob Riggle, Ellie Kemper, Jake Johnson, Nick Offerman, Chris Parnell, DeRay Davis
Hollywood's long, painful history of unsuccessfully adapting cop TV shows into feature films cast a dark, seemingly impenetrable shadow over the Jonah Hill-steered 21 Jump Street reboot—think of flops like Car 54, Where Are You?, Dragnet, and Taxi. But guess what none of those flicks had? The comedic wizardry of babe-melting beefcake Channing Tatum. Yeah, writing that statement felt as weird as it does for you to read it, trust us.
But that's the truth. Playing the more intelligent of the film's two young cops turned undercover high school students, Jonah Hill scores, but 21 Jump Street's biggest secret weapon is your boy C-Tates, whose turn as the Hill's dim-witted counterpart is nothing short of a revelation. The same goes for screenwriter Michael Bacall's script, which dexterously balances outrageous humor with character development.
And let's not forget directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, whose only previous big-screen credit was the memorable animated pic Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Under their energetic control, 21 Jump Street has a loopy energy throughout, most evident in a drug trip sequence that's spit-your-drink funny.

Factbox: Roman Catholic Church's saint-making process
(Reuters) - The Vatican is preparing to elevate the late Pope John Paul II one step closer to sainthood Sunday.
Here are some key facts about the canonization process by which the Roman Catholic Church makes a saint:
-- Under normal Church rules, five years must pass after a person dies before the procedure for sainthood can even begin. Despite a person's reputation of holiness during his or her life, the process cannot begin until after death.
-- The reigning pope has the authority to waive the five-year waiting period. Pope Benedict put John Paul on the fast track in May 2005, just two months after his predecessor died.
-- When the local bishop begins the "cause," the candidate for sainthood receives the title "Servant of God." A "postulator" is then appointed to help gather information about the candidate. The postulator also reviews nearly every word known to have been written or spoken by the candidate.
-- One miracle is required after a candidate's death for the cause to move on to beatification. The miracle must be the result of a person praying to the candidate for intercession with God. Miracles are usually the healing of medical conditions that doctors are at a loss to explain.
-- The candidate can then be beatified and declared a "blessed" of the church. Another distinct miracle is needed between beatification and canonization, or the conferring of sainthood.
-- Parts of the Church's saint-making process go back several centuries. The procedure is detailed and often long. In the early Church, a simple acclamation sufficed. Continued...

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
Since, I don't have a search engine running on that site (but do on another) and have no personal information on the site of any kind. The site and my application have me DBA as myself, that is for tax reasons, the IRS allows that and it allows me to look into new income opportunities without the cost of setting up companies untill that option becomes cheaper.
I was hoping to use adsence on the new content so i would not have to hunt down sources for income. However, i found a site that has affiliate links which are great for a large percent of my new content (and that other site appears to be doing well). I am now affiliated with that program.
They clearly did not look at the interlinking of the site or they would of seen the site I am moving to the new one, which has alot of traffic and is 100% business related.
Anyways, I've got an email address that i can reply to (same one as everybody else has), and address my site with them in the future. The new pages with little traffic only need to make money if they burn bandwidth, I've got another site lined up for 75% of where I expect growth. Because i am moving another site I already know my bandwidth will be growing ... but i have reduced the cost of my bandwidth and am adding alot of new content, I've been working ... later i will contact adsense again.

Pics of HBO's 'Bored to Death' and 'Teenage Paparazzo' Premiere
HBO held two premieres on the same night for its two different programs. On Tuesday, September 21 night NYU Skirball Center was filled with the stars and producers of TV s "Bored to Death" while The Pacific Design Center Silverscreen Theater was crowded with the faces from documentary "Teenage Paparazzo".
At "Bored to Death" premiere, the stars were celebrating the imminent season 2 that begins airing this Sunday, September 26 as well as the release of season 1 DVD on September 21. Jason Schwartzman and Ted Danson represented the main cast, accompanied by creator Jonathan Ames and HBO co-president Eric Kessler.
Season 2 is opened with "Escape From the Dungeon" and by episode 2 nudity will happen. "I think I'm the first creator of a TV show to do full-frontal nudity," Ames told NY Times at the premiere. "Fortunately it was very meager, because I'm so small."
Meanwhile over at "Teenage Paparazzo" gala, Adrian Grenier who produces the movie showed up with Austin Visschedyk who is the center of the documentary. Grenier's "Entourage" co-stars such as Kevin Connolly and Sasha Grey showed up for support. The former will actually be part of the documentary as the one being interviewed.
"Teenage Paparazzo", which airs September 27, is brought up to life after Grenier met 14-year-old Visschedyk who caught his attention among the crowd of grown-up shutterbugs. On bringing such youth to the fame side, Grenier admitted, "I don't really know how he's going to handle it. And hopefully in the process of making the film and the film itself will be a guidebook of sorts to help him cope and make healthy decisions about the experience he's going to go through now."

So I have noticed when I start my car (key turned to the start position) if the car doesn't start right away I will see some smoke coming from under the dash.
Over the past week it seems like the starter isn't always getting power, it will try to crank but won't turn over completely. I initially thought this was due to my ignition switch. I replaced that a few days ago and I am still experiencing the same problem.
Up until this morning it would eventually start for me. This morning there was finally enough smoke this morning for me to see where it was coming from.
It was surprisingly a ground wire that connects to one of those circular ground posts under the dash.
It had a plastic brown end to cover the spade on it, that burned first and was probly why there was little smoke initially. Now the insulator wrap is burned away and the wire is black (burnt).
So what would cause this? A blown fuse? A broken relay?
Rocco in question is an 85

Napolitano Hosts Fellow 9-11 Truther Ventura, Who Mentions The "Truth Of 9-11"
On his Fox Business program last night, Andrew Napolitano hosted Jesse Ventura to discuss the history of "government deception." Ventura and Napolitano share the view [1] that the government is hiding the truth behind the 9-11 attacks.
The topic of 9-11 conspiracy theories appeared to briefly surface when it was mentioned during an aside by Ventura. Ventura said that a New York City fireman recently thanked him for "standing up for us firemen and telling the truth of 9-11." Napolitano replied that "it's very interesting that people are worried about losing their benefits if they speak the truth. The truth used to be a premium in this country. Now you get punished for it."
From Fox Business:
VENTURA: You know what I had happen to me the other night? I had a New York City fireman come up to me and say, 'Governor, thank you. You're talking for us on 9-11.' I said, 'Why don't you firemen that were there speak out?' 'We can't, they'll take our retirements. They'll fire us. You're the one that's standing up for us firemen and telling the truth of 9-11.'
NAPOLITANO: It's very interesting that people are worried about losing their benefits if they speak the truth. The truth used to be a premium in this country. Now you get punished for it.
This isn't the first time Ventura and Napolitano have discussed the "truth" about 9-11. Freedom Watch used to air on FoxNews.com and in March 2010, Napolitano and Ventura spent several [2] minutes discussing Ventura's belief that the government either "participate[d]" in 9-11 or "knew it was going to happen and didn't do very much to stop it." At no point did Napolitano dispute or challenge Ventura's 9-11 conspiracy theories. To the contrary, Napolitano wondered if "someday we will look on 9-11 the way we look on the JFK assassination today, that is, where people who question the government's involvement will be mainstreamed, rather than looked upon as an extremist fringe."
From March 2010:
Napolitano also hosted [3] Ventura in October on Fox Business; during the interview, Ventura said he was investigating the "alleged Pentagon plane" attack, to which Napolitano replied, "We'll be watching."
Both conservatives [4] and liberals have criticized Napolitano's 9-11 Truther views. When given a chance to comment about Napolitano's beliefs, both Media Matters and CNN received [4] no comment from Fox News.
Minutes after the Ventura interview, Glenn Beck appeared on the show and endorsed Napolitano as his successor at 5pm. In other words, Glenn Beck, who has spent a significant [5] airtime [6] condemning 9-11 Truthers, has endorsed [7] a 9-11 Truther to take his timeslot.

Dorm Room Diet
College students get an A+ in health and wellness.Top Rated Diets of 2017
Each August new college freshman arrive on campuses across the country. They're on their own for the very first time and expectations are high for what lies ahead. It doesn't take long for students to start noticing expanding waist lines and the realization that The Freshman 15 is not a myth. The Dorm Room Diet, by Daphne Oz, suggests a simple lifestyle plan that can help guide college students toward a healthier way of eating, even when it's not the most popular thing to do.
Daphne is the daughter of renowned cardiac surgeon and favored Oprah guest Dr. Mehmet Oz. Following in her father's footsteps, Daphne has created a dieting book that incorporates her experiences of living on her own in the fast-paced world of college.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- No counting
- Healthy variety of food
- Suited to a college lifestyle
- Promotes exercise
- Not a lot of forgiveness for munchies
- Usually at mercy of what is available in the dorm cafeteria
- College budget doesn't allow for some of the food recommendations
The eating habits of a college student would scare most moms into never letting their kids leave the nest. But it's ultimately up to you how well you're going to take care of yourself. Finding your own way of eating is one of the biggest challenges you face living on your own for the first time. The Dorm Room Diet shows that you can eat and still enjoy eating and where to find the healthiest choices on campus.
There aren't really any groups of foods that are off limits. You're encouraged to eat less processed foods and more whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, nuts, and good fats found in olive oil. There's even room for coffee and sweets.
The rules that The Dorm Room Diet has regarding food are fairly simple:
- Always eat breakfast
- Eat at least ever three hours (small snacks between main meals)
- Stop eating two hours before bed
- Go to study sessions prepared for the munchies with healthy snacks like baby carrots, a handful of chocolate chips, almonds or apples
- Skip foods that can be addictive
- When you crave something really bad, count to your age and then decide if you really need it
You're definitely encouraged to maintain a regular exercise routine. Most colleges and universities have gyms on campus and often the membership fee is included in your tuition. Most importantly, you should do what you enjoy. And while those long walks between classes are certainly beneficial, your body needs more dedicated exercise.
The Dorm Room Diet suggests you spend about three days a week in the gym and mix-up cardio, strength training and yoga or Pilates. Many of these are offered as courses, so you can burn calories and earn credits at the same time.CONCLUSION
Daphne presents her practical tips for eating and living healthy while away at college based on her own experiences. She says freshman are faced with so many changes and choices, that diet is often forgotten. Avoid that pesky freshman 15 throughout your first year of college as you learn the important skills you can carry on after you've earned your degree. The book is humorous, down-to-earth and educational. It's the perfect parting gift for your college student.Common Misspellings

Great diet..good idea for students. I didn't like the comment that fad diets were created for housewives that stay at home and have lots of time to shop. She made that comment in an article that I read about her diet. Stay at home women work really hard also ( I'm an RN) .Don't forget in your plight for health advocacy that you shouldn't offend any group of people..We are all in this together.
What are her credentials (besides having a famous father)? Did she even study nutrition?
i think this is a sensible diet as well i will be updating my status starting april 1st 2010 i weigh 236 rite now 240 to round off and this will be 30 days for me so wish me luck
I would like my son to get on this! I think it is a great plan with sensible realistic diet.
even if you're not living in a dorm and eating on a meal plan, like me (I'm a commuter student), this book is really helpful for staying healthy. what I like about it is that although you will probably lose some weight eating this way, it's about making changes that will benefit your health for the rest of your life, and that is much more important than what dress size you wear.
dorm room diet has solid tips for all, not just college students
bought dorm room diet 4 my daughter her fresh year. she said it helped her stay on track
