Teen burglarizes home, leaves MySpace logged in
Deputies said they found empty soda and food containers, and some marijuana on a coffee table
Associated Press
SUGARLOAF KEY, Fla. — Investigators say it wasn't difficult to find a teenager who broke into a Florida Keys home because he left a computer in the home logged onto his MySpace account. The Monroe County Sheriff's Office reported that 18-year-old was charged with burglary, theft and possession of burglary tools after Sunday night's break-in.
Deputies said a caretaker for the Sugarloaf Key home reported the burglary. Deputies said they found empty soda and food containers, and some marijuana on a coffee table. They later found the teenager who said he broke into the home to get out of the unseasonably cold weather.

Okay, so this map looks like a 5-year-old made it. (No one ever said--or will say--that I can draw.) But I have to have a quick reference. And so far Google Earth has not traveled to Tammy Jo's Duvall. C'mon, Google, help an author out!
Do you like the stuffed Merc holding up the map? (So cute, right!?) Like Mercutio himself, stuffed Mercs are quite rare.
So I'm not showing you this map just for heck of it. I have some Southern Witch news. Awhile ago, I promised readers that I would return to Tammy Jo when I caught my breath after a whirlwind 2011 writing schedule for the Etherlin.
When I finally started work on what I thought would be an electronic novella for fans, my agent and publisher joined the party. So now there will be at least two more full length novels, one short novella, and who knows what else. Hurray!
I'll keep you posted on all the details as I get them.
Many thanks to the fans of this series. I'm convinced that you made this happen by buying and talking up the books. Thank you! As always, you're the reason I write. :)

Bucs try to fill holes at Winter Meetings
Littlefield out to fill holes at Winter Meetings
On the surface, it appears as though the Pirates have been mere casual observers thus far this offseason, watching from afar while division rivals Chicago and Houston forked over nine-figure contracts to superstars Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Lee.
Behind the scenes, however, Littlefield says that he has been active in setting the groundwork for moves that will help to bolster the middle of his lineup and his starting rotation.
"We've done some work during the latter part of the season and into the GM meetings," said Littlefield. "We have a pretty good idea of where people are at and where we match up with other teams for possible trades. We've had a lot of discussions with free agents."
Although the Pirates, who have approximately $13 million to spend on roster additions this year, won't be bidding for any big-ticket free agents, Littlefield believes there are still bargains to be had among the group of players who remain on the open market.
"As things go at this time, we're just not [going for] players in that Soriano or Carlos Lee type of market," said Littlefield. "But there will be good values out there for certain players and we'll hopefully get a hold of a couple of those, like we have in the past.
"We're aware of the going rates now for free agents. We'll keep tabs on where that goes and what fits for us."
Where the Pirates are planning to make their most significant moves is through trades. The Bucs' big-league roster is stocked with talented young pitchers, both in the starting rotation and the bullpen. In dealing from this area of strength, the Pirates should be able to acquire the left-handed hitting first baseman or outfielder that they covet.
"We've been certainly looking more towards trades from the beginning," said Littlefield. "We've had lots of discussions with teams about that type of player. As to where it ends up, it's hard to say. We'll see where it goes. Those discussions will continue."
Faced with a similar need for a left-handed hitting first baseman last year at the Winter Meetings in Dallas, the Pirates acquired veteran first baseman Sean Casey from the Reds in exchange for southpaw Dave Williams. This time around, the Bucs would prefer to nab an impact hitter who is closer in age and experience to the core group of players that already comprises the majority of their big-league roster.
"As you look at our club, almost all of our players are under our [contractual] control for the next couple of years," said Littlefield. "We'd like to get a player who fits into that group. However, that isn't always the case and we'll make adjustments where necessary."
While the rising cost of doing business with free agents has kept the Pirates on the sidelines for the early stages of the Hot Stove season, Littlefield believes that the inflated free agent salaries could ultimately benefit the Pirates in their trade negotiations. Because Pittsburgh's young pitchers will be under contract for several seasons, and thus only earning a fraction of what free agents are demanding, they will be a more valuable commodity for teams that are looking to improve their pitching staffs without breaking the bank.
"It definitely will help for trade possibilities," Littlefield said. "That's how it works. You have to draft, sign and develop your own players. We do a good job of that. It's a very, very valuable asset."
With executives from every big-league team set to spend four days at the same hotel, the Winter Meetings could be just the time for the Pirates to cash in on their assets.
"I think it's very apparent that face-to-face contact is more conducive for getting deals done," said Littlefield. "It's a good setting at the Winter Meetings to do those.
"We'll see where the Winter Meetings go. But ultimately, the goal is to win more games in '07."

Condition: Standard
All Product Details
Our tale begins with the line-Once there was a Kingdom. From this we know that we will be given vision and insight into that kingdom, which is our own inner world. If you listen to the old language of the tale you will see into that inner realm, seldom explored by the modern rational mind. A gold mine of information and insight is promised by a few words -- Once there was a Kingdom.
The Story Begins
There is a king, a queen, and their three daughters. The two eldest are ordinary princesses, not very remarkable.
The third daughter is the very embodiment of the inner world and even bears the name Psyche, which means soul. She will take us on a journey to the inner world. She is as much of the mythic king dom as she is of the earthly kingdom.
Do you know these three in yourself? Who can be unaware of the ordinary part of ones self and that special unearthly inner self who does so badly in the ordinariness of everyday life?
So great was the power of this extraordinary princess that people began saying, "'Here is the new Aphrodite, here is the new goddess who will take the place of the old one, drive her from her temple, and entirely supercede her."' Aphrodite had to bear the insult of seeing the ashes of the sacramental fires in her temples grow cold and the cult of this new slip of a girl take her place.
Now, Aphrodite was the goddess of femininity who had reigned since the beginning-no one knew how long. For her to see the rise of a new goddess of femininity was more than she could bear! Her rage and jealousy were apocalyptic and the whole course of our story is determined at this moment. To stir the rage or demand change of a god or goddess isto shake the very foundations of one's inner world!
The Mythic Elements
The origins of the two goddesses, Aphrodite and Psyche, are interesting. Wielding a sickle, Cronus, the youngest and craftiest son of Uranus, the god of the sky, severed his father's genitals, and flung them into the sea thus fertilizing the water and Aphrodite was born. Aphrodite's birth was immortalized by Botticelli in his magnificent painting, the Birth of Venus: she, in all her feminine majesty, is being born upon a wave, standing on a shell. This is the divine origin of the feminine principle in its archetypal form, which may be vividly contrasted with the human birth of Psyche who was said to have been conceived by dewdrops that fell from the sky. What curious language! But this language is rich in psychological insight if you can hear its archaic, timeless message.
The difference between these two births, if properly understood, reveals the different natures of the two feminine principles. Aphrodite is a goddess born of the sea: she is primeval, oceanic in her feminine power. She is from the beginning of time and holds court at the bottom of the sea. In psychological terms, she reigns in the unconscious, symbolized by the waters of the sea. She is scarcely approachable on ordinary conscious terms; one might as well confront a tidal wave. One can admire, worship, or be crushed by such archetypal femininity but it is extremely difficult to relate to it. It is Psyche's task, from her human vantage point, to do just that-to relate and soften the great oceanic, archetypal feminine. This is our myth.
Every woman has an Aphrodite in her. She is recognized by her overwhelming femininity and vast, impersonal,unrelatable majesty.
There are marvelous stories about Aphrodite and her court. She has a servant who carries a mirror before her so that she may constantly see herself. Someone continually makes perfume for her. She is jealous and will stand no competition whatsoever. She is constantly arranging marriages and is never satisfied until everyone is busily serving her fertility.
Aphrodite is the principle of mirroring every experience back into our own consciousness. As man is occupied with expansion and exploration and finding that which is new, Aphrodite is reflecting and mirroring and assimilating. Aphrodite's mirror is symbolic of a most profound quality of the goddess of love. She frequently offers one a mirror by which one can see one's self, a self hopelessly stuck in projection without the help of the mirror. Asking what is being mirrored back can begin the process of understanding, which may prevent getting stuck in an insoluble emotional tangle. This is not to say there are not outer events. But it is important to realize and understand that many things of our own interior nature masquerade as outer events when they should be mirrored back into our subjective world from which they sprang. Aphrodite provides this mirror more often than we would like to admit. When ever one falls in love, sees the god or goddess-like qualities in another, it is Aphrodite mirroring our immortality and divine-like qualities. We are as reluctant to see our virtues as our faults and a long period of suffering generally lies between the mirroring and the accomplishment. Psyche takes just such a long journey between her falling in love with Eros and the discovery of her own immortality.
ThisAphrodite is the great mother goddess as seen through the eyes of her future daughter-in-law. When a woman mediates beauty and grace to the world, often it is the Aphrodite or Venus energy at work. But when Aphrodite is confronting her daughter-in-law she is jealous, competitive and determined to set out hurdles for Psyche at every turn. This drama of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is acted out in every culture and is one of the psychic irritants which can contribute so much to a young woman's growth. For a young woman to cope with her mother-in-law's power system is to attain feminine maturity. She is no longer that dewdrop which came so naively into the world and into her marriage.
It is embarrassing for a modern, reasonably intelligent woman to discover her Aphrodite nature and the primitive, instinctive tricks it can play. Aphrodite...

'Twitter Watch' Aggregates Tweets from Broadway Insiders
For Broadway fans interested in what's happening behind the red velvet curtain, waiting at the stage door may no longer be necessary. Through its new feature "Twitter Watch," the Web site Broadway World has aggregated the tweets of 100 theater stars, producers and critics who are active on Twitter.
Recent tweets on the feed at press time included this from Matthew Morrison of "Glee" fame:
Matt_Morrison Just got to Atlanta for my first day of filming... http://t.co/TVyZ8UP
Kyle Dean Massey, who is currently starring in "Wicked," tweeted this:
kyledeanmassey Holy moly! We just felt our first NYC earthquake.
The producers of "Catch Me If You Can" tweeted this:
CatchMeMusical - Who's coming out for our lottery on Thursday 8/25 @ 5pm for a chance to win a backstage meet & greet with Aaron Tveit?? http://t.co/LMlERQb
After an article about the upcoming production of George Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" in the New York Times elicited a furious response from Broadway godfather Stephen Sondheim (and others), "Porgy" star Audra McDonald even announced her winking response with a tweet quoting Sondheim.
"To quote the greatest theater composer of our time...'Art Isn't Easy'" McDonald tweeted, referencing a song from Sondheim's 1984 musical "Sunday in the Park with George." (Check out a clip from the musical below.)
In the world of live theater, where a behind-the-scenes perspective is often carefully guarded by Broadway's press representatives — see the unfolding saga of "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" — Broadway World's Twitter Watch could speed up the access to the Broadway community and move the conversation forward. We know we'll be watching.

The Boston Children's Hospital Hand and Orthopedic Upper Extremity Program is dedicated to the comprehensive care of all upper limb conditions in infants, children and adolescents. Under the direction of Peter M. Waters, MD, and Donald S. Bae, MD, patients with congenital, neuromuscular, sports-related, oncologic and traumatic or post-traumatic conditions of the upper extremity receive multi-disciplinary care that includes occupational and physical therapy, splinting/casting and reconstructive surgery.
In addition, our Hand and Orthopedic Upper Extremity Program does clinical and basic science research that will have an impact on how we care for our patients in the future. We are currently studying a wide variety of upper limb conditions, including:
• The use of microsurgical techniques in reconstructive surgery for congenital upper extremity differences
• Reconstruction of the congenitally deficient hand
• Instability of the sternoclavicular and glenohumeral joints of the shoulder
• Post-traumatic stiffness and deformity of the elbow
• Surgical correction of forearm deformity following previous fracture
• Ligament and/or cartilage injuries of the wrist
• Microsurgical techniques in reconstructive surgery following limb salvage for bone and soft-tissue tumors
Many of these investigations have resulted in national and international presentations or peer-reviewed medical publications—and all have increased our ability to provide the highest standard of patient care.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

Mountain West Announces Recipients of Dr. Albert C. Yates Award
Named in honor of the former Colorado State University president, the award is presented to individuals who have successfully supported, promoted and exemplified the ideals of the Mountain West or a member institution. With the addition of Gasser and Bova, the number of individuals who have received the award increases to 11 during the Mountain West's 15-year history.
As two of the original members of the Mountain West Joint Council, Gasser and Bova have demonstrated their commitment to academic excellence and integrity in collegiate athletics through their respective roles at Air Force and New Mexico and by actively participating in a variety of MW and NCAA committees.
Gasser has spent 31 years in the athletics department at the U.S. Air Force Academy, the last 16 in the dual roles of associate athletics director and senior woman administrator. In addition to overseeing the Academy's NCAA compliance division and student-athlete advisory committee, she supervises 12 sports and is the athletics department liaison for all intercollegiate women's programs.
In her position as senior woman administrator, Gasser also serves as the university's Title IX coordinator. In this role, she is responsible for coordinating the Academy's efforts to comply with all federal regulations as they pertain to Title IX legislation. During her tenure, she has been a part of more than 30 committees at the university, community and national level. Most recently, Gasser spearheaded the formation of the athletics department's Culture and Climate Committee, which is tasked with fostering mutual respect within the Academy's athletics department and among cadet-athletes.
Gasser's career at the Academy began in 1983 when she became the head women's basketball coach. During her 15 years at the helm of the Falcons, she amassed a 233-172 record while leading the program to four conference championships and two NCAA tournament appearances. The recipient of several honors during her coaching career, Gasser was named conference coach of the year three times, and her 15-year tenure and 233 career victories are the most in Academy history in women's basketball. Gasser also lent her coaching expertise to USA Basketball, serving as an assistant coach on the 1994 Jones Cup gold medalist team and as a floor coach during national team trials in 1987, 1989 and 1995.
A native of Logan, Ohio, Gasser received a bachelor's degree in education in 1976 from The Ohio State University, where she was a basketball student-athlete. She went on to earn her master's degree in education from the University of Cincinnati in 1979.
A professor in the University of New Mexico education department, Bova has served as the Lobos' faculty athletics representative for 16 years. In her role as FAR, she supervises the university's compliance with Mountain West and NCAA rules. Bova has also worked diligently with student-athletes to address specific issues and challenges facing them on the UNM campus, including being a part of the university's Athletic Council. In addition, Bova has been actively involved in intercollegiate athletics at the national level, sitting on the NCAA Research Committee and serving a one-year stint as chair of the NCAA Certification Committee.
During her 36-year tenure at UNM, Bova has served the College of Education as the department director of programs, as well as the associate dean. Prior to her current position as Special Assistant to the Dean of the College of Education, Bova was the university's Chief of Staff to the President.
In addition to being a published author, Bova has served on more than 70 university, community and national committees during her time at New Mexico. She has received numerous honors throughout her career, most recently being recognized with the university's Jamie Koch Distinguished Service Award.
Bova attended St. Thomas Aquinas (N.Y.) College where she received a bachelor's degree in education in 1967. The New Jersey native earned her master's degree in educational research from Dayton in 1969 and her Ph.D. in adult education from New Mexico in 1979.

U.S. consumer prices likely picked up in April on rising gasoline and rental costs, pointing to a steady increase in inflation that could allow the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates later this year. The consumer price index likely increased 0.3 percent last month, according to a Reuters survey of economists, after edging up 0.1 percent in March. Excluding food and energy, the so-called core CPI is forecast to rise 0.2 percent after March's 0.1 percent increase. (0830/1230) Housing starts are expected to have gained to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 1.127 million units and building permits are also likely to have increased to a 1.130 million units. (0830/1230) Industrial production probably rebounded in April by 0.3 percent, after an unexpected fall of 0.6 percent in March. (0915/1315)
Two top Federal Reserve officials, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President John Williams and Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Dennis Lockhart, give their latest views on the U.S. economic outlook with the central bank's next policy meeting five weeks away. Both have been upbeat recently on the health of the U.S. economy, but neither has so far publicly agitated for raising rates in June. (1225 /1625) Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Robert Kaplan, whose dovish views on monetary policy align with much of the Fed's core, participates in a moderated question-and-answer session before a community forum hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas in Midland, Texas, where the oil slump has cost jobs and created a sense of devastation.

Home Depot Inc, the world's largest home improvement chain sales, is expected to report first-quarter sales above analysts' average estimate. The company likely benefited from higher spending by customers on homes and home improvement than on discretionary categories such as clothes.
Off-price retailer TJX Cos Inc is expected to report first-quarter profit above the average analyst estimate, according to Thomson Reuters StarMine data. Investors will look for sales forecast for the second quarter and the retailer's international expansion plans. Continuación...

For the final part of our 4th Anniversary project "U-NIFICATION" (see 2.1 here), we have teamed up with Korean Kiss Me's to deliver something very special to U-KISS.
Please scroll to end of first post for project status.
Success - May 5 2013
We were able to successfully deliver our dosirak delivery to uBEAT & staff members at SBS Inkigayo today. AJ personally thanked us (& AJ.COM) and Kevin also tweeted a picture out. Check it out below.
More pictures of the food itself will be uploaded soon. For now we want to thank everyone who helped us out with this project, whether it be via donations, good thoughts or physically delivering the project. Thank you!
Announcement - April 25 2013
NH EMG has finally given Rocketboxx the green light for our dosirak delivery. We will be making our delivery to uBEAT and 13 other staff members for SBS Inkigayo on May 5. This dosirak delivery will be a joint collaboration with AJ's upcoming & new fansite 'AJ.com' (www.ukiss-aj.com). Rocketboxx will be paying for all of the expenses from our collected donations (approximately $850USD) and AJ.com will assist us in delivering the project.
Announcement - April 9 2013
We have been trying to find a date to deliver the dosirak and have been in constant contact with NH EMG. Due to the schedule shifting and music show absences, it has been difficult to find a date suitable for the delivery. However, we will continue to search for that elusive day. It will be soon! Keep an eye on this thread for updates.
Announcement - March 10 2013
Yunah has delivered the pendants to U-KISS at the Collage 3rd Album Release Fan-Sign on March 10.
Announcement - December 24 2012
We apologise for the extremely delayed written update. If you had tuned in to our latest RocketRadio show (121209), we had explained that due to the nature of U-KISS's activities (with AJ taking a temporary absence from the group) there will be further delays with our U-NIFICATION project. We came to the conclusion that it would be in the best interest of the project to wait until 2013 to relay our projects to U-KISS. The reasoning behind this decision was made as we would like the whole of U-KISS to receive our gifts and, in addition, one of our staff (Yunah) will personally be in Korea next year to ensure the safe arrival of our project gifts.
We will try our best to keep you updated with all the happenings of the project from now onwards. We still have a total of $985.79 USD for food expenses. As the funds have exceeded our expectations, we may include additional gifts for U-KISS.
If you have any concerns or issues, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Yunah (canityoADORES) through PM or Twitter (@heysoldier, @canityo).
Announcement - June 13 2012
Lunchbox Delivery
It's been a roller coaster of a ride trying to get the lunchbox (도시락) delivery to U-KISS, the Korean Kiss Mes and Rocketboxx have been attempting to pick a date where it will coincide with a suitable music program appearances (only Music Bank, Music Core & Inkigayo).
As you know, DORADORA's promotions had ended abruptly and Believe promotions are being wrapped up as we speak. After a lengthy discussion with the Korean Kiss Mes, both sides have agreed that, because we want to be absolutely sure that the delivery will reach U-KISS and for our efforts to not be wasted, it is best to postpone the delivery until sometime in September (when their next schedule comeback is to be). We're extremely sorry for constant delays, we really want to shower the boys with lovely food as soon as possible, and we hope that everyone understands the decision both party has made. We assure you that, in the end, the boys will have a meal fit for a king.
Puzzle Pendants
The team at Rocketboxx has decided to engrave the number '7' on each of the puzzle pendants. As the puzzles symbolise the unity and teamwork behind U-KISS, we think that '7' is also meaningful in the way that they will celebrate their 4th anniversary together as seven; and it's also a lucky number.
Announcement - May 7 2012
Due to U-KISS's conflicting schedule in Japan, Korean Kiss Mes and Rocketboxx have decided to push the date of the food delivery to June. We will be delivering a feast to U-KISS upon their last broadcast performance of DORADORA, celebrating the end of their 6th mini-album promotions instead of the 4th anniversary. This means we have less than a month to collect all of the donations! We hope that you can spare a dollar and spread the word about this! Let's show how much we love U-KISS together.
The puzzle pendants will still be given to U-KISS as an anniversary gift.

We are working together with Korean U-KISS fans to deliver a feast to U-KISS for their fourth anniversary. These will all be hand-made items (with love), so they are extra special. We are working with the group of fans who previously brought U-KISS the following:
See complete set of photos here.
Food gifts are especially important in Korea, as it signifies the status of an idol. The better the food, the better the idol (apparently :p). This food gift will be delivered to U-KISS close to their anniversary date in August.
2. Pendants
We are purchasing personalised puzzle piece pendants for each U-KISS member, engraved with their initial. The pendants are in the picture below (there will be 7, not 6 as shown in the picture). The meaning behind this set of pendants is that U-KISS will always be one, no matter where they are. As cheesy as it sounds, they fit perfectly with and complete each other.
Here comes the messy part. We have no problem working with the Korean Kiss Me's on making this project a reality, but we need funds to do it. After much discussion, we have come to the lowest possible amount we can ask of you.
We hope to reach this goal, as the food project itself will cost over $600 (to be exact, we require over $1,100 for this project). We will already be using money from our own pockets to cover much of the expenses, so please be generous. Every dollar counts!
To make a donation, simply click here (or go to the index side bar), and you can pay with PayPal!
Also, our friends ukissmeSG (Singapore), Heawenkisses (Thailand), My_KISSU (Malaysia) and Lynette (Philippines) are collecting cash for those who do not have PayPal.
As for the time frame for donations, the tracker will be up until we reach our goal. However, in order to purchase the pendants (as we are having them engraved separately), we require funds for that more quickly. So if you can spare some money, please donate as soon as you can!
What we must also ask of you is to spread the word! Remember this is an international project, so let the boys know how much they mean to you! Do not hesitate to advertise this project on Twitter, Tumblr, your personal blogs, other fan communities, anywhere! We need as much help as we can get!
Donations will be listed by country on the gift note.
Let's work together on this, Kiss Me's!
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to post in this thread!

This Ken Shultz article came out just before the NY State DEC discovered IPN.
The Connetquot represents in one localized microcosm the best and the worst of a hatchery sustained fishery. On the one hand, a stream this close to such high population density could never support pure wild fish with unrestricted access to them. Operating a stream on a pay-to-reserve English beat system with a carefully managed stocking program allows for solitude rather than shoulder to shoulder and the chance to fish larger than normal brown, brook, and rainbow trout.
On the other hand, it is not reality.
On the one hand, the big sea runs and the cagey eight-pound holdovers with the hooked jaws exist in numbers not seen in normalcy.
On the other hand, the fish just out of the hatchery will hit a cigarette butt.
On the one hand, the state park encasing the stream is well protected and maintained and offers sanctuary for deer, wild turkey, fox, osprey, even bald eagle. The fishing is restricted to fly only, with barbless hooks. Rules violations result in banishment.
On the other hand, the catching can be so prolific it becomes a numbers game.
And then you have the bizarre scene now where in order to save the river, the trout must be killed. The hatchery had to close its doors and dump 80,000 fish into the river. Since January 1st there's been a 10-fish a day bag limit. It's been pretty fished out.
Some really big browns–feral holdovers that shed their hatchery dumbness years ago–are still left. Some guy pulled a 30-incher out last week. Of the few fish we saw caught, we estimated one to be 7 pounds and the another probably four. They were not released.
It's bittersweet.

[TELEVISION WATCH] How fast has the soccer buzz faded since the end of the World Cup? The USA-Brazil game on ESPN2 drew 783,000 viewers, only a quarter of the
average television audience for 2010 World Cup games on the ESPN networks. And only a fraction of last Tuesday's top draws, a pair of cooking shows ...
By comparison, the previous broadcast of a USA game, the round-of-16 World Cup match against Ghana, drew 14.9 million viewers on ABC and Univision.
The USA-Brazil audience was still about three times the average number of viewers for MLS games on ESPN2.
The best MLS audience of the season was the ESPN2 broadcast of the AT&T All-Star Game with Manchester United, which drew 714,000 viewers.
What was the USA-Brazil game up against?
The big draws on Tuesday's television lineup were cooking shows like Fox's "Hell's Kitchen," which drew 7.2 million viewers for its season finale, and "MasterChef," which topped 6 million viewers. Even "Chopped" on the Food Network drew 2 million viewers.
Then there were reality shows such as "The Rachel Zoe Project," "Gene Simmons' Family Jewels," "Growing Up Twisted," "Flipping Out" and "The Colony."
Never heard of any of them? Well, each outdrew the audience for the USA-Brazil game.

NY museum displays works by Dutch master Frans Hals
By Bernd Debusmann Jr.
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Paintings by celebrated Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, ranging from portraits done in the 1600s to genre scenes, are the focus of a new exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Hals, Rembrandt and Johannes Vermeer are the most famous of the Old Master painters. Hals is considered second only to Rembrandt in the Netherlands and as equal of Vermeer.
The new exhibit, which will be on display from July 26 until October 10, includes 13 paintings by Hals as well as several other Dutch artists who worked in the 16th and 17th century. Paintings thought to have been done by his sons, five of whom were also painters, will also be on display.
"Hals's bourgeois subjects, often colorful palette, and above all bold brushwork became more inspiring to Realist and Impressionist painters than Rembrandt's venerable model," the museum said in a statement.
It added he was the most celebrated of the three best-known Dutch artists in some European art circles, especially in Paris, and because of his influence on later artists.
Walter Liedtke, the curator of European Paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, said the only collection of his works better than the N.Y. exhibit is at the Frank Hals museum in Haarlem, in the Netherlands.
Among the paintings on display in New York is "Yonker Ramp and His Sweetheart," which depicts a young man holding up an empty glass during a night out in a tavern with an intoxicated-looking young woman.
"It's about the vivacity of youth," Liedtke said. "But it also symbolizes that the glass of your own life is out and you're behaving frivolously." Continued...

Dawn Bailey, Ganache Hill test kitchen chef Brett Bailey's sister-in-law, is the director of nursing at a world-renowned Cleveland, Ohio, hospital. Dawn loves to bake, especially cookies. In fact, she usually starts baking for the Christmas holidays right after Halloween. In the year 2000 she baked more than 300 dozen cookies. Dawn does a lot of research to come up with her own recipes; she is also organized about her cookie production, preparing and freezing the dough many weeks in advance, then baking for friends and family just days before the holidays. This one is a veritable vortex of cherries and chocolate, a soft-textured chocolate spiral that rolls alongside a crisp cherry swirl.
Makes Twenty-Four 3- to 3-1/2 inch Cookies
Cherry Cookie Dough
5 ounces I.Q.F. (individually quick frozen)
dark sweet cherries, thawed
6 ounces unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-ounce pieces
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure cherry extract
1/4 teaspoon red food color
3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted onto a large piece of
parchment paper (or wax paper)
Chocolate Cookie Dough
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-ounce pieces
1/3 cup granulated sugar
4 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
and melted
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 large egg white, lightly whisked
Make the Cherry Cookie Dough
Place the cherries in the mini-bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process for 30 seconds until puréed (this should yield 1/2 cup puréed cherries). Set aside.
Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle. Mix on low speed for 1 minute, then on medium for 2 minutes until soft. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle. Add the cherries, cherry extract, and red food color and mix on medium-low for 30 seconds, then beat on medium for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Operate the mixer on low while gradually adding the flour; mix until incorporated, about 45 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle. Now beat on medium until a dough is formed, about 30 seconds. Transfer the dough to a 12-x-20-inch piece of parchment paper (or wax paper). Use the palms of your hands to press the dough into an approximately 5-x-8-x-1-inch-thick rectangle. Place another 12-x-20-inch piece of paper over the dough. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into an approximately 10-x-18-x-1/4-inch-thick uniformly flat rectangle. (Unless you are a professional cookie dough roller, your rectangle will have rounded edges. Don't be concerned, these will be trimmed away.) Set aside at room temperature while preparing the Chocolate Cookie Dough.
Prepare the Chocolate Cookie Dough
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
In a sifter combine the flour and cocoa powder. Sift onto a large piece of parchment paper (or wax paper) and set aside until needed.
Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle. Mix on low speed for 1 minute; then on medium for 2 minutes until soft. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle. Add the semisweet chocolate, and mix on medium speed for 20 seconds. Thoroughly scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle. Operate the mixer on low while gradually adding the dry ingredients; mix until incorporated, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the heavy cream and mix on medium until combined and a dough is formed, about 45 seconds. Transfer the dough to a 12-x-20-inch piece of parchment paper (or wax paper). Use the palms of your hands to press the dough into an approximately 5-x-8-x-3/4-inch-thick uniformly flat rectangle. Place another 12-x-20-inch piece of paper over the dough. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into an approximately 10-x-18-x-1/4-inch-thick rectangle.
Remove and discard the top pieces of paper from both the rectangles of dough. Lightly brush the top surfaces of the rectangles with the egg white (you will use about half the egg white; discard whatever remains). Invert the chocolate dough rectangle onto the cherry dough rectangle. (Now both pieces of dough will be sandwiched between 2 pieces of paper.) Use a rolling pin to lightly roll a few times over the paper on the chocolate dough (this will bond the doughs). Remove the paper from the top of the bonded dough. Starting with the narrow side (the 10-inch-wide side) nearest you, roll the bonded dough rectangle away from you, using the paper beneath to help lift the dough over onto itself (this will create an interior spiral of the two doughs). Continue to roll the dough to the opposite end, making a tight roll. Now wrap the paper around the dough (from this point I will refer to the dough as a roll). wrap the roll with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very firm, about 2 hours.
Remove the roll from the refrigerator and place on a clean, dry cutting board.
3/8-inch-thick slices. Divide the slices among 3 nonstick baking sheets, 8 evenly spaced slices per sheet.
Place 1 baking sheet on the top rack and 1 baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and bake for 19 to 20 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to center halfway through the baking time (at that time also turn each sheet 180 degrees). The third baking sheet may be placed in another 325 degree F oven or held at room temperature and then baked after the first 2 sheets are removed from the oven. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool to room temperature on the baking sheets, about 20 minutes. Store the cooled cookies in a tightly sealed plastic container.
The Chef's Touch
Find cherry extract near the vanilla extract on the spice aisle at your supermarket.
Dawn's Chocolate Cherry whirly-Swirly Cookies will keep for 2 to 3 days at room temperature if stored in a tightly sealed plastic container. For long-term storage, up to several weeks, the cookies may be frozen. Freeze in a tightly sealed plastic container to prevent dehydration and permeation by freezer odors.

'Both goaltenders stood tall through three rounds of the shootout before Pominville finally lit the lamp with a nifty wrist shot. Miller, who made 30 saves, had a chance to win it for the Sabres ,but Marleau got a backhander to go. Roy, though, followed suit with a backhand tally, keeping the onus on Miller, who came up with the stop of Michalek to preserve the victory.'

Strikeforce Challengers 8: Bobby Voelker vs Roger Bowling
Bowling takes it via early accidental glove in eye stoppage judges' decision.
how it happened:
Round 1 - Bowling landing punches early as they exchange and then a quick takedown. Half guard now. Voelker is cut. They're back to standing and Bowling is landing some serious shots here. Bowling with a body kick, punch, slips a punch and lands another. Head kick lands now for Bowling. A couple uppercuts land for Voelker. Bowling is landing some bombs here and then gets a big takedown. Bowling does a little damage and the round comes to an end. That was a lot of power shots, 2 takedowns and a very good round for Bowling. 10-9 round maybe even 10-8.
Round 2 - Bowling drops him with a punch very early in the round and follows him to the ground. They're back to standing and again Bowling is just blowing him up. Again Bowling with the takedown. They go to standing and now Voelker with the takedown into side control but Bowling just stands up out of it. The round ends after another Bowling takedown and it's a 10-9 round for him.
Round 3 - They come out and are throwing huge shots with each man landing. Takedown from Voelker now. Bowling spins for an armbar and uses it as an escape. As they're standing the ref goes to separate them and something happens to Roger Bowling's eye. The doctor is checking it. The replay shows that it was as the ref was breaking them that Voelker's glove caught him in the eye. After a huge stall with the doctor the fight is stopped. With it being an accidental foul they should go to the scorecards here. Official Scorecards: 29-28 across the board for Roger Bowling. Roger Bowling wins by unanimous decision.

Amy of Wunderplant has created another beautiful posy, today based around some of Australia's native plants. Our house is surrounded by most of the plants in today's creation, I think I'll need to get creative this weekend! Thanks Amy! -Jenny x
The perfect native-inspired posy – created by Amy for a wedding last year
The native garden can provide a wealth of interesting floral options for a unique posy. It's true it takes a little more effort to see past the traditional muted greens and dusty grey foliage of much of the Native garden… but on closer inspection you'll discover decorative flowers buried deep amidst the foliage.
Becoming more common in our back gardens are the flowering gum shrubs, with their vibrant punches of pink, fiery orange and the angelic white. But it's the muted tonal greens and blue/grey of the Native garden foliage that I find both exciting and challenging.
Many Australian Natives are not 'Look at Me' flowers in the garden, yet they provide beautiful striking shapes and textures in their dormant pre flowering state. I think of Australian Natives as the true magician flowers – it always proves a surprise to me when the gum nuts burst open with such vivid colour!
Teaming native foliage with the little green pearl heads of garden-grown sedum is a perfect bouquet of contrasts. Though not truly an Australian native, the king protea is simply too enticing to not include in this arrangement!!

We have to stop running politics like a movie of the week.
I don't say gun violence is not important, but there is just not a good solution that attacks it without putting the 2nd Amendment in question in a basic way.
Politics and discussion is broken in this country, it is because of the consolidated media that controls what you hear. that is what needs to change so we can get some voices and ideas out that are not canned and spun just to support wars and resource grabs.
You think the number is small? Tell that the paretns. One kid killed by frantic uncntrollable gunholders is one kid too much. Mass shooting in a school or a public place by some loony person affects not lonly the relatives and friends. It affects all of us, since we let it happen again and again. Loosing children because of some misunderstood ad misinterpreted amendment is the confession of total societal failure.
People like you with no heart and compassion or even empathy are the proof of that.
I would expect the parents, or those who experience any tragedy to have an understandable and justifiable feelings, and the ultimate right to talk and express their grief and feelings ....
BUT, I would not expect them to be the most objective about it. Are the parents of men killed in war objective about the war? No, probably not, and probably tragedy pushes people where they would normally have a tendency to go anyway.
One kid killed by anything is not one kid too much, that is a nice emotional sentiment, but a world cannot yet, if it can ever be, run like that.
And, as tragic as it all is .... background checks and clip size limits are not going to do much about it.
And don't think you know anything about people like me, you are not even listening to me for all the pompous talk you spout thinking you know it all because you can get the sympathetic ears of the emotional.
In the words of one of them about the multiple shooting deaths, "This is the price we pay for freedom." Translated that means that your kid's death is what their freedom to buy any gun is worth.
You've made an excellent case for a large number of hastily-enacted laws to be repealed. Why not call for actually doing so?
Actually that was Osama Bin Laden's aim,. ..to BANKRUPT US.......And we obliged. We fell into a trap...more easily..because Bush/Cheney wanted to grab as much power as possible. To create: the Empiriel presidency. They sure did.
It cost us all a lot.. in money and diminished quality of our lives.
...more easily..because Bush/Cheney wanted to grab as much power as possible. To create: the Empiriel presidency.
You LOST me completely.
"Cheney and Bush were played by Obama like a violin. Every time he said jump, they leapt"????
What in the world are you talking about?? He did not come into the SENATE in... was it 06?... He was a freshman senator and sure did no have any influence. Please let us know HOW he made them jump????
Give me a few minutes to wash the egg of my face. The two names are to darn close and I was reading too fast.
Thanks for setting me straight nasyw
US and our allies. War is terrorism. The US has killed far more than Saddam, Osama, combined.
Please note well, Pres. Oh Bomb Ah.
One big problem with the hastily enacted laws theory. The Patriot Act was hastily passed, but had been proposed previously under the Clinton Administration.
While many look at Obama as continuing the Bush II administration, he has acted more like Bill Clinton; which is why I laugh at those folks that think that things would have just peachy keen if Hillary had been the Democratic candidate in 2008, or that anything would change if she runs and wins in 2016.
Whoever I support in 2016 will have a Repeal of the Patriot Act as a key policy goal.
Why do people constantly jump and run after these BS articles, yes there are lots of problems. so any activists that is for real would be talking clearly and concisely about prioritizing problems and brainstorming solutions, not just running around posting meaningless articles to get people arguing.
La, de, da, di, di,
The beat goes on,
La, di, da, di, da.
Chil-dren being shot right in the school,
Gang-land shootings right there in the street,
Stray bullets killing people in their homes,
Ac-ci-dental shootings on the rise,
Gun shows selling guns to any creep,
Manufacturer's profits on the rise,
And the beat goes on,
La, de, da, di, di,
The beat goes on,
La, di, da, di, da.
Take back your schoolyard. As was then and is now, the bullies are sorely outnumbered.
(Since Obama would never pass a background check is there an end to liberal Hypocrisy? This is an example of number crunching that is people number fudging and agenda filling in the blanks. The Second Amendment defends the First. The founders were not talking hunting rifles. They had just fought a nasty war and time to start to think. Liberal trash thinking will in then be a coffin to bury the Republic. Sorry but they are trading on the dead.)
If a nation lets his population go uneducated this is what we get.
The number for the domestic terrorist attacks are quoted for the years 2002 until 2011. OK? 2002.
9/11 was in 2001. OK
But now to the math: we include the 9/11 attack and the number of victims to the number above.
2977 dead
30 Americans dead due to domestic terrorist attacks (number cited in article)Bless all their souls.
Now we add these two numbers up:
2977 plus 30 = 3007.
Now we compare this number to the number of people murdered by firearms in the years from 2000 to 2011: (Bless their souls too)
Here is the number: 115,997
What do we see just by looking at the numbers? The last number is bigger. Six digits compared to 4 digits. One indicator. Here is also the difference in numbers:
112,990 more Americans got murdered by firearms than by domestic terrorist attacks in the years mentioned.
Hope this helps.
Most kid killers learned how to shoot from them.
Arguably, video game promoters in Silicon Valley and Hollywood--have far more American deaths to answer for than any branch of Al-Qaeda ever will.
Amenable mortalities took 1,110,000 since 2001. That's 370 times the number killed in the 9/11 attacks. Going further, using Selwick's numbers we find that amenable mortalities are responsible for 9.5 times the number killed by terrorist attacks and firearms during the same period.
Every year 33.6 times the number killed on 9/11 succumb to the terrorism of health care denial.
And just like the NRA, the medical-profits industry showers Washington, D.C. with millions and millions of dollars in order to purchase legislation guaranteeing continued ungodly profits for their shareholders and bloated salaries for CEOs.
The latter's solution is HR 676, "Expanded and Improved Medicare for All". We had a chance to enact it in 2010. It got derailed after too many people swallowed the lie about "a government takeover of health care". Evidence to the contrary abounds, but too many folks were and are willing to accept the cacophony of hyperbole from the right instead of doing some independent research.
Guns, health care, toxic crap imported from China...all will continue to threaten our health to one degree or another unless we make Congress act responsibly and ethically.
Uh....let's put it this way: The buck ultimately stops with us.
Do this analysis in terms of deaths in vehicle accidents. Mexican drug violence looks minor compared to the everyday risk of getting in a car in the US.
I am actually getting very insulted at the inference that because I might own a firearm or even a TYPE of firearm, then I am a social deviant. I attended an 800+ person pro-gun rally toady in Idaho, at the capitol building...the same place where I have carried a lot of water for many progressive causes. Just because I believe in single-payer HC, a state bank, ending wars of choice, stopping Wall Street, read Noam Chomsky etc, etc, DOES NOT mean that I am going to be a lock-step gun hater. I really hate being told to pick a side and accept EVERY position of that side. That's why I hate political parties and party apparatchiks.

Chaplain Blackman stands in front of a flag with a cross on it attached to a flag pole. In 1917 James C. Hughes was Captain of Battery C, 130th Field Artillery, Kansas National Guard. He was stationed at Camp Doniphan, Oklahoma, for field artillery training. Camp Doniphan is adjacent to Fort Sill which is just outside Lawton, Oklahoma. The 130th Field Artillery, Kansas National Guard, trained at both in 1917 and 1918 as part of the 35th Division. The 35th Division was constituted in 1917 as one of the 17 National Guard divisions authorized for service in World War I. The division was organized from the National Guard of Kansas and Missouri. The 35th included three machinegun battalions, three field artillery regiments, four infantry regiments, one engineer regiment and one signal battalion with a total strength of 26,373. James Clark Hughes was born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1888, and served in the Mexican Border Conflict, World War I, and World War II. He used an autographic camera to take pictures of friends, family, and places in the United States and Europe during World War I. During the latter conflict, he commanded a Philippine regiment (Filipino soldiers led by American officers), which surrendered in 1942 on the Bataan peninsula. Hughes spent the next 41 months in various Japanese P.O.W. camps. He was liberated by Russian forces at Camp Hoten, Manchuria, in 1945. Hughes died in 1964 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2017?
SlimFast Ingredients and Side Effects
Here are the ingredients to their creamy chocolate flavor:
Calcium Caseinate
Milk Protein Concentrate
Canola Oil
Cocoa processed with Alkali
Cellulose Gel
Natural and Artificial Flavors
Potassium Phosphate
Mono and Diglycerides
Potassium Citrate
Soy Lecithin
Sodium Citrate
Citric Acid

Vitamin A Palminate
Pyridoxine Hydrochloride
Thiamin Mononitrate
Chromium Chloride
Folic Acid
Sodium Molybdate
Potassium Iodide
Sodium Selenite
Sweetened with non- nutritive sweetener
Milk Protein Concentrate: A processed form of milk protein that loses its minerals and liquid. It's spray dried and treated as a cheap and longer lasting alternative to regular milk.
This ingredient has been used controversially, since around 70% of it is imported from countries with different safety standards.
The Food and Water Watch group has released a statement on this ingredients lack of safety:
"MPC'S are largely unregulated"
There are concerns of this ingredient being contaminated with melamine. This ingredient is considered harmful if swallowed, and it's also known to irritate the skin.
It's believed that pasteurization is able to kill contaminants; this is why the FDA allows this ingredient to be imported in. Though the Food and Water Watch Group argues this isn't enough, and that things like melamine are still found and cannot be pasteurized away.
Potassium Phosphate: Typically given as a medication to help balance out the amount of calcium that's in the body. It makes urine more acidic and is used to help prevent kidney stones.
Possible side effects may include:
- Headaches and dizziness.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Diarrhea.
Sucralose: A non-caloric artificial sweetener that is up to 1,000 times sweeter than average sucrose.
The Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health did a study on rats. They found many damaging effects including:
"increased fecal pH and enhanced the expression of P-gp"
"exerted numerous adverse effects, including reduction in beneficial microflora"
Damaged microflora can have serious health consequences, such as reduced immune function and increased inflammation. It's also known to cause symptoms of depression.
P-gp or glycoprotein is a found in the cells membrane, and it makes sure that any potential contaminants are filtered out of the body. So according to this study, sucralose is considered a toxic ingredient when in the body.
Carrageenan: Thickener and binder found in red seaweed.
A study on mice showed that this ingredient could cause tumors. The Cancer Letters published a clinical study that showed major damage:
"degraded carrageenan is carcinogenic to the colorectum of the rat"
This effect was seen in just small doses of this ingredient.
Artificial Flavors: A man made synthetic ingredient used to mimic the taste of real flavors. It can be made from many different foods and it's unknown where SlimFast sources their ingredient from.
This ingredient is a cheaper alternative to more wholesome and real additives.
Caramel Color: A food coloring made from treated carbohydrates.
It can be extracted from many common allergens, though it's unknown where SlimFast sources this ingredient from.
This is a highly processed ingredient that is specially treated in order to provide a color to drinks.
SlimFast Quality Of Ingredients
When judging a meal replacement shakes, it's important to look at the quality of the sweeteners and protein. The protein added to SlimFast comes from cheap sources in milk protein concentrate and calcium caseinate.
Milk protein concentrate in particular has been shown to be heavily processed and potentially contaminated.
The added sweeteners sucralose and a nonnutritive sweetener which is never explained are also added. Though sucralose provides just 1 gram of sugar to this mixture, it's been shown in studies to cause tumors. It also is treated as a toxin within the body, according to respected clinical studies.
There's also a total of 180 calories added, which is exceptionally higher than other meal replacements. When looking to lose weight, it's important to keep calories as low as possible in order to prevent weight gain.
Overall, the quality of ingredients is poor. There are artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, and cheap protein added. In this top 10 list are the very best meal replacements.
EDITOR'S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven meal replacement such as 18Shake for better results.
The Price and Quality of SlimFast
No official price is set by the manufacturers, but they do offer an interactive map showing the approved vendors.
An 8 pack of their chocolate sells for $14.16 on their Amazon.com page.
Since each shake is a full serving, around a month's supply or a 32 day serving would be $113.28, if taken twice a day.
This is expensive for what are a cheap protein, and a blend of artificial ingredients. Though the sugar is low and the protein and fiber is high, it's important to look at the ingredients to help determine the overall quality.
Too many artificial ingredients are added to suggest this would be a good brand to replace a meal.
There's also no listing of the amino acid profile, so it's unknown how well rounded the protein is. Amino acids are important since they provide support for many important body functions.
The company makes suggestions that up to 4 hours of appetite suppression are possible. They fail to offer any proof of these claims. It's unknown if this is backed by any real studies, or it it's a suggested number.
There was an issue with contamination in the past. The Associated Press reports:
"recalled all canned Slim Fast drinks because of the possibility of bacterial contamination"
"could cause diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting"
This 2009 recall was approved for all cans of SlimFast, and it's unknown exactly how this contamination was started. The manufacturers failed to provide any evidence that this issue wouldn't happen again.
Business of SlimFast
Information on the company practices aren't explained on the official website.
The company name is also called SlimFast. Here is their listed contact information:
Phone Number: (800) 754-6327
There are currently a total of 39 negative reviews against the company on their Consumer Affairs listing. This is due to their changed formula which sells for more but it's offered in smaller portions. Also, people were disappointed with the lack of customer support.
EDITOR'S TIP: For the best results with meal replacement shakes diet our experts recommend to use it at least 5 months. Save your money buying a few bags of meal replacement product.
Customer Opinions of SlimFast
Many reviews are available online, here's what a few customers have had to say:
"my stomach began to get bigger"
"seems like it put weight on me"
"tastes like your generic, low-calorie protein shale"
"didn't find this had the "four hour hunger control" it claims to have"
People mentioned how the taste was terribly artificial, and that it was hard to drink each bottle.
Weight loss was also missing for some customers, while others added how they actually gained weight even with diet and exercise.
Some side effects were also listed including nausea and ill feelings.
Appetite suppression was also lacking. For many customers, there was a lack of any benefits in drinking these shakes. The best options for weight loss are found in this top 10 list of meal replacements.
Conclusion - Does SlimFast Work?
When making a decision on SlimFast, it's important to look past the supplements facts label. Though this shake does have a high amount of protein and fiber, as well as low sugar and lots of vitamins and minerals, it's what's truly inside what counts.
This shake has a combination of artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, and a high amount of calories which might make weight loss harder. That's why so many customers have mentioned that they not only failed to lose weight, but some actually increased in size.
This shake also uses a cheap protein source, with ingredients like sucralose which have been shown to cause tumors in clinical studies. Much better solutions exists which are made only with all natural and wholesome ingredients.
The very best meal replacement of 2016 offering all the necessary criteria for weight loss is 18Shake. This meal replacement has a high quality mixture of whey protein which is easy to digest, and well balanced in amino acids. It's also made with a high amount of fiber, and low sugar. That's why so many users have mentioned it's a great solution for weight loss. You can find these impressive testimonials on their official website.
18Shake also has no binders, fillers, or artificial ingredients. All you get is a high quality formula made to help suppress appetite and increase weight loss. It's even backed by a great 30 day money back guarantee. That's why so many users keep coming back to this comprehensive meal replacement.

Why do the meal replacement bars have half the sugar then the shakes do!!! Slimfast Diet
I have been exercising at least 30 mins a day for abou a week and decided I would like to cut down on my food and start a diet. The slim fast was recommended a lot by people that I know and just by exercising a week I have lost 6 pounds! Doesn't show at all but it does make a massive difference in the end. Today is my first day of slim fast and so far I love it. I continue to use this diet and exercise regularly everyday to push myself abit more. Would recommend exercising as it helps lose more
I tried the Slim Fast diet for about a month and lost about three pounds. The shakes are delicious, but I didn't enjoy drinking them. It became monotonous. The meal bars were disgusting, eating candy bars constantly. The diet felt unhealthy, with all the chocolate and sugar. I was hungry a lot, too, especially in the evening after my "sensible dinner". I have containers of Slim Fast from this diet, partially used. My daughter enjoyed putting them with whole milk and microwaving it.
I just mixed the vanilla shake mix with 1 cup of skim milk, 1/2 cup pf canned pumpkin (40 calories!) and 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning. Yummy, like pumpkin pie in a glass!
I started on 2-22-12 and I've already lost 5 lbs :-) Somedays I feel hungrey but I just drink water... It really works and I dont even exercise!
I love Slimfast! I don't follow the whole program for a couple of reasons: first I get really hungry in the morning so I need take some of the calories allowed in a day and have them at breakfast. Second, I live alone so making the dinners they recommened would result in too many servings for me. This is how I made the plan work for me: the night before I'd take one of those reusable iced coffee cups from Starbucks and I'd add a cup of milk, a scoop of Vanilla SF powder, a spoonful of instant coffee and some water. Every week or two I'd fill one of those 8 cup Glad containers with berries (frozen or fresh), then I'd make up some jello and with one envelope of Knox and add it to the berries and refrigerate. The gelatine protects the berries from air and (I have found) makes them last longer in ready to eat form. You get some sugar or sweetner in the jello, but it's not much. So, for breakfast I'd have a just over half a cup of the berry gelitine salad, and a serving of whole grains like toast or oatmeal. Then I'd grab my shake and head to work. I sip on the shake all morning whenever I'm hungry. My co-workers get so jealous because it looks like I went to Starbucks. Lunch is a SF bar with an pre-sliced apple and a snack bag of raw veggies, and water. Afternoon snack (if I need it) is any veggies I didn't finish and a maybe a 100 cal granola bar. Dinner is about 350 cal. I'll have a frozen entree or something from a cookbook that says it's 350 cal or less per serving. I also have a big tossed salad with precious little dressing (40 cal or less) and an orange veg if I haven't already had one that day (for vit A). Dessert is a cup of tea with one sugar cube (just 19 cal). Bedtime snack (without it I won't sleep) is about 1/2 cup of super low cal yogurt, 1/3 cup of that very high fiber cereal that looks like rabbit feed, and a banana. Between dinner and snack is work out. I did 20-30 minutes of cardio and weight lifting every other day. That way I was loosing a pound or two a week. It's kind fo expensive but sometimes SF goes on half price at Wal-Mart and I stock up.
I like this diet it really works if you stick to it. I am just starting today for the 5th time. it is mind over matter. My friend did this for 3 months and went from a size 14/16 to a size 4 and in weight it was 185-120. The key is join www.slimfast.com it is free and do what it says and DON'T cheat.
i been on it for two weeks and i have lost 7 lbs. i have 13 more to go. my fav is the creamy chocolate. i have 2 shakes aday... one for bk, wait 2hrs eat a banana , than wait 2hrs and have another shake, than ill have greek yogurt, than for dinner i eat fiber one cereal with almond breeze or 2 boiled eggs with toast or peanut butter sandwich and like an apple.
l love the Slin Fast 321 diet. l have lo lost 44 pounds in six weeks!!
Lost 5 pounds in just one week!
Bikini body in less than two months, here i come! <3
your GOING to be hungry when you start a healthy eating program for the first couple of days or weeks. Your body is use to you eating all the time, or eating large quantities, so when you don't supply, it will demand. your body just has to learn, it's not gonna get it. your tummy will shrink in a few days or weeks.
This seems to work for me, but I do the low carb/low sugar variety now that I'm over 40. Also, the amount of aspartame in a shake is the same as that of a diet soda. However, aspartame has recently been taken of the carcinogen list, but if you have PKU, then of course, avoid it. But also, most ADHD and ADD medications have Aspartame in them as well, so I'm kind of dumb-founded as to why there is such a ruckus.
The key to dieting is to burn more calories than you eat...sticking to a diet is all about commitment. if you eat a low- cal breakfast, lunch, and dinner and excercise after you eat dinner. You will lose weight. Also setting a time when you are going to stop eating for the day like 7pm or 8 pm works!
I lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks!
I'm on day 2. Not felt hungry yet because of all the snacks and water. Before I would skip breakfast, starve for hours then stuff my face until my buttons burst. This is teaching me to eat regularly and get into the habit of breakfast. If I lose weight along the way then great! :)
The chocolate shake is so thick and yummy. Cereal meal bars are slightly expensive but when put into the context of how much I would spend on a mac donalds meal, it's really not that bad. Only downside which doesn't bother me, but I know it would for others, is a little extra gas. He he...
Slim-fast has survived for a reason! I realy shouldn't, but I'm addicted to Coffee, so I think if I laid off the coffee I may be able to lose more weight. I do drink my water every day. I try for at least 32 oz of pure water per day along with natural fruit juices and my coffee.
I tried one week to go without my coffee, my head just hurt too bad. I had to run back to it like a kid missing their blankie
Does anybody know what is the amount of aspartame they put in the sakes if any? is any of the products aspartame free? Iread the label but it does not say anything. But the website tells you that they use aspartame which is a terrible poison, that worries me.
I use it. I love it.
I'm on day 3 i drink the water and snacks are fruits. Headaches started today. I exercise everyday for 30 min on the eliptical but still haven't lost anyweight at all
As with any diet you can't just go back to eating fast food. I see people who lose the weight then stop exercising regularly. Or they lose the weight & then are at the cheesecake factory pigging out. Of course you gained it back. I am on day 2. I know when I complete this I will have to stick with something like 2 boiled eggs for breakfast, a grilled cheese & salad for lunch, & skinless chicken breast for dinner. It's common sense. Just because you lose the weight doesn't mean you can go back to eating poorly.
I have the strawberry & creme shake & the chocolate shake. I love them & I am not one for chocolate either. I can't even drink a whole one. I have to force myself to finish it on my breaks at work. I am not using the Slim Fast protein bars. I am using the kellogg's protein bars& I eat 2 a day instead of 3. Then a sensible dinner.
I did miss the chewing action today so I replaced 1 bar with 2 hard boiled eggs. It did the trick for me.
What more important? being healthy or eating stuff mushrooms & a 28 ribeye steak. Now in the future if i want to pig out I will do it on the weekend & I will skip 1 shake & 1 protein bar. ( 400 calories ). When I go out I will put 1/2 in a box & leave it at the resturant ( don't take it home!! ) & eat a 900 calorie meal. That way I can get some of the food I like without going over my calorie intake.
