What a BS. "Law Firm" wants a piece of pie. Will spend money and get nothing. Shareholders rights? Sure, any shareholder who owns ILMN is happy and privileged to own the market leader........
ZACK's just changed their recommendation to hold.
If anything, illumina is under-valued. This company is going to grow much bigger as it expands its business model into bio-informatic analysis, synthetic DNA analysis and production. It may retreat, at times, but its upward trajectory will win the day.
I have heard rumors that the ilmn board of directors are considering a 5:, or 4:1 stock split because they anticipate, that without such a split, the ilumina price per share may reach $700 to $1000 in the not too distant future. They want to get out ahead of the curve as they a expand ilmn's business model.
after 2:1 split after next ER. Sorry shorts, market leader and "destined for glory". True, it will not be a straight road, little bumps here and there ( ISIS, Ukraine, Greece ). Next target 230-250......
got a link?
ilmn is still a great company. It is just severely over-valued. LOok to re-enter at $130.
The slide to below $200 has started. Get out and get SHORT.
The market may be $ 20 billion in five years but never 150. Remember, this growth comes from clinical not research customers. Ever talked to your physician or a doc at the hospital? How often does he apply new methods? And if he does, how long does it take to validate everything and get FDA approval? ILMN will get most of these markets but not that fast.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I would just like to emphasize that your post didn't exist before you posted it
He predicted sell-off of the market, deal or no deal with Greece, not specifically ILMN or TMO. Sorry for the confusion.
Did he predict a sell off of ILMN TMO, the sector as a whole or the market in general? Sorry for asking....I tend not to watch Cramer....he's too antsy and he definitely looks shady.......spin doc! Thx in advance.
In early May, one investor asked him about ILMN when it was 192-194. Jim said TMO is cheaper and better value. Now could anyone check the performance of this two stocks in the last two months?
Last Friday, Jim predict big sell-off this week. However, Monday and Tuesday all went up nicely.
I think it is about time to shut down his channel.
Agreed, "ILMN" Is Destined for Greatness!!!! It, Is headed higher, How High We Don't
Know That Yet, But Great Companies, Tend To Go Higher Then, We All Think!!!!!!!
Next target 230-250, unless they do the split...
ZACKS just downgraded illumina. Heed this warning. Many Agenus message board members laughed when I brought ZACKS sell recommendation of AGEN to the fore. Within two days Agenus tumbled 25%. Get out of this bloated illumina behemoth while there is still time. Consider yourself WARNED.
"MIT" Today Named ILLUMINA MIT'S 2015 Smartest company!!! Google it
As it is a, very impressive, interesting Article!!!!!!! ILMN, IS A Great company, and the next
3 YEARS, Will Bring Awesome innovation, And EARNINGS, For ILLUMINA INC,,
And you did not exist before this post........
Nobody really knows how big the NGS market in diagnostics is because this market did not exist before and is only developing now, pushed by the technology.

Meet Karl Ove Knausgaard, the literary world's latest hero
Three reasons why you should read this man's book: It's the literary sensation of the year, reinventing the autobiographical novel; half his family no longer speaks to him because of it; one reader hated it so much he started a fire in a bookshop in protest. Hermione Eyre travels to Sweden to meet Karl Ove Knausgaard, the reclusive author behind this summer's must-read.
Published: 25 July 2014
Updated: 11:22, 25 July 2014
Ystad, on the south coast of Sweden. Seagulls call; wheatfields stretch inland. Whizzing past on the train, I am on my way to interview the latest Scandinavian sensation, the cult literary hero and international bestseller Karl Ove Knausgaard. My Struggle, his compulsive, self-eviscerating six-volume autobiographical novel, which Zadie Smith famously needs 'like crack', was a publishing phenomenon in Norway, unfolding 'live', almost in real-time; the English-speaking world is just catching up with the translation of volume three, Boyhood Island. It's essential summer reading, worth starting with volume one, A Death in the Family, a car-crash confessional told with Proustian poise.
Waiting on the platform, tall and conspicuous, wearing round Ray-Bans, is Karl Ove, 45. I feel I can drop the Knausgaard. I already know him, don't I? I know he sometimes sleepwalks, stamping on the fox he believes has got inside his duvet. I know about the births of his children, the death of his father. I know that, lovelorn, he slashed his face with a razor. I know he doesn't enjoy interviews ('What a load of shite this is,' he thinks during one) and that flattery makes him sick: 'There is no worse fate than praise.'
But when I meet him, he is a stranger: reticent, polite, guarded. His written voice has a stern intensity, but in person he is softer, his movements are slow and graceful, and he drives carefully, only recently having passed his test. His silver hair whips in the wind.
'There is an ancient stone circle by the sea here,' he says. 'You stand there and you can see 360 degrees, just sea and sky.' I imagine him there, fulfilling his 'intense need' for solitude. 'The stone circle is small,' he explains. 'A bit like This is Spinal Tap, the miniature Stonehenge.' He says 'Tap' with a clipped accent, like 'top'. We laugh, me with relief. I thought he had a sense of humour — how else could you call your largely mundane personal experiences My Struggle? — but his laughter is freer than I expected. As we pass his local fire station he says deadpan: 'They invited me to join them. To dress up and help put out fires. Maybe I should. It might help me to do some male bonding.'
Living in Sweden is a relief after the glare of attention in Norway, where 450,000 copies have sold so far — one for every nine adults in the country. 'Here, people know who I am, but they don't care. In Norway, people are looking at me, pretending not to look, waving from the other side of the road, calling out… The thrill is that it's a book that is causing all this fuss.'
It was condemned when it first came out. 'As something almost demonic, a ruthless, heartless book,' he says. Someone even set fire to the 'K' section of a bookshop in Malmö. 'That was really funny,' he exclaims. 'I told my children and they didn't like the sound of it, and my wife was concerned there was a maniac about, but I thought it was really fantastic. The best part was his motivation. He told the police: "This is the baddest novel ever!" '
And so the buzz began. 'Three things helped,' he says. 'The first was the title.' (In Norwegian My Struggle, Min Kamp, was a shockingly overt reference to Hitler.) 'The second, that someone [his father's family] was furious about it and didn't want it to be published. And thirdly, the ongoing thing, which meant everyone knew I was writing at that moment, with another book about to come out. But none of this was intentional. It's not systematic. I wrote 1,200 pages, then I thought: "This could be published. Here is a chance to do something… different." You have some possibilities with perspective and ages on a big canvas that you don't on a little one.'
His first wife Tonje, a journalist, made a radio programme, Tonje's Story, in which she said he had made a Faustian pact with fame, and revealed that it was only by reading the book that she found out about how he met his new wife, the Swedish author Linda Boström, before he and Tonje were even divorced. As for his father's side of the family: 'We are still not talking,' he says. 'They didn't like my first novel [A Time for Everything] and that was about angels, a work of fiction! No wonder they couldn't cope with what was to come.' He pauses. His eyes are very pale and clear. 'It is a terrible thing to have a writer in the family.'
We have now arrived at his home, a whitewashed cottage set round three sides of a courtyard, with a beautiful garden, half-wild and sun-dappled. His children Vanja, ten, Heidi, eight, and John, six, are coming and going, jumping on the trampoline, climbing trees. He kisses his six-month-old daughter Anne and goes to make us coffee.
Karl Ove in the novels is 'dragged down' by domesticity; there is a hilarious set piece in volume two, A Man in Love, in which he attends a 'humiliating and degrading' Rhythm Time class with his eldest daughter Vanja, then an infant. 'My own deep voice sounded like an affliction in the choir of high-pitched women's voices… Twelve times we sang "Hi" to our friend before all the children had been named and we could move on… I swayed from side to side thinking this must be what hell was like.' Full of lustful thoughts for the mothers, he leaves suppressing a primal scream, a Viking trapped in a society he calls 'feminised'.
Since writing this, he has mellowed, acclimatised. 'Now I think it's brilliant to be with the kids, and I think it's good for a man to be close to his children, but it takes a while to get into this role. Many years, in fact. Fatherhood is a shock,' he says, lighting one of an endless succession of Chesterfields. 'You didn't know what was coming and now everything has changed. Our generation thinks: what is this insult to our freedom? I just described how it feels. Everything you are as a man is taken away from you. But you can't talk about this in public and I think a lot of men read this and related to it. I am interested in the difference between how things are supposed to be and how they really are.'
Praise for the novels began to pour forth. 'Then we got money, and it scared me. We never had any money before, and our lives were OK, there were things we couldn't do, but we were fine. I never cared. When money came, I didn't know what to do with it. I said to Linda, maybe we should give it away to Greenpeace or something, because it came from an unethical project. She just looked at me and said, "No." ' He smiles. The swifts call overhead. 'Then we bought this place.'
His library and study are untidy ('It's really terrible') but the books look cherished, stowed tightly on shelves. Beside his desk is a comically full ash-tray, the fullest I have ever seen. 'The other day I smoked 60. It just happened. The day after, I thought a bit about death. I usually feel like I'm immortal. I just can't imagine myself dead. But I'm 45, I have a baby daughter, I have to try… to stop,' he says.
Would therapy help? 'I would rather shoot myself than have therapy. And I don't want anyone to touch my back, to give me a massage. No way, never. I don't want to cross that line. It's part of growing up in Norway in the 1970s; you don't cry and you don't complain. I read Freud and I'm interested in the process, but I don't want to do it. Sometimes you want to cling to whatever's wrong with you. Maybe your flaws and shortcomings are something you take advantage of in your writing. I'm a destructive person. Not very, but I have that in me, and for me it's a healing thing to write. It'll take me a year to get there and then I'll have two days of very joyful writing, where it's extremely satisfying. It's like a drug when I can access the source I can only use for writing. Then when you stop writing, the destruction is back again.'
My Struggle runs to 3,600 pages. 'I can write 100 pages and feel I've not written anything substantial. I like the sensation when you're reading a novel of it being a place you can go to, with many rooms. When I was a teen I read Tolkien and loved that it was so long.' He has learned to hold some things back — 'to protect Linda'. A writer of poetry and short stories, she has been hospitalised in the past for manic depression. 'She hasn't read all the books... It's too much. I try to minimise it.' In the writing or in what he asks her to read? 'Both. Just to leave her as untroubled as possible. And to protect myself, too. Because it's so… self-occupied, is that the word? Narcissistic. And that really f***s with your identity.'
The later books, as yet untranslated into English, segue into politics. 'I wrote about Hitler when he hadn't done anything wrong yet. He was an artist and he was quite good. I know because I tried to paint. It's hard…' Why the shift in direction? 'The big story of our time is how German culture, so exciting and powerful, with so many great writers and composers, came in one generation to be barbaric and almost destroy the world.'
His childhood in nature, as depicted in Boyhood Island, is something he wanted to give his children. 'But everything has changed. In the winter I went back to a place where we all used to skate. It was empty. They said, "Everyone is inside playing computer games." ' Scandinavia is changing fast, too. 'In Malmö, 42 per cent of people were born outside Sweden. It's a massive change in culture. I'm interested in place, identity, localism. It's like a big social experiment. You have to invest a lot to make immigration work. In Sweden they don't want to admit that it might be problematic and difficult because if you talk about it, you are a bad person, evil.'
Trapped between life and art, trying to be good and honest at the same time, Knausgaard's natural position is struggle. He is currently writing essays on art and football ('as easy as eating, as running'), but knows he will eventually return to fiction. 'I said no more fiction, but I can't think of anything else I want to do. It's hard. To sit down and write from scratch, it takes three years before you can even get started...' His son John recently said he wanted to be a writer. 'Why? He said, "Because you can do it without too much effort. It's an easy thing to do." Ha!' The ash falls from his cigarette, the sun fades behind a cloud, and I leave Knausgaard with his intimate thoughts, shared by a million readers.

Female Key Opinion Leaders Receive Smaller Percentage of Research Funding, Finds Recent Cleveland Clinic Study
By Sarah Ray,
Senior Research Analyst
Over the past few years, the industry has paid close attention to the Sunshine Act's physician payment reporting requirements. Ideally, publication of payment data will usher in a new era of transparency regarding how key opinion leaders (KOLs) interact with life science teams. However, while many healthcare consumers may welcome Sunshine Act reporting, some physicians and industry groups remain apprehensive that consumers will take financial information out of context. Moreover, previously released physician payment data already demonstrates that individuals may not always receive equivalent compensation for the same types of work. Continue reading

We are often told that Christianity is steadily losing its grip on our national life. But while that might be true for many denominations, the outlook for one - the Catholic Church - is actually rather bright.
There are now believed to be more regular Catholic churchgoers than Anglicans, their ranks swelled by immigration from Central Europe in recent years. Indeed, some estimates put Roman Catholicism on course to be the dominant religion in Britain for the first time since the Reformation. This is a church considering how to manage expansion, not decline.
And now, in Vincent Nichols, it has a leader who promises to project the church's grass roots strength more fully into public life. The outgoing Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, was not a particularly effective leader of English and Welsh Catholics. For all his warmth, he was never able to fill the gap left in national life by the death of Cardinal Basil Hume.
But Archbishop Nichols promises to be much more dynamic. His effective political campaign in 2006 against Government plans to control the intake of Catholic faith schools, in which he marshalled the support of parents in marginal constituencies, is a taste of what is to come. This is one clerical voice the political establishment will not be able to ignore.
But how precisely will Archbishop Nichols choose to exert this influence? His speech today criticising proposals to allow the screening of adverts for abortion services on television indicates that he will be just as socially conservative as any of his predecessors on issues of embryonic stem cell research, homosexuality and female reproduction.
Such a focus would naturally depress liberals. As the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, argued this week, the concerns of the leadership of the Roman Catholic Church, particularly on homosexuality, do not reflect the concerns of its followers.
It is hard to believe, for instance, that many Catholics felt the Easter sermon two years ago by Cardinal Keith O'Brien, Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh, calling Scotland's abortion rate the equivalent of "two Dunblane massacres a day" was the image of their faith they wanted projected to wider society. Yet it is worth noting that, his views on reproduction apart, Archbishop Nichols is socially progressive. He had a guiding hand in the production of Common Good in 1996, a manifesto from Catholic bishops repudiating the materialistic excesses of the Thatcher era.
And he has long argued that the Catholic Church cannot be concerned only with its own well-being. This is welcome because the Catholic Church has a great deal to offer wider society. Even liberal secularists must acknowledge the welcome the church has extended to immigrant groups and its consistent championing of anti-racism. The values of charity and compassion espoused by the church are also pertinent, especially in a time of recession. Many Catholic churches around the country have been used as unofficial job centres and social welfare offices in recent years. That is the sort of pastoral care many Britons are crying out for today.
As long as it projects a generous spirit, and does not light the fires of division, there is no reason why the Catholic Church of England and Wales should not continue to buck the trend of gradual Christian decline.

A Steady Rain, the play that will be produced on Broadway this Fall, is going to soon become a movie too. The two-person play is already getting an incredible amount of attention due to the fact that the Broadway production will star major Hollywood stars Hugh Jackman (X-Men, Wolverine, Australia, Broadway's The Boy From Oz) and Daniel Craig (James Bond in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace). Playwright Keith Huff, who is currently working on writing the screenplay adaptation of his own play, sold the film rights for A Steady Rain to the same producers who are behind the upcoming Broadway production. Whether or not Jackman and Craig will also star in the motion picture version has not been determined yet, but it just so happens that one of those producers is Barbara Broccoli, who is a longtime producer of the James Bond 007 movies.

Grounds are beautiful
Rooms are old and carpets were stained and dirty. The room didn't smell fresh and clean.
Beautiful grounds! The outdoor pool/patio looked fabulous as well but we didn't get to enjoy it as thew weather was a little cool.
Rooms were a little worn, you can tell that they made an effort to update recently but if you looked closer you can tell that the remodels/cosmetic improvements were not done well and attention to detail was not there. There was not a whole lot of insulation between rooms as you could hear others in room next to you pretty clearly.
They let myself and my son check in early instead of having to wait till 2pm...Very professional
Right off the highway, cheapest hotel in the area, waffles
Semen on the blanket, dirty floors, smelled like smoke everywhere, not much variety at breakfast, and the heater and air didn't work very well.
Great staff
The breakfast was better than what you usually get. There was a lot of variety. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable - we didn't get backaches. I would definately stay there again!
The snow! We are from Florida and it was cold outside the hotel - nice and warm inside though.
I liked how October was a good time to go without a lot of people and lines, but I was disappointed at the end of the stay when we accidentally turned in our room keys (so we thought) and I handed the lady our rechargable game cards instead that look VERY similar. Our game cards already had points on them from us spending $ and we were just about to trade them in before we left and I quickly realized I mixed them up and went back and the lady at the desk said sorry you're out of luck we threw the cards in a bin and I don't know which one were yours. No apology or anything. So, my kids were pretty bummed they could not get a prize and I was disappointed that we played all those games, racked in a lot of points and then lost out. I will be emailing the resort. Also, the lady at the desk and the guy in the game room said this happens all the time so, you'd think they'd fix it by now. On the other hand, I loved the Restaurant Brisaggo at the Geneva Resort right down the road. Delicious. Pricey, but worth it. The rooms were spacious and we got to hear all the screams coming from the haunted hayrides-looked pretty creepy! FYI anyone visiting Lake Geneva, they stop selling alcohol at 9pm. We stopped at a Walmart to pick something up and didn't realize this coming from Chicago that we were out of luck for the night. Overall, it was a nice trip. I might go back depending on the reply I get from the resort after I email them.
My wife & I visited TRL&W so we could determine if this destination would be good for our tribe (children/spouses, grandchildren & us) to visit after Christmas in-lieu of buying presents for everyone. We all figured spending time together at a kid fun/friendly place would be really cool.
Guess what? The place is great & we'll be planning our trip there.
Easy to get to. Room had all amenities I needed. Close to the ultimate location I needed to get to.
The manager was the person behind the desk and checked us in. He was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and appropriate for the amount of money spent on the room. Pool was nice for kids who can't swim yet. Would stay again
Good location near the square
Hard to see entrance from the highway
It was awesome! Bed was comfy and hot tub was amazing.
It was conveniently located to the activities for which we were in town.
The a/c made so much noise that it was impossible to sleep with it on, but too hot to sleep without it. There was no desk or chair....only a second small coffee table, no ironing board, no hair dryer, no cord on the phone to call the front desk.
We enjoyed our stay the staff and hotel were nice best we've stayed at in the area.
Hallway smelled like smoke
Thought the rooms were outdated. Bathrooms small. Tub ran slow.
Friendly staff. Full kitchen. Close to everything. Great restaurant attached.nice bathroom
Newer paint and fresher bedspread.
We stay at the Cove a lot. Great staff

GLOBAL FOUNDRIES JUST announced a major win by signing Qualcomm to a fab contract. If anyone was waiting to see if Global Foundries had what it took to compete for the best, they now have their answer.
GloFo and Qualcomm have tied up on parts for CDMA2000, WCDMA and 4G/LTE on the phone side, and somewhat unspecified smartbook chips, likely Snapdragon. The collaboration starts on the 40nm node and extends to 28nm for the time being. GloFo will be starting the process by accepting designs from Qualcomm this year.
In addition to fabbing the chips, the two will be tying up on advanced packaging technologies, 3D packaging, and die and substrate interaction research. If you don't think this is important, just ask Nvidia why it is paying out hundreds of millions of dollars to OEMs for 'no reason'.
In any case, this looks like the big one for Global Foundries. STMicro was a good customer, but Qualcomm is one of the big boys. If it has the confidence to go with GloFo, the fab can likely handle anyone that knocks on its door. Add in the cutting edge technologies that Qualcomm needs, and this means both sides will be pushing the other to do the (nearly) impossible.S|A

Pomegranate Molasses-Glazed Carrots with Pistachios
From EatingWell: November/December 2013
In this glazed carrot recipe, instead of a traditional sugar glaze, we glaze spiced carrots with a combination of sweet-tart pomegranate molasses and honey. A touch of butter and a sprinkling of pistachios make them a decadent yet simple vegetable side dish for any meal.
Makes: 8 servings, 1/2 cup each
Serving Size: 1/2 cup
Active Time:
Total Time:
Nutrition Profile
Low calorie | Low carbohydrate | High fiber | Low saturated fat | Low cholesterol | Low sodium | Heart healthy | Healthy weight | Diabetes appropriate | Gluten free |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and diagonally sliced (1/4-inch)
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses (see Tip)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup chopped salted pistachios
- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
- Combine carrots, water, pomegranate molasses, honey, butter, cinnamon and salt in a large skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and cook until the carrots are just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid is a syrupy glaze, 6 to 8 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in pistachios and chives. Serve warm.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Keep warm in a 225°F oven for up to 30 minutes.
- Tip: Pomegranate molasses has a bright, tangy flavor. (Don't confuse it with grenadine syrup, which contains little or no pomegranate juice.) Find it in Middle Eastern markets and some large supermarkets near the vinegar or molasses. To make your own: Simmer 4 cups pomegranate juice, uncovered, in a medium nonreactive saucepan over medium heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 45 to 50 minutes. (Do not let the syrup reduce too much or it will darken and become very sticky.) Makes about 1/2 cup. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Details : Click hereFinnair Steps Up China Frequencies:
More Flights to Guangzhou and Shanghai; Non-Stop to Hong Kong
Hong Kong flights will be non-stop as of mid-May, omitting the current
landing at Bangkok. The non-stop service continues three times a week
until July, when it will be increased to four times a week until the
end of October.
There is a great demand in the Hong Kong market especially during the
summer, and in both directions, says Petteri Kostermaa, Vice President,
Network Strategies and Management. The journey time to Hong Kong is
reduced by over four hours with non-stop flights. Moreover, passengers
can connect smoothly between Hong Kongs modern and award-winning airport
and other destinations in mainland China and south-east Asia. Hong Kong
is a favourite tourist destination, with a number of new attractions such
as Hong Kong Disneyland and AsiaWorld-Expo.

"I am losing precious days. I am degenerating into a machine for making money. I am learning nothing in this trivial world of men. I must break away and get out into the mountains to learn the news." John Muir Every now and then a word creeps into our language and begins to replicate like […]
Life is short, the Art is long, opportunity fleeting, experience delusive, judgment difficult.
In 1983, American psychologist Howard Gardner famously speculated that people have more than on kind of intelligence. In his classic book, Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, Gardner identified 7 forms of intelligence: musical–rhythmic, visual–spatial, verbal–linguistic, logical–mathematical, bodily–kinesthetic, interpersonal, and naturalistic. He later suggested that existential and moral intelligence might also make the list.
Gardener's theory was interesting in its own right, but it also gives us a platform for further speculation. Might there be other forms of intelligence that go beyond Gardner's original list? In particular, health advocates might be inclined to wonder if there's such a thing as lifestyle intelligence or lifestyle IQ. Many of us have been coming to grips with public health problems of the modern age: lifestyle disease and diseased lifestyles are epidemic. And if there's such a thing as lifestyle intelligence, we might even imagine that some of our friends and colleagues are lifestyle geniuses while others are lifestyle bozos.
Of course, we are quick to jump to cartoons. Many of us will simply assume that the lifestyle genius eats all the right foods, does all the right exercises, follows all the best stress-relieving practices and lives according to the latest discoveries of health science. The lifestyle bozo on the other hand, eats a diet of junk food, lays around on the couch for months at a time, stresses about everything and generally ignores the state of his body. But as we'll see, it's not so simple. The fundamental problem of human experience and lifestyle is that the world moves. Seasons change, people come and go, jobs change, bodies transform, values and priorities shift. Our lives are intrinsically chaotic; no person inhabits the same river twice. This is why rigid formulas and recipes for healthy living tend to be ineffective, impractical and even irrelevant. This is also why lifestyle intelligence – the application of wisdom and judgment in the face of dynamic conditions – is such a vital aptitude.
With this in mind, consider the lives of two characters. On the one hand, Bob is a lifestyle bozo. He happens to be in pretty good shape at the moment; he's muscular and fit, but as you'll see, his condition is not sustainable. Bob is obsessive about his sports, his health and his fitness. He works out on a precisely periodized schedule, maximized and optimized to his individual chronobiology and epigenetics. He researches, plans and organizes every detail of his exercise and diet regimen. He counts his miles, his reps, his laps, his carbs and his protein. He's got a before-workout meal and an after-workout meal. He checks his heart rate several times each day, logs his sleep and tracks it all with a FitBit. He makes damn sure that nothing interferes with his optimized way of life. For Bob, it's all about sticking with Plan A.
For Bob, all goes well until his idealized, utopian program comes into contact with the dynamism of real world. When conditions threaten his perfect plan, Bob becomes stressed, angry, unhappy and boorish. He tries to force conditions back into whatever box he thinks they belong. In the process, he creates friction between himself and the world. He just can't cope with any kind of sub-optimal training environment or sub-optimal nutritional conditions. He's highly adapted to his training regimen, but he's not adaptable to change. His body may well be strong, but his lifestyle is brittle, fragile and maladaptive. His long-term prognosis is not good.
In contrast, Julie is a lifestyle genius. She's active and she cares about her health, but she cares about other things too. She knows the basic fundamentals of health, diet and exercise, but she knows that life is messy and that compromise is essential. In practice, Julie is a lifestyle opportunist. She makes good choices and prefers the healthy path, but she's not surprised when circumstances change. Instead of resisting conditions, she makes the most of what's she's got. For diet and nutrition, she follows an 80-20 program. That is, she's attentive to high-quality food 80% of the time, but she's not a zealot about it. She favors nutritious foods, but she's not about to let a little bit of gluten ruin her day either.
Likewise, if she misses a workout, it's not a catastrophe. She trusts her body to take care of itself. If a class is cancelled or it rains on her outdoor workout, she finds some other kind of movement to keep her body happy. In general, Julie has a great relationship with ambiguity and has no problem with Plan B or C or D. Frustrations and complications are not enemies to be vanquished; they are the very stuff of life. She's fluid.
Julie's lifestyle intelligence and adaptability reminds us of a practice called bricolage. This French word refers to the act of creating from a diverse range of available things. The bricoler isn't locked in to any one set of materials, tools or methods. Rather, she uses whatever she's got on hand to create the effect she's looking for. Scraps of this or that, spare parts, stray bits of material, odd moments in time; it's all potentially useful. Instead of waiting around for the perfect conditions, she uses whatever she's got to make her body happy.
This is the vital difference. Lifestyle intelligence isn't really about the particulars of diet and exercise. Rather, it's about creating health out of whatever conditions we encounter. Sure, our health tends to improve when we choose good food and good moves, but this is only a starting point. Life is always throwing monkeywrenches into our schedules and our plans. We can fight back against this fact or we can practice some improv. Ultimately, health is a series of judgment calls; the sooner we get that through our heads, the better.

"Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Have you ever been part of a great human migration, a diaspora?
As you ponder this question, you might ask yourself about the great migrations of human history: our epic journeys out of Africa, emigrations out of Europe to the New World or the countless displacements of people fleeing war and environmental catastrophe. But in this wondering, you may well have missed the greatest and most troubling migration in all of human history: our move from the outdoors to the indoors.
Historians don't even list this outdoor-indoor transition as a great migration, but the description fits. For the vast majority of our time on earth, the wild outdoors was our home. Our bodies, sculpted by thousands of generations in contact with nature, were finely tuned to outdoor conditions. But then, almost overnight, we traded one kind of habitat for another. We picked up our lives en masse and moved indoors.
According to a calculation by New Scientist magazine in February, 2015, the average human lifespan now stands at 78 years, and of that time an average of 70 years is spent inside buildings of one kind or another. In other words, we now spend 89% of our life experience out of contact with nature, insulated by walls, roofs, concrete and glass. In and of itself, this constitutes a tragedy in its own right; by locking ourselves in, we are missing the greatest show on earth. But even worse, we're also depriving ourselves of an immense body of knowledge and experience that could be improving our health and understanding of how the world really works.
Obviously, indoor habitat has some practical advantages that allow us to do important, creative work. By going indoors, we no longer have to worry about the vagaries of nature: the wind won't blow our papers around, the rain won't soak our tools and machines, the heat and cold won't distract us from our work.
But all this indoor living comes with a substantial downside. In the first place, it distorts our sensory experience. It replaces normal, natural sensation with sights, sounds and textures that are utterly alien to our bodies. Most conspicuously, weak artificial light tweaks the master clock in our brains (the suprachiasmatic nucleus), which scrambles our circadian rhythms and wreaks havoc with other biological clocks that are scattered throughout our bodies. This desynchronizes our physiology and in turn, our health. Not only that, there's an increasing body of evidence to suggest that low levels of natural light even contribute to a world-wide epidemic of myopia.
But it's not just physiology. Indoor living takes us out of contact with the world that gives us life. We deprive ourselves of ancient, primal experience that literally makes us who we are. Because we live in boxes, we begin to compartmentalize our knowledge and our imagination. That is to say, we even think differently when we're indoors. Our ideas, creations and solutions become increasingly linear, analytical, abstract, artificial and yes, dangerous. Walls and roofs make us blind to the very qualities that might well keep us whole, sane and healthy.
The obvious cure for our indoor incarceration is to simply spend more time going outside. In fact, an increasing number of public health officials and trainers are trying to persuade people to do just that. Increasingly frustrated with sophisticated health recommendations for diet and exercise, health advocates now plead with people to simply go outside for a few minutes each day. Surely that can't be too much to ask.
But there's more to this challenge than simply stepping outside for a break in the midst of a crushing indoor work day. What we really need is to immerse ourselves in the outdoor experience. Sure, many of us do in fact go outside, but we don't really inhabit the outdoor world. We bring our phones along to keep our minds busy and we talk shop every step of the way. In effect, we don't really go outside at all; we simply bring the indoors with us.
This is something that I've noticed when hiking the trails outside Seattle, Washington. On the weekends there are hundreds of people on the trails and it's impossible to miss hearing their conversations. In the aggregate, they often sound like this:
"…posted on Facebook… and then I logged in…interface…venture capital…the download took forever…my cell phone…texted me…HTML…website…Android…so I Googled it…I've got this new app…stock options…new version…Macbook…you can get it on iTunes…network…"
And on it goes, all the way up the mountain. It's as if no one is really, truly on the trail. Even on the summit, the conversation is all the same techno-corporate rap of the working day. No one seems to notice the plants, weather, terrain, textures, colors, birds or animals. No one stops talking. No one is truly outside.
To have an authentic outdoor experience, we have to go all the way out. That means leaving the indoor language indoors. Just as walls make us blind, a Swahili saying tells us that "The tongue makes us deaf." What we need is to re-inhabit our habitat. This means immersing ourselves in nature, moving and thinking at the speed of habitat. So slow down, go outside, pay attention to the qualities of nature and above all, stop talking and start listening.

I know this isn't a new idea but how about a variant involving something like the Doubling Cube in Backgammon?
The usual idea is that if there is an offer to double the stakes/points, a refusal results in a win for the offerer, and an acceptance doubles the stakes/points, leaves the option for the next double in the game for the accepter, and, different for Chess, the accepter gets Draw Odds. Therefore, the offerer MUST win to not lose. The reason for this is that in a match, one player could get ahead by one point, then double every game and play for a draw, hastening the end and a win.
Anyone have any other ideas for this variant?
I'm not sure what level of player you're thinking of?
Any level.
Hmmm, could you imagine a Top (2700+) player cubing without seeing the win? Or do you think they would be speculative?
I certainly wouldn't accept if Carlsen doubles me, lol.
Good questions.
In BG, you Double with anything over 50% winning chances, and you accept if you have at least 25%, so very often, both sides are doing the correct thing, and more importantly, it is always at least partially speculative, if not wholly so.
I haven't worked out the math for Chess with the Draw odds, but despite what the numbers will be, I think it'll be less of who can calculate deeper and take advantage of that, and more a case of position evaluation.
I'll work out the math after I've had caffeine.
Caffeine's good....
I'd like to make this work, but I have issues.
In Backgammon, you basically cube to protect yourself against bad dice. You often dont cube in totally won positions, because if your opponent declines you take away the posssibility of double or triple games.
If you cube in BG, (except against BG patzers :)) you generally WANT you opponent to decline, and pay for your current advantage. A BG advantage is much more volatile than a chess one.
