A version of this article appears in the January/February 2009 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 02, 2009
Steve Mann is a HERS rater, Green Point rater, LEED AP, remodeler, and long-time software engineer. Home performance analysis, HERS ratings, and green building ratings like Energy Star for Homes and LEED for Homes all have one thing in common—they require some degree of understanding of HVAC systems. Home performance contractors usually test duct systems for leakage. HERS raters need to do a whole-building analysis of heating and cooling loads and equipment sizing, and may factor in duct testing. LEED for Homes requires a HERS rating (or Title 24 analysis in California) and duct testing. If you are a HERS rater or home performance analyst, you can extend the quality and quantity of your services by offering room-by-room load analysis and air supply requirements. You're already doing a building takeoff to get exterior wall areas, interior volumes, and insulation and glazing details. If you collect room sizes, you can also calculate the room-by-room requirements using an appropriate software program. With this information, you can more accurately analyze comfort complaints that may be related to air supply problems. You can also do room-by-room calculations, equipment sizing, and duct sizing for HVAC contractors. If you are a HERS rater ...

From The Editor
By Carol Berkin
As the editor of History Now, let me welcome you back to another year in the classroom. What better way to start the year than with an issue on The American West? Of course, for many students, mention of "The West" conjures up popular stereotypes: macho cowboy heroes, Indians in warpaint, gunfights in saloons, or wagon trains filled with pioneer families. These images, powerful and simplistic, come from movies and television and adventure books. But modern scholarship has given us a much more complex, realistic—and more interesting—history of the American west.
In this issue of History Now, leading historians share an introduction to that new scholarship with us. In his overview essay, "Born Modern: An Overview of the West," Richard White describes the area west of the Missouri River from a new perspective: as a laboratory for many of the modern developments we often assume to have roots in the older states. Among these are the extension of the authority and bureaucracies of the federal government and the dominance of large and powerful corporations in the local economy. In "The Myth of the Frontier: Progress or Lost Freedom," John Mack Faragher traces the literary and screen history of the west, from Daniel Boone to Clint Eastwood. The western, he argues, tells a tale of progress, yet it is an ambivalent tale. From James Fenimore Cooper's heroes to John Ford's, many of the central characters in these western tales are ambivalent about "progress," and mourn the loss of the "natural freedom" enjoyed outside the boundaries of civilization. In "A New Look at the Great Plains," Elliot West, shows us that American history looks dramatically different if the Great Plains are taken as a starting point for the study of our national past. He notes that the first settlers on the continent came to the west, not the Atlantic shore; that French and Spanish colonial empires were created here just as the English created the 13 Atlantic coast colonies; and that the multiple Indian cultures of the west provide a different perspective from that of American pioneers. Next, Virginia Scharff reminds us that the history of the west belongs to women as well as men. In "Women of the West," Sharff introduces us to the critical roles women have played, from the earliest Indian societies to the era of the homesteaders to modern times. The west, she notes, offered American women the same opportunity as it offered men: the chance to reinvent themselves. Finally, in "The Road to a New Era of American Indian Autonomy," Ned Blackhawk brings the story of Indians of the West into the modern era, showing us how Indians, like African Americans, sought justice through the court system and the application of constitutional law.
These essays provide a starting point for discussions and projects in the classroom that help our students develop a richer and more complex understanding of the West, one that should prove as exciting as the gunfight at the O.K. corral. Studying the West allows us to stress multicultural perspectives, geography and diplomacy, economic growth and technological innovation, and gender and race. But it also allows us to bring to life the stories of fascinating women and men from Jim Bowie to Owl Woman to Lewis and Clark. As always, our master teachers offer you model lessons for elementary and secondary history classes and our archivist offers you a wealth of resources—from novels to history books and articles to valuable websites and bibliographies -- that you can draw upon in designing your own lessons on the West. Finally, this issue's interactive feature allows you and your students to explore a "virtual" west on the computer.
Our next issue focuses on technology—and how it has changed our society.

|Proposal Information
|FY09.2-H-SB09.2-004-0003-CRPP - Software Assurance Analysis and Visual Analytics
|Topic Information
|H-SB09.2-004 - Software Testing and Vulnerability Analysis
|Award/Contract Number
Under our Phase II SBIR we developed a compelling new technology for software assurance called Code Dx. We used initial feedback from government agencies and industry experts, collected during beta testing and Version 1.0 evaluations, to produce Version 1.1 which is technically mature and ready for trial evaluations and sale. However, the path to commercial success requires more than technical capabilities. It requires execution of a commercialization plan; staffing and infrastructure to sustain marketing, sales and support; and the financing to support both. In this proposal we outline eight strategic commercialization objectives and a commercialization roadmap that identifies specific tactics and activities that must be completed to achieve those objectives. We further identify a subset of those activities that we seek to fund through the DHS Commercialization Readiness Pilot Program (CRPP), with the remaining activities to be funded with internal and potential venture investment. The proposed Statement of Work (SOW) represents the specific commercialization activities that the CRPP funds would support. The SOW includes activities related to creating awareness of and demand for Code Dx: developing a set of reference users; promoting Code Dx within the Application Security Testing (AST) community and raising awareness among those not engaged in AST due to cost or difficulty in use; outreach to security training organizations; filling in small competitive gaps such as IDE plug-ins; and establishing partnerships to accelerate marketing and sales.

Sibes, Jan (17th century)
Jan Sibes, surnamed Pot(te) backer, was an elder of the Mennonite congregation of Harlingen in Friesland, Netherlands, in the 17th century. Concerning this elder there is not much information. He may have been identical with the Jan Sybesz who was a member of the Glückstadt Mennonite congregation in 1633. Sibes often preached in the congregation of Hamburg-Altona; in 1676 he there ordained Ocke Pieters as a preacher. In the same year during a trip of 42 days with Elder Gerhard (Gerrit) Roosen of Hamburg he visited a number of congregations in West Prussia, preaching and baptizing in Orloff, Nieschevski, Montau, Kassou(?), Lunau, Markushof, and Danzig. Maatschoen mentions a poem by Jan Sibes written in Danzig, which describes their trip and was published by Roosen, but is lost.

A focus on quality, research, and ethics - underscored by a mission to constructively change the world through individual and organisational development - has resulted in HSI materials being used by the majority of Fortune 500 Companies, Fast 50 Companies, and Ivy League Universities.
Mark Viso, the CEO of Pact, is very analytical, thoughtful and logical. He likes to plan, and we gave him a data-driven people resource that was amazing. For him, the OCI/OEI was really helpful because it put a strategy around the people side of the business. That side of the business is often considered touchy-feely and soft, and any time you can bring data that allow you to dissect it and cross-reference it and build a structure to it you get people's attention.
We always look for tools that get us to the 'aha moment,' and because of the depth of the Human Synergistics tool belt and these particular tools, we got to those aha moments in a much deeper, more significant way.
CEO and Lead Practitioner
Edge Global Advisors
I'm so grateful to HSI for the OCI™, because it really put a mirror up to our face. It gave us a common language and common understanding of who we are, and why we are. Going through the process or using the tool and acting on the results has helped encourage us to grow and become a better organisation.
Chief Operating Officer
Girl Scout Council of Orange County
HS tools have enabled us to make measurable change, show the impact of our change processes, and win awards in OD. Being able to portray concepts like culture and personal leadership styles in a very palatable way and reliably measuring the improvement and change over time are invaluable to transformation of the organisation. HS tools provide you with the means to constructively move the organisation and its leaders toward their desired state.

There is no better tool than the Desert Survival Situation™. It is the only team-building simulation flexible enough to integrate into any development programme. The synergy calculations work, enabling people to understand that individual behaviour impacts group dynamics and group dynamics impact the overall quality of business decisions.
Amdur Coaching and Advisory Group, LLC & Adjunct Professor of Leadership, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Graduate Level
I used Leadership/Impact® as a vital part of feedback for the executive leadership programme at GE. It provided that "aha moment" for execs, because is connected their strategies or what they were supposed to be doing as leaders to their impact on others. Essentially - we were showing them what kind of culture they were creating compared with the kind of culture they said they wanted to create. Then - we talked about what they were going to do about it.

TUCSON, Feb. 21 (UPI) -- An Arizona bill to provide legal cover for people who refuse service to gays because of their religious beliefs awaits the governor's signature, officials say.
Gov. Jan Brewer has not indicated if she will sign the bill, saying she hasn't had a chance to review it, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
The measure would allow a religious person to freely practice their religion.
Republican Rep. Steve Yarbrough, who introduced the bill, said the legislation maintained legal protections against discrimination
Opponents decried the bill as unconstitutional and divisive.
Shannon Minter, legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, said the bill was "blatantly unconstitutional."
It passed the state House Thursday after being approved by the Senate on Wednesday.

Does listening to your body facilitate addictive behaviors? Blogging last week in Part 1, we disputed yoga instructor Maya Georg's contention to this effect. Some research actually suggests the body, left to its own devices, demonstrates a keen aptitude for self-regulation. Relatedly, yoga philosophy posits that addictive behavior emerges, not from listening to one's body, but rather through samskara, ingrained habits or conditioned patterns that underlie thoughts, behaviors, and experience. These interweave the body-mind continuum and cannot be attributed mind or body in isolation.
In truth, the body is not driving us towards addiction or chaos unless mind and environment are considered equally at fault. Samskara are imprinted physiologically as much as they are psychologically, neural pathways reflecting and reinforcing thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and the environment. If we're on auto-pilot, we can thank their contextual interplay, rather than blaming the body.

The physicalist—or materialist—worldview contends body and mind are comprised of one continuous substance (physicality). While this contradicts yogic epistemology, paralleling only the physical, or anaamaya kosha, one relevant implication is that the body possesses intelligence untapped by the brain. Consider the enteric nervous system, increasingly shown to play an integral—yet non-conscious—role in emotion. Psychological distress is often somaticized (experienced in the body), indicating that the body experiences and embodies mental distress. And the burgeoning field of embodied cognition aims to explain how embodiment (for example, clenching one's teeth or walking quickly) shapes subjective experience. Thus, the body is increasingly suggested to wield intelligence, however unconscious, in its own right.
Mind may get us into trouble more often than not. Consider the limited utility scientists have accorded to willpower, an easily exhausted resource that leaves us unwittingly scrounging for glucose in its wake. Or the study by psychologist Alia Crum, who found that overweight persons consuming a full-fat milkshake labeled "low fat" produced more hunger hormones than those who consumed the same milkshake with no label. Had the "low fat" group eaten the milkshake without believing it was a diet product, their bodies would have attenuated hunger hormones to prevent later overeating. In this case, mind tricked body.
In fact, although we stringently cling to the illusion of free will, research is clear in indicating that our preferences and choices are often influenced by non-conscious cues. How then, can mind control and discipline body, if mind cannot fully see, much less control, itself?
Scientist John Bargh's "new unconscious" suggests untapped reservoirs of adaptive insight lurk beyond conscious awareness, absent Freud's conflicted psychodrama. Might facets thereof relate to embodiment? Might connecting with, listening to, and honoring the body facilitate greater access to insight, wisdom, and health?
How do you conceptualize "intelligence" in relation to your body or your mind?
This is Part 2 of a three-part series. In Part 3, we discuss the tantric celebration of embodiment, and potential benefits of enlisting the body's wisdom in every day life.

SAN PABLO — Three people remain hospitalized after suffering major injuries Thursday in a three-car crash that briefly shut down westbound Interstate 80, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Three Richmond men were taken to Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo after a 2009 Toyota Highlander made an unsafe lane change shortly before 4 p.m., CHP officials said.
The men were all passengers in a 1992 Honda Prelude that struck the center divider and flipped over the wall after the driver of the Honda lost control when he was hit. The driver suffered only minor injuries.
One of the passengers was partially ejected from the Honda, officials said.
The driver of the Highlander, as well as the driver of another vehicle involved in the crash, was not injured.
According to the CHP, all of the people involved in the crash were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident.
An investigation into the accident is ongoing and no one has been arrested.
Anyone with information on this incident can contact the CHP Oakland office at 510-450-3821, or the CHP's nonemergency public access number at 1-800-Tell-CHP.

Fort Morgan's major street reconstruction projects for this summer are about to ramp up into full gear, according to a city news release.
That means some traffic disruptions, detours and street closures during the next month or so — and starting Monday.
The 200 through 500 blocks of Ensign Street and the 200 and 300 blocks of Euclid Street will be completely rebuilt. Some preliminary water line and curb/gutter work has already begun on Ensign, and replacement of fire hydrants will start Monday. The hydrant phase of the project may involve single-lane closures.
Pavement grinding will start on both projects next Thursday. Pavement grinding on Ensign is expected to close only half the street at any given time, but Euclid will have to be closed completely during this phase because it is so narrow.
Work on the replacement of the water main line in Ensign Street is scheduled to start the following Monday, July 7. The water line replacement will require the complete closure of one block of Ensign Street at a time, most likely for two days each. The water line replacement on Euclid will take place as soon as the Ensign Street water line work is finished.
The city's water distribution department will coordinate with affected residents and businesses during the water line work, to minimize the length of time these customers may be without water supply.
Both streets are scheduled to be repaved in August, but until then Ensign and Euclid are likely to be under construction.
In the meantime, the city asks motorists to be aware of possible detours, closures and other disruptions and avoid these areas if possible.

Programs for Teachers
Newberry Teachers' Consortium
In this seminar, seminar participants will examine the many ways in which Richard J. Daley shaped modern Chicago, both physically (expressways, universities, public housing) and metaphysically (in terms of how Chicagoans understand and relate to each other, and create their sense of their own identities). By reading Mike Royko's Boss, excerpts from Liz Taylor and Adam Cohen's American Pharaoh, and contemporary newsmagazine coverage of Daley, participants will see how his personality, his leadership style, his ideas about politics and government, and his neighborhood helped define–for good and ill–the Chicago we live in today.
Seminar led by Bill Savage, Northwestern University

How to Cut Your Thanksgiving Grocery Bill in Half Gallery
Hosting Thanksgiving dinner, even for a small group, can be a nerve-wracking experience. How much food should you buy? What should you buy pre-made, and what should be made from scratch? How much time should you set aside? How do you avoid running out of food without being saddled with tons of leftovers? And if you're on a tight budget, all of this stress can be amplified by the sticker shock. Thankfully, we've assembled 11 tips and tricks for saving money while Thanksgiving grocery shopping.
Hosting Thanksgiving dinner is a lot more complicated than just throwing a dinner party. Instead of coming up with your own menu based on your skill level and budget (spaghetti and garlic bread!), you're essentially required to serve more or less a set menu: turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, pies, and usually a few extra appetizers and side dishes. And don't forget the wine! Needless to say, the price tag can really add up.
Thanksgiving should be a time to sit down with loved ones over a bountiful dinner and give thanks for all the good things in our lives, and hosting one shouldn't bankrupt you. Thankfully, there are some handy tips and tricks to keep in mind while doing your Thanksgiving shopping, and they might even cut your Turkey Day grocery bill in half.Shutterstock
Plan Far In Advance
Give yourself at least a week to plan your menu. Figure out exactly how much food you're going to need, talk to your guests about bringing dishes of their own if you're going that route (which we strongly recommend it you're looking to save money!), and give yourself plenty of time to stock up. This way, you'll be able to pass some of the expenses onto your guests, and will let you make sure you're only buying what you need.
Check Out the Circulars and Compare Prices
Do your research before heading to the supermarket. Visit your local supermarkets' websites to see if they're offering any deals, and scan the circulars and newspapers for any appropriate coupons.
Be Flexible With Your List
Plan all your recipes in advance, and make sure that every item you need is on your list. But it's not set in stone, so don't be afraid to make some on-the-fly changes, especially when it comes to prices. If you're shopping and realize that you've bitten off far more than you can chew, don't be afraid to trim away a couple superfluous ingredients (is that fresh chervil really necessary?) or scuttle a side dish altogether.
Check Off List Items as You Buy Them
The last thing you want to be doing in the middle of a crowded supermarket is digging through your cart to make sure you already grabbed sage (or to get home and discover that you've purchased something twice). As you put something into your cart, check it off your list.
Stick to a Budget
They say not to do your grocery shopping hungry for a reason: Our eyes are often bigger than our stomachs. While Thanksgiving grocery shopping, it's easy to go overboard with all the extra additions and trimmings. Set aside a specific (and realistic) amount of money, and stick to it. The bill can add up a lot faster than you think.
Don't Buy a Whole Extra Turkey
In general, it's suggested that you budget about one and a half to two pounds of turkey per guest. A lot of people will simply buy two turkeys to make sure they have enough, but you don't want to be saddled with an entire uneaten turkey! Don't forget that there's an alternative to buying a whole extra turkey: Just buy an extra turkey breast. This way you'll save money and will guarantee that everyone gets enough. And to save even more money (especially if you're only having a few guests), buy just the breast, and not a whole turkey.
Don't Buy Prepared Items
If you're looking to save money, a good rule of thumb is that preparing something from scratch is always less expensive than buying it pre-made. Side dishes at the deli counter are always significantly marked up, and even frozen pies cost more than the raw materials.
Load Up on the Cheap Stuff
Mashed potatoes and gravy are both incredibly cheap to make, and the starchiness of mashed potatoes, rolls, and stuffing will fill up guests faster than, say, a side dish of fancy roasted mushrooms.iStockPhoto
Buy Less Than You Think You'll Need
Have you ever heard of a Thanksgiving celebration running of food? Probably not, because it doesn't often happen, even if the table isn't overflowing. You most likely don't need to make that second batch of cornbread or stuffing unless you're feeding an especially large, especially hungry group, so save your money.iStockPhoto
Cheap Wine is Fine
As long as there's some wine of some sort, your guests will be perfectly content; there's no need to spend more than ten bucks on a bottle of wine, and most boxed wines are pretty drinkable these days as well. If your snooty uncle absolutely must have his Burgundy Grand Cru, he can bring his own.
Go Generic
Another way to save money is to buy the generic or store brands. Trust us, your guests won't know the difference, and some foods should always be bought generic, anyway.

Why Matt Drudge Still Rules (And Where He Goes From Here)
Is Matt Drudge completely over in the wake of his ill-advised hyping of pro-McCain propaganda?If you're even bothering to ask the question, the answer is self-evidently "No," it can always be argued. It was thus inevitable that someone — Slate's Jack Shafer, it turns out — would emerge to swat down the greatly exaggerated reports (from Media Matters and so forth) of Drudge's demise as an influential blogger. He works too hard and has drawn too much traffic to go away so easily, Shafer argues:
...12 years after its founding, no greater media punch can be found in a smaller Web package than the Drudge Report, reportedly just a two-person operation. According to comScore Media Metrix, the Drudge Report's number of unique visitors rose 70 percent from September 2007 to September 2008, impressive even in a year that most Web sites covering the campaign have attracted plumper audiences.
Besides, people have been predicting Drudge's demise for nearly a decade, and nothing has come of it, Shafer adds. (Sounds familiar.)
Why did Drudge screw up the last few weeks of the election so badly, and how does he position his site now that the horse that he bet against has won? The internet publisher can safely avoid doing much self-reflection: He'll do well enough for himself remaining, with Fox News, part of the loyal opposition. Several months down the road, when Obama's honeymoon has ended, Drudge's hectoring will sound less tone-deaf and more like an integral part of the media narrative.
In the meantime, he's well-advised to get out of the house a bit more and start handicapping the next election cycle. He needs to be able to read the tea leaves much more closely this time around.

In an unprecedented step, more than a dozen international news organizations have signed a joint letter to the Syrian armed opposition about the "disturbing rise in the kidnapping of journalists" in Syria, which has led many outlets to reduce their coverage of the conflict out of safety concerns. The organizations urge the Syrian armed opposition leadership "to assist in identifying those groups currently holding journalists and take the steps necessary to bring about their release."
This step comes in response to an unprecedented danger, with approximately 30 journalists currently missing in Syria. Even the Iraq War, the deadliest conflict for journalists since CPJ's founding, did not reach such chilling numbers. And yet the numbers continue to grow, with at least seven abductions in the past two months.
On December 14, the Supreme Military Council, which commands the Free Syrian Army, issued a response to the letter.

Research and general acceptance
Fit for Life is a combination diet diet that emphasizes eating foods in the correct combination and avoiding the wrong combinations of foods rather than counting calories or controlling portion size. Several aspects of this diet have been disputed by dietitians and nutritionists.
Fit for Life is the creation of Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. The diet first came to the attention of the public in the mid-1980s with the publication of the book Fit for Life, which has sold millions of copies. On the official Fit for Life website, Diamond claims that the diet "spawned juice and salad bars, fruit sellers on the streets of New York, and the juice industry." He also claims the book "launched a nutritional awakening in the United States and other Western countries."These are impressive claims for a book written by a man whose "doctoral degree" came from the American College of Life Science, a non-accredited correspondence school founded in 1982 by a high school dropout.
Diamond has appeared on dozens of television talk shows explaining his theories on how eating foods in the correct combination and avoiding the "wrong"combinations of food can bring about weight loss without calorie counting or exercise. In the 2000s, the Fit for Life system added the Personalized FFL Weight Management Program. This program uses what they call Biochemical Analyzation, Metabolic Typing and Genetic Predispositions to individualize and personalize the dietary protocols. The resulting diet is said to be effective only for one specific.
individual and can be used for that person's entire life. Diamond has also begun selling nutritional supplements, many of which are strongly recommended in his newest version of the Fit for Life system.
Fit for Life is a food combining diet based on the theory that to lose weight, one must not eat certain foods together. The philosophy behind the diet comes from Diamond's interest in natural hygiene, an offshoot of naturopathic medicine. In his original book, Diamond claimed that if a person ate foods in the wrong combination, they would "rot"in the stomach. He also categorized foods as "dead foods"that "clog"the body and "living foods" that cleanse the body. The newest version of Fit for Life talks less about rotting, dead, and living foods and more about "enzyme deficient foods."However, the general message about food combining is the same.
According to Diamond, dead foods are meats and starches. Living foods are raw fruits and vegetables. His diet plan requires that these foods not be eaten together. Some of the Fitness for Life rules include:
- Only fruit and fruit juice should be eaten from the time one awakes until noon. Fruits cleanse the body
- Fruits are good for health only if they are eaten alone.They should never be eaten with any other food
- Lunch and dinner can consist of either carbohydrates and vegetables or proteins and vegetables
- Carbohydrates and proteins should never be put in the stomach at the same time
- No dairy foods should ever be eaten
- Water should never be drunk at meals
- One day each week (the same day every week) is a free day, when the individual can eat whatever he or she wants."
The goal of the Fit for Life diet is to help people lose weight and keep their body healthy through diet. Diamond states that people do not gain weight because they eat too many calories and exercise too little. Instead, he considers the cause of weight gain to be eating protein-rich foods at the same time as carbohydrate-rich foods. He argues that enzymes that digest proteins interfere with enzymes that digest carbohydrates, and therefore, these two foods should not be eaten together. His program makes little mention of the role of different types of fats—saturated, unsaturated, and transfat—in diet, dietary fiber, the role of water in health, or of the need to exercise.
The Fit for Life program says it is a lifestyle program that will teach people to be healthier. Along with the personalized diet program, dieters get a "Clinical Manual"that claims to teach them how their body works, what is healthy for them, and what is not. The program is heavily infused with an alternative medicine approach to health and diet, and many of the explanations it gives for the way the body works are scientifically questionable and not accepted by practitioners of conventional medicine.
The benefits claimed by Fit for Life are not supported by any scholarly research and are, in fact, refuted by some research (see below). The main claim, supported by testimonials and before and after pictures, is that people who follow Fit for Life will lose weight and keep it off. Along with weight loss will come a gnereral improvement in health. The official Fit for Life Website claims an "86% success rate"and mentions "clinical trials"without providing any details.
Some benefits of the plan are that it encourages people to increase their consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. Unlike some diets, Fit for Life that it does not require dieters to buy special foods, keeping food costs moderate. It does, however, encourage dieters to purchase enzyme supplements from Fit for Life Industries.
The Fit for Life Web site is heavy on the theory behind the Fit for Life diet, but give few specifics on how the diet cam be put into effect in daily life. Sample meal plans and approved food lists are not available until the dieter signs up for the program at a substantial fee. This is very different from programs such as Body for Life or Weight Watchers which give potential program participants very specific information about diet, menus, and exercise before they pay for the plan.
Fit for life claims that their rules for eating benefit everyone from young children to pregnant women to older adults. Their personalized diet is intended to be a diet for a lifetime, but it does not take into account changes in lifecycle nutrition.
Nutritionists feel that the Fit for Life diet can lead to serious vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Banning dairy products makes it extremely difficult for dieters to get the recommended daily allowance of calcium Calcium is needed to keep bones strong and in many metabolic reactions in the body. Other potential vitamin
Research and general acceptance
Many professionals in the nutrition community consider Fit for Life an unhealthy fad diet. The concept behind food combining was tested in a study published in the April 2007 issue of the International Journal of Obesity In this study, participants were fed a 1,100 calorie a day diet to promote weight loss. One group ate balanced meals containing all the major food groups. The other group ate a similar diet, but tested the food-combining theory by avoiding eating certain food groups at the same time. At the end of six weeks, the blood sugar, cholesterol, insulin, and blood fats were the same for each group. The balanced-meal group had lost an average of 16.5 lb and the food-combining group had lost 13.6 lb. This strongly suggests that eating a low calorie diet is much more important than eating foods in certain combinations.

Palm has launched Z22 its latest entry level PDA. Good news is that it is color version of its predecessor Zire 21, rest of the specs are almost same. Palm is offering this color variant of Zire 21 at its old price of$99 in US.
On Palm India its listed price is Rs. 8500 without local taxes. I fail to understand the logic behind import duties for PDA, something costing around 4500 costs double here. Maybe this is responsible for low penetration of PDAs in India.
Anyway leaving aside all that I will still say that it's the cheapest PDA available in India now and is very lightweight and sleek. Those of you who want to check it out can do so at:
I think import duties on mobile phones are much less as we can get cellphone models almost at same price here in India, unlike old days.
Irony here is even PDA phones like O2, Imate and Treo are perhaps treated as PDAs and not phones and thus attract higher duties resulting in higher prices. I think somebody should take it up with custom department or IT department of India. May be if they listen, it can help many companies and people in India to do work on field and become more productive.

Visit to the BP Portrait Award
07/11/12BP Portrait Award 2012
3rd November 2012 - 27th January 2013
Scottish National Portrait Gallery | Admission free
The BP Portrait Award showcases the very best in contemporary portrait painting from around the world. For thirty-three years, of which the last twenty-three have been sponsored by BP, the exhibition has presented outstanding and innovative new work in a variety of styles and approaches, and it continues to be a highlight of the annual art calendar at all its venues. This is the fourth time that the Scottish National Portrait Gallery has hosted the Award.
From informal and personal studies of friends and family, to revealing paintings of famous faces, this year's exhibition features fifty-five works selected from over 2,000 international entries. The first prize of £25,000 went to Aleah Chapin's intense but affectionate portrait Auntie, whilst the BP Young Artist Award was awarded to Jamie Routley's triptych. The show also includes the work of the BP Travel Award 2011 winner Jo Fraser, who travelled to the Peruvian Highlands where she recorded the women from the Quechua community engaged in traditional weaving.
The BP Portrait Award is organised by the National Portrait Gallery, London.

Launched in 2010 by Matt and Kate Spry of Tamworth, Spry's Angus was essentially established in response to Shorthorn client demands for Angus Bulls to use in their Shorthorn/Angus Crossbreeding programs. Spry's Angus is run in conjunction with Spry's Shorthorns and follows much of the same Breeding philosophy. The primary focus of Matt and Kate's (then) business was their bull breeding program, with their fundamental objective being the production of fertile, medium maturity, structurally correct, value-for-money bulls with strong carcase traits for the commercial cattleman. Since September, 2014 (when Matt commenced working in a different sector of the Beef Industry) Gerald and Lynden Spry now run Spry's Angus.
Click on the image to enlarge.
Gerald and Lynden are emphatic about the importance of genetics - a principle that is reflected in their Angus and Shorthorn slogan, Breeding Better Beef- Supplying Better Bulls. Fastidious in maintaining superior breeding lines, Gerald and Lynden select only the genetics that truly enhance their breeding programs, and give specific focus to identifying the sire and dam lines of particular carcase characteristics: primarily weight for age, yield, fat cover, marbling and meat quality.
After almost fifty years of breeding seedstock, the Spry family believes that they have a solid understanding of what the industry requires. Gerald and Lynden strive to consolidate this knowledge and experience by canvassing client feedback on the article that they produce; believing that a progressive approach is the only way forward for continued growth and production of the right article for the breed.

Uploading via FTP does not work!!
We both tried our usernames eg. johnsmithathotmaildotcom and passwords which work fine on the website but can't log on.
We have had nothing but trouble using this service. Sent a help request a few days ago and have heard nothing back.
This was supposed to be for an anniversary present but won't be ready in time now.
When I use FTP for upload to Lulu, I enter the same email address (i.e actually used the at symbol and fullstops/periods in the email address rather than substituting words) with which I log into Lulu, not my user name, and I've never had a problem.
I have used Lulu for years, never having major issues until this past week....I have tried unsuccessfully for well over a week 24/7 literally, trying to upload several different pdfs via ftp (in case there was an issue with one, but there is no way there is an issue with 7 different pdf files)..I have sent in an email for help but no repsonse. The files appear to go but when i go to my files they are not there..anyone else having ftp issues?
vector149 Reader
I've taken to using core ftp lite which works for me as I was experiencing probs with filezilla.
I am having similar issues here. I cannot use the website via FireFox to upload anything, not even small files. I can't use Filezilla anymore, just throws error at me after 20 minutes saying, "too many retries". I can sometimes upload using the website, if I use Microsoft Exploder, but even that takes forever -- and often doesn't work at all. What the heck is going on? We've been using lulu.com for years now, and this is the first time I've ever had issue. Also, putting in help tickets lately seems to be worthless. They are never handled. I only get help and answers here on the forums...
thanks much,
I am having the same problem - have used a few different ftp clients to no avail... what the heck? It is getting really frustrating!
I've always used Filezilla but today I can't seem to talk to their server no matter what I type in.
I uploaded a dvd iso file all last night for 13 hours using filezilla.
It uploaded fine but isn't showing in myfiles.
I have the same problem .... nothing works. The server replys:
Login authentication failed.
Ni chance to get in. I had to use the wizard to upload my file.
I am using Core Lite. It makes the connection just fine. But once it gets to 85% of the upload it shows the file as havung been transferred across to the Lulu site directory and then just "FAILS" - every time - after 3 F'en hours. Report that the Lulu site has terminated the connection.
Also will only connect at HTTP "connection" setting and never at FTP.
What to do?
I've uploaded a validated epub file ok with Transmit, but lulu rejected it because of File Permission setting errors. Anyone else had this? All my files are set to read/write
Try using Ipswitch as your FTP client. It's a superior product.
If anyone is stucuk on a deadline email me the file and I'll do it for you.
If that doesn't work, then I would recommend using our Support page. There you can find our Live Chat and Email Support options. Our customer service team currently has an 88% satisfaction rate, so you know you're in good hands!
everything always crashes, this is getting really annnnnnoying.
is there any other way without being a boffin, to upload what is needed for lulu seeing as just uploading always freezes, if your servers are old then maybe they need updating... if not anyone know alternative sites that are good, if not lulu please solve the problem
After hours uploading using smart ftp got '
An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.
Loaded 319mb of 512.
Now cant connect. Try another FTP I supose. Really hacked of after a sleepless night to be further back in project.
Used to really rate lulu, but its about time they sorted fundamentals or they will lose people to places like blurb Etc.
So, it sounds like I shouldn't bother with Lulu for this small catalog that I want to print.
I can't find any of the information that I need on the web site. The downloaded template folder provides NO real information and has a link to a page that promises to provide info about onepiece covers - that link only takes me to this forum. To make matters worse, searching with the term "onepiece" shows no responses at all.
So Lulu is basically a shell company that provides no info and no customer service. It collects money for allowing people to flounder around, trying to help each other publish their own books by uploading to a site with no technical support or oversight.
Is this a joke?
Hi lfrench,
I'm sorry to hear that you've had a difficult time navigating the site. We are always happy to provide help and support; we strive to respond to email support cases within 2-4 business days, but we do occasionally experience high volumes of email requests. You can contact us via live chat as well and chat instantly with a support agent via the support page:
I would recommend modifying your search on the Connect page to "one-piece", which should pull up a list of articles pertaining to formatting your one-piece cover. Here are a few:
Hope this helps!
I looked a ipswitch, too expensive. I've never figured out how to use FTP, Filezilla even when I had brains. Quickconnect I entered lulu.com and it found the IP but didn't connect. And everyone is right, lulu is a frustating service especially for the disabled and poor.
I downloaded Core Lite but using is another matter. I need instructions please. I tried quick connect w/ lulu, no dice.
Remember I'm trying to function despite a brain tumor and I'm a fixed income. I'm really a sick old man, still trying to function in a world gone mad. I don't figure I have much time left. Really trying to do things on a shoestring. I played w/ the Core Lite, but I'm old-fashioned, I like books. Learning by video doesn't work w/ me and I've never used FTP before. So, if somebody will be kind enough to give instructions that I can print that would be grand. I looked at the detailed instructions and the would take a little bit of forever to print out.
OK, I printed it out and I still can't connect. Unfortunately, most computer talk has turned into gobbleygook for me even tho I've built 5 websites. Now all I can do is write, these damned machines baffle me now and I'm living in a place that's very uncomfortable and I spend too much time in front of my machine trying to get something done. I can't process info like I used to, but I'm still trying.
Like I said I printed out the instruction, played some more but I can't seem to get to work for me (story of my life right now).
Trying to get help w/ this all over. One thing I picked is lulu.com may not be their server name. What, pray tell, might it be?
I think I've been black-balled. I try to connect w/ Core using a password and it says "request denied." The Ertian Chronicles is nearing completion and I'd like to use LULU as a publisher but unless I get real help soon it's going to be a failed project representing 4 years of work.

|Holiday festivities with my mom in December 2012
Growing up, whether you're a sports fan, competing athlete, coach/mentor, we were all taught that the goal is to win, right? Winning is important, it helps get exposure, funding, support, recognition, awards, bragging rights, etc. Winning equals celebrations and praise, whereas losing equals disappointment and punishment training for the mistakes made.
|Team Fenlator at the 2012 Lake Placid World Cup race, where I
earned silver
As an athlete grinding for success in performance with goals of being an Olympian, an Olympic medalist and Olympic champion, you tend to be on a one-track focus. Train, train, train; eat, eat, eat; recover, recover, recover; analyze, resolve, fall, stand up, try again, reflect, etc. It seems all your energy is for that one task at hand – WINNING! Realistically, being an athlete, being an Olympian, and/or being a champion does not solely define us. Although we tend to not operate like the real world and our lifestyles are a bit extraordinary, in all reality we are still very much ordinary people. We live outside the box but have so much more depth than just being "athletes." As much as we may be perceived and like to think of ourselves as "super" humans, we experience emotions, pain, tragedy, loss, birthdays and celebrations just like everyone else.
To be frank, the past two years have been filled with some of the roughest moments for me and my family (I am sure many of you have been struggling and overcoming hardships as well). But these past two weeks have left me reflecting and getting focused on the "BIG" picture of life. To some, winning can be defined as achieving your goal of being the best in a competition or out of a group of people attempting the same task. But to me, winning is achieving the goal of filling your heart with joy and the knowledge that you gave life your all and were also able to touch a soul through that journey. Winning does not necessarily have to refer to a competition, receiving a medal or being at the top. Winning is about the simple intangibles that are priceless. On the contrary, is that really "winning" or is that living life to the fullest?
|"Mom, I'm finally home!" – March 2013
What preempted these thoughts is last week while I was home in New Jersey, within four days my world was turned upside down… again. I was awoken by my cell phone ringing at 2:45 a.m. from my mom. When I answered, she asked me to take her to the hospital or call 911 because she was having severe chest pains and could not wait until morning. Long story short, my mom does not have good health. She has had quadruple bypass heart surgery, a stroke, active lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and a plethora of things related to the deterioration of lupus. Unfortunately this was not my first time calling 911 or attempting to rush her to the hospital for emergency care.
In the blink of a second, you almost feel your whole world is about to collapse and fade away. That argument you had with a sibling seems ridiculous, being angry the grocery store did not have anymore of your favorite Greek yogurt flavor is absurd, the cost of repairs for your car, which is going to clean out your bank account, or how your going to pay for the plane flight and other expenses to go start training with your coach for the upcoming season are all the least of your concerns. All that matters now is that your heart is aching for the ones you love and the possibility of losing them.
As much as I want to WIN and become women's bobsled champion, is it everything? No… I have won already by persevering, being resilient and living life to the fullest, every moment I can. Competing for an opportunity to be an Olympian and medalist is all a bonus. Although she may not know it, that's something my mom has taught me all my life; it's the simple intangible things that declare WINNING and are priceless.
We lost our home to Hurricane Irene and my family was homeless for 12 weeks, lived in construction for more than eight months. No big deal, Mom said. It's just stuff, we have each other and our memories, opportunities are ahead; keep your eyes forward. My mom became permanently disabled and unable to work full-time at the age of 54, due to all her health struggles. Claims of foreclosure are now processing on our home. No worries, Mom said, a home is in the heart and together we are home. We'll make it through; we always do.
|Christmas shopping and being goofy with my mom in
December 2012
Despite all the hurdles, my mom's will of hope and will to live has continued to inspire and motivate me to pursue my goals and dreams. She has continuously encouraged me to soak up every possible opportunity – grinding it out until the end and then no matter the result, I can walk away head held high and proud as I gave it my all. I feel extremely blessed and lucky that I have this amazing woman in my life. She is home, has recovered from her last hospital stint and we cherish every moment we have together. We only have this one life and, trust me, it's real short.
If I am able to experience such a roller coaster journey, survive all the trials, touch another soul along the way, well to me, now that's WINNING! So I ask all of you, take a moment today, call that loved one just to say "Hi! I love ya!," think of the positives that are happening rather than dwelling on the negatives, share a smile with someone, jump on that opportunity you've been pondering (it won't be around forever) and take that leap of faith on life!
How will you be WINNING today?

Why put just one picture in your locket when you can put hundreds, even thousands? I don't mean in the old-fashioned sense though, because there's no way a locket can hold a hundred tiny cut-up pictures of your loved ones. What you can do is save these photos onto a USB drive, which you'll then put snugly inside the USB Locket. Obviously, you're not limited to just storing pictures in the drive. Save videos, important documents, crucial contracts, and other files that you might need or can't do without.
The USB Locket is available in silver or in 24-karat gold-plated brass and comes with a 2-gigabyte USB drive. It's available online for $200.

Here in NC, summer is taking it's sweet time to disappear, but the weather is slowly turning cooler and I know that fall is right around the corner. I love fall. No, I think my feelings for fall are even deeper than love. One might say that I ADORE fall. I love to see the leaves changing colors, the light breeze, and the cool clothing and accessories that you get to wear in the fall!
Typically, when I think of fall, I also think if rain showers. As a matter of fact, it has rained here for the past 2 days! I really have never really liked rain in the past, but this fall it isn't bothering me so much. I think this is probably because I now own the coolest pair of däv rain boots!
I received the Lace Up Houndstooth Green/Brown Rain boot (pictured above), and I L-O-V-E them! They are so adorable!! I have received so many compliments on my däv rain boots already this season. These rain boots are not just for looks, though. They are comfortable and keep your feet warm and dry. I am 110% pleased with these boots, and I plan to purchase a different style to add to my wardrobe. They have really cool western style rain boots available. I also love the idea of the rain flats, so that may be what I try next!
You can also find umbrellas, socks, apparel and kids products at däv.
I would highly recommend däv to anyone and everyone. If you are going to have to trudge around in the rain, you might as well look good doing it!
BUY IT! You can purchase your own rain boots or other rain gear here.
WIN IT! däv has generously offered to give one lucky reader their choice of rain boots!
Please visit däv, then come back here and tell me which rain boots you would choose!

The monumental discovery has been hushed up by the Justice Department. But a crack team of G-men unearthed a 55-gallon drum containing Hoffa's remains in a New Jersey dump shortly before Thanksgiving, confidential law enforcement sources revealed.
The sources said a top-secret dossier that pointed the feds to the burial site also fingered two hitmen — and one of the killers was working for Ted, the powerful Massachusetts senator who hated Hoffa!
"The lead came from papers written by Hoffa's killer to a one-time lover," said a law-enforcement source. "These papers specifically mention Kennedy. "We believe this individual took his direct orders from Senator Edward M. Kennedy."
Agents also interviewed close associates of the heavyweight Democratic politician — and at least two are convinced Ted ordered Hoffa's death.
The execution of Hoffa — the infamously corrupt, 62-year-old former president of the powerful truckers union — was Ted's revenge for the murder of his brother Bobby, who was assassinated while campaigning for the presidency in 1968.
"Bobby Kennedy and Jimmy Hoffa were bitter enemies," explained the source. "Bobby helped send Hoffa to prison, and Teddy always believed Hoffa was involved somehow in Bobby's assassination.
Hoffa got the payback he deserved."
But someone is silencing people involved in the murder, the source said.
One hit-man involved in Hoffa's gangland-style execution died mysteriously in a 1997 house fire later ruled as arson. His partner in crime is now on the run and laying low, an insider close to the investigation revealed.
"The surviving killer has links to the New York crime family formerly headed by Carlo Gambino, which once struggled for control of the Teamsters," the source said. "He was last spotted in Italy over the summer, but is now believed to have fled to South America. Word is he now suffers from severe arthritis and often uses a motorized cart to get around."
The assassin was ratted out by his former lover, now a 68-year-old woman who turned over a treasure trove of documents to the FBI. The papers detail the thug's meetings with Kennedy and the grisly way Hoffa was slain and horribly mutilated.
One of the killers emptied his revolver into Hoffa's head and then sliced off the union leader's manhood as a gruesome trophy of the killing. Hoffa's body was then chopped into pieces and stuffed in the drum, which was welded shut and shipped to the Garden State — in a Teamster-driven truck!
Lawmen revealed the hit team secretly met with Kennedy on three different occasions — including a sit-down just 11 days before Hoffa disappeared.
A key document also pinpointed the dump in New Jersey where Hoffa was left to rot, but sources remain tight-lipped about the exact location of the burial site.
"They want to get the last killer before he realizes Hoffa's remains have finally been located," said the insider. "They don't want to spook him. But they're worried now because they can't find him."
Investigators also fear that if the location of the dump is disclosed, the place will be flooded by the media and the public seeking souvenirs.
Before he died, mobster Phillip Moscato claimed the union head had been entombed in a drum and buried at a toxic waste dump under Jersey City's Pulaski Skyway.
Sources refuse to confirm that was the burial site. But they say a team of four FBI agents and two Justice Department officials removed Hoffa's remains from Jersey and took them to Washington. There, forensics investigators positively identified the body parts as the former Teamsters boss.
The ID brings some closure a case that has confused so many.
Hoffa was targeted by then-Attorney General Bobby Kennedy for his ties to the mob, and convicted in 1964 of fraud, bribery and jury tampering. He spent four years in prison before President Richard Nixon pardoned him in 1971.
Hoffa was last seen on his way to a lunch meeting with two mobsters at Machus Red Fox eatery outside of Detroit on July 30, 1975.
"Teddy always suspected Hoffa was tied up in his brother's murder," says the source. "In the end, he found a way to even the score with Hoffa."

Innovation starts when people ask the What if Question? Today I attend a great lecture in connection with the 10 year anniversary for the Sunshine Coast Innovation Centre. The lecturer was Steve Huff, form managing director of Typefi, an automated publishing too used by companies such as Apple, Lonely Planet and Telstra.
Steve Huff was sharing his entrepreneurial experience, which he did really well. In 1999, just after the IT bobble busted, he founded Typefi, after asking the question; What if we could automate book publishing and save the publishers money by shortening the editing process from several days to today's just 3 minutes. The entire lecture was framed by this question of: What if? Because as Steve said, that is the main question entrepreneurs ask themselves.
Steve shared a great story of an episode with an online conference call with Apple in Cupertino, where they experienced constant fall outs. The Apple employees became pretty frustrated about the situation and Steve Huff and his team had to admit that they did not have broadband.
Even though Steve's story was pretty amazing, he underlined that being an entrepreneur is a hard job and he also had a few stories to about sleepless nights, extreme frustration and fear. But as he stated, if you are passionate about what you do, you don't want to take a break from it.
Today Steve has asked himself the question: What if we could supply refugee camps in Africa with lightning and by that minimize the risk of assault and rape of women and children? With this question has Steve set out to create jobs in a whole new industry of lightning under the name of Doble.
The anniversary also gave the opportunity to say hello to Gideon Shalwick, an online video marketing entrepreneur specialized in turning online videos into cash. I had the pleasure of sitting in on a guest lecture held by Gideon just a week earlier on Campus. It was a great lecture, and I was happy to be presented with the opportunity to have a little chat about Gideon's book publishing history.
All over a regular Thursday turned into an extraordinary Thursday. Now I am about to ask myself the What if Question? And so should you?
