Resource Roundup
I used Grammarly (www.grammarly.com) to grammar check this post, because evidently grammar mistakes enjoy taking advantage of migraine-brain!
I've run across a number of cool resources online lately, so in the interest of minimizing the illness delays I'm presenting them all to you here in one handy-dandy list.
And yeah, this is a really old picture of the two older kiddos. Hard to believe they were once that size!
Want to do something great with your searching and shopping and couponing, rather than trying to scrape together enough points with daily gimmicks to earn a little gift card?
Save1.com is a family owned coupon and loyalty site representing more than 5,000 of the top online merchants.
What makes us different is that when someone shops from Save1 to save money, we provide a healthy meal to a malnourished child through one of our non-profit feeding partners.
Since launching 10/01/12, we have provided more than 99,000 meals.
Much nicer to give than to receive, eh?
Grammarly is "an automated proofreader and your personal grammar coach." It's designed to correct up to 10 times more mistakes than your word processor does!
- Instantly find and correct over 250 types of grammatical mistakes
- Improve word choice with context-optimized vocabulary suggestions
- Avoid plagiarism by checking your texts against over 8 billion documents
Doesn't that make you make you wonder how you ever got along without it? I guess some progress is a good thing.
World of Warcraft
I suppose I'll find out how many people are actually reading this post by how many comments I get about this entry. No doubt it seems completely out of character for me.
Actually, Nick and I both enjoy playing computer games, and we play World of Warcraft online together.
Does it have some violence and other content that's not ideal? Yeah. Do people online (you play live with many, many people from all over the country, and even the world) sometimes say things that are inappropriate? Yeah. So? So I don't let the little kids play. It's FAR less offensive than many things I see and overhear on my average trip to the store, so I don't feel that's a reason to reject it out of hand.
I enjoy it as a mental escape, and I can choose whether to do exciting, challenging things, or mundane and peaceful things, depending on my mood. And I can play cooperatively with my teenager – and that's valuable all by itself.
Want to check it out? You can play on a free starter account for 30 days; and if you email me at tiffany (at) tiffanyblitz (dot) com, I can send you an invitation link to get even more free bonus goodies.
Whew! I think I'm caught up now…

Book Review: Changing Gears
Let's get this awkward new FTC stuff out of the way upfront: I was sent a copy of the book for review. Amazon link has affiliate tracking. See the details at the end of the post. So there.
What would you do if you were not afraid?
That is the very question one mother asked herself one day. What followed was a family journey of epic proportions – a journey of physical challenge, emotional endurance, teamwork, perseverance, and tremendous learning opportunities.
Would the journey be a dream come true – or a mother's worst nightmare?
Together with her husband and young twin sons, Nancy Sathre-Vogel set off on her heavily laden bicycle to ride from one end of the world to the other – quite literally. Starting in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, they pedaled south for three years. Theirs was a journey of over 17,000 miles through fifteen countries.
Changing Gears: A Family Odyssey to the End of the World is Nancy's memoir about her experiences on the road. In it, she grapples with the challenges any mother does. When is it time to cut the apron strings and send your children out on their own? How does a mother respond when the tides change and the children are capable of caring for their parents? How does one handle the responsibility of caring for your offspring in unknown and unpredictable circumstances? How do we know we're doing the best for our children?
Changing Gears is also a book that will encourage you to reach for the stars. It's a story of discovery of self, of priorities, of accepting hardships, and of appreciating blessings. It will challenge you to look at your own life through a different set of glasses.
Changing Gears: A Family Odyssey to the End of the World is organized as a travel log, with a map showing each leg of the journey, fun photos and facts, colorful anecdotes about people encountered along the way, and more. There's even a Guinness Book of World Records record – sort of (you'll have to read for yourself to see what I mean).
But Nancy also candidly documents her inner journey. Even after making the initial decision to embark on the trip, there are many obstacles – inner as well as outside. She has to care for her boys, while encouraging them to grow and mature; find the determination to keep going through the tough times; broaden and change some of her philosophies as she encounters new things. That's what makes the book a good read – since I, for one, have absolutely zero interest in cycling further than the corner park!
You can grab a copy from Amazon – physical or digital:
Although the book is not particularly "dramatic" or a "can't put it down" kind of read, I definitely recommend it.
I think it will be fun to browse through as a homeschool tool when my kids are a little older. And it's a good nudge to help us mamas (and other folks) think outside the box, and outside our fear.
And there's more about their other journeys (yes, there are!) on their website: Family on Bikes.
I was "disclosing" before it was cool. See my Review Policy for the full scoop.
Some retailers offer affiliate programs, so for some of the products mentioned clicking through one of my links may earn me a small referral commission. In which case, I am very grateful.
More Star Trek Fun
You probably know by now that we're Star Trek fans in our house. Last year, the kiddos even had a Star Trek birthday, complete with a Borg Cube cake that was my first foray into fondant, and very stressful!
Although we haven't seen the new movie (and weren't big fans of its predecessor, being fans of the classic stuff), it is definitely nice that the publicity has generated a new wave of fun Trek stuff.
I was delighted to be offered the opportunity to review something from the array of Star Trek Costumes out there. To be sure we're in compliance with the new FTC rules, let me state here that I was given the costume pieces we're about to discuss for free, for the purpose of writing this review; full details are at the bottom of the post.
The kids already had their costumes from the party (see first photo), so they opted for some accessories – cool phasers! Trek fans may note that the costumes are from the new movie, while the phasers are from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The kids don't seem to mind.
Battery powered. Cool noises. What more could you ask for?
I was "disclosing" before it was cool. See my Review Policy for the full scoop.
Aloha Spirit
I was happy to be offered the opportunity to review a creation from Aloha Island Lei – and frankly, I had no idea what I was getting into when I was asked.
A few days later, a box showed up on my porch marked "Perishable" and "Plant Products from Hawaii"!
It was carefully packaged, including an ice pack, and sent with fast delivery. Inside was…
Nothing like I ever imagined a lei looking like! This was a … floral sculpture that was just beautiful!
The timing worked out well (quite unintentionally!), since this week we are celebrating Miss J's birthday, as well as her (annual) ballet recital. She was more than happy to have this lovely fashion accessory to wear to some of our various celebrations.
The lei we received is the Kalihi.
I was very surprised how long it has lasted. With the care tips they provide (there's even a short video on the website), we've had the lei over a week and it still looks beautiful!
They offer everything from a basic lei (surprisingly inexpensive), to these gorgeous artwork pieces. If you don't happen to live in Hawaii, shipping is the worst part, since they are fresh flowers and have to get there fast.
What an amazing gift, though, to make a special occasion memorable!
WalMart Price Fiasco
Over time, I have had a number of issues with WalMart prices seeming to be confused, shelf tags misleading, and so on. But this one… This takes the cake.
Typically things like this don't make the blog, but this one really needs to be shared as a Public Service Announcement.
This incident took place at the Super WalMart store in Gulfport, MS. (The similar incidents referenced were at other stores).
The shopping trip was intended to purchase a keyboard – the one that came with our new desktop was just SO cheap and non-ergonomic that it was not usable.
Right across the aisle from the keyboards were monitor stands – something else I needed to fix my posture. I've been making due with 2 reams of copy paper, but for $18 it seemed a reasonable investment to also gain the storage space underneath (not to mention getting the paper back!).
There was only one type there – and the shelf tag listed it for $18.00; I grabbed one. It was this one, The Allsop "Metal Art Jr. Monitor Stand," Model # 27021. (See scan of actual package)
After picking up a few other items, I went up to the register. Unfortunately, they told me that it cost $19.96. (See receipt)
When I questioned this, the checker agreed to send someone back to do a price check. This took quite some time, and several calls on the in-house phone, since she could not locate them. Finally, the answer I got was that the $18 was "the one next to it."
Hm. That's just what they said about some speakers we didn't buy there a few months ago. Seems a bit much to be a coincidence.
Jewel's ballet lesson was due to finish within a few minutes, so I needed to leave. I told her to go ahead and ring up the purchase, fully intending to investigate further, and document the situation, at another time (and return the item).
When I arrived home, my first step was to check WalMart.com.
Imagine my surprise when I could find the very same monitor stand listed online for $15.78 – with free Site to Store shipping. (See screen capture of digital receipt)
I ordered it, and the next week during ballet class I went back to the store.
First stop, returning the one I'd purchased at Customer Service. No problem getting a refund for $19.96 plus tax.
Next stop, the computer accessory department.
Sure enough, something totally different was shelved to the left of it. Nothing at all was in the slot to the right of it (and a shelf tag was there with a only a few random characters on it, not an item tag, and not for $19.96).
And… The Metal Art Jr. Monitor Stand, Item #27021. Priced at $18.
The UPC code on the box matches the one on the shelf tag, so there's no question that it is referring to some other item.
So, WalMart, why is this happening?
- Why does the item not simply ring up at the correct price (as shown on the shelf tag)?
- Why do your employees give false information about the correct price? Incompetence, or corporate malice, or ??
- Why can I purchase the very same item online for over $2.00 less than the shelf price ($4.00 less than what you're charging!)… ?
- … and why does is say "available RIGHT NOW for pickup!" when I select "Ship to Store"? So you KNOW that you are selling me your store inventory, cheaper than you are willing to sell it to a walk-in customer. Hm.
I guess I'll go back to Amazon. I can almost always find what I want, typically cheapest anyway, and usually with a free shipping option.
Wanting to test-drive a keyboard is one thing. I'm not going to fall for the impulse buys anymore, though.
Better Biking
In January, as promised, we bought the kids both brand new bikes. Hooray for the "selling off the excess Christmas inventory" pricing!
They both "graduated" to a pedal bike. "From what?" you ask?
Their prior bikes were modified by Papa (removing the pedals and chain) to create what is commonly called a Strider Bike or Balance Bike. The commercial version comes in a range of designs, but here are a couple of examples:
Although Jewel was 5 (and R.T. 2), neither of them had had a lot of exposure to cycling, and both were struggling. After reading about the balance bikes, we decided to ditch the training wheels approach for good.
With the balance bike, the child learns to balance on the seat, steer the bike, lean into turns, and so on. Many things that they actually learn to do incorrectly with training wheels! Since they didn't get much chance to ride until recently, our kids had their balance bikes for about two years.
With a little instruction about getting started, Jewel literally got on her bike and took off! Wow!!
R.T. took a few more laps of "hand-holding", since he was more unsure of himself. For two days (short periods each day) he fumbled along, but after that he was whizzing along with no worries.
Quite a different story from the drama I remember when I had to learn to ride without my training wheels!
I can now recommend without hesitation the balance bike method of teaching a child to ride a bicycle. And with a free or cheap second-hand bike and a few simple modifications, you don't even have to spend the money on a fancy commercial version.
P.S. Jewel now owns a couple of split skirts for bike riding, to allow her more freedom of movement (and safety) while staying modestly covered even if the wind comes up! More that just culottes, these are more inspired by the women of the Wild West. But these deserve a post of their own, so stay tuned!
Valentine Photo Sale
You may or may not be "into" Valentines. My personal sentiment is somewhat middle-of-the-road, with a slant towards non-observance.
But you know what? When the photo sites offer a great deal on a "Valentine's" card, or even a "Mother's Day" card or "Birthday" card, you can typically find a card that you can create for another use of your choice – and still get it at a great price!
So I present today's "Valentine's Day" sale offer from Snappily, which offers a really fun "animated" photo card:
(The coupon is single-use, and they are reserving the right limit quantities, so order quickly!)
Looking for Mr. Dole Whip
Have you ever had that feeling of flavor filled nostalgia?
We recently took a trip to Disney World and had a wonderful time. During all of our planning we each thought about what things we really wanted to do that would make us feel satisfied after the vacation was over. One thing on the list was to go have pineapple Dole Whip at the Tiki Room.
Well, we did have some Dole Whip at the Magic Kingdom and to our extreme satisfaction, we were able to have it 3 times. We found that the Polynesian Resort had self serve Dole Whip at one of its eateries. There we created MOUNT DOLE WHIP.
Now it's in our brain … and taste buds. We are looking for Mr. Dole Whip.
I tried a recipe tonight that left us wanting. It tasted more like pineapple ice cream. It wasn't tangy enough and was too creamy and too sweet.
The recipe used:
1 quart of pineapple juice
3 cups of whipping cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla
3 cups of sugar
and top it off with milk
The family all agreed that it was really good pineapple ice cream, but not the elusive Dole Whip.
So, the search continues. Perhaps we need to start with a sherbet or sorbet recipe?
Advent Books via Truth in the Tinsel
Advent begins on Sunday (December 2nd)!
As I've posted previously, last year I purchased the inexpensive eBook Truth in the Tinsel: An Advent Experience for Little Hands after reading a friend's recommendation on Facebook.
It's set up to be a Christmas ornament each day, but we decided to modify things a little and make each project into one page of an Advent Book. I've had several people ask me about it, so I wanted to do this follow-up post and show you what I mean.
Shown are Day #2 – Kingdom (by Jewel), and Day #3 – Zacharias (by R.T., with writing by Mama).
I had some heavier-weight paper/cardstock that we had purchased to print greeting cards. It came in four colors, and the kids decided to do multi-colored books. I think having the heavier weight (rather than just paper) is a good call, since some of the projects do have a bit of mass to them. Color is entirely a matter of preference, of course.
A gracious friend gave us some "pocket" 3-ring binders, so that they could do a piece of artwork on plain paper and just slip it in. Obviously, the options for decorating your covers are endless.
We didn't get all the way through with our Advent projects, and (as you can see) the covers need to be done as well. This year December will be VERY full, so I think finishing up the boos we started last year is a realistic plan.
This year, in addition to the eBook itself, you can purchase a set of printable ornaments from Truth in the Tinsel.
This would speed up the process, be more portable (to work on while travelling, etc.), and also help with the "flattening" if you want to do a book like we did.
However you choose to celebrate the season, I pray that you will remember to keep your focus on "the Reason for the season."
30 Days of Thankfulness – Day 30
30 Days of Thankfulness
(A reminder to do what we are commanded in Scripture.)
November 30th, 2012.
Day 30.
I am thankful for Disney helpers.
With our Disney vacation just a few days away now, I can more or less look back over the process of getting everything ready… And I realize how important my helpers were along the way. There's a lot to this planning, and people with specialized knowledge make all the difference!
I am thankful for Disney Dining's cast members.
Making most of the reservations online was simple enough, but there are always a few snags. How do I book the package with the show reservations? How do I change all of these reservations from 5 people to 4? One call to a toll-free number, and cheerful Disney folk were able to handle it all.
I am thankful for Disney Dining's gluten free policies, the special diet department, and the information they provide.
Honestly, I think I would be too overwhelmed to try a vacation like this to a place where I didn't feel comfortable about being able to get "safe" food.
I am thankful for my Disney "Earmarked" Travel Planner.
Again, I could have booked a hotel and bought tickets online myself. But I don't know which rooms have the best view, much less how to request them. And adding the Free Dining Plan after the fact? Making payments on my trip? Changing things at the last minute due to Wolf's military schedule?
Yes, I could have called Disney each time, and I'm sure the cheerful folks there would have been able to handle each request. But I can't tell you what a relief it was to have a single, knowledgeable point of contact who knew and could do everything. And there's no charge for the hand-holding – agents' commissions come out of Disney's part of the bill.
I can't speak highly enough about Chris at Pixie Vacations, so I want to share her information with you. She did not seek this promotion, and I am not receiving any compensation for it. Please do tell her As For My House sent you, so she knows how much we appreciate her!
Chris Wood

Feels good, doesn't it?

SiliconValley.com points to a transcript of keynote speech by Vanity Fair columnist Michael Wolff, where he tells a story of Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin discussing the coolness of owning your own 767 while traveling on the private jet of an unnamed billionaire. The duo also discuss the idea of Google branching off into making underwear and bras. OK then.
If that's not strange enough, you'll note that before you get to the actual transcript, the site hosting it is printing correspondence telling it to remove the transcript because of copyright issues. The site obviously disagrees.
Meanwhile, a search for wolff google shows how a similar DMCA complaint has probably gotten that same listing taken out of Google. Note the bottom of the page:
In response to a complaint we received under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint for these removed results.
The complaint, by the way, has yet to actually be posted at Chilling Effects. For more on how DMCA takedown disclosure works, see my Spam Rules Require Effective Spam Police article.
Postscript: Some background on the transcript removal is here: Michael Wolff's speech.

Any audio device has an amp. We, by saying it needs an amp, are meaning it needs it's own dedicated full size amplifier. Using a very resistive headphone (such as the HD600 or HD650, which are almost identical in function) will not sound very good without a good amount of power. The minuscule amplifier in portable devices have neither the current (amps) nor the voltage required to run such headphones as we are discussing.
Think about it this way, would you put a high performance engine in a road race car without upgrading the suspension also? You would be fast, but only in a straight line because your car couldn't handle the power or speeds with the stock suspension. In the headphone you would have the beginnings of clarity, space, timbre, but not the full signature sound.
I know everyone hates the stock ipod earbuds, but theyre the only thing I can make a comparison with...So which is louder without the amp and cranked up to full volume on the ipod, the hd600's or the ipod stock earbuds

I can't explain why, but I can say that in direct testing with lesser amps (like my old Echo indigo IO and computer audio outs), the HD600 sounded better then the HD650 with weaker amplification to me. They both benefit from high end amplification, but the HD650 really needs it to impress.post #20 of 203/10/11 at 7:36amMy reminder to OP is that everyone's ears are different. My best suggestion right now, is if comfort is number one concern for you, go to BESTBUY or wherever and try on some Grados. Heck, do that even if comfort isn't big to you.
So you should try some cans on, and I personally believe Grados is the way to go with you. Hope this helps!

Shaun Marcum out til mid-March while he works to strengthen weak shoulder.
MURPHY UPDATE: Daniel Murphy, who has been down with a strained intercostal muscle in his right side and was reportedly a week to ten days away from playing in a game, is making progress. Adam Rubin of ESPN reports that Murphy began hitting off a tee today for the first time since suffering the injury and he could be ready to appear in a Grapefruit League game in roughly a week.
WHEELER UPDATE: When it comes to pitching injuries, always bet the over. Have you seen these baseball futures odds at Top Bet? I never rely on a Mets manager for an injury diagnosis. So, forgive me if I don't totally buy into Terry Collins' declaration of Zack Wheeler's right oblique strain "is not that bad.'' Wheeler already missed one start, and the Mets' current plans have him missing at least one more. The thinking is he'll have a bullpen session Tuesday and get in a game in three more days. Of course, that's all predicated on Whe

Curves Complete
The world's largest fitness franchise goes to the Web.
You already know the Curves name and brand. There's probably one in your neighborhood. This chain of women-only gyms, promoting a quick and easy 30-minute workout, has grown to be the world's largest weight loss franchise. With 10,000 locations in nearly 60 countries, Curves is a trusted friend for women.
What makes Curves so successful is their attentiveness to and understanding of the women they serve. Whether you're a woman in the U.S., Brazil or Peru, you still have a harried schedule with kids, work, groceries and other chores. Putting your weight first isn't always the priority. And while the 30-minute workout that Curves has so successfully promoted has served thousands well, it was time to make the service even more convenient.
Curves Complete is the weight loss program associated with the Curves fitness centers. Through online tools, its doors are open 24/7, giving you greater access to information and support that will help you stay on track. Originally an online-only program, on December 26th, 2011 a new version of the program with an in-person support component was rolled out.
Curves Complete is built on three main pillars: nutrition, fitness and motivation. It's a 90-day program, with weekly meetings with other Curves Complete members and a private consultation with a weight-loss coach.
Trusted and reputable brand
Web-component and physical locations
Valuable features like meal plans, Web community and fitness instruction
Exercise and healthy diet both important factors
Quick and easy registration, which includes a brief health assessment
Weekly shopping lists
Graphical displays of your progress to goal
Recipe box
Guidance from fitness and nutritional experts
Interactive community including your own blog and message boards
- Must have access to a Curves center
"What do I get to eat?" is usually one of the more pressing questions when considering a new diet. No one wants to go hungry or give up anything. It can also be a task measuring all of those calories and fat grams and trying to determine the healthiest meal choices.
There are two phases during the 90 days, followed by a maintenance plan. During these phases participants are taught to choose lean proteins, whole grains and other healthy carbohydrates such as fruits. Healthy fats such as olive oil, nuts and fatty fish are also recommended.You will eat 1200 calories during the first phase, which is the first week of the program. For the remainder of the 90 days, you will eat about 1500 calories.
Curves Complete takes a lot of the guessing and working out of the equation. Each day, you'll select a complete meal plan for the day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks are explained with detailed nutrition information and the counts already added.
A sample of a day following the Curves Complete meal plan could be:
Breakfast- bran muffin, egg white omelet with peppers and fat-free cheddar cheese.
Lunch- Plain grilled shrimp with a green salad and oil and vinegar dressing.
Dinner- White chili with a tossed salad and fat-free red wine vinaigrette.
Snacks- cottage cheese, Wheat Tins and cantaloupe; iced coffee low-fat white cheddar cheese and Wasa crackers
Many of the meal recommendations are accompanied with a recipe, making it that much easier to plan. You're also encouraged to get plenty of fiber, drink 64 oz. of water each day and take a multi-vitamin.
EXERCISENaturally, Curves Complete incorporates working out regularly at your local Curves fitness center. Women are encouraged to work out four times per week, in addition to finding other ways to move more throughout the day. The workout consists of a circuit of machines, with platforms in between. In between exercising on a machine, you have the option of resting, stretching or adding some more cardio. You also have the option of doing the Curves circuit with Zumba, a Latin-inspired dance. The workout provides both cardio and strength training, and can be completed in as little as 30 minutes. All the machines use hydraulic resistance, which means everyone gets a workout that's appropriate for their fitness level, without needing to reset the machine or change out things like weights.
Members will also be given a pedometer, and are given a goal of 10,000 steps per day, which Curves Complete members build up to over time. Making goal and recording what you've done is also part of the program, and each night you will write down your exercise and total steps for the day.
CONCLUSIONCurves Complete really does say it all—the trusted experience of the Curves brand coupled with a comprehensive guide to weight loss. This interactive Web-based weight loss program is just the ticket to help you set a realistic goal and actually achieve it. With guidance in the way of meal planning and fitness, as well as connecting with the rest of the Curves community for additional support, you'll wonder why it hasn't always been this easy.

(Page 1 of 2, 34 total comments)Will the circuit training be enough to get my waist line back? Im around 20 pounds overweight and I swear most of it is in my waist! Will the workout be enough to get my abs in shape?
Temperature is hotter than it used to be at our Curves...is there a reason for this? I have been going to curves for a few years and the temperature use to be set at 65 degrees. Now it is set at 72 degrees. Just not as comfortable as it used to be. Has this change come from headquarters?
Since May 12, 2013 I have lost 13 lbs and it is still coming off! I LOVE the recipes and the food is great with TONS of options! I highly recommend this LIFESTYLE CHANGE! It's hardly dieting, just eating what's right and losing the weight!
So far I've lost 8 lbs in 7 weeks, the meals are higher in protein and I rarely feel hungry.
In fact some days I find myself skipping snacks and meals because I feel too full.
I like the website weekly meal planner. There is a lot of flexibility, and I feel like I am eating healthful meals that are very satisfying.

i have been a member sinc 09, it has changed my life.
You can keep the weight off!
Fantastic program. Curves in Southlake Texas has been a trememndous support system to me for weight loss. I have tried so many others and this is really working. 20 pounds down.
Curves in Lafayette Louisiana-- is Amazing and the coach helps you through the whole process ! I have never found a place so affordable that you can get all the help you need when it comes to health--
"I have completed Curves Complete once and am enrolled a second time. The product makes meal planning simple and the coaches I am working with are excellent. I have lose over 50 pounds during the 2 enrollments and am still losing. I highly recommend this program. However, keep in mind you get out of this what you put into it. It does take commitment and following the plan.
With only a few kilos to lose I have often just eaten less food to trim off the excess kilos. But that effects my metabolism and I regain weight. 2 weeks into Curves Complete I have lost cms & weight but most importantly my body composition has improved - more lean muscle, less fat. I needed the discipline to achieve GREAT results!
I just started this 2 days ago and let me tell you this is something you can easily commit to even if you've never exercised or joined a gym before! it's like a gym membership with an added motivational coach, the circut is RIDICULOUSLY easy but you can tell you're getting your heart rate up and that's what matters. I'm going to try to go 5 days a week, heck, maybe even do the circut twice in a row! it's so fun especially for a beginner. I got 60 lbs to lose and my coach at curves is gonna help me through it by motivating and making sure Istay on track. BEST PROGRAM EVER!!! it's worth every penny.

The new diet program just started fall of 2011 any of the other comments is not about the new program. There is bad management in every business. You should check out your local club and judge it for yourself not from others bad experience. Not all clubs are created equal.

Most of Sumatra is part of a geologically unstable and volcanically active island arc. Sumatra is often associated with intense volcanic and seismic activity. On December 26th 2004, a large tsunami generated by a massive earthquake (magnitude 9.4 the world's second-largest recorded earthquake) off the west coast of Sumatra caused widespread death and destruction in coastal areas bordering the Indian Ocean. It was among the deadliest natural disasters in human history with over 170,000 people killed in Sumatra.
If you are going to spend the night at the summit of mountain. take a stove so you don't need to deplete the limited supply of firewood. Depending on open fires for cooking can cause rapid deforestation. If you must light a fire, use an existing fireplace. Use only minimal, dead, fallen wood. Make sure that you totally extinguish a fire after use. Don't forget to carry all trash out with you and make sure others in your party do the same. Let's support "Responsible Tourism"!!!!

Donny Hathaway "Live" is one of the greatest live albums ever made and one of my desert island discs. I own about 1200 CDs and only carry around 24 in a wallet at one time. Donny Hathaway "Live" is a permanent resident in that wallet along with Coltrane's "A Love supreme." Unfortunately, "Live" is only available as a pricey import right now. In the liner notes to "These Songs", David Nathan writes, "fate, destiny, or the ups and downs of the biz meant the reissues never happened" when explaining why "Live" was not released domestically on CD. "These Songs" is a compilation that has some of the highlights from the original "Live" album and the posthumous "In Performance", especially "What's Going On", "You've Got a Friend", and "The Ghetto". There's much classic material missing, however. Donny's cover of "Jealous Guy" isn't here, one of my favorite tracks on that album. Willie Weeks' classic bass solo on "Voices Inside" , which shows him as an extension of Motown's James Jamerson, is also absent. From "In Performance", the live version of "Young, Gifted, and Black" is a major omission. I think those new to Donny Hathaway would have benefitted from a rerelease of "Live" with some of the unreleased material on this compilation as bonus tracks. I think collectors would have preferred a live two disc compilation with all of the available live sides or even better [please, Rhino please!

Interstate 40/I-440 repaving project in Raleigh underway this week
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The North Carolina Department of Transportation says its project to rebuild an 11 and a half mile stretch of I-40 and I-440 begins this week. Drivers will see night lane closures, which will be followed with some daytime lane closures beginning in early December.
Dubbed "Crawleigh" in anticipation of major traffic headaches for drivers, the DOT has a new website for project information.
During the first stage of the work, I-440 from the I-40, U.S. 64, and I-440 interchange, known as "the 40 split," to just north of the U.S. 64/264 Knightdale Bypass will be repaired.
The DOT said daytime lane closures for stage 2 - rebuilding I-40 - are scheduled to begin by late 2014, when crews will replace the pavement from U.S. 1/64 all the way to the I-40 split. The entire project is scheduled to wrap up by the fall of 2016.
Officials say the highway is used by about 100,000 vehicles every day. The DOT said it hopes to get about 30,000 vehicles off the road during heavy commute times by encouraging alternative routes, work schedule time shifting, and more use of public transportation.
The 30 year old highway is breaking down because of a chemical reaction triggered by water mixing with a substance used in the original paving work. The DOT says the road can't simply be patched. It must be torn up and replaced.

For instance, Sissie Sandra's responsibilities include walking Strange's dog and running errands, duties that Sandra faithfully blogs about on a site called "Sandra in Waiting." Who knew moving someone's car to avoid a street- cleaning ticket could be so erotic?
To her ladies-in-waiting, Strange is "the Princessa": a draconian ruler (they wouldn't have it any other way) whose Marie Antoinette-esque whims become the word of law. With her wide blue eyes and long wavy hair, she resembles a cupcake Glinda the Good Witch, and it's not hard to see why her pink-clad sissies have grown attached over the years.
Strange lives a charmed life. Her career began at Fantasy Makers, a fetish house in Oakland, when she was 25. Through her relationships with dedicated clients, her talents as a mistress, and sheer luck, she has fallen into a life many young dominatrices can only dream of.
She doesn't take that luck for granted. "I have been really, really lucky to establish myself with a clientele that is really devoted to me," she says. "I don't have to go out and hustle nearly as much as I did when I started out, even in this economy."
While she isn't taking new clients, Strange hasn't retired as a dominatrix just yet.
"I don't think good dommes really retire. They sort of fade away. They take their favorite clients and they go. That's probably what I'm starting to do. I haven't advertised anywhere in two years. I've taken 90 percent of my website down. But I still have my tight-knit little group of subbies and sissies."

If you're not living a BDSM lifestyle, it's unlikely that you've heard of the Exiles and the sizable contribution they have made to the San Francisco BDSM scene.
This group, an educational organization (for women) that teaches safe BDSM (between women), had several lives before becoming the organization it is today. Says Val Langmuir, co-coordinator, "The Outcasts was the name of the former group. It originated in 1984 and ceased to exist in 1997. The Exiles was founded in 1997 by former Outcasts and immediately held its first program: Guns, Knives, and Choking, Oh My."
While it appears as if these women enjoy flirting with death, hardcore BDSM is the reason the Exiles exist in the first place: they want to make sure women know how to engage in it and survive. Their classes have included controversial topics like "Brutal Affection: Punching, Kicking, Slapping, and Sex," "The Art of Hazardous Age Play," and a program educating attendees on breath play, or what Langmuir describes as "how not to kill yourself when engaging in erotic asphyxiation." Langmuir moved to San Francisco 12 years ago from London, where she protested the horrifying Spanner Operation in 1990 that saw 16 Manchester gay men arrested and thrown in jail for participating in BDSM. Since then, Langmuir has been dedicated to advocating the right to participate in BDSM.
She has been involved with the Exiles since its inception. "We have meetings in the Women's Building the third Friday of every month. Usually at each meeting, I'll see at least one new face."

The final score: 35-18.

Former child star Matthew Underwood has avoided a spell behind bars after proving he had completed the conditions of his probation in front of a judge on Friday.

The "Zoey 101" star's probation officer urged lawmakers to send the actor straight to jail, claiming he allegedly failed a drug test and ignored terms of his probation, related to a drug arrest back in 2012.

But a judge in the case has dismissed the charges, according to TMZ.com, after Underwood showed proof he's clean and sober and living up to the terms of his probation. He is still on probation for another four months.

He's the latest "kids behaving badly" Internet sensation — the student who fell asleep during a high school graduation speech by President Obama in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I mean, he's the president. How boring could it have been? Plus, wouldn't you stay awake for the simple reason that you're being filmed? Blogs all over the Internet have picked up on the dozer's sudden fame. Searches on "sleeping student" and "obama sleeping graduation" have skyrocketed. So, here's my question: If you were the parents, would you reprimand your child for being so disrespectful? I vote yes. The (hilarious) video next.

Perhaps it is the parents at fault for not ensuring the kid had sufficient sleep? It doesn't look as if the kid could help it.
Did anyone ever think that maybe the student has a medical problem. I think all the comments made about this student are rude, inappropriate. Did anyone ever thing how he feels with all this unwanted publicity

Declining take-home pay, gambling machines in Illinois bars and financial uncertainty at the federal level were among the factors to hurt business at the Wild Rose Casino and Resort last month, according to general manager Tim Bollmann.
The casino's revenue was $2.6 million in January, a 6 percent decrease when compared to revenues from January a year prior. Wild Roses's January attendance was 45,643, down 7.9 percent from the same period in 2012.
Bollmann shared the figures with the Clinton County Development Association on Wednesday. Each month the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission publishes revenue reports that detail admission, money spent and revenues from each of Iowa's casinos and racing tracks.
In January, table games generated $111,738 for the casino. Slot machines brought in $2.5 million, the lion's share of casino revenue. These revenues are down 39 percent and 8 percent compared to last January, respectively.
Bollmann cited the payroll tax holiday expiration, which left potential customers with smaller paychecks. Rising gas prices as well as concern about the federal sequester that will result in $1.2 trillion in spending cuts also contribute to declining revenues, he said.
The Wild Rose was not alone in its January losses. In total, the 18 commercial casinos in Iowa were down by $7 million. In the eastern Iowa region, only Dubuque- based Mystique saw an increase at approximately $90,000. Combined, Eastern Iowa casinos saw revenues drop by $1.5 million last month.
Illinois as a whole was down $3.7 million.
"I think it's economic pressures. People don't have disposable income and those that do are hanging on to it because they don't know what's going to happen," Bollmann said.
Video gambling machines that have recently popped up in Illinois bars have further depleted the casino's customers, Bollmann said.
So far, there are 3,300 machines in bars across Illinois. Another 22,000 bars have submitted applications for licenses that would permit them to have five machines a piece. As a result, more than 100,000 machines could be in Illinois bars before the end of the year.
"A majority of our play comes from Illinois," Bollmann said. "There's another level of competition we haven't seen in the past."
The looming legislation to ban smoking in Iowa's commercial casinos also concerns Bollmann. When the Iowa Smokefree Air Act banned smoking in restaurants, bars and places of employment, casinos were granted an exemption.
While the Senate Study Bill seeking to remove the exemption for casinos from the 2008 legislation is stalled in a subcommittee, Bollmann's still worried because of the potential impact it could have on his facility and gaming across the state. Bollmann pointed to the $2.4 billion Revel Casino in Atlantic City, N.J., which hasn't allowed smoking since it opened last April. Revel officials declared on Wednesday they would be filing for bankruptcy. He also noted $800 million Illinois casinos allegedly lost in the three years following that state's smoking ban being implemented in 2008.
"We all saw what happened to Illinois and now Atlantic City when smoking is taken out of your business. So hopefully it won't happen," Bollmann said.
