Great product!
By Yvonne (PLAINVIEW, TX)
I love the cookware! Although I ordered the coral color & online it looked like an orange color, when I took them out of the box it looks more like a pink color ??. I'm only disappointed in that, but the product is great!

These are the best set of pans I ever cooked in. I plan on purchasing another set soon. I highly recommend Paula's products. I just wish she would come back on TV. I really miss her cooking shows.

I've not gotten to use it much yet as I put it in a new home. I love it and my friends that have some of Paula's cookware love theirs too. I can't wait for it to be my everyday cookware! Will definitely be buying more products with Paula's name on it now that I know the quality

Monday, Ruben Amaro said that Cliff Lee's elbow-flexor strain was 'improving', but that he wasn't ready to throw again, yet. Today, Amaro spoke with Philly.com's Ryan Lawrence, and updated his thought's on Lee.
"It could be up to a month, it could be a month and a half, it could be 3 weeks," Amaro said. "I have no idea when the guy is going to be ready to pitch. I really don't. I would think it be sooner rather than later, but I have no timetable until he's up and throwing again."
In his article, Lawrence said that Lee was scheduled to be re-evaluated by team doctors sometime today, which contradicted what CSN's Jim Salisbury said on Monday, when he said Lee would be re-evaluated in three days. I'm not a great math student, but unless something changed from Salisbury's report, that would put Lee in the doc's office tomorrow, not today. Lawrence pointed out to me that as of 10 P.M. EST, he didn't have a Lee update, and it really didn't matter.
@Sec215 there is nothing new to report. I'd just be patient, he's not going to be back for a few weeks, at earliest.
— Ryan Lawrence (@ryanlawrence21) May 29, 2014
While we know nothing new about Lee, we are getting more and more ominous suggestions on the timetable for Lee's return.
Tomorrow, I will breakdown his once-promising trade-value.

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo turned more than a few heads last night at a televised election debate held in Buffalo, New York, when he said that the state's long awaited public release of its scientific and health analysis of fracking would be done by the end of the year. This, the only planned debate of the campaign, included Republican Candidate Rob Astorino, Green Candidate Howie Hawkins, and Libertarian Candidate Michael McDermott.
Astorino, the Westchester County Executive, aggressively supports fracking in New York because of what he characterizes as a "positive impact" on jobs and "economic development" in the state. He completely dismisses the environmental consequences. Astorino said that one of the "first acts of his administration" would be to kick down the regulatory doors so that fracking and extraction can begin immediately. Both Green candidate Hawkins and Libertarian Candidate McDermott would ban fracking because, they both agree, the science is in and the health consequences are clear.
The analysis that Cuomo spoke about has been at the center of attention and controversy since the state issued a series of Draft Environmental Impact Statements starting in 2011, and received a tidal wave of public comments focusing on the idiocy of opening up the state to the dangerous fracking industry. Initially Cuomo had promised that the analysis would be completed and released before the initial public comment period but backed down. It has been widely speculated that several generations of both reports indicate that fracking is not a scientifically provable safe technology. The educated public knows that fracking is not safe to water supplies and human health. Subsequently Cuomo promised the release of the reports prior to this election. The reports have not been released and 10's of thousands of New York citizens have bitterly criticized the lack of transparency involved in the creation of the health and science analyses.
"I am not a scientist" Cuomo, who is a lawyer, stated at the debate, "We have to let the scientists decide this issue." This may be an entirely disingenuous position, as the fracking debate in New York has been characterized by industry and state government viewpoints that include scientists for hire, academic investments by state funded institutions of higher learning, and well funded disinformation campaigns. We have known that the state decision would not be made until after this election. We have been waiting for the release of the reports. Now we know that if Cuomo wins the election, he says that they will be released by the end of the year.
After that?

The Pittsburgh Steelers have chosen to hire ex Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak to be their new offensive line coach and Munchak has agreed to the contract. Before agreeing with the Steelers he was for three seasons Titans head coach. Before accepting the offer there were other franchises that were interested in hiring him on their coaching staff and had interviews with him on that matter.
The Houston Texans were one of the franchises that were interested in landing him on their side and Munchak had talks with him about hiring as offensive line coach. Before Munchak, Jack Bicknell Jr. was the Steelers offensive line coach. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin got rid of him after just a year with the team.
The Cleveland Browns and Munchak had talks about a coaching stint too but that was about the head coach job. For the Steelers this is very good news and a wise decision on behalf of the franchise. After having several interviews they have been successful in landing Munchak on their team and he happens to be rated as the best offensive line coach in entire NFL.
They desperately needed a good offensive coach to get things going for them. Their offensive line performance is simply terrible and is rated as one of the worst in NFL. Much of that has been compensated by their starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger who has called the plays with sensible intelligence and got their offense running. But with Munchak on as their new offensive line coach, he will definitely up the offense.
He played as an offensive guard for the Houston Oilers and was the 8th overall pick in the first round of NFL 1982 Draft. He had a hall of fame career in which he made it to the Pro Bowl nine times.
Having Munchak will be a huge asset to the Steelers as they will not only get to revamp the offense but also get to make the team stronger in general. With their center Maurice Maurkice Pouncey on the mend and coming back next year from his torn ACL, they will get another boost and with Roethlisberger already giving a good performance, their game next season will be noticeably improved.

Elam Luddington, Jr. (also spelled Ludington) (November 23, 1806 – March 22, 1893) was a Mormon pioneer and was the first missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) to preach in Thailand.
Jacob Vernon Hamblin (April 2, 1819 – August 31, 1886) was a Western pioneer, Mormon missionary, and diplomat to various Native American tribes of the Southwest and Great Basin. He aided European-American settlement of large areas of southern Utah and northern Arizona, where he was seen as an honest broker between Mormon settlers and the Natives. He is sometimes referred to as the "Buckskin Apostle," or the "Apostle to the Lamanites."
Canute Peterson (also Knud Peterson) (May 13, 1824 – October 14, 1902) was a Mormon pioneer settler of Utah Territory and was a leader in LDS Church.
Thomas Bullock (December 23, 1816 – February 10, 1885) was a Mormon pioneer and a clerk in the Church Historian's Office of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Jonatana Napela or Jonathan Hawaii Napela (first name also spelled Iohatana, full name Napelakapuonamahanaonaleleonalani) (1813–1879) was one of the earliest Latter-day Saint converts in Hawaii. He helped translate the Book of Mormon into Hawaiian with George Q. Cannon.
Joseph Angell Young (October 14, 1834 – August 5, 1875) was an apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Young is one of the few Latter-day Saints in history to have been ordained to the office of apostle without ever becoming a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles or the First Presidency of the church.

The commons problem also explains why health care costs have and are escalating. Becaujse health care is paid by third parties (government and employers/insurance companies) we patients think is is free and want as much as we can get. Providers are glad to oblige and come up with ever more costly ways to provide what patients want. Third parties, (particularly government politicians), have no real way to resist.

Had to get the purchase order signed off by today (so no ebay etc) so just went for the 111. Its not wireless though. Hope their good enough.
Plexor: The axis looks good, but too late for me
Sorry The Axis is very good wired and wireless, pir sensor and high power white led.
No worries.
If the panasonics are crap Ill just send them back hopefully.
How did you find the panasonics in the end? I'm looking at the Axis ones but the pannys are cheaper.
the panasonics are great. They do exactly what we want them to do, the motion detection and then email the snaps is working great. Can log in to one and watch the stream from them both in the one window.. Dont have them recording just now, they just email stills every 30 secs on motion detection (configured from the built in interface), but they supply software you can install which will do recording etc..
Also, from where I have them, the pan and tilt works grreat and covers all angles I need.. I dont think they have a zoom though, but we have used them in each of our server rooms wich arent exactly massive anwyay
I never got this, enlighten me. Who on earth would steal a bunc of servers? I have never read of an incident where someone broke in a business or data center to steal some racks. I mean sure, banks and whatnot will have some very sensitive information on there, but it should be encrypted anyway....
Anyway I would probably go with one of those Wlan security cams, a half decent one can be had for around 150$
If you have an Ubuntu server running you could run the 'motion' daemon with a cheap webcam.
It can track movement & email with an attached image of the intruder.
Also you can access the live stream
We bought 2 of these to replace our panasonics,
Compro IP70 IP Megapixel/HD H.264 IP Network CCTV.. | Ebuyer.com
They produce a very clear image and even has night vision on them but there is an alternative without night vision:
Compro IP60 Intelligent Megapixel HD Network Camera | Ebuyer.com
I kinda like the way you can record to a Micro Card.

I saw another shooting star last night. The colors illuminated from orange, red, then to blue. The tail cascaded like a ribbon, tying my wish to you. Like the red string around our fingers, connecting us forever; a bond you cannot see, but one you can certainly feel. They do say, after all, that what may be invisible to the eye, may be almost blinding for the heart. This is what such omens mean to me. I hope they mean the same thing to you too.

That's right... another damn birthday party at the Big Fish Pub. What makes this one so special? Victor is finally going to admit that he is no longer "29 and holding." After nearly a decade of insisting he is 29, he has, reluctantly, agreed to have his 30th birthday. The best reason to attend this event is the awesome line-up of bands that will be performing. Universal Apocalypse In Memory Of Fatal Error Eighth Day I Dont Konform L.V.D. ST8 48 Special Guest Appearance by the one of the Pub's dear friends: Johnny Lee (Playing all night in between sets) There will be two newcomers to the Pub: ST8 48 and Universal Apocalypse. We can't wait to see them live. One listen to their music and we knew we had to have them on the show. In Memory Of, Fatal Error, Eighth Day, L.V.D. and I don't Konform were asked to play by special invitation because they are some of Victor's favorite bands.... and because they are AWESOME!!

Treadmill Desk and Bike Desk Reviews
Bringing Activity Back to the Workplace with a Treadmill DeskJune 26, 2014
Kim Insley, reporter for Minneapolis's Kare 11 Sunrise, talks about sitting disease. She highlights Dairy Queen and their employees, Heather Peters and Craig Bader that use LifeSpan Treadmill Desks as a way to exercise at work. "You can really accomplish a lot of work at the same time as walking," said Peters. "And it really helps you get through those more tedious tasks."
The idea of adding movement into the workday is not only helping individuals but helping company's reduce their healthcare costs. Insley interviews Steven Benton, M.D., who talks about sitting all day and the toll on your health. "We're not intended to be still all the day long," said Benton. Dairy Queen is renovating their offices to build out their wellness program in order to make their employees healthier, while also using their wellness program as a recruitment tool.Full Article
Ditch Your Office Chair and Replace it with a Standing DeskJune 2, 2014
Gregory Ferenstein, writer for The Daily Beast, talks about ditching his office chair and never looking back. While feeling healthier and more productive, he's noticed that he no longer suffers from cramping legs and back. "Humans do not actually need to sit much; our six-pack-brandishing tribal counterparts cover 15 to 20 miles a day on average," said Ferenstein.
On his quest to no longer sit in the office Ferenstein reviews various standing desks, one of which is a LifeSpan Treadmill Desk. One of his biggest takeaways: the improvement of employer satisfaction and physical activity. "I burn 300-600 more calories a day than I would by sitting, and I improve my overall fitness," said Ferenstein. Not only is he a big fan in general, but he notices the boost in productivity and brain function.Full Article
Work Out at Work with a LifeSpan Treadmill DeskMarch 9, 2014
Alice Miller from The Missoulian, interviews Quentin Rhoades, a Missoula lawyer, and Jennifer Straughan from the Montana Radio Company. They both have been walking and working for over a year now. Rhoades says "It surprised me how easy it is… I've noticed that I'm more productive. I'm not sure that it makes me more fit, although it can't be bad for you in that perspective."
Miller covers how it can be difficult getting people to choose a treadmill desk. She interviews Ron Veilleux, owner of MT ErgoFit and retailer of LifeSpan Treadmill Desks. He has been trying to supply more people with these desks since 2010. "People tend to associate sweaty runners with treadmills, when in fact, the treadmill desks move at between 1.5 and 2 mph," Veilleux said. "The thing we hear the most is how they feel when they go home at the end of the day."Full Article
Why it's Worth Your Employer's Money to Buy Everyone a Treadmill DeskMarch 7, 2014
A must read from TechCrunch! Gregory Ferenstein, owner of a LifeSpan Treadmill Desk, researches how desk jobs are slowly killing us. He also covers the new study on the impact of treadmill desks on workplace productivity. "The results suggest that the introduction of treadmill workstations, as hypothesized, has a significantly favorable impact on both physical activity and work performance," the research team concludes. "It seems that companies ought to consider making treadmill workstations available to their sedentary employees."
Ferenstein's story breaks down why it is worth your employer's money to invest in treadmill desks. From the benefits of added productivity, to the reduction in healthcare costs and sick days, he states that the "cost of treadmill per employee equation, it makes perfect sense." Gregory states that he loves his treadmill desk and walks about 5 hours a day and truly believes "it's worth employers to outfit their entire office with treadmill desks."Full Article
Walking to Better Health with a Treadmill DeskMarch 5, 2014
My San Antonio reporter, Emily Spicer, wrote about creating a healthier workplace. As part of her research, she tests a LifeSpan Treadmill Desk for a month. She gives continual updates on her progress, from her initial impressions of trying each task for the first time, to simply making it part of her daily routine. On day three she says, "At first, my thoughts were preoccupied with clever comebacks to the "good-natured" taunts my cynical co-workers threw my way… And then today: I am making others feel guilty! "Fine, I'll walk my dog more often," a co-worker JUST SAID as I was writing this."
Spicer gives a great overview of integrating walking into your everyday work life. On day five she points out that she is walking 4 to 5 miles a day and is able to perform daily tasks, such as typing, surfing the web, and talking on the phone with consistent productivity. Day 11 she says "I am officially skinnier. FOR REALS! My clothes are noticeably looser thanks to the Lifespan TR1200-DT5 Treadmill Desk." When she talks about using the LifeSpan Treadmill Desk for 3 1/2 weeks, she says "My clothes are looser, and I have not changed my diet. I feel like I have more energy and am more alert and focused during the workday. I feel taller, too, because I'm not sitting hunched over a keypad, and my posture seems to have improved — and the nagging little tweak in the lower right of my back is worlds better." In the end, Spicer purchases the LifeSpan Treadmill Desk, because she enjoys it so much.Full Article
Making Your Office More Ergo with a Treadmill DeskMarch 1, 2014
Rebecca Edwards, author at Celebrate Hilton Head, quickly learned the value of workplace activity when her neck pain became unbearable. Believing that her discomfort may have stemmed from her office environment, she interviewed Dr. Kelley LeBlanc, a well-educated chiropractor. LeBlanc determined that the source of Rebecca's issues may be her sedentary office culture. "I would say that back muscle spasm due to extended sitting, either at a desk or in a car, is the root of back pain in about 20-30 percent of my acute low back pain patients," Leblanc said.
Rebecca urges readers to stop the pain by being more ergonomically friendly, giving suggestions for workplace improvements. One of these suggestions is a LifeSpan Treadmill Desk that can help to minimize back pain and maximize fat-burning abilities.Full Article
Could a Treadmill Desk Help Cure Sitting Disease?February 8, 2014
Stephanie Steinberg from U.S. News reviews the research of sedentary disease and tests out a LifeSpan Treadmill Desk. She speaks to James Levine, the director of Obesity Solutions at Mayo Clinic and a Treadmill Desk expert. "It takes a couple weeks [to adjust], but after their first two weeks, stress levels progressively start to decline," he said. "Once people have the hang of it they're good to go."
Steinberg also interviews Kimberly Castro, who is the U.S. News managing editor and uses a LifeSpan Treadmill Desk regularly. "I found myself extremely zoned in while checking email or editing a story. There's a meditative quality to walking that helped me stay relaxed and centered," Castro said, of her treadmill desk experience. "I also felt the time go by very quickly. An hour on the treadmill felt like a mere 20 minutes." With more oxygen flowing to the brain, it's normal for people to see an increase in productivity. Susan Orlean, from The New Yorker, confirms much of the same. She is a LifeSpan Treadmill desk convert and walks about five to six hours a day.Full Article
Walking on a LifeSpan Treadmill Desk Could Add Years to Your LifeFebruary 2, 2014
Kelli Stegeman, news anchor for FOX Florida, interviews Dr. Ron Garry as he works on his LifeSpan Treadmill Desk. They discuss the hazards of long-term sitting and chat about the personal changes Dr. Garry has noticed since he began walking and working, such as losing weight and improved posture.

Kelli also interviewed Dr. Andrew Singh from Lee Memorial Health Systems. Singh actively works to improve the health of corporate employees. He speaks favorably about the benefits of companies installing LifeSpan Treadmill Desks in their office space. "Not only can you improve the health of your employees, you can have employees more productive, you can have happier employees," he says. Full Article
LifeSpan Treadmill Desks and the Benefits of Activity in the WorkplaceJanuary 30, 2014
Laurel Struck, a Graphic Designer and Marketing professional, has spent too many years sitting and has felt the pains of them all. "After kids, it was hard losing the weight and it was hard to find time to be physically active. In my particular job, it is hard to get a walk in over the lunch hour or to take a break," Struck said. "I'm immersed in the medical, nutrition and sports medicine world… and yet I sit all day." She started her company's wellness program and has become much more aware of the problems sitting all day can cause, now she is doing something about it.
After walking and working on her LifeSpan Treadmill Desk, Struck believes she's a more effective employee. "I am more efficient. I have more oxygen to my brain. I am happier. I am less tense," she said. "Things just roll off my back a little bit easier. How do you put a price tag on that?" She not only reviews all the benefits of activity in the workplace, but the common discomforts of a sedentary job and statistics on how much companies lose annually in productivity due to stress related injuries.
Walking While Working: Treadmill Desks Installed for 911 Dispatchers - FOX4January 7, 2014
In Kansas City, the Johnson County Communications Center, fields the 911 emergency calls. "We don't really get a lot of breaks to get up and walk around; we're pretty much stuck at our consoles," said Heather Beabout, a 911 dispatcher. They have found that treadmill desks are a great resource when working long shifts, especially through the night.
The dispatch center has invested in four LifeSpan Treadmill Desks and believe they are worth it. "Is it a good value? Are they worth the investment? What good would they actually do? And all of that research led to the conclusion that yes, they're well worth it," Erickson said. "We have had dispatchers that have actually died in their chair here at work. We don`t want that to happen ever again."Watch Full Video
Getting Started with Your Treadmill Desk - Chicago BusinessJanuary 6, 2014
Dan Rubinstein is an at home journalist who uses daily runs to juggle deadlines and home life. He ordered a LifeSpan TR1200-DT5 to help him stay slim, sane, hit deadlines and fight sitting disease. When the treadmill desk arrived he wondered how much work he'd get done at 2.5 MPH. Within the first day he noticed work is easy to complete and he didn't hit the afternoon lag, even working through the typical coffee break and short afternoon run.
He notices office tasks aren't difficult, and even takes his phone interviews while walking. "Like Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Joanna Coles, I'm a convert," Rubinstein said. However he does think he'll still sit for the occasional office task.Full Article
Walking at Work on a LifeSpan Treadmill Desk - WiredJanuary 2, 2014
WIRED writer Mat Honan, explores walking and working on the LifeSpan Treadmill Desk for the month of December. He highlights the display features such as time, distance, speed, steps taken, and calories burned while walking. "I also noticed that everyone wanted to try the desk. People still laughed at me, but then they asked if they could try it," said Honan. Included in the people who loved checking it out was Mike Calore, their tall Gadget Lab editor. Mat points out that it is easy and fun to goof around on, but an overall cool gadget.
After a little getting used to and warming up to the desk the experience was positive. "I lost three pounds during the month of December—during a time when I gorged on holiday food and candy and, aside from two lonely bike rides, made a point of not exercising in any way, shape or form whenever I wasn't on my treadmill desk. I genuinely felt better at the end of most days too. It was a great experience in weight loss and health," said Honan.Full Article
I Tried it: Treadmill Desk - San Diego MagazineDecember 30, 2013
San Diego Magazine writer, Erin Meanley, watched a TedXSanDiego video that put things into perspective on sedentary lifestyles being the new smoking. "Nowadays people are sitting 9.3 hours a day, which is more than we're sleeping, at 7.7 hours," said speaker Nilofer Merchant. Meanley walked back to work that day and then decided to purchase a LifeSpan TR1200-DT5 Treadmill Desk. She noticed right away that tasks come naturally and she was able to complete all of her normal workload with ease.
"My posture improved. I wasn't snacking at my desk or staring out the window idly. And this is the argument that, more than saving on health costs and absenteeism, will get employers—it's the productivity! Spacing out is easy when you're slumping in a chair. But when your body is in motion, your hands and mind naturally have to keep up," said Meanley. She did notice she was getting sore and started incorporating bigger shoes, inserts, and stretched her calves. Overall she is taking a more conscious approach, "I've recently begun measuring my sitting times," said Meanley. That is the main goal, for all of us to be more conscious of our bodies and making physical activity a part of our daily routine.Full Article
Getting Your Body Moving with a Treadmill Desk - University of Michigan Health SystemsDecember 30, 2013
University of Michigan (U of M) is adding treadmill desks into their offices to keep employees moving. U of M writer, Caroline R. Richardson, writes about racking up the benefits of a treadmill desk, one step at a time. "I like the fact that I can exercise on the job — while on a conference call or doing computer-related work," said Richardson.

Make sure to ease into the use of a treadmill desk, keeping in mind that excessive use right away can cause stress to the body.Full Article
No More Office Chairs - Fox BusinessDecember 27, 2013
FOX Business's Connell McShane interviews LifeSpan's President, Peter Schenk. Schenk speaks about the line of products and how they work. "A lot of people have said for years that instead of just sitting around your desk all day, and that has become a problem in many offices. You should get up more, you should walk around, you know do some work on the move if you can or at least just stand at your desk," McShane said.
Schenk discusses how the treadmill desk is easy to use and regular office tasks are a quick learning curve. Which explains why companies such as Nike, Google, Microsoft, William Morris, and Universities like Baylor, Pennsylvania State, and Harvard use the desks to get their employees more active.Watch Full Video
Burning Calories with a Treadmill Desk - RedbookDecember 12, 2013
When Kelly Osbourne walked into her agent's office at William Morris, she noticed something new, a whole group of people working on treadmill desks. "I was surprised by how comfortable they looked while walking, talking, typing—all at the same time," said Osbourne. The new fitness writer for Redbook Magazine had to try one, so she got the LifeSpan Treadmill Desk in her apartment.
"Now I'm convinced these desks might be the solution to what some experts refer to as sitting disease; it's called a disease because there are very real consequences," says Osbourne. She shares statistics from people who sit a majority of the time have a 112% increase in diabetes and 147% increase in cardiovascular disease. When Osbourne spoke of her experience on her LifeSpan Treadmill Desk she said, "I even found that the repetitive motion helped me focus. Really, though, it doesn't matter how you stay active, as long as you keep moving."Full Article

Treadmill Desks Growing in Popularity - THV 11November 5, 2013
As managing partner of a law firm, Keelin Kavanagh tended to spend 15 hours a day at her desk. To fix her sedentary lifestyle she purchased a LifeSpan Treadmill Desk. "You can almost do anything while walking at the one mile an hour pace." She walks between one and two and a half miles an hour while reading, emailing, and talking on the phone. Cardiologist Alan Rozanski says, "Sitting all day, getting no physical activity is equivalent to smoking. It's that big of a risk."
He recommends using a pedometer to count steps, just as he does, highlighting that the American Heart Association recommends 10,000 steps a day.
Rozanski also points out that inactivity can lead to weight gain, diabetes, neck/back pain, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and other health conditions. LifeSpan, a leading retailer of the desks, says its sales have tripled in the last year to customers including Google and Nike.Watch Full Video

LifeSpan president Peter Schenk said in an interview with BuzzFeed, "Our biggest growth I can say in the last six months has been more from Fortune 200 companies than it has been from smaller companies."Full Article
An Editor Works Out His Body Issues with a Treadmill Desk - ReadWriteAugust 1, 2013
ReadWrite Editor-in-Chief Owen Thomas had a mission to become healthier, publically, in four months, during the holiday season. He does this by combining eating, exercising, and walking on a LifeSpan treadmill desk at work. Thomas walks about 10 miles a day while working and getting all his daily tasks complete.
"I am, as it happens, on a literal treadmill—a treadmill desk… I can hit "pause" and hop off anytime. But I don't want to," said Thomas. Over the four months he loses weight and has increased energy. Mostly Thomas is happier to work his way to an overall healthier lifestyle. "I carry on, one foot in front of the other on the treadmill. I've walked another two miles while drafting this post," said Thomas.Full Article
Is Sitting the New Smoking? - CBSPittsburghJuly 22, 2013
CBS Pittsburgh reporter, Susan Koeppen, explores the negative effects of sitting all day. In her interviews she speaks to Justin Santi, Carol Morse, and Patrick Joula about their experiences of sitting all day at work and gaining weight. She found that on average people spend 64 hours a week sitting, and 41% of Americans experience weight gain at work. "Some experts are calling sitting the new smoking. It's bad for our health and employees are doing just about everything to stay fit on the job," said Koeppen.
The interviewees work at Highmark, a company that believes in the health of its employees and promotes taking the stairs instead of the elevator, balance balls instead of chairs, a foot cycle under the desk, and walking on LifeSpan Treadmill Desks. "It's marvelous, it's fantastic," said Joula. Highmark invested in treadmill desks after hearing about them in offices such as Jimmy Kimmel's or Google, they have found them to improve employee health without affecting work performance.

Working From Home with a Treadmill Desk - BentleyHokeJuly 11, 2013
Bentley Hoke's principal, Brian Hoke suggested a present from his family for the holidays. "My (self-selected) gift from my wife and children this past Christmas was a treadmill desk – specifically, a LifeSpan TR1200-DT5 – that I've been using just about every day since," said Hoke. Working from a home office and developing websites he is able to perform all of his normal tasks walking between 1-2 mph.
Hoke has noticed several benefits and says it is great being able to get some physical activity into his day. "The cost for the treadmill desk I have is not inconsiderable (but not much beyond what one might spend on a good non-desk treadmill) but, in my opinion, well worth it; I've lost about 12 pounds since using it," said Hoke "I would recommend it highly."Full Article

The Ultimate Health Tool - Renegade HealthJanuary 23, 2013
Renegade Health writer Kevin Gianni writes about his new LifeSpan Treadmill Desk after becoming concerned with the amount of time he was sitting. He learned about it at an invite-only health industry event. He purchased the LifeSpan TR1200-DT5 right away. "I love this thing and continue to use it. It's now part of my routine. I most likely won't use is as much as I did in the beginning, but I don't see going back to a regular desk full time ever again. I've recommended it to just about everyone I know. Some have even gone out and purchased one of their own," said Gianni.

Performing all the daily tasks while still being physically active was exactly what Gianni had been looking for. Walking an average of 4.26 miles per weekday and is hoping to purchase more for their office saying it is a "total gamechanger."Full Article
Walking While Working: Should You Try a Treadmill Desk? - Popular MechanicsOctober 3, 2012
Scott Neumyer, reporter for Popular Mechanics reviews the LifeSpan TR1200-DT5 Treadmill Desk. "What better way to extend your lifespan than walking all day at a slow pace (usually between 0.8 and 1.2 miles per hour) while you tap away at your keyboard," said Neumyer. Once his LifeSpan desk arrives he gets moving and reviews every feature, highlighting the good, bad, and giving final takeaway points.
As for the good he commends the sturdy machine, desktop space, foam armrest, height-adjustable desk, large walking surface on the treadmill, and how quiet it runs. "It might take a few days to get accustomed to walking while your fingers and eyes do your work, but after those first couple days on the treadmill desk, you barely even know you're walking anymore," he said. As for the downsides to the desk he talks about its size, using a trackpad, and minor sweat while walking. For the final note Neumyer says "The transition to a treadmill (or even a standing desk) will leave you more energized, refreshed, and ready to tackle a hard day's work. It's not the perfect solution, but it's certainly a step toward a healthier, happier you."Full Article
How I Keep My Job From Killing Me with a Treadmill Desk - Inc.Aug 24, 2012

In his final conclusion of walking at work he says "Hmm: Longer life expectancy. Improved fitness. Smarter. Better circulation. Lower risk of heart disease and diabetes. All that and you can lose weight. Now tell me walking while you work isn't worth changing a few of your work habits and working through the short adjustment period."Full Article

Mashable reporter Chris Taylor was struck when he learned of the LifeSpan Treadmill Desk. "Every so often, a tech product comes along that has the potential to change your life. Not in the way people say a smartphone or tablet changes their lives, but literally — remove pounds, increase energy, maybe add years to your life expectancy — all during your working hours," said Taylor. Mashable has installed LifeSpan desks in their New York and San Francisco offices, giving their employees the chance to be more active at work.
"The early treadmill desk adopters, in our experience, are the ones who will keep returning to it. With us, I think, it's like a switch has flipped in our minds. We relish walking while working," said Taylor. He reflects on both offices walking with enthusiasm while also looking over their beautiful city views. The only one unsure of the treadmill desk in the office is the office dog Franklin.Full Article

The "boo"--in the way of costumes and decorations--is traditional. The hiss? That's the sound emanating from the Madagascar hissing cockroaches, aka "hissers."
This all will happen from 1 to 4 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 27 at the Bohart Museum on the UC Davis campus. The museum is located in Room 1124 of Academic Surge, Crocker Lane (formerly California Drive).
The event is free and open to the public. Wear a Halloween costume! Ghouls just love to have fun---but so do ghosts and goblins.
The theme, "Insects and Death," focuses on forensic entomology. UC Davis forensic entomologist Robert Kimsey of the Department of Entomology will be on hand to answer questions about insects as decomposers, and why they're important.
Bohart Museum officials also will correct myths about "deadly" insects and "creepy crawlers."
"House flies and mosquitoes cause more human deaths than all other insects combined," said Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum and professor of entomology at the UC Davis Department of Entomology.
In addition to the hissers, other live attractions at the open house will be walking sticks and a rose-haired tarantula.
Carved pumpkins, with an insect motif, will decorate the museum.
Over at the gift shop, you can purchase jewelry, T-shirts, sweatshirts, posters, and "entomological" candy. Especially popular around Halloween are scorpion-themed lollipops, chocolate-covered insects and flavored mealworms.
The Bohart Museum, founded in 1946 by noted entomologist Richard M. Bohart (1913-2007), is the home of more than seven million insect specimens. More information is available on the Bohart website at or by contacting Tabatha Yang at firstname.lastname@example.com or (530) 752-0493.
It's almost time for Halloween, when all self-respecting little ghosts, goblins and ghouls take a special interest in spiders.
We saw this little jumping spider (below) on a pink rose. It doesn't look like it could scare anything--except for maybe a sweat bee or hover fly.
This year the Explorit Science Center of Davis, a hands-on science museum located at 3141 5th St., is taking a special interest in spiders.
The center is sponsoring a number of programs on these critters and posted "Facts About Spiders" on its website.
For one thing, many people think spiders are insects. They're not.
Both spiders and insects are invertebrates, but spiders are not insects.
Insects have a head, thorax and abdomen, and the thorax has three pairs of legs. They also eyes, antennae and mouthparts, the Explorit Science Center website points out. "The entire body is protected by a tough outer covering called an exoskeleton. Animals that share these characteristics are called insects. The group to which they belong is called the Insecta."
Spiders, as the Explorit Science Center explains, have two main body parts. "The body consists of a combined head and thorax called the cephalothorax, and the abdomen. The cephalothorax has the eyes, mouthparts (no antennae) and four pairs of legs. Animals that share these characteristics include ticks, mites, scorpions and spiders. The group is called the Arachnida."
And speaking of spiders, schooolchildren visiting the Bohart Museum of Entomology on the UC Davis campus occasionally ask to "see the spiders." The Bohart is an insect museum (although the officials have been known to showcase a few spiders, too.)
Mark your calendar for Saturday, Oct. 27 for the Bohart's public open house from 1 to 4 p.m. in 1124 Academic Surge on Crocker Drive (nearest intersection is LaRue Road.) This is a pre-Halloween open house and there definitely will be assorted spiders at the insect museum!
If you're trying to rear some Gulf Fritillary caterpillars on your passion flower vine, but the caterpillars seem to be doing a disappearing act, check the leaves.
You might find some assassin bug nymphs.
They look like little cartoon characters as they prowl the leaves, looking for prey.
That prey includes caterpillars.
These assassin bug nymphs, as identified by Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, are memorable. The nymphs (family Reduviidae and genus Zelus) on our Passiflora have beady eyes, narrow necks, needlelike beaks, long legs, and I swear, a perennial quizzical look. They're beneficial insects when they eat leafhoppers, aphids and other pests. They're good to have in your garden.
They're not so beneficial when they eat other beneficial insects like lacewings.
Or, when they eat the larvae stages of Gulf Fritillaries (Agraulis vanillae)--if you're trying to rear a few of these beautiful reddish-orange butterflies.
We've seen adult assassin bugs grab spotted cucumber beetles, inject a lethal saliva, and then suck their bodily fluids with their long feeding tube (rostrum).
We haven't seen one actually prey on a Gulf Frit caterpillar, though.
The folks at the Bohart Museum of Entomology, UC Davis,call them "jungle gems."
And "gems" they are.
They're New World orchid bees (Euglossine bees), which museum director Lynn Kimsey, professor of entomology at UC Davis, describes as "the most beautiful bees in the world."
They were recently featured at a Bohart Museum open house.
A sign next to them read: "They pollinate orchids. They also probably have the best memory of any insect. The males memorize the location of all the orchid plants in their patch of forest and visit them periodically during the day."
The "jungle gems" are just a few of the treasures that visitors can see at the Bohart Museum, located in Room 1124 of Academic Surge. The building is on Crocker Avenue (formerly California Avenue). The nearest intersection is LaRue Road.
The Bohart houses a global collection of more than seven million insect specimens and is the seventh largest insect collection in North America. It is also the home of the California Insect Survey, a storehouse of the insect biodiversity. Noted entomologist Richard M. Bohart (1913-2007) founded the museum in 1946.
The Bohart is open to the public from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday. It is closed to the public on Fridays and on major holidays. Admission is free.
To allow more visitors to attend, the museum holds a weekend open house once a month. The next weekend open house is set from 1 to 4 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 27. The theme, in keeping with Halloween, is "Insects of Death."
Stay tuned on what's planned!
Oh, the life of a praying mantis...
You can hang upside down like an acrobat, shading yourself from the sun while waiting for prey and avoiding predators. You can crawl beneath dense leaves, the better to ambush, snatch and eat an unsuspecting bee. And you can mate with a fine-looking specimen like yourself and produce some more fine-looking specimens.
Life doesn't get any better than this if you're a praying mantis. (Unless, of course, you're a male mantid and the female practices sexual cannibalism. Or, if you're a newly emerged offspring and your brothers and sisters are feasting on one another and then...eyeing you.)
Finding praying mantids is not so easy. Sometimes the slightest movement in the leaves will reveal their location. Sometimes when you water a plant, they'll emerge, looking quite irritated--if mantids can look irritated. Other times they're blatantly perched on top of a blossom or lurking beneath it.
Up until recently, we'd never actually seen them mating. But there they were that warm midsummer day on Sept. 17 in the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven doing just that. See, the praying mantids like to hang out in the bee garden because that's where the bees are. The half-acre garden is located next to bee research hives at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on Bee Biology Road, University of California, Davis.
Ah, we thought, a "lover-ly" photo to add to the educational collection of Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis.
So, we took a few photos, being careful not to interrupt them.
If this were a documentary being filmed about the birds 'n the bees, can't you just hear it? The Cole Porter hit, "Let's Do It," softly playing in the background:
...And that's why birds do it
Bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
All the while, the Cleveland or blue sage (Clevelandi salvia) stirs with life. A hummingbird, honey bees and carpenter bees drop down to investigate the blossoms and sip a little nectar. A garden spider patrols its sticky web. A scared lizard darts into the shadows.
Ants lumber by with their heavy loads. No sign of any "educated fleas," though.

Rich Dad,Poor Dad; A Must read!
Every one of us needs information: not just any information but the one that will push us a notch higher rather than lower. This information can be got from a range of sources,in my case it was this particular book. A couple of friends of mine had asked me time and time again if i had read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and reluctantly i had told them i hadn't. One morning this week,i was seated in a taxi waiting for it to fill when this guy carrying a range of books for sell just passed by my side and among the books he had was this particular book. With no second thoughts i bought it. The minute i opened it and began reading,i must say i never stopped.
The information in there iam certain would benefit every one out there especailly my sisters who long for financial prowess. The balance exuded in the literature regarding the significance and relevance of education is great.When the writers pointed out our attitudes and perceptions and how they make us either succeed or fail,i knew they had driven the point at home.
This book must be the push that will take you to the right direction that you will live to remember vividly. It espouses the notions of determination,resilience and financial sustainability among other important issues which i know you will find useful.Just go the extra mile and make use of the information read.
A must read i must say.
Rich Dad, Poor Dad
Thank you, Daisy for this review, pointing out especially the point of education value. So critical to people having the tools to empower themselves and control their own destiny.

A Fatter San Cristobal
David Savona
Posted: April 6, 2010
Not long ago, 54 ring gauge cigars were considered exceptionally fat. No more. This week the new San Cristobal Papagayo XXL started shipping to American smokeshops, sporting a massive 60 ring gauge.
"It's a monster," said Ashton Distributors vice president Sathya Levin.
The Papagayo XXL is a beefed up version of the San Cristobal Papagayo, which measures 5 3/4 inches long by 55 ring. The Papagayo, which Ashton created about one year ago, "Instantly became one of our best-selling sizes," said Levin. It was the fattest parejo (or straight sided) cigar in the brand, which is made in Nicaragua at Pepin Garcia's My Father Cigars factory.
Consumers requested an even fatter smoke, so Ashton responded with the XXL. It comes in boxes of 21 cigars, and has a suggested retail price of $9.50.
For more on the new cigar, see next week's Cigar Insider.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My daughter started here in 2007 her kindergarten year and is now in first grade. We have been VERY pleased with both teachers she has had and the level she has developed on. She is reading on the 2nd grade 1st week level and has already learned many things that her 2nd grade cousin had learned in her school. They are advanced in there teaching and truly care about the students and there education. They are very friendly and warming in the school and always make you feel like you belong there and always want the parents involved in the childs education and anything that goes on at school . Excellent school , teacher, principal. I can't think of anything I can even complain about .
I have 2 children in Tatum. Next year I will have 3. I love that most of the teachers are well organized. They are required to learn allot the first couple of years. I don't so much agree with that. It is allot for little brains to learn. But the teachers do a good job of letting you know wht is going on. Just ask allot of questions and stay involed!!
I have been very impressed with the excellent teaching skills and the generous community spirit of this school. My daughter started Kindergarten after moving from out of state where I had older children in elementary school. I was very nervous upon seeing how much more was expected academically than in our previous elementary school, but was surprised and impressed with the results. Kudos to Tatum!
My daughter started Kindergarden at Tatum this year and I have found that for the most part (minus a few things) is very well organized and very into student/teacher/parent unity. Parents are welcome to attend anything the school is having including morning announcements. Teachers are great and care alot about the students. I am overall very pleased with the teaching, teachers, unity of the school. My daughter has shown so much progress in the short month since school started.
I my self went to Tatum from 1952-1958. Now my two granddaughters go their. I think it is great! Love the school and all the people that work their.Granddaughter just left 3rd reading 5th level.

Post "Good Google," Who Will Defend the Open Web?
timothy posted about a year and a half ago | from the eff-and-fsf-should-be-on-the-team dept.133
psykocrime writes "The crazy kids at Fogbeam Labs have started a discussion about Google and their relationship with the Open Web, and questioning who will step up to defend these principles, even as Google seem to be abdicating their position as such a champion. Some candidates mentioned include Yahoo, IBM, Red Hat, Mozilla, Microsoft and The Wikimedia Foundation, among others. The question is, what organization(s) have both the necessary clout and the required ethical principles, to truly champion the Open Web, in the face of commercial efforts which are clearly inimical to Open Source, Open Standards, Libre Culture and other elements of an Open Web?"
