Neighborhoods: Northeast, Downtown
Great Service make a bad morning so much better! – I have to say it has been awhile since I've been to First Watch, but today I just felt like that was the place to go for the way my morning had started. I just didn't feel like my normal social, chatty self. When I walked into First Watch, a young server named Kelly greeted me. She was about to seat me when I realized there were two people to close and too loud. I asked her if I could just move to another section and with a very accommodating demeanor she proceeded to sit me in another location in which she realized I still wasn't completely sure. So, she moved me to the place she thought was the best and it certainly was! Not only did I get peace and quiet, my breakfast was awesome and the omelet was so fresh! I felt bad for moving two times but Kelly made it seem effortless. I remembered why I always used to go to First Watch when I worked in Sarasota, because of the great food, the nice and friendly service and the comfy feeling. Thanks Kelly, you made my morning feel better!
Downtown Tampa loaction going down hill – Used to go many times, but lately the side portions are very skimpy(potaoes are delicious, but you get a tablespoon full), and the freshness of breads have been iffy for their sandwhichs, service has been below par my last few times.
This homey, family-style restaurant chain dishes up some of the city's best--and most affordable--breakfasts around. – In Short
First Watch may serve lunch, but it's their take on breakfast that brings in the diners. Pancakes, made to order with toppings such as blueberry, granola, and bananas, are served in a doughy stack with a selection of syrups. Florida french toast features slabs of cinnamon raisin or sourdough bread sprinkled with wheat germ and piled with fresh bananas, kiwis and berries. The standard bacon and cheese omelet gets a twist with avocado, Monterey jack and sour cream, and chunky home fries are available with most entrees. Lunch is mainly salads and sandwiches.
Screwed by a chain – This local favorite is hands down better than an overworked chain.
First Watch is First in everything!! – Since arriving in Sarasota, FL in 1995 I found this little spot called First Watch...the food is amazing at prices that would make Denny's ashamed of themselves...why you ask...because for basically the same price your get an outright gourmet experience and the wait...what wait? You're served within 10min after placing your order...no one, but no one in town can compete with this gem....in Tampa (Carrolwood) needs a little more atmosphere however the food and service is just like it's sister in Sarasota...Bravo! First Watch may you always watch over my favorite meal of the day Breakfast!!
The Healthy Breakfast – This is one of the few restaurants...that offers many different ways to eat healthy,low fat, and flavorful meals. Its nice to see a clean dining area and a very friendly staff....eager to tailor your meal to your needs. I was going to order a glass of orange juice and asked if the had pulp, it did and she removed it...even after I said to not to go to the trouble...that I would order an apple juice instead....now thats service...
Very Overrated!! – Before my family and I tried FirstWatch's breakfast, we'd heard nothing but raves about the quantity and quality of food served. Turns out the place was/is totally overrated. Service was OK but the food was just ho-hum and the portions weren't something to right home about. I've gotten better and more food for cheaper prices at local hole-in-the-wall restaurants than at FirstWatch. The people who love the place can have it!!!
this place has great food but kinda pricey, and they charge for everything you want extra..
Awesome Breakfast – First Watch has the best breakfast's in town. Fresh food and alot of healthy items too. My personal favorite would be the BLTE, a must try!
Great Neighborhood Restaurant – My wife and I have been eating breakfast at the First Watch in Carrollwood almost every weekend for 7 years. The food is always good and the staff is very willing to make substitutions. I take business associates there for lunch. They're never disappointed.

"Loved this product but, as with all printing jobs for contrasty black and white images, i wish i would have lightened the image up a bit, the printing came out a bit darker than i would have liked but I should have known better."
"I wanted a simple, beautiful announcement and that is just what I got. I am so pleased. Really love that you can choose from a variety of formats for the back of the card and adjust the font size and style to fit what you are writing. The weight of the paper is nice. The design process was very easy. Just mailed the cards out two days ago and have already received compliments."
"Everything was perfect about this card... Colors, design, photo and paper quality... It was flawless. I ordered the cut-out design and it was gorgeous! I only gave 4 stars for delivery because I wish the production time was a little quicker, but overall this is a great product from a great company! Would highly recommend to anyone!"
"I fell in love with this design as soon as I saw it, especially since it stood apart from traditional announcements viewed on other sites. The bold blue design is a great choice for a boy, and the suggested fonts soften the design. I was thrilled with the prompt delivery, as well as the paper and printing quality. The paper thickness specifically exceeded my expectations. So far my husband and I received many compliments."
"I purchased these birth announcements on the arrival of my second daughter and my only disappointment is that I didn't use Tiny Prints for my first daughter! The quality was excellent, I wanted the pink background on the cards but asked if the white swirl could be added to the pink background and this was accommodated with no trouble. The photos look great, the layout was easy to personalize and the order arrived several days earlier than expected. Overall I could not be happier with the end product and can't wait to give them to our family and friends!"

"The Herring" (5'8") by Feelflows Surfboards
Feelflows Surfboards is my brother's latest project, focused on a surfing and skating universe reminiscent of old-school California. This fish model is one of my personal favourites as fabric finds its way into unexpected uses: the floral print on the board is actually from Lightning Bolt's collection and simply elevates the board to a whole new level.

Breaking the habit #3
For the final entry on the series I'll focus on sporting the suit jacket on its own, which for me, is probably the most difficult version of the breakdown to master. Due to my own personal style and wardrobe composition, I usually stray from wearing the suit jacket alone as I have a variety of blazers to choose from, but that doesn't mean this is not a great variation to go with. The trickiest part here is that depending on the fabric, the jacket is likely to portray a sophisticated feel which requires the rest of the look to match accordingly, making relaxed attires a bit harder to pull off. The easiest way to avoid this is to go for an overall refined ensemble, simply pairing the jacket with contrasting slacks…however, as the end result is quite similar to a "full-suit" look, I wanted to take a different approach.
In this particular case, both the windowpane pattern and natural sheen of the navy wool carry a natural elegance that set the mood for the other pieces. I could actually picture this look with a pair of fitted dark blue/raw jeans instead, but since mine are heavily worn out, the unmatched shades of blue didn't make for a proper alternative. As such, I chose to go with a pair of polished beige chinos and balance the remaining attire with an untucked white shirt, green sweat and a pair of leather cognac ankle boots. Accessories are a necessity as the floral brown scarf proves yet again…
PS: please bear in mind that although you can and should wear suit pieces separately, the same rule does not apply when it comes to garment care. Always make sure to take the full suit to the dry cleaners, to ensure the utmost color affinity throughout the years.
Details: navy wool windowpane jacket (part of a suit), white dress shirt, cognac leather boots and lapel pin by Purificacion Garcia, green sweatshirt by Our Legacy, beige chinos by Acne, wool floral scarf by Èpice and polka dots socks by H&M.
Model and Styling: Miguel Amaral Vieira

Robber strikes I-10 bank
Police on lookout for man after bank near Dominion gets hit
A robber was on the run after he held up an I-10 bank Saturday morning.
Police say the man walked into the Compass Bank in the 24100 block of I-10 on the far northwest side around 11:45 a.m.
Clerks told investigators the man had a gun and demanded cash.
After he got it police say he ran to a tan or cream colored truck and took off.
They say the truck has a double cab.
Investigators also say there was another person in the truck with the bank robber when he left.
They say he headed south on the I-10 access road toward the Dominion.
Police searched the area on the ground and from the air, but did not find the bank robber.
Investigators say the bank did have surveillance cameras, and they will be looking at the video for more clues.
No word on just how much money the bank robber got away with.

Details on when the second season will be produced have not yet been announced. And, according to Pedowitz, the premiere date has not yet been determined.
Wednesday, September 26
Posted 26 September 2012 - 02:05 PM
Posted 26 September 2012 - 02:18 PM
The new strategic plan, due at the end of the year, will include several recommendations aimed at putting the company on track, such as more large-scale artistic projects, increased marketing that focuses on building the ballet's reputation rather than selling tickets, stronger community outreach and more diversified fundraising.
Expect more attention to be paid to Palm Beach. Eight new members from Palm Beach County have been recruited to the company's 34-member board since October 2011.
Posted 26 September 2012 - 02:22 PM
It will be the company's first dedicated space for the design and creation of production elements, from wigs to large-scale set pieces.
The purpose-built site will also house its archive, which includes the pumpkin carriage from the 1973 production of Sleeping Beauty, the flying goose from The Nutcracker (2007) and more than 29,000 ballet costumes.
The centre has been built with a $2 million federal grant for the fit-out, given to commemorate the ballet's 50th anniversary.
The federal government will also provide more than $5 million annually to support the company's operations.
Posted 26 September 2012 - 02:31 PM
The creation of these works has been made possible, in part, through a space grant from American Repertory Ballet's Emerging Artists Residency Program. ARB has provided the participating artists with use of their studios at Princeton Ballet School which the artists have used to create new work and coordinate the production of a showcase. In addition, ARB is working with the artists to help co-promote these performances.
Posted 26 September 2012 - 02:32 PM
Lauren Jonas, Diablo Ballet's artistic director, will introduce and talk about each ballet.

Ludmila Pagliero and Myriam Ould-Braham, soaked in the applause for the first time following their promotions last season, and they went on to give perhaps the most vividly drawn performances of the evening. Pagliero is just starting to revel in the expressive possibilities of her considerable technique, and in Serenade she let her instinctive, full-bodied musicality speak for her. The petite, delicate Ould-Braham, a long-time audience darling, displayed a new-found aplomb in the second pas de trois from Agon to match the natural perfume of her dancing. The coming season is theirs to dominate, and many will be watching.

TYLER, Texas (AP) -- A 50-year-old man on death row for the
slaying of an East Texas man during a home break-in more than 21 years
ago has been set to die April 9.
State District Judge Christi Kennedy in Tyler set the date Thursday for Ricky Lynn Lewis.
Lewis was convicted of the September 1990 shooting death of
45-year-old George Ray Newman. Evidence showed he also raped Newman's
fiancTe at their home in Smith County and stole her car. She managed to
call police to report the attack.
A federal appeals court in
November rejected Lewis' claims he's mentally impaired and ineligible
for the death penalty, clearing the way for the execution date to be

Casey Smith Tabbed as PBC Defender of the Week
AUGUSTA, GA – Senior All-American Casey Smith has been
named the Peach Belt Conference Defender of the Week announced
Tuesday afternoon from the league office.
Smith picks up her first weekly award of the year from the league office, and has now been awarded seven weekly honors in her career. She picked up an offensive and defensive honor during her sophomore campaign, before tallying four defensive awards last season, including back-to-back weeks on two different occasions.
She started the week with a goal and an assist in a 4-2 victory over Newberry College, scoring the game-winner in the 56th minute with a free kick straight into net for her first goal of the year. She then assisted in Samantha Abrahart's goal in the 65th minute, sending another perfect cross into the box for the freshman's fifth goal of the year.
The Stockbridge, Georgia, native then put together a hat trick full of assists in a 4-0 shutout over the University of Montevallo on Saturday evening, assisting in the final three goals of the game to give Smith eight assists on the year and 34 for her career. Her career assists mark leaves her just one short of tying the Peach Belt Conference's all-time mark, a record currently held by Armstrong Atlantic's Kristin Burton.
Smith has recorded all eight of her assists in the last four games where North Georgia has scored 17 goals and put together a four-game winning streak. She leads the league in assists, and sits seventh in the conference in points with 10. North Georgia leads the league in corner kicks, attempting 51 corners with Smith picking up five of her eight assists from the those corners.

Context present on targeted attacks at Securing the Law Firm event
Stuart McKenzie, one of our Senior Consultants presented on 'targeted attacks and the legal sector' at Securing the Law Firm on the 29th January.
Context Accredited for Government Cyber Incident Response Scheme
Context is one of the first companies to be certified by CESG, as an approved supplier of Cyber Incident Response services to UK organisations that have suffered attacks from the most sophisticated criminal or state-sponsored threat actors. The Cyber Incident Response scheme provides the public sector, the UK's critical national infrastructure and private sector companies that impact on the country's 'economic well-being', with access to Government-accredited suppliers delivering the highest levels of experience, ability and integrity.
Congratulations to James Forshaw
Congratulations to Context's James Forshaw for coming up with a new exploitation technique to win Microsoft's first ever $100,000 bounty! James already has had success with design level bugs he found during the IE11 Preview Bug Bounty, and Microsoft are thrilled to announce that he continues to improve their platform-wide security by leaps and bounds.
Whilst Microsoft can't go into the details of this new mitigation bypass technique until they address it, they are excited that they will be able to use these insights to better protect customers by proactively including defenses against these advanced techniques within future releases of their products. This knowledge helps Microsoft to make individual vulnerabilities less useful when attackers try to use them against customers.
Context: one of the first to be CPA accredited
Context is proud to be one of the first CPA accredited labs under the 2013 CESG Commercial Product Assurance (CPA) scheme.
CPA is essentially a certificated accreditation process for
products to be used by government, public sector and any industries requiring
UK government accredited networks. CPA certification enables product vendors to
sell their products into government and public sector departments, the wider
public sector and associated industry for use in communications networks
requiring IS2 and IS3 accreditation.
Having completed our first CPA certification in September 2013, Context is thrilled to have gained the full accreditation and is excited about all future opportunities in this field. This is an exciting and economical alternative to previous schemes such as Common Criteria, and this is an important added measure to ensuring the security of UK government infrastructures.

Context presents 'Breaking .NET Through Serialization' at Black Hat USA:
Context presents 'Breaking .NET Through Serialization' at Black Hat USA:
Serialization vulnerabilities can lead to data disclosure or remote code execution warns Context in white paper published today.
At this week's Black Hat USA conference in Las Vegas, one of Context's Principal Consultants, James Forshaw, will be presenting details of vulnerabilities discovered in the .NET framework that allow malicious remote code execution from within the .NET framework. James' white paper, 'Breaking .NET Through Serialization' is also available for download.
White Paper: Tablets in the Enterprise – A Hard Pill to Swallow
In this white paper, Context principal consultant, Jonathan Roach, investigates the security failings in three of the most popular tablets, raising concerns for organisations looking to introduce BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). During the research the Samsung Galaxy Tab was found to have serious weaknesses that make it difficult to recommend for use in the enterprise. And while the iPad and Blackberry PlayBook performed better, both still have security problems including desktop software that does not encrypt backups by default.
More information can be found here. Read the whitepaper here
Blog: SAP Parameter Injection - No Space for Arguments
This latest blog post, Context's Michael Jordan details a vulnerability that was found in SAP's Host Control service. The vulnerability allows for 100% reliable full code execution as the SAP administrator from an unauthenticated perspective. This vulnerability was patched in May 2012 and at the request of SAP, Context have delayed the publication of the details by 3 months. As we believe the vulnerability and the technique used to exploit it are technically interesting, we thought we would go into more depth than a typical advisory normally would.

Microsoft Releases Patch following Context Warning of Vulnerabilities in .NET
Microsoft has today released a patch for all available .NET frameworks to fix vulnerabilities identified by a researcher at Context Information Security. These vulnerabilities could allow malicious remote code execution from within .NET applications. The risks relate to the use of "serialization" techniques; a fundamental feature of .NET applications that allows data or objects to be easily transferred and stored. They range from the disclosure of information to full remote code execution - whether they are accessible remotely or contained within trusted sandboxes deployed within technologies such as XBAP or ClickOnce.
The patch makes changes to the workings of the serialization framework to mitigate some of the original design decisions that were taken during the development of the first version of .NET. This required a substantial amount of effort on Microsoft's part to fix the problem without introducing compatibility issues. Context first made Microsoft aware of the .NET vulnerabilities last March and has been working with them since then to help fix the issues.
Dirty Disks Raise New Questions About Cloud Security
Research by Context Information Security has identified potentially significant flaws in the implementation of Cloud infrastructure services offered by some providers, which could be putting their clients' data at risk. By exploiting the vulnerability, which revolves around data separation, Context consultants were able to gain access to some data left on other service users' 'dirty disks', including fragments of customer databases and elements of system information that could, in combination with other data, allow an attacker to take control of other hosted servers.
Context tested four providers and found that two of them, VPS.NET and Rackspace, were not always securely separating virtual servers or nodes through shared hard disk and network resources. In line with Context's responsible disclosure procedures, we immediately informed both providers of its findings. Rackspace worked closely with Context to identify and fix the potential vulnerability, which was found among some users of its now-legacy platform for Linux Cloud Servers. Rackspace reports that it knows of no instance in which any customer's data was seen or exploited in any way by any unauthorized party. Context has tested Rackspace's current cloud platform as well as its new Next Generation Cloud computing solution based on OpenStack, and has been able to confirm that the security vulnerability has been resolved. But other providers might be vulnerable if they use popular hypervisor software, and implement it in the way that Rackspace did before its recent remediation efforts.
Context Release New Whitepaper: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Stolen Data
Media reports show that targeted cyber attacks against government and commerce have been ongoing since at least 2003 and possibly some time before that. By far the largest sponsor of these attacks is the Chinese state. This is not a new problem; it is espionage with a different methodology.
Context has extensive experience of detecting and investigating targeted attacks and working with clients to help protect their data.
Context Blog Provides Simple Fix to Protect Internet and Intranet Sites
Context Information Security has highlighted a weakness in Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari web browsers that enables remote attackers to steal sensitive information held on private Microsoft SharePoint sites, as well as mine data from other public websites such as LinkedIn. In these Framesniffing Attacks, a hidden HTML frame is used to load a target website inside the attacker's malicious webpage to read information about the content and structure of the framed pages. The attack bypasses browser security restrictions that are meant to prevent webpages directly reading the contents of 3rd party sites loaded in frames.
Context Serves Up New CANAPE Security Assessment Tool at Black Hat Europe
Context Information Security has been presenting its latest Windows security assessment tool at Black Hat Europe this week in Amsterdam. CANAPE extends the functionality of existing web application testing tools such as CAT, Burp or Fiddler in order to analyse complex network protocols.
"Testing and exploiting binary network protocols can be both complex and time consuming," says Michael Jordon, Research and Development Manager at Context. "In most cases, custom software needs to be developed to proxy, parse and manipulate the traffic; but CANAPE provides a simple user interface that facilitates the capture and replaying of binary network traffic, whilst delivering a powerful framework to develop parsers and fuzzers."
Context Releases Whitepaper - Web Application Vulnerability Statistics Report 2010-2011
Two thirds of web applications tested by security consultants at Context Information Security in 2011 were found to be at risk from cross-site scripting and nearly one in five applications risked attacks by experienced SQL injections, according to the new Context Web Application Vulnerability report published today. The research also found that web applications developed for government, financial services and law and insurance sectors had the greatest increase in vulnerabilities. The findings come from penetration tests carried out on almost 600 hundred custom-built web applications. In total, Context discovered some 8,000 vulnerabilities, reflecting an increase in the average number of different security issues affecting each application from 12.5 to 13.5 between 2010 and 2011.
Mark Raeburn and Alex Church present at BlueHat - Redmond, USA
Last month Context's C.E.O, Mark Raeburn and Technical Director, Alex Church were invited to present at the BlueHat conference in Redmond as trusted experts in the area of 'Targeted Attacks on Enterprise Networks'.
The conference brings together Microsoft developers and executives with key security programme partners and members of the security research community. Its principle aim is to help protect Microsoft's customers by sharing information on current and emerging security threats, addressing security issues and concerns in Microsoft products and services.

Apache releases security advisory following discovery of back door threat by Context researchers
Apache released an advisory on Wednesday 5th October 2011 to all of its customers following the identification by Context's researchers of a new class of security vulnerability that could allow hackers to gain full internet access to internal or DMZ systems using insecurely configured reverse web proxies. Context alerted Apache to the weakness last month and have published a blog detailing this new class of attack that it believes is likely to affect other web servers and proxies. The blog also provides advice to mitigate the risks: http://www.contextis.com/research/blog/server-technologies-reverse-proxy-bypass/

More security problems for WebGL
Researchers at Context Information Security who exposed security flaws in WebGL last month have identified further concerns about early implementations of the new technology that allows web pages to draw fast 3D graphics to deliver a much richer experience to web users. In one example, a vulnerability in the Mozilla Firefox browser made it possible for malicious web pages to capture any screenshot from a target PC – including the user's desktop, other web pages or applications. By revealing that none of the current implementations comply with WebGL conformance standards, Context also raises serious questions for Khronos, the consortium which has drawn up the WebGL specification and conformance tests.
Context uncover security flaws in new WebGL technology put PCs and data at risk
Context researchers have uncovered serious security flaws in the new WebGL technology that creates 3D graphics in a browser with the same speed and detail as hardware-accelerated PC games and applications. Context says that design level security issues give potentially malicious web pages low level access to graphics cards that could provide a 'back door' for hackers and compromise data stored on internet-connected machines.
WebGL is currently supported on Linux, OSX and Windows operating systems, using Firefox 4, Safari and Google Chrome browsers. In addition to desktops and notebooks, WebGL is also being adopted for use in other devices including smart phones and is rapidly increasing in popularity.
Context introduces new Cloud Security Assessment Service
In parallel with the release of our whitepaper "Cloud Computing – Assessing Cloud Node Security", Context is pleased to announce the introduction of our new Cloud Security Assessment Service. As a result of the increasing popularity of Cloud computing, more and more Context clients have requested our support in helping to determine and improve the security posture of their Cloud-based systems.
Our new Cloud Security Assessment Service analyses the security of the client's Cloud system from three different perspectives. Initially, we perform a security assessment of the Cloud system from an external, Internet-facing perspective. This involves the use of classic network infrastructure and application penetration testing methodologies. Due to the shared nature of the Cloud environment, we also assess system security from the perspective of a neighbouring, malicious node. This assessment includes network-based attacks and exploitation of shared resources in an attempt to gain access to the target system. Finally, Context conducts an audit of the security protection enforced on the node in order to prevent it from being compromised. This includes a node hardening assessment, a review of virtualisation security, an analysis of how the node is remotely administered and a review of the external and internal network infrastructure security related to the node.
Context Releases Whitepaper - Assessing Cloud Node Security
Cloud computing has become one of the buzzwords of the moment. The potential benefits offered by the Cloud make it an attractive business proposal to many organisations. But how secure is the Cloud and to what extent are its benefits tainted by the potential security risks?
In order to provide our client base with a better understanding of the technical security issues associated with Cloud computing, Context has undertaken a study of four major Cloud providers.

Letting the CAT out of the bag
Context's Principal Security Consultant Michael Jordon is hitting the road in September to demonstrate the qualities of the Context Application Tool (CAT).
Context discovers Citrix vulnerability
Context has identified a previously unknown vulnerability in the widely used Citrix ICA Client. Our consultant Michael Jordon has discovered that the Citrix Presentation Server Client (as tested on v10.150) does not perform bounds checking on the type field in an ICA "graphics" packet. This creates a theoretical opportunity for an attacker to carry out remote exploitation of any client device upon which the client has been installed.
An attacker would be a in a position to execute arbitrary code on the client device if a user can be lured into connecting to a server controlled by the attacker. This could happen if the user visited a malicious website or opened an untrusted email attachment. This issue has affected Windows, Windows Mobile, Linux and Solaris clients. The ICA client for Java, and the Citrix Receivers for iPhone/iPad and Android are not affected.
Gain a new understanding of secure development with Michael Jordon
Security guru and Context consultant Michael Jordon will be among speakers presenting to delegates at the International Secure Systems Development (ISSD) Conference.

They did have modern TV set , microwave, and frig in room.
We did not have coffee pot in room and we did let the staff know but it was not resolved . Several parts of the motel were not very clean, even the trash was piling up in breakfast area. There could have been more food choices at the breakfast.We were hoping for a better facility, as it was rated a 2 star. It could use some new pillows and there were not enough electric outlets for a minimum of plug-ins. The staff needs to be more customer-oriented, to make the stay at their motel a pleasant one. ... more

Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff, President
Laurence Kotlikoff Professor of Economics Boston University and President of Economic Security Planning, Inc.
Thanks for visiting our site. I've spent a good part of my academic career studying personal financial behavior. In the course of these studies, I realized two things. First, economics' approach to financial planning is very different from the conventional approach: it generates quite different and much more sensible advice. Second, economists have an obligation to use their tools and science to help people make proper life-cycle financial decisions.
I've spent over a decade with colleagues in my company developing economics-based personal financial planning software. Thousands of individuals and a growing number of financial planners, with no economics background, have found our integrated, comprehensive program easy to use and understand.
When it comes to personal finance, economics and our software care about one thing—your living standard. All questions in personal finance boil down to your living standard.
Will this job mean more spending power? Is this house affordable? Which mortgage should I take? When can I retire? When should I take Social Security? Should I use a regular or Roth IRA? Am I getting a fair divorce settlement? Should I pay down my mortgage?—All these are living standard questions. If your financial planning program can't calculate your living standard, it can't answer these questions.
Our financial planning software calculates your sustainable living standard and what you need to save and insure each year to maintain it. Living standard refers to your discretionary spending per household member (adjusted for the fact that two live more cheaply than one). This is your consumption—the spending you can do after meeting all your "off-the-top" expenses on taxes, college, mortgage payments, 401(k) contributions, etc. Our Monte Carlo simulations (included in ESPlannerPlus) show you how the future variability of your living standard depends on your investment choices.
The beauty of our program, and what captivates our thousands of customers, is its ability to help you safely raise your living standard.
Think about comparing two jobs—one with low current earnings and high future earnings—the other with the opposite. Each entails different annual federal and state taxes and future Social Security benefits. The jobs may have different 401(k) plans and be located in different states with different housing costs. Our software can compare the living standards offered by these two jobs in a matter of seconds taking into account all the complex issues just mentioned and many more.
Or take the interconnected decisions of when to start withdrawing from retirement accounts, when to begin taking Social Security, whether to withdrawal from Roth accounts first, and how fast to draw down retirement account assets. Getting these choices right can make a huge difference to your future living standard because they have major implications for how much you pay over time in taxes and how much you collect in benefits. ESPlanner can show you the living standard impact of different combinations of choices, again, in seconds taking all future annual taxes and benefits into careful account.
Or consider choosing whether to contribute to Roth or regular retirement accounts. This is an easy decision once you see how each choice affects your living standard and also factor in potential increases in future tax rates.
Please read some of the research behind ESPlanner, or press to check out the enormous media interest we've received. Click case studies to see examples of what ESPlanner can do for you.
We are available using our contact form to help you with any questions or problems. And we aren't going to try to sell you any financial products! Our focus is solely on providing sound advice.

Balance Hormones, Double Energy
+ Supercharge Your Metabolism!
With a Step-by-Step 30-Day Detox Program
Led By Harvard MD, Dr. Sara Gottfried
When was the last time you felt strong, slim, energized, balanced, and truly at home in your body? Was it a month? 3 years ago? Never?
Far too many women (and men) go through life feeling fat, worn out, overwhelmed, and ashamed about the way they look and feel.
If you're tired of fad diets that leave you hungry and miserable, medications that don't work, and detoxes that leave you feeling worse than when you started, then Dr. Sara's Detox is the program you've been searching for.
Yes, I Want to Detox, Lose Weight, and
Boost My Energy with Dr. Sara's Detox!
This gentle, guided detox was developed by Dr. Sara Gottfried – integrative physician and bestselling author of The Hormone Cure. It's the result of years of research and testing what works (and what doesn't) when it comes to detoxing for HORMONE BALANCE, ENERGY, and WEIGHT LOSS. Thousands of people around the world have gone through this program – now it's your turn
Thousands of people around the world have gone through this program – and now it's your turn . . .
Common Results from My Detox Include:
- Feeling 10 years younger
- Sleeping like a baby, waking up refreshed, and having more energy all day long
- Discovering that your clothes fit better than they have in years – or are literally falling off of you!
- Feeling unconditional love and appreciation for the woman (or man) staring back at you in the mirror
- Losing excess weight – and keeping it off for good
- Laughing and smiling for no apparent reason
- Developing a sudden passion for healthy food and recruiting all of your friends and family to do a detox with you
Dr. Sara's Detox Is Currently In Session
Click here to get on the PRIORITY LIST for the next session.
It consists of 3 stages: the Pre-Cleanse, Main Detox and Re-Entry.
During the 15-day Pre-Cleanse, you'll remove meat, alcohol, sugar, caffeine, gluten and dairy from your diet in 3-day stages. This will gently cleanse your body and re-set your metabolism for maximum health benefits and weight loss.
You'll continue to avoid these six metabolic hormone blockers during the 6-day Main Detox. Then, in the 9-day Re-Entry you'll reintroduce these foods, one at a time, to discover which ones cause an autoimmune/allergic reaction. All of this information will help you craft your own "food code" for how you want to eat and supplement once the detox is over.
*Dr. Sara's recommended detox supplements, shake powder and fiber blend are all included in Dr. Sara's Detox Kit, which is available for a special price while registration is open for the detox – a $31 SAVINGS on the cost of the individual products in the kit!
**Depending on your preference and weight loss goals.
Just Listen to What Our
Last Detox Participants Had To Say…
Tammy and Linda participated in the Fall 2013 session of Dr. Sara's Detox, and experienced phenomenal results. Click on the videos to hear what they had to say about the program.
"Before I started the detox, I was at my wits end, trying to lose weight. I would follow diets carefully, but have very limited results. I exercised, but the scale still wouldn't budge. I had outgrown my fat pants and was rather hopeless. Despite what I thought was a healthy lifestyle, I felt like I was bound to be fat forever. Now, I feel like I have hope."

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dr. Sara's Detox Challenge just for women?
Absolutely not! This detox works equally well for men and women. The only difference for men vs. women is that male participants may find that they need to eat an additional meal or drink an additional shake each day in order to feel satisfied. Dr. Sara will provide information on how to modify the detox for the male participants as needed.
Is this a juice cleanse?
No. This detox focuses on eliminating foods that are toxic to the body and replacing them with hormone-balancing, metabolism-boosting foods. During the 15 day Pre-Cleanse, you will eat 2 healthy meals and drink 1 shake per day. During the 6-day Main Detox, you will eat 1 healthy meal and drink 2 shakes per day. During the 9-day Re-Entry, you will eat 1-2 healthy meals and drink 1-2 shakes per day (depending on your preference and weight loss goals).
For maximum weight loss benefits, we recommend keeping additional snacks to a minimum. However, this detox is NOT about starving yourself! If your energy is low between meals/shakes, then we recommend eating a small snack from your list of approved foods.
Will I have enough energy to go to work?
Definitely! Most people actually find that they sleep better and have MORE energy during this detox.
When you eliminate the main foods that cause autoimmune reactions and hormone imbalance (red meat, alcohol, sugar, caffeine, gluten and dairy) from your diet, your body will process the rest of your food more easily – and convert more of that food into clean, lasting energy. In addition, replacing some meals with shakes means less energy exerted for digestion (which means MORE energy that you can use for whatever you want to do each day!).
Do I need to take any supplements while I'm detoxing?
Yes! At a minimum, you will need to purchase a non-dairy/non-whey protein powder (at least 36 servings' worth – or more if you're a man / if you anticipate needing additional shakes) and a water-soluble fiber blend (at least 30 servings' worth).
For a deeper cleanse, Dr. Sara also recommends taking detox supplements (enough for 30 days).
You may choose to find your own shake powder, fiber and supplements. Or, if you live within the U.S., you can get everything you need by purchasing Dr. Sara's Deluxe Detox Kit, which includes:
- 2 containers of Dr. Sara's Hormone Balancing Shake Powder (in chocolate or vanilla)
- 1 container of Dr. Sara's Fiber Blend
- 1 container of Dr. Sara's Detox Packets
That's enough of everything to get you through the 30-day cleanse. You will be given the option to add the Detox Kit to your order – for over 12% OFF the price of the individual products – when you sign up for Dr. Sara's Detox Challenge.
What if I can't stick to the eating plan 100%?
In order to see the maximum hormone balance and weight loss results, we highly recommend sticking to the food plan and detox schedule. The best way to do this is to PLAN AHEAD and keep plenty of healthy foods and snacks on hand for "emergencies."
That being said, just do the best you can. If you get off-track, you can always jump right back on again! There's no such thing as "failing" the detox – and most participants are pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to stick with the plan once you get started.
I'm pregnant/breastfeeding/trying to get pregnant. Is it still safe for me to participate?
Generally Dr. Sara's Detox Challenge is safe for everyone. However, Dr. Sara cannot give you medical advice outside of a doctor-patient relationship. For both pregnant and lactating women, your best option is to discuss with your clinician and to avoid the supplements unless approved him or her. Most supplements do not have proven safety in pregnancy and lactation. The exceptions are magnesium and some of the B vitamins, but it's better to err of the side of caution and make the decision about supplements with your clinician.
I want to do this, but I have a big trip/event during the detox dates! Should I just wait for the next detox to join?
Most people find that they can stick with the detox, even during big trips or events. The main thing you'll need is access to a blender and healthy foods (from your approved foods list). As long as you have that, you can do Dr. Sara's Detox Challenge pretty much anywhere, anytime!
If you worry that your event/trip will interfere with your detox, you can also choose to go ahead and sign up anyway, and then complete the detox on your own time. In other words, you'll get the emails, webinars, and Q&A call recordings sent to you at the same time as everyone else, and then you can choose to complete the detox whenever you're ready to commit to it fully – since you now have everything you need to do it!
Will there be another detox offered later?
Yes! Dr. Sara's Detox Challenge typically runs twice per year. The next session is currently planned for fall 2014 (dates TBA).
If you want to detox sooner than that, but have a conflict with the current session dates, you can also choose to go ahead and sign up anyway, and then complete the detox on your own time. In other words, you'll get the emails, webinars, and Q&A call recordings sent to you at the same time as everyone else, and then you can choose to complete the detox whenever you're ready to commit to it fully – since you now have everything you need to do it!
I can't take part in this session, but I really want to do Dr. Sara's Detox! Can you send me information about the next session?
Absolutely! Click here to get on the priority list for the next session of Dr. Sara's Detox Challenge (est. Fall 2014).

Transferring is a very popular option for Gateway students. You may be looking to gain credit from learning you have done in high school or at another college or university.
Credit for Prior Learning
We recognize that students come to Gateway with knowledge and skills gained through a variety of previous educational, life and work experiences. Credit for Prior Learning provides students an avenue to receive credit for these past experiences and accelerate the completion of educational goals.
Credit for Prior Learning may be obtained through the following methods:
Transfer Credits from Another Institution
Gateway awards transfer credit for courses completed at a regionally accredited institution are evaluated to determine for which transfer credit will be awarded. Coursework completed at an institution which is not regionally accredited is evaluated through the one of the other Credit for Prior Learning options to determine what proficiency credit will be granted.
Courses may transfer to Gateway if the following criteria are met:
- You have an application for admission and are accepted to a program prior to having transfer credits evaluated.
- The course is identified on an official college transcript.
- The course being transferred is equivalent in content and meets or exceeds the credit value of the Gateway course.
- A grade of "C" or above was earned in the course within the identified timeframe for that subject area.
Credit Transferred by Department Evaluation
Transfer credit may be granted for studies or training which lacks accreditation. Program deans and course instructors are consulted in determining course competency equivalence.
Tech Prep and Articulation for High School Students
Through an agreement with area high schools, Gateway awards credits for certain courses taken at the high school level. As a rule, students must have earned a B (3.0) or better in the high school course. It is also possible for qualified high school students to enroll in a higher level Gateway course with the consent of the program advisor. Upon successful completion, the student will be awarded advanced standing for the lower level course.
Credit through Examination
Credit may be granted to students who demonstrate course competencies through the satisfactory completion of college developed written or performance tests for specified courses. The Credit for Prior Learning Counselor can help facilitate this process for you.
Evaluation of Experience
Credit may be granted for prior learning experiences in life and work. You should meet with the Credit for Prior Learning Counselor to determine possible areas to be evaluated. Students prepare a written portfolio containing evidence that course competencies have been met, which are evaluated by program dean and course instructor.
College Level Examination
Credit may be granted for a specific technical college course or courses to students receiving a minimally acceptable score on an examination with nationally recognized standards. National exams include, but are not limited to, the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) exams, the International Baccalaureate exams, CLEP, DANTES, and nationally recognized exams in specific occupational areas.
Military Evaluation
Credit may be granted upon review of an official Military Transcript. Transcripts should be submitted to the Credit for Prior Learning Counselor.
