Join us for all the Purim fun and celebrations Wednesday night, March 20 - Thursday, March 21, 2019 Rabbi's Message Purim is a really happy and festive time where we celebrate the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia. Please join us at our main event and megillah reading. You can find more information about the holiday below. Wishing you a happy Purim! — Rabbi Peretz Goldshmid The Mitzvha is to hear the Megila twice, at the 1: Eve 2: Day of Purim Sponsored by Haddasah George in Loving memory of her parents Avraham and Miriam Vareed of blessed memory Megillah Readings Wednesday night // March 20 7:30 pm At: Offer & Judy Bousikila's House (Call the office or RSVP bellow for exact address) Delecious pastries from the best Kosher Bakery in Northren CA will be served. please rsvp before 3/12/2019 Thank you Offer and Judy Bouskila for hosting Thursday // March 21 6:15 pm At: Chabad 2295 Tilton Lane, Brentwood CA 94513 During the Party Please contact the office if you would like to schedule a megillah reading at your office, school, or other central location! Purim Festivities Location: Chabad of the Delta Date: Thursday night, March 21 Time: 5:30pm Details: Dress up Live Music Dancing Magic show Full meal Friends Smiles all around All are welcome, Suggested Donation: $12 per person $40 per family RSVP Food Gifts to Friends On Purim we emphasize the importance of Jewish unity and friendship by sending gifts of food to friends. On Purim day, March 21, send a gift of at least two kinds of ready-to-eat foods (e.g., pastry, fruit, beverage) to at least one friend. Men should send to men, and women to women. It is preferable that the gifts be delivered via a third party. Children, in addition to sending their own gifts of food to their friends, make enthusiastic messengers. Giving to the Needy One of Purim's primary themes is Jewish unity. Haman tried to kill us all, we were all in danger together, so we celebrate together too. Hence, on Purim day we place special emphasis on caring for the less fortunate. Give money or food to at least two needy people during the daylight hours of Purim, March 21. In case you can't find any needy people, your synagogue will likely be collecting money for this purpose. At least, place two coins in a charity box earmarked for the poor. On Purim, we give a donation to whoever asks; we don't verify his or her bank balance first. As with the other mitzvahs of Purim, even small children should fulfill this mitzvah.

In a person with scoliosis, the spine may curve side-to-side in a "C" or "S" shape. Sometimes the spinal bones (vertebrae) may also twist. © iStockphoto.com
By Laurie Sammeth, Contributing Writer, myOptumHealth
Content provided by
Subtle signs of scoliosis, such as an uneven hemline or one hip appearing higher than the other, may first be noticed during a growth spurt in the early teen or preteen years. While these signs can be alarming, scoliosis is usually mild and won't get worse. Only about four children in 1,000 will need any treatment for it. In some cases, bracing is used to stop the progression of a curve. Rarely, surgery is needed to correct it.
Scoliosis is an abnormal curve of the spine. Normally when you look at a person's back, the spine or backbone falls in a straight line from the base of the neck to the tailbone. In a person with scoliosis, the spine may curve side-to-side in a "C" or "S" shape. Sometimes the spinal bones (vertebrae) may also twist.
What causes scoliosis?
Most of the time, doctors don't know what causes scoliosis. In these cases, it is called idiopathic scoliosis. In a few cases, it may be caused by another condition, such as a connective tissue or neuromuscular disorder.
Scoliosis tends to run in families. Idiopathic scoliosis occurs more often and tends to progress more in girls than in boys. Posture, a heavy book bag, or diet and exercise have nothing to do with whether someone will develop scoliosis.
What are the symptoms?
Scoliosis usually causes the spine to curve in an "S" or "C" shape. There may be no symptoms in the early stages of mild scoliosis. Signs of scoliosis include having:
One shoulder higher than the other
An uneven waistline
Ribs that stick out farther on one side of the body
A shoulder blade that sticks out farther on one side of the body
A tendency to lean to one side
Most cases are mild and don't get worse. In other cases, early treatment with a brace may prevent a curve from getting worse.
If scoliosis becomes severe, it may cause back pain or breathing problems. The earlier a child develops it, the more severe the curve can become.
How is it treated?
What treatment your child may need for scoliosis will depend on his age and how much more a child is expected to grow. Treatment also depends on how severe the curve is.
The main treatments for scoliosis include:
Observation. If your child has only a mild form (a spinal curve under 25 degrees), she most likely will not need treatment. But she should see the doctor every four to six months for observation until she stops growing.
Bracing. If your child is still growing and has a spinal curve over 25 to 30 degrees, he may need to wear a brace to prevent the curve from getting worse. There are many different kinds of braces and each must be custom fit for your child.
A brace will not correct the spinal curving but may keep it from getting worse. Your child must wear the brace every day for as long as the doctor recommends. But she can often take it off to exercise and play sports.
Surgery. If your child's scoliosis is severe (a spinal curve over 45 to 50 degrees) or if bracing does not stop its progression, surgery may be suggested. Surgery involves fusing (connecting) two or more vertebrae to straighten the backbone and inserting a permanent implant, such as a metal rod, to help keep it straight.
Having scoliosis can affect your child's self-esteem during the vulnerable teen years. It may be helpful to join a support group of others coping with the same condition.

I love the process of creating a brand (and this is more than just a logo – watch this space for my next post) and for small businesses this often involves their entire business proposition and positioning.
So when I work with my clients, the majority of whom run small businesses, when we talk about brand, we are talking about their whole business, their offering, their target markets and how they can differentiate themselves from the competition and entice their target markets to spend their money with them.
Many small businesses will start marketing and promoting their small business without really thinking through what it actually is they are marketing and promoting and this often means they end up spending money on marketing that's not working as well as it should for them – because they haven't thought it all through. So here are the three key things I get my clients to think about when we are defining their business brand in preparation for marketing it.
The WHAT, the WHO and the WHY…
If you know inside out, in detail, with clarity (you get the picture) WHAT it is you are offering then you can clearly communicate that offering in your marketing.
If you know WHO you are offering your products and services to then not only can you identify the particular needs of your target market but you can create communications to them that are targeted specifically for them and to address those needs – this means they are more likely to respond to your marketing because they will relate to what you are saying and how you are saying it.
If you WHY your target market would buy from you rather than a competitor – i.e. you know the benefits of your business for your target market and you know your competitive advantage – then again communicating this information to that target market becomes easy and more focused.
If you would like to know more about defining the WHAT, WHO and WHY for your business to make your marketing more effective and get more business then please feel free to contact us on 0845 272 3539 or visit our website for more information.

Characterization of Fatigue Cracking and Healing of Asphalt Mixtures
MetadataShow full item record
Fatigue cracking is one of the most common distresses of asphalt pavements, whereas healing is a counter process to cracking which alleviates cracking damage and extends fatigue life of asphalt pavements. Most of existing methods to characterize fatigue cracking and healing are generally empirical or phenomenological in nature, which does not satisfy the need to develop mechanistic-based pavement design methods. The objective of this study is to characterize fatigue cracking and healing of asphalt mixtures using an energy-based mechanistic approach. A controlled-strain repeated direct tension (RDT) test is selected to generate both fatigue cracking and permanent deformation in an asphalt mixture specimen. Fatigue cracking is separated from permanent deformation from a mechanical viewpoint. The development of fatigue cracking is described by the evolution of the damage density and the increase of the average crack size with the increase of loading cycles. A creep and step-loading recovery (CSR) test is designed to measure the internal stress in the recovery phase of an asphalt mixture specimen. The internal stress and the strain measured in the recovery phase are used to conduct the mechanistic analysis of recovery and healing of the asphalt mixture specimen. Then healing is described using the decrease of the damage density and average crack size with time. Different types of asphalt mixtures produce distinctly different fatigue cracking and healing characteristics. The effect of mixture composition, temperature, and aging are evaluated using the approach above. The entire series of tests for fatigue, permanent deformation and healing can be completed in one day, with the healing part requiring only a matter of minutes. The methods proposed in this study characterize fatigue cracking and healing of asphalt mixtures using its essential cause and effect relationship.

Glycerol-3-Phosphate (G3P) Colorimetric Assay Kit Add to Cart
|100 assays
|548 €
|Blue Ice
• Simple, sensitive, and rapid
• Detect G3P less than 2 nmol/well
• Applicable for a variety of sample types
Figure: G3P Standard Curve (a). Measurement of G3P in rat liver (100 μg), 3T3-L1 (40 μg) and Hela (50 μg) lysate (b). Assays were performed following the kit protocol.
• Measurement of Glycerol-3-Phosphate in various tissues/cells
• Analysis of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and cell signaling
• Drug screening
Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) is an important intermediate for all living organisms. Glycerol-3-Phosphate is produced either by glycerol via glycerol kinase or by dihydroxyacetone phosphate through glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. In response to cellular signals, glycerol-3-phosphate can be utilized in multiple pathways: it can be further converted into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and enter glycolysis or rapidly generate NAD+ in brain or muscle tissues through the G3P shuttle or enter the lipid biosynthetic pathway. Recent studies have found that glycerol-3-phosphate is a novel regulator and plays a fundamental defense role in plant pathogenesis.
BioVision's Glycerol-3-Phosphate Assay kit is a sensitive, fast and easy-to-use kit. In this assay, G3P is oxidized by G3P Enzyme Mix to form an intermediate, which reduces a nearly colorless probe to a colored product with strong absorbance at 450 nm. This assay kit can detect G3P less than 2 nmol/well and can be used for a variety of sample types.

Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;(26) Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
One of the signs that Jesus gave us concerning the end times was that men's hearts will be failing them because of fear and worrying about things that are happening on the Earth.
We hear much about heart disease and heart failure each year. Maybe people need to begin to trust Jesus more because:
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord
upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Jesus still has help for the aching heart. I am going to discuss some of the things that make our hearts ache and how Jesus can help with them in the next few devotionals. I hope you receive a blessing from them and If you have an aching heart I hope you find some comfort in them.
Please feel free to contact me by email at
shilohkosciusko with questions, comments or even suggestions for further devotional studies. @gmail.com
If you know of someone new to the Kosciusko area and would like for our church to visit them please let us know. Our prayers are that this devotional ministry will be an outreach to bring people into a closer relationship with Jesus. I do appreciate you taking the time to read these devotionals and please keep us in your prayers.

I inherited my Gran's sewing box years ago, and believe it or not, left everything in it. I've used a few things over the years, but have always just left it the way Gran had it. Well, maybe not exactly the way she had it… it's a lot less orderly now!
And if you think this is bad, here's a peek at the mish-mash of my own sewing box!
Enter the little red vintage tool box that inspired me to take charge of all this chaos.
Yes, this was a thrifting find from the other day, and for some reason I saw it becoming part of my sewing mix… even though this is what it looked like inside.
Some soaking, Goo-Gone, lots of elbow grease and a little steel wool took care of this, and then I lined the bottom with rubber shelf liner and red felt.
It's actually this I was more worried about!
Sorting and organizing all the random contents of my sewing stuff along with my grandmother's to become one! Eeeek. And getting better systems in place to boot.
My thread and bobbins were a tangled mess.
The idea behind this thread/bobbin caddy isn't so bad, but it's one of those organizers that doesn't really work. I've moved my bobbins to this little case instead…
I still have to decide on storage for my thread. Do you have any favorite solutions to share?
And buttons. Who saves them in all these packages, anyway?
Well, that would be me! I've now sorted my buttons and separated them into little jars of darks, whites, metallics, mixed colours, and kid inspired!
My Gran made her own dresses, and she loooooved rick rack, seam binding and elastic. I wrote about a quilt she made here.
Did you notice the vintage labels with their vintage prices?
I corralled all the rick rack and seam binding into a small box, and placed it with the rest of my craft supplies.
No need for this factory supply to be kept in my sewing box, right?
I did put all Gran's elastic into a pretty little box, and it along with some other things you saw on the table now live in the bottom of my sewing box.
I also sorted and organized more things from the table into the top tray of my sewing box, and this is what lives there now.
The pink seamstress tape belonged to my Gran along with the very burnished thimble beside it. The tape is only in feet and inches, and it's so old I'm afraid it might crack and break if I handle it too much. I have two of my own, but there's no way I want to part with Gran's, so it gets to take up a cubby of its own! Hey, do you know of any DIY ideas where I could showcase this special tape instead?
Remember all those envelopes containing spare buttons? Here's how I used some of them for my larger needles and pins.
They're now tucked down a side compartment in one of the trays in the top of my sewing box.
And by now I bet you're wondering where on earth the little red tool kit comes in.
Well, tools of course!
Between my Gran and I, we had a few tools of the sewing trade…
Believe it or not, the wooden handled tracing wheel, seam guide, and large seam ripper were mine in high school! Never mind, never mind – I said my stuff was 'semi-new'!
Here's something of Grannie's I never had! A scissors sharpener.
Do they even make these anymore? The scissors you see are mine… would you dare use them to cut paper? No, my family doesn't either 😉
Anyway, I thought the little red tool box would be perfect for our sewing tools!
I slipped the sharp objects into the little leather pouch on the right, just to protect them and the red paint that's still in tact!
Everything fit perfectly.
And the lid even closed! 🙂
My Gran's sewing box is empty now, and all our sewing things combined. You see, I have to do some minor repairs to it, because the screws that hold the hinges in place are really loose, and the drawers are pretty shaky when they're pulled open.
In the meantime I will just enjoy it for the beautiful piece that it is. Well used, and well loved!
Do you craft or sew? What kind of organizational strategies do you use for all the 'stuff' that goes with it? Oh, and if you noticed the old Aspirin bottle in the first photo, pop by next week… I'll show you some of the other treasures that kind of go with it!
So happy to be featured over at Junkin Joe's! Thank you, Andrea 🙂

As we transition from summer to fall, it is helpful to focus on keeping ourselves healthy. Seasonal changes often affect people physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually. Be conscious of your physical, mental, and emotional responses as you shift from your "summer mode" into fall.
Unreasonable expectations (ours or someone else's) can interfere with our taking care of ourselves in ways that we may have discovered benefited us during the summer. Perhaps you discovered that by reserving a few extra moments to lie in bed you were able to consciously consider that which you are grateful for. You may have discovered, this past summer, that you enjoyed a pace that was just slow enough to notice that which usually eludes you during the rest of the year. Or maybe you made an effort to really listen to those people who are important to you. During this summer you may have even turned off your BlackBerry and cell phone during meals, story time, or while watching a movie with the family.
Understand that during any transition you will likely feel different from how you normally feel. Allow yourself to listen to what is going on within. Quiet yourself and just pay attention. Change can contribute to a sense of uneasiness. You may feel anxious or exuberant or any and all feelings along the spectrum. Change and transition are challenges and opportunities. Although you may feel hesitant about what lies ahead, know that you can develop a positive, "can do" attitude which will help you go forward or deal with whatever is on your plate.

Grooming behavior in bees was one of the mite-fighting qualities we were all excited to find years ago. It led to screened bottom boards where some 20% of the mites groomed off of a bee fell through the screen and onto the ground never to be seen again. That was a good thing. Along with SMR and VSH, it added something to the toolbox for natural mite fighting genetics from the bees themselves. That said, watch this video for what happens to the mites in that OTHER 80% of the time.
As you saw, the mite was groomed off the first bee. But then it just grabbed back onto that same bee again. When she groomed it off a second time, it jumped back on yet another worker bee which happened to walk over it. This wastes a lot of energy!
So the Heartland Honey Bee Breeders Cooperative partnered with Dr. Greg Hunt and Krispn Given at Purdue University to create a bee with genetics which included chewing the legs off of mites. Since varroa mites can't coagulate. a chewed mite is a dead mite!

Must We Run?
Must we, must we, run and run?
From books, the world, the schools, our sons?
Must we run?
Do we fear – what do we fear?
Books? Ideas? Laughter? Beer?
Do we fear? Yes, oh yes we fear!
And is it fear that grips our chest,
Not faith, not love, or mind well-kept…
…but fear?!
I may fail, and you may fail.
We may die, a morbid crushing sleep,
Smothered lifeless in the Library
No God to save from Nietzsche, Hume, and Kant.
We may fail.
And fail is fear. And so we flee.
But flee from where?
And flee to where?
From TV, radio, book, school, friend, neighbor, society, event?
To steeple, Bible, Brethren, safe book, safe radio, safe entertainment?
When do we stop running?
How do we teach our children to run?
From what?
To where?
And where to stop.
Can they stop?
Will they run?
Whence cometh fear? Whither leadeth it?
And what verily is thine fruit?
Do we dare – yes, could we dare?
I will dare you if you dare me
And together we will dare
To face the machine, shiny and tall
To weave the staircase, slippery, small
To read and yawn and fight and peak
To learn and earn the right to speak
And from that height we shall not fear
But yell to all to unstop ears!
The truth, the truth, the truth we cry
The truth, the truth, we search we pry,
The truth, the truth, the truth we see
The truth, the truth, will set us free.
Dream, oh dream oh dream the day
May come and live and breathe again
Not in the church, not in the street,
Not in a corner still, discreet
But in the world the truth proclaim
And in the schools, Your truth remain.
Could this, would this dream be mine?
Could I, would I find the time?
Is it worth it?
Do You love it?
Would it serve You, Lord?
I dream, I dream, I dream the day
When hordes of saints will rise to say,
"Our God we serve, with Heart and Mind,"
who leave all things absurd behind,
And who will never, ever run
From thoughts, ideas, book or gun.
But suffer through it all the way,
And boldly stand, to think and pray
And boldly stand, and think, and pray
To boldly stand.
And think.
And pray.

Fall TV preview, what you should watch and avoid
David Silverberg
Sep 8, 2010 in
DigitalJournal.com reviews the new series coming to Canada and the US this fall. Find out why Boardwalk Empire is a must-watch show and why Matthew Perry should have never returned to television.
Every fall, we're bombarded with new TV shows hungry for our attention. It can be overwhelming to decide what to watch and what to ignore.
DigitalJournal.com has compiled several reviews of upcoming shows debuting in September (mainly in Canada and the US). Below are reviews of shows we highly recommend (A-List), shows with great potential (B-List) and series you should avoid like Hurricane Earl (D-List). Note the reviews are based on pilots and not on any follow-up shows in the series. We list the U.S. and Canadian networks where these show will air and when they will debut (all times ET).
The A-List
Boardwalk Empire
HBO, HBO Canada; Sept. 19, 9 p.m
Steve Buscemi finally departs from the side-character role to take the leading man spot on
Boardwalk Empire
, an HBO series about Prohibition-era mobsters. The pacing and characters keep you hooked, thanks to the pilot's director, legendary director Martin Scorcese (
Gangs of New York
). Atlantic City comes alive in this series, from the excellent set design to the sharp dress. What really gives this series extra polish is the writing: Buscemi deliver his lines with machine-gun precision, shades of Reservoir Dogs perhaps? Rest assured the final scene in the pilot will have you thirsty for more.
No Ordinary Family
ABC, CTV; Sept. 28, 8 p.m.
If you want to know where Rita from
ended up, check out
No Ordinary Family
Julie Benz
does a decent job playing a superhero mom, literally. Mom and family get magical powers, such as superhuman strength, after a plane crash in the Amazon. Forget the implausible idea of how water glowing green turned them into the Fantastic Four; instead, enjoy the storyline and the depth of this show. It's not just about parents with super skills; it speaks on the struggle of keeping a family together when everyday stress threatens to pull them apart. A very watchable show that should get better as the season progresses.
Michael Chiklis and Julie Benz star in ABC's new show No Ordinary Family
CTV Media
The B-List
$h*! My Dad Says
CBS, CTV; Thursday, 8:30 p.m.
William Shatner is back and he brings his sly sense of humour to the table for
$h*! My Dad Says
, based on a
account of the same name. Shatner lives with his son who has to deal with his father's quirks and embarrassing jokes, each more ridiculous than the next. Shatner makes his character believable, somehow, and his lines are the ones you'll enjoy most. The supporting cast is quite weak, including MADtv castoffs Will Sasso and Nicole Sullivan. If only the other actors could be as sharp as Shatner, this would be A-list material.
William Shatner stars in &H*! My Dad Says
CTV Media
Showcase, Global; Wednesday 10 p.m
Call it a copy show with a mental twist.
Callum Keith Rennie
plays a detective afflicted with multiple personality disorder, causing him to shift into a violent troublemaker at the most inopportune moments. His partner has to learn about the disorder as she goes, but too bad Camille Sullivan can do nothing but look anxious in every scene. Molly Parker is wasted as the wife who also has to deal with her two-faced husband, but the real winner here is Rennie. He flips between two personalities so effortlessly it never looks strained, and the tension in the pilot is a sign of great things to come. But it has the potential to be a routine crime drama, if it falls into the same blueprint every episode.
Callum Keith Rennie stars as a police officer with multiple personality disorder in Shattered
The Defenders
CBS, CTV; Sept 22, 8 p.m.
Landing in this lucrative prime-time slot on Wednesday nights is a legal drama CBS hopes will squash the new
Law & Order
coming to NBC. It just might: Jerry O'Connell and Jim Belushi (remember him?) play two smart but smarmy defense attorneys in Las Vegas. O'Connell doesn't stretch his acting range too far, what with his love of fast cars and hot women. Belushi is the better actor out of the two, and it's a shame O'Connell's lacklustre performance drags down the show. It has potential, because when was the last time the networks aired a legal series focusing on defense attorneys? The writing crackles at moments and the plot twists come unexpectedly. Let's just hope we don't get pointless spinoffs like
The Defenders: Special Victim Unit
Jim Belushi and Jerry O'Connell star in the new legal drama The Defenders
CTV Media
The D-List
CW, A-channel; Sept. 8, 9 p.m.
Want to see a freshman drama/comedy about cheerleading? Right, neither do we, but for some reason
has been green-lit. It's a lousy show with a tired premise: Marti Perkins (Aly Michalka) is a pre-law student at Lancer University in Memphis and she needs money, fast. She joins the college's competitive cheerleading squad to earn some scholarship help and soon finds herself beset by backstabbing chicks and flirty guys. Yawn.
's already gone down this road. Maybe some people will be enthralled by the cheerleading moves but you'll find more intriguing athleticism at your local breakdancing competition.
Hellcats is a cheerleading drama on CW/A-Channel
Mr. Sunshine
ABC, A-channel; midseason
Halfway through the pilot, you'll start to hate Matthew Perry. The hate-on is partially thanks to his character, Ben Donovan, a self-involved manager of a San Diego sports arena who thinks the world revolves around his trivial problems. You'll also be frustrated with Perry's acting, which hits the same note over and over. Perry should stay away from TV shows where there's little depth or originality in the writing. His star power can't save this show. We predict
Mr. Sunshine
will flop faster than a Baywatch remake.
Mike & Molly
(CBS, A-Channel; Sept. 20, 9:30 p.m.)
Mike & Molly
is hug-able, if that makes sense. It's tempting to hug the leading characters in this laugh-tracked comedy, Mike (Bill Gardell from My Name is Earl) the overweight cop and Molly (Melissa McCarthy from Gilmore Girls) the obese school teacher. They're just looking for love between Overeaters Anonymous meetings, but too bad the jokes fall flat and the supporting cast steals tension away from the core. Mike's sidekick jabbers too much with fat-guy one-liners and Molly's sister plays the weed-loving tart without any nuanced subtelty. Keep in mind
Mike & Molly
are from the same brains who brought us
Two and a Half Men
, so if you like that kind of humour -- instead of the intelligent
30 Rock
stuff -- you'll fall in love with this show. Otherwise, you won't be able to get past the 15-minute mark.
Mike & Molly is a new comedy coming to CBS and A-Channel this fall season

(Starred Review) "Those familiar with Fumentos previous two books . . . know that this medical journalist has a knack for debunking popular beliefs and revealing the true state of things. While this candid approach has incited controversy before, the authors tone here is too likable to provoke the ire even of those groups he is most critical of . . . . Fumento is a rational man, but that doesnt mean hes dry. In fact, hes a sharp and witty writer who isnt afraid to joke around." — Publishers Weekly
(Starred Review) "Despite a $39 billion diet industry and the proliferation of "fat free, sugar-free, guilt-free" foods, Americans are fatter than ever and fatter than anyone else in the world. Fumento, a medical journalist and author of the controversial The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS, blames a variety of factors, from nutritional fads to the cult of victimization to the merchandising of oversized food portions. His basic premise, however, is that we must accept the fact that the more calories we ingest and the fewer we burn off, the fatter we get. True self-esteem, he notes, comes from taking control of our lives and responsibility for our actions. He indicts the myriad weight-loss `miracle gimmicks and reiterates the unpopular but proven remedy: Eat less and exercise more. Highly recommended." — Library Journal
- "Anyone whos trying to lose weight can surely benefit from this simple, humorous, educational, no-nonsense volume by Arlington medical journalist Fumento. Its filled with his own experiences in the dieting game, quotes from just about everyone ever associated with workable — and mythological — weight-loss plans, pages of endnotes to back up whats quoted, and puns that bring a smile to even the most skeptical lips . . . . This book is bulging with information, heavy on the humor and spiced with stories of profiteers and pushy peddlers in the diet industry. Its loaded with charts and statistics, but they dont detract from the overall good read."
- "He writes that [the purpose] of The Fat of the Land [was] to bring together the best science has yet to offer the obese and slap it between two covers, and then do my darndest to make the science interesting. Mission accomplished, Michael. If you want to lose weight, do what Fumento recommends — count calories and get off your duff. And do what I recommend — read this book." — Charlene Cason, Norfolk, Virginia Pilot
- "Michael Fumento, in The Fat Of The Land, has the guts to say that the emperors clothes dont fit because the emperor is too fat. He debunks a lot of the myths about fat, dieting, exercise, and the industries that (pardon the pun) feed on them. He backs it up with a lot of research from very reputable sources. Hes going to make a lot of people very angry on two fronts: those who make all that money off the dieting public; and that same public who has spent all that money. Fumento writes what amounts to a doctoral dissertation with a sense of humor. His writing style is very friendly, and easy to understand. Thats good, because what he has to say needs to be told to those who dont realize that the diet industry has been leading them down the supermarket aisle for years. Fumento does not play favorites in this book, nor does he recommend any specific diet plans other than a proper diet and exercise. But everyone who has been fighting the battle of the bulge should read this book. Then go out and burn your other diet books. Thats tough advice, but it wont make much difference, because most people who buy them dont follow them anyway. — San Antonio Express News
- "The very act of living in the United States puts you at great risk for obesity, warns science writer Fumento [who] charges that the current craze for low-fat but not-so-low-calorie processed foods is giving consumers bigger waistlines while making megabucks for the food industry. The other profit-makers he pillories, with words like huckster and sham, are the writers (and publishers) of diet books. It is time for an attitude adjustment, he argues, calling for society to return to the values of moderation and setting limits. — Kirkus Reviews
- "This book is a call to action and a sermon to the heavyset. Mr. Fumento used to be one of them. With the passion of the convert, he tell them not to accept their appearance. They arent condemned to blubber by their genes, and they will probably die early if they dont get rid of it—the statistics are incontrovertible. Along the way, Mr. Fumento takes on diet quackery with his vintage skewer. His main target is the idea that fat content in foods is all that matters, a theory tacitly endorsed by the nations labeling laws. Wrong, he says. Calories are calories." — Tim Ferguson, Wall Street Journal
- "Putting theories to test and shysters to shame, the book is worth reading for its lively look at the confusing ideas out there." — Angela Allen, San Diego Union-Tribune
Read Michael Fumentos additional work on obesity.
Michael Fumento is the author of the numerous books, including Science Under Siege.

Australia: Northern Territory 'incredibly close' to getting ICAC-style anti-corruption commission, Labor says
The Country Liberal party (CLP) has narrowly defeated a Labor motion supporting the creation of an anti-corruption commission in the Northern Territory, similar to ICAC in New South Wales.
The motion had the support of the three independents as well as Robyn Lambley, who announced her acrimonious resignation from the ruling CLP earlier on Wednesday.
The vote was split at 12-12, but under parliamentary rules that meant the negative won.
Speaker Kezia Purick did not vote.
