OK, so if I install the bootloader using the Arduino as an ISP/breadboard method. I should then be able to use any of these chips. Right?How to I select what bootloader to install?From what I can read the Atmega88 is not supported?Is the Atmega48 supported?One more "kinda" related question.If i want to use the atmega chip outside the Uno board, but I want it to use it's internal clock. Do I need a special bootloader?And if I install a bootloader on a chip using the Arduino as an ISP/breadboard method without a crystal. Will is be usable on my Uno running at 16mhz? Not sure if my question is clear?
atmega88's are pin compatible with atmega8's but have some internal differences. per this http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc2553.pdf
I have support for a LOT of different vesions of the ATMEGA chip in my version of the libraries. Refer tohttp://www.avr-developers.com/
// ATMEL ATTINY45 / ARDUINO//// +-\/-+// Ain0 (D 5) PB5 1| |8 Vcc// Ain3 (D 3) PB3 2| |7 PB2 (D 2) Ain1// Ain2 (D 4) PB4 3| |6 PB1 (D 1) pwm1// GND 4| |5 PB0 (D 0) pwm0// +----+
My board = UnoDevices I want to use (and load bootloaders on) = Atmega 48v running at 10mhz, 88, 168 and 328.
Method = breadboard with crystal connected to Uno board.
Note that the 48 won't support a bootloader.

When I'm asked if I live alone, I reply, "No, I live with Lucy." Lucy is my 12-year-old Beagle. She's a stubborn little dog, but especially sweet and loving. My late husband, Don, and I adopted her from the local shelter nine years ago. We had been checking the shelter weekly, and when we drove up one Sunday in early June, the attendant said, "I have just the dog for you." He led us to a tri-colored hound, unlocked the pen and said, "Her name is Lucy."
The frisky Beagle charged toward us, running from one to the other. She wiggled all over when we stooped down to pat her. We were hooked immediately by her affection. "Her ears are like velvet," I said, stroking her and smiling up at Don. He nodded, then asked the attendant, "Where do we sign?"
Within minutes, the paperwork was completed. Don opened the back door of our Buick station wagon and Lucy hopped right in. The trip home took about 10 minutes. She sat looking out the window as though she had ridden with us all her life. When she placed her front right paw on the armrest, we knew she was special; later that night, as we listened to her snore, we agreed she was a perfect fit. I intended for her to be Don's dog. He had recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and I had read that a dog would be helpful. They became buddies at once. Don spent hours in the back yard throwing a tennis ball, which Lucy raced after but never retrieved. She'd sit at the ball and wait until Don traipsed across the yard to pick it up and throw it again. They never tired of that little game. As his illness progressed, his stride became a slow shuffle. Lucy waited patiently for him to reach her. "Go get it," he said, tossing the ball again.
One afternoon, it became quiet in the back yard. I headed toward the door to check on them, then noticed that they were both asleep on the braided rug in the family room. Don's arm was around Lucy. When I approached, she opened her eyes without moving an inch, so as not to disturb him. I ran for the camera.
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
When Don puttered around the yard or went down to the basement, she was at his side. Evenings, after they had their ice cream, he sat in his recliner with Lucy curled up on his lap.
In September, we signed her up for obedience training. I handled her during classes, as Don's memory was failing; he sat on a bench nearby and watched. The instructor said Beagles are stubborn, but Lucy surprised us. Head and tail held high, she pranced along beside me like a show dog. As a proud mother, I beamed.
When I could no longer provide Don's care, he became a resident at a nursing facility. Lucy mourned his absence in our home. She waited at the back door with the tennis ball in her mouth. If I opened the freezer door, she dashed into the kitchen, expecting ice cream.
Each afternoon, we visited Don. Lucy was so excited that she dragged me across the parking lot. She stood on her hind legs at his wheelchair, her entire body wagging. Don's laughter filled the hallway. As his illness progressed and he was no longer able to acknowledge us, Lucy was completely undemanding. She sat quietly at the foot of his wheelchair and grieved.
Evenings at home, when I sat in Don's recliner, Lucy would jump up on my lap. I welcomed the closeness, but her 36 pounds was too much for me. I'd point to the floor and say, "Down, girl, down. You're too heavy for me." Reluctantly, she'd jump down and nestle alongside the chair, looking up. I rubbed her velvet ears, and we were both comforted.
It's been nearly four years since we lost Don. That sensitive little Beagle has transferred her love to me. Her companionship and loyal devotion fill the void in my life. She is never far away, and I talk to her all day long. Her bed is in a corner of my bedroom. Every night before she settles down, she comes alongside the bed for a little smooch. I pat her head and say, "You're a good girl. Mommy loves you." It fills a need for both of us.
I've had many dogs in my 83 years, but never one as loving and devoted as my Lucy. She keeps me company, makes me laugh and snuggles up when she senses I'm lonely. She is the perfect housemate. I don't know what I'd do without her.

Post subject: Off Topic: Wolfgang Puck Phone Interview
On June 5, 2013, I had the opportunity to spend ten minutes on the phone with Chef Wolfgang Puck who is introducing a new countertop appliance, the
NovoPro Oven
. Chef Puck was able to speak a few minutes about his new oven (which he is selling on HSN this weekend), and I got the opportunity to ask him a few questions ranging from the theatricality of fine dining to eggs to barbecue.
I generally prefer to write and will often decline interviews (both where I'm the subject and where I'm the interviewer) because I tend to sound "funny" to my own ear. I become extremely conscious of my tendency to use "uh" and "um" to fill space, and, when I say something that sounds weird, my brain ends up interrupting my thought process with the equivalent of a running commentary and critique. The strangeness and awkwardness I feel would probably subside if I simply practiced more, but, in the meantime, I just end up getting flustered and sometimes forget what I was going to say next. This happened a couple times during the interview, but, hopefully, I recovered quickly enough that it's not apparent. (When I listen to it, it's painfully obvious to me.)
The interview was conducted by phone and I had a hard time hearing (the volume was fairly low). It also appears that there was a slight delay of less than a second, but that threw things off a little as it was hard to detect pauses to interject comments or direct the interview to other questions.}?>
Before the interview, I was informed that I'd have eight to ten minutes of time with Chef Puck, he would speak about his NovoPro Oven, and I could ask him any questions I wanted. I was called at my appointed time, and a man verified that everything was working (you hear his voice near the end of the video telling Chef Puck that I had run out of time). His voice was loud and clear. I waited about a minute and the man came on and said it was my turn and I heard silence. I tentatively said "Hello?" and then I heard a very faint response that (after reviewing the video) turned out to be "Hello, how are you Michael?". I barreled along with what I had planned on saying at the beginning while hoping that the volume would get adjusted because I could not figure out what Chef said. He did not immediately plunge into talking about his NovoPro Oven, so I took the opportunity to get my first question out and asked about his thoughts on modernist techniques and molecular gastronomy. The volume was adjusted during his reply so I could make out what he was saying (but not always clearly). He then skillfully segued into talking about the new countertop low-pressure oven.
At one point in the interview, Chef Puck demonstrates how beautiful poultry looks when it comes out of the oven. I was surprised to find that I could not keep myself from playing along (even though I couldn't see anything since I was only on the phone) and actually uttered the word "wow". Luckily, after I received the video, the "wow" was not poorly timed. Good thing there was no video on my end or there might be evidence of my embarrassment (blushing for sure) at "selling out" so easily.
I wasn't sure how to redirect the conversation back to my questions... so I just did it (rather bluntly) once he had talked about the new oven for about five minutes. I spent the rest of the interview wondering if I had acted like a jerk by not letting him talk more about the oven, but, after watching the video, I think it turned out okay (or he's just a very gracious interviewee).
Anyway, I had a lot of fun doing the interview and I hope I asked some interesting questions. Have a look and let me know what you think.

One of the things that I didn't understand about the oven (and didn't press too hard about since I wanted to leave time for my other questions) was how "low pressure" cooking sped up the cooking process. Chef Puck's answer didn't seem to make sense to me.
After thinking about it for a bit, I think the only way it makes sense to me is that "low pressure" doesn't mean low pressure. I suspect it means low high pressure as in it's higher pressure than 1 atm but lower than a typical pressure cooker. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Although the body naturally makes CoQ10, this vitamin-like substance may be low in some people who have certain medical conditions. As a result, these people may need to take a supplement. The supplements can cause nausea, diarrhea, and heartburn. CoQ10 is responsible for several functions within the cells of the body, such as producing an important energy molecule, protecting cells from damage, and stabilizing cellular membranes.
What Is CoQ10?CoQ10 is short for coenzyme Q10 and is a vitamin-like substance necessary for life. Fortunately, the human body can make CoQ10 on its own, and most people probably do not need to take any supplements. However, levels can be low in people with certain medical conditions, and supplementation may be beneficial in some situations.
(Click Benefits of CoQ10 for more information on what this product is used for.)
- ATP production -- CoQ10 is important for the production of ATP, an important molecule in the body. ATP provides the energy for most of the processes within cells. The production of it occurs within certain structures in the cells known as mitochondria.
- Antioxidant effects -- CoQ10 acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidation damage from free radicals. It also helps cells "recycle" other antioxidants, such as vitamins E and C.
- Membrane stabilization -- CoQ10 may protect and stabilize cellular membranes.
These are just a few of the ways that researchers think the substance may work. As more studies are done, more information will become available about how it works.

Kendra Wilkinson, author of the new memoir Being Kendra: Cribs, Cocktails, & Getting My Sexy Back and star of Kendra is speaking out about her devastating struggle with postpartum depression so severe it took over her life, nearly destroying her marriage.
In a new exclusive interview with In Touch Weekly, Kendra reveals her harrowing two-year secret breakdown. "I felt devastated, helpless – like I was in a black hole," Kendra explains of her violent moodswings and a depression so intense it led her to lock herself in the closet to "scream and cry." Her feelings of isolation and hopelessness reached such dark levels "I even thought of harming myself. I just threatened [suicide] a lot.".
She admits that during her darkest days she had deep doubts about her marriage, believing: "Hank deserved better than me," and disclosing, "Hank and I slept in separate bedrooms."
Kendra believes her depression, which she has battled off and on since adolescence, was triggered following a move to Indiana for husband, Hank Baskett's NFL career, while subsequently adjusting to a new baby and the filming of her reality show. Feeling compelled to act normal, she "put on a brave face for the cameras," but was breaking inside behind closed doors, causing her to take things out on Hank, her extended family, and even crew members.
"There were times when I knew I was about to snap. I'd be like, 'Hank, go! Go away!' I didn't feel right. Hank would take the baby, and leave the room," Kendra recounts. Though she started most of their fights, causing them to argue so much "she feared their marriage was over," Kendra couldn't control her anger "at both Hank and herself."
"I was just mean," Kendra states, depicting the rages she would fly into; blaming her husband for "their unstable home life" and threatening to leave him, taking Baby Hank, if he didn't find a steady job. Kendra remembers that her "nagging got so bad" Hank experienced a panic attack and blacked out!
At the root of her fury, was a deep emotional anguish causing her to isolate herself from her husband: "There was no way I could talk about what I was feeling because I didn't know what it was. So we just had to stay apart." Despite the turmoil in her relationship, it was her self-loathing that was the most troubling. "I was crying and screaming all night," she recounts. "I wanted to hide from everyone. I felt like no one understood." Regardless of her attempts to convey her "self-destructive thoughts", Hank wasn't getting it: "He's not a therapist."
Contributing to her negative self-thoughts, was the celeb culture where famous mommies brag about losing the baby weight mere weeks after giving birth. Kendra felt hopeless about the clinging pounds nine-months following the birth of her son, despite her attempts to diet and exercise, and she developed poor body image. Her lack of confidence led to further isolation and depression as she avoided her "hotter" friends. Kendra confides that she felt so ugly "she would brush her teeth in pitch-dark, 'so I wouldn't have to look at myself in the mirror.'"
Realizing she needed help, Kendra ultimately sought therapy; not wanting to repeat the damaging behavior of her teenage years, which included cutting, hospitalization for depression, and two self-harming attempts. She credits her two-year-old son as her reason to enter therapy, "Baby Hank really made me stop, step back and realize, 'If I don't stop acting like this, he's going to pick up on it.' "
Now months following those dark days, she looks back on those times, describing: "I can say that it was a real breakdown that I had." She is thankful she chose a healthy solution to her depression, revealing: "I can't be selfish anymore," for the sake of her son and her husband, who she recognizes need her in their lives.
Today, Kendra happily acknowledges she is still working on her recovery "I've learned that I need therapy because I'm not 100 percent better," but she insists: "I'm going to live my life happy."
Being Kendra hits stores on September 20th. The fourth season of Kendra premiers September 25th on E! at 11/10c.
Thoughts on Kendra's story and her battle with postpartum depression? Are you impressed that she is open with fans about this harrowing time in her life? Will you be reading her book?

|Us, pre-ride.
But why shouldn't she be happy? Aside from all the earlier stuff I said about how horrible it is to bike in Tysons Corner, Christine actually has a pretty great bike commute on her ride home from her office to her home in Arlington. It's 10 miles and it's mostly on the W & OD trail and for the parts that aren't along the trail, she's figured out a pretty good approach. Given the nature of her job and various project deadlines, Christine doesn't always get to make two bike trips during a day, sometimes having to leave her bike at the office for days at a time. Truly understandable. I won't want to bike her route at 2AM either. But, luckily, yesterday was an absurdly beautiful day for a bicycle ride and we set off as the afternoon began to wane, but there was still more than enough light to see us through the trip.
We rode up curving driveway type road to another highway-style (I would describe most roads in Tysons as highway-style, meaning at least two wide lanes in each direction, slip lanes at intersections and an overall design that encourages drivers to travel somewhere north of 35 mph) and then down towards the mall where we waited in a long line of car traffic rather than jumping the queue. No worries. We turned left and circled the mall on what might have been a road and might have been a driveway. With parking lots everything and roads all looking like highways, it's really hard to differentiate.
And now I take back everything I said about Tysons not being bike friendly. Look, a bike lane!
|I'm slow
From there, we went over a bridge over a highway (on a narrow sidewalk with no guardrail) and then this is sort of where I lost track of the order in which we did stuff. We rode through a townhome community and we also rode on the sidewalk along Gallows Road and then past some not-exactly gated communities and then we turned into one and rode through, taking various cut-throughs as needed. Christine said that she used to ride on Gallows Road proper, but it wasn't especially enjoyable. I mean, for the name allow, right? In the residential neighborhoods (I think we passed a street called Tire Swing Road. No joke), traffic was quite light and I'm not even sure I remember encountering a driver looking to pass us. Christine told me about a 'coming together' (euphemism for gentle crash) with a driver at one of the intersections. Driver pulled out and it sounded like Christine sort of met the side of his car. No bodily or bicycle harm came of it, but it definitely made Christine more cognizant of the perils of blind drives and she now is extra vigilant about reducing her risk to these kinds of incidents. All things considered, while there wasn't much in the way of proper bike infrastructure, Christine has been able to come up with a pretty manageable route through Tysons aside from maybe a half a mile, I wouldn't describe it as intimidating at all. You don't necessarily need bike lanes and sharrows to have a bikeable route and I think this is especially true in quieter residential suburbs. Furthermore, many of the drivers we encountered on the bigger roads were really obliging, which isn't what I expected at all.
We wended a bit, went down a hill, crossed another intersection and arrived at the W & OD. In spite of having lived in Arlington for more than two years, my experience with this trail is pretty limited. I'm not even sure I've taken it out even past its intersection with the Custis. It's a converted rail trail, meaning it's pretty flat and straight. It's great and it's the primary connector for bicyclists from Arlington to Fairfax and back. It's basically a bicycle highway, but it's mixed-use and the nice day brought out tons of people walking, some with kids, some with strollers, which has a tendency to (rightfully) slow down bicycle traffic. At least for the most part. Some bicyclists belong the subset of people who are jerks and speed along at a pace that I don't think is especially advisable.
Christine rides the reverse commute back towards DC, while the overwhelming majority of bicyclists we saw were headed in the other direction. Christine told me that she has about five regulars that she sees (and nods to, though some cases without acknowledgment back) and her regulars pretty much match in demography the average bike commuter around these parts, which is to say older, white and male. I'd pretty much say the rule was that almost every bicyclist we saw was wearing some sort of athletic wear, from full on superbiker lycra to t shirts and mesh shorts. I think this is pretty much reasonable. We're not exactly talking a dense area here and I'd suspect that the average bike commuter is covering a pretty good amount of miles. While it'd be perfectly fine to ride a work clothes, there's something about riding on the trail that seems to lend itself to a more sporty presentation.
My current bike commute is sort of the antithesis of Christine's. On mine, it's basically non-stop stopping. On hers, it's not non-stop stopping, which is to say non-stop going. It's rather pleasant and I very much enjoyed it. It was also nice to ride along with someone and chat. Christine told me that sometimes it gets a little boring when you're riding by yourself and for that for a while, she had a 'commute buddy'. This seems sensible. There's not exactly a lot to look at.
It was a drama-free ride and I don't think we had any close calls or anything especially dangerous occur, though not necessarily thanks to the trail itself, which gets hilly and has some blind spots once you get on the Custis. I think the prudence demands a reduction in speed. We took the Custis to Fairfax Drive and rode Fairfax Drive for a while before heading over to Washington Boulevard for a drink. Here are our bikes:
|They're resting
- A lot of her coworkers are bike curious and some have even commuted by bike.
- She doesn't see a lot of regular woman riders on her route.
- Winter cycling sucks when they don't clear the trail of ice and snow and you might as well just take the bus.
- A lack of shower facilities poses a challenge, but not an insurmountable one.
- She, like me, misses reading, which is something we both did more of when we took public transportation to work. This is one of the biggest trade-offs for bike commuting.
- She is a fan of Ellie the Poodle. Who isn't?

A Sweet Intent - A Confectionary
This is a company comprised of 3 sisters who love to create sweet confections. Our recipes come from generations of great cooks, friends, and our own experimentations. The name of our company fits us to a T. Everything we do in our designs is very intentional and very literal. We don't just choose colors on a whim; every color evokes a certain emotion. We bake cakes, cupcakes, cookies, breads, sweets. We also do eggless cakes. If we don't do it; we are willing to learn how to do it the right way and deliver an exceptional product. All of our designs thus far have had a wow factor. We've left people raving about how the cake looked and tasted just as good. We also make Indian sweets that leave everyone wanting more. We started out doing this for family & friends and realized we were getting more and more requests for specialized cakes. We've attached some pictures of our creations to inspire you!
We are targeting foodies. A foodie is defined as "an informal term for a particular class of aficionado of food and drink." We want our target audience to know that every ingredient in our confections has an intent and a purpose. Need a cake for Valentine's day? Try our Orange Ginger Cake! Why ginger? Ginger is a natural aphrodisiac. In a nutshell, we want our audience to appreciate what they are putting in their mouth.
Color! We come from an Indian background, and if you know anything about Indian culture...we love color! We definitely want you to use one or more of the colors red orange and yellow.
The following is not a requirement, but we thought it was a good idea...having a silhouette of 3 women leaning on the words "A Sweet Intent" as if they were talking to each other. Again, we are open to other ideas...this one is not set in stone.

I also agree it is extremely naive to make a lifelong commitment, but marrying later in life increases the likelihood of things lasting. My parents did that, and I don't think anything could pry those two apart.
To me it's just a way to have the government acknowledge your union.
I think it's more than having the government acknowledge your commitment to one another--it's also making that announcement to your peers and family. Afterward, if you wear rings or make a symbolic name change, you're announcing your partnership to the community as well.
(Admission here) While I have only recently begun to refer to myself as "atheist", I have always been an unbeliever.
I was married in a church. Why? Straight up, I wanted to be a part of that lady's life, and she a part of mine.
Twenty-nine years on, and the love is stronger than ever.
For THIS atheist, marriage works.
That depends on what marriage means to the people involved. There are some benefits, at least in the U.S. at this time, which can only be had with marriage. It is a civil contract. It is also a religious sacrament for some people, but for those of us who have no religion, the notion of a sacrament, of course, is null and void. If, however, you would feel that you are being hypocritical to participate in marriage, by all means, refrain. If you are considering having children, it can be helpful in many ways because of some of the archaic laws (in the U.S., at least).
I don't feel hypocritical participating in marriage, although I am not married. There are good, practical reasons that my partner of 13 years and I are not married at this time. If the situation changes, we may marry. I would prefer not to marry again, however, until anyone in the U.S. who wishes to marry is able to do so.
However, if the only way I could provide needed healthcare for my child would be to marry someone who I trusted and loved, I would not hesitate to do so. I would NOT marry someone I did not love and trust deeply for that reason, because the legal entanglements involved are too serious.
As for dealing with compromise in a mixed atheist-Christian situation: when I married my daughter's father, I he was a cultural Christian (no real attachment to any particular church or doctrine) and I had left Christianity completely after having grown up in a fundamentalist Christian family. He had a vague desire for someone other than a judge to perform the ceremony, and I refused to have a Christian religious ceremony, but knew that our families would be happier if there were some sort of religious official involved. I found a Unitarian Universalist minister who agreed to perform the ceremony, which was held in my parents' back yard, and everything went off marvelously. (For a wedding planned in 5 days, it was incredible.)
One old friend, fundamentalist so extreme he couldn't find any church that didn't give offense in some way, wouldn't close his eyes during a prayer that wasn't addressed to any specifc being because he thought the minister might be praying to me and my new husband. When he told me about that later, I explained that while I knew he really, really wanted to find a nice girl and get married, doing so would not provide deification.
For what its worth, my partner and I met in a UU congregation. They tend to vary widely, but the UUA itself holds no dogma. It welcomes atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, and people of just about every religion. I would have to say that fundamentalists of any stripe would almost certainly be uncomfortable there. There will occasoinally be some exposure to "woo," but they do provide the benefit of a local community and the opportunity to raise children with the opportunity to learn about many different religious traditions without any bias towards (or against) or investment in any of them, and a strong commitment to social justice. The sex education program is absolutely incredible, as well. The community aspects were especially important to us as homeschoolers.
If all that marriage is, is a legal contract, then why not just draft up a legal contract? Why go through the whole marriage rigmarole?
If your relationship is successful, then marriage is fine and dandy; but if it goes south, as they often do, you are tied up legally, and dissolving the marriage takes lots of time, money, and emotional distress (apart from the emotional distress of a relationship falling apart).
I'm willing to concede that maybe it's not antiquated, and others clearly have use for it, and that is fine, by me (I'm all for marriage equality, for example). I'm purely talking about my personal views. I have seen too many friends, family, and acquaintances go through multiple marriages and divorces for it to be worth the risk, in my eyes.
Even putting aside legal issues, (most people don't get married for the rights, after all) love isn't always forever, and oftentimes even if love remains, it isn't always enough for "till death do you part." Love 'em while you got 'em. There's no need to pretend eternity.
Marriage is not JUST a legal contract. It comes with special rights and priviliges that can't be captured in other, legal contracts. That is why people go through with the whole rigmorole and why many others are fighting for those special rights and privilages that they are currently denied in many places instead of merely drawing up something with their lawyers.
You are welcome to view marriage with disdain and never marry, but I just wanted to point out that there is more to it than what perhaps many on this thread seem to realize. Half of all marriages in the U.S. fail and second marriages have even worse rates of divorce. It is not for everybody, I agree.
And you are right, love is not eternal and is often fleeting. But, love shouldn't be the only reason to marry someone. Love deludes and fools more often than not and there are many types of love. Having love helps a lot, but people should enter into marriages with their eyes wide open. Commitment is the key to a marriage, not love.
I understand that marriage grants certain rights that other contracts don't. In that case, rather than fighting for marriage equality alone, shouldn't those laws also be changed so that they CAN be captured in other contracts?
It should be my decision who has the right to see me in the hospital, or make medical decisions for me in the event that I cannot, regardless of marital status. If marriage is the ONLY contract that can grant certain rights, then it is essentially that contract making the decision, and not me. That in effect, makes me feel pressured into the institution of marriage simply so that someone close to me has the correct set of rights. It is arbitrary and needless provided those rights can be granted in other, less complicated ways.
I don't view marriage with disdain, I view it with distrust, and even then, only in relation to myself. I've been involved in one way or another in a bunch of marriages and I have been happy for the couples and families involved, and never held any feelings of disdain towards their decision.
I agree that commitment is the key to all good relationships, romantic or platonic, married or unmarried.
I understand that marriage grants certain rights that other contracts don't. In that case, rather than fighting for marriage equality alone, shouldn't those laws also be changed so that they CAN be captured in other contracts?
Maybe. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone with this, but my understanding is that marriage carries with it a lot of precedent across a broad range. This is important because with most legal contracts, if it is not written down, then it is not part of the contract. So, you'd have to right a contract that would cover every contingency that marriage covers by default. And even then, you'd fall well short of reaching the scope that marriage allows. For example, you can't make a contract with a person that will grant them something like Spousal Privilege. And even if you write a contract with someone that leaves all your belongings to them, your family could successfully challenge that after your death and your partner might be denied a home, a pension, life insurance monies, etc.
Right or wrong, it is what it is. I'd say that children, financials, and charged emotions are can what make marriages and divorces ugly, not the institution of marriage itself. And those things can happen within unmarried relationships and make the breaking of bonds everybit as hard as it would be if you were married. Buy a car or a house together and you just got married, financially, for 5 to 30 years. Have a kid and it's a bond for life.
I just wish America would catch up - there are other countries in the world you know, and they have totally different rules and laws than America does - much more civilzed and secular rules.
Being married or not married makes no difference in Australia.
Being married, fathers can turn into dead beat dads, as my ex did after 25 years of marriage - the same as de facto's can. Children can question a will - doesn't matter if the couple were married - or not - A man must still support a child, whether married or not - property is shared - married or not.
I have been in a de facto partnership now for 23 years - rights by law are the same - married or not - medical decisions - married or not. It's a brilliant way to live - no fear, and the law is on everybody's side.
Ah, yes marriage is antiquated and needless, but that depends on what country you live in.

Proba-3 is the third in ESA's series of missions for validating developments in space systems while carrying an 'added value' user payload which can directly benefit from the innovations under test.
Proba-3 will demonstrate the technologies required for formation flying of multiple spacecraft. An instrument to observe the solar corona is being used for the ongoing design phase.
During the ESA Council at Ministerial Level held in December 2005, new activities were proposed to cover the design, development and in-flight operation of a set of small satellites for the full-scale testing and validation of formation flying missions.
Formation flying technologies will make new types of missions possible and provide a leap in the performance of future science, Earth observation and application missions.
Mastering formation flying missions requires the development of specific technologies well beyond the present state-of-the-art in fields such as metrology and spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control.
Proba-3, currently in its preparatory study phase, will comprise two independent, three-axis stabilised spacecraft flying close to one another with the ability to accurately control the attitude and separation of the two craft.
Utilising either cold-gas or electrical thrusters for agile manoeuvring, and both radio-frequency and optical (laser-based) metrology techniques for accurate position measurement and control, the combined system is expected to achieve a relative positioning accuracy of the order of 100 microns over a separation range of 25 to 250 metres.
Other Proba spacecraft
Proba spacecraft are part of ESA's technology demonstration initiatives, funded through the General Support Technology Programme (GSTP). They are series of small, low-cost satellites that are being used to validate new spacecraft technologies, research techniques and development approaches, while also carrying scientific payloads.
The first satellite in the series, Proba-1, was launched in October 2001. Its primary payload is an imaging spectrometer for Earth observation. This instrument exploits the spacecraft's autonomy and high-performance attitude control and pointing capabilities. Originally designed for a two-year mission, Proba-1 is now in its fifth year of operations.
Proba-2 is currently under development and due for launch in September 2007. Seventeen new technological developments will be flown on Proba-2. Eight items form part of the spacecraft infrastructure, while the other nine are being carried as passenger technologies to gain flight heritage and experience before committing them to the infrastructure of other missions. Proba-2 will carry four experiments: two for solar observations and two for space weather measurements.

UH Manoa Native Hawaiian law center receives $1.2 million to advance new programs
Federal grant supports student and graduate fellows in research, scholarship and community outreachUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Aviam Soifer, (808) 956-6363
William S. Richardson School of Law
HONOLULU — Dean Aviam Soifer of the William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa recently announced the school's receipt of a federal grant of $1.2 million to continue the work of the Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law at the School of Law.
The Center, now in its second year, is using a portion of these funds to launch groundbreaking fellowship programs that support students and recent graduates in their research, scholarly writing, and discourse on Native Hawaiian law. The first-ever Post-Juris Doctor Research Fellowship Program, beginning this summer, enables recent law graduates to undertake cutting-edge research and to publish works through the Center for use by Native Hawaiian communities, scholars, and the public. The Center recently named Iokona Baker ('06 JD), Leʻa Kanehe ('01 JD, '98 BA) and Trisha Kehaulani Watson ('03 JD, '99 BA) as the first Research Fellows. The Center also launched its inaugural Post-Juris Doctor Community Outreach Fellowship Program that supports Kelli Lee ('06 JD) in developing outreach programs for Native Hawaiian youth and community members. The Center's fellowships are the only ones of their kind.
"The Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law is breaking new ground in promoting legal research and scholarship, as well as by providing outreach and a forum for intensive examination of legal issues affecting Native Hawaiians," commented Soifer. "We are very grateful, and proud of its vital ramifications for Hawaiʻi and for the world far beyond our shores."
The Center was established at the School of Law in 2005 under a federal grant administered by the U.S. Department of Education. The Center focuses on education, research, community outreach, and the preservation of invaluable historical, legal, and traditional and customary materials.
In its first year, under the direction of Melody Kapilialoha MacKenzie ('76 JD), the Center worked closely with Soifer and the Center's advisory board to undertake wide-ranging programs to educate law students and the greater Hawaiʻi community on issues. The Center's Student Fellowship Program provided six law students (Cherise Agua-Andrews, Amita Aung-Thwin, Scott Hovey, Brengyei Katosang, Lance Larson and Kaʻanoʻi Walk) with stipends to work on legal issues at Native Hawaiian organizations. The Center also is offering new courses at the School of Law on both Native Hawaiian and Native American law, and it will organize and host a number of conferences and events during the next academic year designed to deepen broad understanding of Native Hawaiian legal issues.
According to MacKenzie, "As part of our responsibility to the Native Hawaiian community and to future generations, the Center seeks to support Native Hawaiian law students as they pursue leadership roles and to serve as an educational resource—for both Native Hawaiians and the broader public—that is far-reaching and long-lasting."
The Center recently hired Susan Serrano ('98 JD) as the Director of Educational Development and expects to hire additional faculty to teach and to lead community outreach efforts. The Center recently produced the first guide to Native Hawaiian legal materials, now available at the School of Law library.
Soifer added, "The School of Law very much appreciates the efforts of our entire congressional delegation, and particularly Senator Inouye, in securing and defending the funding for this vitally important initiative."

We are aware that every customer has different demands of their vehicle. JBS can offer performance parts to suit all needs.
This could be anything form driving on public roads to track and drag racing, so the vehicle would require a completely different setup for each of these areas.
It is important that the vehicle's chassis and suspension are working as well as possible for the car to handle good in any situation. There are various products we can offer to help improve your vehicle handling.
Up-rated Bushes; suspension bushes are some of the most highly stressed components fitted to a motor vehicle. They undergo enormous strain and in the most arduous of conditions with no maintenance or lubrication. The materials they are manufactured from deteriorate with age becoming softer and more pliable, resisting the forces placed on it less and less. Therefore allowing more and more movement of suspension components and offering less and less control over the suspension geometry.
Even new cars will benefit from up rated Powerflex Bushes because of the superior design; they offer much more effective control of the suspension components to a much greater extent than normal rubber items.
Performance Suspension; for most applications a coilover package is the best option offering the most adjustability for your money. We also offer fixed height Springs and Dampers and Damper only kits.
Coilovers include springs and dampers; the spring seats are adjustable offering adjustable ride height and corner weight balance.
If the vehicle is still suffering adverse body roll even with the fitment of good quality dampers and springs, Anti-Roll-Bars (ARB) can be added to increase roll stiffness.
ARBs change the way the vehicle reacts to the forces generated during cornering, generating more under or over steer depending how you set the car up.
To help vehicle suspension system to work correctly it is important that the chassis is as stiff as possible, for this reason we recommend the use of upper and lower Strut Braces to stiffen the chassis between suspension pickup points.
With any chassis/suspension handling products the way your vehicle behaves on the road or track is only as good as the way it is set up and adjusted.

Court Says Warrantless Mobile Phone Tracking Is Unconstitutional
from the well-that-could-make-things-interesting deptIn an amazingly short and to the point ruling (embedded below), a judge in a district court in Southern Texas, Lynn Hughes, ruled that letting the government get mobile phone data without a warrant was unconstitutional:
When the government requests records from cellular services, data disclosing the location of the telephone at the time of particular calls may be acquired only by a warrant issued on probable cause. U.S. Const., amend. 4. The records show the date, time, called number, and location of the telephone when the call was made. These data are constitutionally protected from this intrusion. The standard under the Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d), is below that required by the Constitution.Of course, there are a number of cases out there that have ruled on similar issues... and come to different conclusions. This is one of those issues that will continue to bounce around until the Supreme Court clarifies. Still, there's something nice about seeing a court ruling of this nature, where the judge doesn't waste any time at all, and basically just says, "Hey, 4th Amendment! Next!"

Until three months ago, the answer to the following question seemed clearer and even cautiously optimistic for Padres fans.
Are the Padres gaining ground on their rivals in the National League West?
Certainly, the Padres have been making progress in some areas.
Since the 2010 season, the Padres' payroll budget has increased 57 percent from an embarrassingly low figure of $37 million to a still-lower-echelon mark of around $58 million this season.
And since 2009, the Padres' farm system has gone from being one of the weakest in the major leagues to being ranked among the top two organizations in a consensus of surveys that rank minor league systems.
Even if the measure is in baby steps, the Padres seemed to be gaining on their division rivals.
Then, the other shoe fell.
Money trail

Jeff Moorad resigned as Padres CEO as it became apparent that Major League Baseball was never going to approve his group's purchase of the club under its current management and financial structure.
As the end of spring training approaches, Padres ownership is once again in turmoil.
John Moores remains in control of the Padres with a 51 percent ownership share. Club President Tom Garfinkel has become interim CEO, a move that could have been made only with Moores' blessing.
So, where do the Padres go from here?
Does Moores again sell the Padres? The first time he put the club up for sale, while in the midst of a messy divorce, he trimmed the payroll from $75 million to $44 million over the course of one winter.
Does he retain control and return as an active owner? That seems unlikely, but remember, under Moores the Padres went to one World Series, won four National League West titles and got Petco Park built.
Either way, what becomes of the 2012 Padres? And what happens to the gains made the past three years with Moorad in control?
Will present leadership remain, or will it follow Moorad out the door? And will the Padres continue to follow their present path of building through the farm system while gradually — and many would say painfully too slowly — boosting the payroll?
And just where do the Padres stack up against the rest of the National League West — both this year and into the future?
"I like what we are doing," Padres General Manager Josh Byrnes said recently. "We're making gains on two fronts. I think we've improved this season's team over last season's and I think we're nicely positioned for the future."
When Byrnes looks at the Padres system, he can identify nine position players and seven pitchers with no major league experience who should be with the Padres in 2014.
The question is, will Byrnes?
Byrnes was hand-picked by Moorad to be GM in October when Jed Hoyer was all but told to leave San Diego for the same job with the Chicago Cubs. The Byrnes-Moorad relationship goes back to their days in Arizona.
But will Byrnes be the general manager of choice for the next owner?
All of which muddies the original question — are the Padres gaining on the National League West?
Three weeks ago, you could argue that was the case against three of their four division rivals.
Although their payroll is still the lowest in the division this season by $21 million, their 21 percent increase over last year was the biggest percentage jump in the NL West.
And their farm system was ranked among the top three by all three groups grading organizations. Arizona's farm system is regarded the second-best in the West, but only seventh or eighth in the major leagues. No other NL West team is ranked in the top 12 and the Giants system is ranked among the five worst in the major leagues.
"I think we have more major league-caliber players in our pipeline than any other team in our division," said Byrnes.
So, the future, ownership aside, looks bright. But what of the present?
Can the 2012 Padres surprise their rivals the way the 90-win, 2010 Padres did? Or will they land closer to the 71 wins of the 2011 Padres? The Las Vegas over-under lines for Padres wins in 2012 fall between 71½ and 75.
"I really think we're going to surprise people this season," said Mark Kotsay, who was brought in to boost both the Padres offense and clubhouse morale. "I don't think we're going to surprise us, because I think we already believe."
To improve on 2011, the Padres must find ways to score more runs and play better defense without losing much of their Petco Park-aided edge in pitching.
Last year, the Padres scored the third-fewest runs in the major leagues while recording a near impossible statistical double — leading the National League in strikeouts while finishing last in homers.
"Offensively, we came up short in a lot of areas last season," said Padres manager Bud Black. "Our situational hitting was not very good. And I promise you, we're not going to strike out like that again."
Most of the seven trades made by Byrnes over the winter were completed with the idea of improving the offense. The Padres added the bats of left fielder Carlos Quentin, first baseman Yonder Alonso and reserves Kotsay and John Baker — although it will be at least two weeks before Padres fans can see Quentin, who is rehabbing his right knee following surgery.
The Padres are also expecting continued improvement from catcher Nick Hundley, center fielder Cameron Maybin, right fielder Will Venable and third baseman Chase Headley while hoping the middle infield combination of shortstop Jason Bartlett and second baseman Orlando Hudson bounce back from the worst seasons of their careers.
"One hitter is not going to carry us," said Black. "We need improved contributions throughout the order. We think it's there."
On paper, the Padres' cornerstone pitching took a series of hits beginning with the trade of Mike Adams to Texas last July 31. Then closer Heath Bell departed via free agency and Mat Latos went to the Reds in a 4-for-1 deal.
But the Padres depart spring training believing the pitching is going to be better than even they expected.
In the rotation, Cory Luebke could develop into one of the National League's top left-handers. Clayton Richard and Dustin Moseley look healthy. And Edinson Volquez could match the 2011 results of Latos.
In the bullpen, while Huston Street lacks the power and durability of Bell, he is a proven closer. And Andrew Cashner has the ability to hit triple digits on the radar gun.
"We're optimistic," said Byrnes. "This club is going to surprise people."
Hopefully, one of those will be a potential owner.

Agency's attempt to enforce contradictory laws has sown more confusion
By Alan Fram
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The uproar over the Internal Revenue Service's heavy-handed treatment of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status can be traced partly to when New York University Law School went into the noodle business.
The 1947 episode — more on that later — helped produce conflicting laws covering the kinds of activities tax-exempt organizations may conduct. The IRS' attempt to enforce those contradictory laws with vague regulations has sown even more confusion, tax lawyers, former agency officials and others agree.
"It's hard for groups to understand what the standards are, and different lawyers have different definitions of where to draw the line," said Abby Levine, who dispenses advice on nonprofit status to scores of groups as legal director of the liberal Alliance for Justice.
While no one interviewed by The Associated Press for this story defended the IRS' targeting of tea party and other conservative groups, no one disputed that the rules governing political activities by tax-exempt organizations are hard for everyone to follow, including the IRS. With one law saying some tax-exempt groups must engage "exclusively" in social welfare work, while a regulation changes the threshold to "primarily," President Barack Obama said last month that the result is "a bunch of ambiguity."
In the spotlight is a section of the tax code that has become increasingly attractive to many organizations in recent years, 501(c)(4), which grants tax-exempt status to so-called social welfare groups. Over the years, such groups have been allowed to participate in overt political activity as long as they focus mostly on social welfare work. While many of them engage in little or no political activity, for those involved in politics the designation offers a valuable feature: It lets donors remain anonymous.
After the Supreme Court in its 2010 Citizens United decision allowed unfettered political spending by companies and unions, campaign spending by social welfare groups exploded. Between the 2008 and 2012 elections it tripled, to $254 million, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political expenditures.
The IRS received 3,357 applications for Section 501(c)(4) status last year, nearly double the number in 2010, according to the Treasury Department.
The story behind the confusion began a century ago, when Congress enacted legislation laying the groundwork for the modern income tax.
Exempted from the corporate income tax were nonprofits, including those "operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare" — the designation that many conservative groups have sought in the current controversy. An IRS history of tax-exempt organizations says it is assumed that provision in the 1913 law was requested by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Fast forward to 1947, when wealthy graduates donated the C.F. Mueller Co., a pasta maker, to the NYU law school. That transaction, and a court ruling letting NYU keep its Mueller profits tax-free, helped call attention to the tax treatment of nonprofits.
NYU and other nonprofits had been fattening their coffers through ownership of factories, department store chains, cattle ranches, the Encyclopedia Britannica and other profitable businesses on which they were not paying taxes. One congressional estimate put the lost tax revenue at $173 million a year, a large amount at the time.
Urged on by President Harry Truman, Congress passed a law in 1950 allowing some nonprofits to keep unrelated businesses if they paid income tax on them.
But that left federal laws stating two things: a 1913 statute saying groups must operate "exclusively" for social welfare purposes and the 1950 law saying they could do unrelated things after all, as long as they paid taxes on the profits.
"So 'exclusively' couldn't mean 'exclusively,' because later law acknowledged these organizations could engage in other activities" if you tax them, said Ellen Aprill, a tax law professor and expert on tax-exempt organizations at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.
The government soon faced another issue — a 1954 revamping of the entire federal tax code. Feeling a need to overhaul tax regulations, the Treasury Department issued new ones in 1959, producing even more ambiguity.
The new regulations addressed the two laws defining nonprofits by, for the first time, saying groups need only be "primarily engaged in promoting in some way the common good and general welfare." The rules permit "direct or indirect participation or intervention in political campaigns" for or against candidates, as long as that isn't the group's principal activity.
"Congress made no effort to harmonize those statutes," said Marcus S. Owens, a Washington tax attorney who spent the last decade of his 25-year IRS career heading its tax-exempt organizations division. So the government adopted the "primarily" approach "as the only methodology they could think of to harmonize the statutes," Owens said.
Despite decades of IRS rulings and court cases refining the rules, definitions remain hazy for terms like "primarily," "social welfare" and "intervention in political campaigns." Many lawyers, for example, say "primarily" means such groups can devote up to 49 percent of their resources to campaign activity, while others are more cautious.
While groups are supposed to devote most of their effort to "social welfare," that can include political issues if the work doesn't clearly support or oppose a candidate. That is a blurry distinction in an age when sophisticated political advertising writers tie politicians to specific viewpoints without explicitly calling for their defeat or re-election.
Such opaqueness can serve a purpose, such as letting tax-exempt groups hold fundraisers that are indirectly related to their main mission, experts say.
"I don't think the IRS would ever have wanted as a practical matter to be so severe that organizations are constantly disqualified on a foot fault on some tiny thing," said Richard Schmalbeck, who teaches tax law at Duke University Law School.
The vagueness has persisted for other reasons too, such as making it easier for such groups to wade into politics, benefiting Democrats and Republicans alike, analysts say.
Owens, the former IRS official, said he's unaware of any congressional efforts to clarify the rules over the decades. Though the IRS has removed tax-exempt status of groups supporting each major political party — including the conservative Christian Coalition and the Democratic Leadership Council — the vagueness of the regulations makes it hard to do.
"Congress was pretty happy leaving it up to the IRS to enforce this case by case, rather than stepping in and trying to find a clear, bright line," Owens said. Because the IRS had dealt with groups that clearly overstep the boundaries, "there's been no incentive for Congress to dabble there" with additional fine-tuning, Owens added.
To this day the IRS investigates each group to see whether it is engaging in political activity, using tests such as whether an election is approaching or whether the group gives opposing candidates equal opportunities to participate in events. If it is, the agency determines whether politics is the group's primary activity — a difficult judgment that can involve measuring money, time spent by workers and other factors.
"Congress put the IRS in the position of being the gatekeeper," said Gregory Colvin, a San Francisco attorney who has helped advise numerous nonprofit groups. He said that forces the agency to do "a huge job with an inadequate staff."
Colvin has led a group of tax law experts who have proposed tighter IRS regulations on political activity by tax-exempt groups. He said he would prefer to see political activity restricted to an "insubstantial" part of their work, such as about 15 percent.

Medicare turned 47 years old last Monday. Bill Mahan celebrated by setting up a booth on Main Street to try to convince passersby that America's health insurance crisis could be eased considerably if everyone had Medicare.
The Lexington retiree collected about 125 signatures for his petition. It asks members of Congress to support proposed legislation that would strengthen Medicare, which now covers more than 47 million seniors and disabled people, and make it the vehicle for providing basic universal health insurance coverage.
But Mahan spent much of his seven hours on Main Street listening to people tell him their horror stories: lack of insurance, inadequate coverage, baffling paperwork, treatment they can't afford to get and medical bills they can't afford to pay.
"I've heard so many stories, it's just unbelievable," said Mahan, 68, who went on Medicare three years ago. "I don't know what to tell these people."
What Mahan mostly tells them is that these problems are likely to continue until the United States has a single-payer health insurance system.
Under proposed single-payer systems, private doctors and hospitals would provide health care services, but the government would pay the cost from tax revenue. It is the system used in Canada and most European countries, which the World Heath Organization says offers better care for less cost than the United States does.
President Harry S. Truman proposed a single- payer system after World War II, but business interests fought it. President Lyndon Johnson was able to muster enough political support to create Medicare for seniors, which he signed into law July 30, 1965.
When President Barack Obama and a Democratic-controlled Congress pushed through health care reform legislation in 2010, a single-payer system wasn't even considered. That was because of opposition from insurance companies, which wouldn't even allow a "public option" choice.
Instead, we ended up with reform legislation that will cover more people and outlaw the worst insurance industry abuses but still will leave an estimated 23 million people uninsured and do too little to curb rising costs.
Republicans have vowed to repeal "Obamacare" but have proposed no adequate alternatives. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky complains that Obama's health care law is "Europeanizing" America, but he fails to mention that those European systems provide high-quality, universal care with much less administrative cost and hassle.
Never Miss a Beat.

The most radical GOP plan, proposed by Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and endorsed by many Republican leaders, essentially would privatize Medicare. But an independent analysis by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office found that Ryan's plan, rather than reducing costs, would increase them dramatically, including almost doubling seniors' out-of-pocket expenses.
Ironically, Obama's reform law was based on market concepts developed by the conservative Heritage Foundation. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney created a similar — and rather successful — health insurance system for Massachusetts when he was governor.
Single-payer advocates say "Obamacare" is better than what we had, but it just further subsidizes private insurance companies. It reinforces our current system's fatal flaw: the inherent conflict between businesses trying to make as much money as possible and society's need to provide basic health care to everyone at an affordable cost.
"Insurance companies don't improve health care," Mahan said. "They only add cost and complexity."
Improving and expanding Medicare would require tax increases, but single-payer advocates think that, on balance, they would amount to far less than we now pay for private insurance that costs more and covers less with each passing year. That has been the experience in countries with single-payer systems.
House Resolution 676, introduced by Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., to create a single-payer system, has been endorsed by dozens of consumer groups, church denominations and organizations representing thousands of physicians and other health professionals. Advocacy groups include Kentuckians for Single Payer Healthcare (Kyhealthcare.org), Improved Medicare for All (Medicareforall.org) and Physicians for a National Health Program (Pnhp.org).
But without public pressure, the legislation is unlikely to get a fair hearing in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives or the Democratic-controlled Senate. The health insurance industry is just too powerful.
During Romney's recent overseas campaign trip, the Republican presidential candidate praised Israel for having a healthy population while spending only 8 percent of gross domestic product on health care, compared to 18 percent in the United States.
How does Israel do it? Since 1995, the Jewish state has had a non-profit insurance system heavily controlled by the government that provides basic health care for everyone. Imagine that.

Use your hot tub to lose weight? There's been a lot of chatter and controversy surrounding the idea. A lot of hot tub blogs point to a study from 1999, published by the New England Journal of Medicine which showed that Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients slept more peacefully, required less insulin injections and lost weight, when they used a hot tub daily.
Was the hot tub a participant in the weight loss? You betcha, but correlation is not causality. Hot water soaking will relax muscles, increase circulation and respiration, and through perspiration, you can lose water weight, unless you are sipping water while in the tub.
Some say that the more restful sleep is the reason that the participants in this hot tub study showed weight loss, while others will discount the weight loss as merely water weight loss. And though I'm not aware of the significance, the reduced need for insulin is also an interesting result.
We have to mention the popular book the "Hot Tub Diet", by Bridget Praytor. The book was written after the author suffered an automobile accident, and she was unable to maintain any exercise regimens, all she could do is climb into her spa for relief. But the real story is that she learned to reevaluate her physical perception and change her diet, while using her hot tub – a lot.
I think that everyone would agree that the secret to weight loss is exercise and good nutrition. Spas and hot tubs can certainly aid in recovery time after you exercise, whether you bike, run, swim or do exercise routines. And in that regard, combined with more restful sleep, allows your exercise to have a greater effect.
However, if you did water exercises in the spa, or hot tub yoga – you will expend calories while you stretch and extend into some yoga poses or pilates moves – you know, modern calisthenics.
So, Can you Lose Weight in a Hot Tub?
Your hot tub can be a factor in helping you to lose weight by improving sleep, exercise recovery, blood flow, breathing and perspiration. But sitting in your spa, and melting away the pounds? No.
However, if you use your spa for even mild stretching, you can easily shed 100 calories during a 20 minute hot tub session.

"[The judges] announce the suspension of the court sessions until the time when they can continue their message and rulings in cases without any psychological and material pressures," the court said in a statement.
"The court registers its deep regret and pain at the methods of psychological assassination of its judges," it said.
Several hundred Islamists protested outside the court building on Sunday ahead of a session in which it was due to examine cases against the legality of the upper house of Parliament and the assembly that drafted the new Constitution, both bodies dominated by Islamists.
The protest reflected the deep suspicion harboured by Egypt's Islamists towards a court they see as a vestige of the Hosni Mubarak era.
The same court ruled in June to dissolve the Muslim Brotherhood-led lower house of Parliament. – Reuters
