The best things in life are free
Research ››› ››› ERIC ALTERMAN
I've got a new Think Again column called "Poll Faults" here, and the Guardian thing I did on the dangers presented by Bloomberg is here.
MSNBC.com has published Bill Dedman's story in which he searched out the number of journalists who gave money to candidates and political organizations, here. I never give money, or participate in political fundraisers, because I don't want hassles from stories like this. But I don't see anything wrong with it either. The more information readers, viewers, and listeners have about the people who are providing their information the better, I say. Not giving money does not eliminate the views and feelings that inspire these contributions. It merely keeps the news consumer in the dark.
Dedman's story is misleading because its primary assumption is that journalists determine the content of the news. I think it would be a lot more useful for him to report on, say, the political contributions of the General Electric Co. that owns NBC and MSNBC, which, I would argue, is a great deal more influential than any journalist's particular feeling. Ditto the Walt Disney Company, Viacom, and of course Fox. (Rupert Murdoch has admitted, publicly, that he deployed Fox, et al, in support of Bush's war in Iraq.)
For instance, how well did MSNBC.com report on the story that then-GE CEO Jack Welch allegedly demanded that the NBC election desk call the 2000 election for George W. Bush in the hopes of getting a favorable ruling on GE's costly PCB pollution case? (I was told this, by the way, by an MSNBC.com producer, who was told, the person informed me, by a witness to the act itself.) And in mentioning Joe Scarborough, why did Dedman not report on the fact that the MSNBC host actually appeared, together with other Republican luminaries, on a podium with George W. Bush during the 2004 campaign while he was employed by the station to report and comment on the news? These stories strike me as a great deal more significant than the $500 contribution to Moveon.org by a New Yorker copy editor. (And I have not even bothered to look up PAC contributions and executive contributions made by these companies, which no doubt dwarf the tiny amounts given by individual journalists.)
Look, journalists are only one element in a story of what ultimately gets reported. Editors, producers, executives and, of course, the corporate people who hire and fire them are ultimately far more important. And while Dedman may have been thorough in his investigating (though he doesn't include journalists' spouses and children, which is how I would do it if I were looking to hide my own contribution from my employer and snooping journalists ...), it's a decidedly unscientific method to determine whether the media lean left or right, or even whether most journalists do. The number of journalists who give money is not, in any way, representative of the journalistic profession at large. The numbers are way too small. They are only representative of those journalists who feel empowered to give money, which is, if Dedman's reporting is thorough, infinitesimal.
And finally, what in the world does the fact that Orville Schell gave What Liberal Media? a favorable review in The New York Times have to do with a story about journalists giving money to political candidates? The answer is, obviously nothing. (And Schell was a dean, not a journalist, at the time.) Dedman appears to think that this review somehow demonstrates that Schell must be a liberal, as if no conservative or centrist could possibly have given the book a favorable review -- something that is demonstrably false since it received many such reviews. More than that, however, the fact that it was included despite its irrelevance demonstrates that Dedman intended this story to be a hit piece on the so-called liberal media (SCLM). Again, if it's a piece saying "these people gave this amount of money to these candidates," fine. I don't happen to agree with its significance, but there's plenty of room in the world for stories I don't think are important. But if it's Dedman and his editors saying, "Aha! Here's more evidence that the media are biased leftward," well, then, it's a feeble and failed attempt to do so. And seeing Dedman's inclusion of Schell's review of my book as somehow relevant to his case leads me to conclude, sadly, that it's the latter.
Altercation gets results: Man Bites Dog, Peretz Criticizes Israel. No one at The New Republic has (publicly) acknoweldged the existence of my TAP piece on Marty Peretz, but the same week it's published -- plus the addendum of more Marty insults on Altercation -- what do we get but Peretz actually taking issue with the Israeli government, here. (OK, it's only a sentence or two, but add this to his criticisms of their refugee policies and we're just about ready for a Matt Yglesias column called "Why Does Marty Peretz Hate the Jews?")
Did you know that, according to Arbitron, the national radio ratings company, more than 90 percent of Americans ages 12 or older listen to radio each week -- "a higher penetration than television, magazines, newspapers or the Internet"? Although listening hours have declined slightly in recent years, Americans listened on average to 19 hours of radio per week in 2006.
I didn't know that. And to tell you the truth, I tend to ignore talk radio. My impressions from the things I read and hear about it is that it is peopled by, well, people with whom I don't have much in common, given how racist, homophobic and just plain silly it is. But if it's most people, then what are we to make of the following:
Of the 257 news/talk stations owned by the top five commercial station owners, 91 percent of the total weekday talk radio programming is conservative, and only 9 percent is progressive.
Each weekday, 2,570 hours and 15 minutes of conservative talk is broadcast on these stations compared to 254 hours of progressive talk -- 10 times as much conservative talk as progressive talk.
A separate analysis of all of the news/talk stations in the top ten radio markets reveals that 76 percent of the programming in these markets is conservative, and 24 percent is progressive, although programming is more balanced in markets such as New York and Chicago.
Ownership diversity is perhaps the single most important variable contributing to the structural imbalance based on the data. Quantitative analysis conducted by Free Press of all 10,506 licensed commercial radio stations reveals that stations owned by women, minorities, or local owners are statistically less likely to air conservative hosts or shows. In contrast, stations controlled by group owners -- those with stations in multiple markets or more than 3 stations in a single market -- were statistically more likely to air conservative talk. Furthermore, markets that aired both conservative and progressive programming were statistically less concentrated than the markets that aired only one type of programming, and were more likely to be the markets that had female- and minority-owned stations.
The disparities between conservative and progressive programming reflect the absence of localism in American radio markets. This shortfall results from the consolidation of ownership in radio stations and the corresponding dominance of syndicated programming operating in economies of scale that do not match the local needs of all communities.
This analysis suggests that any effort to encourage more responsive and balanced radio programming will first require steps to increase localism and diversify radio station ownership to better meet local and community needs.
I learned all this reading "The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio," a joint report by The Center for American Progress and Free Press. Read all about it here.

Eric -- In the ongoing saga of Marty Peretz and the purchase of TNR, little has been mentioned about CanWest (other than the Asper family's stridently pro-Israel stance). I've lived within the CanWest media universe for 13 years now. The corporation has a decidedly conservative political tone and is not known for its support of editorial independence. I can't see CanWest's ownership of TNR being liberalism's gain.

You know I have written about this Dowd creature in the past, but she really makes me go crazy. She has such a valuable real estate spot with the NY Times to peddle her verbage and the rest of us must go to the Internet to stay sane. Between talking about earth tones and Al Gore and being so concerned about Clinton's apparatus, we got stuck with Bush and people like the loathsome Dowd played a big part in this whole disaster. She's a whiner who gets paid too much and people who think she's the bee's knees are delusional.

May 5, 2014 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterConcern has been raised about mule deer hunting in general license areas 92, 94, 96, 97 and 160.
Wyoming Game and Fish is forming a public input group to help guide management of mule deer in several local hunt areas.
Declining populations of the species spurred the initiative, which is the first like it in the state.
"Kind of sounds like we're in a corner -- what do we do?" Lander game warden Brad Hovinga said during a public forum April 23. "That's what we're doing here tonight."
The agency held the meeting in Lander to gather input and solicit volunteers for the working group. About 50 people attended, including hunters, livestock producers, other concerned residents and staff from Game and Fish and other government agencies.
"The bottom line is we're at a juncture in mule-deer management in the state, and certainly this part of Wyoming," Game and Fish wildlife management coordinator Daryl Lutz said. "We feel like we need to engage with you folks."
The working group will give recommendations regarding mule deer hunting in general license areas 92, 94, 96, 97 and 160, covering land southeast of Riverton and Lander to Bairoil and Muddy Gap.
The group will include landowners, hunters, outfitters, business-people, agency staff, non-governmental organization representatives and others from the public.
Members will meet once a month from June 2014 through December 2015 to provide recommendations to Game and Fish regarding mule deer hunting. Also during that timeframe, the agency will host forums to gather input from other members of the public. Game and Fish also will hold its regular post- and pre-season hunting meetings.
Population problems
For the past decade, the populations of mule deer in the hunt areas in question have been below the management objectives of the Game and Fish department. Members of the public also have expressed concern about the animals.
"From 2004 to 2009 or so we've had good population increase, but since 2009 or so we've had prolonged and dramatic decline," Rawlins game warden Brady Frude said, referring to mule deer in areas 92, 94 and 160.
A similar trend occurred in the other areas, he said. Even in years when the mule deer population seemed stronger, Frude said all of the herds were smaller than his agency would like.
Across the whole region, the numbers of fawns born often was high enough to allow the population to increase, but the young mule deer have been less likely to survive their first year recently.
"That shows us our winter mortality is an issue," Frude said.
Precipitation and other environmental factors caused the trend, he said, and Hovinga agreed.
"None of those things we do in hunting season and hunting season strategies can influence how many fawns hit the ground," he said."In the short term it's kind of out of our hands."
Frude pointed out that Game and Fish, working with landowners, has improved mule deer habitat on thousands of acres in Wyoming, but climate and habitat encroachment still have a major impact on the animal's population.
Hunting experience
Hovinga said his agency's influence on mule deer populations has more to do with the hunting experience than the hunt-season structure. He asked people at the April 23 meeting to offer input about their experience hunting mule deer; they split into eight groups to discuss what defines a good mule-deer hunt.
"There were four common themes," Lutz said. "Hunting with family, providing quality habitat for mule deer, the opportunity to see and-or harvest a quality buck, and ethical hunting behavior."
Attendees also were concerned that the growing use of ATVs to hunt mule deer may detract from the experience, he said.

Nitro subpop, rome 390s
1 Attachment(s)
just put a deposit on a nitro subpop with rome 390s,
anyone had the chance to ride one of these yet, if so what did ya think?
also how come i cant find pics of of it on the net?
heres a photo with the 390 i took off my phone at the local snowboard shop (ballistyx),
i think its the only one in aus atm?
I have ridden that exact setup. And I can almost guarantee that you won't like how it performs.
That the review you're looking for? I can't be bothered going into detail, but there is a myriad reasons as to why you won't.
i'm not sure why it wouldn't be a good combo, care to elaborate on why it is so bad?
Heard good things about both the board and bindings Good + Good = Good correct? lol at least thats my thought, but i haven't ridden either
im gonna say your wrong. Even BA thinks the sub pop was awesome.and the 390s are just a gicen for park.i do not see how he wont like it.unless he uses it for the wrong reasons.
yeah, possible the guy was trying keep up with his alpine friends or something, when the board isn't really meant for pure freeride.
^that's what I'm thinking as well.

Good choice, I'm riding one of the limited edition Sub Pops that came out in Januaryish. I love it, you'll love it. SO crazy easy to press and butter but rides surprisingly solid on the rest of the mountain. I have a pretty extensive review on it in the equipment review section.
I'm curious though since it seems you have the real next year version, have you noticed whether the inserts are centered on the the board. Mine are set FORWARD about 3/4 of an inch. So the nose on mine is actually smaller than the tail. If yours is not like this I'm going to warranty mine.

By Claudia Assis | Marketwatch.com
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Newly wealthy Chinese families and well-heeled U.S. fund managers conspired to push gold to records this year and their investment rationale - rooted in fears of currency debasement and higher inflation - is likely to keep the gold rush going in 2011. But some of the global buyers that lifted gold futures past $1,400 an ounce could head for the exits if rising rates make bond yields more attractive. That's one of the pitfalls facing gold next year. "All the factors that have driven gold higher - the uncertainties, commodities as an asset class, gold as the ultimate currency - I don't see that changing significantly" said Bill O'Neill, a principal at Logic Advisors in New Jersey.
The second half of the year is harder to predict, with one potential setback coming in the form of surging interest rates in Europe and the U.S., he said. Much higher interest rates would push investors away from gold, which bears no interest, pays no dividends and thus carries an opportunity cost.
The market could absorb higher interest rates over time, "but no surging interest rates," he added. O'Neill sees gold hovering around $1,500 an ounce next year.
Gold has gained 25% this year, putting it on track for its third double-digit gain of the last four years. To chart gold's price movements since 2000 is to draw an imaginary mountain slope offering few toeholds in its steep ascent.
Global appetite
This year, fears of a sovereign credit crunch in Europe; lack of confidence in the dollar, the euro and other major currencies; and low real interest rates pushed Western investors towards gold in droves.
The case for and against gold
Is gold headed for another streak of records? Gold bears and bulls square off at San Francisco's Hard Assets Conference.
In Asia, there was fear of runaway inflation, particularly in China; more money around as emerging Asian economies grew and more joined the ranks of the middle class; and the presence of investors traditionally more predisposed to own gold - Indians and the Chinese are among the top consumers of gold in the world.
Western investors in 2010 bid more than ever for gold coins, bought futures contracts, and also poured record amounts of money into exchange-traded funds backed by gold. Gold futures soared to a settlement record of $1,416.10 an ounce on Dec. 6.
Indians, Chinese, and others in Asia kept buying physical gold, in addition to investing in it, despite the ever-increasing prices.
Jewelry demand in the four corners of the globe held despite the higher prices. In addition, the influx of scrap gold, normally a cooling factor whenever gold prices spike higher, was largely absent this year, analysts said.
Fund flurry
The demand from some of these buyers also makes gold vulnerable to a swift correction. Large hedge funds, which helped push gold to the forefront of investing this year, could sell their gold positions as easily as they bought them, swiftly taking the floor from under prices.
"It would be a big impact for sure, but for the time being, I don't think they will," said Dan Smith, an analyst with Standard Chartered in London. "It's still a very bullish story." ....

Patients are being offered "tailor-made" knee implants for crippling joint conditions affecting tens of thousands a year.
The replacement knees — being pioneered by the private London Sports Orthopaedics partnership of specialist surgeons and doctors — are an exact replica of the patient's joint. Available privately for £14,000, surgery is now also being offered to NHS patients.
Previously, surgeons have used "one-size-fits-all" replacement joints which come in different sizes but are all the same shape, meaning the patient's bone has to be cut to fit. The new bespoke ConforMIS implant is designed to mirror the exact contours of an individual knee and can mimic the mechanics of the joint, allowing the patient to walk and move normally again.
Custom-making the joint means far less bone has to be taken away, so surgery is less invasive. More than 70,000 knee replacements are carried out in England and Wales each year. The knee joint is the largest and most complex in the body, making surgery a challenge.
One of the most painful and debilitating problems affecting it is osteoarthritis, triggered by wear and tear on tissue or cartilage covering the joint. Cartilage is essential for the joint to move smoothly but it can get damaged or wear away. When this happens, the knee becomes inflamed and painful.
With the new treatment, a 3D scan is taken of the existing joint and used to create a customised implant, which is then fixed to the bone in an operation lasting just one hour.
Father-of-two Richard Armfield, 51, from Croydon, was one of the first in the UK to have the new operation. He had surgery just over a month ago and is looking forward to playing hockey and skiing again.
The civil engineer said: "My knees were worn out from too much rough sport. I had a cartilage injury which started to deteriorate. It was arthritic — the knee was worn through and would get puffed up after a day on the slopes. Even walking was becoming difficult.
"The operation has made a dramatic improvement. My condition had been restricting my life but now it's like I've got my freedom back."Reuse content

Adding more letters?
So, I currently work as an occ. health nurse for a large manufacturing facility. Been in the position just over 2 months. My previous nursing background was in Progressive Care for 2 years, and an OR circulator for just under a year. Prior to that I worked in physical therapy and rehab for close to 5 years. I was hoping to get an opinion on possibly sitting for the Emergency Nurse certification (CEN). I do see my share of lacerations, burns and other assorted first aid type injuries. Having come into the OHN role without previous ER experience, do you think this would benefit me? It will be some time until I am able to sit for my COHN, so I was looking to add some additional education to my role. Plus, would this be a desirable certification to have for future OHN roles? Thanks in advance.Mar 18, '12I don't think the CEN would help you for future OHN roles but would be beneficial if you plan on being an ER nurse later in life. While several Occ Health job ads have said that they want a nurse with ER experience, I've never seen an ad that asked for CEN certification. The ads usually ask that the nurse have COHN or COHN-S certification along with Audiometry and Spirometry certifications and sometimes Case Management certifiation (CCM or COHN-S/CM). If I were you, I'd spend my money on getting those certifications instead of the CEN if you want to stay in Occ Health.Mar 21, '12I agree with prior post, that COHN is a must-have and in many positions, the spiro/fit-test/audio training and certificates are a must-have/must-get-upon-hiring.
Coming from the ER, I looked at CEN before going into occ health. Iin an occ health job, the vast majority of CEN will useless. It is mostly about handling emergencies in an ER, using ER equipment and ER meds.Mar 23, '12Thank you for the valuable feedback. I will be obtaining my hearing conservation certification in May. The spirometry cert will follow soon after. The COHN is definitely on my list, but I am still atleast a year out from being able to apply for that.May 3, '12Congratulations on joining the OHN ranks! In addition to the great advise already given, you may also consider taking some occupational certificate program courses. For example, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has one that you can do online and is most helpful. These courses also help you prepare for the COHN exam. Good Luck!May 8, '12I will look in to UNC Chapel Hill. I believe Bonnie Rogers may have some affiliation? I have a couple of books Occupational Health Nursing Guidelines that she authored. Always looking for ways to expand my OHN knowledge base.May 31, '12I looked at the UNC Chapel Hill site and didn't see an 'online' option.

It's not over yet but we figured that we should reflect a little on the trip before we all evaporate into our own lives again.

I bought one of these from Home Woot back in October. It was $125 back then.
It's a nice lightweight bedspread good for spring and summer use. It's perhaps a bit too thin by itself for cold weather use. I've got a microfiber fleece blanket underneath the coverlet and that seems to do me very nicely in the colder weather.
Also, it's very easy to machine wash. Sadly, I've had multiple instances of coming home to find that one of the cats barfed on the bed. Pop the bedspread in the wash, dry it on low (or maybe medium-low), and it's good as new.
What is a coverlet? A small cover?

Its long enough for the bedspread to come right up to the headboard with a normal length drape on the other three sides. You could TRY tucking the pillows underneath it, but that would use up some of the drape at the foot of the bed.
I'm pretty sure it's intended for the pillows to be placed on top of the smoothed out bedspread when the bed is made.
Oh, and these things are almost sinfully soft and silky to the touch! I love mine!
A coverlet (earlier coverlid) is a fabric covering, usually for a bed.

How Samuel L Jackson Keeps Boys Away From His Daughter
Actor SAMUEL L. JACKSON was a guest on the Graham Norton show on the BBC recently. During his time on the show he shared how he keeps boys from dating his daughter. But honestly, would you feel comfortable dating Samuel's daughter? I think I would keep that relationship in the "Just Friends" zone FOREVER. Even when Jackson dies I wouldn't date her...his ghost would come back to kick your tail.

Hoping 2012 is my year to get it together!
I really need to get my life organized.

I want to use cash only, no debit cards, since DH debits everything and it drives me nuts! Just some thoughts, is anyone else planning on 2012 being their year to refocus?

this is totally my year! I worked hard on a budget and got Dh on board as well. We had a minor set back with the first pay day of the year but we had a plan so we were able to work it out and we are still on track!

Count me in on the retired list. I retired in 2007, but kept working part time until May 2011. My part time work was teaching a few classes at the local college, and that meant that I also had homework to do when I arrived home. But that had always been my schedule: go to school, come home and do homework. It's just that there was less of it in retirement.
But now that I am fully retired, my schedule got all screwy. I guess I thought that I had all the time in the world, and just let she things slide. I had always been a very organized person (out of necessity to just keep my head above water), and now things were slipping. I found myself not going to bed or getting up at regular hours, not eating right, etc.
So I'm with you on this. I need to find a new rhythm for this phase of life. Share with me how you found the right rhythm for retirement.01-07-2012, 06:08 PM #9

I just want to cut my food budget. I been spinning around for the past month looking at one thing and then another and never actually making any progress. Today I decided the first step toward cutting my food budget is figuring out what my food budget is. So I got a box to put in my junk drawer in the kitchen that I've started dropping all my receipts in. All I'm going to do for the remainder of January is put all my receipts in that box and start finding, clipping and using coupons for the few processed foods I buy. Then I'm going to do a big analysis @ the end of the month to see how I can change.
I'm thinking I spend like $350. per month on food for ONE PERSON! I don't know how I can possibly do that as (being vegan) I make almost all my food and rarely throw any food away and virtually never eat out. I also don't drink or smoke (two other very expensive endeavors.) But I may be wrong. I'm not really sure how much I spend on food so I think a big-time analysis is in order.01-07-2012, 08:31 PM #11
it's easy to blow the grocey budget, it seems like everytime I do the shopping the prices have increased or the size of the item has decreased. It makesme nuts! hahha

Smart for Life
A low calorie cookie diet supervised by a medical doctor.Top Rated Diet Shakes of 2017
- Established: 2004
- Founder: Dr. Sasson Moulavi
- Headquarters: Boca Raton, Florida
- Accessibility: Centers and online
- Diet Type: Cookie diet, low-calorie
- Gender: Male and female
- Coupons: Get started by saving with these Smart for Life Coupons
Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2017?
Eat decadent carbs like cookies and muffins and lose weight? Sounds great, doesn't it? That is the premise behind the Smart for Life diet. The program uses its own line of "no hunger" foods and its own interventions like vitamin injections that are used to correct any metabolic conditions. All of this is accomplished under the supervision of a medical doctor. Smart for Life promises to help you lose 12-15 pounds in one month as long as you adhere to their program.
The Smart for Life program is built on the premise that 25% of overweight or obese people have metabolic or hormonal conditions that prevent them from losing weight.
With a line of "no hunger" foods like muffins, cookies, soups, shakes and desserts, all of the foods are made with organic and natural ingredients and contain protein, fiber and amino acids. Most famous for the Smart cookie, the product line has expanded to include different flavors and products of their trademark line.
In the fall of 2010, Smart for Life introduced its first ever gluten-free product, a gluten-free Banana Chocolate Chip square. The square is low in calories and includes HeroFiber(TM), a super fiber, which includes ForteFiber(TM) Soluble Dietary Fiber, which helps to maintain cholesterol, glucose and insulin levels that are already within the normal range. By adding this new gluten-free product, the weight loss plan can now be followed by anyone who follows a gluten-free diet.
The program also includes education and motivation instruction to help you target the emotional and mental issues behind your cravings, binges and weight issues. As part of the program, you are teamed up with a physician who works one-on-one with you to customize a program and treat any underlying metabolic dysfunction that you may have.
Once you sign up, you undergo a comprehensive physical examination that includes blood work, an EKG, a Body Mass Index analysis and a discussion of the program vitamin and supplement component. In some cases, injections of Smart injections at done at specified Smart for Life Centers.
You work with the Smart for Life staff at the designated Smart for Life Centers each week to monitor your weight loss. Once you've reached your weight goal, you enter into Phase 2 of the program which is the maintenance stage. Constant contact with the trained health professionals is required until you feel confident enough to keep your weight under control on your own.
But the Smart for Life Medical program also requires that you receive an injection of hCG, a growth hormone that increases during pregnancy. hCG is a very controversial diet practice because its long-term health effects are not known and it is not accepted or approved of by the medical community. The Smart for Life Medical Weight Loss program recommends the dieter receive this Smart Injection, which is intended to kick-start your weight loss and gives you a serious boost in energy. Just how long you must receive the injections is not known.

- There is medical supervision for the Smart for Life program
- Addresses underlying emotional issues of eating
- Teaches healthy eating habits that will allow you to maintain weight loss
- Food products are organic and all-natural
- Maintain healthy blood sugar levels and metabolism
- No scientific proof that the metabolic and hormonal conditions cited as being dysfunctional in overweight people are in fact dysfunctional
- Eating the trademarked Smart for Life line of food is no magic bullet for losing weight
- Smart for Life food line may be more of a marketing hype than the real deal
- Extremely low calorie diet
- Uses hCG injections as a way to stimulate weight loss, a very controversial and potentially dangerous practice
On the Smart for Life eating program (the program doesn't like using the word "diet") you consume seven balanced meals throughout the day, which are intended to keep you in the fat burning zone continuously.
Six of those meals are Smart for Life cookies and one healthy, low fat dinner of chicken or fish with five cups of vegetables as outlined in your Program Guide included in your order.
The Smart for Life eating routine is built along the concept of mini-meals and retraining your body and mind to eat small and portion-controlled meals regularly throughout the day.
Daily caloric intake for Smart for Life is about 800 calories per day, eating seven meals and their food products, namely the Smart for Life cookies, and a healthy, low fat, high protein dinner.
Smart for Life cookies contain a proprietary blend of amino acids, fiber, and vitamins that are designed to quell cravings and give you the nutrition your body needs.
In addition, you can also use the cookies as a basis for certain Smart for Life recipes, like a Summer Parfait, which adds sugar-free preserves and chocolate dips to crumbled cookies.
There are also Smart Shakes, Smart Muffins and Smart Soups which can also be eaten as part of the Smart for Life program. One shake is the equivalent of two cookies and one soup or one muffin is the equivalent of one cookie.
The Smart for Life products contain HeroFiberTM, a super fiber blend, fish oil, plant sterols, inulin, flax seed, whole oats, and canola oil. There is also a gluten-free Smart for Life Banana Chocolate Chip Granola Square for those who cannot tolerate the protein gluten.EXERCISE
On the Smart for Life diet, exercise is only a part of the maintenance of your weight loss. You will work with a Smart for Life health representative to work out an exercise plan that allows you to maintain your goal weight.
When you do start an exercise program on the Smart for Life program, you are encouraged to increase your intake of water and other clear and calorie-free liquids.
Once you have reached your goal weight, it is recommended that you exercise moderately for at least 3 hours per week.CONCLUSION
The Smart for Life program is not that much different from other similar diet programs that have you consuming specific trademarked food in order to achieve weight loss. But a very stark red flag with the Smart for Life program is its requirement of hCG injections to jumpstart weight loss. This potentially dangerous and controversial weight loss practice has unknown health effects and is not accepted by the medical community.
The good news is that the Smart for Life program does incorporate such an eating plan with the addition of using their specific foods as well as an exercise plan once you reach your maintenance phase.Moreover, this program does instill in the dieter tools and knowledge for keeping weight off for good.
Even though the Smart for Life is under the supervision of medical doctors who can monitor your progress safely, you are strongly encouraged to exercise caution before spending any money on this weight loss program.
Rather, research on successful weight loss programs has shown us that long-term and immediate weight loss comes from a smart exercise program and an eating plan that includes a low calorie, low saturated fat diet.Common Misspellings

I started the Smart for Life program and lost 25 pounds within two months. The key for me was exercise and I only ate a cookie when I was hungry. I have a glass of water before and after the cookie so I was not alway hungry. I also made sure I exercise regularly. I still use the cookies but not so much during the day. Right now I am just trying to maintain and eat healthier. I rarely have red meat and pork. I can't say I'll give them up, but at least I don't have it every week, maybe once a month. The cookes worked for me and I have introduced the cookes to about three people in my office. I keep getting compliments on how much better I look since I have lost the weight.
I've tried a couple different cookie diets and settled on Capitol Hill Cookie diet because they tasted the best of all the brands by far. Just starting out and already lost 8 pounds. I'm not having any hunger issues and best of all, I feel like I'm getting rid of some of my poor eating habits that led to my weight gain in the first place. I would recommend Capitol Hill for anyone looking to try a cookie diet.
I also lost wweight on the R&D Diet Cookie. I chose them because they are a smaller company without all the frills that cost a lot. I like the taste of the cookeis and they cost a lot less. I think they are the best kept secret when it comes to cookie diets. I've kept the weight off. I use the R&D cookies as a snack now and then so I don't let my eating go out of control. I still eat the foods I like (just because I lsot weight doesn't mean I no longer like big mac's!) but the cookies teach me control. I recommend them. Oh, and it didn't hurt that the weight loss was pretty quick. You just set up a system that you can live with and keep doing it. Before you know it, the weight is gone!
Of all the diets I have done the Smart for Life aka Cookie Diet is the best one out there if losing weight fast is important to you. The cookies are good and you learn a lot about nutrition and weight loss. It is also very easy and convienient to do.
I've lost 25 pounds (my goal) on these cookies, and it came off fast, about 3 weeks, and has stayed off for one year now. Don't love the taste (oatmeal raisin is OK, carrot cupcakes are good), but if you take a tiny nibble with a big drink of water, it is ok and keeps hunger away. I take vitamins and flaxseed oil daily also, and instead of exercising I just try to park farther away, take the stairs, that sort of thing.
Things I like best are it refocuses your attention away from food--no decisions to make, you just eat the cookie or the cupcake or the shake or the soup, those are your only decisions. Also I like how easy it is to travel with them; no more cruising airports with cravings. Great at work---can have it right at your desk, unobtrusively, no trekking to the communal fridge and microw. I feel secure I will not be hungry and yet I don't have to waste a lot of time hunting for food and making (bad) decisions about food all the livelong day.
It also shrinks your stomach, which is great, because now I think I am a lot less likely to overeat.
Have I cheated? OK, yes, I have. But it is easy to get right back on the next day. Was a size 10, now a 6, back in my old jeans, looking forward to the college reunion. Might decide to lose more next year, but overall I just feel more relaxed about the whole food issue now, more confident I am not at the mercy of my cravings/PMS/bad food choices.
I actually saved money on this diet. (Bought from costco when they still carried it.) The one downside is I prefer to eat my big meal at breakfast and this plan forces you to eat it at night. Boo.
But overall a huge YES.
I have been using the cookies as snacks for mid-morning and mid-afternoon. I would just like to say that I'm female and PMSing and I just had a huge craving for cake. I had a cookie instead and now I'm full and satisfied. To me it doesn't matter how fast or how much I loose, it is that it will calm a PMS craving (or any others I have). Fantastic!!!
I am obese and have Type II diabetes. I started this program in mid-June 2010 and immediately lost 6 pounds the first week. By week 3, I had lost a total of 11!
I found better success with having a salad for lunch AND dinner, and splitting the amount of protein between the two meals. I felt too full before bed with all my protein taken in the evening meal.
Was amazed to feel really good and energetic so early after starting. I've already been able to get rid of one of my medication (3-4 more to go), which was actually making me overly hungry in the a.m.
Love the medical supervision, and that they work closely with my doctor (a great cheerleader) so she is not left out.
Reading "Good Calories, Bad Calories" (in the self-help section) really helped me understand too how diabetes affects my body and its relationship with food. It is sooo worth it to give up the carbs for a healthier and longer life.
Best wishes.
"...this diet has failed me. I have lost 18 pounds."
Losing almost 20 lbs is failing? Wow, you're a hard one to please!
I don't understand why people who haven't tried it puts it down! I lost 50 lbs on a cookie diet (I recommend the R&D Diet Cookie). It was simple and consistant. The cookies taste good and they are easy to carry around. Bottom line... if you want to make dieting difficult, exhausting, and punishing because you think you deserve it then... DON'T go on a cookie diet! BUT, don't dis' it because it has worked really well for some of us. BTW... you don't think 800 calories is healthy? Is being fat healthy? Is eating a quart of icecream in one setting healthy? I used to do that. I've kept the weight off for a year and a half now. Losing it fast was the biggest motivator for me! YaY!
If diets were easy no would would be fat. Having over sugared, starchy & fatty foods too readily available has put all of us in this situation. Now it comes to choices-change what you eat or stay fat. Inevitably it comes done to the nutritional value of what you put in your mouth. Maybe if we didn't "love" our food so much it wouldn't be so hard to give it up.
I love the chocolate chip cookies the best. I actually do feel full all day long eating the cookies and drinking water. I make sure I eat plenty of veggies and chicken for dinner. I've lost 15 pounds in 25 days; not bad start.
Made me gassy.
I like this diet so much. Easy way to loose weight. I've lost 17 pounds in 5 weeks and always feel a high energy. I only have 12 more pounds to loose!
Hello, I already posted below to say I like this cookie diet.
It is only to add that after 7 weeks, I now lost 36 pounds.
No hunger so far.
To be truthful, this diet has failed me. I have lost 18 pounds, but I did not follow the cookie diet to the letter. I couldn't. No matter how many cookies I ate and how much water I drank I could not end the feeling of hunger. Being a professional I have to attend many meetings. My stomach growling has been a source of embarrisment. I do not believe all of you who say you never are hungry. If you are saying it you probably did not stick strictly with this cookie diet either.
I lost 27 pounds in 5 weeks. Easy diet, cookies taste good enough, and always feel full.
I've been on this 3 days and so far, I really like it. The cookies aren't too bad, especially if you warm them up for about 10 second in the microwave. I am drinking 2-3 liters of water a day with it and chewing gum...works! The cookies actually fill me up! Eating them during the day and then having a sensible, low carb dinner. No bathroom problems or tiredness. I actually am feeling BETTER already.
i bought 5 weeks of the cookie diet and they will seriously last me like 5 years.
i MUST admit- the cookies work. one 100 calorie cookie eaten at 9 am kept me full until 2 pm! i would eat one for breakfast and then have a low fat subway sandwich meal (turkey) for lunch and i didn't even want dinner.
but the cookies were so nasty that i eventually just skipped breakfast and just ate lunch. so maybe i lost weight because i didn't even eat the cookies at all!
they feel like gravel in your mouth and have an aftertaste like melted plastic...
but, if you are really serious about losing weight fast they DO work... *gag*
Okay, so I have to let the readers on this blog know this. I was on this diet for 7 weeks and lost a total of 18 lbs. When I started the diet I noticed a change in my eyes. Blurry, couldn't focus on the words had to refocus my eyes on any words or computer. would get a double vision type thing going on even went to the pharmacy to try the lowest on the readers as I have perfect vision normally. Well, I didn't connect the dots till today. I stopped eating the cookies 2 weeks ago and the symptoms went away, not thinking that it could be the cookies doing this eye thing, I thought well, I will have a day or two and eat cookies and then maintain and eat healthy other days. Then Bam again today I had 5 cookies and my eyes started getting all blurry and double vision.. so anywho I won't be eating these again, doesn't happen in everyone I know but everyone is different so I figured I would post it just in case others have had this happen and didn't connect the two together. My body must not like something or I may be allergic to something in the ingredients either way, just wanted to get the word out. Hope this helps anyone. Too bad to because I liked the ease of just grabbing a cookie. Please feel free to comment on this if anyone has had any symptoms like this or any for that matter.
Josh, you sound very bitter. Hope YOUR weight loss program is working for you. It's all about will power and changing your way of living and how you view food. Happy eating.

Syed Rasel to Gibbs, OUT, Gone! Gibbs swings at a widish one, gets an inside edge and the ball crashes into his stumps. Gibbs, the dangerman, gone scoring a quickfire 18. Dropped early in his innings but luckily for Bangladesh not too costly.
HH Gibbs b Syed Rasel 18 (20m 10b 4x4 0x6) SR: 180.00
Abdur Razzak to Bosman, OUT, Bosman tries to take on the spinner first ball he faces, looking to go over the top, gets a thickish top edge and skies it straight up to mid off.
LE Bosman c Mohammad Ashraful b Abdur Razzak 28 (26m 18b 4x4 1x6) SR: 155.55
Abdur Razzak to Ontong, OUT, Gone! First ball after the weather delay. Ontong goes for the big heave over deep midwicket. Gives it a bit too much air and hits it down the fielder's throaght.
JL Ontong c Shakib Al Hasan b Abdur Razzak 6 (18m 12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
Shakib Al Hasan to Duminy, OUT, Fine little snick through to to the keeper. Duminy tries to late cut the ball down to third man. Gets the fine edge and the keeper takes it second time around.
JP Duminy c †Mushfiqur Rahim b Shakib Al Hasan 6 (10m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
Shakib Al Hasan to JA Morkel, OUT, Morkel goes for the big heave over midwicket. Nowhere near the ball tough and all he hears is the clash off the ball and his stumps. Well bowled.
JA Morkel b Shakib Al Hasan 6 (9m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
Abdur Razzak to de Villiers, OUT, Gone! De Villiers looking for the big slog-sweep this time. Just too full I would say and the ball crashes into his stumps.
AB de Villiers b Abdur Razzak 36 (32m 26b 2x4 1x6) SR: 138.46
Abdur Razzak to Botha, OUT, Another wicket for Razzak. otha attempts a reverse sweepshot. Bowled around his legs though. Leg stump hit hard this time.
J Botha b Abdur Razzak 1 (2m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Optimal Fiscal Feedback on Debt in an Economy with Nominal Rigidities
Tatiana Kirsanova and Simon Wren-Lewis
Working Paper 2007-26
December 2007
Download the full text of this paper (481 KB)
We examine the impact of different degrees of fiscal feedback on debt in an economy with nominal rigidities where monetary policy is optimal. We look at the extent to which different degrees of fiscal feedback enhance or detract from the ability of the monetary authorities to stabilize output and inflation. Using an objective function derived from utility, we find the optimal level of fiscal feedback to be small. A clear discontinuity exists in the behavior of monetary policy and welfare on either side of this optimal level. As the extent of fiscal feedback increases, optimal monetary policy becomes less active because fiscal feedback tends to deflate inflationary shocks. However, this fiscal stabilization is less efficient than monetary policy, so welfare declines. In contrast, if fiscal feedback falls below some critical value, optimal monetary policy becomes strongly passive, and this passive monetary policy leads to a sharp deterioration in welfare.
JEL classification: E52, E61, E63, F41
Key words: fiscal policy, feedback rules, debt, macroeconomic stabilization

Welcome to Guru Answers!!
Welcome to our new and improved Guru Answers. Or, for those of you that are new to Guru Answers…Welcome to Guru Answers.
We really like the new format and functionality and are sure you will too! You can now vote on questions and answers and earn karma as you go. The more karma you have, the more you can do within the Answers community.
Let us know what you think of the new format and functionality. You can post suggestions using the Ask a Question functionality and assigning it to the Guru Help category. Also, please rest assured that none of your previous comments, questions and suggestions have been lost. We will be moving some of the more popular posts from the old format to the new over the next week.

I just encountered a little something that highlights perfectly why having votes, karma, etc isn't a great idea. I posted a reply to someone asking about how to deal with a freelancer who wasn't producing. There were finances involved and it was a little complicated as there could be refunds involved. My recommendation, I believe, was the correct one. They need to contact help desk to seek some advice (after all, they will have record of the timeline of the project, the messages back and forth, the payments, etc. It seemed logical to me that you seek out those who can actually provide you with correct actions to take for your circumstances, whether that involves an immediate dispute on file or not.) Yet, I was given a down vote for that? Doesn't it see childish to anyone else that there are even down votes in the first place?
Does it not make more sense to not allow voting on questions and answers or to only allow votes in the form of an icon that indicates that it's an interesting question, or a suitable answer. In other words, if you have nothing good to say, then say nothing. If others don't find the question interesting they can kindly avoid comment, and if they feel an answer is lacking, they could do the decent thing and offer their knowledge on the subject. Isn't the Answers section supposed to be about helping each other out? If so, then what purpose do the votes, karma, and badges serve? None, as far as I can see.
There is another freelancer site, that had a thumbs up/down feature on their message forums. It got totally out of hand, with things like 15 thumbs down for a logical question. Finally it was done away with and everyone couldn't be happier. the person you responded to should NOT have posted their question/problem in the "questions" category. It dealt with specific freelancers, finances etc. and should have been directed specifically to Guru's customer service. Entire questions are now contained in the subject line instead of in the body of the message

Great ideas, Kathleen. I might add a Suggestions tab as well. In its current state, there is not a simple way to readily identify suggestions. There should be. I find it frustrating to read responses that state that this or that "just doesn't work that way in Guru". If it seems like an appropriate change, suggest it! And please get rid of "karma". I think it's great to have a single location to communicate, but it needs to be more business/professional in nature.
Kathleen Termyn

Do away with the Tags, Badges and Unanswered tabs above. No one uses them, very few know what to do with them, and probably the rest of us don't understand them. In their place, add a tab for Customer Service, or Help Desk requests.
A lot of questions presented here on the Questions tab are of a private nature, citing problems concerning specific employers, jobs or freelancers. That doesn't belong here. That should be handled by Guru's customer service.
Other questions concern "how to's" of a technical nature to perform certain tasks or problems concerning uploading files etc. That should be handled by the help desk.
Although links to customer service, and help desk are listed somewhere here (in tiny small letters, somewhere) big bold tabs added above should be added for better visability and convience. Also, any messages posted to that should only be available to view by either customer service or the help desk for technical problems.

I have to agree with Christine. I'm baffled as to why such a site would encourage people to compete for "karma" points.
Many people posting have serious issues that need answers. When the person we're complaining about can come in a give negative karma points, it starts to turn into a silly game.
I received negative points for each of my 5 comments/questions within a half an hour of firing my "employee." It makes it pretty obvious doesn't it? Can we please up the professional standards here? Dealing with immature unprofessional freelancers is painful enough. Why must we have one of the top freelancer sites encouraging it?
Christine R.

Hi Stacy,
I hope this comes out right. Please forgive me if it doesn't.
The new design, isn't so great.
It's not a good fit visually with the rest of the site, and the larger arty banners with the green, blue, and black are just too much. There's almost a cartoonish feel to it now, and I'm not sure how that works with the image of Guru as a business site and a freelance site. Fun is fun, and maybe there should be a Guru games page for those that want, but the answer section should be a clean-cut place of helpful information, not karma ratings and badges. That's more for a games page or celebrity gossip forum. Most of the people here are working professionals, so does it really fit the audience?
Sorry. Sometimes opinions just have to be shared.
I agree with Christine R. This is a tool that I use to quickly access information that is logically sorted and pertinent. I DO like the idea that there is a single forum for communication. I DON'T like spending time wading through posts that I must open and read to understand their contents because the subject lines are nebulous at best. The color scheme and oversized headings aren't my cup of tea, but neither are the badges/karma features. Thanks for providing a forum to communicate feedback.

I was removing the oxidation buildup from a motor home using a Makita Rotary polisher and Meguires oxidation remover. The combination of this pad and the polisher did a terrific job removing all the oxidation...almost like new.
Firm enough to do the job well

Great Product, Super Performance, Easy Use

Use these in very demanding conditions ( Red Paint with no clear coat ) every Day in detail area and they have been easier to use and work with than wool and all most as good.

Good Junk
October 3, 2011
Worked Great for about 10 minutes on a DA buffer....Then BOOM it blew a chunk out of the side. I could understand if i was doing around a corner or something that it might have been my fault, but i was still in the center of the Hood. By a wool bad instead!

falling apart
April 6, 2011
Bought few pads and all of them fell apart after just about an hour of compounding...Well ,we used three da buffers and in all cases the result was pretty much the same(((( Not for HARD work.Save ur money - my advise.
2 Stars
Quite pricey
October 30, 2009
This pad has similar cut as the LC orange pad on softer paint, but loses its edge on harder paints. Despite having less cut than the orange pad, it doesn't finish as smoothly as the LC yellow pad! If you need a cutting pad, both the LC yellow and orange fnish nicer and cut faster than this pad. When this pad eventually goes on sale at price similar to the LC pads, it MAY be a good deal.

I know that the theme dafang looked similar to another theme but it was only similar not exactly the same.
Does anyone know what happened? The authors account is also disabled?
Curious really.
I havent mentioned the other theme as I thinks it violates the forum rules, but hopefully the use of the Dafang name is ok (since it no longer exists!)

Department store Nordstrom is reportedly in talks to be one of Apple's early merchant partners when the company unveils its new payments platform soon, according to sources with knowledge of the discussions.
Nordstrom employees have also given Bank Innovation new details on the company's recent upgrades to its mobile point-of-sale terminals, which hearken to a deal with Apple.
Last quarter, Nordstrom generated about $3.4 billion of revenue. The company employs around 62,500 and has a market capitalization of slightly more than $13 billion.
The talks Nordstrom and Apple have been engaged are said to be related to payments — but the extent of those talks is unclear. Apple was looking for a clothing brand with a large physical reach to join its to-be-launched payments platform, our source said, but also with an established, high-end brand. With a strong brick-and-mortar presence and a focus on digital innovation, our source said Nordstrom was a "great" pick for Apple.
Nordstrom's POS upgrade within the last couple of weeks offers another hint that it will be partnering with Apple.
Nordstrom employees, who requested anonymity, said that the department store chain upgraded its mobile POS terminals "a few weeks ago" with hardware that allow it to work with the "most recent iPhones." Our source said that the two companies had a "contract" and that the specifics of these contracts weren't available to the public yet. We verified that these terminals are the same ones that the Apple Store is currently utilizing.
Nordstom declined to comment for this article.
Nordstrom has a history of focusing on technological innovation, starting with the company's widespread adoption of mobile point-of-sale terminals in 2012. The mobile POS worked with an iPod Touch at the time and helped Nordstrom increase its revenue by 12% year over year in the first quarter of 2012. Similarly, analysts, including Experian analyst Cherian Abraham, have been discussing Nordstrom and Apple on Twitter.
If Apple and Amex makes sense, guess what makes sense next: Apple, Amex and Nordstrom. Lot of synergies there in that partnership.

Another distinct reason for Nordstrom and Apple. Almost entirely iOS devices for checkout. And a consumer base uncharacteristically – Apple.

In May, Bank Innovation reported that Apple Stores throughout the country were receiving new mobile POS terminals to help Apple Store employees work with iPhone 5S, equipped with the Lightning pin, instead of the iPod Touch, which came with the outdated 30-pin adapter. This is the mobile POS now being used in Nordstrom stores.
At the time of the update, we wrote, "There does not appear to be a concrete reason why Apple is switching to the iPhone 5S, but it is not surprising." We assumed that the upgrade was due to the iPhone 5S's increased computing power and better overall performance. But, based on our conversations with Nordstrom employees and sources with knowledge of the talks, it looks like the purpose of the update was so that Apple's existing merchant partners would be using mobile POS accessories with a Lightning port. Apple is expected to use the Lightning port in the iPhone 6.
Industry sources say that other merchants — like Ralph Lauren — have made similar upgrades to their mobile POS systems to work with the iPhone 5S.
Apple has partnered with other fashion brands in the past to unveil new products and features. Burberry premiered the new camera features in the iPhone 5S last September during the 2013 New York Fashion Week. At the time, the phone was announced, but hadn't hit the shelves yet. Burberry used its Instagram account to show off the slow motion video feature in the 5S.
Retail industry insiders have indicated to Bank Innovation that there were other companies in the running to join Apple's payments initiative. We were told that these merchants lost out to Nordstrom because they did not have many physical stores.
It is expected that Apple will introduce its new payments platform on Sept. 9.Like This Post
