1972 Chevy K5 Blazer - Blazing OrangePosted in Project Vehicles on October 1, 2007
Some People Just Have To Do Things Right the first time, and we wholeheartedly agree with such an approach. When Ron Perry and his family were looking for a functional off-road toy for weekend adventures, they found their perfect machine, a cool '72 K5 Blazer. They weren't looking for extreme, just a rig that could safely and reliably take them anywhere they chose to go across Southern California's mountains and deserts. What they got was a little of both.
If you aren't familiar with this classic old steel, the first-generation Blazers were only manufactured from 1969 to 1972, and the first year the truck was offered in four-wheel-drive only. The Blazer is a short-wheelbase truck, and GM designed it to compete with its rivals Ford, Dodge, International Harvester, and Jeep. When Ron got a hold of the Blazer, the first thing he did was drop it off at T&J Performance Center in Orange, California, for a few custom modifications. T&J fabricated a full rollcage for safety, rock sliders, and a classic pushbar for the winch. The Perry family now has a go-anywhere, do-anything trail rig that they are extremely happy with and won't have to rebuild a second time. They haven't had many opportunities to wheel the Blazer since it's been out of the shop, but after a day in the desert, we think they'll have the itch for some serious adventure.

I got two of these baskets for $3 each. I thought that was a pretty sweet deal.
This one is holding a few items right now and the one above is probably going to end up holding lunchboxes.
This area is the paper arena. The brown basket holds papers that need to be taken care of within the week. I go through this at least once a week and take care of everything. The manila folder to the left is really ugly, but it holds the items that I need to shred. The metal tin at the back is for coupons. I organize these in order of when they expire. The two boxes in front of the tin are the cardboard boxes my checks came in. One holds recent receipts and the other is for stamps and other mail-type things. I get the mail first thing when I get home everyday and recycle the envelopes and get rid of anything we don't need. If it's important and needs to get taken care of soon, I put it in the basket.
There's probably a better system, but this works pretty well for now. =]
Below the "paper arena" I have about a billion paper towels. No, I'm not expecting a paper towel shortage. I had a coupon and stocked up. The bucket on the floor is holding my skateboarding gear -- my helmet and pads. Yes, I skateboard. No, I'm not a 12-year-old boy.
The green bags are our reusable grocery bags and the basket to the right is for holding supplies for in-progress household projects. It's been nice having everything on hand instead of having to dig it out every time.
There's an "overall" picture.
And now for the rest of my Marshall's/Ross goodies.
This rug looks AWESOME in the kitchen and it was only $7.
Snagged this super adorable cake plate for just 10 buckaroos. I'd been eyeing the Martha Stewart collection at Macy's, but could not see paying 30 dollars (and upwards) for one cake plate. My version feature and ugly red ribbon, but I changed that sucker out for this and now I'm loving it.
I also found these adorable melamine bowls for $3. I love all the colors!
I feel like my trip was successful. Got a lot of great stuff for not a lot of money. Always a good feeling! =]

FOX's Fred Barnes distorted Kerry's position on abortion
Weekly Standard executive editor and FOX News Channel host Fred Barnes misrepresented Senator John Kerry's position on abortion, falsely asserting that Kerry is "against a ban on partial-birth abortion. And he also is against parental consent." Barnes made this false assertion during the October 10 edition of FOX Broadcasting Company's FOX News Sunday, on which he is a weekly panelist.
As Media Matters for America has noted, Kerry has, in fact, voted to restrict late-term abortions "where there was a clear exception for [the] life or health of women." Regarding the issue of parental notification for teenagers seeking abortions, Kerry voted for an amendment that would have required parental notification except in certain cases, such as pregnancies that resulted from incest with a parent or when a doctor determined that notifying a parent could lead to abuse.
Barnes ignored the fact that Kerry explained his position on these issues during the October 8 presidential debate:
KERRY: I'm against the partial-birth abortion, but you've got to have an exception for the life of the mother and the health of the mother under the strictest test of bodily injury to the mother. Secondly, with respect to parental notification, I'm not going to require a 16- or 17-year-old kid who's been raped by her father and who's pregnant to have to notify her father. So you got to have a judicial intervention. And because they didn't have a judicial intervention where she could go somewhere and get help, I voted against it. It's never quite as simple as the president wants you to believe.

Another Monday has been and gone (on this side of the world at least). I thought I'd sit down again and share some of the interestingness (yes, that's a word now) that came through my various news feeds over the course of the weekend.

Estonia's dirty energy drive for self-sufficiency
Editor's note: Isa Soares is a reporter for Marketplace Europe.
(CNN) -- The drive from Tallinn to Auvere in North-Eastern Estonia was long and dark. The winter sun had yet to rise and we saw little of the outside world from our misty car windows.
But as we arrived at Narva, Estonia's border with Russia, a picture began to form of the economic strength of this region. In front of us, swaths of land were being bitten into and scooped up by colossal Soviet diggers.
That's because underneath this grey-brown land is a soft-brown sedimentary rock that is rich in oil.
But unlike shale oil and shale gas which is drilled and often associated with fracking, oil shale is found in rocks just 30 metres underground.
The rock is blasted and crushed, before releasing oil when heated. It will then be burned to create electric power or processed even further to produce liquid fuel.
They have so much of the stuff here -- 18 million tonnes are mined here every year -- that they are completely energy independent.
Eesti Energia's CEO, Sandor Liive, tells me that around 90% of the power produced in Estonia is made of oil shale and they even have enough to provide for their neighbors.
"Our production of electricity in Estonia is 11 terrawatts. Estonia consumes less than eight terrawats, so we are a very strong electricity exporter today."
But this is not a new industry for Estonia.
They have been squeezing rocks here for a century and, now that they're making money, companies such as Eesti Energia are investing heavily on new plants, Liive told me.
"Commercial utilization of oil shale started nearly 100 years ago. Estonia got our independence in 1918 and actually Estonia independence is very much close links with the oil shale industry, because in 1924 we already had oil plants in operation, and even gasoline was produced," he said.
"As you can see from here, during last three years, we have invested one billion euros here. So this is not only 100 years of history but this is actually modernization and continuous development of technology and new investments."
During our visit here, one of their proudest achievements -- the Enefit 280 oil shale plant, which will double output of kerogen oil -- was already taking shape.
But talk of new plants, more open-cast pits and more shifting of land makes environmentalist cringe. Valdur Lahtvee is one of those calling for Estonia to ditch this primitive way of mining, arguing that there are enough renewable resources in the country to have 100% power supply based on renewables.
He should know -- he used to work at Eesti Energia. Now, he's the Director of Climate and Energy Programme at Stockholm's Environment Institute.
"Oil shale is the dirtiest fuel used today in European Union. The external cost of the oil shale power is 18 euro cents, coal is about is 10 cents per kw hour, wind is 0.4 euro cents -- that gives you a picture of the ecological footprint of the oil shale used," he told me.
"Oil shale industry contributes approximately 4% of Estonia's GDP, but, at the same time, total national emissions it provides 90% of the hazardous waste, about 80% of the major air emissions and 70/80% of the water used. So, it has a really huge impact to the environment."
It's a charge that I put to Eesti Energia's CEO who counter-argued by telling me that for the land they shift is replanted with trees.
One thing is very clear, the environmental impact is very predictable. Off course, we mine, we have some mining impact -- we move the land, but we put it back and we plant a lot of trees. I think in [the] energy business anyway, and in any industry, [there is] an environmental impact, even in the wind turbine has an environmental impact."
He continued: "Yes, they don't emit Co2 in the place where you produce electricity but you know a lot of environmental impact has been done getting metals, transporting it and building it. I think it's very important in the oil shale case that you know what you get, you know that this environmental impact is very predictable."
The problem is Estonia won't want to let go of its oil shale dependence, because it's competitive. It's cheaper than Russian gas, onshore and offshore wind. On top of that, it would cost companies too much to change their Soviet infrastructure.
And then there is political pressure, Lahtvee told me. "There is biomass, there is a nice wind condition, we are a coastal country, by the Baltic sea so there is a lot of wind. But mainly the question is we have inherited these power production systems, these power plants; it's much more costly to replace."
Lahtvee pointed to political pressure, too. "Elections are every four years, and the voters will ask what will happen with their electricity or their energy costs. Politicians always try to answer that "we keep the power prices down." Therefore, the system stays without major changes."
But these advantages may not last. Estonia's oil shale gamble assumes that oil prices will remain high, and that the price they pay the European Union for carbon emissions remains low.
This may be the case (carbon is hovering around four euros a tonne). But some in the European parliament are calling for prices to be pushed back up as much as fifty euros a tonne, a price that could be damaging for a business like this one which has built itself mostly on shale.
While Liive may be worried about oil prices and emission costs, he tells me it's not enough to make him lose sleep.
So, for the time being, Eesti Energia is powering on. Its international arm Enefit is betting on shale selling beyond its borders, with a plant in Jordan and recently bought land in the U.S. state of Utah.
A risky strategy. But if shale does stay strong, Estonia could win big.

introducing...Katy Kitty!
Katy is the doll I designed for my oldest daughter's birthday. She turned six last week. Way back before May, both my girls requested homemade dolls for their birthday, after seeing little Miss Audrey's bunny in progress. My youngest decided on a monkey, so I came up with Molly. My oldest girl promptly requested a 'red kitty cat'. Why red, I don't know. But her wish is my command, so now here's Katy.
I really enjoyed designing her and making her. I wasn't under such a manic deadline as I was with Molly. Plus, after designing Molly and working out most of the kinks with her pattern, I was able to take it further and embellish it for Katy without coming up with something totally from scratch.
Which gave me plenty of time to make her some cute accessories besides her beret, like her ear bow, her little backpack and notebook, and of course the new little twist on the shoes.
My favorite part of Katy is her shoes. I just love these wingtips, and I wish I could have a pair like them for myself this fall. Have you seen any?
In case you are wondering, Katy's sleeves and skirt are from Tula Pink's beautiful Flutterby fabric line, part of a charm pack I bought a while back when I was designing Molly.
As Molly's pattern is available for free download, I'm planning to make Katy's pattern available as well, although this time for a very reasonable price. Watch for the announcement soon.

ST. PAUL, MN – In observance of the 74th Anniversary of the tragic sinking of the United States Army transport Dorchester off the coast of Greenland, Gov. Mark Dayton has ordered all U.S. Minnesota flags to be flown at half-staff at all state buildings in the State of Minnesota, from sunrise until sunset on Friday, Feb. 3, 2017.
Individuals, businesses, and other organizations also are encouraged to lower their flags in observance of the anniversary on Friday, Feb. 3, 2017, at the time of their choosing.
In 1957, the U.S. Congress established national observance of the tragedies anniversary to honor the four chaplains of difference faiths whose heroic and selfless acts that day saved the lives of many men. The Governor's proclamation notes that Immortal Four Chaplains Day encourages all Minnesotans to express "compassion for those of different races or faiths."
Witnesses of the event in 1943 recounted the heroic actions of Lt. George L. Fox, Methodist; Lt. Alexander D. Goode, Jewish; Lt. John P. Washington, Catholic; and Lt. Clark V. Poling, Dutch Reformed. During the 18 minutes the transport was sinking, the four chaplains went soldier to soldier to calm fears and hand out lifejackets. When there were no more lifejackets left to hand out, the four chaplains removed their own life vests and selflessly gave them to soldiers in need of protection. The four chaplains went down with the ship, arm-in-arm in prayer.
The chaplains' unique interfaith spirit and love for their fellow men was memorialized by the United States Postal Service on a postage stamp titled "These Immortal Chaplains – Interfaith in Action."
A copy of the Governor's proclamation can be found here.

Dr. Cliff believes that, although many professors and teachers do an admirable job in the classroom, many students and children do not learn well in traditional institutions. Many students and children don't respond to the assembly line nature of most institutions. He believes that a student's or child's strengths and natural abilities need to be the foundation of learning. Dr. Cliff often warns against a "cookie cutter" approach to educating students, teenagers and children. You or your child is seen as an individual, and natural strengths are identified and built upon. Therefore, individual one-on-one tutoring or help is the key approach to each student who has any challenges difficulties in a given subject.
In today's environment and economic challenges, with shorter budgets for the education, larger classes sizes and pressure of performing well in all kind of standard tests, I often see many students lacking true knowledge and skills in a given subject, since they cannot get individualized attention during the class session. That's where a tutor comes into the picture, not only uncover major "holes" in students' knowledge set but also teach students how to study, how to learn and through proper guidance "fill" those knowledge and skills holes.

I have a BA in Latin and Greek. It is true that these languages are "dead" and can be difficult to learn, but they are still useful in the modern world. An intensive study of Latin, for instance, provides a fundamental understanding of the language through the explanation of many grammar topics. This results in a fuller understanding of English grammar and vocabulary. It is good to develop the discipline required to learn Latin in high school and beyond.
In addition to tutoring, I teach Latin from scratch. I have typed up a series of Latin Outlines based on college course material. Outlines are divided into three sections: Grammar, Vocabulary, and Exercises.

Aisha Sanda - Conservation & Environment, Galapagos Island Conservation in Ecuador
When I initially planned my trip I was super excited as an Earth Science major to see where Charles Darwin proposed a theory about evolution because of the diverse variety of life there. That feeling got cut short a month before the trip as I lost someone very close to me. Less than 24-hours before my flight I decided to take the trip as I worked so hard to save up for the project.
Arriving in San Cristobal
I was already fascinated by what I could see from my window on the plane, the landscape of the volcanic island was breathless. I was welcomed by a staff member who took me to the office to meet with the Director, William Puga for a welcome chat and briefing about the island and the project.
Afterwards, I was taken on a tour to familiarise myself with the essential places (pharmacy, hospital, post office, launderette, police office etc). The island is easily accessible on foot to most places and being terrible with directions getting around is pretty straightforward (almost literally).
My host family
Before meeting my host family I thought it would be difficult for me to adjust because of the language barrier as all I could say was hola (hello). I got to the house and "Mama Bachita" my host mother ran out to give me the biggest hug ever like she hadn't seen me in years, which made me feel so welcomed and comfortable.
I met my host family and they were so nice and absolutely lovely that it broke all barriers you put up when meeting people for the 1st time. I had my own en-suite room that was cleaned with fresh towels; it felt luxurious living with them and enjoying Mama Bachita's delicious Ecuadorian food.
My previous thought on language barrier was quickly washed away as they encouraged me to speak and learn Spanish by using body language and hand movements when conversing to make it easier for me to pick up.
With sentences difficult to construct Mama Bachita always had a laptop connected to the internet on the Google translate page. Mama Bachita, Narumi and Freddy (my host mom, sister and father) took turns spending individual one-on-one time with me taking me out to get a better feel of the island and to do recreational activities which I thought was amazing because we got to connect and bond on a deeper level and understand each other better. It felt like I was living with my long lost family.
Conservation project
The project I got involved in was Conservation. Work revealed more of the island to me as most infrastructure and homes where close to shore, but the project required us going deeper in to the island where I got see the rain forest, worked with the famous giant tortoises and my favorite the tiny new borns where we got to feed them.
I got to work and eat on farms, go volcano hiking where we had to put rat poison close to birds nest, bird watching, basically variable once in a lifetime activities and while being taught about the preventive and precautionary measures of conserving and protecting the environment. It was educationally exciting making it easy for me to wake up the next morning because the projects carried out was fulfilling, entertaining and therapeutic work was in an untouched ecosystem.
Living in San Cristobal
Living in London I'm using to walking for hours without seeing happy, friendly faces or conversing with strangers. The Galapagos Island is completely different, it was like a huge extended family living together, everyone was friendly, happy and excited to get to talk, chat, help and teach basic Spanish to non-speakers.
In two weeks I met a lot of local friends whom I got to hang out with and learnt more about their culture and expanded my Spanish vocabulary. Delicacies like lobster on the island are very affordable (i.e. cheap) and sweet juicy fresh fruits there were at my disposal. The beaches there are not ordinary. They are dominated by sea lions that made trips to the beach fun as they entertained people by playing or fighting with each other and running around. The sea lions are harmless and coexisting harmoniously with humans.
Being a dancer and a lover of the nightlife, I experimented the clubs that played amazing dancing music and most of the locals were good dancers and willing to teach me some salsa and bachata on the dance floor.
All in all I had an amazing trip (the best) and I went all by myself. In spite of all the issues I was dealing with the beauty, kindness and the love the island offers is so therapeutic, mind healing and stress free that it makes you forget. Well at least it did for me. My only regret is not staying longer and I hope one day to go back for a longer time.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. – Timely hitting and solid pitching in both games proved to be the deciding factor as baseball picked-up a pair of Little East Conference wins over the Corsairs of UMass Dartmouth Saturday afternoon the first conference doubleheader of the 2013 season at the UMD Athletic Complex.
With the pair of victories, the Beacons closed out their first week back in New England with a 3-0 record to improve their overall record to 6-6. In conference play UMB closed out the first Saturday doubleheader with only 2-0 record in the LEC. Every team, with the exception of the Southern Maine/Western Connecticut State University doubleheader which was postponed, recorded a split. For the Corsairs they fell to 4-8 overall after Saturday's losses.
Having his best overall day so far this season was junior right fielder Jamill Moquette (Boston, Mass.) who went 5-for-9 with four RBI and two runs scored respectively. Catcher Todd Ezold (Westfield, Mass.) also had a strong showing at the plate as he finished game one 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored, while in game two he went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored.
On the hill Kyle Szatrowski (Agawam, Mass.) improved to 3-0 with his game one win, while Luca Ilges (Gloucester, Mass.) earned his first decision of the year, following the Beacons late inning rally in the nightcap. In the opener Szatrowski allowed nine hits through the first six innings, but did not surrender a run. He also allowed just one walk. For Ilges he closed out the final three innings of game two allowing just two hits and no runs to go along with a five strikeout performance. Patrick Austin (Torrington, Conn.) got the start in the nightcap and through six innings fanned six batters.
In the opener, the Beacons nearly squandered an 8-0 lead through the final three innings, as the Corsairs tacked on seven runs to nearly tie the game in the bottom half of the ninth. After a strong showing from Szatrowski through the first six innings, UMB's bullpen struggled to keep the momentum going but with a ninth inning save from Tyler Kane (Wilbraham, Mass.) the Beacons managed to hold on for the win.
It was in the opener that Moquette went off at the plate first driving in a run in the top of the first, before crushing a three run bomb in the sixth to blow the game wide open. The homer and RBI single in the second marked the first four runs driven in by the junior this season. Also going the distance was Ezold, his first of the year, in the second inning.
In the third the Beacons tacked on two more runs on a two RBI double by Kurtis White (Nahant, Mass.). After Moquette's homer made it an eight-run ball game things seemed to be all wrapped up for the Beacons. However, the Corsairs had other ideas first putting up four runs in the seventh to make it 8-4. They then made it a three-run game after the eighth, setting up what would be a very tense ninth. UMD would get a pair of runners on base to start off the final inning. Following the second single, the Beacons went to Kane. A fielding error would prove almost costly as a pair of runs would score. Both runs were charged to Matt Dziok (Southampton, Mass.), who started off the ninth after recording the final out of the eighth.
Now just a one-run game and with no outs on the scoreboard and a runner on second, Kane had to silence the now rowdy Corsairs dugout. He would get the next batter to fly out to right. The following batter would also fly out to Moquette in right field, but with the runner at second tagging on the catch Moquette was able to gun him out at third capping off the very hectic final inning.
In the nightcap, UMB jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the second, but a five-run bottom of the seventh would put the Corsairs out in front with only two innings left to play. Down but not out, the Beacons clawed their way back into the contest, first by scoring a run in the eighth on a Moquette RBI single which scored Nick Brothers (Fort Myers, Fla.). Trailing by two, and with only three outs remaining, UMB started the ninth off with a single from Charles LaPaglia (Marshfield, Mass.).
Dartmouth did manage to get lead runner on a fielder's choice to put one out on the board. However a single from White would put runners on first and second. Ezold would then step to the plate and crush a double scoring both Beacons runners to tie the game at 5-5. The Beacons game-winning run would come as a result of a fielding error, which allowed then pinch runner Adam Gutierrez (Springfield, Mass.) to score.
Baseball returns to action on Monday when they host Westfield State University at 6 p.m. at Campanelli Stadium.

Obama, Romney play for Ohio, Pa.
Reid Epstein in Cincinnati, Ohio and James Hohmann in Morrisville, Pa.
Mitt Romney made a last-ditch play for Pennsylvania on Sunday night in a bid for an upset win in a state where Democrats hold a significant registration advantage, while President Barack Obama pleaded for support in swing state Ohio, where his vice president had spent the day campaigning.
Story Continued Below
It was a day marked by frenetic campaigning in four states by each of the presidential hopefuls, big crowds, sharpened attacks - and the sight of Romney's plane and Joe Biden's Air Force 2 parked close to each other at the Cleveland airport.
( PHOTOS: Final countdown to Election Day)
Romney continued to contrast his vision for America to Obama's during a stop in suburban-Philadelphia's Bucks County before an estimated crowd of 25,000.
"What a Philadelphia welcome," Romney said, taking the stage with the "Rocky" theme music playing.
"This audience and your voices are being heard all over the nation. They're being heard in my heart. The people of America understand we're taking back the White House because we're going to win Pennsylvania."
Despite the Romney campaign's efforts in Pennsylvania, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel said on CNN on Sunday that the state was secure for Obama, adding that he had seen polls showing the president leading by "a comfortable margin."
Romney's play for Pennsylvania has some questioning if it's a wise use of time this close to Election Day (the state hasn't gone for a GOP presidential candidate since 1988, when it went for George H.W. Bush, who became president).
( Also on POLITICO: Lessons learned from 2012)
"This is one of those states that came into view right after the first debate. And as a result, it just presented a great opportunity," Romney senior adviser Kevin Madden told reporters Sunday. "So we've seen that state just get closer and closer and closer. And here you are with an incumbent president under 50. We're essentially tied. We're overperforming in many of these critical areas of the state, like the Philadelphia suburbs, areas like Scranton, southwest Pennsylvania."
He continued: "So we see it as a great opportunity, and traveling there today we think can help make a difference. And this is actually the perfect time given that you're 48 hours from people making a decision, given that that they don't have early voting there."
Meanwhile, in Cincinnati on Sunday night, Obama fired-up voters in an effort to secure the state's crucial 18 electoral votes.
"Ohio, that's why I'm asking you for your vote — I need you Ohio," Obama said. "If you're willing to work with me and knock on some doors for me, and early vote for me, we'll win Ohio, we'll in this election."

Weight Watchers vs. Nutrisystem vs. Jenny Craig
Almost sold out! Get your ticket to the All Markets Summit on Sept 20 in NYC.
It was actually a customer service rep who told me I could switch from the meal delivery to just the Turbo Shakes after my first month on the program to lock in the auto-delivery savings without having to commit to another month of food. I am a very picky eater, so I thought the food was going to be questionable, but it is surprisingly good. I had gained 25 pounds over the last year and I could not fit into any of my clothes. I wanted to say that this article is nicely written and included almost all the vital info I needed. Staff sends 3-year-old home from hospital with a song celebrating end of chemo. I was a bit embarrassed as I walked through the store carrying a box of Nutrisystem.
Popular on CBS News
I also have access to Nutrisystems website. The website includes chat rooms, blogs, and group discussions about dieting. The website is a great place for me to go to receive support. I have not felt this energetic in awhile.
I now have the energy to get through the day without feeling so tired. I even have enough energy to work out. Without the Nutrisystem plan I would still be overweight, unhealthy and unhappy. Without Nutrisystem I would still be eating unhealthy and gaining weight instead of losing weight. I joined Nutrisystem two and a half months ago.
When I first started the program it was an adjustment I had to get used to. I was used to overeating all of the time. With Nutrisystem the food portions are designed to be just right so a person gets the nutrition he needs and still loses weight. I had to get used to eating the right sized portion instead of overeating. Once I adjusted to eating differently the plan started to really work. The plan is easy to follow and comes with instructions on how to do so.
I am losing weight easily. I am feeling healthier every day. I am enjoying the foods I am eating, and I am enjoying the compliments I am receiving on my weight loss. I joined the Nutrisystem plan because I knew I was headed in the wrong direction with my body weight. I decided to start going to a gym. However, I did not know how to start eating right. I pick the food I want to eat from the menu that Nutrisystem provides.
Nutrisystem also shows me how to plan what to eat for the day. The foods are really good. I love some of them, like most of them and only disliked one or two items out of the whole menu.
One of my favorite foods from Nutrisystem is their Mexican style tortilla soup, it's great. As far as diets go Nutrisystem is a great plan. When I was on the Nutrisystem plan it worked for me. I lost weight, learned to eat healthier and felt great. Nutrisystem is also extremely easy to follow. The plan comes with easy to follow instructions on how to use the program to work for you.
When I was on the plan my wife and children would eat their food while I ate my Nutrisystem food. Her food was hard to resist; however, I stuck to the Nutrisystem plan because their food also tastes good. I ate good food every day. Foods such as blueberry pancakes, blueberry muffins, honey mustard pretzel sticks, beef stew and broiled beef patties. Nutrisystem truly does go to great lengths to help make losing weight easy. I wanted to lose 20 pounds, but ended up shaving off 30 pounds thanks to Nutrisystem.
Nutrisystem is the best diet plan I have ever tried. I have tried to diet a few other times in my life but I could not stick to the diet.
With Nutrisystem I do not have to learn recipes. I do not have to learn to eat better foods. I do not have to count calories. I do not have to weigh food. With Nutrisystem all I have to do is follow the instructions and eat the foods Nutrisystem supplies. When I joined Nutrisystem I was afraid the food would taste terrible as I had read a review online saying so. Of course there are a few foods that do not suit my taste such as the eggs frittata; however, most of the foods are delicious.
For breakfast I can eat pancakes, blueberry pancakes, cinnamon buns or oatmeal. There are many other breakfast foods to choose from also. For lunch I can eat hearty minestrone soup or choose from many other menu items. Nutrisystem also offers great dinners, snacks and desserts. Following the Nutrisystem plan is easy and I am seeing results.
I wish the weight melted off easier, but it took a while putting it on and so I expect it'll take time getting it off too. I had tried losing weight on my own a few times but it was too hard to count calories and weigh out all of my food what a time sucker!
I always got discouraged about losing the weight. With Nutrisystem I have not became discouraged because Nutrisystem makes the plan so simple to follow. While it's not fresh food the meals are frozen , it still just as great tasting.
Speaking frankly, I was really afraid that I would hate the Nutrisystem food. I gave the food a try thinking it would taste like cardboard. However, I was completely wrong, the Nutrisystem food is delicious. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and all my snacks provided by Nutrisystem are tasty.
My wife loves me being on the Nutrisystem diet too. She is very impressed with the progress I have made losing weight. She just makes dinner for the family and I eat my Nutrisystem meal. Nutrisystem is a great diet plan that I personally think can help anyone lose weight.
Let's be honest here, does any man like to cook? Not only do I not like to cook, I just don't have the time to cook. That's why Nutrisystem really appealed to me when my doctor recommended it.
I am a busy man who works 80 hours a week. I am also single. I just don't know how to cook, so I eat fast food quite often. I also eat at restaurants often too. The reason I go out to eat so often is because I am single, busy and do not know how to cook. Going out to eat is just easier than learning how to cook. But eating out is expensive and has caused me to quickly add on 30 pounds that I no longer wanted.
I thought if I pay to go out to eat everyday I might as well pay to eat this healthy food and lose some weight. The best part of the Nutrisystem plan is that I do not have to prepare the food and it still tastes great.
I am losing weight eating healthy delicious foods. I'm happy and so is my doctor who was telling me I needed to lose weight. I have lost nine pounds since I started the diet. With Nutrisystem you get to chose from many foods that are already prepared for you. You also get a daily menu planner and a diary to log your success in. Nutrisystem also provides a website that includes articles, weight loss stories, blogs, chat rooms and a live counselor who is available 24 hours a day for support.
With the Nutrisystem plan I go online everyday and log onto Nutrisystem's website to see my progress. I also check the discussion group forums and talk to other men who are trying to lose weight. I enjoy using the Nutrisystem web site.
The Nutrisystem plan is so simple to follow. I really can not think of any other diet plan that is as simple to use as Nutrisystem. The food Nutrisystem offers is also excellent. My favorite food from Nutrisystem is the beef stew. I love beef stew and I would not want to give it up for a diet.
However, with Nutrisystem I do not have to give up beef stew because Nutrisystem offers a beef stew dinner. I have been on the plan for about one month now and have already lost seven pounds which wasn't happening with Bistro MD.
I'm happy to say that losing weight has never been easier. The Nutrisystem plan is very easy to follow and simple to understand. I get to eat three meals a day plus a snack and a dessert. As soon as I start to feel hungry I get to eat again. With Nutrisystem I get access to the Nutrisystem website tools too. The website is wonderful. I can log on and talk to other people from all over the world who are trying to lose weight. The other people on the website inspire me to want to lose more weight and become even healthier.
The people on the website inspire to me to stick with the plan until I reach my goal. It's a great support group. The Nutrisystem website also provides me with access to a counselor who is available 24 hours a day to chat with if I have any questions. It's working for me and I know it will work for you too. Now if I can only get my wife on it. I need more support! I have been using Nutrisystem's plan for about two months now.
I thought for sure when I started the plan that I would probably have at least one thing to complain about it; however, I was wrong. Nutrisystem truly is a great plan. Any problems that you may read about online are obviously one off items and not a consistent trend. The basic plan is extremely easy to follow. It comes with specific instructions on how to follow it. It also comes with some great dieting tools. The best part of the plan is that it comes with healthy foods that are already prepared for me to eat.
Food wise, I love the vegetable beef soup; it is one of my favorite things to eat for lunch. I love to eat the chili with beans for dinner. So far, I love all of the foods I've tried. I haven't found one that wasn't edible.
Even the desserts and snacks taste darn good. And unlike other diets, with Nutrisystem I don't crave junk food because I get a treat everyday in the meal plan: I have needed to lose weight for quite awhile and am just glad that I'm finally doing something about it.
I am very satisfied with the basic plan. Like most guys I know, I love to eat! I was always afraid of going on a hard core diet plan because I did not want to give up great tasting foods.
With the Nutrisystem plan I have not had to give up any of my usual great tasting foods. Hats off to Nutrisystem for figuring out how to get great tasting food in a small package that is so easy to prepare - just stick it in the microwave and you're eating in 5 minutes. So far, my favorite is the mushroom risotto, the chicken with dumplings, and the chili with beans, the flame broiled beef patty, the barbecue sauce pork wrap, the chocolate chocolate chip pudding, the chocolate crunch bar, the chocolate chip cookie, the creamy tomato sauce, the blueberry pancakes and the blueberry muffins.
I could go on and on about the rest of Nutrisystem's dishes but I'm making myself hungry ;- I enjoy eating all of Nutrisystem's foods. I do not think I have found a food that I did not like yet. Do not be afraid of having to give up eating great food because you're still going to get great food with Nutrisystem. Nutrisystem is a great diet plan for anyone - especially men. I get to eat great food that is already prepared for me everyday.
All I have to do is follow the basic directions for following the plan and eat the Nutrisystem foods. The best part about the Nutrisystem plan is that I lost seven pounds since I started it a month ago.
Nutrisystem also supplies its members with a member website. The website helps individuals on the plan stay motivated. The website is a place where anyone who is on the plan can go for support. I enjoy logging onto the website and seeing the progress that I have made. I also enjoy reading inspiring stories from others on the Nutrisystem plan that have lost weight. Luckily though, Nutrisystem offers many different foods to choose from. Nutrisystem is also adding new food items to the menu all of the time.
Always good to keep the variety up. The Nutrisystem plans foods are also healthy. Nutrisystem has empowered me to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. As an added bonus, I now do all the cooking for my girlfriend, which has really helped our love life. After all, who can't throw an extra dish in the microwave for 5 minutes? Give it a try guys and I expect your girlfriend will be just as happy as mine is. I have lost 20 pounds in three months and haven't been exercising at all.
Just like their marketing says, the plan really does allow you to eat healthy while losing weight. The foods are very easy to clean up when I am finished also. Just throw the microwave safe container in the trash. What more could you ask for? I take my frozen lunch with me to work and I can get more work done while losing weight! The plan is also very simple to follow, just follow their instructions.
Don't deviate by eating snickers bars, okay?! Stay away from those evil vending machines too! If you drink coffee, stop using creamer as I discovered I was drinking an extra calories a day in coffee creamer! The Nutrisystem plan is great for men who do not know how to cook and want to lose weight, feel healthier and eat healthier.
Since starting the diet, I've lost 20 pounds and have started feeling good about my body again, which has helped my love life significantly. My girlfriend can't keep her hands off of my new slimmer waist ;- She is so proud of me and she thinks I look great.
Who would have thought I could eat healthy food that I do not have to prepare that I actually like? I am a married man who needed to lose weight. My wife told me I should try Nutrisystem because I could lose weight while eating good tasting food. Each food is assigned points based on its serving size, calories, fiber, and fat; and no foods are forbidden. Your point allowance is based on your weight, height, gender, age, and activity level.
A recent clinical study in the New England Journal of Medicine linked group counseling sessions to weight-loss success. That explains why Weight Watchers has impressive short-term results. A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine showed participants lost an average of about 5 percent of their body weight 10 pounds in six months.
Two years later, they had kept about half the weight off. To help members stay on track, Weight Watchers encourages them to attend meetings until they've stayed within 2 pounds of their goal weight for six weeks. After that, you get free lifetime membership. The company says members using its online tools in addition to attending meetings lost 50 percent more weight than those going to meetings alone. Cost to lose 20 pounds: We looked at two plans from eDiets - one that offers support alone, and another with meal delivery.
You can choose from among more than 20 diet plans, including ones for diabetics and vegetarians. Online tools let you set goals, plan menus and generate shopping lists. There's no face-to-face support, but you get support through online message boards and a mentor program that connects newbies with an experienced member.
Also, you can reach a registered dietitian or personal trainer by phone at any time. The optional meal delivery service offers freshly prepared, calorie-controlled meals delivered by FedEx. But telephone support has some evidence in its favor: Yes, it's a bargain for round-the-clock support. For about the same money, other services offer better track records. For the first two weeks, you eat three extremely low-carb meals a day plus mandatory snacks.
After that, you gradually add "good carbs," such as fruits and whole grains. You can customize menus, search a database of more than 1, recipes and get a personalized shopping list. There's online support from staff dieticians and members plus daily motivational emails.
Studies have shown that after one year, carb-restricted diets led to greater weight loss and increased heart health than low-fat diets. However, the advantage disappeared over the long term. How much can you expect to lose? Figure on 8 to 13 pounds during the two- week kick-start phase, then 1 to 2 pounds a week thereafter. It doesn't cost much, but you don't get as much support as with Weight Watchers or eDiets.
The Zone diet is mostly meat, fruits, and vegetables. You eat three meals per day plus two Zone protein-powder snacks. A study of people in the Journal of American Medical Association found the Zone diet helped people achieve modest weight loss after one year, comparable with those on the Atkins , Weight Watchers and Ornish diets, and improved cardiac risk factors. Premium-priced Jenny Craig lets you order its heart-healthy, nutritionally balanced packaged food by phone and pick it up at a Jenny Craig center or have it delivered through Jenny Direct.
You eat three Jenny Craig meals plus a snack per day, and supplement with fruit, vegetables and dairy. Once a week, you get a weigh-in and pep talk with a consultant - who is not a dietician and who earns commissions from selling you products. There's also round-the-clock phone support.
Jenny Craig has a good track record for short-term weight loss up to one year. In a UC San Diego clinical trial of dieters funded by Jenny Craig , Jenny Craig clients lost 11 percent of their initial weight after 12 months, compared with 3 percent weight loss by those who were dieting on their own. The "doctor-designed" Bistro M. The price is a cut above the competition, too. The plan tries to help you avoid a weight-loss stall out by varying the daily calorie intake between 1, and 1, By eating a little more some days and a little less on others, you'll supposedly prevent your body from becoming used to the same number of calories every day.
While no university studies support the theory that varying caloric intake aids weight loss, the high quality of the food and the relatively large portion sizes have been praised by Health magazine, Dr. Phil and The New York Times. Some plan users have complained of a lack of choices and menu flexibility compared to other plans, but a company spokesman says they offer more than entrees and can make substitutions to accommodate allergies and food preferences. It's a reasonable price for well-made food with slightly faster average weight loss than with Jenny Craig.
This meal-delivery service, endorsed by Marie Osmond and Dan Marino, emphasizes foods with a low glycemic index. The underlying premise is that controlling blood sugar levels leads to weight loss. The heat-and-eat prepared meals and snacks contain roughly 55 percent "good" carbs, 25 percent protein, and 20 percent fats; like Jenny Craig, you add fruits, vegetables and dairy.
Support is available through phone counseling and online chat rooms. There's plenty of research showing that following a diet of 1, to 1, calories a day, such as Nutrisystem, can cause weight loss. For example, a study by the Obesity Research Center at St.
Luke's Roosevelt Hospital in New York found that postmenopausal women who followed a 1,calorie plan for 16 weeks lost an average of 21 pounds. For a meal-delivery diet system, Nutrisystem is more economical than Jenny Craig.
Although today's program is not as stringent as the original liquid fast Medifast launched decades ago, the low-fat, relatively low-carb plan is designed to bring about rapid weight loss by coaxing your body into a "fat-burning state" known as ketosis.
The 70 meal replacement choices include shakes, bars, soups, pudding, oatmeal, chili, pretzel sticks, cheese puffs, and scrambled eggs. If you can stick with it, a diet of 1, calories a day can certainly induce rapid weight loss. A common concern with such low-calorie diets is that you'll quickly regain the weight, but in a small clinical trial recently published in the journal Experimental Biology , after 10 months, only about one in five people regained all the weight they had lost. Choose this more extreme plan only if quick weight loss is your priority.

New Yorkers will ignore a lot of oddities walking down the streets of the city. You have to, because you encounter the weirdest things. Like a guy licking his shoe clean on the subway. Or people who like to poop in public. It happens.
But, apparently, some things do freak out some New Yorkers. And the walking undead, what with their hanging flesh and vibrant eye colour that I haven't really seen explained in any literature yet, is definitely one of those things.

What unbecomes a legend most? Look no further than this long weekend's well-timed candidate for the TV Turkey Hall of Fame: Liz & Dick (Lifetime, Sunday at 9/8c), an epic of stunningly cynical and pathetic miscasting, a TV-movie so laughably inept it doesn't deserve to be on a first-name basis with anything resembling humanity.
Even deep breaths seem too much to ask of Lindsay Lohan these days, let alone capturing the essence of an exotic film goddess who reigned for years as a superstar sex symbol, by which of course we mean Elizabeth Taylor — who isn't so much rolling in her grave but yawning and laughing from the great beyond at this sorry and tacky exploitation of her torrid history with Richard Burton. The movie itself is awkwardly structured as a seemingly posthumous joint interview with Liz and Dick, sitting and talking about their highs and lows to an unseen questioner. (Who knew Access Hollywood had access to the afterlife?)
The story actually begins on "the last day of Richard Burton's life" in 1984 (which makes him the lucky one), but quickly flashes to the '60s set of Cleopatra, back when Liz was in her prime — which the wan and petulant Lohan is anything but —and where sparks first flew between her Cleopatra and Dick's Marc Anthony. It's lust and love-hate at first sight, and pity poor Grant Bowler (Ugly Betty) as he attempts to pitch ludicrous woo ("We don't need a pool. I've got a whole ocean in you") to a blank-faced co-star with the allure of an asp. You'll find more exciting chemistry in a high-school lab.
The most authentic moment occurs when Liz informs Dick, "I can't tell you a thing about acting." Tell us something we don't know. And later, during one of the many tantrums and benders that constitute a story line, Liz cries, "I'm a joke!" The joke is on anyone who tunes in hoping for a memorable TV train wreck, hoping that Lohan's tabloid notoriety might add a sordid subtext to this insipid love story. No such luck. Liz & Dick might as well be titled, "Who's Afraid of Watching Lindsay Lohan Channel Elizabeth Taylor in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (After watching that recreation, I immediately booked a ticket to the excellent Broadway revival of the Albee play. Now that's acting!)

ABC gives your family two chances to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (8/7c Wednesday and Thursday nights), a classic from 1973 that is being paired with another Peanuts cartoon, This is America, Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyagers. ... Though not quite as seasonal, CBS' Survivor (8/7c) is teasing the fact that one of the winners of this week's reward challenge (a spa getaway) returns with "a full belly and a bitter attitude." Could they possibly be talking about the unbearable Abi? ... A new sports/entertainment talk show, Jim Rome on Showtime, premieres (10/9c), with the sports personality interviewing the Lakers' Kobe Bryant, Green Bay Super Bowl champ Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Perry (who plays a fake sports-radio host on Go On) and producer-turned-NBA/MLB franchise owner Peter Guber.THURSDAY
You know the drill: parades in the morning, football in the afternoon and night, including NBC's first-ever Thanksgiving prime-time game, featuring the Patriots vs. the Jets. (Check tvguide.com listings for details.) But don't forget about a somewhat newer tradition: the 11th annual National Dog Show on NBC (noon/11c), this year featuring two new-to-the-show breeds: the Russell Terrier and the Treeing Walker Coonhound. ... Most of prime time is in repeats, but not on Fox, where The X Factor (8/7c) will air its live results show (the suspense is not killing me), followed by a new episode of Glee (9/8c) that feels more like a Halloween outing, with most of the New Directions kids decked out in superhero costumes.

Heroism is the not-so-subtle theme of the week, as Blaine is lured back into the "dark side" world of the Warblers ("You know what goes great with a Dalton blazer? An impromptu song!"), while Finn steps up to be a "uniter of friends" when Jake and Ryder keep fighting over Marley. But honestly, Glee: I know every show needs a villain, but I'd be most thankful if you transferred or otherwise banished the hateful Kitty, whose ongoing scheme to turn insecure Marley into a bulimic is the worst idea this show has had since Terri's fake pregnancy in the first season. ... And if you didn't get enough of the music earlier this week on Dancing With the Stars, ABC marks the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson's "Bad" album with a Spike Lee documentary, Bad25 (9:30/8:30c).FRIDAY
Showing more dimension than the usual cartoon hero, SpongeBob SquarePants goes the stop-motion animation route in the wacky new special It's a SpongeBob Christmas! (9:30/8:30c), designed as an homage to the classic Rankin-Bass style, complete with original music — including the 2009 standard, Don't Be a Jerk (It's Christmas) — and an irreverent narrator, the piratical Patchy (Tom Kenny, who voices SpongeBob as well). The infectiously silly story involves Plankton's scheme to turn Santa (John Goodman) against Bikini Bottom by turning everyone naughty through fruitcake tainted by jerk-tonium — merrily distributed by an immune SpongeBob, of course, who in the action climax comes face to face with his robotic doppelganger. (Nickelodeon will replay the special on Sunday, Dec. 9.) ... CBS' two-hour holiday cartoon block (also featuring two Frosty the Snowman classics and last year's Hoops&Yoyo Ruin Christmas) will be followed by a new edition of CBS News' Person to Person (10/9c), featuring interviews with Sean Penn, Alicia Keys, quarterback Drew Brees and gold-medal gymnast Gabby Douglas. ... For something more awww-inspiring, Nat Geo WILD breaks down barriers between species with back-to-back episodes of Unlikely Animal Friends (8/7c, Friday and Saturday). If you've ever dreamed of watching a golden Lab swim alongside a dolphin, or a Great Dane help raise an abandoned fawn, this is your show.SUNDAY
Stunt casting extraordinaire, as Stockard Channing guests on CBS' The Good Wife (9/8c) as Alicia's mom, paying a Thanksgiving visit with legal strings attached. ... More mommy issues on ABC's dramas, as Regina's mother Cora (Barbara Hershey) plots to take possession of the magic compass on Once Upon a Time (8/7c). While on Revenge (9/8c), an episode-long flashback to 2006 recalls a surprise visit from Victoria's own estranged mother (Adrienne Barbeau!), who's an unwelcome reminder of where the Hamptons' Queen B came from. (Hoping when the show returns to 2012, it can get its mojo back.) ... There are new episodes of AMC's The Walking Dead (9/8c) and Showtime's killer combo of Dexter and Homeland (9/8c and 10/9c) as well. Quite the way to end a long weekend. Happy Thanksgiving, all!

Our newest indulgence: Banquet Fruit Pies (review)
Sunday, August 22, 2010
I've said it before here, and I'll say it again, but I'm not really a sweets person. Mostly because I have some weight to lose, and I'm not sure why exactly, but I've always liked salty snacks better than sweets.
That being said, I also love fruit. Peaches are my favorite! So when Mom Central contacted me about doing a review for the NEW Banquet Fruit Pies, I was intrigued.
Banquet is known for their microwavable dinners - fried chicken, salisbury steaks, and one of my favorites - pot pies. Who knew they would delve into the dessert world?!
Each Banquet fruit pie has a half serving of real fruit inside a flaky pastry shell that bakes fresh and hot from your oven or microwave in minutes. The pies come in three classic flavors: apple, peach, and cherry berry and at only about $1 a pie, Banquet pies make it easy to treat guests at a summer get-together, offer a special "finale" for your next family dinner, or just indulge yourself with a mid-day treat.
From August 26-28, before the Labor Day holiday, 650 select Wal-Marts nationwide are offering in-store demonstrations with free samples of the pies topped with Reddi-wip! To find out if your local Wal-Mart is having a demo, please check with the store manager, or visit the In-Store Events section at Walmart.com.
Our thoughts:
We received four coupons to try out the new pies. At first, I couldn't find them at any of my local stores (which is pretty common, and I'm sure you other reviewers could agree!) but I finally found them at my local Walmart Supercenter yesterday. I made them for dessert last night and of course I had to get the Peach Pie! I loved it! The flavor of the pie is right on, and the crust is flaky! My children both tried the apple and they loved it too!
We put ours in the oven because I wanted that real, oven-baked taste, and next time I have one, I'll put it in the microwave to see if there's any difference. I hope not!
I think I've found a new dessert item...
In moderation though - right?
Disclaimer: I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Banquet and received free coupons to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central also sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
