FAQ – Custody / Visitation
Please review some commonly asked questions and my responses. To submit your own question and get a response, please click here.
What is the difference between legal custody physical custody?
Legal custody is the right to make major decisions in the child's life effecting the child's health, education, welfare, and religion. In most cases, both parents will share joint legal custody, meaning that they both get to make these major decisions together. Physical custody refers to where the child's residence is. The parent having physical custody will make the day-to-day decisions for the child.
What types of custody are there?
There are two main types of custody – legal and physical. Legal custody is the right to make major decisions in the child's life effecting the child's health, education, welfare, and religion. In most cases, both parents will share joint legal custody, meaning that they both get to make these major decisions together. If one parent has sole legal custody, however, they are able to make all decisions for the child without consulting with the other parent.
In terms of physical custody, there are many different forms. Sole physical custody means that one parent is the child's residence and the other parent may have parenting time (visitation). Shared legal custody means the child resides primarily with one parent, but the other parent has the average of 2 overnights per week; one parent will be designated the parent of primary residence and the other parent the parent of secondary or alternate residence.
How do I get custody or parenting time (visitation)?
If you were never married to the other party, you will make an application to the court for custody or visitation in the county in which the child resides. You will set forth what you want the court to order and the reasons why.
If you are married and are in the process of divorce, your application for custody and parenting time will be part of the divorce complaint and will be addressed during the divorce proceedings.
Can I change custody or parenting time (visitation)?
It is possible to change custody or the visitation schedule. You can always modify a custody order if it is in the best interests of the children and if there has been a change in circumstances. There are specific legal standards that you have to prove in order to change custody or visitation. These proceedings are complicated and may result in what is called a "plenary hearing." A plenary hearing is a mini-trial on the issue of custody or visitation where both parties will provide testimony, evidence and argument to support their position. N.J.S.A. 9:2-4 sets forth the criteria the court considers when making a custody decision as follows:
"In making an award of custody, the court shall consider but not be limited to the following factors: the parents' ability to agree, communicate and cooperate in matters relating to the child; the parents' willingness to accept custody and any history of unwillingness to allow parenting time not based on substantiated abuse; the interaction and relationship of the child with its parents and siblings; the history of domestic violence, if any; the safety of the child and the safety of either parent from physical abuse by the other parent; the preference of the child when of sufficient age and capacity to reason so as to form an intelligent decision; the needs of the child; the stability of the home environment offered; the quality and continuity of the child's education; the fitness of the parents; the geographical proximity of the parents' homes; the extent and quality of the time spent with the child prior to or subsequent to the separation; the parents' employment responsibilities; and the age and number of the children. A parent shall not be deemed unfit unless the parents' conduct has a substantial adverse effect on the child."

High Density Polyethylene Pipe (HDPE) is a thermoplastic pipe made from material that can be melted and reformed. It is rugged, flexible, and durable. It has outstanding chemical and environmental stress crack resistance.
Relative to existing infrastructure, like ductile iron, concrete or PVC, HDPE seems like a new product. In reality, it has been successfully used in a wide variety of piping applications for over 50 years.
The outstanding physical and performance benefits of HDPE pipe make it the perfect choice for your piping systems.
Corrosion Resistance
Corrosion is one of the most costly problems associated with metal piping systems. It occurs both inside and outside the pipe and affects hydraulic efficiency. Many cities treat their water to help slow rust and pitting that is inevitable with metal pipes. Others choose costly cathodic protection, plastic coating, or sleeving to try and extend the service life of the pipe.
Unlike traditional metal infrastructure products, HDPE pipe does not rust, rot or corrode. It is resistant to biological growth. This means an extended service life and long term cost savings.
Fatigue Resistance
HDPE pipe is flexible and ductile, not rigid. It has outstanding resistance to fatigue. Unlike other plastic pipes, it is designed and pressure rated to handle the kind of occasional and recurring surge events that are common in water distribution systems.
In many instances, this will enable you to utilize a thinner wall HDPE pipe as compared to other types of plastic piping.
Extended Service Life
HDPE pipe is a safe and durable product ideal for your piping infrastructure. The service life of HDPE is estimated to be between 50 to 100 years, depending on application, design and installation.
Leak-Free Joints
An independent study reports that municipalities in 43 states average a water loss of 16% due to leaking joints. Some report water losses as high as 50%.
Traditional infrastructure piping is joined with bell and spigot or mechanical type joints and all acknowledge a specified leakage factor. Not only is our most precious resource being lost, but leaking pipes are costing our cities money. HDPE piping systems can be joined with heat fusion to produce permanent leak free joints.
Fusion Joints
HDPE piping systems can be joined with heat fusion welds. Heat fusion involves the heating of two HDPE surfaces then bringing them together to form a permanent, monolithic, leak-free system.
Unlike the fusion process developed for other plastics pipes, the fusion process for HDPE is proven and has been used by the natural gas industry for over 40 years. Approximately 95% of all gas distribution piping in the United States is polyethylene pipe joined by heat fusion.
Fusing HDPE pipe is not difficult and personnel can be trained in the process.
In addition to joining HDPE with heat fusion, HDPE pipe can also be joined with Stab or Mechanical Fittings.
There are a wide range of these fittings available, specific to your pipe size and application.
HDPE pipe can easily be transitioned to and from non-HDPE piping systems utilizing Mechanical Joint adapters (MJ's), Stab fittings and Mechanical and Flanged Connections.
Trenchless Installation
Traditional piping systems are installed by open cut (digging a ditch), resulting in traffic and environmental disruption. HDPE can be installed using this traditional open-cut method or by utilizing eco-friendly trenchless technology.
For trenchless installation, a horizontal directional machine bores a continuous hole beneath the ground. When the drilling head reaches the end of the bore, the pipe is attached and pulled back through the hole.
The flexibility of HDPE, combined with its outstanding tensile strength and abrasion resistance, make it the preferred and proven choice for trenchless installation technology.
HDPE pipe can be installed utilizing trenchless technology under creeks, rivers, lakes, roads, or right-of-ways with minimal environmental and public disruption.
When compared to a non-plastic pipe installed using the open-cut method, a leak-free HDPE system installed utilizing less invasive trenchless technology is more cost effective.
Pipeline Rehabilitation
Trenchless technologies are also used to rehabilitate old, failing pipelines with HDPE. There are several technologies to choose from when rehabilitating old pipelines. These technologies include slip lining and pipe bursting. Both are excellent techniques for cities to revitalize or replace and upsize older existing infrastructure.
In addition to its outstanding physical characteristics, HDPE is recognized for its minimal impact on the environment:
• It takes less energy to manufacture HDPE than non-plastic pipes.
• HDPE is lightweight and is often more cost effective to transport than metal pipes.
• The flexibility of HDPE, combined with the use of heat fusion to join the pipe, means fewer fittings are required.
• In trenchless installations, the physical characteristics of HDPE pipe enables you to use a smaller pipe, resulting in less ground disruption than when installing other fusible products.
• HDPE pipe joined with heat fusion provides leak free connections.
• HDPE does not emit potentially hazardous levels of toxins into the air during production, during fusion or into the ground or water during use.
• HDPE pipe can be recycled back into non-pressure piping applications.

Autumn means fungus forays through multicoloured woods, kicking a way through crunchy fallen leaves of gold, red and green. Fat-bellied stoggies (wood pigeons) feasting on beech mast, and squabbling rooks in the oak trees raiding acorns. Bejewelled hedgerows, strung together with gossamer threads, highlighted in the misty mornings as the weak rays of the morning sun nudge their way through the greyness, with wild geese flying overhead in a V formation, noisily proclaiming that winter is on its way.
Walking down my quiet country lane, I feel the heaviness of the still air. The mist has dulled all the senses: no sounds, no smells, just a greyness. But as I walk on I hear a high-pitched sound, and then I see them, a flock of long-tailed tits whistling down the hedgerow, and I watch their acrobatics with wonder; soon they are gone, enveloped by the grey haze of autumn.
And autumn, in east Yorkshire, is the time of Hull Fair. The first royal charter for a fair to be held here was granted in the 1200s, and to begin with it was mainly a gathering of traders to sell all manner of goods, but by the 1800s entertainment was the main focus. By 1906 it had a fixed date in October, and a fixed site off Walton Street of 14 acres, making it the largest fair in England. This year it is running for eight days, until tomorrow. Like so many other revellers, I have golden memories of the fair, of battling against the tide of people down Walton Street. I remember the bright lights and swirling, stomach-churning rides, the sounds of the hurdy-gurdy barrel organ competing with pop music blaring out from the rides, showmen shouting their wares, the roar of motorbikes on the wall of death, and the wail of the ghost train. The sweet smell of candy floss, roasted chestnuts, and hot dogs and onions bring it all back to me.

What Happened After LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner "Liked" One of My Posts
Last month I published a long-form post comparing the Microsoft-LinkedIn deal to the Golden State Warriors-Kevin Durant deal. This pairing of two big news stories drew the usual amount of Likes and Comments.
Then, about three weeks after I posted it, something unexpected happened. I saw a notification on my iPhone saying "Jeff Weiner likes your post"
Could it be Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn, I wondered? After all, there are 252 LinkedIn members named "Jeff Weiner" and I am connected to one of them (not the CEO one).
Imagine my excitement when I clicked through to see that my 184th Like was indeed the CEO of LinkedIn.
Within days, the number of Likes and Comments doubled as my post reached an entirely new audience through his extensive network. Many of these people sent me invitations to connect LinkedIn.
I also followed my own training advice and reviewed the people who had Liked and Commented. If they appeared to fit the profile I have for LinkedIn connections, then I send them an invitation saying:
"Thanks for Liking my post comparing the Microsoft-LinkedIn and Warriors-Kevin Durant deals. Since we seem to share some interests, let's connect on LinkedIn."
Between the two processes, I added over 80 new connections as a direct result of this post.
Who knows how many of them could become customers, referral sources, or possibly even good friends?
The take-away is that publishing interesting content on LinkedIn will increase your visibility and generated various types of responses. Follow up on those responses to engage with people and grow your network.
If you are interested in having me speak to your sales team about the new era of social selling brought about by Microsoft's purchase of LinkedIn or you want to engage me for LinkedIn training or a social selling workshop, please get in touch.

We have pleasure in attaching our summary of the key announcements in the Chancellor's Autumn Statement 2014. We hope you will find it useful and interesting.
It was much more significant than most Autumn Statements have been in the past and reflects the fact that there is only one more such occasion before the May election. So George Osborne was clearly aiming to make a favourable impression.
The greatest impact will be on the housing market, which will immediately feel the beneficial effects of his lowering of stamp duty for the vast majority of home buyers.
The reform to ISA allowances, making them inheritable, at least between married couples and civil partners, echoes the upcoming and welcome changes to the taxation of pension death benefits.
There were many other important announcements which we cover in the summary.

Autumn Statement Highlights
The Autumn Statement looked very like a mini-Budget, with several major new provisions and a raft of other measures. The key points included the following:
- Residential stamp duty land tax (SDLT) has been restructured with effect from midnight on 3 December. Buyers will now pay a rate of duty on the portion of the purchase amount that falls within each band (like income tax).
- The rates and thresholds of SDLT have been adjusted accordingly: there is no tax on the first £125,000 of any residential property transaction, with the top rate at 12% on the slice of value above £1.5 million. Commercial SDLT rates remain unchanged.
- Spouses and civil partners will be able to inherit their deceased spouses' or partners' ISAs and ISA allowances for deaths from 3 December 2014.
- The tax treatment of pension annuity payments to dependants will be brought into line with the treatment of 'flexi-access' withdrawals. So, if an individual dies before the age of 75, their surviving beneficiary's income will be tax free.
- Non-domiciled tax payers will have to pay more to be on the remittance basis of taxation. The government is consulting on making a remittance basis election apply for a minimum of three years.
- There are a very large number of anti-avoidance measures, including one to counter tax avoidance by multinational companies that earn profits in the UK but use avoidance techniques to divert these profits offshore. This diverted profits tax will be 25%, applied from 1 April 2015.
- Other measures include freezing fuel duty and the abolition of air passenger duty for
children under 12 from 1 May 2015 (and for under-16s a year later).
Any questions feel free to give us a call on 0121 231 7080 and ask to speak to Steve.

Another blog to handle, blogspot fanatic much. Haha. It's not all about me, it's for a class assignment. No, it's not fun to make something that I love so dearly into a stressful activity. Blogging for assignments is not nice at all, there's super lots of readings to do before being able to write a post. Oh, plus referencing! It is basically my essay on the internet. I like everything about blogger in draft except the uploading of the picture part, mafan giler.

Jamba (NASDAQ: JMBA) is playing nice with activists, and Wall Street's liking it for now. Shares of the 862-store smoothie chain moved sharply higher on Tuesday after naming a pair of activist investors to its board and concluding a well-received conference presentation.
Appointing JCP Investment Management's James Pappas and Engaged Capital's Glenn Welling will silence the potential proxy battle that loomed at Jamba. Pappas -- despite owning just a 2.3% stake in the chain -- was proposing six new board members to shake up the meandering chain last month. The move followed Engaged Capital taking an 8.2% position earlier in the year, also vowing to push for changes.
You can't blame the activists. Jamba is the killer brand in its niche, but that hasn't translated into blowout financial performance. The stock may have moved nicely higher for three consecutive years, but it only seems to be scratching the surface.
Jamba posted several years of annual deficits before squeezing out a small profit in 2013. It's hoping that handing over company-owned locations to franchisees and cutting costs will help improve profitability in the future.
Presenting at the ICR XChange Conference on Tuesday morning, Jamba fleshed out its refranchising initiatives. It plans to go from a store base that is presently 70% franchisee operated to 80% by the end of this year, ultimately achieving a run rate of better than 90% by the end of next year.
Jamba's targets for 2015 are encouraging.
- It sees its remaining company-owned stores growing comps this year at a 3%-5% clip, up from an earlier forecast of just 2%-4% in comps growth.
- Jamba hopes to generate an operating profit of 4%-6%, up from an early goal of 2%-3%.
- The plan for 2015 is to refranchise as many as 114 stores and open 100-125 new global locations.
The refranchising effort has been rolling out for a couple of years now. Investors can't value Jamba based on revenue growth because its top line is shrinking as it shifts to an asset-light and franchisee-heavy model. Analysts see revenue sliding another 16% this year as it goes from ringing up sales to collecting royalties. Activists, Jamba, and Wall Street agree that the best course for Jamba continues to be to grow its fleet of franchisee-run smoothie shops. We're living in changing times where smoothies are available from burger joints and coffee shops -- usually for less and often with drive-thru convenience -- but Jamba's still the brand that matters.
Pappas and Welling on the nine-member board will make things interesting. Pappas in particular doesn't like to wait around. He took a chairman position on the board of a publicly traded KFC franchisee in 2013 and in a year it was sold off to a private equity firm. Does he see Jamba as a property that can continue to deliver market-beating returns for years with a few operational changes, or is he hoping to smoke out a buyer hungry for Jamba's growing presence in wellness beverages and food products?
The blenders are turning faster at Jamba. A proxy battle may have been averted, but the real creamy goodness may be waiting at the bottom of the blender.

Do Not Disturb DVD
Starring Doris Day, Rod Taylor, Sergio Fantoni, Maura McGiveney, Hermione Baddeley, Reginald Gardiner, Aram Katcher, Leon Askin, Lisa Pera, Michael Romanoff
Directed by Ralph Levy
Romantic comedy starring Doris Day and Rod Taylor as a couple whose marriage encounters difficulties when they relocate from America to London.
Mike Harper (Taylor) and his wife, Janet (Day), are drawn to England by Mike's work commitments.
While the couple are happily married, they disagree on where to stay.
Mike would prefer to rent a flat in London, close to his work, but Janet insists they move to the surrounding countryside.
As a result, Mike begins to spend less time with Janet, often finding it easier to stay the night at a company flat in London rather than tackling the lengthy commute home.
In her loneliness, Janet strikes up a friendship with a French decorator she hires, Paul (Sergio Fantoni), while Mike becomes close to his secretary, Claire (Maura McGiveney).
Janet and Mike have every intention of remaining faithful to each other, but fate - not to mention, Paul and Claire - may well have other plans for them...

Compressor Issues with Air-Powered Sanders
Forum Responses
From the original questioner:
I've noticed the copper air line leading from pump to the tank is too hot to touch. However, the sander is a self-generating vac, and the air port on the sander is cold enough to condense shop air on it. Air from the sander exhausts 10' away in bag. I do have it running through a 4' coalescent bead hose to remove moisture. But does this affect pump in any way negatively or even sanded wood if not having water drop on it?
From contributor B:
Check your compressor manual. The compressor itself may have a duty cycle rating, of say 65-75% run time. Rings and valves may be affected.
That the copper line is too hot to touch is normal. As the air is compressed it gives off heat. As the air expands, at your sander, it absorbs heat. Think of how your air conditioner works - that's why it's cool.
From contributor R:
I think you already know the answer Nathan. 100% run time for a certain number of hours will shorten the life of the compressor. How much, don't know. I used to have two sanders running and the tank of my compressor could almost get to hot to touch. I think that is the reason Mirka's new electric sander is doing so well. You only have that little sander motor running. No 5 or 7 hp air compressor running, no filter maintenance, not nearly the noise. They are great little sanders.
From the original questioner:
Thet ShopTek screw looks great! Funny you should bring up the Mirka electric sander (CEROS). I have a 6" Porter cable and was considering the Mirka electric, but ended up going with Mirka 5" air with self-gen vac. I liked the portability of no vacuum, as well as ability to use in spray booth area. I may still get the 6" CEROS, as I think there are several sanders suited for different tasks (prefer the heavy PC to light Mirka when doing flat work with two hands). Less vibration and cuts as well if not better.
As for the air compressor, it doesn't say a duty cycle, but I would only be running for a hour or so flat out. Air tank gets slightly warm, but certainly not too hot to touch, like yours Contributor R.
From contributor R:
I have only tried the CEROS at a trade show, but was really impressed. It's very nearly the same weight as the air, and variable speed. That three year warranty makes it look even better. Our local supplier can't keep them in stock.
From contributor X:
I added an extra tank to my system giving it more capacity of air storage. Good thought on the electric sanders.
From contributor R:
I sold air compressors 30 years ago so this may be dated. Reciprocating compressors were designed for a 50% duty cycle and were more heavy duty then. You will burn up a recip compressor faster if you run it too much. Check your manual as to duty cycle. Less expensive machines run higher rpm to generate flow. These will burn up quicker. The pump is the bottleneck. Adding a tank is merely a buffer that will lengthen the time you can out draw the compressor and will lengthen the time to refill back to capacity once usage stops.
My neighbor recently built an unvented insulated room around his compressor to mitigate noise. I suggested he draw inlet air from outside. He did not. About 6-8 months later I came in one morning to hear a screeching sound. Turned out the pump froze but the motor was burning the belt up. Rotary screw compressors can run 24/7 with proper maintenance. I think they run more efficiently, so the power cost is a bit lower.
From contributor A:
Adding a second tank to the existing compressor usually does more harm than good. It makes the unit run longer to fill that second tank. Sure it may take a minute longer for it to "start" when you are using the sander, but it will run longer overall.
From contributor L:
Small shops generally don't have efficient compressed air systems. Typically the reciprocating compressor will be running too long at a time. It will be compressing air way above the pressures actually needed in the shop, wasting energy. Water vapor will not be removed before the tools. But in defense, compressed air systems are expensive.
While a very small shop may not be willing to invest in a complete system, shops with expensive tools should. CNC, beam saw, bander, bore and insert need clean, dry air for best results/life. Even your RO sander will have a shorter life without clean, dry air. Coalescing filters remove mist but not water vapor. The water vapor turns to water at the tool and damages bearings, etc.
From contributor F:
I've always wondered how the cost of use compares on electric versus air sanders. A 7hp plus compressor running versus the motor on an electric, plus the initial cost of the compressor.
From the original questioner:
Yes, I've wondered this as well. A large compressor running vs. small DC motor (in the case of Mirka CEROS electric) with shop vac. My (not so large) 3hp compressor runs nearly as long as I am using sander, at 12amp x 240v = 2880w (compared to the 400w dc motor, plus 1440w shop vac (12a at 120v).
So in reality my self-generated vac air sander is using 2880w compared to equivalent 1840w electric sander and vac. That's only 56% more power, much less than I was expecting.
I love the portability of my new self-gen vac sander. Not having to drag a vacuum along when I am going between rooms, or having to plug in vac and hook up hoses is nice and safer in the spray booth too.

Legacy forums will be shutdown February 28
In 2014, we announced the retirement of our legacy forum, forum.spring.io, in favor of providing an improved community experience on stackoverflow.com. As part of that announcement, we put our forum into read-only mode, preserving forum posts that were referenced in various Spring issue trackers.
On February 28, 2019, we plan to take the forum completely offline. In preparation for this end-of-life activity, we have gone through our issue trackers and identified links to forum.spring.io that contain supplementary information related to an issue. Based on this analysis, we have either copied such text directly into the issue tracker or otherwise ensured that no essential information is lost.

"I decided to take the plunge to do macro counting and it has completely changed my life and body in such positive ways. I was able to see results so quickly and finally started seeing great definition. I was also able to achieve a healthy weight and feel confident in my own skin."
"The FitFlex program included a customized and personal plan, one-on-one coaching, tracking tools, and community support. All of this combined provided me a system I could succeed and I was surprised at how quickly I became accustomed to the flexible eating lifestyle."
"I believe the #1 reason FitFlex Nutrition worked for me is that I was in control of the food I eat. I needed a program that also worked with my family. I was able to adapt recipes to make them macro friendly. I wasn't buying supplements, shakes, pills, or pink drinks and I lost 30 pounds."
"The diet is easy to follow, and more than that, Coach Jada has been a beacon of positive energy and encouragement the whole way through my journey. I'm three pant sizes down in three months and I don't plan to stop anytime soon."
"Within a month I started seeing changes on the scale and also in the mirror. I never sacrificed any of my favorite foods (French fries and pizza) but instead made proper substitutions. With this plan, I could enjoy the foods I love while still hitting my macros."
"Coach Steph has been a great cheerleader and provided constant encouragement and support, which is what I needed. I have lost 24 inches and 14 pounds so far. More than this, I'm stronger than I have ever been and in the best shape of my life. "
"I was initially skeptical of this eat-whatever-you-want-as-long-as-it-fits-your-macros concept. But here I am, 15 weeks into my coaching with FitFlex Nutrition and I am pretty amazed at what I have achieved so far, I lost pounds and inches."
"In just six weeks, my stalled-out body found new life, and I'm finally realizing the results that I have sought for so long. I've dropped noticeable body fat, gained muscle, and continued to improve my performance in CrossFit."
"I lost 10 pounds, 10 inches, and roughly 4 percent body fat. I dropped to a pant size that I hadn't worn since 2003, and it all happened in six months. The weight fell off fast, and I saw my lowest weight in over 20 years."
"Within three months of working with FitFlex Nutrition, I hit every goal that I set for myself! I have lost 7.7 pounds and 7.5 overall inches, and I have taken my body fat from 17.6 to 13.9 percent—all while eating the things I love.Working with Steph has been amazing, and I can't believe how great I look and feel."
"I have always struggled with nutrition and would starve myself to lose weight, but with this approach I lacked strength and energy to work out. With Stephanie's guidance, I was able to eat more calories and many more carbohydrates yet I was steadily losing a pound or more per week."
"I started macro counting at Fitflex Nutrition three months ago to lose a few pounds. I lost 10 pounds, 10 inches, and roughly 4 percent body fat. I dropped to a pant size that I hadn't worn since 2003, and it all happened in six months. The weight fell off fast, and I saw my lowest weight in over 20 years."
"The FitFlex Nutrition program made a significant difference in my life. When it comes to nutritional programs there are loads of people who talk a good game, but Coach Steph helps you make it happen. She has enabled me, coached me, and given me the confidence to share her story widely."
"I quickly learned how great my body was capable of feeling when getting the right nutrients personalized for my body and my exercise levels. I saw results quickly, not only physically, but mentally as well. In learning all of this, I found it was easy to eat healthy foods and still enjoy life and indulge when I wanted. "
"Working with Steph has been so easy, and also fun! I've learned a lot about nutrition, and it's wonderful to have someone helping me think about and communicate my goals. I can't say enough positive things about the flexible lifestyle and her holistic approach to health and nutrition."
"The results have been amazing! I have lost 16 lbs and 18 inches, so far. I have lost more than 6 inches from my waist alone. I haven't felt "Hangry" or deprived of the foods I love and I've also had better results in the gym."
"After eight months, I have lost 25 pounds and 11 inches! I haven't deprived myself of anything that I love; I just fit it into my daily macros. I now continually focus on eating a better combination of foods and not as much."
"I have always worked out, but the nutrition piece was one part of the puzzle I couldn't seem to grasp. After years of undereating (and weighing more!), I am finally eating properly to fuel my body, and the results—they speak for themselves."
"Stephanie is simply amazing! I had hit quite a plateau working out on my own. Stephanie was able to quickly identify some changes to my nutrition to help me with my goal within the first three months of working with FitFlex Nutrition."
"I started counting macros with somewhat vague goals early on—drop some weight, eat healthier. After two weeks, something clicked. I realized, with Stephanie's help, that I needed to be more specific—and it wasn't all about the scale."
"In six months, I have lost 20 pounds while consistently setting PRs on weightlifting and moving faster on all forms at the pull-up station (pull-ups, toes to bar, chest to bar). At 54, I have more energy and stamina than I did 20 years ago"

If my memory is serving me correctly this is only the second Bainbridge novel that I've read so I am perhaps not the best of readers to comment on what was her last work and one which, at her death, remained unfinished. I am even more hesitant because I read The Girl in the Polka-dot Dress only because it was a book group choice and therefore one that I felt obliged to read to the end. You might be getting the impression that I wasn't that impressed and therefore asking, quite rightly, why I am posting about it. Well, there are a number of reasons.
First, I wonder why I don't warm to Bainbridge? There is one member of the group who will not hear a word against her and who insisted that this was as great a work as anything she had written. I'm not too worried that I couldn't agree with that because none of the rest of the group had managed to make much of this book either. It's set in 1968 in America during the period between the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. Rose, a damaged young woman of twenty-eight, has made her way from the UK to the States in order to join with the much older Harold in search of a man who has in one way or another radically influenced both their lives. The relationship between the enigmatic Mr Wheeler and Rose is one that as far as I could see was never really established. Harold, on the other hand is much clearer about the part that Wheeler has played in his life. What does seem likely is that their motivations for wanting to locate him are very different. However, Mr Wheeler really doesn't seem to want to be located and so the book turns into a road narrative as Rose and Harold trundle across the continent encountering a procession of very different individuals all of whom are also damaged to a greater or lesser extent. I didn't warm to any of them, but then that was the same with the characters in The Bottle Factory Outing which is the only other Bainbridge I've read, so perhaps it wasn't this book in particular, but her style of characterisation altogether. I don't know. Why don't I warm to Bainbridge?
The other reason I wanted to write about it here is that it isn't that long since we discussed the whole question of publishing unfinished work and whether or not another writer should try and complete that which has been left incomplete. At the end of my copy of the book there is this caveat:
Beryl Bainbridge was in the process of finishing The Girl in the Polka-dot Dress when she died on 2 July 2010. Her long-time friend and editor, Brendan King, prepared the text for publication from her working manuscript, taking into account suggestions Beryl made at the end of her life. No additional material has been included.
Apparently, Bainbridge, who knew she was dying as she wrote this novel, said that she would need another thirty days to complete it ready for publication. Given that the actual storyline itself appears to be there, whole and entire, and that nothing has been added to that, it would seem to me that what she would have used those days for would have been tightening up the narrative and (hopefully) making clearer some of those areas, especially in relation to motivation, that so perplexed us as a group. However, that is simply speculation on my part and it struck me as I was thinking about this that one way to explore whether or not that would have been the case would be to look at any working papers that exist from novels that she had written in the past. In other words, to extrapolate from her known working process in order to try and understand what was left to do with this book in those thirty days Bainbridge was denied.
This is where the practice by Universities of snapping up the literary remains of writers might be seen to be of some value. At least, it might if the writers have kept their working papers and it's possible to track the process of a book from preliminary ideas and sketches through to the finished product. What did Bainbridge do in that finishing off process? How did she go about polishing her work?
And yet, even then, would it have been possible to predict exactly what any alterations would have been? Surely it is precisely those tiny changes that lift a work from the ordinary to the exceptional and which define a writer as an individual? I think I am back where most of us ended up a fortnight ago; leave the work as it stands, even if it is then less than whole.
And, I think that this book is less than whole, at least I hope it is, because then I would have a good reason for coming away from it still not able to understand why Bainbridge is so well thought of, and could live in hope that another book of hers might open my eyes and make a convert of me.

'I quit because the mining report falsely indicted me'
He is the blue-eyed boy of the powerful Reddy brothers -- G Karunakara Reddy, G Janardhana Reddy, G Somashekara Reddy -- from Bellary. They have relied on him on times of crisis on more than one occasion and on Sunday B Sriramulu once again proved why he is their closest aide.
He sprung a surprise when he resigned his seat in the Karnataka assembly, protesting against the Bharatiya Janata Party's decision to deny him a ministerial berth and for keeping the Reddy brothers out of the ministry.
In this interview with Rediff.com's Vicky Nanjappa, the former Karnataka health minister says he has no intention of destabilising the state government.
Why this sudden decision to quit the Karnataka assembly?
It is not a sudden decision. I have been very hurt ever since my name figured in the Lokayukta report on illegal mining.
Is that the only reason or is there a bigger game plan?
After the (Lokayukta) report was released, I went on to say that it must be accepted.
The state government has done a lot to stop illegal mining. However, I am hurt that there are allegations made against me because they are incorrect.
If the allegations are baseless, then why did you quit?
There is no one above the law and in due course of time, the true story will come out.
I have decided to quit since I am hurt.
Image: B Sriramulu, who resigned from the Karnataka assembly on Sunday, September 4
'Where is the rebellion?'
The talk is that you are more hurt that your name was omitted from the new cabinet.
That is not correct. We have worked very hard to build the party and I will not go against the wishes of the party. I have accepted the party's decision.
If that is the case, then why the rebellion?
Where is the rebellion? I have not quit the BJP. I have only resigned as a member of the assembly. My credibility had been questioned and I could not have continued as an MLA.
I have never indulged in illegal mining and hence it was very unfair that I was named in the report.
How much time do you give this BJP government in Karnataka?
The BJP will complete its full term and there is no threat to the government.
Image: The Karnataka assembly
'Reddy brothers did not stage-managed my plan to quit'
There is no harm in saying that I have MLAs supporting me. They are my well-wishers and I have taken the decision to quit by taking them into confidence. I have also consulted them before stepping down.
Is this some sort of game planned by the Reddy brothers and you are just a pawn?
No. That's not true.
But they are the ones who have been pitching for your inclusion in the state cabinet.
That may be the case, but they have not stage-managed anything.
More importantly, this is not an act. I will say for the 100th time that the only reason I have quit is because the Lokayukta report has tarnished my image.
Image: The Reddy brothers
'No intention of forming a new party'
No. But I will approach the people because I believe in the verdict of the people's court.
I will tour the state, meet the public and let them decide what I am.
There is talk that if your demands are not met, you will form a new party.
I have utmost respect for the party. I have no intention of destablising the government. I am just embarking on a state-wide tour to seek justice from the people.
I have no intention of forming a new party.
There is also talk that you may join the Janata Dal-Secular party shortly.
All these rumours need to be rubbished.
Image: BJP supporters in Karnataka
'This is my battle'
I do not need to quote numbers. But yes, I do have a lot of them supporting my decision. I have not paraded them since this is not about proving my strength.
Is this an individual decision or are there more people behind this?
It is my decision. I have made that very clear. This is my battle and I will be with the BJP.
Do you think your image has taken a beating after the allegations in the Lokayukta report on illegal mining?
No, my voters know that I have not indulged in any sort of illegal mining.
You will see in the days to come what the people think of me and how the allegations against me are baseless.

Why Should I Pay Off The Mortgage?
Laura asks Dave to explain paying off the mortgage versus keeping it for the tax deduction.
QUESTION: Laura on Twitter asks Dave to explain paying off the mortgage versus keeping it for the tax deduction.
ANSWER: If you have the opportunity to pay off your home and you don't pay off your home in order to keep the tax deduction, that would be an indication that you are poor at mathematics. It's a nice way of saying you're stupid and you believe cultural lies that are out there. The cultural lie is never pay off your mortgage because you'll lose the tax deduction.
Let me help you with the mathematics on this. Let's use an example. Let's say you have a $200,000 mortgage at 5% interest. If this is your personal residence and you do itemize—by the way, only 27% of Americans who file taxes itemize—you can write off the interest portion of your payment on your personal residence. If you have a $200,000 mortgage at 5%, that would be $10,000. We have a $10,000 tax write-off because we have a $200,000 mortgage at 5%. That's a tax deduction, meaning if that couple makes $75,000 a year and they take a $10,000 tax deduction, they don't pay taxes on $75,000. They instead pay taxes on $65,000. If you do this weird Dave Ramsey thing, though, and you pay off the house, you no longer pay taxes on $65,000 because you would not have a tax deduction. You'd have to pay taxes on $75,000. You're in a 25% tax bracket if you make $75,000 a year. That $10,000 a year that we're talking about is taxed at 25%. By paying off your home, 25% of that $10,000 that you're going to have to pay extra taxes on is $2,500. In essence, you lost a $2,500 savings on your tax bill, but you gained $10,000 by not having to pay it to the bank.
A $10,000 tax deduction is the same thing as saying, "I would rather give Countrywide $10,000 than give the government $2,500." I'm not fond of giving the government money, but I think that that's a pretty stupid trade, by the way. If you're so dumb that you think giving Countrywide or Wells Fargo or whoever your mortgage company is $10,000 to avoid a $2,500 tax bill, you flunked math in the third grade. That's stupid. I used to be that stupid. I believed that same mythology that a lot of you believe.
Here's another idea. What if, instead of a $200,000 mortgage creating a $10,000 tax deduction, you wanted to trade $10,000 and save $2,500, why don't you just give an extra $10,000 to your church or to the Red Cross? You don't have to be in debt $200,000 to trade $10,000 for $2,500. You could do that just by increasing your charitable giving. Where are all these financial sophisticates who are suggesting that a mortgage is somehow financially sophisticated? Where are these sophisticates when it comes to saying increase your charitable giving? It's the exact same mathematics as having a tax deduction on your mortgage. We live in the land of doofuses. That's where they are. It's what's known as the blind leading the blind. The stupid leading the stupid, and I've been one of them. I'm not saying I'm above it. I've made these exact same mistakes. It was an old farmer in bib overalls who taught me that, and I've got a finance degree. Apparently, I didn't learn much at that college. And apparently some of you CPAs didn't if you're suggesting people keep debt solely because a tax deduction is somehow mathematically a good deal. It's not a good deal. Do not keep a mortgage to call yourself sophisticated. Bad plan.
Now if you've got a mortgage, until you get it paid off, for goodness' sake, take the tax deduction. But don't stay in debt telling everybody how smart you are.
Make your next home purchase a smart one by paying cash or sticking with a 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage. To really knock it out of the park, keep your monthly payment to no more than 25% of your take-home pay.

ImmuneWorks, Inc. recently announced the initiation of its Phase I clinical trial in patients suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a serious lung disease. The clinical trial will move the biotech company one step closer to commercialization of its lead IPF treatment compound.
Eight leading academic research universities will conduct the IPF clinical trial: Indiana University, Medical University of South Carolina, Ohio State University, University of Alabama-Birmingham, University of Chicago, University of Louisville, University of Michigan and University of Vermont.
"We are pleased to move forward into clinical investigation of our purified Type V collagen solution in patients suffering from IPF," said ImmuneWorks Chief Scientific Officer David S. Wilkes, M.D. "This clinical trial is important to study the safety of this naturally derived protein and investigate its ability to influence the ongoing immune response in IPF patients."
To promote the clinical trial and recruit participants across the eight cities, ImmuneWorks partnered with Indianapolis-based Synergy Marketing Group to develop a new website and conduct search engine optimization (SEO) to reach IPF patients and their physicians, friends and family members in Indianapolis; Chicago; Louisville, Ky.; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Birmingham, Ala.; Charleston, S.C.; Burlington, Vt.; and Columbus, Ohio. The new website is www.ImmuneWorks.com.
ImmuneWorks has been conducting research and development of treatments for serious autoimmune lung diseases for the last five years. Over that time, the company attracted the attention of several key investors, raising nearly $4 million. This funding came from groups including Indiana's 21st Century Research & Technology Fund, BioCrossroads' Indiana Seed Fund and the IU Medical Group Foundation.
IPF is a devastating lung disease that is progressive and generally fatal. An estimated 128,000 persons in the United States suffer from IPF, with 48,000 new persons diagnosed annually and 40,000 patients dying from the disease each year (source: Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis). The number of deaths annually is the same as breast cancer and greater than other cancers such as multiple myeloma. Currently no FDA-approved medicines exist for IPF in the United States or Europe.
About ImmuneWorks
Headquartered in Indianapolis, ImmuneWorks was formed in 2006 to develop and commercialize treatments for serious autoimmune diseases of the lung. Led by founders David Wilkes, MD; Michael Klemsz, PhD; Ronald Meeusen, PhD; and President and CEO Wade Lange, the company has made pioneering scientific discoveries that ImmuneWorks is developing as novel therapies and diagnostic products for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and lung transplantation. In November 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted orphan drug exclusivity to ImmuneWorks' lead compound, IW001, a purified bovine Type V Collagen oral solution. In June 2010, the U.S. FDA granted ImmuneWorks approval to begin clinical trials on the compound. Now, in collaboration with Lung Rx, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Therapeutics Corporation (NASDAQ: UTHR), ImmuneWorks is conducting clinical trials among IPF patients to test the effects of its new drug candidate. For more information about the company, visit the new website at www.ImmuneWorks.com.

A Patriotic Muslim's Warning on Ground Zero Mosque
The mosque that the Cordoba Initiative is planning to build near Ground Zero has generated a substantial amount of attention across the country. Exemplifying the ire of many Americans, a recent poll showed that 53% of New Yorkers were opposed to the mosque. And while that majority may not include as many Muslims as we'd like, more and more are speaking up in opposition to the mosque. These Muslims offer many Americans a vital interpretation of the Islamic religion as a whole and show that Islam is not in fact a monolithic faith.
Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, M.D., president and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD), is one of these devout yet patriotic Muslims. A former U.S. Navy lieutenant commander with 11 years of service as a medical officer under his belt, Dr. Jasser has made it clear that "until anti-Islamist Muslims wage the intellectual battle against Islamism within the Muslim consciousness, we will make no headway against 'the narrative.'"
Jasser founded AIFD in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in order to provide a Muslim American voice that would genuinely advocate and defend the founding principles of the U.S. Constitution. He has taken the fight against radical Islam to heart and sees it as a responsibility of all "true" Muslims. Where many U.S.-based Islamic organizations, such as CAIR and the Islamic Society of North America, claim to support the U.S. Constitution but provide dodgy answers and shoddy excuses for terrorism when the rubber meets the road, Dr. Jasser's AIFD is based on the founding principles of the United States. Where CAIR's rhetoric tends to create a tension between Americans and its Muslim members, the rhetoric of Jasser and AIFD refers to Americans as an "us" and not a "them."
"I have always looked upon myself, long before 9-11, as a Jeffersonian Muslim, if you will," Dr. Jasser answers when asked about his identification as a Muslim. "Along with the ideas of liberty as embodied in the works of our founding fathers, naturally emanating from that is a deep antipathy for Islamism (political Islam), salafism, jihadism, governmental sharia, and the global collectivist movement of the Muslim Brotherhood."
Terms such as "moderate," "secular," and "radical" are innately controversial as any group is able to contort them to mean what they want. For example, Jasser posits, the term "moderate" has become synonymous with being non-violent or anti-terrorism. But this is an oversimplification that blinds Americans to the very political ideologies -- which he identifies as "Islamism" -- that are the cogs and gears of terrorism.
"I know everyone is looking for an easy label to know the 'good Muslim' from the 'bad Muslim,'" Jasser continues, "but … I believe that the 'anti-Islamist' or at least 'non-Islamist' Muslims are on our side and the pro-Islamist Muslims, those who believe in the Islamic state and governmental sharia, are not on our side but on the side of political Islam."
AIFD's slogan is that its members are "Americans who happen to be Muslim, and not Muslims who demand to be American." As a devout Muslim, Dr. Jasser has voiced strong opposition to the mosque now called "Park 51" that threatens to encroach on Ground Zero. When he first heard of the plans, he says, he wrote an op-ed for the New York Post detailing why he as a Muslim felt a mosque in such a location would only offer more misguidance for the U.S. Muslim community.
"The reality is that many of us have never said their rights should be infringed in any way but rather that we pray that a light will finally go on in their heads which tells them that 'this ostentatious $100 million Islamic center should be built elsewhere and not in a place that casts a shadow upon the graves of thousands of Americans' -- still an open raw wound for most Americans," Dr. Jasser explains.
Jasser also expresses deep concern that the organization funding the mosque, led by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, has refused to exclude foreign funding from filling its coffers. Such financial transactions immediately offer the opportunity for foreign Islamists and their sympathizers to preach their version of political Islam and sharia, he warns, and present a very significant threat to national security.
"I cannot see genuine Muslim reform happening on the dime of foreign Islamist interests," Jasser says. "Make no mistake, this Islamic center is not a spiritual statement but a global political one in the name of Islam. ... Every group I have been directly involved with in building mosques and Islamic projects in the U.S. have rejected foreign funds entirely because of the ideological hypocrisies and Islamism that comes with them."
Dr. Jasser's only contact with Imam Rauf has been indirectly. Rauf penned a Huffington Post article admonishing anyone who thought sharia was incompatible with the Declaration of Independence, and Jasser responded with a commentary at HuffPo telling him that Muslims need to be "getting real with Shar'iah." Rauf's opinion that America must embrace sharia rather than fear it belies the true reality of sharia as implemented by Muslim majorities, Jasser explains, and demonstrates an intense denial or deception on his part of the innumerable female, non-Muslim, "liberty-minded Muslim," and minority victims of sharia law.
Dr. Jasser has also taken serious issue with the background story that the mosque's developers have chosen to promote.

San Mateo, Calif. – May 1, 2015 – Exabeam, a provider of user behavior intelligence, today announced its debut inclusion in the list of "Cool Vendors" in Security Intelligence, 2015i report by Gartner, Inc. Exabeam believes this recognition affirms its proven technology and ability to detect real-world attacks using behavior analytics.
In addition to this Gartner designation, Exabeam has experienced considerable momentum in the last quarter. In February this year, the company announced general availability of Exabeam 1.6, its out-of-the- box solution that applies user behavior intelligence in real time to leverage security information and event management (SIEM) data and quickly identify hackers using stolen credentials to move through a network. Earlier this month, the company announced cyber technology evangelist Barry Shteiman as its head of Exabeam Labs.
"Debuting as a Gartner 2015 'Cool Vendor' in security intelligence when we were in beta just last year we feel is a testament to the need for user behavior intelligence solutions while validating our specific approach," said Nir Polak, CEO of Exabeam. "Almost no organization currently has a product or strategy for detecting attackers using stolen credentials to steal data directly or to enable malware as their proxy. Across over 40 deployments and multiple verticals, we've been able to provide the visibility organizations need to see movements of attackers that have gotten past traditional detection solutions while creating operational efficiencies across the security operations team."
User behavior analytics (UBA) providers, such as Exabeam, are transforming security intelligence through their abilities to detect anomalous credential behaviors and access characteristics and identify attackers. Exabeam's machine learning functionality goes a step beyond traditional UBA abilities by performing Stateful User TrackingTM and user session assembly to automatically track and present a timeline of all user activities from log on to log off including attacker identity switches and IP address changes. The Exabeam solution is installed and working within hours, allowing users to learn from day one and providing value quickly by eliminating the need for complex installation or training requirements.
About Exabeam
Exabeam, a provider of user behavior intelligence, is unlocking the potential of existing SIEM and log management repositories to fundamentally change the way cyberattacks are detected and greatly simplify security operations. The company's groundbreaking technology applies user behavior intelligence and Stateful User TrackingTM to focus on attacker behavior rather than ever-changing malware and tools to detect modern cyberattacks. Built by a team of seasoned security and enterprise IT veterans from Imperva and Sumo Logic, as well as early SIEM pioneers from HP ArcSight and Splunk, Exabeam is headquartered in San Mateo, Calif., and is privately funded by Norwest Venture Partners, Aspect Ventures and Investor Shlomo Kramer.
