The A350 has met my expectations. I have a connected living room and dining area that is approximately 25 by 30 feet with 12 foot high cathedral ceilings, and the unit keeps the air smelling clean when we run the unit on fan speed setting number 3. Occasionally we are able to run it on setting number 2 and it will suffice, but the normal operating setting that we use is 3. Setting 1 would probably be sufficient for an average size bedroom, but it is definitely not sufficient for the size of the room where we have the unit.
The sound level for setting 2 is usually unnoticeable where as setting number 3 is definitely noticeable, but bearable. Obviously setting number 4 purifies the best, but we cannot run it at that setting due to having to yell when speaking, or raising the television volume way up when watching TV. We usually have a lot of dust in the house, but I have noticed a reduction in that as well. The unit is also aesthetically pleasing. One of the strongest selling points for me was the lifetime warranty offered by Alen.
Upon doing all my research prior to purchase, I did not find another company that offered a lifetime warranty on air purifiers. Hopefully, we will not have to utilize the warranty. Overall and so far, the A350 has been a good value for the money. I will update this review with any new developments should they occur.
With regards to purchasing from Sylvane, I am extremely happy. They offered better incentives for the product and shipping than their competitors did. I experienced one minor problem with the amount/billing of the purifier when I purchased it, but Sylvane's customer service was excellent. I made a quick call that was answered immediately, and the problem was rectified. The customer service rep was apologetic for the computer error, and he quickly remedied the problem. I would recommend the A350, and I would purchase from Sylvane again.

Arrived quickly and safely. Worked from the start. Not sure it is doing the job it is advertised to do as we run it on 4 with the ion feature 24/7 (we have two, one on first floor and one on second floor) and we don't really see or feel any difference. No reduction in dust and filters are still super clean. We purchased due to our toddler having breathing issues - if she could talk maybe she would have an opinion - LOL.

Comments about Alen A350 Air Purifier:
My wife has been suffering from allergies all her life. We have tried other purifiers that were not successful so she was very skeptical when I order not one, but two A350's.
We have now used the Allen for about a month. The purifiers make the bedroom air feel crisp and clear. The noise level is minimal especially on the lowest setting and the timer makes it easy turning the purifier on and forgetting about it. She really loves the fact that no ozone is produced by the built-in ionizer. The ozone by product was the reason she returned her last purifier!
My wife loves her Allen's so much she is buying one for her parents.
Comments about Alen A350 Air Purifier:
I recently found out I was allergic to our four cats. There was no way I was getting rid of them, so I did research and found out one of the best ways to fight pet dander is with an air purifier. I did a lot of research on air purifiers and this Alen A350 Air Purifier kept coming up on all of my searches as the most economical and best product around. We bought two of them, one for the master bedroom and one for the living room/kitchen (for an apartment).
We've had them seven days now and I can honestly say that the air quality in our apartment is noticeably better. When you walk in the door, its no longer "stuffy" and I don't sneeze immediately. The air feels cleaner and smells cleaner. Even my husband has noticed a remarkable difference and has commented how glad he is that we purchased both air purifiers. I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone who is looking to improve the air quality of their residence, no matter what the circumstances are. Easy to use, lightweight, takes up hardly any room and very little noise. You get what you pay for and with this product, you get more than you pay for!
Comments about Alen A350 Air Purifier:
I purchased the Alen A350 Air Purifier a couple of months ago and it has made quite a difference in my allergies and quality of sleep. I first considered buying an air purifier when I had trouble falling asleep because I would be sneezing incessantly when I needed to be nodding off. After doing a ton of research, I learned that a quality purifier is not cheap and instead of going with a top of the line purifer, I went with the mid-grade Alen A350.
It took a few weeks to breathe a noticeable difference but it was well worth it. I fall asleep quickly and don't wake up sneezing with red eyes; this is quite a relief since I was on claritin during the day and benadryl at nighttime. This is a great piece of ecquipment but it also has its downsides. At the highest level, which needs to be used to get the air clean, it is loud. Don't plan on using the highest setting while you are asleep, otherwise it is like sleeping in a wind tunnel. It is very powerful at the highest setting, but one can use the high setting with the automatic shutoff during the day when no one is using the room. It can still be used at its medium setting (2 out of 4 with 4 being the highest setting) when you are in the room and the sound it makes is hardly noticeable.
After around of months worth of use, I haven't really had to use the purifier since the air is still really clean and hasn't affected my sleep. If you have allergies and want a better nights sleep, this is a worthwhile investment.
Comments about Alen A350 Air Purifier:
My name is Juan Campos and I recently purchased the Alen A350 air purifier. My wife has suffered from asthma her entire life. We recently had a baby and decided that we should invest in an air purifier. Since we live in an agricultural area of California, there is a lot of pollutants and dust in our home.
After much research, we narrowed our choices to the Blueair and Alen models of air purifiers. Since the Alen model is about half the price and rated higher by some websites, we decided to buy one and try it out. In the past two weeks, we have noticed a reduction in dust in our home. I have also noticed that our daughter is not sneezing as much.
I failed to mention that we also have an 85 pound German Shepherd dog that stays indoors much of the time. This was also a reason to buy an air purifier. Since he is our original baby, there was no way he was to be put outside because of our daughter. I also seem to sleep better at night and wake up more refreshed in the morning.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone trying to buy an air purifier for a reasonable price.

Some Comparisons Between Turkey and OECD Countries: Productivity, Education and Taxation, 1960-2000
AbstractDuring the development process, financing the budget expenditures is very important issue. In this process, iIt is important to increase government revenue without damaging private income and consumption. We propose that an increase in taxes will be convenient for Turkish economy, particularly if it contributes to a better distribution between the tax burden of capital and labour. We will make international comparisons of tax burden and public expenditure of Turkey with developed countries, such as United States, Britain and France and Spain, Greece, Ireland, Portugal.

lunch between SFO and Napa
I need a reasonable place for lunch en route from SFO to St. Helena--Closer to SFO would be better
re: rainmarin
Also which routing, over the Golden Gate or Bay Bridge?
If you like Middle Eastern, there is a small (very small as of five years ago when I lived there), but excellent place just off of 101 in SF (which is on your route), called Truly Mediterranean. I'm sure it's been discussed on this board.
Truly Mediterranean
3109 16th St. San Francisco, CA 94103
(at Valencia St.)
OK, given the Bay Bridge route, I'd get over the Bay Bridge to get that out of the way and then consider lunch in Berkeley which has some outstanding restaurants ... what type of food are you in the mood for and what day of the week? Some places are closed Monday or have odd schedules or are mobbed on certain days of the week.
Taking the University or Gillman exits can put you right at the doorstep of some great restaurants, so what is your interest food-wise and what type of atmosphere?
I would go to Hong Kong Flower Lounge for dim sum. Its one of my favorite dim sum places in the Bay Area and it doesn't get much closer to SFO
51 Millbrae Ave, Millbrae, California 94030
Good day o the week. Yeah, eat AFTER crossing the bridge. Around 3:30 it can start to get backed, though usually not horrid until 5.
People might hate me for this, but I'd say take the Gillman Exit and go to T-Rex. They have a great burger, they are open all afternoon, the parking is SUPER easy and are starting to hit their stride for the rest of their menu items.
It is JUST before San Pablo Avenue. You will see a Walgreens across the street.
San Pablo at Gilman will also take you to Cafe Fanny which is Alice Waters breakfast/lunch spot. Nice sandwiches, not so much for ambiance ... the only thing to skip is the ice cream ... really, skip the ice cream. Next door is Acme Bread which is the Bay Area's top bread shop.
The other option off of Gillman is to take a right on Fourth Street where there are some good places like Betty's Ocean View, Cafe Rouge and Tacubaya. Plenty of parking.
Sketch Ice Cream is also on that block and highly reccommended.
I agree 100%. I recently returned from Dallas on a Friday and landed at OAK airport around 2:00 pm and the traffic was horrible heading north through Berkeley.
I just don't see you being able to avoid traffic. If you hold off eating until you are north part of Berkeley it might be going on 3:30-4:00 before you eat.
You might consider getting off 101 as you are heading towards the Bay Bridge and just hit La Taqueria in the Mission.
POTRERO AVENUE exit off 101 turns into CESAR CHAVEZ, turn right on MISSION ST: 2889 MISSION ST
re: Scott M
Bad time to be driving. 101 will be backed up through Marin County too. The important part is to get over the Bay Bridge as early as possible, so I would recommend against stopping in the Mission and keep going to the East Bay.
Cafe Fanny closes at 3pm.
If you can get there before closing, I'd get a couple sandwiches and desserts (not the ice cream!) to go and eat it in the car to stay ahead of traffic. Or Vik's for chaat to go. Better to get to your lodgings in the Valley to chill out before dinner then nto spend it steaming on the highway wondering if you'll ever get to Napa.
If you wanna' get over the two bridges and beat the traffic and get most of the way to Napa, you could stop at Parry's in American Canyon. Nothing fancy - NY-style pizza by the (big) slice, stromboli, grinders and basic pasta dishes - but it is tasty and you'd be pretty much on Hwy 29 already with just a 15 or so minute drive into Napa from there.
Just look for the big yellow barn on the right as you head north on Hwy 29 and reach American Canyon Road.
re: Robert Lauriston
Of all the posts I've read so far, I second this recommendation.
I would grab a light snack at the airport Starbucks and then go straight to Dean and Delucca in St.Helena for a great sandwich that you can take to a near by winery and sit outside and enjoy a good sandwich and a cab.
If you want someplace faster than a sit-down restaurant, you might want to check out Darby Dan's. Its just north of the airport and the thing to get on Friday's is the 1/2 and 1/2 (half shrimp salad & half crab salad sandwich).
This place is a favorite "to the airport" stop for many a hound 'cause their sandwiches make great airport / airplane food.
If you do a search for "Darby Dan" or "South San Francisco", you'll find numerous posts on DD & other SSF lunch favorites.
Darby Dan Sandwich Co. [Peninsula]
733 North Airport Blvd
South San Francisco
I agree with others that it's best to get across the Bay Bridge ASAP and avoid potentially dreadful traffic. Definitely grab lunch in Berkeley, but I'd make it a quick stop because you want to right get back on the road because both Richmond and Vallejo bridge traffic builds up early.
4th St is ideal because it's right off the freeway. Just take the University Ave exit, veer right on the fork on the exit (there's a sign that says 4th st) and you're there. For fast, good food to-go you could get a house made mortadella sandwich at the Cafe Rouge butcher counter ($5, in the back of the restaurant) or a bento box at O Chame ($17, open until 3, call ahead because they sell out.) Grab a cookie Sketch Ice Cream and you'll be back on the road with delicious chow after just a 10 minute detour.
I'm surprised that haven't moved this discussion to the new TRAFFIC board. I'd go to House of Soul in Vallejo for real (cast iron pan)fried chicken. Google it, but it is the Georgia Street exit off Hwy 80.
Take BART from SFO, get off at Embarcadero Station and walk about two blocks down to the Ferry Building. Feast on some oysters at Hog Island, and maybe a taco or Albodingas soup at Mijita. Then stop in at Acme for some bread, Cowgirl creamery for some cheese, and the wine store for a bottle of vino. Pack that up, and eat it while you take the Baylink ferry to Vallejo, and head up to Napa from there. There's an enterprise rent a car outlet not too far from the Vallejo ferry terminal, and others nearby as well. Ferry takes an hour ... no matter how much traffic there is through Berkeley.

Lately there has been a lot of buzz about the comet Elenin. The comet is set to come close to earth on October 16th of this year and many believe this will have atrocious affects on the planet.

We won't be killed by a giant asteroid in 2036.
Among the benefits of avoiding Apophis is that my beloved Chicago Cubs will have more time to win a World Series. And Heaven knows they will need it.
What would happen if an meteor or asteroid the size of ______________, made of ______________, hit Earth at a speed of ______________?
There's a web app for that. Check out Purdue's Impact: Earth!
Have fun destroying the planet!!! (And learning about asteroid impacts of various sizes and energies, of course)
Well, this will give you nightmares.
Jupiter may have "saved Earth from a devastating cosmic collision" on Monday when it took a hit from what may have been a massive asteroid, resulting in a 100-mile-wide fireball large enough to be caught on film from Earth.
This is the third time since 2009 observers have seen an impact flash on Jupiter's surface, and some astronomers think the big planet's gravitational pull serves as a sort of "cosmic shield" for the inner rings of planets — including Earth — "sweeping up incoming objects that would have a deadlier effect" if they were to crash into us. A few scientists think that without Jupiter's protection, life on Earth wouldn't have been able to develop.
Watch the collision on Jupiter
Thanks for taking one for the team, Jupiter. Oh, and we really need to build a defense mechanism against asteroids.
The Ultimate Sacrifice
Killer asteroids were a regular occurrence in the early days of Earth
What does an awesome slow-motion video of a ball falling into sand have to do with any of that? BOOM. That's what.
Around 65 million years ago, an asteroid about six miles across struck the Earth, incinerating the local atmosphere and leading to mass extinction of the dinosaurs. New research from NASA geologists suggests that between 1.8 and 3.8 billion years ago, perhaps seventy such impacts occurred.
In the early solar system, the gas giant planets like Jupiter and Neptune hadn't quite settled into their homes at the outer reaches of our planetary neighborhood. Their irregular orbits sent enormous hunks of debris hurtling toward young Earth (an era called the Late Heavy Bombardment). If you were an early single-celled organism on Earth, just chillin in your mineral pool, minding your own prokaryotic business, life would have been very eventful, and destructive.
By locating the debris patterns in deep rock that occur with impacts such as these, followed by plugging them into an advanced computer model, these researchers guess that "dino-killer" type asteroids may have been a regular event.
I wonder how they might have shaped early evolution? Thank goodness the solar system has settled down a bit since then.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/220977Before consulting with an attorney, first find out if the franchisor is willing to negotiate the contract. If they are not, which is fairly typical with the good ones, then tell the attorney not to waste their time and your money coming up with negotiation points and strategies - it's basically an up or down decision. You should also make sure to consult with an attorney that is already familiar with franchise agreements - you don't want to have to pay for their time while they are trying to figure out what is standard and what is not in a franchise agreement.

Access "How much SharePoint data can you risk losing?"
This article is part of the September 2009 issue of Creating an InfoPath development strategy
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server(MOSS) 2007 and SQL Server are intricately connected with SQL Server as the back-end data repository for MOSS 2007.SharePoint administrators sometimes have difficulty understanding this relationship, which can prevent them from having a full appreciation for it. One of the main challenges faced by SharePoint administrators when managing a SharePoint infrastructure is figuring out how the SQL Server recovery models affect their ability tocut data loss during database recovery operations. Each recovery model handles recovery a little differently. Specifically, the models differ in how they manage logging, which governs whether or not a SharePoint database can be recovered to the point of failure. Options for SQL server recovery models The three recovery models associated with a SharePoint database in SQL Server are: Full Simple Bulk-logged Full recovery model This approach captures and logs every database transaction, which makes it possible for administrators to restore a SharePoint database to an arbitrary point in time. ...

When I was in 7th grade I slept over my friend "Tracy's" house. We played truth or dare and we dared each other to do strip routines. She went first. She was very…I don't know what she was watching on TV, but she did her thing and it was great. She could've been a professional. Which is gross to say, because we were in 7th grade. She danced around to music and ended, you know… Then she said, as she put her clothes back on, "Your turn!" I had never stripped. I was nervous.
Being a musical theatre geek, the only thing I thought of when I heard strip routine is the big routine Louise does in the musical Gypsy. Which, of course, I knew by heart, because, as I previously stated, I was a musical theatre geek. So I did that! I stripped off invisible gloves and my invisible detachable shoulder straps. I stripped off the towel I was pretending was a feather boa. I also pretended to be those annoying flower girls up top.
I did the entire monologue and song. The whole thing was 5 minutes long and I just ended in bra and underwear because that's what Louise does. I looked to "Tracy" thinking she'd be impressed because it was, like, a real routine. Instead, "Tracy" had this look of confusion on her face. "That's a real stripper routine," I told her. She asked if I knew another routine. So I started to do Rose's Turn from Gypsy.
Now, she didn't stop me during the angry "I thought you did it for me, Mama" monologue. She must have thought it was going to go somewhere sexy. She stopped me on the lyric "Some people can't even give it away" told me to forget it, and we spent the rest of the time watching "My Father the Hero" because it was her favorite movie. And if I remember the movie correctly it's about a girl who convinces her dad to pretend to be her boyfriend while on vacation, to make another dude jealous.
Thinking back…I think my friend may have been slightly messed up.

"Ashley promised Ice Cream parties everyday. Jeremy promised that he'd get us Fridays off. Brittany twirled around her straight, perfect blonde hair and said instead of teachers, we would be paid for going to school. Then it was my turn to give a speech."
One day, when I was in fourth grade, my teacher Mrs. Capurro asked the class, "Who would like to run for class representatives for student council?" It would be decided through a voting process. Everyone in the class had to vote for two people. The top two votes would be the representatives and the person that came in third place would become the alternate.
Only the most popular people were nominated (Mike, Adam, Ashley, Jeremy and Brittany). Winning meant that you were the most popular, but I don't think anyone else in my class realized that. I wanted to be popular. I raised my hand to throw my name into the race. Each one of us had to give a speech. It was my first look at politics.
Mike promised everyday would be pizza day. Adam promised that the water fountains would become soda fountains. Ashley promised Ice Cream parties everyday. Jeremy promised that he'd get us Fridays off. Brittany twirled around her straight, perfect blonde hair and said instead of teachers, we would be paid for going to school. Then it was my turn to give a speech. I came up with a sure winning speech.
"Hello. My name is Stephanie Streisand. I can't promise to do any of the things my opponents have promised because I am not popular so I wouldn't know how to go about making those things happen. Most of you don't like me, but remember this is NOT a popularity contest. You are supposed to vote for who would do the best job. We all know Adam would do the best job, but you have to vote for two people. So remember, vote for Adam and then with your second vote, vote for me. Stephanie Streisand. Thank you."
I walked back to my seat knowing I nailed it! My friend Aisha turned to me and whispered, "I'm voting for you!"
Some one had once told me that it was bad form/bad luck to vote for yourself. So I voted for Adam and Brittany, because Brittany was the prettiest.
Once the ballots were in, Mrs. Capurro started counting the ballots. All the nominees running were written on the board. For every vote, Mrs. Capurro put a tally next to their name as she said their name, "Vote for Adam. Vote for Mike. Vote for Brittany" etc. In the end, the results were Ashley - 3, Jeremy - 6, Mike - 8, Brittany 11, Adam - 12 and Stephanie Streisand - 0.
ZERO? Zero votes??? I was legitimately shocked. I turned to Aisha. She shrugged and said, "I'm sorry. Brittany's just so pretty."
The next year, in fifth grade, when voting for class representatives came up I was prepared. During recess, I sought out any girls in my class that were thinking of running and I told them that class representatives get extra homework. So when the teacher asked, later that day, "who would like to run?" I was the only girl who raised my hand.
My speech went, "Hello. My name is Stephanie Streisand and I am the only girl running. So vote for me because girls rule!!!" I got in third place. Alternate!
At the first student council meeting, I quickly realized that my lie was true; being a class representative DID actually mean more homework. I quit a week later, but I'll never forget the lesson I learned. If you are the only girl, you are the most popular girl.

Story Telling Project #1 of more. Title - Clueless
"I remember looking at myself in the mirror in this toddler dress and jeans, with my orangey-brownish skin and thinking to myself, 'Stephanie, today is the day it's all going to change!'"
"I remember looking at myself in the mirror in this toddler dress and jeans, with my orangey-brownish skin and thinking to myself, 'Stephanie, today is the day it's all going to change!'"
I wasn't that popular growing up. I was a big loser. I tried soooo hard to fit in, but I never could because I always had a huge knot in the back of my hair, my lips were bigger than my face and during the morning announcements everyday I sang out "The Star Spangled Banner" louder and with more passion than anyone in history.
I remember when Clueless came out in theaters. My mom and I saw it together. I was too young to realize it was making fun of these types of people. I took it at total face value. I left the theater glorifying these characters like some people do after seeing Star Wars for the first time, except the movie was Clueless. I wanted to be them! I wanted to be popular!
The next morning I looked for the perfect outfit that would make me totally popular. I found a dress I wore when I was three-years-old and somehow got into it. It looked like an extremely short baby-tee with ruffles coming out the bottom. But all that was going through my head was, "It was yellow and black, just like Cher's outfit at the beginning of the movie!"
Then it was time to put on some make up. All I had was one of those cover-up sticks. It was many shades darker than my skin. I drew it on all over my face. And so it wouldn't be obvious that it was just make-up I also put it all over my neck and hands.
I remember looking at myself in the mirror in this toddler dress and jeans, with my orangey-brownish skin and thinking to myself, "Stephanie, today is the day it's all going to change!"
When I got on the bus everyone stared at me. I was so confident. I thought to myself, "It's working! I'm popular!"
When I got into class, my teacher asked me why I was dressed the way I was. I told him, "This is the way I always dress. You just never noticed before."
At lunch, Joshua Braunstein, the guy I had a crush on, asked me, "Why do you look so different?" I said in a soap opera-like style, "Because I'm popular now!" And he responded, "Oh. Okay."
It wasn't until halfway through the day that one of the mean girls that I so wanted to be my friend, broke my false reality and told me that everyone was making fun of me because my skin looked like I put orangey-grease all over it and that they knew my shirt was a tiny dress. I looked around the room. Aside from seeing every kid looking at me with a smirk on their face, I also noticed orangey marks all over the classroom that must have rubbed off my "make-upped" hands throughout the day! It was everywhere; on the big map, text books, desks, papers, doors, walls, Joshua Braunstein's shirt… I ran to the bathroom and tried to wash the orange off my face, but at that point it wouldn't come off. It had dried!
I spent the rest of the day hanging out in the bathroom, but I have still never felt more popular than I did the first half of that day at school. I was totally clueless.

History of Hyrule: #HyruleHistora in English
Someone got a response from Nintendo of America's customer service about Hyrule Historia. It's kind of whatever. I don't think it means much and I'd rather take it as a challenge to get it through that we really want this book in English! We do, right? Let's go for it!
First, Like and Reblog…
The scene with Hylia crying over Link's dead body seems pretty touching. She talks about Link being the true master of the Master Sword (pun not intended), and how she admires his love for the land of Hylia, which she shares.
Then she states that his soul will live forever, and will meet again in a new life. Although next time she won't be a goddess anymore, but a mere mortal.

Joseph Ettedgui, R.I.P.
The obituaries have already distilled the career to its essence. Joseph Ettedgui, who died yesterday at the age of 74, transformed the international fashion landscape. But what makes his story truly unique was that the grandiosity of such an achievement was underpinned by a nature so humble and unassuming it was easy to forget that the little guy in the corner with the thick French accent, the owlish glasses, the fluff of hair, and the stubble was actually the most powerful man in the room. Although the big cigar might have been a giveaway.
One epochal day in 1972, the little guy was stacking striped sweaters in the window of his hairdressing salon on King's Road when Michael Roberts noticed him. Then fashion editor of The Sunday Times, Roberts liked the sweaters, used them in a shoot that appeared (obviously) on a Sunday. By Monday afternoon, the entire stock had sold out. And thus was Joseph Ettedgui launched on a Britain that had no idea its appetite for adventurously minimal European style was about to be stimulated. As much as what he sold (those striped sweaters were by Kenzo—he would also introduce everyone from Azzedine Alaïa to Helmut Lang to Martin Margiela to local aficionados), it was the way Joseph sold it, in high-tech, chrome-and-glass stores that had the streamlined ambience of an Art Deco cruise ship. The look may be a retail cliché now, but Joseph pioneered it, as he did the starchitect collaboration (Norman Foster designed his first Sloane Street outlet in 1979) and the in-store café. "He made you feel enthusiastic about fashion," says Roberts, who remembers Joseph driving around late at night in his Rolls-Royce checking out the window displays in rival stores. "This huge car would come down the street, looking like a runaway Rolls with no one at the wheel. Then you'd see the top of his head and the puff of cigar smoke."
Roberts went on to create memorable ad campaigns for Joseph. What he misses most is the complete freedom he was given, as though Joseph were the most visionary patron. "It was a Medici kind of thing to be given that kind of treatment," he says. "It never happens anymore." Like the best patrons, Joseph was an ardent champion of the new and the young. And he had a fruitful kinship with designers that others found tricky to work with, Alaïa in particular. Katharine Hamnett looks back on "a fantastic working relationship," which began when Joseph rescued her from penury after a French company she was working for left her high and dry with a bagful of samples. He bought the lot on a sale-and-return basis. "And that was the beginning of one of the happiest times in my career," Hamnett says. "He enabled things, he trusted his instincts, he loved what he did—and he was very good at it."

Watch Me Lose Weight Faster Than You
Metabolism. What is it? Does it apply the same for everyone? I don't know.
Weight loss? Who truly can define how to do it the "right way?" No one.
Everyone has theories, advice, exercise regimens, dietary plans and the rest … but there isn't one person who can flat out say: This is the rule for losing weight quickly (and safely): ________________. That's because everyone is different. You have to get to know your body. Study it, take pictures of yourself every week, try different diets. But like I said, everyone responds to certain workouts and diets differently.
Why do I know this? Because there are thousands of workout plans, tens of thousands of "diets," and even more variations of the two of those put together. And results for two separate people are never the same.
I don't care about any of those plans. Sure, I've sworn by P90X (and P90X2) and discussed how it helped me lose my college weight (of 4+ years) in a matter of 30 days. I think it's put together extremely well. But in no way, shape or form is it a science. Not everyone can phase carbohydrates out of their life so easily.
Why do I bring all of this up? Because I personally know how to lose weight for me. And I know how to lose it extremely quickly without feeling light-headed, tired or famished throughout the process. Let me reiterate: I know how to lose weight quickly for me.
For the past month, I've eaten like (earmuffs) sh … crap.
Don't get me wrong, the food tasted far from it. Traveling to two cities known for their delicious meals (Cape Cod/Memphis)? I wasn't going to pretend like I had self control. No part of me was going to order "a cobb salad with no cheese, please" and then pretend like I wasn't crying inside watching other people suck down pork ribs like it was their last meal before they headed to the electric chair. I ate without guilt because I knew as soon as I flew back to Florida, I could lose the weight in a matter of days.
Yesterday, Sunday morning (July 22, 2012), started the 23-pound purge. That sounds weird. What I'm saying is, I'm going to lose 23 pounds. My goal? Shed it by next Friday (Aug. 3, 2012). That's 13 days (or 12 nights, if you're picky like that).
Let's write it in an alternative story format, shall we?
- Day 0: 183.4 pounds
- Day 13: ________ pounds (Goal: 160.4)
Let me be perfectly clear. I will not — by any means — be fasting, starving myself or skipping meals. I will eat 6 meals per day, including eggs, turkey bacon, greek yogurt, chicken breasts, blueberries, turkey burgers, tomato, wild Alaskan salmon, asparagus, sweet potato soup and of course (my favorite), protein shakes. And a lot of other stuff, too. Those are just examples. Oh, and don't forget a gallon of water every day.
I'll be going to the bathroom more than a drug addict.
Some people can lose weight extremely quickly while for others, it takes time. When I shock my system the way I do, it's simple for me to lose weight. A lot of women might say, "Men can lose shed pounds without even trying."
Look, I'm not trying to prove anything here. I'm not a doctor, a nutritionist, a personal trainer or anything close to it. I'm a 25-year-old "kid" (essentially) who enjoys peaks and valleys in his life when it comes to dieting, or nutrition. I love exercising as often as possible, because the feeling after a work out is the greatest in the world. That's all it is.
So, for the next 13 days, I'll weigh myself and keep up with my progress. If not for those reading this, then for myself as a log of what the small journey was like.
So, 24 hours in, I now weigh myself (always in the morning upon waking up and after using the bathroom):
Current weight: 179.6 pounds
I'm down from 183.4 to 179.6 in 24 hours. Incredible how much weight your body holds after carb-heavy meals. Now that I'm starting to get rid of them, the pounds begin to fall off.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's weigh in and updates.
*All photos are my own, taken of meals I devoured in the past month.

A hot legislative issue in Mississippi right now is abortion.
Opponents are pushing for another ballot initiative that would define life as beginning at conception.
"Personhood Mississippi" has filed paperwork with the Secretary of State's Office saying they intend to launch a new initiative.
Sponsors would have one year to gather 90,000 signatures to get the measure on the ballot.
That means the earliest likely date for a vote would be in November 2015.
A group called "Parents Against Personhood" says defining life as beginning at fertilization could block in-vitro fertilization by granting legal rights to embryos.

James Turrell is pretty hard to sum up. The most succinct definition would be a 'sculpter of light'. In his own words, he takes light and 'makes it seem material'. Which sounds actually rather ordinary, far too ordinary considering this work. He's no jumped up art student with an exhibition on Brick Lane. In 1977 he bought a 400,000 year old two mile wide extinct volcano in the Arizona dessert, and borred tunnels into the side creating a unique skyspace for exploration and experience of uniquely framed celestial activity. it's still undergoing work, and is due to be opened to the public in 2011.
Turrell has a range of other installations, on a smaller scale. One which is said to use a flood of light to re create the conditions that mountaineers often report during a whiteout, whereby they're unable to tell wether it is their eyes seeing, or their mind.
'We have learned to see a certain way. My work is about being gently reminded that this may not be the full way of seeing. Some of my pieces exist as a reminder that we do not have all the answers.'
Turrell has an upcoming exhibition at the Gagosian, London in October, although no mention of it yet on their site, but keep your eyes peeled for dates, one not to miss.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's signature proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy to pay for universal prekindergarten appears to be on life support.
It is blocked by state lawmakers and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who oppose such a tax in an election year.
That hasn't stopped de Blasio from doggedly forging ahead anyway.
Some observers say de Blasio has boxed himself into a corner and would have trouble claiming a political victory if pre-K is funded by any other means.
But others think his push appeals to his liberal base. And if he keeps pushing for the tax, he could pressure Cuomo into increasing the amount of money he sends to the state.

US must seize opportunity to support Palestinian non-violence
WASHINGTON, DC – Khader Adnan spent 66 days on hunger strike, a symbolic, self-denying act of non-violent resistance to Israel's practice of "administrative detention" or imprisonment without charge. His story quickly became well known and began to inspire other Palestinian political prisoners to follow his non-violent lead.
But Adnan's is merely the latest episode in a growing wave of Palestinian non-violent resistance. While Palestinian non-violence has been a historic part of the struggle for Palestinian rights, armed struggle has been a component of resistance that often dominated the headlines.
Today things are changing significantly. More than ever, polling data shows, Palestinians are supporting non-violent resistance. A series of polls of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza which included a question on non-violence reveals an undeniable trend in the past 18 months. In June of 2010, for example 51 per cent of Palestinians polled responded that non-violent resistance was a preferred alternative to stalled negotiations. In the most recent poll conducted at the end of 2011, that number jumped to over 61 per cent.(...more)

An Event Apart Atlanta 2011
YOU FIND ME ENSCONCED in the fabulous Buckhead, Atlanta Intercontinental Hotel, preparing to unleash An Event Apart Atlanta 2011, three days of design, code, and content strategy for people who make websites. Eric Meyer and I co-founded our traveling web conference in December, 2005; in 2006 we chose Atlanta for our second event, and it was the worst show we've ever done. We hosted at Turner Field, not realizing that half the audience would be forced to crane their necks around pillars if they wanted to see our speakers or the screen on which slides were projected.
Also not realizing that Turner Field's promised contractual ability to deliver Wi-Fi was more theoretical than factual: the venue's A/V guy spent the entire show trying to get an internet connection going. You could watch audience members twitchily check their laptops for email every fourteen seconds, then make the "no internet" face that is not unlike the face addicts make when the crack dealer is late, then check their laptops again.
The food was good, our speakers (including local hero Todd Dominey) had wise lessons to impart, and most attendees had a pretty good time, but Eric and I still shudder to remember everything that went wrong with that gig.
Not to jinx anything, but times have changed. We are now a major three-day event, thanks to a kick-ass staff and the wonderful community that has made this show its home. We thank you from the bottoms of our big grateful hearts.
I will see several hundred of you for the next three days. Those not attending may follow along:

2010: The Year in Web Standards
WHAT A YEAR 2010 has been. It was the year HTML5 and CSS3 broke wide; the year the iPad, iPhone, and Android led designers down the contradictory paths of proprietary application design and standards-based mobile web application design—in both cases focused on user needs, simplicity, and new ways of interacting thanks to small screens and touch-sensitive surfaces.
It was the third year in a row that everyone was talking about content strategy and designers refused to "just comp something up" without first conducting research and developing a user experience strategy.
Even outside the newest, best browsers, things were better than ever. Modernizr and eCSStender brought advanced selectors and @font-face to archaic browsers (not to mention HTML5 and SVG, in the case of Modernizr). Tim Murtaugh and Mike Pick's HTML5 Reset and Paul Irish's HTML5 Boilerplate gave us clean starting points for HTML5- and CSS3-powered sites.
Web fonts were everywhere—from the W3C to small personal and large commercial websites—thanks to pioneering syntax constructions by Paul Irish and Richard Fink, fine open-source products like the Font Squirrel @Font-Face Generator,
open-source liberal font licensing like FontSpring's, and terrific service platforms led by Typekit and including Fontdeck, Webtype, Typotheque, and Kernest.
Print continued its move to networked screens. iPhone found a worthy adversary in Android. Webkit was ubiquitous.
Insights into the new spirit of web design, from a wide variety of extremely smart people, can be seen and heard on The Big Web Show, which Dan Benjamin and I started this year (and which won Video Podcast of the Year in the 2010 .net Awards), on Dan's other shows on the 5by5 network, on the Workers of the Web podcast by Alan Houser and Eric Anderson, and of course in A List Apart for people who make websites.
Zeldman.com: The Year in Review
A few things I wrote here at zeldman.com this year (some related to web standards and design, some not) may be worth reviewing:
- iPad as the New Flash 17 October 2010
- Masturbatory novelty is not a business strategy.
- Flash, iPad, and Standards 1 February 2010
- Lack of Flash in the iPad (and before that, in the iPhone) is a win for accessible, standards-based design. Not because Flash is bad, but because the increasing popularity of devices that don't support Flash is going to force recalcitrant web developers to build the semantic HTML layer first.
- An InDesign for HTML and CSS? 5 July 2010
- while our current tools can certainly stand improvement, no company will ever create "the modern day equivalent of Illustrator and PageMaker for CSS, HTML5 and JavaScript." The assumption that a such thing is possible suggests a lack of understanding.
- Stop Chasing Followers 21 April 2010
- The web is not a game of "eyeballs." Never has been, never will be. Influence matters, numbers don't.
- Crowdsourcing Dickens 23 March 2010
- Like it says.
- My Love/Hate Affair with Typekit 22 March 2010
- Like it says.
- You Cannot Copyright A Tweet 25 February 2010
- Like it says.
- Free Advice: Show Up Early 5 February 2010
- Love means never having to say you're sorry, but client services means apologizing every five minutes. Give yourself one less thing to be sorry for. Take some free advice. Show up often, and show up early.
Outside Reading
A few things I wrote elsewhere might repay your interest as well:
- The Future of Web Standards 26 September, for .net Magazine
- Cheap, complex devices such as the iPhone and the Droid have come along at precisely the moment when HTML5, CSS3 and web fonts are ready for action; when standards-based web development is no longer relegated to the fringe; and when web designers, no longer content to merely decorate screens, are crafting provocative, multi-platform experiences. Is this the dawn of a new web?
- Style vs. Design written in 1999 and slightly revised in 2005, for Adobe
- When Style is a fetish, sites confuse visitors, hurting users and the companies that paid for the sites. When designers don't start by asking who will use the site, and what they will use it for, we get meaningless eye candy that gives beauty a bad name.
Happy New Year, all!

iPad as the new Flash
iPad. Never have so many embraced a great product for exactly the wrong reasons.
Too many designers and publishers see the iPad as an opportunity to do all the wrong things—things they once did in Flash—without the taint of Flash.
In the minds of many, the iPad is like Flash that pays. You can cram traditional publishing content into an overwrought, novelty Flash interface as The New York Times once did with its T magazine. You may win a design award but nobody will pay you for that content. Ah, but do the same thing on the iPad instead, and subscribers will pay—maybe not enough to save publishing, but enough to keep the content coming and at least some journalists, editors, and art directors employed.
It's hard to argue with money and jobs, and I wouldn't dream of doing so.
Alas, the early success of a few publications—publications so good they would doubtless survive with or without iPad—is creating a stampede that will not help most magazines and interfaces that will not please most readers.
Everything we've learned in the past decade about preferring open standards to proprietary platforms and user-focused interfaces to masturbatory ones is forgotten as designers and publishers once again scramble to create novelty interfaces no one but them cares about.
Luke Wroblewski's Touch Gesture Reference Guide gives designers plenty of ammunition to create dynamic user experiences that work on a wide variety of mobile phones and devices (including iPad) while these same sites can use traditional desktop browser effects like hover to offer equally rich experiences on non-touch-enabled browsers. Unless your organization's business model includes turning a profit by hiring redundant, competing teams, "Write once, publish everywhere" makes more economic sense than "Write once, publish to iPad. Write again, publish to Kindle. Write again, publish to some other device."
I'm not against the iPad. I love my iPad. It's great for storing and reading books, for browsing websites, for listening to music and watching films, for editing texts, presentations, and spreadsheets, for displaying family photos, and on and on. It's nearly all the stuff I love about my Mac plus a great ePub reader slipped into a little glass notebook I play like a Theremin.
I'm not against iPad apps. Twitterific for iPad is by far the best way to use Twitter. After all, Twitter is really an internet service, not a website; Twitter's own site, while leaps ahead of where it used to be, is hardly the most useful or delightful way to access its service. Gowalla for iPad is my constant companion. I dread the idea of traveling without it. And there are plenty of other great iPad apps I love, from Bloom, an "endless music machine" by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers, to Articles, which turns Wikipedia into an elegant reading experience, to Mellotronics for iPad, an uncannily accurate Mellotron simulator packed with 13 authentic voices—"the same production tapes featured on Strawberry Fields Forever" and other classic tracks (not to mention tracks by nouveau retro bands like Eels).
There are apps that need to be apps, demand to be apps, and I admire and learn from them like every other designer who's alive at this moment.
I'm just not sold on what the magazines are doing. Masturbatory novelty is not a business strategy.

My other iPad is a Kindle
The new Kindle has a lot going for it. It's inexpensive compared to a full-featured tablet computer like the iPad; you can slip it in your back pocket, where it's more comfortable than an old-style paperback; and it includes a Webkit browser. This last point is where folks like us start to give a hoot, whether we're fans of epub reading or not.
The flavor of Kindle's browser concerns us because it affords us the ability to optimize the mobile viewing experience with a single line of markup. You can see this in action in the photo at the head of this article (published and discussed on Flickr).
I made no tweaks for Kindle per se; the Kindle is simply responding to a line of markup I've been putting into my web pages since 2007—namely, the viewport meta element, which controls the width of the viewport, thus enabling mobile devices with a limited number of pixels to focus all available pixels on your site's core content (instead of, for instance, wasting part of the small screen on a background color, image, or gradient). The technique is as simple as web design gets:
meta name="viewport" content="width=770"
(Obviously, the value of "width" should be adjusted to match your site's layout.)
I learned this little trick from Craig Hockenberry's Put Your Content in My Pocket (A List Apart, August 28, 2007), which I naturally recommend to any designer who hasn't seen it.

Should Publishers Attend SXSW?
In Should Publishers Attend SXSW?, Lorraine Shanley of Publishing Trends answers her own question this way:
Yes, because sxsw offers a chance to see options for the future—amazing gaming, interactive software, inventive marketing, creative content development and deployment. But as Will Schwalbe … said, "If publishers come to sxsw to create their own sessions track, they'll learn nothing. If they come to attend panels on subjects about which they know nothing, they'll learn an enormous amount."
The PDF version of the April issue includes additional SXSW coverage (with nice things said about our panel and A Book Apart), data on how different generations find books, search engine conversion strategies, and more.

Buerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans) is one of many types of vasculitis. This is inflammation that involves your blood vessels. Buerger's disease causes a tightening, or a blockage, of the blood vessels in your feet and hands. When blood doesn't flow well to your hands and feet, you may experience pain, especially during activity, and tissue damage. In the most extreme cases, sores (ulcers) appear on your fingers and toes. They can become infected and cause gangrene. In a small number of people, Buerger's disease reduces blood flow to the heart, belly, or brain.
Symptoms of Buerger's disease include:
Pain in your lower legs or feet when walking
Pain in your hands or forearms
Blood clots
Ulcers on your toes and fingers
Raynaud's syndrome, a narrowing of blood vessels in your hands and sometimes your toes
People at the greatest risk for Buerger's disease are those who are heavy smokers. Men of Asian or Eastern European descent who are between ages 20 and 40 seem to be especially vulnerable.
To make a diagnosis, your physician will consider:
Your overall health and medical history
Your description of symptoms
Lifestyle choices, such as whether you smoke
A physical exam
Blood tests
Imaging tests to assess tissue damage
Treatment recommendations may depend on how far your disease has progressed. Options include:
Stopping all smoking and other forms of tobacco use
Having surgery to bring blood to the affected tissues (people who have smoked for more than 20 years are more likely to need surgery)
Complications are problems caused by your condition. Possible complications from Buerger's disease include:
Changes in the way you walk or move due to pain
Tissue damage or tissue death
You can prevent Buerger's disease by not smoking.
Talk to your doctor if you have:
Pain in your lower legs, feet, hands, or forearms that continues to get worse
Sores on your hands or feet that do not heal
Signs of infection in the affected areas
Follow your doctor's recommendations for taking care of yourself. The best way to stop or slow Buerger's disease is to stop using tobacco completely. Talk with your doctor if you need help with a tobacco cessation plan.

Think it's impossible to find that perfect girl; long hair, beautiful body AND a love for video games? Well you're mistaken. Increasingly women are representing more and more of the gaming population, meaning your odds of snagging a gamer girl might just be possible.
But is it that easy? The stereotype of a gamer is a fat, lazy teen who is the inverse of charming in the looks department. It would be hard to imagine finding your significant other in a pool of people fitting this description. The truth is, as gaming becomes more applicable to the public, more "regular" people who happen to be gamers will appear.
I personally am at complete odds with the perceived "normal" gamer. I'm a girl for starters and not an ugly one (if I do say so myself ). I work and go to school and am certainly not lazy…all the time anyway. And I'm not a teenager though pretty close in age. That is the future ladies and gentlemen. Here are a few statistics that might just shatter how you think about gaming in 2012.
1. Sixty-five percent of American households play computer or video games. Considering there are approximately 114,825,428 households as of 2010, that's a huge number of American gamers.
2. The average game player is 35 years old and has been playing games for 13 years. This statistic crushes the idea that gamers are all hormonal high schoolers.
3. Forty percent of all game players are women. In fact, women over the age of 18 represent a significantly greater portion of the game-playing population (33 percent) than boys age 17 or younger (18 percent).
4. Growth – From 2003 to 2006, the entertainment software industry's annual growth rate exceeded 17 percent. Over the same period, the entire U.S. economy grew at a less than 4% rate. In tough times, gamers will game.
5. On average, nine games were sold every second of every day in 2007. Gaming is becoming a more popular and more mainstream hobby.
6. Of those who play games online, 56% are male and 44% are female.
7. The average adult woman plays games 7.4 hours per week. The average adult man plays 7.6 hours per week. Though males spend more time playing than do females, the gender/time gap has narrowed significantly. Whereas in 2003, males spent an average of 18 more minutes a day playing games than did their female counterparts. In 2004 they spent only six minutes more each day doing so. Females spend an average of two hours more per week playing games now then they did a year ago.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Worse than hiring mercenaries, as you call them, is the fact that many players are actually allowing others (higher-rated players) to play their toons for them in hopes of greater "success." This not only opens up the possibility of getting banned, as all methods of cheating do, but is also an extreme security risk, as one's account information becomes accessible by individuals other than the account's owner.
Also, as account sharing has proven in the past, even if you completely trust the individual you are sharing your information with, it is difficult to predict whether or not they have taken care to guard their system against potential keyloggers, etc.
All of this should be obvious information, but I think that at the start of a new Arena season, it is important to emphasize responsible playing yet again. =)

Well as you say, there's plenty of guild hosting services out there that provide forums and additional features such as raid scheduling.
The main difference between Twitter and other online communication is not speed or efficiency but that it is meant to be an open, public speaking place where you can listen to people without an invite or password. That conveys certain advantages for celebrities, micro-bloggers and anyone with another web service that they want to promote - where they want the readership to be as wide as possible. Twitter fans also claims "news" spreads faster on their network than on private networks as they are more "connected", which is debatable.
Anyway, I can't honestly see any of these advantages pertaining to WoW. It just looks like some enterprising individuals are just hoping to jump on the Twitter publicity bandwagon.
That said, it takes time, money, determination and organisation to setup your own business, so you have to give them kudos for that and wish them the best.

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
You can bet on Coral to support Macmillan.
We always want to find ways to reach new audiences and talk to them about cancer and Macmillan's services and support. So when Coral bookmakers came on board as partners earlier this year, we were delighted.
Coral has literally opened their doors to us by providing cancer information in all of its 1,800 stores across the UK and to its employees. With an 85% male customer base that come from a lower socio-economic group, Coral has helped us to provide lung cancer and prostate cancer information, to some of the hardest to reach people in the UK who tend to not proactively seek help.
In addition, generous Coral staff have raised a whopping £600,000 with some brilliant fundraising activities. Cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats, running marathons, sitting in baths of beans, leg waxing, bungee jumping and trading trousers for skirts for a 'Lads to Ladies' day. In addition staff have volunteered and raised thousands of pounds collecting money at racecourses across the UK.
Rachel Gascoigne, Account Manager at Macmillan said: 'Our partnership with Coral has enabled us to reach a whole new audience. We now have the ability to communicate and signpost more people to our services and support across the UK, thanks to Coral's support. This combined with their phenomenal fundraising efforts makes this a really powerful collaboration and we're proud to be working with such a fantastic partner.'
Coral have pledged to extend the partnership and continue supporting Macmillan until December 2013.
For further information on the partnership, contact contact Rachel Gascoigne on 01295 738925 or email firstname.lastname@example.com| or visit the Coral website|.
If you have any questions about Macmillan we would love to hear from you| .

The VFR1200F remains a good, bordering on great bike. Its quality and finish is peerless; its refinement, ergonomics and ease-of-use impeccable. And the cherry on the top is that unique-sounding and fabulously grunty, flexible and, yes, fast V4. But it's not stunning, hasn't 'moved the game on' like an all-new Honda V4 probably should have done and it does have ...

The 'DCT' bit of Honda's new VFR1200F stands for 'Ducal Clutch Transmission', Honda's name for it's all-new, clutchless, semi-automatic transmission system which is so different it warrants a review all its own, and so impressive and revolutionary it heralds the start of an all-new technical era.

The big news for the 2009 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade isn't its new, oval-shaped indicators, but its revolutionary electronically-controlled Combined ABS system. This makes the Honda Fireblade the world's first ever ABS-equipped superbike. This system takes none of the enjoyment out of riding this incredible superbike and it feels just the same to ride as a normal Blade, even on the ...

The Honda ST1300 Pan European is as accomplished a machine as you can buy. It does everything you ask of it and more.

Classic early superbike lines crash head-on with a practical top fairing and an inexpensive ABS option to make the Honda CB1300S a competent tourer-cum-commuter that's a pleasure to ride with above average handling, plenty of practical touches and a low seat height.
