The Alternative Medicines Comprehensive Database is a great research evidence based resource for medical professionals to use to help determine the benefit of various herbs, supplements, etc.
The link I provided below provides the treatment plan for food allergies.
I think it is great that you are working with a Registered Dietitian who can help with your course of treatment to improve your health. This person can determine when a referral is needed to another health professional (to rule out more serious conditions), as well as trialing food treatment options. You are working with a trained health profession; something that is not present with the Whole 30 approach.

I agree that Becky gives good advice, and very general advice. Of course people with specific medical problems should be under the care of a professional. It's unfortunate that someone has to point that out all the time. People should be intelligent enough to understand the difference between diagnosing a disease or a true allergy and exploring how food affects your body. The Whole 30 does not appear to me to suggest it can diagnose IBS, but I don't think there's a skin prick test that tells you if it's the beans you're eating in a largely varied diet that make you feel lethargic or just the preservatives/enhancers in food. People do often turn to "alternative recommendations" because following the general recommendations hasn't worked. Oddly enough, the dietitian I work with now, just gave me guidelines that look a lot like the Whole 30. But that's to deal with issues that I have. Some of us may seem contrary because we speak from experiences we've had, and there's some validity to that experience that's often ignored on these boards in favor of clearer, more black and white thinking.

It could be very dangerous (even deadly) for a person experiencing medical problems related to food to follow the Whole 30 plan. An accurate medical diagnosis and treatment plan is what is needed. For anyone experiencing problems, I recommend working with your doctor.
If anyone is interested, these are the approved guidelines for the management of food allergies:
There are also guidelines and protocols for the management of other food related conditions such as: celiac disease, IBS, Ulcerative Colitits, Inflammatory Bowel, lactose intolerance, etc, etc.
Whole 30 does not meet "any" of these protocols for diagnosis or treatment. And should not be encouraged as a way to provide medical nutrition therapy for those with such conditions. It could be very dangerous, even deadly.

Becky, I have been reading these boards on and off for the past six years. I see how often your sound and safe advice is ignored and people just carry on with bad information like you never spoke. I for one respect and listen to you, I appreciate your education on the subjects of diet and nutrition. If you ever feel like you are banging your head against a wall, please know that there are some of us out here that listen.
I believe in all those guidelines, except the exclusion of eggs and occasional dairy.

Elimination diets are utilized in a variety of contexts to help people with digestive (or other?) symptoms. What you discover from such things can be amazing. Still, it's not a weight loss plan. I agree it would be good to have medical supervision - especially in cases where it's being attempted as a diagnostic tool - but if you're just trying to identify "bumps in your road", you don't *have* to have a professional directing it.
I know the term "Whole 30", although I don't know its specifics. I've never done it (that I know of), although I do listen when my body tells me it simply will not or cannot manage or metabolize some foods. I don't push my luck, and I'm better off for that.
I think healthier eating in general is key, rather than trying to adhere to some plan constructed with anyone else's specifics. Certainly some things are healthy or unhealthy overall... but we still each need to listen and heed the signals our own bodies send us.

I was just listening to JJ being interviewed yesterday and the Whole 30 is an elimination diet to figure out what if any sensitivities someone may have to a certain food. She eliminates the foods that people typically have the most problems with for 30 days then reintroduces them one at a time to see how they are tolerated. Weight loss can be a side effect but it is not the goal of the diet.
The premise is great. However that's a lot of food to cut out all at one time. I have always had horrible digestive problems and I have had great success with eliminating some foods (not entirely, but mostly). I used an elimination type diet to figure out what foods cause me problems.
Although this is not "medically approved" I really think it would be silly not to listen to my body. Common sense tells us if we are doing something that causes discomfort or pain to stop doing it. That same reasoning should apply to food as well.
MANDIETERRIER1 Posts: 15,222
I do agree with you, some things don't work for some people. I have diabetic family members that can consume bread and carbs. And other diabetic family members who absolutely cannot. It causes their blood sugar to go through the roof.
I am able to eat things in moderation, but I am trying hard to make my diet better every day. Cutting out all breads and pastas doesn't appeal to me. Cutting out most of them is not a bad idea.
I also adore cheese. Maybe if I put cheese on my lentils? :)
We each have to find what works for us

As a Registered Dietitian I find the program disturbing for these 2 reasons.
1. People may be under the impression that Whole 30 is a plan for weight loss. But the site says this is not a weight loss plan. Of course people will lose weight---just look at all the foods one is restricting for 30 days. However, a weight loss plan should be a plan that you can stick with for the rest of your life. Whole 30 does not meet this criteria. So, as the site says...it is not a weight loss plan.
2. The site is indicating that Whole 30 is a way to determine "what" foods one can tolerate, what may be inflaming your system, etc, etc. It is a type of elimination diet. But, medically speaking...this is not the medically approved protocol for determining food allergies or food sensitivities or food tolerance issues. This plan is not based on scientific evidence for the diagnosis or treatment for such condition.
So what is the purpose or medical benefit of the plan. I see no true benefit. There are much better ways to eat to improve your health which do incorporate accurate scientific research.

Thanks Rebecca. Well, I guess it's caseins for me, as I adore cheese!!!!
REBECANOLA Posts: 3,285
EELPIE - casein is a protein found in milk products. It's also used as a binder in foods sometimes. But some people are allergic to it or try to avoid it; sometimes you'll see the label "casein free" on a food.
MANDIETERRIER1 - I also dislike the idea of labeling food "good" or "bad" but I personally don't think that excluding something makes it "bad." Please, if I could eat certain things (beans, pasta, bread) and still lose weight or feel great, I would. But I can't. That doesn't make the food bad in my mind; it's more about your attitude than what you eat.

I believe question was asked, not related to the merits of Whole 30 but rather what is it. Personally it is not for me, I have done a similar idea without cutting as much at once. I eliminated dairy (cow's) for a month then reintroduced it and found I was lactose intolerant. each person must find what works before them long term
EELPIE Posts: 2,700
@ Rebeca - what is casein? Does that have to do with meat?
mmmmm Lentily stew!

On Weight Watchers I can have anything I want as long as I don't go over in bonus points. No food is off limits. I just choose to use my points mostly for real food. Although I do use my bonus points for treats sometimes.
I am going to have to try Barley and Lentils again. Maybe it was the way my mom prepared them? I used to dislike Brussel Sprouts, but now I love them roasted. And love them in general.
I always had stomach problems when I was a child. I am glad my parents didn't have this diet to put me on. Turns out my inflammation and pain was caused by a cyst on my common bile duct. Diet would not have fixed it. Diet might have helped, but it wouldn't make it go away. It had to be fixed with surgery. It took fourteen years of symptoms for this disorder to be found and diagnosed.
I have a friend that is always putting her kids on diets like this. Without her doctors advice. I think that just sets up disordered eating. To assign food good and bad. That is unless there is a known allergy. My other friends child has been diagnosed with Celiac's disease. So it makes sense that they avoid gluten.
Just my .02

Geez. A "fad diet" is different from a "crash diet." Also food groups mean nothing - macro nutrients mean more.
I might call paleo a "fad" diet because of the way it's packaged. That doesn't mean it doesn't have any redeeming characteristics. And again, you're labeling it that way perhaps because you haven't read much about it (the whole 30 is a very specific 30 day elimination plan).
Nobody here labeled anything as okay to eat as far as I saw someone pasted a list of foods from the site. (And there's a whole thing in the paleo stuff about casein, which is not something I in particular care about and there's a strong statement to eat organic, grass fed and unprocessed meats, which I do care about.) Nothing I said contradicts what you said and vice versa.
In your list, though, there's actually not anything there that applies to the Whole 30. For one, it's not a weight loss plan. There is stuff, though, that I would take issue with there. There are valid health reasons to limit either carbohydrates or fats in one's diet and there are most certainly hormone issues that cause weight gain (or loss for that matter). There are more things on that list that apply to Weight Watchers.
All that being said, EELPIE I love lentils. I used to do a stew with lentils, spinach, and curry (you can even put barley in it). It''s delicious. Unfortunately, when I eat beans any weight loss comes to a halt.
LILSPARKGIRL Posts: 2,740
We have cut dairy because we journaled and under a doctor's supervision were told to cut dairy (btw it casein that we were cutting and those appear in things like sausage (which you listed as okay to eat). She also had allergy testing - skin and blood.
But we did not remove wheat/corn/potatoes/oats/millet/legumes etc from her diet. If that was a possible allergen we would have - there is no need to do it all at once. You can eliminate one and see how it goes, and later eliminate another.
It is a crash diet - you are eliminating 2 entire food groups.
How to spot a fad diet:
Here are some things to look for that are common in fad diets:
Blames weight gain on things like blood type,
personality, or hormones
Carries no warnings for individuals with health
problems to seek medical advice before beginning the
Carries warnings of danger from one of the products
Discourages drinking water
Doesnt address the need for portion control
Doesnt allow freedom and flexibility
Doesnt recommend or include physical activity
Encourages unlimited consumption of certain foods
Forbids or limits certain foods
Ignores individual differences in weight loss
Lists good and bad foods
Must combine certain foods in each meal
Must pay a good amount of money to get results
Promises a quick fix with little to no effort
Rapid weight loss, more than 2 pounds a week
Requires you to purchase a certain product
Severe limits on carbohydrates or fat
Simple conclusions drawn from complex studies
Sounds too good to be true
Uses testimonials or case studies to show results
You must drink your daily calorie intake

Pretty much no one should be on a "crash diet", LILSPARKGIRL, but if you think it's a "crash diet" then again you're reading it wrong. There's no emphasis on calorie counting, just on eating fresh, unprocessed food and eliminating foods that are known allergens and inflammatory for some people. People cut foods out of their diets for allergies all of the time and still remain healthy. I'm not saying that I think that it's the only way to eat healthily, find out what foods bother you, or that it works for everyone or even something everyone can or wants to stick to. But, I think people make a lot of assumptions about things without knowing much about them - or just not understanding what eating a certain way looks like. As I mentioned, there are plenty of people who would say the same things you said about veganism. I would encourage you to look at some of the Whole 30 or Paleo recipes - they can be a good addition to any healthy eating plan.

oh Mandie, you made my heart sad to hear that
Just kidding! How do you feel about barley? OMG don't even get me going on barley! lol, my bf said to me the other day "What the in the hell is up with you and barley?" - I had it for the first time about 2 weeks ago!

I don't like lentils, but I think they would be good for someone that likes them.
Since joining WW. (I joined because my mother wanted a buddy) I now usually eat cauliflower or broccoli with my meat dishes. Or broccoli slaw. Pasta and rice have a lot of points.
I am glad that the Whole 30 works for some. For me no grains and all that fat is a recipe for indigestion.

LILSPARKGIRL - the Whole 30 is by definition a 30 day program. It's not meant to be long term. And I would absolutely think it was a good idea for my 12 year old to eat fresh, clean foods and no sugar. It's really just that easy to explain. I've read about this and I have never heard that if you "mess up" you have to start again. Maybe I missed something on the page when I was reading it?
But, as I said before most people who do the "Paleo Diet" or any sort of way of eating really, are in an 80/20 or 90/10 situation, in that they eat that way the large majority of the time, but have a treat occasionally. I don't see how that's not a healthy relationship with food. Counting calories is more stressful than that. If you think it's about some combative relationship with food, then you're reading it wrong. It's all about the abundance that's available when you ditch processed food.
EELPIE Posts: 2,700
@LILSPARKGIRL - OMG - I never had lentils in my life until a little while ago! Oh, wow, where have they been all this time?
Ginger today for the time, I loved it! They are so good :)
It's mind blowing to me, how all this time I missed such an easy, nutritious, healthy, easy to prepare, protein packed food!!
I've honestly, never even eaten Indian food before - so I'm super excited about the ginger and curry powder...I'm kinda aiming for this www.yummly.com/recipe/external/Red-Lentil-
Curry-Allrecipes - but I'm not sure about the tomato puree - I have to find very low sodium, or just use fresh tomatoes.
LILSPARKGIRL Posts: 2,740
it's not that is "nothing to eat", just that it extremely restrictive. And if you have that forbidden food you start the 30 days all over again.
Of course it works. it's some fruit, some vegetables, meat, eggs and fish.
But is it sustainable long term? Do you follow it and the next month add one item. And then the next add another item?
And if your 12 year old wanted to do it would you think it was a good idea or example? it is VERY easy to explain spark to my daughter. if she wanted to follow it, it would not hurt her or her idea of food not being the enemy. It shows a healthy relationship with food.

I have just discovered lentils - I have the red ones. I love them! i make a big batch of them plain and then I cook a serving with freshly diced tomatoes, onions and curry powder. I add any leftover vegetables (today zucchini and some broccoli).
it's a filling and delicious meal!
My gf uses garam masala to season hers - i'm trying that next week!
REBECANOLA Posts: 3,285
I don't get it when people say there's nothing to eat with paleo or low carb or whatever. There's a whole world of fruits and vegetables as well as proteins and a myriad of combinations of such. What's hard about it is changing how you eat habitually - reaching for a sandwich for lunch or a scoop of rice with your stir fry or stopping at the McDonald's in the mall. If you're not shopping in the middle aisles of the grocery store, you're almost there anyway. Being a vegan is just as (if not more so) restrictive and a potential "inconvenience" to others. The Whole 30 is a very specific commitment though, and very different from the Standard American Diet. From what I can tell, most people who use the "Paleo Diet" approach use a 80/20 or 90/10 approach. The smaller number being for allowances like a slice of birthday cake or a glass of wine. But as someone else said, the Whole 30 also aims to help a person identify foods that cause them inflammation or some sort of distress. So while nightshades can be perfectly healthy, some people may have problems with them. (My mom notices a big difference in how she feels when she avoids them, for example). There's absolutely nothing unhealthy about it and it can help people learn to eat cleaner and find out if there are foods bothering them that they didn't notice.
For the OP, if you want a challenge it is one, but if not, it will likely frustrate you. That being said, I'm thinking of committing to a Whole 30 as a challenge (just like people who do sugar detoxes, kick a soda habit or commit to daily exercise) - the tough thing for me would be not having a glass of wine here and there. This is how I eat the majority of the time and besides my weight, all my numbers have gotten even better.
EELPIE Posts: 2,700
I think (again) this is where I am having an issue. As someone who struggles to get protein and minerals and iron in my diet - and have found lentils to do all of that for me...then to hear that it's not a good food to eat (should be excluded)....
lol...off topic, but I experimented with ginger with the lentil concoction today!! OMG. I'm getting curry powder next shopping trip - should be good with the ginger, garlic and onions with the lentils.

*grumbles about plausible-sounding sciency terminology masquerading as something with a meaningful connection to human health*
Let me get started someday on the "anti-nutrients" in spinach; the botanical history of squashes or broccoli; or the hidden assumption that lentils are intended to replace 'real' vegetables in a diet (they're not) or that they have fewer nutrients (besides the easily replaceable lack of an amino acid or two) than the meat and starchy vegetables they could replace (they don't), or that their carbohydrates are in any way bad f(they're not) ... Blergh. Sorry.
EELPIE Posts: 2,700
Lentils work as wonderful protein source for me, as I am over 95% vegetarian. I eat meat once a week. www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspic
I follow a low gi form of eating, which along with clean eating, caused me to lose weight. Successfully.

But many people don't eat like you do - too many people rely on fast food, processed food
and/or "diet" food, i.e. Lean Cuisine, Weight Watchers meals, etc. As far as not eating legumes on this plan; this is the explanation from the website:
"Legumes are often recommended as a healthy dietary choice, based on their fiber, vitamins and minerals, and high protein content. But legumes arent really a dense protein source (most contain two to three times as much carbohydrate as protein), and theyre nowhere near as dense (or complete) as the protein found in meat, seafood, or eggs. In addition, when compared to vegetables and fruit, legumes pale in comparison in both micronutrient density and fiber.
"Some legumes also contain considerable amounts of phytates anti-nutrients which bind to minerals in the legumes, rendering them unavailable to our bodies. (This means some of the minerals technically present in the legumes arent able to be accessed by our bodies and means that legumes arent as micronutrient-dense as nutrition data might suggest.*)
"*Ancient cultures figured out that rinsing, prolonged soaking, cooking, and fermenting legumes reduces the anti-nutrient content. If you choose to eat legumes, we highly recommend you also take these steps to mitigate some of the potential downsides.
"In addition, because some of the short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) found in legumes arent properly digested and absorbed in the digestive tract, they can act as food for bacteria living in the intestines. These bacteria then ferment these carbohydrates, which can create unpleasant symptoms like gas and bloating, and potentially contribute to gut dysbiosis an inherently inflammatory condition."
On this plan, we eat real food fresh, natural food like meat, vegetables and fruit. Choose foods that are nutrient-dense, with lots of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, over foods that have more calories but less nutrition. Food quality is important be careful about where meat, seafood and eggs come from, and buy organic local produce as often as possible.
This is not a diet we eat as much as needed to maintain strength, energy, activity levels and a healthy body weight. Aim for well-balanced nutrition, so eat both animals and a significant amount of plants. It is not lacking carbohydrates they are just obtained from vegetables and fruits instead of bread, cereal or pasta. The meals are probably higher in fat than youd imagine, but fat is a healthy source of energy when it comes from high-quality foods like avocado, coconut and grass-fed beef.
Eating like this is ideal for maintaining a healthy metabolism and reducing inflammation within the body. Its good for body composition, energy levels, sleep quality, mental attitude and quality of life. It helps eliminate sugar cravings and reestablishes a healthy relationship with food. It also works to minimize your risk for a whole host of lifestyle diseases and conditions, like diabetes, heart attack, stroke and autoimmune.

"no ingredients listed at all because theyre totally natural and unprocessed."
I guess this is my confusion? That's what I already do.
It's called eating clean.
But according to the list above, legumes are out.
My favourite lunch is: sauteed onions in olive oil, garlic, lentils, carrots, butter. I eat that 5 times a week.
"basically you eat foods with very few ingredients, all pronounceable ingredients, or better yet, no ingredients listed at all because theyre totally natural and unprocessed. "
I guess I don't understand the restrictions on it.

What do people eat on Whole 30? How about: Fish and seafood (preferrably wild-caught + sustainably fished), beef, buffalo, lamb, elk, venison, etc., eggs (preferrably pastured + organic), poultry (preferrably pastured + organic), pork, wild boar, rabbit, etc. (pastured + organic), bacon, sausage, deli meat, etc. (100% grassfed/pastured + organic), just about any vegetable you can imagine; fruit; healthy fats, i.e. animal fats (pastured or 100% grassfed + organic), clarified butter, ghee, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, avocado, cashews, coconut butter, coconut meat/flakes, coconut milk (canned), hazelnuts, macadema nuts, olives, almonds, almond butter, brazil nuts, pecans, pistachio; limited amounts of fax seeds, pine nuts, pumpkin seets, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, sunflower seed butter, walnuts - basically you eat foods with very few ingredients, all pronounceable ingredients, or better yet, no ingredients listed at all because theyre totally natural and unprocessed.

I know somebody that did it. And they lost weight. It is really hard to stick too.
I guess that everyone is different. I made it to goal (125 pounds down from 165) eating in moderation. I don't like beans, but tell me that I can't have them and that is all I will want.
What do people eat on the Whole 30? That list of don'ts doesn't seem to leave much to eat.

I don't really agree that you "just" cut out all of those foods for 30 days - that is a HUGE amount of time! Especially when factoring in a night eating out, a staff party, family gatherings, etc, over the course of a month. I'd rather not be a hermit or inconvenience someone to that extent.
LANECE629 Posts: 10
I can really relate to you. I cut out a lot of processed foods and started to incorporate more vegetables into my meals. I also started watching my calories. Watching what I eat, drinking more water and exercising is helping me to lose my weight. I also noticed a difference in my skin, hair and nails as well. I think that all comes from exercising and eating better.
I decided a year ago I never wanted to do another diet. I read through this myself and there are many restrictions that I do not think I can do so I'll just keep doing what I'm doing.
Thanks again for the feedback!

I'm glad it worked for you.
I've had remarkable success with my own diet in regards to my energy, cholesterol, skin clearing up, hair growing 3 inches and being more full and lustrous than ever in my life. My fingernails are now off the charts. I have to file them down every 2 weeks now in order to keep them manageable - my SIL asked me last weekend how I much I spend on them (thought the were fake at salon).
But, I didn't follow any special diet plan for that. I simply cut out processed foods from my diet and now only eat whole foods that I enjoy.
I also lost weight doing that, too! Such amazing results, I sometimes forget the weight loss side of it

What LILSPARKGIRL fails to mention in her response is that while yes, you do avoid those foods but it's only for 30 days - after the 30 days (hence the name Whole 30), you add them back in one at a time to see how your body reacts to it - this is how you discover what foods, if any, you are sensitive to. I've done it and it makes perfect sense to me. Also, it's not technically a weight loss diet, in fact they tell you to NOT get on the scales, don't measure, etc., just follow the plan exactly as it's written for 30 days. Most people do lose a considerable amount of weight simply because they've eliminated many foods that are likely toxic for their body. What is amazing about the plan is that you will lose your cravings for sweets and junk food, you likely won't feel hungry between meals, your energy level will skyrocket, skin will clear up, cholesterol may even improve! Is it easy? No, but for me it was worth it!

EELPIE Posts: 2,700
@ LILSPARKGIRL are those the rules in the diet?
If so....um, how about no way?
To the OP? Have you tried eating foods you DO enjoy and staying in your daily range?
1. Track your food on your tracker everyday.
2. Stay in your range.
3. Eat foods you like.
4. Enjoy.

oh my. No. Haven't tried it and after looking at their website and all the "rules".... do not ever intend to. And if you slip and eat something you're not supposed to, you have to start over at Day 1. Nope. Not for me.
LILSPARKGIRL Posts: 2,740
Frankly, the idea of following a diet again makes me want to cry. I can't imagine giving up entire food groups again. Does this sound like something you can do the rest of your life?
Do not consume added sugar of any kind, real or artificial. No maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, coconut sugar, Splenda, Equal, Nutrasweet, xylitol, stevia, etc. Read your labels, because companies sneak sugar into products in ways you might not recognize.
Do not consume alcohol in any form, not even for cooking. (And it should go without saying, but no tobacco products of any sort, either.)
Do not eat grains. This includes (but is not limited to) wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, rice, millet, bulgur, sorghum, amaranth, buckwheat, sprouted grains and all of those gluten-free pseudo-grains like quinoa. This also includes all the ways we add wheat, corn and rice into our foods in the form of bran, germ, starch and so on. Again, read your labels.
Do not eat legumes. This includes beans of all kinds (black, red, pinto, navy, white, kidney, lima, fava, etc.), peas, chickpeas, lentils, and peanuts. No peanut butter, either. This also includes all forms of soy soy sauce, miso, tofu, tempeh, edamame, and all the ways we sneak soy into foods (like lecithin).
Do not eat dairy. This includes cow, goat or sheeps milk products such as cream, cheese (hard or soft), kefir, yogurt (even Greek), and sour cream with the exception of clarified butter or ghee. (See below for details.)
Do not eat white potatoes. This is somewhat arbitrary, but if we are trying to change your habits (chips and fries) and improve the hormonal impact of your food choices, its best to leave white, red, purple, Yukon gold, and fingerling potatoes off your plate.
Do not consume carrageenan, MSG or sulfites. If these ingredients appear in any form on the label of your processed food or beverage, its out for the Whole30.
No Paleo-ifying baked goods, desserts, or junk foods. Trying to shove your old, unhealthy diet into a shiny new Whole30 mold will ruin your program faster than you can say Paleo Pop-Tarts.
This means no desserts or junk food made with approved ingredientsno banana-egg pancakes, almond-flour muffins, flourless brownies, or coconut milk ice cream. Dont try to replicate junk food during your 30 days! That misses the point of the Whole30 entirely.

There's a Buddypress integration that isn't compatible with WPEC 3.8.5 and snippets of code from another user, but I can't believe that such an essential feature isn't already implemented or part of the core code (or from a paid-for addon/plugin).
I've created custom WP user profile forms before (adding address fields etc) as per here, but having looked through the WPEC documentation I'm a little confused as to how I would link that up with the check out info.
I'd be interested to know anyone's thoughts

Activision is really excited to announce that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has hit the $1 BILLION landmark, breaking yet another sales record.
Sixteen days was all it took for Modern Warfare 3 to hit this monetary milestone, even faster than James Cameron's
Space Pocahontas Space Dances With Wolves Avatar.
"Engagement of our Call of Duty audience continues to rise around the world," said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. "Call of Duty as an entertainment franchise has made an indelible mark on popular culture and its broad and continued success is further validation that audiences increasingly value interactive experiences over passive experiences."
"Call of Duty has become that rare entertainment franchise that transcends its own genre. Core gamers love it, as our stellar reviews show. But every year, new people are drawn into Call of Duty," Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, added. "And while the franchise continues to set records, our fans still seem to want more, demonstrated by our record setting start on Call of Duty Elite. We are committed to helping everyone connect, compete and improve their game, Call of Duty style."
Anyway, no surprise, Call of Duty prints money.

Bilbao were left fuming by the referee's decision to rule out Iraizoz's header, after the stopper came forward at a free-kick during added time, for what appeared to be an offside decision against Aymeric Laporte.
There was still time for Malaga keeper Carlos Kameni to upend Bilbao striker Aritz Aduriz which the referee did not see. Malaga had taken the lead after 35 minutes when Luis Alberto knocked home the rebound after Iraizoz saved his spot kick.
However, the home side had to hang on in the final stages following red cards for Duda and Vitorino Antunes.
Valencia substitute Lucas Orban grabbed a late goal to earn a 1-1 draw at Sevilla after Rodrigo de Paul was given a red card within two minutes of coming on to make his debut.
Aleix Vidal had put Sevilla ahead before the break as he slotted home the rebound after his first shot was blocked by keeper Diego Alves.
Valencia reinforced their squad in the close season and have high hopes ahead of the expected takeover of the club by Singaporean billionaire Peter Lim, but apart from Pablo Piatti's first-half shot that hit both posts they caused few problems.
Vitolo could have added to Sevilla's lead but he shot wide after picking up a loose ball in the area and then De Paul, having just come off the bench, was dismissed after 65 minutes for elbowing Vidal in the face.
Valencia looked like they were heading for defeat before Orban, brought on for the final 10 minutes, bundled the ball over the line from close range to make the perfect start to his career at the Mestalla.
Granada's Ruben Rochina and Jean-Sylvain Babin scored in the second half to earn a 2-1 win over promoted Deportivo la Coruna, who had taken the lead through Cavaleiro after 20 minutes.

I'm VERY new to this coding stuff and I'm managing the wordpress site for a charity I volunteer for. There is lots of organisations around the country and a theme dedicated to the organisation has been developed which is what we're using. They want us to personalise this as much as we want, so...
I want people to be able to comment on blog posts but as far as I can see there is no comments.php in the editor. Is there a way to add this element into the theme?
The site is:

Integrates the Terrific concept (http://terrifically.org) into WordPress.
Note: This plugin won't work on WordPress-instances hosted by WordPress.com.
This plugin integrates the Terrific concept into WordPress and is based on Roger Dudler's Terrific micro. Views as well as partials were removed from the integration, use WordPress functionality (templates/template parts) instead.Features
You can render a module in your template files using the 'module'-function, e.g.:
<?php module('TeaserBox'); ?>
You can provide more parameters to the function to control the output:
module(Module Name, Module Template Name (optional, default: null), Skin Name (optional, default: null), Additional Attributes (optional, default: array()))
As this function is part of Terrific micro, you'll find a more detailed description on Github.
You can flush the Terrific cache manually as well as start the inspect mode via the admin bar (see screenshot).
The plugin automatically includes WordPress' own jQuery version as the first script file. You can disable this option in the admin page and include your own jQuery or Zepto version in the assets.json as usual.
There's not much to know about the integration, I recommend you to let the plugin create a new theme to get an idea on how things could be done. If you have problems using Terrific, check out terrifically.org, the Terrific micro github page and the Terrific google group.Dependencies

ACLU Sues the CIA, Challenges "Extraordinary Rendition"
I've called this and other lawsuits challenging the U.S. government's conduct in the war on terrorism the "Third Wave" of Alien Tort Statute lawsuits (see here for my essay). The first wave was against foreigners, the second was against corporations, and the third is increasingly against the U.S. government itself. Each lawsuit may have merits in their own right, but I have to believe that these third wave lawsuits will ultimately lead to the eventual elimination of the ATS in its current form.

According to the Charlotte Observer, Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx has issued a proclamation saying that Thursday is a "Day of Reason," lending his name for the second consecutive year to a movement that emphasizes the separation of church and state.
The American Humanist Association, a co-sponsor of the day, said on its website, that, "with the religious right's influence in Congress, and with the threat to our Judiciary looming large, there has never been as important a moment in which to affirm our commitment to the Constitutional separation of religion and government, and to celebrate Reason as the guiding principle of our secular democracy."
Foxx, a Democrat, also issued a proclamation saying that Thursday is also a "National Day of Prayer." That is a congressional-sponsored day that encourages people of all religions and faiths to pray for the country.
Foxx attends the Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Charlotte.
The website for the National Day of Reason lists some public officials who have endorsed the event in the past. They include the New Orleans City Council and Neb. Gov. Dave Heineman.
Foxx was nominated Monday by President Barack Obama to be U.S. Transportation Secretary.

Testing the Structural Interpretation of the Price Puzzle with a Cost-Channel Model
We estimate a new-Keynesian DSGE model with the cost channel to assess its ability to replicate the price puzzle ie the inflationary impact of a monetary policy shock typically arising in VAR analysis. In order to correctly identify the monetary policy shock, we distinguish between a standard policy rate shifter and a shock to trend inflation ie the time-varying inflation target set by the Fed. While offering some statistical support to the cost channel, our estimated model clearly implies a negative inflation reaction to a tightening of monetary policy. We offer a discussion of the possible sources of mismatch between the VAR evidence and our own.

Pudd'nhead Wilson (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Mark Twain's darkest novel--about a master and slave switched at birth--combines a courtroom drama with a provocative fable about race and identity.
Twain's plot is set in motion when a slave named Roxy exchanges her light-skinned son Chambers with her master's baby, Tom. Roxy's child, now known as Tom, grows up as a spoiled, privileged white man, who is horrified when Roxy tells him the truth. He nearly gets away with a vicious crime, but his downfall comes in the form of a clever, eccentric lawyer, nicknamed "Puddn'head" Wilson. Twain's novel was the first to use fingerprinting to solve a crime, but its significance goes much further as an investigation into the nature of identity. When the two young men are forced to change places again, the former slave finds himself exiled to a white world where he will never feel at ease, while Roxy's child discovers that his newfound value as human property outweighs his guilt as a murderer. Despite its ironic humor and the symmetrical neatness of its denouement, "Pudd'nhead Wilson "is a tragedy that refuses easy answers.
About the Author
Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was an American humorist and writer, who is best known for his enduring novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which has been called the Great American Novel. Raised in Hannibal, Missouri, Twain held a variety of jobs including typesetter, riverboat pilot, and miner before achieving nationwide attention for his work as a journalist with The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. He earned critical and popular praise for his wit and enjoyed a successful career as a public speaker in addition to his writing. Twain s works were remarkable for his ability to capture colloquial speech, although his adherence to the vernacular of the time has resulted in the suppression of his works by schools in modern times. Twain s birth in 1835 coincided with a visit by Halley s Comet, and Twain predicted, accurately, that he would go out with it as well, dying the day following the comet s return in 1910.

Released: Nov 01st, 2003
Running Time: 86
Director: Peter Romero
Company: Catalina Video
Cast: Maxime Cannon, Jason Ivy, Tino Lopez, Jessie Cooper, Enrico Vega, Sal Correlli, Gavin Braun, Steve Rambo, Ray Harley, Jean Valjean, Adriano (II)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
Stock well in New Releases. Hot cast and hot sex will move this.
Hot, hard-on inducing, hairy-ass video with five sexy suck-fuck scenes, including an enthusiastic final threeway with Braun, Harley, and Cooper—but movie-star handsome Rambo steals the movie (as he steals most movies he's in) with his good looks and oral-anal eagerness. The hottest shot in a video full of hot shots is of Rambo's hands exploring his own rosy asshole while he sucks big-lipped Adriano's heavy cock. Rambo looks great grunting while getting fucked, but he really shines when he squats on that cock and fucks his own butt with it. He's got competition too. The mouths and assholes of Harley, Ivy, and Correlli clearly also adore hard cock.

How can I scan my photos as JPGs not PDFs?
Hi i'm not very computer / Scanner literate. I cannot seem to find a way to convert all my scanned photos into JPGs to allow me to trim / crop zoom etc As my scanner seems to be pretty much plug and play they've all come out as PDFs.. Any advice is very much welcomed.. thanks.
Re: How can I scan my photos as JPGs not PDFs?
I'd like to know this too. I have a new 4400 series HP printer. I LOVE it. Tried the scan feature. but it scans to a PDF file. I get no type of "menu" that allows me to "customize". Plus a PDF is of no use to me. I must say the QUALITY of the result is excellent.
I got no manuals with the printer. I did download a "basic" manual (about 25 pages). i didnt want to "waste" ink by getting the full manual.

You can scan inJPEG format by going to lower left Windows Icon
go to all Programs

Click on that and then scan and save in JPEG format...
I guess the scan on the machine itself is only for documents
as it only scans if PDF format...
They sure don't make it easy do they?

Snowshoe is a complete rip off with overpriced tickets and all the terrain not being accessible. If you charge $75 dollar tickets you should have more than 60% of the mtn open. that in itself is a rip off. They have high speed lifts but they never seem to be high speed with the exception of the black diamond side. The runs are narrow which is a hazard when those around you cannot ride. People love to stop in the middle of the run at the apex waiting for death, move to the side idiots don't sit in the middle of a narrow run and expect not to be hit by someone, and parents make sure your kids move out of the way if they stop. I have held a season pass for years with this mtn watching the steady decline in conditions, service, and the fact that everything is so expensive from rooms to tickets makes this mtn one of the worst for those on budgets. I don't feel that they are here for the customer they just want to see how much money they can rip out of your wallet. $120 dollars a night for a room than $75 dollars a ticket ridiculous for such a crap mtn. Go to Canaan Valley, it is cheaper and has more reasonable ticket prices and lodging. Avoid this mtn. you will most likely be disappointed if you are better than intermediate rider because there is nothing worth while after that. A very overrated mtn. With little that should be rated this high.

Christianity has always been a thinking person�s faith, but is there a way for a person to "think christianly" (to borrow a phrase from the literary critic Harry Blamires)? Does one think christianly only when pondering religious or theological issues�� the Bible, the Church or life after death, to name a few? Or can one think christianly about any number of issues, even those generally regarded as secular?
The plain answer is that one can think christianly about any topic, including ostensibly secular ones, like international trade agreements, the ballet, global warming and many others. And one can think non-christianly about any topic, including religious ones, like the Bible, the Church and life after death.
That one can think non-christianly about religious topics is evident in our universities, where one can earn a degree in "religious studies" without at all ascribing to the truth claims of the subject matter. Indeed, to do so might actually be a hindrance to academic success.
Because of the profound influence of Christian thought in the West prior to the nineteenth century, non-Christians may sometimes think christianly without even knowing it. Because of the widespread influence of secularism in the West since then, Christians may sometimes think non-christianly without even knowing it.
How does thinking christianly differ from thinking secularly? Blamires locates the difference between the two in the Christian�s "supernatural orientation." He or she approaches any issue with the assumption that God is the source of everything and the foundational reality. From this perspective, absolutely everything in the universe bears some relationship to God.
This is very different from the person who thinks non-christianly. He or she approaches any issue with the assumption that the material world is the source of everything and the foundational reality. As Carl Sagan famously put it, "The Cosmos is all there is, ever was or ever will be." From this perspective, nothing in the universe�� including ethics, morality and even religion�� is in any way related to God.
Eliminating God from one�s thoughts on any subject makes a vast difference in the conclusions one will reach. For example, if God is removed from our thinking about human sexuality, then the historic view that humans were designed�� that there exists a blueprint for humanity�� is lost. If humans are not designed, then there is no standard. If there is no standard, there is no norm. If there is no norm, sexual choices are governed only by desire.
A similar pattern follows whether one is thinking about human rights, politics or the future of fossil fuels. Those who think christianly will not always reach the same conclusions on such issues, but because they operate from the same premise they will understand each other.
How can a Christian, instructed in an irreligious educational system and awash in a secularist society, make sure he is thinking christianly? He begins by thinking (to use James W. Sire�s word for it) "worldviewishly."
Page 2 of 2 - A worldview is, as Sire describes it, the "set of assumptions that are the foundation of all our thoughts." The Christian learns to identify those assumptions in the thinking of others and of himself.
But thinking christianly goes beyond an awareness of our worldview assumptions. It involves searching for truth in the light of the God revealed to us in and by Jesus Christ. The Christian asks, "What does this mean"�� where "this" may be anything from the minimum wage to the death of a loved one�� "in a world where the God of Jesus is present?"
To think like this one must be knowledgeable about the character and nature of the God of Jesus. The acquisition of such knowledge is the prime task for all who would think christianly. Equipped with such knowledge, a person can think profitably and fearlessly about any subject.

Released: Jan 01st, 2003
Running Time: 60
Director: Duck Dumont
Company: RedBoard Video
Cast: Alana Evans, Dalny Marga, Montana Gunn, Eva Moore, Sonja Redd, Coral Sands, Kaylynn, Dayton Rains
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
This video would do well as filler for a solo section, especially for RedBoard fans.
Pussy Fingers, as the name suggests, provides a m?lange of masturbation scenes, each as predictable as the next. Fortunately, the RedBoard stable has a few cuties, even if the term porn star is a bit liberally applied. Sonja Redd literally oozes out of her bathing suit before rubbing away at her nethers. Coral Sands, with her heavy metal vagina - she's got oodles of piercings - knows exactly how to work the camera. Her legs are dynamite, and she loves showing her ass to us as she diddles her skittle. Kinky-haired Kaylynn is full of newcomer charm, with her '70s-style bush serving as a welcome wading pool for her hand.
All is not perfect in Pussy Land, however. Alana, despite her nice little tits, deliciously fat clit and filthy mouth, has five o'clock shadow of the loins. No performances are overly enthusiastic, and only Coral, Sonja, and the eager Eva Moore are camera savvy.

Released: Jul 01st, 2006
Running Time: 158
Director: Dick (I)
Company: NJ Films
Cast: Julian St. Jox, Tony Everready, Phoebe (I), Byron Long, Lee Bang, Sophie Dee, Gianna, Jessica Jammer, Niki Grind
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
A mysterious black suitcase links these four scenes, which play up a fetish for socks and bare feet while simultaneously working the white chick/black dick angle. Niki Grind's rough scene with Tony Everready is a standout, and she displays some impressive footwork kneading Everready's balls with her feet.
Gianna and Phoebe paint each other's toenails and make out before Byron Long shows up to provide the meat for a white girl sandwich. Phoebe keeps those toe-separator things on the whole time, and the girls lick the cum off each other's tootsies for a finale.
With lengthy, varied scenes and no shortage of foot action (with and without socks), this series continues to hit the mark for its intended audience.

Stanley casts himself as a janitor at Stone's club who offers to let Meghan stay at his place, crafting some wonderful dialog scenes between them. Only the pacing and look of the vid are less wonderful, both somewhat inconsistent.

A lot of my friends are using the new Windows Live Messenger 2011. So everyone only views a first name and surname.
My friends think: "I want some dots and commas in my name". So they change their surname to a dot. The problem is: This new surname is automatically updated in my Windows Live Mail. So some of my friends are now called like:
John K or
Pete .. And when I update their names back to the original, the information is overridden again when they update their name once again.
How can I turn the automatic name updating off in Windows Live Mail?
I would like to have their real names instead of what they make of it.

|"Dark Reign: Fantastic Four" #1 on sale March 4
A cunning mind in his own right, Norman Osborn knows there are other more intelligent people in the Marvel Universe, and that those geniuses are a threat to his Dark Reign. This March, Osbornâs going to take action against the Marvel U's biggest brain, Reed Richards, in the five-issue âDark Reign: Fantastic Fourâ miniseries by writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Sean Chen. CBR News spoke with Hickman about the series.
When âDark Reign: Fantastic Fourâ begins, Norman Osborn is using the many powers at his disposal as director of H.A.M.M.E.R. and head of the U.S. Government's Initiative program to attack the Fantastic Four. âFor dramatic purposes, H.A.M.M.E.R. is assaulting the Baxter Building, but what Osborn is really doing is trying to shut down the Fantastic Four via the Initiative program,â Hickman told CBR News. âHe's putting them up for review. All of the H.A.M.M.E.R. stuff and things with Osborn dovetails into a story about the kids. It's Franklin and Valeria vs. H.A.M.M.E.R. ,which is fun and entertaining.â
Hickman continued, âIt's a good chance to write the kids, who are so important and so interesting. I love what [current âFantastic Fourâ writer Mark] Millar is doing with them, and I'm a big âX-Menâ fan, so all of the stuff with Franklin as an adult that was mentioned in that book over the years has been playing around in the back of my head. I saw an opportunity to do a cool kids story.â
|Page from "Dark Reign: Fantastic Four" #1
Osborn's attempt at neutralizing the FF launches Reed Richards into a reflective mood. âWhen I got the ongoing âFantastic Fourâ gig, I went back read everything I could and I thought that with the big events going on like Secret Invasion and the stuff with the Illuminati, you never saw the fallout of Reed's actions in Civil War in a real interesting way,â Hickman said. âHe's never really had a moment where he's said, 'I was involved in all of these things and it's all gotten messed up. What does that say about me? What does that say about my place in the Marvel Universe and how I protect my family?' So the other piece of 'Dark Reign: FF' is really Reed's journey to figure out everything that's gone wrong in the last couple of years. And it's obvious things have gotten worse with Dark Reign.
Hickman sees Richards as the most important person in the Marvel Universe. âIf you look at him in that manner, he not only has all those responsibilities, but he's also a father,â the writer said. âThat's the most important thing to him. So there's always this interesting push and pull with the character about the more important role he has to play. If you've got kids and you're a guy, it's kind of a natural conflict. You need to earn money for your family and take care of them, but you also want to be a good father, and those two things kind of push and pull against each other. Looking at him that way, I think it's easy to write Reed.â
In âDark Reign: Fantastic Four,â Reed begins the process of examining his past mistakes by doing what comes naturally to him: building a big machine. âThings go wrong with the machine and Sue, Ben, and Johnny get thrown into this world that is reflective of what Reed is currently thinking about, be it Civil War/Illuminati related or whatever,â Hickman explained. âIt's this screwed up parallel universe and you've got this cool alternate history going on there. So we'll see three of the Fantastic Four in some interesting interactions. This story pulls them all apart and brings them back together.â
|Pages from "Dark Reign: Fantastic Four" #1
Norman Osborn does show up in âDark Reign: Fantastic Four,â but Hickman feels Reed Richards's biggest adversary in the series is Richards himself. âReed has been his own worst arch-enemy for it seems like a couple of years now,â Hickman remarked. âHe's made conscious decisions that have torn his family apart and split the Marvel Universe in half. He also made conscious decisions to go behind everybody's back and those resulted in Secret Invasion. So Reed's problem is Reed, and he's got to figure that out.â
Though Richards will be sorting through his mistakes in âDark Reign: Fantastic Four,â readers shouldn't expect the tone the series to be oppressively bleak. âI think it's fair to say that whenever you sit down and do a lot of self examination and you're honest, there is going to be plenty of stuff you don't like,â Hickman stated. âBut the kind of person you are will determine what tone your introspection takes. And I think Reed feels he's got something to still give as opposed to him having no hope. So I wouldn't say this is a dark series, but it is honest.â
Jonathan Hickman has admired artist Sean Chen's work for awhile, and is excited to be collaborating with him on âDark Reign: Fantastic Four.â âWhen my editor, Tom Brevoort, said, 'We're thinking about Sean Chen for art.' I was like, 'Hell yes! He's fantastic!'â Hickman said. âHe's very good at technical things and at environments, and that's very important for this story. I'm giving him lots of hard stuff to draw and he's really tearing it up. It's a really pretty-looking book.â
|Pages from "Dark Reign: Fantastic Four" #1
âDark Reign: Fantastic Fourâ will give readers an early glimpse of how Hickman plans to handle Marvel's first family when he and artist Dale Eaglesham take over the main âFantastic Fourâ title this summer. The writer made sure he crafted a story that could be appreciated by old school FF fans as well as readers who've never had any experience with the team. âIt was a fun opportunity to do the characters and I think I had a cool story to tell that's fun for anybody to read,â Hickman said. âAnd I'm very appreciative of Marvel for throwing more stuff my way. I'm really enjoying working there. I really like working with Tom Brevoort and editor Jeanine Schaefer. They're very good.â
âDark Reign: Fantastic Fourâ #1 goes on sale March 4 from Marvel Comics.

Notes to correspondents
Secretary-General's meeting with the delegation of the Observation Project in Sri Lanka
New York, 22 February 2013
The Secretary-General today met with H.E. Mr. Tsuneo Nishida, Permanent Representative of Japan to the United Nations, together with other representatives (Bangladesh, Nigeria, Romania, Sri Lanka and Columbia University) who participated in a Observation Project visit to Sri Lanka in December 2012.
As the Chairman of the delegation, Ambassador Nishida presented the report of the Observation Project, which included an assessment of the progress undertaken by the Government of Sri Lanka on post-war issues, including on the implementation of the recommendations of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission.
The Secretary-General recognised the important steps taken by the Government of Sri Lanka since the end of the conflict and strongly underlined the need to address the remaining challenges, particularly on issues relating to reconciliation and accountability. He highlighted the important need for the Government to work constructively with the international community toward that end.

Under the health care bill, most Americans are now required to have health insurance. The government will help people pay for it by expanding Medicaid programs to include families making less than $29,000 - and singles making less than $14,400 per year.
To make their insurance more affordable, families making less than $88,000 a year will have their monthly premiums capped at anywhere from 2 to 9.5 percent of their income. Right now there is no cap. And a significant change - young adults can now stay on their parents' coverage until age 26.
In exchange for the help, those who refuse to buy health insurance will pay an annual penalty of $95 in 2014.

Already Insured? Get Ready to Pay More
Finally, insurance companies can no longer deny coverage to those with pre-existing conditions. For adults that rule begins in 2014. For children, it goes into effect six months after the bill is signed.
Complete Health Care Reform Coverage
That's good news for 6-year-old Lucas Avant.
He currently has no insurance because he had Kawasaki Syndrome - a treatable heart problem when he was 9 months old.
Lucas' mother Beth said, "we've applied to about six different insurance providers, and we've been denied by all of them."
Under the bill, Lucas and the 12.6 million other Americans struggling to get health insurance because of pre-existing conditions will now be able to get coverage.
But 29-year-old Michael Mount isn't so thrilled. He's young and healthy and doesn't have health insurance because it costs too much.
"Unfortunately, I look at health insurance and health benefits as more of a luxury item than a necessity," Mount said.
Under the bill Mount is now required to buy insurance by 2014 which could cost him nearly $200 per month. If he refuses, that $95 penalty will increase to nearly $700 by 2016.
He thinks health care still needs to be more affordable, but for the 32 million uninsured Americans about to get coverage - it's a start.

Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
CHICAGO -- It started out as a directive from the coaches but quickly turned into a spirited competition between Illinois players.
During the offseason, Illini strength coach Lou Hernandez instructed linebacker Brit Miller and several of his teammates to slim down to 240 pounds. Miller had swelled to 258 pounds following a foot injury and needed to drop weight before training camp. Inspired by the TV show "The Biggest Loser," Miller and the others initiated a competition to see who could reach 240 first.
Other competitors included fullback Rahkeem Smith, linebacker Sam Carson III and wide receiver Greg McClendon.
"Every day, there were weigh-in sessions, fighting weight," Miller said. "It kept the summer fun. We'd always try to get each other to go out to eat, and nobody would do it. They'd be like, 'Aw, I'm not going out to eat with you.' And there were guys trying to exercise at times when nobody would be in there. You'd catch guys doing some weird stuff."
So, who won?
"This guy right here, dude, the biggest loser," Miller said, raising his arms in victory. "I was the first to get to 240."
Miller's svelte frame will help him lead an Illini defense looking to replace All-American middle linebacker J Leman. After playing on the outside last year, Miller shifted over to the middle this spring. He recorded 62 tackles last year, a number that should increase in his new role.
The weight loss could present a problem in training camp, as Miller tries to retain his title as the team's best belly-flopper. A little history: Illinois trains in Rantoul, Ill., a rural town located about 15 miles north of Champaign, and the team practices next to a water park. The players head there during the third week of workouts for the annual competition.
"There's no trees or anything," Miller said. "It's us getting just murdered and mauled every day and then all these kids having a lot of fun at the pool 100 yards away. It's that tempting thing, like, 'Don't cross the gun line' from the movie 'Life.' That's the gun line for us right there. Somebody breaks, they're just gonna be swimming in their pads, like, 'I can't take it, coach.'"
Miller has won the belly-flop competition the last two years and is planning something special this year.
"If done correctly, my back won't even get wet," he said. "Just hit the water and stay on the top."
Could his new lack of padding hurt his chances?
"Dude, I can still throw it down," Miller said. "One time I lost like 35 pounds in college, on purpose, too, and I still had a belly. The belly goes nowhere, just everything else."
