Setting Small Goals on Your Weight Loss Journey

Friday, September 30, 2005

We’ve all gone too bed one night and told ourselves “Tomorrow, I’m going to start eating healthy and exercising every day”. Many of us have also done it: thrown out all our junk food, bought a gym membership, and taken other big steps. The problem is that most of us have reverted to our old lifestyles within a week. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither is a healthy body. The key to making permanent lifestyle changes is to make small, achievable goals and stick to them. When most people decide to lose weight, they set goals like “I will lose two (Read more)

Put on a Happy Face! (Theme party that is!)

Friday, September 30, 2005

Sometimes there is not any specific reason to host a party. After all, it isn’t anyone’s birthday. It isn’t an anniversary or even any Hallmark holiday. It is time like this that the Happy Face theme party works the best. Happy face is a generic pop culture icon that reminds us that regardless of how bad things seem, there is always something to smile about. And getting together for with your friends for a happy face theme party is really no exception. Start off with smiles on your invitations. I generally send my invitations attached to the back of large round sugar (Read more)

The trial of former Volkswagen human resources executive Peter Hartz has ended on Friday, January 26. And the verdict? Hartz received a two-year suspended sentence and a fine. The bribery and corruption case of Peter Hartz was feasted on by journalists and camera teams with matching angry protesters outside the courthouse in the town of Braunschweig. Peter Hartz was a former top manager of Volkswagen and a member of the IG Metall trade union and the Social Democratic Party (SPD). He was also a special advisor to Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (SPD). He devised the draconian labor market (Read more)

Affordable Classic Volkswagen

Friday, September 30, 2005

After the big success of the Volkswagen Beetle in the 1960s, the German automaker has resurrected the idea of an on-and off-road car and christened it the Type 181 “Thing”. The “thing” was inspired by the World War II Type 82 Kübelwagen and was updated using the Beetle baseline engine and running gear but this time with a beefier Transporter/Microbus suspension. Also along the lines of the Kübelwagen was its Dumpsteresque yet practical styling. Its simple doors and standard soft top is easy to remove while its windshield can be folded flat. The rear-engine, (Read more)

Graduation Theme Party Ideas for Your Graduate

Friday, September 30, 2005

Receiving a diploma is a coming-of-age ritual that deserves some attention and that is why a Graduation theme party is such a great idea. Whether your special someone has graduated from grade school, high school, or college, they have passed a milestone in life that should never go unnoticed. While hosting a graduation theme party for a younger child is not much different than throwing a birthday party or other random get-together, having a guest list of adults and young adults can be just a bit trickier to plan. For the high school or college graduate there tends to be a guest list that (Read more)

Artificial Intelligent Computers Cannot Help Humans Think, Exercise or Diet?

Friday, September 30, 2005

Many people just cannot stand the thought of Artificial Intelligent Computers surpassing mankind in intelligent and some say it will never happen. I say well if that is not the biggest bunch of BS, fundamentalism and blindness I have ever heard in my entire life, then surely I do not know what is. As the operator of an Online Think Tank we get all sorts of folks e-mailing us their predictions, thoughts, observations and Biblical Scriptures as proof of their premise. Great I say, but when such jaded opinion smacks of non-sense, well I just have to tell you about it, as you probably know. (Read more)

Milton Friedman and Plato; Can We Really Compare?

Friday, September 30, 2005

Not long ago our Online Think Tank had considered the perfect Utopia and all the philosophical debates from Plato’s Republic and Atlantis to Thomas Jefferson to Milton Friedman. In fact we took a gander studying many civilizations such as the Byzantine Empire, Aztec Civilization, Greeks, Romans, Chinese Dynasties and well you get the idea. We study economies, trade routes, slavery, colonization, Dictatorships, Communism, Feudalism, Socialism and present period first world nations. Recently, I read an interesting assessment comparing Friedman VS. Plato (Read more)

Weight Loss for the Long Term

Friday, September 30, 2005

Yo-Yo Dieting. The weight comes off, and before long, it’s back and you have a few additional pounds to go along with it. You start over, get all that weight off, and it comes back, with yet more weight. The process goes on and on in a continuous, never ending circle that overweight people often consider a never ending nightmare. People who have never had to endure a weight problem just don’t understand. They think that overweight people lack control, and this just is not true in most cases. The problem isn’t the person, or even the eating habits in most cases - the (Read more)

Have You Heard Of The China Adoption Connection

Friday, September 30, 2005

The majority of the children adopted were girls, ranging in age from infant to six years old. Typically, the youngest child up for adoption is eight to eleven months old. However, there are children with special needs, as well as older children. The children in China who are waiting to be adopted live in orphanages. It takes approximately 15-18 months to receive a referral for a China adoption. The referral follows a home study that must be done along with your dossier submission to China. When you receive your referral, you will also receive a picture and a short medical history of the (Read more)

Alternative Energy Innovators; Do Not Kill the Messenger

Friday, September 30, 2005

Not long ago I was discussing the use of a new wind generator system, which would be a huge project in a constantly windy canyon and this giant project would span across the entire canyon. The other day he emailed the Online Think Tank to look at this project, we rendered our findings and discussed the reality of the permitting, EIR legality and bureaucracy barriers. Unfortunately, upon hearing this he went ballistic on us. After calming down he profusely apologized, I sent him an email back; Do not worry about it! One thing I learned in sports; is to channel that energy and save it for (Read more)
