    Lily and the Octopus

    Lily and the Octopus

    by Steven Rowley

    View Details

    “Lily and the Octopus is the dog book you must read this summer…a profound experience.” —The Washington Post
    Combining the emotional depth of The Art of Racing in the Rain with the magical spirit of The Life of Pi, Lily and the Octopus is an epic adventure of the heart. When you sit down with Lily and the Octopus, you will be taken on an unforgettable ride. The magic of this novel is in the read, and we don’t want to spoil it by giving away too many details. We can tell you that this is a story about that special someone: the one you trust, the one you can’t live without. For Ted Flask, that someone special is his aging companion Lily, who happens to be a dog. Lily and the Octopus reminds us how it feels to love fiercely, how difficult it can be to let go, and how the fight for those we love is the greatest fight of all. Remember the last book you told someone they had to read? Lily and the Octopus is the next one.

    Riding Home: The Power of Horses to Heal is the first and only book to scientifically and experientially explain why horses have the extraordinary ability to emotionally transform the lives of thousands of men, women and children, whether they are horse lovers, or suffering from deep psychological wounds.

    It is a book for anyone who wants to experience the joy, wonder, self-awareness and peace of mind that comes from creating a horse/human relationship, and it puts forth and clarifies the principles of today’s Natural Horsemanship (or what was once referred to as “Horse Whispering”).

    Flash: The Homeless Donkey Who Taught Me about Life, Faith, and Second Chances

    Flash: The Homeless Donkey Who Taught Me about Life, Faith, and Second Chances

    by Rachel Anne Ridge and Priscilla Shirer

    View Details

    Rachel Anne Ridge was at the end of her rope. The economy had crashed, taking her formerly thriving business along with it. She had been a successful artist, doing work she loved, but now she felt like a failure. How would her family pay their bills? What would the future hold? If only God would somehow let them know that everything was going to be all right . . . and then Flash the donkey showed up.

    If there is ever a good time to discover a wounded, frightened, bedraggled donkey standing in your driveway, this wasn’t it. The local sheriff dismissed Flash as “worthless.” But Rachel didn’t believe that, and she couldn’t turn him away. She brought Flash into her struggling family during their darkest hour―and he turned out to be the very thing they needed most. Flash is the true story of their adventures together in learning to love and trust; breaking down whatever fences stood in their way; and finding the strength, confidence, and faith to carry on. Prepare to fall in love with Flash: a quirky, unlikely hero with gigantic ears, a deafening bray, a personality as big as Texas, and a story you’ll never forget.

    A Street Cat Named Bob: And How He Saved My Life

    by James Bowen

    View Details

    When street musician James Bowen found an injured cat curled up in the hallway of his apartment building, he had no idea how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London, barely making enough money to feed himself, and the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet James couldn’t resist helping the strikingly intelligent but very sick animal, whom he named Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, imagining that he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas.

    by Abigail Tucker

    View Details

    A lively adventure through history, natural science, and pop culture in search of how cats conquered the world, the Internet, and our hearts.House cats rule back alleys, deserted Antarctic islands, and our bedrooms. Clearly, they own the Internet, where a viral cat video can easily be viewed upwards of ten million times. But how did cats accomplish global domination? Unlike dogs, they offer humans no practical benefit. The truth is they are sadly incompetent rat-catchers and pose a threat to many ecosystems. Yet, we love them still. To better understand these furry strangers in our midst, Abby Tucker travels to meet the breeders, activists, and scientists who’ve dedicated their lives to cats. She visits the labs where people sort through feline bones unearthed from the first human settlements, treks through the Floridian wilderness in search of house cats on the loose, and hangs out with Lil Bub, one of the world’s biggest feline celebrities. Witty, intelligent, and always curious, Tucker shows how these tiny creatures have used their relationship with humans to become one of the most powerful animals on the planet. The appropriate reaction to a cuddly kitten, it seems, might not be aww but awe.

    by Peter Thorne

    A stunning and indelible collection of portraits and stories that capture dogs of a certain age in all their patchy, scruffy, jowly, and devoted glory—an homage to man’s best friend, based on the popular international photography project.

    The dogs in Old Faithful are well worn, well loved, and well on in years. After his grandmother’s 100th birthday party, photographer and dog lover Pete Thorne found himself taking photos of elderly dogs. In their aged, imperfect faces, he saw a depth of life, joy, and wisdom missing from more youthful subjects. He gathered these rich and powerful portraits into a web series he called “Old Faithful.”

    by James Herriot

    View Details

    In All Creatures Great and Small, we meet the young Herriot as he takes up his calling and discovers that the realities of veterinary practice in rural Yorkshire are very different from the sterile setting of veterinary school. Some visits are heart-wrenchingly difficult, such as one to an old man in the village whose very ill dog is his only friend and companion, some are lighthearted and fun, such as Herriot’s periodic visits to the overfed and pampered Pekinese Tricki Woo who throws parties and has his own stationery, and yet others are inspirational and enlightening, such as Herriot’s recollections of poor farmers who will scrape their meager earnings together to be able to get proper care for their working animals. From seeing to his patients in the depths of winter on the remotest homesteads to dealing with uncooperative owners and critically ill animals, Herriot discovers the wondrous variety and never-ending challenges of veterinary practice as his humor, compassion, and love of the animal world shine forth.

    At twenty-two, Julie Barton collapsed on her kitchen floor in Manhattan. She was one year out of college and severely depressed. Summoned by Julie’s incoherent phone call, her mother raced from Ohio to New York and took her home.

    Haunted by troubling childhood memories, Julie continued to sink into suicidal depression. Psychiatrists, therapists, and family tried to intervene, but nothing reached her until the day she decided to do one hopeful thing: adopt a Golden Retriever puppy she named Bunker. Dog Medicine captures the anguish of depression, the slow path to recovery, the beauty of forgiveness, and the astonishing ways animals can help heal even the most broken hearts and minds.

  • Bioslim Review: Does it Work?

    What is it? 

    Bioslim is a weight loss system offering supplements, a cookbook, activity guide, and full reference guide. It claims to offer the nation’s best natural weight loss program that works with your body, instead of forcing the body to lose weight unpleasantly and with much struggle.

    They add that your metabolism will be increased, and that the entire Bioslim system offers a supportive weight loss system. Inside this system you get information on how to exercise and eat properly. They mention that there’s no added stimulants, food substitutes, or unnatural ingredients. It’s claimed to be a long-term solution to weight loss that can support overall health. Are all these claims true? What kinds of effects are truly possible? In this Bioslim review you’ll learn everything you need to know to make a decision.

    Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2016?

    The complete system has 3 supplements. Here are the ingredients added:

    Green Tea
    Cotinus
    Quercetin
    Calcium-pyruvate
    Potassium-Pyruvate

    Coenzyme Q10

    Oriental Ginseng Root
    Atractylodes
    Astralagus

    Licorice Root
    Dong Quai
    Sargassum
    Laminaria

    Inositol

    Bromelain
    Calcium
    Selenium
    Magnesium
    Zinc

    Vitamin A
    Vitamin D
    Vitamin E

    Cotinus: Also known as smoketree, this plant hasn’t been well researched. One study was conducted on fish to test the effects on their growth rate.

    Though it’s used in Bioslim as a way to enhance the absorption of green tea. No studies have shown this effect to be true.  

    Quercetin: Known as a bioflavonoid or vitamin P, it increases the absorption of green tea.

    It can lead to side effects:

    Upset stomach. 

    Headaches. 

    The University of Maryland Medical Center adds that:

    “can lead to a loss of protein function” 

    “Very high doses… may damage the kidneys” 

    So intake of this ingredient should be taken with caution. 

    Coenzyme Q10: Molecule found naturally in their body, it’s used to help produce energy. When added to supplements it’s meant to help with fat burning as well as other effects.

    Though Examine.com confirms that:

    “no evidence that COQ10 improves life expectancy or is able to induce fat loss or muscle tissue growth” 

    Glucomannan: Thickener used to help suppress appetite and improve cholesterol levels.

    Peninsula Medical School ran a clinical study and confirmed:

    “does not show that Glucomannan intake generates statistically significant weight loss” 

    It can also lead to side effects that includes:

    Flatulence and gas. 
    Bloating, stomach discomfort, and dehydration. 
    Diarrhea, increased bathroom usage. 
    Loss of vitamin and mineral absorption.

     Choking and blocking of the esophagus and throat. 

    It’s also advised to drink enough fluids in order to prevent a choking hazard. 

    Atractylodes: Used in Chinese herbal medicine as a way to reduce swelling and improve digestion. Though not enough research is available to prove these claims.

    Web MD mentions:

    “isn’t enough information to know if other atractylodes products are safe” 

    Possible side effects include:

    Dry mouth and a bad taste.
    Nausea. 

    Chinese Thoroughwax: Herb used in Chinese medicine that is used to reduce liver problems and inflammation.

    Web MD confirms:

    “isn’t enough information to know if bupleurum is safe” 

    “none of these (effects) are proven in humans” 

    Side effects may include:

    Drowsiness. 
    Increased bowel movements and gas. 
    Lung and breathing issues. 

    Gardenia: A flower that is grown in parts of Africa and Asia. There are no clinical studies showing whether this is safe or effective for weight loss. 

    Balloon Flower: Roots of this flower are used as medicine. It’s claimed to help with inflammation, cancer, blood sugar, and cholesterol. Though no clinical studies have been performed o humans, and it’s unknown if it is safe or effective. 

    Licorice: Plant used as a flavoring agent. It’s added to help with reducing swelling, and for overall immune system support.

    Web MD adds:

    “Consuming licorice daily for several weeks or longer can cause severe side effects” 

    These side effects can include:

    Low potassium levels. 
    Paralysis. 
    Brain damage. 
    Paralysis. 
    Water and sodium retention. 

    This is why it’s advised to take this with caution and only for short periods. 

    Dong Quai: Plant used as a way to change hormones such as estrogen. Though this effect has not been replicated in humans.

    There’s also a potential fear for carcinogens, Web MD confirms

    “Dong quai contains chemicals that are considered to be cancer-causing” 

    Very little information exists about the use of this ingredient.   

    Sargassum: A brown algae that is fond in tropical oceans across the world.  Though it’s used in Bioslim to help improve thyroid function, no studies of this effect exist online. 

    Laminaria: A type of brown algae found in Japan.  It’s used to help support thyroid function. Web MD adds:

    “POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth” 

    This is because the level of iodine that affects the thyroid can be high enough to cause damage. It’s known that this effect can lead to weight gain and malfunctions.

    There’s also extracts of this that contain arsenic, a poisonous chemical. 

    Inositol: Vitamin like ingredient that is used to help with mood, high blood pressure, triglycerides, and skin disorders.

    Side effects can include:

    Fatigue.
    Headaches and dizziness.
    Nausea. 

    Bromelain: Enzyme extracted from pineapple juice that is used to help with digestion. Side effects can include:

    Diarrhea. 
    Stomach pain and discomfort. 
    Allergic reactions.

    EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven meal replacement such as 18Shake for better results.

    Bioslim Quality Of Ingredients

    Many of the added ingredients in these formulas are either understudied or potentially unsafe.

    Health and science organizations have mentioned that the kinds of effects possible include malfunctioning thyroid, mood swings, headaches, and even brain damage.

    There’s no indication that the makers of Bioslim put any research into these ingredients, as they fail to provide any clinical studies proving their many claims.

    There’s no way to determine what kind of an effect these supplements may have on health.  They also provide no information as to what kind of diet is allowed by the nutritional cookbook.

    The Price and Quality of Bioslim 

    The full Bioslim package comes with 3 supplements, a reference guide for the plan, a video guide, cookbook, and activity planner for $89.95.

    The supplements come in a months supply of their vitamin and mineral complex, 12 day supply of their accelerator weight loss pills, and a months worth of their health support supplement.

    Without knowing what kinds of exercises or foods are allowed, it’s difficult to judge these two important details.

    Though judging from their supplements, there are far too many questionable and untested ingredients. It’s unknown what kind of effect this may have from person to person.

    Business of Bioslim 

    The name of the company is also Bioslim and they can be found via:

    Phone Number: (800) 246-7546 

    Address: 16869 SW 65th Ave #318

    Lake Oswego, Oregon 97035 

    Email: info@bioslim.com

    They currently have 64 complaints on the Consumer Affairs website for a lack of customer satisfaction:

    “even if you do attempt to cancel within the time… (they) continue to bill you anyway” 

    “This is a total scam” 

    “They said they will not refund me” 

    “sucked into this scam by the free trial” 

    Many mention that they used the free trial and tried to cancel within the 14 days allowed, but that the company will often not respond to calls.

    Of the 64 complaints, it’s often repeated that they don’t allow returns and they continue to automatically charge one’s credit card without notification.

    EDITOR’S TIP: For the best results with meal replacement shakes diet our experts recommend to use it at least 5 months. Save your money buying a few bags of meal replacement product.

    Customer Opinions of Bioslim 

    There are reviews on many websites from online customers:

    “I was throwing up” 

    “paid nearly $600 for something that does not work” 

    “products did not work” 

    “caused me to have breathing problems” 

    Customers have listed several extreme health problems. This includes stomach problems, headaches, flu like symptoms, and body discomfort.

    These same customers mention that there was no money back guarantee offered.

    Conclusion – Does Bioslim Work?

    Bioslim might seem like a good option due to its comprehensive sounding solution to weight loss, and its scientific sounding explanations. Though before you make a decision, it’s important to keep in mind the numerous negative reviews from customers. Not only did many say it wasn’t worth it, but there’s been several complaints about the lack of money back return.

    When looking for a diet plan you have to make sure the company reveals information about what foods you’ll eat, and that the supplements offered provide ingredients that have been studied thoroughly. Bioslim fails to provide information about their ingredients, and many of these additives have been shown to be ineffective and potentially dangerous.

    The number 1 ranked weight loss diet plan is the 18 Diet Plan. Not only does it offer an all natural meal replacement and supplement, but also it contains ingredients shown to be safe.

    These ingredients have also been proven by multiple studies to be effective for real noticeable weight loss. This is why many customers have agreed, this plan is easy to use, safe, and effective for real sustained weight loss.

    The 18 Diet Plan is trusted by its manufacturer, and that’s why they back it with a solid 30-day money back guarantee for their supplement and meal replacement.


  • Jul 27, Weight Gain After Fasting. I Feel Like I'm Cursed to be Fat!

    I have gotten pretty good with fasting and can go as long as 30 days without eating with relatively little trouble. MY question, and my problem is, why

  • Why the Best Predictor of Success Is Hard Work

    WomanWorking_400Aptitude tests don’t always get it right. As a result of these exams, many students are put on the wrong track at school. But even with this setback, a student’s hard work can result in higher performance, which can ultimately lead to a successful, fulfilling life. From my book, Grit.

    David was in my freshman algebra class. There were two kinds of algebra classes at Lowell: the accelerated track led to Advanced Placement Calculus by senior year, and the regular track, which I was teaching, didn’t. The students in my class hadn’t scored high enough on Lowell’s math placement exam to get into the accelerated track.

    David didn’t stand out at first. He was quiet and sat toward the back of the room. He didn’t raise his hand a lot; he rarely volunteered to come to the board to solve problems.

    But I soon noticed that every time I graded an assignment, David had turned in perfect work. He aced my quizzes and tests. When I marked one of his answers as incorrect, it was more often my error than his. And, wow, he was just so hungry to learn. In class, his attention was rapt. After class, he’d stay and ask, politely, for harder assignments.

    I began to wonder what the heck this kid was doing in my class.

    Once I understood how ridiculous the situation was, I marched David into the office of my department chair. It didn’t take long to explain what was going on. Fortunately, the chair was a wise and wonderful teacher who placed a higher value on kids than on bureaucratic rules. She immediately started the paperwork to switch David out of my class and into the accelerated track.

    My loss was the next teacher’s gain. Of course, there were ups and downs, and not all of David’s math grades were A’s. “After I left your class, and switched into the more advanced one, I was a little behind,” David later told me. “And the next year, math—it was geometry—continued to be hard. I didn’t get an A. I got a B.” In the next class, his first math test came back with a D.

    “How did you deal with that?” I asked.

    “I did feel bad—I did—but I didn’t dwell on it. I knew it was done. I knew I had to focus on what to do next. So I went to my teacher and asked for help. I basically tried to figure out, you know, what I did wrong. What I needed to do differently.”

    By senior year, David was taking the harder of Lowell’s two honors calculus courses. That spring, he earned a perfect 5 out of 5 on the Advanced Placement exam.

    After Lowell, David attended Swarthmore College, graduating with dual degrees in engineering and economics. I sat with his parents at his graduation, remembering the quiet student in the back of my classroom who ended up proving that aptitude tests can get a lot of things wrong.

    Two years ago, David earned a PhD in mechanical engineering from UCLA. His dissertation was on optimal performance algorithms for the thermodynamic processes in truck engines. In English: David used math to help make engines more efficient. Today, he is an engineer at the Aerospace Corporation. Quite literally, the boy who was deemed “not ready” for harder, faster math classes is now a “rocket scientist.”

  • WeightNot Review: Does it Work?

    What is it? 

    WeightNot is a weight loss diet plan made to help people through natural foods, supplements, coaching, and online tools. They claim to offer fast and healthy results, through a full lifestyle change.

    Their program is offered in 3 unique stages. The first is for detoxification, the second is to reset ones metabolism, and the 3rd is for restoring digestive health. There are a lot of layers to each stage, and it’s offered in 2 versions, with one offering even faster results. They claim losing weight quickly is the best solution for long-term weight loss. Are there any benefits to using the WeightNot plan? What kinds of results have customers experienced? You’ll learn everything you need to know about WeightNot in this review.

    Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2016?

    WeightNot Ingredients and Side Effects 

    A long list of supplements are offered, though the company does not offer a list of these ingredients until after you purchase one of their plans.

    Although they claim it’s all natural, stimulant free, and prescription free, it’s still important to know what kind of ingredients are used.

    Ingredients even if natural have to be added in specific amounts. There’s a potential for unwanted side effects when you take random amounts of ingredients.

    EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven meal replacement such as 18Shake for better results.

    WeightNot Quality Of Ingredients 

    It’s impossible to determine the quality without first looking at the ingredients.

    Customers mentioned online that there’s a detox blend, a supplement for liver health, and fiber blends. Though it’s never revealed exactly what’s inside and in what amounts.  There are also other supplements but it’s unknown what they’re for.

    Web MD advises to:

    “keep in mind that research gives many of them (supplements) mixed reviews” 

    “In some cases, there isn’t a lot of science to back up the claims and some have health risks” 

    Therefore, it’s critically important to know what you’re getting before you make a purchase. The possibility for side effects is a major issue, and investing money into random supplements is not advised.

    It truly doesn’t make sense to purchase a full package without first knowing what you’re getting.

    The Price and Quality of WeightNot 

    There’s 2 separate programs offered, and each one has a different price:

    Fast Thintervention “Reflex”: Sold for $5 a day and comes with:

    Email and online support, including apps and access to forums. 
    Collection of recipes and information about dieting stages. 
    Tips for exercise and nutrition. 

    To begin using this program you have to sign up for at least a month long trial. So a 30-day would cost $150. 

    Faster Thintervention “Intensive”: This is sold for $10 a day. It combines all the features from the Reflex program, but it includes extra tools:

    Faster detox plan. 
    Phone or video coaching. 
    Text and phone support. 
    A menu made specifically for one’s needs. 
    Advanced diet sequence 

    This plan is only available for a minimum of 2 to 6 months. So at it’s longest it can cost upwards of $1,600 or more, and that’s without adding taxes. Some customers also mentioned that they paid around $2,000 for this service.

    Also, a lot of the support isn’t thoroughly explained. They fail to mention what kind of certification the coaches who offer support have. It’s unknown if the text and video support are actually from certified dieticians.

    Taking advice from someone who doesn’t know about health isn’t recommended. Also, taking online and phone advice isn’t as valuable as direct one on one support.

    The help offered is also not described in detail. It’s unknown what they mean by “Advanced diet sequence”, and they fail to properly describe their detox plan.

    The reason for the lack of information is because the company is holding unto their diet advice, expecting potential users to purchase these plans on the good faith of the company. It’s because of this that this diet plan isn’t of very good quality. You just won’t know before you go into it what it calls for.

    According to customers:

    “The bulk of the program actually sees you on an 810 calorie per day diet” 

    “a good deal of these calories come from the various supplements you take” 

    So you’re greatly restricted to a minimal amount of calories. Unfortunately, this is not a long-term solution to weight loss as the diet suggests.

    Web MD mentions that this kind of dieting:

    “in the long-run, very low-calorie diets aren’t more effective than more modest diets” 

    This goes against the company’s claims that this is a long-term solution for weight loss. Web MD also adds: 

    “Very low-calorie diets are not ok for everyone” 

    They advise you talk to your doctor before limiting yourself to the amount of calories allowed by this plan.  So the recommendation that this plan is safe for everyone is also not true. Taking the advice of the customer support staff is also not advised, as they are not certified to hand out dietary advice.

    Business of WeightNot 

    The name of the company is also WeightNot; they have customer support staff available via:

    Phone Number: (855) 934-4486 

    Address: 7801 Norfolk Ave, Suite 115

    Bethesda, Maryland 20814 

    Email: Support@WeightNot.com

    They have multiple negative reviews on the way they handle customers. They are also featured on the website Scambook as well as the Better Business Bureau website. Here’s what people have had to say:

    “received a charge on my credit card without my knowledge” 

    “have not heard a word since I ordered” 

    “extremely rude and condescending towards me” 

    “trying desperately to resolve the issue with the merchant” 

    Several customers were extremely disappointed with the company. Many have had to argue with the staff due to their bad attitudes and lack of support.

    They also do not offer a money back guarantee, so once you’re locked into a contract you have to deal with what’s given. Many mention that they couldn’t take their supplements due to their doctor’s orders, even though the customer representatives claim their supplements would be OK to use.

    There were complaints about being deceived and offered health advice from people who have no background in health and nutrition. This can be potentially dangerous especially when one has unique health concerns. Customers have advised not to work with this company due to the lack of support.

    EDITOR’S TIP: For the best results with meal replacement shakes diet our experts recommend to use it at least 5 months. Save your money buying a few bags of meal replacement product.

    Customer Opinions of WeightNot 

    There are reviews about the supplements as well from customers:

    “I was throwing up at night” 

    “pills smell horrible and make me nauseated” 

    “violently vomiting for the first three days” 

    “I was dizzy, I had shortness of breathe, and I broke out into cold sweats” 

    For certain people the supplements offered caused serious side effects. These users experienced symptoms of vomiting, nausea, headache’s and flu like symptoms. Though the supplements are all natural, this doesn’t mean that they’re all safe.

    Unfortunately, users also mentioned that the company does not offer a listing of their ingredients before you make a purchase. So if there is an ingredient you might be allergic to or not able to process well, you wouldn’t be offered a refund.

    No money back return policy is offered on their supplements. So you have to take a change in trying this product before knowing whether or not it would be safe to use.

    Conclusion – Does WeightNot Work?

    Before you decide on the WeightNot diet plan, consider the fact that you won’t know what you’re getting before you buy it, and that customers have listed various side effects. This plan does emphasize fast results and all natural foods, though this same structure can be found in many other plans.

    WeightNot suffers from a lack of important information. They don’t explain what kinds of foods you’ll eat, nor do they have support staff that are registered dieticians. Many customers have also complained that they weren’t allowed refunds, and that they were locked into month long contracts. Some plans can even have you locked into a 6-month plan.

    A better solution would be to use a plan that’s described in detail before you purchase it, and a plan that’s been rated highly by customers. One such strategy you can use is the 18 Diet Plan.  Not only did customers experience safe and long lasting weight loss, but also they did so knowing full well what they were purchasing.

    This plan comes with an all-natural weight loss supplement made with clinically researched ingredients. You can also read about all their ingredients because they actually offer a full supplements facts list. Also, there’s an appetite suppressing high quality meal replacement shake that’s made with easy to digest whey protein. No added fillers, binders, or preservatives are added, and their products are stimulant free as well as all natural.

    You also get access to an eBook that goes over the proper way to use a meal replacement diet. With the 18 Diet Plan you get the satisfaction of knowing exactly what it involves, and an ironclad money back guarantee on all the products offered. Not only were customers satisfied with their weight loss results, but they also experienced results without a fear of not knowing what would be in store for them.
