It's no contest. The sea pig has everything a mere cat lacks: it's cute and adorable, it's pink, and it's got tentacles. Once you've gone holothurian, you'll never go…uh, I'm sure the local poet will be along to provide a catchy rhyme.

It's no contest. The sea pig has everything a mere cat lacks: it's cute and adorable, it's pink, and it's got tentacles. Once you've gone holothurian, you'll never go…uh, I'm sure the local poet will be along to provide a catchy rhyme.
(Also on Sb)
The closest rhyme I can think of is Epicurean.
Why, I was just extolling the many virtues of the sea-pig yesterday in class. What could be cooler than a bilaterally symmetrical motile animal with radially symmetrical sessile ancestors with bilaterally symmetrical motile ancestors with possibly-radially-symmetrical sessile ancestors? They have reinvented walking legs. Essentially scaled-up tardigrades without the exoskeleton. So, so cool.
Almost as cool as yer pelagic swimming sea cukes.
The closest rhyme I can think of is Epicurean.
An adventuresome, bold Epicurean
Thought he'd whip up some friend holothurian
His attempts, though, at makin'
Delicious sea-bacon
All failed. So sea-pigs, stop worryin'
Honored to have been of assistance, Mr. Cuttlefish, but would sea-pig count as one of those excessive delicacies Epicureans are admonished to avoid? :)
You know, that thing made me think of the burgess shale fossil hallucigenia. that is a good thing! Fossilized animals are cute by definition. Especially ordovician sea scorpions.
Meh not too impressed by the sea pigs. Sea Angels however are kind of cute:
While I tapped at a text editor, Cuttlefish beat me to the poem. Here's my attempt anyway:
Ode to Eating Sea Cuke
Just stop your worryin'
and go holothurian;
the texture is burry 'n'
It's no worse than durian;
a true Epicurean
eats them with curry 'n'
Ahem. Sorry, I guess I'll leave it to the pros. But for the record, I have eaten raw sea cucumber, smothered in hot sauce, at a Korean restaurant (and dang it if "Korean" doesn't *almost* make for a good additional rhyme…).
Mmm, rubbery stuff. Not as crunchy as jellyfish.
Cuttlefish | 8 October 2011 at 2:03 pm:
An adventuresome, bold Epicurean
Thought he'd whip up some friend holothurian
His attempts, though, at makin'
Delicious sea-bacon
All failed. So sea-pigs, stop worryin'
(Emphasis mine.)
Er, friend?
"Adventuresome, bold Epicurean" tried to cook a friend?
I've heard tell of people cannibalizing a fellow raftmate when lost far out to sea, or a fellow pioneer when trapped by deep snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains, but eating a friend for the sake of "adventure"?
The French composer Erik Satie wrote Embryons desséchés ("Desiccated embryos"), a suite of three short pieces for piano. The first is D'Holothurie, "Desiccated embryo of a Holothurian."
Music to stroke your pet cephalopod or holothurian by.
Wait until they become accessories for socialites like Paris Hilton
We'll see them all over the place. Smaller and more convenient than a dog, and clammier too!
Aww, they're all pink and adorable!
I love the cat purring in my lap, but I kind of also want a sweet little sea pig in a tank.
I don't think Satie is right, this looks more like it needs some old Barry White tunes :)
PZ Myers,
What is the point of these Anti-Caturday posts anyway? What does the word Caturday mean anyway?
But do sea pigs barf all over the bath mat, leaving a present for you to discover as you stumble barefoot towards the toilet at oh-dark-hundred?
Saturday is Caturday for cat lovers. There are three possibilities that I can think of for Anti-Caturday:
1) PZ opposes all cuteness
2) PZ tries to keep up his appearances as a baby-eating atheist internet overlord
3) it's a willy-waving contest with non-blogger Jerry Coyne who has Caturday regularly in his non-blog Why Evolution Is True
Oh so, Caturday, means funny pictures of cats? Interesting.
um..I could very well be wrong but I think Caturday started on icanhascheezburger.com
I admit I didn't read the actual text this time. So anti-cuteness is refuted. Other possibilities:
- PZ hates cats (but it would shameful for a biologist to hate an entire species IMO)
- PZ wants to challenge fluffonormative views of cuteness
What do you have, John Morales?
Cute, but it's no "Barry the worm".
Another alternative: PZ likes to be a contrarian. That's not a problem though. I do myself at times. It's quite fun. Does anyone know what the little swimming things are under the beastie?
What do you have, John Morales?
An unfettered imagination, and no need to speculate. :)

I try to avoid slip bobbers as much as possible. I use a-just-a bubbles more than any other type of bobber or floaters. They work extremely well (and they're made in the USA)!
Posted By slipperybob on 25 Sep 2010 03:04 PM There's lots of benefits to slip bobbers. You can pitch it to thick cover like lilly pads or brush and have your jig fall straight down into the spot you choose vs the extension end on a normal fixed bobber that might've tangle up on the structure. You can cast a slip bobber on very windy days and never worry about line tangle and get more distance vs the fixed bobber where the lure and bobber might be dancing and tangling in the wind. You can set a slip bobber for depths like 10-15 feet where it's very unlikely that you can accomplish that on a fixed bobber on a cast. The bobber type one uses, determines a lot of fishing style to be used. That's a reason why I choose to use a slip bobber a lot. I sometimes like to use even a very small slip bobber as a floater to help keep my line above water for bottom rigs. Even when setting a slip bobber and fishing a sharp drop off from 5 to 20 feet. I can set it to like 10 feet deep and pull till the lure would just hang off the bottom, on the slope where it's a high strike zone. After I catch a fish, I can repeat the same method repeatedly with ease. Without the slip bobber I would have to repeatedly drag my lure through several more casts and retrieves vs just that one cast with the slip bober. Lot's of methods to be explored with teh slip bobber and uses. It can get very techinical if I get into the nitty gritty of how I go about employing my madness methods. Yet, in it's simplicity, it works very well as a tool for catching fish.
Posted By Pegsguy on 27 Sep 2010 09:41 AM A bit off topic, but I'd like to point out that Adjust-A-Bubble floats can be rigged as a slip bobber! Tom

U.S. Trails in Adopting Value-based Healthcare
The United States faces major obstacles in taking advantage of "value-based healthcare"-one of the most promising developments in healthcare, according to a new study by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
BCG assessed the progress of 12 developed-world countries in adopting value-based healthcare, an approach to better controlling healthcare costs by improving health outcomes while maintaining or lowering cost. The results of the assessment appear in a report titled Progress Toward Value-Based Health Care: Lessons From 12 Countries.
The assessment evaluates national health systems along two dimensions, explains Neil Soderlund, a BCG partner and coauthor of the report. The first is the degree to which key supports of value-based healthcare are in place at the national level-for example, common national standards and IT infrastructure, national legal and consent frameworks, the ability to link health outcomes with costs, and high engagement on the part of clinicians and policymakers. The second is the quality of a country's existing disease registries (institutions that track selected health outcomes in a population of patients with the same diagnosis or who have undergone the same medical procedure), both in terms of the richness of the data and the sophistication of the medical community's use of the data.

Western Massachusetts' purveyors of all things heavy THE ACACIA STRAIN have confirmed the addition of second guitarist Jonathan Dennison (UNHOLY, ANOTHER VICTIM, PATH OF RESISTANCE, SANTA SANGRE) to the group's ranks. The band will depart for a headlining tour later this fall with support coming from DESPISED ICON, FULL BLOWN CHAOS and THE TONY DANZA TAPDANCE EXTRAVAGANZA.
"I couldn't be happier with our decision," comments THE ACACIA STRAIN frontman Vincent Bennett. "In my eyes, J.D. is the ideal choice. Everyone is really excited to have him on board and we can't wait to see what he has to offer this band. We're wicked excited for this tour. I've wanted to tour with all of these bands forever, and we finally are. We are going to be playing some songs that we haven't played in forever or haven't been able to play due to the lack of a second guitar and will be showcasing a new song or two. Sorry to our friends in the Great White North though, we are seriously trying to stay away from those dangerous snow-covered roadways. I promise we will make it up to you when the warmer weather hits. See everyone in November and December!"

Yesterday on the Today Show, Meredith Viera interviewed Cheryl Kilodavis and her self-described "princess boy," Dyson, age 5 (left). Dyson likes to dress up like a princess, wearing tutus and lots of pink. His mom used to push back against her son's inclinations, trying to redirect him toward trucks and other boyish things. But then her older son said, "Why can't you just let him be happy, mom?" She realized that her discomfort with her son's interests were more about her than about him. She has since allowed him to dress and play however he wants and wrote a children's book called "My Princess Boy" to help other kids and parents who may face a similar situation.
Personally, I'm behind Dyson and allowing him to play however he wants, wear whatever he wants, go to school in tutus, or whatever. Lord knows my boys have enjoyed the not-so-occasional twirl in a fairy or ballerina outfit (see exhibits A and B below).
I was a little conflicted, though, thinking about Dyson's mom. I guess I can understand writing a children's book: The project grew out of her attempts to explain her situation in writing, and I can see how parents and kids reading it together could increase tolerance and understanding of difference. Of course, it's not as if such books don't already exist—"Oliver Button is a Sissy," about a ballet-dancing little boy who gets teased, is a regular in our reading rotation—but I can understand wanting to add another book to the canon, especially one with an African-American hero. Also, Dyson's name and picture and not included in the book, so he maintains some anonymity.
But then, seeing this vulnerable little boy on national television made me feel uncomfortable. It's one thing to dress and act and play however you want, and even to face your friends and teachers at school and in public and make them accept you for who you are—I support all of that, even posting the pictures on Facebook or, ahem, a little local blog. But taking that little boy on national television, broadcasting his face and name, seemed to push the boundaries. Part of the reason I think it's good for kids to express themselves however they feel is that they're still trying things out, figuring out who they are. In five years, Dyson might still love dressing up like a princess and that would be great. But he might not, and he might not like being known as "Princess Boy" for the rest of his life.
I think Dyson's mom had mostly great intentions, but I couldn't help but feel like a tiny bit of her was using the situation to her financial advantage. To me, I think the line would have been taking my little boy on national TV. When Meredith Viera asked him to twirl around a second time, my heart sank. This felt exploitative. And I really hope that all of his mother's best efforts aren't going t make things even harder for her adorable little Princess Boy.

If the sitting president was an (R) instead of a (D), we all know that the shrill screech of the domestic and international MSM would be demanding the "war criminal" of a president be hung from the highest tree outside the ICC, and a daily barrage of American "atrocities" would be plastered on front pages and evening "news" shows in a non-stop "Impeach him!!!" campaign.

Even if the kill numbers in Pakistan aren´t accurate,the drone strikes have displaced a lot of citizens fleeing the strike areas and causing a refugee problem.I also have a problem with us violating another country´s airspace/borders without permission of their government.But yeah,Bush´s phone intercepts are a much bigger problem for the left than open murder of civilians.One of the reasons the Iraq war dragged out was because Bush didn´t want civilian casualties but that hasn´t stopped the left from claiming he killed up to a million of them.

There is nothing new under the sun. These are the same arguments deployed against our use of manned aircraft.And no offense, #2, but the part of Pakistan most of these strikes occur in is only nominally a part of Pakistan. It asserts no real control over the area, and its sovereignty is largely limited to the fantasies of the atlas publishers.Refuge problem, heh.

CLEVELAND (AP) - A person familiar with the negotiations says the Cleveland Browns have signed rookie running back Trent Richardson to a four-year, $20.5 million contract.
The sides completed the deal, which includes a $13.3 million signing bonus, on Monday night said the person who spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the Browns haven't announced the signing.
With Richardson under contract, the Browns will now focus on getting a deal done with rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden, who wants all four years guaranteed.
The Browns traded up in April's draft to select Richardson with the No. 3 pick. The former Alabama star will report to training camp Tuesday and will be on the field Wednesday with Cleveland's other first-year players and some select veterans.

Leather punch set used for punching various sized holes in leather. Uses a rotating wheel to select punch size.
I seldom need a Leather Punch. So, I have never owned one. I have just used a nail, and block of wood. Saw the price on this, and thought, "It would be nice to have clean round holes ... and there's not much to a Leather Punch. So, why spend more?" The first disappointment ... when I opened the packaging, the locking latch on the side did not work to lock it shut. The rivet holding the two handles together, was not tight enough. So, the locking latch did not line up with the handle, and just spun in circles. The first time I used it. It just made a circular mark on the leather, but no hole. So, I tried again, and pressed harder. I felt the cheap metal handles give a bit, but it made a nice hole ... by the third hole, the handles had bent to the point they were touching each other!?!? Three nice holes, and into the garbage.

Network World - This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter's approach.
Employees keep turning to rogue cloud services, storing and sharing highly sensitive information in the public cloud despite IT's warnings about the dangers, and despite story after story that validates those warnings.
The rise of the rogue cloud isn't always an innocent mistake by happy-go-lucky but otherwise responsible users. Nearly one-fourth of the respondents (23%) in the IDC Innovation Imperative research commissioned by CA Technologies said innovation projects were frequently pursued stealthily, where IT was consciously and deliberately shut out of the projects.
[MORE CLOUDS: Rogue clouds giving IT staffs nightmares]
Despite obvious dangers, we should view the rogue cloud as a positive thing and use it to IT's advantage. It's an opportunity for us to learn what's really important to the business. People are using the rogue cloud because it solves real problems that IT hasn't addressed. We should embrace that, and not seek to control or stop it. In the long run, I see rogue projects as a natural evolution in the iterative life cycle of corporate IT.
Here's why. Business units want to focus on business goals — sales, accounting, marketing, manufacturing — and not waste their time on managing technology, even when it's easy to do, such as with SaaS. Right now the rogue cloud is the shiny new thing. My sense is that it won't be long before users discover that managing the sprawl of SaaS apps and other cloud services detract from their core competencies. Guess who they'll call to take over these efforts? Hint: It won't be Ghostbusters.
That's not to say we can or should ignore the security threat of the rogue cloud. There is real short-term danger, and IT should be paying attention. But there's nothing new to these sorts of risks. We've seen these problems before, with the emergence of the PC and, later, with webmail, instant messaging, smartphones, tablets, and consumer driven IT. The average Joe has access to powerful, globally connected personal technology. They use it just as they would a pen or notepad that they brought from home.
When it comes to the business innovations made possible by rogue cloud computing, however, the risks are growing. To manage this, IT has to A) recognize the expansion of the rogue cloud, B) innovate approaches that help the business manage the risk, while C) recognizing the benefits users are getting from it, and D) find ways to securely deliver those benefits to the organization at large. In doing so, the rogue cloud becomes an inspiration, a skunk works, instead of a threat.
Let's say a U.S. developer needs to send a zip file that contains a folder tree of source code to a colleague in India. Many email systems filter or bounce messages with zip attachments, because zips can be a malware vector. What does the U.S. developer do?
He doesn't have time to go through the process of getting a login to the corporate FTP site. This goes double if he or his pal in India are third-party contractors. So it's not surprising when he turns to the rogue cloud and delivers the file using Dropbox or something similar, and risks the theft of confidential corporate data.

Starting in 2007, Indiana teenager Jordan Witzigreuter began retreating to his parent's basement to record songs that straddled the border between melodic emo-pop and bubbly electronica. Although he adopted a name for the project -- the Ready Set -- Witzigreuter took a solo approach to the songs, which he recorded and performed entirely by himself. Within two years, he'd landed a contract with Decaydance Records, who paired him up with a number of veteran emo producers (including Zack Odom, Kenneth Mount, and Matt Squire) to record a debut album. The result was I'm Alive, I'm Dreaming, which appeared in 2010. For the 2011 EP Feel Good Now, Witzigreuter teamed up with producer Ian Kirkpatrick and the occasional songwriting partner, including Kara DioGuardi. ~ Andrew Leahey

Michael Creese was born in Chicago, Illinois, and studied art at Carnegie Mellon University, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. He paints in the oil impasto style, a technique used in art where paint is laid thickly on canvas, leaving visible brush (or palette knife) strokes. When dry, impasto provides a great deal of texture to the finished painting. He also works with several other mediums in addition to oils.

Look at this one!
Look at this cuteness that Carla Lyon dropped off at my office today. Carla is an MVP's at our weekend sewing sessions. She has been at almost every one we have had sewing even the most veteran sewer under the table. Not only that but she has donated many dozen yards of fabric to help us with our mission.
I love this style of hat so I had to take a picture and show this to you. I think this is the first one I have seen that is crocheted.
I am not much of a crocheter, but, if you look at it it does not seem too hard to make. It is simply a single crochet. It appears to have been done "In the round". Is that possible in crochet? That shows you that I am a knitter, This has got to be cute as heck when you get it on a tiny head.
Here is the rest of the set. Thanks Carla, for all you do.

Tips & Secrets to Forecasting
- by
Celeste Teal
Remember, first of all, that if you're interested in forecasting trends or events, you really must apply some traditional astrology concepts. With our new age search for the psychological and spiritual implications of planets we hesitate to apply terms such as malefic or benefic, but to toss these descriptive images altogether will decrease the ability to pinpoint probable events.
Actually, if one can target the most likely physical or earth plane manifestation shown in the aspects, it helps tremendously in knowing where to apply a remedy. Left to their own, the combined planetary energies have a natural "tendency" to work out in a way that allows them the most expression. However, this isn't always desirable and since each aspect contains multiple potentials, with some conscious direction, you can get more mileage out of one aspect and corral another. If a problem area is located, you can pull out all the tools and put them to work. An illness can be circumvented or an accident avoided by applying the proper antidote to the root of a problem.
The truth is that a majority of stressful aspects or aspects involving malefic planets in the progressed chart shows a time of challenge while a majority of benefic planetary configurations show a fruitful and easy period.
For any specific time period, there won't be more than a handful of "active" aspects in the progressed chart. Each of these describes part of the current picture and each must be considered against the remaining aspects to find the major overall theme for the time period. These are the road conditions.
To begin, using Win Star or a program with similar capabilities, run a three-wheel chart with the natal chart in the center, the secondary progressions in the middle wheel and transits in the outer wheel. I prefer the Tri-Small Wheel because the precise positions of the planets are shown in all three wheels, making it easy to locate aspects that are forming. Be sure the progressions and transits are set for the location of the date in question. Set preferences for the tropical zodiac and Placidus house system.
The "active" aspects are those that have formed between the natal and progressed planets within a one-degree orb; slightly more for the Sun and Moon. Aspects that have formed involving the angles within a one-degree orb are highest priority and most significant of eventful times approaching.
First of all, find major aspects to the natal Ascendant from progressed planets that are with a one-degree orb. If it is the Sun or Moon, give a one and a half degree orb. Make a note of it. Do the same with the natal Midheaven. Then go to the progressed Ascendant and check for aspects it makes to planets in the natal chart or to planets in the progressed chart. Not finding a whole lot, right? Ok, do the same with the progressed Midheaven. These are the top priority aspects and these angular aspects indicate important crossroads, with hard aspects more indicative of major changes and activity than easy aspects.
Now, do any of those angular aspects involve the Sun? If so, that is emphasizing a trend for important events already. Which planets are in aspect to the angles? Is it the natal chart ruler or an important planet from the nativity? Which natal house does it rule? Put this in parenthesis because when a house ruler becomes active, it means activity involving the issues of that house are coming due. Finally, what does that active planet say in terms of tradition? For example, which would you rather have; an active Venus or an active Mars? If you were planning a wedding, Venus is great but if you wanted to start a new venture, Mars is a must. At worst, Venus is indulgent and Mars is selfish. Venus is looking for social times and Mars is looking for competition. Venus signifies women's affairs, Mars shows masculine interests.
Before going on, you must keep in mind that for any significant event to unfold, the aspects must suggest it at least three times. This is for good or bad. For major events, the aspects will point to it in many ways. For example, if progressed Venus were conjunct the progressed Midheaven while in trine to natal Mars, both aspects are spotlighting romance possibilities. If the ruler of the fifth house also came prominently into view, and you're single, you can just about count on it! A transit would then show when.
So, to continue, we have the first set of active aspects and have an idea of what the planets are saying. If it is the Midheaven involved in the aspects, the indications are of a Solar nature. The event is likely to be related to self-esteem, character, honor and career goals, similar to the Sun. Here, one is thrown into the limelight for better or worse. If it is the Ascendant involved in aspects, there's a more lunar theme and events more likely to be personal in nature, with an accent on home and family matters.
Go next to the Sun, first the natal Sun and find aspects to the progressed planets. Then to the progressed Sun and find aspects it forms to either a natal or a progressed planet. These are dynamic aspects! The Sun is always active when major events are forthcoming and may show special "once in a lifetime" opportunities. At this point, check the relationship of transiting Saturn to the progressed Sun. This is an important indicator and may substantiate findings already, one way or another. While looking at transiting Saturn, also check the aspectual relationship it holds to the progressed Moon. With Saturn, the easy relationships to the lights show times of great forward strides in a business or material way and the hard aspects show challenge. It is also a good idea to check the relationship of transiting Uranus to the progressed luminaries.
Continue to make notes of the remaining planetary aspects, going next to the natal chart ruler. Aspects of the progressed Moon are very transitory, lasting only about three months and they furnish a lot of detail and fine tuning to your reading.
Now, bring in the transits beginning with Pluto. See if it is making a close contact to any of the active points or planets. Go through the outer planets down to Jupiter and then see what area of the chart the transiting North Node spotlights.
At this point you should be able to come to some determination as to what is signified. Taking a stab at forecasting will often give you some surprising results and practice helps. Jot down your key impressions as they come to you. By the time you've gone through the whole chart, some of your impressions will be reinforced. Ask these questions; what kind of aspect comes up most often and which planet comes up most often? Is the ruler of one particular house exceptionally active? For good or bad?
Remember that each planet signifies more than just one thing; for example, the Sun rules vitality as well as life purpose, so aspects it forms points to both health and passion for life. It also shows how things are going with the important masculine people in your life, including your dad and your husband if you are a woman.
The final say on whether your forecast is accurate will be found in the center of your wheel, in the natal chart. If an event is to come to pass, it will be suggested there among the natal placements and aspects.

Rolling with Ruby on Rails, Part 2 | |
Subject: | "Showing recipes in a category" code | |
Date: | 2005-04-05 12:45:39 | |
From: | co_banzai | |
Response to: "Showing recipes in a category" code
Yeah, I got the same error. I found that I had to make a couple changes to get this working.
Showing messages 1 through 1 of 1.
"Showing recipes in a category" code
2005-04-22 03:38:42 xeal [View]
I also think that using the recipe.category.id field is better - after all the recipe.category.name might not be unique.
And the code simplifies, so you can write the whole RecipeController.list method as:
def list
@recipes = Recipe.find_all(@params["category_id"] ? ("category_id = " + @params["category_id"]) : nil)
The code above passes to Recipe.find_all a category_id, if @params["category_id"] is not empty or nil otherwise.
Of course, the statement from list.rhtml that renders the category needs to be changed as:
<%= link_to recipe.category.name, :action => "list", :category_id => recipe.category.id %>

In the heightened nervous state of adrenal burnout, the body overproduces adrenaline, Cortisol and other stress hormones. Eventually, this causes the adrenal glands, the front line in the stress reaction, to show wear and tear and become depleted. This frequently leads to impairment in the thyroid gland, which can cause a further decline in energy level and mood. This is one of the reasons why so many women have thyroid glands that don't work well.
The first step is to exercise. Taking personal time for you in of itself is a great stress reducer but when that time involves exercise the benefit is two fold. Simply going from out of shape to fit reduces stress levels by increasing a sense of well being and self confidence.
Feeling confused and overwhelmed is a common stress symptom and through exercise the blood flow to your brain is improved, bringing additional sugars and oxygen and a sense of wellbeing. This increased blood flow also brings the precious endorphin. The post workout endorphins are chemicals secreted by the body after intense exercise and they make you feel great. They are a legal and healthy "high", a gift from Mother Nature.
How to exercise to reduce stress is a common question that is easy to answer. The required amount of exercise time required to decrease your stress level is minimal. If you want to only apply moderate intensity to your exercise regime, then 30 minutes of walking or other exercise 5 times a week works perfectly. For those that like to exercise more intensely (getting your heart rate to 70% or more of your max heart rate), 20-30 minutes 3 times a week will do wonders for you.
When starting your stress reduction exercise program make sure you include all three kinds of fitness.
The first kind of fitness is flexibility. Tying in with your stress reduction theme, if you combine a tai chi or yoga type program, not only will you gain flexibility but you will also reap benefits from the meditative and calmness aspects of these disciplines.
Taking as little as 10 minutes from your day to focus on your breathing and flexibility will help shift your attention from a stressful situation to your body, allowing you to cope more effectively with any situation.
The second kind of fitness is cardiovascular work or aerobics. Doing your cardio will not only burn fat and reduce the health risks associated with the mid-line bulge but also increase your blood flow and vitality.
The third kind of fitness is muscular work or weight lifting. Many women use weight lifting to "work out" their stress and leave their problems in a pool of "glow" on the gym floor.
Lifting weights changes your shape, releases endorphins and increases your confidence in many aspects of life. Weight lifting if kept under an hour has a very positive effect on your hormone levels. It increases the fat burning ones and decreases the catabolic hormones like Cortisol and DHEA. These hormones when released repeatedly over time can cause several problems including depression and cardiovascular disease.

In addition to his role as one of the moving forces behind Keurig, Stevens has served as a motivational speaker, angel investor, philanthropist, actor, broadcaster and even movie producer. He was also a member of the Notre Dame basketball team which in 1974 famously ended the UCLA men's historic 88-game winning streak.
Stevens' presentation will focus on energizing the community, with support and resources from businesses and the university, to foster business growth and viability in the region. He will discuss the important issues, motivations, and challenges associated with starting and investing in a new venture.

"Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have. It is a weapon that we as Americans do have. Let that be understood by those who practice terrorism and prey upon their neighbours.

7 For All Mankind Women's Canberra Hobo, Handbag of the Day
It's larger than you might think -- 18.5"W x 13"H x 6.5"D with an 8" drop. This shape is versatile and deceptively spacious; 6.5" deep is very deep for a bag of this caliber.
Even the distressed leather of this bag is unusual, in this dark, dusty teal shade. We love the gathers at the sides, accentuated by the shiny nickel zippers and studs. There is a concealed magnetic closure at the top of the bag, and naturally, interior pockets to help you keep all that space organized.
The 7 For All Mankind Women's Canberra Hobo is available from Bloomingdales for $495.

Reading through a list of roles played by the great Robert Duvall is like taking a tour of great American cinema. "Apocalypse Now." "The Godfather." "Tender Mercies." The original "True Grit." Even "To Kill a Mockingbird" as Boo Radley. Nor has he slowed down, appearing in three excellent films in 2009 alone: "Get Low," "The Road," and "Crazy Heart," which won two Oscars.
Which role does the iconic actor consider his best?
The cowboy McCrae in the Western miniseries Lonesome Dove. [Read more...]

TCU Sweeps Double Dual Meet
Nov. 14, 2003 Fort Worth, Texas - TCU's swimming and diving team picked up two victories each as they topped Centenary and Louisiana-Monroe in their first double-dual meet of the season. Highlighting the night was a 66-47 victory over ULM for the men and a 62-50 victory for the women over ULM. The women's team picked up six first-place finishes. TCU opened the event with three consecutive wins over the Indians. Leann Cathcart and Erica Tate finished one-two in the 50 free. Tate followed up the second-place finish with a victory in the 100 free. Erin Irons picked up a first-place finish in the 200 free (1:55.15) and a second-place finish in the 500 free. In the one-meter and three-meter diving, Kelly Seely finished each event in second place with scores of 226.50 and 248.55. On the men's side, Aran Bean helped the Frogs with two first-place finishes. Bean picked up first in the 200 breast (2:07.75) and the 200 IM (1:55.98). The men swept the diving competition as Chad Hummel won the one-meter (266.55) and Kelly McCain won the three-meter (295.12). The 400 free relay (3:08.75) comprised of David Tietze, Mitch Loper, Yousif Del Valle, and Aaron McLachlan capped the night for the Frogs as they picked up the victory by a second to secure the Frogs victory. The men's team remains undefeated with the two victories and are 5-0 on the season. The women's team improves to 6-1 with the sweep. Next up for the Frogs Southwest Missouri State as both the men and the women will host the Bears. The meet will begin at noon in the University Rec Center.

LONDON, December 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Royal Dutch Shell plc (the 'Company') (NYSE:RDS.A) (NYSE:RDS.B) announces that it has entered into an irrevocable, non-discretionary arrangement with an independent third party to enable the purchase of 'B' ordinary shares, for cancellation, during the period from 2 January 2014 up to and including 13 March 2014 which period includes the 2013 fourth quarter results close period.
As previously announced, the purpose of the share buy-back programme is to offset dilution created by the issuance of shares for the Company's Scrip Dividend Programme. At this time, it is less economic for the Company to purchase 'A' ordinary shares under the share buy-back programme due to Dutch dividend withholding Tax rules.
Any purchases will be effected within certain pre-set parameters and in accordance with the Company's general authority to repurchase shares and Chapter 12 of the Listing Rules.

"I totally do think about that--and when I do, I realize, oh my God, it would have been horrible for me to win!" he confesses. "Because it was so right that Kelly won. It just worked out right. That whole season, she was flawless, and they were looking for the best VOICE on there. And she was, hands-down, the best voice."
It's a humble answer from a man that some might expect to be bitter, especially since he was rumored to be romantically linked to Kelly back in Season 1. (Of that, he sheepishly and simply says, "Yeah, there was a rumor, definitely. We've just always been such good friends. Um, man, it was weird; she was like my sister on the show, and then you know, we made a movie together...I'd say, we had a good time. Yeah.")
But it's not like Justin has been hurting for work in the decade since he left "Idol." In addition to his TV correspondent duties, he's built up an impressive theater résumé, starring in Rent, Women On the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, American Idiot...and now the forthcoming and much-anticipated Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, a new musical penned by Stephen King featuring the original music of John Mellencamp and musical direction by T-Bone Burnett, opening next week at Atlanta's Alliance Theater. "It is a Southern gothic musical that is out of this world," raves Justin. "I mean blood, gunplay, fights, beautiful music, romance, intrigue. It is awesome."
Justin is one of many "Idol" alums to make a name for himself in the theater world, but considering his background, it seemed an almost inevitable career path for the song-and-dance man. "I came from this world. Before I was on 'Idol,' I had the choice to either make my Broadway debut in The Lion King, or do 'American Idol,'" he reveals. "And I made the choice to go with 'Idol.' It was a crazy choice, because nobody knew what 'Idol' was. But there was just something that felt really good about that show. It ended up being just ridiculous. I don't think I even understood how big it was becoming until the second or third week of the top 10!"
Obviously, the now-33-year-old Justin had no idea what he was getting himself into, but he still doesn't regret his choice, nor does he ever get annoyed that he's still associated in the public's mind with a TV show he did way back in 2002, long before he got married, became a dad, or embarked on a theater career. And as an occasional "Idol" correspondent for the TV Guide channel, he's still proud of where he came from. "I'm happy to be associated with a blockbuster success, really! It would be short-sighted of me to pooh-pooh 'American Idol,' because it gave me my break, just like anyone else's break. And I'm thankful for it," he says. "Nothing beats the impact that we made that first season. People still remember who I am and they care what I'm doing. People from other seasons can't always say that, not because they're not talented, but because they didn't have the impact of that first season."And what about that OTHER musical he did, with Kelly Clarkson, the notorious box-office bomb From Justin To Kelly, a beachy romp that seems about as far removed from Ghost Brothers' dark Mississippi swamplands as imaginable? Is Justin proud of that, too? "Every time it crosses my mind to regret doing that film, it usually coincides with when I get a paycheck from the royalties," he laughs. "But people come up to me talk about it all the time. Especially the kids, they love it. It's a cult classic, you know? It was what it was. It wasn't designed to win an Oscar. Either you love or you don't, but I am proud of it."
Ghost Brothers of Darkland County premieres April 4th at the Alliance Theater at the Woodruff in Atlanta. Click here for tickets and info.

The fragrant, old-fashioned sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) is called by the English the "Queen of annuals." The delicate sweet pea is charming in the garden and beautiful as a cut flower. Until the middle of the 1800s there were just a few colors, but now you will find cultivars in shades of rich burgundy, hot pink, soft lavender, creamy white, bright orange, and many colors in between.
Plant Facts Common name: Sweet pea Botanical name: Lathyrus odoratus Plant type: Annual vine Height: 6 to 8 feet tall, depending on cultivar Zones: 9 to 10 Family: Fabaceae
Growing conditions • Sun: Full sun to dappled shade • Soil: Well-drained soil with lots of organic matter • Moisture: Keep moist but not wet
Care • Mulch: Place organic mulch around plants to maintain even moisture. • Pruning: Deadhead frequently to encourage vigorous blooming. • Fertilizer: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks, or mix a slow-release fertilizer into the soil when planting.
Propagation • In cooler climates, soak seeds and plant in containers in early spring, or plant seeds in the garden in midspring. • In warmer climates, plant in the garden in fall after soaking or chipping seeds.
Pests and diseases • Powdery mildew, gray mold, and various leaf spots occur. To deter fungal diseases, plant sweet peas where they have good air circulation. Cultivars • 'Regal Robe' (pictured here) blooms extra early with large, scented blossoms colored rich cream and burgundy. • 'Electric Blue' has dainty blue flowers, grassy foliage, and curling tendrils. This long-blooming vine grows 3 to 4 feet tall. • Old Spice Mix has fragrant flowers in bicolor or single hues. It's an heirloom that grows 6 feet tall. • Patio Mixed Colors is a mix of sweet peas that grow just 9 inches tall. They have a mounding form and look attractive in containers. • 'Pink Cupid', another mounding sweet pea, has light pink flowers, good fragrance, and grows just 6 inches tall.
Garden notes • Provide support for vining sweet peas with a trellis or arch. • Routinely deadhead blooms to encourage vigorous flowering. • To deter fungal diseases, rotate plantings of sweet peas and water them in the morning. • The fragrance of sweet peas varies depending on the cultivar, temperature, and flower freshness. • Though related to the garden pea, the sweet pea is not edible. Both seeds and flowers are poisonous. • Everlasting pea (Lathyrus latifolius) is a perennial sweet pea, hardy in Zones 5 to 9. All in the family • The Fabaceae group of plants includes about 18,000 species worldwide, including important food crops such as the soybean, lentil, bean, and garden pea. It also includes the honeylocust tree, mimosa, and the perennial false indigo.
