When you want to lose weight, is your first choice to run to the latest fad diet? Often a quick 5 to 10 pounds will come off, then your old eating habits return. If you stick with it to attain your weight goal, you may still find yourself back at the same weight or higher in a few months. Why don't diets work?
A Diet is a Lifestyle, Not an EventOn many diets, you are not eating the way you will eat for the rest of your life. You eat foods you may not like very much and don't find satisfying. If you are determined enough, you stick with it until you reach your goal. But you know this is "just for the diet" rather than finding healthier foods you enjoy in amounts that don't cause weight gain.
Diets Can Be DownersThe very word "diet" is depressing to many of us. We think of giving up foods that are comforting and enjoyable. We think of sitting a party with celery sticks while others are eating the crab puffs. We may even stop socializing because food is a big part of how we interact with friends and family. We feel deprived, alienated and alone, except for others who are dieting. Eventually we give up and enter back into the world of happy uncontrolled eating, carrying negative feelings toward healthier "diet foods."
The Dangerous Yo-Yo Diet CycleStudies are finding dangers in the yo-yo diet cycle of losing weight, gaining it back plus a little more, losing, and gaining again. It is stressful on the body systems to have wide swings in body weight. We think each time that this time we won't gain it back, but the statistics show that most of us will.
Yo-Yo Dieting May Weaken Immune System
Control IssuesAt first a diet can give you a sense of control. You are taking charge of your eating patterns. You may see success as the scale drops. But soon you are fighting cravings for forbidden foods, as well as hunger pangs and a lack of energy from the lower calorie level. Eventually you rebel against the diet and start "cheating." If your cheats are small you can still be losing weight, although more slowly. But soon you may go into full rebellion and return to your old eating habits.
Diets Slow Your MetabolismYour body reacts to fewer calories by slowing down your metabolism -- burning fewer calories each day just to maintain your body functions. If you don't add exercise along with the diet, you will lose lean muscle mass as well as fat and water weight. When you lose muscle, your metabolism is slowed even further and you would have to eat even fewer calories per day to continue to lose weight. It takes a conscious effort to increase exercise when on a diet.
If you don't exercise and then you fall off of the diet, the weight will come back on even faster, as your body is burning fewer calories per day. Even worse, the weight will come back on as fat rather than as the muscle you lost. Your body will look even less lean and healthy.
Solution: Get Active for an Hour a DayYour first step to improve your health and appearance is to begin daily exercise. Clients of bariatric surgery clinics are prescribed an hour of exercise a day before they can be candidates for surgery. Some of them lose weight so successfully from the exercise that they decide not to have the surgery after all. The exercise doesn't have to be intense -- pick activities you enjoy such as walking, biking, or swimming. Get your body moving most days of the week. The U.S. Surgeon General recommends a minimum daily requirement of 30 to 60 minutes a day of walking or other easy-to-moderate intensity exercise for weight management.
Solution: Make Simple Eating ChangesFind a 100-calorie change you can make for this week. Perhaps it is drinking one less can of cola each day, or having non-fat milk in your coffee instead of cream. Substitute string cheese or an apple instead of a bag of potato chips. Make a 100-calorie change each week for the next six weeks and you will have made a significant change in your eating habits. Don't think in terms of depriving yourself of foods you love, but eliminate empty calories you don't really like and find substitutes that you can enjoy for the rest of your life.
Moving from "Diet" to "Way of Eating"
Healthy Foods Instead of a Diet
By making these changes, you can tip your energy balance to building and maintaining lean muscle while burning and losing fat. This will probably be gradual rather than dramatic, but you will eventually notice clothes fitting looser, your waistline shrinking, and your energy level higher.
Rather than gaining a few pounds each year like most adults, you will be losing a little weight each year. Friends who haven't seen you in awhile will be impressed by the difference. Best of all, you will not have shocked your body with a deprivation diet, but instead have been feeding it appropriate amounts of better food while giving it the exercise it needs for health.

Your 2014 Houston Texans will have a very different look on the sidelines this season. Take a look at the new coaches, where they came from, and where some of the former Texans' coaches have gone...
"Brian [Ferentz] was the Hawkeyes' offensive line coach (also working with the tight ends) the past two years after four seasons with the New England Patriots, and he just accepted a position on Bill O'Brien's staff with the Houston Texans."
Eric Edholm's article on Yahoo! Sports
There's nothing from the usual sports reports or official announcements, but thanks to grandmasteroz for bringing this to our attention.
If true, Ferentz would represent yet another former member of the Patriots joining the Texans' staff.
Reports are flying that interim special teams coordinator Bob Ligashesky will retain his position as Joe Marciano's successor and the Texans' special teams coordinator.
According to Sports Talk 790's Lance Zierlein, there's "buzz" it could happen. What do Texans fans think about the idea of Mangenius being the next OC in Houston?
Just when you thought the Texans couldn't get more Patriot-y, Bill O'Brien proves otherwise. The Texans have added another coach to the new staff.
What coaches will comprise Bill O'Brien's Houston Texans staff is starting to become clearer. Here's the latest as to which coaches are coming with O'Brien from Penn State, as well as one Texans...
The first word of who may comprise Bill O'Brien's coaching staff in Houston has gotten out. Learn about Stan Hixon, the newest member of the Texans' coaching staff and presumably the team's new...

Respect leader: Galloway's comments are 'disappointing and wrong'
The Respect party leader, Salma Yaqoob, has condemned the comments by its MP George Galloway over rape as "disappointing and wrong."
In a statement on her website she has said:
Let me be clear, as a politician and as a woman. Rape occurs when a woman has not consented to sex.
George Galloway's comments on what constitutes rape are deeply disappointing and wrong.
There are many political issues entwined in the case of Julian Assange.
These issues cannot be used to diminish in any way the seriousness of any allegations against him.
Any individual accused of a crime, sexual or otherwise, is innocent until proven guilty.
– Salma Yaqoob, Respect Party leader
By the same token, any individual who believes themselves to be a victim has a right to have their grievances heard in a fair manner and not have their allegations belittled or dismissed.
This is the cornerstone of justice.
This turn of events may well act to undermine Assange's defence against those powerful forces keen to make an example of him for exposing the crimes of Empire.
It has certainly taken the debate around violence against women a step backwards.

A unique read on UCLA's victory against Arizona State by a fan, who had gone dark and watched the recorded game keeping himself completely blacked out from sports media across all platforms.
"On behalf of the entire UCLA football program, I respect the Pac-12's decision to suspend six of our players after the unfortunate incident in the second quarter of yesterday's Arizona game," UCLA Coach Rick Neuheisel said in a statement. "As a program, we certainly do not condone the actions of our student-athletes involved, no matter what circumstances they found themselves in at the time. "As the head coach, I am very disappointed with their actions. I told each and every one of our players as much in the locker room, both at halftime, and at the conclusion of the game. Everyone here understands the expectations and responsibilities we share, and that representing UCLA on the field of play is a privilege."ICYMI - Neuheisel's statement on the embarrassment in Arizona.
Taylor Embree is now suspended for 2 games. Other UCLA suspensions are the following: Sophomore guard Alberto Cid - Half-game suspension Sophomore wide receiver Randall Carroll - One-game suspension Sophomore wide receiver Shaq Evans - One-game suspension Sophomore wide receiver Ricky Marvray - One-game suspension Sophomore defensive tackle Cassius Marsh - Two-game suspension (consecutive games)

ASLC policy limits stipends for new student media employees
The Associated Students of Linfield College Cabinet elected May 5 to deny a proposal that would allow students with stipend positions in multiple platforms to receive more than one position.
The decision stems from a policy in the ASLC Budgetary Policy, which states "stipend employees may not receive more than one stipend. If they hold two positions that receive a stipend, then they will be granted the larger of the two stipends."
But while this rule has been enforced when students on ASLC Cabinet or Linfield Activities Board hold multiple stipend positions, such as those in student media, it has not been enforced when students hold positions within the student media entities: KSLC 90.3 FM, The Linfield Review, Wildcat Productions and Camas Journal of Art & Literature. The leaders of these organizations make up the Communications Board.
Part of the concern of the Communications Board members was that they were not informed about this policy until after they started hiring their staffs for next year.
KSLC General Manager junior Eric Tompkins said he wasn't privy to the policy until two weeks after he'd begun hiring.
"I thought it was a mistake, I thought it was miscommunication. I've never heard of it before; it's never been enforced," sophomore Jessica Prokop, editor-in-chief of The Linfield Review for 2011-12, said. "It should have been notified to everyone in media organizations and campus in general to people who have stipends because we had already started our hiring process by then. We should have been notified at least two months before."
Camas editor senior Lauren Funtanilla said she ran into the double-stipend problem her sophomore year when she was both an editor of Camas and a member of LAB.
"You only are made aware of it if you fall into that position of being in two positions. I feel like they don't tell you that up front," Funtanilla said.
Junior Yin Xiao, who will be online editor for TLR and vice president of Wildcat Productions next year, said that not receiving a stipend devalues her hard work.
"When I applied as vice president for Wildcat Productions, I didn't know anything about it," Xiao said. "I didn't care about it, how much I would get, but now I feel like even if it's $50, it's still what I get and it's the value I am."
Sophomore Brinn Hovde, next year's KSLC music director and TLR business manager, is also affected by the no-double-stipend policy.
Sophomore Kelsey Hatley, co-editor for Camas along with sophomore Julia Cooper and junior Kate Koten next year, said the media stipends are insubstantial, so it's nice to receive them as a form of recognition, not monetary compensation.
"To have stipends and rip the carpet out from underneath people and say that shouldn't really be your priority, that really devalues the work that people put into it," Tompkins said. "It's a token of recognition of the work a person's done, not a direct translation of the amount of hours that a person's put in."
ASLC President junior Rachel Coffey said that although the policy hasn't been imposed on media in the past, it is in the bylaws and needs to be enforced now, especially since it has been enforced on students within ASLC and LAB.
"I'm sorry that they feel they were uninformed, but it's definitely a conversation that we can have every semester now as a reminder," Coffey said. "It's the policy we have. I'm sorry it hasn't been enforced. I definitely know it's been enforced on our side."
Director of College Activities Dan Fergueson said the policy came about one year when an editor-in-chief of TLR was also secretary of the ASLC Cabinet. Holding both positions spurred ethical dilemmas in terms of what could and could not be reported.
Next year's TLR Adviser Brad Thompson, department chair and associate professor of mass communication, said he supports the enforcement of the policy when it involves students holding government and media positions.
"Someone in the media should not be in government in the same way that the New York Times doesn't have members of Congress on its staff," Thompson said.
But Thompson said an allowance needs to be made when the policy involves a student in two media positions, largely because of media convergence.
"We need to recognize that there's a lot of overlap between some of the functions that the radio and the newspaper and Wildcat Productions and maybe even Camas [perform]," he said.
Convergence was highlighted as a main reason in the Communications Board's proposal to grant media students multiple stipends. But Coffey said the policy does not stop students from learning and gaining key experience in multiple media.
"We're not stopping them from learning the different areas of the media, we're just saying they can't get paid to do both," she said. "If it's the experience they want, they can still have the experience."
Coffey sent a memo to the Communications Board on May 9 in reply to its proposal that the board be an exception to the double-stipend rule. Some reasons for the rejection provided in the memo include the need for "a consistent policy across all of ASLC's programs" and the need to spread out stipend-receiving leadership positions to more students.
Tompkins said the latter is ridiculous because students are not clambering for media positions.
"It's probably better to have some people get paid twice than to not get the job done," Thompson said. "I think that one of the issues here that's perhaps unspoken is that truly independent media don't have to ask the government for permission to do anything. Linfield has a policy that student media are independent, but in this case, they're not. Anyone that controls the purse strings controls content, ultimately."
Wildcat Productions and KSLC Adviser Michael Huntsberger, assistant professor of mass communication, said he is unsure why the policy is listed as a budgetary policy and not a personnel policy.
"Why is this a budget policy? Budget policies exist to encourage the proper conservation of resources, to assure that you have proper accounting, proper control over funds," Huntsberger said. "If this exists as a budget policy, then clearly there's a much larger discussion that needs to be entered into here. Central to this has to be the independence of the student media and the ethical obligations of the student media… I just don't think it's appropriate for any government, quasi-government organization, to dictate to mass media what they can do with their money."
Tompkins agreed, saying that the policy categorizes the media entities as any other ASLC club, which is incorrect to do because their functions "are fundamentally different."
Sophomore Thomas Gilmore, next year's president of Wildcat Productions, disagrees.
"Personally, I don't have any problems with giving people double stipends, but if all the clubs have a one-stipend-per-person policy, I feel like we should be following the same policy," Gilmore said.
The policy intends to spread out stipend positions to multiple students, but Funtanilla said it may prevent students from applying at all.
"If it hinders students applying for these positions, then I think that's a really detrimental thing to the college and activities outside of the classroom," she said.
Prokop said she and other Communication Board members are considering going to Dean of Students Susan Hopp to see if she can help change the policy, but Coffey said she doesn't think much will come of that.
"When it comes to these budgetary policies that are written up, Susan doesn't work with us on that," she said. "So from my understanding, I don't know if that's the right place for them to go to."

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Police need help identifying the person who hit a cyclist and took off Tuesday afternoon in downtown Maumee.
According to police, the hit and run happened at the intersection of Conant and Dudley streets. They say Thomas "Sully" Sullivan was riding his bicycle in the crosswalk of the intersection when he was hit by a car, described as a dark gray Toyota.
The driver took off. Sullivan, 57, was left with serious injuries.
"We believe that vehicle was driven by a white male, described as [having] facial hair," said Lt. Jeff Siebenaler, of the Maumee Police. "We don't have a sense of what age he may be."
Lt. Siebenaler says there could be damage to the front driver side of the vehicle. He's hoping the public knows something.
"We think that there's someone in the public out there that may know an individual like that, with this type of vehicle, and may have some information to offer us."
Sullivan, a manager at the Village Idiot, was taken to the hospital and has since been released, but his co-workers say he is now in physical therapy and has a long road ahead of him.
Anyone with information on the hit and run is asked to contact the Maule Police Department at 419-897-7030.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson put his belt on the line against Joseph Benavidez in the main event of last night's (Dec. 14, 2013) UFC on Fox 9 from Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California.
To watch full fight video highlights of Demetrious Johnson vs. Joseph Benavidez right now click here.
The fight was a rematch of their UFC 152 bout that Johnson won to become the inaugural UFC 125-pound champion.
"Mighty Mouse" came in with momentum on his side after defending his Flyweight title twice. His previous fight was an impressive fifth round submission win over John Moraga at UFC on Fox 8 in July. Johnson was looking to prove that his first win over Benavidez was no fluke.
Benavidez had almost as much momentum as Johnson with a three-fight win streak. Benavidez' most recent win was a knockout over Jussier Formiga at UFC Fight Night 28. His striking was greatly improved by the teachings of Duane "Bang" Ludwig.
But that didn't end up mattering too much as the fight was over quickly. Johnson sent notice to UFC Flyweights by knocking out Benavidez with authority, becoming the first man to finish "Beefcake" in mixed martial arts (MMA).
The fight started quickly with Johnson throwing some low kicks. Benavidez looked a step slower than Johnson. "Mighty Mouse" went for a takedown and threw some short shots when it was blocked. Benavidez threw a big high kick that nearly landed clean. Johnson stalked Benavidez up against the cage and landed a huge right hand flush on Benavidez' chin. Johnson followed up with a flurry of ground shots but the fight was over after the first right hand.
It was a huge statement win for Johnson. He destroyed the only fighter with a realistic chance of beating him. With three straight title defenses, Johnson is starting to throw his name in with the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
"Mighty Mouse" is ruling over his division with an iron fist, having already defeated the top four 125-pound fighters in UFC. The only truly logical next move for Johnson is a bout with rising number five-ranked John "Hands of Stone" Lineker. If Lineker can make weight for a title fight he'll be the only Flyweight with a chance at knocking Johnson out.
But, it's a very small chance.
For Benavidez the loss is devastating. He's now lost two fights to his division's champion, the latest by devastating knockout. While he's still probably second best at 125 pounds, he may never get another chance to fight for the belt as long as "Mighty Mouse" holds it.
And he could hold it for quite some time.
Benavidez will regroup against a top ten opponent. Surging Ali Bagautinov would make an interesting fight for Benavidez. Unfortunately his career will most likely be defined by his rivalry with Johnson.
There's a small chance that he can climb back up the ladder. With a relatively shallow talent pool available at Flyweight, he's in the right division to do it.
At this point, however, it doesn't look like he can provide too much of a challenge for the red hot "Mighty Mouse."
Demetrious Johnson proved that Flyweights do have knockout power when he put Joseph Benavidez to sleep at UFC on Fox 9. Is there anyone at 125 pounds who can give 'Mighty Mouse' anything close to a run for his money?

JACKSON, Miss. (KNOE 8 News/AP) - Two state agencies say algae blooms and a lack of oxygen in the water are responsible for a fish kill on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Dead fish started washing up early Monday on beaches in Hancock and Harrison counties and on Cat Island. That's according to a news release from the Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Marine Resources.
The chief scientific officer for the Department of Marine Resources, Kelly Lucas, says there were widespread areas of low dissolved oxygen. He also says there were high concentrations of microscopic algae that cause blooms known as "red tide." He says the algae are nontoxic but can clog the gills of fish.
The news release says hot summer temperatures can cause areas of very low or no oxygen.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) - East Tennessee State is hiring Belmont's Brittney Ezell as its new women's basketball coach.
The school has scheduled a Friday news conference to announce the move, which awaits approval from the Tennessee Board of Regents.
Ezell went 41-52 in three years at Belmont, including an 18-14 record this year that included a Women's Basketball Invitational appearance. Belmont led the Ohio Valley Conference in scoring defense and ranked 19th nationally in field-goal percentage defense this year.
Ezell, a former basketball and softball player at Alabama, also coached at Division II program Montevallo and Northwest Florida State College. During her playing career, Ezell was a 4-year starting point guard who helped Alabama reach four straight regional semifinals from 1995-98.
Ezell replaces Karen Kemp, who retired after going 272-277 in 19 seasons.

News: French Montana Flirts With Kanye West, Rick Ross In Close Pursuit
Tuesday, Nov 8, 2011 11:35AM
New York rapper French Montana may currently be the most sought-after hip-hop free agent as G.O.O.D. Music's Kanye West and Maybach Music Group's Rick Ross are both still reportedly trying to sign him to their imprints.
According to reports, French and Yeezy were spotted together in New Jersey over the weekend.
It seems Kanye West hasn't given up on signing "Shot Caller" rapper French Montana to his Def Jam label "G.O.O.D." Sources at Jay-Z and West's "Watch the Throne" concert at New Jersey's Izod Center Saturday say West was "all over" Montana backstage. Since Montana left Akon's Konvict Muzik, he's been flirting with West and Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group. Montana tweeted a photo with West backstage hinting that he'd signed with him. West was later spotted at the Darby Downstairs sitting near the DJ booth where Mick Boogie was spinning. (New York Post)
A few weeks ago, G.O.O.D. Music's Pusha T imagined French joining the team.
"I mean for what G.O.O.D. Music has been known for, but I don't know if G.O.O.D. Music was known for Pusha T. You know what I'm saying? I don't think G.O.O.D. Music was necessarily known for what it is that I do and think that we about to shock the world come 2012," Pusha promised in an interview. "I'm a fan of French personally. If that happens to happen, the way that French is putting out music and he puts out visuals and is like really self-contained, it could be serious man." (WGCI)
In August, Montana revealed Ye's interest in bringing him over.
Earlier today, Tuesday (August 16), New York's rapper French Montana revealed on Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club that Kanye West reached out to him and is interested in signing him to his G.O.O.D Music label. French is managed by Waka Flocka's mother Debra Antney Mizay Entertainment. (Yo Don Bleek Raps)
He also said Rick Ross was interested in signing him.
"Big shouts to Rick Ross, man. He just showed me a lot of love. He just hit me up one day, "I was always a fan of his music'" at like three in the morning, telling me to come to the studio. When I met up with him, it was just love. He let me hear the whole Self Made album, asked me what was my favorite song, and let me jump on it then threw it on the album. [He] jumped on "Choppa Choppa Down" for me and we just been back and forth, man. He just love my work and I'm a fan of his work. It's just been like that." (XXL Mag)

All parents think their lil ones are special, but some children have gifts that are truly remarkable. Thanks to the reach of the Internet, these pint-sized prodigies aren't just performing into a void, and some of them actually achieve the recognition and careers their talent deserves. Keep reading for a collection of tiny singers, dancers, artists, athletes — even a mini preacher! — who are vying to be the next Bieber. Guitar Virtuoso What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In utero, Lucciano Pizzichini listened to Paul McCartney, John Scofield, George Benson, and The Beatles, courtesy of his musician father. All that early exposure has certainly paid off. With hundreds of performances under his belt, thousands of fans from around the world, and long hair to rival any great rock star, it's no surprise that Lucciano is the youngest person ever to be sponsored by Gibson Guitars. 1 / 10 Baby Beyoncé What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This Brazilian toddler busts some serious samba moves, with rhythm and hip action to rival Shakira. 2 / 10 Tiny Diva What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Now a mature 9-year-old, Cleopatra Stratan was just 3 years old when she recorded the commercially successful album La vârsta de trei ani in 2006. The Romanian superstar holds the record for being the youngest artist to perform live for two hours in front of a large audience, the highest-paid young artist, the youngest artist to receive an MTV award, and the youngest artist to score a No. 1 hit. 3 / 10 Piano Prodigy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Emily Bear has been professionally tickling the ivories since she was 5 years old. A rare talent, Emily has played for some pretty serious audiences: Bill Clinton and the Dalai Lama, and at Carnegie Hall in 2010. 4 / 10 Musical Do-Gooder What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 An obviously gifted violinist, Brianna Kahane is using her talents to make a difference. At just 8 years old, in 2010, Brianna decided to use her considerable talent to raise money to rebuild the art school of her favorite violinist, Romel Joseph, that was destroyed in the Haiti earthquake. 6 / 10 Snowboard Superstar What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 At an age when most of her 1-and-a-half-year-old peers are working on the whole standing upright thing, little Ava Marie Merritt is making her way down the mountain. 6 / 10 The Next Picasso? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kieron Williamson's exceptionally atmospheric paintings look like the work of a master artist. At just 6 years old, Kieron seemed able to grasp the concepts of abstract and realism, and his work has won him an international following. After the first public showing of his work in 2009, his first public exhibition sold out in just 14 minutes. 7 / 10 Pint-Sized Preacher What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Religious beliefs aside, it's impossible not to recognize the magnetism of Kanon Tipton, who wasn't even 2 years old when this early video of him preaching made him a YouTube sensation. Unlike most viral stars, Kanon has staying power. Two years and several million hits later, Kanon is still preaching and recently appeared on The Today Show. 8 / 10 Little Monster What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When Maria Aragon uploaded her cover of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," she couldn't have imagined that Mother Monster herself would not only see it, but also invite her to sing a duet! 9 / 10 The Over-Achiever What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Dhanat Plewtianyingthawee would be a remarkable child if he merely mastered the violin at such a young age, but his abilities don't end with his musical talent.

Maybe someone could help with this problem, a soft re-writing, the phonebegan to restart very often, an original wooden soft races enrolled Soft Phoneneisijungia.All even tried nothing helps
01-08-2011 2:49 - edited 01-08-2011 2:49
A Soft reset by dialing *#7370# followed by 12345 (Default security code) when prompted. If you have set your own code, enter that instead. This will erase all your data from the phone memory but reset the phone to Out-of-Box state. I am afraid, you will lose all your data in absense of a Back-up now... as not sure whether the phone will remain ON till the back-up is finished. But surely try a back-up before the Reset. You may take separate back-ups for Contacts, Messages, Calendar Notes, and so on so that it finishes faster...
01-08-2011 11:32
Already tried that does not work, because the soft is not original, and does not allow Original upload it, even do not know what I did

helloo there,
2 days ago, it took me an hour to upgrade my ovi map to 00-02-43-117.
Recurrent issues occurs in following sequences:
I raised the memory using for Map from 87% -max 90%. It helps for previous firmware but 100% useless for above new release.
Before the new firmware is available, I had addressed following issues with no feedback so far from Nokia.
My dearest engineers in Nokia,
These problems are totally not new to me. Every time after new firmware release, I have to take my 5800 to Nokia Service and strongly advised not to upgrade to any new release. Every time, Nokia told me they replaced the LCD display and the mainboard.
Should I take it back again before my 3-month warranty expires on 8-Aug'11? It's my 4th 3-month warranty extended after every service.

Barbara Hills says she doesn't know where to turn
A mother who fears that her two disabled children may have to be put into care because of the so called bedroom tax, says she's had no advice about what to do.
Barbara Hills says her children need a room each at their three bedroom house in Kent. But under government plans, council housing tenants will either have their benefits cut or they'll have to move to a smaller house if they're judged to have spare bedrooms.

2 young Livermore teens injured after running into traffic

As a school crossing guard I see things that never cease to amaze me. I see parents stop their cars in a lane of traffic and the doors fly open and they let their children out, so that they do not go out of their way. They could easily get rear ended or worse. It seems there are parents who are in such a hurry to get to work they are putting the safety of their kids and others in danger. The school district has arranged for crossing guards in many places and by all means use their services. Wait until you see the crosswalk is clear before proceeding through.
on Aug 25, 2011 at 9:57 am
The process of natural selection will eventually weed out the truly stupid of these people. If you really want to get fed up with idiot jaywalkers watch the crowds crossing First St for the Friday concerts. Mommie and daddie holding coolers and chairs with toddlers running along behind -- right through the traffic. Too freaking stupid to go to the corner and use the crosswalk. Daddie dearest, there is a hood ornament on an SUV just waiting to impale you. Like I said, natural selection.

I've observed even younger adults of today actually believes the world will stop for them. Young parents in parking lots walk behind cars with the assumption they are visible...they are not, no matter how slow, if you have a BUS on each side, by the time my head gets to the BUS bumpers, my car is pretty well filling the thrufair. 26 yr wandering while texting, or a 6 yr old running ahead of Mom INSTEAD of at her hand, it's NOT the fault of the driver creeping out from the BUS on each side...who are ON or OVER MY line..better I should scrape their paint apparently...I'll remember that next time.
MOM learn to PARK your bus, and teach your kids personal safety.
Young children are taught to be arrogant, that they have the "right' of way. True, but that also includes be 'dead right'....little consolation for the parents who failed to teach personal responsibility...it's a basic survival skill, and the duty of parents to teach,,,look all ways, focus on the task of stepping off a curb, walking behind a car in a parking lot, etc. etc.
It's as important as teaching kids to not drink bleach, don't jump off roof, don't play with matches.,

Transparency to Regulated Industry: How Can FDA Improve Its Guidance Development Process?
The Task Force is collecting information on how to improve FDA's transparency to regulated industry. We held three listening sesions with members of regulated industry on January 21, 27, and 28. Transcripts and summaries of those listening sessions are available online and we are seeking comments from the public on the issues raised in those sessions, or other suggestions related to FDA's transparency to regulated industry.
Our next question is:
What changes, if any, should FDA make to its guidance development process?
We look forward to your ideas.
Transparency Task Force
March 30, 2010 at 10:53 am
What to do to increase transparency? A series of mandates must be enforced. FDA needs more authority in terms of ordering recalls on products of jurisdiction and requiring inspection information (whether negative or positive for Salmonella/ E-Coli…etc) from slaughterhouses, processing factories, manufacturers, and other companies. The FDA needs more experts and personnel to enforce the mandates. FDA needs its inspectors and attornies' presence in establishments with previous bacteria/virus outbreaks. Communication with the FDA must be mandated. Often times FDA will rely on a company's State Department of Health regulations and procedures to carry out the necessary precautions or even punishments.
And Congress is the legislative body who may grant FDA its wishes. It just breaks my heart that major actions take place in the wake of some nation wide epidemic or bacterial infection. Congressmen are not necessarily scientists or experts in the field of public safety but we must catch their attention. Mandates of communication and unveiling of the inspection results will bring about transparency.
March 31, 2010 at 8:58 pm
I agree with the above comment, although, I believe the FDA already has the authority. I believe that the FDA (and this really is not based on fact that I can reference) takes politics into too much consideration. Really, I also believe the FDA is doing their job well. Making sure the public is well informed of these new "cure-all" drugs' side effects that take longer to list then what the drug actually is supposed to do. There really is not much critisizm that I can give..
April 2, 2010 at 9:26 am
Hmm i agree with the first post on FDA needs more qualified personal on their side. The more people they have running on the field the less the chances are of a disaster. My 2cents of thought
April 6, 2010 at 2:42 am
Great information thanks for given the tips.
October 18, 2013 at 12:22 pm
definitely such as your web site and you should look into the punctuational on many of your content. A number of them tend to be rife having punctuational problems and i also realize its incredibly troublesome to inform reality nevertheless I'm going to undoubtedly occur just as before again.
February 8, 2014 at 7:49 pm
I got this website from my pal who told me about this web site and at the moment this tiume I am
visioting this web site and reading very innformative posts at this time.

Actually no matter if someone doesn't understand after
that its up to other visitors that they will help, so here it happens.

It's very straightforward to find out any matter on net
as compared to books, as I found this paragraph at this site.
September 24, 2010 at 11:04 pm
I don't completely agree on the post, but regardless a very well written post – I'll link back from my Robert Zapppone blog in the links area on my next blog post
September 26, 2011 at 9:45 pm
I think it needs to improve its transparency. FDA needs to communicate more and better.
November 25, 2011 at 4:07 pm
Mandates of communication and the unveiling of the inspection results will or should bring about transparency.
March 15, 2012 at 8:27 am
I really liked your article post.
March 31, 2012 at 12:01 am
Yes i agree that the FDA will require greater authority in order to impliment changes that will result in greater industry transparancy.
April 6, 2012 at 9:07 pm
This is a great blog. I would definitely want to revisit this website again. However, I personally advice to you to add more pictures on this domain as it will facilitate better visitor experience.

SEO as a whole is fast transforming into digital advertising and marketing, it's a brand-new time in advertising and marketing as compare to your TV adverts, mail chances, leaflets, signboards and more. The big amount of senior you can easily get to in such a short space of time is extraordinary.
June 2, 2013 at 3:51 pm
Undeniably consider that that you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to be on
the web the easiest factor to take note of. I say to you,
I certainly get irked whilst folks think about worries that they plainly don't realize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , other people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
June 5, 2013 at 4:35 pm
It's truly very difficult in this full of activity life to listen news on TV, thus I simply use web for that reason, and obtain the latest information.
June 8, 2013 at 9:00 am
I blog often and I seriously thank you for your content.
Your article has really peaked my interest. I will take a note of
your website and keep checking for new information about once per

Nutella for me. With not only bread, but also pancakes and waffles.
Nutella for me. With not only bread, but also pancakes and waffles.
Marmite for me.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"The committee discussed the issue of illegal bowling actions, and believed that there are a number of bowlers currently employing suspect actions in international cricket, and that the ICC's reporting and testing procedures are not adequately scrutinising these bowlers."
- Even the ICC's own official press release thinks things must change
My apologies for leaving out Marmite, was not aware of its existence.
So, what exactly is the difference between Vegemite and Marmite?
Playboy centre spread
"All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusions is called a philosopher." - Ambrose Bierce
Langeveldt: I of course blame their parents.. and unchecked immigration!
GingerFurball: He's Austrian, they tend to produce the odd ****ed up individual
Burgey: Be careful dealing with neighbours whose cars don't have wheels but whose houses do.
Uppercut: Maybe I just need better strippers
Vegemite tastes less savoury and meaty than Marmite to my tastebuds. I guess because I was raised on the latter I'm biased towards it, but I'd say Vegemite has a more artificial taste.

Nutella. Damn been a while since I had some.
Difference between Marmite and Bovril?
Marmite tastes like someone's chucked some honey into vegemite, I don't mind it for the part of it that tastes like vegemite but much rather the full taste version (i.e. vegemite). Probs a peanut butter man, all told.

The abandoned alligator discovered at O'Hare International Airport earlier this month is still not eating and is extremely stressed, authorities said.
The alligator, which is 25 inches long, was discovered under an escalator by a maintenance worker on the lower level of Terminal Three on Nov. 1, police said.
Chicago Police contained the alligator in a trash receptacle, and the Chicago Herpetological Society took custody, police said.
The alligator was in poor health when it was found and the Herpetological Society planned to ship it to an out-of-state facility once it was rehabbed, CHS president Jason Hood said when the animal was initially discovered.
"It is very lucky to have been spotted and captured before the weather killed it," Hood said at the time.
But the alligator "is still not eating and is extremely stressed," Hood said in a statement Friday. There is no interaction with the alligator except for feeding attempts and to check its cage while the society works to get the animal "back into the best health possible."
The alligator isn't expected to be "out of its home" until the CHS spring fundraiser event, ReptileFest, at the University of Illinois at Chicago gym on April 12-13, 2014, Hood said.
An image posted on social media showed the reptile on a CTA Blue Line Train, and CTA security began investigating how the alligator got to the airport, according to a statement from the agency.
The CTA found surveillance images of a woman, who boarded a northbound Blue Line train at the Pulaski station about 1:17 a.m. Nov. 1 with the alligator in her hand, the statement said. Interior rail car cameras show the woman holding the alligator in her hand and showing it to other passengers.
About 2:17 a.m., the woman exits the train with the alligator at the O'Hare station, the statement said. By 2:44 a.m., she is again seen near the turnstiles at the O'Hare station, but without the reptile.
If caught, the woman could face a misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty and a fine of $300-$1,000 for cruelty to animals or abandoning the animal in a public place.
"We hope the individual that abandoned the animal is dealt with appropriately by the authorities," Hood said. "This is a living being that was mistreated and abandoned by it's caregiver in a way that would have led to the death of the animal."
Anyone with information about the woman should contact the CTA at (888) 968-7282 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Cows are marvelous creatures. And that's no bull.
The Littleton Museum paid tribute to the bovine residents on its two working historical farms with a Bovines are Divine Day on March 29. Visitors learned about how Littleton's founding fathers and mothers depended on cows every day.
And gave them a chance to moo like a cow.
"It was funny to see people mooing," said Jade Roulston, 10, whose friends competed in the mooing contest. "It's been great."
Firefighters don't have time to iron out kinks in communications equipment during a wildfire.
That's why about 25 firefighters from the West Metro Strike Team were in the Willowbrook subdivision in Morrison on March 18. The team, which includes personnel from West Metro Fire, along with the Arvada, Fairmount, Golden and Wheat Ridge fire departments, practiced deploying resources to the neighborhood.
Sometimes our struggles define us.
For Ashley Berry, a 14-year-old eighth-grader at Summit Ridge Middle School, her battle to overcome bullying was a defining struggle in her life.
"When I was in fifth and sixth grade, I was dealing with a lot of bullying issues," Berry said. "… I didn't really know how to cope with being bullied."
For a group of high school students, the road to rock stardom starts in Littleton.
Divide Zero, winner of the 2013 Foothills Park and Rec Battle of the Bands, is promoting its first full-length album, "Reflections." The year-long project, which the band finished late last year, has been a life-altering experience for the pop-punk quartet of high-schoolers.
Littleton has what it thinks is a bright idea.
The city has begun talks with Xcel Energy about taking over ownership of the 66 streetlights downtown.
Currently the city's 3,200 or so streetlights are owned and maintained by Xcel, and Littleton pays the utility a flat yearly fee for the lights' energy use.
Any changes the city wishes to make to the lights — whether it be to replace a light with a different design, use a different bulb or repair a broken pole — are limited to the services Xcel provides.
They celebrated the good doctor / the only way they knew how.
By telling silly stories / and mooing like cows.
More than 30 kids and their parents were at Littleton's Bemis Library for an early celebration of the birthday of children's author Dr. Seuss on Sunday.
A little one-on-one time for fathers and daughters is a good thing — especially if it involves a two-step.
The Foothills Park and Recreation District hosted 100 father-daughter pairs Saturday at its Daddy Daughter Valentine Ball at The Peak Community Center. The evening dance gave the fathers and daughters a chance to make some special memories.
And to cut a rug or two.
"It's been great. I taught her to do a little swing dancing, and now she won't let me off the dance floor," said Robert Rivera.
Littleton's Bemis Library wants to start a conversation about race over the next three months.
The library's "Created Equal: America's Civil Rights Struggle" discussion series kicked off Feb. 5 with the first of four films aimed at sparking a conversation about the struggle by African-Americans for equality in the United States.
The house had become a prison for Jeaninne Kasa. But that was before the Zephyr Express.
Kasa, 54, has a progressive form of multiple sclerosis, a chronic disease that attacks the central nervous system. Within two years of her diagnosis in 2010, the former elementary school teacher had lost the ability to walk up and down the stairs in her home near Lilley Gulch Park.
"Oh, boy, it was hard. I was depressed," Kasa said. "We went through a lot of troubles back then."
A motley crew mingled in Bega Park on Saturday as they waited for a firetruck to lead them down Littleton Boulevard. Several fairies took laps on their bicycles, while a couple of cowboys mounted stick horses and moseyed along.
The Littleton Firefighters Children's Parade drew a large crowd of pint-size participants Saturday morning. The event, part of Western Welcome Week, was the warm-up act for the Grande Parade later in the day.
Yet for participants in the kids' parade, it was the highlight of the day.

MALONE — Franklin County adopted a 5 percent occupancy-tax law Thursday and will seek approval from the State Legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo to implement it.
Biz News Ink
Legislator Paul Maroun (R-Tupper Lake) voted against the measure, saying it gives too much policing power to the county treasurer and adds an unfair reporting burden on the small mom-and-pop lodging owners.
In a related issue, during an executive session last week, Franklin County legislators appointed members to a Tourism Advisory Committee, which will recommend how existing tourism funds and future bed-tax money would be spent.
Appointees are:
▶ Lesley Lyon, owner of Sunday Pond Bed and Breakfast in Lake Clear and the county's commissioner of Social Services, representing tourist home, inn, cottage, condominium, vacation-rental owners.
▶ Julian Hutton, manager of The Point in Upper Saranac Lake, representing accommodations.
▶ Derek Sprague of the Malone Golf Club, representing retail/restaurant owners.
▶ Bruce Monette, owner of Titus Mountain Family Ski Center, representing recreation-site owners.
▶ Chris LaBarge, owner of the Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Malone, representing accommodations.
▶ Michelle Clement, events coordinator for Tupper Lake, as an at-large member.
▶ Gil Paddock of Deer River Campsite in Malone, representing camping.
▶ A person to be named later from the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort as an at-large member.
▶ Stephanie Radcliff, of the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, representing attractions.
No decision has yet been made on specific term lengths for each member.
Lyon, Monette and LaBarge served on the seven-member Occupancy Tax Committee that formulated the law, which would charge a 5 percent fee on overnight guests and dedicate the money raised to tourism-related objectives the committee recommends.
But final approval for how the funding would be disbursed would remain with the County Legislature, which vows in the law to dedicate $176,000 in taxpayer dollars every year to tourism until the pool of bed-tax money collected reaches $350,000.
Once that threshold is met, the county's obligation would decrease dollar for dollar until bed-tax income funds all tourism initiatives.
Maroun said he doubts Cuomo will sign the law, due to past the governor's comments about allowing no new taxes to be created.
But proponents say that if Cuomo makes bed tax a home-rule issue, local legislators would make the decision, not Albany.
Maroun said the policy gives the treasurer the power to throw those in jail who do not comply, and he questioned enforcement of vacation-property owners because there is no way to tell how often or how long a space is rented.
He said County Treasurer Bryon Varin would likely ask for more staff to implement and track bed tax, which would be an added expense at a time when the county is trying to save money.
Following the meeting, Varin said, "Paul was right. I will ask for more staff" because of the additional duties required of his office, such as creating a compliance handbook for lodging owners, forms for their use, training sessions, compliance site visits, accountability, traceability, random audits and more.
His office would have to track at least 117 establishments, Varin said, and existing staff is not enough.
Legislator Marc "Tim" Lashomb (R-Malone) said he was undecided on the issue but supports the bed tax now because tourism "is a big driver for sales tax," which would bring relief to taxpayers since every dollar spent has a much larger return in the community.
In a news release, the Franklin County Chamber Alliance — representing chambers of commerce in Malone, Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake who initially pushed legislators to create a bed tax three years ago — said the law, if approved by state lawmakers, "enables this county to leverage significant investment capital overseen by a private-sector board for marketing this region's greatest asset, tourism."

Potter "Prada" Prop Book Up for AuctionCharity
July 04, 2006, 10:40 AM
A prop relating to Harry Potter that was used in the film "The Devil Wears Prada" is included in a new charity auction on Ebay. In the film version of the hit book by Lauren Weisberger, an aide is sent on an absurd mission to find the yet-to-be-written latest Harry Potter book for her tyrannical boss, as well as a manuscript. Proceeds from this auction benefit "Dress for Success," which "assists economically disadvantaged women transitioning from unemployment to self-sufficiency." Thanks to MuggleNet !
