The decline in usage share of Windows XP, which is slated for retirement in 53 weeks, has slowed significantly, hinting that millions of its users will hold onto the operating system much longer than some, including Microsoft, expect.
Data published monthly by California-based Web analytics company Net Applications indicates that XP's long-running slide has virtually stalled since Jan. 1.
[ Windows 8 is here, and InfoWorld covers Microsoft's new direction, the touch interface for tablet and desktop apps, the transition from Windows 7, and more in the Windows 8 Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
In the past three months, Windows XP's monthly drop in share has averaged just 0.12 of a percentage point. That's less than a fifth as much as the 12-month average of 0.68 percentage points.
Other averages point to a major deceleration in declining usage share: XP's most recent six-month average decrease of 0.42 percentage points was less than half the 0.94 point average for the prior six months.
Likewise for longer timespans. In the last 12 months, Windows XP has dropped an average of 0.68 percentage points, while in the 12 months prior it fell by 0.83 percentage points.
In other words, in the second half of a 12-month stretch, XP's decline slowed by 55 percent; in the second year of a two-year span, it slowed 18 percent.
The slowdown paints a picture that must depress Microsoft, which has been banging the upgrade drum at Windows XP users for nearly two years, and has repeatedly warned them that free security updates will stop after April 8, 2014.
Net Applications' data can also be used to roughly plot XP's future usage share.
If the average decline of the last 12 months holds, XP will still account for 30 percent of all personal computers at the end of April 2014, or 33 percent of all systems expected to be running Windows at that time.
Recent estimates of XP's future by analysts, however, have been more conservative, with experts from Gartner and Forrester Research predicting that 10 percent to 20 percent of enterprise systems will still be on the aged OS when support stops.
Microsoft has not pegged XP's current corporate share, but the Redmond, Wash., software developer clearly knows it's large: In January, during the company's last quarterly earnings call, CFO Peter Klein said 60 percent of all enterprise PCs were running Windows 7.
Since few businesses adopted Windows Vista -- and with Vista's usage share now under 5 percent, some that did likely ditched it -- the remaining 40 percent must, by default, largely be Windows XP.
Windows XP will not suddenly stop working 53 weeks from now; it will boot, run applications and connect to the Internet as it did before. But it will not be served with security updates. Minus patches, and knowing how frequently cyber criminals uncover vulnerabilities, security experts expect hackers to exploit XP bugs that users will have no way of quashing.
Those same experts have split on whether Microsoft will extend Windows XP's support to protect what increasingly looks to be a major chunk of Windows users. But Microsoft has not signaled any desire to do so.

Human trafficking is considered the number two crime worldwide and is a multi-billion dollar industry ruining millions of lives. On Saturday advocates hoping to eliminate the crime used a tool of the trade to bring awareness to human trafficking.
Some held them in their hands, while others hobbled several blocks with stilettos on their feet. While high heels are typically a woman's fashion statement, Jonathan Varnado put his pride aside and put on some heels to support an end to human sex trafficking.
"Anything to support the cause I'm here to help support the cause to stop human trafficking," said Varnado.
A local mom who didn't want be identified lost her daughter for several days earlier this year after she was taken across several states for human trafficking.
"Finally she received power to her phone from a cell phone charger and was able to power her phone and that's when we located her," said the mom.
On Saturday the organizations "Advocates for Freedom" and "Friends of Fallen Riders" sponsored the first annual Metro Stiletto Walk on the Jackson State University campus.
The stilettos signify a tool of the human trafficking trade. They're often worn on victims to attract human traffickers.
"It's the trafficking way of saying this is my merchandise and are you interested," said Susie Harvill, the CEO and Founder of Advocates for Freedom.
Harvill said human trafficking is a gruesome reality all across Mississippi and says that the majority of victims in the Magnolia State are minors.
"They have to bring in a quota of $1,000 a day or more or if they are very young they are used for porn pictures," Harvill told WLBT.
Harvill said human trafficking pulls in $35 billion annually and could soon outdo the illegal drug industry.

2008 Royals accomplish a feat not done since April 2003
That makes five straight victories and six in the last seven games. Sure, that might sound modest elsewhere, but the Royals haven't won five straight games against American League opponents since a five-game streak during April 18-24, 2003. That's right. 2003.

The Women of Scrubs Season 8
Scrubs was born in 2001 by taking us into the mind of the very quirky John "J.D." Dorian, an intern at Sacred Heart teaching Hospital. J.D. narrates (and daydreams) his adventures in treating patients along with his fellow intern and on again off again girlfriend Elliot Reed, best friend Christopher Turk, and his reluctant mentor Dr. Perry Cox. Fast Forward to 2009, the interns are residents now, Dr. Cox is now the Chief of Medicine, the show's moved to ABC from NBC, and it's still just as funny as it ever was. March 18′th marked the Scrubs return after a month long hiatus, and a move to Wednesday nights, the final episode is currently scheduled to air on May 6 2009. In traditional Gunaxin style we have to take a look at the women who make this show possible.
Sarah Chalke
Sarah Chalke plays Dr. Elliot Reed, J.D.'s on again off again girlfriend. She's a little neurotic, has low self esteem (sometimes), and she tends to shout her favorite expletive (Frick!) when she's frustrated, but she's incredibly cute. You might recognize her as "Second Becky" from Roseanne.
Judy Reyes
Judy Reyes plays Christopher Turk's wife Carla Espinosa. Carla is the fiery Latina, who heads up Sacred Heart's nursing staff.
Christa Miller
Christa Miller plays Jordan Sullivan, Dr Perry Cox's ex-wife. With the way those two bicker you can never tell why they got married in the first place, but you can certainly see why they got divorced. You might recognize Christa Miller from her role as Kate on the Drew Carry show.
Along with the regulars there is a new crop of interns this year featured in a series of Webisodes on ABC's site. Here's the first:
Eliza Coupe
Eliza Coupe plays Denise Mahoney, J.D.'s intern. He refers to her as Jo, because of an attitude similar to Jo from The Facts of Life. She has trouble showing empathy for her sick patients, but she does get very excited when she sees overweight men.
Betsy Beutler
Betsy Beutler plays Katie Collins, Elliot's intern. She might seem ditzy and cute, but she has a manipulative side.
Sonal Shah
Sonal Shah plays Sonja "Sunny" Dey, the cheeriest of all the interns. She making a video diary for her mom, and she's the newest member of the Brain Trust. Not only that but I was able to find way more pictures of her than the other two interns.

- 1 hr 20 min
- Prep:
- 40 min
- Cook:
- 40 min
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 skinless, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 3/4 pounds), patted dry

News: Jay-Z Says He's On Lil Wayne's Level, "For Me To Still Be Able To Compete At My Age, That's Rarefied Air"
Thursday, Jun 10, 2010 6:19PM
Rap mogul Jay-Z has explained why retirement talk is nothing more than gossip and how he is still competing at the same pace as artists like Lil Wayne in the new Rolling Stone issue.
Despite being 40 years-old, Young Hov says his competitive nature has not slowed down.
"One of the reasons I wanted to make Blueprint 3 was because of the challenge," Jay told the magazine in a cover story out this week. "We've seen people like LL [Cool J] have longevity, and we respect the heritage of what he's done, but it's not like, right now, he's competing on the same level as Lil Wayne. So for me to still be able to compete at that level at my age, that's rarefied air. It's never been done. I think the problem with people, as they start to mature, they say, 'Rap is a young man's game,' and they keep trying to make young songs. But you don't know the slang -- it changes every day. You can visit the topic, but these young kids live it every day, and you're just visiting. So you're trying to be something you're not, and the audience doesn't buy into that. And people wonder why. 'I made a great Southern bounce song!' You're from New York, and you're 70! Why are you bouncing?" (MTV)
Last year, Jay-Z talked about nearing 40 and still wanting to have a long-run in hip-hop.
"I hear it all the time -- 'Yo, he should let the young guys, the new generation of guys come in,'" Jay explained in an interview. "But you don't become the front-runner in music because someone lets you. You have to claim your shoes...If you grow up listening to hip-hop, you love hip-hop and that's the end of it. But if you're a 30 year-old rapper still trying to make music like you're 15, then you're making it narrow. At my age, I can't relate to a 15 year-old. I deal with mature and relevant topics for my age group -- it has to all be based on true emotions. The more diversity and the more mature we make hip-hop, the bigger the net you cast." (Reuters)
Rap pioneer Rakim also discussed the age issue with SOHH last fall.
"Yeah, I think what's happening is, rappers are becoming, especially for people that love a rapper, rap and hip-hop come toparty," Rakim explained. "You can't just put it down. It's not likesports where you know, you lose a step. You can lose skills in rapping of course, but it's a little different man and I think sitting back and watching the R&B genre, you got, at any awards show and you see brothers like Al Green come out and tear it down. It's longevity in R&B...I just touched 40, but still, I don't plan on stop listening to rap anytime soon and I don't plan stop rhyming no time soon and it's that tug-of-war with the fans. Every time you see the fans or go to a show, they're like 'Yo, do another album,' so it's like that love between the two, the fans and your music. I think we should stretch out our age limit as far as hip-hop 'cause if that's the case, I think when brothers grow up they just want to leave rap entirely and listen to other genres of music so I think there is room for a little mature sound of hip-hop, for the older, grown and sexy, whatever you wanna call it." (SOHH)
Recently, Mobb Deep's Havoc discussed why some 30 year-old newcomers should re-consider breaking into the music industry.
"Here's my problem, now Jay-Z killed it, killed the game, he could do that and if somebody was in that same position, I feel they could do it," Hav explained in an interview with DJ Vlad. "But if you haven't already gotten on and you past 30, then I think you should [stop]. That's my opinion and not to kill anybody's dreams that's trying because it's just my opinion -- it's in my strong opinion that if you haven't gotten on by the time that you're 30 and you're past your 30's, try something else. And especially if you don't have any money. Because then you're wasting time. And there's probably a million motherf*ckers 30 and past it that could prove me wrong, but I'm just saying in my strong opinion." (Vlad TV)
The new Rolling Stone issue should be released this month.

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
If you manage to get Lo as your tour guide - you are lucky! He is fantastic and ran a great day for us. The Elephant Sanctuary was great, we got to feed the elephants and you can bathe with them if you wish.
Definitely worth getting out of KL to visit the elephant sanctuary and deerland.
This was such a great day out and our tour guide was so excellent!
We were picked up at our hotel right on time. We were the only people on the tour so we had a wonderful time with our tour leader (sorry, forgot his name) who could not do enough to make sure we had a wonderful experience. Feeding the deer and looking at the other animals in the private zoo was fun but the elephant sanctuary was great. The video shown to visitors showing the plight of these wonderful animals is very moving. Getting close and hand feeding the elephants is an amazing experience and watching the older elephants have their play time in the river was great fun. I went in the river with the young elephant and it was fantastic to be able to help bath it. I don't know who got the wettest - the elephans of the visitors! all in all a terrific experience, highly recommended and many thanks to our tour guide for making our day so memorable.
We were not able to get near the Elephant due to flooding. It rained a lot weeks before our arrival in Kuala Lumpur but we have a good time touring the outskirts of the city. Our guide was so nice to compensate what we miss in the Elephant Sanctuary by stopping on some interesting veiw points and one of those point was with the local monkeys. We have a good pics of them. Nexr rime we plan to ask for Devva as our guide. He sure knows how to make a trip interesting. Thank you,
Nerissa and John
Private Tour guide was fantastic. Told me so much, paid for everything. He made the trip worth it.
Elephant sanctuary does not let you ride on the elephants anymore which is a let down. But the forest fruits and "packed lunch" which was street food were superb!!
The elephant sanctuary was fun, but the best part of the trip was our tour guide, who made sure we had everything we needed to really enjoy our day. He also gave us so much information on Malaysia we really felt we knew the place. Fantastic service, first class. Thank you !
Hi all,
I was very impressed with the tour, and especially the friendly tour guide Ei. He showed me many places and did not hesitate to tell the truth. Since the tour can be weather dependence, Ei was fun and honest
It was beyond awesome. I would strongly recommended to anyone.
We had a wonderful day. Our tour guide Ai was friendly and entertaining. He gave us lots of local information and made our day special. The elephants were beautiful. We got to swim with them which was the highlight of our tour. Our guide made the drive and other stops enjoyable. This tour is a must.
It was amazing ! Our tour guide was just a pleasure to be with and so full of knowledge. It took us about and hour and a half to get there, but he showed us many sights along the way with well informed commentary. We stopped at Deerland and had a great time feeding the deer. They were so gorgeous. As were the other animals there, well maybe for me not so much the snakes, but my daughter didn't mind stroking them. I took photos, from a distance. When we got to the Elephant Sanctuary, we were shown a very informative video on how these people actually move these elephants out of the jungle. We then walked through lovely landscaped gardens to the restaurant where our guide provided lunch for us before we strolled down to see the baby elephants. They do a wonderful job with these baby elephants. One little one had no tail because a tiger had bitten it off ! Another one had no foot because it developed gangrene out in the jungle. The sad part was that because of these injuries the herd leaves them behind to fend for themselves. They then brought in quite a few very very large elephants. They were gorgeous and you could literally stand eye to eye with them. Well maybe eye to knee with them, they were so big. All in all, it was such a great day and these people should be commended for the work they do. You can just tell how much they love these animals. I would honestly recommend this tour to people of all ages. I also would recommend Viator, as I have had transfers overseas with them plus day trips in Rome and Paris a couple of years ago.
This was an interesting day although I was surprised that there were so many people feeding and riding the elephants given the price - I had the impression it would be rather more exclusive. However the day was absolutely made by our guide Che Ai who was delightful. He was informative about the sanctuary but also answered all questions about language, road signs, education, health care, taxation and anything else we asked about Malaysia. He has a wonderful sense of humour and introduced us to some new experiences - stopping at roadside stalls so we could sample some new fruits. Especially durian! We felt that we were in ver safe hands - he is an asset to you.
Great driver/guide. He went the extra yards for us. He had fantastic knowledge of the area and made additional stops according to what we wanted. Would do it any time again
Kenneth G
great driver and a wonderful experience
I could go again ! Wunderful experience.Worthwhile the long trip
Excellent the best part of your trip..
Christine T
Loved this tour, had fun swimming with the baby elephant and great to be able to ride bareback. Our guide was great, funny and very informative, found him to be a very genuine person, unfortunately can't remember his name
Note from Viator: This review is based on a previous tour itinerary. Unfortunately, activities with the elephants are no longer offered due to Malaysian animal safety laws.

Careers in Healthcare: Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy & Therapy Assistant
Physical Therapy treatment must be provided by either a physical therapist or a physical therapy assistant. Physical Therapists are medical professionals who are trained to examine, evaluate and treat a vast array of problems in people of all ages. They provide services that help restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients suffering from injuries or disease. They restore, maintain, and promote overall fitness and health. Physical Therapists practice in a wide variety of settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, outpatient clinics, homes, schools, and on the job. The minimum educational requirement is a post-baccalaureate degree from an accredited education program. While many programs offer a master's degree, a growing majority of programs offer the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. All physical therapists also are required to take a national examination and be licensed by the state in which they practice. In order to maintain their license, a physical therapist must complete continuing education courses.
The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) is a healthcare professional who assists the physical therapist in the provision of physical therapy and may perform physical therapy interventions selected by the supervising physical therapist. The physical therapy assistant works under the direction and supervision of the physical therapist. Physical therapy assistants must complete a two-year educational program to earn an associates degree. In the state of Illinois, physical therapy assistants must take an examination to become licensed to practice, and they must complete continuing education courses to maintain their licensure.

One of the largest grass fires in New Mexico State history has forced the evacuation of two communities and burned an estimated 70-thousand acres. The fire is about 100 miles West of Lubbock in Southeastern New Mexico between Tatum and Lovington on Highway 206.
The Lovington fire department tells NewsChannel 11 the blaze started this morning around 11:30, Texas time and spread quickly. Raging winds near 60 miles an hour forced flames toward the Texas State line. Authorities have enforced a mandatory evacuation for the communities of McDonald and Prairie View. We're told that evacuations started around 5:30 this evening. The Tatum fire department says 70-thousand acres are destroyed, as well as at least two structures.
The fire was contained about 10:00pm. The Yoakum County Sheriff says the people in Plains and Brownfield were not in danger of seeing the fire. Lovington fire department headed the fire fight with 50-70 firefighters on scene. Two structures have been lost, one was the McDonald Post Office. One injury has been reported from a farmer who was trying to protect his home. He has been sent to a Lubbock hospital, where he is listed in stable condition at this hour. So far, there is no word at this time as to how many houses have been lost.
People closet to Tatum were being evacuated to the community center, and those closest to Lovington went to the junior high school cafeteria. Wind was a factor in fanning the fire. The wind carried the smell of smoke and even ashes over 100 hundreds miles to Lubbock.

A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Aug. 19 at the Cheney United Methodist Church with a luncheon to follow for former Chattaroy Elementary School teacher Irene Rufer, 92, who passed away Aug. 8 in Spokane.
Born on Sept. 4, 1918, in Hillsboro, Ore., to Jacob and Flora (Wright) Rufer, she attended schools in Holbrook and Silverton, Ore. She attended high school in Spangle, Wash.
She continued her education at Eastern Washington University where she received her bachelor's degree in education and later received her master's degree.
Starting on Sept. 1, the base cost of most Washington hunting and fishing licenses will increase. It is the first general recreational license fee increase in more than a decade.

So I haven't seen much/any mention of it on this site, but WTF was up with the Arod opt out announcement in the 7th inning?
Seriously, that was some of the weakest crapola I've ever witnessed. It was something out of the Paris Hilton/Britney Spears school of "look at me" public relations.

Hi. I am thinking to buy this theme, but I have a doubt. is it posi¡sible to change the basket that appears when you put the mouse on the product image? I would prefer the tipical "Add to cart" button.
Of course but you need to know php/css to do this becaue it's not possible with theme settings.
Hello, I just installed the theme. But the slider does not work. I have the 1.5.4 prestashop version. look at the screenshot :
Update was sent to themeforest.To fix this asap please go to modules/dilectaslider/dilectaslider.php and replace line 45 with this code:
if(!isset($_GET['lang_id'])) { $i = 0; foreach ($languages as $language) { if($language['active'] == 1) { if($i == 0) { $_GET['lang_id'] = $language['id_lang']; } $i++; } } }
Thank you!!!

So easy!! Merci
I've got problem with install v1.0.1 on 1.5.4 the information is: You are going to install the following theme: dilecta v1.0 This theme is for Prestashop v18.104.22.168 -> v18.104.22.168
Please install. This theme is compatible with 1.5.4. Just install this theme from 1.5.4 folder.
now after install I've got all modules, but I don't see theme in preferences/themes
Please send me url and admin access to store via contact form on my profile page.
Hello. Congratulations for this theme,is very nice. I have just some problems with it: 1) Fidelity module – it doesn't work with this theme 2) No labels for NEW PRODUCT or FEATURED PRODUCT are showed on the image of products. Can u help me? Thanks in advance
Michele I'm using 1.5.4 version
Becaue probably like 99% extension this was created only for default theme. Please send me all details via contact form on my profile page.
Ok Thanks
Good morning; I wish to buy your theme but before I have somes questions: Is updates are free? Is the custom block of the products page is deactivable and if yes the space is filled?
Best regards Christophe
Yes, updates are free.Without custom block: http://themes.jelliz.com/prestashop/dilecta/v2/index.php?id_product=2&controller=product
ok. thank you for the fast answer
When I want to install the template on Prestashop 1.5.2, an information message tells me that the theme is for version 1.5.3 (although I selected the correct file to upload). I finished the installation but still I can not see my home because I get a 500 error. The template works correctly on Prestashop 1.5.3 Do you have a solution?
Best Regards,
Here was 1.5.2 before http://themes.jelliz.com/prestashop/dilecta/index.php
Now this demo is update to 1.5.4
Please give me ftp account and url to store and i will chcek what is wrong.
Hi, No ftp and no url (localhost). There is a problem with blockpermanentlinks-header.tpl, i think.
(Cf. my next message)
Without ftp account i can't check where exactly is the problem. Please upload everything on server and then give me all this details.
I solved part of the problem. When deactivating the permanent links, there is no error 500. However, no permanent links … The slider does not work on 1.5.2 but works fine on 1.5.3.
Here is the cause of the error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'SmartyCompilerException' with message 'Syntax Error in template "D:\xampp\htdocs\vitalibio\themes\dilecta\modules\blockpermanentlinks\blockpermanentlinks-header.tpl" on line 6 "
getPageLink('sitemap',true)}" title="{l s='sitemap' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}">{l s='Sitemap' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}
" – Unexpected "'}
J'ai le même problème que votre client Asytec. Je n'arrive pas à configurer le Dilecta slider. j'ai essayé de modifier la ligne 45 dans modules / dilectaslider / dilectaslider.php mais ça ne change rien.
Avez-vous une solution svp ?
Merci par avance
English please.
In the PSD files in the download the Checkout page looks different than the demo checkout page.
Which is the checkout the latest version of the site uses?
In the PSD it looks like a one page checkout, which is what I want. Everything on the one page. Kinda like a magento checkout experience.
How Checkout page look you should check in demo version of this theme not PSD files
PSDs are with design of course but not always 100% the same like live demo.OnePageCheckout in PrestaShop you can set here: http://cl.ly/image/3C383a1t080S
Hi, In the capture of the subject, wishlist icon appears next to the shopping cart icon … how can activate? Thanks!
In PrestaShop version there is no Wishlist icon. Check demo.
Hello, we are having a problem in the product page. When you enter the thumbnails get over the main image. The problem disappear if you move the mouse over the thumbnails (not over the main image). Any ideas? Im the only one? PS 1.5.4, dilecta 1.0.2
I need admin access and ftp account to chcek what is wrong with your store.
Please send me this details via contact form on my profile page.
There are PSD's for the homepage, product page, shopping cart, checkout pages.Is there a PSD for the product category pages, grid view / list view? http://themes.jelliz.com/prestashop/dilecta/index.php?id_category=6&controller=category&id_lang=1
It was but i don't know why now it dissapeared.
Please send me message via contact form on my profile page and i will send you PSD via e-mail.
Hi Tiquet,
Perfect theme, works really well, good documentation, thanks!
Small question: was is the best way to to do an update?
Via import/export a theme? Or just overwrite the modules folder and dilecta theme folder with the ones in the 'files to upload'-zip?
Haha, just saw ethicwear posted the same question. So nevermind mine!
Best and the most safety way i to upload files via FTP.
Thanks, will it keep the translations for the theme/modules?
Yes of course.
Hi there, I bought this theme and is amazing. Just one question: I'm using it on a spanish language site, and as I read, the theme should be fully supported, but all the menus, carts and text affected by it displays their information in english instead of spanish. Do I need to manually translate these parts or is there some way to "update them" automatically? Thanks in advance!
Top menu, some cart text are our custom texts but you only need to go to Localization/Translation/Modify translations choose: Installed Modules (theme dilecta, language flag) of front office, and add translate for language you want.
Hi tiquet, thanks for the answer but I've already done that and it didn't work. Something else to try?
Did you disabled PrestaShop cache in Advanced Parameters > Performance. This texts are saved in cache. Please try disable and check.
:facepalm: Thanks tiquet, I'd forgot to recompile the template. Everything works well except for the footer section. Still in english.
Please send me access to admin panel via contact form on my profile page.
I will check

EL CAJON (CNS) - One or more thieves broke into an East County gas station early Friday and stole an ATM, but wound up dumping it miles away after being unable to pry it open.
A surveillance camera captured images of a light-colored SUV similar to a Jeep Cherokee backing through glass front doors of the business in the 1000 block of West Main Street in El Cajon about 4 a.m., police Lt. Mike Moulton said.
About an hour later, a passer-by found the cash machine abandoned alongside Navajo Road in the Lake Murray area of eastern San Diego. It appeared that someone had tried in vain to break the ATM open, the lieutenant said.

WWE is in a weird sort of transitional period right now. How would you define this era, assuming you couldn't simply call it "The PG Era?" There's very little emphasis on the WWE championship, despite the fact that it gets plenty of screen time. There's even less emphasis on the other major titles within the promotion.
You could argue the real emphasis is on returning attractions like The Rock, Triple H (not necessarily returning but definitely an attraction), Shawn Michaels, Brock Lesnar, and Paul Heyman. When these men show up, the emphasis is put on them and everything else takes a back seat.
There's a good reason for doing so, sure. These men are legends of the ring, big enough names to demand big enough paychecks that anything less than the main event is unacceptable. But their presence, and the continued emphasis on it, undercuts the rest of the roster. The big problem is they aren't using these men to create and nurture new stars.
They've turned it into a storyline with CM Punk demanding respect for his accomplishments despite the fact that WWE refuses to acknowledge as much.
He can say he's the main event no matter where he is on the card all he wants, the fact of the matter is he never goes on last. That's indicative of both his perceived shortcomings as a draw and the manner in which WWE has gone about its business of late.
In short, it seems they don't trust the current roster to carry the business. So they're relying on old hands to do it for them. That's a big problem.
Lesnar is a particularly egregious case because he seemingly harbors a great deal of disdain for the industry. He doesn't enjoy pro wrestling. He's not passionate about what he's doing. He's just talented, an athletically gifted specimen who fits the mold of what Vince McMahon believes a pro wrestler should be.
He's also got a big ego, one that seems to be entirely too hard to satisfy. He's overpaid, too, considering he hasn't done much more than come in, job to John Cena (already a made man and the biggest star on the roster), look incredibly weak, and defeat Triple H (also a made man who is a part-timer). WWE reportedly paid $5 million for this and while that number is probably inaccurate, if it's anywhere in the ballpark, it's an insane figure.
After his appearance on last night's (Aug. 20, 2012) episode of Monday Night Raw, Lesnar told us he was leaving and never coming back. We know this isn't true, he's simply taking yet another vacation until he inevitably returns to be an attraction at a pay-per-view (PPV) to be determined.
The Rock doesn't fall into the same boat as Lesnar, as he has a genuine passion for the business and has worked more dates in between his film career. He's also arguably been far more entertaining but he's also simply an attraction, a star WWE brings out of exile to boost the business when he's got free time in his schedule.
This serves to take away opportunity from the current crop of "superstars" who the company will be relying on when Lesnar decides he doesn't want to come back anymore or when WWE realizes he's not worth the money they're paying him. But it's hard to break the glass ceiling when you're constantly taking a back seat to wrestlers deemed more important than you.
At some point, that has to change. But it won't be anytime soon. The Rock will be back to win the WWE championship at Royal Rumble, regardless of who is holding it going in. Lesnar will return as well, likely for a showdown against Undertaker at WrestleMania 29. And by this time next year, it's unlikely anyone on the roster at present time will be any more of a star because of their presence.
The "Returning Attraction Era" may be good for a few cheap pops every now and again but it's not a sustainable model and it's stunting the growth of those who are actually putting their time in.
I'll let Owen Hart get the last word on this because he said it best -- "Enough is enough and it's time for a change."

There's been a lot of talk after the last two Bills' losses about the Bills giving the game away themselves rather than getting beaten by other teams. I think this distinction is highly subjective and frankly doesn't produce much helpful analysis or discussion. On the contrary, it seems driven by homerism more than anything else.
Think back to the Bills' wins this season. One could argue the Seahawks gave away the game by poor tackling and by sloppiness (not paying attention on the fake field goal). The Jags also tackled poorly, and failed to score TDs on several drives when they either got only FGs or came away with nothing (like the Garrard INT to end the first half)
The Raiders had their game at the Ralph well in hand, and offensively "gave up" when they went 3-and-out to allow the Bills to drive and kick the winning FG.
The Rams also had their game with the Bills in solid shape but gave up a poor pick 6 to lose the lead.
The Chargers had three turnovers against the Bills. Didn't they give the game away?
I think it's a silly distinction to draw. Teams lose and win because of all these things. One could easily argue that the better team on that day was pressuring the other team into making those mistakes (the same thought process applies to committing penalties). Edwards' pick 6 against the Jets was forced by a pass rush that was superior to the pass blocking.
Last year, the Pats went 18-0, but then they lost the Super Bowl. Because of that, they are no longer the defending league champions. The Giants were the better team on that day. Simply put: you are exactly as good as your record shows (or, in the playoffs, you are only as good as your last win).
When Edwards has time, he makes good decisions with the ball. If the receivers get open faster, if the line provides more time, if the running game works better, the pick 6s won't happen. But all these things are happening because defenses are successfully poking their fingers in the Bills' weaknesses.
Why argue about such an unclear, unhelpful distinction?

News: Amber Rose & Wiz Khalifa's Baby Finally Arrives, Son's "Boss" Name Revealed
Thursday, Feb 21, 2013 6:17PM
Former video vixen Amber Rose and fiancé Wiz Khalifa finally became parents today (February 21) after recent gossip and labor rumors scattered the Internet earlier in the week.
Details of their son's delivery and birth name surfaced online Thursday afternoon.
Wiz Khalifa better take any tummy troubles elsewhere! The rapper and his fiancée Amber Rose welcomed their first child, son Sebastian Taylor Thomaz, on Thursday, Feb. 21, the proud dad announced via Twitter. "Happy Birthday!!!" Khalifa -- born Cameron Thomaz - writes. "Everyone welcome this perfect young man into the world." (PEOPLE)
Just yesterday, Rose denied being in labor and said her due date was not until this upcoming weekend.
"Good morning Rosebuds & Rosestuds Muva is not in labor nor did I have the baby yet I just had a doc appt yesterday Lol that's all. ;-)," she tweeted February 20th.
"I got a million congratulation texts yesterday for having the baby... It was sweet but our Chicken nugget is still baking. :-)"
"My due date isn't until Feb 24th & this is my first baby so he may come early he may come late but either way he'll be here soon -Muva" (Amber Rose's Twitter)
In late January, Wiz and Amber joked about what they named their baby.
"Five more weeks to go, I'm due in five weeks," Rose revealed. " It's not really a common name. It's a normal name, it's just not common. It's not common. ... We had the girl's name already, we're not going to say that either because we might have a girl next. It's funny because I came up with the name for our boy and immediately he came up with a rapper name for him. ... It has to be a surprise. It's a total boss name for a boy. " ("Big Boy's Neighborhood")
Back in October, Khalifa said he hoped they would wed before Rose gave birth.
"Nah, there's no date set yet. But we'll probably get licensed and married before the baby's born, and do a wedding afterwards because it makes more sense for the baby to be in the wedding than for her to be pregnant. Some people, they rush and do it. But, it works both ways." (XXL Mag)

Saturday marked 72 years since the attack on Pearl Harbor. To commemorate Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day there were memorial ceremonies across the country.
Here in Michiana we spoke to a 92 year old WWII veteran from Niles. He reflected on his time in the service and told us what this day means for him now. "We were able to see some of the ovens that people were just tall enough to walk into. A lot of young folk that I talk to don't even know what Pearl Harbor was. And without history, without knowing where you've been you can't know where you're going," said Henry Sterling Blair. He was a Staff Sergeant who served in the army and air force.

The following is Alabama head football coach Nick Saban's statement during his weekly news conference held Sept. 9, 2013:
"Obviously this
is an exciting game for our team and the players in our program. I think this
is the great thing about college football. Two outstanding teams. They
obviously had a great year last year and are off to a fantastic start. Our team
is in a little bit of an unusual circumstance to have one game, a bye week,
which I think we had a good week, but now we have a big challenge on the road.
I think the most important things in games like these (are that) people can
stay focused and disciplined to do simple, fundamental things correctly:
assignment errors, missed assignments, undisciplined eye control, when
you get away from being a good blocker, finishing blocks, good tackling –
especially in space, catch, run after catch, cover, pass rush lanes – a lot of
basic, fundamental things that when you look back and say, 'What happened in
the game before?' a lot of those things were issues and problems. Everybody has
to take care of business. We have to be our team, playing our game, taking care
of our business. Everybody has to do their job. When you play against really
good players, which they have really good players and players who are capable
of making very explosive plays on any down in the game, any lack of that
ability to focus and discipline is going to help them be able to make those
plays. If you take care of the little things, do the little things right, it's
going to give you the best opportunity to be successful. It's like if you take
care of the cents, the dollars can add up. If you don't, it never happens.
[Texas A&M] is a fantastic offensive football team. You get 600 yards a
game, you average 58 points a game. They did very similar statistically last
year. Over time, it's a great concept. They have the right kind of players to
execute the concept, and they do a very good job of executing their plays. You
can say that they spread you out and run a screen. They go fast. Well, they go
fast and run screens, but they execute them well. To me, it's not the scheme.
It's not the going fast. It's their ability to do those things and execute
extremely well, in terms of what they do and their players have a lot of
confidence in it and they do a really good job of it.
"Defensively, I
know some people have questions [about Texas A&M], but to me they played
well defensively. They are physical, they're tough, they play hard. They have
given up a few big plays early in the season, probably due to mental errors or
something, I don't know. We struggled last year in the game with them, and I think
it's going to be the same kind of things of importance on offense. We are going
to have to block, execute, going to have to throw and catch [the ball], going
to have make good decisions and play our game. Get a hat on a hat, eliminate
negative plays and try to not get behind in the down and distance and take
advantage of opportunities when we get them. These guys have good specialists,
and they are very good on special teams. You don't win 11 games and do the
things that these guys have done and not be really good in every phase of the
game. The hurry-up, speed, up-tempo is something that the defensive players
have got to be able to adjust to. We are going to have to play a lot of players
in the game, so more guys have to be ready to play disciplined football and
make good decisions based on what they are supposed to do. Last year when we
didn't do that, we really paid for it, and hopefully we can do a little better
this year."

The BeatitudesPosted by Ms Fernandes in Religious Education, tags: beatitude, branches, grade5, vine
We are getting to know more about ourselves this semester.
In Religious Education we made branches that represent each one of us. On the leaves we mentioned our gifts and talents. The light green leaves were gifts we see in others. We discussed the Beatitudes and looked for examples of these in our lives today. Finally, we added a Personal Beatitude to our branches.
Thanks Mrs Fallace for the wonderful Beatitude display.

I patronize nice people.
I eat at their restaurants if I think they're kind to their employees. I buy products from people I know (like Possets Perfumes and Sweet Libertine). I frequent stores where they make me feel comfortable (like Nest and Casa DeLorenzo).
So, it's no wonder that I'm drawn to an author who writes like I think – in relationships and meaningful friendships. And, especially since she was kind enough to grant me an interview (my first podcast) and to make time for me on her visit to Cincinnati for a book tour (my first video). She's genuinely nice and I love that being a best-selling author hasn't gone to her head. Here's her update on life and her new book, The Shortest Distance Between Two Women. Thanks KRIS RADISH for being our BlogTalkRadio interview today and for sharing this:
My novels always celebrate the absolute necessity of female friendships and I have my mother to thank for showing me how to be a wonderful friend.I have dozens of lovely memories that center around watching my mother, Pat Radish, interact with her girlfriends. She would be on the phone, sitting on the porch, or the bridge club would be over….and nothing interfered with the bridge club.
When she was with her friends my mother's entire being was also alive and happy. She laughed and sometimes cried and I think those were the moments when she was most true, most herself, most lost in the joy of living.
There was wine and martinis and the 1950's-plus obligatory cigarettes and lots of food and laughter that still echoes throughout my entire life.
I had no idea I was taking Girlfriend Lessons back then – but I was – and I like to think that I have been a good student and that I have also been a good teacher for my own daughter.
I also know it is important for us to honor those relationships – and to sometimes put them first. It is important to celebrate and to make time and to pull away from the rigors of daily life and fall into the arms of a friend who just simply loves us no matter what we say or do. There really is no greater gift.
Somehow this celebration has turned into my life's work. My novels – six-plus! showcase female friendships in a way that not only honors my life and its relationships but those long ago lessons my mother was teaching me.
And now my daughter, a college sophomore, is finding out what it means to have true friends who will go the distance – even when you have the flu, are broke, or simply need a really damn good cry.
Kris Radish is the author of six novels, and two books of non-fiction. Her latest novel, The Shortest Distance Between Two Women, was published in August by Bantam Dell. Her seventh novel, Hearts on a String will be available, also by Bantam, in June. A former full-time journalist, Radish is working on her eighth novel and several books of non-fiction. Find out more about her by visiting www.krisradish.com….and please have a glass of wine when you do so!
It's a lovely circle – this female friendship stuff – and I am beyond thrilled to be in the middle of it all, telling it like it is, and celebrating my mother, daughter, and all of you every second of the day.
Thanks Kris!

Two people have been arrested in connection with the death of a Valley man who went missing Friday, Tempe police said.
Chad Norris, 33, and Tamara Norris, 31, were booked into Tempe City Jail after police collected evidence linking them to the death of 45-year-old Jason Johnson.
Johnson's body has not been found.
Johnson disappeared sometime after leaving his job at about 6 p.m. at Scottsdale Auto Collision Center at 7015 S. Harl Dr. in Tempe, which he co-owns with Chad Norris. Johnson did not show up for work on Monday and according to family members missed several appointments over the weekend.
Tempe police detectives said they spoke with several employees during the course of the missing person's investigation and learned about a confrontation that occurred between Johnson and Chad Norris.
Around 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Johnson drove an employee from the Scottsdale branch of the business to the Tempe branch, according to a court document. A short time later, Chad Norris arrived. Two employees confirmed they saw the two men talking in an office of the warehouse.
Police said they contacted Chad and Tamara Norris about Johnson's disappearance and the pair was unwilling to cooperate.
Warrants were obtained for the warehouse and Johnson's car, which was still parked there. Police said they discovered evidence of what appeared to be gunshots and blood spatter. There were also attempts to conceal the evidence, officers said.
Tempe detectives began a surveillance operation at Norris's home in Tempe. Chad Norris left and drove to the Tempe warehouse, where he was met by his wife, Tamara.
Detectives saw Chad Norris loading between seven to nine large dark trash bags into the rear of the trunk of the SUV and left the business in his truck. A short time later, Norris arrived back at his house and attached a white box trailer to the tan SUV, detectives said. The trailer was registered to Norris.
Police said Norris drove to Avis Lube at 3620 E. Indian School, where he disconnected the trailer and then left. The trailer remained under constant surveillance by police.
Detectives said they saw two U.S. Border Patrol agents who responded to a request for K-9 cadaver units by Tempe police. Both K-9 units are trained to search for human remains and both alerted on the trailer, police said.
After obtaining a search warrant, detectives said they discovered what they believe to be a homicide scene, Glover said. Blood was located inside the trailer along with spent shell casings and a wallet that contained Johnson's Arizona driver's license, Glover said. They also found cash and a set of keys.
Inside one of the gray garbage bins was a large plastic cup under which was a piece of paper with Jason's name and address printed on it, police said.
On Wednesday, a further review of the trailer revealed spent shell casings and additional possible blood splatter, detectives said.
A subsequent search warrant was requested for the Norris house, where evidence of multiple firearms were found, including one of the same caliber of the spent shell casing found in the trailer, police said.
Glover said police investigators believe Johnson's body was hidden in an unknown location. Based on the evidence obtained in the case, detectives arrested Chad Norris on a charge of second-degree murder. Tamara Norris was arrested for felony hindering.
The Tempe Police Department is asking people with any information that would lead to Johnson's whereabouts to call the Tempe police non-emergency line at 480-350-8311 or Silent Witness at 480-948-6377 with any information.

The Minnesota Vikings are more than just an NFL team, they are a legacy. Passed on to me by my father and I would very much like to pass my fandom on to my children as well. All of us here live and breathe Minnesota Vikings football, it consumes us. I no longer live in MN, I live in FL but that doesn't mean my passion for them has dropped off in any way. There is a bar I go to on Sundays down here to watch Viking games that usually has at least 100 fans show up to cheer on the purple.
Fellow Vikings fans I know you are all disgusted with the state of Minnesota dicking around when it comes to the stadium issue and there is a real chance this team will move because the leaders of the state of MN lack the "Teticular Fortitude" to pass a stadium bill, let's give them some incentive, as Vikings fans let's show them our passion. LET'S DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!
How many Vikings fans do you think there are scattered across America? One-million? Two-million?
Now ask yourself something: How much does keeping the team in MN mean to me?
Would you be willing to donate $1, $10, $50, $100, $1000?
Today I purchased the website www.savethevikings.org
I'm curious what you think? If the feedback is positive I'll get it up and running and make it a place where we as Vikings fans can donate money towards a new stadium and hopefully at some point in the near future present a SIZEABLE donation to the state to help with the funding of the stadium.
This is something that all of us can be a part of, something we all can work towards, something that will require the fundraising and grassroots efforts of all of us!
If this happens it's up to us to get the word out, it will be our message to the state of Minnesota that we as Vikings fans WILL NOT tolerate losing the Vikings!!!

Whites unveil two new signings
1:47pm Friday 1st February 2013 in Headlines By Joel Holt
SALISBURY City have made a double signing to aid their promotion push.
The leaders have welcomed back midfielder Rob Sinclair, brother of Stuart, to the Ray Mac on a free transfer from Stevenage Borough and have also snapped up Gateshead's Glenn Wilson until the end of the campaign.
Rob Sinclair, 23, who signed yesterday afternoon (Thursday, January 31), was a fans' favourite during his spell at the club between 2008 to 2010, making more than 52 appearances.
Meanwhile, Wilson is a fresh face among the supporters, who brings an excellent track record to Old Sarum. The 26-year-old natural defender, has featured for many football league clubs, including Crystal Palace and Crawley Town - where he played alongside Chris Giles.
"It's crucial we strengthen the squad for the last period of the season," said Clarke.
"I'm over the moon with both signings. Sinclair possesses great quality and by rejoining the club he's added a massive boost to our talented squad of players.
"Wilson is somebody I've had my eye on for a while. He's a great character and he's got plenty of experience. I very much look forward to working with him as well."
Both players are eligible to feature in tomorrow's squad for the match against Bromley tomorrow afternoon (3pm).
But Clarke's busy transfer business is not complete. After winger Elliott Frear recently expressed his interest to the Journal that he wanted to stay with the club, he's now agreed more permanent terms.
He said: "I'm really happy to be here until the end of the season. I'm enjoying my football and I'd like to thank the managerial staff for the faith they've shown in me."

A man who fled after crashing a stolen car into a police vehicle and hid inside a garage before he was arrested Wednesday is being held in county jail as an undocumented immigrant pending deportation, a San Mateo County sheriff's spokeswoman said.
Valentin Jimenez, 29, of East Palo Alto, is in the San Mateo County Jail on hold pending deportation by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, according to sheriff's spokeswoman Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt.
Jimenez, whose country of origin is Mexico, was arrested by Menlo Park police on Wednesday inside a garage in the 1300 block of Madera Avenue on multiple charges after he drove his car into a police cruiser and ran into a residential area, police said.
Police secured a perimeter around the neighborhood, bordered by Carlton and Hamilton avenues, Ivy Drive and Willow Road and officers from the sheriff's department and Palo Alto Police Department joined in to search for the suspect. Jimenez rammed the police vehicle at about noon Wednesday after officers spotted his car, determined that it had been reported stolen and tried to pull him over.
Jimenez was arrested for possessing a stolen car, assault with a deadly weapon, felony hit and run, and resisting or obstructing a police officer.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- An incredibly warm air mass is blowing northward into the region today from the central plains where 90s and 100s have been common in recent days.
As a result we're expecting what looks to be the hottest day of 2012 in the area today as high temperatures will be in the mid 90s just about everywhere and as more humidity begins to show up this afternoon, our heat indices will begin to reach triple digits.
A Heat Advisory will be in effect for just about the entire viewing area, so it will be a good idea to stay hydrated and in the shade or air conditioning later today.
A weak cold front will swing through the area tonight allowing slightly cooler air into the Upper Mississippi Valley for tomorrow.
There will be a slight chance for a few showers and thunderstorms tomorrow and Friday, but a better chance lies ahead for Saturday as highs "cool" to the mid and upper 80s this weekend.

Jackson County authorities seized a moonshine still and untaxed alcohol in Scottsboro on Monday.
Members of the Narcotics Unit found the still on East Willow Street and arrested 38-year-old Jason Michael Ferguson of Scottsboro. He was charged with possession of a moonshine still and possession of untaxed alcohol.
The still had been constructed using five-gallon buckets, copper tubes and other household items. Approximately ten gallons of corn mash was also found.
Officials with the Jackson County Sheriff's Department said they also found three gallons of moonshine in various containers at the home. While such finds are not common, authorities said it is still illegal.
"This is only the second one since I've been here. It's not very common. The new state law allows you to make beer and wine up to a certain amount, which is legal, but whiskey is still a no-no. You can't make any whiskey," said Chief Deputy Rocky Harnen.
One of Ferguson's neighbors said that with a five-year-old son, learning about an illegal still nearby is disturbing.
"That's definitely not good. What people do is their business, but it's not really good for kids around," said Christopher York.
Ferguson remains in the Jackson County Jail awaiting bond to be set.

Title:Aztec invasion in the Big Apple
Author:Maria del Carmen Amado
Original Language:Spanish
Translator:Telesh Lopez
Body:Statistics show that the Mexican community is the third largest immigrant community in New York City.
Janet Ortega, 29, belongs to a new group of Mexicans who chose the Big Apple as their new destination. She works in a restaurant on Second Avenue and 110th Street. She decided to come to the United States, "because here there is work and in Mexico there isn't."
In the establishment, the faint lights mixed with music from Los Bukis, the smell of food and the residue of liquor filled the air, the clock marked 11 in the morning and Janet was already working. "I will have a double shift and I will continue until four in the morning, said the mother of five children whose salary for 15 hours will be $140. "Life here is very difficult here for Mexicans, she admitted.
Mainly concentrated in the western part of the country, in the last 10 years, a large number of young people like Ortega, mainly from the Mixteca region, have veered their way toward New York and North Carolina.
According to Consul Norberto Terrazas, head of legal aid for Mexican nationals at the Mexican Consulate in New York, the number of Mexicans is about 500,000 and 600,00 in the metropolitan area (including the five boroughs, New Jersey and Connecticut) and goes up approximately 10 percent a year. The Census, which could not count thousands of immigrants, registered 186,876.
As the third largest community group in New York, this communitys situation is not one of the best, and, like any first generation of immigrants, their case is dramatic. They face health problems, housing and education, without escaping problems with the law (there are 367 in New York Citys prisons).
Many are objects of discrimination, while their political participation is low. But our compatriots have a real good reputation and they are hard workers, said Terrazas.
The biggest problem is their average income is between $13,000-$15,000 a year, the lowest in the city.
In the consulate, we get visits from about 400 persons a day with various needs. The principal one being after immigrating, is the need for legal advice, said Terrazas.
For Mexicans, who traditionally had a high rate of temporary stays, the situation has changed in the last decade, explained Robert Smith, a professor at Barnard College. Because of the rise of restrictions in crossing the border, their stay is permanent, because if before they came and left, now they can't.
Nevertheless, they are not alone. The consulate and community organizations offer education, to prevent their migratory vulnerability to continue being objects of abuse, explained Terrazas. Many think because they are undocumented they have no rights, but they are protected by the constitution in case of arrests, searches and other penal problems.
With an age range of 15 to 40-years-old, and because of separation from their families, many Mexican immigrants are prey to gangs and crimes that lead to prison. They are also objects of discrimination for Anglo and African Americans, whom, "for being larger think we are afraid of them," said Ortega. One more thing: because a high percentage of Mexican immigrants do not speak English, their assimilation into society is slower.
But Mexicans are ready to face the difficulties, said waiter Celestino Sarmiento. We work hard to help our families progress and show that Latinos will get to the top, said the 23-year-old.
Our community needs to organize and demand respect because we contribute to the economy, said Gerry Dominguez, director of an organization in El Barrio, which offers English classes and assistance finding jobs and help with immigration cases. Our fight is strong to help the poorthe majority being undocumented people who cannot get public assistance as other groups do."
The Tepeyac Association, which yesterday concluded a journey of 45 days with the Guadalupan torch, are also trying to legalize the almost eight million undocumented immigrants, 50 percent of which are Mexican. " We want more support and compassion for immigrants, defending their human rights and from the abuses of labor," said Tepeyac Director Joel Magallan.
Although there are 367 Mexicans in prison, immigration violations are not very high, and most are sentenced for drugs, homicides, robbery and fraud.

Weston Price Diet Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
The Weston Price Diet, funded by the Weston A. Price Foundation, aims to cure the ills of the world with a nutrient-dense diet full of animal fat. The doctor behind the diet claims dental ails, along with health issues, are contributed to the foods common in the typical diet, including soy and low-fat foods. Instead of eating processed meals and fast food, the dieter should choose butter, raw milk, cheese, liver, eggs and meat. There are no starches on the list of foods.
List of Ingredients
Lower carbohydrate diet of raw or unprocessed foods.
Product Features
If Dr. Atkins met Dr. Price, the two would likely have hit it off. According to Dr. Weston Price, diet is the main reason people have dental and health issues. Putting the wrong nutrients and foods in the body leads a degradation of health. The solution is eating foods that are not processed by the hand of man, including many raw varieties of foods that are typically processed.
The official website for the Weston A. Price Foundation mentions the Weston Price Diet briefly, but not as an organized diet. Instead, the diet is promoted as a healthy choice made by the Price family. There is reference to new dietary guidelines as proposed by Dr. Weston Price. The guidelines are published in the Healthy 4 Life book available free online.
We did find grains and bread, so this diet is not a low carbohydrate diet as we initially thought. Instead, the doctor explains that whole foods work as natural appetite suppressants leaving the dieter feeling full so they eat less. Weight loss is not a major theme, but it is implied in some parts of the book.
Whole foods are healthier than processed foods, but fats like lard are considered healthy, which could be a stretch. Olive oil and coconut oil are good choices, but coconut oil often contains trans fatty acids, which are unhealthy. Much of the information for the Weston Price Diet contradicts advice from major diet experts. This is confusing for the dieter.
- Healthy 4 Life or the Weston Price Diet is free online.
- Promotes healthy, whole foods instead of processed, fast foods.
- May be too complicated for some dieters.
- Requires consuming foods that may be difficult to find.
- The doctor is a dentist not a nutritional expert.
The Weston Price Diet is based on theory and not scientific or clinical evidence. The dieter will likely benefit from leaving behind processed foods and fast food meals, but adding lard to the menu could counteract any weight loss. We suggest leaving behind processed foods and adding in lean protein, complex carbohydrates and a healthy supplement for weight loss.

SETT: What I've Been Working on for the Past Year
For the last year or so I've been working on something big, which I've been stubbornly keeping a secret. I know that this has been annoying to readers, but I felt that skirting around the issue was slightly better than avoiding it altogether. Of course, it's also been hard for me to keep it a secret, since I really love talking about what I'm working on.
We're not done yet, but the light at the end of the tunnel is in view, so I figure it's probably a good time to introduce what we've been building.
The project is called SETT, and it's a new blogging platform. Over the next few weeks I'm going to talk more about what specifically we're doing, but first I want to talk about the problems we're solving.
Bloggers care about one thing: audience. We want to reach as many people as possible, and we want to connect with them in a meaningful way. None of the current blogging platforms are optimized for either of these goals.
There are two methods of interaction between a blogger and his audience. First, he can stand on his pedestal, as I am now, and speak to his audience. But let's not kid ourselves-- this isn't a conversation. It's a lecture.
The second method of communication is through blog comments, which are universally understood to be a disaster (hence the sprouting up of better-but-still-bad solutions like DISQUS).
I don't know how many active readers I have, but I know that when I ask for feedback in a yearly survey, I get several hundred responses. Most of the responses are quite detailed and clearly the product of considerable thought. This says to me that my readers care about my message and want to be part of a community, not just a mass of passive readers. If that's true, why does every post average only 20 comments or so?
I think the reason so few people comment is the same reason I rarely comment on blogs, including my own: there's essentially no point. We all know that as soon as the newest post becomes the second-newest post, no one is reading the comments anymore.
If a post gets more than 30 comments (let alone 100), blog readers usually won't even skim the comments, because it's just too daunting. I actually read every comment on my blog (I probably have about the biggest blog possible where that's still an option), and I'd actually like to respond to comments, but there's really no guarantee (or even likelihood) that the person I'm responding to will see my reply.
Beyond blogger-to-audience blog posts and comments, there's a critical method of communication that's absent from every current blogging platform: user to user communication.
The internet has a huge number of strong cohesive communities that we're all familiar with, like Reddit, Hacker News, Fatwallet, Slashdot, Something Awful, and OfftTopic. None of these are centered around blogs. This is because blogging doesn't allow user to user communication. Forums, although hindered by a number of inherent problems in the platform, are the quintessential community sites. Their only tool is user-to-user communication, which speaks to its utility as a community builder.
Our process in building SETT was to approach every decision with the mentality of "in an ideal world, how SHOULD this work?" As a result, we've improved blogging in almost every aspect. Even for bloggers who don't care about community, SETT is probably the best choice.
These many improvements, though, are secondary to our primary goal of enabling conversations and communities to thrive on blogs. Our overriding belief is that the nature of the blogger has changed over the past ten years, but that his tools haven't.
It's time to build a revolutionary blogging platform that retains enough of the old to be comfortable and familiar, but pushes the envelope forward a sufficient distance to fundamentally change what it means to be an active blog reader.
When I first came up with this idea and we brainstormed what it might look like, we had only a foggy idea. We knew we wanted to integrate certain concepts, but we weren't sure exactly what the end product would look like. Over the past year, as we've carefully crafted and molded each part of the platform, our vision has slowly come into focus. We're not done yet, but it's finished enough for me to now see what the future of blogging could look like, and I'm excited by it.
If my account of what's wrong with blogging resonates with you, you're going to be very excited about SETT when it's released, whether you're a blogger or a reader.


text: I didn't get to watch as much of the game as I would have liked ,as I was in the awesome Inglorious Basterds, but form what I did see it appeared that we were giving way too much cushion to all the N.O. receivers which is amazingly frustrating but remember this we had at one time a 4th and 6th round pick covering a very good group of receivers who have all been in the league for a good amount of time. Not that makes me feel super about our D but it does make me take a step back, also I was listening to John Harris's rant on 1560 and said that Okam often took the wrong hole and that the D was way over slanted to the strong side almost the whole game. To me pre-season is a time when young players try o prove they belong and new coaches try to impress the boss and as Gregg Williams was just bounced by the Jags and hired to revamp the Saints D he wantec to how everyone how much of a bad ass he still is (and yes believe me as a skins fan as well I know all too well double g's arrogance). So I guess my point is that yes they sucked but they sucked against a great O, a back playing in his Super Bowl and a overall unfamiliarity with their new scheme. I say that if they look this bad against the Jets who have a new rokie Qb or worse Kellen Clemens then yes we should start to wonder and worry but me I'm just planning on enjoying a sport in which our owner isn't too cheap to actually improve the team (Thanks for Mike Hampton, Russ Ortiz and Aaron Boone especially as he has really helped out the youngsters on the team, Also I dislke Coop)
