Meizu MX2 Goes Official with 4.4'' Screen, Quad-Core CPU
via res.meizu.comToday, Meizu Mobile has made its new Meizu MX2 smartphone official in Beijing, after having announced last month that the phone would be launched today. The new device was announced as the successor of the handset vendor's Meizu MX, with a nice range of enhancements packed inside, as well as with better hardware specifications. The new mobile phone was made official with a 4.4-inch touchscreen display on the front, capable of delivering a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution (HD+). It also offers a 347ppi pixel density.
The smartphone features an incredibly thin bezel and is made of stainless steel. A physical button is also present on the device's front (which actually makes it resemble the Apple iPhone a lot). The handset's covers are made of plastic, and Meizu decided to go for black and white color combinations for it (a black front and a white back plate). Meizu MX2 was unveiled with a 1.6GHz MX5S quad-core processor inside, complemented by 2GB of RAM for increased performance capabilities.
The handset also comes to the market with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for recording videos at full HD resolution (1080p at 30fps). Furthermore, it comes with a front camera to enable users to make video calls while on the go. The specifications list of the new mobile phone also includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, along with built-in GPS receiver, and support for 3G networks.
Meizu MX2 is powered by Google's Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system and features the handset vendor's Flyme 2.0 user interface loaded on top. The device was announced for the Chinese market for the time being, and there's no info available on whether it will be launched in other countries as well.
Coming to the pricing part, Meizu will be selling three versions of the device. The Meizu MX2 starts from a 16GB version priced at 2,499 yuan ($400), whereas the 32GB will be sold for an equivalent of $480. There's a 64GB too and that will be retailing for an equivalent of $640. What are your thoughts on the device? Would you consider buying it off eBay? Read more at http://thedroidguy.com/2012/11/meizu-mx2-official/#HlSgsXGgJ1IstxJC.99

LA CROSSE (WKOW) -- La Crosse residents are being reminded of a local ordinance that prevents them from walking away while they warm up their cars.
A WKBT-TV report says the city's ordinance prevents people from leaving unattended vehicles running. It applies to vehicles on the street or in other public places, and it carries a fine of $114.
Police Lt. Patrick Hogan says the ordinance is in place to protect people from car thieves. He says when vehicles are left unlocked with the key in the ignition, someone passing by who might not have thought about stealing a car might be tempted to take advantage of an easy opportunity.
Police say the ordinance doesn't apply to cars that use electric starter because keys aren't left in the vehicle that way.

Happy Thanksgiving From The Staff At Personal Liberty Digest
On behalf of the entire staff of Personal Liberty Digest, I want to wish each and every one of you a Happy Thanksgiving. It is our hope and prayer that you have been as blessed and enlightened by the news and opinion we provide every day as we have been by your patronage and the wonderful comments and contributions you make…
False Flag Terror And TSA Totalitarianism
A suspected bomb was found on a Munich-bound flight Thursday, a convenient coincidence in light of the growing revolt over the Transportation Security Administration porn show/grope fest going on at American airports.
The Missing Story
While it's true that slightly more than half of those who voted sent a signal to Washington that they want government to drastically decrease spending, taxes and regulation, the painful reality is that slightly less than half of the voters cast their ballots in favor of Democratic candidates who, with just a few notable exceptions, want to increase spending, taxes and regulation. Read this story to learn what the election means…
The Tea Party May Save Us Yet
There has been a huge sigh of relief in the corridors of Calgary's oil towers following the Republican victory in the mid-term election. The GOP win assures much-needed changes in the Federal government's energy policy; changes that will benefit American consumers as well as Canadian petroleum producers. Read this article to learn what those benefits are…
Blowback Against TSA Grows
The blowback against the increasingly invasive Transportation Security Administration porn show/grope fest at airports is growing — finally.
The End of "Olbermania"
With the exception of the occasional troll who bumbles onto our message boards, liberals are few and far between here in the enlightened empire of the Personal Liberty Digest. Therefore, something tells me the number of Bob Livingstonians who bemoaned the indefinite suspension of MSNBC's reigning rant-meister Keith Olbermann is lower than the number of transgender census takers working the northwestern Montana survivalist compounds.
Dirty Tricks
Reports of ballot problems and possible election fraud are already beginning to surface as the elected elites do all they can to maintain a grip on their power.
Radio Free Ameriʞa
Even Stalin didn't move this fast. It took Uncle Joe 15 years to put an x in the box marked "Trotsky." Note to Juan Williams: Stay the hell out of Mexico for the foreseeable future.
Clamping Down On New Technologies
With the advent of new communications technologies like voice-over-Internet and text messaging, the Feds are having a tough time monitoring our conversations. And they aren't particularly happy about it.

Remaining Events for 2013
October 12, 2013: Grabbing the Wild Goat – A 1-Day Workshop with Joel Long
November 15, 2013: Opening Date for 2014 Fellowship Competition
Sudden Fiction! Flash Fiction! Where Did It Come From? And What Is It?
A panel with Ron Carlson, James Thomas, Robert Shapard, and Chris Merrill
Saturday, June 8, 2013
7:30pm at Alta Lodge's Deep Powder Room
Sudden Fiction! Flash Fiction! Where Did It Come From? And What Is It? The first answer is Utah, to which the panel's editors and authors are all connected in a variety of vital ways, both personal and professional. There is no notorious gang here, but there may yet be a whispered conspiracy of literary invention. They may confess what they know and talk about it now. "Flash Fiction" is now prevalent in creative writing classrooms and workshops, regarded as a literary genre and the topic conferenced about, defined on Wikipedia, and the phrase featured on any number of Google pages. But what does it all really mean? Perhaps there is no suitable answer, but this panel will tackle the question anyway.
Panel Moderator: David Kranes
- Ron Carlson has published a number of novels and short story collections, and is often anthologized. He teaches at the University of California, Irvine, and his book Ron Carlson Writes a Story is widely read as a lively text on the craft of fiction.
- James Thomas is an author, editor and teacher associated with Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. He is one of the original founders of Writers @ Work, a founding editors of Quarterly West, and co-edited Flash Fiction and Flash Fiction Forward.
- Robert Shapard taught literature and fiction writing for many years at the University of Hawaii. He was the managing editor of Western Humanities Review and co-edited Sudden Fiction, Sudden Fiction International, and New Sudden Fiction.
- Chris Merrill has published many books of poetry and nonfiction, and is co-editing the upcoming Flash Fiction International. He currently directs the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa.
This panel is free and open to the public. This program has received funding from the Utah Humanities Council (UHC). UHC offers funding to empower individuals and groups in Utah to improve their communities through active engagement in the humanities.
Writers @ Work's is holding its annual writers conference at Alta Lodge in Alta, Utah, from June 5-9. See our conference page for all the details and register today!

It seems like any other week in Steelers land. The team is preparing for the big showdown the following Monday night in Candlestick Park against the San Francisco 49ers. But there is a new man in Steelers headquarters. It's not a player or coach, he's kind of a mystery man, David Becker, the new assistant to the equipment manager that the team just hired.
But David isn't just your ordinary, everyday assistant to the equipment manager. He's a very intelligent and well-groomed assistant to the equipment manager, and people soon take to him and enjoy his presence and wisdom, much like they always do, like, for instance, when he's an intelligent and well-groomed janitor, or an intelligent and well-groomed farm-hand, or an intelligent and well-groomed groundskeeper, or an intelligent and well-groomed bartender, etc, etc. Everyone can see that David is a very well-educated and bright man, but most don't know that his real name is Dr. David Banner--a man who spent many years as a successful research scientist and physician before having his world altered forever by a gamma radiation experiment gone awry. Now, whenever Dr. Banner becomes angry or outraged, he changes into a seven foot tall, green creature capable of great feats of strength. Believed to be dead, David must assume many identities as he travels the country searching for a cure or a way to control the beast that dwells within him. As fate would have it, he now finds himself in the presence of the AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers.
David Banner is a man who always touches the lives of the people he comes in contact with.
One of those people, on this particular part of the journey, is safety Troy Polamalu, the superstar of the Steelers defense. Troy suffered a hamstring injury in the Thursday night game against the Browns and is trying to find a way to get his leg as close to 100% as possible before the big contest Monday night against the 49ers. Troy and David get to know each other and soon become fast friends. David secretly admires Troy's ability to play with such reckless abandon on the field while being so peaceful and respectful off of it, and Troy is impressed with how charismatic and dynamic David is for being just an assistant to the equipment manager.
Troy is anxious to get out on the field and lead the defense to victory on Monday, but his hamstring just isn't healing fast enough. He doesn't know what to do, that is until the assistant to the team trainer boasts that he can heal Troy's injury and get him ready to play in Monday's game. You see, he knows of a remedy--a rarely used horse serum that he says has many benefits, including the ability to heal strained hamstrings. David overhears this conversation, and sure, maybe this rarely used horse serum can cure Troy's injury, but David is concerned with the possible complications. He warns Troy that he could be putting his life in danger. David knows what he's talking about, obviously, and puts some doubt into Troy's mind about using this very rare horse serum.
Not every player is quick to welcome David into their world, especially James Harrison and Brett Keisel, and after overhearing a conversation between David and Troy at practice that morning, they tell him to mind his own business, that they really need Troy to play in the big game against the 49ers. "What do you know?" they ask. As far as they can tell, David just your average, everyday assistant to the equipment manager; they are completely unaware of his secret past. They start to taunt David and laugh in his face, but David will have none of it. After all, he's just worried about Troy's condition. He knows he could be endangering his life by taking such a risky drug. "Is that what you want?" he asks both Brett and James. Eventually, this taunting escalates and the two players grab David by the arms and throw him into one of those equipment chests full of bandages and footballs and stuff like that. The two burly football players walk away laughing. Suddenly, a giant, green monster comes bursting out of this chest and looking menacingly in Brett and James' direction. They can't believe their eyes, but they're football players, and their instincts take over. Brett takes a run at the creature and attempts to tackle him, but the Hulk just grabs him by the beard and then picks him up and throws him over the goal posts. Harrison tries to sack the Hulk from behind, but the seven foot green monster doesn't go down as easily as your average quarterback does. The Hulk just grabs a barbell and wraps it around Harrison, leaving him trapped. The Hulk soon flees the scene, and everyone is in complete shock from what just happened. Troy sees the whole thing and, naturally, is stunned to have witnessed such a scary creature. However, he can't help but wonder what happened to his friend David and where he might have gone after being thrown into that storage chest.
Later that afternoon, at the Tuesday press conference, Coach Tomlin is answering the standard questions about the team when he is suddenly interrupted by tabloid reporter and David Banner nemesis, Jack Mcgee. It's no surprise that Mcgee is at this press conference. Whenever you see the Hulk, Mcgee is soon to follow close behind. He's very persistent, you know. Mcgee asks Tomlin if he's heard the rumors about the big, hulking creature that was seen at his practice facility earlier in the morning. "I'm not going to sit here and comment on any big, green monster," Tomlin says. "That's an unfounded rumor and to make any comment on that would be pure speculation. I'm not in the business of speculating. The only monsters I'm worried about, at this point, are the monsters that are going to be lining up for the 49ers this coming Monday. Those guys are scarier than any 7 foot tall green creature." "Surely you must know something," Mcgee retorts. "There had to be 53 eyewitnesses."
Wednesday morning, Troy finds David lacing some shoulder pads in the locker room and asks him where he ran off to after being harassed by Brett and James and if he saw or heard anything about the big, giant creature. David doesn't skip a beat as he asks Troy if he's still considering the use of that rare horse serum for his injured hamstring. He tells Troy that he's worried about his well-being. Troy seems more determined than ever to get in the game against San Fran no matter what.
The following Monday, hours before the big game against the 49ers, a very concerned David approaches Coach Tomlin and warns him about the lengths that Troy is willing to go to in order to play in the big game. He tells him that if Troy injects that rarely used horse serum into his injured leg he could be endangering his own life. "I'm not going to comment on any player who's life may or may not be in danger because of some rarely used horse serum," says Tomlin. "That's just pure speculation, and I'm not in the business of speculating. The only horses I'm worried about are the ones who will be lining up against us for the San Fransisco 49ers tonight."
David leaves Tomlin's office feeling pretty disgusted and once again runs into Harrison and Keisel. They ask him if he's still going to be butting into the team's business, and David tells them that he's only worried about his friend's welfare, and that if they were his friends, too, they wouldn't let him inject that rarely used horse serum into his injured hamstring. They tell David that if Troy doesn't volunteer to inject himself with that rarely used horse serum, they will do it for him. They then show off a syringe full of it to prove their point.
David sees this and immediately protests and then unsuccessfully tries to grab the drug from the huge defenders. Harrison and Keisel grab David by the arms and throw him into a storage closest where they feel he can't interfere any longer. They then go to get Troy so they can inject him with this rarely used horse serum.
David starts to scream, "NOOOOOOOOO! Troy! Don't do it! You don't know what you're taking! STOP!!!!!!! Troy! TRRROOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!" I think you know what happens next. Sure, David has only known Polamalu for a short time, but damn it, that doesn't stop him from being so concerned for his friend's health, and so emotionally committed that he turns into the big, hulking creature for a second time.
James and Brett think they're going to have their way with Troy until they hear this huge roar and then stand stunned in amazement as the double-doors of the storage closet come flying off the hinges. Standing there, once again, is that big, green monster who growls at James and Brett. Brett tries to take a run at the Hulk, but the monster just flings him into the air with one arm. Harrison also goes flying as he once again misses a sack on the big guy. The Hulk then realizes it's game-time and picks up Troy and runs him out to the field just before the opening kickoff.
The many thousands of fans in attendance are shocked to see this big, green creature running down the field with Troy Polamalu in his arms.
The fans, mostly 49ers faithful, start cheering loudly because they think the Hulk is a new free agent signing for their team. The cheers startle the green monster, and he turns around and roars at the crowd before running off into the night.
Jack Mcgee, who of course bought a ticket from a scalper before the game, knows the creature isn't some new 49er player, and he runs onto the field trying to catch the Hulk. "Stop John! Come back!" Unfortunately for Mcgee, security guards quickly grab him and just assume that he's a drunk and escort him out of Candlestick Park.
Standing in the huddle with his teammates, Troy realizes that he doesn't need that rarely used horse serum and goes on to have a big game and helps lead the Steelers to a huge victory.
The next day, Troy notices that David is packing up his things. He asks David where he's going. David tells Troy that he must leave; he can't explain why. Troy thanks David for his friendship and for his concern, and he says that the big green creature got him out of a jam and asks David where he was during all the commotion and if he saw the green thing, too. Troy says he's going to do his best to unite the entire group, including James and Brett, and he vows to lead them all the way to the Super Bowl. He asks David to please stay, but David tells him that he just can't, he must get out of town immediately. Troy asks David to promise to stop by and cheer the team on in the playoffs. David tells him that they'll do just fine without him and then walks off, never to be seen again.

Hello My Name Is...
John Frilando
I hope that you are as excited as I am about the opportunities that your child will have to take a wonderful adventure in 7th grade social studies. Though history, economics, cultures, political science and geography take up much of my professional and personal time I must confess that the Arizona standards for teaching this grade are among my favorite and I cannot wait to share them with my new students.
First, allow me to introduce myself and my briefly describe my qualifications for this important task. I am an accomplished trainer and business developer for several Fortune 500 companies, including the Ryder System and The Walt Disney Company as well as a couple of smaller organizations who are leaders in their prospective fields. In 2004, I decided to leave corporate America and return to school full time to get my degree in education so that I could do what I have always wanted to do, teach social studies to children. During my summers, I was a camp director responsible for the fun, safety and well being of both the campers as well as a counselor and specialist staff which consisted of mostly college students. After graduating with honors, I worked for Walt Disney World as a trainer for their College and International Student internship program which was made up of about 7,500 students from the U.S. and around the world who lived and worked at Walt Disney World while pursuing Disney sponsored classes, mostly in hospitality and management
In 2009, I took a position as a 6th, 7th and 8th grade social studies teacher at a school in Tucson. I also taught the elective of Investing and Entrepreneurship during my second year there. The opportunity became available to teach in Bullhead City, a smaller community, and I decided that it would be fantastic. My outside interests include traveling, both in the U.S. as well as internationally, cooking, film and golf. I am also a musician and sound engineer.
Enough about me; you must be interested in what your child will be learning in my classroom this year. What follows is a concise syllabus for 7th grade social studies.
As you can see, we have much to explore and discover. I make it my goal to always teach creatively and use as many sources as possible to keep my students engaged and excited about social studies but the school is only piece of the puzzle. I have always counted on the support and involvement of my parents as well as the cooperation of my students. Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns regarding your child's progress. As a partner in your child's educational and social development, I will contact you if I have any concerns.

Mercury Levels in Arctic FoxesThursday, May 9th, 2013
By Molly Michelson It seems Jeremy Piven isn't alone in suffering from high levels of mercury. Researchers publishing in PLoS One this week have determined that certain populations of arctic foxes are suffering, too. Arctic foxes on a Russian island called Mednyi in the northern Pacific have seen their population crash tremendously since the 1970s. […]

Farm Stand Apple Pie
Hands-On Time: 30min
Cook Time: 1h
Ready In: 1h 30min
Yield: 8
The best apples come from farm stands, and so do the best pies. Mile high and loaded with crumbly topping, this pie will give you that farm fresh flavor, right in your own kitchen. Brought along to a pot luck, or served on your holiday buffet, everyone will want a second slice -- and the recipe.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Make the filling. Toss together apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, spices and flour in a large bowl. Set aside. Make the topping. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour and sugar. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend in the butter, until coarse crumbs form.
- Remove the crust from the fridge and pour apples into it. It will seem like a lot of apples for that size pie, but they shrink while baking. Carefully sprinkle the topping on the apple filling, covering the entire pie to the crust edges. Place pie on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 45-55 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If necessary, cover the crust during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning.

Best 360 Waves Pomade
Answer: What is the Best 360 waves pomade ?
To answer this question is very simple, Their is absolutely no number 1 360 waves pomade out their. Everybody's hair texture is not the same, therefor the only way to know which one works at holding your hair down and developing waves is to try as many differnt wave grease products you can find. For example, if after a week you try a pomade out and you see now results, you need to try another pomade until you find the one that works best for you. One thing you should note is that not all waves grease poomades work for the same person. Just because your friend is using sportin waves to get waves doesn't mean that grease will work for you as well. So basically, u should try as many products you can separating them in weekly trials. If the 3rd product you tried does not work, start the next one.
Effectively, the total amount of times you should apply wave grease into your head is twice a week. If you go beyond twice a week, you risk killing your hair roots or even permanently damage it. It is known that everyones hair needs to breath just like your skin. In the mean time, you should focus on brushing your hair and being consistant with it which is the absolute key in any and all methods.
One of the ways to get 360 waves with 360 waves pomade fast is to start using specialized wave pomades such as Murrays, sportin waves, dax wave and groom, etc.. But at the same time, not all pomades work for everybody. Its possible that sportin waves only work for several people, or that murrays works better than nu-nile.. Some may say royal crown is good or that hair lotion works more better.
In order to get 360 waves with "sportin waves pomade" I would suggest using 360 style pomade. Before you start using the 360 waves pomade, you should get a hair cut first, then begin to use the pomade and brush it in. Don't forget to also use a brush in the shower. Depending on your hair style, you may a medium/soft brush, It depends on you. To get the complete fully detailed method, vist us at http://www.360-waves.com. There you will find out the various methods on how to get waves, and based on your hair style, it will pick out the method for you.


text: What if Blackmon doesn't test as well as most elite receivers do? Do we still take him if he runs a 4.5-4.6 forty? I think he has Michael Crabtree written all over him. They both were in similar offenses in college and seem to have the same skill set at 6'1" 210. In my recent post I agreed with Kiper in saying that Blackmon is a top notch number 2 receiver but a low end number 1. I think we should draft Claiborn in the first round when we trade for that number 4 pick and then grab up another OT like Adams or another elite OLineman at 22. Also in a recent interview Fisher said they could trade down and then trade back up as well, I'm not sure if he is ruling out anything. I also do not see brown getting picked in the 2nd round, he will test out as well as Miller did.

Real life Cinderella! I had an incredible experience at Davids Bridal in Ottawa, ON, Canada. My consultant was fantastic and all of the staff were so helpful. This dress is absolutely amazing! This was the first dress I tried on and I cried as soon as I saw myself. Both my mom and my mother in law were in tears. This dress is utter perfection! I feel and look like cinderella. It feels like such a quality dress and the skirt is actually really soft. The sweetheart neckline shows a fair bit of cleavage, but I am a bra size 38D-38DD, I will have it altered to have a better fit for me. I had my consultant pull this dress based on the photos and reviews on this website. My expectations weren't super high, because the photos here just don't do this dress justice!! I find the photos make the belt look kind of heavy, and like it sort of blocks off the chest area. It is such the opposite - the belt looks very light, not blocky, and the beading is so intricate, it's actually little pearls and gems, it looks beautiful. The skirt is light and puffy, very princess like. It's also as white as dresses come! Even though this was the first dress I tried on and we all knew it was perfect right away, I still wanted to try on a couple of others that I had in mind walking in to the store. Nothing compared, and trying on other dresses just reaffirmed even more to me that this is my perfect dress. It is so figure flattering too. I don't think theres a figure in the world this wouldn't look great on. I am a size 16 street clothes, and my dress was ordered in an 18. Normally I feel like an above average sized girl but I felt like the perfect little princess. I didn't feel heavy, this dress doesn't look bulky. We are getting married in late May, and I cannot wait to meet my handsome husband at the altar in this gorgeous dress. I am so over the moon in love with this dress. I really did not expect to love it this much, but it is perfect. Try this dress on! It is so worth it! :D I will comment again in June to post pictures from my wedding. I can't wait! Congratulations to all the brides to be out there - trying on dresses was such an exciting and magical experience. Enjoy it! March 4, 2013
simply stunning I never thought I would get a ballgown dress. After trying on several fit-n-flare and a-line, and not getting the wow, i put this on. I really wanted a train to walk down the aisle, so I ordered the cathedral length train which made this the prefect dress. It is so lightweight and comfortable, plus you don't need to wear any shapewear:) February 24, 2013
Completely me! I had bought another dress, a one shoulder, I already reviewed it on here. That dress was amazing, but I had doubts...it really didn't fit the mood of my wedding, it was too elegant for the relaxed and fun atmosphere I pictured. So I went back, I had written down the style of this dress to try on, and as I walked into the store, I saw it, and said yes, this is one I really wanted to try. Now, I'm an Irish red head, freckles, blue eyes, pale...and this dress was white, which everyone said stay away from. My previous dress was champagne. I put this on and it just brightened up my entire complexion...not what any of us expected I have a big chest, and the sweetheart neckline just looked beautiful. It's actually very light and so comfortable to wear, which is really what I wanted. The one thing that worried me the most about this dress was the ball gown part of it. I thought it would swallow me up and make me look huge...total opposite. It accentuated my curves. The dress is completely me...I was twirling in the store in it before I left. The exchange of dresses was so easy. It's 4 months from my wedding and I can't wait to wear it! February 7, 2013
Can't Wait to Wear It! I was looking for a ballgown silhouette with bling, and this one fit the bill perfectly!!! I am a plus size bride, and was elated to find that this was available for me to try on in the store. I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day! January 14, 2013

How Does a Food Addict Know If They Are Really Hungry?
What I have implemented for myself is a system that I like to call AA (Appetite Awareness). When I am hungry, I rate my level of hunger on a scale from 1 to 10; 0 to indicate not being hungry at all, and 10 to indicate that I'm feeling starved.
Sometimes we cannot tell the difference between biological and psychological hunger, so we automatically satisfy psychological hunger with food. So how do we know the difference? Biological hunger is when we haven't eaten for hours. Psychological hunger is when we desire to eat even after eating a big meal or when we are having a craving for a specific food.
When following a diet program, you do have some restrictions. If you follow the YOU: on a Diet program, you are eating 6 times a day. You eat breakfast, a snack, lunch, a snack, dinner, dessert (every other night) and then a final snack before 7:30pm. You are eating all day and eating whole grain foods that will make you feel full.
There are times you might desire or crave a specific food like pizza or chocolate cake, and you have conditioned yourself to feed this desire or craving with that specific food. When you are thinking about that pizza, or chocolate cake; that is when my AA (Appetite Awareness) Plan comes in handy.
Here is my plan:
My AA (Appetite Awareness) Plan teaches me to differentiate between biological hunger and psychological hunger. Before you know it, you figure out your psychological triggers and overcome them. You become more aware of your feelings and become in control of your appetite.
Let's face it, we are all going to have a day when no matter how hard we try we might feed that desire or craving with that piece of pizza or chocolate cake. The most important thing to do is to put it in the past and wake up the next day and get right back on program.
You know that I am a planner so here is my menu for this week:
Sunday and Thursday: stuffed whole wheat pizza
Monday and Saturday: chia meatballs and whole wheat pasta
Tuesday and Friday: baked tilapia;
Wednesday: turkey dogs with sauerkraut.
Remember my rules. Make a double batch for another meal and keep it simple! See you next week and let me know how you are doing on your journey. Feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, I would love to hear from you.

You may be surprised to learn that more men search for answers about whether their wives are cheating on them than vice versa. Somehow though, there hasn't been much research done on it… until recently. There are some signs your wife is cheating that are pretty reliable, especially when coupled with a more full-proof method. Some men even hire private investigators to follow their wives around. Hopefully, with my help, you'll be able to figure it out all on your own.
I do need to put a short disclaimer that you should not assume that your wife is cheating unless you have very good evidence. More-so than just displaying a few of the signs listed here. An accusation like that brings a large amount of distrust with it, which is why innocent until proven guilty is very applicable in these situations.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, let's move on to some of the signs your wife is cheating, shall we?
- She doesn't get mad anymore. This is a weird one, because it sounds like a good thing, right? Unfortunately, if your wife has suddenly stopped arguing and/or started getting you gifts, cards, etc. it could be a sign of an affair. Many women realize what they're doing it wrong and feel so guilty that they try to make up for it by doing things like these… or she's just trying to be nicer.
- Secretiveness. If she has suddenly started taking phone calls in other rooms, making sure you're not looking when texting, or locking her phone with a password you don't know – there's a good chance that she's hiding something… or someone.
- A final sign your wife is cheating is that she can't maintain eye contact when you ask her what she did that day. Researchers are finding more and more evidence that it is very hard to look someone in the eyes and lie to them. So if you're concerned she may be cheating, try to get her to look you in the eyes and tell you where she's been.
That's it, you can now easily tell whether your wife is cheating, right? If only. Unfortunately you might know little more than you did previously. I can still help though! What if I said that I could give you even more signs your wife is cheating, as well as reasons she might be cheating, and how to figure out for sure? Lucky for you, I CAN do that. If you look at the top-right of the page (or click here), you'll see where you can get my free report that contains all of that and more. If you're serious about finding out the truth, I highly recommend you download it… it's free after all.

Saw a similar post and wanted to hear your opinions.
K-Love is a superstar and here is why. A superstar can carry his team on his back, which Kevin Love has done. A superstar is the player who can hit the big shot, which Kevin Love has done many times. A superstar is someone who has a lot of talent and works hard to use it to the fullest. Kevin Love constantly works out with Russell Westbrook, D-Rose, and Kevin Durant. And lastly, a superstar is when you are being summoned to play for one of the greatest college coaches (Coach K) to play for team USA. Kevin Love has the respect of Coach K and Team USA members. In my humble opinion, K-Love is a superstar.

Role of Mitotic Checkpoint in the Sensitivity of Breast Cancer to Paclitaxel
Study Section:
Tumor Cell Biology IV
Scientific Abstract:
Background. To date, only limited pathologic, phenotypic, or genotypic tumor characteristics are available to predict whether a particular patient with breast cancer (BC) would benefit from paclitaxel. We propose that measurement of mitotic (M) checkpoint functionality could be used as a marker of paclitaxel sensitivity. This idea is based on the following evidence: (1) paclitaxel stabilizes microtubules and activates the M checkpoint, which is involved in regulation of the G 2 /M transition; (2) knocking down MAD2 or BubR1, 2 major components of the M checkpoint that regulate CDK1, results in dysfunction of the M checkpoint and confers resistance to paclitaxel. These findings, plus our ability to measure MAD2, BubR1, and CDK1 rapidly with a novel cell-cycle profiling device, led us to develop this translational research proposal. Objective/Hypothesis. A d ysfunctional M checkpoint predicts paclitaxel resistance . Specific Aims 1. Determine whether a dysfunctional M checkpoint can be used as a biomarker of paclitaxel resistance in breast cancer in vitro . 2. Validate that a dysfunctional M checkpoint contributes to paclitaxel resistance in vivo . Study Design. We designed 2 interdependent specific aims to assess M checkpoint function and its relationship to paclitaxel sensitivity in BC. Aim 1, we will quantitatively define M checkpoint status (functional or not) by statistically analyzing CDK1 activity and MAD2/BubR1 expression, and we will verify the relationship between M checkpoint status (measured conventionally and with our novel cell-cycle profiling device) and paclitaxel sensitivity in BC cell lines. Aim 2, we will evaluate the relationship between M checkpoint status and paclitaxel sensitivity in a xenograft model and in human breast tumor samples. Our goal is to confirm that a dysfunctional M checkpoint is associated with lack of response to paclitaxel. Potential Outcomes and Benefits. This hypothesis-driven study will uniquely define a mechanism-based endpoint for evaluating the biological responses of BC to paclitaxel. We expect that the M checkpoint will be a biomarker for predicting paclitaxel sensitivity in patients with BC. We expect that accomplishing these aims will provide the necessary foundation for developing a large prospective clinical trial to identify patients who are not likely to respond to paclitaxel so as to spare such patients unnecessary treatment, with its attendant side effects and cost.
Lay Abstract:
Background. Paclitaxel is used to treat early and metastatic breast cancer, but it is not effective in all cases, and it is difficult to identify in advance who will respond to it. Paclitaxel acts by disrupting the cell-division process in a way that eventually leads to cell death. The cell-division process is regulated at several checkpoints; one such checkpoint (the mitotic [M] checkpoint) is controlled by the coordinated action of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and molecules that regulate CDK1 (MAD2, BubR1). Objective/Hypothesis. We hypothesize that being able to identify breast cancer cells that have nonfunctional M checkpoints will allow us to identify which tumors will not respond to paclitaxel. Specific Aims Aim 1. Confirm that breast cancer cells with a nonfunctional M checkpoint are resistant to paclitaxel. Aim 2. Test if a nonfunctional M checkpoint can be used as a marker of paclitaxel resistance in mouse and human tumors . Study Design. Aim 1 comprises statistical analyses of CDK1 activity and MAD2/BubR1 expression to define cutpoints for M checkpoint status and tests of those cutpoints with cultured breast cancer cells known to be sensitive or resistant to paclitaxel. We will also use a novel cell-cycle profiling device to measure M checkpoint status in those cells. We expect that cells with low MAD2 or BubR1 will be resistant to paclitaxel via inactivation of CDK1 . For aim 2, we will inject mice with human breast cancer cells and test whether M checkpoint status predicts the response of the resulting tumors to paclitaxel (assessed by tumor shrinkage and extended survival). Finally, we will test samples of breast cancer tissue from patients treated with paclitaxel to confirm that a nonfunctional M checkpoint is associated with lack of response to paclitaxel. Potential Outcomes and Benefits. Our long-term goal is to find a way of identifying patients who will not respond to paclitaxel before treatment is begun, so that patients with tumors that do not respond can be spared an ineffective and perhaps toxic treatment. We believe that M checkpoint abnormalities in tumor cells are one way of seeing whether those tumors will respond or will not respond to the drug—that the M checkpoint is a biomarker for predicting paclitaxel sensitivity in breast cancer. Accomplishing our aims will provide the foundation for a large prospective clinical trial to identify which patients will benefit from paclitaxel treatment.

There aren't many hard facts so far on how state prison realignment has affected local jurisdictions, Riverside police Chief Sergio Diaz told a City Council subcommittee Wednesday, but what information he has doesn't look good.
Realignment sends some offenders to county jails instead of prison and gives counties new responsibility to supervise others on release. To illustrate the results of the law, Diaz described the case of Paul Fischang, who was released in late 2011 in San Bernardino County on "post-release community supervision," which means he was under supervision of county law enforcement instead of state parole officials.
He had prior convictions for drug, weapons and auto theft charges. By June 2012, Fischang — registered at an address in Big Bear but was actually living in his parents' Riverside garage — was suspected of new charges including forgery and possession of narcotics and a firearm, Diaz said.
When Riverside police searched the garage, they found weapons including an assault rifle with a high-capacity magazine and a shotgun, more than a pound and a half of methamphetamine, counterfeit money and stolen property, Diaz said.
Fischang was arrested, but despite authorities requesting he be held till federal charges could be filed, he was released from the county jail after two days. He was on the run until September, when he was arrested on an unrelated charge.
With the federal charges Fischang faces, Diaz said, "He's probably going to die in prison, but locally we couldn't hold him more than a couple days."
The problem in Riverside County jails is that there's no room, and on top of that the county got 22 percent more state inmates than projected in realignment's first year, Diaz said. For some crimes, people arrested locally are released with a citation, or a prisoner in the jail is released early to make space for someone suspected of a more violent or serious crime.
After 10 years of crime rates falling, they're starting to creep upward since last year, Diaz said, though he acknowledged it's unclear how much of that is due to realignment.
To help address the problem, Diaz reconstituted his department's police and corrections team, which includes city, county and state law enforcement and corrections officials. From January 2012 through February 2013, the team conducted 921 searches of people on parole, probation or community supervision.
Of those searched, 207 were found in violation of the terms of their release; 48 of the 207 were under community supervision due to realignment, Diaz said.
During that 14-month period, Diaz said, the team made 402 arrests, of which more than three-fourths were on suspicion of felonies.
"Elected officials ask us, 'Well, what's the scope of the problem and what can we do?' The short answer is the scope is pretty darn big and I don't know what you can do," Diaz said.
He urged them to support a bill that would make fixes to the law, but added that the long-term solution no one seems to be talking about is to build more jail space.
"We've got a lot of people who have no incentive to leave a life of crime. They're fine with living on the street and ripping the rest of us off," he said. "We need to have a place to put those people."
Councilman Chris Mac Arthur agreed. "Really the only thing proactively we can do … is to encourage the county to build more jail space," he said.

(AP) - Legislation to prevent North Carolina from accepting federal dollars to
expand Medicaid and run an online marketplace for private health insurance policies
could soon be ready for Gov. Pat McCrory's signature.
The House gave final approval Thursday to legislation that declines
participation in portions of the federal Affordable Care Act by a largely
party-line vote of 75-42. The chamber gave initial approval Wednesday. The
measure now returns to the Senate, which approved a slightly different version
last week.
McCrory and other Republicans argue the state Medicaid agency isn't
prepared to cover an additional 500,000 people starting next year and that
operating costs for the expansion aren't settled.
Democrats call the holdback a political move that denies care to the
uninsured, even though it would cost the state nothing through 2016.
Medicaid would have helped working families who are still struggling in this
economy," Rep. Susi Hamilton of New Hanover County said in a statement. "I voted
against blocking expansion because we
shouldn't let politics stand in the way of expanding health care coverage to
500,000 people, creating 23,000 jobs and preventing the cost of treating the
uninsured from being passed on to hard working taxpayers. This short-sighted
decision to reject Medicaid expansion will hurt our economy and the quality of
life for many citizens."
Hamilton and fellow Democrats William Brisson of Bladen County and Ken
Waddell of Columbus County voted against the bill. Republicans Rick Catlin and
Ted Davis of New Hanover County, along with Frank Iler of Brunswick County and
Chris Millis of Pender County voted for the bill.

I love Win8, but it should've been Win7-and-a-half
I've seen some vids about touchscreen win8 ultrabooks, and I'm impressed. Holding your thums on the bezel of the screen, with your forearms resting beside the trackpad seems like a really nice way to operate win8 and it's slide-in-from-the-side gestures. However, I feel Microsoft has took a leap into the post-pc era, when the hardware just isn't there yet, and win7 could use a bit more fine tuning.
The touchscreen ultrabooks or covertibles in the style of Asus' Transformer(which in my eyes is the best no-compromise windows 8 experience) now available all lack in one area or another. I(and I think all of us) just want a zenbook-like(just stating a zenbook because I love the design) ultrabook, with an amazing screen, blazing, desktop-replacing preformance, solid build quality, beefy battery life and a great backlit keyboard, with a screen I can snap off and use as a(n) (RT) tablet. This without compromising on design and such.
The hardware isn't yet there to have this, so I'll stick to my roaring beast of a win7 gaming laptop until I really can't wait any longer.
What I would have loved to see from Microsoft in this non-existent Windows "7-and-a-half":
- Improved Aero snap. I'd like the option to drag a window to any corner, and have it snap into that corner, while automatically omitting any option borders, displaying only your content(this description is a bit vague, for clarification, see this mock-up). It'd be more useful on a screen bigger than my 15,6 inch laptop, though. Also, I'd like to be able to snap to the edge of a monitor, not just the edge of your desktop. This would improve functionality massively when using multiple monitors.
- Improved support of third-party default programs. I've managed to make sure EVERY media file I open, even if it is a folder or multiple files, opens in a playlist in VLC, but boy oh boy was that a hassle. Had to dive into dll files and all that. Mr Gates, this shouldn't have to be this hard.
- The win8 boot time. If win8 can do it, why can't win7?
- No more rounded corners. I've yet to find a win7 theme which gives me sharp windows and button corners without being buggy as hell.(anyone found a good one?)
If win8 would have an option to only use metro with a touch screen, I'd upgrade and buy a win8-supported touch monitor for my laptop in the blink of an eye, I just don't want to fiddle with metro on a non-touch screen laptop. Then I'd also be able to do photoshopping and video editing with a touch screen, which I imagine would be epic.

|Managing storm water on the farm
Lindie Huffman, Agriculture and Natural Resources
We often hear a lot about managing storm water in urban settings, but we may not think about how it impacts farms. During a rain event, clean rainwater can mix with mud, manure and other contaminants and become wastewater.
To manage storm water on your farm you have to divert rainwater from production areas to keep it clean and to reduce the volume of wastewater. To stay in compliance with the Clean Water Act, agricultural operations must manage wastewater in a way that creates no discharge to surface water resources.

If you're new to running, you may be wondering, "What should I wear when running?" One of the things I love about running is that you don't need any fancy equipment or expensive running clothing. All you really need to get started with running is a good pair of running shoes. It's not a good idea to dig out those old tennis shoes from the back of your closet and assume you can run in them. You need fresh, well-cushioned shoes that are designed for running, fit well and match your foot type and running style.
Women also need to make sure that they wear a good, supportive sports bra. The sports bra should fit you properly and not be too stretched out.
Whether you're running in cold or warm weather, you need to make sure you're wearing the proper clothing for comfort and safety. Get tips on how to dress for any climate:

Former Anaheim defenceman Joe DiPenta is one Ducks fan hoping the NHL team survives to the next round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Cole Harbour native, who won a Stanley Cup with the Ducks in 2007, will be in Southern California at the end of this month to run in the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll half marathon with a team from the Atlantic Canadian chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada. DiPenta is executive director of the chapter.
Following the June 1 race, DiPenta will make the trek north to Anaheim to see former teammates Teemu Selanne, Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, among others. He'll get some jerseys signed which he'll auction off for the LLSC and maybe catch a playoff game.
That's if the Ducks bounce back from a 2-0 deficit to the Los Angeles Kings in their second-round playoff series. (Game 3 was later Thursday in L.A.)
"Hopefully they'll still be playing," the 35-year-old said in an interview on Wednesday. "It'll be nice to see a game but it's not looking too good right now. I'm not sure if they'll make it out of this round."
DiPenta joined LLSC's Team In Training program in preparation for the San Diego event. Over 50 runners from Atlantic Canada joined the program with a common goal of eradicating blood cancers.
Not a long distance runner by any stretch, DiPenta has been training with a Team In Training coach for the past three months. He has raised $3,000 for LLSC with a goal of $4,200 by the time he leaves for California.
"San Diego is a bit of a homecoming for me, so I chose that event because the daughter of a former hockey teammate is in treatment for leukemia," DiPenta said.
"I'm using her as an inspiration to go out and raise some money and train for this event. I basically get up at 6 a.m. three days a week and do my runs and train before work. It's been a good experience, getting in shape and fundraising. The two of them combined makes for a rewarding experience.
"I'm not a runner," he added. "I've done training for hockey that involved running but I couldn't stand it. It wasn't very fun. When you're competitive and you're not good at something, you always have a harder time with it. That was me with running. I don't have a runner's body; I'm not tall and skinny. Now I'm just running for the enjoyment of it."
A physical, stay-at-home blue-liner when he played for Boston University and in 1999-2000 with the Halifax Mooseheads, DiPenta covered a pretty good chunk of the continent before hitching on with Anaheim.
Originally drafted by the Florida Panthers in 1998, DiPenta spent most of five seasons in the American Hockey League with Philadelphia, Chicago and Manitoba before winding up with the Ducks. It was with the Philadelphia Phantoms where DiPenta met his wife Jessica in 2001.
DiPenta appeared in 206 regular-season and playoff games in the NHL, all but three with Anaheim. (He played three games with the Atlanta Thrashers in 2002-03). It was in his second season with the Ducks that DiPenta won the Stanley Cup with the likes of Selanne, Getzlaf and Perry.
His final pro season was 2010-11 with the AHL's Syracuse Crunch. Following his playing career, DiPenta moved back to Southern California and attended California State University, Long Beach. After graduating a year ago, he was approached by LLSC in September about launching a new chapter in Halifax.
"I have a connection and I thought it would be a fun opportunity and a worthy cause," recalled DiPenta.
He added that his grandmother has leukemia and his wife's stepfather is a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma survivor.
"We can make an impact in Atlantic Canada, grow the chapter and help lots of people. So I decided to move home and take on the challenge.
"We have seen quite a bit of growth. Our Light The Night cancer walk for instance is projected to be in the top four or five in Canada, up from No. 7 last year. We have seen growth and we're on track to move into other Atlantic Canadian cities. That's our goal."
And he remains a hockey fan, although he's not optimistic about the Ducks' chances against the rival Kings.
"I watch their (Anaheim) games every night whenever I can," DiPenta said. "I'll stay up till midnight and then watch the SportsCentre highlights in the morning.
"When you come back from 0-3 (series) deficit like the Kings did against San Jose, you carry some swagger that no one can beat you. They probably feel invincible. I see (the Kings) getting out of the Western Conference."

Manning, Wake and Janikowski selected for AFC monthly honors
New York, NY (Sports Network) - Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake and Oakland Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski have been named the AFC's top players for the month of October.
Manning, in his first year under center in Denver, earned offensive recognition by completing 77-of-104 passes for 951 yards and nine touchdowns while only being intercepted once in three games. The Tennessee product recorded at least 300 passing yards in each of the Broncos' October contests, finishing first in the AFC in completion percentage (74 percent) and passer rating (126.7).
The 36-year-old signal caller posted his fifth career monthly honor, on the heels of being voted the AFC's top offensive player for Week 6.
Wake picked up monthly defensive honors for the first time in his career. The fourth-year pro out of Penn State amassed nine tackles and tied for the conference lead with three sacks as Miami went perfect in its three games during the season's second month. He is the first Dolphins defensive end to take home a monthly award since Jason Taylor in November of 2006.
Janikowski was recognized for his superb special teams play, having booted 10 of his 11 field-goal attempts en route to 36 total points -- half of Oakland's October total in a 2-1 month. The Florida State product, who accumulated his fourth career monthly honor, connected on a 40-yard attempt in overtime to best the Jaguars on Oct. 21.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
About 1:30 Tuesday morning, a masked man used a large rock to smash the front glass door of the Save A Lot food store in the 300 block of South Slappey, just blocks from Alligood's Meats.
Police say surveillance video showed a man, wearing a shirt over his face, smash cash registers and ransack the office looking for money, but he did not steal anything.
Managers say all money is removed from the store at night.
Police describe the burglar as 5-foot-8 inches tall, weighing about 180 pounds, wearing a long sleeve red shirt and black shorts.
Albany Police are also investigating a break-in at a dance studio.
About 3:30 AM, the burglar alarm sounded at Murphy's Dance Studio in the 1200 block of West Second Avenue.
Police found the rear door pried open.
Officers searched the building, but the burglar was already gone.
Owner Carol Mathis said nothing was taken today, but their shed behind the studio has been broken into recently, and some costumes taken.
Mathis said they are going to increase security around the building to better protect it.

Some District 150 Board members are getting their first look inside the new Glen Oak School.
The new school replaces the old Glen Oak School on Wisconsin Avenue.
Designed by the Farnsworth Architectural firm, the school uses green technology and materials, and features natural light in bigger classrooms.
Officials say the new school was designed to promote learning and achievement for students.
"It is absolutely amazing," said Debbie Wolfmeyer, District 150 School Board President. "You walk through the front doors, there is light everywhere. The rooms are big. The rooms are light. There are so many opportunities for the kids, the gymnasium. It is almost too impossible to describe how beautiful the building inside. I would like to be here on the first day of school when the kids walk through the door and see what their reaction is. It's gorgeous."
The new Glen Oak School is slated to open at the end of August.
