Apple 'Genius': iPhone 6? We've had NO COMPLAINTS about our BENDY iThing
Re: So what's the actual problem?
I do hope no uncharitable type will suggest that 'apple user' and 'dickhead' go hand in hand.
I certainly wouldn't try and draw any inference like that.
Apple iPhone 6: Looking good, slim. AW... your battery died
ah, but this is special Apple flash. worth every penny.
well, it must be, surely, otherwise wouldn't that mean they were just ripping everyone off?
Apple takes blade to 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display
ah, but this is a special Apple ssd that's been sprinkled with magic pixie dust. worth every penny and definitely not a ripoff.
Rockall pod-dweller braces for stormy weather
is anyone else thinking a week or two there would be a lovely opportunity to get away from it all?? I'm quite jealous.
LOHAN spaceplane's budget minicam punches well above its weight
re 'Heater?' - what about a couple of those disposable handwarmer pads next to the cameras? iirc they're only a couple of quid from outdoors shops and weigh next to nothing.
IBM was wrong to force UK workers off final salary pensions – judge
treating employees like s**t
seems to be an IBM trademark - I spent 18 months working for them between 2004-2006 and I can honestly say never again. productive, committed members of staff harried and hounded to the point where the majority of them would go and get better jobs somewhere else...leaving the managers that did the harrying sitting there, scratching their arses and wondering why they can't hang on to any decent staff. cretins all.
US-Russia Soyuz 'nauts STUCK IN SPACE after ISS dock fail
I wonder if the russian contingent are regretting their traditional 'no space nappies' approach to launches?
Ancient telly, check. Sonos sound system, check. OMG WOAH
er...where are the audio L&R inputs??
Frenchman eyes ocean domination with floating, mobile Bond villain lair
as noted above, Submariner in most of the early bond films, and an Oyster Perpetual in almost all the books iirc. this is an example of the same marketing that would have us believe he drank Gordon's a few years back.
iOS 7: Even if you don't jailbreak your iPhone, bugs STILL CREEP IN
'but have kept the threat to themselves since the beginning of the year.'
continuing to place a premium on treating their customers with respect, and not just on their pricing...
...and yet the user base will continue to drink the kool-aid...
Apple Mac Pro: It's a death star, not a nappy bin, OK?
£1040 for an extra 52gb of ram???
is it magic ram?? will it give my pc special powers??
or is it just ordinary 3rd party ram, and apple are having the kecks off people (again)????
Ghosts of Christmas Past: Ten tech treats from yesteryear
Re: Apple QuickTake 150
that was the Sony one wasnt it?? took one picture per disk iirc. I saw one in a s/hand camera shop in Jersey a few years ago - was tempted, but the bloke wanted (imho) silly money for it and it would have been another piece of kit to hoard.

1,000 O2 staff chose redundancy over Capita
Re: 1,000 O2 staff chose redundancy ?
if NTL, IBM and Manpower (among others) are anything to go by, they'll be using it as an excuse to get rid of the intelligent staff who see all the middle manager bulls**t for what it is - but who also actually are the ones best capable at the job.
leaving the dregs there who don't have the temeritry to question management edicts, but who are also quite incapable of tying there own shoelaces without help. the same managers will then be, as has been said, lamenting the fact they have no decent staff.
a plague upon all their houses.

Bond's Walther PPK goes digital: A civilized gun updated
John Gardner
had some interesting choices for Bond's sidearms - the HK VP-70 and the ASP 9mm among others - the latter specifically made with the idea of being a concealable, but uncompromised performance handgun.

@ dr strangelug
an equally big question is 'how could six space launches all go off within minutes of each other and no-one whatsoever on the ground notice?'
Craig, Connery or ... Dalton? Vote now for the ultimate James Bond
pffft - Moore carried off the
'perfect english gent' type cool as shown by John Steed and Captan Picard (technically a frenchman, but he's played as English as they come by patrick stewart) - never blows his cool, always perfectly mannered - even when someone's trying to kill him (seen in The Spy Who Loved Me, when Caroline Munro's helicopter pilot is doing her best to machine gun him.) plus he could show a hard edge when he needed to (such as when he gave Locque's car a helping hand - or foot - off the cliff in For Your Eyes Only.)
Dalton second as he really did play the part as it was written - I read a good piece (I forget where unfortunately) on a 007 website a while ago where the case was made for his performance in Licence To Kill being the template for Craig's portrayal.
Brosnan a very close third - although his last outing broke any last bounds of believability.

the PPK was given to him by Q to replace his previous weapon of choice, a .25 Beretta automatic, which he dismissed as a 'lady's gun'.

Aliens Blu-ray disc set
@ mike
you know the guardian offshore all of their financial affairs they can to minimise their tax hit?
not like a bunch of left wingers to be a load of 'do as I say, not as I do' hypocrites now is it?
@ shelluser - this is the best you've ever seen them. I've had at least 2 copies on both vhs and dvd of the first two films, and with both of them I was notincing colours and textures I'd never seen previously. for the prices you can pick up the 'full' box set with all the extras it's worth every penny IMHO if you're at all a fan.
@ c hill
Alien, grainy how? the BR release is crystal clear. Aliens yes, but I was under the impression that Cameron had to go with a grainy stock because the vast majority of the film is very dimly lit. and yes to everyone else, when the full BR set of all 4 is less than twenty quid, why bother getting this? I bought it for my brother for his birthday the other month and got it for £12 posted new, still shrinkwrapped.

Discovery glides into history
@AC - as for the 'health and safety nuts'
if they really had hogtied it, then perhaps the Challenger and Columbia would still be flying now, without any loss of crews. I recall a commentator some time ago remarking that the three X-15's made almost two hundred flights between them, but were never regarded as more than experimental and quite dangerous aerospacecraft to operate - however with the Shuttle, a far more complicated and higher-performing piece of equipment, they made four test flights and declared it fully operational.
That;'s even before you get to the design compromises forced upon NASA in the 70s when they were having the thing approved by the US administration, making it the 'DC-1 1/2' of space rather than the DC-3 it was meant to be. And what are NASA replacing it with? essentially, the same concept as Apollo - disposable one-shot craft.

Ten Essential... Budget Compact Cameras
@ lou
completely agree, and you can see how Canon (off the top of my head) have responded to this with the G11 - however, would you not think at this level though, the kind of customer these will be aimed at is just going to think 'more MP = better pictures'?
and Pat 3 - let's face it, anyone who wants really good results from a compact is going to do a bit more research than just striding into the high street Currys and asking the spotty herbert behind the counter for his recommendation. the fact that Curry's are still in business show that there will always be a sector of the market for that type of buyer, imo.
Rom-coms, period dramas are rubbish: Mathematical proof
that doesnt explain
why most modern films suck.
what would you rather watch? the first two Alien films or the waste of celluloid that were the AVP films?
the first three Star Wars films or the most recent three?
the original Rollerball or the remake?
and as for these endless 'reboots'... get some original ideas you hollywood c**ts, and stop just looking at how much money you can make. if you make good films, people will want to watch them. it should be very simple.

in a lot of respects, the best phone I've had up to now was my Motorola Graphite from 1997 - built like a tank, made calls when I wanted to, and had a ringer that sounded like a phone and not some silly bloody tune or something (are you listening Nokia??) and the menu's and choices made absolute sense.
I'[d definitely have one of these as a spare if they flogged them in the UK.

'F-22 Raptor stealth coatings are crap' case goes to court
@ AC re the M16
Slipping a rubber johnnie over the rifle muzzle is a common enough practice with any weapon to keep dirt and water out of the mechanism.
the *real* problems with the M16 were due to the fact that it was issued with no cleaning kit and an unannounced change in the type of gunpowder used in the ammunition caused excessive fouling - exacerbated by the direct - impingement gas system's sensitivity to dirt.
Morrissey tells netdepressives to boycott his re-releases
@ kaiser b
I dont think he does - he was moaning a while back about Joycey getting them all after losing his court case against him and andy rourke a while back ( I believe he went into some depth about it on the True To You website then).
however, I cant help but think if him and johnny marr have just played it straight with them in the first place, and then in the subsequent court case (where if memory serves, the judge described him as a 'deeply unreliable witness' or some such) he wouldnt be in this position now.
paris, 'cause I bet she knows a thing or two about uncomfortable positions...
Metallica sticksman gloats over Napster downfall
what about the study I recall some time ago
by MIT (or some such body ) that proved a satistical correlation in the amount of mp3's of your band being downloaded to your record sales - ie, the more popular you were in terms of downloads, the more records you sold as more people became fans, and fans tend to prefer to own original copies of the music in question.
lars (and the rest of the band, and not just for the napster thing either) are indeed complete cocks.

Toshiba to back Blu-ray Disc with player launch?
@ tony smith
'It's getting to the point where, for some people, the *way* something is presented is more important than *what* is presented. That's the wrong way to view, IHMO.'
absolutely - it's like the records What Hi Fi use for reviewing stereo gear - almost always turgid bollox that no bugger in their right mind would actually *want* to listen to.
however, for the films I like, a good BR presentation is well worth the money IMO - 2001 for example, is simply jaw-dropping in terms of the way it looks - I noticed colours and details and even sounds I never had before, between vhs and dvd copies of it. also John Carpenter's The Thing is a stunning example of what BR can be like.
what I do object to, though, as people have said, are the high street prices of the discs and that on a lot of occasions, the transfer is taken from a crappy source that doesnt really improve any on the dvd presentation - thus negating the point of it being a BR disc in the first place. and when will the studios pull their collective fingers out and release the genuine classics held in their archives on dvd rather than the rehashed remade crap that passes for 'new' releases these days?
Nikon D5000 digital SLR
every time I see this camera
it's price is quoted as the same as the D90 - so I cant really see why it's being described as an 'entry level' model. the only thing you get over the D90 is the tilting screen, and you lose the higher resolution LCD screen and the AF motor. so whats the point?
Paris, because I cant see the point of her either.

It's Back! Ladies and Gentlemen, the WildHelp App is back and ready for another round so let's get this thing going!
"The WildHelp mobile application will streamline the reporting process, expediting aid to wild animals in need and the people who find them, helping save thousands of lives every year!
The finder will also have the option of adding a photograph and detailed notes. Then, based on the user's answers and their GPS coordinates, the app will display a list of the closest and most appropriate resources - the nearest wildlife hospitals or first responders.
With a click of a button, all the information collected - the type of animal, its approximate age, its condition - if it's entrapped, injured, possibly orphaned - is sent via email and text to the selected resource, alerting them of the emergency.
Once the data has been sent, the user can place a call to make direct contact with the selected entity. They will also have the option to receive helpful safety tips and emergency information, like basic instruction on first aid that could help save the animal's life."
We have taken the WildHelp concept through the initial phase - we have drawn up the basic paths for the system, but need your help to make the WildHelp mobile application a reality.
Hey guys, as you may or may not know, I've been volunteering with Wildlife Emergency Services. Recently, the founder and backbone of the organization, Rebecca, thought up a genius idea: A way to connect the finder of an injured animal with the people and organizations who can help directly.
Often, people who find an injured animal aren't quite sure who to contact for help. Is this a matter for the Department of Fish and Game? Do you contact the animal shelter? Are they even open at this hour? What can I do to help until then? The time spent trying to find this information and looking up numbers is precious and can cost the animal its life.
The app would be for both iOS and Android operating systems, and include an extensive database of emergency response organizations and wildlife resources throughout the United States, sorted by geographic location and area of expertise. What I'm asking is that you guys spread the word about this awesome app that can really make a difference, and take pledges if possible.
We have one month to raise the money that would turn this idea into a reality. Plus, if you support the project with $25 or more, you can get some of the awesome swag above.
I saw the amazing support you guys were willing to give and I thank my followers for putting up with my constant reblogging of this, but the goal is now much more modest and we can certainly make this happen. Now let's do this!

An excellent international resource for the laboratory equipment industry.
Bacteria Excrete Nanoscale Gold NuggetsCould scientists one day be panning for gold in a Petri dish? McMaster Univ. researchers have discovered that a gold-dwelling bacterium excretes a small molecule capable of forming solid gold.Nathan Magarvey and his team have found the bacterium Delftia acidovorans can turn toxic, water-soluble gold – ions of the metal that are dissolved in water – into gold aggregates. "It has long been known that Delftia acidovorans live on gold nuggets in biofilms, though how such bacteria avoid gold-mediated toxicity has been a mystery," Magarvey says.Read more: http://www.laboratoryequipment.com/news/2013/02/bacteria-excrete-nanoscale-gold-nuggets

I just recently realized that I've been reading a ton of LA-based fiction lately (The Big Sleep and now Less Than Zero), so I thought I should briefly revisit one of my all-time favorites. Los Angeles fiction is so rich and underrated.
The Oatmeal wrote this thing about why working from home is awesome. And also horrible. I worked from home today because I am sick and have been for-like-ever. And then I realized that I should stop being sick for the following reasons.
I walked to work this morning.
On the way, I crossed Second Avenue behind a young black man who was carrying a child. He looked like he was a teenager, probably not older than 15 or 16. A Latino kid on a bike heading north rode by, almost hitting the two of them. "Estupido!" he hissed as he passed. The black kid seemed stunned. He looked at the child he was holding, a two-year-old whose face was permanently affixed in that scowl that can only be endearing when used by the very young or the very old. "I ain't even gonna say nothing!" said the kid to the toddler. "I ain't even gonna say nothin'. Can you believe that? Not gonna say anything." I wanted to reach out to him and tell him that no, I couldn't believe it, that we both had the right of way, that the biker was the rude one and should have waited. But I said nothing and eventually passed him with my signature I'm-going-to-work-and-am-thus-walking-briskly gait.
I stopped at the coffee store I go to when I walk to work, Mudd. It's on 9th Street between Second and Third Avenues. The woman behind the counter took my order. Iced coffee with skim milk, please. She returned and I picked out a blueberry muffin from their day-old pastries basket, half-priced. "You can have it," she mumbled. "No charge." I pocketed the muffin and gave her my change as a tip.
As I approached Union Square, I passed an old man who was smiling as he observed a group of teenagers across the street. I wanted to cry. He made me so happy. I want to be that lovely and admiring towards young people when I am old. He was beautiful.
I arrived at work and got in the elevator with a smirking man. He smirked all the way up to the fifth floor. He smirked as he adjusted the paper bag in his hand. I wondered if he always smirked that much or if I had done something that had merited a smirk. Maybe it wasn't a smirk. Maybe it was a grin. Maybe he was being friendly. Maybe.
This afternoon, I went to get coffee with my coworker. We went to the Starbucks at Union Square. This Starbucks is more like a bus station than a coffee shop. There are always so many people there. Outside they were giving away free Stonyfield yogurt, two samples per person. They said something to every person they gave yogurt to, but I don't remember what they said.
On the way back, we were crossing Fifth Avenue. A man with a walkie talkie stood there with his hands on his hips. "Please, ladies," he said. "Please wait. We're filming a stunt. Hold on. Hold on." We waited. A crane with a camera passed, locked on a bicyclist riding down the street at a racing clip. The two girls in front of me squealed. "What movie is this for?" they asked. "So exciting!" The walkie talkie man shrugged. "It's called [mumble] and it stars Joseph Gordon Levitt." The girls squealed again. Velocity? I don't know. I couldn't understand him.
I usually listen to music on my way to work, but my headphones are broken. I am listening to New York more than ever now. I feel like I've missed out on so much.
by Anne Sexton
Be careful of words,
even the miraculous ones.
For the miraculous we do our best,
sometimes they swarm like insects
and leave not a sting but a kiss.
They can be as good as fingers.
They can be as trusty as the rock
you stick your bottom on.
But they can be both daisies and bruises.
Yet I am in love with words.
They are doves falling out of the ceiling.
They are six holy oranges sitting in my lap.
They are the trees, the legs of summer,
and the sun, its passionate face.
Yet often they fail me.
I have so much I want to say,
so many stories, images, proverbs, etc.
But the words aren't good enough,
the wrong ones kiss me.
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
but with the wings of a wren.
But I try to take care
and be gentle to them.
Words and eggs must be handled with care.
Once broken they are impossible
things to repair.
(via stephanie-leann)
Here it is: I am a year older.
That's the truth of it all. I am a year older and this is your life, Michelle Said! This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time. Fight Club meets game shows. I am Michelle's boundless enthusiasm for all things chocolate.
You wake up, you go to work, you come home. You meet up with friends and have dinner. You laugh, you drink, you eat. In that order. Rinse, repeat. And it feels good, it feels nice. These are your people. The restaurant's music is too loud and the plates are too expensive.
But…Still, I just feel grateful that I am here and we are here and these people, these funny, clever, intelligent people are my friends. And these funny, clever, intelligent people are here for me! It kind of makes me want to cry, be maudlin, just shout and say, "I don't deserve this!"
But New York, man. New York, you know? New York.
Somehow, I just feel so lucky. Maybe it's the birthday in me. It allows me to reflect and think upon all of these people I know and appreciate each one, each person. It's stupid, it's silly. Everybody has it. Everybody has a birthday. And yet the feeling of love makes me feel so, well, loved.
And, then: New York.
What was I doing before New York?
April plucked a bottle of Australian Shiraz off of the shelf. The smoothness and weight of the bottle felt good in her hands. Liquid contained, curved like a spine. A fine present, a solid present. She walked to the front of the store and approached Cormac.
"Shiraz?" She presented the bottle to him, label forward, like a waitress.
"Red? Yes. Good."
"You don't know anything about wine, do you?"
"Nothing at all. Too uppity. I don't understand the obsession."
"Ah." April dropped the wine to the side of her body and felt it thunk against her thigh, heavy and leaden. "Well, I don't want to come empty-handed."
"No, we should get the wine."
We, she thought. Yes, we should.
April paid. She shuffled nervously through the rainbow of bills in her hand — the largeness and pristineness of the orange 50 contrasted sharply with the worn and weathered smallness of the blue fives — and parsed through the golden coins in her wallet before handing them to the cashier.
"Cheers," she said, and winced. The word came out strange, foreign, clunky on her tongue. The "r" was so sharp and abrasive. She sounded like a Valley Girl, like someone from MTV, like someone who was paid to sound like an annoying American.

It's just me throwing myself at you,
romance as usual, us times us,
not lust but moxibustion,
a substance burning close
to the body as possible
without risk of immolation.
Nearness without contact
causes numbness. Analgesia.
Pins and needles. As the snugness
of the surgeon's glove causes hand fatigue.
At least this procedure
requires no swag or goody bags,
stuff bestowed upon the stars
at their luxe functions.
There's no dress code,
though leg irons
are always appropriate.
And if anyone says what the hell
are you wearing in Esperanto—
Kion diable vi portas?—
tell them anguish
is the universal language.
Stars turn to train wrecks
and my heart goes out,
admirers gush. Ground to a velvet!
But never mind the downside,
mon semblable, mon crush.
Love is just the retaliation of light.
It is so profligate, you know,
so rich with rush.
My friends on Facebook are growing large.
Their bellies protrude outward in an intimidating fashion. Updates are daily. Where there is one there will soon be two. These are women I've known since we were girls.
One is Indian. She used to listen to R&B and wear glasses that covered half of her face. I was on a soccer team with her once. We used to carpool to school together, but we were never particularly close. She friended me on Facebook a few years ago and I noted that it said she was engaged. Then they were married. Now she looks like a creature aside from herself, with straight hair and colored contact lenses and pants to contain her skinny legs. Her stomach grows aggressively. I do not know that life.
The other has seen so much tragedy in her life. I have known her since we were freshmen in high school. She lost her sister and then her mother in the span of two years. She married a man she met while studying abroad in Chile. When we met she was into Wicca and witchcraft and we bonded over astrology and Tarot. Then she found God and we lost touch. She once told me that I should be more self-confident. She was always so optimistic. Now she is pregnant, swollen, posting updates about water retention and burger cravings, sometimes written in Spanish for her husband's family. Her default picture is of her sonogram. I do not know that life.
The others, while not pregnant, are getting married at an alarming rate. They skip and race towards the future while I plod begrudgingly into my next birthday. I do not know those lives.

FRANCE COACH Marc Lièvremont has left out props Sylvain Marconnet and Thomas Domingo from his 30-man Rugby World Cup squad.
However, another prop, Fabien Barcella, has made the cut, despite spending much of the season sidelined with an Achilles injury.
Lièvremont says that it had been a tough choice to leave behind Domingo and 84-test veteran Marconnet, the latter with whom he played in the national side.
"It was a difficult choice," he told L'Equipe.
"I always said the best two props in France were Thomas [Domingo] and Fabian [Barcella] and I said that I hoped to retain one in the squad, and that's the decision I've made. I was also surprised by the progress of Jean-Baptiste Poux and Luke Ducalcon."
The side will be captained by Thierry Dusautoir.
France opens its campaign against Japan in Albany on September 10.
France squad:
Forwards: Fabien Barcella, Jean-Baptiste Poux, Nicolas Mas, Luc Ducalcon, William Servat, Dimitri Szarzewski, Guilhem Guirado, Pascal Papé, Julien Pierre, Romain Millo-Chluski, Lionel Nallet, Julien Bonnaire, Imanol Harinordoquy, Thierry Dusautoir (c), Fulgence Ouedraogo, Raphaël Lakafia, Louis Picamoles (Toulouse)
Backs: Morgan Parra, Dimitri Yachvili, David Skrela, François Trinh-Duc, Fabrice Estebanez, Maxime Mermoz, David Marty, Aurélien Rougerie, Maxime Médard, Alexis Palisson, Vincent Clerc, Cédric Heymans, Damien Traille
All the fixtures you need to plan your viewing pleasure!
Not all our own way for NZ teams
Pressure is on Benji, but shouldn't we remember SBW went to France (Toulon) for 2 years to learn the game.
With all of the news around concussion do you think there should be safety measures in place for players to ensure they don't play on after a head know? How and who should police that?
With the start of club rugby upon us, how can we maintain the value of the clubs in player pathways and community spirit.

A double bill starring Frosty: Frosty the Snowman Jimmy Durante narrates this Christmas story that is based on the song of the same name. To make up for the fact that her students are in school on Christmas Eve, the local schoolteacher hires the magician Professor Hinkle to entertain the kids. Unfortunately, he's not a very good magician. Frustrated in his attempt to pull a rabbit out of his hat, he throws it away in anger. Outside, the kids build a snowman (what to call it? Harold? Oatmeal? Frosty!), and when the hat blows onto it--Happy Birthday!--it comes to life. Professor Hinkle decides he wants the hat back so he can make money off of its newfound magical properties, but the kids want to save Frosty. When the temperature starts to rise, a new problem threatens Frosty's existence. Karen, the leader of the children, comes up with a plan to save him: take him on a train to the North Pole, where it's always cold. With a cameo by Santa Claus, and the promise of Frosty's return every year, this story of life, death, and holiday cheer is glazed with the sweet frosting of hope and happiness. A true holiday classic. Frosty Returns In the same way that many a Hollywood sequel has little to do with the first film, Frosty Returns has almost nothing in common with the original Frosty the Snowman, aside from a man made of snow. The biggest difference is that this Frosty doesn't need a magic hat to come to life. The story: In the town of Beansboro, old Mr. Twitchell has invented an aerosol spray that can remove snow without the hassle of shoveling or plows. This frightens Frosty, who enlists the help of amateur magician Holly and her friend Charles to stop the old coot. Made in 1992, Frosty Returns has an animation style that looks like a cross between the old Schoolhouse Rock and Peanuts cartoons, with voice talent that includes Jonathan Winters, Andrea Martin, Jan Hooks, Brian Doyle-Murray, and John Goodman as Frosty. The story may be divisive, pitting children against adults and a pro-snow contingent against anti-snow people, but the songs are catchy and the message is one that ultimately empowers kids. Like a hero from an old Western, this Frosty is a wanderer who leaves when his job is done so he can work his magic elsewhere. --Andy Spletzer
Santa Claus:
Don't cry, Karen, Frosty's not gone for good. You see, he was made out of Christmas snow and Christmas snow can never disappear completely. It sometimes goes away for almost a year at a time and takes the form of spring and summer rain. But you can bet your boots that when a good, jolly December wind kisses it, it will turn into Christmas snow all over again.
Yes, but... He was my friend.
Santa Claus:
Just watch.

Scarce pine seeds boost chance of bear encounters
A shortage of whitebark pine seeds could mean more human-bear interactions in western Wyoming this fall.
When whitebark pine seeds are plentiful, Yellowstone bears spend the fall gorging themselves on the fatty, protein-rich morsels, up in the high alpine. But not every year is good.
"It's a boom-bust cycle, and there's not always a high amount of pinecones available, so they just find other foods to eat," says Wyoming Game and Fish Large Carnivore Supervisor Dan Thompson.
This year is a bust. Recent surveys show an average of just five pine cones per tree, compared to last year's average of thirty.
That means the bears will be on the move, looking for food to supplement the pine seeds.
"You know, they might come into your camp. But if you're keeping a clean camp, they're going to keep going," Thompson says.
He adds that hunters are particularly at risk of run-ins. Thompson recommends that all backcountry travelers carry bear spray -- and more importantly, know how to use it.

Jimmy Stewart, August 1938
Audrey Hepburn, Kay Thompson, and Fred Astaire filming "Bonjour, Paris!" atop the Eiffel Tower for the movie musical Funny Face, 1956. Gifs by rareaudreyhepburn.
"There had been romantic couples before, but Loy and Powell were something new and original. They actually made marital comedy palatable. I remember Bill Powell when he started out as a melodramatic actor. Then, by some alchemy, he suddenly became comic. But Myrna gave the wit to the whole thing. They hit that wonderful note because he always did a wee bit too much and she underdid it, creating grace, a charm, a chemistry."

I've used this 2X and have been pretty impressed with the results. I have VERY oily skin and (like other reveiwers) have tried every primer and mattifier on the market. I need to experiment with this but this does seem to work best if you apply if before your makeup as well as after. If you apply if after then either apply mascara as a final step or put on some sunglasses before you spray because this made my mascara smudge.
The bottle isn't the most elegant and the application of the product could be improved by transferring it into a finer misting bottle. I think an airbrush gun would really work great.
Skindinavia has several formulas of this product. One is supposed to seal your makeup for dancing, one is a makeup finishing spray, one is for bridal use, etc. If anyone has compared these products, I would LOVE to know if they are at all different. I am suspicious that marketing is the only thing differentiating them. I'm getting married next month and am toying with gettng the bridal finish, but as I've already spent a small fortune on makeup this month I'm holding out :)

Finally - an oil-control product that delivers on its promises! First, a little background. I have incredibly oily skin in my t-zone. I have tried everything - Shiseido SPF 55 lotion, numerous oil control powders and primers... my skin just mocks them all. It is determined to produce an unattractive oily sheen in my t-zone! I can put makeup on and in 3 or 4 hours, it is shiny and has begun breaking down into unattractive patches. So I can blot the oiliness away, but when my makeup disintegrates on my face, well that requires a more serious touch-up. Something I don't always have time for! It is a frustrating issue for me.
Skindinavia No More Shine Makeup Finish spray has really helped. I have been using this for a week now. At first I was not impressed but I realised where I went wrong. The first problem was that I did not shake the bottle enough! This is very important because the mattifying ingredients separate from the liquid - I did not realise this until I decanted into a smaller, travel-friendly sprayer bottle which is translucent (you can't see inside the original packaging which is white). So shake the bottle vigorously before you use!! Also, be sure to spray generously and evenly. Here's what I have been doing:
1) Apply sunscreen/acne treatments to face and let dry for 15-20 min
2) Spray face with Skindinavia 3-4 times and let dry
3) Apply powder foundation, concealer, blush and pressed powder
4) Spray face with Skindinavia 2-3 times
5) Do eye makeup (I use a separate primer) and lips.
With this routine I am getting many hours of wear from my makeup. I no longer need to blot/repair makeup at lunchtime. By early afternoon I can see the merest hint of shine - it's more like a natural glow and certainly nothing greasy or unattractive. Once I get home from work (a good 12 hours after application), my makeup is still intact - it could use a blot, that's all. I am pretty darn impressed! My one gripe is the spray bottle packaging - I wasn't happy with the way it sprayed, but once I decanted into my own sprayer, I got a more even, finer mist from it. Another thing is the price - this stuff is not cheap... however, it does perform, so as long as they keep making it, I will keep buying it. 5 Lippies. Thank you Skindinavia, you have changed my life!
EDIT 31-Aug-09: I hate to have to do this but I'm taking a lippie off. I have no idea why, but I cannot get consistently good results from this. I can wear it one day and it will be great - I'll be shine-free with perfect, fresh makeup for a whole day... but on other days it just fails me. This seems to happen a lot to me and I guess my best strategy is to have a number of mattifying primers/finishing products on hand and keep them all in high rotation. I still think this is a product to try if you have oily skin though!

Whoa - this is an AMAZING product. Truly, the only oil control product that has ever worked for me. I use this with powder, liquid and cream foundations and it really DOES keep my makeup unshiny and in place all day long.
My skin is super oily - shiny all the time, no blotting powder or mattifier has ever worked well for me at all. I had my doubts about this one, and the first time I tried it, thought "eh." I used it in the afternoon - after my makeup was already shiny. Figured out the next day that was a mistake.
With this product, I get the BEST results using it over sunblock but under foundation. Spritz a few times, let dry a few moments while I lay out my products. Apply my makeup as usual, then mist it again 3-4 times. By sandwiching my makeup, I have a perfect, just-applied finish for at least 8 hours. If I need to refresh, I just blot the surface, spritz, then lightly repowder - set for another marathon!
No clogging, no breakouts, I love that the product is scentless, too. Just all around a winner!

Preview: 'Gran Turismo 6'
Sony Computer Entertainment has made it official: The latest version of PlayStation's best-selling franchise, "Gran Turismo 6," or "GT6," will be released this Christmas. Legendary "Gran Turismo" creator Kazunori Yamauchi made the announcement recently at an event celebrating 15 years of the 70-million-selling series.
"GT6" for PlayStation 3 will bring new levels of authenticity to the Real Driving Simulator, as well as stunning new tracks and cars and a revised user interface. A new compact game engine will improve operation and increase the flexibility to expand it with downloadable content. Meanwhile, the game is also set for expanded connectivity with other devices, such as smartphones and tablets, and increased social and community functions.
All of the cars and tracks from "Gran Turismo 5," which has sold over 10 million copies since launching in 2010, will be retained in "GT6." But notable new additions to the already impressive lineup of historic cars, road cars and race cars bring the total car list to 1,200 at launch, with new cars set to be continually added online. Several thousand aerodynamic parts and custom wheels will be available for almost all cars, and players can personalize custom cars in-game to the greatest levels yet.
The UK's famous Silverstone Circuit will be just one of seven new locations, taking the total to 33, with 71 different layouts available, 19 of them brand new. There will also be regular additions of new tracks online. The improved course maker function will provide gorgeous scenery spanning several tens of square kilometers, including the magnificent backdrop of Andalucia.
The franchise's innovative collaborations with partner companies will increase as well. A number of exciting new projects that blur the line between the virtual and real will be announced in the run up to the game's launch, not the least of which is GT Academy, a collaboration with Nissan to unearth real racing driver talent that first ran in 2008. It was also announced that the competition returns for its biggest year ever, with the entry mechanic set to take place on an exclusive "GT6" demo in July.
"It is amazing to think that it has been 15 years since we first released 'Gran Turismo,'" explained Yamauchi. "Things have changed a lot since then, and now 'Gran Turismo 6' is a further evolution of my dream. We're pleased to deliver 'GT6' ... and have refactored the game to make it very flexible and expandable, with a view to making many future developments. I am very pleased with everything about the new game and the new additions, but the launch will be only the beginning. The game will continue to develop throughout its life. I already have many ideas for things I want to achieve in the next 15 years of 'Gran Turismo'!"
The celebration included a demo that featured Silverstone, and guests were able to play the game in the familiar "Gran Turismo" race pods before having a chance to take to the real track in cars provided by Audi, Ford, Jaguar, KTM, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota.
Further info about "GT6" will be revealed at the forthcoming E3 and Gamescom events and on http://www.gran-turismo.com. #GT6iscoming

Although Glory 13 proved to be a success and brought in many new fans, the event also marked the closing of one of the greatest careers in combat sports.
Peter Aerts, known to fans as "The Dutch Lumberjack" ended his 25-year combat sports career after a split-decision loss to Glory Heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven in the headlining bout.
Although Verhoeven may be known as the "Prince of Kickboxing," Aerts will be revered as one of a deity in the sport.
Throughout his career, the Dutch accumulated a kickboxing record of 105-32-1. His win column features a list of who's who in the sport while his trophy case is filled with several championships, including six K-1 World Grand Prix titles. In addition to his impressive kickboxing career, Aerts went 1-1 in mixed martial arts competition.
It is fitting that Aerts' last fight took place in Japan as many of his triumphs have taken place in front of the Japanese crowds.
We here at Cage Pages would like to wish Aerts the best of luck in his future.
What was your favorite memory of Aerts? Answer with a comment below, send a tweet to @alstover or email [email protected]

Proper Care for Proper Cholesterol Levels
We often equate cholesterol with heart disease and stroke, but little do we know that proper cholesterol care can help prevent these diseases and help achieve a good health.
What is Proper Cholesterol Care?
The term cholesterol must not be automatically equated to diseases. Our body needs a good amount of cholesterol to maintain proper functioning and health. We need cholesterol to absorb fat soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E, and K for without it, our body cannot utilize these essential nutrients. Cholesterol is also an important component of the hormones that regulate bodily functions. Steroid hormones cortisol and aldosterone, as well as sex hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are made up of cholesterol. Without it these hormones cannot work properly and may cause certain disorders among humans. Proper cholesterol care includes ensuring the body has the needed amount of cholesterol to continue normal functioning; this entails a balance between the two types of cholesterol, LDL and HDL.
LDL vs. HDL
Cholesterol in the human body occurs in two forms: LDL or low density lipoprotein and HDL or high density lipoprotein. Among the two, increases in LDLs are attributed to the formation of atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke. This is a result of the imbalance between the two, if HDL levels become low LDL levels become high and vice versa.
How is Cholesterol Care Done?
You can take care of your cholesterol levels by maintaining the balance between your HDL and LDL. You can do this through dietary supplements that keep your HDL levels in check. Plant sterols and plant stanols are highly recommended for this, dietary supplements with these compounds can help maintain the balance between the "bad cholesterol" (LDL) from the good one (HDL). Plant sterols and plant stanols prevent the bad cholesterol from getting absorbed, by decreasing their number in the body, it results to an increase level of the good cholesterol. Cholesterol care doesn't necessarily mean you have to eradicate cholesterol in the diet, the major player here is balance.
Healthy Cholesterol
Cholesterol is waxy substance produced by liver, and it is essential for making vitamin D and other hormones for the building of cell walls and creating bile salts, which help you to digest fat. Though your liver is producing adequate amount of cholesterol every day, you cannot avoid it entirely from your diet because lots of foods contain it. Excess cholesterol in your body leads to some serious health problems, such as heart disease. However, you can control them very effectively.
Lipids are fats, which can be found throughout your body. Cholesterol is also a type of lipid and it is found profusely in animal sources, such as meats, eggs, whole fat dairy products, etc. However, grains, fruits, vegetables, etc contain no cholesterol.
Cholesterol cannot travel through the bloodstream alone. Therefore, it combines with some proteins and they carry cholesterol and transport it to the different parts of your body. When this process happens, protein and cholesterol form together and become lipoprotein. Low density proteins (LDL) and high density proteins (HDL) are the two major types of lipoproteins. LDL cholesterol is known as the bad cholesterol and HDL cholesterol is the good cholesterol. The major part of cholesterol will be LDL and it leads to clog blood vessels and keeping blood from flowing through your body.
HDL cholesterols, on the other hand, remove cholesterol from your blood vessels and they carry it back to the liver. It is then sent out to your body after processing it.
When the level of LDL cholesterol is high, it is deposited in the walls of your arteries and it leads to the formation of a hard substance, called plague. Over the time, plague causes narrowing arteries and reducing blood flow, which is called atherosclerosis or hardening of arteries. When the atherosclerosis affects coronary arteries, it is called coronary artery disease and when it affects blood vessels, which supply blood to the brain, it is called cerebral vascular disease. LDL cholesterol will be very high in people due to overweight, heredity, diet and age.
Benefits of CholestOff
Nature Made manufactured Cholestoff is a dietary supplement, which is beneficial for supporting the cardiovascular health by reducing cholesterol level naturally and safely. It contains Reducol, which is a unique blend of natural plant stanols and sterols. Plant sterols and stanols are naturally found in vegetables, nuts, leaves and other plants. Cholestoff is manufactured after 40 years of rigorous clinical research in plant stanols and sterols. If you consume products containing a minimum 0.4 grams of plant sterols and stanols twice in a day, you can reduce cholesterol and saturated fat in your body considerably.
This is an over the counter supplement and it can be available from CholesterolSupplements.com without a prescription. However, it is better to consult a doctor before you take it.
Can Garlic Help Keep The Heart Healthy?
For middle ages men and women, heart attack is one of the most common conditions that could turn to be fatal for their lives. One of the main reasons for unexpected hear attacks is high cholesterol levels in the body. People often turn towards rigorous exercises, prescription drugs and diet plans in order to bring down the cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the chances for heart attacks. However, most people are unaware of the fact that garlic can be good cholesterol reducing agent.
A recent study conducted by German researchers has proven that garlic, when taken in a specific quantity will bring down the level of cholesterol in the body. This study stands as a testimony that several natural medications for human diseases still remains unknown to humans. Garlic, for example, was found to much more effective than placebo, which is the most often prescribed medicine for cholesterol patients.
Plant medicine is an area where lots of researches have been conducted. However the results of these researches remain unknown to the majority sections of the people. The overwhelming reliance on prescription drugs and other forms of medications has resulted in people remaining to be oblivious to the real uses of this drug. Garlic is one such plant whose medicinal values have not been discovered for a significantly long period of time.
Garlic contains phytochemicals in large quantities. The presence of these chemicals makes it healthy for the heart. A chemical known as allicin reduces the cholesterol level in the human body. This consequently reduces the chances for hypertension. With the increase in the demand for plant medicines, researches are trying out new methods to consume garlic. For persons with slightly high cholesterol levels, garlic supplements might work. They can mix garlic along with food. This will decrease the production of LDL or bad cholesterol and increase the production of HDL (good cholesterol).
Taking garlic on a daily basis will help to thin the blood. This will help platelets to develop resistance to merge with the blood vessels. Like the phytochemicals, this also helps to reduce the risk of hypertension and heart attack. They best way to eat garlic is to eat them raw. If you have a high risk of hypertension, then eat them raw. You can crush them for easier digestion. However, not all of them will be comfortable with taking garlic raw. Some find their odor unacceptable, while others can't digest it properly. Such people can depend on garlic supplements suggested by doctors.
Garlic as a medicinal plant has acquired widespread popularity over the past few years. Since it is a natural product, there is a guarantee that it will not affect their health. It is also free from any side effects. For those people who find it difficult to eat garlic raw, can cook them and eat them along with other foods. However, this way, there will be reduced cholesterol lowering. Nevertheless they will be effective. There are also several additional benefits associated with garlic. For example it helps in the easy digestion of food.
What is Cardiovascular Disease?
Cardiovascular Diseases are one of top leading causes of death in the world today. Cardiovascular Disease is a disease that involves the heart, arteries, veins and blood vessels. Most often it is called heart disease and it affect the cardiovascular system. The term cardiovascular disease covers a wide range of diseases such as coronary artery disease, congenital heart defects, narrowed or blocked blood vessels, heart attacks and arrhythmia. Infections of the heart muscle and other rhythmic problems are also a part of cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular Disease is caused by narrowed or blocked arteries that can affect the different systems of the body such as the heart and brain. Typically, cardiovascular disease refers to damage that has been done to the heart which often causes a build up of plaque in the heart. This can cause a narrowing or hardening of the arteries and they need to be strong and pliable for them to work correctly. Some of the risk factors for Cardiovascular Disease are poor diet, not enough exercise, smoking, heart defects, diabetes, high blood pressure, and drug abuse. Parasites and vir
uses in the heart can also cause cardiovascular disease. Symptoms of Cardiovascular Disease can vary depending on the condition you have, but the most common symptoms are chest pain or fluttering, rapid or slowed heart beat, dizziness, fainting, numbness in the arms or legs, swelling in the legs or around the eyes, fluid in the heart or lungs, fever, dry cough, and skin rashes. If you experience chest pain, a feeling of not being able to catch your breath or fever you should immediately consult a doctor or go to the emergency room. Consult your doctor if you develop any new symptoms you have not yet discussed with him.
Being diagnosed with heart disease does not necessarily mean a death sentence. If your disease is found in the early stages it may still be treatable. When you visit your physician they may order certain tests such as a ECG, chest x-rays, blood tests or holter monitoring to check for cardiovascular disease. Depending on your disease and the stage of the disease there are many treatments for you. Your doctor will be able to discuss your options with you. Treatments can range from lifestyle changes such as to quit smoking, eat a better diet or starting an exercise regimen. You may also have to take certain medications such as aspirin therapies, beta-blockers or blood thinners. Some conditions may require surgery such as an angioplasty or bypass procedure. Implants such as a pacemaker may also be required.
Being diagnosed with cardiovascular disease can be treatable and in some instances it is even preventable. Some conditions may not even require any type of treatment. It is important to have regular check ups so if you do have some type of Cardiovascular Disease, it is caught in the early stages and you are able to be treated correctly. If you are diagnosed, do not fret, as there are many support groups out there to help you or a family member cope with the disease.
Benefits of Exercise in Lowering Cholesterol Levels
Cholesterol is a term that is that most people associate with cardiovascular diseases. This is a misconception. While high levels of cholesterol can cause various diseases, it is required by the body in small quantities. Produced naturally by the liver, cholesterol is required for hormone synthesis and production of Vitamin D.
It is also obtained from various foods. When the level of cholesterol in body is more, the excess gets deposited in blood vessels. This leads to various cardiovascular exercises. Hence on should always strive to keep a low cholesterol level. There are several ways to bring down the level of cholesterol in blood. Exercise, healthy diet, lifestyle changes and certain medications aid in bringing down the cholesterol level. However, the best option is to exercise regularly and eat right.

Swimming is a very effective means to combat high cholesterol. Since it involves the entire body, swimming contributes significantly to the cardiovascular system. It is a safe form of exercise due to the buoyant nature of water. Those who have access to bicycles can ride them and lower the cholesterol level. Biking for 30 minutes a day can hugely reduce the level of LDL in blood. Since there are several Exercises to Lower Cholesterol, selecting one can be a difficult choice.
The individual should feel comfortable performing the exercise. The intensity of exercise should depend on the physical and medical condition of the person. Ideally, one should exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes every day. The level of exercise should not be increased suddenly. This can do more harm than good.
Those with medical conditions should get the opinion of a physician before exercising. Perseverance and consistency are crucial to the success of any exercise. The results of exercising will definitely reflect in the blood cholesterol level over time. In order to maximize the results, one should combine exercise with a healthy diet. Certain foods contain saturated fats and Trans fats which can increase the level of cholesterol. Consumption of such foods should be avoided as much as possible. High cholesterol level in blood is a serious condition that warrants immediate attention. However, with the right combination of exercise and diet, one can overcome this affliction and live longer.

Understanding the link between High Triglycerides and Heart Disease
When your body consumes too many calories, not only will it not be able to burn them off rapidly enough to inhibit fat deposits, it will also produce high levels of triglycerides. When your doctor or medical professional tests your cholesterol levels this will include the level if triglycerides found in your body, and consistently high levels will increase the risk of heart disease. There is a prominent connection between high triglycerides and heart disease, and a level superior to one hundred and fifty is deemed to be dangerous.
When your doctor tests your cholesterol levels, levels between 150 and 199 are considered to be borderline high, those between two hundred and 499 to be high and those that exceed five hundred to be very high. These levels are the standard that will be used by all doctors, and high levels will not only give you a high cholesterol level, they can also be linked to many other medical conditions.
There is an established link present between high triglycerides and heart disease, and asides this link, when an individual consumes too much fat and lets high triglycerides build up they may also experience problems with the cardiovascular system as well as diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
It is therefore important to understand why high triglyceride levels are so detrimental to your health and what can be done to prevent the risk of associated health problems. High triglyceride levels are common these days as levels of exercise are lower than in past times and food is more plentiful. Build up of fat tissue is a direct result of overeating and not enough calorie burning exercise, and the fat tissues will fill up with triglycerides over time.
The fat that is stored in the body due to excessive eating combined with a generally high fat diet and lack of exercise is therefore stored as triglycerides. However, it is when the body can no longer cope with such high levels of triglyceride that the problems really begin to start and the link between high triglyceride and heart disease and other illnesses becomes prominent.
The triglycerides in the body will begin to spill over to your bodily tissues, namely your liver and this will increase the risk of diabetes dramatically. Heart disease is also prominently linked to high triglycerides as the presence of the triglycerides lowers the levels of healthy cholesterol in the body, the HDL normally protecting the body from heart disease and diabetes.
When levels of healthy cholesterol are reduced in the body and unhealthy levels of LDL are increased, these low density lipoproteins mean that more plaque will form in the arteries of the heart, promoting heart disease. By reducing your body fat by as little as ten percent through sensible diet and exercise, you will reduce the levels of unhealthy cholesterol in your body and in turn will reduce the risk of a correlation of high triglycerides and heart disease. By putting into practise a healthier diet you are therefore not only allowing your body to burn more fat and give you the weight and shape you always desired, but your overall health will be very much improved.
How A Potassium Rich Diet Can Help Combat High Blood Pressure
Potassium is an essential mineral vital for proper functioning of various body systems. The kidneys naturally regulate the amount of potassium in the body to keep it healthy. Potassium is a must for people suffering from high blood pressure. Eating a diet rich in potassium can help combat high blood pressure and keep your heart healthy. Researches show that a diet low in sodium and high on potassium is the key to having a healthy heart and prevent most heart diseases. People who have high blood pressure need to eat a lot fresh fruits and vegetables as they are rich sources of potassium and can help manage the blood pressure levels.
In order to enjoy the benefits of potassium in controlling high blood pressure you need to eat a diet rich in potassium. Fruits and vegetables are the best sources of potassium and you should eat fresh fruits and vegetables daily to have a healthy heart and control your blood pressure. Researches show that we should consume 4700 milligrams of potassium every day to reduce risks of high blood pressure and heart diseases. Many people take too little potassium in their diet, often almost half of the daily requirement which gives rise to high blood pressure and other heart related problems.
What Low Potassium Levels Lead to
When we eat a diet which is low in potassium levels it can lead to a number of problems like:
i) Hypertension
High blood pressure is a serious health condition which can be prevented or treated by increasing potassium intake in our daily diet. When our diet lacks sufficient amount of potassium it can lead to heart attacks, strokes and other health conditions related to an increased blood pressure.
ii) Fatigue
When you don't eat the amount of potassium required by our body it can lead to mental and physical fatigue. This is because an improper balance of sodium and potassium in the body hampers proper functioning of body systems and makes us feel tired easily.
You can get the required amount of potassium from your diet by incorporating fruits and vegetables in your diet. Potatoes, bananas, beans etc are rich in potassium and can be included in our diet. You can also increase the amount of potassium intake by changing the way of cooking vegetables. When we boil vegetables for cooking most of the potassium content is lost. You can steam, roast or bake vegetables to cook them to retain most of its potassium content. You can even take potassium supplements to supply the body with its requirement of potassium, but always consult a doctor before doing so especially if you have any kidney problems.
The role of potassium in having a healthy heart and maintaining blood pressure levels is vital. It is important for proper functioning of various body systems including our heart. You should include sufficient amount potassium in your diet and also reduce your sodium intake to manage your blood pressure levels. You should also limit alcohol consumption, avoid smoking and maintain a healthy weight to help combat high blood pressure.
How to lower cholesterol levels for longevity and better health
Elevated cholesterol levels are a modern epidemic of sorts, with more people reaching the upper limits of healthy levels every day. In today's developed world, high cholesterol is associated with increased cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, circulatory ailments, and is a contributor to premature aging. All of us should have our cholesterol checked regularly, and follow our doctor's advice on how to lower those levels if they are too high. For thos who want to make themselves healthier through natural approaches, here are some tips on how to lower cholesterol levels for health and longevity.
The most important change a person can make to lower levels of cholesterol is in the area of diet. What we eat every day is the biggest contributor to a high count, and it is also the one that we have the most control over. Most doctors and nutritionists recommend a nutrition lifestyle that is low in animal fats and high in fiber-rich foods.
Fiber is an almost miraculous cholesterol attacker because it actually binds the substance to itself and removes it from the body. Fruits and vegetables are a good source of fiber, and the more colorful (bright and dark green, orange, yellow) the vegetable the better. Fruit tends to be very high in sugars, so if possible stick to those that can be eaten with the skin such as apples, grapes, and nectarines.
Whole grains are a given when it comes to increasing dietary fiber, but a person on a cholesterol healthy plan will be sure to be watchful for refined products that get mixed in with so-called whole grain products. Not all whole wheat products are made with only whole grains, and it takes a careful consumer to watch what is being eaten.
Perhaps just as important to the cholesterol reducing nutrition lifestyle is what not to eat. It is important to limit the intake of all animal products that are high in fat content, especially red meat, dairy products, eggs, sweet desserts that use sugar and fats for their appeal, all fried foods, most convenience and fast foods, and smoking and caffeine. If a person becomes more aware of what processed foods contain and how unhealthy they can be for cholesterol levels and related maladies, then he or she will become a more savvy consumer in both senses.
Another important way to lower cholesterol is by taking natural supplements. The one supplement most recommended for reducing counts is omega 3 fish oil. While it is possible to get the oils from eating fish, the concentrated form is more easily ingested and assimilated, and some people just don't like to eat fish. There are many varieties of fish oil supplements available, and taking just about any of them can help.
Finally, knowing how to lower cholesterol levels requires a commitment to exercise. Sedentary people who don't watch their diets are the most likely to have elevated cholesterol levels, so any exercise is better than none. Walking, swimming, and cycling are low-impact forms of exercise that are amazingly helpful in lowering levels, and of course more strenuous activity is even better.
What are triglycerides
Triglycerides are found in nature in the form of fats. Some are unsaturated while others are saturated. There is a high presence in processed foods, like vegetable oil, though lower amounts are found in some animals fats. Triglycerides, for humans, are a type of lipid that is present in the blood. The main job that is assigned to them is to carry fat, so the metabolism can use it as an energy source.
When a person eats food, the triglycerides will absorb any calories that are not used immediately. The body will release hormones, later in between meals in order to keep energy levels stable. This is the life of a triglyceride lipid as it works through your bloodstream, keeping your energy up. However, triglycerides can also be stored up in the body, particularly in the fat cells and the liver too.
It's been found that they even carry twice as much energy as carbohydrates, and even more than proteins. This is why it's healthy to eat a balanced diet that includes moderate amounts of dietary fat.Consuming too much fat, when combined with a high carbohydrate diet, can increase the amount of triglycerides present. This will put the body at a much higher risk, for heart disease and stroke. It's also possible it could increase the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes as well as other major health concerns. For those already diagnosed with one of conditions, it can lead to worsening symptoms, and poor quality of life.
triglycerides are not to be confused with cholesterol. While they are both lipids, they perform different jobs within the body. Like triglycerides, cholesterol is also needed by the body, though not in large amounts that are presently consumed by many people. Cholesterol doesn't help the metabolism, instead it helps to repair and build healthy cells.
If you're unsure whether you have high triglycerides, you should consult your doctor and ask them to perform the necessary tests. It can be done with a simple 12 hour fasting blood work, and from here you can discuss the results with your doctor.
Triglyceride Ranges:
- Normal — Less than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or less than 1.7 millimoles per L (mmol/L)
- Borderline high — 150 to 199 mg/dL (1.8 to 2.2 mmol/L)
- High — 200 to 499 mg/dL (2.3 to 5.6 mmol/L)
- Very high — 500 mg/dL or above (5.7 mmol/L or above)
The real optimal level is around 100 or lower, this offers the most protection for your heart. However, if your test puts you in the normal to borderline high range, you should attempt this with lifestyle change, not prescription medications. Changing your diet, exercise habits and introducing natural supplements is a great start towards a healthier you. Each body is different, but there have been excellent results reported by those who chose a healthy lifestyle over medication, when lowering triglycerides. Not every diet will work for every person either, so it's important to give each one an equal chance. If you're finding difficulty, you can always choose natural supplements before using prescription drugs.
Supplements can be found in abundance, but there are some that stick out more than others. These products have been around for a lot longer, and have helped many people live healthier lives. Garlic is a wonder-herb as it helps the body in so many different ways, from the immune system to the heart. When you combine a low-fat, moderate carbohydrate diet, exercise and natural supplements like garlic, your might become healthier, and triglycerides will lower.

"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off agaaaiiiiin...!" *ding*Any object, if launched with sufficient force, will sail clean over the horizon and vanish into the distant sky. A moment after it disappears, a four-pointed "twinkle" will appear in the spot where it was last seen, sometimes rotating briefly, along with a high-pitched "ringing" noise. If the object is potentially explosive, it will blow up after the twinkle. It's also sometimes used to show that something is coming down from the sky. This particular use may be true, as in the Second World War, Japanese AA gunners on ships were trained to watch for the gleam of an approaching dive bomber's canopy. Because after that, the only indication that something was coming was the whistling of bombs falling.

How to make your own "custom" deck boxes!
First of all, it's all about presentation. The Hello Kitty deck box wouldn't have been possible without the sleeves, playmat, and additional accessories. So if you're planning to give this as a present, be sure to complete the "ensemble" and go all in.
For my second deck box, I wanted something a bit special for my Legacy Miracles deck. So here are the materials needed for a simple deck box (which is extremely cheap):
So, nothing too special is it? Like I said, it's part of how you present it. It's rather dull without additional things. The Vinyl decals can be found online on the cheap or if you know a friend at the mall that runs a little booth. This is where you decide on the the theme. What you pick as the decal will affect the color choice on the Dragon Shield Gaming Box.
In this example today, A gold Zelda Triforce logo, you would buy a Black Dragon Shield Gaming Box. The tricky part is applying the logo. Here's how to do it:
I know this might not be so mind blowing, but with the proper accessories, it adds up. Take example the Hello Kitty play mat. It's not your traditional playmat, but it's actually an activity pad for children I picked up at Anna's Linens - Bedding, Bath, Dining, etc for only $1.99 USD.
I hope this will inspire you guys to be creative when making gifts for your loved ones. Whether it's for your anniversary or for someone special.
