What's Your Take on "Housewife Classes"?
What's Your Take on "Housewife Classes"?
I just read an article in the LA Times that struck a nerve with me, and I have a feeling you will all agree. This Fall, the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary will be offering a class on how to be a better housewife — a class only open to women, of course! This academic program will offer lectures on laundering stubborn stains and how to bake chocolate-chip cookies.
While some women feel it's their duty to be a homemaker, such classes went out of style at most secular colleges a half century ago, which could be why only eight out of the 300 students in the undergraduate program have enrolled in this class. On the flip side, it's comforting to know that some men out there are speaking up, suggesting that it's actually the men that need these classes. As Andy Cecrle stated, "What if my wife is sick and my kids need clean clothes? It may not hurt to have some basic tips." Amen Andy!
I am sure you ladies have a mouthful to say in response to all of this, so what's your take on housewife classes? If you were offered these classes in school, would you take them or would you be offended? And if you could make a class such as this mandatory for men, do you think they would benefit from it?

Von Miller was born on March 26, 1989, to Von Sr. and Gloria Miller. He grew up in Texas, where high school football is a religious experience. Coached by Dave Meadows at DeSoto High School, Miller quickly made his way into the eyes of District 8-5A, who made him their most valuable player as a senior. As a junior in 2005, Miller had 37 tackles, seven sacks, 14 tackles for loss (TFL) and 12 quarterback hurries, but he improved on that as a senior, notching 76 tackles, six sacks and 14 TFL. The TFL, hurries and sacks were something that would become the norm for him in game situations. From high school on, Von showed that he had a knack for getting into the backfield.
Miller decided to stay in-state and attend Texas A&M, carrying a University studies major with concentrations in life sciences and agriculture. He began playing there as a freshman rather than taking a redshirt season. It was a good choice: Miller was able to post 22 tackles (10 solo), but also had two QB sacks and four TFL. It was enough to gain him being named to the Freshman All-Big 12 team by the Sporting News, partially on the strength of his game against Missouri, where he had five tackles, two of them TFL and one sack.
His early fanfare on limited play worked against him, though - Miller is something of a practical joker, and with his recognition and early fame, he developed a habit of skipping class as well as not producing as well during spring practice. Disgusted, head coach Mike Sherman suspended him for the spring. He went home and told his father the story of the situation, adding that he was thinking of transferring schools. His father didn't buy it for a moment, telling the younger Von that he'd made a commitment and he was danged well going to keep to it.
Happy Friday, Broncos fans! Denver's night didn't last long, as they selected LB Von Miller out of Texas A&M at #2 and sat by the phones the rest of the first round (although some phone calls were made). So, the Broncos have vastly upgraded their LB corps, and they'll enter tonight with three choices - numbers 36, 46 and 67 overall. Plenty of ammo to add a defensive tackle or two, plus perhaps a new right tackle and/or a tight end or running back. While Denver didn't make any trades last night, their reported desire to come away with more choices than the seven they started the draft with could come to fruition tonight.
Mike Klis wrote that Denver could trade back from the #36 spot with teams hot and heavy for QBs Colin Kaepernick of Nevada and Andy Dalton of TCU, and they figure to have interest in using their picks tonight on any of DTs Stephen Paea, Marvin Austin and Jurrell Casey, OT Ben Ijalana, RBs Mikel Leshoure, Daniel Thomas and Ryan Williams, TEs Kyle Rudolph and Lance Kendricks and CB Aaron Williams. Plus, he noted that from Miller's Dove Valley meeting with the Broncos' brass, the player expects to be the Sam 'backer on first and second downs and to focus solely upon rushing the passer on third downs.
We hope you enjoyed our coverage here at IAOFM of the first round last night, and you can expect more of the same tonight - Ted will be evaluating each pick instantly while the four of us will again be Chewing the Fat for each of Denver's selections, and there will of course be an open thread for y'all to discuss the goings on. But before that, we have Doc's excellent Broncography of Von Miller coming in just over an hour from now, and Ted will provide some analysis later on of the labor situation and Denver's Day 2 options.
The Broncos have gone with Texas A&M LB Von Miller second overall, and here's our take:
Doc - Hi fives in Denver's war room! It's Miller Time! Now, fix that DL!
Doug - wow this kid is emotional about coming to Denver - love it. Plus, I like that he has cool glasses and is rocking the mesh hat - he'd fit right into my hood. So guys what do you think?
TJ - Once again the lesson for me is to trust Ted's instincts - he had the Broncos taking Miller months ago. Miller is simply ridiculous on tape. He's so fast off the edge he will give any tackle in the NFL fits.
Doug - Yeah when I read Ted first mention him as a Broncos pick three months ago, I had never even heard of the guy before - although that's just my ignorance haha...
Doc - I love Miller - he earned that Butkus Award. I have concerns about the DT position, but I'm willing to wait and see how they deal with them. As far as Miller, he's excellent in the pass rush, has more moves than you commonly see in a college LB and is lightning fast. He's talented in coverage - it was his full-time responsibility his sophomore year in Joe Kines' 4-3 - and Denver needs that coverage skill. Also, Fox attacks the LB from the Sam position, so Miller will be opposite Doom much of the time. It's a great pick.

He also focuses on the NFL's business and legal environment, offensive and defensive schemes, going off on unrelated tangents, and all 32 teams in the NFL. Follow along as he offers his instant analysis of tonight's NFL Draft.

Good Afternoon, Broncos fans! Lots of happenings, or at least rumored happenings - so it's time for another double dose of the Lard! First things first - as we here at IAOFM have been telling you since December (Ted for much longer, look it up), John Elway came out today in full support of Tim Tebow as the future QB of the Broncos. While he didn't necessarily state that Tebow will be the starter in 2011, he said to ESPN's Ed Werder about as much as he could without providing Kyle Orton with a slap in the face:
Let's put it this way, I'm his biggest fan. He's one of those guys who -- if he comes out and is the player we hope he can be -- then we're in pretty darn good shape...I don't know if it's going to be this fall or this time next year. But I think he's got the desire that eventually he's going to be very effective...I think where we are as an organization, we're going to go with Tim.
WHEREAS Peyton Hillis did consistently perform feats of superhuman strength, otherworldy athleticism, and other-universely grit, while maintaining large biceps and wearing alligator-skinned boots on his off-time, and loving Wal-Mart, apple pie (from Wal-Mart), grandma (a greeter at Wal-Mart), and wholesome milk from American cows (in the Northern Mariana Islands),
AND WHEREAS he played for a since-deposed coach who took a lenient attitude toward his eight fumbles, especially those which happened while hurdling other men, because, hey, that's a highlight play on SportsCenter most of the time,
AND WHEREAS the greater Cleveland area has long been looking for a true caucasian hero, from towns like Euclid and Lyndhurst to Beachwood and Solon, through Brecksville and Strongsville, and Middleburg Heights, and up to the noted caucasian haven of Parma, through Fairview Park, North Olmsted, Lakewood, Rocky River, and Westlake, and extending outward to the white parts of Lorain County, Summit County, Portage County, Geauga County, and every other damn county with a significant caucasian population who wants in on this,
AND WHEREAS a legion of scorned Broncos fans, and stupid dumbass reporters at the Denver Post can now gloat, and say they told us so,
LET IT BE RESOLVED that today, April 28, 2011, shall be called White Boy Day. We at IAOFM congratulate Peyton Hillis and his legion of caucasian fans in Cleveland, Denver, Arkansas, and soon, the entire globe on their shared victory. We hope it tastes sweet like Wal-Mart apple pie.
Happy Draft Day, Broncos fans! So, the NFL Draft begins tonight but it may not even be the most important football doings of the day - as Judge Nelson denied the NFL's request for a stay of her injunction last night, we're at something of a showdown. The league is still trying to put off starting the new league year at the risk of putting itself in contempt of court and losing even more than what they've already have - and we could be talking about financial penalties in this case. So, the owners have requested a stay of the injunction from the Eighth Circuit, and there's always the possibility that court will indeed issue a stay sometime today (or soon).
But if not, then the NFL will only be wading into deeper and deeper doo-doo with Judge Nelson, and things will only get uglier for those billionaires everyone was feeling bad for six weeks ago. So, while it's unlikely the clock on the new league year will start in the next day or two (because at this point the owners may be desperate to hold onto something) and therefore not permit trades of vets or free-agent signings, it's possible that it does...
Of course, we will have an open thread and live analysis tonight and all throughout the draft. BTW, TJ and Doc are jumping on the Twitter wagon, so be sure to follow them: @T_J_Johnson and @alloverfatman - you know, if laughter and intelligent analysis appeal to you at all...
According to SBJ's Liz Mullen, Judge Susan Nelson has turned down the NFL's request for a stay of her lockout injunction. This means the NFL
is going to may have to start the clock on the 2011 league year soon, if not ASAP and could therefore open the door for free agent signings and trades of veteran players for draft choices (cough*Kyle*cough*Orton*cough).
ESPN's Adam Schefter has tweeted that Judge Nelson ordered the NFL to start the league year immediately after earlier saying the NFL will now turn to the Eighth Circuit to request a stay, while Gary Myers of the Daily News tweeted that it's uncertain whether the NFL will start the league year just yet.
Mullen just tweeted the following:
Judge Nelson denies NFL's motion to stay the injunction, of the NFL Lockout & leaves it to the NFL to decide what rules to impose. NFL Free Agency may start tomorrow, the same day as the NFL Draft, or not depending on what the NFL chooses to do, under Judge's order...Judge: "This Court's Order does not obligate the #NFL to enter into contracts, nor does it proscribe the League's non-lockout conduct.."
Schefter tweeted that the NFL is instructing teams not to make any moves until the Eighth Circuit rules on the stay request. More to come...

TechAFX Joins Car Buff Network
This "Online Automotive Network" allows enthusiasts find out which shop may have built a particular project car or truck, where that shop is, & what products they recommend. You can also see what a particular shop's skills are & how they can help your build move towards completion.
The vision for this "Google of the Aftermarket" is to connect build shops, small businesses, aftermarket manufacturers, painters, fabricators, etc. with customers & enthusiasts. You will also be able to see what events these shops plan to attend, so you can see their work & meet them in person.
Car Buff's founder, Trent Campbell, grew up building, breaking, & playing with cars like most of us. Last month, SEMA profiled him as a "Young Entrepreneur". Here's SEMA's description of this rapidly expanding website:
The website is a worldwide profile-based automotive network/directory, providing local automotive businesses with access to an inexpensive, search-engine-optimized web presence without special software or computer knowledge. According to Campbell, once a profile is set up, it is easily maintained by the owner and can be searched by preferred markets and services as well as by location. In addition, the website can profile projects, events, organizations, travel destinations and clubs related to the automotive industry.
We at TechAFX really like the concept & we think that the CarBuffNetwork can also help make more consumers aware of the thousands of companies that proudly display a MADE IN THE USA logo on their products!

A segmented type abrasive pad for use in stone finishing industries. The pad is less expensive than prior segmented pads and has increased life due to the inclusion of non-abrasive load bearing segments. The non-abrasive segments allow for the use of less diamond segment material without sacrificing performance or longevity of the pad.
1. An abrasive pad comprising:
a backing substrate including a means for attachment to a rotary tool;
a plurality of abrasive segments having a thickness attached to the backing substrate, said plurality of abrasive segments being spaced about the pad and being raised from said backing substrate, and each of said abrasive segments having an abrasive surface for defining a co-planar abrasive surface during rotation of the pad;
a plurality of non-abrasive segments attached to said backing substrate, said plurality of non-abrasive segments positioned between said abrasive segments, said plurality of non-abrasive segments having a thickness and being raised from said backing substrate, and each of said non-abrasive segments having a face surface which is co-planar with said co-planar abrasive surface;
and a gap between adjacent abrasive and non-abrasive segments;
whereby the load imposed on the abrasive pad is distributed between said abrasive surface and said non-abrasives surfaces for reducing frictional wear on said abrasive segments.
2. The abrasive pad of claim 1 wherein said abrasive segments are equiangularly spaced about the substrate with non-abrasive segments equiangularly spaced between the abrasive segments.
3. The abrasive pad of claim 2 wherein the non-abrasive segments radially have a greater length than said abrasive segments.
4. The abrasive pad of claim 3 wherein said abrasive segments and said non-abrasive segments have a generally truncated pie slice shape.
5. The abrasive pad of claim 4 wherein said abrasive segments comprise diamond grit particles interspersed throughout a polymeric binder material.
6. The abrasive pad of claim 5 wherein said abrasive segments and non-abrasive segments each have a thickness of from about 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch.
7. The abrasive pad of claim 6 wherein said abrasive segments have chamfered edges.
8. The abrasive pad of claim 7 wherein said non-abrasive segments have chamfered edges.
This is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 651,808, filed Feb. 7,1991, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a novel abrasive segment type abrasive pad. More particularly, the present invention relates to an abrasive segment type abrasive pad which has reduced cost and longer wear characteristics due to the introduction of non-abrasive segments in the pad structure.
Segmented abrasive disks are known in the art for polishing of stone, granite or marble. Such segmented disks have a backing substrate and a plurality of abrasive segments attached thereto in various formations. The abrasive segments generally comprise a resin or polymer material which has diamond grit abrasive particles interspersed therein to provide the requisite abrasive characteristics. These segments generally have a multi-layer of diamond particles and have a thickness generally from about 1/8 to about 1/2 inch, depending on the particular application. Because of the use of the interspersed diamond grit particles in the segments such segmented type disks are expensive to produce. However, the finishing characteristics of such an abrasive pad provide advantages which make the costs worthwhile. Because of this relatively high cost it has been desirable in the art to use the least amount of abrasive segments which can adequately finish this surface in the desired manner.
In the past, it was believed that minimizing the amount of segments utilized in such a disk would maximize the cost effectiveness of a disk. However, some disadvantages were found in merely reducing the amount of segments or surface area of the segments utilized on such a disk. For instance, with reduction in the segment surface area, more load was placed on each of the individual abrasive segments. This caused inefficient frictional wear of the abrasive diamond segments, thus, reducing the useful life of the abrasive pad. Additionally, it was found that with reduction in the number of segments used the greater spacing between the segments caused problems when polishing or grinding of surfaces having steps or edges or other uneven obstructions. It was found that such spaced segment configurations tended to catch the edge of the work piece as the pad traversed the edge. This would cause chipping of the abrasive segment and/or work surface thereby interposing the chipped portion in between the abrasive segment and the surface. This may result in undesirable scratching of the work surface.
Thus, it has been a goal in the art to reduce the costs of such pads by reducing the amount of abrasive segment material utilized without the disadvantages as noted above.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided an abrasive pad which has a backing substrate and a means for attachment to a rotary tool. The abrasive pad of the present invention includes a plurality of abrasive segments, which have a predetermined thickness, attached to the backing substrate. These plurality of abrasive segments are spaced about the pad and collectively form a co-planar abrasive surface. A plurality of non-abrasive segments are spaced between the abrasive segments in the present invention. The non-abrasive segments have a thickness and include a face surface which is co-planar with the co-planar abrasive surface. In the present invention, the use of these non-abrasive segments distributes the load imposed on the abrasive pad between these non-abrasive surfaces and the abrasive surfaces for reducing the frictional wear of the abrasive segments and for solving the problem of chipping. Additionally, less diamond segment material may be utilized without loss of effectiveness of the pad, therefore, the overall cost of the abrasive pad is reduced.
Further advantages of the present invention will become known to those skilled in that art in light of the following drawings when considered with the description of the preferred embodiment and the claims set forth below.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an abrasive disk made in accordance with teachings of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1 showing a section of the abrasive segments;
FIG. 3 a sectional view taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 1 showing a section of the non-abrasive segments.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a novel abrasive pad, generally shown at 10. The abrasive pad 10 includes a backing substrate 12 with a means for attachment of the pad to a rotary tool (not shown), the means for attachment may be any of the fabric type fasteners such as a velcro hook or loop type fabric fastener 14. A plurality of abrasive segments 16 are attached to the backing substrate by adhesives or the like for providing the abrasive characteristics to the pad. Non-abrasive segments 18 are interspersed among the abrasive segments 16. The non-abrasive segments 18 allow distribution of the load between the non-abrasive segments and abrasive segments, thereby reducing frictional wear on the abrasive segment and reducing the amount of abrasive segments necessary. The abrasive segments 16 are of common construction in the art and generally include abrasive grit particles 15, preferably diamond grit particles, which are interspersed throughout a polymeric or resin type binder material. Generally, abrasive segments 16 which are used on these pads have a thickness of from about 1/8 of an inch to 1/2 inch. Such abrasive segments 16 are designed such that they will wear away, during use, to continually expose new grit material. In a preferred embodiment, the segments are truncated pie slice shapes with radially inner and outer curved edges. The abrasive segments 16 are adhesively attached to the substrate 12. The abrasive segments 16 preferably include chamfered edges 17 about the periphery. The chamfered edges 17 are somewhat advantageous when utilizing such pads on uneven surfaces. If a rough part or edge of a surface is encountered, the chamfered edges 17 will assist in traversal of the edge. The plurality of segments 16 collectively define a co-planar abrasive surface which is best shown in FIG. 2 by reference numeral 20. Thus, each of the abrasive segments 16 are of equal thickness such that the coplanar abrasive surface 20 is operable for cutting during rotation of the pad during grinding.
The improvement of the present invention is in the plurality of non-abrasive segments 18 which are utilized in the abrasive pad structure of this invention. The non-abrasive segments 18 are produced of the same or similar wearing polymer material used in the abrasive segments 16. Thus, the non-abrasive segments 18 are designed to wear at the same rate as the abrasive segments 16. In the present invention the non-abrasive segments 18 are the same thickness as the abrasive segments used and include the non-abrasive face surface 22 which collectively among the non-abrasive segments 18 define a surface which is co-planar to the surface 20 of the abrasive segments. The non-abrasive segments 18 also have chamfered edges 19 on the peripheral edges and are configured in a truncated pie slice type shape.
During operation of the rotational pad the non-abrasive segments 18 act as a load bearing surface which distributes the load forces, imposed on the pad during use, between the non-abrasive surfaces 22 and the abrasive surfaces 20.
In the present invention, the non-abrasive segments 18 are made of a relatively inexpensive polymer material and do not include expensive diamond grit particles therein. Thus, the pad itself has a lesser number of abrasive segments thereby reducing the cost of the pad without sacrificing performance characteristics. In addition, because the non-abrasive segments 18 are load bearing and wear at the same rate as the abrasive segments 16, the non-abrasive segments 18 protect the abrasive segments 16 from undue wear which lengthens the life of the abrasive segments 16 and therefore lengthens the useful life of the abrasive pad. In a preferred embodiment the non-abrasive segments 18 extend radially inwardly beyond the radially inward edge of the abrasive segments 16 to further distribute loads imposed on the pad.
A circular pad is shown herein as a preferred embodiment wherein the abrasive segments are equiangularly situated on the pad with the non-abrasive segments equiangularly spaced between each pair of abrasive segments 16. However, as will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that non-abrasive load bearing segments could be advantageously used in other pad structures and in other configurations than the embodiment shown without deviating from the teachings of the present invention.
While the above disclosure sets forth a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be subject to modification, variation and change without departing from the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, it is intended that the scope of the present invention be limited only by the following claims.

DESPITE the slump in the economy, Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Zulhasnan Rafique is not letting up on his corporate responsibility in ensuring that every child in the city gets an education.
To ensure this, the minister announced
that two more religious schools, namely Sekolah Menengah Agama Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (SMAMAIWP) and Sekolah Tahfiz Sains or better known as "Imtiaz School" will be built in the city.
He said the construction for the agama school was being built on a 3.36ha site at the Bandar Sri Permaisuri in Bandar Tun Razak parliamentary constituency and expected to be ready by end of next year.
"The boarding secondary school will be
able to accommodate 1,200 students and will be equipped with various facilities including laboratories, workers' quarters and a surau," he said.
Zulhasnan was speaking to reporters after handing over donations to 70 students who excelled in their Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah Agama (UPSRA) last year, at Taman Setiawangsa last Saturday.
Meanwhile, Zulhasnan, who is the Setiawangsa MP, said the Imtiaz School would be developed by the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP) on a 8.8ha site in Setiawangsa.
"The initial allocation of RM30mil from MAIWP has been approved and the groundbreaking ceremony will be held next month," he said.
He added that there were only four Imtiaz schools in the country so far and all were located in Terengganu.
"We hope that both the agama school and
the Imtiaz school will be able to produce educated young Muslims with good character and confidence to face future challenges," he added.

Met Museum Opens Ellsworth Kelly Plant Drawings Exhibition Today, 6/5
Ellsworth Kelly may be best known for his rigorous abstract painting. However, Kelly has made figurative drawings throughout his career, and has created an extraordinary body of work that now spans six decades. Ellsworth Kelly Plant Drawings-at The Metropolitan Museum of Art from today, June 5 through September 3, 2012-will be the first major museum exhibition dedicated exclusively to the artist's drawings of plants, flowers, and leaves. The selection of approximately 75 drawings begins in 1948 during Kelly's early sojourn in Paris and continues throughout his travels to his most recent work made in upstate New York. The exhibition will include loans from major public and private collections.
Ranging from seaweed suspended in his studio, to a flower discovered on the road side, to a single banana leaf examined at close range, Kelly's renderings of plants-he likens them to portraits-are precisely observed studies of forms in nature. They are also steeped in memory and personal experience. "The most pleasurable thing in the world, for me," the artist once said, "is to see something, and then to translate how I see it." Although Kelly occasionally introduces brushed color in his exquisite depictions of blossoms, leaves, or fruit, he generally favors contour drawing in graphite or ink.
The exhibition is made possible in part by the Gail and Parker Gilbert Fund and the Jane and Robert Carroll Fund.
The first exhibition of Ellsworth Kelly's plant drawings was at the Metropolitan Museum, in 1969, when Henry Geldzahler, then Curator of Contemporary Art, included 30 examples in the historic exhibition New York Painting and Sculpture: 1940-1970. In addition to the works on paper, Geldzahler, working closely with the artist, installed a group of 12 paintings and sculptures in a separate gallery. For the first time, these figurative images could be seen in the context of Kelly's abstract work. Since then, the plant drawings have been appreciated in numerous exhibitions and publications.

Secrets in a strand of hair: A new window on cardiovascular health
By Dr. Michael Wright
Blood samples are generally considered the gold standard for determining cardiovascular risk, but as a new study suggests, traditional health screenings may be on the line now that a new form of testing is making headlines in heart health.
According to a Dutch study published in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, just one strand of hair when closely analyzed has much to reveal about an individual's heart including trends in cortisol and stress levels – two factors that can greatly increase your chance at sustaining future heart disease.
"Like high blood pressure or abdominal fat, the findings suggest elevated cortisol levels are an important signal that an individual is at risk of cardiovascular disease," researcher Dr. Laura Manenschijn, of Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, said in a news release.
After studying a group of 283 individuals between the ages of 65 and 85 years old, researchers discovered that cortisol levels found within the composition of hair could reveal a person's risk for heart disease. The study concluded that high cortisol levels contained within strands leads to greater risk for stroke, coronary disease, diabetes or peripheral arterial disease.
"Because scalp hair can capture information about how cortisol levels have changed over time, hair analysis gives us a better tool for evaluating that risk," she explained.
Consumers who are eager to have their hair analyzed will have to nonetheless wait. Researchers say the long-term link between cortisol and the heart must be further explored before hair testing becomes a standard in cardiovascular wellbeing. Until then, there's plenty you can do to stay on top of your cardiovascular health – and here's how.
When it comes to preventing heart disease, regular checkups and blood tests are just the beginning in taking control over your cardiovascular health. Here's what you can do to stay heart healthy.
Quit Smoking
Smoking is not just a bad habit – it's a deadly killer responsible for countless deaths every year due to the stress it places on the heart. Tobacco use leads also to the narrowing of arteries which can also increase your risk for a heart attack. Talk to your doctor about programs that can help you kick the habit.
Exercise & Maintain Healthy Weight
When it comes to preventing heart disease, daily activity and healthy weight can go miles in maintaining heart health. You can get creative with your exercise goals by taking stairs, taking up activities like gardening and dancing, window shopping, doing leg lifts while seated, taking a quick stroll around your office building on lunch breaks, housekeeping, daily stretches – the point is, you can stay active even if you maintain a busy schedule by implementing small amounts of exercise throughout your day.
Weight is better maintained when your diet is rich in fruits and vegetables, so try to include at least two varieties with every meal.

2012 Filippi "Castelcerino" Soave Colli Scaligeri
Review Date: 11-25-2014
This is an incredible wine, grown in volcanic soil and partially macerated on the skins. That skin contact adds a tremendous flavor boost, like Granny Smith apple skins on steroids, yet balance with superb acidity and minerality. The wine has weight, complexity, intense flavors and a sensational finish. Long, powerful and something you won't soon forget. Have it with grilled sea bass or lobster, it's an experience.
Drink from 2014 to 2017
Price: $14.99
2011 La Massa "Giorgio Primo" Toscana
Review Date: 11-25-2014
After an initial bit of bottle shock upon release this wine has finally come into balance! If you are a fan of Bordeaux or California Cabernet this wine is more similar to them than other Italian Bordeaux blends. The nose if full of blackberry, currant with hints of vanilla and on the palate the 70% Cabernet Sauvignon 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot blend gives a powerful impression. Layers of fruit, spice, and earth with a smooth and supple texture give this wine a balanced, long but luscious finish. Aged for 18 months in 80% new French oak barriques this wine can surely age for another decade plus but is still very drinkable now.
Drink from 2014 to 2024
Price: $79.99
2010 Viticcio Chianti Classico Riserva
Review Date: 11-24-2014
This wine took me by surprise but it needed an equipment change suggested by my dining companion to fulfill its promise. It being Sangiovese-based, I went to my tried-and-true Chianti/Zin glass but this wine struggled--it was tannic and awkward. But switching to a Cabernet/Bordeaux glass opened up this wine's depth and smoothed out the tannins. Layers of spice, dark fruit and leather just flow from the glass and on the palate; the richness and concentrated character adds real length and concentration. Drinking well now, but still capable of aging another decade! Try it with a grilled rib-eye drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
Drink from 2014 to 2022

2013 Blason Friulano Isonzo
Review Date: 11-20-2014
Giovanni Blason is a dynamo. His small winery on the extreme eastern edge of Italy produces about 3,000 cases annually and Giovanni, with the help of his consulting enologist Andrea Rossi, is producing wines of outstanding quality for bargain prices. His wines have received high marks from Italian critics. I Friulano, this is the Friulian national drink I love the freshness this wine has, the crisp minerality, the hint of tarragon in the finish, lively and fresh on the palate. Sprightly and nicely acidic, it is also somehow creamy with peach and apricot notes and a hint of clover honey on the end. No oak here, thank you. It is so refreshing and sensationally balanced, crisp and refreshing. Enjoy it with sautéed red snapper, grilled vegetables or with some Frico! Frico is fried Montasio cheese that crisps up and is absolutely delicious! (Greg St Clair, K&L Italian buyer):
Drink from 2014 to 2016
Price: $9.99
2012 Erik Banti "Carato" Toscana
Review Date: 11-18-2014
Erik Bantis Carato is a Mini Super Tuscan! Its a blend of 75% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and 10% Ciliegiolo aged for 10 months in oak barrels and is just delicious. The wine tastes like it should cost much more, full, smooth, flavorful with excellent balance. A K&L Direct Import that offers you extraordinary value, and at this price you will be saying--Wow!
Drink from 2014 to 2016
Price: $7.99
2010 Majo di Norante "Contado" Riserva Aglianico di Molise
Review Date: 11-18-2014
Aglianico is a big, bold powerful grape and in Majo Norantes Contado Riserva you get a real mouthful for the price. Smokey, earthy nose that seems to deepen as it escapes the glass, full of dense fruit and hints of vanillin. On the palate this wine is powerful, structured and decisive; layers of flavor explode across your tongue and leave you saying holy wow. The wine finishes with a bit of a reassuring grip long lasting flavors. This wine comes from one of Italys least know Regions called Molise, its on the Adriatic side of the peninsula between Abruzzo and Puglia.
Drink from 2014 to 2020
Price: $11.99
Bibi Graetz "Casamatta" Toscana
Review Date: 11-18-2014
Hard to imagine that you can get such good quality at this price but yes you can! One of the ways is to make a multi vintage blend (non vintage sounds so passé) like this one where one vintages lesser characteristics can actually balance out anothers. This wine is full of bold cherry and plum fruit, with lots of soft fleshy richness on the palate, just a wonderful drinking wine! Try it with your favorite pizza, or sausage and pepper pasta.
Drink from 2014 to 2016
Price: $8.99
2008 Bisceglia Aglianico del Vulture "Gudarrà"
Review Date: 11-18-2014
I love this wines complexity, layers of wild brush, smoke, truffle, tar, saddle leather and big bold plumy fruit. Aglianico is a powerhouse grape and the wines that come from Vulture, in Basilicata (the instep of the boot) have origins that come from an ancient volcano and that soil lifts and brightens this tannic variety into a superbly balanced and delicious wine. While definitely having a tannic signature this wine has such great balance that it is really drinking well right now and will age well for another 5-8 years. This is a wine that is perfect for braised meats or hearty pasta dishes.
Drink from 2014 to 2020
Price: $19.99
2012 Sesta di Sopra Rosso di Montalcino
Review Date: 11-17-2014
The desire to call Sesta's 2012 Rosso a "baby" Brunello is really coursing through my veins, as much as I don't like to use the phrase, but man this wine is something. This wine so complete, with such depth of flavor, so much fruit and such perfect balance; it is stunningly good for the price and remarkably drinkable now, although I'll be aging a six-pack myself for another few years. If you're new to Brunello, this is a great wine to get familiar with the region at a really good price.
Drink from 2014 to 2022
Price: $21.99
2013 Fujanera "Bellalma" Falanghina Puglia
Review Date: 11-17-2014
This 100% Falanghina is delicious, it's fermented in stainless steel, and then kept on its lees for two months before being bottled. The nose is a complex perfume of elderflowers and white peach, with a bit of crushed stone that is couched in a med-full body, and it has a long and decidedly refreshing finish. Perfect with Crab or just by itself!

2013 Blason Pinot Grigio Isonzo (1L)
Review Date: 11-17-2014
Giovanni Blasons tiny winery is only 10 miles from Italys eastern border with Slovenia, and here he produces excellent wines for bargain prices! This 2013 vintage was Giovanni's best Pinot Grigio so far, the richness, complexity and balance. This wine recived 2 Glasses in Italy's #1 wine reviewer Gambero Rosso with an additional indication for its unbelievable price to quality ratio. This wine sees no oak treatment just some gentle lees stirring to add a bit of richness. Your holiday go to Pinot Grigio for sure!

2013 Au Bon Climat/K&L Wine Merchants "Bien Nacido Vineyard" Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 11-11-2014
I've sometimes found ABC's wines just a bit lean in their striving for a more Burgundian approach to California wine, and for that I applaud them, but there's something to be said for full flavored California Pinot, and I think with this wine they've done both. There is an extra level of textural pleasure on the palate that one doesn't usually get in ABC but it still has excellent length and that wild touch of complexity that makes it so ABC. Wonderful wine; you should definitely buy this wine.

2013 Brewer-Clifton/K&L Wine Merchants "B-C. Kessler-Haak Vineyard" Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
Review Date: 11-11-2014
One of the best wines I've had from Brewer-Clifton, slightly more reserved, less of the opulent fruit and more complexity. This wine has superb balance, great length and makes a bold statement of flavor, just not over-ripe! Great to drink now, this might end up on my Thanksgiving table for those Pinot lovers.
Drink from 2014 to 2016
Price: $39.99
2011 La Massa "La Massa" Toscana (3.0L)
Review Date: 11-11-2014
La Massas flagship wine is a powerful, complex and overtly flavorful wine. On the palate its texture is supple yet balanced and well structured and it is eminently drinkable. It shows a density for wines in this price range that is astounding. Yet while the density is obvious it still shows a lively energy. This is no couch potato of a wine; it is vibrant, fresh and has a superb finish. Plus this is easy drinking on its own!
Drink from 2014 to 2018
Price: $99.99

Brian Grazer Replacing Brett Ratner as Oscar Producer (Exclusive)
UPDATED: Academy president Tom Sherak confirms the news, first reported by THR, that Grazer will step in to co-produce the show with the previously announced Don Mischer.
Brian Grazer has accepted the Academy's urgent request that he step in to replace Brett Ratner as producer of the 84th Academy Awards.
As The Hollywood Reporter first reported, Academy president Tom Sherak moved quickly to reboot the venerable awards show, which had lost one of its producers as well as host Eddie Murphy, who announced Wednesday that he was withdrawing from the show in the wake of Ratner's departure the previous day.
Grazer, a producer of the upcoming J. Edgar, was at the top of the list of producers whom Sherak approached to come aboard and co-produce the show along with the previously announced Don Mischer. Grazer's first order of business will be naming a new host.
It will be the first time Grazer, who won the best picture award in 2001 for A Beautiful Mind, has produced the telecast, scheduled for Feb. 26.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Memorable Mea Culpas
"Brian Grazer is a renowned filmmaker who over the past 25 years has produced a diverse and extranordinary body of work," Sherak said. "he will certainly bring his tremendous talent, creativity and relationships to the Oscars."
Mischer added, "I am thrilled to welcome Brian Grazer as my partner."
"It's very gratifying to be part of a show that honors excellence in the medium to which I have devoted so much of my career," said Grazer. "Don is a legend, and I am excited to work with him."
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Biggest Blunders
The Academy's new CEO Dawn Hudson added, "I too am delighted that Brian will join Don in producing the Academy Awards and I am looking forward to our producers delivering the movie event of the year."
In addition to his Mind best picture win, Grazer has been nominated in the writing category for Splash and received best picture nominations in 1995 and 2008 for Apollo 13 and Frost/Nixon.

However ,I can generate a 20k image in photoshop. Certainly, it seen some sort of blurring. But you know that I'm living in China, many of my customers are being tormented with 0.5M bandwidth now. They will not like a 210k image, it's too huge!
So, how can I do to generate high compression ratio image in .Net?

The Top Apps for Dentists
The phrase "there's an app for that" has become somewhat commonplace in conversation. Need to learn to budget your money? There's an app for that. Need to learn how to cook? There's an app for that too. With this in mind it shouldn't come as a surprise that there are a ton of apps geared toward you- the dentists.

CyberSecurity for Dental Practices
Dental offices hold many pieces of personal information about their patients such as health history, birthdates and social security numbers. Threat of this information being stolen and misused either by a disgruntled employee or by an outside source is a concern that many dentists have not fully addressed.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Hundreds of job seekers converged on the Kansas Expocentre Friday morning, resumes in hand.
Nearly 70 employers set up shop at Agriculture Hall for U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins' fourth annual jobs fair. Goodyear, Mars, Frito Lay, Payless, Security Benefit and more stood ready to fill openings.
The event's hostess was not there. Jenkins remained in Washington, where Congress faces a midnight Monday deadline to avoid a partial government shutdown.
Job fair attendee Paul Kosmala says he is retired and receiving a pension, but still is looking for a job because of the risings costs of everything from food and clothing to taxes and entertainment options. He said he fears a failure to compromise on a measure to keep the government operating could hurt people already struggling.
Speaking with 13 News via satellite Friday morning, Jenkins said a lot of people are working to ensure a compromise is reached. She said she and her colleagues are doing all they can to ensure vital services are provided for.
Approximately 900 people turned out for Friday's job fair.

audi rs4 convertible has it all
Just acquired my RS4 in Imola yellow with black interior with carbon fiber accents. What a wonderful machine- terrific balance of handling, performance, and ride. Definately a sophisticated muscle car with every possible option, and screwed together with typical Audi quality materials. A true 4-seater sports car. I had been considering a 911 Turbo, but my family pushed me towards this, and I am glad that they did. Definately a head turner, especially in this color combination. The wheels are really out there,too. Watch the speedo, though. Hard to tell how fast you are going.

This is one hauling machine. Obviously the other two ya hoos that reviewed have never driven the car, or any car. This car is responsive and corners like a tiger in pursuit. The engine growls as you accelerate. It is a chic magnet and a conversation starter. If you have the bucks you need not look any further this car has no equals in it's class.

The only thing better than racing at Mazda Raceway, is winning at Mazda Raceway. Thanks to outstanding performances by Freedom Autosport and CJ Wilson Racing, it was a Mazda MX-5 Miata 1-2-3 podium sweep in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge Street Tuner race this weekend. The win moves Mazda into the lead in the manufacturers' championship points chase.
The streak of Chamber of Commerce conditions that blessed the first three rounds of the 13-race 2014 TUDOR United SportsCar Championship continued today at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca where the fourth round of the championship was witnessed by an enthusiastic and large turnout of motorsports fans. The Continental Tire Monterey Grand Prix Powered by Mazda staged the contest in a split format: up first were the 10 Prototype Challenge and 22 GT Daytona cars for a two-hour run on the 11 turn, 2.23 mile track, after which the 12 Prototype and 11 GT Le Mans cars had their turn.
The Streets of San Jose may never be the same after drivers from the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship get their race cars into full gear as they do a few laps around Plaza de Cesar Chavez in the Mini Grand Prix of San Jose on Wednesday, April 30, 2014.
In honor of National Military Appreciation Month (May) Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca will be offering FREE general admission to all active military in uniform and veterans with military ID who attend the Continental Tire Monterey Grand Prix, powered by Mazda on Saturday May 3, 2014.
A beautiful 1934 Alfa Romeo Tipo B that Tazio Nuvolari won the 1935 German Grand Prix is racing this weekend. The car is spectacularly maintained and will be up against formidable competition in the pre-war group.
See this car at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion August 14-17.
Click HERE for tickets.
Whether it's the sight of rarely seen cars challenging the tricky Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca road course or the chances to meet legendary drivers, the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion is the place to be August 14, 15, 16 and 17.
In addition to visiting the Maserati heritage display that celebrates the automakers centennial, here's what's in store for visitors:
Italian Festival – Friday, August 15
The heart of historic downtown Monterey will be transformed into an outdoor motorsports museum when historic race cars line Alvarado Street between 5 and 7 p.m. on Friday, August 8 when Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca kicks of the 2014 Monterey Classic Car Week activities.
The official 100th anniversary celebration of Maserati shifts into high gear during the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca beginning Friday, August 15 with a tribute to Italy and continuing through Sunday, August 17.
Two of the arguably most iconic Maserati race cars ever constructed served as the inspiration for this year's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion poster art that was revealed today: The Maserati Tipo 61 and 250F Grand Prix car. Maserati is the featured marque of the historic motorsport gathering which will commemorate its centennial.
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca official artist Bill Patterson elegantly combined the two cars into one collage, which was not an easy feat, but he was able to capture their essence of grace, motion and, of course, speed.
Returning to their familiar home where they ran unbridled in the '60s and early '70s, thundering Can-Am cars will be a popular group this year at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Held August 14-17 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, the event is a collection of 550 authentic and period-correct race cars from nearly every decade of motorsports.

Julian Fellowes Says DOWNTON ABBEY S4 Picks Up 6 Months Later
DOWNTON ABBEY creator and forthcoming Romeo & Juliet film screenwriter Julian Fellowes has revealed much in a new interview with the New York Times - perhaps most importantly that the many of the events of "A Journey To Highclere", the Season 3 finale episode that aired stateside last night, were dictated by the neccessities of the departing cast.
Dan Stevens, recently on Broadway in THE HEIRESS co-starring Jessica Chastain, left the show at the end of the third season without allowing Fellowes and company the opportunity to craft a more acceptable exit for the beloved, central character on the series, Matthew Crawley, who acted as a lynchpin for much of the drama and romance.
SPOILER: Instead of a lovely send-off of some sort, Fellowes killed him off at the tail-end of the episode with a sudden bloody auto wreck coming quite out of the blue.
Fellowes says of the unpleasant writing challenge: "With Dan, I had hoped that we would have one episode of this fourth season that I'm writing now, so we could have ended the Christmas episode on a happy note - the baby, everything lovely. And then kill him in the first episode of the next series. But he didn't want to do that. I didn't want his death to dominate the Christmas special, so that's why we killed him at the very, very end."
Fellowes has made peace with the decision, ultimately, as he reveals the new season, Season Four - which will begin airing this Summer in the UK on ITV - will pick up several months later, on a totally fresh page.
Fellowes concludes, "In a way I think it works quite well because we begin Series 4 six months later. We don't have to do funerals and all that stuff. That's all in the past by then."
