I weight train 2 days a week for 45 minutes (total body) and swim 2 days a week for an hour with one 15 minute HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) set.
I eat very healthy, and my diet is composed of a lot of protein (45%), low healthy fats (30%), and very low carbs (25%, none of the bad ones). I also drink a lot of water and green tea.
I started out at 195 and got down to 176 and now back around 180. My body is more toned but I still have fat in my stomach area that I can't seem to shake and I don't feel like I'm making anymore progress.
I drank a lot in college and developed a slight beer belly, but it was never very large.
I am now at 10.8% body fat and most forums say I should be able to see my abs but I can't. I mean I can kind of see them barely if i look in the mirror at the right angle but that is it.
Please Help, I don't know what to do. Am i being impatient? I've been at this since September. Maybe I should take a fat burner?
Thanks in Advance.

Julen Lopetegui Argote (born 28 August 1966) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and a current manager.
Born in Asteasu, Gipuzkoa, Lopetegui started his professional career at local Real Sociedad, where he was barred by legendary Luis Arconada, deciding to accept the offer from Real Madrid, which immediately incorporated the 19-year old to its B team.
After one loan to UD Las Palmas, Lopetegui returned, but could never dislodge another veteran, Francisco Buyo, only managing one La Liga appearance during two seasons, a 3–3 draw at Atlético de Madrid, as Real was already crowned league champions. He subsequently signed with CD Logroñés, being instrumental as the modest Riojan outfit consistenly managed to retain its topflight status.
Lopetegui's stellar performances at Logroñés earned him his sole cap with Spain, replacing Andoni Zubizarreta for the final 30 minutes of a 0–2 friendly loss with Croatia, in Valencia, on March 23, 1994; he was subsequently picked for the squad at that year's FIFA World Cup.

I love how this smells it's a good scrub for combination skin types<3 I Bought this for my hormonal acne breakouts but it really didn't do anything but it did brighten my skin a lot. This can be drying and that's why you should pat your skin and leave it slightly damp then put your moisturizer on it works great!(;
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have bought this a few times over the years, but I won't be buying it again. I have oily skin but I found this too drying. I also had some dry skin because of a cold and I was using this as a scrub as an attempt to get rid of it. It didn't work at all. I like the scent though.
I used to have normal/combination, acne-prone skin. Emphasis on the "used to" because, after using this scrub, I've been having combination/dry, acne-prone skin. I definitely saw a difference after using this, but it wasn't the kind of difference that I was hoping for.
When I was using this, it didn't feel like it was doing anything wrong to my face, it just feel invigorating. The beads felt like they were scratching my skin, but I ignored that while scrubbing with it because I thought that was normal. It didn't foam as much I would have liked either; in fact, I would say that this didn't foam on me at all.
After I washed and dried it off, I noticed that my skin looked very greasy. It was also tender and soft to touch, but when I raised my eyebrows or smiled, my skin felt really tight. Ignoring that again, I went to bed. The next morning, I woke up with very dry skin, which has never happened to me before, EVER. I've always had normal/oily skin before this thing. I even had to buy a moisturizer because I didn't own one since I never had the need for one.
My skin is still trying to cope with the change, and now I'm too afraid to try anything from their pink grapefruit line.
i can see why alot of people have problems with this product as i can see if u have dry skin it would be a problem but i have quite oily skin and i am always much happier with a product that can help me reduce some of that oil and this definatley does that... i use it along with the cleanser and the 2 combined have definatley left my skin feeling alot firmer fresher and my pores have definatley been reduced... i love the smell and i can definatley see myself bying this product again... i kinda wish that the scrub was a bit more scrubby but i think for something u use daily its appropriate
I love this and any other products from Neutrogena (grapefruit), the smell is so invigorating that you feel as if you are really cleaning deeply. I never have any drying problems after I wash because I cleanse immediaely after and I only use this product at night. I figure I use this at night so my face is clean, no need to wash my face again in the morning. For that I just use witch hazel.

This product is seriously the absolute worst face product I've ever touched. I have oily skin, real oily skin, and this crap dried my face out SO BAD. My face was burning last night so i took all my makeup off and washed my face with this stuff, and it kept burning. Then I woke up this morning and washed my face again and my whole face burned and the skin all on my chin, around my mouth and up by my nose was inflamed painful and had tiny white bumps everywhere. No amount of moisturizer is helping either. I'm going home, throwing this out, and slathering my face in moisturizer and never EVER touching this again. No one should ever purchase it. Another friend of mine said it "destroyed my f****** skin". Horrible.
My friend uses this, she has mild acne. I used this when I was at her house one day, simply because I needed to remove my makeup and I forot my regular facial cleanser at home. Once I used this, my face burned and got all red and itchy. It was horrible. I do have sensitive skin, so please stay away if you do too.

I was amazed when I first tried this product! It's a great scrub, but it's still really gentle. I don't really like the smell though, it's kind of chemically.
More reviews by livcrawford1234
Ive been using this for a few days now, and to honest i found result straight away. I have acne prone skin with redness and blackheads, I've been using it morning and nice and washing it off with cold water to close my pores. Most of my spots on my forehead have disappeared but most of my acne is around my chin and cheek area but have dramatically gotten better. so please. I was previously using cetaphil oily skin cleanser.
The only downside is that it is expensive for me... BUT SMELLS AWESOME

CORPUS CHRISTI - The Robstown Cotton Pickers placed three players on the 2014 South Texas Pre-Season Small School All-Star Team announced Wednesday.
All 13 members will be recognized with their large school counterparts at the 10th South Texas Winter Baseball Banquet January 29 at the Solomon P. Ortiz Center.
The event is presented by the Corpus Christi Caller- Times and ClearChannel Media + Entertainment. Tickets are on sale at the Whataburger Field Box Office. To order by phone, call 361-561-HOOK (4665).
In canvassing of thirty-six area Class 3A, 2A, A and private-school coaches, the right side of Robstown's infield - senior first baseman Abe Rubio and senior second baseman Michael De Los Santos - was voted in, along with outfield classmate Chris Esquivel.
Robstown advanced to the Region 4-3A quarterfinals, falling in three games to Hidalgo and finishing 26-10 overall.
Sinton, 28-11-2 and Region 4-3A finalist a year ago, put senior pitcher Donnie Lopez and senior battery mate Tracker Conn on the honor squad. The Pirates fell to eventual state champion LaGrange in a one-game playoff. Lopez, who also plays shortstop, was District 30-3A Junior of the Year (.388/4/27; 6-3/2.15). The Texas Tech signee earned all-state mention.
As did Refugio teammates Travis Quintanilla (pitcher) and Tyler Castellano (outfielder), who led the Bobcats to a 26-5 mark and the Region 4-2A quarters, where they fell to Bishop. Quintanilla, two-time Associated Press Class 2A Offensive Player of the Year as Refugio's quarterback, seeks his second state football championship in three seasons Thursday when the Bobcats face Cisco at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
Quintanilla holds Texas schoolboy standards for career passing yards and TD passes. He was 12-1 as a junior and posted a 0.62 ERA with 141 strikeouts over 67 2/3 innings. Castellano hit .422.
De Los Santos, Lopez and Quintanilla are repeaters from last year's squad.
Senior pitchers Jacob Cantu (Freer) and Kyle Kieschnick (Bishop), sophomore third baseman Jake Mijares (Banquete), junior shortstop Elias Alaniz (Hebbronville), senior outfielder Jacob Gonzales (John Paul II) and senior designated hitter Johnny Zamudio (Rockport-Fulton) round out the team.

i'm learning, so starting with a swimsuit seemed like a great idea! seeing (and actually fitting into) the end product makes me happy to forget about all the 'learning' i did along the way :) i'm a little taller, so when the pattern didn't fit, I ended up with a suit that was equal parts improvisation, patience and determination!

wow—great job—i never would have guessed you were a beginner. I made a similar suit as your retro one, however I made up my own pattern—i am going to attempt again following the one you used! :) This fabric is adorable!

Extraordinary Conference Fails to Achieve Agreement on CFE Treaty Dispute
The Russian government warned that it might implement its threatened unilateral "moratorium" on observing its commitments under the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty after an extraordinary conference of the treaty signatories, held this past week in Vienna, failed to address Moscow's concerns. Russia called for the emergency meeting, the first in CFE history, after complaining for months about the stalemated status of the treaty's implementation.
Anatoly Antonov, the chief of the Russian Foreign Ministry's security and disarmament department and head of the Russian delegation to the conference, told the session that Russia remains committed to conventional arms control in Europe. Nevertheless, he argued that "Europe has changed, and this circumstance necessitates a modernization of the set of tools used to achieve these goals." ...

Hot Flash! Make your own Sriracha sauce to ka-pow your study efforts
Sriracha (SIR-rotch-ah) is a town om the Chonburi Province of Thailand and is well known locally for its chilli pastes. However, this famous sauce is manufactured in LA by Chinese born, Vietnamese grown, North American citizen, Mr Tran. Thanks to the diligent efforts of Elephant Journal an all natural version of Sriracha has been sourced (pun intended), Sriracha (Rooster) sauce recipe
Garlic has been found to improve learning in rats by enhancing attention:
- Repeated Administration of Fresh Garlic Increases Memory Retention in Rats
- Effects of raw garlic on physical performance and learning behaviour in rats
I was not able to find any empirical studies of the effects of garlic, chilli or spicy foods on attention, memory and learning in humans. But I am a believer ~:-) And at the very least, the boost to your metabolism and antibiotic effects will aid your health in general.
Do you study more effectivly after eating spicy foods?

San Francisco, CA – BlackBerry DEVCON 2010 – Onstage at the BlackBerry developer conference, DEVCON 2010, in San Francisco today, Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM, TSX: RIM) previewed BlackBerry® Enterprise Application Middleware – an innovative application development platform that will enable commercial enterprise and corporate developers to more easily build "super app" enterprise applications and services for BlackBerry® smartphones. IBM Interactive and customer ING DIRECT, Oracle, and SAP joined RIM on-stage at the conference today to present their plans to enable "super app" development solutions and services using the new platform.
BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware will include a set of application programming interfaces (APIs), libraries and server software that will make it easier for developers to build "super apps" that can access instant data push and alerts, use efficient file transfers with enterprise applications, and make it easy to query a user's device for geo-location, presence, current camera image, calendar availability, device type, and much more. It will be possible to use it with popular application development platforms such as IBM WebSphere, Oracle Fusion Middleware and the mobility platform from SAP and Sybase, and can be integrated with these platforms to give access to developers.
These capabilities are combined with the advantages of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution offering real-time communication via true push technology, cost-effective data usage, efficiency over carrier networks, easy web-based administration of smartphones, servers, users, groups and applications, single sign-on, and secure wireless access to enterprise systems.
"BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware will make it easier to build essential enterprise functions in BlackBerry smartphone applications that are currently not available or easily built on any other mobile platform," said Alan Brenner, Senior Vice President at Research In Motion. "It also presents new opportunities for innovation in enterprise application development by our strategic alliance partners, enterprise customers, systems integrators and independent software vendor community."
IBM Interactive, Oracle and SAP are currently using BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware in early trials.
IBM Interactive, which specializes in providing clients with a unique think-tank environment to collaboratively work with user experience, industry and technology experts to plan, develop and launch mobile, next-generation business solutions, is utilizing the features of BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware together with IBM WebSphere to help develop a business-to-consumer application with ING DIRECT.
"The use of mobile technologies has become second nature across both the consumer and the enterprise landscape," says Kelly Chambliss, IBM's Application Innovation Services Leader for North America. "By extending the reach of information and transactions via mobile devices, we are helping our clients tap into new opportunities to both differentiate the customer experience and transform the workforce. BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware allows us to take advantage of our deep mobile expertise to help our clients realize the power of an interconnected planet."
"ING DIRECT Canada has a suite of secure, simple and highly functional mobile applications and we are excited about extending this functionality using the new BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware technology," said Charaka Kithulegoda, Chief Information Officer at ING DIRECT Canada.
"BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware provides us with a platform to offer our Clients a richer and more innovative experience when using our mobile banking applications for BlackBerry smartphones. We're pleased that we can utilize BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware to offer our Clients some of the robust and integrated features that they are accustomed to with the native BlackBerry applications. The use of features like push notifications – for a subscribed alerting service – engages the Client by capturing their attention at the right time. Alerts can provide important information to the Client and provides ING DIRECT Canada with a just-in-time messaging platform."
Oracle is integrating BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware into Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) to enable Oracle developers to build innovative enterprise applications that can communicate with their BlackBerry workforce using development tools that they are already familiar with.
"Together, Oracle Application Development Framework and the new BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware libraries allow developers to enrich their enterprise applications without having to be a BlackBerry or mobile expert," said Oracle's Chief Architect and senior vice president, Ted Farrell. "This enables Oracle customers to communicate, gather information and make business decisions quicker and easier than ever before."
SAP continues to co-innovate with RIM to offer new opportunities to extend the reach of SAP Business Suite on BlackBerry smartphones. Through close integration of BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware with the mobility platform from SAP and Sybase, partners and customers will be able to quickly build mobile applications that connect business data to their workers on BlackBerry smartphones.
"We see ever-increasing demand for mobile applications that allow users real-time visibility into their businesses," said Kevin Nix, senior vice president, Enterprise Mobility, SAP AG. "With the combination of SAP applications and our mobility platform, together with BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware, we will simplify the application development process and increase the diversity and availability of SAP mobile applications for BlackBerry smartphones to help customers unwire their enterprise."
RIM will be previewing the first BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware libraries — Alert/Notifications Push, Files Transfer, and Device Information to Server App – at BlackBerry DEVCON this week.
Alerts/Notifications Push Library – Enables developers to build secure instant delivery of data between back-end enterprise systems and BlackBerry smartphones in under a hundred lines of code. Data can be pushed to an application on the device or directly to the BlackBerry inbox, calendar or tasks via personal identification number (PIN), email or phone number. This library is ideal for simplifying the delivery of enterprise work flow to BlackBerry smartphones for immediate response by mobile workers rather than waiting for them to get back to their desk to respond. Use cases include a travel request sent to a manager's BlackBerry smartphone for approval; a patient status update sent to a doctor or nurse; product price change requests sent in by a salesperson; an alert to an executive about a decrease in revenues/margins as the information becomes available; or a system alert sent to an IT manager. It can also be used to add new service features to business-to-consumer applications, such as mobile banking applications. Data input to the application on a BlackBerry smartphone is securely transferred or reconciled with back-end systems.
File Transfer Library – Enables developers to build applications with fast and efficient large file transfers between back-end systems and BlackBerry smartphones, and all in under a hundred lines of code. Data can be programmed to be viewed only, downloaded, uploaded or saved to device memory or a media card on a BlackBerry smartphone. The complexities of efficient wireless data transmission are automated and kept transparent to developers so that they can focus on application logic. For example, a medical records application can attach image files to a patient's medical record, with the option to open or preview the record, or view the list of available images before it is downloaded to the BlackBerry smartphone.
Device Information to Server App Library – Enables querying of a device by back-end enterprise systems that can be built into a mobile application in under a hundred lines of code. Examples of data that can be queried include geo-location, presence, current camera image, calendar availability, device type, and much more. For example, an enterprise system can scan the status of a technician's BlackBerry smartphone to find the technician closest to respond to a customer's urgent request. This is an ideal function to build into applications that involve time-sensitive workflows requiring rapid response, including logistics and dispatch systems.
The initial set of BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware libraries are expected to be available in closed beta later this year. Additional libraries are expected to be released in 2011.

The Linden Method has been featured on...
|Welcome to Trichotillomania-Treatment.com, a site aimed at helping you treat your compulsive hair pulling disorder.
Most people believe there are four options when treating Trichotillomania, they are;
But we believe there is a 5th...
Although all of these methods can work, The Linden Method is quickly becoming the new standard in treating OCD related conditions, including trichotillomania. The method, which has now been recognised by the medical and psychological community, boasts some impressive statistics, facts and results. These include:
But all of this is stated on their website. The simple fact is – The Linden Method works. As long as you follow the instructions. The 3% of people who do not succeed with this treatment "Just don't do it right", says Charles Linden, the creator of the method. Charles is now recognised world wide for his work curing OCD related conditions, and has been featured in many publications and television programs, including his own series – Stress less.
So are there any down sides to this trichotillomania treatment? Well, like I said, you do need to follow the instructions EXACTLY. And you do need a bit of dedication. But for something that's guaranteed to work, why not? But not only is the method guaranteed, for most people it works in under 30 days.
I should mention here that The Linden Method Website barely mentions trichotillomania, but it DOES work for compulsive hair pullers just as well as it works for any other compulsive condition, phobia or anxiety. So please don't be put off by the fact that there's only a small mention of this condition, and remember the treatment has a 100% money back guarantee if your still not sure.
website in the list of conditions that The Linden Method is used for)
All in all I think The Linden Method is the best available Trichotillomania Treatment available and is well worth taking a look at.

'Legend Of Korra' Season 2 Release Date Confirmed: Canada YTV Network Spills Details On When To Expect Book 2 [REPORT]
We're finally getting closer to learning the "Legend Of Korra" season 2 release date. Everyone's favorite water-bending Avatar wowed many of us, proving that a follow-up to "Last Airbender" could indeed be just as good, if not better, than the original series. According to Canadian TV network YTV, via Hypable, the "Legend Of Korra" season 2 release date should land sometime during fall 2013. The press release makes it clear these won't just be re-runs of episodes we've seen (multiple times, if you're anything like me). With the "Legend Of Korra" season 2 release date occurring in the fall in Canada, one can likely assume it should hit the United States around the same time.
In describing their fall-lineup, YTV provided a listing of shows to be part of their programming:
"The network will also roll out new episodes of returning hit series Big Time Rush, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, BEYBLADE, SpongeBob SquarePants, Monsters vs. Aliens, Kung Fu Panda, Legend of Korra, T.U.F.F. Puppy and The Fairly OddParents."
While it's likely the "Legend Of Korra" season 2 release date will be different for all countries, there's a strong possibility the US could receive the series this autumn, if not sooner.
With -- spoiler, I repeat, spoiler -- the threat of Amon gone (temporarily?), our Avatar has moved on to dealing with more supernatural threats. According to a sneak peak at book 2, it seems spirits will be Avatar Korra's greatest enemy this go round. In the clip, we see our Avatar and her former teammate/possibly current boyfriend Mako, tossing the elements at the baddies in an arctic environment. While the show's creators make no mention of where exactly the two are, maybe they're at Amon and Tarrlok's old stomping grounds, where the brothers grew up. We can only speculate until the "Legend Of Korra" season 2 release date.
In addition to a preview clip of the upcoming book 2, we've also seen the release of a "Legend Of Korra" soundtrack leak. The song "Republic City Under Attack" was found prior to the official release of the album of original music from book one. We can't be sure whether the soundtrack will come out prior to the "Legend Of Korra" season 2 release date, though the two may be made available around the same time.
Regardless of when the second of book of benders decides to come out, it's clear that there will be a large fan-base ready to consume as much Korra as possible. While last summer's finale, in our opinion, was satisfying, craving more is only natural and we literally won't do anything else until the "Legend Of Korra" season 2 release date is upon us! Actually, we take it back, that's kind of aggressive.
Are you looking forward to the "Legend Of Korra" season 2 release date? Let us know in the comments!

Our Krew have been sifted out from many people, through our many processes to get only the best people to tattoo at Unique Tattoos. As well as being trained as a very great tattoo artist they have to be very caring personalities & considerate dispositions too to make the grade and work at Unique.
The Artists are taught and expected to do every style of tattooing. They have to be allrounders to work at Unique. Everyone in our industry knows if an artist has been fully Trained by Mike E they are of a very high calibre if they got through Unique's extensive intense training. (How they are if they leave our studio obviously we can't anymore be guaranteed by us of their quality if not in our Studio). At Unique Mike E oversees everything… designs quality workmanship etc… & it's of the clients best interests to have an Owner/Artist overseeing that has loads of experience & is a very considerate caring person himself, that knows quality, technique & tattooing and quality artwork inside out.

He has been tattooing for over 28 years & teaching tattooing in his quality technique for over 20 years.
At Unique Tattoos we believe in treating all people equally. We do not like big narcissistic big headed personalities working at Unique. So our Krew have got to have same beliefs as Unique Tattoos in how to treat people.

Mike E Principal Artist is Maori. He does all styles of tattooing. He is considered by many as a Tohunga (special person chosen by his Ancestors) of Ta Moko (tattooing). Not that he goes around saying that because he is very modest quiet doesn't like to brag & like he says "he got to work at his art its not just magic that happens". So even tho he does acknowledge that he has been given a gift he still has to work hard. Mike E got a special visa to work in USA few years ago because he was recognised as a recognised significant cultural artist by academics and authorities knowledgable in the field of Art and Polynesian & Maori cultures. These are very hard to obtain. Mike has been living in Perth Western Australia for the last 20years. He says WA is "land of milk & honey" and loves the relaxed lifestyle here. Mike E says girls that live in Perth prettiest in the world! Plus maybe he gotta say that!! ha ha bcos …he met & married Jen, Scarborough local, 18 years ago. Its a good blend of two cultures. Jen has been working by his side for 17 years. Jen doesn't tattoo but has been running studio at Reception for 17 years.
I hope you have got a bit of an insight of our philosophies and business idealogy with our Unique Tattoos Bio. We can assure you always quality tattooing and always being treated politely & respectfully (as long as we treated the same). Hopefully we will see you soon at Unique Tattoos in Subiaco Western Australia!

Four segments of the Trinity River to be discussed
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has scheduled a meeting to update the public on the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads addressing Polychlorinated Biphenyls in the Trinity River watershed. The goal of the TMDL is to restore the fish consumption use in four segments of the Trinity River located in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
PCB impairments that were listed on the 2002 303(d) list as a result of a fish consumption advisory and an aquatic life closure issued by the Texas Department of State Health Services in 2002. There is a fish possession ban and fish consumption advisory issued by the TDSHS for portions of the Trinity. The impaired areas include:
• Lower one mile of Clear Fork Trinity River Below Lake Benbrook-Segment 0829
• Lower 22 miles of West Fork Trinity River Below Lake Worth-Segment-0806
• Lower West Fork Trinity River-Segment 0841
• Upper Trinity River-Segment 0805
The meeting will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 3, from 1 –3 p.m. at the North Central Texas Council of Governments, Centerpoint II (Tom Vandergriff Conference Center), Regional Forum Room, First Floor, 616 Six Flags Drive in Arlington. The public is encouraged to come and learn more about the TMDL process and efforts to restore water quality to West Fork Trinity, Clear Fork Trinity, and the Upper Trinity River. The agenda will include a discussion of the draft TMDL PCB allocations provided in the contractor's final technical report received by the TCEQ in November.

Kindertransport was an operation to save Jewish children from Germany and occupied countries in 1938 and 1939. Almost 10,000 children were transported to the UK through this program. I am looking for details on one such child, Anneliese Morgenthau, who was born in Wiesbaden, Germany, in 1927. While I have found a web site dedicated to this operation, it does not seem to have any information on specific children rescued. Does such a list exist, and, if so, can it be searched online?

Jodie Foster might have been awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 70th Golden Globe Awards for her contributions to film, but her acceptance speech was about anything but. After making a funny Saturday Night Live reference, the 50-year-old actress went into a lengthy discussion about the need for actors like herself to have privacy -- and officially came out.
"I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago in the Stone Age," Foster says in her speech. "Back in the days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family and coworkers and then gradually proudly to everyone who knew her, to everyone she actually met. But now apparently every celebrity is expected to expose the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a primetime reality show." Watch the entire speech here:
Her five-minute-long acceptance brought many in the audience to tears, including Marion Cotillard and Anne Hathaway. Foster says she's not one to want to air her private life publicly in something like a reality show because, "if you had been a public figure from the time that you were a toddler, if you had had to fight for a life that felt real, and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe then you too would value privacy above all else."
"I have given everything up there from the time that I was three years old. That's a reality show enough, don't you think?" Foster says.
She adds that one of the keys to making herself sane is keeping herself surrounded by those who she loves, including all the "unfamous faces" in her life, her ailing mother and her friend and costar Mel Gibson. Foster also acknowledges her ex, Cydney Bernard.
"There is no way I could ever stand here without acknowledging one of the deepest loves of my life, my heroic co-parent, my ex-partner in love but righteous soul-sister in life, my confessor, ski buddy, conciliere, and BFF of 20 years, Cydney Bernard," Foster says. "Thank you, Cyd. I am so proud of our modern family, our amazing sons, Charlie and Kit, who are my reason to breathe and to evolve, my blood and soul. And boys, in case you didn't know it, this song, like all of this, this song is for you."
Foster concludes, "From now on, I may just be holding a different talking stick. Maybe it won't be as sparkly. Maybe it won't open on 3,000 screens. Maybe it will be so quiet and delicate that only dogs can hear it whistle, but it will be my writing on the wall: Jodie Foster was here, I still am, and I want to be seen, to be understood completely, and to be not so very lonely. Thank you, all of you, for the company. Here's to the next 50 years." Some took these statements to mean Foster is retiring, but that remains to be seen.
Though Foster openly discussed her homosexuality at the Globes, it's not the first time she's done so. In 2007, she referred to "my beautiful Cydney" at The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment breakfast. "[She] sticks with me through all the rotten and the bliss," Foster said at the time. Beyond that, she had never confirmed their relationship, though Foster and Bernard had been frequently seen out in public and were known to be raising Foster's sons, Charles and Christopher.

What is the best treatment for a summer cold in a person with mitral valve prolapse?
- Q: My boyfriend has a cold and his nose is stuffy, and he has mitral valve prolapse. What can he take for his stuffiness? He has a summer cold.
- A: The choice of the right cold medicine can be complicated. A good approach is to treat the symptoms you are experiencing and not take an "all-in-one" product. This can cut down on unwanted side effects from medicines included in the product that you may not need. Symptoms of nasal (nose) or sinus congestion or stuffiness is best relieved by decongestants (like pseudoephedrine) that can help open breathing passages. However, decongestants can have side effects, such as jitteriness, that some people don't like. These medications can also be dangerous in people with certain medical conditions, including hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart problems. Consult your doctor before taking decongestants if you have any chronic medical conditions. Antihistamines, like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can help ease cold symptoms such as watery eyes and runny noses. Analgesics, including Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Motrin or Advil (ibuprofen), are used to manage the aches and pains that sometimes accompany colds. Coughs can be treated differently depending on their characteristics. A dry, non-productive (meaning no mucus is produced with the cough) cough can be eased with a cough suppressant, such as dextromethorphan. However, productive or wet coughs will benefit more from an expectorant like guaifenesin. Always read and follow the complete directions and warnings on over-the-counter medicines and discuss their use with your healthcare provider before taking them. Your doctor or healthcare provider is best able to guide your treatment decisions based on your specific circumstances. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or local pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Sarah Lewis, RPh

My first vehicle being a Jeep Wrangler, The first time I got on my 250 Ninja I could not believe how fast the thing was for such a small bike. I had topped 100mph on the speedo and could pull away from a red light at least 3x faster than my Jeep could.
Then I brought home a Bandit 1200 and relived that experience again

For you bike snobs
Dual sports are boring if you don't want one.
Cruisers are dull if you don't want one.
Sport bikes are dull if you don't want one.
Dirt bikes are dull if you don't want one.
Scooters are dull if you don't want one.
And,People who complain about bikes they don't want anyway are really really really dull!!!
Motorcyclists are people who ride what they want and enjoy. I prefer to ride with the motorcyclists, they are much more fun.
Btw, computerized vehicles dull? The other day while pondering guitar amps that can sound like multiple cool old amps from the sixties and seventies, I realized we could do that with cars and bikes!! With computer controled; engines, transmissions, and suspension, you will be able to select an old exciting car or bike from the touch screen menu and wow! you can have your car or bike handling like an "exciting" vehicle!! Want to experience a 59 Chevy Impala on your trip around Road America race track, just select it. Get the body roll and thrill of an almost roll over. Ever wondered about a MG Midget, what were they like? Just select that option and get it's go kart handling! Want your Ducati to run like an old Sportster? Yep make that menu selection and hook up the optional virtual kickstart lever with USB connection and you will have to jump on the lever at least fifty times before your Ducati starts, just like a wonderful exciting Sportster with magneto ignition, and the lever will be programed to randomly toss you in the air or brake your leg. I can't wait!!

I find it odd that Honda asked on their FB for people's opinions of their latest offerings, and now done have their knickers in a twist when everyone doesn't agree that this the second coming of the bike of the century... I love Hondas, just not this Honda.

I'm not really crazy about any new bike except Harleys, they have what I want in a motorcycle. But alas, I cannot afford one. I may very well get a used pre FI Sportster to have fun on. You can get them cheap on Craigslist. Sport bikes, or anything with a sport bike riding position I want no part of. I recently sold one, an '09 Ninja 500. Nothing wrong with it, I bought it new. But I could not ride it without a lot of pain. So that type of bike is out for me.
This new CTX is NOT going to be fun just to ride on short trips. What it is going to be is a comfortable reliable way to TRAVEL on 2 wheels, and that is exactly what I'm looking for. A mini Goldwing. A cruiser that doesn't look like a cruiser. My plan is to get one of these, the naked model with a manual transmission and no ABS, sell the Goldwing, go ahead and wear the Vulcan 750 out (77,000 miles already) and get rid of it, and this will be my only road bike. I still have a custom built (lots of goodies) XT225 for off road use, and will ride that as long as I can. A brand new Honda, ridden conservatively and properly maintained, should last me the rest of my riding life. And yes, at my age and in my condition, I ride conservatively. I will also have the Sportster and my old cars to tinker with and work on, and enjoy riding/driving around locally. One of my hobbies is VINTAGE cars and bikes. No, that is not for everybody, but it IS for me.
If you do not like this bike, go find a thread for a bike you do like.

I think you have to take the info on cycle-ergo a guideline, not as fact. I have a 28" inseam and it says the CTX won't work for me. I checked various bikes and found a Honda Shadow Sabre was close to the peg position on the CTX. It says the Sabre won't work for me. A local dealer has a used one and I tried it out Saturday. It was fine at 159 degrees. Being that the CTX on cycle-ergo shows the CTX has having 152 degree bend, it should work for me.
I have had everything from a 100cc enduro, V-strom, Burgman, HD EG Classic and a Goldwing 1800. Two of my favorites were the Burgman and Goldwing and this bike combines a little of each. I like it.

seat height
The seat height on my Dyna Custom is under 28" and it has mids, that haven't scraped yet, not for lack of trying. Riding a Dyna with forwards kills my lower back, but the mids are great. The best seating ergos I've had in a long time was an 09 KLR650. Felt like dirt bikes of the early 70s, that allowed for the rider to move around on the seat and pegs freely.
The biggest problem with forwards and a low cupped seat arrangement is a single seating position, with no room to stretch out or change positions, taking the weight off the butt for a while. Been there, done that, and not ready to go back... tp.

Thank you.
I started this thread because:
1) My lifelong love of Hondas (hence my screen name)
2) An excitement of new affordable product in the marketplace
3) Hoping to enjoy some rousing and possible insightful conversation about the possibility's these bikes hold
But instead, almost all that's been shared here is hate of something that very few have even sat on and no one has ridden.
Now, I've been doing forums long enough to understand differences of opinion will always show up (hell, that's half the fun), but this level of bashing is a shocker. Do the haters here also walk into car dealerships and tell total strangers how stupid they were for buying this particular brand? Or maybe hang out in Best Buys on the weekend and scream at customers in the television department? I bet some here love cruising the Android forums and posting in all caps "APPLE RULES!!!"
And for what...forward controls? Pulled back handlebars? Really?!?!?! Honda should immediately shut down their entire worldwide motorcycle manufacturing because "they've completely lost it!" All due to the decision(s) made on this one line of bikes? Sounds pretty ignorant to me.
I personally welcome anything that may bring new people into this hobby I love so much. I see dealerships closing their doors around me left and right. The American market is nothing but shrinkage for most (large) manufacturers. We've become such a small slice of the pie, that we rarely get any of the cool new models.
Maybe these new bikes will attract some new blood, or maybe they won't. But at least Honda is trying. It's taken almost 3 yrs to get the CB1100, but at least Honda is giving us a shot.
All I'm saying is maybe don't be so close minded. Instead of bashing a bike that wasn't necessarily built with only your likes/needs in mind, look at it as a possibility for more $$$ in the coffers for R&D on something that is built for your tastes.

HondaFanatic, everything you say makes sense, and yet, there is something about this CTX700 that really raises my hackles. It is irrational, I know, but it's comforting to know that it's not just me. Somehow, this bike succeeds in threatening many of us who dislike it intensely.
For the record, I was okay with the NC700X, the NT700V, the old Pacific Coast, the VFR1200, and even the DN-01 (it honestly admitted that it was a glorified scooter). I like experimentation! But this bike, this CTX700, I am sorry, but it comes off as a poser of a bike, like it doesn't know what it is, like it's dressed as a woman, but it's actually a man, or something like that. Words fail me.
If I were a police officer, I would arrest the CTX700 for being an imposter. An imposter of what? Of its very own self! Man or machine, you have to proudly be what you are, and that may be where the CTX700 is coming up short for me.
My negative feelings for this abomination of a bike might be primarily due to its visual effect, which somehow succeeds in bringing all the various things that disgust me into one bike, with that exhaust being the absolute worst I've ever seen. Surely, some Honda engineers are sitting around drinking beer and smoking cigarettes and laughing: "Ha. Ha. Our marketing department sucks. We were trying to play a practical joke on them by designing the most offensive-looking bike we could imagine--but the crazy bastards actually liked it!!!"
Disclaimer: I like the 700-series engine. I like the fuel economy. I think this engine represents a good, bold idea.

The NC is a perfect sample where new technologies combined would optimize on riding fun, which is not obvious
just looking at the data sheets. But it works out. I would not argue about soul or a strange need for outdated technology. It is perfect how they did it. One could not do any better.
But those new cuisers are a step back with respect to technology. Honda obviously tries to get out money from the new mid class engines without bringing anything new. But: more weight, less features, yesterdays styling.
I am not saying this is a bad motorcycle for those who like that bold oldstyle stuff. Probably a lot of people, do not know. The image above with the red harley on top of the red Honda makes it clear: I would certainly prefer the Honda by far, not only due to the great NC700 engine, should I _ever_ spend a single thought on riding that kind of bike. Which is unlikely. But who knows.
But I refuse to bring this in line with the current NC700 series, although utilizing same engine technology. Maybe the NC series and the CTX series need to be discussed strictly separate. It may be my fault that I mix them up under the impression, people here see it as one kind of bike.
I also regret Honda did not go on with the great idea of bringing an engine like the NC700 and the DCT system to
an even more fun level. I realize the NC700X with its 228kg of weight (DCT version, 218kg without) is the top end of it,
obviously and everything else coming will be even heavier, bulkier, retro style, whatever. This was my first disappointment about the CTX series. Mistaken expectations.
However, those who like that heavy cruiser style for whatever reason will for sure get a very good bike. That is no question to me.

And the only people "duller" than people who express their opinions about a motorcycle are the people who harp on people expressing their opinions.
I hope Honda has identified a niche to bring new riders into the fold, I really do, but I just don't get this bike and I don't think "new" riders will either.

BNA - For Australian and visiting cyclists from Road to MTB, to Track to Freestyle

Sorry to become a serial pest but yet another question -
have struggled to get confident on clipless but last two rides felt almost competent! BUT I clip out right foot first and clip in left to take off again- its a big no-no according to everything I've read - I understand why - keep away from the chain and lean away from the road but I have tried and tried to do it the right way and I get in a mess - with the right foot so far no problems.
Is this something that I should worry about - will it mark me out forever as an old dork - 'pretending' to ride a bike! or can I keep going right foot first and just be careful of traffic.
Its all very well to be a 52 year old slow coach but somethings should NOT be done - is this one of them??
Thanks again for any help.
Re: NEWBIE CLIPLESS ADVICE PLEASE
No, clip in and out with whichever foot is comfortable for you. There is no right or wrong side.

Re: NEWBIE CLIPLESS ADVICE PLEASE
Just clip in which ever way works for you.
As long as you unclip before stopping , that's the most important thing, as to how you take off, if you have a way you are comfortable with just keep doing it.
Just enjoy your riding.
Re: NEWBIE CLIPLESS ADVICE PLEASE
I'm gonna clip this out and frame it for the wall of the poolroom, best clipless advice ever!
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: NEWBIE CLIPLESS ADVICE PLEASE
there isn't a right or wrong way to unclip and take off. Do it however you feel its comfortable.
This isn't the pro peleton, no one cares if you do it their way or not. And if they criticise you, blow 'em a kiss and tell 'em to shove it up their arse.
keep riding!
Re: NEWBIE CLIPLESS ADVICE PLEASE
Never heard about a right or wrong way to clip in or out. Honestly some people think way too much about this cycling gaff. Don't take their advice just keep practicing. It's just riding a bike It's not rocket surgery.
Re: NEWBIE CLIPLESS ADVICE PLEASE
Have your dominant power leg clipped in when you take off, you've already discovered your dominant leg because that's the one that feels right when you exert power on it. If in your case, if that's the right leg then do it that way, cycling can be very easy (like golf) & if you do what naturally works for you body then you'll be better (or get better quicker) at it.
Remember that not everybodies body mechanics are the same, in fact people are usually slightly different, that's what makes us individuals, what's right for someone else is probably not right for you. Look at any/all of the pros on the pro-tour circuit, they all cycle a little bit differently (golfers are the same, swing mechanics I mean, not pedaling action), it's the way their bone structure is, their muscle mass & fast/slow twitch muscle program, stature, body shape, proportion, etc., as you can see their are many variables, there is no 'right' or 'wrong' just what is the most efficient way for each person.
(OH, In my opinion).
Re: NEWBIE CLIPLESS ADVICE PLEASE
Just use clips and straps I still do, never had a problem yet in 26 years works fine for me. I don't care what people think. But then again all my bikes are steel. I spose old school pedals and straps would look stupid on a carbon bike. Maybe I should just shut up.

Re: NEWBIE CLIPLESS ADVICE PLEASE
there was a thread a while back talking about right and wrong legs. many unclip the left foot and for me its because on a moto, the right foot is used to operate the rear brake while stationary. however there is no right or wrong answer, its whatever is comfortable for you.
the best advice I can offer is to take your bike somewhere where you can support yourself both sides, say with two chairs either side. one side at a time, clip in and clip out with your foot at least 100 times, then change feet, rinse and repeat. if necessary, do it again each side. this will do two things for you. it will importantly develop muscle memory in your legs so that clipping in/out becomes more natural. secondly it will remove any manufacturing burrs from your cleats/pedals that may be hindering your foot action while you are learning.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: NEWBIE CLIPLESS ADVICE PLEASE
I'm not sure if I'm reading this right, especially as no one else has asked the question, but, are you unclipping both feet when stopping? When I come to a stop, I clip out my right foot and balance on my right foot with my left foot still clipped in.
Bonus for me when I started riding, a work colleague lent me her wind trainer to practice clipping in and out with. First night I spent a half an hour doing this, and then out in the back streets at about 1am.
Re: NEWBIE CLIPLESS ADVICE PLEASE
Don't worry about which foot you use. I also have heard similar advice about being able to put your left foot on gutter etc when stopped at lights, leaning away from cars etc (shouldn't be THAT close) but i'm with you - also put my right foot down first (unclip) and left foot in first. Figured out might have something to do with the amount of rotation in my left hip but i don't worry about it now. just feels a bit wierd at lights when everyone else is leaning the wrong way
Re: NEWBIE CLIPLESS ADVICE PLEASE
Thank you everyone
Awesome advice from you all - I agree that sometimes it can all get a bit too serious ( I am gulity of this big time) and lets face it at 52 I'm not going to the Olympics!!
Rode in traffic today, 30 kms - no problems with the clipless - did a steep hill (only short) and did not fall over and stopped without any issues - even taking off again I usually (!) found the second pedal pretty quickly - basically stopped stressing about it and just enjoyed the ride.
Tomorrow the redland bay ride - only the 50km but will do it clipless, will take my time, give everyone else plenty of space (for both our sakes)
Interesting lesson from youngest daughter (17)- got her first road bike last saturday - first ride last night - (she's at boarding school) - no one had told her that clipless were hard and that riding on the drops was tricky so she went out today and just did 30 km no worries.....
when I told her how impressed I was cos it was all so hard she laughed and said that no-one had told her and told me to stop reading the books - 'they were doing my head in' mmmmm.
So from now on I will try to relax and enjoy it - but reserve the right the keep asking pesky questions - thanks again Fiona
Re: NEWBIE CLIPLESS ADVICE PLEASE
Well done grashoppah, you have discovered enlightenment
Don't think, don't look, just relax and let your foot flow into engagement. Become one with the bicycle.

Computer-Aided Engineering in Linux
Engineers are some of the heaviest number-crunchers around. If you are a grad student, post doc or undergrad, you usually get whatever is lying around as your work machine. Also, depending on how inflexible your local IT department is, you may be forced to use one of the commercial operating systems around these days. What are lowly students to do when they need to do heavy computational work? You may be interested in looking at CAELinux (Computer Assisted Engineering). This project provides a live CD that gives you all the open-source tools you might need for your engineering work. And, because it is a live CD, you can use it without touching the local drive of the machine you are using.
Like all live CDs, it has all the standard Linux desktop tools you should be familiar with, including Firefox for Web browsing, Evolution for e-mail, and OpenOffice.org for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. Along with these applications, there are dozens of others to help with all your number-crunching work. The most recent versions are based on Ubuntu, so it should be a fairly comfortable environment for most people. Be aware, however, that you can't use the usual software update mechanism in Ubuntu. Many of the packages in CAELinux are compiled from source and optimized, so you don't want them being overwritten accidentally by any packages provided by Ubuntu.
Welcome to CAELinux
A really well written introduction to CAELinux is available right on the desktop, called "Getting Started". You should start here if this is your first step into the world of CAELinux.
Getting Started
Last month, I looked at OpenFOAM in this space. CAELinux includes a full install of OpenFOAM. It also includes another fluid dynamics program called SALOME. This program provides a full graphical interface that takes you from forming your problem, to modeling, to calculation and through to analyzing your results. This might be a good choice for those who are more comfortable with a GUI. A series of examples on the desktop are available that provide a walk-through of the program, showing each of the steps as you go through.
CAELinux Tutorials
As you can see, the tutorials walk through several common simulations, like modeling flow through a pipe. These can provide great starting points for many people.
If your work leans more toward data analysis, several popular packages are available. For all of you Matlab addicts, there is Scilab. Scilab provides the same types of functions in an environment familiar to Matlab users. There also is Maxima, which provides tools more from a mathematical background (for example, analyzing functions and doing calculus), as compared to Scilab's approach of working from a matrix background (such as looking at data analysis). Maxima has several front ends available. The default one in CAELinux is wxMaxima. If you are doing really heavy statistical analysis, there is R. The real power of R is the CRAN repository, and a fair amount is available out of the box. R also has several graphical front ends. CAELinux provides two: R Commander and RKWard. If you are doing work more along the lines of pure mathematical analysis, there also is Octave. The default GUI available within CAELinux is QtOctave. In all of these cases, text-based interfaces also are available, if you are an old-style computer user who prefers that kind of thing.
Several software packages exist for applications other than CFD or statistics. If you need to do finite element analysis, there's elmer. It provides both a text-based and GUI interface. There also is JavaFoil, available for doing analysis on airfoils and wings. If you are designing electrical circuits, two packages are available. Electric is a CAD program that helps you lay out a circuit. And, once it is all laid out, you can use PCB Designer to get it set up so you can etch a board to make it real.
This is all fine and good if you can use a standard toolset in your work. But, what if you need computing power for really cutting-edge research? CAELinux provides the entire GNU toolset. This means you have everything you need to go ahead and start developing your own code. All of the most common scientific and engineering libraries, like gsl and LAPACK, are available. If you are working on really large problems, MPI and openMP also are available. This way, you can develop a parallel programming solution if that is what your problem needs.
Once you have finished all your calculations, an important part of data analysis is graphical analysis. There is something visceral and instinctive about actually seeing your data represented. To this end, CAELinux provides several packages. If you simply want to plot your data, you can use programs like grace and LabPlot. If you want to do more complicated data analysis, you have programs like G3Data and OpenDX Data Explorer. These programs have lots of functionality that can be used to look at your data graphically. If you are doing CFD work, several programs for visualizing your meshes are available. So, you have your choice based on what features you need.
The last option to look at this month is using CAELinux in "the cloud". Cloud computing is one of those sexy terms that gets used a lot in marketing, but it sometimes doesn't really give you anything useful. In this case, there really is something substantial being offered. CAELinux now can be run as an application under Amazon Elastic Cloud Computing. You can now run, on demand, as many nodes as you like, each having eight cores and 64GB of RAM. For people who don't have the resources to run their own clusters, but need more than what a desktop can handle, this can be a very attractive choice. It definitely is worth looking into as a possible option. You can find more information about EC2 at http://aws.amazon.com/ec2, and the CAELinux Web site has a very good set of instructions to get you up and running.
As you can see, CAELinux provides a lot of power and functionality for doing computational science. Because it is a live CD, you can run it on essentially any 64-bit machine without touching the hard drive. But, you also have the option of installing it on the machine if you are allowed. Download an ISO and start playing with it to see just how much work you can do with it.
Joey Bernard has a background in both physics and computer science. This serves him well in his day job as a computational research consultant at the University of New Brunswick. He also teaches computational physics and parallel programming.

Great Package
I use the package on my main desktop. I've used Salome FEA package with Aster from this for several years. It's a good setup. Even if you just run from the LiveDVD in another workstation.
Aren't they setting
Aren't they setting themselves up for copyright lawsuits by re-using the Ubuntu branding?
Incredibly CAELinux does not include Sage Math (http://www.sagemath.org/) the greatest mathematics software I have put my hands on.
For serious Mathematics and Engineering please take a look. The way I see it one of the best Open Source projects out there.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Food Allergy Or Food Intolerance?2
A food allergy is an immune system response and a food intolerance is a digestive system response. Does a certain food give you a rash, nausea, airway restriction, itchy skin, diarrhea or shortness of breath? That would mean you have a food allergy. Food intolerance symptoms are stomach pain, nausea, cramping or bloating, heartburn, headache or vomiting. According to Webmd, "A food allergy is an immune system response. It occurs when the body mistakes an ingredient in food — usually a protein — as harmful and creates a defense system (antibodies) to fight it.

Of course, now that I've had a dream about a baby girl, that means it's probably a baby boy, right?
Have you guys had any baby related dreams yet?
You never know! XD
I haven't had any baby dreams.
My sister dreamed about a little boy when she was pregnant, and a few weeks later she found out it was a boy. He is now 2.5 years old. It could be a girl, and you have to let us know when you find out! )
